//------------------------------// // Chapter 21: ??? // Story: Of Copy Abilities and Friendship // by MeeM //------------------------------// Kirby felt nothing around him no floor, no walls, no weather, it was like he was in some kind of black void, and when Kirby opened his eyes thats exactly where he was, with one acceptation, there was a human bigger than Adeline dressed in orange and black armor standing ahead of him arms locked together behind his back and on his back two draconic wings twitched upon his back connected but not quite it was like they didn't belong there at all. "Lets get straight to the point" he said "you and your friends did not belogn where they ended up so i'm here to fix things" the man sighed "this never would have happened if those two dam temporal events didn't happen simultaneously!" Kirby didn't know what the man was talking about as he rambled on about stuff Kirby didn't understand eventually he stoptted and turned back around to Kirby, "sorry for going off like that but this has got to be fixed so what you have to do is not swallow or spit things out as stars unless its some kind of projectile ok? can you even understand me at all?" Kirby nodded. "Thank you at least you can udnerstand what needs to be done and you aren't a complete infant intellectually still" the man took a deep breath "so yeah i'm going to send you back and you need to not kill anything and befirend everyone you see if you can alright?" Kirby nodded again. "Great!" the crazed looking man said "then lets just get this fricking over with i've other stuff to do today like helping the doctor upgrade his computer or going to the store and trading with shady website dealers to get big shot soda" the mans hand's lit up and a great white light filled Kirby's eyes. Sunlight touched Kirby's eyes as he awoke, he was in his house on popstar again in bed, like it was all just a dream. So if that weird human guy was right? Kirby heard a crashing sound outside, he ran out the front door to investigate and it was true, the dark hearts were raining from the sky again, he was back on Popstar, finally he was home. "Hey Kirby wait up aren't you gonna want breakfast?" a familiar voice rang out from behind him "what the..." Marx said looking up at the dark hearts raining down across popstar, "screw breakfast we gotta check this out!" Marx said excitedly as he spied the pattern of the dark hearts path, most of them were falling to Castle Dedede. Marx began rolling his way to castle Dedede on his ball, Kirby would have been interested in the hearts before but now he knew what was coming he knew what those hearts could do, and he knew exactly who were coming to collect them, Kirby ran after Marx and their adventure began anew.
