Chapter 3: The Arrival of a Friend

(Yoshi Star Galaxy)

Mario, Sonic, and Ty landed on the Yoshi Star Galaxy after launching themselves from the Luma Starship.

Ty- Banza! That was one hell of a rush, mate!

Sonic- I've gone faster than that. But at least we can travel the same way Mario does from galaxy to galaxy.

Mario- Let's just focus on getting the Power Star.

Surprisingly, not that long after landing, Mario, Sonic, and Ty found a large open area with what looked like a Yoshi Egg trapped inside a purple force field.

Mario- Is that a Yoshi egg?

Sonic- Do they have Yoshi's on other planets?

Mario- Not that I know of. But this looks like the same egg Yoshi was trapped in when I first met Yoshi.

Ty- But isn't Yoshi with Luigi, Tails, Sly, and the Toad Brigade?

Mario- Let's open the egg and find out.

Suddenly, a Magikoopa appeared as they were approaching the force field around the Yoshi egg.

Magikoopa- Mario! Lord Bowser knew you and some of your friends would be coming soon. You won't be approaching this Yoshi egg!

Mario- So it is a Yoshi egg!

Sonic- And who's gonna stop us? You?

Suddenly, an Uber Frill appeared out of the sky and was standing behind the Magikoopa.

Magikoopa- You shitheads didn't think I would take you on alone?

Ty- Oh shit! It's one of Boss Cass' Uber Frills! Wait. They got a huge and bulky monster like an Uber Frill into space? How's they manage that?

The Uber Frill swung its fist and Mario, Sonic, and Ty were barely able to dodge.

Sonic- How about we wonder about that after we've knocked them out.

Then Sonic tried to hit the Uber Frill with a homing shot, but it just knocked Sonic back.

Sonic- What just happened?!

Ty- Boss Cass built the Uber Frills like tanks. Donkey Kong was the only one I know of who was able to hurt them without a Bunyip to drive.

Then Ty looked up and say a bolder standing over the edge of a cliff nearby and gets an idea.

Ty- Hey dumbasses!

They Ty stuck his rear at the Magikoopa and slapped it a bit.

Magikoopa- You mocking me or something?!

Then the Magikoopa shot a magic attack at Ty, but Ty dodged and hit the Magikoopa with his boomerangs. Then Ty jumped off of the head of the Uber Frill's head.

Uber Frill- (ROAR)

Ty ran up to the cliff wall and made it look like he was cornered by the Magikoopa and the Uber Frill.

Magikoopa- Nowhere to run now, you fleabag!

The Uber Frill threw its fist, but Ty ducked and the Uber Frill hit the cliff wall. Then the bolder at the top was knocked off and was falling down. Then Sonic quickly grabbed Ty and pulled him away from where the bolder was landing.

Magikoopa- You ****ing idiot!

Then the Magikoopa and the Uber Frill were crushed by the bolder and the force field around the Yoshi egg vanished.

Mario- Nice teamwork you two. Now let's see take a closer look at this egg.

Mario approached the egg and was able to shatter it, freeing Yoshi from the egg.

Yoshi- Thank, Mario! Yoshi happy to see you, Sonic, and Ty again.

Ty- So that is Yoshi?!

Sonic- Yoshi, why are here instead of with the others on the Toad Brigade's ship?

Yoshi- Ship gets attacked by Eggman robots. Then Sly meanie push Yoshi off ship and Yoshi put in egg. Yoshi want to give Sly piece of Yoshi's mind!

Ty- Sly pushed you off? That doesn't sound like Sly.

Mario- Well since you're here, you can help us find the Power Stars.

Yoshi- Yoshi know! That big stone tower with Lakitu's has one at top.

Yoshi points to a tower in the distance.

Sonic- I guess we're going there next. Let's hurry and get this over with.

(At the tower of Lakitu's)

Mario, Yoshi, Sonic, and Ty arrived at the tower and Mario was riding on Yoshi's back the whole way there.

Mario- You sure there's a Power Star up there?

Yoshi- Yoshi saw Lakitu's bring Power Star up there with large Lakitu.

Mario- But how are we supposed to get to the top without any stairs to climb?

Yoshi- Yoshi show you.

Then Yoshi wrapped his tongue around one of the hooks around one of the stones on the tower and pulled it out, making a platform for them to climb up on.

Sonic- I guess it's a good thing Ty's older brother pushed Yoshi off the Toads' starship or we might not have gotten up here.

Ty- Don't be hard on Sly, mate! I'm sure he didn't really mean to push Yoshi off.

Sonic- I guess we'll find out once they catch up with us.

Then Sonic saw a strange shadow underneath Ty and quickly pushed Ty to the ground.

Ty- Sonic, what'd you do that…

Before Ty could finish that sentence, a spiny landed right where Ty was standing before.

Sonic- That answer your question, Ty.

They all looked up and saw a bunch of Lakitu's above them as they kept throwing Spiny's at them.

Mario- Sonic, Ty, Yoshi and I can't fight as we make the path to the top of the tower. Keep them off our backs!

More Spiny's were thrown at them, but Sonic countered with his blue tornado to knock the Spiny's right back at the Lakitu's. Ty hit a few more with boomerangs, but both of them weren't able to hit that many Lakitu's, because they were too high up.

Sonic- Shit! We'll never get to them at this rate!

Then Ty held both of his paws in front of him.

Ty- Then how about a boost, mate?

Then Sonic ran up to Ty, and when Sonic put one foot on Ty's paws, Ty thrusted his arms as high as he could to give Sonic a boost into the air. And with that little boost, Sonic was able to hit one of the Lakitu's with a homing shot and knocked it off of its cloud an into the side of the tower.

Lakitu- …I think the hedgehog broke my nose…

Then Sonic noticed he was on the cloud, similar to other Mario games.

Sonic- Hey, I bet we can just take this cloud to the top instead.

Mario- I doubt it, Sonic. You see, those clouds usually don't last long when me or Luigi try and use them before they literally vanish into thin air. But they might last long enough for you and Ty to defeat the Lakitu's.

Sonic- Alright. Hop on, Ty.

After Ty also got in the cloud and they both flew up towards the other Lakitu's. Sonic jumped off the cloud and whacked a few with his homing shots. Ty was still riding the cloud as he pulled out his Flamerangs to burn up some of the other Lakitu's clouds, causing them to fall. Just as the Lakitu's were defeated, the cloud Ty was riding vanished and Ty began to fall as well. Luckily, Sonic was able to grab him as Ty was falling and they both landed on their feet.

Sonic- You might want to work more of your skills instead of all the planning every now and again, Ty.

Ty- You got a problem with how I do thing? You want to make a bet, mate?!

Sonic- A bey…with you?! No thank you! The last time you made a bet, you and Shantae ended up crossdressing as each other for a week. And as cool as you would look dressed as a blue hedgehog, we got a job to do. And I remember you and Shantae spent more time trying to outdo one another than focusing on helping Mario and Luigi with that giant bat. I'd prefer to save silly stuff like that for when I have more free time on my hands.

Then Sonic and Ty heard Mario's voice coming from above them, so they looked up and saw Mario about halfway to the top.

Mario- If you're done gossiping, we'll be seeing you both at the top.

Sonic- We should get going now. Damn. I'll never hear the end of it if I let someone else arrive before me!

(At the top of the Lakitu Tower)

After some climbing and Yoshi's tongue pulling out parts of the tower for them to climb up on, Mario and the others managed to reach the top of the tower. But what was strange was there appeared to be thunderstorm clouds surrounding them from all sides.

Sonic- I don't like this. Feels like a storm is gonna happen here soon.

Mario- I don't like this either. Let's just find the Power Star and get the hell out of here before the storm hits.

Suddenly, a large black Lakitu cloud emerged from all the thunderstorm clouds and approached them. Then out came this very chubby looking Lakitu.

King Lakitu- I see King Bowser was right! Mario and his band of losers did arrive at the tower. Can't believe you managed to get to the top without flying.

Yoshi- That big meanie Lakitu who Bowser gave Power Star to!

King Lakitu- Correct, Lord Bowser entrusted me with the Power Star. And you'll never take it from me!

King Lakitu threw a few Spiny's at them, but Sonic used his blue tornado to keep the Spiny's in the air so he could kick them back at King Lakitu as they hit him in the face. This made King Lakitu angry as he began firing bolts of lightning from his cloud. Mario and the other managed to dodge. Then Ty pulls out his Zapperangs and threw them into King Lakitu's cloud.

King Lakitu- Ha! Those Boomerangs can't do anything to me!

Ty- Those were me Zapperangs I threw. One of my elemental boomerangs. What happens when a cloud is charged with too many electrons?

Suddenly, King Lakitu's cloud turned black and puffed up a bit. Then a huge burst of lightning shot out of the cloud and electrocuted King Lakitu. After King Lakitu got back up, he turned red and got really mad.

King Lakitu- You're all going to ****ing pay!

Then King Lakitu began throwing Spiny's like crazy, way more than Sonic's blue tornado could catch. While at the same time, King Lakitu began shooting as many bolts of lightning his cloud could throw at them. As they kept dodging all of King Latitu's attacks, Mario saw something in the distance right behind King Lakitu.

Mario- Isn't that…

Before King Lakitu even knew it, something rammed into him from behind, knocked him to the ground, knocked King Lakitu out, and made him drop the Power Star. Then to everyone's surprise, Kirby and his Warp Star appeared out of nowhere and Kirby landed in front of Mario and the others.

Kirby- Hi!

Sonic- Kirby?!

Ty- What are you doing here, mate?!

Kirby- It's good to see you all too. Especially since the last time we met was during our unexpected fiasco during our presentation of Smash City.

Mario- It's good to see you again, Kirby. But how did you know we were here?

Kirby- King DeDeDe suddenly vanished from Popstar not too long ago. I figured he must've been up to something, so I tried to track him down. Then I heard there was a spaceship with your face on it traveling around parts of the galaxy. Figured I'd check it out in case it was you guys and to see if you needed my help. So what's the big problem this time?

Mario- Bowser has stolen the power of the stars again and this time he's turned giant. He abducted Princess Peach and fled into the distant galaxies.

Sonic- And we believe Eggman and Boss Cass might be involved, since some of their toys and minions they tried to attack us while we've been in space belong to Eggman and Boss Cass. And like DeDeDe, they also vanished from Mobius and Buramudgee.

Ty- And they're not the only things that went missing. Sonic's Chaos Emeralds and my Mystic Talismans also vanished.

Kirby- That is bad news.

Mario- I guess we now know who the penguin with the mallet that the Lumas told us about is.

Kirby- If DeDeDe really is involved…hey Mario, think you could use another hand on this adventure.

Mario- Sure thing, Kirby. You are part of the team, after all. Just keep in mind, we are also expecting some of our other friends to catch up with us soon.
