"Woah... Dude, are you seeing this?" "Forget seeing, get it on video man!"

"What the hell is happening!?" "Hey! Watch your language, there are kids!"

"Ma! Ma! Look at the big, floaty thingy!" "...Y-yes dear, I see it alright..."

In stark daylight, the citizens of Musutafu were understandably riled up one way or another over the appearance of what appeared to be a warship floating above the city. It had a very unique design that was non-comparable to any other aircraft, the distinct mask-like bow being a large factor in that regard. Many speculated that the ship may have belonged to a hero or hero team ready to make their debut but a few...fanatical individuals claimed aliens.

No one knew how to deal with it, or even knew what its intentions were so the police called in a certain heroine to see if she could find out just what the heck was going on. Plus, her Quirk made sure she was even able to reach the ship in the first place. Regardless of whoever was doing what, no one could have predicted what was to come in the future as a result of this ship appearing.

"Mt. Lady, reporting for duty!"

Slashing through air as Meta Knight attempted to keep his balance, our Galaxia wielder was in the midst of training his footwork, his stance, his attacks, his guards, his-I think you get the point. Why was he training so hard though? He had enough skill to beat up the strongest warrior in his galaxy so why was he stumbling over his own movements?

Simply put, Meta Knight had...changed as a result of passing through that rift Star Dream had fired. After being blinded by the extreme light the rift created, Meta Knight had found himself in a much different form.

His new body shape was known as humanoid, if he was remembering correctly, and he also gained additional clothes along with the limbs humanoids have. His head was coated by dark blue hair and his skin was a nice pale color but other than the whole "changing into a different body" thing, Meta Knight still somewhat resembled his old self.

The masked knight wasn't too off put by the change. Earlier, after he got over the initial shock, he calmly assessed the situation, as he was still wary from the risks of being sent through a rift created by an enemy. The rift could've led to someplace unwelcoming if he wasn't lucky.

However, this wasn't the case since Meta Knight had seen only a city below his mighty Halberd the first time he checked. All in all, not that bad of a situation, considering the context. The planet he was on seemed fine (which he would investigate later; he knew Kirby had to be somewhere) and his body change wasn't that much of a setback.

Actually, he was considering the many benefits and advances in his swordplay if he mastered this new body shape so that ties us back to why Meta Knight was currently on the floor, face down with his cape over his head.

Recomposing himself, Meta Knight tried to ignore the pitiful memory of him tripping over his own feet as he brought Galaxia up again. Right as he was about to get back into training, a voice interrupted him.

"Hello? All occupants of this aircraft, please station yourselves at the deck and state your intentions. Hostile resistance will result in your defeat and arrest." The feminine voice announced.

Confused at who could be talking to him, Meta Knight complied and exited the control room.

While Mt. Lady waited a couple seconds to see if her orders would reach whatever was on the ship, she was admittedly curious of it herself and was shifting her head to catch different angles of the ship, similar to how a child would marvel at a toy through a display case. The sizing sort of fit too, since the ship was a little bit smaller than Mt. Lady was currently.

Noticing something was coming out to the deck, Mt. Lady quickly recomposed herself, hoping that her image as a hero wasn't too demeaned by her behavior. Focusing on her task, Mt. Lady observed the dark figure making its way to the deck by itself. There's only one... Is this guy really the only one on the entire ship?

Before she could ask the figure to state its intentions, Mt. Lady awkwardly tilted her head to the side as the figure accidentally stepped on its cape and slipped backwards onto the deck floor. A closer look at the figure showed that it was male with most of his body cloaked by a dark blue fabric. He also wore pauldrons on his shoulders, one of them having an emblem of sorts and his face was covered by a silver mask that displayed bright yellow eyes.

"Excuse me." The man quietly said. Once he got back up, Mt. Lady started her investigation.

"Please state your name and your business with Musutafu City."

"My name is Meta Knight and I have no business with this city for now."

Meta Knight? Maybe he is a debuting hero... Mt. Lady thought. "What exactly do you mean by that?"

"I plan to search for someone later, however I still need to prepare myself. Actually, perhaps you can assist me, Ms...?" "Mt. Lady, at your service!" She announced, striking a pose. The curvy hero did this intentionally, knowing her many fans down below would appreciate it.

"Mt. Lady, if you can help me find who I'm looking for, it would be greatly appreciated." Meta Knight said, bowing his head.

This is where Mt. Lady started to hesitate a little bit. She couldn't tell whether she should help Meta Knight or not. On one hand, Meta Knight could genuinely need help in finding someone and if he accepts the heroes' help, they'd be able to find out what his deal with the huge airship is. On the other hand, he could be looking for this person for bad reasons and is actually a villain, albeit one who is not afraid to do things out in the open, judging by his ship being parked right above a city.

Frowning in frustration, Mt. Lady tried to decide what to do. I'm just used to smacking villains around while showing off! Should I help? Ugh, I'll just ask him to come with me to a police station and go from there. If he turns hostile, that ship is getting smacked out of the air.

"Well Meta Knight, why don't we continue this conversation down there? There's a lot of people there that can help you more than me." Mt. Lady suggested, pointing towards the city.
