A/N: WARNING!! This episode MAY contain the famous "Squid Game" spoilers. If you don't want to be spoiled, please be noted!!  

I'm Korean, so it's appropriate for me to do a "Squid Game" parody. I planned this episode as soon as it came out, I was just busy trying to make other episodes possible.

Also, this made me laugh my butt off:

Let this person think this way lmao. They aren't humans and this person is stressing out that I ship two non-human characters. At least my fanfic is more popular than their fanfic :P My first episode has more reads than his Kirby fanfic. 

By the way, there is no such thing as bad publicity! ;) 

The was a television series called "Octopus Game" from a different channel that everyone fell in love with and could not stop watching. It was so good that even Tiff was binge-watching it. 

"Ah-ha!" Keyhole, the main character of the show, cheered proudly as he held up the perfectly cut umbrella-shaped dalgona. 

"Player 456, success," a woman's voice came through the speaker. "Time is up. If you did not finish, you are all out." 

"Aww..." all the other contestants groaned. 

"Now that I passed, I have more chance of winning that money and getting back to my daughter!" Keyhole said to himself under his breath as he exited the game room. The episode ended after that line.   

"Wow, this series is really good!" Tiff said. 

"You FINALLY like something," Tuff said, who was watching it with her.

"Excuse you," Tiff said sassily as she held her hand up to Tuff's face. "I DID  enjoy Pappy Pottey and The Game of Hunger."

"True," Tuff said. "Oh well, this episode is over now. Come on! Lemme play my video game!!" Tuff said. 

"All right, all right!" Tiff said as she excused herself from the television. She watched Tuff set up his console, camera, monitor, and headset to start his live video. "Hey, there! TuffStuff here!!" Tuff said as he grabbed his controller. "Today, as I promised in the last video..."

Tiff rolled her eyes and shook her head as she headed into her own room. As she sat in her room, she tapped her pen on the desk. "I need to write a good story like that so that it becomes really famous..." Tiff said to herself. "Octopus Game is really fun... I wish I can be part of it."

...They said be careful about what you wish for...

Kine the fish was swimming near Cappy Town peacefully until he realized that the swarm of fish was swimming away from a certain direction. "Huh? What is going on here?" Kine asked himself as the swarm of fish was swimming away as fast as they can. 

"Swim away!!" the fish screamed in fear. 

"Swim away from what...?" Kine asked himself as the fish passed by them. He then looked at the direction where the swarm of fish was swimming away. A large, round silhouette was crawling towards him. It had eight tentacles and Kine immediately knew what it was. 

"How many Octagon does Kirby has to destroy in order for it to stop coming back to us????" Kine asked himself as he hid from Octagon... or something that shaped like Octagon. "Wait a minute... that is not Octagon... what is that...?" 

********

Everyone in Cappy Town was not aware of Octagon approaching. The cappies were having a peaceful day. As everyone knows, the only place that is not peaceful is the castle, especially with the physical rivalry that started between Tiff and Susie. 

Escargoon was a spy of what Tiff would say behind Susie's back, but most of the time, Escargoon is in favor of Susie, so he would make up lies. "Tiff said your doctorate degree doesn't mean anything!" Escargoon said.

"What??!!" Susie asked in rage. "I got full scholarships for all those years for being a genius!!" 

"She said that if Tiff had as much opportunity as you did," Escargoon continued. "She would be a valedictorian and would crush you down!"

"That does it!" Susie said. "I'm going over there right now!"

"She also said no one is a match against Kirby!" Escargoon added. "With everyone you used to fight against, they will still not have a chance against Kirby!"

"All right, you're so dead," Susie said as she cracked her knuckles. "You and that little pink fluff!" She pressed the button on her desk and demanded, "Bring me Galacta Knight, Dark Meta Knight, Shadow Kirby, Yamikage, and Morpho Knight!! This INSTANT!!" 

"But, Ms. Susie," the worker answered through the phone. "They're still in the process of being healed! Their injuries are..."

"I provided a lot of improvement in advanced medical engineering, and they're still not in the perfect shape???!!" Susie asked. "How are you people handling your jobs??" 

Oh, this is getting delicious! Escargoon thought as he evilly smirked and gently rubbed his hands together. 

"I'm sorry, m'lady, I-" the worker stuttered until Susie cut them off. 

"I don't want any more words from you!" Susie demanded. "Bring them to me IMMEDIATELY!!" 

"Yes, m'lady!" the worker shrieked in fear and hung up. 

Susie sighed deeply in frustration and leaned on her back. "You just wait, sir Escargoon. We'll go through the transported as soon as they arrive."

"Okay~~!!" Escargoon said in his highest tone and Susie hung up. 

"Why did he just-" Susie said to herself. "I mean, I get that he likes me and all, but did he really have to speak in that high tone? People around me are giving me too many things to stress out about, it's so annoying!" Susie complained to herself. 

There was a knock on the door with Haltmann calling her, "Susie, dear?" 

"President Haltmann?" Susie called back. "Please come on in."

"Thank you," Haltmann said with Galacta Knight, Dark Meta Knight, Shadow Kirby, Yamikage, and Morpho Knight entering after him. "Is something wrong? They had to get out of the hospital bed because you demanded them immediately. 

"We just need to show Kirby and that little brat a lesson!" Tiff said as she slammed her fists on her desk.

"Susie dear," Haltmann said smoothly in concern. "Maybe this rivalry is getting a little out of hand. I mean, yeah, you're now caught up on your paperwork and spreadsheets as soon as you got out of your own hospital bed after a fight with her, but I think this is getting bigger than it's supposed to be."

"This won't end unless someone wins, President Haltmann," Susie gritted her teeth. 

"I think the bigger problem is that this is not going to end at all," Haltmann said. 

"I'll make it happen then, shall we?" Susie said. 

"Where is every last bit of this coming from?" Haltmann asked. 

"I planted a spy on them," Susie said. "Thanks to sir Escargoon, I have all the information that I need."

"Sir Escargoon? He seems to do a lot of things for you lately," Haltmann mentioned. 

"Isn't it obvious, President Haltmann?" Susie asked. "He is in love with me." Susie shivered. 

"Ugh," Haltmann shivered after Susie. "You're still okay with that?"

"I'll just have him do things for me until he has enough guts to confess to me," Susie said. 

"I don't know if that is..." Haltmann said before Susie cut him off. 

"Everyone! Get on the transporter, now!!" Susie demanded. 

Susie's charisma made everyone, even Haltmann, stand on the transporter even though they're all known to be brave, powerful, and intimidating warriors. Susie pressed the button so that everyone can go to Dedede's castle. 

How did I end up here...? Haltmann thought as he was transported along with Susie and the other warriors. 

"TIIIIIIIFFFF!!! KIRBYYYYYYY!!!" Susie roared. 

"Wow, that's as loud as his majesty," Escargoon said. Hehe, but she's still cute!

"I knew you'd come one day," Tiff said as she entered the room with Kirby and Meta Knight. 

"Enough talk," Susie said. "Let's fight!"

"As you wish," Meta Knight said as he pulled Galaxia out. 

"Poyo!" Kirby took his stand too. They all charged towards each other, except Haltmann and Escargoon, until a dark smog-like gas surround the castle and entered every room.

"What is going on- oh..." Susie asked herself until she fainted. 

"Hey what is... oh..." Tiff also fainted. 

"Po... yo..." Kirby fainted after her. 

"What... is..." Meta Knight also fainted. 

"Ugh," "Gah," Haltmann and Escargoon fainted after them. 

"ESCARGOON!!" Dedede bellowed. "WHAT IS THIS GAS?? Ugh..." Dedede fainted. 

This smog-like gas was not just surrounding the castle, but it surrounded all the Cappy Town. Needless to say, everyone fainted. The tentacles grabbed everyone and sent them to an unknown island...

********

When everyone woke up, they were in an unknown room full of bunk beds. "Where am I?" "What am I doing here?" "What is going on here?" everyone ad-libbed in confusion. 

"Welcome everyone, to the Octopus Game," a figure shaped as Waddle Dee entered as it was covered with pink cape and face covered with a black mask with a white star-shaped pattern. Other same-shaped creatures and the same articles of clothing entered after them. The only difference is that they all had was the pattern on the mask. Only the main one had star-shaped, the rest had a circle, triangle, or square pattern. 

"You mean that famous tv series everyone is hyped up about?" Susie asked. 

"You watch Octopus Game too??" Tiff asked. 

"Yeah, it's my favorite!!" Susie exclaimed in joy. 

"Oh my gosh, me too!" Tiff screamed in joy. 

They all giggled together until they made grossed-out faces, turned their backs on them, and said, "Hmph!" 

"I am the leader of pink soldiers," the leader of pink soldiers said. 

"Ya look like Kirbay with a huge mask!" Dedede exclaimed. 

"Poyo?" Kirby asked. 

"You all will play a series of games, and whoever survives the whole series of games will receive the prize. There may be more than one winner," the leader of the pink soldiers said. 

"So, exactly like Octopus Game?" Chief Bookem asked.

"This ought to be fun," Mayor Len Blustergas said.

"I predict this game would be enjoyable," Mabel said. 

"I wish I watched the most recent episode," Samo said. 

"Aw, but this is gonna spoil the series for me," Tiff said. 

"Why don't we get numbers on our shirts?" Susie asked. 

"Because the author is going to have a hard time keeping track of all of your numbers," the leader of pink soldiers said. "The author already has trouble keeping track of who still haven't made an appearance yet even though they promised that they will have them make an appearance."

"Ah," Haltmann said understandingly. 

"Aww, I wanted to be number 67," Tiff said. 

"That's the number I wanted," Susie said. 

They glared at each other and said, "Ew!"

"Now, let's go take your pictures and start the first game," the leader of the pink soldiers said. 

Everyone got in line, smiled at the camera, took the pictures, and entered the area that looked like a large plain field. 

"We're definitely playing 'Green Light Red Light'," Tiff said. 

"It's called 'The Rose of Sharon Has Bloomed'," Susie said. 

"I'm just making it easier for the readers," Tiff argued.

"Suuuuuure," Susie said sarcastically. 

"Kirby, listen to me," Tiff said to Kirby. 

"Poyo?" Kirby asked.

"Oh dear, here we go again," Susie groaned. "She gonna be like 'You have be as if you're Keyhole from the actually Octopus game and you're gonna have to win'. Then it'll end up like Kirby winning the game like every other time this type of thing happens."

"I was NOT going to say that!" Tiff roared. 

"Oh, yeah? Then what WERE you gonna say?" Susie asked. 

"Just... do what I do and try to do your very best to survive," Tiff said. 

"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby just wanted to have fun. 

Even if Tiff is not going to help Kirby, Meta Knight thought. I am going to help Kirby no matter what it takes... it seems like Tiff wants to win this game also... but I'm sure it will be fine because this game was organized by neither Dedede nor Haltmann Works Company...

"You all know how to play a game like 'Green Light Red Light'," the leader of the pink soldiers said. "Now, start!" 

The large robot in the front chanted, "Mugunghwa ggotchi pieotseubnida!"

A few of them still moved. The large tentacle emerged into the room from the top opening and slapped the ones that moved. The contestants that were disqualified disappeared after the tentacle slapped them. After they were slapped by the tentacle, they were sucked into the suction cup and were sent out of the room as their screams were muffled inside of the suction cup. 

"GAHH!!" some cappies began to scream and panic after they disappeared. Those who did not watch the TV series ran to the room as they panicked but after the robot scanned their movement, the tentacle emerged into the room again and slapped them, and absorbed them into its suction cups. 

Not knowing what happened to the cappies who disappeared, Tiff started to panic inside. She wanted to win, but now, she decided to protect Kirby and try to win with him.  

When the robot turned around to chant again, Tiff went to Kirby to grab him, but Meta Knight has already done that. "Focus on the game," Meta Knight said to Tiff as he lifted Kirby into the air. 

"Thank you," Tiff whispered. The robot stopped the chant and turned. Nobody moved. 

Susie quickly went behind Tiff as the robot started chanting again. 

"You'd better not do anything crazy," Tiff said. "Or I'm taking you with me."

Susie evilly chuckled. 

The robot chanted, the players advanced forward, and then stopped when the robot turned back. A few other cappies were disqualified. 

"What are you planning?" Tiff asked. 

"I don't know, what do you want me to do to you?" Susie asked. 

"You'd better not, you-"

"You what?" Susie asked. "Do you want to end it here?" Susie asked as she grabbed Tiff's ponytail. 

When the robot started to chant again, Susie pulled Tiff's ponytail and advanced forward, but Tiff tripped her and landed on her face. Thankfully, Susie wasn't moving when the robot turned around, but her face was in so much pain. 

They were both on the ground when the robot started chanting again. They quickly sprinted to the finish line, leaped forward before the robot turned around. 

So far, Kirby, Meta Knight, Tiff, Tuff, Iroo, Honey, Spikehead, Dedede, Escargoon, Susie, Haltmann, Galacta Knight, Dark Meta Knight, Shadow Kirby, Yamikage, and Morpho Knight survived.
