PROLOGUE

-A Hero's Welcome-

Chopper found himself in another teleporter room, despite feeling dazed and bumping into a wall. The room had some star-shaped windows, and when he took a step out of the teleporter room, he found a big green landscape with a big blue sky with a lot of hills. Up ahead, down a hill was Hatty Town, and a little further up ahead was Cappy Town. Between the two towns was a path leading up to a huge castle on a large hill that belong to King Dedede, the greedy ruler of Dream Land.

"It feels GREAT here! It's been such a while since I came here!" Chopper smiled as he began to run down the hill. "I don't know why I didn't go here often. Plus, Kirby's here, and he's pretty cool!"

He walked past the south area of Dream Land, where a fountain known as the Fountain of Dreams rested. There, the legendary Star Rod sat in its pedestal to prevent evil dreams from invading Pop Star thanks to Kirby.

Going down toward Hatty Town, he could see pink spherical insects with fly-like wings and orange feet called Bronto Burts flying around in groups. He ignored them, knowing that they would probably attack him if he got too closer. After that, he made it to Hatty Town, where he could see the Cappies walking around. The town was a little big and had shops and even a restaurant. There was a road that people could walk around on, which good for transportation. In the middle of the town was a silver house, which belonged to the Mayor, who was standing in front of the house.. Chopper nodded as he ran toward the house past a couple of Cappies he left dazed.

"Why, it's Chopper! We haven't seen him for at least a year!" one Cappy noticed. Chopper smiled as he looked at all the Cappies that were delighted to see him. However, there was one Cappy that looked a little different. He had black shoes and purple pants. The rest of him looked yellow, and he seemed to be wearing a bag with a Cappy face on it. While he didn't look like a Cappy, Chopper didn't pay that much attention to him.

"So that kid's name is Chopper?" the Cappy thought. "I don't know why I came here, but I better get something good from it! I hope I can give Grodus some good info on that map - if I find anything good, that is."

"Hello, Chopper!" the Mayor greeted as Chopper walked up to him and waved. "My goodness! You've grown a bit! You were nine when coming here, right? Happy belated birthday, I suppose."

"I haven't grown at all. I don't think I can grow anymore..." Chopper sighed before getting back on topic. "OK, Mayor. What do you need from me?"

"I'm sorry for bringing you here like this, Chopper," the Mayor apologized. "But I just got a threatening letter from an anonymous source! Maybe he wants me dead…or maybe he just wants everyone to die!"

"What? How can that be?"

"Take a look for yourself!" the Mayor pulled out a black letter and he handed it to Chopper. He took a look at the letter as his antennae sprung up.

"Hey... This writing looks evil!" Chopper gasped. "And he's saying that he'll destroy the world? That's not good..."

However, what startled him a little was when he saw a sentence that appeared on the letter at the bottom.

I dare you to find them, Chopper!

"This letter is pretty creepy!" Chopper cried as he flung it away from him, which the Mayor caught. "But there's one thing I don't understand… The letter says that all twenty need to be found. I thought there were only seven, according to a friend of mine! I don't understand this one bit at all, and I don't like the looks of that letter."

"Well I don't understand either," the Mayor replied. "I never even heard of the Crystal Stars until I found an odd book in my house. I really don't know what we can do right now…"

Unfortunately, his thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice through a megaphone.

"All right! Listen up, everybody! We have a shortage of food in the castle, and since His Majesty is your king, you must hand over all food and beverages that you have!" a lavender snail with a dark green shell, eyes rising over the rest of his stalk, a short, light green mustache and goatee and four teeth shouted through the megaphone. "You MUST hand everything you got over and put them in these brown sacks that the Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos are walking around with! Those who refuse to give up your food will get the death penalty!"

Chopper saw a bunch of red spherical shaped minions with peach faces and feet with spears named Waddle Dees coming around with brown sacks. Some of them actually had one large eye called Waddle Doos. They were walking to some Cappies, who were putting their food in the sacks.

A large penguin-like being dressed in red royal finery was beside the snail. He had a personal emblem with his hand giving the peace sign embossed on the back of his robe. He was rather portly, with blue skin and a tan belly. Also, a yellow zigzag-patterned girdle-like band was stretched along his waist, and he wore yellow gloves and had yellow feet, and he was holding a large wooden hammer that many people said was mechanized.

It was none other than King Dedede.

"Heh heh heh heh! Look at everybody! They're all so scared of being put to death!" King Dedede grinned as he grabbed a loaf of bread from a Cappy and took a bite out of it. "At least they're doing the right thing by handing over the grub!"

"Please, your Majesty. Don't eat so soon! It's your reason that you…ate everything…from…" the snail paused when he looked up at King Dedede, who was glaring at him. "Ummmm... Continue on!"

"Thank you, Escargon," King Dedede nodded as he continued to eat the loaf of bread.

"Oh, this is terrible! King Dedede's making everyone give up all their food!" the Mayor cried. "We'll lose all of our Deden in no time buying more food! …Or maybe the food in there will be gone!"

The fake Cappy was even watching this, and he didn't even feel safe. "Oh, man! I gotta get outta here!" he simply went behind a house so none of the Waddle Dee and Doo could find him.

"Your Majesty, this is all the food we can get," the Waddle Doo captain, who was holding a short sword informed. "These Cappies don't appear to have a lot of food in their hands."

"Then we'll go to Cappy Town and get some food there!" barked King Dedede. "And besides, this place isn't as plentiful with food than Cappy Town anyway. We're going there!"

"Well I'm going to do something about it!" Chopper shouted, running over to King Dedede and pointing at him. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Hmmmm? And who are you supposed to be?" King Dedede asked, looking down at the boy.

"I'm Chopper! Chopper of Clara! I don't know why you're doing this, but I don't like your idea!" Chopper frowned. "As much as I love to eat, people need food too... I mean, you probably have enough with that big belly of yours."

"How DARE you talk to his majesty like that?!" Escargon snapped as he got in front of Chopper before turning back to his king politely. "Your Great Majesty. Should I give this little boy the death penalty?"

"No need to worry about that, Escargon! I'll take care of this one!" King Dedede assured as he raised his hammer. Escargon gulped and got behind Chopper as the hammer's shadow towered over the boy. "Chopper, huh? You know, I heard a bit about you... You're that kid who came here a year ago, huh? You remind me of that pink puffball, Kirby, and I HATE that! I'll do what I've always wanted to do with him! This'll be just like a game of golf…except YOU'RE the ball!"

"Uh oh..." Chopper gulped.

"This is what you get for insulting His Majesty!" Escargon grinned.

King Dedede brought his hammer back, making Chopper's eyes widened. However, he realized something. He quickly got out of the way, and unintentionally in his place was Escargon, who took notice of the hammer coming his way.

"Wait! Your Majesty! Don't swing that hammer!"

It was already too late. The hammer was swung and Escargon was sent flying away to somewhere past Dream Land. King Dedede, who thought he sent Chopper flying away, began to laugh.

"That's better! Wasn't that fun, Escargon?" King Dedede cackled until he heard no response. "Escargon...?"

"I didn't mean for that to happen..." Chopper trailed. "I hope he's OK..."

King Dedede began to steam as his face turned orange and grit his teeth in anger. Not only that, but he began to stomp on the ground as well, which looked rather funny than scary.

"WHAT? How on earth did I miss? Escargon, you idiot!" King Dedede yelled as he gripped his hammer and brought it up over Chopper. "All right! I'm going to be doing this the hard way! I'll send you off of this planet!"

"All right, fine!" Chopper challenged. "I guess I'm going to have to fight you!"

However, when they got into battle, they noticed something different. They were now fighting on a stage, and there was even an audience cheering for him as well. There weren't a lot of people there, but there were Cappies and Waddle Dee cheering, with the Cappies rooting for Chopper and the Waddle Dee cheering for King Dedede.

Before their fight could begin, the Mayor walked over to Chopper.

"Oh, yes! I forgot something! I know it might be a little helpful for you, so take it." the Mayor gave Chopper a hammer similar to King Dedede's, but a lot smaller. It had a star embossed on the face of the hammer, which Chopper remembered seeing with his normal hammer.

"Cool! I finally got a hammer!" Chopper smiled, holding up the hammer. "Though it's not like my Diamond Hammer, it's better than nothing."

"OK, Chopper, this is Battle time," the Mayor explained. "You know your moves, right?"

"Of course! Thankfully, I still have my Lucky Star on me, so I can take him with no problem! ...Though I hope I'll hurt him, considering how fat he is..."

"I'M NOT FAT" King Dedede yelled across the stage.

"Good!" the Mayor nodded. "Just remember this: King Dedede's not someone to mess with. He's like a dictator here, and he sure is a tyrant. Try not go get hurt while doing this, OK?"

"He shouldn't be hard! I've beaten people like him before! Watch this!" Chopper walked over to King Dedede and stomped on his head two times with his Jump attack.

"Nice work, Chopper! That's how you do it! You're doing a pretty good job at this, you know!" Chopper gave a thumbs up while smiling, just like when Professor Toadsmeth complimented him when he fought against Jr. Troopa the first time.

"So you can stomp on me. Big deal! THIS is a real attack!" King Dedede brought his hammer up as he walked toward Chopper. He brought it down on him and flattened him with it. A star appeared right next to Chopper after the king made his attack while the king cackled.

"Chopper! You see that star right by you? You can use your Inhale on that and either swallow it, or spit it out at Dedede." the Mayor explained. "Inhaling can have many effects, such as giving you a Copy Ability or simply nothing. I would recommend spitting it out at him for right now."

Chopper nodded and inhaled the star next to him and spat it at King Dedede, doing a good 2 damage. King Dedede grit his teeth and walked toward Chopper, coming down on him with a body slam. This flattened Chopper a bit, but he didn't have to worry. This king had a Max HP of 6 and only had 2 HP left!

"All right, time to test out my hammer on you!" Chopper brought his hammer out and brought it down on King Dedede, which made him fall over on the ground in defeat.

"Nice work, Chopper! You got some Star Points!" the Mayor smiled.

"Wait, Star Points?" Chopper gawked.

"If you don't remember, you get them after defeating an enemy. If you get 100 of them, you'll level up!"

"Oh... Now I remember!" Chopper smiled as he waggled his finger in victory and received 9 Star Points. After he finished his victory pose, King Dedede slowly got up while panting.

"Fine, you win, Chopper…" King Dedede groaned. "I think I've underestimated you…for now. Waddle Dee! Give everyone their food back. You can just cook something up for me instead."

"Men! Give them back the food!" the Waddle Doo captain ordered as the Waddle Dee dumped the food out of their sacks as they returned it to the Cappies.

"Don't think this is the last you'll see me!" King Dedede warned as he glared at Chopper. "I'll have my revenge on you one day… As for Escargon… I don't know where he is right now because of your actions. Then again, I don't need him to talk t—I mean plan with."

King Dedede made a sharp whistle and six Waddle Dees ran over to him and lifted him up, carrying him all the way back to the castle because he was too lazy to do it himself. It looked like the Waddle Dee were having a hard time, considering their stubby arms were shaking.

"Great work, Chopper! You just saved Hatty Town from famine!" the Mayor thanked. "I've never seen you fight, and I gotta say… I think you're the perfect one for the job!"

"What job?" Chopper wondered.

"Come into my house. I'll explain everything." Chopper gave the Mayor a nod as he followed him into his house and picked up the Magical Map on the table. "Chopper, I have a feeling that getting these twenty Crystal Stars won't be so easy. I think there will be many fights that you will have to endure, and I have a feeling that we're not the only ones who know about these stars. Chopper, I apologize for asking you this, but could you possibly go find those Crystal Stars? After fighting off that cloud monster Kracko a year ago, I think you can do the job!"

"A new adventure, huh? Well... That sounds interesting! I haven't been on an adventure for a while, so count me in! And without Maquano to bother me, I think I might have a little fun!" the pale green boy smiled. "By the way, what's that old thing on the table?"

"That's called a Magical Map," the Mayor explained as he picked up the old map. "A strange flying turtle named Parakarry came here to deliver this to me. He said it was from someone named Mario..."

"Hey! I know those two! I saw them two years ago!"

"Really? Well that's interesting to hear! Although, looking at this map, I don't see how it's old..."

"Let me see," Chopper pleaded.

The Mayor shrugged and gave Chopper the map, who looked at it. He could see many places on it, and in the middle of the map was a small town on a far distant island. However, there were other interesting places, such as a pale forest, a dark place full of dead trees, a peaceful meadow, and below it was a strange music place, a couple of islands to the south and a desert area as well (which were places not seen on the map before).

"Hmmm… This thing's really old. I wonder if we have anything that can show off its power - if it even has any..."

"Well, I believe there's one place that could help us," the Mayor recalled. "The Fountain of Dreams has the power to revitalize anything old and bring back its magic! I remember seeing a pedestal shaped like a star in the center of the round fountain. I believe if you showed off this map, you might be able to bring its power to use and find these Crystal Stars!"

"You really think so? Well, OK then! I suppose I should head over to the Fountain of Dreams!"

"Hold on, Chopper... I must go with you. I was given the map in the first place, and I would like to know what it does."

"Ummmmm... OK. I suppose I can let you come with me. Besides, what's the harm in that?" Chopper shrugged as they left the Mayor's house and headed toward the south path to head to the Fountain of Dreams. Little did they know that the Cappy hiding behind the house was watching them through the window and managed to listen to the whole conversation.

"So that weirdo DOES have the map!" the Cappy gaped. "And he's giving it to that little kid, too! A little kid! I mean, who gives maps to a round little kid that doesn't even look like he could fight squat?! ...Well, it doesn't matter. I made the right choice by coming here! Now the X-Nauts can finally make our comeback! Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh huh!"

The Cappy continued to cackle stupidly as he made his way past a couple of Cappies, who were rather confused with the rather short Cappy.

"Is that even a real Cappy?"

"Beats me," the other Cappy shrugged.


Outside of Hatty Town-

The landscape over where Chopper and the Mayor went was HUGE. There were two ways to go, and the way going to the left was being blocked. However, they could take the way going down and then go to the right. That would lead them to the Fountain of Dreams.

"So, Chopper… Are you liking how Dream Land looks?" the Mayor asked. "You haven't been here for a while, so that's why I'm asking you this question. How is it so far?"

"Well it's pleasant…but it wasn't when King Dedede came with his Waddle Dee, trying to rob everyone of their food." Chopper explained. "And… Hold on, let me look at this sign!"

Chopper made his way over to the sign nearby and began to read it. Unfortunately, he didn't have his ability to use the Speed Dash, but he didn't care how he lost it. He was just going to have to deal with it by moving on his own.

To switch between using your Inhale and your Hammer, press the L button!

"Hey! This reminds me of when I was on that path going to Toad Town! I saw a sign like this, but it told me that I can use a Mushroom to recover HP. Well, I wonder what's up ahead anyways. Might as well go."

Chopper headed on ahead with the Mayor following him. A Waddle Dee with a spear noticed them going toward the Fountain of Dreams, so it blocked their way.

"Stop right there!" the Waddle Dee shouted, making Chopper stop. "You're Chopper, aren't you? Well I got orders from King Dedede to keep you away from that fountain! I don't know why, but he had a hunch you were coming here. Time to make him proud!"

"Chopper, be careful! That's one of King Dedede's henchmen, the Waddle Dee!" the Mayor warned. "They're not really as dangerous as you think they are, actually. Just watch out for those spears. Since he's pointing it down, you should be able to jump on him. Don't go near it with your hammer or else you'll take 'll take damage if you stomp on it when its spear is up. Use your hammer instead, or just inhale the spear instead!"

"They're not so tough, so I can handle this one!" Chopper assured as he jumped onto the Waddle Dee and left it with 1 HP left, since they had 3 HP.

"Oh, not bad… But let's see if you can handle this!" the Waddle Dee came charging at Chopper with its spear, but Chopper spun around, and the Waddle Dee got hit by his counterattack, making it get defeated and dropping 3 Star Points and some coins and hearts.

"Whoa… What did I just do there? I just spun around and the Waddle Dee took damage from it. Odd…"

"Hmmm… I believe that's called the Superguard." the Mayor explained. "You don't take ANY damage when you use it, and you can hurt the opponent too, even if they have a strong defense. However, it's not easy to time, but if you can use it, then you'll be safe from harm."

"The Superguard, huh? That sounds interesting… I can use it to damage any enemies I see around here? Cool!" Chopper smiled and headed on through the grassland place. There were some Bronto Burts flying around, so Chopper stomped on one of the two Bronto Burts and he landed a first strike, stomping on the one at the front first and defeating it.

"Nice work, Chopper! You just made a First Strike! You can start a battle if one of you guys attacks. Also, note that the Bronto Burts are above the ground. Your hammer won't reach them, so you'll need to jump on their heads. Your inhale can get 'em too. Actually, it can get any enemy around you."

Since it was still Chopper's turn, he used his Inhale to suck the Bronto Burt into his mouth like a vacuum and spit it out to defeat it. For that fight, 6 Star Points were given. Chopper looked through the bushes after defeating the Bronto Burts and found some coins and also a Watermelon, which could recover 5 HP.

"A watermelon? I could probably use this later." Chopper assured as he put it away and moved on.

Once they made it to the next area, they saw the pathway to the Fountain of Dreams, but to the north was a hill where a tree rested. A girl with pale yellow skin that was twice as Chopper, long, pale yellow hair that was kept in an ornate ponytail held by orange and purple clasps, a one-piece outfit which was pink on the top and green on the bottom, separated by a zigzag and large, orange feet was writing something down in her little booklet, which matched her outfit.

Up on a tree was a light orange young boy who was a head taller than Chopper with the top of his hair being orange and the tips being green, with the colors separated by a zigzag. His hair went down over his eyes, which was very well hidden. He wore a pair of purple shorts held up by a single red suspender and had dark green feet.

"Why, isn't that Fumu and Bun over there?" the Mayor noticed. "They must be hanging out over by that tree. But why?"

"Fumu and Bun? Who are they?" Chopper questioned as he looked up at the two children at the hill.

"I wish you were able to see them before. Fumu is a smart girl, but has a short temper, and Bun loves to play sports like soccer and also pull pranks on people such as King Dedede. They're the children of Parm and Memu Parm. Well they're both known as Sir Parm and Lady Parm by most people."

"Hey, Sis! It's the Mayor from Hatty Town!" Bun exclaimed to his sister, who stopped writing and looked down the hill to see the two. She and her brother went down to greet the Mayor.

"Mayor! We never expected you to be coming over here!" Fumu gasped. "Why ARE you here anyway?"

"Why, we're going to the Fountain of Dreams!" the Mayor explained. "I got a letter saying that darkness will soon cover the skies and will destroy everything in its path! I don't know who sent it, but it was said that we need twenty Crystal Stars to keep the universe safe from that evil darkness. That's why a good friend of mine, Chopper, is here to help."

"Chopper? He looks…a lot like Kirby. But… He's got fingers and a pair of antennae. I wonder if he knows him." Bun wondered as Chopper smacked his forehead.

"I met him before, but not for that long," Chopper recalled. "I'm from Clara, a planet from another galaxy. I'm here to save the universe from...whoever sent that letter with those Crystal Stars!"

"Maybe this is the work of Nightmare," Fumu deduced. "He would definitely have a plan like this. Though I remember that he was destroyed by Kirby. Is it possible that he returned?"

"The letter didn't even look like Nightmare's handwriting. It looked much more demonic…and it said, 'I dare you to find them, Chopper!' It was really scary when it suddenly appeared on the letter."

"Well whoever did it, he must want his revenge against the universe for some reason," the Mayor explained. "Fumu, Bun, we'll be going to the Fountain of Dreams right now. Please warn everybody about what we just said, but tell them Chopper will be handling this."

"Of course," Fumu nodded as she and Bun left the area and returned to Cappy Town.

"All right now, Chopper… We better go to the Fountain of Dreams this instant! Hopefully it can get that Magical Map to work and use its magic of some sort to find the first Crystal Star!"

"Good idea!" Chopper agreed as he ran toward the path to the Fountain of Dreams. When they got to the end of the pathway, they could see the sky become darker, with the stars up in the sky. The sign said that to the right was the fountain.

They began to head toward the Fountain of Dreams, and off at the distance, a blue, spherical-shaped being with purple feet wearing a silver mask, navy blue shoulder pads, and a blue cape was watching the two go with his yellow eyes while his cape was wrapped around him. While he was shaped like Chopper, he was a little bigger than him.

"That boy… Could it be?" the warrior gasped. "So... He finally arrived in this place. I wasn't expecting him to be on this journey so soon..."

His cape transformed into wings and he began to fly off, hoping to find these answers.


Fountain of Dreams-

Once they stepped off of the green grass, Chopper stepped into some shallow water. They could see a pedestal in the middle of the water shaped like a star and also a short pillar where the Star Rod was meant to be. When the Mayor noticed the Star Rod was gone, he was in total shock.

"Where's the Star Rod? I swore that it was here when I came here before… Don't tell me this is another doing of that demon…" the Mayor trailed. "Well I don't know what we can do right now. That star pedestal can probably give us a hand, so why don't you step on it?"

"All right, then," Chopper walked over to the pedestal, and once he jumped onto it, there was a sudden flash that caught him off guard. "What the…! What's going on?"

A huge blue circular light appeared around the pedestal and twenty round lights appeared too, leaving the two amazed.

"What the heck?"

"Could this be…? Chopper! The map!" the Mayor gasped as he noticed the Magical Map come out of Chopper's hands and slowly float up.

"Hey! What's it doing up there?"

Many small, light stars began to go into the map, surrounding it in a white glow. After another flash, Chopper noticed something was starting to reveal itself on the map.

Where all the pink was on the map, it began to sparkle, and there was a train that appeared of many colors and a track leading to a place filled with many musical notes and instruments. Next to it is some kind of place full of toys, which made him gawk. A gray Crystal Star appeared on the map, as if it were life-like.

Chopper has learned a special move! You can now use Sweet Treat! Each time you get a Crystal Star, you'll learn a new special move!

"Mayor! Take a look at this!" Chopper gasped as he grabbed a hold of the map while his antennae sprung up.

"Oh my! So the Fountain of Dreams CAN help us with this hunt!" the Mayor gaped as he looked at the map. "…But where on earth is this place to go to? Dream Land doesn't have any worlds like those! Hmmm… We should return to my house. Maybe I'll find a book on something."


Mayor's house-

The Mayor was checking through his books, but he seemed to not be finding anything. "Great… I'm not finding anything from this. I've check through every single book, and I found nothing."

"What about this book?" Chopper asked as he picked up a red book sitting on the table and opened it, which showed a city getting destroyed and some ancient writing related to the Crystal Stars. "Ummmmm... Can you help me?"

"Sure," the Mayor took the book and began to read it. "It says, 'To find the Crystal Stars, one must go to the town where the destruction took place.' It also says that it's in a place called Rogueport. It's from a whole different galaxy on another planet..."

"Rogueport? Another galaxy? Oh, man... I don't even know where that is. And I don't think that teleporter will give me a hand either!"

"Why not use a Warp Star to go?" the Mayor suggested as they walked out of the house. "I think that would be a good idea! I also called a friend to come here. He should be here any minute."

"Poyo? (Did somebody call me?)" a pink puffball shaped like Chopper with short, stubby arms, hot pink blushes and red feet named Kirby asked as he landed with a floating star called a Warp Star.

"Why, hello there, Kirby! I would like you to meet Chopper! He's the one who's helping me with the hunt for the Crystal Stars."

"Hey, Kirby!" Chopper smiled as he waved.

"I asked Kirby to come here so he can help you with the hunt," the Mayor informed. "I don't think that you'll be able to do this alone, so that's why I wanted him to come here. You two will be able to get to know each other a little more."

"Oh... I guess that's cool! My name's Kirby!"

"Poyo! (And you know who I am!)" Kirby cheered.

"Yeah, I do!"

"You can understand him?" the Mayor gawked.

"Yeah... I don't know why... Maybe it's something my kind understands? I'm not so sure... Anyway, I guess we have to use those Warp Star thingies to go. How do I use one?"

"Poyo! (It's really easy!)" Kirby assured. "Poyo! (Just whistle and you'll summon a Warp Star! Let's see how you can ride it, that is!)"

"OK…" Chopper trailed as he made a sharp (yet horrible) whistle, making a yellow Warp Star fly behind him, picking him up and leaving Dream Land while sitting on it, with Kirby following him on his. "Aaaaah! I can't control this thing!"

"Good luck, Chopper and Kirby!" the Mayor shouted, waving goodbye. "I sure hope he can use that Warp Star…"


Space-

"Whoooooooa!" Chopper shouted as he left Pop Star and was now in space. "I'm having such a hard time controlling this thing!"

"Poyo! (Just stay relaxed and stand up!)" Kirby cried. "Poyo! (If you move your body a little to the left or right, you'll be able to control it! Move your body back or forward will help you move up or down! Just stay relaxed!)"

"OK!" Chopper nodded as began to stand up and felt a little nervous. After flying through space long enough, he could see a planet up ahead that he remembered seeing in the book, so he moved his body forward and was heading down there.

"Hey… This is actually pretty fun! I'm getting this now! Weeeee!" Chopper cheered as he performed a corkscrew right by the moon. However, there was something odd about the moon. There appeared to be a fortress surrounded by a light blue transparent dome with two towers with turrets watching Chopper and Kirby fly past them.

"Hey, dude! Who are those green and pink freaks on those stars?" one person asked. "They look kind of weird…but I don't like them!"

"I say we blast them out of the sky! …Or space, for that matter." the turrets began to fire blasts at the two Warp Stars, which Chopper and Kirby happened to notice.

"Poyo? (What's going on?)" Kirby asked.

"I have no idea! We're being attacked!" Chopper shrieked as their Warp Stars got blasted, making them plummet down to Earth. However, the difference was that they were rather far from each other when they got knocked off their Warp Stars.

"AAAAAAGHHHHHH!"

This was definitely not a good way to start an adventure.


Nope, definitely not a good way to start an adventure. :P

Now, just like in Paper Chopper's prologue, there's a little interlude in the middle. And just like that story, the scene's going to shift somewhere else. Where, you ask? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter. ;)

Oh, and I use the parenthesis for Kirby to show what he's actually saying. It's kind of like the Bloopers from Paper Mario, where their language is translated for people to understand. You got that? All right, good! :D
