Chapter 1: New Attitude?
A day as any other, on a planet very far away known as Popstar, in a small town named Cappie Town, all the people in the town, who are known as Cappies, were very calm and relaxed that morning, but at the same time, occupied of their chores and works. However, a very loud noise of wheels stopping interrupted that morning of peace.
Then, in the middle of the plaza, a very peculiar limousine appeared. It was a limo with a convertible dark red roof, with a golden bumper, decorative mallets in the sides, green doors, front lights with the shape of hammers, and in the front it had a small golden statue of a penguin, which, in the opinion of everyone, was very ugly.
On the seats were two people. A purple snail with a round black green shell and a yellow mustache who was driving, and alongside him there was a fat blue penguin, who looked a little bit dumb, and was wearing a red winter coat, and his feet and beak were yellow. Then, the snail grabbed a megaphone which was resting on the side of his seat and started talking.
-Attention, subjects! King Dedede has a very important message.-Said the snail- All of those who want to go to Castle Dedede are more than welcome to come, since we are planning a celebration for...-Then, Dedede shoved him away with some violence and took the megaphone- Ow!
-Gimme that Escargoon. Yea, that's right, Cappies!-Said the King- I've decided to be more kind to y'all after so many troubles that I and Escargoon have caused in the past... Besides, we're all celebrating the XXI anniversary of castle Dedede, so, we are all gonna have a big celebration, and as an act of charity, I decided to invite y'all without having to pay for the entrance, or the food or any of those things... (In his thoughts) Though I will rise the taxes to recover some money, but I ain't telling them that.
All of the Cappies were completely speechless after seeing the king's generous offer and began to talk between themselves, to discuss Escargoon and Dedede's new attitude and about what to think of their invitation. Both of them looked really happy.
-Is that completely true, your highness?-said one of the Cappies. This one had a grey mustache, a brown jacket with a bow tie, and a brown top hat- Are you sure about this, your majesty?
-Of course it is, mayor Len!-answered Dedede.
-Isn't this another one of your evil plans?-asked a Cappie with a somewhat rude tone. He was wearing a dark blue police uniform with a pistol sheath in his belt, and was slightly chubby- Because if it is, your majesty...
-How dare you accuse the king of such crimes, Chief Bookem?!-said Escargoon- Your highness would never dare to betray anyone! Though, he would do worse things...
-Shut up, Escargoon!-said Dedede very angrily- I may have done real bad things and such in the past, but I've changed, and y'all know it.
-Hmp, yeah, right, Dedede.-replied a girl, who unlike the other Cappies, she actually had feet. She was wearing a one-piece outfit which was pink at the top and green at the bottom, both colors separated by a zigzag line, and her hair was made in a ornate pony tail held up by two orange and one purple clasp, and she also had quite an angry and serious expression in her eyes-You guys can't be serious. Do you really believe in anything this... This fat penguin has to say?
-(Laughter) Haha! "Fat Penguin"? Tiff, you surprise me.-Said a kid that came along with the girl. He looked a lot like her, and he was wearing a pair of purple shorts held up by a single red suspender, and his hair was yellow at the top and the tips were green, separated by a zigzag, and in comparison to the girl he was smaller- I've never heard you say a joke, much less an insult.
-Shut up, Tuff-She said- I'm in the middle of something here... Cappies, we must not fall for his lies never again. All the times he has betrayed us, all of those monsters from Nightmare Enterprises that he sent against us, and against Kirby, are very good reasons to NOT TRUST IN THEM! Especially in Dedede.
-Yes, you may be right, Tiff...-Said mayor Len-However, that invitation to the castle is something very nice from his part... I don't know what to think.
-No, mayor Len-said Cheif Bookem-, she is right. I mean, how many times didn't he trick us, or lied to us, or attacked us with those monsters? Like the first monster he sent against us. Don't you remember giant octopus? And he also did the same thing with the karaoke competition in the castle.
-That's right! How could I forget that?-said the mayor.
-Okay, okay, okay,-replied Dedede- alright, I'll admit, I... Excuse me, "We" have done some bad things in the past, though Escargoon has done more than me, and we're truly sorry for that, though I am more sorry than him, and we ask you to accept our apologies. Alright, Tiff?
-I don't believe a word you say, fatty. Prove it!
-Well, in the first place, "Nightmare Enterprises" no longer exists thanks to his majesty-Escargoon said, and when he finished saying that sentence everyone, except Dedede, looked at him angrily.
-Don't you mean that, Kirby, Sir Meta Knight and everyone on board the battleship Halberd were the ones who did it?-Replied Tuff very angrily.
-Remember that the king and I were also there, and we were in fact the first ones to get to Nightmare's central base.
-Yea, but only because you were hypnotized so you would take Tiff to him, and that doesn't count.
-Alright, alright, that's enough talk. We're only sayin' that y'all are invited to go to the castle, and that's it. What's so bad about that?-the fat guy... I mean, the king interrupted.
-Hmp, well then, go if you want to, I'm only saying the truth. Don't say I didn't warn you.-Tiff replied.
Then, her and Tuff walked away within the crowd, to which Escargoon and the king smiled. After the kids went elsewhere, Escargoon and Dedede handed out some propaganda for the party and left, leaving everyone confused and unable to think about this. Who would be best to listen to?
Meanwhile, in the castle the king was heading to, there was a mysterious round figure roaming the yards in the castle, whose face was covered by a circular silver mask which only showed bright and fearsome yellow eyes, wearing a dark blue cape with gold trimmings, metallic shoes and dark pauldrons. He was contemplating the horizon, remembering past events of his life. The wars he had fought, his enemies, the comrades he had lost, his arrival in Popstar and everything that had happened in the past few years.
-Hmm...-Said the mysterious figure- I can feel a presence... Something is about to happen... No! It's impossible. How can it be?
-Sir, what's wrong?-Asked a knight wearing a green suit of armor with a long helmet and red tassels at the tip, pink mouth guard, a golden visor, large shoulder pads and a blade in hand, who came alongside another knight in cyan armor, wearing a long helmet with three square dents, large shoulder pads and a brown chest with a grey stripe in the middle, holding a sword in his hand.
-Blade, Sword, something's happening... Something really bad. And I can feel it'll come to the village...-He said with an alarmed tone.
-Something bad, Sir Meta Knight?-Said Blade Knight- But what could it be? I mean, Kirby and all of us destroyed Nightmare and his base.
-That's right. Do you think he'll return?-Asked Sword Knight.
-I do not know. I have no idea if it's Nightmare or other forces... We must be alert and protect the castle... Among other things. Do not let your guard down.-Replied Meta Knight with severity.
-Yes, sir!-Said both Sword and Blade in unison, walking away and leaving Meta Knight alone.
-(Sigh) I wish I didn't have to lie to them... If I'm not mistaken... It certainly has been a while since our last encounter... Galacta Knight.-Meta Knight said in a severe tone, with his eyes looking at the horizon, as if he knew that far beyond Popstar, the person he mentioned was doing the exact same thing, and he knew it was true, and that he'd come soon...
