Stage 2: Castle Lololo
In five seconds flat, Kirby flew over the drawbridge and arrived at the castle courtyard. He clambered off the Warp Star, which went back to Kabu(the keeper of the Warp Star) and headed to the entrance of the castle. Something was a little off about the castle. It didn't look exactly how Kirby remembered it. The castle was regular and didn't look like it had a face on it, unlike Dedede's. The entire castle was also purple and white. Did those demon beasts cause the castle to change its appearance as well? Kirby walked through the large wooden doors to the castle and definitely knew that he was in the wrong castle.
Tiff and Tuff snuck Kirby into Dedede's castle a couple of times and he knew that it did not have a bunch of spider webs and moth-eaten tapestries or rugs. Boxes were scattered around the floor. Everything looked abandoned as if no one has used the building in centuries. Several parts of the ceiling fell and collapsed columns lay on their sides, broken and worn down. Remarkably, the structure still held significantly well.
Kirby treaded carefully through the castle, searching for Tiff and Tuff if they probably landed here. A creeping sense took over him as if someone was watching him. Eerie whistling sounds from the broken windows took over the creaking of unhinging doors. The further Kirby went, the more jumpy he became. He looked behind him to make sure he wasn't being followed and every time he looked all he saw were rolls of bandages on the floor. Continuing to walk through the castle, Kirby tried not to freak out about anything spooky.
The attempt was for naught for when Kirby heard a soft sliding sound behind him, he flipped out. "POYO!" he shrieked and sprinted off at high-speed. He looked back once more and saw that the rolls of bandages were actually mumbies. He dared not to stop and inhale them as it was impossible. Ironically, he had the same problem with scarfies, only they are scarier. Kirby rounded several corners and ran for his life down the corridor. Stopping for a breather, he hid behind a suit of armor and waited to see if the mumbies were still chasing him. No rustling bandages were heard so Kirby assumed he lost them. He turned to go but stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a faint sliding noise and creepy giggling.
Kirby thought of going the way opposite of the noises but something about the giggling seemed... familiar. Treading slowly once more, he headed where he heard the sound last. Giggling rang throughout the halls again however, it sounded rather feminine than the last. Kirby was sure he heard these laughs before. His feet, still slightly aching from the trek through the forest, began to move faster when the laughing became nearer and more clearer. To Kirby's dismay, it suddenly stopped.
"I'm gonna get you!" A small voice said from Kirby's right. He whimpered and froze in fear. "You can't hide from me!" The voice said playfully. The sliding was coming nearer and nearer. What was coming towards him? A giant snake with a tiny voice? A slime monster? Kirby didn't want to wait and see but his feet were locked with anxiety. "I'm gonna get you!" The voice said, much nearer this time. Kirby shook all over as the sliding came closer and closer.
A large cube shape came at Kirby. He opened his mouth to scream but nothing came out. Instead, everything went in. On instinct, Kirby attempted to inhale block-looking shape and gain the Stone copy ability but an unpleasant aftertaste of moldy cardboard stamped itself on Kirby's tongue and prevented him from swallowing. He spat out the old box in disgust. "OW! Jeez! That's not part of the rules!" The voice said in annoyance and pain. Kirby looked at the figure that was pushing the box in surprise. A small blue ball with arms and legs, white gloves and shoes laid on the floor and rubbed the small bump that formed on his head where Kirby hit him.
Kirby's fear immediately flooded away when he set his eyes on the creature's familiar face. "K- Kirby? What are you doing here?" The creature asked. "Lololo! Poyo poyo Lalala?" Kirby asked excitedly. "Yeah, Lalala's here. In fact, you came right in the middle of our game." Lololo said cooly. "Poyo?" Kirby turned his head in confusion. "Yep! When Dedede told us to play our game somewhere else, we found this castle a long time ago and now we use it to play hide-and-go seek our way. We use boxes since there's so many around here. So how did you get here?" Lololo asked. Kirby explained to Lololo what had happened at the castle and at the forest. Everything Kirby said, only Lololo and Lalala could understand, and Lololo understood that he needed to help Kirby as much as he could.
"Wow! Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find my sister so we can go and stop Dedede!" Lololo said confidently. Kirby ran down the hall with Lololo floating beside him. They came to a large room with checkered tiled floor and staircases leading to two different places. "Lalala! The game's over! Kirby needs our help!" He called out. "You'll have to catch me first!" Lalala's voice echoed throughout the empty halls. "Oh great. Always play and no work. I'll try this way and you try that way." Lololo ordered and floated up the stairs to the left while Kirby dashed to the ones on the right. Though at separate places, the two searched for the same sliding sound of a box. It stopped in between places but that would not stop the pair.
The sound was getting closer to Lololo. He began to fly faster towards the sound. Heart thumping with adrenaline and excitement, Lololo prepared to grab out at his sister. He turned a corner furiously and BAM! He slammed right into Kirby. The two got back on their feet and looked around. The noise had stopped and several boxes surrounded the faded red carpet on the cracked checkered floor. "She's in one of these. C'mon. Let's try and find her." Lololo said. The two opened the boxes one by one and so far had no luck. Lalala was really good about hiding now that they couldn't hear her giggling. More boxes but no Lalala. Lololo groaned in frustration. "Lalala you better get out here right now! I'm not kidding! We don't have time for this!" He yelled out loud for Lalala to hear. "Yeah, we do, silly!" Lalala popped out from a box behind Kirby, causing him to jump.
The pink ball with the same features that Lololo had, save for the yellow bow, floated down next to Kirby. "It's nighttime and you know how much Kirby loves to sleep." She pointed out a nearby window. The moon barely began to rise from the horizon. At that moment, Kirby's feet gave way and his eyes began to droop. "Oh no Kirby! We gotta save Dreamland, remember!" Lololo tried to shake Kirby awake but it was too late. The exhausted pink star warrior fell into a deep sleep."Well, he has had a rough day. Let's put him in our room." Lololo said quietly to Lalala. "What happened to him anyway?" Lalala asked. "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when we get there." Lololo replied.
The two picked up Kirby and levitated to a room that had been cleaned free of any cobbwebs, bugs or dust. A small lamp on an oak desk lit up most of the room, spreading light on a four-poster canopy bed with red sheets and blankets. While they floated there, Lololo explained Kirby's story. The siblings placed Kirby gently on the bed and sat beside him. "Poor Kirby. He's been through so much. He needs to be up and running for tomorrow. Dreamland will not survive for a week." Lalala said with sympathy. Lololo put a hand to his chin in thought. "I wonder what Tiff and Tuff are doing now." he said cryptically.
-Earlier-
"YAAAAH!" Tuff and Tiff screamed in terror as they were spinning endlessly in the sky. The tornado began to die down. While it did, the siblings were lowered gently to the ground. They landed on the floor with a small bump as the tornado died away. The drawbridge rolled up and two guards stood at the gate. Tiff shook her head from dizziness and looked up at the sky. The cloud and the zeppelin began to float away. She continued to stare at the two until Tuff tugged at her arm. "Sis?" Tuff said nervously. "What is it?" Tiff asked in an annoyed tone and turned around. Tuff pointed to the large grinning penguin in front of them.
Unlike Tuff, Tiff stood up confidently. "What's the meaning of this, Dedede?! Dreamland will starve without its food! Where's my dad? Surely he has informed you about this!" She yelled impatiently. "Don't get your ponytail in a knot, girly! There's a feast for everyone who lives at the castle, your parents included! You should be happy." King Dedede said with arrogance and crossed his arms. "But what about Cappy Town?" Tuff asked, finally getting to his feet. "I'm sure they'll find somethin' to eat. They always do." Dedede shrugged off the topic and turned to leave. "Wait 'til Kirby gets here! He'll give back all the food and teach you a lesson!" Tiff exclaimed defiantly.
Dedede turned around and scoffed. "Yeah right! My new demon beasts Kracko and Kabula will keep Kirby away!" He said confidently and walked into the castle. "We need to get to Kirby." Tiff said worriedly. "There's Sword and Blade!" Tuff pointed out the two guards at the gate. The two jogged up to two stout knights, one in green armor and the other in blue. "Sword, Blade, where's Meta Knight?" Tiff asked urgently. "He's traveling outside of Popstar, possibly searching for more star warriors. He doesn't have a clue what has happened here." Blade, the knight in green, informed Tiff. "Just great. But can't you let us go to find Kirby?" Tuff asked with a hint of hope.
The two knights drew their swords and pointed them at the siblings menacingly. "Sorry, Tuff. Strict orders from the king. We can't let you pass!" Sword, the knight in blue, said with authority. Tiff looked at the two knights with confusion and betrayal. "Fine! We'll find a way out ourselves!" Tiff yelled in frustration. She turned around and headed back to the castle with a look of determination on her face. Then, she remembered about Kirby. He didn't land with us. Where did he go? What if he's in danger? Tiff thought worriedly. "Warp Star!" Tiff clasped her hands and cried out loud. "What are you doing sis? Kirby's not here. And we can't use the warp star." Tuff said, a little concerned if her sister might be a little crazy. "I called the Warp Star to Kirby. He might need it, wherever he is." Tiff kept her eyes to the sky as she searched for the twinkling star.
