Chapter 17: Adamant Ado
Kirby walked up to Ado. She was lying on the ground, unconscious. Kirby didn't know anything about non-Dreamlander anatomy, but he got the feeling that Ado's leg wasn't supposed to bend like that.
Ado woke up, saw Kirby, saw her leg, and what followed was about two minutes worth of unprintable profanity.
Kirby just stood there. He had no idea what to do. He had never heard so many words he didn't know used consecutively.
After Ado calmed down a bit, Kirby said, "Alright, Ado, hand over the star rod shard!"
Ado replied by telling Kirby to go to some place that he had never heard of.
"Is that where the shard is?" asked Kirby.
"No," Gooey interrupted. "It's a fictional place where dead souls go to burn for all eternity."
"Oh," said Kirby. Then to Ado, "Come on. Give it to me. I know you have it!"
"No I don't!" was Ado's reply. "I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Don't play dumb with me!" retorted Kirby. "Where are you hiding it?!"
"EAT ME, KIRBY!!!" shouted Ado. "You beat me, now KILL me! Put me out of my misery! I don't have your shard! My life is over! I don't want a slow death! My leg! Kill me now!!!"
Kirby faltered. This was a very convincing show, if it was a show at all.
"What should I do, Gooey?" asked Kirby into the phone.
"Eat her," replied Gooey in a hopeless tone of voice. "She's right. She's gonna die and she doesn't have the shard. I had the feeling she was of no significance Dark Matter's plot. Kracko must have the shard. Why else would he have been so eager to kill you in Butter Building? This may not have helped you in your quest, but you have accomplished a great deed. You have ridded Grape Garden of its most evil pest. Just eat her, Kirby, and be done. I'll send a maximum tomato over in case she's stale."
After Kirby's experience with the defeated Ado, Kirby and Gooey came to the silent agreement that they would never talk about it again.
