Chapter Text
"Huh?! Another Kirby, Meta, and Galacta with a Joe and two unknown people?!" The man shouts before smiling greatly. "Well, about time things got interesting!"
"Ugh! We've been walking for hours!" Knuckle Joe shouts. "As much as I appreciate the scenery, what are we supposed to do?!"
Onyx laughs while carrying his mother. "Come now, kid! Don't be a spoilsport! It's not often that things run this smoothly!"
Onyx turns to Kirby, who was, meanwhile, snoozing on Meta Knight's back, much to his amusement.
The Star Warriors stop when they hear an engine approaching. Kirby perks up and sees something.
"Hey, isn't that a Winged Star?" Kirby asks. The other Star Warriors got their weapons out, as those machines could be from remnants of Nightmare's empire.
What surprised them was that the Winged Star had a Waddle Dee in a postman uniform on it, only for him to stop and park it next to them.
"Excuse me!" The Waddle Dee said to the Star couple. "But are you Kirby and Meta Knight?"
Kirby looks at Meta Knight, who was equally shocked, before the swordsman said. "And if we are?"
"Good! I come to give you this!" the Waddle Dee explains as he gives Meta Knight an envelope. The Dee went back on the Winged Star and flew off. "Have a good day!"
"Did that pipsqueak just…?" Knuckle Joe asks.
Sirica elbows Joe as she turns his attention to the note Meta Knight, Kirby, and Onyx Knight were reading.
Yo to Kirby and Meta Knight!
Welcome to our Dreamland! If you are confused why I wrote like that, it's because congratulations! You just set foot into another dimension! And yes, many others, including me, have run into them before. Nothing too special.
Anyways, I am getting off track. I invite you and your pals to my castle for a feast and chat to get yourselves acquainted with our world!
From, the Great King of this Dreamland!
And the note had a small pink button attached, waiting to be pressed.
"There's a Tubby in this dimension too?" Knuckle Joe scoffs.
"Yeah, I am not too sure about this, bro," Onyx agrees.
"I am aware. However, this Dedede and his allies seem familiar with other dimensions. It would be vital to gather-"
"Boop!" Kirby said, interrupting Meta Knight by pressing the button.
"Kirby!" The other Star Warriors shout while Galacta had an amused snort.
"Sorry! I got bored and hungry!" Kirby pouts.
The button glows as it sends them all in front of a castle. It was smaller and had black tinted windows resembling angry eyes.
"Huh! Didn't think you'd all come that quick! I expected at least 3 minutes of you all thinking!" A gruff voice shouts.
The castle's drawbridge lowers as a big man sets foot on it. While having the same hair, crown, and robes, the man had a peach kemono, and the hammer held by his hand was massive, with a star symbol on the blunt edges instead of his logo. Not to mention his bulk seemed muscular compared to the lazy king's fat.
But there was no mistaking the man before then.
"So, are you all coming in or what?" King Dedede said with a bombastic grin.
