To The Worldwalker: Oh...yeah. I'm NOT gonna throw you into this story, sorry.
Comet Observatory (Super Mario Galaxy)
The Scarlet Devil Team saw everyone coming in for a landing. "So how was it?" Nitori asked.
"It would've been more fun if it weren't for those platforms slowing us down." Luigi muttered.
"Ugh, tell me about it." Lucy said. "Seriously, I would've been having fun if I could fly."
Erza walked over to Flandre. "How is she?"
"Knocked out." Nitori replied. "But right now, the rescrambling her memories seems to be going well."
"That's good to hear."
Polari was looking at the screen. "Hmm..." He looked at it. "Luigi's not gonna like this one..." He muttered.
"So how may places do we have left?" Bowser asked.
"Well, two." Polari replied. "Wait, no...three. There seems to be some sort of place specific for Captain Toad and Toadette."
"Let's go over there!" Captain Toad exclaimed as Toadette nodded as they took off.
"And the other two?" Bowser asked.
"Peepa's Fog Bog and Cosmic Cannon Cluster." Polari replied. "And uh...the former is a ghost house."
"Okay, I am NOT going there." Luigi said.
"Oh yes you are." Bowser said, dragging the plumber away. "You're going over there whether you like it or not." He chuckled.
"MARIO! HELP ME!" He cried out.
"Sorry bro, but since he's on our side at the moment, I can't help you." Mario said.
"Oh come on!" Luigi exclaimed and then Bowser placed him in the Launch Star.
"In you go." He said as the Launch Star launched him away as he then went after him as Mario, Peach, Blue Toad, Reimu, Youmu, Patchouli, Hammer Bro and Erza went with him.
"So I guess we're going to the other?" Marisa asked.
"Pretty much." Polari said as the others went to the other Launch Star and took off.
"Uh, Polari?" Koopa caught his attention.
"Yes?"
"There's something you should see about Cosmic Cannon Cluster."
"What is it?" He went over to look and raised an eyebrow. "What is that Shadow Queen up too?"
"I dunno, but I'm not liking it."
World Star-8: Fogginess
Footline Lane (Super Mario 3D World)
Luigi landed headfirst right into the snow as the others landed on the snow perfectly. "Heh, that's a good look for ya." Bowser said as Youmu and Reimu pulled Luigi out of the snow
"Why does it have to be a Ghost House?" Luigi sighed. "Can't it be like a circus?"
"Sorry, Green 'stache, but you can't have fun all the time." Bowser chuckled as they walked around the area.
"Hmm..." Patchouli looked around the area. "What's with all these doors?" She wondered.
"I guess they're fakes?" Blue Toad wondered as he went in one, appearing several feet away from them. "Yeah, they transport you to another area over here."
"I see Key coins." Peach said. "I guess we'll just have to collect them."
"Well this should be a breeze." Reimu said as they went off to collect them, and then they heard screaming as they all looked to see Luigi surrounded by Peepas.
"Oh, Luigi..." Youmu sighed.
"Anyone got an invincibility star?" Blue Toad wondered.
Erza looked at a light shining out near a grave as she pulled it up, revealing an Invincibility Star. "I'll come save you." She said as she ran straight to them and killed the Peepas with her invincibility as a Green Star appeared in her hands. "You're safe now."
"Thanks." Luigi smiled.
"Honestly, if you weren't kidnapped by King Boo, you would've conquered your fear of the ghosts a long time ago." Youmu muttered as she collected the last Key coin, unlocking a box and then they went into the next area.
They landed on a raft. "Why are we on a raft?" Patchouli wondered as Hammer Bro looked down.
"Well, if it weren't for the raft...we'd be right in the poison water." Hammer Bro replied. "So we're lucky."
"Except we're heading right for a poison waterfall." Luigi said. "We're dead."
"I don't think it's THAT bad." Hammer Bro said, and then they fell as the raft landed in the water again, knocking them down. "Although...it made a bumpy ride."
"Mama mia...I thought I was gonna die." Luigi muttered.
"We don't die that easily." Peach said and then looked at Bowser.
"Oh come on, I don't die THAT easily too." He said as they walked through the snow while Patchouli curiously went into a mystery box while the others carefully walked through the boardwalk that occasionally disappeared into the fog, but luckily, none of them fell into the poison water as Reimu flew over to collect a stamp and them came back as they got to the flagpole as Patchouli rejoined them with a Green Star in her hand.
"Mystery Box?" Peach asked.
"Yep." Patchouli nodded as they noticed Bowser climbing up the flagpole.
"Uh...sir...? You're putting too much pressure on the flagpole." Hammer Bro said.
"Oh please...this flag will handle it." He said as he got on top of it, his face was still there, except it was red this time.
"Oh...I was thinking the flag would change colors too." Reimu said. "How disappointing."
"Good to know." Youmu said, and then the flag snapped in half thanks to Bowser's weight, as he fell on his shell.
"I told ya..." Hammer Bro sighed as he and Mario helped him up.
"I wanted to go down with style." Bowser said.
"Riiight." Mario chuckled.
Meanwhile...
World Star-9: Cosmic Cannon Headache
Simmering Lava Lake (Super Mario 3D World)
The others landed and then looked around. "Okay, how is a platform like that going to carry us all?" Wendy wondered.
"I dunno..." Sora said.
"How nice of you to come." A voice said as they saw Yukari standing on a platform in front of them. "I've been...busy ever since you took Flandre away from us."
"Oh? And what would that be?" Sakuya asked.
"Along with these wonderful cannons are Bullet Bill Blaster and Banzai Bill Blasters." Yukari said. "And there's a surprise for you at the end."
"I swear, if it's King Bills..." Pit muttered.
"You'll just have to wait and see, Pitty." Yukari smirked and then disappeared into a gap.
Pit blinked. "Did she just call me Pitty?"
"She did." Dark Pit replied as they went on the moving platforms and were already bombarded with cannons.
"This is crazy!" Lucy exclaimed, as the Gensokyo girls were firing danmaku at the cannonballs.
"I've faced crazier crap..." Marisa said. "And trust me, it was crazy."
"You don't say?" Jr looked at her before dodging a cannonball as they got to the base while Meiling grabbed a stamp and then when they stepped foot on it, they were greeted by Bullet Bills.
"This feels weird being bombarded by your own Bullet Bills..." General Guy said as they quickly dodged them.
"Now you know how we feel!" Rosalina told him as they kept on going, as they avoided more cannonballs as they went into a warp pipe, however Meiling kicked a wall to reveal a Green Star and then went in, then they were in a water section...and Marisa's already freaking out.
Ah geez, we need to get through this as quick as we can. Reimu thought. Because Nitori is still keeping an eye on Flandre... She thought as they kept on going, avoiding more cannonballs until they saw Torpedo Teds heading right for them.
Torpedo Teds?! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! Marisa thought as they quickly avoided them while getting another Green Star as they eventually got to the warp pipe with Marisa already running out of air since she was freaking out on the inside...but when they came out...Marisa wasn't with them.
"Where's Marisa?" Natsu asked.
"Oh no..." Reimu looked in the warp pipe and then hopped in it. "You guys keep on going, I got a best friend to save!" She exclaimed, and then seeing Lucy going in with her.
"You might need Aquarius for this." Lucy said as Reimu nodded and then they both dove in, to see Yukari holding Marisa down, as their eyes widened.
Heh, what are you gonna do about this? Yukari thought to herself, looking at the two girls. In a few moments, Marisa will die.
I gotta do something... Lucy thought. Open! Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!
Aquarius appeared in front of them and gave Yukari a dirty look. "So let me get this straight...you've been brought back from the dead?" She asked as she nodded. "Hmph..." Aquarius took out her urn. "Here's what I think of you!" She exclaimed and swung it, sending a wave of water to her, but Yukari pulled up Marisa as a shield, as she took the hit.
Useless. Yukari thought. If you try to hit me, I'll use Marisa as a shield. She smirked. Tick tock, ladies...what are you gonna do?
Reimu growled under her breath, taking out a spell card, but Yukari pulled up Marisa again, ready to end her once and for all, the look in her eyes saying that she'll just use Marisa to shield herself, forcing Reimu to put it away.
That's a good girl. Yukari thought and then aimed her hand at the three of them. This is where I'll kill the three of you. She thought. Farewell...
Suddenly, she was slammed into a wall, making her yell in pain and in the water, making her lose tons of air. What the heck?! She thought.
"Hmph...good thing I got here in time." A voice said as they looked to see Nitori with FLUDD strapped to her back.
Nitori! Reimu thought and then Nitori manipulated the water so that the three of them...minus Yukari and Aquarius to breathe.
"I manipulated it." She replied.
"Thanks." Reimu said and then picked up the drowned Marisa. "We'll just be taking this." She said and then they went back into the warp pipe while Aquarius went back to the Celestial world with Nitori following them.
Darn you... Yukari thought as she could feel she was about to pass out as she made a gap and then quickly went in, closing it behind her and coughing. "Stupid water manipulator! I could feel Marisa dying in my hands...I WAS SO CLOSE!" She exclaimed in anger.
"Someone's having an off day..." Ghirahim said. "I think it's because you lent some of your power to Flandre."
"SHUT UP." She yelled and then walked away out of pure anger.
"Must be that time of the month for her." Ghirahim said.
"Nah, she's always angry." Pandora told him.
Back with the others...
Natsu had taken the flagpole and they were waiting for them as they then saw the others landing in front of them. "How is she?" He asked.
"I'm just glad we got to her just in time." Reimu sighed. "Still...we need to get the water out of her."
"I think Erza can handle that." Wendy said as they nodded and then took off from the Launch Star that appeared.
How do you make Cosmic Cannon Cluster more annoying and insane? Add Bullet Bills and Banzai Bills!
