As King Dedede complained, Cloud couldn’t help the irritated frown that was on his face. He didn’t know who he thought was more annoying: him or Wario. If he had to choose between either, then that alone would have been the most difficult decision of his life. The penguin barely explained what he had done, and instead denied it all, and had some nerve acting like he was the victim or that any of the choices he had made were the most morally sound. The swordsman sat up with an exasperated sigh and pushed down on the edge of the hammock to dump himself onto his feet. He sat within one of the seats along the walls and started to buckle himself in as Vault Boy warned about light speed. Naija’s explanation about what all had happened, had brought the entire story into full circle. Cloud didn’t know much about pixels or a sword that could destroy them…or bags that could open dimensions to other worlds—he recalled the Egg Stealer’s bag—but regardless, it all sounded like bad news. And they were supposed to fix all of this?

[color=00a99d][i]It’s not like I haven’t been in this position before[/i][/color], Cloud mused.

Vault Boy told everyone the battle strategy. Cloud didn’t know how he felt climbing into a shell to be shot into an enemy ship, but they didn’t have much of a choice. Upon hearing the penguin complain again, Cloud glared over at him. He was growing tired of King Dedede always trying to flee from his problems. “[color=00a99d][b]You’re coming with us. I’m not letting you out of my sight. This is your fault, and it’s about time you learn to take responsibility for your screw ups.”[/b][/color]

Once the ship exited light-speed, Cloud unbuckled himself and rose from his chair. He marched over to the cockpit to briefly assess the situation. The Halberd was releasing its ships, having immediately picked up on their presence as Vault Boy predicted. His attention shifted over to Kirby, watching the marshmallow head over to the airlock. When he emerged outside the ship with his own little starship, Cloud’s blonde brows rose in surprise. [color=00a99d][b]“Now I’ve seen everything,” he muttered. The puffball was a melee fighter and now an intergalactic pilot. Resting a hand upon his blonde, spiky head, Cloud closed his eyes momentarily as he muttered, “I’m gonna go load up.”[/b][/color]

At Naija’s questions, Cloud shared, [color=00a99d][b]“I think we’ll do more damage hitting this thing from the inside.”[/b][/color]

Instead of going directly to the shells, Cloud went straight for King Dedede grabbing the penguin by the shoulder and dragging him over to the launcher. He was going to stuff the whiny penguin into one. There was no way that he was going to get into one of the shells before he learned if King Dedede came with them or not.
