Breakout

~December 29, 2019, Construction Site~

???: Maya, this site is really sus. Can you tell what it is?

Maya: I don't know what they're building, but it seems related to the weapon we're unleashing.

Ztar: Relax, it's not like it- (supposed to walk in it, only to be blocked by a force field) ok, then...

???: Look's like we need another way in.

Maya: (recently thinks onto one of her friends) Lucky for us, i know how.

~Peach's Castle~

Kirby: I came here today to tell you all what this building is. (opens up his tablet to reveal the constructed building) This is a massive Wi-Fi amplifying antenna with a capability of spreading content even further.

Mario: Does this mean more spaghetti content?

Kirby: Exactly. But it also has one thing. Based on the debris i scraped off, it also be the ultimate defense system from that giant weapon. Combining element physics & alchemy, it will reduce it to pure snow, capping off the year in white goodness.

Lo: Well, considering that nothing else can go wrong, it also has a defence protocol on Drones, right?

Kirby: Hey, why not. It's so that no sabotage can interfere our work.

Zel: Anyways, i kinda miss King Pipe. He really has to see this.

Maya: (burst through the door) Everyone, i found terrible news!

Kirby: What is it Maya? We're kinda in the middle of a building reveal.

Maya: It's about our landlord, Zel. He's been arrested!

Zel: WHAT?!

Maya: Yeah, back at when our apartment's destroyed, someone apparently blamed him on the accident & arrested him.

Mario: Well guys, it seems like we're on a prison breakout.

~MKPD Jail~

Kirby: Alright, KP. Where do you suppose to be? (suddenly notices some red light in the drain) I assume you're in there, in accounts of what you are. (tries looking at it, only to know what's up) No, no, AAA- (gets pulled in there, leaving nothing)

Lo: Do you hear something?

Mario: Meh, it's Kirby finding the cafeteria. You know what happened to our Smash reception tables.

Zel: Go figure.

(By then, they see KP on a hanging platform [because there ain't any area where he can hop down on])

KP: Zel, what are you doing here? He's gonna find you.

Zel: Don't worry, it'll be quick.

(But Hal entered to the area, only to find them)

Hal: YOU! I knew you'd come here, & it be an opportunity to arrest you all.

Lo: Listen, you got the wrong guy! I didn't cause that Halloween incident.

Ztar: BUT I DID!

(Suddenly, Ztar punched the hole off the wall, making his dramatic entrance. He then grasps onto Lo, catching him unguarded, & prepares his gun)

Hal: Hey sir, this is a damage of public property, & it's... ILLEGAL.

Ztar: (notices Hal) I know you... & you won't overpower me this time.

Hal: What are you talking abo- (starts realizing the point) ohhhhhhh... (points his gun on him) Framing an innocent & police genocide is illegal, you know.

Zel: Well on the bright side, the police ain't be hunting you anymore.

Ztar: SILENCE! (fires the chip onto Lo's arm & it starts corrupting him) These chips are generated to force someone to do my absolute bidding.

Mario: I'll get you out! (Lo suddenly punched him, out of pure shock that this chip's controlling him)

Maya: Mario!

Lo: I'm sorry (passes out)

Ztar: you're next... (fires the next chip onto her, when Zel took the shot)

Maya: Oh no Zel, not you too.

Ztar: Meh, close enough. But how does it feel Maya to be replaced?

Mario: What?

(Lo & Zel then rose onto their feet, but something's off)

Lo?: (brings back his lightsaber) All for the absolute!

Zel?: All for- wait, i need a weapon.

Ztar: Don't worry, i got it. (grabs a scythe from the confiscated weapons box & lend it to her)

Zel?: Thanks.

Maya: Ztar, please don't do this. Didn't you realize what you're working with?

Ztar: Says you. Your master's gotten tired of your use. Come on my new workers, this new years will really blow everyone away. (fires a smoke bomb for them to make a dramatic exit)

Mario: They're gone.

Hal: & KP's gone too.

(the two then eyed onto Maya, whom she's a lot confused on what happened)

Maya: Yeah, i'm gonna explain.

~Some mindscape grass field~

Lo: (suddenly woke up) Where am i?

(Lo then looks onto the field to find a ton of Kirbys. Those puffball aliens are enjoying life as Lo watches) This is weird... (suddenly, a yellow Kirby had hit him, where Lo quickly notices) hey there
