Well, a week has past since I've discovered how Dedede orders his monsters. Who would of thought someone like him would have all that fancy technology hidden in his throne room. Though, I think I'm more concern about the fact that I just seen Nightmare himself! Well, mostly in the background, but the mere sight of him is enough to have me on edge. I know I was sent to this world to fight him eventually, but a part of me is intimidated by his presence. Who wouldn't be? He has the ability to corrupt dreams with nightmares, and he can easily create dangerous monsters.

I mean, sure I've beaten that dream demon's creations before many times since my stay here in Dreamland, but I've only won because I had my friends back me up. There has to be a time when I will need to only rely on myself. It may sound stupid, but something like that could happen. So, I've decided to start training really hard for the past week. First, I would go jogging with Miku in my Metal Kirby form as extra weight. Then, I would spend the whole afternoons practicing shooting targets with any of my forms that uses projectiles like my Leaf, Fire, and Wing Kirby forms. Finally, I would finish off the evening with close-combat training with some dummies I crafted.

I may be pushing myself just a little bit too much, but I'm not taking any chances.

Toby's POV

It is in the late evenings as I lay in my bed resting after yet another whole day of hard training.

"Toby, I know you're just preparing yourself for Nightmare and his monsters, but you seriously need to take it easy." Miku scolds me. "You're going to hurt yourself if you keep this up."

I groan as I glance at my soulmate.

"I'm just trying to keep myself sharp, Miku. Besides, you train hard too."

"Yes, but at least I take a break and I know when to call it a day. Ever since that incident last week, you've done nothing but train all day without a break. Heck, Tiff and Tuff came to me when you stopped hanging out with them."

I sigh before sitting up. Miku is right. I shouldn't overexert myself so much. Plus, it wasn't cool of me to leave my friends hanging.

"Alright... I'll take it easy for now on."

Miku smiles. "I'm glad you finally agree. Hey, if you still want to train, then I could help coach you. After all, I could use an exercise buddy during my cop training."

Knock Knock

There was knock at the door. Miku goes over and opens it. It was Tokkori.

"Tokkori? What are you doing here?"

"What are talking about? I live literally right next store in that tree." He said sourly as usual.

"Oh, right." Miku said sheepishly.

"Anyway, I wanted to use your TV."

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that I finally fixed the TV and got rid of that stupid spy cam Dedede planted. Now we could watch some shows without that royal fatso intruding in our privacy.

"Sure. Go ahead, but at least pick out a decent show." I wave.

"Thanks."

Tokkori flies in and turns on the TV. Though, when he did, it was showing another stupid Comedy Segment featuring Dedede and puppet me.

Escargoon:

"Channel DDD!"

King Dedede:

"This is everybody's favorite Comedy Show. The Comedy Duos, Kirby and the King!"

Dedede brings up puppet me for all to show.

King Dedede:

"So tell me, Kirby, have you been having any pleasant dreams lately?"

Puppet Kirby/Me:

(Shakes Head) "Uh, uh."

King Dedede:

"So, Kirby, you telling me here that everybody's favorite pink pal haven't been snoozing all peaceful-like?"

Puppet Kirby/Me:

(Shakes Head) "Uh, uh."

King Dedede:

"Well, ain't that a crying-out-loud shame!"

The sound of an audience laughing in the background plays. Tokkori laughs while me and Miku just look on unamused. Just when I was about to tell the annoying yellow bird to change the channel, Dedede speaks again.

King Dedede:

"Kirby and me want to tell you that it is important to have sweet dreams. Therefore, we here at Channel DDD-"

Just then, Escargoon joins in as he comes into view. Though he brings up a green pillow in a polka-dot pillow case.

Escargoon:

"-Are offering at a limited time only this magical, healthy, and happy Delightful Dreams Pillow!"

King Dedede:

"When you nestle your wary noggin on this Delight Dreams Pillow, sweet dreams of sugarplums will be dancing in your head. Ain't that right, Kirby?"

Puppet Kirby/Me:

(Shakes Head) "Uh, huh!"

Escargoon:

"Sugar buns? That's great! But I bet it costs an arm and a leg!"

King Dedede:

"Well, normally they would, but we here at Channel DDD are offering this here Delightful Dreams Pillow for nothing!"

Escargoon:

"Wow! There has got to be a catch!"

King Dedede:

"No catch, but not only that, we'll through in an extra set of pillow cases!

Escargoon:

"How dreamy!"

King Dedede:

"So you can't get a better bargain!"

Me and Miku just look at each other strangely. First off, Dedede is actually giving away something for free? Second, who even needs that much pillow cases if you're just get one pillow?

Escargoon:

"So what are you waiting for? Act now and pick up your complimentary magical Delightful Dreams Pillow here at Castle Dedede! You'll be glad you-"

King Dedede:

"You'll be glad you did it, and everyone here on Channel DDD wishes you a happy dream."

Dedede finishes off by laughing in a very suspicious-like manner before cutting into commercial.

"I don't know about you, Kirby." Miku said my fake name since Tokkori was still here. "but something tells me that this is another one of Dedede's schemes again."

"A scam maybe, but a scheme, I'm not so sure." I shrug. "I mean, what is a bunch of pillows are going to do?"

"Did't you tell me before that Dedede used television to hypnotize Cappy Town into going against you before I came to Dreamland?"

I sigh. "Alright, I guess those pillows do sound strange, but what can we do? We won't be able to do anything about it until whatever plan Dedede has actually happens."

"Ugh... I guess you're right."

"What are two yammering about? We need to get one of them Delightful Dreams Pillows!"

We turn to Tokkori.

"Yeah, I'm not interested in taking whatever Dedede gives." I said

"Yet, you got one of his TV sets." Tokkori points out.

"That's because you wouldn't stop bothering me about it! If you want a pillow, go get it then. I'm not interested."

"Hmph! Fine. I guess I'll get the good dreams then. Your loss."

With that, Tokkori flies out the window and leaves for Castle Dedede for the advertised pillow.

"All this pillow talk is making me tired." I yawned. "I'm calling it a night."

"Alright, see you in the morning then, Toby." Miku said before turning off the lights and going down to her room.

Now, it was just me and my dreams for me to enjoy for the night.

I groan as I open my eyes. Everything around was all dark except for the white floor that shined brightly.

"Huh, I'm back in the Mystery Room. I wonder if Galaxia wants to hang out."

"I wish that was the case, Toby."

Well, speak of the Goddess. I turn around and see Galaxia herself laying on a cloud in a rather... distracting fashion. I blush at the sight.

"I'm starting to get the feeling you like teasing me." I said.

"There is nothing wrong with a little excitement now and then." She smirked. "However, as entertaining as this is, there is a reason why I summoned you."

Galaxia sits up and summons another cloud. I get over my blushing mess and take a seat.

"Okay, so what do you need?" I ask as I get comfortable.

"I summon you here to warn you of another monster coming to Dreamland."

"Oh, well, thanks for the warning. I'll take care of it when it comes."

"I'm afraid it's not going to be that easy, Toby." Galaxia frowns.

"What do you mean?"

Galaxia snaps her fingers and summons a pillow. Though, this particular pillow was the same as the ones Dedede presented on TV.

"I believe you have already heard of Dedede's 'Delightful Dreams Pillows'?"

"I have." I nodded. "So, those pillows were bad news."

"Indeed. For this pillow isn't any normal pillow."

Galaxia grabs both ends of the pillow and pulls it part effortlessly. To my surprise, a familiar little creature pops out of the sleeping accessory. It is small, orange, and is wearing a little sleeping hat.

"Noddy?"

Noddy is a very annoying little monster. As cute as it looks, it does give off negative effects. When Kirby inhales this little creature, he will be put into a deep sleep. I found that out the hard way when I played the Kirby games the first time.

"What is Dedede doing with pillows full of Noddies?" I ask as I grab the little monster. It is really small as it fits in my hand like a ball.

"I have discovered that NME made a deal with Dedede in selling the pillows. He is planning on giving the Cappies bad dreams about you."

"About me?" I blinked. "Well, I'll just reveal how much of a scam this whole pillow business really is then."

"Actually, that is the least of your problem."

Galaxia waves her hand and another creature appears. It was ghost-like as it had a jack-o-lantern for a head and is wearing a torn up black cloak. It also has floating sharp skeleton claws for hands.

"What is that?" I ask.

"This creature is known as Dream Seeker." Galaxia answered. "Its kind wanders around the universe searching for dreams to consume."

"Wait, if that's the case, then how come Nightmare didn't use them to already rule the galaxy?"

"Well, these hazardous creatures are actually quite illusive as they are really rare. Besides, they are rather picky eaters when it comes to dreams. They seek to find bad dreams to consume."

"So Dedede is just going to let his own subjects die just to get me?!" I exclaimed in shock.

"Dedede is not aware of the Dream Seekers. He is merely a pawn in NME's plan in getting rid of you."

I stare at the Dream Seeker in a new found hate. I am not going to let that thing near my friends.

"How long do I have until it arrives?" I ask as I put down the Noddy I was holding. It hops onto Galaxia's lap.

"Not long I'm afraid." Galaxia sighs. "Once the Cappies go to sleep in the next following night, the Dream Seeker will strike.

Galaxia waves her hand and made both Noddy and Dream Seeker disappear.

"I advise that you use the next day wisely as you will have a better chance in defeating this upcoming foe."

I look down in thought. This next monster encounter is very serious. If I screw this up, then my friends will be having a permanent nap. I couldn't help but shutter at the thought. Galaxia sees this and comes over to me. Before I could react, she gently grabs me and kisses me! My eyes widen in surprise as I blush deeply. A few seconds later, Galaxia lets go and giggles at my react.

"Don't worry, Toby. I have full faith that you will stop Nightmare's plot and save your friends."

My shock expression disappears as I smile.

"Thanks, Galaxia." I said before yawning.

"Our time together is up. Good luck, Toby."

I slowly began to lose consciousness as my vision turns dark.

My eyes flutter open as I wake up from my sleep. I rub my face before jumping out of bed.

"I need to warn Meta Knight this." I say to myself.

Click~

The sound of an opening door got my attention. It was Miku as she is carrying a grocery bag with her.

"Oh, I see you finally woke up, sleepy head." She giggles. "For a second, I thought you were going to waste the day sleeping in."

"How long was I out?" I ask making my bed. "Also, where did you went off to?"

Miku starts pulling out some of the bag's contents. It was frozen hamburger patties and buns.

"Well, while you were off in your own little dreamland, no pun intended, I went off and visited Tuggle's to pick up some lunch. I thought you and me could invite our friends over and have some burgers."

My eyes widen. Lunch?! That means I've wasted the entire morning!

"Miku, we have bigger problems to worry about." I say firmly.

Miku catches my serious tone.

"What's wrong, Toby?"

"Last night, I talked with Galaxia."

My soulmate was surprised to hear this.

"Really? What did you two talk about?"

I went on and explained the whole situation. When I finish, Miku was shocked.

"We have to do something!" She declares. "We have to warn the Cappies!"

"Wait, Miku." I stopped her. "We need to be careful about this."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Galaxia told me that NME will be sending Dream Seeker over to consume everybody's bad dreams. If we reveal everyone about this, not only will this cause a mass panic to the people, but also scare away the monster. Last thing I want is for it come back when we least expect it."

"So what do you suggest we do?"

I rub my chin as I think carefully. This is critical after all.

"I say we set up a trap." I said.

"A trap?" Miku repeats.

"Yeah. We'll warn Meta Knight and Chief Bookem about this. We could stage some sort of ambush and catch the creep by surprise."

"Toby, are you hearing yourself right now? We're basically risking the lives of innocent Cappies."

"Well, this is what I could think off." I sigh.

Miku paces around the the house before facing me again.

"Alright. We'll do this, but keeping the Cappies safe is our top priority." Miku said sternly.

"Don't worry. I'll be sure that we take extra precautions."

"Good."

With that done, we both packed up our emergency power-ups and headed out in our Wing forms. I headed over to Castle Dedede and Miku went towards Cappy Town. We seriously have a lot of work to do.

It is late at night as me and Meta Knight continue on our patrol through Cappy Town. After we informed our friends of this dreadful news, we immediately went to work in setting up posts and patrol routes for the upcoming Dream Seeker. I was surprised to learn that Meta Knight knew what a Dream Seeker was as he already dealt with one before during the Monster War. He told me that they were in fact tricky monsters to kill as they can learn pretty quickly in a fight. Since that was the case, I packed with me a few power-ups that I think are good for dealing with ghosts.

Right now, me and the dark knight is walking in the streets as the others were doing their jobs. Sword and Blade Knight are doing their own patrol in another parts of Cappy Town. Chief Bookem and Miku are working together in keeping an eye out in makeshift towers we built for them. As for Tiff, well... I honestly have no idea where she is. I did told her of the situation at hand, but I refused to let the blonde to be apart of this. Even though I told her to stay away, I can tell she didn't listen and she is probably off somewhere taking things into her own hands. Tiff is a smart girl, so I trust that she won't do anything that will get her into danger.

Anyway, it is nearly midnight as every Cappy was fast asleep in their homes. So far, nothing has happened as it was calm and peaceful.

"Man, when is this stupid monster going to come out?" I yawned.

"We need to be patient, my friend." Meta Knight replied. "If you rush into this, there will be consequences."

"I know." I sigh. "It's just I'm getting a little more tired early than I should. I'm normally a Night Owl and stay up late, but ever since my stay here in Dreamland, my usual lifestyle as changed quite a bit."

Meta Knight nods. "I see. Kirby, I've been wondering something."

"Alright, shoot."

"How did you know about monster, Dream Seeker was coming in the first place."

I nearly froze as I grew nervous.

"Well... to be honest, I kinda saw it on my dreams last night, and I felt that it was important to inform you of this."

"So, you had a dream about this specific monster? Hmm... interesting."

For a moment, I saw Meta Knight's yellow eyes glowed a green light like before. I couldn't tell if he believed me or not, but he didn't question me further about the topic.

'How does he do that?' I thought. 'That actually more mysterious and a bit of a badass. I wish I could do that.'

Before I could ask Meta how he changes his eye color, he stops and puts our his arm, halting me as well.

"It is here." He said.

"What? Where?"

He points up into the sky. I look up to see a shadowy figure coming down from above. Though, there was a flickering light in it's grasp. A lantern to be specific.

"It's Dream Seeker." I whispered.

"Yes. We need to warn the others now."

I nod before we both split up to go tell the other of this. When I reached Chief Bookem and Miku's post, I see them having an argument.

"We have to do something, Bookem!" Miku nearly shouts.

"What do you expect me to do?! I don't know anything about fighting monsters!" Bookem replies. "Besides, I'm a cop, not a super-naturalist!"

"What's going on here?" I ask as I get between the two.

"We spotted Dream Seeker coming, but we don't know what to do." Miku informs. "Bookem here doesn't know what to do."

"Give him a break, Miku. He is right. He doesn't know how to fight monsters as it's usually me that gets rid of them."

"Thank you." Bookem sighs.

"If that's the case, then why did we bother telling him about this?" Miku questions.

"Hey! I may not be a big time Star Warrior like your brother, Miku, but as this town's law enforcer, I cannot allow any criminals coming around and harming any Cappy on my watch."

"Besides, he could still be useful." I add. "He could keep crowd control if the fight wakes up the town."

Whoosh!

KABOOM!

Before we could continue on with the conversation, we were suddenly blown away as a ball of fire was came bursting upon us. The blast was pretty loud as it blown up the watch tower be built. Small bits a flame were flickering from the burnt legs. I groan as I look at where the blast came from. My eyes widen as I see that it was none other than Dream Seeker itself. It looks just the like the one Galaxia shown me in the Mystery Room.

Hiss Hiss

The ghost hissed at me as its skeleton hands float menacingly at its side. I narrow my eyes before getting up. I can see Bookem and Miku also recovering from the blast.

"So, you finally arrive." I said.

Hiss Hiss

"Not much of talker. Well, no matter." I cross my arms. "If you know what's good for you, you better turn your worn out old ghostly cloak around and get out of my town."

For a second, it doesn't do anything as it just floats in midair. When I was about to give it another warning, it did something very unexpected. The ghost monster brings both of its skeleton hand together and rubs them. Before any of us can comprehend why it is doing this, Dream Seeker suddenly made two mini white versions of itself.

Hiss Hiss

Dream Seeker seems to have given the smaller ones orders as it turns around and floats away.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" Miku shouts as she runs after the ghost.

However, before my soulmate could chase after Dream Seeker, the Mini Seekers charges forward and slam into Miku. My blue double lands in front of me.

"Miku, are you okay?!" I ask concerned.

Miku groans. "Yeah, I'm fine, but Dream Seeker is getting away!"

"We'll worry about him later, right now, let's focus on these wimps!"

"Kirby, you go after Dream Seeker! Me and Miku will deal with this criminals!"

We both turn to see Bookem a few feet away. One of Mini Seekers saw the old Cappy and charges with its bone claw raised to strike.

"Chief, watch out!" Miku warns.

Before any of us could jump in to save the chief, he did something amazing. Just as the Mini Seeker gets close, Bookem pulls out a baton and blocks the attack. The monster was surprised by this and tries to hit again with its other claw. Though, the chief blocks that as well with free hand. Bookem then leans back and headbutts the ghost right in its mini pumpkin face. The Mini Seeker hisses and whimpers as it rubs its face.

"You're going to have to try little hard than that, criminal scum!" Bookem shouts triumphantly.

Me and Miku continue to look on in astonishment.

"Chief, I thought you said you can't fight monsters." Miku said.

"I did, but I still have my police training, and it seems it can work against them just as fine." Bookem points out. "Now, go on, Kirby. Me and Miku will take care of this."

I recover from my shock before nodding. I tell the two to be careful before going off in the direction of Dream Seeker. This is sure going to be an interesting night.

I ran for a while in the streets. I looked around and I couldn't find Dream Seeker anywhere. Though, I was a little confused as to why there weren't any Cappies coming out. I thought that maybe that explosion from earlier would of a least woke up half the town. I guess not.

"Ugh, where is that cloaked bastard?" I muttered.

Whoosh!

Looks like I got my answer as I was hit in the face by a claw. I stumble back as I try to gain my footing.

BAM!

I dodge out of the way in time as a bone claw fist comes smashing down where I once stood. I look ahead to see Dream Seeker.

"There you are you Haunter reject!" I called. "Enough playing games! Let's fight already!"

Hiss Hiss

Dream Seeker brings his claws back together and repeated the same process from before and summoned five more Mini Seekers.

"You got to be kidding me." I grumbled.

Hiss Hiss Hiss

As by command, all of the Mini Seekers charges straight towards me. I quickly pick out a leaf my satchel and consumed it before turning into Leaf Kirby.

"Razer Leaf!"

I send a wave of sharp leaves at the upcoming foes. Though, it didn't do much as it only stunned them. The ones that recovered quickly didn't wast time and started attacking again. This time, they start showering me with fire balls of various colors. I try to counter with a leaf shield, but I wasn't fast enough as I get pelted by the bits of flames.

"AAGH!" I shout in pain.

However, it doesn't stop there. I suddenly start to get tired as my body begins to ache. I felt I was getting weaker and... sleepy?

'I guess if they can't find a victim to reap, they force one to sleep.' I thought.

If things couldn't get any worse, my Leaf form disappears on me just the Mini Seekers surrounds like a pack of wolves. In fact, they started chattering to themselves as they wait for me to fall asleep.

"If I make it out of this, I'll will use your heads to make pumpkin pie." I snarled.

That did nothing but made them chuckle ghastly.

Poof

Flicker~

All of a sudden, a bunch of burning flowers came out of nowhere and land right next to me and the surrounding ghosts. My moment of confusion was swept away as I look on in shock as the ghosts suddenly began hissing in what seems like both fear and pain. They all immediately backed as far away as possible away from the flaming plants. If it wasn't strange enough, I suddenly feel my strength returning. As if the effects of little spirits' earlier attacks never happened. Though, I still have some burn marks.

"What the hell was that?" I ask myself.

"Kirby!"

I heard someone familiar call out for me. I turn around to see Tiff, along with two Cappies. One of them I recognize as Mabel the fortune-teller. The other, well... I didn't know who they are. They were half Mabel's size as they wore a dark cloak. I notice that all three of them is carrying small sacks.

"Tiff, what did you guys do?" I questioned.

"We came to your rescue, that's what we did." Tiff answered. "You didn't think I would just sit back and let you get yourself killed, did you?"

I sigh. While I don't want to admit it, I am glad Tiff intervened at the last minute. I honest was getting in over my head back there.

"I'm glad you came, Tiff." I face the two Cappies. "Though, what are you doing here, Mable?"

"You friend, Tiff came to me for aid in ridding the phantoms away." Mabel said as she picks out a flower from her sack. "These flowers are called Rue Flowers. They are useful in driving away spirits and dispelling any hostile magic."

The flower itself has five yellow petals as the plants resembles a shape of a star.

'This world really like stars. I keep seeing them everywhere.'

I turn to the other Cappy.

"Who are you by the way? I don't think we've met before."

The Cappy lifts the hood away and reveals themselves. Though, from the wavy black ponytail, I can tell this Cappy is female. It is kind of hard to tell Cappies' gender.

"My name is Katherine, but my friends call me Kat." She said in the same accent as Mabel if younger. "I've recently moved to Cappy Town from my hometown far off in Dreamland."

"She is also my niece." Mabel adds with a smile.

"Well, it is nice to meet you, Kat." I nodded. "Maybe we could get to know each other sometime."

HISS HISS

While we were busy talking, it seems the Mini Seekers finally grown brave enough to regroup and form a formation. They do not look happy at all.

"We'll talk more later. Right now, let's deal with these pests." I said.

The three nodded as they bring out more of the Rue Flowers and a match to light them. Though, Dream Seeker sees this and summoned more Mini Seekers. Now there were ten more of the monsters.

"Oh, great." Tiff said sarcastically.

The pack of Mini Seekers charge forward full force. Though, my new allies acted quickly and launch more burning Rues into the fray. That made the charging group break formation as they scatter around. I took the opportunity of the distraction and began inhaling. All the ghost that were unfortunate enough to be in range were sucked up into my guts while the surviving few fled.

They didn't get far however as I mash all of Mini Seekers together and spit out a large star at the remaining ghosts. The star exploded and sent the monsters flying. They all disappear in puffs of smoke. Now, it was just Dream Seeker left.

"Alright, let's end this now!" I shouted at the specter.

"Must destroy Kirby! Must destroy Kirby?"

Before I could advance, I was interrupted by some chanting. I look around to see a big crowd of Cappies were coming around. They all had green glowing eyes as they held the pillows Dedede given them. Speaking of Dedede, the fatso himself, along with Escargoon were also among the crowd as they too had pillows.

"Must destroy Kirby! Must destroy Kirby!"

Again they chant for my demise. It seems they are all in some sort of trance.

"Did Dedede seriously try hypnotizing again?" I ask in irritation. "Jeeze, you think you would try to make up another plan than last time."

"Kirby, look!" Tiff shouts.

I turn around and face Dream Seeker again. It seems to me smiling for some reason as it raises its claws.

"What's it doing?" Kat questions.

The young Cappy got her answer as streaks of shadowy lines connect with the crowd. To my horror, Dream Seeker starts to grow bigger and the crowd that it absorbing are faltering as they start to look pale.

"It's feeding off the crowd!" Tiff said alarmingly.

"Not on my watch!" I shout as I charge forward.

I didn't get far as multiple Mini Seekers appear and pin me down to the ground. I struggle to get free and failing at it.

"Kirby!"

Mabel and Kat try to get rid of the claws with more of burning flowers, but it isn't taking effect.

"It's too strong!" Kat said. "The flowers aren't doing anything!"

Just as things couldn't get any worse, all three of the girls where suddenly lifted up by the Mini Seekers and brought over to their leader. The monster smirks as its pumpkin eyes glow. Soon enough, my allies' eyes turn green like the crowd.

"Must destroy Kirby." Tiff chants.

"NO! TIFF! MABEL! KAT!" I screamed as I try harder to break free. "LEAVE THEM ALONE! IT'S ME YOU'RE AFTER! TAKE ME INSTEAD!"

Dream Seeker pays me not attention as it starts the process of absorbing the life out of my friends. At this point, I was begging for the evil creature to stop and spare my friends. I look around me and couldn't help me shed a tear. I have failed to save my friends. I have failed to save these innocent people. I have failed as a Star Warrior.

'I'm sorry, Galaxia. I failed you.'

Whoosh!

Slash! Slash!

Bang!

I was interrupted from my thoughts by the sound of swords clashing and also... gunshots?! I notice that the Mini Seekers that were holding me down were turn to dust as I am now free. I get up and turn to see the rest of the gang. Sword, Blade, and Meta Knight had their swords drawn as they attack Dream Seeker. Miku is in her Sword form and is tending to Tiff, Mabel, and Kat. Chief Bookem came to my side as he had a revolver out.

"Don't worry, Kirby." He as he blows out his gun. "Backup has arrived for assistance!"

I sigh in utter relief. "Oh, thank Galaxia you all came. I'm going to need all the help I could get."

"Whatever you need, we'll help you."

I turn around to survey the situation. Sword and Blade Knight currently fighting off the group of remaining Mini Seekers while Meta Knight is keeping Dream Seeker occupied. Miku has managed to get the others a safe distance away from the monsters. The crowd of hypnotized Cappies are idling around.

"Alright, I think I have an idea." I said. "Bookem, you think you can corral the Cappies to a safe distance?"

Bookem adjusts his hat.

"Crowd Control is my specialty!" He said as he runs off to do his job.

I nod as I run to the knights.

"Guys, can you keep Dream Seeker busy for a bit?!"

Sword and Blade just finish off the last Mini Seeker before responding.

"We'll try our best, Kirby!" Sword said.

"Oy, do what we can, mate!" Blade adds.

Meta Knight dodges one of Dream Seeker's claw swipes.

"Something tells me you have a plan." He said as Sword and Blade take his place.

"Yes. You, me, and Miku are going to end this once and for all."

Meta nods as he follows me to where Miku was guarding our friends. I start filling them in with my plan.

"Alright, this is what I think. Dream Seekers seem to hunt only at night and avoid daylight. It must be their weakness."

"Even so, we can't wait for morning to come. I don't think Sword and Blade can keep that monster busy forever."

I smirk as I reach into my satchel and pull out a mirror.

"Just leave it to me. Once I get sunlight on that ghost and weaken it, you two will deliver the final blow."

"Let's hope this works, Kirby." Meta Knight said.

I nod as I look to the sky.

"Kabu! Send the Warp Star!"

A few moments later, I can see the whirling star coming towards us. I run up and jump aboard when it came close. I soar high into the sky. I look at the horizon to see that morning was coming real soon. I pick out the mirror and swallow it. I flash a bright light before changing to my new form. I'm now wearing a red and green jester hat with white star prints. In my pink hand is a shiny golden scepter with a blue crystal ball on top.

"I am now Mirror Kirby!"

After my little excitement was over, I focus my power and made five duplicates of myself. They all were the exact copy of me as they too had their one Warp Stars.

"Alright, guys. Let's get into position." I said to them.

"Sir, yes, Sir!" They respond.

My copies all swarm out as they take up positions far from each other. We all wave our scepters and summon large mirrors in front of us. We line them all up as we wait form morning to come.

"Come on... just a little closer..."

Soon enough, the sun finally shines over the horizon. The light rays shines onto one of my copies' mirrors and travel down to me. I line up my mirror and aim it right at Dream Seeker.

"Good morning to you, fucker." I mutter as the beam goes down towards the monster.

Third Person View

Just like Toby planned, the sun beam came shining down onto Dream Seeker. The ghost monster screeches in pain as its black cloak starts burning up. Miku and Meta Knight look at each other and nodded. They bring out their swords and charge straight at the monster. They jump up and deliver a finishing blow with Sword Beam. Their beams shot towards Dream Seeker and cut right through its body. The ghost screeches even louder by the amount of pain it was in. Its body couldn't take anymore punishment as it fades into dust.

The nightmare of the night is finally over as our heroes regroup.

"We did it!" Miku cheers. "We showed that specter what for!"

Meta Knight nods. "It seems Kirby's plan has worked."

"Oy, look over there." Sword points.

The group turns to see that the Cappies have awaken from their trance as they all look around in confusion. Wondering why they were outside.

"What happened?" Mayor Len questions.

"How did we get outside?" Chef Kawasaki adds.

Miku goes over to a random Cappy and takes their pillow. Before they could protest, Miku uses her sword and slices open the pillow, revealing Noddy the sleep monster. The crowd gasp.

"Well, we have a story just for you all."

It is around the afternoons as Toby and the rest of his friends where having a lunch together Miku planned before the whole incident started. Tuff and his friends are playing a game of soccer as they wait for the burgers Miku is grilling. Toby, Tiff, and their new friend, Katherine were just laying one the cool grass having a chat.

"So you've been fighting monsters here in Dreamland?" Kat asks curiously.

"Yeah. It's pretty much what I do when King Dedede is in the mood to get rid of me." Toby reply. "So far, he hasn't beaten me yet. He came close a few times, but I am able to pull through with the help of my friends."

"What does Dedede have against you that he want to send monsters to destroy you?"

"He just doesn't like Kirby trespassing in Dreamland." Tiff said. "He can be a real blockhead."

"Well, from what I've seen this morning, I can tell that he isn't very well liked."

It was true. After Miku had explained the whole incident to the Cappies, they were outraged as they blame Dedede for the whole thing. Toby knew that it wasn't entirely Dedede's fault for putting them in danger since he only wanted him gone, but human-turned-alien decided to let it slide as he was still a little shaken by the whole thing. The minute Toby found Tiff, he immediately ran over and checked if she was okay. Tiff assured the Star Warrior that she was fine, but still very appreciated the concern. If her red checks had any indications.

"Say, I've been meaning to ask." Toby said. "How did you and Mabel knew how to fight off the ghosts in the first place? With those Rue Flowers you guys used last night."

Kat suddenly looked shy.

"O-Oh... well, my mother had a real fascination with the supernatural and spends most of her time studying them. She even picked up on how to defend yourself against them. She taught me a few things as well in handling the entities and oddities."

"Wow. So like, you're a ghost hunter?"

"Not necessary, but I do have the capabilities. I'm more interested in fine arts, composers, and writing."

"That's very interesting, Kat." Tiff compliments.

"Thanks. Most people see my talents as a supernatural handler strange at times."

"Strange or not, it sure did come in handy in saving me." Toby said. "I owe you."

"Oh, y-you don't have to..."

"Nonsense. You practically save my life last night. I would gladly like to return the favor. Whatever you need, you can come to me."

Kat pauses, but smiles a little.

"T-Thank you."

"Hey, everyone! Come on, lunch is ready!" Miku calls out.

"Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm hungry. Let's eat!" Toby declares as he heads over to Miku and the others.

Kat couldn't help but giggle at the alien's antics.

"Is he usually like this?" She questions.

"Sometimes, yeah." Tiff answers. "He's a really nice and caring person when you get to know him."

Kat looks back at the pink warrior in amusement.

"I wonder what other things I will learn from you." The Cappy mutters to herself.

_Author's Notes_

Hello, everyone. It's me, The EnderPony Master. So, it has been a while since I've posted a new chapter. Sorry for that. Had a bit of Writer's Block. I know that it's normal for writers to get them, but BOY was this one was a doozy.

I mean, this episode had me thinking and reediting many times. I came so close to just straight up skipping this chapter and going over to the next episode, but decided against it as I wanted to do EVERY episode. All the way to episode 100. Also, I would like to say I'm sorry if this chapter seems a bit random with the whole "Dream Seeker" monster, but like I said before, this episode was a doozy. I had little to work with and had to find a way around the plot.

Anyway, I know I'm going through all of Kirby's forms a little too fast, and I'll try toning it down a bit. As for the Cappy character, Katherine. Well, I thought I might add a new Cappy instead of just using the usual ones that show up through the series. Not sure if there will be more new Cappies in the future, but we'll cross the bridge once we come to it.

Aright, well, I think that's about it for now. What will happen now that Katherine has moved into Cappy Town? Has Toby's encounter with Dream Seeker made him learn something? Is it weird that Galaxia likes to be flirty with our heroine? Find out next time on "Toby Right Back At Ya!"
