Story

Part 19-1: Was This Scripted!?

At Gisho Castle, Topper was complaining at the number of prophecies that occur in stories, having the script to this one and complaining that there's a prophecy in it. Oshy pointed out that with the script, they know what'll happen anyway. On the roof, Top and Testube were looking out into space with a telescope when Top noticed a spaceship coming towards the planet. Testube checked, then saw that the spaceship was in plain site without it and began to panic. Inside, the castle began to shake; Oshy thought it was an earthquake, but Topper said it was a spaceship about to crash into the castle.

The next day, PB and Sunset came after seeing a streak in the sky the night before and saw the castle was half-destroyed with a rocketship in the rubble. Topper was digging through the rubble, looking for his ship, while Top was talking about the aliens coming to take over the planet (pointing to the rocketship). After being reminded he was an alien technically by Oshy, Top began to panic. Topper found his script and read that Top said his line, and the two began to argue. Apricot bonked them with an egg to stop them, and the rocketship door opened.

Mershin, a shaman like Merlon only similar to Boddle, came out and introduced himself. Mershin said the targeting system went on the fritz, but was surprised at something: "they" said that "it" would take centures, but "it" was only a year. Everyone was confused, and Mershin explained that it was only a year since they sent the rocket into orbit, him along with a baby star. The rocket would then return when the acceptor of the star's power would be ready. According to Top, however, nothing like that had happened in the past year.

They went to Oh Gee to get his opinion, and learned from Mershin that the rocket left on the year "zero". Having been two thousand nine years since then, yet only feeling like a year to Mershin, the rocket would therefore have been going at about 99.9% the speed of light. Therefore, it meant that the shaman who would accept the star's power was in their day and age, and Topper said the script said they needed to go see Merlon first to learn more about what happened.

Part 19-2: Journey to the Center of Not Where They Are Right Now

They went to the Merlon of Toad Town, and Mershin acted as though he knew him while Merlon didn't. After hearing the name Mershin, however, Merlon did recognize the name, and invited them in. Inside Merlon took out a Book of Shamans and explained that each shaman has a specific name because that is their job. The name Mershin meant the deliverer, the one to deliver the baby star to the shaman that would accept it. The problem was, however, there was no specific name for who would accept it. Merlon suggested they go to Starborn Valley and speak with his son, Merle, who would likely be able to help them find the shaman they needed. However, after they left, Merlon wondered if he should have warned them that when a shaman would be ready to accept the star, a great evil would be reawakened.

Team TOT, PB, Sunset and Mershin headed north to Shiver City, and tried to go to Snow Road, but the bumpty refused them and told them to go [s]kill[/s] talk to the mayor. As they went, they trudged into a pointless subplot where they overheard some bumpties trying to kill the mayor so Oshy, PB and Sunset rushed in while Topper complained that they would just take the blame. After they rushed in, they saw a bumpty with a hammer and an unconscious mayor. They chased the bumpty out, but the mayor's wife mistook them for the killers.

Part 19-3: The Koopa Beast

Mayor Penguin's wife brought in the Penguin Patrol and began to explain her side of the story, then Team TOT, PB and Sunset tried to explain what happened when Mayor Penguin woke up. It turned out that the "assassins" were actually trying to get him out so he could sneak off to a concert not far from there. Thus, the stupidest subplot ever ended.

Meanwhile, at Bowser's Castle, Kammy Koopa was looking through some books in the castle library. She noted the books were older than she was, wanting some new materials, then took out a black book. She gasped at what it was, and was about to run out when Kamek came in. Kammy showed Kamek what she had found: The Dark Prognosticus! Kammy was off to tell Bowser, but Kamek suggested they wait, as Bowser may not utilize its full power; he had gone on a whole adventure just to stop its use, after all. Kamek opened the book and read a section:

The stars shall shine in the snowy east,
Unless interrupted by the Koopa beast.
The traveling group will have a star,
But they will not make it very far.
In the wake of the star power that fell,
The world shall be covered in the Koopa shell.

...even though the verses didn't normally rhyme. Either way, there was a star heading east they needed to interrupt, and Kammy knew exactly who to call.

Part 19-4: Not-So Crystal Clear

The group made it to the entrance to Crystal Palace, meaning they were at the halfway point. With that, they began to take a quick break to appreciate the beauty of the area... although according to Topper, it was a bit louder than he expected. Just then, Gluposs fell from the sky on top of him! Some of them recognized him, and Gluposs explained that Crystal King kicked him out of the Crystal Palace. Gluposs wanted to go with them, having nowhere else to go, and they agreed.

Meanwhile, at the top of Crystal Palace, Crystal King had just reclaimed the palace when his Bowser Phone rang. He answered, and it was Kammy, telling him that some travelers with a baby star would be coming by soon and needed to be stopped. Crystal King looked through his spotting scope and spotted the group and saw they had a baby star, as well as they were already passing the palace!

At Bowser's Castle, Bowser almost found out about The Dark Prognosticus, telling Kammy and Kamek to stop wasting time and to come up with a new evil plan. Kammy suggested they tell Bowser about the book, but Kamek disagreed. Back at Snow Road, the group continued on the path when a bunch of Frost Piranhas popped out of the ground, blocking their way.

Part 19-5: Crystalline Ambush

The group fought against the frost piranhas, and soon a group of gulpits came as well, after which some duplighosts also joined the fight. They were all defeated, however, but then a spiked club nearly hit Sunset when a lance countered it and Frob and Bread showed up. Some white clubbas showed up, and they decided to speak with one another after the fight was over. Once the white clubbas were disposed of, Frob and Bread explained why they left (sort of), and the group explained what they were doing there. Crystal King showed up, however, saying they would not make it.

Part 19-6: Topmonhit Story On Ice!

The group began to battle against Crystal King, but Crystal King formed a blizzard to prevent fire attacks and froze Top. He then froze Gluposs, blocking most attacks with his Crystal Bits. Crystal King also split into copies and used a blizzard attack to freeze Oshy, Sunset and Bread (strangely enough, all the yoshis at once). With just Topper, Frob and PB left, the three used a team attack that used electricity to get rid of the clones, then all three attacked Crystal King separately, defeating him. The others were thawed out, and Frob and Bread decided to travel with them to help.
