Robots.
The orange Luma quickly ran to Toad and hide behind him, "WE GOT A PROBLEM!" He yelled as the metal angel flew out to them. "Great, just what we needed, evil C3PO." The robotic angel started to scan him, "Toad of the Mario Universe: 12064," she then turned her arm into a minigun and locked on, "You must be destroyed." She opened fired on him, as he started to run. Big turned to check on him, "ARE YOU OKAY?!" He asked, but before Toad could answer, Zeta fired a laser at Big knocking him out of the core room. 'That's just great!' Toad thought, as her quickly tried to dodge the automatic fire. 'I have to try to go down there to help him.' Toad started to slide down the wall, while being fired at by not only Zeta, but the angel as well. Likely for him, Zeta was also firing at the angel, seeing how she was not supposed to be there either. That did not make the fact that he was being shot at any less frightening. He quickly jumped to the wall and slid down it to make it to Big. "HANG ON THERE! JUST A BIT MORE TO GET TO YOU!" Big slowly got up off the ground and saw some rings floating by an opening in the robotic core's defenses. He turned and saw Toad jump down from the wall and dive bomb to him. "COPPER! RINGS!" Copper did not know what 'rings' exactly where in this universe, but he tried by grabbing with a doughnut shape on it, and busted it open. "LIGHT SPEED DASH TOAD!" Toad was a bit confused, but he decided to go along with this plan. He started to use the speed of the divebomb to charge up the dash, "Ready?" He said as he got near the first floating Ring that Copper put up, "GO!" In a blur of Red light, Toad followed those rings and went into the core room. He felt different, as if he had his own body just turned into something completely different. That feeling did not last long when the angel flew in, "DIE!" She yelled as she fired several missiles at Toad. Toad quickly got out of the way and pulled out a Super Mushroom from his bag. "Now I don't get something good." At this moment, Zeta was calculating the best way to get rid of the intruders, he decided to blow up the ship. It put four pins to the Galactic Star in its chest and closed his own eyes.
A timer showed up on Zeta's body, "Two minutes till self destruct." Big looked at the clock and decided that, yeah, it was time to get out of there. He used his fishing rod to pull himself into the core. "Toad! Keep the Star together!" Toad threw the Super Mushroom into the Star to give it a bit more time, he then jumped onto Angel E's head. He noticed some text on her head, so he read it. "E102 Gamma?" Toad was puzzled a bit from that, when the she threw him off. She then pointed the gun at him. "This is where you die." She locked onto him when the star started to crack, becoming a vacuum. This was Toad's moment to put his plan into action. "I think is this the time where you get cleaned!" He kicked the angel so it would be sucked into the star. The Energy was pulled out of the armor and used to repair the crack in the star. The timer stopped once the star was repaired. Big looked up and saw the rest of Zeta explode, "Are you okay!?" Big asked Toad, with Toad giving a thumbs up. "Some sort of Bird's in here now." The other two heroes managed to join Toad holding a Pink Bird. "I name her Billy." "That's not a very creative name." Big commented, with Toad just giving him a bit of a 'really?' look. The Luma showed up like normal and told them the usual 'thanks for saving me, off to the next world' deal turning into a strange ray gun. Toad and Big shrugged and got ready to be sent to the next world, where everything was a bit longer.
