The first things that would come to a person's mind when being in a black and empty abyss such as this would be the frigid air around them and the impending feeling of loneliness. If the plumber had retained his ability to think freely, he probably would have thought something like that as well. However, he was chained to a stone base in said abyss, with any and all thoughts and memories barely holding onto him in his mind. Wherever he was, it was certainly dark and solitary, giving off the vibe that he was in hell. Something even colder touched the cap of the frozen plumber's hat, and began to spread and coat him like chocolate on a strawberry. A soap like, golden liquid began to take in his form, coating him for a brief moment before branching off onto the bottom of the stone base. As if something inside it had changed, it solidified into the same form the plumber had, copying any and all aspects of his face, clothing, and powers. Because of the change it took, it fell from the base onto an unseen surface, like a toy dropping from a shelf into hardwood floor. Something other than the copy suddenly became aware of its existence. A glowing rainbow light found its way towards the figure, not entirely sure what to do. Then it remembered. The creature fazed through the form of the plumber, gaining access to his feelings, powers, and memories. He was interesting to the creature, looking through all of the memories of those the host loved and hated and examining their abilities was rare for it. Finally, the figure lifted up from the surface like a possessed rag doll, lifting its head up and allowing closed eyes to open and reveal bright red ones that shone brightly through the dark. Now all that was left was to remove any weakness it had. Even though the figure was solid now, the inside of it was still hollow and could constrict itself at will.
And that was exactly what it did.
Where once were stomach muscles, pastel yellow flesh pushed inward, forcing the organs up through the creature's esophagus. Unfortunately this was the hardest part of creating a perfect clone. The flesh pushed more, sending a gallbladder up into his throat before coming out of his mouth. This vomiting of an organ earned a horrid retching sound from the creature, with another unnecessary thing, blood, spilling out closely behind said organ. After that came a stomach, then a pancreas, a liver and a pair of kidneys, a small and large intestine, and everything else including blood. The sounds of garbled groaning and choking faded as the creature almost finished getting rid of the very last weakness; compassion. It forced its way inside the brain and began attacking any and all nerves that could feel pain - emotional and physical - as well as sympathy and any feelings of happiness or love. There, the cloning process was complete. The plumber sputtered and coughed out the remaining blood inside it, before opening his jaws to an inhuman width and letting out a terrifying, demonic howl. Another similar noise echoed from the darkness behind it., surprising it with the fact that it was not alone like it believed it was.
Another pair of eyes glowered at him from the cover of darkness, showing very little of the others form around the source of light, and yet the plumber's clone recognized him by both the sound of his voice and what little detail could be seen around its glowing eyes. Monado Boy. Yet another scream of rage erupted from the darkness, accompanied by another pair of strawberry red eyes. This one he also recognized. Hero-King. More and more beings made themselves known by their own unique cries and appearances. Even in such little light, the plumber's clone could barely make out everyone he knew around him. Boxer, Self-proclaimed king, Vampire hunter, Hero of Hyrule. Some of them dared to rise to their feet, somewhat unsure of what they had become and where they were. Those few who did rise began to growl in their new distorted and monster-esque voices at others around them, as if identifying them as hostile beings. This caused some fighting among them, starting an eruption of yowls and roaring and screeching. "Enough," a whisper-like voice echoed from above.
"You shall not fight with yourselves. Your purpose is to take those unlike you all."
This caught the attention of all the clones within the shadowy abyss. From the shadows above them, the faint glimmer of Galeem's light directed their attention towards it. Many hissed in protest to the light that hit their faces, not knowing was it was. Galeem scanned the collection of the galaxies greatest warriors that he amassed in one fell swoop, doing a head count of how many it caught. At first, it was uncertain with the results of the first count, then did a second one before coming to a conclusion, filled with dismay. "We are missing one; the pink puffball Kirby"
Their eyes lit up at the name Kirby. Galeem knew that they all were familiar with him. "All of you, I command you this; search throughout this world for Kirby. When you find him, bring him to me, dead or alive. While on your hunt for Kirby, kill and take anything that defies me and my goal. Allow them the same endless suffering I have given you and many others before thee." it spoke. As it gave orders, hundreds of glowing orbs depicting places that every fighter knew, from Windy hill zone to Kongo Jungle and Tortimer Island appeared in front of them, swirling slowly around one another. "These orbs contain portals to places you have all been to. Kirby is hiding somewhere in these places. I command you all to go through them and begin your task." At their leader's command, the clones obeyed, each of them crawling into an orb and starting their own sinister quest. Galeem felt a sense of victory within itself. Divide and conquer; a classic strategy. With all these great warriors on its side, what could a puny pink alien do to stop it and its conquest?
A/N: Alright! There's my take on WoL! I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. I think I set a new record on writing a story since this took me less than about an hour and a half to type and proofread. Obviously, I'll continue this once SSBU comes out and I can actually play the story mode, so until then, I hope everyone is hyped and that you all can enjoy the game when it comes out!
