DARK MATTER.

do not go gentle into that good night. grave men, NEAR DEATH, who see with blinding sight; BLIND EYES could blaze like meteors and be gay. RAGE, RAGE against the dying of the light. and you, my father, there on the sad height; curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, i pray: do not go GENTLE into that good night. RAGE. RAGE, AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT.

“ Good morning. ” Technically it’s 1:30 in the afternoon, but there’s not really any clocks on Shiver Star.

The Dark Matter bump playfully into each other. One of them stares down a snowman, perhaps envious that even this thing has two eyes while it only has one. They seem to have… personality. A certain lighthearted manner that probably didn’t come from 02 themself.

Another one suddenly has a deep blue eye, as the king works to confirm the sighting. Yep, that’s definitely 02.

“What do we do?!” Bandana is horrified, trying not to panic. But the king himself begins to calm down once more. Ever since his infection manifested he’s been more capable of commanding his own emotions.

“I can… I can feel that presence, now that I’m locked onto it. Just hope they can’t do the same.” A foolish hope, but one Dedede holds onto nonetheless. “We can’t escalate things. I won’t let that happen.”

    Even more strange; they’re almost acting as children...? Zero-Two simply floated there, bewildered beyond measure, before opting to try and communicate. The communications took emotions, feelings, nothing more.

    ‘ Where the blazes did you come from?’ would be the easiest way to describe Zero-Two’s question, because a few cognitive signals were incoherent to anyone not in the ‘network’ of sorts. They’re not particularly angry at these... these children’s behaviour ( again, they haven’t had it in them to be angry for a very long time ), more so just ... confused.

It isn’t as if he went looking for trouble. Not today, not for a long time, even. The king with the shaded heart feels the Dark Matter in the room stir and wake, before suddenly several of his bound entities forsake him and ascend. A greater being has made its presence known.

Dedede also sits up and peers through the eyes of his subjugated Dark Matter, staring at a being he thought he’d never see again. He stares at 02, through the eye of a smaller Matter. It blinks, turning a dark blue… and then it’s released.

“Bandana, he’s back. 02. I can feel it… and I saw them!”

    Bizarre! One moment they were alone, amongst snow-golems in the shape of childish snowmen, and the next they were surrounded by their kin! As far as they know, they didn’t create any Dark Matter, so either the dark beings came from a different source on the planet, or had existed elsewhere and realized their ( un ) holy presence.

      They almost speak-- almost, an inch away from breaking the habit of mentally communicating. Prior to interaction with Kirby, they were entirely mute-- able to speak, but choosing not to. The Dark Matter are connected in one network, with Zero Two as the main link.

     They’re expecting to be alone. They’re expecting, after dropping Kirby-- or, well, part of him-- on Pop Star that they could go back to Shiver Star and just be alone. Hell, maybe they’d even fall into another five month coma. At least they didn’t have to be aware when they were in slumber.

    Of course, fate is a truly cruel mistress. It should be expected-- the second they wake up is the second when everyone decides to start messing with them. Just their luck.

For every “⏳” I receive, my muse will openly talk about a bit of their backstory.

  “Correct. Popstar, Dreamland. I’ll probably be able to handle things from there.”

Bravery puffed his cheeks out. It was obvious that he was trying very hard not to shiver in the cold, but he was still shaking like a leaf. The ‘Kirby’ clung tightly onto the others halo. When the others got their memories back, they would probably skedaddle right back to Popstar to get answers…. At least, that’s what he hoped.

  “…Thanks again, Zero Two. I appreciate it more than I can put it into words.”

         They don’t respond at first, simply rising into the air slowly, past the cloud layer, the air somehow getting a measure colder than the surface. Not unbearably cold ( ability to function in space did, in fact, also feature not freezing to death ) but extremely cold nonetheless. They’ll most likely just drop them off near a Waddle Dee and be done with it-- they don’t even want to think about getting near Castle Dedede.

         “ To Dreamland, then. ” They rise, upwards, upwards, upwards, and look around at the stars. It’s a bit hauntingly beautiful, and there’s something strange about knowing that while Zero Two can see it, this child cannot.

        “ ... It’s no problem. ”

                                They fly.

  “…Right.”

 The crystal shard was on Ripple Star, which was rather far away, from what his memory showed. It’s not like anyone would need to use it anytime soon…. Hopefully. He lets out another small, squeak as he’s ‘picked up’. Hm. So that’s how Zero Two picked things up… Go figure, he guessed.

 He’s quite small, though. Yes, Kirby was small, but at least he was… Somewhat close, to being a foot tall. He casually plops onto the others halo. Huh. This wasn’t soft or anything, so it had to be… Ah. After some blind feeling around, he grasped the rim of the halo.

 “Ok, I’m set, Zero two. Thanks for this.”

     Every action is gingerly done, due to the fact that this puffball is not only microscopic but blind as well, and when he gets a firm grip on their halo they prepare themself to take off. Wings extend and stretch, and they realize just how tense they’ve been. A five month long coma will make you a bit stiff. So they stretch, before heading outside, where cold winds and clumps of snowflakes immediately stung their skin.

    “ ... to Pop Star, correct? ” they ask, looking up-- they can’t see the puffball, but it’s the principle of the thing. A gentle sway of their wings in the wind and white skin blends with white snow, in the distance one’s only indication of the being’s existence are their pops of red amongst a snow-white body.

 The small puff let out a small ‘uwaa’ as he was tapped, and the little warp star casually ‘poofed’ out of existence. ‘Kirby’ sighs, pouting for a moment. They were right. He DIDN’T defeat Zero Two, or even Zero on his own. He had the help of some friends, each time. 

 “But I– Don’t–” He crosses his nubby hands. “Fine. But don’t get hurt because of me or anything. I need to get back to Popstar and somehow regroup with the other… Me’s? Kirbies? What’s the plural for Kirby, anyways..?” He rambled for a moment, before raising his hands up, not unlike a child expecting to be picked up by a tall fellow.

      Relief floods through them-- they weren’t going to back down but they’re absolutely abhorrent at arguing, so the Kirby agreeing to come along without much protest is a relief. “ Don’t worry. You needed specific weapons to hurt me, remember? ” Well, it’s not as if they can’t get hurt, per se, it’s just that others can hurt them, hurt them very badly, but they would need special weapons to kill them. It’s not as if they’re going to tell him that, however.

     They’re not exactly sure how to pick up the child, but after a moment, formulate a method-- wing curls behind the puff, pressing behind so that he’ll fall onto and sit on Zero Two’s wing. They’re planning on lifting him to rest on top of their body-- or on their halo, whichever happens.

  “Oh… Thanks. From the memories I have, I can certainly tell…”

 Would death make him stronger, or make him weak? A very faint pang of fear filled him. What if he stayed like this? He wasn’t used to being blind, not at all. And he was certainly quite small. The others had to be small, too… He took a deep breath, before shaking his head.

 “No, if I wanna get strong for any sort of fight, I gotta. Do this alone.”

 He strains himself, his body glowing for a split second and… The tiniest warp star you could imagine suddenly appeared over his head. Like. It was like barely an inch tall. Now, you would expect a Kirby to hop onto a warp-star, and you would be right, but… Well, this Kirby hopped up, in the completely wrong direction and awkwardly bounced on the ground, rolling off to the side slightly.

    Zero Two watches him try with a measure of confusion, until they shake their head-- and promptly realize that there’s no way that this Kirby can see them doing that. They reach out a wing, tapping the Kirby gently, trying to figure out what to say. The original Zero would have never done this, and if they’d heard what Zero Two was about to say, they’d have struck their copy where they stood. Floated.

   “ You didn’t defeat me on your own, ” they say, softly, voice gone from toneless to an almost fatherly tone. “ I can help you get across the stars, at the very least. ”
