ENJOY!
Nightmare had been defeated months ago. There were no demon beasts left to order, and king Dedede was terribly bored. After fixing the castle he just sat here, staring at random object and hoping that something exciting would happen. But no, there were only the irritating noises of the young playing. Stupid and Cappies and that stupid pink blob, thought the annoyed king. I wish something would happen already!
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen castle, Escargoon was preparing some tea for his majesty. He hummed happily, satisfied that the tea was almost ready… Until he heard a familiar voice yelling, making him jump and spill burning tea all over himself.
''ESCARGOON!'' shouted Dedede. "Come here!"
Yelping slightly, Escargoon leapt up and hurried towards the source of the sound. Quite an surprise, thought Escargoon, I haven't heard the majesty sound this enthusiastic for months! Searching for his king, the purple snail finally found him in the throne room, where Dedede was standing at the balcony. Dedede seemed to be looking at something, but the penguin was too large and blocked the view, so the snail couldn't perceive what the commotion was about.
That is, until he pushed Dedede aside. The sight was so astounding, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Just a little further from the castle, there was a enormous ship standing on the green hill. It was probably not bigger than Halberd, but still, very impressive. The ship had a lime-green colour and four wings, 2 at each side. The powerful cannons made it clear that this was a war airship.
''What's a ship doing 'ere, zoi?''
Escargoon hadn't a clue, he was curious as well. What appeared to be a war ship, landing in Dreamland? Not many visited this out of the way planet…
''Your majesty, why don't we check out?'' Escargoon asked, glancing upwards.
Dedede liked that idea and grabbed the surprised snail (much to his dismay), running outside of the castle to reach the ship.
Fumu was observing the ship, when a hatch unsealed with a hiss. A door on the side of the ship began to open. She blinked in surprise, jerking backwards from the sudden motion. Recovering quickly, she saw four figures standing on the door waiting as the door changed in a stairway. The first one came into view, someone Fumu recognized. She remembered the light green puffball as one of the survivors from the GSA. No, to be more precise, the leader of the GSA. He was the one who had assisted in the final confrontation with Nightmare and his demon beasts, holding off the minions so Kirby could defeat Nightmare.
''Sir Arthur Knight" said Meta knight, saluting sharply, "It is good to see you again."
The leader of GSA returned the salute. ''Indeed, it has been too long my friend.'' He turned slightly, facing a purple puffball. ''Sir Dragato, guard the ship until we return.'' Fumu looked at the purple puffball who goes with the name Sir Dragato, and she guessed the soldier was of a high rank, if not the right hand of Sir Arthur. The purple puffball only nodded and gave a quick glance at Meta Knight giving a small greeting with his hand, and walked back to the ship. ''Very well,'' said Sir Arthur, looking at Meta Knight again, ''if I'm correct you know about the current situation?"
''Yes.'' Meta Knight answered shortly, while walking to the visitors ''It's good to you see again, Sir Falspar, and Sir Nonsurat.''
''FINALLY! Now we can spar again, I want to see how much stronger you'll have become!'' exclaimed Falspar excitedly, the green puffball with a mohawk of vibrant red hair.
''Not now,'' said Nonsurat, a puffball with an unusual armor design ''Did you forget already how serious this situation is?''
''I'm not stupid ya know. I just want to secretly test his strength!'' he snapped back.
''Is sparring supposed to be a secret?!'' said Nonsurat, sounding irritated, ''Then you're more stupid then I thought.''
''Say what?! Do you want to fight with me then?!'' cried Falspar, already losing his cool.
Arthur Knight only sighed, if those two could actually work together they would be a great team.
''You two hasn't changed at all, after all those years. I thought while Nightmare's attack you two were actually working together but I must be wrong.'' said Meta Knight amused.
''You talk too much!'' huffed Falspar he turned to Meta Knight ''I thought you were the quiet one!"'
Nonsurat couldn't help but agree a bit. ''Surprisingly you are talking quite a bit Meta Knight.'' Meta Knight only shrugged in response.
Fumu didn't follow the conversation, just glanced over the other puffballs. She could feel the auras superiority coming off from the puffballs. Those armors they were wearing are so beautiful, especially Arthur's golden one. She was a bit startled that the golden armored knight was actually looking at her, but then at Kirby.
''Never mind that,'' said Arthur Knight, as he walked closer to the young girl. Fumu gulped nervously, as she held on to Kirby tightly. She didn't know what to do in this situation, she was way too nervous now unable to say something.
''-What's your name?'' he started, Fumu looked at the knight
''F-fumu, Sir.'' His head tilted a bit
''Fumu-dono? The girl who assisted Kirby in battle with Nightmare?''
She could only nod.
''It's an honor to see you,'' he bowed a little ''I am truly grateful, thank you Fumu.''
Fumu was unable to utter some words, she hadn't expected this reaction.
Sir Arthur Knight continued. ''Is there something wrong with Kirby?'' Fumu noticed that Kirby was wearing a scowl, a part of her was relieved that he was showing a reaction, but she was also worried, and wanted to know what was wrong with the little puffball.
''I-I don't know actually,'' she said ''Kirby's started being like this just a moment ago, but I think he hasn't been sleeping enough lately.'' Sir Arthur Knight observed Kirby, curiosity evident in his eyes.
Sword piped up with a suggestion, one differing from the topic of their conversation. ''Why we don't go inside?''
Blade nodded in agreement. ''Yeah, it'll be pouring soon. Let's go to the castle, we can continue our talk here.'' Everyone agreed and walked towards to the castle, until they reached the bridge when Meta Knight suddenly held out his arm. This signaled for the group should stop.
''They're coming.'' he said, voice as steady as ever. Sir Falspar and Sir Nonsurat glanced at each other and said ''Who is-'' they got interrupted as they see a fat penguin and a old snail was running almost crashed into Meta Knight, but they stopped just on time.
Screeching to a stop, the fat penguin roared ''Sir Meta Knight! Do you know why a ship is here?! I demand an answer!"
Sir Arthur stepped in, preventing Meta Knight from needing to give an excuse. ''My deepest apologies, we needed to land somewhere and the hill was only fitting place to do so.''
Dedede glared at Sir Arthur Knight. ''How rude!'' huffed Escargoon. "I'll have you know-
While they were talking, Nonsurat gazed around, taking note of the how the castle was damaged. Must have been from Nightmares Destrayers, thought the knight. He heard his brother - Falspar whispering to him; ''Is Meta Knight really serving that fat dude?''
''-His appearance may be unbecoming, but he's the king of this planet!'' Escargoon finished his sentence. The snail seemed to be expecting a surprised reaction but received none. Although he was on the receiving end of several blank stares. Escargoon sweat dropped."Um…"
Dedede smacked Escargoon on his head, and decided to take the blunt approach. ''Who are you, you space invaders?''
''I am Sir Arthur Knight," and then gestured at his soldiers ''and those two are my partners.''
''A knight you say?'' said Dedede a bit curiously. Escagoon gained his posture back and voiced his opinion. ''If the knights are here, does that mean there's trouble?'' he asked, voice anxious.
''Yes, there is trouble.'' said Meta Knight coldly, statement to firm and to the point. He didn't want to tell them the whole situation, to be honest, he didn't want any civilians concerned about the upcoming battle. But there was no time, and the quickest way to get rid of the bothersome duo was by telling them.
''Pop star is in danger, and we do still have the opportunity to get away here.''
Everyone, except the soldiers and the sleeping pink puffball, gasped loudly.
Sir Arthur tried to calm the shocked group. ''Do not worry, we indeed do have the opportunity to get away here, but it doesn't mean we have to leave Pop Star.'' This earned some sigh of relief. ''But our time is short, we'll need to prepare for the future battle.'' he intoned in a serious voice.
