Okay, welcome back, let's kick Dimentio's can and end this adventure!
Chapter 27: The Gods Clash Within Space
Nexus Core
Nebula, Vweeb, Bender, and MaKayla stood and stared as Dimentio meditated in place and absorbed the Netherverse's energy. Lain defeated on the field were Vendra and Neftin's bloody forms. "They didn't even stand a chance…" Nebula spoke calmly.
"Oh, THAT'S it, pal!" Bender declared before stretching his left fist at Dimentio. The man merely opened a portal that the fist flew into, reopening beneath Bender as he punched his own crotch. "Ow! Why you little!" Bender grabbed his stretched fist with his other one and yanked it. "HAAAAAH!" As a result, he pulled himself into Dimentio's portal and came out beside his friends again. "Where'd I go?"
"Ahhhh… and so you are here, like predictable snot-nosed kids trying to stop something important." Dimentio spoke.
"Uncle Dimentio… this whole Nephew vs. the Uncle enemyship is really old. And the nieces, too." Nebula said. "So why don't you just stop now?"
"Ahhh… but why shouldst I… when I am on the verge of accomplishing my dream. That's what beings were born for, Nebula… is it not. To have everything and live in harmony for the rest of your lives. And with endless space… nothing could be more peaceful. Don't you agree… Nebula? Isn't that always how you felt? Floating in the empty quietness… your mind adrift, with nothing to weigh it down. Not even air. That's what eternal peace is for us, Nebula. Eternal solitude… and it can be all ours. Nebula… your mother did not understand the beauty of space. But you do. Join me… my niece. Enjoy endless space… with me."
"And be alone with no one else, forever? No one can possibly live like that. Especially with someone you don't like."
"You don't like? But Nebula… I am a Zathurian. I can tell you all about your culture… what it was like. Before… you know." He smirked.
"This whole thing started because I was trying to learn about my culture! But now, I don't even care anymore. And besides… it's the other cultures that I care about. Nightmares, Nimbi… demons. All of them… the reason the universe is so pretty is because it has so much. In all our short lifespans… we could never see it all. All the people, and unique structures that matter forms. You just don't understand… because you were alone for most of your life. You've seen the dark side of space, where there's no one to drift beside you. And I'll…I'll never let you get away with this."
"Hmmm…" Dimentio still smiled. "Alone for most of my life, you say? No… Space was always my closest friend. It comforted me… after Dimentia had left. In that serene quietness… where sounds of crying and screams of pain, could never be heard. And the Nethers were so lucky to live in a realm like this. 'Tis why they allowed me to be their king. And 'tis why… I would free this place from its infernal prison. Even if these people had to die."
"We've already gotten the gist of your intentions." MaKayla stated sternly. "And we've known for a while we had to stop you. But there's one thing… I just can't figure out: How is it you were able to stay alive for this long?! Dimentia only remained alive using Jirachi's magic. Could that mean…"
Dimentio made a devious grin. "The truth is… I'm less alone than you think."
MaKayla already knew… it was him.
"But it bears no relevance now… now that I am about to succeed. Ahhh… but how slow it's taking. I need more…more Space Chi. It seems Vendra has used up her purpose." And with that, Dimentio used anti-gravity to make Vendra float to him.
"NOOOO!" Team Nebula gasped when Neftin suddenly got to his feet and lunged at Dimentio from behind. The gorilla went right through, but grabbed his sister as they slid over to Nebula.
"Nnnnn…euh!" Vendra's voice was hoarse, using the rest of her strength to raise her hand at Nebula. "Nebula… take…take my spacebending. Save my… people. Even if I can never see them… at least…
Nebula nodded and touched her hand to Vendra's. Vendra's hand seeped through via portal, and she allowed her Space Chi to flow into Nebula. With no energy left, Vendra passed out.
"Sis…" Neftin mournfully held her in his arms. "OOUH!" Dimentio shot his back with a Starburst, and the team stepped aside as he fell over.
"AHHHH HA HA haaaa! Entrusting my Space Chi to my niece? How perfect. Now the two of us are TRULY bonded by fate!" Dimentio exclaimed.
Nebula alit Starbursts in her hands. "Yes… except I'LL use it much BETTER."
"Hah… and if lovely Vendra could not defeat me, what hope do you? Nebula…"
Vweeb quickly tapped Nebula's neck and pointed up. She gasped and smirked with excitement. "The hope that… only snot-nosed kids dream about! NOW!" (Play "Closing Battle" from Super Paper Mario.)
Boss fight: Dimentio Z. Winkiebottom
Dimentio looked up and gasped when Chris Uno fell from the ceiling, dodging away quickly before the boy could grab the Dimensionator. He tossed quick fireballs that went through Dimentio, who swiftly evaded again before Bender stretched from behind to try and grab the Dimensionator. Dimentio turned as Nebula flew at him, throwing Starbursts that he absorbed, but she warped behind to induce him with Space Lightning, in which he grabbed her hands to once again absorb this. She distracted him so MaKayla could run up from behind, jump, and BASH the back of his head with her staff.
Dimentio warped across the field and hovered over the chasm as he stretched his arms to the sides, sticking them through portals as many portals appeared around the room. The kids hurriedly dodged as a storm of Starbursts started whipping from the portals. Chris and Aurora tossed flames inside them, but they only shot back out of other random portals. Haruka saw a portal where Dimentio's hand stuck out, so she fired a gas blast inside that went to Dimentio's face. The Zathurian shook the gas away, but gasped when George leapt over in attempt to kick both feet against his face.
Dimentio warped again, leaving George to fall in the chasm, but Dillon flew by to rescue him. When Dimentio reappeared, Nebula flew over and trapped him in a Space Block, attempting to at least blow up the Dimensionator. She exploded it, but when the smoke cleared, Dimentio was already gone, having warped behind Nebula. "You should know such petty moves won't work on me."
"Yeah, I know. That's why it's good to set up petty traps."
"Whuh-?!" Dimentio's face was suddenly blocked by Dillon's, who stuck through Dimentio's body to make him look like he had Dillon's face.
"Look at me! I'm the King of Space!" Dillon joked as Dimentio tried to shake him out.
"OUT of there!" He threw Dillon away.
"Now, Kirie!" Chris bounced his agile friend upward as she fell to Dimentio with the chi-cuffs ready, but he zipped away within a heartbeat.
"Tricked AGAIN!" Sheila yelled as Bender flung her directly at the Dimensionator. "AAAHHHH-!" Sheila grabbed it precisely, except her hands and body phased right through. "Oh?" She hit the ground.
"We can't touch it!" Chris exclaimed.
"Of course." Dimentio smirked. "Any clothing the Logia is wearing becomes Logia, too. Which is perfect for absorbing the energy in this case."
"This is impossible!" Chris yelled. "If George and MaKayla are the only ones that can hurt 'im, we'll never win unless we get those chi-cuffs on."
"We have to keep trying!" Nebula declared. "If anything, he can't keep track of all of us."
"Ahhhh… 'tis true. Which means maybe I need some extra help." Dimentio whipped out some cards from under his clothes, throwing them across the ground. "It's time for some… MAGIC!" On his command, monsters emerged from the cards, and the kids had to fight against Blastboxers, Zoing-Oings, Gawbuses, and Chromebas.
"And to make things worse, he's a duelist!" Artie said as he dodged a Gawbus's bite.
"So he uses Zathurian Catch Cards, huh?" MaKayla observed, bashing a Longadile's stretched head.
"Ahhh, how long it's been since I was able to use them." Dimentio smiled. "I would love to give them a more breathable atmosphere soon. Ohh-?" Nebula shot over and tried to pelt him with Starbursts, but he dodged before slipping behind and trying to jab his fingers through her back. Nebula warped behind and channeled a surge of gravity on the side of the field, but it had no effect on Dimentio as he grabbed and threw her against it. She recovered in time to dodge his punch, then tried to lessen the gravity around his Dimensionator.
Dimentio put the gravity right back, then opened his cloak up to reveal his portal body, which began to suck Nebula inside. She warped away as Dimentio began to search for her again. Nebula had shrunken herself and was clutching the back of his shirt-collar, and Dimentio smirked when he barely felt her. He didn't have a chance to attack as MaKayla flipped overhead and whacked him toward the field, then ended up plummeting into the chasm. Nebula quickly re-expanded and tried to save her, but Dimentio channeled gravity to pull her away, making her horrified as MaKayla fell. MaKayla smirked and merely restarted the Time Recordance, so when the first clone whacked Dimentio to the battlefield, she would run underneath and throw her staff against his crotch.
She restarted the Recordance so the third her would leap above and kick down on his head forcefully, knocking him against the ground. MaKayla landed before him and twirled her staff before aiming to shove it in his mouth. However, a Longadile stretched from the side and pushed her away, and Dimentio smirked as he stood up. He saw Nebula flying at him again with fists alit with Space Chi, so the two began to punch against the other before Nebula's fists were caught in his palms. Dimentio grinned maliciously while Nebula gritted her teeth in anger, trying desperately to push him back. Dimentio's strength prevailed as he zapped her with Space Lightning, and he warped behind quickly to grab Nebula and stick his hand through her back.
"Nebula!" George gasped as the Space Chi was pulled right out of her body. He ran to throw a Time Blast, but Dimentio warped to the field's center and added it to the Dimensionator.
"AHH HA HA haaaa! With my full power restored… I am only seconds away from controlling the Nexus!"
Chris finished off a Tileoid before crying, "No!"
"Now, children… in your last moments of life, see what true power really is. Feel that utmost pain as every piece of your matter is torn to nothingness! And-…" (Play "Emergence of Talents" from Naruto: Shippuden.)
The children stared in confusion as Dimentio seemed to freeze in place. His eyes appeared to be twitching, and they could see his whole body quaking. His face bore a look of horror and madness as he stared at his trembling hands. "…What is HAPPENING TO MEEEEE?"
The kids were still clueless… but when they listened closer, they could hear a faint tune. "Mooonkeeey leeeeaches, SOOOUR peeeaches, oooonigiiiri's SAAAABADOO!"
It was a cheerful, nonsensical voice that filled Dillon with delight. "It's…IT'S HER!"
Dimentio gripped his head furiously as an annoying voice sang in his brain, in a Beethoven-like rhythm. "Cheeeerry poppers, GOOBBLE stoooppers, meats and stakies IIIN my tum! Bartholomew neckers, I LOVE checkers, although I can't really underSTAAAND a thing!"
"Guys, it's Vanellope!" Dillon exclaimed. "She's infected the Dimensionator!"
"Now's our chance!" Aurora exclaimed as they ran at him and tried to attack at once, but Dimentio flew away, still trying to control himself. Kirie leapt at him with chi-cuffs, but he warped away frantically, then dodged when Sheila jumped above him and attempted to smash down. MaKayla dashed at him and WHACKED him across the chin with her staff, then she restarted the Time Recordance so she could get behind and kick him forward. With that, George hurried over and sent Dimentio away with a Time Blast.
"Can we really keep this up for long?" Aurora asked.
"Hopefully we won't have to. Sollyx should be here soon…" Dillon spoke hopefully.
"Guys, guys, I made it!" called the spider alien himself as he skittered up the stairs. "Dillon, I was able to design the Program to serve as Vanellope's vessel! Whenever she's ready!"
"You heard 'im, Vanel." Dillon said with a cool smile. "It's time to end this."
"GYAAAAAAAHHH!" The Dimensionator began to sparkle furiously as Vanellope caused it to malfunction.
Inside Dimentio's brain, sparks flew everywhere as a miniaturized version of the glitchy girl zipped from wall to wall as a pixelly beam of light. "Lickety-Split Lightspeed KICK!" She zipped faster and faster, and overpowered the Dimensionator's circuitry.
"AAAAAaaahhh!" The Dimensionator exploded, knocking Dimentio down as the helmet rolled off his head, stopping before Nebula. The Zathurian recovered and gasped as MaKayla jumped and shoved her staff's head into his mouth. Before she could fire, Dimentio blasted her away, but failed to notice Vweeb was on the staff, and he slid down Dimentio's throat.
"Kids, watch whatchu eat!" Vweeb smirked, charging his ray gun. "Powuuuuh SHOT!"
"GYUUH!" Vweeb pierced a hole through Dimentio's stomach, using it to hop out as the man fell unconscious. (End song.)
Nebula picked the device up as smoke emerged from it. The team looked as Dimentio lay defeated, a smoking hole in his stomach. "So it's finally done…" Chris said lowly.
After Vanellope's essence entered Sollyx's computer, she possessed the Program he made for her as she emerged beside her friends. "HOO, you should've SEEN how messed-up that guy's brain was."
"It was probably better than his stomach." Vweeb remarked.
"Alright, then… let's finish him off." Harry said. Kirie nodded and walked over to put the cuffs on.
"Ha… ha ha ha."
They flinched when Dimentio warped and appeared above them. (Play "The Ultimate Show" from Super Paper Mario.) "It doesn't matter… if the Dimensionator is no more. You are… too late." His psychotic eyes shot open. "I have already absorbed enough Space Chi to merge with the Nexus BY MYSELF! At last, I can truly become one with the Nexus and eliminate all the matter by the flick of a wrist! AHHAAA!" He threw his arms up as a tremendous surge of Space Energy flew into the heavens.
The operatives fighting outside watched as a purple beam sprouted up from the Nexus, and the entire station began to reshape. Gigantic arms and legs formed from the structure, and it fully reshaped to make Dimentio's gigantic image. The purple structure also recolored to make dark-blue and yellow crystals, forming Dimentio's spiky gown. His jester's hat was also giant, pointed crystals, and crystals emerged from his shoulders as shoulder-blades.
"I am… GOD Dimentio. The unstable Space Energy… is MINE to control. And all the matter in the universe… is NO MORE!" He unleashed many beams of energy across the Netherverse, striking several asteroids and planets.
Planet Earth
A public pool was frolicking with children, innocently playing volleyball, swimming, the usual stuff. "…Huh? WAAAH!" One kid screamed when his body began to glow pink. Soon, the whole town was erupting with shrieks as their bodies began to crack apart.
Great Clock
The Great Clock was shaking furiously as these pink cracks appeared around as well. "GYAAAAH! It's happening! IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!" Sigmund screamed. "…What's happening, Sir?"
"The Nexus is breaking." Jagar replied solemnly. "If the Clock falls… will the lock hold?"
Netherverse
"WAAAAH!" The group fell into the chasm during the transformation, but were thankfully rescued by Dandy in the Aloha Oe.
"What the hell did this bastard become?!" he asked.
"The station, what does it look like?!" Nebula yelled.
"He's already destroying all the matter." MaKayla replied. "And I can feel the Great Clock failing as well. At this point, even chi-blocking wouldn't do much."
Well, THAT just BLOWS. Kirie huffed, throwing the cuffs on the floor.
"How are we supposed to fight him?" Nebula asked.
"YOU can fight him, Nebula. Using the power of the fragments."
Nebula looked at the fragments still on the Dimensionator. "What're THEY gonna do? He has control over the Nexus."
"The fragments are part of the Nexus, too. They possess the powerful energy from the Netherverse, power which can be controlled by you."
"Can't he just absorb the power, anyway?"
"Just touch them and focus."
Nebula sighed and laid her hand on the fragments, then closed her eyes. (End song.) She could feel the faint, but strong energy emitting from the crystals.
"Nebula… you are Supreme Leader Numbuh Eternal. You lead the greatest organization in the universe, one that will last for eternity. Under your command, many alien children risk their lives defending the worlds from tyranny. Your leadership, and their loyalty to you, is the source of your spacebending. You, who are the most accepting of cultures, and knows the true beauty of the universe. Your internal space is very wide, with all the friends and followers you have. All elements have a light and dark side to them, whether the physical sense or the spiritual. In Space… the dark side is its vast emptiness. Where nothing exists. But its light side… is filled with things that would take up space. And makes that space beautiful. When applying this to the Logia… the elemental and personal chi could side with Light or Darkness. Dimentio's chi… is within the dark. But your chi, even without becoming Logia, can prevail if it is within the light."
Her head flowed with many memories. On Star Haven, when she was 5 years old, she lied on the ground and stared wonderingly at the starry heavens. When she was 9, she officially started the New GKND. She stood in Galactic Kid Council as the many alien leaders cheered for her announcements. She giggled at teeny-tiny Vweeb saluting her order. All around them, the KND operatives were swarming the Nethers under their leader's command, and the Sector V team behind her, as well as her own ops, put all of their faith in her.
Nebula fully absorbed the energy from the fragments as her body brimmed with a purple aura. She grabbed the crystals and squashed them together, forming a purple glowing sword. "It's never complete without the sword." Artie commented.
Nebula flew out and caught her own body inside of a frame. She held her hands in that fashion and stretched them apart, and the kids gaped as her body increased in size. She opened her eyes and stared furiously at Dimentio, but her enhanced size was still only one-fourth Dimentio's.
"Dang, she STILL don't look all that big." Harry pointed out.
"Then maybe someone needs to help her look bigger." MaKayla smirked. She twirled her staff and stuck it to the ground, channeling a powerful surge of Time Chi. She was soon glowing with light-blue aura, and she jumped off the Aloha as well and flew to Nebula, giving a nod. Nebula caught her in a frame and expanded the timebender to an equal size. The others gaped with astonishment as both giant girls brimmed with power (and needless to say, Jerome and George felt a little inferior). They were Queen of Space Nebula, and Queen of Time MaKayla. The girls focused their sights on Dimentio and began their final clash. (Play Perfect Dark Gaia's Theme from Sonic Unleashed!)
Final boss: God Dimentio
Nebula and MaKayla flew to Dimentio's face as the god unleashed a storm of massive Starbursts, but the two evaded as Nebula shot up and struck Dimentio's face with the sword. MaKayla flew above and attempted to strike down, but Dimentio warped and smashed both girls in a giant clap. They were dizzied, allowing Dimentio to smack them several miles away, and they recovered to try and fly at him again. Dimentio formed a storm of portals that flung meteors at them, and MaKayla flew in front to whack all the meteors away with her staff. Dimentio then sent a fleet of Netherbeasts, which began furiously munching Nebula and MaKayla's limbs.
While they were distracted, Dimentio was creating a tremendous vortex that would launch a beam of Space Lightning. MaKayla shook the Nethers away before swinging her staff to draw an hourglass, sending it at Dimentio to freeze him in time. Nebula sliced her Nethers off before warping to the entity and countering with her own Space Lightning, strong enough to make Dimentio cease. The shock didn't effect him until the Stop wore off, in which he shook furiously. When the shock wore off, MaKayla flew to him and whacked across the face with her staff, then Nebula trapped his head in a Space Block to blow it up.
Dimentio shook to his senses and warped behind to grab both girls in his hands. He induced them with Space Lightning, but Nebula broke free and SLICED his left hand clean off, letting giant blood float everywhere. He released MaKayla on impulse, and she flew upward before starting a Time Recordance. She flew down and came up to whack Dimentio upside the chin. She restarted so her second clone could go beside his ear and shoot a laser directly through. The third clone flew beside Nebula as both took hold of both weapons, spinning like a drill as they flew at his chest. They unfortunately missed as he teleported and opened his body to make a black hole, sucking the two inside.
In his spiraling vortex, Nebula and MaKayla were pelted furiously by Space Lightning, and when they were thrown out, Dimentio caught them in a Space Block and exploded them. The two weakly recovered as another swarm of Nethers were sent at them, but they defeated them with their weapons before focusing on Dimentio again. He made a bunch of portals appear that stretched out crystals, attempting to block their path, and as they evaded, they ended up trapped. While looking for a way out, Dimentio's eyes appeared around the crystals, and they were instantly pelted by purple lasers as the crystals shattered. With that, Dimentio separated to multiple clones with a Space Split, and all clones flew around while throwing Starbursts at them.
Nebula evaded and split herself to multiple copies, sending each one after a Dimentio. They countered the clones with Starbursts until MaKayla drew a bunch of hourglasses and sent them at the clones, freezing them all. The Nebulas all channeled a surge of Space Lightning and imbued their swords with it, afterwards slicing the Dimentios diagonally. The entities felt terrible pain before forming back together, and Nebula did the same before dodging another crystal attack. Dimentio warped away and made even bigger portals appear beneath them, bringing up huge, abandoned space stations. He centered the gravity around Nebula and Kayla to have the stations fly at them.
Nebula repelled the stations and centered gravity on Dimentio, having them fly at him instead. Dimentio created a black hole to suck them all in, but when it closed, Nebula and MaKayla flew at him and struck his face with both weapons. Angered, Dimentio warped behind and teleported Nebula far away. MaKayla tried to attack, but Dimentio grabbed and crushed her in his remaining hand, then hurled her into the chasm. Nebula returned and aimed to pierce her sword through his chest, but he knocked the weapon away before slamming Nebula down below.
"No more… games…" Dimentio spoke darkly. "All you kids are… USELESS matter. Matter which serves no purpose in the clean, perfect realm. I will destroy you all… in the blink of an EYE!" The realm trembled as pink cracks formed on everybody's bodies.
"EEEAAAACK! My reality's breaking apart!!" Sollyx screamed.
"Boy, this is going to hurt…" Liaziana spoke.
"COME ON, NEBULA! HURRY UP OR WE'RE ALL TOAST!" Minksman screamed.
"YOU CAN DO IT, SIIIIS!" Jerome exclaimed.
"Nnnnn!…" Nebula's body was cracking as well, and she barely had the strength left.
"HA HA HA HAAAA! IT'S NO USE! IT'S THE END FOR ALL OF YOU! In the end, your leader has failed you! Failed to save what she treasured most. And now… you are ALL-" (End song.)
"STOP!" Dimentio immediately froze in time by MaKayla's power. Her body was cracking as well as she weakly trembled, while still floating in place. "I don't have enough strength for any more attacks. You have 30 seconds. It's now or never Nebula, hurry!"
Thinking quick, Nebula completely ignored the pain and flew at the entity, planting her hand against his chest. She focused intently, forming an expanding black hole within his heart. "ENDLESS VORTEX! ONE TRILLION LIGHT-YEARS PER SECOND!!!"
The vortex spiraled faster than the eye could see, and Dimentio's heart spun with it. The Stop was still active, so it didn't take effect… yet. (Play "Can't Escape, Fight (the first part)" from One Piece!)
"20 more seconds…" MaKayla smirked. "Everybody ready?"
"TWENTY!" the Glomourians cheered.
"NINETEEN!" yelled the Kateenians.
"Eighteen!" the Avalarans followed.
"Seventeen!" cheered the Irkens.
"Sixteen! Fifteen! Fourteen! Thirteen!" The fleet of aliens cheered.
The Aloha crew finished. "TWELVE! ELEVEN! Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! SIX! FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!!"
Dimentio's heart surged with the most horrendous pain imaginable. Spinning faster than the eye could see, even the speed of light seems rivaled. It wouldn't stop… just kept spinning and spinning. In all his years of immortality, loneliness, and Logia invincibility, he's never truly understood pain… until now.
Dimentio lost consciousness several minutes before the vortex actually stopped. The flow of his powerful chi ceased, and he began to shrink back to his regular form. The natural color and shape of the Nexus returned, although it was a little broken. "Finally…" MaKayla breathed as the gaps on her body vanished. "It's done." Everybody smiled with relief when their bodies returned to normal.
Nebula smiled as she returned herself and MaKayla to their regular size. They and the others flew back to the Nexus to find Dimentio's bloody and beaten body. (End song.)
Kirie smiled innocently and put the chi-cuffs around his wrists. Nebula raised her Nexus Sword skyward (or is it spaceward) and released its essence back to the Nexus. "With the fragments finally returned, the Nether Rifts will begin to close. The Nexus can repair itself of any other damages." MaKayla said.
"Good for it." Artie remarked.
It was then the region began trembling. "But the entrance we used to get here is closing. We must leave now."
"Kids Next Door, MOVE OUT!" Nebula declared. "Somebody grab Dimentio!"
Harry and Haylee carried off this task, lifting Dimentio above them by his back. The entire fleet of operatives were able to escape before the portal closed. Dimentio was lain on the Aloha's sofa, awake and barely able to move. "I really don't feel safe having that guy on my ship." Dandy stated.
"Well, what're we going to do with him?" Haylee asked. "I don't feel right killing him the way he is, but…"
"He needs to stand trial."
"What?" They all faced Nebula confusedly.
"He'll stand trial before Galactic Court. After they hear what happened, he'll be given a legal execution. That way… we can't feel guilty."
"If that's what you say… Supreme Leader, Sir." Haylee shrugged.
"Nnn, actually… how 'bout you guys do it, I'm feeling a little…" Nebula fainted.
"Hmm… I guess it's expect for someone to crash like that after exerting a huge amount of power." MaKayla smiled. "I'm feeling a little dizzy myself."
"Still, taking on a Logia spacebender… Did you all see what he was like? These girls know their stuff." Chris said.
"The truth is, Nebula never would've stood a chance with her own chi." Kayla replied. "If it wasn't for the fragments, that would've been it for us. Even I couldn't defeat him by myself."
"So we basically got off lucky." Chris concluded. "I can't imagine fighting anyone else like that."
"You don't have to worry about that now. Let's do as Nebula instructed and take him to Coruscant."
Dimentio heard it all… but didn't have anymore strength. This was his last voyage. I see… so… this is how it ends.
Galactic Council Courtroom
Reconstruction on Coruscant was taking place, and as Nebula wished, Dimentio was put on trial in Galactic Council. And Jeremy happened to be the prosecutor, speaking while the cuffed Zathurian was slumped against his desk.
"Your honor, it has been proven that this man was, not only responsible for the destruction that just took place, but was also the culprit behind the expanding black hole that appeared 20 years ago. He is a Zathurian and the brother of Dimentia Winkiebottom, whom has been framed for Dimentio's actions. May I also note that Dimentio is a Logia-level spacebender, and possesses powers too dangerous for him to be kept alive. For that reason, I recommend the death penalty."
"Hmm… does the defendant have anything to say?" Judge Mavari Zudan asked.
Dimentio sat up, sporting his mischievous smile. "I have… no regrets."
"Very well. I sentence Dimentio to an immediate, private execution in Zordoom Prison." She banged the gavel. "Now returning to the trial regarding MomCorp, the jurors recommend suing them for 35 million in reparations."
Dressrosa; Secret Laboratory
Doflamingo and his kids finally brought Caesar home to Dressrosa. They brought Caesar to a dark, secret laboratory filled with Bang Gas and other toxic chemicals. "Here it is, Caesar… your new workspace." Doflamingo said. "We've acquired plenty of DNA from other benders, too. Only this time, you'll be able to ship them anywhere."
"Shurororo… oh, Doffy-sama." Caesar wept.
"The underground transport tunnels are still intact, too, so delivering to other lands will be easy."
"RAAAAAH!" At that moment, a giant harpy-like monster shot up from a back entry, growling furiously at Caesar.
"Ohh! Hello, Monet!" He grinned.
"Better make her some antidote." Doffy said.
"Cough, cuuh." coughed Vergo, riding Monet's back. "And a paramedic." His stomach was still pierced.
Zordoom Prison
Dimentio Winkiebottom was taken to the deepest wing in the prison, passing Agatha Trunchbull in a cell of her own. Dimentio was chained to the wall of Dimentia's former cell as a group of guards took aim with guns.
I never thought… it would end like this. But my time… has come.
The guns cocked.
I'm sorry… English.
The troops let fire, and Dimentio was a bloody corpse. With his death… the only living remnant of Zathura was Dimentia. But she had forgotten all about it. Her past was gone… all that was left was her future. Her future… with her husband and kids.
Coruscant Hospital
After the fight was over, Nebula couldn't keep from passing out. She heard a monitor beeping and figured she was in a hospital as she opened her eyes to view a ceiling. She also noticed that Vweeb was standing over her with a smile. "I didn't shrink, did I?" she randomly asked. But then she noticed Vweeb was only standing on her face, over her left eye.
"No, but it would've been nice." Vweeb replied as he dropped to her lap, letting her sit up. "You've been out for 2 days; doctor says you can get up now. The others are out on the balcony."
Nebula saw most of her body was wrapped with bandages when she pulled the covers off. "What, did the Osirins work on me?" she joked.
"No, but be thankful they managed to fix you with all those reality gaps in your body." He smirked.
"Oh yeah. What happened to the Prog twins?"
"Vendra and Nef survived, too, but Vendra's spacebending is gone. You and your mom got yours back, though. But come on, you're probably tired of resting so much!" He jumped off excitedly.
After getting dressed, she and Vweeb walked onto a balcony that faced the morning sun, rising over the distant city. A few gray clouds hung over the horizon, but the sun still shone through them as Nebula overlooked the construction below. "Boy, Coruscant sure heals fast."
"Yeah." Aurora replied. "MaKayla used another huge surge of timebending to put all the buildings back where they belong. They're still wrecked from the Cragmites' attack, but they got the Drophyds to fix them. And MomCorp, too. Then she sent all the Cragmites back to their time before she and George returned to Great Clock."
"So in the end, it's a happily ever after." Nebula figured. But it was then she noticed her mother standing on the edge, her hair blowing in the breeze. Nebula stood beside her, letting her own hair blow, as she noticed her mother's head down in remorse. "…You still cared for him… didn't you?"
"…He was my brother. The only family I had… from the old days. But it doesn't matter now. It's all in the past…" She sported a smile.
"Hmm…" Nebula gave a light chuckle.
A few feet away, Vendra stood on another ledge as she looked at her hands. "I learned about my culture… but in the end, it didn't feel like home." she said as Neftin approached her. "But you know… as long as I'm with you, Nef, any home will feel like home."
Neftin looked at her emotionlessly, then spared a glance to Jerome, who nodded. "In that case…" Neftin instantly lifted her over his shoulder, "we're going to jail."
"What?! But we just got vindicated, why do we have to go??"
"'Cause it's our responsibility."
"Screw all that!! Can't we just be criminals again?"
"No."
"Awwwww!"
"Hold on there." Dandy smirked as he got in their way. "There's somethin' I need you guys for first." With a curious look, the criminals followed him.
"Oh yeah." Nebula perked. "Where's the Dimensionator?"
"Right here." Bender said as he pulled the helmet from his compartment. "The gems are gone, so… you won't make much money off it."
Nebula took the device and stared at it with remorse. "Sorry, Nebula." Aurora told her.
"It's okay. I gave the gems back for a reason. Maybe control of the elements should be left to the gods, anyway. This thing brought nothing but trouble."
"Yeah… but on the bright side, you always got me: Bender." The robot assured.
"Hm hm, what would make me happier?" Nebula smiled.
"So what's Coruscant gonna do without a chancellor?" Haylee asked.
"Since Percival Tachyon was 'destroyed' in glorious battle, we had another election, and after a unanimous decision, Nebra Phyronix won by default." Jerome explained.
"Good riddance." Nebula proclaimed.
They looked as Arianna's Nova Cruiser was coming down, alongside a familiar R.O.A.D.S.T.A.R.. Tronta and Arianna stepped off their vessel, and none other than Cheren hopped out of his. "Hey guys, long time, no see!"
"WHERE WERE YOU?!" Nebula shouted.
"Sorry I didn't get your call, I kinda had a doctor's appointment! Ha ha ha!" He grinned sheepishly.
"Uuuugh. All right, hold still, I'm gonna shrink you." She held her hands ready.
"Hey-hey-hey, hold on, hold on!" Cheren grabbed her wrists. "We have a surprise for you first!"
"Hm?" She cocked a brow.
"We do." Dimentia nodded. "On Planet Wisp. We'll meet you there." She got in Cheren's R.O.A.D.S.T.A.R. as they took off.
"You can take our cruiser." Arianna smiled. "We'll fly ahead, too."
Jerome nodded and boarded the ship fir-
"I call shotgun!" Bender exclaimed, running on first. Sorry if I misled you. Nebula looked suspicious as she boarded next, and Vweeb was about to follow, until-
"Vweeb, wait!" Arianna stopped him. "Um…" She bore a sheepish smile and shifted on her feet. "MaKayla mentioned how you helped her against Vendra… and how brave you were… and, well… I've always really admired that about you… if I didn't mention. Hm hm!"
"Well, I know I got style." he said coolly.
"Hm-hm, yes, well… I was wondering… if… you and I could do something together. Just the two of us. Like… a restaurant." She became more red with each word.
"Heheh, I know what you're trying to say. And… to tell the truth, I kinda felt the same way."
"Hehe…"
"But… the thing is… I might've only felt that way because you were pretty. No offense, but… you're kind of weak-willed."
"Oh?…" She frowned.
"I mean, I still like you the way you are, just… as a friend. But, I think, my ideal girl is… someone with more tenacity. You know?"
"Well… I can see why you'd like a girl like that. But… who did you have in mind?"
"Oh, no one in particular. But, see you at Wisp!" He ran onto the Cruiser, and Arianna watched as he climbed to Nebula's shoulder, the leader sparing a smile.
"Hm…" Arianna smiled before boarding Sector V's C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. with her brother. Haylee started its engines and took to the stars.
Corporate President Headquarters
"Mom has certainly costed us quite a bit in our maximum budget." spoke an Asian member.
"Told you those robots would be nothin' but trouble. Shoulda hired someone ELSE to do all her work. Like…Like hookers! That's be sweeeeet!" a gruff old man said.
"And after all she's done, the Head President STILL wants her to be a member! A waste of money, if you ask me!" a middle-aged man yelled, his holographic body fizzling.
"With the exclusion of President Business, I can understand her judgment." the Asian replied. "We need all the help we can get."
"But didn't Doflamingo have something to do with this?" the old man asked. "Where the hell's that bastard been?"
"Both of them will be back soon." a female spoke as her shadow appeared on a screen behind them. "But due to the victory in Galaxia, we are ordered to keep maximum watch on the Kids Next Door's actions from now on."
"If that's what the Rulers say… Miss High President." the old man replied.
Candied Island; Big Mom Pirates' Lair
"Whaaaaaat?! So Doflamingo got to Caesar before WE did?!"
"Heh heh, now now, Mama, there was a whole invasion goin' on." Nickel Joe told her. "Of course we couldn't get through in time."
"Arrrr, and attackin' a Corporate President not be in our best interests, considering we already killed one." Black John followed. "'sides, we 'ave plenty of Devil Fruits to last us."
"I hope so… I've grown tired of waiting. I want a new birthday cake NOW. But more importantly… I want to feast on that KND BRAT!!"
"Eaaaasy Mama." Augustus replied. "You'll get what you want. And I know the very first place you should look."
Planet Wisp (Play "To the Grand Line (the first part)" from One Piece.)
The team sat in patience on the flight to Planet Wisp, with Nebula's head down in thought. "What's the matter, Nebula?" Vweeb asked.
"Looking back… I kind of formed the New GKND out of selfish reasons, too. I didn't realize it until I met Dimentio… but my family's nuts. Maybe I wanted to protect kids everywhere… to show that I wasn't as crazy as them. But I almost ended up like my uncle and Tachyon."
"Yes. But when it came to it, you have proven to be a marvelous leader." Jerome said. "One who puts her team before anything else. I'm sure your daughter would love to take after you."
"Hm hm, maybe. 'Cause I sure don't take after MY mom."
The Cruiser landed as the hatch opened, and Dimentia and Cheren stood before them. "Numbuh Eternal:" Cheren began. "Your organization." And Nebula fell utterly speechless at the legions of operatives cheering away. The Glomourian Kids Next Door, Kateenians, Irkens, Nimbi, and even the Amazonians, Legoans, and Osirins. Across the distant, central aisle that led to Galactic Kid Council H.Q., stood Boa Hancock, Lord Business on his mech-legs, the High President of Osiris, Ardor, and Queen Zaádéa with President Linkyn on her shoulder. Her daughter, Lia stood beside her with Minksman on her shoulder.
Nebula exchanged smiles with Bender and Vweeb before the three began their march down the aisle. Thousands of aliens cheering their hero, the one who saved Galaxia, Nebula D. Winkiebottom. Nebula only felt shy, taking in all these cheers, while Vweeb blew kisses to his fans and Bender did a dance that involved shaking his rear. Nebula could also see Tallest Zim, King Croacus, and Chancellor Phyronix with Councilman Jeremy at the audience's end.
Lord Business, who stood tall as Hancock with his mech-legs, grinned and put an arm around the Amazon, who became angered as she kicked him away. Team Nebula walked up the stairway and stood with the rulers before the H.Q.'s entrance. She looked at all of them as they sported smiles, then faced Cheren with a smile that said 'You've been spared for now.'
It was then that a Frisbee hit the back of Nebula's head, and she turned to see Tronta snickering in the audience. She held the Frisbee and stared at it with a playful smirk. She faced the audience and declared, "KIDS NEXT DOOR:" she threw the Frisbee far across the crowd, "RUUUULLLLEZ!" And everybody scrambled to catch it. (End song.)
New GKND H.Q.
The long awaited 3rd-anniversary party has finally begun. KND operatives from all around partied nonstop, not just for their organization, but for another grand victory in KND's history.
"Oooohh look at meeee." Pollyx moaned as he wore the broken Dimensionator. "I am the Ghost of Emperor Tachyoooon, ruler of the Cragmites. Submit to my rule or have your faaace glued to your rear."
"Ugh! Don't remind me!" Haylee gagged.
"DAD, be careful with that thing!" Sollyx cautioned.
"What, they said it was broken." He replied as he fiddled around with the buttons. "This thing couldn't warp 3 light-years of its own- GYAAAAAHHH!" He was immediately electrocuted by the device before it launched an electric sphere.
"Aah!" Dillon saw it coming for Vanellope, so he pushed her out of the way. "Phew. You alright, Vanel? Vanel?" The Program girl had a rather silly, dizzy expression as her head listed left to right.
"Peanuts in the popmons, nuggets in the nutmeg, noodles as pastry bakes…" she sang.
"Told you entering Dimentio's mind would have some side-effects." Dillon said.
"That shouldn't be hard to fix!" Sollyx said. "If I just make a few tweaks to her memory, she should be good as-"
"No."
They gasped when the Zoni appeared above them. "What are they?!" Chris exclaimed.
"The Zoni." Dillon glared.
"She comes with us now. Her time has come."
"Lollies and gift cakes, STROODLES and milkshakes!-" Vanel remained clueless as the Zoni lifted her with their power.
"Hey, give her back!" Chris demanded as he tossed fireballs, but they appeared protected by a barrier. The operatives could only watch helplessly as they flew up higher. In a flash, the Zoni disappeared before their eyes, and Vanellope went with them.
"Where did… she go?" Aurora asked.
"The Zoni have something planned for her." Pollyx replied. "I don't know what… but she's gone to fulfill her destiny."
"Beep. Boop." Mr. Game-and-Watch looked at the glass ceiling, unseen sadness on his face. The 11 friends looked up at the starry heavens with wonder. After their hardest mission was complete… Vanellope still had destiny. And they may, as well. They didn't know what the future held. Their parents had so many hard adventures, but they never seemed to end. They knew, without a doubt, their journeys weren't over. And maybe, their real challenge had yet to begin. All they could do now… was enjoy the party. (Play "Let's Celebrate" from Ratchet: Tools of Destruction.)

Carol Masterson peacefully dangled her feet from the swing in the park. When she saw Sector V's C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. coming in for landing, she joyously ran to greet her Maseyfairy.
Their ship also passed over Marine Frantic's shipyard. She looked up from fixing a ship when a paper drifted down to her. A slim, muscular gentleman with a slight black beard, long hat, and hammer walked over as Marine examined the paper. It showed her image on the wanted poster, and her bounty of 8 million. Marine grinned and waved at the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S., and the man kept a serious look as a pigeon flew onto his shoulder.
