A/N: Sequel to Angels of Prophecy. Here is as brief of a summary of that story as I could make.

Warning! If you still plan on reading Angels of Prophecy, turn back now!

Angels of Prophecy started with Fumu as she cut her hand on a rock on a normal day. Meta Knight started acting strange and before she knew it, Meta Knight was trying to kill her. Later after his head was cleared, he told her and the others that Knightmare was the only one who could possess him like that and that the emperor of darkness had returned after they had thought he had been defeated for good.

They leave Popstar and travel to Icronth and Tronjam where Meta Knight is briefly reunited with his crew before they betray him, selling him for a high price to Galacta Knight. Galacta Knight reveals Meta Knight as a demonbeast and soon takes off, taking his prisoner with him. The others are left, broken apart and each with their own anger against Meta Knight. Kamira rejoins the group but they soon find themselves lost in space. They land on the nearby planet which turned out to be Ceilon. There, they meet a strange lady of Kirby's species that takes them in during a wild dust storm. Clara turned out to be Kirby's mother and she asks where the father is. The group finds out that Meta Knight was Kirby's father.

During the trip, Bun, Knuckle Joe, Dedede, and Escargon stumble upon a large stone with engravings on it. Kamira reads it, telling of how the Ancients, a group that had formed long ago with wisdom of the gods had made a prophecy. She was only able to read a part of it which later is proved to be incorrect.

Ceilon was being currently used as the GSA's base. Sir Arthur agrees to join them on their quest and they all leave for Knightmare Enterprises. There, they learn that Meta Knight is the heir of Knightmare's monstrous galactic empire. He is often referred to by the demonbeasts as 'the Prince.' As his grandson, Kirby is asked by Knightmare to join him. The pink Star Warrior refuses and they are all thrown into the dungeons.

Meta Knight tells the others how he had been created to make bad dreams to keep Knightmare in power. He was the Black Angel of the prophecy and had power over fire and electricity as well as the power to distort reality into twisted illusions to help create nightmares. Galacta Knight was the white angel of the prophecy and had power over ice and wind as well as to take control over machines and electronics.

Guards come and take them to the main level where Knightmare reprograms Meta Knight and turns him back into his servant. A chase soon follows as the others run from being killed by Meta Knight. From a moment of brilliance, Dedede points out that Meta Knight could be revived by using the one memory he would not let Knightmare take away from him: the memory of Clara. They soon are able to get the Meta Knight they know back and Kirby defeats Knightmare. They escape out of Knightmare Enterprises and Meta Knight and Galacta Knight battle it out. Finally, everyone returns home.

Whew! That was a lot to summarize. It's hard to condense a twenty two chapter story into 6 paragraphs! Anyway, now we can take out minds out of the past and go on with this story.

The Cappies, demonbeasts, and the GSA soldiers are now all packed up in Dreamland where fights occur almost every day. Meta Knight is faced with the demonbeasts being segregated by the GSA as being dangerous creatures. Can he find a way to allow all three groups to live peacefully together?

Segregate, by the way, does not have to mean by religion or ethnic group. It can also mean separating by isolating a group from the rest. That is how it is used in this chapter.

--Chapter 1: On the Verge of War--

Meta Knight looked down upon the grassy hills of Dreamland. The early morning sun shone on his mask from where he sat on the battlements tops. Every villager, Dreamlander, GSA soldier, and demonbeast slept on. In the distance, he could hear the lone call of a bird.

Shifting his gaze, Meta Knight's gold eyes fell across a small thatched roof home on the outskirts of the village. Under that roof was a family of Cappies and perhaps a few GSA soldiers. On top of the same house was a sleeping serpent-like demonbeast, curled up like a coiled roof. Less than a week ago, the family would have paniced to see the monster.

Meta Knight's leathery bat wings shifted slightly. As their prince, Meta Knight held the high authority over his kind, the demonbeasts. They looked to him to defend their rights when fights would break out between the GSA troops and the demonbeasts. Their hatred for the other had not disappeared. Meta Knight was weary from shouting and running from one dispute to the next. Usually, they were over small matters but even that didn't stop some fights from getting violent. In one extreme case, Meta Knight had to kill the fighting demonbeast.

Over the last few days, Meta Knight noticed one thing. Whenever there was a dispute of any kind, the demonbeasts were the ones to take the blame.

"Meta Knight?"

He turned around as Clara stood at the other end of the battlements. She wore a light robe that flowed gently along with the bandages on her head. Her soft blue eyes looked tired.

"What a…are you doing…up so…early?"

Meta Knight pulled her up on the wall edge as she walked over to him. His wings lifted off of the ground and wrapped around her body to keep her warm. She looked at him and smiled.

"You...fixed y...your mask."

"Yes," Meta Knight answered as he felt her hand run along the edge of his metallic mask.

They watched as the sun slowly ascended higher into the morning sky. Unlike him and his kind, the Dreamlanders loved Clara. Her warm laugh filled the air around her with a pleasant sound that made one think of vanilla. Around her, even the most grumpy and unsociable villagers had come to like her. She was well liked by young and old. She did wonderful work as a healer. She became Yabui's assistant and healed wounds and illnesses that couldn't be helped with medicine. But it wasn't her healing powers that most had said help them get better, it was her voice.

Her wondrous voice rivaled the songs sung by birds. She sang when she worked and people would often stop to listen. Shyly, one engaged couple asked her if she would sing at their wedding which she happily agreed to.

Clara turned to her husband. Her eyes became worried.

"Is..something..t…troubling you."

Meta Knight blinked as he returned to the present.

"I was just thinking. It's nothing important."

"Y…you never…relax. Isn't there ever…any moment…when you a…aren't troubled by something?"

"Forgive me. My duty to protect and serve the demonbeasts as their leader has been stressful."

Clara carefully unstrapped his mask off his face until his innocent child-like face was uncovered. They closed their eyes as they brought their faces together and kissed.

The two lovers made their way down the streets of Cappy Town. The sun had risen further and more and more villagers, soldiers, and demonbeasts were out on the streets. Meta Knight would stumble every so often and Clara would help him regain balance. Cappies watched them in stony silence. Only Kawasaki greeted them cheerfully as they walked by his restraint. Even if they didn't' know it, Meta Knight could hear the thoughts of the villagers echo in his mind.

"It's him again…"

"My roof almost came down on me and my kids from the demonbeast sleeping on top of our house!"

"Who does Meta Knight think he is to let loose millions of demonbeasts into Dreamland?"

"Why in the world would someone as beautiful as Clara want to marry a demonbeast like him? Did he force her?"

The last one hurt the most. He had never forced her to marry him. He had knelt down before her and had proposed, just like any man would. His gloves curled into fists but he dismissed his anger and continued walking with Clara.

Just as they were about to reach the cross roads, Wolfwrath trotted over alongside him. Her fur coat gleamed in the sunlight. The jewel crowning her head sparkled with the radiance of an emerald.

She bowed down before addressing him.

"Prince, you are requested to come immediately. The other day, the mayor's sheep was eaten. The villagers and soldiers immediately assumed that we did it. Every one of us swore upon our souls that we would obey the rules and laws of Dreamland. I don't think it was a demonbeast who had taken his livestock. We tried solving the dispute ourselves before coming to get you but it only worsened."

Clara looked at Meta Knight as he climbed up on to the wolf's back.

"Let me come with you."

"No. I don't' want you to be troubled by politics."

Meta Knight and Wolfwrath soon disappeared around the corner before Clara could say anything more.

The sound of shouts and growls filled the air as they drew closer to the mayor's house. Finally, the GSA soldiers and demonbeasts came into view. There were several Cappies there watching the fight along with Fumu, Fun, Knuckle Joe, Sirica, and Tokori. They kept a safe distance away from the fight. As soon as he arrived, everyone's heads turned to face him.

Meta Knight dismounted and limped hurriedly over. The winds of war hung in the air, just waiting for one side to strike first. The Cappies trusted the GSA far more than his kind. They glared at him as he stood in the center.

"Stop with this meaningless fighting! Can we not work this out peacefully?"

Several shouts filled the air.

"Peacefully? Your demonbeasts will eat us next after they're finished with the sheep!"

Demonbeasts growled back as they protested their innocence from killing the livestock. Meta Knight bit down on his lip. One wrong word and there would be killing. He turned to a broad shouldered soldier of the GSA.

"Is it not the duty of the GSA to protect the universe's residents, not segregate them?"

"This isn't about segregation," The man answered smoothly. "This is about protecting the lives of the people of Dreamland."

"The demonbeasts have done nothing wrong. You just assume that when something bad happens, it's our fault!" Meta Knight said, restraining himself from shouting. "If we weren't burdened by being Knightmare's servants, we could live peacefully with the rest of the universe! If the ranchers here can't protect their own livestock, then that isn't my fault or any of the demonbeasts' faults!"

"Listen! We're just doing our job!" The soldier said angrily. "Just stick to your own business!"

"How dare you speak in that way to our prince!" Wolfwrath growled.

She leapt into the air, claws stretched out. The solider drew his gun as he side stepped. Wolfwrath landed a few feet away from him, fur bristling in anger.

Meta Knight's eyes flashed orange as he realized the soldier was going to shoot. He ran in-between the two. He held his arms to stop them both when the soldier pulled the trigger. Meta Knight felt something metal and sharp strike his arm. He looked down to see a bullet embedded in his arm, blood flowing down from it.

Every demonbeast watching the fight turned to the GSA, anger rising. They charged. Shouts soon filled the air. Meta Knight looked around him in horror. They were all on the same side yet their hatred for the other kept them apart. Many of the GSA soldiers had lost parts of their families to Knightmare's forces and the demonbeasts served to protect their prince.

"Sir Meta Knight!"

He turned around as Fumu, Bun, Knuckle Joe, Sirica, and Tokori ran to him. They helped him stand up and safely got him out of the fray. He held a glove over the bullet wound as he leaned against the tree. His body shook from desperation to stop the fighting.

Suddenly, a shout sounded clear over the noise.

"STOP!"

Everyone came to a halt as they turned to Kirby. The young Star Warrior stood on top of the hill that over looked the mayor's house. Galaxia shone in the sun from his side. His ability in speech had sky rocketed over the last few days. He no longer seemed to hold the innocence of a child but rather the strength of a great leader. His serious blue eyes scanned the crowds.

"Why do you fight like this when we are all on the side?"

"Did you see what that soldier did to your father?" Wolfwrath growled. "He was not hesitant to pull the trigger."

Kirby briefly glanced over at Meta Knight before returning his eyes to the wolf.

"Your own anger had cost him that."

He turned to the GSA.

"Did you not all vow to protect the universe and its people, no matter the circumstance?"

The soldiers said nothing but shuffled uncomfortably. Kirby turned to the demonbeasts.

"Did you not all swear to obey the laws of Dreamland as long as you choose to live here?"

Nobody said a word.

"Then it is settled. We must accept each other for what we are and to work together. I had been informed that it was ordinary wolves that ate Mayor Len's sheep, not demonbeasts."

Kirby dismissed the crowd and slowly, it broke apart as the Cappies and GSA soldiers returned to the village. Meta Knight limped over to his son. He placed his un-bloodied glove on Kirby's shoulder.

"That was well said. They all respect you without question. I only wish that you didn't have to be troubled by such events like this on your birthday."

Kirby smiled as he looked up at his father.

"Heh. I completely forgot about that. Everything's been kind of hectic since we got back from Knightmare Enterprises."

Meta Knight's eyes changed to a light blue.

"You've grown up so fast that your mother and I have barely had a chance to see you grow. Speaking about your birthday, come with me."

Kirby followed his father in puzzlement. After a long walk to the castle, Meta Knight placed a blindfold over Kirby's eyes.

"Dad, I don't' have time for games like this."

"We're almost there. It's important for me and your mother.

Kirby followed Meta Knight blindly. He guessed he was being taken to an underground room from the long flight of stairs he went down and the cool draft from the room.

"Okay, you may take the blindfold off now."

Kirby's eyes widened as he took the cloth off his face. They were in the Halberd's stationing room. The warship shone from careful polishing and cleaning.

"Happy birthday Kirby," Both Meta Knight and Clara said as his mother came into the room behind them.

She held a package in her hands. She held it out to Kirby. He took it and glanced at it and the Halberd.

"All this…for me?"

His parents nodded. He opened the package and pulled out a bright red cape with gold trims, a matching pair of shoulder plates, and a pair of white gloves like the ones his father wore. He looked at Meta Knight and Clara, mouth hung open in surprise.

"We're giving you the Halberd and your own armor. You can use them when you are leading the GSA," Meta Knight said. "The Halberd has been repaired and cleaned, ready for you to take command of it."

"Try on the armor Kirby." Clara said.

The armor and cape fit perfectly. Kirby spun around, letting the cape flow into the air as he admired it. It resembled Meta Knight's usual attire except for he had no mask. His father chuckled.

"You're going to have to pick out your own mask. Everyone has a different preference of styles and metal types."

Kirby looked back at the Halberd again.

"Don't you want to fly it? It is your ship after all."

"Nah. I have my own set of wings." Meta Knight said as his bat wings unfolded.

Kirby smiled. He hugged his parents.

"Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad."

Just as they were about to walk over to Kirby's new warship, Sword and Blade came running in.

"Sir! Sir! You have to come immediately! There's a new order sent by Dedede! It's urgent!"

Meta Knight looked at Kirby before he reluctantly followed the two apprentices back to the castle grounds. Kirby sadly watched as his father left. What he had wanted the most was to spend time with his mother and father.

A/N: That concludes the first chapter! I thought it would be interesting to portray the GSA being somewhat of the 'bad guys'.

Also, I wanted to give Kirby a stronger figure than what he had been like from Angels of Prophecy. In that story, he didn't' get a much of a role. Since he is the new GSA leader, taking the position after Sir Arthur, he really needed to become more mature and less child-like to lead the military force.
