Chapter 6: Rematch with Marx and the Quinking
Kirby, Ty, and Shazza stared down the Quinking and Laser Marx and they were waiting to see who would make the first move.
Laser Marx- Better watch the female. Taunt her about her child again and she might deliver another low blow, Quinking.
Quinking- Shut up, Marx.
The Quinking let out a roar that almost blew Ty and Shazza off their Bunyips and Kirby almost off Robobot.
Shazza- How should to go through this?
Kirby- Simple, Marx is mine!
Ty- And I guess that leaves the Quinking to me. Shazza, Susie, Fluffy, and Julius still in the line of fire. Try and get them out of here before we accidently hurt them.
Shazza- But possum, I can help you and Kirby!
Ty- Sorry, but if it were Fang, wouldn't you want to get him out of danger.
Shazza- You make a good point, possum. But I'll be back once I get them to safety.
Shazza began moving her Battle Bunyip MK2 towards Susie.
Laser Marx- And where do you think you're going?
Laser Marx fired a beam at Shazza, but Ty blocked with his Shadow Bunyip's laser.
Ty- This is between Super Mario Brothers' Team and Tabuu's followers.
Quinking- If you insist. She won't get far once we're done with you two.
Ty fired his Shadow Bunyip's laser at the Quinking, but a force field appeared and blocked the laser.
Quinking- Nice try, Ty! But Master Tabuu repaired my shield that can block projectiles that was damaged during that my fight against Shazza and Sly while you were at the Lost Hex with Mario and Sonic. Not only that, but my force field is stronger than ever!
The Quinking shot a stream of fire from his mouth at Ty, but Robobot managed to scan the flame and absorb it to turn into Fire Robobot.
Laser Marx- Hey, that's not fair, Kirby! Using that oversized tin can of yours! At least the Quinking is as big as those machines in his real form while I got nothing to back me up!
Kirby- Why are you complaining, Marx? You have Tabuu's power you have access to.
Fire Robobot knocked Laser Marx to the ground with a shot of fire and made Laser Marx lose his laser copy ability. Fire Robobot tried to fire another shot of flames at Marx, but Tabuu's mark appeared on Marx's left wing.
Marx- Thanks for reminding me, Kirby! How could I ever forget Master Tabuu's gift?
After Marx activated Tabuu's power, he opened his mouth and swallowed Fire Robobot's flames.
Marx- Oooh…! Maybe a little too spicy…
Then Marx transformed into Monster Flame Marx.
Monster Flame Marx- Hmm…I don't know if it was the boost from Robobot or Master Tabuu's power, but it seems I got the super ability flame over the regular. Eat this you retards!
Monster Flame Marx spate out a huge burst of fire in the shape of a dragon and knocked Kirby, Ty, and Fire Robobot to the ground. Fire Robobot lost its copy ability and acted like it has shut down.
Kirby- Oh no, Robobot! Come on, turn yourself back on!
Quinking- Would you watch it there, Marx! You almost hit me with that attack and nearly destroyed my force field!
Monster Flame Marx- Stop your wining and just use Master Tabuu's power as well.
Quinking- Fine, I will.
Then Tabuu's mark appeared on the Quinking's left claw and Tabuu's power flowed through him as well.
Ty- Nice going, Kirby. Reminding them about Tabuu's power.
Kirby- I know, my bad! But Marx should suffer the same side effects I do when I use my super copy abilities. For me, once the power wares off, I immediately drop to the floor from exhaustion. The same thing should happen to Marx once the Monster Flame wares off.
Ty- But we're still in a tight spot and Robobot has shut down.
Kirby- I know, this is a real pickle we're in.
Before Ty could think of a solution, the Quinking charged for Ty and knocked him and his Shadow Bunyip to the wall. Kirby turned to look at Monster Flame Marx and Kirby was barely able to duck under the flame Monster Flame Marx spate at him.
Monster Flame Marx- How I've waited a long time for this, Kirby! Finally making you pay for ruining all my fun!
Monster Flame Marx spat another stream of fire at Kirby. Thinking fast, Kirby inhaled stone debris nearby, turned into Stone Kirby, and used the stone form to protect himself from the fire. When the flames stopped, Stone Kirby quickly changed back to regular Kirby and acted like his body was overheating.
Kirby- HOT! HOT! HOT!
Monster Flame Marx- That was some sharp thinking. But can you do it again?
Monster Flame Marx spat another large stream of fire, but a large buzz saw got in front of it and managed to block the flames. Kirby looked and saw Robobot was back up and was in its Cutter form.
Kirby- Good to see you're back up, Robobot.
Cutter Robobot nodded at Kirby.
Monster Flame Marx- Your stupid robot won't protect you forever, Kirby!
Meanwhile, Ty and his Shadow Bunyip were being pinned to the wall by the Quinking. Before the Quinking realized it, the Shadow Bunyip wrapped its arms around his body like it did in "Attack of Tabowser."
Ty- I got you know, Quinking!
Quinking- You think I'll fall for the same trick you used to beat me in a previous fanfiction? Are you going to be in for a surprise…
Suddenly, the Quinking transformed into Dark Matter (final boss in Kirby 2) and was now small enough to slip out of the Shadow Bunyip's grip. Before Ty could react, the Quinking in the form of Dark Matter swung a sword at Ty. Ty tried to dodge, but the Quinking sliced off the Shadow Bunyip's left arm. The Shadow Bunyip was still functioning, but it was sparking from where the left arm used to be and its inner parts were showing.
(On the other side of the workshop)
Shazza was no longer in her Battle Bunyip MK2, but was Julius, Fluffy, and Susie out of danger as best she could. However, when she turned back to see how Ty and Kirby were doing, she saw they were currently on the ropes.
Shazza- Oh dear! Hold on you guys! I'm com…
Before Shazza could begin rushing to help them, she saw a hand holding a shiny looking hammer right in front of her face. When Shazza looked up, she saw a mysterious figure in a black cloak standing right in front of her.
Shazza- What the…
Mysterious figure- No time! You want to help them? Then hand this to Kirby!
Shazza took the shiny hammer.
Shazza- Ok…but who are…
When Shazza turned to look at the stranger again, he was now gone without a trace. Shazza quickly returned her focus to Kirby and tossed the shiny hammer towards him.
Shazza- Kirby, catch!
Kirby looked up and saw the shiny hammer and managed to inhale it. Then Kirby transformed into Grand Hammer Kirby.
Grand Hammer Kirby- WOW! Thanks, Shazza! POYO!
Monster Flame Marx continued to spit those massive flames at Cutter Robobot and Cutter Robobot was blocking with those buzz saw arms. But Cutter Robobot was taking damage trying to block those flames. Then they both saw Grand Hammer Kirby jump into the air with that giant hammer of his.
Grand Hammer Kirby- Robobot, move out of the way! I got it from here.
Cutter Robobot rolled out of the way as Grand Hammer Kirby swung his hammer.
Monster Flame Marx- Oh ****!
Grand Hammer Kirby slammed his hammer over Monster Flame Marx like a nail to a hammer. When Grand Hammer Kirby lifted his hammer, Monster Flame Marx lost his super copy ability and was now as flat as a pancake. However, Marx was still twitching in pain.
Grand Hammy Kirby- Good thing you got those cutters, Robobot. I'm interested in trying some Marx pizza! HAHAHAHA!
Meanwhile, Ty was still trying his best to operate his Shadow Bunyip against the Quinking, even though it was currently missing an arm. Using Dark Matter's form, the Quinking used the swords he was now wielding to slice most of the wall to shreds. After dodging for a bit, Ty noticed he was standing next to the workshop's junction box.
Ty- Hmm…Hey Quinking, why don't you just give up? You'll never hit me with those flimsy toothpicks!
Quinking (in Dark Matter's voice)- We'll see about that!
The Quinking charged for Ty, but Ty pushed the eject button on his Shadow Bunyip. Ty jumped completely over the Quinking. And before the Quinking realized it, one of the swords he was holding pierced the junction bock.
Quinking (in Dark Matter's voice)- Uh ho…
Then the Quinking was electrocuted from all the electricity conducted from the junction box he stabbed and he lit up like a turkey dinner. Then the Quinking changed into his original form and collapsed to the ground, twitching in pain from the shocking experience he just had.
Ty- Struth! That was close!
Then Ty saw Grand Hammer Kirby, Cutter Robobot, and Shazza rush up to him.
Grand Hammer Kirby- Looks like we finally dealt with Tabuu's followers.
Shazza- Is the Shadow Bunyip ok?
Ty- It's not damaged, but it certainly won't be easy to repair, that's for sure.
But before they could celebrate their victory, they heard the sound of clapping coming from behind them. Grand Hammer Kirby, Ty, and Shazza turned around and saw a videophone placed just behind them. On the screen was Tabuu who was sitting in an armchair with one leg crossed over the other while he gave them an applaud for their victory.
Tabuu- Oh yes, well done you two. I see you've once again defeated my worthless lackies.
Ty- You don't sound too upset that you foiled your plan, Tabuu.
Tabuu- You think my plan has been foiled? Sure, those two are finished, yes, but who said I was finished? I've been saving one last surprise. Hehehe…you'll love this one…
Tabuu snapped his figures and two things happened. First, Marx and the Quinking were pulled back into Subspace. Second, a large portal opened up suddenly in the sky.
Shazza- What's happening?
Ty- I don't know, but it can't be good…
Out of the portal came a large white mechanical cylinder that also looked like it had wings.
Grand Hammer Kirby- It can't be…the super computer, Star Dream?!
Star Dream- Star Dream…fully operational!
