Hey Guys! I'm supposed to be writing CastleBrawlca and All of a sudden I write this? T_T (That's my bland face, the horizontal line is the eyebrow. THIS is my sad face T-T) Oh well, so anyways, this is my very first short story!
A short story is a story that isn't a novel, but isn't a one-shot either. My first go with a couple I really love, Meta knightXSamus! This chapter's a little short, but don't be fazed, the next one is a lot better! I'm thinking it's a two-shot. I hope you like it!
In Super smash bros. newest game, many new and old faces turned up. Some were very friendly, some. . .let's just say were a little on the anti-social side. But all in all, as a group they were very good at heart. Most of them anyways. When the tournament fighters for the season came together, they had all planned for the same things happening. The villains being tricksters, the heroes being righteous and good hearted, same story every tournament. But of course, as long as there is new smashers, there will always be changes. Some thought they would have they're old turf back, that they would be the top dog once again. But one aspect was about to change all of that. One particular fighter that didn't quite agree with any of this.
He was very strange, he wasn't a friend, but he wasn't too horrible to be an enemy. He was very scary that was obvious enough, and he soon had frightened almost all of the smashers into fearing him. He wasn't very big or strong, but he was amazingly smart. He would use his brain to give an impression that he had brawn. That fighter was very tough as well. He only fought with a sword and nothing else besides his brain. His name was Meta knight. Meta knight was very cold hearted and could push almost anyone around. He was scary because he put so much effort into it. In fact, in due time almost no one would go near him, and when they had to, they would cower and do anything for mercy. They went crazy if they had to fight him. Even the villains who once were the ones that did this, they learned how it felt and didn't like it a bit. But it wasn't as if they'd get a second chance while Meta knight was around. He didn't put down very often but he bullied with his plain fright. All of the Brawlers were tough, but would never dare to fight him.
All but one. She was a very kind hearted person that was very smart too. She did speak her mind a lot, which could get her in trouble at times, but she had a very enjoyable personality. She fought with weapons and fire-power, and had agility on her side as well. She was very sweet when she wasn't brawling, and was a good sport whenever she fought. If she won, she would shake hands with the other fighter. If she lost, she would congratulate them. Maybe it was because he didn't target her until later on, but she never had any opinion of Meta knight at all.
But she eventually did get targeted.
It all started one day after she had lost a fight against Mario. She was hanging out with her friends in the lounge, and everyone who was near the door backed up and moved against the walls. That was an obvious sign that "You know who" was entering the room. She didn't really mean any harm to him, or to make him mad or anything at all. But as he walked by, she decided to say hello to him.
"Hi MK, how's it going?" she asked, he stopped in his placed and turned to give her a glare. She didn't notice and went back to chatting with her friends. then a horrified and very freaked out look appeared on their faces.
"What? What's wrong?" she asked a little clueless to their fear. When she looked up from speaking she saw what they were worried about. Meta knight was right up close to her face, he was so close that her skin lightly touched his mask, which was very cold. He glowered at her, which made her a little confused.
"Is something wrong Meta knight?" She asked. He stared at her for a few seconds before answering.
"I'm sorry. I don't know if my ears are failing me, but did you just call me 'MK'?" He snarled. She blinked a little surprised at his remark.
"I-I'm sorry, does calling you that offend you?" She asked, his huge glaring eyes a little too interested in her answer for comfort.
"Look, you are either stupid, brave, or don't know who you're dealing with. So which is it veteran?" Meta knight's voice was very dark and cold.
"N-none, I don't think. . .I was just being a little friendly." She backed up away from his face a bit.
"Then that clears it up that you don't know who you're talking to. I'll help you out on this one: You see them?" Meta knight pointed to the fighters that lined the wall. They all tensed and gave each other worried looks.
"They are very scared of me. They're wise to be, they know what I could do to them. But you don't seem frightened of me. So tell me, why not?" Meta knight leaned in closer back in her face once more.
"I don't see why I should be scared of you, you can't hurt me." She said. That wasn't what Meta knight wanted to hear.
"Oh really? You obviously don't understand who's in your face. Anyone would know who you are. You're Samus Aran, space warrior extraordinaire and hero of the Chozo people. Well, if you don't quite understand who I am, I'm Sir Meta knight. But The Master Hand insists that the other fighters call me by Meta knight. 'MK' is not one of the names I will go by. And NEVER shall you or anyone else call me Metty. Got it?" He put his sword to her armoured throat lightly. She nodded and put her hand lightly on it to push it away. He raised an eyebrow at her and lowered it.
"I won't call you by that, but you have no right to threaten me or anyone. We're all entitled to our right to feel safe and if you try to take that away, you can get in trouble." She said firmly. Meta knight's very creepy glower came back to his face.
"You're trying my patience, I'll see you again. Oh and Samus Aran? I always get my revenge. If you stand in my path, I will get rid of you. . .goodbye." He got out of her face and walked off. Samus' friends whispered to each other very frantically.
"Samus, couldn't you not speak your mind? Just for once? Now he's gonna do something horrible to you!" Peach said sounding very frightened.
"Pif, he can't hurt us! What does he think he is, the boss?" Samus said a little boastfully.
"No, he knows he's the boss. If you die, I'll remember to bring some Indian paintbrushes to your grave and I'll insult him in secret for you." Zelda sighed sadly.
"Oh Come on you guys! What's he gonna do? look at me weird?" Samus scoffed. Needless to say, Samus' friends were a little too worried to laugh at her joke.
That night, Samus lay in her bed and sighed to herself.
"Those guys just don't get it, they should know better to remember that if were not in a fight, you can't attack someone physically. He isn't going to touchme in any way, shape, or form." Samus hummed to herself and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Samus did her usual schedule. She got up, fed her pet Pikachu, took a shower, and went down to the announcement room. She went to the locker room where the fighters kept their equipment like weapons or other important items they needed. Samus was talking to Sheik at the moment and Meta knight just so happened to walk by. He decided to say something fresh to her.
"Someone's looking puffy today!" He called over to Samus as he opened his locker. Samus shot up and gasped at what he said. She was deeply insulted and decided to fight back.
"Did I hear a tear? Did your belt just rip? I think Meta knight is gaining weight!" She said loudly without looking at him.
"Har har, I'm laughing so hard that you can't even hear me." he walked around the corner after talking out his sword from his locker. Unknown to Samus, he inspected his belt a little worried that what she said wasn't true. Luckily for him it wasn't. He walked back in and a few Brawlers went flat against their lockers. He blinked at Samus who had turned around and finally said something after a few minutes.
"Oh! So it is you Samus! At first I thought that you had a dead bird stuck in your helmet! But now I can see it was just you!" Samus fumed quietly until she thought of something to say.
"When you were born, your mom said 'Treasure!' And your dad said 'Yeah! Let's bury it!'" Meta knight's eyes widened at her and they tured bright red.
"Well when you were born, your mother said 'She's gorgeous!' And your dad said, 'Yes! she's the most beautiful piglet I've ever seen!'" Meta knight folded his arms.
"Shame shame, knucklehead. I NEVER KNEW MY PARENTS." Samus stuck her tongue out in her helmet. (Not like he would see though)
"Oh yeah, so THAT'S why the Chozo took you in, you look like them so they thought you were beautiful!" Meta knight snorted.
"Well I'll bet you wore a mask since you were little because your parents couldn't stand to look at you!" Samus argued back.
"Prep!"
"Villain!"
"Bratty human!"
"Metal head!" They shouted at each other, they completely ignored everyone around them and just focused on yelling at one another. Both had grown a big red star-burst on the side of their heads. Meta knight looked as if he couldn't take it any more and just turned around and stormed off.
"Samus! Why must you be so, so. . .CONFIDENT?!" Sheik asked with a spooked tone in her voice.
"Come on! Isn't anyone going to stand up to him?! If you let him push you around, you defeat the point of why we're here!" Samus yelled to all of the fighters. They stared in awe that she would stand up to Meta knight.
"We were destined to fight! We're here so we can do what we do best! And you guys are going to stand around and let some stupid little knight push you around?!" They looked at each other and then back to Samus. Then they sighed backing away from the lockers.
"Samus," Pit started. "We know this, but you don't know who your up against. He's not about to let anyone tell him what to do. You're getting way too sure of yourself." The others nodded and sighed.
"Oh, s-so, you're going to give up your entitled right to feel safe and happy so he can push you around?" Samus said, she could barely believe what came out of his mouth.
"Well if it's to help us live yes!" Ike said. Samus' jaw dropped.
"What is up with you? You call yourself fighters? You can't even fight for what you believe and live by?" Samus asked. Silence from the fighters. Samus stormed off to her room. On her way there, Meta knight snorted to her. Samus ran into her room and threw her face into the pillow.
"GAH! What is wrong with the world?!" She screamed into it. Pikachu hopped up onto the bed and nuzzled into her side.
"Oh, Pikachu. I can't believe anyone. They're all cowards. And to what? A little blue. . .thing. Well, whatever he is, he has no right to treat anyone the way he does." Pikachu nodded and sighed. She only brought him out of her room to brawl.
"Even my boyfriend is scared of him! Sheesh!" Samus sighed, Samus was dating Captain Falcon and he was just as submissive to Meta knight as everyone else was.
"Has the world gone mad?! Won't Master hand do something?!. . . .WAIT A MINUTE! Oh he's in for it!" Samus hopped off the bed and ran down the stairs. She ran into Master Hand's office.
"What?! B-but can't you do something?" Samus asked stunned.
"I'm sorry Samus, but he hasn't broken any of the rules. He can't be punished for something he didn't do." Master hand sighed.
"B-but he threatens the other fighters! He put his sword to my throat! Can't you do something?" Samus pleaded, she just wanted the safety of her fellow fighters.
"Sorry Samus you know there's nothing I can do. You're a veteran so you know the basic rule right?" Master hand asked. Samus sighed and nodded.
"Unless there is physical violence between two fighters that are not in a registered fight, no fighters can be punished for fighting. But he threatened us! You have got to do something!" Samus begged. Master hand sighed and said no.
"Samus, you know I want to help in any way I can, but until he breaks the rules he's innocent. I just see that the rules are followed through, I don't make them."
"Who does then?" Samus asked a little annoyed
"Sakurai, who did you think made them?" Master hand answered. Samus groaned and walked out of his office.
As she walked down the hall with slumping shoulders, the last person she wanted to see stood in her path.
"Hi Sammy, sounded like fun in there." He said with a freaky tone in his voice. Samus had had enough of him.
"Shut up, and don't you call me Sammy got it?" She murmured. He glowered at her and pointed his sword at her.
"Are you talking back to me?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Samus really was getting tired of him.
"As a matter of fact, yes I am." She snarled.
"I'd tear you to pieces on the spot right now. But lucky for you, I don't want to dirty my armour right now. . .you are playing with my temper and if you want to live, I suggest you quit your brave act now and step aside." He growled.
"I was walking here first, you move." Samus argued.
"Wrong, now get your human backside out of the way or I'll take the honor of kicking it out of the way." Meta knight fought back.
"I'm sorry but I think your mixed up with who's gonna get kicked." Samus pointed her Cannon at him. He got into a fighting stance.
"Let's end this" Samus snarled.
"Ladies first." Meta knight growled back. Soon they were both having a battle against each other.
In the other room, the smashers heard yelling, crashing noises, exploding sounds, and sword slashes. They were a little confused at what was going on. They could hear the yelling loud and clear though.
"You can't just push people around like that! Who do you think you are?!"
"I can push people around too! I think I'm me for your information!"
"You're no great warrior, you're a bully and a villain!"
"Oh yeah? You're a ditz, and no one cares about you, that's why you were orphaned!"
"WHAT?!"
Suddenly a very loud "BANG!" Was heard and Meta knight was thrown though the wall and in the room where all the fighters were gathered in. He finally halted when he crashed into the next wall (Which was made of stone may I add) and slid to the ground. Samus pointed her cannon through the hole in the wall, and yelled at him.
"If you ever say that again I'll blast you to bits! You hear me?!" She breathed anger snorting out of her helmet.
Just her luck, Master hand happened to hear their little fight. He flew in and inspected Meta knight, who was playing possum and seemed serverley injured.
"Who did this?" He asked trying to hold his temper. Everyone pointed at Samus. Meta knight remained motionless.
"Come with me Samus, we need to go over rules." Master hand said trying not to yell.
"S-sir?" Meta knight said softly.
"Sh-should I come too?" He got up and leaned on his sword for even more effect.
"No Meta knight, are you okay?" Master hand asked.
"Yes, I should be fine." Meta knight trembled as he stood up. What a drama king. . .er. . .knight.
"Go back to your room and rest, I'll have a talk with Samus." Master hand said.
"Master hand! I didn't do anything!" Samus pleaded.
"Samus, I just went over the rules with you! Do you forget what I say as soon as you leave my office?!" Master hand asked a little loudly.
"He was the one who started it! You know you can trust me! I'm telling the truth! You have to believe me!" Samus said very upset.
"I'm sorry Samus, I really am. But It won't matter who started the first or who finished it, what matters is that one of you got hurt and that the rules were broken."
"You are going to punish him too right?" Master hand. . .didn't answer right away. . .or at all. Samus' jaw dropped.
"You're kidding right? You are going to punish him right?" No response from Master hand.
"Samus, I'm going to tell you this a-"
"I can't believe you! THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!!! THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!!!" Samus shouted and stormed off.
She went to her room again. And burried her face in the pillow.
"What-the-heck-is-wrong-with-life?!" she breathed and banged her head in the pillow a few times.
"It's all that STUPID META KNIGHT'S FAULT!" she yelled into it. Pikachu curled up near her head and licked her on the face.
"You're right buddy, I'm gonna stand up to him. And it'll be the last time anyone has to!" She said very confident.
Tomorrow, she'd have a word with him.
To be continued. . .
I know it's short, but hey, The next is pretty good ;)
