Moving on

chapter 3: Post fight jet lag

These words struck Kirby as being outlandish, Meta Knight didn't just get kidnapped if that is what Tiff was implying. Still that did explain

why he saw a net drop down on the castle.

"Kirby are you feeling OK?" asked Tuff, in all honesty he wasn't he had just realized that the one person he had felt could help him understand who exactly he was had been unceremoniously lifted by the Storm Raiders. He couldn't help but feel that Meta Knight was part of the test they had given him

" Tuff I think that Kirby could use some rest. Lets get him back to his house." Tiff had said while trying to lift Kirby onto her back. Kirby had fainted. Several hours later he awoke to see the concerned faces of his friends it was obvious they wanted an explanation so he would give one to them. Or at least try to.

"So what your saying is you used the power eating the bomb gave you to blow up the ship. It didn't blow up completely and people calling themselves the storm raiders and offered you a challenge and kidnapped

Meta Knight." Tiff recounted the game of miming talking to Kirby was.

"Well that seems to cover everything, so you think the challenge has something to do with Meta Knight?" Tuff said to witch Kirby just nodded his head. All of a sudden the mailman came in and gave Kirby a letter

"From the king." he said and then quietly said to himself "Hope this will be peaceful we're just starting to rebuild." He hadn't thought anyone had heard him. Everyone had though and they we're all readily agreeing with him in their heads.

As they walked to Dedede's castle the thought on all of their minds was why King Dedede would want to see Kirby at the castle.

"Do you think it could be because he saved the town?" suggested Tuff.

"That seems like the thing that the king would want to ignore not honor, especially since it was Kirby. But stranger things could happen." Tiff had explained. With that they lapsed into silence and didn't say another word till they reached the castles front gate. They entered and when they did King Dedede was waiting for them.

"What are you doing Dedede?" asked Tiff.

"Go along kids me and your friend need to have a one on one talk, don't worry Kirby will be fine now go." Said King Dedede.

Tiff and Tuff left believing that Kirby could handle Dedede by himself if any thing did come up.

"Now Kirby." Dedede said. "Even though we have had a lot of disputes over your long stay in dreamland. You should know I can give credit where credit is do. And you definitely deserve credit, I had seen you swoop in and save the castle the town and who knows what else. If you hadn't done that not only would I have nothing to rule over but I would not be here right now." Kirby had listened and couldn't believe that the king was thanking him. Dedede had always wanted him gone. This was definitely new.

"Now I know what your probably thinking and no this is not a publicity stunt but I would like to give you my deepest thanks. And I will even say that I am sorry about all the trouble I put you through. I had never really been in the Kappy's place when it came to you saving them."

"That is the first part of why I called you here. I notice that Meta Knight is gone and I want you and your to little friends out there to go and find him. Blade and sword are well trained and are great knights but they lack Meta Knights skill. So will you become my private investigator?"

Kirby had been in shock he hadn't expected any of this to happen. First he gets an apology from the person he thought incapable of doing so. And he gets asked to rescue Meta Knight by him. He knew he was going to anyway so why not add something new to the mix. After some thought Kirby answered King Dedede by nodding his head and saying an exited "poyo".

"I'm glad to see you will do it. Well if we want you to get to work then we better start getting you ready for this trip across dreamland. I will have the chef prepared provisions for the journey you tell your friends what happened. Are we clear?" asked Dedede.

Kirby jumped in the air and expressed his agreement. He would be able to leave very soon. He just needed to tell Tiff and Tuff. He exited the chamber King Dedede had made him go to for the conversation and found Tiff and Tuff waiting for him, he told them the news and saw how shocked they were to here all this.

"Well we'll need to tell mom and dad we'll be going away for awhile wont we?" Said Tiff.

"Well what are we waiting for lets go tell them then." exclaimed Tuff and they all ran off to tell Tiff and Tuff"s parent's.

AN: sorry for any one reading this fic for not updating for around a week I had some writers block hope you found the plot twist in this chapter entertaining and pleas tell me if there is a better way to explain how Kirby speaks. End authors note.
