As the elevator door opened, all five heroes walked out of the elevator and it closed behind them. They weren't sure if the elevator was going back down to the other level, but they didn't really care at this moment. All they did was take some time to look at the whole room.
"Wow… This is pretty neat, I'll admit." Chopper commented.
"Be careful, heroes… You could be falling right into a trap…" Blumiere warned.
"So, you finally decided to show up, did you?"
The heroes saw Robo Chopper right by a force field cage. It turns out that there were actually two of them. They could see Luvbi trapped in one.
When the Nimbi girl caught sight of Chopper, she gasped and hearts began to fly over her head.
"My sweet prince! Thou hast come hither to save me!" Luvbi squealed, though her expression turned dull at the sight of the others. "...And also yon peasants as well."
"Thanks..." Blade grumbled.
"Oh, so these are the people who you mentioned!" AI-5538 realized.
Mario: Who's in the other cage?
"What's that? You want to know who's in the other cage?" Robo Chopper grinned as he stepped aside. Everyone gasped when they saw Ninbot trapped inside of the cage. "I caught this guy sneaking in my base, so I caught him and put him here!"
"Whoa! He's got Ninbot!" Chopper gaped.
"I'm sorry, heroes… I tried to find a way to stop him, but he was too strong…" Ninbot wheezed. "Heroes… Please stop him…"
"I think you should let him go. I don't think it's right to put him in such a bad prison." AI-5538 scolded.
"Ugh… I'm tired of you, you stupid computer." Robo Chopper flew over to the computer and unplugged her.
"You better NOT-"
It was too late. The computer screen turned off and AI-5538 was no longer around.
"Good… Now I don't need to worry about an annoying nagging computer at this moment."
"Thou art going to release me this instant!" Luvbi declared. "I am tired of being hither and I want to be with my prince!"
"Oh, don't worry. I'll release you…when I test my new weapon on you!" Robo Chopper pulled out a blaster and aimed it at her. "Now that this thing is fully functional, I can use it to turn you into a robot!"
"What?! Don't even DO that!" Chopper growled.
"Poyo! (That's not right at all!)" Kirby got in his fighting stance.
Robo Chopper pulled the trigger on the weapon, but the only thing that it did was fall apart. "Dang… I guess it doesn't work. Stupid machine."
"Well that doth be a relief…" Luvbi sighed.
"Gah! Oh, fine… The only thing I can do now is eradicate you all." Robo Chopper turned to the group and changed his arm to his machine gun. "Are you ready to feel my wrath? This time I will be the one who succeeds!"
"Don't count on it!" Sonic growled, clenching his fists and rushing toward him. Robo Chopper fired his machine gun at Sonic and sent him flying back. He was a bit hurt, but he wasn't suffering any injuries.
"Whoa… Those guns sure are something."
"Well it's not like he's going to…" Chopper was suddenly knocked back when Robo Chopper struck him with a swing of his blue laser sword that he changed to after shooting Sonic.
"I'm not going easy on you like last time!" Robo Chopper snarled.
"…And you didn't even go easy on me those times either," Chopper got up and kicked Robo Chopper, knocking him back. He followed up with a couple of fireballs that left him burnt for a bit.
The robot version of Chopper tried to swing at him again, but Chopper jumped out of the way, leaving a yellow star open. Kirby inhaled it and spat it toward Robo Chopper, knocking him over.
"We need to investigate this guy…" Blade suggested, jumped toward Robo Chopper, only for him to block his attack with his own blue laser sword and leaving them to try to push each other away with their swords.
"Got it," Chopper pulled Timpani's wand out and used it to investigate Robo Chopper.
"That's Robo Chopper. He was a robot that was made to match Chopper, but it doesn't seem like he's very successful… Max HP is 180. Attack is 11. Defense is 4. Make sure you get out of the way when Robo Chopper starts firing at you with his machine guns. That's what usually happens when you get a bit too far. His missiles are homing and WILL follow you. If you can inhale them and spit them back at him, then things wouldn't be too bad. He's got this laser attack, but maybe with Reflecto, you could reflect the laser back at him… He's also got a large arsenal of close-range weapons, such as a flamethrower and an ice beam. His most notable weapon is his laser sword, though. Though he does look like Chopper… Why does he always seem to be in an angry mood? He doesn't seem much like Tipral, on the other hand…" Timpani informed.
"I've got you now!" Robo Chopper unleashed his ice beam on Chopper, freezing him instantly.
"My sweet prince!" Luvbi cried. "No… Please don't stayeth frozen! Thou must not let him win!"
"Oh, we can get him out of this," Blade knocked Robo Chopper back and struck him with his katana a couple of times and then used his fire slash to melt off the ice on Chopper, freeing him.
"Ah, good. I'm no longer frozen! Yay!" Chopper cheered.
"Don't get your hopes up yet," Sonic pointed out as he saw Robo Chopper fire a laser directly at him. But, since the blue hedgehog had Reflecto with him, he used its ability to reflect the laser back at him.
"UNGH! What was that?!" Robo Chopper gaped.
"That was Reflecto!" Sonic smirked.
"I'm going to make you pay for that," the robot changed to his flamethrower and began to unleash it upon Sonic. He jumped out of the way from the flamethrower and curled up in a ball to prepare a Spin Dash.
Meanwhile, while he did that, Mario jumped into action and struck Robo Chopper in the head with his hammer. Robo Chopper slammed him to the ground by grabbing his foot, but the plumber managed to get himself back up and use Kickbrin to knock him back.
Mario: That was close…
"Well you're not going to win so easily!" Robo Chopper fired a laser straight at him, but Mario managed to jump and dodge it and strike Robo Chopper in the head. Kirby also managed to jump on him with Carrie to leave him dizzy.
"Poyo! (OK! Go get him, Blade!)" Kirby shouted, giving Blade the signal.
"I don't know what you just said, but I guess I might as well attack," Blade gripped his katana and sprinted toward Robo Chopper, attacking him with his katana a couple of times.
"Get off of me, you little…" Robo Chopper elbowed Blade in the stomach and knocked him back. Kirby was able to freeze him with Crystaline, on the other hand. It allowed Chopper to bash him with a fire smash and then bash him with a regular hammer attack, leaving a mark on Robo Chopper's head.
"You're going to PAY for that!" he growled.
"Thou can dost it, my sweet prince!" Luvbi cheered. "Please dost it for me!"
"I'm not your prince!" Chopper cried as he avoided one of Robo Chopper's metal claws that were being swiped at him. He managed to toss an ice ball at him and freeze him again, with him striking him with an uppercut kick with ice energy on his feet. It felt a bit nice for him to make a move like this.
"Heh heh heh! I like the way you're thinkin'!" Sonic grinned as he charged at Robo Chopper while curled up in a ball, knocking him back. Robo Chopper managed to kick him off and use his laser sword to send him flying across the room.
"Holy… How can he do that?!" Blade gaped.
"He's a robot. He can do many things…" Blumiere gaped.
"That's right! You should listen to that wand and give up already!" Robo Chopper charged toward Blade, but the ninja was ready and brought his katana up to defend himself. He was able to defend most of his attacks, but took a bit of damage from some of his attacks.
At one point, they were both pushing each other back when both of their weapons clashed. But what Blade did was pretty unexpected. He stepped on Robo Chopper's foot to leave him distracted and then slashed him to bits with his katana (well he didn't cut him up, he just dealt damage). He finished off his combo by tossing Hommissile at him.
"And THAT'S how you make a move!" Blade grinned.
Mario: Watch out!
Mario immediately stepped in when Robo Chopper charged toward him. But instead, he got stomped on by Mario and then bashed by him with his hammer. It left another dent on the robot's head.
"Stupid plumber… I'm going to incinerate you for that!" Robo Chopper tried to swipe at him with his metallic claws, but Mario managed to dodge each of his claws. He even had to use his hammer to defend himself against one of his attacks. It left a scratch mark on his hammer, but it wasn't so bad.
Mario: Ehhh… It's not much of a problem.
Chopper immediately ran toward Robo Chopper and punched him in the face with ice energy. Unfortunately, it didn't freeze him, but it made Robo Chopper try to strike him with his metal claws. He managed to hit Chopper once, but he started dodging the rest of them easily until Robo Chopper stopped.
"Fine. I'll use THESE!" Robo Chopper fired missiles from his arms and made them go after Chopper. But, remembering Timpani's words, Chopper inhaled a couple of the missiles and spat them back at Robo Chopper, knocking him back in an explosion. Kirby helped make him dizzy by jumping on him with Carrie.
"Poyo, (Hope that helps,)" Kirby smiled.
"Why do I feel so dizzy?!"
"Poyo! (Because I made you dizzy!)" Kirby managed to knock Robo Chopper back with a hard kick, which knocked him straight toward one of the force field cages. It hit Luvbi's which didn't make her happy.
"What art thou doing, gumball?! Try not to hit a princess trapped inside a prison cell!" Luvbi scoffed.
Kirby simply ignored her and used Crystaline to freeze Robo Chopper. Chopper followed up by tossing a fireball straight at him to melt him from his icy prison. But it wasn't long when Robo Chopper tackled him and began to punch him in the face, leaving red marks all over him.
"OW! Stop it!" Chopper cried.
"Why should I stop? I'm trying to destroy you!" Robo Chopper tried to scratch his face with his metal claws, but Chopper rolled out of the way and stomped on his head and slammed his foot down on him afterward to deal more damage to him. Robo Chopper tried to strike him with his laser sword, but he managed to fight back by bringing his hammer down on him.
"Hey, lemme help!" Blade brought his katana down on Robo Chopper as he jumped toward him. Robo Chopper tried to fight back, but since Blade was using Barry, he was able to deal damage to him instead.
"You can't hit me when I'm using this dude!"
"Oh, then I'll find a way!" Robo Chopper fired his machine gun directly at Blade. What was funny was that he decided to spin his katana around and deflect all the shots back at Robo Chopper, leaving dents on his body.
"Nope! You can't do that!" Blade smirked.
Before Robo Chopper could make another attack, Sonic sprung into action and struck him with his Light Speed Attack. Robo Chopper was continuously getting bashed by Sonic's incredible attack and was sent flying up the ceiling. But it wasn't technically over for him…yet.
"That's it. I need better music for this." Robo Chopper walked up to AI-5538 and put a rock song on. Sonic began to tap his foot to the song, but that left him off guard when he was blown away by a bunch of missiles.
"Excellent! This song should get me into fighting you guys easily!" Robo Chopper flew toward Chopper and grabbed his foot. He swung Chopper directly at Kirby, Blade and then Mario, dealing some intense damage to them. Afterward, Chopper's robotic counterpart let go of him and began to strike him multiple times with his laser sword and blow him away with a missile.
"Ack! What was that?!" Chopper wheezed as he got up.
"That's what happens when you put on a catchy song!" Robo Chopper punched Chopper and then began firing multiple missiles at the group. The only one that managed to avoid them was Kirby, who inhaled a missile and spat it back at him, leaving him a bit dazed and allowing Chopper to strike him with a sweeping kick attack.
"Thou art doing so well, Chopper," Luvbi smiled. All Ninbot could do was give a small thumbs up.
Chopper groaned punched Robo Chopper with an ice punch. Afterward, Robo Chopper grabbed a hold of his enemy's hand and tried to crush it.
"There's no way you have the strength to break out of this!" Robo Chopper grinned. "I'm much stronger physically, you should know that!"
Mario: He's not the only one fighting you!
"Huh?" Robo Chopper ended up releasing Chopper's fist when Mario bashed him in the head with his hammer. But, it only seemed to anger him, forcing him to charge at Mario and bash him with his head.
Mario: Ouch…
"No worries, we still got this!" Sonic hit Robo Chopper with a Homing Attack and then he knocked Robo Chopper back by kicking him in the face. The robot tried to fire at him with his machine guns, but Sonic was able to use his Whirlwind to send him flying up in the air.
"What the… What are you doing?!" Robo Chopper gaped.
"Doing the right thing," Sonic curled up in a ball and made an attack straight at Robo Chopper, knocking him to the ground. He finished off his attack by striking Robo Chopper with his Bounce Attack, making him suffer some bad damage.
"Ugh… Don't think I'm going to give up just yet!" Robo Chopper fired his machine gun at Sonic and sent him flying back. He was going to fire more, but he ended up running out of bullets. "Great… I'm out of bullets."
"That's good for us!" Chopper whipped his hammer out and bashed it on Robo Chopper's head. His counterpart ended up firing a missile at him, but he managed to defend himself a bit by bringing his hammer up. But while Robo Chopper was firing missiles at him, Kirby got on Carrie and jumped on him to leave him dizzy for a bit.
"Now's your chance, Chopper! Attack him!" Timpani cried out.
"What? Oh! Sorry!" Chopper jumped right on top of Robo Chopper's head with ice energy on his feet and then kicked him from behind with a spinning kick. Robo Chopper was thrown all the way across the room, resulting in sparks flying everywhere upon collision.
"Thou hast done it!" Luvbi cheered.
"You really think I would be done now?! THINK AGAIN!" Robo Chopper unleashed his powerful blue laser upon the five heroes, knocking them all to the other side of the room. They suffered some bad damage.
"Ow… What was that?" Blade gaped as he got up. "And how come he did more damage than what he usually does?!"
"Tippi, you didn't say anything about that attack!" Chopper scolded.
"I… I didn't know he had an attack like that!" Timpani gaped. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you…"
"Timpani, relax. Not all information is filled with everything. As long as it's good, then you're fine, which is what you did." Blumiere complimented.
"Oh, Blumiere! You're such a…"
Before she could finish, Robo Chopper came rushing toward Chopper, firing multiple lasers at him. He managed to hit him with each shot, but Chopper managed to catch him off guard with a flaming kick.
"Man… I'm not feeling so good after that attack." Chopper wheezed. "Can we have an Ultra Shroom Shake?"
"Yeah, I'll take one," Sonic pulled an Ultra Shroom Shake out and took a sip to recover 50 HP. He passed it around to each of the heroes, with Kirby getting the last sip. In the end, they all managed to recover 50 HP.
"Poyo, (And now to dispose of this can,)" Kirby threw it straight at Robo Chopper, leaving him dizzy for a couple of seconds. Sonic also threw in a Homing Attack while he was dizzy to knock him over. But, even that didn't stop Robo Chopper – despite being badly damaged.
"Man, I don't know how much he can take…" Blade trailed as he gripped his katana and charged. He was able to strike him multiple times, but Robo Chopper managed to strike him at the last moment with his laser sword. Nevertheless, Blade managed to at least deal a lot of damage to him.
Mario: We're doing pretty well!
"Argh! Take this!" Robo Chopper grabbed Metal Mario's drums and began to throw them at the group. Mario, however, was able to whack them back at Robo Chopper with a swing of his hammer, leaving him stunned.
"Wow… That was simple." Chopper gawked as Mario stomped on Robo Chopper and finished his move with a Ground Pound…and then got blasted by Robo Chopper's missiles.
"Well, I think you're finished."
"I don't think so, Chopper!" Robo Chopper was about to fire his machine guns, but he realized he was out of bullets. "Crap! I'm out of bullets! …Fine, time for my laser attack then!"
He charged up another laser and fired right at the group. But after the laser, he realized that they were gone.
"Huh? Where'd they go?!"
"Over here!" Chopper flipped back into 2-D with his friends and waved to Robo Chopper before ramming straight into him. After one epic stomp attack with ice, Robo Chopper could feel a bit of a malfunction in him.
"ARGH!" he fell over on the ground in defeat as the heroes walked over to the defeated Robo Chopper. When he got up, his head hung low. "Why? Why couldn't I win this fight? I took over an entire world and even STILL I get my butt handed to me by a copy of myself and his friends!"
"Listen here, Chopper!" Robo Chopper growled, glaring at him and his friends. "You may have won this time, but the next time, you're going to regret fighting me! I swear I'll make you suffer next time!"
Robo Chopper broke through the window and exited the fortress, leaving Chopper relieved.
"Whew! He's finally out of the way now..."
Mario: What a relief...
With Robo Chopper finished, all five of them walked up to the cell Luvbi was in, where Chopper pressed the red button right in front of the cell to free the girl from her prison.
"My sweet prince! I can't believest that thou hast defeated that horrible tin can!" Luvbi said happily, immediately embracing Chopper in a hug. "Thou hast made me so happy… I thought thou wouldn't have come hither…"
"Crud... She was spying on us!" Blade whispered.
"Ehhhh… Probably not." Sonic shrugged.
While Luvbi let go of Chopper, Kirby pressed the red button right in front of the cell Ninbot was trapped in, allowing him to get out of the small cell and land on the very ground they were standing on. Mario also approached the computer and decided to turn it back on after being turned off by Robo Chopper.
"Thank you, heroes… You did a good job." Ninbot slowly nodded.
"Yeah, we needed to help. That's why we're here." Chopper nodded until he felt Luvbi kiss him on his cheek. "GROSS! She's giving me her cooties!"
"Awwwww… How sweet!" AI-5538 smiled. "Young love is always so cute!"
"Young lo- HEY!"
"Hold on a minute… Who are you?" Timpani asked, alerted from seeing the computer.
"My name's AI-5538. I think you're the heroes, are you not? My husband's been waiting for many years for your arrival. That is…until he ended up dying." AI-5538 frowned. "That robot you just defeated tore him apart when he refused to give him any information. It's a shame that he never got to see the heroes…"
"How did you know that we were coming?" Sonic asked.
"My computer screen allows one to see what's going on in any dimension, including Flipside. When I saw that the door that leads into this world had opened, I needed to help you guys find me so you can get the Pure Heart. Sadly, I'm only a computer, and I can't leave here… So, I decided to get someone else to help me get you guys over here."
"Hold on a second…" Timpani gasped. "Do you mean that…?"
"Yes, I was sent to bring you guys here," Ninbot confirmed. "I didn't want to give out that information because I didn't want any enemies to overhear about what I might say. The forest is filled with many of those robots and they would catch me with that information. …Now you know why I kept silent for a bit."
"…Or is there ANOTHER reason?" Blade wondered.
"…I'm a silent ninja, all right? I like to be silent at times. But now's not the time for that. We know about the dangers of The Void and what it can do. I believe we need to give you the Pure Heart, is that correct?"
"Yea, verily! I want to get out of hither!" Luvbi said with an impatient look.
"Yes, we need to give you it now!" below AI-5538, a dark green Pure Heart was revealed and landed right in front of her. "Please… Take it with you. You need it more than anyone else."
Ninbot picked up the Pure Heart and held it to Chopper. "Of all the people I've met, you people just might be one of my greatest friends… I may have not had full trust in you before, but I started to gain your trust after stopping Grim and saving me from Robo Chopper. Thank you, guys."
"It's not a problem," Chopper said as the Pure Heart began to float above him. All the Pixls began to do their little dance before Chopper held up the dark green Pure Heart with a smile.
"It's nice to meet nice robots here," he smiled as he looked at Ninbot and AI-5538. "We won't forget you guys, OK?"
"Poyo! (We hope to see you again!)" Kirby smiled.
END OF CHAPTER
After the defeat of Robo Chopper and ridding the evil robot Grim, our heroes managed to get a hold of the twelfth Pure Heart and save Luvbi from Robo Chopper and his army of evil robots. "May we meet again some other time," was the last thing they heard from Ninbot before leaving the fortress. With only eight Pure Hearts left, our heroes ventured through the forest once again and made their way back to Flopside. Mario began to wonder about the strange masked man they met earlier in the forest. Who was this person really? And where exactly did Tipral get him from? These things plagued our heroes' minds as they left the forest.
Once again, Robo Chopper is the boss of Chapter 11. I...actually did this on purpose, actually. Nevertheless, he is defeated, and now the heroes can finally leave.
However, Tipral still has other plans... And it requires him to go see some old friends of Chopper...
