It had been almost 2 years since Nightmare, and almost everything had gone back to what everyone assumed was normal. King Dedede seemed to complain more than usual about nearly everything but that as most likely because the Demon Beasts from Holy Nightmare had been his leading form of entertainment. Now he just kind of sat around, yelled at the villagers, and hung around in his throne room, pushing the button on his key pad that was supposed to make Customer Service show up. However, all that greeted his was static.

Everyone else in Pupu Village seemed to have fallen into stride with not having to worry about being attacked by a demon beast every week. It seemed as if nothing had ever happened. At least… until a ship crash landed right outside Whispy Woods.

It happened before anyone knew it happened. There was a flash, like an atomic bomb being set off, and then the sound of metal churning up dirt as the ship slowed to a stop.

Fumu, Bun, and Kirby were in the village when it happened it happened. Fumu and Bun glanced at each other as if to say, 'Oh, no. Not again,' they, along with a whole lot of other people ran as fast as they could to a steaming and dented ship that slightly resembled Silica's ship, only it was a piercing shade of black. The nose of the ship was half buried under a mound of dirt and was covered in long and deep scratches.

The hatch opened, letting out a cloud of acrid smoke that caused everyone. A woman stumbled out of the ship, couching and hacking. When the smoke cleared, everyone got a good look at her.

She was like a wolf, covered in sleek black fur and her ears twitched with every sound that met them. A long, black, puffy tail swayed behind her as she examined her surroundings.

Fumu could hardly understand how this wolf lady could look so calm. She looked terrible. Blood matted her fur almost everywhere. Her arm was splinted with a piece of broken wood that was hardly doing its job. The bone jutted out for her skin hideously. She looked as if she had been wearing a dress, but the bottom of it had been replaced by burned and muddy cargo pants. The upper half of her would-be dress seemed to have had the sleeves completely ripped off which turned it into a tank top. It looked as if it had used to be white, but now it was a dark brownish grey, with a ruddy stain on it that looked a lot like blood.

Meta Knight, Sword a Blade seemed to appear at Fumu, Bun, and Kirby's side out of nowhere, swords drawn, "Where did she come from?" Sword mused, as much to his companions as to himself.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Blade replied.

Fumu stepped up to the ship, "Excuse me? Who are you?"

"I'll tell you in a minute. Gimmee a sec to get my bearings," she said pulling a large duffel bag out of the ship's hatch and tossing it on the ground.

Blade stepped up to the bag and nudged it with his sword.

"Buddy, touch that bag again and my claws are going to meet your face," she growled without turning around. Her hand reached over her back to a sword that was almost as long as her and pulled it out. It glistened menacingly as she turned around to face the Cappy's.

"Ok then," she said, her voice hard, but polite, "Which one of you asked me who I was?"

Fumu nervously stepped forward, "I did,"

Her face softened as she put the sword away "I'm Rin. You mind telling me which ball of dirt I crash landed on?"

Meta Knight stepped forward, "This is Pop Star. What is your business here?"

"That depends. Does accidentally crash landing on an unfamiliar planet count as business? No? Well then I guess I don't have business here." She hopped off her ship, and her leg buckled under her. Gritting her teeth, she spoke again, "But… my arm is fractured pretty badly, I have a bit more than cuts and bruises, and I think my leg is dislocated," Rin tried to stand, but plopped back onto the grass when she heard a popping sound coming from her left leg, "Yeah, something's not right in that leg."

Suddenly, everyone heard the revving of a car. King Dedede's jeep scattered the crowd in a matter of seconds, "Move it! Move it! What's the matter with everyone?!" then he saw the crippled wolf leaning up against her ship, "What are you doing here?"

Rin sighed, "Didn't I just establish that I'm only here by some freak chance of nature?"

Meta Knight stepped up to the king, "Sire, this woman is in critically injured. I am asking you to allow her space in your castle,"

"Ha! And Why would I do that?" the king scoffed

"Trust me, I don't need your help," she growled, "I'd rather have a doctor than a king mending my bones,"

The king scoffed, and hopped back into his jeep, which was driven by a large snail with green goatee. It was about now that a bit of the crowd around began to disperse until only Fumu, Bun, Kirby, and the three knights remained.

"You really should see a doctor," Fumu said to Rin, "We have one it town,"

"Good, now, if you don't mind waiting a second…" she took her sword, sheath and all, used it as a temporary crutch. But gestured towards her duffel bag, "What do you want to do with that?"

"I got it," Blade said, hoisting onto his shoulder

"If anything in there gets damaged, you'll be paying for it with your head,"

"Ok, ok, we get the point. Be careful," Blade sighed, and they slowly made their way towards the village.

Rin left Dr. Yabui's looking a bit better than she had when had landed on Pop Star. Her arm had been stitched up and splinted properly as had her leg. Chest was bandaged from her collar bone to her stomach. The blood was washed off of her face and she was walking with a proper crutch. It was twilight now, and Kirby had left for bed. Meta Knight, Sword and Blade disappeared somewhere, leaving Fumu and Bun with Rin. Blade had left the duffel bag outside of Yabui's office after yet more threats from Rin.

"Where are you going to be staying?" Bun asked

"I was about to ask the same question," Rin asked, Fumbling with her newly done pony tail

"Bun! Of course she'll be staying in the castle!" Fumu said

"She will?"

"I will?"

"Yes! There's an old guest room that the king never uses. He'll never know you're here and you'll have a place to stay until you're well enough,"

"Suite's me," Rin shrugged, "Anything's better than being crammed inside a miniscule spaceship for 4 days," And so she let Fumu and Bun lead her to her knew, temporary home."
