Chapter 27: Combating Combo Cannon
A metal panel slid across the opening of the duct that Kirby had just come out of. There was no escape. Suddenly, a warpstar flew in front of Kirby and disappeared.
"I thought you might need this," said Gooey as Kirby ate the maximum tomato the warpstar had just deposited in front of him, "but I can't help you with Combo Cannon, you'll just have to find a way to destroy it. I can tell you this though, that Spark power you have will not damage it."
Kirby got rid of the spark power and readied himself for combat. The cannon, however, was turning away from him, pointing into the clouds. Before Kirby could fathom why, a large amount of electricity surged through his body. Kirby now knew why it was called "Combo Cannon" and "the twin cannon". The cannon was actually made up of three parts. A giant-sized cannonball-firing cannon, a huge laser cannon, and what looked like some sort of attack hand. The laser cannon was what had just zapped Kirby.
Just then, the "attack hand" started throwing bombs at Kirby, who ate them to become Bomb Kirby! Kirby started throwing bombs at the laser cannon. The bombs were damaging it, but it had started charging up. It unleashed a stream of powerful current through the air. Kirby dodged and it tried to turn fast enough to hit him. Kirby kept dodging and the cannon kept missing. When Kirby was getting pretty confident with his laser-dodging skills, something grabbed him. He tried to turn around, but the "attack hand" had immobilized him from the back. He struggled, but the hand simply held him in front of the laser cannon, which fired, scoring a direct hit. The hit blasted Kirby out of the hand's grip, but had hurt, a lot.
Kirby struggled to get up. He had miraculously retained his Bomb power. Since he couldn't get up, he got out a bomb and put it in his mouth. Just before the laser cannon was about to fire, he shot the bomb at it. The laser cannon exploded into a million flaming pieces. The force of the explosion destroyed the "attack hand" as well.
Gooey was on the phone, "Kirby, I'll be sending maximum tomatoes every so often while you're outside. You may need them."
The maximum tomato that arrived a few seconds later saved Kirby's life.
"Sir, Kirby's destroyed the laser and hand components of the twin cannon."
Captain: "No matter. He will never stand a chance against the giant cannon."
"Sir, the giant cannon has locked onto something."
Suddenly, the giant cannon started firing into the clouds and a familiar voice boomed across the sky.
