Here's chapter 7 so people who can't understand the blooper chapter have something to read. Toramizu's apparently stronger than he appears! Will the dragons be able to defeat a foe that can control water as easily as flipping the bird at a guy you don't like?


Toramizu charged at Meta Knight who side stepped out of the way. The liger impacted the wall head first and with a loud thump but was not bothered by it! It quickly turned around and shot a forceful stream of water at Kirby and pushed him to a wall. Kirby shook off the dizziness he got from the force only to be pounced on by the liger. Kirby bucked and hopped as the demon liger tightened its grip. Kirby bashed his back to a wall and fell out of the castle through the hole the impact created and landed in the moat. Meta Knight looked out from the hole and jumped back as a pillar of water sprang from the moat and took to the form of a serpentine dragon. Inside the water dragon was Kirby struggling to get out. Meta Knight was about to leap into action when the water dragon spun around until it became a waterspout. The force of the generated wind was so powerful it swept the blue dragon from his feet and into the waterspout.

When Fumu, Bun, and the two knights caught up to the dragons they saw the raging waterspout from outside the hole in the wall. "What the h(expletive) is that!?" Bun shouted as he pointed to a feline silhouette in the waterspout. It roared loudly before launching itself from the raging waterspout with its fangs bared and claws unsheathed. Blade intercepted the feline by swiping the big cat away with his sword. The liger landed on his feet and roared as Sword stabbed the liger's front left leg, it moved its leg in the way purely by chance otherwise his chest would have been stabbed instead. The sword did not break any bones or blood vessels so the liger wasn't even very bothered by the stab. Toramizu bit at Sword's helmet but the frail fangs would break if he bit down too hard so he flung the knight at Blade and they were both knocked into the waterspout. Ignoring the two children, Toramizu dashed into the waterspout.

The waterspout dissipated and left the four trapped inside to fall into the moat. Kirby looked through the hole to see Fumu and Bun looking down worriedly. The pink dragon then looked around for Meta Knight and saw him with Sword and Blade on his back. "Sir, do you think that crazy cat is still in the water?" Blade asked the blue dragon, shivering from the cold water. Meta Knight was about to fly off when the water sprang up in the shape of crocodile jaws, clamped down, and pulled the three knights under leaving Kirby surprised and scared. He took off into the air but was struck down by squirts of water pelting him at a speed that they felt like bullets. He fell back down into the water with a splash. "Kirby!" Fumu and Bun called out as Kirby didn't surface.

Under the water Kirby was in pain from the water spray, too much pain to move. He just sank until he reached the bottom of the moat. He had to surface soon or he'd drown but he couldn't find the energy to do so. The waterspout had really weakened him and the water bullets only made it worse. He heard a gargled chuff. Kirby looked up and saw the silhouettes of Meta Knight and his two apprentices presumably looking at him. He stood up, finally finding the energy to swim to the surface after remembering how devastated everyone would be if he didn't make it out of this fight, especially Fumu. He flapped his wings and sprang out from the water. He was bleeding, but not badly. Meta Knight, with Sword Knight and Blade Knight on his back, surfaced afterward. Fumu and Bun breathed sighs of relief to see Kirby was alright (somewhat). Kirby landed down beside the water and roared out to the liger. "Come and get me mother-poyo!" Kirby taunted. Toramizu jumped out and landed on the water. They glared at each other before springing to action.

Kirby managed to clamp his jaws on the liger's shoulders which the liger bit at his neck. The pink dragon pulled the liger away from him. The fangs were too frail to withstand the pressure and motion and snapped off the liger's jaw. Kirby threw Toramizu into the water and the liger created a great splash. Kirby readied himself as he barely dodged a water whip created from Toramizu. Kirby got up on his hind legs and motioned the water into creating a big wave which slammed the liger onto the castle's wall. Toramizu pushed back his own wave at Kirby but when the wave made contact it froze Kirby from his feet to his neck. He yelped as the big cat charged but Meta Knight tackled the cat away and unfroze Kirby with fire breath. It scorched his feet a little but at least he was free. Kirby charged to the liger as the liger charged at him. The two sprang up, Toramizu's claws were covered in an icy mist as Kirby's claws were flaming. They slashed at each other, landing back to back. They stood for a few seconds before Toramizu shrunk back to kitten size. Kirby looked to the cub as the cat looked back at him innocently. Meta Knight grabbed the cub by the scruff of its neck and looked at it. "That thing's dangerous, kill it!" Sword Knight suggested. Meta Knight's eyes were green while he was lost in thought before letting Toramizu go, the cub happily ran into Whispy Woods. Fumu and Bun crossed the drawbridge just in time to see what Meta Knight did. "Why'd you do that!?" Bun angrily asked the blue dragon. "I don't think it was really a bad cat, just don't say blue" The group watched as the liger turned back to wave a paw before disappearing into the woods.


That little cub will be back, and like Meta Knight said he isn't really a bad cat. Those were just a few of his techniques. I call them, in order, River Breath, Water Dragon, Waterspout, Crocodile Dunker, Water Bullet, Water Whip, Tide Push, Freezer (it's when he freezes his water techniques), and Aqua Claw. When he turns his water techniques into steam it's his Steamer, ice to water is his Melter, and steam/water vapor to water is his Condenser. He's really powerful and deadly since he can steal away the moisture from an area and cause droughts or ravage an area with storms and floods, but he would rather be friends then kill unless you say the "b" word. Until next chapter, R&R!
