"I've never seen anything like this…" Link mumbled as he looked around the high tech interior of the Shroob Mother ship, completely lost as he followed behind Shu.

"I can't tell if this place is less or more high tech than Nene's mother ship…right now they're on par," Shu replied, keeping a steady eye out for anything that may jump out at them.

"Think we're going to run into anything?" Link asked.

"Probably those mushroomy creatures," Shu replied once more, taking a right down the large corridor, "They aren't that strong though, so I doubt they'll be any trouble."

The group of girls in the unknown area had walked into a giant, circular room; the room was large, the ceiling at 20 yards from the ground. The floor was hard white tile, the walls were blue, and there were no windows. "What a bland room…" Lucy sighed.

"Maybe we can hide out in here for a while…" Kluke remarked, lowering herself on the hard tile to sit on her knees, "…Maybe not…" The hard tile was too uncomfortable to sit on, so she stood up, using her hand to dust off her bottom of her dress while sighing.

"At least we can catch a breather in here…" Prairie smiled slightly, attempting to lift the mood for her and the others.

"Stay on guard, though," Zelda remarked, eying the door they came in from carefully, "They know this place better than we do…It's a miracle we've managed to get this far…"

"Don't spoil the mood…" Peach sighed, hunching over, "But…you are right…the fact they forgot to collar Chibiusa is a miracle in itself…"

"I still don't know how that happened…" Chibi Moon thought aloud, placing on hand on her elbow as she tapped her chin and looked up into the ceiling in deep thought.

"Let's not question it since it's gotten us this far…" Kluke nodded firmly, trying to keep the mood positive. A few minutes of silence passed before there was a loud bang at the door, the door curving in as though someone were ramming into it.

"W-What was that…?" The cheery sound in Lucy's voice replaced itself with panic in fear as her eyes widened slightly. The banging continued before the door slowly opened, revealing Metal Sonic.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy received the short end of the straw when picking directions. They walked into a large room with computers on both sides of the wall, green tubes reaching the ceiling all the way from the floor; most likely running throughout the entire ship, Mickey thought. They group of three ran into a large group of purple Shroobs, who did not take kindly to foreigners roaming around on their ship as if they owned the place. The Shroobs equipped their blasters, and immediately open fired on the group of three. Luckily, the Shroobs were not aware of Mickey and companies fighting abilities, so Mickey and his friends had the edge. "Are you guys okay?" Mickey asked as he hopped from Shroob to Shroob, easily dispatching the purple mushroom aliens with a simple swing from his glorified Keyblade.

"Never better, Your Majesty!" Goofy chuckled a hearty chuckle as he used his shield to block the incoming laser shots, then he spun around, a mini tornado forming from the speed at which Goody was spinning, "Come on!" Using his shield offensively, he slammed into a tiny group of Shroobs, blowing them away as Goofy used his Goofy Turbo special attack.

"Just fine, Your Majesty!" Donald's lisp echoed slightly throughout the room, though it didn't make sense to the Shroobs as they didn't understand English in the first place. Donald stuck his wand forward, a heavy burst of fire shooting out from his wand and at the Shroobs, sending them scattering in different directions.

In the elevator, the pair of Mario and Sonic sat around lazily as the ride continued, Sonic was laying on his side, his elbow on the cold, hard green steel floor as he propped his head up with his hand, using his other hand to cover his mouth while he yawned from the lack of excitement, "How long is this ride gonna take…?" Sonic asked in a bored fashion, staring out into the wall.

"It's a long ride to the top," Mario replied, sitting cross legged on the ground, fiddling with the item watch he had been given before he left the Mushroom Kingdom, "We'll make it eventually, hopefully before the others finish the fights I know they're going to get into…"

"Take out the boss and the minions won't be too much trouble," Sonic smirked. Mario nodded in response, and then the elevator suddenly stopped, causing the pair to fall on their backs.

"W-What the!?" Mario looked around frantically, waiting for attackers to appear from either below or above them; but nothing happened.

"What's the big deal!?" Sonic groaned, looking out the clear window of the elevator.

"See anything?" Mario asked, in somewhat of a panicked state, the sudden stop having startled him more than it should have.

Sonic looked out the window, an image of Fistleo's face floating at the exact point where they stopped, "What's that supposed to mean…?" Sonic scratched the top of his head with his pointer finger, completely lost on how this alien space ship worked.

"H-He's relentless…" Kluke cover her mouth with her hand, speaking softly as her eyes widened at Sailor Chibi Moon vs. Metal Sonic. Chibi Moon was panting, covered in bruises; she hadn't faced an opponent this ruthless in a long time, and Metal Sonic wasn't giving her any time to get her bearings straight as all the other girls could only sit and watch. Metal Sonic curled his body up into a ball and begun spinning, a high pitched noise getting louder and louder as his spinning in place only got faster; eventually, he rocketed forward, using his Spin Dash technique as he slammed into Chibi Moon, sending her into the wall as he jumped back a few yards away from her.

"Chibi Moon!" Lucy winced; she could feel the pain that Chibi Moon had gone through just by watching.

"She can't beat him…! We have to get out of here!" Prairie pleaded desperately to the others, in their current state, Metal Sonic was an impossible obstacle to overcome, so they had to run, they had to.

"Resistance is futile. Escape is futile, accept your fate," Metal Sonic said in a stone cold, metallic voice as he pointed at Chibi Moon, "If you don't this girl will suffer for your incompetence."

Peach clenched her fist, when something suddenly snapped into her head; everyone else around her who had collars on them had their magical abilities suppressed due to the collars around their necks. Peach was able to use one of her special abilities even with the collar on. Why was this? Because Peach didn't use magic. Peach stepped in front of Chibi Moon, her blue eyes glaring into Metal Sonic's robotic, emotionless eyes, "My attacks don't need magic to work. I'll be your opponent."
