KaZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!! WHAT? Is it possible? Another chapter ALREADY? YES! Chapter 15 is up! I told you guys you'd get more chapters!

Xanxi: Since the anime only had a handful of the full list of Kirby abilities...guess I had to do that. Glad my high paced ghost busting chapter worked out. :D

Anyways, here's Chapter 15

Disclaimer stuff: Kirby and all characters that happen to fall under that franchise are owned by Nintendo and Hal. I don't care if you use any original characters that I make, however, it'd be nice if I get some credit for them. Enough legal junk, let's get on with the story.

Chapter 15

It's Good to Have Money

Trila was awoken by Meta Knight's voice. …oh, must've dozed off…"What is it Meta?"

"Trila, do you have anything new?"

"Yeah. It looks like Dedede is still actively searching for the third Sparkling Star. What I'm concerned about is what his plans with them are. It seems that he aims to harness their power."

"He won't find it. What about their airship?"

"I think they've almost finished their repairs. Do you want me to slow them down?"

"Yes, I need another day. Think you can slow them down that much?"

"That won't be too hard." Trila took out her trident, silently leapt across the rafters and headed off toward the airship dock.

Sir Kibble approached Kaboola. Capsule J was overseeing the final repairs. "Will we be ready soon?"

Capsule J nodded. "We'll be ready to take flight in a few minutes." A large explosion rocked the docking bay. When the smoke cleared, a huge gaping hole replaced the engine. "What happened!"

One of the mechanics ran up to him. "We don't know. This shouldn't have happened, sir."

"…His majesty will not be happy about this. I'm heading out now. Let me know when you complete the repairs…again…" Sir Kibble walked out of the room.

Capsule J turned to the mechanics. "Find out what happened. Contact Waddle Doo, right now."

Waddle Doo's image appeared on a large screen. "I understand that the repairs will soon be complete."

"Unfortunately not, sir. We seem to have met with complications. We were attacked. Probably by the same person who had attacked us the other night. I recommend that we increase palace security. We may have an intruder."

Poppy Jr. yawned as the group continued to walk through the dank interior of the castle. "Is anyone else exhausted? We've been at this since dawn…and we didn't get any sleep last night."

"I definitely don't recommend sleeping in here…unless you want to be set upon by our friends again."

"Meh…anyways, how long have we been in here?" asked Poppy.

"I don't know…but this place really is a maze…everything seems to look the same…" said Kirby. He looked around the small corridors. "I don't even think we could find a way out of here if we wanted to…anyone else noticed that we seem to be…alone in here?"

Knuckle Joe nodded. "Yeah, man, I bet they're just waiting somewhere for us."

Kirby was starting to feel a little weary. "Anyone…else feel really tired?"

Poppy Jr. turned to Kirby. "I just said…that…woah…you're right…I feel…really…tired…" Poppy Jr. fell to the floor, quickly followed by Kirby.

Knuckle Joe and Rocky quickly turned around. "Kirby! Poppy! What's going on? Wait…wait…it must be…sleeping…" A faint yellow-green gas was flowing through the room. Knuckle Joe fell to the ground.

Rocky looked around. "Oh my…this does not bode…well…" Rocky also fell asleep.

A group of small, yellow spherical creatures wearing pink nightcaps ran up to the group and dragged them away.

Kirby opened his eyes slowly. He was in a rather large room. There were boxes all over the place. He was tied up to a pillar. Suddenly Lololo floated up in front of Kirby. "So, you're the one we're supposed to capture? Alright, well we got what we want from you, so after we deliver these two Sparkling Stars to King Dedede, we'll let you guys go."

Kirby shook his head to wake himself up some more. "...Wha? How did you...capture us?"

Lololo chuckled. "Heh heh. Broom Hatter happened to have a group of Noddies here. And as you know, Noddies can emit a rather potent sleeping gas."

Lalala waved Lololo over. "Hey, Lololo, look at this one. Doesn't he look like…Rocky?"

Lololo floated over. "Rocky? Hey yeah. Looks like he's coming to! Rocky, what are you doing with these guys. How low class of you!"

"Ah…Lololo, Lalala, how have you two been doing? I've just been watching over these guys to make sure that they didn't get in over their heads. Hmm…well it seems like they did anyways…oh well."

Lalala chuckled to herself. "I guess so! Sorry for having to tie you up like this. No hard feelings right?"

"Oh, of course not."

Kirby turned to Rocky. "What are you doing, Rocky! They're the enemy!"

Rocky turned annoyingly back to Kirby. "Please, Kirby. Perhaps they are your enemy on your heroic crusade against the King, but frankly, the only reason I came with you guys was because I was worried that Knuckle Joe over there would get himself killed."

"Rocky, why are you talking to these two like they're your friends?"

Lalala floated over to Kirby. "That's because he is! He costarred in all three of our "Adventures of Lolo" movies! Rocky's an old friend!"

Lololo floated behind Rocky. "You want out pal?"

Rocky nodded. "Why thank you Lololo! Nothing would please me more than to help you get the Sparkling Stars back to King Dedede."

Kirby growled. "Rocky! How could you?"

Rocky turned back to Kirby. "Why, this whole situation is your fault! You know what, this wouldn't be necessary if you hadn't decided to play the hero in the first place. King Dedede had decided that I was his enemy because of what you've done. When Knuckle Joe rescued me, I had decided to move as far from Dreamland as possible. However, when Meta Knight told me where you were and what you were doing, I knew that if I proved my loyalty to his majesty, I would be a free man again." Kirby was silent after this. "Well, Lololo, Lalala, shall we?"

The duo nodded. The two began to float off. "Wait," called Rocky. "Before we go, I need to do one more thing." He turned, ran at Kirby and jumped. Kirby closed his eyes, waiting to be crushed by Rocky. Instead, Rocky crashed into the pillar, knocking it down. Kirby was now free.

Lololo and Lalala furiously turned back. "Rocky! You traitor! Don't expect to get a part in our next movie!"

"I'm crushed. Now, we'll be taking those Sparkling Stars." Rocky and Kirby moved toward Lololo and Lalala. "…unless of course, you'd like to fight the two of us. Of course, since you're both about half the size of the two of us…I think it'd be much simpler to give up now."

Lololo and Lalala turned to each other and laughed. Lalala turned back to Rocky. "Do you think we weren't ready to stop you guys? We're MOVIE STARS! Not only that, we're ACTION MOVIE STARS! You can't beat us because we're freaking RICH! Bring it on! Hey Lololo, why don't we introduce them to our friend!"

Lololo smirked and nodded. "Right…Kirby, I'd like to introduce you to a friend of ours. Meet my stunt double, Lola!"

A purple person, who looked similar to Lololo and Lalala, except he was about twice the size of Kirby, jumped into the room. He also had yellow hair. "I'm going to PUMP YOU UP! GYEIH!!!"

Review please. We'll soon be moving onto Float Islands...soon...(/chapter)
