I ran faster once the screaming started. There was no way I was going to incur my masters wrath. As my room came closer, I noticed a delivery man was dead on the steps. I shoved him off with my foot and wondered. "What has my master, Nightmare, received that has angered him so? Could it possibly be...no. That couldnt be." More screams of agony below. I ran faster. Even though I was Nightmares stongest and favorite monster, on days like this his bloodlust went crazy and it didnt really matter who died by his hand. As the door of my room came into veiw, I breathed a sigh of relief. Saftey.

"Greetings, Meta Knight. How are you today?" I fell to my knees and gasped. How had he gotten in here so quickly, without me noticing? As if reading my thoughts (he was) he answered nonchalantly.

"My dear monstrosoty, It was obvious you'de be up here. You were even going to take an unsceadualed flight. Thats against the rules you know." My eyes flashed a deeper shade of crimson as my anger boiled. I struggled to keep it down, lest I wound up dead.

"Wh-What do you wish of me, Sir Nightmare? I take it you are not here on a casual inspection visit."

"Well arent we the smart one! Thats why I created you with a soul you see. Now youre much more powerful than the other demons! But as to why I am here, now thats a different question altogerther. You see, today I received a suprising bit of postage. Do you know where it was from?" I shook my head no.

"Why would I know anyways?" Suddenly I realized that I'd said that out loud. Nightmares eyes boiled and his cloak billowed out. He appeared ten times larger than normal, with flaming red eyes and a smile so sickening it made me want to hurl.

"IT WAS FROM THE STAR WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bird demons flew to the air screeching, his voice was so loud. The air became static as he calmed and his eyes became riveted points of light again. "My dear demon-" he made sure to emphisise the word demon as best as possible. "You would'nt happen to know anything about this package...or mabye what it contains?" I blinke din shock and anger.

"Do you consider me a traitor..." My words were deadly and dry as I slowly unfurled my wings. I could feel the blood running throughout my body, pounding in my brain. My eyes filled with the deep crimson color and my limbs tensed, preparing to kill. The sense came on and I knew it had began. Bloodlust. Nightmare smiled, reavealing pointed teeth.

"Exellent."

I let the anger take over as my sword slid silently across Nightmares torso, leaving a trail of shadows behind. He laughed and stepped aside to reveal a small child with eyes round and wide. It was only an inoccent child, but my anger was too immense. I decapitaited him in milliseconds, then turned and started flying towards the nearby villlage, my sword still dripping blood. My senses swam, and I knew that the village would be up in flames by sunset. 'Ha!" I thought to myself as I climbed higher into the atmosphere. "They will feel my wrath, and Nightmare will know; I am not a traitor!!" I laughed and the sound echoed throughout the canyons nearby, it's sound tolling death for all.

"Kirby!" Bun, Fumu's little brother, was playing in Kabu canyon with Kirby, under the watchful eye of Kabu of course. "Kirby!" Bun called again. "Did you hear that noise? It sounded like someone laughing...how creepy."

"...Poyo..." Kirby looked up from playing with the ball, his eyes round with wonder.

"I don't see anything either, Kirby. Maybe it was just our imaginations. Come on let's go get lunch!"

"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby squealed happily and the two friends began walking to Whispy Woods. There was a flash of red and purple in the sky that Kirby and Bun didn't notice...but someone did.

"...Huh?" Fumu looked up from the book she had been reading and shivered. "What was that strange feeling just now? It felt like something in the air, but it couldn't be Dynablade; she just passed through here with her chick. .......hmm...well...maybe I should send Kirby his warp star, just in case..."

She sent it spinning towards Whispy Woods and hoped that Bun and Kirby wouldn't get hurt. Just as Fumu started reading her book again, there was a scream. A bonechilling scream of aunguish. And a laugh.

I entered the village intent on killing someone in public. From the looks of it, these townspeople had never known fear. 'Well, i'll show them." I thought menacingly. Calmly, I stepped into the the village square. Then, laughing like a maniac, I disembowled the person next to me. He let out a bonechilling scream that I paid no mind to, and others soon followed. As screams filled the mercentile, my bloodlust began again and the village was soon up in flames. Woman cluched their children in hopes of them being spared. It was hard to choose. Kill the children first, and see the mothers looks of terror? Or kill the mothers first and let in sink in that they had died and the children started screaming, then kill them as well? I chose to both, laughing and flying around, spraying the crimson liquid on eveything. Fathers tried to act tough and defend their loved ones. One threw a chair at me, and another had a gun but didn't know how to use it. I killed him and stole the gun, firing it over the town. Heads exploded, sending fountains of blood rocking my direction. All the while I was laughing like an escaped convict. The fun was over way too quickly. I flew up and surveyed the damage, making sure that no one was left alive or din't have fatal wounds. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh. That sure calmed me down. I hope Nightmare was watching, cause that proves I'm 100% loyal." I breathed sighs of releif that my temperment was now under control. Just as I began to leave, there were shouts beneath me. "Oh crap." I thought. "I must have left some villagers all the more fun for Meta Knight!" I flew down closer to the noise and could just make out three small shapes. Okay, two children and...a round...pink...puffball.
