Shattered Heart

Shattered Heart (Verse Code JH02-KVT) is an alternate timeline created by Gamola on the 8th of August 2020. It was her first time properly starting a Kirby AU and at the time was just her taking a version of Kirby from a Fanfiction series she'd read (Make A Friend) and placing him in the Timeline Hub. Eventually, however, it evolved into its own AU with the only remnants of its Fanfiction origins being Kirby's birth happening from the Jamba Heart a millennium ago. This version of Kirby, known as Essence!Kirby, was the second alternate Kirby to enter the Timeline Hub (with the first being TU!Kirby, aka Tech).

The Beginning
A thousand years before Kirby would first land on Planet Popstar, in the year of 992 AGC, an elderly pink puffball known as Elder Popopo arrived at the Jamba Heart. Popopo was the elder of the Ancient Village, a village founded long ago in the wake of the Ancients' collapse. Ever since then the Jamba Heart had been kept there. And now, as Elder Popopo stepped to the Jamba Heart with the entire village watching, a pink glow from his hands encircled the Jamba Heart before in a flash of magic, it was all over, and a small pink puffball was laying in front of the Jamba Heart. The Jamba Heart itself had changed in colour; formerly a vibrant pink, it was now a menacing purple. But the villagers took no notice of this, instead rushing to the newly born puffball.

This puffball was named 'Kirby'.

The years passed and soon, two decades after his birth, Kirby had grown. He'd learned of a strange set of skills only he possessed, known as 'Copy Abilities'. The ability to imitate certain aspects of a magical imprint, such as Fire or Plasma. Although destroyed his home many times when testing these, everyone in the village saw the sheer amount of fighting potential these had, should Kirby be able to master them.

However, these Copy Abilities were still far too young to be used in battle. For this reason, Kirby could not use them during the destruction of his home. During the day a planet-sized fortress descended upon them. This fortress, lead by a strange hooded figure, wrought havoc upon the village. And Kirby, who had been given Elder Popopo's starship, was instructed to flee. And so he did, the village blazing behind him as he shot to the stars.

From that day on, Kirby would travel throughout the cosmos, learning more about his abilities as he went. He recorded his research in what he dubbed as Copy Ability Journals although these, after some centuries, became lost, luckily only after he'd finished researching his abilities.

But on Kirby's 1000th birthday, something happened which changed his life. He came across a peaceful planet known as Planet Popstar.
