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.

33. This Claimer

Chapter 33: This Claimer

Hello, readers, it's me, the author of this story. I have a few things to say about the story and how it is related to the Kirby games.

1. There is no game that features Kirby going up against Dark Matter with the star rod. In Kirby's Dreamland 2, Kirby killed Dark Matter with the rainbow sword and in Kirby's Adventure, Kirby killed Nightmare with the star rod. My story does not exactly follow the games.

2. This is about Kirby's most-recently-acquired power: the ability to combine abilities like he could in Kirby 64. Obviously, since Kirby can get so many more original powers in my story, this will lead to a gigantic amount of abilities that Kirby can use. However, not all of them are the same as in Kirby 64. For instance, Spark + Cutter does not give Kirby the Chainsaw ability in Kirby 64. Furthermore, it is Spark + Stone, not Beam + Stone that, in Kirby 64, gives him the Electric-Wrecking-Ball ability. As you can see, my story is different from the game.

3. In the games, Gooey is definitely NOT the CEO of a company. Gooey appeared in Kirby's Dreamland 3 as player 2. In the game, Gooey was a dopey friend and follower of Kirby. In case you can't already tell, MY STORY IS DIFFERENT FROM THE GAMES!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kirby or any of the characters in this story (so far), but I do own much of the storyline and such, so, do not rip me off!

Thank you. Stay tuned for some more explaining. This time it will be done by Gooey.

"Kirby," said Gooey. "I have an updated list of the abilities you can acquire without using your combining power."

"Yeah?" replied Kirby.

"Here's the list," said Gooey. "Cutter, Beam, Sword, Spark, Fire, Stone, High-Jump, Bomb, Ice, Fighter, Needle and Hammer. Then there are some one-time-use-only abilities that you cannot combine with others. They are Crash, Light and Paint. There are probably more of each list, but you have yet to find them."

"Okay," acknowledged Kirby. "By the way, where should I be going now?"

"Well," replied Gooey, "you can't leave without first destroying the Halberd."

"Why not?"

"Your mission is to save Dreamland, remember? Destroying this thing is part of your mission. It must be, because if you leave it around, Dreamland will not be safe!"

"Okay, but how am I supposed to destroy it?"

"You need to get inside and blow up the reactor core. This will deprive the Halberd of the power it needs to stay aloft. There must be an entrance on the underside. I'll send a warpstar to take you to there and I'll send with it a maximum tomato. All that battling must have hard."

"Thanks. Let's destroy this thing and get out of here."
