Side story: welcome to the weapon's shop

After the meeting at King dedede's castle… our heroes, alongside uyijasu hojo, hanbei takenaka and hideyoshi toyotomi went to visit the weapon shop in waddle dee town… geesh, wonder why the interest in weaponry.- kirby jests.

It's always a good thing to have something to defend yourself.- countered uyijasu.

-I know, i was just asking.

Anyways, i wonder who's the Smith.- kunoichi wonders.- from what we've seen, waddle dees seem too pacific to consider making weapons.

Barring me, and the king's guard- clarified bandana dee…- these are more or less were we try to innovate kirby's copy abilities, some have weapons, while on the others we try to expand their powers.

Seems quite cool- leon said- but what about the copy ability?

Ooh… forgot to explain it.- kirby facepalmed.

Shall i throw my spear?- bandana dee offered.

Yeah, that will do… stand back everyone.- with that said, kirby prepared to inhale.

Here it goes.- and with that, bandana dee threw the spear… only for kirby to inhale it… then eat it, earning a red headband with a golden diamond, then, he pulled the spear from his endless void for a tummy, and started slashing like a pro.

That's AMAZING!- The brawlers, and kunoichi exclaimed.- you can copy anything?- jessie asked.

Not everything, just many things that have power, the essence of it.- kirby explained.

Looks like yukimura got some competition.- uyijasu told himself in disbelief.

Ok… we're here.- as bandana dee exclaimed, getting everyone's attention…

It was a sight to behold.

Never let up! From dream team bros goes here.

They were met with a waddle dee, the weapon shop owner, to be exact, barely holding onto a giant Wheel with eyes and a mad temper… while the Little waddle dee known as archie, had a green cap, a Brown smith's apron, and Little googles qualified for forging… and was using his Little mallet in an attempt to defeat the giant Wheel.

Even though archie fought valiantly, wheelie was just too stubborn toe ven feel the hits land

Great, forgot giant wheelie's visit.- kirby facepalmed at forgetting that a foe was arriving.

Might i ask what that creature is- nene asked, both curious and in preocupation.

To simplify, he's part of a species of sentient wheels named… wheelies.- bandee began to resume.- that one, giant wheelie, is what we call a midboss.

To take it simple, they're stronger than your average baddie, but weaker than those with a connection to the villain, or the ones found at the end of an area.- leon finished.

Exactly… and this guy's quite the roadkiller… and pain in the roads if he's taking them.- kirby, loathing, remarked.

As if on cue, the moment giant wheelie Heard that… he dropped the weapon shop's owner… AND RUSHED STRAIGHT INTO KIRBY'S FACE…

Only to be received by some stars courtesy of an invisible leon…

Well, can't say i'm surprised… but if you're only going to ram… might as well pop that Wheel of yours.- leon in a sassy tone, said.

Finally, time to see what a foe from dream land can do.- bibi said with a grin, yearning a good fight.

Nita's angry… and i WILL beat you.- nita attempted to trash talk…

The giant wheelie for his end… was inflating his busted tire… and put on a funny band aid.

Pfft… hahahah…- nita began to laugh… only for the wheelie to burn some rubber… and leave her bitting the smoke…

ACK… coff…

Great, first this pink puff can copy abilities and has a black hole for an absorsion… then we meet a living Wheel… i'm going to like this place…- uyijasu muttered.- as for you… well…-

And from his cane, a blast emerged, like a gunshot, it threw the giant wheelie of it's game… and made it fall onto itself…

Not to waste time, uyijasu rushed and slashed the left pipe with the blade concealed in it's cane… woah…- was the response of the brawlers…

A normal looking ítem concealing a weapon… simply amazing- jessie was impressed…- note to self, implement that in case i need an actual weapon, perhaps a big wrench that serves as either a club… or a mallet.- she then muttered to herself.

However, the wheelie wasn't done… as it began to spin in place, forming a Little tornado and flying in the air.

Only to be poked… and almost toppled by a spear thrown by bandee…

Nice one Little dee.- kunoichi complemented..

It's nothing, but experience.- was bandee's response…

Even then, the wheelie didn't quit, and resumed flying… only for a turret to shot him with some bubblegum… trapping him.

You liked it?, it's our combo of gum and gun.- bibi boasted.

I'd prefer we named it guns and roses.- jessie muttered in a hint of anger.

And this… was enough to defeat the wheelie… who stood there, took a good look at everyone… and in a honorable bow… left to the road.

Well… what a way to start the day, don't ya think- kirby said…

Sorry for the issue…- archie apologized.- i was testing with him a new pipe frame, and it provoked a screeching sound that drove him a Little mad.

A Little… you say.- bibi said in a mocking tone…- but we understand…

Anyways, you want to enter the weapon shop, i take you.- said archie… as the crew began to walk to the weapon shop.

Waddle dee's weapon shop

The eponimous theme goes here.

Archie :Welcome to the weapon's shop.

Leon: simply… INCREDIBLE!- the brawl stars crew were quite impressed, even kunoichi had to agree the place was quite neat, it was different to the usual blacksmiths she visited back home… the building was quite humble outside, having a sign of a scroll, a sword and a link-inspired hat outside, Little flower pots adorned a brown Wood door with a star, and the Windows showcased the multiple hats and weapons… the inside, however, was bigger…

The building was a hall, from one end to the other, hats, weapons and armor would be seen adorning the kirby shaped mannequins.

The weapons (and copy abilities) were quite varied: you could see the usual weapons; swords, hammers, lances (mainly for bandana dee and the soldiers of the King) and guns- (those are a recent addition thanks to kirby's ranger ability) explained archie.

Alongside them however, there were unconventional weapons; parasols, bombs, a hat with a lot of needles, a crown with flames, a literal dril on a hat, a sleeping cap with a pillow… (that bandana dee says it can pack a punch so long as you take your naps) a cutter that also serves as a boomerang…

It was quite incredible just how much was available for one to choose.

I have to say, your armory is quite simply, amazing archie- kunoichi said, impressed.

Thanks… but considering dream land usually doesn't ge tinto armed conflict that requires weapons, it tends to fall more onto the adventures to pick their weapons.- archie began to explain.- and it's almost kirby who gets onto adventures, so he's the main source of the weapons, with all the abilities he's gotten, there's a varied arsenal.

No wonder he's always up for any task.- bibi mused…- well, you'd said we could get a freebie, right?

Archie: of course.

Then can you check on mr. Bat, i want to improve it.- bibi replied.

Very well.- he answered- then time to work.

Just as he said that, he puto n his goggles, and sat atop his chair, taking bibi's bat with him, before the chair spun, and followed the rails onto the work table, with mallets, saws, wrenches, rules, blueprints, and pencils.

Ok… let's see…- he began to analize- pine Wood, durable, but maybe add a light metal cover, to allow it to take and dish more hits… handle's quality is good… but maybe a softer yet sticky surface would do best, i'd rather avoid friction making it slip up, so wool was a good choice… lastly, those spikes, in my personal opinión, if those spikes were to do something… then i would make the top of the bat interchangeable, that way you have a brawl-fitted bat, or a battle fitted one, using the spikes as enhancers to your swings…

That sounds great.- bibi replied in approval.

And with that, he took to his mallet, and began applying the metal alloy, sawed the top and made it interchangeable, ensuring it was easy to change, and would not be sent flying, he then took to polish it…

And presto, it's done.- archie said, with the modifications finished.

Woah… (swings it) just as i like it… thanks archie.- bibi commented and commended.

It's nothing, just experience.- was his answer.

Well then, you see archie, i'm more of a throwing star kinda guy.- leon began to explain.- while my sister (nita: hello) prefers to go in hand to hand combat, she fights like a predator… you catch my drift? archie: of course, but i ask; do you seek a weapon, or a container for your stars?

Maybe a mix of both- leon answered

Ok… let's see what i can do… hand me at least three of your stars.- archie requested.

Here- and with that, leon gave him the stars.

Lemme see… ok, i think i know… yep, will work.

And with that, he took a woodplank, and began to cut it in the shape of a staf, then added golden tips to it, cutting some holes to fit the throwing stars, placing some tiny ropes in each, and then placing an u shaped woodpiece atop the staff, driving a screwnut in order to connect the piece, adding a Little rubber band… and presto.

Well… top ut it bluntly, it's a cane, a staff would be the most accurate name, and has two modes; the first uses the three stars as a makeshift claw cane, so you can slash things from a distance, or grab things, to make it simple, consider it a hunting claw, meant to grab and toss enemies and things… the second, it's through that band, if you want to throw the stars, simply pull them a bit to release them, and launch them, then use the staff to call them back, if you want to be precise, then use the rubber band and the staff as a makeshift slingshot, and don't worry, i ensured to pick resistant rubber.

This… oh… this is perfect, thanks.- leon was happy.

And a Little bag for your throwing stars too- archie added.- as for your sister…

He began to pull a gift box.

I simply inspired myself from kirby's animal ability, enjoy.- was all he said.

And when nita opened the box, she was shocked.

She saw animal paw-shaped gloves and boots… but she touched the claws, they were a mixture of bronze and steel, perfectly durable, and stylish, meanwhile the feet had more dril shaped claws, as if meant to enhance climbing, however, nita saw a steel piece, meaning she could stomp on her opponents, pounce on them… or enhance her kicks.

How could i've never thought of this… i'm so glad we've got to visit here… now nita can hunt like a true beast… one day.- she exclaimed for the world to see.

It's nothing, i'm just glad to do my job.- archied said, happy for a job well done.

Uyijasu: well… i do have a weapon of my own, but i want to ask… what metals do you recommend to improve it?- shows him his cane, and the sword it conceals.

I would recommend, through personal experience, iron with a piece of titanium alloy, it will make the blade durable, and light to carry, from what i see… that cane blade is a one handed weapon- was archie's judgement.

Uyijasu: it seems you truly are skilled at your craft, and have a fine eye for weapons, name's uyijasu.

-Archie's the name

Excuse me, mr. Archie… i wanted to ask you something.- up next, was jessie, the scrapheap genius from starr park.

-What is it?

I just wanted to ask you… what do you think of my lightning fixer?.

Ok, lemme see- he began to check it…- for a rifle weapon… i'm impressed, it has an energy container just to manufacture lightning strikes by using water balloons to conduit the shock, the size of the Little spheres makes them hard to see, and by the grip- he begins to grab it as a claymore.- it allows for quite a painful melee weapon, and it's shaped like a wrench, so there's practicality… well done.

To this, jessie smiled.

Kunoichi: ok… you've got quite the Smith on your town.

Thanks… i'm honestly glad i could help him pursuit his dreams.- kirby said.

I'm eager to take my soaring dragon blades to see how he can adapta nd improve them… from what i've seen, he managed to give multiple forms to each of your abilities.- nene was preparing for another visit.

Yeah, better to be safe than sorry, each form of my copy abilities are different evolutions, consider them variations of the norm, my sword ability can be transformed into a greatsword, or i could wield two guns rather than one blunderbuss.- kirby resumed

No matter the situation, you've always got a trick up your sleeve, seems dream land got the witts of a ninja.- kunoichi expressed.

Your drone's quite well polished as it is…- he answered to bea.

Bea: oh… ok…

But i just know you can find a way to improve it, then we can find a way to pull it of.- he answered- but you have to find something to innóvate with it.

Bea: ok… i'm sure i'll buzz with creativity.

And so everyone prepared to leave.

Kirby: thanks for the weapons, archie.

Leon: i'm going to use my cane to the best of my abilities.

Jessie: i'm glad to meet another gadget enthusiast.

Bibi: we'll be seeing soon.

Archie: bye bye… take care, and good luck saving the world… if you need a weapon or a gizmo, count on this waddle dee.

And with that, he closed the doors of the weapons shop…

For no matter what happens next, he would be there for his friends, no matter what.

Then… he found a note…

Well… are you taking interns… if so… can i work with you for a while? Only if you want to, i want to explore new things and innovations to make the scrap pile back home into something beautiful.

· Jessie.

Heh, those kids, they sure have a bright future… maybe i'll tell her tomorrow.- he mused… to himself.

And with that, he went to his home, placing his mallet on the holder, as he left to rest, for who knew what would happen next, but he knew, he would give it all he's got.

END OF STORY.
