Kirby's Story

Once upon this beautiful day, there lived a pink sleeping puffball living in a dome-like house. This little pink creature is Kirby, and he is simply dreaming in his sleep. Perhaps he had eaten a lot of apples he found awhile ago. Even so, he was very tired.

Suddenly, a strange pink meteor is falling from the sky, and it is about to crash into the surface. The bright pink light from the comet somehow wakes Kirby up from his slumber. And then... the comet crashed into the ground, and the ground rumbles around it. Kirby got up from the ground and peeks through the window. He can see the smoke far away from his distance. With that said, he leaves his domeshaped house and head towards the comet's direction.

Kirby arrives where the comet lies. He proceeds with caution as he tries to feel the temperature from the comet's surface. It feels... warm. And for some strange reason, the comet looks shiny... much like a jewel from outer space. Kirby picks up the pink gem carefully and looks at it carefully. It seems that this pink gem is embedded with magical properties. Maybe it looks nice as part of his decoration. It reminds him of strawberry ice cream!

But before Kirby decides to take the pink gem home, a Waddle Dee with a blue bandana and his group of Waddle Dees run over Kirby. As Kirby recovers from a stampede of Waddle Dees, he notices that the pink gem is stolen... by a group of Waddle Dees.

"This pink shiny comet looks beautiful! It's a tourmaline from outer space!" Bandana Dee identified the gem, "We have to show this to the king! He might like this."

But Kirby found the gem first, and he wants it back. The Waddle Dees see Kirby trying to get it back, so they simply run away from the demanding pink puffball. They need to be careful not to break the gemstone. It's too valuable to be destroyed!

Yes, King Dedede has been busy eating a lot of cake, and yet not one of them is a lie. But his cake feast is soon interrupted by his henchmen. Bandana Waddle Dee arrives with the pink gem in his hands along with his followers. But they completely forgot that something else is on their tail.

"Sire!" Bandana Dee spoke, "I have acquired a pink space meteorite! I think this might be valuable."

"Hm - ? A pink meteorite? Lemme see it!" Dedede said, hopping down to check out the gem. "...Bah! I hate pink. Still, some sucker might fall head over heels for this beaut...Alright, it's decided! We'll cart this to the black market first thing in the mor - "

All of a sudden, something is sucking the gem away from Dedede's hands. It was Kirby who crashed in, and caught the gem in his mouth. "Poyo!!" Kirby angrily spoke. He told him he found the gem first.

A couple of Waddle Dees guard King Dedede with their spears.

"(!) Kirby?!" Dedede shouted. "Look, not that we don't love you or anythin' (I don't), but we've got an important business deal tomorrow, and we DON'T need your goody-two-shoes scatterbrain impedin' with it! Now give back that gem pronto!"

Kirby refused to let Dedede sell his new possession for his greedy desires. So he escapes with the gem in his hands.

"Aw, poop." Bandana Dee commented.

Kirby returned back home with the space pink gem in his hands. Maybe King Dedede will learn his lesson. He shouldn't take what doesn't belong to him. If he would've done that again, Kirby would've eaten him alive. The grumpy pink puff is on his way back home. But... something doesn't seem right. Why are the flowers wilting away? Why did the river turn red? Kirby seems uneasy about his surroundings. Somebody must've done this.

Meanwhile, an old man named Grimm is leaving his foul essence behind. He is responsible for pollution. But why did he come here to make everything dirty and morbid?

"Dream Valley is worse than I thought! There's too much happiness and cleanliness! Oooh, how I loathe everything about it... Well I shouldn't complain anymore! If you want something to happen, you gotta do it yourself. How about we make the Meadowlands a bit more... disgusting."

Grimm begins his rampage. He started small by wilting the flowers until they die. Nature is starting to lose his green essence thanks to Grimm's corruption with darkness. As he continues to run rampant, the rivers now begin to turn red, and the sky begins to lose its blue color. Then the animals he counters transform from their cuddly critter appearances into rabid, violent beasts.

"YES!! That's the stuff!! More darkness! More fear! More blood! This macabre movement is the best way to begin with!"

Which brings back to the point where Kirby finds Grimm in the distance and turning everything into a horrifying mess. Kirby panicked and ran away.

"Poyo!!!" He screamed while running away with the pink gem in his hand. But the light essence from Kirby seems to clean the corruption away. Grimm doesn't take kindly to cleaners.

"Only one?! Let's make it three against one! I hardly call it a fair challenge, but screw the rules! I got the dirt!" Grimm starts pursuing Kirby in an attempt to corrupt the puff ball.

Observing this calamity is a lone statue out in the middle of the plains. This statue resembles an odd humanoid creature, a ninja with a tanuki-like tail. The trail of corruption passed by this statue, and was creeping ever closer to the statue, which was at that time starting to twitch. It seemed as if the corrupted essence was going to swallow the statue, but...

FSHOO!!

The statue burst apart in a vivid green flash, pushing back the dark essence. In the statue's place was the strange humanoid...ninja thing. His green eyes shone out from underneath his hood, beholding the calamity that's polluting Meadowlands.

Antasma flies up to Grimm and Kirby, carrying Ales.

"That gem... it is vone of those ve seek!" exclaims Antasma, looking over at Kirby.

"And somebody found it first! Chase him down!" Ales commanded.

Grimm continues to chase Kirby down with more corruption spreading from his behind. A swift butt stomp will stun Kirby until he can attack him. So Grimm jumps up and slams the ground with his butt. But Kirby jumped over his dark shockwave in time and held his breath to fly up.

"Persistent, aren't you?" Grimm glared, "Give me the pink gem!"

"Poyo!" Kirby angrily replied, then drops himself down.

"Fine! I'll have to deal with you the hard way!" Grimm corrupted the nearby flowers and transformed them into venus fly traps. They try to grab Kirby with their vines and squeeze him.

"Kaze no Odori!!"

A strange mid-sized tornado erupted near Ales, Antasma, and Grimm, meaning to draw them away from Kirby.

"YOOOUUU SSSUUUUUUCCCCKKK!!!" Grimm screamed.

"CURSES! Whoever did that must be destroyed!" Ales will not tolerate anyone who stands in his way, "I swear it!!!"

Kirby watched the bad guys taken away by a twister. Kirby wonders who did it. He should be thankful that somebody saved his pink butt. But the corruption is still there. What can Kirby do to clean everything up?

Antasma also delivers numerous curses as he is blown away.

The source of the tornado rises up through it, striking the three bad guys to the ground. It was the strange tanuki-tailed ninja, flashing two bladed fans in his hands. He held one fan upward, and the other horizontally across his chest.

"Things are better...in their natural state..."

Far away from Kirby and a guardian, Ales, Antasma, and Grimm fall down to the ground and face planted in pain. Grimm apparently cause everything around him to become corrupted. He can corrupt some more.

"Unbelievable!!" Ales got off the ground, "Fine... You want do this the hard way, well you got it!" Within his power, Ales summons monsters coming from the ground. Treants and golems are heading for Kirby's and the stranger's direction. "Go fourth and destroy them! Bring back the pink gem!"

The ninja cast a glow from his eyes, using Nento Undo to seize a golem with psychokinesis. He then used the golem as a floating club, smacking the other golems and treants with it.

Kirby inhales the golem's giblets and devours them whole. Upon swallowing the giblets, Kirby manages to obtain the Stone Copy Ability. As a result, Kirby transforms into Stone Kirby. Stone Kirby morphs into a giant boulder and revs himself up. He charge towards the attacking treants and golems and ends up flattening them like pancakes.

"So, the pink puff's got a stone ability. Big deal!" Ales reanimates the treants and golems and commands them to attack, "Kill him and take the gem!!"

The treants slam their fists to the ground and spawn their thorny roots above Goemon and Stone Kirby.

"Let's make them.... disgusting!" Grimm jumps above the ground and buttstomps the ground, corrupting more nature around him, and making the thorns more sharp and poisonous. Stone Kirby is unaffected by the poison, but reverts back to his regular form. But he is trapped by the thorns around him.

The ninja, Goemon, seemed to have vanished before the thorns could capture him. Then, several slashes occurred through the vines, shearing them to bits and freeing Kirby.

Kirby drops the stone ability and inhales the chopped thorns around him. This will transform him into the prickly Needle Kirby. Needle Kirby fire spiny missiles from his helmet and locks on their targets, Grimm, Ales, and Antasma. Ales creates a barrier to protect him, Grimm, and Antasma.

"Is that all you got?!" Then one spiny missile hites Ales from behind, "GAK!! My behinds!!!"

"Do what you want to stop the pink pest. I got some unfinished business to take care of. Grimmify Dream Valley!!!"

Grimm leaves the group behind and continues to corrupt more and more as he leaves the Meadowlands to another area. Ales looks displeased thanks to Grimm who left them behind. But who could blame him? Meadowlands is already a big mess.
