Boo: Q doesn't own Kirby, HAL Laboratories, Nintendo.
Our story begins not too long ago. There once was a child who shone through many nightmares. This child's name was Kirby, and he was cute, open-minded, and brave. After solving the many calamities his home planet, Dreamland, faced, Kirby had sought for the vacation he deserved. After a fine, relaxing day, something odd occurred, and the hero's house had risen up from the ground. Upon waking up the next day, the child had merely noticed that his some beanstalk had risen up his house. Not far from his house, the Castle of Dreamland had risen, and so, Kirby investigates. A spider from the Upper World suddenly kidnaps the King of Dreamland, so Kirby chases after the kidnapper. After chasing the pesky spider, dodging obstacles in his path, a dark palace laid atop the beanstalk, where the king was held hostage. Kirby had slayed every foe in his way to get closer to the heart of this palace. It wouldn't be long until he'd reach the throne room, where he'll meet the kidnapper, Taranza. Taranza was a scholar who studied in sorcery and puppetry, and worked for his idol, Queen Sectonia. According to his queen, he was given a mission where he shall kidnap and control the monarch of the lower world, only to find out this task was enough than he bargained for. Taranza would then control the king and try to eliminate Kirby, however, he found out his plan has been foiled from the very beginning. Once realizing, he called upon Sectonia for guidance and power only to be flicked away like the bug that he is. Kirby fought the Queen and soon he would save the world yet again.
"So... what did you guys think of the story?" Bandanna Dee asks with excitement. The party applauds except one party member.
"LAME!" Susie bellowed. "What kind of ending was that, Bandanna Dee?"
"Well I didn't know how to end this story!" Bandanna Dee cried out.
"Well you could've went for..." Susie was thinking of something, but considering she wasn't there to really see the action, she sighed, and replied with an upset look.
"Is it true though?" Parasol Dee pondered. "Is there such thing as a world above ours?"
Before Bandanna Dee could respond, Susie stepped towards PD, suddenly changing her emotion from upset to nerdy. "Actually, I have discovered the remains of a large flower from that part of Popstar. I tested the flower's DNA, and surprisingly, the genetics of those remains were merged by another powerful victim. When our company's Mother Computer, Star Dream, analyzed it, our outcome was a bee-like specimen which specialized in swordplay and magic. It explained that-"
Just then, someone's stomach grumbled. Parasol Dee laughed with embarrassment. "Eh heh. I'm hungry. Magolor? Where do you keep your food again?"
"Uhh... the kitchen." Magolor answered. The two Waddle Dees grabbed the foods they were gonna eat. The group decided to eat some dinner as the Lor continued to fly towards Sacred Square. After supper all four of them deserved a well-rested nap until they head out to the deserted ancient area.
Meanwhile, down in the ground, Castle Dedede was attacked once again. A mage with yellow horns, hair as silky as cobweb, six hands and wore a dark green cape (with yellow stitches), red scarf, and a dark green button down uniform, busted into the castle. He knocked out foes who stood his way as he made his grand entrance towards the somewhat fixed throne room. He opened the doors and six Spear Waddle Dees protected the somber King Dedede. Similar to his first appearance to the King's eyes, he blasted five of the guards to sleep, while the other one cowers behind the throne.
"What do you want, Taranza?" King Dedede asked groggily.
"You have something I needed."
It took awhile for the King to realize what he's talking about, but then he remembered. A memory struck back to him as it only happened a couple of years ago. The sound of the gateway to another dimension shattered by his destructive hammer. He demanded his Waddle Dees (excluding Bandanna Dee) to go find remnants of the gateway, and so he has the remnants stored in his coat.
He checked it, making sure it was there (or rather not), but to his surprise, it's not there. He patted his left side of his coat, then the right, and then all around him. "Where'd I put it?" he thought. "Could it be that it fell when I blacked out?" He took a deep breath in and exhaled. "Stay calm Dedede, perhaps Meta Knight or even one of my Waddle Dees has the bag. I really hope it's either Meta Knight or Bandanna Dee."
"Well King? I know you have it so stop stalling around and give it to me!" He slams two of his fists on the ground and Dedede flinches from it.
"I - I d-don't have it."
"I'm sorry, did I mishear that?"
"N-No…"
Taranza turned his back from the King, clenched his fists, and sniffed. He turned around and rushed towards the King within a blink of an eye. "Listen here, if you don't want to comply, then I will have to put you back in the trance."
Dedede rolled his eyes and asked him, "And what if I didn't have it?"
The spider mage stood there and the king continued to recover from earlier. The mage couldn't answer the question, so he charged up for an attack and aimed at the King. Luckily, the Spear Waddle Dee behind the throne tackled the mage. It didn't too much though, for the mage violently threw the Waddle Dee to the other side of the throne room where the door was. Then, the mage frisked the King, desperately searching for the bag, but to no avail. "WHERE IS IT?!" he yelled.
"I-I"
"TELL ME!" He grabbed Dedede by the shirt, in which Dedede slapped the mage.
"I told you I don't know!" He stood up and grabbed his hammer. He shook a little bit, he knows he's not going to win this fight, but after he saw the Spear Waddle Dee try his very best to protect him, it gave him some determination to get the mage out of his castle. He stood in a defensive position while Taranza went for the offensive route.
For starters, Taranza began teleporting everywhere, leaving a webby residue all over the walls, ceiling, floor and carpet. The oversized king readied his hammer and expected anything near the spider. As the spider continued decorating the room, Dedede called his servants who quickly bursted out from the entrance. The doors flew from the impact of rushing workers and the left one flew directly at Taranza's stomach. It was very unexpected of him, for he didn't think that those weak and clumsy servants the king calls for were much stronger and courageous, but damn do they pack a good punch. The right door flew towards Dedede in which he swung his hammer from rest position to an upthrust. The projectile was hit by the hammer with full force, went up towards the ceiling, and hit the back of Taranza's head. The weight of the door and extreme force of the door caused Taranza to plummet to the ground, face-first. He lifted his face with two of his hands, and looked back at the obese penguin king. He lifted his hammer and laughed wholeheartedly with Waddle Dees cheering him on and on. He was taunting him. He looked back at the ground and closed his eyes.
"My queen, what ever shall I do?" he asked to himself.
A feminine voice was apparent in his mind. "Do whatever it takes to wipe out that King. Finish your quest by any means necessary."
"Yes your highness." Taranza sprung up from the ground and with sudden ease, stewed up a strong shadow ball and aimed at the king. He shot the dark projectile, only to have it bounced off from the majesty's wooden hammer.
"You're gonna have to try a little harder than that!"
Upset and disappointed, Taranza flew up near the ceiling and said only a couple of words. "Silkion Webtrapicus!" The puppeteer mage recited as purple balls formed on four of his palms. He threw one ball at four Waddle Dees and the ball opened up like a catching net seizing the helpless Waddle Dees in them. He continued this until it was only him and his foe.
On one side, the king readily clenched on his trusty hammer. On the other side, the spider mage flew above the sticky, webbed floor in disgust and hatred. Their eyes narrowed and it went like this for awhile. On the king's right, and the mage's left, the night sky hid behind the many pillars. The large moon shined through the battlefield, as the pillars interrupted the divine beauty that was the moonlight. It was there that the nostalgic feeling stalked behind Taranza's back. The scene was so reminiscent of it, for it was glued in the back of his mind. A moment he would never forget. The patterns of the throne room were cool in color, moon was in a closer position, and a bunch of knocked-out warriors around three members. Taranza hovered the same height as he did back then, but with his most trusted friend, Sectonia. Unlike what the legends had mentioned, Sectonia was no wasp-like creature, but with a similar body to that of Taranza's. Instead of green, it was a dark magenta on her uniform, and the two had hovered far from their foe. Their foe was the king of the Upper World, Sectonia's father. Unlike his daughter, he was consumed by the darkest of spirits and he had stared at him. He would fail to rid the father of his best friend, but Sectonia would soon kill her own father. Averting back to the present, he's not going to make the same mistakes as he did a long time ago. He clenched his fists and dashed towards the king, and the king ran towards him.
Q: Hello readers and followers to this story. I'm delighted to see that you guys are still hanging on to this story still. Don't worry, this story hasn't died out, and i'm just getting started. I'm really sorry for the very long HIATUS but, I really needed it. After final exams and school, there wasn't any time for me to work on this story. Not only that, I had recently worked on another story too (which probably lessens my reason why I didn't finish this... doesn't it?). But now, I'm going through summer break, so I've got lots of free time awaiting for me and this story. The only thing I am going to point out is that each of my chapters are going to be shorter than usual, probably ranging around 1,000 to 1,500 words. Until next time...
