*That was... insane! Joe can't help but be a bit jealous he stuck to fists this whole time...* "Amazing! Just amazing!"

000

"Yeah. How about you show off some other things as well! Keep impressin' me some more!"

000

*Joe... was not really that upset about that.* "Heh, well I can't really be mad at 'ya for that, you've certainly improved, and I think that's what matters more 'ere!"

000

"Woah! That was... very impressive!" *Knuckle Joe looked in awe, simply clapping his hands together!* "I-I thought somethin' like that would take months, but you've managed to do that in the span of just weeks!"

000

"Hm, is that so? Really strivin' to be a great Fighter as well it seems!" *Joe looked impressed...* "Well, let's see what y' can do now!"

000

"Heh, you know it, pal! Let's see those results!"

000

"Well... I still believe you can do that if you just keep tryin'..." *Joe smiled a bit...* "You'll be strong someday, I just know it."

000

"Geez... he must've been pretty worried for 'ya then..."

000

"H-Hey, We all did what we could y'know... Not like we could've taken on Magolor by ourselves anyhow..."

000

"Yyyyup! Everythin's back to normal on Popstar... Kirby was able to set everything right, as normal!"

000

"Really now? I'd be glad to see how strong you've gotten since then!" *Joe followed Vis, lookin' around casually...* "Of course, not now, I mean we're patrolling right now y'know..."

000

"Heh, is that even a question I gotta be asked? 'Course I wanna patrol!"

000

"Hehe, sorry 'bout that... haha... maybe I should've waited to dress like this till later..."

000

"Vis!" *Ah! Knuckle Joe's here! Dressed for the spooky season as well it seems!* "Long time no see, pal! Patrollin' the streets I assume?"

000

"There we go... all dressed up for Halloween!" "Geez, this paint is gonna be a NIGHTMARE to get off though afterwards...."

"...Man I dunno what to do tonight..." "So uhhh...." "...Any fellow Fighters out there in need of advice or somethin'?"

000

"Hehe, Purple it is then..." *Joe rubbed his nose with a smirk...* "At that rate, I might as well go all out, green headband an' all. It'll be a real blast from the past, that's for sure!"

000

【ナックルジョー】 @vulcan-jab.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

"Well, obviously! Me an' Wheelie Bike go together like chicken an' waffles."

000

【ナックルジョー】 @vulcan-jab.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

"Hehe... Well, you do you, friend!" *Joe laughed a little at the thought...* "Now. I gotta make a big decision here... do I wanna go with the good 'ol red outfit with the pink hair... or the time I was purple?"

000

"Heh, I thought you'd recommend such because of my liking for the Wheelie Bike."

000

"Really now?" "What kinda extreme gear would even suit me anyhow?"

000

"Huh... Maybe I should try one 'o those things sometime!"

000

"Hehe, Course I can! I can go as myself from the past!" *Ah! Now it makes sense! ...Kinda...*

000

"Uhm....." "Tsuki? what's an Extreme Gear?"

000

*Joe can't help but chuckle...* "How about somethin' a bit more simple... like uh..." *He had a dumb idea, like... probably worse than any other idea he's made before but...* "Why don't I go as myself this year?"

000

"Heh, glad t' hear that!" *The Fighter tapped his foot, clearly in thought...* "Y'know, maybe I should dress up for this year! But I don' got any good costume ideas..."

000

*Suddenly... Knuckle Joe!* "Yo! Kirby! You gettin' ready for Halloween I see?"

000

"Wait, why are we talkin' about Rick this morning?"

"Well..." "I... just hope things get better... Alright?"

000

"Susie's... gone?" "Y-You guys don't mean like, GONE gone, right?"

000

"Heh, couldn't have said it better, friend!" "'Ya ever need someone to help out-punch ANYTHIN'! You know where to find me!"

000

"Heck yeah!" "We gotta show the whole world that Fighters like us can do things just as well as magicians, or wizards, or... whatever else uses magic these days!"

"Magic this, magic that... When are folks gonna start realizing that fists flying and kicks colliding are far better (and way cooler) than that?"

"Eh?" *The Fighter stared these new opponents down, he's been training to deal with heavy hitting opponents like these, especially living rocks for some reason...* "Wait, you want me to fight these things?" *He rubbed his nose with a smirk...* "Heh, Alright then! If that's what 'yer askin'!"

000

"The heck... OH COME ON! WE JUST FIXED THIS!!!" *Yeah uh, that casual mood was entirely gone... I mean, the people of Popstar JUST stopped someone who did just this for the past week, he's clearly had enough!*

000

"Huh, soooo that answer's my question..." ("Geez, I at least expected somethin'... tougher looking... Ah well! Looks CAN be deceiving after all... Jus' keep it cool, Joe. Keep it cool...") "Not much of a big talker, are 'ya?"

"Big... yellow... huh?" "What the heck's a Janemba?"

"Ah screw off..." "Out of all the enemies that I've seen arrive here, why'd it have 't be Simirror?" "...No seriously, why him? He's lame."

020

"H-HEY! What are you..." *He noticed the message... and just nodded.* "R-Right! I knew this was a bad idea!" *Joe suddenly grabbed Taranza by the hand, bandaging it up with a spare headband of his, it ain't the best solution but it's better than nothin'...* "C'mon! Let's mosey outta here!" -

110

*Joe... noticed the fallen construct...* "W-What in Nova's name is he tryin' to tell me..." *He just can't piece this puzzle together...* "T-Taranza, focus! If you're... trying to tell me something, or... warn me about anything just tell it to me straight!" *Yeah, like THAT would work at all...*

"T-Taranza!?" *Joe was quite startled... hell he was so startled... he didn't take note that the Doomers were all suddenly not attacking... that they were all swarming the Lor...* "W-Who are you... talking to?"

【ナックルジョー】 @vulcan-jab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

"T-Taranza? Hey!" *The Fighter got up to his friend, clearly looking worried as ever...* "Hey! Are you... alright?"

011

*Knuckle Joe smirked, looking out of the Great Cave Offensive.* "Heh, go get 'em, Kirby. Show that rotten egg how a real Star Warrior does things!" *Of course, He couldn't afford to just watch the fight occur, he had to protect his friends still in the cave! Since, well...* *There were WAY more -

140

"Huh, overheard somethin' about Bandee going to find Kirby... I'm bettin' good money that they're gonna try and stop Magolor..." "But geez, these Doomer swarms better be gone with him when it's over, because I'm nervous these things might be takin' notice of the cave..."

"...Vis, I'm not gonna say yes if you keep looking upset."

000

"...Vis, we are not doing this AGAIN..."

000

*Snrk...* "Guess Marx is on a roll... with losing!" "That's like what, his 9th loss in a row? How's he still tryin' to win when his next loss will get 'em into double digits?"
