Kirby looked at Melvin with a sad look, and shook his head in disappointment.
Kirby: Let's just let the punies do their thing while we keep moving. I'm sure Punio can do his thing. |

Melvin pulled out a small knife and growled menacingly.
Melvin: I'll, uh... cut you up. Boy. |

Teddylot: ... I do believe we were just "chilling." What's it to you? ... punk. |

Kirby: It's just one.
Kirby, being obviously superior in speed, ran up to the Gim before it had a chance to shoot its yoyo. He leapt into the air, and proceeded to stomp on the Gim. As he connected his boots on the X-Naut's head, he used his legs to push down, gaining air once again. Kirby performed a flip while in the air before falling back on the stunned foe. As soon as he connected another stomp, he sprung back into the air. He flailed his arms as he soared in tha air before he fell ontop of the Gim with a bellyflop. At the last second, he performed a mid-air somersault kick, sending the Gim into a nearby wall and knocking it out.
Kirby: Whew... I needed that work out.
There was a squeak coming from the other end of the tunnel. It seems like some punies were standing at the exit.
"Hey! What are you doing in the Frat Punies' turf?!" |

A large crowd of fourty or so X-Nauts and Punies amassed themselves next to the battle field ... well, it's a stage now, but nevermind that. Kirby took the front position while Teddylot and the rest of the group were lined up behind him.
Teddylot: We're right behind you, buddy! We'll ... umm, just let you take most of the damage. |

Kirby shot a glare at Melvin.
Kirby: No doubt you were on the page with all the geometry and curves.
He shook his head. Kirby let out a sigh after wiping his cheek and turned around. There was a passageway into what seemed to look like a... tunnel?
Kirby: Punies have.. interesting lives.
X-Naut: .... Ooiiiiieee...
Kirby: ...?
Kirby turned around to spot a Gim laying on the ground with a dazed look in its eye.
X-Naut: What.. knocked me... Oh! It was you guys! How dare you knock me out like that!?
Kirby: Say what?
X-Naut: Prepare to feel the wrath of my Ultimate Yo-Yo of DOOOOOOOM.
Kirby: ....
X-Naut: ... er, yeah.
Kirby let out a sigh when the Gim reluctantly pulled out a yoyo, and started bouncing it up and down. |

"Oh la la... And what iz zis we have here, hm?"
As Kirby got up to his feet, he noticed the femme figure lurking in the shadows. It appeared to be a female jester; she wore a red jester's hat that seemed to be modified to be a hood with white puffy balls over where the ears should be; her upperbody was garbed with a blue-and-red, skintight material; her lower body consisted of a blue, translucent, parachute-like pants; her hands and feet were both wearing red gloves and red jester boots, respectively.
Kirby: Um...
Harle: Bonjour! Je m'appelle Harle. I am ze right hand harlequin of... Oh, non non non. I cannot tell you such a t'ing! *steps up closely to Kirby* Oh, you are such a magnificent specimen.
Kirby: Um.... L-lady..
Harle: You can have ze rest of ze goodiez. I have what I wanted.
Harle bows as she waves a shiney badge before her. She stands upright, and then jumps up to the nearby hole in the wall.
Harle: Au revoir!
Kirby: ...
Harle: Oh! I have forgotten!
Kirby: Is that... a script in your--
Harle lunged at Kirby, quickly giving him a peck on his cheek. Before Kirby had any way of retaliating with his sharpened paper, Harle leapt out the hole in the wall.
Kirby: ... Can someone tell me what had just happened? |

Zap: You know, back in the old days, we actually used pipes for plumbing ...
Teddylot: No kidding.
Teddylot stuck his head inside the pipe to see if Kirby had clogged the way or not, then was sucked up just the same.
Zap: Ugh, It'd be horrible if one of these things ever got clogged up. |

Kirby: .... Does this mean that... um... Some of these Puni creatures are on the X-Naut's side? *sighs* Now how are we going to... Huh?
Kirby noticed an oddly shaped structure near the door. It seemed like a wooden warp pipe.
Kirby: ... I wonder...
Kirby approached the structure. He looked inside and crawled in. He then realized he had been sucked up to another room inside the giant tree.
Kirby: They even have these things in nature?! |

Punio: ... Pathetic.
Piki: Now... where is everyone!?
Suddenly, as if on cue, two Puni, both with gray antenna balls, who were apparently sleeping in one of the shops, woke up. Upon spotting Punio and Piki, they quickly ran over.
Pasuo: Hold it! Paritaka says punks can't pass! Don't try, or you'll leave on crutches!
Paritaka: I'm right here, Pasuo. You got past those X-Nauts? We'll handle you now.
Punio: I see, now. We leave the Tree for maybe an hour or two to find help and the local gangs decide to take advantage of the machines attacking.
Piki: We don't have time for this! Time for some Stone Fists! *rapidly punches Pasuo in the face, causing the little punk to fall backwards, bouncing a couple of times before coming to a complete stop.
Pasuo: Hey! Stop already, you're hurting me.  *passes out*
Punio: Take this!
Punio grabbed a pebble off the ground and lobbed it at Paritaka. It bounced off the latter Puni's forehead, leaving a red mark, but little more.
Paritaka: Is this fun yet!?
Piki: What is that even supposed to mean?
Punio: Heck if I know.
Now Punio picked up a bit of root and spun it above his head like a chain. He then proceeded to run straight at Paritaka, bringing the root down in a swinging motion to hit Paritaka with it just as he got close enough to do so.
Paritaka: BARF! *also passes out*
Piki: Idiots. |

The GIM fell over, and struggled to get back up. Kirby lets out a small sigh.
Kirby: You know something, guys? I really, really think this whole thing is totally under our league.
X-Naut B: *finally gets back up* You... I'll never forget this! I'm gonna report this to Lord Crump! C'mon!
The GIM reached out to his severed companion and dragged him out of the room. The electronic door at the end opened, and then shut. A light above the door flickered from green to red, and made a short buzzing sound.
Kirby: .. I really hope that wasn't where we have to go next. |

Teddylot jumped to the front of the group, preparing to defend his friends from harm. However, before the teddy bear was able to even pull out a defensive weapon, the yoyo ... fell a foot or two short of it's designated target. As for the sonic ... well, I think Teddy's ears twitched ... maybe.
Teddylot: So you want to play a few school yard games, huh? Well, you don't know who you're messing with when it comes to yoyos because my yoyo ...
The bear reached into his pocket to pull out a doozy of a yoyo, which would cause anybody to start tearing by the sight of it.
Teddylot: ... is a Duncan yoyo.
X-Naut B: *gasp* ... no.
The X-Naut launched another yoyo attack, but this time ... the bear was ready. Teddylot launched a lateral straight at the oncoming weapon. Being made with higher quality and more zing than the leading imitator, the Duncan yoyo broke through the minion's scrappy one. It even continued in its trajectory to give the X-Naut a good bump on the head before returning to Teddylot's hand. |

((Once again, thank you Grey  ;; ))
X-Naut A: ... We.. didn't have our color sensors on.
X-Naut B: You have color sensors!?
Kirby took out a piece of paper he had found laying around in the sewers. He folded a paper airplane in a matter of seconds. He then looked at one of the Gims and tossed the airplane.
The paper airplane soared through the limited airspace. It performed a loop.. and another loop. It did a barrel roll, and then another loop.. and was then caught in one of the Gims' compartments.
X-Naut A: Gaah! I can't move! My hydrolics switch has been severed!
Kirby: Alright, this is just pathetic. *looks at Grey* We're famous, now? I've been on so many adventures, and I have yet to appear on the news, just the Underground FanZ blogs.
X-Naut B: I'll avenge you!
The robot unleashed its devastating Sonic Yoyo attack. Yeah, that's it. |

Grey: "What I'm wondering is what took them so long to notice us in this drab, empty, desolate, black and white, uncolored, unfeatured, sterile, ominously tiny place. We're only a group of gigantic, loudly-attired travelers made famous by a near-holy mission involving the most powerful artifacts in the world, after all."
He grins merrily, and pulls out his pistol.
"I say we humor them." |

Random X-Naut #... A: Hey! How did you guys get in here?
Two Gims were in the back of the room when they finally noticed the group. They took a few steps forward.
Random X-Naut #...B: Aren't these guys the ones we gotta look out for?
X-Naut A: Hey, yeah! Oh.. Aren't we supposed to file a report to Crump if we see them?
X-Naut B: Dude, if we defeat them, we'll be set!
X-Naut A: Yeah! Let's get them!
The two robots revealed their only mechanical arm, and began to spin yoyos around. There was a slight dull look on Kirby.
Kirby: You guys do know you're outnumbered, right? |

Zap: None of that now.
Teddylot: Aww, scraps. |

((I kinda started laughing when you described the theme  ))
Kirby: *looks around* Interesting... Well.. I think I see some glowing lights behind some of those buildings... *looks behind* Guys, we need to try our best to not do a Godzilla impression. |
