Gamelover41592: I doubt it is going to stay that way.
Alright guys, time for the third dimension.
As per the norm with Another Dimension, more puzzles hid more Friend Hearts. This one, though, was making Rick question some life choices.
"Kirbs, ya gotta be more careful!" Rick complained. Using ESP, Kirby was maneuvering Rick around some lava to reach and Kirby had very nearly gotten him hit.
"Sorry Rick!" Kirby called out. Finally, Kirby reached a stake, which he dropped Rick onto. The hamster grabbed the Friend Heart and jumped down.
"Not doin' that again," Rick said. Another puzzle was waiting for the group that was very similar to the last. "Nope! Don't look at me!"
"Look at me," Gooey said.
"I mean, that works," Owen pointed out.
"Okay Gooey, turn to stone," Kirby said. Gooey did what he was told and Owen started to maneuver him through. Being extra careful, Owen managed to reach another stake and get Gooey to the Friend Hearts waiting. Once they managed to get Gooey to return to them, they found another door, with Adeleine and Ribbon on it this time.
"Wait, we have to lead?!" Adeleine exclaimed.
"You guys can do it," Owen assured them.
"But this place is crazy!" Ribbon protested.
"Hey, you helped me take down 02 so I think you can handle this place," Kirby said with confidence.
"If you say so," Adeleine said. Ribbon just nodded as they headed inside.
"What is this obstacle?" Dark asked. It was a random diamond structure
"Told you this place made no sense whatsoever," Magolor replied. Adeleine, for her part, was quiet, studying the diamond.
"You okay, Addie?" Ribbon asked.
"I'm fine, Ribbon," Adeleine assured her. "I'm just studying this thing. I feel like it's going to be important,"
"If you say so," Ribbon said.
"Hey! I found another door!" Owen called out. Everyone raced in, with Adeleine trailing. What they found was a very similar looking structure.
"This place is bein' weirder then the last time we came," Dedede huffed. As everyone else wondered what to do, Adeleine destroyed two blocks near the top of the structure. This caused two shutters to open, giving access to a treasure chest with another Friend Heart inside.
"How did you know that would happen?" Taranza asked.
"I noticed that if I got rid of those two blocks, it would look the same as the one outside, so I took a wild guess," Adeleine said with a shrug.
"Another one of these things?" Dee questioned. This time, the shape was a heart. A few other Star Allies tried to study over it, but most just let Adeleine do her work. Inside the next room was a similar structure, but with some extra blocks again, some of which were on fire.
"Okay, gotta be a little more careful," Adeleine said to herself. Making sure to only put certain fire blocks out, while destroying others. Yet again, she got the perfect shape, along with a chest with Friend Hearts.
"Okay, how are you so good at this?" Marx questioned.
"Artist's touch," Adeleine said.
"I thought that was doodling on people's faces," Storo said.
"No, that's just something I do when Marx is being annoying," Adeleine replied, drawing laughter and a glare from Marx.
"This is quite the upgrade from a heart," Daroach noted. This time, the shape in question was a whale with water blowing out of its spout.
"No kidding," Adeleine agreed.
"You can do this Addie!" Ribbon cheered.
"I hope I can," Adeleine mumbled under her breath. Once she had gotten a good look at it, she entered through the door. The whale had no spout, extra blocks on its tail(which was made up of fire blocks and other destroyable blocks.
"Zhis doesn't look eazy!" Doc exclaimed.
"I have an idea," Adeleine said as she painted a picture of Kracko. Using his lightning power, she turned on the spout and got rid of the extra blocks with ease. The other Star Allies were waiting to grab the last chests. Inside the next room was another door. This time, Dark's picture was on it.
"Looks like Darkie's gonna lead us!" Marx said.
"And I will do a better job then the rest of you!" Dark promised.
"I'd like to see that!" Marx taunted. Dark growled as he entered the door.
"There are of these guys!" Owen called out as he destroyed another Key Dee. There were a lot of them, most of which were keyless. However, there was a key that they were trying to keep them from running off with. Dark, for his part, was able to deal with all the enemies with ease.
"Could one of you give my sword that fire power? I believe I will need it to move on,"
"Here ya go," Rick said as he breathed fire onto Dark's sword, igniting it. With a hidden smirk, Dark cut two rope bombs loose. One freed the key and the other got rid of some lava that was blocking the way to a door. The closest Star Ally, Susie, grabbed the key and placed it in the door, opening the way to another Friend Heart.
"Not bad for your first time!" Marx said.
"Hmmph!" Dark huffed.
"How the heck are we supposed to get that door?" Coo asked. The door in question was too high up for anyone to reach with the key. Dark, again, with no words, dropped the key to a Key Dee that was below them and then raced it to the door, defeating it before it could jump into the lava. He opened the door and grabbed the Friend Hearts inside.
"How did you know that would happen?" Kirby asked.
"Well, from what I know about those moronic things, they take the key and run and I happened to notice that the pathway it was taking would lead me to the door," Dark replied dismissively. The next area revealed another door with a picture. This time, it was of Daroach.
"I suppose my turn to lead our group was due," Daroach said as he adjusted his hat.
"We're always ready to help ya boss!" Storo promised.
"Zou will most likely need us anyways!" Doc pointed out.
"Let's go," Spinni said.
"I suppose we are off then," Daroach said as he entered the door.
"Fun slide!" Gooey cheered as Daroach used his curling stone form to hit a stake. This opened up the door to another Friend Heart, which Doc happily grabbed.
"I suppose that move can be useful," Meta Knight noted.
"It's mostly just something dumb that we can have fun with," Kirby replied. In the next room, there was a small passage blocked by a fire block. Daroach blasted the fire block with his ice shots, while Spinni went inside.
"Heads up!" He called out before cutting a platform. Daroach quickly teleported out of the way as it fell.
"More of a warning next time, Spinni," Daroach ordered as he grabbed the next Friend Heart.
"Sorry boss," Spinni said.
"Um, can someone get this thing off me!?" Marx called out from under the platform.
"How did you even get under there?" Dee questioned.
"How should I know?" Marx replied. With several eye rolls, the Star Allies worked to get the platform off him.
"Okay, so we need to lit this fuse, get rid of the water, but make sure the dynamite doesn't blow up and cost us the Friend Hearts," Kirby summarized.
"That sounds needlessly complicated," Susie pointed out.
"I believe I can handle this," Daroach said confidently. "Rick, on my go, light that fuse,"
"Uh...okay?" Rick said unsurely. Daroach proceeded to freeze the water spout.
"Now!" The thief ordered. Rick lit the fuse, which quickly split into two. However, Daroach had been waiting. With a quick movement, he tossed out a fire bomb, causing the water to start flowing. The second fuse was put out, but the first one opened up the door, leading to the Friend Hearts.
"How did you know that would work?" Kine asked.
"When you have been leading a team as long as I have, and need to be able to think on the fly, you tend to learn a few things," Daroach replied as Storo grabbed the Friend Hearts.
"Looks like we are fighting Meta's darkness," Marx noted. Parallel Meta Knight didn't look much different from normal Meta Knight, but with gold armor and red eyes.
"That is nothing but a mere mockery of my form!" Meta Knight challenged. The parallel version jumped down and the fight began. Much like the other parallel versions, Parallel Meta Knight's attacks weren't much different from his normal version. Even when Parallel Meta Knight cloned himself, it wasn't much different. Until he revealed some new tricks.
"Hey! Let go!" Marx cried as one clone fired a dark energy orb at him. He had been captured by it. Coo, Dedede and Spinni had also been caught. They were then slammed to the ground and flung away.
"You guys okay?" Owen called out as he landed another hit on Parallel Meta Knight.
"Peachy," Coo deadpanned. Nothing after that changed much, meaning that taking down Parallel Meta Knight didn't take much longer.
"That means there's only one dimesion left!" Owen realized.
"We should be able to shut that down with no problem!" Kirby vowed.
"Kinda strange we haven't seen those cult blokes in a while," Rick noted.
"Let's be thankful for that," Magolor spat.
And another Otherworldly King falls! Only one left and then….we run into some people we haven't seen in a while. See ya then.
