Kirby: Return of NME

Chapter 1: Meta's Memory

It was another peaceful day in Dream Land; Cappies were going about their daily lives, Dedede was busy sunbathing, and Meta Knight was miserable. He was having a flashback to one of the most turbulent battles he had ever fought. A battle that was forever burned into his memory….

Flashback:

The battle was going badly for the Star Warrior force; they were outnumbered six to one and more monsters arrived each moment. Inside the melee, Meta Knight leaped and cleaved through a Windwhipper, slashed down two Denjaas, and turned toward another monster, Heavy Anaconda. The demonic snake had the element of surprise and would have devoured Meta Knight, but at that very moment a huge fireball blasted the creature to bits. Standing in the crater where the monster had been was a Burning Leo, the fire on his head crackling. "Hey Meta, you okay?" the Leo asked "I am fine, thanks to you." Meta Knight replied. The two warriors then leapt back into the fray, attacking with all their strength. As Meta Knight pounded monster after monster, he saw many of his comrades in the fray. When the retreat order was given, six warriors offered to stay behind and distract the monsters. As Meta Knight boarded his ship, he knew those six warriors were rushing to their deaths. A lump formed in his throat as he thought of the fighters. Gim, whose positive attitude had raised morale when things seemed most hopeless. Burning Leo, who had told stories to warm the hearts of troops as much as his flames warmed their bodies. Tac, who always seemed to have the right thing in his bag. Biospark, who was always right where you needed him, Sir Kibble, both a great warrior and an excellent cook. And Galactica Knight, whose lance and shield had saved Meta a dozen times. Meta Knight watched bleakly as the six fighters rushed into battle, meeting death with weapons held high. As his ship left the atmosphere, he swallowed his emotions and joined the rest of the warriors in orbit around Shiver Star. The six left on the planet vanished and were thought to be dead.

Flashback ends.

"Something's wrong with Meta Knight," Sword told Tiff, "he's acting really depressed and he's spacing out all the time, like he's wrapped up in the past." Tiff thought about this for a while. "Maybe he's remembering his old life as a Star Warrior," Tiff said, "maybe bad memories from his past are coming back to haunt him." Tiff had also noticed Meta Knight's change in attitude, and she didn't think it was good for him. "We should try and get him to talk to Mable; she might be able to help." Later, at Mabel's hut, Meta Knight explained how he had been tormented by his memories for several months now, and that he felt that his past was being used by someone. He didn't know how right he was.
