Chapter 8: Bio-Lab Breakdown
Pikachu and I were almost done deciding on our signature SP Attack, when the computer announced, "Destination Governmental Bio-Lab. We will arrive in ten minutes." "It's about time!" I snorted. "Kirby, do you think this one is good?" Pikachu asked. "Yeah! It looks like it can cause mass destruction," I replied. "Okay, the Electric Hurricane it is!" Pikachu exclaimed. The SPA list we received was bigger than we imagined! There were around fifty of them and some were particular character-only! We saw the two we used earlier, the Character Blaster and the Spike Smash, but they were any-character accessible. I tried finding a Kirby-exclusive SPA, but to no avail. I really should try and create one sometime. We did find a cool Pikachu-exclusive, though. It's called the Electric Hurricane. The non-Pikachu takes the Pikachu's hands and starts spinning him in the air. Then, the Pikachu charges up an electric current, causing damage to anything it touches, kind of like an electrical buzzsaw.
"Hey Pikachu," I called. "Yeah?" he asked. "If EP Mario and Bowser were at the Mushroom Kingdom, do you think a Samus clone will be here?" I said. "Maybe. But those two being in that area could've been a coincidence," Pikachu stated. "Yeah, but still, IF there's a Samus clone up here, we'd better equip ourselves properly," I replied. I walked over to the item vendor and got us two small guns. "Hey..." Pikachu said, "aren't these Fox and Falco's guns?" "Yeah, but they started to mass-produce them awhile ago; I bought one of each a while back." I stated. "Oh......cool!" Pikachu said. "Destination: Governmental Bio-Lab. We will arrive in two minutes," the computer piped in.
"Good. Computer, switch to manual control," I said as I walked over to the cockpit. I jumped into the driver's seat, and quickly veered right towards a docking bay. "Uh, Kirby..." Pikachu started. "What?" I asked. "The Mushroom Kingdom is on fire!!" Pikachu yelled. There was silence for a few moments, until I said, "Pikachu, that was four chapter ago." "Oh...oops!" Pikachu smiled. I sighed.
I quickly brought the ship into the docking bay and slowly put the ship down. "Man, this place is a junk heap!" Pikachu said. "Well, it's been abandoned for quite awhile," I replied. Once we left the WarpStar, we started searching the docking bay. Most of the bay was busted up, with wall panels on the floor, broken wires, and smashed glass. There were only a few lights still on. "Dang! I wonder who did all of this," I exclaimed. "Yeah, well, I found something that looks like a doorway," Pikachu called from across the room. When I rejoined Pikachu, I said, "I'll go first. There may be someone waiting to ambush us in the next corridor." "Pfffft! Yeah right!" Pikachu snorted. I opened the door, looked in all directions, and slowly stepped out. "All clear!" I sighed. "Man, you're too paranoid," Pikachu snorted again as he came through the doorway. I looked back at him and said, "You never know." Pikachu rolled his eyes. "We'd better stay moving," I said, "so no one will be able to ambush us." "Riiiight..." Pikachu said sarcastically.
The hall we had entered headed both ways, curving around, as if to connect at a point. On the outer wall of the hallway were big gray doors, each labeled something different. "Let's go left," Pikachu said as he started off in that direction. "Okay," I said as I started after him.
We passed many doors, each with an odd name, but one particular one caught my eye. The door was labeled 'Data Room', and looked a lot newer than the other doors, as if someone had been inside recently. "Hey Pikachu, let's check this room out," I said, "there may be something important in there." "Okay," Pikachu replied, "but how do we get in? There's no doorknob, hand verification screen, nothing." "Hmm..." I said, "in Metroid Fusion, Samus went from room to room by shooting the doors open." "Okay then!" Pikachu exclaimed. He quickly pulled out his gun (quick draw style), and shot the door right in the middle. The door opened, and when we walked inside, we were amazed!
Dozens of computers, most functioning automatically, were inside! The room was really bright, with flashing colors from the monitors, whistles and noises from the speakers, everything! We walked up to what looked like the main computer. What a mess! Papers, food wrappers and soda cans were strewn across the desk. We decided to search through the junk to see if there was anything of significance. We hadn't found anything when Pikachu said, "Hey Kirby, I found this floppy disk." He handed the disk to me. Other than the basic black plastic, the floppy had the words 'ToT Information Disk: DO NOT LOSE OR MISPLACE!' written in red on the label. "Hey, if it says 'do not lose or misplace', then it's bound to be important," I exclaimed. "Cool! I wonder what 'ToT' stands for..." Pikachu said. "We'll find out, as soon as we get out of here!" I replied. Since there appeared to be nothing else important, we headed back to the door. "Let me shoot it this time," I told Pikachu. I attempted to shoot it quick draw style like Pikachu, but missed horribly. Pikachu forced back a laugh. "Shut up!" I said, forgetting to let off the trigger. Pikachu immediately stopped snorting and said, "Kirby, there's a pink ball on your gun!" I looked at my gun to see a pink glowing ball on the end of the barrel. "Hmm..." I thought aloud. I aimed my gun at the door, and released the trigger. A large ball of energy shot out of my gun, and smashed into the door, ripping a large hole into its center. "Woah," Pikachu said, "I didn't know there was a charging feature on these guns." "Sweet!" I exclaimed. I was amazed that we could charge our guns, but I amazed even more at what I saw through the door.
There was a large blue door on the other side of the hall. "Did you see that door before?" I asked Pikachu as I pointed towards it. "I don't think so..." Pikachu started, "we were too busy looking at the doors on this side of the hall." "And the door is a different color, so maybe it has a higher security level," I stated. "Or maybe only certain people are allowed in..." Pikachu said. "...You don't think?..." I said. We jumped through the hole I just made, and walked over to the blue door. "It's the same design as the other doors, so..." Pikachu said. He quickly quick-drew the door (sounds weird, huh?) like the other. But what we found when we stepped inside left us in awe.
We are on top of a tall pillar, at the edge of a large room. Below us was a very intricate maze. In the middle of the room was another tall pillar the height of ours. Standing on top of the pillar was... "EP Mario!" I yelled as I ran to the edge, "why I oughta..." "Well-a, well, I'm-a happy to-a see-a you-a too-a," he said smugly. "Where's the princess?" Pikachu asked angrily. "Oh, she's-a here with-a us- a," he said. He sharply tapped his foot, and a lower area of the central pillar rose to reveal... "Peach!" I exclaimed. There she was, still bound and gagged from earlier. Pikachu and I growled at EP Mario. "Don't-a worry, you-a won't have-a to go through-a me-a to get-a her," EP Mario smirked, "just-a my-a newest accomplice-a." EP Mario quickly jumped backwards onto a pillar against the wall opposite ours. "Come-a forth-a, SA-X!" he hollered. A few moments passed. Suddenly, a large explosion blasted a hole through the ceiling. Pikachu and I quickly shielded ourselves as to not get hit by the debris. Once the dust cleared, we could see our new opponent.
Standing there was what appeared to be Samus. "I'd-a like-a you-a to-a meet SA-X," Mario said evilly, "she-a will-a be killing you-a today." "Yes, but without the help of you," SA-X said in a dark, droll voice. She quickly turned around and aimed her cannon at Evil Paper Mario. "What-a are-a you-a doing?!?!" EP Mario screamed. "Eliminating a nuisance," SA-X snorted. SA-X fired a Super Missile at him. "NOOOOOOO!!!" EP Mario screamed as he was blown through the wall. When the dust cleared this time, all that was left was a huge hole in the wall. Pikachu and I were stunned. Sure, we heard that SA-X was tough, but we never knew she was ruthless! SA-X shot her grappling hook towards the hole, and appeared to have picked something up. "Here," SA-X said as she tossed something small at us, "you are going to need it if you expect to even think of beating me." I caught was looked like a card. "EP Mario's card!" Pikachu exclaimed. "You heartless..." I growled at SA- X. "You had better use it, or I may start without you..." SA-X said evilly. "We'd better upload," Pikachu said as he took off his backpack. "Yeah," I said as I reached to take off my backpack too. We both quickly got our videoboards out, and uploaded EP Mario's data to our hardware.
"Hmmph! Only five levels," Pikachu grumbled. "It's better than nothing," I replied. "Are you two idiots ever going to get started?" SA-X hollered. "Grr...nobody gets away with calling me an idiot!" Pikachu yelled. Pikachu quickly jumped towards SA-X. "Bad idea," SA-X growled.

----------------------
SA-X jumped out towards Pikachu and quickly smashed him downwards with her cannon. Pikachu plummeted into the maze as SA-X easily double-jumped back onto the central pillar. "You son of a..." I started angrily. "Careful, or you'll end up like your stupid friend," SA-X interrupted. "I always get knocked around, so who cares?" I snorted. I jumped out at SA-X. She jumped at me, gun first, but I was ready. Right before she would've hit me, I air-dodged forward, and grabbed the edge of the central pillar. I got up in time to see SA-X land on the other pillar. "Your mentor has taught you well, young padawan," SA-X said as she turned around. "Did you rip that off of something?!" I exclaimed. "Uhhh..." SA-X said blankly. "Whatever," I snorted. I snatched a Super Scope out of my pack and secretly charged it behind my back. "Say cheese!" I yelled as I aimed the Super Scope at her. I let off the trigger, sending the huge ball of energy at her. The ball impacted, slamming SA-X off the door and into the maze below.
I jumped to where Pikachu was in the maze. "Boy, am I glad to see you," Pikachu said. "Why? You should have been able to see me from here," I stated. "Uh, we have a slight problem there," Pikachu said, "look up." I looked up to see...that there was a white ceiling above us! "What the heck!?" I said. Suddenly a voice over a speaker said, "I see you have found out about the one-way ceiling. Once you pass through it, you can't get out!" "What about you SA-X? You should be stuck too!" I called out. "You fool; I created this wall, and made myself immune to its effects," she called back. "S***! But then that means..." I wondered aloud. "Pikachu! Charge your gun and use team defense pattern #6, now!" I yelled. I quickly dodge rolled backwards, as did Pikachu. We quickly charged up our guns, and, as I suspected, SA-X landed right between us! "Let it loose!" I exclaimed. Pikachu and I fired our guns in unison. "Noooooooo!" SA-X screamed as she was engulfed between the energy spheres. When they contacted, their power was amplified, creating a huge blast that sent Pikachu and I flying in opposite directions.
I finally got up when the smoke cleared up. I quickly walked back to where SA-X had been. I came up to the blast area to find Pikachu arriving towards a pile of dust. Containing... "All right! Another card!" I exclaimed. "Well that was fun," Pikachu said sarcastically. "At least now we can finally get the princess," I said as I put the card into my bag, "c'mon, let's hurry up!"
We climbed the pillar with Peach inside (once we found it; unfortunately the blast didn't destroy the ceiling) and hopped in. There she was, still bound and gagged, waiting for us. "Kir-ee! Eek-ah-chu!" she tried to say through the cloth. I quickly jumped up and started to untie the cloth from around her mouth. "I'll get the ropes," Pikachu said as he stepped up. Peach suddenly started showing distress. I quickly finished untying the cloth only for Peach to blurt out, "Look out! It's a trap!" But it was too late.
Pikachu stepped on the red circular outline that Peach was standing inside of. A loud computerized voice spoke over the speaker: 'Self-Destruct sequence initated. Remaining Evacuation time: three minutes.' [cue the Wario Land 4 "Hurry Up!" music] "You could've told me I was going to step on something!!!" Pikachu yelled. "I couldn't very well, considering I was gagged!!" Peach yelled back. "We gotta get the h*** outta here!!" I yelled louder. I quickly jumped off Peach and picked her up. "Hey! Watch it!" Peach said angrily. "Let's move!" I said. I quickly ran to the edge, and floated up to the door. Pikachu quickly followed. Pikachu shot the door open, and we quickly ran to the left. 'Remaining time: two minutes.' We ran like crazy and skidded to a halt at the doorway into the hangar, which we quickly ducked into. We dashed to the WarpStar only to hear 'Remaining time: one minute.'
Once we got aboard, I quickly yelled, "Hit the purple button on the dashboard!" to Pikachu. He Quick-Attacked to the cockpit, as I ran up with Peach. Pikachu smashed the purple button, which made an extra seat come up from the floor. I quickly put Peach on the new seat, then hopped into the driver's seat. 'Remaining time: ten seconds.' I fired up the engines as quickly as I could. '5...' We touched off. '4...' We blasted out of the hangar. '3...' "Time to use my secret weapon!" I exclaimed. '2...' I flipped open a latch revealing a red and yellow button. '1...' I slammed the button down. "Time for lightspeed!" I exclaimed. '0...'
We blasted away just before the explosion. Once we were a good distance away and out of lightspeed, we looked the back of the ship to see a large ball of fire off in the distance. "Remind me..." Pikachu gasped, "to never go into space with you again!"
