BGM: Taking It Easy (Kirby Squeak Squad)
"Wait wait wait… hold up a second!" Ryuji said. "You mean to tell me we're not done yet?"
"Apparently, according to Palkia, there's something amiss that he's sensing." Mewtwo said.
Chiaki grimaced.. "...I think I know what he's referring to."
"You do?" Jade asked.
"We defeated Fecto by slamming a semi truck into him… but, just like with any Kirby final boss, their soul still lingers. Fecto's soul is still out there."
Palkia let out a small cry.
"Then I suppose we need to get rid of the soul too, otherwise every world is still in danger." Strange said.
"The soul is weak, but I can imagine it will get stronger the more we stay here." Mewtwo said.
"Ah, I remember my soul form! Fun times!" Marx smiled.
"Definitely not fun for me…" Magolor mumbled.
"Sectonia…" Taranza closed his eyes.
"That was… definitely a chaotic time…" Susie shuddered.
"Did we luck out with Zero?" Ribbon whispered.
"Maybe?" Adaleine shrugged as they looked at Gooey.
"Hmm, there was some prophecy regarding Void Termina that should he get destroyed, his soul remains and will destroy anything in his way…" Hyness said. "However, we haven't heard a peep about Void sooooo, I guess we lucked out!"
"That's a relief…" Zan sighed.
"Void who now?" Chiaki asked.
Futaba groaned. "We are so going to play Star Allies co-op later…"
"And like with any soul form, we always come back!" Marx smiled.
"Oh yeah? Then where's Drawcia? Surely she'd be here!" Adaleine pointed out.
"...Draw who?"
"Heh, I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'm looking forward to hammerin' that loser's soul into the ground!" Dedede smirked.
"Meh, I got nothing better to do. If he's still around, then technically, the incident's not over yet." Reimu said. "Might as well see this the whole way through."
"Hmph! You guys have your fun." Ridley started to walk away. "I'm going back home."
"Heatran Heat!" Heatran stepped on Ridley's tail.
"OW!" Ridley roared and turned to glare at Heatran. "What's the big idea, you mutated skeletal cow!"
"Heat Heat Tran Heartran!"
"He's saying that because you were unwittingly dragged into this, you have to see this all the way through to the end." Mewtwo translated.
"WHAT! This is an outrage!"
"Heat Heat Tran?"
"Then why aren't you taking off the maid outfit?"
"Believe it or not, it's actually quite comfy. I've grown used to- HEY WAIT A MINUTE! No! This is still an outrage!" He pointed to Bowser and Kyoko. "Those two were dragged in as well and you don't see them complaining!"
"If that guy's soul is still around…" Bowser cracked his knuckles. "He's gonna get an ass whoopin!"
Kyoko shrugged. "Well, might be fun to get away from the office for a while."
"Heatran Heat Heatran."
"If they're going, so are you."
"Tch, I'd rather die then be in this dumb quest all for some stupid soul!"
"If we're lucky, he will die and we won't have to deal with him again…" Nyx mumbled to herself.
"Sure, I'll take a new minion!"
Everyone turned to see Hades casually sitting on a few Star Block. "Yo!"
"Crap." Nyx groaned.
"...Who the shell is this guy?" Raphael asked.
"Hades, charming Lord of the Underworld, how you doin'!"
Strange raised an eyebrow. "Hades? I've never seen one as… flamboyant as you."
"Ah, Doctor Stephen Strange!" Hades smiled. "World famous neuro physician… oh, wait, ex neuro physician. How are your hands holding up?"
"Better than they used to- wait, how do you know-"
"It's Hades, you might as well roll with it." Chiaki said.
"See? Gamer Girl gets it!" Hades grinned as he teleported, wrapping his arm around Strange. "Strange Strange Strange, you're definitely a strong sorcerer of the mystic arts. You've definitely improved… why, I wonder if you could tackle Dormammu again with your level of expertise."
"I possibly coul-"
"I wonder if you can take him on without the Time Stone this time around. Hell, maybe I'll join in on the carnage and we can slaughter you for fun! I have Dor-mammykins on speed dial, so I could easily-"
"Okay! Everyone back into the New World!" Strange quickly said, using his magic to push everyone in, including Palkia.
"HEY! I DIDN'T GIVE YOU MY CONSEEEEEEEEE-" Ridley was shoved in there as Strange glared at Hades and then hopped in.
"Party pooper." He chuckled.

"Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sure missing Tony right about now…" Strange said.
"Aw, you do care!" Dante teased.
"Don't push it."
Umber shook his head. "If you guys are actually suggesting that Fecto might still be alive… I'm not Lakefront-ing."
"...Huh?" Xena looked at him weirdly.
"Oh, ya know… I'm substituting Laugh for Lakefront, which, ya know, Laugh is what Laura's team is." Umber said.
"Ooooh." Xena nodded in understanding.
"Excuse me!" Laura glared. "It's Lakefront!"
Umber smirked. "Laugh."
"Lakefront!"
"Laugh."
"Lakefront!"
"Laugh."
"Lakefront!"
"Lakefront."
"LAUGH!" Laura yelled, before it quickly set in that Umber tricked her. She immediately sulked. "You guys suck…"
"I don't get it." Bowser said.
"Team L-A-F-F. It's Lakefront." Esdeath explained.
"Oooooh! …Wait, I don't hear a T in there!"
"Well, at least Esdeath always got it right." Chiaki said.
Esdeath awkwardly rubbed her arm. "...Uh… yeah."
Earlier…
"Really? They're having a hard time distinguishing it?" Esdeath asked.
"Yeah."
"Even I know it's Lakefront."
"Thank you!"
Esdeath turned to everyone. "Guys, it's simple. L-A-F-F is Laugh, not Lakefro-" She covered her mouth. "Ooops…"
Laura sulked in a corner. "You traitor…"
"No, no, no! I didn't mean it like that, sweetie!"
Back in the present…
"Sure. Yeah! Even I get it right!" Esdeath lied. Best I don't tell them how many times I had to practice it in the mirror to get it right…
"You didn't get it right the last time…" Laura mumbled.
"Ouch." Laxus winced.
"That's a bummer." Chiaki grimaced.
"Ooooh… honey…" Esdeath groaned.
"Sooooo… where's the portal that leads us to the Realm of Dreams?" Ann asked.
"It should be around here somewhere." Elfilin said.
Palkia let out a cry, pointing toward the rift on top of the Observation Tower.
"Ah, there it is!" Elfilin said.
"Good. Now let's go take that soul do-" Suddenly, Chiaki got scooped up. "Wah!" She yelped as they turned to see Gorimondo holding her.
"Hey! Put my girl down right this-"
"Wait!" Meta Knight stopped Hajime as Gorimondo pulled her into a hug.
"O-oh!" Chiaki said in surprise.
"I believe he's apologizing for when he kidnapped her earlier." Penny said.
"She got kidnapped? She doesn't seem like the type of girl to get kidnapped." Bowser said, unaware of Hajime, Sonia and Gundham grimacing.
Chiaki smiled, patting him on the chest. "Apology accepted, big guy." She said as Gorimondo put it down and gently patted her on the head with his finger, causing her to giggle.
"Phew…" Hajime sighed in relief as Chiaki turned around.
"Alright, shall we?"
"Let's rock." Jade said as they went toward the tower, where the rift portal opened up as they were all sucked inside.

BGM: Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
"Okay… we're floating about endlessly in this… strange world!" Marx said.
"Uh… does anyone know how to… move?" Makoto asked.
"I'll get back to you when I figure out how to stop floating about endlessly." Carmen said.
"Poyo…"
Palkia unleashed Spacial Rend, opening up a few portals as Chiaki's X-Wing appeared next to her. "Sweet!" Chiaki's eyes sparkled.
"Ooooh!" Elfilin looked on in awe as Chiaki teleported herself, BB-8 and Elfilin inside.
They also heard a loud screech as Dyna Blade swooped in and landed on some debris. "Hail, giant phoenix! We could use your assistance!" Gilgamesh said as the Lor Starcutter also showed up.
Palkia let out a cry.
"These are our transports to get us through." Mewtwo translated as they either climbed aboard the Lor Starcutter or Dyna Blade. Hajime decided to "swim" over to Chiaki and climbed into the passenger seat.
"...I'm curious as to how she got a hold of an X-Wing." Strange said.
"Long story!" Chiaki said.
"Let's go." Kyoko said as they started to fly off.
"Wait… do you guys hear that?" Nyx asked.
"Boo? What's Boo?"
"...That's… what I decided to call her. Is there a problem?"
"Sulley, you're not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it! NOW PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM… OR SO HELP ME…!"
"Oh, son of a…" Strange groaned.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
"Wong told me about this…" He began. "Apparently, if you decide to go into the realm of dreams, there is a high probability you will encounter, as he calls it, a Pop Culture Migraine Experience or whatever he said."
"So we're gonna be hearing a lot of pop culture stuff?" Chiaki asked.
"Pretty much. Although, we should consider ourselves lucky."
"Why's that?" Umber asked.
"Because the last time Wong went inside one of these, he was forced to listen to "Let it Go" on repeat for at least an hour."
"...That's one way to overstay its welcome." Sonia grimaced.
"Come to negotiate, you slimy git? Look what I got! I got a jar of dirt~! I got a jar of dirt~! And guess what's inside it~!"
"Doom, doom, doom, aaaaaand doom."
"Doom! Jinx, now you owe me three sodas!"
"...Okay, doom for him too."
"What?! But… but I'm you!"
"Dooooooom!"
"Wow… if I had a nickel for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?"
"Toothless, we need her to like us! …Aaaand now he's spinning. Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile!"
"The message just repeats: Regret, Regret, Regret."
"Catchy. Any idea what it means?"
"Dear humanity: We regret being alien bastards. We REGRET coming to Earth! And we most definitely regret the corps just blew up our RAGGEDY ASS FLEET!"
"Ooo-rah!"
"DO YOU KNOW HIM!"
"Do you think I know every human being with a mustache wearing an identical outfit with a hat with a letter of his first name on it?! …Cause I don't!"
RIIIIP!
"AAAAAAAAAH!"
"That sounded like it hurt." Mercury grimaced.
"The Heartless obey me now, Sora. I have nothing to fear."
"...You're stupid!"
"I think Guzma could say it better." Umber chuckled.
"Dear Deadpool who got into the MCU before I did. FUCK YOU! I HOPE YOU GET RAN OVER BY A ZAMBONI! Much love, Death Battle Deadpool."
"...What?" Strange raised an eyebrow.
"Oh god, they're communicating with each other…" Makoto groaned.
"Dude. Hang… on. Do you realize where we are?"
"No?"
"Look around, man! The clean modern aesthetic, the cool blue color palette, we're in…"
"IKEA!"
"The Falcon Fury! …Did you say IKEA?"
"Nope. I said Falcon Fury. Just like you."
"Gregory, do you see that small vent on the floor? Have you heard of Among Us Gregory? You need to vent. I know it will be hard for you to be sus, but I know you can do it, Gregory."
"Uh… I think we just flew into meme territory." Chiaki said.
"I have something to ask of you: Flayn's got us trapped inside the McDonald's play place. We are currently in the bubble facing the dining area. Do you see us waving at you? Please get us out… we haven't eaten our order yet."
"There's our stop. Finally!" Ridley said as they landed on the ground.

BGM: Faded Dream of a Psychomeddler (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
"Aww… I was kinda enjoying those." Logue admitted.
BB-8 let out a few snarky chirps.
"They weren't that bad." Chiaki said.
"I don't see what the big deal is. I didn't get a migraine from that." Kyoko said.
"I think Wong was just annoyed…" Strange admitted.
"Guys? …Are we back to where we started?" Nyx asked, noticing they were at the area where they began their adventure.
"Hmm… it is called Forgo Dreams, right? What if it's a recreation of the memories who once lived here, or the memories of your experience through this place?" Kyoko pointed out.
"I was about to say that myself." Chiaki said.
"Oh good, for a second there, I thought I was completely drunk!" Demoman said.
"You're always drunk!" Scout said.
"Exactly!"
"Which means the enemies we see here are memories." Sonia said. "So, if we see any animal here, perhaps we ought to spare the-"
"Ha! I've got the whole Beast Pack at my command. These are just mere shells! We can dispose of their carcasses!"
"...Well, you heard the man!"
"That sounded very dark coming from you." Nick said.
"Nah, it sounded very in character for him." Chiaki snickered as they walked ahead.
"Hmm… that's strange." Penny said.
"What is it?" Meta Knight asked.
"I'm picking up on… some type of energy here. I'm not sure what it is."
"So am I."
BB-8 booped as well.
"All three of you? Wonder what that could mean?" Nyx asked.
"Who knows. But perhaps we'll find out when the time comes." Kyoko said as they walked through the forest, taking out any Mookie in the way until they made it out, seeing the ruined city in front of them where a purple sky was above them.
"That's peculiar…" Medic mused.
"I know, a purple sky? That's totally ominous." Michelangelo said.
"No, not zhat." Medic said. "I have a strange feeling zhat the procedure I gave to frauline Ruby started its side effect where she bellows like an elephant. Heh, zhat's what happens when I gave her zhose elephant hips."
"...I'm sorry. You gave what to who?" Strange asked while giving him a strange look.
"Ja! I totally did zhat!"
"...And you call yourself a doctor?"
"I'm a medical professional!"
"Without a license." Kyoko folded her arms.
Strange glared at Medic. "How old is this Ruby?"
"I'd zay… about sixteen, if memory serves."
"And you mutilated her?"
"Well, her clone made sure of zhat. Her hip needed replacing, so I stepped in and I gave her elephant hips! Shortened zhem, of course." He said. "...Of course, there came a few side effects."
"Enlighten us."
"Well, let's see… she will sound like an elephant whenever she's angry or excited, her legs are now powerful enough to shatter bone when she kicks someone… and, zhere is something that I didn't notice. I've been meaning to get around to tell her zhis."
"...And what's that?"
"Apparently zhe elephant DNA is counteracting heavily with zhe plant DNA on her arm. Zhe plant DNA extended her life. However, zhe elephant DNA counteracted with zhat and is… shall we say… making a mess of zhings. By extensive research… I'd say that Ruby has about… two years left to live."
"WHAT/POYO/HEATRAN?!" Everyone yelled, as even Ridley looked at Medic as if he lost his mind.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Bowser yelled. "You mean to tell me the little rose's life has been shortened immensely!"
"Apparently so!"
"Yo, Doc! That's low, even for you, man!" Scout said.
"It's a scientific breakthrough! Who knew!"
"...You know, if Mikan hears about this, I won't hold it against her if she actually kills you." Kyoko said.
"Neither will I…" Chiaki mumbled.
Strange pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's it. When we're done here. I am not going back to my world until I meet Ruby for myself and get her into the hospital where we will save her life."
"But… you're an ex surgeon." Morgana pointed out.
"For this moment? Not anymore." Strange looked to glare at Medic. "I hope you realize that your actions will lead you to prison."
"Nonsense!" Medic pulled out a card. "I got a Get Out of Jail free card. Never expires and it can never be destroyed! I made it myself too!"
"Of course you did." Strange grumbled.
Kyoko took the card. "Sir, this is from a Monopoly board game."
Medic took it back. "I had it laminated! And I took zhe liberty to Ubercharge it to where it can't be destroyed~ Totally redeemable!"
"...THAT IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL, YOU QUACK!" Soldier yelled.
Meanwhile, with Mikan…
"...Urge to kill Medic rising… and I have no idea why." Mikan said to herself.
Back with them…
"Even I think this is totally unethical. That's completely unreasonable!" Ridley said.
"Yeah, totally uncool!" Marx said.
You know it's horrific when even Ridley and Marx are saying it's bad… Futaba thought as they took out the Scarfies and Bernards in the area, climbing up the building as they took down some possessed Bernards until they made their way down to where they first encountered Car Mouth Kirby, and they were greeted with a wild Bonkers.
"Step aside, y'all. This one's mine!" Dedede said as he stepped forward as the two went into a hammer duel, only for Dedede to disarm Bonkers easily and then clobbered him, where he evaporated into nothing. "Victory!" He cheered, and then suddenly, fourteen orbs of light appeared in front of them.
"What's this?" Umber asked.
"These are what I've picked up on." Penny said. "Now that I'm getting a good look at them…" She and SAPR scanned it.
"Oh my! These are pieces of Leongar's soul!" SAPR said.
"That big ol' lion? …Come to think of it, we haven't seen him since that big ol' wall of slime…" Revali said.
"I was wondering if he was alright…" Mipha said.
"Well… let's get his soul back in order." Chiaki said, picking up the souls and putting them into a dimension pocket, right as a portal opened up as they went inside, where they would find themselves in a tunnel.
"Back in the tunnel…" Elfilin said as they walked through, where they were ambushed by Phantas and Spooksteps. Jade's eyes sparkled and quickly sucked them up as they walked ahead, going up on raising platforms although Ridley decided to fly over them and reluctantly shot down several Bronto Burts.
Ridley spotted some metal boxes and breathed plasma into them, but they were unaffected by him as he turned up the heat, but to no avail. "Come on…" Ridley growled, and then they were destroyed when Kirby, in Vending Mouth, destroyed the boxes to reveal seven pieces of Leongar's soul.
"...I weakened it for you." Ridley grumbled as Chiaki took them and put them away, then they walked through the corridor where they ended up in the third area.
"Oh, looks like it's back to rocks about to crush us." Makoto said.
"Nothin' we can't handle!" Ann smiled as they walked across while Mewtwo, Chiaki, Strange and Xena telekinetically stopped the boulders as they walked safely across until they climbed up and saw several boulders rolling toward them, where Bowser proceeded to punch a boulder to send it flying back into several boulders, the debris knocking down Foleys while Dante and Vergil cut through the stragglers, then they walked off as they crossed through the pathways while taking out a Balloon Meister.
The moment they started to walk down the hill, they felt the ground beneath them rumble as they turned to see the giant boulder approaching them. "I'm getting some Indiana Jones vibes here." Strange said.
"You want some more!" Makoto cracked her knuckles as she jumped over and Nuclear punched the boulder, unaware that this time, Bowser helped her by punching it with her, the two shattering the boulder as eight pieces lay in the debris of the boulder.
"You're welcome!" Bowser said.
"I handled it on my own last time." Makoto told him.
"Yeah, but you didn't have me with you. Therefore, it was less awesome!" Bowser pointed out.
"...You gotta admit, he's got you there." Kyoko said.
Makoto groaned. "Sure…" She mumbled while Chiaki stored the soul pieces away.
"Note to self: Punch a boulder!" Soldier said.
"Yeah, that'll work out well. Let's see where that gets ye!" Demoman said.
"I'll admit, that might be pretty entertainin'." Engi said as they walked down the hill as Soldier spotted a rock.
"Hiyah!" Soldier punched said boulder. "AAAAAAARGH!"
"I didn't think he'd do it right away. Heheheheh, stupid." Sniper chuckled as he walked off as Mipha healed him up.
"There you go."
"Thanks, Swamp Monster!" Soldier walked away.
"...Swamp Monster?" Mipha quietly mouthed. "It's Mipha…" She said quietly as a rift portal opened up as they went inside it, and found themselves at the mall.
"Ooooh, the mall!" Magnolia's eyes sparkled. "...Oh, wait, it's all a dream." She pouted.
"There there." Laura patted her on the back as they walked through, dodging Twirling Star Rockets while walking through the moving sidewalks.
"I don't remember this in the mall!" Chiaki said.
"Probably a new attraction." Iris guessed as they kept going, dodging Bronto Burts and Bernards along the way until they reached the end where Umber had enough and threw a Waterga at the last Twirling Star Rocket, which exploded and made nine pieces of Leongar's soul appear.
"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Donatello asked.
"Well… I didn't think it'd get that annoying." Umber chuckled as Chiaki stored the souls away and went through the door… and found themselves in a completely different area.
"Okay… this is new." Chiaki said.
"A narrow crumbling pathway… that ought to be fun." Akechi said.
Esdeath created ice platforms underneath the crumbling blocks. "There we go." She said as they safely walked across as Esdeath took the lead and wiped out the enemies before her as she continued to make ice platforms for them to get across safely as she saw a possessed Orabiroo at the top of one rooftop and destroyed it, which resulted in seven pieces of Leongar's soul.
"I believe this is for you." Esdeath said, handing Chiaki the soul pieces as she stored them away as they went into a rift portal and ended up just outside of Gorimondo's arena.
"Looks like we're gonna have to fight a phantom version of him." Penny said. "And I have a feeling most of us are going to be closed off from this fight, so we'll have to pick our battles wisely."
"I don't know about you, but I'm goin' in!" Bowser said.
"Yes, he seems perfect for you to tussle around. Although I would find it amusing if he threw you around." Kyoko said.
"Oh, ye of little faith, Kiri!" Bowser smirked.
"I'll grab the popcorn." Dedede said.
"I'll join ya!" Marx said.
Bowser immediately jumped into the ring as Kirby, Chiaki, Carmen, Gilgamesh, Sonia, Laxus and Meta Knight jumped in, and just as Penny predicted, a barrier popped up.
Phantom Gorimondo turned around to glare at them, before letting out a gigantic roar and pounded his chest.

Strong Armed Illusion - Phantom Gorimondo
Phantom Gorimondo jumped into the air and slammed into the ground to create a massive shockwave, forcing them to get out of the way as Meta Knight swooped in and slashed Phantom Gorimondo away, using Mach Tornado to send him back further.
Phantom Gorimondo spun around to create tornadoes, where said tornadoes picked up boulders and flung them around as Bowser punched through them as he then got into his shell and lunged at him, smacking him in the face as Phantom Gorimondo backhanded the Koopa King away right as Chiaki's eyes went red and unleashed chaotic energy blasts into him.
Carmen shadow stepped toward Phantom Gorimondo and swung her scythe into him as Gilgamesh slashed him with his swords, only for Phantom Gorimondo to grab the latter and growled at him, but then Carmen slashed his wrist to free up Gilgamesh.
"Shy Guy Squad! Sound off!" Bowser ordered as the Shy Guy Squad appeared and got into position, pushing Bowser into the slingshot.
"Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!" The Shy Guys chanted before letting go, as Bowser sling shotted into his face to knock him back and then launched into the air, dive bombing into Phantom Gorimondo's head to knock him to the ground as Bowser then picked him up by the ankle and threw him into a wall where he breathed fire right after.
"I think he's having way too much fun." Chiaki said.
"I mean, if you were the King of Awesome, wouldn't you let off some steam?" Sonia smiled.
"Good point!" Chiaki smiled as Sonia aimed and fired a rocket launcher into Phantom Gorimondo, however he got up and backhanded the rocket away, where it exploded into a window, only for Laxus to zip through and punched him in the face and threw down lightning bolts at him.
Phantom Gorimondo pounded his chest, punching the ground to create several shockwaves and then unleashed a powerful clap that blew everyone away. Bowser got back up as Phantom Gorimondo spun, unleashing more tornadoes that shot out lightning as Bowser went into his shell and charged up as Chiaki summoned the Gravity Hammer and then swung it into Bowser as he shot through and smacked Phantom Gorimondo upside the head to knock the giant gorilla down.
"Hold him down! I'll finish him off!" Sonia said as Bowser jumped up on his chest and together with Laxus, they proceeded to punch Gorimondo on the head as Kirby joined in and Hammer Flipped him on the gut while Sonia got on one knee, smirking as a dark power enveloped her once more.
She skipped on over to Gorimondo as Chiaki immediately saw what she was doing. "Oh no… guys, you might want to get out of the way!" She called out as the trio turned and then got off as Sonia walked on top of the Phantom.
"You'll make a great sacrifice~" She smiled, quickly slashing Phantom Gorimondo's chest to create a pentagram. Once she finished, she clapped her hands as dark energy came out of the pentagram and started burning the phantom, causing it to roar in agony until he turned into purple energy, bursting into flames as Sonia stabbed him in the head to finish him off, where the energy then went inside of her sword and into her body, smiling before she went back to normal.

"...Well, there's something you don't see every day." Strange mused.
"Was… was that your Mori?" Chiaki asked nervously.
"It was~!" Sonia smiled.
Chiaki sweatdropped. "Girl, sometimes I worry about you…"
"Everything's fine, Chiaki." Sonia reassured and walked off with a hum as Chiaki collected the last remaining soul pieces in the world, along with a Rare Stone.
"Okay, so many is that?" Elfilin asked.
"A grand total of fifty." Penny said. "I'm not detecting anything else from this world."
"We're free to move!" SAPR said as their rides showed up thanks to Palkia as they flew off to the next world.

"Hey guys, look! It's the real Buzz Lightyear!"
"I was afraid of that…" Ryuji sighed.
"You're mocking me, aren't you?"
"Oh no no no no no- BUZZ, LOOK, AN ALIEN!"
"WHERE?!"
"I don't see this as a bad thing." Chiaki said. "You get used to it."
"Are you okay, Patrick?"
"FINLAND!"
"Potter, do something! Tell them I mean no harm!"
"I'm sorry, professor. I must not tell lies."
Suddenly, a portal opened up near them as Dyna Blade felt someone land on her, causing her to screech in surprise.
"Whew! Thanks for the ride!"
Hajime looked outside of the X-Wing. "Uh… guys? You got a bogey on Dyna Blade's tail! …Wait a second, is that Deadpool?!"
"Huh? Uh oh…" Chiaki whispered.
Dante turned his head. "Yo, Wade!"
"Dante, my man!" Deadpool waved.
"...Deadpool." Vergil greeted.
"Lo'real." Deadpool greeted.
"You gotta be kidding me… HABERKORN!"
"Mmm mmm… I prefer to be called by his majesty, TODD *bleep*'IN' HABERKORN!"
Deadpool looked at a bewildered Strange. "Hey Strange, how ya doin'! I see that erasing everyone's knowledge of Spider-Man is working out great for you."
"I'm sorry, who are you?"
"Oh, that's right. I forgot. My third movie hasn't come out yet and we haven't teamed up to stop the time traveler yet. All you need to know is that we'll meet in the future!"
"...That sounds like a migraine waiting to happen." Strange groaned.
"Soooo! I see we're going through another Pop Culture Migraine Tunnel!"
"Another?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, I was in a space time hole with Ruby and the group on their way to Hisui! They didn't mind the company." Deadpool explained.
"...And suddenly, I feel bad for them." Chiaki said.
"Sooooo! Chiaki, was it? What's this I heard a few stories ago that someone named Ibuki wants to be best friends with yours truly?"
"I didn't say that! You're just imagining things!" Chiaki exclaimed.
"Hmm, that would be pretty entertaining, not gonna lie." Sonia said.
"Indeed." Gundham nodded.
"Don't deny it, gamer girl!" Deadpool pulled up his phone. "I read Galaxy 2! I know a fourth wall breaking best friend when I see one!"
Hajime sweatdropped. "Are we doomed?"
"I think Hiyoko's gonna need a lot of aspirin…" Chiaki said.
"So… how exactly did you end up here?" Laura asked.
"Oh, that? Went through several timelines with Cable, went through several universes, said hi to a bounty hunting Chell where she destroyed my liver, wound up in an alternate universe where I met a version of myself where I'm part of a family with a blue haired gal named Sabrina… let me tell ya, if that ain't a Gaiden soon, I'm gonna be disappointed." Aaaaand possibly hold the author at gunpoint.
(...Wait, what?)
"Wait wait wait, can we rewind the part where you said you encountered a bounty hunting Chell?" Chiaki asked.
"I DID MY WAITING! TWELVE YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!"
"Oh yeah, there's an alternate universe out there where instead of Samus being a bounty hunter, it's Chell! …Girl did not like my flirting. She seriously needs to get out more than just cuddling with Pikachu."
"I… see." Chiaki sweatdropped.
"Aaaaanywho, long story short, Cable and I went between dimensions and I got caught in a portal and… lo and behold, here I am!" Deadpool said. "Soooo, I'm sticking around for a while!"
"That little girl is a child! I don't want to see you sniffing around her any more this afternoon! Do you understand?"
"Yes, si-"

"Let's rock and roll!" Deadpool declared as he lunged ahead and cut through some Gnawcodiles and Blippers.
"...He's a handful, isn't he?" Albedo asked.
"Why do I have this feeling we're going to have to babysit him?" Strange asked.
"I dunno, he seems pretty fun!" Michelangelo said.
"I was about to say that." Umber chuckled with JINXY nodding.
"Hey, at least he's on our side, so that counts for something!" Futaba said.
"Indeed." Akira nodded as they walked through.
"Hmm…" Chiaki teleported over to Shadow. "Hey, Shadow… I have a question for ya."
"Hmm?"
"So um, that thing with Logue earlier. Does she… remind you of Maria?"
"Honestly, if you take a closer look at her, she kind of looks like her." Shadow said as Chiaki looked over to Logue who was chatting it up with Laura and Esdeath..
Chiaki's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh… I can see that."
"Indeed." Shadow nodded. "I took it upon myself to save her… a second chance of saving someone and-" Chiaki hugged him. "...What are you doing?"
"You needed one." She said softly before walking away with a smile.
Shadow chuckled. "Honestly, I think I did."
As they reached the end of the beach, a Wild Edge appeared in front of Deadpool and Dante, the two of them looked at each other before they took out their swords and proceeded to cut through the Wild Edge, destroying it and left behind nine pieces of Leongar's soul where Chiaki stored it safely, then they went into a rift.
They popped out at Concrete Isles where they started to swim around, although Ridley and Strange decided to fly/levitate over the water as everyone took care of the enemies while Deadpool shot up a target, where a Rare Stone landed in his hand.
"Cool, I win!" Deadpool grinned as they walked/swam/floated/flew over the water as Kirby sucked up a Bernard and shot up a Balloon-Meister and then shot up a target to have a crane raise a platform up in the water as Chiaki went over and opened up a chest, pulling out eight pieces of soul as she stored it away, then they walked through a rift and found themselves at a tower where boulders started to fall.
"Another boulder segment?" Xena asked.
"And there's no sign warning us about this!" Deadpool said as he proceeded to shove a sign into the ground.
"Warning: Watch for falling rock!"
"There we go!"
"That's only applicable to driving." Strange said.
"Ahem!" Deadpool pointed to the boulders. "You wanna tell that to the never ending supply of boulders? I'm sure they'd be happy to listen to you, Stephen!"
Strange rolled his eyes with a small growl escaping his lips as they moved up the tower, where Bowser punched a few boulders while Xena, Mewtwo, Strange and Chiaki stopped some of the boulders from falling on them as they made their way to the top, finding eight pieces of soul sitting there as Chiaki took them and stored them away, then they went into the rift.
"...Interesting, it now took us to a current pushing us toward our destination." Kyoko said.
"And I forgot to bring my surfboard. Typical!" Deadpool shook his head.
"Shouldn't be that bad." Laura said.
"Hold up a moment!" Deadpool dove into the water and then, to Strange and Esdeath's bewilderment, he fought against the current and tied up a boat near them. "There, now you can safely go with the current and-" The water whisked him away. "NOT DROOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!"
"Should we…?" Esdeath asked.
"He'll be fine. He never dies." Ann said.
"...What?"
"Yeah, it's his thing." Chiaki said. "You can take off his head and he'll still blab his mouth."
"IT'S TRUUUUUUE-blub blub blub blub!"
"Sounds just like me!" Ridley smirked. "I like him already!"
"A never ending nightmare that never dies. Great." Strange grumbled as the kids got on the boat as Laura cut the rope and set off while everyone else hopped into the water, where it pushed them across as they witnessed Deadpool getting sucked into the whirlpool while Xena teleported everyone else to safety.
"...Is he seriously going to be okay?" Xena asked.
"It's Deadpool." The Phantom Thieves and Ultimates said, causing Xena to sweatdrop.
"Ooookay then."
"Is he normally an idiot?" Bowser asked.
"He has his moments. Kinda like you." Kyoko said as she casually walked off.
"That's what I thou-... hey!" Bowser gave her a playful glare as Kyoko had a proud smirk on her face as they walked into the beach where Chiaki found nine pieces of soul as she stored them away and then walked into a rift… where they would end up in a spot where the wind harshly pushed them.
"This is… totally unexpected!" Chiaki exclaimed.
"Waaaaaaah! I'm getting pushed AWAAAAAAAY!" Elfilin cried as he was blown away as was Kirby. In fact, most of the Star Allies was blown away.
Meanwhile, at the end…
"Tum tum te tum~" A purple cat hummed as he was fishing. "Oh! I got a bite." He said, reeling it in and fishing out Deadpool. "Oh? I've caught a masked fish."
"Do I look like a fish to you, furball!" Deadpool asked as he unhooked himself and shook it off. "Hoo, I do not recommend whirlpool diving!" He said as the purple cat then fished up Elfilin, Kirby and the Star Allies.
"Look Froggy, I caught some more odd looking fish!"
"Poyo…" Kirby said as he spat out water.
"With all due respect, I'm not a fish…" Taranza said.
"Ugh…" Elfilin shook the water off, where he appeared flufflier. "Oh!"
Soon, everyone was pushed into the water and fished out by the purple cat. "Ugh… Big? What are you doing here?" Shadow asked.
"Oh. I went to my normal fishing spot with Froggy. I sat down and I found myself in this weird fishing hole. Not that I mind, I do love fishing." He said, getting a bite and pulling out Heatran.
"Heatran…" Heatran groaned, shaking off the water.
"Soooo… you're stuck here? You don't want a ride home?" Chiaki asked.
"No thank you. I'll find my way back home on my own." He said, unaware of Logue hugging him.
"...If you insist." Mewtwo said, as Big fished up a bag right after as he opened it up to reveal nine pieces of soul.
"Shiny fish…" He mused as Chiaki stored them away and then they walked off, leaving Big and Froggy alone.
"I'm not even going to ask how he got there." Nyx said.
"He always winds up in the oddest places. I thought Sonic was exaggerating, but after seeing him here? That checks out." Shadow said.
"He was kinda cute and fluffy! Like a big soft teddy bear…" Logue said.
"He does look the part." Sonia admitted as they went through the rift, and wound up at a new arena where they saw a Phantom Tropic Woods ahead of them.
"...Really? A Phantom palm tree?" Strange asked.
"You act like you've never seen one before and it shows." Deadpool said, hearing an annoyed groan from Strange.
"I'm starting to like this masked guy." SAPR whispered as Penny nodded with a smile.
"Same here!" She said.
"I do attract fans left and right…" Deadpool chuckled as Mercury, Zapple, Hazel, Chiaki, Hajime, Kirby, Haru, and Makoto stepped into the ring.

Phantom Tropic Woods awakened, glaring at them all and roared.

Illusory Fronds - Phantom Tropic Woo-
BOOM!
*Record Scratch*
Before Phantom Tropic Woods could do anything, everyone went in and beat the snot out of him until he was down for the count, disappearing and leaving behind five soul pieces.
"Ouch." Umber grimaced. "Poor guy didn't even finish his boss title."
"Eh, it's a Whispy Woods clone. What are you gonna do?" Deadpool shrugged.
"I wonder if we hit him a little too hard…" Chiaki said.
"Maybe?" Haru shrugged as Chiaki took the pieces.
"How many do we have now?" Chiaki asked.
"Ninety eight." SAPR said as they called up their rides and took off to the next area.

"Three, two, one…" Leonardo cued.
"What are you talking about?"
"Hmm?"
"YOU ARE ELASTIGIRL! My god… PULL! YOURSELF! TOGETHER!"
"Okay, there's no way out. There's gotta be a way out!"
"Look, here's something! "Es-ca-pay!" I wonder what that means, it's funny… it's spelled just like the word "Escape"."
"Let's go!"
"Ah!"
"HEEEEERE'S BRUCE-Y~!"
"I'm getting nostalgic just hearing these lines…" Chiaki said.
"Same here, girlfriend!" Ann grinned.
"Okay. Are you familiar with the gear shift?"
"You mean… the prindle?"
"...The what?"
"The prindle!"
"...Are you referring to the lever that says P-R-N-D-L?"
"I'm not a child, Moseby. I know how to spell Prindle!"
"It is not something you spell. It is a gear shift. The letters stand for PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE AND LOW!"
"You're making me nervous with all this technical talk!"
"Oooooh, I'm sorry! Why don't we just relax, turn on the radio! WOULD YOU LIKE AM OR FMMMM?"
"Finally, I got all the Chaos Emeralds."
"...Is that me?" Shadow asked.
"I made you… and this is how you repay me?"
"I am Shadow Android, the ULTIMATE life form… a copy of Shadow the Hedgehog. With the power of these Emeralds, I will be stronger than him! THIS IS WHO I AM!"
"What?!"
"Good bye, doctor."
"Nooooooooo…"
"What. the. HELL?" Shadow asked, completely disturbed over what he was hearing.
"Oh, don't worry about it, buddy boy! That's completely non canon!" Deadpool said. "Maybe in an alternate universe, but not here."
"I sure as hell hope not…"
"Name something a burglar would not want to see when he breaks into a house."
Riiiing!
"Rod!"
"NAKED GRANDMA!"
"Nake- HUH?"
"...I don't want to see that either." Laxus said.
"Oh Oum, I did not need that imagery!" Mercury shuddered.
"I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that." Zapple said.
"There's our stop! …Thank goodness." Strange said as they landed in Forgo Park.

BGM: Love to Wonderland (Persona 5 Strikers)
"Back to this place, huh?" Scout chuckled.
"Well… I'm sure things will be different." Chiaki said as they walked ahead, where some Twirling Star Rockets spun around, only for Umber to destroy them with Waterga as they walked along… only to see an army of Runaway Parade Floats.
"My arch nemesis returns!" Soldier said. "I thought I destroyed you all!" He proceeded to shoot them with his rockets.
"I know a faster way!" Deadpool said as he pulled out a stop sign, proceeded to wear a police uniform and blew into a whistle. "TRAFFIC STOP!" He yelled… only to get ran over. "ARGH! OW! OOOF! YOW! AAARGH! I'M OKAY! OOOOOOOW!"
"Good look for him." Strange said as they walked across.
"At least-OW-I'm-OOOOOW-slowing them-YOW!-down for you!" Deadpool said.
"Yes, I'm honored." Ridley said as he, robot sisters and the Gensokyo gals flew overhead while Heatran got in the way of a parade car… and said parade car wrecked as it hit him.
"Heat?" Heatran looked to his side before shrugging it off as they continued on while the parade cars wrecked themselves.
"Phew!" Deadpool shook it off, having tire marks all over him. "Mission accomplished!" He said as he turned around. "Wait for me!" He went after them.
Chiaki opened up a gate that contained twelve soul pieces as she stored them, then they went through a doorway where they were greeted by a Wild Frosty. However, the Wild Frosty melted when Pyro, Heatran, Bowser and Ridley destroyed him.
"Poor guy didn't stand a chance." Kasen said.
"Like that phantom palm tree?" Reimu chuckled.
'These phantoms aren't much of a fight." Mamizou said as Chiaki put away seven more pieces and then went into the next area, where they found themselves back in the House of Horrors.
"Mmmph!" Makoto froze up where Jade's eyes sparkled and pulled out her Poltergust as Kirby swallowed up a light bulb to to become Light Bulb Mouth and lit the way forward.
"Are you scared?" Ridley asked.
"M-M-M-M-Me? Of course not!" Makoto lied.
"Interesting…" Ridley smirked as he disappeared into the darkness.
Deadpool pulled out a flashlight. "Ooooh no, we are not going to do a Five Nights at Ridley's! Now where are you!" He said, as he lit the way forward… only for the light to burn out. "Gah! I knew I should've switched those batteries…"
Once they reached the end of the dark maze, Makoto saw the door. "Finally! I'm out of here!" She said as she walked forward… only for Ridley to slam into the ground and roared in her face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She screamed as she jumped into Akira's arms and shook like a lead while everyone gave him an annoyed look.
"Oh come on, at least let me have this!" Ridley said. "...By the way, found these souls that you might want." He said, handing Chiaki eleven pieces.
"I'll take that." Chiaki said, storing them away as they walked off while Makoto continued to whimper.
"Poor girl… that was uncool." Ann said as they walked through while Ridley let out a proud chuckle.
"And this is why I'm glad he's Samus's maid." Dedede said.
"Rrrrgh… yes, I know." Ridley grumbled as they walked through the Wondaria Dream Parade, proceeding to traverse through the mud while Kirby sucked up a Chilly to ice skate through the mud as they made their way toward the end, dodging Gordo Bars along the way while Heatran stepped forward and wrecked several Parade cars with his body.
"Doesn't that hurt you?" Mewtwo asked.
"Heat Heat."
"I thought so." He chuckled.
"He doesn't seem to mind?" Strange asked.
"Nope."
"Ah, here they are!" Chiaki said, pulling up eight pieces of Leongar's soul as they went into the next area.

"...What in the world? What is this place?" Ryuji asked.
"According to my data base. We seem to be in a maze of some kind." SAPR said.
"M-Maze…?!" Chiaki whimpered, freezing in place.
"What's with her?" Raphael asked.
"She's been through a death maze at one point that killed her. Though a universal reset brought her back… let's just say a clown friend of ours exploited her fear and tried to get her to go through with it." Sonia explained.
"Luckily, I was the one to clown on him." Kyoko said.
"Oh my!" Elfilin said, immediately flying behind Chiaki and rubbing her shoulders. "There we are… deep breaths, girl."
Chiaki closed her eyes. "It's not a death maze, it's not a death maze, it's not a death maze, it's not a death maze…" She said to herself, clenching her fists… before a gentle hand took her hand as she looked up to see Hajime holding her.
"I got ya." He smiled.
"Afraid of mazes… most peculiar…" Medic said.
Note to self, don't put her into a corn maze. Jack thought as they walked through, Hajime guiding Chiaki forward as Bowser broke apart the aliens that popped out until they found the soul pieces.
"I'll take those." Strange said as they went through a rift portal.
"Aaaand we're out." Hajime said softly.
"We are? Oh thank goodness…" Chiaki sighed in relief and put her hands on her knees. "Okay… phew, I'm gonna need a moment, you guys take on that phantom…"
"Would you like a massage chair or do you want a jacuzzi?" Deadpool asked, having said items near him. "Or do you want a massage chair with a jacuzzi installed that will give your feet an ultimate massage of a life time!"
"...Where did you…?" Strange wondered as Chiaki sat down on the third option, then Deadpool set up a table with snacks and drinks next to her.
"I'm not sure what kind of drink you're into. Soda, wine, milk, water… I got it all!" He said as Kirby hopped up and sat on her lap with BB-8 and Elfilin accompanying her with Sonia, Hajime and Gundham not leaving her side either.
Umber, JINXY, Mipha and Revali walked into the ring, staring down at Phantom Clawroline, all of them ready to throw down… when suddenly, a plasma lightning bolt struck Phantom Clawroline and destroyed her instantly.
"Huh?" Jade wondered as suddenly, they saw a Phantom version of Umber step through.
"Umber?!" Xena exclaimed in surprise, loud enough to catch Esdeath's attention.
"Huh? A phantom version of him?" Esdeath wondered.
Phantom Umber said nothing, but summoned a phantom Keyblade with a smirk as Umber did the same.
"Alright, I guess we're doing this now!"
BGM: True Arena Battle [Triple Deluxe] (Super Kirby Clash)
False Light - Phantom Umber
Both Umbers lunged at each other, clashing with their blades as Phantom Umber parried him and then used Thunder Raid at him, knocking him back as Xena threw psychic energy waves at him, where Yagami came out of her.
"At least we know who's who!" Yagami said, throwing telekinetic energy bolts into him as he took a step back before conjuring up mirrors to try and hit Yagami, while Nyx and Revali fired arrows into him.
Phantom Umber backflipped, using Blizzara as Umber responded with Fira, both magic spells cancelling each other out as Mipha torpedoed her way forward with her water and swung her trident into Phantom Umber, throwing water missiles at him as he blocked most of them as Iris flanked him and slashed him away.
"I think this is what I could've been if Meta Knight didn't save me!" Umber said.
"Yeah, I gathered!" Xena said, summoning telekinetic bombs and throwing them at Phantom Umber as he slashed through them where they exploded behind him as he lunged at Xena, where she pulled out her sword and blocked, swiftly countering him as Umber slashed him from behind to kick him away.
Phantom Umber threw plasma bolts into Jade, but she aimed her Poltergust and sucked them in, proceeding to shoot them back out and knocked him back as Yagami teleported behind him and telekientically punched him in the back. He responded with a counter slash but she disappeared as Umber slashed him to the side as he turned around as both of them used Thunder Raid, both of their Keyblades hitting each other and returning to them, then Revali shot down several bomb arrows that that sent him flying as Umber lunged forward and combo slashed him before sending him away.
End BGM
Phantom Umber growled as he was on one knee, but then got back up as he disappeared into the shadows, where in his place was a Phantom Ansem Seeker of Darkness. "Huh?!" Xena asked in surprise.
BGM: Revenge of Chaos (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories)
Empty Shell - Phantom Ansem - Seeker of Darkness
"Oh sure, he looked into my memories and saw me revisiting Ansem in the data realm…"
"You revisited him?" Nyx asked.
"Every so often, I go back and fight Ansem. We're like fifty/fifty at this point!"
"That sounds about right." Yagami said as Ansem threw out dark fireballs at them, where they avoided the attacks as Ansem snapped his fingers as darkness wrapped around Xena.
She instinctively teleported out as dark claws came out to try and impale her, but missed as Xena threw telekinetic waves of energy into him as Umber whipped around Ansem and slashed him around while also using Blizzara.
"You think I can't do it too? You taught me a few things!" He said, putting his hand on the ground as a wave of plasma and glass darted toward Ansem and then with a smirk, claws of plasma and glass came out and impaled Ansem, then Nyx fired a few Shock Arrows into him while Iris fired a few fireballs from her gunblade.
"Embrace the dark!" Phantom Ansem declared, firing lasers from above that Revali flew over and fired Ice Arrows into him while Nyx put up turrets that shot at him where Umber shot plasma bolts at him.
Phantom Ansem smirked, snapping his fingers as they were enveloped by darkness, where dark plasma orbs surrounded him and then fired lasers into them, forcing them to dodge… only for the lasers to strike them as Mipha spun her staff and shot a wave of water into him. He responded by throwing his magic eight balls of darkness into them.
"What the…. Magic eight balls?!" Iris asked, blocking a few of them.
"Yeah, he's a bit wild with them!" Umber said.
"A bit?!" Jade asked as she sucked some in and spat them back out at Ansem.
"I think your "friend's" a bit unstable!" Revali said, hitting him with a Bomb Arrow.
"Eh, he's not perfect!" Umber shrugged, dodging the darkness as he quickly slashed at him to interrupt him and then punched him in the face with a plasma punch to knock Ansem back, then he surrounded himself in a laser shield and moved toward Umber, only for Xena to levitate above him as Xena dropped a telekinetic bomb into him, interrupting the lasers as Umber slashed him away.
"AAAARGH!" Ansem cried as he disappeared in the void… and was replaced by Phantom Umber who was on both knees, growling at them.
"I'll make this quick." Umber said as Phantom Umber staggered and lunged at Umber.
"PLASMA BLITZ!" He yelled, catching Dante and Vergil's attention as Umber swiftly moved around the arena, zipping around like a lightning bolt and struck his phantom self multiple times as he left behind static lines as he Blitz'd him into the air, jumping up and slashing him down into the ground where he fell into a static line of a square that blew up, evaporating Phantom Umber and left behind five pieces of Leongar's soul.
End BGM
"That makes a hundred and forty nine!" Penny grinned as Umber took the souls.
"Did you learn that from those two?" Xena asked in awe.
"Sure did. I also learned something else from 'em. I'll show that off later." He said as he walked over to Chiaki, who had just got up and feeling a lot better. "How do you feel?"
"Better." Chiaki nodded, taking the souls and storing them away.
"Way to go, kiddo! We knew you had it in you!" Dante praised.
"It was satisfactory." Vergil said.
Dante nodded. "Not bad, kid." He said. "Now then, let's go and-"
"Poyo."
Strange looked down toward Kirby. "Yes? What is it?" He asked… where Kirby decided to suck him up, and then spat him out, gaining his goatee and magic cape. "WHAT IN THE HELL?!" He yelled.
"Hey, look at that. We have two masters of the mystic arts!" Deadpool said.
"I think he was just curious on what kind of copy ability he'd get if he swallowed you up." Chiaki said as Kirby used the runes that appeared in his hands, where he was playing with them.
"Poyo poyo~!"
"Oh, look, it's pretty!" Haru smiled.
"You going to be okay?" Dante asked.
"No! I saw complete darkness, like it felt like I was in a never ending void of eternal damnation!"
"Yeah, he's okay!" Dante chuckled. "You get used to it."
"USED TO THAT?!"
However, not everyone was laughing as Esdeath folded her arms, deeply troubled by something. "Something wrong?" Laura asked.
"Yes… if there was a Phantom version of Umber… who's to say we won't find a phantom version of me… or…" She looked at Xena and Yagami who were giggling at Kirby's antics. "...The twins?"
Ibuki: Dun dun duuuuun!
...Why do I feel like Deadpool just threatened me?
Ibuki: Eh, you'll be fine!
