It didn't take Kirby long to figure out that the walk from Green Greens to the Fountain of Dreams was a trip that he would much rather only take once - one he took back in the NightMare incident. But the way he was taking was even longer because he wanted to visit his home and get some items before he left. Meta Knight couldn't have POSSIBLY gotten someone there already, could he? If he did, Kirby was confident in his fighting abilities. He was sure that he would be fine.
Kirby let out a yelp of alarm as he tripped over a small pile of leaves, being flung through the air due to his momentum. The pink puffball landed on his face, letting out an angered groan. "Why…just..why…" He mumbled as he slowly rolled back up to sit. The pink puffball rubbed his eyes, seeing if he had been injured and relaxed once he found none. He wasn't quite the best medic but he knew that he was going to have to learn. The last time he had learned anything medical was when Bubua had been crushed under a tree. Her wings had been broken and she had a concussion but both were quickly healed. Later he learned that the tree falling was Beier's fault. So was the case with nearly everything that had gone wrong with the amnesiac assassin.
The pink puffball stood up and dusted the leaves off his pink pelt before he set off once more, sapphire eyes narrowed in determination. He had to get to his home quickly. He would like to get there before nightfall - it was going to be a longer trip to the Fountain than he would like, but it had to be done. Besides, he needed something to defend himself with just in case one of Meta Knight's knaves thought of trying to stop him from getting to the Fountain.
He wasn't quite sure why that thought crossed his mind. Why would someone try to keep him from leaving the place he'd been banished from? Besides, Meta Knight didn't say to leave immediately! He just said to leave before he changed his mind! Kirby smiled at the thought and picked up his pace. Yes, he was certain now that he would have plenty of time to get to his old home before he left for the Fountain of Dreams.
—Skipping Intensifies—
Kirby practically threw the door to his home open. He had forgotten how far Green Greens was from Vegetable Valley - where he lived - and barely kept himself from flopping on his bed. He had to get to work. Kirby groaned and walked around his room, just to admire it one last time. He then picked up his bed's blanket, spread it out on the floor, and got to work picking things up. The Shard Ribbon had given to him at the award ceremony after the second Dark Matter incident. The Sock to PatchLand that he kept in a jar (it was a bit smelly but Kirby didn't have a nose but he did have guests over a lot of the time) which he took out to put on the blanket. A petal from the DreamStalk's flower. He glanced around his home for anything else but saw nothing else of importance. Sighing, he tied up the fuzzy blanket around the items and grabbed his Final Cutter from under his pillow. He was already wary of people trying to kill him and he had to use this more than once. It was the only weapon that Kirby didn't need an ability to use well, and he was always proud of himself when he managed to disarm a foe with his scythe-like weapon.
He quietly shut the door behind himself, balancing the blanket bag on his head and holding his weapon with his right paw. Kirby took in a deep breath before he marched off, the sun setting somewhere off to his left. If his understanding of direction were anything to go by, the Fountain was supposed to be somewhere north. Of course Kirby didn't need directions - the WarpStar was always at the Fountain of Dreams (unless he was riding it of course) and it was linked directly to his soul according to Meta Knight.
Kirby stopped walking once his mentor's name came to mind. He found himself growling and glaring off into nothingness. Kirby slowly shook his head before picking up his pace. He had to get going. He really shouldn't even still be in DreamLand at this point and was really risking it.
He most certainly knew he was when he was tackled to the ground suddenly.
