Zero Dimension, Uzume's Base

They were now back at Uzume's Base after defeating Dark Purple and a well deserve rest at Jingu Sakura Park as Neptune said.

Neptune: I wasn't sure what was gonna happen for a moment there, but I'm glad we won.

Nepgear: Me too, but I wonder why we were suddenly able to gather shares?

Nepgear: Isn't it only possible to acquire shares from humans?

Umio: Allow me to explain.

Umio: ...Before that, however, where is Uzume?

Nepgear: Uzume went up to the rooftop so she could take a shower, first.

Umio: Ah, then this is most opportune. I wouldn't want Uzume to overhear what I am about to discolse.

Nepgear: What do you mean?

Umio: Uzume possesses a certain special ability.

Neptune: Special ability?

Kirby: Poyo?

Umio: She's able to turn her daydreams into reality.

Nepgear: So, that would mean she has the ability to intervene in real world events, yes?

Nepgear: But is it possible to do such a thing?

Umio: she cannot interfere or change large-scale events, but she does possess this power.

Umio: You five have some experience with convenient things occurring exactly the way she had imagined, do you not?

Nepgear: Oh! Could you mean the pudding ingredients?!

Umio: Correct. She imagined, and wished, for you two to create and eat pudding.

Umio: This is why you were able to find ingredients.

Umio: She also imagined and wished today, during our battle...

Umio: She wished you three would be able to obtain shares from monsters, and subsequently transform. 

Nepgear: That's why we were able to gain shares all of the sudden...

Marx: Wow! That's some special ability she has.

Neptune: That's amazing! It's like a super secret code!

Neptune: Wait... but why hasn't she used such a convenient ability before? If she did, couldn't she have beaten the giant already?

Umio: There are certain things that come into play, such as the fact that Uzume cannot bring something into existence unless she sincerely imagines it.

Umio: That is to say that how she manipulates reality is also based on her subconscious.

Umio: This is why I am extremely grateful to you four, including you Marx. 

Umio: You five helped Uzume change the state of shares within this world.

Umio: I can only hope that if we are not to late, we will be able to stop this world's collapse.

Neptune: I get it, Umio. That's why you said something to lead her on at the time.

Umio: I'm surprised you noticed.

Neptune: Well, I guess you could say it was by chance. You were actually engaging in Uzume's story for once, so it kinda got me curious.

Marx: Yeah, even me, Kirby, and Bandana Dee are quite curious about her story as well, isn't that right you two?

Kirby and Bandana nodded saying yes to his statement.

Umio: Now that you understand her ability, I sincerely ask that you please keep it a secret from her. 

Neptune: We sure will. Your secret safe with us, right guys?

Nepgear, Kirby, Bandana Dee, and Marx nodded saying yes.

Umio: Good. But with that out of the way, would you like to introduce yourself.

Said Umio as he pointed Marx with his fins.

Marx: Who, me?

Umio: Yes, since we haven't gotten your name yet.

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

Marx: Well sure, my name is Marx and I'm a jester. So what's your name. 

Neptune: My name is Neptune the protagonist of the protagonist.

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

Umio: And my name is Umio.

Marx: Well Neptune, Nepgear, and Umio. It's nice to meet you.

Neptune: Nice to meet you too, Marx.

Neptune: So, first question. What kind of powers do you have?

Marx: Simple, the ball is my weapon and the wings are my power.

Neptune: That's it? 

Marx: Yep. You see, I was born with them.

Nepgear: But how?

Marx: Well, you see... Umm... I don't even know how I got my power in the first place.

Umio: So you don't know where you got that power of yours from.

Marx: Nope. 

Nepgear: Well that's a shame.

Neptune: Second question. How did you and Kirby became enemies in the first place?

Marx: What do you mean by that, exactly?

Nepgear: Well, you did say that he ruin your plan of taking over Planet Popstar, right?

Marx: Oh yeah, I remember that. But it was a long time ago that I wanted to take over his planet for a reason.

Nepgear: But, why would you do such a thing. 

Marx: Well, if you want to know why I wanted to take over Planet Popstar. I'm going to tell you a story how it all began and how me and Kirby became friends after that. If you guys want to that is.

Neptune: As much as I hate boring stories. But sure, since I'm quite curious about it.

Nepgear: Yeah, me too.

Umio: Well, you heard them. You can proceed of telling us your story.

Marx: Very well then, I'll tell you how it happen. So it all began back in Dreamland.

(BGM Ended)

(Flashback) 

When the sun and moon of start fighting each other and knocking each other out of the skies, a small jester-like being who goes by the name of Marx tells Kirby and said.

Marx: "Can you make peace between the Sun and Moon?"

Marx: "You need to ask the giant comet Nova for help!"

Marx: "But first, there's something we must do."

Marx: "To ask Nova, we must gather power from all the stars around us."

Marx: "It will be difficult, Kirby, but you can do it!"

Marx: "We are counting on you. Good Luck!"

And with that, Kirby then ran of with his Warp Star and took off to gather power from the seven planets' Fountains. 

(TimeSkip)

After Kirby gather the power from the seven planets' Fountains. He then summon Nova who is a large, mechanical comet made in the shape of a pocket watch. Nova's center is designed to look like a sun with a red shooting star above his right eye. All around the edges of Nova are seemingly random items. 

As he appears in front of Kirby, he said.

Nova: "READY ->"

Nova: "I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH... ->"

As Kirby was about to make his wish. Marx knock Kirby out of the way and makes his own selfish wish saying.

Marx: "Well, I want to control Pop Star!" 

Nova: "Ok. -> 3... 2... 1... GO! ->"

Next, Nova took off to get to Popstar as Marx said.

Marx: "I did it! It all went according to plan!"

Marx: "I got the sun and moon to fight. I got you to go into space..."

Marx then transforms into his second form and gains new superpowers out of nowhere.

Marx (Second Form): "It was all according to my perfect little plan!"

Marx soon left Kirby behind as he was continuing to speak in an echo voice in space saying.

Marx (Second Form): "So now Pop Star is mine! All mine!"

Marx (Second Form): "Now I can cause all the mischief I want! Haha! See you later!"

Marx (Second Form): "Ho ho ho ho! Ohh ho ho ho! Ho ho ho ho ho! Ohh ho ho ho...!"

As Kirby thought that he was done for, The power Kirby had gathered comes together, however, and creates a Starship made from star power he gathered.

And with that, he took off for him to stop Nova with from controlling Popstar. Although, Nova's journey to Popstar is suddenly hampered by the sun and moon, giving Kirby a chance to enter inside him.

(A/N end the video at 0:39)

Kirby then destroys his heart as Nova was now injured in the process. Marx was extremely irate by this and said.

Marx (Second Form): Dang it! He ruin my wish of controlling Popstar! It looks like I'll have to deal with him myself!

Marx then went towards Kirby and attempts to attack Kirby all by himself. 

(Another Timeskip)

In spite of Marx's fearsome and deadly new superpowers, Kirby manages to win, and send Marx flying away and into Nova's broken head, seemingly destroying them both in a massive explosion.

Apparently after a few years has passed, Marx somehow survived the crash into Nova as he was back in Dreamland lying on the ground unconscious. Next, Marx got up from the ground and said.

Marx: Ugh... where am I. Am I back in Dreamland. 

Marx then look at his surroundings and said.

Marx: I guess I am back on Dreamland. But, wasn't I suppose to be dead by now since I lost to Kirby in the first place. Well, I guess I better start walking to see if anything has change.

Marx then started to take a walk. After a one hour of walking, he saw Kirby's house and said.

Marx: Huh? I wonder who's live in that house.

Kirby soon came out of his house and started to yawn after a well deserve rest. Marx was surprised by this and said. 

Marx: Kirby!!

Kirby then look at Marx in silence as they were staring at each other. Marx then broke the silence and said.

Marx: Hey there Kirby. Long time no see. 

Kirby: Poyo!

Marx: Yeah, Kirby. It's me, Marx and I came here to apologize for what happened.

Marx: I'm sorry for tricking you to gather the power from the seven planets' Fountains. The reason why I trick you to do that it's because that nobody wants to share their food with me.

Kirby: Poyo?

Marx: Yes really. After you bought their food back from the greedy King himself, I wanted to have some food too since I was hungry. But, the Waddle Dee's didn't wanted to share with me. 

Kirby: Poyo...

Marx: I know, right? Which is why I decided to take control of your planet in the first place.

Kirby: Poyo, poyo.

Marx: Really? You want to share your food with me?

Kirby then nodded saying yes.

Marx: Oh thank you so much! If that's the case, can we be friends instead.

Kirby: Poyo!

And with that, Kirby and Marx now became friends as they put their past and their differences aside.

(End Flashback)

Marx: And that's pretty much what happened.

Neptune, Nepgear, and Umio were shocked and surprised by his story as Nepgear said.

Nepgear: So that's explain why you wanted to take over Kirby's home planet.

Marx: Yeah. But not anymore since now I have Kirby to share his food with me and even Bandana Dee too, right Kirby?

Kirby: Poyo!

Neptune: But I still can believe you trick the sun and moon to fight each other and trick Kirby to do your dirty work! Just so you can make your own selfish wish!

Nepgear: Yeah, that was so mean of you to do something like that!

Marx: I know that, but that was a long time ago. So therefore, I change my ways and joining the good side.

Umio: Well, it was rude of you to do something like that. But your right, you change your ways and that's all that matters.

Marx: Really?

Umio: Of course. Which I'm sure you learn your lesson.

Marx: Yep, I learn my lesson all right. And I thought I was dead from crashing into Nova, but I guess not which is a good thing.

Umio: Indeed.

And with that, Neptune and Nepgear then talk about themselves with Marx so he can get to know them as the time passes.

After a few minutes have passed, we then see Uzume standing at the rooftop while looking at the sky and she said.

Uzume: It's finally over...

Neptune, Kirby, Bandana Dee, and Marx soon came to the rooftop, where Uzume was at and Neptune said.

Neptune: Hey, Uzume, can we talk to you for a second?

Uzume: Hm? Hey guys, What's up?

Neptune: I was just wondering what you're planning on doing next.

Uzume: Oh, you mean about that, huh? I'm gonna go beat the crap out of that purple hag, of course.

Uzume: Well, sure she's no match for a giant-killer like me.

Neptune: Okay, so... once you take out Arfoire, what's after that?

Uzume: After that...? Oh, that's what you mean.

Neptune: You know what I'm getting at?

Uzume: You want me to come with you, right? Back to your world...?

Neptune: That's right! Ooh, you're good, Uzume. We're becoming completely telepathic with each other!

Uzume: Your offer makes me real happy, Nepsy.

Uzume: And I know that it's probably a great place... it's your nation, after all...

Marx: Indeed. What Neptune told me about her nation is very interesting.

Uzume: So you must be Marx, right? My name is Uzume Tennouboshi, It's nice to meet you.

Marx: Yep, that's me and it's nice to meet you too, Uzume.

Uzume: But anyway... I'm sorry... I can't go with you.

Neptune: Why...?? There's no one here anymore. What if we could even be CPU partners?

Neptune: I know for a fact the people of my nation would love you in a heartbeat!

Uzume: Well, Nepsy, I've spoken with everyone a while ago about the possibility of leaving this world, and searching for a new one to live in...

Uzume: But, the answer was unanimous. Even if it was possible to leave, no one wanted to cast away this world, even in it's brokenness.

Uzume: We decided we'd struggle here in this world until the very end.

Uzume: And, the punchline was after investigating, we found this world's civilization isn't advanced enough for dimensional travel.

Neptune: Uzume...

Kirby: Poyo...

Uzume: Ah, c'mon you two, don't gimmie that gloomy look. This isn't permanent, ya know? We'll see each other again, right?

Uzume: That purple hag might be behind this world's destruction, and if I defeat her, maybe it'll return to normal.

Uzume: If that's the case, I'll revive this city, and the entire nation along with it!

Uzume: I'll be starting from zero... Or, I guess it's more like starting from the negative, but I'm going to make this nation amazing.

Uzume: Once that all happens, I'll have to come by and visit your nation.

Neptune: But isn't being by yourself lonely? Doesn't it make you feel helpless? 

Marx: Neptune does has a good point, you know?

Uzume: So what. I got Umio, the Baby Bugs, and all of my Dogoo friends, too. It's pretty lively as it is, really.

Neptune: Uzume...

Kirby: Poyo...

Uzume: So, that's it. If you keep being lazy and eatin' all that pudding, our nation's gonna pass yours up in no time.

Uzume: ...Yeah. I think I want a population of a hundred thousand... maybe even a whole million.

Uzume: All throughout the city we'll have elevators, moving walkways, and cars without any wheels flyin' through big glass tubes!

Uzume: And all the citizens will wear tights all the time. A-actually, that's lame, forget I said that.

Uzume: This is the era of Info Tech. I'll establish a culture surrounding the World Wide Web, and make it so people can play games online!

Uzume: When you're online, you'll be able to complete in fighting or racing games with other people or adventure in RPGs together!

Uzume: I really hope— no, I'm gonna do it. I'll create that fun, wonderful nation.

Uzume: Wouldn't it be the coolest thing ever?

Neptune: Definitely! I think it'd be super cool! 

Marx: Yeah, I think that would be awesome to see, right Kirby and Bandana Dee?

Kirby: Poyo!

Said Kirby, while Bandanna Dee nodded saying yes.

Uzume: When I first woke up here, you know, that was the first thing I tried to do, but at the time, nobody would follow me.

Uzume: Umio told me I wasn't gonna be ready to make it happen for another 10 years.

Neptune: Oh, I totally understand. I get that a lot, too.

Uzume: You know Nepsy, I don't think it's a bad thing to pursue the dreams you have. It's way better than just settling.

Uzume: Sides, it's fun to imagine all of your crazy dreams coming to life.

Neptune: I really hope you can make it happen, Uzume.

Kirby: Poyo.

Uzume: It will be, you guys... I will make it a reality.

Neptune: Oh and by the way. You should get to know Marx a bit more.

Uzume: But why?

Neptune: Because he has a story to tell you. Marx, if you may.

Marx: Of course, so it all began back in Dreamland.

https://youtu.be/p1TzpYtcyfA

Marx: And that's pretty much what happened.

Uzume was shock and surprise by his story as she said.

Uzume: Wow! I can't believe you trick the sun and moon fighting each other and trick Kirby to do your dirty work.

Marx: Yep, that's right!

Uzume: I find it uncool for you to do something like that!

Neptune: Yeah, especially making a selfish wish.

Marx: But that was a long time ago, Uzume. So therefore, I change my ways and joining the good side. 

Uzume: You better be. Because, if you trick us to do your dirty work. I'm going to kick your butt, got it!

Marx (Sweatdrop): *Gulp* Got it, Uzume. Hehe...

Neptune: Anyway, we should probably get some rest. Since I'm kind of exhausted from fighting that giant.

Uzume: Me too. So let's go.

And so, the five of them went back downstairs as they were getting ready to sleep. Knowing that there exhausted from fighting Dark Purple.

To Be Continued...

What do you think will happened next?
