Chapter 2: Dream Land
The doors open and Ky, Elena, Storm, Lucky, and T.J. leave Justice City and return to Tower of Remembrance but as they look around a different room of the tower they see the clown again.
"Welcome back, Ky. Did you enjoy seeing different memories?" The clown asked.
"It was great to see everyone again, even though they don't remember me. Now, what do you want from me?" Ky asked.
"Don't worry. It's not you we want...yet." The clown said and just then a dark portal appears and it's a figure wearing a black hooded coat with silver pull strings and silver braids, a silver zipper in the middle, black high-heeled boots, and black gloves. "Can I help you?" The clown asked the black hooded cloaked figure.
"I thought I'd want to meet the hero here." The black hooded cloaked figure answered and it's a female voice.
"Oh, you want to test him, I see? Have it your way." The clown said throwing the card at the black hooded cloaked figure who catches it. "Have fun." The clown said as he disappears in confetti.
"I'll try." The black hooded cloaked figure said as she removes her hood revealing a girl face with light blue-green eyes and has orange hair. "It looks like I'm your opponent now, Keyblade master Ky." The girl said.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Ky asked.
"My name? I'm Nixa. Pleased to meet you, Ky." The girl named Nixa introduced.
"So, about this test..." Ky was cut off by Nixa.
"Your test will be to survive against me." Nix said as she takes out what looks like two hookswords and gets into a fighting stance. "I'd hate to see those I meet die at my hand." Nixa said.
(Theme: Face It)
"Don't worry. I'll live." Ky said as he summons Dawn of Hope and gets into his fighting stance.
"Glad to hear it. Let's have fun and no holding back." Nixa said.
(Enter Battle!)
(Boss Theme: The 13th Struggle)
Ky runs into Nixa and slashes at her with Dawn of Hope but Nixa dodges each slash.
"Nice try. Eat vines!" Nixa said as she unleashes vines and they lash at Ky.
Ky recovers and slashes at Nixa three times with Dawn of Hope but Nixa retaliates with her own slashes from her hookswords not letting Ky dodge each attack but Ky casts Cure on himself and then casts Fire at Nixa who dodges the fireballs and then generates leaf blades and has the leaf blades slash at Ky who dodges and then uses Thunder Surge and then horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope but Nixa unleashes more leaf blades and has them slash at Ky and then strikes at Ky with her hookswords but Ky casts Cure again and then finds a card that looks like Elena.
"ELENA!" Ky called and Elena appears.
"Take this!" Elena said as she shoots multiple magic bolts and then casts Thunder getting Nixa until she disappears.
Nixa then generates wooden spikes from the ground and attacks Ky but Ky slashes at Nixa with Dawn of Hope and then casts Blizzard but Nixa slashes with her hookswords and then delivers a vine whip lash but Ky counters with Thunder Surge and then slashes with Dawn of Hope but Nixa unleashes leaf blades and throws them to strike at Ky who finds a T.J. card.
"T.J.!" Ky called and T.J. appears and throws his knives and then disappears.
Nixa slashes with her hookswords followed by unleashing wood hammers and strikes but Ky dodge rolls out of the way and uses Vanish Slash but Nixa then unleashes vines from her arms at Ky who tries to dodge but the vines grab him but Ky frees himself from the vines and then uses Strike Raid but Nixa dodges out of the way and then unleashes wooden spikes from the ground to strike at Ky who dodges and casts Fire but Nixa retaliates with leaf blades and then lashes with vines but Ky counters and slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Thunder Surge but Nixa triple slashes with her hookswords but after her third slash Ky delivers a spin slash with Dawn of Hope and then casts Blizzard but Nixa strikes back with her vines and then generates wooden hammers but Ky uses Vanish Slash and then uses Strike Raid and finishes off Nixa.
"Ugh!" Nixa screams in pain and then falls to the ground.
A card appears before Ky and it transforms into an ability.
(Obtained: Leaf Raid)
After the battle six cards appear in front of Ky and the group look at them.
(Obtained: Dream Land card, Land of Ninja card, Dragon Realms/Forgotten Worlds card, Shimmer Town card, Pac-Land card, and Morning Land card)
"More cards? What do they do?" Elena asked.
"They all look like the card I used when I made Justice City. We'll might need these cards to keep going." Ky said.
"That's correct." A voice said and the group see Nixa standing near the exit of the room as if nothing happened to her.
"Nixa!" Elena yelled.
"Don't expect that after that introduction, I would give up oh, so easily." Nixa said.
"That's right. This was a test." Ky said.
"Yes, and you passed. That means you're more than ready to take on Tower of Remembrance. Be warned though, you'll still have to expect different memories of others. Trust what you see and you'll might encounter your fate." Nixa said.
"What about the others? What about Fulgur and Oswald?" Ky asked.
"I wouldn't worry about them right now. You should be more worried about yourself." Nixa said.
"Why me?! I have friends! I'm not abandoning them!" Ky said.
"Don't lose sight of what you think is more important or this tower will devour you." Nixa said.
"What does that mean?!" Ky demanded pointing Dawn of Hope at Nixa.
"What do you think?" Nixa asked.
"I'll figure out myself. If you get in my way..." Ky was cut off by Elena.
"Don't worry, Ky! We'll take her!" Elena said.
"Hmph. Good answer. Just what I'd expect from a Keyblade master. Brave the tower and the memories of what you see." Nixa said as she disappears in a dark portal.
The group move through the room of the tower and start climbing up spiral stairs but Ky starts to think.
"Hmm...meet the people I think I know, but won't remember me. Trust what I see, and I'll encounter my fate, and don't lose sight of what I think is more important. What does all this mean?" Ky asked.
"I'm having a feeling that Nixa and that clown freak are just trying to get under your skin." T.J. said.
"We'll find a way out of this tower before something bad happens." Elena said.
"And if other people try to stop us, then we'll handle them! We proved that back at Void Citadel! Let's go find our friends and keep going." Ky said.
The group climb up the stairs and reach a new room.
The group are now in the next room and Ky finds another door and walks up to it.
"Where will we go to next?" Elena asked.
"Hmm..." Ky thinks as he looks at the six cards that have Dream Land, Land of Ninja, Dragon Realms/Forgotten Worlds, Shimmer Town, Pac-Land, and Morning Land. "I think know where to go to next." Ky said as he uses a card which is the Dream Land card and uses it to open the door and the group go through the door.
After going through the door Ky, Elena, Storm, Lucky, and T.J. are now in Dream Land and are in a flowery field and they look around.
"Is this Dream Land?" T.J. asked.
"Remember, this is NOT the REAL Dream Land. It's created by the card." Elena said.
"She's right." Ky said.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.
"What?" Ky asked and he sees what Storm is looking at and it's Cappy Town and some noise is being heard.
"Sounds like something is in trouble." Elena said.
"C'mon." Ky said.
The group make their way through the flowery field and to Cappy Town while dealing with Black Xetis and Heartless and later on they arrive at Cappy Town where they see Cappies running around in panic.
"What's happening?" Ky asked.
"Their town is under attack, but by what?" T.J. asked.
The group then see a shadow going around and destroying Cappy Town.
"Hey! Quit it!" Ky yelled as he throws Dawn of Hope at the shadow making it disappear.
"Oh, thank goodness you stopped Kirby from destroying our town." One of the Cappies.
"No. You've got it wrong. It can't be Kirby that caused this. It's an evil lookalike." Ky said.
"It is? I guess it'd make sense because Kirby is on trial at King Dedede's castle." The other Cappy said.
"Not that fathead of a king again. If it means helping Kirby, we'll have to go to his castle." Elena said.
"Let's go." Ky said.
The group make their way through Cappy Town and arrive at a field with the hill leading to the castle while dealing with Black Xetis and Heartless and later on they arrive at the inside of the castle and are in King Dedede's castle.
"Well, there's the trial. Now what's happening?" T.J. asked.
"Let me see." Ky then sees Kirby on trial. "Oh, no..." Ky said.
"It's Kirby and he's being blame again!" Elena said.
"Now, Kirby, I'm sure you're aware of the charges against you?" Escargoon asked.
"No he doesn't! He did nothing wrong!" Tiff said.
"Don't be ignorant for that little pink menace's defense! He's charged for siding with those monsters called the Black Xetis and the Heartless and they're a threat to my kingdom!" King Dedede said.
"Do you have any evidence of that?" Tiff asked.
"The evidence is...I forgot! That's the other crime! Kirby stole my memory!" King Dedede said.
"The evidence was that the Black Xetis and the Heartless have been attacking Cappy Town and Kirby was with them! Now, he has stolen the King's memory! Without it, how can Dream Land be protected?" Escargoon asked.
"This is stupid!" Tuff said.
"It doesn't matter if you're king! You can't blame others for what's happening!" Tiff said.
"How dare you! I am KING!" King Dedede yelled.
"That's it! I'm ending this!" Ky said as he runs for the trial.
"Ky!" Elena said.
"I, hereby find you GUILTY! Punish that marshmallow!" King Dedede commanded as the Waddledees go for Kirby who is scared.
"That's enough!" Ky yelled confronting King Dedede. "Your trial is a load of crap! You need to face the FACTS before blaming others!" Ky yelled.
"How dare you interfere with my court and think that Kirby is not the thief! I suppose that YOU know who the thief is!" King Dedede said.
"I think it's obvious. The thieves are the Black Xetis and the Heartless. They attacked Cappy Town and stole your memory." Ky said.
"How absurd...unless, YOU'RE THE true thief that's working for the Black Xetis and the Heartless!" King Dedede said.
(Theme: Face It)
"Are you STUPID?!" Elena asked annoyed by Dedede's accusations.
"Stop being difficult!" T.J. said.
"Enough! Waddledees! ATTACK!" King Dedede commanded as the Waddledees attack the group.
(Enter Battle!)
The Waddledee soldiers attack the group with their spears and their swords but Ky dodges them and attacks with Dawn of Hope and then casts Blizzard but more Waddledee soldiers attack Ky with their spears and swords but Ky uses Leaf Raid but another Waddledde soldier attacks Ky with its sword but Ky counters with Dawn of Hope and then casts Thunder but more Waddledee soldiers attack with their spears but Ky casts Aero on the Waddledees making them swirl in the air and aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope but the Waddledees attack back but Ky uses Leaf Raid and he defeats all of the Waddledee soldiers.
(Ability obtained: Blizzard Raid)
After the battle against the Waddledee soldiers Ky looks around only to find Kiby, Tiff, and Tuff gone.
"Where'd Kirby go?" Ky asked.
"He, along with Tiff and Tuff probably escaped while fighting." Elena suggested.
"They might've escaped, but YOU won't! Get them!" King Dedede commanded as Waddledee soldiers go for Ky.
"We don't have time for this. Let's go!" Ky said as he and the others leave the castle as the Waddledee soldiers chase after them.
Ky and his friends run from King Dedede's castle and arrive at the Whispy Woods forest and they manage to lose the Waddledee soldiers.
"I think we lost them." T.J said.
"Good." Ky said and he finds Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff. "Are you three okay? You three shouldn't be running off by yourself because of the Black Xetis and the Heartless around." Ky said.
"Sorry, but we just had to get away. I never got a chance to thank you for helping Kirby at that ridiculous trial." Tiff said.
"No problem. I hate seeing innocent people getting accused." Ky said.
"In fact, we kind of did that before." Elena said.
"Huh?" Tuff asked.
"Forget it." Elena said.
"Really? Well, thank you again." Tiff said.
"Hey! I've found something in the woods while we were running. You should have it." Tuff said giving Ky a card and it looks like Max.
"One of my friends! Thanks!" Ky said taking the card.
"No problem." Tuff said.
Just then the card makes Max appear.
"Huh? Where am I? Hey is this where I think I am?" Max asked and then he turns to Ky. "Ky! There you are! You know what happened?" Max asked.
"We'll explain later. Right now we gotta help Kirby." Ky said.
Just then something appears and it's Meta Knight.
"Meta Knight!" Tiff said.
"I see you all have managed to escape from King Dedede's wrath. However, you are not through yet. King Dedede now has it out for you. He will not forget you until his memories are back." Meta Knight said.
"Can't we just stay away from him?" T.J. asked.
"What about Kirby? If Dedede catches him again, he's in more trouble." Ky said.
"Yes. You must help Kirby with a problem. You see, like the King, Kirby has also lost his memory, and does not remember a thing." Meta Knight said.
"What?! Kirby's memory is gone?!" Max asked shocked.
"We have to help Kirby get his memory back." Ky said.
"Yes. You must find who is responsible for the lost memories of Kirby and King Dedede. Find the real culprit and destroy it." Meta Knight as he vanishes.
"So, we have to find who took Kirby's and Dedede's memories and try to get them back?" T.J. asked.
"That's about right." Tiff said.
"Then let's get to it! We'll help you, Kirby. I promise." Ky said and Kirby nods while smiling.
"What if King Fathead comes after us again?" Elena asked.
"Get as far from him as possible." Ky answered and they nod and they move through Whispy Woods.
The group move with Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff through Whispy Woods while dealing with Black Xetis and Heartless and later on they arrive at Kabu Mountain and they look around for anything.
"Kabu Mountain. That should be a good place to be far." Elena said.
"Let's look around." Tiff said as she moves forward but then stops. "Oh, no!" Tiff said and the group see King Dedede and his Waddledee soldiers.
"You'd think you saw the last of me, eh?" King Dedede asked.
"You know, you're REALLY annoying!" Elena yelled.
"Pika!" Storm said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said.
"Game over, ya punks! For stealin' my memories and harborin' this pink fugitive, I'm gonna…I'm gonna…" King Dedede stops talking as a bright flash of light appears. I'm gonna… What the heck is goin' on?! Where am I?!" King Dedede asked.
"What the…?" Max asked.
"What in the world is goin' on? Darn it! I can't remember!" King Dedede yelled.
"What's happening to him?" Tuff asked.
"My guess is someone is stealing his memory again." Elena suggested and just then Tiff looks up.
(Face It)
"Ky! Look out!" Tiff said pointing up and Anti-Kirby appears.
"Kirby! You gonna help?" Ky asked and Kirby nods and the group prepare to fight.
(Enter Battle!)
(Boss Theme: Struggle Away)
Ky is in his fighting stance and is facing against Anti-Kirby.
"So, you're the one responsible for taking Kirby's and King Dedede's memories!" Ky said.
Anti-Kirby swings it hammer at Ky who dodges and Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then uses Vanish Slash but Anti-Kirby multi punches and spin kicks but Ky dodge rolls and uses Leaf Raid striking but Anti-Kirby sinks into the ground and then uses Final Cutter but Ky strikes back with horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope and then uses Thunder Surge but Anti-Kirby slashes with its claws and the charge kicks and strikes at Ky who dodges and then he casts Fire but Anti-Kirby inhales the fireball and then becomes Fire Anti-Kirby and shoots fireballs but Ky dodges and casts Blizzard striking but Anti-Kirby unleashes a jet of fire from its mouth but Ky dodges the fire and then he finds a card and picks it up and it has Max on it.
"MAX!" Ky called and Max appears.
"Gotcha!" Max said as he uses Cyclone to strike at Anti-Kirby until he disappears.
Fire Anti-Kirby unleashes a black warp star and gets on it and flies on it and shoots fireballs at Ky who dodges the fireballs and then uses Vanish Slash and brings Anti-Kirby down off its black warp star but Fire Anti-Kirby unleashes more fire but Ky casts Blizzard again and strikes but Fire Anti-Kirby delivers fireballs but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a swing slash making Anti-Kirby return to normal but Anti-Kirby slashes with its claws and then swings its hammer but Ky counters and then slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Blizzard but Anti-Kirby inhales the ice shards and becomes Ice Anti-Kirby and unleashes ice shards but Ky dodge rolls and uses Leaf Raid to strike but Ice Anti-Kirby uses its ice to freeze Ky but Ky manages to avoid being frozen and then casts Fire to strike but Ice Anti-Kirby shoots an ice beam from its mouth but Ky dodge rolls and then summons Elena who throws magic bombs and then casts Thunder but Ice Anti-Kirby shoots ice shards but Ky dodges and finds a card and it has Kirby.
"KIRBY!" Ky called and Kirby appears.
Kirby delivers a spin kick and then swings his hammer to strike at Anti-Kirby and then disappears.
Anti-Kirby uses Final Cutter to strike at Ky who dodge rolls and then summons T.J. who uses Multi Slash to strike at Anti-Kirby and then leaves but Anti-Kirby delivers multi punches and then spin kicks but Ky dodges and slashes with Dawn of Hope and then summons Storm who uses Volt Tackle and then leaves but Anti-Kirby swings its hammer at Ky who strikes back with Vanish Slash but Anti-Kirby uses Stone to try and crush Ky who dodge rolls but Anti-Kirby's stone state makes him invincible until he returns to normal and Ky summons Lucky who uses Egg Roll and strikes and then disappears but Anti-Kirby slashes with its claws but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then summons Kirby who uses Final Cutter to strike but Anti-Kirby charge kicks at Ky but Ky counters and vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope but Anti-Kirby sinks into the ground and then spin kicks but Ky summons Max who uses Shield Missile but Anti-Kirby unleashes its black warp star and uses it to crash at Ky but Ky aerial slashes at Anti-Kirby with Dawn of Hope and then uses Blizzard Raid and finishes off Anti-Kirby making it disappear in dark mist.
A card appears before Ky and it transforms into an ability.
(Obtained: Fire Strike)
After the battle the group see King Dedede coming to the group.
"What the heck's goin' on?! Where did that monster come from?!" King Dedede demanded.
"You really wanna know that?" Ky asked.
"So, ya don't wanna answer, huh? You're plannin' against me along with that pink menace! Guards, get 'em!" King Dedede commanded and the Waddledee soldiers go for the group.
"Come on!" Tuff said.
Just then a flash of light appears and Kirby shakes its head.
"Kirby?" Tiff asked and Kirby is happy to see Tiff and Tuff.
"It seems Kirby's memories have returned." Meta Knight said as he appears.
"Just what is…" King Dedede was cut off by a flash of light. "Huh? What? What am I doin' here?!" King Dedede asked and then sees Kirby. "You have somethin' to do with this, ya pink marshmallow?!" King Dedede demanded.
"What about him?" Ky asked.
"His memory is also restored." Meta Knight said.
"What?! My stolen memory is back?!" King Dedede asked.
"Yeah, so leave Kirby alone." Max said.
"I don't so! I still have to get rid of him once and for all!" King Dedede said as he and his Waddledee soldiers leave Kabu Mountain.
"He still doesn't give up!" Ky said. "Well, at least ya got your memory back, Kirby." Ky said to Kirby who jumps up and down for joy.
"Thanks, Ky." Tiff said.
"Yeah. You're the best." Tuff said.
"No problem. I was happy to help." Ky said.
"You three take care now." Elena said.
"And try not to pay attention to that fathead of a king." Ky said.
"Trust me. We try all the time." Tiff said and everyone laughs.
Later on Ky and his friends say their goodbyes to Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff and they leave Kabu Mountain and later on they find the same door that leads to the exit and so Ky goes for the door and opens it and the group leave Dream Land.
To be continued...
