"So, you honestly thought that you would destroy the Chaos Heart? Think again!" Dimentio looked down at the badly beaten Count Bleck and smirked. "As for him… I was about to give him the everlasting peace he so desperately wants!"
"You're still alive, Dimentio?" Chopper gaped.
"I had a feeling that this clown would be alive…" Tipral growled, glaring up at Dimentio. "Leave now. I'm here to claim this Chaos Heart for my OWN!"
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Of course I'm alive. This is my moment." Dimentio answered. "Even if the count…or Tipral dies, the Chaos Heart won't disappear if it's in my hands!"
"You couldn't even stop me, Dimentio…"
"But I needed the power of the Pure Hearts to defeat Count Bleck… I couldn't do that on my own. So I had you do all of the sweaty labor for me."
"So you were simply WAITING for me to defeat Count Bleck so you could step in?!" Chopper gasped.
"Exactly, Chopper! You sure are good at finding out evil plans!" Dimentio said sarcastically. "Too bad you're too late... But luckily for me, you even used your Pure Hearts to defeat Count Bleck! If they make greeting cards to thank people for helping with evil plans, I owe you one, Chopper."
"What are you saying?!" Tippi asked.
"Oh, it's very simple. It means that everyone here has no value to me. So, I plan on ending all of your games." Dimentio grinned as he raised his finger. "They're all yours, Tipral!"
"Wait, Tipral?" Chopper gawked.
With a snap of his finger, Tipral suddenly walked over to the Chaos Heart, not appearing to do this on his own.
"What the… What's happening to me?!" Tipral exclaimed.
"Yeah, what IS happening?!"
"Oh, you'll see, my friend!" Dimentio smirked. With a snap of his finger, a Floro Sprout suddenly appeared on Tipral's head.
"I am here, at your service!" Tipral shouted in a robotic voice. "What is your bidding, Master Dimentio?"
"What the… When did this happen?!" Chopper gasped.
"When I sent Tipral here, I planted a seed in the fertile soil of his unconscious… And now that seed has sprouted spectacularly!" Dimentio held up the Chaos Heart and looked down at Tipral. "Tipral, run along and get ready for your big entrance."
Tipral slowly nodded and headed off, while Dimentio cleared his throat.
"Now is when I finally make my grand entrance! Now, ladies and gentlemen… Get ready to witness the greatest magic show you'll ever see!"
Dimentio cackled as he tossed the Chaos Heart and the Dark Star Scepter into the air. With one flash, it began to get sucked into a dark void, along with Tipral. As much as he wanted to fight off the Floro Sprout's power, not even he could overcome its power. The whole room began to tremor violently, making the room suddenly transform.
All of the platforms that Chopper fought Count Bleck on suddenly had Dimentio-like faces on them and they began to move. Also, Tipral seemed to appear, but he looked completely…different than before. His face was kind of like Dimentio's mask, the right side being black with a white eye and the other side being lavender with a black eye. He was also wearing the same jester hat that Dimentio had on him and his arms and hands were black with white outlines, just like his feet. The Dark Star Scepter was also in his hands.
"Urk… What… What IS this?!" Tipral exclaimed, looking at himself while trying to fight off the Floro Sprout. "I look… WHY am I like this?!"
"Yeah! I don't get it… WHY is he like this?!" Chopper gawked. "He's still the same size as before, but he looks just like you!"
"Ah ha ha ha. Exactly. You see, the Dark Prognosticus stated that the dark one has the powers needed to cause utter destruction to the universe. And with my power added to the mix, I'll be unstoppable! There's nothing you can do to stop me!"
"No… Stop!" Count Bleck cried. Dimentio simply teleported the count, Nastasia and Tippi away.
"Count Bleck! You looked so tattered and pathetic, I nearly forgot about you. I'll squeeze the life out of you later. Just wait over in that dimension, OK? Great."
With that, Dimentio flew over to Tipral and merged with him. Now the eyes of Tipral were like Dimentio's: happy.
"Now the Chaos Heart is mine! I will use this to destroy all worlds…and create perfect new ones! So, shall we get started, my antennaed friend? Now I have all I need…to become the king of all worlds! You may call me…Dimentral!"
"Dimentral? Oh, come on! That's one of the lamest names I've ever heard!" Chopper tossed a couple of fireballs straight at Dimentral, but not even those did anything to him.
"Huh? What gives? I can't do anything against you?!"
"Exactly! That is because no attacks can harm me!" Dimentral cackled. "Without those Pure Hearts, you're helpless! No one can save you now!"
"Man… This isn't good…" Chopper began to pray once again, but one of the platforms shot a black fireball at him, interrupting him.
"Oh, no, Chopper… Praying won't save you now. Your prayers only got the Pure Hearts to help you…"
"Wait... Pure Hearts... Then that means..."
"Anyway, hold still while I destroy you," Dimentral raised his finger and fired a magic particle at Chopper, knocking him off a platform.
"Luckily, with this kind of power, I'm not as vulnerable as I was as Super Dimentio… I obviously had a weak point on me then!"
"And I'm guessing Super Dimentio stunk," Chopper followed Dimentral up to a platform and tried to kick him with flames on his feet. But, just like before, it didn't do anything. He even tried hitting him with his hammer, but to no luck.
"Ah, silly Chopper! You can't do a thing, remember?" Dimentral twirled his scepter before firing a dark star at him.
"I thought only Tipral had the skills to use that thing!" Chopper frowned.
"That's exactly why I needed him – so I could have his powers as well! It makes it all better for me!" Dimentral fired a beam of dark energy from the scepter at Chopper leaving him severely wounded.
"So, Chopper… Do you mind if I end your game so you can see all of your friends?" Dimentral asked as he raised the Dark Star Scepter up.
"I'm not going to give up just yet," Chopper shook his head at the jester/dark being. "I can't give up just yet."
He rushed toward Dimentral and tried to stomp on him, punch him and even use Cudge's hammer and Hommissile. Dimentral began to tap his foot and yawn as Chopper kept attacking him with blinding speeds.
"Oh, come on! Nothing works?!" Chopper did notice the rainbow-color barrier around Dimentral, showing that he was indeed invincible.
"So… Nothing works on this guy. Just great."
"Ah ha ha ha. I am now invincible! There is nothing you can do! And now it is time for the destruction to begin… Let it begin with you, as you wallow in helplessness like upside-down turtles! ULTIMATE POWER!"
"Not on my watch!" Chopper tried to stop Dimentral, but he simply struck him in the face with his scepter.
"Ugh… I almost forgot that you'll try to stop me…" Dimentral grabbed Chopper and held him up with all of the dark power around his arms. "I suppose destroying you first would be the smarter decision."
"No way!" Chopper managed to toss a fireball at Dimentral's face. Despite not harming him, it caused him to release Chopper.
"Oh, man… I wish I had some help to stop this guy… Is this the end for me?" Chopper gulped.
Dimension D-
"We have to do something! We have to save Chopper!" Tippi cried. She was trapped in Dimension D with Count Bleck and the unconscious Nastasia.
Count Bleck turned to Tippi. "I'm so sorry that this had to happen, Timpani… As much as I want to do something, there's nothing we can do. Without the Pure Hearts, there is no way to counter the Chaos Heart. All we can do is give up…"
"What are you SAYING?! You promised me ever since the day we were together that we would always try to find happiness around the world! Was that all just a lie?!"
Count Bleck slowly shook his head. "No, it was no lie… But without the Pure Hearts, all worlds are doomed. What can we do? They are the only things capable of countering the Chaos Heart…"
Tippi fluttered over to Count Bleck. "Blumiere! Snap out of it! How can you think it would end here, after all we have suffered without each other?! We found each other again because we stayed alive… How can you admit defeat now?! I will not! I will not give up! You promised we'd find happiness. You PROMISED!"
"That's right, count!"
"Hey, who just said that?" Thoreau asked. Mimi, O'Chunks and Dark teleported into the room and walked over to them.
"O'Chunks? Mimi? Dark? How did you find us here?" Tippi asked.
"Oh, it was very simple. O'Chunks, go ahead and explain." Dark suggested.
"Ah, she lies like a wee rug, this lass! Nastasia told us, Count! She said you'd come 'ere… Or… She said she FELT you'd be here…or somethin' along those lines." O'Chunks explained.
"Nastasia…" the count turned to the unconscious Nastasia.
"Look, we're not exactly 'good guys' right now, but we all made a promise to stick by Tipral's side. And what happened? Apparently Dimentio got a hold of him and is using him for himself." Dark shook his head. "I never trusted that clown anyway. Look what he's done!"
"Yeah! I know! My poor, sweet Tippy is being used by that no-good Dimentio!" Mimi said angrily. "There's no way he's getting away with this! Tippy has treated us well, and we wanna try to help him!"
"I… I don't know why to say… Thank you…" Count Bleck shed a small tear as he smiled as his minions. But that caused a white flash to appear, summoning the eight Pure Hearts.
"What're the Pure Hearts doin' 'ere?" O'Chunks gawked.
The Pure Hearts then regained their power, healing Count Bleck of all the damage that Chopper dealt to him.
"Hmm… What's this?" Count Bleck gawked. "Pure…Hearts? But why?"
"Isn't it obvious, Blumiere? Pure Hearts are the very feelings of our souls. As long as we feel love, they live on!" Tippi fluttered into the center of them all. "I will take these to Chopper!"
Castle Tipral, Inner Sanctum-
Chopper was still panting after all of the severe damage from Dimentral, while he himself was simply hovering off the ground, completely unharmed.
"Hmph… Let's stop wasting time and finish this, shall we? Ciao!" he was about to finish him off until he saw a white flash. "Huh? What's going on?"
The eight Pure Hearts appeared around Dimentral. "What?! The Pure Hearts?! I thought you wasted then all fighting Count Bleck!" with one flash…nothing happened.
"…Huh? Nothing happened?" Chopper gawked.
"My my! It looks like they have no effect on me!" Dimentral grinned. "Well, I guess I should end this now."
"Oh, man… I can't believe this! Is this the end for me?!"
"Hey! THAT'S not the way to talk, Chopper!"
"That voice… It can't be…" Chopper whirled around and saw Blade walking over to him.
"Dude, you just can't give up the fight now! I mean, we've made it THIS far and we can't just give up!"
Dimentral paused for a minute. "What's this? One of you live? Oh, well. Two's not enough to take me on."
"Poyo! (I don't think so!)" Kirby came walking into the room as well, looking up at Dimentral. "Poyo! (There's NO way we're going to let you win this battle, Dimentio!)"
"Kirby! You're even here!"
"Hey, don't forget about me!" Sonic came zipping into the room. "You can't start this party without me!"
"I don't believe it! You guys are all alive!" Chopper shed a small tear of happiness. "But…how?"
"Oh, what was pretty interesting was that I ended up falling through the floor before getting flattened by the ceiling." Blade explained.
"Poyo, (I fell right through the floor too and landed on Blade,)" Kirby stated. "Poyo… (Apparently it was a soft landing…)"
"I'm not sure what happened to me, but I think they founded me out cold after being sucked into the portal…" Sonic trailed.
Blade looked up at Dimentral and drew his katana. "All right, Dimentio! Now you've gotta deal with all of us!"
"Ah ha ha ha," Dimentral paused for a minute and pondered. "Wait… 'When the four heroes are united…' Wait a second…"
Chopper, Kirby, Sonic and Blade began to glow a white color as the invincibility on Dimentral suddenly wore off.
"What? What's…going on? I…I'm not invincible anymore…"
With one flash, all four of them recovered all of their HP. Not only that, but Chopper was armed with Galaxia in his hands, and was now donning a green floppy hat.
"Galaxia! This is the sword that Meta Knight's been looking for!" he gasped.
Now's our chance…" Tippi said as she fluttered into the scene. "The Pure Hearts have given us power! Let's get him!"
"Tippi! …Yeah, we need to do that now!" Chopper nodded.
"Poyo! (You're right, Tippi! We can't let him win!)" Kirby agreed.
"Yeah, there's no way we're going to lose to a freakin' clown!" Sonic stated.
"Tippi! You're right! Let's jump him!" Blade nodded.
Chopper turned to Dimentral. "All right, Dimentral! Now you've gotta face all of us! NOW you're going down!"
"You foolish heroes! I will make sure you NEVER see the light for all eternity!" Dimentral's anger sounded somewhat like Tipral's, due to being fused together. "Especially you, Chopper! YOU will die first!"
"Wow… Looks like someone's angry." Chopper rushed straight at Dimentral and struck him with his sword, dealing some damage to him.
"Wh-What?! That can actually hurt me?! How is this possible?!" Dimentral's eyes suddenly changed to Tipral's angry eyes.
"What? I… I have some control over myself?" Dimentral looked around the room and then at himself. "Ugh… I'm still in this stupid look. But, since I have the Chaos Heart, I'll focus on getting rid of Chopper now."
Dimentral twirled the Dark Star Scepter around and began to fire multiple dark stars at the four. Blade brought his katana up and tried to block some of the attacks, although he got hit in the knee by one of them. Kirby inhaled one of them and spat it at Dimentral, and Sonic simply used his speed to dodge them. Chopper too tried blocking, but he managed to slice through some of them.
Chopper decided to use Tippi's powers to gather information on one of the platforms first. They looked somewhat weird to him for some reason.
"When he signals, Dimentral will attack this platform. Watch for fireballs!" Tippi informed.
"All right, now let's see what Dimentral's stats are now," Chopper used Tippi's powers again, but this time, on Dimentral.
"That's Dimentral, a freakish blend of Dimentio, the Chaos Heart, and Tipral… That being has immense power, even though he's smaller than Count Bleck... Max HP is 200. Attack is 9. Defense is 4. He'll constantly fire his spells at you and also fire rapid dark energy at you with the Dark Star Scepter… He moves fast, so you want to try to catch up to him as much as you can… Those platforms are needed to catch him… If he's ever low on HP, he'll try to recover about 35 HP, so be careful… Chopper, you must win this battle, or else all worlds will possibly be destroyed…" Tippi informed.
"Whoa! 200 HP and an Attack of 9?! That's just… Wow." Chopper had no idea what to say. "…Well, we're going to have to do a lot to take this guy down then."
"Well, then let's do this!" Sonic jumped on a couple of platforms and struck Dimentral with a Homing Attack twice before getting knocked off the ground by him. Kirby got on Carrie and struck him by jumping on him.
"Ugh! Get off of me, you pests!" Dimentral growled, firing a dark beam of energy around the room. All of them got struck by the attack, and boy, was it a deadly one.
"I've made it this far to get the Chaos Heart, and now I'll finally use its power to destroy you all!" Dimentral fired a couple of magic projectiles around the room. Kirby inhaled one and spat it back at him, followed by getting on Carrie and jumping on him.
"Hey… Why does your voice sound like Tipral?" Chopper asked.
"That's because I AM Tipral!" Dimentral retorted. "Now that the Chaos Heart's in my hands, I can use it to do what I've always wanted to do: destroy you."
"I had a feeling you were still there, Tipral," Chopper jumped up a couple of platforms and slashed at Dimentral with Galaxia. However, he got struck in the face by the scepter itself.
Before Tipral's part of Dimentral could say anything else, his eyes changed back to the happy kind. "Now now… There's no need to be like that! Now watch what I can do this time!"
Dimentral launched himself in the air, kind of like what Super Dimentio would do. He began to come down toward Chopper, but ultimately missed.
"Ha! You missed!" Chopper smirked.
"True, but I can always do this," Dimentral raised his arms and created a box that surrounded Chopper. He snapped his finger and struck him with an explosion within the box.
"Don't give up just yet, Chopper!" Blade shouted as he jumped toward Dimentral and slashed at his with his katana, followed by hurling Hommissile at him. Dimentral managed to hit him, but he got to hit him with a couple of shurikens.
"Poyo… (I don't know how much we've taken him down yet…)" Kirby trailed as he managed to kick Dimentral. "Poyo. (I mean, this guy has A LOT of HP.)"
"Well, Tippi DID say that he has about 200 HP, so yeah, that's a lot," Chopper jumped over Dimentral and tried to strike him with Galaxia. However, Dimentral tried to push the sword away with the Dark Star Scepter.
"I'll make sure that you fall like a fat kid crossing a pit of spaghetti," Dimentral smirked as he kicked Chopper and then fired a dark star at him.
"No way, Dimentio!" Chopper blocked the attack and fired a Sword Beam directly at Dimentral, knocking him back over by the wall.
"What the heck are you even saying?!" Blade gawked as he jumped onto some of the moving platforms, avoiding some of the fireballs the platforms were firing. Tippi seemed to understand how it worked.
"Guys! When you see the platform's face change, that's when you need to beware of its fireballs!" Tippi informed.
"Thanks for the help, Tipps!" Sonic gave her a thumbs up before he used a Whirlwind to send Dimentral flying and then struck him twice with two Homing Attacks.
"Man! Even if you're small, you don't really seem to put up much of a defense!"
"Oh, really?" Dimentral raised a finger and fired a magic projectile down at Sonic. "Now here's my next magic trick! A hedgehog in a box!"
"Hey! What're you trying to do, perform a dumb magic trick? Why don't you just stop with it and be a good little clown and fight us."
"Well, the correct definition for me is actually a jester, but you'll understand what this magic trick is," Dimentral raised his arms up and created a box that surrounded Sonic. "And now…"
With a snap of his finger, Sonic was struck with a violent explosion. Add a fireball from the platforms and that made him take some heavier damage.
"Whoa… So he's using those too? Dang…" Chopper jumped over to one of the platforms and deflected Dimentral's magic spell back at him.
"Oh, so it's one of these, huh?" Dimentral swung the spell back at Chopper, who did the same thing.
"Poyo! (Hey! This kind of reminds me of the Legend of Zelda when Link is using his sword to deflect the spell back at Ganon or something!)" Kirby remarked. Nevertheless, he got into action and got on Carrie to jump on top of Dimentral.
"What the… OW!" Dimentral was struck by his own spell, making him teleport somewhere else in the room.
"Well, did I mention that I can do THIS too?!" Dimentral snapped his finger and teleported once again. This time, when he appeared, there were three Dimentrals flying around the room.
"Oh, boy… This isn't looking nice." Chopper gulped as he raised his sword. The three Dimentrals fired five spells each at the four, striking all four of them at once and knocking them to the floor.
Dimentral was about to attack with another spell, but his eyes changed back to the angry eyes of Tipral.
"I think I have a better idea to beat you guys," Dimentral snapped his finger and they were all struck by Star Magic.
"Oh, great… It's Tipral now." Chopper groaned. He immediately jumped out of the way of Dimentral's Star Spear and used a Spinning Sword attack to strike Dimentral, making him teleport over by Kirby.
"Poyo! (You're not going to strike me, you cruel person!)" Kirby attempted to inhale Dimentral, but he teleported behind him and simply whacked him across his back with Star energy.
"Don't try to use your inhaling on me, Kirby. I KNOW that you're going to constantly use it." Dimentral raised his arm and fired another magical spell directly at Kirby, but Blade jumped in and struck him with a fire slash.
"Hey! I need to do something too, so I'm fighting you!" Blade shouted, kicking Dimentral to the wall and then attacking him again with his katana.
Dimentral got himself up and managed to block Blade's katana. His eyes flashed as Blade was suddenly blinded.
"AUGH! MY EYES!"
"Now I have an advantage!" Dimentral hurled a shadow ball at Blade and then sent him flying across the room with a dark beam.
"Ugh… If only Samus's Light Beam were here… Surely THAT would have some sort of effect on him." Chopper sighed as he gripped Galaxia. "Well, at least I have this thing on me…"
"Chopper! There's no need to waste time speaking! You gotta do something!" Tippi shouted.
"I know, I was trying to do something right now," Chopper immediately rushed into action, slashing at Dimentral a couple of times with Galaxia and firing a Sword Beam to finish off his attack.
"Ugh… I need a new strategy…" Dimentral groaned, blinding Chopper with his flashing eyes and then rapidly firing dark stars at his direction like a machine gun.
Chopper was knocked to the ground, while Dimentral teleported right in front of him. He grabbed him by the antennae and began to constantly punch him across the face with his own fists.
"Tipral… Why are you trying to do this?! What ever happened to Dimentio?!" Chopper cried.
"When I'm in control, I don't need to worry about that stupid clown! But when I'm through with you, I'm going to try to find a way to get him OUT of this body so I'm back to normal!"
"Poyo? (Why can't you just stop being angry and at least enjoy your life when you can?)" Kirby asked, kicking Dimentral, only to get knocked over by the Dark Star Scepter.
"I will only enjoy life when my enemies are DEAD!" Dimentral threw Chopper across the room and struck him with a dark beam.
"CHOPPER!" Tippi screamed as Chopper was left all battered up.
"Now then…" Dimentral turned to Sonic, but his eyes suddenly changed back to Dimentio's. "Why are you constantly trying to fight back, Tipral? I thought the Floro Sprout would keep you under my control?!"
"Maybe that's because the Pure Hearts have allowed me to regain control of myself!" Tipral's side spat back.
"I see… Well, this body is now mine anyway!" Dimentio's side gestured the platforms to fire at the four heroes. Kirby managed to inhale one of the fireballs and spit it back at Dimentral.
"Let's see how you handle this!" Dimentral snapped his finger and reappeared with two clones. The original version was the first one to fire five spell projectiles at the group.
"Whoa! That's fifteen all together!" Sonic gasped as he fled from the attacks. He jumped off the wall and jumped a couple of platforms to perform a Homing Attack on the real Dimentral.
"Man, I think I might need to use that Light Speed Attack on this guy," Sonic grunted as he landed on the ground. "I think it could do some real damage to this guy."
"So, you want us to cover you so you could charge up the attack?" Blade asked.
"That would be very appreciative, thank you."
"Then I'll distract Dimentio so he doesn't pay attention to you," Chopper announced, jumping toward Dimentral's direction.
"Poyo! (I think I should help him as well! It might be a good strategy!)" Kirby got on Carrie and made his way up the platforms, inhaling one of the fireballs one of the platforms fired.
"Ah ha ha ha! There's no way you can defeat me, you know…" Dimentral cackled. "Just watch this!"
Raising his arms, they began to sparkle as Dimentral recovered some HP. "You see? My magical powers allow me to heal myself!"
"Uh oh! That's bad…" Chopper gulped. "Well, that's not going to stop me from taking you down, though!"
"Just try."
"Then I shall!" Chopper fired a Sword Beam directly at Dimentral, but the Dark Star Scepter helped him block the attack easily. However, when he fired another spell at Chopper, he swung it back at him.
"Oh, so you're doing this again? Oh, why must I do this…" Dimentral swung the scepter back at the spell and back at Chopper. "This is almost like a bunch of lazy geese playing a game of hot potato!"
"And once again, your similes don't make any sense to me…"
"You know you can't keep this up forever…"
"Oh, yeah? Maybe it will!" Chopper swung the spell back at Dimentral, but what the jester didn't see coming was Kirby spitting out one of the fireballs at his direction, leaving him open to get struck by the spell.
"ACK! You little…!" Dimentral created a box around both Chopper and Kirby and made it explode, dealing some severe damage to them. "I don't see why you keep distracting me…"
"Oh, there's a reason…" Chopper smirked.
"Ready? GO!" Sonic came at Dimentral in blinding speeds, striking him in every second and leaving the jester completely open for an attack.
"WHAT?! What's this?!" Dimentral's eyes changed back to Tipral's. "Ugh… What was that attack?!"
"I believe Dimentio decided to let Tipral take over so he could endure some of the pain…" Tippi trailed.
"Well, it doesn't matter who it is. We need to take him down!" Blade tossed a couple of shurikens directly at Dimentral and then attacked with a flaming slash. "By the way… Where are our Pixls?"
"Dimentio teleported them out of here…" Chopper groaned. "They could've been some GREAT help, though."
"Well, we can still rely on our moves, though…" Sonic trailed, attacking Dimentral with a Whirlwind and then a Homing Attack as he came flying to the ground.
"Ugh, I had ENOUGH!" Dimentral snapped his finger and sent Sonic flying toward Chopper with Star Magic.
"I think I've got another thing in store for you!" Dimentral began to glow a bright purple color as he clenched his fists. "Surely this will be strong enough to eliminate you all!"
"Uh oh… He's going to use his Star Blast!" Chopper gulped. "We NEED to stop that!" Chopper fired a Sword Beam at Dimentral, but it didn't seem to do anything.
"Maybe if we stay as far away from him as possible, we won't be hit…" Tippi suggested.
"I think that's not a bad idea," Chopper ran over to the right corner with his friends and witness Dimentral unleashing his Star Blast.
"Wow… It didn't actually hit us." Sonic said with a blank look.
"That's good for me!" Blade tossed a couple of shurikens directly at Dimentral's hat while he was now Dimentio.
"Seeing as that you're soon to be dead, I might as well try to end this on a good note!" Dimentral raised his arms again and summoned a couple of boxes. Kirby, Sonic and Blade got trapped in them.
"Now is the time to set it off!" before he could snap his finger, Chopper stomped on him, interrupting his attack.
"Ack! Why you little…! You're going to pay for that!" Dimentral shot another one of his spells at Chopper, only to have him strike it back at him.
"Yeah, it looks like it's this again…" Chopper groaned as Dimentral fired the spell back at him. Chopper did the same thing, swinging his sword and firing it back at him. Luckily, the boxes he created ended up disappearing, making the other three able to attack.
"All right, I think I have a plan!" Sonic curled up in a ball, getting as much light energy that he needed. Blade, on the other hand, managed to jump over to Dimentral and strike him with a flaming slash.
"AGH! This will NOT stop me from getting hit!" Dimentral roared, swinging the spell back at Chopper.
"I could do this all day," Chopper smirked, swinging it back at Dimentral.
"Poyo! (Well how about THIS?!)" Kirby inhaled a fireball from one of the platforms, but first struck Dimentral with a jump while on Carrie. Then he spat it back at the psychotic jester.
"You're still not stopping me!"
"Ready? GO!" Sonic immediately went into action, striking Dimentral with blinding speeds again. This was enough to make Dimentral exhaust himself and also get struck by his own attack.
"No… This can't be the end!" he cried.
"Oh, I believe it is!" Chopper smirked as he jumped up and raised Galaxia. "Galaxia… SWORD BEAM!"
With one swing, a green beam of sword energy fired directly at Dimentral – at the cost of losing his ability, of course.
"Oh, no! It's gone!"
But, luckily, Dimentral was struck by the attack, and boy, was everyone satisfied. With a couple of white flashes, the jester screamed in agony.
"Urgh-GAH?!"
The four landed on the ground as Dimentral fell to the ground as well, looking down at the ground in pain.
"How did you do it… How could I have lost with the power of Tipral, the Dark Star Scepter, and the Chaos Heart…" Dimentral questioned himself. "Was this truly meant to happen to me?"
"Poyo! (Why, of course it is!)" Kirby nodded. "Poyo! (You've done ENOUGH damage for today! I think you deserve this!)"
"Yeah, Kirby's right. I think you mostly believed in what those tales had to say." Chopper agreed. "What did we focus on? Beating you up!"
"Nothing is decided entirely by fate, you know… All things determine their destinies. Perhaps you'll soon learn the next time you ever plan on returning…" Tippi explained.
Dimentral looked up at the group and grinned sinisterly. "Oh, I'll learn soon enough! When you all die!"
He got up and raised his finger. "I still have one last move to use against you! You WILL die from this!"
"Whoa!" Chopper got a fireball ready to shoot back at Dimentral, but he soon paused for a minute.
"No... That is not YOUR job!" Dimentral lowered his finger and raised the Dark Star Scepter up instead. Using its power, it was able to get Dimentio out of Tipral's body and return him back to normal.
"Finally… I'm back to my normal self." he said, sighing in relief.
"Wait… What the…" Chopper tilted his head. But, the Chaos Heart ended up flying up into the sky and disappearing. As for Dimentio… He was rendered unconscious by Tipral's scepter.
"Did you just knock out Dimentio?" Tippi gawked.
"Yes, I did do that," Tipral folded his arms. "But this is only the beginning, you fools! Chopper, this is where we return to being enemies."
"I thought you were always my enemy,"
"True, but this is where we both take parts! Since I have you right where I want you…" Tipral caught the Dark Prognosticus that fell from the sky, then aimed the scepter at him. "I think we can finally end this!"
But before he could attack, there was a violent tremor. Count Bleck, O'Chunks, Mimi and Dark appeared in the room.
"Tippy! You're OK!" Mimi tackled Tipral, embracing him in a tight hug.
"I thought the Chaos Heart would disappear if the person controlling it was beaten by the heroes…" Count Bleck pondered. "I think there's something wrong here… Is the Chaos Heart going on a rampage…? It may not last long, but I believe it could possibly end all worlds…"
"So… What is there to do now?" Sonic asked.
Count Bleck pulled his hat down. "There is…one thing that I can do. …Or rather, what we can do." his cape opened up as he summoned a large door. It was ENORMOUS. Although, not as big as the Thousand-Year Door.
"This way!" Count Bleck rushed into the door, followed by Chopper, Tippi, Kirby, Sonic Blade and the Pixls. Tipral, however, gestured his minions not to go in.
"Wait… Why do yeh want us not teh go in?" O'Chunks asked.
"Because, I have some better ideas," Tipral turned to Dimentio. "Although I HATE what he did, he IS needed to help stop the heroes."
"What do you plan on doing with him then?" Dark asked.
"I'm going to wipe out all of his memories of what he did," Tipral explained as he raised the Dark Star Scepter. "I will make sure he stays loyal to me at ALL times. If that doesn't work, then we have to get rid of him."
Using the scepter's power, he drained all of the memories from Dimentio of his psychotic nature of trying to claim the Chaos Heart for himself. He then teleported the jester elsewhere afterward. But what was strange was the way he teleported him out was kind of like Dimentio's teleportation.
"What the… Did I just do that?!" he gawked.
"So… Dimentio has to stay with us?" Mimi frowned.
"He'll still have that stupid personality, but I made sure that he stayed loyal to me. I highly doubt that he'll ever get a chance to betray me again."
"Where are we goin' next, then?" O'Chunks asked.
"I've got a palace set up in case if something like this was ever going to happen. We can stay there, since this place has endured a lot of damage. Get all of your things ready too. I'll make sure your rooms are just the same."
"'Ey! What about wee Nastasia?"
"The secretary? Hmmmmm… Maybe she could be of some help too. I'll try to find her and get her here. Just go back to your rooms and pack your things. I'll go take care of Dimentio's room too."
At that moment, the minions headed out of the room, while Tipral teleported out of the room.
"…Why do I have these strange powers now?"
Through the door-
As soon as the four came walking into the next area, they noticed some stairs leading up to a wedding chapel. This place itself looked rather nice, with a white floor and a bright blue sky.
"Whoa… What is this world?" Blade gawked.
"Poyo… (It looks like some sort of wedding chapel…)" Kirby stated.
Count Bleck looked nervously over at Tippi. "Timpani… After all I've done… Do you still love me?"
"Yes…Blumiere. Of course I do." Tippi smiled. "I've always loved you. Ever since the day we've met, I've always seemed to like you. And please… Don't consider what you've done to be your fault…"
"Wait a second… What do you two plan on doing?" Sonic asked.
"We're going to use the Pure Hearts again, this time to banish the Chaos Heart," the count explained. "All we need is true love… And thankfully, that is something I possess."
"True love? But… Love's gross!" Chopper gagged with his tongue out in disgust.
"Oh, you'll probably get over that when you're a bit older," Tippi giggled. "Maybe when you're fifteen, you might have different thoughts."
"However…with the Chaos Hearts gone, the people linked to the Pure Hearts…" Count Bleck continued. "Chances are, they may cease to exist, but I'm not a hundred percent sure about that after what happened before..."
Chopper stopped for a minute. "Wait… Are you saying that you're…going to leave? But you can't just do that!"
"I understand that you don't want me to leave," Count Bleck shook his head. "I take full responsibility for this. And besides... I wish to live peacefully with Timpani once again. I think it's for the better anyway."
"So it's a bittersweet ending, I suppose…" Blade smirked. "That's not too bad."
"Timpani… I know this may be hard for you to do this… I'd hate for you to leave these people at a time like this… Still…there is no other way to end this."
"I know, Blumiere, I know…" Tippi sighed.
Chopper gasped. "Wait… You're…leaving too?"
Tipip turned to Chopper. "Oh, Chopper… I'm really sorry. I think this is where we must part. I honestly wish I didn't have to leave you… But… It's the only way…"
Chopper sniffled. "I… I understand. I'm really going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too… I'll always think about you guys…"
The ground began to shake once again. "Oh, boy... We're in some deep yogurt here, guys!" Blade shouted.
"We must go, Timpani…" Count Bleck declared.
"Yes, Blumiere…" Tippi and Count Bleck made their way up the stairs and to the wedding chapel. The others, meanwhile, could only sadly watch.
As soon as they reached the wedding chapel, Count Bleck found himself uneasy. This did not go unnoticed by Tippi.
"What's wrong?"
"There were so many things I wanted to say to you…but I could not find the words," Count Bleck answered.
"Oh, Blumiere… Only one thing matters to me now." Tippi assured. "I wish to return your question as well… Blumiere… Do you still love me as well?"
"Of course… I have thought about you every moment ever since I've lost you in the past and after what's happened before… But I feel because of our first meeting, I've caused a lot of bad things to happen to you."
"Perhaps…my life would have been more carefree without you, that is true."
"But I had to really be with you, Timpani. I would never apologize for that…"
"I know, Blumiere. And I love you"
"And I love you, Timpani… Hundreds and thousands of years from now, that fact will not have changed… And now, we will be able to spend time in peace."
"That's deep," Sonic commented. "I never knew someone would say something like that."
The eight Pure Hearts appeared, as well as the Chaos Heart. Chopper noticed the red Pure Heart suddenly appeared in his hands.
"What's this?" he gawked.
"Poyo… (I think you should toss it over to the chapel…)" Kirby suggested.
Chopper slowly nodded as he tossed the Pure Heart up to the chapel. Kirby was holding onto the next one: the orange Pure Heart. He tossed it up to the Chaos Heart as well. They could see them circling it around this time.
"This is interesting…" Sonic tossed the yellow Pure Heart that appeared in his hands. Blade also tossed the green Pure Heart that was in his hands and then tossed the light blue Pure Heart.
"Boy… I find it bad that we won't get to see Tippi ever again…" Blade trailed.
Sonic nodded in agreement as he tossed up the next heart: the indigo Pure Heart. Kirby saw the violet Pure Heart in his hands and tossed it up to the Chaos Heart.
"Poyo, (That's all seven colors of the rainbow,)" Kirby frowned, shedding a small tear.
"There is…one more," Count Bleck stated as the white Pure Heart appeared in Chopper's hands. He slowly began to look at it with a sad look on his face.
"Don't worry Luvbi… I promised you that all worlds will be saved… I just wish that you could be back with Queen Jaydes and Grambi and be a normal Nimbi, like you should have been. You deserve a nice, happy life."
With one last glance, Chopper tossed the white Pure Heart up to the Chaos Heart. With all of them together, they went straight into the Chaos Heart and made it emit a bright light.
"Tippi! No!" Chopper cried as he saw both her and Count Bleck brighten up from the light. Tears began to come down his face as he looked down at the ground. The wedding bells could be heard from this world.
"I'm going to miss Tippi…" Sonic frowned.
"She was definitely a great help…" Blade agreed.
"P-Poyo… (I… I don't know what to say…)" Kirby whimpered.
The four of them slowly began to turn away and walk back to the door, until the bright light got to them and blinded them.
"What the heck?!"
"I can't see a thing!"
Ten minutes later-
"Hey! Chopper! Get up!"
Chopper slowly opened his eyes. He noticed that they were all back in Flipside Towers. Merlon and Meta Knight were on the tower as well. Everyone was sipping a nice soft drink in their hands.
"Huh? What's going on?" Chopper slowly got up and stretched. He noticed that in the background, The Void was gone. "So that actually got rid of The Void…"
"Yeah, you missed it! The Void suddenly shrunk and disappeared out of thin air!" Sonic explained. "It was just awesome!"
"We all thank you for what you've done," Merlon began. "If it wasn't for you four, this world would've been enveloped in darkness. …By the way, where is Tippi?"
"Oh, Tippi…" Chopper began to explain to Merlon what happened to both Tippi and Count Bleck.
"I see… So she has left… Ah… This, too, must have been under the guidance of the Pure Hearts…"
"I wonder what happened to both of them…" Blade pondered.
"I shudder to think about it, but surely when the Chaos Heart was destroyed…"
"Well, I don't think they're necessarily dead…" Chopper interrupted. "The count did say they probably wouldn't lose their games and spend time together someplace peaceful."
"Hmmmm... I see…" Meta Knight trailed as he whirled over to the elevator.
"Wait! Meta Knight!" the warrior turned his head back. "I actually…found Galaxia…but I ended up losing it after fighting Dimentio…"
"You…found it?! …Oh. I see. Well, I'm not going to get angry at you for what you've done…"
"So… Does this mean we have to collect the eight Pure Hearts all over again after they've been used on the Chaos Heart?" Sonic asked.
"I don't believe so," Merlon shook his head. "The Pure Hearts have been left in their pedestals as usual. However, there are still twelve more Pure Hearts to find…and two more heroes to find."
"Oh, yeah… I don't know what happened to Tipral and the other minions… They weren't with us when we saw Tippi and Count Bleck – I mean, Lady Timpani and Lord Blumiere leave." Chopper pondered. "All I know is that Tipral is against us once again."
"So, that means the battle isn't over yet. However, you young ones must find the next Pure Heart."
Chopper felt something heavy in his inventory. When he pulled it out, he saw it was the Chaos Heart…but in stone.
"Huh? What's this doing here?" when it cracked a light gray Pure Heart appeared out of it. It was a normal size just like the others.
"I don't believe it…" Merlon gasped. "The Chaos Heart just produced a Pure Heart!"
"Poyo! (This is so strange!)" Kirby gasped.
"Well, then I guess I better do what I usually do with the Pure Heart," Chopper glanced at the Pixls, who began to perform a little dance around him. After his dance, he held the Pure Heart up.
"Finally! The ninth Pure Heart!"
You got a Pure Heart
END OF CHAPTER
Lady Timpani and Lord Blumiere's ultimate sacrifice was a great tragedy, but everyone knew that they would both live in peace. With The Void gone, Chopper and friends knew that they didn't have to worry too much on collecting the Pure Hearts. But, unfortunately, the war wasn't over yet. Tipral and his minions were able to escape from Castle Tipral and go elsewhere. Where could they have gone to? Chopper began to wonder as he, Kirby, Sonic and Blade made their way back to Merlon's house.
Not as long as Chapter 7's boss, but it was still pretty intense.
Anyway, it's sad to see Tippi gone... And no, don't think the story's over yet. We've just gotten through the first part of Super Paper Chopper. There are pretty much three parts to this, which I'll probably get to later.
With this chapter, that means that we have finished up with the first act of Super Paper Chopper. We're not even halfway done with this story yet!
