Chapter 2 is here! Own one no-one but my OC Shuriken and my minor OC Moto.
As Axe Knight entered the generator room, he was greeted by the familiar sound of humming engines. The walls were lined with strange contraptions that looked like something between a hamster wheel and a treadmill. Each one was occupied by a Wheelie. They ran to and fro in their machines, generating kinetic energy, and the large crystal in the generator transformed it into all the energy needed to heat, light and fly the Halberd. However, some of them were slowing down, possibly the cause of the flickering lights.
Axe Knight walked over to a large unplugged wire and plugged it into the generator. Almost instantly, an electrical surge travelled through the contraptions and into the Wheelies. Due to Wheelies being mechanical beings, they fed on things like electricity and fuel like petrol. You may think it is cruel to keep them cooped up, but really, due to the Wheelie's non-stop attitude, and the fact they have food, a roof over their heads and a purpose, they were actually quite happy.
As Axe Knight let the electricity flow, he heard a purring sound next to him. It was a Wheelie. The Wheelie's engine was purring like a cat, and Axe Knight scratched its head, and the Wheelie rolled not its side, and Axe Knight tickled its tyre. This was a very special Wheelie, Moto. Moto was the Wheelie that helped Kirby escape from the Halberd, and Meta Knight was going to have him melted, but Kirby has accidentally crashed him, causing his wires to become crossed, making him believe he was a pet, though whether he thought he was a dog or a cat was yet to be decided upon.
Axe Knight gave Moto a goodbye scratch on the exhaust and unplugged the wire. He noticed the Wheelies were going a lot faster now, clearly benefitting from their meal. As he walked along the corridors back to the games room, he heard a knock on the metal main gates of the Halberd, up on the main deck.
That's odd, he thought, We hardly ever get visitors.
He pressed the button to open the door, and was faced with a wall of metal, or, more precisely, armour. The armour was primarily grey, but the shoes, shoulder pads and the top half of the helmet were red. Also, the shoulder pads and helmet were adorned with yellow spikes, though the helmet had only one, like a rhinoceros. On its back it carried a sword so large it could probably skewer three melons and still do major damage. Two yellow eyes stared down at Axe Knight from the depths of the helmet.
"Umm, h-hello?" stammered Axe Knight, clearly very nervous, because, well, would wouldn't be confronted by an armoured stranger with a sword twice as big as you?
The figure placed a hand on it's chest and knelt on one knee. "We have come to join you." said a deep voice from somewhere in the armour. Most if it came from the mouth.
"Err, we?" asked Axe Knight "I can only seem to find one if you..."
Suddenly, a pink blur shot over the armoured figures shoulder and also knelt as Axe Knight's feet. Now it was still, Axe Knight could see it was a female Tsukikage (the enemies Kirby gets the Ninja ability from), but her outfit was pink, not purple. She also had a plait of blonde hair growing out the bottom of her headgear and heavily accentuated eyelashes.
"We have come to fight with you on the side of good." she announced "My brother, Heavy Knight, and I, Shuriken, come to offer our services to the Meta-Knights."
"Erm, brother?" asked Axe Knight. "I'm not seeing the family resemblance between you two.."
"We were adopted by an ex-Star Warrior, he taught us everything we know."
"Well, you two should come in then, but I don't call the shots; Meta Knight does."
Chapter 2 us done. Review if you liked it or otherwise!
