Extra Chapter – Return of the Light Soul

Amitie's POV

It's been a little over a year since the events that took place. Meeting Kirby, exploring Dream Land, saving both worlds from my then evil clone/now twin sister and eventually a fallen angel.

And most importantly…finding out that I had these special powers given to me because of my Red Puyo Hat. The powers of the Light Soul…able to store Copy Abilities and use them at one's will.

I'm still shocked, even to this day, that someone like me had such a power.

Then again…it was Mom who created such a power, to begin with. I'm still shocked about that, too.

Since then, the days here in Primp Town have been nothing but normal. I still attend school, work at the museum, and hang out with my friends. Plus, there are the ever-so occasional Puyo battles that are either for fun or decide something that oftentimes makes no sense.

Mostly the latter.

But today…a simple Puyo battle would reveal yet another secret about myself that I had no idea was a thing.

But unlike the others, this secret wasn't dark or confusing…in fact, I welcomed it with open arms.

You'll see what I mean.

"Okay, kiddies. Settle down." Ms. Accord said to us as we were all out in the field behind the school. "Now. As you are all aware, today is your final exam of the semester."

"Was that today?!" I asked in shock. "*whine* I didn't study!"

"When do you ever study, Am?" Ringo asked me.

"Amitie…I was reviewing the material all last week. What were you doing the whole time?"

"Uh…w-well…"

"Knocked out cold as usual, meow."

"P-Popoi!" I blushed with embarrassment.

"Just meowin'."

"Speaking of which…it looked like you were really enjoying those naps, Amitie." Feli said to me. "What were you dreaming about?"

"*giggle* I bet it was about the schlong of a certain boy we know~."

"Wh-What?!" My blushed face grew darker.

*BONK*

"Shut up, you perv." Sig said after hitting Peruvis in the head.

"So, does this mean that you are underprepared, Amitie?" Ms. Accord asked.

"Uh…well…"

"Hmph. Well, that's not a surprise, is it not?" Klug said in a gloat-like tone.

"Can you not be an annoying smartass for just one day?" Raffina asked him.

"Well, that depends, Raffina. Can you not be a raging baboon for one day? Or perhaps longer?"

"What did you call me, you little…"

"Anyway…" Klug then pushed his hand in front of Raffina's face as a way to ignore her. Only that pissed her off even more. "This is nothing new to anyone, Ms. Accord. Amitie never focused on her studies unlike myself. Which explains why she's so freaking weak."

Weak?!

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

"Gah!" I then felt a short but excruciating pain in my head as I kneeled on the grass. Almost like I was going to faint.

"Woah, Amitie! Are you okay?!"

"Gu, gu, gu?!" Arle and Carbuncle asked me.

"You idiot! We told you not to say that!" Raffina yelled at Klug.

"Why? Does it hurt Amitie's feelings or something? It's not my fault that she doesn't just grow up already."

"Wowie…" Raina said. "…Sis was right. You really are a jerk."

"What?"

"Well, actually…she said that you were a goody-two-shoes asshole with no friends whatsoever and is destined to be alone forever. But that was all too hard to remember."

"Excuse me?!"

"Raina…quit repeating the stuff that I say." Raffina gained a sweatdrop from her clone.

"Hmm…correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the result of what took place a year ago, right?" Ms. Accord asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." Arle said. "That word is like a trigger of rage for her. Say it enough times and she'll go absolutely crazy."

"Which is why we told everyone not to say it in front of her." Raffina added. "But I guess some people just don't freaking listen." She then gave a stink eye at Klug.

"Hmph. Why should I watch what I say so that Amitie doesn't have a hissy fit? I shouldn't be considerate of her feelings just because she's weak as hell."

Weak?!

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

"Gaaah!" The pain immediately got worse after hearing that word again. To the point where I was fully laying on the grass. Holding my head as if I banged it on a wall.

"Amitie!"

"Am!"

"Ami!" I heard some of the others yelled out to me.

"Quit saying that, damnit!" Raffina yelled at Klug, whose only response was a simple scoff of "I don't really care".

"Okay, kiddies." I heard Ms. Accord say. "We'll delay the final exam for a little while as Amitie recovers a bit. Meanwhile, I have a few errands to take care of. Please watch over Amitie until then."

"Sure thing." Arle said. "Come on, Amitie."

"Guu gu."

"*moan*" I couldn't say much of anything because of the severe pain in my head. All I could really do was accept the fact that I was being carried somewhere. Probably the nurse's office.

"Ugh. Are you serious? I have to wait to get my perfect score because of Amitie's overreaction to being called we…"

*POW*

"Ow…"

"Like, seriously. Do you EVER shut up?" Misuki asked after hitting Klug in the head with her broom.

Th-Thanks…M-Misuki.


*ONE HOUR LATER…*

"Aw, man. My head." I said as I drank some water while sitting in the nurse's office.

"You okay, Ami?" Misuki asked me.

"Yeah, I should be. It's only a minor headache now. I should be able to go on today."

"Even if you say that, Am…" Ringo went silent for a bit. "…I just can't believe that even a year later the effects of the legend are still happening."

"Didn't Rivitie say that she destroyed it?" Arle asked.

"Well, that's what she said. Though, I'm not entirely sure why I still get angry whenever I hear…that word. It only ever was a problem when I had those powers.

…when I was…the Light Soul."

It was then that the room went dead silent. Remembering such a thing at this moment in time was rather…uncomfortable to a lot of people. Mainly because of the events that took place because of it. Not that it was all bad or anything. I mean, sure. There were some bad stuff here and there.

But…

"Hey, Amitie…do you miss being the Light Soul?" Arle asked me.

"To be completely honest, Arle…yeah. I really do. It might have been a set of dangerous powers for someone like me to have. But for the first time even in my life…I felt so freaking powerful. Like I could take on anything and not lose a single sweat. It felt like I had finally achieved my dream of becoming a wonderful magician. And all the people who ever doubted me could finally shove their hateful words back into their damn mouths."

What I didn't realize was that I was feeling some sort of emotional power running through my body the more I thought of people doubting me, my sense of thinking, and worst of all…people who kept calling me weak.

"*demented giggle* It felt SO FREAKING GOOD! Bringing fear into all that saw me as a weak spineless idiotic kid! Like when I battled Schezo back in Dream Land. The amount of fear and panic on his damn perverted face was a sweet satisfaction that I could NEVER forget! *demented giggle* Oh, how I wish I could keep him like that forever! Just so I can always watch him beg for his worthless perverted lonely life! Hahahahaha!"

"A-Am! Wh-What the hell?!" Ringo yelled in total fear.

"Snap out of it, Ami!"

*BONK*

"Ow…Misuki, why'd you hit me?" I whined after Misuki hit me in the head with her broom.

"Because you were acting weird and saying a bunch of creepy crap! It was totally not like you!"

"Huh? I was?"

"Don't tell me you don't remember, Am." Ringo said.

"I really don't. I must've blanked out or something." I said while holding my head.

"Gu gu gu…"

"It really is a repeat of last time." Arle said.

The others were left mildly confused and creeped out by how I was supposedly acting.

Creepy, huh? I wonder why I suddenly changed.


Another 30 minutes have passed as I was soon back outside with everyone else. They were all worried about me (well, except Klug). But I said that I was doing better now.

For now, I mean.

"Okay, kiddies." Ms. Accord said. "Now that Amitie's feeling better, let's continue with our final exam."

"Ugh. Finally!" Klug said. "Now I can demonstrate to the rest of you what it truly takes to be exemplary! Kyahahahaha!"

"Damn smartass prick…" It was faint, but I managed to hear Raffina, Feli, and Misuki mumble to themselves. As they're the top three people who really can't stand Klug.

And I honestly don't blame them.

"What were those errands you had to do, Teacher?" Lidelle asked.

"Oh, they weren't all that big. I just had to prepare some last-minute things for the exam."

"Last-minute things?"

"Knowing you, it's probably something completely absurd and a waste of our time, right?" Phoenix asked as he came out of Peruvis' back.

"Hush now, Phoenix! You're making baseless accusations, meow!" Popoi yelled.

"Are we done chatting now?" Klug asked. "I would like to perform my final exam already."

"I'm sorry, Klug." Ms. Accord said. "But for this exam, Amitie will be the first one to go."

"Huh?!"

"W-Wait, what?! Wh-Why am I going first?!" I yelled in shock.

"Just a little change of normality, that's all."

"*whine* Now, I really wish I had studied!"

"It's okay, Ami." Misuki said. "Peruvis and I don't study at all and we turned out just fine."

"Yeah, studying's overrated." Peruvis added. "We're doing fine without it."

"Both of you are failing just as hard as me right now." I gained a sweatdrop.

"Ms. Accord, are you truly serious? Do I really have to put MY magical talents on hold and wait for Amitie of all people to finish her exa-mmmph?!"

"You're annoying." Cheri said as she shoved her entire hand into Klug's mouth.

"Cheri…don't shove your hand into people's mouths." Ringo gained a sweatdrop.

"I don't know, Ringo. I think Cheri's hand really suits him." Raffina said with a smirk on her face.

"mmmph?!" Klug yelled in anger (well…tried to. Cheri's hand was still in his mouth).

"*sigh* I might as well get this over with." I said. Giving in to the sudden change in order. "What's the final exam, Ms. Accord?"

"Well, in your case, Amitie…your final exam should be here any minute now."

"Huh?" We were all confused by that statement.

"My final exam…is coming to me?"

"What does that even mean?" Arle asked.

"Gu gu?"

"*giggle* Well…"

And right when Ms. Accord was going to answer, a bright light appeared in front of us all. And out from that light came…a giant golden mirror?

W-Wait a minute…

"A-Amitie…d-doesn't that mirror look familiar to you?" Lidelle asked. As she was the only other person here that could possibly recognize this thing.

"Y-Yeah…i-it really does, Lidelle."

"Wait, you two know what this mirror is?" Feli asked us.

"W-Well…"

"Uh, guys…something's forming inside the mirror." Maguro said.

Inside the mirror was a grey shadowy blob getting bigger and bigger. Soon gaining arms, feet, and bat-like wings. With some kind of sword appearing in the thing's right hand.

This thing…it's starting to look familiar. I think I know who it is…but the only person I know who comes out of mirrors is…

By this time, the shadowy figure had fully formed. And after breaking out of the mirror, it flew up and quickly landed in front of us all.

And it was then that we (well, at least some of us) fully recognized the figure.

"N-No way…" Ringo and Lidelle said.

"I-It can't be…" Raffina and Misuki said.

"H-Holy crap…it's…" Arle said.

"D-Dark Meta Knight?!" I yelled with complete and utter shock.

"*chuckle* It's been a while…Amitie Rose."

"Amitie, you know this guy?" Sig asked.

"H-He's from Dream Land! The other world that fused with this one!"

"Oh…"

You could at least sound A LITTLE shocked by it, Sig!

"M-Ms. Accord! Wh-Why is he here?!" I then asked her.

"Simply put, Amitie…this is your final exam."

"Huh?!" We all yelled in shock.

"Those events earlier…it had me thinking of what took place a year ago. And of course, the Legend itself."

"Th…Th-The Legend?"

But that's been proven to be a lie. Mom even said so. And not only that, Rivitie destroyed the effects of it once everything was over.

I'm no longer the Light Soul.

Unless…

"S-So, what does this have to do with Dark Meta Knight being here?"

"Why, it's very simple, Amitie. If you can defeat Dark Meta Knight, you pass your final exam."

"H-HUH?! We all shouted again.

"Surely, you didn't forget about our rematch, Amitie." Dark Meta Knight said.

"Rematch?" I then went silent for a bit. As I thought to myself the exact same words he said to me the first time we met.

"I hope we get to battle again, Amitie. Next time will be a real fight."

And then silently giggled to myself.

"So, that's what it is, huh? Well then, if that's the case, then I'll totally take you on! I've beaten you once and I'll do it again!"

"Alright, Am!"

"Go, Ami!"

"You can do it, Amitie!"

These were some of the cheers I got from accepting the challenge.

"*chuckle* Finally. I've waited a full year for this moment. Now, it's time to truly see if you're worthy of being the Light Soul."

"Heh. I'll do that and a hell of a lot more. Let's…"

"PUYO BATTLE!" We both shouted with sheer determination. It was then that I began my long-awaited rematch with a fierce rival.

And to see if I truly still have those same powers.


REMATCH: Vs. Dark Meta Knight


The long-awaited Puyo battle rematch went underway as puyos of all five colors began falling into play. Both of us began stacking the multi-colored blobs as fast as we can to be the first to set off.

And honestly…doing this once more…battling against someone from a different world…it was bringing back some pretty intense memories. Intense…but also really precious.

This feeling…I haven't felt this excited about a puyo battle since all that time in Dream Land over one year ago. This thrill of excitement rushing through my body is something I truly missed all this time.

It's…

It's…

It's so…EXHILARATING! *demented giggle*

"Hmm…you seem about ready, Amitie. Have at me!" Dark Meta Knight said.

"Oh, believe me. I'm MORE than ready. *demented giggle*"


Arle's POV

"Uh…hey, guys. Did Amitie's personality suddenly change just now?" Raffina asked us as we continued to watch the sudden match unfold right in front of us.

"Yeah…it did, honestly." Ringo said.

"It's kinda like how it was earlier." I added.

"You mean it happened before?"

"It was when she got that headache earlier. Shortly after she woke up, she started remembering that fight with Schezo back in Dream Land. Back when she was the Light Soul."

"The Light Soul?" Raffina when silent for a bit. "Okay…I'm getting a bad feeling about this whole thing."

"You're not the only one, Raffina…" Ringo and I said.


Amitie's POV

"Alright! Let's go! I can't wait to bury you in Garbage Puyo once more!" I yelled out before I set off my puyo chain.

"Flame!"

"Cyclone!"

"Tempest!"

"Fairy Fire!"

"Luminescence!"

It was a huge 7-chain right off the bat. I've gotten better at it in the year since we last battled. So much so that I'm able to get A-ranks every one-in-a-while. It isn't the best…but it should be enough to finish off Dark Meta Knight.

Or…so I thought.

"Come to me now…Sizzle!"

Suddenly, we saw Dark Meta Knight's sword glow a bright light. It then started morphing its shape into more of a wavy shape. And then…And then it caught on fire?!

"Dark Drill!"

"Dark Spiral!"

"Meteor Edge!"

"Triple Thrust!"

"Darkness Illusion!"

And then what was more insane was that his attacks all had FIRE coming out of them! And I mean ACTUAL fire! So, not only did I get a huge pile of garbage puyo thrown back at me but I almost got burned, too!

Wh-What the hell?! Fire swords?! He wasn't able to do that before! What did he do to get THAT kind of power in just a little over a year?!

And how am I going to beat it?


Ringo's POV

"W-Were those flaming swords just now?!" I yelled in shock.

"Not only that, but the attacks also blasted out fire!" Arle yelled.

"N-No way…b-but how…?!" Am said with the little energy she had from the earlier attack.

"*chuckle* You're not the only one who's gained a new power, Amitie."

"What do you mean by that?!" Raffina asked.

"Recently…Magolor discovered a new advancement of the Copy Abilities. To which a weapon ability can fuse with an elemental ability to manipulate their move sets. And become stronger than their original state.

These new fusions became known as…Friend Abilities."

"Friend Abilities?" Klug scoffed. "Heh. Such a childish name for a power THAT useful. I've would've given it a name more deserving of its kind."

"Oh, please." Feli said to him. "You're just saying that because you have no friends."

"Wh-What?! I do TO have friends!"

"Oh, really? Who, then?"

"For one, Sig!"

"Huh? What were we talking about?" Sig asked as he was woken up from another one of his narcoleptic naps.

"Klug was just saying that you were his friend." Peruvis said.

"Oh…" This was all Sig said before going back to sleep. Almost like nothing ever happened.

"SIG! HELP ME OUT HERE!" Klug yelled.

"Anyway…" I said while turning to Dark Meta Knight. "…if Magolor was the one who discovered these Friend Abilities, then how did you get your hands on one?"

"After the events of Zero, many routes to the Mirror World were created in Dream Land as an effect of the fusion. Giving me free will to travel between the two worlds. It was during such a travel that I became aware of the discovery. And grabbed such an ability for my own benefits."

"I see…so, that explains it."

"But it doesn't explain how you got here!" Witch yelled. "All connections between Primp and Dream Land have closed off a year ago!"

"Oh, that." Ms. Accord said. "I managed to pull a few strings for this. *giggle*"

"You're kidding…" Am, Arle, Raffina, Lidelle, Witch, and I each grew a sweatdrop.

This teacher is seriously not normal…

"So…with all of that said…let us resume the battle, Amitie!" Dark Meta Knight said as he pointed his flaming sword at her.

"Tch! *pant* E-Even if…y-you have that new power *pant*…I-I'll still…I'll still…I'll still crush you whole~! *demented giggle*"

"That does not sound good…" Arle and I said with worried looks.


Amitie's POV

I soon began re-stacking my puyo wall. This time being more determined than ever to defeat my greatest rival. Even with this new power of his making the battle fully against me.

"Flame!"

"Cyclone!"

"Accelerate~!"

"T-Tempest~!"

"Fairy Fire~!"

"Luminescence~!"

I set off another 7-chain. This time adding a bit of extra power in the mix. If he can get more power in an instant, then so can I!

"Come to me now…Blizzard!"

At this point, Dark Meta Knight's sword was glowing and morphing again. This time taking the shape of a long shard of ice. With tiny snowflakes flowing around it.

No way…he has ANOTHER Friend Ability?!

"Dark Calibur!" He called out as he began charging up his now icy sword. Then, as he flung it upward, a huge stream of ice scattered in a straight line towards me. And soon trapping me by my hands and feet in ice. Leaving me no other choice but to fall to the frozen floor.

"Amitie!"

"Am!"

"Ami!"

I heard the panicked cries of the others as they witnessed the attack striking me down. I really couldn't move. This ice was super strong no matter how hard I struggled. And the rapid garbage puyo raining down on me was making my energy drain even faster.

"*chuckle* The game is over…Amitie Rose." Dark Meta Knight gloated as he pointed his ice sword at me.

N-No…th-this can't be…th-the end…

"So, Amitie lost. Gee, that's predictable."

"Will you shut up already?!" Misuki yelled at Klug.

"Why? I already stated that I had no interest in watching Amitie fight this guy knowing how weak she is."

Weak?!

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

"Gaaah…" My head suddenly started hurting again.

"Klug!" Arle, Ringo, Raffina, and Misuki yelled at him.

"So…you still get affected by that word. Which means you haven't improved at all."

"Wh-What do you…m-mean by that?" I asked Dark Meta Knight.

"I mean…after all you have been through…traveling to a different world, acquiring lots of new powers, and saving two worlds from destruction…if you're still getting angry over being called weak, even after all of that, then it means that this battle was truly a waste of my time.

And that you truly are weak…Amitie Rose."

"Oh, great! Now, he's gone and said it!" Raffina yelled.

"Weak…weak…Dark Meta Knight…called me weak…*demented giggle* *more demented giggling* *insane laughter*"

"A…A-Amitie…" Arle said as she and everyone else were highly creeped out by my sudden laughter.

By then, I started feeling some sort of strange power running through my body. Flowing through my veins and reaching to my brain. Which made the headaches even worse.

But for some reason…this strange power felt really good. As if a huge surge was powering up my soul. To the point where it exceeded the capacity of my own body.

And it also…felt strangely familiar.

"So~…you actually have the balls to call me weak~. As expected from someone like you~."

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

"You truly believed that you could just show up here and challenge me without a care in the world~…cocky enough to see this as an easy victory~. Ain't that right~?"

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

"Well~…I'm gonna make you regret everything~. And make you live~…A SOULLESS NIGHTMARE~!"

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

At this point, the power was overflowing. I couldn't hold it in much longer. I had no choice but to release it out of my body. And let my soul be consumed into its control.

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

*HEARTBEAT SOUND*

*RAPID HEARTBEAT SOUND*

And so…accepting whatever happens next…I said:

"Come to me now~! LIGHT SOUL~!"

*CRACK*

"GAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!"


Witch's POV

Wh-What the…Wh-What is this?! Why did Ami's personality change into a more violent one?! Why is there a rainbow vortex spinning around her?! Why did she say "come to me, Light Soul!" before this happened?! WH-WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

As we all stood there and bared witness to the unexplainable horror that was unfolding in front of us, some of us were unable to move. Too confused and ultimately scared to even move from the danger that was bound to be real.

And when I say "some", I mean only me.

"Witch…Witch…Witch! Will you get over here already!" I suddenly felt a huge tug on my arm as I was being pulled into a nearby corner. It was then that I realized that the tugging came from Raffina.

"Geez! Are you trying to get killed out there?!"

"S-Sorry. It's just…" I then peaked around the corner to look at my best friend once more. "…wh-what the hell is happening to Ami?"

"As if I know. All I'm getting is that she started acting weird when Klug called her weak the first time around. And then he had to go and make it worse along with Dark Meta Knight." Raffina then went silent for a bit. "Speaking of which…where is he, anyway?"

We both then took a peek around the corner to see the dark swordsman still standing in front of the rainbow vortex. Not moving an inch as it continued to engulfed Ami.

"H-He's just…standing there?" I asked. "Wh-What for?"

"Hmm…I hate to say this, but I'm starting to think this was all planned from the start."

"THIS was planned?! How?! And to what extent?!"

"I don't have a clue. But I'm pretty sure I know who does. Come on."

Raffina and I then headed our way to where some of the others were. And guessing from how Arle and Ringo were talking to Ms. Accord in a rather upset mood, I figured that they had the same idea as Raffina did.

"Ms. Accord! What is going on?!" Arle yelled.

"What's happening to Am right now… it was all completely planned, wasn't it?!" Ringo yelled.

"Arle…Ringo…please calm down. I understand that you are rather upset at the situation. But Amitie should be fine…I-I think."

"You THINK?!"

"Ms. Accord. Why even go through with this in the first place?" I asked.

"Well, you see…recently, we discovered something about Amitie that was rather hard to ignore. And could be super dangerous if not treated right away."

"Dangerous?" We asked.

"Basically…the Legend of the Red Puyo Hat is still active."

"Wh-What?!"

"B-But how?!" Arle asked. "Didn't Rivitie destroy it once everything was back to normal?!"

"That's what we all believed. But…whether it be that someone brought it back to life or Rivitie never destroyed it like she said…the essence of the Red Puyo Hat still flows inside Amitie's soul. And it's been growing worse over time."

"Overtime?" Ringo asked.

"Surely you all have noticed Amitie's cheerful personality slowly deteriorating, right?"

"Huh? Well…there was what happened this morning."

"It's been happening longer than that?" Arle asked.

"I surely haven't noticed." Raffina said.

"W-Well…"

"Witch…" Arle said as everyone turned to me.

"T-To be honest…this has been going on for the past month."

"A month?! Why are you NOW bringing this up?!"

"I-I'm sorry, okay?! It's just…" I went silent for a bit. "…when it first started happening, we just brushed it off like it never happened. But as it kept happening…to where Ami would talk as if she had completely lost her sanity…it was starting to become hard to ignore."

"Did you at least tell Amitie about it?" Raffina asked.

"I did, but…whenever I would talk to her about it, she says she doesn't remember. As if her going insane like that was completely wiped from her memory. It was weird."

"I see…" Ms. Accord said. "…and you said that this has been happening for about a month?"

"It happened 8 times. Each one was caused by being constantly reminded of how…"lacking" she is when it comes to power. To put it in another term."

"So, she really takes the insults personally…" Lidelle said.

"Who wouldn't?" Feli said. "I would feel the same way if I was constantly berated for being lackluster."

"You see, Klug? This is what happens when you keep being a smartass prick to people." Raffina said to him.

"H-Hold on a second! You can't solely put the blame on me!"

"For once, he's right." I said. "Schezo, Satan, freaking Doppel…tons of people around here look down on Ami because of how she normally is. And with that…mixed with the emotions she gains from the Legend…you could say that she finally snapped."

"Wowie…poor Amitie." Raina said.

"Isn't there a way to fix her?" Peruvis asked.

"There is, meow." Popoi said. "That's why Dark Meta Knight is here, meow."

"Seriously?!" Arle, Ringo, Raffina, and I said in shock.

"This sudden rematch was his idea." Ms. Accord said. "He said that since the essence of the Red Puyo Hat is fused with Amitie's soul, she now has to tame it and keep it under control. Becoming the Light Soul once more."

"Becoming…the Light Soul…?" I went silent as I held my head low.

If that really makes Ami back to her normal self…

"Uh…guys. Amitie's out of that vortex." Maguro said.

"Sh-She is?!" I shouted as we all looked around the corner. And true to what he said, there was Ami. Completely out of the rainbow vortex. Now covered from head to toe in a rainbow-like aura and in the exact same clothes she wore when she first became the Light Soul.

W-Woah…Ami…

"I'll make you pay~…I'll make you ALL pay~! I'll force every last one of you into a soulless nightmare~! I'LL KILL YOU ALL FOR CALLING ME WEAK~!"

"W-Woah…" Sig said.

"H-Holy crap…" Peruvis said.

"D-Damn…even I'm scared of Amitie right now." Phoenix added.

"Th-This is…Amitie's Light Soul power?" Klug asked. "N-Never did I think that it would be so…t-terrifying."

"A-At least we can agree on something, Klug…" Feli said.

As all of us were shaking in fear of what we were looking at, Ami had raised up her left arm in a slow dead-like manner.

"Fire~!"

She then suddenly changed into a new form. Her wristband had turned red while being engulfed in flames…the middle of her hair was one single flame…and her entire aura was as hot as the sun. Maybe even hotter. I was sweating beyond compare and I wasn't even close to her.

"Fireball Inferno~!" Ami yelled before engulfing her entire body in a huge flame. Then, as she started flying towards Dark Meta Knight…

"Fireball Spin~!"

…She started spinning into a huge fireball and was hurling down like a giant meteor!

Wh-When did she learn THAT?!

"Dark Mirror Ring!" Dark Meta Knight said before splitting himself. Creating 6 dark icy copies of himself as they formed a ring-like circle to block Ami's attack. Sending her back a few feet.

"Graaaaaah~! Damnit~! Stop showing off and DIE ALREADY~!"

"Ami…" I whispered in pure fear of my best friend.

"The Light Soul's full power has been reborn." Dark Meta Knight said. "If it doesn't get contained soon, Primp will suffer a brutal demise."

"Br-Brutal demise?!" Ringo yelled in a panic.

"Chetta was supposed to be here before this happened. She must be running late…" Ms. Accord said.

I wanted to ask what Chetta had to do with this situation. But with Ami completely out of control and the future of this world close to a breaking point…there was a more important thing to do right now.

People might not approve of this…but I don't freaking care.

"Twinkle Dust!"

*BOOM*

"Gaaah~! What~?!"

"Hey! Ami! If you want to kill us all, you'll have to take me down first!" I shouted for all to hear.

"W-Witch! What are you doing?!" Arle yelled as she grabbed a hold of me.

"What do you think I'm doing?! I'm trying to save my best friend! And none of you are gonna ****ing stop me! So, back off!"

I broke free from Arle's grasp ran closer to where Ami was at. The terrifying aura mixed with the heat from her Fire Ability was making it harder to get closer with each step I took. I was pretty much a scared sweaty mess by the time I finally reached her.

"You wish to risk your life to save Amitie?" Dark Meta Knight asked me. "Do you not value it like a treasure?"

"The only things that matter in my life are Grandma Wish and Ami. I already lost one…and I refuse to lose the other!"

"Hmm…a peculiar child you are." Dark Meta Knight said after going silent."Do as you wish. Keep Amitie occupied until Chetta arrives here."

"Fine by me." Was all I replied with as I stared at my best friend…the Light Soul.

Ami…I'm going to save you! Please just hold on!


Raffina's POV

"Shooting Star!"

"Milky Way!"

"Rainbow Tail!"

"Dark Calibur!"

"Triple Crescent Shot!"

"Blade Burst!"

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

"Graaaah~! So annoying~! So infuriating~! STOP BEING STRONGER THAN ME AND DIE~!"

The rest of us continued to watch with shock and horror as Witch and Dark Meta Knight kept at it with Amitie. Trying to hold off her anger-fueled rampage until Chetta got here with…whatever it is that she's supposed to bring.

"Fireball Spin~!"

"Rainbow Rain~!"

"Ice Ball~!"

"Sparking Plasma Bullet~!"

"Toxic Swamp~!"

"Mirror Cut~!"

"PK Electroshift~!"

We saw Amitie consistently switch through the Copy Abilities she once had before. Fire, Water, Ice, Plasma, Poison, Mirror, and ESP. Seeing them being used again was reminding me of the events of last year. And what Amitie went through to get such powers in the first place.

Melody and Rivitie…the two people who caused this on her and they're not here to fix this mess. Some family they are…

"I'm here, everypawdy!" After suddenly hearing a familiar voice, we turned to see the 11-year-old painter girl named Chetta rushing over to us. Then stopping to regain her breath.

"Chetta! You're late, meow!" Popoi yelled.

"I'm sorry…getting back was a real purroblem. We kept getting lost in the etailnity of Space-Time. Right, Akaineko?"

"Meow." Said her 2-dimensional cat.

"Space-Time? Wait, why were you traveling through Space-Time?" Ringo asked.

"Well…"

"I'm sorry, Ringo. But that would have to be answered at a later time." Ms. Accord said. "Right now, we must calm Amitie down before her sanity is lost for good."

"How are we supposed to do that?" I asked. "Witch and Dark Meta Knight are already having a tough time doing it."

"We just need to strike her down long enough for Chetta to send the antidote to her soul. Only then could Amitie start to gain control of the Light Soul's true power."

"Strike her down, huh?" I went silent for a bit. Then turning to the out-of-control classmate known as Amitie Rose. As she was still raging as all hell while spamming attacks left and right.

The more I stared at her, the more I kept getting this strange feeling of willpower. Like…I gotta do something to stop this. Maybe this was the same feeling Witch had before…a "this is going to be completely stupid but I don't care" kind of feeling. And I know understand where she's coming from.

And so, with that in mind…

"Neige!"

*BOOM*

"GAAAAAAH~! What~?!"

"R-Raffina! Wh-What are you…" Arle tried to ask me.

"Hey! Amitie! If you truly believe that you're not weak, then come face me one-on-one! Unless you really ARE weak! Oh, La-Ti-Da!"

"Wh-What?!"

"Hmph. Well, aren't you a hypocrite." Klug said.

I'm ignoring that goody-two-shoes pain in the ass for now. I gotta concentrate if I want this to work…

"Raffina~…you'll pay for that mistake~! WITH YOUR LIFE~!" Amitie screamed with rage as she began flying towards me at full speed. Destined to kill me simply because I called her weak.

Wait for it…

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!" Amitie's yelling was getting closer.

Wait for it…

"Raffina! Get out of the way!" The others were pleading for me to move.

Wait for it…

"*giggle* Ready when you are, Sis." I suddenly heard Raina's voice in my head.

"Very well, Raina…" I replied to her. "Décharge!"

*POW*

"GAAAAAA…" I uppercut Amitie in the chin. Sending her upward while being paralyzed with electricity. Thanks to the little magic from my pouch that I hid in secret.

"What the…" I heard the others say…

"Raina!"

"Okie-doki, Sis!" Raina cheered as she hugged me from behind. Then, in an instant, we warped together to where Amitie was. Specifically, above her.

"Ready, Raina?"

"Ready, Sis!"

"Jumelle Ciel Arc!"

"Jumelle Ciel Arc!"

*POW*

"GAAAAAAA!"

*BOOM*

We both kicked Amitie so hard that she plummeted to the ground like a meteor. And by the time we both came down, she was out cold and her Light Soul form was slowly fading away.

"Yay! We did it, Sis! We did it!"

"Oh, La-Ti-Da! It was nothing but a natural outcome!"

"W-Wait, what did you two just do?!" Peruvis asked. "Th-The warping and the powerful dropkick…"

"Was that some kind of new power?" Maguro asked.

"Oh, that. It's a special move Raina and I have been working on. It lets us combine our minds and powers to form one big special attack. I call it Jumelle Ciel Arc! Or Twin Rainbow, in English."

"It's the first time I actually did it right!" Raina said. "You're proud of me right, Sis?! Huh?! Huh?! Are ya?! Are ya?!"

"Yes, Raina. I'm proud of you." I said while patting my dense clone's head.

"Yay!"

"Geez…you were able to communicate with Raina like that to perform such a move?" Ringo asked. "I wish I could do that with MY clone." She then turned to Cheri, who had fallen asleep at some point during the whole ordeal.

"Such a thing is definitely out of the question for me." Lidelle said. As we all knew who she was talking about.

"Oh, God. I don't even want to know what goes on in Arly's mind…" Arle said with mild shivers.

"Gu gu gu?"

"Y-You don't wanna know, Carby."

"I-I'm…not…weak. I-I'm…not…w-weak…" We then overheard Amitie talking in her sleep. Most likely having a nightmare about that one word that started this mess in the first place.

"The essence of the Red Puyo Hat is still strong." Dark Meta Knight said. "We must contain it quickly."

"I'm on it." Chetta said. "Akaineko."

"Meow." Akaineko then suddenly jumped out of his owner's hands and walked over to the still unconscious blonde girl. Her body began to glow a light blue color after he placed his paw on her forehead.

"Woah…" Some of us said.

"What's he doing?" Feli asked Chetta.

"Giving Amitie the antidote. Which is actually…the 8th Copy Ability."

"S-Seriously?! The 8th Copy Ability?!" Witch shouted in shock.

"The 8th Copy Ability…known as the main weapon…was the only thing Amitie was missing in order to fully take control of her Light Soul powers." Dark Meta Knight said. "Without that, the power was dangerously unstable. And thus her sanity…and eventually her soul…would have completely disintegrated."

"W-Woah…" We all said with huge chills. Not wanting to imagine the outcome if that were to happen.

"S-So, she now has all 8 abilities?" Lidelle asked.

"Yep." Chetta said. "All 5 elementals, Mirror, ESP, and the main weapon. Though, I don't know what that is, really. I wasn't able to take a quick peak."

"I see…" Ringo said. "…So, I guess we'll have to wait until Am wakes up."

"What?! But what about my exam?!"

Klug then was given multiple threatening death stares from nearly every girl in the class. Which made him tense up rather quickly.

"Bro, I think you oughta forget about that exam…" Peruvis (one of the few that wasn't staring him down) said to her step-brother.

"Unless you really want to die for it." Sig added.

"P…P-Point taken." Was all Klug said.


Amitie's POV

"*moan* M-My head…"

"Hmph. So, you're finally awake. About time." I heard a sudden voice talking to me.

"Huh? R…R-Rivitie?" I then looked around to see that I was in my room. "Wh-What the? I-I'm home? B-But I was at school just a moment ago."

"A moment ago? Try a few hours ago."

"H-Hours?! Wh-What the hell?! How did I blank out for a couple of hours?!"

"Calm down, will you. You'll set off your Light Soul powers if you get too worked up about it."

"Light Soul?" I went silent for a bit. Honestly shocked to hear that title again. "S-Sis, what's going on? Why'd you bring that up?"

"*sigh* Because…you're the Light Soul again."

"Wh-What?! B-But I thought you destroyed the Legend!"

Rivitie went silent as she turned away from me. Eventually, she came and sat next to me on my bed. Trying to look serious despite the tears slowly starting to form.

"Truth is…I didn't destroy it. More like…I couldn't destroy it."

"You couldn't?"

"When I went to Another Dimension to destroy the damn thing…I learned that destroying it would ultimately lead to us two being killed. Along with the rest of the world."

"Wh-What?! How?!"

""Without the souls of Light & Dark, the world will shatter into nothing." That part was hidden underneath some dust. Meaning that if we were to get rid of our powers, it would basically be getting rid of all light and darkness in the world. And it can't survive without either one."

"G-Get really real…" I said in shock. "…B-But we're only 17! Why is the fate of the world resting on OUR shoulders?! That's crazy!"

"Heh. Well, you can thank Mom for that. She's the one who gave us these powers."

"*sigh* Goddamnit, Mom…" I said under my breath. "…where is she, anyway?"

"She's out in the living room with your friends. They're the ones who brought you home."

"Really?"

"In fact…they did a lot of work to make you the Light Soul again. You really oughta thank them."

"I see…" With that known, I got out of my bed…only to get a splitting headache from moving so fast. And that's when I noticed the bandage around my head. "Wh-What happened to my head?"

"Meh. I heard that Raffina and Raina kicked you real good earlier. It was a real good strike, too."

"They KICKED me?! In the head?! Why?!"

"I don't know. Ask them. They're the ones that saw you go crazy."

Go crazy?

"*sigh* Whatever." I said as I made my way to the door. "You coming?"

"No, I'm gonna go. I'm busy working and I only stopped her just to check on you."

"Aw~! You were worried about me~!"

"I-I was NOT! I was just passing by! That's ALL it was!" Rivitie grew a huge blush on her face.

"*giggle* Okay, sure. We'll go with that."

"Ugh! Geez…" Rivitie then started making her way to the window. "Hey…can I ask you a favor?"

"A favor?"

"Don't tell anyone about what I told you. If people were to find out that we're responsible for all of their lives, it'll be forever tense."

"Oh, yeah. That would be bad…" I gained a sweatdrop. "Yeah, sure. I can keep that a secret."

"Good. See you around, then." This was the last thing Rivitie said before jumping out of the window and flying off. To where, I'm not sure. She doesn't really talk much about her job.

At least she's not destroying worlds or something…


I went into the living room to find Arle, Ringo, Raffina, Misuki, Lidelle, Feli, and Mom waiting for me to wake up. And from there, they each explained to me what happened at school today. From early this morning to where I apparently blacked out and went crazy on everyone.

And it was a lot to take in.

"Wow…so, that's what happened. Sorry for…you know…threatening to kill you all."

"Ah, it's fine, Ami." Misuki said. "Just a normal day in Primp Town, really."

"It really shouldn't be…" Ringo said with a sweatdrop.

"In any case, Amitie…you're the Light Soul again." Arle said. "How do you feel about that?"

"Well…it is kinda shocking. I honestly thought Rivitie destroyed the Legend, but…I guess she had her reasons not to."

More like a really BIG reason…

"Speaking of which, I can't believe you never bothered to come help us, Melody." Raffina said to Mom. "Was a mid-afternoon nap more important than your daughter's soul?"

"H-Hey, it wasn't like that! Of course, I knew about her powers being unstable. Why else did I ask Harmony to help out with this?"

"Huh?" We all said in shock.

"You asked Ms. Accord? So, this really was planned from the start?" Ringo asked.

"Well, Harmony did most of the work. She has better connections when it comes to Space-Time and all of that."

"Uh…" All of us grew huge sweatdrops after hearing that specific detail about our teacher.

"She contacted that Dark Meta Knight guy and the two of them planned this out as a final exam. And she had Chetta go to that Dream Land place to get that main weapon thing that you needed to control your Light Soul powers. I would've never been able to do that on my own."

"Wow…that's really interesting." Arle said.

"Aw, what?! Chetta went back to Dream Land?!" I whined."I could've gone and see Kirby again!"

"You're completely missing the point…" Lidelle and Feli both gained sweatdrops.

"Wait, so…if Dark Meta Knight was involved in this, where is he now?"

"Oh, right. He left right when we were going to take you home. He left this note for you." Misuki said as she gave me the note.

It read:


Amitie…

If you are reading this, then that means you have awoken from your sudden slumber. And thus, you have full control over your Light Soul powers.

I will admit that challenging you to a duel was nothing more than to help rebalance your powers. But…now that you have all 8 Copy Abilities, the real battle looms closer.

You still have much to learn. The 8th Ability, Friend Abilities, and most of all…learn to overcome being called weak. Once you learn how to do all of that…

Well…it will be an interesting battle for sure. Prepare yourself, Light Soul.

-DMK


I stared at the note for a few minutes…then began giggling to myself with the utmost excitement.

"What are you laughing at?" Mom asked.

"Oh, nothing." Was all I asked.

Just you wait, Dark Meta Knight. Next time, I'll show you my TRUE full power! *giggle*

"So, Ami." Misuki said. "You got the 8th Copy Ability, don't you? Let us see what it is!"

"Witch is right." Raffina said. "We went through a lot of trouble to get that main weapon in your soul. The least you can do is show it to us."

"Okay, okay. I am curious about what it is, myself."

"Fufufufu~! Finally…I get to see the true powers of the Light Soul~! My inner self can't contain the excitement~! Fufufufu~!"

"Calm down, you creepy loli." Lidelle said to Feli.

"I-I'm not a loli!" Feli whined in a girly voice.

"Let's see…" I closed my eyes and looked deep into my soul to activate the 8th Copy Ability. Unlike the others, where I had to absorb something into my left hand, this one was already a part of my soul. So, I really had to concentrate.

Fire…

Water…

Ice…

Plasma…

Poison…

Mirror…

ESP…

Oh! Here it is! The 8th Ability! Wow…I didn't think THIS would be an Ability. Seems kinda out there…I wonder how everyone will react to it.

And…

"Yo-Yo!" I shouted with my left hand in the air. Seconds later, a red & yellow yo-yo with a white star in the middle appeared in my hand. And a single band-aid appeared on my right cheek.

"A…A-Are you for real?" Raffina asked.

"Amitie…you mean to tell me that the 8th Copy Ability…the MAIN weapon…is a yo-yo?" Arle asked.

"I risked my life for a damn yo-yo?!" Misuki asked. Clearly the most upset out of everyone.

"Hey, don't get mad at me. Kirby did say that there are too many Abilities for him to count. Maybe this is one of the unique ones."

"Well…the fact that there's a Yo-Yo Ability is interesting in its own right." Ringo said.

"I'm still upset that it's a yo-yo, of all things…" Misuki said. "…but I still wanna see what it can do."

"Hey, if you're going to swing that yo-yo around, then go do it outside." Mom said. "I don't want anything to break around here."

"Fine, fine." I said.


With that, the 7 of us went to the park to test out my new Yo-Yo Ability. It should be enough room for a bit of a showcase of this thing. Hopefully, I don't hit people in the eye…

"Yo-Yo Throw!" I threw the yo-yo in front of me.

"Yo-Yo Up!" I threw the yo-yo above my head.

"Yo-Yo Orbit!" I spun the yo-yo around me in a circle.

"Woah…" The girls said in amazement.

"Walk the Dog!" I threw the yo-yo in front of me and then had it roll across the ground as if I was…you know…walking a dog.

"Woah! You can do THAT?!" Arle asked.

"It's like Maguro and his kendama." Ringo said. "The tricks you can do on them are pretty insane."

"If you think that's insane, then look at this. Gazer Spiral!" I then placed the yo-yo on the ground as I spun up in the air. Sending out two stars from both sides before coming back down.

"WOAH!" Everyone was SUPER impressed with that.

"Damn, Amitie! You're really good with that yo-yo!" Raffina said.

"I take back what I said, Ami! I'm definitely glad that I risked my life for a yo-yo!" Misuki said.

"Hehhehheh…thanks." I said while rubbing the back of my head. "To be honest, I've never played with a yo-yo before. So, this was my first time actually using one."

"Well, you definitely looked like a pro just now, Amitie." Feli said.

"Come to think about…isn't there something else you can do with it?" Lidelle asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Well, Dark Meta Knight mentioned something about Friend Abilities, didn't he? "A weapon ability can fuse with an elemental ability to manipulate their move sets". Maybe they can work with Yo-Yo."

"Hmm…that's a good point." I then went silent as I tried to implement one of the elemental abilities onto Yo-Yo.

"Gah! I can't do it! I don't know what to do to make it happen!"

"Well, I suppose learning everything in one day was a bit of a stretch…"

"Yeah, but…at least she now has all 8 Copy Abilities." Arle said. "And she's back to her normal self, too."

"Yeah…that's true…" I went silent for a bit. "H-Hey, guys…thanks for putting up with me through this whole ordeal. And I don't just mean with what happened today. I mean with everything. Keeping Kirby a secret here, going to Dream Land with me, fighting your clones, Rivitie, and eventually Zero…I sure dragged you all into a huge freaking mess. That spanned across 2 different worlds, too."

"Amitie, don't worry about it." Arle said. "We're your friends and we're always there to help you out."

"Whether it's exploring a different world…" Feli said.

"Fighting bullies, two-headed dragons, or even a fallen angel…" Lidelle said.

"Or something as simple as returning a lost amulet…" Ringo said.

"We've got your back no matter what!" Raffina yelled.

"Damn straight! We'll be together till the very end, Ami!" Misuki yelled.

"Guys…" I nearly broke into tears when I heard all of that. Never did I thought that I would have such great and caring friends. They truly are the best!

*RINGTONE CHIME*

"Hello?"

"Hey, Amitie! I heard from Chetta that you got a badass new power! I wanna see it!"

"Mandrake, how did you get my number?"

"I'm using Klug's phone. I stole it when he was in the bathroom."

"Uh…"

"Mandrake, give me back my phone!" I heard Klug's voice in the background.

"Crap! He's after me! Gotta go! Bye!"

The phone then hung up as I stood there in complete confusion from what just happened.

"Well…that's a thing." I said.

"*sigh* I swear…that girl just never behaves." Arle said with a facepalm.

"In any case, I think I gotta go help Klug get his phone back."

"Eh. Why bother? I think it's perfectly fine." Raffina said.

"Agreed." Feli said. "Four-Eyes is getting exactly what he deserves."

"I second that." Misuki added.

"Get real, you three…" I said with a sweatdrop as we all eventually went to help Klug get his phone back from Mandrake.

It shouldn't be that big of a problem…now that I got my special powers once more.

The Light Soul is BACK, baby! Watch me now! *giggle*

Author's Note: IT'S HERE! After making said promise over 2 years ago, I present to you the bonus chapter of Puyo Puyo: Dream Land Invasion!

I've actually gotten a few messages about if this was coming or not. I wanted this to be a bit of a surprise. So, I never brought it up in previous notes.

So, about this chapter…I've actually been working on it for months now. And it went through multiple versions before I finally settled on this one. And even then…it ended up being close to 10k words. It wasn't supposed to be this long, but…it happened.

The main reason as to why I wrote this now is because I wanted it to be semi-canon to my current Puyo crossover Megadimension Puyo: The Zodiac Stones. A lot of things from here have already been referenced in there. So, I wanted to make the two connect to a certain degree.

So, with all of that said…thank you guys so much for reading this story. As it is now OFFICIALLY complete! It's my most popular story ever and I'm glad that you guys enjoyed it to the very end.

Thanks for reading. Later.
