Elsewhere Meta Knight was gathering all of the star warriors to Rising Star, hoping that the large concentration of rebels would attract nightmare and his forces. As he walked down the streets of what once was his hometown sorrowful memories that he had tucked into the back of his mind for so long. The tree in the village square, this is where he had hidden from nightmare after the war. The local supermarket, this is where his mother was killed. The schoolyard, this is where Jecra stole his lunch money every day. Jecra, the thought of his colligue stabbed him in the heart. As he kept walking many sorrowful memories flooded him. Then he walked pasthis home. Home, he remembered battling fierce dragons and saving the princess multiple times with his mother's manikin. Mom, it pained him to think of her too. She was always there to comfort him when he got hurt or was just feeling sad. She wasn't now. As he continued to remember his past a soilder ran up to him. He informed him that nightmare had arrived and demon beasts were filling the countryside. He just nodded, heaved a great sigh and left. He led his squadron of troops to the plains where the demon beasts were gathering. As he assesed the demons he noticed a figure in the mass. Jecra. He was overjoyed to see his colligue, no his brother again. But this joy was soon ended when he noticed he wasn't himself. Realising he had become a demon like the others Meta Knight went into feirce battle with his once close friend. Soon enough Meta Knight had delivered a blow hard enough to kill to his friend. As the wounded soilder fell to the ground his eyes turned back to normal and he pulled off the pennant he always wore off his neck. Holding it up with the last amount of strength he had he gave Meta Knight his most prized possesion. He smiled unseen under his mask and died. As his arm fell to the ground the pennant poped open revealing a picture if a small purple boy sucking on a pacifier. Engraved into the edge were the words 'War bonds brothers, But love bonds eternal friendship. Andrew 'Knuckle' Joseph Micheal Dunn-1992-Aconerith'. Meta Knight closed the locket holding it cloce to his heart. His best friend had a son. Looking down at his fallen brother Meta Knight began to cry. The smell of rotting flesh hung in the air, bodies littered the ground, this sight reminded him of that war so many years ago. He remembered the slaughter of his mother, nightmare kidnapping him, getting to know Garlude and Jecra. As memories flooded him another demon beast jumped out of the bushes ambushing the remorseful warrior. Not knowing what to do and being annoyed about the fact that he had suffered the death of so many loved ones because of nightmare and his workings he drew his sword. Drawing his strength from anger he began to strike, but stopped. A welcoming warmpth encircled him as he saw Jecra's smiling face kick up in some nearby dust. Realising what he was doing he calmed himself and just defended himself. As Chilidog ran him up the cliff he was stopped by a couple of robbers. Shoving them out of the way as the fierce demon pounced he mounted it and wrestled him into a lake at the bottom of the cliff. The robbers stood in awe as the soaked knight began to scale the monstorous cliff. They helped him up the rest of the way and requested to be knights of the strong warrior that had saved their lives. Knighting them 'Sword' and 'Blade' Meta Knight climbed the rest of the cliff and looked out into the sunset. His newfound knights kneeled behind him in great respect. Meta Knight knew he was the last one standing. He was the last of the Galaxy Soilder Army. But there was hope. He knew there would eventually be another generation of great warriors. He built a ship in search of a place likely to attract another warrior and left. His knights followed in a seperate ship as the three of them patroled the universe in search of a new hope.
