Chapter 1: When the Stars Come to Earth

(In outer space just outside the Milky Way)

The dark soul of a creature named Marx was weakly crawling out of a small crack in an asteroid floating in space. It was believed that Marx was destroyed by Kirby many years ago, but it turns out Marx's soul somehow survived, making Marx a ghost.

Marx- Damn that Kirby…he might've foiled my plans to control Popstar, destroyed Nova, and nearly destroyed me…but my spirit lives on…I may not have a physical body anymore…but I can still exact my revenge! Watch out, Kirby…because your head…will be on a platter soon…

(Planet Popstar)

Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff were having lunch at Chef Kawasaki's restaurant.

Kirby- And just as Tabuu was about to be sucked right back into Subspace, he shot out these energy strings and lassoed them onto Mario and Sonic. That was when the rest of us decided to make our move while we were still hidden. Ty threw one of his boomerangs and sliced right through those energy strings, saving Mario and Sonic. Then me, Ash's Pikachu, and Shantae fired a bolt of lightning while Link fired a sword beam and Pit shot a light arrow at Tabuu's other hand which was clinging to the ground. Then Donkey Kong lifted a huge bolder like it was a softball and scored a bullseye right at Tabuu's face! Knocking him into the portal as it closed behind him. Trapping the wicked god in Subspace where that dumbass belongs.

Tuff- Wow! That sounded like an amazing battle, Kirby!

Tiff- You must be honored to be part of such an amazing team of brave and strong heroes.

Kirby- Well, Shantae is a heroine actually, but yeah, it is an honor. Mario saved my ass before, so when Pit came to my house during the world merging, how could I say no?

Tiff- One thing that I don't understand. Sonic comes from another world. How is he still able to be part of the team with the worlds no longer merged?

Kirby- Before Mario returned the Star Rod to Star Haven, he persuaded the Star Spirits for a favor. There is a newly created dimension that exists beyond our realities called Smash City. It's our base of operation and it also acts as a bridge to one another since Ty gave all of us these wrist portal devices that can bring us to Smash City whenever we want. It's also how I'm able to keep in touch since I'm the only member of the team that's not from Earth. And in Smash City, there are a set of portals that are linked to the homeland of each of us. So anyone of the Super Mario Brothers' team can pop to Popstar in the blink of an eye.

Tiff- Building Smash City was a clever idea on Mario's part, but what about Tabuu doing something to mess with that place?

Kirby- You don't have to worry about that. We already made precautions for that. Mostly involving Shantae's genie magic, Sonic's chaos energy, Ty's technology, and some power from the Star Rod.

Tuff- So have you had any adventures with any of the other heroes since you all defeated Tabuu?

Kirby- Not yet. Believe it or not, setting up Smash City was not as easy as it sounded. For nearly a month none stop, we all were hard at work setting the place up. The portals to bring us to one another, the communicators, Ty's computer, and so much more was a lot of work. Thankfully, Mario and Luigi invited us to Pi'illo Island last week to help us relax. But…hahaha…the best part was Ty and Shantae crossdressing as each other after losing a bet!

Then Chef Kawasaki arrived at the table and placed three bowls of ramen on the table. Tiff and Tuff were eating like normal, but Kirby ate his ramen in one gulp.

Tiff- Watch the way you eat, Kirby! You might get sick if you eat like that.

Tuff- Kirby's stomach is a bottomless pit. If nothing has happened to him yet, then I doubt it will ever happen.

(Kongo Jungle)

It was a peaceful night on Kongo Jungle. The sky was filled with shooting stars and most of the monkeys in the jungle were watching with amazement. Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong were sitting on the deck of Donkey Kong's tree house and enjoying the shooting stars.

Diddy Kong- This is quite a show.

Dixie Kong- It sure is beautiful.

Then the sound of heavy beat music began playing and that annoyed Diddy and Dixie a bit.

Diddy Kong- Donkey Kong, turn that down please! Dixie and I are trying to enjoy this!

Donkey Kong was inside his treehouse doing pushups while playing music on his boom box.

Donkey Kong- I'm just trying to get some exercise. We see stars in the sky just about every night.

Dixie- Hey, is it just me or is that one getting awfully close?

Suddenly, something fell from the sky and crashed somewhere in Kongo Jungle. Donkey Kong was doing a pushup while standing on one hand when it crashed and made the ground shake. Donkey Kong lost his balance and landed on his face.

Donkey Kong- What the hell was that?!

Diddy- I don't know, but I see smoke coming from nearby. We better check it out.

(At Candy Kong's house)

Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong arrived where Candy Kong's house once stood and Candy Kong was standing next to the wreckage in shock.

Donkey Kong- Candy?! Are you ok?!

Candy Kong- I'm not hurt, but my house is destroyed! I was just watching the shooting stars when one of them literally fell and crushed my home! Now where am I gonna live?!

Donkey Kong- I got it, babe! You can stay with me!

Candy slaps Donkey Kong in the face.

Candy Kong- Nice try, Donkey.

Then Diddy and Dixie Kong moved closer to the debris and noticed something glowing under the rubble.

Diddy- Hey DK, I think we found something.

Diddy and Dixie tried to see what it was, but they weren't strong enough to lift the debris. Luckily, Donkey Kong was. After Donkey Kong lifted the debris, they saw some kind of some glowing star shaped object.

Donkey Kong- What the hell is that?!
