It was a sunny day at Dream Land. Kirby was simply enjoying his favorite tomato salad. Suddenly, a huge entity fell from the sky and rose up as a giant wearing heavy armor.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Kirby. Dream Land's number 1 hero. It's nice meeting with you!" Said the giant.
Kirby is at stance as he then combats the giant. The giant is proven formidable as nothing is working for Kirby's favor. He can't find a projectile to swallow, an ability to copy, or a weakness to exploit. It's only then Kirby was beaten unconscious by the giant.
"My, what a pathetic hero you are! Can't wait to put you into my trophy room!" Exclaimed the giant as he soon flies away.
As the giant flies, many residents of Pop Star notice that he's holding Kirby. Everyone become shocked at the revelation as their most powerful defender is finally defeated. However, it's only then someone step up to the game.
"Kirby had saved us dozens of times. Now, it's time for us to return the favor," proclaimed Spynum.
Soon, 60 different residents of Pop Star gang up together. They come in different shapes, sizes, and powers, yet all with the mind to save Kirby.
"Now, it's time for us to save Kirby," proclaimed Knuckle Joe. "We've been his adversary and ally at the same time. Now, we're his hero. We can no longer walk on roads now. We have to be him. Who's with us?" Said Blade Knight as everyone raises their hands afterwards. "Awesome. Let's save Kirby and become heroes. I've always wanted to do that," proclaimed Bonkers. "Well then, let's go," said Burning Leo.
Soon, all the 60 helpers unite and follow the giant. Meanwhile, King Dedede and Meta Knight are talking.
"Say, Kirby's kidnapped. Shouldn't we save him?" Asked Dedede. "We should. But our inhabitants have grown weak and lazy. Let this be a moment for them to grow," answered Meta Knight. "Your majesty. The knight has a point. Every single Dream Land resident in your territory has become obese," said Bandana Waddle Dee as he holds an obesity chart and photos of Tiff, Tuff, and Sirica being morbidly obese. "True... I really need to work out," said Dedede as he soon goes for a fitness program.
As the 60 helpers chase the giant, they soon were greeted with 11 air rides, led by Kirby's Warp Star. All of them soon ride on it as they chase the giant to space and later, to a weird stadium out of nowhere in deep space. The 60 helpers then leave their rides to enter the stadium's opening, where they meet a random janitor.
"Stop! Don't go in! It's a trap!" Exclaimed the janitor. "What?! We're here to save our hero," claimed Sir Kibble. "Yeah, he's our hope, and now, we're being his hope," said Chilly. "I'm aware of this. But this is a trap set up by him. You have to leave, now!" Exclaimed the janitor.
Suddenly, the 60 helpers were pushed and thrown into the stadium's arena by a mechanism. There, they were surrounded by thousands of audiences, all cheering for whatever reason they could think of.
"Looks like we're superstars!" Claimed Beetley. "If that's the case, where's our free buffet?" claimed Mr. Frosty. "Hey... That hurts..." Responded Chef Kawasaki. "What? I'm starvin'," answered Mr. Frosty.
Suddenly, the giant then appears himself on the big screen on the arena.
"Hello, everyone! Looks like we have our new contenders! The most we have yet, 60 at the same time! Now, shall we tell them what they're going to do here?" Asked the giant. "Tell them!" Responded the audience. "Great! By the way, I'm your host, King Champion, the most powerful champion in the universe! And what you've entered to, my 60 new contestants, is called "The Intergalactic Combat Arena!" It's where survival of the fittest is put into a game form. And the champion will be rewarded maximally, without any drawbacks!" Said King Champion. "What've you done to Kirby?" Asked Parasol Waddle Dee. "You mean that pink puffball? He's fine right there, in my cage. If you win, you'll free him and get to be free. But if you lose, bye-bye to your home planet!" Exclaimed King Champion. "Okay? How can we win him and our freedom?" Asked Knuckle Joe. "It's easy! You just need to fight my select fighters. Every fighter beaten means being closer to fight my select champions. And if you have beaten four champions... You have to face ME!" Explained King Champion, "So... What will you say?" "BRING IT!" Answered all 60 helpers, even Noddy, who was awake for that moment. "Good! Go to the rest area, so you can be in tip-top shape. That travel to here must be one ride!" Told King Champion, "And don't worry. Our facilities and services are top-notch, so staying in this place while fighting for your way back home will be like being in home!"
Soon, all 60 helpers go to the rest area of the stadium. There, they discover great stuff.
"Oh my, free food! I'm starving!" Exclaimed Mr. Frosty as he gobbles the table of delicious meals alongside Fire Lion, Gaw Gaw, and Boxy. "Oh... I thought I was going to be in the food department..." sighed Chef Kawasaki. "Don't worry. Maybe you can get hired in the cooking department to make some food and cash," said Birdon. "That's right! You may get luxury, but you also need work! But don't worry, in ICA, we find the easiest way to make the most cash that'll make you rolling in dough!" Exclaimed King Champion via rest area monitor. "Great! Where can I sign the job?" Asked Chef Kawasaki. "Right now!" Answered King Champion.
Soon, Chef Kawasaki was taken to the kitchen by some random monsters. It's the followed by women giggles and Chef Kawasaki screaming.
"Whatever's in there, I think I rather want to go fighting now..." responded Bonkers to the situation. "Well, you're lucky. Because there's one right now!" Said King Champion.
Bonkers is then taken to the arena. There, he's facing Two-Head, a warrior with two heads.
"We're Two-Head. These brothers are going to show you how to dual-wield," said Two-Head.
Bonkers knows he's facing an enemy with an extra head and weapon, yet he defeated him with skill and experience. Two-Head doesn't feel well.
"My son, don't stop now! Our home planet is in danger!" Shouted Two-Head's mom. "Danger? Say... What's the condition needed to blow up a contestant's home planet?" Asked Bonkers. "Well, if the warrior gives up or is out of business, that's when I take the shot! And in case there are multiple contestants from the same planet... I can make a bargain... Usually, I go with one contestant being out as the limit, but now, I'm generous enough to say that you all need to be out for your planet to be out!" Answered King Champion. "Well then..." said Bonkers, "Mrs. Two-Head, don't you worry." "Thanks, Bonkers, right?" said Two-Head's mom. "Right," answered Bonkers as he drags Two-Head with him to the rest area. "Well then, looks like someone here shows compassion. But I'll give the 60 tons of passes," said King Champion.
Bonkers then takes Two-Head to Chemitory, who heals Two-Head back to full recovery. Two-Head then is taken back to his own room.
"Say, where will we sleep?" Asked Knuckle Joe. "Don't worry. Your rooms are in our recently built-in already-tested stadium hotel, exclusive for contestants! In there, you'll be treated like kings and queens!" Answered King Champion.
Later on, the 60 helpers were soon sent to the hotel from the rest area. There, they enjoy a bunch of self-driven luxuries, like wall-climbing and croquet. Meanwhile, Bonkers is having a massage, until he meets an unexpected servant.
"Wait, Two-Head?! I thought you were in luxury," said Bonkers. "We weren't... In fact, this hotel is just built for you guys..." said Two-Head. "What? Tell me... What's going on?" Asked Bonkers. "We... can't... This is as far we can give you..." replied Two-Head, "Now, let's do some massaging!"
Bonkers soon goes in confusion on why a contestant have to serve him despite the fact that the hotel was said to give every contestants leisure. Then, the janitor he and the other 59 met earlier gave him a look. The night then comes, and everyone is relaxing in the swimming area, only to be greeted by a kiss-stained Chef Kawasaki.
"Dude, what's wrong?!" Asked Bloon. "Nothing... Is it bonding season?" Asked Chef Kawasaki. "Well, what bonding season?" Asked Bubble Head. "Well... You see... Do you ever heard that only women are only allowed to stay in the kitchen?" Asked Chef Kawasaki. "Let me guess... The kitchen's loaded with "ladies" that want you," answered Burning Leo. "Yeah, and they are all hideous... I've seen one with 13 heads... I need a break..." replied Chef Kawasaki, "Hey, are all the hotel rooms booked for each of us? That's what I heard..." "Yes. Go sleep. Your room is on the first floor, which also have rooms for Mr. Frosty, Vividria, Bonkers, Bugzzy, Fire Lion, Phan Phan, Rolling Turtle, Tedhaun, and Boxy," answered Leafan. "Yeah... I'm on the sixth floor... Wished I was with Vividria..." mourned Paint Roller.
Later, Chef Kawasaki goes to bed. Everyone else who are still on the pool area are enjoying themselves some good time, having ambient leisure as they talk about freeing Kirby and their lives.
"You know, I don't really know how long it will take for us to save Kirby. All I know, I think it's going to be a breeze," said Wheelie.
The next day, the 60 helpers fight some more. They take turns fighting and defeating different foes with ease, like Cupie defeating Madame Elite, Gaw Gaw defeating Beast of Black Lands, and Ringle defeating Daybringer. However, most foes seem to be rather depressed and worried, making the helpers question the tournament itself. However, before the helpers could comment some more, an announcement was made in the rest area.
"Hello, you 60 contestants. Guess what? Your first fight to get you closer to fighting a champion is about to begin," said King Champion. "Wait, how about our fights before?" Asked Boxy. "Oh... I didn't say they were my select fighters," said King Champion. "Okay then... Who are we fighting against?" Asked Bubbles. "Brobo!" Proclaimed King Champion. "Brobo?!" Asked Bubbles in shock as he's later sent to fight Brobo with three others.
Soon, four fighters, Bubbles, Bloon, Venogoo, and Rolling Turtle, come to the arena to fight Brobo. The battle starts off simple as the four simply need to ram at him everywhere he goes. However, things get more complicated when Brobo himself starts to wear his armor and retaliate by shooting at the four contestants. Venogoo was almost hit, but thankfully, Rolling Turtle manages to be the team's trump card as he then wrestles against Brobo. Once the team knocks Brobo out of his armor, he then turns into a giant. This makes the combat much harder, but due to being a big target, hitting him is a lot easier. After consecutive dodging and ramming, Brobo finally explodes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the winners are the four fighters!" Exclaimed King Champion.
The team then goes back to the rest area where they have an interview.
"Tell me, how was the fight?" Asked a reporter. "That was... unexpected..." responded Bubbles. "Yeah, we had never seen him in like... years," said Bloon. "Whatever he was, I'm just amazed that we can defeat a select fighter," said Venogoo. "Yeah, and you should've seen my wrestling moves. I did a triple body slam at that suit of armor, that the rider fell off... Though I wished he didn't turn into a monster. Otherwise, I could've been the one who landed the finishing blow," said Rolling Turtle. "You did, on both occasions," responded Bubbles. "Oh right, I did beat the monster form..." said Rolling Turtle. "Well then, since you won, I at least have to give you something in return," said King Champion. "Oh right... Only one wish?" Asked Bloon. "Yes!" Answered King Champion. "Well then... I wish for a shapeshifting lady," wished Bloon. "Eh, can't argue on that," said the three others. "Your wish is granted," responded King Champion.
Soon, King Champion sends the four fighters a shapeshifting blob, who can shapeshift into any sexy humanoids they choose. They soon show it to their fellow friends.
"Thank goodness I'm out of the kitchen work... Anyways, what can that blob do?" Asked Chef Kawasaki. "That's a shapeshifting lady. It's said that she can shapeshift into any sexy humanoids we choose," said Bubbles, "Show them what you can do."
The blob then shapeshifts into a barrage of sexy forms without any hints of ugliness. At one point, she separates into three girls.
"I'm amazed. Still, I don't have a good feeling about this," said Chef Kawasaki. "You sure will do," said the janitor behind Chef Kawasaki before he leaves. "Man, who's that guy? It seems he's going to be important to us someday," said Bang-Bang.
Later, the 60 helpers got jobs from multiple companies and sponsors. Knuckle Joe, Bonkers, and Bugzzy advertised fight clubs. Wester starred in an indie short film of a sci-fi themed wild west story. Waddle Doo brought success to an oculist thanks to his infomercial. And Wheelie managed to get his film, Wheels of Fury, to the big screen, albeit rated "Only for Adults" due to violence and references, much to Wheelie's dismay that he wanted kids to watch it. Also, Parasol Waddle Dee got questions about his species, to which he (unhelpfully) show the gender differences of his kind.
Not long later, an advertisement for the 60 helpers are made.
"Hailing from Pop Star, introducing you, the 60 helpers. These fun-sized warriors pack a massive punch and come in different shapes and sizes. They have been helpers to Kirby, who's recently became a trophy for King Champion, and now, they're saving him. Will they be able to do it? Let's find out!" Said the infomercial guy. "We'll do it," said Gim.
After a couple more fights against random contestants, Rocky, Parasol Waddle Dee, Metalun, and Boxy are all tasked to fight another of King Champion's selected contestant.
"Now, introducing the witch of falling blocks, Gryll!" Said King Champion. "Gryll? Is she, or he, been doing something lately?" Asked Rocky. "Yeah, I wonder what she's been doing after that star stacking incident," said Parasol Waddle Dee. "No matter what it is, we'll take him down!" Exclaimed Metalun. "And I'll be their special guest," said Boxy.
The chosen four soon faces off Gryll. Gryll first sends of their minions, each wielding different weapon. Boxy then eats them and spits them at Gryll. Gryll was mad at her so they send blocks at her. Thankfully, she unleashes a plethora of magic tricks, breaking the blocks with ease. Gryll then gets frustrated and starts to take the fight on the ground. Metalun and Rocky take this chance to attack them from different angles. Gryll's not pleased with this and rains blocks. Thankfully, Parasol Waddle Dee comes to save the day with his expanded parasol shielding everyone from the blocks. Later on, Gryll warps the arena to fight against the four mid-air. This allows them to constantly let blocks fall through as she flies around. However, Boxy then unleashes four giant birds for her and her team to fly on. It's not until that moment that the giant birds blast at Gryll with such power that they fall down, causing the arena to turn back to normal. Angry, Gryll arms and legs then turn into a huge pile of blocks, followed by their head turning into a monster as their hat rains blocks at the team. However, Metalun manages to take advantage of this by simply letting the ever-shaking pile of blocks letting him crash to Gryll in his ball form. Rocky takes note and uses the shaking piles to his own advantage by being flung to the sky and slamming Gryll head on. To finish the fight, Boxy gives Parasol Waddle Dee a magic parasol. With his new weapon, Parasol Waddle Dee rushes and attacks Gryll with extreme prejudice, causing them to explode alongside with their blocks.
"For the first time in history, a combatant, directly or indirectly via his team, is able to win two consecutive fights. Round of applause for them!" Said King Champion.
The team then leaves with much cheering as they then rest in the rest area.
"Dude, your fight with Gryll was epic!" Said Bubbles. "Yeah... How did King Champion manage to get him... her... whatever that person is?" Asked Parasol Waddle Dee. "I maybe a rock-head, but even I know Gryll is out of our reach," said Rocky. "It must be magic," concluded Boxy. "Or simply luck," said Metalun. "Stop the chitter-chatter, what will be your prize?" Asked King Champion. "Umm... I'm content actually," said Parasol Waddle Dee. "Maybe... Just make Metalun gold," said Rocky. "Okay then!" Said King Champion.
Metalun is then taken and given a new gold body.
"Look at me, I'm fabulous," said Metalun as he dons his sunglasses. "You really are. Say, let's go to our friends. I've been wondering how they've been," said Parasol Waddle Dee.
The team and Bubbles soon go back to the resort. There, they realized that some of their friends are going to other planets because they need some relaxation while on their way to save Kirby.
"Say, aren't we supposed to save Kirby?" Asked Rocky. "We are. But... the progress isn't going anywhere... And King Champion did say to us that Kirby's fine, and he did seem to tell the truth. We saw pictures of Kirby in good care, and I think we just need to go on our current routine progressively, before finally saving Kirby," said Knuckle Joe. "Eh... You should be a bit more aware... King Champion might not be who you think he is..." said the janitor. "We'll see," said Knuckle Joe.
After a few more job takings, business deals, and show and movie roles, King Champion then announces the next selected combatant, right after he chooses Paint Roller, Vividria, Driblee, and Needlous.
"My fellow combatants, it's time for the first ever fight that has actual intensity. Go to the arena, and you'll see who you're fighting with!" Said King Champion. "Ooh... I'm so happy to be with Vividria," said Paint Roller. "Me too with you," said Vividria as she's smitten.
Soon, the four goes to the arena where they'll meet their new opponent, or opponents rather. This is because that two empty portraits come out of nowhere, only for two familiar looking sisters to appear.
"Drawcia?! Paintra?!" Said Vividria in a shock, "How... How did you end up here?" "Sister... What have you become?" Asked Drawcia. "I... I..." said Vividria. "Wait... Those are your sisters?! Man, I always knew you look similar to someone," said Paint Roller, "No offense." "No worries. I get that a lot. It's just... How did I have to meet my sisters again after all these years... just to fight them?" Said Vividria. "Stop asking questions! Now... The battle begins!" Screamed King Champion.
Drawcia and Paintra strike first. Paintra is taking care of Driblee and Needlous while Vividria and Paint Roller fight against Drawcia. The fight escalates quickly as Drawcia sends her minions and magic at Paint Roller and Vividria.
"Sister, why are you doing this?" Asked Vividria. "I don't know... I just... can't answer it," replied Drawcia as she attacks Paint Roller. "Big sis, what were you doing when I was alone?" Asked Vividria. "I... I..." mumbled Drawcia. "Hey, paint witch, spill the cans. She needs answers," said Paint Roller. "Fine! My dream was to turn this world into our world. A painting... for us... We sisters have grown bored of our empty realm, so we invaded this world," said Drawcia. "But, what happened to Paintra?" Asked Vividria.
Not long later, the battle takes a new level when Paintra joins Drawcia in the fight, but Driblee and Needlous are there to support Paint Roller and Vividria. It's only then that Drawcia and Paintra are teaming up in some of their attacks.
"I was joining our big sister in our conquest," said Paintra, "Sadly, I was imprisoned by the Sky People... And when I retained my freedom... I was quickly destroyed..." "But... Why did you leave me? I was worried sick of you, and you're back only to cause suffering? I... don't understand..." said Vividria. "Look, I... was destroyed by Kirby when I thought I was going to win. I thought turning him into a ball would solve my problems, but... it failed," said Drawcia. "Wait? Kirby killed you? Maybe you too, Paintra!" Exclaimed Vividria. "Y-yes..." answered Paintra. "But... why? You both promised that we'll live in a world where everything is our canvas, and we're free to draw without any worries... But all you did was trying to ruin everyone's lives," said Vividria. "I know. I know that it'll hurt you to realize that we're basically threatening the lives of what-you-call innocents. But, we just want to have a world for our own," said Drawcia. "We truly cared about you, little Vividria. We want to make a utopia for us. We just thought we're unstoppable when we're not. That's why we gave some power for you to exist as a physical entity, free of canvas limits," said Paintra. "But I don't want you to do that... I just want you all to be proud of me... I have finally joined a school, made friends... I even got a boyfriend, Paint Roller!" Exclaimed Vividria, "I've been looking everywhere for you to show my progression... But turns out, it's all going to end in violent vain..." "Don't say that, Vividria! This moment is very precious. You got a school, friends, and me. You've shown progress as an individual and that's the point. It doesn't matter if you have to fight your sisters. What matters is that we're together. Finally, in contact to discuss about everything that's going on," said Paint Roller, "I know it hurts to see this happening, but trust me, I've seen worse." "Yeah, little sister. This may be a violent fate for us... But there could be no other way," said Drawcia. "We had brought shame to our name. But you are the only one that remains clean. We're proud of you just for that," said Paintra. "You mean... I'm now the best sister?" Said Vividria in tears. "True... But our lives can't go on like this. Our legacy is important, and we would not stain it further just for you to be happy," said Drawcia. "Sorry if I offended any of you sisters," said Paint Roller. "It's okay," said Drawcia, Paintra, and Vividria.
Not long later, Drawcia and Paintra are finally defeated.
"Vividria, our time has come... We must leave now..." said Paintra. "Don't worry, we'll meet again someday. We just want to say... We're proud of you... Now, destroy our Souls and follow your goals!" Said Drawcia.
Soon, Drawcia and Paintra lose their minds turning into their Soul forms. They look like big blobs with multiple eyes and a melty mouth, with Drawcia having five eyes and Paintra having three eyes and a smaller, smoother mouth and body. The team then rides on their different Air Rides, with Vividria turning into her Soul form first, which is basically a totally smooth blob with an eye that doubles as a mouth. The team then fights against Drawcia and Paintra Soul outside the arena, dodging every projectile they throw at them while shooting them mercilessly. In the end, Drawcia and Paintra Soul explode, making the team winners in the end.
"Looks like we have an unstoppable force. Bring a round of applause for the 60 Helpers! Or what's used of them..." said King Champion, "Anyways, what will be your prize?" "For Paint Roller to replace Boxy's room on the first floor," said Driblee. "Yeah, they needed it," said Needlous. "Your wish is granted!" Said King Champion.
Everyone claps for the helpers as they soon go back to the hotel, which has Boxy and Paint Roller's rooms changed just now, with Boxy not minding it. Later on, Paint Roller and Vividria goes on a date on a random planet.
"Aah... Lovebirds, am I right?" Asked Knuckle Joe. "Meh..." replied Burning Leo.
Suddenly, Sir Kibble finds Metalun doing something fishy.
"Umm... What are you looking at?" Asked Metalun.
Metalun is currently in a hot tub, being joined by twin living metal blocks besides him. The twin blocks are obviously girls as evidenced by their makeups, accessories, and hairstyles. This prompts Sir Kibble to leave Metalun's place.
Not long later, Knuckle Joe and Blade Knight meet with the ever-present janitor.
"So... You're the janitor, right? Why do you act like you're the most important man in the place?" Asked Knuckle Joe. "Yeah, I've seen you everywhere, and not a single time you acted casual," said Blade Knight. "Well, it's not time for me to tell you what you need to know. You'll learn later as time comes," said the janitor as he then leaves. "Man, how often he does that?" Asked Knuckle Joe. "I don't know... Six times?" Responded Blade Knight.
Meanwhile, King Champion then announces something important.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we got a breaking news. Not only we have our first consecutive winners, we also have the shortest time required for a newcomer to face against a selected champion! Hooray for them!" Exclaimed King Champion, "As a result, the ones who fought before must fight against my select champion, and that's..."
Soon, King Champion rolls a wheel to decide who the helpers will fight. And it chooses Water Champion.
"Awesome, it's the Water Champion. She's the newest champion in my selection of champions, and clearly the weakest. But that doesn't mean ease. No, no! She's a short mean drowning machine. And you'll be surprised of what this newbie can do! Now helpers, good luck!" Said King Champion.
Soon, the three teams that fought before work together to fight against her, and the team consists of Bubbles, Bloon, Venogoo, Rolling Turtle, Rocky, Parasol Waddle Dee, Metalun, Boxy, Paint Roller, Vividria, Driblee, and Needlous.
"Ooh... I wonder how she'll fight like?" Asked Driblee. "Well, for certain, she's clearly strong," said Needlous. "Wait, how do you know that Water Champion is a she?" Asked Venogoo. "Well, we can tell by looking her on that huge stadium screen," responded Parasol Waddle Dee, pointing to the big screen on the arena. "Wait a minute... How can she be a champion when that's a title the fighters can choose?" Asked Rolling Turtle. "Well, I hand-picked my champions based on how great they are. But don't worry, they're always ready to fight. And since you're starting to climb the ranks, you'll now fight on other planets!" Said King Champion.
Soon, King Champion teleports the twelve to Water Champion's planet. They soon asked for a challenge.
"Water Champion, it's time to claim our victory," said Bubbles. "What? Since when I have people fighting for me?" Asked Water Champion. "Since King Champion chose you," said Rolling Turtle. "Wait, I didn't get chosen by King Champion," said Water Champion. "Don't lie, we'll beat you now," said Rocky.
Soon, the twelve starts fighting against Water Champion. Water Champion retaliates soon as she constantly sprays streams of water at the twelve. It manages to ruin Vividria and Paint Roller's painting constructs, making them hug each other in fear. However, the water is proven to do nothing against Driblee as he constantly manages to match Water Champion blow-for-blow. This creates clashing waves. Using knowledge of the waves, Rocky and Metalun both morph into their immobile forms to let the waves carry and throw them. It's proven effective, as Water Champion then changes up her strategy.
"If this is not going pretty, I might as well kick it up a notch," said Water Champion.
Water Champion then turns into a huge tidal wave and starts sending the twelve on an adventure across her planet. However, some debris manage to become the twelve's mode of standing as they constantly try to attack her. Bloon manages to pick up Bubbles as he throws him into Water Champion's face multiple times. Needlous then takes the opportunity as Vividria then sculpts a boomerang and let him ride on it. The boomerang then is thrown to go at Water Champion's face. The combined power of Needlous' needles and the rock sculpture was powerful enough to knock Water Champion out of her tidal wave form.
"I see... I remember now... You're from the same guys who tried to beat me before... Too bad, because I'm winning this again, baby!" Said Water Champion.
Suddenly, the entire Water Champion's planet is frozen solid. Every inhabitant of the planet responded quickly, treating it as winter. Water Champion herself transforms into a sleeker ice form, dubbing herself as Ice Champion.
"Guys, I have an idea," said Paint Roller. "What is it, master artist?" Asked Vividria. "I can try to tap my powers to the next level. Hold on tight, we're going on a ride!" Said Paint Roller.
Soon, Paint Roller uses his paintbrush to continuously draw a path for the twelve to ride on. Ice Champion then starts chasing on them. However, because there's no more water, Vividria can now paint and conjure her soldiers against Ice Champion, swarming her with problems. Boxy then spits out some rocket-powered platforms, allowing Parasol Waddle Dee to take on Ice Champion in combat. Later on, Vividria then takes a pragmatic approach and conjures out Acchi, Flamer, Galbo, Heat Phanphan, Hot Head, Bobo, Burnis, and Magoo. Their combined fire and burning power causes Ice Champion to melt. Later on, Venogoo spits poison at her melted body, poisoning her with paralysis as she reforms. Rolling Turtle then uses this opportunity to go to his shell and rush at Ice Champion, smashing her to bit. With this, the twelve won.
"Congrats! The twelve, come back here!" Said King Champion.
Later on, the twelve warriors were transported back to the arena. There, they watch Water Champion's planet being destroyed.
"What happened?" Asked Needlous. "Since Water Champion is no more, her planet goes bye-bye... I didn't say champions get privileges, you know," said King Champion. "Really?" Said the twelve. "I do!" Answered King Champion. "Now, you all have won... the fountain of Water Champion's planet! It can spew water without water!" Said King Champion as he sends the twelve helpers a luxurious fountain. "What else do we get?" Asked Rolling Turtle. "Well, due to popular fan demand, we now allow you 60 helpers to get an extra member, and that'll be..." said King Champion as he starts up his lottery machine.
Later on, the lottery machine stops, and of all the people of Dream Land, it was Minny who's chosen to join. Coincidentally, Minny just arrived to the arena with a black warp star.
"Did I miss something?" Asked Minny. "Nope, you're just in time to officially join the 60 helpers!" Said King Champion. "Sweet! After all the hard work and assistance from Gemra and Metal Bit, I'm finally in the game... Excuse me, I need some rest," said Minny as he sleeps. "Well then, tune in next time folks, for there will be more hardcore fights coming, so see you soon!" Said King Champion as he turns off the arena's screen.
Later on, the twelve comes back to the hotel with their prize and Minny.
"Look who's joining the party," said Needlous. "Minny? Eh, the biggest things come in the smallest packages. Glad to have you here," said Gaw Gaw. "Yeah... Anyways, I heard that Water Champion's planet is destroyed... I feel sorry for her," said Bonkers. "I know, but she might be a bad guy or not. But do we have a choice in here? She was that strong against twelve people, and four were needed to take down one foe that Kirby takes on alone. And it's not really my fault... I thought that she could rise back after being shattered in her poisoned state," said Rolling Turtle. "Well, for certain, we hope that we don't get the next champion's planet destroyed," said Bugzzy. "Okay then, let's rest for now. Kirby's probably fine in the hands of King Champion," said Blade Knight as everyone then rests.
Meanwhile, the same janitor is watching them in secret.
"Soon, you'll see the truth. Just not now," said the janitor.
Later on, King Champion approaches Kirby.
"Kirby, don't you put your hopes up... I'm not going to do anything with you yet, so eat up!" Said King Champion as he forces food to Kirby, "Now, let's find more planets for me to blow up..."
