Chapter 3: I have no Idea
Why do I only see black?
"Probably because my eyes are closed." I sat up and opened my eyes.
Then, immediately shut my eyes and threw myself onto my back again. "I must be dreaming."
I decided to stand back up and open my eyes. Somehow, I was standing on a massive cliffside overlooking a massive expanse of something indescribable.
Against the clouded sky were several islands that were just floating in the sky. They simply hung there like pictures that were edited onto the landscape.
I saw huge mountain ranges, some of them seemed to reach the sky and a few actually seemed to be volcanoes as there was what looked to be lava flowing from the tip.
There was several other notable locations I saw as well, scattered across the land. I saw several different kinds of towns (a sprawling metropolis, a castle town and a few that were too far away to see clearly), ancient ruins, a bridge spanning one of the giant ravines that separated the land into different areas, a giant cave, and a forest with giant mushroom caps poking out of the top. The most interesting part of the view was the blue light coming out from the ravines.
"I still have no idea where I am," I scratched the back of my head, trying to clear my thoughts.
"So, my eyes were closed and I was on my back, right?" I thought, "I think that means I was asleep. Why would I sleep here? There's no bed, no blankets, and the ground wasn't comfortable to lay on."
Taking a moment to organize my thoughts, I decided to try and remember what happened before I went to sleep. Then it hit me.
Something was missing. All I could feel was a vast emptiness inside me, as if someone took a spoon and scooped out my insides with it. I was the big matryoshka doll without the smaller ones. I was a junk car that had the engine removed.
"Why do I keep making up hyperboles to describe hunger? Wait, is it hyperboles? Or was it simile? Metaphors?" I kept scratching my head as I continued to think, "I can't remember which. Actually, what can I remember?"
I began to walk away from the cliffside, hand on chin as I tried to remember. Nothing came to mind. Not anyone I know, where I am, and not even my name. Then I walked into something.
Knocked down onto my butt, I swore under my breath and began to look at what I walked into. A massive monument stood there. 30 feet tall, a stone base and on top was the upper torso of some blue guy with a pair of wings behind him.
Wiping some dirt off the nameplate after getting up, I read a name listed on it.
Smasher No. 06
Kirby
"Who the heck is Kirby? Some famous guy? And what's a smasher?" I put my hand on the nameplate. As soon as my fingers grazed the engraving of the name, it began to glow a light blue and the monument began to crack and fall apart.
Quickly, I began to backpedal away but, in my haste, I tripped and fell on my butt, again. The light from the nameplate began to spread out covering the entire monument as it glowed brighter and brighter to the point where I had to cover my face. Eventually, the light died down, leaving behind... a blob?
A blob might be one way to describe it. It had a pink sphere for a body with two nubs on the sides. Maybe as hands? Underneath the main body were two more blobs, shaped like feet and a more reddish color compared to the rest of the body. It turned around and I saw that it had a blush on either side of a mouth. It's eyes were a glowing red, giving me a pretty bad feeling. Then, those red eyes locked onto me.
"What the heck is th-" I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence as it began to charge at me. Right before it smacked into me, however, it became a fireball, plowing into my stomach and sending me flying.
"Ow!" I landed and instinctively began to roll, trying to put out the flames before I felt my stomach. None of my clothes had caught on fire, no traces whatsoever. Before my shock at this revelation fully set in, the evil blob began to run at me again.
"Take this!" I tried to kick it like a soccer ball but it flattened itself against the ground, my foot going over its head. With no resistance, my kick threw me off-balance, giving the blob a new opportunity. It pulled out a wooden hammer (from where though?) and swung it at my head. Thanks to physics, I was sent flying through again. Towards the cliff. Where I will most certainly fall to my doom.
"Nonononononononono-" I was cut short again, this time by something I was grateful for. A wall. Slowly, I slid down it before I began to look at it. It actually doesn't look like a wall. Instead, it was a bright green energy flowing upwards from the ground. It spread left and right, becoming a giant circle encompassing the area.
Hesitantly, I pressed my hand against it and felt resistance. Great, now I can't even run away. A voice broke through my thoughts.
"Roll to your left! Now!"
I did as the voice commanded, with a massive pink stone crushing the spot where I was previously. I looked up once I got out of my roll, finding the owner of the voice on the other side of the wall.
A woman, looking maybe early 20's stood there. She had white hair that flowed down her back and startling blue eyes. She had on a red and black flannel jacket with blue jeans and a gray messenger bag which she was digging around in. Pulling out a silver handle, she somehow stuck her hand through the wall, dropping it in front of me.
"What? How did you do that?" I said, awestruck. I had struck the wall with enough force that should have broken my body without the wall even cracking but she stuck her hand through like it was air.
"I'll answer your questions later," she pointed at the killer pink ball, "Just defeat Kirby already!"
Grabbing the handle, I leapt back from Kirby as he ran, making him run into the wall instead. I used the moment to take a quick glance at the handle in my hand. It had a red button on the side so, I decided to press it. A glowing energy blade shot out of the end (thankfully, the end pointing away from me) with it being a blue near the hilt and transitioning to a red orange at the tip.
Item Acquired:
Beam Sword
My eyes glanced up, seeing Kirby run at me again. This time, I decided to attack him this time, running forward at swinging the blade at Kirby before he could react. Instead of neatly cutting him in half like I thought it would, he was sent flying at the wall. I ran to the spot where I predicted he would land but, Kirby pulled what looked to be a knife-boomerang and jumped while in midair, then come crashing down. When he landed, a beam shot out, directly at me. I dodged the beam by moving to the side before swinging at the puffball again but he was ready. Dodging to the side, he kicked me back hard enough to send me flying several feet.
When I landed, something was different. I checked my hands to see that they were covered in a rainbow aura. No, my whole body was.
"You filled the Final Smash Meter!" That was the girl, shouting at me as if I knew what was going on. "Use your Final Smash!"
Kirby decided to charge at me again but I stood still. Why bother using energy to run at him when he's coming at me? Slowly, I took a deep breath in, then out. I gripped the handle of my sword with both hands and raised the blade above my head. Even though Kirby was still outside of my range, something inside of me told to swing my sword now.
As I brought down the sword, the rainbow aura surrounding me began to transfer itself to the blade, making it grow bigger and bigger.
"Big Big Blade Buster!" I cried out, smashing Kirby into the ground with the sword's humongous blade. After several seconds, the blade begin to shrink down to its normal size, at which point I pressed the button, turning the blade off. I began to walk to where Kirby used to be but, there wasn't a body. Instead, there was a figurine which I picked up.
Inspecting it, I saw Kirby on a circular platform, with a smile on his face and blue eyes instead of red. Staring at it, some foggy memory from the dark recesses of my mind came to the forefront. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
"Hey," it was the girl again. I guess the wall came down or something since she was right behind me. "What's your name?"
"My name?" I asked, turning to face her. "It's Nathaniel Ikeda. Nice to meet you."

Author's Theater:
MaskedGamer: Hello there! Welcome to Author's Theater! I'm the author, MaskedGamer! I guess you could call me MG for short.
MG: What's Author's Theater you ask? Well, inspired by M******* from (censored for your convenience), this is sorta just an after-chapter place for some fourth wall breaking and fun. Not every chapter will have one but when there is one, I'll combine it with the author's notes. Maybe there will be some characters here to talk at some point, it'll make me feel less lonely.
MG *slaps self*: Anyhow, chapter 3 is done! Thank you for the support and reviews! See you next chapter!
