Chapter 2: Kirby Comes to Skyworld
(Palutena's Skypalace)
It was a peaceful day in Skyworld. Palutena was in her throne room, but she had a guest in her palace. Viridi, Goddess of Nature. While Palutena and Viridi were discussing business, Pit, Dark Pit, and Phosphora were waiting just outside the Skypalace.
Pit- You know, I really can't believe Viridi has agreed to forge an alliance with Lady Palutena. Especially since we once went to war against each other before I destroyed Hades.
Phosphora- Viridi and Palutena might's had their…well…disagreement in the past, but after Tabuu making his return over six months ago, Viridi realized that there are much bigger threats than just the humans.
Dark Pit- You all keep talking about how much of a big powerful god Tabuu is, but I don't see why everyone is so afraid of him.
Pit- Believe me, Pittoo, you don't know the half of what that monster is really capable of. Mario and Sonic might've been the ones who fought him in Grand Metropolis, but when the world merge happened, Lady Palutena had me round up the other heroes and heroine who would become members of Mario's team, and follow Mario and Sonic from shadow. And we all witnessed what Tabuu was capable of and he was only at 80% of his full power. And even then, he had the potential to wipe out the entire universe single handed. And to make matters worse, we recently discovered Tabuu has been recruiting for the last six months. Remember Ash Ketchum who helped us fight Satan after Medusa revived him? Well, after that battle against Satan…and after the hilarious vacation on Pi'illo Island when Ty and Shantae were crossdressing as each other, HAHAHAHAHA, Ash was entering a Poke'mon tournament and the rest of the team decided to come and cheer him on. Only to discover that Tabuu had a follower there ready to strike! And even with all of us combined, we were barely able to stop that mess and get out of there with our lives!
Dark Pit- Stop calling me that!
Phosphora- But Pit is correct about how dangerous Tabuu is. He's even more powerful than Palutena or Viridi by a longshot. Tabuu is also in the S ranked gods and even among the other S ranks, he is far more powerful.
Pit- Hey, what's that up there?
Pit, Dark Pit, and Phosphora looked up and saw what looked like a falling star heading straight Skyworld. Eventually, it crashed just outside the Skypalace like an asteroid crashing to Earth. Then Palutena and Viridi rush outside.
Viridi- What the hell was that?!
Phosphora- Not sure. Something fell from the sky and landed over there.
Phosphora pointed at the huge cloud of smoke, but when the smoke faded, there stood Kirby.
Kirby- (Cough) Shit! That landing could've gone better.
Viridi- Oh my! What an adorable creature!
Before Kirby even knew it, he was picked up and hugged tightly by Viridi.
Kirby- Can't…(GASP)…breathe…
The Viridi stop hugging him and starts pinching Kirby's cheeks. And yes, I mean the face.
Viridi- He's so squishy and adorable!
Kirby- Can you please stop! That kind of hurt!
Pit- Kirby? What are you doing here?
Viridi- Pit, you know this little guy?!
Pit- Yeah. His name is Kirby. He's a Star Warrior from planet Popstar and like me, he's also part of the Super Mario Brothers' Team.
Viridi- This cute little guy?
Kirby- Believe me, looks can be deceiving. I have abilities you wouldn't believe.
Viridi- Really?! Anything I can do to persuaded you to join the Forces of Nature?
Kirby- Actually, I came here because I think I need Pit's help.
Pit- Is something wrong?
Kirby- While we were at the Kalos League to cheer Ash on…and battling Lysandre and his monstrous creature formed from the power of a Legendary Poke'mon, my teacher, Meta Knight, went to investigate strange assurances on Popstar. However, when I returned, everyone told me he didn't return and no one has seen or heard from Meta Knight in over two days. I'm worried about him. I figured Palutena can use her all seeing eye to locate Meta Knight.
Palutena- I'll see what I can do, Kirby.
Palutena used her all seeing eye on Popstar and tried to locate Meta Knight's trail. Eventually, she picked up a very strange trail in an underground cave where Kirby went treasure hunting in Kirby Super Star. She saw Meta Knight in a battle against two unknown opponents…but she also saw a very hunting mark on their bodies. She stop and quickly put both hands over her mouth.
Palutena- (GASP) No!
Pit- Lady Palutena, what is it?!
Palutena- I saw that Meta Knight was ambushed by two opponents, but they both had Tabuu's mark on their left palms. I fear this means Tabuu's involved. Pit, you are going to Popstar with Kirby to get to the bottom of this!
Pit- Rodger that, Lady Palutena.
Dark Pit- Well have fun you two.
Viridi- Don't feel so left out, Dark Pit. You're going too.
Dark Pit- What?! Why the hell do I have to go as well?!
Viridi- If Tabuu really is involved somehow, I'm not taking any chances! I know what Tabuu is truly capable of and saying it's not pretty would be an understatement. Besides…I'm also interested in learning more about Kirby and this Popstar planet.
Dark Pit- (Mustters)…shit…
Phosphora pats Dark Pit on the head.
Phosphora- Have fun, Pittoo!
Dark Pit- And would you please stop calling me that!
