Yayyy! it's done..
(Waddle Doo has a panic attack! Proceed with caution if you’re sensitive to that stuff…)
High in the Bubbly Clouds, Veno was panicked. They either mutated Kracko, or offed him overall. If either one of those is what happened, Veno had to quickly return back to another dimension. There was a light thud. What was that? Or..who…? It was Waddle Doo! Crying…? He couldn’t exactly make it out..
Waddle Doo felt so chocked up, and the tears just kept falling down his face. He couldn’t breathe. Everything was going horrible. He probably got spotted by the king running away like that. He was doomed! He was so doomed…who knew what could’ve happened to Kracko too..Veno was beyond confused. Waddle Doo looked like a mess. Just what is going on?? This world is so weird.
“H-Hey…” Veno started, his voice way softer than he intended. “What’s wrong with-” Veno was going to criticize, but they stopped. This seems like it’s not the time, and Veno had something else they needed to prioritize. But what..what was their name..? Veno puzzled. “What..is your name…?” Waddle doo wheezed, unable to focus. “Hey, I-I asked you something.” Veno said sternly. Waddle Doo finally made eye contact with Veno, but he still couldn’t breathe properly and was shaking uncontrollably. “What’s your name?” Veno asked again, somewhat slower so Waddle Doo could catch his words.
“Wa-” He gasped. “Waddle D-Doo…” Veno felt a bit uneasy. Just talking to Waddle Doo so casually felt so..off…but..it felt so…nice doing this…it felt like he was getting somewhere despite not knowing what’s going on. “How did you get here? Like…where did you go after running off with Kracko…?” Veno asked. “We—we went to Castle Dedede- but- it all went wrong! I- I-” Veno cut Waddle Doo off. “I didn’t ask for that. Take a breath.” Veno sat down and patted the spot next to them. “Sit.”
Waddle Doo took deep shaky breaths. He was sort of calming down. “Where is Kracko?” Veno asked. Waddle Doo sat down next to them. “H-he- he’s still i-in the castle…” Waddle Doo couldn’t help but worry. After he peeked from the wall, Kracko was on the floor..! He doesn’t know what went wrong…!! What could be happening to him? “The king probably executed him by now…!” Waddle Doo yelped, covering his face with his hands and sobbing loudly into them.
“You’re overreacting.” Veno rolled his eyes. “Try breathing properly instead of running your mouth.” They sneered. Waddle Doo did as told, trying to take the deepest breaths he could. In and out…it took a while, but Waddle Doo could finally breathe easy. “Do you…know what happened to Master Kracko-?” Waddle Doo asked.
“I poisoned him.” Veno said flatly. They didn’t even bat an eye. “You-” Waddle Doo sputtered, “You WHAT!? WHY YOU- WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?” Veno didn’t really care much, they looked down and swung their legs. “I didn’t poison him on purpose. Tone it down.” They replied dismissively. “I’m poisonous to touch. I was try-” “WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY ANYTHING!?”
Veno twitched in annoyance. “I was TRYING to say that, but you two dimwits ran off before I could warn you.” Veno growled.
“…oh.” Waddle Doo looked down, embarrassed. “Since you’re sooooo persistent…how are you going to get that thunderhead back?” Veno halfheartedly asked. “Will you help me…?” Veno looked at Waddle Doo like he had 5 heads. They cackled like a maniac, then straightened up. Veno cleared their throat emitting a horrid smell, and with a straight face said: “No.”
Waddle Doo swatted the gas cloud away from his eye. “No? What do you mean no!? It’s your fault that this happened! Fix it!!” Waddle Doo raised his voice. Veno didn’t care though. They just didn’t feel like it. “I’ll leave you to it.” Veno said, walking off. “Where are you going-? You can’t leave, you need to fix this!” Veno lifted up a hand. “I can leave,” A poisonous smoke screen began to form around him. “, and I will.” Purple clouds devoured Veno and before Waddle Doo could get to them, Veno was gone.
“…oh nova…” Waddle Doo coughed, standing up and walking away from the horrible stench. Waddle Doo walked all around the Bubbly Clouds. He would need help. He can’t fight King Dedede alone…he needed another cloud to help him though.
“Waddle Doo!! Heyyyy!” A voice called out. Waddle Doo looked around, confused. “Over here!” Simirror waved, along with Gordo and Puffy. “Oh! Hi Simirror, Gordo, Puffy! What are you three doing here..?” Waddle Doo asked. “All of you don’t really visit…”
“Oh! I just didn’t want to be caught in the rain…Dreamland also looks really nice from up here…the grass is so shimmery!” Simirror answered. Gordo nodded along in agreement. Dreamland does look very nice from up high. “I heard lotsa commotion from up high..all of that lightin’ jolted me awake…I came up here to see what was goin’ on…” Puffy said.
“I see…” Waddle Doo felt a bit bad for waking Puffy up. “What are you doing up here and out so late Waddle Doo?” Simirror asked. “And where’s Kracko?” Puffy asked. “You guys are like two peas in a pod. Y’all never separate!” Gordo nodded along with a look of uncertainty. “Oh- um..ma- uh- Kracko is sleeping right now, and I um..couldn’t sleep…” Waddle Doo lied. It kinda hurt to just say he went missing.
Gordo made a commotion. “What’s wrong Gordo-?” Simirror asked. Gordo made a lot of hand gestures before just grabbing a clump of clouds and sculpting it into different distinct little pieces. One of them looked like a cloud with two big horns in the front of its face, while the other looked like a regular horns all over. “Is this one..Kracko…?” Simirror asked. Gordo nodded. Then Gordo shook their head and moved the Kracko cloud away.
“Ugh..I’m no good at sharades..” Puffy admitted. “What do you think Waddle Doo?” Waddle Doo recognized the horned cloud. The name was right on his tongue. “I..don’t know…” Waddle Doo thought. Gordo scratched their head. They didn’t know what or who this other cloud was, but they vaguely remember where they saw the cloud. Gordo tapped everyone and then pointed up. “Eh?” “What?” “…huh…?” Gordo tossed the horned cloud up high, and then pointed back up again. “Oh! I got it!!” Simirror yelled. “The cloud is higher up, in Old Odyssey!” Gordo nodded profusely.
Old Odyssey..that’s where- “DX!! I can go up and find her!” Waddle Doo said. “DX?” Puffy asked. “Is uh…is 'DX' another cloud? Like Kracko?” Waddle Doo nodded. “Yeah! Just like him!” Simirror scoffed. “Good thing you know her…maybe you can tell her to calm down with the rain! How about I go up there right now-” Simirror stood up. “N-no!!” Waddle Doo instinctively yelled, standing up as well. “U-um…” Waddle Doo stammered. “I know the clouds really well…! And um…I-I could bring up the issue to them in a…calmer..manner…?”
The silence could kill someone, until Simirror spoke up. "I guess you're right…" He sighed. "I think I would lose my temper if I had a chat with that cloud…" Simirror nervously laughed. Gordo gave a thumbs up and nodded. It thought the idea was pretty good. Puffy shrugged. "I guess that sounds good, yeah."
“Great!” Waddle Doo said, walking away from the group. “Have a great night…!” Gordo waved, as did Puffy. “See ya.” “Bye Waddle Doo!!” Simirror called out, giving Waddle Doo little shines as he walked away with their mirror wand.
Walking up to Old Odyssey takes a while to get up to, but Waddle Doo eventually gets up there. The sky had a beautiful blue tint as Waddle Doo gets closer to the castle-like structure and pretty glistening waterfalls. He forgot how nice it was up in Floralia. The scenery makes him a bit drowsy…
Now isn’t the time to fall asleep! Despite Waddle Doo walking for a long time, he finally made it to the very top of the castle. “DX..? DX…!! I need a favor!!” Waddle Doo called out. His voice echoed through the clouds, making him feel a bit uneasy.
“Waddly Doodle!!” A tornado spun in what used to be a bunch of clouds, revealing another bigger cloud. It was DX! Her two puffs and two horns made her easy to recognize, along with her bubbly attitude. She was different though, as she was only part cloud, and mostly magic. She was created by a spider wizard called Taranza to aid him in Sectonia’s reign but after she grew her horns, Taranza stopped visiting. She never knew why…
“ Oh..you're just Waddle Doo..” DX realized.
“Wait...why are you up here? Aren't you lower in the Bubbly Clouds? With the...regular Kracko...?” DX questioned. Not only was this visit unexpected, DX wasn’t particularly waiting for Waddle Doo. “I would be with Master Kracko, but he’s him trouble…” Waddle Doo said. “But I...really need your help to save him…”
“ Can't Kracko defend himself? He often acts like king of the clouds and all..” DX asked, a bit unconvinced.
“W-well, yes- but he was poisoned…!” Waddle Doo responded.
“Mmm..I think he should try and walk it off. Or-!! Why can’t you go down there alone? You have electricity like no other!”
“Uh- thank you..but I can’t go alone! Dedede, Kirby, and uh- um…some Waddle Dee is holding him captive!”
DX froze. “Dedede…? That snobby king?”
“Y-yeah..him…!” Waddle Doo answered.
DX giggled. “Please! Last I checked, that horrible excuse for a king was slouched over while Mister Taranza took him away! He’s probably gone by now-!” DX laughed at the thought of him still being alive. It was just so silly! Waddle Doo was dumbfounded. “You need to get with the times…” Waddle Doo muttered.
“Whatever happend to Master Kracko, weak or strong, can you please help me…?” Waddle Doo begged. “I don’t know what the king could be doing with him, but I just want him to be okay, and back up here…” He sorrowfully said. “Alright, alright..!” DX interrupted. “How hard could it be-?”
Waddle Doo’s eyes sparkled with hope. “Ohhh- thank you thank you thank youu!!”
“BUT!!” DX cut Waddle Doo’s endless cycle of thanking her off. “I need rest.”
Waddle Doo stammered. “R-rest!? But-”
“I hate to say it, but I’ve been up a whileee…waiting for someone who’s probably not coming until a loooong while later. Judging by the looks of you, in such a state of disarray, you need a rest too.” DX said. Waddle was going to rebuttal, but knew it would all fall upon deaf ears. DX sat down, and Waddle Doo sat next to her. They rested until the sun rose over Floralia again.

(OOOOOOHHH I HOPE YOU GUYS WEREN'T WAITING FOR TOO LONG!! This Chapter is 1,000% worth the wait! (ALSO. There’s a panic attack in this chapter. Though the panic attack is minor, I don’t wanna take any chances not warning you. Enjoy reading!
The storm was now a light drizzle. Everything was peaceful, except for the two figures marching toward Castle Dedede.
Waddle Doo was increasingly nervous the closer he got. He ran away from Castle Dedede to be back with Kracko, his true king. Waddle Doo was never a real Waddle Dee, just a leader to make sure they stayed in line.
Now he was filled with anxiety. The king takes treason VERY seriously. It’s like he knew that word the day he came out of the stars, or wherever he was from. Tap tap! “H-huh-?” Waddle Doo snapped back to reality. Kracko looked at Waddle Doo expectingly, then back at the large drawbridge.
“Oh! The drawbridge-?” Kracko nodded. He slowly lifted a finger, ready to strike the bridge down by force. “N-no master!” Kracko seized. “We’ll make a ton of noise if we go this way…we should come in through the back.” Kracko looked at Waddle Doo like he had two heads. Waddle Doo looked away, embarrassed. “No master…the moat is only for show…there’s no water in the back.” Kracko looked at Waddle Doo, wide eyed. “No water.” What kind of castle DIDN'T have water...??
Waddle Doo and Kracko walked to the backside of the castle and he was right! There was no water…weird… “The king didn’t really make the most..intellectual decisions…” Waddle Doo said, quietly opening the door and looking for any guards. This area was never watched, but he just wanted to be sure. “Clear…” Waddle Doo whispered, and Kracko followed behind.
The castle hallways in the back was always a bit cold, but one he got to the center, it was warmer. Bright lights lit up the hallways, and the soft and smooth red carpet led the one eyed duo down the hallways. They seemed to be having no luck however. Kirby was nowhere to be found. Maybe Kracko saw the Waddle Dees carrying them off somewhere else…he began to doubt maybe-
A loud shout echoed through the halls. Kracko jumped, tripping and falling onto Waddle Doo. “Ack-! Master- y-you’re heavy-!” Waddle Doo strained. Kracko got up, dusting himself from the fall. While Waddle Doo was gasping for air, Kracko walked off. He recognized that voice. That cheer. That happiness he envied for. It was…
“Kirby…!!” Bandana Dee whined. “You need to have these vitamins..!!” Kirby turned away like a toddler. “Gummies…” Kirby said, with a face that looked like they lost their little robot puppy. “We have yet to get more gummies Kirby…I’m sorry…” Kirby pondered, and then put up a pleading little act. “Gummies…?” Kirby pleaded. Bandana Dee chuckled. “Pleading won’t make them come any quicker Kirby…” They frowned. “Aw…”
Their happiness made Kracko claw at the wall. Kirby looks so happy..why can’t he be that happy? It’s not fair!
Kracko was about to march right in there but was being tugged on. It was Waddle Doo! “N-no master Kracko..!” He whispered. “Not yet..! We should do it while Kirby’s alone..!!” Kracko seized. He didn’t really like waiting, but if it meant getting rid of Kirby, he’d do anything.
Kirby finally gulped down the vitamins, after much resistance. “Bleh..” They exaggerated. Bandana Dee rolled his eyes and chuckled. “I never knew there was a food you wouldn’t eat..” Kirby giggled. Kirby then made a face that meant business, which caught Bandana off guard. “W-wanya..?” He questioned, intimidated. “Toomato?” Kirby raised an eyebrow.
Bandana laughed. “S-sure Kirby..let me just make sure you’re able to get up..” Bandana Dee took one of Kirby’s hands. “Stand?” Kirby moved the blacker off of them and stood up. Their legs shook a little bit, since they were lying down for so long. “Mhn-! Oh..?” Kirby loosened up. He can stand! “Yayy!!” Kirby did a little dance with Bandana. “Woah! Haha- Kirby…!!” They both laughed together like two little kids.
Kracko could explode from how angry he was. How come he got to be so happy? It’s not fair!! Kracko clawed at the wall he was hiding behind, nearly giving him a cramp in his hand. “Master Kracko…” Waddle Doo tried to calm Kracko down, but instead got the back of his head grabbed. That really hurt! Waddle Doo yelped. “Gah—!” The grab caught him off guard, and when Waddle Doo is caught off guard, he shoots a ball of lightning from his eye. It was no different here, and it was uncontrollable. The lightning ball quickly shot out and threw a bed into the air with a devastating BOOM!!! “AH!!” “WANYA!?” Kirby and Bandana Dee panicked.
Where did that come from!? “AH!” “W-WANYA-!!” Kirby and Bandana Dee ducked under a bed. “Who- wa- who was that..!?” Bandana Dee gasped. “Dunno…!” Kirby panicked. Both Kirby and Bandana Dee looked at each other, and nodded. Kirby peeked up to see who attacked, and Bandana Dee used the Sparking Stars to summon a spear for him. Kirby quickly dived back down, panic all over their face. “Wanya-? Who’s there..? What’s wro-”
“Kracko..!!” Kirby said. “WHAT!? H-how did he get here…!?” “Dunno!!” More dust cleared up, and a purple hue shined above Kirby and Bandana Dee’s heads. The color nearly drained from their faces when they saw the jagged lightning bolt lodged into a wall just a foot or less over their heads.
“AH! Bandana!?” King Dedede recognized that scream. Not only was it Bandana, it was pure distress. Dedede looked over his balcony, looking down at Whispy Woods. The Dees were celebrating, throwing their sparkling stars into the sky. They’d take a while until they all returned. Perfect.
That’s enough time to clobber that there intruder! King Dedede turned around and pulled out his hammer, dashing towards the screams.
“S-stay back..! Don’t hurt Kirby…!!” Banana Dee pointed his spear at Kracko, but got blasted back by Waddle Doo. “WANYAAA-!!!” “Banana!!” Kirby caught Bandana who was tumbling towards a wall. “S-stop…!” Kirby yelled. Just why was this all happening? All Kirby wanted to do was sleep..Kracko got even closer. It was…unfair to sneak up on Kirby while he was down, but this would all be worth it. The ends shall justify the means.
“GET OUTTA MY CASTLEEEE!!!” With a mighty swing of his hammer, Dedede sent Kracko hurling away.
“Dede!!” Kirby exclaimed.
“Great King…!!” Bandana said with tears in his eyes, relieved.
“Sire…!?” Waddle Doo instinctively yelped. This caught him off guard!
“F-Former Waddle Doo-!?” Bandana peeked over the bed, and so did Kirby. It was Waddle Doo! “Doo!!” Kirby called. Waddle Doo couldn’t feel any more uneasy. This is horrible! What if he gets wanted posters plastered all over Cappytown? What will the Cappies think!? He shrieked behind the wall he before hid with Kracko. This couldn’t be happening..he wanted to disappear. He felt like he was losing his breath under all of the pressure…
King Dedede was beyond upset. Who did this cloud think it was!? “Ya stormed into my castle!!” Dedede lunged at Kracko and lifted him up. Upon dropping him, Dedede used his hammer to slam Kracko back into another wall. “Hurt MY Waddle Dees!!” Kracko narrowly dodged the hammer aimed towards his face. “And now ya tryna fight me!!!” Dedede slammed his hammer down again, in another attempt to pound Kracko’s face in, but missed.
Kracko dodged and took the chance to trip Dedede. While the king was on the ground, Kracko summoned a little cloud. By stomping on the cloud, it created a mini hailstorm. Little icicles scratched up Dedede’s face and put holes in his gloves, agitating him. While Dedede was distracted, Kracko created another cloud and used it to ram into Dedede. Kracko made yet another cloud to hail onto Dedede, but this cloud was..different…
It let out twice as much hail, but only lasted a second. Kirby, realizing there was no more pounding, took a look. Kracko looked sickly…purple!? Kracko loosened up, trying to summon another hail cloud, but failed due to his little consciousness. What was going on…? Kracko tried to retreat, but fell over. Everything was blurry and fading. Why is this happening…?
Dedede noticed Kracko’s horrible state, and took advantage of it. Dedede attached his hammer to his back, and backhand slapped Kracko with as much force possible. Kracko folded like a piece of paper, and lost consciousness.
Kirby and Bandana Dee took a peek. “Over..?” Kirby anxiously whispered. “Wanya…” Bandana Dee quivered. “'parently so.” Dedede took a deep breath. “WHAT IS GOIN’ ONNNN!?” He kicked Kracko’s unconscious body out of spite. “'M ready to go hit the hay.” Dedede mumbled. Kirby and Bandana Dee walked out from behind the bed. “Thank you so much Great King! Y-you can head back to bed now..just…what to we do with..um…”
“Kracko.” Kirby said, knelt over his unconscious body. “Y-yeah. Him.” Bandana Dee finished. “Eh, do whatever.” The king said dismissively. “I say put ‘im in the dungeon-” “No!” Kirby shouted, cutting the king off. “Help…” Kirby looked at Kracko pitifully.
Kirby didn’t fully grasp that Kracko wanted their head, but Kirby didn’t want to just throw him out like that! Abandonment is sad and lonely, and Kirby hated sadness and loneliness. “Nova…” The king was cranky. He just wanted to go back to sleep now, as the sudden wake up from the fire is getting back to him. “Fine, fine. Stay. Do whatever! Just…don’t make a big ol’ racket. It’s late…” The king caved.
“G-Great King…” Bandana started, but Dedede cut him off. “Wake up the other Dees for their night shift, and make sure this here nursery gets a good cleanin’. Understood?” Bandana Dee saluted. “Yes Great King! I won’t let you down!” “Good. The castle’s all yours for now.” King Dedede waked off to his room. More importantly, his comfy king-sized bed.
Bandana turned toward Kirby and began jumping for joy. “WAWAWAAA!! THE GREAT KING LEFT ME IN CHARGE OF THE CASTLEEE!!” Kirby nearly feel over…that was kinda loud... “Yayy..!” Kirby gave him a little applause, though they didn’t understand what was so special about it.
Kirby turned towards Kracko. They didn’t know why Kracko did what he did, but Kracko seemed really hurt… “Idea!”
Kirby ran over to where all of the medical supplies is. “Kirby-? What are you looking for? Wanya..?” Bandana asked.
“Bility!” Kirby replied.
“A copy ability..? Why??”
“Help-!” Kirby answered, grabbing a stethescope and absorbing it. Before Bandana Dee knew what Kirby was doing, a white coat draped down to their feet, and sleeves covered their hands. Little circular glasses appeared on his face, and a headlamp was tied by a big blue band. It was Dr. Kirby!
Bandana Dee really dislikes that ability. Bandana Dee unknowingly gave Kirby a disappointed stare.
“Who patient?” Dr. Kirby asked. Bandana Dee pointed to Kracko’s unconscious body. Kirby lugged Kracko’s big body over them with ease, placing him nicely on the bed. “Hmmmm…” Dr. Kirby mumbled. “H-how are you gonna..um…‘help’..him Kirby..?” Bandana as- “Dr. Kaabi.” Dr. Kirby corrected. Bandana Dee’s face dropped. “R-right.”
Dr. Kirby took a stepping stool and got a closer look at Kracko. “Mmmm..” Dr. Kirby felt his head, and took out a little clipboard and scribbled things down. “Hot…” Dr. Kirby looked at Kracko, who was shaking. “Mm..jiggy.” Scribble scribble. Dr. Kirby fixed their glasses, and looked at his torso. Dr Kirby poked around until Kracko winced when Dr. Kirby poked a certain area. That must be where Dedede hit Kracko with his hammer, it’ll leave a mark. Scribble scribble. “Boo boo.”
Kirby was about to put the clipboard away until he got one more look at Kracko. Something was wrong. Kracko was.. “Purple…?”

Thunder boomed and lightning crashed. It was a rainy night in Dreamland, but everybody was sleeping soundly through the rough night.
BOOM!! Lightning slammed closely next to Kirby's house, waking the hero up in a cold sweat.
Kirby never liked lightning, it always made him gloomy and a bit scared. The lightning was loud enough to make Kirby flinch every time, and become even more scared.
With lightning crashing down, Kirby merged with the copy ability, transforming into wheel Kirby. He transformed into a hot pink wheel and rolled off to Castle Dedede. Kirby didn't want to sleep alone during a storm this scary, so he was gonna sleep at castle Dedede with Bandana Waddle Dee.
CRASH!! "AH!!" Lightning threw Kirby off and losing his balance, he transformed out of his wheel form to take a terrible tumble. Kirby lifted his head from the soggy grass he tumbled into, gazing in fear at the dancing lightning ahead of him. Kirby tensed up. He didn't want to go through lightning to get to Castle Dedede..but it was the fastest way...he was gonna have to take a shortcut! Kirby transformed back into his wheel form and sped through Whispy Woods, dodging the lightning blocking his path.
Lightning was crashing everywhere, around the forest, but at least there was only a couple drops of rain. Kirby transformed out of his wheel form. If he went too fast, he was bound to get lost or just go in circles all night. While walking through the woods, reality hit him like a semi-truck. Where was he going?? He should've thought this through..if they were going to go through the woods, they'd have to know their way out.
Kirby could probably go off to find Whispy and get directions- "EEK!!"
"Oh…?" Kirby looked around. Who was that?
"Whispy Woods is doomed..doomed...!! I-I gotta find somebody!"
Flying quickly above Kirby's head was Bronto Burt! But what was he panicking for? Before Kirby was able to ask, Bronto Burt was gone!
"Hmm…" Kirby kept on walking ahead, and upon doing that heard more noises of distress. The little inhabitants and small beings in the forest started running out of the forest too! Kirby had to find out what was wrong now. Why were they run- "Eeek!! Fireee!!!" A little Chip squealed out, hopping away. A fire!? Kirby began to run towards the source, but stopped when he saw Birdon fly by. If Kirby could use his wing ability, he could probably put out the fire!
"Birdy!!"
"C-caw!?" Birdon squawked. "Kirby- what are you doing here…!?" "Need!" Kirby yelled out to Birdon. "Wha..??" Kirby clasped his hands close to his heart, and opened his arms to reveal a small (controlled) black hole. It began to pull Birdon in. "K-Kirby!? What are you doing- I-I gonna go!! Stop! STOPP!!" Birdon turned around, and in self defence, performed a Boomer Heading! "Poyooo!!" Kirby squealed, slamming hard into the damp grass, and getting cut by stuck out branches. He lost his ability, and was in too much pain to stand. What could he do now..?
"G-Great King! Great Kiiiiiiingg!!!" Yelled an anxious little Dee nearly falling over, Bandana Dee burst into King Dedede’s room.
“Great King! I-it’s an emergency!!” The groggy king rose from under his covers and looked at Bandana Dee, he was a bit cranky being woken up like this at such a late time. “What d‘ya wantt..it’s late y..” The king let out a large yawn. “Y’know,.this better be important..!” “Y-yes Great King, it is! Whispy Woods caught on fire from the storm! I-it’s a huge fire!!”
“Mmgrmm..whassat gotta do with me..? Call Whispy..” The king grumbled.
“We can’t Great King! Whispy might be in the fire too!” Panicked Bandana Waddle Dee.
“So whatt..!?”
“Great King, people can get hurt!!” King Dedede blinked, processing what Bandana Dee just said. Even though he was super tired, the words stuck to him and the gears turned. "Hurt..??" The king mumbled.
"Y-yes Great King!"
"FIRE!?" He was finally catching on. "Why ain't ‘ya say so sooner!?" The king scrambled out of bed. "Get the Fire-Dees! Get out there!!" He demanded. "Y-yes Great King!!” Bandana Dee ran off to alert the other Dees.
CRASH!! Kirby laid weakly upon the wet grass and mud. He was so cold, and so scared. Kirby curled up, shivering from the cold drops of water lightly punting him. CRASH!!!! Somebody stood before Kirby. He brightened up just a little bit. Surely if somebody saw him on the floor like this, they'd help him! Kirby looked up all to see a not-so-happy-nor-helpful-face. It was the god of the clouds themself, Kracko.
Maybe Kirby could get a helping hand? No…That's not what Kracko was there for...Kracko came for something way different. Kracko and Kirby have had some history with each other. Kirby always ran into Kracko at many points in time, either it was him, a mech, a hologram, frail little pieces of yarn, a painting, anything. Kracko was always a hurdle for Kirby to jump over, and it was always so embarrassing to think about. Losing to a mere BABY.
This time would be different however. All of the rage from losing again and again and again and again. Now, Kracko would finally win. And this win would be an achievement to celebrate forever, only ending when the sky is clear of clouds. Kirby started to loosen up the tension all over him. Maybe Kracko had a change of heart, and would take him to the castle. Kracko felt like he won the lottery. Kirby was so weak, cold, and easy to finish off now. Kracko could finally win.
"Does everyone have the sparkling stars?" Bandana Dee shouted. "Wanya!!" All of the Waddle Dees replied. "Do we also have water?" Bandana Dee asked. "Wa!!" Replied all of the Dees. "Spray the water!!”
“You seven, get closer!" The seven Dees Bandana Dee pointed out got closer to the fire, spraying it with their hose. “N-no- you all need to go in the forest…” The dees looked at each other, and two scooted away. “Wanya…” “Wa…” Those two were scared. Bandana Dee sighed. “Alright, you two can go back to the castle and get two more sparkling stars. You five, get deeper into the forest! You need to find the root of the fire and cool it down.” The two dees nodded, and the other five ran in with the hose, deeper into the forest.
Kracko looked left and right. Nobody would see him do it. Then Kracko’s face loosened up. He finally won. He finally did it! Victory was his..CRASH! And he was going to make sure it lasted long. Out of the lightning everywhere, Kracko got all of the electricity around him. Zaps and sparks formed around his raised arm, and created a blade of pure lightning.
Kirby, whose face was full or weak hope, turned to fear pretty quickly. Maybe they could talk it out…? CRASH! Kracko didn’t seem interested in talking it out. Kracko grabbed Kirby by his shirt, lifting him up. “A-ah…!” Kirby squeaked. He trembled, being held so high and so threateningly. If Kracko had a mouth, he’d have a big twisted smile smeared across his face.
“Down! P-put me- down!” Kirby struggled, squirming in Kracko’s grasp. He had to make it quick then.
With force and spite, Kracko threw Kirby into a nearby tree, making him fall unconscious. And disappearing in another CRASH! Kracko left Kirby cold and alone, in the mud.
"Wanya.." Whimpered a Waddle Dee.
"D-don't worry..! There's barely any fire left...!" Comforted another Dee.
"Wanya! W-we'll be done soon..! I see another fire!" Said another dee, walking closer to the fire and hosing it down. One Dee looked away from the fire, spotting a faint light near a tree. “Wanya…?” The Waddle Dee peeked from behind a tree, their face going from curiosity to fear, shock, and concern. “Wa..WANYA!!” The Waddle Dee jumped, calling for another Waddle Dee.
“Go check on them!”
“Huh..? Me?”
“Mhm! They’re calling for somebody. You can go! We’ll put out the rest of the fire.”
“O-okay..” The Dee waddled off to the other Waddles Dee. They were shaking somebody who was unconscious. The other Waddle Dee squinted until realizing that unconscious person..that’s.. “K-Kirby..!? Oh…ohhhh…wanyaa…c-cmon...! We gotta tell Leader Bandana!!” The Waddle Dee grabbed Kirby by the legs and dragged him a bit until the other Dee picked up Kirby from their upper body, and they sprint off.
“Leader Bandanaa!!” Called out a Waddle Dee. “Wawawa!!” Squealed another. Bandana Dee turned around. “Wanya-? W-wait- why aren’t you two at the fiiiii..K-KIRBY…!?” Bandana Dee nearly fell back. He finally realized the two Waddle Dees were holding an unconscious person, and that person just happend to be his bestest friend in the whole universe. He ran to the two Dees that had Kirby in their arms and analyzed him.
“S-scratches all over his face..he’s bleeding in his head..n-nova…he’s so cold too…w-why is his shirt so stretched ou-” Bandana Dee was cut off. “W-what should we do with him Leader Bandana..!?” The Waddle Dee asked hastily. “S-sorry..” Bandana Dee cleared his throat. “Take Kirby to the castle infirmary! I’ll get there when-”
Suddenly, the Waddle Dees erupted into cheers. The fire is put out, and the Dees that went deeper into the fire came out okay! Bandana Dee looked over to the celebrating, and back at Kirby, then to the two Dees holding him. The Waddle Dees who are holding Kirby had their eyes locked onto the celebration. "You two can go!" The two Waddle Dees looked at their leader, a bit confused. “Wa-?” “Huh?” Bandana Dee’s demeanor changed. “Well, you two did help out with the fire…you deserve to celebrate too!” Bandana Dee knew what it was like to help with a big cause, but get the bare minimum as a reward. He didn’t want a single Waddle Dee to feel like that.
Buuuuttt…it was also a big lie. Bandana Dee wanted some alone time with Kirby. Not for cuddles and snacks, (though that would be nice,) but for answers. Nobody could lay a finger on Kirby without getting told what’s what, so how could Kirby be so scratched up? Who could’ve done this to him? Bandana Dee didn’t want two innocent little waddlers to get the answer and be horrified about what could happen to them. Waddle Dees are timid little creatures!
Bandana Dee took Kirby from the two Waddle Dees and dismissed them, picking up an extra parasol from the ground and walking off to Mt Dedede. Thanks to all of the Megaton Punch Bandana Dee practiced, picking up Kirby was a breeze. After a while, Kirby and Bandana Dee arrived at the castle. Bandana couldn’t help taking a deep breath, finally being safe and sound in the castle.
Bandana gently laid Kirby down on the infirmary bed and got the supplies needed to treat Kirby’s wound. It’s not much, but he was found in the dirt. Dirt may have gotten in his scratches. Better safe than sorry! Bandana Dee grabbed some bandages and alcohol and little gauze pads to wipe off any dirt or blood, and bandaged deeper wounds. Bandana Dee changed out of his old gloves, and put on cleaner ones so she can wipe Kirby’s wounds. Bandana swept the blood and dirt off of Kirby, making them wince a little. “S-sorry…” Bandana whispered.
Bandana Dee continued to clean up the rest of the dirt in Kirby’s scratches despite his guilt clawing at him to stop, seeing them wincing in pain so much.
“Mmn…poyo…” Kirby mumbled, in a bit of a whine. He sat up. “Hm…?” Where was he? Kirby examined the area around themselves before spotting Bandana, a friend! His best friend. Kirby waved to Bandana happily, but his signature ‘Hiiii!’ didn’t come out. Only a sharp breath. There were often times where they couldn’t let out words, only a mutter or gasp, but this was the worst time! It took until Bandana grabbed the bandages to notice Kirby was awake. “Wa- oh! H-hi Kirby..!” Bandana Dee said, but his smile faded when Kirby wasn’t as cheery back. “What’s wrong..?” Bandana asked, only to get no answer. Kirby fiddled with his hands, trying not to cry out of frustration and pain from all of the cuts and scratches.
“Oh..” Bandana Dee said under his breath, realizing what was going on. Kirby felt even more overwhelmed. They’re concerning their friend, and it was making them feel so guilty… “Y-you don’t have to worry about speaking right now..I can ask you some yes or no questions!” Kirby looked at Bandana Dee in shock, which quickly turned into happiness. Bandana Dee completely understood! Kirby thought they’d have to answer every grueling question, slowly swelling up the lump in his throat..but he didn’t! Kirby lit up and nodded, eager to answer any questions sent their way.
Kirby’s happiness was contagious, causing Bandana Dee to smile and giggle with them. They began patching Kirby up while asking questions about what happened, and Kirby answered most of them with ease.

To clear up a bit of confusion, just in case
Kirby is autistic, and semi verbal. What they say will be spelled wrong intentionally to convey their words a bit better. (I can change that if it’s offensive in any way to others with autism.)
Sometimes Waddle Dees say ‘wanya’ intentionally and unintentionally. It’s in their culture, and some are just born like that.
Dedede has an accent just like the 4kids English dub.
I really hope you enjoyed reading this!

I might reblog things though! (Just less often.)
Here’s some Void Termina art as a goodbye gift!
Epilogue!
All of their happy faces are stained around every corner, taunting your arrogance and stupidity. What have you done…?
ALSO HAPPY (LATE) BIRTHDAY MY SILLY DUDE!!
So sorry I couldn’t give the poor guy a proper birthday gift..😞
Miracle Matter's theme has been spiraling in my head for quite a while..so I made this!
Au or Parallel!
I did both! I think Parallel Susie’s design is really cool, so she was the one who was drawn today! The au is the Kirby But Human au, where an ancient scientist had a failed experiment that caused anyone who came in contact with Popstar would be transformed into humans!
Royal!
I’m actually listening to Man On The Internet’s Moonstruck Blossom cover right now!
Headcanon!
Two super cool facts about your super cool king!
After the whole Star Allies fiasco, Dedede started to get super strong in his arms, giving him muscles!
While fighting Void Termina, they unleashed a spike attack that cut a nasty scar on his shoulder. He thinks it makes him look kinda cool though!
I made references for all of my Kirby But Human designs!! It took a month or two, but now everything is here! I'll probably reblog with headcanons or something like that soon.
Have some Soul Of Sectonia art.
Alts down here!
Trying to get a bit creative here. I'm coloring in some of the outlines for my art because soon enough, the black will look a little...eeeeeeeh....
Bonus (I just love the Moonstruck Blossom background. It's so beautiful💙)
I hope this gets posted, I'm not really fond of scheduling posts for later times..
(Forgive me if I spelled 'gracias' wrong, Spainish isn't my first language!)
In my au, Meta Knight is Hispanic, just like the English Kirby Right Back At Ya dub!
(I genderbent your Meta Knight btw) Im tired you guys. I need to catch my zs.
This was fun to do!!
Hey hey! Bonus here!
Dark Meta Knight’s head and little thingy I wanted to add
“This is MY month!”
“Too bad.”
I was stressed..I couldn’t post this fast enough and things were distracting and ughhhh…but whatever!! It’s posted!
“It seems I have done something incorrect..” if you couldn’t read my handwriting.
(He put oil on the grill. Dummy…)
*Drops this off and doesn't do all the other ones*
Cookie Country!!
Actually, I headcanon the group regroups in Nutty Noon. All of them went to different areas alone.
Bandana Waddle Dee goes to Cookie Country
Meta Knight goes to Raisin Ruins
Kirby goes to Onion Ocean
and finally, King Dedede goes to White Wafers.
After everybody collects the parts, they all find the parts in Nutty Noon. They also go to Halcandra and travel as a group too.
Wanna hear more headcanons? I'd love to share!!
Stupid spider
(No, I’m not adding a s because the other spider is dead. RAAAAGH!!)
Why can’t I stop thinking of this abandonment issued spider and his dead lover. I get that he’s lonely and will do anything to revive his long dead lover, but that doesn’t mean I should be thinking about it NON-STOP.
(I’m not mad, this is mostly a joke, but it’s just..woah…)
I wanna say that in RTDL, he and everyone else had to take a little break because of how cold White Wafers was. (They had a ton of Hot Chocolate too from Magolor! What a nice friend..)
I thought I wouldn’t get this done in enough time, but I did!! Happy May 4th!
I had to and I wanted to and I did (I drew both versions too!)
every Kirby artist please draw Marx eating big bag of marshmallows please :)
(Context lmao)
