Chapter 2: The Starship of Lumas
(Sky Station Galaxy)
Mario, Sonic, and Ty were launched through the skies until they landed right in front of what looked like a floating fortress just above their atmosphere.
Ty- Where are we, mates?
Mario- We should be in space like when I usually get launched by the Luma's.
Sonic- Must still be close to the Earth's atmosphere, because the sky is still blue instead of filled with stars.
Ty- Imagine what Shazza will say when I tell her I went into space.
Sonic noticed that Eggman's logo was on several parts of the fortress.
Sonic- Looks like we landed on one of egghead's new toys. But I think I see something else over at the top.
Ty- I see it too. Looks like something is locked up inside that hatch.
Luma- It's our ship! I did tell you it got captured.
Mario- Sonic, can you get us up there?
Sonic- Piece of cake, Mario. I can get us there in the blink of an eye.
Then Sonic grabbed hold of Mario and Ty and began dashing off toward the top. However, a bunch of cannons appeared and began firing Banzai Bills at Sonic. Luckily, Sonic managed to dodge them while also making sure his two comrades were not hit as well while he was dashing and still holding them.
Sonic- Sorry guys, but this might complicate things a bit!
Ty- Sonic, I see an opening the inside right over there!
Sonic- You want to risk going inside this machine?
Mario- Better than getting shot at!
So, Sonic dashed into the small opening. However, the hatch seemed to close right behind them. Inside, was a small room with glowing panels on the floor.
Sonic- What is all of this?
Ty- Those are switch panels. We just step on them until they all turn the correct color and the door should open. Simple to pull off, mates.
Mario- I don't think they would've made it as simple at that, Ty.
Suddenly, a black cloud appeared behind them and out came some strange creatures. They were shaped like Mario, Sonic, and Ty, but they were completely black and their eyes were yellow.
Sonic- What the ****?!
The one that looked like Sonic moved a bit. Sonic retaliated by charging his spin dash. But as soon as Sonic dashed for his doppelganger, the strange being also performed a spin dash and rushed for Sonic at equal speed and right into Sonic, knocking him to the ground.
Sonic- What just happened?!
Ty- It appears those strange clones mimic our moves at the same speed and behavior and we take damage if we touch them!
Mario- And we still have to step on the floor switches while carefully not bumping into our little friends.
Sonic worked left side of the room, Ty worked on the right side of the room, and Mario worked on the middle part of the room. Trying to turn all the yellow switches on the floor to green at the same time without stepping on them a second time and to avoid getting hit by their cosmic clones. With a little finesse, mostly from Sonic due to his super speed, they three of them were able to press all the switches and open the door. Upon opening, the cosmic clones instantly vanished.
Sonic- Good riddance to those fakers!
Mario- Now we can free that ship Luma told us about.
When Mario, Sonic, and Ty got to the top of the fortress, they saw the mechanical door locking the ship inside.
Mario- Ty, you're the tech expert. Can you override this lock?
Ty pulls out a few of his tools.
Ty- I can crack this one, but it's very sophisticated. Might take me a minute to unlock.
Then these two blue tongue lizards appeared.
Blue tongue lizard- Look! It's the Super Mario Brothers' Team!
Sonic- Aren't those Boss Cass' henchmen?
Mario- Those are.
Ty- Great. This means that dirt bag, Boss Cass is involved. Shit. Keep those two off of me while I get this open.
Sonic- Thought you'd never ask, mate!
Then Sonic charged his spin dash and knocked one of the blue tongues into the wall. The second blue tongue tried to attack Mario, but Mario dodged and countered with the spin attack from using Luma's power (in Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2) to knock the blue tongue off the ledge off the fortress. Might be an unpleasant landing falling all the way from space. Just then, Mario and Ty heard the blue tongue Sonic was fighting screaming in an unusual manner. And they were a bit horrified as to what Sonic did to the blue tongue.
Ty- Uh…Sonic…that might've been…a little extreme…
Mario- Yeah, this fanfiction remake is supposed to be rated T.
Sonic- What. I did it off camera. Besides, I did something similar to Bowser once. How about we just get this ship freed and worry about this some other time.
Ty- Alright. I'm almost done anyway.
Then Ty manages to make the hatch open up and out comes a small, almost asteroid looking, space ship. But that wasn't the only thing that popped out. A Power Star flew out of the hatch and appeared right before Mario, Sonic, and Ty.
(Luma Starship)
Mario and Sonic were standing at the top of this small looking asteroid and they were surrounded by a swarm of little Lumas. Eventually, this large chubby looking purple Luma, who many would say resembles Patrick from Spongebob, appeared.
Lubba- So you're this Mario guy my little Lumas won't stop blabbing about, am I right? The story of your previous adventure through the galaxies was told a lot by our mother. And I see you have a friend with you. But the Lumas said there was an orange one with you as well. Where did he go?
Mario- Ty? He's below deck, trying to fix the engine.
Sonic- Yeah, Ty's great with handling machines.
Lubba- Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about the excitement you had with that Bowser monster down in the Mushroom Kingdom. Though, I do appreciate you freeing our ship and bringing us this Power Star.
Then Ty came out of the engine room and whipped his forehead with a washcloth.
Ty- And unfortunately, we need more Power Stars if I'm gonna repair this thing fully, mates. I've done the best I could, but this starship is complex, even for my technical skills.
Lubba- This ship is powered by Power Stars. By the way, my name is Lubba. I'm the head hancho of this Luma crew. And like the orange one mentioned, we need as many Power Stars as we can get. You see, our ship is not in hot shape right now. We ran into that Bowser Monster too. Him and a few of his friends attacked us and stole all of the Power Stars mother gave to us. One looked like a penguin with a mallet. Another looked like some kind of Australian bird. And another looked like some baldy nose hair scientist.
Sonic- (Chuckles) That's definitely Baldy McNosehair for yah! Hahaha! Never get's old!
Mario- I don't follow you, Sonic.
Sonic- A while ago, Eggman kidnapped a bunch of alien creatures to build some intergalactic theme park and they called him Baldy Nosehair too. And I still haven't let him live it down yet either.
Lubba- And because of that, we're stranded here.
Suddenly, Luma popped out of Mario's hat.
Lubba- Could it be?! Young master Luma! Wait…if you have the trust of young master Luma…hmm…Say, I just might have a proposition for ya. We need Power Stars to fuel our ship and you want to go and rescue your special one. If you manage to get as much of our Power Stars back, I'd be willing to make this ship your very own for a bit. Wouldn't you agree that sounds like a fair deal?
Mario- I don't see why not.
Lubba- Alright, it's a deal! Ok, gang! Let's get cracking, yeah? I want everything space-shipshape!
Suddenly, Lubba and the other Luma's leaped into the air along with the one Power Star and suddenly changed the ship's appearance in a flash of light. Now the Luma Starship was changed to actually look like Mario's face. Even to the part with the "M" on his hat.
Ty- Now that's something unexpected.
Sonic- I'll say. A starship with Mario's face on it.
Lubba- More like a faceship! Har har!
Sonic and Ty put their palms over their faces.
Lubba- So, what's next?
Mario- You're asking me?
Lubba- This ship has your face one it, not mine. The decision is yours…Captain!
Mario- Well for starters, Luma was only able to give me the power to travel the galaxies and I was only able to bring Sonic and Ty with me. They might need a way to travel the same way.
Lubba- No problem. Lumas!
Then a blue Luma and an orange Luma appeared in front of Sonic and Ty and jumped into them like what Luma did with Mario.
Lubba- Now the blue one and orange one can travel the galaxies too.
Mario- That's good. Also, we have some other friends of ours who will be joining shortly. They also might need the aid of the Luma's once they finally catch up with us.
Lubba- Sure thing, Captain Mario.
Then Mario approached the steering wheel of the ship and grabbed it. Then suddenly, the Luma Starship launched itself like a shooting star.
