In a flash, two water jets roared toward Skia and Yancha from the direction of the shadows on the rocks.

"Did you just hear that?!" "...." "Those chao are in danger!" "..." "There's no way I will fail again, rescuing those that need to be saved, I'm stronger now!" "......" "Augh! This isn't the time to be silent, buddy! Let's move it!!" "...!"

"Hmph, let's see here... The Battleground and Final Destination stages have been around for a while now, but I don't think they'd be too interestin' to him... Actually, I just remembered somethin'!" He knew this plan of his was going to go south if they were found out, but he still had one trick up ...

"The Whispy Woods stage could've been a good start, but I don't think it's part of the roster this time around." DeDeDe informed the newbs.

The hidden shadow noticed the empty space behind, jumping off into the abyss below; swiftly and quietly.

The leftover two looked at each other, trying to make a plan of action.

Cyril steeled himself, ready for whatever came next.

Growling under his breath, the king replied, "I don't know where the kid goes! Kirby could be sleepin' under his favorite tree for all I know!!"

"Poyo!" The pink puff in question was calling out to Pikachu and Samus, wondering if they were ok. 'This plan is workin' like a charm!' He grinned to himself. "One thing 'bout Kirby is that he likes to do his sleepin' in the day time for some reason, so it won't do much good lookin' for him now." De...

The silhouettes of three chao lurked atop the high rocks of the garden. Two of the three leaned in closer to the rocks' edge, while the other was farther away, hidden. Skeptical of his friend's reddened face, Cyril quietly held onto her paw; unaware that he was blushing too. Flying up in the air wit...

'Wow they're really are listenin' to me, how stupid can they get? Hey, I got me an idea...' Hatching a new plan, the King also mentioned, "Another thing you all need to know is to watch out for this guy named Kirby. He eats everyone in sight and he uses their powers to cause mayhem and destruction. ...

His laugh soon turned to a growl. 'Why aint' they scared or mad? That blue lady's as calm as a cucumber even though I insulted her, wonder how strong she is...' Shaking his thoughts away, he responded to the Luma Lady, "The way things work 'round here is that we punch the stuffing out of each other,...

Shaking his thoughts away, Cyril quickly caught on that everyone was ready to go. "Mind helping me down again?" He asked, smiling to Star. Eun looked down towards the stars, but soon remembered seeing the sleeping chao earlier. Walking back to Chalice, the silver chao picked her up, wondering if she...

DeDeDe saw the opportunity arise at that very moment, and he took it. "Why yes, I'ma four-year veteran to this here Smash Bros Tournament, 'ya little scrubs! Hehhahaha, I'm King DeDeDe, the toughest guy in this game!" Laughing out with his signature chuckle, the King boldly exclaimed. Wether or not ...

"Seems I'll be able to put my fire abilities to the test!" Eun stated, heeding the call.

Chalice still snoozed, unaware of what was going on.

Cyril's head was in the clouds, too lost in his thoughts to speak.

Lounging lazily atop his throne and a mass of his struggling Waddle Dee subjects, the King rode into the stage. Taking notice of the newbies around, he hopped off his perch and signaled his servants away. "Well hey there folks, I aint' never seen you two before, you lost or somethin'?" He snidely as...

"Servos said I needed atleast something to protect me. Too bad it doesn't do a whole lot of protecting, I always manage to scratch myself!" After remembering his advice to himself, he put the blade away, not too happy with it either. "It depends on what your dimension is like, but I guess now's not ...

"WHERE IS EVERYBODY IN THIS BLASTED CITY?!" The penguin-like Kind DeDeDe roared out to the empty place of Smashville. "Man, everone musta followed Kirby out to see the new stages or somethin'. No way am I gonna follow along that pink gumballl in this here tournament, my reputation drop like a Stone ...

"A-a staff? I only have this dinky dagger." Cyril explained, pulling out his small weapon. "I wish I had a staff though, I'm not one for such a short... stabby thing like this..." He mumbled, playing with it in his paws.

"Huh, ok. If this is the only way out of here, then what are we waiting for!" All of this talk of potentially saving the world was incredibly empowering to Cyril, but now getting to know Star and the other chao made him hesitant inside. 'What was I thinking, wanting to go back to the way it was when...

"Is it really as easy as it sounds?" Cy asked to Star. It sounded like time had collapsed many times before, so he wondered if this event was any different.

"Poyo?" The star child tilted his head, not understanding. He was too young to know any other way of speaking.

"Poya!" In all honesty, he hadn't realized who the suited lady was; but it didn't seem to matter to him. Kirby continued to babble in his poyo speak to Samus, not fully understanding that she couldn't comprehend a word he said.

Right then did Kirby notice so many old and new fighters coming to him! "Poyo poyo poy!" He greeted to both Toon Link and Samus, happy to see just about anyone.

Kirby cheerfully accepted Greninja's invitation with a nod and a smile. Even though the newcomer was a stranger, it was no secret that the pink warrior loved to make new friends; plus, the frog reminded him greatly of his close friend Meta Knight. "Poyo?" Eagerly, Kirby turned around but was curious...

"Poyo, Kirby!" Recognizing his name, the puffball proudly struck a pose, not unlike a taunt of his.

It didn't seem that the others had noticed him, Kirby had realized, now starting to feel left out. He looked again and was overjoyed that Greninja had finally noticed him though. The puff ran back over to the ninja frog, mumbling poyos happily to himself.
