Chapter 3

Another beautiful afternoon on Planet Popstar. The birds flew with an aura of joy cloaking them. The white clouds stroll across the morning skies. Boy, this is a day where everyone can certainly go biking. It would remain the same for the Pink Puff, the Purple Puff, and his two new friends, Lucas and Jeff. The three heroes introduced themselves in person. They spoke about their past adventures. They even went on several small adventures across the whole of Popstar. The two children had forgotten about the crisis on their planet because they enjoyed their time on Dreamland that much. Meanwhile the Purple Puff Ball, Metaknight, was still concerned about how the two happy children lost their home world. He had a feeling that something will happen at any moment, and he was ready for it.

Exactly Seven Hours later.

(Vigilante - Hans Zimmer plays.)

Lucas and Jeff are sitting on top of a beautiful tree. The night was beautiful, but Metaknight was watching them from the top of a mountain, hoping to get more information without putting harm on them. The night was soon back to depression for three seconds. The children remembered the crisis on their home world. Boy it was Fortunately, they spoke positive things about where they are right now. It was rare for anyone to talk positive about something during a night of depression. "Jeff, I love this place." Lucas said, having already being a new friend of Kirby. "I love it too." Jeff responded, giving a warm smile which he never does. "Kirby is really a special friend. I've never met someone as nice as him, except for Ness." "I wish Ness didn't sacrifice himself to save us." "I believe he's still out there, alive." "Lucas, If we rescue our dear friend Ness and our home world is still gone, could we live here on this planet?" Lucas was thinking about it. For him, it was a great place. However, he wasn't sure if he could live on Dreamland completely; he did miss home, and no one would blame him. Anyone who was violent enough to hurt someone's home world for pleasure must be a demon to humanity. This was something that shouldn't be taken lightly at all, especially for Metaknight who isn't happy with whoever did this to the poor children. The Purple Puff spread his night wings like a bat and took off into the shadows to find the Pink Puff.

Meanwhile, Kirby is in a sky watch. He was staring at the magnificent stars like he was in theaters watching the best movie of all time. The stars flickered like christmas lights, creating a trace of light. It showed an art of a large mythological phoenix expanding. Unknown to Kirby from far away, it was actually the Phoenix Force itself, flying across an ocean of stars in search for something. What was the Phoenix searching for? What was it's purpose? Questions like that would make anyone wonder why. However, something does happen to the Pink Puff. "Kirby!...…." A dark yet desperate voice came from nowhere. The Pink Puff did hear the voice. Where was it coming from? Who was it that called him? The Star Warrior himself would look around in circles, searching for it. It was all confusing. How could a voice come out of nowhere if it's not to be found physically? For Kirby, this was a question he would answer later. He sprinted at the speed of sound with his chubby red feet, hoping to find where the voice came from. The Pink Puff would stop, thinking it was only his dreams. At least for now….

…..Until it happens again five seconds later. "You must escape your planet now! He's coming for you and the others!" "Poyo!" The Pink Puff would open his eyes, looking around for that desperate voice once again. Was this some kind of disease? Is Kirby going insane, or is the voice really there? It turns out it wasn't him. The Pink Puff would briefly see a vision of the Embodiment of all Evil and the Dread One destroying stars and galaxies. The Pink Puff would also witness his home world breaking apart into flames, the universe being engulf in a large blast of light, and the Dread One laughing in pleasure before returning back to the real world. A giant demonic asteroid was entering Dreamland. It was nearly as large the moon; it was coming down at violent speeds. All Kirby could do was nothing but sprint with haste. This demonic yet giantic asteroid would have its skin erupt with fire flying at the face of Dreamland. It was the same fiery dragons from the crisis of Earth. The beasts came at the Pink Puff and struck him with haste. Boy, was that one of the hardest strikes ever.

The Star Warrior was launched into the night. Boy, he took a huge hit; it burnt like the sun. Actually, the skin of the fiery beasts is greater than the surface of a giant star. This would continue for a few twenty seconds until a warp star came to the Pink Puff's rescue, evading the last blitz of fury. The Pink Puff recovers and proceeds to cock his own version of a back fist at one of the beasts, knocking it out cold. The Pink Puff would follow up with a strong roundhouse kick at another beast. Kirby became a living tornado of punches and kicks, striking back at the beasts with haste and power. Unfortunately, this grand onslaught would not last as the demonic asteroid meets the face of Dreamland. The sacred flames of the asteroid expands across the surface of Popstar like a disease. The Pink Puff was caught in the middle of the blast, engulfing him in it. The fiery beasts vaporized into thin air. The forest catches fire and the skies turn dark orange like Halloween. No one appeared to have survived until an area of flames forms a vortex, thinning itself until the Pink Puff had inhaled it. This was remarkable because no one except a few would be able to survive that blast. The Pink Puff had transformed into Fire Kirby. Staring at the fiery beasts flying in the night, the Star Warrior was ready for battle.

(Music ends. Blood of my Blood - Hans Zimmer plays.)

Meanwhile, Metaknight, Lucas, and Jeff are storming through the fiery beasts too on ground zero. Metaknight had chopped the heads of the beasts with the legendary blade, Galaxia. No regular weapon would be able to permanently kill them. However, Galaxia was no ordinary blade of gold. So was Lucas' power, who summons bright hexagon lights to vaporize half the army with his hands and feet. Jeff was definitely no slouch for his guns were no ordinary weapons too. Jeff was shooting laces of purple beams, destroying the magic aura and energy of the fiery beasts with his death beam gun. The trio were continuing their onslaught until the ground shook to its knees. The demonic asteroid trembles and shatters as a dark and gory humanoid like demon merges out of it. It appeared black, invisible to the human eye. It's reptilian wings spread into the night like a giant bat would do it. It was coming for the Trio. The shadow was angry at them for siding with the Savior. It lashed out a large demonic energy wave at the heroes with its hands. Having no time to react, Metaknight himself quickly did a circle with Galaxia, forming a swamp color shield around himself, Lucas and Jeff. The heat was beyond the temperature of any star. "AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!"

"Metaknight!" Lucas would close his eyes in calmness. The demonic wave would slowly vaporize the barrier of Galaxia, making it suffocate, gradually. The boy would later open his eyes that shined a bright light blue. The Boy leaps at the blast it, lashing out a psychic glacier, completely freezing the attack. This would angry the shadow, forcing it to grow in height. It would charge at the trio at violent yet astonishing speeds. However, sacred flames of a fireball would meet the blitz. It forces the shadow back several miles; at last, the shadow reveals itself. It was Jennifer Kale, an 8'5" giant zombie avatar of the Dread One. She was half naked; her skin and looks made an ogre look like the better looking celebrity. She stared at the flaming ball who reveals itself too. The flaming ball happens to be Kirby himself, ready for battle. He had dispatched the fiery beasts on his own. The Fiery Pink Puff glared at the Avatar of the Dread One with his very eyes. He was more than pissed off at her; he just wants to destroy her for invading Dreamland. This battle ready Pink Puff is a lot more powerful than anyone would assume him to be. He has cracked Planet Popstar in half, destroyed Nova who was a planet size genie, cracked mirror world in half while being nerfed of his strength. However, the same can be said for Jennifer for her she was amplified by his master and the Embodiment of Evil itself. This fight was about to go down in flames. Lucas could only watch while Metaknight and Jeff were armed and ready. The Demon herself spoke. "All hail King Dormammu; All hail Savior Giygas." So the fight begins...
