Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bringing in another chapter to the fanfic! Whew, has the battle been long, but the “Battle for the Universe” segment of the Comet Observatory arc is reaching its conclusion.... and we’ve got a black hole, of all things! I fear this might make someone wet their leggings, I tell you! Hope things turn out well, despite this insane turn of events. ...Oh yeah, almost forgot. I do not own any of the Mario characters or the iDOLMASTER characters; the Mario characters belong to Nintendo and the iDOLMASTER characters belong to Namco Bandai. So, with all that out of the way, let’s resume the intergalactic story segment!
...Seriously, a black hole. What next?
*Opening Theme: “Baby’s Tears” by Riyu Kosaka (Sky Girls / Dance Dance Revolution)*
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 44
The Battle for the Universe Part 7: The Threat of the Black Holes! Is This the End?!
*Center of the Universe ~ Throne Room Remants ~ Giant Black Hole and Smaller Black Holes*
*Insert Theme: “Catastrophe” (Super Mario Galaxy)*
Everyone present, except Benjamin,was gazing at the giant Black Hole, then turned in multiple directions as they looked at the other super massive Black Holes in where other suns from other galaxies in the distance perished from the unbearable gravitational strain. Producer-san and Ritsuko stared with sweat falling down their faces, wondering if escape is even possible.
“Oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, oh, bad bad bad bad BAD! This is BAD!!” The bespectled young producer began to panic while trying to hold her glasses in place. Producer-san, who looked really shaken up like a smoothie, stared at Ritsuko. “Like that is mediocrely detailed on a scale of how dreaded the situation is?!?!”
Rosalina, looking at how bleak the situation has turned, yet keeping her calm composure without flinching, turned to the group with a serious expression. “If anytime is a good time to flee, now is the time to run!”
“NO NEED TO TELL US TWICE!” Wario and Waluigi shout before turning tail and running away.
*Insert Sound Effects: “Ricochet”, “Fred Moves the Car” (The Flintstones)*
Taking no chances at lingering around any longer, Mario shouted out loud. “Let's-a get outta here!”
“H-HURRY!!!” Luigi added, while already starting to dash off, and soon enough all of Team Mario began to flee the scene, with the Idols following, screaming for their lives... well, except for Ryou and Hibiki, who decided to make a dedicated team effort in escorting the stiff Makoto out, considering she hasn’t fully recovered from that crystallization Bowser Jr. threw on her as an act of revenge.
Meanwhile, Corporal Paraplonk, seeing the bleakness of the situation getting worse, Looked around for the Bowser front onboard the Doomship. Upon locating the Koopa King, who was desparately trying to escape, the commander called out. “Your Desperateness!”
Hearing Paraplonk’s familiar voice, Bowser looks up to see Paraplonk's Doomship bringing down a lift to the Koopa King. Wasting no time and not wanting any casualties to this calamity, Bowser quickly ordered, “Corporal Paraplonk! Contact the fleet to form up and get us out of here! NOW! “ Quickly responding to the order, the Koopa commander ordered up the troops to get on the lift to board the Doomship as soon as possible. Iggy, onboard as well, looked at his computerized device... and his eyes practically bulged out at what he found. “King Dad!!! The situation's far worse than we feared!”
“WHAT?!” Bowser stared at the Koopaling as he stared in utmost disbelief at what was on the screen, enough to grab Bowser Jr.’s attention. “What is it, Iggy?!”
*End Theme*
*Ceneter of the Universe ~ Landing Dock ~ Giant Black Hole and Smaller Black Holes*
*Insert Theme: “Speedy Comet in Orbit” (Super Mario Galaxy)*
Everyone was still running through the hall , heading straight to the Comet Observatory and the Starship Mario. As the group continued the retreat, Producer-san witnesses something white streak by the corner of his eye. Knowing that right now is not the correct time think of what the white light was, the black haired man shrugged as he continued his escape.
Within moments, the group successfully arrived to their destination, but to their misfortune, they see more colossal Black Holes in the distance. The Producer’s jaw dropped when he saw some white beacons get swallowed up by the black holes. “You got to be kidding me! HERE, TOO?!” Theman shouted in dismay. Yoshi points to even more black holes that just appeared as well. “There's more of them back here!”
Benjamin flies from the Comet Observatory to in front of the group with an urgent look on his face. “Guys! Everyone get the *coin!* onboard now! Things have gotten god-level worse than you can imagine! I'll explain the weight of the crisis on the way!"
Taking the initiative, Producer-san responded, “The Idols and I are leaving with Rosalina and the Lumas!” Mario agreed with the man’s decision with one of his own. “Okay! Team Mario's-a gettin' on da Starship Mario, then! Take-a da wheel, Lubba!”
“AYE AYE, CAPTAIN MARIO!” Lubba saluted before grabbing the steering wheel of the ship. Rosalina readied her magic wand and announced. “Let not waste any more precious time.” Without hesitation, all members of the groups went onboard the respective vessel. Upon completion, the two ships make their getaway.
*End Theme*
*Outer Space ~ Abnormal Black Hole Field*
*Insert Theme: “Hurry!” (Super Mario Galaxy 2)*
*Comet Observatory*
*Engine Room*
Benjamin opened a communication from aboard the Comet Observatory’s Engine Room through a video communicator, intent to contact Mario. “Can you hear me?” the visible face of Mario on the screen responded. “Loud and-a clear!”
“We're heading into the bottom, there are very fewer giant Black Holes there, our chances of escaping are greater going this way!" Benjamin informed the plumber hero of a possible escape route in mind until he noticed something that has made things worse than they need to be....
*Outside*
Meanwhile, within the corners of the Observatory, some Lumas, young and old, panic and scream during the present crisis shown through an installed screen, while others were comforted by the Idols.
“WAAAAaaaahhhh!!!” A Baby Luma in Takane’s arms began to cry, into which the Silver Queen gently comforted. “It's okay, we'll get out of this all right, I promise!” All of a sudden, Benjamin rushed towards the group with a look that just says “We have really bad news” to Ritsuko.
“What is this bad news you have for us, Benjamin-san?!” The young producer asked the interdimesnional being, to which he responded with an alert tone. “It's the Black Holes! What is happening to them is abnormal! The physical size and gravitational force is growing larger and stronger WITH EVERY PASSING TEN SECONDS!"
“Holy Fettucinni! That's-a bad!” Mario shouted out from his video transceiver from the Starship Mario.
“NANDA?!” Ritsuko, as well as Producer-san, shouted in utter shock as a response. Rosalina entered the conversation with a grim look on her face. “I feel it, too... If it keeps up at this rate...!”
Benjamin joined in to confirm Rosalina’s concern. “THEN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WILL EVENTUALLY BE ERASED!”
*Doomship*
“WHAT?! Are you serious, Iggy?!” Bowser, completely astounded at what the Koopaling admitted, at the same time as Benjamin and Rosalina, Looked at Iggy with complete disbelief.
“The device just ain't gonna' say ‘No,’ King Dad! They are still expanding as we speak and growing time limit is GRADUALLY decreasing!” Iggy impatiently spoke, pointing to the data on his device, which was enough to make Kammy cringe.
“Well, this is absolutely NOT how I'm putting my lights out!” The Magikoopa matriarch snorted while crossing her arms. Bowser looked at the old hag and nodded. “You took the words out of my mouth, you old hag. It's not the end for us unless I say so! Follow that comet and that ugly faceship! Full speed ahead!” Without hesitation, Corporal Paraplonk hit the boosters on the Doomship to attempt to catch up to the group in pure haste.
*Comet Observatory*
Miki was bracing herself when she caught sight of Bowser’s Airship fleet in a panicked pursuit. “Aw, c'mon! Nano...” The blonde Idol pouted, feeling that the Koopa King is being too stubborn for his own good.
“I know the Black Holes are our main concern, Miki...” RItsuko looked at the worried Visual Queen, but then noticed the Airship Fleet following them. “Oh, GIVE US A BREAK! He still wants us THIS badly?!”
Benjamin took the time to correct the bespectacled Producer/Idol. “Bowser's only following us to only get out of here; he's not one to stay in dangerously natural disasters. Speaking of dangerous- THE TIME LIMIT OF THE BLACK HOLE'S EXPANSION HAS DECREASED TO FIVE SECONDS!"
The thought of the shortened time limit of the disaster alone was near to enough for Ritsuko to nearly drop her glasses. “DIDN'T YOU SAY THEY GROW EVERY TEN SECONDS EARLIER?!?!”
“FOR *COIN*'S SAKE!!! I AM NOT CONTROLLING THOSE *COIN* ABYSSAL GLUTTONOUS COSMIC VOIDS THAT LEAD TO GOD-KNOWS-WHERE!!!" Benjamin snapped in a berserk freak out, enough to startle Ritsuko so much, she is unable to find any more words to say. Benjamin calmed down a bit only to notice Ritsuko’s face in shock. “Sorry..."
Yukiho stared at the black holes decimate many planets, and without warning, began to cry...
“In a time like this...” The poor girl started with got the attention Makoto and Ryou. “Yukiho?”
“In a time like this...” Yukiho started as she stared at the many black holes with her tear ridden eyes. “THIS IS ONE THING BURYING MYSELF IN A HOLE WILL NEVER SAVE ME FROM!!!” All of a sudden, the poor Idol started to lose control of her emotions as started to lose her mind in the tears she shed and in crazy uncontrollable laughter. “MY WORTHLESS PITIFUL LIFE ENDS IN A SPACIAL VORTEX OF UNTOLD LIFE-TAKING PERIL WITH ALL MY FRIENDS AND ALLIES AT THE SAME TIME!!”
Not wanting to hear any of the hopeless banter, Makoto pushes Ryou aside and placed her hands on Yukiho’s shoulders. “YUKIHO! GET A *COIN* HOLD OF YOURSELF!”
Within moments, the saddened Idol’s crazy laughter quickly changed to uncontrollable sobbing, beckoning the tomboyish Idol to hug her in the hope to keep her safe to the very end.
*End Theme*
*Far Rear End Airship*
*Insert Theme: “Black Powder” (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)*
The Koopa helmsman of this particular airship of the fleet heard a loud creaking sound. ‘H..HUH?!”
The very Koopa sees part of the ship behind him breaking apart from crimson lightning streaks. Realizing what is happening, the Koopa began to scream. “Oh no! NONONONO ... NOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..” Within mere moments, the unfortunate Koopa, along with the rest of the crew, were caught in the grip of the vortexes, with the very vessel itself the last to vanish.
*Distant Airship*
The Koopa captain of this particular ship looked behind himself and was horrified when he sees the Airships in the back being destroyed one after the other by the strong gravation pull of the black holes. Not want ing to take any chances, he turned to a nearby Spiked Goomba. “You! Contact the Doomship!”
*Doomship*
“WHAT?! Are you serious?!” Paraplonk was tongue tied when the shipmate contacted him on his walkie talkie.
“*KSHRT* YES! The rear is being destroyed one after the- AAAAA- *DRZTTZ*” The shipmate shouted of the ship’s status... before losing contact when he too was sucked into the vortex.
Worried to how things are turning out, the Koopa commander flies next to the crow's nest to view the losses and confirm tehm to the Koopa King. “Your Highness! The Black Holes are devouring the rear of the fleet and is catching up!”
“AUGGHH!!!!” “WHAAUGH!!!” Bowser and Bowser Jr. shout in utter shock at what they heard.
“The situation's get more dreaded and tense by every second...” Kamek cried out in great fear. Bowser, frowning for a moment that his plans were really blown apart irreparably and having no choice but to throw his pride aside considering the great peril, turned to Paraplonk. “Corporal! Get me that Megaphone!”
*Comet Observatory and Starship Mario*
Wasting no time, Bowser made good use of the Megaphone. “PEACH! MARIO! IDOLS!”
“BOWSA?!” Mario shouted in shock as he turned to the direction of the Doomship.
*Doomship*
Everyone on the Doomship, except obviously the Koopa King himself, went and covered their ears as Bowser shouted on the Megaphone. “I'M LOSING THE BACK OF MY FLEET TO THOSE INFERNAL BLACK HOLES! THEIR GRIP IS CATCHING UP! LET'S PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AND PUSH IT TO THE MAX! LET'S GO!!!”
*Comet Observatory and Starship Mario*
“He said WHAT?!?!” Hibiki stood in complete shock of Bowser’s sudden change in behavior.
“I want to get out of here now, nanoooo!” Miki whined, not wanting to be part of this cataclysmic chaos any longer. Producer-san nodded at the blonde Idol and turned to the cosmic princess. “Rosalina, please hurry!” Rosalina nodded and added a bit more of her magic to her space station.
“Punchit, Lubba!!!” Luigi shouted to the chuby Luma, to which he frowned. “I'm tryin', Captain, but this is as fast as she goes!”
Peach stared out into the darkness of the black holes and quietly spoke. “Mario... is this the end?”
Mario, despite the severity of the situation, turned to Peach with a determined face of bravery that defies even fate itself. “Mario neva says-a "Game Over" until-a Mario says so. 'Cuz-a Mario neva gives-a up hope even in da face of da most bitta crisis!”
Daisy, beginning to look very scared, began to tightly squeeze Luigi out of fear. “DON'T LET ME GO, LUIGI!” Luigi began to gag from the strain of the Sarasa Kingdom princess’ arms. “Nnnrhk... Daisy...”
Ritsuko looked at the complete chaos unfolding and frowned. “Good grief, things are getting out of my hands so easily, I have no control over it.” Producer-san couldn’t help but look at the black holes. “If the gravitational force is gradually growing and catching up, it will be our turn soon...”
*End Theme*
*Doomship*
*Insert Theme: “End of the World” (Super Paper Mario)*
The middle of the Airship Fleet, after a good amount of time, is sucked in the grip of the Black Holes and the nearest ones next to the Doomship are swallowed with their crews, leaving only the main vessel.
“Papa, I can feel the wind from here!!!” Bowser Jr. cried out as the forces of the black became much stronger. What the Koopa Prince didn’t notice was he seems to be in midair. “Wha- AH!”
“D'aaah!!” Lemmy shouted before grabbing Junior’s leg,but finds himself in midair as well!
“Oh!” Iggy jumped in to help grab the down down, but was also caught as well. “King Dad, HELP!”
Bowser noticed and grabbed Iggy before he floated away while keeping a hand on Lemmy. The Koopa Prince, fearing for his life, screamed. “DON'T LET GOOOOO!!!”
Desperate to get his son as well as the Koopalings to safety, Bowser eyed at the two Magikoopas. “Grrrrrrngh... KAMEK! KAMMY! I NEED MORE WEIGHT!!”
“Your Cosmicness!” Kamek shouted, while Kammy quickly brandished her wand with her teeth gritted. “Wand, don't let me down here!” With determination in the Magikoopas’ eyes, they wave their wands to encase the Koopa King into living metal, while weighing him down with chains and steel blocks.
Almost half of the front fleet is broken up from the gravitational force by the time the Magikoopas finish their spell. Bowser, despite being very greatly weighed down, begins to slowly drift toward the giant vortex. Despite the desperate situation, Bowser chose to stubbornly hold on to dear life as he shouted. “MORE WEIGHT!!”
Lemmy, beginning to feel the strain, yelped. “OH NO! My hands are getting kinda' slippery!”
“NO! DON'T LET GO, LEMMY! EVER!!” Bowser Jr. shouted, but when things couldn’t get any worse than it already is, a crimson lightning bolt strikes through the base of the Doomship's mast. Paraplonk, hanging on for dear life as well. “Nnn... Nnnnrrrgh...!” As he struggled to continue hisclimb, the Koopa commander lost his grip. “NO!!!” The elite Koopa collided with the mast headfirst before colliding with Kamek. “Ohhh, NOOO-!”
“GWARGH!” The Magikoopa yelped as he was caught in the suction. Kammy didn’t fare any better than her son as she saw the broken mast fly right to her face and smack her airborne. “EEYAAAUGH!”
“What...?” Bowser realizes his metal skin is shattered and stood like a deer in the headlights as the Koopa King sees Kamek, Kammy, Paraplonk and the mast heading his way. “NO NO NO—UWAHH!!!”
*WHAM!!*
The last of the Airships and the Doomship break apart and the pieces along with the screaming crew drift into one of the abyssal spheres.
(Paraplonk) “UWAAAAAAAaaaaaa...!!!”
(Kamek and Kammy) “GYAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa...!!!”
(Iggy and Lemmy) “WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhhhhh...!”
(Bowser Jr.) “PAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa...!”
(Bowser) “This is NOT happening! Not to us! Not to me! I won't accept this!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo...!!!!!”
Within mere moments, all of the Koopa Troop disappear within the vortex...
*End Theme*
*Starship Mario*
*Insert Theme: “The Last Day” (Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask)* (I can’t look....)
“Bowsa's a goner!” luigi gaped in fright, but just before things could even have a chance to get better, it became extremely worse as both Peach and Daisy scream for dear life as they feel the wind from the suction. Within moments, Hammer Bro, Boo, Shy Guy, Blooper and a few Lumas working on the Starship are caught as well, helpless and screaming.
“It's catching up to us!!!” Wario yelped, tightly gripping on his yellow hat, while Waluigi whines out of desperate fright. “Now what?!” As if by a sick trolling chance of luck, a stray Geode from the remnants of Geodusus passed by, right in the chubby tub of lard’s sight. “Oh, no!” But just as he jumped to grab the stone, the rival of Wario began to notice his blunder. “..Oopsies..”
“Ohh, WARIO, YOU IDIOT!” Waluigi yelped as he grabbed the fatso’s leg, to no avail, as the two miscreants were sucked in together. “WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...!!!!!”
“Those dimwitted morons!” Birdo frowned as she saw the two rivals disappear.
*Comet Observatory*
The Comet Observatory is not faring any better than the Starship Mario as the Idols scream, trying to brace themselves from the howling winds of the powerful vortex. Benjamin, still hanging on to that last thread of hope, shouted, “EVERYONE!!! NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!!"
As if hit by something, the Pink Luma Yukiho rescued began to get caught in the suctioning force of the black hole. “Bii... pii!”
“Ahh...NOOO!!!!” Yukiho extended her arm in an attempt to save her friend, but it was for naught as the Pink Luma drifted into the vortex. “Piiiiiiiiiiiiii...!!!”
Within moments, the Observatory began to tilt violently. “AAAAHHH!!!” The Producer, as well as the Idols, yelped as they try to maintain their balance. Unfortunately, Iori began to lose her footing from the sudden tilt. “Kya!” Within moments, she completely lost her balance and rolled across the floor right into the vortex!
“Iori!!!” “Iori-san!!” Producer-san, Ritsuko, Takane, and Yayoi scream as the poor rich girl was spiraling right into the vortex! “KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
“No! Iori's been sucked in! Uwoh--!” Benjamin shouted before he noticed that the black hole is about to claim him as well.
“AH!” “BENJAMIN-SAN!!” Producer-san and Hibiki shouted as the interdimensional being was the next to be caught in the vortex, ending up doing his best Howie scream. “GYEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHH...!!!"
*Starship Mario*
“...AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Iori was still spiraling out of control when Yoshi caught sight of her.
“IORI!!” The green bipedal cried out before grabbing on to something and using his long chameleon-like tongue to catch Iori’s leg, which succeeded.
“Y..YOSHI!!!” The tsundere yelped, knowing now is not the right time to argue. Yoshi eyed on Birdo. “Birdo, use my tongue to reel Iori in!”
“R-Right!” Birdo nodded reluctantly and slowly pulled the long tongue to reel in the poor Idol. But before the two bipedal dinosaurs could safely get the Idol on the ground, a flying piece of debris went on a trajectory course for Birdo’s head. “Birdo, look out!!” Iori yelped, but too late, the debris conked Birdo in the head. “*HONK*?!” The dazed pink dinosaur fell on Yoshi’s tongue.
“WAAHH!!” Yoshi cried in aching pain and lost his grip on the Idol. “Y-YOSHI!” Iori screamed as she pulled into the vortex. Birdo, turning a serious face, jumped in to make a desperate bid to save the Idol, but unfortunately was dragged into the spiraling abyss with her.
“No!” Yoshi cried out and leapt in a reckless desperate bid to save both Iori and Birdo with his now injured tongue. The trio ended up screaming as they fell into theabyssal depths of the black hole.
“OH NO!” Mario screamed, worrying for his dino pal and the beloved tsundere, as well as Peach. “Iori! Yoshi!”
As things have now began to look like pure Grade A nightmare fuel, Lubba too was getting lifted into the suction. “SAYONARA, CAPTAAAAAAAaaaaaaains...!!!” The large Luma’s voice echoed before it disappeared.
“Lubba!” Luigi yelped, but his greater fears were realized when he saw Daisy losing her grip. “LUIGI, I'M SLIPPING!!!” The green plumber wasted no to bravely try to save the Sarasa Land princess as he dove in to catch her hand. “DAISY! Nnnngh...! MARIO! This-a may look like ‘Game Over’ for us all!!!” The green plumber brother strained as tears came out of his left eye as he held onto the ledge.
“No, it's not, Luigi! Neva give up hope!” Mario protested, trying his hardest to encourage his brother.
“BUT I’M...” Luigi started, but his grip gave way and was pulled in with Daisy...
(Luigi) “UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa....!!!”
(Daisy) “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo...!!!”
“DAISY!!!” “LUIGIIIIII!!!” Peach and Mario scream, but then soon enough, the blonde Princess now began to lose her grip as well.
“MARIOOOO!!! IT'S TOO STROOONNNGGG!!!” The princess cried as she too is losing her strength to the black hole. Mario quickly grabbed her hand, but as his luck finally ran out, he too is swept away...
(Mario) “WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa...!!!!!”
(Peach) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhh...!!!!!”
*Comet Observatory*
Rosalina froze as the Comet Observatory and the Starship were being dragged closer to the black hole. “..No..”
“M-Mario-san...” Ritsuko froze, finding it hard to believe that even the Mushroom Kingdom hero would be lost, but then, the Producer felt the place violently tilt one last time. “UWAHH!!”
By that one last push, Yukiho, Makoto, Ryou, Yumeko, Ayane, Hibiki, Takane and Yayoi are pulled into the gravitational force. Soon after that, Ai, Eri, Hibiki, Azusa and the Futami Twins lose their grip and are sucked away..
“MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Young Master Luma cried before he was sucked in next, followed by Polari. “YOUNG MASTER!!! MILADYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyy...!!!” Rosalina, unable to resist the powerful pull any longer, sheded a tear before she too is pulled away. “AAAAH-- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa...!!!”
Producer-san, holding Ritsuko’s hand, began to feel afraid. “Please let this be a bad dream, let me wake up!!!”
“MY WORDS EXACTLY!!!” Ritsuko quickly agreed. As the last inches of strength fade away, the Observatory was sucked into gravitational force, and, in the process- the Producer, Ritsuko, Haruka, Chihaya and Miki lose their grasp and are caught in.
(Haruka) “EEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa...!!!”
(Chihaya) “KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa...!!!”
(Miki) “HONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeyyy...!!!”
(Ritsuko) “PRODUCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeerrrr...!!!”
(Producer) “NGHHH!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
After all that, everything simply faded into white.....
*End Theme*
*???*
*Musicless...*
The Producer was all alone in a spiraling darkness that seems to have no end. As he was laying there, one thought echoed in his mind. “Is this it...? To be torn inside a abyssal vortex within a dimension foreign to my kin...? With my subordinates and friends...? Is the end...? My end...? Our end...?”
“NO ONE... HAS MET THEIR END.” “A warm yet inaudible masculine voice echoed.
“H-Huh?” Producer-san opened his eyes slowly...
*Unknown White Space*
*Insert Theme: “Giants’ Theme” (Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask)*
Before the Producer's eyes within the endless white space, a massive, masculine, gigantic white humanoid silhouette stands in view.
“Wha... What or who are you?” Producer-san asked the strange being that appeared before looking at himself... and realizing that he had no clothes on... (Hold on... we’ll fix the camera to just focus on the torso, for proper censoring measures. In fact, we’ll leave the underwear...)
“A-AND WHERE THE HECK ARE MY CLOTHES?! WHAT'S GOING ON?!” Producer-san was flustered at his sudden lack of clothes.
“... ... ... EVERYONE... HAS NOT MET THEIR END.” The echoing voice of the being resounded.
“So, everyone's still alive?” Producer-san gleamed, hoping that the mysterious being is right. To the man’s delight, the being nodded. “... THEY ARE SAVED... I AM THE SAVIOR RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE WHITE HOLES...”
“The White Holes? You mean every Black Hole had a White Hole at the end...? Ah! The white beacons! Were they yours?!” Producer-san realized, remembering the white lights that appeared.
“... I HAVE SAVED THOSE... WHO WERE NOT MEANT TO PERISH IN SUCH A WAY... THOSE WHOM LIVE IN THIS UNIVERSE... AND THEE WHOM ART VISITING IT... I WATCHED...” The being answered, which made the Producer feel a little violated of privacy.. however, one more question echoed in the man’s mind as he asked it. “Huh? You watched us the whole time...? What are you, really...?”
The being decided to truthfully answer, in a way Producer-san would understand. “... ... YOU KNOW ME AND MY KIN TO BE... ‘OMNIPOTENT...’ OR ‘OMNISCIENT...’ ‘OMNIPRESENT...’ ‘UNLIMITED, IMMORTAL AND ETERNAL...’ I WAS IMPRISONED... WITHIN A CAGE OF FLESH, BLOOD AND BONE... WHOM GAINED RELEASE AND EVERYTHING RETURNED... AFTER PAYING THE ULTIMATE PRICE... WHILE KEEPING SOMETHING WITH ME STRONG FROM OVER THE YEARS...”
The man didn’t get what the being said, but continued to listen. ‘BUT I KNOW IN FACT... THOU ART LIKE ME.” Producer-san stood in shock, aghast at what to being is saying.
“IT WAS NOT THY TIME TO BE RELEASED FROM THY PRISON... THOU MUST LIVE TO THE FULLEST... LEARN MORE... NEVER LOSE HOPE...” The enigmatic being answered, which left Producer-san deep in thought. “A lot... ... like you...?”
The enigma nodded before turning his head around and lifts his left arm. Within moments, a rip in space appeared and opens up.
“... GO... EVERYONE YOU KNOW AWAITS...” The being ordered, ending the conversation.
“Huh?! Wait! What...” Producer-san started, but then felt his body being carried off into the rift. “Aah, AH, AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”
“FEAR NOT... ... BE ASSURED... ... ... WE WILL MEET AGAIN.” The being called out as he began to fade from view. The Producer flies through the vortex, keeping his sight on the enigmatic savior that saved him, the Idols, and Team Mario, until the very being completely faded from view and everything turned completely black.
*End Theme*
From within the darkness, two familiar elderly voices echoed in his mind. One voice echoed first. “... Oh hohohohoho! Looks like he's stirrin'!” The second voice began to echo as well, beckoning the man to open his eyes. “Hm? Oh! Him?! Come on, young chap! Please wake up!”
“Nmrrgh... Nnn...” This was all Producer-san could say before he slowly regained consciousness....
Oh man.... darkest chapter I have ever written... nearly made my heart leap out of my chest! Yep, everyone’s alive after all that. But who were the voices that are waking up Producer-san. And who was this mysterious savior that saved the entire group in their great hour of need? And... where is everyone? Answers will come next chapter.
..Oh, my head....

Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bringing in another chapter to the fanfic! Whew, has the battle been long, but the “Battle for the Universe” segment of the Comet Observatory arc is reaching its conclusion.... and we’ve got a black hole, of all things! I fear this might make someone wet their leggings, I tell you! Hope things turn out well, despite this insane turn of events. ...Oh yeah, almost forgot. I do not own any of the Mario characters or the iDOLMASTER characters; the Mario characters belong to Nintendo and the iDOLMASTER characters belong to Namco Bandai. So, with all that out of the way, let’s resume the intergalactic story segment!
...Seriously, a black hole. What next?

Chapter 44
The Battle for the Universe Part 7: The Threat of the Black Holes! Is This the End?!
*Center of the Universe ~ Throne Room Remants ~ Giant Black Hole and Smaller Black Holes*
*Insert Theme: “Catastrophe” (Super Mario Galaxy)*
Everyone present, except Benjamin,was gazing at the giant Black Hole, then turned in multiple directions as they looked at the other super massive Black Holes in where other suns from other galaxies in the distance perished from the unbearable gravitational strain. Producer-san and Ritsuko stared with sweat falling down their faces, wondering if escape is even possible.
“Oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, oh, bad bad bad bad BAD! This is BAD!!” The bespectled young producer began to panic while trying to hold her glasses in place. Producer-san, who looked really shaken up like a smoothie, stared at Ritsuko. “Like that is mediocrely detailed on a scale of how dreaded the situation is?!?!”
Rosalina, looking at how bleak the situation has turned, yet keeping her calm composure without flinching, turned to the group with a serious expression. “If anytime is a good time to flee, now is the time to run!”
“NO NEED TO TELL US TWICE!” Wario and Waluigi shout before turning tail and running away.
*Insert Sound Effects: “Ricochet”, “Fred Moves the Car” (The Flintstones)*
Taking no chances at lingering around any longer, Mario shouted out loud. “Let's-a get outta here!”
“H-HURRY!!!” Luigi added, while already starting to dash off, and soon enough all of Team Mario began to flee the scene, with the Idols following, screaming for their lives... well, except for Ryou and Hibiki, who decided to make a dedicated team effort in escorting the stiff Makoto out, considering she hasn’t fully recovered from that crystallization Bowser Jr. threw on her as an act of revenge.
Meanwhile, Corporal Paraplonk, seeing the bleakness of the situation getting worse, Looked around for the Bowser front onboard the Doomship. Upon locating the Koopa King, who was desparately trying to escape, the commander called out. “Your Desperateness!”
Hearing Paraplonk’s familiar voice, Bowser looks up to see Paraplonk's Doomship bringing down a lift to the Koopa King. Wasting no time and not wanting any casualties to this calamity, Bowser quickly ordered, “Corporal Paraplonk! Contact the fleet to form up and get us out of here! NOW! “ Quickly responding to the order, the Koopa commander ordered up the troops to get on the lift to board the Doomship as soon as possible. Iggy, onboard as well, looked at his computerized device... and his eyes practically bulged out at what he found. “King Dad!!! The situation's far worse than we feared!”
“WHAT?!” Bowser stared at the Koopaling as he stared in utmost disbelief at what was on the screen, enough to grab Bowser Jr.’s attention. “What is it, Iggy?!”
*End Theme*
*Ceneter of the Universe ~ Landing Dock ~ Giant Black Hole and Smaller Black Holes*
*Insert Theme: “Speedy Comet in Orbit” (Super Mario Galaxy)*
Everyone was still running through the hall , heading straight to the Comet Observatory and the Starship Mario. As the group continued the retreat, Producer-san witnesses something white streak by the corner of his eye. Knowing that right now is not the correct time think of what the white light was, the black haired man shrugged as he continued his escape.
Within moments, the group successfully arrived to their destination, but to their misfortune, they see more colossal Black Holes in the distance. The Producer’s jaw dropped when he saw some white beacons get swallowed up by the black holes. “You got to be kidding me! HERE, TOO?!” Theman shouted in dismay. Yoshi points to even more black holes that just appeared as well. “There's more of them back here!”
Benjamin flies from the Comet Observatory to in front of the group with an urgent look on his face. “Guys! Everyone get the *coin!* onboard now! Things have gotten god-level worse than you can imagine! I'll explain the weight of the crisis on the way!"
Taking the initiative, Producer-san responded, “The Idols and I are leaving with Rosalina and the Lumas!” Mario agreed with the man’s decision with one of his own. “Okay! Team Mario's-a gettin' on da Starship Mario, then! Take-a da wheel, Lubba!”
“AYE AYE, CAPTAIN MARIO!” Lubba saluted before grabbing the steering wheel of the ship. Rosalina readied her magic wand and announced. “Let not waste any more precious time.” Without hesitation, all members of the groups went onboard the respective vessel. Upon completion, the two ships make their getaway.

*Comet Observatory*
*Engine Room*
Benjamin opened a communication from aboard the Comet Observatory’s Engine Room through a video communicator, intent to contact Mario. “Can you hear me?” the visible face of Mario on the screen responded. “Loud and-a clear!”
“We're heading into the bottom, there are very fewer giant Black Holes there, our chances of escaping are greater going this way!" Benjamin informed the plumber hero of a possible escape route in mind until he noticed something that has made things worse than they need to be....
*Outside*
Meanwhile, within the corners of the Observatory, some Lumas, young and old, panic and scream during the present crisis shown through an installed screen, while others were comforted by the Idols.
“WAAAAaaaahhhh!!!” A Baby Luma in Takane’s arms began to cry, into which the Silver Queen gently comforted. “It's okay, we'll get out of this all right, I promise!” All of a sudden, Benjamin rushed towards the group with a look that just says “We have really bad news” to Ritsuko.
“What is this bad news you have for us, Benjamin-san?!” The young producer asked the interdimesnional being, to which he responded with an alert tone. “It's the Black Holes! What is happening to them is abnormal! The physical size and gravitational force is growing larger and stronger WITH EVERY PASSING TEN SECONDS!"
“Holy Fettucinni! That's-a bad!” Mario shouted out from his video transceiver from the Starship Mario.
“NANDA?!” Ritsuko, as well as Producer-san, shouted in utter shock as a response. Rosalina entered the conversation with a grim look on her face. “I feel it, too... If it keeps up at this rate...!”
Benjamin joined in to confirm Rosalina’s concern. “THEN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WILL EVENTUALLY BE ERASED!”
*Doomship*
“WHAT?! Are you serious, Iggy?!” Bowser, completely astounded at what the Koopaling admitted, at the same time as Benjamin and Rosalina, Looked at Iggy with complete disbelief.
“The device just ain't gonna' say ‘No,’ King Dad! They are still expanding as we speak and growing time limit is GRADUALLY decreasing!” Iggy impatiently spoke, pointing to the data on his device, which was enough to make Kammy cringe.
“Well, this is absolutely NOT how I'm putting my lights out!” The Magikoopa matriarch snorted while crossing her arms. Bowser looked at the old hag and nodded. “You took the words out of my mouth, you old hag. It's not the end for us unless I say so! Follow that comet and that ugly faceship! Full speed ahead!” Without hesitation, Corporal Paraplonk hit the boosters on the Doomship to attempt to catch up to the group in pure haste.
*Comet Observatory*
Miki was bracing herself when she caught sight of Bowser’s Airship fleet in a panicked pursuit. “Aw, c'mon! Nano...” The blonde Idol pouted, feeling that the Koopa King is being too stubborn for his own good.
“I know the Black Holes are our main concern, Miki...” RItsuko looked at the worried Visual Queen, but then noticed the Airship Fleet following them. “Oh, GIVE US A BREAK! He still wants us THIS badly?!”
Benjamin took the time to correct the bespectacled Producer/Idol. “Bowser's only following us to only get out of here; he's not one to stay in dangerously natural disasters. Speaking of dangerous- THE TIME LIMIT OF THE BLACK HOLE'S EXPANSION HAS DECREASED TO FIVE SECONDS!"
The thought of the shortened time limit of the disaster alone was near to enough for Ritsuko to nearly drop her glasses. “DIDN'T YOU SAY THEY GROW EVERY TEN SECONDS EARLIER?!?!”
“FOR *COIN*'S SAKE!!! I AM NOT CONTROLLING THOSE *COIN* ABYSSAL GLUTTONOUS COSMIC VOIDS THAT LEAD TO GOD-KNOWS-WHERE!!!" Benjamin snapped in a berserk freak out, enough to startle Ritsuko so much, she is unable to find any more words to say. Benjamin calmed down a bit only to notice Ritsuko’s face in shock. “Sorry..."
Yukiho stared at the black holes decimate many planets, and without warning, began to cry...
“In a time like this...” The poor girl started with got the attention Makoto and Ryou. “Yukiho?”
“In a time like this...” Yukiho started as she stared at the many black holes with her tear ridden eyes. “THIS IS ONE THING BURYING MYSELF IN A HOLE WILL NEVER SAVE ME FROM!!!” All of a sudden, the poor Idol started to lose control of her emotions as started to lose her mind in the tears she shed and in crazy uncontrollable laughter. “MY WORTHLESS PITIFUL LIFE ENDS IN A SPACIAL VORTEX OF UNTOLD LIFE-TAKING PERIL WITH ALL MY FRIENDS AND ALLIES AT THE SAME TIME!!”
Not wanting to hear any of the hopeless banter, Makoto pushes Ryou aside and placed her hands on Yukiho’s shoulders. “YUKIHO! GET A *COIN* HOLD OF YOURSELF!”
Within moments, the saddened Idol’s crazy laughter quickly changed to uncontrollable sobbing, beckoning the tomboyish Idol to hug her in the hope to keep her safe to the very end.

*Far Rear End Airship*
*Insert Theme: “Black Powder” (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)*
The Koopa helmsman of this particular airship of the fleet heard a loud creaking sound. ‘H..HUH?!”
The very Koopa sees part of the ship behind him breaking apart from crimson lightning streaks. Realizing what is happening, the Koopa began to scream. “Oh no! NONONONO ... NOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..” Within mere moments, the unfortunate Koopa, along with the rest of the crew, were caught in the grip of the vortexes, with the very vessel itself the last to vanish.
*Distant Airship*
The Koopa captain of this particular ship looked behind himself and was horrified when he sees the Airships in the back being destroyed one after the other by the strong gravation pull of the black holes. Not want ing to take any chances, he turned to a nearby Spiked Goomba. “You! Contact the Doomship!”
*Doomship*
“WHAT?! Are you serious?!” Paraplonk was tongue tied when the shipmate contacted him on his walkie talkie.
“*KSHRT* YES! The rear is being destroyed one after the- AAAAA- *DRZTTZ*” The shipmate shouted of the ship’s status... before losing contact when he too was sucked into the vortex.
Worried to how things are turning out, the Koopa commander flies next to the crow's nest to view the losses and confirm tehm to the Koopa King. “Your Highness! The Black Holes are devouring the rear of the fleet and is catching up!”
“AUGGHH!!!!” “WHAAUGH!!!” Bowser and Bowser Jr. shout in utter shock at what they heard.
“The situation's get more dreaded and tense by every second...” Kamek cried out in great fear. Bowser, frowning for a moment that his plans were really blown apart irreparably and having no choice but to throw his pride aside considering the great peril, turned to Paraplonk. “Corporal! Get me that Megaphone!”
*Comet Observatory and Starship Mario*
Wasting no time, Bowser made good use of the Megaphone. “PEACH! MARIO! IDOLS!”
“BOWSA?!” Mario shouted in shock as he turned to the direction of the Doomship.
*Doomship*
Everyone on the Doomship, except obviously the Koopa King himself, went and covered their ears as Bowser shouted on the Megaphone. “I'M LOSING THE BACK OF MY FLEET TO THOSE INFERNAL BLACK HOLES! THEIR GRIP IS CATCHING UP! LET'S PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AND PUSH IT TO THE MAX! LET'S GO!!!”
*Comet Observatory and Starship Mario*
“He said WHAT?!?!” Hibiki stood in complete shock of Bowser’s sudden change in behavior.
“I want to get out of here now, nanoooo!” Miki whined, not wanting to be part of this cataclysmic chaos any longer. Producer-san nodded at the blonde Idol and turned to the cosmic princess. “Rosalina, please hurry!” Rosalina nodded and added a bit more of her magic to her space station.
“Punchit, Lubba!!!” Luigi shouted to the chuby Luma, to which he frowned. “I'm tryin', Captain, but this is as fast as she goes!”
Peach stared out into the darkness of the black holes and quietly spoke. “Mario... is this the end?”
Mario, despite the severity of the situation, turned to Peach with a determined face of bravery that defies even fate itself. “Mario neva says-a "Game Over" until-a Mario says so. 'Cuz-a Mario neva gives-a up hope even in da face of da most bitta crisis!”
Daisy, beginning to look very scared, began to tightly squeeze Luigi out of fear. “DON'T LET ME GO, LUIGI!” Luigi began to gag from the strain of the Sarasa Kingdom princess’ arms. “Nnnrhk... Daisy...”
Ritsuko looked at the complete chaos unfolding and frowned. “Good grief, things are getting out of my hands so easily, I have no control over it.” Producer-san couldn’t help but look at the black holes. “If the gravitational force is gradually growing and catching up, it will be our turn soon...”
*End Theme*
*Doomship*
*Insert Theme: “End of the World” (Super Paper Mario)*
The middle of the Airship Fleet, after a good amount of time, is sucked in the grip of the Black Holes and the nearest ones next to the Doomship are swallowed with their crews, leaving only the main vessel.
“Papa, I can feel the wind from here!!!” Bowser Jr. cried out as the forces of the black became much stronger. What the Koopa Prince didn’t notice was he seems to be in midair. “Wha- AH!”
“D'aaah!!” Lemmy shouted before grabbing Junior’s leg,but finds himself in midair as well!
“Oh!” Iggy jumped in to help grab the down down, but was also caught as well. “King Dad, HELP!”
Bowser noticed and grabbed Iggy before he floated away while keeping a hand on Lemmy. The Koopa Prince, fearing for his life, screamed. “DON'T LET GOOOOO!!!”
Desperate to get his son as well as the Koopalings to safety, Bowser eyed at the two Magikoopas. “Grrrrrrngh... KAMEK! KAMMY! I NEED MORE WEIGHT!!”
“Your Cosmicness!” Kamek shouted, while Kammy quickly brandished her wand with her teeth gritted. “Wand, don't let me down here!” With determination in the Magikoopas’ eyes, they wave their wands to encase the Koopa King into living metal, while weighing him down with chains and steel blocks.
Almost half of the front fleet is broken up from the gravitational force by the time the Magikoopas finish their spell. Bowser, despite being very greatly weighed down, begins to slowly drift toward the giant vortex. Despite the desperate situation, Bowser chose to stubbornly hold on to dear life as he shouted. “MORE WEIGHT!!”
Lemmy, beginning to feel the strain, yelped. “OH NO! My hands are getting kinda' slippery!”
“NO! DON'T LET GO, LEMMY! EVER!!” Bowser Jr. shouted, but when things couldn’t get any worse than it already is, a crimson lightning bolt strikes through the base of the Doomship's mast. Paraplonk, hanging on for dear life as well. “Nnn... Nnnnrrrgh...!” As he struggled to continue hisclimb, the Koopa commander lost his grip. “NO!!!” The elite Koopa collided with the mast headfirst before colliding with Kamek. “Ohhh, NOOO-!”
“GWARGH!” The Magikoopa yelped as he was caught in the suction. Kammy didn’t fare any better than her son as she saw the broken mast fly right to her face and smack her airborne. “EEYAAAUGH!”
“What...?” Bowser realizes his metal skin is shattered and stood like a deer in the headlights as the Koopa King sees Kamek, Kammy, Paraplonk and the mast heading his way. “NO NO NO—UWAHH!!!”
*WHAM!!*
The last of the Airships and the Doomship break apart and the pieces along with the screaming crew drift into one of the abyssal spheres.
(Paraplonk) “UWAAAAAAAaaaaaa...!!!”
(Kamek and Kammy) “GYAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa...!!!”
(Iggy and Lemmy) “WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhhhhh...!”
(Bowser Jr.) “PAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa...!”
(Bowser) “This is NOT happening! Not to us! Not to me! I won't accept this!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo...!!!!!”
Within mere moments, all of the Koopa Troop disappear within the vortex...

“Bowsa's a goner!” luigi gaped in fright, but just before things could even have a chance to get better, it became extremely worse as both Peach and Daisy scream for dear life as they feel the wind from the suction. Within moments, Hammer Bro, Boo, Shy Guy, Blooper and a few Lumas working on the Starship are caught as well, helpless and screaming.
“It's catching up to us!!!” Wario yelped, tightly gripping on his yellow hat, while Waluigi whines out of desperate fright. “Now what?!” As if by a sick trolling chance of luck, a stray Geode from the remnants of Geodusus passed by, right in the chubby tub of lard’s sight. “Oh, no!” But just as he jumped to grab the stone, the rival of Wario began to notice his blunder. “..Oopsies..”
“Ohh, WARIO, YOU IDIOT!” Waluigi yelped as he grabbed the fatso’s leg, to no avail, as the two miscreants were sucked in together. “WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...!!!!!”
“Those dimwitted morons!” Birdo frowned as she saw the two rivals disappear.
*Comet Observatory*
The Comet Observatory is not faring any better than the Starship Mario as the Idols scream, trying to brace themselves from the howling winds of the powerful vortex. Benjamin, still hanging on to that last thread of hope, shouted, “EVERYONE!!! NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!!"
As if hit by something, the Pink Luma Yukiho rescued began to get caught in the suctioning force of the black hole. “Bii... pii!”
“Ahh...NOOO!!!!” Yukiho extended her arm in an attempt to save her friend, but it was for naught as the Pink Luma drifted into the vortex. “Piiiiiiiiiiiiii...!!!”
Within moments, the Observatory began to tilt violently. “AAAAHHH!!!” The Producer, as well as the Idols, yelped as they try to maintain their balance. Unfortunately, Iori began to lose her footing from the sudden tilt. “Kya!” Within moments, she completely lost her balance and rolled across the floor right into the vortex!
“Iori!!!” “Iori-san!!” Producer-san, Ritsuko, Takane, and Yayoi scream as the poor rich girl was spiraling right into the vortex! “KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
“No! Iori's been sucked in! Uwoh--!” Benjamin shouted before he noticed that the black hole is about to claim him as well.
“AH!” “BENJAMIN-SAN!!” Producer-san and Hibiki shouted as the interdimensional being was the next to be caught in the vortex, ending up doing his best Howie scream. “GYEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHH...!!!"
*Starship Mario*
“...AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Iori was still spiraling out of control when Yoshi caught sight of her.
“IORI!!” The green bipedal cried out before grabbing on to something and using his long chameleon-like tongue to catch Iori’s leg, which succeeded.
“Y..YOSHI!!!” The tsundere yelped, knowing now is not the right time to argue. Yoshi eyed on Birdo. “Birdo, use my tongue to reel Iori in!”
“R-Right!” Birdo nodded reluctantly and slowly pulled the long tongue to reel in the poor Idol. But before the two bipedal dinosaurs could safely get the Idol on the ground, a flying piece of debris went on a trajectory course for Birdo’s head. “Birdo, look out!!” Iori yelped, but too late, the debris conked Birdo in the head. “*HONK*?!” The dazed pink dinosaur fell on Yoshi’s tongue.
“WAAHH!!” Yoshi cried in aching pain and lost his grip on the Idol. “Y-YOSHI!” Iori screamed as she pulled into the vortex. Birdo, turning a serious face, jumped in to make a desperate bid to save the Idol, but unfortunately was dragged into the spiraling abyss with her.
“No!” Yoshi cried out and leapt in a reckless desperate bid to save both Iori and Birdo with his now injured tongue. The trio ended up screaming as they fell into theabyssal depths of the black hole.
“OH NO!” Mario screamed, worrying for his dino pal and the beloved tsundere, as well as Peach. “Iori! Yoshi!”
As things have now began to look like pure Grade A nightmare fuel, Lubba too was getting lifted into the suction. “SAYONARA, CAPTAAAAAAAaaaaaaains...!!!” The large Luma’s voice echoed before it disappeared.
“Lubba!” Luigi yelped, but his greater fears were realized when he saw Daisy losing her grip. “LUIGI, I'M SLIPPING!!!” The green plumber wasted no to bravely try to save the Sarasa Land princess as he dove in to catch her hand. “DAISY! Nnnngh...! MARIO! This-a may look like ‘Game Over’ for us all!!!” The green plumber brother strained as tears came out of his left eye as he held onto the ledge.
“No, it's not, Luigi! Neva give up hope!” Mario protested, trying his hardest to encourage his brother.
“BUT I’M...” Luigi started, but his grip gave way and was pulled in with Daisy...
(Luigi) “UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa....!!!”
(Daisy) “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo...!!!”
“DAISY!!!” “LUIGIIIIII!!!” Peach and Mario scream, but then soon enough, the blonde Princess now began to lose her grip as well.
“MARIOOOO!!! IT'S TOO STROOONNNGGG!!!” The princess cried as she too is losing her strength to the black hole. Mario quickly grabbed her hand, but as his luck finally ran out, he too is swept away...
(Mario) “WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa...!!!!!”
(Peach) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhh...!!!!!”
*Comet Observatory*
Rosalina froze as the Comet Observatory and the Starship were being dragged closer to the black hole. “..No..”
“M-Mario-san...” Ritsuko froze, finding it hard to believe that even the Mushroom Kingdom hero would be lost, but then, the Producer felt the place violently tilt one last time. “UWAHH!!”
By that one last push, Yukiho, Makoto, Ryou, Yumeko, Ayane, Hibiki, Takane and Yayoi are pulled into the gravitational force. Soon after that, Ai, Eri, Hibiki, Azusa and the Futami Twins lose their grip and are sucked away..
“MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Young Master Luma cried before he was sucked in next, followed by Polari. “YOUNG MASTER!!! MILADYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyy...!!!” Rosalina, unable to resist the powerful pull any longer, sheded a tear before she too is pulled away. “AAAAH-- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa...!!!”
Producer-san, holding Ritsuko’s hand, began to feel afraid. “Please let this be a bad dream, let me wake up!!!”
“MY WORDS EXACTLY!!!” Ritsuko quickly agreed. As the last inches of strength fade away, the Observatory was sucked into gravitational force, and, in the process- the Producer, Ritsuko, Haruka, Chihaya and Miki lose their grasp and are caught in.
(Haruka) “EEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa...!!!”
(Chihaya) “KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa...!!!”
(Miki) “HONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeyyy...!!!”
(Ritsuko) “PRODUCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeerrrr...!!!”
(Producer) “NGHHH!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
After all that, everything simply faded into white.....
*End Theme*
*???*
*Musicless...*
The Producer was all alone in a spiraling darkness that seems to have no end. As he was laying there, one thought echoed in his mind. “Is this it...? To be torn inside a abyssal vortex within a dimension foreign to my kin...? With my subordinates and friends...? Is the end...? My end...? Our end...?”
“NO ONE... HAS MET THEIR END.” “A warm yet inaudible masculine voice echoed.
“H-Huh?” Producer-san opened his eyes slowly...
*Unknown White Space*
*Insert Theme: “Giants’ Theme” (Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask)*
Before the Producer's eyes within the endless white space, a massive, masculine, gigantic white humanoid silhouette stands in view.
“Wha... What or who are you?” Producer-san asked the strange being that appeared before looking at himself... and realizing that he had no clothes on... (Hold on... we’ll fix the camera to just focus on the torso, for proper censoring measures. In fact, we’ll leave the underwear...)
“A-AND WHERE THE HECK ARE MY CLOTHES?! WHAT'S GOING ON?!” Producer-san was flustered at his sudden lack of clothes.
“... ... ... EVERYONE... HAS NOT MET THEIR END.” The echoing voice of the being resounded.
“So, everyone's still alive?” Producer-san gleamed, hoping that the mysterious being is right. To the man’s delight, the being nodded. “... THEY ARE SAVED... I AM THE SAVIOR RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE WHITE HOLES...”
“The White Holes? You mean every Black Hole had a White Hole at the end...? Ah! The white beacons! Were they yours?!” Producer-san realized, remembering the white lights that appeared.
“... I HAVE SAVED THOSE... WHO WERE NOT MEANT TO PERISH IN SUCH A WAY... THOSE WHOM LIVE IN THIS UNIVERSE... AND THEE WHOM ART VISITING IT... I WATCHED...” The being answered, which made the Producer feel a little violated of privacy.. however, one more question echoed in the man’s mind as he asked it. “Huh? You watched us the whole time...? What are you, really...?”
The being decided to truthfully answer, in a way Producer-san would understand. “... ... YOU KNOW ME AND MY KIN TO BE... ‘OMNIPOTENT...’ OR ‘OMNISCIENT...’ ‘OMNIPRESENT...’ ‘UNLIMITED, IMMORTAL AND ETERNAL...’ I WAS IMPRISONED... WITHIN A CAGE OF FLESH, BLOOD AND BONE... WHOM GAINED RELEASE AND EVERYTHING RETURNED... AFTER PAYING THE ULTIMATE PRICE... WHILE KEEPING SOMETHING WITH ME STRONG FROM OVER THE YEARS...”
The man didn’t get what the being said, but continued to listen. ‘BUT I KNOW IN FACT... THOU ART LIKE ME.” Producer-san stood in shock, aghast at what to being is saying.
“IT WAS NOT THY TIME TO BE RELEASED FROM THY PRISON... THOU MUST LIVE TO THE FULLEST... LEARN MORE... NEVER LOSE HOPE...” The enigmatic being answered, which left Producer-san deep in thought. “A lot... ... like you...?”
The enigma nodded before turning his head around and lifts his left arm. Within moments, a rip in space appeared and opens up.
“... GO... EVERYONE YOU KNOW AWAITS...” The being ordered, ending the conversation.
“Huh?! Wait! What...” Producer-san started, but then felt his body being carried off into the rift. “Aah, AH, AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”
“FEAR NOT... ... BE ASSURED... ... ... WE WILL MEET AGAIN.” The being called out as he began to fade from view. The Producer flies through the vortex, keeping his sight on the enigmatic savior that saved him, the Idols, and Team Mario, until the very being completely faded from view and everything turned completely black.
*End Theme*
From within the darkness, two familiar elderly voices echoed in his mind. One voice echoed first. “... Oh hohohohoho! Looks like he's stirrin'!” The second voice began to echo as well, beckoning the man to open his eyes. “Hm? Oh! Him?! Come on, young chap! Please wake up!”
“Nmrrgh... Nnn...” This was all Producer-san could say before he slowly regained consciousness....
Oh man.... darkest chapter I have ever written... nearly made my heart leap out of my chest! Yep, everyone’s alive after all that. But who were the voices that are waking up Producer-san. And who was this mysterious savior that saved the entire group in their great hour of need? And... where is everyone? Answers will come next chapter.
..Oh, my head....
