Chapter 18: Secret of the Giant Egg
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, Billy, Rolly, Chick, and Bantam continue to make their way out of Blizzard Castle and head southwest to Circus Park on Ponee's advice and as they keep heading to Circus Park, they reach the end of the snowy valley and arrive at what looks like a canyon area.
(Circus Park)
While going through the canyon, they see what looks like a giant neon sign that says 'Circus Park' and they hurry to get into Circus Park, but as they enter, they see nighttime has covered the park by the Crows.
"Not here too..." Tails said.
"Just as I thought. Crows are here." Ky said and Menie-Funie appears.
"Listen to me, everyone. The Chicken Elder of Circus Park, Allani, has too been turned into a golden egg. You must find Allani's egg as quickly as possible, break the seal, and uncover another secret of the Giant Egg." Menie-Funie said.
"We'll help Elder Allani. Don't worry." Elena said.
The group start going through Circus Park to save Elder Allani, but Heartless appear to attempt to stop the group, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Gravity and the Heartless are defeated. The group continue to search for Allani, but as they continue, Crows appear to attack, but Billy attacks with an egg while Ky uses Strike Raid and they defeat the Crows and their search continues until they find another golden egg trapped in a cage and Ky breaks the lock, freeing the golden egg, allowing Billy to take the golden egg.
"I have a feeling the Crows will attempt to stop us from breaking the seal and where we're going is dangerous." Kiyo said.
"That won't be a problem. Billy, be careful and we'll break the seal in no time." Ky said and Billy nods.
"No problem, Ky." Billy said.
Billy starts feeding the golden egg while the group fight off the Crows and the Heartless in their way and make their way through dangerous narrows until Billy has fed the golden egg enough.
"Now, guys!" Rolly said.
Ky uses his Keyblade to unleash another light beam while Billy unleashes another rooster call and the golden starts to hatch freeing another Chicken Elder that looks like a ringmaster and the Chicken Elder unleashes a rooster to get rid of the night and brings morning back to Circus Park.
"You must be Elder Allani." Blaze said.
"Yes and thank you all so much! Those awful Crows, the Black Xetis, and the Heartless have attacked Circus Park and have turned this land of fun and relaxation into a twisted lair of Saltim, the Crow minion. He has taken residence in the Fun House." Allani explained.
"We'll put an end to his fun." Zatch said.
"Thank you. For your act of bravery and heroism, take this Emblem of Courage." Allani said, giving the group another Emblem of Courage.
"Thank you, sir." Max said.
After saving Allani, the group start searching for the Crow minion, Saltim and they arrive at the entrance of a fun house.
"This must be the Fun House." Chick said.
"Saltim has to be here." Shadow said.
"I see you all have arrived at the entrance to the Fun House that Elder Allani has mentioned. It has been filled with dangerous traps by Saltim. You all must make it past the traps in the Fun House and defeat Saltim." Menie-Funie said.
"That we can do." Bantam said.
"Yay! We get to enter the Fun House!" Zatch said.
"We're only here to defeat Saltim and bring true peace back to Circus Park. NOT playing around!" Kiyo said.
"Awww, why can't we do both?" Zatch asked.
"Pikachu!" Storm said.
"Storm's right. Let's focus." Elena said.
The group to make their way through the Fun House while fighting off Crows and Heartless that appeared and they continue on, but as they keep going, they see a room with mirrors and they're blocking the way. The group destroy a mirror, but just then, Heartless and Crows appear and attack, but the group defeat the Heartless and the Crows and the group destroy another mirror and it leads to the next room. They move on through the Fun House while avoiding more traps and fighting off more Crows and Heartless in their way until they arrive at another room with more mirrors and Ky breaks a mirror, but it's the wrong one and Heartless and Crows appear to attack, but the group defeat the Heartless and the Crows and Ky destroys another mirror, leading to the next room.
The group continue their way through the Fun House and avoid more traps and as they continue on, they see a door at the end and open it leading to the outside of the Fun House and they find another Dark Gate.
"Another Dark Gate. Let's find Saltim and give him the LAST laugh." Ky said and they nod.
The group enter the Dark Gate and it takes them somewhere else.
The group are now in what looks like a round room and while searching, they see a giant mirror rising from the ground and they see what looks like a monkey with clown makeup and wearing a clown outfit.
"Lemme guess. You're Saltim." Elena said.
"That's right! I was wondering who would dare to come here and try to stop my fun!" Saltim said.
"Your answer's your end." Shadow said.
"Let's play!" Slatim said, as he jumps into the mirror.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil)
The group search for where Saltim is and they see more mirrors around and while searching, they see Saltim moving from mirror to mirror and as Saltim is still in a mirror, Ky destroys the mirror he's in, making Saltim jump out.
"Good try! You can't catch me!" Saltim said.
Saltim starts throwing colorful balls that explode on the ground, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Billy egg dashes, but Saltim continues to throw colorful balls until he jumps back into another mirror and a giant mirror rises.
"I have you now!" Saltim said, getting on the giant mirror.
Saltim starts trying to suck the group into the mirror, but the group manage to avoid being sucked until Elena casts Thunder, making Saltim fall and land on the ground dazed, allowing Elena to whack with her staff followed by a magic bomb while Max bashes with his shield while Storm electric punches followed by a tail whip. Lucky uses Ground Pound while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Tails tail swipes while Blaze flame kicks while Shadow multi punches followed by a flip kick while Rolly egg throws while Chick egg bounces while Bantam egg dunks while Billy egg attacks while Ky uses Edge Slash until Saltim recovers and jumps into another mirror.
The group search for Saltim again and he's going around the mirrors again until Ky uses Strike Raid to break the mirror and makes Saltim pop out and Saltim throws more ball bombs, but Billy egg dashes while Ky casts Blizzard, but Saltim continues to throw ball bombs, but Rolly egg throws while Chick egg dashes while Bantam egg dunks, but Saltim jumps into another mirror and tries to suck the group again, only for the group to avoid the suction again until Ky casts Gravity, making Saltim fall down and is stunned again.
"Now!" Ky said.
While Saltim is stunned again, Billy egg bounces while Rolly egg throws while Chick egg dashes while Bantam egg dunks while Storm uses Skullbash while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga while Tails shoots three shots from his blaster while Max uses Shield Missile while Shadow uses Chaos Arrows while Lucky uses Headbutt while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Elena shoots magic bolts while Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Spin Slash until Saltim recovers and jumps back into another mirror.
"Wonder what trick he's doing now." Blaze said.
Several mirrors appear and they see lots of Saltims, making random dances.
"You gotta be kidding." Ky said.
"You little trickster!" Billy said.
"Can you pierce my illusion?" Saltim asked.
"Find the real Saltim." Tails said.
The group find out who the real Saltim is and they see Saltim jumping up and down and Ky destroys it with his Keyblade, popping Saltim out.
"NO! You broke my illusion!" Saltim said.
"Now's our chance!" Shadow said.
Rolly egg dashes while Chick egg dunks while Bantam egg bounces while Max uses Cyclone while Storm uses Quick Attack followed by Skullbash while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Tails fires lasers from his blaster while Lucky double kicks and then uses Lick while Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Shadow spin dashes and then multi punches while Elena whacks with her staff followed by Fire while Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Strike Raid while Billy attacks with his egg, but Saltim recovers again and tries to jump back into the mirror.
"I don't think so!" Ky said, as he uses Slide Dash and delivers an upper slash, sending Saltim into the air.
While Saltim is in the air, Billy egg dunks at Saltim and sends him back to the ground and then Ky delivers a final stab at Saltim.
"That was NOT fun!" Saltim said, as he disappears into multiple Crows that fly into the air.
"Stupid clown." Ky said.
"Your fun has ended." Kiyo said.
Meanwhile at the pyramid, another plate starts to glow orange next to the purple plate.
After defeating Saltim, the group see Allani.
"You all have defeated Saltim! Well done!" Allani said.
"It wasn't a big deal, sir." Max said.
"Now then, I understand that you are searching for information about the Giant Egg. Allow me to tell you what I know." Allani said.
"Please tell us." Ky said.
"Long ago, my father told me a story about a war that broke out involving the Giant Egg. It must have started because someone wanted the power of the Giant Egg for themselves. After the war ended, the Elders sealed the Giant Egg in a castle in the sky to prevent any more wars. The Elders have performed the sealing ritual at the Sand Ruin, which is to the east of here. That is all I know." Allani explained.
"I'm sure the last Chicken Elder can tell us more." Bantam said.
"Perhaps. You should be able to solve the puzzle at the Sand Ruin." Allani said.
"Thank you for your help, Elder Allani." Ky said.
"Best of luck on your adventure, everyone. Please do not let the Crows prevail." Allani said and the group nod.
The group start to leave Circus Park and head east to the Sand Ruin on Allani's advice to gain more information of the Giant Egg and later on, as the group leave Circus Park, and keep heading for the Sand Ruin the group are now in a desert area, assuming that they are getting close to the Sand Ruin, so they hurry through the desert.
(Sand Ruin)
They later on arrive at some ruins with Chicken statues, but just like the other places they've been through, it's nighttime that's caused by the Crows.
"This has got to be the Sand Ruin and the Crows must've taken it over." Ky said and Billy nods.
"Not good at all." Billy said.
"Yoshi?" Lucky asked.
"We need to find the next Chicken Elder and he seems to be turned into another Golden Egg." Rolly said.
"You all have arrived at the Sand Ruin, but the Crows have captured Meri-Meri and he's being held at the top of the pyramid." Menie-Funie said.
"No problem. We'll save him so we can get more info on the Giant Egg." Elena said.
The group start to move through the Sand Ruin to reach the top of the pyramid, but Crows and Heartless appear to attack, but Ky and Billy defeat them and the group manage to locate the pyramid. They start climbing up to the top to rescue Meri-Meri, but more Crows and Heartless appear and attack, but the group defeat them so they can continue to climb up the pyramid until they finally manage to reach the top and they find another golden egg in the cage and so Ky uses his Keyblade to destroy the lock and breaking the cage.
"Good. You two gotta undo that curse." Kiyo said.
"Right. Billy, you know what to do." Ky said and Billy nods.
"Always do." Billy said.
Billy starts feeding the golden egg while the group fight against the Crows in their way while making their way down the pyramid and after feeding the golden egg enough, Billy starts to unleash his rooster call while Ky uses his Keyblade to unleash another light beam and they hatch the golden egg freeing another Chicken Elder wearing Egyptian themed clothing and the Chicken Elder unleashes a rooster call and rids the Sand Ruin of night and brings morning back to it.
"Hello. You're Elder Meri-Meri." Blaze said.
"Correct. You all have proven that you show bravery. I thank you all deeply. I understand that you wish to know about the secret of the Giant Egg, but there is something that must be done first." Meri-Meri said.
"Another Crow minion continues its reign?" Tails assumed.
"Yes. Dark Corvo, Dark Raven's second-in-command, still rules over the Sand Ruin with an iron fist. Once he is dealt with, return to me and I shall tell you what you wish to know about the Giant Egg." Meri-Meri said.
"Okay. We'll deal with Dark Corvo." Ky said.
"Allow me to reward you all with this Emblem of Courage." Meri-Meri said, giving the group another Emblem of Courage.
"Thank you, sir. I promise we'll bring true peace to the Sand Ruin." Ky said and the group nod in agreement.
After saving Meri-Meri and bringing morning back to the Sand Ruin, the group start searching for Dark Corvo.
"We gotta find this Dark Corvo and get rid of him so that peace can return to the Sand Ruin." Tails said.
"We also gotta find out more about this Giant Egg." Zatch said.
"Pikachu!" Storm said.
"Storm's right. We can't waste time here. Let's get going." Ky said.
"There has to be another Dark Gate throughout the ruins." Chick said.
"Let's hurry." Max said.
The group start heading for the ruins to find the Dark Gate leading them to Dark Corvo, but Crows appear and attack the group, but Ky and Billy defeat the Crows and they see a ground door opening.
"That should bring us into the ruins." Rolly said.
"Good. Let's get moving." Shadow said.
The group enter the ruins and start searching through it, but Shadow Heartless appear and attack, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade while Elena whacks with her staff while Max bashes with his shield while Tails tail swipes while Blaze flame kicks while Shadow multi punches while Storm electric punches while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky double kicks while Billy egg dashes while Rolly egg throws while Chick egg bounces while Bantam egg dunks and they defeat the Crows and continue their way through the ruins.
The group keep moving through the ruins, but they stumble upon a room with the ground being quicksand and the room also looks like a maze, so the group move through while fighting off more Heartless and Crows and keep going, but unknowing to the group, Bowser Jr. is watching them.
"Let's see if these ruins can be your tomb!" Bowser Jr. said, as he activates a switch.
As the group keep moving through the quicksand room, Ky notices sand starting to rise.
"Whoa! Why's the sand rising?" Ky asked.
"The Crows are trying to trap us! We need to get out of here before we're completely buried." Elena said.
The group continue to move through the quicksand room, but just then, more sand starts to rise again.
"It's happening again!" Zatch said.
"Hurry!" Ky said and Billy nods.
The group keep finding a way out of the room, but Crows appear and attack, but they defeat the Crows and continue on before the sand starts to rise again, but just then, Ky finds a door.
"Finally. The door. Once we get out, we'll keep going through the ruins until we find and confront Dark Corvo." Ky said, as he opens the door, but it won't budge. "C'mon. Don't tell me it's locked." Ky said.
"Is there a switch somewhere?" Elena asked.
"Probably." Tails said.
"C'mon! Open!" Ky said, still trying to open the door, but nothing. "That's it. You've left me with no other choice." Ky said, as he backs off for a bit and then charges at the door and delivers a flying kick at the door, but no effect. "That's it! You've just earned yourself a..." Ky was cut off by a voice.
"Yoo-whoo!" The voice said and it's a female voice and everyone turns to see Poena. "There's no need to use violence, Key boy." Poena said, but Ky is about to attack the door. "Hey. I'd start listening to what others say. As you can tell, these ruins are old and sturdy. Your little tricks won't do you any good. NO good!" Poena said, laughing but Ky points his Keyblade at her.
"Shut it! Unless ya want this Keyblade through your body!" Ky threatened.
"That would be a problem." Poena said.
"Who're you and what are you doing here?" Kiyo asked.
"Just hear me out. You guys have nothing to lose, right? My name is Poena and I have happened to explored these ruins." Poena said.
"Okay, Poena. Tell us how to get out of this room." Shadow said.
"You see that thing over there? There is a key shaped hole on it. To open the door, you need to place a KEY into the hole first." Poena explained, pointing at a key shaped hole on a pillar. "Do you know what that KEY is, kid? Or maybe it's just too difficult for you to figure it out?" Poena asked and starts laughing again.
"That's it!" Ky said, as he starts casting Fire at Poena who dodges all of the fireballs. "You wanna get to the point or do you wanna keep dancing?" Ky asked and he stops.
"Actually, I'd love to dance again, but that trinket you have there has to be my new partner. Can I have a dance with it?" Poena asked and Ky charges at Poena and tries to stab her with his Keyblade, but Poena dodges and disappears, making Ky's Keyblade stab into the key shaped hole, opening the door.
"The door's opened." Elena said.
"Good work, Ky!" Zatch said.
"Bingo! THAT is WHAT the KEY is!" Poena said and they turn to see her on a pillar.
"Yeah. Great. Is that all?" Ky asked, slightly annoyed.
"Actually, there is something I wanna tell you. If you're gonna face off Dark Raven, you'll need to watch your back. He is capable of dark powers and defeats his opponents with it. To defeat Dark Raven, you'll have to read him like a book and watch his movement, even in the dark. He is cunning. Plan your strategy wisely. Remember that, kid. Write it on your hand if you don't trust your own head." Poena said, laughing manically and disappears.
"I see. Thanks. You're still annoying though." Ky said, as he leaves the room.
"We have to keep going." Blaze said.
The group continue through the ruins while fighting off more Heartless and Crows in their way another enter another room, but as they enter the next room, a Chicken statue starts to spread fog everywhere, causing the entire room to be covered in fog.
"Oh, great. Now we can't see a blasted thing." Ky said.
"It's just like in that Wormwood Tree's maze when he covered it in fog and we got separated." Kiyo said.
"We gotta find our way out." Bantam said.
"Right. Maybe something can light the way." Tails said.
"I think I know." Elena said, as she casts Aero, creating a whirlwind and the fog disappears.
"There. Let's go." Shadow said.
The group continue through the room, but as they keep going, another Chicken statue spews out more fog and the room is covered again.
"Not again!" Chick said.
"Don't worry." Elena said, as she casts Aero again.
"C'mon." Ky said.
The group continue through the room and they hope that no more fog should spew the room and as they keep going, they see another door and Ky finds another key shaped hole and unlocks the door, making it open and the group leave the room.
The group keep making their way through the ruins and also keep fighting against Crows and Heartless and as they continue, they enter another room and they see another Dark Gate.
"Finally. The Dark Gate. Let's find Dark Corvo and deal with him." Ky said and the group nod.
The group enter the Dark Gate and it takes them somewhere else.
The group are now at ruined pyramid arena and they start searching for Dark Corvo, but then, they find two figures and it's Dark Corvo and at his side is Dark Raven.
"There he is!" Rolly said.
"Dark Corvo." Chick said.
"And that must be Dark Raven with him." Elena said.
"Good. We can take them both at once." Zatch said.
"We should be careful. Dark Corvo looks tougher than the last Crows minions we've fought against and being the King of the Crows, Dark Raven is more likely to be the dangerous one." Tails said.
"We must be cautious." Blaze said.
"Pikachu." Storm said in agreement.
"Yoshi." Lucky said in agreement.
"Yeah. Let's do this." Ky said and Billy nods.
The group confront Dark Raven and Dark Corvo.
"I see that you are setting your sights too high, my boy." Dark Raven said, as he turns to the group. "It seems you fools do not know when to stop foiling my attempts to make Morning Land mine." Dark Raven said.
"Go back to the other Chickens, pests. I will not allow you trouble Lord Dark Raven's plans any longer." Dark Corvo said.
"Your plan's foiled. Why not just save yourself the trouble and give up. We beat your minions, so you won't have a chance." Elena said.
"I have no time to deal with pitiful fools like yourselves. I already have what I came for." Dark Raven said, holding what looks like another Light Crystal piece. "Now, I shall go after another bigger prize: The Giant Egg! Dark Corvo, eliminate them." Dark Raven commanded.
"Yes, my lord." Dark Corvo said.
"I bid you fools farewell." Dark Raven said, as he disappears into black feathers.
"Dang it! He's gonna go after the Giant Egg now!" Bantam said.
"We'll deal with him after we have some fun with Dark Corvo." Ky said.
"It is futile. You cannot defeat me." Dark Corvo said.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil)
Dark Corvo summons what looks like a shadow version of Era Gecko.
"What the...?" Kiyo asked.
"That's Era Gecko!" Shadow said.
"No. Just a shadow clone. Eliminate them!" Dark Corvo said.
Shadow Era Gecko attacks the group a tail whip, leaving a shadow wave, but the group dodge the attack, but Era Gecko unleashes a sonic beam at the group, who dodge again and Ky attacks Shadow Era Gecko with his Keyblade while Billy attacks with his egg, but Shadow Era Gecko tail whips again, but Ky uses Spin Slash followed by Edge Slash, defeating Shadow Era Gecko and it disappears.
"No!" Dark Corvo said, as the defeat of Shadow Era Gecko has weakened him.
"Now's our chance!" Ky said.
As Dark Corvo is stunned, Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Strike Raid while Billy egg throws while Elena whacks with her staff followed by Thunder while Rolly egg dashes while Chick egg bounces while Bantam egg dunks while Max uses Shield Missile while Shadow multi punches followed by Chaos Arrows while Lucky uses Ground Pound while Storm shoots electric shots while Tails fires five shots from his blaster while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Blaze attacks with her claws followed double flame kicks and after a few attacks, Dark Corvo recovers and flies back into the air.
"You fools! I have more!" Dark Corvo said, as he summons another shadow clone and it's a shadow clone of Captain Glur.
"Here we go..." Max said.
"Watch yourselves, everyone." Ky said.
Shadow Captain Glur starts shooting shadow balls that bounce around the arena, but the group dodge the bouncing shadow balls and Ky uses Strike Raid while Billy egg throws, but Shadow Captain Glur shoots more bouncing shadow balls, but Ky uses Slide Dash and then attacks with his Keyblade defeating Shadow Captain Glur, making it disappear and Dark Corvo is weakened again by the defeat of Shadow Captain Glur.
As Dark Corvo is weakened again, Billy egg dashes while Rolly egg throws while Chick egg bounces while Bantam egg dunks while Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Edge Slash while Elena shoots magic bolts followed by Fire while Lucky uses Headbutt while Tails tail swipes and then throws bombs while Storm uses Skullbash while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga while Shadow home attacks and then uses Chaos Spear while Max bashes with his shield followed by Shield Boomerang while Blaze uses Fire Tornado, but Dark Corvo recovers and tries to fly again, but Ky upper slashes while Billy egg bounces, but Dark Corvo returns to the air.
Dark Corvo then summons another shadow clone and it's a shadow clone of Topo with his giant tyrannosaurus head and it starts shooting a huge wave, but the group dodge, only for the Shadow Topo to have the tyrannosaurus shoots another wave at the group. They dodge again and Ky casts Gravity and then uses Slide Dash and starts aerial slashing with his Keyblade while Billy egg slams, but Shadow Topo keeps having the tyrannosaurus fire another wave, but Ky casts Gravity again and then uses Strike Raid and defeats Shadow Topo, causing Dark Corvo to be weakened again.
Billy egg throws while Rolly egg bounces while Chick egg dashes while Bantam egg slams while Max uses Cyclone while Tails uses Magic Hand to deliver a punch while Storm uses Quick Attack and then tail whips while Lucky double kicks followed by Lick while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow multi spin kicks while Elena throws magic bombs and then casts Blizzard while Ky uses Spin Slash and then casts Thunder, but Dark Corvo recovers again and flies back into the air again, but Ky upper slashes while Billy egg bounces, but Dark Corvo flies back into the air again.
"Insolent imbeciles! Die by my hand!" Dark Corvo said, as he casts a spell and disappears.
Dark Corvo then reappears and with him are clones of himself and they start attacking the group with their staffs, but the group dodge the clones' attacks, but the Dark Corvo clones keep attacking, but Ky uses Slide Dash to get the real Dark Corvo and Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Thunder.
"You have wit, but still no match for me!" Dark Corvo said.
Dark Corvo then unleashes another shadow clone and it's a shadow clone of Moles and it starts sliding at the group, who dodge, but Shadow Moles slides at the group again, only for Ky to use Slide Dash to counter Shadow Moles and Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Edge Slash, defeating Shadow Moles and Dark Corvo is once again weakened.
Billy egg slams while Rolly egg throws while Chick egg dashes while Bantam egg bounces while Tails tail swipes and then shoots four shots from his blaster while Lucky uses Egg Roll while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Blaze attacks with her claws followed by a flame swipe while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Storm electric punches followed by Skullbash while Shadow multi punches followed by a flip kick while Elena whacks with her staff followed by shooting magic bolts while Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Strike Raid, but Dark Corvo recovers again, but Ky aerial attacks with his Keyblade, but Dark Corvo swipes him away with his staff, only for Ky to cast Gravity on Dark Corvo.
Dark Corvo clones himself again and attack the group with their staffs, but the group dodge and Ky tries to find the correct Dark Corvo, but the clones attack him, but Ky casts Aero on the Dark Corvo clones, making them swirl in the whirlwind and Ky attacks the real Dark Corvo with his Keyblade, but Dark Corvo attempts to escape, but Billy egg throws while Ky uses Strike Raid.
Dark Corvo summons another shadow clone and it's a shadow clone of Saltim, who throws shadow bombs on the ground, but the group avoid the shadow bombs and Ky casts Fire while Billy egg dashes, but Shadow Saltim keeps throwing shadow bombs, but Ky uses Slide Dash and attacks with his Keyblade while Billy attacks with his egg and the two defeat Shadow Saltim, making Dark Corvo weak again.
The group attack Dark Corvo, but Dark Corvo quickly recovers himself and clones himself again and they attack the group with their staffs, but the group dodge and Ky casts Thunder on multiple clones and it also got the real Dark Corvo, stunning him. The group attack with Ky attacking with his Keyblade while Billy attacks with his egg while Rolly egg dashes while Chick egg throws while Bantam egg dunks while Elena casts Gravity and then whacks with her staff while Max bashes with his shield. Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Shadow uses Chaos Arrow while Storm unleashes electricity while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga while Lucky uses Ground Pound while Tails throws bombs while Ky uses Spin Slash and then attacks with his Keyblade while Billy egg dashes, but Dark Corvo attacks with his staff and and clones himself again to attack the group, only for Ky to cast Aero again on the clones and manages to get the real Dark Corvo.
"It's game over for you, birdbrain!" Ky said.
"Foolish child! You're stubborn! Just perish!" Dark Corvo said, as he attacks with his staff.
"Now, Billy!" Ky said and Billy nods.
"Yeah! Let's end this!" Billy said.
Billy throws his egg at Ky, who strikes it with his Keyblade and it goes for Dark Corvo, but Dark Corvo manages to dodge the attack, only for Billy to catch the egg and throws it at Dark Corvo from behind, making him go to Ky, who delivers the final strike with his Keyblade and knocks Dark Corvo to the ground.
"Impossible! To be defeated by children!" Dark Corvo said, as he collapses and a dark hole appears on the ground and sinks into it.
"No way! We beat him!" Zatch cheered.
"We saved the Sand Ruin!" Bantam cheered.
"It's a little too early to celebrate, but yeah. He was tough, I'll give him that. Wonder how tough Dark Raven will be." Ky said.
Meanwhile at the pyramid, another plate starts to glow yellow next to the orange plate and all the plates are lighted with color and in the center of the plates shows a rainbow colored plate.
After the defeat of Dark Corvo, the group see Elder Meri-Meri.
"You all have defeated Dark Corvo and freed this land from his reign of terror. I should have expected that from a Keybearer such as yourself, Ky." Meri-Meri said.
"Huh? You already know I'm the Keybearer?" Ky asked.
"Yes. Just like I know that you all might be able to save this world from eternal darkness." Meri-Meri said.
"That's our goal here." Ky said.
"Now, as you already know, the Giant Egg is in the Giant Palace. It is the castle high above the Sand Ruin. Here is a saying to this: 'When two Chickens come face to face, the path will open. Ye, who opens the door, show your courage, and the Six Lights shall give rise to a rainbow. The answer lies there, beyond the rainbow's touch.' If you can figure out this riddle, the path to the Giant Palace will open." Meri-Meri said.
"Okay. We'll find out this puzzle." Ky said.
"Thank you. Please do hurry. As you know, the Giant Egg even has the power to reveal the Keyhole to this world. If Dark Raven even gets close to it, this world will forever be plunged into darkness." Meri-Meri said.
"Then there's no more time to waste. I need to seal that Keyhole." Ky said.
"Please do, Keybearer Ky. This world is depending on you, your friends, and Billy." Meri-Meri said.
"We won't let this world down." Elena said.
"Trust us. Dark Raven's gonna wish he didn't mess up this world." Ky said and Billy nods.
Later on, the group start moving trying to come up with a way to figure out the mentioned riddle and Menie-Funie appears.
"Everyone, do you remember what Elder Meri-Meri told you?" Menie-Funie asked.
"Yeah. He said 'When two Chickens come face to face, the path will open. Ye who opens the door, show your courage, and the Six Lights shall give rise to a rainbow. The answer lies there, beyond the rainbow's touch.' That's the riddle we gotta figure out if we're gonna find this Giant Egg." Ky said.
"Indeed. You must find out what the 'two Chickens' are in the riddle." Menie-Funie said.
"And if we do find them, we should be able to find the road that will take us to the Giant Palace!" Tails said.
"Let's hurry and find out that riddle!" Elena said.
The group start to make their way to find out what the riddle means, but Heartless appear and attack the group, but Ky and Billy defeat them and continue on through the Sand Ruin to find out what the 'two Chickens' mean in the riddle and find a way to create a path to reach the Giant Palace and as they continue their way, they manage to find a pyramid and they assume that it holds the riddle and so they go to a door.
"That pyramid should hold the riddle inside." Ky said.
"But it's sealed tight. I don't think even your Keyblade will unlock it." Blaze said.
"Then what?" Zatch asked.
"Pika!" Storm said, pointing at two Chicken statues facing away.
"Two Chickens statues..." Ky said and Elena has an idea.
"Wait! What if those two are the 'two Chickens' that need to face each other?" Elena suggested.
"That should be likely." Shadow said.
"Let's give this a shot." Ky said and Billy nods.
"It should be able to work." Billy said.
The group go to one of the Chicken statues and Ky finds a switch and pulls it, making the Chicken statue turn around until it faces the front.
The group go for the second Chicken statue that's also facing away and Ky pulls another switch and makes the Chicken statue face the front as well and it's facing the first Chicken statue.
"Something should happen now." Kiyo said.
The two Chicken statues give a rooster call while waving at each other and just then, door to the pyramid opens.
"Awesome! It's opened. Let's go!" Ky said.
The group enter the pyramid and the inside has the plates that glow green, blue, red, purple, orange, and yellow and at the center is a rainbow plate.
"The Six Lights...shall give rise." Ky said.
"Hmm. It has to mean that the plate in the center of the pyramid is that Rainbow Gate...it has to lead us to the Giant Palace!" Elena said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said in agreement.
"In that case, let's open the Rainbow Gate and free the rainbow's light!" Shadow said and Billy nods.
The group walk over to the rainbow plate and as they step on the rainbow plate, the top of the pyramid opens and a shaking occurs and just then, a rainbow beam comes from the rainbow plate and flies out of the pyramid and into the sky.
"What's happening?" Zatch asked.
"I think the path to the Giant Palace is opened." Rolly said.
"We gotta hurry to it before Dark Raven and we gotta get to the Giant Egg!" Ky said and Billy nods and the rainbow beam teleports the group out of the pyramid.
And chapter end. What did you guys think of that? I hope you enjoyed this and the rest of the story so far. Please tell me what you think of it. Anyway, next time, Ky and his friends, and Billy finally arrive at the Giant Palace to get to the Giant Egg, but confront Dark Raven, the King of the Crows and a member of the Deadly Alliance. I'll see you all in the next chapter. Please don't forget to leave some reviews. Take care, have an awesome day, and stay true. Goodbye for now.
