Planet Popstar
In a galaxy far away lies a a star shaped planet called Planet Popstar, it's a beautiful planet rich in natural resources, and it's inhabitants are cute, cuddly, and adorable creatures living in a peaceful, carefree lives. Yet ironically Planet Popstar have been invaded by nightmarish otherworldly forces time and time again, with the latest one from a cult that worshipped a malevolent deity, but with the efforts of Popstar's heroes and villains the cult is finally defeated and peace has finally returned... At least for a while.
Planet Popstar - Dedede's Castle
Dedede's Castle, a castle located in Dream Land, home to the ruler of Dream Land King Dedede, although honestly speaking despite having an army of Waddle Dees at his back and call, his King status seems to be a mere title without actual political power, it's residents often doesn't follow Dedede's rules, but his time he might try to do something a leader does. Building relationships with another country.
"So you're aiming to form a diplomatic relations with Floralia your majesty ?" A small round creature with stubby arms, light orange feet, and mouthless face with red colored body wearing a blue bandana asking the blue penguin wearing red robe sitting on the throne.
"Yes Bandana Dee ! I think it's about time I do what any Kings supposed to do, as peaceful this planet is we've been under attack by otherworldly forces a lot of time now and we need to bolster our strength, and since Taranza did lend us a hand during the Jambastion Cult incident, this way we can show our gratitude for helping us." Said the penguin.
"So you already forgive him for kidnapping and brainwashing you then King Dedede ?" Asked Bandana Dee.
"Yes, I try not to carry grudges, besides he did turned against his queen to save us, that's not an easy decision to make even though she did try to kill him and already beyond help." Said the king.
"Okay, I will go to Floralia and send this message to Taranza." Bandana Dee agreed with the king's proposal.
Bandana Dee take the air star machine the dark star to fly to Floralia to deliver King Dedede's message to Taranza, who's acting as a regent after the defeat of Queen Sectonia.
Planet Popstar - Amusement Park
In the town of located in Dream Land lies a huge amusement park, created by an alien sorcerer named Magolor, to make amends for his past wrongdoing, in here he works as the owner of the amusement park, maintaining the place and also take part in attractions. And now a pink puffball with stubby arms and red colored feet with blue eyes walked around enjoying the attractions. A creature with blue suit with detached arms wearing a white cake with yellow trimmings approached him.
"Ah Kirby ! So glad you can make it." Said the creature.
"I'm glad to be here too Magolor, after our last battle I just need a breather, oh and thanks for your help coming with us during the Jambastion Cult attack." Said Kirby.
"Your welcome, after all friends got to help each other out right." Said Magolor cheerfully. "By the way are you coming here alone ?"
"I tried to bring King Dedede and Meta Knight here but King Dedede's is busy right now, but he'll come later and Meta Knight not good with crowded places, and I also tried to bring Ribbon and Adeleine but they're back home to Ripple Star, Gooey and Rick, Kine, Coo are traveling right now so yeah I'm going alone right now."
"I see well let's enjoy the attractions together then." Magolor dragged Kirby around the park and enjoying the attractions the amusement park have to offer, the two of them tried all the attractions until they become tired.
"Uuh I'm tired, we really took part in nearly everything." Said Kirby exhausted from the rides.
"I was thinking of expanding the park and add a few more attractions, what do you think Kirby ?" Asked Magolor.
"Okay I would like that, I wish for the residence in Dream Land to have a good time, hopefully there's nothing bad happening ever again." Said Kirby.
Soon after King Dedede arrived at the amusement park, trying to take a break from his kingly duty that he rarely does.
"Well sorting out that cult mess sure is a lot of work, I'm just gonna enjoy myself in this amusement park, now where's Kirby ? This is all his idea suggesting this in the first place." Said Dedede looking for Kirby. "Oh there he is, sitting by that umbrella table."
"Ok Kirby I'm here, hmm ? Why do you look exhausted ? Did you go on a ride without me ?" Asked Dedede.
"Don't get upset with him, I'm the one who dragged Kirby into it." Magolor apologized to Dedede.
"Nah it's fine, I'll just grab some lunch instead, just eating is very relaxing to me anyway." Said King Dedede walked to the food stall to get some lunch.
Soon after an unknown ship can be seen in the sky flying downwards as if it's falling from the sky, behind it a huge ship seen flying downwards too, the huge ship seems to be heavily armed with cannons, and having a bat like wings, and a mask in the front, a mask which is very familiar for the residents of Dream Land. The small ship continues flying downwards until it crash landed to the amusement park, but fortunately the damages to the ship aren't heavy.
"What is that !?" Magolor shocked at the sight of the ship that landed in his amusement park. The same goes for the entire staff and customers of the park.
King Dedede ordered the staff to evacuate the customers and then he rushed to the site of the landing which is right in front of Kirby and Magolor.
"What is this, and is that the Halberd ? Did Meta Knight shoot down this ship ?" King Dedede confused at the situation.
And then a figure fly down from the masked ship. He looks similar to Kirby except instead of pink he's dark blue in color, he wore a mask that covered his face but shows his yellow eyes, he wore a purple cape that can be transformed into a bat like wings. He fly down until he landed in the amusement park. Looking at this King Dedede confront Meta Knight about this.
"Meta Knight did you shoot down this ship ?" Asked King Dedede.
"I told them to stop and identify themself but they resist, and besides we've been under attack by outside forces far too many times we can't be too careful." Justified Meta Knight.
"Meta Knight is right in this case, that's a space pirate ship." Explained Magolor.
"Space Pirates ! Wait how do you know that Magolor ?" Asked King Dedede.
"Oh please, I've been traveling far and wide before I came here, this ship for example belongs to space pirates from planet Zebes." Magolor bragged of his knowledge and experience.
"We may be in for a fight, get ready Kirby... Kirby ? Hey what are you doing !? Don't stand too close to that ship !" Magolor panicked because Kirby already standing near the pirate ship.
The ship door opened and a bunch of figures coming out from the ship, it's a tall bipedal creature with purple and green skin resembling a cross between insect and bird and having pincers as hands. The creature grabbed Kirby with his pincers and started threatening to kill him.
"Nobody moves or this pink puffball gets it ! We demand an information an you better tell us !" Demanded the space pirate. "According to our research there's a comet in this part of galaxy that can grant a wish, and I want all of you to tell us the details !"
"Hah ! Look at these pathetic creatures, we faced creatures more scary looking than this, maybe we should resort to take over this planet, it will be easy." Said the other space pirate.
"Wish granting comet ? He might be talking about Galactic Nova." Whispered Dedede.
"How did they know about it ? What kind of research did they do ?" Asked Magolor.
"I don't know but we're not gonna reveal the existence of something so powerful to the space pirates." Said Meta Knight.
"Hey what are the three of you whispering over there, you better give us an answer or this pink puffball dies !" Again threathened the space pirate.
"If anything I feel sorry for you, I mean you took the wrong person to be your hostage." Said Meta Knight.
"Are you mocking me !? Fine I'll show you this isn't an empty threat !" The space pirate readied his energy blast and aimed it at Kirby. He fires the energy blast but as the space pirates didn't know anything about Planet Popstar inhabitants especially their hero Kirby he's surprised that Kirby actually eat his energy blast. A jester hat appeared on Kirby's head, apparently the energy blast gave Kirby the Beam copy ability.
"What ! You ate my energy blast !" The space pirate panicked and accidentally dropped Kirby.
With the beam ability Kirby come equipped with a staff that can fire energy beams and energy blast, he shoot an energy blast at the space pirate. Hurting the pirate that grabbed him, the other space pirates enraged by this act of defiance attempt to attack Kirby, they ready their energy blast from their pincers but Kirby's friends come to the rescue. Meta Knight fly and unleash a multiple rapid slashes with his sword the Galaxia at the space pirate, causing him to bleed and injured. King Dedede jumped and hit one of the space pirates head with his hammer, knocking him unconscious. The other space pirates fire their energy blast without charging because they can't underestimate their enemy anymore, they shoot a continuous barrage of energy blast towards the Popstar natives , but before the blast can hit any of them Magolor used his magic to create a mini black hole, absorbing all their energy blast.
"Everyone retreat ! Let's get out of here !" Ordered the panicking space pirate.
The space pirates retreated back to their ship and started to flee from the amusement park. They forced the ship to fly at high speed, making it harder to chased even with the Halberd.
"This is bad, their appearance is not scary but who would've thought they have such power, who would've known this backwater planet host a lot of powerful creatures." Said the space pirate in disbelief.
Because of the damage the pirate ship can't fly far, they saw an abandoned castle in the middle of the sky and decided to head there to hide.
Dark Castle
"We'll be safe here, we need to devise a plan to reach our goal." Said the space pirate
"We we're so close and now this happened ! This is all thanks to that accursed Samus we reduced to mere remnants, and know we're running around the Galaxy, listening to no sense and fairy tales which may not even true ! Seriously, a wish granting comet !? There's no way something like that truly exist ! Rant the other space pirate.
"Oh, I assure you that wish granting comet is completely real."
An ominous voice can be heard deeper in the castle, sending shivers to the space pirates, realizing they're not alone in the dark abandoned castle, a figure approach the space pirate from the shadows, it was a purple waddling head wearing a jester hat, a red bow, and brown shoes.
"Greetings dear guest, my name is Marx, so you want to know about the wish granting comet do you ? Well I have the answers you seek." Marx willingly offered the space pirates his assistance.
"Then you better tell us ! If you know what's good for you !" Threathened the space pirate aiming his pincers at Marx.
"Oh dear, looks like I got some really rude guest here, maybe someone needs to be disciplined." Said Marx in a calm manner and with a psychotic smile in his face
The space pirates shoot energy blast towards Marx, but not learning from their mistakes they made a serious mistake underestimating Marx. Marx spread out his colorful bat like wings and flies to avoid their attacks, he shoots a barrage of electric arrows at the space pirates, electrocuting them in the process, trying to get up, Marx quickly attacks them using his wind cutter attack showing no mercy towards his opponent, injuring them even further. Unable to fight the space pirates surrendered to Marx.
"Okay, stop we surrender, no more of this." Pleaded the pirate leader.
"Hmph it's about time you learn your place, now if you want your goals fulfilled this is what we're gonna do, first I will be taking charge of this operation, we'll start by fixing your ship, any parts we can use to fix the ship ?" Asked Marx.
"Yes, we brought a lot of spare parts to fix our ship in case something like this happened." Answered the space pirate.
"Then get to it !" Marx ordered the space pirates.
Perfect, this space pirates seems really desperate for some reason, I can use that for my advantage, once they activate the fountain of dreams on other planets, I'm gonna wish for even more power to get my revenge on Kirby. Now that those Jambastion Cult have been defeated nothing stands in my way for complete world domination. Marx thought to himself.
Under Marx's instructions the space pirates finally managed to fix their ship and fly to their destinations, the Seven planets that hosts the fountain of dreams, with two days passed the space pirates managed to activate all of them, all it's left is just the one on Dream Land.
Planet Popstar - Dream Land
"Excellent work, now the last one should be over here." Marx and the space pirates returned to Planet Popstar and headed for the Fountain of Dreams in Dream Land.
The space pirates activate the last fountain and a beam of light shoots to the sky, with all the fountains active it's just a matter of time until another Galactic Nova arrived, of course this acts hasn't gone unnoticed by the residents of Dream Land.
"Oh I see, so Taranza agreed to the meeting then, excellent ! Now we'll just.. Huh what's that !?" Said King Dedede's shocked at the sight of the pillar of light. "Bandana Dee watch over the castle for me, I've got a bad feeling about this."
"So, the fountain of dreams is active once again then, I knew I should've keep on chasing those pirates." Meta Knight flies to the direction of the light.
This light is just like that time." Kirby summon his warp star and flies to the direction of the light.
Soon after the three of them reached the fountain of dreams roughly at the same time. And when they enter the place they saw Marx alongside the space pirates waiting for them.
"Marx ! So this is your doing !" Yelled Meta Knight.
"But why ? You helped us during the Jambastion Cult incident." Kirby reminded Marx when they team up against the Jambastion Cult.
"I only helped you because I wanted to be the only powerful ones around here, but that psycho cult is getting in my way, that's my only reason teaming up with you." Explained Marx, and then he ordered the space pirates to attack the three of them.
The space pirates shoot their energy blast, but Kirby ate one of them turning him into beam Kirby, Meta Knight fly forward blocking the energy blast with his sword, while King Dedede's does the same but with his hammer. Meta Knight unleash multiple stabs towards the space pirates, and Kirby used his want to fire powerful blast at the pirates hurting some of them, and King Dedede use his spinning hammer technique to mow down several pirates at once, and Meta Knight used his Mach Tornado technique, he spins around with his sword slicing the space pirates that got caught up in it, for the finishing blow Kirby charged his want and fire a large beam towards the space pirates, blowing them across the place and incapacitating them. All that's left is just Marx.
"Your army is defeated Marx, I suggest you give up." Ordered King Dedede.
"Give up ? Now why would I do that now that Galactic Nova has finally arrived." Marx and everyone look at the sky and a mechanical yellow comet with a cat like face appeared in the skies of Planet Popstar. Marx seize the opportunity and immediately flies to Nova's direction.
Kirby followed him using the warp star wanting to stop Marx from making a wish.
"So you're the ones that summons me, very well what is your wish ?" Asked the comet.
"Okay my wish is-," before Marx can say anything Kirby managed to kick him away from the comet.
"Marx please stop this, there's no reason for you to do this anymore, you've got the power you want, so what else is there ?" Kirby really wished for Marx to stop and see the error of his ways.
But before Marx can fight back the space around Planet Popstar is getting distorted, the distortions kept on getting stronger for a few minutes, and then both Kirby, Marx, and Nova seemingly disappeared in a spacetime rift.
This chapter is dedicated to our beloved pink puffball Kirby, now when I said about Marx, Taranza, and Magolor helping Kirby during the events of star allies, I'm referencing their dream friend and playable status, which means that all of Kirby's friends and enemies join forces with him to defeat the Jambastion Cult.
Now, I'm excited with Joker DLC yesterday, but since the start of this fic I planned not to add any DLC characters, but after joker's trailer I've become unsure whether to include him or not, not to mention there's still 4 others left, depending on the character I really don't want to retcon my fics.
The opening dialogue said heroes and villains referencing Marx, Dark Meta Knight, and Susie whose technically still evil, with Marx have an ulterior motive, DMK only want the power of Jamba heart for himself, and Susie still attempt to mechanize organic lifeforms and planets.
Of course you might think the space pirates are very weak, whenever they're introduced but seriously, they're just mooks compared to the likes of Samus, CF, Fox, Falco, Kirby and co. Doesn't help that they're underestimate their opponents which caused their downfall, another reason is because Samus crippled their leadership, the space pirates already no longer the threat they once were, losing a lot of resources, power, influence, and weaponry in the process, reducing the space pirates to be a mere shell of their former selves or in other words a mere remnants.
And if you're asking what Dark Castle is, it used to be Dark Matter residence, but after Dark Matter's defeat the castle is abandoned and that's where Marx reside after the events of star allies in this fic.
