To Worldwalker: I don't plan on them taking on the Challenge Node. Sorry.
Thwomp Caverns (Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time)
"Uh guys? What's that?" Toon Link asked, pointing up.
"I think it's a dark beach ball." Tidus said.
"It could be a goth baseball for all I know." Cirno said.
"The Dark Star." Mario said, as it looked at everybody when it got to their level.
"Um...hello...nice to see you again?" Sora said, not sure what to say to it.
The Dark Star blinked at them...and fired a laser at all of them before flying off. "What the hell was THAT for?!" Viridi exclaimed.
"It obviously holds a grudge against us ever since we made contact with it in the Keyblade Graveyard." Palutena said.
"Yeah but...Reimu and I took that bastard on. I don't know why it shot lasers at ALL of us." Marisa explained.
"It probably thought that if we're friends with you, we're also its enemy." Zelda thought.
Kairi just sighed and used Curaga on all of them. "Well...let's go after it then." She said.
A few minutes of chasing after the Dark Star later...
"Okay...did it get cold all of a sudden?" Reimu asked, as they looked around. The whole area was covered in ice.
Snowman (Super Smash Bros Brawl)
"Okay...i'm getting some hot chocolate when we get the Dark Star." Pit said, slightly shivering...as mostly everyone nodded in agreement.
Natsu, Cirno, Fire Bro, Mario and Gray were the only ones not shivering. "Seriously? You guys are freezing?" Fire Bro asked.
"How come you three aren't cold? Cirno and Gray I can understand, but why not you three?!" Xion exclaimed.
"I'm used to the cold. I've been to many frozen places just to save Peach from Bowser." Mario explained.
"The cold is nothing to me since Igneel raised me." Natsu said.
"The cold never bothered me." Fire Bro shrugged.
"Remind me to wear pants one of these days..." Pit said, shivering.
"And a long sleeved shirt..." Palutena said with a sneeze.
"And a very heavy coat." Viridi muttered.
One cold walk that felt like an eternity later...
"GAH! WHERE'S MOKOU WHEN YOU NEED HER?!" Marisa yelled.
"And Pyrrhon!" Pit exclaimed.
"I CAN"T TAKE THIS COLD ANYMORE!" Lucy yelled, taking out one of her keys. "OPEN! GATE OF THE CLOCK! HOROLOGIUM!" She yelled.
Horologium landed on the ground...and then Lucy ran in and sat down. "Ah...that feels nice." She said...and then Youmu and Viridi got in it too.
"Oh my god...this feels SO much better!" Youmu exclaimed.
"Oh yeah..." Viridi smiled.
"They all said with relief." Horologium said as they continued walking.
"You gotta be kidding me...you guys are giving up?" Cirno asked.
"There comes a point when you had enough of the cold...EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?!" Viridi yelled.
"She yelled very loudly." Horologium said.
"Guys! Over there!" Reimu pointed, to see the Dark Star just floating there, as if it was waiting for them.
"I've been waiting for you..." It said, as a certain dark head and arms appeared on it...but no legs. "Of course...i'm not complete until I have my legs back."
"WE ARE GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS INTO OBLIVION LIKE LAST TIME!" Marisa yelled.
The almost completely revived Dark Bowser laughed. "But...we are nowhere near Keyblades this time...but since I'm not complete yet..." It said and then the head and arms disappeared, going back to the Dark Star. "I will have my revenge on you."
"I assume you'll be battling the Dark Star, so I'll be taking my leave now." Horologium said and disappeared, making the trio inside faceplant.
"I hate it when he does that..." Lucy muttered as they got up, and started to shiver again. "But...I think I know just the guy." She smirked and took out another key. "OPEN! GATE OF THE LION! LOKE!"
"You called, princess?"
"VIRGO?!" Lucy yelled.
"Big bro is asleep. So I'm filling in for him." She said.
"Oh sure..." Lucy muttered.
Virgo looked at mostly everyone who was shivering and then at Dark Star. "I know just the thing."
Several wardrobe changes later...
Dark Star raised an eyebrow while Virgo was done. "There we go."
Pit actually had pants on, Palutena had a sweatshirt on, Viridi had a warm coat on...and everyone else had warmer clothing. "Now THIS...is more like it!" Pit smiled.
"Alright, now let's take this bastard on." Marisa said.
Dark Star chuckled. "Then let's do it..."
Lunatic Eyes – Invisible Full Moon (Touhou 8: Imperishable Night)
Dark Star fired a laser at Pit, Sora and Natsu, but they all dodged as Sora used Firaga and Pit fired arrows.
Mario and Luigi ran towards Dark Star and then jumped up and they both hammered Dark Star and then jumped back before it could ram them.
Dark Star aimed at Natsu and fired another laser, but he stood his ground. "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" He yelled, as they both made contact and made a huge explosion.
"Impressive...now if I can only see..." Dark Star muttered.
"FREEZE SIGN: PERFECT FREEZE!" Cirno yelled, and then Gray ran through the blizzard and formed an ice sword and slashed through Dark Star.
Dark Star quickly turned around and slammed into Gray right after he slashed through him and then it turned again to them and fired balls of electricity at the Keyblade Wielders, but they just used Reflega.
Link and his cartoon self fired arrows at Dark Star while Zelda used Din's Fire right at it, but it dodged them as it went over to ram right into them and then turned to Palutena.
"I don't think so." Palutena said, getting ready as it charged right for her. "CELESTIAL FIREWORK!" She yelled, which launched Dark Star up in the air.
Virgo then jumped up and scissor kicked it back down to the ground where Erza, Youmu and Tidus slashed through Dark Star at the same time.
Dark Star weakly looked at them. "This...will finish you..." It said and began to charge up its ultimate attack.
"Leave this to me." Marisa said and took out a Spell Card.
"FIRE!" Dark Star yelled and fired a HUGE laser right at them.
"MAGICANNON: FINAL SPARK!" Marisa yelled, as the two lasers made contact...and a struggle began, none of them showing any signs of movement.
"I am impressed that you can keep up with my laser...but how much longer are you able to keep that up?" Dark Star asked.
"Shut...UP..." Marisa said, then noticing the laser Dark Star was firing was inching ever so slowly...and the Final Spark was weakening. Crap...this is bad...
"We gotta do something! THE FINAL SPARK IS WEAKENING! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!" Happy yelled as he was freaking out.
"Well what CAN we do?" Sora asked, as they looked at Kamek.
"I only have elemental magic! I can't boost her firepower!" Kamek exclaimed.
And then...the Final Spark got small enough and just disappeared, as the laser went right to her. Marisa's eyes widened and closed her eyes. She couldn't get out of the way in time, no one was quick enough to pull her back...this was it...she was going to die right there...and then an explosion as soon as it made contact.
"MARISA!" Reimu screamed, as they all looked on in shock.
Dark Star just laughed evilly. "The witch...is no more." It said...and when the smoke cleared...it's eyes widened.
Marisa opened her eyes...to see a green shield in front of her. "What?" She asked.
"Just in time..." Kamek said, his wand in front of Marisa. "I just remembered I had a spell to cast a shield." He said.
"Thanks." Marisa said as Kamek nodded.
"B-but how?!" Dark Star exclaimed in shock.
"I'll finish you..." Reimu said, taking out a Spell Card. "HOLY RELIC: YIN-YANG SANCTIFIER ORB!" She yelled.
Dark Star yelled in pain before falling to the ground in defeat.
Snowman
"And that's the end of him." Pit said with a smile.
"That's what you think..." The Dark Star said as it got up. "Just wait until my Bowser form is complete...then I'll destroy the whole bunch of you." It said before flying out.
"You okay?" Reimu asked.
"Yeah...just a little surprised that my Final Spark was not strong enough against Dark Star's laser." Marisa said.
"You're lucky I saved you." Kamek said.
"Yeah...thanks for saving me." Marisa smiled at him.
"No problem." Kamek smiled back.
"Did we stumble upon into an alternate dimension? Because I'm thinking these two are friends now..." Hammer Bro said while scratching his head.
"I'll be going now." Virgo said.
"Alright." Lucy said as Virgo disappeared.
Meanwhile...
Peach's Castle (Super Mario 64)
Bowser stopped breathing on the ice and then started to cough...and then coughed out the Dark Star. "Well...that takes care of the Heart burn." Bowser said.
The Dark Star looked at them and just floated off. "AFTER THAT STAR!" General Guy yelled as the trio ran off after it.
And BAM... Dark Star defeated! ...Kinda.
