Matt (Guest): Someone has been reading my profile….
I was really excited for this one, just because of how much is going to change. But the changes don't start till next chapter. So let's get this one out of the way then! Owen is 19.
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Owen exclaimed as he woke up from his nap. He then noticed Kirby was still asleep. "Daddy! Daddy, wake up!"
"Owen? What are you screa-" Kirby began to say, only to notice it himself. To start, there was now a giant spaceship hovering over Popstar. Five mechanical arms came out of it, digging into the planet. The whole planet was being mechanized!
"How did this happen? What's going on? What do we do?" Owen frantically asked as he began to hyperventilate. Kirby jumped onto him and gripped his face.
"Owen! Calm down!" Kirby ordered. Owen's breaths slowed down a bit. "Let's head for that first arm and see if we can get any answers on the way,"
"And if not?" Owen asked.
"We smash the arm and anyone who gets in our way!" Kirby declared.
"Alright!" Owen agreed.
"Owen! Kirby!" The heroes wiped around. It was Dee.
"Dee! Good to see you are okay!" Kirby said as Owen scooped his friend into a bear hug.
"Great King was worried that you guys were captured!" Dee said.
"What's going on?" Owen asked as he set his friend down and they started to walk again
"We aren't sure, but we think it's alien invasion!" Dee said.
"Are the others okay?" Kirby asked.
"Um, Great King's castle was partly destroyed, Meta Knight tried to attack but was shot down-" Dee began.
"Wait, META KNIGHT'S down?" Kirby asked. Dee nodded his head. "These guys may be tougher then I thought,"
"I hope he's okay," Owen said. "Do you know where he is,"
"He went down by what citizens are starting to call Gigabyte Grounds. We haven't heard from him since," Dee explained. "The animal buddies hunkered down in their forest. From what we've heard, they are doing a good job fending these invaders off. The Squeak Squad, Dark and Shadow, and Taranza are both helping with getting everyone to safety. What's left of Great King's castle can't hide everyone. Magolor was called in, but he's busy right now. He said he'll help when he can. Lastly…" Dee looked like he really didn't want to say this last part. "Adeleine, Ribbon and Gooey are MIA. We've tried to get in touch, but we haven't heard from them. Marx is also AWOL,"
"We'll make sure to keep an eye out for them," Owen promised.
"Also, Great King sent me to help you!" Dee revealed.
"Well then, c'mon buddy!" Kirby said as he patted Dee on the back. But before they could keep going, they heard the sound of mechanical clanking. They all slowly turned around to see a scary sight.
A robotical Whispy Woods.
His whole body was nothing more then a machine and his roots had been turned into legs.
"RUN FOR IT!" Owen cried. They could most likely fight him off, but they wanted to learn more about what the heck was happening first.
"This must be our standard "collect this, it's important" object," Kirby said as he, Owen and Dee looked over a blue cube with circuit pattern.
"I mean, it does look important," Dee said, still a little out of breath from that chase.
"Let's grab it and go before Whispy finds us!" Owen said, still very out of breath.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing!?" Kirby demanded of a small robot riding a mech suit.
"I believe a better question would be: what are you doing?" The robot asked. "I am an employee of the Haltmann Works Company, here to bring prosperity to this planet,"
"Yeah right!" Owen said he pointed his sword at the robot. "You guys are ruining everything! Look what you did to Cookie Country!"
"Ruin?" The robot asked. "I believe you are mistaken. We have made the area prosperous! But if you continue to interfere, I will be left with no choice but to eliminate you!"
"Bring it on!" Kirby challenged. The robot raised a fist and tried to slam it down on the heroes, but missed the mark. It didn't go much better from there for it. Kirby was quickly able to land a lucky shot and destroy it, leaving the mech suit behind.
"Hey daddy, try to ride it!" Owen said.
"Okay, sure!" Kirby agreed. He hopped into the robot, but something changed. The robot changed into a pink from its former grey and gained what looked like Kirby's face. There was also a second seat added for Owen.
"H-h-how did you do that?!" Dee exclaimed.
"I don't know!" Kirby said. "Oh hey! Here's a manual!"
"Why would evil aliens have a manual in their evil robots that daddy can change?" Owen asked.
"I have no idea…" Kirby said as he began to read. "Oh hey! It's says that if you are powerful enough, you can change the robot just by sitting in it!"
"Awesome!" Owen said.
"That should make this much easier!" Dee cheered before he noticed something. "Hey Kirby, why is there an extra seat?"
"It must be for Owen!" Kirby realized once he saw the size.
"Awesome!" Owen said again as he hopped into his chair. "Sorry you can't ride with us Dee,"
"It's fine. I'm still a little freaked out by it anyways," Dee said as he looked over the robot again.
"It's says it's a Robobot," Owen said as he looked at a little panel in front of him.
"Okay then!" Kirby said. "Robobot, let's go defeat that Haltmann Works Company!"
"You can get copy abilities with that thing?!" Dee exclaimed when the Robobot scanned an enemy and changed forms.
"It's says they are called modes," Owen revealed.
"How do you get that, but I don't?" Kirby asked.
"Co-pilots tell the main pilots about what they have to do," Owen said with a shrug.
"Hey, is that a train?" Dee asked as he pointed with his spear.
"Man, they really messed this place up!" Owen complained.
"All the more reason to take them down!" Kirby pointed out.
"Ya know, if it wasn't running through this place, I wouldn't mind keeping that train," Owen said.
"Yeah, it wasn't half bad. Would make getting around Popstar much easier!" Kirby agreed.
"Um, guys? Dee asked as a shadow loomed over. Kirby turned the Robobot around to see a giant freakin robot looming over them.
"WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!" Owen wailed. Suddenly, a giant rock slammed into the robot, stunning it. It noticeably had a face. A hamster face. That could only mean.
"RICK!?" Dee, Kirby and Owen exclaimed. Sure enough, the boulder turned into the hamster.
"What a rush!" The hamster said as he stretched before turning to face his friends. "G'day Owen, Kirbs, Dee. These blokes are makin' quite a mess of this place!"
"You said it Rick!" Dee agreed.
"And we are getting real sick of it!" Coo said as he flew down. The other animal buddies quickly joined, even Kine, who was somehow staying upright.
"Nice mech suit guys!" ChuChu said as she and Pitch looked it over.
"Yeah! Super cool!" The little bird said.
"Guys, focus!" Coo said. "We've got a robot to smash!"
"You got it!" Nago agreed.
"Save some for us!" Kirby said as he readied the Robobot.
"This is the third one of these they've sent after us," Kine revealed. "Called 'em...Gigavolt, I think?"
"Then let's take Gigavolt down!" Owen said. Once the battle was underway, it was clear the only advantage Gigavolt had was it's size. Not only was it out numbered, he couldn't do much beyond slamming his hand down. Kirby and Owen were quickly able to unscrew his head, destroying him.
"Good to see ya mates again!" Rick said as he and the others animals headed back for the forest.
"Let's hang out on better terms next time," Kirby said as he, Owen and Dee continued on their way. (If you can spot the joke, you win a prize)
"Let's take this guy down!" Owen said as he, Kirby and Dee confronted Whispy Woods, or as he was now known, Clanky Woods.
"Machine or not, I'll bet he's not much different from normal ol' Whispy!" Kirby taunted.
"We can do this!" Dee agreed. Sure enough, Clanky's first few attacks were easy to dodge. Just some missiles they could easily jump over, rocks he drilled up, and dropping exploding pieces of himself. However, he had much more tricks up his sleeve this time as, when he fell off the platform they were fighting on, he turned it into a full circle. Now, he could dash around the ring along with drilling up rocks. But he had one final trick up his sleeve. He used the screw in the middle of the arena raise the walls, trapping Dee, Owen and Kirby in a much smaller area.
"He's got us trapped!" Dee panicked.
"Don't give up yet!" Owen ordered. Clanky was now able to fire drills from the walls, try and stab the trio with his drills(which got stuck if he missed), and drop parts of himself again, only this time, they could be hit back. Even with all his new tricks, it still didn't take long for him to be defeated.
"Whew!" Kirby said as he wiped some sweat off his brow. "That was the toughest Whispy has ever been!"
"Hey check it out!" Owen said as he pointed into the distance. One of the arms from the spaceship deactivated!
"Only four left!" Kirby cheered.
Clanky Woods is best Kirby first boss. I will fight you on that! Anyways, I did kinda lie when I said nothing new was happening this chapter. So surprise animal buddies cameo! I kinda feel like the invasion would be an "all hands on deck" thing for the heroes of Popstar, hence why the Squeak Squad, Mirror World duo and Taranza are helping people escape Popstar for now. In other words, expect a lot of cameos. Anyways, see you next time!
