Chapter 1: The Planet of Dream

Far away, really far away, on another planet called 'Popstar,' there exists a place called Dreamland. A ruthless tyrant named DeDeDe lives there, and has proclaimed himself king. Over the years, King DeDeDe has tried to take over more and more of Popstar. Each time, however, a brave Star Warrior named Kirby has stood in his way. Kirby is small and pink, but he is still considered a powerhouse. Kirby has a unique power called 'inhale.' He can literally inhale his foes into his mouth like a vacuum, and swallow them whole. Sometimes, he can even copy the powers of some of the foes he inhales, giving Kirby powers like fire, ice, sword, ect. This has made Kirby a very resourceful fighter. With his ability to inhale and copy power, the Star Warrior Kirby has defeated King DeDeDe many times. King DeDeDe's hopes seemed in vain, but he has not stopped searching for a way to succeed.

Suddenly a rumor, a legend of infinite possibilities, made its way across planet Popstar, and into the ears of its' would-be king. The Legend tells of a place called the Fountain of Dreams which is said to hold a map which leads to the hiding place of the most powerful wish granting item, the Star Rod. Created by the Seven Star Spirits, the Star Rod can grant any wish the holder desires. However, the Star Spirits have hidden it away, to prevent evil beings from misusing it...

One morning, Kirby was walking near his home, just enjoying the sunshine.

Kirby- What a lovely day. I think I'll go to Cappie Town.

*In a place called Cappie Town, near Kirby's house and near Castle DeDeDe*

Kirby had just finished his breakfast at Chief Kawasaki's restaurant. Suddenly, this young girl and boy walked in and rushed to the table Kirby was sitting at. Their names were Tiff and Tuff, and they were close friends of Kirby.

Kirby- Tiff, Tuff, what brings you here?

Tuff- Kirby, we think King DeDeDe is at it again!

Kirby- What do you mean?

Tiff- My brother and I overheard King DeDeDe talking with his stooge of a sidekick, Escargoon. They said DeDeDe discovered a stone tablet that should tell him the location of the fountain of dreams! They said he deciphered the map, and is making plans to find the Fountain of Dreams. He obviously wants to go after the Star Rod!

Kirby- We can't let DeDeDe get the Star Rod! I better get over to DeDeDe's castle and destroy that stone tablet!

Chief Kawasaki- Kirby, wait! Where are you going?!

Kirby- I'm going to stop King DeDeDe from doing something evil!

Chief Kawasaki- But Kirby, you forgot to pay your bill.

Kirby- Oops!

*As Castle DeDeDe*

King DeDeDe was sitting on his throne as Escargoon walked in the throne room.

Escargoon- Your majesty, are you sure that leaking the story of the stone tablet to Tiff and Tuff was a good idea?

King DeDeDe- Of course it was. After all, I want Kirby to come and fall into my trap. Is the device ready for Kirby?

Escargoon- Yes, sire.

King DeDeDe- Then go put it in place! We need it set for Kirby's arrival!

*Outside Castle DeDeDe*

The Waddle Dee's were doing their usual patrol around the castle. Then, Kirby snuck up behind some of them and quickly knocked them out. Kirby had to move fast to try so as not be detected, even if he was very familiar with Castle DeDeDe. Kirby made his way inside and swiftly knocked out any guard that was in his way. Eventually, Kirby made his way into the throne room and saw DeDeDe sitting on his throne.

King DeDeDe- Kirby, how good to see you again.

Kirby- DeDeDe! Where is the tablet?!

King DeDeDe pulls out the stone tablet and holds it in front of Kirby.

King DeDeDe- You mean this? Want it, come and get it.

Kirby rushed to grab the tablet, but when Kirby got halfway across the throne room, some kind of tube appeared around Kirby, trapping him.

Kirby- What the?! What's going on here?!

King DeDeDe jumps off his throne and circles around the tube Kirby is trapped in.

King DeDeDe- You see Kirby, I let Tiff and Tuff overhear my conversation with Escargoon to lure you to me. This tablet does have the coordinates to the Fountain of Dreams, but I haven't fully deciphered it. But while we're trying to crack this code, I figured I'd test this new invention. It's a teleporter tube. I type coordinates into it, and it will teleport whatever is inside of it, to that location in the blink of an eye. Once we learn the Fountain of Dreams' location, I'll use it to get there, and find the map to where the Star Spirits have hidden the Star Rod. But we needed to test it first. Let's see if the teleporter tube can send you far away. I'm thinking Popstar's sun should be far enough.

Kirby's had a look of horror on his face. Then King DeDeDe pulled out a microphone and began talking into it.

King DeDeDe- Waddle Dee's! Enter the sun's coordinates into the computer so Kirby can fry!

*In some computer room in Castle DeDeDe*

A Waddle Dee was eating a sandwich with blue jelly, and took a bite out of it before King DeDeDe gave the order through the microphone. Part of the jelly landed on the paper with the sun's coordinates written on it, covering the numbers. The sun's coordinates were 3902835539186, but the 8 now looked like a 3 with the jelly stain. So the Waddle Dee entered 390235539186 instead.

*Back in the throne room*

The teleporter tube began to light up and Kirby was starting to disappear.

King DeDeDe- Ha ha ha ha! Goodbye forever, Kirby! May you never be a pain in my ass again! Don't worry, you'll die with a tan.

Then Kirby's body was engulfed in a bright light and Kirby completely vanished. Not a single trace of him was to be found inside the tube.

King DeDeDe- Finally! Kirby is gone! And I can now do whatever I want to not only Dreamland, but planet Popstar too! Once I get the Star Rod, my power will be limitless!

*To wherever Kirby was teleported*

Kirby was lying on the ground. His eyes were closed, but he was aware of his surrounded.

Kirby- Where am I? This doesn't feel like the sun. Hold on! Is someone talking to me?

It was faint, but Kirby was hearing someone's voice.

Voice- …ou ok? Wake up! Say something!

Kirby's eyes slowly opened and he saw a strange man with a mustache, dressed like a plumber. He was wearing a red hat with an M on it.

Mario- Finally, you woke up. I almost though you were dead.

Kirby looked around and saw he was in a forest of some kind, but not like any of the forests he'd seen on Popstar.

Kirby- Where am I?

Mario- The Mushroom Kingdom.

Kirby- Where is that on Popstar?

Mario- Popstar?

Kirby- The name of the planet we live on.

Mario- Sorry, but the name of this planet is Earth.

Kirby- King DeDeDe's teleporter tube sent me to another planet! I need to get back to Popstar! WARP STAR! WARP STAR!

The Warp Star didn't come and Kirby looked sad.

Mario- What are you doing?

Kirby- Trying to call my Warp Star. It lets me travel around the planet I'm from, but I'm too far away from Popstar.

Mario- Sorry, but I have no idea what's going on. Try explaining it to me, from the beginning.

Kirby told Mario his name and about his life being a Star Warrior. Kirby also told Mario about the legend of the Fountain of Dreams, and about the Star Rod. Then Kirby told Mario about the trap DeDeDe had set for him.

Mario- So you're from another planet?

Kirby- I guess that's one way of looking at it.

Mario- Maybe there's something I can do to help. I'm Mario, by the way.
