Minion: A Few Hundred Drastic Changes Under King Kirby

Chapter Twenty-Five: Spikey Onions

Onions are not supposed to be spikey.

"He isn't in the throne room then WHERE IS HEEEE?" (They each had a particular knack for shrieking and making high-pitched noises during stress periods. Except for Haddle who used it more as some sort of battle cry.)

"Midori, you don't need to let out a scream that carries over the sea," Bandana Dee reminded. "He's probably in his room or something."

"He has an office room and a bedroom, you realise." Curse you, Haddle-logic!

"Yeah, then we'll check both," Bandana Dee replied. "I'm pretty sure Mitchizuka isn't going to get into any trouble. …I think. Anyways, he's just about the least of our concerns now. Er, let's…check the room first."

Haddle glared at him.

"The bedroom."

The reason why they were having a lot of trouble looking for Kirby was because when Dedede was still king, he was usually being a sloth back in the throne room. Kirby probably had his preferences and chose to stay elsewhere—well, that made sense. The throne room was kinda stuffy. Bandana Dee heard Kirby was going to renovate it sometime (throne rooms could be renovated that easily?) but he wasn't in charge of the renovation, so he didn't get a lot of details.

The door leading to the king's bedroom used to be painted red and blue, but upon Kirby's arrival, the painting group of the waddle dees (the Painters, they were often called) hurried to repaint it pink and darker pink.

Midori had the honour of knocking on the door, and after three knocks, Kirby swung the door open with a curious tilt of his head. "What is it?"

"He's here! Oh, thank the forsaken jelly!" Midori cried, leaping forward to try and hug (better term: glomp) Kirby. Unfortunately, the pink puffball took a simple sidestep and Midori flew and crashed into the bedroom. "AAAHHH! Oh, holy crap, I'm too young to die! Get—me—out—of—here!"

"He's fine if he can scream like that," Bandana Dee reassured. "And crap is so not holy, twit!" Ah, Bandana Dee's daily reminder.

"Wait, what the heck is this thing?"

"Is he poking around in your stuff?" Haddle squinted.

"It's fine. I don't have anything I need to keep a secret in there." Kirby glanced back at where Midori had fell—into a pile in some of his cushions—then momentarily paused. "Don't move around too much, Mr Scoroo, there's something kinda dangerous in there. Anyways, what did you need me for?"

"Well, for one, did you happen to hear a screaming waddle doo run by?"

"…I think so."

"Ah, that's great." Bandana Dee nodded. "We have a rough idea on where he could be. Secondly, has anyone informed you of the suspicious behaviour?"

Midori's cry pierced through the air once again. "Oh, what the heck! Is this a…"

The pink puffball frowned. "…'Suspicious behaviour'? Well, no."

"Well, you see, there's this one guy who—"

"EEEEE! It is one of THOSE THINGS OH MY GOSH HELP MEEEE!"

"We better help him," Kirby advised. "I think he just discovered our in-progress spikey-onion."

Of course, none of them understood what Kirby meant. "'Spikey onion'? 'In progress'?" Bandana Dee frowned.

"They're currently being examined by the scientists downstairs. I discovered it in one of the yards earlier today. There were three, so I sent two down for testing and kept one in my room." Kirby retreated back into his room and came out with a Midori with some sort of spikey white thing attached to the side of his face. "We're just going to pull it out. Like this." And then he yanked out the spikey…thing.

"IT HURTS! Oh my god Haddle if I'm bleeding I will kill myself," Midori sniffed.

"The spikey onion is weird, you see. I got it on my hand earlier and when I pulled it out my hand didn't bleed." Kirby gestured to his right stub. "They're examining that, too." Then he placed the spikey onion in a plastic container and turned his attention back to them. "Anyway, what was that you were saying?"

Defence Squad: When called to duty, they just float around the castle and wait for the attackers to come and that's when they defend the castle. (Hence the name.) Largest in population. They're usually sturdy and have an okay-ish attack, but usually aren't the quickest creatures around. (In fact, possibly the slowest.)
