Ugh... Now that was a mega headache, and OW! Why in face of all places you fat fuck?! Well, it doesn't matter. After falling for a bit, I managed to land on a gap at the side of the this cliff. It was a good thing that Kirby was light as a feather. Meaning him and thankfully I wouldn't get any fall damage. Still, my face was a bit sore.

"Welp... so much for first contact." I grumbled to myself. "Now, how do I get out of here?"

I look up from where I have fallen and it was a good way up. I did not feel like hiking all the way back up.

"I know! I'll just float back up!"

One of the many useful things I know that Kirby can do was float in the air like a balloon.

"Okay, how does this work?"

I tried to mimic the way Kirby did to make himself float. I took a deep breath and puffed out my pink cheeks. Sure enough, it worked! I was starting to float off the side of the cliff.

'Alright! Let's get the heck out of here!'

I waved my little arms and started drifting upward towards freedom.

"AAHHH!"

Before I could get any further, I suddenly heard screaming. I look up and my eyes widened as I saw the girl from earlier falling down the cliff. Thinking fast, I drifted just underneath her. Soon enough, she fell right on top of me. However, due to sudden weight, we both started hurdling down the cliff together. At the bottom, I see a lone sharp spike point up under us. In a slight panic, I puffed out my cheeks more. Thankfully, we were able to stop just in time before we could be impaled.

'OHH... SHIIIITTTT...' I thought as the spike was literally one inch away from my face.

Shaking out of my shock, I toss aside the girl onto the ground away from the spike. She sits up and faces me.

"Wow, you just saved my life." She amazed.

I too floated away from the deadly spike before releasing the air I was holding. I guess Kirby can only float for so long in real life. In the game, he could of done it continuously.

"Hey, it was nothing. I was just at the right place at the right time." I replied.

Just then, the boy, who I'm guess is the girl's brother, landed next to us. How did he get down here?

"See, Tiff? A monster wouldn't done that."

Once again, we gain more company as Lololo and Lalala appeared and floated besides the boy.

"Your right, Tuff." Lololo said.

"Maybe Kirby is a Star Warrior." Lalala added.

The girl, who I now know is named Tiff, get up and starts brushing herself.

"Impossible, Falala" She said clearly unconvinced. "Warriors are suppose to be big and strong. Not pink and puffy."

What the hell?!

"Hey! I just saved your life. Isn't that heroic enough?" I said a bit offended. "Plus, it's not the size of a warrior. It's what inside that counts."

I look ahead to see a trail that leads outside the cavern we were in. I huffed as I start walking away from the surprised group.

"Hey, Kirby!" Tuff, who's name I learned from Lololo, called out to me. "Where are you going?"

"I don't know about you all, but I had enough of this cavern. I going to get out of here. Your welcome to join."

With that said, I continue my way up the trail. Soon enough, I made it to the top where it was nice and bright. I took a couple of steps forward and came across an overview of a town down the hill I'm at.

'So this is Dreamland.' I thought with a bit of content. 'Wonder what this place have in stock for me? We'll just have to wait and see.'

Just then, the group from before finally caught up to me.

"There you are, Kirby." Lalala said to me. "This place is Cappy Town."

"And the people that live here are called Cappies." Tuff added.

'I figured as much little dude.'

"Well, this is a nice place you guys have here." I say politely. "I look forward to spending some time here."

"We don't live here. Our parents work for the king, and we live in a castle." Tiff says brushing away her hair. "In case you haven't noticed, my name is Tiff."

'Well, good for you, princess. Want a cookie?'

"My name is Tuff." Tuff cuts in.

"And we're their friends." The blue monster also spoke. "I'm Fololo-"

"And I'm Falala." The pink monster added.

'So they're named Fololo and Falala. Not Lololo and Lalala. I can work with that.'

"Well, it is nice to meet you four. Say, you guys wouldn't happen to know where-"

"HEY!"

I was interrupted by a familiar voice. We all turn to see both King Dedede and Escargoon heading straight for us in what looks like a combination of tank and a jeep.

"Out of my way! I'll get that monster!"

The others gasped as they dove out of the way. Unfortunately, I couldn't react in time and I got hit by the off-road vehicle. I tumbled down the hill and onto a dirt trail at the bottom. The aggressive duos drove down the hill too and turned towards me before firing at me with the cannon. I was launched into the air as more shots were fired at me.

'Shit, shit, shit!'

I quickly pick myself up and ran for dear life down the road. Thinking smart, I started dove left and right in serpentine maneuver. It worked, only for a few moments as one shot managed to get me and sent my flying again. This time though, I landed into a watermelon patch. Shaking away my dizziness, I quickly hid among the large fruits.

"Nock it off!" I heard Tuff yelled.

"He's not a monster!" Tiff also joined.

"There he is!" King Dedede said ignoring the two. "He ran into that watermelon patch!"

I narrowed my eyes. If that overgrown penguin wants to play rough, so will I!

'If I can transform like Kirby in the games, then I could stand a chance.'

The question was, what could I change into? I look around me and there wasn't much to use. All there was leaves, vines, and watermelon.

'Wait a minute, that's it!'

I quickly pick out a large leaf and jumped out of my hiding place.

"Hey, Dedede!" I shouted. "Looking for little ol' me?"

That got his and Escargoon's attention.

"There you are you little punk!" Escargoon said.

"You thought you can give us the slip?" Dedede laughed. "That's a mighty big mistake there. Now, you going to pay for trespassing on my kingdom!"

"We'll see about that you big lug." I say as I get into a fighting stances with my leaf pointing at the goons like a sword.

Both them saw what I was holding and burst out laughing. In the corner of my eyes, I can see were the others were. Tuff looked confused while Tiff covered her face in what seems like embarrassment. I can barely just hear her saying,"Some warrior...".

"You are dumber than a bag of potatoes!" Dedede said laughing.

"What are you going to do? Fan us to oblivion?" Escargoon mocked.

I narrow my eyes as I bring the leaf just above my mouth.

'I really hope this works, or else I'm really gonna look stupid.'

Without hesitation, I dropped the leaf into my mouth and swallowed. At first nothing seems to happen, but then suddenly, I felt something within me was changing. Before I knew it, I jumped high into the air spinning.

"What's he doing Tiff?" I hear Tuff say.

"I don't know." Tiff replied.

This seems to get the other idiots attention as they look on in confusion. Meanwhile, after a quick spin, another more elegant looking leaf appeared out of nowhere and floated down onto me. Once it touched my forehead, a flash of light shined blinding everyone present. Once the light died down, it reveal a new me. On top of my head was crown made of beautiful leaves. That's not all though. As a finishing touch, there was a big shiny emerald lined up in the center for all to see. Everybody looked on in surprise as I land back down onto the ground.

"What that is that?!" Dedede demanded.

I look up to my leaf crown. The jewel on it glimmered in the sunlight. With new confidents, I smiled as I strike a heroic pose.

"I am now Leaf Kirby. Now, let the leaf fly!"

I know it was a very terrible pun, but I didn't care. Guess King Dedede didn't either as he growls in anger for being challenged.

"I don't know what you're planning, but you're going to be blown to smithereens!" He yells as he took aim and fired his cannon.

As if on instinct, I raised my little pink arms upward and made a wall of leaves appear. The cannon ball collided with the leaf barrier and exploded, leaving me unharmed. I heard Tiff and Tuff gasp in the background.

"Woah! That was so cool!" Tuff said.

"How did he do that?" Tuff asks mostly herself.

King Dedede on the other hand didn't like what he saw.

"GAH! You cheating little rascal!" He turns to Escargoon. "What are you waiting for?! Ram him!"

"Don't have tell me twice." Escargoon replies as he drives the tank, I'm calling it a tank, straight towards me.

I smirked as I easily sidestepped out of the way. That didn't stop them as they make a U-turn before coming back for another attempt. I didn't let them though as I summoned two razor sharp leaves.

"Razor Leaf!" I shouted as I threw the leaves like at the tank.

The leaves punctured through both the tank's left side wheels, front and back. This made the goons scream in panic as they lose control and shifted left right off the road and into a ditch. They were shook, but Kind Dedede was the first to recover.

"Why you little nuisance! I'm going to-"

"You're going to what?!" I said with my arms crossed. "In case you haven't noticed, I already won this fight. So why don't to drive out and leave me and my new friends alone."

King Dedede growled in replied as he was about to reach his hammer hidden in his red coat.

"Your highness..." Escargoon managed to get the king's attention.

"What?!"

However, what they say next I couldn't hear because they started whispering. A minute later, they both look at me like they found my weakness.

"There's always other ways in skinning a Kirby." King Dedede said before laughing.

With that, they drove out of the ditch and back onto the road before speeding off. I could see them going farther away and occasionally straightening themselves out from shifting too far left. I didn't know what happened, but I guess I won.

"Good riddance." I muttered.

Suddenly, there was a small flash and my awesome leaf crown vanished. I'm guessing that since there was no longer any danger, it's usefulness was no longer needed. I have to say though, that was awesome! I never felt so powered and strong before. Those moves back there, I don't know how I did them. It just came to me like I've done it before. If that was the case, then I can't wait to try out some other powers.

"I wonder where they are off to."

I turn around to see the Cappies from earlier standing in the field nearby. When the heck did they showed up? I guess they did during the fight with King Dedede.

"Hey, you kids alright?" A Cappy in a police uniform asks.

"Yeah, were okay." Tiff answers as her and Tuff walk towards us. "That was amazing, Kirby. How did you do that?"

Everyone turned to me waiting for an answer.

"It's one of my special abilities, Tiff." I replied. "I have the power to copy an enemy's ability and use it against them."

I bend down and picked up a lone leaf.

"However, it's not just enemies, I can use objects as well. Like this leaf for example. It has special properties that I can use to influence with."

Not really my best answer, also not sure if it made sense, but everybody seems to accept it.

"That's so cool." Tuff commented.

"Thanks. Say, is there a place to eat around here? I'm kinda hungry from that fight."

"It would be a delight to have you for dinner with us Star Warrior." A mustached Cappy in a brown suit and top hat said. "Not to mention, anyone standing up to King Dedede is always welcomed in my book."

I smiled as I lend a hand, or stub.

"Why thank you, Mr..."

"I am Len Blustergas. The Mayor of Cappy Town." He says as he shook my arm.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Mayor."

It was night time as me and my friends were all at the Mayor's house. I've got to say, these Cappies are really nice. I've even got to know a couple of them when I was helping set up the table for dinner. Turns out, the Mayor is a married man. I've met his wife. Her name is Hanna. They also have three grandsons, whos names I don't know unfortunately, and a Shepard. No, I don't mean a dog, I mean someone who care for flocks of sheep. I forgot to mention the Mayor has a sheep farm nearby.

Anyway, we also have with us is the policeman from earlier. Apparently, this Cappy is named Chief Bookem. He is the Chief of Cappy Town's police department. Along side him is his wife, Buttercup. Man, she is a nice lady by the way. Kinda reminds me of my grandma in a way.

Right now, we were all sitting down in the dining room were a good selection of food were put out before us. The Mayor was currently giving a toast as he and the other adults had glasses of wine. Tiff and Tuff were given apple juice since they were kids. Unfortunately, since I was only seventeen, I too couldn't drink alcohol. Though, I at least got some sparkling apple cider to drink instead.

"-And as Mayor of Cappy Town, I know I speak for everyone when I say we are pleased and proud to welcome our honored guest, the mighty Star Warrior, Kirby."

Chief Bookem suddenly stands up.

"I can speak for myself, thank you."

"We all know that Chief Bookem."

I smiled at the little antic.

"Well, I like to say thank you everybody for this dinner. Really, it is quite generous of you all." I say politely.

"Oh, it was nothing, dear." Hanna said. "It's the least we could do to welcome you to our home."

"What are we all waiting for?" Tuff spoke. "Let's hurry up and eat."

"Tuff, don't be rude." Tiff scolded.

"Well, since everything is in order. I don't see why not." Mayor Len said. "Let's dig in shall we?"

With that, we all started getting into the feast. I've got to say, these Cappies can cook a good meal if given the time. This stuff is delicious!

"Mmm... this is really good, Hanna." I say as I take another bite of my steak. "You've got yourself a keeper, Mayor Len."

"Oh, aren't you just the little charmer." Hanna blushed a bit from the compliment.

"So, Kirby, where are you from anyway?" Tuff asks before drinking his juice.

"Oh, uh..." I hesitated. "I'm not really from anywhere in particular."

"What do you mean?" Tiff asks.

'Crap, why did I say that?! I can't talk about my origins. Maybe I could bend the topic a little bit.'

"Well, I'm actually a traveler."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I've been to a couple of places."

"Like what?" Tuff asks.

"Um, I've recently visited a planet called Earth."

"My, sounds interesting. What's it like?" Buttercup asks.

"Well, I didn't stay there for very long. I spent most of my time at a snow resort."

"What's snow?" Tuff asks.

"Snow is ice crystals that precipitate from the atmosphere."

"Uh... what does precipitate mean?"

"It means it suddenly happens." Tiff answers for me.

"Precisely." I say as I take another drink of my cider. "Well, enough about me. Tell me, what's it like here in Dreamland?"

If I was going stay here, I might as well get some information. After all, the usual enemies from the Kirby games are actually friendly citizens here. Who knows what else is different, aside from King Dedede and Escargoon that is.

"Well, Dreamland can have it's ups and downs." Mayor Len explains. "There are days where Cappy Town can be plain while others-"

"Can be real hectic." The Shepard interrupted.

"And it has something to do with your ruler?" I ask.

"Wow, you were only here for a day and you already catch on." Tuff says with his mouth full.

"Tuff! Say it don't spray it!" Tiff says disgusted.

I chuckled at the siblings antic. I was about to pick a cupcake for dessert when I saw something strange. Out the window, I see some sort of silhouette outside in the night sky. At first, I thought it was weirdly shaped cloud, but the figure suddenly sprouted freaking 8 arms or something. It then started to descend down from the sky.

"Hey, Kirby, what's wrong?"

I snap out of my starring and looked back at Tiff and Tuff.

"Oh, uh, yeah. I'm fine." I say as I put a napkin on my plate. "Hey, I'm going to go outside and get some air. I'll be back."

I hop down from my seat and scurried out the room, leaving the attendants confused as to where I was going.

Once I was outside, I made a dash to where the thing went to. After a short distances away, I came across what looks like a- HOLY SHIT THAT'S A BIG ONE!

"What the hell!?" I say in shock and a bit of terror.

Right in front of me was the biggest octopus I have ever seen. It's skin was total velvet red as its eyes were glowing green. However, the part I was terrified about was the fact that IT WAS EATING SHEEPS ALIVE! The poor little lambs were trapped underneath its large tentacles as one by one they were being shoved into the monster's 'O' shaped mouth and then coming back out as nothing but bones.

'I got to do something! But what?!'

I look around frantically and saw a rock on he ground. I pick it up and face the sea monster.

"Hey! Pick on someone your own size!" I yelled as I threw the rock.

The rock hit the side of the octopus as it stops its feasting and looked at me.

'Maybe I should kept that rock and turn into Stone Kirby.'

Thankfully though, it didn't think I was worth it as it releases the remaining sheeps and took flight. I could see it go off into the distance towards a huge castle on a mountain.

"Dedede." I say angrily. "I should of known he would try something."

I look back at the pile of bones of the fallen flock.

"Poor little guys." I said with sympathy. "You deserve better than this."

I have a feeling that Kirby's compassionate nature is rubbing on me.

Gasp~

I turn around to see both Tiff and Tuff, along with Fololo and Falolol looking at the scene shocked.

"Kirby... did you do this?" Tiff asks softly.

"What? No! I didn't-"

"Maybe he really is the monster." Falala accused.

"Now wait just a second-"

"We can't stay out here. Come on!"

Before I could reject, Tiff grabs my arm and lifts me up before we all ran into a nearby shed. Tiff lets go of me and shuts the door.

"You are the one who ate all the sheep, aren't you?!" Tuff accuses me.

"Guys, I-"

"If you tell us the truth, maybe we can help you, Kirby." Tiff added.

"But I didn't-"

"And if don't, your history!"

"OKAY, EVERYONE, SHUT UP!" I yelled in anger.

Both the kids and boss-monsters all flinched from my sudden volume. I know I shouldn't yell at children, but I wasn't going to just stand there and let them falsely accuse me of a crime I didn't commit.

"Now, what I'm was trying to say is that I wasn't the one who ate those poor lambs. I would never do something that cruel."

"If you didn't, then what did?" Tiff questions.

"Back at dinner, I saw something floating in the air through the Mayor's window, and I decided to go investigate. When I got here, I saw a gigantic octopus monster eating all the sheep.

"Likely story!" Tuff says unconvinced.

"Oh yeah? I how could I have eaten those lambs if I don't have any teeth!"

To prove my point, I open my mouth wide open for all to see. They gasped as they see that I really don't have teeth. Enough was enough as I close my mouth before I catch any flies. Gross.

"See what I mean?"

"You do have a point." Tiff said starting to believe me. "Also, did you say octopus?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, we actually had another 'monster' attack a few days ago. The Mayor's Shepard said the same thing."

"Then it's obviously true. Come on, Tiff. I can tell you're a smart girl. It's not that hard to piece this together."

"Hmm... I suppose your right."

"Hey, let's check out this shack."

"(Random Gibberish)"

We were interrupted by two new people who sounded British. Well, one of them I can understand while the other I barely did. Anyway, Tiff quickly grabs a lone sack and drapes it over me.

"Hey, what-"

"Shh!"

I decided to remain silent and trust the blonde girl. Soon enough, I heard the door to this shack get knocked down.

"It's Tiff."

"Oy, it's also Tuff."

Yep, they sound British.

"Oh, hey, Sword. Hey, Blade."

'Sword and Blade? They sound familiar. Where have I heard of them before?'

"What are you two doing here?" Tiff asks.

"It were orders from the king." One of them said. I couldn't tell since I was in a sack.

"We're looking for a bloke name Kirby."

I guess King Dedede sent them.

"Hey, so are we." Tiff lied.

"But he sure is not here." Tuff added.

"I'm not so sure."

Just then, another voice sounded off. This one, it had a bit of a Spanish-accent in my opinion. Though, it also sounded mysterious and had authority. I then started hearing a third set of footstep clanking. Probably another guard or something. Maybe it was a Major or a Captain.

"Whoa!"

I heard Tiff yelped as I suddenly felt my hiding spot removed. The person who revealed me made me gasp in shock. In front of me were three armored fellas that I fully recognize. The one on the left of me was Sword Knight. He wore dark blue-greenish armor. On the right is Blade Knight. He wore pale-green armor. These guys are one of the first sword-wielding foes in the Kirby game series!

However, the one in the middle was the one that mattered. The one who triumphs these two badass wannabes. Directly in front of me is Kirby's top rival, Meta Knight! He had his golden sword pointed at me as we looked at each other's eyes. His eyes were glowing yellow as they were looking directly into mine, as if judging me. Though, I was surprised when they suddenly flashed green just for a mere moment. Meta Knight then spoke.

"It is... true..."

_Author's Notes_

Hello, you readers out there. Hope you enjoyed reading another chapter of mine. Now, I would like to let you guys know that Leaf Kirby is indeed real. He came from the game, 'Kirby's Return to Dreamland'. I am planning on using other abilities that the Kirby in the anime series didn't get to use.

Now that's settle, what will our soon-to-be hero of Dreamland do about the rampaging monster that is on the loose? What does King Dedede have in stock? Find out next time on 'Toby Right Back At Ya!'.
