(This is my first story, a story in the Kirby Universe. Everything related to Kirby and Kirby himself belongs to Nintendo. There are one or two characters I MIGHT bring in under my own imagination. But definitely one. It's also a kind of Kirby 64 fan-based, imaginative story. So enjoy!)
Chapter 1: Two heroes, not one:
A dark threat has begun to take over Kirby's Universe. On Pop Star, crops wilted, and life seems barren and empty. Ripple Star has evil fairies, more than the good fairies, that are willing to destroy the Star. Aqua Star's waters are toxic, and their beaches filthy. Shiver star experiences Global Warming as snow no longer falls, and the snow on the ground is melting. Rock Star's deserts are turning into jungles, and the temple is starting to disintegrate.
But the last Star on the chart's is the Geo Star (1), AKA Earth. Pop Star residents refer to the Earth as Geo Star. When they see a Geo Starling (AKA a human), they just refer him or her as a Geo Starling, rather than an Earthling. But... what could be wrong HERE? (To be found out in the future.)
Kirby will not be able to do this unassisted. He gets a visit from Ribbon one day.
"Kirby, I'm doubting that you can suceed this time. Even if we gather this new jewel shard, something called Onyx, how are we going to beat the true enemy? We don't even know where he is!"
Kirby heard her words, went outside, and started constructing a star platform. Ribbon looked at Kirby, confused. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Just building a platform for a visitor to land on," Kirby said. Within the hour, the platform was constructed. Soon after, they saw a shooting star.
Ribbon made her wish, to find the Onyx Shards, even without the help of Kirby's "Visitor." What was Kirby's wish?
I wish... this visitor came from the far-off Geo Star!
Geo Star, AKA Earth, is where Brett (He prefers the name Skiler) lives now. Unaware of the future, he just went to bed after finishing playing a Kirby game.
It was a dark, fierce planet, known as Earth. But it seemed impossible to Brett. He ran away as a toxic snowstorm tried to impale him, but the cold soon froze him. An entity (2) appeared, looking at Brett menacingly.
And the entity before him howled with laughter.
Brett awoke, screaming like a madman. He made short, heavy breaths. This was worse than his gaming nightmare, where he was juggled by a ghost.
He had somehow awoke on top of a platform in the shape of a Star. His head was spinning from the new atmosphere.
Beside him were two others: A fairy and a round, pink puffball with little arms. The fairy tapped Brett against the head to get his attention.
He shook his head. "Who... are you two?" he asked them. "And how did I get here? (3)"
The pink... thing stepped forward. "My name is Kirby," he said. "I've been waiting for you."
The fairy gave Kirby a stern look, then turned to Brett. "My name is Ribbon (4). You must be from where Kirby calls it the "Geo Star." And who are you?"
Geo Star? Brett thought. They must mean Earth. He gave them his nickname. "Call me Skiler. (5) All of this is confusing me."
Kirby went inside his house, Ribbon and Brett (Known from now on, for the time being at least, as Skiler). Brett was amazed at how much food was inside. Kirby tried handing Skiler a Maxinum Tomato, but he politely refused. "Do you have cake instead?" he asked. He wasn't surprised when Kirby took one out and handed it to him.
The cake was delicious, and Skiler, thanking Kirby on his way, soon went back to bed. His bed was comfortable, but a bit small. Oh well, he went to sleep anyway.
Kirby and Ribbon finished their plates of food. Ribbon still looked skeptical. "THAT is supposed to be our second hero?" she whispered, as so not to startle Skiler in the next room. Kirby swallowed another Maxim Tomato (6) whole before replying.
"He can copy any enemy he defeats, but can only combo two like I can," he whispered back. "Similar to me, but more involved with Geo Starling martial arts."
"I see," Ribbon replied. She bid her good-night to Kirby, then went into the room opposite of Skiler's room.
Kirby didn't go to sleep yet. All for the best, he thought. A Geo Starling would be better suited for the job, anyway.
R&R, I guess. Just remember, it's my first fanfiction, and I'd like some constructive critism on it, should some changes are needed. Some notes:
1: Geo Star: Don't confuse this with Neo Star, I've already explained it as Earth a few times to avoid confusion.
2: The entity looks just like Skiler (Brett, as mentioned a few times), but doesn't make a move just yet.
3: It is the said that Skiler was the shooting star, but it happened to be teleportation instead. It just wasn't mentioned in the story.
4: To keep it as close to Kirby 64: the Crystal Shards as possible, all characters from the original game, including Kirby, will be included. The roles of the planets are mixed around, making Geo Star the last stop.
5: Skiler is Brett's nickname. It's also a disguise so that people don't recognize (As all but Geo Star people do) what his TRUE role is. Not even HE realizes it.
6: Maxim Tomato: The true name for Maxinum Tomato.
BONUS: Fixed Chapter Confusion for I figured it out now.
