The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest (Megaman Legends Arc)

[DededeCloneChris]

“I’ve never played this before,” Pit said holding the paddle upside down. “Is this how you hold it?”

“(Heheheheheh...)” Vector smirked. “Of course, my little angel boy.”

“...” Pit walked over Vector and smacked him on the head.

“OWW!” Vector yelled in pain as Pit returned back to his place and held his paddle right.

“Don’t try to trick me!” Pit said pointing at him. “I’ve been watching many people for ages and I know exactly how to play this!”

“T-then why did you ask?” Vector asked with a grunt.

“I wanted to see if you were of trust, which you failed miserably!”

“Oh, yeah?” Vector asked putting a stronger grip on his paddle.

“Yeah,” DK said showing his teeth. “I’ve been waiting to challenge in you something.”

“Hmph!” Bowser crossed his arms and smirked. “You’re just all talk and no darn action!”

DK made a confused a face and rubbed his head. “Er...”

“Look, I know you’re irritated because I stole the spotlight from you so many times, but guess what? I enjoy it very much!”

“...What?” DK asked confused as Bowser laughed to the sky.

“You won’t take the spotlight away from me! For I am Bowser! The king of the Koopas! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!”

DK sweatdropped and shifted his eyes around. “...Um...sure?”

“He’s just sick of the mind!” Daisy yelled. “Don’t mind what this guy’s saying!”

“O-okay! Thanks!” DK yelled back.

“Ready?” Lakitu asked raising his flag as Yoshi, Bowser and Pit prepared the balls. “Go!”

Kirby Super Star Ultra – Gourmet Race 1

“SHIA!” Pit delivered a fast serve to Vector who accidentaly tripped and let the ball bounce away.

“Point for Mr. Pit!” Cream said happily.

Pit blushed. “I-I’m not that old yet to be called mister...”

“Hey!” Vector called out as he served. “Keep your eyes on the ball!”

“Y-yiah!” Pit hit the ball back at Vector as the scene changed to Tails and Yoshi.

“Yah!” Yoshi hit the ball strongly as Tails quickly sidestepped and returned back the ball at the Yoshi. “U-uah!”

“Point for Tails!” Charmy said raising a flag to the 2-tailed fox as the crowd from Mobius(?) cheered.

“Heh,” Tails grinned. “Have you had enough?”

“Why?” Yoshi grinned back, narrowing his eyes. “This is just the first point for you. I’m not saying that this could be over.”

“Good,” Tails said nodding. “Now, c’mon!”

“YIAH!” Yoshi served again as both continued with their match.

“Those 2 are for some reason trying to defeat the other.” Marth said.

“I somewhat like Yoshi’s determination.” Kirby said sitting above the barricade.

“Then does that mean you’re going to participate seriously?”

“...Is there any food included?”

“...I have a pie...” Marth trailed off as Kirby smiled and nodded happily. “...In the mansion...” Marth added as Kirby made an angry expression and shook his head.

DK and Bowser were probably the ones who were hitting the ball back and forth with all their energies as they both quickly gained points for each fast victory. DK got 5 while Bowser got the same amount.

DK panted heavily. “You...are...good...”

Bowser chuckled as he panted. “Not bad...for a chump...like you...”

“DK!” Diddy yelled close to Chris. “Don’t let that guy get to you! Show him what you’ve got!”

“It’s just me or does everybody here is acting too excited?” Chris asked.

“It is the Olympic Games after all.” Geno said.

“But I wanted to play this one...” Luigi said looking down.

“It looks fun to me...but...” Chris looked around. “I think I’m going to wait for the next event.”

“...Uh-oh.” Geno said.

“What?”

“They’re starting to insult each other.”

Chris looked at Bowser and DK who were now arguing with each other as they played the game. With each insult they said, the ball was hit back to the other opponent.

“Your daddy likes to kiss the pillow!” Bowser argued.

“Your daddy likes to leave you alone!” DK argued!”

“Your mom plays cards in HELL!”

“Your mom plays cards with the DEMON!”

“Your brother got killed yerterday!”

“Your brother is cursing you!”

“Your sister pukes on you during Fridays when you’re sleeping!”

“Your sister likes Mario!”

Mario fainted at that moment (which got Peach surprised as she ducked to see him) as Bowser narrowed his eyes at DK. “Oh, you did NOT say that!”

“I did!” DK said smiling with a chuckle. “Your troops are EVEN dressing like Mario!”

Bowser returned the ball back as he narrowed his eyes even more.

“Your children are acting like Mario!”

Bowser narrowed his eyes even more.

“Your best child watches TV shows with Mario on them!”

Bowser grumbled.

“You’re single!”

Bowser grunted angrily.

“Nobody likes you!”

“That’s a fact!” the crowd from the Mushroom Kingdom yelled as Bowser showed his fangs a little.

“Even worse,” DK said hitting the ball with all his forces. “I’m better than Mario!”

Besides getting an angry grunt from the king of the Koopas, the crowd went furious on the kong and began to yell angrily at him.

“DK!” Diddy yelled. “I think you went too far with that last insult!”

“Y-you think?” DK asked, accidentaly ignoring the ball crossing the table.

“Point for Bowser!” Lakitu announced as the king laughed evily.

“I should watch my mouth from any stupid insult if I were you!” Bowser yelled as he laughed in victory.

“(At least I know how to be good to my opponent,)” Pit thought as he got a point. “(However, I have my doubts about Vector.)”

Vector smirked and moved his tail at the sides. “Never gonna give this up, never gonna give this dooowwnnn!” Vector sang as Pit blocked his ears with some of the participants.

“Ah! Not that horrible singing again!” Pit complained.

“Hey!” Vector called out angrily. “Don’t hurt my feelings, you little angel briefs boy!” Vector cried a crcodile tear. “Y-you don’t know how to treat a poor detective like me...”

Espio facepalmed and frowned at this. “The first second he was the “greatest detective” and the next second he is the “dumbest detective”... How pathetic can he get?”

“I dunno,” Charmy said folding his arms behind his back as he looked away with a smile. “Vector has a really twisted mind...which I like so much!”

“Or does he even have a brain to begin with?” Espio asked.

Charmy saw a small fly inside Vector’s headphones (and probably inside his ear) as it came out from the other side of Vector’s head. The crocodile didn’t feel the little insect flying around him for what Charmy could tell from his spot. “...You’ll be surprised...” Charmy trailed off.

“...I thought as much.” Espio said closing his eyes.

“Oww!” Yoshi got hit on his nose as Tails receive another point. “N-no fair! He cheated!”

“What?” Tails asked a little angry. “Your nose is so big that anyone can hit it!”

Yoshi glared at Tails. “Oh no, no no no no no! You didn’t insult my nose just now!”

“But it’s true!” Tails protested. “Your nose is insanely BIG!”

“That’s IT!” Yoshi yelled back as he tossed the ball high in the air and slammed it down at the table, where Tails quickly retaliated as he flew above since the ball bounced very high and slammed his paddle on the round object while Yoshi used the barricades and jumped high to return the ball.

Sonic watched impressed as the whole match between the 2 went on and on. “Tails! You’re doing so well! Keep going!”

“What do you think I’m doing then?!” Tails asked angrily.

Sonic blinked several times before grinning. “Man, Tails’s now on hot fire.”

“Literally.” Knuckles pointed out as he saw fire covering the 2-tailed fox, along with the Yoshi.

“Well,” Amy chuckled. “Tails is a little bit younger than all of us, right? It was time for him to get angry.”

“The next time we notice,” Sonic began looking at Knuckles. “We’re gonna have Knuckles Jr. hanging around with us.”

“What was that?!” Knuckles asked enraged.

“Snrk,” Chris chuckled. “Knuckles Jr.... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“GRRR!!!” Knuckles grunted angrily at the World Traveler.

“Grrr.” Lucario grunted back at the echidna.

Blaze sweatdropped. “...It was really a good idea for me to be here? Everything seems to be...a little out of control.”

“I ask that to myself many times during the whole day.” Shadow said looking away with a frown.

“I like seeing people getting their brains out by no reason.” Dr. Eggman commented with a small chuckle.

“You like that so much and we know it very well.” Shadow and Blaze said in unison.

“So...who asked you 2?!” Dr. Eggman asked frowning.

“O-oh no!” Yoshi gasped as he quickly lunged at the ball which was going to leave the table from the left edge, since the Yoshi was located on the far right (and even out from the table). “AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

Out the ball was.

“Point for Tails!” Cream announced, raising Tails’s score to 10 as the 2-tailed fox chuckled with a grin.

Yoshi looked at his score and he was 2 points behind his opponent as he grumbled. “Y-you just were lucky! That’s all!”

“What’s that?” Tails asked as his grin grew wider. “Are you intimidated?”

“Of course not!” Yoshi spat back. “I-I’ll show you who’s intimidated!”

Marth chuckled a little. “Who would’ve thought that Tails could get this confident with a match like this...wait...” Marth narrowed his eyes as he somehow found...Fox where Tails was supposed to be. “What the hell?” Marth shook his head and saw Tails back on his place as the Altean prince looked around. “Kirby, is Fox here?”

“I don’t know,” Kirby said eating a rice ball. “But what I know is that this rice ball is so goooooood...”

“Nope,” Twink said. “He ain’t here, mate.”

“...But what was that just now?” Marth looked at Twink. “And why did you talk like that?”

“’Cuz Marine was given permission to come with us, mate!” Twink said as Marine appeared behind his back.

“I couldn’t stay sitting over there much longer so I asked for permission to be down here with all of ya! Mates!” Marine said happily.

“WHAT?!” DK’s voice was heard as they all saw his paddle shattering into pieces as the ball crossed his table.

“Point for Bowser!” Lakitu announced. “Bowser wins!”

“RuuuAAAA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Bowser laughed in triumpt as the kong stared at his paddle.

“B-but I didn’t use too much force on it! Why’d this happen anyway?” DK asked.

“Look,” Bowser began raising his fingers. “I won, you lose, I got victorious, you went down, end of the argument!”

“...But...”

Sonic’s ears perked up a little. “I know why that happened...”

“You know?” Peach asked.

“Yeah...it’s because the sponsor did it!” Sonic said.

“The...sponsor?” Peach asked confused. “But he was very nice and decided to give us the necessary funds to play in the Olympic Games.”

“But he did this!” Sonic protested raising a finger. “The sponsor is trying to sabbotage the events! I know it!”

“Listen you!” Daisy began. “There’s absolutely no way that a guy like him did something so stupid like shattering DK’s paddle by no reason! Besides, how could he have done this in the first place if he isn’t even here?”

“Hmm... Now that I think about it...” Peach wondered. “I never met the sponsor in person...”

“Neither do we.” Dr. Eggman said.

“This is really weird...” Sonic muttered as he heard another sound of something shattering, it was Pit’s paddle who instantly shattered into pieces as the ball crossed the table.

“Point for the idiot o-I mean, Vector!” Charmy announced. “Vector is the winner!”

“W-what?!” Pit asked. “Can’t you give me a spare paddle?”

“Sorry,” Charmy said. “But we don’t have spare paddles since these ones are the only ones left.”

“Ha-ha!” Vector laughed proudly. “You lost!”

“D-darn it!” Pit cursed as he felt a shiver on his back and looked up to the sky. “G-Goddess Palutena! I-it was an accident, I swear!”

“Is Pit...praying or something?” Diddy asked as Pit was doing some weird prays to the sky.

“I heard his goddess is keeping a close eye on him since she is worried that “bad” influences could “contaminate” his mind,” Marth explained. “I know because he told me that.”

“...Ooohhh... So he’ll get punished for saying curses and swears?”

“Pretty much.” Marth said nodding.

“...Er...” Geno trailed off. “Aren’t they getting a little bit...too extreme?”

“Who?” Diddy asked as Geno pointed at Yoshi and Tails. “...What?”

Apparently, both competitors were running to the sides as fast as they could since they returned the ball with very hard points to reach that each one managed to reach. The Yoshi and the young fox were jumping, flying, moving, hitting, running, panting, sweating, grunting and every single thing again.

“Go! Go! Tai-ils! Go! Go! Tai-ils!” The Mobius(?)’s crowd cheered waving flags with Tails’s face on them.

“Yo-shi! Yo-shi! Yo-shi!” The crowd from the Mushroom Kingdom cheered, doing the same as the other crowd with flags showing Yoshi’s egg.

“You’re good,” Yoshi muttered grinning (rather evily). “But I’m-“

“Who cares how good you are?” Tails asked angrily as he slammed the ball on the table (even the ball got covered in flames...literally), prompting Yoshi to flutter in the air and reach the ball as he charged his shot.

“THIS IS THE EN-“

CRACK!

“Huh?!” Yoshi looked at his shattered paddle as the ball rose his cheek and went directly to Toadsworth who ducked in fear and saw the ball crossing the wall as he sweatdropped at the hole it made.

“...Tails...won?” Cream asked raising a flag (scared a little bit from Tails) as the crowd from Mobius(?) erupted in cheers of victory. “Sonic’s team has won the Singles event!”

Mario’s Team: ll
Sonic’s Team: llll
Smashers’ Team: lll

“It seems that Sonic’s team is now ahead of the games!” Toadsworth announced.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” Yoshi yelled loudly before he fell down on his back, his eyes even changed into swirls as Tails jumped happily.

“He was mad a second ago and now he’s acting like himself again.” Amy said.

“That’s my buddy.” Sonic said grinning with a chuckle.

“Your somewhat assassin buddy.” Mallow pointed out.

Sonic smirked. “Okay, it’s time for the next event! Alright! Now I’m ready!” Sonic said punching the air.

River

Tenth event: Single Sculls

Participants (in order): Sonic, Wario, Mallow

“SOMEBODY GET ME OUT FROM THIS THING!” Sonic yelled in panic from his skiff.

“But you said you wanted to participate!” Mallow yelled from his skiff. “I bet you’re just acting like a dork in order to get cooler the next second!”

“I WANNA GET OUT OF HERE! HEEEEEEEEEEELP!” Sonic yelled in panic (again) as the people from Mobius(?) frowned in embarrassment.

Knuckles sighed. “What am I thinking this event was going to torture Sonic to death?”

“Well...” Tails trailed off. “He couldn’t refuse because he was already choosen before he said he wanted.”

“Today’s just not Sonic’s day.” Knuckles said chuckling.

“So here we are!” Toadsworth announced. “The Single Sculls event! In this new competition, only 1 member from each team will participate and row to the other side, where the finish line is located just along the river!”

“...” Pit looked at Wario’s skiff.

“What?” Wario asked with an angry expression.

“(I thought the skiff was going to sink by his weight...) N-nothing...” Pit said shrugging as he walked away.

“...Meh.” Wario rolled his eyes as he took a hold of his paddles.

“YOU THERE!” Vector yelled from inside the river (since he thought the water was going to relax him a bit) and looked at Sonic. “You better row all the way to the finish line or else I’ll squash you down...in the water!”

“NO! NO!” Sonic shook his head in panic. “I-I’LL PLAY THIS! REALLY!” the hedgehog gulped. “I-I’m gonna row all the way along the water...a-and the event should be over, right?”

Vector nodded with a grin. “Now yer gettin’ what I’m talkin’ about!” Vector spoke before diving down the water...where he was attacked by pirahnas as bubbles came out and yelled when they bursted, “UAH! HEY! NOT THERE! AAHH! SOMEBODY! OUCH! OWW! AAHH! EEHH!!!”

Chris looked at a nearby sign that readed:

“No Swimming in the water. Deadly Beijing Pirahnas under the water.”

“T-this river is full of pirahnas?!” Chris asked as he saw a 2-feet tall pirahna jumping close to him.

“Well,” Toadsworth began. “The destination was here so we had to choose this location or else that’d go against the rules of the games.”

“A-are you crazy?” Daisy asked. “They might die!”

“D-do we really care about Wario that much though?” Luigi asked.

“...On second though, it’s fine! Nevermind!” Daisy yelled laughing a little.

“Aw,” Mallow looked down at the water where pirahnas looked up at him. “C’mere, cute fishes. Touch uncle Mallow’s hand...” Mallow put his hand inside before lifting it, having several scars that quickly appeared in the time he put his hand inside. “...It’s this...supposed to be bad?”

“Yes!” Twink and Geno yelled.

“...Oh well, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”

“On your marks...” Lakitu said as the trio grabbed their paddles. “Get set...”

Sonic looked inside the water where the pirahnas seemed to wear napkins around their necks as they showed their fangs, which made the hedgehog gulp in fear as he looked in front of him and grabbed his paddles. “I’m going to die... I’m going to freaking die...”

“GO!” Lakitu yelled shooting at the sky with a bullet as the trio began to row all their way up the river while the crowd went wild.

“Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well. “Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well. “Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well. “Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well. “Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well. “Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well. “Yea-“

“SHUT UP!” Waluigi yelled annoyed as the Mario alter-ego grumbled angrily...

“Yeah!” Wario taunted as he successfully rowed well while the Luigi alter-ego facepalmed.

Though something weird happened during the whole event...

“Hurray!” Sonic cheered as he successfully rowed well.

“Yahoo!” Mallow celebrated as he successfully rowed well.

“Yeah!” Wario said as he successfully rowed well.

“Hurray!”

“Yahoo!”

“Yeah!”

“Hurray!”

“Yahoo!”

“Yeah!”

“Hurray!”

“Yahoo!”

“Yeah!”

“Hurray!”

“Yahoo!”

“Yeah!”

“Hurray!”

“Yahoo!”

“Yeah!”

DK blocked his ears. “W-why can’t they shut up and row normally without talking?”

“Hurray! Yahoo! Yeah! NO! They got inside my mind!” Diddy yelled worried.

“I-I can’t hold on!” Chris said blocking his ears. “I can’t...tolerate...all those...overly repeated...cheers...”

“Hmph.” Lucario went to Chris and blocked his ears with his black hands as the World Traveler blinked in surprise.

“...I don’t hear anything... I don’t hear anything!” Chris cheered happily while Lucario growled happily...but later twitched a little after hearing the cheers again.

“ARGH!” Bowser yelled angrily. “SHUT UP, YOU NUMBSKULLS!”

“Hurray!” Sonic cheered happily as the trio went along the river and towards the finish line at a good pace. “The finish line!” Sonic smiled as he looked over his shoulder and spotted the line which could free him from the skiff.

Music stops

“...Huh?” Mallow found a spot that made water in front of his skiff. “What? A hole?”

It was not soon enough before many holes began to appear one by one around the skiff as the crowd gasped (dramatically to be specific) as the cloud prince looked around in panic.

“H-help! My skiff is sinking!” Mallow yelled worried as he tried to stir the skiff back to land, but the force of the river prevented him from doing so. “Help! I don’t wanna be eaten by pirahnas!”

“Huh?!” Sonic saw 3 holes appearing in the skiff before even more holes began to sprout water out as they appeared. “OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA! HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!”

“Wahahahahahahaha!” Wario laughed as he crossed the finish line. “I’m the winner! Yes!”

Mario’s Team: lll
Sonic’s Team: llll
Smashers’ Team: lll

“Mario’s team is the winner?” Charmy said confused.

“T-this is not the time for that!” Luigi said panicking.

“Oh my goodness!” Peach gasped as she saw Mallow’s and Sonic’s skiffs sinking, where the pirahnas gathered around and prepared leap at the 2. “Mallow! Sonic!”

“They’re gonna be 4-stars dinner for the fishes, mates!” Marine said panicking. “Yeh have to do somethin’, mates!”

“Pit!” Marth began. “Fly over there and help them!”

“I...” Pit looked down. “I can’t... My Wings of Icarus can’t make me stay in the air very longl, only by some seconds before I fall.”

“Dammit...” Geno muttered. “Mallow and Sonic are going to be killed if their skiffs sink.”

“Lucario!” Chris said but Lucario shook his head. “W-why?”

“Remember the pills?” Lucario asked. “They reduced my steel defense, and if I go inside...the pirahnas could eat me alive.”

“And can’t you fight them back?”

“I’m afraid not... I’m sorry...” Lucario said looking down in shame.

“(Oh no...)” Chris looked at Sonic and Mallow almost sinking inside the dangerous river. “(How are we going to save them?... If I could fly or...)” the World Traveler looked around for something...and looked at Kirby holding a red pompom above his head. “...”

“Peach gave this to me,” Kirby said rubbing his face with the pompom. “It feels so soft...”

“...Wait...” Chris stared at the pompom until he got an idea...although he disliked it. “...I guess it’s up to me then...” Chris said sighing disappointed as he changed to his Moogle Knight job and flapped his wings that made him fly above the grass. “Hang in there! Kupo!” Chris yelled flying as fast as he could to the 2 on the water.

“ALLELUYAH!” Sonic yelled jumping towards Chris where he (somehow) grabbed the obviously small Moogle’s hands, making Chris struggle as he gritted his teeth. “H-hurry! Take me to safe land!”

“Oof!” Chris lowered a little. “W-why can’t you stop eating t-those useless c-chili-dogs?! Kupo?!”

“Less talk and more land!” Sonic yelled as Chris moved the hedgehog back and forth to throw him back to his team, but Sonic jumped before Chris could throw him as he landed safely on safe land as the crowd from Mobius(?) sighed in relief.

“...Mallow!” Twink yelled and reminded Chris who quickly gasped and went after the cloud prince who flailed his arms around until the Moggle grabbed his hands and flew to the other side of the river as the skiff was about to sink.

“Wait!” Mallow yelled. “My legs and pants! They’re on the skiff!”

Chris looked back at the skiff and sure enough, Mallow’s legs and pants were still inside as he looked down and saw Mallow...only being a cloud. “Oh, dangit! Kupo!” Chris cursed as he tossed Mallow at Geno who catched him while the Moogle went after the legs and pants (which sounded awkward in many ways), which he managed to get before a pirahna could bite his hands.

The crowd cheered at Chris’s “heroic” effort as he returned, sweated and gave Mallow his legs and pants back.

“Phew...” Mallow said adjusting his pants. “My mom could’ve killed me if I were to lose my lucky pants.”

“Those pants didn’t give you lucky!” Twink protested sniffing. “I... I thought you were going to die there...”

“Whew...” Chris sat on the grass as he panted. “My life for Kupo Moxi...kupo...”

“That was good,” Marth said. “You saved Sonic and Mallow from being eaten alive.”

“At least I did...what I had to do...kupo...”

“Well done, Chris.” Lucario said smiling a little as Chris looked up at him and flapped his small wings happily.

“What was that just now?!” someone in the crowd asked.

“Sonic was going to die!” someone else yelled in the crowd.

“Was Mario’s team responsible for this?!” someone else yelled angrily as the crowd grew violent.

“W-wait!” Peach began. “We didn’t do anything bad! We’ve been participating as the good participants we are. The accidents occurred because... I don’t know, but we are innocent!”

“Yeah, right!” a Flicky pointed at her. “I bet you’re acting so sweetly because you’re hiding your cheating self!”

“W-what?” Peach asked looking down.

“C-calm down, everybody,” Toadsworth began. “Accidents happen from time to time. This is no different at all.”

“You’re acting like that because you’re from the Mushroom Kingdom yourself!”

“Buuuuuuuuurn!” Bowser yelled laughing as some of the Smashers glared at him.

“...Wait, Vector!” Charmy yelled worried as he looked around for the crocodile. “Vector! Where are you?!”

“Wasn’t that honza inside the water, mates?” Marine asked as she looked at the river, where coveniently enough, Vector crawled out in a weak state (it was obvious because he had several bandages around his jaw).

“Never...” Vector began. “Never...enter inside water...with pirahnas inside...”

“Wow,” Espio said a little bit surprised. “He actually resisted his long stance in there?”

“’Cuz I ate one of ‘em,” Vector said burping. “And its friends got scared of me...but man, that didn’t taste so good...”

Kirby looked at the crowd which was getting more violent as they argued. “I-I don’t like this... It’s scaring me...”

Inside the stadium

Persona 4 – Deduction

The event seemed to stop for a short break as the crowd talked by themselves. The Smashers were reunited close to a bench where they were discussing some things.

“About the games,” Marth began. “Doesn’t it look a little odd to you all?”

“You mean the weird things?” Diddy asked.

“Correct. I think something is going on that we haven’t taken into matter.”

“It could be anything,” Chris said raising a hand (above Lucario’s shoulder since the World Traveler was still a Moogle). “But I forgot what were those strange happenings. Kupo.”

“The flags,” Geno reminded them. “The paddles that broke out of the blue and the skiffs sinking by no reason by the holes.”

“Wait,” DK rubbed his head. “Isn’t weird that the last competition was in a river full of pirahnas?”

“Now that you mention it...” Pit thought as he put a fist close to his forehead. “It looks odd that the event was held in such dangerous place.”

“The question is, why?” Mallow thought. “Somebody here wants to get rid of us?”

“That would be the point,” Lucario began. “It’s possible that somebody is hiding in plain view, or probably in front of our eyes...and why are you all staring at me like that?”

Twink blinked surprised. “Wow, that was a change there.”

“A change?” Lucario asked confused.

“Because the only thing that only seems to get out of your mouth most of the time is something related to Chris and nothing about something else that bothers you.” Geno pointed out as Lucario coughed and closed his eyes.

“P-please, I’m always worried abou-“ the Smashers gave bored looks to the Aura Pokémon who glared at them. “Is it really bad to protect my trainer?”

“Er...” Kirby looked away. “N-no...”

“Then don’t complain about it...or else I’ll-“ Lucario’s hands glowed with aura as Chris slapped his cheek, making the aura disappear. “C-Chris!”

“Calm down, you! Kupo!” Chris said pouting a little. “They have a point about you there! Kupo!”

Lucario looked down. “...I’m sorry...”

Chris sighed and rubbed Lucario’s head a little. “It’s okay. You wanted to give it a shot in this small investigation, anyway. Kupo.”

“But what Lucario said was true,” Marth began. “Someone we know is behind the scenes and is trying to kill us all.”

“And I have the perfect culprit!” Mallow said pointing an accussing finger to Bowser, who was with crossed arms several meters away from them as he shifted his eyes. “That guy!”

“It could be,” DK said narrowing his eyes. “There’s always something up with him.”

Diddy narrowed his eyes. “I bet he did all those things so he could win.”

“Or how about Dr. Eggman?” Pit asked pointing at Dr. Eggman, standing several meters away from them. “Knuckles told me that their planet got separated in floating continents and that he assumes that Dr. Eggman was responsible for the whole thing.”

“Wait...” Chris looked down with a serious face. “I’ve heard Amy saying something about their world being separated into floating continents... Kupo.”

“But that’s besides the main point,” Marth said. “Firstly, we have to find the culprit behind the sabotages in the events or who knows what that culprit could do to us in an unexpected moment.”

“You guys thinking about the next event?” Sonic asked walking to them with Blaze and Tails.

“Nope,” Mallow shook his head. “We’re thinking about the odd happenings.”

“Ah,” Blaze nodded. “The mysterious changes, you mean?”

“I was a little bit curious myself,” Tails said. “I thought the same once Sonic nearly got killed by those pirahnas.”

Sonic grinned and chuckled. “C’mon, I’m not tasty enough for little fishes.”

“Little fishes with sharp fangs each, which could devour you in 1 minute.” Diddy pointed out as Sonic shrugged.

“A-anyway,” Sonic began changing the topic about his fear. “I was thinking about the sabotages too, and I think I know who did this...”

“Who?” everyone asked.

“...The sponsor!”

Everyone frowned and ignored that answer.

“Leaving Sonic’s stupid answer,” Geno began coughing a little to get their attention. “It couldn’t have been Mario or the others since they like to play fair.”

“Always.” Twink added.

“To be honest,” Sonic began. “I thought the second person on my list was him.”

“Mario’s not fat!” Yoshi was heard yelling.

“Suuuuuuure he isn’t.” Sonic said with a mischievous grin as the Smashers looked up at the sky annoyed with a frown.

“He didn’t talk about his weight!” Kirby yelled back as Yoshi said, “Oh. Nevermind.”

“We have 2 culprits,” Pit said. “Bowser or Dr. Eggman.”

“Wait,” Kirby pointed at a person. “And him?”

They all looked at Wario (arguing with Waluigi in gibberish) which they blinked at.

“...Possibly too.” DK said nodding.

“So now...we hav-“

“Or Waluigi.” Diddy added.

“We have 4 possible culprits,” Pit said. “Dr. Eggman, Bowser, Wario or Waluigi.”

“How about him?” Kirby asked pointing at Vector (arguing with Espio...in gibberish).

“Fine... 5 people counting Vector.” Pit said sighing.

“Heya! Mates!” Marine greeted the group as she walked to them. “Strange things have been happenin’ here a lot, ain’t it, mates?”

“We were thinking about that, kupo.” Chris said.

“Lucario,” Marth began. “Can you use your aura and see if the Subspace Army is here?”

“Let me see.” Lucario said as he closed his eyes and glowed with aura as Chris smiled.

“You know,” Chris said still smiling as Lucario’s aura circled around his small body. “When you’re so close to Lucario’s aura, it makes you feel so relaxed and happy. Kupo.”

Lucario chuckled and smiled a little bit. “Thanks. I’m happy for that.”

“I’m going to hang on your shoulder more often from now on then, kupo.” Chris said flapping his wings happily as Lucario’s tail wagged a little.

“Found anything with your chakra?” Sonic asked as Lucario glared at him.

“It’s aura,” Lucario corrected him as he stopped glowing. “And...I found something.”

“Then what is it? Are they here?” Twink asked.

Lucario shook his head. “No, they aren’t. Technically they are here but far away from this place.”

“I guess they got lost?” Mallow asked.

“Nope,” DK said shaking his head. “They’re not that stupid to get lost in their way here.”

“Besides the stadium being so big and spacious.” Diddy pointed out.

“But it bothers me...” Pit said moving his head with his right hand. “It’s giving me a headache everytime I try to think too hard.”

“Maybe we should stop thinking for now and see what happens next before we reach a conclusion.” Marth suggested and they nodded.

“I’ll try to help if you need my aid,” Blaze said. “I’m concerned about what might happen today.”

“We all are.” Tails said.

Music stops

“S-sorry for the delay,” Toadsworth called out. “But the games are back to continue with their usual schedule!”

The crowd seemed to have lost their anger and cheered loudly again as always. Sonic, Blaze and Tails returned back to their team.

“Ahem,” Toadsworth coughed. “We know move on to the next leg of the Olympic Games!”

“I wonder what could it be this time...” Diddy wondered.

“The Pole Vault event!”

Target Smash!!

Eleventh event: Pole Vault

Pariticipants (in order): Daisy, Blaze, Kirby, Peach, Amy, Marth, Waluigi, Sonic, Geno

“Oh, Pole Vault,” Marth said smiling a bit. “I’ll participate this time.”

“But now with this though,” Twink said taking Marth’s cape off. “There. We don’t want your cape stuck in the high pole and strangle you.”

Marth sweatdropped. “W-well...you’re right on that.”

“That’s why I left my dream to wear a cape!” Twink said happily. “Capes can kill you!”

“Exactly, mate!” Marine (who has been standing there besides the group) said making a fist. “Back at my place, I used to run ‘round and ‘round with a cape until that bonza got stuck on the edge of the table and pulled me back to a pile of knives. Yikes! That was scary!”

“Pile of...knives?” Pit asked raising an eyebrow in horror.

“I used to play with ‘em, mate.”

“...Y-you’re really sick,” Chris said nodding. “R-really, really sick. Kupo.”

“Many’ve said that to me but I ain’t caring about bad opinions, mate!”

Several not so important characters later...

Marth grabbed the pole and looked straight to the crossbar positioned several feet away from him. The Altean narrowed his eyes as the signal for his start began and he quickly ran to it.

“Hey,” Mallow chuckled. “Marth looks kinda funny when he runs with that big pole.”

DK chuckled. “You’re right. He does.”

The Altean struck down his pole and prepared to be propelled high enough to cross the crossbar and land on the big blue couch. Many watched the pole bending a little with every second as they grew curious.

“...” Pit blinked in confusion. “Wait, something is not right here...”

“...The pole!” Diddy yelled as the pole suddenly broke in 2 (even if it wasn’t that very bent) and Marth hopped backwards and fell on his back with a pain running through his back as Kirby, Pit and Chris ran to him.

“W-what just happened?!” Pit asked.

“The pole just...snapped...” Marth said as Chris helped him to get up. “I...can’t tell why though...”

“This is...” Toadsworth trailed off. “Unexpected! Why’d Marth’s pole snap in such an unexpected way?”

“Don’t give me this again!” a spectator from Mobius(?) yelled angrily. “I bet Mario’s team is responsible for this like the last time!”

Bowser chuckled. “Funny to see everyone here thinking that we’re the villains.”

“But you ARE one!” Daisy said angrily.

“And yet, I’m not guilty of this. Hahahahahaha!” Bowser laughed as Daisy grunted.

“W-we haven’t done anything like that!” Luigi yelled. “We want to have a friendly competition with Sonic and his friends today s-“

“SHUT UP!” the crowd from Mobius(?) yelled angrily at the green plumber who disappeared in a blink of an eye as a trail of dust went all the way behind Yoshi, who was oblivious of the whole thing.

“Calm down, everybody!” Toadsworth tried to calm down the crowd. “Unfortunately, I need to come with the decision that, if the equipment from the Olympics were to be broken, the participant will get a penalty for his or her own responsability.”

The crowd didn’t like this at all once they saw the order from the better and to the worse participant in the Pole Vault event.

1st - Daisy
2nd – Blaze
3rd – Amy
4th – Peach
5th – Waluigi
6th – Geno
7th – Sonic
8th – Kirby
9th – Marth

“Oh, how convenient!” a Flicky from you-know-where said angrily, rolling his eyes. “Turns out one of Mario’s team is on the top of the chart after the nancy boy failed to do his turn!”

“Nancy boy?” Marth asked narrowing his eyes.

“You gotta let that tiara go one day, man.” Mallow said with a frown before Marth facepalmed.

“Listen,” Toadsworth began. “The rules, according to the sponsor, clearly explain that, so I can’t do anything in my power to change that.”

“See there?” Sonic asked crossing his arms. “That sponsor guy is the culprit!”

Knuckles frowned. “For the last time, Sonic, he didn’t do any of this!”

“But I know he did!” Sonic protested. “The sponsor is behind all this!”

“Who is really behind all this useless blabbing is you, however!”

“Meh, who cares about your opinion?” Sonic asked looking away.

“And without further ado...” Toadsworth added the point for Mario’s team as the crowd from Mobius(?) yelled angrily while the crowd from the Mushroom Kingdom seemed confused.

Mario’s Team: llll
Sonic’s Team: llll
Smashers’ Team: lll

Kirby looked down. “We’re...losing now...” Kirby sniffed.

“We don’t care about that!” Pit said. “We care about what made Marth’s pole break all of a sudden!”

“But what?” DK asked with a worried look. “I’m starting to think that a mastermind is trying to defeat, or kill us in some way.”

Chris shuddered as he returned to Lucario’s shoulder, where the Aura Pokémon rubbed his cheek with his. “I’m worried... Kupo...”

“Me too, Chris,” Lucario said. “...Me too...”

[DededeCloneChris]

“...Aw, c’mon!” Mallow said running on his feet. “It’s just a little event that we happened to lose! Nothing to be worried about! It’s not like many odd things as sabotages will occur while we’re around!”

How wrong was the cloud prince...

12th Event: Long Jump

“AAHH!!!” Bowser tripped above a hole that suddenly appeared and rolled all the way to the wall where he crashed, making the crowd from Mobius(?) laugh madly as the king’s eyes spun.

Mario facepalmed at this...

...While Sonic cheered.

Mario’s Team: llll
Sonic’s Team: lllll
Smashers’ Team: lll

13th Event: Vault

“Haaaaa...”

CRACK!

“BLAZE!” Cream, Marine (and even Cheese) yelled once the table that Blaze used to jump high broke and made her hit her back on an edge as the rabbit called the medics. The crowd from the Mushroom Kingdom cheered and laughed.

Sonic facepalmed at this...

...While Wario and Waluigi cheered.

Mario’s Team: llll
Sonic’s Team: lllll
Smashers’ Team: lll

14th Event: Archery

Chris smiled and aimed his arrow at the far away target. “A Moogle Knight knows how to aim arrows too, kupo!” Chris said happily as he let his right hand go from the arrow...

...That somehow shot backwards (very fastly) as it nearly hits Kirby who was eating a watermelon on the bench. The puffball’s head was about to be crossed by the pointy arrow as the whole crowd laughed at this, while the World Traveler felt extremely embarrassed and looked down in shame as he returned to his team, where Lucario patted his back.

Marth facepalmed at this...

...While Bowser cheered (and got an Aura Sphere on his face by you-know-who).

Mario’s Team: lllll
Sonic’s Team: lllll
Smashers’ Team: lll

15th Event: High Jump

Amy gracefully backflipped above the crossbar...

...Before she hit her head really hard on it, and her feet got stuck on the crossbar as she fell down with a hard landing.

“Was the crossbar that high?” Twink asked while the crowd from the Mushroom Kingdom laughed madly.

“I...don’t...know...” DK trailed off thinking while Tails facepalmed...

...As Mallow cheered (and got a hit on the back of his head by Geno).

Mario’s Team: lllll
Sonic’s Team: lllll
Smashers’ Team: llll

16th Event: 4 x 100m Freestyle

Sonic, unfortunately, had to particpate and thus he drowned upon being thrown inside by Vector.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened though...

...As Daisy cheered at this.

Mario’s Team: lllll l
Sonic’s Team: lllll
Smashers’ Team: llll

17th Event: 400m Hurdles

As soon as Geno tried to jump a last hurdle, it moved suspiciously away and the puppet accidentaly tripped on it and fell off-track as the whole crowd laughed madly.

Mallow and Twink facepalmed...

...As Vector cheered.

Mario’s Team: lllll l
Sonic’s Team: lllll l
Smashers’ Team: llll

18th Event: 400m

Shadow was able to dodge the invisible holes along the way to the finish line...

...Until a hand(?) grabbed his foot and made him trip face-first, making the whole crowd (it turned out that the residents from Mobius(?) hated Shadow) laughed madly.

Dr. Eggman facepalmed...

...As Chris cheered.

“You’re supposed to be thinking about what happened! Not cheer at it!” Pit said as Chris chuckled worried.

Mario’s Team: lllll l
Sonic’s Team: lllll l
Smashers’ Team: lllll

19th Event: Skeet

Bowser aimed his rifle at the airborn targets flying in the distance...

...As somehow the rifle shot the bullets at the 3 teams who gasped and ran away from the spot. Chris tripped and gasped as he covered his head in fear, but a big shadow covered the poor Moogle World Traveler from being shot.

“Lu-Lucario! Kupo!” Chris flew happily after Lucario shielded him with perfect accuracy using the spikes of his arms as the Aura Pokémon hugged his trainer with his right arm and licked his face.

Even the crowd aww’d at this...

...While Pit cheered, receiving bored looks from Chris and Lucario.

“S-shouldn’t you be angry at Bowser?” Pit asked sweating as Bowser was seen stomping on the grass behind the angel.

Mario’s Team: lllll l
Sonic’s Team: lllll l
Smashers’ Team: lllll l

20th Event: Dream Platform

High above...somewhere in an airship. Still in Beijing(?)

Mallow looked down the 10,000m of height from the airship and the ocean as he chuckled. “Pfft, please, my dreams have 100,000m of height than this!”

“It’s that really true?” Twink asked.

“Nope.”

“...”

“Anyway,” Geno began. “Good luck out there.”

Mallow nodded with a chuckle as he walked to his position, looking the other 2 participants who were Bowser (probably because he wanted to repay that incident earlier) and Dr. Eggman.

“Well,” Marth began as the other members were on the airship. “Bowser was sabotaged as well so he was telling the truth back then.”

“But Dr. Eggman haven’t been,” Pit pointed out. “I bet he is behind all this.”

“I heard that!” Dr. Eggman said twisting his hips a little. “I’m 110 percent innocent!”

“Not until we have actual proof!”

“Whatever!”

Pit glared at the doctor(?).

“Ready?” Lakitu asked raising a flag as the 3 raised their hands. “Go!”

Mallow, Bowser and Dr. Eggman dove to the ocean as their teams went to the edges of the airship and cheered on them.

“Good luck!” Kirby yelled as he almost fell down but Chris grabbed him by his back.

“He needs to do acrobats in midair to score up points,” DK began. “But is he one?”

“I doubt it.” Geno said rubbing his wooden chin.

“...So...” Diddy began as the 3 went down. “There has been a lot of odd things ever since Mallow said that nothing wouldn’t happen.”

“But Bowser was already proven innocent since he got sabbotaged,” Chris said on Lucario’s shoulder. “Maybe Dr. Eggman will get untouched in this event, then we’ll prove he was the one wh-“

It was not long before the blue sky turned red as a huge explosion, followed by a scream of agony, came from down below that the group easily recognized and gave bored looks to each other.

“...I take my words back. Dr. Eggman is innocent, kupo.” Chris said sweatdropping.

“...Well,” Kirby began licking a popsicle out of nowhere. “He probably tried to feel sabotaged and that’s why he did that.”

The group ignored another explosion with a cry of agony that yelled something about a back.

“By the way,” Lucario turned to Blaze, who had some kind of plate behind her back to make her back straight. “Is your back feeling fine?”

“I guess,” Blaze said as her right eye twitched. “The pain is annoying, but I should be fine if I take rest.”

“I’m glad.”

“Ooh, Lucario,” Chris made a mischievous look. “It was a long time after you fell for a girl, kupo.”

“I-I haven’t!” Lucario protested blushing.

“Admit it,” Chris waved a hand. “You like to hang out with girls rather than boys, kupo.”

Lucario blushed even more as Blaze blinked confused. “A-at least they’re more sociable tha-“

Chris gasped. “D-don’t tell me you’re ga-“

“Dare to finish that word and I’ll send you to hell.” Lucario threatened narrowing his eyes at his trainer...

...Who whimpered, sniffed and covered his eyes in fear and horror as Lucario realized his mistake and hugged his trainer tightly.

“I-I didn’t mean to scare you!” Lucario said worried as Chris sobbed on his chest. “P-please, don’t hate me! I-I beg of you!”

“...You 2 are total weirdos...” Blaze commented backing away to her team, which Lucario blinked shocked.

“Ku-kupo...” Chris sobbed as Lucario rested his head above Chris’s head.

“So in a few words,” DK began as the same cry of agony came from down below with another explosion. “Eggman wasn’t responsible either.”

“I have other suspects.” Diddy began.

“Who?” Marth asked interested.

“We have the crowd,” Diddy said showing them a picture of the crowds from both places. “They seem rather shady if you ask me. Why are they blaming the other crowd? I smell rivalry...” Diddy shifted his eyes around.

“...Next.”

“We have the strange Nazi Toads,” Diddy said showing them a picture of the Nazi Toads from the previous time, giving creepy smiles. “They look even shadier! The color of their faces...yuck!”

“But they’ve been nice to us because they’ve been cheering on us!” Twink said.

“Oh, I wonder why, kupo...” Chris said rolling his eyes.

“Next.” Marth said.

“We have...her,” Diddy showed them a picture of Marine. “I heard from Knuckles that Marine wanted so badly to participate but couldn’t at the end.”

“That’s like so right, mates!” Marine called appearing right behind Marth (who jumped away from her in shock). “I asked to be in this but nooooo, those honzas said I couldn’t enter, mates!”

“A-ha!” Twink glared at her. “So you’re behind all this!”

“Mwhahahahahahaha!” Marine laughed. “Yes, that’s right!” the others blinked confused before glaring at her as she looked mischievously. “I’m all behind...tis!” Marine showed them a picture where she was shown trying not to laugh because she painted Sonic’s little tail red with a brush. “Serves ‘im right for stealin’ mah hot-dog, mates!”

Kirby looked at Sonic’s tail and it was, indeed, red. “Heheheheheh...”

Sonic’s ears perked up and looked at them. “Something’s wrong?”

“N-nope, ku-kupo...” Chris said chuckling.

“...Hmph.” Sonic turned the other way.

“So,” Marine started tilting her hips at the sides with folded arms behind her back. “That’s all? Mates?”

“...Y-you can go,” Marth said with a nod as th raccoon walked away. “Next if you have more.”

“These 2 knuckleheads.” Diddy said.

“WHAT?!” Knuckles yelled from behind DK who jumped away from him in shock.

“D-did I even call you?” Diddy asked as Knuckles looked at the picture.

“...Oh,” Knuckles rubbed his head embarrassed. “Sorry for that... Later guys.” Knuckles walked away.

“Charmy and Espio?” Kirby asked and Diddy nodded.

“Yep. These guys wanted to enter as well. Charmy being the one who wanted so badly.” Diddy explained.

“And my plan hasn’t work yet!” Charmy was heard saying as the Smashers looked at him, talking to Espio. “My plan to...my plan to...”

“Your plan to?” Espio raised an eyebrow.

“...My plan to sabotage...” that made everyone get interested. “...My plan to sabotage Vector for taking away my videogame!”

Espio frowned at this. “Charmy, that game was burning many cells inside your mind...if you had a mind to begin with.”

Charmy pouted. “B-but it was Wonder Boy in the Monster Land!”

“Even so.” Espio said as Charmy threw his hands up.

“...Put an X on them.” Twink said as Diddy threw the photo away.

“Then,” Marth began again. “Nobody here isn’t the culprit?”

“It seems that way,” Pit said. “But it’s still strange that everyone here seems so innocent.”

“But I DO know who it was!” Sonic said walking to them. “It’s the sponsor!”

The Smashers ignored that as usual, leaving Sonic grunting in frustration.

“Grrr! Guys! I’m serious! The sponsor is behind all this!” Sonic said opening his hands.

“Listen you!” Chris said flying close to Sonic’s face. “There’s absolutely no way that a guy that we haven’t met is the culprit of all the sabotages! Kupo!”

“But my intuition is telling me the answer!” Sonic protested. “C’mon, you gotta believe me!”

“Sonic...” DK sighed. “I think your idea, or answer, isn’t that intelligent at all...”

“The sponsor isn’t the culprit, and that’s final.” Marth said as Sonic looked down.

“...OK, OK... I understand...darn...” Sonic muttered the last part.

An explosion with a cry of agony that they recognized from Vector came from down below.

“And that proves Vector isn’t the culprit either.” Diddy said, throwing a picture of Vector away..

“Was he another suspect?” Kirby asked.

“Well, he seems shady all the time with that weird look on his face!”

“But it’s not him!” Sonic said angrily.

“And neither the sponsor! Kupo!” Chris protested.

“C-calm down!” a voice yelled from behind the group. The Smashers turned their back and found Luigi playing with his fingers. “Y-you’ve been yelling for quite some time a-and I wanted to stop that...so...yes...”

“...Excuse us,” Pit said embarrassed. “W-we were talking about the happening today...and I guess we got sidetracked.”

“Oh?” Luigi asked confused. “You mean those bothersome and sudden happenings? Because I was wondering that myself for a time ago.”

Geno blinked surprised. “Wait, you know who was the guy who did all this?”

“It is the sponsor?” Sonic asked.

“...N-no...” Luigi rubbed his hat. “I-I’m sorry but I don’t know yet...b-but that’s besides the point.”

“Besides what point?” Diddy asked.

“W-well...you see...” Luigi kicked the air a little bit. “Remember when I was under Dimentio’s mind and was Mr. L?”

DK and Diddy narrowed their eyes. “Oh yeah. You were very annoying back then.” DK said.

“D-don’t hurt me...” Luigi said backind away a little. “I-I want to apologize to you after what I did under that...scary alter-ego...a-and I...hm...h-how do I put it?”

“What are you trying to say exactly? Kupo?” Chris asked as he felt Lucario hopping up a little (but very little). “What is it, Lucario? Kupo?”

“Luigi is thinking about...joining us.” Lucario said looking away as the Smashers gave surprised looks at the green plumber.

Luigi blushed and looked away. “H-how did you...w-whatever... The point is that...I-I don’t have anything else to do after the Olympics end and since you’re all here and represent the Smash Mansion... I-I want to return to the mansion and see what’s new and such.”

“...Hahahahahahahaha!!!” Sonic broke out laughing and fell on his back. “Y-you?! A guy like you joining us?! A-are you being serious?!”

Luigi looked a little bit annoyed. “Y-yes! I-I can fight too!”

“Buahahahahahahahahaha!!!” Sonic laughed even louder. “F-fight? G-gimme a break, pal! Y-you’ve gotta be kidding me!”

Luigi trembled a little. “Y-you’re going to regret that after I use my Super Fire Punch on you!”

“...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Sonic laughed even louder as Wario and Waluigi looked at him like some sort of maniac before looking down the airship.

“Oh, please!” Luigi said making an angry expression. “I-I can fight very well!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“Luigi...” Marth trailed off.

“Y-yes?” Luigi looked worried at the Altean prince.

“Didn’t Master Hand remove your abilities when you left with Mario, Peach and Bowser?”

“...” Luigi looked down embarrassed. “Y-yes, he did...”

Chris walked to Sonic and kicked his side. “Sonic! Stop it! Kupo!”

“I-I’m fine,” Sonic said wiping a tear. “I’m fine now...but what did he say a moment ago?”

“That he was going to join us?” Kirby asked before Sonic broke out laughing madly.

And so the day went on...

Music stops

Mario’s Team: lllll ll
Sonic’s Team: lllll ll
Smashers’ Team: lllll ll

It was decided that the 4 X 100m Relay was going to be the last event for the night after Mallow won the Dream Platform event, Blaze (which was a surprised with the condition she was in) won the Dream Race event and Kirby (EVEN more surprising) won the Dream Table Tennis. The Dream Fencing was decided to be dropped out of the schedule since Toadsworth told the team that they were in a tie, and was impossible to consider the previous mentione event suitable since the 4 X 100m Relay was worthy to be the last event.

Inside the Stadium

Lights shone and illuminated the night sky. The teams were getting prepared for the last leg of the games because everyone was going to participate in the 4 X 100m Relay (Toadsworth even called the event 8 X 100m Relay to give a good final).

“The moon...” Sonic trailed off as he stared at the moon.

“What’s up with you and the moon?” Knuckles asked.

“What?” Sonic crossed his arms. “Can’t a guy like me enjoy it in peace?”

Knuckles grunted. “You better not act weird or something because of it.”

Sonic chuckled and grinned afterwards. “So what?”

“Nevermind,” Knuckles sighed. “It’s useless to talk with you.”

“Since this is the last event...” Marth looked down to Kirby. “You need to run as fast as you can.”

“First,” Kirby made an angry expression. “I want motivation.”

“Certainly,” Marth said taking out 3 Rice Balls that Kirby swallowed and burped a little. “Now?”

“Yeeeees.” Kirby said dreamily.

DK was punching the air. “Yeah, last event. I can do this.”

Diddy seemed to punch DK from several centimeters. “Act tough, act strong, act like you.”

“Who do you think you are?” Mallow asked. “Bruce Lee?”

“Whoever that is, yes.” DK said determined.

“OH YEAH!” Daisy yelled loudly. “We can do this, team! We-can-do-this! I’m so pumped up to grab that trophy!”

“G-geez,” Luigi shuddered. “Y-your enthusiasm sometimes scares me.”

“C’mon!” Daisy slapped Luigi’s back. “You gotta be excited like I am!”

“W-well...true...” Luigi said playing with his fingers.

“If you run fast,” Chris said to Lucario who looked at him. “I promise I’m going to treat you a steak. Kupo.”

“Hmm...” Lucario closed his eyes happily.

“Yep, I want to spend the time with you with a good reward,” Chris rubbed his Pokémon’s left ear a little which made the Aura Pokémon’s tail wag.

“Snrk,” Bowser chuckled. “You his dog or something? Hahahahahahahaha!”

A red toon vein popped out Chris’s forehead as he raised his sword, which glowed in a green light. “Shut up, you! Moogle Lance!” Chris swung his sword and sent 3 air slashes that sliced Bowser down.

“O-ouch...” Bowser muttered on the floor.

Sonic was flexing his legs by stretching them at the sides...as the reflection of the moon was reflected on his eyes. “OK... Last event... One where I can run...”

“At least the effects of the pills are going to wear out soon.” Tails said.

“Too bad I didn’t have the chance to research them.” Dr. Eggman said, sighing disappointed.

“For what?” Amy asked. “To use them against us?”

“...To be honest...yes.”

Amy rolled her eyes. “Yeah, figures.”

Mario shook his head. “Sorry but, I can’t join you guys yet.”

“Why?” Pit asked.

“I still think I have something else to do here after the Olympic Games end...but I don’t what it is.” Mario explained.

“I see...”

Mario smiled a little. “But don’t worry! You have Luigi! He already told me he was going with you.”

Pit looked at Luigi who was trying to back away from the overly excited Daisy. “...One question.”

“What?”

“Can he fight?”

“Yes,” Mario said nodding. “He probably is a... I don’t want to say it but you know what I mean. He probably is a you-know-what in your eyes but he’s almost as good as me when the time is right.”

“Give me an example.”

Maio rubbed his hat. “I...I can’t tell you an example because you need to find it.”

Pit rolled his eyes. “I kind of assumed you were going to say that... Hm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“This is odd...” Pit got in a thinking position. “Why do I get the feeling that we met before?”

“Met before? But we just met.” Mario said.

“...Maybe is my imagination.”

“Finally,” Espio began. “This thing is going to be over.”

“But why?” Charmy said sniffing. “I liked the games...”

“It’s back to our old and poor job after this,” Espio said with a chuckle. “As always...sadly.”

“I guess it can’t be helped... Wait.”

“What?”

Charmy pointed at the Smashers. “Do you think...we can go and visit them sometime? They seem to be fun.”

“Hmm... I’ll ask Vector about that.”

“Hurray!”

“Well,” Geno began. “Soon we’re going to leave after we play the last event.”

“I’m going to miss Mario and Peach.” Twink said sadly.

“What about Bowser?” Mallow asked.

“...Who?” Twink asked with an annoyed look.

“...A-anyway,” Mallow looked at Geno. “There wasn’t any kind of attack here.”

“It’s good to know but...” Geno thought for a moment. “I don’t think we’re going to leave yet.”

“Why is that?” Twink asked.

“...We better be prepared for anything,”Geno narrowed his eyes. “Something will happen now. My intuition isn’t lying.”

“Okay.” Mallow said nodding.

“Hey!” Sonic called out. “How come you believe in his intuition and not mine?!”

The trio ignored him.

Chris yawned and mumbled. “I want to return now... I feel so tired, kupooooo...”

“...?!” Lucario felt a presence and looked around.

Chris looked at him with a tired look. “What is it?”

“...They’re here...”

Chris’s eyes widened. “W-what?! S-seriously?! Kupo?!”

Lucario nodded and showed his fangs. “They’re coming here! Everyone!”

The Smashers quickly looked at Lucario. “Really?” Diddy asked.

“There is no doubt about it...” Lucario closed his eyes and glowed with his aura. “...I sense...an enormous airship coming to this very location.”

“Airship...” Marth thought for a moment. “You don’t mean...”

It was not long before the sky began to fill with purple clouds as the crowd stopped chattering and were silenced by the huge shadow above the stadium. “What the heck is that?” a resident from Mobius(?) asked pointing at the sky.

“Lucario...” Chris trailed off as Lucario stopped glowing and looked up.

“Yes...” Lucario nodded.

“...It feels like the intro of the game.”

Lucario facepalmed. “No videogame analogies right now.”

“Oops, kupo.” Chris said chuckling a bit.

“Hm?” Toadsworth looked up. “It’s the weather in Beijing so different than ours?”

“...Huh?” Kirby looked up and narrowed his eyes a little bit. “...The Halberd!”

Super Mario Bros. 3 – Airship Theme

“The Halberd?!” the Smashers repeated surprised as the huge battleship descended from the clouds and the crowd gasped in shock at the size of the airship.

“I knew it,” Geno said putting his right hand above his left hand. “They wanted to come here as well.”

“But...why so late?” Mallow asked before the sound of a speaker coming from the Halberd blared out.

“DUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“Who’s that?” DK asked.

“Glad you asked, ape! My name is the great Porky!” the speaker yelled as the crowd talked to each other. “And we’ve come here to bring the destruction and panic!”

“Oh yeah?” a resident from Mobius(?) (who was probably the same one) asked. “How?”

“That’s simplier than the rules to park a car!” Porky laughed for a bit. “We’re gonna drop some bombs around here and you people need to be civilized and stay there in your seats. Doing otherwise will get you all a serious punishment!”

“How so?”

“...Argh! Just panic or something because we’re gonna deploy the bombs!”

Diddy made a bored look. “...And what does he think the public will do?”

The whole crowd looked at each other before panicking and running towards the exit. The 3 teams looked up and saw the Halberd landing inside the stadium where it opened the hangar and R.O.B.s began to carry out the Subspace Bombs.

“Oh no!” Yoshi yelled. “The bombs! They’re going to take the stadium with all of us here!”

“But the people managed to escape, right?” Twink asked as the screen showed the people who appeared to be trapped inside a force field just when they were about to leave the stadium. “F-force fields?!”

“DUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Porky walked down the hangar with the help of his Spider Mech, along with Petey Pirahna. “Heeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Porky! Ready to break havoc and punish guys like you all!” he said pointing at the 3 teams who were gathered in the same place (with Cream, Charmy, Espio, Cheese and Marine).

“W-what’s happening here?” Cream asked as she hugged Cheese in fear.

“The Subspace Army is trying to blow up the bombs here!” Mallow said.

“Wait!” Sonic interrupted. “Were you 2 responsible for this?”

“For deploying the bombs? Hell yeah!” Porky said laughing.

“No! I was talking about the sabotages!”

“...Whatever you mean? Blue porcupine?”

Sonic raised an eyebrow. “...Blue porcupin-I mean, you didn’t do any sabotages here either?”

“The only sabotage I made in my entire life was to put a needle on my kindergarden teacher’s seat when I was little and handsome!”

“...I feel sorry for the teacher...” Peach said looking down.

“Peach,” Yoshi began with a bored look. “You’re extremely late to feel sorry for someone...”

“So they didn’t do any sabotages at all?” Tails asked.

“Aha! It was the sponsor guy!” Sonic said.

Music stops

Crickets jumped close to the hedgehog and chirped several times before they jumped away.

Super Mario Bros. 3 – Airship Theme

“...Just ignore him.” Shadow said with a frown as the blue hedgehog glared at him.

“...Wait,” Luigi looked around. “W-where are Bowser, Wario and Waluigi?”

“They were here a moment ago.” Yoshi said.

“...And they’re there.” Geno said pointing that the screen where the trio were trapped along with the crowd inside the force fields, because apparently they tried to run away as well.

“Force fields?” Porky asked confused. “When did we set force fields?”

“Hyuck?” Petey answered.

“I didn’t get what you said,” Porky turned at the teams. “But what I DO get is that you all need to be annihilated right here and now!”

“The Halberd,” Pit began taking out his dual blades. “We have the Halberd standing in front of us.”

“Meaning that we can retrieve it if we get those 2 out of the way.”

“What Meta Knight just said seems to be what w-“

“META KNIGHT?!” the Smashers yelled in shock as they found the Star Warrior ready with Galaxia in hand.

“I came here as soon as Master Hand told me that the Halberd was here,” Meta knight explained. “And I need to retrieve it myself.”

Reunited with Meta Knight

Chris pouted and flew besides Meta Knight with his sword ready. “I told you before that we’re going to retrieve it together, right? Kupo?”

“...You didn’t.”

Chris sweatdropped. “W-well, we’re going to! Kupo!”

“...Fine by me.” Meta Knight said as he glared at Petey and Porky.

“H-hey!” Tails called out. “W-what about the bombs?!”

“You Tails can deactivate it,” Sonic instructed. “You did it last time and it wasn’t that hard, right?”

“Well... I guess I can do it again, but I need help.”

“I want to do something worthwhile.” Espio said raising his hand.

“Yeah!” Charmy took out a wrench from his back. “I’ll give you my help!”

“If you don’t mind,” Cream said smiling a bit. “I’d like to help you out as well.”

“Chao chao chao!” Cheese said happily.

“Leave it to me, mates!” Marine said happily. “If repairing a boat is an easy task to me, dismantling a bomb isn’t gonna be that hard either, mates!”

“...Those 2 things are unrelated...but thanks.” Tails said with a nod as he ran away with the 5.

“Wait!” Daisy yelled. “I wanna help out!”

“You?” Peach asked.

“I-I can’t fight those 2 over there, duh!” Daisy said as she ran away to Tails.

“...Me neither...” Peach said as she ran with Daisy.

“I don’t think we’re going to be of much help with out abilities,” Mario said as Luigi stood behind him. “So we’re leaving the fighting to you.”

“I understand,” Marth said. “But please, try to dismantle the bombs as well.”

“We’ll do.” Mario said as he ran away with Luigi (who tripped but then got up).

“Mwhahahahahahahaha!” Dr. Eggman laughed as he took out 2 wrenches from his back. “If I dismantle these bombs, then I can get a sample of their mechanisms and use it agains-“

“You’re not going to do such a thing,” Shadow stated crossing his arms. “Because I’m going to watch you closely.”

Dr. Eggman sweated a little. “I-ah... Oh, dangit! Fine! Come with me!” Dr. Eggman said as he ran away with Shadow...

...Then Vector followed them. “You need my strength if you want to break things up!” Vector yelled.

“Amy, go with them!” Sonic said.

“W-what? But I want to stay here and fight!” Amy protested as Knuckles stepped in front of her.

“If you stay here you’re going to get in our way! Leave!”

WHACK!

Knuckles was now buried in the floor as Amy stepped on him. “No! I said I’m going to stay here!”

“Just let her be,” DK said. “I think she’s going to be great with us.”

Amy blushed. “Oh ho ho, thank you.”

“Anything for a little miss.”

Sonic shuddered. “And where is Blaze?”

“Over here!” Blaze called from a bench. “I’m going to stay here because I want to recover from my back!”

“...Er...sure!”

“I’ll fight,” Yoshi said narrowing his eyes. “I want to play the last event and win like the last time.”

“Wait...” Diddy began. “How come you didn’t show up here sooner?”

“Because we got lost on our way here,” Porky explained. “We ended up in some place called Mesiko where all the people were wearing those sombrero things on their heads. Their nachos were awesome though and after that, we ended up in Purape or something where the french bread was also awesom-“

“So basically you got lost around the world, kupo?” Chris asked.

Porky sweated a little. “N-no! I-it’s not like my curiosity got the better of me or something!”

“...Sure...” DK said with a bored look.

“So everyone’s ready?” Mallow asked as Chris, Meta Knight, Marth, DK, Diddy, Kirby, Lucario, Sonic, Knuckles (who got out from the hole), Amy, Pit, Geno, Twink (hidding behind Geno) nodded with serious looks at the 2 villains who chuckled.

“You don’t even have a chance against pretty me,” Porky said chuckling. “You better lay down and die before we lay you down and kill you!”

“HYUCK!” Petey said nodding.

“They could be keeping Kalmar inside the Halberd,” Geno muttered. “I’m not going to let them escape... Not now...”

Preview of the next chapter

“The show is about to start very shortly!” Chris said chuckling. “And I need you, Diddy! Kupo!”

“R-really?” Diddy asked excited.

...

“Remember,” Lucario began. “Follow my example if you want to do it.”

“I’ll listen to whatever you want to teach me.” Chris said as Lucario’s tail wagged a little.

...

“We’re almost done here!” Knuckles yelled dodging the missiles. “We can’t fail now!”

“And would you please shut up? Knucklehead?” Sonic asked annoyed.

...

“Who will reach the finish line?” Toadsworth asked. “Who will take the trophy back home? Who shall be victorious? The result is almost here, everybody!”

The 3 ran as fast as their feet could took them as they neared the finish line...

...

“The Clue to a Star... So that means I won’t rescue Kalmar yet?” Geno asked worried.

Do you want to save your data?

Yes

Overwrite File?

Yes

Chapter 113: The Clue to a Star

Beijing(?)
Inside the stadium

Unfounded Revenge / Smashing Song of Praise

"You guys've been a very pointy rock in Tabuu's shoes!" Porky yelled as he charged at the group with Petey. "It's about time I have the honor to take you out of 'em!"

"Then we'll continue to be a pointy rock," Marth said charging at the 2 villains with everyone. "Until we end the plans of Tabuu, that is."

"Hyuck!" Petey said angrily, showing his fangs.

"That's right!" Porky yelled calling Porky Bots out that ran at the group. "I hope you enjoy the last time you walk the earth, 'cuz I won't hesitate to exterminate you pesky bugs!"

"We'll exterminate you instead," Sonic said grabbing a Porky Bot that he threw back at Porky, who sliced it in 2 as it exploded. "Then I'll be the chance to be a hero again!"

"Sonic, just shut up with your cheesy lines...and don't let his words get to you either. Kupo." Chris said with a bored look as he used Moogle Lance to send 3 air slashes at Porky.

"Ooh, what do we have here? A tiny little rabbit?" Porky asked chuckling.

"That is it, you're not going to call me a rabbit anymore. Kupo!" Chris yelled annoyed as he flew towards Porky who prepared to slash him. However, Meta Knight appeared above the window and slashed it several times before Chris dove down and struck down his sword as both swordsmen jumped away and landed on the floor. "T-thank you, kupo."

"Same here." Meta Knight with a nod before he took Chris using Dimensional Cape to evade a Porky Bot's explosion.

Petey tried to slap Amy away but the pink hedgehog jumped at him and swung her hammer hard on his face. "Don't judge me just because I'm a girl."

"HYUCK!" Petey replied back by vomiting on her.

"...YUCK! EEEEHHHH!!!" Amy yelled disgusted at the muddy goo. "M-my shoes! Look at what you did to my shoe-"

"AMY!" Sonic yelled as he tackled Amy down from a headbutt of the pirahna as both hedgehogs tripped on the floor. "P-phew, I made it in time..."

"Oh, Sonic!" Amy squealed with glee. "Thank you for rescuing me as always an-....wait, how come you didn't take me much sooner?"

Sonic helped her to get up and looked down. "...Because my speed isn't the same as long as we stay inside the stadium."

"...Oh...right..." Amy made a worried look. "I forgot about that..."

"LOOK OUT!" Marth yelled as he stepped in front of the 2 and received a hard slap. "Ugh!"

"Nancy boy!" Sonic yelled.

Marth grunted a little as he shook his head. "Don't dare...to call me like that...again... Didn't we have a deal?"

"We did?" Sonic asked with a grin as Marth glared at him. "...Oh yeah, I remember."

"Will you 2 stop talking?" Knuckles asked as he backed away from a headbutt attack. "That plant is going to take advantage of your unnecessary arguments if you don't stop arguing!"

Sonic wiped something from his mouth with his thumb. "Fine. Bring it on, you...strip wearing plant!"

"I thought that was a white polka-dotted underwear." Amy said with a confused look.

"AHEM." Knuckles coughed.

"Oops."

"Here it comes!" Marth yelled as Petey tried to crush them by tripping, but they easily dodged that move and attacked the plant while he was laying down.

"Attack it with everything you got!" Amy yelled banging the plant as suddenly Petey spun and made a tornado that covered him and flung the 4 away from him while he got up and chuckled...then he did a weird dance with his hands.

"Tornadoes?" Knuckles asked.

"So if we stay attacking him for a long period of time if he were to drop down on us," Marth began. "He will use a tornado to push us away."

"But hence that we need to keep attacking him, correct?" Amy asked as she put a stronger grip on her hammer.

"Right."

"Hey!" Kirby yelled as he was shown wearing a blue hat. "Can I help you?"

"Where did you get that hat from?" Sonic asked as Kirby took out a bomb from behind his back and carried it above him.

"I ate that tasty robot that looked like a kid and I got this." Kirby explained as he tossed the bomb at Petey, who slapped it to the sky and exploded.

"Then it's going to be helpful." Marth said with a nod as Kirby smiled happily and decided to help the 4 against Petey Pirahna.

"Moogle Lance!" Chris yelled firing 3 air slashes that Porky slashed in half and went stomping after the Moogle World Traveler who shielded himself with his sword and was grabbed by Lucario who rolled to him and took him under his arm, evading Porky by several centimeters. "T-thank you, Lucario!"

"I could've been faster but...those pills..." Lucario trailed off.

"I forgot about them... But you can still fight, right?"

"Yes." Lucario said as his hands glowed with aura. "I still can do everything."

"Nah-ah-ah!" Porky said grabbed Lucario and Chris in separated claws from behind them before slamming both at the floor. "Don't get that overconfident!"

"D-dangit, kupo..." Chris moaned in pain as he slowly got up.

"He is now going to pay." Lucario said gritting his fangs as he quickly charged up an Aura Sphere and blasted it to Porky's window, creating a blue blast as Geno jumped high and fired his Geno Beam at full potency at the spider mech that quickly stomped away in time.

"Hold on!" DK yelled with a completely charged Giant Punch that he collided on the machine's back as Diddy jumped from his back and fired several peanuts at Porky before landing and rolling away from the claws that wanted to cross him.

"I hope you don't mind this!" Pit yelled as he slashed one claw 2 times with his dual blades before another claw pushed him away.

"It's not going to be that easy to get rid of me!" Porky yelled as he saw Meta Knight trying to aboard the Halberd. "Oh no, you won't!" Porky pressed a button and the hangar closed up, making Meta Knight curse under his breath as he glared at Porky.

"You imbecile," Meta Knight said darkly. "You're not going to escape with a battleship that is not yours."

"Sorry to remind you this bu-"

"SHOCKER!"

SHOCKER!

"AAAAHHHH!!!" Porky yelled as a heavy bolt of lightning fell on him and electrocuted his death body inside the mech as he backed away. "Y-you!"

Mallow grinned. "Like that?"

"Yes, but I'd have liked that if you were the one receiving THIS!" Porky yelled madly as he jumped high in the air and hovered along the air before shooting an electrocuting red bolt at Mallow who screamed in pain before being stomped by the spider mech as the cloud prince landed several meters away, moaning in pain. "DUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Wheeeeeeeeeeee!" Diddy came from the air and crashed his jet pack on Porky with an explosion as the chimpanzee followed up by throwing banana peels to the floor and taunted Porky to get him.

Porky looked down and laughed. "I'm not that stupid and fall for the oldest trick on the book!"

"I have ice cream here."

"GIMME!" Porky demanded as he went after Diddy but then tripped above the 2 banana peels and fell down on his back. "DAMMIT! DON'T TRICK ME!"

Meta Knight appeared above him using Dimensional Cape and stood on the window. "Prepare." Meta Knight simply said as he started and furious frenzy of slashes on Porky who tried to shook him off but failed.

"FIRE MISSILES AT WILL!" Porky yelled, firing missiles from the sides of the machine as Meta Knight looked them about to crash into him and flew above. Porky didn't think that the missiles were so slow and exploded right on him. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

"His idiocy will only make him fall." Meta Knight commented as he looked down on Porky.

"I can still fight, you know!" Porky yelled as he used his claws to jump above and stand up. "Now where is that blue mutated dog?"

"Right here." Lucario said appearing above Porky with Extremespeed before he started to punch down the window several times with Force Palm, creating very small cracks on it as Porky panicked.

"Y-you guys won't stop to try and break this thing down, huh?!" Porky asked angrily as he rolled by the side while Lucario jumped in time to evade the claws. "Guess I'll have to go crazy!" Porky yelled before calling out 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Porky Bots from his back that ran across the field madly (and stupidly) toward the Smashers.

"There are too many of them!" Twink yelled from above. "You'll have to evade them or els-"

"AAAHHHH!!!" Chris was attacked by an explosion from a kamikaze of the robots as he went to another and exploded as the Moogle Knight fell on the floor in a weak state. "I... I won't fall...kupo..."

"GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" Lucario grunted in fury as he used Extremespeed and banged the machine several times with Force Palm, then following them up with a fully charged Aura Sphere that exploded and made Porky back away.

"Chris!" Professor Kawashima yelled from his pocket. "You have an ability that lets you recover without getting tired! Use it!"

"R-right...kupo..." Chris closed his eyes and put his sword in front of him in an horizontal line as he concentrated. "Moogle Aid!" Chris yelled as his body was covered in a shiny green light that recovered his wounds by a half. "Phew... I'm feeling fine now. Kupo."

"What a relief." Lucario said sighing in relief.

"Ayayayaaa!" Pit used Angel Ring and continuously slashed Porky's mech from behind and backed away in time for 2 missiles that exploded right in front of him. "I think we can defeat them without having to lose someone in battle!"

"You don't know how much I want that... Kupo..." Chris commented.

"UAH!" Knuckles was slammed to the floor by Petey's headbutt as the plant backed away and crushed him with a stomp. "AAAHHHHHH!!!"

"Leave him alone!" Amy yelled as she jumped and spun her hammer in the air to create a tornado that went after the pirahna who create another tornado and collided with the first one, cancelling each other in the process. "Oh, come on!"

"Amy!" Sonic yelled.

"What?" Amy asked as Petey grabbed her and ate her. "SAVE ME!"

"Hang in there!" Sonic yelled as he ran (as fast as he could) to the pirahna who pulled back his head and spat Amy out after he  moved in back at Sonic, which made both hedgehogs collide with each other. "Oof!"

"S-sorry..." Amy apologized.

"J-just get off my back...please..." Sonic said with a weak look.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Bomb Kirby tosed 3 bombs at Petey's back as they each collided, making Petey growl furiously as he jumped high in the air and went after Bomb Kirby. The bomb wielder made an angry expression and tossed 2 bombs at the plant who got shocked and was pushed to the ground with the explosions.

"Now!" Marth yelled as he used Dolphin Slash to consecutively deal multiple hits, followed by a fast slam by Amy's hammer and Sonic's Homing Attack on the head and a downward punch by Knuckles, right on the stomach as the 4 backed away from the plant who spun and got up...dancing.

"Why is that monster dancing?" Knuckles asked confused.

"It's because he acts like that all the time!" Bomb Kirby yelled as he blinked confused. "...H-how come I know about him? I-I never met him before!"

"Hey! Watch out!"

"Hu-" Bomb Kirby was eaten whole by Petey who laughed and chomped down the puffball before spitting him out to the floor with a quick shot. "O-oww..."

"You know what," Amy said pouting. "I have a better idea."

"And what would that be?" Marth asked as Amy simply put a stronger grip on her hammer and tossed it fastly at Petey's head and impacted into the plant, who almost lost his balance and slapped his head to remain conscious.

"Who told you I only had one?" Amy asked as she made another hammer appear on her right hand and tossed it again at Petey, who yelled and was pushed to the floor again as he tried to get up.

"W-what the..." Marth stared at Amy.

Amy looked at Marth. "What? I have a special power with hammers."

"I-I see."

"And stop staring at me!" Amy pointed at Petey. "We have a monster to kill!"

"CHIIIIIAA!!" Knuckles jumped towards Petey and slammed his right fist on his stomach making Petey growl furiously as he spun and pushed the echidna away.

"See?!" Amy asked angrily as she yelled and rushed after Petey.

"Geez, women are scary..." Marth said rubbing his head before he followed Amy.

"Hey, Chris!" Professor Kawashima called out. "You should try and look for Combinated Final Smashes with the others here!"

"Who? Kupo?" Chris asked.

"Hmm... Oh!" Kawashima got something. "The Juggler job must be compatible with Diddy!"

"...O-okay, kupo." Chris said nodding as he changed to his Juggler job, and he smiled. "I think it's the perfect time to do a show here. Kupo!"

Diddy walked up to him. "Oh yes! You're in that costume again!"

"Well, of course!" Chris said cheerfully as he balanced a dagger above his index finger. "And I have to tell you something important, kupo."

Diddy tilted his head. "What?"

"The show is about to start very shortly!" Chris said chuckling. "And I need you, Diddy! Kupo!"

"R-really?" Diddy asked excited.

"But of course, you could be considered a proficient acrobat in my eyes," Chris chuckled. "Have you tried passing daggers, for example?"

"...No..."

"Good!" Chris smiled. "That should be good enough to start you on that! Kupo!"

"A hand wouldn't be so bad right now!" Geno yelled as he was tossed away above them.

"Right, right," Chris said nodding. "This performance could be dangerous though... Are you ready for it? Kupo?"

Diddy thought for a moment before nodding.

"That's excellent! Kupo!"

But suddenly, both felt a strange feeling and looked around.

"(...Diddy...are you there? Kupo?)" Chris asked.

"(Yes...but what happened?)" Diddy asked.

"(This proves that we can really DO our Combinated Final Smash together. Kupo.)"

"(Soooooo, it's like some kind of sense that tells you when and how?)"

Chris shrugged. "(...I guess so...)"

"(...Sweet! Let's do it!)"

"I couldn't agree more than that, kupo." Chris said with a smirk.

"Why do I think you're going to annoy Porky?" Pit asked rolling his eyes as he found the 2 staring at each other.

"Away with you!" Porky yelled as he grabbed Lucario with 2 claws and slammed him on the floor.

"Ugh!" Lucario grunted in pain as he rolled away and stood up.

"You're not going to inflict more damage! Kupo!" Chris said stepping in front of Lucario with Diddy.

"Chris?"

Chris looked at Lucario over his shoulder and smiled. "Everything is fine. Don't worry."

"...I suppose..." Lucario said worried.

"Now," Chris looked at Porky. "Do you like the circus?"

"Ooh, ooh!" Porky hopped childishly. "I like the circus! It's like the carnival!"

"Good!" Chris said as he ran at one side while Diddy ran to the opposite side. The Moogle took out 4 daggers, 2 on each hand as he laughed for a bit. "Because we're going to give you one!"

"Yes!"

"Hahahahaha! Diddy!" Chris laughed.

"Let's start the show?" Diddy asked excited.

"You're absolutely right, hahahahahahaha!"

"...Talk about utterly happy..." Pit commented.

"And so, the show begins!" Chris said closing his eyes with Diddy while Porky (stupidly) stood between the 2 before Chris tossed 2 daggers at Diddy, who catched one on his right hand and one with his tail.

"So now what?" Diddy asked.

"Start!"

Both jugglers started to toss their daggers at each other (and through Porky's spider mech) and throwing them back in perfect synchronization before the daggers turned blue and slashed the mech several times as both laughed, spun to throw them back faster with every second until they were practically spinning and throwing their daggers back forth, dealing moderate damage to the mech.

"Dagger-to-Dagger!" both jugglers yelled as they threw the daggers one last time and a last slash made the mech fall down.

New ability learned! Dagger-to-Dagger!

Execute this move with 2 jugglers and throws 4 daggers at one enemy continuously and towards each juggler. Deals moderate damage

"Ugh!" Porky's claws fell down as he tried to get up. "I-I should've know that was a dirty trick...like yourselves!"

"Heheheh," Chris chuckled mischievously. "I admit that was entertaining while it lasted, don't you agree? Diddy?"

"Uh-huh." Diddy said nodding.

"Y-you..." Porky struggled to get up and managed to do mentioned action. "I can handle you all by myself...that's a fa-"

"Geno Whirl!" Geno threw his glowing ring at blinding speed, but it didn't do an exaggerated damage as Geno wanted it to be. "So it's no use against him."

"THAT ONLY MADE ME FURIOUS!" Porky yelled as he joined 2 claws together and shot a fast red lightning at everyone who got electrocuted until it stopped 5 seconds later.

"B-but still..." Chris shook his head. "The show needs to continue! Kupo!"

"Oh no," Porky chuckled. "The show needs to end now!"

"Your show, that is. Kupo." Chris said rolling his eyes, getting on Porky's nerves.

"I guess I should better get rid of you first," Porky said as he took out 4 laser beams, making Chris's eyes wide. "Surprised? This baby was enhanced with all kinds of enhancements for this occasion!"

"Use as many jobs as you want, Chris!" Professor Kawashima called out. "The more experience you get during battle, the better! Why don't you try the Scholar job and try to learn Item Lore?"

"...Okay, kupo." Chris said changing to his Scholar job as he turned back to a human and adjusted his glasses. "Shall I study the enemy's weaknesses?"

"Study this!" Porky yelled, firing 4 red beams that exploded on the ground close to the World Traveler who was pushed away and fell to the floor.

"My..." Chris moaned in pain. "You sure are ruthless towards anybody..."

"Here." Lucario helped Chris to get up.

"Thank you," Chris said with a nod. "Now please try to shield me from that pig."

"I'M NOT A PIG!" Porky yelled as he stomped the floor furiously and rushed towards the duo.

"Not so fast." Meta Knight said slicing one of the 6 claws down.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Porky yelled dramatically. "My precious Roberto! He was one hard claw!"

"...Excuse me? Roberto?" DK asked confused.

Porky sniffed. "M-my claws are very precious to me. They help me to get around and 'round and do whatever I want them to do... YOU'RE GONNA PAY!"

"Make me." Meta Knight taunted.

"GRRRR!!!" Porky stretched every single claw out and fired electricity around as they damaged every Smasher greatly.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Diddy yelled.

"DIDDY! ARE YOU OKAY?!" DK asked worried.

"I-I'm fine! T-the attack is just s-AAAHHH!!!"

"DIDDY!" DK struggled to move in the electricity as he slowly walked to Porky.

"Try to attack me, ape!" Porky yelled. "I'll continue to discharge all this electricity until everyone here is down!"

"U-ugh..." DK panted. "I... I won't let you hurt...Diddy..."

An egg seemed to be thrown at Porky who gasped and backed away from the egg, thus stopping his attack on everyone as he saw Yoshi tossing a Yoshi egg up and down his right hand.

"What's the matter?" Yoshi asked with a glare. "Didn't you say you were going to continue? Don't mind my eggs."

"Eww..." Mallow commented.

"Not like that!" Yoshi said annoyed.

"Where were you, anyway?" Twink asked.

Yoshi blushed and stopped tossing the egg. "I... I went to the locker room and changed my shoes," Yoshi pointed down at his blue shoes. "They look good, right?"

"...You went to your locker room during this crisis...just to change your shoes..." Chris trailed off as he adjusted his glasses.

"T-these are for running." Yoshi responded.

"...Quite interesting." Chris said nodding as Diddy facepalmed with a frown.

"Okay," Tails began as he pulled some cables from a bomb. "This cable should be here and this one over there..."

"Hello, mate!" Marine said to one R.O.B.. "Why are yah here? Mate?"

"..." th R.O.B. didn't talk back.

"Hey, honza!" Marine knocked its head a little. "I'm askin' yah a question! Be a gentleman and answer me, mate!"

"..."

"Huh?" Tails looked at the R.O.B.. "Weird, I didn't notice that robot attached to the bomb...wait, why is it attached to the bomb in the first place?"

"How should I know? Matey?" Marine asked. "He just happened to be stuck."

"Stuck? Can't it deattach itself?"

"Hmm... Honza! Can't you get out?" Marine asked and the R.O.B. shook its head in shame. "...Are you feelin' sad? Matey?"

"It's...stupid..." Tails said as he continued to deactivate the bomb. "Robots don't have any kind of emotions so it's useless to make them understand, unless somebody programs them correctly...but that's just me."

Marine made a worried look. "Somehow...I feel that they do have emotions, mate..."

"Marine, stop saying suchs things and help me here!" Tails yelled as Marine shook her head and ducked to help the 2-tailed fox.

In another side, there was Cream and Cheese watching Espio and Charmy trying to deactivate a bomb by doing the same actions as Tails.

Cream and Cheese looked at the robots and walked to them. "Mr. Robots," Cream began. "Why are your hands inside the bomb?" she said but didn't get a respond. "...Are you...stuck in there?"

"Not that one, Charmy!" Espio yelled as Charmy sweated and grabbed another cable inside the bomb. "Cream, what are you doing?"

"Um..." Cream looked at the R.O.B.. "Mr. Robot can't get away from the bomb because his hands are stuck in it."

"Hmm..." Espio walked to the robot and tried to pull it away, but it seemed that the R.O.B. was completely stuck and couldn't move. "It's no use. The robot itself could be part of the bomb as well if my thoughts are correct."

"W-wait..." Cream looked at the R.O.B. worried. "D-does that mean if the bomb is deactivated...the Mr. Robots are going to..."

Espio looked at the R.O.B.s and looked down. "...I know you befriend someone very fast but...that seems to be the case..."

"...No..." Cream muttered as she hugged Cheese tightlier. "They can't..."

"I think I found something in here!" Charmy yelled as the countdown stopped. The bee came out from the bomb and made a fist in the air after the countdown was stopped. "Yeah! I did it!"

"...Mr. Robot?" Cream asked worried as she tapped its head a little, but the head slowly looked down until the young rabbit looked at its eyes, that were closed...forever. "..."

"C'mon! We have to deactivate the next one!" Charmy said as he flew away to another bomb. Espio looked back at Cream.

"...Sorry, Cream...but it had to be done..." Espio said with a frown as he followed Charmy.

"...But...why?" Cream questioned. "Why do they need to..."

"Chao..." Cheese trailed off worried.

"Marvelous!!!" Dr. Eggman exlaimed as he pulled some cables.

"No investigations." Shadow said as he leaned to a robot with crossed arms.

"...I hate you," Dr. Eggman said as he deactivated the bomb. "There."

Shadow looked at the countdown and nodded. "It seems that wasn't that hard to you, doctor."

"It was hard to be exact," Dr. Eggman said as he got out from below the bomb. "I just happened to figure out how it worked."

"...I hope that gets forgotten later on."

"Wait," Dr. Eggman looked at the R.O.B.s. "Something that caught my attention was these robots..."

"They're just robots. Now go to the next bomb before we get killed."

"Fine, fine, grumpy hedgehog." Dr. Eggman said grumbling as both went to the next bomb.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!" Vector yelled as he constantly banged a bomb. "This thing won't stop with the annoying beeping of the countdown!"

"Aaaaaaaand there." Peach said simply as she got out from the bomb and stopped the countdown.

"...How the heck did you do that?" Vector asked.

Peach giggled. "I studied a little bit of heavy machinery a while ago and I wanted to see if I could put it into test with the bomb."

Vector gave a shocked look at the princess. "And what book are we talking about again?"

"It's a secret of the Mushroom Kingdom's Royal Library." Peach said as she walked away.

"...My god, she's unreal!" Vector said surprised as he followed the princess.

"Say, Mario," Luigi began as he played with his fingers while Mario was trying to deactivate the bomb. "Do you know how to make this bomb stop?"

"Yes," Mario responded. "Tippi taught me how to deactivate one when she was with us. It was weird because she knew how to do it and never did it once before."

"M-maybe because she has a special ability to give out important information?" Luigi wondered as the countdown stopped and the red plumber came out. "Done?"

"Yes." Mario said as he ran to the next bomb.

"...A-are you going to be fine without me once I leave?" Luigi asked as he followed Mario.

"Totally," Mario chuckled as they arrived to the next bomb. "You can take of yourself alone very good like me."

"Y-yes..." Luigi said looking away.

"...And would you help me here?"

"R-right! Sorry!" Luigi said quickly as he joined his brother.

"HYUCK!" Petey vomited on the floor around him.

"Why does he do that again? It's gross!" Amy said disgusted.

"Who cares?" Sonic asked with a grin as he ran at Petey...but slipped on the vomit and was crushed by a headbutt on him. "...I think I know...why now...ouch..." Sonic said from under Petey's head.

"You leave my dear Sonic alone!" Amy yelled as she lunged at Petey and slammer her hammed on the back of his head...which crushed Sonic even more by accident as he yelled in pain. "O-oh no! What did I do?!"

"You crushed him! You bastard!" Mallow said gasping.

"H-hey!"

"But it's the truth!"

"Mallow," Marth began. "What are you doing here?"

"Geno told me to help you guys with this one."

"Oh."

"HIYAH!" Knuckles uppercutted Petey from the ground where the echidna appeared, setting Sonic free as the hedgehog rolled back and stopped. "Hey there! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks for the help back there!" Sonic yelled before he was slapped by Petey and pushed away.

"If only Sonic could use his real speed..." Marth wondered as Bomb Kirby took out a bomb.

"How I miss calling Poppy here," Bomb Kirby said before he tossed the bomb inside Petey's mouth. "He was very helpful with the bombs."

"But didn't Crazy Hand have a ability that lets you call your friends back?"

"...That's right!" Bomb Kirby said. "I need to ask Chris and convince him to get that ability!... But I should warn you something first."

"What?"

"Many of my friends like to say puns according to their abilities, so please don't get annoyed by them."

"...As long as they help..."

"PETEY!" Bomb Kirby yelled as he threw a bomb at Petey's head, making the pirahna grunt in rage as he slapped the air hardly and created a tornado that went after them as it quickly pulled the puffball and the Altean prince to the air and crashed on the floor. "O-ouch... Oww..."

Marth got up and glared at Petey. "I hate so much when enemies like him pull off some kind of unexpected and not related move out of the blue."

"But you can't help it," Sonic commented nodding with crossed arms. "They like to do this a lot of times when you most unexpect it."

Mallow chuckled. "Yeah, for example, he's starting to glow."

"Glow?" Marth asked confused as he saw Petey, who was glowing with a rainbow aura. "...Oh no! Petey can use a Final Smash as well?"

"What?!" Sonic asked in shock.

"He's just glowing," Knuckles said grinning. "Just ignore that little detail and leave it to me."

"You don't understand," Bomb Kirby said. "That glow means that he can use his ultimate attack on us!"

"...Ultimate what?"

"LOOK!" Amy yelled as Petey chuckled and put his right hand in front of him and the other hand behind him before he slowly spun and increased over time. The 6 watched as 6 huge tornados spun around the pirahna and quickly went after them.

"OH MY GOD! RUN!" Mallow yelled as the 6 turned their backs and tried to run away from the whirlwinds that quickly caught up with them and sliced them inside many times before sending them to crash into the ground. "...My...everything..."

[DededeCloneChris]

And probably you want to know the name of the attack so...

Rude Whirlwinds

Creates as many tornadoes depending the number of foes and chases after them to bring them inside and slash them. Deals a moderate amount of damage

"...That attack was...strong..." Knuckles moaned in pain, trying to get up.

"If only I could obtain my normal speed back..." Sonic muttered as he panted.

"This plant..." Amy got up and put a strong grip on her hammer. "...Needs to be seriously burned..."

"Over Limit gauge ready!" Kawashima said.

"Ooh, me me! It's my turn!" DK said excited.

"Hmm..." Chris thought for a moment and adjusted his glasses. "...It should help so...go ahead."

"Yes!" DK said before grinning at Porky, who looked at him.

"What do you want now? Ape?" Porky asked.

"BANANAAAA-"

A record scratched and Chris made a shocked look. "W-wait, no. Donkey Kong cannot be serious!... T-then that means that TV show was...canon?!"

"SLAMAAAAA!!!" DK pounded his fists on his chest as a rainbow aura covered him with an explosion of force that pushed Porky's spider mech back.

"AAHH!!! IT SHINES! IT BUUUURNS!" Porky yelled.

DK merely blinked. "...It doesn't shine that brightly..."

"AHEM." Chris called out.

"Oh, right! Diddy! Come over here!"

"Yes?" Diddy asked.

"I need you to clap along with me!"

Diddy made a happy expression. "So we can be ready for our next hit in the city?"

DK took out his bongos and performed his theme alongside Diddy. The kong clapped in perfect sychronization and sent big sound shockwaves in the air that consecutively damaged the spider mech that backed away with every shockwave.

"Where is the rest of the music coming from?" Blaze asked from the bench as she looked around.

"I do not know..." Chris shuddered. "I suppose it follows Donkey Kong anywhere..."

CLAP!

"AYEEEEEEEEEEH!!!" Porky yelled in pain as DK's bongos vanished in thin air, along with the aura as both kongs cheered.

"Yeeeaaah..." DK said flexing his arms while Diddy clapped behind him.

"...I'm happy I don't have such ridiculous Final Smash..." Lucario muttered.

Chris chuckled and rubbed his Pokémon's head with care. "Yours has a stronger degree of potency. I am glad for that."

"Guuooorrgghh..." Lucario growled happily.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" Porky grunted in rage. "I hate when you pull out that annoying Final Smash!"

"...But it is the first time Donkey Kong has ever used his." Chris pointed out.

"I don't care for the ape whatsoever!" Porky yelled angrily. "I care about the graves that you all are going to be!"

"Did you at least buy them?"

"...No..."

"...Figures..." Chris said with a bored look.

"...Oh, you shut up!" Porky yelled as he stomped the floor furiously and charged at Chris, who quickly stopped rubbing Lucario's head and flipped through his pages to search for a spell.

"Burn... Fire!" Chris casted Fire on Porky who stopped and yelled. Lucario took advantage of this and jumped high to descend and slam his Force Palm on the old brat as the Aura Pokémon jumped away, back to Chris. "That was absolutely flawless."

"Hmm." Lucario made a happy expression and wagged his tail.

"Hahahaha," Chris chuckled and folded his arms behind his back. "I love when your tail expresses more emotions than yourself."

Lucario blushed embarrassed and grabbed his tail to stop it. "P-please... Don't say that again..."

"...Professor?"

"Yes?" Kawashima asked.

"How much until I learn Item Lore?"

"...Hahahaha, you need to hit Porky with another spell and it shall be yours to use."

"Thank you," Chris said with a nod as his hand glowed while he chanted a spell. "Rise, o violent winds!... Aero!"

"AAHH!!" Porky yelled after a circle of winds sliced him a little.

"There! You've learned Item Lore!" Kawashima said.

Chris took out a Pokeball and flipped through his pages while Lucario stood in front of him to offer protection. "Hmm... Let's see... O forbidden magic, cast thy blessing on this device... Item Lore!" a bright light shone on the Pokeball before it faded. "...Hmm... I feel some sort of change..."

"Throw it." Lucario said.

"Will do." Chris said as he tossed the Pokeball...

...And Jirachi came out happily.

"Aww!" Chris squealed with glee. "It is Jirachi! Look how cute he is!"

Lucario made a bored look. "...This is not the time to love another Pokémon..."

"Jirachi!" Jirachi exclaimed happily as he went to Chris. "Jirachi!"

"...What is that? You are going to grant me a wish?" Chris asked and Jirachi nodded. "Yes!" Chris closed his eyes. "For my first wish I wan-"

"...Chris..."

"...He escaped, did not he..."

"...Yes...but Jirachi left something on your hands..."

Chris opened his eyes and saw 5 different stickers on his hands: one with Squirtle, another one with Toad and Toadette, another one with Fox's old (and cubic) look from the N64, another one with Meta Knight with a long flaming sword and cape...

...And the most rarest of them all...

...A Bidoof sticker...

Lucario chuckled at the Bidoof sticker.

"...What the heck?!" Chris called out angrily as Diddy crossed the air above them. "There is not any Bidoof sticker in the whole Sticker Album! That Jirachi tricked me!"

Lucario chuckled even more. "But see the bright side; you have a rare sticker that can't be found anywhere else."

"...I already looked it on the book and it DOES NOT exist at all!" Chris said flipping the pages. "Do you think I care about such meaningless sticker like this cursed Bidoof?!"

"...If you want, you can put it on your book of magic."

"..." Chris sighed disappointed...and for some reason, he listened to Lucario and sticked the sticker on the cover of the book. "...I am doing this because I wanted some decoration on the cover, only that."

Lucario chuckled. "Yes."

"Will you stop that?"

"S-sorry..." Lucario said looking down.

"A-anyway," Chris closed his eyes annoyed. "I want to learn how to use my aura properly so..." the World Traveler changed to his Aura Apprentice job and smiled a little at Lucario. "Will you please teach me? Master?"

"...M-master?" Lucario asked blushing.

"W-well..." Chris looked down embarrassed. "You're technically a master of the aura and it makes sense to call you my master..."

"...So you can call me master but I can't call you master..."

Chris looked angrily at him. "But that's because I'm not a master in teaching things that you don't know about! I even don't know about many things!"

"...Fine." Lucario said rolling his eyes.

"Hey, Geno!" Pit called. "What are Chris and Lucario doing?"

"They are losing time and letting us get killed by Porky!" Geno yelled as both aura users shook their heads and looked back at the fight.

"...Oops..." Chris said embarrassed.

"...We should return back to the fight." Lucario said and Chris nodded.

"R-right..." Chris looked at Lucario. "Can you tell me what do I have to do?"

"Certainly," Lucario nodded. "You must channel your aura with all your body parts in order to increase the damage."

"Hmm..." Chris concentrated and his hands began to emanate with his aura. "I think I can channel them just fine."

"Remember," Lucario began. "Follow my example if you want to do it."

"I'll listen to whatever you want to teach me." Chris said as Lucario's tail wagged a little.

"E-er..." Lucario stopped his tail by grabbing it.

Chris chuckled heartily. "I love that tail a little bit too much."

"S-stop. Please..."

"Geno Beam!" Geno yelled as he fired his blue beam at Porky who shielded himself with his claws and slammed them down at the puppet who twitched in pain.

"You're the puppet that wants to rescue the last Star Spirit, aren't you?"

"Y-yes..." Geno muttered under the claws.

"Oooooooohhh..." Porky nodded. "Tabuu has been very mad because of you."

"I-I don't care..." Geno muttered.

"That's bad," Porky said, lifting up his claws. "Because that only makes him furious at us, and I hate that so much as well!"

Geno managed to stand up with the help of his right hand and glared at Porky. "T-tell me...where is Kalmar?"

Porky laughed. "Like I'm going to tell you of all people!" Porky said. "I better get rid of you befo-"

"GUUUUUUAAAAAARRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!" Lucario interrupted by leaping at Porky to slam down his Force Palm on the window. "NOW!"

"YAAAAAAAH!!!" Chris yelled as he (somehow) was able to mimic Lucario and slammed down his Force Palm, close to his Pokémon as they jumped back to the floor at the same time from the spider mech. "H-how did I do it?"

"Very well." Lucario said.

"Y-you!" Porky grunted.

"You don't know how much do we hear that everyday." Geno said rolling his eyes.

"It's always about killing us, defeating us, murder us and pretty much everything." Pit said with a frown.

"And that irritates me." Meta Knight said appearing, using Dimension Cape.

"Did you go anywhere?" DK asked.

"I went to see the people trapped in the force fields after I tried to enter the Halberd by the air...but there was force field that prevented me from going inside."

"Hahahahahaha!" Porky laughed. "That was the only force field I put up!"

"It still brings the question about who is the real culprit." Diddy said.

"The sponsor?" DK asked.

The Smashers shook their heads...

...As an egg collided on Porky.

"Oh, c'mon!" Porky said annoyed to Yoshi, who was standing several feet away. "Won't you come here so I can kill you?"

"I rather be alive!" Yoshi yelled.

Chris made a worried look. "...Why do I think Yoshi is..."

Yoshi looked down. "I... I don't want to..."

"(Why isn't he helping us instead of attacking from afar?)"

"...I dunno what the heck do you want to say," Porky said. "But who really cares? We all know the outcome of this battle!"

"And very well." Pit said nodding.

"...Ugh! I've had it with you!" Porky yelled angrily as he deployed 10 Porky Bots that went after them.

"Chris," Lucario began. "If you use Force Palm at the right moment, you will grab them to push them back."

"Force Palm can do that?" Chris asked surprised.

"...It doesn't...but being here gives it a different effect rather than landing it directly," Lucario shook his head. "Once one of those robots get close to you, quickly use Force Palm and push it away with your aura."

"...I think I understa-"

"NOW!"

"YAH!" Chris yelled in panic as both aura users grabbed 2 Porky Bots with Force Palm, and pushed them away to Porky with a small but strong blast of aura that made them exploded right on the spider mech successfully. "...The aura is..."

Lucario nodded with a chuckle. "Ours."

"...You know..." Chris smiled a little. "We should do a victory pose together with those words."

Lucario closed his eyes. "The aura..."

"...Is ours..." Chris added.

"...Yes..." Lucario smiled a bit. "It does sound good..."

"And besides it's true."

"WOULD YOU 2 STOP TALKING AND HELP US OUT?!" Geno yelled from behind the duo who blinked in shock and nodded.

"Tails!" Sonic yelled as he evaded a slap by rolling backwards. "How's everything over there?"

"It's good!" Tails yelled from a bomb. "At this rate it's possible to deactivate all of them in time!"

"Great going!" Sonic yelled with a grin before Petey slapped him away.

"But you be careful too!"

"I-I'm doing that!" Sonic yelled back.

Petey went after Marth who narrowed his eyes and remained in his position with his right hand on Falchion's grip. "HYUCK!" Petey yelled as he pulled back his head to slam it down at the Altean.

"MARTH!" Bomb Kirby yelled as Petey slammed down his head on Marth...

...But...

"(Not understandable foreign laguage)" Marth replied using a strong Counter that pushed Petey back to follow it up with Dolphin Slash, then he quickly used a small charged Shield Breaker and thrusted Falchion at Petey's stomach, which made the plant roar in pain.

"Please..." Chris prayed as he joined his hands. "Help me, Skolar!"

"Did you call me?" Skolar asked as he appeared in front of the World Traveler

"I want you to do some damage to both of my enemies, but quick!"

"Certainly," Skolar turned at the villains. "You 2 should have more respect for this people!"

Stars came from above the sky and crashed down into both villains who yelled in pain after every star impacted on them.

"There," Skolar looked at Chris. "Call me when you need me."

"Uh-huh." Chris said nodding as Skolar spun and vanished in thin air.

"Look!" Sonic pointed at Petey who was apparently dizzied after the stars fell on him. "He's dizzy!"

"Take this chance to attack!" Knuckles yelled as he smacked his fists together and rushed towards Petey to land a 3-hit combo, followed by an uppercut that made the plant back away in pain.

"He's mine!" Amy yelled as she ran behind Petey and made an upward hit to Petey's head, followed by jump with a spinning hammer as the pirahna roared and fell face-first on the floor.

"Snowy!" Mallow called out the blizzard from the sky that covered the plant completely and was crushed by a huge snowman that blinked before exploding into more snow, causing even more damage.

"Hyu!" Petey said with a smile as he spun to get back up, slapped his face several times before dancing.

"What the heck is he doing with that weird dance?" Knuckles asked.

"I-I don't want to know." Bomb Kirby shuddered as he took out a bomb and tossed it at Petey's head.

"Please..." Chris prayed. "Help me, Klevar!"

"Ah, it is about time for me to help." Klevar said with a chuckle as he appeared in front of Chris.

"I need your help this time."

"Very well, then," Klevar looked at the villains. "The clocks of time will define your flow of time."

"What? I hate when smarties like you make up those hard to understan-" Porky stopped once he saw several clocks appearing all around the field as they suddenly stopped. "..." Porky was stunned by the move and couldn't move with Petey.

"Great," Geno said. "You're using the Star Spirits more than you did before."

Chris blushed. "I-I should've used them more when I had the chance."

"Attack while he is immobile! Now!" Pit yelled as he ran at Porky and used Angel Ring to deal consecutive slashes.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!!" DK yelled as he ran close to Porky and used Hand Slap to continuously pound the floor, creating trembles that damaged the spider mech.

"Hmm..." Diddy ducked and put 2 banana peels under 2 different claws.

"GUUUUUAAARRGGGHH!!!" Lucario threw a fully charged Aura Sphere at full force that made an explosion on Porky.

"...I want to do that..." Chris muttered as he concentrated his aura between his hands as it began to form a small sphere...but it later exploded and made him fall down. "Aah!"

"Chris!" Lucario kneeled to see his trainer. "Are you feeling fine?"

"I-I think so..." Chris said as his Pokémon helped him to get up. "But you think I don't have enough experience to use Aura Sphere?"

Lucario shook his head. "That seems to be the case."

"...I see..."

"But don't worry," Lucario smiled a little. "I know you will learn it very soon if you keep trying."

"Thanks." Chris said with a nod.

"SHIE!" Sonic yelled as he used Homing Attack on Petey's immobile stomach, combining it with Spin Dash right above it to cut the plant several times as the hedgehog jumped away from 2 bombs that Bomb Kirby threw. "Where'd you get those bombs from?"

Bomb Kirby made a serious face. "I like to keep my own attacks a secret."

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah, I heard you."

"They're returning back to normal." Marth said as the time began to pass like before to both villains who grunted in pain.

"Status ailments, huh?" Porky asked with a chuckle. "How convenient. I happen to have a new function which is THIS!" Porky tried to walk towards Meta Knight but he tripped by Diddy's banana peels under the claws. "DAMMIT! LAUNCH PORKY BOTS!" Porky yelled as he called 4 Porky Bots.

However, those Porky Bots seemed to be different once one exploded into Pit, who covered his face with his blades as he coughed...then stopped.

"!!" Pit tried to yell but something seemed to silence him from doing so. "!!! !!!"

"What?" Diddy asked. "I can't hear you!"

"!!! !!! !!!" Pit yelled silently (literally).

"Pit was silenced?" DK asked.

"Yep, that's right!" Porky said proudly. "If the other 3 Porky Bots manage to explode on you, you're going to be silence and unable to use special attacks!"

"CHRIS!" Lucario yelled as he pushed Chris out of the way from one of the Porky Bots who tripped towards Lucario and exploded.

"LUCARIO!" Chris yelled worried as he got up and found Lucario coughing for a bit before he was unable to speak.

"!!!" Lucario tried to talk but couldn't do it.

"Oh no, you can't use your abilities?"

Lucario tried to make an Aura Sphere but his aura didn't react to his orders as he looked down.

"Duahahahahaha!" Porky laughed. "You're helpless without your abilities, aren't you? Hahahahahaha!"

Lucario showed his fangs in fury but he couldn't grunt as long as he was silenced.

"Yes, yes! Keep trying to no avail! That effect will last for some time, enough time to make me kill you!"

"Hmph." Meta Knight used Dimensional Cape to teleport away from a Porky Bot who exploded before he quickly turned his back and slashed down the last one.

"Oh well," Porky said. "With 2 who can't use their abilities is enough."

"Please..." Chris prayed. "Help me, Eldstar!"

"You don't have to tell me what to do." Eldstar said with a chuckle as he appeared in front of Lucario and healed him from his wounds a little, but also healed him from his illness.

"Ugh..." Lucario shook his head. "I can...speak again. Thank you."

"If you want," Eldstar looked at Chris. "I can heal the angel as well. You have 2 star bars left."

"Please do!" Chris said as Eldstar nodded and went towards Pit. However, Porky stepped on his way and the Star Spirit gasped.

"Leave Eldstar alone!" Twink demanded angrily.

"Geno Beam!" Geno fired his beam at full potency as Porky backed away from the force, making a path to Eldstar who went to Pit, healed him a bit and cured his illness.

"My task here is done," Eldstar said. "Please, call us when you have to."

"I'll do it." Chris said as Eldstar vanished.

"Damn you all!" Porky yelled angrily. "You're not gonna do the same thing after I do this!"

"Shut up," Meta Knight said simply as he used Drill Rush behind the spider mech to try and break the backside, but Porky was able to slash the Star Warrior with an odd-looking claw that made Meta Knight grunt in pain. "U-ugh... Wait...this feeling..."

"Correct!" Porky said. "You've been poisoned by my claws of poison!" Porky lifted up 3 claws that were glowing in a purple air. "These beauties ain't stopping from giving one hell of a hard time to you all!"

Meta Knight twitched in pain. "This pain...is...horrible..."

"Not only poisoning an enemy can make continuous damage," Porky began. "But it also can make them weaker when attacking!"

"U-ugh..."

"Eldstar!" Chris quickly called Eldstar who went to Meta Knight and healed him from his wounds and illness. "I'm sorry. All the star power was depleted completely."

"Then we'll be careful with that guy." Geno said.

"HYUCK!" Petey vomited on Bomb Kirby who gasped as was covered in muddy goo.

"...?!" Bomb Kirby tried to speak but was unable to. "!!!"

"What?" Marth asked. "That monster can inflict illnesses too?"

Petey merely nodded with a wicked smile as he pulled back his head and rolled it all the way to Marth who was pushed away to the floor and got up as he wiped some blood from his mouth.

"KIRBY!" Amy yelled as Bomb Kirby looked behind him but was crushed by Petey's head with a headbutt. The puffball tried to yell in pain but the illness he got prevented him as a star came out from him and took away his Bomb ability.

"RUUUAAAHHH!!!" Knuckles jumped towards Petey with a fist ready but the Pirahna Plant slapped him down the floor and shot a fast ball of goo to his face. "U-ugh!!!"

"Knuckles?" Mallow asked worried. "A-are you okay?"

"I-I don't feel so good... S-something is hurting me from the inside..."

Mallow gasped. "Y-you're poisoned then! Your face is turning a little bit pale!"

Knuckles's face turned a bit pale as he coughed and closed his eyes half-way. "B-but I'm feeling okay..."

"...A-" Mallow wasn't able to yell as Petey rammed his head at them and pushed them away to the floor, rolling before stopping.

"I have so, so much fury!" Porky yelled raising his 3 claws. "And heck yeah! Showtime!"

A rainbow aura covered him as a force pushed Pit, DK and Diddy back to the air where they were able to backflip and land on their feet.

"W-what?" Chris asked shocked. "H-he can use a Final Smash?"

"Hell yeah!" Porky yelled as his claws glowed in several colors. "And you're gonna love this. Check this out!" Porky began to stomp the floor furiously as he charged at the Smashers who ran away in different directions. "Oh no, you don't!"

SLASH!

"!!!" Diddy tried to yell but he got silenced by the claws, and also he was poisoned as well.

SLASH!

"UGH!" Meta Knight twitched in pain after his arm got sliced, leaving a serious cut that glowed with poison.

SLASH!

"GUARGH!" Lucario roared in pain as a claw reached his back and inflicted a new kind of illness since his body turned a little more blue than usual as Porky stopped glowing and laughed maniacally.

"Like my Piggy's Claws move?" Porky asked snickering.

Piggy's Claws

Inflict several and different status ailments to foes. It may inflict 2 illnesses at a time with moderate damage

"Lu-Lucario?" Chris asked worried. "A-are you okay?"

"U-u-ugh..." Lucario panted and shook his head. "N-no... I-I'm feeling exhausted..."

"'Cuz you got the illness Exhaustion, ironically speaking!" Porky explained. "I went for the trouble to do some research and you got that fortunately! It's a status ailment that makes you hurt every time you use a special attack, and it not only does that, but it also decreases defense!"

"W-what?" Lucario asked between breaths as Porky walked towards them with claws ready.

"Time to put these babies all on you," Porky slammed his claws on Lucario, but the aura Pokémon quickly stood up and punched the 3 claws away with great force. "W-WHAT THE HECK?! You're supposed to be in a bad shape!"

"S-since my aura is reaching a critical level..." Lucario coughed as his hands glowed with intense aura. "It's giving me more strength..."

Porky rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure. And I'm Ness's dad."

"Can you still go on though?" Geno asked and Lucario nodded slowly as he looked at Chris.

"Chris...it's time to use it..."

"...But I hope it goes perfectly well..." Chris and Lucario stared at Porky as both aura users leaned backs to each other. "Our auras will channel together..."

"OH HECK NO!" Porky yelled angrily. "No more of those attacks!"

"And form an even greater force." Lucario added as both quickly ran to opposite directions and turned slowly towards Porky with Force Palms ready. "GUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!"

"AURA FISTS!!!" Chris yelled as the aura users slammed their Force Palms at each side and created an internal tremble on the machine that greatly paralyzed it while Porky tried to move between grunts.

"GRRR!" Lucario felt exhausted and kneeled weakly.

"Lucario!" Chris ran to Lucario and ducked to see him. "D-don't tell me that illness is hurting you so much..."

"...It is..." Lucario muttered with closed eyes. "I should be...resting now...but I don't want to...leave you alone...in this battle..."

"...Then I'll be the healer again, just for you." Chris said with a serious look as he changed to his Musician job.

"!!!" Pit tried to talk to Chris.

"...I didn't get one bit about what you said, but I'm going to heal you both from your illnesses," Chris said as he calmly played Soul Etude as a happy atmosphere felt on the 3, healing Pit and Lucario from their status ailments and cured them a bit from their wounds. "Dammit! I forgot Meta Knight!"

"No," Meta Knight spoke behind him. "You didn't. I got here in time to recover my poison. Thank you."

Chris blushed. "E-er, shouldn't you 3 be attacking Porky while he is paralyzed?"

"DK, Diddy and Geno are doing that." Pit said as he pointed to the kongs and the puppet attacking the spider mech from all sides using Giant Punches, peanuts and bullets from Geno's fingers while Porky grunted in pain.

"How much health does this machine have?" Geno asked annoyed.

"T-the necessary to crush you all!" Porky yelled as he was freed from being paralyzed.

"Wait!" Diddy looked around. "Where is Yoshi? I haven't seen him!"

Chris looked around the stadium and Yoshi was nowhere to be found. "Yoshi! Yoshi! Where are you?"

"Hey!" Porky called as he narrowly missed Chris from slicing him, thanks to Lucario from grabbed his trainer in time. "Pay attention to beautiful me!"

"Where is that Yoshi when we need him?" DK asked.

"..." Chris looked down before he looked at the screen and found Yoshi, standing close to the trapped crowd where he was...sitting on the floor like he didn't care about anything. "Yoshi?... Why are you..." Chris closed his eyes before opening them. "I'll go for Yoshi. Lucario, you stay here and fight."

"Are you going to be fine?" Lucario asked worried.

"I'll be fine. I need to know something about Yoshi first... So please, defeat Porky for me!"

Lucario gave a serious look and nodded. "I'll do it."

"Thanks!" Chris said as he ran away to a hallway as Lucario backstepped from a missile in time.

"Oh, gimme a break!" Sonic said annoyed as he glared up at Petey, who roared pleased. "Why won't you die already?!"

"Because he's a boss, and bosses are supposed to have lots of health," Mallow explained raising a finger. "Back when Geno, Mario, Peach, Bowser and I fought Smithy, we had a long battle against that guy because he kept changing his heads."

"...Er...okay...whatever..."

"Seriously!" Mallow said running on his feet. "We couldn't stand that guy for so long!"

"Look out!" Sonic tackled Mallow from a slap of Petey, who roared angrily as he slowly went after the 2.

"Take...this..." Knuckles said weakly as he weakly punched Petey's stomach. "...Da...mmit..."

"Hyu!"

"UUAAHH!!" Knuckles yelled after Petey slapped him away to the floor and rolled all the way before he lost consciousness.

"KNUCKLES!" Tails yelled from a bomb.

"H-he's fine!" Mallow lied. "J-just keep deactivating those bombs!"

"A-alright, but be careful, please!" Tails yelled worried as he got underneath a bomb.

"Oh man, oh man, oh man..." Mallow shook Knuckles a little. "I don't have healing magic that revives someone... Speaking of which," Mallow got a confused look. "How does fainting relate to death anyway? HP Rain!" Mallow called forth a happy cloud that rained down on the echidna, but it didn't do any effect before the cloud vanished. "...Damn those physics of life!"

Hallway

Yoshi sighed disappointed as the people tried to ask him for help desperately in panic, but the Yoshi ignored their pleas. "Why?" Yoshi asked looking away. "Why I can't fight back with the others?"

"I tell you why," a resident from Mobius(?) began. "Because you haven't helped us yet!"

Yoshi ignored him. "I don't know what's happening to me right now..."

"Yoshi!" Chris called as he ran to him. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, hello..." Yoshi said looking down. "I guess you want me in the fight, right?"

"Everyone needs you to be exac-" Chris shook his head. "T-that's not the point. You have to come with me and fight!"

"...But I just can't..."

Chris got a confused look. "...Why is that?"

"Because...I-I just don't know..." Yoshi said closing his eyes in shame. "I don't have that passion to fight like all of you do..."

"A passion to fight?" Chris repeated. "What do you mean by that?"

Yoshi looked away. "I don't know... I just don't know... It's so confusing..."

Chris thought for a moment. "...But nevertheless, you need to come with me!"

"I can't!" Yoshi yelled. "I want to know why do I have this problem that doesn't let me fight!"

Chris backed away. "B-but that's ridiculous! You simply need t-"

"What?!"

"..." Chris looked away. "...I honestly...don't know..."

"...Figures..." Yoshi muttered sadly. "Maybe I should...leave you?"

"What?" Chris asked worried. "O-of course not! You're important for the whole team!"

"In what way if I can't fight?"

"....L-look," Chris ducked and looked at Yoshi. "If you want, I can help you out and resolve that...internal turmoil you have that prevents you from fighting if we come back to the mansion."

"...Whatever..." Yoshi stood up, followed by Chris. "I don't have anything to lose so...I'll go."

Chris gave Yoshi a worried smile and nodded. "Thank goodness I managed to convince you... Well, let's go back and help the others."

"After you if you don't mind..." Yoshi said playing with his fingers as the 2 ran away outside...

...Leaving the somewhat angry crowd that yelled after the World Traveler came to the Yoshi.

Inside the stadium

"YAAAAHH-OWW!" Amy landed hardly on the floor as she opened her right eye and glared at Petey. "W-why won't this guy stop?"

"Boss?" Mallow responded.

"...I..." Kirby gulped. "I can do...do this!" Kirby yelled, making a serious expression as he ran at Petey who grinned and tried to slap him, but the puffball rolled at the right, making Petey gasp surprised before Kirby lunged at him and did a 4-hit combo with his feet, followed by 2 strong swings with a hammer he took out as Petey roared in pain.

"Kirby..." Marth said surprised. "That combo was good."

Kirby smiled a little. "I-it was?"

"Sure. You could defeat many if you put effort into it."

"Hmm... Effort..." Kirby wondered as he looked at Petey...and flew above him as he used Stone to fall quickly on Petey's stomach that made the plant cough in pain, then Kirby turned back to normal and used Final Cutter to slash the plant upwards then slam his blade with a shckwave that cut Petey severly...and exploded as it roared in pain and fainted on the spot.

"...What was that just now?" Mallow asked confused.

"He...exploded?" Marth asked confused.

"But how?" Sonic asked. "I know plants don't...explode like that..."

"Kirby..." Amy looked at Kirby who turned at her. "Did you do that explosion with that shockwave?"

Kirby shuddered. "N-no... I just...sliced him, but he didn't split in 2..."

"Weird..." Marth trailed off before he shook his head. "A-anyway. We defeated him now."

"That went smoothly for a change." Sonic said with a grin.

"Ahem..." Amy coughed to get the blue hedgehog's attention and pointed at the ill echidna, laying on the floor close to them.

"...So what's your point?"

Amy glared at him.

"O-okay. It didn't go smoothly then..."

"I can tell Chris to revive him with his healing magic later," Marth said as he looked at Porky throwing the kongs away to a wall. "We should help them out now that we finished our own "boss" as Mallow said."

"Hey!" Chris called as he appeared from the hallway with Yoshi. "We're back!"

"AND READY TO BE MURDERED?!" Porky asked, laughing like a maniac as he fired missiles at the incoming duo. Chris gasped but Yoshi quickly swallowed him and ran away from the missiles that exploded close to them, then he spat Chris out.

"...Y-yuck..." Chris twitched as he wiped some saliva from his forehead. "I-I guess you had not option left..."

"Sorry..." Yoshi said disappointed. "I ran out of ideas."

"I-it's okay though..." Chris got up. "Thank you."

"You're welcome..." Yoshi said as he sounded bored at the same time.

"...Geno!" Chris yelled as Geno was lashed to the floor and bounced a little. The World Traveler moved his fingers along the harp. "...What the... A new song?" Chris asked as he shone for a second and played a different tune. "Angelsong!"

A happy atmosphere fell on Geno and the puppet felt that his wounds were recovering little by little after the World Traveler ended his chant. "Hm?... M wounds are healing slowly..." Geno said as Porky walked to him.

"And I'll kill you slowly!" Porky yelled as he joined 2 claws together and shot a long red laser that electrocuted the puppet greatly. "Missiles!" Porky yelled as he fired 2 missiles that reached Geno, who was staggering from the previous attack as he was sent to the air and crashed on the floor.

"You won't...take me out..." Geno said as his wounds healed. "My wounds are still...recovering from your attack..."

"Just how long are you all going to last, anyway?!" Porky asked irritated.

"After we finish you off." Marth said as he joined the others.

"Oh great," Porky looked at the 13 characters. "13 against 1... Dammit!" Porky called 10 missiles that stuck out from his back. "Guess I'll have to go crazy and fire missiles, lasers, whatever my mind thinks of and DESTROY EVERYTHING IN MY F(BEEP!)NG SIGHT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"Hm?" Twink got confused after the curse as Geno facepalmed.

Porky began to fire missiles, lasers and Porky Bots crazily that created some kind of war that went in all directions, making every fighter roll and evade the crazy assault of attacks from the Pig King. Many of them were not careful and got severly injured.

"U-ugh..." DK remained standing with his hands. "H-he's going nuts..."

"At this rate, he will kill us off in a matter of time!" Amy said. "We can't give up now!"

"Chris!" Kawashima called out. "I think you need to cooperate with Marth and discover the next attack!"

Chris got worried as he tripped but evaded a laser. "D-do you think we can find it now?"

"It's possible. Just try it out!"

"...Okay..." Chris muttered as he changed to his Ranger job and looked around for the Altean, who conveniently enough was running behind him. "Marth! Marth! Here! Please come over here!"

"Huh?" Marth stopped on his tracks and ran towards Chris. "Did you call me?"

Chris nodded while Yoshi rolled behind him using Egg Roll. "We need to see if we can use our Combinated Final Smash to defeat him...because I'm really, REALLY sick of his huge ego."

"Hmm..." Marth wondered a little b-

"There is no time to wonder now! We have to see if we ca-" suddenly, Chris stopped once he felt the same sensation. "(There it is again...)"

"(Looks like it.)" Marth called back.

"(You already know this?)"

"(Yes. Jigglypuff told me about this feeling.)"

"(What were you doing with Jigg... N-nevermind. Are you ready to do it? It could bring us something nice out of it.)"

"(If it does, then my answer would be yes.)"

"Then let's hope this is the final strike..." Chris trailed off worried.

"It will," Marth said, putting Falchion in front of him. "I know it will."

"DIE DIE DIE DIE!" Porky yelled madly as he continued to land a hit on the fighters. "YOU HAVE TO DIE SO I CAN BE PREPARED TO KILL NESS AND LUCAS!!!"

"...Shouldn't we make some kind of distraction before, though?" Chris asked.

"That would be good..." Marth thought for a moment. "Everyone! Can you hear me?!" Marth asked yelling.

"Y-yes! What is it?!" Pit asked as he rolled away from a Porky Bot.

[DededeCloneChris]

"We need to stop Porky so Chris and I reach him and use our attack together!"

"But how?!" Yoshi asked from afar. "There's no way to stop a frenzy of attacks like this one!"

"A-and besides..." Meta Knight coughed. "One of t-those robots tripped on me and gave me more poison again..."

"And pretty much everyone else is so busy with all the artillery and robots, especially the robots that inflict illnesses. Kirby was silenced too!" Amy held Kirby up as the puffball made a sad look and tried to speak.

"...Wait..." Chris took out a familiar item. "The Timer... I forgot about it..."

"We could use it to slow down the attacks." Marth said.

"...Wait a minute!" Chris said brightly as Marth blinked surprised.

"W-what?"

"I think I know how to increase the effect of the Timer..."

"GUUAAAAAARRRGGHH!!" Lucario threw a big Aura Sphere due to his huge amount of damage that exploded on Porky but the attacks were still being launched everywhere. "I-I couldn't defeat him..."

"OF COURSE NOT!" Porky yelled. "I'M SO DAMN AWESOME, TOUGH AND GOOD LOOKING TO BE DEFEATED THAT EASILY LIKE THAT PLANT OVER THERE!" Porky pointed at Petey, who was laying down the floor, fainted.

"I hate this guy's ego so much..." DK muttered weakly.

"His ego is bigger than Sonic's ego." Diddy pointed out.

"Yeah, his ego is bigger than min-hey!" Sonic yelled.

"YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME! YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME!" Porky taunted all of them with snickers. "YOU-WON'T-STOP-M-"

"Put the hands of time at full stop..."

"YOU-WON'T-STOP-M...huh?!"

Music stops

"TIMER!" Chris (in his Scholar job) help up a glowing Timer that vanished and showed a stronger effect on the field as everything (except the Smashers) came at full stop and even Porky himself. Pit even saw that one missile was going to explode on him but it stopped 3 centimeters away from his nose. "It seems...that the formula was a success." Chris said.

"Good," Marth nodded as the World Traveler changed to his Ranger job. "Are you ready for it?"

Chris nodded with a chuckle. "Yes."

"Attack him while he can't move in the meantime, everyone!" Marth instructed as everyone went all-out to the spider mech with their attacks.

"Geno Whirl!" Geno fired a fast ring that crossed the old brat.

"Star Rain!" Mallow called forth a huge Starman that bounced on the machine 13 times before vanishing.

"YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" DK leaped at the machine and slammed his joined fists hard at the mech.

"You're not getting away from this either!" Amy yelled as she followed the kong's attack by a strong slam of her hammer.

"Receive this!" Pit yelled firing multiple arrows at will from a distance.

"I...hope this makes you...understand." Meta Knight struggled as he continuously slashed the mech from behind.

"Ah!" Diddy kept charging his Peanut Popgun several times to fire peanuts at full speed which...surprisingly dealt damage.

"HIU-AH!" Kirby followed the attack by 2 spinning attacks with his hammer in midair.

"SHIE!" Sonic slammed himself into the machine with Spin Dash and crossed one claw through.

"D-don't forget about me!" Yoshi yelled from some meters away as he tossed a Yoshi Egg at the machine, which broke upon contact.

"...I..." Lucario gritted his fangs as he charged a big Aura Sphere. "I...need to...keep fighting... GUUUUUUUUAAAAAARRGGHHH!!!" Lucario fired the big Aura Sphere at full speed as it made an explosion on Porky.

"Now it is the time..." Marth called as his voice echoed. Chris standing behind him with his sword ready.

"I hope this is enough." Chris said as he closed his eyes and put a stronger grip on his sword before Marth dashed at the spider mech with Chris following from behind.

The Altean prince seemed to use Dolphin Slash as his first strike, but suddenly when he landed the first blow, Chris swiftly appeared in front of Marth by making a quick turn with the prince and slammed his sword quickly, then Marth came in and slashed Porky, then Chris simply swung his sword and slashed the mech...

...But the speed they were using was slowly increasing with every hit until they landed 19 slashes: 10 from the World Traveler and 9 from the Altean prince.

"It is the end." Marth said as both stopped and stood next to each other.

"Whale Cleave!!!" Chris and Marth yelled in unison as they jumped high and slammed their shining swords at the same time on the spider mech, the last hit adding one extra hit to the previous 19 hits, creating a tremble once their swords crossed the mech and slammed to the floor beneath him.

New ability learned! Whale Cleave!

An enhanced version of Dolphin Slash. Continuously slash the enemy with 2 swordsmen and deal a strong last blow at the same time. Deals moderate damage to a single enemy

Time seemed to run back as normal as both swordsmen backed away from the mech which seemed to shoot out small bolts of electricity before it fell down on its back. Porky seemed to breath slowly in pain as the machine seized its functions.

"...No..." Porky muttered. "Not like...this... Uuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhh..."

"...It's over..." Blaze said.

Yoshi made a bored look at her. "You don't say anything. You didn't do anything."

"So did you."

"...Don't remind me." Yoshi said ashamed.

"...Phew!" DK sat on the floor and wiped sweat from his face. "He went down at last..."

"It seems that way..." Diddy sat besides DK. "We can finally return to our things."

"...Wait!" Mallow looked around at the Subspace Bombs. "The bombs! Have they been deactivated yet?!"

"Don't worry, you guys!" Tails called from afar as he deactivated a bomb. "We managed to stop all the bombs from blowing up!"

"Sweet! Good work, Tails!" Sonic said, giving him a thumbs up.

"...But..."

"Huh?"

5 minutes later...

All the characters were gathered in front of the Halberd (Meta Knight tried to enter from above again, but the force field that shielded it was still there) and were wondering something. Chris was able to heal all of them through using many Soul Etudes with his Musician job (he even was using it right now).

"When a bomb is deactivated," Tails explained. "It seems that the robots attached to them deactivate as well."

"So that's why the bombs are activated?" Geno asked.

Tails nodded. "Correct. The Subspace Bombs can be only activated by "sacrificing" those robots."

Cream looked down sadly. "Please...don't say that..."

Tails made a worried look. "I'm sorry...but I don't know another way to put it exactly."

"Hmph!" Marine pouted a little. "Sacifin' lifes to blow bombs? Who's the honza behind all tis? Mates?"

"Tabuu..." Lucario responded trailing off.

"Who?" Knuckles asked.

"We don't know how Tabuu looks like," Marth began. "But we know he is behind all this."

"Hm..." Tails wondered. "But why sacrifing robots?"

"Who cares right now?" Vector asked, crossing his arms. "Thing is that the whole audience is coming back!"

"What?" Kirby looked at the screen where the force fields that imprisoned the spectators disappeared and they all ran back to the stadium to find out what was going on.

But suddenly, the sound of a big engine started to be heard and they all looked at the Halberd...taking off slowly from the stadium.

"W-what the heck?!" Amy asked in shock.

"B-but I thought there weren't any more guys like those...2... Uh-oh..." Yoshi's eyes widened.

"What is wrong with you?" Pit asked.

"...They're gone! The old kid and the plant are gone!"

The groups looked where Porky and Petey once were and they weren't found anywhere.

"W-what happened?! T-they were just laying down on the floor a minute ago!" Twink said.

"Unless..." Marth wondered. "Tabuu called them back using the portals from underneath them."

"Hello?" Sonic asked annoyed. "There's am airship taking off!"

"Meta Knight!" Chris said. "Maybe Meta Knight is starting the Halberd!"

"No," Meta Knight appeared behind them. "I couldn't board the Halberd...because of that person over there. Just maybe."

"Person over there?" Charmy put his hands above his eyes to see the Halberd. "Who are you talking about?"

"...Wait..." Lucario narrowed his eyes. "Isn't that..."

"...Huh?" Kirby stood on the tips of his feet. "...Mr. G&W?!"

Mr. G&W watched from the top of the Halberd (on the tip of the front area) at the Smashers, then Porky appeared besides him and laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You lost your chance to recover this ship and the Star Spirit hidden high above the clouds! DUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"...Hidden high above the clouds?" Geno asked confused.

Porky realized what he just said and cursed under his breath. "...OH, DAMMIT!" Porky yelled as the Halberd slowly took off to the sky and disappeared in the purple clouds that vanished and revealed the night once again.

"Hidden high above the clouds..." Geno wondered.

"You mean above the purple clouds of a moment ago?" Twink asked.

"...I don't know...but we should remember that clue if we need it."

"It may be crucial to find the last Star Spirit." Marth said.

"Who was that...flat guy?" Knuckles asked.

"Mr. G&W," Mario explained. "Some of us know him from the past tournament."

"But what was he doing on the Halberd?" Marth asked confused.

"If I remember," Chris looked at Marth. "You met him on the Halberd before, right?"

"Yes... But why is..."

They were all interrupted by the loud cheers of the crowd that were grateful after their actions as they all looked around.

"Well, well, well!" Toadsworth called out. "It seems this event was once again saved by the Smashers like the last time in the Festival of Sports! And not only some normal event, the Olympic Games!"

Diddy blushed and scratched his head a little. "Heheheheh..."

"In behalf of all the people in here... Thank you so much for your assistance." Toadsworth said with a heartly chuckle as the crowd cheered loudly.

"...We're heroes again?" Twink asked.

"Yup," Mallow chuckled. "Seems that way. Good for me."

"C'mon, people!" Daisy said, making a fist in the air. "We have an event to finish up!"

Chris looked at Marth with a worried face. "Why are you looking at me?" Marth asked.

"Well..." Chris trailed off.

Marth blinked for a moment before chuckling a little bit. "I see," Marth shook his head. "Don't worry, we'll discuss this with everyone back at the mansion. Let's play the least event for now."

"...Okay." Chris said smiling a bit.

Final Event: 8 X 100m Relay

Participants: All

Wario, Blaze and Pit were getting ready to run with their batons on right hands, while the others team members were waiting for them 100m away from their position.

The crowds from both places seemed to be no longer angry with any team since they were themselves targeted at the same time, meaning that neither Mario's or Sonic's team was responsible for the sabotages at all.

Or the Smashers for that matter.

"This is it," Toadsworth began. "The final event of the Olympic Games will finally begin in a minute! Everybody is ready to give it their all and work together in this last and exciting event, where the true winner will be revealed!" Toadsworth chuckled heartily. "Question is: are you ready?" Toadsworth asked and the crowd erupted with cheers. "Alright! That's the enthusiasm I was talking about! Lakitu! Cream! Charmy! Please, say the words!"

"On your marks..." Lakitu lifted a gun to the air.

"Get set..." Cream lifted a flag.

Super Sonic Racing

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Charmy shot a firework at the center of the stadium that exploded, marking the beginning of the event as the 3 runners ran as fast as they could with all their energies.

"You 2!" Wario laughed. "You're so going to lose today!"

"Oh, please," Blaze rolled her eyes. "That line is so well known to be extremely boring."

"What?"

"I have to agree," Pit said nodding. "You don't have good lines to insult us."

"GRR! Who asked you 2, anyway?!" Wario asked annoyed as the 3 ran at their team members (Waluigi, Dr. Eggman and Marth respectively). "Hey! You better not trip!"

"Aw, shaddup!" Waluigi yelled as the next trio began to run and sprinted to the next trio after the previous trio handed them the batons.

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho!" Dr. Eggman panted as he ran.

Marth seemed to be ahead of them by 1m. "Hmph. I'm not one of the fastest for nothing."

"Quit your words to yourself!" Waluigi yelled annoyed.

"W-wait..." Dr. Eggman slowed down. "I-I'm not into running..."

"C'mon!" Amy yelled from her spot (Daisy and Geno standing on each side of her). "You have to run fast!"

"I... I'm doing it..." Dr. Eggman muttered as he reached Amy and handed her the baton, but late because Daisy and Geno were already ahead of her.

"Oh, no!" Amy made an angry expression and began to run faster. "You won't get away from me!"

"What?" Daisy saw Amy slowly catching up with her. "Oh no, no no no! You won't pass me!"

"Just watch!" Amy said angrily as Geno passed both girls. "Hey! Where are you going?!"

"I'm going to give this to Mallow," Geno said as he gave Mallow his baton, stopped and saw the cloud prince running away to the next member. "Hurry up."

Amy grinned. "You don't have to tell me twice!" Amy said as she gave the baton to Vector, while Daisy gave the baton to Bowser.

"OUT OF THE WAY!" Bowser yelled angrily.

"NO WAY!" Vector yelled with a glare. "YOU FIRST!"

"Oh, come on!" Mallow yelled from several meters ahead of them. "You can't stop arguing with each other, can you?"

"NO!" Bowser and Vector yelled angrily.

"...I should've thought..." Mallow thought as he saw DK ahead.

"GO AWAY!" Bowser yelled.

"YA FIRST, AGAIN!" Vector yelled as he spotted Shadow and Bowser saw Yoshi.

"Faster!" Yoshi yelled as he began to run. "Faster!"

"HERE!" Bowser slammed the baton on Yoshi's right hand as the Yoshi began to sprint and catch up with DK.

However, Shadow came from between them and passed both of them as DK looked surprised at this.

"H-hey! Wait up!" DK yelled.

"Like I'll listen to you." Shadow responded with a frown.

"I thought he was going to say that." Yoshi said as he spotted Peach after Shadow gave the baton to Knuckles.

"Here you go, buddy!" DK said as he gave the baton to Diddy (who grabbed it with his tail) and sprinted to the next member, 100m ahead of him.

Knuckles saw Peach running faster than him and the echidna made a surprised face before glaring. "Grrr! Why the heck is she going faster than me?! Stupid pills!"

Peach let out a small chuckle as she spotted Luigi ahead of him. "Luigi! Run fast, okay?"

"You too, Tails!" Knuckles yelled as he gave the baton to Tails and Diddy gave the baton to Lucario.

"Kirby..." Meta Knight (who decided to stay behind on a bench with Kirby) looked at Kirby.

"If you're wondering," Kirby said smiling. "I wanted to stay here and not participate in this event because I don't run that fast. Besides..." Kirby took out a ramen bowl. "I wanted to eat this!"

"...Yes..." Meta Knight said with a frown as he looked back at the competition.

"Lucario!" Chris called from his spot (with the Racer job).

"What?" Lucario asked as he dashed pass Luigi and Tails.

"I know you can run faster than them! Get here, quickly!"

Lucario smiled a little with a serious face as he accelerated.

"H-hey!" Luigi called out. "I-I need to run faster!"

"If you don't talk, then you could run faster!" Tails yelled as he accelerated

"C'mon..." Sonic looked impacient as Tails was getting closer. Chris was already running up ahead at the last 100m while Mario was waiting for Luigi. "GO!" Sonic yelled with a nice start as he passed Mario, who made a serious face and ran faster to catch up with the 2.

"Chris! Chris! Chris! Go! Chris! Chris! Chris! Go!" Kirby, Twink and Mallow cheered together.

"Sooonic! Sooonic! Sooonic! Sooonic!" the crowd from Mobius(?) cheered at the blue hedgehog.

"YOU CAN DO IT, SONIC!" Amy yelled, throwing uppercuts to the air.

"Ma-ri-o! Ma-ri-o! Ma-ri-o! Ma-ri-o! Ma-ri-o!" the crowd from the Mushroom Kingdom cheered along with Mario's team (except Wario, Waluigi and Bowser who just wanted to have the trophy).

Chris began to pant as he lost speed. "...My...legs... I...can't...run...like...this..."

"What's the matter?" Sonic asked as he ran besides Chris with a grin. "Can't catch up?"

"Just try to run faster!" Mario encouraged Chris. "You can make a difference with more effort!"

"(...Mario...you sure are very kind...)" Chris thought in surprise as the trio spotted the finish line up ahead.

"Chris!" Lucario yelled. "Run! Run!"

"(Lucario...)" Chris closed his eyes and he began to accelerate.

Sonic looked at the finish line and grinned. "This ending will be one for a photo!"

"I know!" Mario yelled back as the trio neared to the finish line. The crowd, the teams, everyone went silent for a moment after only 10m were remaining from the final competitors and the line, where the winner of the Olympic Games was going to be decided.

"(Please...)" Chris thought. "(Let me win... Let me win!)"

Just when they were about to reach the line...the entire screen shone brightly before the first one who crossed the line was shown...

Mario Kart Wii - Ceremony

10 minutes later...

"And now," Toadsworth began as the crowd cheered. "The conclusion for the Olympic Games here, in Beijing, has come to an end! We congratulate everyone here for coming all the way from their homes and witness the grand finale!"

"We're so happy to announce the third, second and first places for each team that managed to get their place, by working hard in each event!" Lakitu said as he held a bronze badge and a bronze trophy. Cream and Cheese were holding a silver trophy and a silver medal respectively while Charmy and Espio were holding a golden medal and a big golden trophy respectively.

"For the third place...please, give a round of applauds to this tough team: the Smashers' Team from the Smash Mansion!" Toadsworth announced while Lakitu flew over to Chris (who was with his team, standing above the right platform which was numbered "3") and gave him the medal that the World Traveler put on his neck and grabbed the trophy.

"Thank you for your participation, everyone." Lakitu said with a nod as Chris held up the trophy above them, making the crowd go wild.

"Well..." Chris trailed off. "We didn't win the second or the first place...so sorry."

"Please," DK smiled. "You did well out there."

"And look!" Twink grabbed the trophy. "This is going to be a memory to remember our participations here!"

"But you didn't participate." Geno pointed out.

Twink made a bored face. "And you have to ruin my fantasies because?"

Geno merely chuckled.

"Also," Toadsworth began. "We'd like to thank all of you for saving Beijing from utter disaster, like you did back at the Mushroom Kingdom's Festival of Sports. Give more applauds!"

Chris blushed embarrassed as the crowd let out a loud cheer, but Lucario pulled his trainer under his right arm and licked his cheek happily, making Chris laugh while the others laughed a bit as well.

"And for the second place...we have the team who had the idea of this wonderful way to express the passion for the sports: Sonic's Team from Mobius!"

"I'm so happy for all of you," Cream said as she put the silver medal on Sonic's neck as Cheese gave him the silver trophy. "Thank you so much for taking me here!"

"Yeah," Sonic winked at her. "Thanks for accepting the invitation."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Sonic!"

"Chao chao chao!" Cheese cheered.

"Hey guys!" Sonic held up the trophy. "We won the second place! That's good news!"

"Alright!" Vector took the trophy as money signs appeared on his eyes. "Now, let's sell this thing!"

"Nah-ah-ah!" Amy took back the trophy. "We're gonna put this in a place where everyone can see it!"

"May I suggest my lab?" Tails suggested.

"...We'll think about a good place!" Amy said as Tails frowned.

"And lastly..." Toadsworth began as the crowd went silent. "We'd like to thank Sonic and his friends for being so considerable to us, the residents from the Mushroom Kingdom," he chuckled. "Please, do call us for another interesting bout!"

The crowd cheered loudly at the team from Mobius(?) after that.

"And now!" Toadsworth stopped the cheers. "For the last team who was able to reach the first place, the team who showed skills, grace and talent throughout the games, the team who has won fairly...by not answered causes that we all had to suffer mysteriously," the crowd talked for a bit about the true culprit, as well as the teams. "The team who has won the Olympic Games is..." drums began to play as Charmy chuckled and went for the team above the highest pedestal between the 2 other teams, with Espio following him. "...Mario's Team from the Mushroom Kingdom!!!"

The crowd went wild while Charmy put and have the medal and Espio the trophy to Mario, who stared at his rewards in awe with his teammates as Bowser took the trophy and held it up high in victory...then Wario and Waluigi tackled him down and chuckled evily after taking the trophy...then Bowser pushed both of them out of the way and grabbed the trophy back as this continued until Daisy grabbed the trophy after the trio were fighting between each other, making many laugh at them.

Confetti began to fall down the sky as the Smashers and Sonic's team congratulated Mario's Team with applauds. "And so! We end the Olympic Games with a big celebration at one of the biggest and best places to hold parties here in Beijing! Thank you for watching the whole event from your seats or for those watching this at home! Thank you very much aaaaaaaaaaaaand good night and good bye!"

Music stops

1 hour later...

The stadium was left empty. Nobody was there at that time because many were celebrating at another place in Beijing...

...But with a closer look, there were Mario's and Sonic's teams (without Wario, Waluigi, Bowser and Dr. Eggman) looking at the Smashers, who were about to enter the portal back to the mansion.

"Luigi..." Mario trailed off. "Are you sure you want to go with them?"

"You're going to miss the Star Festival," Peach began. "It's going to be in 2 months and who knows when you're going to return."

Luigi shook his head and looked down. "I...I made my decision," Luigi smiled a little at them. "I know what I'm doing after all."

"He's going to be just fine," Mallow said with a chuckle. "We'll watch his back and we'll try to keep him away from ours."

"...Hey!"

"Just kidding!"

"Alright, then," Daisy began with a smile. "I hope I get a chance to drop by and visit that mansion someday."

"We let visitors come anytime," DK said. "You can come whenever you like."

"Sweet!" Marine said. "I'll try to give ya all a visit there, mates!"

"But then she'll have to ask me first." Blaze said with a chuckle.

"Sonic..." Amy wiped some tears. "A-are you going with them again?"

"What about our world?" Tails asked. "It's in a critical condition right now as we speak."

"Meh," Sonic grinned. "Don't worry, I'll try to find a solution to that once we're done with something else."

"The last Star Spirit and the defeat of Smithy." Geno said.

"Yeah, that."

"Meanwhile," Knuckles began. "We'll try to find the solution by our own. It's not like we need you all the time to fight something."

"And we'll help!" Vector said with a grin as he rubbed his index and thumb together. "It'll cost you some money thoug-"

"We will help if they need us." Espio said as Vector gave him a glare while Charmy chuckled.

"We're gonna have lots of fun together like the last time!" Charmy said to Marth, who shrugged.

"I'll miss the food here," Kirby sobbed. "It was delicious..."

Chris ducked and hugged Kirby as he stood up. "I think we're going to meet each other again very soon."

"Really?" Mario asked. "Good. Maybe Peach and I could join you all at last."

Shadow coughed. "Well, don't expect to see me again."

"Why?" Diddy asked.

"Because I won't let you convince me to participate in this crap again."

"...Sure..." Diddy looked away.

"Wait a minute," Pit wondered. "Anybody knows who was responsible for the sabotages?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Neither Bowser, Wario, Waluigi or Dr. Eggman were the culprits." Pit said.

"Or Porky." Yoshi added.

"Who cares?" Sonic asked with a grin. "The important is that the games ended and that guy is going to leave us alone from now on."

"...Maybe you're right..." Tails trailed off.

"Let's not worry for that." Lucario suggested.

"Anyway!" Mallow smiled. "Let's go back and see if the others were saved!"

Chris nodded. "Thank you for letting us participate."

"We'll invite you next time." Peach said with a small giggle.

Chris blushed. "P-please do...I'll be glad."

"Hidden high above the clouds..." Geno muttered in a thinking position.

"Geno..." Twink made a worried face.

"Now let's go back." Meta Knight said as he walked inside the portal first, followed by all the Smashers before the portal vanished.

"...And there goes Luigi..." Mario said sighing as Peach patted his back.

"He'll be okay. I know Luigi will be safe."

"...You're right."

"But I can't stop thinking," Daisy hit her forehead slightly. "I can't stop thinking about who did all those sabotages."

In another, unknown, dark area

"Why?" Cream asked as a camera focused on her face. "Why would somebody do such things to us?"

Vector's stomach grumbled. "Ya know, what I want now is big, plate of that takoyaki they are serving in the party!"

"Yeah!" Charmy said nodding, sticking out his tongue. "Let's celebrate for now!"

"Fools..." a person on a chair said with joined hands. "All the sabotages: the different flags, the floaties with holes, the shattered paddles, the skiffs with holes, the weak pole, the hole, the weak table, the high crossbar, the moving hurdle, the reversed rifle, the explosive blocks and the force fields were all because of me!" the person turned the chair and revealed himself. "The sponsor of the very same event: Alex Kidd! The great mascot!"

Alex Kidd jumped out from his chair. "That fool of Sonic was able to live through my ingenious plots, but those Smashers got in the frickin' way to let me gain my so deserved spotlight! But noooooo! They interrupted my schemes every single DAMN time! Not even my awesome schemes were enough to kill all of them!" he looked away. "Even those weird guys from the ship almost succeeded in doing my work, but they happened to be weak! How annoying and frustrating!"

"A-HA!" a voice spoke from behind a door.

"W-what?!"

BANG!

The door was destroyed by a large figure with 2 other figures that stepped inside the mysterious room as they glared at Alex Kidd.

"W-who the heck are you 3?!"

"I'll tell you," a figure that...okay, it was Vector, Charmy and Espio, began. "We're the Team Chaotix Detective Agency, and we're here to punish you for your crimes!"

Charmy took out a recorder and played what Alex Kidd said. "Yep! We have you where we wanted!"

Alex Kidd took a step back. "I-impossible! How could you 3... I mean, how did you 3 find out that it was me...IF YOU WEREN'T SEARCHING FOR ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"

"Simple," Espio said with a grin. "The sponsor is always inside the stadium, watching from a private room with an obvious sign. We were looking for you after Chris told us."

"Yeah," Vector nodded, crossing his arms. "We like to work when nobody is looking... That's why we went several times to the bathroom and discuss our findings there."

Charmy made a bored look and pointed at a sign, laying down on the floor where the pieces of the door were. "C'mon, "This place is Off-Limits because the sponsor is in here"? What kind of sign is that?"

"...Curse my genius..." Alex Kidd muttered.

Vector cracked his fists. "Guess we'll have to bring you by force!"

"Filthy rat." Espio said, doing a handsign.

"Lemme pinch 'im!" Charmy said with a fist.

Alex Kidd backed away to a wall as the 3 got closer and closer to him. "N-no! Y-you won't take me alive! You won't take me ali-"

"Shut up." Espio said.

PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! PINCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!

Chapter 114: Rosalina: The Princess of the Galaxy

Subspace
Deep inside the Great Maze

"Lord Tabuu," the Ancient Minister began. "I have great news."

"Besides the fact Porky lost against them, the Subspace Bombs were all deactivated and the fact that his somewhat not quite mouth gave vital information about the location of the last Star Spirit?" Tabuu asked with irritation in his voice.

"Honestly speaking, yes."

"What?"

"The scout that was sent to Samus's world managed to find the monster we were looking for, and they were able to get a sample of its original DNA."

Tabuu's eyes widened a little. "Ah... Very well..."

"And right now as we speak, we're trying to create the former 2 subjects we lost last time when they invaded our stronghold."

"Yes... Yes... It is so good to hear that we are making progress to recover everything we lost in the last war."

"I'm glad you're being optimistic about all the events that happened a time ago. This time, your forces will be stronger and more intelligent if I presume well."

"Then please, do continue," Tabuu turned his back. "How are the others?"

"Ganondorf is still in great pain after the last encounter, but Charizard and King Dedede are available to any mission. They seem to be mad after they lost though."

"Send them to the galaxy."

"And what galaxy are you speaking of?"

"Mario is on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. The King of the Koopas can be easily found and I know he will not object about giving him our aid, since it will be benificial to his plans and ours as well."

"I see..."

"And also," Tabuu continued. "There are many perils in the galaxy that Master Hand's forces will not overcome so easily."

"Shall I begin the preparations then?"

"Of course. Meanwhile, I will see other important matters."

"Can I know about your matters?" The Ancient Minister asked.

"If I were to tell you...you would die," once Tabuu said that, the Ancient Minister gasped in his mind. "Please, start everything. This is another mission where you are going to be in charge of. Do not fail me." Tabuu said before he vanished.

Tales of Symphonia 2 - Behind Us!

The Ancient Minister looked away. "About 15 bombs which were activated by 30 of my brethen some moments ago were deactivated...along with them... I must know how to stop this...but is escaping from here a good option?" The Ancient Minister wondered as he looked at the darkness of the Subspace, which he went forward and disappeared.

Nintendo City
Post Office from outside the barrier

It has been quite a while after the persistent Paratroopa went to see the clouds that his fellow friends were starting to worry about him.

"When is that stubborn Paratroopa going to get down?" Quil asked, crossing his arms. "He's going to get frozen inside an ice cube if he doesn't return right now."

"But you have to agree," Postman began. "He has determination."

"Coming from a determinated postman who rushes to every single person with mail pending." Quil said, rolling his eyes.

"Hey, we postmen are that dedicated in our labors. You should do the same someday." Postman suggested.

"That day my feathers will fall off because I'll act like an idiot."

"Whatever you say..." Postman trailed off.

"But..." Quil looked outside. "It's stupid..."

"Stupid what?"

"That the climate is getting somehow...stronger for some reason..." Quil noticed that more snow was falling outside. "It's snowing even more than it used to. Remember the storm 2 days ago during the night?"

"Yeah," Postman remembered. "It was very strong from what I can recall."

"Call this a crazy assumption...but I think this storm is man-made..."

"Crazy assumption." Postman said nodding.

"It is not!"

"Well, you said I could call it a crazy assumption!" Postman looked outside. "Hey, Parakarry! Tell Quil he has a crazy assumption!"

"It's not that crazy, right Para..." Quil looked fairly shocked after both postmen found Parakarry...trapped inside an icicle. "PARAKARRY!"

"Oh man! He decided to get ice power but it rejected him!" Postman yelled.

"Stop being an idiot and help me to carry him back inside, close to the chimney!"

Several minutes later...

"ACHOO!"

"Here," Quil gave the almost-unfrozen Parakarry (since his hands and head were out as the ice was melting) hot coffee that the Paratroopa took slowly before sighing. "What happened to you up there?"

"2 shadowy figures attacked me!" Parakarry said angrily. "I was banging on the clouds for some time before a hole opened, and above the hole, 2 figures chuckled rather malevolently and froze me inside this icicle!"

"Banging on the clouds?" Postman asked confused.

"2 figures?" Quil questioned.

"Yep. The clouds up there are as hard as walls," Parakarry explained. "Nobody can get through without force, but mine wasn't all that strong enough."

"But did you manage to see who were those figures?"

"Hmm..." Parakarry wondered as his right leg was able to get outside. "...The attacks felt familiar though...oddly familiar...like if I knew who were the ones who attacked me..."

"Hey," Postman began. "Maybe you should get some rest and see again?"

"Just for him to get inside another icicle and fall down all the way here?" Quil asked with a glare. "Be glad there was a big pile of snow out there that saved him from being shattered!"

"Sorry, sorry. No need to get grumpy either."

"What?!"

"Guys, GUYS!" Parakarry yelled. "Calm down! I know what to do right now with this issue!"

"...You do?" both postmen asked.

Parakarry nodded. "Yep. I know who to ask and help me out."

"Us out." Quil corrected.

"Yeah, that too...but first, since I'm in this condition..."

Quil looked at Parakarry's mug empty as the Paratroopa moved it by the sides. "...Fine, I'll fill it again for you." Quil said with a sigh.

Smash Mansion
Command Room

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 - Pub

Some time passed after the 3 groups managed to return to the mansion, and Luigi was being given his Brawl form (along with Snake) as the plumber looked at his gloves.

"I feel the same." Luigi commented.

"But you got 2 new taunts," Master Hand pointed out. "The weirdest though."

"...I don't want to use them, then..." Luigi shuddered.

"Okay, okay," Master Hand looked at the Smashers. "Excellent job with your assigned duties. Our plans haven't been stopped fortunately."

"I'm so glad everyone is okay," Chris said sighing. "It's good to see everyone safe."

"Aw, he worries about us. Hug him." Pikachu snickered.

Chris got annoyed. "H-hey! I'm saying the truth!"

"I-I-I-I-I would've l-l-l-l-laughed," Falco sneezed with a big scarf on his neck. "B-b-b-b-b-but I can't do it with t-t-t-t-this cold..."

"Oh yes," Master Hand began. "Forgot to tell you something."

"What?" Ness asked.

"While Meta Knight was left behind, he happened to show me a person who, in some time before, entered the mansion that he found in the library."

"And who is that person?" Mallow asked.

"U-um, that would be me."

They all blinked confused at the voice coming from the hallway. They saw a gloved hand waving at them that later was pulled back before the princess from Zaphias, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, stepped out while she blushed, joined hands in front of her waist and also looking down in embarrasment.

"M-my name is Estellise Sidos Heurassein, princess from Zaphias and candidate to the Imperial throne. I-I've been secretly living here without anyone knowing of my presence, except for Etna, who happens to be away right now," Estelle said shyly as she closed her eyes afterwards. "I'm really, really sorry for sneaking in when that horrible storm came in!"

"(Princess?)" Zelda thought surprised.

"Sneaking in?" Snake wondered. "So you're the cause of my cover being blown up."

"I-I don't know anything about that, but please, forgive me for being rude and take refuge in your humble abode!" Estelle said utterly embarrassed.

"Calm down, calm down," Zelda said as she walked to Estelle. "We don't mind guests at all."

"...Really?" Estelle asked as she looked at Zelda, who chuckled a little.

"Yes."

"...Oh, thank you, princess that looks like a Kritya!"

"...A what?" Zelda asked confused.

Estelle gasped. "O-oh, you're not a Kritya? Sorry for misjudging you. Kritya usually have long ears so I thought you were one..."

"...I let that somewhat insult go."

Estelle blushed embarrassed as sweat drops were jumping off her head. "N-no! I wasn't trying to insult anybody! I-it was such a small mistake! I swear!"

"I knew girls like her are easy to get desperate." Popo said.

"Stop it!" Zelda snapped out. "She needs a time to get calm. Estellise, would you breath air for a moment?"

Estelle looked somewhat worried. "O-okay... Let me relax a little..."

Several minutes later...

"Now?" Zelda asked as Estelle regained her composure.

"Yes... Thanks." Estelle said with a polite bow.

"So anyways," Roy began. "What brings you here?"

"I came here 2 days ago after that strong storm came around. I happened to find the mansion through my search for Raven and some other friends that got lost in the forest."

"(Raven?!)" Toon Link thought shocked.

"He has been missing for quite some time so I started to look for him," Estelle looked down. "But I wasn't successful so far. I'm starting to worry about his welfare so much..."

"We happen to know Rav-" Link was interrupted by Toon Link tackling him down. "H-hey! What's the matter with you?!"

"No! We don't know anyone named Raven at all!" Toon Link yelled as everyone watched him. "We-don't-know-any-Raven!"

"...Oh," Estelle got depressed. "I thought you knew him..."

"But we kno-" Marth was tackled down by Toon Link.

"Yes, he i-" Mallow was tackled down by the cartoony swordsman.

"Excuse me? Why are you all acting so strange?" Estelle asked.

"Link is acting strange," Ness began. "We don't."

"But why is he tackling everyone down?"

"Because he doesn't want to tell that Rav-" Ness was tackled down by Toon Link. "Okay, you got 5 seconds to get off my back before I burn you down."

"Traitor, you promised me that you weren't going to say ANYTHING about Raven." Toon Link whispered.

"He's not my idol," Ness replied with a bored look. "And honestly speaking, I hate that old man."

"You've got to keep it a secret!"

"...I'm not dealing with people who don't throw any reward."

Toon Link rolled his eyes. "I let you use my Wind Waker."

Ness narrowed his eyes and grinned a little bit. "And what else?"

Toon Link groaned. "And I'll let you use my Master Sword."

"...What else?"

"YOU LITTL-"

"Hey," Nana called out. "Everyone is staring at you."

Ness and Toon Link glanced around at all the characters who were looking at them, laying down on the floor before they got up and coughed awkwardly. "S-sorry for that." Toon Link said with a nervous chuckle.

Estelle sighed. "Maybe I should leave this place and continue my quest alone..."

"Wait," Zelda interrupted. "Why go out there when you can stay here?"

Estelle's face brightened as she joined her hands. "C-can I really stay here, for real?"

"We don't mind guests." Red said.

"I do." Master Hand said.

"We don't care that much since you always agree afterwards." Yoshi said.

"...Fine, Estelle can stay here as long as she wants. Just keep her away from our matters."

"Oh, thank you so much!" Estelle said happily. "I never thought I'd meet such interesting people like you all in my life before! Being surrounded by all of you, who wear such interesting costumes, is quite a memory to remember!"

"...But we're not wearing costumes," Fox said. "We are like this because we were born this way."

"...You're speaking the truth, right?" Estelle asked.

"I'm 100 percent myself." Wolf added.

"Me too." Kirby said.

"Us too." DK and Diddy with a nod.

"And us too." Sonic, Pichu, Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Lucario said in unison.

"...My god..." Estelle trailed off. "H-how can I see you're not lying?"

"Here, try to pull out my "mask" and see we're not lying." Pikachu jumped to Estelle and she tried to pull his "mask" but was unable to.

"..." Estelle blinked quite shocked.

"So what?"

"...Amazing!" Estelle exclaimed as she put a hand close to her mouth. "Now I'm even more interested in all of you!"

"She gets so easily interested in a second." Link said.

Estelle blushed as she let Pikachu go. "W-well, it IS a shocker, b-but to think I would meet such people like you all...it's a sign that my journey was going to be so full surprises after all! I can't wait to tell Yuri and the others about this!"

"Wait," Chris made a confused face. "Your friend is some kind of sick japanese meaning?"

"Whatever you mean by that?"

"...Oh, maybe I'm wrong..."

"Okay, okay," Master Hand began. "Now that you completely believe in all of us, could you go to your room?"

"But..." Estelle trailed off. "I'm so anxious to know everyone here..."

"Tell you what," Zelda began. "I'll go with you and we'll have a nice chat."

Estelle smiled a little. "Oh, would you do that?"

Zelda nodded. "I'd like to show you the mansion if you want."

Estelle joined her hands and smiled happily. "I'd be so thankful then!"

"Right. Follow me." Zelda said as she walked away with Estelle.

"I'd like to meet all of you later!" Estelle called from her shoulder as the 2 went away.

"There goes Zelda," Link said. "The princess who likes to talk with other high authorities."

"And she says she doesn't like to talk to Peach." Marth added.

"...So..." Luigi trailed off. "She's a new Smasher?"

"No," Master Hand said. "She happened to sneak in and be accepted by Etna, meaning I'm letting people live in my mansion for free because all of you need to show hospitality."

"Hey, she's pretty." C. Falcon said with a devious grin.

"...There he goes with that grin." Yoshi said with a frown.

"I-I'm not going to do that sort of thing!"

"But you always give in anyways," everyone (who knew him) said in unison.

"T-that's not true!" C. Falcon argued.

"...Oh no...don't tell me you went that far because that has to be the most WRONG thing ever." Chris said shocked.

"N-no!"

"...Well...I don't see proof so..."

"ENOUGH!" Master Hand yelled. "Stop talking about Estelle and C. Falcon's temptations! We have things to discuss here!"

"Like the Subspace Bombs?" Pit suggested.

"Actually...no," Master Hand snapped his fingers. "Since I'm sick that Samus isn't ready to join us, I'll resort to use my magic hand time powers to accelerate the process and get her here right now."

"Wait," Sonic rubbed his chin. "Time powers? Why do I think I was affected by something of the sort?"

Master Hand sweated. "Er...no... You must be crazy like Crazy."

"Yee-haw!" Crazy Hand responded as his brother glowed while the Smashers saw the screen, showing Samus's world, as she fought every single enemy at a very fast (and stupid) rate until it stopped and showed her flying to the distance after saluting the general of the Galactic Federation.

"...There..." Master Hand said panting. "It was easier than the last time....because I didn't go through a lot of different storylines like I did with Soni-" Master Hand noticed that Sonic looked annoyed. "...Okay, fine! I did it on you!"

"Ooh! Ooh! Let me do the honors!" Crazy Hand called as he snapped his fingers and made a portal in front of the screen, where Samus (in her Power Suit) walked out several seconds before the portal closed. "Hello, shemale!"

Samus quickly shot the hand down with a Super Missile. "I told you before that I'm not a man!" Samus said annoyed with a groan.

"(Oh yeah, she is here.)" Snake thought.

"Oh..." Samus noticed everyone looking at her. "It's good to see everyone again. So many new faces and old on-" Samus stopped once she realized that Fox's face wasn't the same. "...Well, you're older than the last time."

Fox rolled his eyes as a response.

"No need to get that sympathetic either," Snake began. "Glad to have you here with us."

"Thanks. I appreciate the welcome so mu-"

"Samus!" C. Falcon yelled as he appeared quickly besides Samus. "So, how are you doing?" he asked with a wink.

"...I knew there was a good reason to be mistaken as a man." Samus muttered as she pushed C. Falcon's arm away.

"Have you decided to join us?" Master Hand as he wiped the sweat out with his psychic powers.

"Yes." Samus said with a nod (while C. Falcon cheered behind her).

NEWCOMER!

Samus joined your team!

"After all the trouble with Dark Samus and the Space Pirates, I'm ready to fight the army with everyone." Samus explained.

"Would you fight in that suit?" C. Falcon asked.

"The Power Suit? Yes. The other one? Only if it is necessary."

"Oh, so you know where I'm getting at..." C. Falcon said with a wink.

"Would you stop the freaking innuendo?" Pikachu asked irritated.

"What is he getting at, Geno?" Twink whispered.

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Geno replied with irritation.

"Hmm..." Chris began to wonder.

"What are you thinking?" Lucario asked.

"I just realized that we need only Mario and Peach to complete the whole team."

"What about Bowser and Wario?"

Chris gave him a bored look. "The day I let those 2 in I'll be crazy. I know they're going to join the other side so why bother to look for them?"

"...Maybe you're right..." Lucario said with a nod.

"ACHOO!" Falco sneezed and shivered. "For my A-A-A-A-A-Arwing's sake, when is t-t-t-t-t-t-this freaking cold going to g-g-g-g-g-g-go away and leave me alone?! ACHOO!"

"Ah," Pit wondered. "The snow from outside you mean? Now that you mention it, it has been out there for quite a while, right?"

Falco nodded. "Y-y-y-y-y-yeah. T-t-t-t-t-the next time we need t-t-t-t-t-t-to go to a w-w-w-w-w-world, I'm going to g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go no matter what y-y-y-y-y-y-you say!" Falco tried his best not to studder. "A different place is better than this prison of ice! We went through enough ice already and I'll be glad to see actual magma or lava around! Heck, I'd dive in for that matter! ACHOO!"

"Sucks to be bird brain." Wolf snickered as Falco glared at him.

"O-o-o-o-o-oh, you shut u-u-u-up!"

"Sadly," Master Hand began. "It's too soon for another world to be invaded, so let's explain everything to Samus."

"Explain me about what?" Samus asked.

1 hour later...

Samus was now in her Brawl form (that she thought shrunk the Power Suit a bit) as she caught on with the current events. "So Geno, Mallow and Twink are here to recover the Star Spirits..."

"Yes," Geno nodded. "We're down to the last one, but we have a clue about Kalmar's location."

"Hidden high above the clouds." Twink said.

Persona 4 - Deduction

"Well," Marth began. "The only place close to that description would be..."

"The clouds that followed the Halberd in Beijing?" DK asked.

"Most likely," Pit said. "Those clouds looked suspicious to me."

"It would make sense," Diddy said, rubbing his chin with a finger. "Considering that they're guarding it, the clouds that followed the Halberd could be the perfect match," Diddy looked at Chris, who stared at him with surprise. "What?"

"N-nothing," Chris shook his head. "It's just that you're acting intelligent now than usual."

"..." Diddy blushed and looked away. "Let's say I like to act hyperactive and serious when I want to..."

"(Yeah, right.)" Fox thought annoyed.

"Hey, I have another assumption," Sonic began with a grin as he raised a finger. "The clouds outside the mansion."

"Why the clouds outside? The weather is just strong." Roy said.

Sonic shook his head. "I bet something else is behind all that..."

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I agree," Falco said raising a hand. "I kinda think the weather outside is not normal a-a-a-a-a-at all. ACHOO!"

"If Sonic is assuming, then he is crazy," Mallow chuckled. "Remember the whole sponsor thing?"

"I tell you guys, it was him! That sponsor sabotaged the Olympics but you don't believe me!" Sonic argued.

"I don't believe it." Lucario said.

"Or me." Chris added.

"Or us." Marth and Pit added.

"Or neither us." DK and Diddy said.

Sonic groaned. "Whatever. Nobody can change your minds...but the day I'm right, you're gonna apologize to me right away."

"Suuuuuuuure." Twink said with a chuckle.

"Whatever..." Sonic said, giving up.

"The Subspace Bombs are activated through the robots," Marth began. "The question is why though."

"Blowing the bombs by themselves makes more sense," Fox got in a thinking position. "But why use the robots in order to explode them?"

"Maybe because they all have some sort of material that is required to make the desired explosion?" Pit asked.

Everyone looked at each other as if they found something.

"Wait..." Roy thought for a moment. "...I may be wrong, but what if the robots have something else in their...complicate systems...that is required to create that kind of explosion?"

"(A-ha, they found something important right there.)" Master Hand thought with a nod.

"Hmm..." Samus wondered. "Why, that seems to be the case. The Subspace Bombs could be lacking some sort of important circuit that only the robots have."

"Wow, Samus, you caught on so fast." Ness remarked.

Samus chuckled. "I like to be informed of everything. Knowledge is my greatest weapon."

"What about your inner beauty?" C. Falcon asked with a wink.

"Stop-the-innuendo." Ness said annoyed.

"And if the bombs lack that mechanism..." Meta Knight trailed off. "...The robots poccess something that can't be obtained elsewhere in order to activate mentioned bombs."

"Like some sort of hard-to-find item?" Pichu asked.

"Yes..." Pikachu nodded. "Now it's starting to make sense."

"Robots that are needed to activate bombs...but that have something else to get the effects they want."

"...Er..." Chris got confused. "Wait, doesn't that bring up another question?"

"What question?" Red asked.

"What is exactly the thing they have?"

Music stops with a scratch

"...So close, yet so far..." Link said with a bored look.

"Agreed." Squirtle said nodding.

"But see the bright side," Nana smiled a little. "We got one step closer to the truth."

"And I actually see a good point with all your assumptions," Master Hand said. "Never I'd thought that you all could decipher this complicate mystery by your points of view."

"See Nana? I'm smart." Popo said with a proud smile.

"Popo, don't make me knock that empty head of yours right now," Nana threatened. "Speaking of which..." Nana tossed a bag of Smash Coins to Chris, who gasped but managed to catch it. "Here. We got this after we rescued the others."

Chris peered inside the bag. "1500 Smash Coins... Not bad."

"...How come you didn't say anything about all this?" Toon Link asked to Snake.

"Because I'm trying to figure out if your assumptions are correct," Snake said. "Hopefully I have backup to see if it does make sense."

"It does." Otacon and Mei Ling said in unison through the codec.

"Then it makes sense."

"...Oh..." Toon Link said with a bored face.

"...Aannnd our cue." Popo said with a smile and happy expression.

"What do you mean by our cue?" Nana asked.

"WARNING! WARNING! WORLD...OR SPACE INVADED BY SUBSPACE ARMY! REPEA-" Master Hand stopped the alarm as most of them looked surprised at Popo.

"...What? I have other powers besides ice." Popo said shifting his eyes with evil chuckles.

"...He's just bluffing." Nana said with a sigh.

"On the topic," Ivysaur began. "What world is next?"

"A-a-a-a-a-a-a world where you WILL t-t-t-t-t-t-take me! ACHOO!" Falco sneezed angrily.

They all watched a new world...

?

?
?

"What is that place?" Mallow asked.

"By the surroundings, I could tell that is the space." Twink said.

"Hey, look over there," Yoshi said. "Isn't that Mario?"

"...Huh?" Geno tilted his head. "Wait, I know that person in front of him..."

Chris blinked surprised. "Geno, you know..."

"Hmm..." Mario grumbled annoyed.

"I know it is frustrating to you that we cannot access Bowser's main location," a voice that echoed in front of Mario said. "We were supposed to have 60 Power Stars, but it seems some kind of evil is taking Bowser's location much further away in our reach."

"But why do I need to get 60 more? It's going to take much more time and effort." Mario said.

The voice chuckled. "Don't worry. For our luck, more comets have appeared and unlocked new ways to new stars so we can reunite them all. And also, every single path to every single Power Star are now available for you to explore."

"I wish I could receive help..." Mario trailed off.

The screen focused on the person with the voice, and for some it was obvious from who it was. "It could be a test for you," Rosalina, the owner of the voice, said with a chuckle. "The Lumas and myself will support you on."

"I guess that makes me a little bit happier," Mario smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Rosalina."

"The pleasure is all mine." Rosalina said with a chuckle.

"Anyway," a black Luma floating besides Rosalina began. His name was Polaris. "Mario, tell me when you're ready to start the looooooooong hunt for the Power Stars."

"Okay. I hope they're not tedious to obtai-"

"Oh, by the way..."

"Yes?"

"Remember the new comets?"

"Yes," Mario nodded. "What about them? Do they require me to find something?"

"Multiply that something for 100, on each galaxy"

"...What..." Mario asked with a mutter as his pupils shrunk.

"You need to gather 100 Purple Coins in order to obtain the Power Star."

"...Ooooooohhhhhh..." Mario's eyes spun a little (but very slowly) as he fainted and fell on his back.

"I see," Polaris said. "Mario suddenly needed a rest."

Rosalina was only able to sigh.

Smash Mansion
Command Room

"Some kind of evil taking Bowser's location away..." Link wondered.

"The Subspace Army," Toon Link said. "For some reason that alarm was activated."

"Well," Master Hand began. "Let's see the status."

Super Mario Galaxy
Current Status: Mario was about to challenge Bowser, but the SA could be behind the delay
Race: Anyone
Number of protagonists: 2
Level of danger: Medium
Members allowed to dispatch: 9
Highly recommended abilities: Even if any kind of race can go, only those who are related to the endless space are allowed to go

"Uh-oh," Master Hand looked at the Smashers. "We have a shortage of those here."

"Hey!" Pikachu called out angrily. "Pokémon are from space!"

"That's just a theory," Master Hand said. "And it hasn't been proven yet, so sorry."

"Hmph!" Pikachu said angrily.

"That means I can't go with you." Lucario said depressed.

"...I'll be fine," Chris said. "I'm always getting out from troubles all the time."

"Okay...oh, wait a minute," Master Hand wondered. "I think we do have enough people."

"We do?" Lucas asked.

"Yes," Master Hand chuckled. "Buuuuut, I let Chris figure it out for himself."

Chris looked annoyed. "Wow, I didn't know you were so evil..."

"Blame me," Master Hand chuckled again. "Once you see me in Final Destination, you'll get nightmares with my super-creepy voice... And speaking of stages..." Master Hand looked away. "If you can bring Mario and Peach over here, then it's going to be the time where we will finally see the stages for each one of you."

Ness's eyes trembled in surprise as his jaw dropped. "No frickin' way..."

"Oh ho ho, yes frickin' way," Master Hand chuckled. "I think it's enough suffer and wait for you to ponder, wonder, and think. I have also another important thing to give you all in order to get even stronger."

"The stickers?" Lucario asked.

Master Hand looked annoyed. "That's it. From now on, I'll block my mind from you pesky mind readers."

"Stickers..." Snake frowned. "I knew this place was weird, but not that crazy..."

"Oh, quiet you!"

Several minutes later...

Many Smashers were talking in groups while Chris was talking to Master Hand. "What do you mean I should ask one by one to see if they want to come?" Chris asked.

"Well, you see, it's kind of rude to just name the people who are going with you without them saying if they want or don't want to," Master Hand raised a finger. "But if you talk to one, then another, you could raise the partnership level a little to get closer to complete it."

"Hmm... That doesn't sound too bad..." Chris wondered.

"Who knows," Master Hand continued. "You could get secrets out of them."

Chris blinked. "Like their pasts that weren't shown in their games?"

Master Hand nodded. "Exactly. You're a professional when it comes down to spend time with them. It won't be a hard task to you."

"Then thanks for the good advice." Chris said with a nod.

"Anytime, kiddo. Now go and buy something from my mentally-challenged brother."

"...Will do..." Chris shrugged as he went to Crazy Hand. "List please."

"Will do!" Crazy Hand said.

"I'll buy the items ability one..." Chris whispered.

"Oh, I see," Crazy Hand whispered. "You joining the mafia. I like that."

"I'm not joining the mafia!" Chris yelled as he gave 400 Smash Coins to the sick hand. "I'll buy the Sonic one," Chris gave 900 Smash Coins. "And the Healing Hit, since we had so much trouble with those illnesses." Chris gave 3000 Smash Coins as he glowed 3 times. His current amount of coins reaching 801 Smash Coins.

"What else, mah boi?"

"Don't make me kill you," Chris said with a bored look. "I think I'm going to buy the 2 different mushrooms."

"You think?" Crazy Hand crossed his fingers, like if he had arms.

"...Fine." Chris gave 800 Smash Coins and got the 2 different kinds mushrooms.

"You have only 1 Smash Coin left," Crazy Hand chuckled. "I know saving money is good, but only 1? Pfft."

"S-stop annoying me!" Chris said annoyed.

"Alright, stop the bickering," Master Hand said. "Time for you to get some help. Think careful first before deciding who will go."

"Why don't you tell me who can and who can't?" Chris asked confused.

"Because, my friend, I love to see actual wisdom coming from someone else rather than me."

"...Okay..." Chris muttered as he looked at everyone talking with each other. "Let's see, this one seems easy..." Chris walked to Samus.

Oddly enough, she started the conversation.

"My first time here and now it's time for me to work." Samus commented.

"I know," Chris thought for a moment. "To be honest, when Link and Zelda arrived, they didn't participate in the next world."

Samus chuckled. "It must have been annoying to them."

"I don't think so," Chris said. "They understood very well."

"I see," Samus said with a nod. "So, you taking me?"

Chris nodded. "You're possibly the person who is more related to the space, besides the fact that you're a galactic bounty hunter."

Samus chuckled. "Thank you for the compliment. Tell me when everything is set."

"I'll do." Chris said with a smile. "(This way to choose is actually very enjoyable...)" Chris walked to C. Falcon.

[DededeCloneChris]

"Hey, I saw you talking with Samus," C. Falcon said. "I presume you're taking her along, right?"

"Uh-huh." Chris said.

"Then you have to take me too!"

"I also presumed that by the look of the situation." Chris said with a bored look.

"Besides," C. Falcon grinned. "Snake can't go to this one."

"And you can?"

"Yep," C. Falcon nodded. "I come across many intergalactic matters all the time: from races to travels."

"Master Hand!" Chris called out. "C. Falcon can come with me?"

"Yes!" Master Hand called out. "He comes across many intergalactic matters all the time! From races to travels!"

Chris blinked confused since Master Hand repeated the same thing. "...You're in."

"Alright! Tell me when you're ready to go!" C. Falcon gave Chris a thumbs-up as the World Traveler ignored him and went...to Olimar.

"U-um... I-I do a lot of travels since I work for a company that gives me tasks to deliver many products."

"Like when Louie ate all the shipment by himself and he said that the rabbits attacked him?"

"...Huh?" Olimar got confused. "Wait, why would Louie do that? He knows perfectly that eating requested shipments is against the..."

"What?"

"...He didn't do that. Louie knows how to follow the rules."

Chris frowned in shame. "...A-anyway..."

"You want me to go?" Olimar asked.

"If you want."

"...I'll go," Olimar said. "I want to know Mario a little bit more. Tell me when everyone's ready."

"That's good and I will" Chris remarked as he went to Sonic.

"Take me!" Sonic said with a grin.

"...That's all you're going to say?"

"Well, I want to see Mario again."

"No no no no no!" Master Hand appeared. "Sonic isn't related to the space in any way. Sorry, Chris, but you failed with him."

Sonic glared at the hand. "Hey! I AM related to the space!"

"Give me one relation."

"I had like 2 to 5 fights in the space!"

"They don't count."

"What?"

"They don't count!" Master Hand repeated. "You need like, 8 to 9 adventures in the space!"

"Aw, c'mon!"

"Even if you're allowed to go to any world, the recommendations contradict your free pass. Even Meta Knight and Kirby can't go since they have that free pass like you."

"...Tsk," Sonic crossed his arms. "Fine..."

"...I'm sorry." Chris said ashamed.

"Nah, it's okay," Sonic gave him a smile. "I'll be ready the next time you need me."

"Thank you." Chris said with a nod as he went to Geno.

"Rosalina," Geno began. "I know her."

"You do?"

"Yes, I know her too," Twink said. "We stars have many connections outside the Star Haven."

"The Lumas are always wishing the most purest wishes of all," Geno explained. "We even pay visits to the Observatory from time to time."

"Rosalina is the sweetest person we have ever met besides Peach," Twink smiled. "Both of them have the same level of kindness."

"Then you 2 want to come?" Chris asked.

"Of course," Geno said with a nod. "We haven't seen Rosalina in quite some time."

"And it's a perfect opportunity to see her again!" Twink said floating up and down in excitement.

"Okay." Chris said.

"Tell us when we can go." Geno said.

"Yes. Just let me finish with the rest." Chris said as he walked, but then stopped and wondered. "Er...I-I don't know who else can come..."

"O-o-o-o-o-o-oh," Falco, who was sitting close to him, glared at Chris. "Hello? A-a-a-a-ace s-s-s-s-s-spacial pilot over h-h-h-h-h-h-here?!"

"...Are you really feeling well?"

"H-h-h-h-h-hell no!" Falco said angrily. "Y-y-y-y-y-you have to take me with you and out from this i-i-i-i-i-i-ice prison! BLE-CHOO!"

"...Anywhere but this place, right?"

Falco nodded with a grunt.

"...You're in."

"T-t-t-t-t-thank you," Falco shivered. "T-t-t-tell me when as always."

"This is the first time I talk personally with every single one of you."

"W-w-w-w-well, you get what I mean! ACHOO!"

"..." Chris backed away and walked to another way.

"H-hey!" Luigi walked to Chris. "I-I think I can go..."

"Hmm," Chris wondered. "Well, you're originally from that world so it makes sense. Alright, you're in too."

"Thank you," Luigi said with a smile. "I can't let Mario do all the things by himself all the time," Luigi made a fist. "I will help him!"

"Like the time you saved him from the ghosts?"

Luigi got a confused look. "Wait, I don't remember telling you about my own private mansion before..."

Chris sweated. "M-Mario told me."

"...It makes sense." Luigi said nodding. "A-anyway, tell me when."

Chris walked away...but then walked back to Luigi. "Wait, does that mean you still have that mansion?"

Luigi nodded. "Yes, but I gave it to Peach as a present for one of her birthday parties."

"And what did she do to it? Does she have it like it was before?"

"She turned the mansion into a new castle..." Luigi shuddered. "I don't know why she likes to have many of those castles...but actually..." Luigi shed a tear. "S-she demolished the whole mansion and then ordered a new castle..."

"...Weren't you mad that your ultra-deluxe mansion got demolished?"

"N-not at all," Luigi said. "I'll miss that small tent..."

"...But you just said you had a mansion."

"T-to be honest, it was a small green tent. But Peach took advantage of the terrain... B-but that's in the past right now. Tell me when we can go."

"(...Somehow, I feel SO MUCH sorry for Luigi than any other character here...)" Chris walked away.

"Sniff..."

Chris walked away faster after hearing that sniff. "Okay. I got Samus, C. Falcon, Olimar, Geno, Twink who doesn't count as a fighter, Luigi, Falco... 2 left..." Chris looked around. "But who else?"

"Not me." Wolf said crossing his arms.

Chris noticed that Wolf was in front of him. "Okay... Why though?"

"I'm rather tired by the moment so I want to recover my energies," Wolf frowned. "Being inside an ice wall isn't exactly the best place to relax."

"It is!" the Ice Climbers yelled.

"You shut up." Wolf replied with a glare.

"Okay...wait..." Chris wondered. "Falco is almost the same as Fox so..."

"Go with him," Wolf closed his eye. "You don't have another choice after my decision. Besides, I don't want to see their faces here for a small time."

"You'll rather kill them off, right?"

Wolf smirked. "You're talking my language, kid. I like that."

"N-no way I'm going to kill them with my own hands though..."

"Better yet, more fun for me."

Chris backed away from the psychotic "killer" and went quickly to Fox.

"You know," Fox wondered. "If I go again, then that would mean that I've been busy the entire day."

"That also would mean that you're a hard worker, don't you think?" Chris asked.

Fox chuckled. "I think so. I like how that sounds. So, do you want my help?"

"The more, the merrier, so yes."

"In your case," Fox closed his eyes and smiled. "It's the more, the better I'll stay alive."

Chris blushed. "H-hey! I-I don't want to die!"

"That's why I'm going to give you my help." Fox smiled to Chris.

"...On second thought, thank you for that." Chris smiled a little.

"You're welcome."

"Now..." Chris walked away. "I should think who else..."

"...Can I go?" Yoshi asked, playing with his fingers.

Chris looked at Yoshi. "Oh yes. That problem with you not being..."

"I-I'll try to get interested in some way or another," Yoshi said with a nod. "I don't want to look like I don't care for what could happen to the worlds... Everyone here could hate me if I don't show interest..."

"...If it helps, Yoshi..." Chris said. "...I won't hate you for your decision."

"...Really?" Yoshi asked, blinking in surprise.

"It's your own decision, after all," Chris closed his eyes. "Everyone respect each other's decision. Why hate someone who has a different one?"

"...You're right," Yoshi nodded. "I think I might find that interest that I'm looking for."

"I can help you if you want."

"T-thanks then!" Yoshi smiled.

Chris smiled. "I love to see people getting happy for my offers. You're no different at all."

"You're making me feeling much better. I couldn't be more thankful for that." Yoshi said with a happy expression.

"(I don't want to tell this to Yoshi or anyone...but I'm extremely happy.)" Chris thought.

Lucario, who was seeing Chris all along, chuckled and closed his eyes. "(You're starting to make a big change with your conversations from what I've seen from you, Chris... I should do the same very soon to learn.)"

"...Okay," Chris walked away from Lucario. "You're ignoring me so..."

Lucario opened his eyes in shock. "W-wait! I-I wasn't ignoring you! W-what were you going to say to me?"

"I was going to say that I'll be back."

"..." Lucario felt dumb for a moment. "...Oh..."

"So please, wait for me."

"...I'll do as always. Good luck."

"Thank you." Chris said with a nod. "Everyone, preparations are ready!"

The selected Smashers walked to Chris (Falco had to ask Fox for help) as the World Traveler opened the way. "W-w-w-w-w-warm atmosphere," Falco began. "H-h-h-h-h-here I come..."

"Push him inside so we can stop hearing his complaints." Samus said.

"L-l-l-l-l-like Fox is going t-"

"Sure." Fox nodded.

"What?!" Falco asked before Fox pushed him inside. "...Oh god! It feels warmer here! It feels great!"

"...Can somebody here order a chimney in Falco's room for the sake of his mind?" Nana asked.

Everyone ignored that as the Smashers went inside and vanished with the portal.

"Wait, where is Popo?" Nana asked, looking around for his somewhat mentally-challenged brother.

"Crap!" Master Hand said. "I forgot to make you listen to this new CD track the musicians up there finished!" Master Hand clicked a button.

Tal Tal Heights

"This music is for TL's stage." Master Hand said.

"Hmm, the tune is cheery. I like it." Toon Link said.

"TL?" Ness, Lucas, Nana, Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff repeated.

"I like how the letters sound to call Toon Link like that." Pikachu said.

"W-wait, you guys aren't going t-" Toon Link was stopped.

"You're TL." Pichu said.

"TL has some kind of good sound." Ness said.

"It does sound good." Lucas added.

"It's easier to identify you from the other Link." Jigglypuff said.

"It's settled then," Nana nodded. "You're TL from now on."

"It's LINK! L-I-N-K!" Toon Link spelled.

"TL," the younger Smashers said in unison as TL (had to use the abbreviation) grunted in annoyance.

"TL." Link teased with a snicker.

"YAAAAAAAAAH!" TL lunged at Link and both started fighting with their fists. Weird thing was that Link was losing.

"Why do I need the most insane characters in this tournament again?" Master Hand wondered.

Main Lobby

"Look, dude with the crazy costume," Popo began with a chuckle. "I know very well that you're not a clown, but a credit card seller disguised as a clown."

"B-but I'm telling the truth!" Chip (in a clown costume) said. "I-I'm not a credit card seller or whatever that is, but I'm a clown who lost his group from the circus!"

"We don't accept cards even so. Sorry dude." Popo said with a smile...

SLAM!

...Before he slammed the door at Chip.

"You WILL let me in some of these days! Mark my words! I WILL enter this place and get the help I need!" Chip called out with a fist as Popo hummed the Legend of Zelda's main theme while he walked to the kitchen.

Command Room

"Though we need more musicians. Medli and Makar can't handle all the music by themselves." Master Hand wondered. "But where are we going to get more?"

"DK," Diddy whispered to DK.

"Yes?" DK lowered his head to hear his nephew.

"How about if we invite those guys over here? Remember? They use instruments so technically they're musicians..."

"...Oh, right!" DK snapped his fingers. "Master Hand!"

"Yes?" Master Hand asked.

"Diddy and I happen to have friends who are musicians."

Master Hand rubbed his fingers. "Oh, I'm all ears, my dear ape friend."

"Kong." DK and Diddy said, correcting MH.

Super Mario Galaxy

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

Mario was shown being poked by the nose by Polaris. "Mario? Hello? Are you still sleeping?"

"My head..." Mario muttered as he got up and shook his head. "Oh, what did I faint for again?"

"About gathering 100 Purple Coins in order to get a Power Star?"

"Oooooooooohh..." Mario's eyes spun a little as he began to fall back...

Polaris gasped and quickly stopped Mario by floating quickly under his back. "No no no no no no! There's no time to rest right now! You need to get going and work harder for Princess Peach! Isn't she the main reason about why you're doing this?"

"..." Mario realized this. "You're right. Peach is still in danger and she needs me."

"Awwwww."

"Who said that?" Mario asked, turning his back before he found the Smashers. "It's you guys!"

"INTRUDERS!!!" Polaris yelled as all the Lumas in the observatory hid away. Even some Lumas hid inside Mario's hat.

"Intruders?" Rosalina repeated as she floated besides Mario. "Are you from Bowser's minions?"

"Rosalina," Geno began. "It's good to see you again."

"And who might you be?" Rosalina asked.

"It's me, Geno." Geno closed his eyes in annoyance. "...You know, the star with the hard to pronounce name that traveled with Mario?"

"Oh, I know you," Rosalina chuckled. "Sorry. It's just too hard to recognize you with your doll form."

"But I know you know me well." Twink said floating besides the princess.

"Twink, of course I know you," Rosalina rubbed Twink's head. "You're hard to forget with your appearance."

"(Even though there are many of his kind in his town.)" Chris thought.

Twink blushed. "Aw, please, stop. Don't embarrass me in front of them!"

Rosalina looked at the Smashers. "Since you arrived with Geno and Twink, that should mean that you're not in alliance with Bowser, correct?"

"Nope." Yoshi said.

"It's okay, everyone. You can come on out. These people are not bad people." Rosalina said as every single Luma got out from their hiding spot (even from Mario's hat) and talked between each other. "I'm sorry for the misjudging. We are currently in a big problem."

"We kno-" C. Falcon's mouth was blocked by Samus's right hand.

"Quiet. We don't want them to think we're stalkers." Samus whispered with annoyance in her voice.

"What kind of problem?" Yoshi asked (he knew but he had to ask and not sound suspicious).

One explanation later...

"I see." Yoshi said nodding.

Mario suddenly got an idea. "I know! You should all help us in recovering the Power Stars we need to find Bowser!"

"Do we have another option?" Geno asked.

"Besides, we came here because the Subspace Army is here as well." Twink said.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know that army." Rosalina said.

Another explanation later...

"I suppose they're the cause about Bowser's new location." Rosalina said with a nod. "Very well then, I shall let you wander the observatory from your own will. But please do be careful with the Lumas, they might get shy and even scared for some of you."

"We'll keep Fox and Falco away from them." Samus said.

"Hey!" Fox and Falco said annoyed.

"Good." Rosalina said.

"Hey!"

"M-my apologies. I got carried away..."

"Sure." Fox and Falco said with bored looks.

"Great!" Mario said. "I'll be so thankful if you help me with my tasks!"

"So long as we don't get 100 Purple Coins, then it's fine with me." Chris said.

Mario shook his head and closed his eyes before looking at Chris. "I-ah...n-no... I-I'm not talking about coins. What makes you say that?"

"...A feeling?"

"...Makes sense." Mario said.

Mario temporarily joined your team!

"So," Fox began. "How many times was Peach kidnapped again?"

Mario looked somewhat annoyed. "O-oh, please! Don't start that again with me!"

It was sure going to be a long mission for this time for the Smashers...but this doesn't mean the chapter ended here.

"My name is Polaris," Polaris introduced himself to the Smashers, who were apparently getting to know the observatory. "And this place is our lovely home, the Comet Observatory."

"I prefer the Great Fox." Falco commented.

"Too bad." Polaris whispered.

"What?"

"Over here is the garage," Polaris pointed at the garage, which was being occupied by the Toad Brigade. "These guys are using it though."

"Wait a minute," Mario began. "Luigi, what are you doing here?"

"W-what do you mean?" Luigi asked. "I-I'm here to help you, right?"

"That can't be right!"

"W-why?"

Geno looked to another way and his pupils shrunk.

"Because how can you be here...if you're right over there?" Mario asked...pointing to another person that looked like Luigi...

"...OH MY GAWD!" Luigi gasped as he spotted the other Luigi.

"W-what?" the other Luigi walked to Mario. "M-Mario, who is that guy who looks like me?"

The Smashers dropped their jaws in shock at this.

"...You know what this means, Geno?" Twink asked.

"What?" Geno asked.

"A Luigi paradox!"

"...That's it," C. Falcon said. "I don't know Mario or Luigi anymore. I want to keep my mind safe from unbelievable things from now on."

"W-wait," Samus began. "L-let's calm down and think again about this."

"That there is another Luigi standing in front of us, while we have another Luigi with us?" Twink asked.

"...This doesn't make ANY kind of sense..." Chris said with a bored look.

"Then again, this is Mario's world. What did you expect?" Falco asked, crossing his arms.

"Mama mia!" the Luigis said in unison.

"...Luigi in surround mode." Yoshi said.

"T-that's not true!" the Luigis said in unison.

"See?"

"...Oh, scallywags." Olimar commented, twirling his head to the sides. "I don't know what to believe right now..."

"...Er..." Polaris sweatdropped. "I-I don't know but we need to continue with this little tour if you don't mind..." Polaris floated away.

"...We'll see what we can do about this." Samus said.

Chris looked at the Luigis, staring at each other. "But I-"

"WE'LL SEE what we can do about this."

"Bu-" Chris stopped once Samus aimed her arm cannon at him without looking. "S-sure do!"

After the tour...

"...And the Toad Brigade will help you guys in any way with their ship," Polaris finished as they came from the library area. "Now, I have bad news."

"What?" the Luigis asked (they followed the group ever since they met. Twink told them not to touch each other as a warning, but they asked why although the Star Kid didn't respond).

"The Launch Stars can only send 4 people with Mario at a time, so Mario should decide who to take."

"That isn't going to be a problem," Mario said. "I'll dispatch the 9-"

"10" the Luigis said in unison.

"9," Mario said, since he thought the Luigis counted as 1. "I don't think that's going to be bad."

"CoughSubspaceArmycough." C. Falcon coughed.

"But if I need more, I'll call them." Mario said with a nod.

"Okay," Polaris nodded. "I'll be ready to prepare the Launch Star. May the Stars shine down on you all."

"That is what I say to Mario." Rosalina said.

"W-well, it seemed good and I always liked to say it so..."

"It's fine." Rosalina said with a chuckle.

"So what are our missions?" Fox asked.

"Get 60 Power Stars."

"How do we get them?" Olimar asked.

"Doing a lot of different things."

"Do you know where are they?" Samus asked.

"Yes."

"And how to get them?" Yoshi asked.

"Yes."

"And how hard is to get them?" Falco asked.

"Not a problem."

"What's our first mission?" Twink asked.

"Catch a Star Bunny."

"What?!" the Smashers, Geno and Twink asked surprised.

"Catch a Star Bunny," Mario repeated. "With 5 of us it shouldn't be a problem."

"But a rabbit? Are you making fun of us?" Fox asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, you'll SEE what I'm talking about." Mario said with a tone of annoyance in his voice.

"I know this isn't going to be hard," Chris said with a smile. "I mean, what can be much harder than catching a cute little bunny?"

"3 Star Bunnies actually." Mario corrected him.

"Oh well, what can be much harder than catching 3 cute little bunnies?"

Snow Cap Galaxy
Star Bunnies in the Snow

Super Mario Galaxy - Bunny Chasing

"THOSE 3 DAMN BUNNIES ARE SO GOING TO HELL!" Chris yelled angrily as he panted heavily with the others.

It has been a long while with Mario, Chris, C. Falcon, Geno, Twink and Fox to catch 1 of the 3 Star Bunnies. The 6 were at the border of insanit-

Persona 4 - Border of Insanity

Not the literal song!

Super Mario Galaxy - Bunny Chasing

That's better.

The 6 were at the board of insanity since the bunnies were ACTUALLY smarter than them.

Fox (who had a black eye for crashing into Geno) narrowed his eyes as they hid behind a snowman. "There is one of those bastards."

A Star Bunny was scratching its left ear as it looked around.

"Geno, you go for it." Mario (who had a patch on his nose) whispered.

Geno (who lost his weird shaped nose) nodded as he slowly walked towards the Star Bunny. "You're mine... This will be over... I'll make stew out of you..."

The Star Bunny's ears perked up and it jumped away.

"...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Geno yelled loudly as he started to chase the darn bunn-I mean, the Star Bunny around the capsule-shaped planet. The other 5 just saw the doll and the rabbit going in circles around, with the doll apparently being mad off to the extreme.

"Geno! Calm down! They're just playing with us!" Twink yelled (apparently being the one not insane).

"That is what YOU think!" C. Falcon (with several scratches over his helmet) said. "They're pissing us off!"

"aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!" Geno passed in front of them.

"Look, what I really want to do is to eat those bastards alive." Fox said with a glare.

"And I want to play a horrible tune to their ears!" Chris (hair pointing to all sides) said with harp ready. "Those rabbits passed from cute to stupidly annoying in my mental book. They MUST di-no, they HAVE to die!"

"There's one over there!" Mario yelled.

"HE'S MINE!" Fox yelled as he started another chase.

"How does he know is a he?" Twink asked.

"I dunno," C. Falcon said, narrowing his eyes to another direction. "But what's the point of saying that if THERE'S ONE OF THOSE NON-CASTRATED ANIMALS OVER THERE?!"

"Get that one!" Chris yelled as the 3 (except Twink) gave chase.

Twink sighed. "What I don't understand is..." Twink floated to a hole. "Why won't they lure the bunnies in this hole? The bunnies don't seem to jump that high, this place seems deep enough and they always jump straight..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" the Smashers yelled in fury as they continued to chase the Star Bunnies around.

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"So you failed to get the rabbits." Samus said.

"Yes..." the Smashers who went there said in depression.

Samus sighed as she went all by herself.

Several minutes later...

"She's done," C. Falcon said, polishing his helmet (without taking it off). "She probably is going nuts trying to catch those bunnies from hell."

"If that's the case, then I'm so sorry for her." Geno said.

If was not long before Samus came from above and landed back, holding a Power Star above her right hand as the 5 looked at her in surprise.

"B-but how did you catch those creatures all by yourself?" C. Falcon asked.

"Simple, I asked them to handle the Power Star, with some rubs at their heads," Samus explained. "They could tell I was a woman and they looked kind of cute to me."

"Right," Fox rolled his eyes. "They DO look cute."

Mario took out a notepad. "Let's see, Snow Cap Galaxy...checked. 1 Power Star obtained and 59 more to go."

"So long as there are no bunnies, it's fine with me..." Chris said sighing.

"Don't worry. With your help, the Daredevil Comets aren't going to be that hard anymore!"

Chris's eyes spun a little before he fainted.

"...He also needed a rest." Polaris said.

Yes, it was going to be one hell of a mission for the Smashers, Geno, Twink...and probably the Luigis, too.

Preview of the next chapter

"Pfft, a touch and you get killed?" Fox rolled his eyes with a frown.

"Yes," Mario nodded. "You have to be more careful than ever with that rule in mind."

...

"Olimar?... Where is he?" Geno asked.

Yoshi spotted a small red light sinking in the sand. "OLIMAR!"

...

"Enter...Bee Falco?" Chris chuckled.

Falco stared at him in annoyance. "I'm going to get rid of this ridiculous costume VERY SOON."

...

"...Oh no..." C. Falcon slowly shook his head. "...I must...think about something else!"

"Too bad," Samus said. "If you thought 2 Luigis were weird..."

...

"Smashers VS. The Galaxies of HELL. Am I the only one thinking that this isn't going to be enjoyable at all?" Samus asked.

Chapter 115: Smashers VS. The Galaxies of HELL

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"Alright, listen up!" Mario began as most of the Smashers were sitting or standing. "We have 59 Power Stars left, and we need to get them by separating into groups from 1 to 3!"

"Question!" Twink asked.

"Spill it out!"

"How are we going to get separated?"

"Simple, my Star Kid friend!"

Good Egg Galaxy
Luigi On The Roof

There was Luigi and Yoshi landing in the Starting Planet. "Luigi and Yoshi must go there and find Luigi." Mario explained as the 2 looked around.

"Wait, Luigi needs to find himself?" Olimar asked.

"Actually," Mailtoad walked to the group. "I received a letter that Luigi got lost in the Good Egg Galaxy after he wanted to help you guys."

"...But he was here a second ago..." Samus pointed out.

"Beats me how could Luigi get lost so fast. At least Luigi is going for Luigi."

"Luigi is going for Luigi?" Chris asked confused.

Honeyhive Galaxy
The Honeyhive's Purple Coins

Chris and Falco were shown in the next galaxy, finding lots of Purple Coins floating over the whole place as Falco merely frowned and Chris chuckled. "Chris and Falco must gather the Purple Coins in the Honeyhive Galaxy."

Loopdeeloop Galaxy
Surfing 101

Olimar peered inside the floating water with his Blue Pikmins in the middle of...the space while Samus was shown talking to Coach, the coach to ride Mantas. "Olimar and Samus will go to the Loodeeloop Galaxy and surf with a Manta."

"Hey! Why didn't you send me with them?!" C. Falcon asked.

Flipswitch Galaxy
Painting the Planet Yellow

C. Falcon was shown, looking down in depression since he was the only soul in the whole (weird) galaxy with the first Super Mario Bros. background, which really was out of question. "C. Falcon will try to turn all the switches in here to yellow. This mission isn't going to be that hard to complete now that I think about it."

"Then why did you ignore that?" Geno asked.

"Because I merely went to the galaxies with more Power Stars than the individual ones." Mario explained.

Space Junk Galaxy
Yoshi's Unexpected Appearance

Geno and Twink landed on the wooden planet that looked like a big Yoshi head, with many Goombas wandering around that later glared at the puppet and made dark auras around them. "There are some reports that unusual dark spores have been wandering around this peculiar galaxy," Polaris explained. "So please, do be careful."

"G-Geno..." Twink hid behind Geno.

Geno prepared his right hand as the Dark Goombas surrounded him. "Stay behind me. I won't let those things hurt you."

"T-thanks..." Twink said hiding inside Geno's cap.

Battlerock Galaxy
Topmaniac's Daredevil Run

Super Mario Galaxy - Speedy Comet in Orbit

"And lastly," Mario said as Fox and himself were shown underneath the Topman Planet, upside down. "Fox and I will take on Topmaniac, with the precaution of the Daredevil Comet over there." Mario pointed to the red comet, circulating around the galaxy.

"Pfft, a touch and you get killed?" Fox rolled his eyes with a frown.

"Yes," Mario nodded. "You have to be more careful than ever with that rule in mind."

Fox spotted a Spiked Topman, which looked up to the vulpine. "You there, touch me."

Mario gasped. "F-Fox! What are you doing?!"

"I'm proving you that this stupid rule about being touched one time is, in fact, stupid."

"N-no! D-don't let it touch you!"

Too late, Fox's right leg was touched with a simple touch by the Spiked Topman who jumped away as Fox grinned at Mario, who was worried.

"..." Mario was left speechless.

"See?" Fox closed his eyes as his grin grew wider. "There's nothing to worry abou-aaaaahh..." Fox suddenly fainted and probably was killed.

Mario rubbed his chin. "Let's see...according to Polaris, the Shadow Bugs should be possessing the boss here..." Mario looked down at Fox. "And since Fox got stubborn by my warning, and considering that I have...hmm...54 lifes left and the boss should be taken down by both of us to win..." Mario stared at no one in particular with a bored look. "I guess I should lose too so we can restart the mission...so...h-hey! Touch me too!"

One life lost later...

"I hope you learned the lesson this time around," Mario said. "Hopefully, this is going to teach you what you should be aware of."

"Look," Fox looked at Mario in annoyance. "Let's just beat this guy's butt and get out of here. Being upside down is taking all my blood to my head."

"That's impossible," Mario wondered. "The gravity here is the same as all the other planets. Besides, you seem to be perfectly well."

"And my little pinky toe goes waaaaaaaaay up and doooooooooooown."

Mario shook his head. "...U-um...Fox? Are you okay?"

"So fine as a darn tomato." Fox replied as his eyes spun (not in synch, actually one going counterclockwise than the other) a little.

"..." Mario grabbed Fox's right hand and both walked up to the upper part of the planet. "Maybe this is also the work from Bowser..."

Good Egg Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy - Good Egg Galaxy

"So where is your clone?" Yoshi asked.

"Ooooooooveeeeeer heeeeeeeeeeeere!" the other Luigi yelled above the house in the planet they were in.

"Why don't you get down?" Yoshi asked as he and the first Luigi walked in front of the house.

"I-I can't! You need come up here! I have something important to give you!"

"You do know that you're like 7 feet away from the ground?"

"No! I don't! It looks too high from up here!"

"...Are you this...pathetic?" Yoshi asked to the Luigi that he was traveling with.

"N-no!" Luigi said.

The pair, after finding out that the door of the house was locked, decided to explore underneath the planet, where they found a pipe leading to...a freaky dimension where they chased a long line that seemed to play a nostalgic tune to Luigi and even Yoshi before they came from the pipe that the other Luigi was close to.

"T-thanks goodness you came here!" the other Luigi said. "I can't believe I was rescued...by me! It's so weird!"

"May I ask why were you up here?" Yoshi asked.

"S-some Goombas tried to eat me down there, then I ended up here..." the other Luigi peered down. "A-and just look how tall the height is from here!"

Yoshi gave the first Luigi a bored look. "...You're going to get coward too?"

Luigi sweated. "N-no, why would I get scared of t-this small height, away from the ground?"

Yoshi sighed as the other Luigi showed them a Power Star. "Where did you get that?"

"I found it in this place," the other Luigi said.

"...I wonder why was this laying here around..." Yoshi said as he took the Power Star.

You Got a Star!

Yoshi, the first and other Luigi shook their heads once they heard some kind of music coming from somewhere. "...Can we go away from this place?" Luigi asked.

"Pleeeeeeease?" the other Luigi asked trembling.

"...Hey! I'm not your dad or something!" Yoshi said, crossing his arms as the screen panned out.

Honeyhive Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy - Purple Coin Comet

"How many do you have collected?!" Chris asked from down below as Falco peered from the highest part of the Starting Planet. "I have 35!"

"55!" Falco yelled. "I don't know where are the others, though!"

"Come down here!" Chris yelled as Falco jumped off, flipped 1 time in the air and landed close to Chris. "I think the walls have them on small cliffs."

Falco stood up. "Then how are we going to get them without falling?"

Chris spotted a Bee Mushroom nearby. "...Have you ever wanted to be a bee before?"

"...I'll tell you right now...no, hell no." Falco said, narrowing his eyes.

"...Okay," Chris went for the Bee Mushroom and he got a bee costume (that Falco considered extremely ridiculous). "If Mario is Bee Mario...then I'm Bee Chris...but that sounds stupid."

"Ironic you say that," Falco said with a chuckle. "The costume looks stupid."

"I-it does not! Look at my amazing flight abilities!" Chris's small wings flapped a bit as he...got above the ground 2 feet before he landed back. "..."

Falco looked about to laugh madly.

"...D-did you see how long did I stay above though?" Chris asked with a worried smile.

Falco blocked his mouth and looked behind him. For his luck, the pilot found a risk with 10 Purple Coins, 1 on each cliff, floating above. "Hey, look, I found the other coins."

Chris saw Falco walking to the edge. "W-wait, you're not going t-"

"Afraid yes, my friend with the ridiculous bee costume." Falco said with a grin and a nod.

"B-but you should let me go for them!" Chris said.

Falco rolled his eyes, stared at the coins and used Falco Phantasm to reach the first cliff...not, since the small cliff broke apart.

"UUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Falco fell inside a black hole that pulled him inside, thus teleporting him back to the Comet Observatory as Chris looked down and slowly shook his head in shame.

"Foolish fool..." Chris said with an apologetic look. "He foolishly fell in the black hole, thinking he could stand on the small cliffs by himself... Ah well, I guess it can't be helped for someone who doesn't understand the power of the bees." Chris said before he hovered slowly to the cliffs and did all the work by himself. Luckily, he was able to obtain all the coins, despite Falco being out.

And yes, he got a Power Star.

Loopdeeloop Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Bros. 3 Nostalgia

"Slow...slow...SLOW!" Olimar pleaded to Samus, who was riding the Manta at full speed, hitting the floating waves constantly, much for Olimar's dismay (and stomach).

"Quit whining!" Samus yelled as she crossed the finish line for the second time. "Don't distract me or else we're going to fall off course!"

"...O-off course?" Olimar asked as he looked off the track, to the big abyss of clouds that made him gulp in fear...then he spotted his 3 Blue Pikmins falling off and were killed when they weren't seen anymore. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"SHUT-UP!" Samus yelled annoyed.

Sweet Sweet Galaxy
Rocky Road

Chris decided to change teams with Falco for Yoshi (thus Falco joined with Luigi, which he considered...quite a bit...er...well...seeing this pair is actually...odd to be sure...). Both World Traveler and Yoshi stared at the big pieces of cake and cookies that created the whole galaxy.

"Yoshi, do you know what this means?" Chris asked (hoping to cheer up the Yoshi from his depression).

"What?" Yoshi asked.

"This means we're in Kirby's fantasy!"

"...Yes..." Yoshi said with a nod.

"(...That didn't work so well...)" Chris thought in shame.

"...Hey..." Yoshi's eyes shrunk.

"What?"

"Isn't this long platform like...going too fast?"

"Huh?... W-what the heck?!" Chris found the long platform to the Power Star strolling down at them at an insane speed. It was possible that even Sonic couldn't outrun the insane speed that the platform had. "B-b-b-but this isn't supposed to happen!"

"Now that I remember..."

"Huh?"

"It flashed purple before speeding up like this..."

"...The Subspace Army..." Chris said. "They're altering the missions here..."

"I thought the same thing." Yoshi said with a nod.

"...So..." Chris stared at the platform. "...Want to run on it?"

"Are you crazy?" Yoshi asked with a glare. "One step and we're going to be pulled back, and out from the platform to who-knows-where down below!"

"...You're right..." Chris wondered. "If only we could fly over it..."

"...Hmm... Why don't you turn into that creature again?"

"You mean...a Moogle?"

Yoshi nodded. "Yes. Turning into that gives you wings, right?"

"...Well, that's true, but I hate the job... Oh well, I guess I have no choice left..." Chris sighed as he changed to his Moogle Knight job and looked at Yoshi. "Now," Chris flew above Yoshi and sat on his back. "Let's go, kupo!"

Yoshi blinked a few times. "I thought you were going to carry me, not the other way around."

"...Are you crazy?" Chris asked. "I'm so small like this! I won't be able to carry your somewhat big body for a long time!"

Yoshi looked at the cakes further away from them. "What if you carry me to the cakes? We could use them as platforms to move."

"...Okay..." Chris sighed and got down, then he walked to the edge. "Alright," Chris flew above and grabbed Yoshi's hands. "Hang on tight, kupo."

Several painful minutes later...

"Uah!" Chris fell on the last platform, panting heavily. "R-remind me about not carrying you again... You weight like DK while I'm in this form...k-kupo..."

"Sorry," Yoshi said simply as he spotted the Power Star...and the Toad Brigade. "Wait, what are you guys doing here?"

"We came to find the Power Star!" the leader said.

"And why the heck didn't you use the Starshroom to lift us all the way here?! Kupo?!" Chris asked angrily.

"...Look! We found the Power Star!"

The duo groaned as they obtained the Power Star.

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"How many Power Stars do we have now?" Yoshi asked to Polari.

Polari looked at Chris, Yoshi, Olimar and Samus. "Well, you all have been doing quite an admirable job. We got 4 Power Stars so far."

C. Falcon came from above and landed on his feet, showing them a Power Star. "Here." C. Falcon said as he gave the Power Star to Polari.

"5..." Polari said with a nod.

Geno (who was badly injured) and Twink came from above and Twink gave Polaris a Power Star. "We're so sorry for being late. Geno had to fight Goombas that were possessed by the Shadow Bugs and they had a powerful ram attack." Twink explained.

Geno panted a little. "I need...to recover my energies..."

"Oh," Polari flew to Geno. "It's not hard to heal someone like you. Please remain still," Polaris flew around Geno and the puppet glowed for a moment before healing completely. "There, that should be enough." Polari said as Geno got up and looked at his hands.

"Thanks." Geno said with a nod.

"Okay," Polari nodded. "We have 6 now..."

"The only ones missing are Mario, the Luigis, Fox and Falco," Samus said. "What is taking them so long?"

"AHEM..."

Everyone looked behind them and found Mario and Fox, holding a Power Star that Polars took. "Sorry for making you wait," Mario began. "We had a lot of trouble with the Topmaniac."

Fox grinned. "But luckily, I ended the fight by calling my Landmaster when the Over Limit gauge was filled."

Mario sweatdropped. "But you crushed it after you called the tank... It almost crushed me, too!"

Fox got annoyed. "Hey, what's important is that the weird top is gone, right?"

"...I guess..." Mario said with a frown.

"Now..." Olimar sniffed (probably after losing his Pikmins). "W-where are the twins and Falco?"

"They're fine," Twink chuckled. "I mean, it's not like the next Galaxy is that horrible or anything like we've been through so far."

Rolling Green Galaxy
Rolling in the Clouds

"HOW DO YOU CONTROL THIS THING?!" Falco yelled as the trio (dumbly) rolled Star Roll with the Power Star that kept going to the edges but managed to keep the ball in safe green...but it wasn't that easy for them.

"MAMA MIIIIIIAAAAAAAAA!!!" the Luigis yelled in utter horror as Falco facepalmed but later gasped as they crossed a bottomless hole.

Comet Observatory

Mario looked away. "I just hope they aren't trying to complete the one with the ball, because that's the hardest one for me."

"...uuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-UGH!"

They all blinked surprised as Falco and the Luigis fell from the space and landed on top of each other (at least Falco was in the bottom).

"Guys..." Falco slowly opened his eyes and looked up to them. "These galaxies...are trying...to freaking kill us off..."

"Did you get the Power Star?" Polari asked.

Falco glared at him. "Oh, so the mouthless stars are more important than our own safety then? Wow, I didn't know you "Lumas" things were that unrespectful."

"Oops..." Polaris chuckled nervously. "S-so sorry for that... Anyway, you got the star?"

Falco dug his right hand into his pocket and took out a Power Star that grew in size and stopped. Polari nodded and took it with him. "Here's your star that was so utterly annoying to get. Who in their sane mind creates a galaxy with golf as its theme?"

Polari seemed to ignore Falco's rant. "Good! We have now 8 Power Stars gathered!"

"At this rate, we may find Bowser's location, right?" Mario asked.

"Of course, of course," Polari said nodding. "But...something is not right with the galaxies..."

"What would that be?" Samus asked.

"It seems that several areas around the galaxies have been...how do I put it...gotten harder to pass if you know what I mean..."

"Like the Goombas being possessed?" Twink asked.

"Right," Polari nodded. "The "Shadow Bugs" that you spoke of are creating lots and lots of troubles in each galaxy. I should recommend that the groups dispatched to each area increase to...hmm...3 to 4 members at least."

"I-I like how the idea sounds..." Olimar said, playing with his fingers.

"...I should warn you all about something troubling and alarming..."

"What?" Falco asked (after he got up from the Luigis, who got up as well and off from him).

"I don't know why, but there was something...a monster flying around the galaxies that's been roaming about..."

"A monster? Kupo?" Chris asked.

"Yes, it looked like, I don't know, some sort of big, flying dinosaur? I don't know what it's called..."

"Big flying dinosaur?" Mario repeated as he wondered. "...I don't remember any dinosaur, except the Dino Pirahna..."

"(...)" Samus thought and looked away.

"Hmm?" Yoshi looked at Samus. "Is something bothering you or are you thinking about that monster?"

"Huh?" Samus turned at Yoshi.

"So?"

"...Nothing..." Samus said.

"..." Yoshi shrugged.

Hurry-Scurry Galaxy
Shrinking Satellite

Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Bros. 3 Nostalgia

"UAH!" Mario was almost going to fall off after he stepped on a green platform that quickly shrunk and disappeared. "W-what is happening here?"

"The Shadow Bugs," Geno said. "They're here and they made everything much harder for us to complete."

"I don't like this anymore." Twink said with a worried look.

"...Leave it to me, guys." C. Falcon said with a serious face.

"Wait, are you going to do this all by yourself?" Mario asked.

C. Falcon nodded. "Yes. I'm the only one who can run as fast as possible from all of us."

Geno nodded. "It seems we don't have another choice but let C. Falcon do this one for us."

"...Well," Mario smiled a little. "You need to grab those rainbow notes and try not to fall off to the black hole. If you hurry, then you can grab the Power Star."

C. Falcon nodded and prepared to jump to the next platform. "Alright, I'll do this."

C. Falcon jumped to the farther platform and started running as fast as he could, dashing across the vanishing panels and grabbing the notes (that played a theme for some reason).

"...Huh?!" Twink spotted dark portals opening that spawned Feyeshes that spotted the captain running along. "C-C. Falcon!"

"Oh no..." C. Falcon said as the Feyeshes floated towards him, with their tentacles discharging electricity.

"If they manage to at least stop him for a second, he'll fall!" Mario said as he turned to Geno. "Use your bullets to shoot them down!"

"That's not hard at all." Geno said as he opened his fingers and shot a barrage of small bullets that hit the Feyeshes straight on their eyes, making them blast off as the racer managed to jump to a planet full of notes before sprinting to grab all of them.

"...There are more this time!" Twink gasped when a flock of Auroros appeared from a dark portal and flew towards the captain. The Auroros looked down and pointed their beaks at the captain.

"Dammit, I can't reach them from this long distance..." Geno muttered as the Auroros prepared to dive down. "...Wait, Mario, do you think you can swing me at the planet?"

Mario blinked surprised. "But that could send you right into the black hole, and my lifes are shared with everyone here!"

"That doesn't matter!" Geno said with a serious face. "I'll sacrifice myself in order to obtain the Power Star. You must toss me at them so C. Falcon can obtain the star!"

"...Alright...but please, don't get angry at me later..."

"(Beep!)" C. Falcon cursed once he saw the flock of Auroros diving down towards him at great speed.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Geno yelled as he was flung to the Auroros, where he turned his back and lauched his rocket fist that exploded close to the flock and destroyed all of them as he fell directly to the black hole. "Damn... Get all the notes!"

"Already done!" C. Falcon yelled as the black hole that Geno was going to fall into disappeared and in its place, a Power Star appeared.

"...Phew..." Geno sighed as he reached the Power Star.

Now they had 9 Power Stars gathered.

"Mario..." Twink made a worried face. "Don't you think this is getting...a little bit too dangerous?"

Mario chuckled. "Why would it get hard? It's not like there are impossible missions to do. I'm sure the others are doing everything just fine."

Beach Bowl Galaxy
Fast Foes on the Cyclone Stone

Super Mario Galaxy - Fast Foe Comets

The Thwomps and the Toy Boxes were going to an insane speed, stomping and moving around like they were in a hurry.

Chris, Fox and Olimar watched in horror as the first Thwomp kept pounding the floor 10 times in a second before repeating the process. It even looked like the block tried to destroy the platform it was located.

"...So, Fox, I heard you were the fastest in the whole tournament..." Chris said, taking several steps back.

"I-I'm a little bit old myself so..." Olimar took a steps back (lying, of course).

"So we leave this all to you." Chris and Olimar said with nervous chuckles.

"..." Fox stared at them with bored looks. "We're going to get through this, together."

"Are you out of your mind?!" Chris asked. "Those Thwomps are so going to crush us to death! There's absolutely, no, way, that we're going through those blocks of death!"

"B-besides, I-I don't want to die so young..." Olimar said (contradicting what he just said a moment ago). "...Oh, salty crackers..."

"..." Chris shook his head and sniffed. "I-I don't want to die like thiiiiiiiiiii-ii-iiis!"

"..." Fox facepalmed. "You 2, tell me something."

"Whaaaaaaat..." Chris sobbed.

"Have you forgotten that we can cross over the gaps with our double jumps?"

A record scratched and both sobbers looked up before looking at each other. "...Somehow, I feel humiliated and relieved at the same time..." Chris said.

"Indeed... Indeed..." Olimar muttered embarrassed.

Fox grinned. "That's more like it. Now let's go and grab that star."

This little and obvious statement enabled them to clear the mission with ease. Nothing was lost during their way to the Power Star...

...Okay, that's a lie. Apparently, Fox got crushed under and Tox Box and Chris wasn't looking at a Thwomp that stopped and tricked him to step below it and crushed the World Traveler. Olimar, who was fairly horrorized, was able to grab the star with the help of his Pikmins.

10 Power Stars and only 50 more to go...

Ghostly Galaxy
Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run

Super Mario Galaxy - Boss Theme

"DAMMIT!" Falco yelled once he was merely touched on his back and fainted on the floor. Samus cursed under her breath as she barely dodged a fist from Bouldergeist who roared in fury as the hunter glanced at the Red Comet hovering around the galaxy.

"I'm starting to hate this special rule..." Samus muttered. "This doesn't make everything easier, but harder..."

"OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Yoshi yelled as he pushed Samus out of the way from Bouldergeist's fists as the 2 slid on the rocky floor and glared at the abomination of rocks.

"Okay, this has gone far enough," Samus said as she prepared her arm cannon. "We need to take that thing down for good."

"But how?" Yoshi asked.

"...I've got it," Samus looked at Yoshi. "Can you swallow its rocks and spit them back at it?"

"Well, it's easy but I tried that already."

"What?"

"It noticed me and it almost crushes me with the rocks..."

"...Then I'll be the decoy."

Yoshi blinked several times at her. "B-but what if something happens to you?"

Bouldergeist roared angrily and it called forth several rock pillars from the floor, trapping both of them before Samus opened a way using a missile. "Quick! That's your chance to start the plan!"

"Uh-oh," Yoshi saw Bouldergeist ready to shoot its fists at the 2. "T-then I'll do whatever I can... Okay, I'm ready."

"You didn't sound that interested to me, to be honest." Samus said.

Yoshi gasped. "I-I did... It's just..."

"LOOK OUT!" Samus yelled as she pushed Yoshi out of the way before she got hit one time and was pushed away from the platform, directly to the black hole located underneath the platform.

"S-SAMUS!" Yoshi yelled worried as he turned his head at Bouldergeist, who laughed darkly as Yoshi closed his eyes in shame. "I... I couldn't think fast and Samus wa-"

A roar interrupted the Yoshi before he got crushed under a fist...

Music stops

"..." Yoshi's pupils shrunk at the extreme blow that knocked him out of cold before the screen panned out...

Comet Observatory

"Hmm..." Falco grunted annoyed as he thought hard about his "performance" in the last battle as some Lumas were staring at him in curiosity.

Meanwhile, close to where he was...

"..." Yoshi didn't talk after Samus looked at him. Yoshi was sitting on a step, close to where Rosalina was.

"So, you didn't attack it." Samus said.

"...No..." Yoshi said, looking down ashamed. "I'm... I'm so sorry... I couldn't do anything after you were pushed away..."

"...Yoshi..."

"...Yes?"

"...What you just said...I didn't feel any kind of interest..."

Yoshi's eyes widened. "W-what?! I-I was interested! H-how could you tell I wasn't interested?!"

"Yoshi, the way you say your words isn't giving any kind of mood. It's like you're not expressing yourself that well..."

"B-but I am!" Yoshi protested. "I'm interested!"

"No," Samus said, shaking her head. "You're not interested."

Yoshi's eyes began to fill with tears. "W-why are you being so mean to me?! Why?! Why, Samus?!"

"Pardon me," Rosalina said as she walked to the 2. "I'd suggest that you should lower your voices because there are Lumas trying to sleep close here."

"We're sorry," Samus said. "We were talking about something here an-"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE!" Yoshi yelled as he stood up and ran away from both girls.

"..." Rosalina blinked several times before looking at Samus. "May I know what is wrong with Yoshi?"

"He doesn't seem to show any kind of interest lately." Samus said.

"Interest? In what?" Rosalina asked.

Library

Not interested...

Those were the words that made Yoshi shudder in fear and horror.

The Yoshi looked at the chimney, close to the books where many different stories to tell the Lumas were organized. Yoshi looked straight into the fire and sighed as he cleared his tears.

"I don't sound interested?" Yoshi questioned himself. "But I'm here... I'm here to help everyone out. That is a clear proof of being interested...right?" Yoshi asked to the roof. "...Why did I even join the tournament? I was 1 of the first 12 that accepted the deal...but why, though?"

"Because you were interested," a voice spoke from behind Yoshi, who turned his back and found Rosalina, holding a book on her right hand. "You were interested at first, but later you got bored of everything."

"...You're right..." Yoshi sighed and frowned. "At first, I thought it was going to be good, but I later found that everything was...well..."

"Rude? Not exciting?"

"What's exciting about fighting against other people?" Yoshi asked. "I think it's fun when it's friendly, but..."

"Yoshi," Rosalina frowned. "You know very well why is your boredom troubling you. Maybe if you remember why did you join Mario before in the past, then you could grasp the truth you want to find so badly."

"...I honestly... I honestly don't remember why did I join this..." Yoshi put his hands on his head. "I don't know why did I join the tournament in the first place..."

"I see."

"...But I need to find some kind of inspiration to get interested..."

"Maybe I could suggest you what."

"Like?"

"The people you love the most?"

Yoshi thought for a moment. "...No. It's too used..."

"The places you like to go?"

"Not at all..."

"The events that happen around you?"

"Uh-uh..." Yoshi shook his head. "..." Yoshi sniffed and covered his eyes. "I... I don't have anything to be interested... I don't have nothing to keep going on... And... And..."

"And?" Rosalina tilted her head.

"...And if I tell the guys about this...they're going to hate me so much... I-I don't know what to do... The thought about hearing them saying, "Yoshi! Why are you so heartless about this?!" is just too much..." Yoshi began to sob silently before Rosalina petted his head a little. "H-huh?"

Rosalina smiled a little. "There, there. There is no need to get sad, Yoshi. I know very well that this isn't something you want to be part of."

Yoshi sniffed. "B-but then why did I come with them when they helped me during the Sports Festival?"

"Boredom."

"What?"

Rosalina nodded. "Because you were bored from the beginning."

"..." Yoshi looked down sadly. "...Yes... It was all because of boredom..."

"...Yoshi..."

Yoshi cleared some tears. "Y-yes?"

"Right now, are you sad?"

"...Totally..."

"Then...would you please listen to something I want to narrate to you and the Lumas?"

Yoshi blinked confused. "What?"

"It's the nap time for the Lumas and they want to hear a tale about one of my favorite books, here in the library. I'd like you to join us to our lecture if you want."

"..." Yoshi looked down. "I guess I don't have anything else to do..."

Rosalina chuckled. "Thank you. You don't know how happy the Lumas are going to get with you here."

Several minutes later...

"Mama! Mama! Tell us a story! Please, Mama!"

The library became full of cheers from the Lumas that sat on the floor or sat together with Rosalina on the small, red chair. Yoshi was the most confused for something that he didn't get that well.

"Mama?" Yoshi asked.

Rosalina chuckled. "I know you're confused at that. If you read the story, then you could find the meaning."

"Mama," a blue Luma began. "Can you start? Pretty please? I know this story is a good one!"

"Please! Mama! Tell us!" the Lumas pleaded happily.

Rosalina chuckled as she opened the book. "All right, then. Let's see what this book has to tell us for this night. Please, stay silent and listen to this."

Yoshi blinked several moments as he sat down, close to a red Luma.

Super Mario Galaxy -

                                   Chapter 1                                 

                             -The Celestial Duo-

                                    Page 1                                   

Our story beings a very, very long time ago with a young girl. One day, this
         girl spotted a rusted spaceship holding a small star child.

                                    Page 2                                   

"What's your name? Are you lost?" the girl asked the star child.

"I'm Luma, and I'm waiting for Mama. She's coming for me on a comet!" said the star child, who had been waiting day and night.

                                    Page 3                                   

       "Don't worry. I'll wait with you," the little girl promised Luma.

                                    Page 4                                   

At nightfall, the little girl borrowed her father's telescope and peered into the sky. She looked and looked, but she saw nothing. Hours turned into days and then years, but still the sky revealed nothing. Finally, the little girl sighed and said to Luma, "If we stay here looking much longer, I'll be an old lady soon." But then she had an idea. "Why don't we go out there and find your mother ourselves?"

                                    Page 5                                   

The girl and Luma fixed up the rusty spaceship, and then the two set sail into the starry sky. And this is how the search for the celestial mother began.

By that time Rosalina closed the book, Yoshi noticed that the Lumas were all sleeping deeply as he stood up while Rosalina did the same. "Did you like this chapter?" Rosalina asked.

"Well...I have one question..." Yoshi wondered. "Who was that little girl in the story? Her name wasn't told in this chapter..."

"..." Rosalina closed her eyes. "I'll let you guess it by yourself."

"Huh? But why?" Yoshi asked puzzled.

"I only tell this story to the Lumas here once I see the Power Stars gathered," Rosalina opened her eyes. "It gives my inspiration to narrate the way I do. The Lumas understand very well when is the story exciting, sad, or intrigating."

Yoshi blinked for a moment. "So if I gather Power Stars, you'll let me listen to the next chapter?"

Rosalina nodded. "Yes, for that, I need you to get 5 more Power Stars in order to see the next chapter."

"...5 Power Stars..." Yoshi nodded. "Okay, I'll look for the stars if you promise me that."

Rosalina nodded and chuckled. "Always for you, Yoshi..."

And with that, the Yoshi left the library.

"..." Rosalina closed her eyes. "Maybe this is going to teach him something really important..."

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

Yoshi saw Mario, Chris (in his Swordsman job) and Olimar landing from the space, handing over a Power Star to Polari who nodded with a chuckle. "H-hey guys!" Yoshi called as he walked to them. "Where did you go?"

"We went to the Bubble Breeze Galaxy," Mario said, shuddering. "A force that I couldn't find pushed me around with the wind."

Chris shuddered. "That was rather...weird..."

Olimar shuddered and nodded. "I don't want to see spooky things again..."

"Oh," Yoshi rubbed his chin. "How many stars do we have now?"

"11," Polari pointed out. "As you can see, we need 49 to go."

"(4 to get a new chapter...)" Yoshi thought. "Well, shall we go to the next galaxy?"

Not sooner he said that, Geno, Twink and C. Falcon arrived from the space and gave another Power Star to Polari. "12!" Polari said.

"The Buoy Base Galaxy was successfully completed," Twink said smiling. "But we didn't find a normal star because we found a green one!"

Polari noticed the Green Power Star. "Oh, quite rare. But since the Trial Galaxies were unlocked, I guess this has no value...for a Green Power Star, that is. It values as a normal one."

Mario shuddered. "Whatever you do, DON'T go to those galaxies. We're going to save them for last."

"...Okay?" Geno said confused.

"Where are the other 6?" Yoshi asked, looking around.

"The Luigis, Fox, Samus, C. Falcon and Falco are trying to defeat Bouldergeist with the Daredevil Comet in that galaxy," Polari explained. "They decided to fight it with many of them in order to pass the mission. In the meantime, why don't you go to the next galaxy?"

"Come on," Mario said, walking away. "We need to get more Purple Coins."

Gusty Garden Galaxy
Purple Coins on the Puzzle Cube

The group of 4 (5 with Twink since Olimar decided to stay behind) landed on the Puzzle Cube and they found a lot of Purple Coins floating around the cube-shaped planet.

"Alright," Twink said. "We have to gather 100 Purple Coins to clear this mission, right?"

"Yes," Mario nodded. "Nothing so far seems weird."

"..." Yoshi saw the coins flashing purple as they began to spin madly. "Er...is that part of what they do?"

"No..." Mario said. "They don't usually do that..."

Chris gulped. "Oh please, don't turn them all into monsters..."

The Purple Coins started to spin faster and faster and faster...until they stopped and vanished in thin air.

"..." Mario's jaw dropped. "...Uh-oh..."

"...They're there..." Twink said. "...But even their shadows were turned invisible..."

"And we have a time limit to watch before we gather the neccesary coins..."

"But how are we going to get them now?" Geno asked.

Chris sniffed before he buried his face on his hands and cried silently. Yoshi walked to him and patted his back a little as he sniffed. "Why...why...why do they do this to us?!" Chris asked crying.

"They hate us." Geno said with a bored look.

"With passion." Twink added with a bored look.

"And that's not all..." Mario began. "...We have only 40 seconds..." Mario added.

"...OH CRAP!" everyone yelled before they scattered around and tried to find the invisible coins around the cube.

40 seconds later...

"Ya-hooooo..." said a tired Mario who dumbly backflipped to the Power Star and grabbed it...then he fell down on his back.

Yoshi was shown laying down on the ground with the others. "Please...water...need...water..."

"I'm..." Chris began. "So going...to own those guys...for this..."

"Agreed..." Yoshi said, raising a finger.

Comet Observatory

Music stops

"...Look over there..." Yoshi said (or muttered) as the group saw the other group...apparently tired as well while the first group landed and gave the Power Star to Polari.

"That's 14," Polari said. "Good job, everyone."

"Shut...up..." C. Falcon said, sitting on a step as he fell on his back and sighed.

"So..." Chris began. "What ordeal did you all went through?"

"Boulders..." Samus said panting. "Trying to push, crush or kill us..."

"Dodge...dodge...dodge...dodge..." Luigi said panting.

"And dodge...dodge...dodge...dodge..." the other Luigi said panting.

"What...about you..." Falco muttered (his face on the floor).

"Purple Coins..." Yoshi trailed off.

"Turning invisible..." Geno trailed off.

"Time limit reduced..." Mario trailed off.

"That's it," everyone began at the same time. "The galaxies are out to kill us all for good...or annoy us to no end..." after that, they all sighed in depression.

"...You know what..." Chris began. "...Screw galaxies in order... I know something bad isn't going to happen if we go to any kind of galaxy..."

"It'll be the same result though..." Samus warned him.

"Whatever... Let's get this done..."

"Wait..." Fox interrupted. "Why don't you...heal us with your music?"

"..." Chris turned to Fox with a bored look on his eyes. "It cures wounds, not heals laziness..."

"We're not lazy..." Falco said, raising a finger. "We're just...tired..."

"I can't do that still..." Chris sighed. "...Screw it, I'm going to faint if you don't mind..." and fainted the World Traveler did.

"...Who's joining him? It may recover our energies..." Twink asked.

"..." everyone raised their hands before they all fainted and fell asleep.

"Hey guys!" Olimar came whistling. "I'm ready to go to the next galaxy! I decided to be more optimistic to cheer up the situation so I went ahead an-"

"SHUT UP!" everyone yelled from their spots as the captain took a step back.

Olimar shuddered. "O-okay... I'll be myself like I always do so..." Olimar played with his fingers before walking away.

Dusty Dune Galaxy
Blasting Through the Sand

Super Mario Galaxy - Dusty Dune Galaxy

Geno (without Twink), Olimar, Yoshi and Samus were shown on the disk-shaped planet as they looked around for the Power Star.

"Be warned," Samus said. "My visor is detecting several Shadow Bugs gathering down below this ring."

"...Olimar?" Yoshi asked, looking around for the captain.

"Olimar?... Where is he?" Geno asked.

Yoshi spotted a small red light sinking in the sand. "OLIMAR!"

Samus grunted and used her Grapple Beam on Olimar's helmet to pull out the helpless captain back to safe floor, where he looked fairly shocked. "S-sorry..." Olimar said with shocked eyes before they turned back to normal.

"What were you trying to do in the quicksand?" Samus asked.

"M-my Pikmins sank by accident and I wanted to rescue them, but..." Olimar sniffed. "They're..."

"...Moving on," Geno said. "Let's go."

However, something made them stop as they heard the screech of a beast echo through the galaxy. They all covered their ears and looked around for the source that disappeared.

"...W-what was THAT just now?" Olimar asked, trembling with his Pikmins.

"It sounded like a screech of a big monster..." Geno wondered. "But what monster is that one, though?" Geno looked at Samus, who was rubbing her (metalic) chin. "Do you know?"

"...What?" Samus asked as she noticed Geno.

"That screech. You know about it?"

"...N-no..." Samus said with a shudder.

"..." Yoshi merely looked down before walking to the other side of the planet with the others following him.

"(That couldn't been...)" Samus thought. "(...Impossible...)"

"...U-uh-oh..." Olimar took a step back once they stopped and found something that could prevent their way. "...T-they're here!"

The Scope Primids, Fire Primids, Boom Primids and normal Primids hopped a little and spotted the 4 looking at them before they all ran to them.

"This is going to get harder," Geno warned them. "Get ready. They're getting even more violent than before!"

Olimar was the only one who remained behind as he thought something. "(Okay, Olimar... You have to fight even more than you used to...although I haven't fought that much in my life before. Oh, I need to write this in my journal if I get the time...)" Olimar looked ahead and nodded to his Pikmins. "If you die, I'll pay my respects to you."

The Pikmins tilted their heads (as a Fire Primid was shown sinking into the sand) and looked at each other...before comitting suicide by sinking into the sand.

"W-WAIT!" Olimar's eyes opened in shock and he stood near the edge while a Scope Primid was pushed away by Samus's Charged Shot. "Y-you don't have to comit this kind of answer! I-it's not really necessary! Suiciding isn't an option and ignore me from fighting!"

"Olimar!" Yoshi yelled as he ran to him. "You have to come! Those creatures are appearing from everywhere!"

Olimar sniffed and pluck out 6 new Pikmins from nowhere. "O-okay... I have new Pikmins so that should make me happy..."

Yoshi blinked several times. "...Right..."

"...Yoshi..."

Yoshi stopped and looked at Olimar. "Huh?"

"Don't get upset but...when you yelled at me...it didn't sound like you were interested..."

Yoshi's eyes shrunk before he covered his head and screamed out in horror as Olimar hopped a little while the Yoshi ran to the battle.

"W-wait!" Olimar yelled as he followed Yoshi with his Pikmins. "I-I didn't mean to be rude either! Please, forgive me!"

"Geno Whirl!" Geno shouted as he sliced a line of Scope Primids with his ring that dealt massive damage and blasted them off. "The path is clear. Move!" Geno yelled as the 4 ran to the other side of the ring and found a path full of tornadoes.

"There are so many of them," Samus said. "And it seems the sand sunk the platform."

"Then...should we use the tornadoes themselves to cross to the other side?" Yoshi asked (now calmed down).

"It seems that way." Geno said simply as he jumped into 1 tornado and got thrown high to the air before he went to another tornado. The others looked at each other and jumped to the tornadoes as well.

Olimar's stomach grumbled. "Ooooooohh... I don't feel so good..." Olimar muttered.

"Don't you dare and puke." Samus said.

"I-I'll try..."

Yoshi's eyes widened. "U-uh-oh..."

"What?" Geno asked.

"They're here!"

Floows appeared simply from nowhere and flew to the group...and remained still in the air.

"...Nothing happens?" Yoshi asked confused.

The Floows suddenly released their screams of horror that damaged the entire group as they were pushed back to the quicksand.

"WE'RE GOING TO SINK!" Olimar yelled in horror.

"But not now!" Samus yelled as she used her Grapple Beam and quickly grabbed everyone and tossed them back to the tornadoes. Samus looked at the small edge where they came from and struck it with the grapple to pull herself back, where she put her right foot on the edge and jumped to land on the platform and jumped back to the tornadoes.

"You're not doing the same thing again!" Yoshi said angrily as he was propelled high into the air and used his flutter kick to give an insane amount of hits to 2 Floows that blasted off and vanished.

"Behind you!" Geno yelled as a Floow prepared to scream, but Olimar came from below and literally flipped a Yellow Pikmin on it that caused electric damage and defeated the Floow. "Good work."

Olimar blushed. "W-well, I wanted to help out more this time..."

"There's another hole up ahead!" Yoshi yelled.

"..." Olimar saw a circle in the middle of the area and decided to go once the others went to the other side of the planet. The captain walked to the area and sat down with his Pikmins before he took out his journal.

Day ??

Dear Diary, how have you been? This is the first time in a long time I write to you during a fight to get something precious. It's been really exhausting to hunt down these Power Stars that my friends and I are looking for. But that is not hard at all, because we all work harder and harder in each mission. I can't explain how happy I am to do this sort of thing, besides finding parts for the company... You know, the earth beneath me is trembling all of a sudden and...what the?! I was taken above a platform and...look at that! A Power Star! I probably activated a secret switch to it or maybe the others did something underneath the planet... Oh well, I guess I should grab it... There!

15 Power Stars were collected...meaning...

                                  -Star Bits-

                                    Page 1                                   

  Days passed with no sight of the comet, or even a single planet. Instead,
  asteroids extended for as far as the eye could see. "If I had known it was
going to take this long, I would have packed more jam," said the little girl,
                        above the rumble of her belly.

                                    Page 2                                   

Before they left, she had packed all the essentials: telescope, butterfly net,
      stuffed bunny, bread, milk, jam, and apricot-flavored tea, but...

                                    Page 3                                   

"I forgot to bring water!" At this, Luma burst into gales of laughter, and the
  girl began to pout.

"As long as I have Star Bits, I'll be fine," said Luma.
       "Want some?" The little girl couldn't stay mad after hearing this.

                                    Page 4                                   

Luma continued to laugh, and the girl couldn't help but join in. "Alright,
                             maybe just a nibble."

                                    Page 5                                   

  Leaning far out of the ship, the pair began to collect Star Bits with the
  girl's net. They almost fell out a few times, but they kept on collection.
                        The Star Bits tasted like honey.

The Luma fell asleep once again as Yoshi stood up and walked to the princess.

"Say," Yoshi began. "Star Bits are those rainbow-color pieces that fall sometimes around the galaxies, right?"

Rosalina nodded. "Yes, they're very important for any Luma since they have different uses."

"Like food?"

Rosalina nodded again. "Yes, it may not look like food, but if you taste one, you'll find out." Rosalina took a yellow Star Bit. "Here."

Yoshi took the Star Bit. "...So I lick it or something?"

"Yes."

Yoshi looked puzzled but then he licked the Star Bit a little before he felt something good. "...Wait...this has a lemon with strawberry flavor...and I was thinking about that too..."

Rosalina chuckled. "Star Bits can contain the wishes of the people sometimes. If you think really hard about something you want to eat, the Star Bit will try to turn into what you want."

"...Hmm..." Yoshi continued to lick the Star Bit as Rosalina chuckled to herself while the silent snores of the Lumas were heard.

[Triforce_Luigi]

About time we got SMG. Good job, so far.

Yoshi... bored of all of that?

He's wierd.

Awesome job!  I need to reply each time I read so I can "bookmark" it.  I get annoyed when it's hard to find my place...

Honeyclimb Galaxy
Scaling the Sticky Wall

Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Bros. 3 Nostalgia

If we think about it, the galaxy has 3 walls, so why only 1 sticky wall? Plothole time.

Er...

The screen focused to a Bee Mushroom that flashed purple for a moment before Chris, Falco and Fox landed in the small platform of the whole galaxy. Chris went to the mushroom and doned a bee costume. "Sorry, Falco, but you'll need the mushroom this time."

"Then tell me why." Falco said, crossing his arms.

"The Bee Mushroom lets you stick into the honey and climb it..." Chris pointed at the Power Star far away from them. "And reach the star over there."

"Wait," Fox began. "So if we use those mushrooms..."

Falco nodded. "Yeah. We'll be wearing ridiculous bee costumes."

"..." Fox frowned to himself.

"Well, excuse me!" Chris said annoyed. "Sometimes you need to be a little childish and wear this to pass something and reach something else crucial!" Chris noticed that Fox and Falco were looking at each other. "So what's your final decision? I need your help too!"

1 minute later...

"Enter...Bee Falco?" Chris chuckled.

Falco stared at him in annoyance. "I'm going to get rid of this ridiculous costume VERY SOON."

"So am I." Fox said, wearing the same costume but a little, but very little smaller since Falco was some centimeters taller than him.

"Aw, please," Chris chuckled. "You 2 look very good in those costumes. Right, Bee Fox? Bee Falc-" Chris sweatdropped once both pilots aimed their Blasters at him. "I-I mean, you look horrible in them. We should start climbing and get rid of these darn clothes." Chris walked to the wall, stared at it for a moment and stuck himself on it. "..."

"So?" Falco asked.

"...You know guys..." Chris started. "...This honey here..."

"Yes?" Fox raised an eyebrow.

"...This honey...is...so...DELICIOUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!" Chris yelled in pleasure as he started to lick madly the honey wall while the 2 backed away from the drops of honey that fell around the platform.

"...I knew these costumes were bad..." Falco said nodding. "Just look at the way he's licking the whole wall!"

A small drop of honey managed to touch Falco's lips. He licked it, closed and opened his mouth very little before his pupils shrunk.

"...Falco?" Fox waved a hand in front of Falco. "Hey, Falco, are you listening?"

"...HONEY!" Falco yelled in pleasure as he rammed himself into the wall and started to lick the honey madly while Fox watched horrified at the whole event.

"Falco! Chris! Both of you, stop it!" Fox yelled but it seemed like the 2 "bees" weren't listening to him at all. The vulpine gasped once he saw a rain of honey drops trying to touch his lips as he covered his mouth. "Ugh! I can't believe this at all..." Fox looked ahead of the wall. "...Guess I'll be the only one in this..." Fox sighed as he covered his mouth with one hand and stuck himself on the wall to go all the way to the next Power Star.

Several minutes later...

Fox came back with the Power Star in hands as he looked somewhat annoyed. "Those mechanical bug things tried to bite me, but they deserved the kicks anyway... Are you 2 done?"

"Burp," Chris and Falco replied, laying down on the floor as they rubbed their stomachs.

Fox looked at the wall that was completely empty of honey. "Looks like you 2 had a feast with the honey." Fox chuckled as Falco stared at him annoyed.

"You...shut up..." Falco began. "I'm not going to...use this costume...ever again..."

"Same...here..." Chris said, raising a hand.

Now they had 16 Power Stars.

Toy Time Galaxy
The Flipswitch Chain

Super Mario Galaxy - Toy Time Galaxy

Samus, C. Falcon, and the 2 Luigis found themselves in the planet that had 2 squares that crossed each other by the centers. The only thing that bothered them was the fact that, even if there wasn't any Fast Foe Comet, the Tox Boxes were rolling around insanely fast, but not as fast as before.

"The switches all over the place look suspicious," C. Falcon said. "Maybe we should step on 'em."

"That's the idea," Samus said. "But those boxes could easily crush us before we step on the switches."

"W-what if we touch the switches with a finger and then we pull it back before the boxes reach us?" the other Luigi suggested.

"I-I agree." Luigi said with a nod.

"...Hmm..." C. Falcon rubbed his chin. "That could work..."

"And since you're a gentleman, you're going first." Samus said.

C. Falcon grinned. "Yeah, that's what I'm here, right?" C. Falcon said as he went to the nearby flipswitch.

Luigi looked at Samus. "Did you just say he was a gentleman?"

"I used flattery," Samus pointed out. "It was that to see him crushed."

"...Sometimes," the other Luigi started. "You're scary..."

"Thanks."

"...T-that wasn't a compliment," the other Luigi shuddered.

"There!" C. Falcon yelled as he swiftly touched the flipswitch before the Tox Box could crush his hand. The captain walked to Samus and gave her a thumbs-up. "Mission accomplished!"

"Not quite," Samus shook her head. "We need to press the other swutches an-"

"Oh no, look at that!" Luigi yelled as the Tox Boxes flashed purple and suddenly grew up the double of their sizes as the group watched surprised at this.

"A-AAAAAAAH!" the Luigis screamed.

"Hey, what's the big deal?" C. Falcon made a pun. "Why did they grow up?"

"...No!" Samus looked at both of her sides. "They grew up because they won't allow us to pass them!"

"Oh, snap!" C. Falcon snapped his fingers. "With them this big, we can't even jump over them with a double jump!"

"...U-um..." the other Luigi started. "M-maybe we could use that..."

The group looked at what looked to be a Spring Mushroom.

"Hmm..." Luigi touched the Spring Mushroom and he gained a spring that covered his whole body, except for his head. "..."

"...You look stupid in that." C. Falcon said.

Luigi made an angry expression. "H-hey! Mushrooms always help in a way or another! Mind you!"

"So what can that mushroom help us?"

"Hmm..." Luigi thought for a moment before he jumped the floor with his head and then with his feet, then back and forth as they watched the green plumber jumping around. "This feels...weird...really weird..." Luigi said as he continued to jump.

"...Luigi," Samus began. "Do you think you can jump high enough to pass over the boxes?"

Luigi stopped and looked at the Tox Boxes. "...I-I guess. Let me try...HIIIIIIIII-YAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Luigi jumped high using his head as he rocketed pass a Tox Box and landed on the other side. "I-I did it! I got here!"

"Now go for the others switches!" C. Falcon yelled.

Luigi blinked and gulped. "H-huh?! W-why?!"

"You're the only one who can cross and touch the other switches! Go!"

Luigi gulped and looked down. "O-oh well... H-here I go... Wish me luck..." Luigi muttered as he went jumping away.

"...Phew," C. Falcon sighed. "We didn't have to use that in order to clear this."

"I must say," Samus began. "I rather die before using that weird costume."

The other Luigi looked at them. "H-hey! I can't believe you tricked the other me into doing this all by himself! H-he's going to get hurt because of you!"

"If you shut up now," C. Falcon's right fist burned with fire. "I won't Falcon Punch your head off."

The other Luigi gulped scared. "O-on second thought...nevermind..."

"(I'm going to apologize to Luigi later though...)" Samus thought.

After a time passed, Luigi came back with the Power Star and Samus told him everything.

"You 2 did WHAT to me?!" Luigi asked in shock.

17 Power Stars were gathered as of now.

Deep Dark Galaxy
Ghost Ship Daredevil Run

Super Mario Galaxy - Kamella Battle

Yoshi, Chris, Mario and Falco (irony in this group since...wait, this Yoshi wasn't the same one) appeared above the Ghost Ship where the laughter of a big, purple clothed Magikoopa came from a hole as mentioned character came down and laughed even more.

"So! Mario! You recruited some imbeciles just to get more pummeled than before? What a dumb man you are! That only will cause more problems for Lord Bowser!" Kamella said.

"Hey," Falco began. "Maybe we could ask her some questions."

"Good idea," Chris said. "Hey, you! Tell us if the Subspace Army is helping Bowser!"

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Kamella laughed. "Well, if won't hurt to tell you. Yes, in fact, they're helping us to get rid of all of you and conquer the galaxies once and for all!"

"That should clarify everything." Mario said.

"Give us the Power Star so I can get to see another chapter!" Yoshi yelled.

"Chapter?" Mario, Chris and Falco repeated confused.

"...Oh..." Mario remembered. "I know what."

"SILENCE!" Kamella yelled as she raised a purple barrier around the ship. "Time for you all to DIE!" Kamella yelled as she shot a fast fireball to Chris, who was pushed away by Yoshi in time. "Oh, the dodgy type, I see! Well, let's see how well you all fare! HEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEH!"

"The first time I get to meet her and she already is annoying." Falco said.

"When she calls Green Shells, use them to throw them back at her." Mario whispered.

"I'll give support using my songs." Chris whispered.

"Hmm..." Falco stared at his Reflector.

"GO!" Kamella yelled as she called forth 2 Magikoopas that chuckled before calling forth fireballs that went after the Smashers.

Yoshi swallowed a fireball and spat it back at a Magikoopa that got pushed back and vanished. Chris snuck from behind the other one and...his harp suddenly took a form of a baton and he did a 3-hit combo before the magician vanished. "W-what? A baton?" Chris asked confused as he looked at the baton.

"Dodge THIS!" Kamella yelled as she made a green mist that turned into a Green Shell and went slowly around to slam the Smashers, but they were able to dodge it. Mario grabbed the Green Shell and went after Kamella who appeared inside the barrier.

"Ha!" Mario tossed the Green Shell at her, but she quickly teleported outside. Mario landed on the ground but gasped when the Green Shell that he tossed bounced back from the purple shield and crashed into him, taking him out in the process. "Oooooooohhh..." Mario moaned in pain as he fainted.

"Mario!" Chris and Yoshi yelled as they ran to him.

"Chris! Can you revive him?" Yoshi asked.

"L-let me try!" Chris said as he changed to his Fonyc Hymn User job. "Return this soul from the abyss of de-"

"You WON'T do such a thing! Die!" Kamella interrupted as she called forth 3 fireballs that went after Chris and Yoshi, who gasped and covered themselves in fear. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! You won't survive these attacks after they land on you!"

"Oh, you think?"

"What?!" Kamella asked angrily as she noticed the fireballs being reflected back at her. This surprise attack made her back away to the wall where she screamed in pain. Back on the ship, Falco was shown grabbing his Reflector that he kicked to Chris and Yoshi to return back the fireballs at the magician as he grinned in triumph.

"I was waiting for the right moment to reflect back the fireballs," Falco explained as he walked to them. "I hope you're alright."

"Oh, thank you so much..." Chris said sighing in relief.

"GRRRRRRRRR!!!" Kamella grunted angrily. "I should've watched out for you, stupid bird brain!"

Falco rolled his eyes. "Who the hell do you think you are now? Wolf?"

Kamella pointed her Magic Scepter (which had the Power Star) at the group. "Come and get me!" Kamella yelled as she went high above the ship.

"Return this sould from the abyss of death... Resurrection!"

A sacred light touched Mario's body before he got revived. "U-ugh... W-what happened?"

"I'll tell you later once we get rid of her." Yoshi said, pointing to Kamella about to call more Magikoopas.

"I'll bring you down to HELL once I finish you all off!" Kamella yelled. "There is absolutely no DAMN way you're going to defeat me! I swear I'm not going to use fireballs or Green Shells anymore! Ha!"

20 seconds later...

Music stops

"No...way..." Kamella muttered painfully above the ship. "How did you...defeat me...if I didn't use my fireballs on you?"

"To point something out," Mario raised a finger. "You did call more fireballs, even you went to your usual strategy."

"And I went badass and reflected them back." Falco said with a grin.

"And you kept making Green Shells." Yoshi pointed out.

"B-but why?!" Kamella asked confued with rage.

"2 words," Chris raised 2 fingers. "Game-Engine."

The other 3 looked at Chris with weird faces but shrugged after looking at each other.

Kamella started screaming. "DAMN YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"Would you just blow up before yelling for so long?" Yoshi asked with an angry expression.

Kamella stopped and rolled her eyes before she exploded (which was scientifically impossible) as her Magic Scepter struck the floor and let the Power Star go to Mario, who got it and held it up in triumph.

18 Power Stars. Sweet.

Matter Splatter Galaxy
Watch your Step

Super Mario Galaxy - Space Junk Galaxy

Nothing.

Only the darkness and some pillars floating around the whole galaxy were the only things Samus, Twink, Olimar and Fox were able to see.

The Shadow Bugs changed the laws of the galaxy by preventing the spotlights from giving them the paths to the star.

"..." Olimar stared down into the nothingness with his Pikmins. "...H-hello?"

"Yes?"

Olimar's eyes opened while the others got shocked looks and looked around.

"Okay..." Fox began. "Who the hell was that just now?"

"Should we even bother?" Twink asked. "We're here to get the Power Star."

"But how?" Samus asked as she used her visor. "The darkness of this place prevents my visor from finding a platform to walk on."

"A-and we're here, trapped in a very small platform that is so thin." Olimar shuddered.

"Not to mention that creepy voice." Twink shuddered.

The Pikmins looked at each other...before comitting suicide again.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Olimar yelled as his Pikmins turned into ghosts when they disappeared. "W-why are you all trying to comit suicide?! D-dying is not an option!"

"...That actually gives me an idea..." Fox wondered.

"Me too." Samus said nodding.

"I even think I got the same idea." Twink said smiling as the trio stared at Olimar.

"...W-wait, why are you all staring me like that?" Olimar asked.

"You can call more Pikmins when you want, right?"

"Y-yes, so?" Olimar was getting really nervous.

"So, why don't we use them to see where is a path to the star?" Samus asked.

"...OH NO," Olimar shook his head. "There is NO way you're going to use my Pikmins as "path-finders" to die if they don't step on a floor!"

"Then we'll use you instead." Fox said (that actually sounded like a threat since he narrowed his eyes).

"..." Olimar looked back and forth between the darkness and the Smashers. "...I...I...I..."

"So?" Twink asked.

"...I'm really going to hate this so much..."

Dear Diary

Today is probably the most saddening event in my entire life. My friends, the very same friends I made before, used my Pikmins to find these invisible paths to walk on. I can't believe I lost 200 Pikmins who fell into the nothingness for this! The horror! The agony! My Pikmins! MY PIKMINS WHO ALSO COMIT SUICIDE BY THE LOOKS OF THE SITUATIONS!!! ...Sniff... Finally, I let the sadness out of my system... I must press on and continue after we obtained another Power Star... However, if they ever ask me to let them use my Pikmins...I'll be dead since I need more experience to fight them...

P.S: (This is completely unfair... Sniff...)

Sea Slide Galaxy
Faster than a Speeding Penguin

In the first time for a long time, there was a yellow foot in sight that revealed to be none other than King Dedede, who was grinning as he held a Koopa Troopa inside his shell. "I know those guys are gonna come here and use a shell to race, but they're gonna get surprised once the shell turns back into a turtle and attack them before they reach the finish line!" Dedede chuckled. "Yeah, perfect plan to stop them!"

Several hours later...

Super Mario Galaxy - Bunny Chasing

"You are SO going down!" a tough-looking blue penguin said to Mario, who was inside the river with the other penguins as he used a Green Shell (the same Green Shell that Dedede put down).

"A-and they..." Olimar sniffed as he told Chris what happened before as the 2 sat on the beach with the Toad Brigade. "T-they sacrificed 200 Pikmins..."

"(...My god, they're that heartless?)" Chris thought. "I-I'm so sorry for your loss..."

"Big loss," Olimar sniffed. "A big one..."

"..." Chris noticed Olimar burying his helmet (as odd as it sounds) on his hands and sobbed a little before the World Traveler hugged him and patted his back. "There, there. I know your Pikmins are enjoying the afterlife."

"...That's what worries me the most..."

Chris felt defeated. "...At least you can call more, right?"

"Just to comit suicide?" Olimar asked. "Yes..."

"(...This is really going to take a time for him to recover...)" Chris thought with a defeated look on his face.

From a nearby rock, there was Dedede spying on the group as he smirked. "Heh, now that the plumber is holdin' that turtle, he's gonna get surprised once it attacks him before he reaches the finish line. Nothin' can go wrong this time!"

"Hmm?" a Koopa Troopa with a blue shell and a red hankerchief walked to Chris and Olimar. "Hey, isn't that man in the water the same Mario?"

Both of them looked at him (and stopped hugging/sobbing respectively). "Um, yes. Why do you ask?" Chris asked.

"So he IS Mario! I haven't seen him in a long time!" the Koopa said with a happy expression.

"Pardon me, but who are you?" Chris asked.

The blue Koopa chuckled. "Oh! Sorry! I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Kooper and I was once traveling with Mario before in an adventure to rescue Princess Peach!"

"...Kooper?... Oh right!" Chris said nodding. "I knew I recognized you from somewhere!"

"Wait, you know me?"

"Mario told me about you." Chris lied.

Kooper looked at Mario. "Oh... So, what's he doing nowadays?.. Oh wait, I remember Peach was kidnapped by Bowser yet again when I was in the Star Festival."

"Hmm... Do you want me to call Mario? The race hasn't started yet."

Kooper smiled. "Really? Well, I have a better idea because I'm in the mood to help him out!" Kooper said as he dove inside the water and went to Mario. "Mario! Old pal!"

"Kooper!" Mario smiled at Kooper. "I saw you in the festival but how did ou get here?"

"I was hanging on to the rocks that lifted the castle and well, I got here after I woke up because I fell down the space and found myself here."

"Are you stranded?"

"Stranded? Well, sort of."

"I can tell the Toad Brigade to take you back to the Mushroom Kingdom if you want."

"Really? Oh, thank you!" Kooper said nodding. "So anyway, I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

Kooper hid inside his shell. "Use me as your shell to win the race!"

"(What?)" the Koopa that Mario was holding thought in shock.

"Sure!" Mario said as he kicked the Koopa Shell away (and outside the river that actually led it outside the water and the river) and grabbed Kooper's shell.

"This brings a lot of good memories! Sweet, sweet memories!"

With the Koopa that was falling down...

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

With Chris and Olimar...

"Why do I think that the shell had a Koopa inside?" Chris asked confused.

"I-I don't know..." Olimar said. "...Chris..."

"Yes?"

"Could you use that job that lets you use Pikmins?"

"Why? (Now that I remember, I haven't used that job in a long time...)"

"B-because seeing more Pikmins could cheer me up and put me back in the mood."

"...Okay." Chris said as he changed to his Pikmin Captain job and pluck out 6 Pikmins that joined Olimar's Pikmins and chanted something with their murmurs. "Look, they're trying to cheer you up."

Olimar sighed in relief. "Aww, that's why I love my Pikmins..."

Chris looked at Olimar with a shocked look.

"...In the good way."

Chris sighed.

With Dedede...

"DAMMIT!" Dedede kicked angrily the rock that he was using to hide but got severely hurt in the foot as he jumped and grabbed his foot in pain.

And 20 Power Stars were gathered after Mario won the race thanks to Kooper, who used the help of the Toad Brigade and returned back to the Mushroom Kingdom (wishin Mario and the others good luck). This also meant...

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy -

                                      Chapter 3   
                               
                                  -The Comet-

                                    Page 1                                   

A beam of light pierced through the ship's window. Thinking it was the morning sun, the girl peered through the window, only to find a turquoise blue comet shimmering at her. The little girl shook the sleeping Luma awake and shouted excitedly, "We HAVE to get that comet!"

                                    Page 2                                   

      The pair descended on the comet and found that it was made of ice.
     They looked high and low, but Luma's mother was nowhere to be found.
    Exhausted, the little girl sat down with a flop, utterly unable to take
                             another step. "Look!"

                                    Page 3                                   

   Peering down at the icy ground where Luma was pointing, the girl suddenly noticed clusters of Star Bits encased in the ice. "Pretty good, huh? Finding Star Bits is my specialty!" said Luma, beaming. "There's ice here, but it's so warm, I'll bet there's water here too." The two decided to stay on the comet for a while. Riding the turquoise comet, the pair continued their search for Luma's mother

"Isn't this chapter a little bit too short?" Yoshi asked as the Lumas were sleeping.

Rosalina closed her book and looked at Yoshi. "The length doesn't matter as long as you see this through, little by little for it to unfold properly."

Yoshi looked at the Lumas. "Are the chapters shorter because..."

Rosalina nodded with a small laugh. "Yes. A much larger chapter would make them fall asleep before getting further."

"...I see..." Yoshi said with a nod. "I'll go back and gather more Power Stars."

"Thank you." Rosalina said as she waved at the Yoshi who exited the library and left Rosalina and the Lumas alone.

Sand Spiral Galaxy
Choosing a Favorite Snack

"O don't loke thos ot oll." Yoshi said.

"Whot?" Chris asked.

"O don't loke thos ot oll!"

"O don't ondorstond you. Whot?"

"Nothong!"

For Chris, Yoshi, and the 2 Luigis, this was sure the oddest mushroom. What mushroom? The Boo Mushroom that turned them all into big floating-ghostly faces with their tongues sticking out.

And oddly enough, it was so hard to pull their tongues back to their mouths. That even raised the question about why Boos can talk with their tongues sticking out.

"Look!" Luigi yelled as he evaded a fireball from a Magikoopa. "Oh mo god!"

"SOMOBODO SOVO MO!" the other Luigi yelled.

"Shot op!" Chris yelled. "Ot's hord to ondorstond ovoryono horo olroodo!"

Yoshi floated upwards as he evaded another fireball, that grew him angry. "Thot's OT!" Yoshi said angrily as he reached a Bee Mushroom and doned a be suit. "You come over here!" Yoshi taunted the Magikoopa before he shot his tongue straight into the magician and swallowed him to turn the Magikoopa into an egg that he carried on his back.

"Yoo know?" the other Luigi began as he looked at Yoshi landing on a platform inside the tunnel. "Boong o boo os o good odoo."

"Whot?" Chris asked confused.

"..." the other Luigi motioned at the Bee Mushroom and Chris got the idea.

Soemtime later, the quartet found a big spiral with the Power Star on its middle after they got out from the tunnel as they looked around. "...This is so simple..." Yoshi said.

The spiral flashed purple and its speed rose up at a very insane rate, to the point stepping on it could cause someone to puke.

"..." Chris and the other Luigis took a step back.

Yoshi rolled his eyes. "We're still using the Bee Mushroom so why don't we just fly all the way there?"

"...Phew," Chris wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I should've thought about this when I played this game."

"Game?" the others questioned him.

"...I-I mean...let's go!" Chris said as he slowly flew to the Power Star and took it, stopping the spiral from spinning in the process as the 4 sighed in unison. "...You know, Yoshi, you look good with the bee suit o-"

Yoshi decided to swallow Chris after the "rude" comment about the suit he hated. The Luigis looked at Yoshi with shocked looks. "What? Are you going to say the same or what?"

Luigi trembled a little. "B-but I like the suit..."

"M-me too..." the other Luigi said, playing with his fingers while Yoshi frowned.

"Get me out!" Chris yelled inside the egg. "Seriously! I hate small places, but not as much as Sonic does!"

21 Power Stars. Good progress.

Freezeflame Galaxy
The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr

Super Mario Galaxy - Melty Molden Galaxy

Falco sniffed and wiped some tears from his eyes.

His eyes reflected the inferno of lava that floated in the galaxy. That big rock of heat was going to be heaven for him...

...But those tears weren't of joy...

Those tears were of sadness...since he, Fox, Samus and C. Falcon were stuck in the mountain planet with what Falco hated the most: ice.

"WHY CAN'T W-" Falco's mouth was blocked by C. Falcon's hand.

"Shut up," C. Falcon shifted his eyes. "You could cause an avalanche and bury all of us under snow. You want that?"

"...Okay, man..." Falco sighed slowly. "...I have to stay calm...and endure this... We just need to...get to the top...melt that ice thing with the crown...and we get out of here...right?"

Fox patted Falco's right shoulder and nodded. "Right. We're going to finish this one faster."

"...Thanks." Falco said with a sigh of relief.

"By the way," C. Falcon looked around. "Where's Samus?"

"You mean her?" Falco asked as he pointed at an icicle...with Samus inside. "S-Samus!"

Fox walked to the icicle. "What happened to her? Why is she trapped in the ice?" Fox asked as he examined the ice.

Not long after he said that, Brrr Bits appeared and slowly floated to him. "I bet those guys did this to Samus!" C. Falcon said with a fist.

Falco rolled his eyes (and somehow was able to go back to his "cool" state quickly) and crossed his arms. "These monsters can't even froze someone that fast. Don't think this is going to be some kind o-" Falco was cut off as the Brrr Bits merely spat 2 drops, each one at C. Falcon and Fox who just remained there...and got instantly frozen before the bits obtained a shadowy aura that Falco quickly recognized...

...But that wasn't important to him for now...

"...Crap..." Falco muttered as he backed away. "Those things got Shadow Bugs and probably..." Falco gulped. "T-they can freeze anyone with their icy saliva..."

The Brrr Bits got even closer to Falco and the avian looked around for something to attack back. The only thing he found was...

...An Ice Mushroom...

"..." Falco looked at no one in particular. "...Better sooner than later, I guess... I'm going to hate this even more than the bee powers..." Falco said as he quickly reached the Ice Mushroom and turned him into Ice Falco (these 2 definitions didn't go together at all) and he looked at his transparent ice self. "...Hmm..." Falco touched the water and it froze to make a path. "...Wait..." Falco began to slid quickly around the ice as he then thought that being of ice wasn't such a bad feeling as he grinned. "Hey! This ice isn't even that cold at all... It feels so good!"

The Brrr Bits seemed to chase the avian as he looked over his shoulder and taunted them to get him. The Brrr Bits shot ice mist from behind in anger and they chased the pilot around until Falco jumped from the water and made them all crash into the wall, and into pieces as Falco landed back on the floor and chuckled.

Falco looked at his hand and made a fist while he chuckled and walked to the water, where he made a path. "...Nobody will make fun of me anymore with the ice..." Falco punched the air above him with his fist. "Because the ice is afraid of me since it's my servant and slave! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-"

His small evil speech was interrupted as he saw himself turning back into normal and remained in the same position without even moving. The Ice Mushroom's effect stopped and vanished.

"..." Falco looked down...at the very cold water after the platfrom vanished and the fact that he was far away from safe land. "...SHI-" Falco fell down inside and he flailed his arms around. "HELP! HELP! T-THE WATER IS SO COLD! S-S-S-S-SOMEBODY GIVE ME BACK MY ICE POWERS! I-I-I-I-I BEG OF YOU! H-H-H-H-H-HEEEEEEEEELP!"

Back to the icicles, the one where Fox was inside suddenly began to melt before the vulpine broke out using Fire Fox and landed back on his right knee and looked around. "...Falco?"

The icicles with C. Falcon and Samus began to melt as well as C. Falcon used Falcon Kick to push himself out while Samus shook herself a little. "Good thing this suit contains anti-freeze capabilities so it lets me survive if I get frozen." Samus said.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!"

"...How did he get over there?" C. Falcon asked confused.

After getting Falco out...

"ACHOO!" Falco sneezed.

Fox rolled his eyes. "Ice powers, yeah, right."

"B-but it's the truth!" Falco said. "I had ice powers before and they didn't feel cold at all!" Falco pointed at the Ice Mushroom. "That thing over there! It gave those powers!"

"Falco..." Fox frowned and walked Falco to the edge of the planet. "I think you need to rest for now. The cold is really getting to your head."

"...Fox..." Falco shook his head slowly as he looked down to the black hole. "...Y-you're not going t-"

"Bye!"

KICK!

"I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt...." Falco's voice echoed as he was pulled inside the black hole and appeared in the observatory.

"That was the only way to cure him," Samus said. "I thought his hate about the cold was just a joke, but I didn't think it could be so bad..."

"Who cares?" C. Falcon asked rhetorically. "Samus, use your grapple and let's climb this mountain."

Samus aimed her gun upwards. "I'd like you to be this focused for once."

"If I do this more often there's a possibility that you're going to fall in love with me and go on a date?"

"...We'll see."

"(Yes!)" C. Falcon thought triumphaly as the trio used Samus's Grapple Beam at full advantage to clear the mission.

With a Falcon Punch of fire to Baron Brrr and some Fire Foxes, they got the 22th Power Star.

...But why wasn't Baron Brrr possessed like the Brrr Bits?...

Boo's Boneyard Galaxy
Racing the Spooky Speedster

Super Mario Galaxy - Bunny Chasing

Mario, the Luigis and Geno were trying to beat the Spooky Speedster in a race downwards...using the Boo Mushrooms.

"Horro! Ho's gottong owoy!" Mario yelled.

"Whot?!" Luigi asked.

"Oh no! Wo'ro goong to loso!" the other Luigi gasped as the Spooky Speedster descended quickly through the tunnel.

"Thos os tho worso goloxo ovor!" Geno complained.

"Whot?!" Luigi asked.

"Forgot ot!"

"Whot?!"

"DOMMOT!" Geno cursed as the quartet descended slowly and tried to catch up with the Spooky Speedster as fast as they could...float down.

"Heheheheheh!" the Spooky Speedster chuckled. "You guys won't beat me in this! No way! I just hope you don't use the shortcuts to the finish line!"

"..." the 4 looked at a hole that went all the way down to the finish line that also included a strong wind current, fast enough to take them quickly. The 4 entered inside the hole and instantly reached the finish line, where the Spooky Speedster gasped once he saw them waiting for him.

"B-but no!" the Spooky Speedster said as he sniffed. "T-this is the 47th time I got defeated like this! I-it's not fair!"

"Moybo of you stop tollong tho pooplo aboot thoso shortcots thon you coold won." Geno explained.

"S-sniff..." the Spooky Speedster sniffed. "M-maybe so... I need to being an idiot and keep my mouth shut..."

Mario went to him and patted his back. "Thoro, thoro. You loornod your losson now. Wo'ro oll cloor now?"

The Spooky Speedster wiped some tears and nodded. "Y-yes... I-I guess so... Hey!" he smiled. "I feel so much better after resolving that problem out of my troubles! Thank you, you guys! Here!" he took a Power Star from his back. "Take this as your reward for winning the race, but most important, the invaluable lesson you've taught me today!"
^
"Oll roght!" the Luigis cheered as they took the Power Star from the happy Spooky Speedster.

23 Power Stars were gathered.

Battlerock Galaxy
Battlerock's Garbage Dump

Super Mario Galaxy - Battlerock Galaxy

The Gearmo was crying after Chris, Samus, Twink and Geno saw the huge pile of trash that almost covered the whole platform they were in. "A-and those purple creatures just came out from nowhere and t-they dropped all this garbage on my garbage!" the Gearmo complained as it buried its face into his hands. "I-I don't know how am I going to clean all this mess!"

"...Hmm..." Samus looked at her arm cannon and she fired a Super Missile that exploded 10 percent of the pile.

"Tell you what," the Gearmo began as it quickly returned back to normal. "I'll give you a star if you destroy the garbage in less than 5 seconds."

"Hey!" Chris glared at the Gearmo. "That's not fair with the time limit!"

"Why is it not fair?" the Gearmo asked annoyed. "It's good to challenge unusual people like all of you into doing something like destroying all this garbage!"

"But the galaxies are in danger!" Twink said. "We need the star!"

"Not my problem. That is YOUR problem and not mine."

"Can we just steal it from him?"

Geno shook his head. "No. We accept the challenge."

"Great!" the Gearmo said happily as the countdown started.

"W-wait!" Chris interrupted. "There's no way we can finish all of this i-"

"GENO FLASH!" Geno yelled as they all noticed that he turned into a cannon and shot a small fire that quickly grew in size (that blinked) before expanding, creating a big explosion that cleared the platform from the garbage before the countdown could end. Geno backflipped and turned back to normal.

"...That had to be the most, awesome attack ever..." Chris said surprised.

"Sweet!" the Gearmo exclaimed happily. "You didn't use the bombs that I forgot to provide you!"

"Yes, that hopefully will teach yo-hey! You cheated!"

The Gearmo ignored Chris and gave Geno the Power Star. "Here! Thank you for cleaning out the garbage for me!"

"Thanks." Geno said with a nod.

"...Wait," Chris wondered. "There's a similar mission in the Dreadnought Galaxy so... Geno."

"Yes?"

"Do you think you can do that attack again?"

Geno nodded. "I have enough energy to do 9 more. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I was wondering if you could..."

Dreadnought Galaxy
Dreadnought's Garbage Dump

"GENO FLASH!"

A large explosion vanished the other big pile of dump (that Chris predicted well since the same happened in this galaxy as the Battlerock Galaxy) while another different Gearmo cheered.

"Oh, thank goodness! I didn't want to clean it myself!" the Gearmo said with a happy expression.

"..." Chris closed his eyes in annoyance as Samus got the Power Star from the Gearmo.

They gathered the 24th and 25th Power Stars...

-The Dream-

                                    Page 1                                   

One night, the girl dreamed about her own mother. "Where are you going?" she asked her mother's retreating back.

Without turning, her mother replied, "Don't fret, dearest. I'm not going anywhere. I'm always watching over you, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night."

                                    Page 2                                   

A wave of sadness washed over the girl. "What about when it rains, and I can't see the sun or the moon?" Her mother thought for a moment before responding.

                                    Page 3                                   

   "I will turn into a star in the clouds and wait for your tears to dry."

                                    Page 4                                   

When she awoke, the girl's face was damp with tears. "You have Star Bits in your eyes!" said Luma to the girl.
Wiping her face, the girl replied, "These
  are tears, not Star Bits. I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever
      again!"

At this, Luma began to cry too. "Mama, oh, Mama... Waaaah!"

The pair traveled through the starry skies, and though they encountered many other comets, not one of them held Luma's mother. Luma was despondent. "Now, now, Luma. the rain clouds won't go away if you keep crying," the girl said, giving Luma a squeeze. "I'll give you a present if you stop." The girl closed her eyes and said gently, "I'll take care of you." With these words, she felt a small spark in her heart.

"Her mother...was..." Yoshi trailed off.

Rosalina nodded. "...Yes... Her mother wasn't walking the earth anymore... The girl was really sad by this that nothing could make her happy again..."

"But what could happen if she says that her mother is de-"

"Only the book can tell you that."

"..." Yoshi made a worried face.

Rosalina closed her eyes. "Maybe this story won't end in a sad ending..."

"...I'll keep gathering more Power Stars to see what's next..." Yoshi said as he slowly walked away from the library.

"..." Rosalina opened her eyes and looked at the chimney, before looking at the sleeping Lumas. "...I must revive this saddening moment of my..." Rosalina shook her head slowly. "...In order to make him understand what I'm trying to teach him..."

Good Egg Galaxy
Purple Coin Omelet

Super Mario Galaxy - Purple Coin Comet

Now, all the Smashers had in mind to gather all the Purple Coins from all the Galaxies. There were still some galaxies with Power Stars not involving the coins.

Right now, the Luigis, Fox and Olimar were facing a new diffculty...

...The Purple Coins were constantly moving from their easy track that used to have all of them lined up.

"Dammit!" Fox cursed as he failed to grab a Purple Coin before he landed on the Egg Planet. "Those coins can't stop moving!"

His voice echoed through the galaxy that reached the others, who were trying to grab their coins as well. "We have to calculate the time the Launch Star blasts us at the right moment to grab the coins!" the other Luigi yelled from the Rock Planet.

"I-I just hope this doesn't take too long!" Olimar yelled as he was shown flying through a track of moving coins as he noticed that he missed one. "Oh, eggs inside pants!"

"T-that's a sick innuendo!" Luigi yelled.

Olimar gasped. "W-wait! F-forget what I mean!"

Space Junk Galaxy
Purple Coin Spacewalk

"Oh, come on!" Chris yelled annoyed. "How can we grab the coins if they're constantly teleporting around?"

In fact, the coins were teleporting from place to place, and it seemed to be actually hard for the World Traveler, Geno and Twink.

"Hurry! There's a countdown too!" Geno yelled as the 3 proceeded to grab the fast-moving coins.

Battlerock Galaxy
Purple Coins on the Battlerock

"SHI-" C. Falcon dodged a fast cannonball from one of the many cannonballs from the galaxy.

"JUMP!" Samus yelled as she used a double jump to get over an electric fence.

The difficult of the galaxy dramatically increased as the cannonballs shot even faster than before, while the electric walls moved around, creating confusion between the 2 Smashers.

"FRENZY!" C. Falcon yelled as he and Samus ran below the moving platform they were on and evaded a crazy barrage of cannonballs.

"WALL!" Samus yelled as both jumped high over the electric wall.

"...Uh-oh..."

"W-what?" Samus asked panting.

"...How the heck are we going to get through THAT?!" C. Falcon asked in shock as he pointed to a huge electric wall that covered both sides of the platform and even there was no way to evade it. "Shoot!" C. Falcon almost lost a Purple Coin from getting away.

"Darn it..." Samus muttered as she looked around for something to jump to. "...Wait..."

C. Falcon looked at her direction and spotted a meteor that was going to cross where they were, but it was also out of the range of the electric wall and they also noticed that they gathered all the Purple Coins. "USE IT!"

"Grab on!" Samus yelled as she quickly used her Grapple Beam to pull herself (and the captain who managed to grab her foot in time) to the meteor as they looked back and managed to evade the electric wall. "Quick! Jump!" Samus yelled as she quickly jumped to the platform with the Gearmo waiting for them. C. Falcon acted quickly and jumped along with her before the meteor could take them to a black hole.

"Congratulations!" the Gearmo said happily. "You managed to collect all the coins without me taking a life out of you inexplicably!"

"...Say what?" C. Falcon and Samus asked in unison.

"Here's your reward!" the Gearmo said as he pulled out a Power Star and gave it to them.

"...By the way, what are you going to do with the Purple Coins?" C. Falcon asked.

"You don't know? Many people around the galaxy carve for these since they have a value of $1,000 Mushroom Coins each!"

C. Falcon noticed that the Gearmo was holding the coins. "...Hey! You stole a fortune out of us!"

"Does it matter in this moment?" Samus asked. "It's better to save the universe than getting a fortune."

"Saving the universe?" the Gearmo asked and both of them explained everything to them. "Why didn't you say that from the beginning? I could've give you the star without the coins in the first place!"

"..." Samus seemed to get angry at this since she aimed her arm cannon at the Gearmo's face as C. Falcon blinked surprised.

26 Power Stars, but what about the others before them?

Beach Bowl Galaxy
Beachcombing for Purple Coins

"Aw, c'mon!" C. Falcon groaned as he saw the ENTIRE amount of Purple Coins "flipping" above the water, imitating fishes..big ones, since all of them made a perfect big fish that looked real.

"Look!" a penguin said to a whole public of young penguins like him. "Those coins really know how to swim!"

Samus frowned. "I'm going to question why all the residents of the galaxies are a little bit clueless about the danger they're ignoring..."

"Little?" C. Falcon asked. "Too much would be my comment."

"Anyway," Samus looked at the Purple Coin Fish (new name) doing a flip in the air as it dove down the water. Both Smashers ran to the water and dove down. "There it is." Samus said.

C. Falcon nodded simply as he swam towards it...but suddenly, the Purple Coin Fish swam to them and actually gave the captain a slap with the coins as he crashed into a wall.

"C. Falcon!" Samus yelled.

C. Falcon just gave her thumbs-up, indicating that the damage wasn't that severe. The captain then gasped a little and pointed at the fish, which it looked at its tail and seemed to be in shock...

...Because, since coins are automatically gathered when somebody touches them, they disappear. The fish looked shocked and decided to swim away from the 2.

"I see..." Samus nodded. "It can't attack since we'll gather the coins with each hit it lands on us."

C. Falcon nodded before both of them went after the fish.

Good Egg Galaxy

The group, after going through a stressful oddyssey to get all the coins, found one last Purple Coin. However, this one was the hardest one since it went insanely fast to all directions from the path of one of the Launch Stars.

"Here's the plan," Fox began. "We're going to enter the star one after the other to get a close chance to grab the coin."

"W-what if we fail like the other 57 times?" the other Luigi asked. "That's the last coin that we've been trying to get for the last hour..."

"Hour and a half." Olimar pointed out.

"Just go in there! I'm starting to sweat a lot more than I do during my trainings!" Fox complained, before one after the other, entered inside the Launch Star and were blasted off to the coin...which somehow earned life and laughed at them. "What the fu-" Fox wasn't able to finish his curse as the 4 failed to grab the coin, which turned to them and laughed insanely...crazy. "The hell is wrong with that thing?"

Olimar's eyes opened in shock. "O-oh my... It got a life?"

"Is that even possible?" the other Luigi asked.

"Scientifically?" Luigi added.

"This is mentally...scarring..." Olimar said, grabbing his helmet.

"..." Fox looked at the Pikmins that turned into ghosts since they couldn't bear the "pain" to land in the Egg Planet. "...Olimar..."

"...OH NO," Olimar shook his head. "You're absolutely NOT going to use my Pikmins to do something where they can die like you did last time!"

Dear Diary

I ended up sacrifing 500 Pikmins (500 PIKMINS! THE HORROR!) for the sake of the Power Star. My eyes couldn't believe the pandemonium that the Pikmins went through. My helmet reflected their poor, helpless souls disappearing into the nothingness of the space... I'm going to learn how to get revenge after I get more Pikmins...

...That are going to be sacrificed later if my assumptions are correct...

P.S: I just remembered that I could've saved them using my whistle to call the first 6 back to me, ignoring what distance they're in. That discards the idea of revenge since it is my fault that they died... Sniff... But still...this is not fair...

P.S.S: I officialy think that the Purple Coins are evil, EVIL with capital letters...

27 Power Stars were gathered at this point.

P.S.S.S: I need to get revenge and k...k...k...ah, I don't have the courage to write that strong word in you, Dear Diary!

Space Junk Galaxy

"Time is running out..." Geno panted as Chris tried to grab 10 Purple Coins that teleported around. "We need to get those coins..."

"...Hmm..." Twink floated away and Geno gasped.

"No! Twink! Come back! It's too dangerous!"

Twink merely floated towards the Purple Coins, that remained in their place, and the Star Kid floated around them before taking every single one as a Power Star appeared in front of him. Twink smiled a little and took the star with him as he returned back with Geno. "Done."

"..." Geno was left speechless as his pupils shrunk. "...Tell me something..."

"Yes?"

"You were able to finish this from the very beginning...but you didn't... Why?"

Twink chuckled. "Sometimes, I love to see you all working hard to get your goals. Isn't that thoughtful of me or what?"

"...No..." Geno glared at him. "It IS annoying and irritating..."

"...Oops." Twink stuck out his tongue.

"U-um...hello?" Chris called from very afar, standing above the black hole because the platforms turned invisible at the most unexpected time. "...HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! LUUUUUUUUUUUUUCAAAAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"..It is just me or..." Twink looked at Geno. "Or was this already planned for Chris himself?"

"...We better rescue him before he falls..." Geno said.

"B-but..."

"We'll think about that later." Geno said.

28 Power Stars were gathered by this time.

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"Heeeeeeeeeeeey!" C. Falcon called from above as he and Samus landed with the Power Star that flew to Polari. "We got this one down on the list!"

"Great!" Mario said as he looked the notepad he had. "We should be able to recover all the Power Stars at this rate!"

"But can we rest more...please?" Chris asked as he layed down on the floor.

"We know we're doing great...but seriously, has anyone noticed that the missions are getting...just a little bit harder than before?" Falco asked.

"They probably reserved the "better" for the end." Geno said.

"Then I don't want to know what is much better at the very end..." Yoshi said.

"Mama! Mama!"

Some Lumas yelled in panic as the Smashers looked at the Lumas, trying to get Rosalina to listen to them. Of course, she listened.

"What seems to be the problem?" Rosalina asked.

"There were some weird dark things hiding around here!" a blue Luma said.

"...Dark...things, you say?"

"Yes! We're so worried about what could those things do if we don't act quickly!" a red Luma said. "I'm so scared, Mama! I don't want anything bad to happen here in our home!"

"Don't worry," Rosalina chuckled as she looked at the Smashers. "I'm sure our new friends will help us in this situation."

C. Falcon made a bored look. "Seriously, even if you're a beauty...why use u-"

Samus blocked his mouth. "We will give you our help if you need us."

"Thank you," Rosalina nodded. "I was scared if you were to refuse our favor."

Rosalina floated away with the Lumas as the Smashers looked at each other. "Dark things? Whatever they meant by that?" Twink asked confused.

"M-Mario!" a green Toad with a pickaxe ran to Mario with a blue Toad wearing glasses. "Mario! You need to hear this!"

"What?" Mario asked confused.

"N-not long ago," the blue Toad began. "W-we were walking around the observatory, a-and then we found some black spores moving around in the d-darkness!"

"T-those spores are up to no good! W-we know that!" the green Toad said. "I-I'm afraid something bad could happen if we don't do something about this!"

Yoshi blinked confused. "But what kind of black spores are you talking about?"

"H-hey!" the blue Toad called out. "Just because I wear glasses doesn't mean I know absolutely everything out there!"

"But you do give me a lot of advices." Mario pointed out.

"It's when the missions don't seem dangerous, then I bother to look for a way to help you, Mario! It's for the sake of the princess as well!"

"...Hmm..." Mario rubbed his chin. "...Why not some of us go for the next Power Star? I think there was another one in the Freezeflame Galaxy."

Samus nodded. "Right. I'll go for this one."

"W-wait!" C. Falcon stood up. "I-I'm going with you."

"Figures..." Samus muttered as the 2 walked away.

"Wait for me!" the Luigis yelled in unison as they joined the pair to the bedroom and blasted off to the previously mentioned galaxy.

"...Surround mode..." Twink said. "Surround mode..."

"Meanwhile," Mario looked at the others. "We should look for those black spores."

"...Oh, shi-"

"Do NOT dare to say filthy word around Twink." Geno glared at Fox.

"OR the Lumas!" Chris said as 3 Lumas passed by.

"S-sorry..." Fox shook his head. "Guys, I think I know what those black spores are."

"...So?" Yoshi asked.

"...The Shadow Bugs..."

Music stops

"...Wait..." Yoshi wondered for a little bit. "Black spores...dark things..."

Every single Smasher rolled their eyes (except for Mario) and frowned at Yoshi. "Duh!" they replied in unison.

Super Mario Galaxy - Speedy Comet in Orbit

"Cr-" Falco was about to curse but decided not to (by the angered Geno). "We have to find those things and get rid of them before something happens here!"

"Like what?" Yoshi asked.

"I don't know..." Falco stopped and rubbed his chin. "What could they be doing here?"

"They only serve to possess anybody to increase their powers, right?" Olimar asked. "So they're here to take someone, right?"

"But who?" Fox asked. "Obviously they're not trying to take any of us..."

"...Unless..." Chris continued. "...The Shadow Bugs aren't exactly trying to possess someone..."

"What do you have in mind, Chris?"

"Call this stupid, but the Shadow Bugs usually appear out of nowhere and possess anybody...but this is just random thinking...what if they can...who knows...take somebody else away?"

"..." Mario shook his head. "We don't know until we see it from our own eyes. We have to find the bugs and defeat them!"

"Why not kill them?" Falco asked.

Mario facepalmed. "Great going. The Lumas over there are starting to wonder what is kill."

Falco looked over his shoulder where some Lumas were talking between each other about what the word "kill" meant. "...Oops..."

"...AHEM," Fox coughed annoyed. "Shadow Bugs? Trying to do who-knows here? Somebody in danger?"

"...SCRAMBLE!" Olimar yelled as the Smashers ran at different directions around the observatory.

Freezeflame Galaxy
Frostic Cosmic Luigi Race

"...Oh no..." C. Falcon slowly shook his head. "...I must...think about something else!"

"Too bad," Samus said. "If you thought 2 Luigis were weird..."

"Hey!" the Luigis complained before looking at what looked to be a transparent version of themselves that had a cosmic background that covered its whole body.

The Cosmic Luigi...flipped them off.

C. Falcon glared at it. "Okay, he's asking for a beating."

Samus looked far away from their place as the Cosmic Luigi pointed at a Power Star far away from ice platforms and lava platforms in the middle of the ice mountain and the lava planet. "My guess is that it wants us to compete against it to grab the Power Star first."

"Too bad you were slow."

"What?" Samus asked as she saw Cosmic Luigi already running after the star as the 4 looked at each other and began the chase for the star.

"Wait for us!" the other Luigi said.

"We want to make a trio of Luigis!" Luigi said.

"You 2 must not be serious about that." Samus said as the 4 ran on a long ice path that pulled them upside-down.

"Why?" the other Luigi asked. "Having 3 Luigis could be a blast!"

"That other Luigi gave us the finger!" C. Falcon said annoyed as they were pulled back to normal floor and saw Cosmic Luigi getting away. "And you want that thing with us? Forget it!"

"We thought it was a good idea..." Luigi said disappointed.

"...Hey!" C. Falcon saw Cosmic Luigi using a long jump to ignore the normal path and reach the star first. "That guy's cheating!"

"Or rather he is intelligent." Samus remarked as the 3 looked at her. "...What? I was just giving my opinion."

"Oh no!" the Luigis yelled in unison. "Our twin is going to reach the star first! We're not gonna make it!"

"...Gonna?" Samus and C. Falcon repeated confused.

"...Oops, I forgot I don't have that Yoshi here anymore..." Luigi sniffed.

"Yes," the other Luigi sniffed. "I'll miss that Yoshi..."

"Pss," C. Falcon whispered to Samus as they crossed over a magma tile by jumping over it. "These Luigis are going to drive me nuts."

"I'll have to admit..." Samus trailed off. "2 Luigis is just a little bit too much..."

"OH NO!" the Luigis yelled as they saw Cosmic Luigi about to reach the Power Star. "That's it! We lose!"

The screen showed Cosmic Luigi slidding above the ice path as it jumped gracefully over the holes that had black holes below. Cosmic Luigi chuckled darkly as it saw the star very close to it...

...But...

BOOM!

The ice below it shattered into a million of pieces as it stopped in midair and looked down to the black hole. Cosmic Luigi looked back and forth between the Smashers and the star before it took out a sign from behind his back that read: "I hate when this happens."

"...!!!" Cosmic Luigi "yelled" as it went rocketing into the black hole as the Luigis and C. Falcon looked down to it before looking at Samus, who had smoke coming from her arm cannon.

"I used a Super Missile to blow up the floor below that doppelganger," Samus explained. "Nobody said we could also cheat in a way. However, this was for the sake of the universe."

"...Way to go, Samus!" C. Falcon said as he high-fived with Samus. The Luigis cheered (in perfect synchronization) while Samus merely nodded before they went for the Power Star.

30 Power Stars were gathered...

Comet Observatory
Terrace

"Where are they?!" Chris panicked as he looked through the telescope. "Hmm... I can see the place where the festival of the sports was held... I-I mean, where are they?!"

Fountain

"Nothing out of the ordinary here!" Polari said to Falco, who grunted in frustration as he ran away.

Kitchen

"..." Olimar was there, sitting down close to the turkey that was being burned in the fire with his Pikmins. "...What is that? Bogly?" Olimar asked to his Purple Pikmin named Bogly. "...Oh, bellies in flans!" Olimar gasped before running away with his Pikmins.

Bedroom

"H-help!" Yoshi yelled from inside the bed...almost. "M-my nose got stuck in here! Help!" Yoshi's nose was stuck underneath the bed since it was the last big thing that he tried to get out, because the Yoshi was trying to pull it off.

Engine Room

"My sensors indicate that there are no such things as black spores roaming inside the engine," the Gearmo told Fox who nodded and ran away.

Gateway Galaxy

"...Geno..." Twink began as he looked around. "...I think we went too far..."

"...Great..." Geno frowned to himself as they returned back to the observatory.

Garden

The puppet and the Star Kid looked around the silent scenery for the Shadow Bugs once they reached that area of the observatory. "Do you think they're here?" Twink asked.

"I don't know..." Geno said. "But we need to be careful..."

Unforutnately, they weren't able to see small spores leaking out from one of the formations of rocks that exited the area.

Library

Music stops

"..." Rosalina looked at the chimney as the Lumas fell asleep before she could tell them the nex chapter. The princess sighed and looked down. "...Somehow...I don't feel so good..." she looked around slowly. "There is an evil force lurking around here...but the Lumas shouldn't know about them or else they would panic..."

Black spores began to lurk around the books of the library as she closed her eyes.

"I fear something bad is going to happen to me..." Rosalina muttered. "...But what could that be?"

The spores began to crawl down, just behind the sofa she was sitting on.

"...Maybe...maybe I should take a walk and see what can distract my thoughts..."

The black spores turned out to be the Shadow Bugs as they slowly climbed the backside of Rosalina's sofa as she blinked several times before looking around.

"...Strange..." Rosalina muttered. "...I can feel them... They are getting closer..."

The Shadow Bugs reached the top of the sofa and began to grow in size to drop down on her, but Rosalina stood up and she walked away from the sofa. The Shadow Bugs quickly dropped to the floor in silence as they crawled silently towards the princess. Was their plan to take Rosalina?

The Shadow Bugs carefully sneaked through the sleeping Lumas and toward the princess. They wait for the right moment to attack Rosalina...

...If it weren't for the green Luma that woke up all of a sudden and found the darkness close to him.

"...MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" the green Luma cried loudly.

Rosalina quickly turned her back and her eyes shook before the screen focused on her right eye, reflecting the image of the Shadow Bugs lunging at her...

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Every single place the Smashers in the Comet Observatory were in

"That came from the library!" the Smashers said in unison before all of them ran to the library and see what happened.

Bedroom

"...A-anybody?" Yoshi asked as he tried to pull his nose out, but without any result.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[The Seventh]

Whoa.  Suspenseful.

Brilliant TO BE CONTINUED placement.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO CONTINUE.

[DededeCloneChris]

Chapter 116: Lumas' Babysitters

Comet Observatory
Library

The Smashers reached the library where they saw a big blob of darkness that vanished right after they came while the Lumas were panicking. The blob of darkness only left a book that fell down on the floor, which was the same book that Rosalina used the last time. "N-no!" Mario said as he walked to where the blob was. "T-they..."

"Oh, dangit!" Chris cursed. "I was just joking about the kidnapping part, but they took it literally!"

"I bet it was just a coincidence..." Twink trailed off.

"But...why?" Olimar asked. "Why kidnap her and not us?"

"What's all the rambling in here?" Polari asked as he flew inside. "Why are the Lumas crying?"

"Rosalina was..." Mario trailed off.

Several minutes passed before the scene changed to where Rosalina usually stood in the observatory as the rest of the Lumas were wondering what happened in the library. They even were wondering where was the princess as Polari coughed.

"A-as you can see, Rosalina isn't here right now," Polari said. "There is no need to worry for her."

"Where's Mama?!" a green Lumas asked.

"W-we don't know exactly where did she go so I-I'm afraid she got..."

"..." the Lumas blinked in confusion.

"...K-kidnapped..."

"..."

The Lumas seemed to be clueless about what kidnapping meant.

"...What's kidnapped? It's food?" a red Luma asked.

"Kidnapped is when someone takes you away to another place when you don't want to go." Polaris explained.

"...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" all the Lumas cried loudly as the Smashers blocked their ears from the loud sobs and cries from the Lumas that flew around in panic.

"Good job!" Fox yelled annoyed. "The idea was to prevent them from crying!"

"I'm sorry!" Polari yelled back. "It's bad to keep secrets to the Lumas and so I went ahead!"

"It's becoming not so enjoyable!" Chris yelled as he saw Yoshi walking back to them with what looked to be a red line mark that ran across one side of his nose to the other. "And what happened to you?"

"I don't want to talk about it!" Yoshi yelled.

At that moment, C. Falcon, Samus and the Luigis came back but quickly blocked their ears (though Samus wasn't affected) in pain. "W-what did you guys do now?!" C. Falcon asked.

"Hey!" Falco yelled back and walked to him. "We didn't do a thing to let all these starts to cry like this!"

"U-ugh!" Chris dropped to his knees. "Somebody has to shut them all up! You over there! Do something!"

"I-I can't!" Polari yelled back. "When this happens, Rosalina always know what to do to calm many of them down! And I'm not her!"

"Oh, holy keys in trees!" Olimar yelled. "I won't hold on for any longer! Please, I beg someone to stop their cries!"

"We'd like to hear actual IDEAS, thank you very much!" Geno yelled.

"W-wait!" Yoshi yelled. "I know what to do to calm them down!"

"Then do it!" Chris yelled.

"EVERYONE! IT'S TIME TO READ THE NEXT CHAPTER!"

All the Lumas seemed to stop their cries and slowly floated to the group, or more accurately Yoshi.

"...Amazing..." Polari said. "...You managed to calm all of them down..."

"Mama is going to read another chapter?" a yellow Luma asked.

Yoshi shook his head slowly. "N-no... I-I'll read it instead of her..."

Super Mario Galaxy - Sad Story

"B-but...Mama...where is Mama?!" a green Luma asked.

"Mama is...not safe..." Yoshi trailed off as the Lumas prepared to cry. "B-but this is not the time to be crying!"

"Mama isn't here anymore! We're all alone again!" a blue Luma yelled as he sobbed.

"Alone again?" Yoshi repeated confused, but the Lumas refused to tell him what he wanted to know. "L-look, Rosalina is safe. Stop crying please!"

"M-Mama..." a yellow Luma sniffed. "...W-we don't know how to take care of ourselves without her..."

"Mama is extremely kind and so happy when she is with us..." a red Luma said. "...She never leaves us...b-but..."

"I know she was kidnapped..." Yoshi closed his eyes in shame. "I know you're all so happy around her... I know you love her as much as she loves you all back... I know that she cares for all of you at the same time without even tiring herself out...but...whatever you think..." Yoshi opened his eyes. "She is fine... That's something I know for sure... I hope..." Yoshi muttered the last part.

"...S-sniff..." a blue Luma sniffed. "M-Mama..."

The Smashers were a little bit puzzled at what was happening between Yoshi and the Lumas that they got very confused.

"W-wait," Falco began. "Mama?... Yes, I remember them calling her like that..."

"But how do you know that much about all of them?" C. Falcon asked.

"..." Yoshi turned to them. "...It's because...I was...I..." Yoshi closed his eyes. "S-sorry, I'm afraid to say why that you could get angry at me..."

"Angry for what exactly?" Luigi asked.

"..."

"..." Chris closed his eyes and he tried to understand the pain of the Lumas about losing someone beloved...

...The Lumas were always happy with Rosalina...

...Rosalina was a real mother to them...

...Chris could relate her with her own mother...

...Chris's mother was away with Chris's dad in a long business trip ever since he graduated from Kindergarden...

...And the Lumas were about to face the sorrow about being alone without a parent that Chris have faced for so long...

"...Stop it!" Chris yelled. "Rosalina is fine! You don't have to cry anymore for her!"

"M-Mama..." a blue Luma sniffed before Chris hugged him tightly and looked at the others.

"Please, you all have to understand that your mom is fine," Chris closed his eyes as the blue Luma looked up to him. "Believe me...I've been through a very sad childhood when my parents left me all alone to live in my house..."

"...Care to explain?" Olimar asked.

Chris went on. "They left because it was for the best in order to be successful, and they wanted me to live a happy life that I..."

...Chris seemed to skip a part he didn't want to tell...

"...I had to rely on my parents' friends to raise me...but I was very sad that my parents weren't the ones that looked after me..." a tear strolled down his left cheek as he wiped it away.

"...Chris..." Yoshi muttered.

Chris sniffed. "...I don't want this..." Chris muttered as he began to sob silently. "...I don't want children so young like you all go through the same thing I went through... Seeing people like you about to experience what I've experienced..." Chris opened his eyes, which were full of tears. "...It's just...too painful... I can't let this...happen... Nobody should go through something...something horrible like this..."

"..." Samus looked down and walked to Chris. "...Even if kidnapping and having an explanation to stay away from a child are not the same terms...I can relate that with me as well..."

"...You do?" Chris asked as he stopped his sobs.

Samus nodded and rubbed the blue Luma's head. "My parents were killed by Ridley before...and I grew up with the Chozo that trained me to become a Bounty Hunter...but still..." a faint sniff came from inside Samus's helmet as Chris's eyes widened. "...I felt sorrow...complete sorrow after I knew the truth about them..."

"...Samus..." Chris muttered worried.

"...A horrible sorrow that I wanted to leave...but it just kept..." Samus remained silent for a moment. "...It just kept coming back...time after time...I looked at Ridley..."

"...Then...it's not revenge what you're seeking?"

Samus shook her head. "It's not revenge that I'm seeking... I want to finish Ridley because..."

"It reminds you that it killed your parents," Fox began as he crossed his arms. "Looking at that monster only makes you remember what you went through..."

"...Exactly..." Samus nodded. "...Ridley is a bad omen that laughs at me when it appears and tries to kill me...like it did to my parents..."

"...Samus..." Chris wiped some tears. "I-I'm...I'm sorry..."

"...It's fine..." Samus said. "...I just wanted to explain something that I wanted you all to understand...a meaning about Ridley...and because...we're alike, Chris..."

"Because our parents left us alone, by dying or because it was needed to make progress..."

"...Exactly..." Samus muttered.

"...I should be happy, but right now...is not just the time..." Chris sniffed a little as the blue Luma whimpered silently.

"(...I've got to admit...)" C. Falcon thought as he looked at the space. "(...She can be so serious when Ridley is mentioned...)"

"And because I'm not planning to let all these babies suffer either..." Samus looked at the Lumas who were sniffing sadly. "They don't need to go through this horrible event...a very cruel event for them..."

"That we try to overcome..." Chris added as he released the Luma. "...I think I can relate your sorrow and mine, Samus...but perfectly..."

"...It somehow makes me happy..." Samus muttered.

"...Huh?"

"...It makes me happy that a person like you can understand me so well, since you went through the same sorrow..."

"Different reason...but same sorrow..." Chris said as closed his eyes and prevented some tears from running down.

Samus touched Chris's cheek and wiped a tear from him as the World Traveler looked at her. "Please, you don't need to cry...or myself anymore...not in front of all of them..."

The Luigis were crying some tears, even Olimar was hugging a Yellow Pikmin that seemed to be sniffing silently. Mario closed his eyes in defeat as if it was his fault. Yoshi also did the same like Mario did along with Falco, who crossed his arms and closed his eyes. Geno was consoling Twink, who was crying silently.

"Samus..." C. Falcon put a hand on her shoulder. "You feeling okay now?"

"...Yes..." Samus nodded. "...I'm feeling well..."

"Good," C. Falcon said with a nod. "We have to do something about this or else the Lumas aren't going to have Rosalina anymore."

"Lumas!" Polari began. "These people just told all of you that your Mama, our very beloved Mama, is safe! We can't think about negative things about what could happen to her if we don't wish for her safety!" Polari pointed at the Smashers. "They're strong enough to rescue her from that Bowser who also kidnapped Mario's girlfriend!"

"H-hey!" Mario blushed embarrassed.

"...Mama is...fine...right?" a yellow Luma asked.

"She is because we're wishing for that," Geno said with a nod. "I'm a star myself and this wish won't pass unnoticed as long as we're on the watch."

"Y-yeah!" Twink said forcing a smile while his tears ran down his small cheeks. "Come on! We don't need to be sad like this for any longer! Rosalina is waiting for us to be rescued and returned to this place!"

"Our home!" a red Luma yelled.

"Mama is going to be fine!" a green Luma yelled.

"We're going to wish for her safety!" a blue Luma yelled.

"We're not going to cry anymore!" a yellow Luma yelled.

"We're going to cheer you all for our Mama!" the Lumas yelled cheering.

"...Geez, they put all the work on u-" Falco's mouth was blocked by Yoshi.

"We're going to rescue Rosalina..." Chris closed his eyes before opening them again. "...And we're going to do it so no one else suffers sorrow..."

Music stops

"Wait," Samus began. "The Lumas are always being cared by Rosalina. Somebody needs to act like a babysitter and take care of them."

"..." Polari was staring at the Smashers. "I spy with my little eye 10 babysitters..."

C. Falcon noticed that Polari wasn't looking at Mario. "Hey! Not fair! Why Mario can't?"

"Because, duh, he's trying to save the princess and Rosalina! You're all here because the missions got harder!" Polari explained. "So for now on, you're going to take care of the Lumas between missions."

"...Well..." Yoshi began. "...I can do all that by myself..."

"...Are you sure?" Chris asked.

"Y-yes..." Yoshi closed his eyes. "...Rosalina happened to help me during a hard time...that I'm still going through...and this is the perfect opportunity to show her what can I give her in return..." Yoshi took out the storybook from his back and showed it to them. "Besides, I want to read them all this and finish it myself."

"...The storybook..." Mario trailed off before nodding. "...Then go ahead and take care of them."

"But are you sure about leaving the work to us?" Chris asked.

"I'm very sure," Yoshi opened his eyes and smiled a little. "I'd do anything for Rosalina to the end."

"Very touching," Samus remarked. "It's good to see someone of us doing this for the others."

"H-hey, I can stay behind an-" C. Falcon was interrupted.

"You're coming with us." Samus responded.

"Aww..."

"Okay, everyone!" Yoshi yelled at the Lumas. "We're going to see the next chapter! Who wants to come along?"

The Lumas cheered happily as they all followed Yoshi to the library while the Smashers looked at them walking/floating away.

"...He knows he's taking like 80 or 90 of them inside a room for 20, right?" Twink asked.

"...Huh?" Chris looked at Fox, who was looking away. However, there were some odd sounds that sounded like mutters from the vulpine. "...Fox?"

"H-huh?" Fox seemed to rub something off his face and turned to see Chris. "Yes?"

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Y-yeah, I'm feeling okay."

"...Hmm..." Chris wondered for a little bit as he turned his back to Fox.

Fox clenched his fists and looked down. "...I can..." Fox began silently. "...I can relate that same sorrow to me..."

Persona 4 - Backside of the TV

"Alright," Mario began. "We need to get ourselves back into the track and think about what we're going to do next."

"The question is this," Samus began. "Why kidnap Rosalina?"

"To turn her against us?" Chris asked before his pupils shrunk. "...O-oh no... I can't imagine that horrible thing!"

"Relax!" Polari said. "Rosalina can't be harmed in any way possible!"

"Why?" Falco asked.

"Rosalina has the power and soul of the galaxies. She has the protection of the galaxies that gives her protective shields," Polari looked annoyed to Mario. "Which brings a question about you. Why did you jump over her?"

Mario looked away. "...Curiosity?"

"...Sure..."

"Back on topic," Geno continued. "Why'd they kidnap her?"

"Hmm," Twink wondered for a second. "Well, Rosalina can't fight at all because she wants protection over strength."

"And they wouldn't kidnap her just to make the Lumas feel alone..." Chris looked down but Samus placed her right hand on his shoulder. "...You're right... Thanks."

Samus nodded. "Continuing with Chris's point of view, I don't see why was she planned to be kidnapped."

"Well," Polari chuckled. "Rosalina has the power to move the observatory to any part of the universe. Kidnapping her would mean that we're stuck in here to prevent us from reaching Bowser...and...I...just..."

"...What?" Luigi asked confused. "She can move the whole observatory?"

"...Uh-huh. Rosalina is basically the pilot of the whole observatory when it needs to move around, and since we need Power Stars to move and her to use them..."

"...We're stuck in here..." Fox began as he realized what it meant. "...And even if we obtain all the Power Stars..."

"...We're not leaving this place?" Olimar finished a little confused.

"Oh no," Polari said. "That was their plan all along...kidnap Rosalina so we can't rescue both princesses and save the entire galaxy!"

"But then how can we go to Bowser and kick his a-" C. Falcon was interrupted by a glare from Geno. "H-his butt around, I mean?"

"There are no other ways..." Polari said sadly. "...Rosalina is herself an important part of the rescue since she had the power to take us there...and without her..."

"...No," Chris shook his head. "There's got to be a way to get there..."

"Impossible," Polari shook himself. "Taking Rosalina away is pretty much like taking the main platform that holds the entire building standing."

"Oh," the blue Toad with glasses was walking close to them. "You mean you want to know another way to get to Bowser?"

"...Do you happen to know?" Mario asked.

"As surprising as you could presume, yes," the Toad said.

"...You REALLY do?" Twink asked.

"I ABSOLUTELY do, in fact."

"...Just how do these guys manage to pull out the answers like that?" Fox whispered to Chris.

"Either they exchanged strength for extreme dexterity...or cheated." Chris whispered back.

"How?" Polari asked.

"That's very easy," the blue Toad pointed at the Starshroom. "We need that to "merge" it with the Power Stars that are gathered in the center of the observatory, but first, we need all the Power Stars first in order to do this quite difficult process."

"Wait, merge?" Polari asked.

"That's what I said," the blue Toad said.

"You're not going to leave it like that, right?"

"Depends...I mean, no. Just for this time, we're going to use this method."

"And how do you exactly are going to merge it with the observatory?"

"Look, just wait until we get the remaining 30 Power Stars that you guys need to gather!" the blue Toad said.

"I have an idea," Chris began. "We'll have to accelerate things a little bit and gather the Power Stars even faster."

"Splitting up?" C. Falcon asked.

"...Great, somebody said what I was going to say..."

"Sounds good," Samus said with a nod. "The missions are going to be insane to pass for only 1 person...but there's no choice left."

"O-oh boy," Olimar trembled. "Things are getting harder and harder..."

"But I'm willing to do this for the Lumas," Chris said. "I'm willing to do this for them... I want to stop this event from happening."

"So am I," Samus said. "We'll have to be extremely careful... By the way, before we continue, does anybody have any objections for this plan?"

"No," Mario said. "I can handle a mission all alone."

"Don't involve ice and that's all fine with me." Falco said with a grin.

"D-don't kill my Pikmins a-and I'll cooperate..." Olimar said nodding.

Fox cracked his fists. "I'm prepared for whatever comes this time."

"I'll use my jobs even more than before." Chris said.

"..." Luigi looked at his other self.

"...Let's separate this time..." the other Luigi said.

"...Okay..."

"Since Rosalina is an important friend to us," Geno looked at Twink before he nodded. "I'm ready as well."

"I'll protect Samus," C. Falcon said before everyone stared at him with bored looks. "...Fine! I'll go by myself! Geez, you people...can't let me enjoy a single scene alone wit-"

"WE know," Twink said. "By the way, I'm going with Geno. I'm not going alone to who-knows-where."

"Then it's settled," Samus said. "We're all going to separate ways from here on."

"One question." Falco said raising a finger.

"What?"

"Why are we losing the time here when we're supposed to be going out?" Falco asked with a grin...before Samus hit his head with her arm cannon. "Oww! That was just a joke!"

"...Oh..." Samus chuckled. "Heheheh...a joke..."

The other made confused looks while Samus kept chuckling uncontrollably. "...Samus? A-are you feeling fine?" Chris asked.

"W-what?" Samus asked as she stopped. "Y-yes, I'm fine."

"...Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeird..." Twink said.

"We'll be waiting for you all to gather all the Power Stars and set course to Bowser's location!" the blue Toad said as he ran off to his team.

"I'll keep an eye on the Lumas." Polari said.

"Let's disperse now that we're starting this then." Mario said before they nodded and ran to different areas of the observatory.

Library

Music stops

"..." Yoshi looked at the usual Lumas that were always listening to Rosalina in the library as he shifted his eyes a little. "...W-well..."

"S-to-ry! S-to-ry! S-to-ry!" the Lumas demanded.

"W-why are you acting so angry?"

"We want to listen to the next chapter!" a red Luma yelled.

"Chapter! Chapter! Chapter!" the Lumas demanded.

"F-fine! Okay, okay, okay! Let me get started!" Yoshi opened the book and sat down on the sofa as he looked for the right chapter to read them...

Super Mario Galaxy - Prologue

Chapter 5                                 

                                    -Home-

                                    Page 1                                   

"The kitchen will go here, and the library will go over there," the girl said
  busily to herself. "We'll put the gate here." Ever since the girl took Luma
  under her care, she'd been bustling about at a feverish pace. "It's a lot of
  work, but it's worth it to make a happy home." it turned out that Star Bits
   weren't the only things buried in the ice. There were tools and furniture
    unlike any they had ever seen, and the girl used them to build a home.

                                    Page 2                                   

  Looking at the complete house, Luma remarked, "Don't you think it's awfully
  big for just the two of us?" With a library, bedroom, kitchen, fountain, and
  gate, it was certainly spacious, but still, something seemed to be missing.
 
"If only my father, brother, and mother were here," the girl said wistfully.
          Indeed, the house was too large for its two small residents.

                                    Page 3                                   

That night, clutching her favorite stuffed bunny close to her heart, the girl
                         fell asleep in the starship.

Music stops

"..." Yoshi noticed that the Lumas were still looking at him. "...It's not the same, right?"

"...No..." the Lumas said before looking at each other. "..."

Gold Leaf Galaxy
Purple Coins in the Woods

Super Mario Galaxy - Purple Coin Comet

Chris stopped on his tracks and looked at the sky. "...Strange...I could've sworn that somebody broke out crying loudly..."

The place now showed Chris (wearing the bee costume) as he flew above some platforms that were connected to a tree's back before he used the small Launch Star to get to the top. "Alright, things are looking good so far. The Purple Coins from below to here were gathered and I just need to grab that one over there." Chris looked at a Purple Coin, standing between fountain of water that could take Chris's ability out.

The World Traveler carefully flew across the water and grabbed the coin. Chris smiled in victory as he landed back on the wooden platform, out of the spikes.

...But something was wrong...

"...Huh? Where is the star? It was supposed to appear right after I got the last coin..." Chris wondered for a moment. "...OH, HECK NO!" before he gasped and turned all white. His eyes didn't have their pupils as the background was drawn with lines going down. "Unless..."

The World Traveler peered from the pillars of the top of the tree and looked down. Right where he started, there was the last coin.

"...Dammit! Why'd this happen like that time again?! Grr! I hated that moment of this mission!" Chris looked at the pillars. "...But I guess I can just fly over them..."

His wishes were soon shattered once he found something odd...

There was an invincible wall that prevented him from going out and down as his jaw dropped after he landed on the floor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THIS AGAIN!!!" Chris yelled before the time ran out and killed him as he fell on his back and his eyes turned into swirls. "I hate those...invincible walls...so much..."

And thus he lost a life from his last one...technically since he only had one last chance to survive...

Dusty Dune Galaxy
Purple Coins in the Desert

...Not...

Mario suddenly trembled and he embraced himself. "...Somebody lost and took a life out of me..." Mario looked around. "I just hope they don't take out all my lifes because I could die..." he shook his head. "No! I don't need to get distracted. I need to get the Purple Coins in...what? 10 seconds?"

The red plumber (questionable job) gasped as he started to run to get the Purple Coins.

Ghostly Galaxy
Purple Coins in the Bone Pen

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Luigi was screaming as he was being constantly launched inside the bone formation with meaty bones acting as bumpers that pushed him everywhere. "I-I don't understand! Who is launching me around?!"

Close to where he was, on the planet, there was Spooky Speedster using what looked to be...a Wiimote...

"...What?" the Spooky Speedster asked before smiling (Or he was already smiling). "I DO have other hobbies, you know!"

The Boo kept "playing" around with Luigi.

Until Luigi got the Power Star, although the green plumber (questionable work again) was completely dazzled.

"But also," the Spooky Speedster continued. "I have a good heart for helping people out."

The Ghostly Galaxy finished with the Boo giving a wink to no one in particular as he forgot to save Luigi from going inside a black hole.

Oh well, they now gathered 31 Power Stars.

Toy Time Galaxy
Luigi's Purple Coins

If Chris was there, he could've cursed a lot ever since he suffered a lot of deaths in this stupid galaxy OF INFINITE HE-

Olimar was there with his 6 Pikmins, looking at all the 150 Purple Coins.

The captain knew what to do once he saw the Dark Matter and a Pikmin dying for one mere touch.

Olimar sniffed...

5 minutes later...

Olimar was sobbing silently after he got the Power Star. A Red Pikmin was humming a war song that usually played when a war ended. Why was it doing that, you ask?

Dear Diary...

...

Olimar couldn't write anything after ordering 100 Pikmins to die by the shrinking platforms and the Dark Matter...

...Actually, make that 300. 1000 Pikmins died during the whole mission to this world.

"..." Olimar sniffed more before the Red Pikmin patted his back.

32 Power Stars were gathered.

Dreadnought Galaxy
Battlestation's Purple Coins

"Are you kidding me?"

Fox was having a hard time in probably the hardest version of what Samus and C. Falcon went through before. The cannon were shooting cannonball extremely fast, the electric fences were moving up and down, many platforms were either upside down or at the sides...

Not to mention the Scope Primids that were shooting from the cannons.

...And the Fire Primids.

"..." Fox merely narrowed his eyes as the moving platform began its course. The vulpine saw the first electric fences and he flipped carefully between them. The cannonballs were pretty much like the fences, but harder. If Fox used his Relflector, that only would cause a chain of explosion that couldn't be reflected otherwise, so he jumped over them.

As expected, Thwomps were pounding the platforms insanely fast. However, out of luck, Fox's Fox Illusion was a little faster and he managed to collect the trail of Purple Coins from below.

Lastly, after admirably dodging pretty much everything behind, he gathered the last Purple Coins from a Jumper, used the nearby Launch Star and grabbed the Power Star...

"..." then Fox passed out. Trails of sweat around some parts of his vest and even from his boots.

After all, who can't dodge all that without breaking a sweat? Fox broke like 30...

...33 Power Stars gathered...

Freezeflame Galaxy
Purple Coins on the Summit

This mission was better off with Samus, who had her abilities and equipment to the fullest advantage possible. If Falco went there, he would be a popsicle.

Samus looked up to the summit. "...This is going to be tiresome..." Samus commented as she went ahead, finding Brrr Bits coming out from the frozen lake as she quickly fired missiles at them and shattered into pieces. "They don't have anything harder than this?"

Just as she asked, Dark Brrr Bits appeared from the lake and spawn ice mist out.

"...But I had to ask..." Samus muttered as she prepared her missiles.

Sea Slide Galaxy
Purple Coins by the Seaslide

"..."

There was an annoyed Bee Falco hovering through the long river of water as he looked very mad. "...My kingdom for a better thing than this crap..." Falco muttered annoyed.

Either the Subspace Army didn't do anything to make his mission harder or they thought the embarrassment was greater.

Yes, it was embarrassment.

"At least nobody is looking at me." Falco said with a sigh of relief.

"Hey!" the same tough-looking penguin from the previous race yelled from below on the beach and pointed at Falco. "Look at that wuss wearing the vagina-y bee costume!"

"Yeah! Let's all laugh at him!" another tough-looking penguin said before everyone erupted into laughter.

"..." Falco made a mental note about beating the heck out of them as he went from cloud to cloud.

Comet Observatory
Library

Music stops

"...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh..." Yoshi muttered with the book covering his head (or eyes) as the cries of the Lumas were still going. "...Uuuuuuuugh, UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!"

The Lumas stopped their cries and looked at Yoshi. "M-Mama is back?"

"No!" Yoshi yelled angrily. "She's not coming back! Never, ever! I'm trying here to at least cheer all of you up but you keep crying like there was no tomorrow or something stupid like that!"

The Lumas sniffed.

"She's not coming back unless you behave yourselves like the "good" children you are as she thinks about you! Now, do you love her or do you just plain think she's done for?"

"..."

The Lumas remained silent as they looked down in shame. Yoshi made an angry expression but later he blinked several times before he sighed. "Please," Yoshi began with a calmer tone. "Just let me read the next chapter so we can be a little bit happier, okay? I want to see the next one too as "much" as you do!"

"...Okay..." the Lumas replied in unison before they sat down inside their small cradles and looked at Yoshi, who opened the book and read the next chapter.

Super Mario Galaxy - Prologue

Chapter 6                                 

                                   -Friends-

                                    Page 1                                   

  Then one day, while the girl sat sipping tea, a tiny apricot-colored planet
    appeared on the horizon. From the planet, another Luma of the same color emerged. "Do you two know each other?!" the girl asked the two Lumas gleefully. Despite the girl's excitement, they seemed uneasy.

                                    Page 2                                   

  The two Lumas neither drew closer nor backed away from each other. Instead,
  they just stared. Then one Luma broke the silence. "My mama!" At once, the
apricot Luma parroted back, "My mama! My mama!" "My mama!" "My mama!" The two
Lumas began to dance around the girl frantically, and neither showed any sign
of stopping. The girl was so charmed by this adorable scene that she couldn't
        help but laugh. And that's when something very strange happened.

                                    Page 3                                   

Suddenly, more Lumas began to pop out from the apricot planet. They were all
different colors, but they all shouted the same thing. "My mama!" "My mama!"
The sight of all the shouting Lumas only made the girl laugh harder. "What am
I going to do with all these children?!" The Lumas just stared blankly as she
doubled over laughing. "I guess we'll have to name each and every one of you."
  Tomorrow, once she had finished naming them all, she would begin moving all
                         the Lumas into the new house.

Yoshi closed the book with both hands and looked angry. "And I hope you all are satisfied because I didn't have the same mood I had befor-" Yoshi stopped once he heard small snores coming from the cradles. The Yoshi peered down and found the Lumas sleeping deeply and peacefully. Yoshi actually managed to make them fall asleep.

"...Mama..." a yellow Luma muttered. "...Please...be fine..."

"Don't go..." a blue Luma muttered. "...We know you're okay..."

"..." Yoshi seemed to calm down.

"We love you, Mama..." a green Luma muttered. "You love us..."

"I wish for your safety..." a red Luma muttered. "...Mama..."

"..." Yoshi blinked several times before he sniffed and shed a tear. "...Y-you..." Yoshi sniffed another time before sitting back on the sofa, then he opened the book and found the chapter he was reading to the Lumas. "...I want to read this again... I didn't have that enthusiasm before..." Yoshi said as he pulled closer the book to his eyes and started to read it again in silence.

Deep Dark Galaxy
Plunder the Purple Coins

Super Mario Galaxy - Purple Coin Comet

100 Boos were laughing at C. Falcon, who apparently was mad they hid 1 Purple Coin each. The captain was doing his best to reach them out but they turned invincible and he passed through them. "God, stop doing that!"

"Hell no!" the Boos replied before snickering evily.

"We've been doing this annoying cycle for the last hour, dangit! The universe is going to be in danger if you don't give me the darn $100,000 worth coins!"

"...Nope!" the Boos denied him before laughing madly.

"Grr... I wish there was some way to make them listen...or else I'll beat the hell out of t-"

"That is not going to be necessary!"

C. Falcon got a confused look and turned his back to find a bigger Boo with a helmet and orange googles. "Oh no, not another one of those freaky things!"

"Relax!" the big Boo said. "I'm the Spooky Speedster, and your friends helped me to realize something awful before!"

"...Really?"

"Hell yeah!" the Spooky Speedster said before looking at the Boos. "And since you're trying to save the galaxies, I'm going to help you and get those coins faster than usual!"

C. Falcon crossed his arms. "Well, I'd like to see you give it a shot."

"Heheheh, it's not going to be that hard," the Spooky Speedster flew to the Boos, who stared at him. "Everyone! I have very good news!"

"Get lost!" the Boos replied.

"Okay, fine," the Spooky Speedster turned his back but "grinned" a little bit. "It's a shame Lady Bow isn't going to find the ideal man of her dreams..."

A record scratched and the Boos looked at him. "What did you say?!" the Boos asked in shock.

"It's true," the Spooky Speedster looked at them. "Lady Bow has requested a contest to see who's her ideal Boo of her dreams and the entries just opened!"

"Dude!" a Boo began. "Lady Bow is like, the hottest Boo there is!"

"Not to mention she's super rich!" another Boo commented.

"And super cute!" another Boo added.

"And sexy!" another Boo added.

"And smexy!" another Boo added.

The 99 Boos looked at him. "This isn't a chatroom, you dork!"

"Oops..."

"So what are you guys gonna do?" the Spooky Speedster asked.

"What else!" a Boo began. "I'm going to win her heart!"

"Oh, really?!" another Boo glared at him. "She won't love you, because I'll win her heart first!"

"Pfft," another Boo rolled his eyes. "Give me a darn break. I'm the most handsome here!"

"Yeah, right," another Boo began. "You can't even lift a rock and you call yourself handsome?"

"In both of those things!" another Boo commented proudly.

"No, you aren't!" yet another Boo said angrily.

The Spooky Speedster sweatdropped once he saw the Boos arguing with each other...before they broke out fighting in a floating cloud of dust as C. Falcon gathered the Purple Coins that fell out of the cloud, thus gathering all of them.

"Hey, thanks for you help," C. Falcon said with a grin. "Making them fight over a female of their own who isn't holding a contest was the greatest idea."

"...E-er...actually..." the Spooky Speedster chuckled. "I-I didn't plan this outcome..."

"What?"

The Spooky Speedster nodded. "Yeah, I thought they were going to go to the contest that Lady Bow is REALLY holding, not fight each other to death...since they're already dead."

"..." C. Falcon shook his head. "Okay...but even though, thanks."

"You're welcome," the Spooky Speedster said as the fight between the Boos went on and on.

It looked like they gathered 36 Power Stars by now...

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"Well done!" Polari said. "The Purple Coin Comet has left the galaxies, meaning that no more Purple Coin missions are left!"

"Finally!" Mario said with a sigh. "I was starting to hate all that by myself... Thank you, you guys."

"Er, one question." Chris began.

"Yes?"

"Shouldn't we...I don't know...be working instead of celebrating?"

"I've got to say," Samus began. "Calling all of us here just to celebrate that the dammed coins are gone is pointless."

"Let's celebrate AFTER we defeat the army." Falco said with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"..." Mario facepalmed and frowned.

"Maaaaaaaaaaaail!" Mailtoad began as he ran to Mario and gave him one of Peach's letters. "This already came today, and it's from the princess!"

"...Wait..." Olimar began. "Isn't Princess Peach...kidnapped?"

"Why'd she send a letter?" Luigi asked.

"Or how did she send the letter?" the other Luigi asked.

"..." Chris closed his eyes and buried his face on his hands.

"...You okay, Chris?" C. Falcon asked.

"No-o-oo..." Chris sobbed. "Nothing here...nothing here makes sense at all..."

"...You're right on that..." C. Falcon said as he looked at the other Luigi, then the mail.

Bowser's Galaxy Reactor
Princess Peach's Castle

Super Mario Galaxy - Bigmouth Galaxy

Very far away from their location, a castle (that you know which was it since you probably saw the description) that was floating in the middle of the space, close to a huge magma planet with holes was shown. On an airship, there was Bowser grabbing Rosalina's arm while King Dedede and Charizard were there. Bowser Jr. was steering the ship to land close to the door of the castle where Peach was being held.

"Bah!" Bowser complained. "Why can't the stupid Shadow Bugs take over your body?!"

"Because I'm protected by the galaxies," Rosalina replied without even looking at Bowser. "Those Shadow Bugs only managed to break apart my shield, but they cannot control me since I have the galaxy's eternal protecti-"

Bowser pushed Rosalina into the castle, where the doors opened, after hearing her explanation before they closed as the king of the Koopas looked at the Subspace villains with anger. "You! You said it was going to work on her!"

"Well, excuse us!" Charizard said with a glare. "How we were supposed to know that she can't be controlled?"

"I'm talking to the guys that are with that Tabuu guy!"

"Don't dare to make my Papa angry!" Bowser Jr. threatened them. "My Papa knows when to rant and when to MURDER someone." Bowser Jr. said, making the murder part sound deeper.

Dedede rolled his eyes. "Hey, they ain't comin' here without her. At least those bugs did somethin' good."

"Yeah..." Bowser crossed his arms and nodded. "Rosalina has the power to move the observatory, and without her, they're pretty much useless even if they gather all the Power Stars."

Charizard smirked. "All in all, everything is fine."

Dedede lookd at the Subspace Bomb located inside the huge magma planet. "The bigger the bomb, the longer the countdown." Dedede said.

Charizard looked at the bomb, that was big enough to be a small planet. "36 hours with 34 minutes? Too stupid..."

Dedede grinned. "They ain't comin' here."

"True enough..."

"BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Bowser laughed maniacally. "Finally! A chance to beat Mario has finally come! It was about time I got what I rightfully deserve!"

"You're dah man! Papa!" Bowser Jr. said wiping a tear. "I-I wish I could be so awesome like you..."

"Aww, c'mere, jr.!" Bowser hugged his son tightly as the other 2 looked disgusted.

"...Remind me why he has to join us after this again..." Charizard whispered to Dedede, who nodded with a worried look.

Meanwhile, inside the castle as the airship flew away...

"..." Rosalina looked outside the window just to catch a glimpse of a shooting star. "..." Rosalina closed her eyes in preocupation.

Super Mario Galaxy - Sad Story

"Hello?... Who are you?"

Rosalina heard a voice from behind her and she turned his back to find none other than Peach, looking at her confused.

"I didn't know there was another princess before..." Peach said.

"Oh," Rosalina began. "You must be Mario's special one. Mario told me about you."

Peach blushed a bit but tried to ignore that compliment.

"Mario..." Peach looked down. "I've been sending letters to him to tell him that I'm fine..."

"Have you been thinking about Mario all this time?"

Peach looked at her. "It's...the only person I can think of...to save me from this same danger."

"Same danger?"

Peach nodded. "Bowser has been doing this a lot of times in the past, and I'm getting bored of this repeated move..."

"I see," Rosalina nodded. "But Mario is always rescuing you."

"Yes," Peach nodded. "I know he isn't going to fail this time..."

Rosalina chuckled. "Yes, he isn't going to."

"O-oh," Peach felt embarrassed. "I-I'm sorry for not asking you who you are."

"My name is Rosalina," Rosalina introduced herself. "I'm the Lumas' mother and one of the residents of the observatory."

"Lumas?" Peach repeated before recalling something. "Yes, I forgot. I wanted to give Mario a Luma before all this chaos started."

Rosalina chuckled. "That Luma is right now helping him."

"W-what? You know Mario?"

Some time later...

Rosalina explained everything to Peach several hours later. Both were sitting in a nearby sofa for 2 or more as Peach tried to understand the whole problem that Rosalina was explaining to her. "And they're currently trying to get here as soon possible to rescue you and save the galaxy." Rosalina finished.

"..." Peach closed her eyes. "Then...all hope is lost?"

"No," Rosalina shook her head. "There is still hope. I know there is another way to get here and they will find it."

"And you don't know?"

"I certainly not...but I do believe."

Peach blinked. "...So, everyone else joined Mario to rescue me and save the galaxy."

"Yes. It was very fortunate that they came to help during our time of need."

"I hope they don't get hurt that much along the way..."

Rosalina chuckled. "Don't worry, I have complete faith in them that they will succeed."

"...Thank you for cheering me up..." Peach said with a small smile.

Rosalina smiled a bit. "You're welcome, Peach."

Peach noticed that Rosalina sighed once she looked outside the window. "What's wrong?" Peach asked tilting her head at the side.

"I'm...I'm quite worried about the Lumas...because they don't know how to take care of themselves yet."

"They're just little babies, right?"

"Yes," Rosalina turned to her. "I don't want to think about what could they do when I'm not around. They could get very sad and cry all the day for me..."

"They must love you very much..."

A tear strolled down on Rosalina's righr cheek as she nodded. "I wish...they're safe now..."

"..." Peach closed her eyes. "If I was thinking that Mario was done for, and you cheered me by saying that he was going to success...I should do the same with you and tell you that they're fine."

"..." Rosalina chuckled a little and nodded. "You're right...they can go through this..."

"Besides..." Peach put a finger on her chin and looked up. "Aren't the others there? They could be taking care of them as we speak right now."

"Yoshi."

"Yoshi?" Peach repeated.

"He has been with me and the Lumas for a time, and he most likely is taking care of them."

"Why?"

"Because he was eager to know what the next chapter of my favorite storybook contained. Yoshi has a trouble about getting interested in problematic troubles that he wants to help with."

"I see..." Peach nodded. "...You're trying to spark an interest in him with the storybook..."

Rosalina smiled a little and nodded. "Exactly. That was my task to do for him," Rosalina looked away. "...Hahaha..."

"What is so funny?"

"Knowing Yoshi..." Rosalina looked at Peach. "He could be reading the book for the Lumas."

Peach chuckled. "I think you're right."

"Oh," Rosalina began. "What do you do when you're kidnapped like this?"

Music stops

"As funny as it sounds, I'm always relaxing with a cup of tea," Peach took out 2 tea cups from her back. "And having someone to talk with could be more enjoyable. Do you want to join me?"

"Gladly." Rosalina said as she took the cup of tea. "...Hmm...how did you get that tea out from your back?"

Peach seemed to ignore that question as she took a sip.

"...Peach? How did yo-"

Peach took another sip.

"..." Rosalina merely chuckled and joined Peach before they started to become even closer to each other.

...However...

A loud screech suddenly was heard across the castle as everything shook slightly before stopping. Rosalina gasped a little and looked outside to see where did the screech come from.

"What was...that roar?" Rosalina asked.

Peach put her tea cup on a near table. "Ever since the penguin and the dragon came here, they brought some kind of pterodactyl with them," Peach thought for a moment. "But I think I saw it before...and its name...I think it started with an "R"...I think Samus told me but I don't know anymore..."

Rosalina suddenly got worried.

"...But everything should be fine." Peach reassured her.

"...Yes...it will..." Rosalina said with several slow nods.

Rolling Gizmo Galaxy
Gizmos, Gears and Gadgets

Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Bros. 3 Nostalgia

It was the time.

The time to get through the hardest missions.

The Trial Galaxies.

The galaxies that would put someone's courage into test.

The galaxies that would put extreme dexterity.

The galaxies that would scare the heck out of someone.

The galaxies that were created just to piss someone off to the extreme.

And that someone happened to be the other Luigi.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAA MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" the other Luigi yelled as the Star Roll (that was a bigger one, making everything harder) rolled insanely fast across the loops (extra ones). For his dismay, he was literally being rolled around the ball, helplessly crushing himself 5 times every second it passed. The Star Roll was rolling around like crazy and never before and...

...Wait a minute...

...The Star Roll just accelerated insanely fast on a loop and it went soaring to the skies, just towards the hole where it fit and released the Power Star out. The other Luigi managed to complete the mission...

...Now, the only thing he needed to do was to get out from under the Star Roll...

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" the other Luigi yelled.

Loopdeeswoop Galaxy
The Galaxy's Greatest Wave

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

"TO THE RIGHT! TO THE RIGHT!"

"THIS THING ISN'T LISTENING!"

If you think getting educated by Goombas during Summer Vacations was stressful, then think again, riding a Manta is even worse.

Geno and Twink were riding on the previously mentioned animal as it dangerously swam around the edges of the narrow water. Either the Manta wasn't obeying Geno's orders or Geno just plain sucked at surfing.

Or was it Twink?

"LEFT!" Twink yelled.

"That's IT!" Geno snapped out and stopped the Manta by pulling its antennas before glaring down at it. "Listen, I've been losing every single life out of Mario-" Geno lost 30 lifes out of Mario. "-because a stupid sea animal isn't doing a good job at surfing."

"E-er, Geno, I think it's not the Mant-"

"Tell me something," Geno began as he aimed his fist at the Manta. "You want to keep on living, right?"

The Manta seemed to get shocked and it nodded quickly.

"Good. Now, or YOU take us to the finish line..." Geno prepared his rocket punch. "OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WAKE UP ON A GRILL, WHERE THE PEOPLE WILL EAT YOUR BRAINS OUT OF YOU!!!"

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!!"

"..." Geno and Twink looked at each other. "...Did it just yell?" both asked confused.

The sound of a motor was heard before both looked down at the Manta who instantly accelerated and went swimming across the course. Geno was hanging on for dear life from the Manta's tail while Twink was holding his cape to stay close. The penguins and the Coach that watched from the anti-gravitatory platforms were utterly amazed at Geno's amazing (reckless) surfing skills as they cheered loudly.

"SLOW! SLOW! SLOW!" Geno yelled.

"SLOWER! SLOWER! SLOWER!" Twink added.

Several seconds later...

"For clearing the course in a galactic record of 0:25:29..." the Coach began as he took out a Power Star from his hand (scientifically impossible and questionable). "I hereby grant Geno the Power Star!"

"..." Geno just remained on the top and the middle of the first, second and third places as he just extended his hand to get the Power Star...before he fell behind without even having any kind of emotion as he left the galaxy without even screaming as he disappeared in the clouds from down below.

The penguins and the Coach looked down the long fall with amused looks. "Say," the Coach turned to Twink. "Is your friend going to be fine?"

"After he gets over the Manta trauma and the Surfing trauma..." Twink wondered a little bit. "...I guess yes..."

"...Marvelous!" the Coach exclaimed happily. "We can't wait to see another performance from the Great Surfer Geno!"

"..." Twink gave him a bored look with a sigh.

Bubble Blast Galaxy
The Electric Labyrinth

Super Mario Galaxy - Space Junk Galaxy

"..." Mario was shown, getting through the Bullet Bills that tried to make him fall as the bubble that he rode merely evaded all of them. Inside the plumber's mind, he was thinking about Peach and Rosalina while he looked at the emptyness of the space. "(...I hope we can defeat Bowser...)" Mario thought simply as the bubble was moved around by an unknown force. "(...Peach...Rosalina...hang on a little longer...we're almost there...)"

Comet Observatory
Library

Around that time, the Smashers were able to gather 40 Power Stars and the Lumas were excited to read the next chapter of the storybook.

Yoshi opened the book and the story thus continued its track...

Super Mario Galaxy - Prologue

Chapter 7                                 

                                -The Telescope-

                                    Page 1                                   

After seeing their 100th comet, a sudden thought popped into the girl's head:
   "I wonder if my home planet is still as blue as it was." That's when she
                      remembered her father's telescope.

                                    Page 2                                   

Peeking into the telescope, a tiny blue dot floated into sight. It was smaller
  than a Star Bit. "How strange... It's so far away, but it feels so close."

                                    Page 3                                   

She twisted the knob of the telescope, and the blue dot grew until she could
  make out a grassy hill dotted with flowers. It seemed very familiar to her.
   Zooming even closer, a terrace on the hill came into view. "I used to go
               stargazing there when I lived on my home planet."

                                    Page 4                                   

She remembered rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she followed her father
                       up that hill to look at the stars...

Something along those lines made Yoshi uncomfortable...

                                   

Page 5                                   

      She remembered how she and her brother would sled down that hill...

The Yoshi knew that this wasn't going to end well for the chapter...

                                   

Page 6                                   

She remembered having picnics with her mother on that hill on bright and windy
                                days... And...

"...!!!" Yoshi gasped as the Lumas got confused.

"W-what is wrong? You can't read?" a yellow Luma asked.

"..." Yoshi, nevertheless, kept reading...

                       

Super Mario Galaxy - Sad Story

                                    Page 7                                   

"I want to go home! I want to go home right now!" The girl burst into tears,
and the Lumas didn't know what to do. "I want to go home! I want to go back to
my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!" The girl was shouting now, her
  face wet with tears. "But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she
               wasn't out there in the sky! Because...because..."

The Lumas and even Yoshi were starting to sniff in silence after hearing (or reading) the girl's pleas for her mother...

Music stops

                                    Page 8                                   

"She sleeping under the tree on the hill!" The girl's cries echoed through the
                    stars, and a hush fell over the area.

"...No..." a green Luma muttered. "S-she...she lost...she lost her..."

"..." Yoshi, somehow, was able to understand something about the girl in the book. "...H-huh?" Yoshi wiped some tears. "I-it's something wrong?"

"She lost her mama too..." a red Luma muttered with some sniffs. "...And...just like us..."

"..." Yoshi felt horrible after the chapter made everything worse for the Lumas. "...I told you before that you haven't lost Rosalina yet!"

"A-and...what about her?" a green Luma asked.

"..." Yoshi looked at the chimney. "...Let's take a nap and we'll see what is next in the next chapter..."

"..." some Lumas started crying silently, making Yoshi feel sad before he stood up and picked some of them to put the Lumas on his back (at least 3 sat behind while he held one).

"There, there..." Yoshi whispered. "I know you're all still little babies, and I like babies, so please, don't cry because I don't want to see you cry..."

"..." the Lumas sniffed sadly as Yoshi tried to calm them down, thinking about Rosalina all the time.

Bonefin Galaxy
Kingfin's Fearsome Waters

Super Mario Galaxy - Kingfin/Bouldergeist (Fast)

"H-how the heck am I going to defeat that Shadow Bug possessed dead fish?!" Chris asked in panic as several robotic fishes from Dark Kingfin chased the World Traveler around the water. "AIR! AIR! I NEED AI-aw, thank god...SHI-"

BOOM!

Chris was knocked several feet away in the water by 1 of the robotic fishes that reached him and exploded. The World Traveler twitched in pain and looked at Dark Kingfin swimming like nothing around the water. "Okay..." Chris changed to his Pikmin Captain job. "If you want pain, then I'll give you pain...hold on, aren't you already dead?"

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"

"...Yes, thought as much..." Chris sweatdropped before he swam to the ground inside the water and pluck out the Pikmins. "...OH NO!" Chris noticed that the Pikmins weren't Blue Pikmins and thus drowned the instant they were pulled out. "Dammit!" Chris saw the robotic fishes going slowly after him ad he accelerated the process to call Pikmins...

1 by 1, they all died. Chris changed from Pikmin Captain to Pikmin Murderer.

"DAMMIT! MY LIFES FOR A BLUE PIKMIN!" Chris yelled angrily before he took out a Blue Pikmin and tossed it to the robotic fishes with all his forces, causing an explosion as he sighed in relief...then he saw that the Blue Pikmin died. "SCREW IT!" Chris yelled angrily as he changed to his PK Kid job. "PK FREEZE!"

Bad idea.

At the moment he called the ice mist, it instantly froze and made an ice cube that floated all the way up to the surface. Chris was really getting out of it all by himself before Dark Kingfin appeared from behind him and decided to eat him.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" Chris yelled in panic as he started a mad escape from the bone fish that tried to chomp his legs off.

If somebody could see the 2 (Chris and Dark Bonefin), they could be seen as small dots swimming all around the planet at a fast rate.

"WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Chris yelled at the dead fish without even slowing down his pace. "A BIG PAC-MAN?!"

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"

"WAS THAT A YES?!"

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!"

"I NEED HELP! SOMEBODY!" Chris yelled crying in panic.

He was dead. Nobody was going to rescue him since the others were doing their own missions on their own.

"..." Chris sniffed. "...I'm done for...I know I'm just going to take one of Mario's lifes but the pain is going to be brutal..." Chris looked back at the big boss that kept chasing him. "...I better write a will..." Chris took out a sheet of paper that got instantly wet. "Dammit!"

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!"

The World Traveler turned his head to see Dark Kingfin's mouth about to reach him and the teenager screamed. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

"...Huh?" Chris looked behind him and it seemed that there were shards from a Green Shell that apparently struck Dark Kingfin who roared in pain. "...Have the angels heard my pleas to survive?" Chris asked with joined hands to the sky.

"If those angels were foxes..."

Chris blinked confused before turning his back where he smiled a bit.

"I'd be one of them." Fox finished with a grin as he came down and joined Chris.

"Fox!" Chris said happily. "Thank you for saving me from my horrible and painful death!... Wait, how did you know I was in trouble?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Fox crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "I was going to give you my help and here I am, saving you."

"..." Chris stared at him with a bored look.

"...Fine, I got here by accident and forgot you were here."

"..." Chris sniffed and...hugged Fox who opened his eyes with a shocked look. "I knew you were going to save me..."

Fox shifted his eyes around and blushed a bit. "I-er...C-Chris...you can stop hugging me now..."

"Tell me one good reason."

Fox pointed at Dark Kingfin and Chris looked at it, roaring in fury. "I think he got mad after I kicked that Green Shell to him so..."

"Okay then!" Chris yelled from afar as Fox noticed that he instantly appeared behind a stone pillar. "Since you're so badass with the shells, I'll give you my full support..." Chris looked around. "...From over here!"

Fox rolled his eyes. "Tsk..."

"..." Chris shyly swam over to Fox. "F-fine, I'll fight too."

"That's more like it." Fox said with a nod.

Several minutes later...

Music stops

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!" Dark Kingfin roared in extreme pain as it began to evaporate until it vanished. A nearby treasure chest opened up and it shot a Power Star to both of them.

Chris (having a scar on his right cheek and missing his left shoe with some ripped parts of his stripped clothes) smiled at Fox. "Wow, I didn't know we could take it down by ourselves so well by putting the Green Shells at specific locations to then kick them at it where it didn't expect them at all!"

Fox (who had one sleeve lost and some scars on his mouth) grinned. "Heh, you're forgetting that you're talking to the leader of Star Fox, who happens to be a professional strategist for air, ground and even water battles."

"Amen for that, Fox," Chris high-fived with Fox. "Amen for that."

Fox grabbed the Power Star and looked at Chris. "Now let's go ba-"

"...Fox?" Chris moved a hand in front of Fox, who apparently wasn't doing any kind of expressions with his face. "...Are you okay? Fox?"

Fox simply made the death pose and floated all the way up to the surface.

...But that death pose wasn't fake at all...

"..." Chris looked at his air meter. "...OH HOLY-"

Ding!

Chris fainted and went all the way up, where he joined the vulpine and floated on the surface before the screen panned out. Both were so distracted in the fight that they forgot about their air meters completely.

Be glad they at least got the Power Star before it could vanish.

Comet Observatory
Library

Slowly, 1 by 1, they all gathered more Power Stars. By this time, they have gathered 45 Power Stars, and also, Yoshi was able to calm the Lumas down after some time, a silent time to be exact.

"You're not going to cry, right?" Yoshi asked to the Lumas.

"N-no..." a yellow Luma said. "I'm fine..."

Yoshi carefully put the Lumas back to their cradles, he returned to the sofa and took a seat to open back the storybook. "Okay, what do you say if we see the next chapter?"

The Lumas looked at each other before they nodded. It seemed that the happy mood was slowly coming back to them as Yoshi chuckled and read the next chapter...

Super Mario Galaxy - Prologue

Chapter 8                                 

                                   -The Wish-

                                    Page 1                                   

   Though usually quite cheery, one day the girl became sad again. Luma drew close and tried to comfort her. "Mama, you still have me!" "And don't be sad about your mama, because she's a part of you! That means she's always close by! It's like me. I love Star Bits because they remind me of my mama."
             
"No...no..." the girl said, unable to stop the tears.

                                    Page 2                                   

A lonely look flickered across Luma's face, but it was soon replaced by a wide grin. "I have an idea! I will transform into a comet, a soaring comet that can carry you all on this journey!"

                                    Page 3                                   

With that, Luma, trailing bands of white, soared high into the sky and just as quickly started to plummet back down. KABOOM! KABLAM! The ground shook, and a bright light poured out of the crater that the Luma had created.

                                    Page 4                                   

   The bands of light twisted together to form a comet tail. And then Luma
                          emerged, reborn as a comet.

                                    Page 5                                   

The girl could scarcely believe her eyes. "But...how?" she kept asking.

"Our destiny as Lumas is to transform into different things," said a red Luma who had suddenly appeared. "Stars, comets, planets... We can become all of these things!"

"When I grow up, I want to become a star that makes someone special
  smile," said a green Luma.

A blue Luma chimed in, "That Luma turned into a real cutie of a comet, didn't he!"

                                    Page 6                                   

  All of the Lumas together said, "No more crying, Mama!"

"Thank you..." said the girl in a whisper, and she pulled the Lumas close and hugged them. From that day on, Star Bits no longer feel from the girl's eyes.

                                    Page 7                                   

The comet set forth for the girl's home planet, its long tail blazing proudly
                                  behind it.

Music stops

"...That's true!" a green Luma began. "We can become into anything! Stars, comets and planets!"

Yoshi looked at the Lumas.

A blue Luma made a happy expression. "I liked this chapter because it helped me to be happy again!"

"Yeah!" a red Luma began. "The girl got happy again with the help of the Lumas!"

"Like we do with Mama!" a yellow Luma said happily.

However, they all looked at each other before looking down in shame. Remembering Rosalina put them back into a sad mood.

"..." Yoshi suddenly got an idea. "It's too sad..."

"Huh?" the Lumas said in unison.

Yoshi looked away. "Your Mama is going to be sad after she comes back and she will feel disappointed after she gets to know that you were wishing the unhappy things..."

The Lumas gasped.

"After all..." Yoshi looked at the Lumas and smiled. "Very soon, she's going to return."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

A long moment of silence soon followed after Yoshi said that.

"...Well?" Yoshi asked confused.

"...She will return..." a yellow Luma said.

"She is going to return..." a red Luma said.

"She is coming back..." a green Luma said.

"Mama is returning! Mama is coming back!" a blue Luma cheered.

"Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama!!!"

It was a miracle. Yoshi managed to cheer the Lumas with his idea after all. The Lumas were now floating around the library as they chanted together her beloved mother around. The cheers even went all the way outside that made Polari come to the library.

"Wow, what is the sudden change of mood here?" Polari asked to Yoshi.

"I think I," Yoshi blushed a little bit. "I think I gave them hope about Rosalina being fine."

"Oh," Polari nodded. "Saying such positive things about Rosalina's safety was a good idea for these tykes," Polari looked at the Lumas cheering. "...Yoshi..."

"Yes?" Yoshi asked confused.

"You perfectly fit for the role to be their father."

"Yes, I believe that to-" a record suddenly scratched before Yoshi's eyes widened. "Wait, say what again?"

"You perfectly fit gor the role to be their father!" Polari repeated. "Just think about it! The Lumas are going to enjoy the idea to have a mother and a father here!"

"N-no!" Yoshi blushed embarrassed. "I-I mean, I like Rosalina but n-not that much! B-besides, we're different people!"

"Aw, who really cares about species these days? You 2 look cute together!"

The Lumas looked at Yoshi, who then gasped. "Uh-oh!" Yoshi yelped.

"Papa?" the Lumas said in unison.

"Oh no!"

"Papa!"

"OH NO!" Yoshi covered his eyes.

"Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa! Papa!!!"

The Lumas flew around Yoshi, who was covering his head in utter embarrassment as Polari laughed happily at this.

"That's my Yoshi!" Luigi said from over the door.

"I'm not that Yoshi!" Yoshi yelled back.

Gusty Garden Galaxy
The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows

"I believe I told you to go back."

"No."

Samus was annoyed once C. Falcon followed her to the galaxy of winds. "Ugh, I better be frank with you so you stop bothering me."

"Being frank about what?" C. Falcon asked before Samus raised a finger.

"1, I'm not looking for a boyfriend. 2, you were interesting but then got annoying so quickly and 3, get out of here."

"Um..." C. Falcon scratched his helmet a little. "...How do I go back now?"

Samus pointed at the black hole close to them.

"...Isn't there another less painful way?" C. Falcon asked.

Samus shook her head.

C. Falcon looked behind her. "...Oh hell no, there's another bunny from hell over there!"

Samus turned her back and found a Star Bunny trying to jump away from some kind of creature that was moving along the ground. She charged a shot and fired it completely charged at the moving creature that then roared in fury and got out. It was Major Burrows who was covered in the black aura of the Shadow Bugs as it fixed its eyes on the captain and the bounty hunter who took their stances.

Eternal Sonata - Leap the Precipice

"Great," C. Falcon began. "You made it angry."

"That thing was pursuing an innocent bunny," Samus said. "I hate cruelty to animals."

"Cruelty to bunniesthatmakeyouchasethemaroundandtireyoualotsayswhat?"

"What?"

"Exactly."

"Ugh, I knew you were annoying..." Samus said with a frown before Dark Major Burrows dove into the ground. "Oh, that reminds me, this mission has a Daredevil Comet."

"Told you," C. Falcon said as he jumped over Dark Major Burrows. "This place is just annoying!"

"As much as I hate to say this," Samus said as she charged a shot and filled it. "You're right on that for once."

Dark Major Burrows growled in fury and chased after Samus who sidestepped out of the way to let C. Falcon use Falcon Kick and pull the big mole out. It began to panic and ran away from both of them who seemed confused.

"...Why is it running away from us?" C. Falcon asked. "I thought the Shadow Bugs made it stronger..."

"My guess is that its original form wasn't that suppressed and it retained its normal traits...but it is stronger."

C. Falcon frowned and used Raptor Boost to deal an uppercut to the big Monty Mole, who got knocked unconscious but then growled furiously and burrowed its way to the ground. This time, however, it became red and its velocity got boosted greatly.

"Crap!" C. Falcon yelled as he was pushed away to the air and landed on the ground, twitching in pain. Samus looked at the dark creature charging towards her but she turned into her Morph Ball and dropped a bomb that exploded...and was stupidly enough to make the dark creature sprout out and run away in a hurry.

"Die." Samus said simply as she fired a missile to Dark Major Burrows, who gasped, stopped on its tracks and was pushed back. It then burrowed its way to earth and began to accelerate even more to them. "C. Falcon."

"Yeah?" C. Falcon asked.

"Would you mind if you use your punch when I tell you?"

C. Falcon grinned. "Not at all."

"Then please go over there." Samus pointed at the tree that was located in the center of the planet and the captain ran to it. Samus, meanwhile, looked at Dark Major Burrows charging at her, making her use her Morph Ball and roll towards the tree. "(If I'm correct, this monster should be a lot dumber enough to do this...)"

"FALCON..."

Samus quickly ran towards the tree and rolled out of the way as the Monty Mole took a peek outside but gasped once he saw C. Falcon about to land his punch on his face.

"PUNCH!" C. Falcon yelled as a blazing phoenix collided with Dark Major Burrows, who got punched out from the ground and ran away in panic. "It's all yours! Attack!"

"Already doing that." Samus said as she fired a Super Missile that exploded right into the monster's stomach, creating a lot of smoke as Dark Major Burrows yelled in extreme pain, its eyes turned into swirls and fainted before vanishing.

Music stops

"Boing!" the Star Bunny from before jumped to Samus. "Thank you for getting rid of that nasty monster! Boing! Here!" the Star Bunny took out a Power Star that Samus got. "Thank you very much! Boing!"

"Why we didn't kill the bunny first to get the star if we knew it had it all this time?" C. Falcon asked before Samus kicked him on his waist and fell on the ground.

...

"...What?!" Samus quickly turned her back to see a black figure flying away, which it made a loud screech that even made C. Falcon block his ears (even though they were inside his helmet), the Star Bunny even put his ears on its face. "...That screech again..."

C. Falcon got up. "Screech?"

Samus explained everything to him.

"Oh...but it's kind of funny..."

"Why is it funny?" Samus asked.

"I think I remember hearing the same screech and long time ago...but..." C. Falcon put a hand on his helmet. "It makes my head hurt for some reason..."

"...Strange..." Samus muttered as she wondered and looked at the figure getting away.

Comet Observatory
Library

There were around 50 Power Stars gathered by this point.

"...Hmm?" Yoshi looked at the storybook. "...We're in the final chapter?"

"Really?" the Lumas asked.

"Yes."

"Read it, Papa!"

"...I'm not your..." Yoshi recalled the 30 times he tried to stop them from calling "Papa" but ended up in failures. "...Okay. Let's see the last chapter..."

Super Mario Galaxy - Epilogue

Final Chapter

-Family-

Page 1                                    

With its many Lumas and telescopes, the comet was quite a sight to behond. The girl and the Lumas were proud to call it home. At a welcoming party for a new Luma, the girl gathered everyone in the kitchen and said in a louder voice than usual...

"All right, everyone! Let's make a cake! A cake sprinkled with Star Bits! Then it will be a star cake!" The Lumas excitedly began to gather the ingredients.

                                   Page 2                                    

As she watched the Lumas scurry about, the girl smiled and thought to herself, "This is my family now, and I will stay with them until they're ready to leave the nest. And when they do leave, I'll see them off with a smile."

"Because that's what makes a mother happiest."

                                   Page 3                                    

That night, when the girl lay down to sleep, a soft light enveloped her and
reminded her of the blue planet she once called home. "But it would be nice to return home once every one hundred years to nap in my favorite sleeping nook."

                                   Page 4                                    

 The comet carrying the Lumas and the girl continues on its journey to this
 very day. With more "family members" in tow than can be counted, it's said that the comet visits the girl's home planet once every hundred years, its proud white tail glittering in the sky.

                                   Page 5                                    

                                  -The End-

"...So that's it..." Yoshi said as he closed the books.

However, he found the Lumas sleeping deeply with silent happy murmurs. Yoshi couldn't help but he smiled and closed his eyes with a silent chuckle.

Yoshi looked back at the storybook. "I was wondering who was the girl in the whole story but..." Yoshi blinked several times before he opened the book again and looked at all the pictures of the girl. "...Wait...oh god... Now I feel stupid..." Yoshi took a closer look at the girl's image. "...She looks like a younger version of Rosalina..." Yoshi looked at no one in particular. "Because she is Rosalin-" Yoshi closed his mouth once he looked at the Lumas sleeping.

"Mama..." a yellow Luma murmured.

"Because she is Rosalina!" Yoshi yelled with a whisper. He then flipped through the pages. "Yes, she is her... The storybook is basically telling her past when she came to know the Lumas, the observatory, the comets an-"

Music stops

"...What the..." Yoshi felt a thick page that was apparently after the final chapter. Yoshi looked at the other side and there was nothing, save for the other cover. He narrowed his eyes at the thick page. "Why is this page too thick?..."

With a closer look, Yoshi found something...

The thick page was, in fact, a bunch of new pages that he separated. Each new page contained what looked to be texts for a diary.

"Is this...a secret section for a diary?" Yoshi asked confused. "...Maybe there's something else in here. Hmm..."

Drip Drop Galaxy
Giant Eel Outbreak

Super Mario Galaxy - Beach Bowl Galaxy

A trail of 6 Blue Pikmins was seen and on the front, Olimar was swimming through the water with all the peace he wanted.

"..." Olimar just remained silent through his little time with his Blue Pikmins.

"Hey!" a penguin shouted from an island. "I thought you were going to get rid of the eels down there! We can't play if they're around!"

However, something was different about Olimar. He told his Blue Pikmins to pick a Green Shell each and hide somewhere. Olimar found the eels (that were possessed by the Shadow Bugs) and found him as well before they began to swim after him. Olimar merely remained in his place and whistled loudly. The Blue Pikmins' leaves perked up and they all kicked the Green Shells at the eels, each one receiving 2 hits that made them vanish into Shadow Bugs that vanished in the water.

"Hurray! The eels are gone! We can play again!" the penguin from before told his other friends that cheered before entering the water, swimming happily around. "Thank you, mister! Thank you and your plants!"

"Pikmins," Olimar corrected with a nod. "Blue Pikmins."

"Okay, then!" the penguin pointed at the sunken ship that was close to them. "I think you were looking for that!"

Olimar looked behind him and found the Power Star he was looking for. His Pikmins swam to it and took it back to him. "Yes." Olimar said.

"Again, thank you for getting rid of the eels! Even though your "Pikmins" did all the work!"

"Lazy bastard!" another penguin said smiling.

"..." Olimar just swam away, wondering what was so exciting to make the penguins smile for his work that the Pikmins did for him.

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"AND THEY CALLED ME LAZY BASTAAAAAARD!" Olimar cried.

Chris hugged Olimar who hugged him back. "We're almost done here. You suffered a lot this time... I'm sorry..."

"S-sniff..."

Chris cried toon tears. "(Why is this place so fixiated to make us feel humiliated?!)"

Library

They were almost finished in the gathering of the Power Stars. Only 1 remained at it was laying in the Melty Molten Galaxy.

Yoshi was shown snoring loudly as the storybook acted like a hat on top of his head (eyes) while the other Lumas were also snoring silently. "H-huh?" Yoshi opened his eyes. "...Oh god...I think I fell asleep... Well," Yoshi grabbed the storybook. "This happens when you don't sleep..."

It looked like Yoshi finished reading the secret pages but felt asleep afterwards.

The Yoshi stared at the storybook. "...Should I tell the others about the diary I found or..."

Yoshi decided what was best now...

Read the whole storybook again since he can! Then tell the others.

Melty Molten Galaxy
Purple Coins on the Lava Spire Daredevil Cosmic Race

"Hurray..." Twink said bored as heated meteors fell from the space. "We're in Falco's fantasy."

"Hey," Falco glared at him. "I liked the heat only when I got here 1 time, not 3 times."

"4 times." C. Falcon corrected him.

"Wait..." Chris looked at the others. "Why were all here again?"

It seemed that everyone except Yoshi were now working on the last Power Star as Mario's request. The Daredevil Comet and the Purple Coin Comet were circulating around the galaxy of magma.

"Because Polari said that a very strong lecture revealed that this galaxy had big changes." Mario explained.

"On top of that," Samus began as she pointed forward. "We have our own clones."

They all looked to where she pointed to find what looked to be...their cosmic clones, along with Cosmic Mario and Cosmic Luigi.

"There's that guy." C. Falcon said pointing at Cosmic Luigi.

"A-and also," the other Luigi went on. "We only have 1 health to survive..."

"A-and also," Olimar went on. "We have to gather the Purple Coins again..."

They all stared at Mario with annoyed looks. "...What?" Mario asked.

"You said we were done with the Purple Coins." Geno said.

Mario chuckled nervously. "Y-yes, but I guess this one slipped by my mind...so yes..."

"..." everyone just frowned and looked at their cosmic clones.

"Aw, look!" Twink pointed at a cosmic clone of himself. "They think I'm a threat so they did a clone out of me!"

"And that's good because?" Fox asked with crossed arms.

"...I guess it's not..." Twink said, sticking out his tongue a little.

Either the cosmic clones took this little action as an idea or they just did it for the heck of it. The cosmic clones stuck out their long tongues that almost touched the original's faces before they sucked their tongues back with several high-pitched chuckles.

C. Falcon looked at the long trail of Purple Coins going to the volcano, then almost everywhere. The trail itself went to the little spheres hovering above the volcano, then Pull Stars that were located around miniature suns, then to a Launch Star that was directed towards the Lava Spire, where more Purple Coins were located. "...Man, ain't this looking hard..."

Mario looked at the clones. "I guess we should run our way through this unscathed..."

The cosmic clones stomped the floor in front of them and toward the Smashers with high-pitched grunts.

"...Why do I think they're not here to race us?" Falco asked, rolling his eyes.

"...Because..." Chris trailed off before the cosmic clones charged at them.

Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Bros. 3 Nostalgia 2

"THEY'RE HERE TO KILL US!" Chris yelled before they all began to long way towards the last Purple Coin while evading the meteors, the lava and whatever thing decided to stop them.

They all arrived at a sinking platform where it began to slowly awfully fast because of all their weights combined. The Smashers quickly double jumped to reach the other side in time...

...Before a cosmic Grapple Beam latched on Samus and tossed her out of the planet.

"AAaaaaaaaaaaahhh..." Samus yelled as they noticed that Cosmic Samus chuckled evily with its high-pitched chuckles.

"...That wasn't a scream..." C. Falcon commented before shaking his head. "I mean, hey! They tossed her out!"

At that moment, Cosmic Samus vanished into nothing.

"A-ha," Geno said. "Once they eliminate their original version, they'll disappear."

"Funny, I though they were going to get rid of the Luigis first." Falco said.

"Wait just a minute," Chris glared at Falco once the Luigis looked down sadly. "That sounded a little bit like a bully."

"H-hey, why are you walking to me like that?" Falco asked backing away.

"You need to learn that not because someone looks cool, older or very focused on something doesn't mean that person is going to die first! I really hate that!"

"C-Chris! S-stop! You're pushing me to the edge!"

"That's the idea!"

"What?"

KICK!

"I REALLY HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU!!!" Falco yelled before he sank into the magma down below.

"...Was that really necessary?" Fox asked once Cosmic Falco chuckled and vanished.

"Sorry," Chris closed his eyes annoyed. "But he had to learn the hard way and I hope he did, because I'm not going to go easy on him next time. You're not like that, are you?"

"Of course not..." Fox put his hand on Chris's right shoulder and grinned a little bit to him. "Good job, Chris."

Chris made a happy expression. "Oh, thank you, Fox!"

"Bleh." Fox responded.

"What?"

Fox fainted and fell inside the lava as Chris found Cosmic Fox extending its index finger to where Fox once was. Cosmic Fox chuckled and vanished. "H-hey! That's not fair!"

"HURRY!" C. Falcon yelled as Chris barely dodged a bomb from his cosmic version (that was apparently using the Swordsman job as him) and quickly climbed the wall close to them.

"Hmm-hmm-hmm..." Chris hummed happily as he used several wall jumps. "I just LOVE when these jobs give me other abilities."

"Enter! Enter! Gather Purple Coins! Enter!" Mario instructed the remaining 7 to enter the small Launch Star that shot them inside the volcano before shooting them back to the little capsules with the Purple Coins. they quickly dispersed around the planets before the cosmic clones came from below and chased them.

"NoooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Chris yelled once a cosmic arrow struck down his back before fainting. Cosmic Chris chuckled evily before vanishing.

"Leave him here!" Mario yelled once he found the Pull Stars that used their powers to pull him at them. C. Falcon, Olimar, the Luigis, Geno and Twink soon followed him with their cosmic clones as well.

"Wa-wa-wait!" C. Falcon yelled once a Pull Star inexplicably tossed him to a minature sun where he screamed in pain before fainting. Cosmic C. Falcon snapped its fingers in frustration since it didn't get to kill the captain by itself before vanishing.

"We need to move faster!" Geno yelled looking back. "They're catching up with us!"

Luigi looked behind him and gasped once Cosmic Luigi chuckled evily and extended his hand to him. "N-NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"Pikmins!" Olimar yelled as the Pikmins quickly formed a chain using themselves to reach Luigi and pull it to the Launch Star nearby, thus saving him from being touched as he was blasted off to the Lava Spire with the others following.

"Oh no!" Mario gasped. "There are more Purple Coins but they are going downwards!"

"..." Geno closed his eyes and ran to the opppsite way for the other Purple Coins.

Mario shed a tear. "H-he was just like this when we faced Yaridovich too..."

"AHEM!" Twink reminded Mario about the other trail of Purple Coins going upwards.

The remaining 5 quickly ran upwards around the Lava Spire before Cosmic Twink appeared from below, scared Twink and licked his face a little.

"Y-yuck!" Twink said disgusted. "Oh, right, bleh." Twink's eyes turned into Xs and fainted with a thud sound. Cosmic Twink chuckled evily and vanished afterward.

"...M-Mario..." the Luigis began in unison as they trembled.

"Yes?" Mario asked his brothers (yes, it was weird).

"THE SPIRE IS SINKING FASTER!" the Luigis yelled in unison as the red plumber noticed that the spire was indeed sinking faster than before. The plumbers and Olimar quickly accelerated their pace around the spire, climbing a wall before running to the opposite direction as they grabbed the Purple Coins.

"O-oh, petals in a soup!" Olimar cursed once he looked behind where a Purple Coin was about to enter the lava. "I-I'm sorry but I'll have to sacrifice myself!" Olimar yelled as he changed directions and went after the Purple Coin...where Cosmic Olimar was standing between him and the coin. "Y-you won't stop me!" Olimar yelled as he used his Pikmin Chain to push Cosmic Olimar out of the way and into the lava.

The captain reached the coin and suddenly got an idea. "...What if I try to think about what could I do with the Pikmins even more in fights?"

He looked down and found lava already sinking his feet.

"...Oh boy..." Olimar said simply and he sunk inside with his Pikmin dying.

Olimar lost 1006 Pikmins now.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" the Luigis yelled in unison as their cosmic counterparts leaped out from the top and touched them on their noses. The Luigis fell on their backs and then fainted as the Cosmic Luigis chuckled evily and fainted.

"..." Mario glared at his cosmic clone that was trying to touch him. "Oh no, you won't stop me!" Mario yelled as he jumped over the stones while his clone followed suit.

The spire was almost going to sink totally as the Marios were reaching the top. Mario was about to forget a coin but he quickly turned, jumped quickly to it and used a fast wall jump to rocket back to his position while Cosmic Mario snapped its fingers in frustration.

"Almost...there..." Mario panted heavily. The heat of the place was tiring him out slowly.

Music stops

"!!!" Mario wasn't able to reach the last Purple Coin because Cosmic Mario landed a small touch on his back. The red plumber's eyes widened before he fell down as his clone chuckled and vanished in thin air.

Their efforts were useless after all...

...

"...There it is!"

A figure took the last Purple Coin and the Power Star appeared on the top. The figure quickly ran to it and took it on his hands, stopping the spire from sinking down.

The figure held the Power Star up in triumph as it shone brightly, blinding everything in sight...

Comet Observatory

Super Mario Galaxy - Comet Observatory 3

"HURRAY!" Chris and Twink cheered as the World Traveler hugged Geno tightly.

"Bless the holy salt waters!" Olimar said happily.

The figure that grabbed the Power Star was no one else than Geno, who, as he explained before, climbed the sinking rocky wall that was close to his location. The puppet climbed as fast as he could to the summit and he managed to accomplish his objective to grab the coin and the Power Star in time.

"That was sure risky but admirable," Samus remarked. "Well done."

"Thanks," Geno said before Chris released him. "Luckily, I was able to do it in time."

"How is the merging process going?" Mario asked to the leader.

"Very smoothly," the leader said holding a blueprint. "However, we need the last Power Star before we can go to Bowser."

"...Huh?" Mario looked at his list. "...Oops."

"You forgot a star, right?" C. Falcon asked.

"...Yes..." Mario sweatdropped.

"Oh, please," Luigi pleaded. "Tell me it's not somewhere dangerous. Somewhere were we can relax because I'm so tired and pretty much scared to my last hair!"

Samus backed away from him.

"I-I mean, the hair on my head."

"...Okay, that left a disgusting image in my mind," the other Luigi said trembling.

"Y-yes..." Chris shrugged.

Gateway Galaxy
Gateway's Purple Coins

"MAAAAAAAARIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!?!?!?" the Smashers said utterly annoyed.

"Okay, okay! Fine! I'm sorry! I forgot about this one as well!" Mario yelled annoyed.

Super Mario Galaxy - Gateway Galaxy

Chris sighed. "If you want, I can go around the planet because there are no enemies around... I'll let you all relax while I go by mys-" Chris noticed that everyone was already laying down on the grass, watching the Star Bits falling through the galaxy. "...Well, fine! I'll get the Red Star by myself!" Chris said before grunting, then he walked away.

"Did you hear something?" Luigi asked.

"No," the other Luigi replied by a mutter.

Close to where they were laying down, Chris was limbing the stairs to the mini castle and found Red Luma there. "Oh, you must be one of Rosalina's friends. She really trusts all of you so much."

"Really?" Chris asked.

"Yep, she likes everyone she meets if they're good that is."

The Red Luma made a snapping sound and Purple Coins appeared around the planet.

"You need to gather all the Purple Coins to get the Power Star. Here, I'll provide you my aid to let you use the Red Star," the Red Luma turned into a Red Star that floated above the ground.

"...This is something I'm really going to enjoy FOREVER..." Chris said as his eyes reflected the Red Star's image.

Super Mario Galaxy - Power to Fly

Luigi let out a long yawn before he slowly opened his eyes. "...Just 2 more minutes..." Luigi muttered.

Luigi saw Chris flying just above him. The World Traveler waved a hand at him before flying away.

Luigi smiled a little bit and closed his eyes...before he opened them back and sat up to see the World Traveler flying around with a red version of his clothes, but his hat was black along with his sleeves and pants.

"Chris?" Samus (being the only one that was just sitting down without sleeping) asked surprised.

"Hello!" Chris said from afar. "You guys can relax while I enjoy my time in the air. You won't believe how GREAT is to fly around wherever you want to go!" the World Traveler said happily. "So please, just rest and leave me all the fun for me!" Chris said with a chuckle before he flew off.

"...H-hey!" Luigi stood up. "I want to fly too!" Luigi then ran to the castle.
