Meanwhile in Dream Land, Bandana Waddle Dee is doing some cleaning in castle Dedede. Two Waddle Dees come to report their duties to him, who quickly passes their next tasks. However, he realizes the their voices sound weird, and he turns to them, seeing that they are made of yarn.

Inside the castle, King Dedede is eating some snacks, bored. Two Waddle Dees come in to serve him, and one says that the king is tired, and they should treat his shoulders. Dedede finds it weird, but ultimately agrees, and lets the Dees do their massage. However, he realizes they are tying his arms in yarn, starting to suspect something is off, and before he can understand, the Dees have completely tied him up. Yin-Yarn then shows up, saying he expected more of a great king, and that regardless now he will be his subordinate. Building up anger, Dedede is almost tearing apart the yarn tying him up. Realizing this, Yin-Yarn makes the sock around his neck glow and suck up Dedede to Patch Land. With Dedede gone, Yin-Yarn says his conquest of Dream Land is one step closer.

Back to Patch Land, Kirby and Fluff are walking through a vast desert of Hot Land. Tired of walking under the scalding sun, Kirby suggests them to take a break. Fluff says he thinks there is a cave inside a nearby mountain, and they head in that direction. However, as they reach there, they realize it's actually a volcano, and the cave is hotter than outside. Fluff apologizes to Kirby, and they decide to give up on the cave, hoping they can find the Magic Yarn soon. However, they notice a hole and a creature come out of it, but it's not Me-Devil as they expect: it's a creature like him, but with a triangular sharp helmet instead. The creature starts to charge towards the two, and they decide to simply run away, with Fluff riding Kirby transformed into a car. The creature chases them until they reach a cactus: Kirby jumps over it, while the creature hits it and gets knocked out.

He says Me-Devil told him of some strong people on Patch Land, but he could not believe cute kids like Kirby and Fluff could be that strong, so he attacked them to see if it was really true. Realizing he's like Me-Devil, Fluff asks Ye-Devil for information regarding who guards the Magic Yarn of Hot Land, and he says it's [[Hot Wings]], who is at a mountain they can only reach by going through the cave from earlier. Fluff says they can't go through the cave, and Ye-Devil gives them a solution: a Metamortex. He gives it to Kirby, who transforms into a [[Fire Engine]], which has a hose that can shoot water. Fluff thanks Ye-Devil, who says it's nothing, as Yin-Yarn splitting the continents of Patch Land also split his world, and he also wants it patched back together. With that settled, Kirby and Fluff head towards the cave.

Plot synopsis

Prologue

Kirby goes to Chef Kawasaki's restaurant to get lunch, but unexpectedly finds it closed. Kirby calls Kawasaki, who tells him he's sick, and that his restaurant will stay closed for an unknown period of time. Disappointed, Kirby accepts and wishes him a speedy recovery, but before he can leave, Kawasaki warns Kirby to be careful: if he finds someone made of yarn, he should stay away from them. Kirby does not understand, and while Kawasaki tries to reaffirm how they are dangerous, Kirby gets distracted thinking of food and doesn't listen to him, eventually leaving him behind.

Inside the restaurant, Kawasaki recalls how he was attacked earlier while he went to gather ingredients. The evil yarn person transformed his body into yarn, and he was so embarrassed about it that he closed his restaurant, and lied to Kirby about him having a cold. He regrets doing that, worried now that Kirby did not take his warning seriously, and that he could get into trouble if he also gets transformed into yarn.

In the meantime, Kirby, still hungry, wonders where he will find food, when a tomato rolls in front of him. Without thinking twice, he starts to inhale his favorite food, not realizing it's actually made of yarn. From the nearby bushes, a person completely made of yarn with a big hat shows up, and yells at Kirby not to eat his magic tomato, the Metamato, but it's too late, and Kirby eats it. Swallowing it and realizing how it tastes different from a regular tomato, Kirby finally notices the yarn person, and realizes it's likely the one Kawasaki warned him about. Angry at Kirby, the yarn person makes a sock he has with him start sucking up the air, lifting up Kirby. Confused, and unable to do anything, Kirby ends up being sent inside the sock.

Chapter 1: Yarn Kirby?!

After falling for a while, Kirby eventually lands on an open field. He looks around and finds the landscape strange: everything looks as if it was made of yarn and fabric. Before he can understand where he is, Kirby hears someone crying for help, and sees a blue boy being chased by a horned monster. Kirby doesn't think twice and attempts to inhale the monster, but he cannot for some reason, and that is when he realizes his body is now also made of yarn. Worried and unsure what to do, but still wanting to help the boy, Kirby ends up transforming into a car somehow. He dashes in front of the boy and he jumps on Kirby, telling him to go towards a castle. Kirby does as ordered, leaving the monster behind.

In front of the castle, Kirby stops and the boy jumps off of him. Kirby transforms back, and the two introduce each other: the blue boy says he's Fluff. He asks where Kirby is from, and when he says Dream Land, Fluff admits he hasn't heard of it before. Concluding that Kirby is a traveler from faraway, Fluff asks him to tell him his story. Kirby agrees, thinking Fluff can help him get home after a quick talk, unaware that an adventure awaits them.

Chapter 2: A Great Adventure with Prince Fluff!

Now inside the castle, which Kirby notes that is completely made of yarn, Fluff introduces himself again, saying he's the prince of Patch Land. He explains that it used to a be a peaceful country, until an evildoer named Yin-Yarn attacked and split Patch Land into multiple parts, aiming to conquer the world. Fluff was about to start a journey to restore it, when he was attacked, and saved by Kirby. Kirby mentions how he has no clue how he was able to transform into a car, prompting Fluff to ask how he even came to Patch Land. Kirby explains what happened earlier, and when he mentions a tomato, Fluff has a thought: perhaps it was one of those rare, magic Metamatos said to be able to grant powers to whoever eats one. Hearing the name, Kirby says that indeed, that was what the capped man mentioned. Right after, Fluff asks Kirby to lend his strength to help restore Patch Land, to which Kirby quickly accepts, feeling bad for Fluff. Before they leave, however, Kirby mentions he's hungry, to which Fluff laughs and asks his chefs to prepare them food. However, when the food is brought, Kirby notices it's all made of yarn, and he's sad. He asks for real food, to which Fluff says that is real food where they are. Kirby gives in and eats the food, realizing it tastes like real food. While he eats, however, he starts to think of Kawasaki's food, missing it, but he ends up brushing it off and just continues to eat. Both now full and having eaten well, Kirby and Fluff leave the castle, ready to start their adventure.

Walking around a grassy field, Fluff says they are now in Grass Land, which used to be pacific until Yin-Yarn attacked, and surely enough, after saying that, an Uniclod appears. Kirby tries to inhale the monster out of instinct, but he remembers he cannot in his current state. Fluff tells Kirby to transform into a car and they can both run away, but before Kirby can do that, the Uniclod attempts to hit Fluff with his horn. Desperate, Kirby extends his hand towards Fluff, which unexpectedly causes a woolen yarn like a whip to come out of his hand. It hits the monster, tearing it apart completely. Fluff asks Kirby what was that, and Kirby doesn't know how he did it. He tries to do the same thing again, and extends his hand towards an apple tree, causing the whip to appear again and grab an apple from it. Finding it convenient, and happy that they can now beat the monsters easily, the two continue their journey.

Chapter 3: Big Fierce Fighting with Metamortex Transformations!!

As Kirby and Fluff walk, they hear an evil laugh, and look around trying to find its source. They spot a hole and see an eyeball from it, and Fluff, worried, says they were found by the ones who live on the other side of their world, the people of the lining. The hole grows larger, and a round one-eyed purple creature with bat-like wings comes out of it, and starts flying around laughing maniacally. They start throwing some black balls, which appear harmless at first, but they actually have spikes: one hits Fluff and he gets hurt. Angry at the creature, Kirby tries to attack them with his yarn whip, but they dodge, and throw a ball at Kirby, which he also dodges. They do that for a while, when Kirby wonders if he can throw something bigger at them. He looks at the apple tree from earlier, and grabs the largest apple he can find with his yarn whip, and throws it at the creature: they cannot dodge and are hit. Defeated, the creature comments how it was so much fun, and starts laughing a lot.

With the matter settled, Fluff asks if they are subordinate of Yin-Yarn, which they deny. They introduced themselves as Me-Devil, and says he was attracted to that side of the world after hearing Kirby battle with the Uniclod earlier, wanting to battle him as well. The devil says that, as a prize for their fun time just now, he can give them secret information only people of his world know. Kirby, without thinking twice, asks for "gourmet information", but Fluff quickly instead asks for information on how to put the continents together, which Kirby agrees to take prevalence over his request. Me-Devil says that to do that they need the Magic Yarn, and points out how Yin-Yarn's henchman probably each hold a piece of it: there is one guarding each continent. He comments how in Grass Land it's a dragon named Fangora, and that it likely is in the sky. Kirby wonders then how they can battle it, and Fluff suggests to wreak havoc on Grass Land, its territory, to anger it and make it go after them. Kirby thinks of causing a mess with apples, but Fluff says that won't be enough, and asks Me-Devil if he knows of any weapon. He says that, since Kirby ate a Metamato, he can undergo a Metamortex Transformation if he touches a Metamortex, but he doesn't know where to find one. Fluff thinks that maybe the treasure room of his castle may have one, and he runs towards the castle, with Kirby following.

In the castle's treasure room, Fluff ends up finding a rainbow-colored ring, and he explains to Kirby that this is a treasure his ancestors found long ago deep in a forest, but never found a use for. Fluff gives the ring to Kirby, which causes him to transform into a giant round robot, surprising both of them. Fluff asks if Kirby is fine, and when he replies, missiles fly off from his mouth. He says sorry, and once again missiles fly off. Fluff realizes missiles fly every time Kirby talks, so he begs him to stop talking completely. With that settled, Fluff celebrates and jumps on the robot's cockpit, saying he will give Kirby instructions, and decides to call this transformation "Tankbot". He pulls a lever inside it, causing a mechanical glove to rotate around it, and says that now Fangora won't stand a chance against them.

The two go back to Grass Land, and start to beat monsters over and over easily with the Tankbot, which soon enough draws the attention of Fangora. When it shows up, Kirby shoots missiles at it, but it easily destroyed them with wind gusts, and then counter attacks shooting fireballs, which hit the Tankbot. Complaining about the heat, Kirby starts to flap him arms, which makes one of them touch a nearby tree, making him roll around it and unraveling the transformation, transforming him back to normal. Fangora continues to attack, but Kirby manages to dodge the fireballs, now that he's a smaller target. Fluff and Kirby start to take turns throwing rocks at the dragon, which keeps looking at Fluff, then Kirby, then Fluff, over and over, until it gets dizzy and opens it mouth, revealing a tongue with a button on it. Fluff tells Kirby to pull that button, and he does so with his yarn whip. Like a tug of war match, Kirby and Fangora both start pulling in their direction, and Fluff goes to help Kirby pull, until they both coordinate to let go at the same time, causing the tongue to go right back at Fangora, hitting it so hard its body starts to fall apart. As it does, a strong light appears, which Fluff recognizes as a piece of the Magic Yarn. The Magic Yarn flies off and puts two continents together as the ground shakes. Happy, Fluff says next they should go to Hot Land, and runs off in its direction, as Kirby follows him.

Chapter 4: The Dedede Castle Takeover Operation?!

Meanwhile in Dream Land, Bandana Waddle Dee is doing some cleaning in castle Dedede. Two Waddle Dees come to report their duties to him, and he quickly passes their next tasks. However, he realizes that their voices sound weird, and he turns to them, seeing that they are made of yarn. The Dees, being found out, laugh and ambush Bandana Dee, tying him in yarn, making it impossible for him to move. From the shadows, a man made of yarn emerges, and celebrates the success of his operation. Bandana Dee gathers courage to ask what he wants to do, and Yin-Yarn says he also wants to take over their world. As Yin-Yarn knits more yarn Waddle Dees, Bandana Dee realizes that he is making imposter Dees infiltrate among the real ones, and says he has to tell King Dedede about this, but Yin-Yarn says it's too late. Not being able to do anything, Bandana Dee is hopeful that his king won't fall for Yin-Yarn's tricks.

Inside the castle, King Dedede is eating some snacks, bored. Two Waddle Dees come to serve him, and one says that the king is tired, and they should treat his shoulders. Dedede finds it weird, but ultimately agrees, and lets the Dees do their massage. However, he realizes they are tying his arms in yarn, starting to suspect something is off, and before he can understand, the Dees have completely tied him up. Yin-Yarn then shows up, saying he expected more of a great king, and that regardless now Dedede will be his subordinate. Yin-Yarn realizes that Dedede is building up anger, and almost tearing apart the yarn tying him up, so he makes the sock around his neck glow and suck up Dedede to Patch Land. With Dedede gone, Yin-Yarn says his conquest of Dream Land is one step closer.

Back to Patch Land, Kirby and Fluff are walking through a vast desert of Hot Land. Tired of walking under the scalding sun, Kirby suggests them to take a break, and Fluff says he thinks there is a cave inside a nearby mountain, and they head in that direction. However, as they reach there, they realize it's actually a volcano, and the cave is hotter than outside. Fluff apologizes to Kirby, and they decide to give up on the cave, hoping they can find the Magic Yarn soon. However, they notice a hole and a creature come out of it, but it's not Me-Devil as they expect: it's a creature like him, but with a triangular sharp helmet instead. The creature starts to charge towards the two, and they decide to simply run away, with Fluff riding Kirby transformed into a car. The creature chases them until they reach a cactus: Kirby jumps over it, while the creature hits it and gets knocked out. After getting back to their senses, they laugh and introduced themself as Ye-Devil. He says Me-Devil told him about some strong people on Patch Land, but he could not believe cute kids like Kirby and Fluff could be that strong, so he attacked them to see if it was really true. Realizing he's like Me-Devil, Fluff asks Ye-Devil for information regarding who guards the Magic Yarn of Hot Land, and he says it's Hot Wings, who is at a mountain they can only reach by going through the cave from earlier. Fluff says they can't go through the cave, and Ye-Devil gives them a solution: a Metamortex. He gives it to Kirby, who transforms into a Fire Engine, which has a hose that can shoot water. Fluff thanks Ye-Devil, who says it's nothing, as Yin-Yarn splitting the continents of Patch Land also split his world, and he also wants it patched back together. With that settled, Kirby and Fluff head towards the cave.

Chapter 5: New Powers, Ravel Abilities!

Kirby and Fluff enter the cave, as Kirby cools down any fires and lava around them, letting them go through without major issues. The inside is steep, so they start to walk up inside the cave, while they wonder what Hot Wings is like. Suddenly, they start being attacked by molten rocks, and they see a subordinate of Yin-Yarn: a Calderon. It continues to attack them, until Kirby attacks it with water, causing it to panic and flee. Before they continue, Fluff realizes the Calderon left behind something: it's some sort of shining yarn ball. Fluff then recognizes it and says that's a Ravel Ball, that can grant a Ravel Ability, and starts to ramble about how Ravel Abilities are used by the most important ministry of his country, as a confused Kirby watches him. Done talking, Fluff asks Kirby to drop his Metamortex Transformation, and he does as ordered. Given the Yarn Ball, it goes to Kirby's head and transforms into a hat with two needles in it, and Fluff realizes it's the Knitting Needles Ravel Ability. He asks Kirby to knit something, but Kirby says he doesn't know how to knit, much to Fluff's surprise, as that's something everyone in Patch Land knows. Still, he insists, saying that with the ability Kirby likely can, and Kirby tries to think of something to knit, when the needles on his hat start to move and a yarn ball with a star inside it is knitted. Kirby throws it at a rock, making a loud sound, and Fluff comments how they can use it to battle Hot Wings. And so, they continue making their way through the cave.

Reaching the peak of the mountain, Fluff and Kirby start to look for Hot Wings, when lava comes from the ground, and a phoenix-like bird emerges from it. She starts to shoot fireballs at them, and the two dodge. Using his Ravel Ability, Kirby creates a yarn ball and throws it in Hot Wings' direction, but she quickly disperses the ball with the wind that comes from her wings. As she goes to attack Fluff, Kirby extends his hand towards his friend, causing his yarn whip to appear and grab one of the fireballs. The fireball is unraveled, and the knitting needles from his ability use its yarn to create and even bigger yarn ball. Kirby throws it towards Hot Wings, who fails to disperse it like before due to it being bigger, and it gets hit by the yarn ball. Fluff tells Kirby to look for her weak point, when Kirby spots a button, like the one Fangora had, on her chest. Kirby throws his whip towards it, and pulls Hot Wings, causing her to hit a rock. Defeated, her body starts to fall apart, and a shining yarn thread appears: another piece of the Magic Yarn. It flies up and connects two more continents together. Happy, Kirby and Fluff celebrate and start running towards their next destination.

Flying in the skies of Dream Land is the battleship Halberd, with Meta Knight on the deck. He looks towards Dream Land, commenting how something is strange. He is interrupted by Captain Vul, who comes to tell him that the cameras are confirming his suspicion: that everyone in Dream Land was transformed into yarn. Meta Knight asks if that applies to Kirby and King Dedede as well, but Vul says they weren't spotted at all, which Meta Knight finds strange. As he says they need to investigate it better, Meta Knight hears some laughing and realizes a man made of yarn showed up. Yin-Yarn announces he will take over the Halberd, and realizing the danger, Meta Knight is about to draw his sword. However, Yin-Yarn is faster and uses his sock to suck up Meta Knight to Patch Land before he can even attack. Laughing once again, Yin-Yarn says he's now the supreme ruler of Dream Land.

Chapter 6: The Three One-Eyed Devils!

Kirby and Fluff continue their journey, defeating bosses and putting back continents, until they reach Snow Land, which is very cold. As they say they need to find the boss of that continent soon, a hole in the fabric appears, and a creature who is not Me-Devil or Ye-Devil appears: they are pink and have a long tail with a heart at the end. The creature starts shooting lasers at them, and Kirby and Fluff start running, as they go after them. Not having any transformation or ability, Kirby has the idea to throw snowballs at them, and he starts doing that alongside Fluff. However, they are shown to be useless as the creature keeps dodging it. Realizing that, Fluff stops worried, but Kirby continues, having fun alongside the creature somehow. Fluff decides to go back to throwing snowballs, but as he goes to create one he finds something hidden underneath some snow: a Ravel Ball. He gives it to Kirby, who gets the Marking Pins Ravel Ability. Fluff goes to explain what pins are to Kirby, but he says he knows due to his friend Waddle Dee, and he starts to wonder about him, after all Kirby suddenly left Dream Land and maybe that left his friend worried. Regardless, Kirby remembers he has to battle, and shoots some pins at the creature, who gets hit and falls on the ground. Kirby goes after them, worried and sorry he hurt them, but they just start laughing and say they lost.

The creature says they are We-Devil, and went after Kirby and Fluff after hearing stories about them from Me-Devil and Ye-Devil. Kirby and Fluff ask her to give them information about the boss of Snow Lands, which prompts We-Devil to say to Kirby specifically that it will be a very challenging battle, and that it will be a foe that Kirby won't want to battle, but he should regardless. And that, in fact, there will be two battles like that, and they can only progress if they win those battles. We-Devil continues and says that they shouldn't be tricked by Yin-Yarn, and that he is not what he appears to be, and is much more wicked than he looks. While Kirby and Fluff continue being confused about her comments, the hole reappears and she declares she gave the information, and leaves, leaving Fluff much disappointed, as she didn't give direct and valuable information like the other devils did, and he questions if she even knows anything useful. Regardless, they decide to move on, when We-Devil comes back and says that she was going to give them a Metamortex, but since she heard them bad-mouthing her, she is having her doubts. Fluff says sorry and says it was just him, and that Kirby did nothing wrong, so she should give the Metamortex to Kirby. We-Devil laughs and throws it at Kirby, who transforms into some sort of surfer, and she says that's the Spin Boarder transformation. Fluff says it doesn't look powerful, realizing right after he shouldn't complain, when an annoyed We-Devil explains that that is the best way to go through Snow Land and reach the enemy they are looking for. Kirby asks once again who it is, but We-Devil simply laughs, bids farewell and leaves.

Chapter 7: A Formidable Yarn Foe Appears!

With his new transformation, Kirby starts to slide through the snow, and Fluff jumps on him, not wanting to be left behind. They cross Snow Land fast until they find a tree, and Kirby dodges it last minute, making them fall. They realize they reached a forest and Fluff says the boss is likely inside. Kirby realizes he cannot proceed unless he drops his transformation, so he does by wrapping around a tree, and the two enter the forest.

In the forest, they hear a sound and eventually see someone appear from between the trees. Kirby immediatelly recognizes them: King Dedede, although completely made of yarn. Shouting his name, Kirby goes after him, and starts to ask how he ended up in Patch Land, but Dedede simply does not answer. Fluff tells Kirby he should be careful, but Kirby tells him that Dedede is his friend; Fluff insists and tells Kirby to look closer, when Kirby notices that Dedede looks lifeless and there are puppet strings on the top of his body. Dedede grabs a hammer and aims at Kirby, who dodges, and that is when Kirby finally realizes that this is one of the enemies he doesn't want to battle. Fluff points up at a marionette controller with four buttons pulling the strings, and says that if they beat it, Dedede will be freed, so Kirby realizes he has no choice but to do that to save his friend. Dedede goes attack Kirby with his hammer again, but he dodges. As his hammer hits the ground, a star appears, which Kirby grabs with his yarn whip, makes a yarn ball from it, and throws it at Dedede. Hit, Dedede falls down, and Kirby jumps on him and aims his yarn whip at one of the buttons of the marionette controller; he grabs one and pulls it, making one of the strings break. Realizing the success of this strategy, Kirby repeats it three more times as Dedede keeps attacking him in various ways, until all four puppet strings break. Without the strings, the marionette controller falls and breaks, revealing another piece of the Magic Yarn. It flies up and connects two more continents together.

With that done, Fluff says that they should head to the next continent, but Kirby tells him to wait. Kirby goes after Dedede and calls him, and the unconscious king eventually wakes up. He recognizes Kirby but is confused about his appearance, until he remembers what had happened in his castle earlier. However, he has too many questions and is just straight up confused and tired. Realizing that, Fluff approaches him and invites him to go to his castle to rest, which makes Dedede wonder if it will have food, and Fluff proudly says that yes, and that the chefs of his castle make the best food. Kirby agree with that, although he ends up nostalgic for Kawasaki's food once again. Regardless, happy for having food, Dedede accepts the invite, but Kirby wonders how Dedede will reach the castle, as they are very far away from it. Before he can finish, a hole appears, and the three devils from earlier peek from the hole, saying that they heard their talk and want to offer their help. They offer to take Dedede to the castle, but Kirby repeats that it's really far, but the devils say that going through the world of the lining will be faster. Kirby accepts and the devils promptly go grab Dedede, who wonders what is going on. The three drag Dedede to the hole, and it disappears. With that settled, Fluff mentions that their next destination is Space Land, but Kirby doesn't answer: he is too busy pondering about something. Fluff inquires him, and Kirby mentions that if there are two enemies he doesn't want to battle, and King Dedede was the first... he knows who the other one is. But he says he knows he has to battle them anyway, and he just continues moving forward, with Fluff following him.

Trivia

  • The name of chapter 1, 毛糸けいとのカービィ!? (Yarn Kirby?!), is the exact same name as the Japanese name of Kirby's Epic Yarn apart from the added punctuation.
  • The Tankbot illustration from chapter 3 shows both Kirby and Fluff piloting it, which contradicts the text that says Kirby transformed into the tank and Fluff went to pilot it, which is also how the Tankbot works in multiplayer in the games.
