Super Smash Horror Stories

Story 1 of 8- Demonic Curry


It was a dark and stormy night in Cappy Town. The wind creaked with uncertainty, cracks of thunder sounded like a storm of bombs, and the rain pattered against the streets like a band of 134 drums. However, despite the atrocious weather, everybody seemed to be sleeping peacefully...That is, except for two citizens of Cappy Town: Kirby and Chef Kawasaki.


"So, Kirby, what'll it be before your big day at the Halloween Smash Tourney?" Kawasaki asked gleefully.

"Poyo." Kirby replied, as he was still incapable of learning any languages other than his own.

"I bet that means your favorite, right? The Super-Spicy Curry?"

"Poyo!" Kirby jumped up and down in excitement, for he loved Kawasaki's cooking. Nobody else in Cappy Town seemed to appreciate it quite like Kirby did.

"That's the cheer I know and love! One order of Super-Spicy Curry, coming up!"

However, elsewhere in Cappy Town, King Dedede was training for the Halloween Smash Tourney, with a little help from his minions.

"HA HA! I think I'm quite good at this, wouldn't you say, Escargoon?" King Dedede asked as he trained on the Waddle Dees.

"Yes, sire, but with all due respect, don't you think you're being a bit, um...rough?" Escargoon asked, worried about the Waddle Dees being the King's punching bags.

"Rough? HA! You think this is rough? I'm goin' easy on these Waddle-Pipsqueaks, to put it mildly!"

"Really? Who knew you'd actually be training hard? And what about Kirby?"

"Hey, this is my one chance to win! Those pesky Ice Climbers are finally gone, and that means I can FINALLY make it past Round 1! And, as for Kirby... I've already got him covered."

"Aw...I kinda liked the Ice Climbers...Wait, what'd you say about Kirby?"

"I said he's already outta the picture! What are ya', deaf?!" Dedede then proceeded to thoroughly whack Escargoon right on the head with his hammer.

"Ouch! But, how?"

"Let's just say his little Pre-Tourney meal may cause a lot of bellyachin'...and not just from him...Heh Heh..."

Anyway, back to Kawasaki...


"Alright, let's see...For the Super-Spicy Curry...Some Curry Powder, a bit of chopped cilantro, diced sweet potato, yellow onion, and...my famous Fiery-Red Peppers!" However, when Kawasaki looked for the peppers, they were nowhere to be seen. "Hmm, that's funny...where are the Fiery-Red Peppers? All that's here are these...purplish peppers, with a note on the back...'Sorry, Fiery Red Peppers are out of stock. Hope these'll do.'...Oh well, couldn't hurt, but I think a taste is in order first." Kawasaki then took a nibble of the Purple Pepper. On the inside, it was a gawkish shade of green. "I feel a bit funny..." Kawasaki said, and his eyes turned a solid, piercing white. His face wrinkled, and his mouth was crookedly twisted into a smile.

"HAHAHA...PERFECT...THESE'LL DO NICELY!" Kawasaki had been overtaken by the demonic pepper, and dumped the rest of them into the curry concoction. "KIRBY, AS WELL AS THE REST OF DREAM LAND, WILL BE IN FOR A SCARE...HUAHAHAHAHA!" However as quickly as he transformed, Kawasaki transformed back to normal, as well as losing all memories of dumping the peppers in.

"Eh. They're OK, but a bit tangy. Kirby'll eat it, though. He'll eat anything." Kawasaki then took the curry to Kirby, unable to remember the demonic properties of the peppers.

"Poyo, Poy-Poy Poyo." Kirby mumbled, sounding impatient.

"Yeah, Yeah...Here ya' go, Kirby!" Kawasaki slid a plate full of curry right over to Kirby, who devoured the entire thing, including the plate! "Wow! That good, huh?"

"Poyo! Poy-Po-Po-Poy!" Kirby said, and he jumped straight into the pot, eating all that was left.

"WHOA, KIRBY, SLOW DOWN!" But it was too late. Kirby had eaten the entire pot's worth of curry. "K-K-Kirby?" Kawasaki was frightened. Kirby had never, ever eaten that much of Kawasaki's cooking at once.

"Poyo?" Kirby felt his eyes turning white, with veins showing up within. He grew razor-sharp fangs, and his tongue changed into that of a serpent's. He wrinkled slightly, and his mouth jolted into the shape of a smile.

"KIRBY! Tiff's gonna be pissed off..." Kawasaki said, scared of what the new Demon Kirby might do.

"Finally, I have taken control..." The demon Kirby said eerily, sending an uncomfortable chill down Kawasaki's spine...

"Wait, WHAT?! How are you talking?!" Kawasaki yelled.

"Isn't it obvious? Remembers those Peppers you Planted in that Putrid Pot? Well, inside of those, were bits and pieces of an ancient demon beast, Devile! That's me. And now, we're here to destroy Kirby's reputation, alongside all of Cappy Town!"

"Destroy Cappy Town?" Kawasaki asked. "Why?"

"This town and I...have a troubled past...in fact, I was the first demon beast ever ordered in Cappy Town. But those crappy Cappies, they sent me back! No other demon beast had been sent back before that! And that's why I've loathed this place ever since...Which is why it's time to exact revenge! Starting with YOU!"

"NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOO!"


"Did you hear that, King?" Escargoon asked.

"Hear what?" King Dedede replied.

"It sounded like a scream of terror...should we be concerned?"

"Naw, it was probably Kirby. Little pipsqueak probably perished due to those putrid peppers." However, the screams only increased in number. Many rumblings, which were like mini-earthquakes, shook Cappy Town, and an explosion was heard within the vicinity of the town.

"Sire, I think something's gone wrong!"

"And I think you've been hallucinatin'! Those screams are probably just the others looking at the Kirby those peppers just killed!

However, Dedede couldn't have been more wrong. The demonic Kirby was on his way to the castle, chomping and slashing through the hordes of Bronto Burts at the king's gate.

"Die, Guards, Die! HAHAHAHA! Soon, that ol' Emperor Cappinus will regret the day he ever helped those cappies return me!" Devile, still posessing Kirby, broke through the king's door with an enormous sword, with the crooked smile still on his deranged face.

"SIRE, DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR THAT?! Some...maniac just broke open our door!" Escargoon yelled, terrified of whatever could've gotten in.

"I think you're right, Escargoon. Waddle Dee Troops, MOVE OUT! Guard the Throne! Guard the Residents of this here castle! GUARD ME!" Dedede was giving orders like he never had before, and was paranoid beyond belief, literally sweating a storm.

"It's no use, Cappinus! Soon you will join the rest of this town...inside my bottomless stomach!" Devile approached the throne room, making Dedede scream. But, Devile kept creeping into the throne room, ominously.

"I'm not Cappinus! I'm King Dedede! Leave my people be, for God's Sake!"

"Some king you are...I've eaten everything in this town...except you, 'king'."

"Sire, he's not fooling. Look!" Escargoon and Dedede saw the ruins of Cappy Town. No life forms were left except Devile and the dynamic duo.

"Listen here, demon beast from Kirby's stomach! I ain't no ordinary king! If my town goes down, I GO DOWN WITH IT!...but, Escargoon can go first. I've heard snails are pretty delectable!" Dedede then attempted to run off, before being grabbed by Devile Kirby's arm.

"Oh-ho no you don't! Just for that...you're going first!" The Possessed Kirby devoured the king in one fell swoop, burping out his hammer.

"You monster..." Escargoon whimpered.

"It's just you and me now, Snail Trail. What're you gonna do?"

"What am I gonna do?! I'm gonna avenge my king!" Escargoon let out a war cry, and ran after Devile with the former king's mallet.

"Hey, put that DOWN, you spineless snail! You're supposed to be MY meal!" However, Escargoon refused to listen. The two of them were running around the castle for a while...until Devile finally came to a stop.

"Why'd you stop?" Escargoon asked, as he attempted to screech to a halt. However, he was unable to. "Oh...I see. You're a tricky one- AGH!" Escargoon tripped right over the possessed puffball, leaving him out in the open for a devouring.

"HA! You miserable snail! You thought you could keep up with me?! Well, I'm always one step ahead! Now, hold still, heh heh...This won't hurt A BIT!"

"NO! Don't eat me! The french are lying! Snails aren't delicacies! They're disgusting!" However, nothing could stop this flesh-hungry demon. The Devile Kirby then ate Escargoon, leaving nobody alive in Cappy Town...nobody but Devile himself.

"Ah...that hits the spot...Now then, to rule what's left of this miserable kingdom...Hahaha...rise, my demonic minions...rise, and rebuild Cappy Town in my image!" Devile's minions of evil then rose from the underworld, and started roaming the remains of Cappy Town, lifelessly, aiming to rebuild Cappy Town into a new demonic sanctuary for all demonkind.

"Excellent...EXCELLENT! Now then, the invasion begins...NOW!" It was all over. Devile was trapped within Kirby's body, and he had successfully murdered all of Cappy Town. Deep inside, however, Devile couldn't help but wonder...where the people he ate had gone once they entered his belly...


Meanwhile, within Kirby's stomach...

"ACK! What is this place?!" Dedede asked, unable to comprehend the new dimension he was in.

"We must be in some sort of alternate universe within Kirby's stomach!" Meta Knight replied, who was appalled by the sight before him.

"What kind of alternate universe is designed around stomach acid?!" Escargoon yelled, before the stomach acid had dissolved the snail to naught but bones.

"AAAAAAHHH! Lemme outta here!" Dedede cried. "I don't wanna die!"

"I'm afraid this is our fate, Dedede...unless someone hits the reset button, this Smash Tourney...will be smaller than ever..." And with those last words, Meta Knight and the king were turned to bones by the stomach acid within Kirby's alternate universe.


FIN


Alright, that was the first of 8 stories for the new Halloween-Themed collection I'm making! Luckily, this one won't be like the last one (Those "Terror Tales" were a mistake I'll never make again...), as these fanfics will actually be understandable! Anyway, see you in the next story of the collection, titled "The Nightmare Star", which is the Mario portion of this collection.
