Vaati and Dark Mind's Palace.
Ribbon sits in her small cage sadly and worried about Kirby and the other heroes as Meta Knight and Queen Ripple looked sad at seeing how
Ribbon is uncomfortable in her cage.
"Oh Kirby, wherever you and the others are, please hurry. This cage is very cramped." Ribbon sadly muttered as she tried to make herself comfortable which is impossible.
"Don't worry Ribbon. Have faith in Kirby and Toon Link, they're still alive and well. They will come and rescue us out of here." Queen Ripple spoke in comfort.
"Sword and Blade Knight won't ever give up, when it comes to rescuing me. I'm pretty sure Kirby, Toon Link and the others have rescued three Maidens right now." Meta Knight said.
"Phew. I'm glad Kirby is alright. We'll get out of here in no time."
Meanwhile with Dark Mind, Dark Meta Knight and Vaati.
"Those pesky so-called heroes will learn to admit defeat sooner or later." Vaati said as he held Toon Zelda in place.
"That's what you think Vaati! Toon Link and the heroes will defeat you and end this once and for all!" Toon Zelda shouted.
"He! Don't make me laugh princess! Those heroes just got lucky, but this time we will destroy them!" Dark Meta Knight taunted.
"But first, which monsters should we send to dispose of those insects!?" Dark Mind questioned looking at his minions.
"ME ME ME! LET ME DESTROY THOSE RODENTS!" a monster yelled out.
"NO ME, I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO EAT THEM!" yelled another demon.
"Actually. Let me do the honors, Lord Vaati, Lord Dark Meta Knight and Lord Dark Mind. Since, those pest bested me back at the swamp in the grave and are headed to the haunted castle. I should be the one considering dark places is my turf!" Big Poe grinned evilly.
"And me too! They are heading for the Moonlight Mansion which is also my turf, I will crush them to bones!" King Golem laughed.
"Very well, Big Poe and King Golem! Make sure that Kirby and Toon Link don't survive and are finally vanquish for good!" Vaati ordered.
"Thanks my Lord. I promise to not fail you no matter what it takes!" Big Poe evilly laughed, before disappearing with King Golem.
"Looks like Kirby, Toon Link and the other Heroes are finally history! Haa Haa Haa Haa!" Dark Meta Knight evilly laughed along with Dark Mind and Vaati.
Unknownest to them Shadow Kirby was watching them with a hint of regret on his face.
"Kirby, Toon Link and Heroes. Please forgive me, but if I were to disobey them, it will be the end of my life." Shadow Kirby thought sadly.
Suddenly Shadow Link came up to Shadow Kirby making him jump in fright.
"Wha! W-What are you doing here!?" Shadow Kirby stuttered hoping Shadow Link didn't notice the guilt on his look.
"Why do you look so sad, Shadow Kirby?" Shadow Link asked crossing his arms.
"I-I am not s-sad at all." Shadow Kirby lied, Shadow Link was not buying it.
"Yes you are. I can see it. You don't have to hide it, Shadow Kirby because I hate taking orders from those guys as well, but Ganon was the one who created me and if I disobey him, I am dead." Shadow Link explained as best as he could.
Shadow Kirby was taken by surprise at this revelation. "Wow, so I guess we're two of a kind then, Shadow Link." Shadow Kirby spoke.
"Let's keep this a secret between you and me until the heroes somehow make it here alright?" Shadow Link asked bringing his hand out.
"Alright Shadow Link." Shadow Kirby said shaking his hand. "But now, we must held back to the light world and defeat the heroes."
With that Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby disappeared into the Light World.
Back with the Heroes.
The Heroes returned to Dedede and Hyrule Castle only to find it was remodeled into a haunted mansion and darkness swirling all over it.
"Oh my. W-What happened here? The castle looks like a ghost town." Young Link lamented in shock at this.
"I-I'm afraid the castle has been taken over by the darkness." Prince Fluff whimpered.
"Oh, those guys are so gonna pay for this!" Minda growled.
"I couldn't agree more! That's my castle they're taking over, they will be sorry they ever crossed my path!" King Dedede shouted angrily.
"Well, we better go inside and undo this." Toon Link said.
With that the heroes wandered around the castle avoiding the searchlights that moved around looking for intruders.
"Guys, whatever you do stay quiet, no matter what." Zelda whispered as the heroes stayed quietly.
Unfortunately Blue Toon Link accidentally knocked a pot over breaking it and making a loud noise, causing the searchlights to spot them and sound an alarm.
"Oops." Blue Toon Link nervously spoke knowing it's his fault.
"Thanks a lot Blue." Toon Link sarcastically said.
Minutes later the heroes found themselves in jail where it was dark and gloomy.
"Great. Now we're in jail and it smells in here." Linkie complained.
"Quit complaining and help us find a way out." Taranza said looking for a way out.
"Found a switch." Green Kirby said pressing the switch and opening the cell.
"Freedom!" Coo cheered flying out of the cell.
"Now let's go, we got a world to save." Gooey said.
The Heroes escaped from the jail then wandered outside the castle fighting enemies like Spear Waddles, Keese, Batties, and brainwashed Sword Knights and avoiding the searchlights before entering the castle where it was a ghost infestations.
"Uh-oh. It's really haunted in here." Rick whimpered in fear
"That's because the ghost and the darkness is flooding up the castle." Linkie said.
"Let's light up the place." Adeleine said lighting up half of the castle with the candles.
"Good. Now, we can all see." Bandana Waddle Dee cheered.
The heroes then collected all of the Force Gems, but as soon as they were getting closer to the arena a large stone like being came crashing down to the ground glaring at them. It was a Golem. (Not the Pokemon one)
"It's a Golem! Be careful everyone, those things are strong!" Kirby warned as the Golem attempted to crush the heroes, only for them to quickly move out of the way.
"Alright take this!" Skull Kid yelled sending his magic blast at the Golem destroying it.
The heroes entered the arena, only to find nothing there but darkness.
"Huh? There's nothing here, strange." Red Toon Link remarked.
"Maybe the guardian knew we were tough and decided to just chicken out." Link snickered.
"That's what you think, but you're wrong." said a familiar voice.
"That voice w-wait don't tell that…" Sword Knight was cut off.
"Yep. I'm back and ready to dispose of you pesky so-called heroes once and for all." Big Poe evilly grinned as he appeared.
"But that's impossible! We defeated you back in the swamp!" Purple Toon Link shouted in disbelief.
"True. But however, I faked being destroyed and waited for you insects to enter my haunted lair where you all will die! Hee hee hee hee hee!" Big Poe cackled.
"That's right heroes! This will be a place of your doom!" King Golem threatened as he appeared alongside Big Poe.
"Looks like we have two powerful guardians to defeat!" Link said getting out his sword.
"This is going to be tough!" Zelda growled.
"Hoo hoo hoo! I'm so gonna enjoy consuming the Kirbies and Toon Links souls for my dinner!" Big Poe evilly laughed, sending shiver spines to the Kirbies and Toon Links.
"Y-You're insane! No way you're eating our souls!" Red Kirby shrieked.
"We will take you down and send you to the afterlife!" Blue Toon Link snarled getting his sword out.
"Kirbies and Toon Links you guys handle Big Poe. Magolor, Marx, Aryll, Rick, Coo, Kine, Young Link, Link, Ruto, King Dedede, Bandana Dee, Adeleine, Sword Knight, Blade Knight, Skull Kid, Taranza, Gooey, and I will handle King Golem.
"ME SMASH HEROES! ME DESTROY HEROES!" King Golem roared slamming his hands down on the heroes, which they immediately dodged.
"Alright! Let's get him!" Link shouted charging at the rock monster.
Heroes vs Big Poe and King Golem
"Hee hee hee! Time to put you brats in your place!" Big Poe cackled blowing out the fire making it dark.
The Kirbies used the Copy Essence Deluxe to gain the Fire Ability and blew flames at the candles lighting up the room.
"Now, we can defeat this evil ghost!" Toon Link grinned.
Then the Kirbies and Toon Links pummeled Big Poe until he began to inhale them into his ghostly stomach much to the Heroes horror.
"NO! TOON LINK AND KIRBY!" Zelda screamed in terror.
"Looks like those pests have met their match. Now, it's your turn!" King Golem shouted sending Golems out from his mouth.
"Fight!" Bandana Dee shouted, throwing his spears at the Golems.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Coo yelled as a Golem did an uppercut at him.
"Hey! No one uppercuts my friend like that!" Kine angrily yelled shooting water beams at the Golem softening them up.
"Good going. Now let's finish them off!" King Dedede shouted swinging his mallet at the Golems into the King Golem angering him.
Three Golem, Ghinis and Poes surrounded Zelda, Linkie, Minda, Aryll, and Ruto, only to get tagged teamed by them.
"The power of teamwork never fails." Minda giggled.
Me no like you, me kill you!" King Golem roared as he held his stone hand in the air to smash the heroes, only to be softened out by Kine.
"Now's our chance! Destroy him!" Zelda shouted using her din's fire at King Golem's body crumbling it.
"Uh-oh. Not good." King Golem muttered.
"See you later, stone freak!" Young Link laughed slicing King Golem defeating him.
"Way to go, guys! Now all we gotta do is defeat Big Poe!" Adeleine yelled.
"Too late! You pathetic heroes, I already consumed your friends souls and I'm about to do the same to you!" Big Poe threatened.
"GRR! YOU ARE SO GONNA PAY FOR THAT REAL BAD!" Young Link roared lighting up the candles again making Big Poe solid once more.
"I've had it with you pesky insects! Take this!" Big Poe snarled getting out his scythe and slashing at the Heroes.
More Ghinis and Poes and Golem appeared.
Two Golems rolled at Prince Fluff who jumped out of the way making them ram each other instead. One Poe tried to possess Aryll, but was stopped by Linkie who slashed the Poe defeating it. Marx kicked his circus ball at three Ghinis sending them away.
"Man, there's too many of them." Sword Knight yelled slashing a Golem that tried to punch him.
"Ahh! Let go of me!" Zelda screamed as four Poes where carrying her.
"Get your ghostly hands off the princess!" Link shouted as he threw his boomerang at the Poes making them drop Zelda as Magolor and Taranza caught her.
King Dedede, Ruto and Minda were duking it out with Big Poe.
"Give up, insects! You don't stand a ghost of a chance!" snickered Big Poe as he was slashing at them.
"That's what you think, ghost freak!" Ruto spat sending water blasts at Big Poe.
Suddenly Big Poe started to feel pain inside of his stomach.
"What's going on, why is my stomach in pain!?" Big Poe screeched holding his stomach.
"King Dedede cracked up in laughter. "Haha! You should really watch what you eat Big Poe!"
Inside Big Poe's stomach the Links and Kirbies were wandering inside where the core was.
"Eww! Gross! It's so disgusting in here!" Red Toon Link complained.
"Let's defeat the heart and get out of here!" Yellow Kirby shouted.
As the Kirbies and Toon Links were pummeling the core of Big Poe destroying it and freeing them.
"Noooo! Cursed Heroes! How could I be defeated!" Big Poe screamed before exploding.
"Hooray! We beat them! Red Kirby cheered as he collected all of the Force Gems.
The heroes then ran to the crystal where the maiden was trapped inside as they destroyed the barriers freeing the maiden.
As the crystal lighten the White Maiden was revealed as she spoke: "Heroes… Thank you. You carry my hopes with you...as well as all of Hyrule and Dreamland's."
"We were happy to help rescue you White Maiden." Aryll said.
"It's what we do." Minda added.
"Wait… is that the blue royal jewel you all carry? How did you come by it?" She asked noticing the jewel.
"We came across the Knight of Hyrule back at the fields." Purple Toon Link replied.
"Is that so? The Knights of Hyrule… So even the jewels are now… Heroes, all we can do is put our faith in the light and press on, overcoming each obstacle that confronts us." White Maiden said.
"That's right! No obstacle can stop us!" Kirby scoffed.
"We're getting closer to rescuing Toon Zelda by the minute." Navi said.
"My forest has lost its light. Darkness covers it like a shroud." Light Blue Maiden explained sadly. The heroes widen their eyes in horror.
"Oh no! That's not good!" Rick shrieked.
"We have to save it and fast!" Gooey shouted.
"Heroes, will you all go to the forest? Perhaps you will find some clues there. In the heart of the forest is a temple. The Dark Mirror can be found there." She revealed surprising everyone.
"D-Dark Mirror what's that?" Link asked.
"I'll explained everything long ago, a dark tribe invaded Hyrule. They were defeated and imprisoned within the mirror. The tribe's mirror prison was then secreted away and hidden in the forest temple to sever its connection to this world. That Dark Mirror must never fall into the hands of those with evil hearts." Zelda explained.
"Uh-oh, you don't think Dark Meta Knight took it do you?" King Dedede nervously asked.
"Heroes! The mirror is a danger in anyone's hands but yours. No one else can be trusted. Retrieve the Dark Mirror from the palace, and keep it until our Princess Zelda from this world is safe. Please. You all are the only ones we can depend on…" White Maiden begged.
"Depending on us? Don't worry you can depend on the Great King Dedede, because we fight evil threats that stands in our way!" King Dedede scoffed.
"Now, let's rescue the other people." Green Kirby said.
"First, let us proceed to the forest." Light Blue Maiden said.
"Looks like we're making it so far in the adventure." Toon Link cheered.
"Oh and here's the piece of the mirror, Kirby." White Maiden offered, giving Kirby the mirror piece.
"Hooray! Thank you White Maiden! Now, we got the five pieces of the mirror!" Kirby cheered.
"Now, there's three more to go!" Yellow Kirby also cheered.
With that the heroes were transported out of the temple.
