A strange event had come to the land of Gensokyo. Strange small colorful meteors rained down from the sky throughout the land. Everyone thought that this was the beginning of an incident. Nitori and her Kappa friends looked into these strange colorful objects, and found that they meant no harm. Their machines indicated that these colorful objects were called Star Bits, harmless little objects that were raining from the sky and would bounce on the ground repeatedly, scattering around the land until the ground was littered with Star Bits. Some hungry Youkai had the bright idea to bite into it to see what they tasted like. To their surprise, it tasted just like honey.
Word spread around the land about this revelation, as the humans in the Human Village gathered up the Star Bits and took a bite, before they all decided to put these peculiar Star Bits into their food. Star Bit sandwiches, Star Bits in pasta, Star Bits in cake, just to name a few.
At the Hakurei Shrine itself, Reimu Hakurei didn't seem too fond of these peculiar Star Bits… especially when they kept smacking her in the head during her nap on her roof. "Blagh! What is WITH these things?!" She demanded to know. "Can't a girl nap in peace?!"
"Oh, silly Reimu." A voice said as Reimu groaned at the sound of the voice.
"Ugh, what do you WANT Yukari?" She asked, turning her head to see Yukari popping out of a gap.
"These Star Bits taste like honey. They mean you no harm."
"Yeah, but they're ruining my nap!"
"Oh, so these harmless things is the one thing that ruins your day?" Yukari smiled cheekily.
"Oh… I… oh shut up!" Reimu growled as Yukari chuckled to herself. "Seriously though, where did these come from?"
Yukari hummed to herself. "It's a mystery."
"…What did you do."
Yukari chuckled, pulling out her fan and bringing it close to her face. "Oh come now. Do you really think I'm the one who could pull a stunt like this? If anything, it could've been Kanako." She said, only to smile when Reimu kept glaring at her. "Oh, don't give me that look."
"I doubt even Kanako would do this. You did something, didn't you?"
"You caught me." Yukari chuckled. "Let's just say that I came across this unknown land when I was bored and wouldn't you know it, these strange things were falling toward the ground. They were calling it a Star Festival."
"Oh? And what is this strange land?"
"Hmm hmm hmm. The Mushroom Kingdom."
Reimu raised an eyebrow. "Is that what you're calling those poisonous mushrooms in the forest now?"
"Hmm, if that's what you want to believe, then that's what you want to believe." Yukari said as she opened up a gap. "Before I leave, I suggest that you use these Star Bits to your advantage. Who knows, you might make a party out of this, and perhaps you might get some money in that donation box of yours." She said and then walked in.
"Tch. A party with these annoying things? Yeah right…" Reimu folded her arms, but then about a few seconds later, she rubbed her chin in thought. "Hey Suika! Get the tables! I have an idea!"
Meanwhile, in outer space…
A lone space princess looked over at the planet before her. "The Mushroom Kingdom." She whispered to herself.
"Mama, do you want to go and see what it looks like?" A yellow star shaped creature flew over to her. "It has been a hundred years since you've visited."
"It has." She said. "I'm curious to see how much I've missed."
"Well, I suggest that you go out there and explore! It won't hurt to see the sights." A black star shaped creature said. "After all, this is your original home."
"Indeed." The woman nodded. "I will begin my preparations." She said and walked off, when suddenly a loud explosion shook the very Observatory. "What?!" She asked in surprise as the Star Creatures started flying around in a panic. "Polari! What's going on?!"
"I have no idea! I didn't think we'd be attacked!" The Black Star creature, Polari, exclaimed. "Agh, what is going on? The Engine Room is still stable, so it's not that… so what could possibly-" Another explosion shook the Observatory. "We're probably under attack!"
"But what could be attacking us?" The woman wondered.
"Mama, look!" A Pink Star creature called out as they turned to see airships approaching.
BGM: Bowser Jr's Airship Armada (Super Mario Galaxy)
The airships stopped at the Observatory, and before the princess could do anything to protect her home, a cannon launched directly at the Engine Room, cutting off the main power and powering down the Observatory. "What in the cosmos?!" The woman asked and then the main Airship slowly moved forward to the Observatory before stopping, and then a giant turtle dragon landed in front of the woman. "Who are you?!" She demanded.
The creature chuckled. "I am King Bowser, and I am here to take your Power Stars!" He demanded.
"Why do you need such a thing?" The woman asked.
"Why?" Bowser chuckled. "Because I desire to make the grandest of galaxies in the center of the universe! Now hand them over… whoever you are! Seriously, who are you?"
The woman clenched her fists. "My name is Princess Rosalina… and if you think you can take the Power Stars from me…" She then summoned her wand. "You got another thing coming." She said, aiming it at the Koopa King.
End BGM
Bowser chuckled. "Heh, you don't look so tough."
"Do not underestimate the Queen of the Cosmos." Rosalina threatened.
"Queen? Pfft, you said you were a princess. But no matter… I'll take care of you EASILY!" Bowser said before roaring while Rosalina readied herself.
BGM: King Bowser (Super Mario Galaxy)
Bowser ran toward the princess, pulling back his fist and punching her, but Rosalina put up a protective forcefield and she sent out a small shockwave that knocked the Koopa King back, as she then raised her wand up that lifted the Koopa King in the air and she threw him down as her wand glowed brightly and she aimed it at the Koopa King, where shooting stars were launched out of the wand as Bowser got back up and swatted the Shooting Stars away with his arms as he got into his shell and rolled toward the space princess.
Rosalina jumped to the side to dodge the attacks and then used her telekinetic force to stop Bowser in his tracks and then she threw him to the ground, tossing him on the ground repeatedly and then stopped when Bowser got out of his shell as he cracked his knuckles before breathing fire at her, but Rosalina crossed her arms together with her wand in front of her, parting the fire around her before she used the fire to send it back at the Koopa King.
"I have to say, you put up quite the fight!" Bowser admitted as he ran over and punched her, but she dodged the attack and grabbed his fist, to where she threw him on the other side, which he had a surprised look on his face, and then Rosalina put her foot on his chest, aiming her wand at his face.
"Leave. Now."
Bowser smirked. "Never." He said. "NOW!" He yelled as a magic beam hit her in the back.
"Gah!" She winced as she turned around to see a Koopa Wizard aiming his wand at her, distracting her where Bowser grabbed her leg and threw her behind him, but she quickly recovered. "Another one?"
"Nice work, Kamek!" Bowser smirked as he got back up.
Rosalina closed her eyes and raised her wand up in the air, where several stars shined brightly in space where Bowser and Kamek saw this. "More shooting stars?" Bowser asked.
"No, sire! It's worse!" Kamek exclaimed as they looked to see meteors raining down as Rosalina was directing them straight for them, a lot of them catching on fire where they slammed into Bowser and Kamek, making several explosions in the process.
"Good riddance." Rosalina said, but when the smoke cleared, they were gone. "Huh?!" She asked and then Bowser punched her from behind, since Kamek had teleported the two of them to safety. "Nngh!" Rosalina winced, feeling the stinging pain from Bowser's fist to her spine but she quickly used a healing spell to recover and then she quickly fired Shooting Stars from her wand, while Kamek fired lasers from his wand, both of them colliding into each other and causing small explosions before Rosalina deactivated the spell as the laser came toward her, but she quickly guided it over back to Kamek, smacking him in the chest.
"AGH!" Kamek yelled and then Rosalina turned around and put up a protective force field when Bowser punched her repeatedly, not showing any signs of stopping but she kept the barrier up for as long as she could, unaware of Kamek getting back up and shaking it off. "Two can play that game!" He excaimed and charged up a spell, aiming it at the force field and then firing right at it, hitting the barrier as Rosalina rolled her eyes at Kamek's failed attempt, but then she noticed that the barrier was cracking and then it shattered, as the spell went through the barrier and hit Rosalina.
"GAAAAAAH!" Rosalina screamed as Bowser then punched her in the face before grabbing her.
"This is payback!" He exclaimed, throwing her to the ground and then body slamming on top of her, then picking her up and throwing her to the Grass Dome. "And now you're finished!" He said as he ran over to the cosmic space princee, until a pink star creature got in his way.
"No! I will not let you hurt mama!" He called out.
"Out of my way, pipsqueak!" Bowser said, grabbing the creature and tossing him back before punching the creature hard enough to send him flying toward the planet below.
"N-No!" Rosalina exclaimed as she struggled to get up, but then Kamek appeared in front of her.
"Sweet dreams!" Kamek grinned, throwing a spell at Rosalina directly.
"Nngh!" Rosalina groaned, coughing a bit before she suddenly got drowsy.
"Mama!" A star creature called out, but it was distant to Rosalina before she fell unconscious.

"Sleeping spells. You gotta love 'em." Kamek chuckled.
"She was too much trouble, but at least we knocked her out." Bowser said.
"Sire!" A Shy Guy came up to him. "We have the Power Stars, along with these big Power stars to boot! They call it the Grand Stars!"
"Grand Stars, eh? Perfect." Bowser smirked. "Send the Koopa Troop to various locations of the galaxy! Do NOT let any pesky plumber get to it, understood?!"
"Sir yes sir!"
Bowser chuckled. "Alright, next stop… Peach." He smirked.
"Sire. There's something you should know." Kamek said as they got back on the airships. "One of our squad members located a mysterious portal near Toad Town. It leads to a different world!"
"Oh? Show me."
A few hours later in Gensokyo…
Marisa Kirisame walked out of her home and stretched. "Mmm! I think I'll go bother Reimu tonight." She said, as she looked up and saw Star Bits raining down from the sky as she held out her hand as one of them gently landed in her hand. It was a blue variety as she examined it before popping it in her mouth. "Oh! Oooooh… those Youkai are right. It does taste like honey!" She smiled.
"Marisa." A voice caught her attention as she turned her head to see Alice Margatroid approaching her as well as a few puppets.
"Oh, Alice. Finally stopped being a hermit, eh?" Marisa teased while Alice rolled her eyes.
"There's something that dropped to my door and I'm imagining it landed on your door step too." She said, handing it to Marisa.
"Come join Reimu Hakurei's Star Festival feast. There will be games, parties, you name it! Come join the festivities." Marisa read before sweatdropping. "I swear, that girl is probably using this to her advantage and wanting some cash in her donation box."
"Is it that obvious?" Alice chuckled.
"Ha! That dork's my best friend, I can easily tell what's going on." Marisa grinned as she hopped on her broom. "Alright, see ya at the party!" She said and then flew off.
"Bold of you to assume that I'm going there." Alice said and then felt a tug on her sleeve as she looked down and seeing puppy dog eyes coming from Shanghai. "…Oh, alright. I guess it wouldn't hurt." She said as she flew up and flew after Marisa.
Marisa came to a stop when she got to the Hakurei Shrine. "Oh Reeeeimuuuuuu~!"
Reimu turned around. "Hey Marisa!" She waved as Marisa hopped off as the two girls hugged.
"So, using this to your advantage, huh?" Marisa asked with a cheeky grin while Reimu blushed.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Duh." Marisa said as both girls laughed.
"Thought it'd be nice, y'know?" Reimu chuckled. "And hey, not like anything bad is gonna happen, right?"
"You know it! Let's get this party started!" Marisa grinned while everyone else came to the Hakurei Shrine, having an enjoyable time to themselves… aaaand cue the cannonballs.
BGM: A Tense Moment (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Ack! What the hell?!" Marisa asked before glaring at Reimu. "You had to say something!"
"I didn't think I'd jinx it!" Reimu exclaimed as more cannonballs rained down from the sky and exploded, sending everyone in a panic and knocking everyone out, but the strangest thing one, when they hit the ground or Youkai, they suddenly were frozen in ice crystals. In fact, all of Gensokyo was being bombarded with this, and then a strange UFO came flying in and stopped above the the Hakurei Shrine. "So is this Nue's doing?"
"I honestly don't think it's her." Marisa said. "Seems a bit too big, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was her." She said as the UFO started charging up its lasers. "Still, I have to wonder why everyone is turning to ice. Unless this is Cirno's idea… which I doubt she'd pull off." She said, quickly pulling out her Mini-Hakkero and unleashing a Master Spark on a trapped Youkai, but the laser didn't make a dent on the ice. "HUH?! How in the world-"
"Marisa!" Reimu exclaimed as Marisa turned to the Miko and then looked up to see the UFO started firing lasers, circling around the Hakurei Shrine and nearly knocking the two off of their feet while hooks slammed into the ground and then made the Hakurei Shrine rise from the ground, while down below, it nearly knocked Alice off the ground.
"Agh! What in the world?!" Alice asked.
"What's going on?!" Reimu asked.
"I'm not sure!" Marisa said and then they rose to the sky. "Okay, seriously, what the hell is going on?!" She asked and then an airship approached and then Bowser landed in front of them.
"Hello, ladies!" He smirked.
"Who the hell are you?" Reimu asked.
"I am King Bowser, the King of Awesome!"
"More like the KIng of Dead Meat!" Marisa said, running toward the Koopa King and pulled out a Spell Card. "Magic Sign: Milky Way!" She yelled, but Bowser deflected the Danmaku and breathed a fireball at Marisa, but she quickly avoided the attack. "What kind of Youkai are you?"
"Youkai? I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Grrr…" Marisa growled as she hopped on her broom and flew toward him. "Blazing Star!" She yelled, but Bowser pulled back his fist and punched Marisa off of her broom. "GAH!" She yelled, as she was sent to the edge of the platform that they were on.
"Marisa!" Reimu exclaimed and then glared at Bowser. "Why you!" She exclaimed, unleashing Yin Yang orbs at him, but Bowser deflected them with his arms before he grabbed her by the arm. "Hey… HEY! Let go of me!" She yelled, attempting to do a flip kick on him, but he grabbed her leg and pinned her to the ground. "Nngh!"
"Normally, I only kidnap a certain princess, but you definitely seem like someone I could kidnap. You're coming with me!"
"Kidnap?!" Reimu yelled.
"Hey, bastard! No one kidnaps her on MY watch!" Marisa yelled, but suddenly, a blast of magic hit her in the back, causing her to stiffen. "Agh! Why… can't… I… move?!" She asked and then Kamek showed up.
"Heh, that's a good look for you."
"Cheap shots… huh? Look, buddy… I don't know who you are, but-"
"The name's Kamek… and this is the last face you'll ever see!" Kamek exclaimed and charged up a spell. "So long, enjoy your flight!" He exclaimed, firing magic at Marisa as she tried to free herself from the spell that Kamek inflicted on her, but all she could do was watch as the magic came toward her with her eyes widening in horror… and then it struck her, launching her off of the platform.
"AAAAAAGH!"
"MARISA!" Reimu yelled.
"Alright, let's get out of here!" Bowser said. "Kamek, if you please!"
"With pleasure!" Kamek exclaimed, firing a spell in the air that caused a huge flash, before disappearing.
End BGM
Down below, Alice saw Marisa being launched away. "Marisa!" Alice exclaimed as she flew after her, unaware of Yukari who had witnessed the entire thing.
"Where did they come from? I certainly didn't invite them." Yukari quietly said. "Hmm, I need to get to the bottom of this." She said before disappearing into a gap.
Didn't expect THIS now, did ya? Now now, i'm not running out of ideas or anything, I've just been thinking about remastering Touhou Galaxy but didn't get around to it. Then about a few days ago, one of my friends said "Ya know, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of Touhou Galaxy. You've come so far after all these years, so why not remaster it?"
Ta-daaaaah!
