The Shroob Mothership's interior was quite large. The walls were a light shade of blue, and the tiled floor was a light purple. The group of ten appeared on the first floor, also known as the bottom of the ship.

"Whoa! I don't feel a thing! That Panacana or whatever it's called really works!" Natsu grinned, flexing an arm.

"Panacena…" Mickey mumbled.

"So, what's the plan?" Aile asked, looking around the unfamiliar ship a bit nervously.

"We'll cover more ground if we split up," Mario nodded.

"S-Split up…?" Moon stuttered over her words, shaking in her high heels a bit.

"Not alone!" Mario quickly stated, "This place is way too dangerous to roam around alone."

"So what do you suggest then?" Shu asked, keeping his guard up for any potential sneak attacks.

"We split off into groups. Group one: Aile, Natsu, and Sailor Moon. Group two: Link and Shu. Group three: Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. And the last group will be Sonic and I," Mario nodded.

"These groups don't sound too bad," Donald nodded.

"Alright, split up, and be careful. Oh! And Usagi…er…Sailor Moon, whatever you do, DON'T let that key go," Mario continued, his voice stern.

"H-Hai!" Sailor Moon nodded, "I'll do whatever I can to hold onto this key!"

"Hey…I have a question…" Sonic interjected.

"What is it?" Link asked.

"So, that cannon's only going to fire once that key's in there, right? So, what happens if we overload the cannon?" Sonic looked at the group, feeling as though he was onto something.

"That…could work…" Aile nodded, "Yeah that would work! If we overload the cannon, it would explode; and looking at the size of the cannon, it would also bring this entire ship down with it…"

"So, I have to get the key to the cannon and overload it?" Moon asked,
tilting her head.

"You also have to keep it away from the bad guys too!" Goofy replied, making sure his shield was ready.

"Alright!" Moon nodded in response, making sure she kept a tight grip on the key.

"Are we all ready? Then head out!" The groups nodded as they went in separate directions. Natsu's group went Northeast, Link and Shu went southwest, and Mickey's group went east.

"So, where are we goin', Red?" Sonic asked, rubbing the inside of his ear with his finger.

"We're going all the way to the top," Mario said, pointing to the elevator behind them.

"We're gonna take on the Princess herself?" Sonic was a bit surprised at how quickly Mario wanted to finish things up.

"That's right, the faster we get rid of her, the better," Mario replied, walking towards the elevator.

"Well alright then, fine by me, heh," Sonic shrugged slightly, stepping inside the round elevator with Mario as it started to head up."

Around twenty minutes later, Natsu's group arrived at a split path. On the left, there was a sign that read: "This way!" and on the right, there was no sign that said anything.

"Huh…?" Moon walked over to the sign, leaning in to read it, "This way…?"

"It's obvious we go that way," Natsu nodded firmly.

"No you idiot…" Aile sighed, "That's obviously a trap…."

"What?" Natsu shook his head in disagreement, "How is it a trap? It's telling us which way to go!"

"We don't even know where we're going!" Aile shouted, flailing her arms around.

"We're heading to the cannon room, right?" Moon placed a finger on her chin, looking at the other two innocently.

"Well, yes," Aile sighed, "But we don't know which way we're going, and I think it's a little suspicious that a sign is here telling us which way to go…"

"Maybe someone here gets lost on the way there…?" Natsu scratched his pink hair cluelessly, honestly believing what the sign said.

"What should we do…?" Moon asked, leaning against the sign.

"Allow me to tell you," A voice from behind them said; causing the three to turn around quickly. It was the white hooded male.

Moon's eyes widened at the sight of him, "Y-You were the one on the Halberd!" The flashbacks of the hooded male quickly flashed in Moon's mind.

"Aye...Yeah, that was me…" The figure rubbed their head sheepishly, sighing. Moon ran up to him, pulling out her rainbow flashing tiare.

"What did you do to my tiare!?" Moon shouted.

"H-Hey! Usagi, calm down!" Aile readied her dual blades incase the figure was going to attack.

"I didn't do anything," the figure said, "You're the one who decided to try and twack me with it, so I simply defended myself."

"B-But when it hit your sword is started flashing! It's never done that before, and now it's able to use elemental attacks!?" Moon waved the tiare in the figure's face, causing him to back away a few steps.

"Oi, calm yourself, Moon girl," the figure sighed, "I didn't do anything, but it seems my sword and your…tiare had some kind of reaction." He glanced at the tiare, not allowing his eyes to be seen from the shadow of his hood. "Earth, fire, wind, water, and lightning, it seems…"

"Wait, what?" Natsu blinked, "What's that have to do with that stick?"

"IT'S CALLED A TIARE." Moon snapped at Natsu, glaring at him slightly.

"I'M CALLING IT A STICK!" Natsu huffed and crossed his arms.

"…Anyway…" The figure coughed, "You're aware you can use new attacks now, right?"

"Well…I used the fire and electric on the Halberd…" Moon examined her tiare, "But it was only when I used it on a certain color…I had no control over which one it was."

"Oh, well you can fix that easy," The figure, grinned slightly. "You see, all you have to do is focus on which color you want and you'll use that attack, or you could use your normal attack."

"I'm so confused…Moon held her head, her eyes spinning; she felt as though she was in school all over again, learning seemed to follow her wherever she went.

"…She's not a fast learner, is she?" The figure looked up at Aile and Natsu.

"I'm not the only one?" Natsu blinked a few times in surprise.

"Doesn't seem like it," Aile shrugged, still on guard; she didn't trust this figure, mostly because she didn't even know who it was under the hood.

"I'll put it like this. Since your attacks usually have something to do with the moon this should help. For red, you could call it Red Moon: Fire Spiral. For yellow, you could call it Thunder Moon. How's that sound?" The figure asked.

"Oh, that's easy to remember!" Moon grinned, nodding her head a few times. "I haven't used the other ones yet…so I guess that'll be a surprise…"

"Well, glad I could help," the figured nodded before pointing to the left, "Anyway, that's the way you guys are gonna want to go."

"Hold on a second now…" Aile walked up to the figure; he was certainly taller than Aile, and Aile was tall for a 14 year old; Aile was about 5'4, half a foot taller than Sailor Moon; and the figure was even taller than Aile. "Who are you? Why did you just help Usagi?"

"…I can't tell you that. However, just trust me on this! On the right side is a group of angry poison mushroom thingies waiting to ambush you guys. Ta ta!" And with that, the figure vanished.

"H-Hey!" Natsu lunged at the figure, but they had already vanished. "Who was that guy?"

"I don't know…" Aile replied, looking over at the path to the left, "Should we trust him?"

"I think we should!" Moon nodded, "After all, he did help me with learning how my tiare works now!"

"You trust rather easily…" Aile sighed, "Alright, alright, let's go. If he was lying to us, I'm sure he'll show his face again sometime soon anyway.
