It was a quiet Friday morning, and I was barely waking up, I got up from my bed, and looked out the window, the sun was shining bright, not a single cloud in the sky, I then said to myself "Should I go outside? Nah."
I went back into my room, got my Nintendo Switch, booted up Kirby Star Allies, and selected my profile. As soon as I was in the main menu, it said that it got an update, a new side game called "Heroes in Another Dimension" was available, I was going to do another Guest Star run with Adeleine and Ribbon, but I guess that'll wait another time.
I was eager to try out the new side game, see what challenges awaited me there. It then said I needed to collect Friend Hearts to progress further, and you know me, I tend to collect all of them. Most were in plain sight, some hard to reach, and others by puzzles, I made sure I didn't miss not one so I wouldn't backtrack. At the end of each areas, I fought Parallel versions of similar bosses, Whispy Woods, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Kracko.
Each were tougher than their regular counterparts, but I still beat them without any problems. After defeating the parallel bosses, I said to myself "Alright, I collected all 120 Friend Hearts, so the S Rank is in the bag, now for the final battle."
The portal to the showdown appeared, and I was more than ready for the fight, I had the Hammer Ability on Kirby, my teammates were Adeleine and Ribbon, Marx, and Dark Meta Knight. Upon entering the portal, it sent me to a dark arena, the Jamba Heart appeared in the middle, and it started to crack open, when it shattered, it revealed Hyness, but he was looking different, his white robe was now black, and his name was Corrupted Hyness.
The battle started, his attacks were the same as the first time I fought him, only this time they were faster than usual, I quickly avoided his attacks while landing some of mine and the teammates also landed some good hits on Hyness, the A.I. on the allies were surprisingly good, guess they were ready for the fight as well.
When Hyness' life bar reached half, his hood flew off, I already knew the second phase of the fight was about to begin, he summoned up three logs of wood, rather than the Mage Sisters, I said to myself "Ha! He's using logs instead? He's such a loner!" Hyness begins by forming his version of the Friend Circle, the movement was faster than last time, but I still avoided it with ease, even my allies dodged with no worries, Adeleine and Ribbon were using the Canvas Cover to avoid damage, something I'd never thought I'd see from the A.I. doing that.
When Hyness got dizzy from that attack, me and my teammates unloaded strong attacks on him, defeating Hyness a second time. I kind of thought that Hyness would at least put up a fight, but I predicted each of his movements from his first fight.
Then the Mage Sisters showed up seeing if Hyness was okay, and they also looked corrupted like him, Francisca, Flamberge, and Zan Partizanne's robe were white, and their eyes were all red, I then had a feeling that they were the real final boss instead of Hyness, I was right.
The Mage Sisters now had a personal vendetta against Kirby, and I had to fight the three of them all the same time, I then said to myself "Aw crud! A 3 vs 4 showdown!" The actual final battle began, and each were attacking from opposite sides, giving me limited space to fight back, my teammates were also attacking that gave them invincibility frames, which was being very effective to the corrupted mage sisters, what made it more challenging is that I had to remember their patterns while looking at the others so they wouldn't mess up my concentration.
Half of their life was already taken out, and all three were ticked off that they couldn't even land a hit on me or my allies, they all had their desperation attacks ready, Zan Partizanne shot her thunder beam from the top right corner, Flamberge shot her flame cannon from the middle left, and Francisca shot her soda gun from the bottom right, I mainly focused on Francisca's trajectory, hoping to not get caught on all three attacks.
I did avoided it by predicting the movement of the soda gun, only giving me very little space, Adeleine and Ribbon were using the Canvas Cover again to dodge everything, Dark Meta Knight was behind a mirror to reflect the beams, and Marx was opening up a black hole to suck up the stars that the Mage Sisters left when performing their attacks, which was very smart to avoid damage and attacking them at the same time.
Their life bar was near empty, and I needed to deliver a strong blow to finish them, I charged up the flare hammer, and waited for one of them to get close to me, Flamberge was about to dash towards me with her sword, and I swung the hammer, both of us were about to collide head to head, it felt like it was going in slow motion, and my hammer hit her first.
BAM! The Mage Sisters were defeated, I jumped up from the bed and yelled out "YEAH!!!" That was probably the toughest boss fight I ever had, but it was worth the hard effort. After the fight, Kirby assembled all the Friend Hearts to form one big friend heart, and threw it to the Mage Sisters, their color palettes were back to their original colors, they were purified.
Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne all looked at each other, then at Kirby, then they nodded at the same time, the three of them prayed to purify the arena they were at, the dark, distorted realm was now bright and colorful, and they brought the Warp Star to Kirby to escort him and his friends back to Pop Star.
When Kirby waved at the Mage Sisters and left, a small Friend Heart landed on Hyness, purifying him as well, he regained consciousness, and the mage sisters were surprised to see him okay, still proving that Kirby may be the proclaimed Star Warrior, but he's still willing to forgive those that oppose him.
I did got the perfect S Rank on Heroes in Another Dimension, and to make matters better, I unlocked the Mage Sisters as Dream Friends, I said to myself "OH!!! Kirby now has the Mage Sisters as Dream Friends!" I was excited to try them out on the Guest Star run, three characters for the price of one was a real gift.
