Chapter 6:Dyna Blade: Level 1
Josh was now resting against a tree while Trent was resting in it's branches as a Knuckle Joe. It had been a few days since they had defeated DDD, and all was peaceful. Too peaceful for their tastes. They were wishing for the next part of the story to happen, but no luck so far. Of course, that was about to change faster than they'd think. Suddenly, a giant, red bird came soaring through the air, creating a rush of wind that knocked Trent out of the tree. He fell right into Josh, their heads colliding, which instantly woke him up.
"YAYAYA!! PIRATES!! WHERE ARE THOSE PIRATES!?!?"he shouted insanely, then noticed Trent lying in a dizzy heap next to him.
"Uuuughh, I think I'm gonna be sick..."he muttered, eyes spinning. He then shook his head as he stood up."What the crap...?"Josh looked after the retreating shape of Dyna Blade in the sky.
"Sweet! Dyna Blade's finally here!"he said with a grin.
"Oh, goodie,"Trent muttered groggily, then an apple from the tree conked him on the head, causing him to fall over. Josh sighed and grabbed Trent's foot, then began to drag him in the direction of Dyna Blade along a dirt road, face-first. This resulted in quite a bit of pain for Trent as he was pulled over rocks.
"Ow...ow...ow...ow,"he muttered. Eventually, it became too much for him to take, and his body started flashing red."OWWWW!!!"
A FEW MINUTES LATER, THIS HAPPENED!
Josh was now standing on top of a strange pink mountian, Trent inside his head. Josh jumped off the top and floated down to the foot of the mountian, inhaling a Sir Kibble. Trent immediately came out as Sir Kibble himself. They both went through the door and landed in a grassy field. They both ran forward, Josh jumping up to inhale a Parasol Waddle Dee, gaining a Parasol himself, and Trent taking out a Waddle Dee with his melee attack. Josh then landed in front of him and took out a broom witch.
The two then jumped and were met with a Waddle Doo firing its beam at them, which they barely managed to dodge with the limited space they had. Trent hurled his cutter at it, weakening it enough for Josh to finish it off. Trent then leapt forward and swung his cutter through another Waddle Dee. Josh then thrust his umbrella through a small block wall, then immediately held it forward to block a cutter.
"That could've hurt,"he muttered. Trent quickly jumped over him and took it out, then slashed through another block. They ran forward and saw another Waddle Dee with a parasol walking around. Deciding to ignore it, they ran past it and saw a small lake with a Parasol Waddle Doo floating down. Trent hurled his cutter with surprisingly good aim and sliced the handle of its parasol, causing it to fall into the water. Josh then floated over the water, flying into a Waddle Dee and taking it out with his umbrella. He then turned around and saw Trent swimming across the small lake and climbing out of the other side. They both jumped over a broom witch and came across a bridge of strange looking blocks.
"Okay, you're going to have run fast, dude,"Josh said. Trent looked at him.
"Don't you mean WE have to run fast?"Trent asked.
"Nope, I mean you,"Josh replied, then floated over the bridge.
"...Crud,"Trent muttered. He took a deep breath, then ran forward as fast as he could, the bridge disappearing as he ran across. He just barely made it to the other end before the last block popped out of existance."Jeez, I gotta start working out."The two then ran up a small hill, taking out another Sir Kibble. The duo reached an enclosed spot with a floor of the same blocks that made the bridge. Josh tossed his parasol away, then stood on top of it. The blocks disappeared one after another, until they eventually reached the bottom. Trent turned around, and as he expected, there was some food lying on the ground. He grabbed it and scarfed down an ice pop, Josh taking a small tomato. The two then walked up another hill and saw a Waddle Doo. Josh quickly inhaled it and became Beam Kirby, walking through the door.
The two appeared in an enclosed area, the path blocked off by a wall of, well, blocks. One of the blocks had a picture of a bomb. Trent readied his cutter to slash it.
"Hold up, dude,"Josh said, taking a step forward. He then closed his eyes and concentrated. He flashed a bit, then he released a charged shot, destroying the bomb block, which destroyed the entire wall. Trent clapped a few times.
"Nice. How'd you do that?"he asked. Josh was silent for a moment, then spoke up.
"I pretended that I was doing something,"he said vaguely. Trent wasn't letting it go.
"And what were you pretending to do?"he asked. Josh sighed.
"I pretended to hold in a fart,"he said flatly. Trent paused after hearing that, then started laughing hysterically. Even falling on his back and rolling around. After a moment, he slowly stood up, still chuckling a bit.
"Oooooo-kay,"he said."Let's move on, shall we?"The two of them ran forward and took out a Waddle Doo, then climbed up a ladder and nearly ran into a Gordo. Trent turned around to go up the next ladder, but Josh walked up to the wall. He then jumped and fired a beam which travelled through the wall and hit a hidden bomb block, revealing a 1-Up. He quickly grabbed it and headed towards the next ladder with Trent. They both jumped up to avoid the Gordo and reached for the ladder. Trent managed to grab it, but Josh missed it completely and crashed right into the Gordo.
"OY!"he shouted. He quickly climbed up the ladder. The next floor was void of enemies. They both looked up and saw the bomb block on the ceiling.
"After you,"Trent said, smiling if he could. Josh looked at him strangely for a moment, then jumped up and hit his head on it, destroying the blocks it was connected to. He then fell face-first on the ground. He slowly looked up at Trent, who was collecting the food that had fallen.
"You tricked me,"Josh muttered angrily, standing back up.
"Yep,"Trent said calmly,"Think fast!"He then hurled a cherry at Josh. Josh opened his mouth to shout, but the cherry then landed in his mouth, stopping him. He then swallowed it. They both climbed up the next ladder. They both ran to the next ladder and took out a Poppy Bro and Waddle Dee. They continued to clib up the tower, taking out enemies as they did. When they reached a floor with a door on it, Josh quickly ran into it, landing in a room that, once he looked up, nearly him shout in frustration.
"That does not make sense,"he mumbled in a strange voice, emphasizing the last three words. He then jumped and swam up to a sword trophy, transforming into Sword Kirby. Trent quickly dispatched the two enemies in the room as Josh came back down, going through the door. They climbed up another floor and saw a "house" of blocks. Josh jumped and sliced through a Kabu, the beam he created destroying the bomb block, which in turn made the other blocks disappear. But instead of going through the door, Josh began to fly up, avoiding a Bronto Burt and landing on a platform suspended in midair which held a Maxim Tomato and a 1-Up. He then jumped back off and landed near the door, where Trent was waiting. Before he could even ask, Josh spoke up.
"Maxim Tomato. 1-Up,"he said simply.
"Ah,"Trent said as they both went through the door, landing in another grassy area that enclosed by a rock formation. They both passed by a Waddle Dee that was looking at flowers, then climbed a small hill. But instead of continuing forward, Josh turned and began to float up. Trent, not wanting to be left behind again, began hopping from platform to another, jumping up the ledges of the mountian Josh was flying up. He nearly landed on a patch of spikes, but managed to avoid it. He then hopped up to a suspended platform and took out a flower monster while Josh took out the other. What they saw next had Josh grinning from ear to ear. Trent would be smiling, but...he didn't have a face in his current form. He sliced it in half with his cutter and handed one peice to Josh.
"One,"Josh said.
"Two,"Trent said.
"THREE!!"they both shouted, devouring their peices at the same time and once more becoming covered in a flashing aura. They both leapt through the air, landing rather far from where they originally were. They both bounded down the path as fast as they could go, Trent flailing his cutter around and Josh firing fully charged beams repeatedly and instantly.
"I'LLCUTYOUI'LLCUTYOUI'LLCUTYOUI'LLCUTYOU!!"Trent shouted.
"IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZORS!! BLAAAGH!! BLAAAGH!!" BLAAAGH!!"Josh screamed, punctuating each "BLAAGH!!" with fully charged shots. After crashing through quite a few enemies, they eventually they reached a hole in the ground and leapt in. When they landed, they saw an Ice Seal waiting for them. It's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates as they charged towards him. The Ice Seal screamed hysterically, and turned around to run. But it was too late as they charged right into it, opening the path. The incvincible candy wore off as it opened.
"That was friggin' awesome,"Josh panted.
"I missed that feeling alot,"Trent remarked. They both calmly walked through the opening and looked up to see a few small platforms, with the last door in the corner. They decided to ignore the enemies and through the door. The two of them looked around for a moment before realizing they were standding in midair. The two then fell into the cannon with a scream.
"Ohhhhhh....crap,"Josh said as a meter appeared in front of him, likewise with Trent.
"Aaaaand...now,"Trent said, stopping his meter a bit from being completely full. He smirked.
"Errr...now?"Josh muttered hesitantly. Unfortunately for him, he ended up stopping the meter a bit from it's starting point."AWWW..."
BOOM!!
Trent was fired out of the cannon at top speed, visible as a yellow blur flying across the track. And Josh, well, he barely flew a yard before landing on his rear.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"Trent shouted as he screeched to halt on his feet, stopping at the very last line. Three 1-Ups landed on him as Josh ran to catch up to him, cursing his terrible timing.
