Shakara and Oracle arrived back at the Observatory, where Rosalina was wating to give them some news, "You came back, that's good, I need to inform you of some stuff" Rosalina said before giving them a motion, indicating to follow her.
They arrived in front of the screen that showed the Galaxies they could travel to, but there was something in the middle of the screen, "That is the center of the universe, it's where Bowser is" Rosalina explaine and Shakara nodded, "How many stars do we need to get there?" Oracle asked, "A lot of them, but one thing is for certain, we need all of the Grand Stars." Rosalina clarified.
While they were talking, they noticed that Luigi came back from a Galaxy, "Hey, where did you go? If you went to one of the Galaxies we went to, we probably would have met you" Shakara said and Luigi replied "I went to another Galaxy thanks to that pink Luma, if you happen to find more, give them star bits, if you do they'll help you."
Before anything else could be said, the screen lighted up and signaled that something was passing by a Galaxy, "It's a speedy comet, this is a rare one, oh right, you don't know about these, there are some comets that change how the Galaxies work, this one is a speedy comet, that means you'll have a limited time there, it seems that this one is passing near Good Egg Galaxy." Rosalina explained what the comets were and Avaritia was listening, but none of them noticed, so when the comet disappeared and the star counter rised by one, they were all surprised.
"What the... Mom!" Shakara yelled realizing what happened, she saw that Avaritia was having a fit of laughter, "S-sorry, I-I couldn't resist!" She managed to say between laughs, "I get that, but come on! We didn't even get to know what we had to do!" Shakara responded, "You already defeated that plant." Avaritia said.
Rosalina looked at the screen and saw that they could go to a new Galaxy, "In any case, we can go to a new Galaxy" She said, but Shakara shook her head, "Sorry, but I'm not going this time, I want to spent some time with Tauira and Nezumi." She explained and quickly went to find the two.
Oracle went away too, "I'll go take a rest too, fighting with boiling sushi is tiresome." She referred to her fight with King Kaliente, "...So who's going?" Polari asked, "We'll be going to this new Galaxy" Paint and Thinner said together, "Well then! Anyone else wants to go?", Mario stepped up and said "I'll go", "I'll go too." Starrow said as she stepped in front of Mario, "That's not nec-" Mario was saying, but Starrow interrupted "Yes it is."
Starrow went ahead and dragged Mario by the hair to the Terrace, with Paint and Thinner following, "Is she always like that?" Rosalina asked, "Sometimes, she usually makes jokes that make everyone wish they didn't have ears."Avaritia replied before her and Rosalina heard from the Terrace "Oh come on, my jokes are stellar." Starrow exclaimed, "Will you stop!?" Avaritia begged at this point.
Loopdeeloop Galaxy.
Paint and Thinner landed on the planet and saw that there was what looked like a water race track near the place, "I wanna go there" Paint said as she stared at the track, "Slow down, remember what happened last time you went swimming in a river with that kind of current?" Thinner reminded Paint, this made her look at her brother with an unamused look.
"Hey you two! Came here to take part in the race?" A big black penguin asked, the two slimes turned to look at the penguin and noticed that the planet was full of penguins, "What race?" Thinner asked, "The annual ray surfing, this year the prize is a gold star!" The penguin exclaimed, both Paint and Thinner realized what that was and so they accepted, but... "Actually, there is only one free spot, so one of you will have to watch." The penguin explained, but Paint and Thinner looked at eachother beforegrabbing eachother's hand and fusing into White Stain.
The penguin was quite shocked at seeig this happening, "Does it count if we're only one person" White Stain asked and the penguin shook his head and lead them to the track.
Honeyhive Galaxy.
Starrow and Mario landed on the planet and saw how there were way more bugs than when Shakara went there, "I expected there to only be bees here, it is called Honeyhive Galaxy after all." Starrow commented as she looked at the bugs, "Maybe they're from another planet?" Mario suggested, "...What's a planet?" Starrow asked him, "...What we're on right now?" Mario replied confused, "That's what you call these? We call them celestial bodies" Starrow clarified.
"We call them that too sometime, but let's focus on where to go, I thinks it's on that tower?" Mario said, pointing to the tower, "Probalby, hang tight." Starrow said, grabbing Mario before teleporting to the bottom of the tower, "Ughh... I feel sick..." Mario commented, "First time teleporting? Well, you better get your stomach settled, because we have a lot of tower to climb." Starrow reminded.

"Welcome everyone to the annual ray surfing race!" The black penguin said into a microphone, "Today we have five contestants! Which one of them will be the winner? Don't avert your gaze if you want to find out!" The penguin continued while White Stain looked at the other contestants, which were all penguins, "Are there only penguins here?" She wondered to herself, "Ready?" The black penguin said, making White Stain focus on the track "Go!" He continued, causing everyone to star moving.
It was showing to be a standard race as all of them were going at the same speed, but one of the penguins seemed to be going faster than when it started, "How the?" White Stain muttered, but then decided to try a shortcut, she used her own body to make the ray swim to an upper area of the track and it worked, she was way closer to the end line now, but somehow, the penguin from before was already catching up tp her.
"This doesn't make any sense, unless..." White Stain wondered before testing her theory, creating a wall underwater causing his ray to slam against it, the impact caused it head to lose color, showing that it wasn't a real ray, "One of the contestants was using a robot!? How did he even sneak it in!?" The black penguin asked frustrated, but got distracted from it as White Stain reached the finish line.
Honeyhive Galaxy.
Starrow was waiting for Mario to arrive at the top, she teleported right there and left him at the bottom, "Why didn't you teleport me here too!?" Mario asked as he got on the platform Starrow was on, "I thought you said my help wasn't necessary." Starrow replied in a mocking way, Mario just looked at her as if asking 'then why teleport us here in the first place?'
Mario was going to ask more, but a mandibug mother with it's child on it's back tried to bite him, "Whoa!?" He exclaimed as Starrow grabbed the mandibug, "These things are ugly, but this one seems more like a symptom rather than a cause, someone should come back here to check after we get the star." Starrow explained before kicking the mandibug on the back causing both it and it's child to explode into smoke, making the star appear.
She grabbed it and Mario, and then flew back to the obvervatory.

"Our winner, and uncoverer of a cheater apparently, is White Stain!" The black penguin exclaimed before giving the star to White Stain, "Thank you, thank you, I'll be back, maybe" She jokingly said before flying back to the observatory.
