This is going to possibly be one of the best stories I've ever written. I think the title is good as well. I'm going to try my best to sort out the paragraphs this time, so my story will look neater. I'm incredibly sorry if the first chapter is too much like Twilitprincess's story, 'Shadow Wings' but as you read on, this story becomes a whole lot different. I just wanted to make a story about what happens when everyone finds out about Meta Knight's wings, but apparently someone already did. The crazy thing is, the reason I made this story was because i wanted a story about Meta Knight's wings, but I end up making an entirely different story. Read more and you'll find out why.
I don't own any of the Kirby characters.
"Poyo!" Kirby squealed as he played with Tuff. Tiff was sitting against a tree and reading a book. She put down her book and walked over to a different tree.
"Ya know, you don't have to watch Kirby all the time." She said facing the tree. Meta Knight walked out from behind the tree and said, "How did you know I was here?"
"Your glowing eyes kinda gave you away." Tiff said. Meta Knight turned and watched Kirby. "Why do you watch Kirby all the time?" Tiff said.
"I do it to protect him." Meta Knight said.
"From Dedede's monsters? He can handle that himself." Tiff said. "Most of the time, but some day, Dedede may create a monster that not even Kirby could defeat alone. Besides, another monster is supposed to attack today." Meta Knight said."How do you know?" Tiff said.
"I heard Dedede talking about a large and fast monster. It should appear any second now." Meta Knight said. Tiff just shrugged and went back to reading her book.
Hours later Tiff had finished her book and told Tuff to come back to the castle soon. She was almost out of sight when Meta Knight noticed a dark figure flying out of one of castle windows.
"Tiff, wait. Something is coming."
Tiff looked at where the castle was and saw a dark figure flying right for them. Even though it was far away, it appeared before them within seconds. The creature looked like a large bird with orange and green wings, and a yellow feathered tail.
It looked at them and found its target: Kirby. The skies turned black with swirling clouds as it roared. In the blink of an eye, the bird had grabbed Kirby and was flying away. "Kirby!" Tiff shouted. Kirby tried to escape, but he could hardly move. "Meta Knight! Don't just stand there! Save him!" Tuff yelled. "But I-" Meta Knight looked at Kirby, every second the distance between them grew. "If you insist." Meta Knight unleashed his wings and flew after the Knight caught a glimpse of Tiff's scared expression when he passed her.
"After this, they may never trust me again, but I'll do anything to protect Kirby." Meta Knight thought.
He soon caught up to the bird and sent a sword beam towards its wing. The bird cried in pain as it fell towards the ground. Meta Knight grabbed Kirby from its talons before the bird hit the ground. It landed very harshly and soon Meta Knight had struck it with another sword beam and the bird disappeared into a puff of smoke.
Meta Knight landed and set Kirby down. Kirby was about to thank Meta Knight when he saw the wings on him. They were big and bat-like with claws. Kirby looked at them curiously. Meta Knight looked at his wings as well, but they were not normal. They were larger and fiercer than normal, and the tip of his wing had not 1 but 2 claws now. Meta Knight knew what happened, his wings will shed the top claw every now and then, causing his wings to grow larger and temporarily have 2 claws at the top. Kirby was not afraid of Meta Knight and his wings any more than he was before.
"We must hurry and get you back before your friends start to worry more than they already are."Meta Knight picked up Kirby and flew towards Cappy town.
Meta Knight arrived at Cappy town and saw Tiff. He landed in front of her and put Kirby down. Kirby ran happily over to Tiff. "Kirby! Are you okay? Did the monster hurt you?" Tiff said.
"He's fine, I was able to defeat the bird before it hurt him." Meta Knight said.
"I wasn't talking about the bird." Tiff said as she gave Meta Knight a harsh look.
Meta Knight had feared this would happen. With his wings in their current state, they looked as if they belonged to a demon. Meta Knight was about to explain, but Tuff cut him off and yelled, "You're one of the monsters Dedede created aren't you?" Meta Knight was shocked at Tuff's accusation. Is that really how his wings made him look?
"I-It's not w-"
"Shut up! Why should we listen to you? You lied to us! We trusted you!" Tiff said.
The other Cappies started to crowd around Meta Knight, and started yelling horrible things at him. "Get out of here and don't come back!" "Get out of our town!" "Leave and don't bother coming back!"
Every word they said hurt Meta Knight badly. Did his wings really change his appearance that much?
Tiff was holding on to Kirby tightly and Tuff stood in front of her. "You heard them! Get out!" Tuff said.
Meta Knight hesitated but turned around and started walking away. One Cappy threw a rock at Meta Knight. The other Cappies started to throw rocks at Meta Knight but he ignored them.
Tuff growled and said, "Hurry up! Go! Beat it!"And he too threw a rock at Meta Knight.
It hit his claw on his wing and knocked it off, but no one but Meta Knight noticed. "Why don't you just hurry up and fly away from here?" Tuff said. Meta Knight looked at Tiff. "You're not welcome here anymore! Hurry up and go! Don't even think about seeing Kirby again!" she said. Meta Knight broke into a run and flew away from Cappy town.
The bird that was in this chapter actually exists in another game! (A quite popular one at that.) Can you figure out what its name is? I'll tell you in chapter 3. The next chapter is one of my favorites! I hope you enjoy it!
I've read Twilitprincess's story and this chapter was WAY too much like hers. I'm am so sorry, Twilitprincess! I promise the next chapters will be completely different! Everyone give credit to her!
