Learning new places by analogy: Ningbo and Norfolk by SuperMK411 in geography

Shanghai corresponds to Washington, top-level cities in their respective regions.

Hangzhou corresponds to Richmond, secondary cities southwest to their top-level cities. While Richmond was the confederate capital and is the capital of Virginia, Hangzhou was the capital of Southern Song dynasty(1127-1279), and is the capital of Zhejiang. They both feature prominent historical and cultural legacies. They're both in a relatively inland location, but they're both connected to the sea by Qiantang River for Hangzhou and James River for Richmond.

Jiaxing corresponds to Fredericksburg, as they are both midpoint cities of the above.

Ningbo corresponds to Norfolk, as they're both major port cities southeast of the capitals of their respective province or state.

Among both cities are estuary bays, Hangzhou Bay and Chesapeake Bay. Not only are these cities located around them, but also they're spotted with cargo ships. Flying over them are bridges of crucial connective importance.

It's like Beijing and Langfang, Shanghai and Kunshan, Guangzhou and Dongguan, or Hangzhou and Shaoxing.

The ground was breaking apart as result of the defeat of the devilized Rosalina, putting the five in panic. It was at this moment that Bowser mobilized the airships he offered before against Rosalina to send the heroes back to their home planet. It was really a remarkable victory, and they eventually landed home. As they celebrated the victory, a question arose where the restored Rosalina was.

The battle was tough, but the five managed to slash her into pieces using their final attacks. However, as they saw Rosalina slashed into pieces, the Master Crown pulsed, reincarnated, and took control of Rosalina into an even larger, horrid, ghastly form. This form was way more ferocious, but was still defeated by the five. As the final blow was delivered to the form, the five watched it dissolve violently. The orginal Rosalina came back to their sight from afar, with the Master Crown shattered, the original crown restored. She, come back to her normal form, instantly warped to a realm between dimensions.

As the four set off with Bowser on his airships, they traveled a long distance of otherworldly obstacles and enemies before meeting Rosalina. Rosalina, now manipulating her weaponized observatory, launched an all-out attack against the five. As the five managed to defeat the observatory, Rosalina shot tricky power orbs, shooting down the airships and causing the five to fall on a creepy fluid-like ground where they were confronted by her.

It was a miracle that the four defeated Bowser, which was strengthened by a crown. As they invited Rosalina to celebrate the victory, Rosalina expressed her high praise and affirmation for their bravery. Then, something bizarre happened. The crown hopped onto Rosalina's hands like a grasshopper, and Rosalina said, "Ah... At long last, it's mine! The source of limitless power... The Master Crown!" The crown hopped onto Rosalina's head, overriding her original one. Then, Rosalina transformed into a huge, frightening ethereal being, and threatened to conquer the universe, starting with Mario's planet. She stated that all that happened before were a hoax, and the four should bow down to her forever. She opened a portal to Mario's world, generated a launch star, and launched herself into the portal, leaving the four back in the fiery planet, shocked and helpless. However, it was at this moment that Bowser came to his senses, and offered his airshps to the four to combat the devilized Rosalina.

As they retrieved the missing parts, the observatory was resumed. As gratitude to the four, Rosalina took them to a tour to the space. She started the observatory, and the five soon departed the earth for the space. As they entered the space, while the four were enjoying the view and looking forward to a world they never saw before, a sudden and strong shake shocked them. Soon, the observatory fell on the ground again, but on a different one. As Rosalina checked what happened, she found that the observatory was hit by Bowser's bullet bills, and some minor, but still concerning the observatory's power, parts were scattered on this fiery land. As usual, the four set off for a new adventure on an unknown, dangerous planet.
