Later, at Kirby's House, Tiff finds Kirby making his own bed for Tokkori, and scolds the bird for taking advantage of him, to little avail. She tries to tell Kirby about Dedede's scheming, but the pink Star Warrior is inattentive. At that moment, a massive black cyclone emerges from the sky above them and starts raining lightning down on the two as they make a run for it. Tiff soon concludes that the storm is not natural as it continues to chase them down. The two run through Cappy Town, as the lightning causes havoc for the villagers, destroying several things within the village. Tiff and Kirby get separated in the chase, but Tuff manages to find her in town as Dedede and Escargoon drive past in their [[Armored Vehicle]] to watch Kirby get attacked. Kirby jumps into the vehicle's attached container, causing the lightning to focus on the car and prompting the drivers to get away. They try to get back in the castle, but end up crashing through the drawbridge into the moat.

Later, on the throne room, the N.M.E. Sales Guy attempts to reassure Dedede, who has caught a fever from the (likely contaminated) moat water. Dedede demands that Kracko be taken back, but the Salesguy cheerfully states that the contract forbids it. As the thundercloud looms over Dream Land, Tiff, Tuff, and Fololo & Falala set out to try and find where Kirby had gone. Kirby meanwhile is cowering under an old stone bridge in the countryside. Having failed to find him, Tiff goes to [[Kabu Canyon]] to ask its guardian for help. Kabu directs Tiff into the sanctuary, where Meta Knight is standing before Kirby's [[Warp Star]]. After explaining that she had hidden the star here for safekeeping, she asks Meta Knight to tell her more about Kirby. Meanwhile, Tuff and Fololo & Falala manage to find Kirby making an escape, as lightning continues to rain down on him.

Tuff and Fololo & Falala manage to find Kirby hiding in an old sewage drain. They encourage him to try and inhale the thunderstorm instead of running. Kirby tries, but this fails, and he must run away again, as Dedede and Escargoon pursue him once again in their car. Kirby manages to avoid these two, but is still under fire from Kracko. Tiff and Meta Knight find him, and Tiff calls for the Warp Star to come to Kirby's aid. Using the Warp Star, Kirby flies into the thunderhead to battle its source. After an initial engagement with Kracko, Kirby inhales the thundercloud and partially disperses it to uncover the beast for all to see. Kracko then throws out a sword made of lightning to strike at Kirby with. After dodging it, Kirby inhales the sword to gain the [[Sword]] ability. Kirby then proceeds to strike Kracko several times using the Sword Beam, destroying him. As the cloud disperses, Kirby flies down to the kids who celebrate his victory. As his Warp Star returns to Kabu Canyon, Tiff tells Kirby to let her know whenever he needs his Warp Star again. From there, the episode ends.
