A young puffball was at the ground, not knowing what would happen. Darren was only a month old in his years, which was about 400 in our years. The darkness from the sky slowly filled into the popopo. He screamed........ and all was silent.

In a nearby village, an owl, a hamster, a fish and a gooey blob thing huddled around the fire. It was the only thing keeping them warm in these times. An icy wave flew over them all, and the fire turned off. Pitch black. When the fire was lit again, everyone was gone...

“Hey guys! I got the marshmallows!”

Kirby drew near to the fire, a bag of stale marshmallows in hand. After much searching and rummaging, he had managed to find his last bag.

Things hadn’t been going easy for the folks of Dream Land as of late. Dedede’s recent tax had taken a heavy toll on them, and luxuries like sweets had become more difficult to come by. That wouldn’t stop Kirby from enjoying his campfire chow, though.

As Kirby got within visual range of the now-dimming fire, he noticed that the space around it was strangely empty. Kirby slowed to a halt. Where was everybody?

Sitting down on a nearby log, Kirby deduced that they must have gone off to get hot dogs. After all, what was a campfire without hot dogs? Granted, it wasn’t so much a campfire as it was a “keeping warm” fire, but Kirby didn’t care. Any fire was an opportunity for roasting.

Speaking of which, Kirby was getting pretty hungry. Reasoning that the others would surely be back soon, Kirby decided to open up the bag. Now was as good a time as ever to start the marshmallow roast.

However, lurking in the darkness, a shadowy figure spied on Kirby as he hungrily popped a roasted marshmellow in his mouth. The figure stepped forward, carfully not stepping on a stick. However, Kirby could hear the figure. He turned around to see the legendary Meta Knight.

"Meta? What're you doing here?" Kirby asked in confusion.

"I have come to say- ooh! Are those marshmellows? Can I have one?" Meta Knight plopped down on a log covered in sticky mold. "Bleech! These are rotton!" Meta tossed the bag of 'mellows into the crackling fire. Kine the fish reappeared with a lone hotdog in his hand. "guys! the others were takin' by dedede!" Kine gasped.

"Oh! A hotdog!" Kirby said excitedly.

"Come and i'll tell you wat happened." Kine said solomly...

As Kine began to tell the story, Darren hid in the shadows. He snickered to himself, and quickly ran down to the caves. Inside, he opened a box, and in it, was a dark shape. Darren muttered the ancient words that would tear a mere mortal's heart to shreds. Darkness filled the room.

Darren laughed, despite his lack of knowledge about the darkness. Said matter formed to one infront of him, as he started to command them. "Alright, minions. You will take over Dreamland for ME and me only. And together, we will destroy all that oppose me."

"GWA-"

At that moment the darkness jumped Darren like a wolfpack, giving him pain in all its delicious flavours. The 8 flying matters took turns mutilating the dreamlander to a point that he was doing more than spinning around with a shocked expression. Darkness formed to one and escaped the cavern quickly.

At morning, the city of dreamland went about as normal. Kirby was walking along the street with fans following him until the Darkness appeared and ambushed Kirby. Soon after Kirby was knocked unconcious, the Darkness rose up to make a message.

"ATTENTION OLL O DREAMLAND, WE ARE 8 MOUNDS OF DARKNESS. INDIVIDUALLY WE ORR NOT EFFECTIVE AGAINST EVEN THU WEEKIST WODDLING LITTLE MAN, BUT TOGETHER WE ORR THE DARXUS. THU FUTURE RULA OF OLL THIS LAND."

large amounts of muttering were heard as the perplexed citizens looked on as the "Darxus" left.
