[Fan fiction readers! Hey! I am Kalgante. I have written a number of other stories before this but thanks to me becoming a fan of Hoshi no Kaabi/ Kirby right back at ya I find myself wanting to write a story for it. I like things about both versions and you will find me mixing them around a bit. Anyway, read and enjoy]
A lone pod drifted through the desolate void of space. It was large for what it was but seemed to have nobody aboard. Instead, there were machines, all operating at pique performance despite a lack of maintenance. The only sound was a soft hum emitting from an unknown source and the only light was from a glass cylinder attached to several other machines. It's source appeared to be a small light green sphere.
There was suddenly a loud, shrieking beep. After a moment the sphere within the cylinder began to stir, only slightly. The alarm however was a result of the pod being acted upon by an outside force, in this case it had been captured in the gravity well of a nearby planet and was being dragged towards it.
For a small town of the planet's denizens it was early morning with people just awakening to greet the day… or just return to sleep. A key figure of this tiny place was a large castle built of yellow stones. Within it's walls lived a number of people, though the vast majority were simply servants and guards.
Of everyone within the castle however, there was only one who often awoke eager to greet the day. This was a young girl with her skin and hair both of a light yellow. Her hair was tied in purple and orange clasps to form a long pony tail. Her outfit was a one piece of pink and green combination separated by a zigzag with green at the bottom. her shoes were orange and here eyes green.
The girl was quick to make her bed, grab a pink backpack. And make her way out into the dining room where the scent of pancakes emanated from.
"Morning" said the girl as she took her seat at the table.
Aside from her there were two others at the table enjoying their own breakfasts. One was a light orange skinned woman wearing a purple dress and orange scarf. Her makeup consisted of pink eyeliner and darker pink lipstick. She also wore a set of green ball ear rings.
The other was a yellow skinned man wearing a purple shirt with white cuffs and collar as well as a pair of light brown pants. He wore a red bowtie and his hair and moustache were both of a light purple.
"Good morning Tiff… say, do you know if your brother's awake?" asked the Mother.
"No, I haven't seen him yet today" Tiff responded.
"Hey, you guys, come take a look at this!" shouted the voice of a young boy.
When the family looked they seen a light orange skinned boy with green edged hair hanging over his eyes, a pair of green shoes, and a pair of purple pants held up by a single red suspender.
"What is it Bun?" asked the father.
"Just come look!" said the boy as he made his way to the balcony.
The three at the table looked at one another then rose up to follow the boy.
Once there they found the Boy looking up to the sky. Following his lead the other three had done the same to see a bright light moving in the sky.
"It looks like a shooting star" said Bun.
"I'll be right back" said Tiff quickly as she made her way back inside.
She immediately opened her backpack and removed a set of binoculars, then returned to the balcony. Looking thorough the lenses, she still couldn't see the object perfectly but behind the bright light she could see a vague metallic shape.
"Guys, I don't think that's a shooting star" said Tiff.
"What? Let me see" demanded Bun as he snatched the binoculars away from his sister.
"Bun" Tiff said annoyed.
Looking through binoculars Bun could see the shape of something behind the bright flames as well.
"Hey, I think you're right sis. That kinda looks like a space ship" said Bun
"Yea" Tiff replied.
"Another one?" asked the father somewhat alarmed.
"Pupu land sure seems to get them a lot" said the mother.
"We'd better go check it out sis" said Bun.
"Yea, let's go get Kirby too" said Tiff as she and Bun turned to leave.
"Bun, Tiff, what about your breakfast?" the father asked.
"We'll eat when we get back" said Tiff
Elsewhere, in a small white, dome shaped house beside a tree on a hill there were others who took notice of the light as well… well, one anyway.
"Kirby, Kirby!" shouted a yellow bird to a little blue eyed pink ball of a creature.
Other traits about him were two stubby little arms, rosy red cheeks and big red feet. In response to the birds intense shouting and prodding the little pink ball's eye's opened.
"Get up gumball and look at this, there's something weird in the sky" explained the bird.
Kirby rolled up onto his feet and walked over to the window. With droopy eyes he looked up to be surprised at the bright light in the sky.
"Poyo?" he said.
"I'll say. What do you think it is?" the bird asked.
"Poyo" Kirby responded.
"Why am I even asking you?" the bird asked.
"Kirby, Tokkori… oh, have you guys already seen it?" Tiff asked.
"If you mean that light, we sure have" replied the bird.
"Well Bun and I think it's a space ship, it looks like it's going to crash. C'mon!" Tiff beckoned.
Kirby was quick to move over to her.
"Wait a minute, what if it's someth'n dangerous, you're just gonna run over to it?" Tokkori asked.
"You don't have to come if you're to scarred. C'mon you two" said Tiff.
Kirby poyoed in agreement and they took off.
"What! Hey wait!" Tokkori shouted and flew out the window after them.
Back at the castle was another denizen, curious about this object falling from the sky. Standing on a high stone balcony of the castle, it was another ball shaped creature, he was donned in a silver mask with a wide slit for his yellow eyes to see though. He also wore a dark blue cape, silver and gold pauldrons, and a pair of purple shoes.
Behind him stood two other figures clad in armor. One wore a long blue green helmet, blue green pauldrons, blue green shoes and a brown and black leather shirt.
The other wore a light green and gold helmet with similarly colored pauldrons, a pink faceguard, white gloves, blue shirt, and brown leather shoes.
"What do you think it could be Meta Knight? Another ship?" asked the long helmed knight.
"Perhaps" the knight in blue replied.
"Think we aught to go investigate?" the pink masked knight asked.
"I noticed Tiff and Bun leaving the castle, I imagine they have already gone to do so. We can leave it to them for now. I will follow shortly" Meta Knight replied.
The band of four followed the plummeting object as best they could, though it was difficult to tell where it was bound to land. Regardless, it was closer now and would make impact shortly. This of course was not the first space craft this land had seen. In the past there had been several others, including Kirby. Though a couple had been hostile they all turned out to be misunderstood and friendly in the end.
Eventually the field had come to a forest, from what Tiff could judge, the vessel was bound to crash somewhere in here. Regardless, the group stopped, wondering what to do next.
"Well… from what I can tell, the ship's going to hit somewhere in here. We can wait here until it hits. When it does, Tokkori can fly up and tell us where it landed. Then we can follow him" Tiff explained.
"What? Why am I the one doing all the work?" Tokkori asked.
"You just need to tell us where it crashes. We'll all go in when you tell us where it is" Tiff explained.
"Fine, I'll do it. Where would you all be without me" said Tokkori as he flew up above the trees.
Meta Knight waited from his own vantage point. He was more cautious about this than the others. He would follow them in and wait nearby, just in case. He mostly just wanted to understand the situation.
It was not a long wait before the waiting would end. As Bun began to grow curious about weather or not his friends in town were seeing this it happened. The thunderous crash of metal hitting ground, though everyone was expecting it, it still surprised most of them. Tokkori was quick to return to the group with his news.
"I found it, this way, c'mon!" he said eagerly.
The others were quick to follow the bird towards the crash. Tiff wondered for a moment if someone may have even survived that. Of course every other crash had survivors so this one likely would as well. After a little trek through the forest the group could smell smoke, the crash was very near to them. Only a little further and there it was. There suspicions had been confirmed, it was definitely a craft of some sort, though it didn't look very space worthy. It was surprising to no how little damage it had taken despite the damage to the trees. The group moved over to investigate. It was in the shape of a large capsule, yet it didn't seem to have an opening of any sort.
"Whoa, never seen a ship like this before" said Bun.
He attempted to reach out and touch it but the heat he felt just from approaching it was intense enough to turn him away. Kirby investigated it from all sides out of his own curiosity.
"What kinda space ship is this, it aint got no wings, it don't even have a door" said Tokkori.
Tiff just observed it, waiting to see what would happen. Bun however found the wait to be somewhat frustrating, he couldn't get near it to touch it and absolutely nothing else was happening. As a result, he had managed to locate a handful of rocks and chucked a few against the object.
"Bun! what do you think you're doing!" Tiff asked furiously.
"Waking it up" Bun replied ready to throw another.
"Bun, stop that!" Tiff demanded as she stood up and grabbed his hand.
Just as she did so the pod began to eject air blowing Kirby off his feet and Tokkori out of the air due to their proximity. Kirby rolled into a sitting position And watched as the capsule began to open.
As it did so it began to appear less like a ship and more like a computer lab. It was large enough for at east three people to work in. everyone simply watched as it finished it's process but were quickly drawn to another feature. Large glass cylinder filled with what appeared to be white smoke, or fog. In moments that too began to open, releasing the substance into the air. Before it cleared however they could notice slight movement within it and the outline of a figure that had take a sitting position. As the fog cleared the figure appeared more and more.
the first thing they noticed were two legs that lacked feet and instead, ended in round ball like things. When the fog cleared they found it was a creature, white as snow. It had a body like Tiff and Bun's with arms that ended in hands. It's head was supported by a short neck and the head its self was much like their own though it had black markings beneath it's eyes and on it's knuckles as well as two wide protrusions on the sides of it's head that somewhat resembled an animal with it's ears down. It's eyes were close but it rubbed one with it's left hand.
Everyone stared silently at the newcomer but Tiff was the first to speak to it.
"Are you alright sir?" Tiff asked.
The creature slowly opened it's eyes. They turned out to be of a light blue color.
"Huh?" it asked, sounding like it was half asleep.
"I asked if you were ok, your ship just crashed" said Tiff.
The creature looked around at the machine he was sitting on.
"My what?" the creature asked, it's voice sounded male.
"Your ship" said Tiff growing a bit confused.
The creature looked around, even more confused that Tiff.
"This was mine? I was on a ship?" the creature asked.
Tiff stared at it confused and unsure what to say to it.
"Do you know how long you were asleep?" Tiff asked.
"Huh? I wasn't asleep" said the creature.
"Jeez, what's with this guy Tiff, think he might have hit his head or something" said Bun.
"Or maybe he's just dumb, aha ha ha" said Tokkori.
The creature looked up at Tokkori, he appeared upset.
"Tokkori leave him alone!" Tiff demanded.
"Poyo poyo" said Kirby walking up to the creature.
The creature looked down at him curiously.
"So… who are you people?" the creature asked.
"I'm Tiff, that's my Brother Bun, that's our friend Kirby and that's Tokkori" Tiff explained.
"Hmm…" said the creature.
"So who are you?" Tiff asked.
The creature looked back in thought.
"Reverie… I think" said the creature.
"Reverie Reverie!" said Kirby excitedly.
Reverie looked down at the little pink ball and smiled.
What brings you here Reverie?" Tiff asked.
Reverie fell silent again and looked down, thinking to himself.
"Umm… I don't know" said Reverie.
"I see… I didn't want to ask but are you feeling alright. You really don't know anything about what's going on?" Tiff asked.
"No… not that I can think of… there's some things I guess. I can't piece them together though" Reverie replied.
"Hmm… well, do you want to come back to Cappy Town with us, maybe we can help you figure everything out" suggested Tiff.
"Hmm… ok" Reverie accepted.
"Poyo!" Kirby shouted excitedly.
"Looks like Kirby wants to hang out with you too" said Tiff.
"Ha ha, this is gonna be great I'll show you all the fun stuff you can do here" said Bun.
Reverie smiled and stood up, standing slightly shorter than Tiff. Then the group immediately made their way back towards town.
As soon as they were gone Meta Knight dropped out of the tree he was waiting in and approached the lab of the pod. The pod, now a lab was open to the outside from the front and right sides. The back and left sides formed walls with several large terminals built in . there was a slight roof overhead. The capsule that Reverie was in was cushioned at the bottom, likely to serve as a bed. It was obvious that this pod was not meant for space travel. It looked more like a portable lab, meant for use on ground rather than space. There were a few lights flickering from the machines and everything appeared functional.
Meta Knight was most interested in the terminals. He approached one and pressed a few keys though nothing happened. After a bit of experimenting it was clear that these were not going to turn on. Not for him anyway. Instead, he turned his attention to the various pieces of machinery connected to the capsule. A few cables and tubes connected to it. There appeared to be several slots that were once connected to something else but no longer served any purpose.
This lab bothered the Knight, there was too much he didn't know about it. Maybe it was nothing, just an alien's research. But if that were the case, why did this Reverie know so little about any of it. It had been a month since the troubles Nightmare had created had come to an end. He didn't want any more. For now however, he had no other option but to leave the pod behind, whatever it was, he would find out eventually. He knew he could only wait and accepted it as he left the tiny lab behind.
[How was it? Good? Bad? Get the hell off of fan fiction? Anyway I have this thing I like to do where I take OC's for the first stories I make in each section. So, if you have someone you'd like to add feel free. I would prefer to keep other Kirby's out of it so we can keep Kirby unique as himself. You can try I suppose but depending on how they are I'll not likely use them, still, you can try. Anything else though works just fine so send em' on in
