Chapter 11: Battling through Butter Building
Poppy Brothers Senior saw Kirby coming and grinned. He had been waiting for Kirby to show up. Kirby currently had no power. So he tried to inhale Poppy Brothers Senior. However, Poppy Brothers Senior was not budging!
"Kirby! Poppy Brothers Senior is one of those large enemies that can't be inhaled until knocked out!" yelled Gooey.
Poppy Brothers Senior pulled out a bomb and lobbed it at Kirby. Kirby wasn't ready and it hit him right in the face! The explosion blasted Kirby across the room. He hit a wall and slid to the floor.
"Is that all you got?!" shouted Kirby, getting back up.
Poppy Brothers Senior threw another bomb and this time Kirby inhaled it, transforming into Bomb Kirby! Bomb Kirby threw a barrage of bombs back at Poppy Brothers Senior. They didn't miss. Poppy Brothers Senior fell to the ground, unconscious. Kirby trashed his bomb power and inhaled Poppy Brothers Senior. Kirby was now Crash Kirby!
Something was odd. Even though Kirby had a power, Kirby didn't have the hat to go with it. He just felt a pulsing, like he could explode.
This could be interesting, thought Crash Kirby as he entered the next room.
Immediately, Kirby heard a voice that shouted, "Kirby defeated him! Kill!"
The lights came on to reveal a huge room filled with enemies of all kinds that were rushing at Crash Kirby.
Crash Kirby, right then, activated his extremely powerful, one-time-use-only power. The explosion was deafening and it knocked Kirby out for a few seconds. When he came to, he was in a completely bare room. Crash had completely wiped out all the enemies!
"Kirby," said Gooey. "I'm keeping track of what powers you have used so far and I think you might be interested to hear the list."
"Okay," said Kirby.
"You've used Fire, Cutter, Spark, Beam, Bomb and Crash."
"Okay," repeated Kirby.
In the next room, there was a huge drop and no way back.
"Oh, no!" said Kirby. "Now I have to go way down and I'm trying to go up! I'm no good with drops! There are lots of enemies on platforms littered throughout this big tube."
"Go back into the previous room."
"But the door on the far side of that room is locked."
"Just go in there."
Kirby did.
"Now," Gooey continued, "that Crash you did must have wrecked some of the floor or something."
"Yeah, there're some rocks jutting out."
"Well, inhale the rocks! From the looks of how you've been getting powers, you should be able to get Stone power from them."
Kirby inhaled the rocks, transformed into Stone Kirby and re-entered the "tube" room.
"I think I know what to do," said Kirby.
He jumped and became a rock. He crashed down on enemies and platforms. He flattened the bad guys and destroyed their little floors. He kept shooting down in a blur of grey and behind him roared a huge mass of falling construction materials.
