I'd like to apologize to everyone who expected faster updates...I'm sorry. (Note to self: publicity stunts like this are great ways to attract reviewers...oh shoot, you guys didn't read that!)

On a more serious note, I'd like to thank all you guys who did review! So without further ado...THANK YOU!

Xanxi: I know people will hate me for this...but Lola isn't a reference to the anime as much as he is to...something else, which will become very clear...very quickly...um...thanks for reviewing:D

Giant Enemy Rabbid: Thank you for reading my story...and reviewing!

Shining Riku: Well...heh heh...I finally got around to reading your story (it's called Supremacy, if anyone is curious and would like to check out a good Smash Bros. fanfic). Thank you for being more faithful a reviewer than I!:)

Wizard of Pie: ...Update POW3R! Just kidding, like I said, sorry for making you guys wait so long. I will try to update more frequently...TRY...

Gooey: Heh, you're absolutely right! I should go and fix that. I probably will after uploading this chapter...which by the time you read this it'll have already been done...hmm...there's a thinker for ya...

Anyways, I hope this chapter was good enough to wait for. It's probably the least serious chapter I've written so far, just to mix things up, but I don't think I took it to far...I hope.

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 16

Worst. Song. Ever.

"It's JUDGEMENT DAY for you, Girly-Men!" yelled Lola in his thick accent.

Kirby and Rocky looked at each other then burst in laughter. Kirby spoke between the laughs. "Girly-Men? You have a girl's name and you call US Girly-Men? And what's with the awful parody voice anyways?"

Lololo answered. "Well, he's either insane, or we've landed into the 4Kids dub of this fanfiction!" Everyone gave Lololo an odd stare at this statement. Lololo then realized his mistake. "Oh shoot…kinda broke the, uh, fourth wall there, huh? Well, this is kind of awkward…"

Kirby decided to end the awkward moment. "Anyways…we were just about to pummel you guys…so Rocky, shall we?"

Rocky glanced to Kirby. "Um…yes."

Lalala interjected. "Hah! You have no idea who you're dealing with! Lola is one of the strongest Dreamlanders out there! Lola, show them by throwing one of those crates at them!"

Rocky lunged at Lola before he had a chance, but Lola caught him and began to toss him into the air. "You think you are tough? I warm up lifting weights heavier than you! Now, prepare to be TERMINATED!" Lola threw Rocky into another pillar. Coincidentally, this pillar was also where Poppy Jr. and Knuckle Joe were tied up. The two, already coming out of their daze, were fully awoken by the pillar's impact.

"Jeez!" shouted Knuckle Joe. "What's going on Rocky?"

Rocky slowly got back up. "We're…attempting to take the Sparkling Star from Lololo and Lalala…if you and Poppy Jr. would be so kind as to help…it would be greatly appreciated." Poppy Jr. and Knuckle Joe looked at each other, then back at Rocky and nodded.

"Kee kee kee…Wait, my guests!" Broom Hatter materialized before them again.

Poppy Jr. sighed in frustration. "This is getting really old! We just kicked your sorry butt along with all your pathetic ghosts!"

Broom Hatter laughed wickedly. "Kee kee kee…oh…did you?" Several more Chuckys, Hurleys, and Two Faces appeared. "Your friend is on his own!"

Knuckle Joe scoffed. "More of these guys? Hah, this won't take long."

Broom Hatter still didn't seem worried. "You poor fools…perhaps these creatures were too weak to defeat you…however, my newest creatures may prove more powerful. Lola! Why don't you open that large crate and unleash my newest creatures." Lola, who had just flattened Kirby under his foot for the third time, broke the crate open unhindered. What came out was one of the greatest horrors in all Dreamland. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. DESPAIR IN FRONT OF THE GORDOS!" The creatures were blue-colored spheres surrounded by yellow spikes. Touching a Gordo inflicted one of the most excruciating pains known to Dreamland. All movement stopped as the Gordos began to slowly move throughout the room. Though the creatures were seemingly unintelligent, they were smart enough to distinguish between friend and foe. The Gordos surrounded Kirby and his friends. "Well, Lololo, Lalala, you two can take those Sparkling Stars while Lola and I finish off these intruders."

"GET TO THE CHOPPA! GYEIIEGH!" shouted Lola.

"…There is no chopper…" said Lalala. "Why is your stunt double such a freak?"

"And to think that he wanted to go into politics…" said Lololo. "Well, take care of them, you two. We'll be back soon."

"Oh no you don't!" Rocky leaped past the Gordos and chased Lololo and Lalala through the doorway. Kirby quickly followed him.

Poppy Jr. threw a set of small bombs at the Gordos. When the smoke cleared, the Gordos were still there, without a scratch. Knuckle Joe threw a few smash punches with the same results. The two glanced at each other with some worry. "Well…" began Poppy Jr. "I think we're in trouble…a lot of trouble…"

"They're almost as much a threat to them as they are to us," observed Knuckle Joe. "So you know what we gotta do. I'll take the big guy, you take the hag." The two leaped past the Gordos and headed toward their respective targets. Knuckle Joe jumped in front of Lola. "Alright! Get ready for a beating!"

"I am! For YOURS!" Lola smashed his palm at Knuckle Joe. Joe jumped out of the way, causing Lola to momentarily lose his balance.

"Alright! Here it comes! Vulcan Jab! Vulcan Jab!" Lola fell down. "Now for the finisher! Overhead Throw!" Knuckle Joe grabbed Lola, and in one swift movement, tossed him over his head straight into a Gordo.

"GYEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH!" Lola began to run around the room because of the excruciating pain.

Poppy Jr. was having some difficulty dealing with Broom Hatters ghost minions. For each one he destroyed, another would take its place. Several Gordos were still slowly tailing him. Several ghosts had hit the Gordos, but he still couldn't get to his target. "GYEEIIIIIGH!" Lola rushed by Poppy Jr., almost knocking him down, and crashed straight into Broom Hatter. The two fell down, knocked out.

Poppy Jr. sighed as Knuckle Joe walked up to them. "I think Kirby needs our help now. Let's leave these guys with their Gordos. If they're lucky, they won't accidentally bump into one." The two ran through the door that Kirby, Rocky, Lololo, and Lalala had gone through.

(Meanwhile)

Rocky trailed the two actors as they made their way out the castle. However, they turned one last corner before Rocky, and when Rocky turned, he quickly came out to an outdoor balcony and was met with a blow to the head from a crate that Lololo and Lalala had dropped on him. Rocky just stood there for a second. "…Tell me…did you really think that would work? I mean, it was a small wooden box for crying out loud. And what's in it…microphone equipment? You two were never the brightest bunch, but please, this is just sad."

Kirby quickly caught up with Rocky. "Do we have 'em?"

Rocky nodded. "It looks like you have two choices. Give the Sparkling Stars to us, or…Kirby will put an end to you two in his own unique way."

Lololo and Lalala looked at each other and chuckled. "Oh, you mean his vacuum power? If you hadn't noticed, we're quite a bit higher than you two are. I believe we'll just be on our way now."

Rocky sighed. "Well…you've taken several things out of consideration with that statement. Kirby…why don't we see what happens when you swallow that equipment on the ground."

Kirby nodded and inhaled the microphone equipment. Kirby jumped up. A pair of headphones floated toward Kirby. He grabbed them, spun around and put them on. He then began to dance around a little as a microphone also flew into his hand. He also spun around as he grabbed it, danced a little more, then landed on the ground smiling happily.

Everyone stopped to see what would happen. Kirby didn't seem to be acting normal as he just continued to thoughtlessly smile. He then brought the microphone to his mouth and began to sing. "KIIIIIIRBY, KIRBY, KIRBY, IT'S THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW! KIIIIIIRBY, KIRBY, KIRBY, HE'S THE STAR OF THE SHOW! HE'S MORE THAN YOU THINK HE'S GOT MAXIMUM PINK! KIIIIIRBY, KIRBY, KIRBY'S THE ONE! HE'S COMIN' RIIIIIIIGHT BACK AT YA! HE'S COMIN' RIIIIIIIIIIGHT BACK AT YA! GIVE IT ALL THAT YA GOT! TAKE YOUR VERY BEST SHOT, HE'LL SEND IT RIGHT BACK AT YA FOR SUUUURE! YEEEAAAHHH! HOW CAN I HELP YOU KING DEDEDE? I NEED A MONSTER TO CLOBBER THAT THERE KIRBY! THAT'S WHAT WE DO BEST AT N.M.E.! YOU BETTER GET IT WITH A MONEY BACK GARUNTEE!"

The song continued as everyone within hearing distance grabbed their ears in pain. Lololo and Lalala dropped the stars in the chaos. "Oh HOW could anyone's singing voice be THAT ANNOYING! And why does he have to sing THAT song! That song is an abomination! Thanks A LOT 4KIDS!" shouted Lololo.

"Lololo! Fourth Wall! Even though you're right!" said Lalala.

Rocky looked at Kirby. "Kirby! We got the Stars…now please sto-"

"OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH KIRBY, KIRBY, KIRBY! SAVING THE DAAAAAY! KIIIIRBY, KIRBY, KIRBY, HE'S HERE TO STAY! DON'T BE FOOLED BY HIS SIZE, YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES! KIIIIIIIRBYYYY! KIRBY! KIIIIRBYYYYY! KIRBY! KIRBY! KIRBY! KIRBY, KIRBY, KIRBY'S THE OOOOOONNNNEEEE! RIGHT BACK AT YA! YEAH!"

As he sang, the entire castle began to crumble. Knuckle Joe and Poppy Jr. barely got out as the castle collapsed. Kirby then went back to normal and looked around, completely oblivious to what had just happened. He saw a dazed Rocky standing next to him. "Rocky…what happened."

"Don't…EVER…swallow…a mike…AGAIN!" Rocky then fell over, twitching.

Knuckle Joe and Poppy Jr. found the other two quickly. "Kirby, what happened back there?" Asked Poppy Jr.

"Don't know. But we got the Sparkling Stars. So I guess we won…"

(Meanwhile)

Meta Knight had watched the battle by way of Meta-Droid recording it. Kirby is advancing at a much higher pace than I could've anticipated. "Thank you, Meta-Droid. Will your systems be able to repair themselves?"

"Damage from sound waves are minor. There is no need to slow primary functions."

Meta Knight nodded. "Alright…approach Kirby and his comrades. Tell them to head toward the nearby port at Orange Ocean. A boat will take them to the Float Islands Resort. That is all."

"Command confirmed. Proceeding to accomplish mission, immediately. Is there any need to inform Kirby of possible attacks by King Dedede?"

"…No. I've already assured that there will be. But I don't want Kirby to see it coming this time."

"Affirmative."

(Meanwhile)

"Whaddya mean you can't get no feedback? I wanna see what happened to Kirby, right now!" Dedede was yet again throwing a fit at the likelihood that Kirby had two stars.

Waddle Doo sighed. "We're very sorry sire. It appears that the Spyhopper was destroyed by whatever Kirby did."

Dedede growled. "That punk's got two stars now! That's unexpectable! We gotta get that third star."

Waddle Doo explained, "But sire, we don't know where it is! And we also have to deal with a possible spy!"

Dedede again growled. "That darn Kirby! We gotta take him out!"

"We'll do what we can, sire," said Waddle Doo. "In the meantime, you'll be glad to know that the doctor is on his way."

"You done told him what's goin' on?"

"…Not yet sire…" Waddle Doo saw that King Dedede was becoming, yet again, infuriated. "B-but I'll get on it right away!"

Dedede got up and began pacing around the room, Waddle Dee following him and fanning him. There's gotta be someway I can trap him…he's gotta have some weakness. This time, I gotta send someone I can count on to take out Kirby…"

Dedede walked over to his throne and pressed a button. A screen came out of the walls and Sir Kibble appeared on it. He kneeled down. "What does his majesty wish?"

"You been hearing about Kirby's powers right?"

"I have your highness. I have been preparing a strategy against him ever since he became our enemy. I haven't found a perfect formula…but I believe I'm getting closer."

"Well good. Cause I'm gonna send you to get the third Sparkling Star when we find it. I'll let you know when to go. You get ready. Can you take Kaboola?"

"I'm afraid not, Sire. Repairs are still being done. It will be ready tomorrow morning though."

Dedede scowled. "We can't wait that long. You just gonna have to go without it."

"As you command, Sire."
