Gamelover41592- Indeed.
Okay, this will be the final chapter of the Squeak Squad arc. Let's get going.
Kirby landed the wrap star and hopped off, Owen following. The Halberd flew in after them.
"I will scout up ahead, but I fear you two will need to defeat Dark Nebula," Meta Knight called from his ship.
"We've got it!" Kirby said as he and Owen raced off.
"You can count on us!" Owen called back.
"I haven't seen UFO in a while," Kirby admitted as he pulled out the ability scroll found it. Of course, Owen has just hopped into one is.
"Wee!" Owen cheered as he flew around, doing tricks with his newfound toy,"
"Owen! I have something for you," Kirby called to him. Owen flew over, causing Kirby to hand him the scroll. A bolt of electricity started circling the craft.
"I gotta get me one of those," Kirby said as he walked off to try and find a UFO of his own.
"Okay, this ghost medal is...finished!" Kirby said as he pressed the final piece of the medal into place. A ghost was then summoned.
"GHOST!" Owen screamed as he dove for cover. Kirby, however, was undaunted, quickly defeating the ghost before sucking it up. This caused him to turn into a ghost.
"Huh, new copy ability I guess," Kirby said as he looked over his new ghost like form. Hearing this caused Owen to peak out, still a little nervous. However, he did laugh a little when he saw that Kirby didn't look much scarier. But there was one thing that was still bothering him.
"Daddy! You said there wouldn't be any ghosts!" Owen protested.
"I didn't know much about the medal Owen, so I was just making a guess," Kirby explained. "Besides, he wasn't that hard to take down,"
"I still don't like ghosts," Owen huffed as he followed after Kirby, who had started moving again
"Boss?" Storo asked. Kirby and Owen had met up with Meta Knight around the time he had found where Daroach had run off to. The Squeaks had insisted on trying to help bring Daroach back. Clearly, they seemed to view themselves as more then just a gang.
"C'mon boss, fight it!"
"Zou are our friend!" Doc begged.
"Your friend was weak!" A darker voice said when Daroach's mouth opened. It clearly wasn't him. "I replaced him for I am Dark Nebula!"
"Oh joy, we haven't heard this enough," Kirby snarked. "Some dark power that is all powerful but doesn't realize that I am about to kick its butt!"
"We," Owen said to his father.
"We are going its butt," Kirby hastily corrected himself.
"You do seem to have quite the track record with that," Meta Knight said.
"That's probably how ya kept kicking our butts," Storo realized.
"Enough of this!" Dark Nebula/Daroach roared. "I am going to destroy you all here and now!" With that, the battle began. Dark Nebula was using all of Daroach's movements, abilities and attacks, but with with Owen(wielding sword), Kirby(Tornado), Meta Knight and the rest of the Squeaks attacking him. Finally, they were able to beat him out of Daroach, who collapsed to the ground.
"BOSS!" The Squeaks cried as they rushed over to him.
"Ugh...what happened?" Daroach groaned as he put a claw to his head.
"You got possessed," Meta Knight said. "You shouldn't have opened that chest. Somethings must be left forgotten for a reason,"
"Yep, never taking anything from your planet ever again," Daraoch said with another groan. Everything hurt.
"No! I must regain my power!" Dark Nebula said as it took the form of a star and flew off.
"We've got to take that thing down!" Owen said Kirby summoned another wrap star.
"Wait!" Daroach ordered. Kirby and Owen turned to face him and he shoved his wand into Kirby's hands.
"You're giving me your wand?" Kirby asked.
"Yes, the Triple Star Cane is powerful," Daroach said as he forced himself into a sitting position. "You should be able to use it to defeat that thing that possessed me!"
"Got it!" Kirby said as he and Owen boarded another wrap star and flew off.
"I am beginning to see why my master hated you so much," Dark Nebula said once Kirby and Owen caught up to it.
"Zero?" Owen asked.
"Yes! You destroyed them all...all but oneā¦," Dark Nebula said, trailing off. "No! He is gone! I defeat you here and now!"
"Wait, if there is one left, who is it?" Kirby asked.
"Isn't it him?" Owen asked.
"But then who is this 'he'?" Kirby asked.
"No one that concerns you! It's not like he can free himself!" Dark Nebula claimed. "But you shouldn't worry about that as I will defeat you here and now!" Despite needing to be sealed away, it was clear that Dark Nebula was not as strong as he was claimed to be. In fact, he went down rather easy. But both Owen and Kirby were left with an unanswered question.
Who was this final Dark Matter?
"Another Dark Matter you say?" Meta Knight said. Once Kirby and Owen returned Daroach's Triple Star Cane, the Squeaks left. As it turned out, what Kirby and Owen found in Ice Island was their base and their ship ...still looked a lot like Daroach. Either way, they left to go look for treasure elsewhere. Meta Knight also offered them a lift home aboard the Halberd, which the duo had accepted with pleasure. This all gave them a chase to reveal what Dark Nebula had said.
"Yep and he mentioned something about it not being able to be freed?" Kirby added in.
"I don't think it's Gooey...is it?" Owen asked.
"Gooey doesn't seem to even know his name. I doubt it could be him," Meta Knight said. "However, this is something to be concerned about,"
"But if he is sealed, wouldn't someone not want to unseal him?" Owen asked.
"Yeah!" Kirby added. "You would have to be crazy to unseal a Dark Matter on purpose!"
At the edge of the galaxy, a certain nutjob sneezed.
"You make a valid point," Meta Knight agreed. "Daroach did not realize what was inside that chest, but we should still keep this in our minds, if only at the back,"
"You got it Meta!" Kirby said while Owen gave a thumbs up.
"It still stinks we couldn't get our cake back," Owen whined as he and Kirby returned.
"Yeah, but we could always make-" Kirby stopped when he opened the door and saw what was left on his table.
His and Owen's pieces of cake!
"YAY!" Owen cheered as he grabbed his and started eating.
"Hey, look the Squeaks left a note," Kirby said as he pulled himself up from his own cake.
Dear Owen and Kirby,
You can call this an apology for all the trouble we caused. And a thank you for saving Daroach. If you ever need a hand, don't hesitate to call,
The Squeak Squad
Okay, so anyone who has played this game knows that the battle with Dark Nebula is...very easy. While I did keep that aspect here, he gets to have more relevance by giving Owen and Kirby their first hints that they haven't gotten rid of all (evil) Dark Matter in the galaxy yet. Also, bonus Hyness cameo! Next time...either random fluff or we start Return to Dreamland.
