When we reached the edge of the forest the sky was a deep blue and the sky was filled with endless specs of light, twinkling in the warm breeze. "Pupuland is just over the hill." He said while looking to the horizon. It was a beautiful valley with flowers and covered in short grass. To the horizon there was a slight red, also some sort of mist was emanating form it. "I-is that f-fire?" I asked, pointing to the red sliver in the sky. His eyes seemed to have widened, thought it was hard to tell though his mask. "We should hurry." He said and started running. I hastily fallowed, but my body was still in pain, so I lost my energy rather quickly.
The blue blob person stopped and waited for me "Hurry." He said. "I'm trying!" I exclaimed angrily as I kept limping quickly as possible. Now an odd crackling noise could be herd not far ahead, and then when we came to the top the hill I felt my heart jump. It was the same place I was trying to run away form, but it was burning furiously under red hot fire. I had caught up to him and we both stood there, watching the fire slowly eat away at the flammable town. I felt a prick in my heart, What happened here? My body didn't feel the pain so much, but I could feel the blistering heat hit my body, causing my skin to let out little droplets of fluid.
"Sir Meta Knight!" A young girl's voice asked. We both glanced over to another odd creature. She at least had some form of body, but no legs. She had tea-green eyes and a long ponytail that swayed in the breeze. I felt no fear, as if this blue blob was my protection or something. "Fumu..." The blue blob said. So I assumed that was her name. "Something is wrong at the castle!" She called to him. All he did was nod and start running towards the castle. I hesitated, but soon fallowed, still limping my way along. We moved away from the fire and then before me was a great big hill that seemed to be a cliff on the far side. On the top of his hill was a orange castle-like building, but it seemed to defy the laws of physics, but I didn't know much about this place, so I guess I could be wrong.
After a small while of running/limping I came to a road, this time though it seems I was truly left behind. I could only see small figures far, far ahead of me. I stopped and sighed. "Crap," I whispered under my breath hoarsely. After I caught my breath I started to walk up the light dirt road; it hurt too much to run. While I hastily strode up the slowly inclining hill I pondered many unknown questions… First of all what is going on in this place? Who am I? And what am I doing here? Despite my thoughts though, I wouldn't find the answers now, maybe once I get up this hill I'll find out. One thing that surprized me though was how the blue blob, I believe Meta Knight was his name, just kind-of left me. I mean I wasn't that invisible, right? Maybe what ever is happening in the castle can't wait for the limping, half-dead creature, or maybe he thought I would stay behind. If that was so, then why didn't he hear me run soon after him? Well I suppose the fire was rather loud…
After a growling walk I finally was closing on the castle and I saw an abnormal sight. There was several large UFO looking objects surrounding the castle and they seemed to be firing at it. "T-that can't be right…" I huffed to myself. I felt that something was dreadfully wrong with this place. Does it have something to do with me? I wondered, but wondering wouldn't get me anywhere. I gritted my teeth and continued walking up the now steep slope that wasn't too far from the large drawbridge. Once I started gaining a better view I could see many beings running about; going in and out of the castle. Their voices were laced with sorrow and fear and some heads started turning once I entered the premises.
To be honest they were either too preoccupied or looked afraid of me, to be honest I wasn't sure what was happening. I felt their eyes stab my flesh, but I would not cower. I limped over to another round blob, but he seemed to be orange and have one large eye in the center of his head (or whatever it was). "What is going on?" I asked in desperation form knowledge. He gave me an odd look but soon answered. "Nightmare has returned, he has come for revenge." I stood there in confusion. Who is this 'Nightmare'? And why would he need revenge?
"You!" A familiar voice called. I turned my head to see Meta Knight running over to me.
"What?" I asked, becoming slightly frightened. "What are you doing here?" I thought about it for a moment, but I really didn't know. "I don't know." I said in all honesty. He motioned to two other beings that were dressed in colourful armour and held swords. "Gide her to where the rest of the citizens are." He commanded. And soon enough I was hastily guided to a place further away from the castle. I attempted to run, but there was too much pain. "I'm sorry… I-I can't run." I explained to them. They nodded and slowed down accordingly.
We then came to a cave opening and there were a large number of creatures there. I turned around to see the two that guided me running off. I gazed off in the distance for a while until I heard a familiar voice. "Excuse me," the voice said shyly. I turned around to see the young girl-like creature... her name was… Fumoo? "Yes," I said cautiously. She gave a smile. "I was just wondering… who are you?" She asked kindly. I felt a surge in my gut at that. "…I don't remember…" I said in all honesty. She hummed and then said: "Do you remember your name?" I thought for a moment. "I…I really don't know." I said sadly. She remained silent for a while, but soon said: "Well what do you want your name be in the mean time?" I was rather puzzled by that statement… or question. "I don't know." She hummed again. "How about Moona?" She asked. I blinked. "I guess…" I said insecurely. She smiled. "Well Moona, my name is Fumu, it's nice to meet you!" Se beamed happily. I shook her hand and she told me to talk to her if I needed anything and left.
While I waited in the cave I watched the creatures around me talk and gossip about what was going on. Form what I could tell it was most likely an attack from a big power in the universe. But it seemed no one knew much of anything. They would give me looks; sympatric looks, curios looks and most certainly looks of disgust. I over head several of them talk about me, none of it was anything good. Some even went as far as to blame me for the destruction of their town. As ludicrous as it was I didn't even know if it was false. For as much as I knew I was lost in space and being part of a violet empire they, thinking I was kidnapped, decided to kill every one. Or I may even be a criminal. Either way I wouldn't go back.
After some time had passed some one yelled that Sir Meta Knight was returning; he must have been a respected knight… which meant he was probably powerful. Then the said knight entered the cave with two the same two knights that led you here. "What's going on?" Fumu asked. Meta Knight almost looked sorrowful at the thought. "…They left nothing salvageable of the castle, and despite our efforts Kirby has been abducted." He said. At that every one gasped and started to murmur. Who is Kirby?! I thought. Fumu looked very distort at his news, but then her face turned into one of determination. "We have to get him back!" She stated. Everyone silenced for a moment, but then some spoke up. "But how do we do that? We aren't soldiers; we don't know how to do that kind of stuff." One spoke. "Yeah, we should just rebuild the village and move on." Another said. "How can you say that! Remember all the times he saved the village?! We all owe him our lifes!" Fumu exclaimed.
"Well what about her?" One pointed to me, "She probably has something to do with this." Everyone then looked at me in a silence stare. I then stood up; towering over all of them. "Well if you want to blame me, fine. Do it. I don't care about your crap, so take it some where else!" I stated. I then made my way out until I was standing before Meta Knight. I looked down at him; he was the only one that didn't give me space when I walked. "What?" I asked bluntly. "If you don't remember anything then where do you plan on going to?" He asked… smartly. I huffed. He had a point, what the heck was I going to do? Should I help them find this 'Kirby'? Or should I just walk off and live in the wilderness. I did come form space, so the chances of me finding anything are a lot better if I go with them… but I don't want to give this smug little thing that satisfaction.
"…Fine. I will go along with your little rescue mission, but as soon as that is over I am leaving…That is if there is going to be a rescue mission…" I said, as I looked over to the creatures behind me.
"…Well I guess we can go. Fumu is right; we owe Kirby our lifes." One said. "And if she is willing to be on our side, then I am too." Another said. Then the crowd of people started to talk amongst themselves. "I only have one question." Fumu said, "How are we going to get a space ship?" It was a good question. Dose this place have any space ships? I questioned. "What about my ship?" I asked. "No, it is only big enough to hold you and there is no defence or attacking systems on it." Meta Knight said. I hummed in thought, but I didn't know of anything else. How was I supposed to know what these people did or did not have? But as I soon learned these people were more resourceful then I thought.
