Hello, everybody. First off, this chapter might not be so good because I was feeling SUPER lazy doing this. In fact, the stage is incomplete. But what can ya expect when you have SO much going on. :/
Chapter 46: The Past and Now
Over the atmosphere of Planet Wisp
The main team entered hyperspace after leaving Halcandra and were now flying to a gorgeous green planet ahead of them. "And lo and behold, folks: Planet Wisp in all its former glory." Magolor reported. "Ever since the defeat of the Tallest, the Wisps and Irkens have been living together in peace. They shut down most of the factories, brought back the clear blue skies, and the landscape is as pretty as ever."
"Starlight shines so bright, colors feels so right!" Marx cheered.
"Oi, not quite today." Blade Knight replied. "It looks loike the Brotherhood's attacking this place, too."
"A bit of irony in that case, eh?" Sword Knight said.
"Heh. No problem." Sonic snickered. "Me and Uno saved this planet before, we'll save it again."
"Come on, guys! Let's kick some butt!" Jirachi cheered.
As the ships were headed into Planet Wisp's atmosphere, two certain interdimensional hunters were watching them. "Hm, criminals always return to the scene of the crime, no?" Death's Head said. "What say we give Dimentia a colorful pummeling?"
The Galacta Knight said nothing, only waved his silver sword around and flapped his angel wings, taking off for the planet. Death's Head boosted his rockets and charged after him.
On the surface of Planet Wisp, the colorful little aliens fled and cowered away as their world was being invaded by Stormtroopers and Eggman robots with the Irkens fighting them back. The Ex-invader Zim laughed maniacally as he fired a machinegun at the many soldiers. "YES! FLEE, foolish robo creatures and men in plastic armor, for you are no match for General ZIM! !"
Tak angrily ran up and smacked the ex-invader across the face. "ZIM, you IDIOT! You were shooting our own soldiers!"
Zim looked in the direction he was shooting to see many Irken soldiers gripping their wounded legs, one of them shouting, "My leg!"
"Oh. Uh… I knew that! They were just… They were WARM-UPS! Yeah!"
"D'oh. Why Mother Wisp put you in charge here, I'll never know!"
The heroes' ships came down from the sky as they launched out in their mini ships and started shooting down TIE Fighters. Nigel, Rachel, Dimentia, and Meta Knight decided to land beside Zim and Tak in the center of the hundreds of Irkens and Wisps in the warzone. "Zim!" Nigel called out.
"Hey! How've you guys been?" Zim shouted over the sounds of his machinegun, taking out robots.
"We're looking for-" Before Dimentia could finish, the gunshots and brawls suddenly stopped as all the Wisps and Irkens turned and stared angrily at her. "Uh…"
"Hey! What's she doing here?!" a Speed Wisp shouted.
"Trying to use our negative energy again, I bet." a Drill Wisp accused.
"Not before I SPIKE her butt!" a Spike Wisp shouted, and soon, all Wisps gave cries and charged for their most-hated former leader, who held her arms up in defense as Nigel and Rachel got in their way.
"WAIT!" Rachel screamed. "Can ya at LEAST give her a little time to explain herself?"
The many colorful aliens all exchanged glances, and the Speed Wisp replied, "You got 10 seconds!"
"Alright, look." Dimentia started. "I didn't come here as a criminal looking for trouble, and I certainly don't want ANY trouble." But just then, a barrage of plasma shots rained down and exploded all over the ground, scaring the Wisps off.
The kids looked up as Death's Head and Galacta Knight hovered down. "Dimentia Z. Winkiebottom, by the power vested in me, by Dr. Fate, it is with great honor that I place you under arrest for escaping Underworld Prison." The robot spoke. "Sounds good, no?"
"Ugh. Not you two again." Dimentia groaned.
"It is Death's Head and the Galacta Knight." Meta Knight replied. "The interdimensional bounty hunter and the cursed Star Warrior."
"Death's Head?" Rachel asked. "Where've I seen him before…"
"The cursed Star Warrior?" Nigel asked.
"He wields the dark powers of the Negative Galaxia Sword." Meta Knight said as Galacta Knight drew out his silver sword, sparking with lightning.
Sonic ran beside them and said, "I'll look for Mother Wisp. You guys handle 'em for now." With that, the hedgehog ran off, leaving the rest of the gang to deal with the two dimensional beings. (Play "Classic Planet Wisp" from Sonic Generations.)
Stage 40: Planet Wisp
Mission: Find the Mother Wisp!
Sonic raced around the grassland, using his Boost to burst through some squads of Stormtroopers. He quickly turned left, coming to a narrow trench area where he had to Home Attack off some Paratroopas. He landed on a platform on the left wall, viewing a distant lower platform on the right wall as he jumped and Boosted over. Sonic jumped on and ran across some Mario blocks that lined up in midair, arriving at the edge of a forest area. Sonic Home Attacked the Stormtroopers occupying the area, then Wall Jumped up an Imperial Walker's legs to break inside and wreck it up. Afterwards, an Ivory Wisp shaped like a lightning bolt appeared. Having never seen this power, Sonic absorbed it and called, "LIGHTNING!"
He morphed into a body of electricity. Sonic then noticed the metal parts around the thin trees, using a lightning beam to grab the lowest one and whirl around. He threw himself to a higher one on another tree, and repeated the process until he was facing another trench. Sonic swung to the floated lightning bars between floating mechanical pods, using them to get across this canyon. The Color Power wore off by the time he made it to the end. Sonic raced across the grass field, going up a hill that curved left and went down, then he jumped onto a small field with Ice Bros.. Sonic knocked each of them out with Home Attacks, and their defeat caused a pole to rise up in the middle of the field.
Sonic did a tornado and whirled up the pole, flinging himself to the ledge at the top and going across a wide open field. Just then, Sonic noticed two Hammer Bros. dressed in blue racing armor run beside him; it appeared that they were Speed Bros.. The left one elbowed left to push Sonic, but the hedgehog jumped and raced faster, but the Speed Bros. were gaining on him. They were running across a long metal bridge, and the Bros. were desperately trying to push Sonic over the edge. Their attacks made him exhausted, and he couldn't run faster to get away as a result. …So instead, Sonic slowed down and tricked one Koopa into running off. He smirked and did the same with the other Koopa.
Sonic located a base and made his way inside, where he found the Mother Wisp bounded by several electrical chains around her tentacles, giving her painful shocks. The hedgehog looked around at the four chain generators around the circular room, guarded by Eggman robots. Sonic dashed around the room and took out all the robots, using his Home Attack to destroy the shackles.
Mother Wisp stopped groaning when the electricity stopped, opening her eyes and looking down at her savior. "Thank you… Sonic."
The hedgehog looked up at the spirit and smiled. (End song.)
With Dimentia and the others
"Dimentia." Meta Knight spoke as he readied his sword. Nigel and Rachel were there as well. "You must not fear. Stand true and fight!"
"Yeah… I will." (Play Galacta Knight's Theme from Kirby Superstar Ultra!)
Boss fight: Death's Head & Galacta Knight
Death's Head fired his plasma rifle at the heroes, but they split up before the shot exploded. Galacta Knight charged at Meta Knight, and the two were in a fast-paced, airborne sword clash. Rachel leapt behind Death's Head and tried to strike him, but the robot turned and held up his axe in defense, swinging around at Rachel in the air. The blonde flipped back as Death's Head felt some flames pummel him from behind, flying behind Nigel, grabbing him by the neck, and tossing him at Rachel.
Meta Knight's sword was knocked away by Galacta Knight, but Dimentia shot Space Lightning from behind the cursed warrior, who held up his sword and absorbed the lightning. The knight then quickly charged forward and struck Dimentia horizontally. He then performed a jump strike, but Dimentia dodge-rolled away, Galacta Knight sending a shockwave from his sword to a tall tree and blowing it up.
Death's Head drew out his harpoon, and the two hurriedly dodged as he fired at them, missing and hitting a building in the distance. He kept trying to shoot at Nigel as the Brit flew around with his jet shoes, but kept missing and destroying more buildings. Rachel then leapt up and grabbed Death's Head's leg, the robot trying to shake her off. He failed as Rachel climbed up and struck his back a little before the robot was finally able to shake free. Nigel flew into him as a fireball and pushed him to the ground right away.
Meta Knight recovered his sword and flew to clash at Galacta Knight some more, but the pink knight was still able to fight back. Dimentia threw a Starburst at Galacta Knight from behind, then quickly flew away as he turned angrily at her, starting to chase the spacebender. Meta Knight chased Galacta while he chased Dimentia, flying past many Irken-made buildings. The Dark Galaxia-wielding knight charged his sword and fired lasers at Dimentia, who dodged and allowed the lasers to destroy the buildings.
One of the walls he destroyed revealed Cleveland Brown in his bathtub, already beginning to slide down. "No no no no NO NOOO!" He fell from the high ground and his bathtub shattered. "Ah really begin to question my choices in particular abodes."
Nigel pelted a few flames in Death's Head's face before the robot finally swatted him off and stood back up. He saw Rachel coming from behind and swerved to the side before she could strike down. He held up a shield when Rachel dealt more slashes against him. She suddenly fired her Hookshot and pulled the shield away, then landed a few slashes at him.
Dimentia barely dodged when Galacta Knight came close and swung his sword, but was suddenly pushed to the ground by Meta Knight, the two rolling for a bit before they stopped and faced each other. The two knights flew at each other and started pushing against the other's sword. Galacta Knight finally swung, but Meta Knight flipped back, charged, and swung at him some more.
At this time, Nigel was carrying Rachel as he flew while Death's Head chased them to a park area. The hunter kicked away Rachel's arrows that she shot at him before deciding to fly into a portal. The two looked around for him before they were suddenly kicked to the ground when he appeared above them. Death's Head landed a few feet away as the kids quickly recovered, throwing their projectiles at him. Just when he was about to fire another plasma shot, Kirby shot down on his Warp Star and inhaled the plasma, becoming Plasma Kirby and firing powerful electric barriers, pushing the robot back. "Pah." Kirby cheered in victory.
When Death's Head saw Nigel and Rachel running towards him, he quickly recovered and said, "I do not wish to harm you kids. I am only here to bring Dimentia back to prison. She has escaped, no?"
"Yah, but it was sort of planned by Clockwork." Rachel replied.
"Clockwork? You mean the Time Spirit, yes?"
"Yes, and he restored her youth because SHE is Jirachi's Guardian!" Nigel yelled.
Death's Head looked a little confused now. "Is this true-"
"YES!"
"Hmm… Perhaps Kent Nelson has made a mistake, no? Galacta Knight: let us retreat for now, yes? Oh?" Several feet away, part of a building exploded when Galacta Knight shoved Meta Knight through it, forcing him to the ground. Dimentia tried to zap him from the air, but Galacta Knight dodged and started shooting his laser around, tearing down the tops of other buildings and making them crumble, barely crushing the former leader before she teleported. "Galacta Knight? You are doing more destruction than good, no?"
His non-speaking partner glanced at him before deciding to fly around and shoot at other buildings. He flew up to some TIE Fighters overhead and struck the Stormtrooper pilots inside, making them crash and cause other buildings to crumble. "He is going on a rampage!" Meta Knight shouted.
"It must be part of that curse." Rachel figured. "He's not listening."
"Galacta Knight. Stop now, yes?" Death's Head yelled before flying after the uncontrollable Star Knight, accompanied by Meta Knight and Nigel. He used his lasers to slice more buildings in half as the three tried to hold him back, but only spun and knocked them away.
Rachel and Dimentia looked with terror when they saw the rubble about to crush two Irken kids and their parents. "They're about to get squashed!" Rachel yelled.
Dimentia immediately flew over and made a barrier appear above the Irkens, allowing the rubble to fall beside them. "What? You?!" the Irken father yelled at Dimentia.
"Geez, can someone NOT greet me like that for once?" Dimentia said frustrated. She then gasped when she saw a few more citizens about to be crushed, quickly waving her hands and teleporting them to a safer spot away from the rubble. She spotted some Wisps cowering in fear by the ground, about to be struck by Galacta Knight, so Dimentia quickly jumped in his way, thankfully saved when Death's Head landed on him and started to battle.
"Huh? Oh great, not you again!" a Speed Wisp with a curly antenna shouted.
"Ugh." Dimentia groaned, turning to them. "Look, I know I wasn't the greatest person in Galaxia before, but trust me, I'm different now, and my hatred toward adults is GONE!"
"Oh, I wouldn't so sure about that." Dr. Eggman Nega smirked, flying down to them with a Darkness Cannon.
"Huh? Who are you?"
"It's time to revive your TRUE colors. Enjoy." With that, the Negative scientist charged the weapon and fired a direct hit on Dimentia. (End song.)
She was shown visions of her days back on Zathura, where the adults forced her to perform in the circus. She could feel her hatred returning, for the adults that enslaved her, her breakup with Darkrai, the operatives that stood against her, and when Nigel Uno finally dealt her in.
"Ah ha ha ha!" Eggman Nega laughed, flying away when Nigel and Rachel arrived to see her on the ground, panting.
"Dimentia? Are you-" Nigel tried to say.
"Nnrgh!" Dimentia growled, immediately pushing the bald leader away with lightning. Before Rachel could react, Dimentia flipped over her and started throwing Starbursts at every adult Irken in her sights, with vicious, angry eyes, and gritted teeth, glowing with a red aura.
"Dimentia! Stop!" Rachel yelled.
"These adults… they DESTROYED ME! You ALL did…" The Zathurian took to the skies and started warping TIE Fighters closer to the ground, making them almost hit other citizens. Nigel flew up to grab the former galactic leader and pulled her to the ground. Death's Head was about to grab her, but was struck from behind by Galacta Knight. Before he could strike again, Meta Knight came and dealt a few more quick slashes. Galacta Knight turned and clashed against Meta Knight some more before he was able to scratch Galacta Knight's mask. The pink knight just waved him off and flapped his angel wings, taking off from the planet.
Dimentia pushed Nigel over to Rachel and started hurting both of them with lightning, making the couple scream in pain. "Oi! What the heck is your deal, Dimentia?!" Marine shouted. The chipper raccoon girl spun her right arm around and charged an energy ball, using it to punch Dimentia from behind.
The spacebender stopped firing her lightning as the red aura faded away. "Ohh…" The former leader fell to her knees, holding her head. "What just happened?…" She looked up and studied the many fallen buildings around her. The bright blue sky was becoming gloomy and foggy with smoke as the Irkens and Wisps surrounded her with furious looks in their eyes. Nigel and Rachel looked worried for her.
Later…
By this time, the invading enemy troops had retreated. Dimentia shamefully approached General Zim and Tak on their stand with Nigel and Rachel by her side. The citizens looked furious. Dimentia slowly lifted her head up as Zim spoke. "So… you escaped from Underworld Prison… and you didn't learn a thing, is that it?"
"I hate to say it, but Zim is right. You're the same monster you were before." Tak replied.
"Alright, fine. I admit it. I STILL hate adults, and I still hate everyone else for what they did to me! But I…But I've been trying to forget about it!"
"Oh, I don't believe her." the Speed Wisp said. "She hated adults a jillion years ago, and she hates 'em now."
"She's probably just here to turn us all into Nega Wisps again." a Rocket Wisp replied.
"And she even brought those hunters here to destroy our planet!" a Flame Wisp accused.
"No! I-"
"STONE HER!" a Boulder Wisp yelled.
"Turn her to a beetle!" a Dupli Wisp shouted.
"Uh… make her float around continuously!" a Hover Wisp followed, earning disbelieving looks from other Wisps.
"Dude, you are really not a useful power." a Bomb Wisp told him.
"Alright, that's enough." Zim ordered, silencing them. "Dimentia: you are banished from our planet."
"But Zim-" Rachel tried to say.
"BANISHED! !" he roared again. Dimentia was about to say something, but merely looked away as tears started to form in her eyes.
"Dimentia, wait-" Infinity called, running over to her beside Gabe and Jirachi, but Dimentia had snapped her fingers and teleported.
"Well… that could've gone better." Rachel sighed.
"Hm. Good old Zim, huh?" Nigel chuckled.
"Yah…" Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Why did they make him a general?"
"It was either me or Skoodge." Zim replied.
Even later…
After a while, the Irkens started to clean up the area and put out most of the fires, so the sky was bright and sunny once more. "At least things have settled around here." Tails said.
"Too bad Eggman Nega had to come and ruin everything." Amy replied.
"Now how is Dimentia supposed to be a Guardian?" Abby asked. "Now that she's been hit with a Darkness Cannon-"
"She may have been touched by Darkness…" Mother Wisp appeared and spoke. "But the Light is fighting to keep it back."
"Ah, yes. Of course, Mother Wisp." Meta Knight said.
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.
"Tell me, did you notice how Dimentia's rampage suddenly came to a stop after Marine punched her with her light ball?"
"Uh, yeah?" Marine cocked a brow.
"Of course. She has been hit by a lightbender." Mother Wisp confirmed.
"A lightbender? ?"
"That power you wield: it is a power of light. There are only so many lightbenders in the universe. Light is an incredible gift that only few are able to possess."
"Dimentia was driven back to her Dark Side when the Darkness Cannon made contact." Meta Knight continued. "But after being hit by Marine's Light Sphere, she was given a sliver of hope."
"So, Oi'm a lightbender? That is KILLUH, Mate!"
"Lightbenders possess unique powers that come in many different forms. They are able to fight the Darkness and give hope and light to anyone with a troubled heart."
"So, that means… Dimentia is slowly healing." Rachel smiled.
"But the bender's power only does so much. The true light… comes from a different source."
"What kind of source?"
"The feeling of love and friendship in your heart. That same kind of feeling that gives the Fountain of Dreams and Galaxia life, so that the stars may shine bright, and give hope to all beings."
"Oh, GIVE me a VOMIT BAG!" Numbuh 4 shouted. "OW!" Abby smacked him across the face with her hat.
"So, what you're saying is… Dimentia needs our love and support." Rachel figured.
"And a little forgiveness at that." Nigel glanced over to Zim.
"Hmm… maybe I was a little quick to… have her banished." Zim scratched his head.
"Talk about not changing a bit." Kweeb muttered.
"I know I forgive her." Rachel said.
"Yeah. Me too." Nigel replied.
"Me three!" Kuki cheered.
"…Eh. Me four." Wally shrugged.
"I forgive her, too." Jirachi smiled.
"Then I guess we're all agreed to that." Gabe said.
"But where are we going to find her?" Jirachi asked.
"Oh, I have a good idea." Gabe smirked, noticing Infinity wasn't with them. "And it looks like somebody's way ahead of us."
Star Haven (Play "Gate of Time" from Zelda: Skyward Sword.)
Dimentia was on the floating, star-shaped island that was Star Haven, sitting along the pathway that led into the Star Sanctuary. The exiled leader dangled her feet in the reflecting Dream Water as tears dripped into the river, creating small ripples. "Hello there." She looked up to her left and noticed Jeremy, smiling as he walked over.
"How did you find me?"
"Call it instinct." he said, taking a seat beside her. "You okay?"
"Of course not." She looked away angrily. "You saw it. And they were right. It's just like that Hermit said. I'll always be the hateful child I always was. I'll always be filled with darkness. So I should live in darkness. The same way Lord Gnaa does."
"Dimentia… you shouldn't let all those people get to you like that. It's true that some people don't forget the past as easily as others… but I know you better, Dimentia." He put a hand on her shoulder. "I know you didn't mean to do what you did back there. And if you could… you'd probably change it all, wouldn't you?"
"…No… I wouldn't."
"W…Why not?"
"When I think about it… they're all pretty great people, really. Nigel and Rachel… for ages, I've let my anger and desires get the best of me… I really didn't see what I had. What I could've had. I'm no different than every other operative I recruited into GKND."
"It is what deceives everybody."
"Especially you. You… were the only one that trusted me the most. You believed in me when no one else did. It was always so… great having you as my second-in-command."
"It was always great having you as my leader." Jeremy replied.
"I wonder, Jeremy… if the entire universe starts to hate me, would you stick by my side?"
"I've got nothing better to do." he replied with a wry smile.
"I don't think there will be any need for that, though." They turned back to see Nigel Uno watching them.
"Number One?" Dimentia spoke.
"Hm hm, I'll let it slide this time. Come on, Dimentia. We have a little surprise for you down on the planet…"
The two friends exchanged curious glances and followed him to the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S..
Planet Wisp
The thousands of Irkens and Wisps gathered as Nigel walked Infinity and Dimentia to the stage where Zim waited. "Dimentia…" the Ex-invader began. "On behalf of Planet Wisp… we're sorry for not believing in you."
"We understand that what you did was… merely against your control." Tak followed. "And… since we are trying to start an era of peace and forgiveness on this planet… we figure that should apply to all creatures."
"And even our worst enemies in the past can become our closest friend in the future." Rachel smiled.
"You would be surprised who could be your friend." Emily nudged Chad.
"That's no different with you, Freak." Chad said playfully.
"And while it is important to follow duties," Death's Head began, "it is also important… to do what is right. That's the way the universe works, no?"
Jirachi then drifted over and wrapped his little arms around his former caretaker. "Dimentia… we all forgive you."
"Pie…" Kirby smiled.
Dimentia had never felt more happy than she did then. It seemed clear to her now that all her dark deeds of the past have been erased. She never would have suspected that those who were once her greatest enemies would become friends. She gave a joyous smile and hugged the little Star God.
Nigel instantly noticed a light coming from Dimentia's chest. Dimentia looked down and noticed as well, gasping and stepping back for everyone else to see. "What's happening?" someone asked.
A bright ball of light emerged from the Zathurian's chest and hovered in the air. The Jeweled Scepter that was in Eva's hands at the time started to levitate over, absorbing the light in its jewel. The staff suddenly started to glow with a mystical light.
"With the True Light awakened within the Heart of the Guardian… the Jeweled Scepter regains its power." Mother Wisp spoke.
"The Light Source… was in Dimentia's heart." Amy figured out. "And she needed the love and forgiveness from her friends to awaken it."
"A very clever hiding spot, if I do say so myself." Mother Wisp said proudly.
"It's so beautiful." Kuki said with tears of joy.
"Oh, MAN! That is the DUMBEST thing I have EVER seen in a story!" Wally shouted.
"Ah, pipe down, Numbuh 4." Rachel said. "We have some unfinished business."
Dimentia took the Jeweled Scepter in her hand and held it up as Jirachi floated in the air. The star child smiled and closed his eyes, opening the true eye on his stomach. The big, blue eye connected with the Jeweled Scepter as Jirachi started to glow with an equal mystical light. Jirachi reopened his eyes when the connection stopped. His true powers had been restored.
"And now for the coup de grace." Jagar said, walking over and handing Dimentia the Spirit Ball.
The Guardian tossed the ball up-and-down in her hands as Jirachi patiently awaited his capture. Dimentia was excitedly ready to toss the ball and earn another Firstborn for her new friends. Doing so would complete another part of the quest. Just when she was about to toss it… (End song.)
"WAAH!" Lasers fired down at everyone from above.
"Ah, a most touching moment, I'm sure."
"IT'S BRAIN!" Wallabee shouted, pointing up at the Star Destroyer coming their way.
The Sith Lord sat in the ship's control bay beside Mallah and Nolan. "But it seems our plan worked like a charm. With the Firstborn and the Guardian fully awakened, I can finally begin work on my master plan. AHH!" The villains screamed when their ship was attacked. The heroes looked over and noticed the Halberd firing lasers at the Star Destroyer.
"Hey, hey!" Magolor cheered, floating above the Halberd's deck as the ship came closer, with Marx bouncing on his ball in joy. "Don't count me outta this party!"
"YES! Well done, Magolor!" Meta Knight exclaimed, cheering with everyone else. "Now, let us return to Earth so that our friends may begin the next-"
"Oh, I don't THINK so!" Magolor interrupted, lowering to the ground.
"Wh-What? What do you-"
"Finally…" Magolor stared with absolute joy, approaching the Jeweled Scepter in Dimentia's hands. "It's… MIIIINE!" The Nightmare pulled down his mask, erupting a massive and deafening Fear Scream that made everyone shield their ears. In all the confusion, Magolor flew by and swiped the scepter from Dimentia. The creature hovered high above them as he waved the staff around. "The power to control all stars… IS IN MY HAND!"
"Oh… OHHHH!" Jirachi cried.
"JIRACHI!" Gabe and Jeremy yelled when Magolor lured him in, using the scepter.
"Oh… YEEAAHH!" Magolor glowed with light as the Jeweled Scepter filled him with power. In seconds, Magolor's body transformed into one with a red and blue nightmarish aura, with white gloves that emitted a pink glow, orange eyes, a white mask that hid his mouth, purple horns, and a golden crown on his head.
"Yay! Yay! Do me, Big Brother! Do me!" Marx cheered.
"Oh, I wouldn't forget you, Little Brother!" With that, Magolor aimed and fired a ray at Marx, giving him power as well.
"Mmm… Ohh, YAAAAAYYYY!" Marx now had wider eyes, and was flying with yellow, mirror-like wings.
"YESS!" Magolor exclaimed. "Now we are ALL POWERFUL! !"
"Magolor! I do not understand!" Meta Knight said.
"Yeah! We need that scepter!" Numbuh 4 shouted.
"Aw, what's with all the confused looks? Fine. Let me explain everything: During the Old Nightmare Wars, the first Nightmare King knew that Kirby and his foolish friends would be coming soon, so he created Marx and I to finish the job should anything go wrong. It wasn't too long after that did Darkrai the First meet with an untimely end, and Nightmare Land was destroyed. We escaped the destruction, and landed on Planet Popstar, where we met Meta Knight. Meta Knight told us his story of how he always wanted to be the greatest Star Warrior, and get the Galaxia Sword. I knew that, if we could find the Galaxia Sword, we could get closer to obtaining the Power of the Stars, so we helped him fix his ship, and began our grand adventure through the stars!
"THAT… was nearly 300 years ago." Magolor continued. "Then one day, a great black hole appeared in the sky. We knew it was none other than Zathura. We watched from a distance as a great leviathan formed from the depths of the darkness. And just when the black hole would consume everything, a baldheaded boy shined in the darkness, wielding the Galaxia Sword. Unfortunately, that same boy released Jirachi from his bind to the Star Rod, preventing anyone from misusing his power again. That's why… we came to Planet Earth. Because if we could track down the boy who wielded the Galaxia Sword… we would be ever so close to reviving Jirachi's power.
"Finally… you've done it." The many heroes held their mouths open agape. "Thanks to you snot-nosed kids, I can control the stars and revive my master, and the NEW Nightmare Wars shall commence! Thank you, Kids Next Door. It's an awful shame I'll have to DESTROY you now!"
"Why is it that EVERY guy we help ends up DOUBLE-CROSSING us?!" Wally shouted.
"Tell me about it…" Eddy mumbled.
"And for being such a big help… your planet gets to be the FIRST to witness my power!" The kids gasped when an enormous star-shaped portal with the image of Planet Earth appeared in the sky. "Be prepared, Planet Earth! Welcome your new overlord! GAH!" The Nightmare was suddenly hit by fire blasts from the sky.
"Look! It's Landia!" Angie shouted joyfully, jumping and pointing to the four small dragons flying down.
"Grrr! I won't be stopped that easy! Farewell, kiddies! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!" Magolor used his magic to make the Halberd levitate and shoot into the portal, him and Marx flying after it.
"Nnnn… NOO!" Before Jirachi was taken in, he released the Golden Light Wisp, which flew straight into Nigel's body. The Brit felt the power surge through him as the golden cape appeared on his back, and the Galaxia Sword erupted into life.
"I…I do not believe it. The Galaxia Sword… before my very eyes." Meta Knight stared in amazement.
"All right! NOW we'll show him!" Nigel cheered.
"Poyo!" Kirby summoned his Warp Star, and once it came flying, Kirby sucked it in. He transformed into Super Kirby, attaining his Star Rod. "Piyah!"
"Hey, looks like these guys wanna give us a lift." Yang said, noticing the Landia dragons waiting for someone to get on them.
"OH YEAH!" Kami exclaimed, jumping onto one of them. "I always wanted to ride a dragon!"
"I second that!" Yin smiled, jumping on the lead dragon.
"And me!" Marine cheered, getting on another one.
"Heck, why not?" Katie shrugged, getting on the last one.
"Hang on! I have to go after them, too. What should I ride?" Dimentia asked.
"Bzzzt-zz-ZZZZ!" Dimentia then looked up as the large mosquito, Moskito, shot down from the sky and gestured for her to get on.
"…Eh. Good enough." She shrugged, getting on Moskito's back.
"Everybody else, to the Blue Typhoon." Tails yelled as the rest of them boarded onto their other flagship.
"Let us go, everyone." Meta Knight declared, flapping his wings, ready to take off into the portal.
"Save butt for me to kick, too, yes?" Death's Head said, readying his gun.
"Kids Next Door: BATTLE STATIONS!" At Nigel's battle cry, he, Dimentia, Meta Knight, Kirby, the dragon-riders, and Death's Head took off into the portal with the Blue Typhoon right behind.
"I will not give up so easily." The Brain said as the Star Destroyer flew in after them.
"Hyperspace… I'm gonna be sick." Nolan said, and the portal closed once they entered.
HOO! Oh boy, that took a while! Sort of… I actually wanted to put the Light Source in a stage, but I'm sorta glad I didn't. :/ So, next time will be our final battle against Magolor, and the Galactic Quest will be complete! Laters!
