Marx continued tormenting Kirby, or at least attempted to, by shooting a countless amount of spears at hi, but Kirby was able to block all of them off with the help of the Warp Star. As the Warp Star was doing its job protecting Kirby and Robobot Armor, Kirby allowed himself to glide towards Marx and punch once more, but Marx already anticipated his move and quickly dodged it. 

Marx quickly glided down and hid under ground into the hole where he made earlier.

"Poyo, poyo..." Kirby said to himself carefully as he looked underground. He pressed the button on the Robobot Armor to scan where Marx is underground. Surely, Kirby was able to scan and locate where Marx was. Kirby needed to act fast because Marx was quickly emerging above the ground right towards him. Kirby quickly swifted away as Marx thrusted through the ground and glided above the surface. When he realized that he did not hit Kirby, he looked around to find where he is, and when they exchanged eye contact, Marx evilly smiled with a little chuckle emerging between his teeth. "Not bad," Marx said. 

"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby exclaimed. 

"I have no idea what you were saying," Marx said. "But I assume you were trying to say that you weren't gonna get down easily and you'll easily defeat me?" 

Kirby stood silent as his two 'poyo's meant exactly what Marx said. 

"I guess I got that right," Marx evilly chuckled. "But can you survive this?" Marx inhaled deeply that both of his cheeks were bloated and shot laser. 

Kirby quickly glided from the side to avoid it, but a stream of light did hit the end corner of the Warp Star, so the impact made him fly off a bit. Unlike the past enemies, Marx did not give Kirby to get back on the right balance, Marx shot a series of bombs at him as he glided toward Kirby to add velocity to the incoming bombs. As the series of bombs exploded on the Warp Star, although it did not cause direct damage to Kirby, the smoke and the heat did give Kirby indirect damage. The smoke got into his lungs, and the heat did give him a second-degree burn. 

"Poyo... poyoo..." Kirby grunted and coughed painfully. 

"I'm not done yet!" Marx said as he spread his wings wide. Before the was able to shoot the laser spears from his wings, other lasers from different directions glided toward him. "Gahh!" Marx yelped as he tried to block the laser with its wings, but the lasers did great damage to his wings that only the right wing was helping him levitate in the space. "Who was that??" Marx asked angrily. 

"It was us, you traitor!!" Tuff screamed as he was the one controlling the Halberd. 

"I'm surprised that he learned this really quickly..." Tiff said as she was genuinely impressed by Tuff's skill on controlling the Halberd. 

"Me too," Meta Knight agreed quietly. 

"Get 'em, Tuff! Get him!!!" Escargoon cheered lively. 

"All right, you little brat! You asked for it!" Marx said as he glided towards Halberd. 

As Marx was gliding towards him, Tuff shot lasers one more, and Marx flew over, under, sideways, and around the series of lasers. "Dang! He's so good!" Tuff said. 

"Here's the beginning of the end for you!! MWAHAHAHAAHAH!!!" Marx said as he went full-on speed to head but against the Halberd, but when he did so...

......he fainted... "GAAAHHH!!!" Marx screamed in pain as soon as his head made contact with the Halberd. 

"May I do the honors?" Tuff asked. 

"With pleasure," Meta Knight said. 

"I'm surprised that ended quietly easily," Tiff said. 

"But shouldn't we get Kirby back in the Halberd?" Escargoon asked. 

"That's right!" Tuff said. "But right after I do... THIS!!" Tuff locked the target on Marx and shot the most powerful laser beam. Marx didn't scream, but he was surely defeated as he hit hard against the ground. "All right, now time to pick up Kirby!" Tuff said as he steered towards Kirby. 

"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby did his victory cheer as soon as he reunited with Tiff, Tuff, Meta Knight, and Escargoon. 

"Now, we need to go back to Planet Popstar," Tiff said. "We need to treat Kirby's burn as soon as possible." 

"I'll take the wheel," Meta Knight said. 

"Oh, yeah," Tuff said as he stepped out of the way so that Meta Knight could control the wheel. 

By that time, the sun and the moon have stopped fighting, and the regular daytime and nighttime have returned on Planet Popstar. 

"Hooray!!" Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon cheered as the sun was up. 

"Come along, Kirby," Meta Knight said as he led him to his room. Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon followed Meta Knight and Kirby to watch Meta Knight tend to Kirby's wounds. 

Meta Knight got the ointment and applied it to Kirby's cheek as that was the place he got burned. "Poyo, poyo!" Kirby flinched as the ointment was cold, and it tickled him. 

"Oof, that looks painful," Escargoon winced. 

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Tuff asked. 

"Am I not allowed to be here?" Escargoon asked. 

"I think what he means is that you were never here with us when Kirby accomplished a victory," Tiff explained. "And now you're here for the first time he accomplished a victory, and you are genuinely worried about him." 

"You have no idea how much I need to stay away from his majesty," Escargoon said. 

"Ah," Tiff and Tuff said as he understood almost immediately. 

"Still, it is surprising that he was risking his life on an adventure with us rather than serving Dedede," Tuff said. 

"Is that really surprising?" Tiff asked. "I risk my life all the time to get away from Dedede." Then Tiff said under her breath, "Also from citizens of Cappy Town in general..." 

"You know, Tiff," Tuff said. "You may be really smart, but you're also a killjoy, mood breaker, and pain-in-the-butt." 

"What did you say to me??" Tiff asked. 

"Enough!" Meta Knight said as he put the bandage on his cheek. 

"Still more peaceful than being with his majesty..." Escargoon said to himself. 

********

Marx's corpse was still on the planet where Tuff defeated him. Just then, a small ball of some sort of flame that was floating around the galaxy entered his body. As soon as it entered his body and spread throughout, his wings regrew, his eyes opened, and his fangs opened with his tongue sticking out of him. He was now 'Marx Soul'. "Hmm... is this the new body...?" Marx Soul asked himself. "I feel so... POWERFUL!!! TIME FOR REVENGE!!!" Marx Soul swore to himself as he flew up and glided towards Planet Popstar. 

The following situation started as the serial killer documentary. 

It was yet another peaceful day in Cappy Town.

Until it wasn't. 

As Marx Soul arrived at Cappy Town and started bombing everywhere in Cappy Town. 

"GAAAHH!! HELP ME!!!" "SOMEBODY HELP!!!!" "SOMEONE STOP THAT THING FROM ATTACKING US!!!" the cappies screamed as they were running away from Marx Soul's bombs and later, incoming spears. 

"WHERE ARE KIRBY AND META KNIGHT????" Marx Soul asked angrily, although it was Tuff that defeated him. 

"KIRBY!! META KNIGHT!!! THIS MONSTER IS LOOKING FOR YOU!!!" one of the cappy citizens alertedly called for Kirby and Meta Knight. 

Kirby, Meta Knight, Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon heard all the fuss that was going on in Cappy Town and they exited the castle to see what was going on out there. 

"What the heck is going on now?" Tuff asked. 

"Hold up... is that... Marx???" Tiff asked as she pointed at Marx Soul, who was flying around above the Cappy Town. 

"That is Marx!! I thought we killed him!!" Escargoon yelped. Tiff and Tuff, especially Tuff, glared at him. "Fine. I thought Tuff killed him!!" 

"We're over here!" Meta Knight called. 

"Meta Knight? What are you doing?" Tiff asked. "Kirby still needs to heal!"

"I know he can do it," Meta Knight replied. 

"How bold of you to call me when I'm about to end your lives!!" Marx Soul said as he glided towards them with his tongue being pushed aside by the wind.  

"He looks creepier now! I gotta run!! AAHHH!!" Escargoon screamed in fear as he ran away with both of his arms in the air. He ran faster than all the times when Dedede would chase with his mallet in the air. 

"I'll take care of this in the beginning," Meta Knight said as he drew his Galaxia. "Tiff and Tuff, help him get prepared." 

"On it!" Tiff and Tuff said. "Come on, Kirby!" Tiff said. 

"Poyo!" Kirby answered as he followed Tiff and Tuff back into the castle. 

"You forgot that you have not faced me," Meta Knight said before he glided towards Marx Soul. Marx Soul spat a series of bombs and seeds out of his mouth. Meta Knight flew up, down, and around to dodge all the bombs and the seeds and sliced Marx Soul in half. However, that did not give him any damage at all. Between his sliced body, a light formed that had a strong gravitational pull that pulled Meta Knight inside. Then he shot Meta Knight towards the ground. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" Marx Soul laughed evilly as Meta Knight hit hard against the ground that the dust cloud formed around where he fell, the ground cracked, and Meta Knight's face was practically buried into the ground. 

"Ugh..." Meta Knight groaned painfully as he stood himself back up. 

"How's it like to be smashed to the ground again??!! Muahahahaahha!!!" Marx Soul laughed eveilly. "Now!! Prepare to die!!" Marx Soul once again charged his laser beam. However, before he was able to shoot it to Meta Knight, Kirby's Robobot Armor dived towards Marx Soul, pushed him against the ground, and shot rays of beam into its face. 

"ARRRRRGH!! AAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!" Marx Soul screamed in pain. "WHAT IS THAT???" 

"I hope you like the Beam Mode Robobot Armor!" Tuff exclaimed. 

"Thank goodness Waddle Doo was around before we were able to scan anything, or else it would have been too late!" Tiff said. 

"Are you all right, Meta Knight??" Tuff asked. 

"I'm fine... just fine..." Meta Knight said as he clenched onto his wounds. 

"LET ME GO!!" Marx Soul shrieked as he demanded. Although he was being hit, he charged his laser again. Kirby quickly dodged it right before he shot it. Marx Soul's laser was even more powerful than before, but thankfully, not one single ray of light hit any part of Robobot Armor or even Kirby. 

"Kirby! Remember what I told you!!" Tiff said. 

"Poyo!" Kirby answered. 

Earlier, Tiff said as they were running to along with the Robobot Armor she just summoned for Kirby. "Listen, Kirby! Whenever Marx is attacking, he does not move at all! That gives him open space as long as you're not hit! So you would need to dodge, find an empty space, and attack the empty space!" Tiff coached. 

"Poyo!" KIrby agreed. 

"Also, never stop attacking! One think I learned is that you should ALWAYS go for combo attacks!" Tiff said as she gave her analysis about how to combat Marx. She has been learning different types of attacks from different enemies that she was now able to quickly learn her enemies' strategies. 

As soon as Kirby dodged the laser, Kirby clenched the fist on the Robobot Armor, and punched him on the side. He was still releasing the laser as he slid against the ground. When he stopped shooting the laser, Kirby has already transformed the Robobot Armor into Bomb mode, so while his mouth was still open, Kirby shoved some bombs in his mouth and forcibly had him close the mouth. 

"MMMPH!!! MMMPPPPHHH!!!" Marx Soul begged for mercy until it was too late. The bombs exploded in his mouth, turning him into ash and his ash flew away in the breeze. 

"Oh... it's finally over..." Meta Knight said. 

"Yayy!! Hooray! Kirby!!" Tiff and Tuff cheered. 

"Good job, Kirby!" Escargoon cheered along with them as he came out from the bush where he was hiding from. 

"Poyo! Poyo!!" Kirby cheered and the peace came back on Cappy Town.

...

......

.........

............

...............but the Cappy Town was still in ruins... again...

"Well, time to rebuild the town..." Tiff said.
