Chapter 103: Assemble!
The Ultra Space.
Like always, Team Rainbow Rocket's Neo Castle was flying at full speed, doing its best to remain out of the League's radar. For a long moment, this worked. For many days, it had been able escape Elio's search.
But this couldn't last forever. Its luck would eventually run out.
And it ran out.
"Is that...?" Elio said as he spotted the castle in the distance. "This must be it! Let's approach it, Lunala. But be careful."
The bat-like, Moon-themed Pokémon on which he was riding, Lunala, nodded with a "Very well," (Elio got a translator, allowing him to understand it) before it flew toward the moving castle.
"Yes! This is their HQ! Finalyyyy..." he said in relief, slumping on Lunala's crescent-shaped head. "Uh... Lunala? Can't you turn off your Full Moon Phase? We are going to be spotted."
"You know very well that I can't while we are in the Ultra Space," Lunala replied. "I will just avoid getting closer."
Being in its Full Moon Phase, Lunala's usually night blue wings and yellow crescents and stars at their tips were glowing at lighter colors, pretty much turning the Pokémon into a light making it easy to be spotted.
Elio carefully searching something in his pockets and pulled out a small device. "But I need to place this tracker on the castle. Without it, Palkia won't know the castle's coordinates to open a portal to it."
"Then we will have to find something. At least, I see nobody on the towers and walls."
"It doesn't mean that they don't have a way to see if something is getting too close to them."
"Yes. Probably, in case Ultra Beasts decide to get too close and to attack," Lunala agreed.
Elio groaned and placed the tracker back in a pocket before he took out a phone and called someone.
"Hey, Dawn. I finally found the HQ. ... Yes, but I don't know how to place the tracker without being spotted. We can't get too close. Do you have an idea? ... What is it? ......... That's great! Alright, I'm waiting."
He ended the call and began to wait while Lunala continued to fly after the castle. Then, after a few minutes, Palkia appeared beside him. Elio presented the tracker to it, and Palkia teleported the device right on one of the towers, at one of the entrances.
"Perfect!" Elio shouted victoriously. "Hopefully, this will be over soon!"
The door to Sugarcube Corner opened, allowing a certain filly alicorn to enter and finally join her pegasus friend's cute-ceañera.
Pinkie Pie suddenly popped in front of her. "You are late!" she shouted, gaining the attention of many of the other people (not just ponies) attending the party, and eventually, all eyes were on her and Sweetie Void.
"Sorry Pinkie. Something happened and delayed me," Sweetie Void replied to the pink mare with a seriousness that surprised her.
Then, everyone saw the three human boys and the weird creature following her, said boys looking just as serious.
Twilight immediately approached. "What happened."
Sweetie Void stared at Twilight, and the mare immediately saw in the filly's eyes that what happened was very bad. "I think that I encountered that army we were warned about."
The party was cut short. Sweetie Void was sorry that she pretty much ruined her friend's cute-ceañera but Shadow Speedster didn't mind, understanding the gravity of the situation. Very rapidly, Twilight and her friends gathered in her castle's throne room with Sweetie Void, Ness and his friends, Starlight Glimmer, Spike, Present Tails (the one who had been working alongside Twilight and the others), Present Sonic, the president of the United Federation of Mobius, E. Gadd, Magolor, Susie, Celestia, Luna, Phantom, Apple Death, Chairman Keaton, General Pepper, Future Zelda, King Liam from Past Hyrule, Princess Peach with the Mario Brothers, and even the Twilight and company plus the princess sisters from the two other Equestria, making the room quite crowded.
When Sweetie Void and the human boys finished recounting their tale, everyone else had horrified or grave expressions. If this Subspace Army really was what they had been warned about, then they were darn glad of the warning. Just the Subspace Bombs made this army into a much bigger threat than anything any of them ever saw. And these bombs and the obviously advanced technology going with them under the command of someone as screwed up as this Porky made the threat even worse. And this was knowing that Porky was just one of the generals. If the other generals were as bad, without forgetting the Supreme Commander or whatever was their title, then yes. This was worth gathering several universes to form an alliance.
Everything was recorded so this could be repeated to whoever would need to hear about that, like the other leaders of the alliance from the Techno-Equestria or the Champions from the Pokémon World.
"We will need to send a team to study this... void bubble left by the bomb," Magolor stated, much to the agreement of the others in the room.
"Maybe even Void himself," Susie added.
"And now that it's clear what our enemies are and how dangerous they are, more or less, then I think that we can all agree to hurry up to form our alliance," Keaton said.
Celestia nodded. "The team for the F-Zero-verse is ready to be sent. Hopefully, they will be able to convince the local leaders to join us. Now that contact was made with the Subspace Army, who knows when this will happen again, and where."
"The team we will send to study the void bubble will also have to do that with the local world," Sweetie Void's Twilight said.
As the more politically inclined people present began to discuss about the actions to take to prepare now that they knew about the Subspace Army, the others (Phantom, Apple Death, the three sets of Element Bearers minus the three Twilight, the Mario Brothers, E. Gadd, Sonic, Tails, and the three human boys) left the room to have their own discussions, starting by the ones who were first meeting each others introducing themselves, leading to many small talks as they were getting to know each others.
"I would have never expected plumbers to be heroes," Sonic said after shaking hands to Mario and Luigi.
Mario let out a laugh. "I feel that I will often hear this in the future. But really, everybody can become a hero. This shouldn't be surprising."
"True."
"So Ah guess we must come up with nicknames fer everyone," one of the Applejack said as she looked at her counterparts, not minding the three Pinkie Pie excitedly bouncing around as they finally had the occasion to greet the new friends.
"For reminder, us Rainbow Dash already have nicknames. I am Zapp."
"Phantom Dash."
"Chromatic Bolt."
"Can I be Surprise?!" the three Pinkie Pie suddenly shouted simultaneously, startling all the mares. The three pink Earth Ponies then exchanged glares before one of them said, "Let's settle this with Rock, Paper, Scissor!"
The two other agreed, to the confusion of the ponies.
"But you don't have hands!" Phantom shouted from where she was in the room.
The Pinkie Pie didn't listen however and curiously put a hoof in their manes while chanting "Rock... Paper... Scissor!"
The three suddenly pulled an object out of their manes. Two pulled out scissors while the third one pulled out a rock.
"Yes! I win!" the one who pulled out the rock exclaimed with a bounce while the two others looked down sadly with a defeated "Aww..."
Meanwhile, Phantom stared bemusedly at the scene. "..... Okay. This should have been obvious."
"Hum... Which Pinkie are you?" one of the Fluttershy who weren't a living giant plushy asked.
The Pinkie who won pulled Chromatic Bolt against her. "I'm hers!"
"So the Pinkie from Sweetie Void's Equestria. Okay," Shadow Dash said with a nod. "We will have to find a way to physically differentiate you from the two other Pinkie Pie... Same for everypony else. Excepted the robot Applejack and plush Fluttershy. You two are obvious."
"That's some nice inventions you made here. Impressive for your age," E. Gadd said as he examined Jeff's stuff alongside Tails who agreed. About the inventions, not about these being impressive for Jeff's age. Tails, after all, was even younger than Jeff and yet was able to build robots as easily as you build buildings out of toy blocks.
The boy was blushing at the praises. "Thank you, professor. But that's nothing compared to what my father can do."
"I would like to meet him, but don't belittle yourself. I'm sure that you will eventually surpass him."
"It will be hard for you to meet him. He disappeared a few months ago. I have no idea of where he is."
"That's strange. You should lead me to his laboratory when we have the occasion. Maybe I could find a clue of what happened to him."
Jeff frowned. "I don't know. I already searched and found nothing."
"It still costs nothing to try again with us to help in case you missed something," Tails said.
Jeff nodded, agreeing.
Eventually, the discussions merged into one, returning to the real matter: the Subspace Army, and Porky.
"How do we deal with someone who is immortal?"
"Easy. He is immortal, not invincible," Sonic answered.
Apple Death nodded. "We destroy his walker, make sure that this is the real Porky, and capture him."
"And then we send him inside the core of a star, or into a black hole. Not sure which one would make him suffer the most, but both would ensure that he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone anytime soon," Phantom continued darkly, making many in the room gulp.
"I sometime forget that you are part that Infinite psycho," Sonic said. "But yeah. That's the gist of it. We capture him and trap him somewhere he won't be able to ever escape. Not necessarily a star or a black hole however."
Phantom scoffed. "A simple cell would be too good for him."
"Well, when you think about it, a cell in total solitary would be a really cruel punishment in the long run. Being alone by himself with nothing to do for millennia could become absolutely unbearable for him and lead him to become absolutely insane or outright just stop thinking. In other words, he would still be alive, but he would be pretty much brain dead. For eternity," E. Gadd informed. "The human brain is just not made for this."
Interested, Phantom began to think about this only for Apple Death to talk. "We'll see what we'll do with him once we get him. But what about these purple spheres their soldiers are made of? Ya think they can produce them?"
"Probably. Meaning that they would have an infinie supply of troops," Poo said.
"In addition of robots. They can certainly build and use them," Tails said.
"Well, they did sacrifice two robots to activate the bomb," one of the Rarity reminded from what Sweetie and the boys said.
"Why do they need to sacrifice robots to activate a bomb?" Shadow Dash wondered.
"The question we should ask is "why did they design the bombs this way?"" E. Gadd corrected.
"No ide-"
"GUYS!" they suddenly heard Sweetie Void shout urgently from the throne room. Quickly, they all returned in the room to see Sweetie Void happily showing them the screen of her phone. "They finally found it!"
We found the Team Rainbow Rocket HQ. We are starting the preparations to assault it. Your help would be more than welcome.
The message came from Elio.
"Team Rainbow Rocket?" Ness asked.
"It's a team who is causing huge problems in another world," Phantom explained. "They have several corrupted god or god-like monsters in their control, and their leader wants to get his hands on the God who created their universe."
"That's great! We will finally get to deal with these guys before we will have to focus on this Subspace Army!" one of the Twilight exclaimed in joy.
But then, a sound indicated that Sweetie Void received another message. Upon looking at it, she said, "It's from Dawn... Oh..." She looked up at everyone in the room. "Team RR just launched a general assault on Mt. Coronet. It seems that this is it. They are attempting to get to Arceus."
"Well, obviously, we're answering the call," Apple Death said.
"Corrupted god-like monsters, uh? Count me and Tails in," Sonic said.
"Us too," Mario said for himself and Luigi who gulped at this.
Ness exchanged glances with his friends before he said, "Us too."
Sweetie Void looked at all of them before she smiled. "And I think that I can bring more people to help us. I'll be back in a bit. Meanwhile, everyone who wants to join gets ready at the foot of the castle," she said. She then opened a rift and walked through it before it closed.
She appeared before Dedede's castle, only to see the Waddle Dees and other members of Dedede's army in full panic mode when she entered.
"Uh. What happened?" she asked.
"Oh Your Majesty Sweetie Belle! It's horrible! The King just disappeared into a vortex with a part of our army!"
"What?!"
"Yes, the King was just chilling on the walls of the castle, and then that star-shaped vortex appeared without warning and sucked in everyone who wasn't inside. Even some of the bricks of the castle were sucked in."
"When did this happen?"
"Just a few minutes ago."
"And any idea where this vortex led to?"
"Not at all."
Sweetie groaned. "Ugh! This couldn't have been at a worse timing! But without knowing more, there is nothing I can do. Where is Bandanna?"
"Trying to control the chaos that the King's disappearance created with Cape Knight's help."
"Well, listen to their orders. Until Dedede returns, they are in charge. I will ask Void to investigate this vortex."
The Waddle Dee nodded.
Void, however, wasn't present in Kirby's house. Galacta said that he decided to rebuild the second portal-world, the one that had been entirely destroyed during the second Ancient Civil War when he became corrupted and went on a rampage backed by the Magic Clan after their exile following the first one. He thought that this second portal-world would be eventually needed. Void himself would simply do the primary part: putting the pieces back in place. It would then be up to everyone else to repair the rest, like they were actually trying to repair the first portal-world.
The idea was that they could use one of the portal-worlds to call fleets and other huge things into the Dream Universe, and then use the second portal-world (which would be moved just beside the first one) to immediately send said fleets to another universe, the Dream Universe thus serving as some kind of bridge to rapidly move fleets from one universe to another. But portals would need some modifications however as they were originally only designed to send stuff back and forth between the Dream Universe and the home universe of the Ancients, which was now gone anyway.
Sweetie loved the idea as they would have a mean to move the Federation and Cornerian fleets around without her or Void having to be present to open huge rifts that could damage the dimension. It would be VERY useful against the Subspace Army.
But it also frustrated her because it meant that Void couldn't help for the vortex. Instead, Galacta agreed to see what he could do about the vortex. He wasn't sure that he would be able to do much beside being on the lookout in case more of them appeared however.
"I will warn Meta Knight and all the others. The more the better," he added before he flew toward the HQ of the Meta Knights, leaving Sweetie Void with Kirby.
"Well then. Kirby? Do you want to come with me to help fighting a powerful group of villains attempting to control their universe and certainly many others?"
Kirby looked at Sweetie questioningly. "Villains?"
"Yup!"
The puffball gained a determined expression at this and nodded. "Poy!"
"Great! I missed fighting alongside you!"
"So, you are in?" Sweetie asked to Link, back in Past Hyrule.
The hylian child nodded. "It would be wrong to do nothing when I can help." He looked down at Kirby. "Uh..."
"Don't worry about Kirby. He is more than able to fight."
"Okay."
"So. I'll give you the best bananas we have on Dream Land if you help us. Deal?"
"Deal!" both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong exclaimed.
"Don't worry. General Pepper already contacted us. He's ready to pay a huge sum to us if we are able to eliminate this Team Rainbow Rocket. But we will need help to bring the Great Fox to this other universe," Fox said.
"These guys are a threat to everyone. We could only agree," Slippy added.
"So you want me to help?" Captain Falcon asked. "Why?"
"First, because you are a great fighter and you would be really helpful to deal with all their corrupted monsters. Second, because I know that this is not your style to let villains threatening innocent lives, and billions across universes are threatened by them. Third, because we are ready to pay you with whatever you want. I'm not sure if the Federation and Cornerian credits would work, but I'm sure that we can find something. And fourth, I encountered what seems to be this army I told you about, and the last thing we want is for Team Rainbow Rocket to delay our preparations to face it. The Subspace Army seems to be as dangerous as expected, so we don't want to lose time."
"They are all good arguments," the Captain said with a nod. before he chuckled. "The second one would have been enough, you know? Very well. I'll help."
Back on Equestria, at the foot of Twilight's castle, a rift opened, and out of it came Sweetie Void followed by Kirby, Link, DK and Diddy, and Captain Falcon. Upon arriving, she saw that Phantom and Apple Death were present along with the three sets of Element Bearers, Scootabot, Sweetie Ghoul, Little Ghost, the three Luna, Magolor, Susie, Sonic and Tails, the Mario Brothers who were now with the Yoshi who helped against the Cankens, Future Zelda, and Ness and his two friends. In another group were all the ones not going to fight but wishing to support the first group by watching them go. Among them were Shadow Speedster and Black Apple who just joined.
"Uh. I expected to see Star Fox," Phantom said upon seeing the alicorn and who she brought with her.
"Star Fox is coming with the Great Fox, but I will have to open a rift for them once we're on site," Sweetie Void replied. She then proceeded to quickly present everyone before she said, "There's also Samus who is already at Mt. Coronet."
They mingled, Link getting toward Zelda who was glad to see him again, the primates joining the Mario Brothers with DK strongly tapping Mario on the back, and Captain Falcon talking with the ponies. Kirby remained beside Sweetie Void, but he waved happily at everyone, making most of the females present who never met him to aww at him.
"An ape?" Sonic wondered.
Said ape flexed his arms. "Yeah!"
"Woah. Knuckles would love to have a go with you."
"Are you a superhero?" Ness asked to Captain Falcon in aw.
The man laughed. "Not at all. But I guess that I'm like one in the eyes of many. And being a beacon inspiring others is worth everything."
Jeff was examining Kirby. "What... the heck... are you?"
"Kirby!" the puffball answered cheerfully.
"Uh... Is that your name or the name of your species?"
Sweetie Void giggled. "That's his name." She then looked around at everyone. "We should go. I don't know how things are going on Mt. Coronet, but we should hurry to help them."
Everyone else nodded, and the alicorn opened a rift before the group walked through it.
To Mt. Coronet.
She never remarked the small spiderbot hidden in her mane.
At the top of a tower of one hundred floors, Porky was slowly waking up in his chamber. With a yawn, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, and jumped out of his king-sized bed, right on a small, circular robot that transported him to the bathroom where another robot curiously looking like his mother brushed his teeth, helped him change out of his pajamas, and combed his hair. He was then transported into the dining room where he was served breakfast by a Pig Mask soldier with a chef hat.
As he was eating, a Pig Mask colonel came and gave him a salute before he shouted, "King P! There's-"
"Yeah yeah, I know." Porky waved dismissively at him, and the colonel quickly left.
Once he finished breakfast, the same robot than before transported him to a room with a huge screen. He then pressed a button beside a blinking red light, and the screen turned on.
"Why did it take you so long to answer?!"
"Aw, come on, Master. Give me some slack. After playing and being repeatedly killed, I needed my rest."
"You should have warned me or the Minister before you went and took a bomb and several thousands Shadow Bugs!"
Porky shrugged. "Why? It did no harm. We already have more than enough in stock, and I'm sure that what I used has already been replaced. Beside, you should thank me and make me employee of the month. The bomb I took pretty much served as a test and proved how powerful they are. And now, you have your first captured area."
"I didn't need to test them! But the problem isn't that! You went behind our back and did what you wanted! What if something went wrong and you led an enemy to us? We can't allow all our preparations to go to waste! We aren't ready yet!"
"Pfah! You had nothing to fear. Everything went according to plan. Excepted for one little thing that made everything more fun. I encountered a traveler from another dimension."
"A dimensional traveler?"
"Yeperoni, Master! And a powerful one at that! And seeing how she reacted to our army, I judged that it would be smart to keep an eye on her. So I discreetly placed a trackerbot on her when she was busy repeatedly slaughtering me. A real savage this one. She really didn't like what I did. Eheh."
"... I don't want a repetition of what you did! Next time you want to use our resources for one of your schemes, warn us. That's the last warning. You think that you may be above everything because you are immortal, but you can't be further from the truth."
Porky gave him a mocking salute. "Noted! So, what will you do about the traveler?"
"I will see how much of a threat to us she is, and depending of this, eliminate her. You are dismissed."
The screen turned off.
The room was then plunged into silence as Porky stared at the screen. He then got a chill before he let his robot transport him elsewhere.
"Eh. Poor little horsy. I pity her. Oh well. Not my problem anymore."
After over one hundred chapters, here we are.

Oh hohoho, Once Team RR is dealt with I’m gonna enjoy what will come Next.
Multy-Crusaders! Assemble!
Subspace Emissary, Forgotten Land, and Ultra Sun and Moon are all happening simultaneously, it seems.
This is gonna be a busy week for Sweetie Belle.
11295050
Actually, Ultra Sun/Moon has already happened, and The Forgotten Land hasn't started, just the prelude. In The Forgotten Land, Dedede was sucked into a vortex some time before Kirby.
o god..i can barely wait for the frigin EPIC fight i know you have waiting for us lucar!!!
its almost energizing in a way!.
11295414
Nothing less for the big final of the first Saga.
So, it seems that Void's attempt to repair the portal network caused some unexpected glitches due to the Ancients' original universe being less destroyed, and more... Forgotten.
11295754
Not the same universe.
11295943
The game was not subtle about the Forgotten Land being the origin of the Ancients.
11296072
That's right, but in my story canon, the Ancients weren't humans and didn't came from Earth (now known as the Forgotten Land) but were a totally different civilization made of several peoples that have united together, like Magolor's people or Hyness' people, and who had for home dimension the Other Dimension, the first universe created by Void, now gone. But don't worry, I already know how I will include the humans in all this while keeping in-canon, including explanations about Shiver Star.
11295713
and i know as sure as i can ever be in my entire life that you wont disappoint!
this weird void portal... did they just get back after the events of Forgotten lands? and the ultimate clash awaits. not only is their base found, but they are launching their assault on mount coronet... now i am curious, how does Rainbow rocket plan on Getting to the Hall of Origin?
11297505
Cyrus stole the Azure Flute that had been kept in the Sinnoh League after he killed Cynthia.
A comment I read somewhere made me think how powerful could it be in this story a Mega Rayquaza Dynamax using the Z Move... Too bad we don't have Mega Sweetie Belle Dynamax using a Z move
11298995
Sweetie Void using such a move while using Dynamax energy would pretty much result in a supernova. Maybe even an hypernova. So, not something she will use like that. Her Mega form would be when she unleashes her full power without turning into her Soul form, when her mane and tail transform not just into fire but into pure darkness (like when she faced Crakkthulx).
11299681
And yet, even with a Hypernova power, I somehow doubt it could take even 1 HP from the trillions of HP bar that a certain God that want to eat her could have.
I’m excited to see Kirby and Sweetie together again. I’m hoping Kirby gets on her back even if she doesn’t need his help anymore. Also, would the other ponies get powers from Kirby or is that unique to Sweetie?
11300007
Exactly, excepted that DD doesn't have trillions of HPs, but an infinity. To defeat Them, a being transcending everything, Sweetie will have to use something else than physical attacks.
11300018
All the ponies would get his powers if he was to sit on their back. It would work even better than when Kirby sat on Sweetie Belle because he can now shift between his abilities at will, so he could give the ponies whatever power he wants them to have, whenever he wants.
11300092
Oh god. Too bad they’d lose the ability as soon as he jumps off or we could have more Mass Attack shenanigans but the ability wielders aren’t an inch tall this time
11300106
Lol! Yes. Too bad Kirby doesn't have an ability to double himself either, like Void. You imagine if he could create clones of himself and all of them could go on the back of the ponies to give them their powers?
11300092
Does it counts as a mental attack to sing "The song that never ends" for a thousand years?
11300454
With the most annoying, ear-bleeding voice ever? Certainly. Even better if she sings it off key.
11300480
There we have a way to torture Porky for what he did, let's just hope that don't make him crazy enough to have a crush for Sweetie Void...
11300525
With him, everything is possible. He could even find it funny and start to sing alongside her.
11300533
And then he could send the recording to "the boss" and Sweetie somehow manage to win indirectly
11300769
Lol!
Just a question... Is the bad guy boss Xenahort? But then, could he make PorXky a nobody/heartless?
11301468
Nope. It's not Xehanort.
11296089
hey while we are on the Top of KATFL, I wanted to Ask you Lucar:How Hard would you Consider Chaos Elfilis Fight compared with all the other Boss fights of the Kirby Games?
11303670
Mmh... It's hard to say. Chaos Elfilis is very difficult, especially the second form that hits like a truck (eh...). But once you learn the patterns, it becomes very easy. The first time, it took me four tries with the Morpho Knight Sword, when it usually takes me maximum two tries to defeat all the other secret final bosses in the saga. The second time, I got it first try without ability. However, no matter what, I still can't even beat Void when I try to do it without allies, and that's not saying when I tried without allies and without abilities. But with a good ability and with the right allies, I still defeated it first try.
So I guess that it depends. Chaos Elfilis has a lot of tricks up its sleeves that turns the fight into the most difficult one for first timers, but once you know these tricks and the surprise effect passes, it's maybe the easiest secret final boss of the saga. Of course, it isn't helped by the dodge system of the game that makes it very easy to dodge its attacks. Without the dodging, it would probably be the hardest boss. I honestly don't know how to avoid its lasers without the dodging.
