---

When Kirby awakened, he found himself just outside the completed Lor Starcutter, still deep in the ditch created from where it had initially crashed. The world around was bright and happy as it always was. Yet something felt amiss...

Had he fallen asleep? Kirby couldn't remember. He was doing something... somewhere. Was it just part of a dream he was having? What a strange dream, then! But now the puff could get back to adventuring with his friends. And of course, they had to be nearby, so he turned to where his three companions, Waddle Dee, Meta Knight and King Dedede should have been.

But the people he saw were decidedly not them.

Where the hell was he? This wasn't part of Smash Academy at all.

Okay, maybe it was part of the TV world. The place seemed strange enough, like something that would be there. But the TV world didn't look like a horrid wasteland anymore, he thought. Unless Teddie was doing a bad job looking over it, which wouldn't surprise him in the slightest.

But what did surprise Kanji was that his normally tiny puffball roommate was no longer tiny. He was now a giant puffball who looked like he could engulf him any second.

"Wh-whoa!" he cried, scrambling backwards, "When did you get so huge?!"

That was strange. Everything seemed a lot brighter and colourful than they were just a few minutes ago. Not to mention the sudden appearance of a big boat-looking thing and people she didn't know! Well, she recognized Daisy, but the others? Who knew who they were.

"What? Where... is this?"

It wasn't the school, and it definitely wasn't the gallery. Where else was there?

That pink thing was super cute though. If only it was a more cuddle-able size.

Daisy really didn't like how crazy things just seemed to come out of nowhere around this place. It was really disconcerting.

But what kind of fresh hell was this?

"Guh... What happened? Where are we?" She looked over. "...Kirby, how did you get so big?"

In an unprecedented turn of events, Kirby was slightly less confused then his new companions. He could answer one question.

"Kanji, poyo? You got small!" The puff then distracted himself with the ladyfriends. "This is Dream Land, poyo... Who are you?"

"Hmm, really? I've never had a dream like this before..." She couldn't recall ever having a dream in which she was outright told she was in a dream land, now that she thought about it. Maybe this would be fun!

"I'm Mary."

"I got small?" he cried. At first, his crushing insecurity immediately thought that this was a blow to his masculinity, but then a split second later he realized that no, it wasn't. This was another trick of the school, probably. Great.

"How the hell did we get small? And why are we here?"

Kanji wanted answers, damn it. At least he had a good-looking woman here with him, although there was some bratty little girl there too. But damn... his roommate. Was this Kirby's doing? Did Kirby shrink them all? Kanji would have to remind himself to punt that little puffball when he got back to his normal size again.

"You don't recognize me?" she asked. "Oh right... You left and came back." Yeah, she remembered how Smash Academy tended to work. That explained it. "Sorry. I'm Daisy."

Kirby perked up, grinning at his new friends. Yes, he decided they were friends that quickly. "Oh, okay! Hi Mary! I'm Kirby! And hi Daisy, poyo, since I guess you know who I am? And, um, I don't know, Kanji!"

There. That was straightened out now. Now to size up the situation, which was:

1. King Dedede, Waddle Dee, and Meta Knight were nowhere to be seen.
2. Kanji, Mary and Daisy seem to have replaced them.
3. Problems are always solvable with adventure.

Well... Magolor had said that he'd take Kirby and friends to visit Halcandra, right? But he didn't put a limit on the number of friends... But would his original traveling companions feel left out if he went without them? Wait, maybe they could come back later. Yeah, that worked!

Of course, to everyone else, it looked like Kirby stared into space for a minute before blinking, the eager look returning to his face.

"Um, a friend wanted to take me and some of my other friends on a trip to see his world since we helped put his ship back together... " The puff gestured to the ship behind him. "But since they're not here, poyo, would you all like to come with me? Maybe we'll find out what's going on, poyo!"

"Ah..."

Mary's smile faltered a bit. The last time she had been invited to go on a journey with someone she wanted to call a friend hadn't been that long ago, and it ended with her all alone - albeit at a school full of other people, but the one she wanted to see most was nowhere to be found. Was it any different if this was all just a dream, and she'd wake up in the school all over again?

...Even if this was just some dream land, there was no point in not finding out where that ship would take her. If she didn't like it, she would just wake up, right? She was pretty sure that was how dreams worked, anyway.

"...Yes! I want to go! We'll all have fun together, right?"

Ugh. No, Kanji didn't want to go on a dumb adventure with his dumb puffball roommate. But at the same time, what else was he going to do? He was shrunk down to just a few inches tall, and Kirby's freakishly large mouth at this size was really intimidating.

If going on this adventure would get him back to his normal size and out of this crazy house, then fine, he would go along with it. Besides, he could kick some serious ass.

"Yeah, fine. As long as I can get back to my normal height," he huffed.

"Well, if it's the only way to make sense of what's going on, I'm game," Daisy replied.

Kirby did a hop out of joy. That was just what he wanted to hear! "Yay! I'm so glad, poyo! Let's go!" He ran up to the ship's door, motioning for the motley crew to follow.

As Team Awesome (as I will henceforth call them) enters the ship, they'd be greeted by Magolor, a strange character around Kirby's height. He gave a brief exposition, and then they were taking off!

Something went wrong as they approached Halcandra. The Lor started shaking violently, as if bombarded by something...

Daisy looked out of one of the portholes on the ship.

"There's a giant four-headed dragon shooting fireballs at us!!"

She was immediately starting to regret her decision to join this adventure.

A giant what.

Truth be told, Mary was less concerned about the 'dragon' part and infinitely more worried about the 'fire' part. Were they all going to burn and die? Was she even as flammable as she used to be? Wake up, wake up, wake up!

But she was still here. She clutched at Daisy's dress, as though she could do something just because she was the one to see the dragon first.

"No! No, I don't want to die!"

What what what what?!

Why was there a giant dragon trying to kill them?! No, it wasn't something Kanji couldn't handle, although... could he? He hadn't used his Persona outside of the Midnight Channel, and was not sure if it would work in this setting. Besides, he was the height of a toothpick now. That meant the dragon was probably like a foot tall and could probably be squashed if Kanji was his normal height.

Great, his companions didn't seem to be helpful either. They were screaming or something, afraid for their lives. Kanji was going to be a man and not flip out.

"Come on, you sissies! We can take this thing on!"

Actually, he wasn't sure about that, but still.
