CHAPTER 2-1
-The Islands of Gloam-
As stuff was beginning to get drawn, some beautiful grass was starting to appear in green colors. The place didn't seem all that flat, though. It felt a bit on the bumpy side. When everything was colored, everything started to look a little summery with the sky being orange and the water being orange.
Once the orange door appeared, Chopper and his new party member Kirby walked out of it to see where they were.
"Strange… I don't recall the door leading us somewhere around here…" Tippi remarked as she looked at the grass and the small hills. "Something must not be right here… Did Tipral toss the door someplace farther to further our progress?"
"Poyo? (Tipral? So he's behind something, isn't he, Chopper?)" Kirby questioned.
"Yeah, he's been causing a bit of a ruckus lately! I'm getting a bit tired of him now, now that you mention it." Chopper turned back around and looked around at the view. "Say… This is a nice place! It kinda reminds me of Sunset Hill for some reason…"
"Poyo? (Sunset Hill? Ahhhh… I remember that place. Good times…)"
"Sunset Hill? What kind of place is that?" Tippi questioned.
"Oh, it's this beautiful place that's back in our dimension where this town was surrounded by these other areas. But, maybe it's best not to speak about that. We're in a new world now, y'know."
"I suppose…" Tippi fluttered on ahead. "I can feel that the Pure Heart is…pretty far… It might take some time to get through here, I believe…"
"Then let's get going!" Chopper began to charge up a Speed Dash as he brought his arms back. "I'm going to speed through this level with ease!"
He immediately blasted off, running through the small hills until he got to a gap between the grass and a grassy platform up above the water. There was no way he could make that jump.
"Poyo! (Wait up, Chopper!)" Kirby started to pant as he finally made it to Chopper. "Poyo… (Slow down, will you? I can't run as fast as you, don't you remember?)"
"Oh, yeah… Sorry, Kirby. But, at least I finally stopped." Chopper turned to the grassy platform above the water. "I don't think I can reach that…not even that Bronto Burt could help me make it up there."
Kirby noticed the Bronto Burt and he immediately inhaled it and swallowed it. Unfortunately, nothing happened.
"Well what was the point of that?" Chopper questioned.
"Poyo, (I don't know,)" Kirby took notice of Thoreau. "Poyo? (Hey, Chopper… Who's that hand-like thing that's behind you?)"
"You mean Thoreau? He's a Pixl, just like Tippi. Except that he gives me this cool ability to grab things and throw them at enemies. You wanna use him? I know that you can't jump on enemies, so it would be fair…"
"Poyo? (Really? You would do that? You know you don't have to…)"
"Well, I have Tippi here, so I think it makes sense that you should have a Pixl of your own. Here, take Thoreau." Chopper let Thoreau go over to him.
"I hope I can be of good assistance, hero," Thoreau hoped as he looked at the second hero, Kirby.
"OK, Kirby… For right now, you're gonna have to make your way up there with your floating." Chopper suggested. "…And then try to help me get up there afterward. Don't worry, it'll be all right."
With one nod, Kirby inhaled a bunch of air before floating up to the grassy platform. He turned around and used his Inhaling ability to get Chopper onto the platform – without him going into his mouth, of course.
"Poyo? (So, this red door is where we need to go?)" Kirby asked. Chopper gave him a nod and he walked through it to another area. This time, they were on this little island with a Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo.
"All right! Now it's time for…" Chopper's jaw hit the ground as Kirby swallowed the Waddle Dee and then swallowed the Waddle Doo to gain the Beam ability. "Oh, come on! I didn't even get a chance to make a move!"
"So he can gain abilities just like you…" Tippi noticed as Kirby started to make his way over to the next island ahead by floating. He could even do some damage to the Bronto Burts when he exhaled a big puff of air. He then proceeded to float over and avoid cannonballs being fired from cannons floating in the water.
"Are you kidding me? I have to swim through all of that?!" Chopper gulped as he looked down at the water. "All right… I'll be a man and do this. …No! I'm NOT a man! I'm a ten-year-old kid!"
"I don't think you can even use your Speed Dash now…" Tippi stated.
"Yeah, I know that, but that's not going to… Wait, I got a better idea!" Chopper flipped into 3-D and he immediately jumped into the water, going around the cannons that were in the center.
"Yup! This is by far the best idea I've ever come up with!" he declared as he got on the island and flipped into 2-D. He and Kirby were on this smaller little island. It was almost like some platform.
"Kirby, try to slow down a bit. I can't cross this water so easily like you." Chopper panted, taking a seat on the grass.
"Poyo… (Well, sorry if you can't keep up…)" Kirby turned to a Blooper that was floating out of the water and he destroyed it with a charged beam attack. It even knocked some of the other Bloopers coming out on the other side.
Kirby jumped on another platform nearby and that's when he began to float over the water to a larger island ahead. He easily avoided the cannonballs being fired at him, making Chopper a bit annoyed.
"This isn't what I was hoping for when we would work together," Chopper groaned. He noticed there were some fish with goggles in the water. He decided to check what they are using Tippi's powers.
"That's a Blipper. All it really does is swim around… Max HP is 2. Attack is 1. It's only a fish, so it's not much of a big deal…" Tippi informed. Chopper decided to see what those cannons were, so he checked them out with Tippi's power.
"That's a cannon. It simply shoots cannonballs at you in any direction. You can't defeat it, so all you can do is avoid it… However, you can inhale the cannonballs and use them against any other enemy if possible…"
"All right, thanks for the tips, Tipps!" Chopper waited for the right moment to jump, while Tippi rolled her eyes. If he could jump on those Blippers, then he didn't have to swim through this madness.
After stretching, he immediately jumped on the Blipper closest to him first, performing a Stylish and then stomping on the next one. He noticed Kirby was waiting over by the island up ahead.
"Well, at least he's waiting," he sighed in relief as he stomped on the last two Blippers to make his way over to the island. He noticed that this one had some coconuts on the palm trees and a wooden block that can be thrown at a blue ! Switch up on the island ahead.
"Poyo? (How are we going to get this block over to that island ahead? There's no way I can pick up an enemy from the water, because I'll just sink down into a bottomless pit! Isn't there a way to get across?)" Kirby started to ponder.
"Let me see what's around," Chopper threw his arms up in the air and flipped into 3-D. He noticed a path of ? Blocks were leading across to the island. "Ah! There's the problem!"
"Poyo? (What is it?)" questioned Kirby.
"Oh, it's simple," Chopper explained as he flipped into 2-D. "I saw a trail of blocks that can lead us over to the island! …Just watch out for the coconuts first. I think those'll explode if you get close to them."
"Why not just inhale them yourself?" Tippi suggested.
"Hmmmmm… You make an excellent point, Tipps." Chopper got rid of the coconuts by inhaling them and swallowing them. "Mmmmmm! It's been a while since I had some good ol' food in my tummy!"
"Are you always hungry?"
"Well, duh! Why do you think I can use this inhaling ability? But, anyway, let's just get started already." Chopper grabbed Kirby's arm and they flipped into 3-D. Using Thoreau, Kirby grabbed the box and they made their way across the row of blocks to the other side.
After flipping back, Kirby jumped and threw the block at the blue ! Switch, making a Door Key come down from the ground. Kirby was the one to get it.
"Hey, what's this?" Chopper saw a microphone sitting down on the ground. He shrugged and swallowed it to get the Mike ability, giving him these cool headphones. Unfortunately, the attack can only be used three times.
"Poyo… (Only use that when it's necessary…)" Kirby warned.
"Don't worry, I will," Chopper assured as they walked on ahead to a bunch of coconuts on trees and even a lot of Waddle Dees and Bronto Burts.
"Now THIS is when I can put my singing into action!" Chopper began to sing a song through the mic in his horrible singing voice. He knew just what song would be fitting for it.
"Who's the girl next door, living in the haunted mansion? You better learn my name, 'cause it's Ashley!" Because of the bad singing voice, all of the enemies exploded into white smoke. It was THAT bad.
"Well, I sure did something… Let's move on." Chopper made his way over to a small little pool of orange water at the end of the island. He and Kirby jumped into the water and into the door.
"Oh, god… Don't tell me we have to go through one of these swimming levels now, do we?" Chopper groaned as they stepped into another area that was all underwater – except for an island up above them.
"Poyo? (What's wrong with swimming underwater?)" Kirby asked. He was suddenly wearing goggles, but his jester-like hat wasn't on him now.
"What's wrong with it? Don't you understand that water areas are the WORST?! Sure, I love a good swim and all…but then there's the fact that my inhaling doesn't work in here, so all I can do is squirt water at my enemies. Too bad we don't have a sword, 'cause we could slice through some of the enemies here."
"Hmmmmm… Well, the water's not too bad." Thoreau stated.
"Poyo… (It's a good thing Sonic's not here… He hates the water more than anybody in the world! I mean, did you see his face when we were going through that temple on Clearno Island? That was hilarious!)"
"Oh, yeah! That was funny!" Chopper swam to the right and he began to squirt water at the Cheep-Cheeps and Blippers that were in his path. Kirby did the same thing as he followed Chopper through the watery area.
They came across a locked door when they swam for about thirty seconds, but the bad news was that it was locked.
"I remember there being an island above us… I suggest we take a look there…" Tippi suggested.
"Good idea," Chopper swam away from the locked door and he made his way up to the surface. Just to make sure there wasn't anything else around, he flipped into 3-D. All there was were some Blippers and Bloopers. That's just about it.
After reaching the surface, they took the time to dry themselves off before going into another area. After some time, they walked in to find a grassy area with some Bronto Burts flying around and these small yellow blocks that are on these platforms that a spiked Cyclops was hitting each time it moved up.
"Let's see what that spiked monster is," Chopper used Tippi's powers once again to gather some information. Kirby nearly gawked when he saw Chopper's eyes glow a rainbow color.
"Poyo? (What the… Are you all right?)" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm all right! Tippi just went in my head just to help me find some information on that thing!" the ray of rainbow colors shone upon the Gordo and in no time, Chopper began to get some information.
"That's a Gordo. It's a creature that can only move in four directions… You can't defeat it. All you can do is avoid it… But, you can get rid of it if it flies up into the sky…" Tippi informed.
"So, what you're saying is that… Oh, hold on a minute. We got some enemies coming up!" Chopper pulled the microphone out again and he began to sing another song in a horrible voice. It defeated every single enemy around them – but not the block.
"Poyo! (I'll take care of the Gordo!)" Kirby jumped on the platform and he swung his wand, firing beam energy at the block. The Gordo immediately flew up into the sky, never to be seen again.
"Well there goes the Gordo," Chopper gawked before moving on ahead. There may not be any loops around here, but he can surely run if he wanted to and do some jumping as well.
The area wasn't too big, but when they walked through the door, they found a bigger area with some pipes and even some Goombas and Koopas, to Kirby's surprise.
"Poyo? (What the… Chopper, aren't these enemies we've seen back in Rogueport Sewers?)" questioned Kirby.
"Yeah, but heads up! That Goomba's about to headbonk us!" Chopper jumped out of the way before the Goomba could attack. He simply finished it off with a stomp before stomping on the Koopa, making him hide in his shell.
Chopper stepped out of the way to allow Kirby to kick it, knocking the rest of the Goombas and Koopas away until the shell came back at them from the pipe. But, all they had to do was jump over it.
"Let's just be cheap and flip into 3-D. We'll simply go around everything!" Chopper grabbed Kirby's arm and he flipped into 3-D, going past all of the pipes and enemies and to a…door covered in bricks?
"Huh? Why's this door covered in bricks? Think you can destroy them, Kirby?" Chopper stepped out of the way so Kirby could charge up a beam attack.
"Poyo… (I'll try…)" Kirby unleashed the powerful beam attack, but, to his surprise, it didn't work.
"Crud… I guess it did nothing." Chopper face palmed as he turned around. "Hold on… Maybe those pipes might lead us somewhere… Maybe we ought to take a look at one of those!"
When he saw the Piranha Plants rise up from the pipe, he immediately used his last Mike attack, singing in his horrible singing voice once again to finish the plants. He checked one of the pipes for anything. Luckily, the middle pipe led him down somewhere.
"Poyo! (Wait for me!)" Kirby shouted as he jumped into the pipe after him.
Underground-
"Poyo? (What the heck's that thing over there?)" Kirby questioned, pointing to a worm-like creature with a strange mouth and a lot of legs. Chopper decided to get some information by using Tippi's power.
"That bizarre creature is a Shlurp. It has tough skin and an appetite for everything... No attack will work... But Shlurps are just as fragile inside as they are tough on the outside... Maybe you should try feeding it something that would give it indigestion..." Tippi informed.
"What? No attack will work against it?! That's not good! Then how do we get past it?" Chopper exclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure you can find something around here…" Tippi assured.
"Poyo! (Yeah, she's right! I can see a blue ! Switch over by the corner! I think I can reach it!)" Kirby puffed himself up as he floated up to the corner of the room by the right. After letting out the puff of air, a door was made.
"Hmmmmmm… I get a strange vibe from entering this door, but I'll do it anyway." Chopper opened the red door and he walked into a small room with a Motobug charging at him.
"Heads up, Kirby!" Chopper shouted. Kirby sent the enemy flying to the wall with one charged up beam blast. That caused paper to flip in the center of the room, making a large chest appear.
"Poyo! (Hey! There's a big chest! I bet it's a new upgrade!)" Kirby bet.
"An upgrade? Oh, boy! I can't wait to see that new hammer!" Chopper opened the chest, hoping for a hammer to come out.
"KA-BOOOOOOOOOM!" the voice came out of the box and, of course, just like Thoreau and Tippi, his speech bubble was just the same.
"Poyo? (What was that?)" Kirby questioned.
To Chopper and Kirby's surprise, a yellow Pixl that resembled a missile came out of the chest.
"So, ya finally got me outta the chest? BOOM! Well, I'm glad you finally did that! KA-BOOM! I thought for a minute I was going to EXPLODE in there! EXPLOSION! But, anyway… Allow me to introduce myself. BAM! The name's Hommissile. My game is blowing things up! BOOM!"
"So Thoreau's not the only Pixl besides Tippi… This is rather strange…" Chopper pondered a bit before Hommissile floated down to Chopper to take a look at him.
"Hey! You! Listen to me! KA-BOOM! I've been sitting in that chest for 1,500 years waiting for the hero! …Wait, if I'm free, does this mean you're… Holy… So you ARE the hero! …Boom?"
"Strange… I've never seen a Pixl shaped like a missile before…" Tippi gawked.
"Well, I can't do anything else besides homing in on enemies and exploding! BOOM! Look, let me ask you a question and then I'll see if you're worthy. OK… Now… If there's one thing I want to do right now, what would it be?"
"Would it be to explode?" Chopper guessed.
"Ha HA! You got it! So you ARE the hero after all! BAM! I feel like I could explode with delight! C'mon, now! I think you're worthy of my power!" Hommissile circled around Chopper before he held him up.
The angry, but delightfully exploding missile has become your friend! Use Hommissile's power to fire at anything in sight and blow it up! This is useful when you're trying to blow up cracks or bricks.
"And now, with you on my side, we shall blow everything up in sight! BOOM!" Hommissile declared.
"And that I shall do!" Chopper smirked, now having a Pixl buddy of his. "Well, looks like we both have something useful in our hands, huh, Kirby?"
"Poyo… (Wait, we can finally blow up those bricks in our way with him! We should head back there!)" Kirby suggested.
"Sounds like a plan to me! But, let's see if we can take care of that Shlurp back in the other room. I gotta test Hommissile's ability!" Chopper smirked as he walked into the other underground room. The Shlurp was still moving around, making its way over to Chopper and Kirby.
"Take this!" Chopper sent Hommissile straight at the Shlurp's mouth; inhaling the thing…and having it explode from the inside. In no time at all, it was gone.
"Let's go back to the door so we can finally get through it and hopefully find a Door Key," Chopper suggested.
At the door-
"All right, do your thing, Hommissile!" Chopper tossed his new Pixl at the bricks blocking the door, causing an explosion to occur. A red door was revealed to be behind it.
"Ah, that felt good! KA-BOOM!" Hommissile said with joy.
"Let's go!" Chopper opened the door to another area. It was a smaller one with a little pool and some lily pads. Across the water were three Waddle Dees holding spears. They seemed to be talking.
"Poyo… (Well, looks like we've got some Waddle Dees to take down…)" Kirby began to float over the water to the other side. Chopper, on the other hand, was forced to jump on the lily pads.
The Waddle Dees turned around and saw Kirby. One of them threw their spear at Kirby, knocking him into the water. But, since he was able to get back up, he immediately swam back to the surface.
"This should take care of 'em!" Chopper threw Hommissile at the three Waddle Dees, knocking them away from the huge explosion.
"That took care of them…" Tippi gawked as a chest was being drawn. Chopper opened it to find a Door Key inside.
"Ahhhh! Now we've got the key! Took us long enough… Anyway, let's head back since we've gotten find Merlee's Mansion…wherever that could be."
Back in the water area-
"Poyo! (I feel like I could take a swim through this water all day!)" Kirby said cheerfully as he began to swim backwards underwater, looking a bit relax. Chopper wanted to question why, but he thought of something else.
"So… You'd rather swim here in this water filled with baddies that most likely want to destroy you, right? 'Cause that's what I'm seeing here…"
"…Poyo. (Yeah, good point. I think I'd rather go to Merlee's Mansion instead. Besides, that place is a MANSION, so it should be quite enjoyable. At least… That's what I think it'll be."
"Hopefully it will," Chopper agreed, swimming down to the door, getting rid of any Blippers by squirting water at them or firing Hommissile at them. He found out that using the missile Pixl worked better.
Making it back to the locked door, Chopper put the key in the lock, and then they immediately made their way into another water area. This time, they saw a larger island up ahead, but they could hear someone's voice over there as well.
"Hmmmm? That voice sounds familiar…" Chopper hit the ? Block that was right by the door. A Mushroom came out, to their surprise, but, since Kirby had less HP at this moment, he took it.
"Poyo… (Now let's take a look at who's moaning…)" Kirby made his way up to the surface and onto the island. Chopper, on the other hand, hit the Save Block right next to him first.
"Ooooog… I don't feel so good…" Kirby gaped when he saw King Dedede lying face-flat on the ground with his foot twitching. "What… What happened? In fact… Am I dead?"
"Poyo?" Kirby poked King Dedede's robe before he immediately got up.
"What the… Kirby?! What are you doing here?!" King Dedede exclaimed when he first saw Kirby. He nearly gaped when he saw Chopper jump out of the water. "Wh-What?! Now there's Chopper, too?!"
"King Dedede? I haven't seen you in a while…" Chopper recalled, walking over to the fat king. "Last time I saw you, you gave me and my friends those cool medals. Did things turn out better in Dream Land?"
"Poyo… (Not really… He's been stealing people's food, that's for sure.)"
"I did NOT!" King Dedede retorted. "Now, let's get down to the chase! Tell me where we are NOW! And where are my men? I need them to help me!"
He turned to see a Waddle Dee walk over to him.
"Hey, minion! I need you to help me find out where I am!" he spat. Unfortunately, the Waddle Dee didn't listen to him and he simply walked away. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?! Don't leave me here, you fool! You're showing disrespect to your king, you know!"
"It's hopeless… You're not going to get him to change…" Tippi stated. "Your minions don't work for you anymore… They are now minions of Tipral... I'm sure that he's the one responsible for you being here…"
"What the… Since when did you two have a talking butterfly? …And two other weird things shaped like a hand and a missile! GRRAAGGH! Where the heck am I?!" King Dedede felt like he was going to pull his hair out.
He felt something hit him from behind. It came from a Squig on the island. "What the heck is THIS thing? It honestly thinks it can hit me like that?! Oh… Now I'm really angry!"
King Dedede pulled his large hammer out and he slammed it on the Squig, squishing it entirely until it was dead.
"You guys are next!" he growled, turning to them. "You, Kirby… You're always getting in my way of my plans! And then you, Chopper… You're responsible for beating me before… Now I'm going to get back at you!"
He raised his hammer up in the air before slamming it down in front of Kirby. A yellow star appeared before their very eyes.
"I got this one!" Chopper inhaled the star and then he spat it out at King Dedede in the stomach, making him hold his belly in pain.
"Oi! You're gonna pay for that, Chopper!" King Dedede brought his hammer up and he tried bringing it down on Chopper. Unfortunately, for him, his attack missed because it was so slow.
"Let's see what we can get from him," Chopper smirked as he began to use Tippi's powers to gather information on King Dedede.
"That's King Dedede… He's supposedly the ruler of Dream Land…or at least that's what he says… Max HP is 30. Attack is 2. He'll try to hurt you with that giant hammer of his. If he does, you'll most likely become flat… Luckily, this attack is slow, so you'll probably have a chance to get away before he does so… He might also try to inhale you, stomp on you and fall over on you… But, just like his hammer, that's a bit on the slow side as well… The main difference here is that you're faster than him, and that's all that matters… Using Hommissile would be a bad idea either…" Tippi informed.
"Hmmmm… Well, that's some good advice, Tippi. Better throw Hommissile at him!" Chopper threw his missile Pixl straight at King Dedede, knocking him back with an explosion.
"Oof! Wha…? Now these things have powers too?! Oh, come on! This makes me MAD!" King Dedede jumped up and he stomped on Chopper, flattening him. However, he was soon struck by a charged up beam attack from Kirby's Beam ability.
"Oh, you really think I forgot about you, huh?" King Dedede grabbed the Waddle Dee that walked away. "Take this!"
He threw the Waddle Dee straight at Kirby, but he simply got in his defensive stance to take very little damage, making the Waddle Dee bounce off. Afterward, he got rid of the Waddle Dee and then fired some beam energy at King Dedede once again.
Angered, King Dedede slowly made his way over to Kirby. He pretended to trip so he would fall over him. Of course, that was his usual move. When he got up after flattening Kirby, he used his inhaling ability himself to inhale him and spit him out over by the water.
"Heh heh heh! I'm so awesome! You still can't take me down, Kirby!" King Dedede chortled until he felt an explosion coming from his back.
"Huh?!" He turned to find Chopper clenching his fists at him. "You're still up? I thought that stomp attack would've got you! Grrrrrr!"
He brought his hammer up, attempting to hit Chopper with it. Unfortunately, due to his speed, he wasn't able to find out where he went. It ended up leading to him getting stomped a couple of times.
"Woo-hoo!" Chopper made a couple of Stylish moves until he landed no the ground and got grabbed by King Dedede.
"Now I've got you!" He whacked Chopper in the face with his hammer, knocking him back over to the water where Kirby was in. It looked like King Dedede was the winner, to his surprise.
"Whoa… Did I seriously win that fight? I don't believe it! I defeated my long-time nemesis and an enemy that almost ruined an anime! I RULE!" King Dedede started to do a dance until a coconut fell on his head.
"Oof! …What the heck was that?" King Dedede questioned, rubbing his head. Unfortunately, he didn't see Hommissile coming straight at him, knocking him back again.
"All right, let's get back to business!" Chopper jumped out of the water, quickly shaking himself before charging at King Dedede. Kirby got out as well and he began to charge up another beam attack.
"Poyo! (Stand back, Chopper! I've got a beam attack with King Dedede's name on it!)" Kirby fired the beam blast straight at King Dedede when he had the chance, causing some damage to the king.
"I gotta take that Beam ability out of Kirby!" King Dedede thought. He immediately inhaled the air as he puffed his stomach up like a balloon, floating around. He came down on Kirby to knock his Beam ability into the water – which turned out to be a success.
"Poyo! (No! Not my Beam ability!)" Kirby cried.
"Heh heh heh! Now this should be easy pickings!" King Dedede tried to grin, despite the fact that his cheeks were puffed up. Chopper managed to get all the air out of him by stomping on his head.
"Oof! …You made a cheap move there, kid!" the king collapsed on the ground, but he immediately got up and he began to slam his hammer at Chopper, despite the fact that he dodged his attacks.
"Stop moving so fast! Get back here!"
"No way!" Chopper turned around, sending Hommissile at him to knock him back over by Kirby.
"Poyo! (All right, I'll try something else!)" Kirby tried to dodge King Dedede's hammer swiping at him and block one of his other attacks by bringing his arms up. When the king slammed his hammer to the ground, that's when he made his move. He inhaled the star and spat it out at the king.
"All right, looks like he's close to being finished… I'll try to make a blow then you made the next move. …Although, I think I DO have some sort of plan!" Chopper rushed at King Dedede. When the king turned around, he was struck by Chopper's Spinning Kick attack, hitting his face a couple of time, sending him back.
"Grrrrrrrr! You'll regret that!" King Dedede managed to get a hold of Chopper and slam him to the ground with his hammer. He then turned to Kirby, panting.
"All right, Kirby… You're next!" he growled, raising his hammer up.
Chopper slowly raised his head up, to Tippi's surprise. "Chopper? What… What are you doing?"
"What do you think it looks like? I'm trying to help Kirby! …Hommissile… Go after Kirby." Chopper smirked.
"If I must… Then I shall… KA-BOOM!" Hommissile flew over King Dedede and went straight to Kirby.
"All right, Kirby! This is it!" King Dedede was about to bring his hammer down on the weak hero.
…Until he saw Hommissile coming his way.
Kirby knew exactly what to do. If he used Thoreau, that wouldn't be a safe thing. So, he inhaled Hommissile and spat him out straight at King Dedede, putting an end to the fight.
"OOF!" King Dedede collapsed as Chopper and Kirby walked over to him. "Urggh… I can't believe I was beaten…by two creampuffs! How could this happen to me? I thought for sure that I had this!"
"I'm certain that you know that speed usually beats power…" Tippi stated before King Dedede got up.
"All right, listen. I give up. You guys win this fight for now." King Dedede panted as he looked around his surroundings. "But there's one thing I'm a little curious about… Where are we?"
"We're in Gloam Valley… Or, we MAY be getting there… I suppose Tipral was responsible for sending you here…"
"Tipral? You mean that weird dark guy that looks just like Chopper? Yeah… I remember him sending me somewhere strange… But why am I suddenly here? Why was I taken here in the first place?"
"We don't know why. We just found you here and you attacked us." Chopper replied. "But, it would be nice if you gave us a hand. We tried asking Meta Knight…or rather, he said he would himself, but he couldn't 'cause his sword's lost."
"Are you freakin' kidding me?! There's no way I'm helping you! Why would I join up with my biggest enemies? I don't have a reason to!"
"But your strength could be of great use…" Tippi said.
"Pbbbbbbth! Like I even care! Get out of the way now! I'm gonna see if I can find anything around here!" King Dedede pushed Chopper and Kirby out of the way and he jumped into the water.
"Well that was rude… Oh, well." Chopper turned to the door ahead and he made his way into another area that was flat and only contained some Waddle Dees and Bronto Burts. At the end of the area was a Star Block.
"Poyo! (What's that thing all the way at the end?)" Kirby questioned.
"That's a Star Block. We can end this level if we hit it. That's what I'm gonna try to do!" Chopper got into a Speed Dash and he rushed his way past the Waddle Dees and Bronto Burts, knocking them back until he got to the block.
Kirby finished the Bronto Burts by grabbing one with Thoreau and throwing them at each other. When he finally got to Chopper, the pale green hero punched the block from underneath to break it and put an end to this chapter.
END OF CHAPTER
Chopper and Kirby were still a bit surprised to see their enemy, King Dedede around Gloam Valley. But even still, not even he agreed to help them out. "He did the same thing that Bowser did," recalled Tippi as she followed Chopper and Kirby through the grassy plains to their next destination. They knew now that they were getting closer to Merlee's Mansion at this point.
