Some other mishaps and antics that have happened, but thankfully did not end up with another Halberd in the ocean.


Captain Vul accidentally released the Heavy Lobster on top of a fuel tank. Yeah...that was not very good. Started a big fire and they had to make an emergency landing.

One time a wing just exploded for some reason. To this day, none of the crew members know the cause.

Sailor Dee mopped the floors one time, but forgot to put up a wet floor sign. Everyone kept slipping and falling. Nobody could make it to the control panel. The sight was pretty sad, honestly. The ship probably would have crashed somewhere if Meta Knight wasn't able to fly over and start steering the ship again.

When the ship was grounded once, King Dedede sat on one of the wings while he was having a conversation with Meta Knight. The wing literally just snapped off. Meta Knight's still pretty baffled and a bit flustered over it.

Ignoring the warning on the bag (because he makes his own rules), Meta Knight reheated a bag of popcorn. The microwave caught on fire, and instead of telling anyone, he just threw it out the window. Whenever anyone questions the disappearance of the microwave now, he just shrugs.

Axe Knight was messing with the radio once. He found a station he liked, but Mace Knight didn't agree, and they spent a long time arguing and fighting over which station to listen to. It only ended when Trident Knight ripped out the radio and threw it through the windshield. Now they have no tunes.

Axe Knight modded the GPS screen so he could play Doom 1993 on it. But without a GPS, they kind of got lost. Anyway, that's how the Halberd wound up in space.

During ship repairs (a common occurrence, of course), Axe Knight blew a can of compressed air into Mace Knight's face. That was probably a fun hospital visit. Anyway, rebuilding the ship was delayed by like a week because of that.

Axe Knight has continuously pressed buttons he's not supposed to, which have resulted in crash landings, engine failure, Heavy Lobster, and the discovery that the computers in the Halberd are apparently still running on Windows 98.

Captain Vul crashed the Halberd into Daroach's airship once out of spite. His logic was basically "why does the Halberd always blow up? Time to make other people's ships blow up, too!"
No ships were blown up, but it did leave a Halberd-shaped dent in Daroach's ship.
When Meta Knight later pointed out how he could have used the cannons instead of trying to pull a kamikaze, Vul just laughed nervously and shrugged it off.

That radio that Trident Knight threw through the windshield? It washed up on shore a few months later. Mysteriously, a CD appeared inside it, labeled "ocean man".

Kirby was dropping by to say hi once, but Captain Vul freaked out and wound up crashing the ship into the woods, causing some minor deforestation. Probably didn't help when Kirby followed them to check and make sure they were alright...Meta Knight and Sailor Dee were the only two fine with seeing Kirby, while the knights just acted very passive-aggressive and Vul ran off shouting into the woods.

Captain Vul crashed the Halberd into the Lor Starcutter as a "funny prank". Neither Meta Knight nor Magolor thought it was funny. To this day, the two of them are still arguing over who's supposed to pay for Magolor's damages. Meta Knight insists it should be Vul, as he is the one who crashed the ship. Magolor's defense is "your ship, you pay!"

Galacta Knight dropped by once. That should be enough in and of itself.
...
Alright but here's what actually went down, in a nutshell.
Galacta: So how's life
Meta: Fine enough, I suppose. Is there any particular reason you're here, Galacta?
Vul, interrupting: Wait, Galacta? Isn't that the guy you're always talking about?
Meta: I don't always talk about him-
Vul, interrupting again: Sure you do! You're always talking about him! You said he shops at Costco cause he thinks it's a better deal, even though it's not, according to you. And you said he's always scared of running out of supplies, so he buys a lot of stuff and that's why he has a fridge full of Costco chicken salad.
Galacta: Wow Meta, I thought we were friends but apparently you talk about my shopping habits behind my back.
Meta: ...
Galacta: Costco is a better deal, by the way.
Meta: ...No, Walmart is.
Galacta: WHAT? ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME?
Meta: Fight me.
[Full on battle ensues to the point where the rest of the crew just lands the ship and then shoves the two of them outside so they don't destroy the Halberd]

Sword and Blade set the Wheelies free one time. Whereas Wheelies are like, the main power supply...yeah. After realizing their mistake, they both just stole Wheelies and jumped off the Halberd Kirby-style, leaving the rest of the crew to try and make an emergency landing. This is why they are not considered part of "the Halberd crew".

Javelin Knight is Javelin Knight, and has not contributed to any of the chaos or mishaps on the Halberd. Ever. No wonder he gets such good paychecks.


There will probably be a lot more dumb antics I'll think of as I continue to write and stuff, but for now this is what there is.

In short...
-Vul crash count: 3 (4, if you include the fire he caused)
-Sailor Dee always puts up wet floor signs now (too many, in fact. Everyone keeps tripping over them).
-King Dedede can apparently break an entire wing on his own.
-It's Meta Knight's fault they don't have a microwave anymore.
-Mace Knight + Axe Knight = constant arguing that usually winds up in something (or someone) getting thrown out the window.
-It's Trident Knight's fault they don't have a radio anymore.
-Axe Knight is the cause of at least 60% of their problems. Vul is the other 40%.
-Kirby + Vul flying the Halberd = instant panic-induced crash.
-Meta Knight and Magolor continue to argue over everything, what else is new.
-Halberd now has a "press in case of Galacta Knight" button, which does absolutely nothing but is there for a placebo effect and the funnies, anyway. If only the button could put the ship in a crystal prison, how funny and cruelly ironic would that be.
-Sword and Blade are shunned by the other knights, probably.
-Javelin Knight is a good boi.
