Chapter 2: A Hero Revived
The illumination from the glow stick didn't even compare to the aura of peace and hope surrounding the frozen figure before Google. Even if he didn't know Gooey, he knew of Kirby. Before the falling out of Dedede's people, Google had lived in Dreamland in an orphanage. He remembered the long lecture walks the head mistress of the orphanage would take them on. He also remembered her smiling face. Before now he couldn't remember name, but the sight of Kirby seemed to allow him to reach every part of his brain. Her name was Karina. That name, for him, stood as a beacon of hope in his darkest moments, and because he was made from Dark Matter, he had many. Still, he believed Karina had been sent as his guardian. That she had been taking care of him, and molding him in the ways of good, for some special purpose. Then, the falling out occurred. That was perhaps the scariest day of his life. When the awful memories of that day tried to push their way outward, he silently pushed them back to a part of his self that he wished he would never have to see. It was in evil part. Even though he didn't wish to see that terrible day again, he knew that that was the point he stopped believing. All he knew was that he hadn't seen Karina since then. But now. Now that this pink wonder had come into his life, he felt a renewed since of hope. It was the hope he had felt when Karina tucked him in at night only ten years earlier. He was convinced. He had found Kirby, a truly admirable feat, not dead, not alive. Just sleeping. Soon, he knew, Kirby would need to be awakened.
The mayor unlocked a door that hadn't been unlocked for over eighty years. It was forbidden by any member of Dreamland to open it…unless the dreams returned. They did return. The mayor, when he was elected, would have betted anything, even his own life, that he would never have to open that huge metal door with the ominous lock. He would have died. The door opened with a hiss in front of the mayor and his assistant. White smoke poured out on them, causing them to cover their eyes for a moment. Then, the smoke cleared. Ahead of them was a tall podium. On it was a note. A simple note.
"Heh, that's all."
The mayor's assistant didn't tear his eyes away from the note. The mayor walked up slowly and picked it up. They read it together:
To who it may concern,
If you are reading this note, it is obvious that the Nightmare has returned. I have foreseen his return. To prepare for this awful day, I have frozen myself in a liquid that will slow my body down to a speed to a barely recognizable speed. One year will pass as an hour. Don't try to awaken me. The Chosen One has already been assigned that task. Soon, a great battle will take place, and both of us will be needed.
Do not fear,
Kirby
The mayor dropped the note and turned around to his assistant. "He lives. What happens next?"
The frightened assistant still had his eyes on the note. "I don't know, Sir. I don't know."
Google finally summoned the strength to look for a way to release him. He looked all around the block of ice, but there wasn't any switch. There wasn't even a switch around the ice block. He rested his body against the ice, thinking. Then, he noticed cold water running down his back. He was sinking into the melting ice. He jumped off of it and turned around. The ice was melting! He took a step closer to look at Kirby. One eye opened in the ice. Suddenly, he moved his right arm. The glass shattered, causing Google to faint once again.
The Nightmare moved swiftly over the sand dunes. He had failed to nip the impending war in the bud. Now all he could do was build up his army, turning, first, the denizens of Wasteland into his slaves. He smiled wickedly, as best as a shadow could. Kirby would be quite surprised with his handy work. He spotted the tents in the distance.
Google woke up with a start. His eyes were blurry, but he could see the color of pink. When he became fully awake he saw Kirby before him. "Do not be afraid Chosen One. It's just me." He smiled, rubbing his distinctive red shoes clean.
Google managed to get out a few words, "Ch…chosen one."
Kirby smiled in his recognizable warm way. "Yes. It is time, I see, for another adventure. You will accompany me Chosen One…er, what's your name anyway."
Google was wide awake with excitement now. "It's Google, Sir."
Kirby sucked in air and floated over to the ladder. "Just Kirby will do. Come on. We have to make it to the Wasteland area…and fast."
Google, after staring at Kirby's famous flying abilities, which none of the white Dreamlanders seemed to have, grabbed on to his shoes. They flew out of the hatch together, a team of heroic destiny. Kirby and Google.
The mayor stepped out in front of the now calmed down crowd. "People of Dreamland. I have opened the Sacred Vault."
The crowd responded with silence.
The mayor took a breath and continued, "Yes. I found only a note. On that note it said there is a war approaching rapidly."
The entire crowd exploded with mixed feelings.
The mayor calmed them down with various gestures. "Please settle down. I have good news too. Kirby, the Pink Wonder, will return." The mayor could hardly believe his own words.
In Next Chapter: We discover the source(my idea) of Kirby's power and Google learns of his lineage. The Nightmare proceeds with his Dark Plans.
