As the two ships soared across the sky, a familiar star shaped world was soon coming into view as they approached.
'I can see it! Its Planet Popstar!" Chopper said.
"Yep. Man, it feels like its been ages since we've been back here. Brings back some good memories." Natsu said. "Mostly us kicking some monster ass."
"Uh… Guys…" David said.
"O-of course, we don't really mean anything against Sectonia." Levy said.
"Yeah. Symonne made her that way." Zoro said.
"So, Sectonia. Know that we don't hold anything against you for what happened. After all, you ended up that way unconsciously." Nami said.
"And now Taranza is the one being manipulated." David said. "I swear… Every mirror in that world could be possessed by a demonic being."
"No big deal. If a mirror's behind this, all we gotta do is smash it apart, forgetting about the seven years of bad luck with it." Dan said.
"Seven years bad luck? Please, that's just superstition. No one believes in that junk." Zinia said.
"Still, since Sectonia is with us, we should expect some awkward reunions." Regal said.
"Not that many. The only people she crossed was Kirby, Taranza and Dedede. Come to think of it, she did cross Arachnus too." Sunset said.
"Yakkai, you mean." Sectonia said.
"No, Arachnus was a Yo-kai living in the kingdom you were messing with. Yakkai was the Kaima you sent flying." Franky said.
"Ah, right… I was under the Dimension Mirror's influence at the time, so my memory of the event is kind of hazy." Sectonia said.
"Oh, then let me fill you in. While ruling the kingdom, the Kaima were trying to manipulate you into capturing the Classic Yokai, but we stopped Yakkai who was sent there and Hope kicked your butt with Lunala and Kirby." Pinkie said.
"Pinkie! Subtlety, please!" Rainbow said.
"So...I should tell her the part where she was crazy and manipulati-" Pinkie began before Ruby covered her mouth.
"Okay, she has no clue what the word means." Ruby said.
"Anyway, we're back and ready to save Dreamland again." Linkle said.
"Uh...is it me or does it look different?" Luffy asked as they looked down to see a medieval like town with Waddle Dees and lower tier monsters acting like citizens.
"Huh? Didn't look like this last time we were here." Odd said.
"Wonder what the occasion is." Leia said.
"Yeah, something's definitely going on here. Let's check it out." David said. "Sectonia, are you going to be alright?"
"Yeah. I'll be okay. Let's go." Sectonia said.
They entered the town as a bandana Waddle Dee walked by. "Hello there, fair citizens and welcome to the Dream Kingdom."
"Dream Kingdom? Don't you mean Dreamland?" Erza asked.
"No. That term is unknown to me, fair travelers. This is the great Dream Kingdom!" Bandana Waddle Dee said.
"Hmm… I thought something seemed off…" David said. "It looks like we ended up in some sort of alternate dimension. Either that or an alternate version of Dreamland."
"Isn't that technically the same thing?" Natsu asked.
"Not exactly." Genis said. "Take David's case for example. His Tokyo was already destroyed, and yet the Ikebukuro we were just in was still standing. This could mean that David's world was an alternate version of the one where Ikebukuro was."
"I see. Similar worlds, but not the same." Jude said.
"That's very possible. Seeing as how we have different universes and worlds. Some into the future, some taking a different evolution like utilizing steam." Robin said. "I agree with this theory."
David turns to the Waddle Dee. "Forgive us, but it seems we misunderstood. Would it be alright if you told us about this place?"
"Yeah! Tis a peaceful land it is. But recently, we have been plagued with monsters and causing trouble for us. That is why we are in desperate need for warriors." Waddle Dee said. "Why, two of them already ventured out to battle Big Waddle Dee out in the Grasslands. Yes. We have sent Sir Kirby the Sword Hero and Sir Yellow Kirby the Hammer Lord."
"Of course Kirby would be the hero here. Let's go and help him then." Jexi said.
And so our merry band headed out to brave the Grasslands where they saw the sight of a gigantic Waddle Dee facing off against a pink puffball wielding a sword and a yellow puffball hefting a large hammer.
"Yep. That's twice the Kirby-ness!" Pinkie said.
The two kirby's were working together as they battled against the Giant Waddle Dee as they were pushing it back.
"They definitely have good teamwork." Aelita said.
"Yeah. This whole kingdom is like a massive RPG. Teamwork has to play a major part in order for them to beat the boss." Indigo said.
"Of course, this is just the first one, so it shouldn't be too difficult for them." David said.
"Yeah. Anyone could beat a monster like that with just one punch." Natsu said as the two Kirby's finished it off. "Like that."
"So we get to be some sort of RPG warriors? Awesome!" Lemon said.
"In a way." Scott said.
"What are you talking about, Scott? You do the whole game thing all the time." Rainbow said.
"Either way...this is gonna be fun. A chance to stretch some muscles." Jexi said.
"And by beating lots of monsters in a row, we're gonna blow those other color fighters away." Natsu said.
"Yes, we should expect a few of them on our way to saving this world." David said. "Maybe we'll even find out how Taranza ended up the way he did."
"Hold your horses, Dave. We still don't know if it's the same Taranza we met back in Nia Khera." Jude said.
"So this is how you spend your time? Prattling about?" a voice asked as they turned around to see Volt standing behind them.
"Volt!" Lemon said.
"Why are you here? To fight us?" Sanji asked.
"Wrong. I wish to team up with you for this world." Volt said.
"You wish to ally with us?" Sectonia asked. "Not that we're complaining, but what brought this up?"
"Honestly, I've already done nine of them and need this one to finish. Besides, I have fought alongside all of you before. And we have done battle here together so I wish to make my last world before I return a group effort with my former teammates." Volt said.
"He's done nine already? Wow, he works fast!" Scott said.
"Ah, that's right. Our group hasn't officially met you before the trial started." David said.
"My name is Volt. I use the Lightning Style and am currently busy restoring the Skyian City." Volt said.
"I can kind of tell how it happened." Lloyd said. "But I hope it all works out."
"It's going smoothly." Volt said. "Some of my people are already returning. But...we can discuss it later."
"Volt, we fought beside each other before. Of course we can team up." Jexi said.
"I look forward to working with you." David said.
"Likewise." Volt said. "Now, let's return to the village. I have a target planned out for us to go after."
"Alright." David said. "And while we're at it, may we tell you what brought us here? It's...kind of a personal thing for Sectonia."
"You came to have Sectonia face her past for what happened while under the influence of the Dimensional Mirror." Volt said.
"Yeah, that's basically it in a nutshell." David said.
"You aren't as discreet as you think." Volt said taking out his phone showing pictures of the Brave Adventurers. "You adventurers have been rising in popularity since you battled in Ryu's world as well as Metal City."
"Would you look at that. You guys are famous." Soul said.
"Well, it was a matter of time." David said. "After all, these places had big hits."
"Shadaloo and the Ginova Family. And apparently Sectonia was taken off the wanted list after a witness saw her battling Black." Lemon said.
"It could only have been Flux. He was the only one besides us and Hope that was there." Tapu Fini said.
"And Ty's team. Let's not forget about that." Jude said. "Some of us were with him when split up in Hope's fight with Reaper."
"Yes. A lot of events have happened since you defeated the Ginova Family. Because of that, many criminal organizations are trying to make a move and takeover the Ginova Family's old territory but have been denied this due to the Shadow Strike Force." Volt said.
"Yep. That's Ty and his team defending his turf." Zelos said.
"Though, that's kind of expected of a former gang leader." Jude said.
"At least he's keeping the city safe and that's all that matters." Jexi said.
"Anyway, we should head back to the village." Lloyd said.
"Agreed. Although, if this Kirby knows the Dimensional Heroes, and he saw Sectonia with us, then we have a lot of explaining to do." David said.
"You gotta stop worrying about that so much. Sectonia's different. You should have more faith in how people will behave." Natsu said.
"But David's right. Kirby doesn't know that yet. Plus, my first impression was kind of... hostile." Sectonia said.
"That's a bit of an understatement." Usopp said.
"Anyway, let's follow Lloyd's advice, head to the village, and see where things go from there." Ramona said.
