Chapter 2: Defeat
Everyone agreed to what Adeline just said, but they realized that defeat is highly possible. Gooey, Rick, and Adeline were taking on Marx. Pitch, Coo, and Kirby were attacking Dark MetaKnight. Dark Matter was fighting Ribbon and Nego. Nightmare was attacking from above with his dark stars and his golems. Soul the Cloud used his bolts to summon monsters such as Sir Kibble, more Squishies, Broom Hatters, Bronto Burts, and Waddle Doos, which were fought by Chuchu and Kine. The squishies just sat there jumping around doing nothing.
Marx was trying to use the side screen bombs and the cactus things on Rick while Adeline fired waves from the wand she drew, Gooey kept eating the bombs and using crash on Marx.
Dark MetaKnight was throwing wave after wave of sword tornadoes and cutters, Kirby inhaled a Sir Kibble and turned into Cutter Kirby, and kept using his cutters. Pitch and Coo flew above and used aerial attacks to no effect.
Dark Matter used his powers to create globs of darkness at Ribbon. Ribbon counterattacked with Nego by shooting little versions of the shards at him while Nego used a Waddle Doo by squeezing him, forcing it to use its beam.
But after several attacks they realized that the cloud was feeding dark energy to them, thus making them quite stronger. After much energy to Dark MetaKnight, he transformed into Dark Paladin with an attack of copying himself intosix copies, and then surrounding them by using a speed hack then kept using rapid slashes into the enemy. Dark Matter turned into Dark Miracle, which was a black version of Miracle Matter but with an attack of which fired all powers at once. Nightmare was becoming a shadow demon known as Sharakkor, which was quite stronger with the new darkness pulse he had learned. Marx became a mirror creature that summonedseventeen mirrors that surrounded the friends that he could teleport between and could not be harmed unless the mirrors were destroyed.
After seeing what they could do, the group decided to retreat because they had no where near enough power to take them on. So they fled.
After escaping from the dark veil that covered the town, they decided that they have at least seventeen hours before they became unstoppable because over time they would get much stronger. The only tactic they could use is to search for new people to join their cause: to stop the Soul from enveloping the planet, the last defense of the universe.
They would split intothree groups: Ribbon, Adeline, and Kirby on one, Pitch, Coo, and Gooey on another, and Nego, Rick, Chuchu, and Kine on the last. These groups would search far and wide to find the people who were willing to join their cause. They would meet up in Rainbow Resort intwelve hours, prepared for the final battle.
After some rest together as a team, Ribbon and Adeline decided that they, and Kirby, would search the Green Greens for any one to join. They set out at dawn,two hours after the battle. Pitch, Coo, and Gooey would search the cities and villages to the west for any warriors. Nego, Rick, Chuchu, and Kine were to search the tropical islands as well as the nearby castle of King Dedede, who was famous for his guards. Onlyten hours remain.
