⭐ Memories of friendship ⭐

(ID: Kirby series fanart of young Dedede, Meta, Para Dee, and Bow Dee hanging out and interacting in various cute and silly scenarios. More detailed descriptions and bonus headcanons under the cut. END ID.)

Just a buncha li’l guys. The littlest of lads. I could literally fill pages with all the wholesome slice-of-life nonsense I have in mind for these kids (and maybe the smallest touch of angst, too, but that’s for later). Also might’ve made DDD’s overalls a little brighter to match his coat in the future. Also made refs for Para and Bow.

Sketches started btw 11/23 and 12/23, render started 12/13/23, finished 01/07/24, updated 03/11/24, updated for color correction 11/02/24. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 01/08/23. | Childhood Friends AU Masterpost

Image descriptions

Top-left: Meta carrying DDD by his hands and lifting him (with great difficultly) into the air (probably only a few inches off the ground), the latter laughing happily and kicking his feet, the former grimacing with effort and flapping his little wing as hard as he can.

(HC: Even at a young age, Meta is built more for dexterity than strength, and DDD isn’t exactly as light as the rest of his buddies - not that it stops either of them from doing something dumb in the name of a dare.)

Top-middle: Meta and Para holding open a large book between them (the image of Planet Popstar on the cover), reading and discussing its contents (as indicated by a wall of blue and green “Blah”s behind them), while Bow (slumped on Meta’s side) and Dedede (reclining back on Para’s side) are both fast asleep from boredom.

(HC: Needless to say, Meta and Para are huge nerds, often seen checking out half a dozen books at at time from the local library and finishing them before the week is out. Bow and DDD try to be interested, but they just don’t have the attention spans for huge walls of tech jargon and dusty old history.)

Top-right: Para floating with his parasol (patterned the same green-and-brown plaid as his bowtie), sweating and kicking his feet wildly, looking down in terror; Meta hovers nearby on his wings, looking on in surprise at his panicking friend.

(HC: Despite his proficiency, Para rarely uses his parasol for anything besides keeping himself dry in the rain. He is deathly afraid of heights and has gotten himself stuck in trees more than once thanks to his buddies’ daredevil antics.)

Middle-right: Bow - angered by something off-screen - furiously kicking and flailing about, her face red with rage, as DDD casually holds her up off the ground by the top of her head, looking annoyed and bored.

(HC: It doesn’t take a lot to set Bow off. Despite her tiny size, she can be an absolute terror when she’s upset about something, and the boys know this well. DDD is often the one to hold her back when she gets too rowdy, a role he’s not particularly thrilled to have. Stars help anyone in her line of sight if no one’s around to calm her down.)

Middle: Meta and DDD sitting side-by-side, the former in a rare excitable mood as he fidgets and chatters on about all kinds of things (indicated by several word bubbles with images inside, including ice cream, swords, bats, planets, stars, rockets, and Galacta Knight’s mask); DDD listens with surprising patience, a fond (if somewhat exasperated) smile on his face.

(HC: Meta is usually a very quiet kid, his silence filled by DDD being his typical boisterous self. Sometimes, though, when they’re just hanging out by themselves, Meta will find an opening - usually provided by DDD - and go off on tangents as random and hyper-focused as his more talkative buds. Not many people get to see him this animated or comfortable, and DDD - who’s seen them the most - cherishes these moments, even if it’s embarrassing to admit.)

Bottom-left: DDD dashing to our left, a determined grin on his face, as his friends ride Piggyback on his back - first Meta, wings out and free arm waving in excitement, then Para, clinging desperately to Meta with a look of panic on his face, and finally Bow, hanging off of Para and laughing merrily.

• (HC: DDD is always dragging his friends into one crazy scheme or another, usually at a full-tilt sprint and without much forethought beyond “C’mon, it’ll be fun!” Meta is often swept up in the excitement, too curious and eager to learn to worry much about danger. Para is the embodiment of “I don’t know about this, guys…” but too lenient to really stop them. Bow will literally follow the boys off of a cliff as long as there’s fun to be had.)

Bottom-right: Bow, DDD, and Meta sitting in the grass surrounded by butterflies (their bodies black and wings white with dark edges, save one in the back with yellow wings rimmed in orange and red). One lands on DDD’s beak, and he pokes at it curiously, staring cross-eyed. Bow trembles behind him, staring at the butterfly in watery-eyed terror over his shoulder. Meta tilts his head to look at her with an expression of bemused concern, a butterfly settled on his foot.

(HC: Bow will tell you she isn’t afraid of anything. In many cases, this is true. She will routinely stare down threats ten times her size and promise to beat them up on the spot before someone more rational pulls her out of harm’s way. But, if there is a bug anywhere in her immediate vicinity, she will absolutely run for the hills. DDD used to tease her about this, hiding bugs in his hands to scare her. He stopped as soon as she started panic-smacking him.)

Headcanons for certain Magoland masks

I'm aware that Merry Magoland is not 100% canon, but screw it. I implement it and its masks into my headcanon universe anyways.

... And at that point, it begs the question as to how Magolor knew about certain people to be capable of making masks out of them.

Of course, one could easily interpret Magolor just traveling across dimensions and through the timeline to find out himself, but I prefer to go with a more fun route for my interpretation instead.

I'm more than glad to share my headcanons for certain masks:

-The blue, green and yellow Kirbies were literally just Magolor giving more color palettes for Kirby because he thinks Kirby is very special and decided to give him utmost privileges. Lol.

-How did Magolor find out about Nightmare? Here's how: King Dedede has a photo of Nightmare somewhere in his castle. It's there to spread awareness to one of Popstar's earliest threats, and it's also there for the waddle dees in the castle to make fun of. Magolor encountered the photo when he came by Dedede's castle one time.

-"Gray Coo" was the result of Magolor trying to create a fake love interest for Coo to go along with Rick's and Kine's love interests. Magolor was originally going to call it "Poo" until the waddle dee staffers for the park turned that down and instead suggested it to be named "Gray Coo" or else they wouldn't put it up, which Magolor reluctantly agreed. Coo felt embarrassed and awkward when he saw the mask and was told about its purpose, while the rest of the animal friends laughed their butts off as they think that the mask is hilarious.

-How did Magolor find out about Dark Matter to make masks for Dark Matter Swordsman and Zero? Dedede and the animal friends told him about it. When Magolor first met Gooey and learned his origins, he was fascinated to learn more about Dark Matter, so those guys told him more. Dedede has a photo of DMS in the castle, while saying that Zero was super easy to remember the appearance of.

-My headcanon universe disregards a lot of True Arena content from many games, so this means that the Marx Soul stuff does not exist in my headcanons. I interpret that the Marx Soul mask came 100% out of Magolor's own twisted mind. His own invention. He thought of making an alt mask for his buddy Marx and decided to make a more menacing version of him. Marx was ecstatic when he saw the mask.

-Magolor didn't physically encounter a clockwork star himself, but Marx and Susie were able to walk him through about what they look like, allowing him to piece together the appearance of Nova to make a mask for it.

-The alternate Ribbon mask (friend's hairstyle) was a recent hairstyle that Adeleine gave Ribbon. Magolor was interested in giving Ribbon a second mask, and so she and Adeleine told him about the alternate hairstyle to make a mask for.

-The alternate DMK design (dark mirror) was not actually something that Magolor learned about, but made on his own. He didn't plan to make a secondary DMK mask (because they're not friends) until he noticed all the other star allies had secondary masks, so he figured he'd do the same for DMK, albeit just a lazy color hue change. He sometimes look at both DMK masks to laugh at their edginess.

-How did Magolor find out about Drawcia? Drawcia is known amongst Vividria individuals across Popstar. A Vividria slipped out information about Drawcia and depicted her in a painting to show to Magolor, giving him the opportunity to make a mask of her.

-Dark Daroach and Dark Nebula were things that Daroach told Magolor about. When Daroach first came to Magoland to see the masks, he thought it was both hilarious and ironic for the masks to exist. He pointed out that he didn't see a mask depicting Magolor being possessed by a cursed artifact (there's the master crown mask, but that's the phase where he hadn't been possessed yet).

-How did Magolor know about Galacta Knight? Hyness told him.

-Magolor was trying to fill up some slots with alt color swaps, explaining the "EX" masks for Whispy Woods, Mr. Dooter, Fatty Puffer, Goriath, Grand Doomer, Metal General, Landia and Traitor Magolor.

-How in the heck did Magolor find out about Sectonia, and not just that, but her original Joronia form as well? Taranza has photos and paintings of her all over the Royal Road castle. That's how Magolor found out. He decided to make the masks to honor the memory of Joronia/Sectonia and he'd figure Taranza would be grateful to the masks. Uhhh.... he eventually did, but initially he had an outrage because Magolor did it without permission. It's fine now, though.

-Magolor saw the Robobot Armor turned pink one time. It was during one time when he and Kirby simultaneously visited Susie in her home planet that contains the HWC headquarters. Magolor wanted to see Kirby ride around in Invader Armors, so Susie let that happen for him to see. That's how he knew to make a Robobot Armor mask.

-Susie's weekend outfit is, indeed, an outfit that she likes to wear on the weekends. Magolor was physically seen her wearing it, giving him the idea to make a mask for it.

-Susie has photos of her dad in the company's headquarters. Magolor briefly had a weird fixation on Haltmann by virtue of being a fellow egg-shaped money liker, just like he is. This made it a no brainer that he was going to make a Haltmann mask for the park.

Susie was initially not happy to see the weekend outfit and Haltmann masks because Magolor made them both without permission. She was getting close to threatening to sue him until he apologized and said he did it for honorable and celebrative purposes. Eventually, Susie relented and became perfectly fine with the masks existing, but she really wishes that Magolor had asked for permission first.

-Morpho Knight is very elusive in my headcanons, so how did Magolor find out about him? He found out through Elfilin and Leon. They remembered what he looks like and were glad to tell Magolor when he expressed wanting to know.

-I'll make it clear that while I headcanon the games mostly happening by order, Merry Magoland opens after Forgotten Land's events for me. This explains how Magolor knew about New World inhabitants such as Elfilin, awoofies, Carol and Leon to make masks of them. He also watched Kirby perform his mouthful mode stuff when he visited the New World, giving him the chance to make a mask of that too.

-Wait... Forgo Dedede is among the New World masks. How did Magolor find out about that when Dedede is back to normal now? Elfilin told him about the incident. He vividly remembers what Dedede looked like when Fecto Forgo further possessed him.

Ok... that's all of the more questionable masks covered in my headcanons! Thanks for reading if you made it through all of this.

[gethoce]

A new ref for my most neglected OC, Pitchion. I did change the color of the eyes to be brighter and visible underneath the mask, other than that he is the same as before in terms of design. The backstory I had to revisit since I changed some things about my AU to make OCs less connected to canon characters.

Pitchion was born a negatively charged Dark Matterborn during the golden age of Halcandra under the care of a Halcandran battlemage and weapon enchanter named Melem who intended to bind his consciousness to the Master Sword to keep its power save from those who would seek to misuse its power. Finding herself unable to harm him after bonding with him, she bound ger own mind ri the sword instead. In the process Pitchion attempted to stop her using the dark matter possession ability, which caused nearby guards to believe that he had attacked her, resulting in his premature death. Upon realising what had happened the King of Halcandra (Necrodeus) revived Pitchion as a positively charged Darksoul Matterborn. He was then given into the care of Xandos, Melem's brother.

Around the time the Matterborn genocide began, Xandos took Pitchion and fled Halcandra. Not long afterwards Xandos' soul corrupted causing a forceful separation of the two, leaving Pitchion alone in a world that was hostile towards him. As an adult he became a revolutionary warrior who planned to destroy the ancients leading an army of likeminded individuals and Dark Matter alongside a newly freed Galacta Knight. Near the end of the battle Pitchion was defeated and banished by Fecto Elfilis. As a partial soul matterborn he was unable to die, yet suffered severe injuries upon being sent to another dimension full of violent cosmic storms.

His wounds left him with permanent scars all over his body, including damage in his wings that made flying much more difficult for him. It took him many years to recover from this. During this time he earned himself the title "Blood Knight" due to his blood red coloration and constant bleeding. Since then sightings of him became far less frequent and he was believed dead by many.

Do you have any more Lizzie headcanons?

If so, hand them over

They are insanely squishy

And insanely fluffy

Galacta used to call them Elfi. Now that he's dead they don't let anyone use it, neither for them nor Elfilin

They're not exactly scared of water, in fact they like it a lot. But if you were to submerge them they wouldn't come out mentally sound

Unlike common hc, they're pretty cheerful because they have nothing to care about in life

Their nails are painted, the natural color would be white

They also have golden blood

They can mess with your brain big time! But before doing that they need to have a basic understanding of how the beings' brains work, and by then humans had already found a way to resist them :(

When they were a baby they were so small they could fit in your hand

They love to sing and write music, but since they used to travel the universe on their own they did nothing with these songs besides occasionally humming them. Most of the KatFL songs are theirs lol

Also also! They have more control over their memories than we have! If they forget something its because they choose to by actively avoiding these memories.

The problem arises when they... cannot exactly avoid the memories. Like with Discovera

Kirby horn headcanons

Aight so seeing people have positive reactions to my wing rant (70+ notes is a ton for my brain, yeowza--) really encouraged me to share more ideas, so let’s get to horns now!! Again, this is 100% my take on things, which can absolutely differ from person to person c: Feel free to go nuts with your own!!

For wings, click here!

Horns are something that grow in during mid-adult years at earliest. So, for Kirby’s species I’d say that might be... hm, maybe 800-ish years? 1000 might be more accurate, but like wisdom teeth, wildly depends on the individual, some get them sooner, some later, and some don’t get them at all. But for the most part, horns are not something that happen before adulthood.

(age of kirby’s species is very finicky so its hard to tell what’s considered adulthood for their kind. In the anime it’s mentioned Kirby woke up 200/300 years too quickly, so.. perhaps that could be considered early/late teens? Hard to say for sure.)

Although for the most part they’re just for aesthetic purposes, unlike wings which are a crucial asset to the species, some horns can also be useful in a battle, depending on the type.

I imagine they do need to be taken care of, otherwise there is a chance it could result in some form of infection, or in them ‘overgrowing’ - similar to real life’s animals with hooves when they’re not taken care of properly, which at the least causes great discomfort, and at worst, could actually be a health hazard.

These horns are durable, but it’s not rare for them to get broken down in battle, in which case, proper care is that much more crucial - because the horns themselves still contain the nerves, so it is a major injury. (Deer horns shed overtime and regrow, but a lot of bovine horns have keratin outside, and bone inside - I imagine Kirby's species is similar in that aspect!)

Common horns would include: Tiny spikes, standard goat - straight or curved, and curly ram ones. These are small enough that they serve no real combative advantage. 

Uncommon horns would include: Ibex, multiple horns, singular, and oryx - these are more suitable for combat, although the longer ones like the oryx could be very clumsy to work with due to the sheer size of those.

Rare horns would include: antlers (usually that of a stag) or just horns that 'split' in some way like a branch, corkscrew-shaped, and although not technically horns, antennae are possible too. The antlers can be vicious in battle, but a huge risk comes with them - like with stags, these antlers CAN get stuck and leave them vulnerable. Antennae are usually not combat-friendly, but in some rare cases they may be able to produce some form of energy depending on the specimen. They are very sensitive, however, and can get overwhelming and lead to sensory overload.

These are unique, which would include horns made out of gems, crystals, or some form of element, taking a non-corporeal form - perhaps not to the extent of mythical like the wings, but still something that needs to have certain requirements met. So for example, say they have some form of fire that crown the head like horns. These, I imagine could even be iridescent, and maybe if we go a step forward, may change color to go along with the other person’s mood or mentality. Horns can also be asymmetrical!!

Now, if we look at Galacta, who's horns change when becoming the Aeon Hero (light or dark), I'm not sure if that would particularly affect wether that's rare or not? Since it is a transformation, which I'd say isn't too uncommon, regardless if its elemental like Kirby's or just visually different, like Galacta's.

Also like with wings, I assume it IS possible for certain characters to not have horns at all. But unlike with wings, it’s not nearly as hindering.

[void-ink-studios]

I lived, bitches!

It’s nice to be back drawing in this increasingly interesting drawing challenge where I turn colorful orbs into character designs.  For this batch, we have the remaining Incarnations for this AU, one you can find more info about HERE (AO3) and HERE (Previous Art)!  Well... all except one.  But they’re getting their own post.

Galacta Knight: The third youngest Incarnation, he is the Incarnation of Ambition.  He is Victory or Death, and he was chained and made a weapon for it.  He carved his way a quarter through the galaxy before he turned on his captors, only to be imprisoned permanently in a crystal only the power of a Wishing star can break.  Technically much, much older than Meta-Knight and Kirby, but only be sheer years of existence.  Much of those years he’s spent in a crystal, with nothing to do except think and stare into the cosmos, until some big shot wishes him free to challenge him.  No one was one a duel with him yet.

Morpho Knight: The oldest of the Incarnations, even older than Dark Matter, they are the Incarnation of Judgement.  They are the silent watcher of everything, able to keep tabs on all powerful beings of the Universe, including other Incarnations.  They follow an unknowable schedule, where they emerge to complete judgements only they know the criteria to.  They feel a degree of pity for many of their Voidborn siblings, especially Galacta and Dark Matter.  They/It pronouns.

Elfilin: The happy, kind, compassionate half of Fecto Elfilis, and the new Incarnation of Dreams.  He is childish wonder, and Kirby’s newest good friend.  He is much older than Kirby, despite his appearance, although he only started existing as a separate entity relatively recently.  After remerging with Fecto Forgo and becoming the dominant side, he much more free warps between Dreamland and the Forgotten Land.

Fecto Forgo: The unstable, ambitious, unfeeling half of Fecto Elfilis, also known as Specimen ID-F86.  It is all the true power of the Incarnation of Dreams, including mind manipulation, spacial warping, and telepathy.  It is angry and incomplete without Elfilin, and isn’t above uplifting and manipulating the minds of the animals of the Forgotten World to track him down and remerge.  It was what initially opened the warp to Dreamland, perhaps finding the hole left behind by the previous Great Warp Event to Popstar.

Fecto Elfilis: The complete, original, all-powerful form of the Incarnation of Dreams.  Elfilis is all of the ambition and power of Fecto Forgo, and the childish recklessness and carefree nature of Elfilin.  He actively suppresses Elfilin’s compassion and emotional influence, instead choosing to warp wherever and whenever he pleases, regardless of the damage it may cause.  He is responsible for the disappearance of humans from the Forgotten Land in the Great Warp Event, warping their bodies and minds and sending them to Dreamland, although the power of this ripped him in two.

Nightmare Wizard: One of the older Incarnations, Nightmare is the Incarnation of Fear.  He is charismatic and charming on first meeting, but is ultimately sadistic and manipulative, tricking Meta Knight, King Dedede, and eventually Kirby.  He is able to invade and manipulate the mind and dreams of others and feeds off the fear and terror he causes.  He had a kind of mentorship role to Meta Knight, although that position left Meta afraid of his own body and mind for a very long time.  He is the sadistic ghost that haunts the Dream Fountain, and Meta fears every day he will find a way to escape the Star Rod one day.

Next time I post to this series, it will be Kirby’s cosmic opposite, and the miserable “family” that makes up its components.

Anyone have a good name for this AU?  Was thinking about making some comics and/or additional art, but I want it to have its own tag.  Tag or comment any suggestions!

Please remember to Reblog if you like the art and/or the lore!

My Kirby Lore: Kirby’s species

There’s a reason why we call Kirby a child of the stars…

Birth of Astrals: I thought of a name for their species and between Astral and Stellar I chose Astral. Basically you know how Kirby and basically all matter is made of Void, that’ll come later. Kirby’s species are called astrals because they are an astral birth, kinda like stars, their starborn organisms because they go through the same birth process as an actual star. (Now I’m going to mention scientific stuff) So a star is born in a nebula, nebulae are caused by the death of a star, so a star’s death provokes a star’s birth. Nebulae are basically star nurseries (the names so cute🥹 sorry huge astronomy nerd alert). They are star nebulae and Void nebulae, a void nebulae happens when Void before fully developing collapses, gets destroyed or basically explodes that creates nebulae (like a basic star) and in those nebulae are born baby voids. Now time for its development: At first a baby void is a small dense ball of light (like a white dwarf star), it stays in the nebula until it’s an infant and sets off to explore the mysterious areas of the universe, during its little “adventure” it feeds of the energy of things around it like helium from stars or gas from nebulae to keep itself alive. The environment around them influences their faith during their growth, if you know a lot about  Kirby Lore you know what happens depending on the energy Void is surrounded by and how it will affect it. Positive influence and energy= Astral or any other good species depending on the environment . Negative energy and influence= Dark Matter. During its adolescence that’s when they start to transform and “mutate”, that’s basically the birth of a lot of species including astrals.

Astral’s growth: Astrals grow pretty slow compared to various species in the ENTIRE universe! I dropped an illustration of the growth but I’ll explain it cause there’s much more to it. As babies, astrals are small, round with stubby hands and feet, they have different eye colors but as they grow up the eye remains only one color and can glow in the dark, depending on the type of astral you are, it develops horns and wings. There are two types of astrals: Angel-like astrals and bat-like astrals. Angel-like astrals are like Galacta Knight, horns, feathery wings and  paw-like hands with no claws. Bat-like astrals have no horns, bat wings, sharp teeth and paw hands with claws, however this is a bit contradictory because my Galacta design has sharp claws and teeth, soooo he’s technically a mixed species. They are also insect-like astrals that have insect wings and antennas but that’s only when a Morpho and Astral fuse.

Childhood to Adulthood: Astrals usually have a parent or guardian to take care of them, when an astral becomes infant it gets a phone and a WarpStar, the phone is connected to the WarpStar and its friends and family, the WarpStar is sentient so it can save its owner without even being summoned. When astrals become teenagers they get rid of the WarpStar because they don’t need it and have to practice flying with their wings. Throughout their childhood and adulthood they have the copy ability mechanism but as they grow they only get to choose one and an element. Now nowwww, when adult astrals mostly become knights to fight for their planet of the universe something like that, their purpose as a living organism is to protect the universe from any eldritch atrocities trying to f#ck up space. They are all given a weapon (usually swords) but it can be an ax, spear, gun you name it, when the weapon is received they have to make a connection with it to use it properly because the weapons are sentient and can communicate with its wielder via telepathy, once its made a connection with the weapon, they get one element depending on their personality. For example Meta knight has light because despite his mysterious and cold demeanor his soul is full of hope and wisdom. Dark Meta has lighting because he’s a very quick and agile dude, I’d say he has a stormy personality. Galacta I’ve no idea, he’s basically got everything. Kirby has a sword called Estella and she gave him all the elements because she didn’t know what to choose for him, he had a little bit of everything.

Conclusion: I have no more to say about this but yeah, I’ve transcribed what I remember because I was thinking about this whole thing 2 nights ago. Anyways if you read this beginning to end thank you very much! 😊

The greatest warrior in the galaxy goes shopping with the shadow of the greatest swordsman.

▪︎Prologue

▪︎Chapter 1: A mysterious encounter!

▪︎Chapter 2: Shadow Cashier Dee's fate.

▪︎Chapter 3: A new friend or foe?

(Reccomended reading music)

The sight of Dreamland's Pupupu Mart was nothing like it's mirror version. The moment Dark Meta Knight stepped into the store, he was instantly greeted with a much livelier atmosphere than usual. The difference was big enough to catch him off guard, everything was so much more colorful and light-hearted. The shop's theme song blasts through the speakers as the customers happily shop to its tune. Staff members would energetically advertise their products and give out free samples, cashiers would engage in cheerful conversations with the customers checking out. Waddle dees waddled, Waddle doos doodled, everyone enjoyed shopping at Pupupu mart! Though they were abit skeptical at the knight's appearance, they paid no heed to it and continued about their day. The dark knight lets out a silent sigh of relief under his cape and searches for the soup aisle. The variety of products and cleanliness of the whole area certainly made an impression on him, Dreamland's Pupupu mart truly was something else entirely. The shelves were full of unfamiliar brands with a whole assortment of flavors that he'd never tasted before. Mirror Pupupu mart only had maxim tomato and onion soup cans, which weren't always fully stocked at times as well. Although it was tempting to try out a new flavour, Dark Meta Knight shook it off and scanned for the bright red can with the letter "M".

Finally, the knight found it, the nutritious tomato paste. He quickly walked towards it and reached out. However....

"Lord Meta Knight? Fancy seeing you here! No...you aren't him...you're...."

"....!"

He recoiled back and hastily pulled up his cape. That shitake mask...those horns...those eyes...it was no mistake, that was the temporal warrior himself, Galacta Knight, shopping for the same soup cans as he was. Why is he here In a place like this?

"H-his twin!!"

Huh?

"You're his brother! That torned cape, those crimson red sabatons, your glowing eyes....there's no mistake. You're Meta Knight's evil twin!"

H-huh?

"Ahh I'm joking, I never liked the concept of a "good" and "evil" twin anyways. It's too biased and cruel. I still can't believe people gave you the nickname "Dark Meta Knight"."

What the hell is he talking about?

"*Ahem* sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. How rude of me. My name is Galacta Knight and yes, I am the Galacta Knight- The greatest warrior in the galaxy. Or whatever title people know me by, there's too much to keep track of!"

"......."

"So..." the warrior steps closer towards the dark knight, lowering his eye level to match his. "What brings you to this place?"

"!?!-"

[-pause music-]

What's with that look? Place? Is that implying something else other than this store?

Does he know? Does Galacta Knight know he was Meta Knight's reflection? If he does...then that means he's been toying with him earlier...but why? Is he suspicious of him?

"Hmph, I'm just here to pick up my groceries. It doesn't concern you-"

"And you expect me to believe you so easily?"

The galactic warrior approaches closer, practically almost touching the mirror knight's forehead. Never before had Dark Meta Knight truly feared anyone, including Dark Mind. But...

As his eyes met with the piercing red gaze of the temporal warrior's, every fiber of his body stood on edge. Even a fool could realize how dangerous this situation is-!

Dark Meta Knight still held his composure despite Galacta Knight's overwhelming presence. He wasn't going to let this stop him from getting what he wants. After all, leaving now would mean giving up and that definitely wasn't an option for the dark knight.

"I don't know what you take me for, but I can assure you, I merely came here to shop."

"No, that's not the only reason why you're here. I know what you're doing."

What? But he really WAS there to just buy tomato soup...unless...no, it can't be- how could he possibly know about- that's impossible. The chance of Galacta Knight knowing of his project were near to zero, not to mention that this bird wasn't present during Dark Mind's invasion-

"You're not only here to shop, you're here to....avoid your brother."

..........this couldn't get any more ridiculous.

[-Resume music-]

Galacta Knight backed away and assumed a more friendly tone.

"I know when a person is intentionally trying to avoid somebody. You're trying to hide from him, aren't you? Did you have a little sibling quarrel~?"

Dark Meta Knight grumbled underneath his cape and glared at him. The knight desperately wanted to snatch the soup can and leave as he wasn't going to waste time with this man. But then, something appeared in his mind. Didn't Galacta Knight have something to do with those Jamba Hearts prior to his imprisonment? This changes everything, because the warrior's knowledge on them was very valuable to him. Knowing this, the dark knight decided to play along with whatever his new "friend" had in store.

"....yes."

"Hah, I knew it!"

Galacta Knight lightly chuckles and swiftly steps over to his side, playfully patting his shoulder. As he does so, the warrior looks fixedly on the small bits of white paint on Dark Meta Knight's pauldron, noticing the scratches. But before he could think of anything, the knight immediately pushed him off and burried his face further into the dark fabric.

"Don't touch me."

"Ah, my apologies. It was rude of me to treat you so friendly even though we've just met. You just remind me of your brother, thats all. Haha!"

Dark Meta Knight had no idea why Galacta Knight was acting so friendly towards him. It was....very strange. He was not used to this feeling. Even though he did experience kindness from a fairy and her human, something about this encounter was much different.

"Come on, what are you standing around for? You're here to pick up groceries right? Then let's do it together, that would buy you some more time to avoid Meta Knight~"

"I-.....alright..."

It wouldn't hurt to look around, even though he only had enough for a maxim tomato soup can. Before he could finish his train of thought, he felt his hand getting grabbed through his cape.

"Forward~!☆"

Galacta Knight lightly pulls his hand, signaling Dark Meta Knight to start moving. He turns around to smile warmly at him as he does so, despite knowing his mask would cast shade over it. In response, the knight sighs defeatedly and follows along.

✭ ✭ one for the two of them if that’s allowed

((Guessing you mean one headcanon that applies to both Lor and Magolor? If not you can just send this ask again specifying two distinct headcanons, or just two asks. Anyways… I suppose this is as good a time as any to explain how Clash fits into things, eh? This will contain spoilers for Magolor Epilogue, so if you’ve still not played it and have managed to avoid them thus far I suggest not reading beyond this point. For those still here, strap in, this is gonna be a long one!))

((So, for those who haven’t read the fic I’ve been writing that explores the earliest days of Magolor and Lor knowing each other, I’ll just establish right out of the gate that Magolor simultaneously did and didn’t survive his fight with the Tree Crown. He defeated it and all, but his injuries combined with the physical and magical exertion took its toll on him. However, the latent magic where he was, combined with his desire to go to some semblance of a normal home and Another Dimension Weirdness™️, essentially coalesced into that portal to the Dream Kingdom, which itself drew heavily from what Magolor knew of certain historical figures and events, altered by his own experiences. Or, in other words, spurred on by that wish of his and the magic at play, part of the Dream Realm fragmented into that version of the Dream Kingdom due to Another Dimension being unstable as hell and technically not being a place. Hard to die normally when you aren’t anywhere.

Because he ultimately “died” while going through that portal, the world essentially ended up with two separate Magolors. There was Magolor as he thought he might be in his dreams, now living in the Dream Kingdom as a respected and successful seller of various magic items and armor and weapons and the like, who also didn’t truly have to face the consequences of his actions because they magically went away. Then there was the “original” Magolor, still in Another Dimension, who just died and ended up in a limbo of sorts due to the reasons stated above. Given the circumstances of his death and the fact that he wasn’t really “supposed” to die to begin with, Morpho Knight(in butterfly form) ultimately brought him back(on the brink of death still but not Dead dead) to the last home-adjacent place he’d been… Which just so happened to be Lor’s main room.

That brings me to how she ties in with this. Remember how the “real” Dream Kingdom essentially came about as a result of Magolor’s thoughts, feelings, and memories? The concept didn’t just disappear from his mind entirely, and in fact the idea of making a vaguely accurate(if not somewhat anachronistic) retelling of some history/folklore was something he couldn’t help but want to do. Lor, being incredibly advanced and also bigger on the inside than on the outside, can do a lot of cool things, be it having an entire bamboo forest folks can do target practice in, a large firing range that has its own sky and stretches back miles, entire obstacle courses for various skill sets, etc. She also liked the idea, and had information to work with regarding what certain figures were like, essentially allowing her to fill in the blanks between Magolor’s broader ideas while he could focus on details like items and good ol’ “what part can someone I know play in this?”. Thus, Clash ALSO exists as an interactive simulation Lor can run that is effectively a playable reenactment of historical events with a few extra things mixed in.

Of course, because things weren’t confusing enough, neither of these “versions” of Clash are “canon” in the sense that one is an alternate microuniverse and the other is a simulation in a timeline where the original events already occurred. So, y’know, there was no gem apple tree, no Shoppe, Landia hadn’t been around back then, Doctor Healmore and the other heroes weren’t just identical twins save for their colors, Taranza and the Animal Friends and Meta Knight wouldn’t have been there, etc. Galacta Knight, being the Aeon Hero, would’ve been one of the “playable” heroes(he was the Sword Hero of yore), but that obviously wouldn’t have worked for a simulation intended to be like a game. It was actually Lor’s idea to essentially include the depiction of Galacta in the period between snapping and becoming the strongest warrior in the galaxy. It’s by far the biggest creative liberty that was taken, given the fact that Galacta really went off the deep end after the other events of Clash took place. It essentially gave an idea of what he might be like(she didn’t know about Meta Knight’s wish/encounter) while also not omitting the fact that he wasn’t always the dangerous figure he turned himself into.

As for why totally-not-Magolor was included but not some version of herself? One, some anachronisms are too big and blatant to do anything other than break immersion. Two, there’s a point where including familiar faces(or in this case figures without a face) in a historical recreation goes from being a fun little nod to being excessive. Three, accurately simulating herself would have been extremely difficult because she knows she isn’t the type to say “>No you can’t come in go away”, and that would’ve meant needing to recreate her own interior and amenities and the like for accuracy’s sake. If you’re gonna simulate yourself you gotta do it right or else what’s the point?))

[best-kirby-character-tournament]

(Feels kinda weird asking while the polls are up but I can't get it out of my head now- /pos)

Back again with another question about the fic-

What other headcanons do you have (that hopefully won't spoil the prequel)?

👀 /hj /pos

Headcanons under the cut since it's a little long :3 /gen /pos

Color-coded for convenience! Galacta appears in red, Meta appears in purple, Morpho appears in orange, and Kirby appears in pink! Anything with "[redacted]" means that going further about it would possibly result in a spoiler for the prequel >.< /gen /pos

Galacta was conscious enough to remember things from when he was sealed, his mind just kinda blocked those memories (which explains why he was tensed up when he heard Meta's voice in The Fic)

After Meta's Mentor left, he was captured by [redacted] and forced to work for him for [redacted] years. He escapes a year before he gets his wings. This escape destroys his Warp Star in the process.

During Meta's time with [redacted], they kinda scrambled his brain a little, so he has very few memories of before he was captured.

Galacta Knight likes [redacted]. Right before he was sealed he [redacted] Morpho Knight. Morpho has been patiently waiting for Galacta to be freed so he could get his (playful) revenge.

Galacta gets a lot of his habits from Morpho.

Morpho doesn't have a favorite fruit, but he does have a sweet tooth. The sweet thing he loves most is honey!

Morpho's wings are always moving, even if he isn't flying. They kinda just slowly open and close when he's not flying. The only time they aren't moving is when he's surprised.

When baby Astrals form, they will sleep until an Astral old enough to be a Mentor intentionally links with them, or (in Astrals like Kirby's case) they form/land on a planet containing very few Astrals. In this case, they'll wake up, and the baby Astral will imprint on the first old-enough Astral they see, unconsciously linking the two together.

Morpho, Galacta, Meta, and Kirby are an exception to this rule, however. This is because [redacted].

When an Astral officially becomes old enough to be a Mentor, the link between their Mentor and themselves dissolves. For cases like Meta Knight, the link will dissolve 2 years after the Mentor leaves unless the Mentor destroys it intentionally, or something happens to the Mentor.

Because Meta's Mentor left too early, Meta Knight does not know too many things about Astral culture. This means Kirby doesn't know much about Astral culture either, since Meta is his Mentor.

This isn't all of mod's headcanons but it's the ones (kinda) important to The Fic and its prequel :3 /gen /pos

Sadboi's Incredibly Strange Multifandom Adventure - Chapter 17: Dark Matter Returns

Sadboi decided that the next universe to visit would be the one of Kirby. Sadboi had always found the laid-back yet adventurous -- and sometimes horror-like -- tone of Dream Land very alluring, and it was also home to her favorite character: Meta Knight. Of course, her group was very familiar with the plushie of him that Sadboi would always carry around, but the thought of actually meeting him put butterflies in her stomach -- in a good way, of course.

The group stepped through the portal and emerged in a lush, colorful world filled with floating islands. The sky was a canvas of pastel colors, and the air smelled faintly of freshly baked cookies. The sight of Waddle Dees wandering around in peace brought a smile to everyone's faces.

Sadboi took a look around to place their current location in the universe. "This place looks like Bubbly Clouds," she murmured, her voice a tone of excitement and awe.

"Bubbly Clouds!" Sponge Bob squealed. "We're in for a treat! This place is like a giant spa for jellyfish!"

However, Sadboi felt her vibesense suddenly spike amidst the calm aura. She looked up to the sky and her tone became one of immediate concern. "Uh oh. Feels like Dark Matter."

The French Narrator's eyes grew wide. "Ah, the great nemesis of the stars," he said. "We must act swiftly, for its presence foretells chaos." Sadboi nodded, "Yesyes, and the embodiment of negative energy itself. Let's find Kirby and his friends, and quick!"

They split into pairs to cover more ground, with SpongeBob and Patrick sticking together, and Twilight and Sandy forming another team. Sonic and Tails took the lead, their speed allowing them to cut through the clouds with ease. Meanwhile, Sadboi and the French Narrator remained on the ground, using her vibesense to track the malevolent force.

Sadboi kept focused as she used her vibesense; from her understanding, Dark Matter and Kirby were two sides of the same coin -- one of sheer negative emotion, the other of sheer positive emotion. Her synthetic skin pulsed with a cobalt coloration as she focused, but she couldn't help but feel watched.

The French Narrator, seemingly unfazed by the looming threat, sauntered alongside her, monocle glinting in the ethereal light. "Ah, Sadboi," he began, "this place brings back memories of battles long ago. Yet, the vibe here is so… soothing."

Sadboi nodded, her focus remaining unbroken. "This place is very nostalgic to me, it holds so much significance. I vividly remember playing the games with my siblings whenever I could, a series of untainted memories before…well, y'know. My first Kirby game was Super Star Ultra on the Nintendo DS, and I vaguely remember fighting Galacta Knight for the first time. He's sort of…a mirror to Meta Knight, in a way. Being the final fight of most of the side modes where he's playable."

The French Narrator nodded, his expression understanding. "Indeed, the bonds we forge through our favorite stories can be profound. Now, let us find Kirby and his allies before the darkness consumes this land."

"Ah-huh." Sadboi agreed, "I have my bets that Kirby's already caught onto what's happening. Nothing goes on behind the pink puffball's eyes other than food, sleep, and his good nature." Sadboi glanced around, her eyeholes kept peeled for any sign of trouble.

The group's path took a sudden turn as a screeching sound pierced the serene ambiance. The clouds grew darker as a swarm of Waddle Dees, eyes red with corruption, descended upon them. "It's started," Sadboi whispered, her vibesense on high alert. The corrupted Waddle Dees looked more like twisted nightmares than the adorable creatures they were meant to be. "Surprising that Dark Matter managed to make Waddle Dees unsettling." Sadboi quipped.

The French Narrator, unflappable, pulled out a fancy laser pen from his pocket and began sketching a battle strategy in the air. "We must purify them," he said calmly. "Their hearts are not truly corrupted, but rather under the sway of Dark Matter's influence."

Sadboi nodded, she had seen similar abilities from Dark Matter in Crystal Shards. "Right, let's begin."

The battle was a whirlwind of color and sound. SpongeBob and Patrick took on the corrupted Waddle Dees with their signature brand of bumbling enthusiasm, accidentally knocking into each other more than their foes. Twilight and Sandy, on the other hand, moved with precision and grace, their teamwork honed from countless battles. Sonic and Tails streaked through the sky, leaving trails of light as they dodged and struck the floating foes. Sadboi, however, kept her focus during the battle, using her vibesense to track the source of the corruption. It was undoubtedly Dark Matter, but the thought of a Zero-Three made her heart race. But if there was now a seventh Element of Harmony and The French Narrator was now a Kamen Rider, then she supposed that anything was on the table.

As the fight continued, the clouds grew heavier with malicious energy. The ground trembled beneath them, and the once serene landscape of Bubbly Clouds was now a battlefield. Sadboi felt a powerful vibe, and her eyes went wide. "Guys! It's coming!" she shouted over the din.

Sadboi's eyeholes narrowed as she tried to make sense of the incoming enemy. She quickly made some deductions, such as the location. "It's Kracko, corrupted by Dark Matter."

The French Narrator's drawing grew more intense. "Ah, Kracko," he murmured, "a classic foe. But now, it seems, we must face a darker version of him."

The corrupted Kracko swooped down from the clouds, its eye glowing a malevolent red. The group readied themselves, their unity a stark contrast to the chaos around them. Sadboi raised her hand, a digital shield materializing in front of her. "I'll try to purify it!" she exclaimed.

The Kracko, now a twisted version of its former self, released a barrage of dark energy bolts. Sadboi's shield absorbed the first few, but the sheer power of the corruption was overwhelming. The French Narrator stepped in, transforming into Kamen Rider Dolphin. His eyes flashed with determination as he raised his trident. "We shall not let the light of this world be extinguished!" he declared.

With a flick of his wrist, he sent a bolt of blue lightning into the Kracko's eye, stunning it momentarily. The others took advantage of the opening, each attacking with their own unique abilities. Sponge Bob shot bubbles that captured the stunned Waddle Dees, trapping them safely. Twilight cast a spell that coated the Kracko in a glowing aura, weakening the hold of the darkness. Sandy swung her lasso, wrapping around Kracko's neck and pulling it towards the ground.

But the creature was too powerful, and the corruption was spreading rapidly. Sadboi knew they needed a more drastic measure. "Guys, I think I know what to do!" she called out, her eyes flashing with an idea. "The Element of Synthesis!"

Her friends paused in their attacks, looking at her with hope. Twilight nodded. "The Element of Synthesis is known for its purifying abilities. It might just be the key to free Kracko!"

Sadboi closed her eyes and focused, her past experiences with the element giving her the strength she needed. A soft, pulsing light began to emanate from her chest, growing stronger until it was a beacon in the chaos. The corrupted Kracko roared, feeling the power of the element invading its form.

The French Narrator took a step back, his eyes wide with wonder. "Sadboi," he whispered, "you've tapped into something incredible."

With a final burst of light, the Element of Synthesis surged through Kracko's body, the darkness recoiling before it. The creature convulsed, its corrupted form contorting as the light grew brighter and brighter. And then, with a deafening crack, the corruption was gone, leaving the original Kracko, now free from Dark Matter's grip, floating in the sky.

The once-twisted Waddle Dees dropped to the ground, their eyes returning to their normal color, looking dazed and confused. The Kracko looked around, seeming to realize the horror it had just caused. It let out a defeated squawk before flying away, no doubt seeking to recover from the ordeal.

The group watched as the skies cleared, the clouds parting to reveal the bright, pastel world of Dream Land once more. The French Narrator patted Sadboi on the back, his smile wide. "Magnificent! Your connection to the elements truly knows no bounds."

Sadboi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride swell in her chest. "Thanks," she murmured, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "But we can't just stand around. We have to find Kirby and tell him what's happening."

As the group moved throughout Dream Land, from Green Greens to Grape Garden, Sadboi kept her eyeholes peeled for Kirby.

"You know, it's weird," she said to the French Narrator as they walked. "I've seen so much of the worlds I love in trouble, but none of them have felt quite as…personal as this." Her words continued to hold her concern, as she was aware of the kind of havoc Dark Matter could wreak.

The French Narrator nodded in understanding. "Each victory, each bond formed, makes our hearts grow stronger. It's natural to feel this way, especially when we're in a world that brings such joy to you."

As they ventured further into the heart of Dream Land, the vibrant colors grew more vivid, and the sounds of life grew louder. They encountered various inhabitants, each with tales of strange happenings since the dark vibes had started to spread. The group grew more urgent in their search for Kirby, knowing that time was of the essence.

But of course, it would only be a matter of time before the group bumped into the puffball. Sadboi's expression lit up when she saw Kirby.

"Kirby!" she exclaimed, waving her arms in the air. The little hero looked over, his eyes lighting up at the sight of them. He floated closer, his cheeks puffing up slightly as he studied them with curiosity.

Sadboi quickly explained her side of the situation to the pink puff, who nodded along with her every word. But of course, Sadboi noticed the absence of King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, and, most importantly (to Sadboi), Meta Knight. She spoke up, not really expecting much of a verbal response other than a few poyos, "Hey, where are your buddies?" her voice held a hint of concern.

Kirby responded by inhaling deeply and then exhaling a series of bubbles, which formed into the images of his missing companions. The French Narrator, with his vast experience in interpreting various forms of communication, translated, "They have been captured by Dark Matter, along with many others. We must act swiftly to save them and purify this land."

The group nodded in unison, understanding the gravity of the situation.

"Then we've got to find Dark Matter's base!" Sonic exclaimed, his voice filled with urgency.

Sadboi shook her head a bit, "Problem is, Dark Matter isn't just some…earthly entity. They're a hive of embodiments of negative emotion. The Dark Matter collective has a leader, and I have a feeling that there has been an emergence of a Zero-Three. But with Kirby alongside us, I have no doubt in my mind that we have all the right tools to find this hypothetical Zero-Three and run them into the ground."

The group nodded, their determination unwavering. They set off in the direction indicated by Kirby's bubble communication, traversing through the ever-changing landscapes of Dream Land. The journey was not without its challenges; corrupted Whispy Woods and Kracko Jr.s were scattered throughout, but the team worked together seamlessly, each member's unique skills complementing the others'. Throughout the adventure, Sadboi kept her vibesense peeled.

As they approached the final stretch, the vibes grew stronger, a palpable sense of dread hanging in the air. The colors around them began to drain, and the once vibrant world grew dull. They had arrived at the corrupted heart of Dream Land.

Sadboi had her eyeholes peeled, and as she felt a familiar vibesense signature that caused her eyeholes to widen out of her concentration. Her heart began to race as she saw a blade wedged in the ground in front of them. Sadboi stepped up, having recognized the scene's familiar setup.

"Guys, I think we're in for a surprise," she murmured, her voice a mix of excitement and anticipation. Sadboi gazed up and saw the faint outline of a cape fluttering in the wind, the figure waiting paitently upon a cliff. Then, gathering all her courage, she pulled the blade out of the ground, and the battle began.

Meta Knight dove down from the ledge, his eyes gleaming with a steely resolve. He was corrupted, his once noble form tainted by the touch of Dark Matter. The group gasped in horror, but Sadboi's determination didn't waver, having transformed into her Kamen Rider form. She knew that her favorite character was in there, somewhere. She knew his moveset like the back of her own hand, after all, he was her favorite.

The duel between Meta Knight and Sadboi was a flurry of sword strikes and energy blasts, each blow echoing through the corrupted Dream Land. Meta Knight's blade, Galaxia, clashed against Sadboi's own blade, sparks flying in a dazzling display of power. Sadboi combatted Meta Knight's Mach Tornadoes with blasts of calming vibesense energy. With each slash that Sadboi managed to parry, the clattering of steel was a satisfying sound to her ears.

The French Narrator watched with a mix of admiration and concern. "You must reach out to him, Sadboi," he called out. "Use your vibesense to show him the error of his ways."

Sadboi nodded, and she went on the defensive. "I'll get him to his normal self in no time, I'll promise ya that!" She spoke in her midwestern drawl, her focus never breaking.

The battle was intense, with Meta Knight's corrupted power pushing Sadboi to her limits. Yet she remained hopeful, her vibesense reaching out to the core of the creature's being. She searched for the light within, the essence of the hero she knew he was. The clash of steel rang out as they danced through the desolate landscape.

However, Sadboi's determination pulled her through, and she managed to pin the corrupted Meta Knight to the ground, her blade pushing against his mask. Her tone softened as she began to reach out to him through her vibesense, "I know that this isn't you. Me and my friends, we're only here to make things right." her words seeped with a calming tone.

Meta Knight struggled beneath her, but his movements grew weaker as the dark vibes that had been controlling him began to dissipate. His eyes, once a cold, lifeless black, flickered back to their original yellow. The corruption around him receded, and the land started to regain its vibrancy.

Sadboi felt a surge of relief and joy as she saw the light returning to Meta Knight's eyes. "You're back," she whispered. The French Narrator stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Now, we must purify the rest of Dream Land," he said, his voice filled with resolve.

"Yesyes," Sadboi said, "And perhaps, we even have a new ally." Her voice, while exhausted, had a tone of hope.

Meta Knight's eyes searched the group, finally resting on Sadboi. The once cold gaze had been replaced with a spark of recognition. "You… you're the one," he murmured, his voice strained from the corruption. Sadboi nodded, and her heart swelled with pride despite the gravity of the situation.

"We're all friends here," she said gently. "We want to help you, and all of Dream Land."

Meta Knight's mask cracked, and a tear fell from his eye. The weight of his actions and the corruption that had taken hold of him were clear in his gaze. He nodded weakly. "I… I understand."

The group stood together, a diverse assembly of heroes from across the multiverse. They had faced so much together, and now they had a new ally in the fight against the Dark Matter. With Meta Knight back on their side, they were stronger than ever.

The French Narrator looked around, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "The Dark Matter's stronghold must be nearby," he exclaimed. "We shall not rest until we have restored peace to this realm!"

They set off again, the now-free Meta Knight guiding them with silent nods and gestures. The journey was fraught with danger, as more corrupted creatures of Dream Land attempted to hinder their progress. But the unity of the group was unshakeable, each member using their unique abilities to combat the darkness.

As they approached the stronghold, a foreboding castle loomed into view. It was a twisted reflection of the bright and cheerful world they knew, a place where shadows danced and malevolence reigned. The group steeled themselves for what was to come.

Inside the castle, they faced a horde of corrupted beings, each one a twisted version of a character they had come to love. But their resolve was unyielding, and they pushed through the darkness.

The final battle was against the Zero-Three, a being of pure malice. It towered over them, a monstrous amalgamation of corrupted emotions. The French Narrator transformed into his ultimate form, Kamen Rider Dolphin Azure. "We stand united," he announced, "against the tide of despair!"

Sadboi nodded, her eyes flashing pink. "Let's do this," she murmured, her vibesense pulsing with power. The group launched into action, each member attacking with everything they had. SpongeBob's bubbles captured the minions, while Patrick's brute strength smashed through the castle walls.

Meta Knight and Sadboi worked in tandem, their swords flashing in a mesmerizing dance. Each strike was a declaration of hope against the Zero-Three's tyranny. The creature roared, feeling the purifying light of Sadboi's vibesense.

Zero-Three grew more desperate, its form morphing into a nightmarish creature of writhing shadows. It unleashed a wave of dark energy, threatening to consume the heroes. But they stood firm, their bonds of friendship acting as a shield.

Sadboi saw her chance and focused her vibesense into a single point, creating a beacon of light. "This is for everyone we've lost!" she yelled, charging the light. It grew into a blinding beam, piercing the Zero-Three's core.

The creature shrieked in agony as the light began to purify it from the inside out. The castle around them started to crumble, the corrupted beings within dissolving into motes of light. The Zero-Three's power waned, and with a final, desperate roar, it was no more.

The castle collapsed in on itself, leaving the group standing in a clearing amidst the ruins. The sky cleared, revealing the once vibrant Dream Land in all its glory. The inhabitants of the world began to emerge from their hiding places, their eyes wide with amazement.

Kirby, now fully restored, floated over to Sadboi and gave her a gentle hug, his cheeks puffing out in a content sigh. The other heroes gathered around, each offering their thanks and admiration.

The French Narrator stepped back, his form returning to normal. "Sadboi," he said with a smile, "you've painted Dream Land with hope once more. Your journey through the multiverse has not been in vain."

Sadboi looked around at her friends, a warmth spreading through her. "We did it," she murmured, "together." The group nodded, their eyes reflecting the light of their victory.

As the citizens of Dream Land cheered, the friends knew that their adventure wasn't over. There were more worlds to save, more friends to make. But for now, they basked in the joy of their triumph, their hearts forever linked by the bonds they had formed in the face of darkness.

And as they left Dream Land, setting their sights on new challenges, Sadboi felt a newfound confidence within her. The traumas of her past no longer defined her; she was a hero, a beacon of light in a vast multiverse of possibilities.
