A/N: Battle scenes are so hard to write but it's finally finished. Enjoy.
As Kirby began to slow the warpstar as it neared the Halberd King Dedede finally managed to climb back onto the rear-right wing, with Bandana Dee hopping off his back onto the left.
Furiously, Dedede placed his hand free hand onto Kirby's head. "What did I tell you about slowing down?"
Kirby shook his head to remove his hand and looked back at him. "Cut that out! I'm trying to concentrate here!"
Dedede leaned back and mumbled something under his breath before widening his eyes and pointing towards the Halberd. "INCOMING!"
Both Kirby and Bandana Dee looked where he was pointing to see Heavy Mole MK. II heading towards them at max speed.
"Watch out!" Bandana Dee shouted.
Quickly, he jumped onto the front-left wing and pulled up on it causing the warpstar to make a hard turn right.
Kirby pushed him back onto the rear wing before stabilizing the warpstar. "What are you doing? We could've fallen off!"
Bandana Dee shrugged while Kirby glared at him. "Sorry…"
Focusing his attention back on Heavy Mole, who seemed confused by Bandana Dee's maneuver and was still flying to where they previously were, Kirby turned the warpstar and began to approach him from behind.
"How good is that hammer of yours?" Kirby asked as he looked back at Dedede.
"Plenty good." Dedede replied confidently before gripping it with both hands and pointing the head with his trademark yellow V symbol at Heavy Mole. "Watch."
Pressing one of the small red buttons near the handle, the front of the hammer opened up and shot a small yellow missile towards Heavy Mole's rear.
"Aha!" Dedede shouted triumphantly. "He doesn't even know what he's got coming!"
Unknown to him however, Heavy Mole's internal radar detected the missile and he quickly did a loop just as it neared to avoid it causing Dedede's jaw to drop as he watched his missile quickly begin to plummet into the ocean below.
Vul (Happily): Fools! They've underestimated Heavy Mole's capabilities!
Ax: I knew those upgrades would come in handy.
Meta Knight: Perhaps it's too early to celebrate.
Meta Knight appeared to be right as in a fit of rage Dedede unleashed a barrage of similar missiles at Heavy Mole just then.
"Let's see a loop save you now!" He shouted from the warpstar.
Quickly, Heavy Mole applied its brakes and turned around to face the one coming assault and unleashed a series of Dygclops just in time to individually take down each missile.
Dedede's jaw dropped once more as his hands feel to his sides. "You've got to be kidding me…"
In retaliation, Heavy Mole applied its brakes once more and shot its front blades at the warpstar, though Kirby continued to fly towards the oncoming projectiles.
"What are you doing?" Bandana Dee asked as he waved his arms about. "Turn!"
"Get ready with that hammer Dedede." Kirby informed as they approached the blades.
Tightening his grip once more on the hammer with both hands, Dedede focused his attention on the two blades heading towards them and at the last possible moment Kirby forced the warpstar into a sharp turn.
"Take this you heap o' metal!" Dedede shouted as he struck both blades with the hammer as they turned, sending them flying back at Heavy Mole at an even faster speed.
Without enough time to pull off a better maneuver, Heavy Mole tilted to the left causing the first blade to return to its position on his left side while the second blade struck the rear right blade, cutting it off.
Vul (Shocked): What have they done?
Mace (Crying): This isn't good!
Vul (Angrily): Pull yourself together! Trident! What's taking so long?
Trident: Kabula's almost ready for action. The crew just needs a little more time…
Vul (Angrily): Argh!
Outside in the battle, Dedede was quick to declare victory.
"Ha-ha!" He shouted as he raises his hammer in the air. "That ought to teach him a lesson."
"I wouldn't be so sure Great King." Bandana Dee replied. "He's coming back for more!"
Sure enough, Heavy Mole activated its thrusters and was flying towards at a fast pace.
"What now?" Dedede asked as he looked at Kirby.
"I'm not sure…" He replied.
As Heavy Mole neared them it slowed down for a moment to shoot out four Dygclops before resuming its approach, sending Dedede and Bandana Dee into a panic.
"Well think!" Dedede cried.
"And fast!" Bandana Dee added.
As the Dygclops and Heavy Mole approached Kirby shut his eyes to think for a moment.
"Argh! This is it!" Dedede shouted.
Just then Kirby opened his eyes and narrowed them before flying the warpstar higher, just narrowly avoiding a collision with Heavy Mole though the Dygclops remained on their tail. Then Kirby jumped to the back of the warpstar and began to inhale causing the Dygclops to stop and attempt to flee but all four were quickly inhaled by Kirby.
"Fire away!" Dedede cried as he pointed triumphantly towards Heavy Mole.
In response, Kirby spat out a large yellow star that flew straight into Heavy Mole, causing it to spin backwards a few times after impact.
Meta Knight: …
Ax (Crying): Oh no! That hit looked like it hurt!
Trident: Don't lose hope yet, Kabula is prepped and ready!
Vul (Happy): What are you waiting for then? Let's blast those three to bits!
Suddenly a loud rumbling noise came from the bottom of the Halberd attracting Kirby and co.'s attention.
"What on Popstar is that?" Dedede asked.
"D-Down there!" Bandana Dee shouted as he pointed at the bottom of the ship's hull.
Emerging from the bottom of the ship was Kabula but like Heavy Mole she wasn't without a few new upgrades. Placed on her sides behind her eyes were two cannons and her main cannon seemed larger and had two blatzies mounted on its side as well.
"Kabula?" Dedede asked as he looked at her closely. "What has that Meta Knight done with my airship?"
"Looks like she's been upgraded." Kirby replied.
"U-Uh Kirby, we have a situation here…" Bandana Dee said nervously as he tapped the pink warrior's shoulder.
Kirby turned around to see that Heavy Mole and shot off another round of Dygclops towards them.
"Incoming!" Dedede shouted as he watched Kabula shoot from all five of her cannons.
Kirby turned to see the oncoming threat and quickly pulled the warpstar up resulting in both series of projectiles destroying each other.
"That was close…" He sighed.
"Incoming… again!" Dedede shouted.
Kirby looked at both sides to see yet another volley of fire coming from both enemies. Quickly, he tilted the warpstar downwards ending with the same result as last time, though Kirby was quick to fly off into the distance a bit in order to hold off another attack for a while.
"Two enemies?" Bandana Dee asked aloud. "What are we suppose to do now?"
"I… I'm not sure…" Kirby answered sadly.
"Well you better think of something!" Dedede order.
Once more Kirby shut his eyes to try and think.
Ax: What the heck is he doing?
Mace: Maybe he has some trick up his sleeve.
Vul: What's taking them so long? We should've won this fight by now!
Meta Knight: … (Come on… This shouldn't be difficult…)
Kirby once more opened his eyes and narrowed them, seeming to have formulated a plan. Turning the warpstar towards Heavy Mole he began to approach him.
"Get those missiles ready Dedede." Kirby ordered.
Dedede nodded his head and gripped his hammer tightly.
"Get ready… fire!" Kirby shouted once they were within range of Heavy Mole.
Immediately, Dedede began to fire a multitude of missiles from his hammer only to have Heavy Mole shoot them down immediately with his own barrage of Dygclops.
"What was that suppose to do?" Dedede asked as Kirby began to circle the warpstar around Heavy Mole.
"Just keeping firing, trust me." Kirby replied.
Dedede simply shrugged and resumed firing, seeming to trust him.
"What am I suppose to do?" Bandana Dee asked.
"Watch Kabula." Kirby answered. "Tell me if she's getting close."
"Gotcha." Bandana Dee replied before fixing his view on the far off blimp.
After a few passes around him, Heavy Mole seemed to become annoyed at Kirby's tactics and shut his eye before blowing steam out of all four of his exhaust ports. Opening his eye once more, Heavy Mole proceeded to send out its blades towards the warpstar.
"Stop shooting and hang on!" Kirby advised.
Both Dedede and Bandana Dee listened and gripped down on the warpstar just as Kirby did a loop causing the blades to fly past them. With the blades now in front of them Kirby once again opened his mouth and began to inhale sucking in all three of the blades.
"Yes!" Dedede exclaimed.
Acting fast, Kirby swallowed the blades then quickly jumped into the air and emitted a flash of light before landing back on the warpstar with his signature yellow 'duck' hat, complete with the cutter blade resting atop it.
"Let's do this!" He declared.
"K-Kirby! It's Kabula!" Bandana Dee exclaimed.
Looking in his direction, Kirby easily caught sight of Kabula flying head on towards them while unleashing shot after shot of cannon fire. Kirby leaned forward and increased the speed of the warpstar and flew straight into the assault, sending both Dedede and Bandana Dee backwards once again.
"What do you think you're doing?" Dedede shouted over the cannon fire as he held onto the warpstar in order to not fall off.
"Watch!" Kirby shouted back.
Just then Kirby slowed the warpstar down and threw his cutter blade towards the space beside Kabula.
"Wha?" Dedede exclaimed. "You missed!"
Kirby shook his head. "Watch."
Once the blade reached its maximum distance and began to return to Kirby the way he had thrown it caused it to fly right besides Kabula's hull and cut off her left cannon with ease.
"Ha! Take that you traitor!" Dedede spat.
Seeming to respond to the loss of her cannon, Kabula began to start firing gordos from her main cannon at them. Once more Kirby pulled up on the warpstar to avoid the attack.
"Well that was easy." Dedede stated.
Just then, as if by strange coincidence, the bottom of the warpstar's base was struck by a stray Dygclops sending Kirby, Dedede, and Bandana Dee off in different directions. Kirby was quick to inflate himself and immediately flew back towards the warpstar and repositioned himself on it just as Dedede did the same after flying back himself.
"Wait…Where's Waddle Dee?" Dedede asked after he looked around.
"Hey! Hey guys! Down here!" They heard Bandana Dee shout from below.
Both Dedede and Kirby looked down below the warpstar to see Bandana Dee hanging onto the back of Heavy Mole while he furiously did a series of loops and rolls to try and shake him off.
"Help!" Bandana Dee shouted.
Dedede gave a face palm. "Always getting into trouble that guy…"
Bandana Dee began to point up towards the front of the warpstar. "Watch out guys!"
Both Kirby and Dedede looked forward to see Kabula opening her front side in order to launch a large missile bearing her likeness. Kirby once more forced the warpstar downward towards Heavy Mole in order to avoid the missile.
"Get ready to let go!" He shouted to Bandana Dee.
Kirby continued to fly the warpstar downward and as they approached Heavy Mole he threw his cutter blade at him and managed to strike one of his propellers, cutting it off. With only one propeller Heavy Mole began to rapidly lose altitude and spin around erratically causing Bandana Dee to lose his grip.
"Aaahhh!" He screamed as he began to fall down towards the Orange Ocean alongside Heavy Mole.
Just then Dedede grabbed Bandana Dee's hand as Kirby flew the warpstar upwards.
"Gotcha!" Dedede declared as he helped him back onto the warpstar.
Down below, Heavy Mole began to unleash its remaining arsenal of Dygclops, sending off his final one just as he plummeted into the Ocean.
Ax (Shocked): Kirby's taken out Heavy Mole!
Mace (Shocked): He made it look so easy!
Vul (Surprised): Wha!
Sword: …
Vul (Angry): Kabula better pick up the slack!
Meta Knight: …
With the final wave of Dygclops incoming Kirby relinquished his cutter ability, letting the power star fall down to the ocean.
"What are you doing?" Dedede asked as Kirby looked back towards the oncoming missiles.
"These missiles have abilities." He told him. "If I can eat an orange one I can get my hammer ability."
Wasting no time, Kirby shut his eyes and began to inhale in the direction of the missiles. Once he managed to suck up one he immediately swallowed it only to gain his trademark sleep hat and then proceed to fall asleep, causing Dedede and Bandana Dee to enter another state of panic.
"What's he doing?" Dedede shouted. "He said he'd get hammer! Not sleep!"
"He said if he ate an orange one he would, I didn't see the color of the one he swallowed." Bandana Dee replied.
Dedede looked forward to see that they were heading straight for Kabula. Looking back he noticed there were still plenty of Dygclops in pursuit.
He snapped his fingers. "I have an idea."
Dedede jumped to the front of the warpstar and began to pull the front end up, causing the warpstar to pull up as they neared Kabula, causing the pursuing Dygclops to fly straight into her, blowing her to bits.
"Success!" Dedede cried as he looked back to watch Kabula's smoldering remains fall into the ocean just as Kirby woke up.
"W-What happened?" He asked wearily.
Dedede enthusiastically picked him up. "We did it puffball! We did it!"
"Kabula is no more!" Bandana Dee cheered.
Kirby nodded his head and flipped out of Dedede's hands. "That's great but it's not over yet." He looked out towards the Halberd. "We still have to take care of Meta Knight."
Ax (Surprised): They've destroyed Kabula!
Vul (Surprised): RASSA FRASSA BLASSA ARRGH!
Mace (Crying): Kirby's coming for us now! We're doomed!
Meta Knight (Surprised): !
Sword: What shall we do now?
Vul (Angry): All cannons, all cannons fire! We can't loose!
