"...Very well then! I can get behind that! I'll follow your lead!" "And please... for both our sakes... don't keep me waitin'... being a villain has a very tight schedule for me to work with!"

"Ahaha! Perfect! And for our first trick? what idea's on your mind?"

"Why wait? we can join forces here and now! Marx an' Magolor! the dastardly duo! the powerful pair! the chaotic couple!" "...Okay, maybe not that last one... But my offer still stands!"

[nc] "Still a stupid dream! so my point still stands!"

"Geez, who's the red haired edgelord with a sword supposed to be?" "Like, okay... so what if you have a honestly boring sword, I can shoot a laser out of my mouth! idiot!"

[nc] "Yeah, and your dreams are AWFUL! like who wants to be better than Kirby!? that's right, NOBODY!"

[nc] "Last I checked, it being canon DOES... I got in your head and everything!"

[nc] "Pfft! your villain arc? didn't 'ya already do that when we were fighting in the Arena?"

[nc] "Brb, gonna go get my hands on Gigantes for no reason at all... totally..." "I mean their parts aren't THAT hard to find, right?"

{Attempted Planet-Scale Genocide, in other words... KILL 7 BILLION PEOPLE!}

*Oh hey! Marx is juggling a box of sorts! a very special box!*

"...Magolor lost his only friend? can't say I'm surprised." "But... she seems interesting, this Alie fellow...." "...Wonder if Jest knows anything new about her..."

"Hm, so Magolor finally showed his true colors... literally! his ship's all gray now!" *Marx laughed* "...I certainly wish him good luck and all... Popstar WAS in need of a new ruler anyways..."

*Ah! he actually didn't see that coming, barely any time to dodge either!* "Well, that's certainly a new one! I'll admit! So how about I show off a Marx original?" *He chuckled, suddenly his eyes went dark... and out dropped... bouncing balls? but they seem to be tracking where Jest is! not good!*

*And Marx strikes back with the power of ice! balls of 'em raining down!* "Think again! I'm you, you're me! anything you can do, I can perform with flying colors!"

"Hm, not a bad strategy..." *Marx vanished, now behind Jest, he suddenly fired a barrage of arrows at his counterpart with a laugh!* "But you left your back open!"

"Hmm, you certainly seem to have a new spin on things... But you can't beat a classic!" *Marx suddenly splits in two, opening his own black hole to suck up the incoming projectiles*

"...Hm, if anything I'd allow YOU to make the first move, you requested such a fight, it's only fair YOU start it..." *He smirked...* "̶̥͓͑͜D̵̙̐o̷̢̗̓̂ň̶̜͈̹'̶̡̹͋t̵͚̜̝́͝ ̷͕͎̖͋́ǩ̷̗͋̍ȩ̵̘͈̊̄ẽ̵̙̇͝p̵̧̠͒ ̷̻̗̓̑́m̸̻̻̒̀̈́e̸̢̳͛́̿ ̷̠͉̈́̐w̶̠̙̩͗ả̷̛͉̒į̴̹̼̽͝t̴̲͕̍̈͜i̴̼̬̥̒̒n̷̘͐g̶͓͂̓.̶̠͉͇̓.̷͈̹̓.̷̺͋̍̄ ̶̻͙͗f̵͍͌̇̄r̷̢̫̫̉͒͛ī̶͍̚ͅe̸̝͊̓ͅń̶̬̣͉ḑ̶̈͜.̸̻͛̔̆"̴̝͂̃͠ͅ

"Hmm... a clash between jesters of equal power... sounds like a fun time!" *Suddenly, once more he vanishes, reappearing in his true form and laughing as if nothing else mattered in the moment...* "So, what say you, friend? I'm all down for a brawl around 'ere!"

"Theeeeen, why did the first one explode in my face?" *Marx chuckled* "Don't tell me you were tryin' to actually start a duel with li'l 'ol me!"

"A fake out you say?" *The jester chuckled* "Okay! you got me... me, what's the big surprise, pal?"

*Hey wait... he's... gone?* "Good effort, I'll give 'ya that... but maybe make the fuses less obvious, pal." *Ack! he's behind Jest now!? teleportation is weird!*

*The jester caught it! hey wait, was this one lit? he had to check!*

"Ohoho! how wonderful!" *Marx laughed* "Can I have one?"

"Hey hey heeeeeeey..." *Oh, it's Marx!* "What'cha got there, pal?"

"..."

"Splendid! last I checked he was on a planet known as Popstar... if you wish to find him fast, I suggest looking there... Anythin' to stop this evil scoundrel, yeah?"

{Gonna be busy for a bit in like, an hour so I'm heading out so I won't be late...} {THEN I have to deal with something at like 4 or 5? but it won't be as long as what I have to do soon, so I'll be on and off for most of the rest of the day...}

"His name? Hm...." *Marx smirks behind his back before giving his new 'friend' the name of this so-called galactic menace...* "People across the galaxy know him... as 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐛𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬..."

"Why that's very simple my friend! he hides under a web of lies! he pretends to be everyone's friend, then strikes when the iron is hot, blames the great king for every little thing gone wrong, and rushes back home to eat all the food he's stolen, before takin' a nap!" "Truly, a sick menace he is!"

*"Ah! all according to plan," Marx thinks! Deciding to twist the lie further...* "Is him making the Sun and Moon fight one time a space crime in your optics? Or how about stealing EVERYONE'S food this one other time! He's the dastardliest space criminal alive! And get this! he's NEVER been caught!"

"But of course! for instance, I happened to meet this pink creature this one time, calls himself Kirby..." *Oh boy, he sure can't wait to twist up a lie about this puffball...* "I thought he was all buddy-buddy an' all... but then he turned out to be a reeeeeal jerk! a menace at that!"

"Ugh, tropes? booooring!" "But fine, in case you were wondering, I'm perfectly fine!"

"Funny... space clown?" *The jester chuckled... this Galaxy Man fellow was quite hilarious, and perhaps he'd be quite gullible as well...* "I'm Marx, I travel the universe to... make new friends! many friends even!"

*Suddenly, a visitor from outer space! some kinda... alien jester?* "Hey hey heeeeey space fella! And what are you doin' around here?"

"...You... feel bad about me?" "What kinda idiot feels bad for their rival?"

"...I'm so damn bored now..." "I bet I could chew up an entire cardboard box, and STILL be bored afterwards..."

"Oh TRUST me... so long as you don't try anything yourself, things will be fine..."

"...A friend, you say?" "I see. I'll have to keep that in mind it seems..." *Marx chuckled* "But for now, doing anything to you would just be a waste of time, so I'll let you be for now."

"...And you are supposed to be whom exactly?"

"Ugh... Stupid Tsuki... and that waddle dee and hamster too..." "Only reason SHE won was because of some help! it's no fair!" "And now she thinks we're rivals!? I was only sayin' that to get in her head!"

"Geez, no need to rub my loss in my face! jerk!" "I bet you don't even know what 'L bozo' means!"

*And with one final blow, a rather devastating one at that... the jester would screech out in pain... being flung all over the arena till he comes to a stop on the ground in the center... back to his base form...* -

[nc] "....Bandana, I hate you with all my heart..."

"Guilty as charged, pal!"

"Can't deny that! ahahaha!"

"Aww, I'm flattered to hear such!"

"Oh? a bet you say?" "Sure, since I already know I'm right!"

"Oh hey! I think that actually applies to you and not me! Gyahahaha!"

"AHAHAHA! STEALING BANDWAGONS IS PERFECT FOR INTERACTION BAIT!" "NOW ALL THE REPLIES ARE MINE!!!"
