A few days after Dedede's food heist had taken place, everything seemed normal once again. King Dedede had become bedridden after his fall from the castle, so that meant no more schemes in the meantime. However, the penguin king was running everyone ragged in the castle. During one of his rants, Fumu, Bun, and Kirby decided to get out of the castle for some fresh air.
"Hey, Kirby. Look!" Fumu pointed. "Gooey's roof is fixed."
"So I guess that means his job went over well." Bun said.
"Then that means…that Gooey must be back, poyo!" Kirby cried with delight.
The three raced to the blob's house and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal the friendly Dark Matter.
"Kirby!" Gooey yelled in surprise.
"Gooey, you're back, poyo!"
"You noticed I had the roof fixed? I'll tell you though, that job wasn't easy." Gooey stepped outside of his house.
"How so? You seem to be in a good mood." Fumu said.
"Oh, I'm glad because I'm back. If it hadn't been because the roof needed to be fixed, I never would have went over there if I knew what would happen over there."
(watch?v=oBpdgqnRMEc)
The three suddenly sensed that a lengthy story was coming.
"First of all, the trip over there wasn't fun. It was long and all you could wonder was "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?". It went on forever! Then when I got there, the reception was not friendly, let me tell you! The locals there are very territorial and they don't like outsiders very much."
Fumu sweat dropped. "I'm sorry that it didn't go so well but-"
"Oh, that isn't even the beginning! There's this other guy that's been causing all kinds of trouble over there. He's wanted for stealing, vandalism, shoplifting, resisting arrest, loitering, and wearing a black bowler hat and a mustache."
"Isn't stealing and shoplifting the same crime?" Fumu raised an eyebrow.
"Try telling the locals that." Gooey rolled his eyes.
"…He's wanted for wearing a bowler hat and a mustache?" Bun gaped.
"It's very illegal over there, right up with eating French fries without ketchup on a Tuesday. If you're just wearing a bowler hat or mustache, it's okay, but never the two together." Gooey explained.
"So they're trying to catch this guy and it turns out that apparently this guy looks a lot like me. So they think that guy is me! Can you believe that?! And get this, his name is Yeoog. Pretty weird name, huh? So I'm trying to plead my innocence and while I'm doing that, the real Yeoog shows up and tries to take my job!"
"Yeah, that's really unfair and all but-" Bun interrupted.
"Then when that happened, we both went to court and it all went downhill from there! But I wasn't going to let some juvenile delinquent steal my job, nuh uh! I went in that court room and I told them what's what! Apparently they don't like being told what's what, because then they tried to arrest me for speaking out in a court room!"
"Gooey, that's really unfortunate but-" Fumu cut in.
"I thought that you were supposed to defend your innocence in a court room! Every time I tried to speak, they would add on another penalty, but I stayed strong. So I went up to the judge, and do you know what I said? I said-"
"SCREEEE!" A loud cry sounded from the sky.
"No, I didn't say 'SCREEEE', I said-"
"Sssh!" Fumu shushed.
The four became silent as they listened for any other sounds. The area became quiet once again.
"What…what was that, sis?" Bun asked.
"I'm not sure, Bun. Whatever it was, it sounded like it came from something big."
Gooey gulped. "Let's hope it went somewhere far far away from here."
Suddenly, they saw a familiar beach ball in their area.
"Marx…was that you making that noise?" Fumu asked.
"No, it wasn't me. There's something going on in town. I thought you might be interested, you know?"
"Hey, Kirby. Who's the clown?" Gooey asked.
"That's Marx, poyo. He's my new friend!"
"So, I suppose he was my replacement while I was gone?" Gooey questioned.
"No, it's not like that, poyo!"
"I know it isn't Kirby! I was just messing with you."
The group of five arrived in Cappy Town. The citizens were all out on the street while Mayor Len spoke in the front.
"Marx, what's going on?" Bun whispered.
"I don't know. It's something about a bird." The jester answered.
"Bird…?" The siblings repeated, then gasped.
"Dyna Blade!"
"What's a Dyna Blade?" Gooey asked.
"Ssh! The Mayor is about to speak!" Fumu shushed.
(watch?v=HUyXaS1l_5k)
"As many of you are well aware, our peaceful town has been attacked by Dyna Blade recently. She's taken our crops and brought property destruction with her flight. Without our crops, Cappy Town's will have nothing to export, leading our town to go into a depression."
"Can't the king do something about it?" Gooey whispered to Fumu.
"Like Dedede is ever going to lift a finger to help someone."
"Hmm, well Kirby…since you're a hero why don't you go?" Marx asked.
"Huh? What do you mean, poyo?" Kirby asked.
"You told me you're a hero and you saved Pop Star, you know? So why would a giant bird be a problem for you?" Marx mused.
"You can't expect Kirby to take on Dyna Blade!" Fumu scolded.
"But sis, what's Dyna Blade to taking down Dark Matter three times? He can do it." Bun reasoned.
"Yeah Kirby. Dyna Blade should be easy to beat compared to Zero." Gooey said.
"Wait, poyo! Who said anything about fighting?! Can't this be resolved peacefully, poyo?"
"You know how Dyna Blade is. I doubt she would be willing to let this go without violence." Bun said.
"Kirby, what do you want to do?" Fumu asked, looking him in the eyes.
"I…I can't let the village suffer, poyo…I'll try to talk to Dyna Blade."
"And then there'll be fried chicken." Marx licked his lips.
Fumu glared at Marx who stuck out his tongue in response.
"Okay, poyo. I guess I'll go. It must have been scary for you Marx since you were in the inn's top floor. Dyna Blade must have sounded much closer, poyo."
"Oh, about that. The inn keeper kicked me out a few days ago."
"What?! Then…where have you been staying this whole time?" Fumu asked.
"I've been sleeping in bushes mostly. No room for me, nope nope."
"You've been sleeping outside this whole time? Why didn't you say anything?" Fumu questioned the little jester.
"It just slipped my mind, you know?"
"How does being homeless slip one's mind?!" Fumu asked, exasperated.
"Oh, I know!" Gooey hopped in. "You can stay with me! We can be log mates!"
"Oh, um…thank you…" Marx uttered.
"It's okay! You can make yourself at home when we get there!" Gooey was nudging Marx until Kirby interrupted.
"Gooey, Marx doesn't like to be touched, poyo. At all." Kirby whispered.
"Oh…good thing you told me then…"
Gooey and Marx headed to Gooey's log cabin while Kirby said his farewells to Fumu and Bun. Kirby was going to stop Dyna Blade's rampage, or the village would no longer be inhabitable.

Kirby followed Dyna Blade's trail, arriving in a place called Peanut Plains. Several Waddle Dees roamed the plains wild and carefree, ignoring the pink puffball for the most part. Kirby inhaled a Sir Kibble to gain the Cutter ability and moved forward on his way.
Kirby dashed along the plains, seeing several Waddle Dees and the occasional Waddle Doo. He jumped over a few small ponds until finding himself in a large treehouse-like area. He climbed the ladders and headed into the next area after smashing a few blocks in his way.
He puffed up and floated across the rockier landscape and dropped into a small crevice. Kirby was then faced by a Kawasaki look-alike. The look-alike pulled out a ladle and tried to scoop up Kirby. The pink puffball dodged and threw his cutter blade.
The Kawasaki double threw a plate at Kirby, which hit him in the forehead. Kirby threw his cutter blade once more and took down the double. Kirby ran past the defeated look-alike and exited the plains.

The next area the young Star Warrior traveled to was Mallow Castle. Kirby inhaled a floating umbrella in the wind, transformed to Parasol Kirby, then entered the castle.
Kirby went in the first room he saw inside the castle, only to be surprised when he was ambushed.
"This is our hideout, so scram!" One armor clad inhabitant with a skull mask said.
"I was just passing by, poyo…" Kirby tried to leave but one of the gang members with a lance stopped him.
"Just passing by, hmm? Well, we'll make sure that doesn't happen again." The skull masked member said.
Kirby held his umbrella in a defensive stance.
"Aww, look. He's got an umbrella. Look kid, that isn't gonna hel- OW!" Kirby smacked the lance user in the face.
Kirby swung his umbrella at the skull masked axe user. He was flung aside as one with a mace showed up. The pink puffball defeated the mace user by flinging him with the umbrella. Once the gang was defeated, Kirby scurried oit of the room and traversed deeper into the castle.
Kirby released his parasol ability and inhaled a Bio Spark for the Ninja ability. Kirby traveled through the castle with the new stealth his ability brought him. Kirby found the outside of the castle, and walked down it's concrete path.
At the end of the path stood a Bonkers clad in green. The Bonkers threw three exploding nuts while Kirby threw his knives. Bonkers pounded the pink puffball with his hammer repeatedly, until Kirby jumped up and dealt the finishing blow.
Kirby found his way to the end of the castle,then made his way to the next area.

The hero of Dreamland arrived at Cocoa Cave. The purple cave was a big source of ore for the inhabitants of Dreamland, so Kirby resolved to cause as little damage as possible to the area.
He inhaled a nearby Plasma to become Plasma Kirby. This form also helped navigate though the somewhat dark area, as the sparks coming from his now green body lighted his way somewhat.
Several Noddys slept in Cocoa Cave, most likely because the dark allowed them to sleep without interruption. Kirby found himself in a windy passage in the cave,. He fought against the wind current as it pushed him into several enemies in his way. Kirby jumped over a small gap and entered a safe room.
Kirby walked down the slopes and floated over the streams of magma, landing safely on the other side. The next room was colder, and inhabited by a few Chillys. Kirby's Warp Star cleared the rocks in his way, then took him out of Cocoa Cave.
At the end of the small forested area outside the cave was a green Bugzzy. The Bugzzy jumped up and hovered in the air. The hero of Dreamland used his Plasma Needles to attack his opponent in the air. The Bugzzy fell on the ground, then lunged for Kirby.
The puffball jumped out of the way and charged his power, releasing a Plasma Wave that finished off his enemy. He ran out of the forest and to the next location.

The fourth area Kirby traveled to was Candy Mountain. The area was very similar to the mountain on Neo Star from his Crystal Shard adventure with Ribbon and the others. Kirby smiled, getting lost in the memories. He shook his head and reminded himself that he had a mission to accomplish.
Beginning his ascension up the mountain, Kirby inhaled a Burning Leo to become Fire Kirby. The hero of Dreamland climbed up the mountain with ease, few enemies standing in his way. Kirby burned a bomb block, allowing him to proceed to the next section of the mountain.
The next section was more dangerous than before. There were small streams of lava coming from the walls of the mountain, so Kirby would have to navigate carefully. The pink Star Warrior inflated himself and cautiously floated around the streams of lava.
He found himself at a safe zone on the mountain, at least that's what he thought. Kirby was surrounded by the most vicious species in the Gamble Galaxy. Scarfies were everywhere, to the left, to the right. This wouldn't be a simple task, as they were already licking their lips in anticipation and hunger.
Kirby turned himself into a giant fireball and barreled through the crowd of ravenous Scarfies. They were flung out of the way as he ran as fast as his feet would allow. He only stopped when he was at Candy Mountain's summit and away from the Scarfies.
At the summit, Kirby ran into Mr. Frosty once again. However, Kirby had an advantage over his opponent by having the superior elemental opposite. Kirby spewed his fiery breath, quickly defeating Mr. Frosty. Kirby discarded his Fire ability and inhaled Mr. Frosty, then gaining the Ice ability.
Kirby's next opponent was another Bonkers clad in green. Kirby skated around and blew his icy breath on his opponent. The Bonkers tried to hit the now light blue puffball with his hammer, but Kirby defended himself by creating a shield of ice.
Kirby quickly and easily defeated the Bonkers and skated to his next opponent, or rather opponents. Kirby was confronted by two Poppy Bro Sr.s in his haste. The hero of Dreamland jumped into the air and blew his icy breath, successfully freezing a Poppy Bro Sr. Kirby kicked the ice cube into the other, defeating both in one fell swoop.

Kirby had finally reached the fifth and final area, Dyna Blade's Nest. The pink puffball climbed up the mountain and chose his ability, Sword Kirby. The pink Star Warrior heard a shrill cry from the distance. The giant bird appeared and flapped her enormous wings.
(watch?v=EbjzCLPKQ_E)
Before Kirby could speak, Dyna Blade lunged for the pink puffball. He nearly escaped Dyna Blade's talons squeezing him. It was obvious that Dyna Blade wasn't going to let Kirby leave without a fight.
Kirby swung his sword at Dyna Blade, the sharp feathered bird gave a shrill squawk before swooping for the green capped puffball. Kirby slid out of the way and made an uppercut. Dyna Blade spit three small fireballs, and Kirby deflected each one with his sword.
Kirby swung again as Dyna Blade stretched her neck to peck him. The humongous bird recoiled and flew away. Just when Kirby thought the battle was over, Dyna Blade flew in trying to knock the Star Warrior off the mountain.
Kirby sidestepped Dyna Blade's attack. He jumped into the air and performed a Sword Spin. On his second spin, Dyna Blade knocked him to the ground with one of her wings.
The pink puffball quickly rose to his feet and charged toward his opponent. He swung his sword one final time and Dyna Blade fell to the ground. He didn't want it to come to this, but the town needed help. Suddenly, Kirby heard a soft noise.
"Peep…peep peep…"
Kirby walked toward the noise in curiosity, only to gasp at the sight.
Dyna Blade had not one, not two, but three chicks. Kirby understood everything now. Dyna Blade had stolen the crops from the town to feed her three babies…and Kirby had injured the mother.
"Oh no, poyo…" Kirby looked at the chicks.
"What have I done?!"
(watch?v=G3YguM6bPR8)
Kirby quickly pushed the nest and the chicks to a safe area under a Whispy Woods tree. He hopped up the branches and knocked some apples from the tree. The chicks ate them hungrily and without difficulty.
The pink puffball inflated himself to teach them how to fly. The three chicks flapped their wings with Kirby. One lagged behind, but eventually caught up with the others. Dyna Blade, now recovered from the fight, gave an understanding nod toward Kirby.
Both understood the other's reason for attack. The two parted ways on good terms. Kirby waved at Dyna Blade and her chicks as they flew into the sunset, the family returned to their home.

"I went into that courtroom and I told them what's what! Apparently they don't like being told what's what, because-"
Marx was bundled in blankets on the floor of Gooey's house. Gooey's story would have been very interesting to the little jester if he didn't feel so tired at the moment. Marx just wanted to sleep after so long of sleeping in bushes. The twigs would always dig into his soft lavender skin, and he would be sore the next day.
He just wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep…but Gooey wouldn't let that happen anytime soon.
"Gooey! I wanna go to bed!"
Author's Note: Now, I know this isn't the most exciting chapter, but at least Gooey and Marx were there to make it somewhat funny. The next chapter is going to be hilarious, I promise. It will be one of the most remembered chapters of the fanfiction for all the right ways. There will be loads of references and memes to recognize. It'll be great, I promise!
