Returning... Kirby Fanfic (OLD)

~Present~

~Dreamland~

It was a clear, sunny day in Dreamland, and everyone's favourite cheerful puffball was training with a snorting knight.

"Kirby, you can't just close your eyes, how the heck do you suppose you'll see your opponent?" Galacta laughed, and Kirby puffed up, opening his eyes slightly, before letting out his breath and falling, just after missing a sword beam that the older warrior sent towards him. The poor puffball fell on his face and then got up.

He murmured something, and Galacta sighed, "I know... but you've got to try! The only way for you to learn is to work harder! When you were getting taught by her, she just had something that the rest of us couldn't do. And that's being soft."

"If I recall, she wasn't 'soft' she just wasn't as strict as you. Plus, she wasn't focused on being the strongest warrior in the galaxy." "No one asked you." "Poy! Galacta, you need to be nice!" Kirby said, putting his sword on the floor.

"I AM VERY NICE!" Galacta said, and Kirby gave her a look that asked, 'rlly?' "Alright, you've made your points. Now, try one more t-" "I'M HUNGRY!" Kirby announced, making Galacta wince, "How do you keep up with him?!" she exclaimed, watching as Kirby pulled out a basket of apples from behind a tree.

"If you are patient, you can keep up with anyone." "Argh..." Galacta said, sitting on the floor out of boredom. After Kirby finished his apples, he screamed, "What is it?!" Galacta asked, whilst Meta Knight expected it to be something ridiculous, like Kirby's apples were finished.

"MARX!" "Marx?!" "Who's Marx?" Galacta asked, and Kirby smacked his face, "GALACTA POYA! MARX IS EVIL DEMON WHO WANTS TO RULE POPSTAR AND BEYONDS!" "Beyond." "DON'T CORRECT ME DEMON! AND NOW YOU HAVE A FRIEND!" Kirby yelled hysterically.

(A/N: Who else is imagining Kirby having an adorable meltdown? I know I am... 🤗🤗🤗so cute.)

"I'm not here to take over the world. I wanna be friends!" Marx declared, and Kirby looked at him, with a fierce look, "Okay!" he then smiled, petting Marx's head, which made Marx angry, "DON'T TOUCH MY HEAD!!! Bye friend, I'm just gonna teach Kirby a lesson!" he said, bouncing after the laughing puffball who was thinking this was a game.

"How convenient... I have literally no idea where I am, and the only person who is... 'trustable' has left me here." Star Knight narrowed her eyes at the maniac who was now laughing strangely as he chased Kirby, who realised that Marx meant business!

"Well, Marx tried to take over the entire galaxy. Why is it always you who makes friends with the wrong people?" "I have a heart. You do not." "Not funny." "Of course it isn't, it is not encouraging you, is it?" Star Knight replied, almost yelling her head off when she received a tight hug.

After Galacta let go, she asked, "How did you-" "Get out of the crystal? Kirby and Meta Knight can explain that!" she said triumphantly as Kirby sweat dropped. "Uh... I was saving the universe as usual, poyo, and then yeah." "So Galacta was trying to take over the universe as well, now?" Star Knight looked at Galacta, who froze, "WHAT?! No! Was I? I don't even remember!" Galacta glared at Kirby, who smiled, and then ran away from Marx, who was trying to eat him... ?_?

"Anyway, how did you get out of your prison?" "The orb broke. It was quite queer, because around five minutes after Nightmare left, trying to persuade him to harm someone... the orb disappeared. I managed to escape, just barely. And now-" Star Knight was interrupted, "Ehehehe! You're going back to Nightmare's base! And this time you won't escape!" a Ninji had appeared!

"There is one thing I never understood about you monsters..." Star Knight said, with a tick mark, indicating she was clearly annoyed. "Huh, what's that? I thought we were really easy to understandable!" the Ninji turned to the others. "Yeah!" they chorused, and Star Knight stepped towards them, pulling out her sword, "If you don't want to end up here-" she put a gloved hand in the tip of the sword's blade, making the Ninjis' shiver. "Then I suggest you leave." she finished, and a couple of them ran away, making to escape.

"Hah! What's your sword gonna do? We've got stars and this thingy!" the Ninji laughed, turning invisible. Star Knight threw her sword forwards, and then the Ninji yelped, trying to break free from the blade which pinned him against a tree. "Please leave us alone. And if your 'Master' sends any more monsters, I promise you I will not have any patience left." 

"*Gulp* U-Uh-uh..." the Ninji said, and Star Knight took her sword and then the Ninji ran away with his friends. "Still intimidating?" Galacta looked at Star Knight, who's sword was refusing to sheath. "And your sword is still very... er..." "Refusing!" the sword declared proudly, making Star Knight give up, letting her sword go and play with Kirby.

"Anyway- HEY?!" Galacta whipped around haughtily, "ONLY-" "Poya, Galacta stop shouting!" Kirby whined, and then ran away again, Marx would not give up. "Argh- Only yesterday were you and Kirby saying I have to be 'nice'. And Kirby told me to be nice earlier! And neither of you said hello to Star Knight!"

"Well, yeah, poy, we meant nice as in you... talk nice!" "No. We meant it generally. Not a specific way." "Poya you did. I didn't." Kirby said, and then went up to Star Knight, who watched him look at her strangely.

"Wait. Who's this, poyo? I dunno who this is... is she evil?" he asked, and Galacta gasped, "I AM HER-" "Do not shout." "You guys are really annoying. I am her rival and I remember her. How can you n-" "He was extremely young, Galacta." Star Knight said, making Galacta look at her, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" "Very." "WHO IS THIS POYA?!" Kirby yelled, making them all look at him.

"What?" he questioned, and then Star Knight looked at him, laughing inside. "Kirby. Come here." she smiled as he looked at Galacta and Meta Knight uncertainly. "Kirby do as she asked." Meta Knight instructed, but Galacta was just being huffy. "Okay...?" Kirby stepped closer to Star Knight, who had lifted her mask a little.

Kirby knew that face anywhere, "P-Poy....?!" he gasped, and then when Star Knight nodded, her smile gentle like it had always been, he jumped into her arms, nuzzling her hard. "I-I thought you were gone forever! P-Poy, everybody else thought you and Galacta would never appear ever again!" he exclaimed, and Star Knight gave him a small nuzzle as well, "I know, I missed you all as well..." she murmured to him.

After Kirby was satisfied, and said sorry to Marx for petting his head, he asked, "How did you get new wings?" Marx froze, "THAT-IS... AVERYINTERESTINGQUESTIONWHICHICANNOTANSWER!" "Meaning, it was an awkward position." "Exactly!" Marx nodded towards Galacta, wishing he had hands to point.

"Aren't you going to say hello, poyo?" Kirby looked at Meta Knight strangely, and Star Knight smiled at the innocent puffball, "It's alright Kirby. I can tell much from looks." "Wait- why didn't you fly? I mean, you fell on your face, but how come you stopped flying? I saw you crash with Marx bouncing ahead of you." Galacta stifled some laughs.

Star Knight tensed, "Oh... erm... I just felt a bit tired...?" "T- Star, I know you well enough to know that something's wrong..." Galacta scanned the other female. "Her wings are broken..." Meta Knight said simply, and Galacta looked at him, "How did you know that?!" "If you think carefully, you will find out... Kirby!" Meta Knight turned to the small puffball who immediately edged away, "Poya... yeah?" "Go and get a hammer." "Why?" "Kirby, just... get a hammer, please." Star Knight almost burst out laughing when Galacta and Kirby looked at each other uncertainly.
