Chapter 3: Clash! The Calajengs vs. Dream Land, the Country of Peace!
At least googols of light years away, lie a spaceship the size of a Red Giant, and shaped like a tiger's skull. However, it is a thousand-fold much denser than it looks. And surrounding it were small planet-sized spaceships, filled with billions and billions of soldiers.
This was the Calajeng Empire's headquarters, its name is Angkasa.
And the bodyguards' ships, which are called the Bintang Pemusnahans, guarded the Angkasa in emergencies.
Inside Angkasa, there was a young woman in a black and white outfit running down the halls to the emperor's main office. Her pink eyes were determined to reach that destination, and nothing would stop her.
She ran past hundreds and hundreds of soldiers who did not pay her any attention as she was just doing her job.
This is Menyuaki, one of emperor's Battle Maids. One of her many, many jobs was to tell the emperor any news as he had other important matters to attend to.
After running for minutes, she made it to the front door of the emperor's office. Two Calajeng guards were guarding the door with tree-tall spears.
"Please step aside," stated Menyuaki, "I need to speak to His Greatness, it's an emergency!"
The scorpion-like guards looked at each other and decided to move out of the way. For every wise member of the Empire knew making the God-Emperor upset…, well death would be the least of your issues.
"Thank you…" sighed the pink haired Maid.
Menyuaki ran past the two guards and into the office.
She saw the emperor signing papers that would be laws for the recently conquered worlds. She immediately bowed beforehand. The emperor's icy blue eyes met with the pink eyed Maid.
Silence choked the atmosphere for a few seconds, then the God-Emperor boomed.
"You may speak…"
"O Great One, ruler of the Heroes and the Heavens!" "I bring news that Jinshu of the Permula Lieutenants has destroyed the planet: Megastar, recovered the right horn of the Lambent Amulet, and is currently chasing some criminals on a backwater planet!"
Menyuaki found out about Jinshu's little adventure due to the tracking device on every spaceship within the empire, and also talking to the Permula Lieutenants who did not know where the spiky-haired general went.
The emperor began scratching his red mane, "Hmmm, tell me where this planet is and who are these criminals?"
"Well, that planet is Popstar and one of those criminals is Star Butterfly, heiress to the Mewni Throne!"
The emperor's eyes widened. He hadn't heard of those places in a very long time.
"She and her armies are currently fighting Star, her friends, and the Hero of the Stars: Kirby!" "O God-Emperor Murka, what shall we do?"
The emperor known as Murka was quiet for a few seconds, then he declared.
"Nothing…"
Murka got up, and he was a very imposing figure, standing at 9 feet tall. And he put on his crown, and looked out the window seeing the stars twinkle and fly across space. As his golden armor and crown glittered in the room and his two giant scorpion tails became tense.
Then he turned his attention to Menyuaki.
"I'm not going to be here forever despite my title, dear Menyuaki, so Jinshu got her men into this mess; so, she can get them out of it." "And blowing up Megastar was not part of the agenda…"
The God-Emperor goes through a spiritual cycle, where his spirit goes from the former host to the next person in line. Or at least, that's what the Calajengs think about how leadership goes on.
Menyuaki gulped, then spoke, "I-I see." "You do not want to help Jinshu because she disobeyed your orders…"
"Exactly, the planet was not deemed a threat, despite having warriors living on it."
Menyuaki understood Murka's mindset, despite what his enemies say, he was not ruthless. The soldiers should have told Jinshu that this was a bad idea, but they didn't.
"Please tell the Permula Lieutenants about Jinshu's location and tell them not to chase after her. She needs to learn this on her own." "You are dismissed."
"Thank you, God-Emperor. I will do that right away!"
The pink-haired Maid walked out the office room, and the two guards let her through. Then remained back to their posts.
All Menyuaki could do was pray.
Meanwhile, back on Popstar, Jinshu was fighting Fire Kirby, Star, Marco and Reiya. The spiky-haired menace was dodging attacks and striking not as often as she did on Megastar. Mostly because Marco's strength increased because of Monster Arm and Kirby having a copy ability.
'Tch, this is getting annoying, time to switch up my strategy!' thought Jinshu.
Jinshu landed on the ground for a split second, then decided to spring into her opponents.
"Rocket Shot!" shouted the general.
Jinshu was now bouncing around her rivals, using the nearby spaceships as bumpers. She was only getting faster and faster with each ricochet.
As the general was launching herself to Marco, Kirby thought it was time for a counterattack.
"Burn!" shouted Kirby. The puffball turned him into a fireball and rocketed into Jinshu.
The two clashed, energy and heat sparking off of each other, one moment it looked like Jinshu was winning, the next moment it was Kirby. When Star, Marco and Reiya tried to come close, they felt the amount of raw energy coming from these two fighters.
"You can't break me, you won't!" shouted Jinshu.
"HAAAAHHHAHHH!" screamed Kirby.
The two warriors continued to clash in the air until Star decided to do something.
"Rabbit Rocket Blast!"
The attack caused Star to fly right beside the Pink Demon and join him in the clash. Covered by yellow aura.
"YAAAHH!" shouted the Mewman Princess.
"It doesn't matter how many of you join, I will be victorious ONCE AND FOR ALL!" shouted Jinshu.
Then the two friends decided to hold hands, and unleash a devastating combo attack, "Burning Rabbit Rocket!" The attack looked like a giant fireball with phantom figures of rabbits wrapped around it.
That was enough to overpower Jinshu, causing the general to fly straight into the ground, miles deep.
"Woah, since when could you do that?" asked Marco.
"I'm not sure, but I felt like it was the right thing to join forces at that moment," answered Star, "Isn't that right, Kirby?"
Kirby nodded.
Then, Reiya said, "Let's not celebrate just yet. We have to check if Jinshu is still able to move."
The blue-haired teen then jumped down the newly created hole, and Kirby, Star and Marco joined after her.
King Dedede and Bandana Dee were handling the mid-boss, Ceteuran, when the second and final Jinshu clone appeared into the fray.
"Bandana Dee, handle the mid-boss! I got the shark-looking freak!" shouted Dedede.
"Yes, Great King!"
"What did you call me?!" roared Jinshu's clone and ricocheted off the ground towards the portly penguin.
The Ceteuran let out a battle cry as Bandana Dee got into position, the mid-boss raised its monstrous claws at the spear fighter and swung three times.
The first two attacks were dodged, but the orange idol blocked the third strike with his spear.
The attack launched Bandana Dee a few feet back, however he landed on his feet. Causing the Ceteuran to chase down the Waddle Dee.
It was time for a counterattack.
Bandana Dee ran at the red beast, then shouted, "Waddle Triple Throw!"
With this, the brown-eyed Waddle Dee threw three spears, the Ceteuran was about to breathe fire to burn the spears away. But one of the spears got into the six holes in the beast's body, causing the red scorpion to scream in pain.
"RAWWWRR!"
'Now, is my chance…' thought Bandana Dee.
The small, orange warrior ran up to the beast, and punched him multiple times over. Especially where that spear was stuck. Bandana Dee punched that spear, and it went deeper into the Ceteuran's body, causing him to scream louder.
But, before the mid-boss could finish screaming, Bandana Dee did a rising uppercut to the Ceteuran's jawline. Causing the red beast to fly into the stratosphere and be defeated.
The Calajeng soldiers watched in silence, as this small creature defeated a mid-boss like it was nothing. They were too stiff to move. Stiff in fear.
'Now, to help the Great King, he'll need help…' thought Bandana Dee, and he ran off to where Dedede and Jinshu were fighting.
King Dedede was swinging his giant mallet, hitting Jinshu every chance he got. Bandana Dee ran up to the stunned Jinshu and kicked her upside the head. Causing the clone to drift off like a crazy tumbleweed.
"Glad to see you're okay, Bandana Dee, now let's get her!" declared the Great King.
"Yes, of course."
On the Battleship Halberd, Meta Knight and the other Jinshu clone were moving so fast that the Meta-Knights could not see them. The air exploded a couple of times to signify the times the sword fighter and the general strike at the same time.
The two fighters made it back to the middle of the room, allowing the Meta-Knights to see what was actually happening.
Meta Knight had Galaxia in his right hand, while the Jinshu clone was clashing the golden sword with her left hand. The blue knight was able to overpower the spiky-haired menace, and follow it up with strong, yet fast sword swings.
"D-Damn it…" hissed Jinshu, as she spat some blood.
The clone stepped back a few feet to avoid Meta Knight's other attacks and began to jump off the walls of the Halberd at great speeds.
Jinshu was about to attack the Meta-Knights like a bowling ball about to strike the pins, however, Meta Knight was faster and flipped his Dimensional Cape over the clone.
"Behold…"
The room was covered in darkness, Jinshu could not move an inch, then a blue sword swing cut through the clone. Meta Knight just did one of his strongest attacks, Galaxia Darkness.
"G-Gugh…" panted the Jinshu clone as she landed on all fours and knew that the masked fighter pull all his strength into that attack.
This fight was over.
Or was it?
Jinshu threw large amounts of dust that stirred up during the battle at Meta Knight's face.
"H-Hey!"
The clone ran off.
"Men! Stop her!" commanded Captain Vul, and the Meta-Knights followed her.
Then ran into the control room using the remaining of her strength, to karate chop the controls. Causing the controls to malfunction.
The Halberd was already in bad shape due to Meta Knight and Jinshu's fight, but this was the last straw.
The Meta-Knights caught up with her, and she said her final words, "I might be dying, but I'm taking you all with me… For the glory of the God-Emperor…"
Then she collapsed.
During that time, Meta Knight was able to get the dust off his eyes. Then, caught up to his crew using all the strength of his bat-like wings.
"Sir Meta Knight, the commands have been destroyed, the Halberd will crash into Dream Land in five minutes!" yelled Blade Knight.
"Yes, I know," Meta Knight coolly stated.
"Men," continued Meta Knight, "Do everything in your power to make the Battleship make as few casualties as possible!"
"Yes, sir!" yelled his crew, and quickly got to work.
At Dedede's castle, Taranza and the king's soldiers were winning the fight against what seemed like hundreds and hundreds of Calajeng soldiers.
Taranza used a lot of spider webs to trap the enemies and strike them while they couldn't move.
Causing them to die where they hanged.
The spider-like mage continued to send giant energy spheres into rows of enemies, and the King's cannons in the walls began to shoot laser beams.
This happened due to Taranza manipulating his magic over the cannons and causing the last of the Calajeng soldiers to be defeated.
Well, in that room.
"Holy Sh-" were the last words a Calajeng soldier said before he was turned into ash.
"Did-did we just do that?" asked a Waddle Doo.
"I think we did…" panted a Cappy.
"Everyone," stated Taranza, "Make sure everyone in the castle is safe, I'll do the same and try to help the Great King and Bandana Dee afterwards…"
The small creatures nodded, then they scattered to look for their comrades.
'Great King, Bandana Dee, hold on just a bit longer…' thought Taranza, after that, he flew around the castle to make sure no one was still fighting, hurt, or killed.
Kirby, Star, Marco and Reiya ran deeper and deeper into the tunnel that Dream Land's hero and the heiress to the Mewni Throne created.
The pink puffball decided to bring out a cellular device, and call his signature ride, the Warp Star.
"Wait, what is that?" asked Marco.
"Marco, we don't have time for questions, we've got a world to save!" shouted Star.
"The Warp Star is real too?! This day is getting weirder and weirder…" exclaimed Reiya.
"The what-now?" asked Marco.
"Marco, hurry up and grab my hand!" shouted Star.
Marco just gave up and grabbed Star's hand.
Next, the three teenagers hopped on the Warp Star with Kirby. And they raced down the dark tunnel at light speed.
Eventually, the quartet made it to the end of the tunnel. They could still see due to Kirby's Fire Copy Ability.
Jinshu was knocked out and was leaning against a wall. The Warp Star stopped at its destination, and the four kids hopped off.
"Ugh…" groaned Jinshu.
"So… I'm just going to ignore the giant, yellow Star that Kirby just casually summoned," Marco said, "Now, what should we do about her?" While pointing at the unconscious general.
"Maybe we can tie her up, ask her questions about her 'God-Emperor' and the empire he or she or they is running," declared Reiya.
Uh, is she even alive?" questioned Star.
Jinshu, like on cue or something, opened her eyes and spat out some blood, "You kids got some nerves thinking about tying me up and thinking I'll talk!"
"Oh crap! She's alive?!" screamed Marco. The other three kids got into fighting positions.
"I'll kill you!" roared Jinshu as she tackled the Latino American teen in a split second, having her hands on Diaz's neck.
"Get your hands off of him!" Star shouted as she had the Royal Magic Wand ready to aim.
"Over my dead body, princess!" Jinshu screeched back. Her grip became tighter.
"Gah, H-help…" croaked Marco.
"Don't move!" Jinshu demanded from Kirby, Star and Reiya, "Or I'll kill him!"
Then Star had a crazy idea, it was their only option at winning.
"EasyPeasyTimeFreezyPlanetaryStyle!" shouted Star as quickly as she could. This spell she just used froze all of time on Popstar.
"You could have used this at any time?!" asked Reiya.
"We'll talk later, just get Jinshu off of Marco! It's taking every ounce of energy to not break the spell!" groaned Star.
Kirby nodded, then ran towards Jinshu. Moved her hands from Marco's neck and moved the male teenager out of the way.
Then, with Reiya, attacked the spiky-haired general a few times. A punch and a kick there. Yo-yo swings here and there. Fire Breath from Fire Kirby and Reiya respectively, up and down.
"Okay, time is running out! I've got this," shouted Star "Mega Nightmare Narwhal Blast!
Kirby and Reiya moved Marco and themselves out of the way, as Star did her attack.
Then, time resumed.
"Wait?! Where did he-," Jinshu did not have the time to realize that Star stopped time for a few minutes. But, when she did, she was covered in tons and tons of pressure of water as she and the narwhals were shot up the tunnel.
"Thanks guys…" creaked Marco.
"No Problem! Now, everyone, get on the Warp Star! It's time to finish this fight!" shouted Kirby.
The three adolescents nodded and hopped aboard the Warp Star with the Pink Hero of Dream Land.
King Dedede and Bandana Dee were fighting the Jinshu clone, striking her with hammer and spear swings. No matter what she did, the duo had a counterattack on her. Every time she tried to go faster; the Great King would perform the Hypernova Inhale, a stronger variant of Kirby's signature attack, and spit her to the ground.
"E-Enough!" roared the Jinshu clone, "Just who do you think you two are?!"
"I am Dedede the Great King of Dream Land, and you caused a war on my kingdom. For that, death awaits you!" declared Dedede.
The Great King started to swing in place with his enormous hammer and was performing one of his strongest attacks: The Hammer Throw!
But before Jinshu could move from her spot, Bandana Dee came up from behind and held her in a harsh position.
"Grr… let go of me!" shouted the clone.
"I'm Bandana Waddle Dee!" shouted the orange idol, "The friend of Kirby and servant of the Great King! You came to the wrong planet!"
"Now, Great King!"
The King did just that and threw his hammer at the clone. The force was so strong it knocked the teeth out of her, which sent Jinshu's clone into a small spaceship causing her to go up in flames and crash into the countryside. Bandana Dee moved at the last split second.
The soldiers just saw one of their generals be defeated, easily, by a portly penguin and an orange sphere creature with a bandana.
"Retreat!" screamed one of Jinshu's men. And all the soldiers that were fighting Dedede and Bandana Dee to cease their attacks ran into their spaceships and flew off to find the original Jinshu.
"Should we chase after them, Great King? They don't appear to be leaving the planet's atmosphere yet…" declared Bandana Dee.
"You can do that, and try to find Kirby or Meta Knight, I'm sure they weren't just goofing around while this happened, I need to check up on my subjects," demanded Dedede, "I'll check up with you after I'm done."
"Yes sir!" saluted Bandana Dee as he ran after the spaceships.
'Kirby, Meta Knight, Taranza, my subjects, I hope you all are doing well…' thought King Dedede. Then the King ran to his castle.
Meanwhile, Meta Knight and his crew were trying their best to not cause the damaged Halberd to have any casualties as it was screaming out of the sky and was on fire.
"Sir, we're running out of time!" cried Sailor Waddle Dee.
"Sword Knight, Blade Knight! Drive the Halberd into the Orange Ocean!" shouted Meta Knight, "Everyone! We are abandoning ship!"
"De ja vu?" asked Trident Knight, "Huh, Meta Knight?"
"Don't remind me," growled Meta Knight.
"Yes, sir!" said Trident Knight.
"You heard the boss," shouted Mace Knight, "Everyone off the Halberd, now!"
The first one to leave was Captain Vul, as he sighed, "Just when Sir Meta Knight was winning too…"
Then Sailor Waddle Dee, "Goodbye Halberd, I'll miss you!"
Then Axe Knight.
Then Javelin Knight, "This is a shame, but life goes on…"
Then Mace Knight.
Then Trident Knight, "You fought validity, dear Halberd…"
Then Sword and Blade Knights.
And finally, Meta Knight, "Thank you…"
Meta Knight and his crew landed on a cliff, similar to how Kirby landed with his pal, Wheelie, destroyed the Halberd and stopped Meta Knight's mad plan.
But now it was by their hands. Sort of…
The men watched as their pride and joy crashed into the Orange Ocean.
"I have a feeling, this fight is not over just yet…" declared Meta Knight, "Sword, Blade, come with me, we've got a world to save!" "The rest of you try to recover what's left of the Halberd."
Sword Knight and Blade Knight grabbed on to Meta Knight, and the blue knight flew away towards the distance.
The rest of Meta-Knights nodded and went to a nearby village to see if anyone could help them.
"I hope those three will be okay…" sighed Sailor Dee.
The Mega Nightmare Narwhal Blast finally reached the surface of Popstar, and out of it came the defeated Jinshu.
Kirby and his new friends landed right after her on the Warp Star.
"Want some more of this, Jinshu?" Star stated.
"RETREAT!" shouted Jinshu.
The Calajeng soldiers gasped, then began to leave the countryside. They saw more of their ships leaving and began to follow suit.
"Don't think you've won, this is only the beginning," hissed Jinshu.
One of the ships crashed into each other due to the sheer panic in the air, and out came the right horn of the Lambent Amulet.
It looked similar to an ancient dragon that used to rule the skies eons ago.
"Ya morons!" yelled Jinshu, "Recover it!"
Kirby used his ability, Burn, to turn into a fireball and raced past the Calajengs and grabbed the Lambent Amulet.
The Pink Puffball was about to return to his new friends, but some soldiers were about to jump Kirby. However, Star had a different idea.
"Mystic Suck Portal!"
With this, Star created a wormhole that sucked up the ten or so Calajeng soldiers, while Kirby was running for his life. Trying not to be sucked in.
Star tried to aim the wormhole at Jinshu, but she and her crew were long gone.
So, Star closed the portal with a simple spell.
Kirby sighed in relief, he was getting flashbacks to his fights with Marx and Magolor, respectively. He then dropped the Fire copy ability, as he no longer needed it.
"Sorry about that, Kirby…" said Star.
"Don't worry about it," stated Kirby.
Marco and Reiya walked over to the other two kids and stared at the right horn of the Lambent Amulet that was in Kirby's stubs.
Kirby split into three beings and then did a short victory dance after a hard earned battle.
Then the two clones disappeared.
Marco and Reiya did not know how to react, but Star couldn't help and smiled, "So cute."
"So, that's the Lambent Amulet that Jinshu talked about," Marco declared.
"Right!" answered Reiya, "And if the rumors are correct, then there are eleven more amulets to find across the cosmos…"
"Um, how are we supposed to find them again?" asked Marco.
"Sweet, sweet Marco, you worry too much," cooed Star, as she casually made a tracker with the Royal Magic Wand.
"Of course, magic…" said Marco.
"Hey Kirby!" shouted a voice, it was none other than Bandana Waddle Dee running towards them.
"Is that one of your friends?" Star asked, "He's adorable!" she said with sparkling eyes.
Kirby smiled, "It is! Hiii!"
Bandana Dee ran towards the quartet and stopped right in front of them.
"I'm glad to see you're okay, Kirby…" sighed Bandana Dee, "I was worried that something happened to you!"
"I was fighting off these enemies, like you were…" announced Kirby "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, so tell me Kirby, who are your new friends?" asked Bandana Dee as he looked at Star, Marco and Reiya.
Vs. Jinshu's Return!
After capturing Reiya's friends, the Kaiju Slayers, and destroying her home planet, the spiky-haired menace had an instinct that Star, Marco and Reiya were not dead. So, after finding out information on her supercomputer, she decided to make a trip to Popstar, and pleased her God-Emperor. This should be a cakewalk for Jinshu, right? Wrong!
Vs. Jinshu's Clones!
Some time has passed since Jinshu was recruited into the Calajeng Empire, so after a distant planet was conquered by the Empire. Jinshu decided to train and learned how to create clones of herself. She can only create two at a time. They are not as strong as the original, but they get the job done. Well, usually…
