Chapter 53 – Resurrections & The Final Goodbye
*BACK TO NORMAL POV*
"*moan* What…What happened?"
"Hey, everyone! She's waking up!" I heard a voice near me.
"A-Arle?"
"Yep. And Carby, too."
"Gu gu gu!"
"Thank goodness you're okay, Am. You had us worried for a second."
"R-Ringo?"
"Of course, she pulled through. All she did was pass out. Nothing compared to what she went through before."
"R-Raffina?"
I sat up from the bed I was laying on and saw the three girls I mentioned plus a few others. All pretty relieved that I had woken up.
"I-It this…"
"You're in Primp Magic School, Amitie." Ms. Accord said.
"Specifically, the nurse's office, meow." Popoi added.
"Woah. The school…i-it's not pouring water anymore."
"That's because it has reverted back to its original state. Along with most of Primp Town at this point." Adeleine said.
"And the sky's back to its normal blue color as well." Lidelle added.
"Wait, it did?! S-So that means…"
"Poyo poyo. Poyo poyo poyo!"
"Get really real…WE DEFEATED ZERO! AWESOME!" I cheered as I stood off from the bed. The injuries I had gotten from past fights seemed to be gone as well.
"WE DID IT, KIRBY! THE FOUR OF US ACTUALLY DID IT! YOU, ME GOOEY, AND RI…"
That's when I stopped cheering and looked around the room. and noticed the Rivitie was nowhere to be found.
"H-Hey…where did Ri…Amitwo go?"
"She left, Ammy." Mom said to me.
"Wh-What?! Mom, what did you say to her now?!"
"N-Nothing ill-tempered!" Mom then looked away from me while folding her arms. "I-I actually…apologized to her."
"Y-You did?"
"Yes. It was pretty heart-warming. A first in my eyes." Ms. Accord said.
"And it was also fun to see Melody-senpai stutter her words for once in my friendship with her." Lily added.
"Oh, yes. That was pretty funny." Yumi said.
"I nearly laughed a couple times. Don't know how I managed to hold it for that long." Rulue said.
"Tch! Y-You four are NOT helping!" Mom yelled with a faint blush on her face.
"Wait, how do you guys know Amitwo?" Raffina asked.
Ms. Accord, Lily, Yumi, and Rulue turned to face Mom. Who looked away from them all in hopes of not telling them what she's kept from me for so long.
"*sigh* Fine, Mom. I'll tell them." I said. Completely annoyed.
"Tell us what?"
I took a deep breath before revealing…pretty much the biggest secret I've ever heard in my life. Which is really fitting, when you think about it.
"Well, you see…Dark Red Amitie, given the nickname Amitwo…her real name is actually Rivitie Rose. My twin sister."
…
…
…
"WHAT?! Y-YOUR TWIN SISTER?!" Nearly everyone shouted.
"Surprise…" Mom said sarcastically.
"Woah! So this whole time, we were dealing with your twin sister?!" Misuki asked.
"Yeah, pretty much. Mom kept it a secret from me for all these years. And in addition to some other things she did, it made Rivitie fuel up with rage. Enough to…basically cause all this in the first place."
"Woah…" Ringo said in amazement.
"Damnit, Melody! This was all your fault!" Raffina yelled.
"I said I was sorry, okay?! I had my reasons for sealing Rivitie inside Ammy's hat!"
Mom then went silent for a bit.
"Reasons you wouldn't understand."
And very few people understood what she meant by that. So I suggested that we let it go for now.
"So where is everyone else?" I asked.
"Everyone's doing their best to fix the damage the attack did to Primp." Raffina said. Then went to dead silence. "Well…almost everyone."
"Oh, yeah. How's Sig pulling through?" Arle asked.
"Not good. He's still really depressed."
"Poor Sig. I can't imagine what he's going through right now." Lidelle said.
"Wait, what? Sig…depressed? Wh-What happened?" I asked.
…
…
"W-Well…" Raffina continued. "Y-You know how we said that Zero has taken so many lives?"
"Yeah. Now that I think about it…it was some of Ribbon's friends and her queen, right?"
"Yes." Ribbon said with a sad look."
"S-Sorry, Ribbon." I said with a little guilt.
"W-Well now…Ch-Chu's one of those people."
It took me a moment to realized what Raffina had just told me. But once I did…
"Wh-What?! Ch-Chu's dead?!"
"From what he told us, she was killed while trying to save his life. And now he hates himself for it. Badly."
"Oh my God! Poor Sig! If only there was some way to bring Chu back! She didn't deserve the fate she got!"
"There just happens to be one…"
"Huh?!"
We all looked at the entrance to the nurse's office to see…someone we didn't really expect.
"S-Satan?!" Arle yelled in shock.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, it is I! The strong, strapping, madcapping monarch of darkness! The gorgeous and sexy! Popular with ladies worldwide with my elegant charm! The ruler of Puyo Hell and the Advent Primp himself! Satan-sama! AT…YOUR…SERVICE!"
"Oh, God. Again?! We don't care!"
"Gu gu. Gu!"
"H-Hey! I wasn't done!"
"YES…YOU…WERE!"
"Does he do this a lot at your house?" Raffina asked Lidelle.
"Yeah, he does. Pretty much every time he comes over to visit."
"Most of them are lies, too. Especially the "gorgeous & sexy" and "popular with all the ladies" parts." Yumi added.
"M-Mother!" Satan yelled.
"Don't listen to them, Darling Satan!" Rulue yelled. "Your gorgeous queen Rulue believes all of those things are true!"
"H-Hello? Rulue-senpai? Please come back to Earth with us."
I honestly don't understand how Yumi is completely okay with the fact that her best friend from high school is madly in love with her son. Doesn't she see the factors on how that's wrong?
…
…
U-Unless…Yumi's older than we think she is. And if that's the case…
…
I-I rather not think about it right now.
"What you even doing here, Satan?" Arle asked.
"Well, like I said. I'm here to offer my services to my precious little Arly and sweet Carbunny. And by that, I mean there is a way to bring Chu back."
"TH-THERE IS?!" We shouted.
"We just need to use this Fountain of Dreams place that came from this other world. And with a few modifications, we can bring all of the dead back to life. Plain and simple."
"ALL of the dead?!"
"Well…at least that's what that Meta Knight guy told me."
"So we can bring Chu back?!" I asked.
"Indeed."
"And the people of my home planet?!" Ribbon asked.
"Indeed as well."
"Wow! Thanks a bunch, Satan!" Arle cheered. "This is probably the only thing you've ever done in your life that isn't annoying and stupid!"
"Gu gu gugu!"
"Again! Hey!" Lidelle grew offended.
"Great!" I cheered. "I'll go grab Sig and meet you guys there! Let's go, Kirby!"
"Poyo!"
I thought finding Sig would be an easy task. But it proved to be difficult this time around. He wasn't at his usual spot, being near Nahe Forest looking for bugs to catch. So Kirby and I kept looking and looking.
Until we finally found him on the outskirts of town. Crying to himself in a lonely field. Peruvis was with him too. Trying to comfort him as much as she could.
"Sig, come on. It's not your fault."
"*sniff* Yes, it is! I was supposed to protect her! And I couldn't do that! and now she's gone! I'm a terrible big brother! And a horrible demon boy!"
And from the looks of it, she wasn't having much luck.
Aw, geez. Poor Sig. He's really taking it hard.
"Sig." I called out. Gaining the duo's attention.
"Amitie. You're awake." Peruvis said.
"*sniff* Oh. Hey, Ammy. Hey, pink friend of Ammy."
"His name's Kirby, Sig." I said.
"Oh." His classic response to everything was less nonchalant and more depressed. Making it even more obvious that he was feeling down.
"Sig, I know how much you miss Chu. We all do. But we know a way to bring her back!"
"What?"
"Geez. That's so cruel of you, Amitie. Making up such a lie like that just to make him happy." Phoenix said as he came out of Peruvis' back.
"It's not a lie! Satan actually told us how to do it! we just need to go to this place called the Fountain of Dreams and go from there!"
"The Fountain of Dreams?" All three asked.
"It's a place from Kirby's world. It fused with the school and is still above it."
"Huh."
"So come on, Sig. Please? Trust us. We know what to do."
Sig took a moment to think this over. I know that it may sound unbelievable to him. But I know in my heart that his love & care for his little sister would erase that thought from his head.
"Okay, Ammy. I'll go."
"Yay!" I cheered as I high-fived Kirby.
"*sigh* Aw, what the hell. I'll go, too." Peruvis said. "I'm curious to see this "Dream Fountain" you're talking about.
"It's The Fountain of Dreams, you idiot." Phoenix said.
"How am I an idiot?! You've never heard of it either!"
"Yeah, but at least I was paying attention. I bet you were thinking of what dirty novel to read tonight, huh?"
" N-No! A-And what do you know?!"
"I know that I'm not a pervert."
"Tch! Why you damn little wisp…"
"Poyo poyo poyo?" Kirby asked me as we watched the two bicker at each other.
"Yeah, it's normal. They do this all the time, despite being friends."
"Poyo poyo poyo poyo poyo?"
"No one really knows, little buddy." I replied with an exasperated look.
Dreamy Water Reservoir – Fountain of Dreams
We brought Sig and Peruvis over to the Fountain of Dreams where everyone was waiting. They couldn't really believe what they were seeing. And like them, I couldn't either.
"Damn, this place is beautiful!" Peruvis yelled.
"It really is." Sig said. "Is this really from that other world you went to, Ammy?"
"Yep! Sure is! I wish you guys were there with us. The entire place was beautiful."
"Whoa…" The two friends said.
"Hey, guys. You're back." Ringo said.
"We're just about to start." Adeleine added.
"Great! Just in time, too!" I cheered.
"Poyo!"
"W-Will this…really bring Chu back?" Sig asked. Looking a bit uneasy about this process.
"Don't worry, Sig." Lidelle said. "Satan has this all figured out."
"Indeed, I have." Satan said. "The process is very simple and safe to do. But we do need one last thing, though. The essence of an Eternal Soul."
"Th-The essence of an Eternal Soul?" I asked. "B-But the only one we have is…"
"Guys…it's okay."
We turned behind us to see Yu, Rei, Jarne, and Chilly walking up to us. With Yu having a sad look on her face while Rei…well…it's Rei. You don't expect much emotion out of him.
"Yu? Wh-What are you…"
"I mean it's okay. You can use my Eternal Soul."
"HUH?!"
"W-Wait a second, Yu! Th-That means you'll be a human forever!" Arle yelled.
"You're seriously okay with that?!" Raffina asked.
"Well…to be honest…no. There were some horrible things that happened to me when I was alive and being human again makes me remember them all. Which is why I desperately wanted to become a ghost again. But after hearing about what happened to Chu, and how Sig is miserable without her, I-I did some thinking…
…
…A-And decided to give it up. Chu deserves to be alive way more than I deserve to be dead. Especially after what she went through."
"W-Wow. Yu…" I said.
"I can't even imagine how difficult of a decision that must've been." Adeleine said.
"You have no idea."
"It's okay, Yu." Jarne said. "Just like all those years ago, I'll be right at your side through it all. Me and Rei both. Right, Rei?"
"Yeah." Rei said.
"*sigh* Thanks, you two."
"*sniff* Yu. Th-Thank you so much!" Sig started crying as he hugged Yu out of gratefulness.
"H-Hey, wait a sec! D-Don't just hug me out of nowhere! I-I'm starting to feel weird inside!" Yu started to blush.
"That's an emotion, Yu. You're embarrassed right now." Jarne said to her.
"E-Embarrassed?! Th-This is what humans feel?! *whine* This is going to be hard to get used to!"
"You know you look really cute when you blush like that." Rei said.
"Rei! You're not helping!"
"Well, then." Satan said. "With that out of the way… TIME FOR THE DASHING DARK PRINCE TO WORK HIS MAGIC! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Don't make this all about you." Lidelle said. But was completely ignored.
With all four parts of Yu's Eternal Soul given to him, Satan threw them inside the fountain. The water then began to glow a white light as bubbles started to form.
Then in an instant, multiple balls of water started shooting out of the fountain and into the sky. Disappearing once they got high enough. We didn't know what had happened. Until one of the water balls came back down and landed in front of us. Revealing a person we haven't seen in a short while.
And an important friend of Ribbon.
"*moan* Wh-What? A-Am I…alive?"
"Celeste!"
"R-Ribbon?! I-Is that really you?! A-Am I really alive?!"
"Yes! We used the Fountain of Dreams to bring you back from the dead!"
"And from the looks of it, the entire population of Ripple Star as well." Adeleine added.
"Woah…wait, so does that mean…"
"Yes, Celeste. We defeated Zero. It's gone for good and won't threaten us ever again."
"Oh, my…we're free. We're finally free! No more having to worry about being consumed into darkness ever again! Thank you, everyone! You truly are heroes!"
"*giggle* Don't mention it." I said while (figuratively) patting myself on the back.
"Uh, guys. The water's still bubbling." Ringo said.
Soon after, another water ball shot out of the fountain and landed in front of us. This time, revealing someone that was our main reason for doing this.
And it couldn't have made Sig any happier.
"*cough* *cough* *cough* Ouchie. Wh-What happened?"
"N-No way…" Phoenix said.
"I-It actually worked." Peruvis said. "I-It really is her."
"CHU!"
"SHIGU!"
The two siblings rushed over and hugged each other as tight as they can possibly could. And cried extremely heavy tears as they were finally reunited.
"Chu! I'm sorry for letting you die! I should've done better to protect you! You don't know how much you mean to me! I love you, Chu!"
"I love you too, Shigu! Thank you for bringing me back!"
Everyone else watched as they tried not to shed a tear at this wonderful reunion.
It's good to see Sig happy again. Hopefully, I can be happy with him too someday.
…
If I…ever get the courage to.
A few hours had passed by and it was now nighttime. Dream Land and Primp Town were finally 100% separated. And now came the hardest thing we always had to do when stuff like this happens.
Saying goodbye.
"Alright. Everything's all set up and ready. We just have enough time to say our final goodbyes." Magolor said as he came out of the Lor Starcutter after pinpointing a way back to Dream Land.
"*sigh* So this is it, huh?" I asked.
"We're actually going our separate ways." Arle said.
"Despite all the illogical things we've witnessed throughout our time there, I really had fun." Ringo said.
"Me too." Maguro said. "I'm especially going to miss that resort place. The games there were so fun that I managed to beat all of the high scores."
"*surprised grunt* Dedede was shocked to learn the identity of the person that had beaten all of his high scores at his resort.
"Oh, right. Sorry about that, your majesty."
"I still think you cheated."
"Will you just let it go already?" I said to Marx.
"My time in Dream Land was pretty fun, as well. A-Aside from being stuck on that lava planet." Lidelle said.
"It was nice to be around you, Lidelle. Having someone who shares my interest was really fun." Ribbon said.
"Oh yes, Ribbon. It truly was fun. *giggle*"
"Aw, man. It sucks that you have to go, Chilly." Yu said.
"It was fun." Rei added.
"Chilly Chilly."
"Seeing you go is going to be really hard. So much, that I'm actually having water form in my eyes. Why is that?"
"Those are tears of sadness, Yu. It means you're sad that Chilly is leaving." Arle explained.
"Humans cry when they're sad?! Ugh! This is really going to be difficult to go through. How do you people live through this?"
"Why do I get the feeling that I should be offended by that?" Adeleine asked.
"You're not alone, Adeleine." The rest of us humans replied.
"And so, a great ally is leaving my side. It was a fateful meeting was it not, Meta Knight?" Schezo asked.
"Indeed it was, Schezo. A skilled swordsman who can match my own power. If only we had time to put them both to the test."
"Agreed. Though, my dark magic would've rubbed you down of all you had and made you relax in defeat."
"WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WHAT?!" Those of us who understood it (which wasn't much) shouted with blushed cheeks of embarrassment.
*BONK*
"Ow!"
"Seriously! What is wrong with you, pervert?!" Misuki yelled after hitting Schezo in the head with her broom.
"DO. NOT. CALL. ME. A. PERVERT!"
"I still do not understand was the fuss is about." Meta Knight said.
"I-It's best that you didn't." Adeleine said with a sweatdrop.
"Last call, everyone." Magolor said.
"Oh, right. *clears throat* It was nice to meet all of you. We'll really miss you guys."
"*whine* It's going to feel so different without you guys there!" Ribbon began to cry.
"Thank you again for returning Kirby to our world. I feel like none of this would've happened if he was stuck here forever." Bandana-Dee wrote on his board one last time.
"Yeah, it was a blast." Raffina said.
"I can probably write this as my summer break essay. I'll get an A for sure." Ringo said.
"I really had fun. I just wish you were there with me, Carby." Arle said.
"Gu gu gu gu."
"*giggle* Alright. Next time we go to a different world, I'll bring you along. That a deal?"
"Gu!"
While everyone said their final goodbyes, I stayed silent. I was trying to make myself feel better on saying goodbye to Kirby. But the fact that I'll never see him again is really making it difficult.
Why does it have to be this way?
"Ammy?"
"*sniff* I-I'm okay, Misuki. I-It's just…w-well…"
"Yeah. I know."
"It's hard for us, too." Arle added.
I then looked over to Kirby, who had the same sad look as I did. It must be hard for him as well. Poor guy.
"*sigh* I-I…I guess this is it, little buddy. From this point onward, we'll be in two different worlds."
"Poyo…"
"But…But I won't be sad forever. I know that if I have you deep in my mind, the memories of our time together will never go away. And I'm sure that you feel the same way, right?"
"Poyo! Poyo poyo!"
I wiped my tears away from my eyes as I prepared to say my final goodbye to my best friend.
"G…Goodbye, Kirby. I'll miss you."
"Poyo poyo…Amitie."
That's when everyone around the area grew shocked as to what we just heard.
"N-No way!" Adeleine yelled.
"D-Did he just…" Ringo said.
"He said my name!" I cheered with glee.
"Amitie." And then he said it again. Which really made me happy.
"You were working on that for a while, weren't you?" Magolor asked him.
"Poyo!"
I nearly cried full tears once I heard that. To think that Kirby practiced saying my name, let alone any kind of word that wasn't "poyo", was the most touching thing anyone has ever done for me. I've never felt so happy in my life.
"*sniff* Thank you. Kirby." Was all I said.
"Alright. Time to go." Magolor said before went inside the ship. Soon the other followed him inside. And the Lor Starcutter rose up from the ground prepared to blast off.
But not before one last thing was said. And from both sides, too.
"Bye, everyone! We'll never forget you!" Adeleine and Ribbon shouted.
"Poyo!"
Bandana-Dee waved greatly as his way of saying goodbye.
"We'll always remember you, too! Goodbye, everyone!" Arle, Ringo, Raffina, and I shouted back.
That was when a star-shaped portal had appeared in the starry-night sky. And the Lor Starcutter flew straight inside at lightning speed. Permanently separating the two worlds forever.
It was hard to watch, yes. But like I said before…as long as I have the memories in my mind, it'll feel like he's right here with me.
Goodbye, Kirby. Legendary Star Warrior.
And my best buddy, too.
Epilogue
"Mom! I'm back!"
"H-Huh? Oh. Hey,*yawn* Ammy."
"Were you sleeping this whole time? I thought you were helping clean up town."
"I was. But then I came here to grab something. And ended up fallen asleep on the couch."
"What were you looking for?"
…
…
"You know…I actually forgot."
"*sigh* Of course, you did." I said with a facepalm. "Well, whatever. I'm going to go take a bath. I could sure use one after all I did."
Plus I need to get this blood out of my hair.
"Oh, Ammy. Hold on. You got a letter."
"Huh? From who? I don't get any mail."
"It's from Rivitie."
"R-Really?! Gimme!" I yelled as I took the letter from Mom's hands.
"Sheesh. You don't have to be so demanding. What does it say, anyway?"
"Hold on. I'm reading it."
The letter said:
Hey, you two.
You're probably wondering why I left shortly after the battle with Zero, huh? Well…I had some things to take care of.
And by "some", I mean only one thing. Destroy the Legend of the Red Puyo Hat. I wiped it out of existence and thus out of people's minds.
Well…most of them. Only you two and myself still remember it. Although, your friends still remember that they were cloned. How can they not?
This also means that you are no longer the Light Soul. And that the Copy Abilities you gained are all gone. And replaced with your old spells.
I did this so that no one else would have to deal with this so-called legend. It did nothing but caused pain inside me. And eventually into you.
And with that, helping you beat Zero, and the multiple apologizes I've given, you better be grateful for what I did.
As to why I haven't returned yet…
…
That's something I cannot say right now.
But I'll be back. Whenever I feel like it. So don't you dare forget about me again. I'll never forgive you if you do.
From,
Rivitie "Amitwo" Rose
P.S. Thanks for being there for me. I appreciate it…Sis.
"Woah…" I said.
"It's like she put her heart into it. Despite it being filled with hate for so long." Mom said.
"Yeah…" I looked over the letter again to see if I missed anything. Once that was cleared, I folded the paper and placed it in my pocket. Satisfied with what I read.
"Do you really think Rivitie will come back, Mom?" I asked.
"Well…knowing that girl's way of thinking, it'll probably be a long time before we do. But I'm sure we will. Let's just give her the space for a while."
"Ooh! Christmas is next month! Maybe she'll come then!"
"You're not getting the point." Mom said with a sweatdrop.
"Aw, whatever. I'm going to take my bath now. Ms. Accord said that school starts back up again tomorrow. So I'll need to look and smell good."
"Geez. Going back already? Harmony sure doesn't play around when it comes to education."
"Makes me wonder how she managed to get you to do it."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Mom sounded insulted.
"*giggle* Nothing, Mom." I said as I headed to my room to get my pj's for my bath.
Once there, I took Rivitie's note from my pocket and placed it on my desk. Planning to frame it at a later date.
But that's when I noticed something shiny on my bed. And when I went to grab it, I was shocked to see what it was.
"This…This is a Crystal Shard! H-How did it…"
"RAAAWWWGGGHH!"
I then heard a noise outside. And looked out my window to see a white ball of light flying across the night sky before disappearing. The only white thing that sounded familiar to me that made that sound was…
…
I was then able to put two and two together. And smiled as I held the shard tightly in my hand.
"I'll treasure this thing forever." I whispered to myself before closing my window. And went back to preparing for my bath tonight, school tomorrow…
…And whatever wicked stuff life decides to throw at me. And I'll be ready for it all!
Watch me now!
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's done. It's finally done! Puyo Puyo: Dream Land Invasion is finally completed! And after just a little over 11 months, too!
This was really fun for me to write. As I really want a Puyo Puyo X Kirby game. (Although, I want a Puyo Puyo X Sonic game even more and let's be honest, that seems more likely.) But I'm really surprised that so many people liked the idea. Even people who've played Kirby and don't know a thing about Puyo Puyo.
I'd like to thank all of you for reading along and enjoying the story. And a special thanks to kirbymanx-huskynator. As this story originally started off as an alternate route to his story "Amitie's Journey From off Top of her Head" (A story I highly recommend reading, by the way.) and it just went from there.
So will I write another crossover like this? Eh. Maybe. But not for a while. This story did take a long time to finish and I got other "just Puyo" fics in mind. Look out for them, if you're interested.
And so, for the last time in this story, thank you for reading. I hoped you enjoyed the journey of the Magical Girl and the Legendary Star Warrior. Later.
