Cackletta called down lightning bolts on her opponents. Popple went after Luigi and Wario went after Mario. Everyone else charged towards Cackletta, who kept disappearing and reappearing again. She could handle a bunch of people attacking her at once.
"Take THIS you fools!" she cackled.
A huge wall of fire surrounded Cackletta, then it grew wider and wider, attempting to bring down anyone that was surrounding her.
"PK FREEZE!" shouted Lucas.
He managed to get some of the flames to die down, but not all of them. Over to the left, Popple reached into his stash bag and threw big Poison Mushrooms at Luigi. Luigi managed to dodge them, but on the last one, he kicked it over to his right, accidentally causing Waddle Dee to swallow it. He fell to the ground with poison flowing through him.
"Well at least they were useful in some way, see?" said Popple.
Wario was always strong, but now was super strong because of the Ultimate Power Star. It took a lot of effort on Mario's part to block his punches. Mario hopped onto the wall, then flew over Wario and kicked him into the wall. Then when Wario got up, he bit Mario with his big mouth and spat him back onto the ground.
"How do you like that?" boasted Wario, "I'm super crazy powerful now!"
Back in the main hall, Darkkoopa's minions and Dimentio's monsters were still battling each other. Waluigi and the Bob-ombs were watching from the balcony above. Unknown to Meta Knight or Darkkoopa, at the time he was alive, they had been watching their fight and saw Meta Knight finally defeating Darkkoopa.
"Don't his idiot minions know that their leader is dead?" asked Waluigi.
"Like you just said, mate, they're idiots!" said Blue Bob-omb.
"I'll never get anywhere with all of them fighting!" said Waluigi.
"That can be solved easily!" said Black Bob-omb, "You guys ready?"
"Ready!" said Green Bob-omb.
"Jump!" said Black Bob-omb.
"Whee!" exclaimed Red Bob-omb.
The Bob-ombs fell in various places in the main hallway. Neither Dimentio's monsters nor Darkkoopa's minions noticed them falling down until they started exploding. Lots of bodies flew up in the air, burnt to a crisp because of the Bob-ombs. The battle was cut short as they saw more and more Bob-ombs falling down.
"Now I can make my way through!" said Waluigi.
He slid down a pillar and ran through the commotion. He got out quickly, but had no idea where he was. He certainly wasn't facing the door to the control room. He went down the stairs in hopes that he would find where he was hoping to go.
Dedede was doing what he could to get the poison out of Waddle Dee, but he was no doctor. He couldn't do it. Not since he wasn't a doctor, and especially since there was all sorts of commotion around him, such as Luigi and Popple hopping over him while battling each other.
"The battle is mine, see?" said Popple.
"Oh no it isn't!" replied Luigi.
Luigi flipped up into the air and landed on top of Popple, and then kicked him into the wall. Popple grabbed his stash bag and swung it around, throwing Luigi into a pillar. Popple took the chance, while Luigi was down, to use a Poison Mushroom on Luigi. But then the battle between Wario and Mario got in his way, and it accidentally bounced off Wario.
"WHAT?" cried Popple, "But those always work even if they aren't swallowed! How did it bounce off you?"
"Pure muscle, baby!" said Wario.
"Well boo! Boo to you, I say!" said Popple, "Now get outta my way! I'm still fighting the green guy, see?"
"Whatever!" said Wario, "I'll kick ass the way I want to, and I wanna kick it like THIS!"
Wario punched Mario right under the jaw and it threw Mario up into the air. Mario wasn't being careful, so he landed on his back, which really hurt. Wario then got ready to bite him again, but then he felt something was lost. The Ultimate Power Star flew out from his pants pockets and into Cackletta's hands.
"Hey!" cried Wario.
"Sorry, sonny," said Cackletta, "but this is what it was all about!"
"WHY YOU…" growled Wario.
Wario went to attack Cackletta, but suffered a painful fist in the stomach from Mario. Mario then kicked Wario up in the air and kicked Wario into the wall. Mario used the Ultimate Power Star to turn his outfit from red and blue to red and white, and fired fireballs at Wario until he flew through the wall and out of sight.
"Now I have a greater advantage!" said Cackletta.
"Now to finish the green guy off," said Popple.
Popple went to poison Luigi with a Poison Mushroom, but Luigi slid towards Popple and kicked him into the same pillar, then hopped on him until he was as flat as a pancake.
"This is unfair!" said Popple, "I shouldn't have lost, see?"
Cackletta made herself disappear just as Diddy Kong fired a big peanut at her. She reappeared in front of the flattened Popple.
"How did you lose?" asked Cackletta.
"I don't know, but fix me!" said Popple, "Then I'll fix green guy up good!"
"I don't think so," said Cackletta, "You've already lost to him. You blew your second chance, so now you will pay!"
"WHAT?" shouted Popple, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME!"
"On the contrary, Rookie," said Cackletta, "I can, and I will!"
Cackletta struck Popple with a lightning bolt which sent him flying off the balcony and down to the madness of the battle below, which was coming to an end thanks to the Bob-ombs. Cackletta shot huge energy bolts towards everyone else that was coming to attack her.
Dedede, especially, had enough of Cackletta. Waddle Dee was dead now because of the Poison Mushroom, and although Cackletta wasn't directly responsible for Waddle Dee's death, she was the only one Dedede could take it out on with a good excuse.
Cackletta was charging up a huge energy sphere for a finishing attack, leaving herself wide open. Pikachu charged up his lightning. Dedede got out his hammer. Lucas prepared to PK Fire. Peach and Daisy flew up and went to kick her. The Yoshis loaded themselves with eggs. All the members of Star Fox, which were Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy, took out their blasters and aimed at Cackletta. The Four Links combined their bombs with their arrows and aimed at Cackletta. Bowser breathed fire at her. Bowser Jr. had recovered and was doing the same thing. Kirby inhaled a large stone and fired it at Cackletta. Zelda fired a Light Arrow at her. Donkey Kong charged up his fists and Diddy Kong fired peanuts. Mario got some fireballs ready and Luigi jumped high in the air to pounce on her.
Of course, all of these attacks combined were countered by Cackletta's energy sphere. It created a huge explosion, throwing Peach and Daisy off the balcony and down to nothingness, and everyone else flying backwards.
"I'll finish this here and now!" said Cackletta.
She then cried out in pain. Meta Knight had made it just in time to slice through Cackletta and make her fade away. Her Ultimate Power Star flew back into Mario's hands.
"Seems like I made it just in time," said Meta Knight, "Here are your Ultimate Power Stars."
He returned the two that he borrowed to Donkey Kong and King Dedede, which gave him an idea. Dedede ran over to Waddle Dee's corpse and held the Ultimate Power Star over him. Waddle Dee's arm twitched a little, and then he slowly got back up on his feet.
"I did it!" said Dedede, "I. AM. GOD!"
"Darkkoopa is no more," said Meta Knight.
"Good riddance to that traitor!" said Bowser.
"Hey," said Luigi, "Where's Peach and Daisy?"
Peach and Daisy were still falling down into the void. They had no hope of being rescued.
"Looks like this is it, Daisy!" said Peach.
"Nice knowing you!" replied Daisy.
Peach and Daisy held their breath, shut their eyes, and prepared for the worst. Then they felt like they landed on something. Something that was moving. They opened their eyes to see that Blablanadon had stopped their fall and was flying back up.
"B-Blablanadon?"
Peach sat up and talked to him.
"I thought you were working for Dimentio!" she said, "He threatened to destroy your homeland!"
"He double crossed me!" said Blablanadon, "He's going to destroy Beanbean Kingdom either way!"
"That doesn't surprise me," said Peach.
"And I've also realized something," said Blablanadon, "Giving in to Dimentio's demands would never have protected Beanbean Kingdom! The only way to protect the land I love is to fight for it!"
Time remaining until Doomsday: 6 hours, 35 minutes, 12 seconds
