Chapter Title: Moles And Lobsters

Kirby flew past the barrage of cannon fire with relative ease, proceeding to land on top of the Halberde, out of the sight of the cannons. The crew of the Halberde realized this, and withdrew the cannons, leaving no openings on the sides of the ship through which Kirby could infiltrate.
"Well, that was easy enough," joked Kirby, as he hopped off his skateboard. He wore his tan baseball cap in the reverse direction, but let some of his short, blond hair hang out the front. He wore a pumpkin-orange T-shirt with the symbol "SK8" on it and dark blue, baggy pants with a black-and- white stripe running down each leg.
"Now which way to the-" Kirby remarked as he turned around, running straight into three Mobile Shotzos, mobile cannon turrets with artificial intelligence, unlimited ammo, and bad attitudes. "Uh-oh, I've got company," he muttered as he turned back the other way and hopped on his skateboard as the Shotzos fired their cannons. Kirby swiveled his skateboard around the cannonballs, narrowly missing all three. He hopped off his skateboard and shot a barrage of fireballs at the three cannons, incinerating them all. He grabbed his skateboard again and headed for the nearest open doorway. As he walked through the doorway, he began exploring the hanger he had entered. He looked with marvel upon the many machines and vehicles docked within the large room.
"Wha-what's that sound?" Kirby wondered as a loud clanging filled the hanger. It sounded a lot like metallic footsteps hitting the metallic floor. Suddenly, a giant golden machine came rocketing out of the shadows, missing Kirby by only a few precious inches. It stopped about four yards away from him with a screeching halt. He could tell it was a lobster-like machine, only it was painted gold.
"Ha-ha-ha, so we meet again Kirby," a digital voice roared from the machine.
"Huh? Who are you?" Kirby asked, puzzled by the monster's knowledge of him.
"Awww, you don't remember your old pal, Heavy Mole? Of course not, seeing as you left me in that tunnel to degrade! Luckily, Metaknight found me and rebuilt me better than ever!" the large machine cheered.
"You still look short to me," Kirby teased. Heavy Mole had no legs, and ran on caterpillar treads when Kirby had last fought him.
"Oh, do I? Well, that's because," it paused. Steam began to shoot out of the smoke stacks on the hunched back of the machine, and with a loud scraping noise, it began to extend legs positioned near the back of its underbelly, which Kirby had not noticed before. In seconds it was twice the boy's size, even though it was hunched over. With a loud, mechanized cackle it blared, "that's because you didn't notice . . . I HAVE LEGS! Meet the new and improved Heavy Mole, now known as HEAVY LOBSTER!"
Kirby realized he was outsized and outgunned. He hastily jumped on his skateboard and rode away from Heavy Lobster. The monster machine began shooting out steam once again, and crouched into a rocket shape. A bright blue light shot out Heavy Lobster's thrusters as he rocketed towards Kirby.
"HEY KIIIRRRBYYY! I'm gaining on you!" Heavy Lobster bellowed as he rammed into Kirby's skateboard. Kirby was thrown against the monster's face, causing a sharp pain to fill his body.
"AHHH!" Kirby howled as the monster continued speeding forward.
"Feel that? It's called pain, like the kind you made me feel when you trashed me in the tunnel!" Heavy Lobster roared.
"No, I meant, AHHH! Look out for the wall!" Kirby reiterated. Heavy Lobster did not have enough time to react, and smashed straight into the metal wall of the hanger. The machine's massive body put a hole in the wall, sending the two combatants to the rear of the Halberde, under the thrusters. The crash left Heavy Lobster dazed and Kirby paralyzed.

"Captain Byrd, Heavy Lobster and Kirby are both near the rear thrusters," Tridint reported.
"Okay, Skullkor, activate the rear thrusters! We'll blow Kirby off the ship!" Captain Byrd ordered, smiling arrogantly.
"But sir, w-won't that destroy Heavy Lobster?" Skullkor worried.
"JUST DO AS I SAY! We can always rebuild Heavy Lobster if the need arises," Captain Byrd replied.
"Okay sir," Skullkor replied. He pulled the afterburner lever and punched in the code FIR3-G00D. The Halberde shook violently as the rear thrusters warmed up. With an enormous explosion, the thrusters activated, sending Kirby flying through the air and destroying Heavy Lobster.

Oh no! Is Kirby done for? Am I talking to myself here? Find out in the next chapter, coming soon!
NOTE: Again, for the sake of adding a past to this story, I made Heavy Lobster a revamped version of Heavy Mole, a boss from Kirby's Adventure. Kirby's Adventure is another game for an old system (NES) that you should buy just to play. It has good replay value for such an old system.
