BGM: Rosalina in the Observatory 1 (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Whoa…" Weiss whispered.
"Daaaang!" Yang said in surprise.
"Welp, there's no denying it." Blake said with a nod.
"Yeah, we totally believe you now!" Ruby said.
"Yay! Ibuki's so happy!" Ibuki smiled, hugging them with a grin as Weiss gave her back her phone.
"Huh, and here I thought you were just a random loon." Travis said.
"She's a loon, but she doesn't mess around when she puts her mind to it." Hiyoko said with a nod.
"Fair point." Travis chuckled.
"Grrr…" Sarge grumbled.
"What's wrong?" Ibuki asked.
"You fried that octopus up but you didn't bring it back with you?" He asked.
"Well, it did sink back into the lava." Hiyoko pointed out. "Last I checked, we're not exactly lava proof."
"Good point. Alright, anyone know where we can find some lava-proof stuff we can have some kalimari?" Sarge asked.
"Hmm…" Rosalina rubbed her chin in thought. "I don't think such a thing exists…"
"Bullcrap, you've been through the cosmos all your life, you probably saw something like that!"
"Alright, simmer down." Byleth said, pushing him away. "Let's not make a big deal about this."
"Yeah, I mean… we could find some Blooper." Mario said. "I'm sure there's some Blooper somewhere out in space."
"I've seen a few." Rosalina responded.
"Mmmph, fine, I guess we'll wait." Sarge grumbled, when suddenly the alarm started blaring.
"Are we under attack again?" Polari wondered as he flew over to the screen. "We got something coming at us fast!"
"What is it?" Luigi wondered as they stared off into space… when suddenly a massive ship came out of hyperspace and came to a gentle stop near the Observatory.
"Ack! It's Empire Strikes Back!" Sarge exclaimed as he suddenly picked up Grif.
"WHAT THE… HEY!"
"Darth Vader! We didn't mean to piss you off! Accept this offering so you won't kill us all!"
"PUT ME DOWN, YA MORON!"
"…You cannot be serious." Hiyoko looked at Sarge in annoyance.
"Guys? I don't think that's a Star Destroyer." Travis said.
"It's not?"
"No. It's the Blue Typhoon." Sonic said.
"Oh…" Sarge dropped Grif.
"OOOOF!"
"Goodness, another ship?" Rosalina wondered as they saw Tails and Knuckles walk out of the Blue Typhoon.
"Ah, I see you finally found the Master Emerald." Sonic said.
"Yeah, and I couldn't believe who had it either." Knuckles said.
Pause BGM
Some time ago…
"Ack! My purse!" A Koopa exclaimed as Knuckles walked by and noticed Nabbit and Sableye making their getaway. "Stop! Thieves!"
Knuckles immediately sprang into action as he dug underground, eventually popping underneath Nabbit and Sableye and knocked the two over as Nabbit dropped his bag. "Now where do you two think you're going?" He asked as something rolled out of the bag. It was the Master Emerald. "What the… the Master Emera-… YOU!" He yelled as Nabbit and Sableye started sweating, hugging each other in terror. "You stole the MASTER EMERALD!" He yelled, a fiery aura surrounding him.
"Sable Sable!" The Sableye cried as Nabbit let out a few terrified chirps, as Knuckles unleashed an uppercut that knocked the both of them high into the sky, complete with a star shining brightly in the sky.
"HAVE YOU NO SHAME!" Knuckles yelled as he picked up the bag and dumped everything out that they had stolen. Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, ? Boxes, purses, coins, and even an ice fairy was dumped out.
"FREEDOOOOOOOOM!" Blizzaurus yelled as she flew off.
"…What was with the ice fairy?" Knuckles wondered as he shrugged it off before picking up the Master Emerald and walked off while the Koopa picked up her purse.
Resume BGM
"Nabbit… wasn't he that rabbit guy that kinda stalked us a long time ago?" Yang wondered.
"I believe so." Ruby nodded.
"Well anyway, Team Sonic is ready to kick some butt!" Sonic grinned.
"Well uh… they wanted to come along too." Tails said.
"Hmm?"
"Ooooh Soooniiiiiic~!"
"…Oh." Sonic turned around and saw Amy waving over to them, and Cream and Cheese were with her as well.
"Hi!" Cream waved.
"Chao Chao!"
"A pink hedgehog… you can't get much more girly than that." Church said under his breath.
"Yay, new friends!" Caboose said.
"Up top!" Ibuki said, high fiving Caboose.
One introduction later…
"Thought you could use an extra ship around here." Sonic explained. "So I asked Tails to bring the Blue Typhoon along for the ride."
Rosalina smiled. "How sweet of you." She said. "I don't mind at all."
"Heh, had a feeling you wouldn't." Sonic said. "Come on guys, we'll show ya around." He said as they went around the whole ship and showed everything off… while Ruby snuck out of the Blue Typhoon and walked around the Observatory.
End BGM
"Decided to sneak off, hmm?" A voice asked as Ruby turned around and saw Rosalina approaching her.
"Yeah, just needed some time to myself, ya know?"
Rosalina chuckled. "I can relate to that." She said as Ruby sat down on the edge near the grass as Rosalina sat down with her. "So, something on your mind?"
"How can you tell? We only just met."
Rosalina giggled. "Forgive me, it's a force of habit. Once you hang around Lumas for hundreds of years, you tend to pick up on things."
Ruby chuckled. "I suppose so." She said.
"So, tell me. Something wrong?"
"Well… you probably won't believe me if I tell you."
"Try me."
"Okay so… the thing is, I… have a doppleganger that's out to kill me." Ruby said and explained the whole Mirror of Truth and Dark Ruby situation to Rosalina.
"Hmm, that does sound pretty bad…"
"You… actually believe me?"
"Ruby, I've seen tons of extraordinary things in the cosmos. Just about a few weeks ago, I saw an extraordinary explosion in the middle of space. I went to investigate and it turned out to be a destroyed space station. I believe it was called… Jambastion, was it? And even before I saw the explosion, I even met a baby version of myself. It felt like it was a blast to the past… but it wasn't long until I had to say goodbye to her."
"You met your baby self?"
"Yeah… I'm not sure how it happened, but it was a treat. Random space station explosions, meeting your baby self… at this point, nothing can surprise me." Rosalina chuckled. "So really, you having a doppleganger out for blood doesn't even faze me at the slightest."
Ruby giggled. "You've seen it all, huh?"
"Pretty much." Rosalina giggled with her. "So, based on your story, you've been having difficult times with her?"
"Yeah… and there was one point where I was at my worst and… ran away just so I could train as best as I could try to surpass her… but… I didn't tell anyone, and I worried them sick. It got to the point where I made the news."
"Ooooh…" Rosalina grimaced. "I guess you should be thankful your friends found you first instead of Dark Ruby."
"Yeah… and after a little bit of training and advice from Master Mustard, I'm back on my feet… but… there's a problem."
"What is it?"
BGM: Luma (Super Mario Galaxy)
"I said to myself that I'm no longer afraid of Dark Ruby, but… I just can't help but shake this fear away sometimes…"
"Ah. Sometimes Lingering Fear tends to stick around for a while. It is understandable, considering your history with her." She wrapped an arm around Ruby. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll take her down once and for all." She said with a soft smile.
Ruby smiled back. "Thanks, Rosalina…" She said, leaning into her shoulder as Rosalina rubbed her back.
"I can't imagine what you're going through… your parents must have been worried when you ran away." Rosalina whispered.
"Parent, actually… my mother died when I was really young."
"Oh… my condolences." Rosalina said. "To be honest, I know what it's like to lose a loved one."
"You do?"
Rosalina nodded. "Yes… you see, when I was just a little girl, before I traveled around the cosmos, my mother came down with a serious illness. To make matters worse, it was terminal. She spent her final days underneath a tree, watching the sunset on a hill. I usually accompanied her. I never wanted to leave her side, so I slept with her at night. One day, when I woke up… she was still sleeping. As of now, she's continuing her slumber underneath the tree."
"Oh…" Ruby quietly said, as unbeknownst to her, Rosalina was fighting her tears.
Don't cry… don't cry… you told the Lumas you wouldn't cry anymore… She thought, taking a deep breath and exhaling. Good, got it together.
"So… what about your other family?"
"Unfortunately, I haven't seen them in a long time." Rosalina said.
"Well, why don't you go see them?"
"Ruby, remember when I said I travel the universe and come back to Earth every one hundred years?"
"Yeah? …Oh… Oooooh…" Ruby looked away. "I'm sorry, I thought you were exaggerating."
Rosalina let out a soft giggle. "It would be pretty unbelievable to outsiders, wouldn't it?" She said. "I've stopped aging physically a long time ago. I guess you can say I'm immortal."
"Oh wow… so you're practically an old lady…" She said before realizing what she said, blushing immensely. "Ah! Sorry! That came out wrong!"
Rosalina burst out laughing. "No no, it's fine. It is true, I am rather old… doesn't really bother me all that much." She said with a wink. "But hey, look at the bright side… at least I won't have to die as an old lady."
"Wouldn't that still technically apply?"
"True, but I wouldn't be just skin and bones." Rosalina chuckled, ruffling Ruby's hair.
End BGM
"That's true." Ruby giggled as they both looked each other in the eyes.
"Hmm… I can't help but notice how silver your eyes are." Rosalina mused. "I've never seen such an eye color before…"
"I never gave it much thought." Ruby explained. "I guess that makes me unique, I dunno."
"I suppose so." Rosalina nodded.
"Hey Rubes!" Yang approached the two. "You wanna head to the next galaxy?"
"Coming!" Ruby said as she stood up. "See ya later, Rosalina!"
"See ya." Rosalina waved as Ruby walked off. "Hmm… something about those silver eyes intrigues me… why do I sense immense power from them…?" She wondered to herself. "Mmm… I'm probably overthinking it."
In the dome…
"Alright, let's see where we're going now!" Nora said as they saw a galaxy appearing before them.
"Wonder where that takes us." Ruby wondered as she was the first to launch toward the Galaxy, where she would begin her descent several minutes into her flight, landing on her feet on the planet.
BGM: Honeyhive Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Whoooooa! Pretty!" Ruby said as the others landed behind her.
"Oooh, pretty snazzy." Yang said.
"Where are we?" Jaune wondered.
"Welcome to Honeyhive!" A Bee greeted.
"…The bee is talking. Great." Grif said.
"Honeyhive Galaxy. Sweet." Yang grinned. "Alright, let's go find some Power Stars!" She said as they split up.
Honeyhive Galaxy Star 1 - Bee Weiss Takes Flight - RWBY, Byleth, Gloria, Mario Bros, Sonic, Tails, Amy
"Whoa, check them out! Those girls look cute!" A Bee said.
"Hmm…" Another Bee studied them. "Those four look color coded, that woman has humongous large melons, what is with that pink hedgehog and… oh my goodness gracious, that girl right there… is she wearing plaid? That's… that's tacky!"
An angry tic mark appeared on Gloria's forehead. "I get that plaid isn't for everyone, but I'm really close to sockin' that bee…" She said.
"…Was that bee referring to me?" Yang asked.
"I think he was referring to Byleth." Blake said.
Byleth sweatdropped. "Why is that the first thing people associate me with?"
"Hello, what's this?" Ruby wondered as she touched a big ? Coin, only for it to disappear as four Bee Mushrooms appeared before them.
"Hmm?" Weiss picked up the Bee Mushroom and examined it before popping it in her mouth. "Hmm… tastes like honey." She said, and then her appearance changed. Her hair turned black, her outfit turned yellow and black, bee wings popped out of her back and antenna popped up on her head, her heels turned black and if Weiss would take out her weapons, they would be pure black as well. "WHAT THE BUZZ?!" She yelled.
"Hey, look, the ice queen turned into a queen bee!" Yang teased.
Weiss stared at Yang before pulling out Myrtenaster. "…Don't make me sting you."
"Aww, cheer up Weiss. Don't bee so dramatic." Yang said with a shit-eating grin, as Weiss let out an annoyed growl in response.
Sting!
"YOOOWCH! WORTH IT!"
"Does it really have a stinger?" Ruby asked as she poked the tip of the rapier while Gloria applied a Super Potion to Yang's arm, the place where Weiss stung her. "Ouch! Yes it does!"
"As much as I wanted to smack you lass, Weiss already covered it for me." Gloria said as the Mario Bros ate the Bee Mushrooms to become Bee Mario/Luigi.
"Heeey, looking good, bro!" Mario said.
"You too!" Luigi said, and then Gloria walked over and picked up the Bee Mushroom.
"Ya know, I don't think I ever used a power up before…" Gloria said as she popped it in her mouth and started glowing. When the glowing stopped, there were antenna on her head, red goggles were over her eyes. Wings appeared on her back as her shirt was yellow as two black stripes appeared on her abdomen. Purple sleeves appeared on her arms and purple stockings appeared on her legs. Two sharp silver lances appeared in her hands.
"Beedrill? Beedrill Bee Bee! …Aaaah! Bee Bee Bee Drill Bee!" Gloria exclaimed.
"Alright, real funny Gloria." Byleth said.
"Bee Bee Bee! Drill Drill Bee!"
"…Gloria?" Byleth immediately looked concerned.
"Uh… I don't think she can talk in this form." Blake said.
"Hang on, let me break out the translator." Tails said, bringing it out.
"Beedrill Bee Bee Bee Drill Bee!"
"I can't speak human in this form. I turned into a humanoid Beedrill."
"Bee Bee Bee Drill Bee Bee… Beedrill Bee? Bee Bee…"
"It reminds me of those Pokemon cosplayers I've see on the internet… I think Marnie calls them… Gjinka? Such an odd name…"
"Bzzzt, I can't resist this!" Rotom said. "Gloria, the Scottish Bee Pokemon. Gloria are normally peaceful creatures, but becomes easily aggressive when provoked. They have Pin Missile, Fury Attack, Poison Jab and Outrage."
"BEEDRILL BEE BEE DRILL!"
"I am going to skewer that- WHOA, I am NOT saying that!" Tails said.
"Worth it!" Rotom grinned and hid underneath Ruby's pocket.
"Beedrill Bee Bee…"
"Let's just go before I stab something..."
The others walked as the four Bees plus Tails flew across the gap and went inside the hive as a few Flipbugs targeted the four, only to get destroyed by Gloria's Pin Missile. They hopped down a tree trunk and slid down a slope, then the five flew up and landed on a few flower platforms while Ruby used a Ruby Tornado to lift the others off the ground, then they walked ahead where the five flew across the gaps while the others jumped across.
"This honey is a bit too sticky…" Yang complained.
"That's because it's honey, genius." Weiss said as she hopped into the Launch Star and launched off with the others as they landed on a lilypad.
"Water? Great…" Sonic groaned as Byleth hopped into the water, seeing that it's up to her ankles.
"You're good." Byleth said as Sonic nodded and hopped in, as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Beedrill Bee?"
"Afraid of the water?"
"Labyrinth Zone. Don't ask."
"Bee." Gloria nodded as they flew around as an Octoguy spotted them and tried to shoot them down with rocks, but Amy would hammer them away and then Ruby shot them in mid-air.
"Oooh, nice one!" Amy said, high fiving Ruby as the Bees and Tails flew up on the flower platforms and launched away from the Launch Star as the others tried to do the same, but found that the flower platforms wouldn't support them.
"Wait, are you kidding me?" Ruby asked.
"Well, that's annoying." Blake said.
"Hmm…" Byleth would flick her Sword of the Creator at it, latching on to the Launch Star and went up, going into the Launch Star and flew off while Ruby used another Tornado to get the rest up in the air as they flew toward the next planet where they would see the Bros scaling the honeycomb.
"Whoa, there is no way for us to climb that!" Yang said.
"Not with that attitude!" Ruby said as she used her hands to climb up the honeycomb and would start climbing. "See? This is easy!" She said… but immediately slipped and fell to the ground.
"What was that about being easy?" Blake teased.
"Oh hush…" Ruby mumbled, then had an idea and called out Fleur. "Hey, can you use your Vine Whip to get us up there?"
"Ivy!" The Ivysaur nodded as she picked Ruby up and would raise her vines up, but discovered that she couldn't reach that high. "…Ivy…"
Weiss would immediately noticed this and stabbed the Honeycomb with Myrtenaster, creating some ice platforms. "Here, use these!"
"Thank you!" Ruby smiled as Fleur would put her on the ice platforms while Tails flew down to pick Sonic up as Fleur went to pick up the rest, then Ruby called her Ivysaur back as they jumped over to the platforms while the four Bees plus Sonic and Tails met the Honey Queen.
"Hmm? Who might you be, physicians, I presume? No matter… I have the most furious itchiness on my body. Can you examine it for me?"
"Uh… sure." Weiss said as they flew over to investigate as they would uncover Star Chips on her body… but there was just one problem.
"Ah yes, that's the ticket! Ooooh, that tickles!"
The Honey Queen was making it really awkward.
"Beedrill Bee Bee…"
"She's making this really uncomfortable…"
"Agreed." Weiss shuddered.
"We never speak of this again." Mario said.
"What he said." Luigi added as they got all the Star Chips.
"Ooooh, that is most wonderful~!" Honey Queen smiled. "New Bees, we hope we can use your assistance in the near future." She said as a Launch Star appeared before them as they made a beeline toward the Launch Star and flew off with Sonic and Tails right behind them. They would notice they were heading back to the starting planet, but landed on top of a tree… but found some familiar faces.
Pause BGM
"YAAAAAH! BEES!"
BGM: The Toad Brigade (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Captain Toad?" Weiss would ask.
"Huh…? Oh! Weiss! Mario! Luigi! …Uh… who's the girl with you?"
"Gloria." Mario responded.
"And she's a Bee as well? Oh boy…"
"Oh great, she's a Scottish Bee! We're doomed!" Blue Toad groaned as the others soon landed near them.
"Hey, the Toad Brigade!" Yang grinned.
"Heya!" Toadette waved. "We discovered this galaxy… when we ran out of fuel." She said, referring to the Starshroom nearby.
"However, we did come across some neat little aliens." Captain Toad said, as a small white creature flew out of it where it immediately recognized Sonic and Tails, letting out small chirps.

Resume Honeyhive BGM
"Yacker? That you, bud?" Sonic asked. "Hoo man, it's been way too long!" He said, both of them fist bumping as he fist bumped Tails as well. "How ya been?"
"How do you guys know each other?" Byleth asked.
"Oh, we met when Eggman built an intergalactic amusement park above Mobius." Sonic explained. "He was using the Wisps as energy but we freed 'em all."
Yacker would let out a few chirps as Tails looked into the translator. "Eggman captured us again for his galaxy with Bowser, but only me and this Cyan Wisp escaped as far as I can tell. I think there's more that escaped throughout the universe."
"Ah geez, why am I not surprised." Sonic shook his head. "Welp, guess we have to save the Wisps again."
The Cyan Wisp flew over to Ruby, curiously looking at her. "Aww, you look so cute~!" Ruby smiled. "Hi there, name's Ruby Rose!" She said, extending her hand toward it as it examined it before touching her hand, closing its eyes and absorbing himself into Ruby. "Whooooa!" She said, glowing a Cyan-like aura as her eyes glowed cyan as well.
"What the buzz is going on?!" Weiss asked.
"I feel… I feel…" Ruby got on her hands and knees.
"LASER!"
Ruby shot off like a laser, firing herself into the abyss above while leaving a cyan trail with a lot of rose petals behind her before stopping abruptly, in mid-air. "…Uh… uh oh…!" She said, quickly calling her Star to assist her as she flew back and landed safely on the ground. "Woo, what a rush!" She said, dismissing her Star. "What was that all about?"
"Wisps can grant you immense powers." Sonic said. "Drill, Hover, Rocket, Eagle… just to name a few." Sonic explained. "The Cyan Wisp grants you Laser, you can shoot off like a laser."
"Cool!" Ruby said. "…One other question. Did anyone else hear "Laser" or was it just me?"
"Oh that? I just ignore it." Sonic brushed it off as the Cyan Wisp came out of Ruby.
"Oh, I like you a lot." Ruby grinned, patting the Cyan Wisp on the head, causing it to blush a bit. She would then walk over to the other side of the tree and noticed a planet not too far off. "Huh, didn't notice that planet nearby." She mused and looking into the scope of her scythe. "Wait a minute, what the heck is that thing?" She wondered. "It looks like some friends are in trouble!" She said and turned to the Cyan Wisp. "Come on, let's go help 'em!" She said as the Cyan Wisp nodded and went inside Ruby again as she got on the railing.
"What the buzz are you doing?!" Weiss exclaimed. "Get off of that-"
"LASER!"
Ruby shot off like a laser toward the planet in question. "-Railing…" Weiss sighed. "Never mind…" She muttered as she heard roaring from behind as she turned around to see Azure flying toward her. "Oh! Azure! I thought I told you to stay at the Observatory." She said.
"AAAAH! A RATHALOS!" Blue Toad yelled. "First the one that's near the Smash Mansion and now THIS?!"
"Hey hey, relax!" Weiss said. "He's my baby."
"…Your… what now?" Blue Toad blinked.
"Zzzz… Weiss and Neptune had a baby… zzz…" Yellow Toad snored.
"Not like that." Weiss shook her head. "He-… what's that peeking out of your pocket?"
"Oh, just a Power Star." Captain Toad said, pulling it out. "Found it here on the tree to-" He started to float up, along with the rest of the brigade and the Starshroom. "Wha?!"
"Just roll with it." Mario said as they all flew off to the Observatory.
Honeyhive Galaxy Star 2 - Trouble on the Tower - Dorothea, Daisy, Ibuki, Travis, Reds, Pit, Tai, Zwei
"Wonder where this hill leads to?" Daisy wondered as she started climbing the hill, but found it to be slippery and fell into the stream. "Aww…"
"Don't worry, Ibuki's got your back!" Ibuki said, having her hoverboard ready and had the others fly over the hill.
"Thanks Ibuki!" Pit smiled.
"Don't mention it, Pit-chan!" Ibuki smiled.
"I'm liking her more and more!" Sarge said as they walked along the upper level while Tai wandered over to the ledge to see Weiss absorbing the Bee Mushroom.
"Did she just turn into a bee?" Tai wondered.
"Huh, looks like she did." Pit said, and then saw Weiss "stinging" Yang.
"YOOOWCH! WORTH IT!"
"Aaaand something tells me Yang annoyed her with a pun." Pit said.
"Not sure what her deal is. She just needs to have a funny bone in her so she wouldn't "bee" so negative."
Pit looked at Tai in horror. "Oh no, you too?!"
"Who do you think taught Yang?" Tai smirked.
"That… explains so much." Pit muttered as he walked off with Tai, the latter chuckling at his own joke as they noticed a Sling Star up above as they hopped on a spring and launched up a little higher from the Sling Star.
"Oooh! Aren't you just the cutest!" Dorothea said, kneeling down and petting the Wiggler. The Wiggler let out a giggle and nuzzled into her. "Aww, he likes me!"
"Careful now! Those things are monsters!" Grif said. "Sarge pissed one off the other day and he went after me!"
Earlier…
"RRRRGH!" The Wiggler growled, turning red and glaring at Grif and Sarge.
"I told you it needed earmuffs!" Grif said.
"He did it!" Sarge said, pointing to Grif.
"What?! No!" Grif said as the Wiggler chased after him. "AAAAH! NO! TUCKER DID IT! NOT ME! YOWCH!"
Back in the present…
"Aww, but they're the cutest things!" Dorothea smiled, rubbing its head with a smile.
"Ibuki thinks the same!" Ibuki smiled, patting it on the head and then Tai hit the switch as platforms appeared out of thin air as they crossed the bridge as Dorothea was pulled away by Travis as they then started scaling the wall with Ibuki's hoverboard as they walked across the top before finding the Launch Star as they launched ahead to some Hat Planets, as some Flip Bugs panicked and scrambled away from them as they hopped over to the next Hat Planet and walked their way to the other end while working their way around the Wigglers, while Pit, Tai and Zwei had to pull/push Dorothea away from the Wigglers as they launched over to the Rattle Planet.
"Hello, what's this?" Sarge wondered as he touched the ? Coin as a Rainbow Star popped up.
"Oh!" Ibuki went over to grab the Rainbow Star and then absorbed it, glowing a rainbow like aura around her body. "Whooooooa!"
"Oh boy…" Daisy sweatdropped.
"WAHOOOO!" Ibuki jumped through the hole that made her fall to the Observation Deck. "IBUKI IS THE ULTIMATE ROCKSTAAAAAAR!" She yelled, strumming her guitar wildly as rainbows was shooting out in all directions as a rainbow splattered all over the Mandibug, making it a multicolored Mandibug as it looked up at its shell in shock as rainbows splattered everywhere on the Observation Deck, even splattering a Bee.
"Hack! Plepth!" A Bee coughed as he looked at himself. "Aww, I just washed myself just yesterday!" He pouted as Ibuki landed, splattering rainbow colors around her as it disappeared.
"Aww… oh well, Ibuki's still a rockstar!" She grinned as the others landed near her.
"Woo, look at all this color!" Donut said. "Definitely brightens it up!"
"…First people drive on rainbows and now we're splattering rainbows all around us. You gotta be kidding me." Grif said. "What's next, you kiss the rainbow?"
"Kiss the rainbow, taste the rainbow?" Simmons wondered.
"What difference does it make?" Donut asked. "You're still tasting the rainbow regardless!"
"Can't argue with that." Sarge said as they walked ahead while taking out the Mandibugs in the way, including the rainbow colored Mandibug as they hit a switch to activate the windmill. Dorothea, Daisy Travis, Pit, Tai and Zwei were the first ones on the windmill as they rode it up to come across their opponent.

BGM: Rowdy Rumble (Kingdom Hearts II)
Mother-Son Duo - Stink Bug Parent
The Stink Bug Parent charged at them, forcing them to dodge the attack as the child flew over and attempted to bite Travis, but he quickly slashed it in half with his beam katana. The mother's eyes widened in shock before letting out angry Mandibug noises as it charged at him, forcing him to roll out of the way. "What? It's just a bug. You can make another one. You bugs multiply like rabbits all the time!"
"Yeah, but you killed her child!" Pit pointed out as the Mandibug sprouted her wings and flew up, attempting to dive bomb at Pit. "Wah!" He rolled out of the way as Daisy jumped over and kicked the Mandibug, but it swiftly avoided the kick as it swiftly turned around and headbutted the princess, knocking her back as she slid a few feet.
"Have some of this!" Dorothea unleashed an ArcFire spell on her, sending it away as it shook it off and charged at the songstress, making her roll to the side as Travis ran over and slashed at the Mandibug, but it did not get cut in half as it headbutted Travis.
"Pit! Got any clubs I can use?" Tai asked as Pit summoned a Babel Club and tossed it to him. "Thank you!" He smirked as he picked up Zwei. "You ready boy?" He asked as Zwei let out a bark. "Here we go!" he said, tossing Zwei up in the air as he readied the Babel Club and swung it at Zwei, sending him flying like a missile as he slammed into the Mandibug while creating a powerful explosion, making the Mandibug scream in agony before disappearing.
End BGM
Everyone stared in shock as Zwei happily pranced over to Tai, completely unharmed as Tai gave the Babel Club back to Pit as he picked up the Power Star right as the others arrived.
"Hey, what'd we miss?" Ibuki asked.
"Oh, nothing." Tai said as they started to float up while only Daisy had only one thing to say about what she just witness.
"WHAT THE FU-"
Honeyhive Galaxy Star 3 - Big Bad Bugaboom - Ilia, Mercedes, Most of the Blues, Carolina, Hiyoko, Qrow, JNPR, Knuckles
Resume Honeyhive Galaxy BGM
"Why do I get stuck with you people…" Hiyoko complained, referring to the blues.
"The feeling's mutual!" Church said as they walked through the hive where they noticed a Bee next to a Launch Star.
"Aaaagh, the neighbors are up to something! Dang Mandibugs, they don't know their place!" He said and turned to the others. "Can you go keep an eye on 'em?" He asked as they nodded, then they went into the Launch Star and flew off.
"Okay, seriously, where's Caboose? Did he get lost again?" Tucker wondered.
Honeyhive Galaxy Star 6 - Up in the Tree - Caboose, Cream & Cheese
"Woooow! You can fly with your ears?" Caboose asked.
"Yup!" Cream smiled.
"Chao chao!"
"I uh… I hope you don't mind the extra weight."
"Oh, it's no problem. I carry passengers all the time." Cream smiled sweetly.
"Awesome! You are a good precious bunny."
Cream blushed a bit. "O-oh! Thanks…" She said.
"Hmm? Oh! Over there, I see something shining up on that tree!" He said as they flew over to investigate, then Caboose rummaged through the leaves and then pulled out a Power Star.
"Chaoooo!" Cheese cried happily as they started to fly back to the Observatory.
"Weeeee!"
Back with the C team…
"I think he'll be fine." Jaune said as they hopped over to some tiny planets from the Banandelions as they made their way to the massive planet in front of them, and then a massive green Mandibug landed in front of them, letting out a roar.
"Think we found the problem!" Ilia said as they got in their battle stances.
BGM: Yo, Go Crazy! (Shantae and the Pirate's Curse)
Giant Green Bug - Bugaboom
Bugaboom charged at the group, attempting to bite down with his mandibles but they quickly avoided it as Knuckles went underground and then shot out of the ground with an uppercut, knocking Bugaboom on his back as Qrow jumped on the sternum and swung his scythe down to impale it, then jumped off of him as Bugaboom flipped himself around and sprouted wings, flying around and narrowly avoiding a Nosferatu from Mercedes. Bugaboom let out a cry to call upon his Mandibug brethren as they flew out of the tree and tried to tackle them all, but Pyrrha and Nora quickly swatted them away with their Fire and Electric powers.
Bugaboom flew around the tree, dropping bombs on top of them as Ilia grabbed a bomb and turned to Hiyoko. "Hiyoko!" Ilia said, throwing it to Hiyoko as she quickly juggled it with her tessans and then tossed it up where Ren jumped up and kicked it to Bugaboom, hitting him in the face as he fell to the ground in a daze as Jaune and Tucker ran over and slashed at him with their swords and then Nora jumped up in the air and hammered him on the back to deal more damage.
With a loud cry, Bugaboom glowed red and charged at the group with ferocity, forcing them to scramble away as the Mandibugs divebombed them as Hiyoko gracefully flipped around to avoid the Mandibug slamming into her and then slashing at it with Mercedes launching a Fire spell at it, then Church aimed at Bugaboom and fired, but he hit the tree as it rebounded and barely nicked the big Mandibug. "Oh! I almost got him!" He said as it flew over him and dropped a bomb next to him. He quickly kicked it out of the way, hitting a stray Mandibug. "Well, that works! Wasn't even trying to hit him!" He said as he had an idea. "…Wait a minute…" He rubbed his chin in thought and pounded his fist into his palm. "Aha! Of course!"
"Will you focus!" Carolina yelled, quickly grabbing a downed Mandibug and threw it at Bugaboom, but he barrel rolled to avoid the attack. "Agh!" She grumbled as Bugaboom also avoided a lightning attack from Nora as it lunged directly at Jaune, as he readied himself with his axe and got ready to chop down… when suddenly a laser struck through Bugaboom, as it let out a pained cry and fell stunned.
"Huh…?" Jaune wondered before shrugging it off and then swinging his axe down to deal the final blow to Bugaboom, as it let out a loud cry before falling limp in defeat. The remaining Mandibugs panicked and then flew back up into the tree.

"What was that laser?" Church wondered.
"Whew… what a rush!" A voice said as they turned to see Ruby turn herself around with the Cyan Wisp coming out of her. "Hey guys~!" She waved.
"What… Ruby? Where did you come from?" Ilia asked.
"Oh, from the massive tree on the planet we landed on." Ruby smiled as they turned to the massive tree and then turned to Ruby.
"But… that's impossible… how did you…?" Carolina wondered.
"I think from that little guy right there." Qrow said, referring to the Cyan Wisp.
"The Wisps?" Knuckles wondered. "Huh, I might have to ask Sonic." He said as Mercedes grabbed the Power Star.
"Come on, let's go back!" Mercedes smiled as with a nod, they flew back to the Observatory.
I was gonna reveal Yacker and the Cyan Wisp during the Megaleg fight, but... I decided to bring them a little earlier than planned. *shrugs* It's all good!
