Returning... Kirby Fanfic (OLD)

~Part 15~

~Meta Knight's POV~

Morning came sooner than expected. Kirby woke up suddenly, and appeared extremely disturbed about something, but kept insisting everything was fine and he was just hungry... perhaps he probably is just hungry. He always is. He fell asleep afterwards.

My mind went back to what happened yesterday. Flame wants the Forever Sword, and also wants to take over Popstar, and also intends for something else... but I am not sure of it yet.

Although Star is powerful, she sometimes doesn't know how powerful she is. And when dealing with Flame... she hasn't seen nor known what he had done to the Star Warriors, which is why I was reluctant in leaving when she asked.

Star probably thought very lowly of me when I embraced her like that. I cannot become close to anyone. Nor the other way around. People always get in danger if they are close to me.

"WHAT D'YA MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I IS?" Ay... the King honestly doesn't know when to not interrupt people when they are thinking!

I reach the Throne Room, and the King was about to scream again, but realised it was 'only' me. "Phew. I thought there were more of these lot. They don't know me! Can you believe this?!" he asks, waving over to some people.

"Your majesty?! It's five in the morning! You woke up half the castle!" Galacta storms over to the King, ignoring the fact there are others present. "So?" "There are children sleeping in the castle." "Meh, only Bandana and Kirby." "Listen, King DDD. I promise you Kirby will throw a fit, and though Bandana can't talk, I will gladly unleash his anger for him. We value our rest, unlike you. What are you doing up at this time?!" "Questioning these people because they don't know me! Impossible!" 

"Well, guess what?! I didn't know who you were, Kirby didn't, Star didn't, so what do you expect from people who have never been here before?" "I am one of the main four characters-" "King DDD. You are not doing your duties properly if you aren't even paying attention to what you're supposed to be doing." I interrupt their pointless argument.

"HEY-Oh." the King looks sheepish. "Anyway! What were you guys going on about? Weird spaceship problems and galaxy?" he asks, and one of the 'people' reply, "-_-. We were hoping to speak to Kirby." "Sure! KIRBY GET UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" the King screams. 

Galacta shakes her head, "Honestly, King for years and not even an ounce of common sense..." she is about to leave, when Star comes in with Kirby, who looks annoyed. 

"Poya! King DDD I told you to shush if you wanna be awake right now! I'm still so tired..." he yawns and almost falls asleep leaning on Star before she gently helps him stand upright. Kirby is a child. 

"Whatever, these people wanna talk to you." the King makes a smug face when Kirby grumbles about something and then sits. "What is it, poyo? If it's a monster, just tell it to go away." "Unfortunately, Kirby, it won't be that simple. These monsters are under order and won't simply 'go away' if we ask it to." "POY?! Sir Arthur?! What?!" Kirby yells, and Star nudges him to quieten down. 

"Told ya he'd be surprised. But Sir Arthur really likes to scare the little guy." "WAIT. How do you know Kirby and not me?" "Perhaps we should let them talk and not shout like we're lunatics?" Galacta suggested, pushing the King along and out of the room. 

"No, Galacta Knight. It would be best for the King of Dreamland to be present." Sir Arthur says, and the King looks smug about being wanted and returns to his throne. 

"There is a very large threat one the move. Monsters have being appearing in various parts of the galaxy, searching for someone. We do not know who is behind the scheme, nor who they're targeting, but people are beginning to fear this new rise of evil." Sir Dragato explains, and Kirby asks, "How could there be something wrong and we don't know?"
