Update: 9/12/13

After taking into account the events that are to happen in future chapters, I have decided to rename my story. Please do not get mad, its just a simple name change, nothing major. Now please enjoy the story and ignore all naming errors, I'm just too lazy to fix them. ^-^' Bye!

Me: Hey look we're back and this time with the actual series!

Jessica: But I thought Collision was the series?!

Me: It is, but that's just the premiere episode of the real series spread out into many different chapters, THIS is the real series! Collision was just the name of the episode.

Jessica:... I'm still in it right?

Me: Yes, yes you are, and so is Meta Knight.

Meta Knight: Am I needed? I heard my name.

Me: Well Kind of, we're starting the REAL Collision series.

Meta Knight: Oh... Did I get a script?

Me: You didn't get it?

Meta Knight: No... *Gazes to Jessica, guessing she was in charge of giving it to him*

Jessica: O.O'

Me:* Face-palms* Okay while we look for the script Meta Knight never got please enjoy this episode and please comment and review if you can.

Episode 1: So it Begins...

The sounds of footsteps echoed through the forest. Leaves fluttered around us as the wind began to pick up. I peered from the hood of my cloak, and gazed upon the beautiful scene. I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't for the fact that everything I see could be gone by tomorrow.

My feet began to ache from exhaustion but I kept quite since it was a pain I had already grown accustomed to. I looked up to the sky, curious to see what time it was. The sun shined high above the trees, covering the land in it's warmth, from the sight I could see it was high noon. A strong gust suddenly whipped past us, making the cloak flutter, making the grey hood fall, exposing my long black hair.

"How long before we reach the road block?" came a voice.

"Not long, another few days on foot if we keep going I this direction" I answered, turning to the owner of the voice.

He was leaning against a tree, his dark blue cape and small stature shielding him from the wind. A pair of yellow eyes stared back at me from behind the metal mask of his.

"I think we should set up camp for now." he spoke softly.

"What, why? The suns still up, we still have a lot of ground to cover!" I argued." Are you feeling alright Meta Knight?"

"Yes I am, but I'm more concerned about you. We've been traveling none stop for days now, and I can see it's taking a toll on you." he explained.

"I'm fine, I can still keep going-" not watching where I was going, I tripped over my unresponsive legs and fell face first onto the ground. Damn it! I hate it when he's right.

"My point exactly." he mused.

"Fine..." I mumbled.

We walked a bit further until we made it to a small clearing, the trickle of a small stream could be heard in the distance.

"I'll set up the fire if you are willing to catch the fish." He called a he a watched me hurry away toward the stream.

"Okay!" I yelled, determined to put my non existent fishing skills to the test.

The steam was large but shallow, making all the fish that swam in it visible. I watched happily as the fish swam up stream for a while before attempting to create something to catch them with. I tried making a small net out of some tall grass but seeing as I knew nothing about weaving, the net kept breaking apart. After a few failed attempts, I settled on trying to create a small spear to try and stab them with.

I reached back into my grey cloak and felt around for a moment before my hand finally brushed against a metal hilt just behind my shoulder. Sword in hand, I took a large branch and started to sharpen it. When it was finally done, it's tip was almost as sharp as my blade. I walked over the the waters edge and knelled down, trying to keep my shadow from scaring away all the fish. I waited there silently for my unsuspecting prey to swim by. When one did, I would immediately plunge the spear into the water, missing miserably every time.

Hours went by like this, and still no fish. The sun was starting to set and I was starting to lose faith on making a catch today. But the thought of going back to Meta Knight without something to eat kept me going. Suddenly, there was movement in the murky water in front of me. I sent the spear flying into the river again, hoping this time I wouldn't miss. All was still for a heartbeat until large frantic splashes came from below the waters surface. I jumped into the water, to retrieve the spear and secure the catch.

I nearly started to weep in joy when I had finally caught something. The fish was nearly half the length of my entire arm, and to add to my luck, it was a fat one too. Though, the more I looked at the fish, the more I realized it wouldn't be enough to fully feed both me and Meta Knight.

"Well it's a good thing I don't eat as much as Kirby " I cried out cheerfully as I headed back to camp with the fish in my arms. The sun had already set when I reached the clearing I had last seen Meta Knight in. A large roaring fire laid in the middle. I nearly dropped the fish when I saw what was above the fire in shock.

Above the fire were not one but a dozen, already being cooked, fish.

"Ah, your back and I see you caught yourself a fish." He gestured toward the fire, trying to tell me to cook it. I looked at my fish half heartily as I put it over the flames disappointed by the fact my catch was meaning less after all.

"I didn't know you so good at fishing." I said sadly.

"To be honest I have to be..." He trailed of as he started to think of something else.

"Why is that?" I pressed, snapping him out of his trance.

"Huh? Oh... because back on Pop-star every time Tiff, Tuff, and the others would go camping, they would always end up starving when Kirby would accidentally eat all the food. Tiff, being so caring of her friends, would always give her catch to Kirby but one fish was never enough." He pause for a moment, remembering old times before continuing.

"I would always accompany them ever since Tiff told me about Kirby's eating problem, to make sure they would no longer have to worry about losing their lunch. This left me in charge of fishing for Kirby, as well as my own dinner." I looked at him in amazement, and then to the fish, which was a clear indication of his skill.

We soon found ourselves gorging on fish, filling our bellies for the first time in days. I laid down next to the fire and stared up to the stars. They showed brightly out in the woods, brighter than in the city, that's for sure. I could help but feel uneasy, despite having a full stomach. My mind wondered to my family.

Meta Knight looked down from his tree and glanced at me for a second before back to the stars. He too started to wonder what the others must be doing back home on planet Pop-star.

I soon found myself drifting off, soon allowing myself to fall into a deep slumber. I found myself back home, I was laying on my bed. I got up, walked outside into the living room, eager to find my family waiting for me in the living room. My brother was on his computer like always, my father on his bed and my mother cooking up dinner. They all turned away from what they were doing when they saw me run through the hall. A single tear fell down my cheek, I was happy, I was home.

They continued to stare at me for a few more seconds before someone finally moved. I looked to my mom, I smiled, how I had longed to hung her. I walked towards her, wanting to pull her into an embrace but then I stopped. Something wasn't right. She remain silent as I closed the gap between us. She was never this quite, the strange change in my mother caused me to keep a healthy distance as I looked at her once more, before turning to the others. They were still watching from where I had found them when I walked in. Their faces expressionless.

"Whats wrong... You guys didn't forget about me that easily, right?" I asked, concerned. They didn't respond. My brother then stood up without warning. I kept my eyes fixated on him, confused by this. I didn't notice my mom had gotten closer to me until I felt two hand on my throat. My eyes widen, shocked; I was being choked by my own mother!

"W-what are you doing!?" I shrieked, gasping for air as I was slowly lifted of the ground. Her lips began to curve up in a sickening smile. My father and brother were now on their feet and closing in as well. They held the same expression as mom. Then they started to take on different forms. Their skin started to change from their normal tan color to a dark purple, their eyes coming together to create one single eye. Their smile grew bigger until it stretched across their face, ear to ear.

I struggled against the monsters grip, but it was no use, it was too weak from the lack of oxygen to resist any longer. My vision started to fade as the second monster transformed it's hand into a blade getting ready to swing.

I sat up in a cold sweat. I was still trembling from the dream. I looked around to make sure that I was really back at the camp and not just in another dream. My heart started to regain it's normal rhythm after a moment. I looked up at the tree Meta Knight had slept in, hoping that he hadn't seen. He was still sound asleep. I sighed in relief, I didn't want to be reminded of this later on. I looked back up to the sky again, this time the stars were starting to disappear, the sun beginning to shine from over the horizon.

I continued to look up until as small thud from behind me brought my gaze back down. Meta Knight was now at my side.

We began to go on our way again, heading towards the east. Within a hour we found our way into a small city or town, from the signs, I learned it was called Batesville. The place was in shambles. Every building that once stood was either deserted or crushed. We walked past the devastation happy to see we haven't stumbled upon any corpses yet. We stopped in the middle of the street.

"Jessica, I want you to stay on your guard while exploring, there's a good chance the demons that did this are still lurking around." he cautioned. I nodded as I walked of, I need to find a market or at least the remains of one in order to stock upon supplies before we continued. I was usually the one to gather supplies while Meta Knight went to do, well, Meta Knight things I guess.

I found what I was looking for not to far from where I had begun my search. To my pleasure, I was happy to find it still in tack, with only just a knocked down wall in the entrance I carefully stepped over the rubble and found that the inside was worse that I thought it had been. All the shelves, carts, products and anything else inside was on the floor. Finding canned goods here was going to be tough.

I got down on my knees and began to dig, finding nothing but spoiled or useless items, only finding one or two good ones. I was about to move on when I spotted something form the corner of my eye. It was a jar of candy. I quickly opened the jar and popped a piece into my mouth, checking to see if they were still good. To my happiness they still were. I put the jar in my pack and got up, heading for the door when I heard a commotion outside. I ran out of the ruins to check out what was happening.

"Jessica get back!" He yelled as he fought off his attacker. I obeyed and remained where I was, but only from the fear that if I were to intervene he'll get hurt trying to protect me. The beast was somewhat of a humanoid-insect like creature, it had sharp pincers and teeth. I watched as Meta knight began to land hits on the creature where as it wasn't able to land a single one on him.

Then I felt a rumbling in the earth, the tremors coming directly from beneath me. I jumped out of the way just as a large beast emerged from the ground. It was as big as an elephant, with arms that resembled those of an ape. I quickly drew my sword, and stood my ground. Meta Knight was watching me from a distance, still too busy fighting the other monster to help. The monster lunged at me as I readied myself. I smiled slightly.

I had learned how to use a sword since the last time I fought, meaning I wasn't as helpless as before. The snake back home had gotten an upper hand on me by breaking my arm when it caught me off guard, but this time I was ready. I felt my stomach knot up when I pushed myself forward.

It's attacked missed me as I maneuvered around it. It's over-sized limbs, and weight made the monster's movements slow and clumsy giving me the advantage. It tried to recover from it's previous attack, and prepare itself to for a second strike only this time aiming especially for my legs. I swiftly avoided it by jumping into the air above it's head. Blood spilled everywhere as my blade ripped through the beast's throat, as it let out a muffled cry before falling at my feet. It's blood dripped from the tip of my blade, soon making a small pond where I stood. Meta Knight was out of sight again, having killed his opponent around the same time as me; making sure no other monsters had been drawn to the noise. I looked up to the clear skies above again, finding hard believe how messed the world had become in such a short while.

"This world really is going to hell..." I mumbled to myself, looking into the distance. I started to walk away, looking for a place to sit.

Me: Well that concludes the first episode of "Protectors of Peace" *sorry again for the name change* Sorry if it wasn't as long but the next one for sure will be better. :D

Jessica: It was a good chapter I guess...

Meta Knight: Why didn't I get many lines?

Me: Someone lost your script remember, we had to improvise

Meta Knight: ... *walks away*

Me: (-_-) did you find the script?

Jessica: No... *Looks away guiltily*

Me: You better...

*Meta Knight walks back into room*

Meta Knight: Found it

Me and Jessica: Where was it?!

Meta Knight: Alex had it. He is still considerably mad about not getting to be in the rest of the series...

Me: *Sigh* He can be such a pain

Jessica: Why are you complaining he's my brother!

Me: I based him on my brother in IRL remember, so I know how annoying he can be.

Jessica: Oh... um, okay then...
