Paws and the little girl locked eyes for a moment, while Kirby was just looking into the distance. Paws saw here crying, kneeling to the ground, looking up at him, holding the crystal. He then had a flash revealing him as a child, looking at the Original leader of a resistance his friends continued, while he was crying and holding his dead father in the blood filled streets of Mobotropolis. He came back from reality, the girl was still shedding tears. Paws went up closer to the girl. She started speaking, "Why?" He asked her, "Why what?"
She then got up and shouted, "WHY ALL OF THIS? ALL I WANTED WAS TO LIVE HAPPILY! FIRST THE SPLATOON LEAVES ME WITH SOMEONE THAT HATES ME, I'VE BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK TO EVERYONE IN INKOPOLIS AND NOW EVERYONE I KNOW IS DEAD!" She started crying even harder than before. Paws knew how to deal with kids, but not with little girls. Hoping to calm her down, he put his hand on her shoulder, hoping to comfort her.
"Listen kid, everything is gonna be alright. Now I want you to tell me how the hell you were able to get out here." She sniffled and replied, "I-I ran into my room after-Sniff-after they beat me. I fou-und this rock in 4's room which *Sniff* glowed. I heard this no-oise from outside after *Humpf* that, and the sun started en-engulfing the city. The cry-sniff-stal glowed, and and-" She immediately fell on her knees once more and cursed at herself.
Paws kneeled down and put his hands on her shoulder. He thought, 'Usually Spunk or Wings does this sort of thing, but I'll give it a go. Haven't done this in a while.' He said, "Look kid, I know everything looks bad as it is, but it's all gonna be fine. You scared, I get it, but so am I, as well as Ki-" As he turned to point to the pink marshmallow, Kirby was nowhere in sight. The only thing that was there was grass and dandelions. "Kirby? Kirby?!"
Suddenly, there was a large scream from the bottom of the hill. Paws looked back at the girl who was shocked while the tears was still there. He held her by the arms to face him saying, "Stay here. I'll go check it out." He got out one of the batteries from his bag and put it into his legs and went into speed mode. He rushed down, hoping to save the star warrior.
He reached the bottom to see…. 'MARIO?! I thought he was killed or something.' He then started to notice that Mario was wearing gray overalls and a gray hat. What was more worse was that his eyes were glowing red. 'Mario' looked down at the defeated Kirby as a whooshing sound came from above. A figure with yellow eyes in a green wizard getup was piloting a flying claw machine. A cage surrounded Kirby as the rack made contact with the claw, lifting the little boy up and away.
"KIRBY!" Paws yelled as he ran, hoping to catch the fake wizard, but instead was kicked by the ex-plumber, launching him backwards. He landed safely as 'Mario' ground pounded the ground below. Mario got up in a fighting stance that says, 'come at me.' Paws speed dashed into Mario, hoping to launch him to the next year, however he collided with some kind of metal. Paws landed buttfaced to the ground, only to see Mario was now made of metal. The jumpman released fireballs from his hands, which hit Paws straight in the stomach. He stood his ground, waiting for Mario to come close so he can land a devastating kick. Mario did what Paws wanted him to do. He kicked him right in the chin with his foot sending Mario flying, but eventually he came back down, kicking Paws in the legs, damaging the structure.
Paws felt numb for a second as he flopped on the ground yet again. This time he couldn't get up. He looked up to see Mario looking down at him. He lifted his boot above his head, but was interrupted by some ink forcefully hitting his head. Paws looked back to see the girl holding dual pistols in her hands, aiming at Mario saying, "Get away from him now." Mario grinned, running fast at the girl to hit her, instead he missed and the girl turned into a octopus, getting behind him and kicking him in the back and then hitting his face with her pistols, finishing the fight.
The girl huffed for air, looking back at Paws and ran over to help him. "Are you ok mister?," she asked. He looked at her, "Yea I'm fine, these babies fix themselves, just needs some time." The legs started pulling itself back together, rebuilding what the small Italian destroyed. He looked at her asking, "How the hell were you able to get under him? You some kind of metahuman or something?"
She replied, "I'm an Octoling. We are able to go into a octo form and are able to swim on land, but we're faster in our ink like the inklings." She reached out her hands to him while he asked, "Kids don't play with guns though, how old are you?" She said, "15 I think. I'm not really sure though. I lost my memories a long time ago." He looked at her shocked. "You at least remember your name right?" he asked. "Nope," she replied, "but my friends call me Eight for short." "Well my names Paws, nothing more nor less," he said as she pulled him up.
They then heard a crack come from the plumbers body. It started growing, engulfing the body until it exploded into a ball of light. The ball then sprung out streams, creating a green/greyish creature with a weird indescribable trail behind it and glowing red eyes. It looked at the duo for a moment and went flying in the air evaporating most of its body at moving...somewhere. Paws looked ahead the path where Kirby was taken. Thought it was indescribable due to the fog that engulfed the surrounding area. The only thing there was the beam of light in the sky that took all the fighters.
He looked at her saying, "I'm going after thing in the sky. It started all this, and I'll be the one to end it. And if Marios body was fake, then theres a chance that the real ones been taken and alive along with Kirby and the others. If you want to come with me that's fine, but i'm not forcing you to-" "Yes. That thing may have taken both the city and my friends. I'll avenge them, I'll avenge them all." She sounded angry, fueled with hatred. Paws looked at her saying, "Well then why are standing here for, let's get moving."
They both started walking down the path as Paws started asking, "You know, I don't really like that name Eight though. Sounds like a evil army number, considering a friend of mine fought an army before with that system. How about I call you … Ariel?" She thought it over for a moment before saying, "I like that. Thanks, it's been a while since I made any new friends." He felt sorry for a her in that moment. He knew how she felt when he was young, after the first war started. His vision was cut off by seeing him at a young age playing in the yard with his two young siblings. It then got cut off by him seeing their corpses next to his father's.
He stopped for a moment, putting his hand on his head, hoping the headache can go away. Ariel stopped and looked at him asking, "All you alright mister?" He recovered shaking his hands, "I'm fine, and don't call me mister. I'm not over 30 yet." They then continued on with their journey into parts unknown.
In a dark place somewhere, Kirby was in a deep slumber, on a floating pedestal with a symbol below him. A bucket was tipped over him which sprouted a golden liquid, covering the star warrior. Below the pedestal a look-alike of Kirby was created by the liquid, before falling down to the ground. A ball of light then went over the Kirby copy and went into the body. It started to move and look up, revealing glowing red eyes. Its started moving toward the land, leaving a array of fighters to have the same fate.
