Chapter/Tale 2: The Zero Seven Force: Act 2

Author's Note Intro:

Hiiii! So anyway, this is now Chapter 10, so it's time for some fighting action, finally! I have less than probably two weeks or three till school is over, so I guess this will be the last chapter I'll write before the summer starts, and apparently I'm going somewhere for almost the whole summer. That is if I finish this chapter quickly and get on with the next one. But if I don't post any chapters after this one, then this might be the last chapter (not the actual end, but the last one I'll post). I'll continue writing once school starts or if I at least get a new laptop during the summer, but make sure I finish my schoolwork first when school comes around. I'll still check for reviews (not guaranteed to be all the time, but once in a while), but even on my phone, typing the story is a pain, so I'll hold off that thought but I'll still check for your reviews and PMs; so you won't expect any post till the start of school maybe.

But just in case this might be the last chapter, from only 10 chapters, I wanna know what you've all thought about this story and if you want it to continue and also why you liked it. I'll do my best for you guys, and I wanna say thanks to Emiliano733 and MikeySP for their daily reviews on this story, so thank you guys so much! Let me know what you all thought about this story in your reviews, and enjoy chapter 10! (There also will be a 4th wall break with Kirby and me at the end.)

Chapter 9 recap…

Last time, Kirby and the gang arrives at Deserlava Star, where they discover that the town was in construction after an assault by invaders rumored to be with the Dark Matter Force. They soon meet Emily along with Dylan and Dash, her older brothers at a bar. Also, Kirby finds a letter from Mackenzie about the trinkets called Daemon Crystals and receives a shard of something as well. Kirby and Kazela heads to the palace in order for Callie to make the gate open. Now, the boys heads to Sandy Dues in search of the Soul Jewel and Ruby, the Gem Star….

Kirby's POV

Without a moment that has passed without any hesitation, I could feel the fabric of warping slam on my skin while we soar through the portal. After a while, the light shone even brighter, taking us to the world outside. Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived, I fell face-first in something soft and burning. It wasn't long before the pounds on Dedede's fat-self crushed my back with no mercy ahead of it.

"Owww," I moaned. "Why do you keep landing on me, Dedede? You may look skinny, but you're still fat in a way!"

Dedede smirks. "Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! That's right, pinky! I still got my physique in this anime body! Now let's get moving, pinky! Don't be a grandpa!"

I sweatdropped in a little disappointed face, blushing. "Only Susie calls me that." I can still remember the time when Susie called me that back then. I wonder where she went off to.

Meta Knight and Bandana Dee helped me up because Dedede's fat weight was enough to almost bury me in the ground. Literally. You could see the figure of my body formed in the sand already and you could tell it was mine. Then, at everyone's unexpected climax, we heard an explosion coming from Star Pyramid, which I could only see the top of the pyramid being blown to bits.

"W-what happened?!" Bandana Dee exclaimed. Dash points to the top of the volcano which I can faintly see in the distance. The sound was filled with the roars of something like a loch ness monster dragon.

"What is that roar?!" He adds.

"It's Volakairix," Dash answers. "That's the monstrous screech it makes now. It didn't sound like that before. It sounded… gentler and soothing. There's no doubt about it- either Dark Matter did something to her or there really is something wrong with her. We have to check it out."

"Wait, Volakairix is a girl?" I asked.

"Seems like it," Dylan shrugged. "Although Volakairix's kind were all labeled mainly as males."

"You know, if you listen closely, it does sound like both a boy and a girl in some way," Dash suggested.

Not a word came out from Dylan after a few moments. "…Yeah, forget I said anything. Let's get a move on then. We're wasting time here."

We were actually under a kind of ruin that is still intact and still have a roof over our heads. We just saw it near the side of the whole place. We all walked outside the place that houses the Chaos Gate, and into the sea of sands. Outside, I saw half a world of nothing but sand and a couple of pillars ruined and dismantled, but using my goggles, I somehow see a jungle there that looks like an oasis, with the water acting as the moat. The jungle was compared to the same size as the desert. So cliché.

Then, after that came a giant pyramid that had a golden star on top, looking like a pyramid of wonders, and the weird thing is, there's a cliff literally next to it, sticking to some hole there. Then, the spiral path continues upwards to the next jewel chamber like on Aura Star. Finally, the chamber exit path slides downward with a zip-line that'll take us directly to the bottom, right into Crater Cart-Mines, which actually the entrance looks like it's hidden behind a rock. And eventually, it take use to Crater Base, the peak of the Mount Deserlava, in which Dylan told me that's the name of the volcano.

"Wow, that's a lot we have to go through," I whistled. "Well, let's-a-go, Pisanoes!" I said in an Italian voice like Mario.

Level One: Sandy Dunes (Scorching Dunes- Shantae and the Pirate's Curse)

Info: Now that you have party members, multiplayer is now active! Just like in Return to Dreamland, you can play as any of the other characters. Just remember that since they're humans, some of their abilities are limited for now, so they'll play a little different. In Single-Player, using the directional buttons will switch to the character you want, but in Multi-Player, you can assign party characters to the main characters, so that when one of you loses a life, the assigned party member will be the one who'll play as a replacement instead. You can still switch back by pressing down on the analog stick, but remember that the game's not over unless ALL party members are knocked out. Single Player allows you to play as each character one by one or have CPU's to assist you. Be sure to remember that.

(Battle Theme 2: Fight!- Grandia 2)

We encounter a wave of sandy plains and a giant field of ruins and pillars. Walking forward, we encountered more Waddle Dees wearing cowboy hats, along with a whip and a pistol. Dylan just summoned his scythe or his axe and just slashed them in one blow. He wasn't even trying.

Then, as we were walking, we saw something floating there. Hmm, must be a CEDT, and with its appearance of having the Whip ability and a pistol, it looked new enough. Dash went over and grabs it.

"Hmm, what's this thing?" He asked. "Looks like you could be a sheriff with this or something like that." There was an area of ruined pillars that we were heading to, but the entrance was blocked by a giant stone wall that appeared out of nowhere. As if that wasn't bad enough, everything around us was blocked by a literal firewall, a wall made of fire and has 4 pillars sustaining it. That's when I heard both a woman and a man's voice.

"Well, well, well," One of them spoke. It sounded like that voice from those two Dark Matter Patrollers on Aura Star earlier; I mean the voice sounds different, but it has that same tone as the others, not to mention the aura as well. "So, that's the boy who defeated Aura Woods under your control, is that right? The boy in pink, right?"

"Who's there?!" I yelled. "Show yourself!"

"That's him, all right," The girl spoke. "He's a real jerk, for beating up that poor old tree… which I possessed, along with that pesky Gem Soul, Galeroy, who wanted nothing more than his girlfriend back, Emerald. Too bad he ruined my fun. You think you can handle him, brother?"

"Not at the moment, no, but if you wanna do it, be my guest," The boy said. I didn't recognize the boy, but the girl was giving me déjà vu. In fact, I don't them at all. That moment, Galeroy popped out of me in spite of hearing this.

"Wait a minute," Galeroy questioned. "How the heck did she knew about Aura Woods, and why did she say we ruined her fun-"

Suddenly, both of our minds formed one idea. Remember our fight with Aura Woods? That's when after we beaten him, we encountered Dark Soul along with a green girl with him. That sounded… familiar.

A flash of both wind and fire appeared in a manner in front of us. The two figures formed people. The fire formed a boy that looked somehow like the human version of Zero, although I don't know what he looks like if he's truly human. He had the same form of Dark Soul, but without any kind of cloak or whatever. His hair was all fiery and spiky literally, his hair waving around like real fire. His eyes are red-like orange, but the display was the same as Zero's. Then there was his clothes. The whole shirt was long sleeved black and red with the sleeves having long black and red gloves that covered his arms. He had a belt with the eye of the Zero, and the plaque circle belt of gold was also added with red for the eye. A red scarf was tangled on his neck. He had also gold tassels on the side of his long black pants and has the colors of fire on his boots.

The wind formed a girl that also has the same features too. She had only a long shirt with pretty much nothing underneath which was black and green and her hair was somehow similar to that girl at Dark Forest, and now that I think about it, I really didn't get a closer look at her; she had long hair that was literally made of wind and she has a bang that covers her right eye at some point in time, seemingly it's like that a certain angles, but both eyes are visible. She has a black collar strapped to her neck and since her shirt is sleeveless, and her nails are as sharp as needles for shots. Her shoes are high heeled green with another black collar. With spikes. Her eyes are green and with the same display as Zero's. With that description, it reminded me of that girl with Dark Soul. The girl was really focusing her vision on me mostly, like there was some kind of grudge.

"Hmph," She grunted, "Looks like we meet again, pinky. Remember me?"

Then, my eyes widen due to the realization of who she is. "Wait a minute: You're that girl we saw with Dark Soul!" I pointed. "That same girl…"

"You know her?" Meta Knight asked.

"Yeah, she's the one who possessed Aura Woods and made him kidnap all those innocent people," Galeroy filled in.

Dylan raised his scythe with no hesitation. "Dash, she's one of the bandits earlier this morning as well as that guy!"

The girl waved her finger at us in a taunt. "Call me Auralia, if you please, the gale diva!" I knew it. That is the same girl from before. The boy also spoke. "The name's Molotov, master of fire! Heh. Now I assume you're Kirby, right?" I nodded. "And this is the rest of your pathetic little gang. Now, we have other stuff to do, if you don't mind. Minions! ATTACK! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" With that, they teleported away in their element range.

"Hey, come back here!" I yelled. Soon, we found ourselves surrounded by Cowboy Waddle Dee and those whip guys.

"Crap!" Dedede grunted, "It's an ambush!"

"I hate those," Dash complains. "Your only way is fighting out of this."

We all got ourselves ready to fight as the enemies were charging at us.

Ambush Brawl! Engage Battle! (Boss Theme 1- Spark the Electric Jester/Battle Theme 2- Grandia 1 HD)

Info: In either True Star Warrior Mode or Invincible, if you think you're strong, you'll expect lots of ambushes here. It's a beat-em-up wave battle mode, so you'll expect this a lot in these modes than the other three. After that wave, there will be a mini-boss fight then, so try not to die. There are three waves in total, and as you progress the enemies became harder to defeat. Oh, and try not to let the enemy ambush you from behind, because that'll bind you in a rough spot especially if you're in no condition to take another battle. The same applies for enemies,; attacking enemies from behind will add damage to the start of the battle to make things easier and you can also get bonuses as well from that. Watch your back!

The Waddle Dees charged at us with their slashing whips, and we all jump when they attacked at once. Dash sped at one of them and did a backflip kick in the air, and springing to its level, Dash meteor smashed the Waddle Dee to the ground, making it burst into stars. Dylan slashed his scythe at three demon Waddle Dees and struck them with a finishing slash, knocking them backwards and exploding.

The rest of us were continually fighting against the Waddle Dees. After a while, the wave seemed to have stopped. But then, a purple aura appeared, shining like a chaos gate, which means a mini-boss is coming. Who could it be this time?

The summoning stopped, revealing itself as… a giant Waddle Dee that looks like a sheriff? It had the usual cowboy hat, it wore a scarf over its "supposed to be mouth" area, a whip on his back, and a pistol on his right side. It did the usual Wild West showdown face, with its hat covering the eyes. Raising its head up, it attacked.

By cracking the whip. It spun its whip by doing one of the Gangnam style moves, and it extended the whip multiple times, making us avoid the attack range of that extendable whip. That's when it did some kind of draw pose at us. Its stubby arms was twitching to unleash its secret weapon- and it did, the PISTOL.

"Holy fudge!" Dash yelled. "He's using a pistol on us!" However, I was definitely impressed.

"It's not a pistol," I started to say, "It's a GUN! So awesome!"

"Kirby! Not the time to be thinking about guns this moment!" Dedede yelled. "When will you have the time to use a gun anyway?!" He said, but his words were cut off when Dash tossed me the trophy and I copied the ability. This new form was the same as Whip, with my usual red cowboy hat and my brown whip, but I had a red scarf on my neck, my clothes look rather like a cowboy with vests and high heeled boots with a star sticking out the hind. I had a badge on my right side of my vest and I had black fingerless gloves. But the one thing that I had was my very own PISTOL, but it's not just a pistol- IT'S A FREAKING GUN! YEAH, BOY! This must be the enhanced version of Whip, maybe.

You gained a new enhanced ability of Whip, Sheriff Hero! Now added to your ability screen and is now accessible!

Dylan's jaw dropped. "OH MY FREAKING GOSH- WHAT THE FUDGE HAPPENED TO YOU?!"

"Did you forget? It's my Copy Ability power, and now I'm a Sheriff Hero! And the best part is, I get to use a blaster finally!"

"But it's a pistol, Kirby," Bandana Dee disagreed.

"It's not just a pistol, it's a gun!" I said in hallelujah. Everyone sweatdropped at this. I turned around to face the Waddle Dee, which I'll call "Sheriff Waddle Dee." Without much thought, I threw my pink gun in the air, actually both of them, catching them after putting on black shades and attacking it with my whip. Using the pistols, I pulled the trigger and the bullet was like the drill that'll pierce through the heavens, and it pierced through the Waddle Dee and exploded into stars.

"That's the end of that good ol' brawl!" I said in a cowboy language with my arms over my head. "Yee-Haw!"

"Please stop," Dedede sweatdropped.

Victory!

You and your party members gained 50 exp points!

The pillars ceased and dissolved, as well as the firewall. The giant stone wall blocking the entrance shattered and crumbled to rest in pieces. We all walked forward, moving on. Then, the wall closed behind us. Guess there was no turning back. Looking around, there was nothing but collapsed debris and pieces of something scattered around.

The place was more like a lost city or… what it looks like it used to be. Walking forward, we look around this place that was nothing more like than an empty wasteland or a lost city. Then, we encountered more enemies such as Waddle Dees riding hogs and Mumbies and mini Kabu's. We took them down in a flash. There was a sign that said, "Beware of Sandrea, The Slithering Massive Snake of the Rattlers."

"Rattlers?" I wondered. "That sounds familiar, alright." The snake thing is one thing, but what really intrigued me the most was the name "Rattler."

"What's wrong, Kirby?" Bandana Dee asked.

"It's this "Sandrea" those folks has been warning about on the signs," I replied, sweating from the desert heat. I noticed a giant entrance that was open without any doors. "Hey, what's that place?"

"Better not go there," Dylan warned, "That's the home of Sandrea, the Slithering Serpent Rattler Woman." Double-taking around me, I saw another exit that led outside of this place because it was going up and down, left to right, it was a complete maze!

"Hey, Dylan," Dash called. "There's another exit that has a golden door. Let's go over there."

"You sure?" Dedede asked. "It seems awfully fishy there just lying out in the middle there. Didn't they say something about a- wait, Dash! Don't go over there!"

He was interrupted when Dash ran over to the Gold Door, which is the goal gate. Unfortunately, it was like it was a set trap when the door disappeared! Dash looks around, trying to figure out what just happened. Then, those two voices of Molotov and Auralia appeared.

"Looks like you fell for it, suckers!" Molotov chuckled. "Have fun drowning in the sand!"

"What the-?!" That was all Dash or we had to say before the ground opened up and swallowed us before we even saw it coming.

"WWAAAAAHHH!" We all screamed.

The next thing we knew, we were landing on sand that was sliding down somewhere like a slide.

"What just happened?!" I yelled.

"It's a trap!" Dash yelled.

We were sliding for what seems to be hours, because we only saw the yellow walls that looks of sand or made of it itself, but the vision of the walls changed when we saw a yellow spring. One by one, it launched us into the air like soulless toys being thrown around as we started to descend to the ground and onto another spring that took us to a cannon around the place that was like a sanctuary and an altar for a monster. Maybe a nest. The cannon shot us into the air above and another spring to shoot us down to a slide that took us all the way down to some kind of thin, circular or fat platform. Landing there shattered us from a ball form, each of us landing in different places of this platform.

"Oh, my head," I moaned. "Is everyone alright?" I see everyone starting to get up dizzily after that joyride of death.

"I'm fine," Meta Knight coughed. He doesn't look like he's dizzy or whatever. Bandana Dee and the others were trying to take Dedede out of the hard floor.

Looking around, just as I said earlier, it was a thin, circular straightway platform that led to a door. The background had five pillars that were green. There was also a balled figure glued behind the pillars, but I couldn't make out of what it is.

Dylan speaks then. "Great. Now we're screwed, being stuck in a place for being turned to stone."

Wait, what? "What do you mean by that, Dylan?" I asked.

"This place is restricted because that's the home to one of the Rattlers, Sandrea. And we're right in her nest! There's also a woman who's the owner of that wicked snake, you know, the wicked snake woman, Dyna Medusa. We shouldn't dawdle around for death; we should try to get outta here right now!"

That's when the world rumbled to us. The ground shook like a massive earthquake as the ball-pointed object in the background starts to open. Turns out it was a mouth that opened way to a familiar snake that I'm sure I've seen before. The body of the snake looks like mixed bolts and these nuts altogether, similar to Coly Rattler, only this time it's red. The head looks like a snake with a mask of gold and kinda looks like Masked Dedede. But on top of the head was a woman that had the face and body of the snake lady, Medusa (Think of her as the Medusa from Kid Icarus: Uprising but different). The snakes slithered and hissed as gold reptiles and we were lucky not to be turned to stone. Dylan and Dash looked like there were afraid, however. The woman had a golden staff with a skull on it. She slowly claps her hands.

"Well, well, well," She says, moving her palest hands that were purple from her black cloak of darkness, "If it isn't my two favorite meddlers, Dylan and Dash, standing right before me, Dyna Medusa. Oh! (Giggles), and you've brought some friends along with you." She commands the snake to lower her to our level, but it was mostly to me. The snakes on her head transforms into her black hair as she takes a closer, personal look at me.

"This boy's a bit shorter than me, but," She says as she observes me. With her hands. Medusa places her hands right on my head and messes it up a bit, followed by a check-up to my ears and my mouth as she opens it wide and takes a look inside. "He's awfully mighty and high. I presume he the boy named Kirby, am I right?"

After I kinda blushed, she moves onto the next guy, which is Dedede, by a scan from head to toe, then Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee. She returns to her pet snake on its head.

"I've gotta say, you manage to get the star warriors to come along with you to stop Volakairix."

Dylan steps up to the plate. "Just how did you know about what we are doing?!"

She winks at us. "You could say that two little birdies gave me a message."

"I bet it was Molotov and Auralia!" Dash exclaimed. "This was a trap set by them!"

"And you all stepped right in. Now, let's have some fun, shall we? Take care of them, Sandrea Rattler!"

Diva Medusa teleported away, leaving the snake in the background to leap into the air and land in front of us. It coiled itself up and the head screamed its name.

"I AM SANDREA RATTLER, SISTER OF COLY RATTLER! RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Coly Rattler?! Sandrea was related to Coly Rattler from the Sky City Floria in the temple of Wild World. Coly Rattler was a statue, wrapped around the middle pillar. Taranza used his powers to bring him back to life in order to slow me down from saving Dedede. I didn't know he had a sister!

"Aw crap! I didn't know Coly had a sister! Well, no matter! Let's take her down, guys!" I yelled.

We all got into battle stances as the sister of the Rattlers charged at us.

Enemy Revival- 4th World Boss Battle

Vs. Sandrea, the Sister of Coly Rattlers (Attack!- Kirby Triple Deluxe)

Boss Description- Remember the snake, Coly Rattler? Turns out he had a sister and her name is Sandrea Rattler. There's also an expansion of Rattlesnakes just like with Whispy Woods and Dyna Blade. But it seems she had an owner named Diva Medusa, but I'm not sure what she is at all, or could she really be one of the myth's famous monsters, Medusa? Or is that just a coincidence? Eh, just take down Sandrea Rattler the same way you took down Coly Rattler.

Sandrea charged at us by sliding around the platform we're on. Some parts of the floor we were on were on fire and melded with sand and thunder. We all jumped to avoid the attack. The snake rewind herself back to her spot.

She pulled her tail up, and started shaking it like crazy, like a rattle. It was like a rattle whip and as she moved closer, she unleashed a fury of tail whips at us, but we maneuvered and dodged them like a boss. This gave us a chance to attack the head while she's exhausted. Pissed, she had a new attack up her sleeve.

Sandrea turned to the background and since the rattlers have joint-less parts, she bit off the end off her tail and head-butt it to the background, one by one while on fire and thunder. The parts slithered around the five pillars and stopped. Then, one by one each part starts striking the floor, making us jump around it.

Her head was part of that mess and when she striked, she became dizzy after a rock fell on her. We went Leroy and all out the chance we had. She flinched heavily and shook it off. She roared again with sandy anger.

Phase Two Activated!

She curls into a ring and she does a similar move to Sonic's Spin dash. His was the same move Coly did earlier and as she rolled and backed up, we then realized that we had nowhere else to go. But that's not what she did. She instead snatched all of us and tossed us to a nearby slide in one swoop.

We all slid down the sand slide as we saw Sandrea reform a circular platform in the center below the area we were fighting in a few minutes ago. Sliding down the filters that curved around the arena, a spring just tossed us right into the action and made us pile on each other.

Sandrea hissed in some sort of laughter at our mishap. Then, she did the same rolling wheel attack and charged for real this time. Everyone spread out while Sandrea was attacking. Then, with my gun, I aim blind-less and somehow aimed for the head by bullets. Each shot can be heard by the rebound sound of the bullets that had pierced through the heavens, or in this case, her head. Man, why am I saying so much Gurren Lagann references? If I had a Drill, I would go crazy.

After she stopped, she placed herself horizontally in a circle and started an attack that scattered her body parts and rose them up into the air. It was like a hailstorm to avoid, only with mixed bolts and these nuts plus the head. Assembling herself, she seemed to be still hyper while we're exhausted. So that time, Dylan slashed her head with a blast slash move called "Scathing Bolt," a black slash wave that can pierce through anything.

Dash on the other hand used Demon Edge, a red bolt blast from his fists and exploded on contact. The others performed each of their special moves with Dedede using his Hammer Flip, Meta Knight with Mach Tornado, and Bandana Dee with his Spearcopter attack. I, myself, used a charged Blaster Bullet with my guns. All of our moves combined together cornered Sandrea just when she was about to unleash a sandstorm attack.

She froze for a minute, then she was engulfed in explosions and roared as she fled to the five pillars to escape, but as she was doing that, the aura of Greystone crawled up her body, slowly turning her to stone while she coiled herself around. She froze in place once the stone parts reached her head, and that's when she came to the point where you could say that she's going to R.I.P IN PIECES, because she exploded to tiny bits. We all cheered and did a victory dance.

"Well, I reckon you could say that ol' girl's going to rest in pieces! Hah, get it?!" I laughed. Okay, I suppose that was lame.

"Lame," Meta called out.

"Super lame," Dedede added.

Sandrea Rattler has been defeated! Victory!

All party members gained 50 Experience Points! All members has leveled up to Level 7!

Health Points increased to 160!

Item Retrieval: Realgar Ring, Metamato Plus!

Next level 8 in 55 exp points!

"Yeah, we won!" Dash cheered. That's when Medusa appeared, looking distraught from us murdering her beloved pet, and boy, was she a pain in the butt!

"You dumb pricks killed my pet! How could you?!" She screamed.

"It's called self-defense, as in you were the one who tried to make us snake food!" Dylan shot back.

"You all shall pay for this sooner or later, but we'll meet again soon. So long for now, punks!" Medusa said as she disappeared in a ball of green wind.

"What was that all about?" Dedede asked. We all just shrugged at that. Then, a warp panel appeared as yellow light. So we trekked over to the panel that shot us into the air and straight at the gold door, completing the level. After we went through the goal game and got in first place.

Level One Complete!

The path for the next level, Wild Jungle appeared. So we all dashed straight near the area to explore.

Level Two: Wild Jungle (Steam Gardens- Super Mario Odyssey)

Strolling to the jungle, we ended up on the top of a cliff after removing sand from our clothes and whatsoever. From the peak, I could see that it was like a world full of life, animals and… dinosaurs?! I could see all types of dinosaurs there-you name it, there were all there. I then noticed a red and yellow chest next to me. I approached the chest, and by grabbing the top part, lifting it open wide. Inside the chest was another Copy Essence Deluxe Trophy, but this time there were two, containing the abilities Hammer and Spear trophies.

You gained the "Hammer" and "Spear" abilities! New abilities are added to the slot, and are now accessible! 3/12 abilities collected!

Feeling the power inside, I look to the horizon and saw the pyramid ahead. "Hey, guys, there's Star Pyramid! We're getting close!" I said.

"Heh-heh-heh!" Laughed Dedede. "Well, what'd you expect? We're already there!"

Then, Bandana Dee says, "Um, guys? There's this sign that says something about some kind of monster around here, so we've gotta be careful. It said the creature's name is… Fred."

"Ah, I'm pretty sure it's nothing. Besides, how scary can a creature with the name Fred be?" Dylan laughed. "Now let's get going!"

Dylan jumped off the cliff, landing miraculously on his feet, and Dash did the same too. The rest of us shrugged and followed behind. On the way, everyone else kinda stayed away from me because I swallowed dino eggs earlier before.

The area was really deeper than I thought, with the jungle being a complete maze and so on. The only way went was by following the yellow path ahead. We had to encounter new enemies, such as the Dinolite, with my puffball form and has the features of a mini or baby dinosaur of a T-Rex. It has a tail of one that is red with yellow stripes, the arms has 3 talons or claws, its feet are the same, only close together, and the face of it, the eyes are golden yellow, the mouth was like mine but with two teeth sticking out above and it has a black spot which I guess is supposed to be the nose. That's what it is. There was one Dinolite that followed Dash, and he decided to keep her even though we were all against it. He named her "Lilith." She licked him on the cheek as we moved on.

Dylan then looked at me because he noticed something while we were walking. He asks, "Hey, Kirby? I forgot to ask you this, but…" He then pointed to my right cheek and says: "Is that… lipstick on your cheek? ...Did Callie kiss you? I'd recognize that lipstick anywhere."

I hesitate to answer. "Um… yeah, she did. Why's that?" I blushed pink. Dylan kinda looks jealous.

"That's probably because her wish was granted maybe," Dylan replied. "Her wish was to meet you just like Princess Kaila did. She's not only grateful, but she did it from her heart and from the fact that- wait a minute… was she a cat when you first met her?"

"Y-yeah," I replied. Dylan laughs at me then.

"Oh god, that's hilarious! I'm dead! That means you and Callie became 'Just Friends!' On the lips." Dylan ended.

This was enough for the rest of the guys to turn around and look at me with weird faces of constipation or a troll. "I bet you were trying all types of styles, and I know you were getting all funky with her!" I cut him off because I couldn't stand it anymore. He's saying it like we have some kind of relationship, but I'm just a boy who just so happened to get all the ladies by chance because I was cute!

"Never mind, let's keep going," I sighed, moving upfront.

I could hear them snicker as we were walking ahead. Along the way, I saw another two Copy Essence Deluxe Trophies hanging there since I was ahead and the others were slowly trailing behind, laughing. The first one was red with a dino print on it and seemed like the Animal ability for a second. I touched it, and when I did, I felt myself turn into something that looks like a mutant. I realized by looking into a pond nearby that I had yellow eyes, my mouth has two sharp teeth sticking out under, my hands are replaced with dino claws, well, my fingers but it was more like a glove, my hair has become red and long spiky, while my clothes, the shirt with red and yellow stripes slashed and I felt a long, red tail sticking out my butt. Also, my shoes are replaced with the boots of a dinosaur, with 3 claws. I felt like I'm a dinosaur!

You gained a new enhanced ability of Animal from Squeak Squad, Jurassic Dino! This is the newer ability of Animal, as the giants before 65,000,000 years ago had passed. You can shapeshift into any type of dinosaur there is! Now added to the slot and is now accessible! 4/12 abilities collected!

Then, I saw another one next to it, having the purple color or dark blue of Beetle, but with spikes sticking out its back. I touched the other one, and I felt like I became Beetle, but also the ability Needle at the same time. Looking into the pond, the reflection revealed that it was like both at the same time; I had the Beetle hat with the same horn, but there were needles sticking out as well except the horn. My clothes were somehow dark blue or purple and yellow, and I have instead beetle wings on my back, replacing my jacket or more like fusing it, I guess. Also, my hands have gloves that contain needles and beetle horns or whatever it is, and my eyes are a fusion of purple and yellow. Not sure what color this is though. I think from what you could possibly tell, this might be a fusion.

You gained another new ability, "Razor Beetle!" This is the second Fusion ability, made of Needle and Beetle. Because of this ability, you also gained the two compound abilities, "Needle" and "Beetle!" Now added to the slot and are now accessible! You can gain two regular abilities from Fusions automatically. 7/12 abilities collected!

These seem interesting. Now, the rest of the gang managed to catch up with me, still chuckling. I sweatdropped while heading towards what could be the epicenter or the central area probably, full of dinosaurs. We approached another cliff near a spooky looking cave to get a better look. There was a pathway that seems to lead to the center of the jungle, where Star Pyramid is located, I guess.

"Looks like we'll have to follow up here at this point," Dash says. He stands in front of the cave and then suggests, "Maybe we can go on from here, guys. Let's go."

"You might wanna reconsider that," Dedede asked, looking like he's afraid of something. I didn't know why Dedede was being all of a sudden chicken. But I then noticed that Dylan, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee were all staring at something in looks of fear, so when I looked too, I froze. I saw something in there, an ominous shadow of a giant face that blended within darkness, and if you take a closer look, at first you may not see anything, but the details will tell all. Dash seemed confused.

"Come on, guys. What's there to be afraid of?" Dash stopped due to the feel and sound of heavy breathing, and it was no ordinary one person breathing. Dash looks with realization, knowing what we're seeing. "There's someone behind us, isn't there?" His answer was correct because at that moment, we heard the same voice of Auralia.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" She laughed. "Now I've got you twerps! Destroy them, Dynalociraptor or should I say… FRED?!"

Looking behind him, we all saw nothing but a mini Dinolite with the weakest roar ever. It was too cute to even be a threat. We all sweatdropped, but instead we laughed. Auralia seemed pissed.

"Oh my god! Ha-ha-ha!" I laughed. "You brought out this little guy?! Geez, if you're really trying to adore us to death, you're doing a good job, sucker!"

"Um, Kirby?" Dedede said nervously.

"Yeah, we thought you'd bring a Jurassic dinosaur from elsewhere, but is that all you got?!"

"Um, Kirby?" Dedede said again, panicking. "I think you should take a closer look at that dinosaur."

"No, I've got a better idea," Dylan yelled, "Run, suckers! RUUUUNNNNN!"

"Yeah, what's so-" I said, but I automatically stopped the second I turned my head at something that looked like Velociraptor. It was a velociraptor with the skin of grey rocks, scaly, and terrifying. Its eyes are lightning yellow and its mouth extended long with the ravenous teeth showing. You would expect the features of a usual one, but this is where you're wrong! It has the one thing you wouldn't expect dinosaurs to have: Mechanized Armor. The whole body was completely mechanized like it was Planet Robobot all over again! And on top of that, you can see Auralia sitting on its back. The armor was all the colors of green and black too. I heard Dylan's voice, saying, "Run, Kirby, RUUUUNNN!"

Actually, I thought the whole dinosaur was a joke, but now that I've seen it, I wasn't taking any chances, because the first thing you'd do after seeing a killer dinosaur now with robot armor, the only thing you'd do is get the heck out of there! And that's what I did.

"AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed and ran as the Velociraptor roared and tried to eat me. Then, the chase was on!

"GET THOSE SLEAZEBALLS, DYNALOCIRAPTOR! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Auralia laughed.

"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Meanwhile, back at Deserlava Palace… (Callie's POV)

I was sitting back on my chair, assembling all the papers I had to sort out first. I was still wiping away the tears from when I encountered Kazela after all the lost years. I recalled the memories I had with Kaila and Kazela. But I was yet curious about how Kirby even found her in the first place. The one reason I questioned that is because she has been reported missing or possibly dead for a few years, and I was the same age as Kaila was before Kazela disappeared, as well as the other girls who were with us. I wonder how they're doing…

I was scourging through the cabinets trying to find my photo album, full of pictures taken of my childhood back then. Flipping through the pages, I freeze at one picture with the accurate photo of us 3 and the other girls. Now that we have on person back in the picture, however, we lost one, and that person was Kailaine…

I now heard that Kaila was kidnapped by Dark Matter six days ago on Sunday. It was around 10 or 11:00 o' clock, and I was awake at that time, having to do my daily routine, and I was actually in the middle of breakfast, with peanut butter bread and sweet coffee. I was still in my night clothes, a plain white shirt and long pink pants. I walked back in my office, where I usually go to watch my shows that only comes on the mornings, and actually, I woke up earlier than that around… 8:00. They're anime shows, and one of my favorite ones, Madoka Magica, was among them and it was something worth waking up for.

It was still the last few minutes of the episode, so I still got to enjoy the last few minutes of it. Sipping my coffee, I was sitting on my chair with no care but for my show. If father didn't have the flu, he'd yell his butt off about me watching anime at the moment in my office. But, his sickness doesn't seem to go away no matter how much cures we'd give him. It looks like there's something behind his sickness, I guess. Anyway, how I found out started with an incoming video call from one of my group friends named Adeana, from Aquarius Star. From my desk came Saria, my digital operator assistant.

"Callie, you are receiving currently an incoming video call from Adena," She said to me. Luckily, the last few minutes of Madoka Magica has ended and moved onto another one, so making the time to answer, I told Saria to answer the call, and the projector screen showed an image of Adeana, who looked like she was crying or something, with her eyes looking so innocent like. I knew something was up.

"Hey Adena," I greeted. "What's wrong? You seemed worried about something."

She answers in a compliance to sadness, tears rolling down her cheeks. "It's Kaila! You've gotta see the news now! Something terrible happened to her! And even worse, they're back!"

At this after spitting out my coffee drink in reaction, I grabbed the remote and changed the channel to the Galactic News, where the horror unfolded. I saw the scene of our worst enemy, Dark Matter, attacking Castle Dedede and the stretched hand carried Kaila herself, and she seems to be fighting back with her Crystal Bomb attack, but when she uses it too much, she'll faint and that's what happened to her. Around the castle, I saw five people who were running to the roof and made it there. They tried jumping to her but failed, and Kaila was taken inside the ship. I gasped at this, seeing the great chase and what led to this.

"Kaila…" I said. That was all I remember after nearly breaking down in tears. "Damn it!"

Yeah, they say a picture tells a thousand words, can it? My thoughts were interrupted when Saria chimed in with a warning call. The last thoughts actually directed to Kirby. About the kiss I gave him… I don't know why I did that; I'm… embarrassed. Then, Saria had to say her message louder in order for me to snap out of it.

"There's danger in Wild Jungle, Callie."

I closed the book before answering. "What happened there, Saria?"

"We have reports that one of the members of the Zero Seven Force, Auralia-that's her name, has made their appearance and have unfortunately awakened Dynalociraptor. We also found out that Kirby's location is in that place and now they are running away from Dynalociraptor."

I gasped. "WHAT?!" I then said, "Show me the video now!"

"Affirmative, Callie." She makes the screen projects an image of Wild Jungle, and it gets right on the part where all of them are running for dear life.

"Kirby…" I could only say as I watched the chase begin. Then, I noticed someone riding him. I realized she was one of the members of the Zero Seven Force, Auralia, and along with the guys that attacked the town. How did she managed to awaken Dynalociraptor at once? He's not supposed to wake up after one more year or so!

Now Back To The Chase…

The Great Chase- 5th World Boss Battle

Vs. Dynalociraptor, The Biggest Dino Terror Than The T-rex (Pressure's On- Monster Tale)

Boss Description: This mutant Velociraptor is a type of dinosaur with the name Fred. Apparently, his name may sound friendly but in person, he's deadly. He was NOT supposed to be awakened whenever he takes a nap, but maybe he's chasing you because someone did something to make him go after you. It must be Auralia. Anyway, the only thing you can do at this point is run until you find a way!

Fred roars in blazing anger!

"Oh god! What do we do now?!" I shouted.

"Just run!" Bandana Dee yelled. "And we have to watch out for traps and attacks!"

Fred roars again, then speeds up a little and tries a tail whip. We had to jump over that and he goes again. Then, I spotted obstacles in our runway like spikes, pits, and ambushers of dinosaurs. Now we had to avoid all of that unscathed.

Auralia snapped her fingers, and she created wind bolts from her hand and fired away, creating mini tornados that added to the obstacles ahead, which we unexpectedly avoided. We had to run through twists and turns of paths to avoid the shaking wrath of Dynalociraptor. Unfortunately, we reached one point where it was a complete dead end-a cliff. We then saw Dynadactyls flew from the curved raceway canyon, and we're on the edge of that same cliff.

"Damn, it's a dead end!" I yelled. "There's nowhere else to go!"

The next thing I knew, Dynalociraptor and Auralia was already on us. The quake of his footsteps was enough to crumble the floor underneath. We all turned around seeing the giant monstrosity about to get us. Auralia laughed in what seemed to be her victory.

"You're dead meat, punks!" She yelled. The next we did was ending up backing ourselves to the edge.

Suddenly, the ground crumbled beneath us, shattering into a million pieces and resulting in a free fall.

"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" We screamed as we were being pulled to the ground because of gravity.

"WE'RE DOOMED!" Bandana Dee yelled.

Then, without a moment's waste, something snatched all of us just before we were going to die in a free fall. "Eh?" I said before realizing that we landed on a Dynadactyl that swooped us in time.

"WE'RE SAVED!" Bandana Dee gasped, relieved.

"What? How…" I asked.

Then Dash said, "It's Lilith. She evolved into a Dynadactyl just now. There's no way that guy can get us now! Good job, girl!"

While flying in screen forward, you can choose positions for one person to control flying while the others can take down enemies in either Shooter Mode or Brawl Mode, where Shooter Mode allows the rest of the players to shoot down enemies with ammo while Brawl Mode acts similar to SSB and fights them head on. Not on Lilith, though. Work together to escape monsters and other dangers too.

As you can imagine, we were soaring high in the sky away from Auralia and the menace. I could see Auralia clenched for revenge in the distance… it seems. For a few minutes, we were flying carefree on Lilith, who was Dash's new pet and was adorable, seemingly. I wonder how Auralia's gonna get us now that we're in the air. The skies looked like the rainbow sunset, or it makes the sky nature's rainbow with all the 7 main colors in the sky. I could see the group of dinos walking and doing their daily business… or… whatever the heck their business is or what they even do as that. Everything was carefree at the moment… or so I thought.

Phase Two activated!

"Um, guys?" Bandana Dee says slowly. "We've got a major problem with Auralia again, and even worse!"

We all look behind us in the air and the ground and gasped to our surprise, because this isn't over yet! What could be worse than a giant Velociraptor? A velociraptor AND a giant fleet army of vicious, cold-blooded murdering Pterodactyls! And there was about fifty of them! Even worse or you could say fudged up is that Auralia somehow made Dynalociraptor freaking FLY, and now he has wings made of wind! It was one of those "HOLY FUDGE" moments, and this was one of them.

"No way! She managed to make him grow wings! That's messed up, man!" Dedede exclaimed. Suddenly, something caught my eye. It was a golden pyramid nearby, Star Pyramid!

"There's Star Pyramid, and it's so close by! We're gonna make it!" I pointed. Then, a wind ball nearly struck us down. "Ok, I take it back- we're going to be extinct!"

"We can't go to Star Pyramid with these guys after us," Dylan said, "We've gotta take them down right now or else we might not make it!"

"How?!" Dash asked. "We don't have any blaster type weapons with us! We need any blaster or weapons that can reach long distance enemies. And I have distance moves, but someone has to control the front for Lilith here."

"I do," I replied, pulling out the blasters from Recon Robo-Slayer and from Epic Sheriff. "We can use these to shoot them down."

"That'll come in handy- woah!" Dylan yelled because Lilith did a barrel roll to avoid an attack. "Ok, it can wait. Any long ranged distance moves or weapons will do! Let's go! Dash and I will hold the front while you guys hold the back!"

"Alright, guys. Let's do this," I grunted. Without even trying, I shot a nearby incoming Dynadactyl charging at us, and it bursts into stars.

Take down Dynalociraptor and 50 Dynadactyls at once! Best to take down the Dynadactyls first and avoid all of Dynalociraptor's attacks!

The first 10 of them came in from the right side high and did a barrel roll to the bottom left of our position. Using the guns, I aimed with precision and fired with perfect accuracy. The bullet drills pierced through their wings each, causing them to fall, shriek, and explode into stars.

Then, Fred's wings created a tornado, multiple of them, and slanged them at us. The suction rate was extremely powerful enough to suck anyone in, but Lilith's resistance power surpassed the attacks, and she was able to successfully maneuver us all out of the way. Then, 10 more came in and the way Dynalociraptor was chasing us was really… weird. It was literally flying in the air.

The others took a crack at shooting down the pterodactyls; I just told them to imagine it like when we were playing Scope Shot on Magolor's Lor Starcutter when we were helping him. Believe it or not, they actually bought the idea and it worked for them. I don't need practice because I have all the knowledge stored in my head; it just works that way, what can I say? Anyway, the process repeated for a while, and Lilith took us through open spaces in the jungle, curved through raceway canyons, and almost fell into the water once to shake huge amount of them off our trail.

Auralia was still being persistent in pursuing us. After we took the fleet of arwings down, Dynalociraptor then was enveloped in a yellow prism and looks like he's going super saiyan. We were confused at first, but then, that's when he shot a triple barrel laser from his mouth and we almost got caught in it! It shot a wide green barrel blast that caused a crater when struck on impact. It was just like an asteroid that caused the dinosaurs to become extinct 65,000,000 years ago! Our mouths literally dropped to the ground!

"Whoa!" Dash yelled. "That's one huge barrel laser!"

"Holy crap!" I shouted, "What the fudge was that?!"

Enemy Mystic Artes

Oops. Did I forget to mention that all bosses have a special attack? You did see the impact damage, right? Well, that was the Wind Beam move, and it looks like it can kill anyone in one hit. And sad to say, you'd be right if you think it was an automatic KO move, and it is. This is called the "One-Hit KO" Special. ALL bosses and even the members of the Zero Seven Force possess this power.

Did you notice the way Dynalociraptor was glowing in yellow energy? He was charging up his power, and fired his attack at will. I think you all know how it works: If you get caught in the charge and attack radius, they'll go all out on you without any chance to avoid or defend yourself, and then they go for the kill with a final attack that'll automatically KILL YOU in a flash!

Your characters have that kind of potential, but their Overdrive moves has to be upgraded in order to pull this off. Apparently, there's only one or maybe another way to survive One-Hit KO and here's a tip: Pay attention to when they're enveloped in yellow prism energy, and they'll either charge at you or charging up their laser. If they do either of that, the recommended way is to stay out of their attack radius and it will fail for the enemy. But don't let your guard down, because they might go for it a second time and in rare occasions up to ten times or more. Otherwise, if you fail to evade, it will result in an AUTOMATIC KO and you will lose a life or many in multiplayer. So watch out!

"Thanks for the tip," I gasped. "So, from what that guy said, that barrel laser was really a Mystic Arte instead!"

"How did you know that, Kirby?" Dedede asked.

"From a little someone," I replied.

"Who's that?" Meta Knight asked.

"Explain later!" Dylan yelled. "Here comes more!"

The last ten fleet charged at us with them being added to the pile of dead pterodactyls. With all of them out of the way, only Dynalociraptor was left. We did some damage to him, half of it, after the Dynadactyls were gone. Star Pyramid was right in the distance there, and we were almost there.

"Alright guys," Dash caught a breather and looked behind us, "We're almost there, so let's blow this Popsicle stand and-"

"-Look out!" Bandana Dee yelled, but it was too late, and we ran into another incoming one, making Lilith fall and twirl towards the ground. We all screamed to our descent, and what made it even worse is that it was right into the hard ground, followed by Dynalociraptor about to stomp on us on the way there.

"Mayday, mayday! We're losing altitude!" Dedede screamed.

Dash, thinking fast, had reins on Lilith earlier, so he told us to hold onto the reins while he climbed onto her face and tried everything to snap her out of it, even that mouth-to-mouth thing. Finally, he had to slap Lilith and luckily, she woke up from her dizziness and tried hard to pull up from the ground.

"Pull, guys! PULL!" Dash strained.

It was a thriller ride of death when the ground was coming closer to us. Dynalociraptor and Auralia was closing in on us to the ground. At last, just when it seemed like we were going to die, Lilith regained her flight and managed to pull up just in time and avoided hitting the ground, then took off like an airplane flight on a runway. It was a close one, but we lived. But what about Dynalociraptor, you may ask? Well, he crushed the hard ground so hard it crumbled to pieces, but however, he did a super jump and managed to get to our level.

"You're finished, punks!" Auralia said as Dynalociraptor was about to catch us in his mouth. It looks like this might be the end of us, as his gaping mouth was going to encage us inside forever and the lights went out-

"KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!"

Suddenly, the face of Dynalociraptor exploded, causing a chain of explosions around him. We were on land already by the time it happened. Then, after that, Dynalociraptor landed in front of us and collapsed to the ground. He roared in a pained defeat as he fell, admitting defeat, not after he was starting to stumble a little bit. It ended with one big explosion, and as well, Auralia was caught in that too. She ended up falling right in front of Dynalociraptor and collapsed. We all did a victory dance in victory to winning.

"Looks like you're extinct, Auralia!" I smirked, mentally punishing myself for those lame puns. What was I thinking?

"That was-" Everyone started to say.

I stopped them. "Not another word from you guys."

Dynalociraptor has been defeated! Victory!

All party members gained 80 Experience Points! All members have leveled up to Level 8!

Health Points increased to 180!

You gained a new pet, Lilith!

Item Retrieval: Dyna Claw!

Next level 9 in 70 exp points.

Auralia got up and was badly injured. She gasped for air, wheezing.

"Damn it! Just how were you brats able to take down Dynalociraptor as well as Sandrea?!"

Dylan and Dash was taken aback. "What, you mean, YOU were Diva Medusa the whole time?!"

"Tch, yeah. Now you've taken down both of my pets, and how were you able to escape the jaws of Fred and how did you know about our death attack, and I mean you, Kirby?!" Everyone looks at me in response.

I had a sly smile on my face. "Well… a little someone told me all your weaknesses and I just hope Fred here likes… GRENADES IN HIS BELLY!" I laughed and pulled out tons of grenades from my Neon Shot Blaster. "Who's the punk now?"

"Curses, this isn't over yet! You haven't seen the last of me!" Auralia said and disappeared in wind.

"Well, that's the end of that. Just another day in the life of the Star Warriors," I declared while swallowing a grenade. Everyone looks at me with shock and disgust. "Y'want barbeque sauce on that?" I asked. "Or maybe Sweet and sour. Maybe mayonnaise- nah, hold the mayonnaise for now. How about whipped cream?"

Everyone shouted, "THOSE WOULD BE WORSE THAN EATING HARD-BOILED EGGS IN ONE GULP! AND WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE ANYWAY?!"

"But they're so yummy in the tummy!" I joked. What's really sweet about this ability is that it also has a built-in food stand mechanic that I can create in my mind and it takes form on the spot! Pretty cool, right?

"IF YOU'RE CRAZY ENOUGH TO EAT GRENADES!" They shouted. "THEY EXPLODE, YOU MORON!"

"It's fine. Besides, these aren't REAL grenades. It's actually chocolate-shaped grenades. Want some?" I offered.

"NO!" They shouted at me; I remain unfazed.

"Alright, then," I shrugged as I munched on another chocolate grenade. The sight of that already made them sick.

"Hey, Kirby." Dedede asked. "Who is this "someone" that told you all of this anyway?"

At this point, I wondered if I had to tell them about the guy that told me, the player/author named KirbyPwnz1234. But I thought, Nah. They don't need to know, only I do. To be honest, could this also be part of the perks given to me by that star from Aura Grounds?

"Actually, it was a gut feeling that told me this. Just that. I came up with the idea to use a grenade to finish him off at the time he was about get us, so it was the grenade he ate, a real one."

Everyone just shrugged. Lilith seemed to have turned back into her regular form already. Dash patted her on the head. We saw the top of Star Pyramid up close. We were there, but right after we head to the goal and finished the level and did the goal game.

Level Two Complete!

The road to Star Pyramid was there, and we automatically head for it. Well, I guess we've got this far, and now we are on a mission to defeat Dark Matter, save Princess Kailaine, and break the curse. We've got a start so far, and we must do this mission before it's too late. I think this might be the start of new adventure. Don't worry, Kaila. We'll save you… I promise. And that's the promise that I'm going to keep…

Save your progress and quit? Yes.

Now Saving… Save Complete! Returning to Title Screen…

Now that they've taken on many foes, the gang are heading to Star Pyramid for the time being in order to reach Crater Base. What obstacles could they encounter in their quest to save the galaxy? For now, this tale must be closed for another time, but don't worry. All of Kirby's adventures will continue on…

End of Chapter 2 Act 2!

Author's Note Summary:

Chapter 10 is finally done, and just in time too! I have to turn in my laptop by Thursday now, and I kinda rushed, but managed to make great detail at once. Unfortunately guys, I'm sorry I have to tell you that this is the last chapter I'll post this year. I know, it's sad and I'm not happy with it either. It means that this story will be on hiatus. Eh?

Kirby: Hey, KirbyPwnz1234. Do you really have to go?

Yeah, I'm afraid so. It's my summer vacation in a few days from now, and I'm going on a special trip somewhere for half of the summer.

Kirby: But what about this story? Are you really going to end it here?

Yeah, I am. But don't worry. I'm not going to completely end the story right away. I'll be back in 2 1/2 months later on, since school is going to start somewhere in August. Man, it sucks. But I will still check on the progress of the story, y'know once in a while or so. You just hang on in there.

Kirby: Oh, okay. I guess you're right.

Anyway, I have a few things to say. I'll leave the story available to guest reviews and others too. But most importantly, I'd like to thank Emiliano733 and MikeySP for their daily reviews and their support for this story. I really appreciate it, you guys. Thanks for showing your support in this story, oh, and for anyone else that did too. You can still use PM and maybe I'll not answer right away, but I'll get to it when I have the chance. I'll probably update my profile so you can all know when I'm working on it or whatever. The one thing I'm going to say is that you won't expect another chapter from me in 2 1/2 months, but 10 chapters is all I can give you so far.

Kirby: Wow, seriously?

Hey, be quiet! I'm still speaking! Anyway, I'm probably going to just write so much chapters and then post them all at once next time, or just do what I did before. So, you can also turn the review thing into a Q&A thing during the summer, and I'll answer them for you in PM or at the end of each chapter. Also, from 10 chapters so far, let me know in your reviews what is it about this story and what part of it you really liked the most and why; also on the characters so far and OC's as well, and maybe have a couple pair on who with who. (I won't force you to do that and that won't happen. At least not yet, but if you're up for it, don't hesitate to add that to your reviews now and later on. That's means you'll see the type of romantic chaos as well. Possible guarantee, and not all will try to go for Kirby only.)

Kirby: Wait, what?

Nothing, nothing. So, I'm really proud of this RPG story of my own, and I really hope that there will be a full-fledged Kirby RPG soon, and if a story like this was already a game or anyone else's ideas are there too, it could be awesome. And if I was good at making art, maybe I could draw them out or maybe ask my sister to do it, she's good at it. Eventually, I'll rack up some ideas during my vacation and save them later just in case. So, if you liked this story, you know the drill. And by drill, I mean literally the drill that'll pierce through the heavens!

Kirby: What's the point of that?

Eh, I just felt like it.

Kirby: Are you crying? There's tears down your face.

No, I'm sweating through my eyes, it's legit, Kirby. It's possible to sweat through your eyes-ok, I am crying! Because this story has to be put on pause for the summer! WHY?!

Kirby: Dude, stop being melodramatic. It'll be alright. Now, man up, soon-to-be sophomore!

Alright, thanks. Oh yeah, make sure to hold the fort for me while I'm gone. I'll check on you guys once in a while. Plus, in my opinion, I think you and Kaila make a great couple together, even though you've been smooched on the cheek so many times, and maybe someone counted; plus, on the lips. You da Man!

Kirby: Wow, thanks a lot, KirbyPwnz1234. Hey, aren't you the one who wrote this story? Why did you say you're a player then?

Did you forget? This is a story with RPG elements, remember? You're expected to know these familiar terms and references. And with your Copy Ability, your moveset is expansive, but you will have a limit, and you'll have to wait till 2 1/2 months to find out what it is. The abilities I gave you are fan-made by me, and probably some are requested by the readers. Pretty badass if I say so myself.

Kirby: Yeah, they're pretty cool. A lot has happened on this adventure, hasn't it? We get a visit, I met the Princess of Crystal Star, I became human now, we got attacked by Dark Matter who was reborn and now can talk then kidnapped Kaila, and now we found her lost little sister, Kazela. Little by little, we're finding out more secrets about Dark Matter. But in my dream, there's something unusual I saw. What does it all mean, what is the secret behind the Zero Seven Force, why is Dark Matter taking specific girls along with Kaila, and what is Dark Matter really up to, because something tells me there's more to this than just what they said.

Relax, all your questions will be answered soon, as well as the readers too, because it's a surprise and we wouldn't wanna spoil it, would we? All the questions you and the readers have will be the key to the mystery.

Kirby: So, I guess this is it. Goodbye, then?

No, goodbye for now. I'll be back soon, I've said it a million times! You'll be fine, Kirby!

Kirby: Yeah, you're right!

Anyway, I guess this is goodbye for now, readers. Thanks for reading and have an awesome summer, you guys! If you need me, I'll be in Vegas!

Kirby: What?!

Just kidding! I'll be going out of town for a surprise trip! Hasta la vista, everyone, and thanks for reading!

Kirby: Byyeee! Have a nice summer vacation! And to all of you as well, readers!

(Sorry if this was too corny for you to handle.)

Next time, Kirby and the gang will head for Star Pyramid and the Fire Chamber in Chapter 2 Act 3! Hope you all like chapter 10 and the other ones as well! This story will be on hiatus for now until school starts again. Peace out!
