"Alrighty, you two knuckleheads!" Dedede told Kawasaki and Tedhaun, "I suppose you've never been here before, so be VERY careful. Got it?"

Kawasaki and Tedhaun shook their heads. They followed Dedede right in the entrance. The trio couldn't believe their eyes, as the entire place was still in operation, yet Dedede was sure he destroyed it before.

Kawasaki noticed something... strange.
 
"Hey, sire," he said, "what are those weird thingies doing on those conveyor belts?" Kawasaki pointed to what looked like a gun.

"No idea, but I'm sure we'll find out-"

Suddenly, a enemy attacked! It was a Cappy, but something was off...

"Oh, King!" said the little Cappy, "I was just... uh... roleplaying! Yeah, roleplaying."

"I dunno how a helmet is so important to roleplay..." Dedede replied.

The Cappy started to sweat.

"...eh, it's nice though. Now let us pass by, we gotta find Magalor."

The sweat stopped.

"Magalor? I think I saw him near those piles of scrap Shotzos!"

"Alrighty, thanks mushy!" Kawasaki interupted.

"Don't call me that..." Cappy replied as he left with his face covered.

Behind the piles was a room, with 10 doors. 7 marked with one of the letters from Magalor's name, and the last three with stars. 

"Tedhaun, you can go through, right? Check which one is the safest!" Dedede commanded.

"Already on it, but it seems all of them have the same thing: a bunch of gears."

"Darn it!"

"Well King," Kawasaki started, "what if we could MELT the gears?"

"It's metal, Kawasaki, It wouldn't work," Dedede said.

"With the right heat, it will!" Taking a dish of curry out of his apron, he shoved the curry in Tedhaun's mouth, opened the doors, and put him on Dedede's hammer.

"Quick! Swing the hammer around!" Kawasaki shouted.

"Fine, but it won't work." Dedede started swinging the hammer, and Tedhaun, sticking to the hammer, started blowing out fire.

"Hot, Hot, HOT!" The fire started to turn into a ghost-like fire, and immediately melted the gears. Dedede started to stop as Kawasaki got Tedhaun some cold milk.

"Wh- how did you-"

"Ghost Peppers! Best way to start a spice fire!" Kawasaki said as he got Tedhaun to drink the milk. "Now, which one could be where Magalor is..."

"We'll have to sp- SPLIT up..." Tedhaun said as he emptied the milk.

"Alright. I'll check the stars, Kawasaki checks the vowels, and Tedhaun with the rest." Dedede nodded at Kawasaki and Tedhaun, and they both nodded back. Just when the three started checking their doors, they heard of a scream.

"Wonder what the heck that was..." Tedhaun exclaimed.

The ghost looked around where he was in, and it was unusual. A room full of weird metal machines, all marked with numbers. There was a note on one of them. Backups. Tedhaun used his power again to see if there was anything inside of them, but they were hollow.

"Wonder what it could mean..."

Tedhaun kept exploring the room, finding new stuff every minute. Papers, files, and a bunch of other weird stuff.

Meanwhile with Dedede, he immediantely found Magalor, tied up and glued to the floor, with Metal General. Kawasaki was also quickly tied up from his room, and a portal was being made on some kind of device. 

"ᔕO... IT ᗩᑭᑭEᗩᖇᔕ YOᑌ ᖴOᑌᑎᗪ OᑌT ᗩᗷOᑌT TᕼE ᔕEᑕᖇET. ᗷᖇᗩᐯO." Metal General clapped slowly.

"What the heck are you doing?! You have my friends!" Dedede angrily said.

Magalor panically shook in head.

"Oᕼ, ᑎOTᕼIᑎG. I'ᐯE ᗷEEᑎ ᗪOIᑎG ᗩ ᒪOT EᐯEᖇ ᔕIᑎᑕE YOᑌ ᗪEᔕTOᖇYEᗪ ᗰE. I'ᐯE ᗷEEᑎ... ᖇEᔕEᗩᖇᑕᕼIᑎG Oᑎ ᔕOᗰE ᔕTᑌᖴᖴ." He typed something on the device, and threw Kawasaki into the portal that appeared. It quickly closed. 

"Tedhaun... uh, could really use your help..."

"ᑎO YOᑌ ᗪOᑎ'T!" Metal General quickly attack Dedede with his cyber-katana, and it missed. Dedede quickly did a Hammer Swing, and hit Metal General two times. The robot quickly shot missles from the other side of the room, four actually hitting Dedede.

"Yeah, that's right!" Magalor cheered, "Beat up that robot!"

Metal General noticed this cheering and began shooting a dozen electric darts at Magalor. Dedede quickly pulled out a Hammer Flip, flinging the darts back at Metal General, all 12 hitting bulls-eye on him.

"ᑎIᑕE TᖇY," Metal General said as he started to steam and short circuit, "ᗷᑌT ᑕᗩᑎ YOᑌ ᕼᗩᑎᗪᒪE TᕼIᔕ?" He quickly shot a giant rocket upwards, with his arm still on it, and then turned the rocket back to the ground. Before it even hit, Dedede did a Ultra Giant Swing, destroying the rocket without an explosion. As a last resort, Metal General did a dive bomb, but not before the king destroyed the robot with a mighty swing!

The robot layed there, about to power off forever.

"ᖻᓍᑘ ᘻᗩᖻ ᓍᖴ ᘺᓍᘉ ᖶᕼᓰS ᗷᗩᖶᖶᒪᘿ, ᕵᘿᘉᘜᑘᓰᘉ, ᗷᑘᖶ ᖻᓍᑘ'ᒪᒪ ᘉᘿᐺᘿᖇ ᘺᓰᘉ ᓍᑘᖇ ᘺᗩᖇ..." It turned off.

"Huh? What's all this noise?" Tedhaun said as he came in, "Where's Kawasaki?"

"No time. Magalor," Dedede commanded, "are you able to communicate with Meta Knight and Bandana Dee while Tedhaun frees you?"

"The sources for Bandana are missing, but Meta Knight I will surely tell."

"Good enough. We have something big on our hands, and I say it's connected to Kirby's kidnapping."
