Shadowash246- No, although it was considered.
Gamelover41592- Oh it has potential alright
Omni Spectator (Guest)- Kirby and Owen fit each other way too well. Also, you know what they say: "Kids Raise You"
Okay, so like I said, this is how I will be introducing everyone who is around right now. Also, certain things will be changed both because I want it too and because I need to make things fit with my canon for Star Allies. Also, the list of games I will be covering are(in order)
The Crystal Shards
The Amazing Mirror
Squeak Squad
Return to Dreamland
Triple Deluxe
Planet Robobot
And Star Allies
Spin-off game will be referenced, but since they don't add much(and I haven't played any of them other then Extra Epic Yarn), they will be skipped. Also, this will be the first story where that whole "creative liberties" thing I mentioned comes into play. Anyways, enough rambling! Let's get going!
Meta Knight wasn't sure how to react when Kirby said he wanted to show him something. While the two were on better terms nowadays, Meta Knight still wasn't sure about the pink marshmallow.
Those feelings did not go away when Kirby turned up on the Halberd with a little boy in tow.
"And who is this, Kirby?" Meta Knight asked as Owen looked around the Halberd and occasionally tried climbing on something.
"This is my new son, Owen!" Kirby declared as Own raced over.
"Hi!" Owen said.
"...Do you even know how to care for a child, Kirby?" Meta Knight asked once he could get his thoughts together.
"Of course! You look after them, but make sure to tell them if they do something wrong," Kirby replied with a wave of his stub arm.
"And how do you know that?" Meta Knight asked.
"I dunno! I kinda just guessed...that's not wrong, is it?" Kirby asked.
"No, that is what you are supposed to do...you are really quite something, Kirby," Meta Knight said. "I hope your son grows up well and that he can provide just as good a fight as you someday,"
"Thanks Meta!" Kirby said as he picked up Owen before walking off. As they walked off, Meta Knight chuckled.
"Things are certainly going to be very different around here," The masked knight mused to himself before returning to his training.
"Well, Kirbs, seems like the little bloke likes us!" Rick said as Owen snuggled up to him.
"You're fuzzy!" Owen declared. After meeting with Meta Knight, Kirby had taken Owen over the woods were his animal friends lived. Owen quickly took a shine to most of them, mainly Rick and Nago. Not that Kirby would argue. The duo was quite soft.
"Hmph! As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, he should be fine," Coo huffed.
"Oh lighten up, Coo!" ChuChu said. "Kirby said he won't do anything bad. You trust Kirby, right?"
"Of course! But we just met this kid!" Coo pointed out.
"Still, Kirby said he's good, so I'm going to trust Kirby," Kine said. As Owen continued to explore the forest, he was being watched by two people, both with completely different motives.
"He's like a pillow," Gooey said. When Kirby had taken Owen to see Adeleine, he was surprised to find Gooey with her.
"So this is your new son?" Adeleine asked.
"Yep," Kirby replied.
"Well, it was nice to meet him," Adeleine said.
"If he is a sun, why is he not glowing? Or hot?' Gooey asked.
"Gooey...that's, it's not...it's not that kind of sun!" Kirby said. Owen giggled.
"K-K-Kirby!" A Waddle Dee called out as he ran up to Kirby. Kirby knew who this one was, despite the fact they all look the same.
"Dee!" Kirby called out. The little Waddle Dee ran over. Despite most of the Waddle Dees serving King Dedede, Kirby had made friends with this one.
"I heard from Meta Knight that you have a son and Dedede sent me to take a look," Dee explained. Owen hugged him from behind.
"Hi! I'm Owen!" Owen said.
"Call me Dee!" Dee replied. "But...could you let me go? I can't breathe!"
"Oh sorry!" Owen said as he quickly let go. Dee took a few seconds to steady himself.
"He seems nice to me," Dee said once he regained his bearings. "The great king was worried that he would be evil,"
"But I'm a good guy!" Owen protested.
"Yes you are, Owen," Kirby reassured his son before turning back to Dee. "Tell King Dedede that I will keep an eye on him,"
"You got it Kirby!" Dee said before running off again.
"So what is this?" Owen asked. Before him was a fountain of some kind.
"This, Owen, is the Fountain of Dreams," Kirby explained. "It's where all the magic on Pop Star comes from. It's also why everyone has such good dreams. Ya know, rumor has it that if you sleep here, you'll have the best dream of your life,"
"Those are not mere rumors, Kirby. They are indeed true," A female spirit appeared in front of them. "Do not be alarmed, I am the dream goddess, Nova,"
"Wait, Nova?! I thought your a clockwork star...and a guy…" Kirby admitted.
"That star was merely what I used to speak to you in the mortal world. But since it was destroyed, this is something I can only do on rare occasions now," Nova explained.
"So why are you talking to us? I thought you could only grant one wish and Marx stole it!" Kirby replied.
"It is not a wish I want to grant you, it's more of a...gift for all you have done for Dreamland," Nova replied. "I will grant your son powers similar to yours," With that, she touched Owen's forehead, causing a warm glow to envelop him. It lasted a few seconds.
"So what can I do?" Owen asked. Nova gave a warm smile and summoned a Waddle Doo.
"Try touching this," Nova said simply. Owen did as told and gained a jester like hat and wand.
"You gave him my copy ability!" Kirby realized.
"Indeed I have," Nova said. "I also give him the power to summon his own mini wrap star so he can fly," Sure enough, Owen had now summoned a little star that he was hovering on.
"This is AWESOME!" Owen cheered.
"Of course, if you wouldn't mind, I would request you to do a favor for me," Nova said.
"Anything for you!" Kirby cheerfully replied.
"Watch over this troublemaker for me," Nova said as someone stepped out from behind her. But that someone was…
"MARX!?" Kirby cried as he put himself between the jester and Owen. "With all due respect, Nova, but you do remember what Marx tried to do, right?"
"Of course, and I only agreed to revive him should he behave himself," Nova assured. "Isn't that right, Marx?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Marx replied. "I gotta be a goody-two shoes and I get to stay alive and keep my powers. But uh, Kirbs? I...um...I'm not good at this...I'm sorry...about what I did,"
"It's okay," Kirby said. "Just don't do it again," Before Marx could answer, Owen pulled him into a bearhug.
"New friend!" Owen cheered.
"Hey! Who's this!? Let go of me!" Marx cried.
"Marx, meet my son, Owen," Kirby replied with a laugh. Behind him, Nova laughed as well. She knew who would be keeping Marx in check.
And there you have it! So yeah, Owen has powers like Kirby. I kinda needed him to have them since he needs to go into space and fight eldritch abominations. Also this is how I headcanon Nova looking like after Marx smashed into them(I also think of them as a girl) and how he got revived. Anyways, see you next time when we start the Crystal Shards!
