Chapter 14: Butter Building Revisited
After saying good-bye to Lololo and Lalala, Kirby went back down into Butter Building. He then called up Gooey and had a warpstar take him directly to the vault.
At the vault, Kirby wondered why Dark Matter used such a large safe. It was as big as a whole room. Still on the warpstar, Kirby got into the safe quite easily. Inside, Kirby was face to face with a hammer! It hit Kirby and he was flattened against the wall!
When Kirby looked up, he got a glimpse of a huge and muscular monkey above him carrying a hammer before he slammed into four hard surfaces.
Kirby heard cackling laughter above him.
A crazy voice with an ever-changing pitch shouted, "Blaahaahaahaahaa!!! Bonkers smash pink marshmallow!!!!!"
Kirby looked up and saw the hammer coming down on him. He rolled to the side just before he would have been "smashed".
Kirby got up and Bonkers cackled with laughter.
"It looks like the marshmallow must be roasted first!!!" he screamed and started throwing coconuts at Kirby.
Kirby managed to inhale some of the coconuts, but the others hit the walls and exploded. Kirby felt the fiery pain as the explosions singed his back.
Kirby aimed and shot all the coconuts he had inhaled right into Bonkers' chest.
"Ow, ow, ow!" shrieked Bonkers and ran into a corner. When he got there, he pulled something out of his suit. It was a detonator box!!! (For those of you who don't know what a detonator box is, it's one of those things where you push down the bar on top and something goes BOOM.)
Kirby stopped. He had no idea what would explode if Bonkers pushed that thing and he didn't want to find out.
"Come no closer!" said Bonkers. "If you do, I'll blow us all to tiny, tiny bits!"
Kirby's eyes widened. Could it be that the thing that was wired to explode was the safe that he and Bonkers were both inside of? Could it be that Bonkers was just bluffing?
In a split-second decision, Kirby leapt forward and inhaled the box. Then he shot it back at Bonkers. This knocked Bonkers out and Kirby inhaled him for the Hammer ability!
Then a voice came over some sort of intercom.
"Butter Building self-destruct sequence activated," it said. "Butter Building will explode in sixty seconds. Have a nice day."
"Oh, no," said Kirby.
Kirby quickly called Gooey and yelled, "Butter Building's about to explode! Get me out of here!"
"Okay!" said Gooey. "A warpstar is on its way. Also, don't worry about Lololo and Lalala. Their fortress can fly."
"Kirby, looking for this?" said a voice behind Kirby.
Kirby spun around and saw a bird about his size with a star rod shard in its beak!
Kirby inhaled the shard, thinking that the bird was an enemy, and was immediately picked up by a warpstar. As he flew off into the clouds, he could see a little speck leave Butter Building before it crumbled into dust.
