But all knew and acknowledged the ancient observatory. After all, that was where She resided on her everlasting journey through the cosmos.
On board, the Space Princess Rosalina was kneeling in a group of Luma. All of them were demanding her attention.
"One at a time. One at a time, my dears." She cooed. "I cannot hug all of you at once, now can I?"
The Luma paid that thought no heed. They all wanted hugs and they would not be denied.
The princess let out a laugh as one playfully pounced her, knocking her over.
"Alright! Alright! Settle down!" Rosalina protested. "There's hugs enough for everyone."
The air around them suddenly seemed to crackle. A jolt ran through her body suddenly and she sat straight up.
"Something is…Something is wrong." She murmured as she stood up.
The Luma crowded around her, whining from lack of contact.
As she walked towards the center of the observatory, stepping carefully over the Luma, she drew her wand from her sleeve and lifted it into the air.
The princess began floating into the air, magic swirling around her. Her hair was being whipped around violently from the force of the magic she was using.
The Observatory redirected it's course, heading for a familiar blue planet.
Her friends needed her help.
And she would provide that help. After all, what were friends for?
As the Observatory flew at full speed, cosmic dust blazing behind it like a comet tail, Rosalina prayed she would get there in time.
Or else, someone was going to die.
The Crystal Kingdom
In the Wasteland between Sarasaland and Darkland, a towering ruined fortress reached towards the sky. It had been years and years since it had been used. But it was what lay beneath the fortress that was important. For under the fortress lay the entrance to the Crystal Kingdom. The kingdom had rebuilt after being banished underground, carving buildings out of solid rock.
On this particular day, the Crystal King strode through the streets of his Underground Empire. He, like the other non-clones, looked much like a crystalized human. He appeared to be hewn from Ruby.
The king scoffed at his subjects, who fled before him like sheep.
Stupid morons. He preferred when his people were strong or intelligent. At least then, they were useful to him.
As he approached his castle, a giant thing hewn from the rocky terrain, one of his servants approached.
"My King." The servant spoke. "The prisoners are being belligerent."
The king chuckled.
"Which prisoners? We have dozens."
"The Princesses. Their powers tore right through the first layer of the special cell we had them in. Peach is demanding we give her the spawn. The one the Tygra force has."
The king scoffed.
"She's a prisoner. She has no rights to anything."
He was genuinely angry now. For six years Daisy, and then Peach, had given him no small amount of trouble. All three sisters had some sort of power that made them a formidable foe.
Peach had low level telekinesis, which allowed her to do a number of things, including floating and some fire attacks.
Daisy, on the other hand, had a third eye. This third eye had the tendency to move around a lot. One minute it could be on the back of her head, the next, on her hand. As such, they had covered her entire body in bandages, save for her eyes and nose and mouth. The bandages were made of the same material that the cell was, designed to drain the power of the wearer.
The reason they had covered her like that was fairly simple. That eye could fire a high powered concentrated beam of pure energy that could melt a steel beam.
It was time to show these two that he was not playing around anymore.
"Let us show Daisy the pictures of what Ariyana did to her subjects. Add the pictures from the attack from two days ago. As for Peach, go get Mario. Put them in the second Containment Cell until the old one is fixed. Make it twice as strong."
As he entered the castle, he made a beeline for the dungeons.
Opening the solid stone door leading down into the special containment area, he smelled something burning. Clearly Daisy had chewed through her bandages again.
"LET US THE FUCK OUT." Daisy's ragged voice came from one of the cells on the end.
"Now now Princess." The king chided. "Such language, especially from a princess."
Daisy's eyes flashed with anger when she saw him.
"I WILL RIP YOU-"
"Would you like to see what your mother has done to your kingdom in your absence?"
Immediately, Daisy fell silent.
"Please," She pleaded. "What has she done? Has she hurt the Flora?"
The servant stepped up beside the king and pushed the pictures through the bars towards the princess.
"The ones on the top are the older ones!" The servant pointed out. "The newer ones are on the bottom."
As Daisy looked at the very first photo, her heart almost stopped. Bile rose in her mouth as she forced herself to look at it.
Flora by the thousands were hung from the gates.
Daisy's eyes filled with tears as she flipped through the pictures. The Flora were in various states of decay. She could almost imagine the retched smell wafting off the wall.
"The Toads of Aurora Capitolus surrendered peacefully." The King commented. "But the Flora of Solaria? They fought us with fire. You would have been so proud of him. Right up to the point that we hung them living from the walls. Burial in the Sky sends a powerful message , I think, coming from ones who were buried below."
Daisy was staring at the most recent one. Peach had scooted over to see as well. The capital was aflame. Raven was visible in the bottom right hand corner.
"Why is Raven there?" Daisy's voice shook. "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO RAVEN?"
''She escaped. A group from Eagleland infiltrated and set the Capital ablaze. They escaped with The King when we surrounded them."
Peach spoke up, almost timidly. Her hair was ragged and short now, barely covering her ears.
"Dad is alive?"
"Not for long. Even if they did flee to your sister's lover, they will not live for long. Soon our clones will occupy Darkland's capital , and we will rule this pathetic continent."
Peach stared at him,a pleading look in her eyes.
"Please, I want Lina..I want my daughter-"
"You'll be too busy with Mario today." The king walked backwards out of the cell, reveling in the look of despair on her face. "Oh, and Princesses?"
As Mario entered the cell, Peach began to sob in fear.
An almost sadistic look crossed the King's face as he continued.
"Don't ever fucking presume to demand things of me again."
And then he was gone, leaving the girls to their fate.
