Life 2 - Chapter 22

We all disappeared in that puff of smoke, and the scene changed.

When I could see again, I realized that I was nearly completely transparent.  I still had Mitch in my arms, though.

We were sitting on the floor, MonoKirby floating above us.

"Come on, you two!  We don't have all day, boyo!"

We stood up and looked around.

I then looked 'out'.

"Wait, why are the words italicized?"

MonoKirby groaned.  "Gosh, Jerome, leave the fourth wall alone!  Geez, boyo....  Anyways, it's like that and you're like this because we are in the past.  My past, boyo."

I frowned and looked around.

We appeared to be in the hallway where the 16 rooms would've been.  But instead of 16 rooms, there were 16 holes.  Just holes.

We all heard some very quiet footsteps coming from one of the holes.

MonoKirby shook his head and turned around.  Me and Mitch also turned around.

There, a single, familiar, pink puffball walked down the hall.

MonoKirby.

"Back then, I was just Kirby."  MonoKirby explained.

Kirby looked around quite a bit.

He then walked towards us, but he didn't seem to see us.

"It is a past memory, boyo.  Neither we nor they can interact with the other."

Mitch cocked his head a little as Kirby seemed to stop at the end of the hall that connected the 3 hallways.

He turned to the Grand Hall doors and pushed them open.

We walked in through the doors as they closed behind Kirby and us.

There were no chairs or the table.  It was just a big empty space with a throne at the end of the room.

Something sat atop the throne.

No.  Not something.  Someone.

A very large penguin with royal robes and a cap sat upon the throne, eyeing Kirby.

Kirby looked angry.  "King Dedede, your reign of terror is over, boyo!"

Dedede laughed and stood up, picking up his hammer that had been leaning against the throne.

"No, Kirby, it will be your end."

Kirby narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.

Dedede twirled his hammer in his hand and, without warning, chucked it at Kirby.

Kirby's eyes widened and he dove out of the way, rolling and standing back up.

The hammer went through us, but Mitch still let out a little squeak of fright.  It was really adorable.

Kirby leapt towards the hammer and sucked it into his mouth.  Somehow, the large hammer fit into his mouth.

A ball of light enveloped Kirby, and a few seconds later, it died down to reveal Kirby holding a hammer more his size and a light blue headband around his head.

Dedede did not seem surprised at all.  Instead, he just pulled a hammer from beneath his robes.

Kirby examined his hammer before sighing.  "You meant to do that, didn't you, boyo?"
