the magical star rod

mountain of wisdom

Bandana dee woke up with a massive headache and blurry vision "owww... My head... What's going on? Why did his majesty do that." The lonely waddle dee questioned. "I know he is a bit of a hothead but that was ridiculous".

Bd sits against the tree that he fell off of and wondered what his next plan of action was. He looked up to see that this tree was no ordinary tree, it had a face!

"Gyah! Oh my nova! I-i'm sorry mister, um... What's your name?" The dee questioned.

"You have been asleep for days young one" the tree said in a simple yet stern voice. "I am yggy woods, guardian of these mountains... This island... This world!"

"Ok back up, you're what? How even... You just look like whispy woods but older!" Bandana said with an unsure look on his face. The tree was surprised to hear that name.

"Whispy woods? Ah! You know my cousin?" The tree asked with glee.

"Y-your cousin?"

"Yes yes! Our seeds were left by the same tree, however, I have not spoken with him since the countries split thousands of years ago... Believe it or not all islands were once connected!"

"That's crazy! But what happened?" Bd questioned. The old tree looked to the side and sighed as one of his roots pulled something out of the ground and showed bandana dee, it was a purple leaf.

"What's this? Looks like a purple leaf"

"That young one is no ordinary leaf, it is a symbol of a tragedy long ago... Sit as I must explain it to you if you wish to defeat necrodeus."

"Wait... Necrodeus? How do you know about him? Are you guys in kahoots!?" Bandana dee questioned, pointing his spear towards the tree.

"I saw... Everything. All the tragedy, the possesion, the death. One of the many joys of living for so long is losing everything you care for many times." Bandana dee looked at yggy woods in dismay.

"W-what happened yggy?"

"It all started with darkness in the sky, hundreds of years ago, a being known as dark matter attacked popstar, attempting to steal the light. Dreamland's elders created a weapon to deal with the devils."

"The rainbow sword!" Bandana dee exclaimed "that's what it does!"

"Yes but it proved to be a red harring, it only worked when one with true strength and willpower rivaling that of dark matter wielded the sword... Then

Along came kirby"

Bandana dee was confused, he knew kirby for awhile but never took him as particularly powerful, usually it was his weapons who did all the talking.

"So let me get this straight... Kirby is dark matter?"

"No"

"Is he light matter?"

"No"

"Ok then what is kirby?"

"Another piece of the puzzle young one!" Bandana dee looked fed up at this point.

"You're really losing me here yggy woods! Try being a little less cryptic please." Bandana dee begged.

"All you must know is that kirby isn't as far as you think... As dedede is farther."

"...really? I said less cryptic!" Bandana dee said in anger.

"We ancients are not fluent in current forms of speech, maybe be greatful I am helping you at all" the tree scoffs.

"Ok jeez, well what can I do to stop this?" Bd questioned.

"You must train bandana dee, you are weak, very weak." The tree latched onto bd's spear with it's roots trying to take it.

"H-hey! What are you doing!?" The tree took it out of his hands with ease.

"This will not do, if you are to save the ones you love you must be ready."

"I will be ready! Once I get the rainbow sword I will storm necro nebula and kill necrodeus!"

"A powerful weapon means nothing if the holder cannot wield it properly. There is no choice here... You must train" yggy said firmly.

"Ngh, fine" bandana dee picked up his spear and got into a fighting stance "let's do this!".
