The Dreamland Story firstdraft

by GameTrekker

This is the original version of my Kirby epic, my own interpretation of the Kirby universe from years ago. The revised edition, written years later when I got much better at writing, will unfortunately never be completed, so I don't blame you if you want to look at this one.

29. Eye Mind

Chapter 29: Eye Mind

"Hey, Kracko! Over here!"

Kracko looked up, saw Kirby, and stopped itself from hitting the Halberd a split second before it would have collided.

"Ah, Star Warrior!" said Kracko. "Your timing is impeccable. You shall die with this ship!"

"No!" retorted Kirby. "I'm here to stop you!"

"What happened?"

"Why did Kracko stop?"

"Look! It's Kirby!"

Meta Knight: "Why did he save us? He would have had two foes gone in an instant, but instead he intervened. There must be some secret about Kirby that I have yet to learn."

At this point, Kirby and Kracko began to fight. There is no need to share the details, but Kirby did smile when he heard the continuing voices on the phone.

"Whoa!"

"So fast!"

"Are we really supposed to beat this guy?"

"How can he have so much power?"

"Now there's something you really don't want to get in your eye!"

Captain: "Sir Meta Knight, what should we do?"

Meta Knight: "We use the giant cannon to take a shot at both of them."

Kirby's smile disappeared.

Captain: "Sir, he just saved our lives. We're going to repay the favor by killing him? Have you no honor?"

Meta Knight: "I, Captain, have more honor than you can fathom. Have you ever wondered why Kirby saved us? There must be some plan of his that has to do with the Halberd. He wants us dead, but he must not want the Halberd destroyed. Killing him would solve this little problem. Besides, this is our best chance. If we can hit both of them while they're off guard, we'll kill two birds with one stone. Fire the cannon now!"

Captain: "Fire the giant cannon at Kirby and Kracko!"

BANG! The cannon fired.

Kirby dodged.

Kracko was blasted from its cloud garment yet again by yet another cannonball to the eye.

Kracko shot away into the distance, far, far away.

"We got Kracko!!!"

Meta Knight: "Quick, do a scan for any large, living, electrical organisms in Dreamland."

"Hey, that's some scanner," said Gooey. "I thought mine was the only one with that much power."

Meta Drone: "Nope, we killed it. Kracko's gone."

He's gone? thought Kirby. He's actually gone? Wow, no more Kracko.

Kirby landed on the left wing of the Halberd and stood there, stunned. Kracko was gone. He never thought it would be so easy.
