Jimmy saw their first challenge on the new mountain around them. He saw that there were 7 fairy like monsters. One for earth, fire, wind, water, Light, Dark and Moon. Jimmy took his magic powers and summoned a wave of rainbow energy that knocked all seven fairies back. Each one of Jimmy's friends took on a fairy. Goombario took Earth, Parakarry took Wind, Lakilester took Water, Watt took light, Kooper took moon, Bow took dark and Bombette took Fire. Jimmy just stood behind and gave his services to whoever needed them.
Goombario headbutted the earth fairy and knocked her back on the ground. She tumbled back and summoned a rock to crush him but Goombario jumped out of it's path. He began glowing, powering himself up and she summoned several flowers around him, bursting into spore that made Goombario sleepy. He jumped up and headbutted the Earth fairy again, knocking her even further, she hit the ground and Jimmy finished her off with a blizzard blast.
Parakarry flew and dashed around the Wind Fairy and she summoned a storm which made him lose balance and fall onto the ground. Parakarry closed his eyes and summoned two sharp wing blades which wizzed and smacked her on each side. She then summoned a mini Tornado which Parakarry got caught in. She smiled but was suddenly hit from the side with Goombario. She was knocked down and Parakarry got the best of her tornado. He whizzed and slammed her at the same time goombario slammed her on the other side. She fell to the ground and swirled into nothing.
Lakilester did his best to dodge the jets of water sprayed at him and he countered with a spiny egg. She dodged it but it hatched when it hit the ground, forming into a spiny who did its best to attack her. She fended off the spiny but not before she was hit by another. She summoned a wave of water which washed both spinies away from her. She leapt up with her water form and tackled Lakilester and knocked him to the ground. He groaned and got up but she knocked him down again. Suddenly she was tackled from behind by Parakarry and she was defeated.
Watt tried to attack Light but she shone so brightly she couldn't see the bright fairy. The nixie of light slammed Watt with a tackling attack and she jumped back to prepare to to a jihad when Watt rushed her and tackled her to the ground. She summoned more light but watt shone just as bright. They continued to shine brightly and ended up disturbing everyone else. Lakilester chucked a couple of spiny eggs and they clobbered the Nixie. She fell down, defeated.
Kooper jumped in his shell and rushed the moon spirit but she jumped out of the way. She dipped into her bag of powder and sprinkled Kooper with it. With a puff of smoke, she changed Kooper into a rabbit. She smirked but then cried out when Kooper jumped at her with his rabbit body. She ducked out of the way but she slammed into Watt and she turned on the juice to shock the moon fairy into paralysis. Kooper rabbit kicked the pixie until she melted into the floor, defeated. Kooper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw he was back to normal.
Jimmy ran to Bow who took her chance to club Dark over the head with her fan. Dark then latched onto Bow and started to drain her energy like a vampire and Jimmy ran in, using a yellow force ball to knock Dark Fairy away from Bow. Bow and Jimmy both took the chance to attack, Dark. Jimmy used a magical force ball made of light which stunned the Dark Fairy and Bow attacked with a flurry of slaps and Fan hits. Dark then slowly dissipated, defeated.
Bombette laughed when Fire lunged into her, causing another explosion which knocked Fire against the new formed mountain's face. Fire then summoned a fireball and slammed Bombette with it, knocking her back and knocking her nearly senseless. Bombette wound herself up and ran into the Fire Fairy, exploding and knocking the fairy back. Jimmy took the opportunity to take his feather and turn it into a Vat of water. Jimmy spilled it on Fire, blowing her out in a huge cloud of steam.
"What do we do now?!" Jimmy asked and suddenly the mountain scraped and caused the ground, it lowered the mountain's level and suddenly they all felt sick. They stepped back to find a perfect clone of themselves the only difference was that their eyeballs were missing out of their heads. "What the heck?"
They began to fight their clones but with each punch, kick and magic attack they pulled of, the clone did exactly the same thing. Jimmy stepped back and asked anyone around. "How do you beat a clone!?"
The clone replied. "You know... You can't beat us. We share the same mind and therefore we know all that you do. You might as well give up and welcome your doom!"
The Fake Goombario approached the real one and said. "You know...You're pretty worthless...you can only reveal your knowledge and do headbutt attacks. If you really want to protect Jimmy, kill yourself and make yourself into some armor he could wear."
The Fake Lakilester approached the real one and said. "You know...you really could use a 100% personality overhaul. You should turn yourself into something Lakilulu would like. After all, you avoided commitment because you're afraid of her finding out she's not the one for you...and guess what? She isn't! No girls are!"
The Fake Parakarry approached the real one and said. "You know...You need to think about yourself. You used to so often when you were alone delivering the mail. I suppose when you do, you'll find that you're nothing but a worthless failure. You aren't any good at anything...even delivering letters."
The Fake Bow approached the real one and said. "You know...you need to grow up. You want to leave home so why don't you? Because you're scared you'll need help and you will! It's really shameful too seeing is how free you are. You deserve to be locked up."
"Your family hates you! Don't you see?" The fake watt grinned. "They think you're the worst thing to ever happen to them!"
"You're just getting in the way of Proffessor Kolorado! Come to think of it, you get in the way of everyone! You should leap into the sea...but then again, you'd get in its way too!" The Fake Kooper shouted.
"Dud...Dud. Dud! Dud!! Dud!!! Dud!!!!" Screamed the fake Bombette. "Pathetic pink dud!!!"
The clones continued belittling their real counterparts and made them feel small. It was so literal that their clones grew in size and they felt themselves shrink. Goombario almost started crying but realized what they were trying to do. "Wait!! They're trying to make us feel bad! That's their strategy! Everyone, don't give in to their insults!" Goombario turned back to his smirking clone who was now twice his size. "You don't have any right to say those things about me or any of my friends! You're nothing but a clone so... No offense but why should I listen to you? You're just a cheap copy invented by her up there!"
The clone Goombario suddenly started to shrink and he vanished. Goombario watched as everyone else's clones vanished as well. They then saw the mountain starting to move and shrink, revealing their next challenge. It seemed to be a naked woman and she looked too gorgeous. She hat little bat wings in her hair and she was lying on a black and red velvet blanked. Jimmy looked away and said. "Whoa! Put on some clothes...maybe I'll peek..."
"Lakilester..." She whispered silkily. "...Come to me, Lakilester..."
Lakilester suddenly started floating eerily over to her. Jimmy ran over and attempted to restrain him and keep him from getting to her. "Lakilester, stop! She's trying to charm you!"
A greenish swirl appeared over Lakilester head and he lost himself to his desire. He floated over to her, tripping over himself. She smiled to him and said. "Hit your friends till they drop!" Lakilester nodded eagerly and picked up a spiny egg and chucked it at Goombario, knocking him over. Lakilester laughed dreamily, the light gone from his eyes. She continued. "Now you...Kooper...come to me..."
Kooper smiled but then looked away. "Ugh! Stop..."
"Do it! Now come to me! You know you want it..." She hissed. Kooper wandered over to her, with his eyes half closed and a green swirl appearing over his head. Kooper got into his shell and whirled into Bow but flew through her. Kooper and Lakilester were mumbling something and stumbling around. She smiled devilishly.
"This is what you'd call Femme Fatalle. She's the most powerful siren you'll meet on this quest. Please don't fall under her spell...You'll be lost to her forever!"
"Oh, how do you defeat someone like that?" Jimmy timidly asked.
"Come to me...Parakarry..." She gently beckoned. "Please...you have to satisfy my wishes..."
"No! Parakarry! Be strong! You don't need her!" Bow shouted and grabbed a hold of him. He then starting getting violent about letting him go. Parakarry then freed himself and flew over to him, a swirl of green appearing over his head.
"Oh! She's taking all our people!" Goombario protested. "If we don't defeat her somehow, she'll steal everyone and we'll end up getting killed!"
"Goombario..." She smiled and gently beckoned. "I want you..."
"UGH! STOP IT!" Goombario shouted. "I HAVE TO KEEP...B..Y" He was struggling to resist the Femme Fatalle.
"...Bet she loves herself tons too...Hey! That gives me an idea!" Jimmy smiled and swished his feather, forming a large mirror. He rushed over and showed it to Femme Fatalle and she smiled impishly. "How about you take a look at your infinite beauty and splendor?"
"Oh no...Jimmy's fallen under her spell..." Bow mumbled to Watt.
"Wait...no, he's barding. He's playing her like a lute...you just look!" Watt smiled back.
"Can I compare you to a summer's day? No I can't...because you're far beyond anything like that." Jimmy trobadoured and handed her the large mirror. "You can't match anyone in beauty..."
"Well...I am quite a sight..." She swooned and suddenly Parakarry, Lakilester and Kooper awoke from their feverish trance. Femme Fatalle continued. "I really am pretty...look at that...wow...pretty...hee hee hee..."
The three guys ran over to Jimmy and asked. "What happened?"
"I broke you of her spell...she'll be gazing at herself for hours upon hours..." Jimmy smiled.
Femme Fatalle started shrinking and she eventually withered away into nothing. She still looked at the mirror and whispered things to herself. Jimmy and everyone saw her vanish. They looked up and saw that they were rising up to meet the final challenge ahead of them. The mountain lowered itself again and Gelnishia finally revealed herself. She turned out to be a beautiful Drakonian. She had raven hair and black wings, and she was wearing a black dress with a large black crystal in her chest. She smiled evilly and gazed at them with her amber colored eyes. "Ha ha ha!! I knew you would be able to beat them! Now this makes my victory so much sweeter! Prepare yourself!" She raised her arms to the sky and suddenly the Temple like background eroded away into a space background. Gelnishia smiled and flew into the distance. "Here comes the end of all creation..."
The battle was like space but they could still stand on the ground. They felt it shake more and more violently. Then suddenly everything turned bright red and they saw that they were shaking. Everything warped around them and the surroundings melted into a maelstrom which blasted all their senses and then the area glowed super bright. Jimmy saw everyone was down and out but him. He turned to his enemy and they began combat. He launched a force ball and so did she. They balls met and it created a huge explosion of magic, knocking them both back. She then summoned more force balls and they flew around her. She launched them all and Jimmy couldn't avoid them without making his divine transformation. Jimmy closed his eyes and with a bright white blast, transformed into his Drakonian self.
He shielded himself with this wings and he opened them up again. She then rushed at him and he ducked out of the way. They both took to the air and they fought the battle. She summoned many black force balls and he had no trouble keeping up with her. They connected and exploded in super heated plasma. The explosion sent out light as light as the dawn. Jimmy then turned to his downed friends and made a wish. "I need your help to fight her...please..." Suddenly from the corner of the starlit battlefield, there was seven shooting stars. Each one circled over one of Jimmy's downed comrades and sprinkled stardust on them. They all disappeared and turned into line drawings in the stars. They could all see Jimmy and Gelnishia fighting. She then did her attack again. "Here comes the end of all creation..." First came the shaking then suddenly everything turned bright red and Jimmy saw he was shaking. Everything warped around him and the surroundings melted into a maelstrom which blasted all of his senses and then the area glowed super bright. Jimmy tumbled back in the spacey environment.
She took out four feathers and she smiled dervishly when she transformed the feathers into crystals. One for each elements like earth, water, fire and wind. Jimmy fell into meditation and focused his thoughts. The four crystals flew about him but he just struck them away with his wings. He then opened his eyes and a pure white ball of energy formed within him. Soon he let it out and it flew in an explosion of hot white light. The explosion lit up the pseudo cosmos and she was struck by it. She shielded herself but then she shrieked from the hot white pain she felt about her. Jimmy looked up and said to his friends. "It's now time! I need you to lend me your strength and hold her so I can deliver the final blow.
All of his friends nodded and suddenly six orbs of light appeared around her in a prism shape. She then sneered but screamed when they formed a rainbow barrier that trapped her from doing any damage. The seventh power source flowed within him and he became surging in white light. "...Goombario...I'll do this for everyone on our world. Now it's time for this battle to end!!" He then breathed and he created a bow and arrow of light. He aimed the bow with grim accuracy and fired the arrow. The arrow flew into her and she screamed horribly but then looked over herself. Then she smiled at him.
"That was it?" Gelnishia asked defiantly but looked down and screamed. She was braking apart into tiny triangles and she saw in horror as the breakage crept up her legs and soon she herself broke into a million triangles. She crumbled and disintegrated right into nothing. Jimmy looked up and shouted. "Thatz the battle!!"
The battlefield returned to the Temple area and they suddenly felt the ground shake. Everyone crowded around Jimmy and he transformed back into a human. "Everyone! We need to get out of the palace now! It's falling!" Jimmy then ran to the entrance of the temple area and said. "Let's get out of here!"
Suddenly the lights went out in that room of the palace. Watt nodded and shone brightly to lead everyone out of the room. They walked through the door and they saw the platform over the lava again. They were about to get out when the chains holding the platform up broke. The platform fell and sunk into the sludgy lava. Jimmy frowned and then Lakilester smiled to him. Jimmy nodded and took Goombario in his arms and they floated over the lava to safety to the other side. They ran to the stairs but found that they were losing their stability. Jimmy shrugged and ran down the stairs but they crumbled and he fell down to the floor before. Parakarry zoomed in and caught him, he lowered Jimmy gently and they continued their run. They ran back to the room with the body parts hanging from the ceiling. They were all over the floor now and it grossed everyone out. Lakilester took Jimmy and Goombario in his cloud and ferried them over the body parts. They ran down the stairs and suddenly the doorway out collapsed. Bombette then turned to them and gave them a nod. She jumped onto the pile and Jimmy brought his feather over himself, forming a shield to protect the rest from the blast. Bombette exploded, causing the rocks to move out of the way. They ran through their new doorway and they were out of the Black Palace. Jimmy then nodded and transformed into a Drakonian. Goombario protested that Jimmy wasn't strong enough to transform and fly down but Jimmy just grabbed him and Kooper and Bombette changed into their badge forms. Jimmy flapped his wings and dove back down to the earth. The black clouds were parting and the sun poked through them. Jimmy flew to a beach and landed shakily. He flopped down on the sand and sighed. "That was a a tough escape..."
"Hey! Check out the palace!" Lakilester shouted and they watched it disintegrate. It broke into many pieces and those pieces broke. Soon it was only dust that could blow away in the wind. "It's going, going, going ...gone!!"
"So looong, Zombie world!" Parakarry smiled. "Look! The sun!"
The sun poked out of the clouds which weren't even black. They returned to their normal puffy white selves. The land was turning green and the zombies all returned to their graveyards and returned to resting in peace. The people of Toad Town and all the surrounding villages timidly came out of their houses and they smiled and cheered when they saw that the sun had returned and everything had returned relatively normal. Jimmy took out his Jammin' Jelly and shared it with everyone. "Well...that wasn't too bad for my first real adventure. What do you say we go back to Toad Town to celebrate?" Jimmy jumped up and Goombario jumped up into his arms. Jimmy took his running start and the flyers followed him. From overhead, they could see that life returned to the land and the Chaos was now over. He then looked up and dove down on Toad Town, his face full of pride and happiness.
That's The end of Chapter 20. It's not the end, wait and see!
