Matt (Guest)- Oh right. I thought we were just talking stories that are out now.

Gamelover41592- Thanks.

Okay, time to continue our trek through Another Dimension. Let's see what happens to our heroes next.

"Hey, check it out!" Owen said as he pointed at a second portal that had opened up after the group returned.

"Looks like we aren't done yet," Kirby noted.

"It would seem that Hyness is a bigger fool then we thought," Meta Knight noted.

"You say that like it's a surprise," Dark huffed.

"That guy was whack from the second he opened his mouth," Marx joked.

"Shouldn't we get going?" Owen pointed out.

"Right," Meta Knight agreed as everyone jumped into the second portal.

"Another heart," Owen said as he grabbed it. The wall moved away to reveal another door. This time, it was for staff.

"Didn't you snap one of those in half earlier in our adventure?" Ribbon asked.

"No!" Owen quickly denied. He was still quite heavy from his Total Drama days. Not that he or anyone else minded. After all, more to hug!

"He totally did!" Marx added in. Owen quickly started grumbling, while Kirby just rolled his eyes. Finally, the group reached the end of the room. On this door was a picture of Rick, Kine and Coo.

"I'm guessing we're the leaders now," Rick said.

"Time to show those enemies how it's done!" Coo said as he puffed out his chest.

"Coo…" Kine groaned.

"Um…." Owen said. This time, in order to reach another set of friend hearts, the group had to somehow get a key to a door that was way out of reach.

"How can we not fly and hold the key?" Taranza questioned.

"As we have said several times, this place makes no sense!" Susie huffed, having already made a failed attempt at getting the key to the door. As everyone fought, Rick, Kine and Coo were looking over the landscape. There was a NESP in front of the large to the locked door, but it was too far to make the jump. Rick grabbed the key and waited.

"Maybe we could try throwin' it!" Dedede offered.

"And we miss and it goes in the spikes," Dark pointed out.

"Alright!" Dedede said as he put his hands up. "Just tryin' to offer an idea,"

"Maybe we could throw one of us up!" Marx offered.

"Good idea!" Susie said quickly as she activated her mech suit before chucking Marx at the door. She missed and he hit the spikes.

"Welp! That doesn't work!" Magolor said with a cheeky shrug.

"What the heck was that for?!" Marx asked once he pulled himself out of the spike pit. As the Star Allies fought, the NESP teleported again. It was still out of range.

"For spooking us earlier!" Susie huffed.

"So you're just mad I made you look like a chicken?" Marx taunted.

"Why you-!"

Another teleport.

It was go time.

In one quick motion, Rick ran forward, jumped on NESP's energy blast, jumped on the NESP and reached the ledge. He grabbed all the friend hearts inside before jumping back down. As the animal trio went to exchange high fives with each other, the other Star Allies could only stare at what just happened.

"How….how did you think to do that?" Adeleine asked after a few seconds.

"Well! I just remembered that I could jump on some enemies and I was just waitin' for the dang thing to get into position," Rick explained like it was obvious.

"Perhaps you beasts are more impressive then you appear," Dark said.

"That's an understatement," Magolor said, still gobsmacked.

"No kidding," Owen agreed.

It took Marx a little while to actually get serious when it was his turn to lead. At first, he treated it like a big game, like how he treats everything. Then he almost got himself crushed by kicking a bomb block that was holding up the terrain. After that, he quickly changed his tune. This continued into another enemy gauntlet. It was a lot like the one in Meta Knight's area, only there were pools of water in Marx's.

"This sucks," Taranza groaned as he tried to stay in the water and deal with the enemies.

"Of course you say that," Kine taunted. He liked being more useful then the others.

"Heads up Darkie! There's a friend heart near you!" Marx called out.

"Stop calling me that!" Dark snapped as he grabbed the friend heart.

"Since when did you get so good at giving orders?" Owen asked.

"I….don't know," Marx admitted. A large Bugzzy then spawned in, along with another friend heart. "Guys! Get the heart thing! I'll squish this bug!"

"Whatever you say," Magolor said as he dove after it. Surprisingly, Marx was able to deal with the Bugzzy with little problem and the friend heart(as well as the one that came after it) was grabbed.

"Alright guys! The next door should be around here!" Kirby said as Marx hit another bomb block, revealing more of the landscape. Sure enough, a door was waiting for them.

And had Gooey on it.

"Um...is this a mistake?" Dark asked. "This...thing barely knows his own name!"

"C'mon, Dark!" Owen begged. "You said Rick, Kine and Coo impressed you. Maybe Gooey will too!"

"I like turtles," Gooey said.

"...Very well," Dark groaned reluctantly.

"Gooey! You gotta help us get those friend hearts!" Kirby told him.

"What are those?" Gooey asked.

"Um...those pretty shiny heart things?" Kirby tried.

"Oh those," Gooey said as he entered the door.

"We're doomed," Said quite a few Star Allies.

Gooey was able to keep focus for surprisingly long periods of time. While he still lost focus sometimes, another Star Ally would handle things while Kirby, Owen, Adeleine or Ribbon dealt with Gooey. Gooey, however, did have one thing that surprised many of the Star Allies.

"Since when could he do that!?" Owen exclaimed. Gooey was using the form that looked a lot like Dark Matter, albeit with his Gooey derp face on it. He could also fire lasers. Needless to say, Adeleine and Ribbon looked a little unsure about that, as did Dedede. Dedede, however, was more reactive about it.

"Guys, calm down," Kirby said.

"But I thought ya were kiddin' when ya said he was Dark Matter!" Dedede exclaimed.

"Why would we joke about that!?" Kirby asked.

"Would yer first guess about that thing be that he was Dark Matter?" Dedede asked.

"Do you really think he is a threat?" Kirby deadpanned as he pointed at Gooey licking the wall as Owen tried to get him back on focus

"...Ya make a good point," Dedede admitted.

"Hey, this kinda looks like the place we fought Kracko!" Ribbon realized. "Wait...this looks like the place where we fought KRACKO!"

"Why does that matter?" Marx asked, only for two dark clouds to float in.

"That's why!" Ribbon exclaimed as she pulled out the crystal gun. Parallel Twin Kracko wasn't much different then normal Twin Kracko. Downpours, summoning enemies, lightning strikes, and flying around. They also had a new attack where they fired beams as they floated across the arena. They quickly went down. However, they proceeded to fuse into one big Kracko.

"Oh boy…." Owen said. Parallel Kracko was much harder to deal with then both Twin Kracko and normal Kracko. His new attacks included firing three beams that covered almost the entire arena, rushing across the place(and because of his side, dodging him was tough!), and summoning lightning clouds and winds to push everyone into the lightning. Thankfully, the Star Allies were still able to handle him.

"Ugh, I forgot how much this place was the utter WORST" Susie huffed. She ended up getting blown into quite a few lightning strikes.

"You said it," Coo agreed.

"Hey, we made it, didn't we?" Owen asked.

And that's part two! What will parts 3 and 4 bring? You'll have to wait and see.
