"You thought I was done with my own goals, did you, Tipral?" Dimentio asked.
"Wait…" Tipral paused, remembering the spell he had put on him. "I thought I…"
"That's your problem, Tipral," the jester began. "You see, when you're trying to wipe the memories of a magician, you know you're doing something wrong. The reason why I seemed like I didn't remember a thing was because I was just only pretending! It would keep everyone from suspecting me, and it worked!"
"A traitor until the end…" Tipral coughed as he slowly got up. "Fine. If that's how it has to be, then I shall put an end to you once and for all!"
"At the state your in? Oh, no! It's better that you recover your strength before even laying a finger on me! Firstly, I must really thank you for resurrecting the Chaos Heart, Tipral! Without it, I could never achieve my goals!"
"What goals do you have in mind again? You're planning on using Tipral again?" Chopper spat.
"Of course not, my green friend! You see, after my failed attempts to defeat you with Tipral and the Chaos Heart, I needed to find someone else with such immense power. One that has something that could help me become the king of all worlds!"
"Ungh… What happened?" Dark moaned as he slowly got up.
"And I believe he just woke up."
"What are you talking about? …Argh! My eye's starting to hurt again! Why is it growing so fast now?!"
"Ah ha ha ha ha! So, it's almost time…"
"Almost time for what, you annoying jester? What? You're betraying Tipral again?"
"Dimentio only faked his memory loss," Tipral noted. "He was a traitor until the end."
"I should've known… So, jester… Any reason why my eye is actually opening? 'Cause it's not supposed to open at this moment. Go on, tell us all what you did."
"Oh, that's very simple," Dimentio smirked. "I decided to help you by getting rid of the pain from your eye. But also, I wanted to make sure it grew faster after overhearing that your eye could do something not even I was capable of!"
"So that thing is meant to be a third eye?" Chopper gawked.
"Of course! And thanks to my brilliant plan, using Dark's third eye to conquer the universe will be a snap! Of course, I had to get the others out of the way by keeping them trapped in a room and sending them to their doom!"
"You did WHAT?!"
"Yes, Chopper! It was I who was responsible for that act! My guess is that they're all dead in space. Floating in space for quite a while can be bad for you, you know. But, while I could've done that to you, I can actually spare you…"
"And that is…"
"If you agree to join by my side, I can let you live and allow you to be my assistant! You'll be my greatest warrior of my entire army!"
"No thank you," Chopper retorted. "I'm not here to join the side of evil if it means losing everyone I care about! And guess what? You happened to do such an act like that."
"So, you refuse my offer? Very well. Then I'm afraid I must end your game the hard way. Oh, Daaaaaaark!"
With a snap of his finger, Dark suddenly snapped and walked over to Dimentio with his eyes widened.
"Wait… I didn't do that on my own!" he gasped until Dimentio snapped his finger, revealing a Floro Sprout from underneath and even opening his third eye entirely, making it glow.
"Wait… When did you do this?" Tipral gaped.
"You see, while I checked Dark's eye, not only did I cast a spell on it to make it grow faster without hurting him, but I also planted a Floro Sprout on his head so I could gain control over him! And now, it looks like his eye is ready!"
He grabbed a hold of the Chaos Heart and grinned evilly. "This is your last warning, Chopper!"
"I told you I'm not joining!" Chopper retorted. "Just stop right now before I have to kick your butt!"
"Oh, I'm afraid it's YOU who's going to get his butt kicked like a flying pig!" Dimentio cackled as he threw the Chaos Heart behind Chopper. Dark was sucked into the dark void that appeared, forcing the whole room to shake.
"What's happening?!"
"It's just what I wanted!" the jester grinned as the dark vortex disappeared and revealed a large, black monster with purple stripes on its arms. The monster had two, purple eyes and one large eye on its forehead. Its claws were deadly, especially with powerful arms that it had too. Surprisingly, it didn't have any legs, but a ghost's tail instead A black moon crescent on its head also showed that this was indeed Dark Doom…but transformed.
"Uh oh… This isn't good."
"And now for its delicate outfit!" Dimentio snapped his finger as he watched the monster don a poncho and hat just like Dimentio's.
"Grrr! I'm going to make you suffer, you stupid clown!" Tipral growled as he tried to attack Dimentio, only to get knocked out by a spell and teleported out of the room.
"Relax, Tipral. I don't have any need for you anymore. Go ahead and rest in my dimension! I'll come back later to finish the job! As for you, Chopper…"
He flew over to the monster and fused himself in with it. The two purple eyes changed to a black and purple color, with them looking happy, just like how Dimentio's eyes usually looked.
"Ah ha ha ha! Now my plan is finally complete! It's just like the alien's sayings were true! Now, if you'll excuse me… I have a universe to conquer!"
"And what ever happened to getting rid of me?" Chopper asked.
"Oh, I'll take care of you later! Fighting you will simply distract me when I should be doing what I, Dimentio Doom, was planning on doing in the first place! So long for now, Chopper! Prepare yourself when I get back…"
Dimentio Doom flew out of the palace through the hole with his demonic wings, but due to the hole's small size, the monster merely blasted a bigger hole and made his way out. Chopper was left awestruck. Dimentio just took the Chaos Heart and transformed himself into a monster.
"Come back here!" he yelled as he ran outside through the smaller hole, using his Speed Dash to chase after Dimentio Doom. Unfortunately, he seemed to be flying away from the road, irritating him.
"Great… Now I can't stop him! I with I had something to help me…"
"Maybe I can be of some assistance!" Starbow suggested, scooping Chopper off the ground and growing to a bigger size.
"Wait! What're you doing, Starbow?!" Chopper cried until he noticed that she was actually using herself like a Warp Star. "Wait… You can change your size?"
"Of course! Some Pixls do have that ability! Since we can't catch him on this road, we might as well fly after them! Thankfully, I'm capable of such a thing."
"Well, let's hope you can still fight," he sat down and took off with Starbow. This time, he was hoping to catch Dimentio Doom for sure.
Later-
"Hmmmmm… This looks like a good place to stop." Chopper noticed a small road made of stars nearby, which seemed to lead to an asteroid up ahead. Apparently Dimentio Doom was going over there.
"Yeah, I suppose we should stop her, pard," Slim agreed. "You're better on your feet than in the air, anyway."
"Yeah, and seeing how this road looks, I think I might have a bit of an advantage here!" Chopper charged up a Speed Dash and took off, making his way through the road at nearly the speed of sound.
But the speed of sound was merely nothing in space.
"Man… I feel that I'm not even getting close even with this running!"
Not only that, but there were a couple of asteroids in his way, forcing him to jump over a couple and slid under some. As far as the road went, there was only a couple of slopes going down and up, which helped and harmed his speed.
"This might take a while…"
Later again-
After finishing his run through the road, he noticed a couple of asteroids he could jump on. He decided to use these to make his way to the large asteroid dead ahead. The bad thing was that these asteroids were moving.
"All right, I guess I need to do some jumping now…" Chopper trailed as he jumped to the closest asteroid. He waited for the next one to come and jumped on it. It only took him two minutes before he got to the largest asteroid, where Dimentio Doom happened to be.
"This will be a nice place to start things out!" Dimentio Doom declared as he flew down to the asteroid. "I will start by creating my new empire here and destroy all of those who oppose me!"
"I don't think so!"
"Ah, so you managed to come here… I'm not too surprised." Dimentio Doom grinned as he looked down at Chopper, who was like a mouse to him. "I was hoping you'd come here!"
"Yeah, I thought so," Chopper said with a serious look. "I'm not letting you take over the universe! It's going to end here, right now!"
"I'm glad you think that! I guess I might as well burn you to ashes and let you join with the rest of your friends!"
"All right, then!" Chopper jumped on Starbow and used her to fly up to Dimentio Doom's head. Starbow fired a shooting star straight at Dimentio Doom, but it simply bounced off.
"What the…!"
"You see, you can't hurt me! With the Chaos Heart's power and the power of Dark Doom's third eye, I am invincible!"
"Urgh… All right, then take this!" Chopper tossed a couple of rainbow balls at Dimentio Doom's head, but they didn't seem to do anything. Dimentio Doom cackled as he spat a magic projectile that resembled his own spell at Chopper, sending him flying down to the ground.
Chopper knew that this guy was serious. With a Max HP of 400, an Attack of 17 and a Defense of 8, this fight wasn't going to be easy. Not even Tipral had that much HP!
"Now die!" Dimentio Doom shouted as he tried to crush him with his own fists. He even tried to claw at him when Chopper recoiled, but that didn't seem to work. "Gah… Even if you're small, you're a bit fast!"
"Yeah! Let's just stop right now and talk about… No, wait. That's not going to work. Sorry, Dimentio, but I think you've done enough to not just us, but Tipral and his goons. You may not be worse than Maquano, but you are definitely one of the worst."
"I'm glad you think that!" Dimentio Doom managed to slam his hand right on Chopper, flattening him like a pancake. He grabbed him afterward and held him up while grinning. "Now then… Are you prepared to have your game end now?"
Chopper was about to raise his arm to fling a rainbow ball, but the monster gestured him not to and said that it was a waste of time. While at that, he began to charge up a deadly attack in his mouth.
"Is this…the end?" Chopper thought.
Dimension D-
"Mmmmmm… Where… Where am I…?" Tipral slowly began to open his eyes, only to find himself in Dimension D. "Unnngh… Wait… What is this world? I've never seen anything like it."
He slowly got up and began to ponder for a minute. "Oh… Now I remember what happened. Chopper managed to best me in a fight and Dimentio took the Chaos Heart… Dimentio! When I get my hands on him, I'm going to strangle him until he's dead for good! And then I'm going to get that Chaos Heart back…"
He paused for a moment and looked at himself. He was still too exhausted to fight. Not even the Dark Star Scepter would help him at the moment.
"…But it's all hopeless. That traitor nearly destroyed all of my minions and Chopper's pathetic friends. I wish I could do something to help."
He let out a sigh before noticing something drop out of his inventory. He saw, lying on the ground, an old picture of him with a little girl. It was very old, and not in color. Tipral let out a sigh and he threw the picture away.
"I'm sorry, Timpani… I wish I could've done something to help you… But I was too late. And those minions… They were probably the only people I've known in centuries that actually cared about me."
"Please don't get upset, Tippy!"
Tipral opened his eyes and looked up as he saw Mimi coming over to him with a smile. "I don't want to see you get upset!"
"Mimi… You're still alive?"
"Aye! The lass isn't the only one!" O'Chunks appeared, along with Fawful and Mr. L, who walked over to their leader. "Yeh really thought that we'd die so easily? Yeh know we're better than that!"
"I have surprise! How is it that you have the giving up?" Fawful asked. "Clown mask has just had the taking like an angry baby! It is in the prophecy that we have the ruling of all worlds!"
"Yes, I wish to take the Chaos Heart back, Fawful," Tipral agreed. "But I can't do anything at the moment. Chopper already beat me down to this state, and I'm not as strong as I used to be without the Chaos Heart!"
"Whoa, whoa! This isn't like you, Tipral!" Mr. L gaped. "What ever happened to the ruthless villain that wouldn't take anything from anyone who tried to oppose you? Aren't you hardcore? Or are you just going to brood on about this?"
"Hold on… Who told you I was here?"
"I did," Nastasia teleported in Dimension D and walked over to the ground. She noticed that Mimi was hugging him at the moment.
"You see, Nassy was able to find us and bring us back here," Mimi explained. "She was actually watching you and Chopper battle, and she also discovered Dimentio planning out his attack too! This time, she didn't get spotted."
"After hearing Dimentio's plan, I had to find you immediately," Nastasia continued. "I also wanted to try to help Dark, but if Dimentio noticed me trying to help him, he would most likely try to stop me, which is why I didn't do a thing to help. I apologize if this hurt you in any way, Tipral. You can do anything to punish me, 'K?"
"No… I won't punish you." Tipral said while shaking his head. "In fact, I thank you for doing that. I actually feel a little better, now that I think about it."
"I have happiness!" Fawful cheered as everyone in the group smiled, including Nastasia. Tipral was close to smiling, but it felt as if he couldn't.
"Listen, I believe I know a way we can defeat Dimentio as his former state," Tipral explained. "The only way we can do that is if we had the Pure Hearts. If we can just get them, then we should be able to leave Dimentio vulnerable to be defeated."
"Are we actually going to fight?" Mr. L asked.
"No. We'll leave that up to Chopper to finish. I'd rather not let you guys risk your lives. It's better that our enemies get hurt instead, especially Chopper. Next time, I'm going to be ready to destroy him…"
"We think similarly," Mimi smiled, comforting Tipral. To their surprise, sixteen Pure Hearts appeared in all their color. It even gave Tipral some strength as well.
"Ho ho! The Pure Hearts!" Mr. L gaped.
"I guess with our love and feelings, we were able to bring them here," Mimi smiled. "So, you think you can get these to Dimentio?"
"I can do that," Tipral nodded as he used the Dark Star Scepter to teleport them out of Dimension D. But he couldn't help but look back at the picture he threw.
He decided to turn away from it, never looking at it again.
Battle with Dimentio Doom-
"So, Chopper… It looks like you don't stand a chance against me!" Dimentio Doom cackled as he continued to charge up his attack. "I suppose I should say my goodbyes in my usual way… Ciao!"
However, he felt a flash and noticed sixteen Pure Hearts circling around him. "Wait, what?! What're the Pure Hearts doing here?!"
His barrier was instantly shattered, making him vulnerable. "Yes! He's vulnerable to attacks now! …But how am I going to get out of this?"
A golden sword dropped right in front of Chopper as he fully recovered from the flash. Yes, it was the sword that he used to fight off against Dimentral. Chopper ate the sword and gained a green floppy hat and the golden sword Galaxia.
"Excellent! This is just what I need!"
"Gah! How could the Pure Hearts stop me?! Ugh… I should've remembered about those! No matter… I'll still crush you!"
"Think again!" Chopper stabbed Dimentio Doom's hand, causing his to screech in pain as he jumped out of his grasps. Dimentio Doom tried to attack him again by spitting a spell at him, but Chopper noticed a blade strike down on him. That blade… He remembered it from somewhere!
"Poyo! (Don't start the fight without me!)" Kirby cheered as he landed right in front of Chopper.
"Kirby?! You're alive?!"
"Poyo! (Of course! Everyone else is here too!)" Chopper looked up and saw Dimentio Doom get struck with many other attacks. The first thing he noticed was a blue ball coming down near them after striking Dimentio Doom's third eye.
"Did someone here order a beating?" Sonic asked as he made a pose. "Come on, now! You're not doing this alone, right?"
"Not at all!" Chopper smiled.
"Alley-oop!" Blade shouted as he plummeted down to the group, along with Mario and Luigi, who were wearing fish bowels to help them breathe in space.
"Hey, Chopper! We were wondering where you were!" Luigi said cheerfully. "We checked the palace and didn't see you there!"
"How did you guys manage to survive?"
Mario: We were rescued!
"By who?"
"We don't know…" Blade groaned. "Some alien found us floating in space and managed to save us. We told this weirdo that we needed to go back to the palace and help stop Tipral. …But it looks like Dimentio fused with Dark Doom's power to use the Chaos Heart. Not too surprised."
"Dimentio feigned his amnesia," Chopper explained.
"You annoying pests! I'll make sure you never see the light again!" Dimentio Doom howled as he lifted asteroids off the ground, making platforms for them to use to reach the monster.
"Man, that's one ugly monster!" Sonic scoffed as he pounded his fists. "You look like you need a little makeover! We'll do that for you!"
Dimentio Doom prepared to fire a dark beam from his hands, but Sonic was able to use his Light Speed Attack to go up the platforms and attack Dimentio Doom head on. He was even able to strike his eye as well.
"Go for the eye, guys! That's the weak point!"
"All right, the eye…" Luigi shrieked as he saw Dimentio Doom spit a couple of spells at him. One of them hit him head on, but the rest he managed to dodge by jumping on the asteroids. He threw Bonjourang at Dimentio Doom's face, leaving him stunned. Blade, meanwhile, used some ninja jumps to get to Dimentio Doom's chest. There, he tossed a couple of shurikens to keep the monster off guard.
"Seriously, you have to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen," Blade scoffed.
"Burn!" Dimentio Doom howled as he spat a dark fireball down at Blade. He spun his katana to deflect the attack and used his Dragon Beam to strike Dimentio Doom's eye. Although it didn't finish him off, it seemed to be the most painful part.
"Poyo, (If we keep hitting that eye, we might be able to win easily,)" Kirby said as he readied his Final Cutter and Crystaline. Luckily, the Pixls happened to follow them here, so they had them. Dimentio Doom tried to swipe at Kirby, which he succeeded because Kirby wasn't moving as fast.
"Kirby, you need to move faster!" Chopper shouted as he fired a Sword Beam at Dimentio Doom's hand, causing him to pull it away. This allowed Kirby to get back up and attack Dimentio Doom's third eye with his Final Cutter, followed by his Cartwheel.
"It's time I turned this up a bit!" Dimentio Doom flew into the background and raised his arms. He fired spears of darkness from the sky and made them come down on the heroes. Blade was able to knock one of them away with his katana, but Mario ended up getting poked by one of them.
Mario: Ouch! That hurts!
Mario, clenching his fists, did a back flip to avoid some of the dark spears. Dimentio Doom growled and flew up in the air again. This time, he began to dive down at the heroes. This reminded him of when Dimentio became Super Dimentio and tried to crush them.
"I don't think so!" Chopper said as he jumped out of the way and managed to slash at Dimentio Doom's eye with Galaxia. The monster tried to swat him away, but he used his agility to dodge and run up to Dimentio Doom's face, slashing at his third eye and using a Sword Beam afterward.
Mario: Let me in the action!
The red plumber jumped up a couple of asteroids while avoiding some dark tentacles fired out of Dimentio Doom's body and managed to kick him in the chest and bash him with his hammer. The monster held his stomach in pain as Mario jumped on the top platform and used Kickbrin to hit Dimentio Doom's eye. His monstrous scream was enough to knock Mario over.
"I've got you, Bro!" Luigi shouted as he managed to catch Mario. He thanked him and watched as Luigi used his Super Jump to reach Dimentio Doom's third eye and hit it head on while it was open.
"Time to change things up," the monster teleported out of their sights and appeared above them. He used his power to send the asteroids flying in the air and let them rain down upon the heroes.
"Whoa! Get outta the way!" Sonic shouted as he fell on the ground and tried to avoid the asteroids that were coming down fast. Unfortunately, one ended up hitting him in the head, leaving him dazed. Everyone else also got hurt by some asteroids as well.
"Ah ha ha ha! Look at you heroes! You're getting injured like toddlers who got a cut from a turnip! Oh, how funny things can be!"
Dimentio Doom grinned as two blasters appeared in both hands. After spitting a spell down at the ground, he attempted to blast them by firing a couple of purple lasers at the group.
Mario: Mama mia! This is nuts!
"How many moves does he have, anyway?!" Luigi exclaimed, jumping out of a laser's way. Dimentio Doom charged up a shot afterward and fired down at the group. Chopper tried defending himself with Galaxia, but it didn't seem to work too well.
"Ugh… I can't really defend against these lasers!" Chopper grunted.
Dimentio Doom merely roared as he flew down to the heroes again. He hurled another spell from his mouth down at the group, but Chopper was able to deflect it by swinging Galaxia at it, making it hit his third eye.
"Gah! Such insolence!" Dimentio Doom screeched as steam came out of his eye. His happy eyes changed from angry as a hammer was created by his magic. There appeared to be an icy glow around it as he slammed it to the ground, sending a wave of ice at the group.
"Poyo! (Heads up!)" Kirby shrieked as he jumped out of the way. Dimentio Doom also tossed two Sword Knights at the group, with Kirby inhaling one of them to gain the Sword ability. Once Dimentio Doom teleported to them, Kirby instantly jumped and spun his sword at him, leaving a couple of injuries on his monstrous, alien-like body.
"Ugh, you… We'll see how long you stay up when I use your own weapon against you!" Dimentio Doom created two, large dark swords that resembled Galaxia. He brought them down at a horizontal angle to slice at the group, but ended up missing. Luigi was able to land a Super Jump on him and reach his third eye as well.
"Yeah! I managed to get him!" Not only that, but it interrupted Dimentio Doom's sword attack as well. Out of anger, he teleported in front of Luigi and fired a dark beam from his mouth at him and his brother.
"Whoa! How'd he do that?!" Sonic gaped.
"I guess he has that power…" Blade trailed, throwing a shuriken at Dimentio Doom as he jumped on a floating asteroid. After Dimentio Doom finished his attack, he teleported to Blade and clawed at him, destroying the asteroid and knocking him to the ground.
"Ugh… If only Tippi were here to help…" Chopper wheezed.
"Poyo? (Well, why don't you get that wand out?)" Kirby suggested.
"Kirby… I don't have her wand anymore."
"You lost it?" Luigi gaped.
"No… Tipral shattered it. So, there's no more of contacting Tippi and Count Bleck anymore."
Mario: That's horrible!
"Oh, you poor heroes! You lost one of your helpers! What a shame! Your cries are like those of a wolf howling for soup!" bellowed Dimentio Doom as he teleported in front of the group and attempted to claw at them.
"That doesn't mean we're going to give up now," retorted Sonic, who used a Whirlwind to keep Dimentio Doom off guard and attacked his third eye. "Besides, we already know how to beat you!"
"Poyo! (Yeah!)" Kirby shouted as he slashed at Dimentio Doom's body and managed to deliver an upper slash to Dimentio Doom's eye, causing him to cover it in pain. This didn't make the monster happy, as he let out a scream of rage and fired a ball of magic down at the group.
"I don't think so!" Chopper smirked, firing a rainbow ball at the magic projectile, causing a small explosion between them. He helped Kirby get up to the jester monster and went all out with his sword.
Dimentio Doom screeched and grabbed Kirby. He sent him flying down to Chopper, leaving them dazed while on the ground. Sonic merely clenched a fist and used his Sonic Wind to attack Dimentio Doom and his third eye while giving the monster a glare.
"I guess you have become what you are," Sonic said as he frowned. "A monster."
"I'm glad you think that, you pesky hedgehog!" Dimentio Doom cackled, swing his arm to attack Sonic. He dodged with a Spin Jump and ran up his arm and attacked his eye with a Homing Attack.
"By monster, I mean by what you've done. You know what I mean…"
"Your words don't affect me."
"Sonic, let's not worry about that now. He chose to turn into this, and we're going to stop him." Chopper declared, holding Galaxia up and storing power in it. With a mighty swing, the green Sword Beam struck Dimentio Doom in the eye, causing him to scream in pain again.
"Enough!" Dimentio Doom clapped his hands together and a huge shockwave hit everyone and dispelled Kirby's Sword ability and Chopper's sword, which began to bounce all over the ground.
"Whoa! Since when could he do that?!"
"I never expected him to be able to do that," Blade gawked. "Well, go get that sword back if we need it!"
Chopper agreed and inhaled the sword before it could get away. After swallowing it, he donned his usual appearance with the Sword and struck Dimentio Doom with a slash attack.
"With the power of Dark Doom's eye, I can do many things! That's why I wanted to use him to rule the universe!" Dimentio Doom explained as he summoned a black hole that tried to suck the group in. Everyone tried as best as they could to get away from the black hole and succeeded. Dimentio Doom, frustrated, teleported above the group and began to spew out purple flames.
"Is it just me or does that purple flame remind me of Maquano?" Chopper pondered as he got out of the way from the fire. While the monster was doing this, Mario gripped his hammer, jumped on an asteroid and slammed it down on Dimentio Doom's eye. It made him cringe, but it didn't stop him from knocking Mario away by spitting a spell at him to knock him off the asteroid.
Dimentio Doom cackled as he created a giant, dark hand that he threw down at the group in order to grab them, somewhat in a way Thoreau could grab things.
"What's this? Does this monster have abilities from the Pixls?!" Thoreau gaped.
"Oh, geez… That's not good." Chopper gulped as Dimentio Doom fired two missiles down at the group. Blade gulped and threw Hommissile at one of them to blow it up, while Mario grabbed one with Thoreau and waited for Dimentio Doom to come down, allowing him to blow it up in his face.
Mario: I wonder what other moves he's got…
Dimentio Doom teleported in front of the group and used his magic to heal himself of 80 HP, making everyone gape. Chopper attempted to strike him with his sword, but he teleported right behind the group and summoned two Sparkys to attack. Kirby inhaled one to gain the Plasma ability, while Blade took care of the other Sparky with his katana.
"Well this stinks. He can heal himself…" Blade grumbled.
Dimentio Doom grinned as he began to charge up another beam attack. Instead of firing it straight at them, he fired it into the sky. Afterward, he teleported above them and began to fire shootings stars down while a beam fired down from the ground.
"Poyo! (This is nuts!)" Kirby cried as he began to store some power in his Plasma ability. So far, he was doing a good job while avoiding the attacks. Due to his electric barrier, he wasn't harmed by most of the shooting stars.
As for everyone else, they were in a pickle.
After getting hurt from a couple of shooting stars, Sonic suggested that they should use a Star Shroom Shake. They all agreed and drank from a can to recover 150 HP. As soon as Dimentio Doom teleported back to the ground, he used magic to create some boxes to trap them.
"Don't think I forgot my own magic, you filthy little heroes!" Dimentio Doom cackled as he attempted to trap a few of them. They all took action and moved as fast as they could, with Blade striking his third eye with his katana. Dimentio Doom growled and swatted the ninja away with his own claw.
Blade got up before Dimentio Doom could create another ice hammer and allowed Chopper to strike him with his sword before he could even try to attack. But, even a slash to the third eye wasn't enough to keep him from slamming the hammer onto the ground. Ice shards began to fall from the sky and land on the group. Blade simply used Barry to keep himself from getting hurt.
"So, heroes… How does it feel to see my true power?" Dimentio Doom asked with a grin.
"Is that all you got?" Sonic scoffed, hitting Dimentio Doom's eye with a Homing Attack followed by Luigi's Super Jump, leaving the monster off guard. Chopper helped out by jumping on a couple of asteroids while avoiding Dimentio Doom's attack and hacked at his eye.
"Poyo! (Heads up!)" Kirby noted as he jumped on top of Chopper and fired a Plasma Wave at Dimentio Doom's eye, causing him to scream and force himself to knock the two off the asteroid with a spell.
Mario: How much HP does he have left?
"Kinda hard to say… He's more than halfway down, that's for sure." Luigi noticed upon looking at Dimentio Doom's HP bar.
When Chopper and Kirby fell to the ground, Dimentio Doom created a portal and flew through it. Everyone gulped and looked around to find the crazy jester monster.
He couldn't be seen anywhere.
"Oh, man… I don't feel safe now!" Luigi gulped.
"I've got an idea," Chopper held his sword up and began to store some power. "If he's going to charge at us, I'll be ready."
Blade turned around and noticed a dark portal appearing right behind them. "Heads up, guys! He's coming right for us!"
"Ah ha ha ha! Here I come!" cackled Dimentio Doom as he came flying out of the portal, ready to ram into his enemies. However, Chopper swung Galaxia and a green Sword Beam fired straight at Dimentio Doom, leaving him cringing in pain.
"Go for it, guys!" Chopper shouted as he allowed Mario to thrust his hammer upward at Sonic while he was curled in a ball to strike Dimentio Doom. Afterward, he jumped on Luigi's head and managed to bash the monster's third eye with ease.
Luigi helped Mario and used his Super Jump to attack next, hitting Dimentio Doom right in the eye and causing him to cringe again.
"My my, you six heroes are putting up a bit of a fight, despite me having all of this power," Dimentio Doom realized. "Not bad. In fact, I commemorate you for that! However, I'm going to make it a little more interesting!"
"Oh, really? How do you plan on doing that?" scoffed Sonic.
"Oh, I'll show you, you pesky hedgehog," the monster grinned as he healed himself of 80 HP and ended up flipping into 3-D. Everyone's eyes widened in fear as they tried to scan the area.
Mario: Where'd he go?!
"Right behind you," Dimentio Doom flipped back into 2-D and hurled a spell at Mario, knocking him over. He attempted to hurl one at Kirby, but Chopper hurled a rainbow ball at his third eye, stopping him for a moment. It didn't stop him from attacking, but it ended up hitting Chopper instead.
"Ouch… That looked like it hurt." Blade commented.
"It did…" Chopper cringed.
"No matter. I still have to do something." Blade rushed in and attempted to stab Dimentio's eye, but he flipped into 3-D and hurled a spell at Blade from behind, knocking him over on the ground.
"Hey! Why don't you actually come out and show yourself?" Sonic suggested. "You're just bein' a coward, that's all!"
"Very well!" Dimentio Doom flipped back into 2-D, but instantly teleported in front of Sonic to claw at him. He fell over, but managed to get up and dodge him charging at him.
Meanwhile, Kirby charged up another Plasma Wave attack and fired it straight at Dimentio Doom while he was busy with Sonic, causing him to turn his attention to the pink puffball. It didn't take too long for Kirby to charge up another Plasma Wave, and even when Dimentio Doom used his claws to attack him, he simply used his Defend ability to prevent himself from taking too much damage.
"Your defense is as annoying as a laughing turtle who's getting tickled!"
"Poyo… (That makes no sense…)" Kirby trailed with an irritated look as he fired his Plasma Wave at Dimentio Doom and left him paralyzed for a couple of seconds, allowing Luigi to jump in the air and land on Dimentio Doom's eye. He tried to swipe at the green plumber, but since he was smaller and quicker, he was able to get out of the way.
"Geez… I can't believe we're fighting a monster with such immense power…" Luigi panted as he landed on the ground while running from the globs of dark energy Dimentio Doom was firing from his mouth.
He slapped Mario's hand as a way for him to stop him. The red plumber waited as Chopper did an upper kick attack on him to send him flying up. With his attack ready, he landed on Dimentio Doom's eye with a Super Ground Pound. Since this brought the monster to the ground, it allowed Chopper to jump up to it and slash at Dimentio Doom with Galaxia.
"Maybe this should teach you a lesson!" Dimentio Doom grinned as he spat a dark glob of energy from his mouth at Chopper. He retaliated by swinging his sword at it, sending it flying back to Dimentio Doom.
"Wait, isn't this like something you did before?" Blade recalled.
"Yeah, back when we fought him as Dimentral," Chopper nodded.
Mario: What's Dimentral?
"A combination of Tipral, Dimentio and the Chaos Heart. One thing for sure is that this form looks uglier."
"Yeah, that's why I wanted to give it a little makeover!" Sonic grinned before receiving face palms.
"Sonic… This is a serious situation here." Blade warned. "We're being attacked by a monster. A monster!"
"Sorry…"
"Oh, rest assured! You'll be sorry when I'm done with you heroes!" Dimentio Doom swatted at the glob of energy coming back at him and sent it flying at Sonic and Blade. Chopper jumped in the way and slashed at the energy, sending it back to Dimentio Doom.
Before the monster could even do anything else, Kirby fired another Plasma Wave at Dimentio Doom's eye to leave him off guard. The dark glob of energy struck Dimentio Doom and stunned him for sure.
"Awesome!" Sonic grinned as he curled up in a ball and prepared for his Light Speed Attack. After fully charged, he went all out on Dimentio Doom, striking his third eye a couple of times. He gave one last grin as he finished his attack with a Homing Attack.
Blade followed up next, throwing a couple of shurikens at Dimentio Doom and using Hommissile to keep him from seeing Blade with all of the smoke. When he could see the ninja, however, he ended up getting hit by his katana in the eye. He tried swatting him away, but he merely turned into a log and kicked his eye from an angle.
Dimentio Doom teleported down to Mario and tried to fire a dark beam, but he was able to jump out of the way and kick at Dimentio Doom's eye. After striking him with Kickbrin, he bashed his eye with his hammer.
"Ugh… What is going on?" Dimentio Doom wheezed before Luigi was able to strike him with a Super Jump. "This is not how it was supposed to go!"
"That's good for us!" Luigi smirked as he struck Dimentio Doom with his flutter and threw Bonjourang down at his eye. The monster managed to get one good shot, but he ended up missing Luigi and hit Kirby with a dark glob of energy.
He got rid of his Plasma ability, but it didn't make him pleased.
Kirby pulled his Final Cutter out and jumped straight for the jester monster. He slashed at his eye a couple of times and nearly left him weakened. At this rate, there was no way he was going to win the battle.
"Fools!" Dimentio Doom cried as he attempted to charge another dark beam. Chopper, on the other hand, raised his sword. When a green glow surrounded it, he jumped in the air and slashed at Dimentio Doom with a Galaxia Sword Beam, causing the monster to be left completely stunned.
"Yeah! We did it!" Luigi cheered.
Mario: Luigi… He's not done yet.
"Wait, what?"
"Not yet," Chopper corrected.
"Poyo? (What're you doing?)" Kirby asked.
"I'm going to finish this," Chopper rushed straight at him, gripping his sword. "Dimentio… This is for everyone that you harmed!"
He jumped in the air and raised his sword so that it was aiming right for Dimentio Doom. The monster tried to swat at him, but his immense speed was too much for him that he ended up getting stabbed.
"Whoa… Did he seriously…" Blade stammered.
"Chopper stabbed him right in the eye," Sonic nodded.
As Chopper jumped away from Dimentio Doom, Galaxia shattered and his floppy hat disintegrated. Dimentio Doom's third eye began to flash a white color and his eyes widened in pain.
"Wh-What?! Could this be…?!"
The monster sank to the ground and fell over on his back. All of the asteroids seemed to disappear as the six heroes walked over to the defeated Dimentio Doom.
"How did you manage to do it?" he wheezed. "I thought with the power of Dark Doom and the Chaos Heart, I would be unstoppable!"
"Well, looks like you were led the wrong way," Chopper smirked.
"Poyo, (Yeah, you really should get your facts straight,)" Kirby nodded.
"Look, if you didn't want to get yourself hurt like this, you shouldn't have tried to pick a fight with us in the first place," Sonic informed.
"Although, I thought most of your actions were pretty cowardly," Blade mentioned. "I mean, you attack someone from behind? That's cowardly in my book."
Mario: Maybe you should've stayed in The Underwhere.
"I… I don't really know what to add to this." Luigi stammered. "I guess I can say that your plans were backfired. Yeah! That's something you should've realized! The hero wins in an adventure, you know!"
"Ungh… Don't think that this is the end…" grunted Dimentio Doom.
"It is the end, for you that is," Chopper corrected. "Face it. You lost."
"You may think that, but when time comes, I will be back to murder you all, even in your dreams! Ah…ha...ha…ha."
"Like that'll ever happen."
"I think it's time I finished this off with one last surprise up my sleeves! Ah ha ha ha ha… CIAO!"
Dimentio Doom enveloped in purple flames as part of the monstrous body began to sink into the ground. Dark Doom was thrown out of the monster but left unharmed somehow. When he got up, his third eye was fully shut.
"My eye… It feels much better." Dark sighed. "But… What am I doing here?"
The Chaos Heart was also released from the monster and was now floating in between the heroes and Dark Doom. Before anyone could answer to Dark, Tipral, O'Chunks, Mimi, Fawful, Nastasia, and Mr. L teleported right beside him, with Tipral taking the Chaos Heart.
"Bravo, heroes. Thank you so much for your hard work." Tipral thanked as he slowly clapped. "I believe you all deserve the title of 'hero of the prophecy' for your hard work."
"We let yeh fight 'im so we could take back what's ours!" O'Chunks grinned evilly.
"So everyone else IS alive…" Chopper trailed. "All right, enough already. After what Dimentio done, you should know that this heart is dangerous. It needs to go."
"Just because Dimentio took it doesn't mean I'm not going to give up on my goals," Tipral retorted. "We don't need to worry about him getting in the way anymore."
"Well we're certainly not going to let you try that," Sonic said as he clenched his fist. "We defeated a monster with ultimate power, and we bet we can take you guys on!"
"Bah, I don't need to waste my time with you guys for right now. Face it, Chopper. You lost, and it's all your fault."
"How is it Chopper's fault?" Blade asked.
"You'll fight out," Tipral said as he aimed his scepter at the heroes and teleported them out of the dimension.
"Wait… So how is it Chopper's fault anyway?" Mimi asked.
"I'll tell you later," Tipral assured.
Flipside Tower-
"Unnnghh…" Chopper moaned as he slowly got up. He noticed that he was back at Flipside Tower. When he looked around, he saw that everyone else was lying on the ground. "Guys! Wake up!"
"P-Poyo…? (W-What…? What just happened?)" Kirby slowly got up, followed by the other four. They looked around and noticed that they were also back in Flipside Tower.
"We're back here?" Sonic gawked.
"I think Tipral teleported us back here…" Blade trailed.
Mario: But why?
"Guys! The sky!" Luigi gaped as he looked up at the sky. Everyone noticed that there was a dark swirling vortex above them. From what they could see, it was at a big size, but not big enough to fill up the whole sky.
"Oh, no… The Void's back!" Chopper gasped.
"But how did it grow so quickly?" Sonic asked. "Usually it would slowly grow!"
"I fear that our enemy has gotten his hands on dark matter," Merlon sighed as he arrived in the scene. "It is said that if fused with something, it will make something grow at a faster rate. For example, using it on a plant would lead to it growing faster. This can potentially harm the plant as well."
"I can't believe it… So, Tipral won?" Blade gaped. "I thought the good guys usually win?"
"Sadly, not all the time… You see, with the dark matter, The Void will grow ten times as fast as what it normally did. I fear that we don't have much time anymore…"
"How much time do we have?" Luigi asked.
"If my predictions are true, then The Void could possibly destroy the entire universe within three weeks," Merlon's words nearly shocked everyone. Plus, with a tremor, they saw The Void grow a little bigger.
"Oh, god… Was Tipral planning to use the Chaos Heart's power to its full advantage?" Blade gaped.
"Mmmmmmm… That is not easy for me to say. Perhaps Lady Timpani knows something about that."
"Merlon… Tippi and Count Bleck aren't with us." Chopper frowned.
"Do you mean…"
"They're not dead. Tipral shattered the wand to prevent us from getting in contact. I think we're on our own here…"
"This is definitely not good," Merlon slowly shook his head as his head hung low. "Well, there's only one option left. Young ones, you must find the remaining Pure Hearts left throughout each dimension and form the Purity Heart. That is the only thing that can counter the Chaos Heart's true power."
"But we didn't find a Pure Heart in Tipral's Palace. Wouldn't a door end up leading us to a Pure Heart?"
"Poyo… (You know… If that door led us to his palace, surely there should've been a Pure Heart in there…)" Kirby trailed.
"Yeah, I know, Kirby! I think we should go back and…" Chopper paused for a moment and felt something in his inventory. "Wait… Hold on… I feel like I have something that I never had with me before."
He pulled out a small dark chest with a little note attached to it. He took it off the chest and began to read it.
Dear Chopper,
As much as I loathe you with a fiery passion, I will admit that you did help us get rid of Dimentio and helped get the Chaos Heart back into my possession. I decided to give you something back in return. I happened to find this in my room, and I thought that if I just gave this to you, you wouldn't have to come back to my palace again when it's been damaged.
From,
Tipral
P.S.: Don't expect me to ever do this for you. Next time we meet, you're dead to me.
"Tipral gave us something?" Luigi gawked.
Mario: That's very strange of him…
When Chopper opened the chest, a dark gray heart popped out and landed right in front of him.
"It's… It's the Pure Heart!" Merlon gasped. "But… How could Tipral have had this with him?!"
"Maybe he found it while he was out somewhere?" Sonic pondered. "Although he probably wouldn't do that, he probably took it because he wanted to make it harder for us to get the Pure Hearts? That's just what I think…"
"Hmmmm… Well, you never know. But, I highly doubt that he would even do something like this again." Chopper shrugged.
"I suggest you heroes take the Pure Heart and come back to my house. We need to discuss a few things, and maybe we can talk about your venture through the palace?" Merlon suggested.
"All right, Merlon," Chopper gave him a nod and picked up the Pure Heart. All of the Pixls began to dance as Chopper held the Pure Heart upward.
"Whew! I'm glad we got this thing!"
YOU GOT A PURE HEART
END OF CHAPTER
Giving up a Pure Heart to the heroes was a strange thing for Tipral to do, but they believed that it was for the better. However, at a price, they had to deal with The Void, which was growing at a faster rate. "I can't believe we failed to stop Tipral from resurrecting the Chaos Heart and void…" trailed Luigi. "How on earth was he able to achieve his goals?" At this point, Chopper had a guilty feeling in his head as he frowned. Nevertheless, they put the Pure Heart away and made their way back to Merlon's house.
Sometimes the good guys don't always win at the end of a chapter. This is an example.
And even if this part took me two weeks to finish, it was all worth it.
As for the fight with Dimentio Doom, it was a bit of a throwback to the Super Dimentio fight and the final boss of Kirby's Return to Dream Land (which I will NOT spoil). It was to make the fight a little interesting, in my opinion.
Anyway, with Dimentio finally gone, things actually be a little easier for the heroes and even Tipral and his minions.
...Or will it?
