This is a fanfic from Wattpad. I decided to go and post this story here. Also, I rewrote the whole chapter so it will be a little different from Wattpad. Also, new fanfic every Saturday!

Plus, all other fanfics which are uploaded by me, they are all cancelled. Except for this one of course.

Kirby, Zero, and anybody else belongs to Nintendo, HAL laboratories, and Warpstar inc. the plot however, is mine.

「零」

Somewhere at North America, there is a girl named Pocahontas. She is a princess of her tribe.

One day, she met an man named John Rolfe; an English man, and fell in love with him.

However, this is not the story we are telling.

Instead, this is the story that took place far in the future when humans have gone extinct.

This is the story of a child and his friends old and new as they lived their everyday lives... with the occasional life-threatening threat.

Popstar. A star-shaped yellow planet that is considered to be the 'brightest planet' in the Gamble galaxy. This is where the hero of the planet, Kirby, lives.

Kirby is a pink soft puffball who has pink stubby arms, no hands. He has beady sapphire blue eyes that shine like the stars, as if you are looking at space. He has rosy red cheeks, and his feet are red. No toes. And no, he doesn't wear shoes. But he doesn't care.

Ten years ago, dark entities have attacked Popstar. They have attacked the planet three times. But what stands out from all of them is the second time.

That time, he met with their leader. Their core.

He brought a blue blob of rebelling Dark Matter to fight. Actually, he's been there in this whole adventure. His name is Gooey.

When they actually go there, Kirby and Gooey wasted no time to fight them, and he did just that. Kirby held on his Love-Love stick and fought.

He first encountered the same Dark Matter that attacked them the first time. It was pretty though that Gooey is knocked out, but he killed them. He feels sad that his friend needs to go.

Suddenly, in a flash of light, a big white sphere appeared out of nowhere. The thing has a single eye with a bloody-red colored sclera. His iris? Just pure black. It's impossible to tell if this thing has a pupil or not.

"Poyo..." Kirby is overwhelmed by the size of that thing that he gasp in awe. He realized that it's still Dark Matter, and shall not be awed by it's size.

"So you are the Kirby person that everyone is talking about aren't you?" The thing asked.

Kirby nodded with determination.

"Ah. I see. I am Zero." They introduced. "And my goal is to kill you and everything you love!" The battle then begins.

Kirby waved the Love-Love stick, causing hearts to pop out from it. It painfully hit Zero, but he still goes on. He then summoned loads of small Dark Matter to attack. Kirby tried to kill them by the stick, but since they are fast, the last one hit Kirby instead.

Zero took it as the chance to kill him. So, he tackled him. Kirby got slammed so hard that he almost got squished like a pancake.

Zero then did an attack that Kirby's guard went down completely.

He then fired what looks like to be lasers, but upon closer inspection, they are actually blood. Kirby freaked out that he got hit by multiple.

He then... disappeared. Or so he thought. He looked at his left, and Zero was there, shooting blood from his... eye. Kirby was shocked that he didn't move, resulting in him getting hit by blood.

But Kirby won't go down. He must save Popstar. If he doesn't, he can't eat all of the fish that Gooey caught. Or worse, can't eat all of the food that he likes. Even in the future. Or even worse, his friends will be gone, and no one is going to eat together with him anymore.

So, with determination, he fought back. He dodged the attacks miraculously, and kept waving. Of course, he did got hit, but he won't let his guard down this time.

However, Zero has one last trick hiding under his sleeve... even if he doesn't have sleeves. Or arms.

The stick's projectiles hurt a lot, so in a last ditch effort, he burst his eye off from his own body while the blood came with him. Only leaving him as a blood-red colored sphere with a black iris.

Kirby is disgusted by that, that he wanted to help... but he can't and must never do... or so he thought.

"If I can't feel happiness, then no one can!" This is what Zero said before he exploded.

That line... Kirby took it as truth.

He might be lying yes, but that's unlikely. From the encounters with Dark Matter, he realized that they never lied. Never gave him and Gooey any wrong directions even if that will destroy their kind.

And, with Kirby's interactions with Gooey, he never lied once.

So... he took it as truth.

"Poyo... can't be happy?" Kirby said with a sad face. Zero looked at Kirby, feeling 'hopeful', but he shook it off and attacked without saying a word.

Kirby flew away from Zero as it tried to tackle him while Kirby did not attack. When he got close however, Kirby waved the stick in defense.

He is losing the will to fight... but he has to. Kirby took a deep breath, and waved the stick at him repeatedly.

However, his waves became slower and slower... until eventually... he stopped.

"...sorry." Kirby said.

"W-What was that?" Zero said, he is wounded badly.

Kirby looked down in sadness.

"You know that might be a lie. Right?" Zero said.

A tear escaped from Kirby's eye in response.

"What are you... going to do?" Zero said.

He shook his head.

He doesn't know what to do.

Uncertainty fills the room.

Until, Kirby thought of something.

"Know what? Friends... poyo?" Kirby offered... offered?

"...no." Zero refused. "After all, who would like to be friends with a monster like me?"

Kirby... didn't know what to do.

"Please?" Kirby offered.

"No."

"Pleaaaaaase?"

Zero let out a sigh.

Kirby waved the stick for a tiny heart to come out and hit Zero.

"Fine! Kill me. Keep in mind that I will come back."

His face turned hopeful.

"Then... if you return, friends poyo! Promise!" Kirby said.

Zero just looked away.

"Poyo... kill you." He then waved the stick in his dismay.

Zero then... exploded. All with the other Dark Matter.

Kirby almost fell into unconsciousness. "Sorry poyo..." he muttered. The stick then shone, making a barrier around him, preventing him from dying from the explosion.

Once he returned to Popstar, he explained all of these to his friends. Some think that it's a lie, while others think that it's actually the truth. Of course, Gooey came back. He, for some reason, came back alive despite all of the Dark Matter dying with their core.

At least he saved the world. He returned home... only to cry resulting to not sleeping. It took a few days of reassurance from his friends in order to return him back to what he was.

Now, he is doing his yearly duty to protect the world from evil. For some reason, loads of them are trying to destroy it. Possibly because it's the brightest planet in the galaxy.

Of course it doesn't means he didn't remember the promise that he made with literally an evil creature. To be friends with it. But he killed... him? Her? He decided to call it a he.

But he knows that he would eventually come back one day. And no, Zero Two isn't him. He's a clone according to Susie... If she is saying the truth that is.

But maybe that day is the monstrosity returns is... spring? This year? After a whole decade? That very same day where he is defeated but a decade later? Which happens to be spring for Popstar people but winter for us!?

To be continued...
