Melvin deftly caught the bomb in his left hand, then simply chucked it behind him. He tossed the grey bag into the air, and chopped it in half with a single stroke of his blade.

Melvin: If I had any intention of doing something perverted, I would have already.

He grinned.

Melvin: So how about that cup of coffee?

Vivian wiped some dust off her hands. She then hopped down beside Melvin, and glanced at Melvin. She snapped her fingers, immediately setting off explosions, in the tree branch above, behind Melvin, and even Melvin's hand.

Marilyn hopped into the air when the tiny bomb exploded near her. The explosive didn't do much but singe her backside.


Marilyn: Grr....

Going against what should've been pudgey physics, the fat kunoichi lunged at Melvin.

Vivian: EEK!

Marilyn: Guh!

Marilyn ran poor Vivian over in her attempt to tackle Melvin.

Vivian:

Melvin simply blinked for a moment as he stood there, covered in soot and ash... then stepped to the side, sticking his foot out to trip Marilyn, who fell over in a heap, then began squirming around vainly in an attempt to get up.

Meanwhile, Melvin walked over to the smooshed Vivian, and squatted down beside her, gently rolling her over onto her back.


Melvin: Are you alright?

Kirby: Melvin! Would you knock it off?! We're supposed to be fighting here.

Vivian:

Marilyn: Guuh! *keeps squirming*

Beldam: *slowly walks out of the bushes* Grr... You all have one last chance before I set off a devastating attack.

Melvin is now standing, while cradling the unconsious Vivian in his arms.

Melvin: Kirby! If it isn't painfully obvious to you, I'm a bit busy!

For some reason, something snapped in Kirby's head. Perhaps it was the mere thought of Melvin craddling a perfect specimen of one of Kirby's obsessions that caused it. Whatever it was, the spikey headed lad let out a very angry growl, and chucked a leaf airplane at Melvin.

The airplane got stuck in the nerd's hair.


Beldam: ...

Kirby: ... Come on, it's supposed to hurt.

Beldam: Stop ignoring me!

Kirby: Grr... Damnit, Melvin!

In another instant, Kirby clocked Melvin, loosening the hold on Vivian.

A big vein throbbed underneath Beldam's straw hat. This entire ordeal was so incredibly childish that it was getting to her.


Beldam: Enou--aaggghh!

A leaf airplane was lodged in Beldam's mouth. The old woman stood there and began trying to cough the leaf out.

-------------------------

OoC Kirby: What the bloody hell is going on here?

A large vein throbbed on Melvin's forehead, and he gently set Vivian down on the ground, dissapearing from view moments later. Kirby found his legs coming out from underneath him, and then his entire body flying through the air. Melvin had taken hold of Kirby by the ankles, and swung him like a bat towards Beldam - but rather, smashed his face against a tree.

Melvin blinked at the tree, then Beldam, and then began whacking the kunoichi with Kirby, as if he were a weapon, shouting at him in time with every swing.


Melvin: DO - NOT - INTERRUPT - ME - WHEN - I'M - HITTING - ON - SOMEONE!

Afterwards, Melvin flings Kirby off into yet another tree, as a ghostly figure resembling him pops up from the floor, runs over, and begins whispering into his ear, while pointing at Vivian, and then Kirby in turn.

Melvin: Wait... Really? You're sure?

He blinked at Vivian, and then facepalmed, as his ghostly visage dissapeared into the floor.

Melvin: Oh, shit.

((Kirby, I'm thinking what's going on here is pure chaos. I starting to have a little trouble keeping up now, but at the same time, I may just ADD to the chaos...))

The Waddle Dee, watched all of this unfold in front of his eyes, unconsciously aware that he was writing all of this down on paper, behind his shelter of a tree. He seems to have underlined the fact that Kirby and Melvin aren't a great team. He also seems to mark that Kirby's other allies (Besides Melvin, since he IS pretty active right now.) sometimes aren't as involved as he once though... Seems to also mark down that Melvin has a thing for girls, but... he seems a tad too powerful to take on without a plan. He seems to mark numerous things from this battle, but his face was stone-cold with surprise. Slowly, he pulls off his hat, covers his face with it and laughs wildly about in it, so that the people fighting wouldn't have a chance of hearing. Even though... they probably are too busy with the fight itself to care.

Waddle Dee: Bwhahahahaha! This is just terrific... I thought I was fighting some high-class people here dodging from that Kirb, but this group seems different. I was expect some really nasty teamwork and all that gripe. Well, somewhat of teamwork, but they're all too busy with their own goals in life to work on this combined goal. I shall have my comeback, Kirb, and bring you down for what you did to me back at the Old Door... But wait... If that old hag and giant get the best of Kirb, how am I suppose to have my revenge!? Grrr... Nobody is gonna beat them but ME!

He grabs his hat that was covering his face, and reaches in there. With shaking arms, he slowly pulls out a rather small fused bomb. From the looks of it, either it's pretty heavy, or the creature's pretty weak.

Waddle Dee: This Shotput Bomb should take care of that old hag, it definitely seems like the other two are... out of commission.

He strikes a match and lights the fuse, gathering all his strength in his right arm, he hurls the bomb into the battlefield, but he starts to laugh a little bit soon after launch.

Waddle Dee: Hell, if I hit Kirb now, then I won't even have to stop those Shinobi Whatevers... But, I think it would be more better for me to take the honorable route here.

The bomb plops itself into the ground, just a couple of feet away from Beldam. The fuse getting shorter and shorter with every second...

Kirby, already wiping blood and tree bark off his face, starting stepping towards Melvin. He stopped in his tracks when Marilyn stumbled in his way. The blonde ninja looked around and saw her allies were scattered about.

Marilyn: ... Guh...

In typical ninja fashion, Marilyn pulled out a tiny object, and chucked it into the ground. A blinding flash, followed by pouring smoke, filled the forest grounds. All three of the kunoichi were gone.

No one even noticed that the Shotput bomb was launched in the opposite direction by the force of the smoke bomb.


Kirby: *cough cough* And.. *cough* They're gone just like that..

The Waddle Dee is only left confused after all the sudden action that occurred and especially from that crazy smoke bomb out of nowhere, but he quickly regains his senses when a loud thud erupted from behind him. He looks back, and chuckles a little as he reaches out and attempted to close his stubby arm around the shotput bomb's lit fuse, to basically stop it. Unfortunately, he was seconds too late, as the bomb... exploded in his face. After the smoke had cleared, a soot covered face of that Waddle Dee stares at the very small crater that the bomb had left. Luckily, he blinks right before the explosion, so that his eyes didn't get damaged by the blast. Though, his left arm was sure to be sore in the morning... His face slowly showed pure frustration and he snarled under his... breath?

Waddle Dee: ...I will get those fools, I will get ALL of them. Not only did they ignore me back in that blasted sewers, but they had to do this too? Kirb, how many times are you gonna knock me down before you realize that I get stronger each time that I recover...? Soon, I'll teach him a lesson that will make all other lessons after it POINTLESS, because he'll... be... no more...

Then the blackened creature, gets all flutterly-eyed, finally absorbing the concussion of the blast. He slowly lays on his back, thinking to himself before he blacks out, "I need more gunpowder in those bombs..."

Kirby continued to glare at Melvin as he started to walk. He slouched forward as he stepped onto the same path the punies took earlier.

Kirby: Fights with ninjas aren't supposed to last for long. It's so weird.. The way they were fighting.. it seemed like one of the derivatives of the Navarre Thief Guild...

A dull look continued to follow Kirby as he fixed his tattered jacket. There wasn't much he could do about the bloody smears at the moment. Looking ahead, Kirby could see a few rocks and some strangely low lying clouds scattered on the path.

Kirby: If there was a river, would the water be gray or something?

Beldam, Marilyn, and Vivian dragged themselves through the streets of Rogueport. Beldam was in the worst condition, with tears riddling her kimono. Marilyn had a few scratches with leaves scattered in her shinobi outfit. Vivian was in the best condition, with only a cracked hat.

Vivian: That didn't go too well..

Beldam: Of course it didn't go too well, you idiot. One of them wasn't following the rules. You're not supposed to flex boss-like powers against bosses. Nonetheless, you were useless, Vivian.

Vivian: What?! But.. but..

Beldam: You allowed yourself to be smitten by that same enemy..

Vivian: What?

Beldam: And it only took Marilyn one hit to take you out. Because of your very own actions, you will not get your pendant back.

Vivian: *sniffs* You're so mean, Bigeu...

Beldam: Would you stop calling me that?

Vivian: I.. I'm sorry..

Beldam: What? Do you not like these codenames? Hm? Is that it? Would you prefer some other names? Do you want me to call you Phaere? Idiot. If only you were as serious as Marilyn, things might go your way..

Marilyn: Buh!

Vivian: ... *sniff sniff*

-----------

Kirby: *checks neck* Gah... That old hag dropped something on me when Melvin was using me as a bat.. *glares at Melvin* Gah.. I can't get it off me.. Gah.. it's like... embeded into the dreamstone..

A giant, gray tree greets everyone. The sunlight peers through several breaks in the leaves, creating an effect that makes the tree more enchanting.

Grey: "You know what I think is just awesome?"

It's Detective Grey, popping out of his usual generic hiding spot that mysteriously seems to appear on the scene whenever danger arises! He removes his fedora, and withdraws the Star Diamond from inside it. Grinning, he tosses it into the air a few times...

"Regardless of whether or not those guys beat you up, they still wouldn't have gotten the Star Diamond, since you never really had it anyway..."

He then tosses the diamond in the air a final time, watches as it lands in his hat, and jams the hat back onto his head with a flourish.

"Now then, what's this thing...?"

He looks at the thingie around Kirby's neck and tries to pick it off him...

"Is it a tracking device, or some kind of poison? They WERE ninjas, after all..."

He keeps on inspecting it...

"Ah, well. Seems to be a just a normal necklace. Doesn't look bad on you. I wouldn't worry too hard about not being able to get it off. Who knows, maybe it belongs to someone?"

Punio: I see it didn't take you guy long to deal with those ninjas. Unfortunately, we've got a new problem.

Everyone just noticed that Punio and Piki were standing in front of the tree. They also only just noticed a large metal door on the front of the tree, with a red light above it.

Punio: Somebody's put a freaking door over the entrance to the Boggly Tree... and locked it! There's no way in!

Piki: Well, there is a secret entrance... but it's hidden! You'd need some sort of wind power to reveal its location.

Fem: Wind power?

Jack: No problem. Leave it to the folk with wings.

And so, Jack and Fem took to the air, pushing as much air as they could toward the tree. After a moment, a large gray tree bark-patterned sheet, that nobody could tell was there before, was blown away. Underneath it was a very tiny opening, and a large (black and white) neon sign reading "SECRET ENTRANCE!"

Punio: Perfect! *climbs up tree root that leads right to the rather high-up opening* With any luck, I'll be able to open that door from the inside... I'll be right back!

And so, Punio entered the secret entrance, and everyone else was left waiting for his return.

Kirby: Well.. they were after the map I have too... Tracking device... *fiddles with the pendant* It looks nice, though... very shiney... I need to keep away from crows.

Kirby watched Punio enter the "Secret Entrance". He blinked for a few seconds when his attention was diverted to the metallic door.

Kirby: ... Why can't we just kick that in? We need to get another star fast.

While the inside of the tree is mostly just as monochromatic as the outside, the ground is sort of orangish-yellow and black, and sections of the walls are a clear blue, with a liquid (presumably water) moving about inside. A somewhat soothing song, like something you'd expect to hear in a mall, plays faintly in the background, at a slow tempo, on wooden instruments. Also, there are what appear to be small shop-like structures along one wall, made of the same gray wood as the tree itself.

Punio: It's strange... everybody seems to be gone.

Piki: This is normally a busy shopping center...
