Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews:) When I searched to see if there are any Mario/Kirby crossovers, I only seen one. I had this idea to do a crossover for a long time. Tell me when you review if the characters were OOC.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Surferljb: Are Mario and Kirby are your favorite Nintendo characters? They are my favorite too! Anyway, this is going to be good when I do more chapters.
Crystal7: In which Star Wars series did the pod racing is in? The chapter would be kind of long but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
LightwindST: I had this idea for a long time. Anyway, I got a little inspired from Kirby Air Ride, this made-up story that I done in year 8 for creative writing at school and some Mario and Kirby games. But I know why there are a few Mario/Kirby fan fics; it's a bit obvious that not everybody likes Kirby and Mario in the Misc. section. I really appreciate the comment about my story, though.
And, here's the chapter for you to enjoy!
Chapter 2: Kirby Crash Lands and Heroes Meet
Mario and Luigi jumped out of the Warp Pipe and ran past the citizens who were walking around or chatting to others. They ran past the post office and Merlon's house and went up to the blue double door with a yellow star on it. They pushed it and they walked along the path to Peach's castle. The sun is shining on them and butterflies flew past. Sparkling clean water flows out of the fountain.
"It's a nice day today, isn't it bro?" Luigi said.
"Yeah and there's not a sight of trouble happening right now." Mario smiled.
"Um… I think you spoke too soon."
"How come?"
"Because… LOOK!"
Mario looked up when his brother pointed up, at the sky. A distant shining star is heading towards them. The star went down, faster and faster and faster.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The voice screamed.
The star continues to fall down, really speedy. Mario and Luigi quickly ran away when the star was about to crash. It crashed to the ground, which made a massive hole which was between the plumbers and the castle. Mario and his brother coughed while the smoke filled the air. When it cleared, the door of the castle opened and an old toad stepped out, holding his cane.
"Hmm… what was that? I must say, I swear I heard a noise. Master Mario! Master Luigi! The princess is expecting you. Now, please follow me to the—" The old toad replied.
He jumped and was shocked to see a really enormous hole right in front of him.
"GREAT FRIED MUSHROOMS ON A PLATE! What in the Mushroom Kingdom has happened here!"
"I'm not sure, Toadsworth but we better find out." Mario said to him.
The Mario Bros. and Toadsworth walked closer to the colossal hole. They looked down to see a pink puffball and a yellow bright star, which were at the bottom.

"Oooohhhhh… my head…" Kirby moaned, rubbing his head.
He sat up and looked around him.
"Where am I? What is this place?"
He kept on looking around when he noticed that his Warpstar has broken into pieces. The pieces were lying on the ground.
"Oh no! My Warpstar! It's ruined! Now, I'll never get h-h-h-home!" He sobbed. His tears slid down, down to both of his feet.
"Hey! Are you all right down there?" A voice shouted from above.
The pink puffball stopped crying and rubbed his eyes. He looked up to see two humans and a toad gazing at him.
"I'm okay." He said.
"Don't worry, we'll save you!" Mario yelled. He turned to Luigi and Toadsworth. "Luigi, Toadsworth, stay here while I get something."
The red-clad plumber ran towards to the blue double door.
"Mario! Where are you going?" Luigi asked.
Mario stopped running and turned to his brother.
"Going home! What does it look like!" He bellowed.
"Well, hurry back bro!" The green-clad plumber exclaimed.
"I will!"
Mario pushed the double door open and ran through. While he was gone, Luigi stood still, kicking dirt from the ground.
"Master Luigi, I'll inform the princess that you and Master Mario will come very shortly. If you'll excuse me, I must be going." Toadsworth told Luigi.
The old toad walked to the front double door of the castle and pushed it open. He walked through and the door shut behind him. The green-clad plumber is still kicking dirt until he saw his brother ran to him.
"Luigi! I've got the rope! Now, we had to get him out of the hole." Mario says.
He went towards to the hole and let the rope going down to where the puffball was. Mario grabbed hold of the rope while Kirby holds the other end.
"Grab hold of it! It will get you to safety!"
Kirby holds it tight and Mario pulled him up. He used all his might to pull Kirby up but he couldn't.
"I… need… help!" The plumber said, struggling to pull Kirby up.
Luigi quickly ran and went behind his older brother. He grabbed Mario's waist and he began to pull. While Mario was tugging, Kirby slowly went up while holding the rope.
"Okay, on the count of three, 1… 2… 3!"
The Mario Bros. pulled Kirby with all their strength and Kirby was sent flying. He then landed on the ground with a thud while Mario and Luigi fell on the floor.
"Ow! That got to hurt!" Luigi grumbled.
"Well, at least we've got him out." Mario said. "Come on! Let's go to him!"
They sprinted to the pink puffball.
"Um… excuse me, wake up." The red-clad plumber replied.
The puffball slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the plumbers. He tried to get himself up but he didn't. Luigi grabbed Kirby's waist and gently dragged him up.
"What's your name?" Mario asked.
"Kirby." The puffball answered. "What's yours?"
"I'm Mario, the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom." The red-clad plumber says.
"My name's Luigi, I'm Mario's younger brother." The other plumber said.
"Nice to meet you!" Kirby said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too!" Mario grinned. "So, where you're from?"
"Popstar."
"What's that!" Mario and Luigi shouted in unison.
"Popstar is my home planet where flowers, trees and rainbows are. The Star Rod rests at the Fountain of Dreams in Dream Land."
"Sounds girlish-like to me!" Mario murmured.
"It may sound girlish for you but it's where I live." Kirby replied.
"Well, if you're from Popstar, what happened?"
"Well, it all started when the racers and I were on our machines at the start line in Nebula Belt. The countdown appeared right in front of us. When it showed 'GO!', we dashed off. I was in the lead while the rest were way behind. I went through loads of Copy Chance Wheel panels to get an ability. The others went through them too to catch up to me. I had a really good lead and I was near the goal line until suddenly I got electrocuted by the plasma bomb and King Dedede rushed past, hitting me with his hammer. He hit me three times and I got hit really far, away from the course. I crashed landed here and now here I am. How am I going to get back home? If I don't get back to the race, I'll get disqualified."
Kirby then bursts into tears. He let his tears stream down onto Mario's shoulder.
"That's terrible!" Mario said, a tear of his own sliding down. "That has got to be the saddest thing that has ever happened to you!"
"Yeah, it is and since my Warpstar is broken, I'll never get back." Kirby said with a depressed face, looking at the sky.
"Don't worry, Luigi and I will get you back home somehow."
Kirby stopped crying and rubbed his eyes to dry them.
"You really mean it!" He exclaimed, happily.
"Sure! Right, Luigi?" Mario smiled.
"That's right, Mario." Luigi said with a grin.
"But what is this place?" Kirby questioned.
"Oh! This place? This is the Mushroom Kingdom." Mario replied. "I've forgotten to tell you about that."
"Oh. Thanks for saving me."
"No problem! Speaking of which, there is one."
"What was it?"
"Well, the princess sent a letter to me and my brother saying that we had to come to her castle to play tennis with her. We are now here but you crashed landed. Now, we had to ask the princess to cancel the tennis match since we had to help you to get back home. But, I wonder if she's going to cancel it or not."
"So, I guess it's a problem, huh?"
"I don't think it is because I bet the princess will cancel the match anyway since she's our friend, isn't bro?" Luigi says.
"I guess so. Anyway, let's go ask the princess." The red-clad plumber said.
"But what about my Warpstar?" Kirby said in a whining tone.
"Okay, we'll fix your Warpstar then we'll ask the princess."
"Yay!"
"But first, Luigi and I have to go back home to get the tools to fix your machine. So, wait here, okay?"
"Okay."
Mario and Luigi ran to the double door and pushed it open. They ran through while Kirby waited for them to return.
