"Just a little bit more…" Ruby mumbled as she was tweaking Chell's Portal Gun. "Little more… okay, got it! Try it out!" She smiled, handing Chell the Portal Gun.
Chell took it and then decided to fire a Portal on the ground and then at the ceiling underneath the screen. "Ha! It worked!" Ruby grinned.
"Great, so now she has no limits. Wonderful." GLaDOS mumbled.
"Cooooool!" Nora looked into it as she jumped in, where she would endlessly fall through the portals. "WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Why am I not surprised she would do that?" Ren wondered while chuckling, shaking his head in amusement.
"That just makes me sick just watching that." Grif groaned.
"Hmm! That gives me an idea…" Sarge mused.
"DON'T." Grif glared.
"Why not? Caboose is having a blast."
"Weeeeeeee!" Caboose cheered as he was falling into the portals, and then Zinnia did it next.
"Woooooo! This is so trippy, I love it!"
"Welcome to your new home, Chell. Everyone's just a bunch of lovable dorks." Samus said, causing Chell to silently giggle at this.
"I wonder if you guys took any pictures…" Penny said as she took Blake's scroll and looked through. "Aww, just only one thing."
"Paradoxes…?" SAPR wondered.
"Wait, what… NO WAIT!" Blake yelled.
"This sentence is false…?" Penny tilted her head. "Hmm, no, that can't be right. How can a sentence be false, unless if it's true… or maybe it's just trying to mislead something. Or better yet, it's putting you into a false sense of security that makes you think it's false, but it's clearly true. So perhaps the sentence is technically true… on the other hand, maybe the sentence is true but it is clearly a false statement. Or maybe-"
Smoke was coming out of Penny's ears. "Or perhaps… perhaps… ow… OW. What is this?!" Penny clenched her head. "Is this what you humans call a headache?!"
"I got it!" Winry smacked Penny on the head with her wrench.
"Ooof!" Penny grunted as Winry went to fixing her up, then noticed smoke coming out of SAPR's ears.
"How exactly do you refuse a mission… I thought it'd be simple as accepting the mission! What if we chose to accept it but we outright refuse it right after?! Ack, error! Critical error! Motherboard overloading with this intoxicating sentence!"
"Alright… let me fix you up." Futaba went to work on fixing SAPR up.
"…Keep those cursed words away from us." Penny gave Blake the scroll back, looking heavily tired.
Not my fault you took it… Blake thought.
"Pictures… heh, yeah…" Sora looked through his photos. "You guys might wanna throw in a selfie for the heck of it."
"Hmm?" Dante looked at Sora's Gummi Phone. "Hold on a second…" He pulled it away. "Did you… did you seriously take selfies off of every battle you took?"
"Yeah, thought it'd be fun to mess around and confuse them." Sora grinned.
"This is so… dumb." Dante said, seeing Sora taking a selfie in front of a confused Marluxia and Larxene. "And yet… this is something I'd do!"
"Oho! Am I giving you ideas?"
"You're damn right, you are!" Dante smirked, tossing the Gummi Phone to Sora.
"Why do I feel like my brother is going to do something stupid." Vergil said, sharpening his sword.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Nico said, casually eating a muffin while Lady was cleaning her weapons.
"Heeeey, Koko-chan!" Ibuki came walking over to Kokoro. "Ibuki made somethin' for ya!"
"Hmm?" Kokoro turned her head as Ibuki handed it to her. It was a Sunstone bangle bracelet. "…A bracelet?"
"Rosie-chan, Palutena-chan and Viridi-chan all pitched in to help out to making her this for ya. Try it on!"
Kokoro nodded as she put it on her left wrist. It started to glow with energy. "Whoa… what's this?" She wondered as a photon bow conjured in her hand. "Whoa!"
"Ta-dah~! Helios' Recurve!"
"Helios… like… the Greek God of the Sun?"
"Bingo! Palutena-chan had the idea and well…"
Earlier…
"You want me to do what?"
"Make a bow. Come on, Helios. I know you can do it." Palutena smiled.
"Oh Paulie, honey… you think I'm into that sort of stuff?"
"We have a little girl who's in need of a weapon. Well, she's not little, she's barely a teenager but still! She could use the upper edge."
"And why should I do that?" He asked, pulling his shades down.
"You ever heard of Phazon?"
"Oh right, Phazon. That blasted thing that corrupts anything? Pffft, the Hands were stupid! …What about it?"
"Oh, she encountered some Grimm, ReDeads, Gibdos and even a Dead Hand. All… by herself. And those Grimm were capable of making you lose the fight."
"Well, not my fault the human was dumb enough to take that on her own."
"She was left behind because of Dimentio. For the record, she's a Faunus."
"Never heard of him! You gotta do better than that, Paulie."
Palutena sighed, turned around and walked off. "Alright… I guess I'll just go talk to Selene. The more superior of you two. I'm sure she'll be able to create something magical and-"
"Wait!"
Got ya. Palutena thought with a smirk.
"You mean to tell me the moon goddess is superior to me? I give off life, thank you very much! All she does is keep the tides in check and make the night sky pretty! You think Selene can pull off something grand as a bow? Allow me to make something that'll wow this gal's socks off!"
"I heard that!"
"And it's the darn truth, Selene!"
Back in the present…
"Palutena-chan had to convince Helios. It was pretty funny." Ibuki giggled.
"So… I basically have… the god of the sun's power in my hand."
"Preeeetty much! It seems your semblance likes it!"
Kokoro frowned a bit. "It's great and all but… I don't think I'm worthy to-"
"Don't say that!" Ibuki knelt down. "Ibuki thinks you're worthy, hell even Palutena-chan thinks so! Viridi-chan agrees too!" She ruffled her hair. "Come on, if you weren't worthy to receive such a thing, you wouldn't be wearing it."
Kokoro's eyes widened. "You… you have a point." She then smiled and hugged Ibuki. "Thank you… and, don't beat yourself up over this. It's not your fault."
"…Wait, how do you-"
"You don't have an inside voice. I could hear you feeling sad that this happened and you wanted to make up."
"Huh? But… But… she thought she has a volume control! She can be quiet!"
Hiyoko walked by. "You don't. You're never quiet." She teased.
"Ooooh, who asked you, Hiyoko-chan!" Ibuki pouted, causing both Hiyoko and Kokoro to laugh, and then suddenly there was a large glowing light that caught their attention.
"Oh, what's going on?" Kokoro asked.
"There was a Hungry Luma! Mama just fed him Star Bits and he transformed!" A Luma chirped happily.
"Whoa…" Kokoro said in awe before smiling. "I wanna go to that new Galaxy!"
"I can go with ya!" Ruby said with a smile and with a nod from Kokoro, they set off with Zwei, Cerberus, Nora and Mine accompanying them
"Well, how about that. We got another Galaxy opening up too. Starshine Beach!" Polari said, catching Marnie's attention.
"Starshine Beach?" Marnie turned her head. "Wendy's there."
"Well, alright! Let's go get 'er then!" Larry said.
Marnie nodded. "We need a full team here. I've a feelin' it's gonna get wild."

Sweet Mystery Galaxy Power Star #1 - Bulb Berry's Mysterious Glow - Ruby, Kokoro, Zwei, Cerberus, Nora, Mine
BGM: Sweet Mystery Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Ruby and Kokoro landed on the ground, and then the two heard others landing behind them as they turned to the others. "Zwei? Cerberus!" Ruby grinned as she happily picked the two up giggling. "What are you two doing here?"
"I guess they wanted to follow ya." Mine said.
"Soooo uh… I hate to be that person, but… where's the road ahead?" Nora spoke up.
Kokoro would spot a Bulb Berry nearby. "Oh, it's one of those areas." She said, remembering how she glowed with the help with Ibuki and Gloria… and then those horrid images popped up, making her flinch.
"Kokoron!" Ruby called out to her, putting her hands on her shoulders. "Breathe… take it easy." She whispered. "Happy thoughts!"
"Happy thoughts…" Kokoro clasped her hands together, remembering the good times such as forming Sea5ons, her friendship with Chelsea, her love for singing… her own mother insulting her, the horrors that happened in Haunty Halls… she was starting to lose focus.
"Think for a second, Kokoron. What makes you happy?"
With a calming deep breath and resumed thinking of happy thoughts where her aura activated with the Bulb Berry as every platform was revealed to them. There was also "…We're standing on candy platforms. What." Mine said.
"Reminds me of Sweet Sweet Galaxy." Ruby said. "…Ah! Zwei, no! No chocolate, that'll make you get an upset stomach!" She said, pulling Zwei away.
"Uh… Ruby, you do know what chocolate does to pets, right?" Mine asked.
"Yeah, Yang told me that it makes dogs a little loopy and gives them an upset stomach!"
"How old were you when she told you this?"
"Three."
"…Oh dear." Kokoro said while Mine and Nora sweatdropped.
"Ruby… sweetie…" Nora would whisper in Ruby's ear.
"It does what? WHAT?!" Ruby yelled. "…Oooh, I'm gonna kill her."
Back at the Observatory…
"Why are you so… sleepy?" Yang wondered, gently poking Apollo before getting a chill. "Why do I suddenly feel like I'm in trouble?"
Back at Sweet Mystery…
"There there. At least you know now." Kokoro said, patting Ruby on the back.
"Well, at least we can move ahead to get that Power Star. Wouldn't you agree, Nora?" Mine asked but was met with no response. "…Nora?"
They would turn to see Nora in some sort of trance. "Nora? Helloooooo!" Mine yelled. "Where are you going?"
"Pancake…"
"Pancake?" Ruby tilted her head.
"Oh! There's a pancake planet over there!" Kokoro said, pointing toward the distance.
"Must. Eat. Pancakes…"
"Uh oh." Ruby sweatdropped.
"I got her!" Mine rushed after her and got in front of her. "Whoa, girl! Whooooa!" She said, pushing her hands out but Nora would just push her forward, still in the trance. "WHOA GIRL! WHOA! WHOOOOOOA! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!"
"…Should we go after them?" Kokoro asked.
"I… think they'll be okay." Ruby said as Cerberus let out a howl. "What is it boy?" She asked as she looked up to see a purple comet flying over head. "Oh cool, purple coins!"
"How exactly does more coins count as "prankster"?" Kokoro wondered.
"I dunno. Come on, let's get ourselves some coins!"
"Yeah!" Kokoro nodded cheerfully as they walked through and collected the coins.
"WHEN I SAY WHOA… I MEAN-"
POW!
"-WHOA!"
The four of them looked up to see Mine having knocked out Nora on the head with Pumpkin, looking incredibly annoyed while stars flew around Nora's head. "You were saying?" Kokoro mentioned, causing Ruby to sweatdrop.
"Hoo boy…" Ruby said as Mine picked up Nora and put her over her shoulders.
"Had to be addicted to pancakes, why couldn't you be addicted to somethig like waffles or cantelope…" She grumbled.
"Pretty colors… hahaha…" Nora laughed.
"I think she might be concussed." Kokoro said.
"She's fine. I didn't hit her too hard." Mine told her as they continued on while collecting the coins, then they saw some Choppahs flying around. Kokoro would summon the bow and aimed at a Choppah, releasing the arrow… but missing, and missed a few more shots.
Hold still… Kokoro thought as she kept firing arrows but to no avail.
"You lining up your shots?" Mine asked.
"Yeah."
"Try aiming a little ahead of them." Mine suggested as Kokoro aimed and fired a Photon arrow, striking the Choppah.
"Oh!"
"There you go." Mine smiled as Zwei and Cerberus would snag a few purple coins, then they would walk on some flip switches after collecting the last Purple Coins as Ruby would use her semblance to snag the Purple Power Star as they would launch away toward the Present Planet, where they would see it opening up as they would see the planet was made out of cake and had a Power Star up top.
"A cake?!" Ruby and Kokoro gushed.
"Hold on, what if it's real? The cake could easily be a lie!" Mine said, only to see them eating the cake. "…Oh brother." She mumbled.
"Ugh… my head…" Nora rubbed her head. "Mine… why are you giving me a piggyback ride?"
"Don't ask." Mine said as Nora would see the Power Star.
"Oooh!" She quickly reached up and grabbed it. "Got it!" She smiled as heavenly lights reached down and whisked them away.
End BGM
Back at the Observatory…
"Princesses." Kamek spoke up, catching Peach and Daisy's attention. "A word with you two, if I may." He said as he walked away, the two of them looked at each other curiously before they walked after the Magikoopa.
"What's up?" Daisy asked.
"So, this may sound completely out of the ordinary for someone like me, plus I'm aware this may bite me in the butt later on, but I believe it is time for you two to have a makeover."
"Makeover?" Peach tilted her head.
"Uh… define "makeover"." Daisy said.
"Well, I believe it is time you two get upgrades. Think on this for a second. Remember when you first met RWBY? You two, along with the Mario Bros, have always been ahead of them. And now, before anyone knew it, RWBY has gotten stronger and has left you in the dust. I could say the same for the likes of JNPR, JINXY and the other huntsman and huntresses. They have adapted rather well to our land."
"So you're saying we need to keep up with them?" Peach asked.
"Indeed. It's just a concern I have. I personally don't think it's fair that they're ahead and you're lagging behind."
"…Where are you getting at, dude? If you upgrade us, you do realize we'll just kick your ass harder, right?" Daisy pointed out.
"Oh, I'm well aware of that. Heck, I'm well aware Nyx will kick my behind after I gave her a massive upgrade." Kamek said. "However, I am willing to take risks, so why not?"
"Hmm… what do you say?" Daisy looked to Peach.
"Oh, I wouldn't mind a style change." Peach nodded.
"Excellent. I've just the thing for the two of you." Kamek waved his wand around. "Aaaand here we… GO!" He launched magic at the the princesses.
BGM: Peach's Castle (Fortune Street)
Daisy now wore a skirt that went with her orange T-Shirt, her brooch had draconic symbols surrounding it, she had pauldrons on her shoulders in the shape of dragons, Her skirt had a draconian pattern across the bottom of the skirt. A tiara was placed on her forehead and had dragon-like features on it, with an orange gem at the top to represent fire. She also had dark purple spiked gauntlets with clawed finger tips. She also wore some steel toed draconian boots that was a bit pointy at the end. Her eye color had also changed, now having crystal colored eyes.
As for Peach, her dress appeared more poofier, she was also wearing a corset. Her crown appeared slightly bigger with more jewels surrounding it. Her dress had a white floral pattern on her dress and a new set of red earrings appeared on her ears, as they were also in the shape of peaches.
"Whoa! When I was expecting a makeover, I wasn't expecting this!" Daisy exclaimed.
Kamek chuckled. "Now then, Princess Peach, I have made you a White Mage. Princess Daisy, I took the liberty to turn you into a Dragoon."
"Wait, you turned me into a dragon?!"
"No no, a Dragoon. Two Os. Meaning you excel at the art of spears and lances."
"Ooooooh."
"Not only that, I made your Crystal abilities more potent to where you no longer need a Crystal Flower to activate your crystal powers. Go wild with it, you might even summon a crystallic dragon."
Daisy's eyes sparkled. "Oh, that is awesome!" She said as she turned to Peach. "Peach, girl, you look more queenly!"
"I feel this corset might be a bit much…" Peach admitted.
"You'll get used to it." Kamek said.
Peach smiled at Kamek. "Thank you, Kamek."
Kamek nodded. "Anytime, your highness. Now, if you will excuse me, I must brainstorm on what to do with the Mario Bros." He said and walked off.
End BGM
"Oh, this is so AWESOME!" Daisy cheered. "Oh, I never felt more badass than usual!"
"I will admit, a white mage does seem to fit me quite well…" Peach admitted.
"Hell yeah, it does!"
"Dragoon?! Are you nuts!" General Guy exclaimed.
"Possibly. I may have given a reason for Lord Bowser to fear Princess Daisy even more."
"Him?! I think everyone else might be terrified of her raw power now!" General Guy sweatdropped. "I get they needed an upgrade but good lord, man!"
"I recognize I may have gone overboard, but that does give us time to power up as well, just so it's not a complete curbstomp."
"Obviously." General Guy agreed.
"Gah! Oooof!"
"Huh?" General Guy wondered as he and Kamek went to take a look and saw Ruby, in her Zinogre form, on top of Yang's back while Weiss was facepalming.
"You never told me chocolate kills dogs!"
"I just assumed you knew after all these years later!"
"I DIDN'T!"
"Do I even want to know?" General Guy asked.
"Probably not." Kamek agreed.
Meanwhile, at Starshine Beach…
BGM: Starshine Beach (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Marnie stretched the moment she landed on the ground. "Mmm! Alright, let's go find Wendy."
"Hey, Lady Marnie… might I ask you something real quick?" Larry asked.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Ya think you went overboard?" He pointed to those who she had brought with her.
Starshine Beach Galaxy Power Star #1 - Surf, Sand, and Phazon - Galar Quad, Larry, Junior, Bowsette, Neo, Mikan, Eirin, Reisen, JPR, Forces of Nature, Luigi, Yoshi, Hat Kid, DJ Grooves, Ibuki
"I might have, but considering there may be a lot of Phazon…" Marnie sheepishly scratched her cheek. "Best to be prepared…?"
"Eh, I get that!" Larry nodded.
"This galaxy reminds me a bit of Delfino." Pyrrha said.
"You think so?" Jaune asked as they walked forward, and then saw a Pianta. "Oh, haven't seen them in a while." He said as he walked over to one. "Hey, what's going on?"
"Oh, it's awful! This big blue gooey mess came and destroyed our island! It's awful…" The Pianta pouted.
"Well, we can fix it." Jaune said.
"Oh, that's wonderful! Here, I know a shortcut!"
"You do?"
"Of course! There's one thing you should know. A little secret, c'mere."
"Okay…?" Jaune got closer. "What's the secret?"
"My secret is…" He suddenly grabbed a hold of Jaune. "I'MMA CHUCKSTER!" He threw Jaune into the air.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"Jaune!" Pyrrha exclaimed.
"That… brings back memories." Luigi sweatdropped.
"Yo…" Yoshi agreed.
"Who wants a good chuckin'! Come on! I've got a mean chuckin' arm!"
"Uh… we'll… pass." Hop said as they went around him.
"No? Suit yourself!"
"I'll give it a whirl!" Hat Kid smiled.
"Alright, up you… GO!" He launched Hat Kid in the air.
"Weeeeeeee!"
Jaune faceplanted into the sand a little ways away. "Mmph! Mmmph!" He grunted as he pulled himself out. "Ugh… I see they're still murderers…" He grumbled.
"You okay?" Pyrrha asked as she approached him.
"Yeah, I'm fine… my pride isn't though…" He mumbled, and then saw the large pool of Phazon in front of him. "Oh!"
"Yup, there it is." Viridi said, readying her scythe.
"It's about time we got our time in the sun." Eirin said as Reisen got in her stance.
"Ohohohoho!" Wendy approached them, completely covered in Phazon. "You are just in time to celebrate my victory of becoming queen of the beach!"
"…This again?" Larry sweatdropped.
"How does one become queen of the beach if there's no competition?" Ren asked.
"Thank you!" Hop said with his arms raised.
"Hahahaha! Oh, it's simple… you just simply get rid of the competition until there's nothing left!"
"Rigging the competition? Normally, I'd be proud of ya but that Phazon's got a hold of ya pretty good!" Larry said.
"Come on, it's fun! You may now bow down before me! Aren't you proud of me, mother?"
"Uh… your crown is literally a starfish." Bowsette pointed out.
"It's a crown! Anywho, you may kiss my feet, you beach going peasants!"
Here comes the fanart… Ibuki thought while grimacing.
"What are you waiting for? Come on, I don't have all day!" Wendy said impatiently… and then Hat Kid landed on top of her. "OOOOF!"
"I think he chucked me a little too hard… but thanks for the landing! …What did I land on anyway?"
"Wendy, darlin'." Grooves said.
"Oh, I wondered why my landing was a bit bumpy…" Hat Kid hopped off before poking Wendy with her umbrella. "Poke poke."
"Well, that was easy." Reisen said as she walked forward to apply the cure.
"A little too easy…" Mikan stared at the water in front of her. "…I don't like this."
Eirin immediately summoned her bow. "Neither do I. Reisen!"
Reisen nodded. "Yup, something's coming!" She said as she took a step back right as a large green and yellow fish creature grabbed a hold of Wendy and dove into the water… before Wendy came out with more Phazon on her body.
"Woo! What a rush!"
"What… what the hell was that?!" Marnie exclaimed in shock as the creature came up out of the water.
"Draygon?!" Viridi yelled. "…Oh great, they revived that?"
"Do we get Samus involved?" Luigi asked.
"Nope. That thing's weak to electricity." Phosphora said with a smirk. "Heh, this is where I'm gonna shine!" She zipped her way over to the water. "Hey big guy! Over here!"
BGM: Mollusque Lanceur Battle (Super Mario Odyssey)
Drama Green - Draygon Wend-
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!
*Record Scratch*
Draygon immediately went belly up as Phosphora fried him up. "Sorry, boss title card. You were taking too long!" Phosphora smiled as she noticed something coming out of Draygon's belly as she flew over to see what it was. "Hmm! Samus might need this later." She said as Eirin and Reisen easily got a hold of Wendy as Mikan immediately stuck a needle into Wendy's arm.
"Nnngh!" Wendy grunted as the Phazon disappeared. "Ooogh…" She groaned, stumbling a bit but Junior, Bowsette and Larry were able to catch her.
"Didn't even give us a chance to shock it…" Luigi sweatdropped.
"Eh, it's all good." Ibuki shrugged as Viridi would slice apart Draygon with a hum.
"Sushi, anyone~?" Viridi smiled.
"I wouldn't mind having some of that, Mistress Viridi." Arlon said as Viridi cut through Draygon a few times before fishing out a Power Star.
"Oh! Well, don't mind if I do." She said, grabbing a hold of it.
"…Wait a moment." Hat Kid looked toward the tower. "What's that over there? Can someone give me a lift?"
"I got ya, kid!" Phosphora lifted her up and zipped toward the top of the tower, where both of them gasped as they landed on the ground.
In the middle was a pool of Phazon, and in the pool of Phazon was a Shiny Lapras that was infected with it. "Oh my gosh!" Hat Kid would walk over to it. The Lapras painfully turned to Hat Kid.
"L-Lap…"
"What's going on over there?" Viridi would asked Phosphora.
"Mistress, you're not gonna believe this but… there's a Lapras here covered in Phazon!"
"WHAT?!" Viridi yelled as a beam of light came down and Viridi walked out. "My word… how…"
"If I were to guess. This Lapras might be a resident of this galaxy, or it was brutally taken from its home and was going to be used against us. It seems to be a fighter though."
"You poor thing…" Hat Kid approached it as the Lapras knelt its neck down to reach Hat Kid's level, the latter gently putting her hand on its snout, all the while Viridi was burning up in rage.
"How low are they going to go…" Viridi snarled.
"Don't worry, it's going to be okay…" Hat Kid whispered to it.
Viridi twirled her scythe. "Come on, let's go." She said as they went back to the Observatory via heavenly light, taking the Lapras with them.
"Mmm…" Marnie had her arms folded. "I… may have indeed gone overboard if it was gonna be that easy."
"Ah, don't sweat it, Marnie-chan! It's all good!" Ibuki smiled as she looked up as a purple comet came through and dumped all the Purple Coins around the galaxy. "Now if you'll excuse her…" She immediately went into her Arcanine form. "Ibuki's got some coins to collect~!" She took off running.
Marnie let out a sigh, sitting on the sand. "It's too bad this galaxy is infected… it'd be a great place for swimmin'."
"Eh, it doesn't really beat Beach Bowl." Gloria said, sitting down with her. "Unfortunately, we can't go there because of that Phazon bitch."
"Yeah…" Marnie nodded.
"Hey guys!" Bede called out as the two turned their heads. "There's a Power Star on top of this tower over here!"
"And I'm not seeing a Cloud Flower in sight!" Hop added as Luigi was trying to jump up but to no avail while Neo was assessing the tower.
"I got it!" Gloria went into her Altaria form and flew over to collect the Power Star. "Got ya!" She smiled, but suddenly a dark portal opened up as a Grapple Beam grabbed a hold of her and pulled her in. "ACK!"
"Gloria?!" Marnie yelled, having seen what happened. "GLORIA!"
In the dark portal…
"Mmmph!" Gloria fell flat on her face in a dark Phazon-like planet. "Nnnngh, where the hell am I…?"
"I've been watching you for a while now."
Gloria turned her head to see Dark Samus approach her. "Normally, people who use Power Ups take on a new form, and yet, with you… you turn into a humanoid version of a Pokemon."
"So?" Gloria shrugged.
"You take on many forms. Beedrill, Unovan/Galarian Darmanitan, Gigalith, Altaria, Ampharos, Latias and many more. It's impressive that once you use it, you can go into this form anytime you desire… it's as if you had unlocked something in your DNA that lets you transform into a Pokemon/Human hybrid. A special genetic mutation that had unlocked once you ate a power up for the first time? It's quite a mystery."
"Who fockin' cares how it works in my body? I turn into a Pokemon, it's awesome, I kick arse… what is the point of kidnappin' me?"
"Because I'm curious…" Dark Samus chuckled darkly as she pulled out a Poison Mushroom. "Will you die while eating this or will you become a Pokemon as well? I'm willing to test that out."
Gloria's face darkened. "So you kidnapped me out of morbid curiosity…"
"Precisely."
Gloria scowled before letting out a chuckle. "Let me ask you something. Your Phazon… it's known as the great poison, right?"
"What about it?"
Gloria reached into her bag, pulling out a Boomerang Flower. "Oh… no reason." She smirked as she crushed the flower in her hand.
BGM: Battle! Gym Leader (Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl)
A skull of a Marowak appeared on top of Gloria's head, morphing over her scalp as the eye holes appeared over her eyes. Her clothing changed into a black crop top and short shorts. She reached into her bag and pulled out her steel pipe, which formed into a giant bone with flames shooting out at both ends.
"Hmph. Like that should impress me? The form you took is merely Fire/Gho-" Gloria unleashed a fiery Bonemerang, striking Dark Samus.
"Bitch, you talk too much."
Poison Mushroom Enthusiast - Dark Samus
Dark Samus charged up her arm cannon. "Very well." She said as she fired a charged shot but Gloria twirled her bone around, flames shooting out and deflecting the Phazon shot as Gloria twirled the bone in the air as will o wisps came flying out. Dark Samus would dodge these and fired a few missiles at her but Gloria would jump into the air and came down with a Bone Rush, gracefully striking Dark Samus with her bone before kicking her away.
Dark Samus would rush toward Gloria, activating the Shinespark and lunged at her, but she jumped out of the way and lunged at Dark Samus, her bone turning into shadow as she threw a Shadow Bone at her before grabbing her arm cannon and yanked her toward her as she shoved her bone into Dark Samus's throat before kicking her away.
"Ya know… why should I be locked to four Pokemon moves?" Gloria smirked, cloaking herself in fire as she rushed over and Flare Blitz'd into her, striking Dark Samus as she quickly recovered and grabbed Gloria with her Grapple Beam, but Gloria grabbed a hold of it and yanked her to her as she threw down some point blank Will o Wisps, and threw down a Bonemerang for good measure.
"Gloria!"
"Huh?" Gloria turned her head to see Marnie coming in. "Oh hey Marn! I'm just busy takin' out the trash!" She smiled.
End BGM
"Enough!" Dark Samus exclaimed as Phazon Tentacles grabbed a hold of Gloria.
"Mmmph!" She grunted as Dark Samus yanked the bone away and tossed it to the side right as Luigi, Neo, Hop and Bede came in.
"Marnie… you're just in time." Dark Samus chuckled as she brought out the Poison Mushroom, and then with a snap of the fingers, phazon tentacles wrapped around the others as well. "No interferences." She turned back to Gloria. "Now, shall we test this theory?"
Gloria growled. "You're not getting that in me!"
"You're right, I'm not." Dark Samus tossed the Poison Mushroom in the air. "But this will." A Phazon Tentacle grabbed it as another one forced her mouth open and shoved it into her mouth.
"MMPH?!" Gloria grunted, feeling an intense burning sensation in her throat as she fell on her knees, coughing violently and breathing violently.
"GLORIA!" Marnie shrieked as she used Farore's Wind to teleport out of her prison and was right by Gloria's side. "Gl-Gloria…!" She would immediately start to cradle her. "No… no no no no…. Stay with me! GLORIA!" She yelled as the others managed to break free of their phazon prisons and gathered around her.
"M-Marnie…" Gloria said with labored breaths.
Tears immediately swelled in her cybernetic eyes. "No… no… not you too…" Marnie whispered.
"Come on, woman… fight it!" Hop exclaimed as he reached into his bag. "Come on, Pecha Berry… Come on! Where is it!"
"Fight it… come on, you're a damn fighter!" Bede called to her. "Fight it!"
Gloria reached out to them… before her arm fell limp. Luigi immediately sprang into action as his hands immediately crackled with electricity. "Clear!" He said as he tried to revive Gloria by shocking her as massive tears rolled down Marnie's cheeks. A few tears fell off of Hop's, Bede punched the ground in frustration while Neo hugged Marnie tightly, the latter loudly crying into her shoulders.
"Hmm, I suppose the Poison Mushroom was the exception." Dark Samus shrugged it off. "Let this be a lesson to you, Marnie. You defect from the Space Pirates, all your friends will perish. I thought by corrupting your brother and that obnoxious team would strike a nerve, but you were willing to go as far to allowing your friend to die. Because of you, she's dead."
Marnie pulled away from Neo, she slowly stood up and glared hard at Dark Samus. "You… you took her from us… you took her from ME." She gave her a harsh glare. "You wanted a war so badly, well here it is… you got one."
"I have won in the end. Not only has the Mushroom Kingdom and Remnant has fallen to Phazon, but so has every world in this universe! Even if you defeat me, my Phazon will live on. I have won!"
"Your overconfidence sickens me." Bede said. "I'm not surprised you would go as far as to destroying our world, but hearing it come out of your mouth is disgusting."
Hop reached for Gloria's steel pipe, as it had changed back. "Mate… you just pissed off the wrong trainers."
Angry tears still fell from Marnie's eyes as a hand touched her shoulder as she looked to see Neo looking at her.
["We'll take her down… for Gloria's sake."]
Luigi activated his Thunder Hand, getting in a battle stance. "Let's-a go."
BGM: One Thing (RWBY)
Marnie took one last look at Gloria as she wiped her eyes. "…For Gloria." She whispered, summoning her Punk Claws.
"You still wish to defy me? Very well… then I'll just take everything from you. Maybe then I'll get you to behave."
Dark Samus would immediately leap into the air and fired a spread shot of Phazon bullets at them but they had dodged as Luigi jumped over and hammered Dark Samus, but she would grab a hold of the hammer, only to get hit in the ace with a point blank umbrella shot to the head.
Marnie immediately slashed through Dark Samus, then she threw fireballs at her as Dark Samus batted away Luigi and Neo as she launched directly at Marnie, reaching to grab her but Marnie would immediately flip kick to knock her back before teleporting to her and viciously slashing her.
Dark Samus would throw down some Phazon spikes, but they avoided the spikes as Bede Firaga Punched her and sent her sliding as Hop swung the metal pipe at her, but Dark Samus grabbed a hold of him and chuckled devilishly, but Hop would call out Zamazenta as he bashed into her and then Hop slammed the pipe into her head.
Dark Samus quickly fired multiple charged shots at them but Marnie would reflect them back with her Nayru's Love as fire wrapped around her claws, then fire burst out of her feet to launch herself and viciously slashed through her, then her metal hand went inside of her arm and she blasted out sharp icicles that impaled Dark Samus before blasting her with electricity, where Luigi would help her out by firing lightning bolts.
Phazon Tentacles came out and impaled Neo, but she shattered as the real Neo stabbed Dark Samus a few times with her umbrella before opening fire, then Kacrackle Punching her in the face.
Dark Samus dropped a Phazon Bomb, only for Hop to kick it away as it exploded on Dark Samus's face, and then Luigi sucked up Dark Samus with his Poltergust, then threw her down and butt smashed her before throwing in a Super Jump Punch that sent her flying, then Marnie teleported and slashed her down, then teleported on top of her and viciously tore into her before jumping off with explosive force.
"Llrroooaaaard!" A voice cried as Zacian slashed through Dark Samus, before a poisonous substance struck her. Everyone would turn to see Gloria standing there, looking entirely different.
Her eyes were yellow, her skin was a dark red as her clothing had blue and red attire where two red antenna poked out of her head. Her shoes were spiked boots.
"Gloria...?!" Marnie exclaimed in shock.
"Scolaaapeeeede!" Gloria cried, charging into Dark Samus head on with Double Edge... and then relentlessly impaled her with Megahorn, then she grabbed Dark Samus and threw her to the side where Zacian jumped over and slashed through her with Behemoth Blade.
End BGM
"She... turned into a Scolipede?!" Hop said in surprise.
"Go on, poison me with that focking Poison Mushroom again, I FOCKING DARE YE!"
"I... I thought you were dead!" Marnie exclaimed, tears swelling in her eyes.
"My body was fightin' it... but it sure felt like I died though." Gloria responded. "It only just knocked me out, where I thought I was out for good myself."
"So it did turn you into a Pokemon..." Dark Samus slowly rose. "It just took longer than normal. Now, where was I? Oh, right, I was going to turn everyone into Phazo-"
An electrical blast struck Dark Samus from behind. "You have some nerve doing what ya did!" A voice said angrily as Dark Samus turned to Ibuki who strummed her guitar with malicious intent.
"You have to be more specific."
"Oh, you know what she means! You corrupted Doom Guy-chan!"
"I would ask how you know, but I'm not questioning it." Dark Samus said before getting an idea. "You know, you would be perfect for our army." Phazon Tentacles grabbed a hold of Ibuki and shoved her toward her, then grabbed a hold of Ibuki's neck and started to infect Ibuki.
...However, as she was finished, Ibuki remained the same. "...What?" Dark Samus wondered as she tried to do it again, but to no avail. "That's odd, this normally works."
"What's wrong, performance issues?" Ibuki mocked and then pried herself off. "Can't infect what's not inside!" She pounded the side of her head with a grin. "Nothin' in her noggin! Anyway, where was she..."
"This doesn't make sense! You should be infected with Phazon!"
"And YOU should be in a box floating down the river, so Ibuki guesses we're both at a loss... grandma." She smirked.
"GRANDMA?!" Dark Samus roared.
"You know, Ibuki wants to tap dance on your face, but tap dancing on your performance issues-" She switched her regular shoes to tap dancing shoes and proceeded to tap dance around her. "-is waaaaay better. Besides, once we get Doom Guy-chan on our side, and she knows we will, both of us will salsa dance on your damn grave!"
Dark Samus aimed her arm cannon at Ibuki, but she grabbed a hold of it and pointed it at Dark Samus, blasting herself with Super Phazon Missiles. "AND WE'RE GONNA ENJOY IT!"
"Rrrgh! You think you have the last laugh?! I will enjoy destroying you!"
"And we'll enjoy kicking your ass!" Ibuki shot back, slamming her guitar into her gut and strummed electrical blasts. "You only live because you have villainous plot armor, but Ibuki will definitely revoke it when the time comes... she could do it right now but Nan-chan won't let her!"
(Hey, don't drag me into this!)
"Hmhmhmhm, I will destroy all of you with Phazon when the time comes." Dark Samus said, disappearing into a dark portal.
"Nnngh..." Gloria grunted, turning back to normal as she collapsed, but Hop caught her. "D-damn..."
"Easy there... we got ya."
"We ought to put her in the infirmary for a while. She's probably exhausted after her body fought off the poison." Palutena suggested as they were all taken away to the Observatory.
At the Observatory...
"You're looking chipper!" Chelsea smiled, hugging Kokoro.
"Yup! You can thank Ruby for that!" Kokoro giggled.
"I really gotta thank her for that." Chelsea said, then Kokoro walked off, however Chelsea would notice her hair had some light touches of dirty blonde at the tips of her hair.
"...Huh? Huh, that's new." Chelsea mumbled.
With GLaDOS and Futaba...
"Add the finishing touches and... we're good!" Futaba smiled as GLaDOS awakened.
"I feel... different. Why do I feel different?"
Futaba gave her a mirror. "Take a look!" She said as GLaDOS would see that she had a new body similar to Bastion's appearance in Overwatch 2, except the bodu had her head, it's in her colors and there was an Aperture hat on her.
"...Hey, I look pretty good. Though I thought you were going to make me more humanoid."
"Eh, that's for when we get back to Remnant. We don't have all the resources here, so we had to transform your body into something else for the time being."
"I see. I do question the hat though."
"I felt cute." Futaba giggled. "Anyway, with the help of Palutena, we inserted the Gels inside of your gun, plus actual bullets from the Turrets. Speaking of Turrets, you can actually summon them!"
"Really?" GLaDOS would summon one.
"Hello!" The Turret said... and then suddenly, Nyx grabbed the Turret. "Oooh, who are you?"
"I think I'm gonna upgrade my Turrets to you guys!" Nyx walked off with a hum.
"Weee, I'm flying!"
"Didn't think I'd inspire her. Oh well!" Futaba shrugged. "Anywho, you can self repair, you can also go into tank mode and shoot anything you want. Cubes, Gels, Turrets... Cave Johnson in case if he ever annoys you."
"You had me at that."
"You can fire lasers, I'm still trying to figure out a way to incorporate the Excursion Funnels, oh! You have Aerial Faith Plates in your feet to give you jumping power!"
"I like the sound of that."
"Now, there's one more thing I want to download inside of you." Futaba said, bringing GLaDOS to her laptop and plugged herself in. "Downloading begins... now!" She pressed the button, only to see an error message pop up on the screen. "What?!"
"Hmm?"
"What do you mean internet connection required?! Sure, people can somehow have cell service up here, but heaven forbid we need WiFi to download something! Uuuugh! Fine, we'll do that in Remnant."
"...Do I even want to know what you were going to put inside of me?"
"It's a secret to everybody."
"...Oh, joy." GLaDOS mumbled as she would see Peach walking by with cake. "Oh?"
"I've heard you haven't had cake in a long time, so I thought I'd bake one for you!" Peach smiled, pushing the cart toward Chell.
Chell jawdropped at the size of the cake as Samus smiled and elbowed her. "All for you." Samus chuckled as Chell drooled at the sight of it.
"Hey Sammy!" Phosphora walked over and tossed the item to Samus. "This was inside Draygon."
"Draygon? That thing came back alive too?"
"Not for long, I spent five seconds with him and he died easily." Phosphora said, causing Samus to sweatdrop.
"And you didn't invite me to the party..." She chuckled before activating her suit to absorb the item.
Space Jump back online!
"I'll take that." Samus smirked as she dismissed her suit as Chell tried to figure out what slice to eat first, and then GLaDOS came running over.
SPLAT!
"ACK!" Peach shrieked as cake went everywhere, some of it splattering on Cave's eye.
"Ack! I've gone blind! BLIND, I TELL YOU!"
"My cake!" Peach yelled before glaring at GLaDOS.
"What? I had to make sure it wasn't a lie." GLaDOS said with a shrug.
Chell grabbed a slice that somehow wasn't splattered everywhere as she happily took a bite. Her eyes sparkled and happily ate it up.
"At least she loves it." Samus chuckled.
"My my! Are we having cake without moi?"
Pit let out a groan. "Oh great..." He mumbled as Hades showed up.
"Hello do-gooders! How are we this fine pleasant war?"
"What do you want, Hades?" Viridi rolled her eyes.
"Simple, just wanted to come crash for a while."
"...The Underworld got infected too, didn't it?" Palutena guessed.
"Yes! It ruined my good furniture too." Hades mumbled.
"Oh no... anyway." Dark Pit rolled his eyes.
"By the way! While you guys were busy scouring around a scientific planet, I was busy doing a minion exchange with my good pal Hades-"
"The one with blue fire for hair?" Sora asked.
"No, the one who's a jerk."
"Oh."
"Anywho, I gave him my Thanatos for a while and I... got his Thanatos! Say hello, Thanny-Poo!" Hades side stepped to reveal Hades Thanatos.
"Hello... and don't call me Thanny-Poo."
"Isn't he great?' Hades smiled. "I'm sure my Thanatos is doing well!"
Meanwhile, in the Hades universe...
"I did not agree to this." Hades growled as Thanatos was jumping all over the place.
"Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!"
"He's certainly lively, isn't he! I like him!" Hypnos said.
"I don't. I hate him already." Hades let out a grumble. "I will get that Hades back for this."
Back with the others...
"I cant believe you did that." Palutena said, facepalming. "Actually, I'm somehow not surprised you would pull something like that."
"I'm surprised I didn't do it sooner!" Hades grinned before pounding his fist into his palm. "So! When do we start giving them hell?"
Did ya have to drag me into it?
Ibuki: Yes! *innocent smile*
*sweatdrops*
