A/N: I'm back from my one week of original story writing! I'm probably not gonna do another one of those for a while, but you can probably expect another one in about a month. This chapter is mainly inspired by a review that one Cosmicgiraffe gave me that said I should give a little background on the KB9000 robot. Enjoy!
The first time Kirby was on the loose killing people, the public had no idea what to think. When first looked at, Kirby appeared to be a cute pink blob of fun. But when examined more closely, he was a terrifying pink blob of death with an appetite for flesh.
But after the initial shock of a pink terrorist that eats people and steals their powers wore off, one emotion rose above all else: fear. Kirby was a menace with abilities greater than any seen before. He had the power to take down the entire economy and build it back up in his image. He would probably devote science to making genetic copies of himself to act as police.
King Dedede was the ruler at the time of Kirby's first killing streak, and he decided on a way to catch Kirby. He chose the greatest soldiers in his army. Brave warriors like Wispy Woods, Kracko, and the greatest of all, Meta Knight. This was the starting of the High Generals. Dedede deployed all of his High Generals to different parts of the kingdom to stop Kirby. Kirby defeated all of them with ease. Finally, when all of Dedede's High Generals had tried and failed, Kirby went after King Dedede himself. Dedede survived the encounter, but just barely. This went on for years. Kirby would go on a rampage, the High Generals would try to stop him, Kirby would fight King Dedede and almost kill him.
While this was all happening, the scientists of the kingdom were analyzing Kirby. Occasionally they would find a bit of his DNA and study it for clues on how to beat him. They came up with the following things.
Kirby can eat and digest anything.
Kirby can absorb any extraordinary powers somebody has.
Kirby cannot absorb non-living material.
Kirby's flesh is incredibly malleable and can be stretched into almost any shape.
Kirby's digestive system acts immediately whenever Kirby eats something and turns the matter into waste by converting it into an incredibly thin gas.
Kirby's stomach is non-existent. His body is made up entirely of just one muscle. The place where his stomach should be is an empty pit that can be filled up with air to make Kirby lighter than the atmosphere.
Kirby is virtually indestructible and can withstand any blast or amount of force.
These facts were probably the most terrifying things that the scientists had ever laid eyes on. But then those very eyes rested on fact number 3. If Kirby couldn't absorb living material, then why not make something non-living? And what was more non-living than metal.
So the scientists set out to make a robot that could destroy Kirby. But when posed with the stop of fact number 7, the scientists thought of a brilliant idea to include in their robot. They would have their robot not only keep Kirby from absorbing it, but also cancel out any power he had previously had. Then all the robot would need to do is turn Kirby inside out and put a bomb inside of him. This would create a vortex of Kirby both exploding and trying to absorb the bomb at the same time, thus making Kirby continue to fold in on himself. The plot was genius and devious at the same time.
"Boy," said one of the scientists laughing his head off "This'll really bust Kirby up huh guys?"
"That's an understatement," one of his comrades said, also cracking up. "A very big understatement.
The scientists, spurred by their own genius decided to throw themselves a party, where some unmentionable things occured. But what the first scientist had said stuck in their minds (even though most of the night was completely forgotten by the next day). So when the scientists started work on their machine the next day, they christened their invention with a name that would bust Kirby up. A Kirby Buster if you will.
It took many tries to get the robot right. The first draft was just a big hunk of metal that walked around. The scientists were still working on the reverser that cancelled out Kirby's powers, but it was a start. So they tried again and again. Some worked okay, others straight up exploded when they were turned on, but they kept trying.
The scientists marked each of their different trys with a number. The KB1, the KB432, the KB5,641, and more. After the KB8,999, the scientists decided that they would just call the final product the KB9,000 (even though technically they would not get it right until try number 10,464).
Then finally the day came when the scientists had not only perfected the design for the robot, but also the reverser that would keep Kirby from absorbing anything. After installing the reverser into the robot, the scientists thought of what they would do.
"We should tell King Dedede that we've made this."
"No way, let's save it for a fallback, in case they don't need it to catch him."
"Alright, but we'll tell him if there's no other option."
"Right."
The scientists didn't know that it would be no more than four days until Kirby went on another rampage. And that day, the release of the KB9000 happened. True their magnificent creation was only being used for information gathering, but it was a start. It was definitely a start.
A/N: Next time on The Ink Ninja writes weird stuff about video games (the title's a work in progress), I have a Temple Run FanFic coming out (this is also inspired by a review). It should be out by Wednesday.
