In the Kirby of the Stars novel series
Active Blade appears as a character exclusive to the Kirby of the Stars: The Great Bandit Daroach Gang Appears! novel. In the book, Active Blade resides in a temple where he is protecting his eggs. However, Kirby and Waddle Dee happen to stumble into the temple. Active Blade then begins to attack them, thinking that they are members of the Squeaks. All of this ruckus eventually causes Active Blade’s eggs to fall, but before they could hit the ground and break, Kirby catches them. Active Blade then realizes that they aren’t actually part of the Squeaks after Kirby saved his eggs and stops attacking them. He then explains that he was injured in a raid by the Squeaks, and is trying to get back to his home where there were hot springs that could help with the injuries. However, he couldn’t leave behind his eggs unprotected, so he entrusts them in the hands of Kirby and Waddle Dee as he takes off to his home. He eventually later returns sometime after King Dedede also decided to help, and as he arrives, he not only finds the Squeaks, but an egg hatching into his newborn child as well.

It should be noted that Active Blade and his chick appear almost identically to Dyna Blade and a Dyna Chick. Active Blade even has a similar name to Dyna Blade. However, they are not related to them and are of a different species. King Dedede only heard about the features of Active Blade, and thought that he was Dyna Blade, which is why he decided to help protect the eggs for Dyna Blade’s high-class crest.

Active Blade’s feathers are the finest cushions, perfect for pillows and protecting eggs. In fact, they”re so sought after, that they were overhunted to the point where it is said that there are very few of them left. Active Blade had first thought that the Squeaks were after his eggs, when in actuality, they were after the feather cushion that was protecting them, to which Active Blade’s chick gives to them after it hatches.
