CHAPTER 28: GOOD NEWS?

"Everyone siy down and shut up!" shouted the teacher at the microphone on stage. It was Mabel and she looked overworked and tired. Everyone was tired, but not as much as mabel because she had to do a lot of paperwork.

"This auditorium has pretty sick acoustics," said Magolor with his hands behind his head resting. "We should start a band: Magolor and the Heartcrushers."

"I call bass!" said Tuff.

"SHH!" shushed Knuckle Joe. "I don't want o get in trouble tonight! I have a lot of homework after this!"

"Quiet!" roared Mabel.

Everyone finally shut their mouths.

"Good!" said Mabel. She immediately passed out and fell off the stage. Everyone screamed.

Mr. Curio and Rick rushed over to carry her to her room. "Get some ice!" cried Coo as he flew over.

"Dang… the teachers are overworking themselves to the point of past their limits," said Magolor. "They must be uber desperate…"

"What do you think she was gonna say?" asked Taranza.

"Well, this is a fine mesa…" muttered Meta Knight. He got up on stand and tapped the microphone. "Hello? Is this thing on?"

"Dude, that guy is smart with battle, but surely dumb with technology…" grumbled Magolor.

Meta Knight grabbed the microphone like he was going to sing a song or two. "Hello, class. This is your principal Meta Knight with an important announcement," said the swordsman. "Ms. Mabel was about to tell you all the news, but unfortunately she is very exhausted from all the work she had to forgo last night."

"This guy keep talkin' and talkin'," blahed Tuff.

"Tonight there has been a shocking discovery," said Meta Knight. The whole room got bustling with wonders and conclusion jumping.

"Who died?"

"Who is the murderer?"

"What assignments do we have to do now?"

"Where are the bad guys?"

"Are you trusting of us?"

Meta Knight roared into the microphone to everyone to shut up at once! "I will tell you the details of our recent findings!" Meta Knight received a clipboard from Coo.

Everyone in the auditorium gulped in unison, afraid of what Meta Knight's new news was abot.

"The squad that got deployed yesterday has discovered an enemy base. It is a large castle that is almost the same size as King Dedede's.

"Wow! Who built it so fast?" worried Pitch.

"The team is going to infiltrate the base tonight. Keep in mind that if there is to be a victory tonight, it won't mean much of anything unless we find out who's controlling the enemy units."

"The murderer…" mumbled Dedede under his breath, just loud enough for Taranza and Magolor to hear.

"We need to find the identity of their leader. Only then will everything all make better sense. You are dismissed. Go back to your quarters." Meta Knight waved his hand and everyone dispersed.

Dedede and Knuckle Joe waved to their friends and walked off. Before Dedede was around the corner, Magolor tapped him on the shoulder to signal him. "Hey, you need to meet me in classroom 2B after dinner."

"Why?" asked Dedede surprised to see how serious Magolor's face looked.

"I can't tell you now. Swear that you will be there."

"Okay…"

Magolor turned away and went back to his room with Taranza.

What did Magolor want with Dedede this time? Was it time once again to get into a fistfight? He wure hoped not…
