Kirby and the Purple Butterfly Chapter 3

It had now been a month since Rifty had arrived in Dream Land, and he had already become quite acquainted with all the people who lived there. Everyday, Kirby and Rifty would love to take walks throughout the Waddle Dee Village together, and people would always give them the best of greetings. However, the people of Dream Land were quite fascinated by Rifty, everyone had wanted to learn just a little more about him. Rifty was very overwhelmed by the constant flow of questions they received from Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, Noddies, and others alike, but Kirby would always be there to help Rifty out when he needed it.

On one sparkly night, it was foretold that a meteor shower was gonna happen near Pop Star, and that it could be seen from Dream Land! All of the lights in town were dimmed as the dreamlanders gathered together on the rooftops and observatories of the village, while Kirby and his friends got together on one of Castle Dedede’s towers, King Dedede even set up a telescope for Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, and Rifty to get a better look (with Meta Knight’s help, of course).

“Look at all those stars, Rifty!” Kirby proudly exclaimed. “Aren’t they just beautiful?”

“Wow, shiny…” Rifty was amazed, the stars had never been this clear and visible to him before.

“There’s even a few constellations visible too! Look!” Bandana Waddle Dee proclaimed, pointing out several of the star formations. “There’s the belt of Orion, the Gemini twins, and- oh! I think I can see Taurus from here!”

You couldn’t tell, but Meta Knight smiled from underneath his mask. “Rifty, have you ever heard of zodiac signs before?” he asked, to which Rifty shook their head in response. “Those are special constellations that align with where our planet is correlating with the sun. There are twelve of them, matching with certain times of the year. They say such signs can dictate what someone’s personality is depending on when they were born.” Meta Knight began to explain the hidden meanings behind the stars in the sky, to which Rifty was very fascinated. There was so much about the world he wanted to learn about, so much he had wanted to see. 

However, Meta Knight’s lesson would abruptly end thanks to Dedede noticing something.

“I think it’s starting!” he shouted, as tiny stars began to streak the dark skies of Dream Land. The rest of the group quickly gathered around the telescope, taking turns to see the meteor shower up close. It started off small at first, but more and more stars slowly became more visible. Kirby, Rifty, and Bandana Waddle were practically fighting over who got to use the telescope, though the two eventually decided that Rifty would be the one to use it first.

“They look so pretty!” Rifty happily exclaimed. However, they wouldn’t have much time to look at the stars before something strange happened.

All of a sudden, in a burst of light, millions of tiny little stars began shooting across Dream Land from a singular spot in the sky, the slight shockwave it caused knocking Rifty over.

Kirby panicked a little. “Oh no! Are you okay, Rifty?”

“I’m fine! Just got a little startled!”

Meta Knight looked up into the sky with confusion. “That…isn‘t normal.” 

“You think? I’m pretty sure the sky doesn’t just burst into stars like that!” Dedede shouted.

The knight began to ponder the current situation. “It doesn’t seem to be causing much harm, however. It’s not like any of the stars are crashing into the town. But what possibly could have caused this?”

“Maybe the stars were just behind schedule?”

“Stars can’t be behind schedule! They’re always right on time!”

Both Bandana Waddle Dee and Kirby quickly started debating stars with each other, forgetting all about the meteor shower.

“Nay, this is certainly no normal meteor shower, this is something else, but I can’t quite tell what.”

“Well, whatever it is, it’s still pretty, right?” Kirby asked, but Meta Knight did not respond.

A couple of days after the mysterious meteor shower, Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee offered to take Rifty to the downtown market to go shopping. There were many things being sold there from many different small shops. Kirby was happily running towards the food court, while Rifty and Bandana Dee followed after him. Their chase would abruptly stop, however, when something caught the attention of almost everyone in town that day! 

“Greetings, people of Dream Land!”

A voice could be heard coming from one of the roofs of the shops. It was another knight like Meta Knight! He managed to grab the attention of everyone very quickly.

“Tis I! Sir Quantum Knight! Distant Traveler on a quest for knowledge! I have come from a far off land to make my mark here after hearing word of your beloved planet, for I wish to learn more about it and its culture, as well as defending it from the clutches of evil!”

Everyone was very confused by the knight’s last remark. There hadn’t been any danger in Dream Land for quite some time now. Even Kirby was confused by this, being the danger magnet he was. They all looked at the knight with puzzled expressions.

“…wait, what dost thou mean that there is no evil that lurketh here?”

The villagers affirmed the knight’s query by shaking their heads.

“Uhh, very well then! You shall resume your duties then, as I shall continue to make my observations!”

The knight, rather embarrassed, disappeared as quickly as he arrived. Both Kirby and Bandana Dee were very puzzled by this. They have never heard of a knight such as this before!

“Who was that?”

“I’m not sure, I’ve never heard of a Quantum Knight before.”

“Didn’t they kind of remind you of someone?”

“Who?”

“They kind of looked like Galacta Knight. You know them, right? That knight Meta Knight said he met at some point?”

“Oh yeah! He was very strong, but not as strong as Sir Meta Knight!”

While Kirby and Bandana were discussing the new knight, Rifty was left in their own confusion. The knight had stood out to them, for they looked quite similar to Rifty themselves.

“Rifty, what did you think about the knight?”

“Me? Well, I don’t know who he is, but he looked kind of familiar.”

“Really? Did he remind you of anyone?”

“Not really, but I did think his armor was pretty cool! It had pretty butterflies!”

Bandana Dee then chimed in. “What did you think he was doing here?”

“Well, he did say it himself, he is just here to observe.”

“It sounds pretty suspicious, doesn’t it?”

“Well, not really,” Kirby added. “I mean, exploring planets can be a pretty fun thing to do!”

Even after their conversation, their ideas of the knight still circled around in their heads.

Word of the knight began to rapidly spread across all of Pop Star, even King Dedede and Meta Knight began to become curious about the matter.

“Didja hear about that new knight in town?” Dedede asked while looking out a window from the castle.

Meta Knight turned to look at him from his seat while he was reading a newspaper article about this mysterious new knight. “How could I not? Word of him has spread across the land like a great fire, it is quite bizarre, I must say.”

“What do you think his deal is? The only other knight around here is you, do we really need another one?”

“I know not of his intentions, but I must get to the bottom of this. Something tells me there is more to this ‘Quantum Knight’ than he is willing to admit.”

Before the two could continue, Sword Knight, one of Meta Knight’s loyal knights, quickly burst through the castle doors. “Sir! You must come and see this!”

“What is the matter, Sword Knight?” Meta Knight said as he got out of his seat.

”It’s that new knight! He’s been spotted near the Halberd! Come!”

Sword Knight quickly rushed Meta Knight over to the Halberd’s Hangar in the castle, but there was no knight to be seen!

“S-Sir! I swear I saw him here!”

“There’s no need to apologize, Sword, for I know you are telling the truth. It looks like the knight must have fled once he realized he had been seen.”

While he was talking, Meta Knight had noticed a glint of something from the corner of his eye. He quickly turned around to see what it was, only to find a green butterfly fluttering around some flowers adorned around one of the castle windows.

‘Hmph, I must be seeing things…’ he thought to himself.

Over the course of a couple of weeks, Meta Knight would continually be alerted to sightings of the Quantum Knight, only to arrive with no one present at the scene. No one except for that green butterfly he had seen before. Meta Knight quickly informed his men of the situation as soon as he came to this conclusion.

“This green butterfly must be tied to this knight in some form. If you see it, be sure to keep an eye on it, for it may lead us to finding them.”

“Understood, sir!”

While Meta Knight made his investigation across Dream Land, Quantum Knight continued to travel across the planet, documenting its many interesting locations. However, this knight was not on just a quest to document the planet, he had arrived for a different purpose: Rifty. The knight would always appear wherever Rifty had gone, many of his traces being in areas Rifty had visited, almost going entirely undetected by anyone on Pop Star. Anyone except Rifty themselves! He started catching on to them once Meta Knight had told them about the butterfly sightings, always looking around for them, as if they were gonna catch it! It would take quite some time, however, for the two to finally meet each other in person.

“Just who is that knight? And why does he seem so familiar?” Rifty says to themselves.

Almost forgot to mention that in addition to writing Kirby and the Purple Butterfly, I’m also currently running an ask blog over at @ask-rifty-blog, so if you’d like Rifty themselves to answer any questions may have, come on down there and check it out!

It has been my dream for many years to be able to run an ask blog, so I would appreciate very much if anyone could drop just one question! 💜

Kirby and the Purple Butterfly Chapter 2

It had been a few days since Rifty arrived in Dream Land on that fateful night, snow had coated the planet of Pop Star like a nice soft and delicious layer of frosting on a cake. It was very chilly that day, but of course, nothing can stop Kirby. He was getting Rifty ready for the day by bundling them up in a nice and fluffy winter coat with fur along its edges and some cute looking earmuffs. Rifty was quite startled by this, as they hadn’t realized what was happening until Kirby started preparing them! 

“Ehhhh??? Kirby what are you doing?” they asked while squirming around, attempting to get out of the fluffy yet restrictive coat. 

“Hold still!” shouted Kirby. “It is very cold out today! And I wouldn’t want you catching a fever out there!”

Rifty was confused by this. “But why would I need to wear all of this? Is something happening today?” they asked curiously.

Kirby nodded with excitement. “Yes! Today I will be taking you to see my best friends! I think you would love to meet them!” he explained.

This news had startled Rifty a little. “T-Today?! Are you sure? I don’t know if I’m ready to meet them yet!” they exclaimed with worry.

“I’m sure you will be fine, my friends are quite nice! I’m sure they would be excited to meet you!” Kirby said with reassurance as he wrapped his scarf around himself, to which Rifty was a little humored by. Kirby made them wear all of this getup yet he only wore a scarf!

The little purple puffball laughed a little to herself. “Ok, but are you sure I have to wear all of this on the way there? I think I’ll be okay on my own.”

“I just don’t want you to freeze out there!” Kirby explained. “You looked like you were about to when I found you out there in the snow!”

“Ok, I think I see your point. If you need me to wear this, then I will happily do it for you!” Rifty responded with a cheery smile on their face. Kirby happily returned the favor with their own smile as they continued to bundle up their friend before setting off to Castle Dedede.

Kirby quickly took Rifty across almost all of Dream Land to get to Castle Dedede, which is located somewhere near one of Pop Star’s mountain ranges.

Rifty was a little worried about where they were going, feeling intimidated by the tall castle. “Uhh, Kirby, where exactly are you taking me to see your friends?” they asked nervously.

”Oh, I’m taking you to Castle Dedede to meet the king of Dream Land!” Kirby explained casually. Rifty then quickly skidded to a halt. “Eh!? The king of Dream Land? Meeting me?! B-but, I…” Rifty was quite startled by this, they had only been in Dream Land for a few days and they were about to meet the king! What an honor that was!

“Of course!” Kirby replied. “King Dedede has been my friend for years! I’m sure he’ll be glad to meet you!”

”Ooh, I better make a good first impression.” Rifty said nervously to themselves.

Kirby and Rifty entered the big castle, being greeted by some Waddle Dees, who helped Kirby and Rifty take off their winter clothing to put somewhere safe. Some of the Waddle Dees looked at Rifty with curiosity. It’s not often that another one of Kirby’s species comes to visit.

The Waddle Dees led Kirby and Rifty over to the throne room, to which they saw Dedede sitting in his throne. Luckily, he was not surrounded by papers like he was a few days ago. Today, he was happily sitting in his chair reading a book about what it takes to be a good and noble king.

“Rifty quick! Hide behind me!” Kirby whispered with a mischievous plan in mind.

“O-okay.” Rifty said as they quietly shuffled behind Kirby.

Dedede looked up from his book. 

“Kirby! What brings you here today? Are you still gonna be doing that picnic?” asked the great king.

“Even better! I have something special to show you!” exclaimed Kirby. “Look!” He went off to the side to present Rifty to Dedede.

“GAH! TWO KIRBIES?! Did you just multiply?!”

Dedede was shocked! Just before him were now two little puffballs! As much as he loved Kirby, there was no way that he would be able to handle two of them now!

“Eek!” Rifty quickly hopped back to behind Kirby, startled by Dedede’s surprised reaction.

“Dedede! Don’t be scared! This is my new friend Rifty! I met him a few days ago and wanted them to meet you!”

Kirby then looked behind them to see Rifty shivering and quaking in their figurative boots.

Dedede opened his eyes again, getting a much better look at Rifty. He hopped out of his throne and walked over to the two of them.

“Y-Your majesty! M-my name is Rifty! I’m very fortunate to meet you!” Rifty said while bowing and saluting King Dedede in a quick sweat.

Dedede then shot his signature grin at Rifty, his ego inflating quite a bit.

“Heh heh heh! Get a load of this little dude!” He roared as he graciously shook Rifty’s hand with his big mitten hands. “The name’s Dedede, the name you should know! It’s a pleasure meetin’ ya Rifty!” Dedede gave Rifty a nice couple of pats on the head, he found the little one quite endearing. “C’mon Kirby why can’t you be as respectful to your king as ol’ Rifty is ‘ere?” teased Dedede. “Your little friend is such a cutie he is!”

Rifty was quite surprised by this sudden approval, to think the king of the land was able to warm up to them so easily! They were almost as pink as Kirby was in the moment, giggling to themselves.

Kirby just shook his head, of course Dedede would like Rifty, especially if Rifty treated him with such a level of respect.

Later on, Kirby was leading Rifty over to the Halberd.

Rifty was so energetic! “I can’t believe I got to meet and befriend the king! He was so nice to me!” they exclaimed cheerfully as they leaped up and down behind Kirby.

Kirby was very happy that Dedede was able to get along with Rifty so well, but he was very curious to see how Meta Knight and Rifty would get along.

“Where are we going next, Kirby?”

“We’re about to meet Sir Meta Knight! He’s one of Dedede’s most trusted companions and another one of my close friends!”

‘Wow! Kirby is friends with a lot of important people!’ Rifty thought to themselves as Kirby brought them to the entrance of the Halberd’s Hangar.

Meta Knight was overseeing the maintenance of his ship, it was imperative that it was checked over before the extremely chilling winter days came forth to ensure excellent performance.

“Hiya Meta Knight!” Kirby yelled.

Meta Knight swooped down from his perch using his bat wings to meet up with Kirby.

“Greetings Kirby, did you need me for something?”

“Yes! I wanted you to meet a new friend I made recently!”

“Oh, a new friend?”

“Yup! I want you to meet Rifty!”

Kirby moved over to the side again to present Rifty to Meta Knight.

“Hi!” said Rifty, who seemed to be very intrigued by Meta Knight.

“Eh!? Two Kirbies?! I can’t handle that many!”

Meta Knight was even more surprised than Dedede at the sight of Rifty! He had many questions to ask, was this what became of the star he had seen a few nights ago?

‘Do Kirby and I really look that similar?’ Rifty asked themselves.

Meta Knight landed onto the floor and wrapped his cape around himself, observing the astral before him very carefully.

“Hmm, interesting…very interesting, where did you come from, young one?”

“I don’t know really, I just know that Kirby said he found me lying down in a snowy flower field and brought me to his home, I can’t really remember anything else.”

“I see, very interesting indeed.”

“Meta Knight, what are you doing?” asked a puzzled Kirby.

“Observing, it is not often another one of our kind is present, I must take this opportunity by the reigns! Now, may I ask you a question, young one?”

“Uh, yes, sir?”

“What do you know about the art of the blade?”

“Meta Knight! You can’t just ask people if they know how to use a sword!” Kirby shouted.

“Why not? I am simply just curious. Besides, you know how to wield a blade quite well yourself do you not?”

“But that’s only if I have a copy ability!”

“Well then let’s see how Rifty can handle one!” Meta Knight says as he tosses a wooden sword to Rifty.

“Gah!” Rifty stuttered as they stumbled to catch the blade.

“Now, wail onto this target!” Meta Knight exclaimed as he pulled over a sandbag dummy of a Waddle Dee.

Rifty swiped wildly at the sandbag in front of them, leaving a couple of scratches in the dummy.

”Very fascinating,” inquired Meta Knight, before setting up three more sandbags around Rifty.

Rifty proved to be able to handle a blade pretty well for his first try, being capable of dealing with what Meta Knight put in front of them.

“Bravo bravo!” Meta Knight cheered with applause. “I see you are very capable of handling a blade, young squire.”

“Y-yes! I did my best!” Rifty said as they raised the wooden sword into the air triumphantly.

After finishing their conversation with Meta Knight, Kirby and Rifty were heading through the castle halls on their way home. On the way, they ended up bumping into Bandana Waddle Dee and Sailor Waddle Dee, one of Meta Knight’s crew members.

“Oof! Sorry Kirby!” said Bandana Dee. “We were just on our way to get more apple juice for the stand!”

“I guess we didn’t see where we were going!” remarked Sailor Dee nervously.

Kirby then quickly whispered something to Rifty.

“What have you been up to, Kirby?”

“Oh nothing much! Just showing a new friend around!”

Kirby and Rifty then stood next to each other, mimicking the other’s pose!

“Woah! Two Kirbies?! Am I seeing double?”

“Eek! Did he just multiply?”

Kirby laughed. “We got you guys! This is my new friend Rifty! I’ve been showing him around the castle today. Rifty, this is Bandana Waddle Dee and Sailor Waddle Dee!”

“Hiii! It’s very nice to meet you two!”

The two Waddle Dees greeted Rifty.

“Would you like some apple juice?” asked Bandana Waddle Dee. “It’s freshly made!” He offered a pouch to Kirby and Rifty.

“Ooh yes!” Kirby replied with excitement!

Kirby and Rifty were now out of the castle, on their way home.

“So? What did you think?” Kirby asked.

“Huh? Think about what?”

“My friends! Did you enjoy meeting them?”

Rifty took a moment to collect their thoughts.

“Yes, your friends are very nice. I liked meeting the king the most. The Waddle Dees were nice too, but I don’t know how to feel about the knight, why did he want me to use a sword?”

“That’s just how Meta Knight behaves when meeting new people, he loves to test people’s skills! That’s how we met after all!”

“Oh? How did you meet all of your friends?”

“Well, it all started one day during a spring breeze…”

As Kirby began to recall all of their various adventures, Rifty listened with interest as the two walked home while the sun began to set.

‘I think I’m gonna like it here.’ Rifty thought to themselves.
