Chapter/Tale 1: Blades and Fury: Act 3
Author's Note Intro:
Hiii! I'm back! Sorry about the long delay on Chapter 5 and the long author's note, because eventually, someone will complain about the contents in the storyline, so I figured, better to tell them soon than later in the story, and I'm sorry about the delay on Chapter 6, I was brainstorming some more ideas for this Kirby story and making a word document so I can keep track of that to write this story for good measures, and also I was making edits to some of the chapters, so I deeply apologize for those two delays.
For this chapter, it will be only Kirby this time to 2 levels this time, so I'll put two levels in one chapter, two levels in the next chapter, and the boss after that and the aftermath of the boss leading to the next planet. There will be returning foes in this one, so keep your eyes peeled, and the boss fights, I will make them a "No Damage" battle scene. That's all I have to say, and I do not own Kirby or any references in this fanfiction-DISCLAIMER. Other than that, have fun reading Chapter 6! Also, new abilities which are fan-made by me are there. My work won't be perfect, and I will try to improve in the future, alright? So, enjoy chapter 6!
Chapter 5 recap and preview…
The last time we saw Kirby, he was making his way through Aura Grounds and Windy Caves, while gaining some new abilities. While he was doing that, the trio are working to make the cure, and to their surprise, Karly had been cured from her poison coma without the herb cure. Eventually, on the Mothership, Kaila ends up meeting Kailo and Kirie, Kira Star Kids from Kira Haven, who are the hearts of Kirby and Karly and their guardians. The two kids went off to see Kirby, while he is going to climb Gale Peaks. Let's see what happens along the way of Kirby as he makes it to the Jewel Chamber.
Kirby's POV
Level Three: Gale Peaks (F.M. Canyon- Spark the Electric Jester)
Entering the next area, I look upon a giant hill that had the features of a tall mountain. Climbing it looks easy, since it's only by floors that makes it high like that. I could see 2.5D platforms floating ahead and around me were animals of nature and talking flowers that looks like Lovely. The environment was just right and I'm starting to enjoy this, like nothing could ruin this-
"WWHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly, a giant wave of air crashed on the ground like a hurricane of destruction, strong enough to blow everything off the ground. I guarded for defense, so when it was over, I lowered my defense, seeing that the crops were ruined, trees timbered to the ground by one slice, and the animals were flipped over crazy and scared. Everything was a mess!
"W-what h-happened?!" I stammered. "Everything's destroyed!"
"SSCCCCRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH!"
My ears exploded to the sound of a giant scream. My attention forwarded me to look up to the sky, and from the view, I put on my goggles to get a better look. From up close, it looked like… a giant eagle?! Its flapping wings makes the people blow away with its power-shocking wind. The talons are razor sharp, so sharp it can kill someone with one scratch. And the head has a mighty beak that can scoop more than just one person in there, maybe a whole town. Plus, the tail looks like the end of a dragon's tail, but it looks more like a bird's tail, maybe both, but I think that things a fusion of both? It soared over to the top of Gale Peaks, rolling in circles for a while, and then it marked its territory there. I then notice another sign, and it looks like a warning sign.
"Beware of the Rare Flying Monstrosity, the most feared giant flying dragon or bird in history of Aura Star at the top of Gale Peaks. If you see a ruined crop, get out of there immediately or the Wind Blade will get you."
For some reason, that screech sounds so familiar, but where did I hear it before? Not wanting to stand around, I venture to reach to the top of Gale Peaks to find out.
I ran ahead to start from the base, since there was an opening on the bottom to climb. The path is curved in 2.5D mode, so I had to shimmy along the skinny platforms and avoid falling off. It curved left to right, and I encountered some enemies along the way. The abilities I currently have are: Sword, Fire, Twin Blade, Cutter, Beam, Ice, Jet, and Jet Blaster. I'm not sure how much more there are here. I used them all in the order I got them from. Somehow, there was a long gap, no, a really long gap which led around the mountain that not even a double jump can't make. Then I noticed another sign is just standing there next to me and the edge it was near. and it has the Jet Blaster symbol, a sword and a jet. Maybe there's something that it wants to tell me about the gap?
Traversing Hazards With Abilities
Along the way, you will need to switch to certain abilities to get through puzzles and obstacles. This tricky jump requires the Fusion Ability, Jet Blaster. With the addition of a Jet, you can rocket boost and fly over long distances with that Jetpack. See the symbol here? From now on, these symbols will tell you which ability is needed. So take note of that. Plus, any flying ability will do in these types of situations, so keep that in mind.
After reading the sign, I had to switch to Jet Blaster, which made me look like a blue knight, but I bore the color aqua with a jetpack. My goggles were the Jet ability kind, my clothes were aqua, plus my white t-shirt was black and still had the yellow star, my hair was original aqua and a see through, my blade was the same as usual, and I have a double-barreled jetpack strapped to my back with metal aqua straps and the jetpack was silver white on the cover. The engine port was copper bronze, and yellow flames ignited on. I think I look pretty good, to be honest.
Anyway, I got ready to launch to the other side and make it around the area. I went a little bit back to get a running boost. When my fears shrink back, I dashed without thinking, and at the edge of the cliff, I leaped like a spring and somehow jumped to the sky, like even though, I was flying like Superman, but after realizing that the jet didn't activate, I end up screaming and almost about to fall, and that's when the jet mode activated in time, picking me up from my near death chasm. It then threw me into hyper drive and zoomed me straight over the gap and around the peaks on the other platform. I landed on my feet while performing a flip forward. From recovering from that experience, I was kind of dizzy, so I had to wait it out a little bit.
Later, after I'm done, keeping Jet Blaster, I continued on the scale the peaks that looks like a mountain. The path was going downward for some reason, and I hesitated and stopped. Something's fishy here. Then, just when I least expect it, a giant boulder came crashing down behind me. The impact made me turn around and gaze upon a giant rock.
"Oh god no. I'm out of here!" I yelled.
I had no choice but to run for it. Then, the boulder starts to chase me around rolling. Running, I had to jump, duck, and slash my way to avoid getting squashed. The boulder somehow was rolling across the skinny 2.5D platforms, like it has a mind of its own. Around halfway across the peaks, I managed to get a good distance away from the boulder, but I stopped due to a problem. It was across the bridge and I was in the center of the peaks, but the bridge extended to a about the size of a bowl if you are small, and it was inside a cave.
"Uh-oh, the bridge is out!" I groaned. I look back at the returning boulder, getting ready to crush me in delight. "What do I do?!" I panicked. Now I'm starting to regret that humans can't fly, and if I was still a puffball, I could puff and float across with ease. Isn't there another way?
Then, I remembered that I still had Jet Blaster on me all of a sudden. Glancing at the wide chasm, I got ready to fly again. Since I have the Jet ability on me, it can take me over to the other side.
"Alright, here goes nothing!" I bounced off the edge of the broken bridge, yelling. The boulder kept rolling, hoping to crush me, but due to its weight, gravity pulled down the boulder into the bottomless abyss. The boulder was so close to me, but I rocketed just in time to fly away from it. I looked back, seeing the ever explosion of a giant rock crumble like a cookie to pieces.
"Whew! That was a close one- ugh!" My words were crushed by the impact of smashing into the wall, making me crash on the hard rocky floor moaning, but I'm okay. Dusting myself off, I went out of the cave's chasm-way, nearing almost to the top. Now I'm starting to wonder how Merina and Maddie got up here to the top in the first place. From the outside of the peaks made of green grounds and brown slopes, I could see some kind of floating, sacred ruins from the distance over there, but it was averagely high like about half of Gale Peaks' height. The road to the top was curved to the side and the width of the path was about the average width of all mountain paths. Now I just have to walk along the road and I'm done with this place.
I then saw a doorway inside the hill climb, having a strange light. Entering inside, it was a room with 3 Copy Essence Deluxe Trophies. They were single abilities before. The first one was Spark, the second one was Stone, and the third one was a new one I've never seen before. I took the Spark and Stone ability, which Spark is like Fire and Ice before with electric essence and spark fists, and Stone makes me look brown, I have the same Stone hat, and I have rocky knuckles replacing my sword. But when I took the third new ability having the gun symbol, I feel… robotic. My body feels hard, and I can see that there are lines on my body. I have a cyan tank on my back connecting to something, my clothes look high tech in the future, resembling the same outfit but only high tech this time, and it's cyan, I notice these two things on both my ears, a cyan scouter covering both my eyes, but you could see my eyes through this, plus a cyan scarf wrapped around my neck and in my hand is a blaster?! What is this?!
You gained both the "Spark" and "Stone" abilities! You also gained a new ability, "Recon Automata"! This is a new single ability now, all three are added to the slot and are now accessible!
This is new, but I look weird now but cool. I mean, my outfit is the same as my current one, but just in high tech design, my body feels like a robot and my skin seems silver white or pale, these ear thingies, I'll just call them headphones, are really nice, my hair is cyan-like, I have a vision scouter which connects to my headphones, a cozy scarf, and I have a freaking blaster in my hands and it has a cord that extends to the cyan tank on my back! I think I'll hold onto this for a while. Then, the door to my right mysteriously opened by itself. Next to the open door, I see a weird thing standing there. It was a green portal on the floor with non-filled stars illuminating from it. I cautiously walked over to the weird looking portal, stepping on it, and then the light flashed on me, healing my cuts and injuries right away. Then, a question appeared in my face.
Would you like to save your current position in your adventure/game?
"Um, YES?"
Now saving your position in your adventure, please wait…
"Huh?"
Saving the Adventure With Star Checkpoints
Save complete! If you lose a life, you'll return here to this point until you run out of lives, taking you back to the title screen. These will most likely appear when you encounter tough obstacles or enemies in your case. Your results, records, statuses, and item and etc. are recorded here. Also, you can recover your health as well just by stepping on it. All status aliments, low SP and HP and such will instantly be cured. An interesting touch to this will be that it'll signal you that an important event will take place the moment you step through the door ahead of you with its color or how far are you into the dungeon or if a boss battle is coming. The colors will change depending on the situation, so keep an eye out and prepare carefully or you're gonna have a bad time going blindly. Just as Seiya would say: Be Ready Perfectly!

The light stopped illuminating for once and it returned back to its small self. I wonder what that was all about, with that RPG feel of saving and whatever. I just shrugged it off and just pass through the door. But it is a neat touch, y'know.
The Nest: Top of the Peaks
Seeing daylight, I suddenly notice that I've reached the top of Gale Peaks! The actually summit was one level above me, but now only I just have to walk around the pathway and reach the center. Strolling ahead, while doing that, I saw a sacred ruins just above and across from where I am. Wait, actually, it's floating. Eh. My eyes then gaze upon a crash site in front of me like a meteor smashed here. I gingerly went over to that crater to get a better look. In fact, you're not going to believe this, but this is the crater that was formed by us when we fell here! It was a mess of ground, rocks, and debris at this point. The whole top was a giant circle large enough to fit a giant bird.
"So this is where we crashed, huh? Maddie and Merina was right about this! Hmm, there's the Jewel Chamber, and from the distance, there's a dark barrier behind it. I must be getting close!" I marveled. "And there's the goal door over there! I'm home free, baby! Wow, I can see Aura Town from here and the entire land!"
I was chanting these things when I saw a crop that looked wrecked.
"Oh, there's a flower that looks chopped and wrecked, not to mention a few of them as well. Must've been a hard storm or something. Well, flowers and wrecked crops aside- I should say-" I stopped the second I saw a wrecked crop. "A WRECKED CROP?! Oh no, that sign!"
"If you see a wrecked crop, get out of there immediately or the Wind Blade will get you." The words struck my head in a flashback.
"The Wind Blade? What is that, anyway?" I thought as I was running to the Jewel Chamber. Unfortunately, when I was about to make it to the goal, the door disappeared and the road to Jewel Chamber sunk to the ground, and wind started to put up defenses to make sure I don't escape and threw me back all the way to the edge, but not that close with the wind defenses blocking that way and shoved me back to the arena.
"What? What's going on?!" I darted my eyes around. Then, my vision scouter, for some reason started blinking red of danger.
WARNING! UNIDENTIFIED BEING COMING THIS WAY! GET READY TO BRAWL! ENEMY NOW APPROACHING!
"SSCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly, that screech appeared out of nowhere, shouting at my eardrums. I then saw a flying figure heading this way and barrel-rolling around, zooming past the arena with its strong wings causing a storm. Defending from the wind, I look up to see the dark figure reveal itself descending to the ground, making the floor rumble a little bit with wind.
Somehow, it looked familiar with its rainbow colored wings and tail, its orange claws and razor talons, its body is white on the lower part, while the top has some kind of armor and the jewel on the chest of the thing was sapphire blue. Its head had a yellow ball-like Mohawk, the skin of the face is red, its pointed beak is orange, and the eyes are icy blue, but it was a bit shady black. I don't know why that thing looks so familiar, because that flying thing isn't a dragon, it's a bird that looks so much like Dyna Blade at Popstar. Why does it look like her so much-? My mouth literally dropped to the ground when I got a closer look at that giant bird. That was a female bird, in fact the only one in existence and my mind jumped to only one logical answer:
That flying monstrosity IS Dyna Blade! I can't believe it! In fact, I should've recognized that scene from earlier when the crops and trees were destroyed by a giant flying thing. But what's Dyna Blade doing here on Aura Star in the first place? I'm not sure if she recognizes me or not since I'm human, but if she's the one who destroyed the crops, what makes her the enemy in the first place or might be the first boss fight? Dropping the ability, I try to see if she knows who I am.
"Hiya, Dyna Blade! Long time no see! What's shaking, old friend?" I nervously chuckled, kind of scared due to what happened last time, and it was not with her chicks, but I think I'll tell you later. "It's me, Kirby, as a human! Don't you recognize me; you are Dyna Blade, are you? Poyo?"
She doesn't reply. Instead, she just stares at me with those tense eyes of hers. It was really intimidating, and I was sweating a lot in fear. After what seems to be forever, she cawed happily with a smile from her beak. Yep, she does recognize me! That's good, because I don't wanna relive that incident again in my life ever. Then, she does something that I'd never expected her to do.
"Hello, Kirby! I didn't recognize you for a second there!" My mouth drops to the ground when she did that.
"What?! You can talk now?!" I reacted in surprise.
"That's right, Kirby!" Dyna replied. "I don't how it's possible, but I just found myself being able to speak."
I don't know how she got here or how she was able to speak, but something tells me not to let my guard down this time. I have a gut feeling about this, plus I don't think she's the flying monstrosity that did this. From her face, I can see her happiness to see me now. But, if she's not responsible for this, then who?
I end up becoming "Recon Automata" again without even thinking, and then that's when the vision scouter starts up again.
FALSE ALARM. NOT THE ENEMY, MY BAD. NO, WAIT. HERE COMES ANOTHER FLYING BEAST HEADING THIS WAY!
"Say what?" I said.
Dyna Blade stops and looks up to the sky. When I look in Dyna Blade's direction, I see another flying thing speeding to our location that fast with the wind. Dyna then leaps over to my side for some reason and then the figure zoomed past through with the wind impact that powerful.
"RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK!" It shrieked louder than Dyna Blade does. That's when the real monster appears.
Ok, now is it me or does that thing looks like a giant bird that looks like Dyna Blade, except with the same colors as Dyna but the outside skin is green this time and its eyes are burning red, but shady black as well. It's a green giant bird that looks like- oh, I see now. Oh my gosh!
That bird is the REAL flying monstrosity that destroyed all of the crops and chopped down the trees and frightened all of the animals! This explains everything about the flying menace! But something's not right about that bird.
"There's another one of you?! I thought you were the only one left in existence!" I gasped, starstruck in shock.
She shook her head in response to my answer. Then, my head came up with the most reasonable, craziest idea yet to this scene.
"If you're not the only one left, does that mean that one is your sister?" I guessed.
Dyna Blade nodded in response. That bird's her sister?! This is something I've never heard of before, Dyna Blade has a sister! I was stuttering in shock, trying to get one out my mouth, but I couldn't. The other bird then started to get hostile all of a sudden. We both notice this together that she was out of control, like something's wrong with her. Unexpectedly, we saw her color drain from rainbow to red, purple, black and white. Dark electric power was consuming her alive like crazy. The sky shifted to black and winds started to pour down on us.
The background started to spin and kick up a storm violently while thunder bolts cracked like a nuke and winds started to become very powerful. The sister screeched for help, but it was too late. The darkness truly covered her. Her eyes are now completely yellow with no pupils and she had some kind of eye on the red jewel on her chest. Dyna Blade screeched when she saw this happen.
"What happened to your sister?" I yelled.
She cawed in some way to say that something took possession of her. Somehow I can understand her even as a human. I guess my instincts and habits stuck to me.
"Something possessed her? Wait, I bet Dark Matter is behind this- they have the power to possess people, and that eyeball on her red jewel must've been what they got through her!" I growled. "What do we do now?!"
She screeched, saying that I have to beat her sister in order to free her from Dark Matter. I really don't want to fight her sister, but what choice do I have? NONE! I don't think Dyna Blade can even stand to fight her own sister, so that's why she asked me to defeat her sister for her.
"Alright, Dyna Blade, if you say so. Let's do this," I declared. "Don't worry, we'll help you out, Dyna's sister!"
At that moment, that's when she looked at us possessed angry. She then shot a wind attack at me, but Dyna Blade blocked the attack for me with her body, taking the hit and was knocked aside, due to her sister's attack being so powerful than hers.
"Dyna Blade!" I ran over to the fallen Dyna Blade. "Are you okay?!"
She squawked weakly from that one hit KO attack. "I'm sorry, Dyna Blade! Just hang in there! I'll help your sister out for you!"
Dyna smiled weakly. I nodded and turned around to face the other Blade sister who was possessed by Dark Matter. The other side of her didn't want to hurt her sister, but the possessive side did anyway.
"Dark Matter! Alright, you dirty heartless being, bring it on!" I challenged.
The possessed bird looks at me and screeches out loud. Then, she flapped her wings, lifting her up in the air, and she dove at me with charge. I prepared to take on Dyna Blade's sister, hoping to free her from Dark Matter's control.
"RRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Possessed by the Demons of Darkness- 1st Boss Battle
Kirby VS Dark Aura Blade (Metal Scratching- Sonic Rush)
Boss Description: This legendary bird known as Aura Blade, has been one of the legendary creatures and the last of its kind and is the sister of Dyna Blade, the bird of Popstar. Aura Blade controls the wind, hence the name Aura Blade is where it came from, since she is in Aura Star. Everyone on Popstar has thought that Dyna Blade was the only one left, but I guess we were all wrong about that fact. Turns out there's more than one Blade on each planet, if you're thinking that and you'd be right. Now possessed, she's more powerful than ever, and she could blow the entire planet away if you don't stop her!
Appearances: Kirby Super Star/Ultra, Kirby: Right Back At Ya! (Dyna Blade, specifically)
Aura Blade has been possessed by Dark Matter's minions!
Locking/Changing Targets to Monster Bosses
Lock on to her weak spot by holding the R Shoulder Button, automatically making a reticle to target enemy weak spots if they show it. They can be taken out faster by aiming for the weak spot, but you have to figure out what it is. All bosses have a main area you can attack that will be the most effective in combat, so be wary of that!
Change Targets/View Enemy Status- R Shoulder Button
I got ready to fight Aura Blade as she came charging down at me. With the Recon Automata ability, I finally got a chance to use a blaster on something. Aiming the blaster at her, I released the trigger on her and out came a cyan energy bullet striking her in the chest, but she didn't flinch. I shot a few more times, but I had to roll out of the way of her charge attack.
I aim for the chest when she was done doing that attack. She flinched a little bit. Then, she spat wind balls from her mouth, making two side to side pairs of mini tornadoes twirling at my direction. I leap over them with ease while charging up my blaster and unleashing a scope shot bigger than normal critically at the chest.
She shook it off, and then she slashed her wings in my direction repeatedly faster. Avoiding the razor blade of her sharp wings, Aura jumped in the air and soared, reaching to grab me with her talons of death. It was a close one, to when I thought she would actually get me. I didn't know what to do, but then my vision scouter told me to throw a bomb at her from my gun. Obeying, I pressed the button that switched the fire mode to bomb mode in the gun. Aura's sharp talons was ready to claw at me, but she's gotta be quicker than that if she wants to avoid the bomb that I shot at her chest by surprise. She tried to escape the blast radius, but it failed as the bomb went, "KABOOM!" all up in her face!
She critically took damage and flinched heavily while crashing to the ground. Aura Blade shook it off, and roared, revealing the eyeball of dark matter. Oh boy, I think she's pissed off now and she's going to plan something different.
Phase Two Activate!
Triggering Phases
ALL BOSSES will have more than one phase, mainly two or three phases they will have. Obviously, they will change their attack power once you reduce their hit points to a certain degree. And not just attacks as well- they may have debuff artes or inflict status ailments or perhaps skills to boost their own up. Don't think for a second the bosses will go down like that. After all, they're the main attraction in this adventure. In short, watch your back once their phase activates and use that to your advantage. Oh, and bosses do have health bars, there's a star icon floating above the target. You can see their health points just by holding R as well and changing the targets with the L Stick.
She spread her wings and soared up to the sky, and floating there. Her wings summoned all of the wind, then flapped her wings shot to the ground, sending me sky high to her level. I yelled as I was immersed into the air. Switching to Jet Blaster, my jetpack activated, making me float in the air. Then, the sky started to move, making the background circle around while we fight.
Aura Blade's eyes shone darkly ever before and her metal talons shot from her feet, looking like missiles that were aiming for me. Swiftly, I avoided the talon missiles that exploded after they missed their target. Then, I charged at her with Jet, with my sword in front of me, stabbing her in the chest, where I bounced off her spinning horizontally backwards. Aura Blade extended her neck at me, trying to scoop me up with her beak. I barrel rolled out of the way, and slashed her neck. Her head returned to her body, and she soared forward, going into the background, shooting green metal feathers from her wings in line curving straight towards the foreground. Boosting my way out of the attack, she then shot wind lightning bolt from her jewel engraved chest in multiple directions. Then, it became darker every shot.
I slashed my sword at nothingness when it started shooting projectiles from it. Using this, I slashed repeatedly at will, managing to eradicate the dark bolts. Then, without further hesitation, Aura Blade opened her mouth, unleashing a vortex made of wind itself, flipping me around like a ragdoll. Luckily, she left an opening for her jewel chest. I boosted to counter the vortex, keeping me in the center, floating. The vortex started to cease, giving me the chance to strike her.
Now, with my sword, I threw it at will and right at the chest like a boomerang, hoping that it will make it. Once it did, she then roared in pain, then falling to the ground below us. And that's when I knew I've beaten her. The second she was defeated, little explosions were booming on her in a frenzy.
She spun spiral to the ground, crashing in a mighty boom explosion wave of purple color, unable to continue on from this point. Descending to the ground, I stood my ground as I watched the darkness expel from Aura Blade, exposing itself as a dark ball of energy. It then fled from the top of Gale Peaks and away from this area, thus returning Aura Blade back to normal, as well as the dark sky and the wind barriers ceased and shattered like window shards. I did my victory dance, being the standing champion of this boss battle.
"Yeah, I did it!" I cheered in victory, raising my left hand in the air and my right foot out.
Dark Aura Blade has been defeated! Victory!
Exp Points: 30 points = Level Up to Level 4!
Health Points increased to 100!
Next Exp points in 30!
All stats increased by 10!
Item retrieval: Aura Potion & Wind Shield!
Ending the boss fight, I noticed Dyna Blade is back and is okay. Aura Blade opened her eyes, seeing the both of us standing there. Slowly getting up, Dyna Blade cawed happily seeing her sister okay and embraced her by hugging with their wings. I smiled at this, knowing that I was able to set Aura Blade free.
Aura Blade turns her head in my direction and rubbed her face against mine, showing her gratitude in that way. "Thank you, Kirby." She smiled.
"You're welcome, Aura Blade," I replied, dropping the Jet Blaster ability. "So, that explains why you went mad all of a sudden. You were possessed by one of Dark Matter's minions, and it made you go insane! That's why you've destroyed everything! But don't worry, you're safe now."
"CAW!" Aura Blade then smiled in response, and so did Dyna Blade.
"Dyna Blade, if I may ask, just how did you manage to get here?" I then asked.
"Well, if you want to know, Kirby, I was just flying around, when all of a sudden, a weird portal opened up in front of me, taking me here to Aura Star. I was going to see how Aura is doing anyway, and I ended up here," She explained. "That was before I caught wind of what happened back home."
"A weird portal?" I questioned.
"I don't think you know this, but everyone from different planets just suddenly disappeared like that, and everyone on Popstar, half of them disappeared, because it seems that every single person are missing on Popstar the most. And it's through these weird portals that they were taken. it's been like that ever since you left in those five days," Dyna explained.
"People are disappearing, huh?" I wondered.
"All of these portals traps them on another planet, but hardly anyone at home even appeared in any one of all of the 7 planets, starting with this one."
"That means they all could be taken to one planet or maybe… Crystal Star! That's where Dark Matter is taking Kaila! They must be behind this! I've gotta hurry now!" I panicked.
"Alright then, Kirby," Dyna said. "We'll see you around and thanks for helping Aura Blade here."
"You're welcome again. Take care!" I waved.
And just like that, Dyna and Aura Blade flapped their wings and left the top of Gale Peaks and into the endless sky in the background. Waving, I ran to the goal door, finishing Gale Peaks, and solved the flying monstrosity problem, while landing on first place in the goal game, receiving 30 stars, a 1-up, and a Metamato.
So then, the area for the Jewel Chamber has opened up for me to head to. Seeing the Jewel Chamber in sight, I ran to the next area, which is the Jewel Chamber.
Level Four: Jewel Chamber Of The Wind (This New World- Monster Tale)
Looking upon the massive ruins, the road to it was just a spiral climb to the entrance. The whole building looks like a temple or a forgotten fortress that is in the form of a wide and long rectangle with grey blocks and green vines growing on the walls like moss, while the entrance gate has two pedestals which houses the wind element and holding it in place. The whole place was floating with nothing holding it in balance, and the road was connected to Gale Peaks but I was already at the middle of the floating road, running in a spiral direction all the way up top. The second I reached the entrance gate, I saw the two wind pedestals, and the double door that had the wind element engraved on the door post.
"So this is the Jewel Chamber that Maddie spoke about. She did say that I have to pass three trials or something and do whatever at the end of this place, so… I guess I shouldn't waste any more time and go inside." I said to myself.
Walking up to the green and grey double doors, the doors automatically bolted and cracked opened at my presence, not after the wind element glowed green brightly. I gulped before entering the sacred chamber of the Soul Jewel, not before hearing the door close on the way in.
Jewel Chamber: Main Hub
I cautiously stepped forward, looking around me, seeing the place in a wreck, but somehow implicitly under good condition. Like, there was debris everywhere that strayed from the columns that support the structure of the chamber, a green carpet was showing me the way inside the chamber, and in front of me but far away on the other side was a giant door, made of white marble rocks and green is the exterior of the colored lines along the fringes of the door. The door had a weird shaped keyhole locked smack on the middle of the door having a green orb puzzle piece made of three parts of it.
Examining it closer, my eyes turned to the direction of a three-way corridor, leaving two of the doors locked and only one open. They were apart from the grand door, with one on the left, one on the right, and one up top in the middle, leading to a balcony of a circle, plus, the doors were portals by the way with its green light shining and were activated when I walked in, but trapped with locks of wind.
Just in front of me was a strange pedestal stand, which has engraved buttons or symbols or whatever there are anyway. Then, I noticed a message engraved above the weird buttons that really puzzled me, and boy, was it a long one.
"Welcome, traveler, to the sacred Jewel Chamber of the wind, the Wind Chamber. These ruins are home to the spirits of the Soul Jewel, the sacred item that once originated from planet Crystal Star, where they act with the guardians of the Gem Stars to also protect the Cosmic Heart Shard, the source of Crystal Star's energy, power, and life. But alas, the spirits of the Soul Jewels have been banished in different chambers on different planets by that Dark Force of long ago now slain by an early 200 year Star Warrior, whose name is known throughout the galaxy for many years."
"Now that they've risen again, the spirits of the Soul Jewel needs the help of a warrior with a pure heart to take them back to their planet of origin, but if you are that one with a pure heart, the spirits needs you to overcome their 3 trials to prove yourself worthy of taking them home. In here, you'll see 3 green portal doors, called the Trial Portals, and all the way in front of you is the challenge door, which on your behalf you need to collect the 3 pieces of the Wind Orb from each trial you go to in order to unlock the door, to face the final challenge. The other two doors you see here are locked and can be unlocked if you have the first Wind Orb piece and pressing the next symbol you see here. The symbols engraved here will give you a new special power that will be useful to you by collecting all 3 pieces and if you've passed all three trials. Once you've done that, combine the pieces into its regular shape and place them in the keyhole."
"The doors will open in response to the key, letting you enter the spirit's final challenge, and let you have possession of the Soul Jewel here and in other Jewel Chambers. It can also break the defenses of the Dark Barrier in Dark Forest, if you are planning to go in there. The spirit's name is Galeroy, the spirit of wind. Pass all 3 trials, and you will obtain the Soul Jewel of the Wind Chamber. The first door on the left is available for you. Good luck, warrior of pureness."- End of Message.
"So, I need to go through these doors, solve the puzzles, and collect all 3 pieces of the Wind Orb in order to open the gate in front of me." I summarized. "Seems simple enough."
The door to the first trial has been opened. Shrugging, I entered inside the first trial, in which the portal sucked me inside.
Trial 1: Sea Of Winds
Landing out of the portal door, noticing that the portal door disappeared, I looked around to see that the floor I'm standing on has a giant gap end in front of me, crumbled off before. In before the crumbled part of the platform, there was a few platforms that doesn't look stable, thin and weak. The place was well-lit, and not so dark, but light enough. From the distance with my goggles, I see the other end of this room with a piece of the Wind Orb floating over a wind pedestal.
All I have to do is cross over this large gap that has nothing but a few platforms and an endless bottomless pit, surrounded with wind power. Boy, was that deep! The, there was a sign that says this:
"This is Trial 1: The Sea Of Winds. Think of this like a moat you have to get across, only with wind. See those platforms there? They are not stable and will crumble underneath you, but however, there is another way to reach those far away platforms, but you cannot use a flying ability in this trial. Above you are Beam Links, used to swing across chasms from point A to point B. You need an ability that corresponds with Beam Links."
I gave it a thought for a while, then my head settles on an ability that acts like a whip. I then transformed into a joker like persona, with a split clown hat that is red and yellow, with a white spike headband, with my clothes and hair being red and yellow at once, and my sword had turned into a scepter that has a blue orb top and the handle golden yellow. This was the "Beam" ability that was not showed off earlier. I then figured out how I can attach the scepter to the beam link.
Use the standard B attack, the Beam Whip, to grab the Beam Link, then swing using the left analog stick and press A to jump at the right time! Exp points can be gained via trials too.
Using the Beam Whip, I cycled the beam scepter like a whip, having enough range to catch the link, swinging me back and forth and onto the unstable platform. Landing, I felt the platform crumble underneath me, so spotting another one, I whipped and grabbed the nearby Beam Link, taking me safely from the crumbling platform and onto the next one. And so the process repeats over and over again. Finally, I swung from the nearby Beam Link which took me to the end of this trial, and right at the orb piece, floating in midair.
Cautiously, I grabbed the orb piece out of the pedestal, safely and nothing bad happened.
You got the 1st piece of the Wind Orb! 2 more to go! Exp points are 10.
Then, a portal appeared on the right side for getting the orb piece. Walking inside it, I was taken back to the main hub.
Jewel Chamber: Main Hub
I fell from the ceiling, and landed in front of the pedestal thing, where the orb piece floated to the first pedestal on the left. It then unlocked the next door on the right and it just stood there, floating, that orb piece.
Then, without any hesitation, I ran into the next portal door and was sucked inside for the next trial awaiting me.
Trial 2: Double Trouble Arena
Landing outside the next portal door with it closing behind me, I jumped up from the ground and dusted myself off. Seeing an arena in front of me, looking at it with pure curiosity, I then walked some more, but not before seeing another sign.
"This is Trial 2: Double Trouble Arena. This is a fighting arena that you must take down 10 enemies down in here, and they will put up a fight, so they're not messing around. The thing is, there will be two of each enemy that you face here while the arena moves to the end of this trial, in time being, you must defeat them all before the arena stops at the orb piece, or you'll fail this trial. If you have a double wielding ability, then I suggest you make use of that."
Use the old fashioned moves of the Sword now with two blades to attack more than one flanking opponent by pressing B and with combination moves! Exp points are 10.
Come to think of it, I haven't used the Enhanced Ability, "Twin Blade" that often. So, since this requires to have a double wielding ability, I figured I'd use Twin Blade this time around. So, dropping Beam and turning into Twin Blade, I had the same two swords from before, the balled end are now black and white blade on my hat, and my goggles were on top.
So, jumping into the floating battle dome, I draw both of my weapons, ready to duke it out with whoever's coming. I felt the ground shift, now moving forward in the direction of the orb piece.
That's when the real battle begins. I then saw two giant enemies crash down from the sky, looking like Giant Waddle Dees. They ran at me, throwing a giant punch at once on me, but ducking below the attack, I spun and uppercut them with a double slice, followed by an overhead twin strike and a smash blow. The impact launched them both in the sky and exploded just like in Super Smash Bros. Next up, it was Giant Waddle Doos, who projected beam whips at me from two corners, but without thinking I threw both of my swords at them, stabbing them in the bullseye, thus killing them in one hit and I think I saw some blood spew out them, but I couldn't see that before they exploded.
After that, Bronto Burts and other enemies known started appearing, but the last 3 encountering monsters looks different, or do they look familiar, sort of? The first one looks like Blade Knight, but with two swords, the second one looks like a blue jet guy fused with Blade Knight, but with the jetpack and sword, and the third one looks small and round like how I used to look like, but this one is cyan all over, has the features of any recon robot, and that thing's looks are like a robot, but a shrimpy version with yellow eyes, white gloves, black boots, and a blaster. I don't know why they look so familiar, but if they don't have names, I'll be glad to name those three new monsters.
The Blade Knight with two swords, let's call him, "Double Knight."
The jet guy and Blade Knight fused together, I think the name would be, "Rocketeer Blade."
The robot look alike of me would be better called, "Dispatched Robomata."
After beating the tar out of all of them in time, I realize I made it to the end after beating all of those monsters. The floating arena came to a screechy halt, stopping in the orb's presence. Bouncing off the platform, I grabbed the trial's second orb piece from its pedestal.
You got the 2nd piece of the Wind Orb! 1 more to go!
Just like before, a portal appeared to the left, taking me back to the starting point all over again.
Jewel Chamber: Main Hub
Descending from the ceiling, I land in front of the pedestal, placing the next orb piece in the available pedestal along with the first one. From upon sitting it there, it cracked the lock on the last trial door that was on the stairs on top.
As usual, taking the stairs, I leap into the final trial door of this Jewel Chamber, ready to snatch the last piece like a thief.
Trial 3: Aim, Fire and Balance
Landing out of the twisted portal, again, I then come across a rocket launcher that reminds me of that rocket launcher stand from Triple Deluxe to blow some obstacles into smithereens. Looking across the horizon, the orb piece was floating on the other side, but with a dark lock guarding the captive orb. A giant gap was involved in this trial, and but above and in front of the edge of the other side was a green floating target which actually to me resembles a giant eyeball similar to Dark Matter, except besides the fact that it was green and floating, the eyelid remained closed for what could be an eternity. Then, another sign came to meet my married pair of eyeballs.
"This is Trial 3: Aim, Fire and Balance, the last trial of the Wind Chamber. In front of you is the Wind Bullet Cannon, used in previous wars by being locked in one place and fire now improved with today's latest technology and some corresponding features of these known items today. That floating ball is Wind Eye, a target being made with the purpose only to be used as a switch for other locks and doors. That eyeball acts for the switch to make the lock shatter, freeing the orb piece at once, but there'll be more than just one of those things you have to take down, and it retaliates in return to knock you off balance with your aim and shot rate; that's why this trial is called, "Aim, Fire and Balance." All you have to do is hop on the cannon, at least with something that acts like a blaster or anything close enough to it."
That's what the sign basically said: to shoot that eyeball for the lock to break on the orb piece. What kind of trials are these? I moan out an exhausted sigh from my mouth, jumping onto the cannon. The cannon was like that rocket launcher from before, but different, now that it's silver and green like the wind, the seat was like silver and grey in the form of an arcade racing seat.
The control panel was dusty grey, but in good condition at least to be working, added with 2 slot thingies that seems only compatible with a blaster; the thing looked like an empty blaster case slot for crying out loud-what else did you want me to say, huh? Looking in the front of the cannon was the bullet holes, where the ammo recoils and gets blasted from, looking color acceptable enough anyway.
Added to the thing, the two blasters were connected together in the holes of the bullet holes, along with a scope hole used for close up range above the blasters with the same shape and size of my vision screen but wider and decent like range.
It was confusing at first, but the sign said I needed to have a blaster with me-! Oh wait, why try to find one when I have an ability that lets me do that shooting practice. Now this time, I switch into Recon Automata, having my blaster in my hands right now. Inserting the blaster in the slot thing along with another one at my disposal, the cannon grabbed hold of them, taking them inside the panel, and after a few moments, the twin guns popped out in two hold up positions, making them glued in one spot allowing them to move left and right more flexible like motion control. The screen then started up, ready to fire and aim. So, I got ready with my hands and fingers on my blasters which are eager to shoot some targets.
When in Bullet Cannons, use and hold the left and right joy-cons horizontally to move around the cannon and the blasters, lock onto multiple targets or enemies in shot range from 5-10 targets with L and R, and fire with ZL and ZR using the star target in front of you. Handheld-wise, you can just use the touch screen. Make sure to not take damage as well, but if you're about to be attacked, shoot the projectile before it hits you or to counter attack if the projectile is deflectable. Exp points are 10 and are available through these types of stuff- P.S.
Then, all of a sudden, the walls gave birth to Wind Eyes through circle holes on the side, siding with the lone Wind Eye who now awakened from its slumber and is ready to attack. Steadying the reticle on the target, I then shot a blast from the cannons, unfortunately missing that Wind Eye by one foot. It starts radiating energy like a bright beacon charge of neon green, unleashing a green energy spike ball, no wait, it turns out to be very small. I was thinking to myself, "Ha, what harm can that do to me? That's gotta be the worst attack ever whoever created this!" Unfortunately, I should've remembered the one fact that all attacks can do devastating damage in any shape or form, because that small ball split into a mass attack of multiple energy balls that came forward in a circling line.
"Say hello to my little friend, suckers!" I triumphantly yelled as I unleashed the trigger, launching a sniper like blast that slashed through each and every Wind Eye trying to attack me as well as their weak attacks. Each struck Wind Eye exploded into a green fog after being hit. They made formations such as the X, the circle and even the Triforce, which I personally liked. I took them all down, feeling pretty good about myself. After the last Wind Eye exploded, the lock on the Wind Orb has shattered to pieces. I leaped off the cannon, returning my weapon back to my disposal and into my hands once again. A bridge opened up, leading to the Wind Orb. Upon following that route, I approached the Wind Orb and removed it from its shackles.
You got the 3rd piece of the Wind Orb! You obtained all 3 pieces! Now head for the gate and unlock the door! Exp. Points gained are 10.
Then, the portal appeared open, taking me out of the last trial back to the main hub room.
Jewel Chamber: Main Hub; Total Exp. Points are 30.
Landing from the ceiling one more time, I made it in front of the pedestal where the 2 other orb pieces lie in place. As I placed the last one on the available pedestal, the orb started glowing a bright green as they circled around together, thus combining into one. The light blinded me to turn away as they've become one orb ball again. The light had ceased for a while not before it struck me in the chest with a beam of light. I stumbled in pain from the smash of light, but now I feel a warm light and a new power surging inside me. It then flashed brightly once more and then it calmed down. That's when I see the Wind Orb floating in place and then moving and falling into my hands. I saw the symbol engraved inside the orb, containing the lines of the wind and it had a star in it as well. I wonder what they have to say now.
You created the Wind Orb into whole again! Now you can open the door to the main event of the Wind Chamber and take on the main challenge! You've also gained a new power moveset of special attacks called, "Chaos Overdrive!" This is a special moveset that can unlock your true power attack and destroy anyone that stands in your way in one hit K.O! You gained a special attack, "Storm Wind!" -Page 1.
The new move you gained under that category was, "Star Chaos," a starting star move where only you can use, and it's where you shoot rising stars from your hand in a deadly swarm blast like if you were doing the Kamehameha, but different in your own way. This is used without an ability. It's not that powerful, but powerful for starting off easily, and in due time, all overdrive moves will be powerful up to bat. You'll gain a total of 8 overdrive moves mainly and special moves will be common to get, and can equip up only to 4 Overdrive moves as well as 4 special moves in the ability screen when you press +. –Page 2.
In Single-Player, with all of your party members, the directional buttons serve for changing characters by pressing each directional buttons, but when in Single Player, activating your Chaos Overdrive requires you to press both ZL and ZR at the same time to unleash your special attack, while magic attacks and items requires you to press Y to open the selection of items and tap on them with the touch screen or hold Y again. If you want to switch overdrive moves or use a different one, don't worry-the way you put them in will go in order. But to use a Chaos Overdrive attack too much will result in a temporary unavailability to use them. The 6 stars above your health bar acts as to how much you can use special and overdrive moves. Once the last star is used, you can't use your overdrive moves anymore, so the only way to refill up on SP is to equip an accessory that regenerates your SP or use an item. This will apply to each character, but not in a group way. They each have their own individual SP, so no need to worry about that and it slowly regenerates but in a long time, so be wary! -Page 3.
If you are using both Joy-Cons to play in Multi-Player while everyone else is using the various kinds of controllers compatible with Switch, then feel free to use the directional buttons for your overdrive and special moves. Every 3 levels you will obtain a special move, and overdrive moves are only obtainable through Jewel Chambers, so remember that, alright? -Page 4 End.
Sorry you had to read that. Anyway, after I've finished with that long explanation, I rushed over to the grand door, placing the Wind Orb inside the lock. It glowed brightly, showing the symbol of the wind as the tumblers unlock themselves like grinding gears, making the door open slowly. The door starts chanting as the doors made themselves available to enter inside.
As I walked inside the door, there was a Star Point, in which I went and saved my progress, and the results were shown here.
Progress Saved! Showing results…

With that out of the way, I walked inside the grand door with no hesitation, ready to face whatever is waiting behind this door of wonders. Then, the doors closed behind me on the way in, showing that there's no turning back.
Jewel Chamber: Spirit Arena- The Gem Soul of Wind
Stepping forward and ever deeper into the room, I couldn't see a thing for a while, because it was too misty and dark as well. My mind was filled with kind of scared thoughts, for I don't know what to expect now. Then, I alter my vision on a floating light in the middle of this dark void that looks like it resembles a jewel… no, that must be the Soul Jewel!
Its mind aurora of power corresponds in green, with the shape of it looking like a crescent moon, on the day of a solar eclipse that was almost full like a pie holding the half shaped hole on the right side with a star hanging in the center of the hole, looking altogether like a moon, this time the color is gale green, resembling the element of wind. I could feel the flows of wind itself blowing like a wind storm like never before, or is it just me feeling the coldness? Slowly, I reached for the chance to get a closer look at it, enticed by the jewel calling out to me, and I was reaching for it…
Closer…
Closer…
Closer…
Just a bit there…
"POP!" The jewel then unexpectedly just disappears from my grasp the second I was about to grab it!
"What? It was right there! How?!" I stammered relentlessly. "Who?!"
"Heh. What do we have here? Someone here to challenge me to a duel, I see." An anonymous voice just boomed around the dark, misty void of my vision.
"Who are you?" I demanded. "Show yourself, whoever you are!" I turned around to see whoever's saying that. Is it an ambush, or an illusion?
"Hmm… Your heart is full of… Confidence, Bravery, and Kindness. Plus, pink all over. So, you're the one who passed my trials, huh? I must commend you, pink boy." It said, sounding so much like a man's voice or maybe a teen's voice frequency. "If you are able to pass the trials, congratulations, which means your heart is pure angelic and flawless."
"Well, I mean, they weren't that much of a trial, but it was interesting, to say the least. I actually got to use a cannon, finally, so I must thank you for that as well, also with this special move or whatever this is," I shrugged. "Oh, and I'm not just a pink boy, by your definition, man."
"Feisty, eh? You do have a lot of potential inside you, giving you the strength to carry on your adventures. That's unusual for a boy to have that kind of power that is most capable of containing the galaxy inside you. You've made it this far, well, at least starting, I suppose. I must say, you have the fighting spirit of that Star Warrior himself, and you somehow resemble him, in a way." He observed.
"You can see my... whatever it is you just said? Who are you, if you can do that?" I asked.
"Glad you asked, because it's time for your final test of my chamber, pink boy. Behold, The Spirit Arena!" He said, with a snap of his fingers, although I couldn't see him.
Then, light emitted from a tiny ball that grew and extended, lighting up the whole room, ridding the dark and misty void. It revealed a room made of a sparring arena, but the center has a giant hole in the green and gray floor. The walls were circular around the room and I could see the door that led the way out of here. But my eyes were fixed upon a giant statue that was glued to the middle of the floor. It was just a rubble of grey stone blocks that looked nothing like a statue, no lie. But something about those rocks seems… suspicious in some way. They seem to reform pieces of a person statue that has been chopped off the body and were donated here to rust away with no proper care. My eyes darted to the sight of two large fists, stapled to the wall like stapled papers and posters in execution for no reason.
I backed up a little, not knowing what to expect. I dropped my last ability earlier, so I only had my sword with me. I got into a pose with my hand on my back, grabbing the handle that is tucked away in the sheath, ready to draw it when the time is right, my left foot is in the front while my right foot is in the back, spread away in the opposite direction of the front foot, my body position is lurched forward a little bit for me to reach my sword, and my left hand was raised to my body, with it being clenched.
"W-what is this? What are you?! Who are you, answer me now?!" I asked. Then, the same voice came back to taunt me, and then he whistles, like right on cue for something.
"Pink boy, time for your special trial, a duel, you may say. I am a spirit of this jewel, the Gem Soul guardian, Galeroy!" He introduced. "Prepare yourself, pink boy! Face the awesome power of Stone-Galeroy if you want this Soul Jewel and prove yourself worthy!"
"Tch!" I grunted as I saw the rocks rumble from the ground, rising in command to their master, combining all together to form… a STONE GIANT?! Its face looks similar to Wham Bam Rock, in a way, now looking green this time-wait, Wham Bam Rock?!
"Wham Bam Rock?! You serious, man? I'd never seen that guy since The Great Cave Offensive. Trying to be like the other guy, aren't ya?" I reacted.
"My boy, you ready to get it on, or are you just getting ready to fit into your chicken outfit?" The spirit teased.
"Hey! I am not a chicken!" I shouted, pissed off now, stomping my left foot hard. "I never chicken out on ANYTHING AT ALL!"
"Then PROVE it, on the battlefield! Let's see what kind of power you have that got you this far, and I won't hold back at all!" He spoke through the replica of Wham Bam Rock, forming gestures with his hands.
"Alright then. BRING IT!" I challenged. "I'll show you who's chicken now!"
"Now that's the spirit! Let's go, pink boy! Prove yourself worthy of my Soul Jewel!" He yelled. The stone rock face then summoned his fists from the walls, becoming the next Master and Crazy Hand. Then, after summoning his two hands, he gave a mighty battle cry to start the battle off.
"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Duel Alongside The Jewel Spirits- 2nd Boss Battle
Kirby VS Solid Wind-Galeroy (Fighting of the Spirits- Tales of Symphonia)
Boss Description: This is the spirit of wind himself, also known as Galeroy. He's the first Soul Jewel spirit that was made to guard alongside with the Gem Spirits until… they were banished. Now, he awaits those with pure hearts and the will to take him and the others home to Crystal Star again. He controls wind, and he inhabited stones that formed the look alike of Wham Bam Rock. Be warned: He can go hardcore on you in anyway possible.
Appearances: Kirby Super Star/Ultra (Wham Bam Rock specifically, now called Wham Bam Wind in this story)
Solid Wind-Galeroy has challenged you to a duel!
"Get ready to brawl, pink boy!" He taunted. Making his hands rise to the air, he smacked both of his fists in a battle cry. The floor shifts into a straight line as the background turns dark, showing the face of Wham Bam Rock look alike. Now this is the real setting of the original boss fight with the real Wham Bam Rock.
"Let's do this!" I pointed. Accepting the conquest, he smirk with his avatar face as he mimicked his hands to attack. He launched a smashing fist into the ground like he's doing an objection in court or just pounding the ground. Back flipping out of the way, I dashed at the open hand, cutting it like I'm chopping onions or slashing falling stuff.
It didn't stay that long and it vanished, just like the original Wham Bam Rock does. Appearing again, he lowered his fist to the ground, charging up like a rocket. Once he slammed it forward, I double jumped out of its attack radius, timing it right for a downward thrust that went through the rocky hand. It disappeared again.
Reappearing again, Wham Bam Rock- no, let's call him, "Wham Bam Wind" for now, then pointed his hand at me and did it like a gun. When he opened fire, the hand just left, unleashing a rock slide storm, a homing attack. Luckily, I've obtained the Wind Shield from the fight with Aura Blade, so by this item, I activated the shield to defend myself.
Wind Shield Activated! 5 Stars left!
The shield placed me in a green barrier ball that fitted my size like we're in Super Smash Bros. The sounds of rocks crumbled against the sheer power of the shield, also reflecting them right back at the face and the visible hand at once. Galeroy then flinched heavily just like Aura Blade from the petrifying sheen of hard rocks.
"Like POW! How you like me now?!" I taunted. "Is that all you got, huh? I'd expected something more challenging, so it looks like I've won. Ha!" I said, holding my sword over my back. Galeroy, from the cracked body then shook it off, and then he spits out a rock from his mouth that looked red.
"Not bad, pink boy. I must commend you for that. But the fun's just getting started! Let's see how you deal with THIS!"
Phase Two Activated!
He roared as he changed the arena from the original fighting style to a circular format and the background became white and wind starts to pour in as if it was acting as water being pouring in a glass. The wind starts to blow heavily, sparring around the arena, and it was starting to blow me off the floor if it could. Floating platforms appeared on the curves of the arena for some reason.
"What is this wind?! Are you trying to blow me away, literally?!" I raised an eyebrow on that question.
"Wait till you see what I have in store for you, pink boy!" He said as the replica moved out of the center with both stone hands at his mercy. I guess it's time to fight stone with stone, man, that didn't sound right when I thought it. Galeroy's clearly has something up his sleeve, I can tell. So I simply thought in my mind, and mini brown energy lines came from nowhere, entering inside and transforming me.
Transforming Ability: Stone
"Huh, he seems to have change forms, I see. Just like the Legendary Star Warrior, but let's see what he's going to do with that."
Becoming Stone by doing that, I saw the hands appearing side to side in a fist. One of them starts rolling up a wind up punch, and its speed was increasing by the second. He then was about to throw his fist literally, but did he pull off a 360 degree turn, shooting his fist in the opposite direction. The spin off took me aback by surprise, seeing it fly around the arena like crazy.
The flying fist then stopped doing all of that crazy flying, then readied its punch on me, pushing back, then releasing his anger. The incoming bullet fist suddenly gave me an idea on something crazy to try. I developed the idea while I was doing Tango with the other fist, who did odd slice attacks and starts punching, but I countered that by smashing it with my knuckles.
Since I have stone knuckles on me, I decided to give it a shot. I stood my ground, and I noticed the other hand doing the block punch hand, meaning that they were gonna trap me and crush me in a fist lock. Galeroy looked like he was gonna win this fight.
"Ha-ha-ha! I've got you now, pink boy! Try to escape this one alive!" He said, in "looks like he's gonna win this one," expression.
"Heh, that's what you think, Galeroy!" I said, suppressing a smirk on my face.
"Just what are you thinking to do, boy?" He demanded. "You gonna cry in your chicken outfit?"
"I told you, I am not a chicken, nor do I EVER chicken out on anything, and I'll be willing to take that risk if it's gonna lift me higher!" My voice boomed. "If a situation like this, there's only one thing left to do if you're about to get crushed; there's one place you can go!"
"And where's that, pink boy?" Galeroy taunted. "Where else can you escape?!"
"Simple: like THIS!" I yelled.
The fist was about this close to squish me with its charged up wind fist, but the second it was at the point of no escape for me, I waved at Galeroy, "bye-bye," then simply just leap into the air and onto the floating platform, like a last minute dodge, accidentally with the charging fist crashing into the other hand, knowing that it was screwed to pieces, knocking each other out to the floor. The head of Wham Bam Wind was stunned as well, giving me an opening to strike. But what was I planning to do, you may ask, is really what I never did with Stone before.
"What? Y-you e-escaped m-my a-attack?! B-but h-how?!" Galeroy stammered, stunned.
"If you're going down, you can only go up, and now you're going down!" I stated, preparing my special plan.
Using the awesome power of Stone, I picked up the two rocky fists fallen to the ground with ease. The hands wiggled tirelessly to escape me, but they've failed. Summoning all of my strength, I threw the twin hands over my shoulder, smashing them into the ground and over and over again. Galeroy hollered in pain, and when I was done, I made lots of cracks in the hands. I turned to face the stunned Galeroy, with both of his fists pointing at him.
"Well, Galeroy, looks like you're screwed." I spoke, ready to smash him with his own two fists. Then, forming the hands into fists, I got into the rebound position to swing at him. I was charging up my attacks, feeling the energy flow inside me.
"No! It can't be-" He started to say.
"Haaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" I screamed, firing my laser punches. Then, once I was filled up, that's when I let it rip!
"EAT!" I yelled, punching him with his own left hand.
"MY!" I yelled again, swinging him with his own right hand. Then, leaping in the air, I did one last charge up attack with both fists, as if I was going to do a slam dunk on Wham Bam Wind. That's when I gave the last blow all I've got.
"FIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTSSS!" Is the last thing I yelled before I slam dunk the stone fists right back at him, pwning him in the face, thus ending the return of Wham Bam Rock. The two fists shatter into a million rock shards, followed by mini explosions that crawled up all over his face look alike, throwing him back into the center, and giving the biggest explosion off wave yet.
"ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled in admitting his own defeat. I knew I've won this trial and how! I did my victory dance, spinning and doing the peace sign in a victory pose, beaming brightly.
"Yeah! I passed the trial! Who's the chicken now, Galeroy?" I cheered, being the champion of The Spirit Arena.
Solid Wind-Galeroy has been defeated! Victory!
Exp points= 20 + 10 points. Level up to level 5! (Bonus for No damage)
Health Bar increased to 120!
All stats increased by 10!
All abilities has evolved and upgraded!
Items gained: Revive Star & Aura Metamato!
Next Level 6 by 70 exp points!
After the list of what I've gained passed, the Wham Bam Wind reformed and turned back to stone, shattering into little pieces, just like how it used to be from the start. The wind ceased its defenses, fading away into nothingness. I looked upon the crushed up Wham Bam, or at least what's left of him. That guy was hard to beat earlier before with only one hand and his health is stiff. Oh well, that's the last time we'll ever hear from that guy again. I then was startled by the sound of Galeroy, who appeared before me as a ray of green radiant light.
Then, the light begins to mold a person, a boy that looked just like my old form, with green hair and skin, with the feet being dark green. His eyes are green, he has green blush marks on his cheeks, his mouth was a decent neutral smile, and he had a green scarf that was wrapped around and below his mouth, but in a good distance between his feet and his mouth. Galeroy looked just like me, but different; he had his stubby arm holding his other stubby arm in pain. My eyes could not stop looking at this spirit as he began to speak.
"Ugh… looks like I've underestimated you, pink boy. I admit my defeat to the hands of a child. You've proven that you have the pure heart, and the qualities of a caring hero. It makes sense to why someone like you passed a spirit's trials. I think we've got ourselves a winner!" He said.
"Um, thanks, I guess," I shyly chuckled, not sure of what else to say. "We're cool now?"
"Definitely, pink boy. And now that you've passed my main trial, I now deem you worthy of my Soul Jewel, so here you go!" He snaps his fingers through his stubby hands somehow, showing another floating platinum light that was also shining green. The Luna shaped soul jewel was floating in front of me, falling into my hands. I raised the jewel in the air, like I gained a new item, and I did.
Congratulations! You've obtained the Wind Soul Jewel! This like the opposite of the Gem Stars, this time looking like a moon shaped crescent with a star gem floating in the middle. You've received this for passing all 3 trials of this Jewel Chamber and beaten the spirit, Galeroy, in battle! Now you have to take this Jewel back home, and it's not over yet! You have to pass other trials and retrieve the other spirit's Soul Jewels. They can break the dark barrier in specific areas, which is also the boss stage, so be prepared!
Now placed in Key Items section. 1/7 Soul Jewels and 0/7 Gem Stars collected! Good Luck, Kirby!
"Hah, doing that like Link, aren't ya?" Galeroy smirked. I just shrugged at that. I guess it was in the right mood, so why not? "Hey, there's something that rubs me off about you in a way. When we fought, you've seemed to gain a new form of Stone, just like the Star Warrior, Kirby. How are you able to do that, pink boy?" He asked.
"Oh, that's easy- Copy Ability, that's how," I answered. "Oh, and my name's Kirby, not just Pink Boy." He kinda stood back when I told him who I was.
"No way! You're KIRBY, THE LEGENDARY STAR WARRIOR HIMSELF, AS A HUMAN?! That actually explains how you've passed the trials in the first place! No 16 year old teens or older fighters would never step foot here and pass them all of a sudden. Your heart is bursting with pure heartiness, you have love and care inside, and you possess the most powerful ability in the known universe! Pink boy- I mean, Kirby, you are the galaxy's only hope now, I hope you know that," He explained with wisdom. I nodded for everything he spoke to me.
"Glad we established that."
"So, since you are here anyway, I can tell you're here for a reason, is that right?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Let me guess: You crashed here by an old enemy, the master of pure darkness, Dark Matter, in an attempt to save Princess Kailaine, taken care of by Merina and Maddie for 5 days, your friends are poisoned except for you and your sister, and when you've found out about us, you came here to receive our help to stop this mad darkness before they take over the galaxy, did I get it right?" He summarized before I can even say it.
"Yeah, that's right! But how did you-" I started to say.
"No need to tell me, because I knew you were Kirby from the moment you stepped through the doors of the chamber, passed each trial, and during our duel, I was playing dumb, to be honest, and sorry about that whole thing earlier. I just love to mess with people, get them mad. So, I'm pretty sure that you need some help to rescue all the other Gem Stars and save Princess Kailaine from Dark Matter after all. Being in this form, I can tell that they've cursed you and everyone on Planet Popstar, also causing weird side effects on anybody that is an animal or a creature, like Dyna Blade here was able to speak now, which is why you understand her and Aura Blade, and there's at least one Bird Blade on each planet, making them all brothers and sisters," He explained the reasons behind the things that happened. "I was just messing with you from the start."
"Wow, you sure know a lot of what's going on around you," I complimented.
"Why, thank you, Kirby. Anyway, your sister is okay now, and she recovered from the dark poison curse while you were making a course here, and don't worry about your friends: they'll be okay, unless the poison kills them first within 1 hour; maybe half an hour for the fat guy. Now, the only way to finish this planet level is basically the last thing on our to-do list: When you have completed all levels of the world stage, it is ALWAYS required to take down the boss of this world to move on to the next world. So, that's our main goal now, Kirby. Also, I hear that Emerald crashed into Dark Forest, home of the great talking tree, Aura Woods. He's now gone hostile because of Dark Matter and kidnapped people and held them captive. We have to rescue Emerald at once!" He said. "Consider this your trial exam, Star Warrior. You'll get your diploma if you can defeat the dark villain and free him. Are you ready to endure this challenge?"
"You said it, Galeroy! Let's go get the Gem Star from that dark tree!" I declared.
"That's more like it!" He smiled, whistling on cue for the grand door to open. The double doors cracked open for us to go through, obeying their master at his command. Galeroy went inside the Soul Jewel, flying straight into the doors of ascending light. I sprinted behind, bouncing from the arena and into the light door, following the free soul spirit straight out the door, finishing the level of the Wind Chamber. Going into the Goal Game, I blasted out of the cannon and into first place, doing my dance and receiving 30 stars, a 1-up, and a Metamato.
Level Four Complete!
Outside on the planet map, Galeroy, inhabiting the jewel, flew sky high into the air, absorbing a multitude of green energy, then unleashing a bolt of energy on the barrier, eradicating it like a tumbling tower, not after cracking like pieces. Then, the whole remains of the barrier shattered, lifting up the curse from the forest of terror.
Galeroy has destroyed the Dark Barrier, unlocking the road to the boss of this world! Now you can enter Dark Forest Labyrinth and challenge the boss!
"Well, the barrier is down on Dark Forest," Galeroy pointed. "Now, we can confront the dark tree and rescue Emerald from their grasp!"
"Alright, let's do this," I nodded. Now walking into the boss stage, I was ready to take on the fiend of this planet. Then, we both entered inside the Dark Forest, hoping to save the Gem Star.
Would you like to save your progress and exit? Yes.
Now Saving… Save Complete! Returning To Title Screen…
To Be Continued…
End of Chapter 1 Act 3!
Author's Note Summary:
Finally, Chapter 6 is done after two weeks! I'm really sorry about the delay from before, readers. I had some things going on lately, and it really delayed me from writing, plus I was also planning the next worlds, characters and bosses. This also took me about 34 pages and 14,565 words to write, so tiring, I know! So, here's a few things I'm gonna mention about what you've seen in the chapter.
If you are confused and would want to know where I really got the battle system from, I used a reference from one of my favorite GBA games called, "Summon Night Swordcraft Story", an old RPG game where you are a Craftknight Apprentice, and the gimmick here is that instead of getting and buying weapons, you must make your own weapons by collecting materials along with your Guardian Beast, your companion that you pick on your own, and you must fight with your created weapon. The battle mode is not like any other. You fight in a side scrolling mode where you are allowed to move, jump, attack, block, and use magic spells freely with ease. It's a really fun game in my opinion, even if it's not that well known. That's also where I got the 6 star magic and item limit from. The only downside is that your weapon has durability and can break in battle, leaving you with a hammer- the only weapon that doesn't break, and once you've used all of your magic in one battle, you can't use anymore until it ends, so you have to use it wisely. Other than that, it's a really fun and epic game, and I recommend this to anyone who likes RPGs like this one.
The bosses in this chapter were references to Kirby Super Star, with Dyna Blade and the return of Wham Bam Rock. The thing about Aura Blade being Dyna's sister is not real, or the thing about there's more than one Bird Blade, so that's not real, but it's fan-made by me, duh! Any expert Kirby fan should know that! The trials don't seem like one, but I made them "Ability Based", featuring the potential of each ability like those Challenge Rooms in Kirby's Return to Dreamland and Dream Collection, with each of them supposedly made for certain things. So that's how the Chamber system will work. Also, I've added Boss Descriptions just like the other 3 best Kirby games before and the sentences before it says boss battle are the names of the boss fight via the soundtrack name, so it's a nice touch if you agree with me.
The last thing I wanna say is that I'm currently updating the main chapters, so that was another one of those delays, because it took me that long to realize that I've forgot to add something in them or forgot to make changes in the dialogue or the story sequences, and I've been changing the prologue a lot lately because that was the main chapter that needed those changes. It also connects to chapters 3 and 5, so you could skip the part of the girl's dream if you want to. The final last thing is that the title is now changed to: "Kirby and the Legendary Crystal Princess: An RPG Tale" so that's the last thing I wanna say. This story was not only to entertain you, but to support a Kirby RPG for the next Kirby game, so if anyone wants that, then this might be just for you; this is my version, though, so keep that in mind, ok?
Now that's been taken care of, next time on chapter 7, apparently, Kirby and Galeroy will confront the beast known as Aura Woods to rescue Emerald along with a new character that is tagging with them, and after this fight, with the gang all recovered, they set off to the next planet! Let me know what you think of this in your reviews, and I'll try to improve or change whatever's wrong with this to you. Anyway, sorry you had to read all of that note and have a nice day! Byyeee!
