Episode One Hundred and Twelve: Vision of the Dawning Future, Part Three

The battle in Cappy Town was not going well. Despite their best attempts, the warriors there were struggling to hold their own against the beast. When they had seen Meta's strike finally cause damage to the beast, hope had arisen that they might be the victor after all.

That hope had been smashed back down the minute the two halves of the creature fused back together. The attack had left some damage, as the beast now had a seam running down his body. However, this seemed to be nothing more than an annoyance, as he immediately turned back to continue the rampage.

"Sir Meta Knight!" one of the soldiers called, racing up alongside the Puffal. "What can we do now? This thing is invincible!"

"He is not invincible," Meta Knight corrected. "This is a Demon Beast; I have dealt with one before. They are strong and difficult to beat, but not impossible. I have seen once perish in his own attack. There must be some way we can trick the monster, if we cannot defeat him with brute force."

Before anything else could be said, the monster unleashed another scream, freezing all those who heard it in place. The scream then faded into wicked laughter as the beast resumed his attack. He swooped down on two of the unfortunate soldiers and seized them before tossing them aside.

In response, the others arose in an attempt to defend their brothers, but their attack came too late. As the closest few soldier reached the creature, it split in half again and changed into two goopy balls, one blue and one pink. The halves then flew around the battlefield, raining down poison over its foes. Most of the Star Warriors were able to avoid the venom, which then seeped into the ground, killing all plant life that had once been there. Those unfortunate enough to be hit had been left with acid burns and were forced to get away from the fight to try to cleanse themselves.

When it was finished with this attack, it refused into one whole. Once more, the remaining warriors took this as their opportunity to rush in and attack the monster. It was becoming clearer and clearer with every passing second that if they did not defeat the beast soon, they would all be done for.

This time, it appeared their attack had succeeded just as they needed it to. The monster that had once been Marx was now weakened and had to pause, and this gave his foes just the opening they needed. Rushing in, they attacked the monster with everything they had in a desperate attempt to stop it.

For a brief moment, it appeared as if the attack was going to work. For once, multiple warriors were able to reach the beast, and attacking with all their might, they hit him with everything they had. They knew well that this may be their deciding attack, and they meant to make it count.

All in all, seven warriors reached the beast and unleashed everything they had with gun, sword, spear, and ax. The monster, however, was tougher than they were expecting, and nothing they threw at him would do anything more than slightly bruise him. Not that this was going to cause them to give up, far from it. However, if did shake them down to their very core.

As if this had been the monster's goal all along, it now unleashed another shriek, tossing its foes backwards by the sheer force of the cry. It then rose into the air again and split in half once more. This time, a black hole appeared between the halves and proceeded to suck the monster into it.

It didn't stop there, though. Its strength increased and started to pull in the debris from the battle. As it did, it grew stronger, and it took the warriors all they had to avoid getting pulled in themselves.

After a moment, however, the pull stopped, and the hole simple vanished. It left nothing behind in its wake, and without the debris, it appeared as if there had been no battle at all, except for the acid burns on the grass.

"Is that it?" a Boxin warrior asked. "Is it over?"

"I wouldn't bet on it," Sir Ebrum cautioned. "Monsters like this have a knack for finding ways back right when you least expect it. Brace yourselves, because he will be back."

In that moment, as if the monster had been waiting for an announcement, the beast reappeared, appearing from behind and swooping down on the soldiers. His jeering laughter could be heard over everything else, as if mocking them for the futility of their battle.

"He is back!" Meta Knight called out, and he took to the air as he spoke. "Strike the monster now! Now, before he has the opportunity to attack again!" Leading with action as well as words, Meta Knight dived in, Galaxia in hand and ready to finish the fight.

The beast was ready for them, though. When he saw Meta Knight, he charged up and shot several razer-sharp boomerangs in the Puffal's direction. Meta Knight was able to swerve out of the way in time.

That, however, sent him right in the direction of the beast's claws. With a slash of his claws, the monster was able to land a blow on the warrior. Thankfully, the strike missed his wings, but it was still hard enough and painful enough to send him down into a spiral. Meta Knight then crashed into the ground, as he had been unable to regain his wings' steadiness.

The monster attempted to land on him to land a killing blow, but he was driven back as Sir Heavy Knight and Sir Ebrum charged in. The combination of the gun blasts and sword beam were not enough to stop the monster completely, but eh suddenness of the attack and their near idiotic charge was enough to startle the monster into a retreat.

As the beast was attempting to beat a hasty retreat, Meta Knight saw his opportunity. Raising Galaxia, he swung down one more time, his aim completely on the monster's wing. He had no hope that the strike would finish the creature off completely, but he did hold out hope that it would strike in just the way to cripple the foe.

His aim was true. Though the strike was not enough to defeat the creature, it did deal enough damage to his wing that it sent the monster into a crazed flight pattern. Unable to control where he was going, the monster veered into the palace walls and crashed right into the Fountain of Dreams.

An unearthly wail emanated from the walls, and in a moment the warriors rushed over to find out what had happened to their downed foe. To their surprise, the monster had become trapped in the fountain and was flailing about, shrieking as if the pure waters were burning him.

As they drew closer, it became clear that this was what was happening. The purifying waters of the fountain had weakened the monstrosity, and he was now flailing to get out of the fountain.

"He is weakened!" Meta Knight called out. "We have our opening! Charge now!"

In a moment, the soldiers rushed upon the now-weakened monster. They were able to catch the beast off guard, and, for the first time, they stood a fighting chance against the horrible creature.

This is not to say that the fight was easy. Weakened or not, the monster that had once been Marx was still quite powerful, and the moment he saw the warriors rushing him, he let out another shriek. He threw himself on the nearest of them. Raising his claws, he prepared to slash down on the Boxin and end Sir Heavy Knight once and for all.

Meta Knight moved fast. In a blur, he rushed upon the monster, striking down on him directly with the pure blade of Galaxia. He would not allow the beast to have his kill, and he was ending this fight once and for all.

For a moment, there was a pause. Then, at a tone and volume higher and more intense than ever before, the monster screamed. All those who were able to fled away from the sound, but Meta Knight held fast.

In a moment, however, it was over. The monstrosity had been weakened by the purity of the Fountain of Dream, and he certainly couldn't handle the light emanating from Galaxia. The shriek rang out for a few moments, but then the monster evaporated, finished off once and for all.

Once the monster was gone, there was an uneasy pause. Those on the battle field waited to see if the creature would come back, just as if had last time, but there was nothing. The monster that had once been Marx was gone.

That quiet, however, did not stay for long. During the fight, one of Pop Star's many moons had come up in the sky, and while the warriors were recovering from the battle, a burst of light came up from it. They fighters all turned in shock to look at the event as the pure, white light coming from that burst seemed to drive away the polluted atmosphere.

"What is that?" a young Dreamlander asked.

Meta Knight's eyes flashed green as he looked on. "That is Kirby. May we hope his battle is going as well as ours has."

(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)

Within Stormholt, Lynette's heart beat furiously. She wasn't certain she liked what she was about to do. No, scratch that. She knew darn well she did not like what she was about to do. Aside from one or two other times, she was not used to fighting, nonetheless using an ancient, no doubt complicated war machine.

Still, there was no other choice. If she refused to face the beast head on, then many people would die. That creature would rampage through the warriors and go down to where those who couldn't fight were hidden. Down, into the tunnels, to get at the elderly, the ill, the young children, her eggs.

She couldn't allow that to happen. She had to stop that beast before it came to that.

Taking a sharp turn into the recently reopened design studio of Sir Metian, she hurried over to the repair stand where the Robobotrix armor had been placed for restoring. She could see that the work was far from complete, but desperate timed called for desperate measures, and times were most certainly desperate.

Swinging herself into the piloting seat, she turned her attention to the controls. To her relief, the system was relatively simple, and though the controls were labeled in a language she couldn't read, a few of them had a translation scrawled out on them in a marker.

"Alright, let's see if I can't start this thing up," she muttered to herself. She turned a large green knob that had been labeled "ignition" and hoped whoever had written that was correct.

In an instant, the machine seemed to flare to life. Excitement and energy seemed to flow from the device and into Lynette herself as she activated the machine. Without a minute's hesitation, she reached for the controls to move the machine forwards.

This was her first mistake, since the sudden jolt also took the machine into a wall. She was able to pull it back before she was hurt or the armor damage badly, but it did teach her to be more careful when judging the controls.

Making sure to move more slowly and deliberately this time, she began moving the armor upwards and outwards, knowing that many lives depended on her being able to get the machine up and out.

…

In the hall, the warriors knocked unconscious by the steam were begging to regain their senses. Daroach had been among them, but he had escaped the severe injuries some of them had endured by the sheer fortune that he was wearing his cloak.

He forced himself up and strained to get a look around himself. Unfortunately, before he could quite measure out what had happened to him and where he was, the monstrous Wolfwrath noticed him and sprang. It snatched him up in its jaws and tossed him across the room, leaving a painful bite wound in the process.

By instinct, Daroach wrapped his cape around himself, vanishing before he could slam against the back wall. He reappeared in the main hallway, skidding across the room before stopping right in front of the door.

When he came to a stop, he instinctively felt around for the Triple Star, but that had been left behind at the sight of the recent battle. Still, he wasn't completely out of luck, as there was a spear that had been dropped by one of the previous fighters. Snatching it up, he was able to use it to force himself to his feet.

The monster seemed to deem the one moving figure left as the most important enemy. It opened its jaws wide and launched a fireball at Daroach, who was only just barely able to throw himself out of the way in time for the projectile to zip by him. It was still close enough for him to feel the heat of the blast.

Spinning around as fast as he could, Daroach chucked the light spear in the direction of the Wolfwrath. Unfortunately, the weapon was too small to deal the beast any amount of harm. The head of the spear became entangled in the monster's fur, and the beast just looked down, grabbed it by its shaft, and yanked it out, snapping it in half in the process.

The monster then lunged at him again, prepared to snatch him up in its jaws. Daroach was prepared to teleport away again, but this time it wasn't necessary. As the Wolfwrath sprang at him, it was stopped mid jump by a punch to the face. The blow was harder than anyone expected, and the Wolfwrath was sent flying across the room.

Still aching from the wounds he had taken in the battle, Daroach still forced himself to turn and look over at who it was that rescued him. "Well," he said, giving a grin. "I do suppose that's one way of dealing with a pest."

"I thought you might need to the assist," Lynette said as she moved the Robobotrix armor closer. "I'd offer you a hand, but I don't know this quiet well enough yet, and I don't want to hurt you."

"Quite alright, my dear, quite alright," Daroach responded, grasping a decorative carving on the wall to pull himself up. "I think you're doing quite well for your first time. I would just say-watch out!"

As they had been talking, the Wolfwrath had sufficiently recovered from the blow to prepare itself for another round. It had gotten up on its haunches to spring at them again when Daroach had spotted it.

Thanks to his swift warning, Lynette was able to react in time. Moving ahead and grabbing the mouse so as to get him out of the way, she swiftly sidestepped, allowing the monster to pass them by in the heat of its attack. She then tossed Daroach away as gently as she could so that she could grasp the beast by its mane and force it down.

The monster wasn't about to give up so easily. It bucked this way and that, twisting its head around as it did so in an attempt to bite at the restraining mecha. It took all of Lynette's willpower and control over the machine to keep the monster at bay.

While the battle was waging, Daroach moved back over to where the other warriors lay, unconscious, and dug up the Triple Star. It took every ounce of will he had to keep himself upright, even with the support of the cane-weapon, but he knew that he had to help, no matter how difficult it was. Once he was on his feet, he raised the weapon high above his head and let out an ice beam.

The ice struck the beast in the side, and the monster let out a shriek of pain. This also weakened it temporarily, which allowed Lynette to pin it down and force it to the ground.

Unfortunately, this advantage did not last for long. The ice melted fast and the water evaporated even faster, and once the effects of the attack were gone, the beast was able to recover enough to throw the Robobotrix armor off.

However, that had given Lynette an idea. "It hates the cold!" she exclaimed, thoroughly cheered by the revelation. "When it's cold, it is weakened! Daroach, can you give it another round of ice? One more continuous this time?"

"I can certainly try," the mouse replied, and he forced his weapon above his head again.

While he prepared the attack, Lynette charged the monster and met it head on. The two clashed, and she caught it by the neck. Unfortunatly, it twisted its head around and caught her other arm in its jaws.

Lynette grew anxious, as she could already see the armor melting under the heat and pressure of the beast, but it was too late to give up now. "Now! Daroach, blast it now!"

"On it!" the mouse shouted back, and he unleashed a steady stream of ice into the beast's side.

The power shift started near immediately as the ice struck. The Wolfwrath let out a cry of pain when it was hit, and it was forced to release the armor as if desperately tried to squirm away from the freezing beam.

Lynette, however, blocked its escape. Keeping a hold of its head, she held the beast in the beam of the ice. After a few more moments of being in the freezing blast, it went still.

The battle now finished, Lynette backed off the dead creature, which crumbled into ashes in a moment. As she got out of the Robobotrix armor, Daroach hobbled over to her. "There, the dreadful thing is finished," he said, looking at the ashes, which had already started to blow away.

"I needed to finish it off quickly," Lynette replied. "It's unknown why, but Wolfwrath venom has some sort of tie to the creature itself, so if we wanted to heal those effected, I needed to slay the creature."

"Well, you did a wonderful job of that," the mouse replied, working stiffly to doff his cap to her. "I do think I'm feeling better already."

"Still, we've got to get you and the others to a med-station," the Puffal said with a small shake of her head. "Hopefully, there will be other doctors available to-"

Before she could finish here statement, a blast of light went off from one of the moons of Pop Star. It let out a thunderous noise, and a pure white light filled the sky.

In an instant, Lynette and Daroach hurried to look into the sky. "That's Kirby," Lynette said, her voice almost catching in her throat. "I'm sure of it. He's up there."

"If that is indeed him," Daroach said, shielding his eyes while struggling to get a look, "then he is having a battle for the ages, indeed."

(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)

When Kirby became aware of himself once more, he struggled to get onto his feet. However, to his dismay, he found that he wasn't lying on anything. He wasn't sitting or standing, either. He was floating out in a stark, black void, with no signs of anyone or anything around.

"Frightened, are you, little Guardian?" a thunderous voice boomed out. Dark laughter accompanied the question. "You should be."

Kirby's eyes shot this way and that as he searched for the person who had asked the question, but he couldn't see anything or anyone anywhere. Whoever it was seemed to find this amusing. "You won't find any help here, Kirby. You're in my realm now."

In a moment, a shape materialized and took on the form of Nightmare. The warlock glared down at his opponent, malice gleaming bright in his eyes. "Welcome to the world of Nightmares. It is not a realm you can escape from."

As Kirby stared at Nightmare, a sense of revulsion filled him, and he had a strong desire to get away. It wasn't fear he was feeling, as for some reason, what he saw in the warlock did not scare him. It was more that what he saw disgusted and repulsed him.

Nightmare didn't seem to understand this, though, and he laughed. "This is the terror you cannot get away from, Kirby," he stated, appearing in the direction the little Puffal was trying to move in."

"Kaabii not sca'd!" Kirby called out, and he was truly more annoyed by the warlock than afraid of him.

"Then you are a fool," Nightmare said, and the level tone he spoke in bore more ill will than shouting would had.

Kirby attempted to get away from the monstrous being by wiggling away in a swimming motion, but Nightmare was too fast for him. Raising a hand, he caught the child in some sort of telekinetic wave and pulled him back, hanging him upside down in the process. Kirby gave a yelp as he was grabbed and he struggled to get away, but it was all in vain.

Seeing the struggling of his opponent, Nightmare laughed. "So, this is the mighty Guardian that everyone had held out hope for? A mewling infant, not even able to speak properly yet? Pathetic."

He flung Kirby to one side with a casual flick of his wrist. The pink Puffal went sailing in that direction for a long time, before smacking into a solid object. Kirby only had a brief moment to comprehend what was happening before Nightmare's hand enclosed around him.

"So this is what becomes of the hoshi no senshi," Nightmare said in a mocking tone. "The Warrior of the Stars will die, alone in this void, soon to be followed up by those that he cares about." The monster laughed again. "This will be a fitting ending to the so-called Dreamland chronicles…"

While he was saying this, Kirby struggled with all his might. This was everything he could do to fight. He didn't want to die here, and he certainly didn't want to leave everyone he cared about to be murdered. However, he wasn't sure what he could do.

That's when he heard a voice. "Remember, Kirby of the Stars, you do not go into this alone."

In that moment, in his mind, he could see them. The past Guardians. They were not there physically, but he could see them all in his mind. He recognized Stellara, and Photron, and Tchicalda, who he had met before. There were other creatures there, too, some who looked like members of other worlds he had visited, and some the likes of which he had never seen before.

Despite how different they all could look, however, Kirby felt a solidarity to them. He felt as if he had known them all his life, and in that moment, he knew he could rely on their strength.

Nightmare, however, was unaware of what was happening. He had taken the little one's going still as a sign that his victory was close at hand and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him. He prepared to laugh out in victory when he realized this.

However, just as the sound had started, Kirby stirred. A hot light filled Nightmare's hand, and he was forced to drop the little Guardian to stop the painful burn that was building up. With a cry, the Distort drew back, grasping on to his injured limb.

At the same time, Kirby gained control. Having tapped in to the true power of the Guardians, he had become supercharged and had gained his second wind. Without hesitating for a moment, he charged straight at the monstrous warlock.

For the first time in his life, Nightmare was afraid. In a moment, he summoned up a sword to attempt to ward the young Puffal back, but the attempt was in vain. The moment Kirby came near it, the weapons shattered into a thousand pieces. Then the young one hit Nightmare, and the entirety of the Nightmare Landscape crumbled down.

Once the illusion had been broken, Kirby awoke on the moon's landscape. A distance off, Nightmare lay still, recovering in this world from the attack that had been dealt in the mindscape. Closer to the Puffal, however, lay the Star Rod and the Warp Star.

The moment Kirby saw his two weapons, he knew what he had to do. The stars in his eyes had already started flashing by the time he got to his feet, and the minute he pushed himself up, he started inhaling as deeply as he could. Because of the Hypernova, the Star Rod and Warp Star came to him in a heartbeat. Taking them in his mouth he copied them.

There was a bright flash of light, brighter than ever before, and when it faded away, there was Kirby. He was seated on top of a chariot shaped with white wings extended back on either side. On the front and beneath each wing was a little golden star. He had summoned up the Star Chariot.

When Nightmare saw this new weapon, he knew his time was at an end. However, not wanting to give up so easily, he attempted one last charge, trying to strike the young one with a blast of dark energy before he could use his grand weapon.

It was too late, however. The moment Kirby saw what was coming, he responded in turn with his own blast of light. The light cut through the darkness with ease and, not having even been slowed down by its previous contact, ripped right into Nightmare. The shot hit the Distort right in the chest, knocking him back hard.

At the same time, Kirby took the Star Chariot, and remembering what he had done in his fight against 02, closed his eyes and opened the rift to the Tartarus Dimension. As soon as the rift was opened, its effects were felt. Nightmare immediately felt the pull, and despite some feeble attempts to pull himself back, he was yanked into the rift. "I cannot go now!" he attempted to bellow, but the effects of the void caused it to come out as more of a whimper. "I…cannot…go!" With that, he slipped into the void and disappeared.

Unlike last time, when Nightmare vanished, the rift did not close. Instead, it moved over to the armada and began pulling them in, with the exception of the Lor Starcutter, who was quite grateful for the break. You see, the rift could not close until every last servant of Nightmare had been caught, for no trace of the warlock's power could be allowed to manifest. Those who had taken their side with him would join him in his fate.

The rift ended by going to the very lair of Nightmare and pulling the whole place in. It was truly a spectacle to behold as the meteor the size of a palace disappeared into the gapping darkness, never to be seen again. When this act was finished, the rift closed up, and it was like it had never been there in the first place.

His work now finished, Kirby turned from the place of battle and zipped down and in the direction of Pop Star. As he moved that way, he was joined by the Lor Star Cutter. "You did it, Guardian Kirby," she cheered. "You defeated the Distort. Because of your action, this universe will be at peace once more!"

"Poyo!" the child exclaimed cheerfully.

Moving at the speed they were traveling, it wasn't long until they reached the atmosphere of Pop Star. As soon as the made it on to the planet, it was like they had broken through a barrier, and what little remained on the evil atmosphere Nightmare's approach had made shattered into a thousand pieces, and the blue sky became clear over all the land.

Kirby sailed over Cappy Town before settling down in the palace grounds near the Fountain of Dreams. As soon as he touched the ground, the chariot dissolved and broke apart into the Warp Star and Star Rod once more.

As he was gathering up the pieces, he heard a rise of cheerful calls behind him. "Look! It's Kirby! He's back!"

"Yes, he did it!"

"He drove that monster away!"

Turning around, he saw a huge wave of people coming right at him. It was mostly the citizens, who had started filing out of the palace, but his friends were taking the lead. Ribbon in particular was moving the fastest, and when she reached the Puffal, she gave him a big hug. "Congratulations, Kirby!"

"You did it!" Tiff called out.

Great cheers were picked up by the civilians, who were more than eager to greet the hero of the hour. Even Dedede raised his hammer in appreciation for the little one.

It was at this point that the Star Warriors came up, led by Meta Knight. "You have done well, Kirby," the older warrior said, giving the young warrior a pat on the head. "Because of you, many lives have been saved this day."

"Yew'elcome," Kirby said, giving a grin. He then let out a huge yawn. "We go home now?"

Meta Knight gave a laugh. "Yes, indeed, I think we should go home now." With that, the two Puffals and everyone else headed to Stormholt loaded into the Lor Starcutter and went back to the fortress.

(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)(0u0)

Epilogue

"It's hard to think it's been almost four months already," Sir Arthur commented. It was a beautiful spring day, and most of the Star Warriors were out enjoying it on the beach. The leader of the Star Warrior was standing with Meta Knight, Lynette, Daroach, and a few others observing their children at play.

"Indeed," Meta Knight said with a nod. "It's a good thing the winter was mild. If things had been worse, repairs would have been more difficult."

"Thankfully there wasn't too much snow," Lynette said with a smile.

Her attention, however, was diverted in a moment when she realized that Kirby was carrying two little ones towards the water. "Kirby, no! Angie and Lilly are too young for the ocean! Let them stay in the tide pool!"

As she hurried off to rescue her newborns, Daroach laughed. "Kirby's a bright young one, but he still doesn't seem to understand there's a difference between the two littlest ones and his other siblings."

"He'll learn soon enough," Meta Knight commented, shaking his head. "He's been taking to his responsibilities well, and he'll be ready for the next step soon."

"Speaking of the next step, I've been wanting to talk with you about something, Meta Knight," Sir Arthur said.

"Yes, sir?" the blue Puffal asked.

"You know how I've been wanting to retire from the position of head lately?" Arthur went on. "Well, I have decided that I want you as my replacement."

This comment took Meta Knight by surprise. "Thank you, sir, but I do not know what to say. I do not think I've been prepared for this honor."

"You've been prepared well enough," Arthur commented with a laugh. "I know you'll do very well. Besides, even with Nightmare gone, there's still trouble out in the galaxy, and the leader of this group needs to be younger than someone like me."

"Thank you, sir," Meta Knight said, giving a respectful salute. "I shall do my best."

"I know you will," Arthur replied with a smile.

As the day wore on, everyone enjoyed it well, knowing that, despite whatever trouble may come, they would all stand together. Kirby and his allies still had trouble on occasion (Dedede was still up to his old tricks), but things remained happy for the most part. They would fight only when necessary, celebrate when was appropriate, and live out the rest of their lives doing the best they could in everything they did.

The End.

Author's Note: This is it! It's the end of this story! We have reached our happy ending!

Thank you all so much for reading all the way to one hundred and thirteen. It's hard to believe this story has been up since 2014, and here we are, almost four years later wrapping up. I hope you all enjoyed this series!

If you need some more Kirby, then head over to DA to view Wolf's new webcomic, Hidden Star. Wolf: Hopefully, this will be out the same day that this chapter airs. However, there are some technical difficulties on my end, so if it doesn't work I will get it out next Sunday. I hope to keep my updates on every other Sunday, but like Silver I will give fair warning if I have to change schedules. If you're more in the mood for some written word, Silver has more stories on this account, especially the already running Inspector Gadget: ReInitiated and the brand new Exceptional Spider-Man, which will debut on January 21st.

From the both of us, thank you again to all our loyal readers. Goodbye!-SilverWarriorWolf.
