Chapter Twelve: Fight for Freedom

Kirby, a little pink walking ball, was lounging around in the shade of a tree. He leaned back and gave off a relieving sigh, "It's good to not have to save the universe. I can just sit here and watch the clouds go by." The clouds were ominous and began to grow with intense blackness. Kirby got to his feet, "That was kind of a short vacation." The Clouds began to swirl in a spiral increasingly growing and rapidly spinning until they burst open in the middle with an unnatural, shadowy glow. From the vortex came two hands.

"Sorry to disturb your vacation little puffball," said the Master Hand, "but I simply must destroy you and grind your body into pâté."

"Well, well, well, look what the Waddle Dee dragged in. I thought I pounded you enough that you would never dare mess with Kirby." He turned to the other hand, "Who's the friend, your hot date?"

The Crazy Hand twitched with fury, "You pile of pink slime. You dare insult the Crazy Hand?!?!"

Kirby stared at both hands, "Well if your dating the Master Hand I guess you are crazy. At least you two look like a perfect pair…a perfect pair of losers."

The Master Hand shook himself into a fist, "HE IS NOT MY DATE HE IS MY BROTHER!"

"Date, brother, whatever you say. You both are pathetic. You should of learned from our last battles that you don't mess with Kirby!"

The Crazy had Pointed his fingers like a gun at Kirby's head, "I shall destroy you myself right here, puffball!" Kirby turned into a rock just as the Crazy hand fired a shot, "What the?!?!" He fired three more blasts and they didn't even make Kirby twitch.

Kirby came out of rock mode and danced around the Crazy Hand, "Kirby is impenetrable when in rock mode." From above, the Master Hand came striking down at full force. Kirby dodged out of harm's way. The Crazy Hand began to wiggle his fingers. The paused for second, and then lasers came out targeting Kirby. Kirby began to float into the air. When he was over the Crazy Hand, he let out a fury of kicks. The Crazy Hand stopped with the lasers and began to shake his fingers; they were giving off sparks. The Master Hand went into laser mode.

The Crazy Hand shouted to the Master Hand, "C'mon, hurry it up. We can crush him if we combine." Kirby used his time wisely and released his most powerful smashes on the Crazy Hand. The Master Hand finished using his lasers and they began to concentrate. Kirby floated above them as the caste a sleeps spell and began to clap. Kirby turned into a 500-pound weight crashing down on top of the Master Hand. Kirby came out of rock mode and reached into his gut. He let out a large battle cry as he jumped into the air. From his gut he pulled out the final cutter, a laser sword with long-range powers. He came crashing down on the Master Hand with the sword, and the impact sent a visible blue shockwave that hit the Crazy Hand. He then proceeded to run toward the crazy hand full force. The speed Kirby was running at started to create a fire surrounding him. He turned himself into a ball, creating a meteor effect, smashing into the Crazy Hand, causing him to burn. "You won't last long with moves like that, puffball. He grabbed Kirby and began to squeeze the like out of him. The Crazy Hand slammed him into the ground as the Master Hand smashed into him with his fingers straight right into Kirby's side. Kirby held his gut in anguish, knowing the end was drawing near. He looked to his right to see something sparkle in the grass. He touched it, and then proceeded to pick it up. Kirby jumped out and then smacked the Crazy Hand with it. Kirby then began to charge it up right at the Master Hand.

The Master Hand slowly floated away from Kirby, "Not that. Please, not that…"

Kirby's eyes sharpened onto the Master Hand, "Eat star rod, glove boy!" Kirby released the star rod's power causing a large star to be sent flying toward the Master Hand. When it hit, it hit him hard, causing him to fall down. The Crazy Hand was slowly creeping up on Kirby. Kirby did not notice it as he looked down at his star rod, "I don't need this to beat you." He hurled the rod backwards, hitting the Crazy Hand. The Crazy Hand fell into spasms, sending Kirby flying. He landed next to the Master Hand. The Master Hand recoiled his pointer finger, getting ready to flick Kirby with full force. Kirby shuddered as he went to press a red button attached to his wrist, "I cannot beat them…at least….by…my..self…" Kirby was flicked knocking most of his energy.
