Dream Land, the planet Popstar
Kirby dimension
The little pink puffball lay unmoving beneath the tree, his eyes closed dreamily. His mouth opened with a yawn before drifting off to sleep…
A loud crash sent Kirby flying awake, making him yell loudly as a result of his nap being disturbed. In the distance, he could see smoke. Rushing off as fast as his feet could carry him, Kirby ran to the scene to see what was up.
Upon approaching the smoking crater, Kirby stared at what lay inside. A crystal. A glowing, blue crystal sparking with lightning. Kirby paused before advancing into the crater. This crystal may have been a piece of a meteorite, but still, it looked powerful.
Kirby guessed that it contained a new source of power. He could probably gain new abilities if he inhaled and copied it.
So that was exactly what he did. Kirby opened his mouth and sucked in, creating a miniature tornado that made the crystal tremble and shake. In just ten seconds, the crystal sprang out from the ground and flew into Kirby's mouth.
Kirby swallowed, anxious for the new form he would be given. He waited… and waited… and waited…
Phooey. It was just an ordinary cryst-
Suddenly, Kirby began to crackle with electricity. Maybe the crystal had a bad aftertaste or something. As the pink puffball shook faster and faster… he blinked away from Dream Land.
Kirby screamed as the swirling blue tunnel surrounded him from all sides. He was moving as fast as his Warp Star… maybe the Dragoon. Before he could even inflate himself to float into the air with his little jumps, the tunnel vanished and Kirby began to fall to the ground.
Kirby screamed as the ground rushed up to meet him. He didn't have time to think about how to escape his doom…
…before a flash of yellow entered his vision and a streak of lightning slammed into him, making him tumble to the ground.
"Poyo…" Kirby groaned, standing up. Curiously, he looked around to see what had caused the lightning, only for his eyes to land on a small mouse-like creature with pointy ears, red circles on its cheeks and a lightning bolt-shaped tail.
"Pika?" it said, tilting its head in confusion.
