The Heroes were heading towards the Desert Temple and Radish Ruins much to the Kirbies and Toon Links surprise the place looked like a jungle filled with sand as they were both merged together.
"Wow. Dark Mind sure did a perfect job mirroring and changing the Radish Ruins last time we been here. Green Kirby remarked as he looked around the ruins.
"Tell me about it. I barely even recognize the place anymore." Kirby added.
"Well, let's enter, standing around isn't going to solve anything." Toon Link said.
As the heroes entered the ruins full of strange statues and sand and it looked like it wasn't gonna be easy due to there being almost no doors.
"Oh man. This sure ain't gonna be easy mate." Rick groaned.
"This Desert Temple is like a maze." Prince Fluff said in annoyance.
"True on that. And Radish Ruins is no joke whatsoever." Yellow Kirby added.
"Guess we're gonna have to travel around this ruins the hard way if we wanna save the maiden and the Zeldas and Ribbon." Purple Toon Link suggested.
"Alright then, let's go then." Blue Toon Link said.
The heroes wandered around the ruins fighting enemies like Geldmen, Flamers, Sparkies, Terrorpins, and Eyegores.
As the heroes move forward there were dangerous enemies and obstacles like Gordos, Beamos, Anti Fairies, and Shotzos.
"Watch out guys! Those Shotzos are invincible and pretty dangerous so watch out!" Gooey warned.
"And the same goes for the Beamos. If those things see you they will fire lasers at you!" Young Link also warned.
The heroes then quietly sneaked past the Beamos and Shotzos trying to not be detected. Unfortunately a Shotzos noticed Ruto then fired a cannon ball at her, luckily Sword Knight noticed it coming and sliced up the ball canceling it out.
However, this caught the attention of more Shotzos and Beamos as they began firing at the heroes.
"You have got to be kidding me." Link growled.
"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Please don't shoot at me!" Red Toon Link cried dodging every projectile that was fired at him.
"Oh will you man up for once!?" Blue Toon Link rudely spat as he and the heroes ran out of the room.
"Boy. This isn't gonna be easy." Marx grumbled.
"True, but we all have to keep going Marx. Every second counts you know." Magolor spoke.
The room the heroes entered was filled with Eyegores, Golems, Flamers, Rockies, and large stone monsters known as Big Rockies.
"Let's get those things, if we wanna pass." Adeleine said using her magic paintbrush on the two Golems.
Kirby inhaled a Flamer gaining a new ability for him and his Kirby buddies as the ability looked similar to the fire ability, but Kirby had two fireballs on his arms. He was now Burning Kirby.
"Cool! Let's see if this ability can come in handy!" Kirby smiled as he turned into a fireball and plowed through several Eyegores that tried to grab him destroying them.
"Hey! What the-!? Blue Toon Link's sword was stolen by a small yellow creature which had an onion like body. It was a Droopy as it swallowed his sword transforming into a pink Sword Knight much to Blue Toon Link's surprise.
The pink Sword Knight swiped his sword at Blue Toon Link in a faster pace than usual as the young blue hero immediately avoided the slash.
"Whoa! Watch it pal! And give me back my sword!" Blue Toon Link snarled getting his hammer out smashing the Droopy getting his sword back. "Good to have my sword back."
Link, Young Link and the Toon Links fired their arrows at the Eyegores destroying them.
Yellow, Red and Green Kirby used the Copy Essence Deluxe to gain the burning ability and plow at the Flamers incinerating them.
"These Golems are pretty strong!" Linkie shouted avoiding a Golem that tried to crush her in time then slashed her sword multiple times at the rock monster vanquishing it.
Gooey was surrounded by Giant Rockies that were closing in on him and were about to crush him, luckily Ruto used her water powers to drench the rock monsters destroying them.
The heroes then vanquished the monsters and moved forward into the ruins avoiding the Anti Fairies and Eyegores.
"Wow. This Desert Temple and Radish Ruins is sure loaded with monsters." Taranza said.
All of sudden, creatures like Bang-Bangs, Bombers, Boxins, Bronto Burts, Chips, Droppies, Flamers, Foleies, Golems, Gordos, Haley, Heavy Knight, Hot Heads, and Moldorms to appear right before the heroes eyes.
"Man! That's a lot of monsters!" Coo shouted.
"How are we ever gonna beat so many monsters like that!?" King Dedede asked in panic.
"Simple. It's like this." Red Kirby spoke before inhaling the Bang Bang enemies gaining the Missile Ability before transforming into an actual missile and launching at several monsters destroying them.
Then a Cookin enemy entered the area before Green Kirby noticed it before inhaling it becoming Cook Kirby.
"Hey. I love this ability. I'm a chief." Green Kirby cheered before sucking the monsters into the pot turning them into food as the heroes ate them.
"Wow. Thanks Kirbies. Once again, I'm glad to have you guys with us on the adventure." Toon Link smiled hugging Kirby.
"I'm glad to be on this adventure with you as well Toon Link." Kirby also smiled hugging Toon Link.
"But this adventure as come to an end for you pesky fools." said a green personified fighter jet creature wearing antique, old fashioned aviator clothing consisting of a cream colored scarf and an orange flight helmet with a star design on it swooped down from the ceiling facing the heroes.
"And who might you be?" Skull Kid asked raising an eyebrow.
"My name is Bombar the leader of the Shootys and I cannot allow you heroes to interfere with Lord Vaati and Lord Dark Mind's plans. So I suggest you so-called heroes turn back or be destroyed." Bombar threatened.
"Listen here rocket mouth! We really don't have time to deal with your insignificant games, so please leave us alone because we have a mission to finish!" King Dedede furiously spat.
"Like what!? Rescue your so-called girlfriend from Ripple Star!? Let me make it clear for you penguins and fairies don't mix and even if they do, I highly doubt you know anything about romance!" Bombar smirked as everyone gasped.
King Dedede gasped the loudest as his face turned red at that insult. "EXCUSE ME!? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, YOU ENORMOUS JERK!? I'M KING DEDEDE THE RULER OF DREAMLAND AND I'M ABOUT TO SMASH YOUR METAL BODY TO OBLIVION!" King Dedede exploded as a tick mark was on his forehead (anime style).
"I beg to differ on that." Bombar rolled his eyes. "By the way, could you two be Kirby and Toon Link?" He asked turning his attention towards the two young heroes.
"Well Captain oblivious! As far as I can tell, yes I am." Kirby answered.
"And my name is Link. But, usually people call me Toon Link." Toon Link replied.
"Oh goody and these are your friends from different timelines what a surprise. Guess I'm gonna have some real fun destroying you meddling fools!" Bombar grinned as his minions joined the fray.
(Heroes vs Bombar)
"Shootys attack!" Bombar ordered as the Shootys swooped down at the heroes.
"Watch out you guys!" Bandana Waddle Dee called out as he avoided the bombs the Shootys dropped on him.
"You Shootys don't know who you're up against!" Skull Kid shouted as he twirled into the air and fired his magic blast at the Shootys knocking them out.
Three Shootys made an advance towards Blade Knight who was busy deflecting the lasers with his sword and they fired their lasers at him. Luckily Sword Knight came just in time and deflected the lasers back at the Shootys blowing them up.
"Don't be blasting my friend while his back is turned you sneaks!" Sword Knight snarled.
Four Shootys pinned Kirby down on the ground as he struggled to break free, then they began to fire lasers at the helpless Star Warrior as he began to scream in pain from every painful shot. This angered the Kirbies and Toon Links as they tackled the Shootys off of Kirby and started pummeling the jet fighter monsters.
"Thanks guys. I needed that." Kirby said as Yellow Kirby gave him a Maximum Tomato.
"No problem Kirby." Red Kirby smiled.
A Shooty rammed into King Dedede, only for him to catch it by surprise by countering it with his mallet sending it into the wall.
"You call that a hit? Try again next time." King Dedede scoffed.
Link kicked a Shootys into Young Link who kicked it into Linkie who used her sword to slice it in half.
"That's some good teamwork!" Link laughed high-fiving Young Link and Linkie.
"Get off me you creeps!" Bandana Dee screamed as six Shootys had him pinned down on the floor.
"Let go of him!" Magolor shouted as he and Taranza used their magic powers on the Shootys sending them flying.
"You little rats! Take this!" Bombar shouted as he launched several missiles at the heroes.
"Get out of the way!" Aryll shouted as she and everyone dodged as many missiles as they can.
Coo used his wings to blow the missiles away from the heroes on the ground.
Purple Toon Link jumped into the air then down thrust on Bombar's back making the fighter jet creature roar in pain.
"You little rats! Get off me!" Bombar hissed tossing Vio off of him onto Toon Link.
Bombar then dropped bombs on the heroes who frantically avoided the deadly bombs.
Red Kirby transformed into a missile again then launched at Bombar who avoided the attack.
"You missed me idiot!" Bombar mocked.
"I'm afraid you spoke too soon hot shot, so look again!" King Dedede smirked.
"Huh? What do you mea- OOF!" Bombar yelped as Red Kirby impacted on him from behind catching him off guard and knocking him to the sandy ground.
"Time to finish you off!" Adeleine smirked as she summoned a painting version of Ice Dragon then blow ice breath at the fighter jet monster freezing him solid.
"Say goodbye!" King Dedede shouted as he leaped into the air and smashed Bombar inside the ice block destroying him.
"Finally! That's a load off my back." Blue Toon Link sighed in relief.
"Before we move on, we're gonna have to heal first." Adeleine said summoning lots of healing items for everyone.
The heroes took all of the healing items healing up all of their wounds.
"Smart thinking Adeleine. You sure are helpful." Blade Knight.
"Thanks for your support, Blade Knight. I'm always glad to help my friends." Adeleine smiled while blushing.
The heroes moved forward into the Radish Ruins knocking out Harleys in their way as they move on.
"It looks like we're almost out of here." Prince Fluff remarked as he knocked out sand monsters known as Geldmen that tried to pull him into the quicksand.
After the heroes exited the ruins outside much to their surprise was Meta Knight or is it?
"Heh heh heh. It sure took you guys long enough to get here." Meta Knight spoke.
"Meta Knight I cannot believe it! It's really you!" Kirby cheered hugging the warrior.
"Sir Meta Knight it's a miracle! We actually thought you were captured by Dark Meta Knight!" Sword and Blade Knight said at the same time.
"How did you manage to escape?" Link asked.
Meta Knight seemed froze at that question. "I-I fought my way out of the cell and escaped." he quickly answered.
Purple Toon Link looked very suspicious at him. "Wait a second! Isn't it odd that you seem to be unharmed considering that there are tons of monsters in that place!?"
"Yeah! Even Meta Knight himself can't take on all of those monsters!" Green Kirby spat.
"Very clever, Purple Toon Link and Green Kirby! You found me out! I'm not the Meta Knight you know!" Meta Knight smirked.
"A-Are y-you D-Dark Meta Knight?" Yellow Kirby shivered.
"Maybe. NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU HEROES TO DIE!" Meta Knight hissed.
(Heroes vs ?)
The evil imposter lunged at Linkie with blinding speed and slashed at her immediately knocking her out much to everyone else's horror.
"OH NO! LINKIE!" Young Link shrieked as he quickly ran to her aid.
"Wahahahaha! That's one down! A lot more to go!" ? laughed evilly.
"YOU MONSTER! TELL ME WHERE ZELDA IS!" Link roared angrily lunging at ?, only for the imposter to counter with the Galaxia Sword injuring him severely.
"Oh no! He's too strong! What the heck are we going to do!?" Aryll panicked.
"Simple. You die!" ? answered as he flew to stab Aryll as she braced for impact, thankfully Coo the Owl manage to fly her to safety from ?'s deadly blade.
"How dare you try to kill a sweet little girl!" Ruto shouted angrily, if anything upsets her then most evil villains was them hurting young children as she did a roundhouse kick at ? while he was off guard sending him flying and hitting the ground.
"Nobody stabs my sister and gets away with it!" Toon Link snarled as he smashed ? as hard as he could with his hammer making the imposter grunt in pain as he was about to smash him again, until the knight quickly low sweeper his leg knocking the young hero on the ground.
"You little ugly Zora! NOW YOU'RE GONNA GET IT!" ? roared as he flew to where Ruto was and tried to land a slash at her as she swiftly avoided the jabs.
"It's time for you to pay for what you did to Ribbon!" Kirby angrily shouted as he got his sword and slashed at ? who intercepted with his Galaxia.
"Foolish hero! Are you still mourning for your so-called girlfriend!? Too bad! You'll never see her again!" ? mocked angering the pink hero more.
"I will never forgive you, DARK META KNIGHT!" Kirby suddenly shouted then final cutter at him knocking him backwards a little.
"Let's get him guys!" Yellow Kirby ordered as the heroes started pummeling ? who was weakened from Toon Link's assault as King Dedede smashed his hammer at ?'s mask cracking it slightly as Red, Blue and Purple Toon Link slashed ? multiple times as Gooey grabbed him with his tongue before slamming him down on the ground, then Young Link in his Goron form slammed his muscular hands on ?.
"Argh! H-How!? T-T-This is ridiculous! How could I lose to a bunch of puny heroes!?" ? screamed in frustration.
"Only one who is puny is you!" Adeleine mocked. Now tell us where Ribbon and Meta Knight are!"
"I'm not telling you anything!" ? spat.
Suddenly ?'s mask broke as his color began to fade into dark revealing him to be Dark Meta Knight.
"You may have won this battle! But next time we meet you're all dead!" Dark Meta Knight threatened before fleeing as a mirror piece fell into Kirby's hands.
"Yes! That's six pieces! Two more to go!" Kirby cheered.
"As. And we were hoping that was Sir Meta Knight. Sword Knight signed in disappointment.
"Don't worry Sword. Once we get there we will rescue our friends." Toon Link said in comfort.
The heroes then moved on.
