Galaxy Battle

## **Plot**

Rosalina goes in the Comet Observatory and plans to leave to figure out what her vision meant. However, she sees something move behind a bush and is shocked to see that it's a shroob from the invasion that happened months prior. She tries to capture it but it runs off, scurrying away, turning through a hedge and revealing E.Gadd's time machine in the open. Rosalina becomes confused and goes to see what exactly it is, considering she was the only person not to be involved with its shenanigans until now that is. She begins fiddling with the machine until finding out what exactly it is. She doesn't realize but the shroob comes up right behind her and kidnaps her, taking her to the other timeline. Her lumas witness this and all begin to panic at the sight of their mother being taken.

Rosalina is unable to reach for her wand which she drops on the floor but the shroob has her in a dark energetic hold. They land on the shroob mothership where Princess Shroob awaits her, saying she isn't the one she asked to bring, punishing the shroob by blasting him away with a ray gun. Princess Shroob then decides since Rosalina is no use to her, she will just imprison her until the incinerator machine is ready and plans on killing her. Rosalina is thrown into a cell where she vouches to escape one way or another.

Back on Earth, the lumas desperately try to figure out a plan to save her but come up short. One of them then suggests they make enough energy to break a wall in time and space through using their star power. The other lumas become confused by this and revert against the idea. Then one of the lumas brings up the time pools at the garden, knowing while they can't be there in person, they can try to see if their power can pierce through. Thus, they decide to try it out for themselves and they head into the time pools and tell it to take them where Rosalina is. The lumas see her in the cell trying to find a way out of her new prison and escape, constantly finding no luck. All the lumas try their best to harness their energy and telepathically reach to Rosalina but find no luck in that aspect. That is until one of them decides to use its power on one luma and then the last luma harnesses all the combined energy. This proves successful as Rosalina senses them nearby, she tells them that she can't do anything without her wand but there is still a way for them to reach her. She spots the machine in the hallway where they teleported and says if she can somehow mess with it, it should perhaps activate and go back to the kingdom. Over and over she tries to find things to throw at the machine, finally settling on a small rock that she throws violently at it. To her dismay, it does nothing but then it suddenly starts to shake and it disappears in an instant. Sure enough, it's right back where Rosalina found it back on Earth. The lumas tell her they are going to come rescue her before leaving towards the machine and taking off to the alternate timeline.

They finally manage to enter inside the shroob mothership and try their best to remain hidden and out of sight of any shroob. Rosalina says that there is a key that is able to free her of the cell holding her hostage. She says that the Princess Shroob has it on her dress and that they are more than capable of snatching it without her noticing. The lumas agree and head over to her. They then realize that the throne room is heavily guarded and that there is no direct way to enter without being caught by other shroobs. One of the lumas decides that the best course of action would be to create a diversion in order for the princess to be distracted and therefore, the doors would be wide open to enter the throne room. One luma decides to be brave enough for the plan and starts creating a ruckus, calling the attention of the other shroobs who quickly go over to it. The rest of the lumas enter the throne room to see the princess sound asleep, much to the chaos unfolding right outside. They slowly take the key off her dress and succeed but not without one of the lumas accidently sneezing which when a luma does, it creates a hurricane. This of course awakes the princess no problem, she spots the lumas and immediately darts after them after seeing they stole the key. The lumas race back to Rosalina's cell and attempt to free her as fast as they can before the princess arrives. One of the lumas locks the door but it won't hold for long. Rosalina is luckily freed but unfortunately at the cost of the luma who locked the door, it is taken by the princess shroob who escapes on a pod and drives away in space. Rosalina refuses to return back without all her lumas and takes control over the ship after getting her wand back and beating the shroobs. She flies the mothership and sees that Princess shroob went on an even bigger ship and is about to destroy the mothership. Rosalina luckily veers off the trajectory of the blast and shoots her ship back, destroying a large chunk in the process. The two battle it out in the cosmos and deep space.

After more shooting shenanigans in space, just when it seems like Princess Shroob has the upper hand, the kidnapped luma breaks out of its cage and casts its energy onto the evil alien, causing her to be knocked down and lose control of the bigger mothership. The luma quickly escapes the ship before it collides with a large asteroid, causing a huge explosion. Luckily, the luma is able to evade the flames and Rosalina has them return back to their proper timeline in one piece, but not without figuring out what Dimentio is up to. She asks the lumas what she should do in regards to stopping him. They tell her to do what she needs to and she takes this as a means to just simply doing the one thing they all should have done: kill him.

Dimentio continues feeding on the Dark star's energy and sings another malicious tune about how he feels betrayed by his own kind, despite committing mass genocide against them. Rosalina crashes into his tower once the singing ends and attempts to kill Dimentio on sight. He is joyed to see her, unfortunately, he pins her down with the Dark Star's energy by creating electric chains, fully destroying her wand in the process. She becomes distraught and demands to know how he got his hands on the star and he simply answers that he just had a little help from one of his creations. He monologues on to say how everyone he seems to recruit betrays him as well. He vows this is going to change however, saying that he has a plan to have someone crawl back to him, hinting at Fawful's vulnerable mindscape. Rosalina tells him that he won't be able to control Fawful as he is a changed person. Dimentio could only scoff, saying that it isn't the star's energy that could control him but rather the floro sprout that he planted inside his cranium, saying it has sprouted. He states it as: "Any soul, weak or strong, can break". The lumas attempt to have Rosalina freed but Dimentio rips them away, keeping them in cages. He tells Rosalina that she should never have tried to come to save him because now they will have to find her in the Macroverse, therefore reopening the rifts, and granting Dimentio access to Earth. Rosalina looks more defeated than ever and Dimentio could only smile in her despair. He then comes up with another idea, sending her away to Dimension D, where all his floro sprouts are. Rosalina is surrounded by Floro sprouts and attempts to escape but is proven to be helpless without her wand.
