Chapter 5: The Final Fight

A half hour later, N. Six, Terca, and Asula, the burlap sacs in their possession, find Nightmare in outer space. N. Six says, "We found Meta Knight and Gabriella for you." He takes off his cloak.

Nightmare smiles. "Excellent job, you three. Open the sacs."

They open the sacs, revealing Gabriella and Meta Knight inside.

"How are you alive," asks Gabriella.

"Someone brought me back from the dead, and that person is here."

Both Gabriella and MK want to know who it is. "Who is it," asks MK.

Nightmare looks at Terca. "Take off your makeup."

Terca then takes off her cloak, wipes away the makeup and puts a pink bow on her head.

It's Iris.

Gabriella gasps. "Iris!?"

Iris then says, "Yes, Gabriel. It's me, Iris."

Nightmare laughs. "She joined me after she saw what Sir Hatchet did to Necro Six."

Gabriella's eyes go in flames. "WHY?!"

"The answer is simple, my cousin," says Iris. "Necro Six is actually my brother."

She is stunned. After a moment or two of realization, she says, "So, I don't have a brother?"

"You never did. Well, not a biological one, anyways. Sir Dragato adopted 3 month old Necro Six after my family abandoned him. Sir Dragato never knew what he was in for."

Nightmare then decides to reveal something else. "Asula, take off your makeup."

Asula takes off his cloak and wipes away the makeup, revealing a light blue body and green feet. He puts on his gloves, cape, and mask.

It's Sir Hatchet.

Meta Knight is even more shocked than Gabriella is. "Sir Hatchet?! How could you betray us?!"

Sir Hatchet looks at MK. "Meta Knight, I am not who you think I am."

"Then who are you?!"

"I am Nightmare's son."

At this, MK is too shocked to even think. "W-What?"

"I am Nightmare's son, Sir Meta Knight. I only joined the Star Warriors to partake in an act. I was to join the Star Warriors, eventually kill Necro Six, let Iris bring him back from the dead, and join him and Iris to capture you and Gabriella. Oh, and did we mention we have every single Galaxy Soldier, too?"

Nightmare takes out a cage with every one of the Galaxy Soldiers inside. All of them are in that cage, not one missing. That is, except Sir Dragato, who was killed by Necro Six.

"How could you do this to us," asks Gabriella.

Nightmare then says, "We want their power so we can rule the universe. The universe is a vast place, Gabriella. We want to rule it all, so we can create planets, galaxies, and so much more, where everyone is under our control."

Gabriella's eyes go in flames. "YOU CANNOT DO THIS! I WILL STO-"

Nightmare just laughs. "How can you stop us? We have every single one of the Galaxy Soldiers. All four of us have more power than you, and you are only an 9-year-old with above average maturity. YOU CANNOT STOP US."

Gabriella looks at the cage with the Galaxy Soldiers in it, and Sir Arthur is trying to tell her something: "Steal our power."

She looks back at Nightmare, and hearing him laugh makes her furious. With a shout of fury, she is in a ball of fire. Everyone looks at her as she rises in the air, steals the Galaxia and the Galaxy Soldiers' power, and merges them together into the ultimate sword: the Altimerian.

The Galaxia transforms into a sword with a black hilt with a blue gem, and the blade is now blue fire. After Gabriella reaches full power, the blue fire transforms into a silver blade. It has the Galaxia's shape, but not the color, and the Altimerian is supposed to be the most powerful sword in the universe, combined with the Galaxia's power and the power of the Galaxy Soldiers.

Nightmare gasps. "The Altimerian!"

Iris then asks, "Altimerian?"

Sir Hatchet yells, "WHAT?!"

Necro Six says, "H-How can it be?!"

The Galaxy Soldiers smile as their power is being sucked out of them. They know their power is being used for a greater use, as the Altimerian is too powerful for just about every being in existance for one to wield it on their own. They watch the Altimerian form, and when the sword is done forming, and their power is completely gone, they decease.

Gabriella is now at full power, and she, with a shout of fury, strikes at Nightmare. The sword penetrates his skull and has sliced his head in half.

Nightmare is now dying. "YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME! I WILL LIVE ON!"

Gabriella says to Nightmare, "So you thought, Nightmare."

With a scream, Nightmare disappears into thin air for good.

He is dead.

The power seems to also have affected Iris, Necro Six, and Sir Hatchet. They all begin to disappear in thin air, and with a scream from all three of them, they all die.

The ball of fire surrounding Gabriella disappears, and her firey eyes are extinguished. The Altimerian transforms back into the Galaxia, and Gabriella gives Meta Knight back his sword. "Nightmare is dead," says Gabriella.

"I believe so, Gabriel."

They both smile at each other, but their smiles disappear when they look at the cage. All of the Galaxy Soldiers are dead. "They're dead," says Gabriella. "Won't they come back?"

"No," says MK, "they won't."

She is absolutely crushed. "What?! Why not?!"

"The Altimerian used up all of their power. When combined, the Galaxia's power and the Galaxy Soldiers' power creates the Altimerian, and their power was used up."

She then says, "I understand."

He grabs her little stubby hand and says to her, "Let's go home."

However, she is still disturbed by what she saw earlier. She makes him let go of her and backs away from him. "I don't wanna go back with you. I saw what was in those rooms, and you even killed Magolor. How can I forgive you for tha-"

"Just trust me, Gabriel." He grabs her hand once again. "Come with me."

Reluctantly, she goes with him back to Dreamland.

When they get back home, he says to her, "I had someone come and redesign those rooms for you. I think you'll like who I brought."

They go inside the house, and he says throughout the house, "Someone wants to see you!"

Someone then comes out of the rooms, and Gabriella is shocked. She never thought she'd see him again, let alone alive.

It's Magolor.

"Magolor!" She rushes to him, and the two reunited friends hug.

They let go after a second or two. "I thought you were dead," she says to him.

"Why would you think that," he asks her. "I was never!"

She wants to ask how, but she doesn't care. All she knows is Magolor, her friend from years ago, is back, and that is good enough for her.

She looks back at Meta Knight, rushes to him, and hugs him back. "Thank you! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

They let go after that, and Magolor then goes to them.

MK then says to Magolor, "I know how much you mean to her, Magolor, but I have a request to make."

"Yes?"

"You see, her father recently passed away."

Magolor is shocked, then saddened. "I'm so sorry."

Gabriella says, "It's OK."

MK then continues, "Both of her parents are now gone, and since you have the closest connection with her...I ask you to be the caretaker of her."

She looks at Magolor, and he says, "Absolutely!"

Gabriella is ecstatic. After several seconds, she then asks a question. "Why would need to redesign those rooms, then?"

"Which is what I was going to say next," says MK. "I had Magolor redesign those rooms, because you can visit any time you'd like, and I wouldn't mind a bit."

"Thank you so much," she says to MK. "Thank you!"

"It's not a problem."

Magolor then says, "We will need to go, then. We still have so much to do!" He grabs Gabriella's stubby hand.

"We will see you soon," he tells MK, "but until then, we wish you the best."

"Same for you," MK says.

Gabriella says, "Bye!", and both Magolor and Gabriella disappear, not too suddenly, but not too slowly.

MK smiles, knowing everyone is satisfied. "My work here is done."

Everyone is now happy. Gabriella reunited with someone she loved, Magolor is now her caretaker, Meta Knight knows he has done good for her, and the Galaxy Soldiers died rightfully, by giving up their power and lives to help Gabriella defeat Nightmare. All is now well.

The End.
