Chapter 7: Horrendous Fate

Kirby and Yasher saw what was happening as the Toads were quickly building up barricades as some were packing up and getting ready to leave as if something was going to happen, something bad. The two starting questioning themselves on what was currenty going on.

Kirby: What do you think the locals are taking up shelters and running away?

Yasher: Beats me but we need to find the first Star Spirit fast! It'll only bring us one step closer to defeating Shadow Kirby and you getting back to your dimension. We'll have to depend upon spilting up and try to find somebody who knows about the Star Spirit.

Kirby: Right! When we find the poor sap who knows about the Star Spirit, then we'll call to the other person we'll get in on the information, too. Got it? Now let's get to work on find that Star Spirit!

Yasher: Right! Now let's go so we can cover more ground making it faster for us.

Yasher concentrated all of his energy into his back and suddenly, a wing full of elegant feathers popped right out of his back and another one did the same thing on the opposite side of his back. Kirby got on his back and flew towards the Toad Town Square. The fountain that usually spewed water from the tip of it stopped and the water lay still, reflecting the pitch black sky. The residents were already half-way through their prepartions. It was baffling to the two for nobody walked about and some of the Toads left and fled form town, taking refuge at Goomba Village and Koopa Village. As the two snapped out of it, they finally got to work.

Kirby: Ok we know what to do so Yasher, you go take the Southern Side of the town while I search the Northern Side of the town. Now do you remember what to do when we find the person who knows about Star Spirit?

Yasher: Yep, just holler!

The town seperated from each with Kirby starting at the town entrance and Yasher starting off at the Toad Town Harbor. Kirby tried to question the locals very thoroughly in hopes of trying to leak some information out of them but all they did was ignore him and resumed their unknown labor but only much faster. When Yasher asked them his questions all they did was the same thing, ignore him and resume work. Many hours passed and already the two were tired out and much weak. The two starting thinking that they would never find at least one individual who would know about the Star Spirit so Kirby just laid down on his back and spread himself on the ground. He looked up in the sky and almost started daydreaming but as he looked at the moon, he lost all signs of fatigue and quickly got up. The moon was bloodshot-red. Kirby gazed off looking past the moon thinking.

Kirby: Could have to be connected to why the locals are taking refuge?

Suddenly Kirby heard a huge yell and Kirby recognized it instantly. It was Yasher so he ran like a bullet train to Yasher's location and saw that he was waving his hand in the air. He was standing next to an elder. He walked up to the two and greeted himself to the elder.

Kirby: Oh Yasher, who is this?

Yasher: Oh, this is one of the Toad Town Elders. He has a lot of knowlegde and apperantly knows about Alistar.

Kirby: Well then let's hear it!

Toad Town Elder: Alright now kids, here the rumor, well more like fact or story. A long time ago, the Star Spirit was held captive a behemoth! It has terrorized our town for generations until one day when the beast was going on a rampage through the town, a hero shining as bright as a star came and sealed it away in a void. We have been living in peace ever since but just recently a person that looks like your friend right here...

He was pointing towards Kirby. The two automatically knew who he was talking about.

Kirby: Shadow Kirby...

Toad Town Elder: Yes, well. That person open the void and released the behemoth and upon releasing it he said "Beware for it shall be the night the moon is covered in blood, that when the terror begins". That's why we are preparing for the worst and to make matters worse, it's holding the Star Spirit captive again.

Yasher: Thank you for your wisdom, oh old one. We'll be going now.

The two walked to the Toad Town Square and started thinking about the behemoth and the Star Spirit. All they just needed to know was how to get to where the beast resided. Just then, a earthquake shook the town. Everybody started running either into shelter or to other villages. The earthquake started giving off more force until it suddenly stopped. Then, a massive king cobra rose from the ground and lunged at Yasher.
