I've finally found out the name of that weird bomb enemy that looks like a pineapple, as well as quite a few other enemies.

Chapter 14:The Halberd's Destruction part 1

The duo braced themselves as they drew closer to the menacing Halberd, which was now aiming at them once more.

"Incoming!"Josh shouted as energy bullets streaked towards them. Dyna Blade began to glide past the deadly streams, the duo clinging to her for dear life as she looped through the air. As Dyna Blade righted herself, the cannon fired a cannonball at them.

"I got it!"Trent shouted, then spat out a fire ball that destroyed the projectile before it could reach them. He smirked."I'm liking this power, already!"

"INCOMING! AGAIN!"Josh screamed, seeing the cannon's laser charging. Dyna Blade only had time to squawk in surprise before she was scorched by the beam, rolling uncontrollably and throwing the duo towards the ship's deck. Trent quickly curled himself into a fire ball, hurdling towards a squad of knights on the deck. He smashed into the massive deck like a small meteor, annihilating them all. Josh gracefully landed next to Trent as he uncurled himself, then both of them looked at Dyna Blade, who was spiraling down until she was out of sight. They both scowled.

"Dude, that pisses me off!"Josh snarled."She was just helping us get back up here!"

"How about we repay the favor?"Trent asked with a cold smirk.

"With interest!"Josh said with an evil grin, both of them looking towards the bridge.

XXXX

Up in said bridge...

"Dyna Blade has been shot down!"the Axe Knight engineer said.

"But...but...Kirby is on the deck!"Mace Knight said frantically.

"Relax. We must handle this calmly,"Meta Knight told his crew.

"Listen, you lubbers! I want you all after that Kirby!"the bird captain squawked angrily.

"..."Meta Knight couldn't help but think to himself after that comment. She had told him that the duo on the deck of his "ship" were previously two humans. She had also told him that he was to test them. As to why, she had only said that it was important for the future.

XXXX

The duo dashed across the deck, jumping over Gordos and other enemies. While Josh slashed through a Rocky with his knife, Trent quickly rolled under a bomb and crashed into the jungle bomb who had thrown it. They both hopped on a couple of floor sliders that shot them forward onto another floor slider in an enclosed area, which was poised to shoot them through a pair of Gordos.

"Crud,"was all they could say before they were fired. But to their surprise, they received no damage as they passed through the spiky creatures. However, the deviced slammed them into a wall. Josh was flattened against it while Trent bounced off and landed on another floor slider pointed backwards. He was shot into another, even smaller space. He frantically ran back out as the floor popped out of existance with his every step, seeing Josh waiting for him.

"Dude, that felt weird,"he said as they ran forward.

"You mean when we passed through those Gordos?"Trent asked after he boiled another Jungle Bomb.

"No, I mean when I got flattened against that wall,"Josh said, then jumped up and ninja kicked a Sir Kibbles standing on two star blocks.

"Really? How'd that feel?"Trent asked as they jumped on top of a wall.

They hopped over a gap."I dunno how to describe it, dude."Josh said."It's just a weird-ass reminder that I don't have bones anymore. HEADS UP!"They rolled out of the way of a cutter, which quickly returned to its owner, who was standing near a door. Josh ran forward, grabbed the Sir Kibbles, and jumped! Trent looked up curiously as he came flying back down and smashed it into the floor with a loud 'POP!', destroying it.

Trent blinked."Damn,"he said calmly.

"THAT WAS AWESOME!"Josh shouted with a manic grin, but then he frowned and stumbled a bit."Ooh, and I think I'm gonna be sick..."

"Please don't,"Trent said flatly. They went through the door, which led to another area of the giant battleship. They jumped down from a platform onto another level, seeing a straight path ahead of them. They ran for a few yards before seeing 6 of the meta knights appear.

"That's far enough, Kirby!"They heard who they assumed was Meta Knight shout.

"Now you will know the power of Meta Knight!"another voice squawked.

"Fight!"another, much less intimidating voice shouted. The Knights charged at the duo as they sweatdropped.

"Oh, goody. I'd hate to think this would be easy..."Trent muttered before jumping towards one, curling himself up and slamming into a flying Javelin knight. Josh ran towards an Axe Knight, dodging a swing of its weapon before slashing his knife, unintentionally releasing a Quad Shock attack that destroyed it, much to his own surprise. He barely had a second to think about it before he saw a large, spiked ball flying at him.

Now, when you see a spiky ball of hurt flying at you at high speed, your first reaction is to soil yourself, which is what Josh would have done if he had had the organs to do so.

However, when you see a spiky ball of hurt flying at your best friend at high speed, your first reaction is to get them the heck out of the way, which is exactly what Trent did, running towards Josh and tackling him away, allowing the mace to fly by harmlessly. They quickly stood back up, Josh hurling some kunai at the Mace Knight and Trent spitting a fire ball, the combined assault destroying it. They turned their attention to the last 3 knights, who were glaring at them. Another axe knight threw it's weapon at them.

The two sidestepped the makeshift cutter and shot forward, Trent bursting into flames and Josh throwing his cloak over himself, becoming invisible. Trent smashed into the axe knight, setting it aflame for only a moment before it was destroyed. He looked at the remaining 2 enemies, a javelin knight and a...mechanized...floating...thing. They prepared to charge at the Burnin' Leo, but the floating thing was suddenly destroyed by an unknown force. Trent and the knight blinked, looked at each other for a moment before the Javelin Knight's eyes widened and it was destroyed as well.

"Uh huh,"Trent said, eyebrow raised questioningly. Josh then appeared in front of him, a serious expression on his face. Trent nodded."I knew it."

"From now on,"Josh started, his tone very serious."You are to call me...Solid Marshmallow."They both stared at each other for a long moment, then they both cracked a smile, then snickered, chuckled, and finally burst into hysterical laughing fits at both the situation and the oxymoron.

XXXX

"Uhhh, what the heck are they laughing at?"Axe Knight asked.

"Who knows?"the Old Bird muttered as the two stood back up. Meta Knight watched the screen with a rather amused expression, which was hidden by his mask.

XXXX

After they managed to compose themselves, they went through another door, this one leading to the ship's interior, which was mostly gray in color.

"Looks like Kirby is trying to get on deck,"one of the voices said.

"Well then, let's guide him in front of one of the cannons,"another voice squawked.

"We can hear you,"Josh muttered as they got on an elevator, ignoring a Poppy Bro with a boomerang. The car travelled up a few meters before stopping in front of a small cannon.

"Whoa!"Trent shouted as Josh frantically pressed the up button, sending the car up again before the cannon could fire. They went up to the second floor, where a Plasma Wisp was floating between them and the next elevator. The creature fired a few sparks at them, which they quickly dodged."I'll take it. Self-destruct!"Trent's body flashed red for only a moment before he tackled the Plasma Wisp, turning into one himself. He looked at his disembodied hands curiously.

"Wow. how does that feel?"Josh asked as they got into the next elevator and went up.

"...No comment,"Trent said, his voice sounding like a bee. They reached the top, where a Poppy Bro and another Plasma Wisp was waiting for them. They were unable to react in time to avoid a bomb, which blew them into the wall.

"Um...ow?"Josh muttered as he peeled himself off, rubbing his head as much as he could with his stubby arm. Trent fired a few very weak shots at the Poppy Bro, which barely managed to destroy it. He looked at his hands again while Josh leapt up and slashed through the Plasma Wisp, taking it out as well. They went into a third elevator, which brought them up to another floor where three cannons were firing at an upward angle. They glanced up to see a bomb block, then Josh calmly threw a kunai at it, causing gaps to open in the floor that the cannons fell through.

Josh ran across the gaps while Trent floated above him effrotlessly. They both went through the next door, landing in yet another area of the ship's interior, where they saw a bridge of blocks ahead of them leading to another area where Bio Spark was standing. Trent started to fly forward, but was stopped by Josh.

"Hold up, dude,"he said. Trent turned to look at him."Your memory's better than mine. Isn't there a sword trophy below those blocks?"Trent blinked.

"Uh, yeah, I think so,"he buzzed. He shot a spark down that destroyed the first block, then flew through it. Only a moment later, he flew back up."Yep. It's down there."

"Awesome,"Josh said with a smirk, jumping through the gap and floating over to the sword trophy. He floated forward and landing in front of it, Trent following him curiously.

"I thought you liked ninja more than anything else,"Trent said.

"I do,"Josh told him.

"Then what are you doing?"

"Having an eppiphany,"Josh replied, pulling off his hat. He then tossed it at the trophy, creating a small flash. What they saw made Trent's eyes and Josh's smirk widened. Instead of a blade knight, the trophy now showed a katana crossed with a kunai in a weird X.

"What the-?"Trent muttered as Josh took the trophy. He was now holding a ninja sword and wearing a hat closely resembling the ninja hat, but was pointed like Lin-I mean, the sword hat. Josh laughed.

"Oh, this is soooo cool!"he said. Trent glared.

"How come you always have the good ideas?"he asked, annoyed.

"Because I'm the smart one?"Josh asked rhetorically, which earned him a small shock from Trent."OW! Don't worry, dude! You'll have an idea of your own, soon."

"I'd better,"Trent grumbled as they floated back up, quickly defeating the Bio Spark and landing in an area with two tall walls. As they walked into the middle, a Poppy Bro Sr. appeared in front of them and an Iron Mam appeared behind them."I'll take the bomber and you take the boxer."

"Done,"Josh said. They shot at their respective opponents.

Trent quickly zipped out of the way of a bomb thrown by the Bro, then fired a massive surge of electrical energy that fried it. Okay, that's what he tried to do. Instead, he just shot a tiny little spark that couldn't even reach it.

"Oookaaaay,"he said slowly as the bro formed another bomb in its hand."Well...I'm boned."

Meanwhile, Josh was turning the Iron Mam into swiss cheese, discovering that he could move his sword at blinding speeds. However, the creature wouldn't take the assualt lying down. It managed to land a sucker punch that knocked him away. The IM charged at him as he smirked.

"This is boring,"Trent muttered, dodging what had to be the 7th bomb thrown at him. He was still trying to figure out how to charge his attacks. He had managed to get in close and let off a few sparks that scraped, but still barely did a thing. He looked at his hands again, a thought occuring to him.

"...That might work."He started rubbing his hands together vigorously, causing them to crackle with energy as he finally started charging his energy. He would have grinned if he had a mouth. As he dodged another bomb, his energy peaked and a nimbus appeared around him."EAT THIS, PUNK!"

Ka-CRACK!

SHING!

POP! POP!

The two turned to look at each other, seeing that they had defeated their enemies.

"Well, that's convenient,"Josh said. Trent turned to look back at the Poppy Bro Sr.

"I just had an idea,"Trent buzzed. He placed his hand on it."Combine!"There was a flash, and Trent was now a yellow-green Poppy Bro, instead of the usual blue. He hummed, forming a bomb in his hand as the Iron Mam disappeared."Hit this."He tossed the bomb into the air. Josh, not knowing what else to do, threw a kunai at it, causing the bomb to explode, releasing an electric pulse that spread out a few feet before disappating. There was a pause.

"Now that was sweet,"Josh finally said.

"I think it took out that camera,"Trent said, pointing at the now useless security device.

XXXX

"What the-? WE LOST VISUAL!"Axe Knight shouted.

"Oh, COME ON ALREADY!"the Old Bird squawked angrily, not realizing he was broadcasting his rant."First our system wide audio receivers are on the fritz, and now we've lost visual?"

XXXX

They both exploded with laughter.

"We did take it out!"Trent laughed.

"You're an EMP!"Josh managed to choke out.

"Calm down, Old Bird,"Meta Knight's voice rung out coolly."It's only one camera, we'll see them again soon enough."As they managed to stand back up, they heard grumbling from the speakers. Still chuckling, they both jumped over another a wall and saw another bridge of blocks. Josh leapt up and performed a ninja kick with his sword pointed in the same direction of his foot, smashing through the blocks, then hitting a bomb block that revealed another door. He barely managed to cling to the wall and climbed back up. He walked through the door, Trent following in star form now that he was once again unable to fly. They landed in a room with a tomato, a small cake, a 1-Up, a Maxim Tomato, and even an invincible candy.

"How long has that room been there?"the small voice asked.

"Ooh, it's time to feast,"Trent said with a grin. And so they ate, restoring their energy and filling their stomachs, saving the invincible candy for last. In fact, they actually took it out of the room, reached the other door and went through it.

"Umm, since when is Kirby that smart?"one of the voices asked dreadfully as Josh sliced the candy in half.

They both paused."Since he's not the real thing,"Josh muttered. They both looked at each other and gave meloncholy sighs, then gulped down the invincible candy, which instantly made them feel a LOT better.

The Combo Cannon never stood a chance.
