BGM: Rosalina in the Observatory 3 (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Really… a giant fortress of some kind?" Marisa asked with intrigue in her voice.
"Yes." Koakuma nodded.
"That sounds like the Dreadnought Galaxy." Rosalina mused after hearing Koakuma's explanation.
"Something sounds off, though." Polari said. "Dreadnought should have defensive capabilities, it couldn't have been ransacked overnight. You sure you were at Dreadnought Galaxy?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, come to think of it…" Yuyuko rubbed her chin in thought. "Luigi and I overheard some Rocky Wrenches when we were inside Battlerock Galaxy. One of them said that they stole some metal from Dreadnought Galaxy and started to create a huge mech thing that would have succeeded in destroying us hadn't Samus stepped in and saved us."
"If they could rebuild Diggernaut, I'd hate to think what they'd do next." Samus said.
"One Gearmo told me that after that was done, someone else came in shortly after and took care of the rest while destroying everything in sight." Koakuma explained. "He was malfunctioning and close to death, but he also told me who did it as best he could. Someone named Dr. An."
"Dr. An…" Mario folded his arms. "Hmm…"
"Oh!" Dedede pounded his fist into his palm. "It must be that Dr. Andonut fella that that Jeff guy mentions when he's with Ness!"
"That seems completely out of character for him to do something like that." Meta Knight pointed out, with Bandana Dee nodding in agreement.
"I think we oughta focus on this Dr. An later." Samus suggested. "For now, we need to locate the rest of the Power Stars before taking on Bowser."
"Agreed." Marisa nodded.
"I was just about to suggest that." Rosalina said.
"Well, alright! How many Power Stars are left?" Luigi asked.
"Eighteen." Rosalina replied.
"Wow, we're getting close. Let's do this!" Peach exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Everyone exclaimed and went off to do the rest of the Stars, while a few of them went to the Planet of Trials, a planet that was hanging around the Observatory, but no one paid attention to it until now.

At Deep Dark Galaxy…
Peach and Reimu landed on the ground after they were both sucked into the Daredevil and Purple Comet. "Alright, you deal with Kamella again while I collect the Purple Coins?" Reimu offered.
"Sure." Peach nodded and then Reimu's gohei turned purple as she flew off to collect the purple coins as Peach walked over to Kamella's lair, where Kamella reappeared in front of her.
"Welcome to my Daredevil battle!" Kamella exclaimed. "You think you can take me on, princess?"
Peach cracked her knuckles. "Bring it."
"Ehehehehehehe! You're gonna regret this!" She exclaimed.
BGM: Kamella (Super Mario Galaxy)
Kamella launched fire magic right at Peach right as she pulled out her tennis racket and blocked the attack with her racket before tossing it up in the air and serving it right back at Kamella, hitting her directly in the face. "Ooof!" She grunted as she growled and then fired a lightning attack, but Peach rolled out of the way in time and then she fired a green shell at Peach, but she jumped back and then kicked it hard enough for Kamella to get slapped in the face by the green shell. "YOW!"
"Is that all you got?" Peach asked with a grin.
"I'm not through yet!" Kamella said, summoning two Magikoopas to assist her as they all launched fire attacks, but Peach took out her frying pan as she blocked the attacks, before flipping it around and having the fireballs sizzle on the pan before she tossed it up in the air and then used her tennis racket to launch all three of them at Kamella. "Yargh!"
"What is with this girl?" A Magikoopa wondered.
"Keep firing!" The other Magikoopa yelled.
"Sorry boys, this is where it ends." Peach said and then clapped her hands together, closing her eyes and then opened them up when suddenly, a few Sleepy Sheep landed on all three of them, making them conk out.
End BGM
"Excellent." Peach smirked and then reached into her bag, pulling out a soccer ball, but this wasn't just any soccer ball… oh no…
This was the Strikers Ball.
Peach chuckled to herself before pulling out her Strikers armor from her bag. "Let's do this."
BGM: Peach's Theme (Mario Strikers Charged)
Peach kicked the ball high into the air and then launched herself into the air, and when she got close, she started glowing and then sprouted angel wings and a halo above her head as she let out a mighty yell and then launched the ball, splitting it into eight balls and they came down like meteors… right as the Magikoopas came to. "Huh…? Where is she?" Kamella asked.
"Above us!" A Magikoopa exclaimed when they looked up to see the balls coming down on top of them.
"…Oh, son of a-"
End BGM
Reimu picked up a few purple coins on the beach. "Let's see… that should be about fifty." She mused, and then heard an explosion. "Huh?" She turned her head and then flew over to see what happened, and saw that the ship had a massive holes in it while Peach was standing there holding the Power Star.
"Oh, hi Reimu!" Peach smiled innocently.
"What… did you even do?" Reimu asked in shock.
"Oh, that? Decided to teach Kamella a thing or two." She giggled.
Reimu sweatdropped. "You… sure you're a human?"
"Positive!"
"O… kay then." Reimu said as she went to collect the rest of the purple coins, even finding the last two underneath a platform near the Jellyfish and then they flew off together.
At Dreadnought Galaxy…
BGM: Battlerock Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
Koakuma, Sakuya, and Marisa landed on a Bolt Lift. "So this is it?" Sakuya asked.
"Yes." Koakuma nodded.
"Well now, let's go check it out." Marisa said as they flew over the Bolts and then saw Flipswitch panels on a hill complete with Mini Wanwans rolling down the hill, but they dodged them and kept going until they reached two Launch Stars appearing after taking out some Octopi, to which Marisa took the right one and Koakuma and Sakuya took the left, where the latter went toward the Dreadnought while Marisa to a UFO, which she noticed a Warp Pipe underneath the UFO, to where she curiously went inside.
Sakuya and Koakuma landed on a moving platform, and despite the inside being destroyed, the cannons were ready to fire at the two, forcing them to counter attack and jumping between platforms while also going over a Thwomp where they eventually came across the Power Star and grabbed it. "Well, that takes care of that." Koakuma said. "I wonder where Marisa went?"
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang through the galaxy, catching their attention. "I have a theory or two…" Sakuya mused, while Koakuma sweatdropped.
A Gearmo jawdropped while Marisa took the Power Star. "Too easy." She said and then went back to the Warp Pipe and flew off, easily avoiding the Top Men and flying around a mine field before she took off on a Launch Star and flew around the Dreadnought before landing on a Landing Pad planet, before she flew up and flew over to avoid the Ring Beamers and then destroyed the cage holding the Launch Star and then launched straight to another UFO, where she was attacked by a Spiky Topman, only for to get kicked into an electric wire. She then walked around the UFO and came across Topmaniac coming down in front of her.
"Mario told me about you." Marisa said and then got into a battle position. "Alright, tough guy. Bring it!" She challenged as Topmaniac went after her, but she rolled out of the way and pulled out her wand, firing a laser that knocked Topmaniac into the electrical wire, and then it bounced back and tried to hit Marisa, but she rolled out of the way and threw a bomb at it, to where it slammed into the other wire, and then it jumped back again, where it summoned two Spiky Topmen, but Marisa pulled out her Mini-Hakkero and used Master Spark to shove into the electric wire to destroy Topmaniac. "You were a glutton for punishment." She said as she took the Power Star, and then noticed a Red Comet coming in along with a purple comet, and then Marisa was sucked into the Red Comet while Sakuya and Koakuma were sucked into the Purple Comet.
Sakuya and Koakuma landed on a moving platform, where they saw the Purple coins in front of them and they flew off the platform, collecting the Purple Coins throughout the area and then collected the last purple coin. "Well, that was easy." Koakuma said.
"Wonder how Marisa's holding up." Sakuya said.
With Marisa…
"Dude, I thought you gotten smarter!" Marisa exclaimed, then using Blazing Star to finish off Topmaniac again and got another Power Star. "Ugh, idiot." She said and then took off back to the Observatory.

At Matter Splatter Galaxy…
BGM: Space Fantasy (Super Mario Galaxy)
Mario landed on the ground, watching the little droplets of matter hit the invisible ground to reveal it. "Ah, interesting." Mario mused before jumping over to the visible platforms and went into the Warp Pipe while dodging the Magikoopas and then went into the next area, where he wall jumped over the visible walls thanks to the matter droplets, and then spin jumped to gain some height and then went into another Warp Pipe where he found a Spring Mushroom and then absorbed it, where a spring wrapped over his whole body.
"Mama mia! What the heck?!" Mario exclaimed in surprise as he was bouncing high into the air, making sure not to fall into the endless abyss as he kept jumping higher, accidentally smashing his head into the ground until he found a warp pipe and got in, with the Spring Mushroom disappearing. "Ow…" Mario rubbed his head before pressing on where he waited for the ground to reveal itself and he moved forward. A Magikoopa got in his way but he ran over and used a Spin Jump to knock the Magikoopa away and then he moved on, before he grew tired of the slow moving matter and activated his Red Star where he flew over and grabbed the Power Star.
"There we go!" He grinned and then flew off.
End BGM
At Snow Cap Galaxy…
BGM: Ice Mountain (Super Mario Galaxy)
Yuyuko and Youmu landed on the ground. "Oooh, this is a peaceful place!" Yuyuko smiled.
"It sure is." Youmu said as they found the Launch Star and flew off together to the Snow Cap Planet before landing in front of three bunnies.
"Think you can catch us, boiyoing?" One Bunny asked and then they all disappeared.
Youmu sweatdropped. "Oh great, this is gonna be a nightmare."
"Worry not, Youmu. I have a plan." Yuyuko said and then closed her eyes, sending butterfly danmaku around the planet where they dug up all the snow to reveal two bunnies and a few flipswitches. "There we go."
"Thank you, Lady Yuyuko." Youmu said as she went to go retrieve the two bunnies while Yuyuko went to hit the flipswitches to uncover the last Star Bunny, where it popped out from the other hand of the planet where Youmu spotted it after collecting the two and then she went after the third, collecting all three of them.
"Aww, you caught all of us. Here's your reward." He said, giving them the Power Star where Youmu took it.
"Thanks. Let's go." Youmu said where Yuyuko nodded and flew off.

At Rolling Gizmo Galaxy…
BGM: Blue Sky Athletic (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Okay… I can do this." Luigi said as he got on the rolling ball. "How hard can it be?" He asked and then jumped through the zig zag path while also crushing a Goomba as he then rolled over to the blocks and crushed them with the ball, then he hit the bridge to lower it and then he went into a hole into the ground, which it shot him up in the air. "WAAAAAH!" He yelled before landing on a small platform. "Phew… wait, this is slanted!" He exclaimed and went into the small hole, then he went onto a rail and went for a wild ride. "AAAAAAH! SOMEONE STOP THIS CRAZY THING!" He screamed as he ran over a Goomba after getting off the rails as he then hit a ramp after hitting a curved wall.
"…I'm alive? Phew." Luigi sighed with relief as he carefully moved his way through the gears and blocks, and saw some Bob-omb Dispensers popping out a few Bob-ombs, which they made eye contact with the plumber. "Yipe!" He exclaimed as he rolled forward, trying to get ahead of the Bob-ombs as he hopped on some gears to get away from them, and then got onto another rail system, which dropped him off on some platforms that had boosts on them, causing him to scream in terror and then he came to a complete stop. "Phew." He sighed with relief, and then rolled forward, hopping on a die platform and then rolled his way to the goal post where the ball shattered and the Power Star was his.
"Okay, I am never doing that again." Luigi said and then flew off.

At Bubble Blast Galaxy…
BGM: Space Fantasy
Cirno and Daiyousei landed on a platform. "Well, this is interesting." Cirno mused.
"Let's see what we have to deal with." Daiyousei said as they flew up to get a better look. "Okay, looks like an electric maze."
"Looks like at the end, there's a Star Chip of some kind." Cirno said and then the duo looked at each other and then they flew down to grab the individual Star Chips and then when the Launch Star was finished, the two of them launched away to another part of the Galaxy where they noticed the Power Star in the distance and a bunch of Bullet Bills being launched out of Bill Blasters.
"Bullet Bills, of all things?" Daiyousei asked.
"Pfft, wow." Cirno rolled her eyes as she froze up the Bill Blasters and then they flew over to grab the Power Star.
"That was easy." Daiyousei said.
"Yeah, who knows what you had to do if you couldn't fly." Cirno giggled and then they flew off.
End BGM
At Loopdeeswoop Galaxy
Nitori landed on a platform and saw what was before her. "Ooooh! This looks fun!" She exclaimed.
"YOU AGAIN!" A voice yelled as she turned to see the same Penguin from Loopdeeloop Galaxy. "You think you can just show your face around here?"
"Do I know you?" Nitori asked.
"I'm that same Penguin you raced in Loopdeeloop Galaxy!"
Nitori tilted her head. "You are?"
"Yeah, don't you remember?"
"Sorry, I didn't really pay attention to any of you. I was more interested in racing."
The Penguin jawdropped, his whole color disappearing and was replaced in a white color. "Holy penguin, that's cold!" He complained.
"If you'll excuse me, I'll be racing on this." Nitori said and hopped on a manta ray. "Time me, my good man!"
"Alright!" The Coach hit the timer. "GO!"
BGM: Aquatic Race (Super Mario Galaxy)
Nitori launched away from them, using her water manipulation to her advantage. "Oh no, you don't!" The Penguin exclaimed, hopping on another Manta Ray. "I'm not losing to you twice!" He exclaimed and then took off. Heh, she doesn't realize she picked the slowest Manta Ray in existence. I have the fastest one here!" He smirked, and then Nitori went past him.
"Heya!"
"Oh hey." He greeted and watched Nitori go past him. "…Wait, WHAT." He yelled, not realizing she made a whole lap and was going for another lap. "How is she doing this?!" He asked and then picked up the pace, going through the narrow passages and made a sharp turn, and then Nitori went past him again.
"Hello~!"
"STOP TAUNTING ME!" He yelled as Nitori went over the loopdeeloop as the penguin did the same, then Nitori went past him a fourth time and then crossed the finish line before he did. "OH COME ON!" He yelled before losing control and fell off the Manta ray, landing into the water. "Ooof!" He exclaimed.
End BGM
"Twenty seconds! A new personal best!"
"How are you doing this?! Do you have clones?!" The Penguin demanded to know.
"Oh no, I beat the race in 45 seconds. I just did extra laps to improve my time." Nitori said, holding the Power Star in her hand and then flew off.
"…How does she do it…" The penguin grumbled.
At Melty Molten Galaxy…
BGM: Melty Molten Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
Mokou landed on the ground with Meiling, Patchouli and Meta Knight joining her. "Holy crap, it's hot out here!" Marisa exclaimed, waving her face.
"It's not so bad." Mokou said.
"Yeah, considering you're a phoenix!" Meiling exclaimed. "I'm dyin' here!"
"Magma Flows is hotter than this. This is nothing." Meta Knight said.
"I got the perfect remedy for this." Patchouli said and closed her eyes, chanting a spell and then casting it on Meiling. "There. Better?"
"Better!" Meiling grinned.
"Wonder how the others are doing." Mokou wondered and then noticed something in the corner of her eye to see meteors flying toward toward them, which she flew over and destroyed them as she then lit up some torches to make a Launch Star appear, but then she noticed sinking platforms near the volcano and she walked over to it with Meta Knight and Patchouli following her while Meiling went into the Launch Star, but then Patchouli looked up toward the volcano and flew over to see the Launch Star.
Curious. She thought and then launched away while Mokou and Meta Knight hopped into a Warp Pipe.
Meiling landed on the ground and saw Thwomps around the planet, but saw a Launch Star on the other side of the planet, so she flew the back way to avoid the meteors and the Thwomps and then launched away, then she went to a Cooled Lava Area where she went around to collect the Star Chips and avoided the Lava Bubbles, then went into another Launch Star and flew through the meteor storm and then landed on a cage with a Launch Star trapped in it, which she punched the cage to destroy it and then launched away to several lava platforms with a Star Ball in front of her.
"Oh?" Meiling wondered and then did a powerful kick to send it flying toward the goal pole, landing into the hole in one shot. "Yeah, baby!" She exclaimed and grabbed the Power Star, then noticed a light shining bright in the distance. "Hmm?"
Patchouli landed on the new planet after feeding a Hungry Luma the required Star Bits, and then she looked around to see the lava tides rising in and rising out, with her noticing the Silver Stars. "Alright, got it." She said and then flew over to grab the Silver Stars before they formed into a Power Star. "Perfect." She said and then flew off.
End BGM
Mokou and Meta Knight both launched off of a Launch Star and they flew around a planet before landing on top of an egg, which burst into flames. "Well, that's unusual." Meta Knight said, watching the egg walk around with a tail poking out, and then Mokou grabbed the clubbed tail and threw it at the egg, destroying it and a fiery plant roared at them, which was none other than Fiery Dino Piranha.
BGM: Dino Piranha (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Well, aren't you a grouchy one." Mokou said as Fiery Dino Piranha breathed fireballs at Mokou, which did nothing to her as she ran over and punched him in the gut, followed by using an uppercut to knock him back where Meta Knight then used Dimensional Cape to cut through Fiery Dino Piranha in the back, as it tried to smack him with his tail, but he flew back and then slashed his chest a few times while Mokou axe kicked Fiery Dino Piranha to the ground, knocking down a few petals while doing so.
Fiery Dino Piranha got back up, this time lighting up in anger and screamed loudly, charging right at them, breathing fire at them but they avoided the attack as Meta Knight used Mach Tornado to suck up the fireballs and smacked them back at him with Mokou fire punched him in the gut and then flip kicked him, where he responded by igniting his tail and tail slapped Mokou right as she was landing on her feet.
"You alright?" Meta Knight asked after Mokou recovered.
"Yeah, I've been through worse." Mokou said, rolling her shoulder as Meta Knight Drill Rushed Fiery Dino Piranha to skewer through his soft plant like body, and then Mokou readied herself before unleashing a fiery Shoryuken to knock Fiery Dino Piranha down, where Meta Knight readied himself and then slashed through Fiery Dino Piranha to destroy him, which he screamed and then disappeared, releasing a Power Star.
End BGM
"Guess we were too hot to handle." Meta Knight said and then chuckled while Mokou rolled her eyes. "What? It was a good pun." He said.
"Oh, it was." Mokou agreed with a chuckle.
"Oh good. I was worried I turned into a blonde teenager who doesn't so puns very well."
"You? A blonde teenager? Nah, you don't look like the punchy type with a bad temper."
"True." Meta Knight said and then they saw a Daredevil Comet and a Purple Comet coming in, which they both went in to, right as Viridi showed up.
"Oh Fiery Dino Piranha! I got some-... OH COME ON!" She yelled and then clenched her fists. "Those plant killers again!" She exclaimed and then used a beam of light.
At the Observatory...
"So, you think we got them all?" Marisa asked.
"Just three stars left." Rosalina replied.
"Excellent!"
"Guys! I'm picking up on something coming in hot!" Polari exclaimed as they saw a beam of light appearing on the Observatory, then Viridi walked out.
"Oh, it's just a small child." Samus said.
"What do you want, Viridi?" Rosalina asked.
"To destroy all of you! You destroyed Fiery Dino Piranha, and I plan on killing you all right here!" She said, and then was tapped on the shoulder, and when she turned around, a large Jet Hammer slammed into her face and launched her into the cold darkness of space.
"Sayonara, weirdo!" Dedede exclaimed.
"Sire, I think that might be a new personal best!" Escargoon said.
Dedede chuckled. "Perfect!"
"Is she gonna be okay?" Daiyousei asked.
"Poyo Poyo." Kirby said, also looking concerned.
"She's tougher than she looks, so she'll be alright." Rosalina said and then used her wand on the KO'd Goddess of Nature and teleported her away back to her temple. "She'll wake up in a few hours, I guarantee it."
"What was she going on about? We didn't kill any Fiery Dino Piranha." Marisa said and looked to Alice who only shrugged, then the Mario Bros shrugged too, and then Meta Knight and Mokou returned with the remaining two Power Stars.
"Hey guys, what'd we miss?" Mokou asked.
"Why do I have a feeling it was you two?" Reimu asked.
"Huh?" Mokou asked.
"Ah, don't worry about it!" Dedede said. "We got all the Power Stars we need, right?"
"Yes. The last one is the one Bowser has." Rosalina said. "You all ready to go?"
"Ready than ever!" Marisa grinned.
"I'll go in the Halberd." Meta Knight said and flew off.
"Let's go!" Captain Toad exclaimed as everyone cheered as Rosalina walked to the top of the Observatory, where she fired a beam of light into the air and then conjured up a shield over the Observatory before she flew off to the Center of the Universe.
Sorry about the wait! I've kinda been in a "Don't feel like doing the chapter" kind of mood even though I wanted to, but I wanted to get this chapter done so here it is!
Anyway, Endgame was something else... It really is the best one! Despite having a few gripes about it. (Looking at YOU, *insert spoiler here*!) and then we got the Sonic trailer... and then the creators are gonna fix Sonic's design, so yay!
Anyway, one chapter left to go! See ya!
