The sun slowly rose up from the horizon, the rays made its way toward Beacon as it shined brightly in the brisky cool air. The snow sparkled when the rays of the sun hit them as some of it shined brightly into some of the windows of the dorms.
"Zzzzz…" Cardin snored loudly as his clock struck 6:05 AM.
"Hey, good morning, Vale." Russel began, imitating a radio host. "It's now five after the hour of 6 AM in the big city. Temperature's a chilly twenty degrees, which is good news for you humans and faunus alike who like to play outdoors in the snow… and it looks like it's gonna be a perfect day to maybe, hey, just lie in bed, sleep in, or simply… WORK OUT THAT FLAB THAT'S HANGING OVER THE BED! Get up, Cardin!" He yelled as he blew an airhorn into Cardin's face.
"AH! AAAH! I'M UP! I'M UP!" Cardin yelled.
A few minutes later…
Cardin, now decked out in a new outfit, was doing push ups on the floor. "I don't believed I ordered a wake up call, Russel!"
"Hey, less talk, more pain, boss! The Schnee brother told me to supervise your physical training every day if you want to stay in physical shape as a street musician!" Russel said, as he was wearing a stopwatch over his neck.
"Hah… who knew being a street musician can be such a challenging job…" Cardin mumbled as he was sweating. He was now wearing a zip-up hooded jacket with a light orange left half and hood, a burnt orange right half, a pair of white strings on the hood, and black cuffs along with large monochrome accents on the left and back side. He was also wearing a black shirt with gold eagle wing graphics. A black and yellow trucker cap with an iron-on patch of the Winchester emblem on the front pane, a pair of dark grey acid-wash damaged roll-up jeans, a pair of ivory white sneakers with yellow and black accents, a pair of neon yellow wireless headphones around his neck and a silver eagle-shaped necklace.
Later…
"Hah… hah…" Cardin panted, sitting down on a bench at the park, looking exhausted. "Whitley, I like ya, but holy crap, man… you're killin' me here…"
"What are you doing?" A voice asked as Cardin looked up to see Chelsea and Kokoro approaching them. Chelsea also had a new outfit on her as well, she had a white collared button up blouse with rolled up sleeves, a black sweater vest, a pastel red necktie, a pair of black knee high socks, a black fingerless glove on her right hand, a gray plaid punk style gothic half-skirt and a pair of blank ankle boots. She still had her signature headphones over her neck.

"Taking a break, what does it look like?" Cardin rolled his eyes.
"Slacking off." Chelsea smirked.
"Bullcrap! You try not getting so danged exhausted after waking up early!"
Chelsea rolled his eyes. "Oh brother, what are we gonna do with you?" She chuckled.
"Oh hey guys!" A voice called out as they saw Ruby and Yang approaching them.
"Yo." Chelsea greeted.
"Sup." Cardin gave them a nod while Kokoro saw the sisters and let out a small cute yelp as she hid behind a tree… all the while her cat simply jumped up and decided to nestle on Chelsea's head.
"Oh hey… there was… Kokoro a minute ago." Ruby said.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys that Kokoron's really timid and shy around people she doesn't know." Chelsea pointed out.
"Koko… ron?" Yang tilted her head.
"Cute little nickname she came up for her." Cardin said.
"Mrow!" Yukina, Kokoro's cat, meowed.
"Oh well, there goes your new friend, Rubes. How are you gonna deal with that?" Yang smiled.
"Oh, don't worry…" Ruby pulled out a lollipop. "I've got a plan~!"
"…A lollipop?" Cardin asked.
"A mocha latte flavored one, to be exact!" Ruby grinned. "Ling told me what Kokoro's favorite flavor is and I went ahead and got one."
Yang blinked. "You're kidding. They made a flavor out of that?"
"Yang, they make slushies and milkshakes out of everything."
"Fair point."
Ruby hummed as she walked over to the tree, her feet crushing against the snow as Kokoro cautiously peeked from her hiding spot. She would see Ruby taking it out of the wrapper and handing it to her. "There, see? I'm not scary at all~" She smiled.
Kokoro would smile back as she reached for the lollipop, but Ruby pulled it away. "Whoops~!" She smirked playfully.
Kokoro pouted. "Grrr…" She tried to reach out for it again, only for Ruby to pull it away.
"Over here~!"
"Oh my gosh…" Yang giggled. "That's adorable."
"What is she doing?" Cardin raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, she's doing the same thing I did to her back when we were little. Except cookies were involved." Yang said and sighed blissfully. "Ah… memories!" She said, and then Ruby tossed the lollipop into the air.
"Got ya!" Ruby said as she hugged a distracted Kokoro.
"Ack! That was a dirty rotten trick…!" Kokoro yelped, trying to pry herself away from her… until the lollipop skillfully landed inside of her mouth. "Mmph?!"
Yang looked at her in surprise. "Except… the cookie would always land on her forehead. How did she do that?"
"I'll call that a fluke." Chelsea giggled. "So, what's going on in Toad Town today? I've been seeing tons of stands and activities going on."
"Oh, Peach was wanting to do a Winter Festival, so she's been setting it up." Yang said.
"A Winter Festival?" Ruby spoke up. "Hmm… something about this feels familiar…" She said as she was still hugging Kokoro.
End BGM
With Peach…
"There we go, it's almost complete!" Peach smiled. "Now, for the finishing touches!"
"What finishing touches? There's like… everything you could ask for!" Daisy pointed out.
"True, but there's something missing." Peach said as she brought out a walkie talkie. "Alright Rosie! Go for it!"
"Huh?" Daisy tilted her head as she saw Peach looking at the castle, causing Daisy to do the same as they saw Rosalina standing on the roof, her eyes closed as she aimed her wand up high as a beam of light shot out of her wand as it shot up into the sky. "What are you…?"
"Look!" Peach pointed up as Daisy would notice colorful shooting stars raining from the sky.
"Wait… is that…?" Daisy wondered as her eyes widened in surprise. "Peach… what's going on?"
"Oh, the last festival ended up in disaster, so why not have a redo? I present to you… the Winter Star Festival!"
BGM: The Star Festival (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
The shooting stars landed on the ground, scattering Star Bits all around as it rained all across the Mushroom Kingdom.
"Peach… you've outdone yourself!" Daisy grinned as Peach let out a giggle.
Out at Sojiro's…
"Mmm… all this new network stuff…" Futaba said, as smoke was coming out of her ears. "So… complicated… must… rest… tired brain…"
"Easy now, don't hurt yourself." Akira said. "How about you just take a break? You've been at it for a few days straight. You deserve some rest."
"Uuuuugh… that's probably a good idea. My brain's overloaded… so much code, so many things to track and put into… does this network go to Mistral or does it go to Menagerie… or does it go to Vacuo?! And the fact I have to connect it to the towers… good grief! News stations, the internet… I didn't think it'd be this complicated!"
"Yeah… come on, let's go. You've done a terrific job so far. How far have you completed it?"
"I dunno… 1%? 5%? 10%? I've lost track…" Futaba mumbled. "I need like a road map to figure out this jumbled mess! I'm gonna go crazy!"
Akira grabbed Futaba by the arm and dragged her away. "Let's go."
"If I write another line of code, it'll be too soon!" Futaba exclaimed as Akira dragged her out. "Why did they have to make such a trainwreck of a network! All the stuff I have to memorize because of a corrupted flash drive! CURSE YOU EGGMAN!"
"Hmhmhmhm~" Sojiro hummed, putting in a flash drive in her computer and downloading the data she saved off of it, then he unplugged it and turned her computer off, while also leaving a note on the screen.
At the festival…
"Wooooow!" Ruby's eyes sparkled. "It's just like the Star Festival… but winterized!"
"I'll say!" Yang grinned as they wandered around, where they would see a skating rink with Weiss gracefully ice skating, a vendor making hot chocolate where Hop and Bede drank some hot chocolate where Gloria already asking for a refill. A few Toad Kids plus Lillie were sledding down a hill while there was an event where Guzma and Team Skull were going at it against several Koopas and Shy Guys, also the rest of Team ATM.
"Wonderful!" Ruby smiled.
"I'll say!" Mario walked over with Luigi. "It's a Christmas wonderland!"
"…Christmas… what now?" Ruby tilted her head.
"You guys never heard of it?" Luigi asked.
"Well… in Remnant, we had a thing called a Snow Festival. Not that big of a deal but there were a lot of candy canes and hot chocolate." Yang said.
"It's kind of like that with us, but different." Mario said.
"Yeah, that would explain why people are decorating a tree for some reason." Ruby said, glancing at kids happily decorating a Christmas tree.
"And the music." Yang said.
"Ah yes… that. They're catchy, but there's one song in particular that confuses me." Ruby said.
"What is it?" Mario asked.
"Well…"
Pause BGM
"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart~ And the very next day, you gave it away~ This year… I'll save you the tears and give it to someone special~"
"Huh?" Ruby tilted her head.
"So is it like… a literal heart or a figurative one? I'm not sure, honestly… it's confusing." Ruby said.
"Figurative." Luigi said.
"Oh good!" Ruby sighed with relief. "That's not as disturbing as I thought it'd be."
"Well… it can't be worse than what I had to go through." Weiss spoke up as she walked over to them.
"All I want for Christmas is yooooou~!"
"GAAAAAAAAAAH!" Weiss yelled as she was in Coconut Mall. "Whoever's in charge of the music in this mall, you've been playing this stupid song THREE TIMES ALREADY SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE!"
"If I hear that again… I swear, I'm gonna go insane." Weiss growled.
"At least it's not creepy music." Blake said as she walked up, drinking a hot chocolate.
"Creepy music?" Mario raised an eyebrow.
"You better watch out, you better not cry~ You better not pout, I'm telling you why~ Santa Claus is coming to town~"
"Huh?" Blake wondered as she was shopping in the grocery store.
"He sees you when you're sleeping~ He knows when you're awake~ He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good… for goodness sake~"
"What in the name of…?!" Blake exclaimed, having a disturbed look on her face with a shiver running up her spine.
"That's not… exactly creepy." Mario sweatdropped.
"No no, she's got a point if you think about it hard enough." Luigi pointed out.
"Thank you! I don't know who this "Santa Claus" is, but it sounds like he's a massive stalker. And if he comes to my house… he's gonna get it."
"Weeeell, can't be any weirder than what I listened to the other day when I was hangin' with Futaba." Yang said.
"…This kid wants a hippo for Christmas?" Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Yup!" Futaba nodded.
"How… is it gonna fit into the tub?"
"You think that's crazy!" A voice said as they turned to Nora approaching them. "There's a catchy song I like listening to but there's one thing that bugs me."
"And that would be?" Mario asked… and then Nora grabbed him by the shoulders, having a crazy look in her eyes. "Oh!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS FIGGY PUDDING?! IT'S BEEN DRIVING ME NUTS!" She yelled, violently shaking him.
"Waaaah!"
"No seriously, who would put FIGS in chocolate pudding?! It's so weird!"
"At least you guys aren't being left with questions!" Jaune said. "This song I've been listening to… it's not giving me any straight answers!"
"Let it go~ Let it goooo~! Can't hold it back anymore~"
"Let what go? What are you letting go?! WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING BACK?!" Jaune yelled, shaking the radio. "TELL ME WOMAN! WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING BACK?!"
"Honestly… the songs I've been listening to are… concerning." Ren said.
"How so?" Luigi asked.
"I'm not sure why someone would be so cheerful while singing about an old lady getting ran over by a reindeer…" Ren admitted as they would turn to Pyrrha who was looking rather annoyed.
"Pyrrha? What about you?" Ruby asked.
"…If I hear "thumpity thump thump" one more time, I'm going to scream." Pyrrha said as the Bros sweatdropped.
Resume BGM
"I never thought they'd get so worked up over Christmas songs…" Luigi whispered.
"Agreed." Mario nodded. "But come on-a guys! Are we going to complain about songs or are we here to have a fun time?"
"Yeah… he's right. We can't let these songs keep us down!" Ruby grinned. "We're here to have fun, darn it!"
"Dang straight!" Nora said. "Now let's get this party STARTED! …Or resume it." She shrugged. "But anyway… PARTY ON! WOOOOO!"
Meanwhile, with Ibuki…
"Yoooow! Break it doooown~!" Ibuki sang, strumming her guitar.
"Hey, Mioda." A voice said as Ibuki turned her head to see Kyoko approaching her.
"Heeey Kyoko-chan! Keeping yourself warm~?" Ibuki smiled.
"Yes… but there's something that needs your attention."
"Oh, is it about Eggman?"
Kyoko looked at Ibuki in surprise. "How did you-… never mind. Yes, it's about him."
Ibuki giggled. "What can she do for ya?"
"I need something that can make me blend in… something that Eggman will think I'm nothing more than just a random civilian."
"Ohoho! You want to go undercover and see what Baldy McNosehair is cooking, eh?" Ibuki grinned.
"Yes. He doesn't need to know that I'm a government agent… yet."
"Ibuki doubts that Eggman knows about the Future Foundation being in Remnant… but for a man of 300 IQ, she wouldn't put it past him if he gets suspicious if he hears those words."
"Indeed. Can you make something for me? So I won't… stand out and look like anyone important?"
Ibuki grinned. "You came to the right woman, Kyoko-chan! Follow Ibuki, she's gonna give you something that'll make you blend in!" She said, grabbing Kyoko by the arm and pulled her away.
"Wah!" She yelped.
Later…
"Alright, you ready for this, babe?" Ling asked.
"I'm still a bit… weirded out by this." Whitley said, as he had a blue streak in his hair. "But you know what? I can dig it." He smiled. "Now then, shall we?"
"Yeah!" Ling nodded as they would get up on a stage and joined Cardin, Chelsea and Kokoro.
"Alright! Good afternoon!" Chelsea cheered. "Are y'all having fun?!" She yelled as the crowd cheered.
"Holy moly… Chelsea looks stunning…" Mine said.
"Tell me about it!" Tatsumi agreed with Akame nodding as well.
"Are you guys ready for more fun!" Cardin yelled as the crowd erupted into more cheering. "Good, because we're about to have some fun too!"
Whitley smiled. "You know the saying, guys!"
"Let's get this party started!"
"Hit it!"
End BGM
However… before Sea5ons could "hit it", they heard a loud distinctive roar that was heard by all. "…Peach, I think that's for you." Daisy said.
Peach sighed. "Of all the days… of course it is." She mumbled. "Alright, let me just go pack up my things… I'll see you in a day or two."
However, Bowser slammed into the ground in front of Peach and let out a loud roar… but this time was was more corrupted. They could see his head glowing blue and his shell also glowing a distinctive blue color, not to mention his eyes were blue as well.
"Bowser…?" Peach wondered as she slowly approached him. Something about him didn't look right. "Are you okay?" She asked as Bowser had slumped a little bit, seeming as if he was fighting something.
"R-run…" Bowser could only say.
"Run?" Peach tilted her head. Something in his voice sounded like it was… begging. "Bowser, are you…"
"BWAAAAAAAARGH!" Bowser yelled, holding on to his head as everyone looked at the Koopa King not out of fear… but out of worry.
Something wasn't right and whatever it was, the Koopa King was acting weird and then the blue glow got more intense before Bowser stood tall and before Peach could do anything, Bowser's mouth started to glow.
Instinctively, Mario would quickly jump into the scene and push Peach down as Bowser breathed out a massive blue fireball where it hit one of the stands.
BGM: Queen Metroid Battle (Metroid: Other M)
"What on earth?!" Peach exclaimed in surprise as they would see airships flying in as the Koopa Troop would jump down on the ground while also launching glowing blue cannonballs all around Toad Town.
"What's going on?! Why is everything blue?!" Ruby yelled.
"I don't know… but I've got a bad feeling about this!" Yang said, cocking her gauntlets as they got ready to fight as several Hammer Bros threw large blue hammers at them as the townspeople were evacuating.
Rosalina would come flying in and telepathically caught the hammers, throwing them back at the Hammer Bros as a Koopa came sneaking it behind Rosalina, but Blake would come kicking it from behind and then shot up a few Goombas, both of them back to back as the latter activated her armor.
Azure came flying in after breathing fire on a few corrupted Slimes as Weiss hopped on and proceeded to fly to the airships.
Ruby turned her head, seeing several Grimm coming in… and they had blue on them too. "Even the Grimm?!" She yelled as a few Beowolves lunged at Ruby, but then they were cut down as Summer was in front of Ruby. "Mom!"
"Glad I got here in time." Summer said as Qrow came in and slashed a few Grimm and Slime Knights, then a Fire Bro was punched away as Tai came running in, then the latter would notice Heartless popping up as they would see them glowing blue as well.
"Guys?" Tai spoke up.
"Even the Heartless?!" Ruby yelled as a Keyblade came flying by and struck the Heartless as they turned to see Sora retrieving his Keyblade where they would see Riku, Kairi, Mickey, and the Wayfinder Trio destroying the Heartless, then a few blue Dark Balls popped up to surround them… only for Firagas to destroy them as Namine came running in and snapped her fingers, a Thundaga striking a Beowolf.
"Haaaaah!" Gloria yelled, fire punching a blue-infused Ursa while in her Darmanitan form as she was in front of Hop and Bede, then the Phantom Thieves would come in and help out, summoning their Personas while Futaba would proceed to buff them up.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Daisy wondered, finding herself back to back with Peach, both of them kicking away at a few Lakitus.
"I don't know!" Peach said as she turned to see Yang going toe to toe with Bowser, the former looking beat up.
"Nnngh! What's gotten into you… man? You're acting… not like yourself! Nnnngh!" She grunted, backing away from a swipe as she threw out a Hadoken as Mario would jump in and punch him, but Bowser grabbed him and threw him to the side, but Mario would quickly get back on his feet.
"Yo yo!" A voice called as Mario turned his head to see Yoshi running in as he screeched to a halt. "Yo!"
"Right!" Mario hopped on Yoshi as the latter ran toward Bowser, only for Bowser to jump up into the air and put his hands up in the air, forming a big ball of blueish fire that was the size of Toad Town Square. He let out a loud corrupted roar and threw it down and ready to extinguish them all…
…If it wasn't for a massive laser that struck it as they would turn to see Samus unleashing her Zero Laser at them. "HRAAAAAAH!" Samus yelled, as her Zero Laser pierced through the fireball and struck Bowser, hitting him in the head as he fell to the ground and on his back.
End BGM
However, they would notice blue blobs having formed all over Toad Town, and blue fires engulfed everything around them. "What is this stuff? Why is everything blue?" Gloria asked.
Samus scanned the area, taking a good look around as her heart dropped… realizing what was going on. "Oh no…"
"What is it?" Ruby asked.
"Phazon… then that would mean-" Suddenly, Samus was pinned to a lightpole. "Nnngh!"
"So nice of you to join us. You fell right into our trap."
"Rrrgh… should've known you were behind this." Samus glared, giving her dark clone a glare as Dark Samus snapped her fingers where everyone would be ensnared by phazon tentacles.
"Nnngh!" Ruby grunted.
"Mmph!" Yang winced.
"Let me guess, you're the one who corrupted Bowser?" Samus glared.
"She didn't do it alone!" A voice said as Ridley landed on the ground.
"Oh typical." Samus rolled her eyes. "You really want to do this? Cause massive disarray to the galaxy once more and dragging everyone into your mess?"
"I have been reborn, Samus… it is time that Ridley and I do things our way. Just like old times." Dark Samus chuckled.
"Ha! You and what army, bitch?" Samus smirked through her helmet. "You only recruited the Koopa Troop to do your bidding."
"You may recall that Kraid and Mother Brain have been missing in action."
"They don't scare me."
"I had a feeling you'd say that… which is why we've been… experimenting with the Assist Trophies as of late… creating new ones!"
"Like what? Ordinary space pirates?" Samus scoffed.
"See for yourself." Dark Samus said as she stepped away as Samus would see… her own armor approaching her.
"Pffft! HA! Oh please, as if that would-"
"So nice to see you again… Sammy."
Samus let out a gasp. "That voice…"
BGM: Fifth Laboratory (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
"Oh yes, did I forget to mention that we… revived a few?" Ridley said as Samus's armor shape shifted into someone more… electrifying. "It's amazing what you can do with Assist Trophies."
Samus looked at the person in surprise. It was as if she was seeing a ghost. "Gan… drayda…" She whispered.
"What's the matter, Sammy? You look like you've seen a ghost." She said and then before Samus could do anything, Gandrayda kicked Samus hard enough to send her sliding several feet. Samus aimed her arm canno at Gandrayda… but suddenly, she was picked up by a heavy mech.
"Nnngh!"
"Hello there, Samus! It's been a while!"
"Rrgh… Ghor…?!" Samus grunted as Ghor threw her into the ground and started pummeling her as she tried to fight back, but Ghor grabbed her and threw her into a fountain.
Samus got up, letting out a grunt as she aimed her arm cannon at the two… but then she found her legs getting frozen in the fountain. "Mmmph! Wait… this ice…" She whispered as she looked to see someone ice skating toward her in the air. Her eyes widened in horror.
Gandrayda.
Ghor.
And now…
"Rundas…" She whispered as she aimed at him… but found herself unable to fire as Rundas would hop off and froze Samus in place, save for her head. "Nnngh!"
"It seems as if you are more fragile than you appear…"
"That is enough." Dark Samus approached them as she got in Samus's face. "You like what you see? Consider this an appetizer to the main course." She said and then broke through the ice, latching her hand onto Samus's chest. "You won't be needing this." She smirked as her hand glowed a dark aura.
"Nnngh!" She grunted, trying desperately to fight it, but… "Aaaagh… AAAAAAAAAAGH!" She screamed.
"Samus!" Blake yelled, trying to break free as Rosalina attempted to do the same, but found themselves getting nearly frozen by Rundas.
"Do not interfere."
Speed Booster and Shinespark disabled.
Spider Ball disabled.
Power Bombs disabled.
Spazer Beam disabled.
Arm Cannon disabled.
Paralyzer Gun disabled.
Jet boots disabled.
All systems disabled.
Dark Samus pulled Samus out of the ice and kicked her down. "Now you're weak… you're nothing."
"Ha… ha… what have you done to me…" Samus growled, stumblig to get herself back up.
"Making sure you don't interfere." Dark Samus said. "Now with you at your weakest… our galactic conquest will begin!"
"And with Bowser by our side… we will be victorious!" Ridley said.
"Everyone. Get back to your airships. We are heading out." Dark Samus said as the Koopa Troop and Bowser would get back into the airships and flew off into Ridley's ship as Dark Samus disappeared into a dark portal.
"Don't… don't you DARE!" Samus yelled as she stumbled over to them, but Ridley got in the way and before Samus could do anything… Ridley shoved his tail into Samus's gut. "Nngh!"
"Happy trails… bounty hunter!" Ridley smirked as he flew off.
End BGM
"D-Damn… you…!" Samus grunted, blood trickling down her mouth as her armor deactivated but Rosalina would quickly be by her side and healed her up.
"Easy…" Rosalina whispered.
"What's going on?!" A voice asked as they turned to see the Strike Team coming in. "We were facing Phazon infused Grimm and other creatures across town!" Roy said, as they were joined by ROB, Adam, CFVY, JINX, Umber, Lillie, Guzma, Team Skull and Hau.
"Ridley and Dark Samus… they just declared war." Samus growled and clenched her fists. "Those sons of…"
"Heeeey! Is everything alright?" A voice called out as they turned to see Reimu, Marisa and Youmu flying over.
"We were busy destroying some weird blue guys at Mushroom… Hills, I think?" Marisa rubbed her head.
"What's going on?" Youmu asked.
One explanation later…
"So that's their game…" Roy said, his arms folded. "Galactic Conquest and they're dragging us into their mess."
"Hmph… and knowing the Galactic Federation, they're probably turning the other cheek." Olivier said.
"They've always been incompetent." Edward said with a shrug.
"Not to mention our star player has everything disabled." Adam said, sitting on ROB's head. "So… what do we do?"
"Okay, hold up!" Weiss said. "What even is phazon anyway?"
"Basically, phazon is a poison that corrupts anything that comes into contact with." Samus said. "I should know… I experienced that myself. It's known as the great poison."
"And with the galaxy about to be conquered by those guys… that's not good." Akira said. "We need to stop this now."
"Right." Samus nodded. "The Space Pirates aren't going to get away with this."
"W-w-wait… the g-great poison?!" Luigi spoke up, paling at the thought. "Oh dear… I just remembered something."
"You left the oven on?" Weiss rolled her eyes.
"You have a stomachache at this convenient moment?" Blake spoke up.
"You left the fridge open and all the pasta is getting spoiled." Mario chimed in.
"You forgot to give your Pokemon food for the day?" Ruby added.
"You're about to go into a Smash match?" Yang asked.
"Face it, bud… we've all heard it before." Nora said.
"I… I…. I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY!" Luigi yelled as he took off running… and all eyes slowly turned to Daisy.
"Wait… what…? I… HUH? Okay, THAT'S a new one!"
"Are you really pregnant?" Makoto asked.
"NO! …As far as I know!"
Suddenly, a ring portal opened up as Hoopa was dragging Luigi out. "Come on, big guy…!"
"No! No! I want to live! I WANT TO LIIIIIIVE!"
"Not to mention Peach is gone!" Ruby said. "So we have to go save her!"
"Uh… honey?" Summer spoke up and pointed her thumb to Peach behind her. "Peach is right here."
"Hello!" Peach smiled.
"…Oh." Ruby blushed.
"Alright… so… we've got a space pterodactyl to take down." Coco said, putting her bag over her shoulder.
"Mmm…" Samus looked at everyone who was raring to go. RWBY, JNPR, the Mario Bros, Yoshi, the two princesses, Rosalina, JINX, CFVY, CRDL, ATMC, Sea5ons, the Galarians, the Alolans, the Gensokyoans, STQ, the Strike Team, the Destiny Trio, the Wayfinder trio, Namine, Mickey, the Phantom Thieves, ROB and even Adam. "…We need more."
"More? What are you talking about?" Ruby asked.
"It's better to be safe than sorry… considering these are the Space Pirates, we need all available hands on deck." She said. "This is going to get ugly fast…"
"We're with you." Rosalina said.
"HELL YEAH, WE'RE GOING BACK TO SPACE!" Nora cheered. "WOOO!"
"And one other thing…" Samus looked at her disabled paralyzer gun and Jet Boots. "I need a weapon."
Later, at Beacon…
"Here ya go!" Ruby said, handing Samus a modified AR-15. "It was either this or a regular pistol, so… you're good to go!"
"Hmm…" Samus mused, pressing a button as it suddenly morphed into her arm to form an arm cannon. It was colored orange and white, and had a scope that was levitating off the arm that acted like a Promethean weapon from Halo.
"Okay, I can get used to this."
"Hey!" Yang called up as Samus turned around to see the Reds and Blues, (Carolina and Washington included) Palutena, Pit, Dark Pit, Pikachu, Pichu, Newt, Sun, Neptune, Penny, SAPR, Claude, Hilda, Lysithea and even… Bernadetta.
"Mmm… why did I have to be dragged out of my room for this…" Bernadetta groaned.
"I feel the same way. I'd rather not be dragged out for another adventure…" Hilda sighed.
"Now this is an army." Samus smirked as Pikachu and Pichu jumped on her shoulders.
"Galactic conquest happening? Not on our watch!" Penny grinned.
"We'll knock 'em down!" SAPR smiled.
Samus nodded. "Let's move out."
"Yeehaw!" Sarge grinned, pumping his shotgun.
With the KH gang…
"You guys made a Gummi Ship too?" Sora asked.
"Yup." Terra nodded. "We call it the Thalassa Shell. We have an extra compartment for those who join us and not get cramped inside that tinier Gummi Ship."
"Hey, it's not that tiny!" Sora defended.
"No offense, but it is…" Riku said. "We barely squeezed in when we came to Remnant."
"You weren't there, Sora… it was a long trip." Kairi sighed.
"Ooooh…" Sora grimaced.
"But never mind that!" Aqua said. "We took care of it." She smiled.
"Yeah, and unlike the last one, this one has cup holders!" Ven added.
Sora sweatdropped. "Cup holders? Darn it… I told Donald cup holders was a good idea…" He mumbled.
With the Pokemon trainers…
"Well, I owed you guys a space adventure last time, so here you are!" Gloria smiled.
"Yeah! We're going to space!" Hop grinned. "Woo!"
"I hope I won't get in you way… but I'll do my best to support you guys up there!" Lillie said.
"Team Skull is gonna knock 'em dead!" Guzma grinned.
"Mmm…" Umber had his arms folded, looking a bit worried.
"Something wrong?" Gloria asked.
"Marnie… she's with the Koopa Troop. Has she been infected by the Phazon? I'm worried about her."
Gloria frowned. "Yeah… I'm worried about her too."
"It's Marnie, I'm sure she can handle it." Bede said.
"How can you be so sure?" Hop asked. "I'm worried about our punk too."
"Ah… I'm sure she's fine!" Hau smiled. "I mean… yeah, her arm and eyes are gone, but from what I've heard, she's a trooper! But hey, it's about time we Alolans got in on the action!"
"Well, the more the merrier!" Gloria grinned.
Phantom Thieves…
"I can't believe it… we go from stealing Roman Torchwick's heart to going into space just like that." Ryuji said. "Talk about a quick escalation."
"It's amazing… but you know what? We can handle it." Akira said.
"Yeah!" Futaba nodded. "And besides, it can give my brain a rest… get my mind off things for a while." She chuckled. "Plus, dad put a note on my laptop saying that he saved the data in a flashdrive, so… yay!" She smiled.
With Rosalina…
Rosalina hopped into the observatory, her casual attire being magically replaced with her cosmic gown. "Polari. Is everything ready to go?"
"It's all ship shape!" Polari saluted.
"Good. Now let's go save this universe." Rosalina said, raising her wand up in the air.
BGM: Grand Star Rescue (Super Mario Galaxy)
A cosmic shield surrounded the Observatory as it lifted itself off the ground as she, along with the passengers in the Observatory braced themselves as it shot off into the sky.
"This is Rosalina reporting in. We have lift off!" Rosalina said.
"We're right behind you." Samus said as her ship, the Strike Team's ship, the Gummi Ship, and the Thalassa Shell flew off right behind the Observatory, all of them leaving the atmosphere.
Ibuki watched them all fly off, her fists clenching. "You're gonna go off on this adventure without her?" She smirked and then turned around, seeing Kyoko looking worried.

"Bowser was that color… I… I need to go with you! He could be seriously hurt by this Phazon or… or… something worse! I need to-"
"Kyoko-chan, breathe! Breeeaaaathe." She said, putting her hands on Kyoko. "Ibuki's gonna go solo on this one. She's braved the dangers of space, so she'll take care of that for you. Besides, you've got your own fires to fight with Eggman, right?"
"…Yeah, you're right."
"She'd ask Hiyoko-chan to help, but uh...after the last time we went in space and the universe reset, Hiyoko-chan was curled up, super glad to be alive but at the same time super scared...no doubt she would tell her to piss off if she asked."
"Just… do me a favor." Kyoko said as Ibuki looked at her. "Just… please… bring them all back home…" She requested, tears forming in her eyes. "Bring Bowser back home… I… I care about that big lug!" She said, tears falling from her cheeks.
Ibuki smiled, turning around and looking at the sky. "Dry your tears, Kyoko-chan. Ibuki will bring everyone back home safe and sound… and you can cry into Bowser-chan's chest when we bring him back from his Phazon funk!" She said, turning around and hugging her before hopping on her hoverboard and flying off, pulling out her guitar.
"…Right." Kyoko nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes and taking a deep breath, her eyes then filled with determination. "Alright Eggman… it's game time."
"This situation is really bad." Ibuki said, strumming her guitar.
BGM: It's Bad (The Sedonas)
As Ibuki was playing, she would see something in the corner of her eye as she would see an ice phoenix flying up. She would get closer and see Emerald and Roman flying on it. "Heeeey you two! What are you doing here?"
"We heard what happened and we're going to go help them out." Emerald said. "Esdeath thought I could help them out."
"And she came to me at the Mansion because of how much I care about Bowser." Roman said. "So! What'ya playing?"
"A song fitting for the situation. Let's roll!" Ibuki said as they would proceed to fly off into space.
Down below, a certain Jester was watching. "Ahahaha… a whole army and they think they can win against that? How amusing~!" He said. "Perhaps we should… make things interesting!" He smirked. "Come along, Seryu… the two of us are going on a space trip!"
"Right."
End BGM
Unbeknownst to them, Yukari watched this transpiring. "Hmm…" She mused as she flew down and she looked to see doctors getting the infected into the hospital as she would peek in and see doctors scrambling to make a vaccine for the Phazon.
"No, this won't do at all." Yukari said, going into a gap. "Hey, Eirin."
"Hmm? Oh hello, Yukari." Eirin smiled. "What can I do for you?"
"There's some massive infections going on in the Mushroom Kingdom, and an army is heading into space to stop this from happening." Yukari said.
"Infection?"
"It's called Phazon, and whoever touches it, it gets infected and corrupted." Yukari said. "Known as the great poison."
"Interesting!" Eirin nodded. "So you want me to go help out the heroes?"
"No… I'm sending you and Reisen to accompany them." She said, opening up a gap as Eirin fell inside.
"Ack!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Reisen screamed.
"And once you develop a cure for the Phazon, I'll send some over to the Mushroom Kingdom~" Yukari giggled.
Meanwhile… with the Space Pirates and infected Koopa Troop…
"Bwahahahaha!" Bowser roared. "Today, the galaxy will be conquered and all of it will be infected with phazon!" He declared.
"ALL HAIL THE GREAT PHAZON!" The Infected Koopa Troop yelled as Ridley and Dark Samus were by Bowser's side.
However, not all of them were infected as behind them, the only ones who weren't infected by the Phazon were Kamek, General Guy, Bowsette, Rei, Junior, Neo, Marnie, Piers, a handful of Team Yell, the Captains (minus Captain Slime as he's been unfortunately corrupted). Tech and even Cinder.
"This is barbaric…" Marnie said, glaring at Ridley and Dark Samus. Even she had a new outfit that Luminary and his friends had given her. She was now wearing a black leather jacket with a bright crimson Bowser Logo on the back, with the collar of the jacket having pink fluff lining it, a pink t-shirt, some black leather pants, and the spiked shoes from Sw/Sh red in color. She also wears spike cuffs on her wrists like Bowser.
A deep growl escaped Bowsette's throat. "I know… and to make matters worse, our kids are corrupted by this." She said, as the Koopalings were also infected by the Phazon.
"Dad…" Junior whispered in concern.
"Gaaaaah… this is not right!" Captain Shy Guy said.
"We have to think of something, right?" General Guy asked.
"I… I wish I knew…" Kamek said sadly.
"As much as I don't like Bowser… this whole thing is… barbaric." Cinder said. "…Still, I have to say, it's an improvement…" She said, earning a glare from both Marnie and Neo. "However, I'm open for ideas on how to get him out of this mess."
"And everyone else." Piers said.
"Mmm… I just hope we can get out of this alive before it's too late." Marnie said with a hint of worry in her voice.
Ibuki: It's bad~ It's bad~ This situation here~!
Indeed... the Space Pirates declared war and Samus is ready for war with everyone on board!
Also, if you want a good picture of what the Wayfinder Trio's ship looks like, look up Thalassa Shell from Blazikenmaster442 on Deviantart because the way Yoshi designed it... I think it would be rather... complicated if I were to try to describe it.
