"So, Cackletta managed to steal the Bean Star..." Queen Bean said, "That's correct, and now we have no idea of where she could have gone." Lady Lima confirmed, "I guess we'll have to go all over the Kingdom then" Nezumi relented, "No, that, that's not a good idea." Anomaly responded.
While they were thinking of what to do, Prince Peasley arrived there, "Ah ah ah ah, worry not you guys! After the Mario brothers saved me from my predicament, I have done nothing, but trying to find out where Cackletta has gone, and I discovered that she took refuge in Hooniversity!" Peasly informed, "Of course! Hooniversity is the perfect place to awaken the Bean Star!" Queen Bean exclaimed, "We'll get right to it! Where is it?" Mario asked.
Peasly pulled out a compass and answered "On the coast going left when you exit the castle.", the brothers nodded and were about to head off, but Anomaly's white body hit Mario's neck, while their black body hit Luigi's neck, "Wha- Why did you do that!?" Lady Lima asked, panicking a little, "We're going on our own." Anomaly replied and motioned for Nezumi to follow them, "A-are you sure...?" Lady Lima asked again, "Yes, and don't interrupt us." Nezumi warned.
The two exited the castle and made their way out of the the town, following the left path, "I can see the university or whatever they called it." Nezumi said, "Really? Where?" Anomaly asked, "Look." Nezumi said before lifting Anomaly's white body over her shoulders, letting them have a better view, "That place that has a smiling face?" Anomaly questioned, "That's right!" Nezumi confirmed, "Okay, now put me down" Anomaly requested, "Nope." Nezumi replied, "Can I change your mind?" Anomaly tried a different tactic, "No way!" Nezumi replied, "Well I tried." Anomaly said to nobody.
After just a few steps, the two arrived at the coast, "Wait, already?" Nezumi asked, "I thought it would take more time" Anomaly commented, "Me too, but where is Hooniversity?" Nezumi noted, "I think this is the wrong coast" Anomaly informed, "What makes you say that?" Nezumi asked, "The fact that Hooniversity is in that direction, and I can't see a path that leads there." Anomaly replied, "...F*ck" Nezumi said.
After finding the right path, "Is this it?" Nezumi questioned, hoping it was the right way, "Yes, it's right there." Anomaly replied, looking at the smiling building, "I'm seeing it with my own eyes, and yes, I still find putting a smile on a building useless." Nezumi said, "Great! I'm not the only one!" Anomaly cheered.
The two entered the building and only took a few steps before most of the students came out running, "What the!?" Nezumi exclaimed, "Why are they running away like that!?" Anomaly asked, "Wait! There's someone there!" Nezumi said, pointing to someone that was on the ground, they approached him quickly, Hey! Are you okay!?" Anoamly asked the guy, "C-Cackletta and her crew snuck into the Hooniversity! They transformed all the professors into monsters..." He explained before transforming into a monster himself, which Nezumi knocked out immediatly.
"This is bad" Anomaly commented, "No, really? I couldn't tell." Nezumi sarcastically replied, "Drop the sass and move!" Anomaly ordered, slappoing Nezumi's back to get their point across, and across it came, as Nezumi huried to get in the next room, and saw that it was covered in stars, "Queen Bean wasn't kidding when she said that this was the ideal place to awaken a star." She commented.
Anomaly arrived soon after and pointed out a hallway that brought further in the building, they went through it and saw a weird looking door, "...What's this?" Nezumi asked, "I think it's some kind of security measure, to avoid letting people in." Anomaly replied, "The perfect place to hide..." Nezumi noted as she prepared to punch through the door, but when she made contact, a crack was heard... From her hand, "ABRISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH" You can guess who it was.
"Well then... Let's find another way in." Anomaly said as they dragged Nezumi who was tending to their hand, "What made you think that was a good idea in the first place?" They asked, "Hey look, a plot device." Nezumi said, pointing to a robotic mouse that ran to another path, "We'll follow it, but I still expect you to explain that one time or another." Anomaly stated.
"You know, I just thought about it, but are we supposed to find?" Nezumi asked, "All I know is that this sign makes absolutely no sense, it's a bunch of red and blue dots!" Anomaly stated before turning to their sister, and seeing she wasn't there, "Nezumi?" Anomaly called out, "Hey can you tell me the order left to right?" Nezumi yelled from the next room, which was filled with statues that changed from blue to red.
The finished the puzzle and a magnifying glass that was on the wall opened up and let the sunlight in, making it focus on a mirror, that made the light bounce to another mirror, causing a shutter to open, "That brings us there" Anomaly said, "So we'll find another access there?" Nezumi asked, "Probably not, but probably, there'll be buttons." Anomaly suggested, they passed a room and saw the buttons, "Why do you have to be right?" Nezumi asked with clear annoyance, "The right question is: why are some of them behind gates." Anomaly corrected.
Nezumi just ignored them and tore open the gates that blocked the access to the buttons and pressed all of them, making the mirror in the room they were in before to move and reflect the light on two other mirrors, making the last shutter open, "I hate this place, I hate it so much." Nezumi commented, "You just hate using your brain" Anomaly mocked and earned a hit to the back of the head, "Quit being a bi*ch and lead the way!" Nezumi exclaimed.
Now with a bump on their head, Anomaly went through the door, followed by Nezumi and entered... (You know the place, you know you hate it, I'll skip it.), "Why is this in a building people use?" Nezumi lamented, "You mean, why is there a people retrieval system!? To make people foam at the mouth!?" Anomaly yelled, "Now let's go before I take this place apart!" Anomaly ordered, "No need to tell me twice!" Nezumi agreed.
They went back to the star room and saw that there was still another room left, "No, NO! HELL NO! You go there by yourself this time! I had enough with being put in a barrel!" Nezumi said before sitting down and refusing to move, "...Alright." Anomaly said before going in, and came out a few seconds later, "What? Already?" Nezumi asked irritated, "Remember the mouse we followed? Had to use one as wiring, didn't you notice that the mirror moved?" Anomaly asked, "...Let's- Let's just go okay?" Nezumi pleaded.
The two went in the room and hit a block that caused a magnifying glass to turn around and focus the light on the door making it open, and they heard a horrible noise when they did, "What's that sound?' Nezumi asked, "What sound? All I hear is a weird croak- Wait, it stopped." Anomaly noted before rushing to where the noise came from, "As I thought." Anomaly commented, looking at Cackletta and Fawful, "What!? Pests! Loathsome pests! And at the worst possible moment! And you're three short even!" Cackletta lamented.
"Two are unconscious, the other, we're searching." Nezumi replied, "Yeah, and aside from that, you're one short too." Anomaly added, "What?" Cackletta asked, before hearing the ground beside her moving, she looked to the side and saw Fawful trapped in the floor, "Why you! Alright then! I'll send you flying all the way to the Mushroom Kingdom!" Cackletta exclaimed before transforming in a monstrous form, "That's it?" Nezumi asked, "...Well, since you asked" Cackletta said before creating two copies, "Congrats imbecile, you win fighting two while I take the other." Anomaly explained.
Nezumi sighed before calling the Meteor Staff to herself, "Wait what? You can use that?" Anomaly asked, "Yes, why do you ask?" Nezumi asked back, "I thought only dad could use it." Anomaly explained their confusion, "I'm her biological daugher, if I couldn't use it, then who could?" Nezumi clarified, "Fair point." Anomaly replied as Nezumi planted the staff's magma sphere in the ground and made it circle around two of the Cackletta, blocking their movements
"Oh you got to be f*cking with me!" One of the Cakletta's in the circle complained, "You know, I thought you were also a copy, I was going to only keep you still, but now..." Nezumi commended, "...Why do I do this to myself?" Cackletta wondered right before Nezumi made the flame circle explode,damaging Cackletta to a critical point, "You know, mom said that it could be boring, this is beyond boring." Anomaly commented, "Is that why she let us go with no one escorting us?" Nezumi asked, but got distracted by Fawful jumping out of the ground.
Anomaly and Nezumi were quite bothered by this, "CACKLETTA! Do not have worries! Watch! I'm sucking up your energy with this headgear!" Fawful exclaimed before Cackletta turned into a spirit and got vacuumed by Fawful headgear, "Eeyah ha ha ha! Fawful! finish the job!" Cackletta requested, "YOU HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED!" Anomaly and Nezumi yelled before Prince Peasly dropped in and slashed Fawful, launching him away from the academy.
"Quick! To the fallen Bean Star!" Peasly exclaimed, "Wait, i think Peach's voice made it mad." Anomaly informed, "Why would it though?" Peasly asked, "We have no idea" Nezumi replied, "Well, everything shall be explained in due time, but for now, you two must go to the bottom floor immediatly" the prince exclaimed before flying off.
Nezumi just sat down on the border of the hole and screamed, before getting back up, "Okay, I'm done, I wonder what could be more annoying." She said, meanwhile, in a temple in the middle of the sea, someone sneezed.
"...I have a feeling you jinxed it, let's just go." Anomaly said before heading to the door.
