Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Gamewizard2008.
It is with great honor that I welcome you to the Kids Next Door Gameverse.
The Gameverse is an ongoing fanfiction crossover series that I have created, and this is the very first story, Operation: GALACSIA.
While it is a crossover series, it originated as a follow-up fanfic to the cartoonCodename: Kids Next Door.
This first story takes place three months after the KND finale, Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S..
But while KND serves as the foundation for this series, it will steadily evolve into its own universe with unique lore that connects many of its crossovers together.
For now, let the adventure begin.
Prologue: A New Order For as long as we can remember, kids have been at war against the adults.
To this day, people have wondered how all this began.
Some say the adults were created by kids to be their slaves, but ended up rebelling.
Some say the adults rose from a dark netherworld just to enslave us.
But the true story dates back near the beginning of time when our very universe was still in the making.
It all began when a terrible cataclysm befell a once peaceful planet in a distant galaxy.
A planet formerly known as: Wisp.
Fields of grass and flowers of many colors covered the land.
Trees as tall as skyscrapers reached to the sky.
Alien children with small tentacles appeared to be playing a game of tag.
One of these aliens had one eye, and an oval shaped body.
One was cyan colored, and had a round shaped body.
One was dark blue and had a cube shaped body, while the other was yellow with a triangle shaped body and one eye.
Each of these aliens were only as tall as infants.
The last of these creatures was unlike the group of aliens.
It had a snow white body with a star-shaped head.
The star on its head was yellow and had small, blue ribbons on three of the star’s points.
The star child wore a small cape that was cut in half and appeared to have no ears or nose.
The center of its body had a black, crescent shaped line.
Each of these children were floating in midair.
Right now, they were trying to evade the light-blue alien, who appeared to be “it.” “Hurry!
He’s gaining on us!” said the cyan-colored alien as they were flying away from the light-blue one.
“Hey, guys, wait for me!” said the star-headed child, who was falling behind.
The light-blue alien flew as fast as lightning trying to tag the star kid.
“Give it up, Jirachi.
No one escapes from me!
I can fly 74.239 times faster than a regular Wisp!” said the light-blue Wisp.
As he said this, the Wisp closed in, and Jirachi was tagged before he knew it.
The Wisps began to fly in many different directions to avoid being tagged by Jirachi.
Jirachi’s ribbons then began to glow white, and the light-blue alien appeared before his eyes, allowing Jirachi to tag him back.
“Hey, no fair!
You can’t use magic to cheat in tag!” “Says who?
I’m the Star God!
Maker of wishes!
I can do whatever I want!” “More like the Jerk God in that case!” “Oh, lighten up, Gabe.
Let him have his fun.” said the dark-blue Wisp with a Jamaican-sounding accent.
“Besides, it’s not like we’ll be doing this for long, anyway.” “Yeah.” said the cyan Wisp.
“The Star Spirits say he only has two more days until he has to go back to sleep for another century.” Jirachi’s happy expression turned sad upon hearing this.
“Uh…sorry about that.” the cyan Wisp said.
“It’s okay.” replied Jirachi.
“But it’s so not fair!” said the yellow Wisp.
“How come you have to be trapped in that boring old rock for 100 years and only be awake for seven days?” “The Star Spirits say it’s for my own health.” “Oh, come on!” replied Gabe.
“What’s the worst that could happen if you stay awake one day longer than you’re supposed to?” “I don’t know.
But what the spirits say goes, I guess.
Let’s just enjoy the time we have while it lasts!” said Jirachi, his frown becoming a smile again.
As the Wisps and Jirachi were about to continue their game of tag, they were interrupted by the screaming of other Wisps.
Jirachi and his friends noticed a rather tall and monstrous figure in the distance.
“Let’s go see.” Jirachi said as they flew toward the monstrous figure.
When they finally arrived, they the colossal beast stunned them speechless.
The monster was at least 5 stories tall.
It had a blue upper body and a red, furry lower body.
It had yellow eyes, brown hair and beard, a devil tail, and yellow horns.
It looked somewhat like a minotaur, except for the human shaped nose.
The sky began to fill with red clouds that swirled around, unleashing legions of demonic figures.
“Run, you insolent bugs!
The sight of your misery gives me the fuel I need to run my glorious Underworld!” “Hey, ugly!” shouted Jirachi.
“What do you think you’re doing to Planet Wisp?” “How dare you address me in such a way.” remarked the demon.
“I am the King of the Underworld, Malladus!
And I plan to destroy this filthy race, so that my River of Souls will have enough water to last an afterlife!
And YOU: you’re Jirachi, the Star God.
With your power, I’ll have no trouble in establishing my dominion!” “Like I’d ever help you, MallaDOOFUS!” “Then you will perish along with the rest of this planet!” “Run for it, guys!” Malladus fired rays of heat from his eyes.
Jirachi and his Wisp friends split in different directions in evasion.
Malladus focused on burning only Jirachi, but several other Wisps were burned trying to protect the young Star God.
“Jirachi!” shouted the dark-blue Wisp.
“We’ll hold off Malladus!
You need to get out of here!” “But what about you guys?” “We’ll be fine!
You need to find someplace safe!” Jirachi hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to teleport away, noticing the oncoming heat ray.
Star Haven Jirachi reappeared on a floating, blue, star-shaped island somewhere in outer space.
The island sprouted trees with star shaped leaves and was inhabited by star-shaped children.
A river ran through the center of this island with water so clear, it looked almost like a mirror.
The river seemed to be coming from a nearby shrine.
Jirachi flew to said shrine, which had a round fountain making all the clear, reflective water.
There was a pedestal on the top of the fountain which held a rod with a glowing star on top.
Surrounding the fountain were seven star beings that appeared to be meditating.
The first star was male and had a white mustache.
The second was dark yellow, female, and had a pink bow tie on its head.
The third was light purple, male, had a brown mustache, and glasses.
The fourth was male, wore a sailor’s cap, and was light blue.
The fifth was female, had a yellow ribbon go around its body, and was bright pink.
The sixth was male, had a bowtie on its chest, and carried a book, and the seventh was male and had a black mustache.
“Star Spirits!
Star Spirits!” shouted Jirachi, entering the shrine.
“There’s a monster attacking Planet Wisp!” The Star Spirits turned attentively to their frightened child.
“A monster, you say?” asked the mustached star.
“Let’s have a look at this, shall we?” The water began glowing and showed a vision of Malladus’ decimation.
“Oh, I KNEW that Malladus was nothing but trouble.” said the mustached star.
“What do we do?” asked Jirachi.
“Don’t fear, Jirachi.
Your powers surpass Malladus.
If you use your true eye to combine your power with the Star Rod, you may be able to silence him.” Jirachi closed his eyes and the crescent shape that was on his stomach opened to reveal a big, blue eye.
A laser shot from the eye and connected to the Star Rod.
Jirachi’s body began to glow.
Planet Wisp “Jirachi!
Where are you?” inquired Malladus as he continued burning the landscape.
“Hey, Hothead!” Malladus turned to the young Star God hovering above him, his eyes closed.
“Last chance, Jirachi: join me, or taste the full wrath of-” Malladus’ threat went incomplete as Jirachi opened his true eye and fired a storm of shooting stars at the fierce demon.
“AGH!
Cursed little-!” “Sending you back where you came from!” The demon screamed as he was bombarded by the barrage of stars.
Within an instant, a giant star lit up on the ground around Malladus.
Giant chains rose from the star and tied around Malladus.
The chains began to pull him into the star.
“NO!
This cannot be!
RRROOOAAARRGH!” Malladus screamed as he was dragged down into the star, which then disappeared revealing only the ground it appeared on.
Jirachi’s eyes closed as he fainted and fell to the ground.
Hours later… “Hey!
Jirachi!
Get up!” Jirachi awakened to find the light and dark blue Wisps hovering above him.
“Gabe?
Jeremy?
What happened?
Where’s Malladus?” “Malladus is locked somewhere in the Underworld.” said the dark-blue Wisp, Jeremy.
“You did quite a number on him.
And yourself.
You’ve been out for about a day.” “Where’s all the other Wisps?” “As far as we can tell,” replied Gabe, “we’re the only ones left.” Jirachi got up and looked around to see, not only was there not a Wisp in sight, the entire landscape had burned.
All the grass and trees that once flourished had been reduced to ash from Malladus’s attack.
“No.
Oh no…” Jirachi broke down and cried a waterfall of tears.
His only remaining friends hugged him in comfort.
The seven Star Spirits descended, mourning with their child.
“How awful.” said the female star with a bowtie.
“Planet Wisp was one of the most beautiful planets in Galaxia.” “If only there was something we can do.” said the pink star.
“Can’t you guys use the Star Rod to, like, restore this place or something?” Gabe asked.
“We could”, replied the mustached star, “but both Jirachi and the Star Rod lost quite a bit of power imprisoning Malladus.
The two of them can only be powered by granting wishes.
We can lend the last of our power to Jirachi, but we don’t have time to wait for enough wishes to completely revitalize the Star Rod before Jirachi has to go back to sleep.
And we’ll need the powers of both to restore this planet.” “Isn’t there a way to restore it faster?” Gabe asked.
“Perhaps I can lend my aid.” A dark, sinister voice spoke.
The Stars, Jirachi, and the two Wisps searched for its source.
A black shadowy figure popped up, scaring the children.
It had skinny arms with three fingers on his hands, and black, ghostly flames coming out of his shoulders.
His head looked like a small, skinny, white flame with one blue eye on the bottom of it.
His body looked like a ripped cloak and a red torso around its head.
“Darkrai!” exclaimed Eldstar.
“What are you doing here?” “I heard that my good friend, Malladus was in town, so I thought I’d pay a visit.
Then I found these two Wisps trying to wake up Jirachi, so I thought I’d hang around here in shadow until something happened.
I’d be happy to lend my power.
No charge.” “How strangely considerate of you…” “But first, what are the chances Malladus won’t just come back and burn this place to ash, again?
The reason the Wisps were so powerless before him is because they didn’t have the mind to take care of themselves.
They are all just children.” “What do you propose to do, Darkrai?” “Simple: along with children, we need adults!” “What are adults?” asked Jirachi.
“Adults are like us, Jirachi.” answered Mamar.
“The same way we watch over and protect you, they care for their own children.” “How come I’ve never seen them?” “Because you have yet to see other regions of the universe.
In other regions, not everyone are eternally young like the Wisps.
Some beings grow older and taller, and they take responsibility to guide the young ones.” “They sound boring!” “Yes,” replied the Nightmare King, “but all beings need them for their survival.
For their well-being.” “Well, if it means saving Planet Wisp, then let’s do it.” “Excellent!” exclaimed Nightmare.
“Now, let’s head back to the Star Sanctuary.” Star Haven Jirachi was levitating above the Fountain of Dreams, his eyes closed.
The Star Spirits had lent him their power.
The Nightmare King and Eldstar came drifting into the shrine carrying swords.
Nightmare held a silver sword with a black and yellow handle with a strange face.
Eldstar held a pure golden sword with a red emblem on its handle.
The edges of the sword looked spiky, like lightning bolts.
“With the combined power of my Nightmare Sword with Galaxia,” explained Darkrai, “we should be able to restore the Star Rod back to full power.” Eldstar and Darkrai raised their swords and stuck them into the Star Rod’s pedestal.
The shrine began to quake and tremble as the Nightmare King spoke: “O Great Star Rod!
Hear that which I desire: restore Planet Wisp back to its former glory.
Bring the children that once ran through its fields back to life, as well as tall and mature beings that will watch over and protect them from harm!” Jirachi opened his true eye and a beam connected him and the Star Rod.
A beam of light shot from the shrine and headed straight for Planet Wisp.
The beam created an explosion of light as it hit the planet.
Once the light cleared, the ruin that was once there was replaced by the vegetation and Wisp children that once covered it.
The planet was back to its old self with one minor difference: green aliens with red, bulgy eyes and black antennas covered the land as well.
Some of them were short, while others were tall.
Once the light beam faded completely, Darkrai spoke, “The green creatures are the result of the nightmare power added to the Star Rod.
They shouldn’t be too much trouble, but you may need to explain the duties to the tall ones.
Those are the adults.
I need to get back to building my glorious city.
You all should come and see Nightmare Land once it’s finished.” “Thanks for your help, Darkrai!” exclaimed the pink star.
“Don’t thank me yet, Misstar.
As you stars may know, wishes tend to backfire.” And with that, Nightmare took off into the starry sky.
The Star Spirits turned to see Jirachi exhausted.
“Are you all right, Jirachi?” asked Eldstar.
“I…I think so.” “I think it’s time for you to go to sleep.” “But I don’t want to go back in that rock!” “Don’t worry, Jirachi!” said his good friend, Gabe.
“We’ll be here when you wake up 100 years later.
Wisps live a pretty long time!” “Promise?” This time, Jeremy spoke: “We promise.” Jirachi smiled at this and closed his eyes.
The two halves of his cape wrapped around his body and began to glow.
In an instant, a purple stone appeared around Jirachi’s body and sealed him inside.
“Sleep well, young Jirachi.” Eldstar said as the glow from the rock slowly faded.
100 years later… At long last, the 100 years of sleeping for Jirachi were finally over.
The young Star God awakened from his rock with a beaming expression.
“I can’t wait to see how the planet looks, now!” Jirachi exclaimed as his ribbons glowed, and he teleported away.
Planet Wisp Jirachi was unprepared for the horrific sight.
Instead of the miles of grass and trees, there were factories producing smoke that covered the sky.
The green creatures created by the nightmare energy were now in red soldier-like uniforms, standing guard at various areas.
The tall ones, the “adults,” were using vacuum-like contraptions to suck in fleeing Wisps.
As Jirachi continued to look around, he was spotted by two child aliens.
“Hey, you!” one them called.
“All Wisps are supposed to be going to the weapon factories, pronto!” “Dude!” the other alien said.
“That’s no Wisp!
That’s Jirachi, the Star God!” “What?
Hey, that IS Jirachi!” “The Almighty Tallest is going to be happy to see you!” “Now, wait just a second!” yelled Jirachi.
“I wanna know what the heck is going on here!” “Shut up!
You’re in no position to speak, Brat!” As he spoke, the aliens took out rods with electricity and zapped Jirachi, stunning him.
“Come on!
We’re taking you to the Tallest.” Irken Factory The two soldiers dragged Jirachi with an electric net through the halls of a factory.
As they went, Jirachi peeked inside open rooms that were holding Wisps in cylindrical containers.
He certainly hoped Gabe and Jeremy were okay.
At last, they arrived at an enormous door with a symbol that looked like the face of most of the adult aliens he’s seen around.
He noticed that this symbol was in several places around the planet as well.
The soldiers dragged Jirachi through the big door and entered a throne room.
Sitting on the throne was a buff-looking alien dressed in black and white armor, holding a golden scepter with the aliens’ symbol on it.
“So… the Star God has finally come down to us.” “Alright, who are you, and what have you done to Planet Wisp?” asked an angered Jirachi.
“First of all, there is no more Planet Wisp!
As the new, self-proclaimed ruler of this planet, I—Emperor Irk, have decided to rename this in the name of the irritation we adults have had to suffer with these brats!
It is now Planet Irk!” “What irritation?
What did the Wisps ever do to you?
I thought the Star Spirits said you were supposed to take care of children, not enslave them!” “We were.
The Star Spirits explained our duties to take care of these kids and show them right from wrong, and we went with it.
But that BEFORE we learned how annoying they were!
They don’t listen to a thing we tell them, they’re uncivilized, EVERY one of them!
So we decided, ‘Why should we have to put up with this?
Why should we care for these ungrateful brats when the spirits made US to be in charge of them?’ So, instead of letting them have their pitiful, carefree, chaotic lives, we decided to bring a little order to their souls.
And thus, the mighty Irken Empire was born!” “But what are you doing with the Wisps?” Jirachi asked.
“After enslaving the children of our planet, we figured, why stop there?
Our planet may not be the only one with miscreant brats.
So, we plan to spread our glorious adulthood to the rest of the children of the universe, and the Wisps provide a great energy source for doing so.
But with the power of Jirachi by my side, we’ll be unstoppable!” “There’s no way I’m helping you!” Jirachi shot back as he tried, but failed, to escape from his electric net.
“Fight back as much as you want, but I-” “SIR!” shouted a panicked Irken soldier as he burst into the room.
“W-We have a small problem with the Wisps!” “What is it, Splork?” “Well, some of the Wisps were resisting, so we zapped them with our, uhh…zappy thingies, and when we did, they turned all-” But before he could finish, a pack of dark purple Wisps with horns, sharp teeth, and no eyes burst into the room, tackled Irk and his soldiers, and chewed Jirachi’s net, allowing him to escape.
Emperor Irk shook all the dark Wisps off of him and bellowed, “Don’t just stand there, you fools!
GET HIM!” “Gabe!
Jeremy!
Where are you?!” Jirachi flew through the halls of the colossal factory in desperation.
“Jirachi!
Over here!” Jirachi turned to one of the containers and noticed Gabe and Jeremy squished in with the other Wisps.
Gabe wasn’t too hard to tell apart from other Wisps, seeing as how he was one of the few who had freckles.
Jirachi’s ribbons glowed and fired three stars at their container, destroying it.
Soon afterwards, they were surrounded by Irken soldiers.
“C’mon!
Let’s get to Star Haven!” Jirachi warped the three of them away, avoiding the oncoming gunfire.
Star Haven “Star Spirits!
Those green adult guys have taken over Wisp!” “Darkrai!” Eldstar instinctively knew.
“I knew he would pull something like this!
Any creation of his is nothing but trouble!” “So, what do we do now?” asked Jirachi.
“Surrender.” As the voice of Emperor Irk reverberated the room, the walls of the shrine were blown to pieces.
Once the smoke cleared, the adult emperor stepped in and glared at the fountain.
“How did he catch up so fast?!” Jirachi panicked.
“The Nightmare King lent me a nice tool to trace your teleportation energy and reopen it.
Ah… the Fountain of Dreams.
Water made up of the hopes, dreams, and wishes throughout the universe, and the source of life for all star beings.
Powered by none other than the great Star Rod, which grants those wishes.
With its power, I will have no trouble in controlling Jirachi and spreading my adult tyranny!” “Just what makes you think you’ll be able to control Jirachi?” shouted Gabe.
“Because, you idiot, the Star Rod is a part of Jirachi!
Whoever holds the rod gets control of Jirachi, along with the wishes!
And now it’s all mine!” As Irk attempted to run up and grab the Star Rod, he was held back by a swarm of Star Kids.
“Hey!
Get off me, you pathetic pieces of confetti!” “We can’t risk him getting the Star Rod.” said Eldstar.
“There’s only one thing we can do.” “But Eldstar!
If we do THAT, then Jirachi might-” began Misstar.
“Jirachi will be fine.
We can’t risk losing it to Irk.
Open the chamber.” At his command, Misstar flew to the Star Rod and tilted it like a lever.
In an instant, the fountain stopped its flowing and moved to the side, revealing a secret room.
Eldstar flew down into it: the Galaxia Sword rested on a star-shaped pedestal.
He drew the sword and brought it back up to the shrine.
He floated by the Star Rod and held the sword ready.
Emperor Irk shook off the Star Kids in time to see this.
“What are you doing?!” Before he could react, Eldstar swung the sword at the Star Rod, shattering it into seven colored stars, which flew in different directions.
“NOOOO!” Emperor Irk screamed as he tried to grab one of the stars, but failed.
While he was doing this, the river that was created by the fountain dried up in seconds.
Jirachi’s body began to fade to a darker color, and he fell to the ground.
Gabe and Jeremy rushed over to see what was wrong.
While Jeremy felt his head looking for a fever, Eldstar rushed over.
“There isn’t much time!
Hurry!
You two must take the Star Ship and take Jirachi somewhere safe!” After saying this, a small, blue boat with rockets, a glass dome, and a star painted on the front rose up from the ground.
“But what about Jirachi?” exclaimed Gabe.
“He’s not looking too well.” “Jirachi will be okay, as long as he is with you two.
For now, you must take him as far away from Irk as possible.” Feeling the urgency of the situation, Gabe and Jeremy carried Jirachi into the ship, which shot off into the sky.
Emperor Irk watched as it took off and turned his attention to the spirits.
“You may have delayed my conqueration for now, but mark my words: with or without the Star Rod, I will not rest until every little brat in this universe has achieved glorious adulthood.
Even if it takes eternity!” An Irken ship arrived to ferry its emperor away.
Once he was gone, the Star Spirits stared at the dried up fountain with remorse.
“Without the Star Rod, there is nothing to make the fountain flow.” said Mamar.
“Now, now, Mamar.” said Eldstar.
“Just because the Star Rod is gone, doesn’t mean the wishes are.
As long as people in the universe have hope, the fountain will indeed flow.
Though not quite as strong.” “But what about Jirachi?
If he isn’t in his rock by his appointed time, he may be in great danger.” said the light-blue star.
“As long as Jirachi has his friends, he will be fine.
But…” Eldstar paused in his sentence, feeling dread in the stars.
“…Wherever they end up, I hope they are in good hands.” Now loading… Kids Next Door mission… Operation: G.A.L.A.C.S.I.A.
Great Almighty Leaders Attempt Conqueration So Immortality Arises Loading transmission… The Star Spirits come from Paper Mario, along with Star Haven, the Dream Fountain and the Galaxia Sword are from Kirby, Jirachi and Darkrai are from Pokémon, the Wisps are from Sonic Colors, Malladus is from Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and the Irkens are from Invader Zim.
(But I came up with Emperor Irk.)
