Hello everyone! So time to make possibly the biggest style shift in the history of this series as we are going from Batman ...to Kirby. Speaking of him, I'm one of the people that has him speak. Not to mention, makes this easier to write. Anyways, let's get going!
"Where did it go?! Where did my food go?!" Kirby, hero of Dreamland, was frantically looking around for his food. He had a whole picnic set up for himself, but he had to go help his friend, Meta Knight, with a flame beast. Yet, when he returned, his food was nowhere to be found.
"I thought Dedede was done with that!" Kirby said as he tried to think about had done it. But he was drawing a blank. King Dedede claimed he didn't do that anymore(not that Kirby fully trusted him yet), Waddle Dee was never interested in that stuff, Adeleine would never do something like that, same goes for the animal buddies, Gooey...Kirby didn't even know where he was at the moment and Meta Knight would never be caught dead doing something like that. Kirby was about to go monster hunting until he heard what he thought were bite sounds. Slowly following the source, Kirby poked his head around a tree to find…
A little boy wearing a white shirt happily eating his food. After a few seconds, Kirby slowly walked forward. The boy noticed him.
"Um...hi!" The boy said.
"Hi!" Kirby replied back. "Um...I think you stole my food…"
The boy quickly started looking around, realizing he had just stolen the food. "I-I'm sorry!" He then started pushing the food back towards Kirby.
"Do you want to share?" Kirby offered. The boy smiled.
"Yeah!" The boy said with a laugh. Kirby sat down facing the boy, and they dug in. One thing that surprised Kirby was that the boy was able to eat almost as much as he could. Soon, there was no food. The little boy let out a burp.
"I have never met anyone who could eat like that!" Kirby said with a laugh. "Well, aside from King Dedede,"
"...Someone used to tell me that I got a stomach like a trash compactor...whatever that is!" The little boy said. Kirby realized something.
"Hey, what's your name?" Kirby asked.
"Owen!" The little boy said. "What's yours?"
"I'm Kirby, hero of Dreamland," Kirby replied.
"So you fight bad guys and monsters?" Owen asked.
"Yep!" Kirby said. He chuckled a little, thinking about all the kids in the villages that asked him that when word got out that he had saved Dreamland's food supply and defeated Dark Matter.
"So...can I go with you? I want a hero to protect me," Owen asked. Kirby suddenly realized this boy had no family to speak off.
"Of course you can stay with me!" Kirby replied. Owen hugged him.
"Okay daddy!" Owen said. Kirby blinked a few times. Being called daddy was not expected, but he liked it. Kirby hugged back as he led Owen back to his home.
And this will be the second in several video game stories on the horizon. Also for those of you that can't tell, The Dreamland Trilogy and Superstar(Ultra) have passed. The next game will be Kirby 64. Of course...we are going to be meeting some friends first...and maybe a former enemy.
