Quick Note #2: From here till the end of the chapter, we will be following four teams of 4 as they explore the fused up worlds. Looking for survivors and allies for the final battle.

Not all characters from previous chapters will be used. Although, some will be added to each party as the story continues. Also, the first character in said team will be that character's POV.

Alright. Let's continue.

Chapter 48 – Amitwo's True Identity

Team #1 – Amitie, Kirby, Dark Red Amitie, Meta Knight

"Poyo…poyo."

"Yeah. It has been a while since you've been here huh, little buddy?" I said to Kirby.

"Wait, he's already been here?" Amitwo asked.

"Well…from what he told me, he was on something called an Air Ride and an accident happened that sent him here. He actually crash-landed in my backyard."

"It was the uncontrollable acts of that Sphere Doomer that caused the fateful meeting." Meta Knight added.

"*giggle* Yeah, I guess it was a fateful meeting. Wasn't it, Kirby?"

"Poyo poyo."

"Hmph. I guess." Amitwo didn't really seem to care much. Which kinda makes sense since she's the opposite of me. Who cares about pretty much everything.

The four of us were walking through the messed up combination of the two worlds. The buildings of Primp Town Plaza were still here. But most were mixed up with elements from what looked like Butter Building. And even then, some were destroyed due to the sudden attack by Zero and Shadow Arle. It wasn't a pretty sight no matter how you look at it.

"So, Amitie. Where exactly are we going?" Meta Knight asked me.

"Well…I'm looking for my friend, Feli. She knows a lot about dark things related to this. I'm hoping that she knows a way to defeat Zero."

"I see."

"Feli? That's an odd choice. You really sure she can help?" Amitwo asked.

"You don't know her like how I do. The two of us has gotten really close recently."

"Recently? What happened?"

"Well…"

"KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Poyo? Poyo poyo!"

"Don't worry, Kirby. I know where that came from." I said as I rushed on forward with the other three following behind.


Up ahead was the person I was looking for being Feli. But she wasn't alone. She was with her dog Baldanders and her older sister Mao. The latter coming from a different world.

It's a long story that I can't explain right now. Maybe later.

"KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! These damn eyeballs won't let up at all! And they keep getting stronger, too!" Feli screamed as the trio were fighting off the black eyeballs. Blasting and slashing every one that got close to them.

"Tch! Just keep at it, little sis!" Mao shouted. "Whatever these abominations are, they'll know the true power of the Occult Art of Divination!"

"Can you go on, Bal?!"

"ARF! ARF ARF!"

"Alright, on three! One. Two. THREE!"

"Principle Star!"

"Principle Star!"

"ARF ARF ARRRRRRF!"

The trio attacked once more and fended off the black eyes as they were either destroyed or fled. Depending on which ones survived.

"Fufufufu. As fate would have it." Feli said with a small grin on her face as she twirled her dowsing rod around.

"Such extreme power from such a small girl." Meta Knight said.

"Poyo."

"H-Hey, Meta Knight. Try not to say that in front of Feli. She really hates that." I said with a sweatdrop. "Hey! Feli!"

"Amitie!" Feli yelled." "Where the hell were you?! You disappeared all of a sudden and…wait, why are there two of you?" She then got confused when she saw Amitwo floating next to me.

"It's a long story."

"Longer than what we went through?" Mao asked.

"Way."

"ARF." Baldanders was just as amazed as his owners were.

"So does this long story explain why this madness is going on?" Feli asked.

"Long story short, I need to stop a giant bloody eye-looking fallen angel and a demented fallen angel clone of Arle from destroying our world and the world where these two are from." I said while pointing at Kirby and Meta Knight.

"What?"

"ARF?" The Kuromi Trio had a hard time understanding and/or believing what I just said.

"It may sound ridiculous, but it's true." Amitwo added.

"Poyo."

"It could spell impending doom if we don't." Meta Knight said.

"Right." Feli said.

She still finds this hard to believe.

"Well…we'll be glad to help out. Rather not have Primp look dark and disturbing all the time. What to do first?"

"Well, I was wondering if…"

"Where's Melody?" Amitwo cut me off.

"Huh? Melody? Why do you need her? A-And what are you, anyway?" Mao asked.

"Why do you want my mom? What are you planning?" I asked.

"I've got my reasons. Now tell me where she is."

"Geez, you're snarky. Fine. She and Lily are taking shelter at your house. What, do you need us to escort you there too, your majesty?" Mao asked in an annoyed tone.

"Hmph. And you're calling me snarky? You're a big hypocrite, you know that?"

"Oh, really? You wanna say that again while I blast you with my charms, you damn little brat?"

"Oh, you're just asking for it now, goth girl!"

"Goth girl?! Why I outta…"

"Guys!" I shouted as I got in between the two while one had red shadow orbs in her hands and the other's wand was glowing purple. "We don't have time for this!" I then turned to Amitwo. "Look, I don't know why you want to see my mom. But if it will change your attitude, then we'll go there. Alright?"

"Finally! Let's go already!" Amitwo said as she flew right past us. Giving Mao the stink eye while doing so.

"Geez. This other you is a real pain, Amitie." Mao said to me.

"Trust me, Mao. You have no idea." I replied with an exasperated look on my face.


With the extra three help with us, we went over to my house to look for Mom and Lily. So that Amitwo would shut up for a second while we stop the mess she basically caused.

While doing so, I introduced Feli, Mao, and Bal to Kirby and Meta Knight.

"Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God! SOOO CUUUTE!"

And I had to stop Feli's girly side from squishing Kirby into oblivion. The girl has a surprisingly strong grip. Makes me wonder why she's so short in the first place.

Of course. I'm not going to ask her that. I want to stay alive, thank you.

We soon reached my house and I tried to open the door. But it was locked. No surprise. What with this monstrosity going on right now.

"Mom! Open up! It's me, your daughter!" I yelled while banging on the door.

But no one answered.

"*sigh* I bet she's sleeping through all this."

"Is that normal?" Meta Knight asked.

"Yeah, it is. My mom isn't exactly what you would call "normal"."

"I see."

I was about to knock again when I heard the door unlock and slowly open on its own.

"Okay…that's weird." Feli said.

"Who cares if it is? Let's go already." Amitwo said.

"Alright. Cool off already, will you." I said as I took the first step inside. It was really quiet. Dark, too. But I was able to see that furniture was knocked over and windows were broken. And there were a few Butter Building elements here as well.

Not even my own home is safe…

"Mom! Are you her-"

*SPLAT*

"Gah! My eyes! What is this stuff?!" I yelled as something was splatted all over my face and making my eyes sting like hell.

"Poyo…poyo poyo."

"Paint? Where did this paint come from?"

"Get back, you vile fiends!"

Wait. That voice. Isn't that…

We then saw a figure of a woman appear out of nowhere holding what look liked a gun in her hands.

"I guess you didn't learn from your friends, huh?! Well, no matter! I'll blast you all with this toxic paint of mine! Prepare to have your weird black eyes melted off!"

Oh, no.

"L-Lily! W-Wait! I-It's us! Amitie, Feli, Mao, and Baldanders! HOLD YOUR FIRE, PLEASE!"

"H-Huh? M-Miss Amitie? You're back all of a sudden. Where were you?" Lily asked once she realized it was us.

"It's a long story that I can't explain right now. Just know that Raffina's safe too."

"*sigh* At least I can get that off my shoulders."

"That's a pretty impressive weapon you have there, ma'am. May I ask what is it?" Meta Knight asked.

"What, this? It's a paintball gun I've had with me since I was younger. It blasts paintballs that can also be toxic."

"T-Toxic?!" I panicked.

"Don't worry, Miss Amitie. That one on your face isn't one of them. I turned off the setting for it.

"I-I see…" I said as I grabbed a nearby paper towel to wipe my face off of this paint.

"So, is it just you here? Where's Melody?" Mao asked.

"Oh, right. Melody-senpai! It's okay! It's your daughter and friends."

"Huh?! Ammy?! You came back?!" Mom yelled as she appeared from one of the rooms in the back.

"Mom! You're okay!" I cheered.

"Of course, I am. I had Lily's deadly sharpshooting skills to protect me, probably would've been a mutilated corpse if she wasn't here."

"Y-You're welcome, Melody-senpai…" Lily said with a sweatdrop.

Mom then went silent as turned to face a specific person in our group. And with a look of mild anger, too. Something I rarely see in her.

"So I see that you got out, huh?"

"Well of course, I did. That hat wasn't going to last much longer and you know it." Amitwo said.

"And I bet you did things that lead up to this happening, huh? *sigh* I knew you were always trouble. But to do something like this…"

"Hey, I didn't plan for a fallen angel to come and wreak havoc like this! So don't put the whole blame on me! You and that stupid Legend are just as responsible!

"*sigh* There we go with the Legend. You really haven't changed at all…Rivitie.

"Hmph. So you do remember my name."

"Wait…Rivitie? What kind of ridiculous name is that?" I asked.

"It's my ridiculous name, you idiot! Do you not get it, yet?!"

"Y-Your name?! M-Mom! Wh-What's going on?! How do you and Amitwo know each other?!"

Mom looked away from me as I got closer to her face. Her mild angry look was now replaced with an extremely sad one. Another rare sight for me.

"A-Ammy…I-I see that you already know about the Legend. So I'm just going to go straight to the point." Mom took a deep breath before continuing on. "Amitwo…I mean, Rivitie…isn't a clone. She's your twin sister."

I stayed silent for a bit while I tried to process what my mother had just told me.

"Wha…WHAT?! M-M-M…MY TWIN SISTER?!"

It didn't work out well.

"Woah. A twin sister? That's pretty crazy." Feli said. "Just as crazy as finding out that my older sister was a cheesy magical girl actress."

"Oh, come on. It was not that cheesy." Mao said. Sounding a bit insulted.

"Yeah, Sis. It really was."

"ARF."

"H-How?! Wh-What?! What is this?!" I continued to freak out.

"Poyo. Poyo poyo. Poyo." Kirby tried to calm me down, but it wasn't doing much.

"So this Legend is all a shame?" Meta Knight asked.

"Not completely." Mom said. "Up till the part where the Puyo Souls sealed the Dark Soul inside the Red Puyo Hat is true. After that…"

"…Well, that hat was something I got when you both were born. Speaking of which, the two of you were complete opposites of each other. Amitie was sweet and pure and basically the nicest girl you could ever meet. Rivitie, on the other hand…God, you were a monster. You bullied everyone to the point where they cried and treated them all like they were nothing more than a piece of crap on the ground you walked on. Which was also fitting since you would often shove people's faces to the ground and step on them. Point is, everyone hated you.

Myself included."

"Tch." Was all my clone/sister had to say to that.

That look does not look good…

"One day, though…you went too far with the bullying. And by that, I mean you made someone commit suicide because of your sadistic personality. You proved you were a danger to society. So I sealed you up inside the hat, manipulated everyone's memories into thinking that Amitie's my only child, and made up the rest of that stupid Legend. But what I didn't think is that you would actually believe all that and use it to kill your own flesh and blood. And now that I've said all that, you really are pitiful. Pathetic, too."

"Grr…SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, MOM! YOU THINK I WANTED TO ACT LIKE THAT?! I ONLY DID IT BECAUSE YOU PUT ME IN THAT DAMN HAT! TOSSED ME ASIDE LIKE I WAS NOTHING WHILE YOU PRETEND TO TREAT AMITIE LIKE YOUR ONLY CHILD! CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAYS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! I HAD TO WATCH ALL OF THAT INSIDE THE DAMN THING! IT SICKENED ME DAY BY DAY BY DAY! IT WAS INFURIATING!

*pant* *pant*

Of course, I wanted revenge! Sealing me inside that hat with that soul roaming around inside for all these years would obviously make me eviler than I was before! So I waited. Waited until the time was right to get my life back! And when I finally did…when I finally got out and saw my own twin sister that forgot I even existed…the one you and Dad chose over me…the one that replaced me…I was filled with rage! So much so, that she had to die! It felt good to release all that anger after so long!

But you kept coming back. Over and over and over again. I even tried to do it while you slept. But you still kept coming back! So I figured that the only reason to finally get my revenge was to drag you to a different world and kill you there. But I had no idea how. Then that pink thing…I mean Kirby…showed up and you went to Dream Land to help him out. That's when I learned about the Legend and Dream Land's intense power. And I took the chance the moment it came.

But…I didn't think…it would end up like this."

Woah. That backstory…I had no idea she was suffering for so long. I thought she was just an emotionless psychopath bent on killing me. But to think that she felt this way the entire time. That's probably why she cloned the others.

Because she was lonely.

"H-Hey. Uh…"

"Look, I'm sorry for sealing you up in that hat." Mom cut me off. "But in all honesty…you deserved it, you crazy psychopath."

"Mom!"

"Melody-senpai!" Lily yelled.

"What? I mean it. Having her as a daughter was a living hell and she was honestly better off…"

"I knew it!" My clone, I mean sister shouted in anger. You're still as heartless as before! I pulled my heart out to you! Confessing why I nearly killed your OTHER daughter! And you still treat me like trash! Well, screw you too, Mom! You people are on your own! Have fun being killed by Zero, you meanies!"

"Hey, wait!" I yelled.

But she ignored me. She stuck her tongue out and flew out the house. Releasing the hiding tears she's held in for years.

"No! Wait!" I shouted again.

But no answer.

"Rivitie!"

"*sigh* Fiddlesticks."

"Poyo…"

"Not really, Kirby. I'm not really okay."

"Melody-senpai, why would you say that about your own daughter?!" Lily yelled at her.

"Don't give me that look. I was in the middle of an apology when she cut me off and flew off crying."

"You need to work on your apologies." Feli said.

"Amitie. Go after her." Meta Knight said.

"Huh? Should I? What about you guys?"

"We'll be fine. But if Rivitie really is your twin sister, then her power must be equal to yours in some way other than what the Legend describes. Plus, she has fought Zero once before. Her help is greatly needed."

"Y-Yeah…true."

"I'll try and go look for her. But I honestly don't have high hopes. The way she was acting, she may not want to see me."

"Poyo!"

"Thanks, Kirby. Let's start looking."

"Do you really think they can find her?" Feli asked.

"That, Feli, I'm not sure. But both of our worlds are at stake. We'll have to take this chance."

The two of us ran off from the group as we started looking for my just recently discovered twin sister.

Geez. What a bad time for a derailment…

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Dark Red Amitie, Amitwo, and now her true name…Rivitie. A secret Melody has been keeping from her daughter for years is that…she has a second daughter. And that she's partly the blame for this Legend becoming a thing in the first place. Now Amitie and Kirby must find her quickly before it's too late.

By the way, to pronounce her name, it's the first three letters of the word "Rival" and then the last four letters of "Amitie". I wanted to use a French word for it like with Amitie. But none were working out. So I went with this.

So, I'm adding four more chapters to this. I don't really have the time to put the whole separate teams plan into one chapter. As real life things are coming up for me soon. But I will be working on this story only for a while. I really want to finish it. It's been going on for far too long. Feel free to review/favorite/follow/kudos the story. Thanks for reading. Later.
