Chapter 132: Winter Horns Part 2 - The Battle of Blizzard Bridge
The Lor dropped the heroes before the bridge's entrance, and already, they understood that a big battle was before them. From the sky, they saw that the bridge was filled to the brim with enemies. It seemed like the Beast Pack decided to do a show of force. Unless it was Dedede? They must be getting close to him. Already, Awoofies were running toward them.
DK cracked his knuckles. "Aw yeah! Let them come! Let them come!"
Present Sonic stretched his legs. "Hold your horse! There will be enough for everyone this time!"
"You are the one who says that?" Pikachu asked. "You will leave us in the dust. I just know this."
Already, Fox fired at some of the closest enemies. "Just don't run in front of my blaster."
"Ooooh! Let's count and see who eliminates the most enemies!" Marx said.
Several of the others rolled their eyes.
"Just let's go already!" Flamberge shouted before she charged into the action, quickly followed by Phantom, and then by DK.
The battle wasn't hard, but fierce. The Beast Pack really was trying to get the heroes with their number, hoping to overwhelm them. Advancing on the bridge itself was very straightforward. It was just a bridge after all. No complicated platforming or twisting paths. Barely any obstacle beside bricks littering the floor. The heroes just had to advance forward while fighting the many enemies. There wasn't really any organisation. The heroes advanced, and fought, and when needed, helped each others. Even Elfilin helped where he could.
Just before reaching the first pillar of the bridge, they encountered a Gigant Edge that really stood out among all these small creatures that composed the enemies. As such, they saw him coming, and he received a few projectiles before Link intercepted him. The Gigant Edge could hit hard with a sword but was very slow, which was his downfall against Link. Even when the Gigant Edge put up his shield, Link simply rolled around him to hit him on the back, or leaped above him to hit him on the head. The Gigant Edge didn't last more than one minute against the boy despite some enemies trying to distract him.
"They should have sent more of these guys," Sweetie Void said. "Just one is as good as if they sent nothing."
"I don't think that they have a lot of these guys among their ranks," Link said. "They only have what the rifts brought to them."
"True."
When they finally reached the first pillar, the heroes remarked a hole in the wall at the left, and Krystal pointed at it. So Kirby went in and took with him the Three Mage Sisters. Inside, they found a cone wrapped in vines, above water with a platform moving left and right. Timing it right, Francisca cut the vine, making the cone drop on the platform where Kirby inhaled it. With it, he dropped another level, on another platform, and then destroyed a cracked section of floor to open a hole and reveal a treasure chest with a Waddle Dee trapped in it.
The small group returned to the others who were a bit ahead, and Sweetie Void sent the Waddle Dee to the town before she continued fighting. A new big wave of enemies with a Fleurina at their head was already coming.
"First a Gigant Edge, now a Fleurina almost right after... Oh. It's one of these moments," Sweetie Void said.
"What moment?" Ness and Elfilin asked.
"In almost all our adventures, at Kirby and I, there is a moment where we end up fighting all the big enemies of the current adventure one after another. If I'm right, then after this Fleurira, we will quickly encounter a Frosty and a Bonkers, not necessarily in that order."
"Seriously? Mid-boss rushes?" Phantom deadpanned. "They exist in real life? Button Mash would be happy."
"They are more common than you would think," Diddy said. "It happens to Mario all the time."
"Ah confirm," Apple Death said. "Ah went through a couple of them when Ah shared some of Mario's adventures. Bowser loves them, or even what ya'd call boss rushes."
Dixie was the one who ended up fighting the Fleurina. Whenever the bird wasn't spinning, Dixie jumped on her and slapped her with her hair. She had no problem dodging the small tornadoes she sent, and even baited her so the tornadoes ended up swiping other enemies.
When the Fleurina was defeated, the heroes continue to the next pillar where there was another hole in the wall, this time at the right. Kirby went in along with Jeff and Anubis, and he already understood that he had to use the Storm Tornado Ability on a fan in the middle of water to open a gate to a switch at the other side of that same water. Jeff fired at the switch with his gun, elevating some platforms and allowing Kirby to focus on inhaling a vending machine to destroy a shutter door with Anubis' help. Behind the shutter door was a Waddle Dee.
Back with the others, they saw that, after that second pillar, the bridge was broken. The heroes had to jump on pieces that remained to traverse the broken section, until they reached a new wave of enemies with a Bonkers. Spiky personally dealt with this one, with pure brute force and fire, which worked very well on the Bonkers' fur. The Bonkers had no chance.
Reaching the third pillar, there was a hole in the right wall. However, this time, it just led to a stake to pound, which opened a secret passage at the left. Kirby, DK, and Fox went in, entering an area where they had to pound more stakes to make walls on the upper level slide back, temporarily opening the way to a Waddle Dee trapped behind a grid and a cracked wall. To reach him in time before the walls slid back out, Kirby ran ahead while DK pounded the stakes and Fox dealt with the distracting enemies. Kirby then reached a car on the upper level and used it to roll rapidly to the cracked wall, saving the Waddle Dee.
Meanwhile, on the bridge, the others had to traverse another section by jumping on even smaller pieces. Meta Knight also found a well hidden Clocker with a Waddle Dee under the bridge. He was really thankful to Krystal and Anubis. By the time Kirby's group joined them, everyone was at the other side of the broken section, facing one last wave of enemies with two Frostys, just before the exit of the bridge.
Ness easily defeated the first Frosty while Francisca fought the second one. But then, Anubis pointed at the roof of the pillar at the exit of the bridge, making everyone remark the presence of a figure on it.
Despite the mist stopping from seeing too far, they could see that the figure was none other than a human!
"Uh? Who is this? I thought that all the humans were gone in this world," Sweetie Void wondered.
"Who am I you ask, little horse girl?" the figure asked back, taking a pose, before he rose an arm to reveal a green Clocker, then jumped. The green Clocker struggled to lift him as they slowly descended until the poor bird couldn't hold his weight anymore and they both suddenly dropped and crashed hard on the remaining Frosty, knocking him out right away. The human then quickly got up doing as if nothing happened, letting go of the green Clocker who flew away, and took another pose as he revealed himself in his full glory, twirling a naginata and doing some slow movements with his free arm.
The man was very tall and stout, wearing steel armor with red clothing and grey pants with red polka-dots. He also had multiple layered skirts, a belt with a monstrous face on the clasp, a red helmet with black horns and a tassel, and black and gold bracers and boots. His face was entirely white with red markings.
"I am the legendary world wanderer warrior! Through countless realms, I sought the greatest challenges and weapons! Armies and mountains crumbled before my might! This is me..." Dramatic pause. "Gilgamesh!!! I was starting to think that this world was empty of worthy challenge, but I finally found you. Now, it's go time!" Gilgamesh exclaimed before he dashed toward Meta Knight.
"Woah! Are you sure you want to take on all of us at the same time?" Sweetie Void asked as Meta Knight parried Gilgamesh's thrust, which packed a punch apparently.
"That's generally how it goes. Groups of heroes always gang bang on me. I'm just too strong for them to try their luck in a duel."
"If you want a duel, I can give you one," Meta Knight proposed.
"Wait, really?"
Meta Knight nodded.
"Ooohh! I like you, weird masked knight! Very well! Let's duel!"
Meta Knight nodded again and signed for the others to step back, which they did, some with reluctance. Instead, they circled the two to continue dealing with the enemies that were still around, although said enemies were also observing to see what the heck was going on. Some went to the bridge's exit not far behind and freed the Waddle Dees in the golden cage present. Kirby and others went on a walkway circling the right part of the pillar to find another secret passage and free another Waddle Dee with the help of the Ice Ability and a pipe.
The fight between Meta Knight and Gilgamesh turned at nobody's advantage. Meta Knight was fast and avoided Gilgamesh's thrusts and swipes with his naginata, but in return, the naginata's long range didn't allow Meta Knight to get close enough to slash Gilgamesh with his sword without risk of a counterattack. For Gilgamesh, the Galaxia was more like a dagger. Any attempt for Meta Knight to get in range to slash Gilgamesh was met with a swipe of the naginata. His speed still allowed him to land a few hits, but he got bonked on the side more than once in return or got punched with what Gilgamesh called Goblin Punches. Meta Knight wasn't sure what was the difference between a normal punch and a Goblin Punch, but it hurt all the same. He also avoided a Death Claw that seemed bad news.
So Meta Knight decided to attack with sword beams and waves, keeping his distance. When he flew to distance himself from Gilgamesh more, the man sent Wind Slashes which countered Meta Knight's own waves. Gilgamesh then sent, of all things, a Missile that Meta Knight barely avoided before he decided to use his telekinesis to pick up rubble and rain it on the man.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Telekinesis? What is stopping you from picking me up and throwing me into the water bellow?"
"You would just come back. It would be no use beside gaining some time."
Gilgamesh let out a relieved sigh. "Oh thank you! I hate when they do that!"
Missile!
Another missile was sent toward Meta Knight who quickly levitated some rubble in its path before he charged energy and planted his sword into the ground, sending tornadoes. To his surprise however, Gilgamesh ran right through the tornadoes and got him with a thrust of his naginata. "These tornadoes are mere breezes!" Meta Knight made him pay with a tornado of slashes, slashing Gilgamesh all over his body.
"Mmh. You are good, but you seem sadly limited in your abilities. Beside that telekinesis and these tornadoes, do you have anything else?" Gilgamesh asked.
Meta Knight remained silent at this.
"I see. Well then, let me show you."
Haste.
Protect.
Shell.
"See? Speed, defense, and magic defense increased! And I'm still just warming up!"
Meta Knight understood that he had a problem.
He began to send waves after waves, but Gilgamesh's increased speed and defense showed themselves. He barely felt the waves, and he rapidly moved after Meta Knight to constantly attack him. He still wasn't as fast as Meta Knight, but he was able to keep up with the regular Missile and even a Rocket Punch (which was just a boxing glove fired with a rocket). He also regularly Jumped at Meta Knight, threatening to crush him under his weight while closing the distance in one go. This continued for a few minutes until the effects of the spells seemed to disappear as Gilgamesh abruptly slowed down.
"Seems like it is time to end the warm up," Gilgamesh said.
Disable.
Somehow, Meta Knight couldn't attack anymore. He was now visibly sweating. He was so distracted by his now inability to do any action beside moving that he didn't see Gilgamesh that cast Haste on himself again coming until it was too late, and he was hit by a Death Claw. As a result, Meta Knight found himself paralyzed, and he felt that he was about to lose consciousness. One last thrust from Gilgamesh was all it took to knock him out.
"You lost! Not a big surprise. Ahah! Now, allow me..."
Gilgamesh promptly grabbed the Galaxia before he looked at the other heroes.
"So, who wants to try next? Unless you understood that I'm too strong for you and decide to do a one versus all. I won't mind. Well, a little."
"I'm next!"
Galacta Knight suddenly landed in front of Gilgamesh.
"Oh! Hello lady. Didn't see you."
Galacta Knight almost fell over. "I'm a guy! Didn't you hear from my voice?"
"Oh. Sorry dude. With unknown alien species, you never know. And, well, pink."
Galacta now glared at Gilgamesh.
"Let's just start this fight," Gilgamesh quickly said before he cast Haste, Protect, and Shell on himself again. "I have the feeling that I should start with this right away."
He was quickly proven right. Galacta Knight took his light form and rained lightning on Gilgamesh while also sending fire and ice projectiles.
"Oh. Lightning, fire, and ice magic. That's better."
Galacta then slashed open the fabric of space, sending a space beam. Surprised, Gilgamesh barely leaped out of the way.
"Woah! You can do that?! Seriously?! How is this possible?"
Missile.
Galacta Knight avoided the missile and sent a swiping laser from the tip of his spear. Tanking it, Gilgamesh charged at Galacta Knight who deflected the naginata and counterattacked by slashing several times, then barely avoided a Death Claw. Even with Haste, Gilgamesh received a real onslaught of slashes, sword beams, and lightning, and he barely managed to land a few hits in return, not even with anything dangerous like Death Claw. Quickly, Gilgamesh decided to cast Disable, stopping all actions from Galacta Knight who let out a growl at this.
"You definitively are a couple levels above the previous one. But I will give you a little secret of mine. This isn't even my final form! Gilgamesh, Morphing Time!"
Appearing out of nowhere, six new arms suddenly added themselves to the two he already had, giving him a total of eight arms each holding a weapon.
In addition of the naginata, he had two katanas, one of which was very long while the other had a red blade. He had what appeared to be a gunblade with a blue blade and a winged lion decorating it. Another was a purple-bladed scimitar with lightning patterns decorating it. The remaining ones were all swords, one of which had a black blade and a golden hilt, another was a beautiful sword that felt very holy, and the last one was a blue and silver sword with a silver sun on the hilt.
Holy.
Seemingly coming from the holy sword, a powerful light of holy energy was unleashed and hit Galacta Knight. Thankfully for him, in his light form, it didn't seem to be very effective, but no doubt that if he had been in his dark form, it would have hurt a lot. But in addition of that, Gilgamesh attacked right away by charging at Galacta and using his eight weapons, starting by firing with the gunblade. Against eight weapons added with Gilgamesh's increased speed, Galacta was quickly overwhelmed, even if he felt something wrong with one of them.
"That's strange. I barely feel anything when I'm hit by this sword," he said as he pointed at the blue and silver sword after flying away.
"You say you barely feel anything? This shouldn't be. This sword is the Sword of Legend! Excalibur! It should damage you beyond any other sword! Unless..." Gilgamesh stared closely at the sword. "Wait... Oh. Oh come on! Deception!" He threw the sword away. "I mistook an Excalipoor for the Excalibur! AGAIN! After all I went through to find it! Bah. No matter." He grabbed another sword from behind his back, one that looked like the ocean with a golden hilt.
From the moment he grabbed this sword, Gilgamesh seemed to better evade Galacta Knight's slashes and countered all of them. Galacta Knight made especially sure to avoid the purple scimitar. He had a bad feeling about this weapon. At the same time, the black sword cast Flare, creating a huge explosion that dealt a lot of damage. Galacta Knight returned the gift with several space beams and a rain of sword beams.
Pond's Chorus.
Gilgamesh suddenly did a weird song which the notes became visible and moved toward Galacta Knight. The next instant, Galacta Knight was transformed into a toad.
In this form, Galacta had no way to defend himself. He was then hit by a powerful cross slash with all eight weapons, followed by the spell Electrocute, and followed by a slash from the purple scimitar. Right after this last slash, Galacta Knight dropped unconscious. Gilgamesh then cast Panacea on him, returning him to his normal form before he grabbed his spear.
"You are a very powerful warrior, but you seem to not have any defense against magic. Because of that, despite all your power, you still are a pushover against me," Gilgamesh said.
Before he could call the next opponent, Fierce Deity suddenly appeared before him and slashed him hard.
"Ugh! Oh, you, you will hurt."
Sweetie Void quickly teleported Galacta out of the way as Link and Gilgamesh began a ferocious melee. Holy and Flare were cast, along with Electrocute and even a powerful Hurricane, but no matter what Link took, he continued to fight. It was the same for Gilgamesh who never seemed to get any closer to defeat despite the many powerful attacks he was hit with. Link especially hurt him a lot when he managed to land a hit, but Gilgamesh tanked and returned each hit just as badly.
Gilgamesh was the one to jump away from the melee before he cast Pond's Chorus to turn Link into a toad. However, this had no effect, to his surprise. Same when he cast Lilliputian Lyrics, and then Time Slip. Flash was also absolutely ineffective. Only Disable worked, but only temporarily.
"Could I finally have met my match?" Gilgamesh wondered as Link took another Flare but continued to fight as if that was nothing.
Then, Gilgamesh cast Break.
And a 10 appeared above Link's head.
"Oh! It works! Now, this fight is as good as over!"
As the fight continued, the 10 revealed to be a countdown that slowly went down. 9... 8... 7...
Sweetie didn't know what it will do once it will reach 0, but seeing Gilgamesh's confidence, she gulped. Will he really...? Will the Fierce Deity Link really lose?
After about one minute, the countdown reached 0, and Link was suddenly petrified.
It was over.
"And I win! Three zero! In the end, you still had a weakness. For your info, thanks to my Genji Armor, I don't have any! Now, how about we make it a four? This is a really good day to be me!"
"Not for long!" Sweetie Void shouted before she walked in front of Gilgamesh. "Your next adversary is me."
Behind her, Ness used PK Healing to turn Link back to normal. The boy took off his mask and sighed in defeat.
"Also, if I win, you will give back everyone's weapons."
"Mmh..."
"However, if you win, sorry to say that you won't be able to use my weapon. It works only with me. Instead, I will ask a friend to forge a weapon just for you."
"Really? A weapon just for me?" Gilgamesh sounded and looked like a kid. "Very well! I accept!"
At this, Sweetie Void revealed her ten beam swords and sent them at Gilgamesh who was very surprised. For the first time, he had less weapons than his adversary!
Haste! Protect! Shell!
It was hard to follow the melee that resulted. Too many weapons. But there were still the regular Flare and Holy, and Gilgamesh still was able to evade and counterattack many of Sweetie's attacks. Still, it was clear that he had the disadvantage, and not just because Sweetie had more weapons than him. For the first time, his adversary could heal. So, no matter what Sweetie took, it immediately looked as if nothing happened.
Gilgamesh tried his spells one after another. Pond's Chorus, Dancehall Daze, Lilliputian Lyrics, Disable, Time Slip, even Break. Either she was immunised to them, or she just transformed herself back to normal.
So Gilgamesh then tried more fancy-looking moves with his weapons while casting damaging spells like Electrocute, Hurricane, or Stone, but she tanked or evaded all of them. Now he knew that he met his match, for real.
But Sweetie was also surprised at Gilgamesh's endurance. He went through Meta Knight, Galacta Knight, Fierce Deity Link, and now her, without healing once, and it still was as if he just started fighting. Also, it was no wonder that heroes always attacked him in groups. Unless they were immunised or had ways to counter the petrification, the toad transformation, the sleep, the paralysis, and all the other stuff he can do, duels against this guy were impossible to win. Healers were obligatory to have. Sweetie tried herself to copy Gilgamesh and to cast the spells, but as Gilgamesh said, he was immunised to all of them.
Suddenly, Gilgamesh jumped away, caught the green Clocker in the air, and just... began to fly away while cackling, the Clocker struggling like before. He also dropped the Galaxia and Galacta Knight's spear.
Sweetie was so shocked by this sudden and unexpected action that she was speechless for several seconds before she recovered and yelled, "Hey! Are you serious?! You are just running away after all that?!"
Sweetie was answered by Gilgamesh and the green Clocker dropping into the water. Then the man just swam away.
"The nerve of this guy! He challenges us, and at the first real lost of advantage, he runs away! Without even saying anything like a "not bad" or a "sorry"! I almost want to chase him to give him the what for!"
"Still, to think that there is such a strong guy..." Bandana Dee said.
"At least, he showed that we don't have much defense against magic, as he said. We should find something against that," Meta Knight said, and she agreed. The only ones in this group who could do something about that were Sweetie Void, Ness, and Poo. And certainly Kirby with the right Ability. And maybe Phantom with her powers? It would need tests.
Twilight will have a lot of work.
Also, Sweetie had the feeling that Gilgamesh hadn't been giving his all in this fight, and that she will see him again.

so, i am unsure how i didn't expect Gilgamesh to show up and and prove himself Sweetie Voids equal.
But i can tell you i would not have expected him THIS early (so to speak).
EDIT: Spoiler Censored.

static.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/7/79/Gilgamesh_transformed_from_Final_Fantasy_XIV.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210422063855
Gilgamesh is the most recurring character of Final Fantasy. First appearing as the right hand man of the main villain of Final Fantasy 5, he since appeared in almost every episodes as a (secret) boss or as an invocation, or both, and despite each FF happening in a different universe, it's almost always the same guy because he can travel dimensions. He explores worlds in search of the legendary sword Excalibur and challenges any warrior he meets to collect their weapons. He isn't evil, he just loves to fight and to collect weapons. He is also very goofy and hammy, sometime even breaking the fourth wall. He is a fan favorite.
11564427
There was a big bridge, I saw the perfect occasion.
11564418
This iteration of the character is actually in reference to his appearance in Final Fantasy 14 from what I can tell.
The character itself is a mixed reference between the Mesopotamian king of the same name who refused to die, and Saitō Musashibō Benkei, a Japanese Sōhei (warrior monk) who lived in the waning years of Japan's Heian Period.
The former is a literal Odyssey that I feel like you would have to look up and read for yourself to understand, even if i did know it, which i don't.
The latter is actually a very interesting tale that ties more closely to the character the Heroes meet in this story.
i will admit, i'm gonna copy paste some Wikipedia page stuff, so please don't get mad for any reason.
Stories about Benkei's birth vary considerably. One tells how his father was the head of a temple shrine who had raped his mother, the daughter of a blacksmith. Another sees him as the offspring of a temple god. Many give him the attributes of a demon, a monster child with wild hair and long teeth. In his youth, Benkei may have been called Oniwaka (鬼若)—"demon/ogre child", and there are many famous ukiyo-e works themed on Oniwakamaru and his adventures. He is said to have defeated 200 men in each battle he was personally involved in.
Benkei chose to join the monastic establishment at an early age and traveled widely among the Buddhist monasteries of Japan. During this period, monasteries were not only important centers of administration and culture, but also military powers in their own right, similar to the Roman legion. Like many other monks, Benkei was likely trained in the use of the naginata, the half-moon spear.
At the age of seventeen, Benkei was said to have been 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall. At this point, he left the monasteries, and became a Yamabushi, a member of a sect of mountain ascetics. Benkei was commonly depicted wearing a black cap that was a signature theme of such mountain ascetics.
His most noteworthy points of note however are actually his meeting with the young man Minamoto no Yoshitsune as well as his death in defense of that same man.
Upon first meeting Yoshitsune, Benkai had long since embarked on a quest to take 1000 swords from Samurai warriors, whom he believed to be, and i quote, "arrogant and unworthy of their blades." He had already collected 999 swords from a respective 999 other warriors, and saw Yoshitsune's supposedly gilded blade as a worthy final addition to his collection, and subsequently challenged Yoshitsune on the spot.
The place of their first duel is actually a point of minor contention as some say it happened on Gojo bridge near the Gojotenjin Shrine in Kyoto, where they actually met with Yoshitsune playing a flute and neither wished to disrespect the shrine by having their duel there, while others cite the same reasoning for them going to have their duel at Matsubara Bridge, but regardless Yoshitsune defeated the much taller Benkai, leaving the latter frustrated, eventually challenging Yoshitsune to another duel at Kiyomizu-dera, a Buddhist temple located in eastern Kyoto, that he also lost, and then swore his allegiance to Yoshitsune as his retainer.
The second significant note doesn't really tie into the character here AS much, but at least is a more historical parallel of sorts to the fact that whole groups of heroes often need to fight him at the same time.
1189, The Battle of Koromo River.
As Minamoto no Yoshitsune went into the castle to commit seppuku, Saitō Musashibō Benkei stood guard at the bridge itself, buying his master enough time to perform the ritual correctly.
500 soldiers were brought to eliminate these two.
And upon seeing Benkei standing alone on the bridge.
Any who approached were slaughtered.
They eventually resorted to raining arrows on him until he fell.
Only for them to realize upon approaching after the first volley that Benkai, who seemed unfazed, had indeed succumb to the arrows.
Still standing. But not living.
11564444
You saw the shot and you NAILED it.
11564444
11564418
Also, sorry to both of you for the wall of text that got pinged on you.
11564485
That's ok. I always like reading about Benkei. So badass.
Hah, the Moment I saw the Title Of the Chapter, I got suspicious and when I reached his Appearance I got Smile. Well Played.
Also Really Liked how he Was Handled. One a should always Keep in mind How Legit Strong he His despite Being A Goffball Most of the Time lol.
11564478
I usually describe it as having filled him with so many arrows that he technically didn't go down due to the sheer volume of wood keeping him up. The actual physics is a bit more complicated, but the fact that they had to resort to that is still relevant.
It's also worth noting that because this was a stalling action, Benkei actually succeeded at his goal; Yoshitsune was in fact able to commit seppuku undisturbed.
11564505
indeed.
11564504
It was hard to not give even a single hint. I was so excited. I wanted it to be a big surprise.
11564430
Thanks, I'm not familiar with the Final Fantasy franchise. However, I have been discovering the lore of Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition thanks to an in-depth walkthrough I found on YouTube. I can share the playlist with you if you need help figuring out the story and stuff.
11564541
Yeah, I wouldn't mind some lore because I may have missed some of it. Thanks.
11564546
Here you go. The YouTuber who made those videos always tries to complete each game he plays to 100 percent, and he does his best to showcase various things, so his videos should be a good source of information.
11564568
Thank you.
For a moment I was confused thinking that maybe Sweetie did something wrong and this story somehow connected to the Gilgamesh of Shinigamisparda and the multiverse of the Displaced
11564579
Lol! It's already complicated enough, there is no need to add the displaced, even if I like the story you talk about.
11564572
Just be prepared, though; not only does the game have many crazy twists, but whenever the Hero interacts with any bunny girls or the team battles any succubats, don't be surprised if they perform a "puff–puff", as the game puts it, on him or the party members respectively. Granted, it isn't actually shown, but I hope you're not squeamish about that sort of thing regardless...
i also feel it relevant to note your uncanny ability to update this story as i'm rereading it.
Typically either right after i finish it or towards the beginning of it.
So far no in-between.
11564716
Funny coincidence.
Dedede’s up next, but the question is who fights him? I know it’d probably be better to have someone not from this world fight him, but I could still make a solid case for Kirby, maybe even Meta Knight with someone else on the sidelines in case he loses again.
I have had this song and a scene of everyone in the current arc of this story singing it in the middle of a bonfire at Waddle Dee Town in celebration of a successful mission respectively on loop for at least an hour, and stuck in my head for at least two.
EDIT: restructured to make more sense.
11564859
Well, there aren't many in the group who can hold their own against him, so unless they decide to work in group...
11564887
Nice song. I imagine that too, now.
so... i have a weird idea.
Remember your Linkle reference in the Ocarina of Time arc?
What if she actually joined the heroes... after somehow finding her way to the Redgar Forbidden Lands while trying to get to Waddle Dee Town?
EDIT: i bring up that specific set of circumstances, because as far as i recall, in Hyrule Warriors at least, Linkle was only involved in her little section of the story, because she kept getting lost on her way to find Hyrule Castle.
Do you think you could have a cameo from a black talking cat with white feet named Noelle, who absorbs most energies that get near her, and expend that energy to use it like a very low-tier deity?
I know this is random and probably won’t work, but I think it would be pretty funny for her to randomly appear somewhere, and maybe have a single fight with Sweetie.
11566082
Outside of a Zelda universe, impossible. And since she doesn't exist in the canon games, then I don't think she will appear.
11569245
Yeeeeah... No. Random OCs appearing out of nowhere like that won't be possible.
11569323
Yeah I expected that.
11569323
i did say it was weird.
11564887
..ok that would be cool as all hek
Would pay if I had money to see someone make that into an actual animation.
