The Battleship Halberd rapidly approached Noir Terminus' eerie, marble building. By the shores, a few familiar faces had assembled and were on the offence against the Palace's followers.
Taranza, Adeleine, and Magolor were the powerhouses who were quickly advancing toward Noir Terminus' front gates.
"Galvantula! Capture them with Electroweb!" Taranza commanded with urgency
"Dragon Breath those cowards to the ground, Flapple!!" Magolor hummed with arrogance.
"Grafaiai! Use Knock Off! I believe in you!" Adeleine conveyed with trust in her Pokemon.
The Pokémon charged at the opposing team of grunts and knocked them backwards. As Meta Knight's airship landed on solid ground, Marmalade Beach's Gym Leader began yelling orders.
"CREW. EACH ONE OF YOU, ALONG WITH BANDEE AND DEDEDE, WILL REMAIN ON BOARD TO PROTECT THE SHIP! I SHALL GO ALONG WITH THE REST INTO THE CASTLE! DEFEND WITH YOUR LIVES. OUR REGION'S FATE IS AT STAKE!" Meta Knight turned to Kirby and his friends. "As for you three, stick close to the group. Your mission is to rescue your kidnapped friend and leave the vicinity quickly. For your safety, stay in one group and do not stray. If you'll excuse me, I have a mission to execute,"
Magolor, Marx in his disguise, Meta Knight, Taranza, and Adeleine all looked at each other silently and nodded. They knew they were in charge of the Popstar region's fate, and failure meant the potential demise of many. As everyone ran toward the front gates, a giant laser pierced the dark sky and blasted the large palace door open.
The crowd of trainers quickly turned their heads to see Susanna, her Porygon Z, and Iron Jugulis floating by her side.
She sassily turned her head and strutted forward.
"I'm only here because I personally want to be breathing and not six feet underground, got it?"
"Susanna-"
"DON'T YOU SUSANNA ME! I'm still furious with you after what happened last time! Now move, I'd like to destroy this crummy castle from the inside out!"
The former C.E.O., with her two Pokémon, ran inside the hallways and began attacking the Grunts and their Pokémon as a unit.
"LET'S RAID THE PALACE!" Meta Knight ordered.
The trio of trainers followed closely behind and headed down one of the smaller hallways.
"Kirby! Didn't Sir Meta Knight say to stick with the crowd?" Parasol questioned,
"If we follow them, we might not be able to save Ribbon! Who knows if we're on a time limit?" Kirby retorted as the trio continued to run through the tight corridors.
Adeleine took notice of a shadowy figure sneaking in from the front doorway and went to investigate on her own. In a small corner, the mysterious trainer laid low.
"Hey! You-"
"Sh!" Keep it down!"
"SK??? Is that you?"
The shadowy trainer grumbled and rolled their eyes.
"No, it's the ghost of your long-lost cousin - Of course it's me!"
"Geez, dude, I was just asking what you were doing out here?"
"Like everyone else that showed up, I'm going to kick whoever's butt that started this mess, so I can protect the people I care about!"
"Fair enough-"
Over the P.A. system, a blaring screech from an old man was making his presence loud and clear...
