(A 2023 edit has been unleashed, adding several new types on how the characters got possessed)

## Plot

The game starts off with Kirby in a security room, there he is checking the cameras, these cameras connect to the world, in which there are three (for some reason). Kirby checks the first camera, which is Servilianus visiting his friends, Meta Knight, Bandana Dee and King Dedede at Castle Dedede. Servilianus opens the Castle Door to only get confusion from the others, an unknown being (most likely the unknown being) then leaps into the castle, and attacks Dedede, biting him. However, suddenly, King Dedede starts to turn into some kind of corrupt being, and Meta Knight almost gets clobbered by King Dedede's hammer. Meta Knight looks up and angrily asks Dedede “WHY DID YOU HIT ME?! TELL ME WHY!”. King Dedede responds with "To exterminate you, your following that pink demon.". As soon as Mega Knight was hit, several people, including Caius and Severus ran to help Meta Knight. King Dedede throws his hammer down again, but Meta Knight jumps up and dodges his attack once more. Kirby is shocked but then realises that King Dedede must be possessed by Dark Matter (or something else) again. Bandana Dee is then about to attack Dedede when he got stopped by a sword. Bandana Dee then looks to his right and sees Severus has been possessed as well, before Meta Knight tries to kill the possessed Caius, but Caius is too much, and Meta Knight is corrupted by one of his own workers. The now possessed Meta Knight then slashes Bandana Dee multiple times, causing Bandana Dee to get severely injured and eventually, get corrupted. Servilianus then uses a Maximum Tomato to heal himself. He then dodges an attack coming from Bandana Dee, as Sabinus arrives into the room. Sabinus is shocked to see one of Kirby’s closest allies attacking Servilianus and asks Bandana Dee why he's doing this. Bandana Dee says "Silence, Follower of that Pink Demon! You shall pay for what you have done!". Bandana Dee then throws his spear at Servilianus while Meta Knight releases an attack from Galaxia, Servilianus quickly dodges the spear and steals a sword. King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Dee then attack him at once. Servilianus dodges all their attacks at once and then jumps out of the window while using his ability star to stop his abnormal three allies. Servilianus then panics and thinks that something has possessed them all. He then wonders if it's a Jamba Heart, but realises that his allies never gave out purple smoke. And if there was a Dark Matter invasion, the sky wouldn't be clear, it would be dark and have dark clouds, as Sabinus was corrupted. Kirby then decides to focus on Camera 2 which it focused with several individuals, including Luca, Murena, Castillo, Grigori, Marx, Luzon, Otho, Bayar, Magolor and Taranza who were infront of the camera. Kirby then shouts out to them, his ten allies looked at him in horror and then, at eachother. Suddenly, possessed being start rushing towards Camera 2. Otho is able to hold off a possessed Thomas, and the possessed Captain Herseppe is sliced in half by Luzon. All of a sudden, Taranza gets struck in the face by a possessed Scipio. Taranza says “I don’t feel so well, i got hit by Dark Matter aswell…” Otho tried to calm Taranza down, but All of a sudden, Taranza’s eyes gets angry at Marx and yells "It's that follower of the pink demon!". Taranza attacks Luzon and Marx, corrupting Castillo, but missing Luzon. Kirby is shocked to see them attacking his allies, he then realises that something is very wrong. Otho and Luzon both say to Taranza “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS TARANZA?!” but a spear is thrown at both of them saying "YOU'LL PAY FOR KILLING SECTONIA!".

Both men are hit, resulting of them falling onto the ground, and becoming corrupted as well. Kirby is shocked, Taranza had tried to get revenge before, but he had been redeemed now. Magolor then just avoided getting blasted by Luzon's laser. Otho then yells "They are avoiding our attacks! We can't let them get away! Kirby’s mere existence threatens the universe!". Kirby gets shocked again, then Bayar, and several others, gets corrupted by Luzon, and then yells to Magolor "We need you now, Mags!". Kirby then sees on the camera Magolor pull out the Master Crown. Kirby screams "MAGOLOR! DON'T!". Magolor listens, saying “I wont put it o-“ before he is killed by Otho, resulting of him being corrupted as well. His corrupted self puts it on and transforms into his Master Crown form. Magolor then releases dimensional rifts with lasers while Otho and Taranza also attack. Marx then sees King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Dee running towards the fight with an angry look at Marx. Kirby then knows that he won't be able to handle all of them without hurting them, plus he has no ability. Kirby then breaks open the roof of his security room, and Marx passes him a laser, in which he inhales Marx's laser and gets the Jet ability. Jet Kirby then quickly flies out of the fight, along with Termina and Galava. He looks back and sees them chasing them. When Termina looks forward, he sees a laser coming towards him. Termina can't react and loses his ability while falling to the ground, before being corrupted, Termina screams “CURSE YOU KING DEDEDE! ARRGH!”. King Dedede then shouts "Good aim, Bandana Dee!". Galava hears the name and sees a Access Ark descending onto Dream Land, along with several ships. Kirby looks as all hell breaks loose. Haltmann Workers as well as Anthony, William, Mike, Paul and Susie, Vincent, Ostorius, Wade and Smith all come out and aims weapons at the Corrupted. Susie then orders her workers to fire. Several men charge into the corrupted line, and the battle starts to get deadly. Kirby closes his eyes expecting the worst. But then he realises that he's not been shot. Kirby then opens his eyes and sees the corrupted pushing back the Haltmann Workers, weapons being destroyed by the corrupted, and they were one by one getting infected, Susie started screaming as she was corrupted along with her brothers. Kirby looks carefully and sees shurikens. He then looks up to see Francisca, The Ice/Water Mage Sister who had now acquired ice shruikens. Francisca then says "Need some help, True Hero?". Anthony, who had survived the corruption, orders his workers to fire at his corrupted siblings and Kirby's other abnormal-acting allies attack as well. Kirby then sees Magolor about to summon a spike to stab Galava, and Kirby shouts out to warn Galava. But Francisca destroys the spike and slashes Magolor. King Dedede then tries to smash Francisca with his hammer, but Francisca dodges it easily and kicks Dedede's head, knocking him out. Marx and Taranza try making a sneak attack, but Francisca dodges, causing Marx and Taranza's attacks to hit each other. Susie, Bandana Dee and Meta Knight all attack Francisca at once, Kirby inhales Susie's fire attack and becomes Fire Kirby. Fire Kirby then shoots fire at Bandana Dee, blowing Bandana Dee away. He then turns back to see Galava fighting Meta Knight in a sword duel. However, Meta Knight's Galaxia is much stronger than Galava's sword so Galava’s sword is snapped in half. Galava then tries to use shurikens but Meta Knight hits them away easily, and corrupts Galava. Kirby then sees Magolor summoning a huge ice dragon (the Super Ability attack), so Kirby inhales the huge ice dragon turning him into Monster Blizzard Kirby. Monster Blizzard Kirby then summons two ice dragons into Magolor and Meta Knight. Meta Knight is pushed back but isn't damaged as he uses Galaxia as a shield. Magolor is also hit by the attack, and since he had no shield, the Master Crown was forced off his head, de-powering Magolor into his normal form and making him unconscious. Kirby then prepares to fight Meta Knight as he comes back again, but something heavy knocks a corrupted down. That corrupted (Manius) looks to his right and sees the Animal Friends, with angry expressions on their faces, helping to stop the corruption. Kirby then wonders if all his allies are trying to stop a corruption like this. King Dedede then feels something behind him so he jumps up and sees Adeleine waving her paintbrush around aggressively, He prepares to fight, but Francisca simply pushes her down gently with one foot, causing her to fall down. Kirby then inhales Adeleine's paintbrush and becomes Artist Kirby. Artist Kirby paints a Kracko which goes after the corrupted Sabinus, who is eventually chased down and killed. Meta Knight then slashes Cato, corrupting Cato. Servilianus then tries to grab Meta Knight's sword but gets corrupted aswell. Several others, including Bernard, Wilson, Patterson and Bexley all join the fight, fighting the corruption. With casualties in the hundreds, Kirby then cries out to Meta Knight "What happened to you? Why are you all doing this? I thought we were friends!". Meta Knight then furiously replies back "How dare you call us friends, you pink demon and your followers!! I would never be your friend in a trillion years!". Meta Knight then tries to slash Kirby multiple times while Kirby dodges. A confused soldier and loyal ally of Kirby, Valerius, then asks what Kirby and his followers did, while dodging like a smug man. Meta Knight stops slashing and replies back "WHAT YOU DID?! HOW DARE YOU ASK SUCH A QUESTION! I'll tell you what Kirby did, you stupid follower of that pink demon! Kirby destroyed galaxies in the universe, he took people's lives and spread fear to everyone! I'll avenge them all, by finishing him off, the Eclipse Termina!".

Kirby is thinking to himself so deeply that he doesn't notice that Meta Knight is about to unleash a huge attack from Galaxia. Francisca shouts out to Kirby. Kirby then looks at the attack and can't dodge in time, when he is grabbed by someone (speculated to be Bernard, who got killed shortly after). Kirby's vision becomes dark as he sees his former allies regaining consciousness and yelling things that he can't make out. The figure then picks up an almost unconscious Francisca and the figure then flies away rapidly. Kirby's vision then goes completely black, as he sees his remaining allies being corrupted, Constantine is the last cornered, and is attacked by a now Corrupted Coo, corrupting Constantine. Leading to another man, Gentry, fleeing, along with Whiteside, Murena, Collins, Pottsville and Stag. Several survivor colonies then are formed to stop the corruption.

Kirby then wakes up and sees Francisca looking over him. Kirby asks Francisca where they are. Francisca says that she's not sure, but they're not on Popstar for sure. A voice then says "Correct. We're on one of Popstar's moons.". Kirby and Francisca jump up, Kirby puts up his guard while Francisca takes out her labrys. The voice then tells them to calm down as the figure explains that they saved them from being killed. Kirby admits that's true but still doesn't let his guard down. Francisca then shouts "REVEAL YOURSELF!". Something then flies down behind then. Kirby and Francisca look behind themselves to see Flamberge. Before Kirby can even say anything, Francisca leaps at her own sister with her labrys and tries to slash her. Flamberge pulls out her sword and defends Francisca's attacks. Francisca then throws lots of shurikens but Flamberge deflects them by summoning Heart Spears. Francisca then yells that she'll kill her sister if it's the last thing she does. Francisca and Flamberge then have a fierce battle, with such fast movements that even Kirby can't read their attacks. Finally, Kirby decides to jump up and tries to stop the battle. Francisca tells the two to hear her out but Flamberge doesn't want to listen and continues to attack Francisca. Francisca then releases a huge slash which creates a crack in the ground and Kirby gasps thinking that Flamberge got caught in the attack. Francisca then says to Kirby "Now that she's out of the way, let's-". Suddenly, Francisca gets slashed at the back and falls down. She immediately stands up and releases fire attacks behind her, she then gasps to see Flamberge still alive. Seeing that Flamberge isn't an easy opponent, Francisca releases Jamba Heart Spear attacks from behind Flamberge, Flamberge can't react fast enough to defend herself from the Heart Spears. Kirby then goes behind Francisca and inhales the Heart Spears, then exhaling them out to Flamberge. Flamberge sees it coming and dodges just in time. Flamberge then yells at them to hear her out and that she’s not here to fight. Francisca doesn't listen and prepares to attack again, but is stopped by Kirby who asks Francisca to let Flamberge speak. Francisca shouts at Kirby to let her go and let her defeat Flamberge, but Kirby doesn't let him go and gives her cute eyes. Francisca then sighs and turns to Flamberge while saying "Fine, sister, but you have 30 seconds to speak.". Flamberge then says to Kirby that she must already notice that his allies, apart from Hyness are now his enemies. Kirby then asks what Flamberge did to them. Flamberge replies that she didn't do anything. Kirby then says that they must be possessed by Dark Matter or something. Flamberge responds that it wasn't Dark Matter, but something else rather. Kirby asks who, Flamberge replies "**The Erasor of Time, Lacuna**".

Kirby gasps and says that he thought Lacuna was dead. Flamberge responds that Lacuna used time magic to save herself in the past when she was a spirit. Kirby remembers how Lacuna tricked his allies and turned them against him in the past. Kirby asks Flamberge what Lacuna did to make his friends against him. Flambergeresponds that Lacuna used her time magic to go back into the past and disturbed the timelines, convincing his friends to think that Kirby was a "pink demon", or to be more precise, **Eclipse Termina**. Kirby then gets angry as Lacuna turned his friends against him again. Kirby thinks to himself "*I hate you, Lacuna. I'll make sure to finish you off for good the next time I see you.*".

Francisca then asks Flamberge what she has in mind to fix the problem. Flamberge responds that she also has the ability to travel back to time, but fixing the problem in past timelines, could lead to more problems in the present. If this happens, time will become unstable. Flamberge then responds that if they defeat Lacuna, they can take her power and use it to rearrange the timelines without disturbing the present. Keikai then asks where Lacuna is. Flamberge responds that she's being guarded by all of Kirby's former allies, as she convinced them that she was the only one who could save them from Kirby. So now Kirby's former allies serve under her. This angers Kirby even further, he then asks if the Mirror World counterparts can help, he asks if Lacuna brainwashed them as well. Flamberge responds that the Mirror World no longer exists. Kirby is shocked and asks how, to which Flamberge says that Lacuna went back to the past where Dark Mind invaded the Mirror World and used time magic to unleash an ancient named **Photil** into the Mirror World. During the fight, Meta Knight was able to escape from the mirror, but when he tried going back into the mirror, the mirror was sealed, as Photil ended up sealing the Mirror World away along with Dark Mind. He then shattered the mirror which destroyed the whole Mirror World and escaped. Kirby is in disbelief, and then thinks about his Mirror World allies. Flamberge continues that if they want to defeat Lacuna, they'll have to go through all of Lacuna's minions first. Kirby then asks Flamberge why she's helping them. Flamberge for the first time since he saved Kirby and Francisca doesn't look calm and growls. Flamberge then says "Don't get me wrong, I'm not on your side or anything. I hate all of you. I'd never team up with you, but unfortunately, this is a different case. I hate Lacuna, since she used our power and I vow to get revenge. Also, the fate of the universe isn't just a stake, timelines are as well. Lacuna wants to rule the universe in all timelines, if she succeeds in defeating us, there'll be no stopping her. So as much as I hate it, we have to team up to defeat Lacuna.". Francisca doesn't trust Flamberge, and tells Kirby that Flamberge is just trying to trick them. But Kirby tells Francisca that they just have to trust him, or everything falls into Lacuna's hands. Francisca tells Kirby that she'll trust her just this once. Kirby then smiles and thanks Francisca. Kirby then turns to Flamberge and says that they're in. Suddenly, a voice says "I'm in too!". Kirby, Francisca and Flamberge turn to see Zan Partizanne and Hyness both smiling at them. Immediately, Francisca throws his labrys on the ground in fear and runs behind Kirby. Francisca then screams for help. Kirby then tells Francisca that Zan Partizanne and Hyness are in the religion with her. Francisca responds that Zan is a demon, as she pulls out a shuriken for a surprise attack and throws it at Zan. Zan dodges the shuriken and takes her spears, asking what Francisca's deal is. Francisca tries to run as Zan chases after him with her katana. Flamberge then yells for everyone to stop. Hyness then tells Kirby that they all got sent here due to Lacuna disturbing timelines and then asks Kirby if he can join their cause to defeat Lacuna. Kirby smiles and gladly accepts. Kirby then summons a Warp Star and tells everyone to hop on so they can travel to Popstar. Flamberge, Francisca and Zan hop on (with Francisca hanging from the bottom to avoid as much contact as possible with Flamberge). Hyness then says that he can fly there himself as he grunts. Kirby's Warp Star then heads to Popstar with great speed. Hyness then follows as he desperately tries to catch up with them.

Kirby and co. head towards Popstar , along with several other colonies of the survivors, but are suddenly stopped by a forcefield protecting Popstar. Zan tries to use a portal to go through but they all end up in Halcandra, seeing an angry, injured Landia infront of them. Zan, not seeing Landia as a threat, prepares to take the four dragons down, but is stopped by Kirby dragging Zan back into the portal (thanks to the Warp Star). Then Zan deactivates the portal and says that Lacuna has messed up the dimensional rifts as well. The dimensional rifts between dimensions are unstable, meaning that they can't use dimensional travel, and they can't find the source of the forcefield's power in a hurry. Francisca then saw that the forcefield's energy source was probably on their right somewhere, as the forcefield's energy is flowing the opposite way. Kirby then states that Floralia is that way. Kirby's Warp Star then heads to Floralia (with Galacta Knight on it, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep up with the Warp Star's speed). A survivor colony, lead by Lexington, lands at Floralia, with his survivors being Donny, Gerald and Hostilian, the three men see Taranza staring at them. Taranza says "You... dare... have the guts to step on the world where you killed my queen?". Hostilian begs Taranza to listen and that Lacuna is lying to him. Taranza yells at Hostilian that "Queen Lacuna has given us a future, to save us, from you!". Donny then tells Taranza that he'll avenge his mercy and defend Kirby if it costs him his life. Flamberge, who’s company had just arrived, then prepares to slash Taranza but Kirby holds her back and begs him not to kill Taranza. Taranza releases an attack, causing the eight people to jump behind a rock, as Taranza then kills Donny by slashing his face open with ease. Flamberge growls angrily at Kirby why he stopped her. Kirby asks Flamberge how she would feel if their allies were killed. Flamberge is taken aback by the question, and puts her head down. She then tells Kirby that her brothers Bailey, Oscar, Lamar, Austin, Henry, Trajanus, Sejanus and Byron were all killed after the ancients sealed them away. Kirby feels sad for Flamberge as he remembers how Void and Oliver Roy were killed. He then sympathetically tells Flamberge that he knows how it feels to see your friends being killed in battle. Francisca then rethinks to himself if Flamberge is really as bad as he thought he was. Francisca then remembers that she started her vigilante life due to thinking that Hyness was a traitor to being a hero. Zan asks herself if all her anti-hero work was for nothing, and she misjudged all hero warriors.

After making the Sisters feel better, and making Zan agree not to kill Kirby's corrupted allies, they hop back into the battlefield and fight Taranza head on. Kirby knows that Taranza himself doesn't stand a chance against one of them, let alone seven. Taranza, seeing that he stands no chance against Kirby and the Mage Sisters, yells "ATTACK THE FIVE DEMONS, NOW!!!". All of a sudden, Kirby gets stopped by something flying. He gasps and sees that it's Ribbon, but black smoke is being emitted from her body. Kirby looks around in shock to see other **Ripple Star residents** emitting black smoke from their bodies. Then, Kirby knows that they must be possessed, most likely by Dark Matter. Kirby then says to himself that even if Lacuna did rearrange the timelines, Dark Matter's goal would still be the same, and they wouldn't create an alliance with anyone. Kirby then notices a crown on Taranza's head that resembles the Master Crown but is purple with a black gem instead of gold with a green gem. Kirby realises that it can't be the Master Crown as Magolor wielded the Master Crown in its normal state a few hours ago. As Taranza leaves, Kirby realises that he'll have to fight Ribbon and the Ripple Star residents. The four heroes start by throwing attacks at the Ripple Star residents. After knocking them all down, Queen Ripple descends and with the help of Ribbon, she uses the Crystal to launch attacks at Kirby and co., but the five heroes defeat Ribbon and Queen Ripple, they also fought **Komarov & Romanov** and beat them to piece, followed by **Corvus**. After this, all Ripple Star residents turn back into their normal state, including Komarov, Corvus and Romanov. Ribbon then wakes up and sees Kirby, Kirby is unsure if she or Komarov recognises him. To Kirby's surprise, Both Komarov and Ribbon thank him for freeing them and the Ripple Star residents from Dark Matter. Kirby is so happy to see Ribbon in her normal self. He then asks Ribbon if she knows what happened to King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, Cato and Adeleine. Ribbon, who is confused, asks who those four are, Kirby tells her that they helped him and her save Ripple Star from the Dark Matter invasion. Queen Ripple comes and tells Kirby that he and Ribbon were the only ones who saved Ripple Star. Kirby then tells them everything about Lacuna and the true past before Lacuna changed it. Ribbon, Komarov and Queen Ripple are surprised to hear the truth. Suddenly, Taranza's Como minions rush towards the five heroes and the Ripple Star residents. Queen Ripple tells the four to escape and carry on while they fight the Comos. Kirby agrees and as he is about to leave, Ribbon goes next to Kirby and kisses him on the cheek, leaving Ribbon and Kirby blushing. Ribbon then tells Kirby "good luck" as she goes off to help fight the Comos. Kirby and the survivors then carry on to follow Taranza.

Meanwhile, Servius, and Priscus, who were leading the third colony confront Taranza. Taranza, in a panic, uses magic on a wall. The wall then shapeshifts into "**Hadrian’s Woods**". After defeating Hadrian’s Woods, followed by his second creation, **Wall Woods**, the men carry on following Taranza. Taranza then asks to Priscus "Do you remember this place? This is the place where Kirby slaughtered my dear Sectonia.". Priscus tries to convince Taranza to believe the truth, but he doesn't listen to Priscus and goes into battle stance. Francisca, who had just arrived tells Priscus and Taranza to both give up as they don’t stand a chance against eachother. Taranza says that he won't be fighting them, and pulls out the mysterious-looking crown from earlier. Taranza then tells them that this is the Dark Crown, which is able to control Dark Matter, thanks to Lacuna's power inside. Priscus then thinks that Lacuna must have taken Eclipse Termina's power and put it in the Dark Crown. Taranza then puts it on and shouts "Those who possess goals of darkness, I call upon you.". Suddenly, **Dark Matter soldiers** appear from the ground surrounding the survivors, and Kirby and co. Flamberge uses slashes on them, but they regenerate as their only weakness are weapons that possess light. Kirby panics what to do when Zan pulls out something looking like the Star Rod. Kirby asks Zan how she managed to get the Star Rod. Zan responds that this isn't the Star Rod, it's a special mechanised power-holder able to withstand a strong power force. Zan then hands four more of the "Star Rods" to his other four allies and the five heroes defeat all the Dark Matter soldiers. Then Kirby looks behind him to see **Gooey**. Kirby happily runs towards his friend but is then stopped when he realises that Gooey is probably not himself. Gooey then leaps at Kirby, but Kirby dodges. Kirby then realises that he'll have to face his friend in battle. Gooey then gets defeated after a short battle, and is knocked out, He then encounters **London,** and burns the purple puffball to ash, with London screaming “NOOOOOOO-“. Kirby tries to fight his tears, and tells himself that once they get Lacuna's power, everything will return to normal and he'll get all his friends back. Then dark clouds form around Kirby and co. and out comes **Zero, the Lord of Dark Matter**. After a fierce battle, Kirby and co. win against a mindless Zero, who then glows and disintegrates as well. He then defeats a minion of Zero, named Honorius, blowing up the magician.

Taranza then floats down, enraged. He then yells at Kirby and tells him that he'll pay for killing Sectonia and now Honorius. Taranza then puts on the Dark Crown and appears in a bigger, darker form (with an third eye on his forehead), called **Crowned Taranza**. In this form, Crowned Taranza can summon Dark Matter as well as use the Master Crown's powers. But even still, Kirby and Flamberge are experienced in fighting Crowned users. And Francisca, Hyness and Zan are all relatively good fighters, as well as Taranza being inexperienced with using the Dark Crown powers, so Crowned Taranza gets defeated easily with the Dark Crown ripped of his head. Taranza falls unconscious, but the Dark Crown floats in the air and forms **Zero Two**. Zero Two fights the heroes but still loses, causing Zero Two to explode along with the Dark Crown, then killing another boss, Jakob von Jamba, and knocking out his henchman, Swifty. The survivors then celebrate as Taranza wakes up.

Taranza, weakened, closes his eyes as Kirby and co. approach him, saying sorry to Kirby as he couldn't defeat him. Priscus once more tries to tell Taranza the truth. Taranza comes to his senses and tries to fight a corrupted Valerius, but is too weakened (as he wore a crown which harnessed the power of Eclipse Termina). Kirby then decides to move on to enter Popstar. However, Flamberge says that once Swifty recovers, he'll probably be back to fight them again, and he'll report the news to Lacuna. Kirby realises that Flamberge has a point. Hyness, overhearing, takes out a gadget and throws it at Swifty. Swifty then goes to sleep. Kirby asks Hyness what he did, Hyness responds that he gave Swifty a strong sleeping pill that will keep him asleep for about a week due to his already-weakened state. The heroes then move onto the center of the castle to get rid of the shield blocking Popstar, Taranza then thanks the survivors, and moves on with his day.

After getting rid of the shield blocking Popstar, and killing the shield man guarding it (Ridley), the heroes prepare to descend to Dream Land. However, a sudden force pushes them back. They see Cincinnatus with a mask heading towards them. Flamberge slashes, but the slash doesn't affect the puffball, as Cincinnatus is wearing armor. Cincinnatus then screams in a low voice "YOU'LL PAY FOR KILLING MY MEN, PINK DEMON! I WILL FIGHT YOU IN THE NAME OF LACUNA!". Zan then rolls her eyes and says "Did Leo Cincinnatus seriously throw Dyna Blade's nest off her mountain? The way for the disrepect.". Francisca then summons Heart Spears towards **Masked Cincinnatus**, but the wind force throws them off-course. Kirby inhales one of his feathers and becomes Wing Kirby. However, Wing Kirby's attacks are harmless against Masked Cincinnatus with his fully-armored body. Francisca then sees an opening on the back of her head. Francisca tells the other heroes to aim their attacks at Masked Cincinnatus's nape when they get the chance. After a fierce battle, the heroes finally knock Masked Cincinnatus down and Wing Kirby aims feathers down the back of the mask. The mask then deactivates and falls off Cincinnatus, his armor falls of as well. After being electrified by the mask, Dyna Blade descends onto the ground with her nest, having been picked up by Hyness.

The heroes then descend onto the ground, but are then stopped by **Invader Armors**. After fighting Invader Armors, the heroes fight multiple **Stock Mecha Knights**, **Dedede Clones** and **Mecha Nightmare**. Then **Iason** descends down in a pilot suit, and fights the heroes, but loses. The heroes finally get to the ground and cheer for making it down safely, then they move on. In a nearby small lake, Kine saw a fourth survivor colony, lead by Howard and Zachariah, make it onto Dream Land soil. He waits for the colony to leave and hops out to tell the other 5 Animal Friends that "the pink demon has landed on Popstar to attack Queen Lacuna". Coo decides to tell Lacuna the news, but Rick says that they should stay here to stop them from getting to Lacuna's Fortress. Rick then turns to a strange figure and tells him to tell Lacuna the news. The strange figure then runs off to tell Lacuna about Kirby's arrival.

The heroes then encounter **Gainus, Abdosir, Daroach & Squeak Squad**, who are actually just robbers in this game, and aren't working under Lacuna. They try to rob the heroes but they are soon defeated by them, and are left to retreat.

As the heroes move out, Kirby wonders where all Dream Land's residents are. Then he sees a Waddle Dee on the floor. Kirby hesitantly taps the Waddle Dee's head. The Waddle Dee puts his head up and Kirby asks if he's okay. The Waddle Dee weakly says that he's been starving. Kirby helps the Waddle Dee to his feet, with Flamberge holding his sword at the Waddle Dee. Kirby gives Flamberge a glare and Flamberge puts down his sword with a grunt. Kirby then asks what happened to him. The Waddle Dee says that it's the demon king. Kirby guesses Dedede. But the Waddle Dee panics and runs off screaming "SPEAK NOT OF THAT HORRIBLE RULER!". Kirby runs after him and sees a bunch of Dream Land's citizens, all gloomy and starving. Kirby then realises that because of Lacuna's time rearrange, King Dedede probably stole all the food in Dream Land with no one to stop him, which is why they've been starving. Kirby gets even more angry at Lacuna. Suddenly, a strange figure hits Kirby, knocking him back. Flamberge, Francisca, Hyness and Zan take their weapons out as Kirby hops up as well in a fighting stance. The figure then reveals itself. Kirby asks who the figure is, but before it can respond. A nearby Poppy Bros. Jr. yells "Watch out! It's a **Lacuna Grunt**!". Kirby and co. hear the name and immediately rush out to attack the enemy puffball. The Lacuna Grunt is fast, but Kirby and co. eventually defeat it, sending it running off. A nearby Sir Kibble tells the heroes that there are over thousands of Lacuna Grunts, but they are sorted into groups. **Lower Lacuna Grunts** (the majority and the one they just fought), **Upper Lacuna Grunts** (they are more skilled than Lower Grunts, and Dream Land's citizens have never been able to win in a fight against them), and the top three are called **Lacuna Generals** (the most skilled and powerful Lacuna Grunts, only second most powerful to Lacuna herself). The heroes are shocked, they struggled against a Lower Grunt. Keikai says that it'd be difficult for them to fight the Upper Grunts, and the Generals. Kirby then asks the Sir Kibble if he knows where Lacuna's base is. The Sir Kibble says that Lacuna's base is entered through Castle Dedede. Kirby then remembers that there were a large door beyond King Dedede's throne when he visited the castle. Kirby says that Lacuna's base is probably located beyond there. The Sir Kibble then warns that some Lower Grunts guard the entrance, and that there are thousands of Lower and Upper Grunts beyond the gate to Lacuna's Fortress. As well as the Generals, who guard Lacuna specifically. Kirby then thanks the Sir Kibble as they begin to move onto Castle Dedede.

Suddenly, Luzon appears from the ground, holding Whispy Woods at bay,and roars, telling Kirby that he'll pay for destroying his forest. Zan begins to laugh, realising that Lacuna probably went back in time and destroyed Whispy Woods's forest. Luzon gets angry and attacks the heroes with apples. But Flamberge simply slashes him, knocking Luzon into the tree, that sent it into the distance leaving only the stump. Then, the stump grows back into Whispy Woods, but metal builds over the tree, introducing itself as **Metal Luzon-Woods**. After a fight with Metal Luzon-Woods, Metal Woods glitches and explodes, destroying the stump and knocking out Luzon. The heroes then encounter the **Animal "Friends"** (Rick, Kine, Coo, Nago, ChuChu and Pitch). Kirby tries to reason with them, but then realises that they won't listen and the fight begins. After the Animal "Friends" are defeated, they summon a mech called Robo Mole and fight the heroes with the mech as **Robo Mole & Animal "Friends"**. But this also fails and they are cured, with the friends apologising to Kirby, and they surrender to Kirby. Flamberge then looks over and sees Castle Dedede in the distance. The heroes carry on to Castle Dedede.

The heroes fight the 1st wave of many enemies on the way to Castle Dedede: **William**, **Anthony**, **Mike**, **Paul**, **Thomas, Greyson, Armando, Chris, Nash, Tatum, Ruscadir,** and then **Juba**. Kirby asks Juba what he's doing here, Juba responds that under the command of Magolor, he is here to fight them. Juba then fights the heroes, but is soon defeated and flees.

**Susie** then appears infront of them with her mech. Without a word, she fights the heroes, but is defeated. Susie then gets angry and gets out her remote control. Kirby then inhales it, but upon doing so, the button was pressed in his mouth. Dyna Blade then drops down, but is mechanised instead. Kirby asks Susie why she mechanised Dyna Blade when she does not serve Lacuna as well. Susie responds that Dyna Blade destroyed her own Access Ark in her arrival and her father became paralysed because of all the wind force. She then says that she'll use the bird as a last attempt to defeat Kirby. The heroes then fight **Mecha Dyna Blade**, aiming for her chest, where the electricity source is. After Mecha Dyna Blade is defeated, Dyna Blade is released and attacks Susie for her betrayal. Zan then suggests that this is a good time to leave, But Francisca decides to save Susie. Francisca rushes over and helps Susie deal with Dyna Blade, Susie is cured and she apologises for being mean to Kirby. She then says that they shouldn't have left her on her own. If they left her, she wouldnt have joined their side. Susie then tells Kirby that if Lacuna convinced her that Kirby was a mass-murderer who killed people from all the other galaxies. Kirby is confused. Flamberge then tells Kirby that Lacuna made Kirby's tricked allies think that Gamble Galaxy is the last galaxy in the universe, and that all the other galaxies were wiped out by Kirby.

Kirby is so angry to hear this, that he tells the four to not mention the name, "Lacuna", again. The other four are a little bit scared by Kirby's sudden mood change. Francisca then tells Kirby to stop letting his anger get the best of him until they actually fight Lacuna and steal her power from themselves. Hyness then asks who will steal Lacuna's power. Flamberge then asks how they'll even be able to steal Lacuna's power. Francisca responds that she will, as she’s the only one who has the power to steal her time magic. Zan then whispers to Kirby that Galacta Knight might be tricking them in order to steal Lacuna's power. Kirby whispers back that it may seem so, but they still won't be able to get to Lacuna without Flamberge's help. Kirby then says that they'll watch Susie for the rest of the journey. The heroes then see 10 Lower Lacuna Grunts fighting Dyna Blade. Kirby runs out to help the bird, but Susie tells Kirby that once they get Lacuna's power, all harm that comes to his tricked allies will be reverted. Kirby then hesitantly runs off with his other three allies. Leaving Dyna Blade to fight the Lower Grunts.

The heroes fight the 2nd wave of enemies on the way to Castle Dedede: **Orestes, Isaiah, Rabirius, Luzon 2.0, Metal General 2.0**, **Zap Bonkers**, **Fiery Woods**, **Paint Roller**, **Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright, Kaeso, Uncilen** and then **Timoshenko,** who is flattened by Susie’s mech**.**

Then Kracko descends from the sky. Francisca asks "Now what happened? Did Lacuna throw water at you while you were creating lightning, and then she told you that Kirby did it?". Kracko then looks at Francisca and says "**Lacuna.. no... revenge... yes**". Kirby's eyes widened as he realises that Kracko was here for revenge, not because he was brainwashed by Lacuna. Susie then says "Listen up, one-eyed raincloud. You'd better hit the sky, before I slash you.". Kracko roars and yells "**I WILL DESTROY KIRBY! Do you think I'd forget? The time you smashed into me with your Hi-Jump! That time I was betrayed by Helpers! Or when I was replaced by that mechanical cloud! \*sniff\* I think there's something in my eye... No matter, I will give you a SHOCKING defeat!**" The heroes then fight **Raged Kracko**, who keeps his attack moveset, but his attacks and movements are much faster. After Kracko's defeat. Kracko gets even more angry, and turns into **Flame Kracko**. After Flame Kracko's defeat, Flame Kracko cries and his cold tears turn him into **Ice Kracko**. After Ice Kracko's defeat, Ice Kracko goes completely mad and turns into **Thunder Kracko**. After Thunder Kracko's defeat, Thunder Kracko gets so mad that he explodes. Then three clouds appear (one fire, one ice, and one electricity) and introduce themselves as **Triple Kracko**. After a raging battle with all three clouds, they are all defeated. Francisca then collapses on the ground while Kirby, Zan, Susie and Flamberge all catch their breaths. Kirby then says that of all the battles they've fought since this journey started, the Kracko battles were the hardest. Striken argues that Cincinnatus's was harder, and that they nearly got crushed by the wind force. Susie says that they shouldn't be arguing right now and the heroes then move on.

The heroes see Castle Dedede not so far from them, when suddenly Kirby dodges an ice blast. He looks back to see **Adeleine**, who just painted an Ice Dragon. Galacta Knight slashes the Ice Dragon in half. Adeleine, enraged, paints Marx. The **Fake Marx** then attacks the heroes, but gets defeated. The heroes then fight **Fake Magolor**, **Fake Dedede**, and then **Fake Galacta Knight**. After Fake Galacta Knight is defeated, Adeleine angrily waves her paintbrush. Susie rolls her eyes while the other four look at Adeleine, confused. Susie apologises to Adeleine as he gently taps Adeleine, causing her to fall, and get cured. Susie then bursts out laughing with Kirby trying to hold her laughter, and Adeleine looking confused, Adeleine would also surrender to Kirby, apologising. Flamberge and Zan then walk off as the other three try to catch up with them.

As the heroes make it to the entrance of Castle Dedede, a strong force pushes them back, Kirby is shocked to see Sextus standing there with rage. Sextus tells Kirby that he will pay for causing trouble in the Forgotten Land, and for eating his bananas. Kirby then wonders if Lacuna ate all of Sextus's bananas, but is caught off guard by Sextus's hand throwing him back. Sextus then takes out a serum and injects it into himself, turning himself into **Glitch Sextus**. Here, he uses Fecto Elfilis's attacks along with his own. After his defeat, the heroes fight **Glitch Cato**, **Glitch Sillydillo**, **Glitch Awoofy**, **Glitch Murena, Glitch Komarov, Glitch Flamey, Glitch Servilianus** and then **Glitch Clawroline**. After **Glitch Clawroline** is defeated, the heroes hear screaming in the distance, and see Claycia and Elline both walking towards them. Kirby tells both of them to stop and tries to tell them the truth, but Claycia and Elline don’t listen. Elline then sits down and tells the heroes that she and Claycia both dont really show loyalty to Lacuna. Elline then explains that Lacuna came to the World of Clay, saying that she would help them reach their goal in giving life to the "**Great One**", or how they now know, **Fecto Forgo**. She helped them capture the little creature who was Fecto Forgo's other half which would be needed to revive the Great One in full form. After the two fused, she had never been so excited in his whole life. Her dream, for the Forgotten Land, would finally come true. However, the being attacked their world, hundreds of his beasts were harmed and the completed-form of Fecto Forgo spread destruction across the land. That day, Elline realised, that her dream, was a mistake. After he begged Lacuna to seal the unmerciful Fecto Forgo away, Lacuna only agreed to, if they would help her take down the "pink demon". Claycia then says "I don't know what's right anymore. I was just too foolish. But, as the Artist, I shall fulfill my duty to protect my land.". As Claycia and Elline both inject themselves with the Glitch Serum, the heroes get into a fighting stance. Elline and Claycia then continue "I am very sorry, innocent pink puffball, and his brave friends. But I shall continue to trust ourselves for the sake of the Art! We shall defeat you, declare war on Lacuna, and make sure that nothing threatens our world ever again!". Elline and Claycia then both fully transforms into **Glitch Elline and Glitch Claycia**.

After defeating Glitch Elline, the other Art Union members arrive and get into fighting stance. Flamberge, frustrated, attempts to kill them all with one slash. But Kirby holds his sword back and tells the Art Union the truth of Lacuna's horrible doings, and the true past. Claycia then wakes up and says "I see. So, if time returns to normal, we will be in peace, once more? Very well then, we will help you slay Lacuna. \*turns to Kirby\* Forgive me for the harm I have done to you... Kirby. I just... didn't want to trust anyone after *they* left us behind.". Francisca looks at the ground, hearing this. Kirby comforts Claycia and Elline and thank them for helping. Elline smiles and then turns to her Art Union. She then tells all of them that the Art Union will fight Dedede's army while Kirby and co. rush into the entrance of Lacuna's Fortress. Everyone cheers but then they hear a voice say "Not so fast, traitor!". All of them look up to see Drusus. Drusus says that Lacuna is now aware of Elline and Claycia's betrayals. Drusus continues and says that "You should be lucky. You all get to die in the hands of an **Upper Lacuna Grunt**!".

Drusus is much faster and harder than the average Grunt, but with the help of the Art Union, the heroes manage to defeat him. After this, Drusus gets angry and says "How dare you! Well, Claycia and Elline, Lord Lacuna showed you mercy, but she will no more. \*turns to 2 Lower Grunts\* UNLEASH THE ULTIMATE LIFE-FORM!". The heroes and the Art Union are shocked to see Fecto Elfilis in the Eternal Capsule. Kirby calls out Elfilin's name. Immediately, Flamberge slashes the three Grunts. The slash hits the two Lower Grunts but Drusus dodges the slash and is about to release Fecto Elfilis. However, Claycia tackles him to the ground, but accidentally injects him with the Glitch Serum. Drusus instantly drops down unconscious, but then Fecto Elfilis wakes up inside the capsule and its eyes glow. Then Drusus gets up with glowing eyes as well and attempts to release Fecto Elfilis again. Claycia tries to strike him this time, but Drusus summons a spear and throws her off the capsule. Kirby then leaps forward and inhales Drusus. However, before Drusus is inhaled by Kirby, Drusus throws its spear towards the capulse, freeing **Fecto Elfilis**. Flamberge attempts to slash Fecto Elfilis, but Fecto Elfilis slashes blocks the slash with its spear and throws the spear at full speed towards Francisca, causing Zan to get hit backwards. Elline and Claycia then both get angry and prepares themselves for battle. But then Fecto Elfilis turns to them and says "I only wish to fight those who are worthy.". Fecto Elfilis then summons a dimensional rift which sends the Art Union (including Elline and Claycia) back to the World of Clay. Before the rift fully closes, Claycia throws the Glitch Serum to Kirby. Kirby catches it and is unsure if he should use it, thinking that Glitch Forgo might take control of him, and if that happens then Kirby will transform into Eclipse Termina. Kirby decides not to use it right now and then steps towards Fecto Elfilis shouting "Hold on tight, Elfilin! I'll free you from that no-good Fecto Forgo even if I have to chase it across the universe!". Fecto Elfilis glares at Kirby and the battle between the heroes and Fecto Elfilis begins.

After Fecto Elfilis is knocked down, Kirby inhales Elfilin out of Fecto Elfilis's body. Elfilin is confused as Kirby hugs him, asking who he is. Kirby gets embarrassed, realising that Elfilin doesn't know him in this timeline. He then says that he'll tell Elfilin later, but right now, they have to defeat Fecto Elfilis. Fecto Elfilis then de-transforms and turns into **Fecto Forgo**. Fecto Forgo gets enraged as he tries to steal Elfilin back, but the heroes, thanks to Elfilin, manage to defeat the evil half of Fecto Elfilis. Fecto Forgo then screams and opens a dimensional rift, which shows Galactic Nova, on the other side. Galactic Nova then asks Fecto Forgo for a wish. Before the heroes can act, Fecto Forgo screams something to Galactic Nova. Galactic Nova, being an ancient artifact, understands Fecto Forgo and grants his wish. The heroes then see bright light as Fecto Forgo transforms.

When the light disappears, the heroes open their eyes, and see Fecto Forgo, who has now transformed into **Neo Forgo**. Susie slashes Neo Forgo, but after Neo Forgo is spilt in half, he immediately puts himself back together. Neo Forgo then summons a gigantic dimensional rift which sends a giant laser at the heroes. The only thing that saves them, is Elfilin's dimensional rift, which summons a laser back at Neo Forgo's laser, but is much weaker, so it begins to decrease. Hyness then tries using Crash against Neo Forgo, but Neo Forgo's remains attach themselves to each other in a few seconds. Neo Forgo then says "Nothing can defeat me NOW! I will fuse with other half of Fecto Elfilis, and then **Neo Elfilis** will get revenge on **those who experimented on us and stole our power**!". Kirby, hearing this, gets angry and injects himself with the Glitch Serum. Kirby then transforms into **Glitch Kirby**. Neo Forgo, seeing a chance to control Kirby, sends Fecto Elfilis's darkness to his mind, but this makes Kirby transform into **Eclipse Termina**. Eclipse Termina fights Neo Forgo, and beats Neo Forgo with only 15% power. Eclipse Termina then roars as he looks down at Elfilin, Flamberge, Francisca, Zan and Hyness. The Sisters, Hyness and Elfilin are all shocked to see Kirby's new form. But Susie has already seen this form before, but know that they can't defeat Eclipse Termina themselves. Susie then remembers that Elfilin had to transform with the power of Staraxia to defeat Eclipse Termina and return Kirby back into his normal form. Susie runs to Elfilin and tells him to try to summon the power of Staraxia. Elfilin asks what that is as he panics. Susie then tells Elfilin to think hard and try to communicate with Kirby. Elfilin is confused, but Susie tells him about the past and reminds him about his memories of Kirby, while Eclipse Termina charges an enormous laser at the heroes. but, just before the laser hits them, Elfilin wakes up in a place with nothing but whiteness. Elfilin then looks behind him to see a girl wearing a grey business suit, with magenta hair on her back standing infront of him with a purple laser. The knight holds the sword up and tells Elfilin to touch it, Elfilin does so.

Then Elfilin wakes up and blasts Eclipse Termina's laser, sending it flying back. Eclipse Termina roars, and the fight between Staraxia Elfilin and Eclipse Termina begins. But Staraxia Elfilin overpowers Eclipse Termina and defeats him with one last laser. Eclipse Termina's Zero-like form then disintegrates, leaving Kirby on the ground. As the power of Staraxia leaves Elfilin, Elfilin rushes to Kirby, trying to wake him up. Kirby wakes up and Elfilin tells him that he remembers everything now. Kirby cheers with his friend as Flamberge, Francisca, Hyness and Zan all arrive. Kirby apologizes for almost killing them, but Francisca tells him not to worry, as Eclipse Termina defeated Neo Forgo. Susie then asks how all of this happened, to which Kirby tells Elfilin about Lacuna and how she brainwashed their friends. Elfilin is shocked and angry at Lacuna, then he asks where she is. Flamberge points to Castle Dedede and says that Lacuna's Fortress is located in there somewhere. Kirby then says that they should continue and keep on guard, as his brainwashed allies must have seen Kirby transform into Eclipse Termina themselves. Susie says she can’t go further, but she was a really good help. The heroes, including Elfilin, say goodbye to Susie, then head off into Castle Dedede. However, as they enter, Meta Knight was watching them from behind a castle pillar. His eyes turn red as he promises that he'll kill Kirby himself and make sure he suffers for the pain he's caused.

As the heroes enter Castle Dedede, a few Waddle Dee soldiers see the heroes, Kirby fights off all the guards: **Wiley, Simmons, Thompson, Durant, Spurius**, **Lentulus**, **Mummius**, **Naso**, **Luscinus, Gnaeus, Hortensius, Trebonianus** and then **Otho.** After his defeat, Otho then panics and presses a red button on the wall, yelling through the microphone that "Eclipse Termina and his \*cough\* evil subordinates have arrived to attack Great King and Lord Lacuna! Request for emergency reinforcements immediately!" before passing out on a trapdoor. The castle gate then locks up and the trapdoor opens under the heroes. Hyness then says "We can fly, you know.". A nearby Sword Knight, who wears dark gray armor and has a black scar across one of its eyes, then slashes a pillar which sends the heroes down, including Otho.

The heroes then wake up in a dark room. Elfilin tries to make a dimensional rift which leads outside, but Francisca tells him that travelling dimensional rifts are unstable due to Lacuna's time change. Otho wakes up, all cured, and apologises to Kirby for all the stuff he did, Otho then hears a voice in the room then says "Well, well, well..., if it isn't the pink demon, and his sister, and her two wannabe dark purple beret sisters, and his uh... pet elephant rat?". Otho says "There's only one person I know who'd make terrible jokes like that.". **Marx** then teleports infront of Otho and yells "HEY! MY JOKES ARE THE BEST! ONCE I MADE A JOKE ABOUT META KNIGHT AND I CRASHED MY BULLET CAR, WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR THREE MONTHS DUE TO TIBERIUS!!!" (This is a reference to when Marx did crash into a bullet car driven by Tiberius Scarus in October 2022, make sure to check it out in the alt-history) Flamberge rolls his eyes and says "Ugh, it's this clown again...". Marx replies "I'M A JESTER, NOT A CLOWN! LEARN THE DIFFERENCE!". Kirby then rolls his eyes and asks Marx why they're here. Marx grins and says that they're here to die in his hands. Zan points out that he has no hands. Marx then gets so angry that he blasts a laser at the heroes, but Elfilin summons a laser back which hits Marx. Marx then screams and rushes at them. The heroes don't take the fight seriously and beat Marx quite easily. Marx starts getting crazily aggressive. Flamberge takes out a sleeping pill and throws it at Marx, but Marx isn't affected by it. Marx yells "FOOL! I NEVER SLEEP! I did enough of that for centuries...". Zan slashes Marx, but he puts himself back together again. Marx gets angry and tells himself that they all think that's he a joke. Marx's thoughts then hurt his head, as he drops down, sleeping. The heroes are confused by this, and decide to carry on. However, cutters suddenly hit all the heroes so swiftly. The heroes get on their guard, but then see Marx, still sleeping, but in a fighting stance. The heroes try to fight Marx, but Marx is so fast and sends attacks at them rapidly. Marx, still sleeping, then says (in a serious tone) "You thought that I was a joke, but I'll show you. Prepare to fall by the wrath of Marx!" **Terror Marx** then rushes out to fight the heroes.

Terror Marx is very speedy, and releases attacks in smarter ways. But after a breath-taking battle, the heroes just manage to win. After Terror Marx falls down, the heroes collapse on the ground. Zan says that this battle was tougher than Kracko and Fecto Elfilis's battles combined. Kirby agrees, while Elfilin is confused. Suddenly, the heroes hear a sniffling, and realise that it is coming from Marx, who is still sleeping. Marx says "I've failed... I really am a joke. I've let my friends down, again.". Kirby then sympathetically goes to Marx and tells him that he's not a joke, and that he's helped him so many times, then telling Marx that he's a hero. Marx then wakes up and looks at Kirby. He then apologises, and asks Kirby to tell him the truth, to which Kirby does so. Marx gets angry at Lacuna, saying that he can't realise that he was tricked so easily. Marx then gets up and tells Kirby that he'll help him fight Lacuna. Kirby smiles and thanks Marx. Marx smiles back. The heroes, now including Marx and Otho, then move on through the dark tunnel. Francisca says that now Elfilin and Marx are redeemed, and Ribbon was never brainwashed, then he wonders if any other Star Allies might be redeemed. Kirby then remembers that Bandana Dee also wielded the power of Staraxia to help Elfilin defeat Eclipse Termina. Kirby then says that if Bandana Dee somehow manages to use the power of Staraxia, he'll get his memories of the truth back and he'll be able to join their side. Kirby then turns his head up, knowing that there's hope for his friends.

As they went along, they defeated all of Magolor’s Generals: **Abdeshmun, Danel, Corduba, Burrhus, Zimrida**, **Caralis, Theophanes**, **Hannibal**, **Mago** and then **Bayar.** Kirby asks Bayar what he's doing here, Bayar responds that under the command of Meta Knight, he is here to fight them. Bayar then fights the heroes, but is soon defeated and is turned back to normal, Bayar apologises to Kirby.

As they see light at the far end of the tunnel, they run towards it, but then the light gateway shuts. Then blue light surrounds the room, and **Magolor** (in Master Crown form) appears infront of the heroes. Magolor then sees Marx, Bayar and Otho with the heroes and says "MARX! OTHO! BAYAR! What are you all doing?! Why are you guys on the pink demon's side?!". Marx tells his brainwashed best friend that he realises the truth now and asks him to join their side. Magolor says "But... Marx... I thought that after the pink demon and his subordinates were killed... we'd betray Lacuna and steal her power... and then I thought that we'd conquer the universe together... you and me... together...". Marx says "Look, Mags. I was wrong to follow that dream, I now know the truth, and I want to stick by the good side. And you can too... just, please, stop this... and join our side. Let's save the universe, together...". Magolor gets angry and calls Marx a "traitor". Marx then says "I'm sorry, Mags. Then I'll have no choice, but to fight you...". Magolor then powers up the Master Crown and prepares to fight the heroes. As the heroes commence, Kirby yells out "Don't worry, Magolor! I'll free you from the crown's influence and tell you the truth of the true timeline!".

The eight heroes all fight against Magolor in his Master Crown form. Magolor fights aggressively and releases multiple attacks at once. But he is still defeated. He summons a star shield, but he is still defeated. After this, Magolor gets enraged and turns into **Raged Magolor**. However, this is form is also defeated. Magolor, who is now weakened, falls to the darkness of the Master Crown. **Crowned Magolor** then appears, and screams. Crowned Magolor fights similarly to Magolor's third phase from *Kirby's Return to Dream Land*. But eventually, the heroes manage to defeat Crowned Magolor, with the help of Ultra Sword Kirby. After this, Magolor (now in normal form) drops down to the ground. Kirby then uses the last of his Ultra Sword ability to slice the Master Crown off Magolor's head. The heroes check to see if Magolor is alright. However, the Master Crown rises in the air, and forms a being that Kirby thought that he'd never see again: **Zero Three**. Zero Three sees the heroes and roars, saying that they'll pay for killing his incarnations multiple times. The heroes fight Zero Three, and Zero Three is eventually defeated, then facing off against his minion, the possessed Castillo, with him and his former members being killed. After the battle, the heroes all run to Magolor, who is greatly weakened. Magolor apologises for what he did to Kirby. Kirby forgives him and starts to tell him the truth, but Magolor shakes his head, telling Kirby that he knows now. Kirby is confused, then Magolor explains that while he was possessed by Dark Matter in the crown, he saw the memories of all Dark Matter (including Dark Mind, Void Termina, Zero, etc.). Magolor says that the memories were faint but he realised that Kirby had protected Popstar multiple times and Kirby surely couldn't be a "pink demon". Kirby almost tears up inside, it was the first time that one of his corrupted allies told him that he wasn't a "pink demon", especially since Magolor had seen Kirby transform into Eclipse Termina himself. Kirby fights his tears and tries to help Magolor up, but Magolor hugs Kirby. Magolor cries, telling Kirby that he saw his memories as Eclipse Termina, and how Kirby inside tried to fight so hard to escape Eclipse Termina's control, and now they've all insulted him by calling him the "pink demon", referring to Eclipse Termina. Magolor then tells Kirby that he shouldn't probably be redeemed at all. Kirby hugs Magolor back, telling him that he's glad he realised the truth and that his will to join their side makes him very happy. Kirby then pulls Magolor up and tells him that they still need his help to defeat Lacuna. Magolor nods and the heroes, now also including Magolor, move onto the light of the end of the tunnel.

Once the heroes make it out of the tunnel, they see themselves in an arena. However, the seats are empty, and while the ceiling is open, there appears to be a forcefield stopping anyone from exiting through the roof. The heroes then look forward to see both **Servilianus** and **Bandana Waddle Dee**. Kirby instantly tries to tell their brainwashed best friends the truth, but both Servilianus and Bandana Dee instantly says that they are not loyal to Lacuna. Kirby asks him why he's working with her then. Bandana Dee responds that he only follows Lacuna due to his loyalty for King Dedede and Meta Knight. Bandana Dee then explains that he was a Waddle Dee who was saved in a Dark Matter invasion by King Dedede and Meta Knight. If it weren't for them, he'd still be a Waddle Doo, possessed by Dark Matter. Bandana Dee tells Kirby that he's not a pink demon, but he still has to be eliminated. Kirby, crying now, asks what he did wrong. Servilianus and Bandana Dee both reply that they did nothing wrong, but even still, he still has to be defeated. Servilianus pulls out his sword and Bandana Dee then takes out his spear, and summons the wind in a way that his spear turns into a Wind Sword-Spear. Bandana Dee, crying, tells Kirby "May the winner be able to see the light of day after this battle!". And the Battle commences between eight enemies, Bandana, Servilianus, Grigori, Luca, Murena, Sabinus, Stilicho and Termina.

The heroes then fight Servilianus, who is a speedy Defender, and Bandana Dee, who is fast, and skilled, due to being trained by King Dedede and Meta Knight. And uses wind attacks in his battle, but both still lose. Both Servilianus and Bandana Dee falls to the floor, Kirby activates the power of Staraxia and touches Servilianus and Bandana Dee, making Bandana Dee remember all their past memories, before defeating the other six, and killing five of them all for good, the survivor, Termina, was still knocked out. Bandana Dee then wakes up and realises the truth. He touches himself and realises that he's back to his normal self. Kirby, Elfilin and Bandana Dee all hug, their close friendship is back and they all make a vow that nothing will ever stop their friendship ever again. Bandana Dee then asks why Servilianus is here. Servilianus grunts while explaining that he's the reason why Kirby is alive. Bandana Dee nods with confusion. Then Kirby says goodbye to Servilianus, as he goes back home, with Termina on his shoulder. Kirby says that they should all move on, as he expects that they'll fight Meta Knight next. Then a familiar voice says "Looks like you have good instincts, Eclipse Termina.". The heroes all look up to see none other than the brainwashed swordsmen, **Cato** and **Meta Knight**.

Flamberge, Francisca, Hyness, Servilianus and Zan all immediately take out their swords. Kirby, Elfilin, Magolor, Bayar, Otho and Marx get into a fighting stance. Bandana Dee just tries to avoid eye contact with Meta Knight. Meta Knight then looks at Bandana Dee and says "Well, well, well. Look who's on the pink demon's side. I can't believe that King Dedede and me took in a no-good traitor like you, Bandana Dee. Even after we trained you, fed you, treated you like a son, you're a disgrace.". Bandana Dee's eyes tear up, as the rest of the heroes get angry at Meta Knight. Kirby says "Look here, Meta Knight. Bandana Dee is a true hero, for realising the truth, even though he knew he'd have to betray you, he still joined our side anyway.". Meta Knight's eyes turn red as he tells Kirby to keep his mouth shut, and glares at Marx and Magolor, who glare back at him. Meta Knight then looks at Elfilin, saying "I'll have to exterminate you as well, Fecto Elfilis. Don't try to hide in that pathetic, feeble mouse form. I saw your true form, back outside Castle Dedede.". He then turns back to Kirby "I'll avenge all the lives that you've heartlessly taken! Let us duel, Eclipse Termina and his demonic subordinates!". Kirby takes out a sword that Meta Knight gave to him in their training, before he was brainwashed. He then becomes Sword Kirby and commences on to clash with Meta Knight's sword.

The heroes battle with Cato and Meta Knight, but Meta Knight is powerful. The battle goes on for a long time, with all the heroes starting to exhaust themselves, with Cato being defeated midway and cured by Servilianus. Hyness charges behind Meta Knight, but Meta Knight knocks him off and steps onto Hyness. He then starts slashing Hyness's hood. Hyness attempts to use his sword against him, but Meta Knight's Galaxia breaks off the sharp corner of the sword. He then charges Galaxia and throws Hyness against the wall, breaking off a piece of Hyness's mask. Meta Knight then says "I don't know who you are. But I know that you're pathetic. You dare call yourself a religious leader, I'll make sure you never call yourself that ever again.". Meta Knight then tries to press Galaxia onto Hyness's face, but Hyness holds it back. He then closes his eyes, thinking that he can never win against Meta Knight. He then hears the Mage Sistsers saying "Leader! Don't give up! You're a hero of yore! Nothing can stop you at full power!". Hyness then rises up, and throws Galaxia out of Meta Knight's hand. Hyness then summons a new sword and says "This time, I WILL WIN AGAINST META KNIGHT!". Meta Knight then grabs Galaxia again and tries to fight Hyness, but Hyness overpowers Meta Knight. Meta Knight then charges Galaxia to 100% while Hyness summons all the power inside of him into his sword. The two swords then clash, and the swords try to overpower each other. As Galaxia begins to shatter Hyness's sword, Hyness begins to lose consciousness. But then he sees three shadows of warriors. One of the shadows then walks up to Hyness and says "Don't give up, Jamba Hero. We'll lend you our power!". As Hyness regains consciousness, he roars as power outbursts through him. Meta Knight is shocked but tries harder. However, Hyness yells "I AM NOT GIVING UP EVER, META KNIGHT. AGAINST YOU, THIS TIME, I WILL SUCCEED!". Hyness's sword then slices Galaxia in half as an explosion happens between the two warriors.

As the dust clears, the survivors/heroes rush out to find Hyness, three of the five colonies and Meta Knight in the arena's remains. They see Hyness on the floor, collapsed, next to Meta Knight, with a sliced Galaxia. Kirby then goes to Hyness and taps his head. Hyness then gets up, cheering that he won against Meta Knight. The other heroes also cheer with Hyness. Then, Meta Knight gets off the floor and says "Impossible. I am Meta Knight, the Lone Swordsman. No one can beat me... no one...". Kirby then tries to tell Meta Knight the truth, but Meta Knight doesn't listen. Francisca tells Meta Knight to give up, as his Galaxia is broken, and he's in no state to fight. Meta Knight then angrily tries to grab Galaxia but gets zapped by the sword. Meta Knight is shocked. Galaxia then speaks and says to Meta Knight that he cannot wield the sword as Galaxia can only be wielded by warriors with good intentions. Meta Knight says "B-but... I do have good intentions. I am trying to save the universe from Eclipse Termina. I-I'm a hero. I'm a hero... I will defeat Eclipse Termina, even if you defy me.". He then turns to Kirby, then takes out the Glitch Serum. Meta Knight explains that he swiped it right out of Claycia’s hat. He then injects himself with it as he says that he will stop at nothing to defeat Kirby. Meta Knight then transforms into **Glitch Meta Knight**.

Glitch Meta Knight is much faster and stronger, being able to summon swords as well. But thanks to the survivor’s efforts, Kirby with Galaxia, and Flamberge with her Mega Broiler, both manage to slash Glitch Meta Knight's mask, causing Meta Knight's mask to come off his face and Meta Knight goes unconscious. The heroes then cheer for their victory.

Then, a cloud forms from Glitch Meta Knight, de-transforming him into Meta Knight. Then, after a fifth colony, lead by Marcus and Nixon arrive the dark cloud forms into **Zero Four**. Zero Four then sees Kirby and yells "YOU! YOU KILLED MY FATHER, I WILL NOW KILL YOU AND REVIVE FATHER ZERO!". Zero Four then fights the heroes, but is defeated, along with his own minion, Glabrio. Just before Zero Four explodes, he tells them that Zero will be back. Bandana Dee says "Guess we can prepare for Zero again...".

The exit gate then opens, the survivors of colonies 1 and 5 then all move onto leave the arena. However, before leaving, Kirby puts Galaxia in Meta Knight's hand and asks Galaxia to show Meta Knight the truth, as he moves on.

As they move through the tunnel, the exit gate closes, leaving them in darkness. Then the wind inside the tunnel causes Kirby to close his eyes. When Kirby opens his eyes, he sees that he's in a different room and that his friends are not with him, except for Marcus. Suddenly, he hears a voice saying "About time yo’ two showed up. I was beginnin' to think that ya'd never make it here, Kirbeh and Marceh.". Kirby and Marcus looks at the front of the room to see a throne, that was sat on by **King Dedede**.

Both of them are confused. King Dedede then says "That's what your 'friends' call you two, right?". The duo asks where they are, and King Dedede says that they're fighting a bunch of his minions right now. Marcus asks Dedede why he's here. King Dedede replies "Hehehe. I just wanted us three to fight. Just us. Once I defeat ya, Queen Lacuna will be impressed. Me, King Dedede, took down Eclipse Termina, all by myself. People will glorify me wherever I walk!". Kirby angrily says "'Glorify' you? You enslaved the residents of Popstar! You stole their food countless times and allowed them to starve! How will killing me possibly give you fame?". King Dedede chuckles and says "For years, I've trained to become powerful enough to defeat ya myself \*picks up mallet\*. Well, it all come down to this final battle!". Kirby gets in fighting stance and says "I've defeated you countless times. Even when you were possessed by overpowered beings. I can defeat you here as well! I'll do whatever it takes to ensure that our friendship never breaks up ever again after all of this is over!". King Dedede grins evilly, as he and the two men run to each other to battle.

King Dedede is more skilled, being speedy and using electric blasts from his hands. But Kirby stills defeats him. King Dedede gets angry by this, but then takes out the Glitch Serum. Kirby eyes widen as Dedede injects himself with the Glitch Serum and a mask forms around Dedede's face. Turning him into **Glitch Dedede**. However, this form is also defeated by Kirby as Kirby has already fought Glitch Dedede in this timeline. Glitch Dedede then detransforms, as the mask falls off. Marcus tells Dedede to give up. But Dedede smirks and says "I ain't done yet. I'll use all the power inside meh to destroy ya, 'Kirbeh'". Dedede then summons his electric power throughout his body so his body sparks up. Kirby is shocked at this form. Suddenly, Dedede runs towards Kirby at lightning speed and hits him with his hammer, giving Kirby an electric shock. Dedede's fast speed and electric powers make it hard for Kirby to attack. Dedede laughs and yells "It's impossible for ya to win now! Experience the power of **Spark Dedede**!". Spark Dedede then leaps towards Kirby and electrifies him many times. Kirby is then left on the floor, almost unconscious, as Spark Dedede walks towards him. Kirby then leaps up with the last of his strength and inhales a hammer on the floor, after that Kirby goes to a bucket of water at the corner of the room, and turns his hammer into Splash Hammer. Spark Dedede then runs to Kirby, preparing his Zap Hammer. But Kirby hits his Splash Hammer on Dedede's head, this electrifies Dedede instead. Spark Dedede continues to fight Splash Hammer Kirby, byt gets too injured and gets defeated. Kirby tells Dedede to give up, and join his side. But Dedede doesn't listen. Dedede says "I've got more tricks up my sleeves, Eclipse Termina. \*pulls out a serum\*. Got my minions to invade Lab Discovera and steal this serum from an abandoned testing room. It's called, the **Beast Serum**. It gives you immense speed, strength, recovery, and gives you big biceps and triceps!". Kirby yells "Dedede, don't!". Dedede injects himself with the serum as he grows in size and becomes more buff. Kirby then prepares to fight **Beast Dedede**. Beast Dedede is strong like Buff Dedede, and fast like Forgo Dedede. Damage also gets healed after a while. But even still, Kirby uses Twin Hammer to defeat Beast Dedede, de-transforming him into his normal form, but Dedede managed to kill Marcus, after shoving him down a chute.

King Dedede is in disbelief, and tries to get up again, but is too weakened. Kirby once again tells Dedede to give up, as he's too weak to fight again. King Dedede says "I don't have to destroy ya, but my face can still be the one that destroys ya.". Dedede then pulls out what seems to black paint in a jar. Dedede says "I found this when Meta Knight and me encountered a fat, red plumber and some giant turtle with a paintbrush and a clown ball-thing. Ya'd better start chanting your final words, 'Kirbeh'. Here, I'll crush you flat!". Dedede then opens the jar as the black paint spreads across his body. Kirby tries to help Dedede, but there is a huge flash of light, and then when the light and dust fades, Kirby looks around to see Castle Dedede in ruins. The sky and clouds are dark, and thunder is heard in the sky. Suddenly, a loud noise is heard. Kirby looks up to see a giant, black version of Dedede falling from the sky. The giant Dedede lands on the ground and says "Prepare to die in the hands of **Fury Dedede**!".

Kirby is shocked by Fury Dedede. Fury Dedede tries to inhale Kirby, but ends up missing him. He then throws his giant hammer down, causing shockwaves. Kirby gets crushed by these and smashed by Fury Dedede's hammer. Fury Dedede then laughs as he prepares to finish off Kirby, as Kirby goes unconscious.

Kirby then tries to remember the past memories of his allies. Suddenly, King Dedede's voice in his mind says "What are you doing, Kirby?". Then Bandana Dee's voice says "Don't give up, Kirby!". Meta Knight's voice then says "You can do it, Kirby! Just believe in yourself.". Kirby then wakes up and dodges the hammer. Fury Dedede roars in frustration. Then, Ribbon appears flying down and throws the Miracle Fruit to Kirby, turning Kirby into Hypernova Kirby. Hypernova Kirby then uses his super inhaling abilities to throw Fury Dedede's attacks right back at him. After a while, Fury Dedede gets angry, and summons giant electrical blasts out of his hands. Hypernova Kirby then inhales the electrical blasts. Hypernova Kirby then spits out a giant electrical laser which blasts Fury Dedede, causing an explosion.

Kirby wakes up to see all his allies (including Ribbon) looking down on them. Bandana Dee then cheers and exclaims that Kirby has woken up. Kirby then hugs all his friends as he is glad to see them alive. Kirby then asks where Dedede is. Otho replies that he's unconscious, and much too weakened to fight, even if he was possessed. Suddenly, a dark cloud forms from some nearby black paint, which turns into **Zero Five**. Bandana Dee, not-so-panic-striken, says "Knew it.". Zero Five then roars as Ribbon asks if that's Zero Three. Zero Five then roars and yells "YOU... YOU... YOU PINK DEMON! AND HIS ANNOYING COMRADES! YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR KILLING ME! Today... I have been killed... not twice... not thrice... but FOUR WHOLE TIMES!!! PREPARE TO DIE TO THE DARK MATTER LORD, IN HIS STRONGEST FORM!!!". The battle between Zero Five and the survivors begins. However, thanks to Ribbon's Crystal weapon, the heroes manage to defeat Zero Five, along with his minion, Caius, even though Nixon had died during the battle. After Zero Five disintegrates, Otho tells Kirby that it's time to enter the entrance to Lacuna's Fortress. Kirby breathes in and out as he agrees with the Three Mage Sisters. The remaining survivors (including a alleged 6th survivor colony, lead by a man named Robert, and Ribbon and the other Ripple Star residents) head towards the entrance. However, before Kirby leaves with them, he sees King Dedede conscious, but still weakened and on the floor. Kirby once again tries to make Dedede convert to his side, but Dedede won't listen. Kirby then says "Listen, Dedede. In all our past battles when you hated me, I could have killed you... but I didn't. Because I believed that you can change. And I still believe that you can change now.". Kirby then puts his hand on Dedede's and then leaves Dedede to enter the fortress. As the gate opens, Kirby thinks to himself "Don't rest for long, Lacuna. I'll soon make you pay for brainwashing my friends!". The gates fully open as the heroes and the Ripple Star residents head inside. As the gates slowly close, Kirby hears Dedede faintly say "Kirby... Meta Knight... I only wanted to be like you two...". Kirby then hears the entrance gate to Lacuna's Fortress fully shut behind him.

As the heroes commence into the fortress, the heroes see light towards the entrance in the distance. The heroes run towards it, but then something jumps infront of them. Kirby is shocked, seeing **Metal Kirby and Metal Marx** of him. Metal Kirby fights the heroes, but of course, with the two strongest warriors in the galaxy (not to mention six near-strongest level warriors and the soldiers of Ripple Star), the battle isn't so hard and Metal Kirby & Marx are both defeated. Metal Marx surrenders, but Metal Kirby, angry, then gets up and says "I'm not done yet... prepare for my next level...". Metal Kirby's metal then appears to be covered by an even stronger metal. Francisca grunts and says "This is a waste of time. Making yourself stronger is no match for my planetary slash.". Francisca then attempts to use a planetary slash on Metal Kirby but Metal Kirby remains there, unharmed. Magolor then surrounds Metal Kirby with spikes and uses a black hole to suck up Metal Kirby inside the spikes. Bayar then tells the heroes to hang onto something to avoid getting into the black hole. When the dust clears, the spikes are gone, but Metal Kirby remains in the same position, still unharmed. Everyone is shocked, then Metal Kirby says "Your puny attacks are no match for me now. Prepare to face the wrath of **Armored Metal Kirby**!"

Armored Metal Kirby then runs towards the heroes. Marx attempts to release a huge laser, but it doesn't harm Armored Metal Kirby, who keeps running. Kirby then inhales one of the stars that Armored Metal Kirby creates and obtains the Metal ability. However, the Metal ability is very slow. Kirby then tries to jump onto Armored Metal Kirby, but Armored Kirby remains unharmed, and kicks Kirby, making Kirby lose his Metal ability. Kirby then inhales one of Armored Metal Kirby's electric attacks and turns into Plasma Kirby. Plasma Kirby then releases a maximum electric blast at Armored Metal Kirby, but this just increases Armored Metal Kirby's strength. Kirby then wonders if he needs Staraxia in this battle, but then decides not to as it makes the user exhausted afterwards. Kirby then then tries to think hard, then he asks Servilianus to open a dimensional rift. Elfilin warns him that the dimensional rifts are unstable. Kirby then tells him to do it still, and Elfilin opens a dimensional rift. Kirby then inhales the dimensions and transforms into Dimensional Crash Kirby. Kirby then unleashes a Crash attack in this form.

When the light fades, Armored Metal Kirby is shown to still be standing there. The heroes are shocked as Armored Metal Kirby laughs evilly. Kirby then sees that a tiny piece of Armored Metal Kirby's armor has fallen off. Kirby then inhales the piece of armor and transforms into Armored Kirby. Armored Kirby then fights Armored Metal Kirby in a hand-to-hand fight. Both armored puffballs have the same amount of strength, but Kirby is a better fighter so he starts winning against Armored Metal Kirby. While Armored Metal Kirby can release attacks and Armored Kirby can't, these attacks don't effect Armored Kirby anyway. So Armored Kirby and Armored Metal Kirby continue to fight. After a long battle, Armored Kirby manages to break off a piece of Metal Kirby's armor, allowing him to attack the metal puffball inside. Armored Metal Kirby then gets angry and hardens his un-armored area again. The two then have a raging battle until Armored Metal Kirby is defeated. Metal Kirby then explodes inside the armor, leaving the armor unharmed. Kirby then gets rid of his Armor ability and cheers with his friends.

They then make it to the entrance and are spotted by many Upper and Lower Grunts. The Grunts then rush to fight them. Ribbon then tells Kirby to let her and the Ripple Star soldiers fight them. Kirby begins to argue, but Ribbon comforts them that they'll be alright. Kirby then nods and smiles at her. Ribbon then giggles as she kisses Kirby on the cheek again. Kirby then blushes as he runs off with his other 9 allies. Leaving Ribbon and the Ripple Star soldiers to fight the Lacuna Grunts. The heroes then truly enter Lacuna's Fortress.

The gate then shuts behind them as they commence through the long hallway. They then encounter three Upper Lacuna Grunts. The heroes fight the three Upper Lacuna Grunts and win against them, making them retreat. Zan wonders if those were the Generals, since their skills were slightly better than the Upper Grunt that they fought earlier. Kirby shrugs and says that they should carry on. The heroes then carry on when two gates shut behind and infront of them. Stephen then floats down. Flamberge growls and says "Come to get your weak self handed back to you, have you?". Stephen then growls and says that he's not done with them yet. Magolor then pleads Stephen to stop. But Stephen says "Don't worry, master Magolor. I'll impress you by defeating our enemies with my new form. With Darkness Magic and electricity combined, I am **Thunder Stephen**!"

Thunder Stephen is a fast and strong opponent, being speedy with lightning and his attacks are even stronger. But even still, the heroes manage to defeat him, deactivating his thunder form. The heroes then carry on as Magolor turns back to Stephen and apologises to him for being a bad role model.

The heroes carry on and enter a large room covered in ice. Then, a figure flies down and lands infront of the heroes, along with four other men. The figure introduces herself as **Aisumeta**, the Ice Lacuna General, the pararell of Francisca, and the third strongest of the Lacuna Grunts. Her men include Fukumeto, Aimeto, Hirometo and Nagameto. Kirby thinks to himself "*So this is a General and the highest of their soldiers...*". Francisca then throws a shuriken at Aisumeta's heart, but she disappears before it hits her. Aisumeta then reappears infront of Flamberge and hits him with her axe. The other survivors are shocked, thinking that the Generals probably have teleportation powers. But Aisumeta states that the Generals are just very speedy. Francisca then pulls out her soda blaster and slashes Aisumeta, Aisumeta is then sliced into two. But her top half immediately regenerates. Aisumeta then pulls out her axe and tells Francisca to prepare to for a freezing battle. Francisca battles the Ice Lacuna General and her men. However, the battle soon ends when an opening is created and Francisca slices her head off with his katana. Aisumeta then explodes, leading to her men retreating.

The heroes then continue chasing them down, they enter onto the next room, filled with lava and fire. Kirby then tells everyone to duck. The heroes just manage to avoid being blasted by fire as Fukumeto and Nagameto are killed. A figure then drops down and introduces herself as **Faiameta**, the Fire Lacuna General, the pararell of Flamberge, and the second strongest of the Lacuna Grunts. Her men includes Wemeto, Cumeto, Adalmeto and Kirmeto. Bandana Dee immediately tells her to give up as they just defeated the Ice Lacuna General. Faiameta then throws a fire blast at Flamberge and immediately rages out that because of Aisumeta's failure, Lacuna scolded her. Faiameta then claims that she won't fail in killing them, as she's been training for this day and has received even more power from Lacuna. Faiameta then says that she'll defeat the heroes to impress Lacuna and make increase her rank to the number 1 rank. The heroes then fight the Fire Lacuna General, along with the remaining frost soldiers. But once again, the heroes create an opening and Flamberge manages to slash her with her Mega Broiler, killing off the remaining Lacuna soldiers. The Fire General's head then comes off, and Faiameta makes a raging tantrum before she explodes. Flamberge states that there is one General left, the second strongest to Lacuna herself.

The heroes then enter the next room, there is electricity sparking from the walls. A figure then appears infront of them. The figure introduces herself as **Sanameta**, the Thunder Lacuna General, the pararell of Zan Partizanne, and the strongest of the Lacuna Grunts. Her men are Jumeto, Zanmeto, Lumeto and Charmeto. Zan rolls her eyes and gets into a fighting stance, telling Sanameta that he'll defeat her, her men and Lacuna afterwards. Sanameta chuckles, saying that she is the first of the Lacuna Grunts and the strongest of them since the creation of the Lacuna Grunts. She then states that the other two lower General ranks have been replaced countless times over the years, killed by enemy warriors. She then states that she has kept her rank since the beginning. Zan then tries to convince her to stop, and that Lacuna is lying to them about Kirby being "Eclipse Termina". Sanameta then responds that she knows, only she does. She then states that Lacuna told her the truth due to her trust for her. Sanameta then summons a spear and the fight starts.

Zan fights Sanameta, but she is tougher than Aisumeta and Faiameta combined. However, after a huge battle, Zan manages to slash her neck, using some power from her light form. Sanameta then gets angry and uses her power, as well as the power of the past Generals to summon a power orb. Sanameta then explodes, as her men had all died, but the orb then forms into a moon which then fades and reveals something that makes Zan stare at it in disbelief: Zero. But this time, Zero says "HAHAHA!!! You thought I was gone for good once my "final" form left this world. But no! Due to this power, I am now, **MOON ZERO**!"

Moon Zero then attacks the heroes, releasing ice, fire and electricity attacks. However, after his first phase is defeated, Moon Zero combines his elemental powers with the power of Dark Matter to create moon power. Moon Zero then fights the heroes once more, at this point, the heroes are struggling to fight against Moon Zero after already being worn out from their previous battle and the fact that Moon Zero is a difficult opponent. Just as Moon Zero blasts a moon laser at them, Kirby creates a Friend Heart and the Heart gets hit with it, turning orange and red. Kirby then absorbs the power and transforms into **Sun Kirby**. Sun Kirby uses powers of ice, fire and electricity as well. However, when he combines them with the power of Friend Hearts, Sun Kirby can use sun power. Sun Kirby then fights against Moon Zero by himself. Soon, Sun Kirby and Moon Zero bash into each other, trying to overpower each other, and Sun Kirby wins. Moon Zero then begins to disintegrate, however, before he is fully destroyed, he transfers the moon power to Flamberge. Sun Kirby then goes mindless and sees Flamberge as an enemy due to her wielding moon power. Flamberge then tries to fight Sun Kirby, but eventually starts losing, so she instead transforms into her molten form to fight Sun Kirby, and eventually overpowers Sun Kirby, making the sun power leave Kirby's body, as well as the moon power leaving Flamberge's body. After defeating Moon Zero’s duo minions, Alexander and Parmenion, Kirby then thanks Flamberge for saving him as Flamberge smiles back under her outfit. Magolor then gets the other heroes's attention, and points to the large door infront of them with the writing "**Throne Room of Queen Lacuna**". As Kirby walks towards the door, his mood changes to angry again while saying "Lacuna, you'd better get ready. I'm not holding back in this fight.".

The heroes enter the room and look around. Then a voice infront of them says "Looks like you've finally arrived... Kirby...". Kirby immediately recognises the voice and summons Staraxia. Kirby glares at Lacuna in a way that his other allies took a step back from him. The Sisters all then step forward and says "Listen, you demonic erasor of time. Enough is enough, we're going to steal your power before killing you.". Lacuna laughs and says "Oh, how childish of you to think that you could ever beat me...". Kirby then yells "Try us! We've defeated all the threats you sent to fight along the way... even our brainwashed friends. We defeated your most trusted Grunt. And this time, I have Staraxia. There is no way that you're winning. Not after all you've done!". Lacuna says "Ah yes. The plot of making your friends believe that you were a demon. It was so satisfying seeing them be easily fooled.". Staraxia's power flows faster through Kirby. Lacuna then says "Once I defeat you, the universe and time will be under my thumb!". Flamberhe then roars and slashes Lacuna, but Lacuna dodges. The heroes then charge towards Lacuna, as the fight starts.

The heroes try in their best efforts fighting Lacuna. When it seems that the heroes will be defeated, Marx appears and hits Lacuna. Kirby then sees that Marx is sleeping. Terror Marx then holds of Lacuna with his immense speed and allows the heroes to get close to Lacuna. Lacuna then gets slashed by Zan, Flamberge, Francisca, Hyness and finally, Kirby. Magolor, Marx, Elfilin and Bandana Dee then use their power to enhance the other four's own powers. All of the main four heroes slash their swords against Lacuna's neck at the same time. Lacuna screams as her head is sliced off.

Staraxia then depowers itself as all the heroes cheer for their victory. Hyness then walks to Lacuna and says "It's over. You've lost. But before you disintegrate, I'll take your power for myself to undo your evil deeds.". Lacuna can't say anything, as she is in shock thinking to herself "I-it's impossible. NO! HOW?! EVEN AFTER TURNING ALL HIS FRIENDS AGAINST HIM, HE STILL MANAGES TO FIND A WAY TO BEAT ME. Kirby, you annoying pink warrior, you have more power than you could ever imagine. That's it, there's no stopping this thing. I guess that this is the end, but I won't make it easy for them. As long as my timelines are unchanged, he'll lose all his friends FOREVER!!!". Lacuna then smirks and says "I'm not going to let you win that easily, Kirby. FAREWELL TO BE STUCK IN THIS TIMELINE WITH THE FALL OF ALLIES! THAT'S RIGHT, YOUR ALLIES!!!!! \*HAHAHAHAHAH\*". Kirby then yells "NO!!!" as Lacuna makes herself explode. The heroes then stare at the empty space of where their enemy used to be, realising that they'll be stuck in this timeline forever. "Well, now that's over. So, let's start the real fun.". The heroes turn around and, to Kirby and Zan’s shock, they see two familiar foes, **Photil, and Bennett**.

Kirby remembers what Photil did to the Mirror World and rushes out to fight the two. Photil and Bennett are hard opponents, but not so that much harder than Lacuna. After their battle, Photil is sent flying into the distance. Flamberge tells Kirby that Lacuna is dead with no trace of her body left, so they can't steal her power now. Kirby then falls to the ground in defeat, his allies are forever against him. Marx then tries to comfort Kirby. Magolor then says "Yeah, don't worry, Kirby. You redeemed them once, you can do it again. Dedede, Meta Knight, Adeleine, Daroach, Susie, Taranza, me, the Animal Friends, Gooey, oh and don't forget Bailey and the other mages... Hold on, WHERE IS BAILEY AND THE-". As soon as Magolor says this, a loud sound is heard above the fortress and the fortress begins to collapse. Marx says that they have to leave NOW. The heroes then exit Lacuna's Throne Room and start to make their way back to the entrance. As they run through, Kirby sees the remaining Lacuna Grunts disintegrating, while their knees are on the floor. Kirby then realises that there are no threats along the way so they can get out of the fortress in a faster way. Kirby then tells his friends about his idea, but when Flamberge says "How do you intend to- AAAAHHH-". Galacta Knight then finds himself in an 11-Person Friend Circle. Soon the heroes make it to the entrance of Lacuna's Fortress. Kirby sees the Lacuna Grunts that attacked them when they first entered the fortress on the floor (almost fully disintegrated), but doesn't see Ripple Star's residents. Kirby hopes that they left the Fortress and went back to Dream Land. The heroes then leave the fortress. Kirby then shuts the gate leading to Lacuna's Fortress when they arrive at Castle Dedede. Elfilin then assumes that they should be fine as an explosion comes from the gate and all the survivors are knocked unconscious.

Kirby wakes up to see Castle Dedede in ruins. The sky is brown-red with dark clouds, and the whole of Dream Land is dark. Kirby then looks to his left to see his friends, waking up as well. Kirby sighs in relief, but is then interrupted by "Well, well, well. We meet again, Aeon Hero.". Kirby then gasps at the voice and looks up to see Bailey von Pernach is looking down at him.

Francisca sees Bailey and immediately tries to get up, but can't as she is too weakened from the explosion. Kirby then tries to inhale, but he can't as he is also weakened. Kirby thinks "I'm too weakened to fight because of the explosion and from using Staraxia. The others are weakened too, we're in no condition to fight. Huh, I should like Meta Knight right now...". Flamberge then asks "What's your business here, brother?". Bailey looks at Kirby and grins "Ah, Subject of Void. I'll get to you later. I need to catch up with my old "friend".". Zan growls and tries to get up again but still can't. Bailey then notices this and says mockingly "You've gotten weaker since our last fight. I expected more from the "strongest warrior in the galaxy".". Hyness tries to reach for his sword. Hyness then says "Come now, Francisca. You know that I can't let you leave here unsealed or alive. Especially since our Dark Lord has returned to this world.". Kirby and the Sisters look in horror to see Void Termina standing in the remains of Castle Dedede. Kirby then asks Bailey how he got Void Termina unsealed. Bailey then tells him "A strange ancient named Lacuna taught me how to successfully unleash Void Termina. But before I could do it myself, she sealed me away, and said that I would only be released until she commanded me to. I waited patiently for years, and finally now I am free, as well as the Dark Lord. Now that Void Termina is back in this world, I will use the Dark Lord to spread destruction across the universe and start a new era of glory!". Galacta Knight gets up with pain and grabs his sword. Bailey then says "I see that you still have more fight in you, Aeon Hero. Well, you are in no condition to fight, I've beaten you once, I can do it again.". Kirby then says "Well he won't be alone this time!". The other allies then get up, still weakened, and agree. Hyness then says "Very well, prepare to be defeated under the Lord **Bailey von Pernach of Jambastion**.".

The battle with the heroes and Bailey begins, the heroes are greatly weakened, thus Bailey has the advantage in battle. However, the heroes push themselves and eventually after all their efforts, Francisca lands a powerful blow on Bailey, sending her cousin back and knocking him out. The heroes then cheer as a voice screams "BAILEY!". Byron then comes down next to his unconscious body, with Oscar, Lamar and the others floating down as well, with Zan, Francisca and Flamberge running over as well. Flamberge angrily asks who could have done it, when Francisca notices the heroes and asks them if they did this to Hyness. Zan Partizanne then turns around and gives them a death glare. Otho then says to the rest of the heroes "We're too weakened now, none of us can get off the ground. I can't use my abilities, and I can barely grasp onto my sword. We can't fight these three, we have to come up with something else.". Kirby then wonders if the mages will hear him out. Kirby then tries to tell the mages the truth but can't even finish his sentence when Zan Partizanne rushes at Kirby and points an electric spear at his face. Zan Partizanne yells that he's making excuses and she was helping Kirby for the sister’s dreams, and Zan is then about to kill him when Terror Marx kicks her, sending her back. The sisters then get enraged and release attacks at the sleeping jester, but the jester is unstoppable whilst sleeping. The battle between Terror Marx and the **Eleven Mages** then begins.

They are quickly bested by Marx, but Zan Partizanne's last electric attack before she falls wakes up Marx. Marx then asks what happened as Magolor responds that he saved all their lives, to which Marx is confused by. Hyness then wakes up and sees the mages unconscious on the floor. He calls them "useless" and starts beating them. The heroes are disgusted by the sight. Ignoring the pain, Kirby rushes at Bailey and yells at him to stop. Bailey growls and then absorbs all 10 mages's powers, but then combines them, turning himself into **Moon Bailey**. In response, Kirby activates his sun form and shares his sun power with the rest of the heroes, healing their injuries and making them able to fight again. Moon Bailey then roars as the battle commences.

After Moon Bailey is defeated, an third eye forms on his forehead. This gives him even more power in his second phase, but he is still defeated. The moon and sun power then leaves from Bailey and the heroes, Bailey then drops down unconscious. Suddenly, a black cloud forms from him. Kirby is surprised to once more see Zero as **Zero Six**. Komarov gets frustrated and asks why he keeps on coming back. Zero Six then says "ENOUGH!!! ZERO WAS BEATEN OVER FIVE TIMES TODAY!!! BUT ZERO SHALL FAIL NO MORE!!! ZERO SIX IS THE TRUE REINCARNATION OF ZERO FIVE!!! NOW THAT THE DARK LORD IS IN PRESENCE, ZERO SIX SHALL DEFEAT YOU ONCE MORE!!!". Zero Six then roars, which stops Void Termina from moving away and starts moving towards the heroes. Zero Six then fights the heroes.

After Zero Six is defeated, along with his minion, Numitor, he sends his power to Void Termina, making Void Termina even stronger. Kirby then sees Void Termina infront of them as Void Termina roars. then summons some Heart Spears, ready to fight the thing that he and his eight male dead comrades fought, the true reason why he was sealed away. Then, a butterfly lands on Void Termina. Marx de-summons the Heart Spears as he steps back. Kirby looks in shock as Void Termina is absorbed by the butterfly and it then forms to become **Morpho Knight**.

Morpho Knight fights the heroes in his knight form, but then he is defeated. He then transforms into **Morpho Termina**. Morpho Termina is then fought by the heroes, Kirby manages to inhale the mask off the giant, as they enter the body. They then find its core and Galacta Knight slashes it. This then frees the core. But Morpho Knight transforms back into his knight form while reforming a vessel to take the core's place. Morpho Knight then summons the true Astral Birth **Void**. And gets it to fight the heroes. After a huge battle, the heroes defeat Void, and Kirby throws a Friend Heart at Void before he dies. Void then makes a smile as he explodes.

The shell of Void Termina disappears as the heroes find themselves back on Dream Land. There is no longer lightning and thunder in the sky, but the dark clouds and sky is still present. Kirby then watches as Morpho Knight descends from the air. Morpho Knight then summons a dimensional rift and out comes **S-Cassander**. The heroes are shocked, Magolor asks Morpho Knight how he summoned S-Cassander and how he's able to summon a stable dimensional rift. Morpho Knight then says "You remember Lacuna?". Kirby's eyes then widens as he says "N-no, but...". Morpho Knight then grins and says "That is correct. Before she truly died, I absorbed her atoms and stole her power. Now, the ability to rearrange and erase time, lies in the Butterfly of Judgement.". Galacta Knight glares at him and says "Well, in that case, we'll have to beat you and steal your power. I just can't wait to "return the favor" after what you did to me some time ago.". Morpho Knight then makes S-Cassander attack the heroes. The heroes then fight and beat S-Cassandra.

Morpho Knight then summons dimensional rifts afterwards that summon **Nightmare**, **Dark Mind**, **Necrodeus**, a possessed **Captain Herseppe**, **Spivey** and **Star Dream**. But all of these summoned villains fail in defeating the heroes. Morpho Knight then says "I see. Now, I am going to summon a warrior from a forgotten past. A warrior who was feared by those who wielded power of the ancient artifacts. His prime abilities may tear a hole in time, but judgement must be made.". The ground then shakes as a dimensional rift appears, while Morpho Knight teleports away somewhere else. A warrior then appears out from it, the heroes stare in disbelief as they see **Jampiston**, the past of the Jambastion, and queen.

Jampiston jumps forward and the battle starts. While Jampiston and The Jambastion are all the same, Jampiston has better fighting skill, and Marx is already tired from fighting many other enemies before. Marx then thinks "How am I weaker than my past self? Could it be that I forgot some of my training after I was sealed. Argh, why Bailey?!?". Jampiston then catches Marx off guard, slashing him and knocking him off the battlefield. Kirby gets enraged and begins to fight Jampiston. As Jampiston fights Kirby, he realises that Kirby is very powerful. Jampiston then tells Kirby "You are just like me. I have learnt from my travel here that in the future, I will be sealed away for fear of my power. Soon, the same curse shall fall upon you. Are you perhaps me from another time? Or are you from an alternate dimension? It doesn't matter, your friends, your trusted allies: they will all begin to fear you.". Kirby then responds "I'm not like you. I'm not you at all. I AM KIRBY OF THE STARS!". Kirby then hits Jampiston, knocking off her hood, and she falls unconscious.

Kirby then helps up the beaten sisters, as well as Hyness. All the sisters and Hyness apologise for attacking Kirby out of spite. Francisca does thank Kirby for dealing with the evil version of them, but then Zan points forward that the fight is not over yet. Jampiston then gets up and summons more power, turning into **Jampiston (Light)**. In response, Flamberge also summons her pararell form. After the heroes defeat Jampiston (Light), she gets up, furious. She then says "I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU, WEAKLINGS! I AM QUEEN JAMPISTON, THE TRUE STRONGEST WARRIOR OF THE GALAXY!!!". Jampistom then summons more power than before and transforms into **Jampiston (Dark)**. The Jambastion also summons their dark forms. The heroes then fight an enraged Jampiston (Dark). Jampiston (Dark) is a very tough opponent, but Kirby then slashes her with the Sword ability combined with sun power and slashes through Jampiston (Dark). Jampiston’s mask then falls off, unmasking the warrior from the past as she is once again knocked out. Before he gets cured, Zan tells him "You are a hero. Do not follow the same path that I tread: an evil power-hungry villain.". Jampiston then gives out one last evil smile as she is fully cured.

Morpho Knight then floats down, clapping. Jampiston, who had gotten up, growls as she calls Morpho Knight a "coward" for fleeing the battlefield. Morpho Knight ignores and says "Congratulations, warriors of the present. You defeated a powerful warrior from the past.". Kirby then says "Give up, Butterfly of Judgement. You can't ever do anything to stop us!". Morpho Knight then grins and says "Warrior of the past? Villains from the present? What lies ahead must come back and exterminate you.". Morpho Knight then disappears as a dimensional rift appears. The ground doesn't only start shaking, but the lightning and thunder starts again as well, and the sun from the distance comes closer to Popstar.". From the dimensional rift, a warrior appears. As the dust clears, the heroes so shocked to see the warrior, that they all fall to the ground. Morpho Knight then says "You fought the past, the present, now prepare to face the future... of EVIL JAMPISTON!". **Jampiston's Return** then starts the battle.

The Present Jampiston tries to rush at the future of Jampiston. But Jampiston’s Return is so fast that she appears infront of her and knocks Jampiston back. Kirby is surprised, saying that Jampiston's Return's speed makes him look like he teleports. Jampiston then gets up and sees Jampiston’s Return right infront of her. Before Jampiston's Return can slash her present counterpart, Francisca sends a slash at Jampiston's Return, but Jampiston's Return deflects it. Zan just manages to dodge it. Francisca then attacks Jampistons's Return from behind, but Jampiston's Return senses her and sends swords at her, Francisca dodges them. But then the swords move back towards her, Flamberge then manages to push herself and Francisca out of the way before they are hit. Magolor then summons long spikes around Jampiston's Return, but Jampiston's Return slashes them easily. Kirby then tries to summon Staraxia, but can't. Staraxia's voice is then heard inside his head "Kirby, I appreciate you trying, but you used me too much in a short period of time. You won't be able to summon me for a while.". Kirby then says "But how can I defeat the future version of Jampiston then?". Staraxia then replies "You can do it. Just increase your limit. Remember Kirby, you have infinite power.". Kirby then returns back from his mind and makes a very strong inhale, Jampiston's Return is shocked by this inhale. Morpho Knight, who was watching the battle from above, gets his sword inhaled by Kirby, who then turns into Morpho Sword Kirby. Morpho Sword Kirby then battles with Jampiston's Return, who has immense speed and is very fast. Soon, the heroes help Morpho Sword Kirby to overpower Jampiston's Return. Then Morpho Sword Kirby uses a huge slash on Jampiston's Return. Jampiston's Return then gets unmasked and his wings get sliced off. She then flees back into the dimensional rift, with Jampiston once again winning.

Morpho Knight appears back again, as Marx says "You chickened out again.". Morpho Knight then says "I am here to judge.". Kirby then says "Your judging isn't funny. Give us the time power back so that we can restore the timelines. Morpho Knight then says "Do you not understand what kind of power time magic is. I can see by your confused looks that you have no idea. Tell them, Francisca.". The heroes then look at Francisca as she explains "Time magic... doesn't just have the ability to rearrange, erase, and look into the past, it also has the ability to... see the future.". The heroes are surprised by this as Otho says "Impossible, I've heard about time magic from Halcandra before. I never learnt that it had the ability to look into the future. Hold on, Francisca. How did you know about this?". Francisca looks uneasy as Morpho Knight makes a quick, quiet laugh and says "Francisca was supposed to be the wielder of time magic.". The heroes are surprised to hear this. Morpho Knight then further explains "Lacuna was not the first wielder of time magic. Time magic is something that can be passed down onto another user. So far, there are 8 users of time magic, with Lacuna being the 7th, and me, the Butterfly of Judgement, being the 8th and current user. Originally, the 6th user (Illus) had planned to pass it down onto Galacta Knight, but then the apocalypse with Void Termina happened. After Galacta Knight and the other three heroes of yore sealed away Void Termina. He had been sealed away, so he never got hold of the power. He only received a tiny bit before he was sealed which is why he has the ability to pass through time. But in this situation, where the timelines are messed up, he cannot use them. After he was sealed, the 6th user was attacked by Lacuna, who stole the power and became the 7th user of time magic. But now, I am the 8th user, and I will be the wielder of time magic for the rest of eternity. Now, I am going to cast judgement upon you. If you succeed, then I will pass down the time magic to one of you, making that person become the 9th wielder of time magic.". Morpho Knight then opens a dimensional rift and a figure comes out, revealing Photil. Photil then sees the heroes and gets angry yelling "YOU! YOU ALL HIT ME AND SENT ME INTO OUTER SPACE! YOU DID! DON'T TRY TO DENY IT!". Galacta Knight grunts and says "This guy, again? He's no threat to even one of us.". Morpho Knight says "Watch what happens when he's serious.". Photil then summons power and transforms into **Primal Photil**. Primal Photil then says "I was supposed to be the 7th user of time magic after Galacta Knight was sealed away. But the pathetic 6th user was beaten by Lacuna. I'm mad now! To be dragged into this timeline and forced to fight some eyeball beast! Now you will face Primal Photil!". Primal Photil then fights the heroes.

Primal Photil is much stronger than his normal form, but after a huge battle, the heroes defeat Primal Photil. Photil then flees, vowing to get revenge some day. The Sisters then turn to Morpho Knight and tells him to hand over the time magic now. Morpho Knight then flies down and summons an orb in his hand, and is about to to give it to Zan. Then, something grabs Morpho Knight's head and pulls him back. Kirby then looks in disbelief as he says "N-no... it can't be...". The figure then comes out of the darkness and says "Yes, it is I... **Dark Bailey**!".

Dark Bailey hypes up and yells "I SAW IT ALL! I SAW THE FUTURE MEMORIES OF THIS TIMELINE! Do you know what means? IT MEANS THAT I AM THE 9TH USER OF TIME MAGIC!". Dark Bailey then absorbs the time magic from Morpho Knight, who then disintegrates. Dark Bailey then says "Yes! I feel the power! My minions should be able to hold the Star Allies back until they arrive at Dark Jambandra Base. Until then, I'm going to conquer the future!". Kirby then thinks "This must be Dark Bailey from the final attack in the past!". Kirby then says to his friends "Don't go near him, or else he'll copy your abilities!". Dark Bailey then laughs evilly and tries to inhale the heroes, in order to stop getting sucked in, Kirby inhales back. When Kirby opens his eyes, he sees Dark Bailey holding Elfilin's head. Kirby and Bandana Dee immediately rush out to save their friend. But Dark Hyness copies Elfilin's abilities and throws him under some rocks. The two then go to attack Dark Bailey, but Dark Bailey opens a dimensional rift which shoots out a giant laser. Otho gets hit and is knocked unconscious. Then Zan and Flamberge both rush out to fight Dark Hyness. They manage to slice off Dark Bailey’s arms, but he immediately regenerates them, and throws his hands onto the floor. Zan and Flamberge are then both sent back by giant spikes on the floor. Magolor and Marx then release attacks, but Dark Bailey shoots out several lasers which hit them, and then throws cutters at them. Kirby watches all of this, and desperately tries to summon Staraxia, but this fails. Francisca then rushes at Dark Hyness, and slashes him, but Dark Hyness blocks this. Dark Bailey and Hyness then fight for a bit, but then Dark Hyness grabs Hyness's sword and stabs Hyness's stomach. Kirby looks in horror as the former hero of yore falls onto the ground lifelessly. Kirby then gets extremely angry and attacks Dark Bailey, but Dark Bailey grins and says "Oh, Kirby. I was expecting more of a challenge from future you!". Dark Bailey then inhales a stone and transforms into Stone Dark Bailey, and then lands on Kirby.

Kirby wakes up, on the floor in pain, along with some survivors. It turns out a secret 7th, 8th and 9th colonies had attacked, but failed as well. Kirby then looks up to see Dark Bailey grinning at him. Dark Bailey then says "Oh, look here, Kirby. Look how the tables have turned. Now your allies and some of your survivors are on the floor! Hahaha! I knocked Lucius into the next dimension. He can die alone. I threw the mouse under some rocks, I think I'll leave him there for a while. I blasted a laser at the Waddle Dee. I trapped the electric and the... uh... fire... under some spikes. I scrapped the jester, the ice and wizard with cutters. I hit Robert into the next dimension, I killed Franco by kicking him away forever. And I stabbed the "strongest warrior in the galaxy" right through his stomach. Now, what are you going to do? Why don't you get up and fight me like you always did. Oh, Kirby. Whatever happened to you? I feared that you'd be much stronger in the future. Instead, you've gotten weaker!".

Kirby tries to get up, but Dark Bailey blasts him, causing Kirby to cry in pain. Dark Bailey then says "I'm not giving you a chance to fight back this time. I'M ENDING YOU ALL NOW!". Dark Bailey then summons a dimensional rift and goes into it, appearing from it a second later. Kirby then looks up to see Dark Bailey overflowing with power. Dark Bailey grins and says "I've copied the power of all the foes and allies you interacted with in the past. Now I have TRUE INFINITE POWER. I have have the power of your foes, your allies, and yourself. What are you going to do now?". Dark Bailey then summons a sword that looks very similar to Staraxia, but darker and more evil-looking. Dark Bailey then says "I even have my own version of your Staraxia! I call it, Jambaraxia! It's way more powerful than the power of your ultimate sword. And I know that you're too weakened to summon Staraxia! Now, I'll send my present memories to my past self so that events go the way that they're supposed to. Don't you see, Kirby? THIS WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN! I've already witnessed the future, I know how you're going to die by hands! IT'S OVER FOR YOU NOW, KIRBY! YOU HAVE NOTHING! NO WEAPONS, NO POWER, AND MOST OF ALL, NO FRIENDS!". Suddenly, something hits Dark Bailey. Dark Bailey looks around enraged and asks who did that. The figure then says "Are you sure about "no friends"?". Kirby looks up in astonishment to see Meta Knight and Servilianus infront of him, drawing Galaxia to Dark Bailey. Dark Bailey growls and yells "UGH! YOU MEDDLING STAR ALLIES! EVEN IN THE FUTURE, YOU'RE STILL A NUISANCE!". Kirby then sees all the other Star Allies and previously corrupted Star Allies appear with him, and the final battle ensures. King Dedede then turns to Kirby and says "Listen, Kirby. I'm sorry for all of this. Staraxia showed us all the truth. I know that what we did is unforgivable-". Before Dedede can finish, Kirby gives him a huge hug, in which King Dedede hugs back. Then Elfilin, Bandana Dee, Marx, Magolor, Francisca, Flamberge, Zan and Hyness’s all appear with them. Dark Bailey is surprised and says "WHAT? BUT HOW, THE FUTURE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS! META KNIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO COME AND FINISH OFF KIRBY HIMSELF, NOT HELP HIM! AND I STABBED YOU, GALACTA KNIGHT? HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE???". Hyness grunts and says "I almost got burned to death today, a mere stab won't stop me. By the way, Meta Knight, I finally beat you in a fight!". Meta Knight rolls his eyes and says "Congratulations on your victory, whatever.". Dark Bailey then growls and releases Void attacks, the Star Allies dodge them, but then Dark Bailey comes at immense speed. He then tries to touch one of the Star Allies, Kirby then warns his friends not to let Dark Bailey touch them as he has Morpho Knight's powers. Meta Knight then dodges it and leaps back. Dark Hyness then dashes at them as all the Star Allies commence to fight Dark Bailey head on.

After a huge battle, the best that the Star Allies can do is slash Dark Bailey’s arm off, which immediately grows back. Meta Knight then slashes Dark Bailey’s head off, but he just puts his head back on and grabs Galaxia. He then breaks Galaxia, leaving Meta Knight with half of his sword left. Dark Bailey then smiles as he is about to end Meta Knight, but then Dedede uses his hammer to protect Meta Knight, but the two are still sent back. Dark Bailey then, one-by-one, pushes off all the Star Allies into the distance. Leaving only Kirby and Bandana Dee on the battlefield. Dark Bailey then attempts to punch Bandana Dee, but Kirby gets infront of Bandana Dee and takes the hit. Kirby then yells "Bandana Dee! You're going to have to hold off Dark Bailey on your own until we all get back! Don't die on us, Bandana!". Kirby is then sent into the distance. Bandana Dee then looks in horror as he sees Dark Bailey grinning at him. Dark Bailey then says "Well, well, well, what do we have here? The weakling? HA! A scrub like you could never defeat me. Not you. Not your little mouse friend. Not Kirby. NO ONE! Oh well, I might as well end you now. Rest in pieces, Bandana Dee!". Dark Bailey then summons Jambaraxia and the next thing that Bandana Dee sees is Dark Bailey’s sword only inches from his face. Bandana Dee then closes his eyes in acceptance. Suddenly, Kirby's words appears in his mind, telling him not to give up. Bandana Dee then remembers his memories with his friends. When he opens his eyes, he disappears in Dark Bailey’s sight. Dark Bailey looks around, confused. Suddenly, Dark Bailey feels something on his body. When he looks down, he sees his body and neck all slashed. All the pieces then fall off. Dark Bailey then sees Bandana Dee about to stab his heart. Dark Bailey immediately casts a spell that puts him and Bandana Dee in a dream. Bandana Dee then realises that this is Nightmare's power, and that Dark Hyness caught him off guard. Dark Bailey then laughs and says "I'll return to the real world in order to finish off your real body there. I'll give you this to entertain yourself until that happens.". Dark Bailey then disappears as a new figure appears. Bandana Dee gets shocked to see **Devil Komarov** infront of him.

Bandana Dee then fights, and eventually beats the Devil. Then a pink warrior flies down to Bandana Dee and holds up Staraxia. Bandana Dee understands and touches Staraxia. This causes him to wake up in the real world, with Staraxia's power. He then sees the rest of the Star Allies holding off Dark Bailey, Bandana Dee realises that if the Star Allies didn't come in time, he would've been killed. He then gets up and touches each of the Star Allies, giving them Staraxia's power. When he touches Kirby, Kirby immediately summons the sword, Staraxia, itself. Dark Hyness then grins and says "This is going to be interesting.", as he takes out his own sword. **Jambaraxia-Wielding Dark Bailey** then attacks the heroes.

This form of Dark Bailey is soon defeated by the Star Allies with the help of Staraxia's power. Jambaraxia then shatters, and Dark Bailey gets enraged. He then transforms into **Ultimate Dark V-Bailey** as a last attempt to kill the heroes, but this form is also beaten. Then Ultimate Dark V-Bailey's core laser clashes with Kirby's Staraxia, but Kirby overpowers it and splits it into two. The Void then turns back into Dark Bailey. Kirby then walks up to Dark Bailey and touches his head, showing him the true memories of the true timeline. Dark Bailey then starts crying and begs Kirby to forgive him. Kirby does so, Dark Bailey then gives the orb of time magic to Kirby, making Kirby the 10th user of time magic. Kirby then summons a portal which brings Dark Bailey back to his own timeline (and erases his memories of here so that the timelines don't get messed up). The Star Allies then go to Kirby. Flamberge tells them that they can finally restore the timeline. Everyone then cheers for their biggest victory ever. Even with time against them, nothing could beat the Star Allies. Kirby then prepares to change the timelines back to its original state, but then memories of darkness come to him while looking to restore the timelines. He then sees the past of this timeline where Lacuna convinced the Star Allies that Kirby was a "pink demon". He hears the Star Allies cursing him for his evilness, then all of the bad memories in the past, present and future are witnessed by Kirby. Kirby manages to shout to his friends "RUN!", before there is a huge explosion.

Elfilin and Bandana Dee then wake up. They then see Magolor, Otho, Bayar, Marx, Francisca, Zan Partizanne, Flamberge and Hyness looking down on them. Bandana Dee gets up and asks what's going on. The heroes then say that an explosion happened, and that Puffball warriors Arcon and Adalwolf were both killed in the explosion along with the Star Allies. Bandana Dee and Elfilin then run to the corpses of their friends, crying. Then, they hear a huge roar from the sky. The heroes look up in horror to see **Temporal Eclipse Termina**.

Bandana Dee then asks how Kirby transformed into Eclipse Termina again. Keikai thinks and realises that Kirby didn't have great control of the time magic, so he must have viewed some dark memories which corrupted his mind. Galacta Knight then says that it could have also been Lacuna's spirit in the time magic which did this to Kirby. Hyness then thinks "*Dammit, Lacuna. Why must you cause pain even after your death?*". Temporal Eclipse Termina then roars and is about to blast a laser from its eye. Then, something punches it. The heroes look to see Void Termina again. Then Void, in positive form, calls out to his friends. The heroes get relieved. Void then says that he'll fight Eclipse Termina in his shell form. Void then summons another shell form, and summons the Master Crown. He then blasts the laser at Temporal Eclipse Termina. As the dust clears, the heroes see that Eclipse Termina has disappeared. Suddenly, an explosion happens behind Void. Void (in shell form) then looks to see Eclipse Termina in his shell form. The two Terminas then clash and start a hand-to-hand fight. Void yells out "Hang in there, Kirby! I'll free you from the darkness!". However, Void Termina starts losing to Eclipse Termina, due to Eclipse Termina being much stronger than Void Termina. Then Eclipse Termina summons fire on his hand and punches Void Termina's mask. Eclipse Termina then rips off the mask and inhales the inside. Void is then inhaled by Eclipse Termina. The heroes get shocked, as Elfilin yells out that Eclipse Termina ate Void. Eclipse Termina's power then suddenly seems to increase, he then summons 10 Master Crowns and blasts them at the heroes. The heroes barely dodge the lasers. They then hide in a trench to make a plan. Marx then says "We can't beat this thing! It's not even using over 25% of its power! And it just ate Void, its power has increased greatly now!". Magolor then points out "That's not the only thing, look!". Magolor then points to the sky. Hundreds of black holes appear from the sky, appearing to absorb matter fast. Galacta Knight then says "Eclipse Termina is now the holder of time magic, but he appears to be a mindless being, so he's releasing chaos with it. If we don't take down Eclipse Termina, then we'll all be sucked into the Voids.". Magolor then points out that they could gather resources like the Master Crown, Nova or the Star Rod before taking on Eclipse Termina to even stand a chance against fighting it. Galacta Knight then responds "The Star Rod's been smashed, the Master Crown will need to be rebuilt, and Nova needs star power to activate. Besides, we have to take down Eclipse Termina NOW! In less than an hour, the whole universe will be sucked into the black holes. The universe will cease to exist. It's now or never, take Eclipse Termina down, or die trying.". Suddenly, a huge noise in heard. The heroes look in horror as Eclipse Termina cracked Popstar in half.

Zan then says that they need a plan now. Francisca then thinks and then finally says "Listen, I've got an idea. It's very risky, and it could cost us our lives, but we need to try.". The other heroes then quickly look at each other, and then they finally say in shaky voices "For sake of the universe, we will.". Galacta Knight then says "Alright, so here's the plan. Elfilin, Bandana Dee, Marx and Magolor will keep their distance as they distract Eclipse Termina. Meanwhile, Flamberge and Zan will help me take down Eclipse Termina's shell from the back, then we'll hop into the core and battle Eclipse Termina's core. After that, Hyness will find the source of the time magic and steal it from Eclipse Termina, and maybe we'll hope to free Kirby and... V-Void.". The heroes then agree, and the heroes rush out to fight Temporal Eclipse Termina.

Marx, Magolor, Elfilin and Bandana Dee then use long-range attacks on Eclipse Termina, distracting him. Meanwhile, Galacta Knight, Keikai and Striken head to Eclipse Termina's shell's nape. When it seems that the four on the front side have lost, Eclipse Termina's shell gets taken down by the three on the back. Eclipse Termina's shell then falls down. As the three heroes commence into the inner core. They find the core protected by a layer. Eclipse Termina then spots them and hardens its core layer, leaving Francisca, Flamberge and Hyness trying to slice the hardened core layer off. Meanwhile, back outside, Eclipse Termina rises up again. The four heroes are shocked, Elfilin tries to summon Staraxia's power, but Staraxia has been used over its limit, and it is now dormant. The other three begin to give up hope, but Elfilin motivates them to carry on fighting until the end, as Kirby would have done. The other three then agree, and the four heroes commence to fight Temporal Eclipse Termina's shell again.

The four brave Jambastion warriors then fight to the end, but Temporal Eclipse Termina overpowers them despite their hard efforts. Bandana Dee then says "It's all up to you now, Marx, Magolor and Hyness. The fate of the universe lies on your shoulders. Good luck.". Temporal Eclipse Termina then releases a huge explosion and Elfilin, Bandana Dee, Marx and Magolor are not seen anymore.

Inside, Temporal Eclipse Termina's core sees that the four heroes outside have been defeated, so he hops out of his core shell to fight the other three heroes. Galacta Knight then says "Hold in there, Kirby. We're coming for you!". The heroes then fight Temporal Eclipse Termina, and they nearly lose their lives multiple times during the fight. Then, when the heroes think of giving up, Kirby appears in their minds, and gives the power of Staraxia to them. Given this power, the heroes start to fight better against Temporal Eclipse Termina. Soon, Hyness is able to manage slicing Temporal Eclipse Termina in half. The heroes then cheer, but Temporal Eclipse Termina puts his two split halves back together again. The heroes are then shocked to see this. Marx then thinks "Hold on, this isn't right. We sliced his eye in half with Staraxia. He shouldn't be able to regenerate, and his outer body should at least disappear. Unless...". Francisca then senses something above her. Flamberge then thinks "So that's where you've been hiding.". Flamberge, with immense speed, then immediately slices through the body walls above him and then sees Eclipse Termina's eye infront of him. Eclipse Termina's eye then releases a laser, Flamberge (with Staraxia's power) then releases one back. Over time, Flamberge's laser begins to overpower Temporal Eclipse Termina's laser. Temporal Eclipse Termina then activates its time magic and shows the sisters all their tragic memories, seeing All of their brothers getting killed and them being sealed away. All of the Sisters then roar with anger and Zan shouts "I'm not going to let my past hold me down anymore! I am a true hero of Jambastion!". The Jambastion's laser then fully overpowers Temporal Eclipse Termina's and Galacta Knight slices through Temporal Eclipse Termina's eye, defeating him. From the remains of the eye, Kirby forms. Kirby then sees Francisca and hugs her, while apologising for everything he caused. Francisca hugs back and tells Kirby that it wasn't his fault. Suddenly, the whole universe gets unstable and begins to collapse, black holes form around the two. Kirby, panicked, then tells Zan that he can't use the time magic properly. Hyness then tells him that he'll help him. Kirby and Francisca are then taken into a mindscape with bad memories of their past. Kirby and Francisca then see Lacuna's spirit and slashes her, causing her spirit to disappear. Kirby and Francisca then use the time magic to restore the timelines and all the damage. The two then see whiteness.

Kirby then wakes up to see that he's back on Dream Land. Kirby then excitedly cheers as he sees everyone, including present and new Star Allies, Kirby’s new star allies lineup included Aary, Adeleine, Amulius, Anthony, Appius, Arcman, Armando, Austin Jr, Ayton, Bailey, Bayar, Bolanus, Bryant, Byron, Carr, Casey, Castinus, Cestius, ChuChu, Clark, Claycia, Constantine, Creston, Damien, Daroach, Denwich, Dolabella, Dunn, Edelwolf, Elline, Erasmus, Flaccus, Flavius, Frigidus, Galerius, Gnaeus, Gooey, Gryll, Henry, Isauricus, Ivan, Jampiston, Juno, Kaeso, Komarov, Lamar, Lennox, Lornex, Luma, Luzon, Magolor, Manius, Marx, Mike, Mus, Nago, Nash, Nero, Oli, Orestes, Oscar, Ostorius, Otho, Paul, Pitch, Quartinus, Ribbon, Rick & Kine & Coo, Roxy, Saturninus, Servilianus, Sejanus, Stephen, Susie, Terrell, Termina, Trajanus, Ustus, Valerius, Vernon, Weston, Yuri and Zennar. He then runs to them and hugs them while crying with happy tears. His Star Allies look at him confused and worried. Kirby then tells his friends about what happened. The Star Allies are shocked and angry at Lacuna for what she did, but then they cheer for Kirby for saving the universe all by himself. They all then throw Kirby up in the air for his victory. Then, Kirby sees the Sisters all behind Castle Dedede's wall. The three then wave to him as Kirby waves back. The three then depart as Kirby hangs out with his friends. The game then ends.

There is an ending cutscene on an unknown planet where Lacuna is on the ground; sweating and panting in fear and anger. She then says "It's impossible. Even turning his own friends against him won't stop him. That's it. One last resort to finish off Kirby. Then the universe will fall into my hands forever!" Lacuna then draws Meta Knight's mask on the ground and laughs evilly.
