A/N: After this chapter, I'm going to reach ten-thousand words and almost to one-thousand hits for my story. I'm so thrilled about it. I'm still thinking of the name for the title of my sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. Also look in my profile to find out some new info for other stories that I'm doing that's coming soon to a computer in you house. Enjoy the next chapter

Disclaimer: I do not own Nintendo or Mario. I wish I did but the chances of that happening is very slim.

Super Mario Galaxy

Chapter 13

Dusty Dune Galaxy

I saw my brother, Luigi, sitting in the shade. "Hey brother, glad you got my letter. Look up at the tower." I looked up and saw many tornados right above us. "As you can see, Mario that a Launch Star isn't going to help you and your spin attack is not going to work either. But I do have an idea. We can use the spin move that we learned when we were in the BeanBean Kingdom." I agreed to this idea and jumped on Luigi's shoulders and we spinned.

We got caught in a tornado and were rising up very fast at a quick pace. We managed to get to the top of the tower. Once we got to the top, we saw another Power Star. I grabbed it and then I heard a laugh. I turned around to see Shadow Mario grab my brother. He laughed and launched himself and Luigi away from me. I heard Rosalina say that if I follow them, I can reach the enemy base. I quickly followed pursuit and hoped for the best.

Bowser's Dark Matter Plant

I landed in this strange dark world of Bowser's hidden base. I looked around for any sign of Luigi or Shadow Mario, but had no luck. I noticed that this area was gravity-shifted goodness right above dark matter. If I touch that stuff, I'm as good as dead. I slowly made my way to where Bowser is. I had to jump from platform to platform, walk upside down, and I just managed to almost get to the end. I saw many Lumas trapped in crystals. After a few minutes of spinning, I saved all the Lumas. They said that Bowser is ahead. I followed until I reached the same circular area.

Bowser came crashing down and was laughing at me. "Welcome, Mario. Last we fought, you got really lucky. But now that I have your brother, there's nothing you can do." We floated above the area and landed on the planetoid and the battle begins. I used my spin attack, but Bowser mimicked the spin. "I learned a few new moves since our last battle, Mario. NOW PREPARE TO DIE!!!" Bowser jumped up and crashed into the ground, sending shock waves. I jumped and spinned in mid-air, hitting Bowser in the nose. He fell backwards and landed on the blue pad, breaking it and burning his tail. I did this twice and Bowser was really mad. I tried to grab his tail, but he smashed me into the ground. I was badly hurt, but I continued to fight. "Goodbye, Mario!" Bowser was getting ready to strike me, but Bowser Jr. showed up. "Father, I got some bad news. Luigi somehow got the Grand Star I had and sent it to the Observatory. I still have him in chains, but the Grand Star is gone." "WHAT?!?! Bowser Jr., how could you fail me?" Bowser yelled at his son. This was my time to strike. I used my spin move to hit Bowser and Bowser Jr. back down to the ground. I saw the last Grand Star and grabbed it. Then Shadow Mario came and kicked me in the face, knocking me down on the ground. Bowser got up and just smiled. "Well, looks like you got all but one of the Grand Stars, Mario. I'll see you at my new galaxy." And with that, they disappeared as I got up and flew back to the Observatory.

Comet Observatory

The orb was now glowing a light blue. Rosalina was very pleased but at the same time, very worried. "Mario, thanks to your brother, he collected the last Grand Star while you got the other one from Bowser. We now have enough energy to take you to the center of the galaxy where Bowser is creating his galaxy." I looked at her as I was getting ready for my biggest battle of my life. "I hope you are ready Mario, because this is it. We are now headed for the center of the galaxy." The Observatory started to move at amazing speed.

We heard explosions as we saw Princess Peach's castle. We stopped as the observatory made a bridge for me to get to Bowser. "Good luck Mario. The entire universe now is in your hands. Save us from Bowser and stop his plans once and for all." Rosalina said to me. I nodded, jumped on the bridge and went across it. This is it. The big battle is now ahead of me. I must stop Bowser here and now. I went into the castle and went to the back of it. What I saw was what Bowser had started to build. It was massive and it was near a molten, rocky sun. I pushed me hat down and jumped down to the platform. I still had a long way to go before my meeting with Bowser. I was ready for him.

A/N: This is it, Ladies and Gentlemen. The next chapter is the finale. The reason I had skipped a few galaxies is that I'm following my profile on the game. Once I gained enough Power Stars and Grand Stars, I was at the finale. See you at the second to last chapter!!!
