Garlude took her sword and placed it to the glassy surface of the Dimensional Mirror. She had been warned by both Cavalier Jack and Meta Knight that it was one of the most dangerous artifacts that they’d come across, but she wanted to see it for herself. The tip dipped through the “pane” with a soft murmur. Garlude’s eyes widened as she quickly yanked it back, unsure of what to make of its strange properties.

She narrowed her eyes and tiled her head to the side. She took a few steps back and charged straight into the mirror, reason be damned. Her vision was bathed in white light for only a second before she could feel her feet hit the ground.

Garlude was taken aback when the light cleared. She didn’t expect everything to look so beautiful.

Crystal spires surrounding a clear blue lake, delicate mossy hills rolling across the flowery countryside, dusty remnants of previous castles… frankly, it was breathtaking.

Yamcha wasn’t sure what he was expecting to see when he went out on his little exercise routine.

One moment he was jogging through the forest, weaving around trees and bushes.

However, he didn’t think to avoid the roots.

Little to say, he tripped. And he would have landed flat on his face if you didn’t reflexively have his ki make him fly. He floated there for a second, staring at the patch of ground he nearly face planet in.Then, ever so gently he moved back onto his feet.

“Well... that was close...”

That was when the oddity started.

A moment later, he felt something bump his ankle.

It... didn’t feel like an animal. Not any he knows of, anyways. Slowly he looked down to see...

... What the heck was that?

Some sort of grey orb with a pair for feet, a pair of nubs that he assumed were meant to be its hands, and a face.

Yeah, aliens weren’t an oddity to him. One of his best friends was one.

But this? This was probably the oddest he’d ever seen. So... simplistic looking. No torso, no limbs, the little creature was literally just a head with hands and feet attached to it.

Curiously, he crouched down.

“Uh... Hey there, lil’ guy...”

At least Shirby spared him and let him take his brother back home, but honestly, Popopo’s at a real loss. He didn’t want to leave Shirby as she was, but... Just how was he going to fix her? And Kirby? And the rest of the possibly happified? 

There wasn’t much he could have done at the moment... or was there? Was it the right time to retreat, or was it cowardly of him to do so? 

It... it already feels like he’s already failing everyone he knew and cared about, and his self-supposed duties as a Star Warrior, wish granter, friend... and brother...

“......”

-Marx squints at Shirby. This orb tried to kill him over something dumb. Also she was from the Mirror World where most of them were violent buzzkills to him. And wasn’t Shirby supposed to be a sort of opposite of Kirby? And if so in what way? ...better see if these cookies were legit apology cookies. The jester gives the mirror worlder a friendly smile.-

“Oh wow how nice! Hehehe! It’s ok! I get into a lot of fights, rather standard when you have the job I do. Say say say! Wanna share these? Since we’re pals now? I couldn’t possibly eat all these by myself and friends are supposed to share! Kirby told me that.”
