"Ozpin!" Oobleck came running in. "We have bad news!"
"What is it?" Ozpin asked as he was looking outside, watching several shooting stars land on the ground as Star Bits bounced around.
"Peach's Castle has been lifted off the ground!" Oobleck exclaimed. "And on top of that, RWBY and JNPR have gone missing along with a bunch of other people!"
"Now when you say Peach's Castle has been lifted off the ground…"
"As in space!"
"Interesting…"
"What do you think?"
"I'm sure they can handle themselves just fine. After all, thanks to that distortion from that Subspace incident, we can freely use Dust in other worlds and space."
"Yes… but now we had another distortion to worry about!" Oobleck said. "These portals keep showing up randomly ever since that incident happened at DK Isle." He said as he turned around. "How do these portals work… I must know the answer!" He said and walked off.
"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about." Ozpin chuckle and looked out the window. "I wonder how team JINX is doing on their vacation?"
In space…
"Mmm…" Ruby let out a soft groan as she slowly opened her eyes, seeing a blurry vision of Summer. "Mom…?" She wondered as she closed her eyes. "Five more minutes…" She whispered. "…Wait, huh?!" She opened her eyes and sat up, but didn't see Summer. "…Oh… I was probably just seeing things…" She said as she stood up and looked at her surroundings. "…Where am I? Did I get kidnapped?" She wondered as there was a small chill. "Brrr! It's a little chilly out here…" She said as she looked up to see the stars… and the vastness of space. "Oh, cool… we're in space… WAIT WHAT?!" She yelled. "Holy crap, we're in space! …Why are we in space?" She wondered and then flashbacked to what happened before. "Ooooh… wait, I thought we were shot back down to Remnant…? Ugh, must've drifted off…"
"Ruby, can you be quiet… I'm trying to sleep… agh, and shut that window! There's a chill…"
"Weiss, there are no windows."
Weiss opened her eyes and looked at Ruby. "Ruby, what are you talk… ing… about… WHAT THE?!" She yelled as one by one everyone slowly rose from the ground. "WHY ARE WE IN SPACE?!"
BGM: Gateway Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Haaaaah~ We're in spaaaaace~" Yang drunkenly smiled.
"…Aaaand she's still drunk." Weiss facepalmed.
"Holy smokes, we are in space!" Sarge exclaimed. "Or I should say Red Team is in space. Heheheheh, suck it blues!"
"No… we're still here." Tucker said, rubbing his head.
"Drat! Well, at least Grif is dead!"
"No… I'm still here too… ow…"
"Double drat!"
"Eh, this doesn't bother me too much." Carolina said. "Space isn't that bad if you know what you're doing."
"Hmm…" Travis looked around in the vacuum of space. "Ya know, when I wanted to reenact a Star Wars scene at some point, this was not what I had in mind."
"Oooh, what scene?" Tucker asked.
"Probably a reenactment of Luke fighting Vader. I just need to find a Darth Vader costume."
"Niiiiice!"
"Uh… who?" Ruby asked.
"You never seen Star Wars?!" Travis asked in surprise.
"Nope."
"Woman, you are missing out!"
"Okay, when we get back home, remind me to have you guys watch Star Wars with you. A whole Star Wars marathon!" Grif said.
"Ah, no offense, Grif… but you already did that with the girls in that Chibi story." Caboose said.
"I did? Huh, go me! How'd we do?"
"Well, you guys got to the part where Vader revealed to Luke that he's his dad… and then Hades mentioned that Leia is Luke's sister."
"AGH, DAMMIT HADES!" Grif yelled. "…Wait, who's Hades?"
"A god of the underworld that we destroyed." Pit said. "He was big, malevolent… and completely sassy and flamboyant to boot."
"You sure he didn't have fiery blue hair and had two incompetent minions?" Sarge asked.
"That's… oddly specific." Blake said.
"Hmm! Sounds like you girls need to watch Hercules when we get home!"
"What are they talking about?" Dorothea whispered.
"I have no idea." Byleth whispered back as they started walking around the planet. It was then they found the Mario Bros still KO'd in the flower bed.
"Come on, up and at 'em, you two." Daisy said, shaking the duo when she heard chirping as they turned to see two pink Lumas floating toward them and gently poked the two on the nose, waking the two of them. "Oh sure, poking them on the nose works…" She rolled her eyes.
"Mama mia… what happened?" Luigi asked.
"We got blasted into space." Qrow responded.
"Wait, huh?!" Luigi looked around as he got up. "How are we breathing in space?! How are are not freezing to death in the vacuum of space?! How are we not even dead?!" He asked as he pulled out a book. "Come on, there's gotta be something in here!"
"What kind of book is that?" Tai asked.
"Book of logic." Mario responded, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
"There's nothing in here about breathing in space!" Luigi said, flipping through the pages. "Not here. Not there. Not anywhere!" He exclaimed as he tossed the book out hard enough for it to get out of the planet's orbit. "We're doomed!"
Daisy sighed. "Honey, I told you that book was a waste of money, but you didn't even believe me."
"I… thought it would've been fun." Luigi scratched his cheek as Daisy lightly slapped him upside the head. "Ooof! Okay, I deserved that." He said.
"Hey, you two done yet?" One of the Pink Lumas asked.
"Yeah." Daisy nodded.
"Good!" The two Lumas suddenly turned into rabbits. "Now let's play, boiyoing!" The two Star Bunnies took off running.
"…Did those talking stars…" Weiss blinked a bit before sighing. "Welp, we are definitely not in the Mushroom Kingdom anymore." She said as they walked after the Star Bunnies… but Weiss would notice a drunken Yang was heading the opposite way. "…Hey! Yang!" Weiss would walk over to Yang and grabbed her hand.
"AAAAH! Something's got me!"
"It's me, you drunken dolt!"
"Huh?" Yang turned to Weiss, squinting her eyes at her. "…Are… are you my conscience?"
Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose. "Arceus help me…" She said in exasperation. "Yes, I'm your conscience, we haven't talked in a while. How are you?" I can't believe I'm doing this.
"Oh, can't complain~"
"Good, now let's move." She said, taking Yang's arm and guiding her to the Star Bunnies where they would find three Star Bunnies in a field.
"Alright, let's play hide and seek boiyoing! See if you can't catch us~!" One of the bunnies said and they all split up.
"We're playing hide and seek with rabbits?" Ren asked.
"No silly, we're playing hide and seek with space rabbits!" Nora smiled.
"What's the difference?" Ren raised an eyebrow.
"Duh! They live in space!"
"…I… can't argue with that." Ren said as they split up to find the Star Bunnies.
One group walked alongside a crater and heard something hopping nearby. "I think I hear something." Blake said as she looked down into the crater. "In there?"
"I'll go take a look." Ilia said.
"Careful sweetie." Mercedes warned.
"Don't worry, I got this." Ilia winked at Mercedes as Blake pulled out her Shadow Whip and handed it to Ilia.
"Here, use this."
"Thanks." Ilia said, grabbing a hold of it and rappelled down until she found the Star Bunny. "Got ya!" She said, but the bunny hopped out and ran off. "…Or not!" She said as she climbed back up as Blake used her whip to try and get the Star Bunny, but thanks to the weird gravity, the whip didn't go as far as she hoped.
"This planet might take a while to get used to." Blake said as they went after it as the Star Bunny hopped away, only to get ambushed by Byleth, tackling it to the ground.
"Got ya!" Byleth said.
"Aww…" The Star Bunny turned back into a yellow Luma. "Knew I should've hid in the pipe…"
"The Pipe?" Dorothea walked forward.
"Yes."
"Hmm, I think you just outed one of your friends."
"…Ah crud!" He groaned.
Speaking of the Warp Pipe, the Reds, Blues, Carolina, Hiyoko and JNPR had approached a Warp Pipe. "I hear something hopping!" Caboose said.
"You think it's in there?" Jaune asked
"Let's give it a look." Sarge said, but suddenly the Star Bunny hopped out right as Travis hopped out as well.
"Oh hey guys." Travis greeted as he quickly chased after the bunny. "Get back here!"
"It's rabbit season, boys!" Sarge cocked his shotgun.
"Don't shoot at it!" Hiyoko exclaimed.
"Oh, what's a little lead?"
"Mmmph…" Hiyoko grumbled a bit as they chased after the Star Bunny where they dove for it until they all dog piled on top of one another. "Mmmph! Will you get your butts off of me!"
"I will once Grif gets his fat ass off of mine!" Church said.
"Oh sure, blame me!"
The Star Bunny let out a giggle and tried to bounce away, but Caboose grabbed a hold of it by the ears. "Got you, you cute little thing!"
"Aww…" The Star Bunny turned back into a Pink Luma. "Knew I should've hid in the grass…"
"Can you do that magic trick again?"
"Aiyeeeee!" A voice yelled from the other side of the planet as Zwei had pounced on the last Star Bunny.
"Good boy!" Ruby grinned as the Star Bunny turned into the other pink Luma.
"Wow, I can't believe you guys found all of us." The Luma said. "Maybe you guys can help mama!"
"Mama?" Weiss wondered when suddenly there was a glowing bright light on top of the planet. "Whoa!"
"I see a liiiight~" Yang giggled as they walked towards the platform in front of them.
"So, Travis… I've been meaning to ask. What's your story?" Carolina asked as they walked.
"Oh me? Heh, well, if I told you my whole story, there will definitely be a delay to this chapter and the age rating of this story will definitely go up." Travis said with a chuckle.
"Goodbye fourth wall, we hardly knew ya." Grif said..
"Think I should do the shotgun salute?" Sarge wondered.
"All you need to know is that I'm an assassin. That's all ya need to know, lady."
"Fair enough."
Once they climbed up the steps, they saw a woman floating before them, enveloped in a bright light. "Oooh, pretty lady!" Caboose said.
"Agh, how can you see through this light?" Tai winced.
"I see a light… conscience, am I dead?" Yang asked.
"No… I see it too." Weiss said.
"Are we both dead?"
"No, not that I'm aware of."
"Conscience?" Blake mouthed to Ruby who simply shrugged.
"Greetings, everyone… I have been watching you from here. I am Rosalina, traveler of the cosmos."
"Wait, hold on, did you say you were watching us? And you're wearing blue!" Sarge exclaimed. "Why I oughta-"
"Don't shoot her!" Daisy said. "We just met this beautiful lady and you're already thinking of shooting her?!"
"She's wearing blue!"
"Doesn't matter!"
Beautiful? Rosalina blushed a bit before shaking it off. "Ahem. Your group has the potential to save your friend in these cosmos, but two of you will need something to travel through space." She said, calling upon the two Lumas as they floated over to the Mario Bros. "I am entrusting you two with their care." She said as the Lumas flew up and then went inside their hats, where the Bros felt a surge of power.
"Wooo! I feel great!" Luigi exclaimed.
"You said it!" Mario said, both of them high fiving.
Rosalina chuckled. "Use these Lumas to help you along your way. May the stars shine down on you." She said as she floated up and disappeared.
"Bye pretty lady!" Caboose waved.
"How come we didn't get anything?" Nora asked.
"Well… I think it would've been overkill." Ren said.
"Aww… well, what power did those two get?" Nora wondered as the Mario Bros walked over to the crystals as they both spun, completely shattering them on contact. "Ooooh! Let me try!" Nora said as she walked over to the last crystal and spun, but as soon as her hand made contact… "YAAAAAAAAGH!" She yelled, pulling away and blowing on her throbbing hand. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!"
"Lass, you could've used your hammer!" Gloria pointed out.
"They made it look easy!" Nora winced as Mario spun at the last crystal to reveal a Launch Star. "…Show off…"
"Alright! You two can easily spin into this Launch Star to blast your way toward that planet over there! The others who don't have those powers, well, it can launch you, it just won't be blazing fast like these two."
"So we'll be slow?" Sonic raised an eyebrow.
"No, you'll be fast. Just not as fast."
"All I'm hearing is that I'm gonna be slower than Mario." Sonic said, hearing an amused chuckle from Mario. "Oh laugh it up." He said while rolling his eyes.
"Let's-a go." Mario said as he was the first to go in and launched off. "WAHOOOO!"
End BGM
Next it was Luigi's turn. "WAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
BGM: Grand Star Rescue (Super Mario Galaxy)
Mario was the first to land on the ground, then did Luigi… but the latter accidentally slammed face first into the planet. "Mmph! Mmph!" Luigi grunted as Mario pulled him out. "Phew… thanks." He said as everyone else landed on the ground, mostly on their butts or faceplanting.
"Ooow…" Weiss groaned as she faceplanted, and then Yang landed on her back. "YAAAAAGH!"
"Woo, what a rollercoaster~" Yang giggled.
"Get. Off." Weiss complained as Yang happily got off. "Ooof…" She got back and shook it off.
"Hi there!" A Luma greeted. "Listen, I had a Launch Star ready for you, but unfortunately a meteor smashed it up so you're gonna have to find the Star Chips on this planet. Oh, and watch out for the black hole."
"Black hole?" Carolina asked as she walked forward and looked down to see the black hole. "Oooh yeah, that's a black hole alright." She said. "…Wait a minute…" She turned to Yang who was still a drunken moron. "…Black hole… drunken girl… oh hell." She groaned. "We have to keep her away from the holes. Otherwise, she's a goner."
"Already planning on it." Weiss said, guiding Yang away from the black hole.
"Pretty falling stars~"
"Yes, they're pretty…" Weiss said, and then noticed meteors raining down on the planet. "Oh geez!"
"What kind of nonsense did we get into this time?!" Jaune asked as they tried to avoid the chaos.
"The good kind of nonsense! It wouldn't be a fun adventure without it!" Nora said.
"Well, she's not wrong!" Hiyoko said as they managed to find the Star Chips amongst the chaos, where the Star chips formed into a Launch Star.
"There we go! Now let's go before we're blasted to bits!" Gloria said as they went into the Launch Star and headed off to the next planet, where they saw a Luma trapped within a cage.
"Help me! One of those Goombas have the key to get me out of here!"
"Heeeey, you talking and walking chestnut… I need to have a word with you~" Yang drunkenly walked forward to a Goomba.
"What is it?" The Goomba asked.
"You ugly~"
"WHY YOU!"
"Hey… firecracker! Hang on a second!" Qrow said as the Goomba charged at Yang.
"Drunken… PUNCH!" Yang said, punching the Goomba hard enough to send him flying out of the planet's orbit and dropped the key.
"…You're kidding, right?" Blake asked.
"Got your lunch money~!" Yang drunkenly waved the key.
"Aaaand there it is." Ruby said as Weiss guided Yang to the trapped Luma.
"Is she okay?" The Luma asked.
"In a certain point of view, yes." Church said.
"Oookay then! I'll just transform into a Sling Star and you guys head on over to the next planet! I'll just need to… TRANSFOOOOOOORM!" He yelled as he turned into a Sling Star.
"Okay, am I drunk too or did I just see him-"
"Nope, we saw it too." Ilia interrupted Church.
"Okay then!" He said as he hopped into the Sling Star and went toward the other planet… only to land wrong. "OW! SON OF A BITCH THAT HURT." He yelled as Caboose landed on top of him. "OOOOF!"
"Nice landing pad!" Caboose said as the others landed with some difficulty.
"Oh, another trapped… what'd she call these Star creatures again?" Dorothea asked.
"Luma… I think." Byleth said.
"There's a big Goomba with a key! Find him!" The Luma requested.
"A big Goomba?" Pyrrha wondered. "Well, that shouldn't be too hard to fi-… wait, where's Yang?!"
"OH SON OF A-" Weiss turned around and ran after Yang. "Yang, you get back here right now!"
"Heeey biiig guy~ You so ugly, your momma rejected you at birth~"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOMMA?!"
"Oh great, she's resorting to "Your Momma" jokes." Simmons said. "She's definitely off her rocker now!"
"As if she wasn't in the first place?" Gloria sweatdropped.
"Easy girl! There's no need to go overboard." Tai said.
"SPINNING SHORYUKEN!" Yang yelled, hitting the Goomba hard enough to knock him high in the air and made him drop the key. The Goomba squished a smaller Goomba in the process.
"Ack! This is ironic!" The Goomba grunted. "GET OFF!"
"More lunch money~ …Or is this a golden ticket? I dunno~" Yang giggled as the others guided her to the Luma.
"Spinning Shoryuken…?" Sonic wondered.
"My guess… she's spouting nonsense." Daisy said.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Mario shrugged as they went toward the Luma and unlocked it.
"Thank you! In here!" He said as he went into the Warp Pipe as they hopped inside, then saw the Grand Star above them.
"Wait, are we upside down…?" Pit wondered. "Ah geez… I feel dizzy…"
"I think we're on the ground… and that's the ceiling… or maybe…? Aaaagh, gravity is weird here!" Simmons complained.
"Let's just hope gravity doesn't die on us." Sarge said.
"We need that Grand Star out of there!" The Luma said. "They're sucking the energy off of it!"
"Then let's go and get it out!" Nora grinned.
"Step on those flip switches, it's the key to get it out!"
"Wait… how come you didn't do it when you were trapped in that cage?" Tucker asked.
"I tried to, but it wouldn't respond to my weight unfortunately." He sighed.
"Then we'll pick up your slack! Let's go." Hiyoko said as they walked ahead and hit the flipswitches, where they all turned green and the Grand Star was saved.
"That… is the biggest Power Star I've seen." Blake said. "…Anyone else getting some deja vu?"
"Yup." Weiss nodded as they picked up the Grand Star, where the Grand Star's power lifted them all up and they took off flying.
End BGM
A few minutes of flying later…
The Grand Star had them land on the Observatory before flying off into the core, lighting up as it did so and turned on some of the lights, glowing above the Terrace, garage and the Fountain. "Whoa, this place is nice!" Daisy said.
"I'll say!" Ruby smiled.
"Huzzah! The beacon is lit again! Of course, it's a Class 6 Star, but it'll do. At least the Lumas will now survive." Polari said.
"Indeed." Rosalina nodded and turned around. "I like to thank you all for helping. You see, this Observatory travels the cosmos. We come back to your planet every hundred years, but we were attacked. A large group of people led by this reptilian beast came and stole the Observatory's power supply, the Power Stars and the Grand Stars. Without them, the Observatory goes into hibernation. So… I would like to request that you all help us get the Grand Stars back… and with them, we will have enough power to go to the center of the universe to save your special friend."
"Center of the universe?" Pit asked. "Like, at the center center?"
"Hmm, give or take fifty feet." Rosalina responded.
"Ah, got ya."
It was at that moment when something struck Ruby on the head. "Wait a minute! You said your name was Rosalina, right?"
"Yes, that is my name."
"Holy crap! I thought you were a myth! Master Hand wouldn't stop talking about you!"
"Ruby, what are you-… oooooh my goodness." Weiss's eyes widened. "I thought he was just making you up!"
"And Palutena!" Nora said.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Rosalina asked.
"They mean that they thought you never existed despite you being talked about a lot." A voice said as a heavenly light appeared before them as Palutena walked out. "Hello Rosalina."
"Oh! Palutena… it's been a while." Rosalina smiled.
"You mean you weren't making it up?" Pit asked. "Ah geez, I owe that Centurion twenty hearts…"
"I guess I have been talked about, huh?"
"Well, you were the talk of the town when you were invited to Smash, but you never came."
"Well, I was going to… but… I felt like I would have been doing it just to make this one guy happy."
"What do you mean?" Palutena asked.
"Some guy was spamming me on my Galactic Mail about wanting to come join this "Smash", I had to block him to get some peace and quiet."
"Oooooh." Palutena nodded. Dang it Crazy Hand…
"That would be a relief." Hiyoko said with a nod.
"Yup." Ruby agreed.
"Haaaah haaaah, look at the crazy flying cats~" Yang smiled, watching the Lumas fly around.
"…THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Weiss yelled as she slapped Yang on the cheek hard.
"OW!" Yang yelled as she shook it off. "Weiss, what was that fo-… wait, where are we? Why aren't we in the Mushroom Kingdom? Why are we in space?!"
"You're kidding… all she needed was a bitch slap?" Hiyoko asked. "Should've done that a long time ago."
"Well, I wasn't going to slap my daughter." Tai said in defense as the rest brought her up to speed.
"Oooooh, got it." Yang nodded. "Alright, so I guess we're just gonna have to take care of Bowser again…. And try to find a way to get Peach's castle back to our planet… this should be fun!"
"She's taking it rather well." Travis chuckled.
BGM: The Final Countdown (Start at 3:16)
"Well, in any case, we oughta get going and find these Stars." Jaune said.
"Yeah, but where are we going to find them anyway?" Pyrrha asked.
"You can find some Stars in the Terrace. You can find some in a galaxy."
"Well, that's good to know." Ruby said.
"Um… guys? Where's that music coming from?" Gloria asked as they looked around where Palutena spotted something in the distance.
"Over there!" Palutena said, pointing in said direction as they looked behind to see a hover board making its way toward the Observatory, plus one metal head rocking out on her electric guitar.
"It's the final countdoooown~!" She would say with a massive grin on her face as she reached the Observatory where she turned off the hover board and then hopped off the hover board and slide across the floor on her knees, finishing off her song and waved her hand up in the air. "Woo! Thank you outer space!" She exclaimed, doing the punk rock hand gesture.
End BGM
Everyone stared at the woman for a few seconds, trying to process what just happened. "Uh… who are you?" Jaune finally broke the silence.
"The name's Ibuki Mioda, nice to meet ya!" She grinned. "Ibuki was looking all over for Sonia-chan when she found this place light up, so Ibuki had to come and investigate and-" She immediately spotted Hiyoko, letting out a gasp. "Hiyoko-chan~!" She exclaimed as she ran through the crowd and happily glomped her.
"Ack!" Hiyoko yelped before laughing. "Hey there Ibuki!" She giggled.
"You two know each other?" Ruby asked.
"Of course!" Hiyoko nodded as the two friends got up. "Everyone, let me introduce you to one of my classmates, Ibuki Mioda! Ibuki, this is-"
One introduction later…
"Mhm… mhm." Ibuki folded her arms with a nod. "Glad Ibuki was able to know all of you within that timeskip!" She grinned.
Is she referring to herself in the third person? …Oh great. Weiss thought.
"So, you were looking for Sonia?" Hiyoko asked.
"Yup yup! Ibuki was looking everywhere for her, but she couldn't find her. She even went to Hell to try and find her, but no such luck. However, Ibuki did find something else in hell!" She smiled and pulled out her phone. "Ibuki helped Mr. Grumpy Pants take out this demon called the Icon of Sin!" She said, showing off a picture to everyone where they would see Ibuki doing a selfie with Doom Guy, the latter looking absolutely annoyed from inside his helmet. There was another picture of her that took his helmet off as she had her fingers forcing a smile on Doom Guy, much to his irritation. "You like it? It's a pretty good story to tell! Ibuki is pretty sure that will be in a Gaiden soon!"
"A what?" Blake asked.
"I don't what she said in that last part." Yang said.
"Welp, I guess we're stuck with Looney Bird over here." Church said.
"Hey now! Ibuki's more than just a looney bird, thank you very much!" Ibuki said proudly. "By the way… Hiyoko-chan, what are you doing out in space with these folk? Ibuki was certain you would have ran off in the last chapter!"
"Aheheh… right, about that… I was going to but…"
Earlier…
BGM: Bowser Jr's Airship Armada (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Ah geez, I'm outta here!" Hiyoko took off running after Bowser's airships started blasting things to pieces, but as she tried to run… she was suddenly surrounded by Hammer Bros, Koopas, Goombas, and some Boomerang Bros.
"Where do you think you're going? Grab her!" The Hammer Bro ordered as Hiyoko took out her tessans.
"Out of my way!" She yelled, quickly running at them as she quickly kicked at a Hammer Bro while reflecting a hammer back at another with her bladed fan, then she quickly swung her Tessans to knock them down as she then front flipped and axe kicked a Goomba before turning around and jump kicked a Koopa. She then flipped around and swung her fan at the Hammer Bro, then she went off but was greeted by a few Shy Guys and Koopas where she immediately struck them down.
"That's about two dozen down." Hiyoko said, when suddenly a building crumbled and fell on the ground, blocking her way out of there and then noticed the other exits have been blocked off by the carnage. "OH COME ON!" She yelled and then looked up at the airships. "Fine… mess with my fun… I'll mess YOU up, you sewer dwelling reptilian bastard!"
End BGM
"Messed up my get away because his minions happened to get in my way, soooo… I decided to join these guys." Hiyoko explained.
Ibuki let out a chuckle. "Well now! Ibuki supposes that we can all kick Bowser's butt together! Let's roll! The audience wants to see all of us in action!" She said as she took off to the terrace. "Come on! Let's go!"
Travis looked to the screen. "You thinking what I'm thinking, right?" He asked, pointing to Ibuki and using his other hand to do the "cuckoo" gesture.
"Goodness, she's a loon…" Dorothea said.
"Yes, but she's a fun loon!" Hiyoko smiled and walked off to the Terrace with the others.
"Well, I think things are gonna get interesting, how about you?" Palutena asked.
"Yeah." Rosalina nodded, her eyes fixated on someone. Ruby… something about her is… intriguing. She thought.
Sonic, meanwhile, took some extra time and ran around the Observatory. "Come on, come on… aha! Bars!" He said and then started calling someone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tails!"
"Sonic! You're okay… I got a bit worried."
"Yeah… hey listen, I was wondering if you could come on over. I think this space station might not hold all of us."
"Space Station? Hang on, let me track your coordinates… found you!"
"Yeah… you think you can come on over with that ship of yours? And I don't mean the X-Tornado."
"I'll be there as soon as I can. I'll just have to find Knuckles."
"Thanks pal!" He said and then put it away. "Heh, this is going to be fun." He said as he took off running back into the Terrace.
Meanwhile, at the center of the universe…
"You what?" Bowser asked in surprise.
"Yes, you heard right. I have made something that will counter team RWBY." Eggman smirked.
"And how are you going to do that?" Bowser asked. "You haven't even fought them before… as far as I know, at least!"
Eggman chuckled a bit. "I have frequently visited the Smash Mansion, and I have studied their attack patterns and their semblances. I was just putting in the final touches when you called me over. Heh, it was a grand opportunity to use it on RWBY."
"Wow, impressive!" Bowser said.
"Yes. Now follow me, I wish to show you my project that will counteract them." He said as he walked off with a devilish grin on his face.
Meanwhile, somewhere else in space…
A Pelican flew across the emptiness of space. "Ah great… the radar's busted. How are we going to find those Carolina twins?"
"We will. We'll just have to follow our instincts."
"YOUR instincts? Sure, whatever you say, you growling maniac."
"We WILL kill them, Wash."
"Yes, I know! We'll get 'em, Maine…" Washington said with a sigh. "Let's just hope we don't run into anyone crazy."
Meanwhile, at Alola…
"Hmm… you boys wonder if you're missing out on something grand?" Sun asked.
"Eh, I'm sure we'll be fine…" Claude said. "Let's just enjoy our guy's day out."
"Agreed." Sun nodded. "Looking good, Neptune!" He said as Neptune was surfing on the water… when a Mantine breached out of the water.
"WAH!" Neptune yelped, slamming into the water.
"Ooooh!" Both of them winced.
"Squirt!" Tank winced as well as Neptune emerged from the water.
"I'm okay!"
Now before everyone gets on my case about Washington and Meta... yes, it's been a while since they last showed up. Let me explain: I felt it would be best if their next appearance was in Galaxy. It just made sense in my opinion. Now, did it take longer than expected since I was burned out after Thousand Year Door, took a break and wrote up my Zelda story while also writing my Touhou/Mario one shots? Yes. But I never forgot about their next appearance. Writing takes time, so there's no need for rushing, ya know? Anyway, hope that explains it!
Now then... let's talk about the Crown Tundra! HOLY CRAP, IT'S GORGEOUS! It's beautiful, it's huge! It's... overwhelmingly big. Very easy to get lost in if you don't know where you're going. I made a point to scout out the land before I tackled the story... and even then, I still got lost while playing the story. I do love Isle of Armor, but holy Arceus, Crown Tundra blows it out of the water! (Stonjourner is surprisingly a lot more common here than it is in the Wild Area...)
So anyway, the first story I tackled was Calyrex. I'm gonna be honest... the moment I laid my eyes on him in the reveal trailer, I thought he was ugly and kept calling him such. So, what happens when I first met him in game? "Aww, he's a precious cinnamon roll! I wanna hug you!" (Definitely a lot smaller than I thought he'd be though.) I went for... uh... Glacitier, was it? (I'll remember the name eventually.) and man, Glacitier and Spectral...tier... thing... are MAJESTIC. (*immediately looks up their names* Glastrier and Spectrier... one of these days, I'll get 'em down.)
Next, I tackled the Regis and... okay, i'm gonna be nitpicky here and say "WHY?" when you go into Regidrago/Elecki's temple. How the heck were we supposed to figure THAT puzzle out? I'm glad my friends on Discord helped me there but it was just... uuuugh, that was BS! (I went with Regidrago.)
Now i'm tackling the Legendary Birds and i've already got Zapdos... just need to get Moltres (Why are you flying above the Sharpedo-infested waters? Greeeeat...) and need to find Articuno and I will have completed all of the story objectives! ...Though i've heard there's a secret fourth one involving Sonia and the Swords of Justice... and something involving the Ultra Beasts. Hoo boy...
So all in all, The Crown Tundra is extremely well done and I love the heck out of it. Definitely a 9.8/10 for me!
Oh, by the way, what Legendary Pokemon did y'all get when you entered Dynamax Adventures for the first time? I got Suicune.
EDIT: Just noticed Meta's lines weren't italicized. Could've sworn I italicized them... odd.
