One hour passed, and Kirby's army was still waiting for the city gates to open. The Mii Swordfighter army spread out across the town, rescuing whatever Spirits they could find from Supporters and monsters, while the Middle Fab Fairy accompanied Kirby, Piranha Plant, Captain Falcon, Sheik, Villager, Mii Swordfighter, Link, Fox, Dr. Mario, and Wii Fit Trainer as they waited for a way through. Suddenly, a couple of Mii Swordfighters came back with the Spirits Buliara and Booker.
"Your ex-Highness," one Mii Swordfighter spoke to the ex-Swordfighter Ultimate Reborn. "We had found these Spirits intruding the border of Morrowsville, claiming they were simply guarding until we arrived…" The two Spirits then passed through the Mii Fighters' arms like ghosts, approaching the fighters.
"What do you think you baboon-brains are doing here?!" Buliara asked, pointing her spear at the current group. "Those walls were designed to keep intruders like you out!"
"My fair vai, please," Link answered. "This world is already in so much danger that walls alone won't keep Galeem's armies out. And besides, you're already trapped here as it is, and we're doing our job to help everyone. The least you could do is accompany us…"
"We haven't even found our friend yet!" Booker growled. "Wish you a last goodbye once those monsters start tearing up everything." Both Booker and Buliara vanished, floating off. The moment the Mii Fighters walked off, Kirby and his friends felt the ground rumbling. The gate itself was starting to open thanks to the power source cut out from the city, and this startled the group as they quickly ran near the gaping doors. The Piranha Plant was the first one to stand up front, and he was ready to face some challenges in the city no matter how tough they were due to the fact that his tongue was flapping out of his mouth like a dog's. However, as soon as the doors opened to a reasonable width, the poor flower felt his spotted face punched by a green boxing glove. Piranha Plant was launched through the Middle Fab Fairy and hit Kirby, creating a powerful collision between the pink puffball and the carnivorous flower. Captain Falcon ran over to the two fighters, helping them up while everyone saw who was waiting at the door for them. It was, in fact, Little Mac, red eyes and rainbow aura with everything else, complete with the Master Legendary Spirit Balrog from Ryu's and Ken's world to go with him.
"Everyone stay back," Fox McCloud warned his friends, pointing his pistol at the captured fighter. "I'll take care of this-" However, before he finished, Piranha Plant quickly ran up to the Little Mac Primary, preparing to spit out poison. The carnivorous flower then quickly bit the captured fighter's chest, triggering another vortex to spawn around the Primary. Without a need for the golden cages, all Kirby and his friends could do is wait and hope the flower makes it out alive.
The Piranha Plant wriggled out of his flower pot, hearing a crowd cheer around him. The flower then saw he was in a dark environment, with a roof of bright lights over his head and a large screen in the background, ready to broadcast a fight. Hearing a dull whoosh, Piranha Plant quickly ducked into his pot to see the Primary's fist right above him. The Piranha Plant then lunged out of his pot, biting harshly at the Little Mac Primary. The captured fighter landed right in the center of the ring, charging up a powerful punch. Piranha Plant began spitting out a poison cloud, drastically building up damage as the cloud lingered. Due to the fact that the Little Mac Primary could not flinch from attacks thanks to his nearly-charged move, the captured fighter shot straight out with a flaming fist, but the carnivorous flower managed to shield in time. Thanks to all the buildup damage, Piranha Plant managed to grab ahold of Little Mac and continuously bite, finishing off with an upward throw. As soon as the Little Mac Primary was knocked out, the only sound that remained on the disappearing stage was the generic crowd cheering Piranha Plant's name.
While Link, Mii Swordfighter, and a few others were waiting for Piranha Plant to make a return, Kirby fell asleep on the concrete road, feeling rather impatient. Just then, a vortex appeared in front of the opened gate doors, and Piranha Plant appeared with something big in his mouth that his face stretched twice as big. Once the carnivorous flower spat out who appeared to be Little Mac turned back to normal, the small boxer quickly woke up covered in cold saliva.
"You know this doesn't wash off easily, right?" Little Mac asked, watching Piranha Plant smirk while covering his face with his leaves. The white mist and Balrog Spirit that were inside Little Mac's body floated out of the vortex. Everyone watched as they entered inside Kirby as usual, but instead of waking up the pink puffball instantly it simply let him sleep, as if the visions were transferring Kirby to a dream…
The Sky Temple Training Arena was dark when Kirby woke up. The first thing he heard were fighting sounds coming from the central stage in the middle of the stadium. The pink puffball then ran towards where the sound was coming from, and there he saw Ultima training with Sozo and Hakai in the middle of the night. He watched from a distance and admired how the black-coated dragon with rainbow wings was kicking in midair with flames on her claws, listening to the commands that the two generals of the Dragosmo Army were giving her. Sozo and Hakai then took off into the air, striking with friendly combat blows of their own.
"Strike! Kick! Unleash a ball of fire!" Sozo said as he blocked the blows from Ultima's perfect moves with his tail.
"Get a little more on the wild side!" Hakai taught, dodging the thrusts from Ultima's tail. "That's how you do it! Now… unleash your most powerful attack to the greatest potential!" With a deep breath, Ultima began spinning in the air, creating a flaming tornado in the middle of the stadium and knocking both Sozo and Hakai back. Once Ultima finished, she began feeling rather dizzy after spinning so quickly. As she slowly descended, Sozo lunged in towards her and pinned the young dragon to the ground. Once Ultima was lying on her side, the golden-eyed commander placed his front paw on her neck.
"Never let your guard down," Sozo explained, giving Ultima some space. "Battles are always meant to be unfair, so your opponent will strike you down, even if you ignore your fight for a split second. The lesson is: always keep your eyes open. However, you did very well in these private lessons. We're both proud of you, Ultima." The young Dragosmo student then sat up, shaking off the dust from her own scales.
"It's too bad Galeem and Phoenix couldn't join me while I had my own private lessons," Ultima sighed, looking back at the topmost room where she and her brothers were sleeping at.
"They both probably had their own reasons," Sozo said. "One is growing curious about popularity, and the other feels rejected. It is your responsibility to make sure they have made the right decisions in order to get through life, for reality is never fair."
"Yeah," Hakai noted. "One day, you're going to have to let go of the past and put away your toys. That's the way the bread crumbles. Hopefully your brothers might take notice of that too."
"What I don't understand is… why me and my brothers?" Ultima objected. "I clearly don't hear any of the other dragons having their own lessons." Sozo was just about to answer, but suddenly looked up at the sky, noticing a rusty-red planet surrounded by icy rings.
"We're here at our destination," Sozo said. "You may have to place your question aside and wait until later." While the Sky Temple Training Arena was slowly approaching the planet, the other hundreds of Dragosmo students headed to the center, staring in awe at the peculiar planet in the starry sky.
"For our next year in training, we will be living here on Chikuo, home of the Earth Rainbolement," Hakai explained. "Here, the Crystal Sharkanoids will be helping us achieve our goal right now." As soon as the Sky Temple Training Arena landed on the rocky surface, all of the young dragons left towards the entrance except for Galeem, Phoenix, and Ultima.
"Where were you?" Phoenix asked Ultima.
"I was busy training with Sozo and Hakai throughout the night," Ultima answered. "I noticed you two came home one at a time after being exhausted, so I thought I could give these private lessons a try."
"We understand… but why do you wanna do that?" Galeem asked.
"I suppose I want to train to be the best of the best, like you boys are doing," Ultima answered. "…We better get going if we want to catch up with our teachers."
"Agreed," Phoenix renowned, flying off to the entrance while leaving a neon-pink trail behind his wings. Galeem took off behind the black-coated dragon with a blue-and-orange swirl twisting into golden sparkling behindhand, and Ultima followed in midair with a spectrum trail. As Kirby watched, he wanted to see what happens next once the dragons set foot outside of the Sky Temple Training Arena and onto Chikuo and followed after them.
Once the doors opened, Hakai and Sozo stepped outside with the Dragosmo students following in after them, setting foot on an orange, barren surface. The sky itself was a rusty red, only showing the depths of space since there was no atmosphere to protect the planet's bare, smooth surface from its star's radiation. Thankfully, the dragons of Arcus were somehow adapted to such harsh conditions on a barren planet, allowing them to walk without multiple symptoms.
"Follow us, pupils," Sozo said, walking with Hakai across the stone surface. "There is a hidden entrance in this exact location, allowing living species to thrive underground." The golden-eyed leader then stopped at a certain location, tapping and scraping the ground with his paw. Hakai joined in too, combing the rocky-hard surface for some sort of entrance. Just then, the violet-eyed general began tapping a metallic material instead of stone.
"Found something!" Hakai called out to his brother. The violet-eyed general then flapped with his wings, blowing away the dusty surface to reveal a way through. The dragons students then gasped in awe as they saw a colossal, futuristic door covered in rust and meteorite markings right below their feet.
Sozo then pressed his front dragon claws close to the ground, generating some sort of energy inbetween them. Matter began forming right out of nowhere, creating a rock just the size of the general's head. Sozo then picked up the stone with his mouth and walked right above where the two shut doors closed tight near each other. A strange rumbling suddenly occurred, and the doors started opening. Knowing what happens next, the dragons began flying into the air to watch the stone drop into a vast, empty abyss pitch-black to the naked eye. An elevator then started rolling up, revealing to be a hovering circle with the stone from before in the dab center of it. Once the dragons got onto the elevator, Kirby still in his Smash Ball possession ran onto the platform before an orange barrier closed over it. After the platform lowered deep underground, the doors slid shut, and the platform illuminated an orange light. The dragons that were kept inside were descending farther into Chikuo's crust, protected by the crushing pressure surrounding them.
"So… what is this Earth Rainbolement we're going to be learning about, General Sozo?" Galeem asked, looking at the diamonds embedded in the stone-hard ground.
"The Rainbolement of Earth serves as defensive and tough, basically impenetrable barriers," Sozo answered. "Just as the fire gives us power, we also need to learn about wisdom. The Earth can become as old as time itself, and with it the knowledge of better understanding. Once we head down to the planet's core, you will be having a stay at the Crystal Sharkanoids' best dojo and learn how to control that particular Rainbolement through the Earth Citrine." The protected platform then dropped through the lava-flowing mantle, quickly dropping down to the core. After the platform with the Dragosmos landed, the magma dripped away on the barrier's surface to reveal a utopian empire hidden deep underground, coexisting with crystalized nature. There were futuristic buildings hanging both up and down, and some were even connecting like the stone pillars. Flying pods were zipping around, and there were a few Crystal Sharkanoids approaching the dragons. Each Crystal Sharkanoid had the heads of different breeds of sharks, but they stood with a posture identical to humans, and they had powerful fins on their arms, legs and tail to help dig through any rough surface and "swim" through it.
"Welcome to the Core Zone," the lead Crystal Sharkanoid decorated with golden jewels introduced. "My name is Blacktip, current ruler of Chikuo."
"You can speak the common language?" one Dragosmo student asked.
"Of course," Blacktip answered. "We had plenty of visitors far and wide and have learned how to speak many different languages, including the one you speak. So… I take it you're hear to earn powers through the Earth Citrine, haven't you?" Blacktip toyed around with the golden necklace that held a glowing-orange gemstone in front of his neck.
"Pretty much," Hakai responded.
"Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if you stay, but recently I have been forced to take care of several problems, most of them involving something to do with the planet's core…" Blacktip sighed.
"Whatever do you mean?" Phoenix asked in the group of Dragosmo students.
"You see…" Blacktip went on, "we Crystal Sharkanoids have become full-bred miners, and we have adapted to living underground. At this depth, you're bound to find something valuable to sell in the space black market. However, all of the rare sources we have harvested are nonrenewable and are slowly draining our planet to waste for nothing but paper and more metal currency. What I meant to say is that we have been getting rather greedy, and few of us are becoming more fearful of the entire planet collapsing in on us and burying our entire civilization. However, thanks to riots and budget problems, I'm the only one left who still believes our nation is doomed if we don't do something."
"Why don't you lead your people up to the surface?" Ultima asked. "It would save your kind and you wouldn't have to worry about being buried alive…"
"I would like to help lead my people to the surface, but…" Blacktip said. "The main issue I'm having is… we only used the robots we have created to sell the minerals we have mined for food, and none of our kind has ever been to the surface due to a very thin atmosphere. Besides, we have quickly adapted to living under such intense pressures." Sozo sat up and tapped the rim of his mouth with his front claw, thinking about a solution to the Sharkanoids' problems. Suddenly, the earth started rumbling above the dragons, and a large stone pillar was about to fall right on top of the Dragosmo students, ready to crush on impact. As the young dragons screamed in fright, Sozo and Hakai quickly flew up, creating matter out of the thin air and forming molten hot lava to weld the pillar to the ceiling as quickly as possible. Freezing the magma with their icy breath, the two generals had managed to stop the pillar from falling on their students.
"See what I mean?!" Blacktip asked. Hakai and Sozo landed onto the ground, relieved that their students were okay.
"You say you adapt quickly to your surroundings, right?" Sozo asked. "How about you give us the Rainbolement of Earth while you take your empire and living creatures and bring them to the surface?"
"Are you sure you want us to do that?" Blacktip asked. "It would take about a year and several months to get everything checked, and I don't think even the surface would support all our weight."
"Which is why you must give our students these abilities to harness the earth," Sozo explained.
"But where would we get the resources to provide for our species?" Blacktip asked.
"You have your technology," Sozo finished. "I'm sure you can create something out of the minerals you have harvested over the centuries."
"Thank you ever so much," Blacktip sighed with relief. The Crystal Sharkanoid then rubbed the Earth Citrine on his neck, giving it a radiant glow. Mists then flew into the young students, giving them new abilities.
"You now have access to the Earth Rainbolement," Blacktip said. "Now you best hurry, young Dragosmos. The Core Zone will fall apart one day, so I hope you would get going…" Both the ruler of the Crystal Sharkanoid and his guards then headed back towards the futuristic towers, leaving Sozo, Hakai, Ultima, Galeem, Phoenix, and the hundreds of Dragosmos-in-training to rebuild the planet's core.
"Okay, class," Sozo explained. "You know the drill: we help those in need, we also learn how to harness our powers at the same time." Once the students took off into the air, Sozo and Hakai followed behind them, ready to teach them. While Kirby was still spectating the event that was currently unfolding right in front of him, the environment blinded around him, which means that it's over for now.
Kirby woke up back at the gate near Morrowsville, feeling the Piranha Plant nuzzle him before licking his cuddly-pink body to wake him up. The pink alien hopped up, rubbing the carnivorous flower on the head.
"Finally," Sheik said. "You're awake. While you were busy sleeping, the rest of our friends traveled around this city that is known as Electronica. We had also managed to clear most o the city from the Supporters, and we've been doing less and less of that spinning-barrier roulette…"
"Last one!" Link called out from the city, holding a Peach Supporter dressed in red by the neck. "All I had to use was a Staff item and boosted shooting items, then afterward kill off the main puppet from a distance before time ran out. And BOY, was she hard." After slashing his Master Sword once to kill the Peach Supporter, a Normal Legendary Pauline Spirit from Mario's world floated out of the now-Shadow Bug clump. Once the mayor of New Donk City went inside Kirby's body, the Mii Swordfighter looked at his group with a little bit of suspicion.
"Do you guys get the feeling we're missing someone?" the ex-Swordfighter Ultimate Reborn asked. The group of fighters became rather curious as to who could still be missing.
"I know we've heard back from the Mii Fighter troops we gathered so far, but I noticed our group is still empty," Little Mac noted.
"There's still a lot of us still under Galeem's control," Fox explained. "Who else could we be missing?" All of a sudden, the Star Fox leader heard some sort of soundwave approaching towards them. Visible orange soundwaves then appeared in a straight line, giving Fox plenty of time to recognize what was going to happen.
"Everybody get out of the way!" Fox yelled, with him and his friends quickly backing away from the soundwaves. A large blast of ink then began shooting out in a beam, and the group quickly saw that it was none other than their friend Clementine – the Inkling – using her Killer Wail. Once the powerful weapon vanished, Inkling quickly pulled out her Splattershot, triggering Kirby and his friends with the usual glowing-red eyes and white aura.
"Stay back, everyone!" Fox exclaimed, pointing his blaster at who appeared to be DJ Octavio inside the Inkling's body. Kirby, however, pushed Fox aside and attempted to fight the orange squid girl on his own.
"Why won't anyone let me have a chance?" Fox sighed, facepalming himself.
As the Inkling Primary began firing her Splattershot at Kirby, the pink alien ran up to the captured fighter and pulled out his hammer, ready to set it on flames and swing it hard before another vortex appeared between the two opponents.
The Shadow Bugs in the vortex's area started gleaming a bright golden, and the stage that was formed appeared as a modern utopian battlefield, with multicolored ink splattered on the sides and skyscrapers with untranslatable language that only cephalopods can read. The Inkling Primary landed first, with octopus tentacles now squirming in place of her fingers and hair-like appendages as she glared with red eyes at the pink demon that was standing before her.
The captured fighter chirped in an Octoling language from DJ Octavio's voice, firing away with her Splattershot. The orange ink began splattering all over the stage, and Kirby floated to and fro, avoiding the ink splatters. Once he was at a reasonable distance, Kirby inhaled the Inkling Primary before she could throw a Splat Bomb. The Inkling's true Fighter Spirit took over Kirby's mind as he gained the Copy Ability from the captured fighter. The orange, squid-like hair appeared on Kirby's head, and his eyes gleamed the Smash Ball logo once more.
Once the Inkling Primary was spat out of Kirby's body, she jumped into a large flying robot with a stereo attached to the main control seat. Scratching the two record discs, the captured fighter unleashed two rocket-powered fists coated with metal and decorated with bling knuckles. The Inkling Primary then began mixing the sickest beats she could come up with, and she started attacking Kirby. The Inkling Fighter Spirit controlled Kirby's body and began firing with her Splattershot, shooting at the captured fighter and avoiding the fast-speeding fists. Once the two fists slammed with punches so powerful that they were buried in the ground upon impact, Kirby with the Inkling Copy ability jumped on top of the two rocket arms. After the Inkling Primary noticed she was low on ink, Kirby began slapping her repeatedly with an Ink Brush. Once the two rocket-powered fists emerged from the ground, they auto-targeted the pink puffball and were closing in on him. Before the captured fighter could grab Kirby, the pink puffball with the orange, squid-like hair shot out into the air with Super Jump. As soon as the rocket-powered fists closed in on the Inkling Primary, there was nothing DJ Octavio inside the squid kid could do to avoid his own attack as the stereo-bot exploded on impact, nabbing a victory for Kirby and Clementine's Fighter Spirit.
Kirby, dazed and confused, tapped on his own forehead to feel the Smash Ball stuck to him once more. Apparently, he could not catch a single break as a large clump of rocks fell on top of him. However, because of the fact he was like a ghost in these visions, Kirby walked out shaking, although possibly traumatized. He saw he was back at the Core Zone, but almost all of the Crystal Sharkanoids' technological cities were absent, and all that was remaining was an empty space ready to cave in. Just surrounding the pile of rocks that fell on top of Kirby were a swarm of dragons, each one appearing to have increased in size. He had also noticed Ultima, Galeem, and Phoenix in there as well, ready to help clean up.
"Now do it again, like you have practiced all these months," Sozo called out from a reasonable distance. The flying Dragosmo students began dancing in the air, and they waved their front legs in some sort of dance pattern to rebuild the rocks into their shape. After the pillar was reformed, half of the small group of Dragosmo students tried holding the pieces in place while the other half, including Ultima and her brothers, combined the Earth Rainbolement with the Fire one to use the lava trick that Sozo and Hakai had shown before and welded the two pieces together. Their flapping wings were used to cool down the magma, and the small group took off before they recognized something off… well, Galeem, Phoenix, and Ultima anyway…
"General Sozo?" Ultima asked, she and her brothers flying towards the golden-eyed general.
"What is it?" Sozo sighed.
"Don't you feel like there's no point in trying to rebuild the Core Zone?" Ultima asked. "I mean… whatever we build, the laws of this planet would come around and destroy these things, forcing us to build again…" Just as Ultima finished, the pillar that she and her brothers had just helped fix crumbled again, causing another earthquake to occur.
"Besides," Galeem noted, "the Sharkanoids had been waiting for a rather long time to land on Chikuo's surface, and they had been cramped in these spaceships."
"Perhaps once the landscape changes, the soil will overturn, their native plants will be well-fertilized, and this might be the chance to give their home planet a perfect atmosphere," Phoenix replied. "Let us have nature do its usual business, just like your brother, General Hakai, said."
Sozo then quickly made up his decision, and he pressed the button on the watch-like device on his wrist to teleport him back to the Sky Temple Training Arena. Hakai saw what his brother was doing and quickly did the same. Afterwards, Sozo's voice was broadcasted on the Dragosmo students' devices.
"Alright," Sozo explained. "Stop what you're doing and get out of here. There's no point in trying to fix something that always breaks. Now move it!" As the Core Zone kept rumbling, every single one of the young dragons warped back to the stadium, and the last few pillars supporting the higher ground broke. The dense rocks and magma thousands of miles thick fell on top of what the great civilization of the Core Zone called their home, and Kirby was about to be caught in it all. Before anything landed on him, the whole environment went dark, and the rumbling stopped.
As soon as Kirby opened his eyes, he had noticed a rocky, jagged landscape that had really shaped the face of the planet Chikuo. The atmosphere above him was becoming a little bit denser thanks to the microscopic plants growing in the rich soil, tasting the thin air for the first time and giving it new life. As if he wasn't doing anything, Kirby felt himself instantly transported to the entrance of the Sky Temple Training Arena, where he and the young dragons were looking outside to gaze upon the planet's surface.
There were widened craters, canyons, dust clouds, and mountains making up the planet's face rather than just a big, plain desert completely void and bland. Few of the Crystal Sharkanoid ships began landing on the surface, realizing everything is calmed down now and they can see the outside world for the first time.
"Thank you for everything, kids," Blacktip spoke over a special transmitted message. "Because of you fellas trying hard, we can finally see our own sun for the first time in thousands… millions of years. We can use the soil that has been upturned for more fertile lands and exchange what minerals we've salvaged for water to fill our rivers. See you all when we get the chance!"
"You're welcome," the Dragosmo students cheered. Sozo and Hakai then walked in, recognizing how tired most of the students were after a year and several months of both training and repairing rocks.
"Okay," Sozo sighed. "Because I've realized how exhausted you all might be, I'll be extending the time to our next destination. So just take a break and we will arrive at our next planet in a few days." The dragons then began walking off, heading back to their rooms.
Once Galeem, Phoenix, and Ultima headed back to their main room, the former was just about to join his brother and sister before he felt a little tap on his front leg. Galeem turned around to see another female dragon, different from all of the other friends he made before and was not noticed by him until now. She had a golden snowflake texture on her scales, and her wings glistened like silver diamonds.
"Do I notice you from somewhere?" Galeem asked, a little curious about this new dragon in front of him. The dragon only giggled in response.
"Well, one of my friends must've told you all about me," the dragon answered with a smile.
"Oh… now I remember," Galeem noted. "You're Medley, the dragon that spends a little bit of time with her sister…"
"Now you know," Medley noted, brushing her wing against Galeem's back spikes. "And there are also a lot of secrets you can learn from me. I like a person who is reminded of hope…"
"Alright…" Galeem sighed. "Just a little clarification, I don't want to be too proud of my powers. Who knows what might happen?" The white-coated dragon then walked off with his new friend, and both Ultima and Phoenix were watching it all. Phoenix, feeling rather heartbroken, slumped down on the bed.
"You said I would be taken one day," Phoenix wept. "Where is that day, sister?" Ultima placed her front paw on her brother's back, understanding how he feels.
"I don't have any real friends either," Ultima confessed. Eventually, she noticed that Phoenix would like at least one other person in his life besides Galeem and herself, and even then... Galeem was starting to become a little too popular. Perhaps he could lend his own siblings a friend once in a while. Suddenly, a bright idea hit Ultima, and she quickly flew out of their room, leaving the door open. After a few minutes, the black-coated dragon with spectrum wings appeared with another female dragon almost her size.
"Medley had been talking about having a sister who dreamed of being recognized by someone, and I think you might be happy about that…" Ultima said. Phoenix sat up on the bed to see a dragon about his age coated in violet diamonds and black snowflakes on her wings.
"Hi," the female dragon sighed. "I'm… Katzen. Pleased to meet you…"
"…Ultima, thank you," Phoenix sighed, having his heart lifted for the first time in a long while. "I've never actually had someone in my life before…"
"And hopefully you resentment of your brother getting all of the good friends in the arena might not get in the way of your relationship with Katzen," Ultima answered.
"She's just all I need for now…" Phoenix answered happily. "Thank you for helping me." With that said, Ultima walked out of her own room, glad that her own brothers have someone most important to take care of in life. Once the hallway quieted down, Sozo and Hakai walked up behind her, ready for another private lesson with her.
"I didn't want to see Phoenix be all miserable," Ultima said.
"We realize what you've done to make you brother better, but was it the right thing?" Sozo asked. As soon as the vision was over, Kirby's mind was transported back into his body back into Gallia.
Kirby woke on top of Inkling's body, unaware of what happened back there. As soon as Fox McCloud walked up to the pink puffball and lifted him off, Clementine quickly jumped up, with no memory of what happened.
"Squoo-by!" the Inkling chirped, being lifted up by Link.
"Are you okay?" Fox asked Kirby. The pink puffball quickly jumped onto the road, nodding that he was alright. Sighing with relief, the current group of gathered fighters was about to approach the city of Electronica again before the watch-like device beeped on Piranha Plant. The carnivorous flower pressed it once, and a transmission from Barbara the Bat appeared.
"Go through the city back to the ruins, and quick!" Barbara said. "There would be no time to explain everything! We've mapped out the World of Light, and there are a group of Shackrabs miles away from your destination!" The transmission then ended.
"Best we get a move-on," the Mii Swordfighter said. Waving his hand to call back his Mii troops, the ex-Swordfighter Ultimate Reborn grabbed Inkling's arm and went with his friends through Electronica.
