Planet Popstar, Reef Resort

They soon came out of the Goal door as Noire said.

Noire: It looks like this Meta Knight person isn't here either.

Nepgear: Well, there's always the other three locations that he could possibly be there.

Magolor: Exactly, so we should head to Echo's Edge next.

Uni: Great, so let's get moving.

Before they can move forward to the next location, King Dedede said.

King Dedede: Say, isn't that Adeleine and Ribbon up ahead.

Next, they all look straight ahead and saw a fairy that was floating besides a young girl who was painting a Canvas portrait of Reef Resort.

Neptune: I wonder who are those two.

Rick: Hey you're right, Dedede. It is them.

Kirby: Poyo!

CPUs/Candidates: Who?

Coo: I think we should go meet them, just to see what their doing.

Then, Kirby and his buddies nodded as they walk towards the two while the CPUs and Candidates just shrugged and started to follow Kirby and his buddies.

As they stop walking, they were now in front of those two in a radius and Kirby said.

Kirby: Poyo, Poyo!

???/???: Huh?

Next, a fairy and a young girl turn around as they see the young girl wearing a green, collared smock, a gray skirt, and a red beret covering some of her dark hair. She is almost always seen with her blue brush with multi-colored paint on the tip, her brown paint palette with red, blue and yellow paint and her large easel. Like various characters in the franchise, she features blushes on her cheeks, which are colored red. She also has a fringe of hair on the left side of her forehead, violet eyes, a small stubby nose, and five fingers on each hand. And her name is Adeleine, a talented young artist and a friend of Kirby.

While right next to Adeleine is a tiny fairy with dark blue eyes and rosy cheeks. She has light pink, messy shoulder-length hair. Her clothes consist of a large red ribbon in her hair, a long-sleeved red dress with two golden buttons and a frilly white collar, white cuffs, and a pair of small brown shoes. Being a fairy, she has a pair of nearly translucent cyan wings attached to her back that allow her to hover. And her name is Ribbon, a fairy from Ripple Star and is also a friend of Kirby.

Ribbon: Hey Kirby. Long time no see.

Kirby: Poyo!

Adeleine: I never expected to see you here and the others.

King Dedede: Hey Adeleine, it's been a while hasn't.

Adeleine: Indeed it has.

Neptune: So you guys know these two.

Rick: Yep, their a friend of ours ever since Kirby met Adeleine and Ribbon for the first time.

Adeleine and Ribbon then look at the CPUs and Candidates as Ribbon said.

Ribbon: Uhh... you guys, who are they?

Adeleine: Yeah, they don't seem to be from around here in Dream Land.

(BGM: Have a Nice Talk DX - Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey)

Marx: Well these people are a friend of ours. We met them in a different dimension.

A/R: Different dimension?

Magolor: That's right. In fact...

Next, Magolor turn around while facing towards the CPUs and Candidates saying.

Magolor: You eight should probably introduce yourself to them.

Neptune: Of course. 

Neptune: Hello, my name is Neptune, the protagonist of the protagonist.

Nepgear: My name is Nepgear, and I'm her young sister.

Noire: My name is Noire, it's nice to meet you.

Uni: My name is Uni, and I'm her young sister.

Blanc: My name is Blanc.

Rom: My name is Rom, and I'm her younger twin sister.

Ram: My name is Ram, and I'm also her younger twin sister.

Vert: And my name is Vert.

Adeleine: Well it's very nice to meet you all, I'm—

Blanc: Adeleine, and the pink hair fairy is Ribbon.

Adeleine and Ribbon were shocked by Blanc who said their names right and Ribbon said.

Ribbon: H-How did you know our names.

Magolor: I'll tell you why Blanc knows your name. Blanc knows your name is because in their dimension, everything is fill with references, including us in general.

Neptune: Exactly. In fact, here's proof.

Neptune took out Kirby Super Star game out of her pocket and said.

Neptune: Ta-da!

Ribbon: Woah! Adeleine, it's Kirby in the picture.

Adeleine: So you must know about our adventure, right?

Blanc: Yes, you, King Dedede, and a Waddle Dee wanted to help Kirby and Ribbon out on their adventure of collecting crystal shards that was broken.

Blanc: And after you, Kirby, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee got 'em all, the Crystal shine on the Fairy Queen who was possessed by O2 which Kirby manage to defeat O2 with the help of Ribbon who was carrying Kirby.

Adeleine: Mhmm... and that's how we save Ripple Star from O2 and his minions.

Ribbon: Yeah, which I was very grateful for them to help me find those crystal shards and defeating that O2 freak.

Rom and Ram then look at the Canvas portrait and said.

Ram: Hey, this picture looks like Reef Resort.

Adeleine: Yep. I wanted to paint it since we came here.

Nepgear: I gotta say, you're quite an artist.

Adeleine: Thanks, Nepgear.

(BGM Ended)

Next, Bandana Dee started to write something and showed it to them which Nepgear reads.

Nepgear: So, Adeleine, Ribbon, have you two seen Meta Knight by any chance.

Ribbon: Nope, sorry.

Adeleine: Yeah, we haven't seen him. But, can you tell us why you guys wanted to look for him.

King Dedede: We need him to help us is because that Dream Land is in grave danger.

Ribbon: Danger?! Oh no, this is not good.

Adeleine: Don't worry, Ribbon. Kirby and his friends here is going to save the day as usual, so don't worry about.

Ribbon: Yeah, you're right.

Next, Kirby took out his Cell Phone and he was pressing some numbers. Once Kirby calls the Warp Star, Magolor said.

Magolor: Well it's been nice seeing you two, but we got to get going.

Adeleine: Where to, exactly.

Magolor: We're going to Echo's Edge to see if Meta Knight is there.

As the big Warp Star was here, everyone jump on the big Warp Star (Except Marx, Gooey, and Kine) and King Dedede said.

King Dedede: And that's exactly what were going to do. So see ya later.

Adeleine: Wait!

Adeleine: Can me and Ribbon come with you guys and help you find Meta Knight.

Magolor: I don't know...

Magolor: I mean, it could be dangerous for you two. Especially the enemies wandering though the levels, you could get hurt.

Adeleine: Me and Ribbon will be fine. Besides, we just wanted to help you guys find him.

Vert: Adeleine's right. After all, it would be a lot easier to find him if we have these two joining with us. *mumbles* Not to mention treating Adeleine as my very own sister.

Neptune: What was that, Vert.

Vert: Oh nothing.

Magolor: *sigh* Alright, you two can come. But you better be careful.

Adeleine: We will.

Ribbon: Alright, I always wanna go on an adventure with Kirby and his friends for once.

As Adeleine and Ribbon hop onto the Warp Star, Kine said.

Kine: Well you guys go on ahead, I'll be staying here where I belong. So it was nice seeing you guys again.

Rick: Yeah, it was nice seeing you two mate.

Kine: Take care, everyone.

Everyone: Goodbye Kine.

Kirby: Baiiiii!

And with that, the big Warp Star which then flew up and went straight ahead. Including, Marx and Gooey that were flying on their tail as they were now heading to Echo's Edge, where the next destination awaits them.

As they left, Kine dive back in the water while Kirby's allies were waving goodbye to them as they turn into dust sparkles.

(Timeskip)

We then see the Big Warp Star, Marx, and Gooey were still flying high through a snowy area as Nepgear said.

Nepgear: Wow. This place looks pretty from here.

Uni: Yeah, it sure is. Although, it's kinda cold here.

Neptune: Well it's a good thing I was wearing a sweater.

Blanc: Same here.

Next, Kirby landed the big Warp Star towards the ground. As the big Warp Star landed on the ground, everyone hop off while Marx and Gooey landed on the ground and Neptune said.

Neptune: Now that were here, let's go find him in this snowy place.

Kirby: Poyo.

And with that, they all started walking through Echo's Edge and hoping that they'll find Meta Knight in this location.

https://youtu.be/wiHYx9NX4DM

After five minutes has passed, they were still walking through Echo's Edge where the eighth level begins.

(BGM: Echo's Edge - Kirby Star Allies)

Noire: Why would he come here in this place, it's cold here.

Vert: Well look on the bright side, at least it less cold than we thought.

Adeleine: She's right you know, which is a good thing.

Noire: Yeah, at least that's good.

Then, they were now moving forward as they encounter a Burning Leo which Kirby inhale him. Once he did, Kirby swallow him and he transforms into Fire Kirby who was now wearing a tiara with a twists and ends of the tiara are slightly more elaborate and do not overlap each other, and the green gem is also smaller and has a white piece holding it.

Neptune: Cool hat you got there.

Fire Kirby: Poyo.

Next, they move onward as they encounter some ice blocks which Fire Kirby performs a Fire Breath on the ice blocks as the ice blocks melted off into water.

Once it melted, it shows a One-way door that was inside the cave and Neptune said.

Neptune: There's the One-way door.

Magolor: We might as well head on in.

Then, they all went though the One-way door so they can move forward. Next, they came out the One-way door, knowing that they are in a different area of Echo's Edge as they said.

Vert: So now were in a different area of Echo's Edge.

Marx: Yep, that's correct.

Adeleine: Hey look, there's a ladder right in front of us.

Next, they all look at the ladder and Magolor said.

Magolor: Well that was convenient, let's start climbing.

Then, they started to climb up to the top. Once everyone made it to the top, the wind started to blew as Noire said.

Noire: Brrr... I thought you said it wasn't that much cold out here.

Adeleine: Whoops, I totally forget that this place sometimes get a bit colder than usual in some areas.

Uni: I knew I should've brought a sweater.

Nepgear: Yeah, me too.

Next, they were moving forward as they were trying their best to resist the cold wind. Next, they encounter Sir Kibble as Kirby threw a Friend Heart turning him good. Sir Kibble was now wearing an all yellow cap with a light yellow rim. It has two black eyes and small wings on both sides.

Adeleine: Woah!

Ribbon: How did you do that, Kirby.

Nepgear: I think I'll explain.

Nepgear: You see... Kirby here can throw hearts at enemies to become friends with them.

Adeleine: I see... well that's kinda awesome.

Ribbon: I agree.

Then, they went inside the obstacle and saw a crate that block their path which Neptune slash the crate away.

Neptune: And now, we can move forward.

Next, they came out of the obstacle as they were now moving forward through the cold wind. Then, they encounter Burning Leo as Kirby threw a Friend Heart turning him good. Burning Leo is now wearing a tiara with a twists and ends of the tiara are slightly more elaborate and do not overlap each other, and the green gem is also smaller and has a white piece holding it.

Next, they encounter another crate as Gooey performs a Burning Gooey on the crate. Once the crate was destroy, they went inside the obstacle as Neptune slipped on ice and stumbles to the ground saying.

Neptune: Owie!

Nepgear: Neptune, are you okay.

Neptune: Yeah, I'm okay.

Fire Kirby then look at the ice and saw something in there.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Marx: Kirby said. Neptune, can you step back for a moment.

Neptune: Umm... Okay?

As Neptune step back and was behind Fire Kirby, he jump high in the air and performs a Fireball Spin on the ice. Next, the ice melted off which reveals a switch and Neptune said.

Neptune: So there was a switch under the ice, eh.

Magolor: It appears so.

Then, Fire Kirby press the switch as they heard something rumbling from outside and Noire said.

Noire: Did everyone just hear that.

Vert: Yeah, I hear it alright.

Blanc: I heard it as well.

Neptune: We might as well check it out.

Next, they all nodded as they came out of the obstacle which they were now climbing on the ladder. Once they came to the top, Ram turn around and said.

Ram: Hey look, there's a chest over there that's right behind us.

Then, they turn around and saw a chest that Ram was talking about as Blanc said.

Blanc: Good eye, Ram.

Magolor: If I have to guess, Kirby must have press that switch for that chest to appear.

Nepgear: That's was I was thinking too because why else that we heard rumbling from outside.

Uni: I guess that make sense.

Next, they went towards the chest and Neptune said.

Neptune: I wonder what could be inside?

Fire Kirby then open the chest and it reveals... two ice cream cones. Also known as the Soft Cream.

Rom: Is that ice cream?

Ribbon: Yep it is. And it tastes so good.

Ram: I want one.

Magolor: Now wait a minute. You two already ate a Watermelon back in Reef Resort.

Ram: Yeah, so.

Magolor: I'm saying is that we should save these two cones whenever either one of us gets injured a little.

Blanc: He's right, Ram. For what I heard, Kirby, his allies, and his buddies have an HP bar, including us.

Ram: Okay.

Said Ram in defeat.

Neptune: Now that you mention it, we do have an HP bar.

Noire: Wait, seriously?!

Neptune: Just take a look at your stats and you'll know.

Noire then look at her stats and said.

Noire: How did we get an HP bar all of a sudden.

Neptune: Well, were in a video game after all so of course were going to have an HP bar.

Noire: Oh, I see.

Uni: Did you seriously not know that, Noire.

Noire: I guess not.

Next, Fire Kirby put the two Soft Cream away in his inventory as they were moving forward. Then, they were climbing back down the ladder and ran straight ahead of the cold wind while encountering two enemies that are known as Bouncy.

Ram: Let us handle this, C'mon Rom.

Rom: Right!

Next, Rom and Ram dash towards the two Bouncy as Rom performs a Shine and Ice attack on Bouncy #1. While Ram also performs a Shine and Ice attack on Bouncy #2 as the two Bouncy were instantly defeated.

Then, they went inside the obstacle and and saw a ladder that was outside as Neptune said.

Neptune: Hey look, there's a ladder up ahead from outside.

Marx: Let's go climb up there and see where it takes us.

Next, they came out of the obstacle as they started to climb up the ladder. Once they reach to the top, Rom said.

Rom: Look, there's a switch up here.

Ram: You're right, Rom. I'll press it.

Ram then went towards the switch and press it. Once Ram press the switch, nothing has happen as Noire said.

Noire: That's it, nothing happened.

Marx: That's weird. It should a least did something.

Fire Kirby went back to the ladder and started to climb back down. As he climb back down, he said.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo, poyo.

Soon, everyone turn around and look down to where Fire Kirby is at.

Neptune: What is it, Kirby. Did you see something?

Fire Kirby then nodded saying yes and said.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Marx: Kirby said. Yes, I did see something.

Magolor: We might as well climb back down then.

Next, they all climb back down to where Fire Kirby is at. Once they came down, they went back to the inside of the obstacle and saw a One-way door right in front of them saying.

Adeleine: That's odd. There's wasn't a One-way door when we got here.

Blanc: Maybe the switch that Ram push must have made the One-way door to appear.

Magolor: Makes sense. We might as well head on in.

And with that, they all went into the One-way door as they procced onward to the next area in Echo's Edge.

(Mini Timeskip)

We then see everyone running through the top of the hill.  Once they made it to the top, they encounter an enemy that Fire Kirby and Bandanna Dee recognized. This enemy appears to be a gorilla-like creature who wields a large hammer, and has no visible eyes. He appears to wear dark blue pants with torn legs and a belt, and a "jacket" with slits in it for his arms. He also has purple sideburns and a pompadour haircut. And his name is Bonkers, one of the mini bosses that Kirby encounters.

Neptune: Woah! Who's this big fella.

Then, Bandana Dee started to write something and showed it to them which Nepgear reads.

Nepgear: That big fella is Bonkers, one of the Mid-Bosses that Kirby encounters.

King Dedede: He may be strong, but not as strong as me.

Marx: We have to beat Bonkers so we can move onward.

Neptune: Mhmm... C'mon girls, let's go beat this guy.

Everyone: Right!

Fire Kirby: Hai!

And with that, a battle with Bonkers begins as Bandana Dee starts off by charging up to perform a Splash Triple Spear Throw on Bonkers dealing decent damage.

Next, Neptune use Splash L. Slash, Splash Zanba, and Splash Double Zanba on Bonkers dealing decent damage. Follow by Fire Kirby dashing towards Bonkers to perform a Burning Attack on Bonkers dealing damage.

Then, Bonkers ran towards Neptune and started to Hammer on Neptune as she dodges the attack.

Nepgear: Kirby, can you power up my weapon please.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Marx: Kirby said. Sure, just hold you weapon up high and it will do the trick.

Nepgear: Okay.

Next, Nepgear hold her weapon up high which cause a heart to glow on her weapon. Then, Fire Kirby jump high in the air and performs a Burning Attack as he went through her weapon which cause it to combine her weapon into the fire element.

Next, Nepgear power up her weapon and it's now called the Sizzle Nepgear.

Nepgear: Wow! I can't believe it actually work.

Uni: So you can also power up your weapon too, huh.

Nepgear: I guess so, which is great.

Then, Bonkers was swinging his hammer at them as they dodge the attack by jumping over him. Except for Adeleine as she was getting carried by Ribbon.

Next, King Dedede performs a Splash Dedede Hammer Throw on Bonkers dealing decent damage. Follow by Marx performing a Splash Ball Kick four times on Bonkers dealing decent damage for each ball.

Then, Bonkers throws three coconuts at them as Burning Leo performs a Fire Breath at the three coconuts which the coconuts explodes in the process.

Next, Nepgear use Sizzle Mirage Dance at Bonkers dealing massive damage. Follow by Uni shot Bonkers dealing decent damage.

Then, Bonkers jumps on them while twirling his hammer three times as they dodge the attack. While Burning Leo, Sir Kibble, and Bandana Dee block the attack twice and dodge the third time taking less damage.

Next, Vert use her skill move called Sylhet Spear Which pierce Bonkers with a summon magic spear dealing decent damage. Follow by King Dedede charging up to perform a (Level 3) Splash Dedede Hammer Flip which King Dedede shoots droplets of water forward as he swings on Bonkers dealing a lot of damage plus extra damage from the water droplets.

Then, Bonkers was defeated as Kirby threw a Friend Heart on Bonkers turning him good. Bonkers is now wearing a twisted, blue and white hachimaki headband tied around his head.

Noire: What the heck?! Kirby can be friends with Bonkers!

Neptune: Yep, that's correct. Which is quite surprising for me and Nepgear when Kirby befriend a Mid-Boss for the first time.

Nepgear: Yeah, I remember that time which was back in the Zero Dimension.

Uni: You don't say.

As Kirby befriend with Bonkers, a One-way door has appear straight ahead and Magolor said.

Magolor: Everyone, look. There's a One-way door straight ahead.

Blanc: Let's head on in right away.

And with that, they nodded as enter the One-way door so they can proceed onward through Echo's Edge once again.

(BGM Stops)

https://youtu.be/td-CfSEI8Rk

(BGM Resumes)

We then see everyone came out of the One-way door and Noire said.

Noire: We still haven't found Meta Knight so far.

Uni: Maybe that he could be at the end of the Goal door, I think.

Noire: Lets hope so.

Next, Fire Kirby look above and saw a pull switch as Fire Kirby jump high in the air and pulls the switch. Once the switch was pull, the metal blocks disappeared while the stone blocks appear as platforms.

Neptune: Nice work, Kirby.

Fire Kirby: Poyo.

Then, they all climb up the ladder as they reach to the top. Once they reach to the top, they encounter and enemy that Fire Kirby and Bandana Dee recognize. This enemy has a distinctive red swirls on their cheeks and a stubby tail. It also has black blotches for eyes too.

Neptune: Who's that little fella.

Next, Bandana Dee started to write something and showed it to them which Nepgear reads.

Nepgear: That my friend is Key Dee, one of Kirby's common enemies that he rarely encounters.

Vert: Interesting.

Ribbon: Look, he's holding a key in his stubby hands.

Said Ribbon as she was pointing at the Key that Key Dee has.

Marx: A key huh, then that means...

Marx then turn around and saw a doorway that's lock.

Marx: Everyone, we need that key that Key Dee has so we can open that doorway.

Neptune: Alright then, simple enough.

Neptune: Allow the protagonist to handle it.

Next, Neptune approached Key Dee as Key Dee notice it and started to look at her.

Neptune: Excuse me, Key Dee. But can we have that key so we can open the door.

Then, Key Dee put the key away as Key Dee jump on Neptune's face.

Neptune: Nepu!

Nepgear: Neptune!

Ribbon: Oh dear. I didn't expect that would happen.

Adeleine: Yeah, same.

Neptune: Somebody, anybody. Get Key Dee off of my face this instant.

R/R: *giggles*

Nepgear: I'll help you.

As Nepgear approached Neptune and tries to grab Key Dee off of Neptune's face. Key Dee climb on top of Neptune's hair and jumps onto Nepgear's face.

Nepgear: Ugh!

Neptune: I got you, sis.

Next, Neptune grabs Key Dee and tries to pull him out of Nepgear's face. Then, Neptune successfully manage to get Key Dee off of Nepgear's face and throws Key Dee at the wall.

Next, Fire Kirby jumps in the air and performs a Fireball Spin. Once Fire Kirby reaches to the ground with the Fireball Spin move, he performs a Fireball Roll on Key Dee dealing damage as Key Dee was instantly defeated while dropping the key in the process.

Neptune: Are you okay, Nepgear.

Nepgear: Yeah, I'm okay.

Marx: Neptune, you should attack Key Dee next time instead of talking to it.

Neptune: Well how should I know! I mean, Key Dee was kind of harmless and cute.

Marx: Well he isn't since he's an enemy.

Noire: Marx's right you know. So don't judge an enemy by their appearance, even if the enemy is cute.

Neptune: Okay then, I'll remember that.

Fire Kirby then picked up the key and Magolor said.

Magolor: Now that we got the key, lets open that doorway.

Rick: Agreed.

Next, Fire Kirby ran towards the doorway and started to put the key in. As the key was in, the key automatically opens the doorway by itself and Neptune said.

Neptune: And now we can move forward.

Then, they were now moving forward as they encounter Sir Kibble, Gim, Bouncy, and Burning Leo that were blocking their way.

Next, King Dedede dash towards the four enemies and performs a Head Slide attack which he leaps forward invulnerably and slides across the ground on them as Sir Kibble, Gim, Bouncy, and Burning Leo were instantly defeated.

Then, they encounter a mysterious platform and Neptune said.

Neptune: It's that platform again.

Marx: Yep, which means that Kirby has to perform something so we can get across from that gap.

Uni: I wonder what this picture of the four stars connecting to each other even means.

Fire Kirby then hops onto the platform and said.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Fire Kirby call Burning Leo, Sir Kibble, and Bonkers to hop onto the platform as well. Next, they did their pose and started to combine their power as they perform their third Friend Action called the Friend Bridge, which Fire Kirby and his allies form into a stack, then hurl themselves into a nearby chasm to bridge it. During the transformation, Fire Kirby and his allies are surrounded by sparkly, multi-colored stars, and they are connected to each other by a thin, cosmic trail.

(A/N Replace Rocky and Gim with Burning Leo and Bonkers that's forming a bridge with Kirby and Sir Kibble.)

Everyone: Woah!

Once Fire Kirby and his allies form into a bridge, Key Dee spawns out of nowhere with the key in his hands and started to run straight ahead. Then, Key Dee made it through the Friend Bridge and started to open the doorway for them as Key Dee jumps away.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo!

Neptune: What did Kirby say, Marx.

Marx: Kirby said. Hey everyone, hurry and get across now!

Noire: B-But what if we fall down there.

Magolor: Just try not to look down and you'll be fine, so let's hurry.

Next, they all walk on the Friend Bridge (except Marx, Gooey, and Coo which they were flying over it) as they tried their best to not look down. As everyone made it through the Friend Bridge, Fire Kirby and his allies jump upwards and started to teleport to where the others are at.

Neptune: Phew, we finally made it through.

Noire: Yeah, I'm quite surprise that it acts like a bridge as we were walking through it.

Ram: Hey look, there's a chest up ahead.

Then, they went towards the chest as Fire Kirby open the chest and it reveals... an Energy Drink. Once the chest was open, the doorway was open automatically and Neptune said.

Neptune: Hey, the door is open.

Magolor: Great, now lets get a move on shall we.

As Fire Kirby put the Energy Drink away in his inventory, they were now moving onward as they encounter another mysterious platform and Ribbon said.

Ribbon: Another one of those platforms?

Uni: I'm pretty sure what this platform could do.

Nepgear: How can you be so sure.

Uni: It's because that picture of four stars connecting each other.

Neptune: Oooh, I get it now.

Fire Kirby hop onto the platform and so does his allies. Next, they did their pose and started to combine their power as they perform a Friend Bridge once again.

Once Fire Kirby and his allies into a bridge, Key Dee spawns out of nowhere once again with the key in his hands and started to run straight ahead. Then, Fire Kirby and Bonkers move up as Key Dee bump into an obstacle and decided to turn back.

Next, Key Dee manage to get through the Friend Bridge and started to open the doorway for them as Key Dee jumps away.

Fire Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Neptune: C'mon everyone, lets get a move on.

Then, they nodded as everyone jump over the small gap and went across the Friend Bridge one by one. As everyone made it through the Friend Bridge, Fire Kirby and his allies jump upwards and started to teleport to where the others are at.

Adeleine: There's another chest up ahead.

Next, they went towards the chest as Fire Kirby open the chest and it reveals... a Maxim Tomato. Once the chest was open, the doorway was open automatically and Blanc said.

Blanc: Looks like the door is open again.

Rick: We might as well get a move on then.

As Fire Kirby put the Maxim Tomato away in his inventory, they were moving forward as they saw a Goal Door that was inside the obstacle and Neptune said.

Neptune: There's a Goal Door up ahead.

Magolor: Excellent, lets go ahead and clear this stage.

And with that, they enter the Goal Door knowing that they clear the eighth level in Echo's Edge.

(Stage 8 Cleared)

Then, they came out of the Goal Door and Noire said.

Noire: I guess Meta Knight isn't here either in this place.

Magolor: Okay, since he isn't here, we should head to Nature's Navel next.

Marx: Kirby, call the Warp Star and take us there right away.

Next, Fire Kirby nodded as he pull out a Cell Phone and type in some numbers on the phone. Next, Fire Kirby finish the call and a big Warp Star from the sky was heading towards Fire Kirby and the others are at. As the big Warp Star landed on the ground, Magolor said.

Magolor: All right everyone, let's hop on the Warp Star.

And with that, everyone hop on the big Warp Star which then flew up and went straight ahead. Including, Marx and Gooey that were flying on their tail as they were now heading to Nature's Navel, where the next destination awaits them.

As they left, Kirby's allies started to wave of saying goodbye to them as they disappear into dust sparkles.

(Timeskip)

We then see the big Warp Star, Marx, and Gooey that were still flying high and Ram said.

Ram: Jeez, this place is sooo hot!

Rom: Yeah, sooo hot.

Noire: Do you seriously think Meta Knight could be here, because I don't think he's here in this place.

Magolor: Well, you never know if he could be here. So we have to at least tried.

Then, Fire Kirby landed the big Warp Star towards the ground. As the big Warp Star landed on the ground, everyone hop off while Marx and Gooey landed on the ground and Neptune said.

Neptune: Let's go find him and fast before we start getting sweaty.

And with that, they all started walking through Nature's Navel and hoping that they'll find Meta Knight in this location this time.

https://youtu.be/U2e_L4br5Yg

After five minutes has passed, they were still walking through Nature's Navel where the ninth level begins.

(BGM: Nature's Navel - Kirby Star Allies)

Noire: *pant, pant* Why does this place has to be this hot.

Magolor: Well this place has lava after all. So of course this place is hot.

Noire: Let's just go find him already so we can leave this place.

Next, they were moving forward as they were jumping down through small platforms. As they made it down to the solid platform, they encounter an enemy that Fire Kirby and Bandanna Dee recognized. This enemy is a small parrot-like enemy best known for his large blue eyes and wearing an aviator hat with goggles mounted to it. This bird also has a Kirby-like feet and a bright, feathery mohawk. And his name is Birdon, one of Kirby's common enemies.

Ram: Who's that bird fella.

Bandana Dee then started to write something and showed it tot them which Nepgear reads.

Nepgear: His name is Birdon, one of Kirby's common enemies.

Uni: You know, I'm going to shoot that bird as a target practice.

As Uni was ready to shoot Birdon, Marx said.

Marx: Now hold oh for a second, Uni. I think Kirby has a better idea, right Kirby.

Fire Kirby: Poyo.

Then, Fire Kirby threw the Friend Heart at Birdon turning him good. Birdon is now wearing a Native American headdress with green-yellow gradient feathery wings and two yellow-white feathers with red tips on each side.

Rom: Aww, he looks cute in that hat.

Neptune: Looks like Birdon here is joining our side now.

Adeleine: I still don't get of how he got that power.

Ribbon: Yeah, me too since I'm really quite curious.

Blanc: I think that goes for all of us with that same question.

As everyone was thinking about of how Kirby got that power, Magolor said.

Magolor: Well everyone, are we gonna keep moving forward or what.

Neptune: Oh yeah. Lets get a move on, everyone.

Next, they were now moving onward as they were jumping back up on the platforms. Once everyone got back up into a solid ground, they ran straight ahead and encounter a moving circle shape obstacle with four sharp blades that sticking out of the circle and Nepgear said.

Nepgear: Oh dear. If we don't hurry, we'll get cut by the blades for sure.

Magolor: Hmmm... Since this is a moving circle with four sharp blades, we have to make three people go at a time so we pass through this obstacle.

Marx: Good idea, but... who's going first.

Neptune: Duh... me of course, C'mon sis.

Nepgear: Okay. On three...

Neptune: One...

Nepgear: Two...

N/N: Three!

Neptune and Nepgear started to fast walk under the moving circle while Fire Kirby was following the two. Once Neptune, Nepgear, and Fire Kirby passed through the obstacle, Neptune said.

Neptune: Alright, we made it.

Marx: Alright, who's next.

(Mini Timeskip)

As everyone made it through the obstacle, Rick said.

Rick: *phew* Looks like we all made it through.

King Dedede: Yeah, we should probably keep moving now.

Then, everyone was now moving forward as they encounter Bio Spark. Next, Fire Kirby threw a Friend Heart turning him good. Bio Spark was now wearing a purple cloth skullcap with a forehead protector imprinted with a star outline.

Then, they saw another moving circle shape obstacle with two big sharp blades that sticking out of the circle and Neptune said.

Neptune: Looks like these big sharp blades are even more dangerous now.

Marx: We might as well get across then while jumping over that magma pit. 

Marx: So, who's going first.

(Another Mini Timeskip)

As everyone made it through the obstacle once again, Adeleine said.

Adeleine: Hey look, there's the One-way door up ahead.

Marx: Great, lets head on in.

Next, they ran towards the One-way door and went in so they proceed onward. Then, they came out of the One-way door as they were moving forward. Once everyone jump on a solid platform, the two enemies appear that are Driblee and Bio Spark. 

Next, Kirby discard his fire ability and started to inhale Bio Spark. Then, Kirby swallow him and transform into Ninja Kirby who is now wearing a purple cloth skullcap with a forehead protector imprinted with a star outline.

Neptune: Wow. Kirby looks cooler in that hat.

Ninja Kirby: Poyo!

Blanc: Looks like Kirby here can perform ninja moves now.

Magolor: Indeed.

Next, Ninja Kirby threw a Friend Heart on Driblee turning her good. Driblee is now wearing a Gold crown with a golden drop-shaped ornament on the center with two small golden waves on each side, holding a vortex of water.

Then, three enemies spawns out of nowhere that are known as Propeller as Uni said.

Uni: I'll handle these three.

Next, Uni snipe three Propeller's dealing damage as the three Propeller's were instantly defeated.

King Dedede: Wow! Nice shot, Uni.

Uni: Thanks.

Vert: Looks like there more coming.

Soon, a few enemies spawn that are known as Kabu, Dekabu, and Shield Guard.

Noire: Kirby, is it okay if you power up my sword please.

Vert: I would also want to power up my spear as well.

Blanc: Me too, since I also want to power up my hammer.

Ninja Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Marx: Kirby said. Sure, just hold you weapon up high and it will do the trick.

N/B/V: Okay.

Noire, Blanc, and Vert hold their weapons up high which cause a heart to glow on their weapons. Then, Birdon jumps high in the air and performs a Feather Gun which he shoots multiple feathers straight at their weapons and cause it to combine their weapons with the Wind element.

Next, Noire power up her sword and it's now called the Bluster Noire.

Blanc power up her hammer and it's now called the Bluster Blanc.

And Vert power up her spear and it's now called the Bluster Vert.

Noire: Woah! I can't believe it actually work.

Neptune: Indeed. Not only that you power up your weapons, but also increases your attack power as well.

Vert: I see... now this is more like it.

Blanc: I agree, I can get used to this kind of power.

Magolor: Alright everyone, let's show them what were made of!

Everyone: Right!

Ninja Kirby: Poyo!

And with that, they charge into battle against some Kabu, Dekabu, and Shield Guard which it only took...

(BGM Stops)

(BGM Resumes)

After twelve seconds have passed, they defeated Kabu, Dekabu, and Shield Guard as they said.

Noire: Well that was easy.

Marx: Yep, they were easy to get rid of 'em.

Vert: At least now we can move forward.

Magolor: That's right, so let's get moving.

Next, they jump on platforms so they can reach to the top. As they reach to the top, they ran straight ahead while Ram just stop running and said.

Ram: Everyone, look, there's a Round-Trip Door down there.

Then, they went back to where Ram was at and saw a Round-Trip Door and Blanc said.

Blanc: Nice going Ram.

Neptune: Well, let's head on in and see what's inside.

Next, they went down the ladder and went inside the Round-Trip Door. Then, they came out of the Round-Trip Door and King Dedede said.

King Dedede: Now that were here, lets see what that puzzle is that we need to solve.

Magolor: Agreed.

Then, they went down the ladder and spotted a chain that's on fire and Nepgear said.

Nepgear: It looks like the chain is on fire.

Suddenly, a pop-up hint appear out of nowhere and Neptune said.

Neptune: Can anyone tell me what this thing is telling us.

Magolor: I think I can, now let me see...

Magolor: Hmm...

Noire: Well, what does this thing telling us.

Magolor: I think it's telling us that Kirby here needs to combine his weapon into the water element.

Ninja Kirby: Poyo.

Ninja Kirby then hold his weapon up high as Driblee jumps high in the air and performs a Wave Attack as the water went through his Katana which cause it to combined his Katana into the water element.

Next, Ninja Kirby power up his Katana and it's now called the Splash Ninja.

Then, Ninja Kirby jumps high in the air and started to hover up like a balloon. Once he hover up to where the chain was at, he spat out and started to perform a Shock attack on the chain as the chain was broken instantly which made the platform came down, revealing a path.

Neptune: Nice one, Kirby.

Said Neptune as she was giving Kirby a thumbs up.

Ninja Kirby: Poyo!

Next, they were now moving forward as they saw a ladder up ahead and started to climb up to the top. Then, they finally made it to the top as Kirby performs a Splash Knife Throw which the knives are encased in water that release a splash of water at the chain of fire. 

The platform drop down which revealed a chest that was hidden behind the platform.

Neptune: So there was a chest behind that platform, eh.

Marx: It seems so.

Next, Ninja Kirby jump halfway down and pick up the chest. As everyone was climbing back down, Ninja Kirby jumps down to where the others are at and started to open a chest revealing... two Hamburgers.

Neptune: Is that a Hamburger?

Marx: Yep, that's correct.

Ninja Kirby then put the two Hamburgers away in his inventory as they were now heading back to the Round-Trip Door by climbing up the ladder. Once they climb back up to the top, they enter the Round-Trip Door so they can continue onward.

Next, they came out of the Round-Trip Door and Neptune said.

Neptune: Now that were done with that puzzle, we can now move forward.

Coo: Yep, so let's climb back up and get going.

Everyone: Right!

Then, everyone climb back up and started to head towards the One-way door. As they went towards the One-way door, they went in so they can procced onward through Nature's Navel.

(BGM Stops)

(BGM Resumes)

They soon came out of the One-way door and Uni said.

Uni: Looks like we need to hop on these platforms to reach to the top, right?

Adeleine: Yep, it seems like it.

Blanc: We might as well start hopping then.

Next, they hop on platforms as they encounter Knuckle Joe which Gooey performs a Quick Lick on Knuckle Joe dealing damage. Once Knuckle Joe was instantly defeated, they kept on going by hopping on platforms.

As they kept hopping on platforms while dodging the blades, they soon found a cannon and Neptune said.

Neptune: Hey, what's that thing.

Marx: That thing is a cannon which lets you blast up there to the top.

Noire: How can you be so sure if it's a cannon.

Marx: I think Kirby here can demonstrate it for you. Kirby, would you mind demonstrate?

Ninja Kirby: Poyo.

Next, Ninja Kirby hop onto the cannon as Ribbon said.

Ribbon: Wait, I'm going with Kirby as well.

Ribbon then went inside the cannon with Ninja Kirby and he said.

Ninja Kirby: Poyo!

Suddenly, Ninja Kirby and Ribbon were blasting up to the top Neptune said.

Neptune: Welp, there they go.

Blanc: Guess it turns out that is indeed a cannon.

Noire: I guess it was true. 

Marx: Yep, so who's going next.

We then cut into the next scene showing Ninja Kirby and Ribbon that were blasting off to the top. As they were about to hit above the ceiling, Ninja Kirby grabs Ribbon and started to hit the ceiling with his back and lands on a solid platform.

Ribbon: Phew, thanks for taking the hit for me Kirby.

Ninja Kirby: Poyo.

Next, Ribbon kiss Ninja Kirby in the cheek which Ninja Kirby blush a little. Then, we see is Bandana Dee that landed on the solid platform, then King Dedede landed on the solid platform, etc.

As everyone made it to the top, Rick said.

Rick: Hey look, there's a Goal Door that's right in front of us.

Marx: Great, let's head on in and clear this stage.

(BGM Ended)

And so, they went inside the Goal Door knowing that they clear the ninth level in Nature's Navel.

(Stage 9 Cleared)

To Be Continued...

What location are they heading to next?

And will they ever find Meta Knight for real this time?

Stay tuned and find out.
