It had been a normal day for me, Meta Knight, as I stood in the Captain's Room of my beloved Halberd, staring outside as the ship flew, watching as the ground below my ship, and clouds drifted by, as if I hadn't existed. It was very boring, actually, the only things that interest me since my return from the Smash Mansion were flying apon the Halberd, and avoiding anything to be a burden, such as Kirby.
I managed a glance outside as I noticed my ship landing, WITHOUT my command. We must have run out of supplies again. No matter, someone would be up to apologize for the inconvinience, and we'd set sail again. After Idly watching the sun pass by for what felt like hours, I realize, that's what HAS passed, two hours to be exact, being a captain I had to know the sun's location so I knew what time it was, and how long before the crew got hungry again.
I was furious. We hadn't set sail again for another hour or so, and they KNOW I do not sitting still where Kirby can find me. As angrilly as I could, I stepped outside the highly decorated door, with a picture of my trademark mask, so even the newest of the crew knew where to stay away, and dashed outside where I found many Waddle-Dees, and the occasional Knuckle Joe, standing in a large group. I revealed by large, demonic wings from their hiding place in my cape, as to make me look taller, and stormed towards the group.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" I bellowed, scaring most of the group closest to me, "I HAVE NOT ISSUED A COMMAND TO LAND! GET YOUR LAZY CARCASSES BACK ON DUTY, OR YOU'LL REGRET IT!"
It took the nearest one to me nearly a minute before he spoke, "S-Sir Meta Knight, we landed merely to get more supplies..B-But, we found something..a little..more, if you will."
I retracted my wings quickly, "Let me see this," I plowed through him, and the group to the center of attention, to find a small boy, a human, I reconized them because there were a good few when I was at the Smash tournament. He was sitting, but if he were standing, he'd be nearly twice my hieght, he was very young from the look of it, the way he was crying, and getting sympathy from MY crew. I stepped toward him, his blonde hair moving as he answered questions one of the Waddle-Dees were asking with simple nods, as they noticed me, the Waddle-Dee backed away into the group. Apon inspection, the boy wore a red shirt that barely covered his thin arms, and denim shorts, that barely grazed his ankles. His shoes were beat and worn down, as well. I approached the boy, and as nicely as I could, stated, "Who are you?" Even to me, it sounded very cold, and unwelcoming.
"M-My Parents called my Sora." He answered, his tearstained face hid Blue eyes, "A-as in Sky." He confirmed, I gave a small nod, "Yes, Sky isn't a very boy-ish name." I stated, earning a small smile from him, dispite the tears, he was kind of..as most would say, cute, however, I would never admit it. "Why are you here?" I asked again, the boy stood, wiping his face, "M-My parents were killed, so I ran, knowing that whoever did it would come after me next." The boy looked about six or seven years of age, but he spoke like an adult, "A-and one of these little guys found me..They thought maybe the Captain would give me his sympathy and let me stay aboard." I watched as the Waddle-Dees, Knuckle Joes, and whatever were nearby quivered in fear, awaiting my wrath. I simply stared the boy in the eye, his gaze returning mine, "You may call me Meta Knight, welcome aboard," and with that, I left, feeling the gazes of confusion staring me down, all was silent untill I heard Sora speak, "I...Am guessing he is the Captain?" I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.

Chapter 1 - Finish

Author's Notes: So..What do ya think? It's my first Kirby Fic and got inspired to write this. Some good reviews would be nice, maybe even a click of the favorites button. Chapter 2 will be up soon.
Disclaimer: Kirby, Meta Knight, and all related Characters belong to HAL, while Super Smash Bros. Brawl belongs to HAL, and Nintendo. Yes, I know Sora is the name of the Kingdom Hearts Protagonist (Which belongs to Square Enix), but I thought it would be a good name for the little guy, because the Halberd is a flying ship, right?
