Dream Land 2

Black Shadow and his army of Blood Falcons jumped out of their vehicles. "Fear not," King Dedede said. "I will save us all. Waddle-Dees. Attack!" The Waddle-Dees waddled very slowly forward. The Blood Falcons easily uppercut them into the sky.

Meta Knight jumped into the air. "Don't send an army of Waddle-Dees to do a knight's job." He dashed forward, drop kicking a Blood Falcon in the chest. He held up Galaxia and swiped frantically at all those around him. "Hiyiyiya!"

Kirby tapped Alph on the shoulder. "Sorry." He opened his mouth wide, sucking Alph inside his stomach before spitting back out. A light stuck out the top of Kirby's head while he had grown a bulbous nose. He jumped high, tossing Pikmin at the Blood Falcons from a safe distance. Bandana Dee charged forward, stabbing any Blood Falcon he could with his spear.

"Falcon," Black shadow shouted, shaking his fists. "You should teach your little pets to be more obedient." He threw a ball of electricity, which Captain Falcon ducked.

"Oh, they are obedient," Captain Falcon. "They obey my commands to beat you. Falcon punch!" Black Shadow jumped over him as he launched his attack.

Olimar and Alph commanded their Pikmin, having them bite the blood from the Falcon imposters as they clung to their skin. King Dedede threw Gordos at them, taking the wind out of their stomachs. Isabelle whimpered, slowly being closed in on by four Blood Falcons. "Oh, Villager? What do I do?"

"It's easy," Villager said, smiling as he shovelled three Blood Falcons beneath the dirt. "You just need to fight back."

"But I've never fought before."

Saliva dribbled down Villagers chin as he closed in face to face with a Blood Falcon. "You've never lived." He cracked the Blood Falcon atop the head with the spade. The Blood Falcon did not turn into a trophy but turned into wispy lines moving towards clouds as if he was a ghost called up to heaven.

Isabelle closed her eyes tight. "Alright, Isabelle. You know you can do this. You've just gotta…" She pulled out her fishing rod, catching a Blood Falcon on the end of it and spinning him around so he collided with all the other Blood Falcons. She looked at the ground, somehow summoning Lloid the gyroid who burst into the air like a rocket taking the Blood Falcon on the end of her fishing rod with it as he screamed OOOOOOOOOOH. She looked down at the three Blood Falcons in front of her and gave herself a pat on the back.

Black Shadow and Captain Falcon fought back and forth, exchanging kicks and punches. "What's your game, Black Shadow? Why are you following us?"

Black Shadow kicked Captain Falcon in the stomach, winding him and sending him crashing to the ground. He raised his arms, creating a huge ball of electricity above him. "You won't live long enough to find out." The blazing hammer whacked him across the face, smashing him deep into the woods. King Dedede laughed as the jet disappeared back into his hammer.

The Blood Falcons all turned into ghostly silhouettes that ascended into the sky. "The dark one must have had control over them," Meta-Knight said. He pulled in beside Captain Falcon. "You know, for a harmless looking crew, you sure do cause a lot of destruction."

Captain Falcon looked at Kirby eating a cake, and Bandana Dee giving King Dedede a back massage. "I could say the same about yours."

When Black Shadow was revived, he found himself tied to tree and his nemesis staring back at him. "Fool, Falcon. You think this rope will hold me." He struggled to no avail.

"Yes, I do actually," Captain Falcon said. "Villager here tells us all he has much practice tying inescapable knots. You're going nowhere, Black Shadow. Tell us, why are you following us."

"But I can't betray my master. He sees everything."

"He'll see you stuck here then, all by yourself, a failure." Captain Falcon and the others turned to walk.

"Alright," Black Shadow shouted. "I was sent by a pair of hands in Subspace. They sent us to empty all the lands of this world."

"For what reason?"

"For the clear out." Black Shadow laughed. "You may stop me, Falcon, but you'll never stop us. Even now, there are many lands falling at our hands. Soon, there will be nothing left." Captain Falcon falcon punched him from one-yard range, turning him into a trophy.

"Ooh, Subspace," Kirby said. "I love visiting new places."

King Dedede rubbed his belly. "I bet they have exquisite food up there."

"Subspace… does that name not ring a bell with anybody else?" Meta Knight said.

"Can't say I've ever heard it before," Isabelle said.

"What d'ya say, alienman?" Captain Falcon asked Olimar. "Ready for a ride to Subspace?"

"Actually, me and Alph better be getting back to Hocotate. The Pikmin grow restless from too much danger."

"Could you take us back home, on your way?" Isabelle said. "We have to know that our friends are alright now that they are rid of Black Shadow." Olimar nodded.

"Don't look so worried, race driver," King Dedede said. "We'll take the royal Halberd."

Meta Knight grunted. "You mean my Halberd."

"Relax, Meta Knight. I will allow you to drive it."

"Who says I'm going with you?" He crossed his arms.

"But we have to go," Kirby said. "You heard what the man said. His master wants to clear out the world."

"Even so, somebody has to stay here and protect it." He sighed. "Reluctantly, I shall let you take the Halberd. So long as you're the one driving it, Captain."

Meta-Knight led them towards his grand battleship, while Olimar's space rocket rose into the sky. Kirby waved at Villager who stared from the rocket window.
