"I finally made it… So this is the dome, isn't it?" Chopper sighed as he made it up the stairs and into the dome. He found the room to be small, but a little round by the ceiling. There were a couple of stain-glassed windows with some of the gods on there and also a pedestal in the middle of the room near some small stairs. Around the pedestal was ice.
"Cool…" Chopper walked up the stairs and saw nothing on the pedestal. "Hey! What gives? There's nothing on the pedestal? I've been ripped off!"
"No, you haven't been ripped off," Chopper paused and listened to the voice echoing through the room. "You can hear my voice, can you not? I am that white spirit that told you to go through the maze. I must congratulate you for doing such a task, even if you struggled a bit. Perhaps you are indeed the Hero of the Stars."
"What's this whole 'Hero of the Stars' thing? I have no idea what you mean by that!"
"Ahem! Listen and listen well, for I will only tell you once. We once had a connection with the seven Crystal Stars when they were created by the Shadow Queen. We watched them carefully and checked their locations. …But things got way out of hand when we discovered thirteen others. It was a huge mess!"
"Really? A huge mess? Well, I guess I could expect that from you guys… How long did you know about the Crystal Stars anyway? A thousand years? Two hundred years? Five hundred?"
"Don't interrupt my tale!" Freezy shouted, silencing Chopper. "We discovered a bunch of other Crystal Stars and where they were, but we haven't got a clue on where all of them are. The only one we managed to find…is the Winter Star. Perhaps more know where the others are, but we know where the Winter Star is being held."
"Really? Can you tell me where it is?" Chopper asked.
"That's where I was getting to. You see… The Crystal Star is being held by the Winter God named Wintrino. Unfortunately, a dark crystal had fallen right by his temple and possessed him with dark powers."
"Dark crystal? It just fell from the sky?"
"Precisely," Freezy answered. "We heard that at least two of them fell from the sky. One was capable of possessing you with dark powers upon touching it, while the other could only be absorbed through other measures. That crystal, however, has much more dark power than the one Wintrino had found. In fact, he is what's causing these terrible blizzards these days."
"Really? I never knew that..." Chopper trailed.
"Seeing as you completed the five tests, you have my trust. I will give you what you need to get through that lake. Stand on the pedestal, please…"
"Umm… OK," Chopper jumped on the pedestal. At that moment, ice energy had appeared from above him and surged into his body.
"I have given you your reward! Now when you have the Ice ability on, you will no longer freeze from the cold water! And now, you must go. No, really, you have to. I'll show you the way out."
Freezy appeared from the ceiling and grabbed Chopper, who could do nothing to stop the spirit.
Temple entrance-
Outside, Chopper's partners were sitting on the cold snow. While they weren't as depressed as before, they were certainly unhappy to not be with their friend. Vivian and Shadower were still in a worse situation, but the rest were there to comfort them now.
"Geez... Being called a monster is the last thing I wanted to hear from someone." Shadower sighed. "I thought I'd be done with being disrespected after leaving my brothers."
"You shouldn't worry about those spirit things," Scrub assured. "They probably aren't the smartest people out there. They probably don't know you guys that much!"
"I hope that's the case..." Vivian trailed, unsure of what else to say.
Before they could any any more, they heard the sound of mumbling nearby. Up ahead, they saw three snowmen, with one being much larger than the others. An idea suddenly struck Scrub as he ran over to the larger snowman.
"Hey, maybe while we wait, we can play with these snowmen!" Scrub suggested.
"Arr! Snowmen? What do they be?" Bombette asked.
"They're made from the snow to make, well, snowmen," Berry answered. "Though, I don't think I saw those snowmen there before."
"I don't think I did..." Vivian mumbled.
"See? I told you this wouldn't work!" one of the smaller snowmen mumbled.
"Huh? Whoa! They speak!" Scrub knocked on one of the snowmen, causing it to mumble and mess with the disguise. Soon, the X-Nauts were exposed, leaving the heroes to gape.
"Uhhhhh... You punks saw nothing!" Lord Crump declared, running away. The two other X-Nauts sweat dropped before running away as well.
Mario: X-Nauts?
"What're they doing here?" Scrub gawked.
"But didn't we send Lord Crump flying in space?" Berry recalled. "This just isn't right..."
As they made their way back to the entrance, they saw Chopper get thrown out of the temple. He slowly got up and noticed his friends gaping at him.
"Oh... Uh... Hey, guys!" Chopper slowly waved. His friends were happy to see him back, but they didn't give him a hug, seeing that his Ice ability would only make them cold.
"Hey, Contadre! You're back!" Scrub cheered. "So, how was the rest of that temple? Cool?"
"Well, you could say it was pretty cool," Chopper smiled, receiving face palms from everyone. "What? It was cold there. Anyway, I don't think that's what's important. I got a power to easily go through that icy river without freezing. I...also ran into Tipral."
Mario: Tipral?
"He said something to me about 'our plans not being over and me looking angry blah blah blah'," Chopper explained, even if he made up the last part. "But let's not worry about him at the moment! I think we've got more important things to worry about!"
"Poyo, (Like Lord Crump and his X-Nauts,)" Kirby noted.
"Yeah! ...Wait, what?"
"We saw Lord Crump and two X-Nauts disguised as snowmen," Berry informed. "They just seemed to run away, though..."
"Oh... That's...not good. Well, if that's all they did, then I wouldn't worry TOO much about them! We should just try to find a way to get back to that river!"
"Looks like we have to backtrack," Shadower sighed, slowly getting up. "That'll be fun. It's like Twilight Town all over again."
"Well, I don't think so. Look." Vivian pointed to a light blue pipe that was at the side of the temple. "I think it just appeared when you came here, Chopper."
"Really?" Chopper turned to the pipe and smiled. "Hey! Maybe this might take us to that river!"
Mario: Let's hope...
"And we can even keep these blankets, too! Awesome!" Scrub cheered.
"No you can't," the light blue spirit said, his head popping out through the door. With one swift of his hand, he took their blankets and put them back in the little basket. "Those are for people waiting outside the temple only. Thank you."
The group groaned and started to shiver. However, that did not stop them from jumping into the light blue pipe to leaving this area.
On a higher peak of Snowy Mountain-
"Mmmmwee hee hee hee! Finally! We've discovered where the tenth Crystal Star is!" Beldam cackled, unfazed by the cold environment. "Marilyn! Freak-sheet! We must be ready to strike when we Chopper and his friends show up!"
"G-G-Guhh…" Marilyn grunted while she shivered.
"Beldam, m-m-m-my name's D-D-DOOPLISS! Ju-Just get it right! Sheesh!" Doopliss stammered, shivering as well. Sadly, his white sheet was not helping him in the cold. "Why are we w-w-waiting out h-here anyway? It's too c-c-c-cold!"
"Silence! We must wait here if we are to take the map from Chopper! Just because the Shadow Queen was defeated doesn't mean our plans are finished! …But it is cold out here… You got a point." Beldam said, looking down at the snowy landscape. "For now, we will wait! I don't care if it takes twenty-four hours to find Chopper, but we will wait until we find him and get that map! …And then I will take Vivian back and severely punish her for betraying us!"
"Do we REALLY need to sit out here in the cold? I feel like I'm going to get frostbite!" Doopliss complained.
"Yes! We must wait out here, you freak! If we're constantly moving, it will only be more difficult to find them! I think the best way to surprise him is by going into the shadows. Come, Marilyn! Let us wait to ambush Chopper and that foolish traitor Vivian!"
"Guh-huh!" Marilyn agreed and sank into the shadows with her ugly sister. All that was left was Doopliss, who shivered and looked around.
"What do I do?" Doopliss began to think for a moment until an idea struck him. He snickered and transformed into a Chilly. "They'll never see this coming! A harmless little snowman is something they'll LEAST expect! Man, I am so good at this!"
Icy River-
When they had jumped out of the pipe, they noticed they were back at the icy river. Many of them were relieved, knowing that they didn't have to backtrack back here.
"OK, so we're finally back here..." Chopper trailed, looking at the icy river. "Hmmmmm... Let me just test this out first."
He jumped into the river first and seemed to sink to the bottom all right. Chopper swam back up to the surface and gave them all a thumbs up.
Mario: How does it feel?
"Well... It's kind of tough to say, but it doesn't feel so cold. Just as long as I have my Ice ability on, this water shouldn't be too bad for me."
"If that's the case, then I'm going next!" Scrub declared, getting ready to jump in. Mario, however, pulled him away from the river. "Hey! What gives?"
"It may be fine for Chopper, but I don't think it will be for us..." Vivian trailed. "We'd probably freeze."
Chopper pondered for a brief moment until he felt a light bulb appear on his head. He jumped out of the water and waved his hand over the group, creating icy sparkles that surrounded them. Everyone gawked at the sparkles and then at him.
"What is this?" Shadower asked.
"It prevents you from freezing in this water," Chopper answered. "At least, I think that's what it does. See for yourself!"
"Ye think?" Bombette questioned, giving him a suspicious look.
Mario, being the brave plumber he was, decided to go into the water first and made a big leap in. To their surprise, Mario appeared to be just fine when he emerged from the water, giving them a thumbs up as an indication. The rest of the group smiled and jumped into the water to join the two afterward.
"All right! To that tunnel!" Chopper declared, swimming down to the hole on the bottom left. They were led into a small, underwater cave with many crystals on the walls. Some crystal Bloopers called Blooper Sparkles were in the water as well.
"Yar! Treasure!" Bombette shouted.
"For an underwater tunnel, it sure is nice," Berry commented.
When they got close to the Blooper Sparkle, they noticed them charge into them. Thankfully, Chopper's ice balls froze them and did away with them, allowing the group to progress into the next area. It only led into a small little room, but there was a tunnel straight ahead, while down below was another tunnel to the lower left. That led them to a chest containing an Ultra Shroom.
The other tunnel, however, led them to a room where they saw a mound of snow on the surface. The ceiling was shaped like a dome, and crystals were everywhere around them.
When they had gotten out of the water, there was a ladder leading up to a hole in the ceiling. "So... This must be the way out."
Chopper was the first to climb up the ladder and up into the hole. He was able to see the starry sky above him, along with a couple of snowflakes. when he had gotten off the ladder, the rest joined him and felt a sense of calmness. Mario felt the snow land on his nose, as well as his mustache. Vivian and Berry could feel the wet snow on their hair as well.
Berry decided to stick her tongue out and get a taste of the snowflake, which quickly melted on her tongue upon landing. "There's nothing better than eating a snowflake during the winter!"
Shadower and Bombette were about to do the same thing, but after realizing they lacked mouths, they ended up groaning.
"Oh, man! Now this is what I like when it comes to winter!" Scrub grinned. "It's not foggy out, and that weird light thing up in the sky is still there!"
"Aurora, Scrub," Berry corrected.
"Right. Say... Does anyone have any food that's hot enough?"
"Well, I have this," Chopper answered, taking out the Chili Dog he was given. "Although, it might need to be warmed up."
Placing his hand near the food, he began to warm up the Chili Dog. Scrub smiled and stuck his tongue out to grab it, but the Chili Dog had already moved out of Chopper's hand and into Kirby's mouth. He swallowed it proudly before giving a cheerful smile.
"Poyo! (Delicious!)" Kirby exclaimed.
"Thanks..." Scrub groaned.
They decided to make their way through the snowy field and noticed more trees around than before. There were even some large mounds of snow around that looked like they could be blown up. A Sniffit spotted them and began to shoot projectiles at them, but Mario jumped on its head, while Chopper froze it with his Ice Breath before sending it flying away with a kick.
"First I freeze 'em, then I'll kick 'em along! Brrrr!" Chopper said, freezing a Frost Piranha that tried to take a bite of him. He kicked the frozen enemy straight into a tree, causing it to shake and drop a Elemental Hand badge called Freezer, which freezes an enemy, but gives them an immunity to attacks.
"Chopper, matey, why don't ye let me blow some of these snowballs up?" Bombette suggested.
"All right," Chopper agreed, throwing Bombette at one of the snowballs. She blew it up to reveal an item called a Snow Bunny. He retrieved it, but he noticed he couldn't carry any more items. "Should I throw this away or keep it?"
"I think a Snow Bunny can help you recover 30 HP, but it will freeze you," Vivian informed.
Chopper gasped and he tossed the Snow Bunny onto the snow. They walked over to the next area to find the floor to be entirely made of ice. A couple of Waddle Dees with earmuffs, hats, and ice skates were skating around the ice in circles. Mario was most of all surprised.
Mario: What the..."
"Woo-hoo!" the Waddle Dees cheered as they spun around on the ice. Four snowmen were there as well, and they were paying more attention to Chopper than the Waddle Dees.
"Dude… Look! It's Chopper!" the snowman said, pointing at Chopper. They quickly hopped over to Chopper and got in their kung-fu stances.
"More snowmen? Well..." Chopper conjured up a fireball and hurled it straight at the snowmen. Vivian's Fiery Jinx only made it worse for them.
"Hot! Hot! Hot! It BUUURNS!" the snowmen began to rub their butts on the ice…until the disguises disappeared and four X-Nauts were revealed under them.
"Huh? X-Nauts?" Chopper gawked.
"Just like before..." Scrub gaped. "But there's more?!"
"You… You saw nothing! Let's beat it!" the X-Nauts quickly ran away, causing the Waddle Dees to slip and fall over on the ice, along with making Chopper and his friends spin around after they ran past them.
"Yeesh! What was that all about?" Berry wondered. "Why were there more X-Nauts?"
The Waddle Dees, on the other hand, were just as angry as they were.
"Hey! What jerks!"
"They took my earmuffs!"
"Get back here, you jerks!"
"I could've gotten injured!"
Their conversation, however, changed when they spotted Chopper and Kirby.
"Hey! Isn't that Chopper King Dedede hates so much?"
"Yeah… He is! We better get him!"
"And Kirby's here too!"
"We'll get him too!"
The Waddle Dees rushed toward Chopper, but he froze them all with his Ice Breath. With a simple kick, they were sent flying toward the Ice Block dead ahead, causing them to shatter. Chopper ice skated over to the block and used his Ultra Glove ability to fire multiple ice balls to destroy it.
"Let's go!" he rushed onward to find the ice gone and trees with Christmas decorations on them. Past the trees was a hill going down.
"You know, seeing more of these trees, I'd be interested in talking about what we would want for Christmas," Scrub mentioned. "I know for sure I would want boxing gloves help me take down fighters in the Glitz Pit! You'd get me those, right, Contadre?"
"I don't know..." Chopper trailed. "We'll see..."
"Poyo! (I know I would want lots and lots of food!)" Kirby explained. "Poyo... (And also for Pop Star to be in peace...)"
"I think I would like for my brother to be much nicer," Shadower stated.
"Treasure an' a good boat is all I want to get me hands on!" Bombette declared.
"I think I already have my present in front of me," Berry smiled, looking at Chopper. "But, I think I'd like for our planet to be back, if that's anything nice..."
Mario: I'd probably want Bowser not to kidnap Peach for a change.
"What about you, Vivian?" Chopper asked, turning to her. "What would you want for Christmas?"
"Well..." Vivian trailed, unsure of what to say. "I guess I would like the world to be in peace..."
"That's why we're on this quest, so I'm sure that will happen," he assured. "Food is something I'd definitely want, but I'd also want people not to take everything so seriously that shouldn't be taken seriously. I always like it when I don't have to take things so seriously."
"But this quest is something to be taken seriously..."
"I know. I didn't say everything." Chopper noted. "Well, on that note, I guess we should continue on."
They made their way down the hill and noticed another hill going down, but this time it was to the left. Rather than take the time to do that, they decided to jump down to the bottom of the snowy area. A Save Block was nearby, along with a pathway going to the left, right and south. The Save Block was to the right, indicating something to be there. Chopper decided to take the left way instead.
There, they found a small, snowy passageway with icy statues floating in a cold pond blowing icy gusts. Chopper realized that he couldn't reach the other side in one go, and having Berry force him to run wouldn't work. In the end, it was Vivian who helped into into the shadows to avoid the cold breath of the statues until he got to the other side. The only thing there was a Heart Block, but he hit it anyway.
Getting back to the others was much easier. There was a small passageway that he could only get through by becoming a tube. He did so and managed to return to the others with full HP and FP. They returned to the previous area and went to the passageway south.
They found a large, cold pond near some floating ice. The one closest to them, however, looked like it had a piece of paper folded. Kirby smiled and started to inhale the piece of paper in the way, revealing the ice to move up and down on the water.
"Poyo! (I haven't done that in a while!)" Kirby cheered.
Chopper jumped on the ice and noticed it was rather slippery. Regardless, he managed to maintain control of his movement and saw another floating piece of ice spinning up ahead. Jumping over there, however, would only lead him into the water. Chopper got on Scrub and let him carry him over to the other side with ease. There was another that required his assistance, and by helping him across, he was led to a chest on the last floating ice pieces containing a Life Shroom.
Of course, his inventory was full, so he decided to toss his Super Shroom away before leaving the area with the others.
"Well, that was something interesting, wasn't it?" Chopper asked his teammates, who agreed with him. "Now to see what's up ahead!"
Chopper hit the Save Block in front of him before progressing to the next area. There, they could see a large body of water in the background with some ice floating in there. It did not look like the lake they had crossed, but it definitely looked much bigger.
"Wow... I really like the view here." Chopper smiled.
Mario: It sure is nice!
Up ahead was an Ice Block standing in the way, along with a harmless Chilly that appeared to be minding its own business. Chopper was about to approach the block until it was stopped by a voice.
"Mmmmwee hee hee hee h-h-hee… You've finally arrived, Chopper!"
Beldam and Marilyn rose from the shadows, the latter shivering. The Chilly turned into Doopliss before he jumped over to them. Everyone was left in surprise as they got into a fighting stance.
"Sis? What are you doing here?" Vivian asked, her fists surrounded in fire energy.
"What are we doing here, you ask? Why… We're just here to say hello to a very good friend named Chopper!" Beldam answered before glaring at her sister. "…And I still have a score to settle with you, Vivian!"
"Haven't you learned from before? We beat you back in the Palace of Shadow, and now the queen is finally gone. What's the point in fighting us?"
"Hey, Slick!" Doopliss shouted, gaining their attention. "I told you guys I would come back to beat ya, and now I'm finally gonna do it! Yuk yuk yuk!"
Beldam turned to Doopliss with a look of anger. "I'm not finished yet, freak!"
"Oh... Yeah..."
"Anyway..." Beldam slowly turned back to the group. "Just because my queen is destroyed does not mean it's the end of us! Our plan is still going, and it has much more to it than you think."
"My guess it involves you taking us down, right, hag?" Chopper asked. "Because I highly doubt that'll work! We've already gotten more help from us anyway!"
Beldam noticed Chopper pointing to the plumber in red with a smirk. "Well well well! If it isn't Mario! The one with the magnificent mustache! It's been a while since we've seen you… I see you decided to team up with Chopper, right?"
Mario: That's right!
"Well, I'm not too surprised. But seeing you here with Chopper does seem quite dangerous. Then again, we have gotten a little stronger ourselves!"
"If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get!" Chopper declared. "Bring it on!"
"Let's go, my sort-of-lovelies! Marilyn! Freak-sheet! Let us take care of these fools who stand before us!"
"Guh!" Marilyn grunted.
"Doopliss, right? You mean 'Doopliss'? 'Cause that's my name!"
Tattle: Ugh, Beldam again! She's just really getting on my nerves! Max HP is 60, Attack is 6, and Defense is 0. Like before, she can use her magic against you. If you got the Ice ability on you, however…she can't freeze you. You can freeze HER…but I highly doubt you could. She's still a threat with her magic abilities. I wonder why she still wants that map… What is she planning?
Tattle: That's Marilyn. Y'know, the heaviest of the sisters? Max HP is 70, Attack is 8, and Defense is 0. Watch out when she boosts her attack or when she punches you with electricity! It HURTS! Those punches can even paralyze you if you're not careful! I'd be careful if I were you…
Tattle: That's Doopliss. You know him, right? Who can forget Doopliss? Max HP is 70, Attack is 7, and Defense is 0. He's not a big threat, so just save him for last if you want. All he does is shape-shift and that's it. No big deal, right? I just don't understand why he stays with Beldam. Does he even ENJOY getting punished?
"Well, we'll see if you've improves," Chopper declared, choosing to target Marilyn. He leaped in the air and stomped on Marilyn, taking 6 away from her. "Just like before, let's focus on Marilyn. I'm worried she might have a huge attack to take us down with..."
Mario nodded and performed a Super Jump on Marilyn to deal 8 damage. Afterward, Doopliss made the first strike on the enemy side by floating up and coming down on Chopper like a missile. Marilyn appeared in front of Mario and clapped her hands on him, only for him to guard it. Beldam used her own blizzard spell to attack, but they all guarded it instead.
"This is nothing different," Scrub stated. "You freaks are just using the same attacks!"
"This might be the perfect opportunity to try out the Sun Star!" Chopper declared, pulling out the Crystal Star. The Sun Star began to float into the sky in the same manner as the sun and made the stage bright. Chopper was given flaming stars to throw at the star, which he did. After enough times, the Crystal Star created a sun that was enough to damage the Shadow Sirens and Doopliss. They would take 7 damage for the next three turns now that there was a sun in the air.
"So... That be the power of Sunny Day..." Bombette trailed. "Interestin'... Anyway, it's time I got some use fer once!"
Bombette's fuse lit up, and she began to approach the three enemies. Her Bob-omb Blast managed to take 8 out of all three of them.
"Not bad... But I will assure you that we have some brand new moves to show to you." Beldam grinned.
Doopliss, meanwhile, transformed into Chopper and used his hammer to strike Chopper and deal 7 damage to him.
"Ouch… Now that did hurt…" Chopper grunted
Marilyn used her magic to unleash her lightning on them all, dealing 8 damage. Thankfully, it didn't manage to paralyze them, which was something her magic could do now.
"Mmmwee hee hee hee! Now, take this!" Beldam fired an ice beam directly at Chopper. While he did take 7 damage, it didn't freeze him in the end thanks to his Ice ability.
"That was it? That was your special move? That did nothing!" Chopper scoffed.
Meanwhile, Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss had taken 7 damage thanks to Sunny Day. Chopper attacked Marilyn with his Spring Jump, while Vivian's Fiery Jinx managed to add more to the burn the three had on them.
Doopliss leaped in the air and decided to stomp on Scrub this time. He saw the attack coming, though, and easily guarded the copy's attack. When he came back to his comrades, Marilyn raised her attack by 8, while Beldam used her Blizzard, which failed to hit them all thanks to their Superguarding.
"Crud… Marilyn just raised her Attack up… We better be careful..." Chopper warned. "I guess we better end this quick."
Chopper leaped in the air and stomped on Marilyn, while Kirby became a fireball and charged straight into Doopliss, Marilyn and Beldam. Now Marilyn was reduced to 8 HP.
After Chopper Superguarded Doopliss's hammer, everyone gulped when they saw Marilyn prepare for her attack. To their surprise, though, she only raised her Attack further. They were worried at first, but they realized her low HP did not matter in the end now that it was at 2 from Sunny Day.
Beldam's ice beam, however, ended up freezing Vivian. "Now that the traitor is frozen, you don't have to rely on her anymore!"
"Argh... You're going to pay for that!" Chopper shouted. He decided to use another one of his Crystal Stars this time, with it being Power Lift. He hadn't used it too much, but this was a perfect opportunity to use it against them. In the end, he ended up raising their Attack by 2 and Defense by 3.
Berry readied her hammer and threw it like a boomerang at all three of them, dealing 8 damage to them all and bringing Marilyn's HP to 0.
"G-G-GUUUH!" Marilyn grunted loudly as she collapsed.
"Hey, freak-sheet!" Beldam called out. "How about you turn into someone else! I'm getting sick of you transforming into someone I hate! Do that, or you're getting punished!"
"OK OK!" Doopliss shouted, transforming into Bombette. He used this opportunity to run up to Chopper and explode in front of him. When he had landed by Beldam, he felt a sort of injury overcome him. "Urgh... Exploding can be painful."
"That's 'cause yer not used to it!" Bombette laughed.
Beldam growled at the Bob-omb and fired an ice beam at her. However, since Vivian was already frozen, it didn't freeze her. Thankfully, however, Sunny Day managed to bring Beldam to 7 HP, but on the other hand, the ability ended, and the sun disappeared from the stage.
"Hmmmm... Well, that's definitely an interesting move to use in the future." Chopper stated. "In the meantime, though, let's finish them off."
Chopper made the first move by attacking Beldam with a Jump, which managed to bring her down in the same manner as Marilyn.
"Urgh… Mmmwee hee hee hee… I'll just leave the rest to you…" Beldam collapsed on the ground, leaving Doopliss as the last one standing.
"Crud… It's just me… Well I can still win this!" Doopliss declared.
"When you're down to 11 HP? Probably not." Chopper stated.
"I've got this one!" Scrub decided, fluttering above Doopliss and using his Ground Pound to reduce him to 3 HP.
Doopliss, annoyed with the transformation he had, transformed back into himself and attacked Chopper with a Head Missile. Though it was successful, he ended up losing when Chopper had struck him with his Ice Breath.
"Not again!" Doopliss moaned upon collapsing.
Chopper received 52 Star Points, along with a level up. He ended up upgrading his FP to 60 before looking down at the unconscious Shadow Sirens and Doopliss.
Now that everyone was no longer frozen or badly injured from the fight, the heroes couldn't help but look down at their enemies.
"Well, they put up a decent fight in the end, but they just got their butts kicked. ...Again." Chopper stated.
"I guess we should get going then..." Vivian trailed.
"It's probably for the better," Shadower replied, making his way ahead. Everyone else soon followed except for Vivian, who looked back at her unconscious sister. She stared down at her for a brief moment before following her friends up ahead.
Doopliss slowly opened his eyes and noticed the heroes moving on ahead. "Hey... Shouldn't we go after them?"
"Urgh... No, freak-sheet." Beldam moaned. "Let them get it. It's only a matter of time until they go right where we want them..."
Considering that there were a few Crystal Stars that weren't used during battle, I decided to put some of them to good use. Sunny Day originally did damage right on the go, but I thought it'd be more original to make it damage each turn instead.
