Meta Knight's True Power: Book 1: A Voice Inside: A Strange Butterfly {Prologue}
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Bros, or anything related to it.
It was 51 weeks since the defeat of Tabuu, and all was not well in Subspace. The entity known as Tabuu was slowly dying in its realm. Although its body was no more, his mind was still there, slowly being consumed by Light. It was painful for him. He craved the dark.
He knew he had but a week left, but he wanted not mercy; just life. He knew he could beat the infection himself, the infection of light, yet knew not how. As his mind, invisible yet whole like Wind, moved effortlessly through his dying realm, he saw them; the Black Butterflies. What they were, he did not know, but he recognised their shape; similar to his yet smaller. They were dark, and black.
He 'flew' toward the Butterflies, yearning for their darkness. As he approached the butterflies, they fluttered away at immense speed; Tabuu's mind too weak to pursue. Just when he thought all hope was lost, he saw that a single Butterfly had stayed. Fearing pity, Tabuu tried to move away, but noticed that he could not move.
Slowly but surely, he felt his mind flooded with darkness; he didn't want pity, yet couldn't refuse. He felt his mind imprisoned by this strange butterfly, which was slowly fading away. The butterfly was slowly moving into his find, and he began to see memories that weren't his. Spikes of intense pain made him scream in anger, and then silence. Utter Silence. Tabuu was gone… but alive.
Milliseconds later, Tabuu reappeared on a dark desert planet, with raging winds hitting him. With no memory of the events just passed; Tabuu flew silently through the wind and sand, hoping to find his way out of this strange place. And the Smashers. He still wanted vengeance, and even though he knew not where his enemies were; he would hunt them down. A voice inside him told him to suck in their darkness, but he ignored this voice. Smashers, with darkness, that could not be true. His enemies could not contain what he was made off; he would not believe that…
Meta Knight was testing his new flyer, and was thus orbiting a desert planet. Meta Knight was a little confused about the planet, as he had found no name on record for it. However, there was an asteroid field nearby, and rocks normally fell into its orbit. Meta Knight had decided to purchase parts and assemble this flyer by hand, as his previous vessel was shot down by Ganandorfs (or Bowser's) on the fight against Tabuu. It might have actually been Tabuu's; he couldn't remember. He sighed. He loved the Halbred.
Knowing there was no government to annoy down below and hoping there were no Galactic authorities that had power over the planet that would arrest him or something similar, he decided to fly down and explore the planet. With any luck, he would be able to improve his flying skill and reflexes too, although he doubted. Suddenly, a beam of black light smashed into his port wing, and flipped his flyer several times. Annoyed, he looked to see the hostile that had fired on his Flyer. He saw something glint in the distance, but then another beam of black light hammered into his cockpit window, cracking it almost to destruction.
Annoyed at 'below the belt' attack, Meta Knight fired but his weapon array's, and heard a scream of pain. Before he could react to the noise, 8 beams of Dark light smashed his fuel supply and shot him out the sky. As he hit the Sand below, he smashed his way out the cockpit. And then the ship erupted in a fiery inferno...
