Kirby woke up from the explosion he caused with crash feeling weary and tired, that is until he felt a healing spell touch his eyes. The dark cloud around them filled his eyes again as Twilight explained to him what his explosion caused, “I don’t know how your even remotely able to be so powerful and weird, but I’ll just treat you the same as Pinkie, weird but helpful at the same time” they entered the castle and headed up numerous staircases until they reached the top floor where a girl fiery spirit awaited them. “Sister?” Francisca said as she tried to reach out to Flamberge who had her back to them “ow!” Francisca said as her hand gained a blister by simply touching her shoulder, Flamberge despite the pure rage that was very obviously showing outside and inside her remained silent she turned around a drew her sword she floated up to mid-height as even her eyes went ablaze with agony, rage, frustration, she took up fighting position and yelled out as the battle began “FLAMMEE!!”.


VS Blazingly Dark General: Flamberge

Flamberge immediately started out by jumping over them while fling a couple small fireballs from her sword, she then clashed with meta knight briefly before dribble blew a streak of bubbles at flamberge’s hair extinguishing it briefly for twilight to land a small shot of magic to flamberge’s spine causing her to fall on her back. Apple jack galloped in to hold flamberge down but she lit her own body ablaze briefly then got back up and jumped into the air, she used fire to make her sword longer then began jumping around with it like a pogo stick attempting to skewer them. Thankfully they were able to dodge then had to duck from the oncoming stream of fireball launched afterwards, while Flamberge briefly recovered from the attack driblee jumped up under her and geysered the water from her crown as a projectile at Flamberges hands. The attack knocked Flamberge’s sword away and she immediately dashed toward it to pick it back up, Dedede tried to knock her away but was met with a hard punch from flamberge as she slid on the ground and retrieved her weapon. But thankfully Kirby was able to inhale a piece of flamberge’s hair and one quick swallow later Kirby grew a crown of his own that lit ablaze and turned the color red. 

“fire!” Kirby announced as he did a fire dash at flamberge that she was barely able to block. But it turned out that Kirby’s dash attack was just a distraction as glaceon let out a chilly breath at flamberge from behind that was quickly followed up by a magical blast from Twilight, the blast knocked flamberge against the wall who then got back up and summoned her pot cannon and turned the intensity level to maximum firepower, “you’ll never beat me or Sombra!” Flamberge yelled out “Not when I shift into maximum overdrive!”. The fuze was quickly lit and dwindled even quicker, the group rushed at her with driblee shooting a water jet at the fuse but instead of going onto the fuze itself it created a ball of water that went up the ignition line with the fuze, the two elements combined caused the cannon to overload! “Uh oh” Flamberge said as they all stared at her in an awkward silence. The cannon then began blasting fire and bouncing off the walls and ceiling as if it well as bouncy as a ball going in all kinds of erratic directions while Flamberge screamed as she held on tight, eventually the cannon bounced toward the throne room door and crashed right through it where two dark figures as well as Cadence and Shining Armor who were both chained up sat near the throne of dark crystals “not the entrance I was anticipating but for your standards I should’ve expected as much” a regal yet dark and menacing voice said from the throne, it was Sombra.


"So the worms come out of the dirt at last" Sombra said as they stepped into the royal hall Cadence and Shinning Armor had passed out on the floor earlier, and starting at them was Dark Meta knight cloak wrapped around him waiting for when Sombra gave the word to strike. "I see, despite not knowing your power has grown considerably". The group looked around, they didn't feel stronger at all "I don't need more power my awesomeness alone is enough to blind you!" Rainbow Dash said cocky as usual. "I'm talking about only that thing" Sombra said pointing a hoof at Kirby who stood with a blank expression "you don't recognize it but you somehow are getting stronger by the minute, it baffles me how but even with it this should put you in your place!" Sombra charged a dark blast fired it off a few moments later "SHADOW FLARE!" he cried as the blast tore forward. Kirby heard screams echo around him as he felt the immense darkness surge at him but some how he felt nothing no pain, no burning, no cold, nothing.
