Here's the next chapter. And note: I had difficulty making this chapter. As in, I tried my best not to make everyone overeact, but I still needed the characters to be taking Kirby's power seriously. So if it seems a little swayed, I'll just say I tried my best.
And it has been brought to my attention, *cough*crappyreviewIdeleted*cough* That some people may think that I think Kirby is weak. HE'S NOT. This story is showing just how awesome he is! *cough*alsoastupidideaIhad*cough*
PS, first part takes place in the main living room.
"Who dumped sand all over one of the training rooms?" Pit said.
"I don't know, but someone was training hard last night." Marth said. Master hand entered the room.
"As you all know, some of the losers of previous battles have already fought and will be brought back. The rest will finish their matches today. The contestants are, Marth vs Donkey Kong,"
"You lost once?" Link said.
"Ike isn't an easy opponent." Marth said.
"Good luck with King Kong." Link said.
"Meta Knight vs Bowser,"
"He also fought Ike." Marth said, referring to Meta Knight.
"Mario vs Falco, and Toon Link vs Ness."
"CRAP! AGAIN?!" Toon Link said. He didn't like always having to fight his best friend.
"Those are the match ups. Everyone hurry and enter your teleporter." Master hand said and teleported himself.
"Well that was sudden." Marth said.
"Good luck." Pit said.
"Thanks."
Later that day, Marth and Meta Knight had won their matches fairly easily. When it comes to getting a Smash Ball, speed and the ability to jump higher than your foe are vital to win.
Mario and Falco had a difficult match. Mario was winning until he side smashed a blast box that Crazy hand decided to have pop out of nowhere. Needless to say, Mario cursed Crazy hand out in Italian.
Toon Link and Ness fought their usual style. Having nothing but Smash Balls and anything that has to do with exploding or fire, items turned on. The battle was over when Toon Link threw a bomb at Ness when he was next to a blast box.
"Ending a match with a final smash is the best way to end one." Marth said.
"No, throwing a smart bomb at somebody who thought food was going to come out of a party ball but got a bunch bob-ombs instead while Crazy hand puts a blast box next to them, is best." Link said.
"That was really specific." Marth said. Link shrugged.
"Hey guys, Kirby just finished his match." Pit said as he walked over to the two swordsmen.
"Well?" Marth said.
"I have no idea what happened. The match was faster than Sonic and Kirby nearly broke the Safety System." Pit said. Link nearly choked on his hamburger.
"What?!" Marth exclaimed.
"I'm not kidding! In a split second I swear he looked murderous!" Pit said. Link finally regained his composure and said, "Are they replaying the match?" Pit nodded.
"But it's probably done by now. It went by really fast. King Dedede never had a chance." he said.
"Something is going on with Kirby." Link said.
"Hey guys!" Sonic said as he approached them.
"Ugh, hi Sonic." Marth said. He didn't really like the hedgehog.
"What's up?" Sonic asked.
"Nothing much. Just, something weird is going on with Kirby." Link said.
"Whatcha mean?"
"He's tougher than before. A lot tougher." Link said.
"Well, he's been training a lot lately. I see him in one of the training rooms most of the time now." Sonic said.
"Wait, was he the one that broke one of the sandbags?" Link asked.
"Yeah." Sonic said.
"Well that can't be right. Kirby can't just get this strong so fast and he's never really been violent." Link said.
"What did you know him well in Melee or something? You act like he was a good friend of yours who suddenly changed." Pit said.
"I was a good friend of his. In Melee that little puffball was always cheerful and happy." Link said.
Marth nodded. "Yeah, he wanted to be friends with everyone."
"Well then something's definitely not right." Pit said.
"Okay, I'll leave you guys and your crazy assumptions alone. Bye!" Sonic said and dashed off. But he came right back.
"Eh, if you guys are actually serious about this, I'd suggest asking Meta Knight. He knows a lot about Kirby, plus he's his mentor. Bye for real now!" Sonic said and actually left that time.
"I guess we should ask Meta Knight." Marth said.
"Maybe he does know something. He could be giving Kirby some kind of special training." Pit said.
"I guess." Link said.
Outside the mansion, Meta Knight was taking a leisurely stroll around the garden. "There he is." Meta Knight turned and saw Link, Pit, and Marth walk over. Looking up he said, "Yes?"
"Do you know if something's going on with Kirby?" Pit asked.
"What do you mean?" Meta Knight asked.
"I don't know, but something about Kirby seems different." Link said.
"He's acting more hostile than normal and he's gotten stronger." Marth stated simply.
"So? Is that strange?" Meta Knight said.
"Pretty much. I don't think ever beat the living daylights out of a sandbag before." Link said. Meta Knight jumped up and landed on a tall rock. He faced Link and was now eye-to-eye with him. Meta Knight didn't really like having to look up at somebody in a conversation.
"Beat the living daylights out of a sandbag. Kirby did?" he asked.
"Yeah, the janitor wasn't too happy about that." Pit said. Meta Knight sighed.
"You guys are just underestimating Kirby. He's a lot tougher than he looks you know."
"We know that, but you're missing the point. The fact is, I want to know why Kirby, that cute little puffball,"
Marth raised his eyebrow at Link when he said that.
"Is acting more hostile than he was in Melee. He used to just annoy everybody and act all friendly but now he's just, a jerk." Link finished.
"I think you're just overreacting, Link." Meta Knight stated. Link put his hand on his face and sighed.
"I guess you're-"
"GAAHH!" Just then, Sonic went flying over at them. Marth blocked the hedgehog with his sword just before Sonic rammed into him.
"Sonic, what the heck?" Marth said. Sonic stood up.
"Okay, whoever told me that Kirby was nice, is wrong." He said.
"Why would you say that?" Pit asked.
"All I did was wish him luck in the tournament. Next thing I know he punched me in the face."
"Poyo! Poy, yo!" Everyone looked in the direction Sonic came from and saw Kirby, waving his fist. Link turned to Meta Knight.
"What did I say?" Link said.
"Okay, you were right. He does seem to be acting more hostile. A lot more actually." Meta Knight said.
"Do you know what he said?" Sonic asked.
"He said he doesn't need your luck." Meta Knight replied. Sonic gulped.
"Yeah, Kirby is not nice anymore." Marth said. "I used to like him, actually."
"Alright. I'll watch Kirby's match tomorrow and see if I find anything." Meta Knight said.
"I heard the people from Melee will be fighting tomorrow. But Kirby's got another match today. One that isn't really part of the tournament but just a regular match." Pit said.
"When is his match?" Marth asked.
"Uh… In, 3 minutes." Pit said.
"Well let's hurry then! Come on guys!" Sonic said and dashed off. Everyone else shrugged and ran after the hedgehog.
Maybe I should've put that match in this chapter. *goes and reads it* Nope, nevermind. The next chapter has one of the longest fight scenes I've ever made. As well as a little suprise only if you've played Kirby's games. To be specific, Squeak Squad and Super Star Ultra.
