AN: Anytime the character obtains a skill, it will level up when doing the relevant skill at random (So I do not have to keep track of EXP)
After that I began to break down in tears against my own better judgement, I'm not sure if it was the fact that I died finally catching up with me or that I was in a world I loved as a child into my life as a young adult it might have also been that I KNEW I was never going to be able to go back even if I could I knew that my parents and friends saw my body by this point and how would I explain this to them, I can't even explain it to myself! And even then I would still be in this adorable plushie body!
Tiff was not conflicted in her next course of action, she gently hugged the small child as he cried and walked back toward the castle, "How am I going to explain this to my parents, much less MetaKnight?" she said softly as she walked through the outskirts of Cappytown.
Several minutes later she was at Meta Knight's door holding the sleeping Puffball, he had cried himself out only moments before she arrived at the castle (for which she was grateful, she did not want to deal with the King at the moment). "MetaKnight, MetaKnight!" She yelled at the door. The door opened and she came face to face with the masked warrior. As soon as he opened the door his eyes flashed between white and orange colors. "What is this?!" he said in immediate surprise. "I found him sitting outside of town against a tree!" said Tiff nervously. "Hand him to me." he said in his usual calm composure with his eyes shifting back to his neutral yellow. MetaKnight took him from Tiff and looked him over appraisingly as if determining the value of a precious gem, his eyes shifted from green to blue before they seemingly decided on yellow. "He is just like Kirby and his power may even grow to surpass his" He stated as a fact "But I also sense his life will be even more dangerous, be it because of his power or what he was given it to prevent…" The Knight said dangerously, as Tiff gazed worriedly.
"Poyo?" (Who are you?) said a squeaky voice as I was poked in the side. "Poyo-poy" (No I had nothing to do with the Mmmhhh…) I said blearily "Poi!" (Up!) the voice said as I was flipped over. "Omph" I said as I regained consciousness. As I looked over to find out the cause of my awakening I was mildly surprised. Standing right in front of was the pink hero himself "Poyo?" (Who are you?) For some reason I was able to understand his gibberish so I decided to go along with it. "Coulbult." (Cobalt.) "Poyo poyo Kni poi" (Follow me MetaKnight wants to see you!) So this is still confusing for me but at this point I don't have any better ideas so I follow him out of what I recognise to be MetaKnight's room and he places a vase over my head/body, shaped to look like King DeDeDe AN: Expect anything in parentheses to be Kirby and Cobalt talking (This is so we can hide, you are a secret!) Kirby said excited clapping his paws and jumping around (Why?) I said in confusion (Because DeDeDe does not like me and makes quick assumptions.) (Oh I get it.) Obtained skill Sneak! Obtained Skill Disguise! I nearly jumped out of my… vase?
Kirby
At the notification and it seemed that Kirby heard the noise as well as he put one of his paws where his ear should be and listened for a moment, before shrugging and pulling on one of the handles of the vase to guide his new pal around the hallways, it seemed every other minute he heard a beep but no matter how hard he tried, could not find where it was coming from. A short time later they found their way to the canyon where he and MetaKnight did regular training and exercise. They shortly arrived at the spot where Kirby and MetaKnight normally train, by this point Cobalt had removed the vase from his head and began looking around, secretly Cobalt was very excited, he was about to receive training from one of the coolest swordsmen in fictional history, or not so fictional as he once thought. "Hmph" came a grunt from behind Cobalt startling him. "I am MetaKnight and I will be your teacher and legal guardian." he said as his eyes flashed green with thought. "Tell me, what is your name?" "Caobullt!" "Kabi!" said both Cobalt and Kirby in unison, quickly looking at each other before laughing. Oh my god! Thought Cobalt I'm turning into a kid again, the change isn't just physical its mental too! Cobalt managed to not show his surprise and discomfort from his revelation as he looked at MetaKnight. MetaKnights eyes flashed pink with amusement then quickly back to yellow "Cobalt today we will work on finding your weapon of choice, as you have a great power hidden within you, others will want to exploit it for their gain..." he said crypticily "But if I give you access to this power they will never get the chance…" he stated without emotion. Cobalt's mind quickly debated if he should demonstrate his power, he ultimately decided MetaKnight was someone he could trust. *Beep* His status screen quickly popped up for all to see.

"It seems as if your training will be different. But before we see what this power can do for you, we need to find out what weapon you feel most comfortable with." He said as he grabbed us both and flew off towards the castle.
