Specifically, it serves as a FusionFic[=/=]ForWantOfANail retelling of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and the general plot of ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''.
Instead of Ship being found by Julie and Ben on their date that night, what if Kirby was the one who crashed into their date? As a result, Ben and his friends find themselves allying with Meta Knight and his students to stop not only the Highbreed, but the forces of Nightmare as well.
!!''Kir-Ben 10: Poyo Force'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: Quite a few examples.
** Ben still uses the [[TransformationTrinket Omnitrix]] like in canon, but here, he is also able to tap into his Anodite side as a flight or fight response.
** In canon, [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Flamberge and Zan Partizanne]] were solely capable of manipulating [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], respectively. Here, however, they are capable of manipulating other elements: Flamberge can control [[DishingOutDirt earth]] while Zan Partizanne has power over [[BlowYouAway wind]].
** Sword and Blade Knight were skilled fighters in their own right and trained by Meta Knight, but here, they can empower their swords with elements like in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' to form them into [[ElementalWeapon elemental swords]].
** Of course, they don't really compare to Julie, who takes a massive level in badass here. In canon, she was an ordinary human, but owned Ship, allowing her to form PoweredArmor in combat. Here, however, she is revealed to have a connection to the Jambastion religion as their high priestess, and thus has the ability to [[ElementalPowers manipulate all elements]] [[AllYourPowersCombined used by the Three Mage Sisters]]: [[MakingASplash water]], [[AnIcePerson ice]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]], [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], and [[BlowYouAway wind]].
* AdaptationalOriginConnection: Several between elements of the two series.
** Azmuth, when making Ascalon, based the design partially on Galaxia, as revealed by Nightmare.
** Julie is revealed to be connected to the Jambastion religion somehow, being their high priestess.
** Nightmare was also responsible for the Gourmands (Upchuck's race) needing to evacuate from Peptos III in an invasion attempt, sending them food laced with Pufferzine. Pufferzine was, indeed, meant for species with HyperactiveMetabolism like the aforementioned Gourmands and the Oryctini (Eatle's species).
** Magolor and [[spoiler: Marx]] held no association to each other, let alone to Nightmare, but here, they're rival servants of Nightmare.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** In canon, Francisca and Flamberge have a relationship that borders on the two being AmbiguouslyGay, being very fond of one another and Flamberge being furious in her first meeting with Kirby and company because [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend they hurt Francisca]]. Here, however, they are much less friendly to one another, engaging in trash talk and infighting, much to [[StraightMan Zan]] [[OnlySaneMan Partizanne's]] frustration.
** Verdona takes far more interest in Ben due to him being revealed to have a Spark of his own (his was simply weaker compared to Gwen's, being described as an ember rather than a spark), and while Ben does take interest, he also ends up becoming more hostile due to Kevin pointing out that she hadn't spent much time with them, resulting in him erupting at her when unlocking his Anodite powers and laying out that she had neglected her family when they needed her, namely against [[Recap/Ben10S1E9LastLaugh Zombozo]], [[Recap/Ben10S1E8TheAlliance Rojo]], and [[Recap/Ben10S3E5Benwolf the Yenaldooshi]]. Suffice to say, Verdona is regretful at how she neglected her family, apologizing to him and Gwen, but the two do make up.
* AscendedExtra: Julie goes from SatelliteLoveInterest to a full-fledged member of Ben's team.
* BadassAdorable: Just as always, Kirby. His presence induces CutenessProximity as seen by Julie in the beginning, but he will kick monsters much bigger than him to the curb if he must do so to protect his family.
* BigDamnHeroes: How Meta Knight introduces himself to Ben and company, as he slices the head of Mega Titan before he gets the chance to attack them.
* CallToAgriculture: Meta Knight admits to [[spoiler: Verdona]] that occasionally, he wonders if he could have simply settled into the life of a humble farmer.
* CannibalismSuperpower: As always, Kirby gains his transformations by swallowing objects and enemies. Thus far, Kirby's transformations include:
** [[PlayingWithFire Fire]]
** [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]
** [[AnIcePerson Ice]]
** [[EyeBeams Laser]]
** [[BattleBoomerang Cutter]]
** [[PsychicPowers ESP]]
** [[ChefOfIron Cook]]
* CanonImmigrant: Numerous characters from other Kirby games make their appearance here.
** [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamland Magolor]] is shown to be Nightmare's first associate seen in the fanfic, directly being responsible for Kirby crash landing on Earth.
** [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Hyness and the Three Mage Sisters]] also come into focus, with them planning to bring about Void Termina with Julie's help.
* {{Cumulonemesis}}: As always, Kracko, who becomes the first monster that the Highbreed witness.
* DoingInTheWizard: Pufferzine's effects gain a more scientific explanation: it affects the victim's satiety and renders them unable to feel full by targeting the hypothalamus and adrenal glands, reduces the rate of fat burning, and releases large amounts of dopamine into the body to make their victims utterly addicted to Pufferzine-laced food.
* DotingGrandparent: Verdona becomes a great-grandparent variant of this trope to Kirby, happily playing with Kirby by forming slides of mana and promising to bring him candy from other worlds when she returns.
* DueToTheDead: Done by Meta Knight and his students in response to [[spoiler: Grandpa Max's death]].
* EvilChef: Monsieur Goan and Fryclops both appear in this fanfic, working to fatten up Kirby with Pufferzine-laced food, and both soon directly attack Kirby alongside Red Viper.
* ForWantOfANail: The story's main plot is essentially what would happen if during ''Pier Pressure'', it was Kirby instead of Ship that Ben and Julie encountered on their first date.
* HappilyAdopted: Kirby is this. Ben and Julie adore him, and he loves them as well.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Ben and Julie (both humans) take Kirby (Star Warrior) in as their son.
* IgnoredEpiphany: After being contacted by Nightmare, the Highbreed commander ponders over the struggles they have had conquering Earth. He recognizes that their difficulty invading Earth is not a good sign, as they also have to deal with planets that are far less hospitable like Khoros (a desert planet), Vulpin (a toxic waste dump), Pyros (a literal star), and Kinet (a world plagued with constant lightning storms). He also laments that humans are weaker, and they will have contend with the stronger inhabitants of the worlds they plan to invade ([[PlayingWithFire Pyronites]], [[MultiArmedAndDangerous Tetramands]], [[ShorterMeansSmarter Galvans]], and [[MechanicalLifeforms Galvanic Mechamorphs]]). However, this insight is soon undercut by his FantasticRacism, planning on continuing their SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum due to his belief that the Highbreed are superior.
* IWantGrandkids: Well, more like great-grandkids, but Verdona does commend Ben taking in Kirby as a son, making her a great-grandmother.
* MythologyGag: Julie's dislike of smoothies was mentioned in [[Recap/Ben10OmniverseS2E8RulesOfEngagement Rules of Engagement]], but rather than cause strife, Ben instead decides to take her and Kirby to Mr. Smoothie's rival, Ms. Milkshake.
* ShoutOut:
** Several to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
*** Meta Knight has been shown to pull quite a few tricks from his ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' counterpart, such as the [[TornadoMove Mach Tornado]], [[TeleportCloak Dimensional Cape]], and even using his [[LimitBreak Final Smash]] from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', even starting with a similar quote.
----> Verdona, know my power!
*** ESP Kirby's transformation sequence has him perform one of [[VideoGame/Earthbound1994 Ness's]] taunts.
*** Cook Kirby uses several moves from his Smash counterpart, namely all his smash attacks and his forward and down aerials.
** Ben's mana powers are based on the [[DeadlyDisc Metal Blades]] of [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Metal Man]] and the [[WolverineClaws claws]] of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}.
** Each member of the Three Mage Sisters make reference to other characters that manipulate their respective elements in additions to their hairstyle and author imagined VA's.
*** Francisca has the hair loops of [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Katara]] and her VA is Creator/MaeWhitman.
*** Flamberge has the pigtails of [[VideoGame/Persona5 Ann Takamaki]] and her VA is Creator/ErikaHarlacher.
*** Zan Partizanne has the antenna of [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Larxene]] and her VA is Shanelle Workman.
** Hyness is notably more calm and collected, being more akin to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Brother Blood]], and the author imagines his VA to be Creator/JohnDiMaggio.
** Cook Kirby takes inspiration from the Chef class in ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' (setting his pan alight and ForceFeeding spicy dishes) and [[Characters/OnePieceSanji Sanji]] from ''Manga/OnePiece'' (His fighting style in this state puts a lot of emphasis on kicking).
** Red Viper's author imagined VA is Creator/IanJamesCorlett, fitting for his roles as [[WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears Snake Man]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}} Skales]].
** Ben mentions that the Highbreed [[Film/ANewHope will be back, and in greater numbers]].
* StarterVillain: This role is taken by [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror Mega Titan]], who is the first monster Nightmare sends to fight Kirby and Ben.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In canon, Red Viper never spoke a word, but here, he is capable of talking with an obvious SssssnakeTalk.
* SwordBeam: Just like in canon, Meta Knight is able to use these with Galaxia.
* TransformationSequence: Any time Kirby gains an ability, there is a transformation written a la the [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend:
** Julie has her Jambastion powers awaken in response to Ben being threatened by Verdona.
** Likewise, when Verdona learns what happened to Max when [[Recap/Ben10S1E8TheAlliance the gang was attacked by Rojo]], she is rather unhappy and angry.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Averted to an extent. After his appearance, Ben mentions that Ken was sent to live with [[Recap/Ben10S4E4BigFatAlienWedding Joel, Camille, and Lucy]] for his own safety, and mentions that they are also training him to make sure that he's not an easy target next time.
