Chapter 3: Frog-Fried: Part 1
Tiff helped Nocturnal moved the last box inside his new house. "That should be everything, Thank you." Nocturnal said thankfully, he then turned to Kirby and Tuff, Who were both sitting on the couch that was included in the house. "Both of you, You seem ready to help out with anything. No wonder Kirby finds you as interesting."
"Kirby thinks everything is interesting the moment he sees it." Tuff replied. Kirby jumped off the couch and walked over to an empty box and looked inside before pulling it onto his head. Tuff laughed as Tiff and Nocturnal just sighed.
Some of the residents of Cappy Town were outside of Nocturnal's house gossiping. "That Nocturnal has a bit of a shady appearance, Don't you think?" Chief Bookem asked the others as the owlman stepped out to check the porch.
"I would see why anyone would mistake him for a monster, but I trust Tiff's words when he wanted to move to Cappy Town," The mayor said before noticing. "Oh, Look there!"
Nocturnal was pulling some dead branches out from his new lawn when he came upon a weak flower, Quickly setting the branches down; he went inside and came out with a flower pot. He then began the process of moving the wilted flower into the pot. "Now then, let's get some water for you." Nocturnal said to himself while carefully taking the plant inside. "Then it's on my window still to get some sun."
"I don't think a monster would have such a caring heart." Hana, the mayor's wife said smiling.
"Maybe I should cook him a free meal to welcome him!" Chef Kawasaki said thinking out loud before walking back to his restaurant.
"We should back off, we're probably making him uncomfortable." The Mayor said to the others. The group then disbanded as they returned to their day.
"There we go..." Nocturnal said sitting the potted plant on the window still. "Perfect."
"There's an extra room in the back, Did you decided what to do with it?" Tuff asked as the owlman walked over to his suitcase.
"Seems like a perfect place to set up my lab." Nocturnal said picking up his case and walking over to the room Tuff mention. He walked into the large room and set the suitcase in the center. He began to unlock the suitcase before opening it, suddenly; a series of lights flew out and began to land into different corners of the room, expanding into science equipment. The three looked around the now complete lab. "Now then, I'm going to get something to eat. I think I saw a restaurant a few blocks away..." He said clicking his beak in hunger.
"Wait till he tries Kawasaki's cooking." Tuff said chuckling.
"Two bowls of ramen to table one!" Chef Kawasaki pronounced as he left the kitchen. He walked over to the table where our heroes our sitting at before setting the bowls in front of Kirby and Nocturnal.
"You might want to wait for a glass of water." Tiff warned.
"No thanks, Food like this needs to be eaten while it's still hot." Nocturnal said picking up the chopsticks and snatch the first strand and placing it into his beak. He clenched.
"I tried to warn you, Kawasaki's cooking isn't very...eatable." Tiff said before Nocturnal looked at the bowl. A few of the cappies were outside waiting for his reaction. Kawasaki began to sweat bullets.
"This food..."
"Taste like rubber?" Tuff asked, Kawasaki's worried intensified.
"No...This food..." Nocturnal said closing his eyes. "Is possibly the greatest dish ever created!"
...
"WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?" Everyone's reaction could've been heard from orbit!
"The meat is overly cooked to a degree that makes it flavor akin to the bora boar of VolcanicStar, And the vegetables have been aged like wine. And the tangy taste is just like mother's cricket cripes that she made for me when I was a hatchling..." Nocturnal said causing everyone's jaws to literally hit the floor. "This dish deserves a five star rating!"
Kawasaki just stood there for a minute before his eyes began to water. "This...Is the most happiest day of my entire life." The chef said crying. "Somebody other then Kirby likes my cooking!"
"I don't believe it!" Bookem said in shock. "He actually like's Kawasaki's cooking!" The group then watched Nocturnal and Kirby eat in perfect sync.
"I guess Kirby really DID got his appetite from his father." Tiff said as she and Tuff laughed.
King Dedede waited impatiently as the teleporter downloaded his newly ordered monster. A red two legged toad was sleeping in the middle of the portal when the download was complete.
"Wha- I paid a monthly rental service for a red toad!?" Dedede shouted at the monitor.
"This is Pyribbit, Our new fire based monster! Pyribbit can burn up to seven-trillion degrees, Not even Kirby can inhale it flames without getting burnt to a crisp." Susie answered as Escargoon walked up to the toad.
"Seems like a pushover to me..." The snail said before jabbing a finger onto it's face, that woke it up, and it angrily torched the snail. Escargoon fell flat as the fire frog hopped towards the throne room exit.
"Oops, My bad! I should've mention that it hates it when people disturbs it's nap." Susie said giggling. Dedede got up and chased after the frog just in time to see it leap off the castle walls and towards the volcano.
"Where's it going?" Dedede called to Susie.
"Frogs need moisture to survive, Pyribbit is the exact opposite, So he's going to the exact opposite of a nice, cool, pond..." Susie hinted as Dedede watched the toad hop closer to the volcano that overlooked Dreamland.
"What's that?" Tiff said as she notice a column of smoke raising from the distance.
Nocturnal had walked out of the restaurant with his box of leftovers. Kirby let out a worried sound as the smoke accumulated into the sky.
