Chapter 32: Power #6 and Experimentation
Kirby hastily ate the star rod shard and that gentle informative voice spoke again.
"Star Warrior," the voice said, "you are not as near to the end of your travels as you might think. Many difficulties lie ahead. Be careful. Your new power is to combine abilities in pairs to create combo abilities, however, you cannot do this with ones that are one-or-three-time-use-only. The next star rod shard is located in Big Forest. May you shine forth like a star."
Kirby relayed this message to Gooey and entered inside the Halberd to try it out. As usual, the voices on the phone had a lot to say.
"Kirby has destroyed Heavy Lobster and there has been major damage to the right wing!"
Captain: "Don't worry! We've regained our balance."
"Thank you for not swearing, Cap."
Meta Knight: "Open the cages! Release the creature swarm! He won't get far."
Kirby heard clanging up ahead. Suddenly, a pig-like thing jumped out in front of him. Kirby fried it with the Fire ability he still had and rounded the corner.
Enemies were streaming from everywhere. Perfect, thought Kirby. Now I can do some great power experimentation!
Kirby inhaled the first enemy to come close. It was a Punc. Kirby combined the Punc's needle ability with the flamethrower's fire ability to become Fire Arrow Kirby! A flaming arrow poked out of Kirby's mouth. Kirby took aim and shot many arrows into the crowd. Each one plowed through multiple creatures and left behind a trail of fire.
Kirby trashed the Fire Arrow power and inhaled a Sir Kibble to become Cutter Kirby! Cutter Kirby sliced through a Mite, a Waddle Dee and a Bronto Burt. Cutter Kirby then inhaled a Sparky to combine its spark ability with Sir Kibble's cutter ability and become Chainsaw Kirby! Kirby got out his chainsaw and tore through the creatures hacking and slicing them to bloody bits. Kirby swung his chainsaw around and the 12 surrounding creatures became 24 creature halves.
Kirby trashed the Chainsaw power. He then inhaled a Cairn and a Waddle Doo to combine rock and beam. Kirby became Electric-Wrecking-Ball Kirby! Kirby now had a rock on the end of an electric chain that he swung around smashing enemies with. Kirby swung it around and around sending creatures flying left and right.
Kirby trashed that power too. He then inhaled a Chilly and Frigis. However, they both had the ice power so Kirby combined two ice abilities to become Huge Snowball Kirby! Kirby rolled up into a huge snowball and rolled around the arena that he was in. Enemies were pulled into his snowball making it bigger and bigger. Eventually it got so full that it exploded, shooting the trapped creatures in every direction. The creatures flew like projectiles and smashed into other enemies.
Kirby trashed that power, inhaled a Bobo, inhaled a Skud and combined their Fire and Bomb abilities to become Firework Kirby! Kirby jumped up and exploded into brilliant colors, blowing up nearby enemies and setting those farther away on fire. Kirby did it again and again. More and more creatures were getting blasted.
Kirby trashed that power and inhaled two Galbos to combine their fire abilities and become Comet Kirby! Kirby turned into a flaming comet that went shooting through the creatures, smashing into them and frying them to ashes. Around and around he went, destroying everything he came in contact with.
Kirby slowed down and stopped. He trashed the Comet power and looked for another creature to inhale. There wasn't one. He had wiped them all out.
Kirby wished he had had a mirror through all of that. He must have gotten some pretty interesting hats.
