Luckily, Kirby is somehow able to see Escargoon for who he is, and offers him some small comfort. He is also able to convince his friends to help free him from its ghastly presence. The gang uses a torture machine located in the castle's basement in an attempt to expel the monster, which is the only way to free him from its clutches. Escargoon is eventually freed from its possession and Erasem threatens to posses someone else. Erasem swiftly floats out into town, but Kirby inhales it. The town now has no recollection of Kirby, so he spits it back out soon after. Before Kirby has the chance to react further, it disappears, exclaiming "Bye bye Kirby!" The monster is never seen again.
