Chapter 1

Hi! This is my first fanfic and it is my first Kirby fanfic, although Kirby won't be appearing in it.

The main characters are Sword and Blade, with Meta Knight and the rest of the gang with it. It will contain characters from both anime Kirby Right Back at Ya! and the Kirby games as well. Hope you enjoy, just no flames

"You! Get back here you little thief!"

"Nah nah!" was the only thing that U.K said as she ran from the merchants. Stealing from those losers was easy. Now all she had to do was get past the….

"Stop!"

…guards…

U.K did a bit of a skid before stopping before the armor giants. No doubt, they served the King Jūyōdenai alright, since they bear the kingdom's symbol. They were different than the normal guards though. These were heavily donned with armor all around them, with advanced weaponry. They were the king's best soldiers.

"Where do you think you're going, missy?"

"Umm..." was the only thing she could say before they stated, "You are under arrest for thievery from the people and the king!"

"All I done was steal some food!" That was true today.

"We have guards witnessing that they chased you with cloth material in your possession last week!" That part was also true.

U.K tried to turn back, but the guards have surrounded her completely. She attempted to find a weak spot in between the guards, but to no avail. She felt helpless as they circled her in unison. As they came closer to arrested her, U.K had a grin on her face as she thought of a plan.

She ran in front of one of the guards and he thrust a spear toward her in defense. She jumped onto the spear, on top of the head of the guard, and then behind him while darting off. Filled with shock, it took a while before all of the guards dashed after her. U.K saw this and turned into a narrow alley. Some of the guards went in, while others split up to see if they catch her on the other side.

Hah! They're falling for it, and if I'm right this should be a dead end…

U.K knew she couldn't outrun them, but she might be able to use them. She soon approached the dead end, and the guards behind merely laugh at her. U.K turned around to face them, saying "If you think I'm so dumb, come at me!" One of the guards grinned as he came toward her with handcuffs while the others stood and guarded the exit. As soon as he was close enough, she jumped backwards on the wall, then jumped off the wall, bounced off his head, and reached for the clothes lines hanging above.

She grabbed some of clothes line, swung around it like a gymnastic professional, and threw herself above on top of the building. The guards stood in awe, as she got away, without a way to chase her down.

"Ha! What a sorry bunch!" said the overconfident U.K. She was in her little cave that she called home.

In the cave, there was a bed-like pile of folded blankets near the corner with an unfolded blanket and a pillow on it, and a long red and purple blanket hanging on the wire.

On it showed a royal crest, but it didn't belong to the king in this land. It was a common shield shape with the edges on the pointy ends curved up. It also appeared to have horns on top. There was also a ribbon like picture on the bottom, with the words "YIN" written on it, wrapping around the shield. There was also a silleoute of a sword, with two pointy stars on each side. One was light, the other was shaded in.

Other than those two things, there were some clothing hanging up and different weapons scattered around which U.K can't wield but pilfered anyway.

She came into the cave and sat on her bed, with her loot: an apple, two peaches, a carrot, some bread, a block of cheese, and an onion. There really was nothing else, and sometimes she could get more than double the amount. If it wasn't for that merchant being so suspicious, she would have a whole bagful of goodies.

Sighing, U.K dined in on part of her loot, put the rest away and went outside the cave. The cave was almost to the mountain base; it was about 15 feet from the base. It was not very big, so nobody ever found it but U.K. It was nice and located under the starry sky where nothing can bother her here. There some small patches of tree clusters around the cave as well. It was an odd place to look, considering that nobody would be looking for a cave in the middle of a forest

Stretching under the night sky, U.K looked to the glowing city that was visible through a man-made hole of the trees, which the city was about half a mile away from the base of the mountain. That was too close today. The king must not be fooling around anymore, with those heavyset guards. I almost didn't get away…what was that?

Her thoughts trailed toward some of the trees in the nearby vicinity. They were moving as if someone was moving through it. Whatever it was, it was too close to her for comfort. U.K quickly moved back into the back of her cave and hid behind a clutter of stuff. She waited for a while, and after a good 30 minutes, she peeked over her hiding place. Nothing.

It must have been a very fat animal. Bears are common around here, but still, it didn't seem like one… She started toward the entrance of the cave, and looked around as she walked. Nothing. She edged close to the entrance and surveyed the outside area. Nothing. Finally, U.K went outside the cave and watched the trees around the entrance. Nothing.

"That's… odd. Must have been my imagination"

"Nah, you were right."

U.K quickly turned to see a giant male warrior, blending in with the shadows. The most noticeably things about him were his silver mask and spikey yellow hair. She was so frightened, especially when something behind reached around and grabbed her while putting a rag to her face. When U.K realized the situation, she squirmed and struggled as much as she could, but for some reason she felt very weak and blackness conquered her vision.

"Um, Sir?"

The captain turned quickly to the warrior, with eager blue eyes, which surprised the warrior. Jerca wasn't used to the commander so happy and eager to hear a report. However, Sir Arthur probably knew already with all the security cameras on the ship.

They were in Sir Arthur's personal office, which Jerca hardly ever went unless he was getting scolded. It had a basic desk, a bed in the corner of the room, a huge bookcase and file cabinet behind the desk, and two chairs in front of the desk. Part of the room was raised a bit from the normal level, in which it was accessed by a small set of stairs. On the raised level of the room, there was a huge table with a clutter of stuff on it. Arthur was at this table, probably organizing the stuff on it when Jerca came in. However, due to the circumstances, Jerca stayed by the door.

"Yes, Jerca? I understand that you found the young girl?" said Sir Arthur with pleased expression.

"Yep. We've also gathered all the items from her…cave."

"Wonderful! Are there any items that were found which might be of interest?"

"Not really. Just some random weapons and blankets hanging around, with some spare articles of clothing. There is something weird though with this blanket."

Jerca unfolded a long red and purple blanket for the commander to see. It was about as long as him when he reached it up above his head to show it to Arthur. Jerca couldn't quite tell what the commander's expression was about the blanket since he couldn't see past the thick blanket.

"You see, Sir Arthur, it has a crest on it, but it didn't belong to the king of the land. We checked it with the nobles under the king to see if it matches, but we have no luck yet."

"I see…."

That was the only response for Jerca as he continue holding up the blanket, partially wishing he could put his arms down as they were getting sore.

"Umm…sir?"

"Ah! Sorry Jerca, you may place it on the desk beside you."

Jerca pseudo folded the blanket and laid it on the desk as he continued, "We thought it was nothing at first, but apparently this girl stole more than just this blanket from this noble family."

Jerca could tell this caught the attention of Arthur; which was strange to Jerca. It wasn't like Arthur was the one to show his emotions much.

"Apparently, she has a bracelet on with the same crest on."

"May I see the bracelet, Jerca?"

There was a bit of silence in the room till Jerca said, "Uh…that might be a problem. We couldn't figure out how to get it off her wrist. It doesn't slide off like the normal ones. Shall we just cut it off sir?"

"No! That will not be necessary Jerca! Is that all?" said Arthur, who looked like he was going to have a panic attack. This struck as another odd thing with Arthur, well, as least to Jerca. However, he didn't dare speak up.

"Yes sir, but we are still looking into some of the items she had."

"Then you may be excused."

Jerca did a quick bow before leaving the office into the hallway. Before he left, Jerca heard, "Also, keep an eye on the girl. See if you can get any kind of information from her."

Information? What is this girl to Arthur? As a matter of fact, why is he acting so strangely? Jerca thought about this as he left the office and went to the prison area.
