BGM: Rosalina in the Observatory 3 (Super Mario Galaxy)
Rosalina turned around to see everyone coming back to the Observatory, along with seeing some new faces. "You must be Reimu and Princess Peach that everyone's been talking about so much." She said.
"Yup, that's us!" Peach grinned. "And you are…?"
"I am Rosalina, guardian of the Cosmos." Rosalina introduced herself.
"Calls herself a princess too." Marisa added.
"Really?! A fellow princess?!" Peach exclaimed. "Oh, that's so cool!"
"You… didn't even notice the crown?" Mario asked.
Peach blushed. "Not really…"
At this moment, they heard the sounds of an airship as they turned over to see the Halberd flying in. "Poyo!" Kirby called out from the top of the airship while the Lor Starcutter was right behind them.
"Let's go somewhere else." Rosalina explained. "I imagine we're crowding Dreamland's airspace." She said as they nodded and then the Observatory flew off back to it's original spot.
A few minutes later…
"So this thing is capable of traveling to the center of the universe." Dedede said, folding his arms in thought while Bandana Dee and Escargoon also joined them. "You already got all the Grand Stars that you need, not to mention the Power Stars that were required to get this thing back up and runnin'. So why aren't we going to defeat that big ol' doofus?"
"It is likely because the more Power Stars are collected, the more powerful the Observatory will be." Meta Knight said after parking his Halberd near the Observatory.
"He is correct." Rosalina said.
"So we knock out the remaining Power Stars before we tackle the big idiot himself." Marisa said. "I like the sound of that."
"I owe him a beating after he sapped some of my strength." Reimu said. "After all, I showed Kamek what I'm capable of."
"Let me guess, Kamek knocked you down too?"
"Nope, I knocked him down easily." Reimu grinned. "Did you have an easy time with him?"
Marisa sweatdropped. "I wouldn't say easy…"
"She got beat up badly." Flandre grinned.
"Not helping! …Wait, how did you know?"
"Sakuya told us after we saved her."
Reimu looked at Marisa in surprise. "You lost to him?"
"I… might have underestimated him." Marisa blushed in embarrassment.
"Don't feel too bad. We underestimated what he was capable of when we first fought him too." Luigi said.
Mario nodded. "It could've been worse. Kammy could've been there too."
"…I don't want to know who this Kammy is."
"Poyo…" Kirby quietly said, looking at Rosalina. "Poyo Poyo?" He tilted his whole body, wondering if he forgot something.
"Hmm?" Rosalina looked down at the puffball. "Oh, hello little one." She said and then knelt down. "You're a cute little one, aren't you?"
"Poyo!" Kirby smiled.
Rosalina chuckled and then patted his head with a smile before standing up straight. "Alright, now let's get some more-" A siren went off, interrupting Rosalina.
"What's going on?" Luigi asked.
"We got multiple Prankster Comets inbound!" Polari exclaimed. "They're over all the major galaxies in the area! In fact, some of them are coinciding with the Cosmic Comets in Gold Leaf and Sea Slide and a Fast Foe Comet in Toy Time Galaxy!"
"All at once? That's unheard of…" Rosalina mused. "What are these comets?"
"Purple Comets… and by the truckload!"
"Purple Comets?" Rosalina clenched her fists. "I see." She turned to the others. "Follow me, I know of an item where it'll make the Purple Comets a lot easier." She said and then walked off.
"I always thought comets were icy blue." Escargoon said.
"Must be a rare comet." Dedede shrugged as they followed Rosalina into the Gateway.
End BGM
BGM: Gateway Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
"What are we doing back on this planet?" Marisa asked as she looked around.
"You've been here before?" Reimu asked.
"Yeah. This is where I've met the Bros." Marisa replied as they went toward the small tower where they saw Rosalina chatting with a Red Luma.
"Alright, you got it mama!" The Red Luma turned around to meet them. "Alright, so I'm going to give you all an item that will make things easier with these Purple Comets." He said and then a Red Star appeared in front of them. "This is a Red Star. It will draw Purple Coins over to you."
"Purple coins?" Samus asked.
"Yes. These Purple Comets scatter purple coins throughout the galaxies, and if you collect a hundred of them, you'll get a Power Star. I actually have one of them." He said, pulling out a Red Power Star. "I was around a Purple Comet a while ago and I got this for my troubles." He then handed it over to Rosalina. "For you!"
"Thank you."
"Uh, there's just one problem here." Marisa said. "There's only one Red Star and a lot of us."
"Yeah, how are we gonna make it work?" Captain Toad asked.
"That's where I come in. Stand in a circle." Rosalina instructed as they did so and then closed her eyes, raising her arm up in the air as her wand started glowing, as did the Red Star, with Rosalina concentrating and then the Red Star floated up in the air and then it shattered, with its power going inside all of them. "There. I have divided the Red Star into all of you, and it will give you the ability to attract Purple Coins into all of you."
"So, how long will this last?" Sakuya asked.
"Indefinitely. You may use it as often as you like. The Red Star is filled with mysterious power, so you never know what you'll get." Rosalina said.
"Why don't we try it out?" The Red Luma summoned purple coins. "See what you guys can do."
"Alright, here we go!" Marisa exclaimed and then they took off to experiment with their new found Red Star powers, like with the Mario Bros, they were flying around and spinning to collect some of them, Mokou's fire now turned purple and attracted the purple coins. Pikachu and Pichu's electricity was enough to gather them up, Kirby sucked them all in, but then again, he could've done it without the Red Star, Dedede's mallet turned into a Purple Coin magnet that stuck to his hammer like glue but was easy to pull off. Meta Knight's Mach Tornado sucked in the Purple Coins, the Toad Brigade's pickaxes pulled in purple coins, Marisa's Mini-Hakkero attracted some of the coins.
"They're having fun." Red Luma said, watching the others experiment with the Red Star power that were given.
"Looks like it." Rosalina nodded, watching Flandre activate her Lavatein and it switched to a purple color and then sucked some of the Purple coins in. "I could never imagine something like this happening…" She quietly said.
"With what happening?"
"The Power Stars being taken away by that mad Koopa King. Of all the things that could happen, I didn't account for this."
"Space is unpredictable, mama."
"I know, I just wish I was able to prevent such a tragedy from happening." Rosalina quietly said before walking away.
"Oh come on, don't blame yourself for this!" He exclaimed before sighing. "Oh mother…"
End BGM
A little bit later…
"Alright, I think we got it covered!" Marisa said.
"Yeah!" Nitori nodded as they walked back while Yuyuko noticed a Hungry Luma outside of the Gateway, while the others went to the map to look where the Comets are.
"Okay, so it looks like most of them are orbiting the galaxies we've been to." Youmu said.
"So some of us go to those Galaxies while the rest of us go to the Garden." Nitori said. "That sounds like a good idea."
"Let's do this!" Marisa exclaimed as they all nodded and then they split up.
BGM: Purple Comet (Super Mario Galaxy)
At Good Egg Galaxy…
Mario landed on the Pear-shaped planet, looking around and seeing the Purple Coins lying around as he quickly activated the Red Star power and then flew around, spinning around to draw the Purple Coin surrounding him before he flew over from a Launch Star and getting the other Purple Coins from the path as he then hit the Boulder Planet and grabbed the individual coins before going off and collecting the Purple Coins in space before landing on the Egg Planet and then collecting the last purple coins as a Power Star appeared in his hands. "Got it!"
At Honeyhive Galaxy…
Luigi activated his Power Up and flew around, grabbing the various Purple Coins on the ledges around the planet. "Phew, could you imagine how annoying it'd be if you were to do this by foot?" He wondered to himself as he grabbed the coins, dodging a Wiggler as he grabbed the coins in its path before flying around to collect some at the top of the planet before nabbing the Power Star. "That wasn't so bad!"
Space Junk…
Alice landed on the Assembly Block Planet and then looked at the various purple coins in a circle, where she summoned a few Dolls and then activated her power, where the dolls pulled out coin magnets and then she had them fly around to collect them all before they all returned and they formed into a Power Star. "Piece of cake." She said.
Battlerock Galaxy…
"So that's what it looks like, eh?" Cirno mused. "How cool!"
"You think it's cool that it's firing at us?" Daiyousei wondered.
"Oh heck no!" Cirno told her with a grin and then with her power activated, she made an icy missile launcher and shot at the various purple coins, where the bullets were actually nets that Daiyousei collected while Cirno formed an ice wall to prevent the cannonballs from hitting her while Daiyousei spotted a few coins that Cirno missed as she activated hers, firing danmaku that attached to the Purple Coins and pulled them back to the fairy.
"Got it!" Daiyousei grinned as a Power Star appeared as Cirno grabbed the last one.
"Booyah!" Cirno grinned and then took it.
Beachbowl Galaxy…
Patchouli stood at the top of the beach and activated her power, where water spouts popped out of the bowl and the purple coins underwater were on top of the spouts. "There you are." She said and went to collect them, before flying around to collect them on the palm trees and on the grass before the Power Star appeared. "That takes care of that."
Ghostly Galaxy…
Youmu blinked as she saw 150 Purple Coins in one area, complete with meaty bone bumpers and spiked balls in her way. "This is too easy." Youmu said.
"Can you do it under a minute?" A Boo asked.
"Under a minute? Not a problem." Youmu replied, unaware that she was speaking to a Boo and activated her power, her sword glowing purple as she zipped around and collected the Purple Coins while the purple coins flew behind her before all 150 of them were caught, and a Power Star appeared near the Boo. "Fifteen seconds!" Youmu exclaimed as she took the Power Star.
"Nice job."
"Thank yo-…AAAAH!" Youmu screamed and then flew off.
"…Was it something I said?"
Gusty Garden Galaxy…
Sakuya flew up in the air and threw her knives all around the planet where the knives impaled the purple coins before she summoned them back and collected all the Purple coins before collecting the Power Star. "Not a problem." She said.
Freezeflame Galaxy…
Meta Knight used Mach Tornado, sucking in all the hidden purple coins toward him before grabbing it. "I… I knew it was in that spot!" King Dedede lied.
"Sure you did, sire." Escargoon teased while Kirby sucked in a couple, Magolor grabbing a few, and then Bandana Dee speared a couple before the Power Star appeared before them.
Dusty Dune Galaxy…
"Wahoo!" Captain Toad exclaimed as he and the Toad Brigade were going to town on the Purple Coins scattered throughout the Maze Planet, while Toadette was in the Starshroom and collected the purple coins in midair between the Thwomps and the Tweesters until they were all collected.
"Got it!" Toadette exclaimed.
"Awesome! Now we can get out of here! It's too hot." Green Toad complained.
"Agreed!" Captain Toad nodded.
Gold Leaf Galaxy…
"HIYAH!" Flandre yelled, striking her Cosmic Clone with her Lavatein, knocking it into a wall as she aimed her hand at the Cosmic Clone and clenched her fist, destroyed her cosmic self. "Don't you ever attack me when I'm collecting Purple Coins again." She snarled before grabbing the Power Star that the Cosmic Clone left behind before she went off to collect the rest of the Purple Coins in the area before grabbing the other one that popped up. "Got it!" She grinned.
Sea Slide Galaxy…
"This should attract them." Nitori said after building a device that was sucking in all the Purple coins when she heard cackling as she turned over to see Cosmic Nitori forming in front of her. "Oh, Cosmic Clone Comet, riiiight."
Cosmic Nitori said nothing, but pointed to a Power Star at the lighthouse. "What, you want to race to the Power Star? So be it." She said and then the two dove into the water, where Nitori would notice that her cosmic clone had the same speed as her in the water. "Oh, we'll see about that." She whispered and then manipulated the water to have Cosmic Nitori to slow down, but this didn't deter her cosmic clone as she did the same thing. "Well played…" She mused, and then she had an idea.
Nitori manipulated the water behind the Power Star and guided it straight for her by going around the middle planet, but she noticed it started to behave erratically as Cosmic Nitori caught on to what she was doing and tried to pull it to her, causing the two to fly out of the water and did a tug of war to get the Power Star to them, and they both fired danmaku at each other and also trying to deter each other by shoving water at each other.
"I'm not giving up to the likes of YOU!" She yelled, manipulating the water near her machine to have it come to them as she then used the water to make her machine a battering ram and slapped Cosmic Nitori into the water and then Nitori took the Power Star. "Sucker!" She grinned as she grabbed the other Power Star after collecting the Purple Coins.
Toy Time Galaxy…
"Wah!" Meiling exclaimed as she was dodging the Tox Boxes that were moving incredibly fast, thanks to the Fast Foe Comet. She shook it off and went through the switches and then nabbing the Power Star, and then a Launch Star appeared and then she blasted off to the 2D Mario Sprite planet before going to the backside of it to reveal a 2D Luigi Sprite with a lot of Purple Coins. "Is that… Luigi?" She wondered. "Nah, can't be." She said as she landed and then activated her power up, which she fired Star Pulse Bullets that homed in on the Purple Coins and gathered them up where they came back to Meiling with all the Purple Coins. "Perfect." She said and then flew off.
End BGM
With Yuyuko…
"Yay, I got it!" Yuyuko exclaimed as she got the Power Star.
"Hmm, it seems that you did." The Spooky Speedster mused. "I wonder, you wouldn't be related to this girl I have met in Ghostly Galaxy, would you? She called herself Youmu."
"Oh, she's my bodyguard." Yuyuko casually said before flying off.
"A ghost bodyguarding another ghost… interesting." Spooky Speedster mused.
At Deep Dark Galaxy…
BGM: Deep Dark Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
Marisa, Reimu, Peach, and Samus landed on the beach. "Whoa… was that you?" Marisa asked, pointing to the wreck.
"Yes, that was." Reimu nodded. "We're lucky to be alive."
"That seemed like a very bad crash." Samus quietly said.
"It was." Peach nodded. "But, let's not worry about that. We oughta get to exploring!" She said as they nodded and then they walked over to the body of water.
"Uh… do we have to go into the water?" Marisa asked.
"It's the only way to find Power Stars." Samus said and then turned around to her Pokemon and then punched in their coordinates as Samus' Gunship came into view, aimed directly at Pikachu and Pichu and fired scuba gear at the two, to which they caught it and put it on.
"Pika!"
"Pichu!"
The Metroid chirped a little, feeling left out. "Oh, alright." Samus chuckled and then some goggles popped out and landed on the Metroid, to which she adjusted it. "There, happy?" She asked as the Metroid happily chirped. "Thought so." She said before switching her armor to the Gravity Suit.
"I… uh… oh, look, there's a planet above us! I'll take that route!" Marisa flew off.
"…What…?" Reimu looked at her in bewilderment. "What's gotten into her?"
"I have a theory…" Koakuma said. "She nearly drowned when fighting Kingfin, so perhaps she's freaked out into going into the water."
"Marisa? Freaked out? I doubt it." Reimu said and then saw Peach digging in her pockets and then pulled out two Penguin suits.
"Ah, here we are!"
"Penguins? I'm not dressing up like that."
"Who said anything about turning into a penguin?" Peach winked and then tossed one to Reimu and she absorbed it, where her outfit turned into scuba gear and her hair was turned into a bun, with the scuba gear appearing red with white outlines.
"Whoa!"
"Apparently, the guys turn into penguins while the girls get scuba suits." Peach said, wearing a pink scuba outfit. "Oh, and on the plus side, you can breathe underwater without needing a breathing tube!"
"I'm loving the Mushroom Kingdom more and more." Reimu chuckled as they dove on in, with her and Peach going into a cave while Samus landed on the bottom, with her using her scanner and finding a Launch Star in a shipwreck, surrounded by landmines.
"There you are." She said and fired a missile, destroying the landmines and uncovering the Launch Star as she walked over to it but then stopped when she noticed Guppy nearby, which she went over to investigate.
"What in tarnation! What is a robot doing here? You want this Power Star, you're gonna have to catch me first!" He said and then swam off. "You're gonna have a lot of rust on you!"
Samus sweatdropped. "That's… not what I had in mind." She said before using her Grappling Beam to grab him by the tail and pulled him in.
"ACK! Alright, fine, here's your Star!" He said and then swam off, grumbling to himself.
"What was his problem?" Samus wondered and then she walked over to the Launch Star and flew off to meet up with the others, where the trio were trying to guide a Boo into the light.
"Pichu! Pichu Pi!" Pichu exclaimed in frustration.
"Pika…" Pikachu sighed while the Metroid hissed at the Boo.
"Hey boys, there's a better way to do this!" Samus told them and then looked at the Boo and then turned her back to it, catching the Boo's attention and floated over to her with a sneaky grin, but vanished when it hit the light and a Power Star appeared.
"Chu…" Pikachu blushed in embarrassment.
"Pi Pi…" Pichu lightly facepalmed while the Metroid lightly chirped.
"It's alright, you guys tried." Samus chuckled.
With Reimu and Peach…
"HIYAH!" Peach yelled, throwing a tennis ball with her tennis racket, hitting Kamella square in the head.
"Ooof!"
"I'll finish this up!" Reimu used Fantasy Seal to seal up Kamella before having it explode, causing Kamella to scream and then fell to the ground, with the wand exploding with the Power Star popping out, and then Kamella disappeared.
"Nice one!" Peach grinned, picking up the tennis ball and then high fiving Reimu.
"Thanks! You were awesome too!" Reimu said. "So… what was that that you threw at her?"
"It's called tennis. Do they have it in Gensokyo?"
"No, we have soccer and that's about it." Reimu said. "We're kinda… extreme with soccer."
"Come to a Strikers Charged tournament. You'll know "extreme" by then."
I doubt it. Reimu thought as they took the Power Star. "So, when we're done here, you mind teaching me a thing or two about tennis?"
"Sure! Maybe I'll show Gensokyo how to play tennis! I mean, how extreme can they get with tennis, anyway?" Peach giggled.
With Marisa…
Marisa fired a Master Spark at a tennis ball in the glass planet, before turning said planet into a watermelon planet as a Power Star emerged from the top of the melon. "…I'm not going to let them know about me being afraid of the water. It's gonna be my secret." She said and then took it. "Wait, what am I saying? I'm not afraid of the water! ...I'm just overly cautious." She told herself and then flew off.
End BGM
At Dreadnought Galaxy…
BGM: Battlerock Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
Koakuma landed on an hourglass shaped planet. "Where am I?" She wondered and then walked her way around the lights before flying up to a Launch Star and flew off to the side of the Dreadnought, knocking out the Goombeetles before going inside a Warp Pipe, then finding that the inside was trashed. "What in the world?" She asked and then looked around, seeing a nearly destroyed Gearmo. She quickly ran over to it.
"Hey… are you okay? Speak up!"
"Nngh… they… they took everything…"
"Who did?"
"Those fiends… they took our metal and scrapped our place apart… and to add insult to injury… some whackjob of a scientist came in and… took… everything else and destroyed the rest of us… I'm probably the only survivor."
"Who was this scientist?"
"H-He called himself Dr… Dr… an…"
"Dr. An?"
"No… his… name is…" The Gearmo shut down right after, breaking apart.
"Dr. An." She mused. "Who is that?" She wondered and flew around, seeing that the entire place was barren from the inside and seeing destroyed Gearmos. "Who could've done this?" She wondered as she got into another Warp Pipe and finding that the outside was intact, but the inside was nothing more than an empty shell. She flew up to the Launch Star and launched to another planet where she saw a Power Star being guarded by light beams, but noticed that parts on this particular planet had been visited before, since there were some material missing like the iron bars.
"Whoever this Dr. An is, I'm afraid to ever meet him." She said as she flew off.
End BGM
Finally, at Melty Molten Galaxy…
BGM: Melty Molten Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
Mokou landed right next to a volcano. "Hmm, seems right up my alley." She said as she walked around, seeing the Lil' Cinders coming toward her and attempting to burn her, but the fire didn't phase her at all. "Losers." She said, grabbing them and throwing them into the lava where she jumped across a gap and then walked on some platforms that sunk into the lava, then she walked through the fire geysers and then flew up before she spotted a Launch Star above the volcano, catching her attention as she went into it and flew off, with the volcano erupting behind her before she hit a sling star and landed on a glass orb planet, then she flew around while going through some fireballs that were launching out of lava planets as she then found the Launch Star and flew off, before hitting another Launch Star and flew just above the lava while fireballs arched over her.
She then landed on a metallic saucer as she then hopped to a Hardening Lava planet and went about to collect the Star Chips while knocking the Lil' Cinders away, then getting into the Launch Star and flying off to the Lava Spire, circling around it and then landing on a platform where she noticed a Power Star trapped in crystal where she flew over and fire punched the crystal to break the Power Star free. "There we go!" She said and then looked around. "Hmm, I might come back later." She said and then flew off back to the Observatory.
End BGM
Meanwhile…
"There we go." Remilia said, dusting her hands off as she was looking at the fire planet. "They'll never know what hit them." She said, and then she heard a voice and then she ducked for cover, as Bowser and Kamek walked through.
"It looks like it's pretty stable." Kamek said.
"Yes, it does." Bowser chuckled, unaware of Remilia sneaking back into the castle. "Alright, let's get to universe conquering!"
Remilia smirked. "Oh, that's where you are so wrong." She said and disappeared into the shadows, knowing that they were going to be in for a wild ride.
I would have posted this like, last week, but to be fair, I was busy playing as Joker. Oh ho ho ho, MAN, is he fun! He took a while to get used to, but he's fun! I've actually been doing a Persona run in World of Light WITH the Phantom Thieves themselves from Joker all the way to Haru. (Though, I changed Makoto from Sheik to Mii Brawler. Sheik didn't really make sense to me.)
I actually posted about it on my QuoteV page (You can find it on my page on this site) if you want to take a look on my runs in WoL so far. (And a planned one too!)
Though, I do have one nitpick about Joker... and it's the final boss in his Classic Mode.
Why is it the Hands? It should've been Marx! (Battle of the Jokers! Eh? Eeeeeh? ...Tough crowd.)
Anyway, that's all I have to say about the Phantom Thief himself... but you're probably wondering who this Dr. An is.
*chuckles* You'll find out who it is soon.
Here's a hint: He's someone you've already met in my fics. See if you can figure it out!
