The flash bomb dropped before its massive eye had gone off before it, causing its head to rear back and pupil to shrink as tears dripped from its stinging retina. When the bear latched onto its arm, it would feel like jello within his paws, giving and squishing. It was slippery and difficult to get a firm grip on, but their attempted tugging had been enough to draw its attention. As it blinked the white glare from its eye, its ocular rolled over to Banjo and Kazooie, capturing their reflection within its pupil. Magic surged from beneath the creature once more and before its eye, a gargantuan spherical rock the size of a boulder materialized as though emerging from its socket. The boulder was aimed at the bird, fire churning behind it as it was ready to be unleashed like a cannonball. The gleam above the creature’s head went unseen and Cloud’s attack passed cleanly through. The warrior had landed and there hadn’t been much of a result. It looked as though the limit break had had no affect on the creature until the boulder started to crack. A bright light caused the rock to shatter as it erupted from the cyclop’s eye. Light continued to shoot out of it like a geyser, causing its head to turn upward before the whole creature collapsed and went limp. Its body melted like liquid, turning into a pool that gradually cracked into pixels as it dissolved into the airspace. King Dedede coughed and spat up a few black globs of gunk, and although he was no longer possessed by the virus, his sickly condition remained unchanged. He was back to his normal size. Dream Land residents were more resilient than average creatures being able to expand and deflate with their flexible exoskeletons. The penguin was lying on his back, a flipper resting upon his aching tummy as he panted in exhaustion. [color=a187be][b]“I’m…I’m alive,”[/b][/color] he gasped in shock. He then sat up, peering over his belly at the heroes. [color=a187be][b]“I thought you all would have killed me for sure.”[/b][/color] He raised a flipper to his mouth as he still continued to cough black stuff. Flopping back in exhaustion, his tired eyes gazed back at the wall. [color=a187be][b]“It appears that I’m still sick though.”[/b][/color] The purple battle aura faded into darkness, returning the room back into the circular chamber they had originally entered. The only thing that was different was that it was no longer filled to the brim with darkness. The entrance was no longer blocked, but the Butter Building still seemed impossible to escape with some of the floors above it having collapsed. [color=a187be][b]“You guys really roughed up my castle. I felt it shaking as you all made your way down here,”[/b][/color] the penguin said with an irritable frown. [color=a187be][b]“There’s another way out. I wouldn’t be able to call this place a castle (it was the Butter Building) if there wasn’t multiple [i]secret[/i] exits.”[/b][/color] King Dedede extended a flipper toward the wall and just like every weird thing in Dream Land, the door exploded into existence, revealing a dark corridor with a light at the end. The light being the outside. [color=a187be][b]“Go on get before I have you all thrown in the dungeon.”[/b][/color] [center][h1][color=fff200]Mission Accomplished![/color][/h1][/center] [center][h1]XP Concluded! Congratulations!

There was a lot of drama that just made the plot very deep and worth it. It was a great mission and you guys accomplished it. What would have made the mission complete were two things: 1) if everyone just started slaughtering everybody. Instead, you guys came up with creative ways to bypass a lot of the bosses. This was just an Alpha-level mission after all; and 2) if you forgot all about recovering Stolen Honor. Because they were mentioned throughout the mission, you guys were able to reclaim them in a logical manner. King Dedede could have been killed and it would have just made for a sad ending with potential revival later. However, the group already has one person they need to revive. I'm sure we all don't want two characters in the graveyard. Overall, great work guys![/hider] [h3]P.O.[/h3] [i]If a player is inactive for more than 3 days without letting the GMs know of any delays, then the player can be skipped over on the 4th day.
