I need a monsta to clobba dat dere Kirby! "That's what we do best at NME. So you better get your money back guarantee! LOL From these lyrics alone, you can already tell how this chapter will go. All I'll have to say is that Dedede is going to make a great escape from one of the Legion's warship with Bandanna Dee and the rest of the Dedede Fleet on their way. But the real question is, how will he make it out alive with a group of dangerous villains and the Deadly Six's technology out for his blood? All questions will be answered soon as you read this fantastic chapter of Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed.
The pudgy king of Dreamland kept running at a speed comparable to his Waddle Dee henchmen as he ran down the endless halls of the Legion's massive warship. He had his massive hammer in hand just in case any ruffian were to pick a fight with him while he's trying to escape for his great get away. He looked at his Dedede Cell Phone with a determined look and saw if Bandanna Dee had any extra messages for him in case they were on their way to the ship.
Bandanna Dee, I'm really hoping you can bring the others here as fast as you can. I can get myself frozen by their special guns if they were to catch me or even worse.
It appears that this wasn't it since there appears to be a group of strange looking robots heading for his tail at full speed. These were the Zeti Bots that the Deadly Six had created and Master Zik was smart enough to bring a few of them with him and the others in case certain people were to get out of line. Two of them were the muscular Zeti designs from Zor's blueprints while the other two were feminine with a sharp horn for impaling. The smug king looked back at them with a sneer and knew that these guys were definitely made to hunt betrayers of the Legion like him.
"You guys want a piece of me? Then run a little faster and you can finally earn your well deserved prize!" he shouts.
The masculine Zeti Bots charged a bit faster and held their horns heads down in a manner of a charging bull, generating volts of electricity in them to make sure Dedede were to be intimidated. The king himself started to sweat frantically soon as he saw this happen and tried to think of something quick to save his precious hide.
These guys really are sociopaths! It's like they really want me to die before I even leave this crazy place. Dedede, what have you got yourself into this time!?
The king took out a Gordo and tossed it at one of them to see what would happen, though it was strong enough to reject it with its horns. The rebounded Gordo would eventually bounce back at the panicking king and prick him on the softest part of his behind.
"Oooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuucccccchhh!" he shouts as he run off at an even faster speed in pain.
His speed was much faster than before mostly due to the fact that he royal behind was poked by his own Gordo to much of his luck. But this wasn't enough since the female Zeti Bots started to run on all fours to pursue their blue target at full speed. At this point, the teary eyed king had noticed it was time to turn and swerves around the corner with his hands on his behind at the same speed. Though the Zeti Bots were smart enough to turn around the corner as well and keep hunting down the dopey traitor as told by their creators. The horns on these robots started to spin rapidly like drills and were launched out of the twin robots' heads to set course for the king's massive body.
"Oh give me a freaking break! These guys can fire their own horns?" he complained with pale eyes of fear.
The king had dodged both horns and uses this opportunity to contact his Dedewheelie for transportation. The Dedewheelie was something he had specifically used for participating on the many Air Ride races that Dreamland had in the past and to beat Kirby at his own game. The king frantically pressed the green button to call it so that it can arrive in time to save his hide from being drilled by these crazy robots.
"Come on come on come on! Get off your lazy single wheel and save your designer from danger!" he shouts as the he kept running.
The feminine Zeti Bots had grown their horns and spun them to prepare for another onslaught at the Dreamland's cowardly king.
If that hunk of junk doesn't hurry up and save me where I am, then I'm toast like a Hothead. I really hope the guys weren't able to lock the vehicle room since it would have trouble breaking down steel doors.
In a flash, the two robots were eventually burst into flames due to a mysterious force and the king looked behind himself to see what happened.
"Huh? What happened to those psychotic machines? I could have swore that they just exploded behind me," said the astounded king.
"That's because I saved you from these robots. If there's anything to know about the Deadly Six's technology, they do have weaknesses to extreme heat like my hellish flames for example," said a mysterious voice.
Dedede had faced forward just to see the green haired demon lord hovering before him with his deadpan face being suspended upside down. The king had screamed at the top of his lungs due to Satan's unexpected appearance, but kept running since he didn't want any other Zeti Bots to chase him while he's this far. Despite the king's loud scream, the demon lord wasn't fazed a bit as his winged body flies at the same speed as the runaway king.
"Wha..wha… wha… what the hell are you doing here? I could have sworn that you were on their side at first," Dedede questioned his new ally.
"You silly king, I'm not even on their allegiance any more since there's better things for me to do. Besides, they can easily tame and use the Shadow Beasts for their own purposes without my help," he said with a dull tone.
"Then why did you save me back there? You could have easily left on your own and let me handle things myself," he replied.
"Simple, it's because you were utterly powerless against advanced technology like them. You were lucky enough to escape high class villains in that room, but I doubt you would have deciphered the weakness of those robots due to how new you were," Satan said arrogantly.
Dedede's face had grown red as Fire Kirby as he was offended by his new partner's last insult.
"What are you talking about, you silly pretty boy? I had this whole thing planned and my Dedewheelie could have showed up in time to save me. I have taken plenty of tough foes before from Queen Sectonia to Dark Meta Knight and I doubt those tin cans would have harmed me," said the defensive king.
Suddenly, Dedede noticed that the green haired lord started to snicker under his breath with his head down with his shoulders twitching in excitement. The blue penguin couldn't help but to wonder what the hell was he snickering for since he didn't recall saying anything funny before his face. Satan couldn't help but to laugh out loud while still flying upside down at the king's last statement as the two keep moving at a fast pace. He simulated the same experience or rolling on the floor laughed as the winged being hovered above the running king's head, leaving him in a state of silence.
"You honestly think you are strong enough to survive against those guys without my help? That's just as laughable as Carbuncle eating Red Puyos without the proper amount of barbeque given my affection for that funny critter. I recall that you were clearly crying for help and panicking when those Zeti Bots were close to killing you!" he said with tears in his eyes.
Dedede grinds his teeth in anger and muttered under his breath about wanting to knock him down, until the sound of engines revving could be heard from a distance.
"What's that noise? It better be my beloved Dedewheelie heading our way to give this king the ride he deserves," he said in surprise.
Satan had ended his laughing session and wondered what his new friend was talking about.
"Dedewheelie? You mean the vehicle that clearly showed up a bit too late and possibly could have gotten you killed before I was here?" he said.
"Shut up! I could have taken care of those stinking robots by myself and would have been fine without a talkative hotshot like you! Now make yourself useful and see if it's heading our way!" the king barked.
The green haired demon obediently flipped his entire body and looked ahead of himself to see a cloud of gray smoke ahead of them with the aforementioned engine roars. A red violet vehicle appeared in the distance with the meanest look on its face as it heads there way. This vehicle had a bumper reminiscent of a beak with a red and yellow triangle pattern on them and drove on a single wheel like most Wheelies. This was the king's prized vehicle that he rode to compete in Air Ride competitions, the crimson Dedewheelie.
"That's it, that's my baby! That's the Dedewheelie that I had been calling in forever! I knew that those crazy villains had locked the garage and tried to keep my baby away from me," he said with tears in his eyes.
"You mean the same vehicle that they clearly didn't want you to escape with? Not to mention that you could have been dead if they had never trapped it in the garage after your betrayal," Satan said in a nonchalant manner.
"Did I tell you to say a word, bat winged freak? You better be lucky that I didn't cut your wings off earlier like I would to Meta Knight!" the king beamed.
"Cut my precious wings off? I bet that I could have easily converted them back into a cape before you could try, even if it meant falling on top of that thick skull of yours," Satan remarked.
Dedede would have made a quick comeback at him, but he realized that he should focus on hopping onto his vehicle since it was getting close to him.
"Alright, let's get out of this place as fast as Kirby would escape from that Halberd!" he shouts while pressing a green button on his cell phone.
The Dedewheelie had obediently braked and quickly turns around for the right full king to pilot the one wheeled vehicle for escaping. While Dedede checks his engine to see if it was full, Satan kept flying ahead of him at full speed and left his tubby buddy behind.
"Dedede, hurry up if you want to leave this place with the proper body guard!" he says out loud in his usual sarcastic tone.
The king angrily starts the Dedewheelie's engines and drove off at full speed to catch up with his winged ally.
"Wait up, I didn't tell you to leave me behind like that!" he shouts.
The two were now heading to the northwest part of the warship to find the ship's exit, though the villains where watching the two escapees the entire time. Eggman clasps his white gloved hands on his desk in anger as heard the news from Mishaela and the others, with the other leaders feeling as angry as him.
"Make sure those two do not escape your ship at all costs! I want them to be severely punished in the most inhuman ways possible and you can do that since you had already done so for Sonic!" he ordered in a sinister tone.
Mishaela, Zik, and Neff ran out of the room to pursue their devious ex-Subspace Members while Zazz and Zomom uses their electromagnetic wavelengths to inform more Zeti Bots to hunt their prey down. Max, Purge, and Father Balder had teleported out of the room in a flash to order their lackeys to look for their enemies. Raidou was already charging his aura in anger due to the injuries he had received from Dedede's blast and swore revenge to crush him before the leaves.
"I will make you pay dearly for making a mockery out of a DOATEC champion like me. Your body will be crushed until it can not move anymore and your lungs will be enclosed so that you won't utter another word. But most of all, you will be the first victim in awhile to die at my hands!" he says in rage.
The demonic fighter then launched himself out of the room to pursue the king of Dreamland, leaving the wounded Sonic behind. The hedgehog then disappeared in a flash of blue light, assuming that Eggman had already given Nack the permission to take him to another ship as planned. The spherical doctor was not in a mood for negotiations as the other leaders in the room could tell that he was pissed. Bowser understands why he's angry since he had worked hard to build the biggest villain organization only for some treacheries to occur behind his hardboiled back.
"I can already tell that you want to make those two pay since the Legion wouldn't appreciate something as stupid as this. If I were there, I could have barbequed them with my flaming breath and laugh at their incompetence," the Koopa King growled.
"Thanks Bowser, these are one of the many things that I would never appreciate. Someone to join your side only for them to turn their backs on you and their allies in the end. This had happened plenty of times with Metal Sonic, but this is much different since they can't be simply reprogrammed or regret their rebellious actions," he said with much strain in his voice.
"If there's anything to make you feel better, they would have little to no help to stop our plans since the heroes wouldn't want to trust them due to their former association with us. If anything, you should be glad that the heroes would defeat them for us if they were foolish enough to get in their way since they already hate our organization's actions that much," Dr. Z said.
Eggman had slowly raises his body after hearing his fellow companion's words, thinking deeply about the odds of them being destroyed at the hero's hands instead of worrying about them escaping Mishaela's warship. The sinister scientist would then start to do a laugh that's so dark that Dr. Bad Boon would start to feel uncomfortable. Bowser had clasped his clawed hands together while Dr. Wily does his infamous brow shrug that he would do when taunting his enemies. Dr. Nefarious slowly smiles to celebrate that his ally's spirits are back together and he isn't as enraged about the situation anymore.
"You do have a point Z, we shouldn't really worry about them escaping with their lives at all since there's no one else for them to go to or trust in order to save their defeated kingdom's from our control. We had taken over many worlds and kidnapped many civilians, which cannot be undone by them alone. The heroes had already know about everything this very organization had done and they wouldn't let those two get away easily for something they had already helped us do. So we should focus only on important things like having Sonic experience more pain from the others before he is to be held hostage on this very ship," Eggman said with a wide grin.
Everyone had laughed together in the mothership's Control Room as the massive ship traverses the skies for their future role as Sonic's floating prison. Meanwhile, Dedede and Satan were getting closer to the ship's exit and the former was already informed that their ticket out is waiting below the ship. The Dedewheelie was driving at a speed even faster compared to Dedede's running speed, which gave him the opportunity to rest his feet until he escape this floating prison.
"Satan, can you tell that the exit is getting close?" he asked.
"Yes my pudgy friend, we are exactly forty five feet away from our gateway to victory …. I mean paradise. I can't already wait to leave this smelly ship I see how my love is doing …. I mean follow wherever you go," Satan said while having nervous breaks.
The red wearing king knew that something wasn't right soon as he hear the phrase "My love" coming out of the green haired demon's mouth and felt that he needed answers from him.
"Your love? What are you talking about? Unless there's someone special that you need to see outside of this…. Oh…!" Dedede said before getting alarmed.
"Dedede is there something wrong heading our way?" Satan asked before looking ahead of them.
The door to the exit was blocked off by the angry Zeti Zomom and Zazz, who were waiting for them the entire time. There appears to be a squadron of Zeti Bots standing behind them two since they had been hungering for some bloodshed since Day One of being on this ship.
"It's just those two, I bet we can easily take them on by ourselves," he gloats while stroking his chin.
Though the Puyo Champion had spoken too soon since Michaela, Neff, Balder, Max, and Purge had warped in front of the Zeti duo. He appropriately sweatdropped soon as he seen this while Dedede is still in shock about the exit being blocked by their former allies.
"Well …. At least we aren't being chased from behind to make the situation even worse," he said in a speechless manner.
A loud rolling noise had alarmed the two and they looked behind themselves to see what it was.
"You … really… had to say it," said the nervous king with white eyes of fear.
Master Zik was dead on their tail while rolling on a massive watermelon surrounded with at least twelve rotating spiked balls, all while giving a sinister grin towards the escapees.
"Where are you running, young ones? You need to accept the proper discipline like a real member of the Legion of Subspace. Or shall I say, an ex-member of the Legion," he said before laughing.
Both Dedede and Satan yelled like scared girls as the two were being chased by the crazy old Zeti and heading towards their barricading enemies.
"Now what are we going to do to get out of this mess?" Dedede said frantically.
Satan remembered his ultimate skill and thought of a very devious plan to execute regarding his henchmen on the ship.
"I have a plan and in order for it to work, you need to stop driving and have you and your vehicle buy some time for me. After all, it's going to take me at least a few minutes in order for me to summon the amount of Puyos to blockade both sides in order for me to create the portal necessary to leave this place. Do you understand where I'm going with this?" Satan explained.
Dedede looked at his ally with a serious face and nods since he's willing to do anything to leave this warship alive.
"Gotcha, I'll make sure the old Dedewheelie stops so that I can help fend these guys off while you're making that there portal," the king remarked.
The king of Dreamland turned his vehicle sideways while activating the brakes to slow done its speed and stop directly in front of his enemies. Satan had descended to the ground next to him and spreads his arms to begin with next place.
"Remember your part of the plan, my pudgy friend," he said while a magic aura spreads from his very hands and body.
"Alright Satan, I'll help you in the best way I can. Dedewheelie, deal with that pesky melon freak that's behind us," he said before hopping of his vehicle.
He pressed a special "AUTO" button that essentially gave the Dedewheelie a mind of its own so that it can obey the king's order to help fend off Master Zik. The red violet specialized Wheelie then drives off in the opposite direction since the elderly Zeti's melon of doom was heading their way.
"What's this, a puny vehicle? There's no way you delinquents think that something so small can…."
The watermelon was struck at full force and Zik nearly lost his balance atop the behemoth fruit. Turns out the Dedewheelie is already giving its all to successfully destroy the fruit from the bottom using full on rams and powerful Quick Spins. Each heavy hit had dealt a massive crack that traveled to the top of the melon within each hit, making the spiked balls useless since they can attack foes that are in the air like Satan.
"How dare you disrespect the founder of the Deadly Six? Do you realize that elders like myself deserve the highest respect!?" Zik complained as he tries to maintain his balance from each hit.
Meanwhile, Dedede is charging his hammer in an attempt to attack his enemies with a shockwave. Max steps forward and generated various afterimages in an attempt to confuse Dedede and stop him from escaping.
"Now which one of us are you going to hit? There are too many of us for you to handle, fat king. It will be impossible for you to take out all of us at once with whatever trick you have up your sleeve," the group of demon doppelgangers gloats.
Dedede charged the hammer even further to generate red energy on the weapon's entire head and his arms tighten as if he's getting ready for a mighty swing.
"You are not going to get the best of me, tubby!" he shouts before slamming his hammer onto the ground with sheer force.
A massive shockwave was formed and it had split into various pieces to much of the fat demon's shock. This even shocked the rest of the villains behind him two since they didn't expect that to happen.
He had dropped his jaw as the other doppelganger had done so and they all yelled, "How the hell is this posssiblllllllleeeeeeee!"
All seven of them where defeated by the powerful shockwave, creating a cloud of dust before Mishaela and her group after the attack. Powerful gusts had blown against everyone as they stand their ground and Balder uses the Right Eye to see what became of their ally after the attack. Soon as he saw what happened, he had groaned in disappointment to much of Mishaela's curiosity.
"Is that gluttonous fool alright? It would be utterly disappointing if he had lost to a weakling like Dedede," the sorceress asked.
"Even worse, all of his copies were destroyed and Max D. Cap is knocked out cold from the blast. The poor fool arguably deserved it since he thought that his trick would work against a crafty individual like that king," the Lumen Sage replied.
Out of the blue, a strong vacuum force started to rapidly suck up all of the smoke and strong forces were beginning to pull the entire group.
"Damn it, he's trying to devour us like the last time! We have to stand our ground until he tires himself out," Neff ordered.
The demonic wizard had transformed in a poof of smoke to become his immobile Mouldy Snail form to stay glued to the ground. Mishaela used her magic to hold herself back while Father Balder had done something similar to keep himself in place. Luckily Purge had his trusty magnetic boots with him for situations like these and he activated them to keep his feet "nailed" to the ground. The smoke was fully cleared to reveal Dedede using his Super Inhale in an attempt to draw his foes closer to him and the defeated Max D. Cap. The watermelon was fully destroyed by the Dedewheeelie and it is in the process of chasing an airborne Master Zik. Satan appears to be close to gathering the right amount of magic for summoning his trusty Puyo squadron for this fight.
"They got us in a rather tough situation and it appears that he isn't tiring out at all. Can this get any more annoying?" Purge said.
Unfortunately, both Zazz and Zomom couldn't hold their position and got pulled by the force of Dedede's inhaling along with the group of Zeti Bots that were behind them. Due to how heavy and powerful the yellow Zeti was, bumped into the Mouldy Snail's hard body and slightly tore its powerful roots.
"What are you fools doing? Get off of me!" the creature snarled as its draconic head popped out.
"What do you mean what are we doing? We are trying to save ourselves from being eaten!" Zazz said while desperately hanging on the edge of the creature's shell.
"As much as I love to eat, I would rather not get eaten at all," said the fat Zeti as he gripped onto the Mouldy Snail's shell.
Due to Zomom's sheer grabbing strength and his heavy body weight, more of the shelled creature's roots were continuously breaking and Neff's most defensive form couldn't hold on any longer. The group of advanced Lost Hex creations had also collided into the Mouldy Snail's shell to cause even more uprooting to it.
"My moldy roots can't hold on much longer. This is your last warning to get off or else I'll burn you two to cinders!" the creature snarled.
Despite the creature's threat to the frightened Zeti duo, it was too late since the shell had successfully broken off the steel ground of the ship's hall.
"Now you've done it, fatass. And those stupid Zeti Bots too," Zazz said before gulping.
All three of them were screaming as the strong air vacuum had pulled them towards their other three allies.
"Mommy…." Purge said after taking his goggles off.
The Rhythm Rogue's leader was the first victim to be knocked out by the snail-esque creature's massive body and he cling onto its bottom for safety. Father Balder looked behind him with a shocked look and was the next victim to be rammed by the speeding shell due to his slow reaction. Mishaela turned to see the speeding shell seeing course for her soon as she head the screams of her flying allies. Her eyes had widened in horror and she had let out a terrified scream before being knocked out by the creature's shell. Now the Mouldy Snail had all of his weakened and surprised allies clinging onto its body and he couldn't transform into another form due to their pressure and weight.
Dedede had a shine in his right eye since this was all part of his master plan and successfully devoured the cluster of villains with the help of his powerful oral suction. Satan was now at the point where he could summon most of minions in this very room and used most of his power to commit this act as quickly as possible. He was emitting a purple aura and groans in pain as he summons a massive portal above himself. The green haired demon now kneeled down from exhaustion and was now in a state similar to someone that's out of breath. Various blob like creatures of many colors from red to blue started pouring down from that said portal to happily greet their master. Just seeing the happy faces on these creatures and hearing their squeaky voices were enough to let the demon king feel proud of what he had done.
"Hello guys, Daddy's going to have a special job for some of you to do while others will have to join the Resistance with our new ally King Dedede. You guys are just so cute when you are happy and jumping," Satan said in joy.
"Yo Satan, what do I do with these guys now," said the now swollen king as he waddled his way towards the Puyos.
The green haired man turned to see the Dedewheelie dodging the many blasts that Master Zik had for it and saw something purple flying in the distance. It turned out to be the same guy that Dedede had knocked out first before he left the Briefing Room and boy was this dreadful fighter ready to beat him into a bloody pulp. This gave the devious Puyo Champion a great idea while the king is struggling to hold his foes in his bloated stomach any longer.
"Why don't you spit out your enemies and make sure that they spread the goodbye kiss that we'll give them. They do need something sweet to remember of us when we leave them for good," he said with a smirk.
"You got it, one way to end this mess is a sweet parting gift from me to them," Dedede said while waddling past his new crew.
The swollen king had lifted his head into the air and ejected a massive yellow star from his mouth at full speed, prompting the Dedewheelie to duck for cover.
Before Zik could wonder what went wrong, he focused his eyes on the massive light projectile that headed his way. The celestial make-up of the villains had successfully crashed into the Deadly Six's founder and kept course towards the pursuing Raidou to much of his rage.
"You think you are going to stop me that easily with such a weak attack? I will make your blood become a permanent part of my hands!" he shouts holding his fist back.
The exiled member of the Mugen Tenshin Clan executes his infamous Devil Slash Kick in an attempt to stop the star dead in his paths, even if it meant harming his own allies. The kick itself was thankfully enough the break the star into the pieces, though each piece formed a certain member of the Legion and fell atop the enraged fighter.
This left Zomom, Zazz, Zik, Mishaela, Father Balder, Max D. Cap, Purge, Neff in his Mouldy Snail form, and Raidou in a jumbled up pile. Both Dedede and Satan were laughing really hard at how their plan had worked and how unprofessional every single one of them looked. The multicolored blobs cheered for their master's plan along with them as they jumped up and down in such joy.
"Did you see that Satan? I had shown them losers what it means to mess with the king. Now all that's left is for you to get us out of here since Bandanna Dee and the others are waiting below the ship," he said with a grin.
Satan had remembered what he's supposed to do and created a massive dark portal for everyone to escape. Dedede could already taste sweet victory since he's finally going to see his beloved Waddle Dees again like old times.
"That's right, pudgy king. Now make sure that everyone gets inside since I can tell that a certain someone will jump from that pile and follow us inside," he said after noticing the vengeful fighter escaping the dog pile.
Without further delay, both troublemakers and their army of Puyos had escaped into the portal before Raidou could catch them.
The pursuing warrior could notice that the portal is within his reach and that he could have his revenge against the king of Dreamland. It wasn't until the remaining Puyos had formed a special wall for certain Puyos to combust in a series of colorful rows. In other words, executing a strategic five row chain for an indestructible wall of Gray Puyos to form.
"What? Noooooo!" Raidou shouts before crashing into the wall of gray blobs.
Since Puyos were bred for the sake of being cultivated in games like Puyo Pop and "die" when matched in a row of four or more, it was a sacrifice that they were willing to make for the sake of their master's successful escape. The first DOATEC champion had failed to pursue his enemies and the dark portal had fully closed after that last resort.
"This is impossible. Those fools managed to escape my wrath thanks to these inferior yet indestructible creatures," he said to himself.
He yells at the top of his lungs and punched the living gray wall with his strength with all his strength, which didn't destroy them the slightest. Everyone in the living dog pile is miserable about their failure and feared for how disappointed the doctor would feel about this.
"It appears that we had underestimated those fools and allowed them to escape this place unharmed. One would fear the time of harsh words that our leader would give us," Master Zik said while pulling himself from under Zomom.
"Whatever punishment he has for us, I'll be willing to accept it. We have to learn from our mistakes and make sure that this doesn't happen again," Mishaela said in a weak tone.
"While the sadistic one is unleashing his anger on that unbreakable mass, we can expect the worse to happen for these two since the heroes would eventually find them and know that they had done things as horrible as us. So it's nothing to worry about since I doubt anyone other than themselves will be friends since they're on their own," Father Balder said before smirking.
The massive Dedede Fleet is now flying away from the Legion's black warship at full speed now that the two managed to quickly escape, proving how willing that his army was willing to serve them before their betrayal. There were mostly white massive airships with powerful motors and a white blimp for support, with Kabula in the lead due to her being the strongest of the bunch. Right behind the feminine armed airship was none other than Dedede's blimp with a much larger basket for at least four people to fit unlike his old one. Both the king and his new friend were having themselves a good laugh about their escape to much of Bandanna Dee's dismay. They turned to see that the ship isn't even bothering to attack them at all since they were probably being chewed out by Eggman for their failure.
"Would you look at that, those idiots aren't even doing a thing about it. But I can already tell that old Eggface is having a word with them," Dedede said before snickering.
Satan laughed along with him while messing his green hair and fixing his beloved cape.
"You got that right my friend; those guys are going to get a royal whooping even harder than that from a Puyo Pop expert like me. I can tell that you and I will get along just fine now that we are on our own," he said with a smile.
"Now that you've mentioned it, propose a toast to our new alliance. Bandana Dee, be a gentle Waddle Dee and whip us some pina coladas," Dedede said in a casual manner.
The blue bandana wearing creature obediently did a soldier salute and ran off to the miniature drink bar in the blimp to make the drinks for his boss. The red wearing king walked beside Satan and nudged his should like a big brother would to his own younger sibling with a grin. The green haired demon folded his arms in approval and gave his shorter ally a smug grin.
"So now that we are out of here, what's your first order of business? I was going to find Kirby, but I can tell that puffball will find his way here soon," Dedede said with a smile.
"Well if you say so, Dedede. I would like to track down where Ulala is and say a few words to her, especially in regards to what they are planning to do to Sonic and where he would be held. Though the hard part is the possibility of them not trusting us since the whole world knows that we were associated with them at first," he said with a sweat drop.
"Yeah, I can tell that it will be as tough as trying to break a Gordo. But I'm sure that things will work out and we will set things right. Ironically, Bandanna Dee had passed some blue ship could the Delphinus and their leader tried to speak with him. Though he's not that great with words and shown that they came in peace. I believe that this was before that Ulala girl had revealed our identities," Dedede says while impatiently waiting for his drink.
Satan then froze after hearing his ally's words giving the loyal Waddle Dee the perfect opportunity to pass out the refreshing tropical drinks. Dedede took his and wasted no time to start sipping into the typhoon of citrus juice and cold ice cubes, while Satan didn't try his' yet since he wanted answers from him.
"The Delphinus? You mean the same one piloted by that Vyse guy who Ulala works for?" he asked with the same frozen look.
"That's right, especially if you had remembered the news that was spread from Ramirez's personal chat with him. I guess those two were some pretty heated rivals based on how unhinged he was at that time," Dedede said after sipping his drink.
"That's not the point Dedede, there's a possibility that Ulala could be resting in that very ship. We just have to locate where they are and make amends with the captain in order for me to see her pretty face again … errr have a word with her," Satan said before nervously blushing.
Dedede made a smug grin soon as he saw his partner blushing and had to act like the curious king he was.
"You got you're self a crush on a girl, eh? No matter why you wanted to see her that badly, unless you want to have your first kiss with her," he said in a taunting manner.
The green haired demon rapidly shakes his head in embarrassment and glared at the nosy king's smug face.
"Yeah, I love her and I really do want to see her again. But demanding a kiss from her would have been too rude, even when compared to fighting a girl," he remarked.
"I was just kidding with you, my forest haired buddy, lighten up. Though, she should return the favor for letting her escape and for you quitting that group for the sake of her. If anything, you are lucky to find a woman like that unlike this lonely old king being surrounded by mute minions," he said after tossing the cup away.
Satan had listened to his friends words while sipping on the pina colada, noting how it taste like the tropical drinks that he would enjoy back in Puyo Land.
"Say Dedede!" he whispered.
The king of Dreamland looked at the Dark Prince's face as he looks back to him with his ruby red eyes. He has his usual wide grin and he did a friendly sigh to show that enjoys the atmosphere of this balloon flight and the drinks were refreshing.
"Thanks for helping me escape that place since I know what's really important than taking over the world with a bunch of amateurs. Ever since I had fallen for Ulala, I couldn't stop thinking about her and started to care about her well being. It's for the greater good since I would rather not be this evil and it goes against what I stood for from the beginning," he said before winking at his new friend.
Dedede understood the man's words and smiled back at him like he would when competing with Kirby. He really wanted to have his toast with him, but he forgot that he had thrown his glass away.
"You're welcome Satan, it's a pleasure breaking out with you and for me to take you to that woman. I'm actually having these types of strange feelings for you that I had never felt since helping out Kirby all the time. But sure, I'm glad that we are working together on the brink of the word's takeover," he said before laughing to himself.
The two ex-Subspace members had floats off into the sunset with the rest of the Dedede Fleet in hopes of finding Vyse and the other heroes soon. This is going to be the start of a close and funny relationship between the two of them as after they had left the Legion together.
A lot had happened in the frantic chapter from Dedede pwning some villains with his excellent strategies to Satan giving his pudgy freidn some sass back during their great escape. This is going to be the start of a great partnership between the two anti-heroic rulers as they look for Vyse his group with the help of the Dedede Fleet. The villains had felt guilty for their failure and fear for the worse, but Eggman had gotten over the treachery easily with the help of Dr. Z and Bowser's words of guidance. The leaders also hope that their ex-members plans to communicate with the heroes will be a failure since they will already know that they are the enemy thanks to Ulala's news report. As much as this sound depressing, but we are going to explore even more Sonic torture for this next chapter and at least have him finally sent to his prison. But to give you some good news, you at least have something new to read for next week. This is Big Red, over and out!
