Wait, a different dimension?
How'd that happen? |•

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards OST - Dedede's Castle
- ★ ————————————————
Sunday, 5:32 PM. The same Sunday the rifts opened across Musutafu, the same Sunday Class 1-A met Kirby and Meta Knight.
How strange can today get, really?
Meta Knight and Kirby, mainly Meta Knight because he's the one capable of speech out of the two of them, were questioned about the situation by authorities.
They now knows that the pear-shaped creatures that loiter the city are called Waddle Dees, and that the one-eyed creatures are Waddle doos. They were also told about someone else that could possibly have fallen victim to a dimensional rift; a blue penguin called King Dedede with a robe, a cap and a hammer.
U.A., Height's Alliance. In Class 1-A's common room, most of the teenagers are eating dinner at either the tables or the couches. The door is fixed, as someone came to replace the door this noon. It was a surprisingly quick replacement.
The TV flashes with the evening news. A few clips of a fat, robed blue penguin wreaking havoc on some familiar areas, swinging its hammer with fiery tealish green eyes.
'A blue penguin figure wielding a hammer was seen rampaging in Mufutafu city with seemingly no signs of stopping. Heroes are trying to find this penguin and put it's outrage to a stop, but it proves to be a daunting task.'
"Is this another thing that came from a dimensional rift...?" Izuku asks no one in particular.

Shota and the authorities were talking in a different room while the guards were on break.
Kirby, upon hearing about King Dedede from the TV in the police station's lobby that he didn't see, escaped the building to set off and find Dedede himself. Meta Knight had to follow because Kirby didn't seem to listen to his calls.
The two were getting looks of all sorts; disgusted, confused, intrigued, adoring. Some children were pointing at them, but their parents only made them walk away and divert the children's attention elsewhere. Some people were pulling out small rectangular devices.
Kirby looks around, taking in all the different citizens, objects, signs he can't read, giant glowing things on buildings he doesn't understand either. Meta Knight isn't any different, glancing around but also keeping Kirby from getting sidetracked.
A loud crash and an explosion is heard from afar, capturing everyone's attention. Including Kirby's and Meta Knight's. There's clearly something wrong, so they rush over to where the sounds came from.
Smoke rises from behind a couple of buildings, marking where the explosion might have happened. The sound of a few crashes and clangs followed by shrill screams and cries come from the same direction.
Would the two even be able to make it in time before their target escapes again? It's difficult, considering that they don't even know where the shortest route is, but it's certainly not impossible.
They trudge past the civilians and obstacles, taking turns they believe are taking them closer to where they want to be.
After several turns and moments of confusion and frustration, a roar of a certain king is heard.
In the center of a road, there King Dedede is, battling someone--a Hero-- with the mighty pounds and strikes of his hammer. There's something wrong-- Dedede's eyes are supposed to be blue, right? So why aren't they?
The Hero struggles against Dedede, his attempts at defending himself going fruitless. He finds himself backed into a corner, head spinning, large bruises and some scrapes scattered around his figure, body aching with Quirk overuse and left vulnerable to the King and his hammer.
Before King Dedede could swing his hammer downwards and knock the Hero unconscious, Meta Knight swoops between the Hero and King Dedede, parrying the latter's hammer with Galaxia.
The Hero weakly wheezes, "Who...? I thought I evacuated everyone..." He coughs.
"In my opinion--no offense--I think you should be the one evacuating, sir." Meta Knight grunts as he pushes back against the hammer. Kirby inhales a nearby unsuspecting Waddle Dee and spits it in Dedede's direction, the star hitting the latter's back and redirecting his attention to Kirby.
