("We have come for our revenge, Mario,") Princess Shroob shouted in her own language, however no one could understand her and didn't have an assumption on what she was saying; she only grinned as she snapped her fingers, the Shroobs pointing their high tech guns at the group of ten, having them surrounded.

"W-We're surrounded!" Usagi huddled into the middle the circle, knowing any sudden movements would result the group to be shot at. The group huddle back to back, all of them facing the surrounding poisonous mushroom shaped aliens.

Natsu tilted his head back, whispering to Aile, "Hey…let me handle the guy with the flames…"

"No!" Aile snapped, the sight of Fistleo having already pissed her off beyond belief, "He's my target, I've taken him out once and I will do it again!" In her HX form, dashed forward, casuing the Shroobs to focus their firepower on her; Aile was easily able to slash through the energy bullets the Shroobs fired off at her. She crossed her dual swords, then slashed an opening in the Shroob circle formation, and dashed right for Fistleo. However, a pink energy sphere blasted Aile away, causing her to skid across the ground to a halt, "What!?" Princess Shroob was giggling, her voice making her giggle dark and eerie, "You little…"

"What's that all about!?" S hu shouted.

"I don't remember seeing Aile so discomposed like that…" Usagi whispered.

"Talons of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu covered his leg in flames, the swung it forward in a 90 degree rotational kick, taking out about a fourth of the surrounding Shroobs.

"W-What's going on here?!" Mickey held his hand out, a bright white light appearing as his Keyblade materialized in his hand.

"Mickey!" Mario turned his head, pointing to the door they entered the room from, "Make sure everyone else in this castle is okay! We can handle these guys!"

Mickey nodded, knowing that Mario and the others seemed more familiar with these intruders than he did, "Donald, Goofy, let's go!" Donand and Goofy nodded, and quickly followed Mickey out of the room, leaving Mario, Sonic, Aile, Usagi, Natsu, Shu and Link to face the Shroobs and their allies.

"Time to get started!" Shu spread his legs apart and crouched down, his shadow slowly changing shape as it started to rise off the ground, this particular act surprised the intruders, as they hadn't seen anything like this before. With a sudden shout, Shu's shadow had transformed into the Blue Dragon, the ground cracking slightly as a few crystals appeared behind Shu where the Blue Dragon rose. The Blue Dragon gave out a roar as its appearance shocked the minion Shroobs.

"Moon Eternal Make up!" Usagi opened her large white heart compact, a bright light surrounding her as she transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon.

"You've certainly made some interesting friends, Mario," Cackletta said with a cackle, her tongue wiggling out of her mouth as she did so.

"Ew…" Sailor Moon gagged slightly from the sight of Cackletta before looking over at Aile, who wasn't thinking straight. "Aile!" Aile paid her no mind though, she was only focused on Fistleo; Aile dashed towards Fistleo, keeping her eyes on Princess Shroob, but Cackletta threw up one of her hands, her cape resembling a bat wing, and a thunderbolt struck down from the ceiling, throwing Aile off her course.

"Aile, get your game together!" Natsu shouted, puffing his cheeks out as he looked at the surrounding Shroobs, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" He threw his head forward, unleashing an orange flame as he spun around, the flame engulfing the purple Shroobs. Link pulled out his bow and arrow, firing off a multitude of bows at any leftover Shroobs, making short work of them.

"These Shroobs are really weak…" Sonic shouted aloud, making sure his voice carried over to Princess Shroob during the heat of battle; Sonic then set his eyes on the green Shroob; for some reason, this Shroob seemed different from all the others. Sonic rushed towards the Shroob Commander, throwing a lightning fast kick to test its reflexes. Sonic's eyes widened as the Shroob had caught his foot with its pincers, "W-What?!" The Shroob them proceeded to spin around, the speed it was at forming a small tornado from all the wind it was dragging it; it then proceeded to hurl Sonic into the wall, causing a dent.

"Sonic!" Shu raised his hand and brought it down, the Blue Dragon aiming its clenched fist down at the Shroob commander; The Commander chuckled before saying something in Shroobian. It then leaped to the side, dropping a small object as it avoided Shu's attack.

"I think we're safe…" Chibi Moon panted, hunching over as she rested her hands on her knees.

Lucy felt pain throughout her body, as her injuries had yet to completely heal and she had been overexerting it, "P-Peach…what was that…?" She looked over at Peach, panting heavily.

"I thought you couldn't use magic with these collars…?" Zelda sat down on her knees, calming her breathing.

"That wasn't magic…It's just something I can do…I didn't think to do it until then because I thought I couldn't…but when I saw Metal Sonic gaining up to us, I figured I could try…" Peach leaned against the wall, her eyes closed, "I honestly thought I wasn't going to be able to do that, and that he would've just caught me instead of the rest of you guys…"

"I'm still wondering why Chibiusa doesn't have a collar…" Kluke examined Chibi Moon, a finger on her chin, "Hmmm…"

"I don't know either!" Chibi Moon flailed her arms around slightly, "But don't complain! It's why we're going to be able to escape this time, right!"

"I hope so…" Prairie mumbled.

The battle inside Mickey's castle ended, the heroes were exhausted. Princess Shroob, Fistleo, Cackletta, and the Commander had proven to be much stronger than the group had originally thought, but that doesn't mean they weren't able to land any hits either. However, Natsu wasn't one to give up; despite the odds, he puff his cheeks out once again, and sent a giant funnel of flames towards the four villains.

"That pink haired boy sure is tenacious…" Cackletta muttered as the funnel neared the four.

(Commander, take care of this,) Princess Shroob snapped her fingers, and the Commander complied. The Commander pulled out a double-sided staff and jumped in front of the fire, twirling the staff around, causing the large funnel of flame to be easily deflected by the staff.

"WHAT!?" Natsu's eyes widened, "My roar…!"

"Your spirit burns pretty passionately there," Fistleo commented, "But not passionately enough!" Fistleo chuckled as a large pink beam surrounded the four villains and the started to float into the air."

"A tractor beam!" Link shouted, aiming an Ice Arrow at the group, but it was too late, they faded into the large Shroob Ship above, which kindly destroyed the roof of the castle, leaving a clear view of it.

'Hey, get back here!" Natsu shouted, "I'm not done with you yet!" At that moment, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy ran back into the room, looking up at the large ship.

"What is THAT thing!?" Donald shouted, astounded by the size of the alien ship. Sailor Moon looked over at the ground as an odd sparkle caught her attention. She walked over and picked up a semi large purple key with a poison mushroom marked on it.

"Shroob Mothership…" Mario panted, glaring up at the familiar ship with distain. From the ship, an image of
Princess Shroob appeared. She was holding a cup in her hand, and pointed down at the heroes.

(Well, it was nice to see you, Mario! Now, it's time for you, and every planet connected to this one to be destroyed!) Princess Shroob cackled, (Fire the Shroob Cannon!) After she gave her command, the bottom of the ship opened up, revealing a large cannon pointing down at the castle.

"W-WHOA!" Aile jumped, having never seen a cannon of that size before.

"That thing look like it could destroy a planet…!" Shu gasped.

"If it does…" Mickey started, "This planet, and every planet connected to it will be destroyed…she wouldn't…!"

"She would…" Mario growled, knowing there was no way to get up to the ship in time to stop it.

(FIRE!) A few minutes of tense silence passed before Princess Shroob turned, questioning why the cannon had not been fired. (What's going on…?) A shroob had approached her and started explaining what was happening, but it was cut off midway as Princess Shroob backhanded the Shroob away, (WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST THE KEY!?)

"…What is she saying…?" Sonic tilted his head in confusion, having no idea what the deal was with the sudden shouting.

"I think something's wrong with the cannon…" Sailor Moon mumbled.

Princess Shroob let Cackletta take over, "Listen here, you brats! In order for the cannon to be fired, we need a key; it's called the Shroob Key. I know it's down there, and I know one of you have it by now. Either you come up here and give the key to us, or we'll come back down there and finish the job this time, your choice." The image faded, and the tractor beam appeared in the same spot.

"I don't remember finding a key…" Goofy tilted his head, looking around the room.

"U-uh…" Moon held the key out, but instead of a shocked expression, everyone smirked.

"They took the fight to us…" Sonic started, "So, we can take the fight to them!"

"We have…to go up there…?" Natsu looked up at the hovering ship, his face turning blue as his cheeks puffed out.

"HOW ARE YOU GETTING MOTIONS SICKNESS!?" Aile shouted, "You're just LOOKING AT IT!"

"Looking at it makes me feel sick!" Natsu groaned, swaying from side to side, almost tipping over with each sway.

"How are you going to fight them when you're sick just from LOOKING at the damn thing…" Aile scoffed and groaned, face palming.

"I can fix that," Mickey chimed in.

"You can?" Natsu looked over at Mickey.

"That's right, two things first. One, hold still, and two, we're going with you," Mickey held his Keyblade up, a bright light flashing as Natsu's motion sickness wore off.

"Whoa…what was that…?" Natsu grinned as he looked up at the ship, feeling fine.

"That was the magic curing spell called Panacea. It should cure you of your motion sickness for the time being," Mickey explained with a grin.

"Right!" Mario pounded a fist into an open palm, looking up at the ship, "Alright guys, we're about to head up and take on the Shroobs, and whatever else may lie inside, are you ready?"

"YEAH!" The group nodded.

"Let's a go!" Mario and the others jumped into the tractor beam as they were carried into the ship.

Nearby, the black hooded figure had been watching the entire scene, a small smirk just barely being able to be seen from under his hood, "So…Shroob has finally made her move, huh? I'm sure she wouldn't mind a little intervention as long as it helps her…"
