Sinner and Vice (Not Livin' In an Amish Paradise)
AN: Ugh. NS, if you don't like the story, don't read it. Everyone whose reviewed understands it, clearly. There may be a few others who don't quite grasp it, but I'm sure they'd be a little glad that I help clear a few things up. You just cuss me out. Listen. Reviews are for encouragement and/or criticism. NOT bashing pointlessly. Anyways, on with the story.
Dedede's Castle...
"Hey! I need me somethin' bettuh than a monstuh, from this dimension or anothuh!" Dedede roared, pounding the arms of his throne.
"Well, I'm sure we could do something for you, your majesty," Customer Service said, his glasses shined over.
"What couldja' send me?" Dedede demanded.
"Sire, maybe you shouldn't ask," Escargoon said, trying to persuade Dedede.
"Silence, Escahgoon! I need tuh to get ridda' that blasted Kirby and his buddies!" the King silenced.
"Yes, your majesty," Escargoon cringed.
"Dedede, we have a little gift for you. It's called Dark Matter. I'll sell enough to infect one of the Star Warriors. But be careful to infect the one you need to," Customer Service warned.
"Yeah, yeah, whutevuh. Send it to me!" the King ordered.
A flash of electrics and the King held the same matter that had infected Strife and turned him into Wrath. He laughed as he put it in a box and headed out to go for a little drive.
Donokbe's Home...
The Star Warriors lounged about Donokbe's quiet home. They had asked Rajiim about his reason for coming, but he said he couldn't remember. The crash and bash he'd received earlier disoriented him. He didn't know what he had been doing or where he was. He seemed to just have a memory block, as he remembered who he was.
Meta Knight got up out of his chair and looked at Kirby and Donokbe.
"We need for you two, especially, to work on your dual attacks. You can't seem to cooperate at all," Meta Knight ordered, drawing Galaxia.
"Couldn't we do this later? I'm still trying to get settled. We rolled down a mountain, if you recall!" Donokbe griped.
"Hurry up, Donokbe!" Kirby called, a hand on a sword he began regularly using. He sucked it up and became Sword Kirby as usual.
"I hate being a Star Warrior," Donokbe moaned, pulling out his own sword and sucking it up.
They charged towards Meta Knight, their swords out in front of them like a lance. The pair jumped and almost leapt off each other. But one of them made a misstep. The pair were launched directly to the ground. Donokbe got up, rubbing his head. Kirby rolled over, annoyed.
"Try again," Meta Knight said sternly.
They tried again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Finally, after several hours, Meta Knight sighed one last time and walked back home, Sword Knight and Blade Knight following close behind.
"Well, that went well," Black Kirby said.
"Be quiet," Donokbe and Kirby said, both of them bruised and cut.
"I don't really use swords, but I am at least skilled in my maneuvers," Rajiim said, checking one of his two guns.
"Nobody asked you," Donokbe shot back, irritated and sore.
"True," Rajiim replied, stretching out.
Strife and Black Kirby then headed out to Cappy Town for a stroll. The two had become friends faster than with anyone else. Probably just the nature of the two, considering backgrounds and all.
Kirby stretched and yawned, his eyes closed, as he fell into a satisfied sleep. Donokbe followed suit after a few more seconds. Rajiim snorted as a gaudy limo came driving up, some fat guy driving. Twas the king, which he didn't know.
"Hey, uh, whoever-you-are, these two are asleep, go away," Rajiim said, dismissing Dedede.
"Do you know who you talkin' to, Sta' Wayuh?" Dedede demanded, glaring daggers at Rajiim.
"No, and I really don't care," Rajiim replied, snickering to himself.
"I was gonna' save this for that long-eared freak, but you'll do even bettuh!" Dedede shouted, releasing the Nightmare Matter.
The ball went shooting out, and it collided with Rajiim. He was knocked into the wall of Donokbe's home, and the energy sank into him as he slid down the rock face, groaning in pain. He curled up in the fetal position, still groaning in pain. An odd aura began emerging, and his groans became louder and louder still.
"That'll learn ya', ya' stupid Sta' Wayyuh!" Dedede cackled, driving off.
Rajiim's aura turned a dark purple, and his groans began dying down. Donokbe rolled over and fell off his chair, still fast asleep. Kirby, however, woke up, curious as to what was making the noise.
Then, Rajiim got up. But he had changed. Ever so much. He had a more slender form. His shoulders had an egg-like shape. A three-pronged crown was on the front of his helmet, and he had slits for pupils. His armor was dark green with a few purple glowing points.
"Rajiim!" Kirby shouted.
"Rajiim is gone. I am... Vice!" the being formerly known as Rajiim, now Vice, shouted, sounding like several voices.
"Ohhhhhh... no. Not another damned Nightmare Matter Monster," Donokbe griped.
"And without BK, we can't become the Tri-Knight," Kirby added.
Vice pulled out a rifle and blasted at the pair, "how do you think you'll fare against the Sinner?"
"Probably pretty well!" Donokbe retorted, pulling out his sword and a capsule, swallowing both to become Rainbow Knight Donokbe with extra sword capabilities (in Black Kirby's absence).
Kirby pulled out his own capsule, but instead of turning into Star Shield, he became Chain Blade Bomber. It was incredibly complex in its recipe, which made it virtually impossible to get without synthesis. A chain-like crown formed on his head, along with metal plates over his arms and legs.
Vice smirked and the Sinner glowed and transformed into a different build. It had a large clip on the bottom, each piece of ammunition looking like a dagger. He formed skates on his boots and jetted up the side of Donokbe's Cave. Donokbe and Kirby looked up, but then averted their eyes because of the sun.
Vice added a scope to his gun and homed in on Donokbe, the larger of the two targets. Several blasts pierced his armor, and two pierced his skin. He cried out as blood began flowing slowly. No arteries had been hit, but a few veins had. He winced from the pain, but training as a soldier taught him to shrug it off. Vice finally landed and Donokbe lunged out with his sword. Vice just transfigured his gun again, this time into a machine gun-style. He let loose and caught both Donokbe and Kirby in the flurry.
Kirby, luckily, caught the very minimal of it, while Donokbe was torn into. He was sprawled on the ground, heavily bleeding. He pulled one last move. The Rainbow Emblem on his torso glowed brightly. All the damage he received went into its energy supply, and now, it was gonna' blow. A multi-chromatic explosion emerged and consumed Vice, throwing him into the cave.
The damage had been received from Vice, so Kirby and Donokbe went unaffected. Donokbe did, however, pass out.
Kirby looked over at his KO'd friend and at the Nightmare Monster. He activated his ability as chains with four-pronged stars at the end emerged from his hands. They reacted to his mental commands, as they shot straight for Vice. Vice couldn't react in time, and thus was quickly ensnared. The chain blades pinned him to the wall, causing miniature explosions. Vice cried out in pain with each one. Kirby set off more until it was too full of smoke to see.
When the dust settled, Vice hung there, limp. Kirby tossed him to the ground, disgusted. He retracted the chain blades and walked over to Donokbe. He picked up his wrist and felt. After a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief. Donokbe was still alive, if only barely. He picked him up with two of the chains and ran back to Cappy Town, using other chain blades to help swing him for extra boosts whenever possible.
Cappy Town...
Kirby put Donokbe down at Chef Kawasaki's. Tiff was nearby, giving Kirby reason to thank all benevolent forces.
"Kirby? What happened?" she asked, hurriedly.
"A new Nightmare Monster possessed Rajiim. Can you take care of Donokbe?" Kirby asked.
"Sure I can," Tiff said, examining his wounds.
When she looked up, Kirby was already swinging off back to Donokbe's Cave.
"What was that about- What the hell happened to him!" Black Kirby demanded, flabbergasted by the horrible wounds.
"A Nightmare Monster. You should go help Kirby," Tiff said, focused on getting bandages for the injured Star Warrior at her feet.
Donokbe's Cave...
Kirby swung back and slid a few feet, looking around for any sign of Rajiim or Vice.
"Rooooouuuund two!" Vice said, blasting Kirby from behind.
"Dishonorable tactician," Kirby got up, his back smoking.
"True, but whoever got ahead in life by being virtuous? Rajiim certainly didn't. He did everything he possibly could for all the universe, and what does he find at home? Skeletons and the diary of his dearly departed father, Oaken," Rajiim said, disgusted.
Then Kirby was staring down the barrel of the Sinner.
"Virtues are WORTHLESS!" Vice shouted, blasting Kirby into the wall.
Kirby rolled over and righted himself in time to block a few of Vice's blasts. The stray lasers hit to the side, exploding, sending Kirby flying. But he managed to fully direct his momentum towards Vice.
"CHAIN BOMBER STORM!" Kirby shouted, dozens of chain blades emerging from his hands, feet, and crown. He was nothing but a mass of chain blades.
He ripped into Vice, becoming a confused mass of fire and blades. Vice's screams of pain were heard only by Kirby, Vice himself, and the one heading for the fighters. Kirby finally ran out of energy and he spat out the capsule. The energy meter on the side was completely grayed out. He pocketed it and pulled out a different capsule.
Vice didn't give Kirby time to pop in the next one, as he had transfigured his gun into a bazooka-style gun and blasted Kirby through the wall of Donokbe's cave. Kirby landed rather poorly with a coughing fit ensuing from the intense amount of dust. He got back up, unsteady and swallowed the capsule, changing into Soldier Kirby. He held up his own cannon and rushed out of the whole.
'Guess Donokbe has that garage he wanted,' Kirby thought, snickering.
When he saw Vice, he shot with all three barrels, causing Vice to go skidding off several hundred yards. Vice got up, growling. He jetted off, starting to get faster, until he began skating through the air. He was several hundred feet above the ground and his momentum finally ceased. Vice charged up the Sinner as Kirby charged up his own weapon.
With Vice only fifty feet from the ground and closing fast, Kirby let loose his blast. Vice blasted in retaliation, the two huge beams now caught in a power struggle. Vice was being held up with the pillar of energy and was pushing down. He had experience with weapons, he had hate, rage, and a downward momentum. This gave him a tremendous advantage over Kirby.
However, Kirby was fighting for his life, which caused them to equal out, neither giving any ground.
Then, finally, Kirby's backup arrived. Black Kirby. He swallowed his own capsule and became Laser Black Kirby. He looked for the proper target for his weapon to ricochet off of. Finally, he found it. He ran over on the opposite side of the hill and blasted into a crevase. It bounced up and over, then bounced off the cave wall. It then was sent with increased momentum into the Sinner. The weapon short-circuited and Vice was caught in a tremendous blast.
The Nightmare Monster was sent flying up another hundred feet, then crashed into the mini-lake Kirby and the others had dug and filled. Kirby spat out the other capsule, and noticed it was grayed out as well. Dang. He needed to get stronger power sourced for these. He put it away and looked to the lake.
Rajiim burst from it, sputtering.
"...THE HELL WAS THAT!" he roared, heavily confused.
Kirby puffed up and floated over to Rajiim, who grabbed onto him. Kirby then dropped him on the shore, allowing Rajiim to pass out. Nobody woke him up after the battle with Zold Myrannus, so he wouldn't bother Rajiim in his sleep.
Several Days Later...
An odd silhouette was on the horizon of the setting sun. It looked small, like a Star Warrior, but it had many jagged points to it. The silhouette walked forward out to a large lake, the very one that Vice landed in before Rajiim was free.
"Brother! Come to me!" the figure said, its hands in the air.
A slimy little glob came creeping out of the water. When it reached the figure, it came into a more definite form.
"Ah, brother, you're back. CS pondered where you were," the new figure said.
"Well, it's hard to hide in-between tiles for a long period of time," the other figure said.
"That explains it. But how are you here?"
"Our younger brother came here. He has possessed your Other's ship."
"Ah... well, shall we go find our younger sibling?"
"He is waiting for us at the top of Mt. Color," the other figure said, pointing at the largest mountain.
(Author's Challenge: Figure out who these two are.)
BADUM! BADUM! BADUM!
