Guest: Shiver Star possibly being a post-apocalyptic Earth(shown from Owen not liking it and not knowing why).

Gamelover41592: Hey, it's Kirby. You gotta have some cute moments in between all the nightmare fuel

Okay, time to help get Ripple Star back to normal. Let's get going.

"It's just like home!" Owen noticed. Ripple Star did bare many similarities to Popstar.

"Yeah, but everything feels...wrong," Dedede said.

"No kidding, it feels like everything is twisted," Adeleine agreed.

"Dark Matter did this! It's corrupting everything!" Ribbon wailed, close to tears yet again.

"Hang in there, Ribbon. We are going to fix everything," Kirby reassured her.

"Okay, I'll believe in you guys," Ribbon said.

"It really is just like home," Kirby mused as the group continued to travel towards the castle.

"Yeah, just with worse monsters," Dedede deadpanned as he batted away a Ghost Knight from another shard, which Ribbon quickly grabbed.

"Guys, I think we only have a few left!" Ribbon cheered.

"So that crystal could get rid of Dark Matter, right?" Dee asked.

"I hope so!" Ribbon said.

"Well, let's finish getting them and find out!" Kirby said.

"Yeah!" Owen agreed with his dad.

"Everyone get out of the way!" Kirby cried as he turned into a spiky bomb and flung himself at a rock, revealing yet another shard.

"Hey, why does that spike bomb thing look like one of my gordos?" Dedede asked.

"I don't know," Kirby admitted. "I guess it just goes something I see a lot,"

"Maybe because it's black like a bomb and all spiky," Owen offered.

"I mean that could be it," Kirby replied.

"Guys! I can see the castle from here!" Ribbon called out.

"Let's move!" Adeleine said.

"So I'm guessin' we can't just use the front door?" Dedede said as the group looked over the castle.

"No, Dark Matter will have us swarmed in seconds," Ribbon said.

"Then how do we get in?" Dee asked.

"How about down here?" Owen said as he pointed down a well.

"That could work," Ribbon said.

"Then what are we waiting for?!" Kirby said as he dove into the well, everyone following after him.

"What an incredible smell ya've discovered, Owen," Dedede snarked as he covered his nose. The well turned out to have lead to the sewers.

"I almost would prefer Dark Matter," Adeleine added in, holding her own nose.

"Guys, the faster we find the shards and get into the castle, the less time we spend down here," Kirby pointed out.

"Yeah, stop complaining if you don't want to smell it," Ribbon added in.

"Fine, let's just go," Dedede groaned as he used his hammer to push away some sewage.

"Great, this blasted place is a maze!" Dedede complained. It took a while, but the group quickly realized that they had seen some places several times.

"Why is this place so big!?" Owen wailed, now regretting his idea of looking down the well.

"I have no idea!" Ribbon replied. "The queen designed this place,"

"Maybe it was meant to keep intruders out?" Dee offered.

"That clearly worked," Dedede snarked.

"Dedede, be nice. You don't have the best track record with Dark Matter either," Kirby pointed out.

"Hey! Lay off! I'm helpin' ya, ain't I?" Dedede replied.

"Let's just keep moving," Adeleine said with a sigh.

"We made it!" Owen cheered. The group had finally reached the castle, much to their relief.

"Don't cheer yet, there could still be enemies!" Dee pointed out.

"Then lets smash 'em!" Dedede declared. As if on cue, enemies appeared.

"You jinxed it," Adeleine deadpanned as she pulled out her paintbrush.

"Sorry for gettin' excited!" Dedede replied.

"GREAT CAESAR SALAD! WHAT IS THAT!?" Owen wailed at the...thing that was in front of them. It looked like a white icosahedron with eyes on each of its faces. And it could use all of Kirby's copy abilities and could only be damaged by whatever one it used.

"Seems like Dark Matter is getting smarter," Kirby noted as he sucked up ball of fire and shot it back at the thing.

"WHY ARE YOU SAYIN' THAT SO CALMLY!?" Dedede cried.

"Because so I am I!" Kirby replied as he launched yet another one of the thing's attacks back.

"Let's defeat the bad guy!" Owen said as he threw another attack back.

"But what can we do?" Dee asked.

"Keep hittin' that thing's attacks back!" Dedede ordered as he used his hammer to knock an ice shard into the thing. Finally, it exploded and the Dark Matter that had come with it fled Ripple Star before exploded.

"We did it!" Adeleine cheered.

"Let's head back out. I'm sure the queen will want to meet you guys!" Ribbon said.

"She's real pretty," Dedede said in a trance like state as the Queen walked over the group. Dee started waving his stub arm in front of Dedede in hopes of snapping him out of the trance he was in.

"Great King! Are you okay!?" Dee asked.

"I'm just fine, Dee," Dedede assured him. Suddenly, the reformed Crystal fired a blast at the Queen, revealing that not all the Dark Matter had been expelled from the planet. It retreated to a nearby part of space, looming over Ripple Star menacingly.

"What do we do now?!" Ribbon cried.

"I have an idea!" Kirby said as he pulled out his warp phone and quickly summoned a Warp Star. "C'mon!"

"Let's go!" Owen cheered as he jumped on after his dad. The rest quickly jumped on as well and the group flew towards the Dark Matter, not sure what would happen next. Only knowing that Dark Matter had to be stopped.

So yeah, this was why I had that question mark next to four. I was trying to keep the twist a secret in case any of you didn't know. Anyways, see you guys next time for the TRUE final level, Dark Star.
