Hello once again! It feels like a long time since I've updated this story. I know it's only been two weeks at most but I really missed seeing this story. Most of the delay was due to writer's block. I was deciding whether to have Kirby face Whispy Woods this chapter or next chapter. In the end, I chose the latter because otherwise it would feel really rushed and anticlimactic. And I only want to deliver the best that I can. Tell me what you think about my first attempt at some action. I tried to make it exciting but brief, as to not make it drag out. Thank you all once again reviewers for continuing to give me praise for my work. It touches my heart and vital organs that you love it so much! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Three

Having a blast!


As Kirby had began to run towards his new destiny as a hero, there sat a very sleepy King in his throne. King Dedede was so exhausted from having to stay up past midnight, steal food from Dreamland and run away with said food that he was finally glad to be getting a decent nap for once. The blue, tubby King wondered how anything could possibly go wrong for him at this moment in time. Dedede should have been wondering if he could have chosen a worse possible time to believe that, as the double doors that led into his throne room from the hallway suddenly busted open with tremendous force. Enough to create a noise loud enough to wake up the King from his slumber. He yelled at the top his lungs, clearly surprised.

"WAUGH! I SWEAR I PUT ON DEODORANT!"

The King, who was now bumbling about in place like a clown, suddenly opened his eyes to see two Waddle Dees in front of him. They were shaking like a leaf and looked as if they saw a ghost. But right now in front of the Waddle Dees, they were expecting to see a monster. But King Dedede was absolutely silent, content with just staring at them like they were having the most intense of staring contests. This just put the Waddle Dees more on edge as they were unnerved by the King's actions. King Dedede, after taking a huge breath, then spoke two words through his teeth.

"Speak. NOW!"

One of the Waddle Dees stepped forward and steeled himself up before revealing what they wanted to talk about. Both of the Waddle Dees knew that their King was not going to be happy.

"M-milord! We have t-terrible news! Someone is planning to invade the c-castle and t-take back all the food. What do we do?"

There was no immediate response. Why should the King have a response? He never actually thought that any of the puny inhabitants in Dreamland would do something about this. However, he did have a feeling someone would at least try to stop him. This was when the sly King started to bellow out a maniacal but goofy laugh. After he regained himself from his laughing fit, Dedede responded back to the two Waddle Dees.

"Yeah, right! If any of those weenies want to reach MY castle they would have to travel through the Green greens, Castle Lololo, the Float Islands and the Bubbly Clouds. They wouldn't make it through my appointed guards, the most elite of the elite, much better than you bozos."

The Waddle Dees were very quick to interrupt their liege.

"Well... actually... the one that they call Kirby has already started his trek through Green greens already..."

King Dedede had to perform a comical double take at hearing these words and had the most bemused expression on his face. The Waddle Dees could practically see themselves on the King's forehead due to how much sweat he was producing from there. However, King Dedede soon remembered that he had nothing to worry about. The King's movement became relaxed and his posture was almost entirely gone as he leaned back into his throne so much that he was practically melting in it. King Dedede then closed his eyes and nonchalantly responded back with a dismissive wave from his hands.

"No reason to fret. I made sure to inform the guardian of the Green greens about my issue at hand. I'm sure that once this Kirby fella' spots a glance at him, he'll decide to..."

For dramatic effect, the King decided to pause mid sentence. The Waddle Dees felt more awkward than anything though.

...LEAF me alone! HAHAHAHAHA! Heh..."

The Waddles Dees looked utterly confused as to how that joke was funny and merely tilted their heads in unison at their comedic King. King Dedede could only come to the reasonable conclusion that stupid people did not understand comedy.


Meanwhile, Kirby was making his jolly way through the cheerful and happy meadows of Green greens. The air around Kirby was fresh and the sun was shining down rays of light that could make even the most depressed creature in Planet Popstar smile. There were many different obstacles and enemies that tried to obstruct the puffball's path but not only did Kirby recently learn his fantastical inhale ability to take care of enemies, but Kirby also learnt that his big appetite could be used for eating more than just piles of food. Many enemies would just be eaten by Kirby before their very eyes. Best not to think about it. Kirby certainly thought so as the idea of imagining that situation would only make Kirby shudder to himself.

Along the way, Kirby saw many great sights that he would remember for many years. One of these events was climbing inside of a giant tree. Kirby still couldn't believe it when he saw it for himself. How was Kirby to climb that tree? Well, alongside being able to use his inhale ability to suck in enemies and spit them out as projectiles, Kirby could also inhale a huge breath of air and become so light that Kirby could fly indefinitely by flapping his arms. Kirby knew he had this uncanny ability to fly but never really seemed to use it much in the past, unless it was to pluck an apple from a tree of course. But, more than ever, Kirby would be relying on this strange technique in order to bring back the stolen food and return to Dreamland victorious.

As Kirby was strolling along Green greens with a goal in mind, he suddenly noticed something that grabbed his attention. There was a group of butterflies hovering about a particular spot. Kirby's interest was peaked at this seemingly tiny and trivial distraction.

"Hmm...?"

Kirby crept up to the butterflies as they danced around a group of flowers. Kirby could hardly believe his eyes and gasped so loud that he might have woken up some of the wildlife around him. No wonder that these butterflies gathered around that one location. But, just as Kirby was about to lean forward and take a closer look at these one of a kind flowers, an extremely loud noise could be heard. This cause the butterflies to scatter in a frenzy. Kirby was so shocked at this sudden outburst of sound that he actually went wide eyed and fell backwards. And due to Kirby's ball like shape and gravity, he tumbled. And tumbled. And kept tumbling. Kirby went quite a fair distance before he finally got back to his feet and saw who was responsible for this disruption. In the distance, a big looking enemy was jumping from spot to spot, throwing explosive bombs all around Green greens. Kirby took on a look of panic as he eyed the ballistic bomber.

(If that maniac keeps throwing explosives all over the place, he could destroy the wildlife's homes! I need to put a stop to him. And fast!)

With a face that showed pure determination and heroicness, Kirby gave himself a nod as to reassure himself and confronted the demolition doofus. Kirby shouted at the top of his lungs.

"HIIII! Poyo, poyo!" (HEY, YOU! Stop your assault at once!)

This caught the attackers attention. With one quick motion, he turned around to face whoever has halting his fun. This was when Kirby could finally get a good glance at the unknown bomber. He wore a blue sleeping hat and bright yellow shoes. A blue shirt that was buttoned up could be seen on him as well. He had an wide, almost cute, smile on his face at all times. This just made his constant hobby of throwing bombs even more unrelenting. He spoke back to Kirby in a very annoyed tone.

"Aww! But I just love throwing bombs all over the place. It's like a fireworks display in the palm of your hands!"

When the next sentence was spoke by the blue bombardier, he quickly got himself another bomb ready to throw. But this time, he intended to throw these explosives at one specific target. Kirby!

"And the name is Poppy Bros Sr. King Dedede has already told me about you. Give up now or join us, Kirby! It'll be the bomb-diggity!"

After that delightfully punny exchange between Poppy Bros Sr., Kirby was suddenly making a dive for the ground. The bomb flew right over Kirby and landed behind him, making a booming sound that echoed through the entirety of Green greens. Kirby figured that this was to be his first fight. It was a rather scary feeling but it also made Kirby incredibly energized, like a car with a turbo boost. It was possibly this energy that gave Kirby the courage to stare down the bomb closing in between him and attempt to inhale it. And to Kirby's surprise, it worked! The bomb was no match for the flurry of wind that was spiralling in front of it and got sucked into Kirby's mouth. But just when Kirby was about to let loose and fire the bomb at Poppy Bros Sr., Kirby soon realised that he had vanished! A range of different thoughts appeared in Kirby's head. But one thought remained constant.

(Where did he go!?)

When Poppy Bros Sr., had finally fallen back down to the ground thanks to an incredible leap into the sky, he tried to ambush Kirby with a sneaky bomb throw. Kirby had barely any time to react at all, as just as he had registered what was happening, he jumped. Just as the bomb had landed underneath Kirby!

KABOOM!

That was the sound left by the explosive. When Poppy Bros Sr. Looked around the huge area of dust that was generated from the explosion, his expression got bewildered. The same thought that had entered Kirby's head a moment ago had seemed to made it's way to the entrance of the advisories' head instead. If Poppy Bros Sr. had looked up, however, he would have been able to decipher a pink puffball from the sky with a bomb still fresh in his mouth.

(NOW!)

Kirby spat out the bomb with as much force as he could and let everything else take its place. Poppy Bros Sr. Failed to notice the bomb falling above him until it had practically landed on top of his head. He paused for a brief second before reluctantly and slowly edging his eyes above him. While a drop of sweat fell from the top of his head, Poppy Bros Sr, only had one thing to possibly add before the bomb on top of his noodle exploded.

"Uh oh..."

KABLAM!

"AHHH!"

That was the last thing that could be heard from the unfortunate soul before he was launched into the atmosphere with a cloud of smoke following him as he flew all across Planet Popstar. Needless to say, he went out with a bang. The fields of Green greens were now no longer in danger of becoming a bomb site.

Landing on his feet, Kirby looked at the general location where Poppy Bros Sr. had been launched. The once audible screams of Poppy Bros Sr. were now long gone. Kirby was a little bit fatigued after that encounter. It took a lot of his strength and energy to finally rid this menace. But Kirby had finally done it. He won. Kirby took this time of celebration to sit down and rest up a little before he continued his journey through Green greens. He still had to go through a dense forest in order to make it to Dedede's castle. Before Kirby decided to completely close his eyes though, he whispered one thing that was only heard by the greatest of listeners.

"Poyo...zzz..." (I hope I don't have to fight him in the future...zzz...)
