[ P - Pre-Teen ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------Chapter 5: Prelude to Arms

Deeper inside the massive Halberd a conference was taking place between Metaknights key officers. In attendance were Gim, Jet, Metaknight, Waddle Dee, Meta Chain, Meta Axe and Captain Falcon

Waddle Dee: .. We should make the ship a giant fish

Captain Falcon: .. Dee we already built the ship, we're on it remember?

Waddle Dee: We are??? You abducted me???

Captain Falcon: No you idiot your part of the crew..

Metaknight: Dee Im not even going to ask... now then.. I hearby call the meeting to order, first issue, status of the ship

Gim: The Reactor defense grid is active, as well our systems are running at 100%, and the ship is more then ready for an attack of anything kirby can throw at us.

Commander Biospark: The ships crew know the security procedures well, if he actually gets onboard he wont get far

Jet: Our engines are at 45% of maximum power...

Metaknight: Why aren't they at full Jet?

Jet: Because we didn't want to push them...

Captain Falcon: The Halberd can take it jet, push them to full!!

Jet: But if we over run them too....

Metaknight: We dont have time to debate this, just do it

Jet: .... yes sir

Jet presses a few buttons on the terminal embedded in the table in front of him. A display of the halberd appears as numbers around the engines rise up to 100%

Metaknight: Next issue.. stopping kirby.. Meta Axe, Meta Chain

Meta Axe/Chain: Yes Sir?

Metaknight: You are hearby put in charge of stopping Kirby at all costs, see to it he does not get on board

Both: Yes Sir!

Meta Chain and Meta Axe stand and walk to the door. With a mechanical click the doors to the room slide open, and the two walk out as the doors close again.

Metaknight: Now does anyone have any issues to bring up?

Waddle Dee: Yeah, the vending machine in the mess hall won't take crumpled dollars...

Metaknight: .... let me rephrase that.. does anyone have any SERIOUS issues to bring up?

Gim: I have one... the twin cannons rate of fire is down by 46 percent... we've pushed it too hard.

Metaknight: .....

Captain Falcon: Too hard?? We've used it twice!! HOW DO YOU CALL THAT HARD!!

Metaknight: Alright, that isnt too serious..

Captain Falcon: What is the status of the anti gravity plants?

Gim: They are operating at 50% capacity, its all we need right now

Metaknight: Very well, it would seem that our ship is working as planned.

Metaknight stands, his metallic mask glimmering in the flourescent ceiling light above.

Metaknight: .. I would like to thank you all for your excellent service, our dream is near fufillment and from the fallen dreamland, we will build our utopia!

All: Long live Emporer Metaknight!!



In the meantime, Kirby, the poppy bros, King Dedede, Simon and Waddle Doo had made their way
back to Mt Dedede, and were walking the wispy woods at the base, not far from dynablades nest.

Kirby: .. this is what.. the fourth time i've been here..

While Kirby pondered his past adventures, Simon Mirror and Dedede pondered their next move.

Simon Mirror: According to my theroy, there should be some form of wire path that runs along the wings to control the flaps. If we disable the flaps the wing is useless

King Dedede: Disable?? I wanna blow it up!!!

Their conversations were cut short by a small ship landing in front of thing, it was shaped like an eagle. Its long talons outstretched and grabbed the ground, leaving long paths in the dirt behind them. Its beak opened, revealing Meta Chain standing triumphantly inside

Meta Chain: In the name of Metaknight! you shall NOT pass!

They all just sort of stare at him

Meta Axe: I told you that was too corny, you completely ruined the emphasis, you should have said...

Meta Chain: Oh will you shut up

King Dedede for once was actually going to do something useful for a change, he raised his massive mallet up to the sky

King Dedede: FOUR!!

With that he swung his mallet at Meta Axe, when the smoke cleared Meta Axe found himself blown back to the cockpit of the ship, ontop of Meta Chain, a large metal dent remained in the frame of the beak

Meta Chain: Get off me!!

Meta Axe attempted to get up, kicking his feet wildly in anger. He managed to hit the thruster lever, causing the ship to careen off into the wild blue yonder, and leaving the path again clear.

Kirby: Nice going Dedede

King Dedede: Bout time i get my moment!

With that they pressed on towards Mt Dedede. Their path took them up and over mountain terrain, until they finally came to Dynablades nest, which had broken the record for the worlds biggest pile of straw and sticks..

Kirby: Dynablade.. I need a small favor..

The massive multi colored hawk like creature stuck its head out of its nest. Its round eyes fixed in on kirby.. then on Dedede as it bent down and opened its beak...

Simon: Please remove his highness from your beak Dynablade, we are working with kirby

With that Dynablade released its beak from king dedede, who was now covered in saliva. The group explained the situation to Dynablade, who of course could only show signs of its understanding by nodding, making bird noises and the occaisional attempt to turn king Dedede into bird feed. Within minutes they were on Dynablades back and airborne

King Dedede: Tell this bird brain to pick up my Motorcycle, I have a plan

Simon put a hand over his face with a look that said "oh thats wonderful.. HE has a plan.. how much bad luck can one group take?"

Dynablade swooped down, grabbed the motorcycle in its massive talons and pulled back up.

Kirby: To the Halberd!

Simon: Erm.. yes.. to the halberd!

Waddle Doo: Lets bring that thing down!!

King Dedede was too busy getting ready to smack kirby over the head with his mallet to say a catch phrase

Simon: Dont you dare

Dynablade and company headed off into the sunset, where the ominous shadow of the halberd filled the sky



Back onboard the Halberds bridge, Alarm sirens were once again going off. Captain Falcon grabbed microphone and set it to ship wide broadcast

Captain Falcon: Attention all hands, Kirby is on approach, bearing 149 mark 6, code red, man your battle stations! All stations report in every 5 minutes, ready the twin cannon

Metaknight: So it finally comes down to this...

Metaknight stared from his perch on the bridge out the glass windows as the shadow of Dynablade loomed ever closer to his magnificant creation. Waddle Dee suddenly grabbed the microphone from Captain Falcon

Waddle Dee: Attention all hands, ATTENTION ALL HANDS!! has anyone seen my umbrella!!

Captain Falcon promptly grabbed it back and smacked Dee over the head with it.

Captain Falcon: This is no time for that you idiot

Jet took the steering wheel in one hand, the altitude control lever in the other, and began manually piloting the ship

In the main engineering core, people were taking over consoles and grabbing energy rifles from containers stashed under the floor plating to the distinct neon glow of the ships gigantic reactor core, a massive spiral of rainbow colored energy which focused into a large gem that rotated with the help of wheelie powered generators. A handful of operators were at the main computer terminals on the second level, typing commands into a beeping input interface as a general systems readout of the Halberd changed in front of them

Operator 1: Primary defense grid operational

Operator 2: Gyro balance systems to 100%

Operator 3: Emergancy doors in place, ship wide lock down in effect

Operator 4: Combo Cannon to 100% power, divert power from secondary artillery

Gim was discussing this turn of events with his second in command

Gim: Shes been a good girl so far.. but I'm not sure I trust her combat skills just yet, the captain is too harsh on her

Second Engineer: Don't worry sir, you've thought of every possible situation and problem

Gim: .. no.. actually I left one out... officer stupidity...



With that both sides were prepared for the conflict that lie ahead, on one side, the forces of Metaknight and his Halberd, on the other, Kirby, Waddle Doo, Simon, the poppy brothers and... King Dedede drop the mallet

King Dedede (Behind Narrator): hehehe, sorry, can't blame a guy for trying can you

Well.. no i suppose you can't

King Dedede: Good!

With that king dedede hits the narrator over the head.. hey wait... thats me!!!
(Narrator promptly falls to floor)


Like it, Hate it, please review!
And for the 40 billionth time in recorded history NO i do not own these chars or the Halberd... King Dedede if you smack me with that mallet one more time im going to hurt you! Aww now look what you made me do!

Cya next time folks!
