Kirby: I just did that a while ago, you know? Well.. not that last part, but... Go! Hoothoot!

Hoothoot: Hoot hooooot!

The owl pokemon beamed its eyes onto the Duplighost, using its Foresight to keep track of the Link-Owl. It doesn't really do much except for seeing through any evasive tricks. Kirby rushed in, and swung his paper fan at the freakish foe with explosive power.

There was a grin on Kirby's face.

Kirby: Oh please. You don't even know how I fight.

The spikey headed lad wagged a finger.

Kirby: And if you try to copy everything on me, I can't promise you that you'll survive the curses I've been given.

???: We'll see about that.

With a pressing of the remote's buttons, there was another flash of light. Now, there were two Kirby Neo Nites in the room. One where Kirby already was standing, and one where the mysterious trouble maker had been.

Before those in the group that were paying less attention became confused, the Kirby standing further away had fallen to his knees, gritting his teeth in pain. His hair started to grow a bit longer, completely covering the bandana. His skin started to turn darker, which was actually a thin coat of fur forming.

Claws started to form on his fingers, while a pair of small fangs started to stick out of his mouth. His ears shifted higher on his skull, and reshaped to a more triangle form. And finally, his eyes started to give off a soft green glow.


Kirby: Those curses sure are troublesome, aren't they?

The now-feline "treasure hunter" slowly stood upright, panting loudly. The transformation seemed to have taken a lot of energy out of him.

???: Wha.. what did you do to me!?

Troy : You tell US, now we REALLY can't figure out what the hell you're trying to cosplay.

Troy folded his arms, looking down in time to notice a rat to his left trying to escape back to the window. He lunged to his side, quickly snatching the rodent by its tail. He stood back up, dangling it in front of him, before tossing it over to in front of the television.

Troy : Fetch.

A shining moment of animal instincts caused the were-feline to hurl itself back to where the rat had fallen, sending controllers and their consoles flying every which way. A bookcase filled with Saturn games crashed down on top of the mess, and when the dust cleared it was obvious that the doppleganger was bound by wires from every video game peripheral known to man.

Troy : Oh yeah. I am totally authorized.

Grey: "You FOOL!"

He pushed Troy out of the way and dashed at the pile of Saturn games, grabbing several of them and stuffing them into his vest frantically. This was an electrical fire waiting to happen...

"I played Burning Rangers, I know what happens next!"

He backed off, made sure his stash of RPGs and shumps was safe, and then snapped his fingers.

"...Because I'm about to do it."

The wires binding the ghost sparked and exploded in a burst of raw alternating current...

It was quite obvious that the guy was knocked out, as the Red Star Stone came bouncing out.

YOU GOT A THE RED STAR STONE!
THE GROUP'S STAR POWER HAS RISEN, AND KIRBY LEARNED THE SUPER MOVE "ART ATTACK"!

END OF CHAPTER!


Twilight Town, the village under constant twilight. The villagers suffered a terrible curse, having their lives turned upside down without their consent by being transformed into Swinub, a furry pig pokemon. And in the nick of time, Kirby and the others came by and marched off to relieve Twilight Town of their burden. They marched through the forest and entered the Creepy Steeple. There, they met an otaku in a sheet. In his final attempt, the Duplighost tried to transform into Kirby, but it had backfired, leaving the transforming ghost in a weakened state.

The crazy nut in the lonely mansion was defeated and the fourth Star Stone was obtained. The curse on the villagers has been lifted. Everything is good. The Star Stones are almost all in the group's grasp. Faced with a bright future, the gang leave the Creepy Steeple.


--------------------------------------

Beldam: Mwee heee heee heee heeeee... Yes.. This time.. we'll take that Kirby and get his map! I may not be fond of it, but one does have to resort to extreme measures such as using the Superbombomb.

Marilyn: Guhhh....

Beldam: Vivian! Hand me that glorious Superbombomb!

It was almost as if the girl was jerked out of a dream world. She blinked and looked around the town that was lit by the large moon.

Vivian: Huh?

Beldam: Vivian... Don't you dare... Does that "Huh?" mean what I think it does?

Vivian: I.. I never had it! You were holding it just two seconds ago! You said it was too important to trust me with!

Beldam: Oh, you terrible LIAR! Stop making up stories to cover yourself! If I don't have it, then OBVIOUSLY you must have it! And OBVIOUSLY you lost it! Or... Are you trying to imply that I lost it, you little lollygagging worm?

Vivian: I... No, of course not, Bigeu..

Beldam: Stop calling me that! We're on contract!! OOOH! You just lost your chance at getting that pendant back! (Not like I still had it anyway...)

Vivian: *gasps*

Beldam: Very well, idiot. I'm sure you must have dropped the Superbombomb around here somewhere... So why don't you look for it while Marilyn and I go take a well-earned siesta. These folks can see us, so I'm sure they won't mind us borrowing their beds.

Beldam turns around and starts walking towards the "commercial district" of the town. She stops after taking a few steps.

Beldam: And if you don't find it... Well, you know what'll happen, don't you?

Vivian: I... I get punished...

Beldam: That's right, you little twit. So get cracking! Come, Marilyn. Let's leave this useless little fool to her chore.

Marilyn: Guh-huh...

After everything was said and done, the group slowly cleared out of the house, despite how long it took. The forest beyond did not seem menacing anymore, but it was still spooky looking.

Meanwhile.. a figure leaned away from the window on the second floor, unbeknownst to everyone...


Harle: You have had quite ze beating, non?

The enigmatic jester turned to face whatever was left tangled in the previously doused wires.

Harle: Eet seem you are lost for words. Perhaps a propaire introduction will help.

The jester spun around and hopped on top of a nearby machine. She performed a bow, with the bells on her head jingling all the way.

Harle: Bonjour! Je m'appelle Harle, and I am ze right hand harlequin of you, Oni!

By now, there should have been at least some confusion on the creature that attempted to copy cat to Kirby.

Harle: I bet you are t'inking "How can zis be!?"

She motions her right hand in the air, drawing a sparkly outline of a star.

Harle: Ze power of ze Red Star Stone! Zat lovely treasure, surely, iz ze cause for zis.

The cat-like creature slowly picked himself up off the floor. He then picked off the fried wiring tangled around his body and looked at the window.

???: That twerp! He knew this was gonna happen!

Wasting no more time, he lunged towards the window, jumping up and breaking through the glass. Landing outside on his feet, like a good cat should, he started running towards the forest.

The gang finally reached Twilight Town. The moment they set foot, they were being congratulated by the entire town. D'our was infront of the townsfolk, and bowed as soon as the heroes came within hearing distance.

D'our: I knew from the moment I set eyes on all of you that our troubles would have been chased away! Please! Enjoy yourselves to our town! Enjoy the celebration we have prepared for you! But please.. do not ask for pork.

Grey scribbled into his DS as the crew was overrun with celebration... A quick trick of the light and nobody even noticed his presence in all the commotion. He found a secluded spot with decent service and wrote.

"Dear Jolene,

Well, you'll wanna hear about this: We managed to do another crazy act of heroism this morning. Perchanced upon a post full of people and Pokemon of the porcine persuasion. Apparently, a cursed tower on the outskirts of the city was causing everyone in town to be turned into a Swinub whenever the bell in the tallest part of the tower tolled. I can't really describe all of the details, but it was pretty creepy watching someone transform from a normal (I guess) person into what looked like a wet pig made out of mud. Found a bunch of Heartless in the woods, too. I don't know what the darkness is doing in a world like this, but I'll investigate that on my own time. For now, I'm only for you.

Anyway, the entire thing was being orchestrated in the tower by a copycat ghost who was obsessed with playing old (but very good, for the most part) video games. I don't really know how that equates to "turn the entire town into pigs", but it did and we kicked his butt. Got us another one of those stones, too. Now there's this huge celebration in the town and everyone's been turned back to normal, which is another thing I don't quite understand, the whole "town being returned to normal now that the ghost doesn't have the Star Stone" thing. I'm sitting on the sidelines of the parade currently. I've had enough excitement for one day.

In other, non-business-related news, how are you? I'm dying to hear about the state of the Glitz Pit. Is Sig still around?

Your faithful supplier,

Xy."

Grey hit "Send", closed his DS, and went to get a drink.

The festivities in Twilight Town were not exactly over the top. Of course, it wasn’t expected to be a grand party since most of the townsfolk had finally been turned back to their former selves.

A husband finally makes his way home.


Dupree: Non! Non! You ‘ave eet all wrong! I was jus’ a leetle peegy!

Twilighter Clerk’s Husband: I’m gonna clock you out of this store. No one tries to make a move on my wife while I’m gone!

Twilighter Clerk: Oh, honey!

A mother is brought back to her children..

“Mommy!”
“You’re okay!”

“Food please.”


A father is reunited with his family.

Twilighter Mother: My dear! You have returned!

“Daddy!”
“Dad!”

“Did you bring some bacon?”


The townsfolk still knew how to throw a party, even with a few minor setbacks. Even travelers from afar joined in the celebration. The trio of traveling toad girls was putting on a little dance performance in the center of the town.

Meanwhile, several Murkrow sneered and shook their heads. They were not saying much aside from “Caw”, but those dark birds that were out of an earshot’s range spoke amongst themselves.


Some Murkrow: < Can you believe these people? >

Another Murkrow: < Celebrating like this.. pah. So, did you hear about Ralph? >

Some Murkrow: < Yeah! Can you believe it? That punk must be downloading the entire internet on those fat pipes. >

Another Murkrow: < Think he might share some of the Feather Club stuff with us? >

Some Murkrow: < We better go see him soon before he forgets who we are. >

After some time.. Grey finally received an email from Jolene..
“Dear Grey,

It sounds like you had quite the adventure. I know the others would say it would be a boring tale, but I know it must have been exciting to actually be a part of it!

Sorry for not responding to your previous messages.

It’s a lot more work to be the owner than I thought! But my little brother is helping out. Once again, I have to thank you for bringing him back. To think! A fellow Fan!

Regarding the Star Stone.. Perhaps it might have been an attribute of the Star Stone? My brother, and those affected by Grubba’s machine, was free when Grubba lost the star. I’m sorry I’m not much help on the subject, but I’ll try to see what information I can dig up on the Star Stones.

On the note about Sig… He actually left the Glitz Pit. He seemed to have been in quite a funk after you guys left. Perhaps he went out to get some training. You know how those warrior types are.

Please take care and don’t get into too much trouble, okay? ^_~

Keep in touch,
PrincessMush.”

Troy sat in the grass with his arms folded in front of him, rocking back and forth as he looked around.

Troy : (I figured this place looked so morbid because it was being maintained by pigs since god-knows-when... but so far it's not looking any less moody than when we showed up...)

Troy paused as a rustle came out of the shrubbery behind him. He slowly looked over his shoulder, watching as handfuls of dead leaves were thrown up into the air every few seconds. He crept forward into a crouch.

Troy : ...hm...

Grey, in the meantime, was tearing into the festivities the moment he got his hands on a soda. It was somewhat hard to be a true party animal, however, when all he could think about was where Sig had run off to...

Grey (thinking) : 'I do hope he's all right... I'd hate to imagine what would happen if the little guy got himself into any more trouble.'

He remembered the incident with Grubba as he solemnly took a sip of his drink. Sig had fought valiantly, but in the end he had knocked himself out. Yes, it was for the good of the battle, but it worried Grey that Sig would leave the Glitz Pit. At the same time, however, it lifted his spirits to know that Sig wanted to get stronger. Grey smiled to himself as he imagined Sig going off on some crazy training adventure and coming back and ruling the Pit as the greatest legend it had ever seen.

A koopa without a shell... How little Grey knew...

Amidst the festivities, two winged heroes were partaking of some... "punch"

Fem: Don't party too hardy, you're a married man now, remember?

Jack: Last I heard you weren't entirely single yourself.

Meanwhile, The feline "treasure hunter" finally made it to Twilight Town. He pulled a heartless off of his back and chucked it nonchalantly to the ground, which caused the shadowy creature to explode into a black puddle. He stepped towards the center of the commercial district and looked around.

???: A party, huh?

He approached a Twilighter to get some information.

???: Hey.. Um.. Did you happen to see… Hey, are you listening?

Random Twilighter: One can get through anything if he had good memories to cling to... Now, if I can just figure out how my days as a pig qualify as good memories..

???: … Er.. Yeah.. I think I’ll keep on looking..
