Chapter 1
The Battle of
Overload Ocean

Kirby had finally made it to the end of Overload Ocean. And that could only mean one thing: the true enemy of the area was close. Kirby entered the end area and, like usual, was given an item by Bandana Dee. He choose the Poison ability before entering the door.

Kirby expected another giant robot or a least one that very strong. But what he saw when he entered the room moments before left him awestruck and left his scarlet blushing colored cheeks red. There, standing at the right side of the arena, was a robot like figure that Kirby could see was distinctly female. She was almost his height with long and beautiful magenta hair held by a almost noticeable gold clip.

Then, she turned around. This action only left him only more speechless. Although she didn't have a mouth, the rest of her face made up for it. She had two large completely cyan-colored eyes and blushed cheeks. She also sported a white v-neck suit with a collar that extended all the way up past her head, also forming a hood, with a long grey skirt below which vaguely resembled a boot shaped piece.

Then, she spoke. "Heehee", she giggled, which made Kirby's heart jump a bit. "I didn't expect to see a native all the way out here." To Kirby, she sounded like an angel.

"Excuse my manners", she started. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Susie, executive of assistant of the Haltmann Works Company."

"Um...H-Hi? M-Mine is...Kirby...", Kirby stuttered.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Kirby", Susie politely said. While Kirby's heart was still beating like a drum, it was strange to see a potential enemy be so polite.

"Just look at this planet", Susie said. "Clean air, fresh water...There is a wealth of natural resources to be found here."

"But all of you who live in this world take that wealth for granted", Susie said, as the tone of her voice went from polite to slightly serious as she looked down and shook her head.

"What?" Kirby said, slightly confused.

"What I'm saying is it's regrettable", Susie explained. "But at any rate, our Mechanizing Occupation Project is now under way. And you, and your people, have been identified as...obstacles."

Kirby's heart finally stopped beating as he grew upset. "ExCUSE me?!" Kirby squealed, mad at the fact that she would say such a thing.

"Yes...obstacles", she said again, probably just to irritate him. "And our most sincere condolences, and I'm sorry you had to come all this way, but I'm afraid..." she started.

"...YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!", she yelled before taking out a controller and pressing a button on it, summoning a giant robot suit. She jumped in and activated it.

Suddenly, Kirby didn't care about the butterflies in the stomach feeling he had at that point. He could clearly see she wasn't playing around. "Alright...", Kirby thought. "Here goes nothing!"

*Enter The Heat Of Battle!*

*FIGHT!*

Susie's mech suit jumped at Kirby, but he slid under it at the last second. After getting behind the mech suit, he threw some poison in the shape of a water ball at Susie, and it hit the mech.

"Why you-!" Susie squealed angrily as she turned around. Suddenly, the mech suit charged at Kirby with it's hands spinning. Kirby jumped, went behind it, and put a puddle of poison in the line of direction the suit was going when it would turn around.

Needless to say, this action worked, and puddle damaged the suit but not by much. "HA!" Susie laughed. "Child's play!"

Then, the mech hovered into the air and the drill on the bottom of it launched at Kirby and it hit him.

"Ow!" Kirby squealed. "Oh come on, that's playing dirty!" And he sealed those words by kicking the mech out of the air and on to the ground with, to Susie's surprise, an impressive amount of force.

Susie got up with a noticeable look of anger on her face. "That's it!" she exclaimed. She then jumped to the middle of the arena and drilled into a hole. This caused a giant platform to appear from the ground.

She then activated two androids on the back of the robo suit. She then launched them at Kirby. But he dodged them no problem. But one exploded right in front of him and sent him flying into a wall, causing a little blood to come out of his mouth.

"Are you trying to fight?" Susie taunted.

Kirby wiped the blood off his mouth and threw five poison orbs at Susie. She dodged four of the orbs but the fifth one knocked her off the platform. Despite this, she landed safely, and launched two more androids at Kirby.

However, he was smart enough to kick the android back at her because he knew what would happen if it made contact to anything.

The android exploded when it made contact with Susie, and she flew back a little. The other android exploded but Kirby avoided it.

"Stay still already!" shrieked Susie, as she launched two more androids at our hero of the stars. This time when they made contact with Kirby, they pushed him towards one of the walls at full speed. Then, at the last second, the pink puffball redirected the androids towards the source of their origin.

It seemed like the androids were very powerful, because when they hit Susie, her mech stopped responding.
"Huh?!" Susie cried. The mech's floating hands fell on the ground. As the whole suit exploded, Susie flew up into the air as she was screaming. Then she fell face first onto the ground.

*K.O!*

Kirby slowly walked up to Susie. "What now, Ms. I-Think-I'm-All-That?" he taunted.

Susie then got up slowly and dusted herself off. "I'd love to make up a comeback", she started. "But I have somewhere else to be." She giggled, took out her remote, and summoned an flying drone.

She grabbed on to it's handle and laughed (sorta evilly) as the drone took her away.

Kirby watched her leave. "Geez", he thought. "I've never seen a bad guy be so polite. And she was really determined to get rid of me. I better watch out for her...but..."

Suddenly, that butterfly feeling in his stomach came back. Why did that happen every time he thought of his new enemy? Was it possible...that he liked her? "No, no, no...that's ridiculous! Why would I like her? It's probably something I ate earlier."

And with that, he headed to the new area, Gigabyte Grounds.

"Ugh", Susie thought as she headed for the end area of Gigabyte Grounds. "I can't believe I got my butt handed to me by a native. I have to make sure #M-7110 doesn't fail! But..."

She felt something she never felt before. Something she never think she would feel period. ESPECIALLY for a native. Guilt. Guilt over trying to destroy him. Why would she feel something like that? Was it possible that...she felt sorry for him?

"No, no, no...that's absurd! Why would I feel sorry for a native? I probably feel guilty over not destroying him back there! That's all!"

And with that, she continued to the end of Gigabyte Grounds to prepare the company's security guard for Kirby's arrival...

I do NOT own Kirby. Kirby belongs to Nintendo.
