The Hero Alliance and Star Allies made their way through the tower as they reached the top where they saw Zan waiting for them and a hooded figure chanting in front of a large fragmented black crystal heart as smaller purple hearts flew into it.
"I'm impressed you all made it this far." Zan said.
"You find we're persistent like that." Hope said.
"And not to mention… you gave my dear Franny and Berge those hideous forms!" Zan Partizanne snapped.
"Hey! For your information sis, I happen to like having legs, okay?!" Flamberge snapped.
"Oh god, the implications behind that phrase." Hope said.
"Your luck has run out. It is the dearest wish of lord Hyness…" Zan started as she pulled out her spear. "THAT NO ONE INTERFERES!"
Bringer of Shock
Zan Partizanne
(Cue- Tales of the Abyss-Time to raise the cross)
"Everyone...leave this to me." Ace said as he drew Yato.
"Go for it! Show her how it's done." David said.
"Fine then, you will be the first to fall!" Zan said as she zipped towards Ace ready to strike before he blocked it.
"Not a chance. Raining Fangs!" Ace yelled as he jumped into the air and fired fragments of water down onto her.
"Don't get cocky, fool!" Zan said as she summoned the ring from before and was ready to fire a laser.
"Time to end this. Breaking my limit!" Ace said as he activated his second Mystic Arte. "O light that rains down on heaven and earth, bring my enemies to their destined annihilation." He said as he floated up and waved his hand down. "Fortune's Arc!" He said as light rained down on Zan, knocking her out.
(Music End)
"Alright, let's go Kirby!" Ace said as he summoned Ramuh and channeled his power as Kirby threw the friend heart causing Zan's body to split up as they both laid unconscious.
"Phew, it is done!" Ace said smiling.
"Ughhh, what happened?" Zan asked as she sat up and saw her reflection on the ground. "Oh my...seems I'm like you two now, Franny and Berge."
"It's a bit surprising at first, but you'll get used to it." Francisca said.
Just then the hooded figure perked his head up and turned around as he floated down to the group.
"Juh? What is this…interference? You… You seem to be in my way. Well then… It seems… we do not have enough energy… to revive our Dark Lord… Must we… allow ourselves… to fall… into oblivion? No. NO! No no no no no no! NONONONONONONONONO! NOOOOO, I SAAAAY!" the man screamed. "We are the masters of a power driven to the far reaches of the universe, and we have but one desire! Can one such as you possibly fathom how dearly we have clung to this dream across the aeons? How could you! You couldn't! Never ever ever! We who once faced those who were in such fear of our power that they sealed us away and banished us to the edge of the galaxy! US! As if THAT loveliness wasn't enough, they tried to erase our very existence from history! RUDE! Only through our magic were we able to overcome their science and achieve great prosperity! We alone were responsible for stopping that repulsive nightmare of a galactic crisis, yet this is how you repay us! This won't stand! It won't be forgiven! It won't be forgotten! Never ever EVER! Those who called us mad, are you listening? You left us at the edge of the galaxy to be forgotten, then went along your merry way, probably living somewhere pretty and peaceful! But know this! Your future is a farce! You have none! We, masters of a matter most dark, vow to be restored, as foretold in the book of legend, which everyone thought was just a fairy tale! It WASN'T! We have already obtained the vessel that contains our Dark Lord, and he will soon awaken and shower us in compassion! Look! The vessel of our Dark Lord is filling up even as we speak! Now the time for his greatness to enter our world has come! Welcome to a new history! A new age! The age of awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARK LORD! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" He ranted.
"Did anyone pick up anything he said?" David asked.
"Nope. Not a word." Sectonia said.
"Someone sure has mental issues. Let's kick his butt!" Al said.
"You… you all… want to stop me?" Hyness said. "You all want to stop, our glorious revival of our Lord?" he asked before seeing Flamberge, Partizanne and Fransisca in their human forms. "And you went and made ripoff versions of the perfect mages!? That's it! Die! Die! Die!" He said.
"He's lost it…" Shuichi said.
"Pitiful, Hyness. This is where your mad scheme ends!" Zan said.
"I can't believe we worked for this maniac! That's it, I'm burning his body to smoke and ash and getting his words out of my brain!" Flamberge said.
"Hyness, we happen to like these new forms. And we will not show mercy to anyone who desecrates our new lives, not even you." Francisca said.
"Franny! Berge! To arms!" Zan said.
"Grr. Just shut up! We are masters of the universe. We are the champions. We are…" Hyness said. "Juh?"
"Delaware...Smash!" Izuku said landing a hit to Hyness's face as his hood was sent flying off.
"Grrr…..Rerrrr!" Hyness growled showing his true face as a blue creature with pointed ears and a big blue nose.
"Damn he's ugly!" Fefnir said.
"Seconded, see why he always has a hood on." Nana said.
"Come forth my loyal subjects!" Hyness said bringing over the mages original bodies.
"To use our old bodies in this matter. How disgusting!" Francisca said.
"While your consciousnesses were freed, I'm afraid your magic still resides in these shells. Magic I will use to crush all of you." Hyness said absorbing it as the mages original bodies turned black with red eyes as they floated around his body.
"Jamblasted! He's got our old bodies and our magic! We gotta at least get our magic back!" Flamberge said.
"Right behind you, Berge!" Francisca said.
"We'll leave it to you all, can you do it?" Zan asked.
"I think we can get your magic and put it in your new bodies." Hope said.
"I think the only way we're even gonna get it back is if we kick this octopus head's ass." Luffy said.
"And that's all we need to hear." Pyrox said.
"Get him!" Hisui said as he fired a few wind shots at Hyness.
"Take this, you jamblasted Fools!" Hyness shouted launching the floating bodies as they each hit the ground making Ice, fire and lightning erupt.
"We'll get you for that!" Nana said.
"You want your magic, girls?" Hyness said. "Come and take it!" He called tossing Fransisca's old body right at the heroes.
"Knock it down so Franny can absorb her magic!" Flamberge said.
"I'm on it!" Leviathan said as she slammed the body down onto the ground. "Go Francisca!"
"Oh no you don't." Hyness said grabbing it. "I'm done with all of you." He said as they all formed into a wheel. "Here...time to fight...our Fiend Wheel." he said as the four rolled at them.
Francisca closed her eyes a bit before opening them. "Arctic Style...Ice Wall!" Francisca said as she put up a wall of ice in front of their path.
"Juh?" he said as they rolled upwards. "No no no!" he said as they hit the ceiling. Falling apart, they crashed into the ground. The three original bodies turned to dust as Hyness glowed as the magic in him flowed out and into the mages.
"Awwwwww, yeaaaaaah! I'm back and burning, baby! Whoo!" Flamberge said punching and kicking energetically.
Zan had a smile on her face happy to see her sisters happy as they shared a hug. "Thank you all for helping us regain our magic."
"Always happy to help." David said.
"Keep your guards up. I can feel it. It's not over yet." Sectonia said.
Just then a dark red and black aura formed around the Jamba Heart as it took to the cosmos as the space station began to collapse.
"You...you are all not nice. We go through all the trouble of trying to bring back our dark lord. And you ruined it. Or so you think. Now...with my remaining power, the heart will be finished! I call you back all great dark lord! Rise again….VOID TERMINA!" Hyness said jumping into the heart, completing it.
"We have to go after it." Mari said.
"I think it's a little late to stop it!" Hope said as the heart began to take the shape of a body.
Kirby narrowed his eyes and jumped into the air, emitting a bright glow.
"Huh? H..Hey… what's happening?! Kirby, what're you doing?!" Dedede asked.
"He is bringing us and all our allies together!" Meta Knight said as all the Star Allies bunched up into a large star like coaster ride.
The Star Allies Sparkler
"Phantom, Leviathan, unleash your power." Harpuia said as all three of them entered their armed phenomenon forms and looked at the group. "Hop on, everyone!"
"This is gonna be awesome!" Flamberge said hopping on Leviathan.
"Let's go Franny!" Zan said as she hopped onto Harpuia.
"We helped create that monster. It is only fitting that we'd help destroy it." Francisca said as she hopped onto Phantom.
"Yes. It would be disastrous if that thing is allowed to roam free. We must stop him here!" Sectonia said as she entered Lavender God Mode.
"Then let's go. The final battle awaits us!" Harpuia said.
"We're right behind you, Kirby!" Ace said.
"Yeah...but it looks like we're about to see a new foe born from the heart." Jexi said as the heart morphed and formed before it created a large body like a giant's wearing an expressionless white mask on its face as it roared.
Destroyer of Worlds
Void Termina
"Kirby!" Ace said as Sectonia, Francisca, Flamberge, Zan, Harpuia, Leviathan and Phantom took off.
"I wouldn't worry about those guys. They've got this." David said.
"Yeah. I wouldn't worry about them, right Ace?" Hope asked. "The Guardians ARE your teammates, aren't they?"
"Yeah. Fefnir believes in them, so I'll believe in them too." Ace said.
(Cue- Sonic Heroes: What I'm Made Of)
Void Termina lumbered across the starry wide battlefield as it roared before going on the attack with shockwaves from downward fist strikes.
"You won't get away!" Leviathan said as she launched her Ice Dragons. They bounced off of Void Termina's body as he continued attacking.
"He's too tough, you won't make a dent in him that way!" Flamberge said.
"The eye markings! Those are his weak spots!" Francisca said.
"Understood. We'll aim for those then." Harpuia said as he launched one of his missiles at it.
"You're not going any further!" Sectonia said firing energy blasts at another marking.
"Begone, fiend!" Phantom said as he fired homing lasers at his back.
"Burn in my flames, monster!" Flamberge said leaping off Leviathan. "Fiery malevolence dwelling in deepest earth, come from the earth and scorch my enemies! Burn Away! Eruption!" she called stabbing into another one of the markings and blasting it with fire, breaking it.
"I am right behind you Berge!" Zan said as she summoned her Thunder drum ring. "I who stand in the full light of the heavens who command thee, to open the gates of hell, come forth divine lightning...This ends now! Indignation!" She said as a huge lightning bolt struck another mark.
"I guess I'm up." Francisca said. "Wander in frigid mist! Perish to frozen fangs! Embrace the cold at the moment you fall! Final Embrace!"
Void Termina felt the frigid surge through it as another mark cracked apart and fell. Void Termina then fell as the mask fell showing a black hole of sorts.
"This is our chance to take it apart from the inside." Leviathan said.
"I hear you there! Let's finish this!" Flamberge said as they all flew inside.
A few seconds later inside the body of Void Termina, they saw the pink and blue core manifest with a Kirby like face.
"So, that's his heart, huh? Kind of creepy." Francisca said.
"I can't believe we were reviving this thing! It's time we get this big ball of badness off our backs and declare our freedom!" Flamberge said. "I'm gonna turn this thing into a burning ball of nothing!"
"Well said. To arms, sisters!" Zan said as she pulled out her spear. "For the multiverse!"
"For our new comrades!" Flamberge said pulling out her sword.
"And for...our new lives!" Francisca said pulling out her axe.
(Music Shift- Sonic 06- Solaris phase 2)
"I'm gonna burn everything away, even the darkness!" Flamberge said as Void Soul charged. "Purgatory of Flame!" She called making a vast eruption occur.
"You shall vanish like thunder! This is where your reign of terror ends! Judgement Storm!" Zan called as a storm cloud appeared as it launched many lightning bolts down on to Void Soul.
"I'll freeze you until every cell in your body runs cold! Chaotic Frost!" Francisca said as a multitude of crystals rained down on Void Soul.
Void Soul howled and shivered before the group was forced out. After which, Void Soul flew out and with anger, fired a beam at them. Before it could hit though, Kirby got in front and started firing one of his own.
"What shall we do, Lady Sectonia?" Harpuia asked.
"I've got just the thing for that." Sectonia said as she cupped her hands in front of her and started gathering energy. "Lavender God's...Final Flash!" She shouted as she fired a massive energy blast to junction with Kirby's.
Void Soul, Sectonia and Kirby pushed against their beams with all their might, until the two came out of the exchange with a powerful beam attack, staggering Void Soul. Kirby then summoned all of his allies together as they charged Void soul and battered him continuously.
"Finish him off, Sectonia!" Flamberge said.
"He's all yours!" Zan said.
Kirby then held her back as he let out a call as astral projections of all the allies he made, even those of the heroes.
"Ready, everyone? Let's go!" Sectonia said.
"Star Allies….Strike!" They all said with each individual member striking Void Soul causing it great pain. It couldn't take the pressure, and it finally exploded in full force.
"Yes! So long, 'Master'!" Flamberge said.
"Goodbye...Hyness." Zan said.
"You shall not be missed." Francisca said.
It was later that everyone gathered together in Dreamland.
"Really Zan? You're staying with Spirit Force?" Flamberge asked.
"Yes, but no matter how far we are from each other, we're always together." Zan said as she took each of her sisters hands.
"Truer words have never been said." Francisca said.
Flamberge took a look at Ace. "You better take good care of her, or I'll blast you all the way to hell."
"Don't worry, you have my full trust." Ace said as he turned to everyone.
"Where will you go from here, Ace? There has to be a way to get Luna back to full power, and you're gonna find it, right?" Hope asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure I'll find a way on my way to the Sky Universe, in the meantime, could you all look for Luna's brother as you search for the rest of the Olympos XII?" Ace asked.
"Consider it done. What does he look like, Lunamon?" Connor asked.
"I...don't remember." Luna said. "Sorry."
"I'm sure he wouldn't be hard to spot." Shuichi said.
"So, where do we go from here?" Tsuyu asked before Shuichi's phone rang.
"I better answer." Shuichi said. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me. Don't ask me how I got this number. I've got people." Kokichi's voice said.
"Wait...is that Kokichi Oma?" Jexi said.
"In the flesh. Yeah. I'm just cruising in a stolen shuttle with the rest of our classmates." Kokichi said.
"Stolen? What are you talking about?" Shuichi asked.
"Shuichi… I'm afraid I'll have to be serious here. It's Kaede! She's been kidnapped and taken to Ryme City!" Kokichi said.
"Kidnapped?! Who would do such a thing?!" Sonia asked.
"No clue. All that was left was a ticket to Ryme City and a ransom note...addressed to you." Kokichi said.
"James Flux. Of course he'd be the type to pull something like this." David said.
"But wait… Are you on your way there now? Aren't you worried about the coalition tracking you?" Shuichi asked.
"Eh. Not so much. I disabled the trackers and as for the coalition scientists...they won't be tracking us for a while after I disabled all their tracking tech and locators. Kehehe." Kokichi said laughing. "Aren't I evil or what?"
"He sounds pretty savage." Flamberge said.
"Don't worry. He's not the type to revel in killing innocents, you can be assured that much." Shuichi said.
"And should the coalition find some way to follow you, Law's got Plan B with him." Hope said.
"Exactly. But it's going to take some time to get there." Kokichi said. "Which kinda sucks, though. If he was planning a reunion party, the least he could've done was send the rest of us invitations."
"Alright, this is farewell for now. And Shuichi, good luck rescuing Kaede." Ace said as he and the rest of Spirit Force left.
"Bye, guys!" Francisca said waving.
"It's settled then. We're going to Ryme City." Dark Meta Knight said.
"Yep. I'll see you all when we get there. Ciao~!" Kokichi said as he hung up.
"Ryme City huh? I think I have heard of it before. It's a city in the Beast Universe. One overflowing with pokemon and people side by side." Twilight said.
"This actually works out pretty well. I scheduled my pick for the UA Exchange program to meet us at the Subway Station Exit." Hope said.
"You waited THIS long to pick your Exchange Applicant?" Tsuyu said.
"Yeah, he puts things off. He didn't have to do it but...better late than never." Jexi said.
"It was someone that David and I requested specifically." Shiozaki said.
"Oooh, who is it?" Uraraka said.
"I don't mean to be THAT person, but…" Hope said.
"Why don't we just wait till we arrive in Ryme City. Make it more of a surprise." Volt said.
"Sounds like a plan." Dark Meta Knight said.
"Hang on, Kaede… No matter what it takes… I will save you!" Shuichi said.
To be continued...
