Chapter 39: Battle on the Halberd 2
In the Halberd's control tower someone is using the ship's steering wheel while controlling the Halberd and it's a hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure who taking a big bite out of a big piece of meat and then lets out a huge belch.
"Hehehe. Takin' the ship was easy enough and using that clown, with a dark heart and thoughts of revenge just make things even more greater. Can't wait until I turn Dream Land into a complete nightmare by crashing this stupid ship into it." The Brotherhood figure said but the an alarm goes off. "What? Right now? In the middle of my lunch break too!" The Brotherhood figure said as he looks at the ship's monitor and sees Meta Knight and Dedede running through the ship's interior. "What?! That masked freak's back on the ship and he has that stupid wannabe king?!" The Brotherhood figure asked and then looks at another monitor showing the group going outside the ship. "Hey, hey, hey, those goody losers are here too and are gonna help take back the ship. Well, least Marx is free to do what he wants so I'll let him." The Brotherhood figure said taking another big bite out of his meat.
Meanwhile the group get outside the Halberd.
(Ship Exterior)
The group are now outside the Halberd but are dealing with heavy winds.
"It's too windy!" T.J. said.
"You said it!" Tuff said.
"C'mon, if we make it through the outside, we shouldn't have a problem." Ky said.
The group start moving through the exterior of the ship but the Raven Black Xetis and Air Soldier Heartless appear and attack but Ky casts Gravity to bring them down while Noel casts Thunder while Sora casts Earth and they keep going through the exterior while dealing with more heavy winds and they later find a door and open it taking them back to the inside of the Halberd.
(Ship Interior 5)
The group are back in the Halberd's interior but then they come across blue flames blocking the way.
"Now what?" Max asked.
"Hahahaha! Like my new traps? I think you'll find them pretty hot!" A voice said and they see Marx.
"Not you again!" Tiff said while Kirby gets into his fighting stance.
"Now you have no way of getting through!" Marx said.
"Oh, really?" Elena asked casting Water on the blue flames getting rid of them.
"Wow, that was SOOOOO hard." Sora said.
"Ugh, so you figured it out, but I have more traps for you!" Marx said leaving.
"After him!" Tails said and they nod.
The group move through the ship's interior to go after Marx but then glowing green mines hover around the interior but Ky casts Fire to make them explode clearing the way and they come across a metallic door blocking the path but they find a switch and they use it to open the metallic door allowing them to get through and they find another door and go into the next room.
(Ship Hold)
The group arrive at the hold of ship where there are many cages.
"Help us!" A voice said.
"Huh?" Noel asked and they see many figures in the cages.
"Over here, you scallywags!" A voice said and they see what looks like an albatross wearing a white captain's uniform in a cage.
"Captain Vul?" Tiff asked.
"Yes, it's me. The other Meta-Knights are trapped as well." Vul said showing other knights in cages.
"What happened?" Lucas asked.
"What do you think happened? The Halberd has been taken over by that fiend Marx and that hooded scoundrel. After the ship was taken over, we were captured and put into this here hold while Meta Knight was kicked out of the ship." Vul said.
"Well, we got good news for ya, we're taking back the Halberd." Sly said.
"And what of Meta Knight?" Vul asked.
"He and Dedede are on their way for the control tower." Tiff said.
"And we're goin' after Marx, but first." Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to unlock the cages freeing Vul and the other Meta-Knights.
"You have our thanks. You're not bad for strangers. Still, be on the lookout, those dark grey and black things are quite dangerous as they are hideous." Vul said.
"We know how to handle them." Donald said.
"In the meantime, see if you can find a safer place until this whole thing is over." Noel said.
"Very well. Listen up, men! We're taking back what's ours!" Vul said as the Meta-Knights cheer and leave the hold.
"Come on. Hurry." Tuff said as they keep going.
(Ship Interior 6)
The group arrive at the next part of the interior but then they come across Muncher Haviks in their way and the Munchers swing their hammers but Ky casts Slow to make them slow and then uses Fire Raid while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a cartwheel slash and then casts Aero while Sora delivers two diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Thunder Edge but the Muncher Haviks unleash sonic belches but Kirby uses Stone while Elena unleashes magic pillars while Max uses Shield Boomerang but the Muncher Haviks roll their bodies around but Donald casts Zero Gravity to send them in the air while Lucas uses PK Love while Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch but the Muncher Haviks slam their hammers on the ground but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Ken casts Poison followed by casting Puppet to make the Haviks attack each other but the Muncher Haviks unleash sonic belches but Storm uses Volt Tackle while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Bentley sends out droids to attack but the Muncher Haviks swing their hammers and then slam them but Grace uses Snarl while T.J. spin slashes with his knife while Blaze delivers ballet style flame kicks but the Muncher Haviks roll their bodies around to attack but Shadow uses Chaos Control to slow down time and then shoots Chaos Arrows while Lucky uses Egg Roll while Murray gets into his ball form but the Muncher Haviks unleash sonic belches but Sly uses Cane Push while Tiff slashes with a sword while Tuff attacks with an axe and they defeat all of the Haviks and continue through the interior while dealing with more Haviks and Black Xetis but they then come across spikes and mines in their way and they also come across rising blue flames.
"Hahahaha! Burn, losers! BURN!" Marx said.
"Stupid asshole!" Ken said.
"Forget him and let's go." Noel said.
The group keep moving through to avoid the spikes, mines, and rising blue flames until they later reach the end of the interior and they find a door taking them somewhere else.
(Ship Exterior 2)
The group are back outside the Halberd.
"Great, back outside and dealing with more winds." Kiyo said.
"Keep going and hopefully, we won't get blown away." Sora said.
The group start moving through the exterior while dealing with more heavy winds but then more Raven Black Xetis and Air Soldier Heartless appear and attack but Ky casts Raging Storm and unleashes multiple lightning bolts shocking the Black Xetis and Heartless and destroying them and they keep going through the exterior and they later find what looks like a ladder and climb up taking them somewhere else.
(Ship Bridge)
The group reach the bridge of the Halberd.
"Hey, this is where we crashed and had to escape." Zatch said.
"So, back to square one." Shadow said.
"Where's Marx?" Tiff asked.
"Maybe he decided to quit." Tuff said.
"I dunno..." Elena said.
"That clown's not your only worry, stupid meats!" A voice said as they see a dark corridor revealing the same hooded Brotherhood figure.
"Brotherhood!" Max said as the group get ready to fight.
"No surprise you're using the Halberd for your selfish purposes." T.J. said.
"Got that right." The hooded Brotherhood figure said taking off the hood revealing Chubb.
"Chubb!" Ky said.
"So, the stupid fatass shows his face again. What a shocker." Elena said.
"I'm NOT FAT!" Chubb yelled.
"Really? 'Cause you look fat and stupid to me." Ken said.
"ARGH! You're givin' me a reason to eat you losers! I haven't forgotten that you sealed me up! You know what it's like to not bein' able to eat for a while?! I have to find more food to regain my strength again because of you!" Chubb said.
"Oh, boo-hoo, but you realize if you crash this ship at Dream Land you won't have anything." Bentley said.
"Wrong! I've managed to steal more than enough food from this stupid world. This was before I was ordered by Lord Malus to turn this world into a chaotic nightmare and I had to make sure Marx was back in action and not only have revenge on that pink meatball, but destroy both the ship and all of Dream Land. That's how a nightmare will be made." Chubb said.
"And we're NOT gonna let you do that!" Ky yelled.
"You won't be havin' control of this ship anymore. Consider your duties relieved for good." Sora said.
"You couldn't be any more stupid. I know that masked loser and that stupid so-called king are comin'. It's why Marx and I have come up with a perfect trap for them. As for you, I think a snack is called for. Let's do some tenderizing first." Chubb said as he makes the Halberds cannon aim at the group and it fires cannonballs and lasers at them who dodge.
"Dammit." Ken said.
"You're desperate." Murray said.
"I'm willin' to do anything for food. You can't stop this!" Chubb said as he disappears in his dark corridor as the Halberd's cannon keeps firing cannonballs while the ship's mechanical arm goes for the group.
"We have to stop that cannon!" Tiff said.
"Right. We're sitting ducks out here if we leave them alone." Ky said.
"Let's get to it!" Sora said.
(Battle Theme: Desire For All That is Lost)
(Information: Neutralize the Halberd's weapons!)
The group go for the cannon which fires cannonballs to drop down at them but they dodge and try to get to the cannon but the mechanical arm tries to attack the group but they avoid the arm which hits the ground and so Ky uses the arm like a rail and grinds along it to reach the cannon but the ship's blaster fires lasers at Ky who deflects them and shoots light shots from his Keyblade at the cannon and then Ky gets off the arm and aerial slashes at the cannon with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Triple Plasma while Noel locks onto the cannon and unleashes light and dark shots while Sora also locks onto the cannon and uses Rangarok but the blaster aims at the group and fires a giant laser but they dodge the giant laser and then Kirby gets on a warp star and flies at the cannon and then rams the warp star into the cannon dealing great damage while Ky unleashes light blades and sends them at the cannon and the mechanical arm but the cannon fires another cannonball but Sora strikes at the cannonball sending it right back at the cannon while Noel unleashes rays of light and darkness at the blaster to deal damage but the mechanical arm tries to attack but Ky and Kirby both go for the arm and they manage to take it out and they stop the cannon attacks.
"That takes care of that." Tiff said.
"Wonder how Meta and King Fatass are doing." Ky said.
Meanwhile Meta Knight and Dedede use a lift to reach the control tower.
"Finally. We have arrived." Meta Knight said.
"About time!" Dedede said and they find Marx.
"Oh, you're here already?" Marx asked.
"This stops now, Marx! I am taking back what's mine!" Meta Knight said.
"This is for using me like a puppet!" Dedede said charging at Marx with his mallet and delivers a whack.
Marx flies out of the control tower and lands on the bridge in front of the group.
"Well,look who dropped by." Lucas said.
"And guess whose ass we're gonna kick." Ken said.
"Hehehehe! You guys are so stupid!" Marx said as he melts into shadow bugs.
"A fake?" Tails asked as the shadow bugs transform into a different form.
The shadow bugs turn into what looks like a giant Black Xeti that looks like a giant robot with a giant wheel and with one side being blue and having a giant blade on its head while having two blades for hands while the other side is pink and it has a cannon on its head and has blasters for hands and they both Black Xeti symbols on their bodies.
"Black Xeti!" Blaze said as they get into their fighting stance.
"Not good!" Tuff said.
"My friends! Do what you can against that Black Xeti! I shall gain control of the Halberd!" Meta Knight said.
"You got it, Meta!" Ky said.
"Let's hurry and settle this!" Sora said.
"Kirby, get ready!" Tiff said and Kirby nods.

"That takes care of that." Elena said.
"Well done, my friends. Now, to take back my ship." Meta Knight said as he goes for the steering wheel.
"I don't think so!" A voice said as a ball hits Meta Knight who recovers by flying with his cape wings.
Meta Knight lands on the bridge with the group.
"What happened?" Sora asked.
"It cannot be!" Meta Knight said as Dedede falls from the control tower and lands on the bridge.
"Why that two-faced trickster!" Dedede said.
"Let me guess, Marx." Tiff said.
"Hahahaha! You did well making it this far onto the bridge, but this game ends now!" Marx said as he uses the ship's controls and then the ship starts to shake.
"Oh, crap!" Ken said.
"Poyo...!" Kirby said sadly.
"No, the Halberd is losing altitude!" Meta Knight said.
"We have to stop Marx!" Tails said as they try to move but Chubb unleashes a sonic belch to stop them.
"Not this time!" Chubb said.
"This ship and Dream Land will go bye-bye and you're not ruining my fun!" Marx said as he summons a dark hole and sucks the group into it.
"Well, time to end this plan right now. Make sure they don't get out." Chubb said.
"Gladly." Marx said going for the hole.
In what looks like a bizarre and chaotic area where everything is split and floating in ethereal air the group wake up.
"Ugh... Now where are we?" T.J. asked.
"This place looks way...off." Tuff said.
"Poyo..." Kirby said.
"We must be in Marx's world of making." Meta Knight said.
"He has a twisted sense of creativity." Blaze said.
"There's no time to lose. We have to find a way out and stop Marx and Chubb!" Ky said and they nod.
"The Halberd's going to crash and Dream Land will be lost!" Elena said.
"Okay. Let's get outta this hellhole." Ken said.
(Field Theme: Mysterious Nightmare)
(Mysterious Dimension-Shattered Islands)
(Information: Escape from the dimension!)
The group begin moving through the shattered islands of the dimension but they come across what looks like an ending edge of the shattered island and they also find an ethereal pole.
"Dead end or is it...?" Ky asked looking at the pole.
"Maybe we could use that pole to our advantage." Meta Knight said.
"Hey, yeah! Try spinning along it." Tails said.
"Somethin' good should happen." Goofy said.
Ky uses Flowmotion on the pole and spins along it and just then an ethereal bridge appears.
"A bridge." Noel said.
"And we can cross it." Tiff said.
The group cross the bridge while sliding through the ethereal air and they later reach the next part of the dimension.
(Mysterious Dimension-Chaotic Forest)
The group arrive another floating area where there are dead trees with faces and they move through but then the dead trees attack the group with their branches.
"Live trees? As if we didn't deal with that already." Max said.
"This gives the Black Xetis' world a run for its money." Zatch said.
The group keep moving while dodging more dead trees attacking them and they later reach the end of the the forest only for more dead trees using their branches to block the path and just then Muncher Haviks appear.
"Guess we'll have to do this the hard way." Sly said.
"As usual." Lucas said.
(Battle Theme: Nightmarish Dimension)

Ky, Noel, Sora, Elena, Ken, and Donald cast Fire on Kirby who becomes Fire Kirby and together with Blaze they use their flames to get rid of the blocking branches opening the way and they keep going until they find another ethereal pole and Noel uses Flowmotion and spins along it creating another ethereal bridge and they move to the next floating area of the dimension.
(Mysterious Dimension-City of Ruins)
The group arrive at a floating area with ruined and destroyed buildings and keep moving but then buildings float and they drop down at the group.
"Look out!" Donald cried as they dodge the falling buildings.
"Now it's falling buildings?" Sora asked.
"Marx is one evil little bastard." Ken said.
"We need to get out of here or he'll actually destroy us." Tiff said.
"That little ball'll wish he'd never mess with the King of Dream Land!" Dedede said.
The group keep going while dodging more falling buildings but then Muncher Haviks appear and attack but the group defeat them and continue while dodging more buildings and later find another ethereal pole and so Sora uses Flowmotion to spin along it making another ethereal bridge appear and they group slide along it through the air and they get on what looks like a crashed and destroyed airplane and move through it but more Muncher Haviks appear and attack but Ky casts Blizzard on Kirby who becomes Ice Kirby and he freezes the Haviks destroying them and they keep moving but the plane begins to fall off the ethereal air.
"Everyone off!" Tiff said as they jump off the falling plane as it drifts into the air while the group land somewhere else.
(Mysterious Dimension-Tracks of Despair)
The group are now on what look like floating and broken train tracks and they start moving through while dealing with Black Xetis and Haviks in their way but then they see a downward track and so they slide down but then ethereal pillars begin to emerge under them.
"Here we go again with this place trying to kill us." Murray said.
"Dodge everything!" Kiyo said.
"Tell us something we don't know what to do." T.J. said.
The group keep sliding along the tracks while dodging ethereal pillars but Vampirebat Black Xetis and Horror Haviks appear and attack but they defeat the enemies and keep sliding along the tracks while going over loops and loops and then they get on what looks like a floating and destroyed upside-down pirate ship and now the group are upside-down.
"Gawrsh, everythin's topsy-turvy." Goofy said.
"Least we're falling." Tuff said.
"This is starting to annoy me." Shadow said.
The group move through the upside-down pirate ship and they later find what looks like vines holding the ship and so Ky, Noel, and Sora destroy the vines making the upside-down ship start drifting through the air while dealing with Vampirebat Black Xetis attacking and later the ship begins to fall apart but the group jump off while reverting back to their rightside-up state and they fall to a different area.
(Mysterious Dimension-Sea of Clouds)
The group land on different colored clouds and they're on green clouds.
"As much as I'm enjoying our tour through Marx's twisted world, can we find a way out sooner rather than later?" Elena asked.
"Marx has be hiding somewhere and I think only he knows a way out." Tiff said.
"Yeah, but he won't let us leave." Donald said.
"Which is why we'll have to be a little forceful." Ky said pounding his fist into his other hand.
"Poyo!" Kirby agreed.
"Okay, but do we know WHERE he is?" Shadow asked.
"Hmm..." Bentley sees what looks like a glowing hole in the center of the air. "That hole looks awfully suspicious." Bentley said.
"Maybe it'll lead us to Marx." Zatch said.
"In that case, investigate the hole." Tuff said.
"Finally!" Dedede said running off.
"Yeah, sure. Run without us, asshole." Elena said.
"Come on." Sora said.
The group start moving through the green clouds to go for the hole and they later reach the next set of clouds which are yellow clouds but then Raven Black Xetis appear and attack but the group defeat them and keep moving through the yellow clouds and they later reach red clouds and then slide down the red clouds taking them to the glowing hole and they walk along the glowing section of the hole while sliding downward and reach into the center of the hole.
"Finally made it." Tiff said.
"Thanks for waiting us, King Fatso!" Ken said.
"Shut it! All I care about is dealin' with that annoying jester." Dedede said.
"Hurry, friends. Into the hole and we should find Marx." Meta Knight said as they jump into the hole.
(Mysterious Dimension-Marx's Domain)
The group arrive at what looks like a dark and dusky canyon like area and they find Marx.
"There you are, you evil troll!" Max yelled.
"Hehehe! You found me!" Marx said.
"And we're gonna take care of you! Get us outta here!" Lucas yelled as they get into their fighting stances.
"I can't let you leave! I still haven't gotten my revenge on Kirby yet and even if I did let you go, you're still too late! My friends are gonna turn Dream Land into a nightmarish wasteland and you can't do a thing. Who knows, maybe the Halberd crashed." Marx said.
"Do not be so sure, evil clown! Your evil ends here!" Meta Knight said.
"Time to send ya to Hell!" Ken said.
"You can try and beat me!" Marx said.
"What can YOU do? You're just a little ball!" T.J. said.
"Oh, you haven't seen the real ME!" Marx said as he floats into the air and then yellow wings with glowing crystals under them and round heart shaped tips grow on his back while his eyes have a crazy and evil look and now has fangs.
"What the hell?!" Elena asked.
"Marx's true form!" Tiff said.
"HEHEHEHE! You've done it now, stupid fools! Now I get to play one more game. I call it, 'Death of the Goody-Goodies'!" Marx said.
"Yeah, well, here's our game. I call it, 'Stop the Lunatic'!" Ky said.
"Poyo!" Kirby said getting ready to fight.

"What's he doing?" Kiyo asked.
"Nothing good." Sora said as Marx creates a giant black hole.
"Oh, crap..." Ky said as he, Noel, Sora, and everyone are being sucked into the black hole.
The group try to stay on the ground and not get sucked into the black hole but Marx's suction becomes stronger and the group are sucked into the black hole and later the group slam back onto the ground while heavily damaged.
"That hurt..." Tails said.
"Hang on." Noel said as she, Ky, Sora, Elena, and Donald cast Cure on themselves and everyone else.
"What? You should be dead! Take THIS!" Marx said as he turns his eyes into giant size and fires multiple lasers.

"Kirby, we gotta do something!" Ky said and Kirby nods and he takes out something which is a bird like rocket.
"What's that?" Sora asked.
"The Dragoon! That's it! Send it right into Marx!" Tiff said.
Kirby gets on the Dragoon as it flies off and then sends the Dragoon into Marx's black hole creating a powerful strike on Marx dealing excellent damage.
"OW! YOU CHEATED, AS USUAL, KIRBY! NOW YOU'RE DEAD!" Marx shouted.
"Think again!" Meta Knight said as he uses his cape to shroud Marx into darkness.
While in the darkness slashes are seen and heard and it's from Ky, Noel, Sora, Kirby, and Meta Knight and the slashing in the darkness continues until all five slashes happen at the same time and deal excellent damage to Marx while they're out of the darkness.
"Gah! I HATE ALL OF YOU! NOW YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Marx shouted.

"No... NOOOOOOO!" Marx cried.
"Hope you learned your lesson." Ky said.
"You can't stop all of us." Tiff said.
"Hehehehe... You might've defeated me, but are you forgetting one thing?" Marx asked.
"And that's why you're taking us back!" Sora said.
"I've got a better idea..." Marx said as he splits himself and transforms himself into a giant black ball. "I'M TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME!" Marx said as the black ball explodes into massive darkness.
"Watch out!" Noel said as they're caught in the dark explosion which sends them flying off.
Later the group are back at the mysterious dimension.
"Ugh, why're we back here?" Max asked.
"Is there no way out?" Tuff asked.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at a portal.
"That better be our way outta here!" Dedede said running for the portal.
"C'mon!" Ky said as they go for the portal.
The group emerge from the portal and return to the bridge of the Halberd which is still falling from the sky.
"Good news is we're back." Kiyo said.
"Yes, but I must get back to the control tower!" Meta Knight said flying for the control tower.
Meta Knight reaches the tower and goes for the controls.
"Not so fast! You're not stoppin' me from destroying this stupid place." Chubb said.
"That is where you're wrong, my friend." Meta Knight said as he shrouds Chubb in darkness with his cape and then delivers a giant slash sending Chubb out of the tower and falling into the sky.
"See ya, fatass!" Ken said.
"Now's my chance!" Meta Knight said as he uses the ship's controls to regain control of the Halberd and later the Halberd stops falling and manages to fly once more.
"He did it!" Tiff cheered.
"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby cheered as the Halberd flies out of the red skies and into the clear skies.
"Finally, the Halberd is back under my control. Our next stop, back to Cappy Town." Meta Knight said.
"Sweet!" Sora cheered.
"Looks like we did it." Elena said.
Later the Halberd continues flying back to Cappy Town and the group are talking to Kirby, Tiff, Tuff, and Meta Knight.
"Thank you, my friends. If not for your efforts, both my ship and Dream Land would have been destroyed." Meta Knight said.
"Don't mention it. It was awesome having to fight at Kirby's side again." Ky said rubbing Kirby who hums happily.
"Good news is Marx is out, but I doubt the same can be said for Chubb." Elena said.
"Doesn't matter. We dealt with him before and we can do it again." Tails said.
"That means we can't stay here long." Max said making Kirby sad.
"That's too bad. Everyone in Cappy Town would be looking forward to seeing you again." Tuff said.
"But since you guys have something important to do, then I guess we can't stop you." Tiff said.
"Don't worry. We can come back again someday, hopefully, not dealing with any more bullcrap." Ky said.
"Poyo!" Kirby cheered jumping up and down.
"It may also please you too hear that my Meta-Knights have managed to fix up your vessel and healed your companions' wounds so you should be free to depart when you're ready." Meta Knight said.
"That's great to hear! Thank you." Goofy said.
"Yeah, thanks a bunch." Ky said.
"By the way, where's King Dumbass?" Ken asked.
"In the ship probably sulking for not getting rid of Kirby, as usual." Tiff said.
"Shocker. Whatever, guess you can tell him we're on our way. Not like he's gonna care." Ky said.
"Well, we should probably start moving on. It was great meeting you." Noel said.
"Yeah and great seeing you again." Ky said.
"Ky... Noel... Sora..." Kirby said.
"Huh?" Ky, Noel, and Sora asked.
"Kirby?" Tiff asked.
"B-Bye..." Kirby said waving.
"See ya again, Kirby." Ky said picking up Kirby and rubs him again as everyone laughs.
While the group are laughing Dedede looks down at the group.
"Hmph! As soon as I get back to the castle, I'm gettin' back to plannin' on gettin' rid of that dare Kirby and those annoyin' brats!" Dedede said.

In Dream Land Forest four people are searching for something and it's Bowser Jr., Zavok, Ludwig, and Maleficent.
"I HATE this world! Not only did this world NOT die thanks to that stupid Ky, but there's NO black box!" Bowser Jr. yelled.
"Calm yourself, child. This was our chance to have our investigation. According to that wretched snail we came upon, he told us a hidden treasure would be here." Maleficent said.
"Yes, but obviously, he had no idea what he was saying so his lead is useless." Zavok said.
"Well, we should head back to the..." Ludwig was cut off as he falls into a hole.
"What're you doing, Ludwig?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"Hey, I found something!" Ludwig said.
"Reveal it to us at once!" Maleficent ordered as Ludwig gets out of the hole and finds a black chest.
"This has got to be it." Ludwig said.
"Is it?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"That is not the box we seek either." Maleficent said.
"As usual, a waste of time." Zavok said.
"Ugh! What will it TAKE to find this box already?! At this point, it's gonna be pointless and that's something Zor says." Ludwig said.
"Whatever, back to the Egg Cruiser III." Bowser Jr. said a they leave the forest.
After the four leave someone falls to the forest and it's Chubb.
"Ouch... That hurt and my plan failed..." Chubb said and he sees a dark corridor appearing revealing Narasix. "AHHHH! Narasix...! I-I'm sorry, boss! I tried to destroy this land, but..." Chubb was cut off.
"Shut up and get back to the castle. The heroes might have triumphed, but this as far as they'll go. Lord Malus has a plan for that." Narasix said.
"Oh, okay. Can't wait for get more food when we get back. Still hungry." Chubb said as they disappear in their dark corridor.
Meanwhile after saying goodbye to Kirby, Tiff, Tuff, and Meta Knight the group leave and return to the space area with Ky and Noel and their groups riding on Fulgur and Millia while Sora, Donald, and Goofy are in their Gummi ship.
"Noel, you okay?" Ky asked.
"Yes. I'm fine after Master Yen Sid helped me." Noel said.
"That's good. I'm glad." Ky said.
"Is something wrong, Ky?" Blaze asked.
"I'm having this bad feeling. After we almost lost Noel, I'm having a very bad feeling that something horrible will happen to us." Ky said.
"Ky... Nothing bad will happen to us. I promise you. No matter obstacle we'll face, we can take it on together." Elena said.
"Elena's right. C'mon, a Keyblade Master should at least feel more confident." T.J. said.
"Yeah, you're right... I'm just overthinking." Ky said.
"Come on, let's go see if there's anything else we can do for the worlds before the Brotherhood and the Organization can cause any more problems." Sly said.
"Right." Ky said as they keep flying.
