PART 10: Appearance! Super Demon Beast!
The worm hissed at Kirby and struck again, showing it's sharp fangs. Kirby jumped away again, but it easily turned upwards and grabbed him with his teeth. It shook him around wildly and threw him against a wall. Blood flowed from the fresh holes now in Kirby's skin. Kirby got onto the floor and rolled away as the demon worm struck again quickly, turned around and snapped at Kirby, who got out of roll and back flipped onto a wall. The demonic worm snapped at him again, but Kirby jumped off the wall and grabbed one of the demon's spikes. The demon quickly rammed itself against the wall just as Kirby flipped off the spike and landed on the demon's head. The demon ran side-first into a wall, getting it's spikes caught in it. Kirby sighed in relief, but the demon's entire body began to spin around wildly, throwing Kirby off. The demon's tail emerged from the wall... it was covered in blood-red spikes.
The demon began to pound it's tail against the floor, slowly heading towards Kirby. Kirby slid under it just as it hit the place he was standing, leaving enormous holes in the floor. The demon removed it's head from the wall, and spit three globs of venom at Kirby, who slid under the attacks just as the demon swung it's tail at him. Kirby was hit by the tail and sent flying. Blood poured from more fresh dents in Kirby's body. The demon swayed back and forth, like the flowers in the forest, and then it struck at Kirby again, using both it's head and it's tail. Kirby jumped between the two attacks just as the demon turned around and spit more globs of venom at him. Kirby rolled around these as the demon swung it's tail and snapped at him. Kirby did a handstand, flipped in-between the two attacks and grabbed onto one of the demon's spikes on it's body.
The demon's body began to spin around again, the spikes ripping through the ground as it spun. Kirby flipped from spike to spike, quickly climbing up it's body. The demon fired globs of venom at him, which Kirby quickly rolled under. Kirby ran around it's body and the demon suddenly disappeared into it's hole, taking Kirby with it. Kirby was thrown backwards by this and grabbed onto a spike, as the demon sped into the narrow tunnel like a runaway roller coaster, constantly spinning the rest of it's body around in the process.
Kirby climbed from spike to spike, desperately trying not to be thrown off as the demon sped through the rocky tunnel at speeds well surpassing a hundred miles per hour. The snake-like demon turned a corner sharply, almost throwing Kirby off in the process. Kirby grabbed onto another spike, which suddenly fell off. Kirby had a sudden idea, and he put the spike into his mouth, keeping it there until the demon reached the other side of the tunnel, holding on for his life and quickly scaling it's enormous body in the process. Eventually, a bright ray of light appeared.. they were reaching the end of the tunnel. Kirby swallowed the spike.
Just as the demon emerged from the tunnel, Kirby's body began to glow as he did three somersaults into the air, his skin turning yellow and a helmet appearing on his head. Needles came out of the helmet at his will.
"NEEDLE!" Kirby yelled, turning upside down and sailing at the worm head-first, needles ready. The snake snapped at him suddenly, and missed as Kirby impaled it's stomach with the needles. Deep inside the worm, Kirby retracted the needles, and blood trickled from the worm's wounds. Kirby then proceeded to flip off of the snake, helmet and all. There were now twenty-four holes in the worm's belly, each one with blood flowing like wine from them. The worm roared in fury, smashing it's tail against the ground.
Kirby crouched on the ground, surrounded by the needles on his helmet. The enormous thrashing of the gigantic demon was coming closer, ripping the ground apart and slowly getting closer and closer to Kirby.
Kirby held his ground as the demon's tail smashed into the needles on his helmet, puncturing it's tail twenty-four more times. Blood trickled down the needles and down Kirby's helmet, eventually pouring around Kirby into a small puddle.
The worm roared in fury, and Kirby immediately retracted his needles and rolled out from under it, just as it responded by lashing it's heavily spiked tail at Kirby, knocking him onto the ground. Kirby quickly got up, aimed forward, and charged at the worm, needles ready. The worm hissed and snapped at Kirby, ramming it's head into the needles. The worm lashed at Kirby again and again, Kirby deflecting it's blows with his helmet. Blood poured all around him and the snake screamed, firing an enormous glob of flesh melting acid.
Kirby crouched to the ground, needles ready. The acid exploded against his helmet, instantly melting it. Kirby slid away as the worm fired again, lashing out it's enormous tail at him. It smashed Kirby against a wall and quickly snapped at him, grabbing him with it's teeth. It threw him against a wall, which Kirby quickly held onto with his remaining strength. He jumped from the wall just as the worm struck again, firing another glob of acid. The acid melted the wall and the snake lashed out with his tail.
Kirby didn't have enough time to dodge. The spikes made five enormous gashes, one just under his left eye. Kirby looked at the worm and jumped at it's neck as it snapped at him again. Kirby held on as the worm broke through the ceiling, breaking out of the cave.
------------------------
Deep in space, some of the Cappies looked at their once peaceful home through the ship's windows. Suddenly, the fog burst away, revealing an enormous snake thing and a bright light which could be seen all the way from space. The snake thing appeared to be wildly snapping around at something.
------------------------
Kirby let go of the worm as it snapped at him again, just as it burst from the tunnel. Kirby somersaulted over another attack, grabbed a spike, and snapped it off. Blood poured from another wound as Kirby swallowed the spike, once again transforming into Needle Kirby. He aimed at the snake's head and ejected the needles from his helmet like small rockets.
The worm turned quickly, but a dozen of the needles hit it in the neck. The worm cried out again and charged at the floor, fangs bared, while Kirby quickly did a cartwheel to avoid the attack. The snake crashed into the floor, knocking Kirby off his feet.
-----------------------
The snake thing was gone, but the light was still there. The Cappies watched curiously as this continued. Suddenly, the snake burst from the ground again, snapping it's jaws.
-----------------------
Kirby narrowly avoided the worm as it broke through the ground again and fired more balls of acid at him. Kirby slid under this and jumped from spike to spike, scaling the worm's neck. The worm tried to knock Kirby off by throwing itself at the ground. Kirby ran up the spikes like stairs, reaching the other side just in time to avoid the attack. The worm reared back and it's body began to spin. It began to flail around, trying to knock Kirby off balance. Kirby reached it's head and jumped high into the air.
----------------------
As the Cappies watched from space, the snake began to flail around wildly, the fog jumping around in motion with it, as if whatever was making that light was being tossed around like a rag doll...
Could Kirby be on Pop Star?
----------------------
Kirby took off his helmet, held in it's hands, and dropped down at the worm's head, helmet first. Just as the helmet began to disappear, he smashed it into the worm's brain and quickly somersaulted off, ready to strike again, even though he had just lost an ability. Blood flowed down the worm's face as it blindly hunted down Kirby, flailing madly.
It found Kirby again, and fired another glob of acid at him. It hit the ground and exploded, melting the ground and splashing against Kirby's skin. Kirby felt an intense burning and the skin on his back began to split...
But he wouldn't scream. He ran towards the worm again as it shot another glob of acid at him. Kirby gulped and took a deep breath of air, then he inhaled and swallowed the acid.
Kirby cried out. The acid ripped through his throat, then through his stomach. As Kirby fell to the ground in pain, he began to glow. Slowly, he stood up again as his skin turned green and he began to shake furiously.
"ACID!" he screamed, feeling an unbelievable pain as he exploded into enormous globs of acid, which flew around the area, melting everything in sight.
As the blasts hit the worm, it's spikes and skin began to melt, to the point where you could see it's insides. The worm roared in rage and looked for Kirby, who had reformed back to normal. He looked as bad as the worm, for parts of his skin had melted off. Both were determined to emerge victorious, but Kirby didn't cry out...or wince.
Kirby ran around holes the acid had made as the snake snapped at him again and again in quick succession, determined to destroy Kirby once and for all. Kirby slid and rolled around the blows, and jumped at the worm.
Kirby had something ready. In mid-jump, he held a leftover needle in his hand and put it in his mouth, swallowing it. He transformed into Needle Kirby and launched himself at the worm's neck like a rocket, needles ready.
Kirby exploded through one end of the worm's neck and out the other, sending blood everywhere, splashing in all directions and covering Kirby, who landed on the ground, the worm's blood flowing down his face with his own. The worm roared as it fell to the ground, blood flowing all around it like a river. Kirby looked at it, then he looked to the sky, weakly doing a victory pose.
"I'm coming..." he said, smiling weakly.
