Imp City was awfully quiet for being one of many cesspools in Hell's Rings. But that silence was quickly broken by the sound of running and labored breathing as three Imps and a Female Hellhound were zooming down the street, looking terrorized by what they had just encountered. They were Blitzø Buckzo, Moxxie and Millie Knolastname and Loona, Blitzø's daughter. And as said, they were running from something that brought fear into their hearts.

"Move your ass, Moxxie!" The boss of the group said. "It's coming!"

"S-S-Stay calm, sir! I'm sure we can get away from it!" Moxxie stammered to reply, not very confident in his own words.

But Millie was the one to look back in fear as she said "Uh…I don't think so, Moxxie!!"

The being they were running from casted its large shadow over the walls of the neighboring buildings. Tremendous stomps could be heard with every step it took towards the very prey they were hunting. It was a beast, unlike anything Hell has experienced, or ever will again. A being so fearsome, so terrible, so mind bendingly powerful that those with weak constitutions will flee from its sights.

And as such, the I.M.P. crew were doing just that right, ducking through every street corner, every block, in the hopes of getting away. But unfortunately, this lead them to a dead in. Horrified that he and his crew are about to die, Blitzø tries clawing at the wall, in the hopes of climbing or finding some way out of here. But it was futile; they were cornered and their worst nightmare was already closing.

They huddled together as the shadow of their coming foe drew closer and closer. Blitzø picked up a stick as the only means to defend themselves, Loona backed herself up against the wall while Moxxie and Millie held each other close.

"This is the end." Moxxie whimpered as tears came down his eyes, looking to his wife. "I love you, Millie."

"I know, Moxxie. I love you too."

"I don't wanna die! I really don't wanna die!" Blitzø cried.

"Where did my life go so wrong that I meet my end by…THAT?!" Loona asked.

And that is when their destroyer was revealed in his entirety. It was a being that known to be fear all the right reasons. Never before has there been another monster such as this. For it was….

"Hiiiiii!!!!"

Kirby…

EARLIER…

On Planet Popstar, the Pink One known was Kirby was up one day, walking through Dream Land…when he saw it. A Warp Star, but unlike any he had ever witnessed before; it was black with a glowing red aura, not to mention it looked sharper at point. There was a pentagon in the center, its sides meeting the corners of the Star, and last but not least, the thing was upside down.

Never before had Kirby ever seen a Warp Star like this. It feel…evil. Rather demonic even. The only magic that could make a Warp Star like this belonged to Dark Forces with voids in their hearts. It could explain the existence of this Star, and why it feels this way. If anyone were to ride it, chances are that they would not be taken to the most pleasant of places.

Now, Kirby should've known better…but like a child, curiosity gets the better of him and he hitched a ride on the Star. As he did, the humming of it charging up and readying itself for transport sounded eerie and not as stellar as the regular Stars should be. Soon after that, the Star began to shake, and Kirby's eyes grew wide as he held on, wanting to see what would happen next.

Much to his surprise, the Star didn't go up…it went down.

Down, through the ground, drilling through dirt and solid rock and it showed no signs of stopping. Kirby thought that this star was gonna be taking him to the center of the Earth. But instead, it was taking him to somewhere a little more…horrific than he was used to.

The Star continued to burrow through the ground until it burst through, the above ground of the underground? Whatever the generalization of it was didn't matter as Kirby to looked to see that the skies were red, a grizzly looking city was underneath him as he descended, a giant star overlooked the city from above, with a moon in the sky sharing the same symbol. The only thing that seemed out of place was a something white and bright, far in the distance. Kirby could tell that whatever was over there would probably feel a hundred times better than where he's going as the Warp Star descends. A chill of fear ran through him as he began to reach the dark buildings, and the signs that said "Welcome to HELL" were everywhere, just about confirming that he was not in Dreamland anymore.

Fortunately, it seemed as if the Star was not taking him directly into the belly of this beastly city. Instead, Kirby found himself on a course down into another town, one that looked more inhospitable than the rest of this unholy place.

He reached the bottom, and the Star dissipated, leaving him stranded in wherever the heck he was now. A sign pointed out he was in some place called "Imp City", and Kirby could guess it was named after the inhabitants of this town.

It mattered little to him as he decided to get a move on, seeing what this place has in store for him. Deciding to take one step at a time, he looked around and saw how derelict and rather cartoonishly evil this place was. He highly doubted that he was gonna find any friendly faces around here. At least, he hoped he wouldn't have to fight anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.

And at the moment, it might just be. For then, making a sharp turn around the corner, a van with a dented hood and crudely painted logo on either side was coming, speeding down the road that Kirby was walking on. Acting quickly, Kirby flipped out of the way just as the van made a sudden curve and crashed into a post.

Kirby was wide eyed at the sight of what just happened as he went to go see if anyone inside was okay. But that was when someone kicked the driver seat door open and hopped out while two others slid open the back door and got out themselves, one of them was carrying the other's shoulder over theirs. Kirby could see they were all red with horns sticking out of heads; one of them was tall and lanky while the others were shorter, male and female.

"I gotcha, Moxxie. Take it one step at a time." Millie said as she carried her husband away from the wreckage. The hellhound inside was looking a bit impatient to get out herself.

"Would you mind moving your fat ass a little quickly! It was cramped enough as it was back here!"

Moxxie sighed and muttered "Like that was my fault." Then, he turned to his boss, Blitzø. "Sir, what happened?!"

"Hey, don't blame me!!!" Blitzø screeched. It was that stupid pink thing that was in the middle of the road!"

He gestured to said pink thing, who was looking at them with a rather blank expression. Blitzø glared at Kirby, stomping over to him and secretly pulling out his pistol for good measure.

"Hey, Pinky! You have any idea how stupid it was the be walking in the middle of the road?!" He was met with Kirby continuing to stare at him blankly. "…Hello?! You have anything to say for yourself?"

"…Poyo?"

And now, Blitzø was the one with a blank expression.

"I think this guy's a retard." He said to his employees. Now, they were all looking at him curiously.

"I don't think I've ever seen a being like him around here." said Moxxie.

"He is kinda cute." Millie replied. "A small, pink and round."

Finally getting out of the van, Loona caught sight of Kirby and couldn't help but bring out her phone with a sly smile on her face as she started to take pictures.

"I'm sure he'll make for a good couple of likes and re-posts."

Kirby noticed this and passed Blitzø, walking over to the female hound.

"Hey!" Blitzø screamed. "I'm not done talking to you!"

The Pink One paid no attention to the skinny one as he went over to look at the furry one who looked down at him as he gave her a friendly wave with a genuine smile.

"Hmph." Loona couldn't help but feel a little bit amused by this guy. "Kind of a friendly little guy, isn't he?"

Even Moxxie and Millie smiled at the innocence that Kirby seemed to admit from his being. But as they were getting along, Blitzø decides to spoil the moment by aiming at Kirby's back.

"That's it….just keep him distracted long enough for me to turn him into a pink and red donut." He muttered.

Unfortunately, Moxxie spotted this and just had to call out "SIR, NO!"

This made Kirby turn almost immediately and dodge as soon as Blitzø fired at him. The bullet flew passed between Loona's legs. She stood stiff for a moment before turning to her adopted father and growling at him, all while Blitzø was looking to immediately be regretting his decision.

"What the fuck is your problem?!"

"Uh, L-Looney! I swear! I was just aiming for the little-" He didn't have time as they all heard of a…vacuum? It was the that a swirling vortex was coming from right next to them and they looked to see that Kirby had opened up his mouth wide and was inhaling a whole lot of air. The I.M.P Crew tried to hold their ground and to not get sucked up by the vortex coming from this cute little guy's apparent black hole of a mouth. The one thing to get sucked up was Blitzø's pistol as it slipped from his grasp and entered into the maw of the beast, who know looked like he was holding his breath.

"Hey! Give that back!"

Kirby technically did as he was asked. He "pewed" the pistol out, but Blitzø wasn't expecting it to be swirly around in a star …that was coming right at him…at hurt a lot in impact. The Boss of this gang of assassins was slammed against the side of their wrecked van as the three others were frozen shocked by what they had just witnessed.

"Ow…" Blitzø muttered, rubbing his head in pain before turning to his employees. "What the fuck are you standing around for?! Fucking get this creep!"

Millie turned to her husband and said "I'm afraid we're gonna have to kill this guy, Moxxie."

"Aw, crumbs." They pulled out their own respective weapons and turned to Kirby. Moxxie aims two guns at the Pink One. "No hard feelings, my friend."

Realizing that he's put himself in dangers, Kirby takes evasive actions as he dodged the shots fired at him. He had to do the same with Millie, who was trying to hack in half with a giant axe, forcing him to power slide to the left.

"Hold still, little guy!" She shouted, but Kirby did nothing of the sort. Instead, he inhaled once more and managed to get himself Millie's axe. "Hey!"

Swallowing it, he had actually managed to himself a copy ability and became "Axe Kirby", having a cute little axe that sized up with his little stature, also having a little star on top, and a Viking styled helmet like the Axe Knights he faces back home.

The Imps and Loona did not see that coming as the little pink ball now had a weapon of his own.

"Wow. Didn't think this little guy could get any cuter." Loona said as she continued to take pics.

"Uh…are we sure it's still a good idea to be fighting this…whatever it is?" Moxxie asked.

"Yes it is, Moxxie!" Blitzø said as he recovered and pulled out another pistol. "For fuck's sake, grow a pair and don't have your wife always do it for you!"

"I'll take that as a compliment." Millie replied as she pulled out a rifle from the van and loaded it. And with that, they all began to fire at Kirby, who used the Axe to deflect the bullets. They could swear, he was flashing white for a second while repelling their attacks. Next thing they know, Kirby advanced on them, bring the axe down on a upward slash before swing it left and right, forcing them to fall back and continue to shoot at him, but they weren't even getting close to a scratch.

"Agh! What is with this guy?!" Blitzø shouted as he continued to fire at Kirby, who was sprinting at him with the axe in hand, bullets flying over his "head". The pink one then jumped and flipped with the axe spin dashing around him, managing to cut the gun the imp helped in half in his hands. This caused Blitzø to stagger and lose his balance, his back hitting the wall against a balance.

Millie ran up and aimed the gun she had at Kirby while saying "I got him, Boss!"

But she wasn't expecting Kirby to turn suddenly and throw the axe at her, managing to get the rifle chopped in half.

"Nevermind!"

Kirby merely seemed to giggle, but Blitzø was not the least bit amused.

"Goddamn walking soccer ball!!!" And then, he kicked Kirby from behind and sent him up into the air. The helmet fell from his head and his axe ability was dropped. The Pink One found himself landing on top of wrecked van. All the while, Loona was still standing by with her phone in hand.

"You know, you're welcomed to help out, Loona!" Moxxie shouted.

"Oh, no. You guys are doing just fine." But then, Kirby got curious about the device in her hands and couldn't help but inhale her phone as well. "HEY!!!" Now furiously, Loona brandished her claws and climbed up the van while Kirby quickly jumped off and "pewed" the phone back out at her. It missed, but she saw her phone rocket into the sky before turning to nothing. "I JUST GOT THAT DAMN THING!"

Growling, she lunges at Kirby, trying to rip him apart as one of her claws were embedded into the ground with one of her attacks. Kirby was able to inhale the debris and "pewed" it back, managing to hit Loona directly with a three-starred blast.

"LOONEY!" Blitzø yelled. "That's it! You're finished!" And that's when he pulled a rocket launcher out of nowhere, and fired at Kirby.

And you could guess what happened after that. An explosion rising above the buildings of Imp City. And yet, when the smoke cleared, the place the fight was happening was now covered in soot, same with the I.M.P Crew…yet, Kirby remained unscathed?

What can he say? His inhaling and "pewing" abilities are without equal. He just sent it right back from where it came from.

Blitzø, who now looked like he was just burnt to a crisp, with wide eyes and still holding the now wrecked rocket launcher, coughs up a bit of smoke before falling over. Moxxie, Millie and Loona were all on the ground, having been thrown away from the blast. But at least the imp couple had enough strength to crawl up to each other and see all the destruction that's been caused…as well as the one they were trying to kill still standing as if nothing even happened.

Kirby smiled at them, and they honestly began to feel fear. His eyes stared into their souls and that smile was one of amusement, joy, as if he was having fun with everything that's happened. And that was starting to terrify them.

Crawling up to their downed boss, same with Loona, they shake him awake and get him to see that Kirby was still there. Now, even Blitzø and Loona were starting to feel scared.

"Uh…sir? What do we do now?" Moxxie managed let out.

Blitzø was at a lost. Nothing they did worked and this little pink ball of happiness was able to kick their asses with sucking up their weapons and turning them on them.

Speaking of weapons, Kirby was standing in front of their wrecked van. An uzi was sticking out of the edge until it slid and fell out, landing in Kirby's stubby hands. And as history repeats itself, Kirby was barely able to handle the gun as it fires frantically and around the I.M.P. Crew as bullet holes captured their outline behind them. Now Blitzø had every good reason to be terrified.

"Uh…run away?"

Now that was something they could all agree on at the moment.

"RUN AWAAAAYYYY!!!!" They all yelled out, getting back on their feet and made a break for it, leaving a confused Kirby behind.

But, curious about what all that was about, he decided to go after them. The rest is history after that.

Hell would get a whole lot more interesting with the Pink One in it…
