Chapter 13: Crawling Around the Queen
(Honeyhop Galaxy)
This galaxy was like one big honey forest filled with trees, bees, and honeycombs everywhere. Mario, Luigi, Kirby, Sonic, and Ty landed and Mario realized why this felt familiar.
Mario- Guys, this galaxy is similar to another galaxy I've been to before during my previous galaxy adventure. This isn't the same galaxy, but those bee creatures are the same.
Then one of the bees approached them.
Bee- Welcome to our sweet village. The queen rules our land!
Mario- It really is just like the other bee galaxy.
Then another bee approached them.
Bee- But those outfits, they don't seem very bee-like.
Then Mario called the Luma Starship.
Mario- Tails, Sly, got any bee mushrooms. If I'm correct as to how this galaxy works, we'll need that power-up.
Tails- No, but I'm picking up some close by.
Then the sound of something crashing could be heard in the background as Mario heard Sly and Yoshi struggling with something.
Sly- Yoshi, that's my boomerang! Give that back!
Tails- Uh…I think I should go help Sly now. Talk to you all soon.
After Tails hung up, Luigi saw a bush full of bee mushrooms.
Luigi- Mario, over here!
Mario and the others approached the bee mushrooms and each took one.
Sonic- This isn't gonna make us look ridicules?
Mario- I don't know, Sonic. But the bee power-up is the only thing we got that can climb up those honeycomb walls.
Then they each ate their bee mushrooms and Mario and Luigi turned into Bee Mario and Bee Luigi. Sonic and Ty also turned into Bee Sonic and Bee Ty, but Kirby transformed into Beetle Kirby.
Beetle Kirby- Well, that was a bit unexpected.
Bee Luigi- You turn into a beetle for something that turns us into bees?
Bee Mario- Is that one of your copy abilities?
Beetle Kirby- It is. I first developed it during my Triple Deluxe adventure.
Bee Ty- You're kidding me! Is this really what we look like?!
Bee Sonic- I look more ridicules in this bee costume than I did in the cloud costume!
Bee Mario- Stop complaining, you two. You can change back to normal once we find the Power Star.
Bee Luigi- But what about Kirby? He's a beetle, not a bee.
Then Beetle Kirby revealed his bug wings on his back.
Beetle Kirby- I think I have an alternative way of climbing this wall.
Bee Mario, Bee Luigi, Bee Sonic, and Bee Ty stuck themselves to the honeycomb wall and began climbing up to the top. Beetle Kirby instead flew up with his beetle wings. At the top was what looked like a small pond with large flowers and lily pads. There were also more bees and a few other bugs that tried to attack them while they were in they looked like bugs.
Bee Mario- I think I see those silver stars floating this area of the galaxy.
Bee Sonic- I can move through this in the blink of an eye. Back in a flash!
Bee Mario- Wait, Sonic! If you touch the water, you'll lose your power.
Bee Sonic stopped as before he could run into the water.
Bee Ty- Sorry mate, but this means you'll have to move at our pace again.
Bee Mario, Bee Luigi, Beetle Kirby, Bee Sonic, and Bee Ty began flying through this small pond searching for more silver stars to remake the Power Star and climbing up to the top of the hill at the center of the pond. They also had to be careful not to hit the water or any of the bugs that weren't bees. Eventually, they reached the top and Bee Mario saw someone he did not expect to see.
Queen Bee- Oh! Goodness! It's always a pleasure to meet a new bee!
Bee Mario- I know you! You're that Queen Bee from that other galaxy!
Queen Bee- So you knew us when we lived in the Honeyhive Galaxy? That would explain why your face looks familiar. But what's up with the beetle over there?
Bee Luigi- He's a friend of ours.
Queen Bee- Anyway, I have a favor to ask. There appears to be this itchy spot on my back…Would you be so kind and take a look at it?
Bee Sonic- Wait! We gotta crawl around this giant bee queen's body?! That feels so…(shivers)…dirty…
Bee Luigi- If Shantae saw us now, she would probably slap our heads upside-down
(Back on the Luma Starship)
Tails, Sly, and Yoshi walking out of the engine room as they saw Mario, Luigi, Kirby, Sonic, and Ty returning.
Tails- Sonic, how did it go?
Sonic- Trust me, Tails…you don't want to know!
Luigi- What we went through to get that last silver star to turn them into the Power Star was a little much for us!
Tails- Well, we might have some news that might cheer you up.
Sly- We discovered another Galaxy Fortress.
