Chapter 3: Pursuiting the Unexpected
Kirby woke up a few seconds after losing concoiusness. The pain in his back was unbearable. He felt as if he were slashed by a sword but he didn't even see a mark on his body. The pain only hurt him internally. He eventually grasped onto what happened.
Kirby: Ugghhh, what happened?
He still felt dizzy but he was still able to notice that Shadow Kirby was breathing rather hard. Blood was dripping out of the gash Kirby gave him with the sword. Shadow Kirby got up slowly and began talking in a vague voice.
Shadow Kirby: The reason why you felt any pain even though nothing stroke you was because since I'm your shadow, whenever something hurts me, it hurts you...
Kirby: And vice-versa?
Shadow Kirby: YOU'LL SEE AND DON'T INTERRUPT ME AGAIN! Anyway, whenever you feel something, I feel it too but I don't feel a thing when you do anymore!
Kirby: What? But how?
Shadow Kirby: It's because I possess the Amulet of Recoil! It allows one to endure the shock of recoil by transferring shock absorbers into the place of recoil even before the recoil hits!
He showed Kirby a sparkling, shiny red amulet hanging from his neck. The amulet was a bit chipped but it looked as if it were half of a real amulet.
Kirby: So where's the other half of it?
Shadow Kirby: That's nothing to talk about!
Kirby: Alrighty then, why are you showing signs of fatigue and why do look as if you finished fighting off a tough opponent.
Shadow Kirby: Oh so your trying to make yourself all strong-like by asking that question, huh? It's really recause the gash in my side you just made hurt me a lot. Anyway, I got what I wanted from the warden so I think I'll be leaving now.
Shadow Kirby crouched and sprouted bat wings from his back. The wings were about the size of the Warden's desk each. He turned around, facing the escape pod on the wall, and opened it. The vacumm of space was sucking Kirby in but instead Shadow flew inside it and flew right into space.
Kirby: Hey, were not done yet, coward! WARPSTAR!
The warpstar came speeding out of the docking area and flew outside of the escape pod tube. He opened it and he was sucked into it because of the vacumm of space. He popped out the tube and was floating. He grabbed the Warpstar before he drifted away in space. He then saw Shadow Kirby and chased after him. When they were within talking distance, they started talking.
Shadow Kirby: Are you sure you want to follow me?
Kirby: I'll do anything or whatever it takes to get back whatever you stole from the warden!
Shadow Kirby: Then so be it but don't say I didn't warn you!
The chase was on. Shadow K. and Kirby were speeding into space. Kirby didn't know where this was going to lead him but he didn't care. Really, they were heading toward the quadrant that was full of black holes but Kirby didn't care. It wasn't long before they ended up near the center of the quadrant where the biggest black hole was when Kirby finally realized where he was.
Kirby: Oh no! I got to turn back.
But he was too late, the Warpstar ran out of fuel it exploded because of the dart that Shadow K. put implanted on it before he left. To make matters worse, he was getting sucked into the blackhole nearest to him. Kirby couldn't do anything and was helpless as he neared the black hole. He was gaining speed until he reached the speed faster than the speed of light. By then, he got sucked into the blackhole.
When Kirby woke up, he found himself in a meadow outside a town that was full of mushroom headed people. Kirby read the sign that said Toad Town on it. He then noticed somebody was coming towards him. He noticed that it was a woman with a green capped mushroom as a head. She was collecting herbs but she stopped when she saw Kirby near the spring in the meadow.
Toadina: Oh noe, an injured marshmallow!
Kirby: NOT A MARSHMALLOW!
Toadina: Sorry. I see that your wounds are open. Let's take you to the inn.
So Kirby the marshmallow...
Kirby: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A WHITE, GELATIN INDUCED PUFFBALL?
Link'93: Sorry.
Anyway, she helped him into the inn, signed him in, and put him into a room where she could treat him. He enjoyed their dinners very much in fact he ate the whole dinner before enyone started eating for a few days. At around the time he was going to leave, a group of koopas with colored badanas and colored shells entered the inn. The leader, Red Ninjakoopa, stepped in front.
R. Ninjakoopa: Where's Kirby?
