"...And currently
Kirby is being held on Mount Dedede," said Meta-Lance as he
turned off the plan display.
No, he isn't. "No, that's where you're wrong," Meta-Knight
corrected, "he escaped, and is now trying to find the decoy Star
Rod pieces. I wonder if he's found them yet... "Meta-Lance,
display Kirby locator!"
The servant then pressed another button and showed a map of
Dreamland on the screen.
"Kirby is currently located in the Butter Buildings. Estimated
time until all pieces have been found, 7 hours 45 minutes.
Excellent. With Kirby in the Butter Buildings, I can easily fly
to Vegetable Valley without being spotted. Then I'll be able to
hit both Green Greens and Ice Cream Islands from there in less
than an hour."
Meta-Knight then walked over to an intercom and yelled, "Prepare
for takeoff! All security soldiers meet on the deck, all
mechanic soldiers meet in the control room, pilots head to the
cock pit, and all emergency soldiers meet in the hologram room
where I will be to discuss matters of incase of a Kirby attack.
Come on people, let's get this thing off the ground!"
"Excellent timing Sir," complimented Waddle Dee as he walked in
the ship.
"Ah... It's finally time to start the mission. It's amazing how
this all started with just a piece of metal." Meta-Knight then
proceeded to the hologram room and waited for his minions. Upon
their arrival began the discussion.
"Okay people, you know what to do, Axe, you surround the
transport chamber. Chain, stand by me and wait for further
instructions. And Lance, stand by the holograms. I'll be in the
control room."
"Wait Sir!" yelled out Meta-Axe.
"What is it?"
"I was just wondering, what type of transporter lasers to we
use?"
"Type C, why do ask?"
"Uh... I think we have a problem. This transport chamber is a
type A, the transport lasers will have no effect on him."
"What!!! But, I had the whole plan ready, I had all the bugs
worked out! Okay, this is a problem! Change of plans! Umm..."
Meta-Knight ran for the intercom. "Attention people! Attention!
This is Meta-Knight! We have a problem! All soldiers get on the
deck and be ready for combat, all emergency soldiers, scatter
across the ship! Mechanics, switch transporter lasers into
paralyze lasers! Pilots, continue flight!"
Suddenly there was chaos around the Halberd II, soldiers were
running this way and that. It seemed like there was no hope
left.
"Ugh... I had the plan, why oh why did it have to be this way?
Okay, stay calm. The first Halberd failed, but this one is
better. And besides after I conquer Green Greens and Vegetable
Valley, I'll be able to have more soldiers. Yes, this still \
can work. There is still a way I can win. Just...concentrate."
"Sir," Meta-Lance said, "all soldiers are in place. Lasers are
adjusted also."
"Good," Meta-Knight replied, "because I'm not going to let a
little mistake ruin the whole plan. We will still conquer
Popstar! We will still succeed! This is it! There's not turning
back now! We will win!"
