⚙️ “Geez, you don’t need to shout…
I am Kabula, the King’s greatest pilot. And as long as we fly, the skies belong to Dedede!”

The airship does take notice…

There’s a bright searchlight projecting Dedede’s symbol below as the Blimp hovers closer.

Rather than sending anything, a different voice came from the speaker, less blaring and pre-recorded (yet growly).

⚙️ ”Eh? Who goes there? Identify yourself!”

⚙️ There’s a Blimp flying around Dream Land’s towns… in place of its main cannon, it currently has a speaker and seems to be playing a message on repeat…

A VERY old announcement of Dedede’s, from back when he demanded all the food in Dream Land.

⚙️ A searchlight moves across the ground, originating from what seems to be a massive blimp on the sky.

The searchlight, upon further notice, projects the emblem of Dedede. The airship doesn’t notice Tsuki yet, but the light it makes is bright and disruptive.

⚙️There’s been an airship with a decorative grin circling around the skies for quite a while… after a while it seems to not just notice Taranza, but its ‘eyes’ fix upon the area around him.

// Y’know what I need to make Kabula active…

Though how do I explain the ghost thing…

// I need Kabula but she has the eye and mouth style of a Mario Movie Bomber Bill

So expressive just imagine the rage and frustration that she has when fighting Kirby

Kabula has retained all the upgrades from when it was the Flying Core Kabula that Haltmann Works had rebuilt to attempt to blow Kirby sky high…

But something was different… as the Flying Fortress approached the ruins of Dedede Castle, it was as if that painted face had a furious glare.

For reference

[Kabula begin!/ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

In Gigabyte Grounds, there’s a wind storm kicking up as something starts to rise…

It quickly fades after a few minutes as an airship the size of Whispy rises. It slowly advances towards the skies as it seems to be searching for something across Popstar.

Also adding Kabula as a multi-muse with her own twist.

She’s a Waddle Dee ghost piloting the namesake airship, whose spirit is linked to the ship she once piloted.

// going to flip this to a different Kirby Character eventually

I’m listening to Kabula’s theme and imagining a personality for her that suits the new Kirby games.

It’s hard for a massive metal bird to traverse a thick forest without damaging it…

Dyna Blade is too injured to fly after her last battle, so she tries to inch through…

And then, the sound of a tree falling.

Nope. Not going to move.

//prolly’ll flip Dyna uhh

I don’t feel like I’ll be active with her after the SL

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

Dyna Blade is stunned, and is immediately launched from the sky into a distant forest by the robot’s next attack, the ground shaking as she lands roughly.

Metal feathers scatter across the forest.

She struggles to find the strength to get back up.

Most of Dyna Blade’s body seemed to heavily armored, for a creature able to fly. However, she flinched a few times when the blasts made contact with her face.

She made an echoing roar as she summoned gusts high up in the air, manifesting into wind projectiles.

[changing format to Thread/Reply next turn since it’s just me, Ess, writing this fight until they’re both on the ground]

Dyna Blade Blocks the attacks with her metal wings, twirling to repel the homing shots. She then makes a strong flap upwards and attempts to slash X-kai with her talons.

Dyna Blade sees the Intruder approaching…

Unlike RiCO, this was definitely a hostile.

“Turn away… or face my wrath!”

She turns and starts flying backwards, charging up her fire breath and launching a large blaze at the Machine.

“The storm… it’s an omen……

I’m still searching for the missing…

Is there anything I can do to help?”

Dyna Blade perches on a set of pipes in Patched Plains…

She’s a bit unsettled with how… metallic everything’s become.

Stolen from a ⛈️

“Chariot?”

She picks out something in between her feathers. It’s a Patch.

“Cappies said… Machines use these.”

She stands quiet…

She doesn’t recognize Tsuki and takes a decent several seconds to think about it before gently releasing RiCO.

“Where is… Susie?

Village Cappy… people … missing…”

It’s been years since she’s needed to speak… how did Acti…

“Intruder…

The metal ones… are the enemy!”

She soars to the nearest mountain, dropping RiCO into a cave. She grows metal feathers, then swings her wings, creating a cage out of the feathers.

Sharp, jet-black feathers fall slowly down from the path the massive bird took.

Dyna Blade does not recognize this intruder… she doesn’t know if she was responsible for the missing villagers, & only recognizes a machine that intrudes upon the land.

She swoops rapidly, grabbing RiCO with her talons & causing great gusts of wind as she returns to the sky.

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

A mighty roar echoes through the skies.

The land is plagued by invasive machinery, and the Cappies that resided under her watch have been missing.

The winds of Dream Land blow fiercely as Dyna Blade casts a massive shadow on her search for the missing village folk.

[NC]

“It has been… long since one was last Active…

Has the Knight abandoned his pursuits of Dominion over Dream Land?”

Note: She can speak. Acti Blade taught her.

Going off of the Right Back At Ya story, there is a Cappy village out there and Dyna Blade nests not far from it.

My excuse- uhh I mean the reason she’s dormant is because none of the trouble in Dream Land reached that village yet.

Even without her chicks, she maintains the role of a protector.
