Mami let out a yelp as she landed on something.
A quick look at her surroundings revealed that she was currently located in some kind of grassy plane, almost bare of anything that could be of any interest except for a few dirt roads, and a few trees. Hmm strange she didn't remember even getting near a place that looked anything like this.
In fact the last thing she remembered was fighting a witch in her layer before….getting her head bitten off.
She cringed a bit at the memory before looking around again "Well I suppose I could have wound up in worse places if this is the afterlife." She mumbled as she tried to think up an explanation for her current situation.
Her train of thought was soon interrupted by a voice from under her "p-p-please….get off me. "
Mami let out a small yelp in shock before getting up and turning around to see where the voice had come from which in this case it had come from a small pink creature with blue eyes, red feet, and rosy cheeks
The small pink being quickly took a gasp of air before addressing Mami in what could have been one of the cutest voices she had ever herd. "Hiiiiii! I'm Kirby! Thanks for getting off me after falling on my head! What's your name?"
Mami gave a small smile and knelled down to address the creature. "I'm Mami Tomoe, nice to meet you, and sorry about that landing."
Kirby gave a big smile of his own "Nice to meet you too!" He then blinked once as if just realizing something "Hey! You're human! Do you know a girl named Adeleine or a boy named Ado by any chance?"
Mami gave a confused look "No sorry I don't? Are they friends of yours."
Kirby jumped up in excitement "Yep! I've known them forever and we go on adventures all the time!" He said "I mean they are going to be sooooooo exited to finally get to meet another human!"
"Wait you have humans, but they aren't common?" Mami asked beginning to feel a little concerned. After all if their humans weren't completely unknown, but were apparently rare enough that one was lucky to see another within its life it would likely mean one of two things. One was that wherever this place was humans being transported hear was possible, but not common. The other was that this was some sort of post-apocalyptic earth. She really was hopping that it was the former, or that there was some other reason for the rarity of humans around here.
Kirby gave a light sigh as a depressed expression decorated his face. "Yeah, no one actually knows much about humans, or where they really come from. It's a real sore topic for Ado and Adeleine, and I can understand why, my species has similar rarity problems, and I know how hard it is to have so little contact with your own kind."
'ooops looks like I've hit a sensitive topic with the little guy, It would probably be better if I try to take his mind off it.' Mami thought to herself as she opened her mouth to speak. "So do your friends live close by? They sound like wonderful people going by your attitude towards them."
Kirby shook his head as he got out of his stupor "Oh yeah! They don't live that far away!" He then walked over to Mami and jumped up her shoulder. "Come on! I'll point out the way!" He said with excitement as he pointed down one the paths.
"Hehe Ok, You sure aren't excitable one aren't you?" Mami laughed lightly to herself as she walked down the path Kirby had indicated.

Sayaka let out a yawn as she woke from her slumber. 'Wow whatever I was doing before I went to be last night I had better not do again, that dream was horrible.' She thought to herself as she rubbed her eyes.
She then looked down to see herself in her magical girls outfit. '…it wasn't a dream.' She thought bitterly to herself as she recalled previous events.
A quick look around revealed to Sayaka that she wasn't in any place that she could recognize. The floor, the walls, and the ceiling were all made of a rusted metal. Most of the light in the room came from the window, through which a dim sky filled with quickly passing clouds could be seen. Overall it was a very dingy room that looked like it hadn't seen use for a long time.
"Ah I see you have awakened, my apologies for the poor accommodations, we were not expecting anyone to 'drop in' like you did." She heard a deep and somewhat menacing voice say to her.
Sayaka looked around, but could not spot the man who was speaking. "Who are you?" she asked "And where are you?" she added as she continue to look around the room.
"Right in front of you, you only need to look down." The voice responded in a slightly irritated tone.
Looking down Sayaka caught sight of the being that had been talking to her. The creature itself was rather small, reaching up to her knees at most. Its most prominent feature was a mask with a V shaped visor, out of witch gleamed menacing yellow eyes. Its hands where clad in white gloves, while armor and a cap concealed the rest of its body, except for area of blues skin. In spite of its small stature the little creature project a powerful aura of great menace, and experience. Like it was just waiting for something to go wrong, or for someone to attack.
Needless to say Sayaka was more than a little intimidate by the creature's presence and only managed to stammer out a meek "Hello" under its gaze.
The creature's gaze didn't change in the least, but the feeling of dread that had washed over Sayaka vanished in an instant as the creature spoke again. "Greetings to you as well young one, I am Meta Knight the captain of this ship. Would you be so kind as to tell me your name, and what if any purpose you have in dreamland?"
'So this place is called dreamland? Well I suppose the naming is a little strange, but then again I didn't even know about magical girls and witches until just recently.' Sayaka thought to herself before answering "My name is Sayaka Mika and I…..actually have no idea what I'm doing in this place, or how I wound up hear." She admitted deciding that she really didn't have much to lose by telling Meta Knight the truth.
The Knights eyes seemed to flash green as he spoke. "Very well Miss Sayaka, then I would like to welcome you aboard the Halberd." He then kicked open one of the doors "Follow me if what you have said is true then we have much to discuss, not the least of which being where you will stay until we can find a way to your home."
With that he disappeared into the hallway, his metallic footfalls alerting Sayaka to his continue presence.
'Well I suppose things could get worse, I could have wound up in company of some kind of super powered cannibal or hammer happy king' she thought to herself as she followed the knight into the hallway.

Kyoko let out a pained groan as she returned to consciousness, before blinking in surprise as she realized her situation, specifically when she realized that she wasn't dead. 'Wait a minute, how the hell am I even still alive!?' She mentally questioned as she thought about how she had sacrificed herself to bring down Sayaka's witch with her.
However her thoughts where sort lived as soon as she realized that she was in a cell. 'What did the cops back home manage to follow me into the afterlife or something?' She thought bitterly as she drew her spear.
"Well afterlife or not I'm not going to let a fucking cadge hold me." She grunted as she struck the bars with her spear to no effect.
She gave it a few more swings putting more power into each strike, but had not been able to so much as scratch the bars.
"Well that was a waste of energy." Kyoko commented as she examined her cadge "Whoever build this place is ether rabidly paranoid or had magical girls in mind during construction." She them looked down at her soul gem to find out it was as clean as ever, in spite of rapid magic us just recently "Hmm well whatever's going on it seems to be halting the corruption of my soul gem, so at least that's worth something." She commented at least somewhat thankful for that concern having been taken care of, if at least for the moment.
It wasn't long before she heard footstep heading towards her location. 'Hmmmmp looks like I'm about to meet the asshole that locked me in hear, or at least someone who works for them.' She thought as she looked down the hall and waited for the figure to come into view.
She wasn't quite expecting what she saw.
Superficially it was a small orange creature with a blue bandana. It was wielding a spear, but for some reason Kyoko couldn't find it in herself to register the creature as a potential threat. Then again the innocent look in the creature's eyes wasn't exactly the most menacing thing she had ever seen.
The creature looked at her timidly "Oh I see your awake….sorry about the cell, that gem was giving off some small amounts of dark energy and we tend to take that very seriously around hear."
Koyko merely raised an eyebrow in confusion "Dark Energy? Are you talking about soul gem corruption?"
The orange creature shrugged "No actually I mean the corruption coming out of your 'soul gem'." He then pointed the blunt edge of the spear towards the gem "Dreamlands natural magic is pulling the corruption from it, and disposing of it as we speak, it's the fact that it was being generated from the gem in the first place that had us worried." He then withdrew his spear and appeared to store in somewhere. "If that stuff was actively building up in the gem we would have smashed it on the spot. Letting dark energy fester in once place like that tends to bad for everybody's health"
'….wow I guess these guys really hate witches, or whatever could fill the role of a witch in this place.' Kyoko thought to herself a she put her spear away "Ok then what the fuck exactly do you plan to do to me? If you didn't notice I wasn't exactly planning to end up in….wherever we are right now."
The orange creature shrugged "Well actually since your awake I'm supposed to take you to our king. I don't know why personally, but the old guy tends to have some pretty enigmatic motives at times for how simple he seems." He then turned and began typing something into a key cod next to the cell "My names Bandana Dee by the way…..don't attack me or the king and we'll get along swimmingly" He finished as the cadge opened.
Kyoko steeped "Whatever small fry, it's not like I have many places to go" She said as Bandana Dee led her off into the hallways of the castle.
