Double-0-K and Super Spy Kirby

Chapter One: Land of Nightmare

Far, far away in an unknown land…

It was a world full of darkness, where demons of all sorts roamed. There was no light anywhere, only darkness creeping around. No one had ever heard of this land, and no one would ever want to. Who could be in charge of all this? It was Nightmare, the darkest demon known to the universe.

Long ago, when Nightmare or the strange land never existed, everyone lived in peace and harmony in the Solar System of Dreams, all throughout the six planets known as Pop Star, Rock Star, Aqua Star, Neo Star, Shiver Star, and Ripple Star.

Down in Shiver Star lived a mad scientist who built an underground factory to conduct his experiments. He was tired after finishing his mutation processes on poor little innocent animals. He thought that he had finished all the mutating he needed, so he lay down on his very uncomfortable straw bed.

During the night, one of his test tubes that contained a leak spilled in his mouth when he was snoring, and he started to mutate into a hideous figure that looked like a pile of sludge, stuffed in the gutter. He then started to have peculiar dreams. Or should I say nightmares…

In his nightmare he was walking through the laboratory when something overcame him and he started to wreck up everything with his fists. When the spirit came out of him it started to form into what looked like yet another mutated demon. He had large horns and a big cape and was completely dark overall.

After looking at his own self, the demon stared at the mad scientist with an extremely angry look on his face. In a flash the nightmare flew toward him and killed him with a bunch of flying stars. After this, the nightmare used its powers to escape the dream. The mad scientist lay on his bed, still, but he was extremely scorched by a very hot substance. Everything that had happened in the dream had come true…he was dead.

I could go on with the tales of that demon, who eventually came to be known as Nightmare, but I have a different tale to tell…

In Nightmare's Domain…

"Quick! They're gaining on us!" one puffball said.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" another puffball spoke up.

Two puffballs were on a 00 mission, but they accidentally blew their cover and were trying to escape. Nightmare had sent four of his guards to chase after them. His guard's were all riding on a transport ship, which was rapidly getting faster and faster, almost close enough to capture the puffballs. The two puffballs were trying to reach the hanger so they could escape to anywhere, as long as it was far away from this place.

"They're getting way too close…" one of them said.

"OK, you know what to do…"

"I do? Oh yeah…3…2…1! Go!"

The two puffballs flipped backwards, making the guards think they were behind them, but really in the process of doing so they hid underneath the ship.

"Sir…" a guard said in a comm.-link. "They got away…."

"What? You fool!" Nightmare started. "Get back here quickly or else you'll get worse punishment!"

The ship started heading back and the two puffballs safely walked toward the hanger.

"I love doing that…" the first puffball's name was Josh, and the second puffball's name was Jacob.

"Don't get too worked out…they destroyed our planet and now we failed the assassination." Jacob said. "And we still haven't even gotten off this wretched world."

"Look on the bright side! We survived Nightmare's wrath!" Josh replied.

"Well where do you think we can go now?"

"Anywhere."

Those were the last words they said before they got into a cruiser, started up stealth mode, and blasted off into space. It had been several days before a planet appeared on their radar system. They were both tired and hungry, and close to death.

"I see a planet up ahead!" Josh choked out.

"Do you have to joke at a time like this?" Jacob just woke up from his sleep.

"I'm not joking! See for yourself!" Josh lifted Jacob up so he could see what was coming up.

"Look on the info screen and see if it's safe." Jacob said as he ended up doing it himself. "The planet's name is Pop Star…and consists of places that are safe…for instance Cappy Town. We should go there. It's a nice place filled with inhabitants known as Cappies. They are ruled by a king who lives in a nearby castle."

"Good enough for me! Time to put this thing into full gear!" Josh used the last of the ship's energy to go full speed.

"Wait! This kind of ship can't handle the speed!" Jacob tried to warn him, but he was too busy thinking off food.

From the ground a blazing figure could be seen rushing through the atmosphere. The ship had started to set on fire due to the intense speed and the part of the atmosphere they were in. Josh still had a blank look on his face, busy dreaming about food instead of worrying about how they would survive the landing. Jacob, being unable to reach Josh or the controls, almost jumped out the window because they only had a miniscule amount of time before they exploded.

Before that could happen, a pink puffball that looked the same as them appeared. He started to inhale the ship, and as soon as he got it to slow down, he let it drop.

Josh, now out of the trance, stepped outside the scorched cruiser and stared at the puffball that had saved him. Jacob leaped out after him.

"Poyo! Who are you?" Kirby was eight years older since he last had ventured out of Cappy Town.

Recognizing Kirby as one of their kind, Josh and Jacob spoke up.

"I'm Josh," he answered.

"And I'm Jacob. Nightmare had destroyed our planet recently and we were on a 00 mission to assassinate him."

"Unfortunately, they found us out and we recently escaped to here." Josh finished. "We are in desperate need of food."

"Alright!" Kirby said. "Come with me to Chef Kawasaki's kitchen and I'll show you around!"
