Chapter 1: Encounter with Meta Knight (Prologue)
Kirby is riding in his starship when he gets a warning symbol on his console. He punches a button and blasts into hyperspace. Suddenly he stops out of hyperspace right next to a planet. All of a sudden the halberd appears out of nowhere.
"It's him! Sword Knight! Fire the laser beam! Blade Knight! Take control of the cannon! He won't get away this time!" says Meta Knight. "I'll take command of everything else."
Using his starship, Kirby manages to dodge most of the attacks, but some hit, leaving his ship badly damaged. He ejects the ship and takes out the warp star, but before he could even do anything, the laser beam hits the star sending it to the planet below. Thinking quickly, Kirby then takes out 3 pieces that automatically assemble themselves into a dragoon.
"Oh no! It's the dragoon! Fire everything we got!"
Kirby dodges all the attacks and strikes through the main fuel tank. The Halberd is severely damaged and close to exploding.
"WARNING! RUNNING ON RESERVE FUEL TANK!" calls out the computer system in the halberd.
"Evacuate ship! I'll take care of Kirby." says Meta Knight.
He presses a bunch of buttons and enables auto-pilot. He then jumps into an escape pod himself to let the ship do the work.
The ship navigates to kirby's dragoon. Kirby strikes through the engine, then all of a sudden the ship stops, then explodes, sending Kirby off of the dragoon and hurdling to the planet below.
