Chapter 2: Shooting Star

Upon leaving his home, the little pink puffball known as Kirby notices a tomato that is about to be eaten by some blue birds. He runs over to the tomato and begins inhaling the it, scaring off the birds. The tomato flies off of the ground and into his mouth, which is immediately consumed. The little puffball closes his eyes and smiles happily after his very delicious snack.

Kirby begins to walk back to his home but stops abruptly upon hearing a loud crash. He quickly turns around and sees a small crater with something glowing within it. He slowly walks over to the crater, curious of what it contains. His eyes grow wider and sparkle as they look to a faintly yellow star-like object embedded into the ground in the center of the crater. Kirby slides into the crater and picks up the "star", staring at it for a few seconds before he exits the crater. He resumes walking back to his home as the star glows slightly brighter for a short while. Kirby doesn't seem to notice to sudden glow and continues forward. Once he arrives inside, he spots a large meal on his table, consisting of a turkey, three cakes, and other assorted foods. He makes a cute squeak-like noise as he begins eating the food, placing the "star" in the one of the chairs at the table.

While Kirby gorges on his mouth-watering feast, Meta Knight awakens from unconsciousness. He slowly sits up then quickly looks around. To his right, his sword lies flat on the ground. He picks it up and places it back on his person. To his left, he notices King Dedede is lying on the ground, covered in blood, torn clothing, and wooden pieces. Meta Knight carefully approaches Dedede, inspecting him while standing ready in case of a surprise attack. He takes a step back, pondering about Dedede's current condition.

"This isn't possible. When he died, he should have just poofed away."

Meta Knight turned away from Dedede's corpse and stared off into the distance where the "king's" castle used to stand, seeing only rubble now. "Even if he had poofed away, he wouldn't have blood." Suddenly, Meta Knight turns towards the small mountain range that was right behind him, sensing something great within that general direction. "The Star!" Meta Knight attempts to use his wings, but his cape doesn't change.

"What?! My wings won't spawn?!" He snarls slightly before he starts running towards the energy signal. "I suppose I'll have to run for this one."

On the other side of Dreamland within the nearby forest, a spinning curved blade sticks into one of the many trees. Shortly after, a very short, round being with a golden helmet and armor walks out of the shadows. The being pulls the blade from the tree and attaches it to his helmet to where the tip of the blade points forward. "Sir Kibble!" A small, fiery being runs towards the one known as Sir Kibble. "Sir Kibble! There is trouble at Dedede's castle!" Kibble looks to the fiery one and inquires, "Leo, look at me and listen closely. Why does that matter to me?" Burnin' Leo becomes slightly frightened but calms down quickly.

"The castle is decimated. It's nothing but rubble now. Also, King Dedede is missing."

Kibble pulls the blade from off of his helmet and flings it upward towards the treetops with a clear string attached to it. As the blade pierces the bark along the top of one of the trees, he grips the string tightly and begins climbing. He reaches the top and looks into the distance through a small opening between two of the mountains. Leo watches all of this, feeling nervous for Kibble's safety. Leo speaks a bit loudly to try to get Kibble's attention, "Sir Kibble! Would you please come down?" Kibble catches Leo's voice reaching him from the very bottom of the tree. Kibble pulls the blade out from the tree and tosses it towards the ground, holding onto the clear string attached to it. Once the blade embeds itself into the ground, he wraps his end of the string around the two stubs upon the top of his helmet then slides down the string, making sparks underneath his feet. Once he reaches the blade, he front flips off of the string and lands a very short distance in front of it. Soon after, the blade retracts from the ground and onto his helmet.

Leo walks closer to Kibble with worry if he is alright from the ride down. He sees no damage upon Kibble's body and sighs in relief. "I'm glad you are alright, Sir Kibble," happily speaks Leo. Kibble slowly starts walking towards the mountains as Leo watches in confusion. "Where are you going?" asks Leo. Kibble turns his head towards Leo for a short moment, uninterrupting his stride. Before he speaks, he returns his vision forward towards the general direction of his destination.

"Let's just say that this type of adventure will require a copycat."
