Chapter 10: The Domain

Kirby and Yasher were outside the enterance of Toad Town Inn. It was currently nighttime and the moon was silhouetting above the town as the citizens slept peacefully knowing that the humongous cobra would never plague their town ever again thanks to the two. The two thought about what the elder said.

Kirby: So now how are we going to get the Star Spirit? We don't have any leads as to it's location!

Yasher: Here let me think for a minute.

As Kirby waited for an answer from Yasher they headed for the Toad Town Square. The square was still under construction and the workers were working tirelessly to fix the fountain, the postal center, the gate to Peach's Castle and the large hole in the ground caused by the cobra. When Yasher looked at the hole and the construction workers, he finally stumbled upon his solution.

Yasher: OY! STOP THE CONSTRUCTION! IT'S IMPORTANT!

Kirby: Hey Yasher, wait!

Yasher ran to the construction site with Kirby trying to keep up with him. The construction workers saw Yasher and Kirby running towards the site and immediatly shut off their equipment and tools. A few of the workers jumped off their machines in order to see what was going on. Yasher stopped in his tracks when he was within range of the workers sight and hearing as Kirby did too after him.

Construction Worker: Hey, this place isn't for kids! It's dangerous for you guys to be over here so beat it and run home to your families before somebody gets hurt.

Kirby: Why I outta electric punch your arrogant little face! I'm not a kid and besides it was because of my friend and I here that the monster was defeated.

C. Worker: Right and if you were the heroes, then prove it!

Kirby: I'd be much obligied to!

Kirby held his arm out and showed the bite wound to the workers. The two holes in his arm shut the workers up and prove them wrong. Kirby withdrew his arm and faced them with a smart-navi look on his face.

C. Worker: We're sorry for the commotion. What do you need?

Yasher: Well you see remember when that cobra attacked?

C. Worker: Doesn't anybody? Hahaha!

Yasher: Yeah well, I bet this hole can lead us to monster's domain.

C. Worker: Yeah it would but even if it would, we can't. Sorry but it's regulation.

Yasher: Oh yeah well don't blame me when your town is attacked again.

C. Worker: W-What do you mean?

Yasher: I'm sure you shouldv'e that the monster had children with it now, huh? If we followed the trail then maybe we could exterminate them but I guess that won't happen then now would it?

C. Worker: Oh alright, but you better come back alive!

Kirby: Oh we will!

As the two went into the trail left by the snake, the workers went back home to greet their families with the awkward news they had in store for them. Meanwhile, the two traveled for what seemed like hours until the trail stopped and there was nothing that would clue an exit or enterance.

Kirby: Well, this is great! We travel all this way for nothing!

Yasher: Not exactly. Look...

Yasher pointed to a hole in front of them. Kirby saw it and he was a little irratated by the fact that he had to deeper into the ground.

Kirby: Well...

Yasher: You go first...

Kirby: Fine but you better not chicken out on me when we go in there.

Kirby jumped into the hole and Yasher followed. The two had to endure a long fall before landing onto the ground. As Kirby got up, he was on concrete and there were in an underground city. A beam of sunlight penetrated the dark and dull city by shining through a few holes in the dirt above. Yasher stepped up and walked beside Kirby, looking up in awe as he tried to grasp the feeling of the vacant underground city. Their moment was cut short because a window suddenly broke into pieces as little snakes starting filling the ground. They surrounded the two within minutes.

Kirby: Aww man, hey Yasher make sure you don't get bit because we won't have enough herbs if we waste them!

Yasher: Got it!

Yasher started spinning wildly as he spun towards the snakes on his side, slicing them as he passed by as Kirby floated to the air and took his arm. He deflated himself and dove to the ground with his fist out cackling in lightning. When he fist impacted onto the ground, an electric shockwave came out of the ground and hit every snake in the remote area thus killing them. Yasher stopped spinning and walked next to Kirby. Kirby knew something was going to else was going to happen.

Kirby: We need to get out of here fast! I just know more are on the way!

Yasher: Right...

The two started to run to a different location. Moments later they found a cave in the city's park. The both of them entered it. Upon entering it, Kirby noticed it was an empty room with only three doors in it. Two of the doors were openable but the door in the middle, the one they were facing, had a huge, golden lock with horns on it. The two faced each other for a consulation.

Yasher: Okay I'm stumped on this one, what do we do?

Kirby: Well, it's simple really! To cover more ground, I'll go in the door to the left and you go in door to the right, ok? When you've finished in the room, come back and meet me here. Now let's go!

Kirby went into his assigned door and Yasher did the same thing. As Yasher entered his door, he noticed that the place was filled with traps from mere barbs on the floor that explode on impact to dangerous crushing walls that activate when something hits a switch that's implanted into the ground. Taking this seriously, he gingerly walked passed the traps by flying over the barbs to watching his every move, hoping that he wouldn't tip off a switch. As he reached the end of the room, he saw a chest. His curiousity lead him to the chest unharmed. As he opened the chest, he pulled out a pair of shoes with little wings on them. He put them on and he felt the shoes latch onto him. Suddenly he charged right to the door with lightning speed to the exit but as he ran to it, he stepped onto a switch in the ground and the door was blocked out by metal bars before he opened it. The walls suddenly, starting closing in on him and spikes popped out from the bases. As they closed in on him, he desperately tried to move the metallic bar but to no avail. He was becoming more desperate as they neared him until he couldn't about it. The spikes were only inches away from him before Yasher screamed out.

Yasher: KIRBY, HELP!
