Heroes of Dreamland, Book 3: The World of Nintendo (OLD)

Planet Popstar Has... Grown?

The Warship Nintendo, So Dubbed by the Non-Heroes, (even though the two Guys wanted to name it something pirate-y, but we don't care, we're the Non-Heroes, so we named it.) Anyway, we're currently sitting in the waters off the coast of the point of Dreamland.

Meta Knight groaned and awoke to feel someone pulling on his mask. Instantly, he leapt up and drew Galaxia, opening his eyes to see one of the smaller giants. This one had brown hair, large brown eyes, and glasses, and seemed to be a girl. Her eyes grew even wider as she jumped up from where she had been kneeling next to him and backed away several steps. They appeared to be just under the warship's deck, he could see sunlight streaming in from up a set of stairs just a few feet away.

"Easy there, Bluey. It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm just trying to see if you're hurt and need help. You hit the water really hard," she said in a soothing tone.

Looking at her in disbelief, he snorted, "Bluey?"

She stared at him. "Wow. Your voice is a lot deeper than I was expecting. Pinky is so high-pitched and cutesy, I thought you'd sound like him."

"Kirby," Meta Knight gasped. "What have you done with him? Where is he? Take me to him, you foul giant, or I will-"

"Easy, easy! Stop pointing that thing at me. And I'm not a giant, you're just small," the girl disagreed. "Anyway, I'm Rose. I'm from Pokémonland."

"I have never heard of such a place, 'Rose' from 'Pokémonland.' Where are you really from? And why do you plan to attack Dreamland? And who is the captain of this ship?" he demanded, standing right in front of her and pointing his sword up at her face. He didn't like that she was so much taller than him.

"I really am from Pokémonland. Look, if you'll promise to calm down and sheath that thing, I'll explain everything, okay, Bluey?" she offered.

"Stop calling me Bluey! I am Meta Knight!" he huffed at her.

"Meta Knight? Kirby and Meta Knight... sheesh. Star Warriors sure have interesting names," she murmured.

Glaring at her, Meta Knight sheathed his sword. "Very well, I will hear your explanation. As soon as you have showed me that the others are safe."

"Oh. Well, the other four guys with armor swam back to shore before we could help them. Pinky, or, um, Kirby, I guess; just basically jumped on board himself. The other Waddle Dee with the sailor's hat was the only one other than you that was still unconscious when we got to you," she explained, still trying to sound soothing. She had knelt down again so that she was closer to his size. He was almost just like a Pokémon, a bit less than half as tall as her. But way cooler than any Pokémon, what with his sword and the awesome mask and cloak, and the fact that he could talk.

"I am the only one that fainted other than Sailor Dee? Just lovely," he sighed.

"Oh, all the others fainted, too. You just stayed out longer than any of the others. Sailor Dee, right? Well, he's up on deck having things explained to him by our Waddle Dee, Dwee. And Kirby is getting rid of our food stores for us," Rose laughed. "Now, before we go, are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, and even if I was, I would not tell you," he humphed, crossing his arms and narrowing his eyes at her. It was kind of unnerving, his eyes had glowed an angry red basically ever since he had woken up.

"Yeesh. You're even colder than Dwee is. At least you haven't tried to kick me yet," she sighed, standing up and leading him back up deck.

"Yay! Meta Knight poyo okay!" Kirby cheered, running over in excitement. "Rose poyo, more cookie?" he suddenly pleaded, turning to her and making a cutesy face.
