After a couple of minutes, they finally made their way to the end of the long road. Standing in front of the road's end was a door, which the group proceeded to enter. Through that door was another area with a narrow road, but with a yellow ? Block lying on the ground. Some Darksprine Troopers were around as well. In fact, there were many of them flying through the sky.
"Hoo, boy… We're getting close now." Chopper looked down at the ground. He didn't see any bottomless pit around, nor did he believe there would be any more. "I think we're getting closer to the bottom of this place."
"That means we must be close by..." Flyer deduced, the lightning appearing even closer than before.
"I can't believe we've finally made it this way," Vivian said. "I thought we weren't going to make it through here…"
"Wait, guys… Take a look at what's going on down there!" Flyer pointed down to the ground where they could hear a couple of Darksprine Troopers interrogating a smaller trooper in gray armor.
"So, you honestly think you can step into our territory and claim it as your own? Think again, fool!" the Darksprine whacked the smaller trooper across the face with its gun. "Either you leave, or die!"
"I'll NEVER listen to you fools!" the trooper retorted. In the end, it ended up getting shot by the Darksprine.
"Stupid little…" the Darksprine turned around to where Chopper was, and it was suddenly caught off guard. "Holy… Guys, you might wanna check over there. I found something PRETTY interesting!"
"Uh oh… They spotted us!" Chopper gulped.
At that moment, the Darksprines used their jetpacks to get to Chopper and his friends, and they began firing. "Don't leave any of them alive! There's no way we can let them make it to the core!"
Chopper began to flee from the Darksprine Troopers that were firing, easily avoiding their shots. "I bet you guys are with those Shadow Sirens and Brothers, aren't you?"
"Those goons? Yeah. We work for them! You have any problem with that?" a Darksprine asked.
"Oh, I DO have a problem with that!" Chopper turned back around, but he noticed that there was a dark purple ship that was flying down his direction, firing at him. "Oh, come on! They have ships too?!"
"What are we supposed to do now?" Scrub asked, his friends catching up to him.
"I think I can try something out," Chopper made a big leap onto the ship and gripped onto it as hard as he could. He could easily slip off of this thing, but he took out the Star Rod out and used its star point to keep himself attached to the ship, along with slicing through it.
"Get him off the ship!" one Darksprine ordered, the others rapidly firing at Chopper, but once he got on top of the ship, he began to deflect some of their shots back at them. Mario had performed his Triple Jump on a few of them, and Sonic began to continuously hit them with Homing Attacks. The rest had fought some off as well, doing so successfully.
While Chopper watched them fight, the ship he was on of tried to shake him off. Being used to standing on flying vehicles, he had no problem staying on it. He was able to perform a Gravity Stomp to pierce through the ship and destroy it within minutes. His landing was graceful, with a ship exploding in the background.
"Whew… I can't believe I managed to do that!" Chopper smiled, finishing his pose. "That Gravity Stomp is useful!"
"That must've been a lot to do," Vivian stated.
"It was. I'm glad I had the Star Rod with me. If it weren't for that, then I wouldn't have got on that ship. Anyway… I think it's safe to say that we should get going. We may not have much time left."
"Yeah, I can agree with that," Scrub nodded. "We're definitely close, so we can't waste any time right now!"
Chopper took the pathway to the next area, which led them to the the lowest ground possible in this entire place. There wasn't much around, though. It felt flat and barren for the most part.
"Wow. I never thought we'd make it to ground level," Bombette said in surprise.
"Trust me. I was pretty happy when I finally got to Bowser's Castle up in Star Haven and Staris's home." Chopper recalled. "It gave me the feeling that I achieved something great. Though, there were some sacrifices..."
"Sacrifices? What happened?" Vivian asked.
"Well, Choppor had been badly damaged, and he wanted us to go without him. He ended up shutting down due to the damage he took... But he's all better now. ...I hope."
He decided to go over to the large Light Block ahead and destroy it with his Master Gloves, allowing them to progress over to the next area. This time, they had come across a dark, liquid-like substance, and in front of them was a surf panel. Chopper changed to his Water ability and created a wave to carry him across the water.
"Well, I guess it makes sense that we'd see this..." Chopper trailed, seeing another surf panel ahead. However, he noticed the path over there was blocked by a barrier, and when he tried throwing a light ball at it, it didn't appear to be effective. "Crud... This isn't going to work."
"What is it, Chopper?" Shadower asked.
"Wait, hold on a moment..." Chopper noticed four trails, one to the upper left, one lower left, another upper right, and the fourth to the lower right. "OK... I think I see what needs to be done."
When the others had joined him, they started off by taking the upper left trail. When there was a surf panel, Chopper had let the wave carrying him go, and he landed on the ground. The only thing they seemed to notice in this area was a dark-looking tree. Mario had gotten a look at it and gestured Chopper to come over.
Mario: Get on my shoulders!
Choosing not to object, Chopper got on his shoulders, and both began to spin near the tree. This had uprooted the tree as well, revealing a crack in the floor. Knowing what to do, Chopper picked Bombette up and threw her at the crack, destroying it and revealing a strange orb of light energy underneath. Everyone gazed at it in awe, but it quickly surged into Chopper's gloves.
"What was that?" Shadower asked.
"I don't know... But it looks like it was interested in my gloves..." Chopper trailed. "Hmmmmmmm... Well, let's check the other areas."
Getting back to surfing, the group took the lower left area this time, leading them to a red ! Switch and a large gap between them and another large gap ahead. Chopper decided to hit the switch, making a platform that made a glowing platform appear. However, it appeared far for them to reach, and the distance to get to the platform was not jumpable. Once he approached it, the platform disappeared.
However, when he hit it again, he got on Scrub and let him carry him over the gap and onto the platform. There was another red ! Switch nearby, and that activated a large, floor panel under a spiky pit ahead. Chopper deduced that Sonic would be fast enough to get there, so with his speed, they sped across the floor and reached a Dark Block. He smashed it with his Master Hammer, and more light had appeared, surging into his gloves.
They headed back to the water area and went to the lower right path. It was smaller compared to the other areas, and there wasn't a thing around. However, when Vivian had pulled Chopper into the shadows, they had discovered the left wall to be transparent. When they emerged, Chopper used Shadower's ability to become transparent to go through it and find two walls he could jump up. Using his Wall Jump, Chopper had reached a small platform with a light orb, which surged into his gloves as well.
Now there was the final path to take, the upper right. They wasted no time in going there, and the first thing they spotted was a long pathway with turrets in the background firing. There appeared to be way too many of them, and it would be too difficult to outrun them as well. However, what they also discovered was a small flap near the long path. Kirby's inhaling had managed to peel it off, revealing a broken turret. Flyer quickly busted out his tools, and he started to repair the turret at a ridiculous pace. With it active, it brought its attention to some of the turrets and fired, destroying at least half of them. While disappointed that it didn't destroy them all, it at least made it possible to run through it at a ridiculous pace.
Berry knew what had to be done, and she mentioned to Chopper something about sharing her affection for him, and he immediately bolted past the turret shots. Once he reached the end, he saw a large statue in the way. He couldn't break it with his hammer, so he called out for Tamber to come over. He glided past the shots and reached him. Instead of smashing it, he picked it up, revealing another light orb attracted to Chopper's gloves. Once they surged into them, his gloves began to glow a light yellow.
"I don't know what this is, but it feels powerful!" Chopper gaped. "W-We should probably leave this area..."
"All right, fine," Tamber replied, making his way back to the others. When Chopper reached them, they surfed out of the area and headed to the dark barrier in the main area. Stepping off the surf panel, Chopper removed his Water ability and approached the barrier. His light glow started to react greatly to this.
"Hmmmm... I would suggest throwing a light ball at it, Chopper." Flyer suggested.
"OK..." Chopper opened the palm of his hand, and large, light yellow ball of energy had fired at the barrier, completely shattering it. "Whoa!"
"That was neat!" Sonic smirked. "Let's get a move on!"
When they progressed onward, they were unfortunate to be met with a large army of Darklings and Darksprine Troopers. They had been busy guarding this area, and upon spotting them, they aimed their weapons at them.
"Oh, crud! This isn't good!" Scrub gulped.
"See? I told you I'd be helping myself." one Darksprine Trooper smirked. "Now you're toast!"
"And now you shall fall, Chopper!" another Darksprine exclaimed. "This time, we're not fleeing!"
Looking above them, there were Darksprine Ships and some Darksprine on their jetpacks. Needless to say, they were in trouble.
"Well... We can handle these guys!" Sonic smirked. "They don't look like threats!"
"But look at how many there are!" Berry gaped. "That'd be too risky..."
Chopper looked down at his gloves and noticed they were still glowing. In fact, they seemed to be giving off a strong reaction to the enemies. He thought for a moment, but an idea suddenly struck his head. Smiling, he used up that power to create a large ball of light yellow energy swiftly, letting it linger above the Darksprine army.
And it was a lot bigger than what his Master Gloves could do.
"Wh-What's that?!" one Darksprine gawked, looking up at the sky.
When another looked up, it glared at the group. "Do not let them stop us! Destroy them all!"
They were all ready to pull the trigger, but the ball of energy had dropped down on them, creating a large explosion that ended up throwing the heroes back. It nearly blinded them as well!
Mario: What happened?!
"Poyo! (It's too bright!)" Kirby cried.
When the blinding light had gone away, everyone noticed no sign of the Darksprines or their ships. The only thing they saw remaining was steam coming up from the floor.
"Was that the last of them?" Berry asked.
"I think so..." Chopper trailed, looking down at his gloves. They were no longer glowing.
"Hold on, what kind of power was that, Gumball?" Tamber asked.
"Errrrr... I'm not so sure... Although, it looked pretty familiar, like some kind of light from two years ago..."
"Well, whatever it was, it was neat!" Scrub smiled. "Now let's get a move on before we run into any more trouble!"
Chopper nodded in agreement and made his way to the end of the area ahead. There was a Save Block and Heart Block nearby, which he had struck just in case. Wasting no time, they had approached the next area. At this point, they knew they were close to the center. The dark lightning was louder than before, and it was even bigger and closer.
What also surprised them were the glowing stairs leading closer to that lightning.
"Wow, those are some pretty cool stairs," Bombette remarked.
"I'm guessing that's where our destination is," Shadower said. "I can't believe we've really made it this far..."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's stop this darkness once and for all!" Chopper declared, making his way toward the stairs. Unfortunately, this was all put to a halt when he spotted an exhausted Bowser and Kammy nearby.
"Grrrrrmmmppph… Hrrgh… Bluh. What happened?" Bowser grumbled, just recently getting back up.
"If I could recall, we were sucked into a portal..." Kammy explained, taking a look at her surroundings. "And this place seems awfully dark..."
"Yeah, it's dark...and evil!" Bowser grinned. "This looks like the perfect world for me to conquer! Speaking of world, where are we?"
"Hmmmm... Not even I know of this place, Your Tiredness," Kammy said. "I've never seen a place like this... And I do agree that it's perfect for us to take over! That is, if we had the Koopa Clan with us... And that would require us to get back home..."
"Great... And how are we going to get back home?!" Bowser roared. "I got stuff to do, such as kidnapping the princess!"
"Oh, boy... This is probably one of the last people I wanted to see here..." Chopper sighed.
Kammy had caught sight of Chopper and his friends and pointed her wand at them. "Your Sluggishness! Look behind you!"
"Huh? What?" Bowser turned around and was left in surprise by who was facing them. "GWWAAARRGH! What are YOU doing here?!"
Mario: We got through here in Camikon's Castle.
"What? You went through Camikon's Castle and found a door? Say… Where is that old man? I need to crush him for throwing me in here!"
"Too late. We beat him first." Chopper stated.
"You defeated him already? Well that's just great! First I miss my opportunity to crush a traitor, and now you two are here!" Bowser began to stomp the ground angrily. "THIS IS SO UNFAIR!"
"Wow. Immature, much?" Flyer gawked.
"I think it's funny," Chopper smiled.
"Your Evilness! Hold on a minute!" Kammy yelled. "Not all hope is lost! You wanted to crush Mario, remember? Well… Now's the chance for you to do it!"
Bowser had stopped stomping upon realizing that. "Wait… You're right, Haggy! I just realized that now!" Grinning, he turned his attention to Chopper and Mario, who got in their fighting stances. "All right, you two! I think now's the time for us to settle this!"
"Don't worry, Your Angriness! I shall aid you!" Kammy assured, only to get scorched by Bowser's flames.
"NO! This fight is only between me and them! I don't need any help from you to win this! I'm BOWSER!"
"But... Wait, perhaps I could use my magic to make you stronger?"
"You mean that special ability you granted me before? Yeah! Do that! I'm not holding back this time!"
"As you wish, Lord Bowser!" Kammy raised her wand, and she began to cast a dark spell upon Bowser. "With this spell, you will be able to crush Chopper and Mario once and for all!"
"Wait... What's going on?" Chopper gawked.
Once the spell was used on Bowser, he began to grow twice in size. Bowser now had a spiked, scaled shell, and his horns had a new curve to them and were also bigger, making him look more threatening.
"Uh oh… I remember this..." Chopper gulped, remembering the transformation from two years ago.
"GWAAA HA HA HA HA! Are you scared now, Chopper?!" Giga Bowser cackled. "Remember this form when you were only a little toddler? Giga Bowser is back, baby!"
"Ugh... I know I don't like this form, but it's not going to stop us! Are you ready to be beaten again?"
"I'm not ready to be beaten, but I'm ready to crush you like a pancake! Prepare to face defeat, Chopper and Mario!"
Tattle: Yikes! Bowser has really changed! Well… Now he's called Giga Bowser. All I can see from looking at him is that he's grown bigger than before! Max HP is 560, Attack is 24, and Defense is 4. Watch out for his attacks, Chopper! If he gets in his shell, then that means he can freeze you! If he punches, I'm sure you're going to get burned. His fire breath has also changed to dark breath, which can result in some serious problems... Just watch what he does and make sure you don't get any status effects from him. Those will be a big problem...
"Let's do this!" Chopper started off by using his D-Down Pound on Giga Bowser, taking 10 out of him for starters. Mario used his Super Jump on him to take 8 out of him afterward, annoyed that his Defense was high.
"Now watch what I'm capable of doing!" Giga Bowser stomped his way over to Chopper and Mario and used his dark fire breath on them. They had guarded it, preventing them from getting burned.
"Whoa… That seemed scary…" Berry shivered.
"Well, I fought him before two years ago, so this is nothing new. Plus, there's no way I'm going to lose to Bowser!" Chopper tossed a light ball at Giga Bowser. He felt some serious pain from that, something he remembered two years back.
"Auugh! Why didn't I NOT forget about that?!" With Giga Bowser now vulnerable to attacks, Flyer took a good 10 out of him with his Flying attack. Giga Bowser responded by using his dark dark flaming breath, but this time he hit everyone with it, leaving them with a harsh burn.
"Ugh… I hate it when he leaves a burn on us like that!" Chopper grumbled. He pulled his hammer out and he used a Master Hammer attack on Bowser, followed up with Mario's hammer. Giga Bowser decided to stomp over to Mario and throw a punch at him, scorching him once again.
"Gwa ha ha ha! So how does that feel, Mario?!" Giga Bowser cackled.
"Rah rah rah, Lord Bowser!" Kammy cheered. "You can do it!"
"Thank you, Haggy! I know I'm awesome!"
"All right… Let's try out my Master Gloves here." Chopper decided, using his Master Glove attack to bring a large, yellow ball of energy down on Giga Bowser. Once Bombette hit him with her Bob-omb Blast, he was left angered.
"I'm gonna make sure you stay as an ice sculpture, Chopper!" Giga Bowser roared, getting in his shell and charging into Chopper and his friends while an icy aura surrounded him.
"I'm not letting myself freeze like this!" Chopper brought his fists up and guarded the attack, along with his friends. He knew that if he kept using his normal attacks, he wouldn't get anywhere, so he changed to his Magic ability and struck Giga Bowser with lightning, dealing 10 damage. With Mario's Super Jump, they brought him down to 464 HP.
He jumped up and then came down on Mario, flattening him and preventing him from using his Super Jump attack.
"This time I'm gonna flush a plumber down the toilet!" Giga Bowser declared.
"Not unless we defeat you first!" Chopper used fire magic on Giga Bowser, leaving a burn on him. Vivian used her Fiery Jinx afterward, taking a good 10 out of the mutated Koopa. With that, Giga Bowser used his dark flaming breath on Chopper and Vivian, but they ended up guarding the attack and not receive a severe burn. "Whew… I'm glad he didn't burn us."
Sighing in relief, Chopper had summoned lightning to come down on Giga Bowser, followed up by Sonic's Sonic Wind, dealing 8 damage.
"Take this!" Giga Bowser spewed out a dark fireball at Chopper, leaving him with a burn. Chopper responded with another lightning strike, followed by Tamber's Power Punch attack. That was when Giga Bowser jumped on Tamber, leaving him flattened and unable to attack for a few turns.
"Hey! Not fair!" Tamber growled.
"Gwa ha ha ha! Aw, look at the chump throwing a tantrum!" Giga Bowser laughed, quickly getting interrupted by Chopper's lightning and Mario's Super Jump, which had brought him down to 389 HP.
Giga Bowser breathed out dark fire on Chopper, but it didn't stop him from using his Master Hammer on him, followed up with Berry's Ruby Hammer.
"Gwaargh! What's with all the hammers lately?!" Giga Bowser growled.
"I guess hammers are your worst nightmare!" Berry smirked. Giga Bowser decided to jump on her in response. "Ow..."
"Yeah, that looks like it hurts," Chopper gripped his hammer and turned to Giga Bowser. "All right, Bowser… Take this!"
"Wait! Don't do it yet, Chopper…" Shadower struck Giga Bowser with a Shadow Punch, bringing his defense down to 0. "All right, NOW you can make your attack."
"Thanks, Shadower!" Chopper smirked as he used his Gravity Jump on Giga Bowser, reducing him to 332 HP.
Giga Bowser growled as he stomped on Chopper, who guarded his attack. He managed to attack Bowser by striking him with ice magic this time, followed up by Vivian's Shade Fist, leaving another burn on him.
Giga Bowser stomped over to Vivian and he tried to poison her with his bite. Unfortunately, it didn't work against her, since she had guarded the attack.
"Well that's just great… Are my attacks starting to become useless?!"Giga Bowser exclaimed.
"Relax, Your Viciousness," Kammy suggested. "Perhaps you will get lucky!"
"Lucky? I don't want to rely on luck!"
While he was distracted, Chopper had attacked Giga Bowser with a Power Bounce, stomping on him twelve times and taking 12 out of him. Kirby had also pitched in with his Stone attack. Giga Bowser responded to this with a flaming punch, which managed to burn Kirby.
"Ha HA! Now I got it!"
Chopper decided to discard his Magic ability for now, and he switch to his Paint ability. Smiling, he decided to paint Giga Bowser yellow. Though it only did 6 damage, it was able to leave him paralyzed. With that, Tamber decided that it would be best to charge up his Star Diamond Fist.
"Heh heh! I'll make sure he gets something good!" Tamber chuckled, getting ready to strike. Since they had a free turn, Chopper approached Giga Bowser and hit him with a D-Down Jump. With his Star Diamond Fist attack ready, Tamber threw in his punch, and a giant, green fist had struck Giga Bowser and done 24 damage to him, bringing him to 249 HP.
"Gwargh! What kind of power was THAT?!" Giga Bowser gaped.
"That was extraordinarily powerful..." Kammy remarked.
Giga Bowser approached Mario and swiped at him with his own claws, which had done some damage to Mario's shoulder area. While he did clutch that area, he wasn't going down so soon. He took out a feather and gained his Cape ability.
"What in the world is that supposed to be?" Giga Bowser questioned. "For some reason, it looks awfully familiar..."
Mario: Oh, you'll see!
Chopper attacked Bowser with his Diamond Hammer to take 10 out of him. Afterward, Giga Bowser tried to attack Mario, but thanks to his Cape ability, he was able to deflect his own attack and hit him for 12 damage.
"Nice work, Mario!" Chopper smiled as he used red paint on Bowser to scorch him. Mario spun his cape around Giga Bowser to take another 12 out of him.
"GWAAARGH! How is my attack missing against you?!" Giga Bowser roared, attempting to spit a dark fireball at Mario. But, thanks to the cape, he simply deflected it back at him, taking 24 out of him since it was his own attack. "What?! No fair!"
"Well that was your own fault," Chopper said, switching back to his Magic ability and firing a Flare on Giga Bowser to deal 8 damage, which was followed by Mario's Cape attack, dealing another 12 damage, bringing him to 163 HP. Giga Bowser tried to strike Mario again with another dark fireball, but once again, Mario deflected the attack with his cape.
Mario: You're stupider than I thought!
"Hey! I heard that!" Giga Bowser clenched his fists in anger, but noticed that his Cape ability wore off. "Ah! Now I can finally hit you!"
"Well, not at this moment," Chopper used his Master Hammer attack on him, followed by a Fiery Jinx, bringing him down to 115HP.
"Lord Bowser! Lord Bowser! Do not let them defeat you!" Kammy cheered on.
Now that Giga Bowser could hit Mario, he stomped his way over to him and delivered a punch. Afterward, he ended up getting hit by Chopper's Master Hammer and Flyer's Flying Attack. Giga Bowser focused his attack on Chopper this time, breathing dark fire on him and his friends. Chopper had managed to Superguard it and take less damage in the process.
"Urgh… So you've got a lot more than I thought." Giga Bowser moaned, now feeling exhausted. "But I've still got a couple more tricks up my sleeves."
With that, Chopper approached Giga Bowser and struck him with his Diamond Hammer again. Thanks to Flyer's Flying Attack, Giga Bowser was down to 69 HP, and he sure wasn't looking good.
"Look, I don't really want to hurt you," Chopper started. "But if you give up and let us go, you won't have to take such a serious beating!"
"Like I'll ever do that!" Giga Bowser growled, getting in his shell and throwing himself at the group, dealing 24 damage. Thankfully, no one had become frozen from his attack. "I'll do whatever I can do destroy you all! Then taking Peach will be easy!"
Mario: He never learns...
"I guess so," Chopper quickly shook his head and attacked him with a light ball, followed up by Shadower's Shadow Punch, bringing his defense to 0. Because of this, he was burned by Giga Bowser's flaming punch. Once Chopper hit him with his Master Gloves, and Tamber followed up with a Power Punch, Giga Bowser was down to 28 HP.
"You can still win this, Your Evilness!" Kammy exclaimed. "You-"
"SHUT UP, HAGGY!" Giga Bowser roared, breathing fire on her and knocking her out. "I mean, for crying out LOUD! When can you ever leave me alone for a change! You're not helping!"
When he didn't hear a response from the unconscious Magikoopa, Giga Bowser turned to the heroes, feeling more satisfied. He opened his mouth and breathed dark fire on them this time, leaving them with a burn and knocking Chopper's Magic ability away. Once he was done, Chopper had struck him with a Power Smash, and then Mario struck him with a Super Jump.
"Ungh... No... I'm not going to lose..." Giga Bowser groaned, leaping in the air to crush Mario. He managed to Superguard it and deal 1 damage to him. Once Chopper threw a light ball at him, he was down to 3 HP.
"We almost got this," Sonic smirked.
"OK, Mario!" Chopper started, stepping aside. "He's your enemy…so finish him off!"
Mario gave him a nod and turned to Giga Bowser. Performing a leap in the air, he had struck Giga Bowser with a Super Jump. It was at that point that the energy Kammy granted him had drained out of him, turning him back to normal.
"AAAAAAAAAARGH! NO! I… I lost to Mario AGAIN?! How does he beat me every single time?!" Bowser cried out, quickly collapsing onto the floor and falling unconscious. Since Kammy was already knocked out, they didn't have to worry about him. Everyone sighed in relief as they claimed their Star Points.
"Phew... We did it..." Chopper sighed in relief. "Bowser's beaten. ...Again."
With him out of the way, they looked over at the stairway before them leading to the lightning off in the distance.
"Well... Let's get a move on..."
They made their way up the staircase, which had led them into a massive area with glowing pillars around, and the floor was glowing with many different colors. It definitely stood out compared to how the floor was like in the other areas. The floor was also translucent, too, allowing them to see somewhat underneath.
"Whoa... This area looks AWESOME!" Scrub gaped.
"But it feels quiet..." Flyer trailed. "Too quiet..."
Chopper had found another set of translucent stairs up ahead. Not only that, but there was a Save Block and Heart Block beside them as well. Chopper wasted no time in hitting them before approaching the stairs.
"OK, guys... Whatever's up ahead, it's probably going to be dangerous..." Chopper trailed, looking up at the stairs. "Are you guys ready?"
Everyone gave him a nod, and with that, they made their way up the staircase. At this point, they all knew their adventure was coming to an end...
Well, there's your fight with Giga Bowser... He's definitely improved somewhat from the battle in the first story.
One thing I like about this particular chapter is that there's a part where all the partners are put to use. In fact, I believe every ability (save for Copy Abilities) were put to use in Dark Subspace World. It's like in the Palace of Shadow when every partner is used for a certain task. I wanted to do the same thing here as well.
For those who want Chapter 20 to come to an end (I mean, we've gone through fifteen parts), you can be rest assured, as the next part is indeed the final part. ...And then we follow up with the final fight. *shot*
