Gamelover41592: That question mark meant something.
Okay, so I don't know if you know the theories about Shiver Star(It's a post-apocalyptic Earth and that Haltmann Works had something to do with it), but I am bringing them both into this chapter. Anyways. Let's go.
"I already miss the volcano. Least that was warm!" Dedede complained as soon as they set foot on the next planet, Shiver Star. It was covered in ice and snow.
"You cold Owen?" Ribbon asked.
"A little, but nothing to bad," Owen replied.
"But you shivered," Adeleine pointed out.
"Oh that. I...don't like it here. I don't know why though," Owen admitted.
"Ya probably don't like it because it's freezing! Let's find those shards and get outta here!" Dedede said.
"Aren't you a penguin? Don't penguins like the cold?" Kirby asked.
"I'm a special penguin!" Dedede protested.
"I love sledding!" Owen cheered. The group had crammed into a bobsled and were sledding down a large hill with lots of igloos lining up.
"I see another shard!' Adeleine called out. Ribbon flew out to grab it before flying back in.
"I hope we are fast enough!" Ribbon said. "I don't know how long until Dark Matter destroys it!"
"He won't. We promise!" Kirby replied. Ribbon smiled and blushed a little.
"Okay, how can we stand up here?" Adeleine asked. The group had taken to the sky to find the next shards.
"Just be thankful we can," Dedede said. "Don't think any o' would wanna fall through,"
"You said it, Great King," Dee said.
"Hey, look down there!" Owen called as he used his little wrap star to fly down and grab a shard.
"Good spotting, Owen," Kirby congratulated his son.
"Thanks daddy!" Owen said with a smile.
"Everyone stand back!" Kirby warned as he used his lightning rod powers to get another shard.
"Hey Kirbs? Since when could ya combine yer powers?" Dedede asked.
"Huh, oh! I always could, it just takes a lot of work knowing what works together that I normally just like keeping it simple," Kirby said. "And Owen is still learning,"
"But you said I learn fast!" Owen protested.
"That doesn't mean you aren't learning," Kirby fired back. Owen suddenly took an interest in his shoes
"What's with this place?" Dedede asked. The group had traveled into a toy factory.
"From what the queen tells us, people used to live here. But for some reason, they left one day," Ribbon asked.
"Why did they leave?" Owen asked.
"We don't know. But the queen says that the factories still run even though no one is here," Ribbon explained.
"I don't blame 'em for leaving. This place is a wasteland," Dedede said gruffly.
"Yeah, who want to live here?" Dee agreed with his king.
"Maybe it was nice before?" Adeleine offered.
"Yeah, for we know it could have been," Kirby pointed out.
"Free toys!" Owen cheered. Clearly, that was the factory had been making.
"You take one," Kirby said, causing Owen to groan.
"Okay, this is dangerous!" Dee wailed. After finishing up in the toy factory, the group traveled into a different one. This one was clearly much less welcoming and fair more dangerous.
"Owen, watch out!" Kirby cried as he shoved Owen out of the way of a large mallet.
"Maybe H made it," Adeleine said as she pointed at a large golden H on the factory wall.
"I think that is a company. The...something...works company I think," Dee said.
"And how do ya know that?" Dedede asked.
"I looked it up in my spare time," Dee replied.
"Huh," Dedede said. "Sometimes I forget ya can even use the computer,"
"Do you even know how to use a computer, Dedede?" Kirby asked.
"Course I do! Why do ya think I have one in the first place!?" Dedede snapped.
"Giant robot!" Owen cried as said giant robot activated itself.
"Gah! Who would build something like this?!" Dee wailed as he jumped over a laser.
"Whoever used to live here!" Dedede pointed out as he used his hammer to smash in one of the robot's weak spots in.
"Don't let up, you guys!" Kirby called out as he closed his claw like hands around another one of the robot's weak points. Finally, it looked like the group had beaten the robot until.
"Run!" Ribbon cried.
"It's chasing after us!" Adeleine wailed.
"Try to hit its attacks back!" Kirby called out as he swallowed a missile and fired it back at the robot.
"Sounds like a plan!" Dedede said as he used his hammer to bat the missiles back.
"Let me try something!" Adeleine said as she quickly painted a shield, which blocked the missiles and sent them back. After a few more minutes of that, the group finally caused enough damage to make the robot shut down.
"ERROR, ERROR!" It called out until it finally shut down all the way.
"We did it!" Owen cheered, raising his double sided laser sword(I wish I could just it a lightsaber) into the air. Suddenly, the crystal opened up another portal, revealing a planet smothered in darkness.
"What planet is that?" Dee asked.
"That's Ripple Star! My home! Dark Matter must have taken it over!" Ribbon cried.
"Aw, cheer up! We're gonna help ya get yer planet back!" Dedede assured her.
"You really will?" Ribbon asked. "But you all already did so much to help me…"
"But we're friends! Friends always help each other...at least that's what daddy tells me…" Owen replied.
"Well, he isn't wrong," Adeleine said. "We'll help...even if I am really scared of Dark Matter,"
"Well, if the Great King will, then so will I!" Dee said.
"We are gonna help Ribbon, no matter what!" Kirby declared as he started to rush into the portal, only to trip and for everyone else to trample him. With a sigh, Ribbon picked him up and flew inside.
Do you like/spot my two little Easter Eggs? Both of them are theories that deal with what happened to Shiver Star. Anyways, next time, we are off to Ripple Star for the final? level of the game.
