Vs. Battle #6 SpriteMeister Vs. Darth Cloaked Guy

[SpriteMeister]

SpriteMeister: Bring it on, Giovanni...

Kirby: Hiii~~ [taunt from Super Smash Bros.]

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

A rattle-clank, rattle-clank is heard as the man in gray steel armor steps out into the arena. He surveys his surroundings, and wonders why oh why he was sent here to fight a pink puffball. He'd never redeem himself at this rate.

Then again, he'd never heard of Kirby of Dreamland, either.

[SpriteMeister]

Kirby inhales and swallows a rock, then runs over to a giant hamster (Rick, for those unfamilliar with KDL3) and starts riding him. Rick turns into an octagon shaped boulder (that still resembles him, of course), then Kirby stands on top of him and rolls him back and forth. After a few moments he jumps off of Rick (who turns back into a hamster) and discards a star-shaped object that didn't seem to be there before he dicarded it. It quickly disappears.

Crimsonn notices several other animals about, including a large calico cat (Nago), an owl (Coo), a small green bird (Pitch), a large blue fish (Kine; who, oddly enough, doesn't seem to mind too much that it's not in water), and a pink... octopus with a red bow (Chuchu). They don't seem to be very active, possibly because they're moping about Rick getting Kirby's attention, or possibly because Kirby isn't using them at the moment.

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

Crimsonn tilts his head sideways and shakes his head, beginning to wonder if he is losing his mind.

[SpriteMeister]

A small, brown Kirby-sized creature descends with a parasol. Kirby eats it, wields the parasol, then runs over and joins Nago. The two use the parasol as a pogo stick, and start bouncing towards Crimsonn.

[Silfedac]

Crimsonn isn't the only one. Was that a taunt from Kirby?

[SpriteMeister]

(No, it's one of his abilities. I was just using it as a taunt because I knew it would confuse him.)
(The pogo-stick thing, however, is not being used as a taunt, but as my first attack; just to clarify)

[Silfedac]

Thank you for the clarification.

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

Insane or not, whatever this thing is is moving toward him. He readies his shield.

[SpriteMeister]

The parasol comes down upon Crimsonn's shield with astonishing force (considering it's only a cat and a puffball in an umbrella), but is only able to knock him off balance. Kirby bounces up and crashes down again, aiming away from the shield this time.

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

Even having been caught off-guard by the whatever-it-was, he knew better than to let that parasol come down on him again. Preferring to fall than be fallen on, he dives out of the parasol's path. Rising to his feet, he drew a shiny longsword from a hilt at his side, holding it in his left; the shield was in his right.

[SpriteMeister]

Kirby bounces back a short distance and puts the parasol away. He then jumps off of Nago and discards another star (that similarly wasn't there before, and soon disappears). A yellow-ish blob with a witch's hat and broom appears, and Kirby eats it, then runs over and grabs Pitch.

He runs toward Crimsonn as the bird tranforms into a... bucket?
As Crimsonn defends himself against the puffball (I assume), Kirby dodges his sword and splashes him with the water from the green container. It doesn't hurt, but seeps through his armor and soaks his clothing. To add insult to... well... insult, Crimsonn's face is also soaked. Kirby continues to drench him from all angles as he shakes/blinks the water from his eyes (I assume Crimsonn is wearing a full helmet and therefore only affected through the visor. If not, then rephrase as seems fitting).

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

The water doesn't do much. In fact, it has almost no effect on him at all after he blinks twice to get the water out of his eyes. He swings his sword and shield, the sword being lower to the ground and the shield being higher, in a manner that if his opponent dodges one, he will most likely collide with the other.

[SpriteMeister]

Kirby lets go of Pitch, causing a brief lag in time: just long enough to catch Crimsonn off guard. He then discards another star, which hits Crimsonn and makes him flinch. His swings barely miss Kirby as he runs to his next friend, Chuchu. She grabs a lime-green, water-droplet shaped creature and feeds it to Kirby, then holds out one of her tentacles. It starts glowing, to the point where their(Kirby + Chuchu) faces lose all color from the illumination. Then the tentacle kicks back as a laser beam fires straight at Crimsonn.

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

Crimsonn saw the attack coming, and blocked the attack with his polished shield, reflecting the beam back at his opponent. The moment the beam ended, Crimsonn would use a spin to add power to a swinging shield bash.

[SpriteMeister]

Kirby dives out of the way of the laser, which conveniently keeps him out of reach of Crimsonn's shield bash. He discards ability and partner again, then eats a fireball with eyes (Crimsonn probably has noticed at this point that there are many small creatures wandering about). He hops back onto Rick, and Rick starts spitting small fireballs at Crimsonn.

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

Caught off-guard by the first fire-ball, Crimsonn noticed it to be very hot. He had experienced dragonfire, and this wasn't even remotely as powerful. With trained precision and speed, Crimsonn hurled his sword at Kirby. He had a theory these other critters were helpless without the puffball.

[SpriteMeister]

Kirby reacts to the sword by... frankly, getting hit with it. It knocks him off of Rick and makes his power vanish. However, this turns out to be a poor choice for Crimsonn, when Kirby inhales and swallows Crimsonn's sword before he can get to it (you're lucky I chose the only Kirby game without the sword ability). Kirby starts throwing little boomerangs at Crimsonn.

[Darth Cloaked Guy]

Under normal circumstances, Crimsonn would summon his sword back to him. These were not normal circumstances. He instead counterattacked by throwing the boomerangs back at his opponent using his newly freed hand.

[SpriteMeister]

Kirby does a good job at dodging the first few, but eventually one of them comes in contact with him. Another star goes bouncing away, and vanishes before Kirby can get back to it.

Kirby swallows the nearest enemy- another broom hatter (the witch-ish thing), and jumps into Nago's arms.
Nago starts swabbing the ground with Kirby as if he were a sponge, and rolls him towards Crimsonn in this manner.
