Chapter 6: The Bug Hive

(The Puzzle Plank Galaxy)

Luigi, Ty, and Kirby landed in this sunny looking Galaxy with wooden areas, bugs, and saws everywhere. However, Luigi was actually wearing the wrong outfit.

Luigi- What kind of Galaxy is this?

Ty- Feels more like a saw mill with all this wood and saw blades everywhere.

Then Ty and Kirby looked at Luigi and stared at him for a moment.

Luigi- What?

Ty- Luigi…what the hell are you wearing?!

Luigi looked at his clothes and saw he was dressed like a cowboy (the cowboy outfit from Mario Party 2).

Luigi- I must've grabbed the wrong outfit when we rushed to get to the next galaxy.

Kirby- Let's just find that Power Star and regroup with the others as soon as possible. I've got a bad feeling about this place.

Luigi, Kirby, and Ty jumped to this one wooden platforms only to see it crawling with Wigglers.

Luigi- Oh no! Wigglers! Guys, whatever you do, don't attack these guys!

Kirby- Why?

Luigi- Because most of our power-ups don't hurt them and jumping on them only makes them angry! Yoshi eating them has so far been the only way to beat them!

Kirby- Eating them, huh?

The Wigglers eventually noticed Luigi, Kirby, and Ty and began to charge for them. Then Kirby used in inhale to swallow one of the Wigglers.

Ty- You did say eating them worked and Kirby can eat everything like Yoshi can.

Kirby finished inhaling the last of the Wiggler, a star pad appeared for them to get to the next area with. The three of them landed on another wooden platform, but there were three strange creatures that looked almost like Kirby.

Kirby- Oh shit! Not them!

Ty- DeDeDe's minions?

Kirby- Yeah, they're called Scarfies! They might look cute now, but they can show their ugly sides in a heartbeat and the worst part is I can' inhale them for some reason! And because I don't have any of my copy abilities at the moment, I'm powerless to stop them!

Luigi- These guys?

Then Luigi approached one and patted it on the head before turning around.

Luigi- I don't see anything wrong with them.

Then those three Scarfies changed from cute to a one-eyed monster.

Kirby- Luigi, look out!

Then one of the Scarfies bit Luigi in the rear and made Luigi jump into the air in pain. Before the Scarfies could attack again, Ty knocked the out with his boomerangs.

Kirby- Nice work there, Ty.

Ty- We need to move, because I don't think we and to stay much longer!

Luigi and Kirby were confused at first, but then Ty pointed at all the saw blades slicing away at the wooden platform they were standing on.

Ty- Unless we want to fall into space, we need to find the next star pad and fast, mates!

The three of them began rushing as fast as they could to try and get to the next area while trying to avoid the saw blades slowly cutting off different parts of the platform. While at the same time trying to avoid all the bug enemies that tried to get in their way. But as one blade was about to fall into space, Kirby used his inhale to swallow the saw blade and turn into Cutter Kirby.

Cutter Kirby- POYO! Just thought it would be wise to get a copy ability now before we move on.

They eventually made it to the star pad which took them to another wooden platform.

Luigi- This better be where the Power Star is. I'm getting tired of smelling sawdust.

Ty- Strange. There's a picture of a beetle on this wooden platform.

Cutter Kirby- That beetle looks familiar for some reason. Almost looks like…

Before Cutter Kirby could finish that sentence, a large beetle creature fell from the sky and almost landed on them. Luckily, they dodged.

Cutter Kirby- Bugzzy!

Ty- You know this bug?

Cutter Kirby- He works for King DeDeDe.

Luigi- Well, he has the Power Star in between his pinchers.

Cutter Kirby- This means we have to fight Bugzzy to get it.

Luigi tried to jump on Bugzzy, but Bugzzy caught Luigi's foot with his pinchers and tossed Luigi into the air. Then more saw blades appeared right where Luigi was about to land. Ty quickly contacted Sly on his communicator.

Ty- Sly, I need the Battle Bunyip, now!

Sly- Sure thing, Ty.

Then a red machine (similar to Ty's Shadow Bunyip but much smaller) was teleported in front of Ty and Ty quickly jumped in. Then the machine slammed its fists into the ground and made a shockwave that blew away the saw blades before Luigi could land on them and get sliced to pieces.

Cutter Kirby- That's not your Shadow Bunyip.

Ty- It's a Battle Bunyip. Not as powerful as me Shadow Bunyip, but this one can make shockwaves. I have a bunch of different Bunyip machines each design for different situations.

Luigi- How did that bug just stop my jump attack?

Cutter Kirby- Bugzzy is good at grabbing his opponents and throwing them. Best to hit him from a distance. Like this!

Then Cutter Kirby threw a small blade at Bugzzy and knocked him to the ground. Before Bugzzy could get back up, Ty threw his Flamerangs at Bugzzy, forcing him to drop the Power Star.

(Hightail Falls Galaxy)

Mario, Yoshi, and Sonic arrived at this galaxy that looked like a bunch of wooden bridges surrounded by a giant water fall.

Sonic- We're not gonna have to go into the water, are we?

Mario- No Sonic, Tails said it was at the top of this obstacle course of a bridge. Is that a 90-degree angle over there?!

Mario rode on Yoshi's back as Yoshi and Sonic walked over to a slant in the bridge.

Sonic- Wow! That is a 90-degree angle climb. I know I can run up there with my speed, but I don't think Yoshi can run that fast.

Just then, Yoshi as a pepper nearby and wrapped his tongue around it. After Yoshi ate the pepper, he changed from green to orange and began running up the wall.

Sonic- I guess that solves that problem. Never thought I'd say this, but wait for me!

Then Sonic charged his spin dash and began dashing up the wall too. Eventually, they arrived at an area that wasn't a 90-degree angle drop. Sonic arrived there first (no surprise) and the pepper's effect wore off when Yoshi made it.

Mario- Good work there, Yoshi!

Yoshi- But Yoshi no want to that again soon. That uncomfortable.

Sonic- Then I got bad news.

Then Yoshi saw Sonic pointing at another 90-degree angle wall only it was more complicated than simply going up to the top and they could see the Power Star floating in one corner of that wall.

Yoshi- ****!

Mario- I'll buy you all the Yoshi Fruit you want when we get back to Earth. Let's just hurry and get that Power Star.

(Back at the Luma Starship)

Tails was looking at the Bunyip Beacon while Sly was standing behind him.

Sly- Be careful with that! It's a very delicate machine!

Tails- Don't worry, Sly. I'm good with machines. I'll admit, your bother Ty is a bit better than I am, but I still know what I'm doing. This is pretty cool that it can teleport those Bunyip machines to wherever Ty is. I wonder how it works.

Sly- It would take far too long to give you the full details, but we've been using some rare stones called Thunder Eggs to power it.

Then Luigi, Kirby, and Ty arrived back on the Luma Starship with the Power Star they got from Bugzzy.

Lubba- Welcome back.

Sly- Ty, did that Battle Bunyip help out?

Ty- It did, Sly. But the place was crawling with bugs! (Shivers) I don't want to talk about it!

Luigi- Us neither!

Kirby- Are Mario, Sonic, and Yoshi back yet?

Then Mario, Yoshi, and Sonic arrived on the Power Star they got and Yoshi wasn't looking so good.

Ty- Yoshi, you feeling ok? I haven't seen you like this since you drank that weird stuff on Pi'illo Island.

Yoshi- Yoshi need lie down…

Mario- I think Yoshi needs a break.

Sonic- And what is Luigi wearing?

Luigi- Can we just dropped the fact I put on the wrong pare of clothes?!

Mario- Hey, where's the Toad Brigade?

Tails- I picked up another Power Star somewhere the Boulder Bowl Galaxy and the Toad Brigade took their Starshroom and left. Foolish move in my opinion. I also detected another Power Star in the Cosmic Cove Galaxy, but that Galaxy is full of water.

Sonic- (Shivers) I think I'll take the Boulder Bowl Galaxy.

Mario- Ok. Sonic and I will go after the Toad Brigade at the Boulder Bowl Galaxy. Ty, Kirby, you go to the Cosmic Cove Galaxy. And Luigi, you stay here and keep an eye on Yoshi. He's not doing too good after all those peppers he ate.

Ty- In that case, Sly, ready the Sub Bunyip for this galaxy.
