It was a peaceful day in Dream Land. The trees were graceful and mighty, the flowers were colorful and popped out of the ground like popcorn, the water was a sparkling blue, the sun was glowing bright, and the air was as clean as a freshly scrubbed window.
But perhaps the best part of this wonderful place was that everyone was happy.
Well, sadly not everyone.
Dream Land's ruler, King Dedede, was standing on the balcony of his castle, looking rather glum. Usually he would be inside his castle, eating, sitting on his throne, yelling orders at his Waddle Dees, and so on. But today he was spending time alone.
His physical appearance was also quite different. He normally wore a bright red robe with a peace sign on the back, along with golden yellow gloves, a red crown with a gold border and white pompom on top, and a zigzag stomach belt thing over a tan one piece tank top. He was currently wearing a dusty brown coat with a gray shirt underneath, a pair of old jeans, and beige gloves. And he never took off his crown for so long it somehow fused to his head and permanently became part of him.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore," Dedede whispered to himself. "Every time I try to be nice to them, they just... they make fun of me... and then... and... then..."
Dedede's speech was interrupted by sniffles and sobs. Tears ran down his face as he tried to get the words out of his mouth. It then began raining. A storm was coming near.
A little while later, Dedede felt better and decided to listen to calming music. But 15 minutes in, he heard a tornado warning sound coming from his device. He ran towards the balcony to get a closer look, and sure enough there was a tornado headed straight for the castle.
The king panicked and called his Waddle Dees down to the dungeon, but then...
WHOOSH! CRASH! BAM! The tornado smashed through the castle and picked up Dedede and all his Waddle Dees before they could make it, and the force of the wind scattered them all across the planet. Dedede couldn't tell where he was going, but he felt himself plunge into a forest.
Then, everything went dark.
