Chapter 3: Kracking Down

Cue theme song!

Everypony, with the exception of Pinkie who was smiling ear to ear due the adorable mass of
pink standing in front of her, stared in amazement. Did Kirby just eat the table? Meta-Knight’s reaction
was different.

“Kirby, you gluttonous blob, spit that out right now!” He barked.

Kirby swallowed, returning to normal size and turned away with a “Humph!”

“Now Kirby!”

The pink puff refused. The two started to bicker (I say bicker it was more Meta-Knight yelling at
Kirby who responded with various “Poyos” and the like)

“Am I the only one who thinks something is wrong here?” Rarity said quietly.

“I’m not sure,” Twilight answered. “But this is… Weird”

“That’s an understatement.” Applejack added.

“If he’s a hero, how will he fight?” Rainbow Dash wondered. “He doesn’t look so-”

“CRACK!” Her thought was interrupted by a crash of thunder. They all looked up. It was sunny
out with only one white cloud in the sky. How could- Wait! Was it getting closer? Are those yellow spikes
around it?! DOES IT HAVE AN EYE BALL?!

As the cloud came closer, Meta-Knight and Kirby put their argument on hold.

“Kracko?!” Meta-Knight was shocked. The look on Kirby’s face told the same story. “Quick we
must find somewhere underground!”

The 8 ran for the city. Kirby held his stumps up above his head/body, as his feet fluttered across
the ground. Meta-Knight ran with his blade ready. Kracko followed, striking lightning at them, especially
Meta-Knight who was slower due to his armor. They zigzagged through the streets of Canterlot, yelling
for ponies to go indoors. The group eventually made it to a subway station to catch their breath.

“W-what is that?” Twilight panted.

“Kracko,” The blue knight explained, “One on N.M.E.’s oldest monsters. As you see he’s a
lightning elemental monster.”

“How do we fight it?” Rainbow asked.

Meta-Knight turned to Kirby, “Call your warp star.”

Kirby pulled out a small pink box. It had buttons, a screen, and an antenna with a star at the end.
Kirby blabbered into it. Soon a large yellow star soared in.

“What is that thing?” Applejack asked.

“The warp star is like a power source for Kirby,” The armored puff explained. “He can also use
it as a flying vehicle. Now all we need is something to arm Kirby with…” Meta-Knight and Kirby scanned
the room, they could use Meta-Knight’s sword but that probably wouldn’t be affective.

“I have a boomerang!” Pinkie spoke up. Out of nowhere she pulled out a metal, somewhat ‘V’
shaped, bar.

“Why do you have that?” Meta-Knight asked.

“In case of boomerang emergency, silly!”

Both deciding it was best to just accept her madness, Kirby took the boomerang. He threw the
weapon up and swallowed it. As he did a yellow hat with eye’s appeared on his head. Down the middle
of the hat was a sharp curved yellow blade.

Kirby jumped on the warp star and took off.
