Episode 15: Warp Star Upgrade!

In the middle of the night, meteor like thing flew into Kabu, landed on the Warp Star. The Warp Star started to evolve as it became bigger, the outer edge layer got separated from the star, forming a inner star and an outer star. Kabu felt the strength of the Warp Star and decided to tell Kirby, Tiff, and Meta Knight when the morning comes. 

Kabu sent the message to Meta Knight about the Warp Star through psychic, "Meta Knight... you must come... with Tiff and Kirby... the Warp Star... it has changed... but in a good way... I will see you..." 

Meta Knight then informed Tiff and Kirby to visit Kabu. Since Kirby stayed at a castle, he was able to inform them both. "Tiff. Kirby. Kabu has sent me a message about the Warp Star. We must go see."

"Is it bad?" Tiff asked.

"No, he said it is good," Meta Knight said. "We must go see."

"Poyo," Kirby agreed.

They went to Kabu to talk about the Warp Star. "You have came," Kabu said.

"So what's with the new Warp Star?" Tiff asked.

"There is an inner and outer star," Kabu explained. "It can be separated into two stars. However, Tiff must still call the Warp Star in order to activate. Kirby is still yet to young to call his own Warp Star. The charging system is different now."

"I see." Tiff went inside Kabu to look at the star. Previously, the Warp Star was placed flat on the surface, but now, the Warp Star was floating around with inner star floating still and the outer star circulating around it as if it was an electron for the inner star. "It doesn't look that comfortable to ride on. The outer star is just floating around it, and the inner star is a little smaller, and a little bloated."

"Poyo," Kirby said.

"I still do not know the other function of the new Warp Star," Kabu said.

"Let's give it a try," Meta Knight said.

Kirby, Tiff, and Meta Knight went somewhere a little far from Kabu to test the new Warp Star.

"Are you ready, Kirby?" Tiff asked.

"Poyo," Kirby replied.

"Kabu, send the Warp Star!" Tiff called.

"Warp Star!" Kabu said as he sent the Warp Star. 

The Warp Star came to Kirby. Kirby hopped on it and started to fly.

"It doesn't look that different," Tiff said.

"Maybe it will show its power when Kirby is fighting a monster," Meta Knight said. 

"Kirby, why don't you fly around with it for a while?" Tiff said. "You should get used to flying on a different shape."

"Poyo," Kirby said. So he turned his Warp Star towards Cappy Town.

Be safe, Kirby... Tiff and Meta Knight thought, both with same yet different thoughts reasons in their mind.

"Yo! Escargoon!" Dedede yelled. "Take me for a drive! I wanna take some fresh air!"

"Yes, your majesty," Escargoon said without any expression. They both got in the car and Escargoon started to drive. At this time, driving felt like a chore to Escargoon. He let out a deep sigh as he stepped on the pedals. He saw mayor and his wife pass by as they drove. They had smiles on their faces and laughter that echoed out from their car. They seem very happy, Escargoon thought as he passes by them. 

"Yo, Escargoon! Stop by that field! I gotta walk around!" Dedede demanded.

I really wish I can drive freely, Escargoon thought. "Yes, your majesty," Escargoon parked somewhere at the edge of the plain field. Dedede got off the car and stretched his back.

"Payaya-ii-ii-ii!" Kirby cheered as he flew right past Dedede and Escargoon. He was standing very still on the inner Warp Star as the outer Warp Star surrounded Kirby and the inner Warp Star. 

"Hey! His star looks different!" Dedede said as Kirby passed by him fast.

"I wish I had something to ride that freely," Escargoon said desperately as he watched Kirby fly by. 

"Yo, Escargoon! Bring me something to drink!" Dedede ordered.

"There is nothing to drink, sire," Escargoon said.

"WHAT?!" Dedede screamed angrily. "Why are you so unprepared?"

"But, sire, you never asked for a drink before while going out for a fresh air," Escargoon said.

"Don-chu come up with excuses!" Dedede said. "Get me back to the castle! I want some tea!" He said as he got in the car. 

Without answering, he drove back to the castle. He saw kids happily playing and laughing. Escargoon let out a deep sigh. If I asked his majesty for a day off, he will smash me with his mallet! I do like working for him, but sometimes, it feels like very boring chore. 

"Is there a problem, slug bug?" Dedede asked, examining his facial expression.

"No, nothing's wrong, sire," Escargoon replied with a bland tone and a same bored facial expression full of complaints ready to be bursted out. But Escargoon kept still. He saw other cappies working happily, he wanted to work happily too.

Once he reached the castle, Dedede hopped out of the car and ordered, "Now fetch me some tea!"

"Yes sire," Escargoon said. 

He grabbed a teapot and a teacup and brought it to Dedede. "Too hot!" He cooled it down for a bit. "Too cold!" He heated it again. "Too hot!" He cooled it down again. "Too cold!"

Escargoon heated up like the teapot. "Then why don't you serve it yourself?!" Escargoon threw the teapot at him and stomped away. Dedede wiped off the tea off his face with his hand and shook it off.

Tiff, Tuff, and Meta Knight walked by Escargoon. "Hey Escargoon," Tiff greeted.

"Don't talk to me! Leave me alone!" Escargoon screamed as he stormed off without looking at her.

"Geez, such attitude," Tiff said as she saw him walk away.

"What's wrong with him?" Tuff asked.

"It is probably Dedede," Meta Knight said.

"Yo! Meta Knight!" Dedede called. "Get me some tea! I know you're there!"

"Good bye," Meta Knight whispered and vanished.

"Meta Knight! You there?" Dedede peeked over the hallway. "Yo! Waddle Dees!" Dedede screamed. "I want me some tea!"

Waddle Dees rolled the cart with teapot and teacup to Dedede. Although the temperature of the tea didn't satisfy him, he was too tired to order anyone around anymore. He didn't expect much from Waddle Dees anyways.

********

Escargoon walked inside the castle, still pissed off. "He won't give a time to relax!" Escargoon said as he stomped around.

"Payaya-ii-ii-ii!" Kirby cheered as he flew around the castle.

Escargoon sighed. "Only if I get chance to ride something that freely... wait a minute, what if Kirby does allow me to ride on it with him?" As Kirby flew by him again, Escargoon called, "Hey, Kirby! Mind if you let me ride it with you?"

"Poyo!" Kirby stopped by so that Escargoon can hop on it.

"Okay, but take it sl-OOOOOOOOOOWWW!" Kirby flew off before Escargoon finished his sentence. He held onto Kirby tightly so that he wouldn't fall. While screaming, he was also amazed by the height he was flying in. He was able to see everything around the castle.

"Payaya-ii-ii-ii!" "Whoooooo!" Kirby and Escargoon both cheered as they flee around the castle.

"Is that Escargoon on a Warp Star with Kirby?" Tiff asked.

"I'm pretty sure it is, but why?" Tuff asked.

Meta Knight didn't say a word.

"Goofing around during a job, eh?!" Dedede said as he saw Escargoon pass by. "He's having fun, with Kirby! That saint shell!" Out of rage and jealousy, he rushed into the throne room to contact suSusie.

"Well, your majesty," Susie said. "What can I do for you today?"

"I want me a monster stronger than that Esper!" Dedede said.

"Hmm..." Susie said. "I might have something to give..."

"Well, whachu waitin' fo'?" Dedede asked.

"I'm afraid I have to tell you, this one is extremely dangerous to handle," Susie said. "You may also get infected just by touching its acid."

"Send it over!" Dedede said.

"Well then, since you're that reckless, I'll send you the antidote also," Susie said.

"Don't you underestimate me!" Dedede said.

"I'm not underestimating you, sire," Susie said. "I'm trying to warn you. Even President Haltmann had to wear ultra anti-acid gloves to handle this monster."

"Send that to me now or I'll never order any more monsters from you again!" Dedede said.

"Yes, your majesty," Susie let out a sigh full of frustration. She sent over the monster, bottles of antidote, and the same glove that President Haltmann used to handle the monster. The cyan and blue blob came through the transporter. "Say hello to Venogoo. Don't forget to put the gloves on sire," Susie said.

Dedede obeyed this time, for once, and held Venogoo. "You go get Kirby. Understand?!" Venegoo nodded and went to get Kirby.

"All right, Kirby, you can put me down now!" Escargoon said. Kirby landed so that Escargoon can jump down to the ground. "Thanks, Kirby. That was really fun!"

"Poyo!" Kirby replied.

"Escargoon?" Tiff walked up to him.

"Oh! It's not what it looks like! I wasn't trying to take his star! I promise!" Escargoon said.

"We know, but why did you get on there?" Tuff asked.

"I was just frustrated by his majesty," Escargoon said. "I need some break time too, you know."

"Why don't you get another job?" Tiff asked. "I mean, you always seem to be annoyed with the job."

"I don't know," Escargoon said. "Something's just telling me to not quit this job."

Meta Knight sensed something dangerous. He looked back to see what it was. A mysterious cyan and blue goo was walking towards them. "Tiff! Tuff! Kirby! Sir Escargoon! Look out! Get away from that monster as far as you can!"

"What is that thing?" Tiff asked as she slowly backed away.

"I do not know, but it seems very dangerous," Meta Knight said. Venogoo let out a purple bubble. It didn't go far, but as soon as it popped, the acid landed on the grass and killed it immediately, along with small bugs that were on the spot that acid landed.

"Oh my..." Tiff said as she watched the acid killed the grass, hiding behind the poles.

"It looks very dangerous to go near," Tuff said, hiding behind Tiff.

"I don't want to end my life here!" Escargoon shivered, hiding behind Tuff.

Venogoo blew out another bubbles. Kirby bravely went up to it to inhale it. "Kirby! No!" Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon said. Instead of being intoxicated, Kirby transformed into poison Kirby.

"I never knew he can transform after sucking those bubbles," Tiff said.

"He is now poison Kirby!" Meta Knight said.

Kirby hopped on the Warp Star and flew around Venogoo, shooting his own toxic bubbles. Angry by Kirby's taunt, Venogoo decided to take it to the next level. He shot the stream of poison to Kirby. The outer Warp Star spun violently and blocked the attack. And then the Warp Star quickly glided towards Venogoo and struck him. He threw two toxic swamp bombs to Venogoo. The two swamps formed, making Venogoo writhe in pain. Then it melted away as the poison swamps also vanished along with Venogoo. 

"Yeah! You did it, Kirby!" Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon cheered.

"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby cheered as he sent the Warp Star away.

"Kirby, you have learned to use the new Warp Star so fast," Meta Knight said as his eyes turned blue. "I cannot wait to see your future actions against other enemies. As you improve more, you will be able to stop Haltmann from taking over the universe."

********

"Yo, Escargoon! Go get me some dinner!" Dedede demanded.

"Yes, sire~" Escargoon said excitedly. "Here you go, sire." He handed the tray of wonderfully cooked steak, lobsters, and mashed potatoes.

"You seem to be in a better mood," Dedede said as he sliced his steak.

"Do you need anything else sire?" Escargoon asked.

"It's fine," Dedede as he stuck a piece of steak into his mouth.

"Just call me anytime you need me," Escargoon skipped out of his dining room.

"You must feel much better now, Escargoon," Tiff said to Escargoon as he stepped out the dining room.

"It's all thanks to Kirby," Escargoon said.

"Poyo!" Kirby said happily. 

A/N: Yeah, the function of the 3D Warp Star in the fanfiction is different from the actual games, but at least it's cool right? RIGHT?! Admit it, it's cool! :P
