Kaiyo is an atom controlling character that likes to take the hard road at achieving anything and taking such a route can get any fella hungry. Finding an apple tree can be a gift for him, but it could be a problem for Applejack to deal with.
This story was originally written out to be an animation crossover for one of my various shorts involving a character of mine named, Kaiyo, but it was never made. So now after these many years, I'm going to be taking the script to the short and transferring it over to a one-shot for everyone (as well as a few tracks that I would've wanted if it was animated). And don't worry, I'll inform you who Kaiyo is withing the story.
This is basically a 100 followers celebration story that I would've made when I got said number since I first started an account here.... why'd it take 7 years, 28 days, and 13 minutes to get 100 followers?

Probably because you feel that a Kirby recolored ripoff is an original character.

*Looks at all the other My Little Pony original characters.*
*Notes the many pony creators out there that just recolor the main cast.*
*Rubs temple by your poor attempt at being clever in both insult and username.*

Much better insult, but you still miss the point entirely.
Everything is a ripoff of something, it's how you forge it that makes it creative.
I highly suggest you read the story first before you make claims that I simply painted over Kirby.
I love the plot of this story. It's neat how Kaiyo and Applejack began as enemies, only to work together and become friends when Whispy Woods became involved. However, I've got a question:
Didn't you say that Kaiyo is a Kirby OC? Why couldn't Kaiyo fly?
By the way, I love your Kirby OC. A bandanna-wearing ocean-blue Kirby who can control atoms and create things with said atoms? I give it a 10/10 for originality and awesomeness!
And those animations involving Kaiyo were pretty funny. They also showed off Kaiyo's abilities well. But why did the Fire Dragon explode after eating the spray paint?

I'm happy to hear that you liked the story as well as the shorts.
Giving Kaiyo the ability to fly comes off as being unbalanced and unnecessary in the long run.
While he's best known for copying, Kirby's normal abilities are based around exhaling (spitting stars or water jets underwater) and inhaling (to suck in enemies to copy or to gain air to float about). As for Kaiyo, he's already overpowered with the ability to control atoms (he could easily disintegrate anything without any resistance). I shouldn't be adding to Kaiyo, I should be subtracting from him by giving him disadvantages and rules (like his firm stand from using his skill on pulling others apart and his indirect approach towards problems).
When I'm working with Kaiyo, I often imagine that he's the personification of creativity and wouldn't resort to doing things in a simple manner (such as to fly to reach or grab something). He could always make wings to help him fly (given on what he has around him), and his atom controlling could act like a way to fly about (somewhat like teleporting), but no matter what's available, making things difficult for Kaiyo will be best for entertaining himself and every viewer.
Sealed cans that contain liquid (wither it be paint, air fresheners, or even soda) that get tossed into an area of intense heat (ex. campfire) will start to evaporate its content into gas. Metal can withstand the heat for some time, but the gas forming inside it will start building to a point where it'll break and blasts apart like a grenade.
Having a Fire Dragon go out this way felt so fresh to me, so... fire in the hole.

That makes sense. Of course someone with the power to build practically anything from practically anything else wouldn't resort to doing things the simple way. And I understand why you decided not to grant Kaiyo the ability to fly. It would both be too overpowered and unnecessary.
And it seems like you've really shown your work in the short where Kaiyo throws a spray can into the Fire Dragon's mouth to blow it up. That was quite clever!
You know, I've never even heard of Kaiyo or other Kirby OCs until I watched this video. Thanks to your story and author's note, now I know how he got all of those items during the chase scene.
