Chapter 12: The Double Beach Party

Tails and Sly were playing a game of chess while waiting for Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Kirby, Sonic, and Ty to return while the Toad Brigade and a bunch of Lumas watched them play.

Tails- Checkmate.

Then Sly slapped the chessboard and knocked all the pieces to the ground.

Tails- Don't be such a sour loser. You only lost twelve games in a row. I'd be more than happy to teach you a few tricks if you want.

Captain Toad- Wow! You really stink at this game, Sly…

Then Sly pushed Captain Toad to the ground.

Tails- Hey! There's no reason to act like that, Sly!

Sly- I'm stuck here on this Starship running the Bunyip Beacon for Ty if he needs one of his Bunyips instead of out there on the battlefield.

Tails- You should've thought of that before you pushed Yoshi off the Starshroom.

Sly- Oh yeah? Well how do you think Sonic's going to react when you tell him the location of the next two Power Stars we located?

Tails- Yeah…I know he's not gonna be happy…but I'll tell him anyway.

Then Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Kirby, Sonic, and Ty returned with another Power Star.

Lubba- I see you're back with another Power Star. Nice work there!

Tails- So how was your trip to the Supermassive Galaxy?

Sonic- Not what I would've been expecting in a million years.

Kirby- I'm used to fighting enemies much bigger than me since I'm so small, but that was overboard.

Mario- Not for us. Believe it or not, Luigi and I traveled through Giant Land when Bowser attacked the Mushroom Kingdom for the second time. And all the Goomba's, Koopa's, and other enemies turned giant. Same thing happened in another adventure I had in Little Big Land.

Sonic- You and Luigi sure go to strange places on your adventures.

Tails- Speaking of strange places, I've got good news and bad news. Good news is we've located two Power Stars in one Galaxy.

Ty- That's great, mate!

Sonic- So, where are they, Tails?

Tails- Well…that's the bad news…

(Starshine Beach Galaxy)

Sonic- SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!

The Starshine Beach Galaxy was like one giant beach, similar to the ones on Isle Delfino. In fact, there were people who looked like they were from Isle Delfino living in the galaxy.

Mario- Sonic, calm down for the love of god!

Sonic- Mario, I can't swim! We are surrounded by water! How the **** do you expect me to calm down?!

Yoshi- Sonic, Yoshi no good as swimming either, but Yoshi calm.

Mario- Look, Tails said there were two Power Stars here. One of them is above the water. You, Yoshi, and Ty can grab that one while me, Luigi, and Kirby grab the one in the water.

Ty- I think that's fair since you and Yoshi can't swim.

Sonic folded his arms and put on a pouty face.

Sonic- …Fine…

(At the beach of the Starshine Beach Galaxy)

Mario, Luigi, and Water Kirby were looking around.

Luigi- So Mario, where to?

Mario- I think I see bubbles with those mini silver stars inside of them in several places on the beach. I see some over by that huge tower coming out of the water. Funny how this reminds me of the time when Bowser Jr. polluted Isle DelFino to frame me.

Water Kirby- Better not be any of those damn Cosmic Clone like in that cloud galaxy when we were gathering silver stars to make a Power Star. Those were a huge pain in the ass.

Mario- I don't think so since the water is extremely deep. Guess it's a good thing Sonic went to get the other Power Star then.

Mario and Luigi began swimming towards this mushroom shaped tower in the middle of the ocean. However, Water Kirby rode the wave with his own water powers.

(At another part of the Starshine Beach Galaxy)

Sonic, Ty, and Yoshi arrived at this huge tower around the edge of the water.

Sonic- There's the star. I can dash up this tower no prob.

Ty- I think you might want to think again, mate. The tower is surrounded by a deep under tow.

Then Sonic saw all the water around the tower.

Sonic- …****…

Yoshi- Yoshi see clouds. If Sonic and Ty had cloud power-up…

Sonic- But where are we going to find a cloud flower?

Then Tails calls on the communicator.

Tails- I can help you with that. The Luma's and the Toad Brigade gathered a whole bunch of the Mario's power-up items while you've been gathering Power Stars. I've done some work on your Bunyip Beacon machine to teleport the power-up items as well as your Bunyips.

Ty- That's impressive, but please don't tamper with any more of me inventions without me permission. Those Bunyips are delicate machines.

Then two cloud flowers appeared in front of them.

Sonic- Not one for Yoshi?

Tails- Like Kirby, the power-up items don't work on him.

Yoshi- That ok. Yoshi can catch in case one falls off cloud.

Ty ate a cloud flower and turned into Cloud Ty.

Cloud Ty- I don't see how we can run into any trouble jumping from cloud to cloud until we've reached the top.

As Cloud Ty was about to jump on to one cloud, a water cannon on the tower fired a bubble and Cloud Ty got caught in it. The water changed him to regular Ty and flew up high above the ground before it popped. Then Ty belly flopped into the under tow and sunk under the water for a moment. Yoshi was looking concerned, but Sonic began laughing his head off as a soggy Ty crawled out of the water. Ty walked up to Sonic and pushed him into the water.

Ty- Oh dear. I wonder how that happened, mate.

Then Sonic crawled out of the under tow and walked up to Ty while still dripping wet.

Sonic- Why you!

Yoshi stood in between them and tried to keep them apart until Tails called on the communicator.

Tails- Break it up you too! You still have a job to do!

Sonic and Ty at the same time- Fine…

Tails- I'll send over another cloud flower for you, Ty. Try to be more careful this time.

Sonic and Ty ate another batch of cloud flowers and turned into Cloud Sonic and Cloud Ty so they could get back on the clouds. This time they knew to time their jumps to avoid the water cannons.

(Back on the Luma Starship)

Mario and others arrived with the two Power Stars they grabbed on Starshine Beach Galaxy.

Sonic- Glad that's over.

Then Sonic saw Tails and Sly approaching them.

Sonic- Tails, please tell me there's no water in the next Galaxy!

Tails- No, but there will be a bunch of bugs.

Sly- Next Power Star is located in a hive galaxy called the Honeyhop Galaxy.

Mario- Strange. Why does that seem familiar to me?
