Shadow Kirby

Meta Knight had been keeping hsi eye on King Dedede as always, as he liked to know exactly when a demon beast was going to come through that portal. This time, however, Dedede had taken a different route and purchased promising mirror or darkness, as the service man had said. The serviceman had not supplied much information on the mirror, only that beings of pure darkness were rumored to manifest themselves form behind the mirror. Days passed, and the mirror remained levitating in the throne room, having nor stirred since being purchased. King Dedede had since lost interest, and was attempting to trick NME into a return for the full purchase price. Right.

Meta Knight, on the other hand, had remained keen on discovering just what this mirror was capable or not capable of, and had it in sights, or that of Sword and Blade, to avoid a surprise. NME didn’t often sell duds, and Meta Knight was not going to let anything get past him.

It had been a week, and Meta Knight observed the mirror intently from behind a pillar. Meta Knight didn’t expect to be anything but bored, but it wasn’t long before he noticed a change in the mirror. The surface appeared to be creating ripples, colors radiating from the waves. Meta Knight peeked out from behind the pillar a little farther, when the movement suddenly stopped. A silence rang through the room, and what felt like an eternity passed, when suddenly the mirror rippled violently, casting out a small, dark grey figure. Meta Knight retreated back behind the pillar to avoid being seen, and took a moment to listen.

Meta Knight heard a small mumbling before he took another gander and again peering around the pillar into the room, and he was immediately drawn to the…. Kirby? The being that stood before him was an exact replica of Kirby, only grey scale. he had heard someone mumbling, which also must mean this Kirby could speak more than the average “poyo.” 

Meta Knight wasn’t quite sure how to react, a million possibilities for this occasion running through his mind. 

Shadow Kirby kept looking around as he was trying to figure what his next move should be... Maybe it was best the check the room to see if the dark knight was hiding in the room even if that was most unlikely... He took note of the throne chair as he approached it and noticed a few buttons on them... He figured it was best to leave the buttons alone as he had no idea what they were used for and he didn’t to cause any trouble.

Shadow Kirby wandered back to the mirror and tap on it a few times as the reflection rippled before letting out a soft sigh of relief. He was glad that the mirror still work and he was able to return home even if the mirror have been moved the sky...

“At least the mirror still work.” He commented out loud. Although it did made him wondered how the mirror ended up in a different location. Maybe after he was done searching for Dark Meta Knight... He could start on finding out who and why the mirror got moved.

It seems the room was empty...

Maybe if he left the room; he could figure out where the mirror had been moved to and if Dark Meta Knight was truly in the dimension... 

That’s when an idea came to his head.

“Oh! I should find Kirby.” He said out loud as he figured that if he tracked down his counterpart; he could ask him if he seen Dark Meta Knight in his dimension and why the mirror got moved.

The shadow puffball slowly approach the large wooden door. 

Dark Matter felt someone bump into her, and got startled. “I-I’m sorry!” She turned and looked at Shadow Kirby, looking shocked.

He looked so much like one who she has fought a couple of times. She backed away a bit, taking caution because she knew that members of this species were very strong, despite their harmless looks. “…Who are you?” she spoke in a serious tone.

Shadow Kirby looked up to see who he had bumped into and saw it was a strange figured... The only thing he could tell was the armour shoulder pads... Did that mean the other was a knight? Either way, he knew that he had startle her even if it was an accident.

“My name is Shadow Kirby but you can call me Shadow.” He replied in a friendly tone while noticing the serious tone with her.

Trireme never really wandered too far from home. This had been the furthest she had gone, and the rumors of the mirror world actually existing tempted her into exploring. She always knew it was bad news, the Mirror World, that is, but she knew the real reason behind a lot of what happened with it, and her people were so closely bound with it, she could only feel it calling to her. She could feel her calling to her. It made Trireme extremely antsy and nervous. She had to know. So setting aside her own phobia of mirrors, the young Anthilopus pushed through blocking out the horrible memories until she keeled forward in a grassy field amongst towering pillars and stars. As soon as she took a breath, she could feel it was home. Her home. She missed it so terribly, that she would push so far in just to do this simple task. Trireme stood up, pulling her hair away from her face as she steadied her nerves and got her legs to start walking again.  She didn’t move for long until she heard something skipping through the grassy clearing, and her shredded ears perked up as she glanced around, trying to spot the source of this noise. 

Shadow Kirby kept skipping around while still holding his lollipop in his hand. He was honestly looking to having it however soon he stopped in his tracks when he saw someone in the distance that he have never seen before.

At first the puffball was cautious as he didn’t know if the other was a threat however when he got closer to her; he slowly felt a bit more at ease however it didn’t mean he was going to let his guard down.

After all, who knows what the person was able of especially if he wasn’t careful. Hopefully that wasn’t the case and the person was friendly. Shadow Kirby honestly didn’t mind making new friends if given the chance since it was much better to have friends then enemies.

“Uh... Hello there.” The puffball spoke once he was close enough to her.

“I would love to sleep on those pillows... I mean they are pillows! Do you know where I can find one?”

Shadow Kirby didn’t look impressive at all.

Shadow Kirby was exploring the land as he was looking to eat considering the puffball was feeling hungry. After all, how could he protect the mirror world on a hunger stomach?

Although he wasn’t expecting to bump into someone when running which resulted him falling to the ground and looking at he had run into.

Shadow Kirby could be seen running with a cheery expression in a field as he was holding a lollipop in his hand which he was going to have later. For now the shadow puffball just wanted to have some fun and take a nice break.

Usually Shadow Kirby prefer to stay in his own dimension and protect his world however lately it’s been quiet... Too quiet for his liking... He haven’t heard anything especially the dark knight whom was known to cause trouble within the land.

Not even a peak...

It honestly made the shadow puffball worried. He wondered if the dark knight fled the mirror world and enter the other dimension. He decided that he should investigative to see if that was the case. 

It didn’t take long for the puffball to track down the mirror that aimlessly float among the clouds and enter through it. Once he landed on the other side; he noticed that he was in a throne room... That can’t be right... 

Why would the mirror take him to a throne room?

“What’s going on?” Shadow Kirby mumbled quietly to himself while slowly walking towards the middle of the room to get a better view. Hopefully his investigation won’t take long and he could find out if Dark Meta Knight was in this world or still in the mirror world.
