The Dark Age

Disclaimer: I don't own Kirby, but I do own Malfesto, Monorage, Omecha, Mecha Kirby, and Omni Matter! Don't use these without my permission! E-mail me to get my permission! The Crest of Annihilation belongs to Star Ocean: The Second Story.

Note: This takes place 3 months after Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

O2, NME, Dark Matter, and Mecha Kirby were trying to create the ultimate monster to take down Kirby. Mecha Kirby was a metallic version of Kirby that O2 invented after his defeat at the hands of Kirby and Ribbon.

"We just need one more thing to make the monster invincible!" Mecha Kirby exclaimed. "The Star Rod!"

"But how will we get it?" O2 asked.

"I already have it!" exclaimed NME.

"Huh!?!" Dark Matter cried out.

"Just before Kirby beat me in Kirby's Adventure, I was able to switch the real one with a plastic one that had the same powers!" NME cried joyously.

"Terrific!" Mecha Kirby cheered. He then took the Star Rod from NME, and placed it in the monster's hand. Instantly, there was an explosion. After the smoke cleared, the monster had come alive! All lay speechless for a few minutes. O2 was the first to speak.

"Yes! We did it! We shall call it Malfesto!"

"Hmph, what pathetic creatures!" Malfesto thundered after a while.

"We're not pathetic! Now go destroy Kirby! I command you!" NME called out angrily after getting to his feet.

"Why should I bother with one puny enemy when I can destroy the universe! Mwahahaha!!!!!!" Malfesto laughed out. "I shall start with you!" Malfesto raised his hand and shot out an aqua-blue beam from it. The whole room exploded.

"Now that they're dead, I must find the Crest of Annihilation!" Malfesto thought out loud. Then he flew off, but unknown to him, O2, NME, Dark Matter, and Mecha Kirby were still very much alive. The beam had completely missed them! (You'll find out how probably by Chapter 5.)

"We must stop him before he invokes the Crest of Annihilation!" O2 screamed.

"But how?" NME asked.

"We must do it." Mecha Kirby whispered.

"Do what?" Dark Matter asked.

"We must ask Kirby to help us destroy Malfesto!" Mecha Kirby exclaimed

"Are you crazy!?!" Dark Matter shrieked.

"We can't do that!" O2 bellowed.

"Mecha Kirby is right, I'm afraid!" NME muttered.

"Huh!?!" All 3 of the others gasped.

"Kirby has defeated all our other monsters. Maybe he can defeat Malfesto!" NME cried

Meanwhile.

"Yum! A picnic was a great idea!" Kirby exclaimed. He was with his friends Waddle Dee, Adeleine, King DeDeDe, and Ribbon. Adeleine was painting food to eat. Suddenly, dark clouds began to gather.

"It looks like rain." King DeDeDe said while feeling for raindrops. Suddenly, they saw a white cloud coming toward them.

"Wait a minute! That's Kracko!" Kirby exclaimed.

"Hi Kirby! I finally got that job as a rain cloud!" Kracko rejoiced.

"Good job!"

"I'm on my break now. By the way, Meta Knight challenged you to another duel!"

"I"ll get there as soon as possible!"

"Bye!"

"Bye!" Kracko floated off.

Note: By now, you're probably wondering why Kirby didn't fight Kracko. Kirby and Kracko became friends soon after they fought on Kirby's Adventure, which is why Kracko isn't on Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. That and Kracko is my favorite Kirby character.

"Got to go face Meta Knight again!" Kirby explained as he hurried off. When he got there, he sensed something was wrong. Meta Knight was without his sword and mask!

"I was hoping you'd make it, Kirby! My name is Monorage! I was sent by Master Malfesto to destroy you!" Monorage thundered out. He froze time for Kirby and proceeded to power up his most powerful attack. Kirby was helpless. All he could do was watch as Monorage powered up his attack. Monorage then unleashed his ultimate attack, Soul Crusher! But, just before the attack could hit, a cloaked figure swooped down and carried him away. Kirby couldn't tell who it was, but he was just glad to be alive! A few hours later, they reached a castle. They flew through the window. Then the lights came on. Kirby could see his worst enemy, O2 along with Dark Matter, Mecha Kirby and NME, who was the one who saved him.

"Why'd you save me!?! Kirby cried out, puzzled. O2 explained the whole thing to him.

"Will you help us?" Dark Matter pleaded.

"I guess I have no choice! I'll help!" Kirby agreed.

Will Kirby be able to stop Malfesto? Is O2 and the rest sincire? Why'd they create Malfesto in the first place? Who's good and who's bad? Find out soon!
