Chapter 4: The New Invention!
Scene 4: [Cut back to the 8 Kirbies still duking it out with each other. Nate and Katie follow Ren and now, Lynnia as they jump over hills. Nate knocks Ren downward, and all eight of them continue to attack each other until Nate, Etan and Katie get a decisive punch on the other five. Nate and Lia then firmly grasp and shake their hands, signifying a good match. Cut to Cappy Town, with Nate, Etan and the other 6 walking together.]
Nate: That was so much fun! You six definitely showed us how much hard work it takes when fighting, and the training really helped.
Etan: Yeah. Oh! Y'know, with how much we've bonded today, I think we should come up with a group name. Okay, hear me out, I'm thinking "the Kirby Rangers". [they look at him weird] Needs work, I know.
Nate: "Name pending." Anyway, thanks so much for helping us with our abilities! But, now that we've mastered them, the real question is… what now?
Ren: Well… [the 5 look at each other] I think it's time we had a talk about you two.
Etan: What do you mean? Is it serious?
Rodano: Yes and no. Well, mostly yes! What we're saying is that everyone has their own strengths, but ALSO, their own weaknesses. And you two are no different. We had the same problems in the past ourselves, but we've learned to control them.
Lynnia: You know the saying, "With great power comes great responsibilities"? Well, it couldn't be anymore true here.
Lia: Oh, yeah. And this is VERY important. Those skills of yours are special, but now you two need to know who you'll use them on, and to take very good care of them.
Stacy: In other words, there's a lot of evil baddies and villains out there who are even stronger than us. You may not see it, but it's true.
Rodano: So it's best to not use your powers all willy-nilly until something bad happens in this town or anywhere here in Pop Star.
[A Cappy runs very quickly, scared, about to share news to the inhabitants of the town]
Cappy: EVERYONE! I have some bad news…
Ren: Well, can you save the news for later, dude? We're trying to have an important conversation here.
Cappy: Please, listen, this is also very important!
Ren: Ugh, fine. What is it?
Cappy: Well, you see… [takes a massive breath] KIRBY'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!
[Hearing the tragic news, every single inhabitant in Cappy Town goes into panic mode, screaming constantly. Cut to Mayor Len Blustergas and all the Cappys in Kabu Canyon.]
Mayor Blustergas: No need to get excited, citizens. The government is working tirelessly to figure out where Kirby has been taken to.
[Lololo angrily goes up to the mayor.]
Lololo: What are we gonna do?!
Lalala: Lo, please settle down.
Mayor: Don't worry. We've got it under control.
Lololo: [grabs on the mayor's shirt] Under control?! Our only protector of the town has gone missing! You call THAT under control? Huh?! DO YA!? [two police Cappys take him away] The end is near, Mayor. THE END IS NEAR!
Phan Phan: That guy's on to something. What are you hiding from us, Mayor? Do you have some secret? Is the end really near? [everyone shouts and argues again]
Mayor: [to himself] We're doomed…
Kabu: SILENCE! [everyone immediately stops arguing] The mayor's right; if we all just calm down, everything will be solved. Now, who has seen Kirby, and where has he been taken to?
[Bandana Waddle Dee runs all the way to the crowd.]
Bandana Waddle Dee: Dedede did it! It was my has-been boss and his snail servant. He teamed up with President Haltmann, and took Kirby to his factory for something very important and dangerous!
Cappy Inhabitant #1: Ugh, why is he always up to this kind of stuff? Why does he even deserve to be a king in the first place?! Someone needs to stop him, and they need to do it now!
Cappy #2: And who would that be?
Cappy #1: Well, it certainly isn't going to be me! [everyone starts arguing with each other once again]
Kabu: Wait! We shouldn't blame the king for this scheme. Of course, Haltmann might be the real perpetrator of this cause, and forced Dedede to work for him, so maybe you [refers to Bandana Dee] should go off to get Kirby back, let the king realize the error of his ways, and everything will return to normal.
Bandana Waddle Dee: I would, but he probably wouldn't want me in his sight. Kirby's my best friend and over the years, I always begged Dedede to give him a chance, but him being the king, of course, he wouldn't believe me, and got me kicked out of his castle just for being with someone I care about, but he does not! He can be very cruel sometimes… What should we do?!
Kabu: Well, that means someone else will have to and get Kirby back from Dedede and Haltmann. Anyone volunteer?
[Everyone mutters to one another, wondering who should go save Kirby. Nate gets an idea.]
Nate: I'll go. [everyone gasps]
Etan: Nate, are you crazy?! You'll get killed out there on your own!
Rodano: Meaning you have to leave Cappy Town if you're doing this… by yourself.
Lynnia: You're not even packed!
Nate: I understand you're all scared, and nobody else has to go. And you guys (referring to Lia, and the Kirbies) have showed me and my best friend, Etan, something incredibly special with all of the paid off training earlier, but I have to go find Kirby. He's our only hope.
[As he walks away to go on his journey, Etan, and the others look at each other and decide to tag along with Nate.]
Ren: Well, you're not getting all the glory. We're in this together.
Etan: We got your back.
Stacy: Indeed!
Rodano: Count on it!
Katie: I am ready to save Kirby!
Lynnia: Um… yay.
Lia: We're all behind you, Nate.
Kabu: It's a tough journey; be careful and come back with our hero safely.
Nate: We will; we promise!
Etan: When we return, you'll all remember the name, "I.G.L.S.P; the International Justice Lodge of Super Puffballs!" [everyone oddly looks silently at Etan] We're working on a group name, okay?
[They leave and head off to save Kirby. Meanwhile, we go back to the Haltmann Works Company. The Waddle Dees are working in the background while Dedede and Haltmann are having a conversation.]
Haltmann: [putting the final touches on his new machine] And… finished! Care to test it, your majesty?
[Dedede tests the still unseen invention and it works perfectly]
King Dedede: Wow! Nice work, Max Profitt. You weren't kidding when you said you programmed it to the last detail I gave to you.
Haltmann: Now, we travel down to Cappy Town, and use our new robot on the people to plot our revenge all thanks to my new little plan! [laughs evilly]
Dedede: Um, don't you mean "OUR new little plan?"
Haltmann: Oh, yeah, whatever.
Dedede: Yeah, your little "Robobot Treaty" you made for us is going perfectly with this plan, and with it, NOTHING can stop us!
Haltmann: Couldn't have said it better myself, Dedede, old chum! Now it's time to see what our little creation can really do.
Waddle Dee #1: Um, your highness, you might wanna see this! [Nate, Etan and the others have entered]
King Dedede: What?! More Kirbies?!
Waddle Dee #2: INTRUDERS! INTRUDERS! [everyone goes into alert mode]
Waddle Dee #3: It's an invasion!
Waddle Dee #4: SIRE! What do you reckon we should do now?
King Dedede: We're going to have to take care of things by force. Waddle Dees, do whatever you must to prevent these 8 from approaching us!
[The Waddle Dees salute to Dedede and all (in groups) go to the front of the 8 Kirbies now in the entrance of the Haltmann Works Company.]
Nate: Whoa! What are all of these Waddle Dees doing here blocking us?
Lia: Must've been King Dedede's work!
Etan: [facepalms] Ugh, I can't with that guy...
Ren: Oh, come on! We don't have time for this! We have to save Kirby!
Lynnia: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!
Rodano: Looks like we're gonna have to do this the HARD way!
Nate: Heh, shouldn't be too hard with me and Etan's new and mastered abilities!
Stacy: Great! Let's do it!
Kirbies: FOR KIRBY!
[The battle starts with the hoard of Waddle Dees stampeding over Ren and Lynnia leaving them weakened on the ground. Just as four more Waddle Dees are about to stomp them both, Nate, Etan, Rodano and Lia enter the battle and kick them away. Lia then starts at a mad dash towards a group of Waddle Dees on runs them over, one which she hits repeatedly and shoots a blast at it. She now starts shooting more blasts at the Waddle Dee army before ramming groups of Waddle Dees with explosions at contact. The screen then turns to an over the shoulder view where Lia runs and demolishes most of the enemies she sees. The run ends where she makes an electric explosion to defeat a group of Waddle Dees. Lia jumps into the air and beats down the remaining Waddle Dees. One of which gets stuck in the railing where Stacy, Ren, and Rodano are. Rodano gets it out with a kick from his foot. He then swings his tail in the face of danger (literally) while Ren comes and beats his opponents with his speed powers. Rodano spins and Stacy uses her staff to hit him into the enemies. Rodano pops out, takes out another Waddle Dee, and decides to use a new team-up move with Ren.]
Ren: Aw, yeah, this is happening!
[Ren, and uses Rodano like a machine gun, which wipes out a bunch of Waddle Dees. Meanwhile, Lynnia finds a parasol, and attempts to use it.]
Lynnia: Stay back! I will use this on you all!
[The Waddle Dees laugh at Lynnia. She lunges it toward her, launching some water driplets on their eyes as the Waddle Dees scream in agony. Seeing the power, Lynnia keeps attacking with the umbrella, twirling it around in various directions. It turns into the giant Chumbrella, knocking out more Waddle Dees above her. She now wedges it into the ground and uses it to circle around and hit enemies. Lynnia pulls it out of the ground and turns it into a spinning drill, defeating many enemies at once.]
Lynnia: Hmph, I should keep this!
[Then, Etan shape-shifts into Grand Wheelie, knocking out more Waddle Dees in the form of a bowling strike. With what seems to be the last of the Waddle Dees, all eight Kirbies use a finisher knocking out all the remaining Waddle Dee, marking the end of the battle. They now run to the main base where Haltmann and Dedede are hiding.]
Nate: Alright, Dedede, end of the line!
Haltmann: Oh, we're screwed...
Dedede: Oh, ya think?!
Lia: You better tell us where Kirby is, or you three will regret it!
Escargoon: [chuckles evilly] Tell 'em, sire.
King Dedede: Well, then, it's a good thing we knew someone would show up to stop us; to witness our new invention!
Nate: New invention?
Haltmann: Correct you are! Let us introduce you all to… Mecha Kirby! [Haltmann presses a button, and a machine opens to finally show their new invention. Cut to the now roboticized Mecha Kirby, who has the evil smile shown from the silhouette from before, with a red jetpack on his back, metallic stubby hands, and Kirby's red shoes how have screws on them. And King Dedede's bunny logo is on Kirby's chest. The eight heroes are shocked with terror.]
Etan: WHAT?! No! You… roboticized Kirby?!
Haltmann: Oh, yes! He now works for us! Isn't he glorious?
Rodano: Okay, I'll admit, he does look pretty cool, but that doesn't change the fact that he's our only hero on this planet and that you can't stop us from saving him!
Haltmann: Oh, really. Prove it then!
King Dedede: Yeah, bring it on! [gets out his hammer] I'll clobber y'all to squishy pieces!
Etan: Yeah, well, you're still outnumbered 8 to 3! Alright, Kirbvengers, let's take 'em down!
Lia: Wait, I'm sorry, "Kirbvengers?"
Etan: Well, I don't see any of YOU coming up with any group names!
King Dedede: Enough! Let's just get this out of the way. After them, Mecha Kirby!
