Day 25: Butterfly

Flames dance upon the palms of the Reawakened Wizard, warmth radiating in their steady glow. Fear not this reaper, ‘less you decide to harm the land he now oversees and protects. In which case? Its far too late for you to run.

I wanna know more about ur aus for magalor

OH THIS IS A LOADED QUESTION. I don't think I can explain EVERY AU, but i can explain a few of them (I picked 5 of them), cause I have. So Many.

(Also my friend @observerkaine helped me with most of these! I'm gonna put every AU after #1 under a read more)

AU #1- The Wild Wizard; Beast Pack Magolor

This AU is fairly self explanatory! I just wanted to put Magolor in KATFL. It has a few routes

the basic one is that he sees the portal, goes to investigate, is yoinked through, and decides he's gonna try and infiltrate the Beast Pack for information, only to never return. He only has one boss fight, and it's right before Leon, as a sort of last ditch effort to get Kirby to stand down. He has a Phantom form too, which I dubbed "The Wild Illusion".

The second version involves Fecto Forgo seeing that Magolor's body seems to be able to handle powers similar to their own, and so they plan to use his body as a replacement rather than Leon's

The third version of the AU involves Dedede and Magolor showing up in the Forgotten Land at the same time and both getting controlled. His first appearance is within the first half of the game, his second appearance is during the Forgo Dedede fight. He's inactive in phase 1, but during phase 2 he's creating portals that Dedede runs and exits through (like that one attack in the Chaos Elfilis fight). Once Dedede is down, Magolor fights by himself. In this second fight, to parallel Dedede's mask, Magolor has a similarly appearing replica of the Master Crown

AU #2- The Reawakened Wizard; Morpholor

This AU is a sort of aftermath to the True Arena in RTDLDX. In a similar vein to why Morpho claimed Galacta, one of the Butterflies found its way to Magolor's tormented soul and gave him a chance to be freed from his eternal torture at the claws of the Master Crown.

This story follow the logic of Morpho actually being Galacta to some extent, or at least, the butterfly that BECOMES Morpho now takes on a form like that of Galacta Knight.

Since this is a True Arena sequel, Kirby and the Dream Team/Popstar Four think Magolor is dead, up until Forgotten Land, where the butterfly that comes to claim Fecto Forgo is actually Magolor's butterfly, rather than Morpho's. Thus Kirby finds out that Magolor didn't (fully) die.

AU #3- Magol0r/HoloMags

Based loosely on the idea that the Lor's AI is a copy of/upload of Neichel's mind/soul, I thought about "well what if Magolor died at the end of RTDL, and the Lor took. Some pity on him and basically did that to him." He acts as a secondary program within the Lor's computer, although he sees himself more as a virus to her after a while. He also can't physically leave the Lor, since his entire mind is contained within it.

At some point the Dream Team find out and Dedede offers to make him a robot body, since he knows how to make robots (he has so many robots of himself I have to respect it). It still doesn't feel "right" though. Good for them, one of the few friends Magolor made pre-RTDL just so happens to have absorbed a Nova and can grant wishes if he so pleases.

So Marx ends up using his wish granting abilities to make Magolor's artificial body more organic. Maybe not completely, that would take a lot of energy, but it would have taken more energy to create a fully organic body from nothing.

"AU" #4- Shadow Magolor

Less of an AU, more of an interpretation of a Mirror Magolor. He has a lot of fun design details you'd only pick up by putting him side by side with my regular Magolor.

There isn't much on him yet, I like to imagine that when he isn't being the world's biggest pathological liar (somehow worse than canon Magolor ever was), he is tired and cynical all of the time.

The only story I've done with him is a "mirror clone replacing the original" idea. It didn't last very long cause I got distracted with other AUs and ideas, but the idea was there.

AU #5- Parasite Crown

So in this AU, a piece of the crown crawls into Magolor's body and uses his body to spread darkness throughout dimensions, all while pretending to be Magolor. Not seen is that there is gold vines clamping Magolor's mouth shut so he can't spit the crown up. It's quite literally living in him, gold entangled with his inner workings, the crown resting upon his heart, using him in a way much more intimately than the mere possession had been

The only relevant universe he visits is Kirby Clash, in which the Crown still plants the Gem Apple tree, but since the crown is still alive and this is an act of maliciousness, the apples end up poisoning the citizens of the Dream Kingdom, leaving behind a ghost town. And the Crown takes Magolor to so many worlds, forcing him to poison these other versions of his friends over and over

Eventually it takes him back to HIS Dream Land, and the only reason anyone knows he's coming, is that he still has a weak psychic link with Kirby (it happened during the final boss of RTDL, due to the Crown's connections to Dark Matter, and how Dark Matter and Kirby are at least loosely connected to Void, or just each other honestly, and Magolor was possessed by the Crown, he was able to communicate with Kirby long enough to tell them to end him). He manages to warn them before they can see him like this.

The Crown ends up leaving Magolor's body to go after one of the Dream Team as a new vessel, but Magolor ends up using all of his remaining energy (he doesn't die) to shoot it with a Magolor Cannon, and then the team end up destroying it through numerous means, one of which being Dedede's hammer.

From that point it's just Magolor recovery time. He was gone much longer in this AU than I imagine he was in canon

But uh. Ya! That's all the AUs I can think of to talk about here. The timeloop AU is it's own insane thing I cannot make a small description of.

I decided to lump a bunch of my Magolor doodles into a single canvas since I kept making new canvases and realized that wasn't productive!! So what we got here is

-A front and side view of my Magolor design -2 drawings of Magolor based on SU quotes -2 palette challenges -That one boss concept art for the GCN game that's probably what ended up turning into Magolor (plus kirby is there too) -Art for my Morpholor AU, which basically show how that ended up happening anyways (it's a post True Arena AU)
