Chapter 18: The Insanity of Hyness

Mysterious mage- Juh? What is this…interference?

Then this mysterious mage in a white robe descended the stairs where Racoon Mario, Ultra Sword Kirby, Bowser, and King DeDeDe were. Eventually, he reached where Zan Partizanne was lying on the floor.

Mysterious mage- You…you seem to be in my way.

Then the mysterious mage just smacked Zan Partizanne and knocked her across the room.

Ultra Sword Kirby- That was cruel!

Racoon Mario- I take it you're the one behind all of this?

Mysterious mage- That is correct. I am Hyness, the Officiant of Doom and leader of Jambastion. And you would be the ones interfering with my plans to retrieve the Jamba Heart pieces?

Ultra Kirby- Why are you doing this? You're causing a lot of damage throughout the universe with those!

Hyness- Not my fault that most living beings have their souls corrupted when they come into contact with the Jamba Heart. The only thing I want…is to restore my clan's honor! But it seems…we don't have enough energy…to revive our Dark Lord…Must we…allow ourselves…to fall…into oblivion? NO. NO! No no no no no! NOOOOO, I SAY!

Then Hyness begins waving his arms in the air like crazy and talking far faster then the viewers could read his dialogue.

Hyness- We are the masters of a power driven to the far reaches of the universe, and we have but one desire! Can one possibly fathom how dearly we have clung to this dream across aeons? How could you! You couldn't! Never ever ever! We who once faced those who were in such fear of our power that they sealed us away and banished us to the edge of the galaxy! US! As if THAT loveliness wasn't enough, they tried to erase our very existence from history! RUDE! Only through our magic were we able to overcome their science and achieve great prosperity! We alone were responsible for stopping that repulsive nightmare of galactic crisis, yet this is how you repay us! This won't stand! It won't be forgiven! It won't be forgotten! Never ever EVER! Those who called us mad, are you listening? You left us at the edge of galaxy to be forgotten, then went along your merry way, probably living somewhere pretty and peaceful! But I know this! Your future is a farce! You have none! We, masters of a matter most dark, vow to be restored, as foretold in the books of legend, which everyone thought was a fairytale! It WASN'T! We have already obtained the vessel that contains our Dark Lord, and he will soon awaken and shower us in compassion! Look! The vessel of our Dark Lord is filling up even as we speak! Now the time for his greatness to enter our world has come! Welcome to a new history! A new age! The age of awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARK LORD! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

King DeDeDe- What…the…hell…is this nutjob talking about?!

Bowser- I swear, he's even more insane than Fawful!

Viridi (telepathically to everyone)- Let me give you the abridged version. Basically, the Ancients of Halcandra were divided into two clans. One worked in science and technology while the other in magic. The ones in magic were the ones who were most loyal to Void Termina. Even after he went insane. And after Void Termina was put on ice by Kimberly, Halcandra feared the clan of magic was too dangerous to be left unchecked under the fear that the same nightmare Void Termina put Halcandra through would repeat. Hyness was one of the few survivors of that clan and he let his anger and sadness grew inside of him until he clearly lost his mind.

Hyness- Grace us, Glorious Dark Loooooood! You see it now…don't you? Anyone who interrupts our revival ceremony…we must kindly ask that they…PLEASE DISAPEAR FOREVER!

Ultra Sword Kirby- No way are we gonna stand down! I'll stop him just like Kimberly did!

Hyness- So, you're the one who our Dark Lord spoke of? Yes, you do strongly resemble Kimberly. You're not a Void Spawn like she was, but the blood of our lord still flows through your veins. You are definitely part of the Void!

Ultra Sword Kirby- Excuse me?

Hyness- Don't you see it? Kimberly got her powers from her father, Void Termina. How do you think you got your powers? The same ones that Kimberly possessed! Why else would the Dark Lord be calling out to a random Star Warrior like you?

Then Ultra Sword Kirby looked at the nearly complete Jamba Heart in the background and was hearing a demonic whispering calling out to him. Ultra Sword Kirby shuttered a bit and took half a step backwards. But then Racoon Mario put his hand on Ultra Sword Kirby's shoulder, informing him the he has his back.

Hyness- You intend to keep our lord's family away from him just like how Marco tried to keep Kimberly from him. But it's time to make you all disappear!

Then Hyness floated into the air and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, Ultra Sword Kirby lost his Super Copy Ability and changed back to normal Kirby.

Hyness- Just making it easier for me when you don't have those stronger copy powers to give you an unfair advantage.

Then Hyness created two balls of energy and launched them at Racoon Mario and the others. However, Racoon Mario and King DeDeDe swatted them with Marco's sword and DeDeDe's mallet and knocked them right back at Hyness. Hyness was almost knocked out of the air after getting hit with his own attack, but he retaliated by creating four pillars of fire jet from the ground. Racoon Mario, Kirby, Bowser, and King DeDeDe barely managed to avoid it.

Kirby- If only I had a copy ability active…

Then Bowser hands Kirby a Bob-Bomb.

Bowser- Here! Don't say I never did anything for you, pink blob!

Kirby- Thanks.

Kirby inhaled the Bob-Bomb and transformed into Bomb Kirby.

Bomb Kirby- POYO!

Then Bomb Kirby manage to hit Hyness in the face with a bomb and actually blew part of his hood off.

Hyness- Juh? JUH…JUH! JUHYAMBAVITRIGOKOPOKOJAAAH!

Then Hyness revealed his face at last under the hood. He had a Squidward-like nose, his eyes seem to go all over the place like a chameleon's eyes, and his ears looked like yellow horns. Hyness began flailing his arms like crazy until the three Mage Sisters appeared surrounding him. Then Hyness began absorbing their magic until the three turned into darker versions of themselves.

Bomb Kirby- What have you done to them?!

Hyness- These useless fools? I simply took what I needed from them to help regain my strength. It's all they've been good for so far.

Racoon Mario- That's harsh, considering they think of you as their savior for rescuing them.

Hyness- They couldn't stop you fools from interfering with my Dark Lord's revival. They are useless to me now. So you can take them!

Then Hyness launches Francisca like a missile at them while her body had an icy aura around her. They managed to dodge, but ice began to spread across the ground and actually froze King DeDeDe's leg to the floor.

King DeDeDe- Hey! I'm stuck!

Bowser- I've got this!

Then Bowser spat out a small flame as he tried to melt the ice around DeDeDe's foot. But before Bowser could finish thawing out DeDeDe's leg, Hyness launched Flamberge next at them with a flaming aura around her body. Racoon Mario swung his racoon tail and managed to knock Flamberg away from Bowser and DeDeDe. However, his racoon tail caught fire and burnt up, changing him back to regular Mario. Then Hyness flung Zan Partizanne at them next with an electrical aura around her body. Luckily, Bowser got DeDeDe's leg free as him, Mario, and DeDeDe dodged Zan Parizanne as well. Bomb Kirby threw a bomb at Hyness, thinking Hyness had no more Mage Sisters to use as weapon. But to Bomb Kirby's surprise, the three Mage Sisters were pulled to Hyness like magnets and shielded him from the bomb explosion.

Hyness- You won't be able to attack me that easily! Now take this!

Then Hyness and the Mage Sisters all took the form of a wheel and rolled at Bomb Kirby. Bomb Kirby tried to float over them, but the wheel then rolled on the ceiling and ran Bomb Kirby over from behind and above. It was about to roll Bomb Kirby over again, but Mario jumped in the way, held Marco's sword out sideways, and blocked the spinning wheel from running Bomb Kirby over again. As hard as Hyness tried, he couldn't get past Marco's sword and it caused the wheel to disband. The three Mage Sisters scattered across the room while Hyness was spinning his head while looking at the pretty stars. Mario and Bomb Kirby took this opportunity to attack with a swing from Marco's sword and a large bomb that Bomb Kirby created. This knocked Hyness to the ground and at the base of the stairs.

Hyness- Youuuuu…How could you defeat me…THE Lord Hyness…

Hyness struggled to get back up as he limped up the stairs and towards the Jamba Heart.

King DeDeDe- Uh…what's he doing?

Mario- He shouldn't be able to move wounds that bad on his body.

Hyness- An offering to out Dark Lord…Perhaps if there is…an offering…

Bomb Kirby- I'm not liking the sound of this…

Hyness- Only one option remains…

Then the Mage Sister rose up into the air while still looking like all the life was drained from them.

Hyness- Those who harbor the greatest of magic, I call upon you…

Then Hyness threw all three of them into the Jamba Heart to make it more complete. And the worst part was, it appeared to be working.

Hyness- Make it so…Accept my aid…I pledge myself to you…Dark Lord of Destruction…I do this so that…our Dark Lord…may be rebooooorn…Rise, Destroyer of Worlds…RISE, VOID TERMINA!

Bomb Kirby- Stop! Don't do it!

But before Bomb Kirby could do anything, Hyness then jumps into the Jamba Heart, making it 100% complete. Then the Jamba Heart began to glow with a darn aura as it began to rise into the air.

King DeDeDe- This is not gonna be pleasant, is it?

Then the Divine Terminus began to tremble like an earthquake has struck the place.

Mario- We need to get out of here, and fast!

Bomb Kirby- Warp Star!

Then the Warp Star managed to come to Kirby's call and arrive in front of them.

King DeDeDe- I don't think that puny little magic star of yours can carry all of us out of here!

Kirby- If I was able to upgrade it once with this power…

Then Kirby created a large Friend Heart and used it to transform the Warp Star again.
