#Plus it wields a hammer just like Dedede

[lady-zephyrine]

After sitting around on my laptop for months, these two are finally finished. Just like last time, my ideas will be under the cut.

Dedede - Between being the Popstar Region's King and Champion, he has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. Despite this, he's usually pretty laid-back and enjoys taking things at his own pace. He certainly does have his selfish moments, and like Kirby, he can be a bit of a glutton. Despite his flaws though, he's constantly cheering Kirby and his friends on.

He often worries about Bandana, so he encourages Kirby to cheer him on no matter what.

Zero - A strange man who simply wishes to spread his influence throughout the region, or so he claims. He occasionally runs into Kirby during his travels, and will often ask him to join his cause. However, Kirby doesn't seem interested.

For some reason, Gooey heavily distrusts him. Meanwhile, Blade seems genuinely afraid of him.

King Dedede and the Tinkateers

In the grasslands of Paldea, the heroes of Dreamland were having themselves a picnic, when suddenly, from the horizon...

Bandana Dee: "Your highness, look, a swarm of Pawniard is coming our way!"

Sure enough, it was an armada of Pawniards, with some Bisharp leading the charge, clearly believing the picnicing visitors to be easy prey.

Meta Knight, sword unsheathed: "Hmmph, I have been in the need of  a good battle for a while."

King Dedede: "Yeah, this should help us kill time before the food is done. Kirby, don't eat everything while were away!

Kirby: "I make no promises!"

But before our heroes could charge into battle, the Pawniards and Bisharp suddenly stopped, some shaking in fear as they stared at a hilltop. curious, our heroes looked there as well.

An army of pink sprites, all of varying sizes, all wielding hammers made of scrap metal, with the larger ones utterly dwarfed by their own weapons. And on their faces, a cute pink smile. The smile of a murderous maniac.

The Tinka line. Tinkatinks, Tinkatuffs and Tinkatons.

They charged at the Pawniards, several holding onto each other in fear of the approaching mass of pink and steel.

For the sake of everyone reading this, the battle shall not be described. Just know that our heroes were disturbed by the sight.

Bandana Dee: "That was... horrifying."

Meta Knight: "Nature is cruel and unforgiving. But I agree that that was a bit much."

King Dedede: "Eh, they don't scare me none. Plus those hammers just look plain shoddy. They wanna see a real hammer, they gotta come look at this bad boy."

He pulled out his own hammer, wooden and beautiful, and catching the eye of a particular Tinkaton. She belted out a battle cry, charging with her hammer raised, her brethren following behind.

Bandana Dee: "They're coming for us, sir."

King Dedede: "I can see that, Dee."

Dedede leisurely raised his hammer, watching the Tinkaton approach. Activating the jet propulsion mode of his hammer, he held steady, until the Tinkaton finally reached him, and their weapons clashed.

It was over before it even began, Dedede's overpowering the cobbled together weapon, launching the thing flying into the sky.

The other Tinka's watched this event, before wisely raising their hands in surrender and backing away. Dedede's opponent stared at her hammer, already somewhere in the stratosphere.

King Dedede: "Now that's what a real hammer looks like. And don't ya forget it."

The Tinkaton, eyes sparkling in utter awe, fell to her knees, and began to bow to the penguin? king.

Meta Knight: "Hmm, I believe this one wants to learn from you."

Bandana Dee: "But wouldn't it be dangerous to the local ecology to teach a wild creature how to build a weapon of mass destruction like that?"

King Dedede: "I see no problem. Alright little lady. You're hired!"

The Tinkaton had tears in her eyes, before hopping into the air in joy... and quickly dodging when her hammer crashed down to earth.

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, the blue blur shuddered.

Tails: What's wrong, Sonic?

Sonic: I dunno. I feel like a small, pink thing with a giant hammer is gonna be a problem for me in the future. And that it isn't Amy.
