Yay, I got reveiws and a favorite. Better than most of my stories have gotten when I first started them.
Chapter 2:Spring Breeze Part 1
Josh walked forward slowly, still not used to the lack of legs. He stumbled quite a bit as he moved forward, causing Trent to sigh.
"Dude, stop moving like a slug and GET GOING!!"he yelled into his mind. Josh growled angrily, but it sounded too cute to be even slightly intimidating.
"You try running without legs and THEN talk to me about it!"he retorted.
"Just try to go faster,"Trent said."Uh...you might wanna watch out."Josh looked forward and saw the Waddle Doo in front of them. He smirked slightly.
"This should be interesting,"he muttered. He began to inhale as much as he could, turning his mouth into a vacuum and sucking up the Waddle Doo. He then swallowed it, creating a flash that transformed him into Beam Kirby."WOW, that was weird!"He held his hands up and felt the strange hat."Cool."
"Hey, wait a second,"Trent muttered."There's a weird...gap here."Suddenly, there was another flash, and a Waddle Doo came out Josh's head, his hat disappearing as it happening.
"What the--?"Josh muttered, looking at it."Lemme guess. Trent?"Trent's lone eye looked around.
"This...is really...freaky,"he said. Josh raised a non-existant eyebrow.
"How are you talking without a mouth?"he asked. Trent shrugged, but then a beam came out."Whoa!"Josh immediately jumped back."Watch it, dude!"
"Right, I totally did that on purpose,"Trent muttered sarcastically. Josh sighed.
"Let's just go,"he muttered bitterly. The two of them started to run across the grassy plains, taking out a few Waddle Dees. The two of them jumped over a small wall of earth. Unfortunately, the landed on a couple of enemies on the other side, recieving decent damage."OW!"Trent angrily fired a beam at a Waddle Dee as Josh inhaled the cap off a mushroom creature, spitting it back out and destroying it."We're getting good at this."When they were done with those two enemies, they noticed a doorway without a frame."Okay, that's freaky."
The two of them walked up to the door and Josh stuck his hand in it cautiously, as if the door would bite. Trent rolled his eye and shoved him through, then walked through himself while muttering "Idiot..."The doorway led into a small room with a Sir Kibbles and a Maxim Tomato on the floor below them. Josh inhaled the SK and swallowed it, becoming Cutter Kirby.
"Nice!"he said, swinging the cutter. They both jumped down and looked at the Maxim Tomato."Dude...how are supposed to share this? Since we're supposed to..."
"If you try to kiss me, I'll send that cutter straight up your--"
"OKAY, I GET IT!"Josh shouted at him."We'll just split it, alright?"Josh then cut the tomato in half, handing one to Trent and having the other for himself. The two of them jumped back up and went back through the door. They started to move forward again, jumping over a gap in the ground and narrowly avoiding a Bronto Burt. The two of them saw a warp star with only a Waddle Dee in their way. Josh sent his cutter straight at it, taking it out. He caught the cutter and jumped on the warp star, Trent following.
"How do you work this thing?"Trent asked. Before Josh could answer, the warp star suddenly took off on its own, heading towards the horizon with its passengers screaming all the way.
"YAAAAAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"Josh screamed happily as they sailed through the clouds. Trent held onto the warp star for dear life. After a while, they started to descend to the ground.
"Oh, this is gonna hurt..."Trent muttered. The two crashed into the forest and surprisingly just bounced off from the tiny explosion, landing on the ground completely unharmed."Phew..."
"Let's move!"Josh said, running forward and slicing through a Poppy Bro. But then, a larger Poppy Bro appeared in front of them, skipping back and forth."Uh oh."The Poppy Bro held up a bomb and chucked it them, but they immediately jumped out of the way. Josh threw his cutter as Trent fired his beam, both attacks dealing good damage. The Poppy Bro jumped over their heads and threw another bomb while in midair. Trent managed to jump out of the way, but Josh was knocked down from the blast.
"Since when could he throw bombs from midair?"Trent asked. Josh stood back up and shook his head.
"Okay, now I'm pissed,"he muttered as Trent fired another beam, dealing more damage. Josh ran up and did the cutter combo on it, destroying it with the final stroke of the blade. The Poppy Bro fell onto his back, body flashing. The two looked at each other.
"I'm fine with cutter. You want it?"
"Yeah, but I don't know how to do that self-destruct th-"As soon as Trent had said "self-destruct," his body started flashing red."OOOOWW! THIS BURNS! THIS BURNS! THIS BURNS!"He said quickly while running in circles. Josh started snickering at the display."DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! DO SOMETHING!!"
"Run into the Poppy Bro before it disappears, you idiot!"he said. Trent immediately ran at the Bro and collided with it, creating a flash. Trent was then transformed into a smaller Poppy Bro. He sighed deeply as the pain left him.
"Well, at least now you know how to self-destruct,"Josh said with a grin.
"SHUT. UP."Trent said with a scowl. He thought for a moment, thinking through his new ability. He formed a bomb in his hand and smirked.
"Uhhhh..."Trent hurled the bomb at him, but Josh immediately jumped out of the way. He laughed nervously."Okay then. Let's with another Poppy Bro. Josh ran at the Bro and sliced it apart as Trent dropped a bomb and blew the blocks up, revealing a small hole with food on the ground. They both jumped down and looked at the food curiously.
"Who leaves perfectly good food on the lying on the ground?"Trent asked.
"Some idiots who just lost their food,"Josh said, eating a cherry and handing half of the cookie to Trent. He ate a slice of pie that was left after eating the cookie. The two jumped out of the hole, with Trent accidently jumping into a Bronto Burt. He tossed a bomb at it and destroyed it while Josh jumped down and took out a Poppy Bro that was about to throw a bomb at Trent. The two ran forward and saw a rather large creature sleeping by another door. Trent tried to tip-toe to the door, but unfortunately, Josh wasn't as quiet. The creature opened its eyes and knocked him into the air. His hat was knocked off and transformed into a star that bounced around. Trent fired a beam at the creature, taking it out while Josh inhaled the star. He was about to swallow it, but then he just spat it out.
"I'm kinda tired of cutter,"he said, walking through the door. Trent shrugged and followed. The two them appeared in what they thought was a giant tree. They both jumped up to a platform, seeing a Waddle Dee. Josh inhaled and spat at the wall, destroying it. The two of them jumped up through another platform. Another creature like the last charged at them from behind, knocking them into the air. Trent fired his beam at it a few times, destroying it. They both hopped up a slightly raised platform and destroyed a block. They walked through a small opening and saw a 1-up. Josh walked up and touched it, the 1-up being absorbed into him.
"Great, this must mean we're gonna die,"Trent said."Awesome."
"In which case, this thing will come in handy,"Josh said. The two of them continued to hjump through the tree's platforms and eventually reached a door at the top. They both went through. They both appeared on a platform that lead into a drop. Josh started walking forward, but Trent spoke up.
"Wait a minute,"he said, causing Josh to stop. He turned to face Trent.
"What now?"he asked.
"You DO remember what's next, right?"Trent asked. Josh raised a non-existant eyebrow.
"Uhhhh...Oh. Whispy Wood, right?"he asked, Trent nodded.
"Yeah,"he said."Think you can take him on without any copy abilities?"Josh shrugged at his question.
"Sure. I've beat him the normal way plenty of times,"he said."But just in case, let me try something."He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He then held his hand out and fired a strange beam at Trent, turning him into a small, unlit bomb. Josh then inhaled the item and swallowed, turning into Bomb Kirby."You in there, dude?"There was a small silence, then Trent's voice spoke up in his head.
"That was weird," he muttered."Good thinking, though."There was a flash and Trent reappeared as a Poppy Bro again, now back at full health.
"Let's go,"Josh said, jumping down and landing on another platform. Trent followed and the two of them junmped to the ground and turned, seeing Whispy Woods in all his glory. The tree got an angered look on his face."Yeah, I think he's about to hurt us."Whispy then shook himself, causing many apples to fall from his...whatever you call it. Brush, I guess. The two of them jumped away from the projectiles, Josh inhaling an apple. Trent created a bomb and hurled it at Whispy, dealing some damage. Josh jumped up and spat the apple at Whispy, hurting him even more. Whispy then blew balls of air at the two, blowing them around like ragdolls.
"Yeah, that was painful,"Trent muttered, creating another bomb as Whispy shook himself again, causing more apples and even some Gordos to fall towards them. Trent jumped over a Gordo while forming another bomb. Josh BARELY dodged another Gordo, while inhaling another apple. They both fired their respective projectiles, taking Whispy out and causing a small star to appear. Josh jumped and grabbed the star with a grin on his face. But when he landed, he frowned.
"I feel...funny,"he muttered, then his eye twitched again."I don't know why, but I'm feeling the need to...DANCE!"Suddenly, two other Kirby's appeared next to him and they all began to do the famous Kirby dance. Trent just watched with a blank expression.
"When did he learn those moves?"
