Episode 57: Hail to the Queen
Planet Popstar has gotten a threat, only no one knows it yet. "Is that the planet we're targeting?" A voice asked.
"It certainly is!" Another voice said.
"Oh, Taranza, I haven't had this fun in such a long time!" A voice said as she laughed evilly.
"Just pretend that we're a visitor," Taranza said.
"And then take over Planet Popstar," A voice said.
"You and I will rule this universe!" Taranza said.
"I, Queen Sectonia, never failed, and I will not fail on this one either!" Queen Sectonia said as she stood up from her throne in her ship.

"Ahh, just another peaceful day in Dreamland," Escargoon said as he dusted Dedede's room. "I don't know why, but I am in an absolute good mood!"
"Is it because Dedede is not in the castle right now?" Tiff asked as she passed by him.
"AAH! TIFF!" Escargoon jumped as he turned back where Tiff was. "Seriously, don't pull a Meta Knight on me!"
"Hello," Meta Knight said from behind, who was also with Kirby.
"GAHH! META KNIGHT!" Escargoon jumped as he turned back again where Meta Knight was. "Why! Just why! Do you guys have to scare me?!"
"What happened to Dedede? Where is he?" Tiff asked.
"Why do you wanna know? You don't even like him!" Escargoon said.
"He might be... up to something," Meta Knight said.
"He said that the castle was too stuffy for him, and he needed some alone time," Escargoon said as he crossed his arms looked away from Tiff and Meta Knight.
Dedede was taking a stroll in Cappytown by himself. He felt that the castle was too stuffy for him so he left the castle, without dragging Escargoon with him.
When he mindlessly entered the forest, he saw a flash in the sky. "Hm? Is dat a shootin' star?!" Dedede asked himself. The flashing figure came closer. "It is a shootin' star! Ima make a wish!" He closed his eyes, folded his hands, and prayed: "Dear shootin' star! I want me a beautiful, obedient, sexy queen!" Right when he finished making his wish, the flashing figure crashed against the ground...
......
............
........................ where Dedede was standing.
The large crash created a large dust wind that was visible and audible from the castle.
"What is that dust wind?!" Escargoon asked as he ran to the balcony where he was able to see it clearly.
"That must be Dedede!" Tiff said as she ran out to the balcony after Escargoon. "I knew he was up to something!"
"Oh... why does he always have to cause trouble??" Escargoon said as he ran out to get his car. Tiff followed right after him to hop on the passenger seat.
"Let's go, Kirby," Meta Knight said gently since the two left.
"Poyo!" Kirby replied excitedly.
Meta Knight carried Kirby by his hands and flew across the sky where the dust wind was. Of course, they were able to arrive before Tiff and Escargoon arrived. When Meta Knight and Kirby landed near the dust wind, they saw Dedede crawling out of the floating fog of dust, coughing violently which made small clouds of dust exit out of his mouth, and his clothes and face were covered with dusty stains.
"Looks like you didn't plot anything this time, your majesty," Meta Knight said to him.
"Poyo?" Kirby said in confusion.
"Meta Knight... whachu doin' here?" Dedede asked weakly. Just then, the tire screeched behind Kirby and Meta Knight. Escargoon and Tiff hopped out of the car and ran closer to Dedede.
"What happened to you, sire?" Escargoon asked.
"Don't tell me you were trying to blow up Cappy Town but ended up blowing up yourself," Tiff said.
"Hey! I'm not that evil, girly!" Dedede angrily stood up and screamed in front of her face.
"I guess you're not that hurt," Tiff said, avoiding his eye contact by turning her face the other way and her hands covering her vision of Dedede's face.
"His anger beats his pain," Escargoon explained.
"You shut it, snail bites!" Dedede.bellowed as he turned his face to Escargoon. Escargoon also avoided his eye contact by turning his face and his hands covering his vision of Dedede's face.
Meanwhile, Meta Knight carefully approached the dust fog with Kirby behind him, flapped his cape to clear the fog, and identified a small-sized rocket. The door opened with a large hissing sound. Meta Knight took his stance as he grabbed his Galaxia. A figure came out as the door finished opening. The figure had white hair with skin color and a head shaped like marron, and multiple hands floating around it. "Hello," the figure said weakly.
"Who are you?" Meta Knight asked. Even the figure was unfamiliar to him.
"My name is Taranza," Taranza introduced himself. "I was lost in space, and my rocket crashed into an asteroid and now I'm here. And I'm assuming you're the king of this planet?" He asked as he pointed at Dedede.
"Yes, I am! And ya crashed into meh!" Dedede said angrily.
"I am so sorry, your majesty," Taranza said. "I did not mean to hurt you. But can you let me and the queen stay here until we're stable enough to go back?"
"Oh, your majesty, have a heart," Escargoon said before Dedede even rejected.
"I didn't even say anything! Slime jerky!" Dedede screamed at him.
"Please, your majesty," Taranza begged with a sad eye.
"Fine! Ya better not cause any chaos!" Dedede said.
"Oh! Thank you, thank you!" Taranza said as he grabbed Dedede's hand and rubbed his cheek on it.
"Hey! Don't do dat!" Dedede screamed as he withdrew his hand, legitimately creeped out.
"Her majesty may have landed somewhere else on this planet," Taranza said. As soon as he finished his sentence, there was a crashing sound... that came from Dedede's castle.
"GAHH! MA CASTLE!!" Dedede shrieked in fear. "ESCARGOON! STEP ON IT!" He demanded as he hopped into the passenger's seat. Escargoon quickly went to the driver's seat and stepped on the gas.
"Let's follow them!" Tiff said as she ran after them. Meta Knight grabbed Kirby's hand and flew towards the castle after them.
When they all reached the castle, they noticed a larger spaceship that wrecked into the castle tower, fortunately for Dedede, it did not crash into the throne room. "Hey! Who dat?! Who crashed into ma castle?!" Dedede angrily ranted.
"Your majesty! It's the queen of our kingdom!" Taranza announced as he ran towards Dedede.
"Ya queen?!" Dedede asked.
"Yes, Queen Sectonia," Taranza said.
"Oh boy, looks like Waddle Dees and I got work to do," Escargoon said as he parked near them.
"You guys are gonna finish them in no time, calm down," Tiff said.
"Be quiet! It's not like you're gonna help!" Escargoon argued.
"Hmm..." Meta Knight said as he landed and covered himself partially with his cape as he has always done.
"Poyo?" Kirby asked as he landed with Meta Knight.
A figure slowly stepped out of the spaceship. "Your majesty," Taranza bowed as the figure stepped out. Escargoon and Tiff bowed after Taranza.
Dedede was too distracted by Sectonia's appearance to bow. Her elegant wings that only flapped once was enough to seduce Dedede less than a second.
"Wow... so pretty..." Dedede breathed.
"Sire, please snap out of it," Escargoon said. "You always react this way when a new woman comes in."
"I can't help it! Ma lady! Ma name is Dede-" Dedede said as he ran towards her with his arms wide open, but then she punched him away with her iron fist, making him fly away out of the balcony, and landing in one of the bushes in his garden. "Did I mention I have a thing for strong women?" Dedede asked, who had the top half of his body buried in bushes and his hand sticking out of the bush to gesture that he's making a point with his index finger.
"Everyone knows their personal space," Queen Sectonia spoke up. "I am thankful for letting me stay, but I would like to have my personal space."
"I apologize, my lady queen," Escargoon said as he bowed.
"Please forgive our immature king," Tiff said.
"Your king is immature," Queen Sectonia said. "Perhaps I can rule this kingdom for you."
"That'd be nice," Tiff answered almost immediately.
"Oh, I am kidding," Queen Sectonia said. "I think I owe someone an apology. Maybe I should bring him back."
"Oh no! We got this, please rest here," Tiff was in much of favor of being respectful in case she decides to become the new ruler of Dreamland. She quickly ran out as she called Kirby and Meta Knight. "Kirby, Meta Knight, I need your help."
"Poyo!" Kirby jumped as he followed after her. Meta Knight silently followed after Kirby.
"I should call the medics," Escargoon said. "Hey, Susie!" He called as he connected.
"How may I help you today, Sir Escargoon?" Susie asked. "And who is that lady with large, beautiful butterfly wings?"
"My name is Queen Sectonia," Queen Sectonia introduced herself. "What about you?"
"My name is Susie," Susie greeted. "I am the saleswoman for King Dedede and Sir Escargoon."
"What do you sell?" Queen Sectonia asked out of curiosity.
"Robots, monsters, medical products, and much more than anyone can think of," Susie answered respectfully.
"I see," Queen Sectonia said. Well, it would not be a bad idea to take over that company also, she thought evilly as she imagined taking over Haltmann's Works Company. "Anyways, sorry for interrupting. Back to business."
"Oh, right," Susie said as she turned to Escargoon. "Did you need anything?"
"I think we need some serious medics for serious injuries," Escargoon answered. "His majesty for flown away."
"I'm sorry, I punched him," Queen Sectonia confessed. "I did not mean to hit him hard, I just wanted him to not invade my personal space."
Of course, his majesty would do that, Susie thought. "Bring him here, and we'll get him treated right away. You know how the transporter works, right?"
"Of course, Susie," Escargoon said. "Never forgot it!"
"Well, let's just wait until he gets here then," Susie said.
"Why don't you disconnect first?" Escargoon suggested. "Tiff is going to be here with Kirby and Meta Knight."
"Wise choice," Susie said as she disconnected.
"May I excuse myself with my servant for a bit?" Queen Sectonia asked.
"Of course, your majesty," Escargoon said. "Go on."
"Great. We'll be right back," Queen Sectonia said as she turned towards the exit and gestured Taranza to come along with her.
When they went to the quiet place, they evilly snickered and discussed their plans to take over the planet AND the company as well.
"I think we hit a jackpot!" Taranza said. "A planet to make people obey us, and a company that can destroy anyone who gets in our way!"
"Of course, we'll be invincible of them all!" Queen Sectonia. "I will soon rule the universe, and it will be all mine!"
********
"We... brought him... here..." Tiff said as she grunted as she pulled Dedede by his foot. Kirby and Meta Knight were pushing him on his head. Tiff plopped down and breathed heavily to catch up on her breath after thirty minutes of dragging the obese penguin up the castle.
"Nice work!" Escargoon said. "Now why don't you guys go back to your rooms and rest?"
"Where is Queen Sectonia?" Tiff asked.
"She said she wanted to discuss something with her servant," Escargoon said.
"I don't have a good sense about her..." Meta Knight spoke gently as his eyes turned red.
"What are you talking about?" Escargoon asked. "She seems perfect to me!"
"Yeah, she can replace Dedede any time!" Tiff said.
"Anyways, why don't you guys go back to your rooms and rest?" Escargoon suggested. "I'll take care of the rest here."
"You're acting really weird lately," Tiff said, but then she realized as she walked out along with Meta Knight and Kirby, "Actually, you're weird all the time. I don't understand your actions but you better not do anything crazy if you don't want to end up like how you do all the time."
"Like what?" Escargoon asked.
Tiff listed almost immediately, "Your stuff breaking all the time even though you paid for it, you get beaten up even though you don't deserve it, should I list more?"
********
"Look, even those mere, naive peep squeaks want me to be their queen," Queen Sectonia whispered to Taranza.
"So should we start the attack tomorrow?" Taranza asked.
"Of course, and I need to track that company down so that I can invade that company tomorrow," Sectonia said. "And after we take over that company and this planet, I shall become the queen of the universe!"
Taranza agreed and said, "Yeah! And when you become a queen, may I-"
"Taranza, we made this clear," Queen Sectonia cut her off with an irritated frown across her face. "I am not going to date you, not be in a relationship with you, and forget about marrying me! I told you, I have no feelings towards you!" Her frown then turned into a warm smile and said, "I can still let you have everything you want after I take over the universe. I can promise you that. Now come along."
"Okay..." Taranza said as he watched her leave first, then said to him under his breath, "She'll never understand how much I love her..."
********
"Hello, I'm back," Queen Sectonia said as she went back to the throne room.
"Welcome back, your majesty," Escargoon said as he bowed. "I was just about to send him to the transporter." He pointed at Dedede.
"Allow me to give him my apology before sending him," Queen Sectonia said. She gently stamped her lips again his cheek. To Escargoon, it looked like a mere apology, but her real intention was to give him a ring so that she can spread her dust everywhere he goes so that she can track down anywhere that has her floral dust when she is outside of the space.
"That was sweet," Escargoon said. "But the problem is, I... gotta... carry... him..." He groaned as he dragged him to the base of the transporter.
"I can carry him for you," Queen Sectonia said as she lifted him up without any trouble, placed him gently on the base of the transporter, and then Escargoon pressed the button to transport him to Susie so that her medics team can heal him.
Now it's a matter of time I take over this world! Queen Sectonia thought with an evil grin across her face.
