Kafka gently placed Stelle on the ground, smiling to herself. Behind her, Silver Wolf rolled her eyes. In her opinion, Kafka had talked to the girl for far too long. Nearly all of the words that came out of her mouth amounted to "you don't remember anything except me, lol."

Kafka pushed herself up and dusted off her leggings. She glanced at Silver Wolf and asked with that distant, dead smile of hers, "I think it's about time we made our leave, no?" Silver Wolf nodded, and started typing into a device on her arms, opening a digital portal that leads to who knows where.

However, just as Kafka was about to enter through the portal, multiple alerts popped up on Silver Wolf's device. The scarlet-haired woman looked back in confusion as Silver Wolf typed away with narrowed eyes. After a while, her eyes widened with curiosity and surprise. "That's not part of the script…" Silver Wolf muttered. "Here, take a look."

A video file popped up on Kafka's phone, which she opened. In addition to the Antimatter Legion, multiple interdimensional rifts in the shape of stars appeared, surrounding the space station. Spherical monsters made out of some sort of cosmic energy started flying out of the portals, and they started fighting against the Antimatter Legion.

Kafka's eyes widened as a star rift opened in front of her, spitting out a green, egg shaped thing at her feet. She quickly drew her sword and slashed downwards, slicing the monster in half. Silver Wolf typed away on her device. Kafka eyed her curiously when it took more than a few seconds, and quirked an eyebrow as Silver Wolf started hissing in pain.

"Can you close more of those rifts?" Kafka asked. To her surprise, Silver Wolf shook her head.

"There's too many of them. If they start closing them, somebody might get suspicious. Also…" Silver Wolf pried off the device on her wrist, and tossed it to Kafka. Even through her gloves, she could feel the heat radiating from it. "If I were to close more, my systems overheat so much, I'm pretty sure they'd melt right off." Kafka hummed in response. She handed the device back to Silver Wolf and walked through the portal.

"We're not going to do anything?" Silver Wolf asked; Kafka shook her head.

"If it's not part of the script, then it likely won't have any major effect on her," Kafka said dismissively, nodding towards the Receptacle. "We'll ask Elio about it later, if you're so worried." Silver Wolf eyed her curiously. Without saying anything else, she walked through her portal alongside Kafka.

Outside the space station, another star-shaped rift tore through the fabric of reality. But instead of another swarm of Darpas, Dippas, and Dupas, a white sailboat with star designs on its mast and emblem. Multiple robots from the Antimatter Legion noticed the star ship lazily flying towards the space station, and flew forward to attack. However, the starship's oars suddenly flew out, skewering through their frail bodies. As the oars returned to their original spots, somebody could be heard laughing inside the starship's bridge.

"My, my! Well, this station sure seems to be in quite the pickle!" The voice spoke. The voice belonged to a person wearing blue robes and baggy white pants, alongside yellow gloves, brown boots and a long white cape. They also wore a large blue hood with protrusion resembling cat ears, secured with a blue belt with a silver buckle, that covered the entirety of his face in shadows except for his yellow glowing eyes.

"They may be struggling now, but not for long! The master magician, the greatest manager of amusement parks across the galaxy, MAGOLOR has come to their aid!" The self-proclaimed master magician exclaimed. As he did so, he nearly tripped, his legs wobbling from side to side until he managed to support himself by placing his hand on the Lor Starcutter.

"Woof! Legs are weird. Honestly, I have no idea how Adeleine use these things! Why walk when you can float indefinitely!" Magolor grumbled. The console started beeping, and lines of binary code started appearing on the main screen. "Yeah, yeah, I know that this will be a planet hopping adventure, and it'll keep us from having to explain how we're from another dimension and blah-blah-blah blah-blah, but still! I don't want to use legs!" The main screen started displaying code again, but after a while, that code was deleted and replaced by a string of English text. At, least, he assumed it was English, since he could read it without issue.

"Hmm…? A transmission from the Space Station? And they want to know why we're here before they open fire, hmmm?" Magolor reads. He thinks about it for a moment, and turns around to look at the station. "Well, first tell them that they obviously don't have any weapons, otherwise they would've rid of Deppas and Dippas already," The wizard sassed. "Remove any mention of Another Dimension monsters, and replace them with generic descriptors. Also, mention that we just… happened to be in the area, and that we are willing to help out with the monster infestation. All we'll need is someplace to dock, and the locations of the most infested areas."

The Lor Starcutter sent the transmission. As they waited for a response, the starship started flying closer to the space station, firing out stars and spheres of energy at incoming monsters, destroying them utterly. After a couple of minutes, the space station sent another transmission, which Magolor quickly read.

"Alright… Supply Zone - Docking Bay 14 it is. Send those coordinates to Susie back in our home dimension. Have her send… Now, how quickly do we want to resolve this issue? Clearing it too fast might make them paranoid of our strength, but doing it too slowly might make them think that we're not capable of handling ourselves… Oh, who cares what they think! Tell Susie to send Kirby over here! Don't want anybody important dying a horrible death!" Magolor said with a laugh. At his words, the Lor surged forwards, forming a shield around itself and flying straight towards Docking Bay 14, ramming into any and all monsters that got in its way.

"Hmph. You think that a space station this size, and with a massive energy signature inside, would have better defenses…" Magolor comments, watching the large research station being swarmed by Legionnaire's and monsters from Another Dimension alike. "I wonder what'll happen if an asteroid smashes right through?" Before the Lor could respond, the entire starship shuddered and lurched to the side. Multiple alerts popped on the screen, and Magolor let a frustrated cry.

"Whaddya mean something broke the shields!?" Magolor shouted. Another resounding crash caused the Lor to lurch again, sending the wizard crashing into the side of the ship. "Well, at the very least, I'll get some target practice in…!" He muttered to himself.

The entrance to the Lor opened, and Magolor floated out and landed on the Starcutter's deck. "Now where are those… Oh! There they are!" He said, heavily lacing his voice with sarcasm. As he did, three monsters from this dimension landed on the deck; A purple, armed centaur thing and two humanoids with the same color scheme, one hand blades attached to its arms, and the other carried a large cannon. Magolor started chuckling.

"Hu hu hu… Well then, if you're that eager…!" Magolor said, his hands sparked with a magical energy. The Legionnaire's flinched slightly as the wizard's eyes began glowing vibrantly. "Let's see how much punishment you can take!" The centaur thing seemingly agreed with his sentiments, as it let out a loud roar of defiance and slammed its front legs into the Lor's deck.

The bladed humanoid came first swinging its arms downwards. Magolor feigned a yawn and spun on his heel to avoid the attack. "Hmm. Your blade is made out of an interesting material. Do you mind if I take a sample?" The wizard then slammed his elbow into the Reavers helmet, knocking it back a bit. As it fell, Magolor grabbed the machine's arm and pulled hard, ripping it from its socket. He hummed as he started examining the blade, but was disappointed when it began dissolving. "Well, I suppose I'll need a live specimen then," He muttered.

Afterwards, he turned back to his opponents, and snapped his fingers. Immediately, purple needles came bursting out from interdimensional holes, and skewering the Voidrangers from multiple sides. The Eliminator in particular didn't seem to take the damage that well, dropping to its knees and struggling to rise. Magolor noticed, and with a smile hidden underneath his hood, launched multiple Magic Spheres at it. They crashed into the Eliminator, sending it off the Lor's deck and floating aimlessly into space.

"Bye now!" Magolor said, waving. "As for you two…" Without even looking behind him. Magolor conjured a portal and disappeared, just as the Trampler smashed its hooves where he once stood. It looked around in confusion, trying to look for where the wizard had disappeared to. While it was distracted, Magolor calmly walked out a portal behind the Trampler, bitchslapped the remaining Reaver, and placed a hand on his chin. "I wonder if you can be tamed like a horse?"

Without even thinking, Magolor jumped up and landed on the centaur's back. "Yeehaw! Giddy up, get'em pardner, cowboy references, woohoo!" The wizard cheered. The Trampler attempted to shake Magolor off its back, jumping up and down and trying to grab him with its hands. "Nope, nope, nope!" Magolor says, and conjures two Deadly Needles, stabbing them through the Trampler's arms and keeping them in place. As he did, the reaver from earlier leapt up, aiming to sink its blade into his back. Instead, Magolor disappears again, causing the Reaver to stab the Trampler's back.

Enraged, the Trampler pried its arms off the Deadly Needles and grabbed the Reaver by the neck. After prying it off its back, it used the other hand to grip the Reaver's waist and tear it in two. Magolor grimaced slightly as he leaned on the railings of the Lor.

"Yeesh. Did nobody program friendly fire settings into you?" Magolor asks. The Trampler spins around and towers over him, forming a bow-like weapon in its hands. Magolor cocks an eyebrow and stares unimpressed at the Trampler. "Okay. I see how it is. Can you send the thing to Susie so she can study it? Tell her it's an early birthday gift or something."

Just as the Trampler unleashes its attack, a portal forms underneath it, and it falls into one of Susie's many R&D buildings scattered across Pop Star. Magolor tilts his head to the side, the arrow flying right past his head. "Well that wasn't very fun. How close are we to Docking Bay 14?" Magolor asked.

Next thing he knew, the Lor had had crashed into something, and Magolor faceplanted onto a metal floor. Groaning, he pushed himself off the floor and shook his head gently. "Urgh… You could've warned me, y'know! Now, where exactly am I…?" The next thing he knew, there was an oversized pizza cutter placed right next to his neck. "Well that's not very courteous, is it?"

Magolor fell into his portal, and reappeared behind the assailant. "Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself! Here I am, taking time out of my day to help you out with your monster infestation, and the next thing I know there's a pizza cutter being held at my throat. Maybe I should charge double my usual costs…"

Magolor examined the one holding the pizza cutter; a red-haired woman wearing a white dress and a black coat. Behind her was a train of all things. She also carried a black suitcase with a massive buzzsaw coming out of the size, and Magolor saw an opportunity.

For capitalism.

"By the by, your blade is looking a tad dull. I can offer my services and not only sharpen your pizza cutter–" The woman's nose wrinkles, "–but also include many, many modifications that will surely help you with this monstrous and mechanical threat." The woman tilted her head in confusion, narrowing her red eyes at the wizard.

"Asta told us that we would be getting back up from a sailboat," The woman said, nodding her head to the starcutter.

"Well, considering that the Lor Starcutter is the only spacefaring sailboat in the area, that should be reason enough to, oh, I dunno, not be threatening my life at the moment, hmm? Just a thought," Magolor sassed, using a finger to push the buzzsaw away. The woman glowered at him, but with a flick of her wrist, the oversized pizza cutter spun and retracted back into the suitcase. The woman then sighed and offered her hand.

"Apologies. We're all a bit on edge because of the monster attack. My name's Himeko," The woman, now dubbed "Himeko," introduced herself. Magolor smiled underneath his hood.

"Magolor. A pleasure," The wizard said. His gaze then landed on the train. "Fine vessel you have there. Considering the fact that the tracks here lead into the vast, uncaring void, your train has some sort of way to travel across the stars?" Himeko snorted and crossed her arms under her chest.

"As much as I'd like to talk about the Astral Express, and even more so your 'Lor Starcutter,' we have much bigger things to worry about," Himeko said and pointed behind him. Magolor sighed and shrugged. He spun on his heel, and examined the egg-shaped Dupas and winged Darpa's, alongside Voidranger: Reavers and Exterminators.

"Well, who says we can't do both! I am quite the multitasker!" Magolor boasted, readying a magic sphere in his hands. Himeko hefted her arm, and the pizza cutter popped out of her suitcase.

" Lock down any information regarding alternate dimensions, Another Dimension, and any other related files. Security Level 6 and higher passcodes are required to access them, " Magolor said in Halcandran. The only indication that the Lor even heard him was the slight shift in its oars. He looked to his new partner only to realize that she had gone off to fight, smashing Dupas and Dippas with her suitcase. Magolor hummed, slightly impressed.

As she swung her pizza cutter in a wide ark, a Deppa appeared from behind, attempting to take a bite out of her. Once she realized that, Magolor's Deadly Needles pierced through, causing the monster's horns to fly off, striking a Reaver and knocking down a Distorter.

"Close one," Magolor comments cheekily. With a snap of his fingers, more Deadly Needles pop into existence, popping Dippas and Darpas, and knocking down a handful of Eliminators. "By the way, have you ever considered studying these creatures? Or machines? Whatever they are? I must say, I'm quite interested in the material used in their blades. It appears to be made out of–"

Magolor paused and hummed questioningly. When he saw Himeko running towards with her pizza cutter, the wizard nearly had a heart attack and ducked as her blade ran through a Deppa. "Studying the Antimatter Legion? Well, I can't say I've ever thought about it. Not only is there no place to contain one on the Express, a Reaver's blade can cut through most material with relative ease. There's a chance that the Station has the resources to subdue and contain one." She answered. There was an explosion behind her, and when she looked around, she could see Magolor juggling bombs in his hands, carelessly tossing them every which way, eviscerating monsters that were engulfed by its flames.

"Now then, that should be the last of the monsters in this area! If you can supply me with a map of the facility, I'm sure I can find my way around. We wouldn't want your funny space train getting damaged. Technology like that could take weeks, maybe even months to repair!"

"No need," Himeko said with a too-smug smile. "A comrade of mine is currently inside. If any more monsters show up, they'll be dealt with in no time." Magolor glared at her momentarily, but his expression eased up after a few seconds.

"Very well. Do you have any other companions wandering the station? Those monsters can be plenty dangerous if you allow them to swarm you!"

"You and I seemed to handle them just fine," Himeko commented. She was still looking at Magolor suspiciously. Maybe a ticket to Magoland will be enough to turn that frown upside down?

"Yes, but that comes from years of experience!" (Actually, he was only trapped in Another Dimension for a few hours, but who's counting?) "And besides, those guys we just fought? They're the chumps . The small grunts. Things get much, much more interesting once the bosses start wrecking the place!" Magolor tells her. "But, seeing as a Boss level enemy isn't inside the station, I think we're fine. For now, at least."

"For now?"

"Well, those monsters came from portals, so logically speaking, at any moment a Boss level enemy can come barreling through those portals, wreck house, take the thing they're trying to leave, refuse to elaborate, and leave," Magolor said.

"These monsters are after something?" Himeko asked, a sly smile forming on her lips. Luckily for her, Magolor was more than eager to elaborate.

"Yes, of course! Another Dimension doesn't have many natural energy sources, which is why the monsters and other creatures that live often invade other dimensions in order to find energy to feast on. I would know; they've tried eating the Energy Spheres from my ship multiple times." Magolor said.

Himeko placed a hand on her chin, thinking. "In that case, we better regroup with Dan Heng and March 7th, and fast. I think that even with your help, we might have difficulty managing not only these monsters, but the Antimatter Legion as well." Himeko's brow furrowed. "Also, I don't mean to be rude, but, have you come here all by yourself? Forgive me if I don't think that one person can turn the tides on this invasion."

"No offense taken! To answer your question, I'm not the only one. An associate of mine has been assigned to another section of the station to deal with the monsters there. At least, I hope so. He's… a bit a heavy sleeper, so there's a chance Susie might have sent somebody else," Magolor admitted.

Just then, the entire station lurched , knocking both of them off balance.

"Ah, nevermind! It appears as though my associate has arrived!" Magolor said, pointing a finger upwards while his face remained stuck to the ground. Himeko stared at him in disbelief. "Ohohoho! The Legion won't know what hit 'em!"

Asta nearly had a heart attack when the station lurched. Multiple warnings popped on her screens and sirens blaring all over the facility. She was starting to have a headache from all the noise. From her console, she could see the Trailblazers–March 7th and Dan Heng, she thinks Himeko called them–rushing down hallways, coughing up smoke from the exploding elevator. In the Supply Zone, Himeko and newcomer Magolor, were rushing out as fast as they could, the latter taking the Trailblazer's ear off. Asta chuckled slightly. It quickly died down when more portals started appearing around the Astral Express, and more monsters started pouring out to attack.

"What in the world?" Asta muttered. It was as if those monsters from the portals had waited until Magolor had left in order to continue the assault. She did hear him say to Himeko that had experience with them. That either means they're capable of at least some level of critical thinking, or that somebody is behind the portals. Asta bit her thumb as she watched the events unfold through the screen.

Again, the entire station lurched, and Asta screamed. "What the heck was that? Arlan, come in! What was that!?" The only thing she got was static. "No, no, no, shit! Why did this have to happen today!?" Almost frantically, she threw various camera feeds, but was only met with empty hallways or black screens. That is, until the camera feed changed to the area outside the station. Asta practically shrieked when she saw a boy, only a bit older than some of their youngest researchers, calmly walking towards the otherworldly monster and Antimatter Legion without a care in the world.

The boy was short, less than 5 feet at minimum. He had curly pink hair, vibrant, bright skin, and rosy cheeks. He wore an unzipped pink sweater with a star design that had two rings orbiting it on the back, a plain white t-shirt, blue shorts, and red sneakers with white laces. But by far the most notable thing about him (at least, Asta assumed they were male, it was kind of hard to tell) were his eyes. They were completely blue, no whites to speak of, and seemed to be as expansive as the universe around them. Interestingly, there seemed to be white dots twinkling inside, almost like stars.

Asta's surprise only becomes stronger when the Antimatter Legion in the child's direct line of sight stops and freezes for just a second, the child's eyes twinkling mischievously. The Eliminators all turn around, pointing their weapons at the child. Their weapons begin glowing just as the child's slow walk turns into a sprint.

Kirby runs with ease, bobbing and weaving through blasts and explosions. He dodges each attack with a look of determination on his face, approaching the Antimatter Legion much faster than he reasonably should. Once he reaches the first wave of monsters, Kirby drops to the ground and spin kicks, knocking all of the machines off the station and spiraling into space. A Reaver jumps and tries slashing at him, but Kirby manages to use the momentum of his kick to twist his body and leap off the ground, grabbing the Reaver's arm in the process. He lands on the ground, Kirby spins and tosses the reavers as hard as he could, destroying the machines in front of him with a large, fiery explosion.

As the dust settles, Kirby jumps through weaves through another set of Reavers. The pink puffball dodges each attack they throw at him, only to grab them and toss them back at their comrades. At least, he assumes they're comrades; they have a tendency to accidentally rip each other to shreds whenever Kirby dodges an attack. Regardless, Kirby calmly makes his way through waves and waves of Legionnaires. They easily fall to only a couple of earth-shattering kicks to the chest.

Just as Kirby punched a hole through the last Legionnaire, a loud, piercing roar tore through space. Kirby looked up, and saw a giant, mechanical dragon with silvery armor and light blue energy flowing through its wings and bodies. Kirby raises an eyebrow, and jumps out of the way when a large clawed hand slams into the ground. He limbos under another claw swipe, and leaps over a laser beam coming from the machine's chest. As Kirby runs around it, he manages to spy a slowly disintegrating arm of a Reaver.

Kirby makes a break for the blade, ducking under another laser beam from the dragon's chest. The blast landed in front of Kirby and exploded, knocking the pink hero off the space station. Asta shrieks in horror as the pink-haired boy flails, slowly floating away from the station. The Doomsday Beast howls triumphantly, and the engine begins charging another blast. However, both Asta and the Beast fail to notice a twinkling star in the distance, one that slowly begins to glow brighter.

In the blink of an eye, as the Doomsday Beast fires its ultimate attack, Kirby extends a hand and grabs onto the Warp Star. However, instead of whisking him away to safety, Kirby crosses his arms and takes the blast head on. As he does, Kirby opens his mouth and begins inhaling, breathing in the quantum dust cloud. Both the Doomsday Beast and Asta look on in shock as the cloud slowly disappears, the pink haired boy changes before their very eyes.

The boy's clothing remains mostly the same, barring a few color changes. His sweater is now bright red, and his white shirt is replaced by a blue and yellow striped tee. Also, he now wears a blue baseball cap with a red,and there was a bandage over the bridge of his nose and his right knee. The hat was tilted to the side, giving off the impression that Kirby was some sort of mischievous skater kid. At least, that's what Asta thought at first glance.

ESP Kirby reaches forward with one hand, and grabs the Disaster's Right Hand with his newfound psychic powers. With a snap of his fingers, the fist slammed itself into the Doomsday Beast's engine, damaging it beyond repair. In a fit of rage, the Dawn's Left Hand rocketed towards Kirby, who simply fell off of his Warp Star to avoid the attack. The Warp Star spun around and crashed into the retreating fist, knocking it into the machine's head. The Doomsday Beast's head snapped back, the armor around its neck cracking loudly.

Using his psychic abilities, ESP Kirby tightly gripped the wings of the planet-busting machine and crumpled them like tinfoil. The Doomsday Beast shrieked, and as Kirby snapped his fingers, its wings wore torn from its back, and he tossed them towards the neighboring planet. In a fit of anger the Doomsday Beast tried to fire another beam from its destroyed engine, but all managed to fire off multiple sparks of quantum energy. Kirby didn't even blink when he caught the blasts, and sent them back towards the machine.

Under the force of its own explosions, the Doomsday Beast's outer shell cracked and even started melting. The mechanical dragon crashed into the side of the space station, and Asta expected the entire thing to lurch once more. But, that never happened.

As the Doomsday Beast struggled to pick itself up, Kirby began calmly walking towards the machine. As he did, it looked as if the machine was trying to flee from the pink-haired boy. Asta is initially amused by that, until she realized that the machine notorious for ruthlessly destroying planets was scampering away from a middle-school aged child with a funny hat.

Once Kirby got close enough. He raised both hands, picking up the Doomsday Beast with ease. He then balled his hands, causing the dragon to crumple. Kirby brought his hands together and started rolling them, transforming the Doomsday Beast into a massive ball of rolled up metal and energy. As the energy from the Beast's engine begins to leak out, Kirby tosses it beside, flinching slightly once he lets go of the metal ball, causing the built-up energy to explode outwards, utterly destroying any nearby monsters. Again, Asta expects the station to shake, but it never does.

"...And that's how I successfully managed to uncover the Lor Starcutter!" A new voice behind the lead researcher said, just as the door to Master Control Zone hissed open. She whirled around, dumbfounded to see a mass of purple needles burst from the floor, launching Voidrangers and monsters into the air, allowing one of Himeko's attack drones to see through them.

"How fascinating!" Himeko exclaimed next to the newcomer, handing the hooded figure a cup of coffee. "And that dragon you mentioned, the one guarding the caldera…"

"Oh, Landia? Unfortunately, it managed to strike the Lor while I was making a… strategic retreat. Thankfully, the ship managed to hold itself together for just long enough for me to escape," The hooded figure from the sailboat said, graciously taking the tea cup Himeko handed to him. He turned around, and Asta could swear that his ovoid eyes started glowing brightly.

"Well, well, well! If it isn't the head researcher of this fine establishment!" Magolor said, speed walking towards Asta and vigorously shaking her hand. "I am Magolor, captain of the Lor Starcutter, at your service!" He paused for a moment, thinking. Afterwards he turned to Himeko and asked, "I don't need to like, bow on my knees or anything, right? I've been to so many planets, the cultures tend to sort of blend together!"

"No, no, that won't be necessary!" Asta said, waving her hands erratically. The thought of someone bowing before her was absolutely mortifying. She coughed into her hands to clear her throat. "I'm Asta, the head researcher of Herta Space Station. Thank you for assisting us in our time of need."

"Oh, think nothing of it! And besides, we're happy to help anyone in need! But, to be completely honest, we had no idea you guys even existed until just recently!" Magolor exclaimed. Asta blinked.

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" Asta asked, dumbfounded.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Initially, the only reason why me and my associates came here was to seal those portals to Another Dimension, and eliminate the monsters that came through the portal. We thought they were going to invade the planet, as there seemed to be a massive source of energy in the area. Imagine our surprise when the source was coming straight from your station! I know that this information is probably classified, but what sort of projects are you working on here? Super weapons? Doomsday devices? Interdimensional portal technology? An ice cream dispenser the size of a planet!?" Magolor asked ecstatically. Asta looked at him, tilting her head. She turned towards Himeko, but she looked just as confused.

"I… have no idea what you're talking about. Sure, the station has lots of trinkets and Curios, but nothing should be able to be detected from other dimensions. Much less something that normal creatures are able to sense," Asta said. Magolor's yellow eyes dimmed slightly, and the cones of his hood drooped slightly.

Where… are those supposed to be ears?

"Is that so…?" Magolor said quietly. Asta flinched slightly, and even Himeko seemed slightly unnerved upon hearing his voice. "Well, the monsters from Another Dimension have to be after something! Why, oh why, are they here then? Heck, the fact the station even exists at the moment is telling us that they are, in fact, looking for something and don't want to risk destroying that object," He hooded wizard reasons. Magolor then glances briefly at Asta, and next second, he's only a few inches away from her, staring right into her eyes. She flinches back slightly, and even Himeko is momentarily startled. Despite the close proximity, she still can't see anything of his face besides his glowing yellow eyes.

"So, I ask again. What sort of projects and studies are you conducting on this itty. Bitty. Space station? " Magolor asked amicably.

"N-nothing along those you mentioned earlier," Asta stuttered. "Most of our studies don't even involve dimensional travel, and really, what we focus on usually depends on the owner of the Space Station, Herta."

"Herta…" Magolor muttered, placing a hand under his chin. "Well then, at least I know who I'm going to have to talk to!" He clasped his hands together, and regarding the two scientists with a warm face, a sudden departure from his eerie demeanor. "In the meantime, I'm going to break into Herta's office in order to figure out what she's hiding! If you, the head researcher, doesn't know why the forces from Another Dimension are here, then obviously, this "Herta" character definitely should!" He said rather nonchalantly. Asta's eyes widened like saucers.

"Wait, what!? No, you can't just break into her office!" Asta shouted, grabbing onto the Magolor's sleeve. The wizard huffed and disappeared in a cloud of black and purple smoke in the shape of a star.

With a wave of his hand, ESP Kirby had thrown the last set of Darpas off of the space station. After looking around for a while, he placed his fists and let out a self-satisfactory huff. No more monsters! People in this section of the space station should be safe now.

Kirby was about to walk towards another section of the station, until he felt something pulling him towards the left, though it wasn't a physical pull, like somebody tugging on a rope or beam. No, this was a spiritual pull, one tugging at his very soul. The last time he felt something like that was during the Star Allies' battle against Void.

Furrowing his brow, Kirby grabbed onto a piece of metal from the station's hull with his psychic powers, and pulled. The metal shrieked as it was torn from the rest of the ship. The air came rushing out of the hole he made, so Kirby made sure to hold the oxygen in place. Once he made a hole large enough for him to fit in, he shoved the air back inside and forced the metal down. He applied a bit more quantum energy to his psychokinesis. The edges of the metal melted, sealing it and preventing the air from rushing out into the vacuum of space.

Now under the effects of the station's artificial gravity, Kirby dropped like rock. Calmly, he looked down, and saw one of those centaur machines rearing up on its hind legs. The pink-haired boy brought his legs to chest, and just as he was a couple centimeters above the Trampler, shot his legs down. The Trampler was flattened like a pancake, and the force of blow caused Kirby to rebound off its back to land in front of it.

As Kirby watched the remains of the Trampler collapse in on itself, he noticed the pull from earlier was stronger. Much stronger. Almost as though it was… right behind him. Slowly, he turned around.

In front of him was a boy in a green and white coat wielding a spear, another boy with purple eyes, a girl with pink hair and pretty pink/light blue eyes, and another girl with silver hair and eyes made out of molten gold.

Kirby's gaze zeroed in on the ashen haired girl. The pull was coming from her, but at the same time, it wasn't. It was weird, not all like Void Termina and Void. But still…

Now that he was close enough, he could tell that the pull wasn't very nice. It was forceful and eager. He could hear whispers coming from beyond the gray-haired girl's soul, whispers of gifts and miracles. But, Kirby had heard those kinds of whispers before. It was the kind of whispers the Jamba gave out, and from the Fountain of Dreams when it was corrupted by Nightmare. Promises of false paradise and unending darkness.

He frowned, drawing confused glances from the trio.

…

Kirby had been saving galaxies left and right for a while now. Chances are the gray-haired girl was possessed by Dark Matter, or some Dark Matter equivalent, and had successfully managed to convince them to do something bad so that it could… destroy the world or something? That sounds about right. Very, very casually, Kirby kneels into a fighting stance. The trio takes notice, if the bafflement in their expressions is anything to go by.

He decided that he's going to beat the evil out of her.

Many people have masks covering their faces to hide their true feelings from everyone else. These masks aren't necessarily bad, but it makes it hard to connect with other people. They have their reasons to keep them on, but if it's worn for too long, nobody will be able to notice if you're actually in trouble.

Those that follow the Path of Dreams value adventure, discovery, and friendship. Gameplay wise, Dreams Pathstriders have the ability to transform mid-battle, either through the use of a Talent or an Ultimate, which will either overhaul their moveset or greatly improve them.

Though the Aeon who presides over this Path is unknown, they may be a lot closer than you think…
