Rise of the Dark Matter

Chapter One: Gone and back

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your...

"Oh isn't that beautiful? Kirby needs to see this!" It was the only night of the year when the stars looked so large and plentiful in the dark sky. Fumu and Bun had been on the hill watching the sky and waiting for the small pink puffball to come bounding up the hill. Soon it came apparent that this wasn't going to happen, "Where is he, Sis? He's going to miss it!" Fumu shrugged, "Maybe he's at his house. Let's go get him." After the defeat of Nova everything had been peaceful except the occasional small attack by Dedede that failed every time, "Kirby!" The fact that Kirby wasn't there could be an innocent reason. He could just have fallen asleep or be eating something.

Even though this could be the case, the girl was slightly worried; Kirby had been gone all day and seen by nobody. This was very unlike the young Star Warrior who was usually so social to the villagers, there was never a time when he was just gone. Now Kirby's small house came into view; its windows were dark and the door looked shut. It wasn't as Fumu found out when she was able to merely push it open, "Kirby?" No Kirby, just a destroyed bedroom. Pictures on the ground, furniture overturned, and the bed practically torn apart. With a gasp Fumu backed out of the small house, "Bun…" Bun at this time was finally getting a chance to see inside, "What happened?" his sister backed up farther before turning around and running.

Since it was that special night with beautiful scenery, many of the Cappies were purchasing to-go plates from Kawasaki. This was going on since hours earlier and Marx was tired from running back and forth in and out of the kitchen. The stars being described sounded beautiful and he wanted to see them too, but instead he was stuck with Kawasaki who claimed, "It won't be much longer now. Once everyone is served I might close so we can go check out the view." This theory was cut down by Marx, "The cop has been in here five times, we're never going to serve everyone like this." This didn't upset Kawasaki at all and he started humming instead.

Then something happened that wasn't intended.

A loud crash as something skidded across the roof and crashed behind the restaurant, "What in the-" "Hey! What was that!" Kawasaki cut off Marx's swear and ran out the back door to see what happened. There was a crater in the backyard that wasn't there before. Inside the crater was a beautiful large crystal with beautiful shades of blue and purple that sparkled even though it was dark, "Well isn't that…" He was about to say how pretty the gem was until he noticed a glowing light in the crystal itself, "What's going on?" Marx finally got out the door, after retracting his wings which had once again appeared and kept him from running outside. The chef merely pointed at the light.

The light in the crystal got brighter and brighter before suddenly dissipating and leaving in its place a figure. She was small with pink hair and thin wings that were as limp against her back as she was on the ground. Kawasaki, being a very nice and concerned individual, immediately asked Marx to help him get her inside. They set her on Marx's bed and looked her over, other than a small cut on her palm she looked fine. It was a few minutes before her eyes slowly started to open, "where am I?" Marx spoke, "You're in Kawasaki's restaurant. You crashed your… Crystal outside." She sat up, "Am I on Pop Star? Do you know Kirby?" she demanded and the other two glanced at each other.

"Of course. Kirby comes by here all the time." Kawasaki explained to the panicked fairy, "I'm Kawasaki, this is Marx." He introduced as she struggled to get up, "I'm Ribbon." Ribbon said this quickly before getting off the bed, steadying herself, and starting to exit the room, "I need to find my…" There was a sudden head rush and Ribbon stumbled backwards. Marx came to her aid, "I'll go get your crystal." And ran out back to pick it up. This was being done by him biting half of it and trying to drag it before attempting to use his wings as make-shift arms and drag in into the restaurant where Ribbon picked it up, it decreased in size when she touched it and was easy to pick up.

At this time there was the sound of footsteps and Fumu ran in, "Kirby is gone!" Marx blinked a few times as the loud voice was screamed right beside him, "What? Kirby's gone?" At this Ribbon whimpered, "They already got him." She looked on the verge of tears while the blond girl was horrified, "Who? What got him?" her answer was almost whispered, "Dark Matter took over my planet again… Last time Kirby stopped them and we thought it was over but… We were wrong. They came back stronger then before and have swallowed the planet whole. I came as fast as I could to find Kirby and warn him that the Dark Matter might be after him too, but it seems I was too late."

"It only makes sense that they would want revenge against the one who destroyed their leader before."

Everyone looked over at the window above Marx's head where Meta Knight stood on the window, "For the love of- Stop doing that Blirby, it's bad enough people are falling from the sky!" Meta Knight ignored this quote from the purple creature and continued, "After Kirby defeated Zero he returned as Zero Two and took over Ripple Star, he must have returned again as even an even more grotesque monster. Back to destroy Kirby and regain rule." Marx groaned, "What's with all these bad guys and their horrible transformations? Can't they just stay dead?" Meta Knight and Fumu both sent him exasperated looks and he looked at them innocently, "What? Something I said?"

Ribbon shook her head, "there's no hope now. The five of us that fought before will never be reunited." Kawasaki stopped her, "There plenty of hope! If we get the other four then Kirby can be rescued right?" The fairy looked downwards, "I'm here, yes, but I can't do anything. The Waddle Dee that was with us was undistinguishable, Adeline could be on the other side of the planet, and King Dedede…" Fumu's eyes widened, "King Dedede? He stopped the Dark Matter before?" Ribbon nodded, "You know him too?" "He's the king, he's probably up there in his throne room right now." This triggered her to start flying for the door, "I have to see him right away!"

Dedede leaned back in his throne and groaned, "Captain Waddle Doo!" Waddle Doo rushed in, "Yes Sir?" The King sighed, "Since Escargon is visiting his mother I need someone to do stuff for me, that's you. Fetch me some lemonade." The small brown creature nodded, "Okay. Normal or Pink?" "Blue. I know you can do it, Escargon used to do it." The snail had only been gone for a few days and he was acting as though it had been a few years, "get me some ice too! It's a hundred degrees in here!" At this Waddle Dee came back in, "There's someone who claims that she needs to talk to you. Her name is Ribbon." Dedede didn't recognize the name, "let her in."

Then as Waddle Doo exited Dedede suddenly remembered and stood up, "Oh no… Oh no! Not another adventure!" As he expected the small fairy flew in, "King Dedede!" "I'm not going on another crazy adventure with Kirby!" There was a nervous chuckle by Marx who was right behind her with the others, "you don't have to worry about that because he's not here." The bird raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?" Meta Knight stepped forward, "Kirby has been taken by Dark Matter. Ribbon's planet has also been retaken over and we worry that it will try to spread to more than one planet." At this point Dedede sighed, "I guess that I have to come along or you'll force me?"

"Yes."

"Fine Meta Knight, you win. I'm not doing this because I like Kirby, or you," he pointed at Meta Knight, "or you," he pointed at Fumu, "or especially you." He finally pointed at Marx, "I'm doing this because I want to get a good word in with the Queen fairy." Dedede grabbed his hammer from beside his throne, "So how does this whole thing work out?" Ribbon nodded and spoke, "Well, the old portals we opened with Kirby are still working and can be reopened. There's a portal in the woods on this planet, a portal on Rock Star in the desert, a portal on the beach on Aqua Star, a portal outside a factory on Shiver Star… That's it. If we can travel to those locations then we can get to my planet."

Now outside everyone stood ready to start the journey. Kawasaki was still with them, "I wish you guys the best of luck!" Fumu smiled, "thanks, we'll need it." Meta Knight was a little shocked, "You're coming?" She had a determined look, "Of course. Kirby is in trouble and I need to actually do something instead of hiding in the background." He nodded, "I understand, so it shall be you, Dedede, Ribbon, Sword, Blade-" "Blade came down with a head cold." Sword broke in. "Alright then. It's just us six." Marx looked around and recounted, "Wait, I'm not coming." Fumu crossed her arms, "Sure you are." Then ignored his protests. He leaned over to Kawasaki who was beside him, "This is because of that stupid monster coming back comment isn't it?" Kawasaki nodded, "Probably."

So Dedede, Ribbon, Meta Knight, Fumu, Sword, and Marx started towards the woods to… "Wait!" cried out Captain Waddle Doo as he ran out with his small sword in his hand, "I want to come too!" Marx shrugged, "Okay, as long as you don't act like him." He gestured to Dedede who glared, "Hey!"

So Dedede, Ribbon, Meta Knight, Fumu, Sword, Marx, and Captain Waddle Doo started towards the woods to find the portal to the next planet. To start a journey to save Kirby and maybe even the universe.

Mable: That's chapter one… Chapter two will be up soon! I hope you enjoyed!
