Kirby: Mysterious Incident on the Pupupu Train! - Chapter 7: Kirby's Great Singing Operation!

Previous Chapter

“...what!?”

King Dedede looked like he was about to fall over.

“It won’t end like this! York, I’ll thoroughly question you about your scheme later! You better prepare yourself!”

He rushed out of the dining car. The dumbfounded passengers began to shout.

“A-a-a shooting star!?”

“What’ll happen if we collide with it!?”

“Nothing good! The Pupupu Train will explode!”

During the chaos, Meta Knight approached York.

“A shooting star! Can the self-driving system avoid something like that...!?”

“It... it cannot...!” York staggard, dumbfounded. “To avoid collisions, the train tracks must be changed. It requires advanced calculations and techniques. There’s no way you can do it unless you’re an experienced driver!”

The passengers’ screaming increased.

“Then King Dedede can’t do a thing!”

“Waaaaaaahhh! I wanna go back to Dream Land!”

“We can avoid a collision with an experienced driver? Then we have no choice but to wake him up!” Meta Knight said.

“It’s...useless...!” York repeated the same phrase while trembling. “The effects of the slumbercumbers are very strong! You’ll wake up when the time comes, but until then, you can’t wake up!”

Bonkers grabbed York.

“This is all your fault! It’s all because you smuggled the slumbercumbers...!”

“No, I can’t believe this is happening...!” York cried.

The voices blaming York and the voices screaming mixed to create great chaos in the dining car. It was during all this...

“Everyone, be quiet!” A loud voice echoed.

It was Kirby, who had an unusually sharp expression. Everyone took a breath and looked at him.

“We just need to wake up the driver. If we can do that, we’ll all be saved.”

“Yes...” Meta Knight nodded. “Is there something that can do that, Kirby?”

“...I don’t know whether it’ll work or not, but...” Kirby clenched his fist. “I remembered something from this morning. Bonkers was sound asleep, but when I hummed a little, he immediately woke up.”

“...what?”

Everyone turned their attention to Bonkers. Bonkers spoke with a frown.

“It’s only natural. There’s no way Kirby can sing. If you all heard it too, there’s no way you... could... sleep...”

He then realized.

Kirby nodded. “I’ll sing with all my heart... right next to the driver and the others!”

“What are you saying?”

York shook his head in amazement.

“They shouldn’t wake up from something like singing! No matter how much you yell or shake them, they won’t wake up. That’s the effects of the slumbercumbers...”

“No, it’s a good idea.” Meta Knight said.

The passengers nodded with fascinated expressions. The kind-hearted Waddle Doo and the others said with tearful expressions.

“Uuu... uuu... I feel sorry for the driver and the others...”

“I’ll leave it to you, Kirby.” Meta Knight said.

“Got it! Walky, lend me your strength!”

Kirby turned to Walky and inhaled deeply. Walky panicked.

“Huh? You’re inhaling me? Kirby’s singing power is destructive as is... UAAAAAAAAA!!”

Walky flew through the air and into Kirby’s mouth. Suddenly, he transformed, gaining a pair of headphones on his head and a microphone in his hand.

“Huh?! Mr. Kirby transformed...?!” York shouted in surprise.

Meta Knight explained.

“When Kirby inhales someone, he can take on that person’s abilities for himself. Because he inhaled Walky, he now has the Mic Copy Ability... wait, Kirby!”

He quickly put a stop to Kirby, who was about to sing at a moment’s notice.

Kirby then said. “I thought I would practice. Everyone, listen...”

“Stop. You don’t need to practice. Hurry to where the driver and the others are and sing in as quiet of a voice as you can.”

“...huh? But if I do that, they won’t wake up.”

“That’s not the case!”

Meta Knight forcefully persuaded Kirby.

“Your singing voice is fine! If you sing in a soft voice, the driver and the others will wake up immediately!”

“Is that so? Ehehe!” Kirby giggled in a shy voice.

“Anyway, get going, Kirby!”

“Got it! I’ll wake them up no matter what!”

Kirby rushed out of the dining car.

Meta Knight then shouted. “Everyone cover your ears and get down on the floor! Kirby’s singing voice will attack without mercy, even from a different vehicle entirely! Protect yourselves!”

The passengers did as they were told and fell to the floor while blocking their ears. Only York continued to stand, dumbfounded.

“What’s wrong, everyone? What are you all doing?”

“You should do the same thing, too! It’s about to get real dangerous!” Captain Vul said while still covering his ears.

“Dangerous? What exactly do you mean?”

York tilted his head in a mystified voice.

~~~~~~~~

Kirby rushed into the room where the driver and other staff members slept. The three of them were sleeping side by side. All of them looked healthy and had calm breathing.

“Just wait, I’ll let you hear a happy song.”

He took a breath and grasped his microphone.

“AHHH, AHHHH! IT’S MORNINGGG...MORNINGGG... A BEAUTIFUL MORNING...”

As Meta Knight told him to, he sang in a soft voice. The three bodies twitched in their sleep, and so did their peacefully sleeping faces.

“Oh, they’re moving a bit! They’ve been touched!”

Kirby became more and more enthusiastic. The first stage of the Mic Copy Ability, Megaphone, has been put into effect!

“WHAAAAT IS FOR BREAKFAAAAAST TODAAAAYYYY? IS IT PANCAAAKKKEESSS OR IS IT SANDWIICHHHHES?”

“Ughhhh...” The three staff members let out a painful moan. The strong effects of the slumbercumbers were about to be broken by Kirby’s singing! Kirby himself was having more and more fun. The second stage of the Mic Copy Ability, Desk Microphone, has been put into effect!

“DRINK SOME MIIIILLLKKKK! DRINK SOME JUICE TOOOOOOO! DESSERT IS YOGURT AND BANANAAAASSSS!”

“Uu... uuu...!” The three staff members tossed and turned many times over as they broke into a cold sweat.

And finally, the third stage of the Mic Copy Ability, Stand Microphone! Kirby closed his eyes as his body trembled and his voice resounded.

“DOOOAAAHHHHHHH!! IT WAS DELICOUUUUSSSS!! THE BREAKFAST! THE BREAKFAASSTTT! QUICKLY, QUICKLY COMEEEEEEE!! LUNCHTIME! OH, LUNCHTIMEEEEEE!”

“GWAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!”

The three staff members shouted as they sprung awake. With an unimaginable singing voice, the effects of the slumbercumbers were shattered.

“S-stop it, stop it...!”

“My...my head is pounding! My ears are ringing!”

“I was having such a wonderful dream... until that dream world was shattered!”

The crew members writhed as they covered their ears.

“Oh, you’re all awake! The power of singing is really amazing!”

Kirby was so happy that he somersaulted, the force of which caused him to drop the ability and caused Walky to roll out.

Walky then said. “Did you do it, Kirby?!”

“Yup! The three of them are awake and conscious!”

“Well then, let’s go quickly now!”

“Yeah!”

Kirby shook the driver.

“Mr. Driver! Mr. Driver! Come quickly! We have a problem! Come quickly!”

However, the driver clenched his eyes and shook him off.

“D-don’t touch me! Uu... even though I was having such a wonderful dream... let me go back to sleep!”

“You can’t! The Pupupu Train’s in great danger!”

“The Pupupu Train? Who cares about that... I wanna sleep...”

The driver mumbled, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes shot open.

“The Pupupu Train! No, wait, I’m in the middle of driving it! I felt like I just fell asleep... this is bad, this is bad!”

Upon hearing that, the maid and the conductor’s eyes also opened.

“Waah! I’m also on the clock! I carelessly dozed off!”

“I did, too! I wonder how long I was asleep for. I have to quickly go and clean all of the guest rooms!”

It was as if they had no idea what was going on while they were sleeping.

“Then you gotta come quickly! There’s a shooting star nearby and it’s likely to crash into us!” Kirby shouted.

“HUUUUHH?!”

The three staff members became pale.

“We can’t dodge it without the driver! Come quickly!”

“Oh no...!” The driver, still pale, jumped up and rushed to the cab.

~~~~~~~~

Kirby and Walky returned to the dining car. Everyone there was exhausted. The most severely affected was York. His eyes were white, and he fainted.

“What’s wrong with Mr. York?”

Kirby ran up to York, who was laying on the sofa.

“No way... did he also eat the slumbercumbers...!?”

“No...” Meta Knight answered with a soft voice. “He didn’t listen to my advice to cover his ears. Because of that, he received serious damage.”

“Huh? What happened?”

“...it’s nothing. Are the driver and the others awake?”

“Yup! They woke up refreshed!”

The weakened passengers breathed a sigh of relief as they applauded.

“Hurray! You did it, Kirby!”

“We knew you could! Like we knew we could withstand that singing!”

“Shh! Don’t say that!”

The applause grew louder and louder, causing York to wake up.

“U... uu... what was that horrible experience I had...”

York groaned as he woke up while Kirby reported happily about what happened.

“Ah! Mr. York! You’re awake! The driver and the others woke up!”

“...huh? Are you serious?”

“Yup! My song moved them, and they woke up! He’s heading straight for the cab now!”

“Song? Your song...? Uuuu... why... why is my head throbbing...” York uttered while holding his head.

“Has the driver returned to his post?”

“Yup! So did the conductor and maid!”

“That’s good.”

York raised his head and said in a clear voice. “Then everything is already taken care of. His driving skills are the best in my company. That means it’s the best in the galaxy. He can definitely avoid the shooting star!”

The passengers cheered and hugged each other.

“What a relief...! We’re saved!”

“I thought we were doomed!”

Within the cries of rejoicing, the door to the dining car opened and King Dedede entered. He said while staggering.

“That horrible singing voice... that was you, wasn’t it, Kirby! Well, don’t think I couldn’t have managed it on my own strength without the driver!”

He plopped down in a chair and glared at York.

“Now, to continue from earlier, York! I would like to say that I would like to question you about your evildoing...”

The king then looked away.

“We’ll talk about those annoying things later. We should celebrate the fact that we avoided this great disaster. It’s time for a sweets party!”

The passengers cheered with joy.

“Sweets and snacks!”

“Chef Kawasaki! Make a sweet cake!”

“Of course! Thanks to Captain Vul retuning the sugar, I can make lots of planned and even some new cakes!” Chef Kawasaki said with a smile.

“Hooray!”

There was great applause. However, it was at that moment that the conductor rushed in with a serious expression.

“I have a message from the driver! We’re too late to be able to avoid it!”

“...huh?”

The noisy dining car became dead silent.

The conductor shouted painfully.

“The speed of the shooting star is greater than we expected! Collision with the Pupupu Train is imminent...!”

GUYs.

You know how my last post was about redesigning Cynthia for toontown??

Well– I just got an idea

Cynthia/Synth-10/Joykill was made as an attempt 2 for what Iris was supposed to be. One day, the cogs think to try to send them to the old building (the one that Iris has taken over). As Joykill is designed specifically for destroying Toons, they figure she should be able to handle Iris perfectly fine.

I might draw like– I has an idea where Iris has taken over Cynthia to fight for her. She’s like– displayed on a TV behind Joykill as she readies for battle.

Also, I had a second thought about Iris’s relationship with The Toons and The Cogs, she’s like– so dangerous that The Cogs and Toons have to form a temporary alliance with each other, especially after attempting to defeat Iris with Joykill went so, extremely, south.

For attacks, I had an idea that Joykill has a medical saw, a beam she can fire from the palm of her paw and jets in her feet to allow her to fly (skip a turn like in Pokemon) or use these jets to charge a toon (or cog in this case) and deal MASSIVE damage (you are being hit by a very powerful, completely metal robot).

For Iris though, she has complete control over the building and whatever cogs were inside when Iris took over. She can use the corrupted cogs to attack and in that case, they attack how they normally would. Iris can also use wires in the building to bind Toons or Cogs to hold them in place. Using these wires, she can electrocute them. Also, sound based attacks are very common (she’s a digital popstar after all). I think it would work like Kirby’s mic ability but with a countdown (she fires every time it’s her turn). A weak sound that can cause daze. A medium sound that guaranteed to cause a daze. And a loud sound that can completely destroy 1 cog every time it’s fired. Also, considering Iris is themed after the toons, I think she has a chance to use a gag attack. She’ll probably aim usually for cogs but after a certain point, she’ll start attacking the toons too (probably upon Cynthia’s/Synth-10’s/Joykill’s destruction which would serve as a half point for Iris’s fight).

That’s all I have. This wasn’t intended to be a bossfight ramble but oh well!

I just met Peony and I love her already. Any combo of 🪄🍅⚡️💜🩷🥀 for the ask game?

🪄—Peony does have some magic abilities! She can communicate with plants and later discovers she can communicate telepathically with people too! She can also create seeds and sprouts and help plants grow and heal!

🍅—If Kirby absorbed her I think he’d get the Leaf Ability! Peony cannot wield copy abilities but her favorite she’s seen Kirby do is mic cause it makes her laugh ☺️

⚡️—I think in line with her making plants grow she might grant the splash ability if any?? She would be weak to fire! That’s for sure!

��—If Peony were corrupted by the Jamba Heart, her insecurity and loneliness that she normally suppresses or hides/ignores would be amplified.

🩷—I think her moveset would be fairly long-range vine-like attacks that do low damage and mostly defensive and supportive moves! She would have one “special attack” (like Queen’s Phantom or Magolor’s Sword attack) that would be like a spray of petals and sunlight I think. All in all she’d be mostly support with lower HP, only slightly higher than Adeleine and Ribbon imo.

🥀—YES! I have thought of a soul form for Peony based on her possessed period I wrote of in her backstory that is pinned on my page! Kirby fights something similar, I don’t really describe it because it’s through her eyes but basically her colors are more dull and drained, her wings are larger, and gold and black and her eyes and face in general are obscured and replaced by a big sketchy looking eye like the ones in Crystal shards and she is wrapped in similarly sketchy looking vines with thorns piercing her lightly. She can be saved! She is a very good girl! I’d like to think she’d never be too far gone unless something terrible happened to her or people she loved…👀

🌸🌷THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ASKS AHHHH!!!🌷🌸

#kirby oc #hoshi no kirby #Kirby OC asks #kirby triple deluxe #kirby triple deluxe oc #moth oc #peony baby 🥺🥹#I love talking about her #she is always there in my mind #tiny Moff bby #thank you so much for asking!

One Last Thing

The ship had been abuzz with excitement. It seemed like the four heroes could barely stand still for more than a minute, and when they did, her dad was talking their ears off. It had been strange to have the Lor Starcutter so busy lately, but this was a new height. It was a little scary, but... in a nice way? Morastrum wasn’t sure how to process the feeling.

“So, um, which one do you wanna use?” she asked Kirby, perched upon her dear friend Mr. Sandbag, who was fresh off a beating. “Because I wanna make sure I’m grabbing the right ability if you get hurt and lose it...”

Kirby let out a long “Hmm,” bouncing on his heels as if that would make himself think better. For all she knew, maybe it did. Either way, it was making electricity build up around him.

“Leaf! No, Sand?” He flapped his nubs. “Or Tornado! Wait, I might want Water! Ooh, but Mic could be fun...”

“Hey Pinky, none of us are goin’ deaf just so you can beat the dragon by yerself.”

It seemed both of them had failed to notice Dedede, standing at the door with his arms crossed.

“You’re no fuuun!” Kirby whined, shooting a quick spark arrow at Mr. Sandbag to disperse the charge that had built up around him.

“... Um. Mr. Dedede? Dad always says I shouldn't stand in the doorway, because the sensor’ll stop seeing you if you just stand there too long, and shnnnk.” She mimed a slicing motion.

“Doorway, shmoorway.” He waved a hand dismissively. "You two comin’, or should the three of us get all the glory?"

Kirby let out an offended gasp, and rushed past Dedede out the door, Morastrum following shortly after. The other two heroes had been waiting more patiently in the main deck of the ship. To little surprise, they were currently caught in a conversation with her dad.

“Hey, I got both of them!" Dedede interrupted. “We good to go now?”

Meta Knight silently nodded.

“Phew, finally!” Bandana Dee stretched, a smile in their eyes.

Her dad, however, wasn’t so eager. His ears lowered as he looked at her. “Mora, are you going with them? Landia’s quite the threat...”

She opened her mouth to protest, but Kirby cut in. “She’s been with us for everything else so far!!!”

“Morastrum is very skilled at dodging attacks,” Meta Knight added.

“Plus, we’ve done a lot of other dangerous things on our adventure,” Bandana Dee chimed in. “Like getting chewed on by eels or sucked through portals!”

Dedede nodded. “Yeah, I don’t see how helping us fight a dragon could be that much worse than followin’ us through the void.”

“Alright, alright.” Her dad put his hands up. “Point taken- Mora can help you if she wants to... You do want to, right?”

She nodded rapidly.

“I guess that settles it, then!” He clasped his hands together. He clearly wasn’t any more pleased about the idea, but he still put on a smile. Apparently, it looked genuine enough that there was some celebration from the heroes... Well, mostly Kirby.

“Before you all go to defeat that beast, though... Would you all mind stepping outside so I can talk to Mora alone?”

And so ended the brief cheering. There were a few grunts and grumbles of protest, but the four heroes gave them their privacy, filing out the door.

“...Am I in trouble?” Morastrum whimpered.

“No, no, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm glad you want to help with all this.”

“Then why do we need to talk alone?”

"It’s just...” He took a deep breath. “You know Landia’s dangerous, right? It’s taken the Lor down twice already, and I don’t want you getting hurt.”

“I’m tough! I’m fast!” she huffed. “I’m not scared of big stupid Landia!”

He laughed, and gave her a scritch under the ear. “That’s my girl. Just promise me one thing, okay?”

“Uh-huh?”

“Once the fight is over, you come right back to the Lor and go to bed. It’s already pretty late, and we’ve got a big day tomorrow.” He held out a hand. “You got that?”

Morastrum pouted. That was a dumb promise, but she really didn't want to miss out... “Okayyy...” she grumbled, shaking his hand. She could always stay up late reading just to spite that request, anyways.

“Attagirl.” He smiled and patted her head. “You’re free to go join them now. Good luck!”

Her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards the exit.

“Wait!” He called out, stopping her in her tracks. “I forgot to mention one last thing!”

She let out a loud groan, and turned back around to face him. “What?”

“Don’t be worried if I’m not here when you get back, alright? I’ve got a surprise to work on.”

“... Why wouldn’t you be here?”

He winked. “That’d ruin the surprise!”

Morastrum stared back. He was so weird sometimes. “Okay, dad.” She continued towards the door. “Goodnight I guess. Love you.”

“Love you too, amulet. Sweet dreams.”

What do you think of the theory that Marx and Kirby are childhood friends, which is why Marx used *kirby* of all people to manipulate and betray?

For a different theory, do you think it's possible for Void to store energy if it's not enough to reincarnate? If so, then both theories I've had about Kirby's possible energy origin could be true.

For the Void thing, I don't see why not! Especially in sealed form, it always kind of looked to me like Void was storing up energy. That energy can be dispersed and coalesce into things like the friendship heart and friend platforms, as it was in the beginning of Star Allies, or reabsorbed later! (Honestly, I always thought the Jamba group had been working on the Void thing for ages anyway!)

As for the first theory... I'm completely smitten by it and a huge devotee of it! Even though it was born from a (official) Kirby gag manga...it makes a lot of sense?! Lemme explain!

It feels a bit like an expansion on the "lost copy ability helper" theory. That being that there is a "Helper" for every copy ability in Kirby Super Star, except for Mic, Crash, and Sleep. But the idea is that if you COULD have turned these into helpers, they would follow Kirby around and help him save the day! And Marx would be the "Sleep" helper! (if you buy into the Noddy theory - even if you don't, you could say he's all three, because he's got the hat, is loud, and EXPLOSIVE!) But he's foe, not friend!

I've seen it said that Marx is a funny character to get fixated on because he appears only twice (one of those times is the pre-game cutscene) in the very last sub-game and has something like four lines of dialogue total. That it's silly because Marx has no "character" to speak of. But even before Star Allies came out, Marx has always been a subject of fan art and fan appreciation. What, then, were fans basing his character off of?

...Well, I think some of the bond between Kirby and Marx ties into the "0%/0%/0% Theory" (which I was going to save for another comic, but I'll go ahead and outline it here. I may have brought it up before, in which case...I don't apologize because it's a damn good theory.)

...

In short, due to the expansion chip “Kirby Super Star” (SNES) used, it was a very volatile game cartridge. Meaning that if you put it into the SNES wrong, or wiggled it or such, you might lose your data. A lot of people would turn the game on after completion only to be greeted with 0% 0% 0% (representing the three save files.) It was a relatively easy game (as long as you weren't going for full completion on GCO) so people would just beat it again.

What began to happen in the fandom thanks to that is the idea that the game was resetting ITSELF. And what's the last thing that happens before that reset? You fight Marx. (Marx who made a wish to get control of Popstar and failed to get his wish. And Galactic Nova is implied to be immortal sooooo...RESET TIME) And as much as I love Milky Way Wishes that (infamous) ending is...a bit anti-climactic? Marx + Galactic Nova explode, Kirby flies home, Kirby has a nap. The END. It's like something is MISSING....

...The idea became that what is missing is Marx himself. You can't "save" Marx. You can't stop him. Or talk him out of it. Or even talk TO him. You're just stuck in this time loop of fighting him again. And again. And again. And every time you fight him, his power inevitably goes berserk and sends him crashing into Nova... And the tragic cycle begins again.

There was a desire, at least in some fans, to want to SAVE Marx. (Anyone getting “Undertale” feels here? Because I think you can draw some “Undertale” parallels with Marx and Kirby and “Milky Way Wishes” being played out hundreds, possibly hundreds of thousands of times.) Even if they weren't friends to begin with, they have to know each other VERY WELL after X number of time loops they're stuck in, never able to escape this sad, inevitable conclusion.

I brought up in my Magolor's theme park post that there's a lot of pretty fanart of Magolor with those blue flowers that mean "I forgive you."

There's an equal amount of fanart that portrays Kirby reaching out and grabbing Marx (saving him) to keep him from falling to his doom in Milky Way Wishes, and I think the timeloop/friends theory is the reason. This time...This time, we can prevent Marx from his fate...!

But while it's a brilliant little theory (and breaks this old fan's heart - I love me some tragic time-travel stories) it’s a little complicated to explain, so I think skipping back even further and setting them up as friends before Milky Way Wishes is an excellent way to reframe the accidental friendship the two of them had "built" over the years since Super Star was released.

It keeps the tragedy of the situation, that of two friends locked in battle, in a nice easy to consume way. If you like the additional idea from said manga that Kirby forgot about him for years, it makes it even more tragic on Marx’s part, and helps fuel why he wishes for what he did - and why he trusted that Kirby, of all people, could get it done. Or maybe that he chose Kirby to do this because he wanted Kirby to be there when he made his reveal?

It’s been questioned before, “Why didn’t Marx just summon Nova himself?” Especially if he’s that powerful? Then Kirby would never get involved and Marx would basically get his wish. If he’s already bitter at Kirby for some reason, it makes perfect sense why Marx wants Kirby there as opposed to just getting what he wants ALONE. (He’s tired of being alone!)

Frankly, outside of the "manipulation" thing, there's really no reason Kirby WOULDN'T be friends with Marx! We know that Kirby is himself someone who loves to play games and be silly. In the various manga, they’re often a total (adorable) troublemaker themself! The fact is, Kirby and Marx would probably have quite a few things in common! (Marx just takes his jokes further and has less interest in lazy, boring days. But even if "keep him fed" from Star Allies is a mistranslation, there's still enough associations with Marx and food that you imagine he enjoys eating enough to have that in common with Kirby too!)

So, yeah. What this boils down to is Dess cares a whole heck of a lot about the Marx + Kirby friendship and all its complexities, bruised feelings, misunderstandings, and eventual redemption! It is probably my second favorite "relationship" in Kirby. (First being my OTP, of course!)
