Oyajide continued to direct his airship through the airspace surrounding the mysterious energy signature he'd noticed before.
"There's something here. I'm sure of it," Oyajide noted, flashing signals to the other airships in the region.
"We'll find that energy signal and take it for the queen. Nothing in this universe will be able to stop us!!" Oyajide proclaimed with an evil laugh.
Just then, Majotourbillon herself appeared on the video screen that stood above the control panel of Oyajide's airship.
"My queen," Oyajide stated, bowing respectfully.
"Oyajide, you may want to be cautious. Two of the brats are on their way to your present location," Majotourbillon explained. "If they were able to defeat me, then that means they must be considered a threat to our plans."
"With all due respect, my lovely, I'm surprised that they even made it this far," Oyajide noted.
"Then you must make sure that this will be as far as they get. You had best be careful, Oyajide. One more slip-up, and you know quite well what could happen. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, my queen. I will not fail you," Oyajide proclaimed.
"Very well, then. Stop those kids any way you can. I don't care if you have to use every dirty trick in the book."
"Relax, my queen. I will use every dirty trick in the book, as well as some that aren't, in order to destroy those little brats," Oyajide stated.
"Good. I will entrust you with this. End transmission," Majotourbillon stated before cutting the transmission.
"This time, there will be no escape for the brats," Oyajide laughed evilly.

Akatsuki Shidoosha looked up from his current activity. "What was that?"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Ojamajo Doremi Galaxy: The Tides of Time
This Chapter: June 5th, 2008
Summary: When a mysterious new villain returns and steals the Stars of the Ancients, using their power to erase the Ojamajos from history, Nick must embark on a galaxy-hopping adventure in order to reunite with his friends and put an end to "the dark one's" evil ways...
On Today's Episode: Nick and Hana blast off to the enemy base and navigate a field of airships in search of the next of the Stars of the Ancients...
Disclaimer: As always, I don't own Ojamajo Doremi or Super Mario Galaxy. They belong to Toei Animation and Nintendo.
Note: I'm only going to be covering the main galaxies (none of the mini-galaxies) and enemy bases in this story, with the exception of Buoy Base Galaxy, because there's going to be a big plot point in that galaxy when we get to it. I'm going to be keeping this author's note in, just in case someone joins the story later than usual. Also, there will be a few galaxies of my own creation later on.
Note 2: The Ojamajos created by YukiShinoya444 will make an appearance in this story. Before you even ask, I do have permission to use Yuki's team in my stories (so long as I don't make them look bad).

Chapter 10: Nice to Meet You, Good to See You
"WHOA!! Look at all the pretty pirate ships!!" Hana squealed as she and Nick soared ever closer to the enemy base.
"What could Oyajide be doing with this many airships?" Nick wondered. "Something's not right here. We'd best stay on our guard, Hana-chan."
Hana nodded as the two of them landed on the first airship. Almost immediately, a mushroom-shaped enemy came charging at them.
Hana was the first to react, leaping into the air and stomping on the creature's head, giving Nick ample time to rush up and spin attack the creature right off of the airship.
"The shroobs just keep coming!!" Hana exclaimed as more of the creatures came charging.
Nick quickly took Hana's hands into his own, hoping that the white witch apprentice would get the message.
Hana's smile brightened before she closed her eyes and began to concentrate.
"From the bubbly first crush..." Hana chanted.
"To the true power of love..." Nick continued.
"We will stop you in your tracks with the sweetest power in the known universe!!" both Nick and Hana chanted, the two of them glowing with a bright pink light.
The Shroobs all charged at the same time.
"Double Ojamajo Charm Sphere!!"
With that, Nick and Hana slammed their hands onto the ground, creating a pink, heart-shaped energy ripple that enveloped the entire airship, causing all the Shroobs to stop in their tracks, hearts in their eyes.
"Now, Nick!!"
"The bow and string of a determined boy, take this!! Ojamajo Arrow of Light!!"
Nick began circling around in his spot, turning the emerald energy beam around with him. This easily took out all of the Shroobs. Once the last of them poofed out of existence, a Launch Star appeared on the bow of the airship.
"Well, all aboard who's going aboard, I guess," Nick stated before hopping into the Launch Star, Hana not too far behind. One quick spin later, they were off, soaring through the sky towards another airship.
All of a sudden, Nick noticed that something in the distance was firing meteors towards the two. Nick reacted quickly, spinning when needed. This knocked the meteors off of their course, a few of them even sinking any airship they collided with. Nick had to take note of how the airships that had just been sunk were completely dismantled before they were sucked into the black hole that waited below them.
"I definitely would not want to fall into one of those," Nick noted as he and Hana landed on the next airship. Nick also seemed to notice that the number of remaining airships was beginning to dwindle with each new airship they hopped to.
As Hana continued to explore, Nick began taking out any remaining enemies, knowing that one of them may hold the key to moving onwards. Once the lone Kamek was gone, another Launch Star appeared at the center of the ship. Once the two of them had blasted off, Nick noticed that the airship they were soaring towards was much more decorated than the others.
"That's Oyajide's airship!! Get ready, Hana-chan. This may get ugly," Nick advised the instant they'd landed on the glowing ship.
Nick looked around, not really sensing anything out of the ordinary.
"That's weird. He'd usually be here to pilot his pride and joy," Nick wondered. "Where IS he?"
"NICK, LOOK OUT!!"
Nick quickly turned around at Hana's exclamation, wondering what was frightening her. What that was quickly became apparent.
"WHOA!!"
Nick quickly somersaulted out of the way of the fireballs that were being thrown at them, performing a quick midair spin attack to keep his balance. It was then that he noticed who was firing on them – it was Oyajide, piloting his personal battleship.
"You again!!" Nick exclaimed.
"I never thought you'd get this far, kiddies," Oyajide exclaimed. "But this is as far as you go! I will crush you with the power of this Star of the Ancients!!"
Oyajide held up the green, star-shaped gemstone to prove his point.
Hana clinged to Nick's arm as he stared Oyajide down. No WAY am I going to let him get away with this! Nick thought.
Oyajide simply laughed and steered his airship out of their reach.
"Why would Oyajide do something like this? Hana-chan's confused!" Hana exclaimed, still clinging to Nick.
"You're not the only one, Hana-chan," Nick noted. "It's probably Majotourbillon's fault..."
Not wasting any time, Nick quickly jumped into the air, aiming for a shadow creature that Oyajide had just sent his way. Performing a spin attack, he sort of sucked the creature into my hands, where it took the form of a shell.
"Checkmate, Oyajide-baka-san!!" Nick shouted, throwing the shell for Oyajide's airship. It impacted quite hard and sent the ship spinning.
"You little BRATS!! How dare you attack my precious ship?!" Oyajide screamed.
"Yeah, yeah. Why don't you tell it to someone who cares?!" Nick shot back, grabbing another shadow creature and throwing it for the ship, damaging the left engine.
"That's it!! I'm not playing around anymore!!" Oyajide shouted, launching more fireballs from his cannons, but Nick was easily able to deflect most of them with a series of quick spin attacks.
Suddenly, Nick heard another scream from Hana. He spun around and noticed that a lone fireball was heading straight for her!!
Acting on his feet, Nick drew his hand back, which began to glow with a bright orange light.
"Koten zanshun!! I reject!!"
Nick thrust his hand towards the rampaging fireball, and a paper-thin energy blade extended from his palm, shooting forward and cutting the fireball in half, keeping Hana safe.
"Oh, you're going to pay for that, Oyajide-baka-san!!" Nick exclaimed. "No one attacks my Hana-chan like that and gets away with it!!"
Oyajide responded to this by launching even more fireballs, but this time Nick spun one of them right back into Oyajide's ship, destroying the left engine and causing it to spin out again.
"I will not be denied, you little brats!!" Oyajide exclaimed.
"OYAJIDE-BAKA-SAN!!"
Oyajide spun around in his spot, wondering who had just said that.
"The waves of my own feelings, take this!! Ojamajo Twilight Rain!!"
At this call, a stream of twilight energy bursts battered Oyajide's airship, almost causing him to fall off.
"Who just did that?!" Oyajide exclaimed. As if to answer his question, Yuki hopped onto the airship that Nick and Hana were on.
"You better not have done anything to Onpu-onee-sama!!" Yuki exclaimed. "If you did, you're going to get it!!"
"Like I'd ever confess something like that to you," Oyajide shot back. This sent Yuki into a tizzy. She quickly grabbed another shadow creature and threw it towards Oyajide's right engine with astounding force, creating cracks in the remaining engine as well as the airship itself.
"All together now!!" Nick exclaimed.
"The waves of my own feelings, take this!! Ojamajo Twilight Rain!!"
"The bubbly feeling of a promised love, take this!! Ojamajo Snowflake Crescent!!"
"The bow and string of a determined boy, take this!! Ojamajo Arrow of Light!!"
All three special attacks battered Oyajide's airship until explosions began to rock the sides of the ship.
"NO!! My precious airship!!" Oyajide exclaimed, flying away on his escape pod. "I won't forget this, you brats!!"
With that, Oyajide flew away as his battleship exploded, the green Star of the Ancients coming to a rest on the purple-and-gold airship that Nick, Yuki, and Hana were on.
"Wow!! That was fun!!" Hana exclaimed as Nick walked up and grabbed the Star. A few second later, all three of them were off.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"My daughter has done well. I must report this."
Someone can be seen walking down a darkened path.
"Master."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Once Nick, Yuki, and Hana had returned to the Comet Observatory, the green Star of the Ancients flew into the beacon, turning its color from yellow to green. The lights of the bedroom near the back also turned on.
"You are making astounding progress, young ones," Rosalina stated, appearing before the group. "With each Star you recover, we are that much closer to putting an end to the dark one's evil ways."
"That's just what we do, Rosalina," Nick replied. "All in a day's work."
Just then, the black Luma flew up. "Let me guess, new galaxy?" Nick wondered. The black Luma instantly nodded.
"Guess it's time to head off," Nick stated, only to be stopped by Doremi.
"I'm coming with you this time, Kellysi-chan. My sister could be on any one of these galaxies," Doremi explained.
Nick could only nod.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"I knew Oyajide wouldn't be able to stop them," Majotourbillon noted, looking over her Dark Matter Plant.
"But, with the power of my Dark Matter Plant, I myself will ensure that those brats will go no further."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
