The Dedede dilemma

Light suddenly flooded the dark room. Opening up every dark corner, showing the secrets of its contents. Well this room held no secrets just a really greedy king. King Dedede moaned and yawned; he looked over at his alarm clock.

"What- three A.M. that can't be! I still need more king beauty sleep! Escargoon!" The king called for his snail servant who was still in bed. "…ESCARGOON!" The lazy snail jumped out of surprised that the king was calling him.

"Oh what does that big oaf want now?" Escargoon glanced over at his clock. "Three A.M.! That's impossible!"

"ESCARGOON! GET YOUR SLOW STUPID SELF IN HERE!"

"Coming sire! Well I'm a lot more things than stupid!" Escargoon took off down the hall and headed straight for the king's quarters. He passed every statue of King Dedede in the halls. "There must be more than a thousand in this stupid castle!" However instead of stopping to marvel at them (which he would never do) Escargoon continued hurrying down the hallway. King Dedede, who had impatiently waited for twenty seconds, decided that if Escargoon was going to take forever he might as well do some investigating by himself. Dedede threw off the covers of his bed and literally jumped out of bed causing several of his shelves to shake.

"Whoa looks like we're havin' an earthquake." Dedede was obviously oblivious as to the fact that he caused the shelves to shake. Dedede stood for a moment looking out his window. He sighed thinking that maybe this would go on forever. He wouldn't get any beauty sleep for days, months, or maybe even years! He would have to go on looking like a total grump forever. Holding court he would look as though he had two black eyes. How embarrassing! "Wait a minute I know who can fix this!" Just then Escargoon burst into the room screaming

"YOUE MAJESTY ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT'S WRONG, OHH JUST TELL ME SO I CAN GET BACK TO SLEEP!"

"Escargoon we're going to the throne room!"

"Now, now just hold on a second, before you go ordering from Nightmare Enterprises again, first we should figure out the problem here! Now let's see." Escargoon shoved king Dedede away from the window and gazed upward. Suddenly the bright blue sky immediately turned to a night sky. "Whaaaa! Th-that doesn't make sense!" Escargoon looked upward again to see the strangest thing he had ever seen. Half the sky was night, and the other half was day. Something strange was definitely going on, it was even strange for Dreamland! Escargoon then noticed the two giant entities above. The Sun and Moon appeared to be struggling against one another. Each slowly pushed the other back, until they rebounded off each other and flew away incredibly fast. Then they collided once more. "Your highness… WE HAVE TO ORDER FROM NIGHTMARE ENTERPRISES NOW!"

"What? Why? What's with all the hubbub?"

"THE SUN AND MOON ARE FIGHTING!"

"Hmm that does sound like an emergency! To the Throne room!" King Dedede and Escargoon took off down the hall towards the Throne room. Once again they passed several statues of Dedede, much to Escargoon's dismay. King Dedede stopped about ten feet away from the door to the Throne room, and slid right in front of the door. Escargoon tried to stop at the door but he slid right past it. Dedede strode into the room, walking tall and proud. Escargoon face palmed when he saw this

"What are you doing nobody's even up?"

"What? I got to look good when I walk in here." King Dedede plopped himself down on his throne, and pressed a button on the left armrest. The room got dark. Several holes opened up in floor revealing a large electronic pedestal, with neon lights coming out of the top of it. A hole opened up in the ceiling and a large upside down identical pedestal dropped down. The wall to the left of the Throne opened up, and a large TV came out. The TV switched on, showing an image of the customer service for Nightmare Enterprises.

"Hey it's the big D how can Nightmare Enterprises help you this fine morning?"

"The Sun and Moon are fighting! I need a monster that can stop this whole mess so that I can get back to sleep!"

"Well normally I would upload a monster to you but aren't you forgetting the large amount of cash you owe from your previous uploads?"

"Uh- I sent a check! It's in the mail!"

"You already tried to pull that one."

"Alright, fine! Escargoon pay up!"

"But sire I"

"Nope, no buts, pay with money, or with pain!" Escargoon walked over to the terminal and placed his prized ring on it. The pedestal activated, and the ring was uploaded to Nightmare Enterprises.

"Alright so what monster will it be?"

"Hold on a second, for the past minute I did the math, and with the Sun and Moon fighting, and all dreamlands climate going all out of whack… WE'LL RUN OUT OF FOOD !"

"Oh my triple D, I think I know exactly what to send you."

"Well good send it over!"

The pedestal activated once again and electricity covered the room.' Once it was over a Yellow skinned, masked, creature sat there on the pedestal. It was holding a large green bag, and it was slumped over its shoulder."

"What is that stupid thing!"

"Well king you said you needed food and this is the monster to do it! Its name is Tac, and it can steal anything with extreme ease, and you know what that means."

"I can steal all the food in Dreamland, and I won't run out hahahahaha!"

"Exactly! Just remember to send it back when you're done."

"Ha-ha now I'll get those stupid dream landers foods!"

"But sire with the Sparkling Stars, they can just go find more food!" King Dedede immediately brought out his hammer and bashed Escargoon over the head with it, leaving an enormous bump on the snail's head.

"Escargoon why'd you have to go and ruin it!"

"Well sire I thought it would be best if you knew! And besides if we have the Sparkling Stars we could find even more food!"

"Ah Escargoon you are on a roll today, first you pay for my bill willingly, and then you feed me information that will help me in my conquest for food, ha! Well don't you worry your pretty little head about it. Tac here will take care of it. Riiight?"

"Oh but of course king 3 D'S Tac is a state of the art monster, capable of stealing anything, why don't you give it a go?"

At the instruction of Customer Service, King Dedede pointed at Escargoon. "Hey Tac guy, go get me ALLLLLLL of Escargoon's precious jewelry!" In response Tac jumped off the pedestal and landed on the red carpet that covered Dedede's floor. Tac dashed over to Escargoon; once he got near Escargoon Tac swiped around him, and ran over to King Dedede. Tac bowed before the king's throne and emptied his sack. Several priceless pieces of Jewelry lay right before King Dedede, and he immediately scooped them up. Escargoon's jaw dropped.

"But-I-I- didn't even have those on me, they were in my safe in my room!"

"You see big D, Tac is a special monster, FULL of surprises! Have fun!"

The screen then turned off, and the machinery retracted into the floors, and ceiling. King Dedede grabbed Tac, and started to swing him around in complete joy, while Escargoon sulked in the corner of the throne room, he was VERY upset about the current loss of his Jewelry.

"HAHAHAHA, alright Tac time to get swipin'. Now go, Steal all the food in Dreamland, and bring me the Sparkling Stars!" Tac nodded, and ran out into the hall, he dashed down the hall, until he came to a window, in which he jumped out of it, and ran off to fulfill his mission.
