"Hey, I found another one over here!" General Guy waved them down as Terra came over and lifted up some rubble, then dug out Zinnia.
"You alright?" Terra asked as Hau and Lillie pulled her out.
"Yeah… I should be fine." Zinnia said as she got up. "Mmph… definitely gonna feel that for a while." She said as she felt a nuzzle as she looked up to see Rayquaza. "Heh, worried about me, were you?" She chuckled as she looked up to see several Lumas flying around wearing hard hats, even Polari and Lubba were wearing them.
"Is this a brick from the Kitchen dome or is this from the library…? I'm confused." A Luma said.
"Hey, we got another survivor over here!" Another Luma said as they pulled out Daisy from the rubble, with the help of Luigi and Peach.
"Blegh… that's the last time I ever want to be thrown about…" Daisy rubbed her head as she looked up to see some Lumas repairing the Fortress of Doom and Hat Kid's ship.
"Wait, wasn't there a Lapras in that ship?" Gloria asked.
"Yeah, got it from Starshine Beach." Hat Kid responded. "Messed up with Phazon, we cured it right up and I put it in that swimming pool I installed recently. She's totally chill with it." She giggled.
"Oh right, there was a Lapras there…" She rubbed her head. "Forgot about that, what with the whole "kidnappin' me out of curiosity" bit."
"That happened? I wondered what happened to you…"
A heavenly light came down as Phosphora walked out with the Power Star. "Got the Power Star! Slimy Spring's seen better days though." She said as she saw Blake hugging her parents.
"Nora, you sure you're feeling fine?" Ren asked.
"Yeah… I'm okay. That was quite a rush! I could feel the phazon coursing through me… I felt incredily powerful! Like, holy crap, it felt like I was on a sugar rush but it was a far deadlier sugar rush! Holy crap, that was amazing!" Nora grinned. "…Sure, I'm completely exhausted and Ruby took it out of me just to be on the safe side, but… hooooly cow, that was incredible!"
Pyrrha chuckled. "Well, I guess you're not the only one who's exhausted." She said, looking over to see Chiaki resting her head on Mikan's lap, sleeping on it.
"Phantoon did knock the wind out of her." Ren said. "I suppose we all deserve a rest after that insanity."
"Agreed… heh… and to think we still have to deal with Ridley and Dark Samus." Nora said. "Hopefully that's all there is and not anyone else we have to deal with."
"Here's hoping." Ren nodded.
"So… I believe it is time." Kamek said as he had called a meeting with the Koopa Troop. "I've studied the map in this area and all that is left is the Galaxy Generator sitting dangerously close to the Event Horizon… and I have a good feeling that our king is there."
"So, you're suggesting that Lord Bowser is there waiting for us?" Captain Goomba asked.
"Yes, that is correct." Kamek nodded. "Which is why I believe the Koopa Troop should be the ones to save His Corruptedness. It's poetic, if I say so myself."
"Then that's what we'll do. All of us against Bowser. Should be simple enough." General Guy said. "…Then again, this is his Nastiness we're talking here."
"Indeed. No doubt in my mind he'll plow right through us." Kamek said. "But we should give it our all no matter what. I advise you all prepare for the battle ahead. It's going to be a bumpy one."
End BGM
With a nod, all of them went off to prepare for the battle ahead as Kamek walked over and stared at the supermassive black hole in the distance. Marnie would soon accompany him. "Of all my years of serving the Koopa King, never once did I think I would actually save him or "kidnap" him, as Nora puts it."
"Yeah, well… we've been through stranger ordeals."
"We have." Kamek nodded. "I consider this my redemption…"
"Hmm?"
"I had sensed trouble coming and I saw Ridley and Dark Samus approaching the castle. I tried to warn His Nastiness but unfortunately, considering what I have learned about those two, I unfortunately chose flight over fight. I fled to safety… and that's when I heard Lord Bowser's roaring. Had I chosen to protect His Nastiness… I probably would've been corrupted but I would've gone down protecting him. I feel as if his corruption is on me."
"Kamek…" Marnie knelt down, putting her metal arm on her shoulder. "This isn't your fault. Considering who Ridley is and the stuff we've seen what this phazon can do… I would've done the same thing. Hell, we were all caught unaware. I was out at the lava pools with Neo and Bowsette when it happened. We shouldn't blame ourselves. No one saw it coming."
"You're right… of course I shouldn't blame myself over this. If anything, we should blame the Hands for this." Kamek said. "…Mmph, pinning the blame on others is so below me."
Marnie chuckled. "Don't worry about it. We'll destroy these bastards." She said as she looked off into the distance.
"I can tell you're scared."
"Well, duh! We're going straight into the belly of the beast." Marnie chuckled. "But you know what? I can get past that… because our king needs saved."
"You're darn right he does." Kamek chuckled.
"You mind if I tag along?" A voice asked as the two turned to see Umber approaching.
"Umber?" Marnie said in surprise. "You want in this too?"
"Well, hey, I helped you guys out on your side of the blorb crisis, right? I think you could use the extra power." Umber said. "And… besides, Junior asked me if I wanted to tag along. Just can't help but admire the guy."
Marnie snickered. "Let me guess, he still thinks you're part of his squad." She teased.
Umber snickered. "I even teased him about it."
Kamek chuckled. "Oh Lord Junior, what are we going to do with you." He said.
One regrouping later…
"Alright, here we go." Kamek said. "We have what we need. So let's-"
"Hey!" Sora approached. "Mind if I tag along too?"
"Huh?" Roy looked at him. "Why the heck do you wanna tag along?"
"Well, think about it. I helped Bowser out during the blorb crisis." Sora pointed out. "If anything, I should tag along to help the big guy out too. And if Donald, Goofy, Asahina, Kyoko, Terry and my sisters were here too, they'd more than likely do the same too."
"Sisters?" Larry whispered.
"I think he means the Blades." Ludwig said.
"Aww, you three always looked like lost siblings." Bowsette giggled.
"I always thought that was an inside joke…" Wendy admitted.
"MORTON THINKS ITS ADORABLE."
Marnie chuckled. "Well, you're not wrong there."
Sora grinned, putting his hands behind his head. "Yup! I'm going with ya no matter what."
Kamek chuckled. "Well, you helped His Nastiness out… so why not." He said with a nod as he turned to the Koopa Troop where Umber fist bumped Sora.
"Sora!" A voice called to him as he turned to see Kairi approaching him. "You're heading off to fight Bowser… near that black hole?"
"Yeah… I feel like I should, ya know?"
Kairi chuckled. "Yeah, you always were one to help others out." She said before blushing. "Sora, before you go, there's two things I need to tell you."
"What is i-" Kairi grabbed his collar and kissed him. "Mmph!"
"Well… it's about time." Roxas said with Namine giggling.
"Typical. He lets the girl kiss him first." Riku chuckled, watching Sora wrap his arms around Kairi before she pulled away.
"Come back home safely, alright… you lovable dork?"
"Uh… yeah…" Sora blushed. "Wh-what was the second part?"
"That was the second part." Kairi winked. "First part was telling you "good luck"."
"Uh… r-right, I'll just… uh… go save Bowser then." He said, where Kairi nodded and then walked off. "Psst, Kairi!"
"Hmm?"
"Ramen at Min Min's later?"
Kairi smiled. "Sure, I'd love some!"
Sora gave her a thumbs up. "Got it!" He said as he turned around and then got playfully punched in the arm by Roy.
"Lover boy." He smirked.
"Now then-" Kamek cleared his throat, catching their attention. "Is everyone ready to save Lord Bowser?"
"As ready as we'll ever be." Roman said.
"Good, now as we all know, Lord Bowser is strong and will most likely pummel us into dust, but we are the Koopa Troop! We're a lot more durable than we look-"
BGM: Magnus's Theme (Kid Icarus: Uprising) (Start at 1:30)
"So I say… no matter what he throws at us, we fight on no matter what! We may not survive this… in fact, we may be wandering into a trap, but we may as well die trying getting our king back!"
"…I liked this until you mentioned we might freakin' die." Captain Goomba said.
"Shush! Don't ruin the moment." Captain Shy Guy said.
"Might as well go out swinging." Piers said with Marnie nodding.
"Let's do this. For His Nastiness!" Kamek raised his wand up.
"For Bowser!" Everyone cheered.
"Rosalina, fire it up!" Kamek requested as Rosalina summoned a Launch Star.
"Good luck, everyone." Rosalina said.
"Thank you. Now let's move." Kamek responded as one by one, they went into the Launch Star and flew away.

BGM: Bowser's Galaxy Generator (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Everyone landed on the ground. "Alright, here we go." Kamek said.
"Not sure why you had to drag me all the way out here, but it does get me to stretch my legs for a bit." Cinder said.
"Onward to Lord Bowser!" General Guy exclaimed as they all started running as a Luma came flying over and transformed into a Launch Star where they launched away to the Platform Planet where a few Zebesians waited for them, only to get slashed down by Captain Slime and Sora, knocking them into the pools of phazon, then Rei would look down and then whistled as several Boos appeared and carried those who couldn't fly down to the platform below near the Phazon falls, then Serpentina dug a hole for them to get through as they would fall and land on the Banzai Bill planet.
A Phazon infused Banzai Bill shot at them, but Umber would throw in a few mirrors from his mirror staff, reflecting the Banzai Bill as it went back into its blaster and exploded, destroying the blaster as they would see the Launch Star up ahead. "Oh, nice shortcut!" Sora said.
"Good, we don't have to dig through the Phazon." Piers chuckled as they ran ahead and jumped through the Phazon before they hit the Launch Star and flew off to the Phazon Castle planet.
Marnie would spot a Cloud Flower as she grabbed a hold of it and stuffed it in her metal arm, where her metal arm turned white as she shot out a few cloud platforms over the Phazon. "Alright, move!" She said as they would hop onto the cloud platforms as she would make a few more, making sure the Goomba Squad were able to get through as they started climbing up the walls where Phazon infused Bullet Bills shot at them, but Neo, Roman and General Guy shot at the Bullet Bills to destroy them as they would make their way to the top to the Launch Star.
"I'll be right behind you." Marnie said as one by one, everyone got into the Launch Star.
"Ya know, for a kid, you sure know what you're doing." Cinder said.
"Whatever, I'm not doing this for you." Marnie said coldly.
"Hmm, I had a feeling… Marine, was it?"
"Marnie."
"Mmm, close enough." Cinder went into the Launch Star and flew off as Marnie helped up the Goomba Squad as they would go through the Launch Star together and landed on the bridge planet, all of them running across as they got into a Sling Star at the end to the Phazonic Magma Planet.
The moment they landed, Marnie would teleport herself and Piers over to the other side as Marnie sweep kicked the Zebesians while Piers strummed his guitar as electricity struck the Kihunters as the both of them kicked them into the phazon, as Kamek would then teleport the others as a wall opened up as they would hurry through it before the walls closed as they jumped off and landed on the snake blocks, where they would traverse through them… before Kamek decided to teleport them to the Large Door Planet since a lot of Phazon-maarghs were interested in devouring them.
"Right behind this locked door… I believe our king is waiting for us. Waiting to slaughter us…" Kamek turned to them. "You all ready?"
"As ready as we'll ever be." Bowsette said confidently.
"Then let's go." Kamek said as Cinder flew up and busted the locks with her Fall Maiden powers, and then they all walked in.
End BGM
As they walked into the throne room, they would see Bowser sitting on the throne. "Oh Arceus… what have they done to him?" Marnie whispered in horror as every inch of the Koopa King, from head to toe, was now covered in Phazon.
BGM: Bowser Appears (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Bro…" Bowsette whispered.
"Dad!" Junior exclaimed.
"Hmhmhmhm… so, the traitors dared set foot in my throne room." Bowser said as he jumped off of his throne. "You are bold to come face me. You had this wonderful Phazon with you, most of you had it, some of you weren't ready for it… but in the end, you betrayed the Phazon. You would dare try to stop me from conquering the universe?"
"Lord Bowser! Listen to yourself! The Phazon went to your head! You need to be cured!" Captain Goomba said.
"Yeah dude! This isn't like ya!" Captain Koopa said.
"Silence traitors! I'll kill you all and revive you with this awesome power of Phazon! We will be one just like yours truly!"
"Yeah, I've had my fair share of phazon. Not a huge fan." Umber said.
"It's time we put an end to this Bowser!" Sora summoned his Keyblade. "It's time we get you out of your Phazon once and for all!"
End BGM
"And I say it's time that I throw you into the Phazon pits dead or alive!" Bowser declared, flashing his talons as everyone got in their battle stances.
BGM: Final Bowser Battle/Fated Battle - Super Mario Galaxy/Super Mario Galaxy 2 (GaMetal)
"Here goes…" Kamek said.
"Bwahahahaha… SHOWTIME!"
Phazonic Showdown - Phazon Bowser
Bowser ran to the group as Bowsette jumped in as the two threw a punch, both of them hitting each other in the cheek as they both slid as both of them breathed fire, while Roy and Morton flanked Bowser as the two of them ran up and slugged him, but Bowser jumped up in the air and avoided them, then he jumped down and created a shockwave that knocked everyone back as he then threw phazon fireballs at the group.
Sora would quickly AirStep to him and front flipped, landing behind him and slashing him away but Bowser would go into his shell and fired Phazon spikes at everyone. They would dodge as Iggy's Blasta and Zappakoopas would shoot out missiles and lasers at him, striking the Koopa King as Umber threw plasma bolts at him.
Kamek flew up in the air and fired magic at him while General Guy had summoned his tank and fired Bob-ombs and Bullet Bills at him, then Captain Boo floated above Bowser as Captain Goomba jumped down and headbonked him from above. Bowser breathed Phazon fire at Kamek and General Guy but Kamek teleported away while General Guy moved his tank away.
Neo and Roman charged at him, the latter shooting him with his cane while Neo shot him with her Shotgunbrella. Bowser deflected these as he punched the two, but they both shattered as Marnie came in and slashed him from the side and Piers swung his guitar down before strumming it and produced an electric field to stun him, and then Junior came driving in with his Clown Car and fired a cannonball as Lemmy threw one of his balls as well, which was filled with lead and smacked Bowser in the head.
Bowser shook it off, dodging will o wisps from Rei as he grabbed a hold of Roman by the throat. "You're weak." He taunted.
"Heh, true… but that doesn't mean I can't do this." Roman smirked, aiming his cane to his mouth, held the trigger as his cane lit up… and shot out a miniature Bob-omb that exploded in Bowser's mouth that made him drop him. "Man, I've been meaning to do that for a long time… was saving that for the Rose though." He chuckled as he blocked a swipe with his cane as Neo came in and thrusted her umbrella into Bowser a few times before jumping back and shooting him, then she threw down Kacrackle on him.
Bowser smirked, spinning around as shockwaves shot out of his tail, forcing the Koopalings to dodge as Marnie would use Nayru's Love, Umber would reflect them with his mirrors and Sora using Reflega. Bowser would then jump up in the air, making a huge ball of phazon. "You all put up a good fight, BUT THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS!"
However, a massive stream of fire struck the ball of phazon, causing it to explode. "What?!" He growled as Cinder came flying up.
"Missed me?" Cinder smirked as she slashed him down and then when Bowser landed on his feet, he would punch Cinder, but she would weave her head to the side. "I have to say, you're more predictable when you're covered in this stuff!" She taunted as Bowser kept swiping at her, only for Cinder to counter strike him and then her fist burst into flame, then Bowsette jumped in and together, the two went for a fiery uppercut to knock Bowser on his shell, as Morton and Serpentina would ground pound him on the stomach right after and then Wendy threw rings at him to hold him in place.
"Quick, before he breaks them off!" Wendy yelled.
"I got this!" Junior pulled out an Ultra Ball. "Kaiju, knock papa out!" He ordered as Kaiju came out and looked directly at Bowser's phazonic state. With a nod, the Tyranitar opened his mouth and unleashed Hyper Beam on him right as he broke through the rings… and then got hit by the Hyper Beam.
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Bowser roared before falling to the ground in defeat.
End BGM
"Woo! We won!" Junior exclaimed as mostly everyone cheered… everyone except for Kamek, Marnie, Piers, Sora and Umber.
"…That felt too easy." Marnie said.
"Indeed. I know we outnumbered him but it was like he was wanting to lose." Kamek mused. "But why… it couldn't have been because the phazon had made him predictably easy… could it?"
"Say, does the big guy have anything horrid under his belt?" Umber asked.
Sora folded his arms, closing his eyes before he pounded his fist into his palm. "Ah! There was that Fury mode that he tapped into."
"Fury?" Kamek asked.
"Yeah, Ruby told me that she and the Mario Bros unwittingly unlocked that… for… him… after… he… got… cru-… oh boy…"
Piers readied his guitar. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"That we're screwed?" Umber spoke up.
"That was just a warm up for him."
"Guys, I wouldn't celebrate just yet!" Kamek said and right on cue, everything started to rumble as they would see the blue phazon slowly turning into a dark purple, Bowser's spikes turned sharp as fire came out of the corners of his mouth as he grew a bit bigger.
"…I think I'm gonna need a bigger turnip." Captain Shy Guy said.
BGM: Final Boss Phase 2 - NSMBW (Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games)
He opened his eyes and let out a giant roar that sent mostly everyone flying. Cinder stabbed the ground and grabbed the first person she could snag, which was none other than Umber.
"FOOOOOOOLS! I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!"
"Holy shit…" Umber whimpered.
"Have faith, kid… it'll be a bit before everyone returns." Cinder said as fire shot out of the corners of her eyes. "Think you can handle this?"
"I'll try."
"Just don't get in my way." Cinder said before smirking. "Besides, you know how the saying goes… the bigger they are…" She conjured up two fire swords as Umber readied his mirror staff as Bowser roared at them.
Phazonic Fury - Phazon Fury Bowser
Bowser snarled, going into his shell and spinning around as Phazon Tornadoes came flying out. Cinder wrapped herself in fire herself and spun around to create a fire tornado of her own, colliding into the tornadoes and burning up the other tornadoes as Bowser punched Cinder, but she flew up to avoid the attack as she rained down fireballs at him.
Bowser breathed fire at Umber, but he conjured up large mirrors to send it back and struck Bowser where Cinder would fly over and punched him in the face before flying back to avoid spikes being shot out at the two. Umber conjured up plasma bolts and shot them at Bowser.
"Hmm…" Cinder conjured up a large fire ball and flew next to Umber. "Okay, I got an idea."
"Okay, shoot."
"We combine our powers. Your electricity and my fire… we should be able to combine it and knock this big guy down."
"You sure that's a good idea?"
"It's worth a shot." Cinder smirked. "You with me, whatever-your-name is?"
"Yes, and it's Umber."
"I'll try to remember that." Cinder said as Bowser burst through the flames and stomped on the ground to create a shockwave that made the castle rumble and knocked the two down, but Cinder sprang back up. "Hang on!" She grabbed Umber and flew off as Bowser punched them, but he would hit a wall instead, causing the room to shake and set some debris crashing down.
Cinder landed on a platform as she threw a stream of fire at Bowser as Umber would throw in his plasma at Cinder's fire, where it crackled with electricity as it struck Bowser and electrocuted him. "Perfect." She smirked as the two hopped off as Bowser swiped at them, then Bowser conjured up spike balls and threw them down, and once they hit the ground, they exploded and sent phazon and spikes everywhere, but Umber would throw in mirrors to reflect them away.
Cinder flew up in the air and conjured up a large fireball, then Umber threw his own plasma at it where Cinder threw the Plasma Fireball down as Bowser breathed fire at it to stall it, but Umber would see a spike ball that hadn't gone off yet. He had an idea as he called out Necrozma, where he picked it up as he flew up and then dropped the spikeball on Bowser, where he let out a pained roar… and then the gigantic plasma fireball struck Bowser.
"How about that." Cinder smirked as she flew at him, throwing fireballs at him as she would flank him on the right, but Bowser would smack her and sent her crashing to a wall.
"Oh!" Umber winced as he ran over to her. "You okay?" He asked as he helped her up.
"Mmph… yeah." Cinder shook it off before smirking. "Good, at least he's making it challenging." She would make a glass bow as Umber would fire Plasma at it, then Cinder added some fire to the arrow as she fired it at Bowser, but he grabbed it and then crushed it with his hand before he jumped over and slashed at the two, where they would shatter upon impact, which was enough to confuse the corrupted Koopa King as Cinder and Umber were behind him.
"Mirror clones. Interesting." Cinder chuckled. "Think you could-"
"Already on it." Umber smirked, taking her arm and waved his mirror staff as Bowser turned around and found himself surrounded by Umber and Cinder clones. He would roar and get into his shell, spinning around and creating phazon tornadoes to try and hurt them all… while the real two were up on a ledge.
"Let's take him out in style." Cinder smirked as she made another arrow as Umber added his plasma and then Cinder added fire and shot the arrow, but then she snapped her fingers as the fire grew into a gigantic plasma phoenix as Bowser turned around, only to get struck by it in the head as he roared in pain, then Cinder raised her arm up as plumes of fire rose up from the ground and consumed Bowser.
"Here, take the shot." Cinder handed the bow to Umber.
"Wha?! …Okay…" Umber aimed at Bowser, converting the entire bow into plasma as he fired an arrow which resulted in a massive lightning bolt that struck Bowser and coursed through his entire body… and he fell to the ground in defeat, shrinking back down to normal size.
End BGM
Cinder whistled. "I'll be honest… I didn't think you'd make the shot first try."
"Well, Veron taught me a few things."
"Veron?"
"My Decidueye."
"…Not sure what that is, but okay." She nodded as Umber raised his hand. "Mmph! What are you-"
"Up top!" Umber grinned as Cinder stared blankly at him. "…What? Don't leave me hanging!"
"You're… not going to slap me?"
"You've never heard of a high five?"
Cinder tilted her head. "I… what's a…?"
"You've never received a high five before… okay, well, it's very simple." He gently grabbed Cinder's arm and raised it up. "And then you-" Umber slapped the palm of her hand. "Simple as that!"
Cinder looked at her hand. "Oh… is that what those are called? I'll be honest… no one really gave me one. Not even my only friend back in Atlas."
"Really?"
"Considering where I came from, I thought he was just going to slap me after training as if I did something wrong."
Way in the past…
"That's my girl." Rhodes said as he raised his hand up.
"Mmph!" Cinder shrinked back. "Wh-what did I do wrong?"
"Huh? Oh, you did nothing wrong. I was just-… mmm, maybe later." He chuckled, putting his hand down.
In the present…
"Huh…" Cinder stared at her hand. "So that's how it feels…"
They would hear heavy footsteps approaching as they would see the rest of the Koopa Troop running in. "What the… did we miss the action?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, Cinder and I kicked this guy's scaly butt!"
"Eh, it was nothing to it." Cinder shrugged.
"Knew I made the right call to bring you along!" Junior grinned.
"You guys aren't too hurt?" Bowsette asked.
"We're fine." Cinder said and turned to the KO'd Bowser. "Now then, let's get out of here before-"
Suddenly, the whole castle started to shake violently.
BGM: The Big Staircase (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Wa-waaaaah! What the heck is going on?!" Larry yelped.
"This can't be good." Ludwig grimaced.
With the Space Pirates…
"Thrusters activated. The castle is moving to the Event Horizon."
"Hmhmhmhmhm… I have you right where I want you." Dark Samus smirked. "Engage turbo mode. Make SURE they don't get away!"
"Right away, ma'am!"
"With the Koopa Troop out of the picture… we'll be unstoppable."
At the castle…
"I'd hate to alarm you guys, but the castle is rocketing toward the black hole as we speak!" Palutena warned them.
"WHAT?!" General Guy yelled.
"I knew we were headed into a trap." Kamek grimaced as debris started to fall.
"I'm getting you guys out of there. Hold on!"
Suddenly, a big hole in the back wall opened up to reveal the black hole, and suddenly Cinder started to get pulled into it. "Ack!" She yelped as she tried to fight back but it was no use, but suddenly her arm was grabbed by Bowsette.
"Got ya!"
"Let me go!" Cinder said. "I've got nowhere else to go so I might as well just be sucked into this thing. I'm nothing!"
"You're not nothing. You can be your own person!"
"How? I serve nobody anymore! Let… go of me!"
"I'm not letting you go."
"And why's that!"
"Because I thought we were friends, you idiot!" Bowsette said as Cinder's eyes widened.
"Friend…?" She whispered. "All this time you were concerned about me because-"
Bowsette started to get pulled away, but Rei grabbed a hold of her and then the Koopalings grabbed on to it. "Mmph…" Marnie looked on. "I still hate her but no one deserves to be sucked into that!" A clawshot came out of her metal arm and wrapped it around Kaiju's tail who had caught Junior, the latter grabbing on to Morton.
"Come on… come on…!" Sora hoped, using Magnega to try to pull everyone in.
"Got ya!" Palutena said, heavenly lights surrounding everyone and sent them back to the Observatory, along with Bowser himself.
"Engine Room's back online!" Polari exclaimed. "Get us the stars out of here!" He said as Rosalina raised her wand up, a force field surrounding the Observatory as they all flew far away where the black hole disappeared from view.
End BGM
With the Space Pirates…
"The castle is getting spaghettified!"
"Excellent!"
"…But the Koopa Troop were extracted out of the castle."
"WHAT?!" Dark Samus yelled as her eye twitched exceedingly as she would grab her hair and started to pull it. "ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! I'VE HAD IT WITH LOSING CONSTANTLY! WHAT THE EVER LOVING-"
"Calm yourself, Dark Samus." A voice said as she turned to see Ridley, now in full cybernetics and in his Meta Ridley attire. "There is no need to lose your temper over this."
"What do you know! You lose all the time!"
"I lose with dignity. Something you fail to grasp." Ridley responded.
"Grrr…"
"Patience, Dark Samus. We will win this war soon enough."
"But we have one last stronghold and they have Bowser with them now!"
"It means nothing." Ridley said. "We will pull ahead no matter what. Our goal is the same and nothing will change it. We just need to have a clear mind and a level head about it."
"…You're right. We should keep-"
"One more suggestion." Ridley turned around. "I'd watch my back if I were you… I've heard rumblings of a mutiny being developed in this ship. Best you snuff it out immediately lest we have a riot on our hands." He said and walked off.
"Mutiny…" Dark Samus snarled. "Who would DARE betray me! I WANT ANSWERS!" She yelled. "Those who betray me and Ridley will face serious consequences! I'm going to make sure this DOESN'T HAPPEN!" She yelled.
Ridley smirked. "And soon the Phazon empire crumbles… and the Space Pirates will rise from Metroid Prime's pathetic ashes."
Back at the Observatory…
"Okay, we're good." Rosalina said as the Observatory came to a stop far away from the supermassive black hole. In fact, they were sitting comfortably in World 5.
"Hiyoko-chan! Hiyoko-chan! We're nowhere near the black hole anymore!" Ibuki said, pushing her out as she looked up and saw nothing but galaxies around her. The color in her eyes returned as she started smiling.
"That's wonderful. What did I miss?" She asked as she saw Bowser sprawled out on the ground as Peach was having Aphrodite use Heal Pulse on him. "Oh!"
"I'll help you, Peach-san." Mikan said, gently applying the cure on the big guy.
Palutena chuckled. "It's a good thing I added my own magic to the cure."
"Why's that?" Sora asked.
"Well, Phazon shortens one's lifespan. My own magic negates that, so they're back to having a normal lifestyle." Palutena smiled as the phazon completely disappeared from Bowser.
"Papa?" Junior nudged him. "Papa, are you okay?" He asked as the Grand Star circled around Samus and fired a beam of light into her.
Zero Laser back online!
All systems back online!
"Now we're talking." Samus smirked as Bowser let out a groan as he sat up, rubbing the back of his head.
"What happened…?" Bowser wondered.
"He's back." Peach smiled as suddenly Aphrodite started to glow. "Oh!" She said in surprise as Aphrodite evolved into Gardevoir.
"Gardevoooir."
"Whoa…" Peach said in awe as Bowser shook his head.
"Easy big guy… take it easy." Marnie said as the Koopa Troop, Luigi, Daisy, Peach, and RWBY held him steady, as even Gloria, Hop and Bede held him steady as well.
Bowser looked around. "Where am I…? Why am I in space?"
Hop chuckled. "Well, it's complicated." He said as suddenly, everyone heard bongos.
"Does anyone hear bongos?" Viridi asked as she turned to see Hades playing them.
"MCU Chibi reference is a go!"
"…Uh oh." Viridi sweatdropped.
"I don't get it." Chiaki said.
"Remind Ibuki to have you watch the MCU when we're done." Ibuki said.
"Sweet, watch party!" Futaba fist pumped.
"Ya know, I wonder how Tony Stark's doing… I hope he's doing alright after the first Avengers…" Chiaki said aloud.
BGM: Minicar (Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1)
"Okay, so!" Hop grinned. "Everyone was having a grand ol' time at the Star Festival but you interrupted the party like "What's up, my homies!" but you turned out to be corrupted by phazon. Dark Samus came out of nowhere and hijacked Samus's powers and revived her friends to turn them against her. Then they leave and everyone's all "The drums of war are beating! We must answer the call to kick this lady's arse. So we all group up and then head into space. Nora went all drill sergeant like "Listen up, you filthy maggots, I'm in charge here and I'm gonna tell you that you are gonna be SCARED OUT OF YOUR MIND by the time I am done teaching you the ins and outs of space!" and then five seconds later, she bites it and breaks her wrist-"
"I didn't say it like that!" Nora folded her arms.
"So then after we get some Power Stars and gain an alliance from Akechi and Raven, not to mention Viridi gets corrupted, Yoshi gets creamed by Ridley and is almost turned into dino soup if Samus and friends didn't show up and he's all "Yo yo! Yo Yo Yoshi Yo!" and he's out for a while while Haru gets corrupted and then JINX gains a new teammate in the form of Yagami who used to be Dark Xena but she was like "Thanks, my homies! I dig the new name-"
Yagami took over. "Excuse me? I didn't say that!"
"And then we run into Dante and his friends, then we meet the clown of the hour, Dimentio and he's all "Yo, I'm gonna torment Ruby for a few hours because that's how I roll, ya dig?" and then he leaves after all that is said and done, then Hat Kid wanders in and is like "Yo, I'd like a few milkshakes and some burgers, hold the onion-"
"…Are you serious?" Hat Kid deadpanned.
"Sora comes back with a brand new weapon for Pyrrha after he comes back from the Smash Mansion, then Pyrrha goes all crazy with her weapons and then we go into the next area and that's when Dark Samus comes in like "Mwahahaha, I've corrupted all of your previous galaxies. There's nothing you can do about it!" and Rosalina gets all depressed and slowly starts to get pissed off by the power of the supernova, and then Hiyoko comes back with Mikan and they're all "Sup! We're gonna kick some ass with y'all"-"
"That's about accurate." Hiyoko said, causing Mikan to giggle.
"Then a few people fight you for the first time but you get re-kidnapped. Speaking of which, Nora came up with "Operation: Kidnap the Koopa Troop" and she's all "Yo, we gotta kidnap the Koopa Troop! WHO'S GOT BUTTERFLY NETS?" and then one by one, everyone comes back and then Marnie and Dark Samus have a fight like "Marnie, be one with Phazon if you want to live" and she's all "Screw you, loser! I'd rather run away than deal with a scum like you" and then Piers is all "I'll protect you Marnie even if it means I get turned into blueberry juice-"
Blueberry juice? Piers quietly mouthed while Marnie was trying to contain herself from laughing.
"Then it's revealed at one point, Tai is dating someone after moving on from Summer and she's all "Crap, I'm getting a migraine because I can't figure out who my guy is dating and everyone's keeping it a secret from me!" Summer gave Hop an annoyed look while the rest of TRQ snickered. "And then later on, Ruby gets herself covered in Phazon because Dimentio is like "Yo, I'm gonna turn Ruby into Chaos Ruby because I've got nothing better to do with my life!" and Ryuji verbally cremates him and is like "I hope you have life insurance because we're gonna kill you, go to kingdom come and beat you up some more until we get bored!"
"Dammit! I totally could've said that…" Ryuji mumbled, causing Makoto to facepalm.
"So now Ruby has the power of Phazon, she looks freaky as hell but she's not corrupted at all. Oh, and then SPBRR, the Strike Team and Futaba go to Aperture Science, beat up some robots, meet up with Samus's best friend and then beat up some more robots and then the whole planet blows up because a moron taking control of the facility had no idea what to do and he was like "Mwahahaha, I'm a big fat moron with the size of a 1 nanobyte microchip. Oooh, what's this button do?"
"…You know what? I can totally see him saying that." GLaDOS said.
"Slow down! I'm trying to comprehend what you're saying before they met us!" Cave said, while Chell was silently giggling.
"And then we go into a tower where Doom Guy shows up and is like "Raaah, look at me, I'm big, I'm tough, and I'm going to knock your socks off-" Doom Guy looked at Hop with an annoyed "Really, man?" look in his eyes. "-And so he rocks CFVY to the core, Samus gets her butt kicked by him but then Ibuki comes in with "Hey, Slayer-boy. Remember Ibuki?" and then cures him of his phazon and then he rips Ridley's wings off like a boss. Then Umber goes face to face with a freaky as hell chimera and barely wins with the power of corrupting Phazon while Mario gets himself kidnapped by the clown boy where he eventually makes his return in Throwback Galaxy, and then leaves with Dimentio right after that… oh, and Marnie reunites with her brother and Team Yell and she's almost thrown into the phazon but Gloria comes in with Neo and Gloria is like "Step away from my lassfriend if you want to live-"
"…No one says lassfriend!" Gloria said. "…Do they?"
"I'll take it." Marnie giggled.
"And then when everyone is cured, Marnie makes out with Gloria-"
"It was a simple kiss! …We'll do that after our first date." Marnie said as Gloria blushed.
"O-oh my…" She stammered, while also smiling as if she liked the sound of that.
"Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Chiaki comes in and shoots down a mean ol' Heartless with her ship that was bothering Hiyoko and before that, Rosalina goes supernova because Ridley and Dark Samus pressed her buttons one too many times and she finally had enough of their nonsense. Oh, and then way after that, we recruit Crocomire and we have this huge fight with this big alien guy that came from Slimy Spring Galaxy and tore up the Observatory and almost succeeded until Nora severely weakens him and everyone else finishes him off and then the Koopa Troop goes in to rescue you and Cinder goes "I'm going to steal the spotlight with Umber" and totally takes the victory… and here we are, with me explaining everything to you."
End BGM
"…Oh good, he's done. I was about to shut him up." Cinder said as Hop fell on his knees, panting.
"Hah… hah… I'm not sure where that came from… but… I… I think I need a new pair of lungs! Hah… hah…"
"I see. I understood half of that but I got the general idea." Bowser said as he stood up and rolled his shoulders. "By the way, where's Mario?"
"You didn't catch that part?!" Hop panted, falling on his back. "…Medic!" He groaned as Mikan immediately started healing him up with the Medigun.
Meanwhile, in the library…
"And this book goes here… finally! All the books are alphabetized."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"
The library shook during Bowser's roar, causing the books to slide off and fall to the ground. The Luma slumped with a whimper. "My masterpiece…"
Outside…
"You mean to tell me this Dimentio guy brainwashed Mario JUST LIKE THAT?!" He yelled.
"Pretty much!" Luigi nodded.
Bowser let out a snarl. "That no good… NO ONE DISRESPECTS THE PLUMBER BUT ME!" He yelled. "I can't believe I'm saying this but-" He pounded his fist into his palm. "Let's go save that plumber… no, wait, better idea. Let's go KIDNAP him!" He smirked as they saw the Grand Star firing a beam and opening up a wormhole. "Charge ahead! Let's get 'em!" He said as the ships went into the wormhole.
BGM: World S (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
As they came out of the wormhole, they would notice they were surrounded by rainbows, bright skies and birds flying around. "Well, this is… interesting. Guess this is where the last stronghold is… probably!" Polari said.
"Indeed. It's quite beautiful though." Rosalina said.
"So what's our first stop?" Ruby asked where Ibuki would take a look through some binoculars.
"Mario Squared Galaxy. It's kind of a bare bones kind of deal." Chiaki said.
"Ooooh, Ibuki wouldn't count that out just yet, Chiaki-chan." Ibuki spoke up as she handed her the binoculars.
"Huh? …Oh… huh! Okay, I can live with that. Much better than what I just said."
"Let me look at that." Bowser said as he looked into the binoculars. "Uh-huh… a castle, a lot of carnival rides… that's a big ferris wheel… what, did we go into a festival galaxy?" He wondered as he spotted a sign. "Welcome to… Disney Galaxy." He said, unaware of Mickey's eyes widening. "Okay, what the heck! Why is there a giant mouse head in front of that ferris wheel! …At least I think it's a mouse, it could be a rat!"
"Giant mouse head?" Riku raised an eyebrow as he took a look. "What the… what's Mickey's head doing at that ferris wheel?" He wondered as he lowered the binoculars as Sora took a look himself. "Mickey…" He turned his head toward the king. "You mind telling me what you're doing on that ferris wheel?"
"Aheheheheh… oh gosh…" Mickey sweatdropped. "I guess I have some explaining to do…"
It was either a bare boned galaxy with nothing fancy going on or something else entirely. I believe it was Yoshi who came up with the Disney world-like galaxy they're about to enter. A place to unwind for a bit before they go back to fighting the Space Pirates.
Ibuki: Better than Mario Squared? You betcha!
Also a shout out to him for coming up with Phazon Fury Bowser with Cinder and Umber fighting him and another shout out to DragonKnightSR for the convo Bowsette and Cinder had after the fact.
