Sorry for not uploading in almost a month. Chapter 2 and 3 came out late because I had just figured out how to update chapters. Thank you for your support. Sorry if this chapter is cringeworthy. Since the Aikatsu series is kid-friendly I tried to keep the same childish nature in this chapter. But the action picks up quick.
Chapter 4: Petey On Parade
After about an hour of what seemed like falling. Petey eventually landed in a balcony near the ocean. Petey looked all at his brutality battered body from his previous fight. However. All his deep bloody gashes were gone. His teeth and gums were no longer bleeding. And claw marks that were deep in his neck were nowhere to be seen. Petey was mortally confused, but his lack of intelligence caused Petey Piranha from solving anymore physical science.
A road near a quiet meadow was nearby. So he walked up the road to a large building. Since Petey couldn't tell if it was abandoned or not. He landed in a flowerbed and tried to get some well deserved sleep.
BGM: Resting In Toad Town (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
Petey burrowed into the ground, and didn't notice that his root canals let off offspring to nearby growing roots. We will get back to this later…
Petey's plan was burrowing into the ground to hide himself from the humans. Because of the fiery incident at Saga, Japan. He decided to hide rather than be out in the open. So he wouldn't cause any more accidents. But being a Piranha Plant, ruining your sleep can get you cranky. Which was why disturbing one's rest would cause farmers to put up signs that read: Beware of bites! But waking Petey Piranha caused more than talking or shuffling. It usually involved getting stomped on, or an air horn. Or any Piranha Plants' pet peeve: Shouting.
It was about 8:00 am. And what Petey did not know. Is that he had just landed in the most popular school in the entire town. Four Star Academy. Usually around this time. The students would start arriving for their lessons. But a flower caught a girl's eye. This young woman was wearing the Academy's signature red vest. She had blondish hair with pink tips. And was tied in two pigtails, and had slight pink blush. Her name was Yume Nijino. She stared at the flower's red base with white polka dots. And orangish petals.
"Wow!" She exclaimed. "I never knew flowers grew that big!" She has drawn a crowd. Who they admired the giant flower. But Yume's eyes widened when she realized what time it is. "Oh no!" She exclaimed. "We're going to be late!" So all the girls rushed towards the entrance. Later during her lunch break Yume brought one of her friends, she had magenta hair, tied in a blue bow. She had blue eyes, her name was Laura Sakuraba.
"Are you sure this isn't fake?" Laura asked. "Like a cardboard cutout or something?"
"Mhm!" Yume replied cheerfully. "The petals were blowing in the wind a moment ago."
Indeed. His petals were blowing in the 5mph wind. This was enough for Laura to believe. They both stood there admiring the nature phenomenon that was happening in their schoolyard.
"Hey, Hey!" She asked Laura, the latter replied "hmm?"
"Maybe do you want to send a picture of it to her?" Yume asked.
"Ohhh. Good idea. I'll bet she'll like it." Laura replied. They both took a selfie in front of Petey's head. And sent it. But they jumped to the sound of her phone-like-device. Ringing. From a woman named. Elza Forte.
"Where are you?" She replied over the phone. "Are you done with lunch?"
"Oh! Y-yes Ma'am. We just got done." Nervousness was obvious in her voice.
"Okay If your done, then come to sector 4-B. We got that big performance with them tonight remember? I'll teach you the skills so your ready. Haven't you forgotten?" Elza replied. Obviously knowing that she wasn't done.
"Well bring your lunch and come." She said. Yume hung up the phone. And her and Laura sprinted towards the school again.
BGM Ends
Petey has just finished his nap. And got up, then stretched before flapping his leaves and flying away. Meanwhile the roots continued to bubble. Petey set off towards a town far in the distance. It had a giant bell and many Cherry Blossom Trees. So Petey headed off their. Not knowing what he just did. And set off again.
Once arriving. He plunked down in the middle of another schoolyard. In another flower field. Hoping that he'd get just of a good rest like before. But what he didn't know is that he had just plunked down in the middle of the school day, of another famous idol school. Star Harmony Academy.
BGM: Resting in Toad Town (Inside Bowser) (Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
During their break a girl with long fluffy pink hair with a gradient of yellow near the edges. Her best friend had straight blue hair with gradient purple tips. Their names were in the order of appearance. Aine Yuuki and Mio Minato. They both stared at the giant flower, Aine kept looked at her also phone-like-device and the back of Petey's head.
"Is this the flower Yume was talking about?" Mio asked.
Other children gathered towards the flower. But didn't cause too much commotion. Or commotion to wake Petey up.
"Wow! Incredible!" Aine exclaimed. "I guess she wasn't telling a fib!"
"Guess not." Mio added.
Two other girls. With the names of; Maika Chōno and Ema Hinata. Ema had yellow hair braided in two large pigtails. Maika has messy purple hair. And bun tied by a blue ribbon. Ema had lime green eyes and Maika had sparkly blue eyes.
"Hey!~" Ema shouted while running up to her friends. "What's goin' on?"
"What's all the commotion?" Asked Maika puzzled.
"There's this humongous flower!" Exclaimed Aine. "Yume sent me a picture of it half an hour ago!"
"So how did it end up here?" Asked Ema and Maika.
"Don't know" shrugged Mio. "Magic I guess."
Eventually Pure Palette and Honey Cat's manager; Tamaki Enjōji. "Hey! We've got a meeting about your concert tonight! Plus on top of that we got dance lessons." Tamaki shouted from afar
"Coming!" They all shouted. And quickly rushed inside. Perhaps they forgot...
Petey on the other hand just woke up. His body did not feel any human activity nearby. But the offspring near the growing flower roots continued to bubble up.
Tamaki sat in her chair and sighed. "You girls need to keep track of your schedule..."
"Y-yes ma'am!" The four females replied.
Tamaki just sighed. "Well that's usual of you four. Just go into the studio and get prepped for your concert."
Once down the hall near the dancing studio. Ema and Maika started heading towards the gymnasium.
"We'll catch you later!" Shouted Maika. "We've got that Superstar appeal to practice!" Replied Ema.
"Sure!" Mio shouted back, Aine nodded.
"Hey, I wonder where Sakuya and Kaguya are." Aine trailed off.
"They aren't in this show remember? Their probably out and about or just at home." Mio replied.
After Aine and Mio were in the dance studio. They started practicing their moves for a while, after about an hour, they decided to take a break. But suddenly Aine's Phone-like-device. Rung.
"AHHhh!" Shrieked Aine. "Oh man, that startled me..."
Mio checked hers too. "Hey, Miria and Karen are calling."
Aine and Mio answered, unaware of roots growing on a potted flower at a substantial rate outside the window.
"Yes? Hello?" Answered Aine.
(Over the phone) "Hey! Aine, did ya get your practicing done yet?" Mirai asked.
"Umm, we're just taking a break." Mio replied. "What's up?"
"Well Karen and I need you for a quick second. Got a minute?" Mirai said.
"Sure! Where do you want to meet us?" Aine answered.
"Umm, how about your place?" Mirai suggested.
"Okay, we'll be right over." Mio said. Then Aine hung up.
"Okay let's go!" Aine shouted. And they ran off. But the roots on the potted flower continued to grow. And essentially started moving.
BGM Ends.
Our scenery goes back towards Four Star Academy. Later in the day, but after school.
"Huh?!" Asked Yume. "Where's that flower at?" The 'flower' Yume was talking about was nowhere to be found.
Elza Forte and Rei Kizaki dropped by to see what they were talking about. But utterly confused, because this potential 'flower' was nowhere in sight.
"Umm, are you sure there was a giant flower? Or maybe it was your imagination?" Rei asked.
"No, no! It was real... but I wonder why it's gone." Yume wondered.
Just then a low groan was heard from the flowers.
"Hey, is that what you're talking about?" Elza shuttered.
BGM: Bowser's Coming! (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)
When the group looked. One more groan was heard. Then two monstrous growls echoed throughout the area. This was essentially coming from the two bubbling roots from the offspring earlier. Finally the head of the root turned red, and grew multiple white polka dots. Grew white lips with razor sharp teeth.
It hissed at the group. Before starting to try to chomp them.
"Wh-What are those?" Elza panicked. Trying to calm herself and the rest of the group.
"If we don't find a way to exterminate them, it could be a problem to the Academy!" Rei shouted.
This also started to happen at Star Harmony Academy. Aine and Mio were stopped by a growing root and a walking flowerpot.
"What's going on?" Mio asked. "Miria if that's you! This isn't funny!"
The flower only growled in response and also grew a reddish head with white polka dots, and formed razor sharp teeth. The other was a result of a hybrid. A growing bean plant. And a growing plant. Which also grew the same as the latter.
Soon Ema, Maika and Tamaki ran before them, in response to Aine's scream.
"What's wrong?!" Tamaki asked.
Aine, who was to scared to speak. Pointed at two growing plants.
Eventually they fully grown and hissed at them. And both slowly started walking towards them.
"Um, H-hello Coco-chan." Aine trembled
"I'm Coco!" A android like figured appeared on Aine's phone. In the shape of a human. She had metallic blonde hair bunched up in a large ponytail on the side. And wore a white sleeveless dress with multiple colors.
"Um, can you tell me what those are?" Mio asked.
"As you Cocommand! Um. EHHHH?! ARE THOSE WALKING PLANTS?!" Coco shouted.
"So I guess she doesn't know either..." Tamaki responded.
"No worries!" Coco announced. "I found, for some reason, a result on the internet! Do you want me to read it, hopefully before they eat us."
"YES HURRY!" Ema shouted.
"Um, I'm processing data. This might take awhil- oh wait! I got it downloaded, lemme read it to you!" Coco stated. "Apparently, these two are hostile plants from the... Mushroom Kingdom?"
"Mushroom Kingdom?" Aine asked puzzled. "Isn't that about a game where a tiny man who where's a red cap with a M printed on it. Jumps around and hits giant question blocks with his head?"
"That's it exactly!" Coco announced.
"But how'd they end up here?" Maika asked.
"Good question, not even Coco can answer that..." Coco said sadly. "Anyway according to the database. They appear to be known as: Piranha Plants."
"Piranha Plant?" The gang said all together.
It was true, the two growing flower roots took shape of a Potted Piranha Plant, also known as Piranha Plant. And the other who took a hybrid shape of a growing bean plant was known as Piranha Bean. The only difference between the two was Piranha Bean had the same head. But a lanky body, with leaf-like arms and pants similar to Petey Piranha. Plus Piranha Plant looked angry while Piranha Bean looked almost sick or sad.
Piranha Plant looked like he was going to bite and Piranha Bean was holding something fiery in his mouth. But then both at a 'hurt' like expression on their faces. Before being blown far away with loud cries of pain. And then a loud 'THUD'.
BGM Ends
Everyone had a shocked until they realized it was Mirai with her Lucky Beam rod, who swatted them away with all her strength.
"Well we don't have to worry about those again right?" Mirai asked.
"Is everyone okay?" Asked Karen with concern.
"Uh, yeah we're fine." Ema responded trying smile, but she still had fear.
"Well hopefully we don't see those again..." said a young woman with fiery hair gradients tied ina massive ponytail with the name of Hibiki Tenshō and her friend next to her; Alicia Charlotte, who had blue hair, had neatly short but tied hair. And her skin seemed oddly pale.
"I just got a report from Elza Forte from Four Star Academy." Alicia said calmly. "That they saw similar figures near there. They managed to kill them with a plant exterminator. Also they will be here within thirty minutes."
"Awesome! Oh wait, where's that new transfer student and Wakaba?" Mirai asked.
While everyone wonder where their friend was. Only Tamaki knew where the two happened to be.
"I'll bet Wakaba is helping that student get here." Tamaki sighed. "Mushirō Haryū, Sakuya and Kaguya might be with them too."
BGM: Resting In Toad Town (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
Wakaba Harukaze. A young girl with brown hair, two pigtails tied in leaf-like buns. And emerald green eyes. Was helping a new transfer student Raki Kiseki. She has magenta eyes, bronze hair tied in thick pigtails (seems like everyone wears pigtails) and holds it with a crimson headband tied with a ribbon. Along with 2 high school students named Sakuya Shirayuri and Kaguya Shirayuri. Who have pink eyes and long purple with gradient blue hair. That's the best description I'll give you because I don't have time for this. Along with their manager Mushirō Haryū who is simply shortened to Haryu. And his pet hedgehog.
"So did you say the Star Harmony Academy high school?" Sakuya asked while holding a map.
"Yeah, we've got lost too. Unlucky!" Whined Raki.
Suddenly a silhouette with a long neck was visible in the distance. It was Piranha Bean. Who had gotten lost along with his friend Piranha Plant.
"Pardon us sir." Kaguya asked Piranha Bean. "But do you know where Star Harmony Academy from here is?"
Piranha Bean studied them, accidentally fell asleep. Then woke himself up.
"I guess this is his way of speaking?" Asked Wakaba curiously.
Eventually Piranha Bean made a gurgling sound and pointed a leaf in a direction facing east.
"Thank you!" Called out Sakuya.
Just as they headed off. They stopped to study Piranha Bean. Because the sudden appearance of him didn't just go through their brain yet. But he had already waddled off.
"I guess that was our imagination." Haryū said.
After about 5 minutes of walking. They emerged from the forest nearby, right in front of them was the Academy.
"Wahoo! We made it!" Cheered Wakaba.
Almost as soon as they got over to the school a limo parked nearby. And 5 people stepped out.
"Hey! Yume's here!" Aine said excitedly while running over to her.
"Hey Aine!" Yume said while hugging her. "It's been awhile!"
"Did a crazy thing happen at your Academy, like what happened to ours?" Aine asked.
"What was that?" Asked a young girl who stepped out. Her name was Koharu Nanakura. She had crimson glasses and light magenta hair. Short but straight.
Aine and Mio told what had happened. A potted Piranha known as Piranha Plant and his friend Piranha Bean almost ate them, or cooked them, then ate them. Before Mirai came and performed a perfect 360 no-scope swat at them. Which sent them towards the forest.
"I guess it wasn't a dream..." Haryū said shockingly.
"Huh? You saw them too?" Tamaki asked.
"Yeah, I thought I saw a weird looking disembodied plant with a long neck." Haryū told everyone. "It told us how to get here. This little one got lost." He patted Raki's head.
Raki blushed. "Heh heh, I lost my map. And I forgot about the signs." Raki said nervously.
"Well you can't be perfect when your a transfer student." Tamaki sighed. "Everyone's like that"
Two more people stepped out the limo. It was Rei Kizaki and Elza Forte. Rei had short messy hair colored white. Elza had reddish hair with a pink gradient. It was long and curly. Laura Sakuraba was there too.
"About that whole plant thing." Elza announced. "A young lady named Ichigo Hoshimiya over at starlight school. She did not see any activity there."
"What a relief..." Tamaki sighed. "I got a headache, Hey Haryū, do you have any painkillers?"
"Not at the moment." He replied.
"Well then. Your concert is at eight o'clock PM. All of you should get practicing." Tamaki pointed at Pure Palette, Honey Cat and Reflect Moon. "Well then, I Believe, Love Me Tear. And you girls. Do you want to use the Academy's Studios? Their open if you'd like."
"Sure, thank you very much." Rei replied while bowing.
The girls rushed inside to get their makeup and hair done. And practiced awhile before the show.
BGM Ends.
At seven-thirty. The auditorium was packed. Nearly everyone in Japan was there. The girls arrived early to get their makeup and hair checked before going on stage.
"You girls want anything to eat?" Tamaki suggested. "I have money if you need it."
"No thank you, but thanks." Mio replied. "We've got some autographs to sign."
Tamaki nodded. "Okay if you need anything just ask me."
After the girls left. Haryū rushed in. His hedgehog seemed just as nervous, making nervous squeaks. "Did you hear the news?" He panted.
"No, what's up?" Tamaki replied, who was now nervous.
"Apparently the stage, according to the committee." He gasped. "Unstable."
"What?!" Tamaki gasped. "If anything happens to those girls on the stage..."
"They said it wouldn't be too bad. The outdoor stage is fine. But a unknown life-form was detected according to security. If it was a human, they would've told us by now." Haryū said.
"Hmm, if the stage is fine. How is it unstable?" She asked.
"I don't know. But they said that the latter was on the peak of it. They can't reach it. But if anything happens they said stay alert." He replied.
Now both Reflect Moon and Pure Palette's managers were nervous of what fate could happen.
Meanwhile all the girls were getting ready for their performance. They all had their selected Aikastu Cards ready.
"Okay are you all ready?" Announced Aine excitedly.
"Yes!" They all announced at the same time.
Once they got their dresses, shoes, headbands and shirts on. Doors appeared like magic. And they stepped on stage. The crowd cheered as they begun their performance. Just as the music started. It stopped.
"What's happening?" Asked Aine who was now in her Sugar Medley Link-Coord.
"I don't know" Mio responded who was also in her Material Color Link-Coord.
Everyone was confused. But let's jump back a few frames.
Petey Piranha who everyone thought was gone. Was the life that was detected on the stage's roof. Just as the music started. Hey jumped panicked out of his beauty sleep. And angrily looked down at our Aikastu Girls. And bit off the speakers blaring the music. And jumped down.
And with a massive thud he landed and angrily growled. Facing the nervous girls. He had totally forgotten his motive to avoid humans. Now he was awake and out for revenge.
"H-hey, isn't that, that huge flower earlier?" Trembled Wakaba.
Petey roared which shook the entire outdoor auditorium. Everyone was panicking and were advised to stay calm and remain seated. As the security guards rushed towards the danger. One was trying to escort the girls towards safety while one pointed his AK-47 at Petey.
"Stand down creature!" He said with confidence.
Petey angrily a monstrous roar which he bared his teeth, his salivating gums and razor sharp teeth. Before shooting a cannonball out of his mouth. Which struck both the guards. Sending them flying with smoke trails. Sakuya and Karen were terrified as they watched in horror. Before a slam of what was a cage was heard. Mirai and Karen both turned slowly with huge widened eyes. To see Alicia and Elza screaming in the left cage and Hibiki and Rei nervously panicking but trying to keep calm. Everyone was in shock and watched in horror as Petey slammed both his cages together, which created sparks and roared the most terrifying roar Aine, Mio, Ema, Maika, Sakuya, Kaguya, Mirai, Karen, Yume, Laura, Koharu, Raki and Wakaba had ever heard. Some have watched monster movies where the monster roared. But nothing was as terrifying and real as this one. While everyone trembled. Mirai and Karen angrily stood in 'battle stances' and Mirai was the first to scream.
"LET THEM GO!" She screamed.
"Don't make me get serious, I'd hate to hurt anyone." Karen said in a calm but terrifying tone no one heard her make.
Petey angrily clenched his teeth before growling. And he shrieked at the top of his lungs.
"Yeah that's right! Be afraid!" Wakaba and Raki said.
But what was going to happen next was unthinkable. This wasn't a scared roar. In fact it was a battle scream. Before them 2 sub-Piranha Plants broke through the stage. One colored normal, the other colored black with orange dots. A pink Piranha Creeper sloshed towards Petey. Munchers and Nipper Scores grew near the Piranha Plant minions. Stalking Piranha Plants waddled over. A Jumping Piranha Plant glided down. Then the unthinkable happened.
The two plants Aine and Mio saw earlier hopped in. They could tell what ranks they were.
Piranha Bean was like a Corporal and the Potted Piranha who was named Piranha Plant. Obviously took the role of a general. Corporal Piranha Bean and General Piranha Plant.
Every girl knew what Petey had done. And realized what just happened. And they shouted and pointed at Petey Piranha at the same time.
"HE'S THE KING!"
BGM: Tough Guy Alert! (Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
"Umm, does anyone know how to fight?" Yume asked.
Koharu nervously shook her head. And behind Rei. She held out her arms to protect her.
"Only in video games unfortunately." Ema shouted.
"Girls!" Tamaki And Haryū shouted. "Remember your athletic abilities!"
The Fire Piranha Plant shot a fast fireball at them. But they got out of the way just in time.
"Okay girls!" Aine shouted while performing a Magical Girl battle stance. "Let's-a Go!"
"Quit fooling around! AND GET US OUT OF HERE!" Alicia screamed.
"Let's do this!" Maika agreed.
Petey attacked first, he swung Hibiki's cage towards Sakuya and Kaguya. They jumped, grabbed hands and performed a drill like hit drop on the cage. It rattled which caused Petey to loose his balance.
"Okay! I got a plan!" Karen announced. "The cage seems unstable. If he figures it out. We can only save one cage."
"Let's keep attacking them then!" Miria shouted.
"Which one?" Rei asked.
"ANYONE!" Elza impatiently shouted.
While Petey was staggering to get back up. Ema and Koharu got an idea. A lightbulb appeared above their heads.
"I've seen this before!" Ema excitedly shouted. "Me too!" Koharu exclaimed. Koharu jumped on Ema's shoulders. Ema bounced off. And Koharu propelled them upwards. While doing summersaults in the air. Before both landing on his belly. In which his reaction was coughing up water and coins. The audience cheered.
"We call it, Super Bounce Sisters!" Ema shouted.
"Performing Superstar Saga moves are we?" Mirai babyishly said. "Don't leave us out!"
"Indeed." Elza said.
Mirai jumped. And Elza kept hurling Mirai upwards three times. Before Mirai did a magnificent spin unto Petey's belly.
"Wahoo! That was fun!" Mirai shouted.
"Yes. We call it, hmm." Elza pondered.
"Super Splash Sisters!" Mirai finished.
The whole audience cheered. This was quite the performance. Special Aikastu appeals that morphed into seriously awesome attacks. Even Haryū and Tamaki were surprised. They never knew what their girls were capable of.
Petey on the other hand was not impressed. He growled and roared again. This time while Raki and Wakaba were cheering on their friends. Petey was aware that they weren't paying attention. As a result he smacked them square in the face. They got sent back a ways. Before coming to a stop.
"Ow! Ow! Owie!" Raki cried while rubbing her nose. Wakaba was doing the same.
"Are you two okay?" Karen and Sakuya asked.
Raki groaned in response. Eventually Wakaba stated. "Wow his cages sure are hard." Rubbing her nose.
"Karen?" Mirai asked while putting a hand on her shoulder. Grinning almost devilish.
"Mirai." Karen finalized. "Okay you." Karen shouted at Petey Piranha. "You want to see me serious? Well I'm sorry but I need our friends back."
Karen pulled out a shiny hammer and hit Mirai so hard she burrowed into the ground. But she shuffled over to Petey before jumping, punching him into the air. Karen hit Miria again, and repeated it five times. Petey lost his balance again. And was stunned with shiny stars circling his head. His Belly Button outie was exposed.
"Hey Ema!" Aine shouted. "I got an idea! Curl up into a ball!"
"Sure but why?" Ema asked. Before Ema could say anything else. Aine took out her shiny hammer as well. Bounced the Ema ball and stoked repeatedly at Petey's Outie. Five times until she used all her strength to make Ema's ball the force of a fireball.
Petey cried in pain. And the audience went wild. It was basically a performance and a battle.
"We call it Super Chopper Sisters!" Mirai and Karen shouted.
"And Super Knockback Sisters!" Aine repeated.
"Hey where'd you get that hammer?" Yume asked.
"Oh I bought a hammer in a case of an emergency. But I decorated it with jewels and crystals!"
"Same!" Everyone shouted. And they all started laughing.
"Hey where's that flower guy?" Koharu asked.
Before they could answer a large shadow appeared below them. They couldn't get out of the way in time before Petey slammed his cages to the ground. Almost so hard that the stage nearly collapsed. Petey then got back up before angrily turning towards our idols.
Raki was nearby. She jumped as highest she could. Before Petey could pull up his shorts to hide his weak spot. She jumped on it. This caused him to cough up a Goomba. The Goomba chased Wakaba around trying to headbutt her.
"What's this now?" Wakaba cried as she was chased by the Goomba.
Petey staggered backwards and the idols groaned in pain because of Petey's ground pound. Petey then got an idea. He jiggled the cages, which caused some of the girls inside to scream or cry. Then Petey slammed them so hard on the ground. One cracked, while a shockwave Knocked the other idols towards the ground.
"You need to hit Hibiki and Rei's cage!" Elza screamed.
"On it!" Maika replied.
Petey looked like he was going to vomit or shoot a fireball. But instead he hurled up some of Bowser's Minions. Which included, Goombas, Goombrats, Koopa Troopa, Boos and Shy Guys. Each group had a captain with a flag stuck in its head. The Goomba and Goombrats' group was relatively large. Because both enemies were grouped together. But Captain Goomba was in charge of his squad.
"What are these now?" Karen said confused.
"How dare you?" Captain Goomba shouted. "You don't hurt Bowser's secondary officer!"
Petey made an angry sound before pointing his leaf at the girls. They raised their fists. As an army of Piranha Plants and enemies charged towards them. They were on Minion Turf.
BGM: This is Minion Turf! (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions)
Goombas repeatedly head butted a few idols. Making them loose their balance. While Koopa Troopas kept swinging their shells in their direction. Goombrats would outsmart some.
"There's to many of them!" Ema shouted.
"Wait!" Aine shouted and looked at Raki. "Isn't your big sister an Aikastu engineer?"
"Yeah, Onii-Chan works in the hardware. So like cards and-"
"Okay can you tell her that we need Aikatsu Cards, one with a orange flower on it and one with a blue flower on it?" Aine asked her,
"Sure! She's right over here!" Raki said before running backstage.
"Where do you think your going?" Captain Shy Guy shouted before running after her with a Shy Guy Minion with a Bullet Bill Blaster.
"Onii-Chan?!" Raki shouted "where are you?"
"Over here" said a voice,
"You stop right there!" Captain Shy Guy shouted.
"AHHH!" Raki yelped before running towards multiple computer monitors.
Captain Shy Guy pointed his stub at Raki and a Bullet Bill fired. Raki ducked it. And It hit a couple of crates and exploded.
"Hey Onii-Chan!" Raki panted. "We need a couple of cards."
"What kind?" She asked.
"Same with a orange flower and another with a blue one."
Raki's sister worked on it, while Raki kept the Shy Guys' busy. Bullet Bills and AIM Bills fired left and right. Luckily there weren't Banzai Bills or AIM Banzais.
"Here!" Raki's sister shouted. And she threw them towards Raki.
Raki ran out and peaked behind the curtain. The other Shy Guys we're getting beat up. Almost all the Koopas and Goombas were missing.
"We need reinforcement!" Captain Goomba shouted.
Soon Hammer Bros. Para Goombas and Troopas, even a Big-Tail Goomba came, along with Galoombas and Goombuds. Some more Shy Guy armies appeared. Some were carrying Red Bullet Bill Blasters. The Bulls-eye Blaster. Some Blue Shy Guys caring giant metal balls on chains. And a Green Shy Guy carrying a backpack with a flag that had Bowser's logo on it.
It was the sergeant Minion: Sergeant Guy.
He was pushing a massive Bill Blaster. Which surprised the idols.
"Wow you need reinforcements? You weaklings- OW!" Before Mirai could finish. A Hammer Bro chucked a hammer at her.
"Ok you want a fight? You got one!" She shouted back.
She turned to see the Big-tail Goomba clobbering Ema. And Wakaba trying to run away from 3 AIM Bills. But they kept homing on her.
Sergeant Guy laughed and mocked Mirai. "You wanted a fight? Well you got one!"
Mirai held up her fist in response. Before Raki came back carrying a bunch of cards.
"Okay I think there's one of each for everyone!" She shouted. And the cards Immediately locked in their hands.
"Aine!" Mio shouted.
"Mio!" Aine shouted back.
Aine and Mio threw their cards in the air. Both cards seemed familiar. One had a fire flower on it the other had an ice flower.
Soon Aine's dress turned red and some of the palettes turned white and the plaid had turned to incinerating Lava. Her hair had turned white with red gradient at the ends. she now had crimsoned blush.
Mio's outfit had turned white with some of the palettes had turned blue. And some of the patterns turned to ice. Her hair turned snowy white and a blue gradient at the end. She also had pink blush.
"Fire Aine and Ice Mio?!" Everyone shouted.
Mio and Aine had two attacks up their sleeve. Mio took out her hammer and Aine started repeatedly throwing fireballs in Mio's direction. The mini fireballs had grouped together into one giant lava fireball. Eventually Mio Stuck it. Some fire came out striking multiple enemies, while the big fireball came back, Mio chucked it into the air and Aine threw it like a volleyball. It exploded. Causing almost a Army's worth of enemies sent flying.
Then Aine took out her hammer. While Mio charged an iceball in her hands. When it was incinerated with icy cold. Aine struck Mio. She shuffled over to the Hammer Bros. Big-tail Goomba and the Galoombas and Goombuds. Then she jumped. It created icy electricity. Shocking all the enemies. Then Mio bounced back. While charging another iceball. Aine grabbed ahold of Mio's feet and started swinging her, until she threw her at the rest of the army. Mio threw her iceball and it exploded in an icy electric shockwave. The rest of the enemies were sent flying and disappeared in thin air.
All that was left was Sergeant Guy, the Banzai Bill Blaster, Corporal Piranha Bean, General Piranha Plant and Petey Piranha.
Sergeant Guy saw an opening and jumped onto the Banzai Blaster. And ground pounded on it. Causing a giant Bullet Bill known as the Banzai Bill to be launched. It was slower but had a maniacal smile. White repeatedly rotating. Everyone screamed. Because if it blew it. The shockwave would kill everyone.
But Aine and Mio took charge. Mio threw an iceball which froze the Banzai Bill, it was about to break when Aine turned it around. And as it broke she threw a fireball at it. Causing it to turn red and start beeping a warning sound repeatedly. It landed back in it's launcher. Exploding it to bits. And sending Sergeant Guy flying. That was also when Aine and Mio's powers returned to normal. And their palettes back to their original color.
BGM Ends. And previous BGM starts.
Petey was stunned. But didn't see the incoming response.
While that was happening. Sakuya and Kaguya were going to perform an attack of their own. Kaguya held her arms to catch Sakuya who was repeatedly spinning with her hammer out. And when Petey wasn't looking. They kept ramming into the cracked cage. Until it shattered. And Hibiki and Rei were free.
The crowd went berserk. Cheering like they saw the Milky Way live.
"We call ours. Fire and Super Fire Sisters!" Aine shouted.
"Thunder and Super Thunder Sisters! Mio shouted as well.
"Umm. Super Cyclone Sisters?" Sakuya said nervously.
"That's exactly it Big sister!" Kaguya replied.
Petey wasn't happy with this response. Now it was a full out battle.
Piranha Bean hurled a fireball at Wakaba and Raki who weren't paying attention. Causing them to nearly get hit.
Piranha Plant spit a spiky ball out of his mouth and blew it on Sakuya's head. She wasn't bleeding but such brute force nearly knocked her out.
Petey shot three fireballs at Mio, Ema, and Koharu. Before nearly blowing hell out of his mouth on the curtain. Then breathed as much fire as he could onto the last remaining cage. And slamming it hard onto the ground. Alicia who had fainted to all the swinging Petey was doing with her cage. But with the blunt force of breaking it. Knocked both Alicia and Elza out.
Fire surrounded the stage. It was almost like standing in hell. Almost everything was caught on fire. (Not the audience) before the girls realized it was all a diversion.
It was a trap.
BGM: Never Let Up! (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)
Petey first attack by swinging his leaves to create mini tornadoes, although it hit nobody. It boomeranged right back and propelled Aine and Maika upwards. This was Petey's plan to try and get them to be engulfed into the inferno behind them.
Elsewhere Sakuya, Kaguya, Mirai, Karen, Wakaba, Raki, Elza and Rei were trapped behind the flames which seemed to never be ending.
"We'll try to find a way around!" Elza shouted. "Good luck!" And they ran off.
"Uh, Yeah Okay!" Ema shouted back.
Meanwhile Aine was struggling to hold off Piranha Plant. She was holding his mouth so he wouldn't bite. But his strength was stronger that hers.
"Aine!" Yume shouted before performing a drop kick into Piranha Plant's face.
"I'm fine, I think." She staggered.
Piranha Bean reinforced Piranha Plant. He shot a fireball that hit Koharu in the shoulder. It burned but it wasn't enough to permanently damage her.
"KOHARU!" Yume shouted.
When Maika tried to dive and tackle Petey. He flapped his leaves and descended into the air.
"There's no way he's running away..." Maika commented. It was true. Petey only went up five feet. Before blocks appeared and he stood on them.
"So that's how he got from Four Star Academy to Star Harmony Academy so quickly." Mio figured out.
Then Petey leapt off the block platforms and front flipped in the air. To try and crush Koharu and Yume with his weight. But in the neck of time. Alicia and Elza pushed them out of the way.
Petey growled before walking backwards. Then immediately charging forwards to ram into Ema and Maika. They dodged him and he accidentally walked into the inferno. He yelped and landed not to far from them.
"Okay," Alicia suggested. "Should we use our Jeweling Dresses to see if they give more power?"
"Sure we got our PR Coord dresses." Koharu said. "We can use thos-" before she could finish. Petey inhaled a whirlwind in his mouth. And sucked all the cards into a usable block. Which meant Petey can use the cards to their advantage.
"What?!" Yume exclaimed.
"Oh, No!" Hibiki yelled.
Petey made a sinister grin. Before he grabbed Aine's Jeweling card. Before a power-up noise occurred. Petey was now wearing Aine's Jeweling dress. While Piranha Plant and Bean were cackling along with Petey.
Since the dress was included with Aine's traits. Petey started spinning until it was like looking at a drill. And he charged forward. Nearly hitting everyone. But hitting the fire just caused him to bounce off of it, like it was a bumper.
Eventually Petey stopped from the dizziness and took out Mio's dress. Once he was powered up. He jumped up high. Before trying to crash into everyone and everything in his path. He shot an iceball in Alicia's direction. It caused her foot to be frozen.
"Gah! Oh no." She shrieked.
"Alicia!" Hibiki yelled. "I can't loose you again!"
What they didn't realize is that Petey had put on Hibiki's dress. And was charging something hellish in his mouth. Since Hibiki's dress contained fire-like elements. This caused Petey's Fire breath to increase tenfold.
"Well, I guess this is The End." Aine cried. They all closed their eyes and waited to be burnt to a crisp.
But something else happened. Petey was loosing his balance, something had pushed him hard.
It was the Aikastu Navy: Coco.
"Coco-Chan?" Aine exclaimed.
"Coco can help too!" She said while pushing Petey as hard as she could.
Petey was about to maintain his balance when a door appeared out of nowhere. It was the door that appeared when Aine, Mio and Raki used to enter the Aikastu multiverse. But the portal looked more like a dimensional portal instead.
"Huh?!" Raki shouted. "That door again?"
Petey kept staggering until he slipped on a loose board. And he fell in. Making a monstrous scream as he finally disappeared and the door closed with a SLAM! And disappeared.
The fire disappeared and returned to normal. The Piranha Plants were terrified. Piranha Bean bit onto Piranha Plant's pot. And Piranha Plant, Piranhacoptered out of the scene.
Everyone was confused. No one had won or lost. It ended in a draw. But no one could maintain what had just happened.
BGM Ends.
TO BE CONTINUED…
I have nothing to say much about this chapter. Other than I enjoyed writing it. The battle was supposed to be longer. But I figured writing for 3 days and deleting the story twice was enough. I hope you enjoyed it.
