Chapter 34: Reactor Reactions

"Kirby is now underneath the ship!"

Captain: "The bottom's weak... the wind is too strong."

"It's too cold."

"I'm afraid of heights!"

"No way! I ain't goin'."

Captain: "You chickens!"

Meta Knight: "Release the aerial squadron! Blast him out of the sky!"

"Aerial squadron is released, Sir."

"What's Kirby doing?"

"He's tilting vertical!"

"I know that, but what I'm wondering is why."

"Oh, no! The squadron!"

"How did he just blast right through them?!"

"It must be his flying machine."

"That thing's too strong; the squadron can't withstand collisions with it."

"Dang! Now Kirby's inside!"

"He's heading toward the reactor core!"

"If we lose power, we're doomed!"

Captain: "Relax. The reactor can't be defeated!"

Meta Drone: "Kirby has arrived at the reactor core."

"What's he doing? There's nothing for him to inhale."

"The idiot's trying to inhale the power core!"

"Good thing that core's stuck there with magnetic fields."

"What?! How'd he get that sparky hat?!"

Meta Knight: "He must have inhaled some of the electric current around the core, but no matter. Electric attacks will do nothing to the reactor."

"Correction, they're doing nothing to the reactor."

Meta Drone: "The auto-defense system has locked onto Kirby."

Captain: "Perfect! Kirby won't stand a chance!"

"Look! The cannon's charging up!"

"Kirby must know. He's on top of the cannon. It can't shoot him there."

"Why'd the cannon shoot? It couldn't hit Kirby."

"It can't store all that energy. When it charges up, it has to fire."

"Kirby's on the floor again, but he's not moving. What's he doing."

"Maybe he's just trying to think of how to destroy the reactor."

Captain: "Sorry, Kirby. There is no way that you can even do it damage."

"Whoa!"

"Nice reflexes."

"He almost got torched!"

Captain: "Whoever came up with the idea for that flamethrower in the ground deserves a raise."

"Watch Kirby! He's inhaling the fire!"

"Hey! How'd his sparky hat turn into a piece of plexiglass?"

"It must be a new power."

"Why is he rubbing it against his head?"

"He's creating sparks, but he'd better be careful. Too much of that rubbing and the friction will cause his head to—"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Kirby screamed and started running around like crazy.

"—catch on fire!"

"Oh! Nasty!"

Captain: "Roasted marshmallow, anyone?"

Meta Knight: "The core is resistant to fire as well. Kirby is only hurting himself."

"The fire's out! The plexiglass disappeared as well!"

Captain: "Here comes the laser gun!"

"How can Kirby suddenly know everything that's happening without even seeing it? It's puzzling."

"The laser got him!"

"He thought he was so cool with his dodging skills, but the laser reflected off the wall and hit him in the back!"

Captain: "That laser works well, doesn't it?"

"All the components are now attacking at once!"

Captain: "Looks like Kirby can't stand the heat!"

"Whoa! That was close! One of the lasers almost reflected into the core!"

"Who designed the auto-defense system for the reactor, anyway? Those lasers are of too high a frequency. They can destroy the power core!"

"What?! Kirby's flying in front of the core! Do you think he knows that the lasers can hurt it? This is bad."

"The reactor's taken a hit!"

Captain: [censored]

"I agree."

Captain: "How could he know?!"

Meta Knight: "Meta Axe, quick, what was that thing you said about Kirby knowing what was happening?"

Meta Axe: "I was wondering how Kirby can know everything that's happening without seeing it."

Silence.

Meta Axe: "You don't suppose..."

Meta Knight: "Oh, but I do."

Captain: "What?"

Meta Knight: "He's got us bugged. I don't know how he did it, but somehow he can hear every word we say. That's how he knows what's happening even when he can't see it and, because of our jabbering on, he also knows how to destroy the core!"

Captain: [censored]

"You really should stop swearing, Cap."

Captain: "I can swear whenever I want and this is the perfect time to do so!"

"No, Cap. Don't—"

Captain: [censored]

Meta Knight: "I hope you can hear me Kirby! I hope you're getting all of this! You won't get off this ship alive! I will make sure of that! You are NOT about to ruin everything this Halberd was made for! You will die and I will rule! Got that?! Dreamland will be mine and you can't stop me!!!"

Meta Drone: "Bad news, Sir. The core has been destroyed."
