A/N: If you've played Kirby Super Star Ultra, you'll know exactly what I mean about the True Arena.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kirby or any of the other characters.

Kirby was content with himself. But he was also very bored. He had done everything worth doingin the past few months.

Thinking back on it he'd...

Slaughtered thousands of enemies with their own abilities.

Gotten all of Dreamland's food back from King Dedede.

Beaten King Dedede in a race.

Stopped Dynablade from ruining Dreamland's crops.

Taught Dynablade's chicks how to fly.

Found 60 treasures in a deep underground cave.

Escaped the underground cave.

Stopped Meta-Knight and his crew from invading Dreamland.

Collected stars from each of Popstar's neighboring planets in order to summon Nova, the mechanical comet, so that the sun and the moon would stop fighting.

Found all the Copy Essence Deluxes on all the planets too.

Kept Popstar from falling into Marx's clutches.

Entered a tournament and defeated all of his old rivals.

Accepted a challenge from King Dedede for an ultimate showdown and won.

And now he was bored.

Just then a flyer came by and hit Kirby in the face. Plucking it off, the star warrior saw that it was advertising an event called the True Arena. It featured a dreary-looking forest with a huge coliseum set in the middle with demonic faces carved into the middle of it. There was also a list of the roster on the bottom of the flyer too. There were ten fights in all, and most of them were against the foes he had encountered on the way to his rematch with King Dedede.

The last four combatants had their profiles blacked out in order to hide their identities, with the words "The Final Four" written above them in a fancy font.

"This is great!" shouted Kirby.

In just two seconds, Kirby bolted off to the forest, where the contest was being held.

Finally an exciting new contest where he could prove how strong he was against his old enemies and win a shiny gold trophy too.

He couldn't wait to rub it in Meta-Knight's face once he became champ!

Half an hour later......

Kirby was running like a madman across the surface of a rocky planetoid in outer space, trying to keep one step ahead of Galacta Knight, who was attempting to swoop down on Kirby like an evil angel of death.

"Goddamn you, Nintendo!!!" yelled Kirby, jumping over a wave of blue energy.

Moral: You should never underestimate the cruelty of game developers.

A/N: Stone, Hammer, and Plasma FTW :P
