Double-0-K and Super Spy Kirby

Chapter Three: Forbidden Forests

"Since when was the first level hard?" Jacob said as he evaded a rapid fire Shotzo.

"I don't know! Maybe SOMEONE must've put it on Extra Mode!" Josh ducked to avoid a Sir Kibble's blade, which soon hit him from behind.

"Oh yeah…sorry 'bout that."

"You just made this journey a whole lot harder…"

They continued through the forests, and started to notice all the different things that were wrong with the game.

"Man I hate the people that made this game. It's the exact same thing as Nightmare in Dreamland…except it's a lot harder." Jacob was complaining already, and they haven't even been 'playing' for ten minutes.

"THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT! STUPID MUSIC! FIND THE STEREO! QUICK!" Josh started to yell as he ran away, screaming all the way. Jacob started to follow, not realizing they were attracting in nearby enemies.

In the Fountain of Dreams…

"Is that high enough?" The Star Orb said.

"A little louder…and turn up the frequency all the way. NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND THE ANNOYING MUSIC OF GREEN GREENS! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!" Nightmare laughed as he completed his first plan of trying to stop Jacob and Josh.

"Uh…yes. Mwahahahaha." Orb tried to let out an evil laugh, but he was horrible at it.

"STOP!" Nightmare snapped. "It's not dramatic when the sidekick laughs evilly. Now fire the doomsday ray at Popstar."

"No can do. One: We just used it to blow up Floria. It will take a week to recharge. Two: We ARE in Popstar."

"No, we're in a crappy game! So on the other hand…you better go charge that doomsday ray in a week or Popstar's won't be the only thing that will explode!"

"Yes sir!" Orb said as he flew away into a different room, taking shape of a human figure.

Back in Green Greens Forest…

Josh frantically searched in trees, on the ground, and even in the sky. He finally gave up. "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I'm going to die here if that music doesn't stop any sooner!"

"Hmm…that's it! Impossible! This is real life, and a game! We're supposed to do the impossible! Start digging!" Jacob exclaimed and tried to dig through the dirt.

"This is getting us nowhere…if only we had something to dig with." Josh gave up once again and sat down, only to be hit by a very fast moving animal.

"Ah-ha! A Gaw-Gaw! Get it!" Jacob leaped toward it, but Josh stopped him in midair.

"Don't you remember? This game is a fake! It could have rabies!"

Jacob ignored Josh as if he was a statue, and leaped right over him. The Gaw-Gaw bounded toward Jacob, striking him with his claw, which made him fly back. Josh, just sitting there, watched as Jacob tried to inhale the Gaw-Gaw, but it threw an exploding barrel at Kirby and he inhaled that instead, and it exploded in his stomach.

"Now I really AM wondering who made this game." Josh said as he wearily stood up, and tried to help Jacob, but he fell down because of the treacherous music.

Jacob once again tried to inhale, and when he was about to swallow another exploding barrel that was heading his way, he instantly exhaled, making it explode on the Gaw-Gaw. Before it could vanish into thin air like all enemies normally do, Jacob inhaled the Gaw-Gaw.

"Well at least you got the ability. Now start digging!" Josh said.

Jacob slowly turned around, and as soon as Josh saw him, he could tell that what he inhaled wasn't a Gaw-Gaw… "I knew that thing had rabies! Jacob! You got to snap out of it!" Josh yelled over the eerie music.

Of course, Jacob couldn't hear. He ran toward Josh with claws wide open, ready to strike. Josh jumped out of the way, looking around for something useful he could use to get Jacob knocked out, but not killing him. After running around for a while, evading his attacks, an idea popped into his head. He ran up to a tree, waiting for Jacob to run into him. As soon as he got close enough, he jumped in the air, and Jacob ran flat into the tree.

"Now for the second part of the plan…" Josh said as he picked Jacob up.

He ran toward the spot where the softest dirt was and used Jacob as a shovel. It worked out perfectly, since he still had his claws. Soon he got deep enough and found something.

"Wow! A bunch of Red Diamonds! I'll just take a few…" Josh picked up some of the red diamond but they instantly crumbled into dust and a blast of light emerged from them, knocking the ability out of Jacob.

Josh continued on digging and destroying red diamonds while doing so. Finally they reached a secret room.

"Wow! It's a miracle! Not one, but TWO treasure chests in one room!" Josh exclaimed and rushed toward them. Using Jacob's claws as a key, he opened them both with ease.

"And it looks like we have a Max Tomato and a…CD player! MWAHAHAHA!" Josh instantly smashed the CD player with Jacob's claws and relaxed on the soft ground, throwing the tomato in Jacob's mouth. It slid down his throat, instantly reviving him.

"Where are we? And what happened to the music?" Jacob asked, looking around him.

Josh only smiled as he pointed toward the smashed CD player. "We better get going now. You never know what Nightmare's up to." He stood up and climbed up the pit, with Jacob following.

"Where do we go now?" Jacob asked.

"I think I have an idea…" Josh pointed to a cannon. "We just need to find a way to light the fuse.

"I got it! I still feel feverish after eating Kawasaki's curry rice. I should be able to breathe fire still!" Jacob ran up toward the fuse and used the last of the curry rice's effect. They both quickly hopped in, and were blasted off.

They landed in what appeared to be a rocky canyon with nowhere to continue.

"A dead end…and no way to get back." Josh said.

"Remember, do the impossible!" Jacob reminded. "See that waterfall? That's got to lead somewhere…"

They jumped down and landed in another rocky canyon, and many Poppy Bros. Jr. riding on apples were running around.

"What's with all the freaks riding apples?" Josh said, forgetting about why there were so many.

"Don't you remember? The Poppy Bros?"

"Oh yeah…but where's the Poppy Bros. Sr.?"

Josh was knocked away as a big bomb struck him and he was paralyzed for five minutes. Jacob dodged all the bombs, but since the Poppy Bros. Sr. was bigger and faster, he couldn't inhale them.

Looking for a way to distract him, Jacob leaped on top of a Snooter, which got extremely mad like a Snooter would, and started to chase Jacob. He than jumped over Poppy Bros. Sr., and the Snooter ran into him. While it was distracted, Jacob quickly inhaled one of the bombs that were thrown at him. He started to place bombs all around the oversized Poppy.

As soon as Poppy killed the Snooter, he turned around, only to be blasted off by the bombs. He landed in the rushing river nearby, trying to swim back, but the current was so strong it carried him away.

"I'll be back! And you'll pay for this!" And that was the last he heard of Poppy…for now.

Jacob picked up Josh and dunked him in the water so he could regain his normal state – and it worked. In no time they were on the trail again, until they reached a warpstar.

"Should we get on it?" Jacob said as he stared at the strangely colored Warpstar.

"You never know – this is a fake game, as I've said before. It could lead us to…"Josh was still feeling woozy from the paralyzed state he was in.

"Last time you mentioned that it wasn't a bad idea. So I say we get on."

"Fine…"

They both hopped on the warpstar and were carried off to a different part of the Green Greens Forests.

"Don't come any closer," a voice moaned.

"Who goes there?" Jacob yelled out, stepping forward a bit.

"Take one more step and I will be forced to kill you." The voice continued.

"Well what can you do? You're just a voice that's probably in my head!"

"Uh…Jacob?" Josh said, staring in the sky.

"Shh! Not now! I have to find out who this thing is!" Jacob took another step, when he was nearly blown away by a big spit wad and realized he was standing right in front of Whispy himself!

"I warned you…" Whispy said as he prepared to fight.

Josh hid behind a bush, planning a sneak attack because Whispy didn't know he was there, while Jacob repeatedly threw bombs at Whispy. All the bombs were halted by the rapid fall of horrible tasting apples.

There must be a way to stop his apples from falling…or at least a way to destroy it for real…if only I could cut it down. Wait! That's it! Cutter!

Josh thought of a way to destroy it. Remembering back when Sir Kibble hit him with a cutter, put of it was still stuck on him. He pulled it off and inhaled it. He jumped out, and quickly used the cutter to destroy the leaves off of Whispy. The apples temporarily couldn't fall, and Whispy was immune to attacks for that short period of time.

Jacob, taking advantage of the opportunity threw a few bombs at Whispy, but unfortunately his wood was a lot tougher, and it barely did anything.

"You make me mad…" Whispy said as he started to lift his spiky roots in the air, trying to smother Jacob.

"Dodge them all for now!" Josh instructed. "I need to charge up a powerful enough cutter to go clean through him."

"How can you do that?"

"Do the impossible!"

While Jacob was jumping over the roots, another Snooter, mad at the death of his fellow Snooter came up and knocked Jacob to the ground. Right before he was about to get stabbed, Josh released the cutter, making a hole that went straight through him.

"TIMBER!" Josh yelled as Whispy fell over, and a gold diamond appeared where he used to stand.

"What is that?" Jacob rushed in after he punted the Snooter into a nearby lake.

"I don't know…but I have a feeling we need to collect these." Josh said as Jacob approached it and put it in his pocket. Instantly a warpstar came down in front of them.

"Well…you know what this means. Time to go to Ice Cream Islands!" They both hopped on the warpstar, thinking it would take them to Ice Cream Islands…but were they ever wrong!
