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
