Without further delay, here's the next chapter! I figured that I should be updating this faster. I have a hell lot of ideas for this story I can't wait showing you readers!

Chapter 47: Pink Puffballs Are Superior! Kirby vs. Jirobou!

"My special ability is to copy the powers of whatever or whoever I swallowed!" says Kirby. "Now I'm as strong as you!"

"There is now way you can beat the real thing!" says Jirobou. They both jump at each other and strike with their fists. Both their powers are equally strong, so when their fists contact with each other, they both get pushed back in opposite directions.

Jirobou slams his hand into the ground, causing stalagmites to burst out of the earth and towards Kirby. Kirby does the same thing too; he slams his hand into the ground and stalagmites grow towards Jirobou. The stalagmites of both sides clash with each other and shatter into pieces.

Jirobou digs his nails into the earth and lifts up a large piece of earth, and hurls it at Kirby. Kirby does the same thing too. Both the pieces shatter in midair when collided with each other.

"His power is equally strong as mines!" thought Jirobou. "Unless I activate my curse, no one will get the upper hand!" Then black markings appear all over his body.

"Eh? What's with you?" asks Kirby. "I guess it makes no difference. It is just tattoo, right?" They both jump at each other and strike with their fists. This time, however, Kirby gets punched onto the ground. "Whoa! He became stronger!"

"With my curse activated, my powers have greatly increased!" explains Jirobou. "A junk ball like you has no chance against me!"

Kirby slams his hand into the ground and performs that stalagmite move again. Jirobou also do the same thing, except his stalagmites are bigger. When both attacks collide with each other, Jirobou's stalagmites shatter Kirby's and continue heading for the puffball! Before Kirby can avoid it, it knocks him high into the air.

"YAAAAAAAAH!"

As Kirby falls towards the ground, Jirobou punches him really hard into a rock.

BANG!

The rock shatters and a big bump grows on top of Kirby's head. "Ow… That hurt a lot…" The powerful blow made him lost his copied ability too.

"You cannot defeat me, you junk! Prepare to meet your doom!" says Jirobou.

"I cannot lose here!" Kirby takes out a green chili (which is spicier than red ones) and eats it in one gulp. He turns red all over and begins sweating heavily, and then he breathes out a huge burst of flame!

"What!" The flame hits Jirobou and engulfs him. "WAAAAAA!"

Kirby takes out a green pill with an exclamation mark imprinted on it. "I should give this a try."

FLASHBACK

"This is a metal pill," says Dr. Mario, holding a green pill in his hand. "Iron is its main ingredient, and if you eat it, your body will have the attributes of an iron! You will become very strong and heavy, but with the sacrifice of your speed and jumping skills. The effect lasts for only one minute."

END OF FLASHBACK

"I must take him out in one minute if I want to give this a try! I only have one of these!" says Kirby, and then he swallows the pill. His body immediately turns silver and shiny, and he even feels his weight increasing. "Cool!" He gulps in air and tries his best to fly up high into the air, despite his increased weight.

Jirobou quickly performs the stop, drop, and roll method to put out the flames on his body. "That puffball! I'll show him… Hey, where did he go?"

Kirby transforms into a 10-ton weight in midair and drops straight down onto Jirobou's head, crushing him into the earth.

SMASH!

"Yeah! I did it! I defeated him!" says Kirby happily, still in weight form. Suddenly, he feels someone lifting him into the air. He looks down and is shocked to see Jirobou still standing!

"What kind of power do you have that forces me to go into Level 2 Curse?" says Jirobou. His skin has turned reddish brown and he has grown a long bushy orange hair.

He hurls Kirby onto the ground and raises his feet to stomp him. "I'm safe in metal form!" thought Kirby, but he is wrong, because Jirobou's stomp sinks him into the earth. "Ow…"

Jirobou pulls him out and punches him in the face, sending him into a large boulder lying there, and it shatters when Kirby flew into it.

"Your chances of winning are zero this time!" says Jirobou. "I am invincible in my second level curse!"

Kirby takes out his Boomerang Dagger and throws it at him, but the fat villain easily catches it by the handle and throws is aside. "Your measly weapon won't help you either!" He grabs Kirby and trashes him around.

"YEOW! OW! OUCH! OOCH! WAAAA!"

And then he kicks him like a soccer ball, sending him into another rock, and you guessed it—it shatters.

"If it weren't for the effects of the metal pill, then I could've died…" says Kirby painfully. "But now it's over… The effect is gone…"

Jirobou walks up to him and raises his fist. "Now die!"

Kirby sees the Boomerang Dagger just behind Jirobou, so he quickly gets up and rolls between his legs just before the fist slams down. Kirby quickly picks up the dagger and is about to throw it when Jirobou suddenly punches him into the air. He flies up high and then falls back down with a crash.

CRASH!

"Don't bother struggling! It's less painful to just die right away!" says Jirobou.

"I cannot… die here…" says Kirby. "I must return to my friends…"

"Your friends are all junks! They are insane to mess with Master Orochimaru's plan! They are just going to their graves! People who do these are the worst of the junks! They are better off dead!"

"Don't make fun of them! We Smashers can beat you up easily!"

"I laugh at those who say these kind of silly stuff! How can you be strong if you're only a worthless puffball? These kinds of species are only good for cute looks! What's the use of someone who cannot protect itself? Hahahahaha!"

Kirby is very mad, and he shouts, "DON'T TALK LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING! YOU ARE THE JUNK YOURSELF!"

"How about you? You call yourself strong? What a lame thing to say!"

Anger takes over Kirby's mind. He has never been this mad before. He is being underestimated because he's a puffball! He will not allow this kind of racial thought to pass through like this! In his anger, he remembers about what CH said—the second level weapons! The beatings he took earlier hurt him a lot, and blood just has to in presence. He takes some of the blood that is trickling down his lips and holds tight his Boomerang Dagger and says that long phrase back in chapter 44. It was a good thing CH passed out a sheet of paper with this written on, in case they forget. After saying this, the Boomerang Dagger transforms into a large actual boomerang! It's as tall as a grown man, taller than him!

"I won't give you a chance to do anything!" says Jirobou. He pounces at Kirby and pins him to the ground just as he was about to throw it. The boomerang still flies out from Kirby's hand though, and it flies through the air by itself!

Kirobou raises his hand and is about to bring it down on him. "Die!"

Unknown to him, the giant boomerang flies back to Kirby and its pointed end stabs through Jirobou's back and out through the other side! "ACK!"

Kirby is shocked beyond words, for his life was just flashing before his eyes. Jirobou falls to his knees and coughs out a large amount of blood. "Ugh… Argh… Ar…" And then he falls face first onto the ground. His skin returns to its normal color and the long hair disappears, leaving him bald again.

Kirby pulls the boomerang out of his back and it returns to its normal dagger form. "That was close! This weapon is so powerful! Or was it I'm just lucky?"

Kirby's stomach growls and he sits onto the floor. "Boy… I'm hungry… I didn't bring any food… Looks like I'm done for…"

At least there's a good thing to celebrate for; Kirby has won the battle!

TO BE CONTINUED…

One is down! Only 3 more opponents to go! Or is it? And what do you think of the fight? I'm never good at these parts…
