The skies in Dreamland were dark. They flashed and roared as violent wings flew through the night.
A fierce wind blew an unforgiving cold throughout the land. The citizens of Dreamland, also known as Cappies, watched in horror as a vicious creature laid waste to their world. Dreamland was being held hostage by a horrific creature known by the name of Malice, the Queen of Evil. She is what is considered to be the root of all evil, the source. She came to bring the end of peace in Dreamland. For reasons unknown, this divine creature sought to destroy the land and everyone who inhabited it. Malice is a flying beast with fiery wings and sharp fangs that drip a mysterious liquid. Her eyes have the power to freeze you in fear. She shows no mercy or no surrender. The Cappies watched in horror as this beast flew and screeched over them. She perched herself atop a volcano and let out a loud long cry. The Cappies trembled in fear. Some fell to their knees, some cried and others held each others hands and took cover. The brave ones were even taking photos and videos of this beast. They all waited for a hero..
"I gotta do something!...What am I gonna do?..." The self-proclaimed King of Dreamland, King Dedede pushed himself through the crowd of Cappies in a rush to find answers.
"Your majesty what do we do?" One yelled.
"Who is going to save us?!"
He heard nothing but cries for help as he ran though the mob of panicking Cappies. He stopped to catch his breath.
"Boy, I gotta start gettin' in shape or it's gonna be the death of me."
Suddenly, Malice screeched again. The sky was a dark red and dark black and grey clouds filled the air. Dedede was knocked to the ground along with many others. There was screaming coming from the crowd. Many began to run to take cover in buildings. Dedede picked himself up and continued on. People were so frantic they were almost trampling each other. Dedede had had enough.
"Stop!" He yelled. Nobody heard him. Crying babies and screaming Cappies drowned out the Kings mighty voice. He grew impatient. He slammed his grand hammer to the ground and with a mighty roar yelled at the top of his lungs,
"I SAID STOP! WHEN I SAY STOP YOU ALL STOP!" His voice echoed throughout the crowd.
"Now, pull yourself together right now!" A million frightened eyes focused on him. It was dead silent.
"Now, I'm telling you right now, runnin' around crying and screaming ain't gonna get you no-where."
The Cappies watched in fear.
"But Your Majesty...what are we gonna do?..."
The King stood tall.
"I'll tell you what we do! We fight back!"
The crowd erupted in awe.
"How do you possibly expect us to fight back?" A Cappy man yelled. "Were powerless against this beast!"
"Powerless? Who you callin powerless?" The King raised his fist in anger.
"B-b-but we simply cannot fight such power!" A Cappy woman said.
The King ran out of patience. He turned around and faced Malice who was still on top of the volcano.
"Your Majesty...no-"
"Alright you big bully you listen here! This is it! You and me! Right here! Right now!"
Malice looked at King Dedede right in the eye. He didn't flinch.
"What's the matter? Ya scared?" He yelled. Malice was getting angry.
"Your Majesty stop it! You're going to get us all killed!" A Cappy yelled from the crowd.
The King turned around.
"I'll tell you what I'm gonna do here...I'm-" Suddenly he was picked up and carried away by Malice. She had flew right up to him and swooped him away with her large talons.
"KING DEDEDE! NO!" A Cappy yelled as she fell to her knees. "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!"
Malice flew above the crowd screeching and screaming sending them all to take cover. The King was panicking in her grasp as the villagers watched in horror. It was the apocalypse.
The King looked down in horror.
"PUT ME DOWN YOU OVERSIZED MOSQUTIO!" He kicked and screame like a little child. Malice looked down at him and screeched loudly exposing her small yet terrifyingly sharp and hostile fangs. They dripped and curled and the ends. The King's heart began to pound out of control. He began to see flashes of white as if his life were about to end.
"Well it looks like this is the end of Ol' King Dedede..." He muttered. He shut his eyes and braced for impact when suddenly, Malice's grip loosened. He looked up and saw the great Meta Knight taking on the beast.
"Hang on your Majesty!" He yelled. He swung his sword quickly and violently aiming for the face. He successfully swiped her right in the eye. She scowled and hissed and she let go of her grip on King Dedede who began to fall from her talons. He screamed in fear, but not for long as Meta Knight swooped in and saved him from hitting the ground. He caught him by the ankle and carried him to safety. Malice had fled from Meta Knight and she was no where to be seen. Meta Knight dropped the King off below. He quickly picked himself back up and brushed himself off. He was covered in ash, and dust and his robe was slightly torn up and burned. The Cappies all slowly gathered around him in a circle. He felt their eyes looking at him and angrily turned around. They were all looking at him in fear. He scowled.
"What are you all lookin' at?!" Meta Knight walked up to him. The King scoffed. "I didn't need your help!"
Meta Knight nodded at him. "You're welcome your majesty."
The King growled at him in anger. "Yeah, yeah, thanks a lot Meta Knight." He wasn't too thrilled about having to be saved in front of his entire kingdom like that.
"Don't be so humble." Meta Knight added with a giggle.
The Cappies approached the King.
"Are you ok your Majesty?"
"Yeah, yeah I'M FINE! You can all go home! Story's over! The end!" The King turned around and prepared to walk away when the sky became darker once again.
Meta Knight quickly turned around as well. "I wouldn't be so sure about that!"
They looked up and sure enough, Malice was coming back for more. This time, she was angry. Meta Knight pulled out his sword. He pushed everyone back. "Stand back," He then flew up quickly into the sky blades out. Malice came at Meta Knight charging in full force. With great bravery Meta-Knight fought her. She swung her mighty tail at him and he avoided it and countered with a tornado spin. He caught her off-guard by spinning behind her and he was about to attack from the behind. He furiously swiped at her head as she screamed and howled in pain. She turned around and grabbed him by her talons and threw him right into the ground. He collided into the Earth causing a large hole to form. He flew right back up again sword in hand ready to take on more. He approached her head on and pulled out his sword. Malice swung her mighty tail and she knocked his sword right from his hand. It flew to the ground so fast Meta Knight didn't even have a chance to see where it went. He turned around and anxiously scanned the area to see. Malice then struck Meta Knight with her tail and he went spiraling into the ground once again. He crashed into the dirt, face down skidding across the ground until he came to a stop. This time he didn't get back up. He weakly looked up and saw Malice still had her eyes dead set on him. He shook and struggled to get up. His bones were so banged up he couldn't move. Two brave Cappies rushed to his side. His wings were crumpled and cracked and broken, covered in ash and partially burned. Malice howled and began to swiftly fly throughout the air, she was so unpredictable, no one knew what to expect next. King Dedede ran up to Meta Knight.
"Now why'd you have to go and do that for? Now you made her mad! He yelled. She screamed and hissed so loud it shook the World. She was very angry. She flew to the top of the volcano once again and dipped her tail inside. Meta Knight struggled to get up. He looked at King Dedede.
"Your Majesty...We need him." He weakly said. "I...I can't do this myself."
The King scowled.
"No! Absolutely not! There ain't no way no how!" He angrily yelled
"Your majesty...he's our only hope. To save our world...to save your people...to save you!"
The King bit his lip.
"We don't need him!" He yelled. "You and I...we got this!" The King picked Meta Knight up. He limped and fell back down immediately. He was badly injured. They both were.
"Your Majesty...Please...I beg you." Meta Knight pleaded.
King Dedede turned around and faced his people. They were weak, scared and all needed a hero. They looked more frightened than they ever have before in their life. They were shaking, they were all huddled together and holding hands. They nodded in agreement with Meta Knight. Even the children were. King Dedede sighed.
"It's not like I got him on speed dial! What do you suppose I do?" He said.
Meta Knight looked up into the sky.
"If I know him...and I do...He'll hopefully be here any minute." He said. "He'll sense we need his help. It is in his nature, his blood, to help out anyone in need."
The King and Meta Knight looked up into the sky together.
"I sure hope you're right Meta Knight." The King took Meta Knights hand as they watched together.
"Come on, Kirby."
