Kirby's Nightmare in Equestria
Ask
Dear Princess Celestia,
Last night, I came across an amazing discovery! While the girls and I were stargazing, an alien ship crashed and rolled down the hill we were resting on. The alien is presumed to be called "Kirby", but I'm not completely positive. Kirby also seems to have abilities far beyond my understanding and may be dangerous. Please respond as soon as possible, I'm not exactly sure what to do. In the mean time, I'll try my best to research the alien to the best of my ability.
Your faithful student,
Twilight sparkle
"-Aaaaaaand send it Spike!"
In a flash, the scroll containing the letter disappeared in a shroud of green fire.
"Thanks Spike. I hope the princes-"
"WAIT!"
Twilight was interrupted by the deafening yell of a confused baby dragon.
"You've been telling me, 'Go do this Spike' and, 'Write this!' but you haven't answered me what in the wide world of Equestria is even going on! Who is this 'Kirby' and what's all this talk about aliens!"
Twilight was stunned by this sudden outburst, but regained herself quickly. Now was not the time.
"Just wait, Spike. Once Applejack gets here, I'll explain to you."
Spike, in return, just sounded a groan in defeat. Before the dragon could say anything, a roar sounded from the depths of his stomach.
"Uh, Twilight? Can we go somewhere to eat? I haven't eaten in-"
*THUD*
A large thud emanated from the door, where an orange farmpony stood, accompanied by a certain pink ball.
"Sorry, Twilight. Ah was busy tryin' get this 'ere critter away from Sugarcube Corner."
"It's fine, Applejack. Just bring him over here and have him get in the chair. If he can understand us, we can at least use this time wisely."
EARLIER...
'I've spotted the Kirby. He seems to be speeding towards downtown Ponyville. The target seems to be in search of food, but I can't be sure. The target may be dangerous, keep cautious at all times.'
Pinkie stood on top of a building, overlooking the Ponyville shopping district. She wore a black suit, equipped with a pair of orange night-vision goggles adorning her face. She had been scoping out Kirby since the night they met, barely sleeping a peep. She had her doubts about the pink puff's innocence. So far, Kirby has been a innocent as a foal, but Pinkie wasn't going to give up just yet.
Pinkie had gathered dozens upon dozens of pages of information on the pink puff, but she only held onto the important things.
'Mental notes: Kirby can eat lots and lots of food.'
The pink spy then gathered up her thoughts as she moved herself back to the subject. She quickly leaped from the building and into open streets below, careful not to attract the attention of Kirby. She then tip-hooved her way to cover behind a stall before looking over.
Kirby had stopped right in front of Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie was worried of his intentions, but she couldn't intervene just yet.
In an instant, Kirby flew to the top of the building and looked towards the candy cane on top. He then began to intake tons of air before the candy cane fell from its perch and flew into his gaping maw. In a flash, Kirby changed from pink to grey.
'Okay, Kirby seems to-' Pinkie was then interrupted by a certain voice with a southern drawl.
"Uh, Pinkie? What'er ya doing hidin' behind that stall?"
Pinkie looked behind her before coming to face with Applejack, who was holding a lasso in her mouth. In a fit of panic, Pinkie jumped meters into the air before flying in the opposite direction of the sweet shop.
"MY COVER HAS BEEN BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!"
Applejack just stood there dumb-founded for a moment, fazed by the sudden outburst.
"Well, that was kinda weird."
Kirby sat in the middle of a room. It seemed to be a tree completely hollowed out. He was surrounded by books of every color. He was surrounded by two of the "Ponies" from before. Kirby found out what they actually were from the pony who called herself Applejack.
Kirby was unsure of what he was doing there, but so far, he wasn't getting any of the promised food.
Suddenly, a bowl of candy was pushed in front of him. Kirby tried to dive for it, but he was pulled back by a rope that was tied around him.
"Answer, then you'll get some, okay?" said Twilight as she took out a notepad and a quill from her desk.
"Uh, Twi? Don't ya think this is a little... harsh?"
Twilight then turned around with a serious expression before nearing in closer to her and whispering.
"Applejack, this is probably the only way we can ask him questions without him running off!"
Applejack sat there for a moment in thought before speaking up, "Point taken."
The pair then turned back to Kirby, who instead of watching the pair, was eyeing the candy in awe. Twilight then took the opportunity to get some answers out of him.
"Talk"
"Poyo!"
"That's right, you can't talk..." Twilight sat there a moment before an imaginary lightbulb formed over her head. "Just nod yes or no to each question, and I'll give you candy."
The confused Kirby was lightened up at the thought of it, despite being tied up.
"Poyo!" Kirby began to nod vigorously at the thought of getting candy and potentially becoming friends with the ponies.
Twilight then took out a sheet of paper she had on the table before beginning.
"Okay. Question one!"
Princess Celestia sat in her throne room, contemplating her schedule for the day. She had a practically empty day ahead of her. No news had been brought to her and nopony had needed her assistance all day. The only event for her was tea with Luna later. She also hadn't heard from Twilight Sparkle in quite a while, which meant that all was going well in Ponyville. She only wished that the days like these wouldn't be so tedious.
Celestia emitted a yawn before slumping slightly in her throne.
'I hope that something happens soon enou-'
Celestia's thoughts were interrupted by a flash of green fire that revealed a scroll. On the outside of the scroll read the word, "URGENT". Celestia quickly opened the scroll before perusing through. The letter was from Twilight Sparkle.
The silence was interrupted by a gasp. Celestia knew what Twilight was talking about. It was what Celestia least hoped what it was. Celestia knew who Kirby was, and she was not happy.
'If a star warrior is here, that must mean-'
She was quickly interrupted by the sound of the throne room's main doors opening in a slam. In came one of her royal guards, running at top speed.
"Princess Celestia!"
The white stallion fell to a halt as he put on an expression of pure fear.
"IT has returned..."
A/N:
Hi again! Thanks for all the likes and favorites, I really appreciate it.
Sorry for the short chapter, but I didn't have much time. And for those who were wondering where Pinkie was, there she is.
P.S. The first arc won't exactly be canon, but close enough...
EDIT: Mega thanks to this guy. Go follow him. He's awesome. Please. He's super amazing.

The force behind Nightmare Moon?
DUN DUN DUN!
SPOILERS:
This arc is my explanation why Sombra is so... undeveloped if you know what I mean...
In my opinion and using your basic theory he's not a real pony. Not anymore. He's been warped into a single minded being sworn to serve N.M.E.
Now for those who haven't seen the show that stands for Nightmare Enterprises and when sounded out spells Enemy. Which is what they sell. Monsters and bounty hunters to those that can afford them. They are the sworn enemy of the Star Warriors which is a tribe of aliens that consists of several character including, Kirby, Knuckle Joe, and Meta Knight. Just to name a few.
1661168I fun fact,. In the Japanese version NME is called Holy Nightmare. It's ironic that an evil monster company is holy. Also if you want to see the jap version see Starfumu on YouTube.
1661192
Well, if you think about it. There wasn't any besides Meta Knight and Kirby until N.M.E. Sent Knuckle Joe. So he's still a valid candidate. There's also Burning Leo, which is a Fire Elemental Star Warrior. (He's the blue guy with flames for hair and was brainwashed like most of the others which is why you fight them in the games. And why they change to a different color in games where you can add them to help like Kirby's Super Star.)
1661202
I agree but, Holy and Unholy is a matter of perspective. So in their eyes maybe they were doing the lord's work? Their lord was Nightmare.
1661207 I was planning on just keeping it with Kirby, but I'm open for suggestions... especially you. You're awesome.
1661218 also, the star warriors in japan is called the Galaxy army many tribes of free soldier who fought Holy Nightmare. Star warriors is an elite title. Meta knight and Kirby are star warriors. Also they say Kirby was created by Nightmare, but he rebelled became his bane.
1661224
Um... well thank you for the vote of confidence. I would recommend having some form of star warrior there. Be it arriving later or not. Because without said star warrior half of the exposition of Kirby's copy powers would have gone unanswered. (Yes Meta-Knight was basically a badass ball of knowledge in the show.)
1661244
So Kirby is basically a tainted Star Warrior? Or one Corrupted from birth but, outgrew his corruption? I like this angle. It also Explains the Galaxia Knight character which was in fact an evil Kirby that had traveled from an alternate future to kill the one we known at NME's request.
1661247 Hmm... I was planning on using more of Celestia as a guide, but Hell, I'll think about it.
HE IS BACK !!!! SHIT has now hit the fan.
1661264
You could have her have a Star Warrior locked in stone in the Gardens at said warrior's request just in case something like this happened. I even have a few spare Star Warrior OC's you could use. Because the only reason Meta Knight isn't a good guy full time is because Dedede saved his life when they first met.
1661260 I liked to think of Kirby as one of NME's greatest before he rebelled... I'll let you two talk now...
1661260 not tainted or corrupted, just born that way. See the Japanese anime to find out. Episode 3. Besides If Nightmare created so many evil monsters, there is always a chance of creating something good. Kirby is that example.
1661276 How about I have a statue of a star warrior who lived long ago and protected Equestria before he "left" and that's why Celestia knows so much.
The last line made me think of that Gak comic on my Little Brony
1661289
I would really think it best for either the star warrior to be freed from stone or have her be one of the beings that showed up when the Crystal Empire reappeared. Like she was trying to fight of King Sombra but, got whooped and sealed away with the Crystal Ponies. This would both allow Celestia to be more involved as well as gaining the Exposition Star Warrior. Said star warrior would have a power that Kirby could use that would only be in this story due to something on her person. (I said she because there needs to be more female star warriors dammit!)
1661318 You just had to screw everything up...
I also mentioned you in the story. I hope you get more watchers
1661287
This is very true. Very true indeed. But, that doesn't explain the Galaxia Knight arc. Which is in fact canon in the games as of the DS re-make of Kirby's Super Star.
After completing the game you can play a Boss Run mode where you play Meta Knight and the Final Boss is Galaxia who reveals that She, yes I said she. Had been pulled from her reality to kill the Kirby in the normal universe.
1661322 Dang... you just stole that right from my thoughts. I was planning on making that exactly.
Oh well, you get to know the future.
1661338
Pardon me with my mad skills. But, yes on that note I vote noble Galaxia. As I've stated above it's a future parallel female Kirby that was ripped from her own world and was defeated by Meta Knight when she tried to Kill Kirby. (You get your Meta Knight type character and She's technically Kirby so who better to know about Kirby than Kirby?)
1661357 Actually, could you PM me those star warrior OCs? I want to be a little more original.
1661385 HAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
I'll go fix that ASAP ;)
Huh...that's actually a really good way to explain King Sombra.
1661335 I didn't see her in the anime. And played the game. So I need to research. The only one that I know with that named is meta knight's holy sword Galaxia.
Hmmm... Question. Will this just be the show? Or Will the games be involved?
1661455 It's redundant? Please give me a hint.
1661330 Thank you very much
1661192 Arent they the ones who sell the great penguin king his monsters?
Heh. So now Celestia has to deal with both the Crystal Empire and Kirby. At least Kirby's got good intentions.
1661485 You lost me... And I should delete that old comment. I changed the plot a tad bit.
1661432 I don't think Galaxia Knight was in the anime (Meta was badass enough for one show, they don't need another badass to make this show comletely badass.) Arena and True Arena. You fight Galaxia Knight before you fight Marx. Ahhh Marx you annoying WARPING LITTLE BASTARD. And saw this update, and today wasn't so bad anymore.
This is a crack fic disguised with decent grammar and good spelling. It is still, however, a crack fic.
Unfortunately, I feel that I must follow this crack fic due to the feeling that by doing so, I will suffer from many great bouts of laughter.
YAY KIRBY! PS: all chapters start with A!
1661432
I have a picture... Though I don't know it it will upload. One second.images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120129223938/nintendo/en/images/0/05/Brawl_Boss_Galacta_Knight_by_hextupleyoodot.jpg
Oh and it's Galacta. I had it spelled wrong.
1661562 I actually have a whole adventure planned out for this, but I will add laughter in between. I mean, c'mon, it's Kirby.
1624212 you should actually remake that song with those lyrics. if you do i'll give you a free cookie.
1661577 That... is amazing...
'dis gon b good
i'll definitely be reading this later, and i swear, Kirby had better temporarily eat one of the mane six and acquire their powers, or i'll have to write an extremely polite comment requesting that it be done! :P
1624212 I just now realized what song that is for...
It brought tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful.
1661627 Been there, done that...
Me reading the chapter out loud: "IT has returned!"
My little bro hears me: "DA COOKIES!?!"
Me: "...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
... yes."
1661652 I will now have to make the main villain the cookie monster.
1661675 I have told my brother... he is pleased...
1661643
tonight, this story and i are going on a date.
i have the desk all set, scroll button primed, comfy computer chair ready for sitting, i hope you like cider!
1661705 Pour me a glass.

pinkie.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/133912013031.gif
cheers!
1661736 Ahhhh
I needed that after a few hours of writing.
1661579 Yeah, I was about to say, Galaxia is the sentient superweapon that just happens to be a sword and only let's "Chosen ones" wield it, and electrifies anyone else who tries. To my knowledge, only Kirby and Meta Knight are "Chosen", with Meta Knight being slightly more "Chosen" than Kirby. The only way around that is with dark rituals.
Galaxia ALSO happens to be one of Kirby's copy abilities, essentially Sword Kirby with fifteen times the power, and cosmic properties. Yes, he does have to eat the superweapon to use it. It's an extremely high powered ability unique to one object, much like Star Rod Kirby.
Galacta Knight is more or less the former holder of the rank in the Star Warrior that Meta Knight has now, give or take a thousand years, that went mad with power way before the Star Warriors were all but exterminated. He may or may not have had something to do with that. Not sure.
If I recall. No promises, but pretty sure.
In other news, if eating a unicorn can trigger copy abilities, keep Kirby the HELL away from Vinyl. Fans will know what I mean.
Non-fans, or just the curious, can watch below.
Mike Kirby was only shown twice. The second instance is a good bit longer, but also a good deal sillier. Hunt it down and watch at your own risk.
