I've been playing a game called Nine Parchments recently and just-- I love Owl so freakin much

Meta Knight: I usually only swear when I'm alone.

The Group's April Fools Experience

In the weeks leading up to April Fools, Marx and Magolor were constantly hyping up the day. They'd make plans for pranks, bring home tons of materials, etc. 

So, of course, everyone else is worried about what's to come. On April Fools day, everyone (except Kirby) was super cautious and on edge, constantly checking everything for traps. 

What did Marx and Magolor end up doing? Nothing. The one prank that occurred that day was one by Kirby that involved a whoopee cushion. Their plan was to make everyone think they were doing something crazy and watch the chaos unfold. 

...That said, they still have plenty of prank supplies to use over the next few months, so the rest of the group should probably watch out.

Well, you see, there's a black hole called THE VOID apparently showing up in multiple dimensions, do you see a black point in the sky recently? Leave by Whellie.

Kirby: A… Black dot in the sky..? I dunno… I don’t think so?

Kirby: I’ve met someone named Void Termina before, though! Does that help?

The heck is a borb? (actual question)

((“Borb” is just something that Meta Knight’s commonly (at least in my experience) called, kinda like how Kirby’s a puffball and Magolor’s an egg.

I’m not sure when or where it originated, but I see it used a lot. I’m not even sure what it means (if it even really has a meaning), though I think it could possibly be a portmanteau of “Blue Orb”.))

((EDIT: There are multiple answers in the replies, so go check those out!))

Magolor: You know that's partially why nobody trusts you, right?

Marx: Worth it.

Magolor: Yeah that's fair.

Hey, MK, you should've gotten your mask back an ask earlier

Meta Knight: I should have..? ...Yes, you're right!

Meta Knight: *glares at Magolor* Yet you only just gave me my mask back now.

Magolor: *chuckles awkwardly* Uh... Oops?

Meta Knight:

Magolor: H-hey, this way you could properly explain your eyes! Look on the bright side! 

Meta Knight: They had seen my eyes five times already. I could have explained my eye colour just as easily with my mask on.

Magolor: *sweating* Haha, yeah I'm just gonna... *teleports away* 

Meta Knight: *growls* Coward.

Meta Knight: *sighs and turns back toward the asker* Thank you for telling me about this. He is lucky he only kept my mask from me for one extra ask.

Magolor finally gave him his mask back

Alternatively:

To Meta Knight: Morpho Knight is a black puffball with orange armor and helmet with orange butterfly wings. Do you know anything about the butterfly warrior?

Meta Knight: A... Butterfly warrior?

Meta Knight: Ah! Are you referring to what became of Galacta Knight when he was absorbed by that butterfly?

Meta Knight: If so, then yes, the others and I have fought him. However, we never learned his name.

Meta Knight: Morpho Knight is fitting, I suppose.

Meta Knight: Perhaps you could describe what this warrior looks like?

((The group has fought Morpho Knight, but I don't think they'd actually know his name.))

Magolor: I don't taste good I swear

Personally I think it would make a lot more sense for MMW to come before MNU, since Nova appears damaged when summoned by Meta Knight but not when summoned by Kirby. That, and it would make sense for Meta Knight to have been trying so hard in training to be better prepared after the domination attempt by Marx. Though not the strongest support, Nova can be seen in the background of the blowout blast minigame in Robobot, damage included, meaning they’re likely still alive. That’s just me, though.

Fair, but I'd argue that Meta Knight would already have a lot of reasons to want to get stronger even before Marx does his thing. Marx wasn't the first person to try to take over Popstar, after all. Even if we assume that Meta Knight didn't really know much about Zero and the Dark Matter take over, Nightmare was still a pretty big threat.

Obviously, though, consistency errors like the Nova being damaged thing wouldn't happen here. It's not like I'm trying to claim my timeline is canon for Kirby in general, so I'm not afraid to make little changes like that.

Nova explodes when Marx crashes into it, and I just don't see that being easy to recover from. I guess you could argue that Nova never fully died, since Kirby never destroyed its core like he had to do with Star Dream, but I dunno.

I didn't know about the Blowout Blast Easter Egg though. Do you happen to know what level that's in?

Overall I'd say both orders can make sense. I think I'll leave my order as it is, though, since having Milky Way Wishes happen afterward also gives Meta Knight more time to fix the Halberd before Squeak Squad, where it's up and running.

I figure now is a good time to go over the game timeline in this blog's universe, since it’s not just the order the games were released in. I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a bit, but I figured I’d wait until that last ask was posted since it kinda brought the timeline up.

I’ll leave my explanations for everything under a cut, since it’s pretty long.

- Dream Land 1/Spring Breeze

- Dynablade

- Great Cave Offensive

- Meta Knight's Revenge

- Meta Knightmare

- Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land 

- Dream Land 2

- Dream Land 3

- Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards 

- Revenge of the King 

- Meta Knightmare Ultra 

- Milky Way Wishes 

- Amazing Mirror 

- Squeak Squad 

- Return to Dream Land

- Triple Deluxe

- Dededetour

- Planet Robobot

- Meta Knightmare Returns?

- Star Allies

- Guest Star and Heroes in Another Dimension

The spin-offs with plot (Epic Yarn, Mass Attack, etc.) are all in there somewhere as well (probably around their release order), but they don’t matter as much.

So yeah, Super Star is split up and scattered around. I think it makes more sense for Meta Knight’s Revenge, where Meta Knight was more of a villain, to come before Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land, where’s he more like a mentor to Kirby. And then I just figured that everything that comes before Meta Knight’s Revenge in Super Star might as well still happen first.

Basically, Meta Knight attacks Dream Land in an attempt to overthrow Dedede, but Kirby stops him. Impressed that Kirby was able to defeat him and intrigued by how similar he and Kirby look, Meta Knight decides to keep an eye on him and eventually starts to act as a mentor.

Meta Knightmare 1 is something I think I might wanna explain in an ask, though I guess it doesn’t matter too much. If you’d rather I explain it out of character just tell me, otherwise you can ask Meta Knight about his experiences with Nightmare/fighting Nightmare. …Or about his cape, since that’s connected.

After 64, Dedede recruits Bandee as his second in command (or something like that), and gives him the bandana as a sign of status. Kirby and Dedede are on pretty good terms now, but Dedede still decides to challenge Kirby to one last battle for fun (though Dedede does also want to prove to himself that he can beat Kirby.)

Meta Knightmare Ultra only consists of the Meta Knight’s Revenge and Milky Way Wishes parts, since the others aren’t too important. Meta Knight accidentally goes too far in a training exercise with his crew and crashes his own ship. Unfortunately, repairing the Halberd the first time used of most of the spare parts he had, so Meta Knight has to travel to the surrounding planets to gather more. Nova is pretty well known around Popstar, but only as a myth. Most people don’t know he actually exists. Still, Meta Knight decides to try his luck and summon him, since he’s heading to the planets anyway. Nova appears, and Meta Knight fights Galacta Knight instead of asking for parts because he’s a dumbass (and to be fair, he already collected most of what he needed.) Meta Knightmare Ultra comes before Milky Way Wishes so that Nova actually dies in the fight against Kirby and doesn’t somehow get revived by Meta Knight.

Dededetour pretty much just involves the last part. Dedede decides to head up to Floralia and help Taranza clean up the remains of Sectonia's Castle. He finds the Dimension Mirror and fights Shadow Dedede and Dark Meta Knight. Taranza probably also learns what caused Sectonia to go crazy (or at least gets a good idea of what happened). Also, Taranza and Dedede reconcile after the whole kidnapping thing and are now on fairly good terms with each other.

I have no idea how to handle Meta Knightmare Returns, honestly, cuz Kirby completely destroys Star Dream in his fight with it. I guess one idea could be that after being released from Susie’s control, Meta Knight is able to meet Star Dream, who puts him through all those trials. I dunno. The entire thing could also just not happen, but I feel like Galacta Knight appears so rarely that I shouldn’t do that.

I’m not sure which order Guest Star and Heroes in Another Dimension should be in. I have ideas for both cases:

The portal to Another Dimension opens up after Void Termina is fought. After coming to his senses at the end of Heroes in Another Dimension, Hyness realizes that sealing Galacta Knight away forever was kind of a dick move, so he decides to free him. The Star Allies don’t realize Hyness' good intentions and go to stop him, but Galacta Knight is still released. And then the whole thing with the butterfly happens. I’ve got no explanation for that.

Or, after Void Termina is defeated, a spiteful Hyness releases Galacta Knight in an attempt to unleash another galactic crisis. The summoning opens up the portal to Another Dimension, and Heroes in Another Dimension occurs after Morpho Knight is defeated.

One last thing: the Arena and True Arena never happen in this universe. Instead, though, extra forms like Star Dream Soul OS and Void are added to the story mode fight so that Kirby fully defeats the boss the first time around. The two exceptions to this are Marx and Magolor. Marx is rescued by Magolor before he can absorb Nova's power, so Marx Soul is never created. Magolor EX and Magolor Soul aren’t really necessary to include, so I’m thinking that the regular mode and extra mode forms are combined to have the appearance of the regular mode forms but the strength of the extra mode ones. Not that that really matters though, I guess. Oh, and also the arena short version of Magolor Soul's death scream (this one: https://youtu.be/wNrjR6gmpu8 ) is kept because that shit's creepy and depressing and I need it.

(? Umm, maybe it is just that person because the drawings look just great to me..!) Ok ok, question- Bandana Dee, where you the Waddle Dee that helped everyone out in the Crystal Shards adventure?

Bandana Dee: I-I just... Didn't have my bandana yet...

((Meta Knight when he's not answering asks))

Hey Dedede, why is your mallet semi-mechanical when you're in Smash, but just a plain one elsewhere?

I ship Meta Knight and Void Termina

"Hello! It's me again! I have a different set of survey questions! What is your favourite colour? And could you explain how it is your favourite colour?" (@zeros-witness)

Kirby: I like all colours! Especially bright ones!

Dedede: I like reds and oranges. That’s why a lot of my castle’s got those colours.

Meta Knight: Dark colours are useful when you don’t want to be seen.

Bandana Dee: Um… I like blue. L-like my bandana.

Magolor: Yeah, I’m with Bandee. Blue’s pretty cool. The Lor’s got a lot of blue.

Marx: My favourite colour? Uh… I guess the red and blue of my hat’s pretty nice?

Hey Magolor and Marx, when Kirby forgave you for what you did, were you surprised he forgave you?

Marx: Yeah, I was pretty surprised. He seemed a little hesitant at first when I asked to help stop those crazy cult guys with him, but he still let me join.

Marx: *shakes head with a smile* The kid's too trusting for his own good. He's lucky I wasn't planning to betray him again.

Magolor: I already knew how kind Kirby was, so I wasn't too surprised, just relieved. I'm really glad Kirby was willing to give me a second chance.

Magolor: I know a lot of people here are still wary of me, but Kirby seems to trust me completely. I... He's a really great guy.

Marx: I killed god for you what more do you want

Dedede: ...For you to not be a dick?

Can anyone do ZA WARUDO

((I’m not sure how clear this is, so… Basically, Magolor’s fixing the clock, and since the clock isn’t working it’s kinda like time has stopped. So, he decides to make a little joke, and Meta Knight’s having none of it.))

What it feels like to chew 5 gum? (Plz answer it)
