Kirby Hero introduces himself to Kevin Matchstick and Joe Phat by way of attacking the nest of harpies they were staking out.  Kevin and Joe join in, and the harpies are routed.  Kirby is another avatar, the Olympian.  Their slave turns out to be the seemingly-insane Wally Ut, who claims to be Kevin's second mage (replacing Mirth).  Kevin can't believe such a ridiculous figure could be his second mage.  Kevin, Kirby, and Joe, on the other hand, all get along really well, and Kirby temporarily joins the other two on their quest.  They drive off without Wally.  Meanwhile, the Pale Incanter sends his sons the Sprigginflints to find the heroes.
