"Poyo, Lancee. (Hey, uh Lancer.)" Kirby still was dissapointed at Metias' death. "Poyo? (Can you come here to pick me up?)"

"Huh, Kirby? What is it, pal?"

Unfortunately, Kirby knew no one could understand him. He can't speak English, so he tried to get to the HQ himself."

"Hello? Kirby? Kirby?"

BEEP!

Kirby put his walkie talkie back in his helmet, and went on to find the Headquarters. But every building seemed so similar, each tower the same as the houses in the local area, and they were COMPLETLY different than what Kirby saw when he first entered this "Republic" world. They were all more... house-y than the rickity ones. One through one, Kirby quietly peeked through the windows to see if he was close. Nope, a family. Nu uh, two roommates. Wrong, a young man worrying about taxes. Kirby wondered why taxes existed here. Back home, a Waddle Dee could commit Tax Fraud all he wants, and he wouldn't even be fined.
Kirby checks another home: nothing but a dog. A jeep was leaving the house, and Kirby wondered what THAT was about? Kirby looked around for something to get in, and he saw a broken mirror nearby. He gobled it up and...

DING!

Kirby turned into Mirror Kirby! He covered his ability's cap with the helmet he got, and...

SLING!

Kirby phased through the wall! Unfortunately, he made too much noise, and a dog came to investigate.

"Bark! Bark! (Freeze! Who dares break into the Ipirais' home?!)" the dog said.

"Poyo... (Hey, do you know where the HQ is?)"

The dog seemed surprised. He was never able to communicate though his language, and finally, he found someone like him. The dog walked up to Kirby.

"Hrrmmm? Bark?! (Huh? Can you hear me?)" the Dog asked.

"Poyo? Poyo! (Hear? I CAN hear you!)" Kirby replied.

"Bark! Bark! Hrrmmmm... (I can't belive it! Finally, someone I can simply just talk to! But I don't think I wanna celebrate that long...)"

"Poyo? (Well what's wrong?)"

"Hrrmmm... (It's just that, one of my owners died today. Me and June heard about it just recently.)"

Kirby was starting to put the pieces together. Could this dog be owned by Metias, the very man that Kirby swore to avenge?

"Poyo? (Are you talking about Metias?)"

"Woof? (How... do you know about Metias?)"

"Poyo. Kni. (I've seen him die, pretty sure it was by this boy who threw a knife at him.)"

"Hrmmm... (Could you possibly be that new recruit that was taken to prove himself at the hospital?)"

"Poyo? (How did you not see my helmet this entire time?)"

"Bark! Woof. (It's too dark to see! I'll get the light.)" The dog carefully looked for a light, and found a lamp nearby. He ran over it to turn it on.

"Poyo! (Oh, I haven't asked you your name, what is it?)"

"Woof. Hrrmmmm. Hrmmm... (Ollie. Always enjoyed that name. I would never dare ask to change it...)"

"Poyo, Kirby! (Nice to meetcha Ollie, I'm Kirby!)"

"Bark! (That sounds like a nice name!)" Ollie turned on the lights, and all of a sudden Kirby could see a bunch of things. Like pictures of some girl and her brother, although Kirby couldn't quite understand the other pictures, the lamp didn't show enough light.

"Poyo? (Who's that on that picture?)" Kirby points at a framed picture near the door with his Mirror Ability's wand.

"Woof. Hrm. Hrmmm.... (Our parents. Something happend to them and- I don't wanna talk about it...)"

"Poyo... (Sorry to hear that...)"

"Hrmm... Woof. (It's ok, it's ok... say I don't know where you're from, though.)"

"Poyo, sta... (Well, it all started when...)" And Kirby explained everything. The demon's defeat, the note, the chat with Whispy and the animals, then being kidnapped, the mysterious voice, and even the portal. He then talked about Lancer and William, and speaking of that made Kirby a bit sad, so he paused for a second. Ollie looked at Kirby confused, then Kirby continued. The house he thought he had a connection to, then the greeting with Commander Jameson, and then...

Kirby didn't continue. Ollie understood that Kirby missed Metias, and he gave Kirby a hug.

"Hrmm, hrmmm... (It's ok, he's in a better place...)" Both of them swelled up with tears. They really missed Metias.

"Woof, hrmmm... (Well, at least I have June...)"

"*sniff* Poyo? (Who?)"

"Hrmm. Woof... (She's the last owner I have. Really much one of the only people who scored perfectly on the Trial...)"

"Huh, Tri? (Huh, Trial?)"

"Bark. Woof, bark. (Oh yeah, you're from a weird portal thing. The Trial is kinda like, predicting your future.)

"Surv? (So, like a survey?)"

"Bark, hrmm. (No, like a final exam.)"

"Whu? (So, why do people do this exam?)"

"Woof, bark! (I don't know if you know this yet, but it's to make sure we don't have any disfunctioning people in the Republic!)"

"Poyo!? (What!?)"

"Bark? Hrmmm... (You've heard of Day before, right? I heard he failed his trial, gone crazy, and became a master criminal.)"

Kirby then remember the strange boy from earlier. He looked like a "Day," and then he thought that HE might be the problem. Day murdered his new friend, and Kirby LOVES sweet revenge.
He went haywire one time just because his Strawberry Shortcake was stolen.

"Poyo, poyo... (I think I know where Day is...)" Kirby said, with a small evil grin. Ollie didn't take the hint, so he asked Kirby.

"Hrrmm? Woof?! (Really? Where?!)"

Kirby then heard someone shouting his name outside.

"Kirby! Kirby! Where are you, buddy?" It sounded like Lancer. Could he have came to comfort Kirby?

"Lancee!" Kirby said in excitement. "Poyo, Ol! Bacu! (Don't worry, Ollie! I'll come back!)"

"Bark! Woof- (Wait! Where are you-) But it was too late.

SLING!

Kirby quickly phased through the wall again.

"Hrmm... (Going...)"

Kirby, now out of the house, tried to find Lancer.

"Lancee! Lancee!"

Kirby heard a reply.

"Huh? Kirby? Is that you?"

Kirby quickly got around the corner, and bumped into Lancer.

"Lancee!" Kirby said in tears of happiness.

"Kirby!" Lancer replied back. Both of them hugged it out.

"I missed you, Kirby..." Lancer said.

"Poyo... (I missed you too...)" Kirby sobbed.

"Oh Kirby! Don't cry! Here, have a handkerchief..."

Kirby took the handkerchief, and wiped his tears off.

"You can keep it if you want!" Lancer told Kirby. Kirby then put the handkerchief under his helmet."

Lancer then became curious. "Where the heck were you man? I was cruising by with William for lunch and heard about a body near the hospital."

All of a sudden, it hit Kirby. The news about Metias' death had spread like wildfire. So did the news about the new soldier, which was Kirby. Unfortunately, it didn't specify that Kirby wasn't a... human like character. There was a screen nearby, which Kirby turned to.

𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂.

𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐁𝐘 𝐏𝐔𝐅𝐅𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋, 𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝟐𝟖

"Since you were this 'other dimension' alien, I spat out random information about you in order to keep you as a soldier. And that meant, uh, come a little closer?" Kirby got closer to Lancer, and he whispered:

"I may of lied a bit. I can get in trouble for this."

Kirby then held Lancer's hand.

"Poyo, poyo... (It's ok, no big deal...)"

"Well," said Lancer, "they moved the body to the HQ. Let's quickly go there, okay?"

"Su, poyo... (Sure, I need a way back.)"

The two got back to the truck. "Hiii! (Heya, William!)" Kirby said.

"Oh great," replied William, "the Marshmellow is back."

"Poyo! (Well that's not a great way to greet a friend!)" Kirby replied back. "Puff? (How's that gift I gave you?)"

"I mean, of course I kept it. I may not like you that much, but I love gifts like this. See?" William took the Sword Hat's puff out of a cabinent. It turns out, William put some decorations on it, trying to make the puff look like Kirby himself.

"Awwww!" Kirby said. "Poyo! (It's so cute!)"

"More compliments and I'll throw it out."

"Poyo, poyo. Lancee, Poyo! (Alright, alright, I respect you. Lancer, to the HQ!)"

"On it!" Lancer shouted, and some up-beat music here, but eh it's not like this will turn into a movie. The two series' won't have movies ever...


...right?
