Knight Errant
Part 9
Kirby: I'm bored. Marx, how much longer until we get there?
Marx: I don't know, honestly. Ripple Star is a long way away. I've never been to this part of the galaxy, have you?
Kirby: I think so, when I was younger. It was a long time ago.
Marx: Hold on! I see something in the distance!
Kirby: Where I wanna see it!
*Marx points it out.*
Kirby: Ohhh! That little red thingy? I'm zooming in on it!
*Kirby hits a few buttons. A screen pops up with an enlarged image on it.*
Kirby: That's it! That's Ripple Star! Yay, we are heading in the right direction! I hope we get there soon! Sabre Knight said he'd meet me there, and he's not very patient. Sorry!
Marx: What for?
Kirby: I'm not supposed to say anything bad about my mentor!
Later
Sabre Knight: Kirby, it's about time you arrived!
Kirby: Sorry, sir! I thought we were going the right way at first, but then we had to change direction since I read the coordinates in reverse.
*Sabre Knight sighs.*
Sabre Knight: That's why you're supposed to ride with me.
Kirby: What are we supposed to be doing?
Sabre Knight: You forgot already? Ripple Star got taken over by NightMare Enterprises, so we obviously have to fight them off! Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
Kirby: Why not?
Sabre Knight: There's a lot of other things we need to do here. We're evacuating all of the people, too. Apparently, Nightmare used some kind of mind control on them, and we need to somehow break it. We also need to locate the Power Crystal and keep it out of the grasp of N.M.E.
Kirby: So we're taking it from the planet?
Sabre Knight: I don't know; I'm not in charge of this operation. Anyways, we're going to be with the main group that's doing the majority of the fighting to regain Ripple Star. We don't need to worry about getting the Power Crystal or evacuating the people.
Kirby: Are we needed right now?
Sabre Knight: Yeah. I just needed to make sure you got here safely. Now, let's go!
Kirby: Okey-dokey!
Later
Kirby: Wow, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be!
He and the rest of his brigade-as well as Sabre Knight and countless other Star Warriors-were in the heat of battle. They were outnumbered, but they seemed to be doing well, as far as Kirby could tell.
Sabre Knight: Kirby! Keep your mind on the battle!
*Kirby turns around, looking for his mentor.*
Kirby: Oopsie! Sorry about that-augh!
*While Kirby is facing backwards, he is attacked from behind.*
Kirby: Darn! Now I've lost my ability!
*He looks around frantically for something to suck up.*
Out of the corner of his eye, Kirby spotted a small missile-launcher on the ground that had been lost by one of the many combatants.
Kirby: That should do it!
*He sucks the missile-launcher up.*
In a flash of light, a hard red cap with a yellow star on the top materialized onto Kirby's head. He was now Missile Kirby! He leapt up into the air, transforming his body into a projectile, and shot through the battlefield.
Kirby: Coming through! I hope I don't hit any Star Warriors; I'm not so good at using this ability!
*A projectile from the battlefield hits Kirby mid-flight.*
Kirby: Ack! I'm losing control of myself!
*He spirals out of control, and eventually hits a wall. The impact causes him to lose his ability.*
Kirby: Ow! Maybe that's why I don't use that ability often!
*He looks around at his new surroundings.*
Kirby: Huh? What is this place? Where am I?
He was in a storage room of some sort: every wall was stacked to the ceiling with boxes containing weapons and supplies.
*Kirby looks behind him and notices the gaping hole he made in the wall.*
Kirby: Oopsie! Maybe I should fix it!
*He leaves the room.*
Kirby: Wow, this place is a lot bigger than I thought!
*He continues down the hallway.*
Kirby: I see someone up ahead! I'll ask them for help! *yells* Hey! Do you have anything to repair walls with? I kinda broke one of your walls, and I want to fix the hole I made.
?: Shh! Keep your voice down!
*Kirby is pulled backward with considerable effort from the stranger.*
The stranger had pulled Kirby through a door into a cluttered storage room. This one had even more boxes, and many things were strewn about the floor.
?: You look really familiar…have you been to Ripple Star before? I swear I've seen you somewhere before.
Kirby: I've been here before, but I was really young the last time I came here. It was a lot of fun! I helped piece together the Power Crystal and defeated O²!
?: Yes, I do remember you! You're Kirby!
*The not-so-much-of-a-stranger hugs Kirby.*
?: Do you remember me? We worked together then! I'm Ribbon!
Kirby: Yeah!
*He hugs her back, making sure not to hug her too hard.*
Kirby: It's nice to see you again! I have so much to catch you up on!
Ribbon: Now's not the time. I have an important mission! A lot of people from Ripple Star were kidnapped by NightMare Enterprises, and I think they're imprisoned somewhere in this compound. You've got to help!
Kirby: That's awful! Of course I'll help! I'm part of a group of Star Warriors who came here to fight N.M.E.! I'd go and get them, but I'm lost.
*someone approaches the door of the room the two are in.*
??: Hey! Who's in there?
*Ribbon puts her hand over Kirby's mouth.*
Ribbon: Stay quiet!
?: No reply? I'll find out myself!
*The door is smashed down and a sentry comes in.*
Kirby: Don't worry, Ribbon. This guy is a fellow Star Warrior. I think I've seen him around before. He must be stationed here.
*Kirby comes out of his hiding place.*
Sentry: Kirby?! What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be fighting?
Kirby: I was, but then I got lost! Now I'm here. Want to meet my friend Ribbon?
*He pulls Ribbon out of her hiding place.*
Ribbon: Kirby, no!
Sentry: Kirby, why are you taking sides with her?! Don't you know that all the citizens of Ripple Star are being mind-controlled by Nightmare? She's trying to trick you!
Ribbon: Kirby, that's not true! No one's being mind-controlled! We didn't even have any problems with NightMare Enterprises until recently! They're trying to conquer us now!
Sentry: That's enough from you.
*He grabs Ribbon and drags her off.*
*Ribbon struggles desperately to escape his grip.*
Ribbon: Kirby! Help me! I have my free will, I swear! I'm not the evildoer here, please believe me!
Kirby: *thinking* What happened there? I know Nightmare is mind-controlling the people of Ripple Star, but even still something felt wrong. Why do I suddenly feel guilty?
Later
Sabre Knight: Kirby, what's wrong? You don't seem like yourself today. Even during training, you were really out-of-it!
Kirby: Sorry, sir. I've just had a lot on my mind for the last couple days.
Sabre Knight: Heh, no wonder you seemed different.
Kirby: I've been thinking about a friend of mine. I met up with her a couple days ago, but…I just feel like I should've done more to help her.
Sabre Knight: Don't blame yourself. There was nothing you could've done to help her.
Kirby: I…I…dunno. *to himself* I just don't know what to believe any more.

Last summer, I decided I wanted to challenge myself by writing something COMPLETELY different than anything else I've ever written. I've written other fan fictions before, but this is my first Kirby fan fiction as well as my first time writing in script format. It's fun, but it's very challenging for someone who usually writes the standard way.
This is where the story starts to pick up the pace and gets more exciting. I'll admit it's been a fairly slow story, but there needs to be that kind of build-up for the plot to work properly (you'll see what I mean in another five installments or so). Also, it conveys the passing of time better; it's easier to believe Kirby has been away from Dream Land for over half a century (at this point in time; it's been around 60-75 years since he left).
Coming up next:Kirby's got some big things coming his way, as a major shift in the Star Warriors is about to change everything for him...but how will that affect his relations with the rest of his brigade?
