A figure in gleaming white armor watches the scene. It seems to be something interesting enough.
"Looks like this place isn't as boring as it seems. Not a challenge either, though."

Divine Burden
She kind of lean down and fly down, putting her arms up in a shrugging motion as she land on her two feet near Kirby, a huge crater appearing at her feet !
"Huh,where do I put that apple ?" she says, contemplating spots. "I can't swallow it, it would probably be... weird."
Neuff grimaces.
"Okay then, come on ! Show me what ya got, ya creepy little bastard !"
-
"The sweetest, even ! She's always been adorable to us !" says Cinke, reminiscing. "She is what hold us together !"

The figure in white armor looks at Kirby and the others, and approaches them.
"Greetings, I am the Sentinel. And who are you?"
King of the Monsters
"Um, I'm Kirby?" Kirby flies over to Neuff. "Now that the act's dropped, I can handle the apple."

"He's gearing up for war."
Despite his understandable initial surprise at having the floor pulled out from under him, Thor nonetheless flies down and joins Neuff and Kirby, then lays a hand on the former's shoulder.
"He's not worth the effort, Neuff. Besides, we've already got what we came here for, so let him believe his trap successfully disposed of us for now and bring the Apple to Pseudo. We'll have more chances to deal with that bastard later."
"Heh, guess the one thing you Sisters can agree on is how much all of you love Deut, even if she's a tad naive."
The Apple Neuff holds suddenly crumbles into dust. The ship flies over the four, and Elmadan can be heard laughing through a speaker.
"Oh, how clever you are, you almost had me. However, the three of you made a glaring mistake. Greyface, for all of his egotism, would never keep the existence of Master Giygas a secret. And even if you hadn't met him before, you'd still know to call him Master Giygas! Yes, I called him Giygas when I talked to you lot, and if you'd really worked for Greyface, you would've corrected me. Besides, there's no way I'd ever give you the real Apple even if you did work for Greyface! Let the fat little pig come get it himself so that I'm not responsible in front of Master Giygas! Now then..."
Cannons (both regular and laser) emerge from the sides of the ship.
"How about I blast you to... well, you'll probably go to heaven."
He wastes no time in aiming the cannons at the three, shooting missiles and powerful laser beams at them.
Battle for the Apple of Enlightenment!

Kirby spins out of the way and returns fire with a barrage of Star Shots.

Divine Burden
"Well then..."
She leap through the air and try to step unto the missiles to get closer and closer, with some beams engulfing or exploding on her, though she put her arms up to reduce the damage. She leap in front of the ship and try to rock it with a mighty uppercut !
"Take that !" she says, before attempting to hit it again !

"Of course, but we're all pretty antisocial, bar Neuff. We need her to be naive, to help the team."

"Of course, it was a damn replica!"
After using Mjolnir to knock away any oncoming missiles and laser blasts, Thor flies towards the ship and attempts to smack it into the nearest cliff side with a swing of his hammer.
Nicole raises an eyebrow.
"Are you sure you don't mean 'optimistic'? Cuz there's a pretty big difference between naivety and optimism, y'know."
The Star Shots do little against the heavily armored ship, and Elmadan breaks out into laughter when he sees Thor and Neuff attempting to physically hit the ship.
"Seriously? What are they doing? I don't even need to put up a barrier for this. Honestly, who would-"
Neuff's uppercut and Thor's hammer strike then proceed to knock the ship into a nearby mountain, the ship spinning all the way due to Neuff's uppercut.

Kirby flies to intercept the ship and switches to HAMMER, attempting to spike it down into the ground.

Divine Burden
Neuff uses her power to fly over, with a trail of sparks behind her !
"Nice work, boiz !" she says, holding her thumb up before attempting to tear into the ship, to try and tear open a hole the size of Thor to get inside !
"Time to take the fight to them !" she says. "And teach them not to mess with us anymore ! Team Anti-Scarecrow is baaaack, baby !" yells Neuff with pride, raising her two arms together, and holding out her fingers to form a V-sign.
"Wow, I'm cool."

"No, naive. An Optimistic is a naive person in my book."

"There'll be plenty of time for boasting after we've retrieved the Apple, Neuff!"
Thor proceeds to fly through the hole in the ship, assuming Neuff managed to successfully create one, and land before presumably beginning the search for the real Apple of Enlightenment.
"Ever heard of the term cautiously optimistic before?"
The ship gets slammed down in the ground as well, now stuck there.
A hole is then torn into the side, but before Thor can fly through it, Captain Deepsea
◊ is suddenly standing before him, taking on a fabulous pose as he's firing a powerful PK Beam at him.
Meanwhile, Elmadan climbs through a broken window on top of the ship, then glares down at everyone as he takes off his sunglasses.
"You lot have messed with the wrong Mook!"
His eyes shine for a moment.
"Now I'll show you why I'm feared!"
Then the area starts to flash wildly, and the three better not stay in the glow. Because if they do, their bodies will start to harden and turn into pure, unmovable diamond.
Since Captain Deepsea is still in the ship, he is shielded from the blinding light of Fear of the Government, and therefore safe from its nigh-lethal effects.

Kirby switches to YO-YO and goes for a Gazer Spiral, rising up above and away from the light.

Neuff quickly cartwheel into another hole, out of sight ! She then attack right back up by teleporting against the sunglasse-wearing boss, going for a downward punch at him !
« Neuff punch ! »

Thor quickly stops in his tracks and begins spinning Mjolnir in front of him in order to block Deepsea's beam, though it manages to drive him back a good deal nonetheless, accidentally saving him from Elmadan's attack in the process.
"Oh, I do not have any time for this nonsense!"
In retaliation, he hurls Mjolnir several times at Deepsea, calling it back each time before firing a massive blast of lightning at him. He then flies to the top of the ship, grips his hammer with both hands, and attempts to nail Elmadan with a downwards strike.
Nicole fixes Cinke with an unamused look.
"Y'know, for a genius scientist, there's still a helluva lot you don't understand."

Deepsea, being a bit of a troll, teleports out of Mjolnir's way, though gets hit by the lightning and falls inside of the ship.
Elmadan looks up at Neuff, then raises his hands.
"Super Shield!"
A psychic barrier appears in front of him, one much sturdier than PK Shield. Sturdy enough to outright block Neuff's attack, and Thor's followup attack. Though the combined force really does a number on the barrier, and it shatters soon after.
Captain Deepsea then teleports in besides Elmadan, and the two unleash a combined PK Fire Ω at Thor and Neuff. The two sets of flames fueling each other, the attack becomes much more powerful than it normally would.
Due to focusing on Thor and Neuff though, they both seem to forget about Kirby...

Kirby tries to use ESP to sense the true location of the Apple of Enlightenment. If he succeeds, he will teleport over to the real apple-device and grab it.

Neuff is hit and kneel as the fire consumes her. She put her hands on the ground after a moment and then attempts to fill the floor wh th lightning to try to hit the two foes. Thor and Kirby better get out of the way though !
Afterwards, a burning Neuff leaps out and try to shoulder bash Captain Deepsea through the air before extinguishing herself in’ a spin, even if the attack did a number on her.
« Spout off water dammit ! »

Out of the literal blue, what appears to be a person-sized sphere of energy rockets towards Elmadan & Deepsea from behind, threatening to crash into them violently. Regardless of the attack hits, the light would make way to reveal Dominic.
Gritting his teeth, Thor is forced back by the combined PK Fire, the attack leaving him with several burns. Once Neuff launches her counterattack, however, he leaps back into the fray and attempts to headbutt Elmadan in the face. If successful, he'll then try to strike him in the gut with a swing of Mjolnir before greeting the newly-arrived Dominic with a nod.
"Cynical, much?"
Kirby should get a mental sting instead. The room that the Apple is in is protected with a psychic barrier. Makes sense to protect an artifact this valuable in every way possible.
They get surprised by the lightning though, and it appears to be pretty effective against the both of them, stunning them and allowing them to get hit by Neuff's shoulder bash (Captain Deepsea) and Thor's headbutt (Elmadan), before Dominic, as a sphere of light, knocks them off the ship before anything else can happen, making them fall on the ground. Elmadan needs a little time to get up, but Captain Deepsea gets up immediately and looks up.
"Your resistance is remarkable. However -WHIRR- you fail to understand the lengths we will go to in order to keep the Apple of Enlightenment safe. Master Giygas' wrath is unparalleled."
Elmadan manages to get up as well, then turns to look at the ship itself, glaring...
"And if we're going to have to experience that wrath..."
His eyes shine.
"Then at least we won't let you win!"

"Sounds like they might try to take it for themselves." Dominic warns the others. He flicks each hand and shoots a kinetic bolt at each of them. When they make contact with an object, they would expand into a person-shaped bubble of kinetic energy, likely pinning down & trapping whatever's inside.
Kirby has ESP on him. He teleports outside, to freedom, and mounts up on the Star Dragoon.
