Chapter 6
Dark Matter chuckled. Or, rather, a subsection of Dark Matter chuckled. The one-eyed fiend was looking at its prisoners huddled together in the dark room. "Heh," the black orb chuckled, "an escape plan? They surely realize that they are in a room with limitless boundaries! It is physically impossible to escape!" Dark Ribbon floated up beside Dark Matter.
"I wouldn't be so sure, master… these creatures have been fairly strong in the past. They were the ones who defeated O2, remember?"
"Ah, yes. So they did. Well, do you recall the 'surprise' I mentioned earlier, when we were talking about what to do if they cause trouble?"
"Yes, master."
Dark Matter continued. "Bring it here and release it inside the dark room. The creatures will be too surprised, too shocked, maybe even too DEAD, to escape!"
"Yes, master." Dark Ribbon flew off into the distance.
Meanwhile, in the dark room, Kirby, Waddle Dee, the king, and Adeleine were huddled together, trying to form a plan. Note I said 'trying'.
"Let's wait until they feed us, then beat up the guard and rush out the door!" King Dedede said.
"Who says they feed us through a door?" Adeleine responded. "They could feed us through the ceiling… or worse, since they hate us so much, they might just let us starve!"
"Let's fake insanity, and when they check on us, we smack them down and escape!" Waddle Dee seemed happy with his plan.
"You idiot, do you think they really care if we're insane?" Dedede growled. "And what about you, Kirby? Do you plan on helping?!"
"I'm thinking—would you all please SHUT UP?" Kirby yelled. Everyone immediately quieted. After a few moments of silence, he spoke up again. "I have an idea. We'll try and find the edges of the room. Maybe then, we can start looking for an exit. I'll float to the ceiling. Waddle Dee, you go to the left. King, to the right. Adeleine, paint an ally and have him go back that way, while you go forward. Meet back here as soon as you found a wall, or when you've been walking for about an hour." Thus, the four allies and the painting all traveled off in their respective directions.
Dark Matter chuckled again. The four creatures were hopelessly trying to find a wall. Then a thought struck him. There WAS a wall! Waddle Dee was heading right for it! His thoughts were interrupted as Dark Ribbon floated up to him, pulling behind her a very big box.
"Where should I put this, master?" she asked.
"Do you see where the small orange creature with no mouth is heading?'
"Yes."
"Put the surprise in his path."
"Yes, master."
Dark Ribbon flew inside the room. She scouted for Waddle Dee (a safe distance above the allies, of course) and placed the box about 200 feet in front of him. She flew out and went back to Dark Matter's side to watch the action.
Waddle Dee was tiring quickly. "I wonder if it's been an hour yet?" he muttered. Suddenly, a big box appeared in his field of vision. He ran toward it, thinking it was food of some sort. Just as Waddle Dee reached it, a shudder racked the box. Waddle Dee tentatively poked it. A growl emanated from the depths of the box. Waddle Dee shivered, and then, due to his intense curiosity, opened the lid.
Kirby was floating up toward the nonexistent ceiling, when an ear-piercing shriek came to him from Waddle Dee's direction. "Oh no! Waddle Dee!" Kirby deflated him self, fell to the ground, and ran in Waddle Dee's direction.
Dark Matter stared into the room. If he had a mouth, he would have been grinning. "Ribbon?" he asked.
"Yes, master?"
"All of the parts of the surprise are there, are they not?"
"Yes, master. They came from all over the galaxy. Some parts came from Ripple Star itself. And, of course, they were more than happy to serve you in order for… regeneration."
"Good."
Kirby reached Waddle Dee, only to find him surrounded by enemies from all over the galaxy. Whispy Woods, Lololo and Lalala, Kracko, Kaboola, Magman, Pix, HR-H, Miracle Matter, even O2. "AAH!" Kirby yelled. "I thought we defeated you all!"
"Dark Matter regenerated us," Magman said in a fiery hiss.
"We – want – revenge" HR-H said in a jerky mechanical voice.
"And this time…" Lololo began.
"…There is no escape!" Lalala finished.
Miracle Matter nodded in agreement. "Get your friends. We will fight you. Then, when you are too exhausted to fight any longer, we will KILL you! Get your allies NOW, or the Waddling One gets it!"
"Please, Kirby… save me…" Waddle Dee whimpered.
Kirby glanced around at the various enemies. He hesitated, and then nodded. "I guess… I have no choice." He walked off to find his friends.
