Chapter 2: Camping
Kirby was following Meta Knight, Sword Knight and Blade Knight all the way into the woods carrying a bag. It was like any other average forest with large, green trees. Soon they arrived to a big spot in the forest. "This looks good. We can set up here," Meta Knight said, and Sword and Blade plopped their bags down. "Blade, you set up the tents. Sword, you get firewood for tonight," he gave them their orders. They nodded and took off to do what he said. Kirby looked at Meta Knight in confusion. "Poyo-help?" he asked if he could help. Meta Knight put a hand on Kirby's back before beginning to walk away from the camp spot. "You can help too, Kirby. We're going to do some fishing," Meta Knight implied. He nodded happily and followed him to a deeper part of the forest.
After a while, they arrived to a stream of water, the running water zoomed by and it was clear. The sunlight was reflecting off the water, making it sparkle before their eyes. Kirby was confused since they didn't have any fishing rods but he saw Meta Knight cut some vines off with his golden sword Galaxia and tie them together. After a short time of watching, Kirby saw that Meta Knight made a net of vines. Meta Knight threw the net into the water, and they just had to wait until some of the fish ran into the net.
"So, Kirby, sorry for dragging you all the way out here, but I could not talk to you in Cappy Town," Meta Knight started while standing there. Kirby was sitting beside him, looking at him in a confused manner. "But you are a Star Warrior, and it is time to acknowledge it. You know NME has a lot of monsters scattered across each planet. I think it is time to begin training you," he explained to him. Kirby looked into his reflection in the water, feeling unsure about it, but Meta Knight put a hand on his head and Kirby looked up and smiled at him. "So what will it be?" Meta Knight asked. "…okay-poyo," Kirby responded happily, thinking this would be a great experience.
"Who knows? You may even meet other warriors, maybe even find others that will be as loyal to you, just as Blade and Sword are to me," Meta Knight exclaimed. Kirby always saw him as partially a father figure sometimes. As they pulled in the vine woven net, they found a good amount of fish in it. Kirby and Meta Knight began dragging it back to the camping spot.
When they got back to the camp site, they found out it was getting dark already. Sword Knight had gotten the fire started, and Blade had set up the two tents. Meta Knight got a couple of sticks and sharpened them. Once they were sharp enough, he began stabbing the fish onto them and putting them over the fire to let them cook.
Kirby sat down by the fire happy of everything so far that was going on. While they were eating, Meta Knight was talking to Sword and Blade Knight. Afterwards he turned to Kirby.
"We have had your ship repaired for a while. One of Dedede's failed plans resulted in it being fixed. We shall leave first thing when we get back to the kingdom," Meta Knight explained and Kirby nodded. "This is sure going to be interesting to have another sparring teammate," Blade Knight claimed happily. Kirby looked into the crackling fire as it blazed brightly, wondering if his friends would be fine with it. Once they finished eating, Meta Knight got up and went into his tent. "You gotta share ours, Kirby. Sorry 'bout that," Sword Knight apologized. "Poyo-poyo-poyo~" Kirby replied, trying to say that it was fine, but he ended up getting a laugh from the two since they were unable to understand him well. The three of them went into their tent to go to sleep for the night.
Kirby just slept peacefully, happy to know that Meta Knight was going to begin training him, but he was worried of what monsters Nightmare Enterprises might have on the other planets. But he was just glad that he could go help others since he had saved Cappy Town a long time ago.
