The master hand's laugh could be heard now in dreamland. Kirby was relaxing when he first heard it, but now he looked around as the sky grew dark and everything around him was being sucked into a black hole like object in the sky.

He got onto his warpstar and flew up to the object. This oddly enough was sucking everything in, except him.

He looked at the center of the object and saw none other than the Masterhand.

I don't know if it was from shock or fear, but Kirby was frozen all the same. Unable to believe what he was seeing, nor able to move.

"Well, look at who it is, the star warrior who is too stupid to talk. Why don't you be a good boy and stay there until I'm done. I only have to keep you alive because I want Mario to see you die slowly, so don't make me ruin my own fu- ah!" The master hand turned to where he was looking at whatever it was that hit him just now. "What is he doing here!? His home hasn't even been touched yet so why does he care so much!?"

Down on the ground a brown well… Fox stood on his back paws so that he looked human with how he was standing. In his hand, pointing up, directly at the master hand, a laser rifle. Aimed perfectly just in case he had to fire again.

"Yo Kirby! You stuck or something? I can always come up there if you nee-"

"He's fine Fox! He's just a little freaked out is all. How would you feel if your home was being destroyed right before your eyes?"

Fox smiled "I wouldn't know, I seem to have to remind you I still exist because you forgot about my home world or something. Am I too small for you to care about the fact that I could end your ruling right here, right now?"

"Don't make me laugh, you can't possibly mean that, you are not one of the original heroes, what threat are you to me?"

"Maybe I didn't make myself clear… digits off Nintendo's Trademarks!" When Fox said this, master hand got hit by not only his rifle but also Ness' P.K. Fire and Yoshi through an egg at him just for good measure.

[If you've been paying attention, anytime 3 or more official characters from Nintendo attacks collide at the same time a portal is opened to where ever they are thinking of. Characters from the Mushroom Kingdom however are able to open portals at will as Mario did last chapter.]

When the Master hand was pulled into this portal however, there were two locations that were being thought about at the same time. A mistake that we would regret at a later time when we found out what the effect of this mistake was. Yoshi grabbed Kirby with his tongue and spat him out when he got to the ground only so he could role until he was upside down on top of one of Fox's feet.

"Well, I gotta hand it to ya little guy, You were absolutely no help at all back there…" Kirby crossed his tiny arms. I don't know what it was, but the two were doomed from this point on to never really get along.

"It's not his fault, unlike most of us he's actually seen the Master Hand before. Right Yoshi?" A… young looking boy walked up with a yoyo in hand. I don't expect you to know him or his game series very well if at all. I mean, I didn't know it either. This is Ness, from the Mother games. He's a little taller than me, and looks kind of like if you took Red, and made him have the body shape of let's say… Kirby… if he had a body.

"Wait… Yoshi saw the hand before this all started?" (Yoshi smacked his or her… you know what?!) Yoshi smacked its forehead with its hand as if Fox was just plain stupid. It might have also been that Fox ignored the fact that Ness was in a way saying the Master Hand had always been in the background watching us basically from the day Nintendo made what you know as the Arcade Version of Donkey Kong.

"Kirby, who are these… things?" Kirby's eyes grew small for a second, than he got back to his feet and stood between the newcomer and the group of Ness, Fox and Yoshi.

Kirby said pie-ya a few times or something like that and the newcomer relaxed. "So you saved him hu?"

"Yes?" I'm not sure if it was that Fox didn't want to admit to protecting the pink fluff ball or is he just didn't like this newcomer. The tone in his voice could have been either.

"My name is Meta-" before the newcomer could answer he turned gray and Kirby waved his hand in front of him.

"He noticed us… That's not happened anywhere else. Everywhere I've gone it's been like I was a ghost until I came to Corneria and I met you." Ness felt it was important to point this out before Meta something or other vanished.

"So then why would this guy be any different from everyone else?"

"Exactly, and this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Someone from my world noticed that Yoshi existed but he still vanished like this guy is doing right now." Kirby looked at Ness fear in his eyes as well as tears. He tried to hug the guy who's name was still unknown but he became nothing but black dust that blew away.

If you don't know this small detail about Kirby you won't really understand him. When he came to dreamland he was in his warpstar and he was traveling the galaxy. An alarm was set off by King Deedeedee's collection of monsters and so Kirby was woken up from a slumber that should have lasted much longer too early. Star warriors take longer than you or even a Pokemon like me to age. Due to this early wakening he is still very much a child and so he can't really speak.

"Who was he?" Fox finally asked.

Yoshi answered his question by writing in the dirt the word 'Metanight'. Kirby looked at Yoshi with a shocked look on his face.

Kirby looked puzzled and asked Yoshi something, Yoshi in turn looked at Ness as if he wanted him to answer for him. Chances where Fox wanted to know how he knew that guy's name if they had never met.

"Mario" Ness smiled. "He told you about all of us didn't he?"

Yoshi yelled his name and gave a thumbs up to Ness.

"Hold it! If you knew about all of us how come you acted as if you no clue who I was when you first saw me?" Fox didn't really enjoy being a sort of outsider.

"Because you were fine, if you haven't noticed your home is the only one that hasn't been touched yet. Master Hand has something against all of us… Except you." Yoshi shook his head is disagreement.

"What other reason would he have?"

Yoshi wrote in the dirt again.

Mario told me about all of you yes, but my knowledge about

Fox is limited. I remember Mario telling me about you but at the

Same time I can't remember a thing he said.

Master Hand has been here ever since Mario went by the name of

Jumpman. For some reason however he's waited until now to make

his move. We've known forever that Master Hand wants to basically replace Mario.

We just haven't known when he would do this.

The fact that he has nothing against Fox could be why I can't remember anything

That Mario said. He did let us remember each other as long as we had met before now, but at the same time he's limiting our memories, so Fox, it's almost like you… don't

Exist because none of us have memory of you or anything having to do with you.

As you are probably picturing Fox was not to happy when he read this. "so that's how it's going to be" he said under his breath. He had already become sick and tired of being basically a nobody up to this point, and now he was exactly that. Dreamland became gray and blew away like sand, but no one fell. They stood in a void where there seemed to be a ground.

Ness looked at Yoshi and Yoshi avoided eye contact, as if he had said something wrong. When Kirby tried to get their attention neither of them looked up, they both knew what had happened. He'd vanished… The Master Hand now controlled Fox.
