Kirby: Escape from the Mirror World!

24

"I wish to destroy the Dimension Stone to return everyone back to normal!" Kirby shouted with all of his might.

The Dimension Mirror started glowing brightly. It was so bright that Kirby couldn't even open his eyes. Kirby shielded his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he gasped.

Everyone was normal again. The mirror world residents all rubbed the back of their heads, as if waking up from a nightmare.

They quickly got up and looked around. Then the people realized what happened and jumped up. They quickly thanked Kirby and his friends and ran away.

Kirby stared at the ground. 

The Dimension Stone had rolled out of Dark Meta Knight's cape and shattered like glass. Kirby stared at it.

He didn't feel dizzy. His head didn't ache. His thoughts didn't numb. He was just normal, like looking at an ordinary rock.

"I... I actually broke it..." Kirby stammered.

"Wow." Shadow Kirby said.

Meta Knight nodded. "The Dimension Mirror really is powerful. It can grant every wish desired. But now I must make my wish."

He paused. Meta Knight looked at them. "What should I do to defeat my reflection?"

Meta Knight then had an idea. "I can banish Dark Meta Knight to another dimension."

The mirror glowed. 

Suddenly, the air around them ripped and a star-shaped dimensional rift opened up. It was beautiful. The sky behind the rift was purple and pink. 

The rift started to suck in air and Dark Meta Knight whisked in.

Dark Meta Knight was gone.

Kirby nodded. "Wow! Now we can take a break for a moment, right." He sat down. "Yeah, Meta Knight. Here's Galaxia." He took the Galaxia and returned it to Meta Knight.

Shadow Kirby plopped down. "Ok. Haven't had a break for days!" Then Shadow Kirbylooked at Daroach.

"How did you come back, anyways?" He asked curiously.

Daroach turned his head from the stone. "Huh?"

"I'm asking how you broke free from the curse." Shadow Kirby repeated.

"Ah," Daroach nodded.

"I saw Dark Meta Knight running, then something struck my mind. I remembered something. I thought of the people I love, and my best friends. I had to break free to save you guys. Then, the strings just snapped and broke. Then I was energized. I was finally free from the puppet magic, so I teleported to Kirby." He explained.

"I don't get it." Shadow Kirby said.

"I do not get it either, but I am guessing that you remembered the things you love and the curse broke free, so the way to break the strings was to think of the things that you love." Meta Knight said slowly.

Shadow Kirby nodded, not actually listening to Meta Knight.

Kirby took hold of the Dimension Mirror and took it.

"Shadow. Make your wish."

"Okie dokie. Dimension Mirror. I wanna go home with my friends!"

The mirror didn't glow. It dimmed instead, and it blurred, like a foggy window. Shadow Kirby could not see anything. Not even his reflection. 

"Why isn't it working?" Meta Knight wondered aloud.

"That's it!" He said.

"Shadow Kirby, you have already made your wish."

"Huh?"

Shadow Kirby thought deeply.

Shadow Kirby remembered. 

Help me... Shadow Kirby whimpered. He fell off the steep cliff, expecting no response. Shadow Kirby's eyes closed. But before everything blackened, something shone brightly. A brilliant gold. The Dimension Mirror, waiting under him, was shining. Its surface turned into a portal, pulling the unconscious Shadow Kirby into it. Then, Shadow Kirby fell into a continent in Planet Popstar called Dream Land, nicknamed the world of peace.

Back to present...

"Now how do we go back?" Shadow Kirby asked.

Daroach shouted, "I didn't wish yet!"

 But before he could get hold of the mirror, Shadow Dedede knocked it out and shattered the mirror.

The small pieces fell to the ground and lost its light.

Kirby said, "I thought we returned the residents to normal!"

"Shadow Dedede was evil from the beginning. We can't return him to normal." Shadow Kirby said.

Then they started fighting Shadow Dedede.

It was a hard battle.

They had to avoid his energy balls and hammer strikes.

But at the end, they outwitted Shadow Dedede.

"Now how do we go back?" Shadow Kirby said.
