Well it took me a while to update, sorry I was on vacation and my fricken word sucks and deleted my first attempted at this chapter. This chapter was a pain to write, I really had some trouble trying to get everything to flow together and not have this chapter be forever long. Anyway this story starts off in the underground bunker that the Halberd was originally stored in; I didn't want to write the gang going down to the bunker because it would have been long and really boring so by the powers of author awesomeness I'm going to skip to the bunker. Enough with the rant onto the story.
Blade's Pov
"So you two have a ship" Fumu asked for the millionth time since the existence of the Morningstar had been revealed.
"Yes" Sword said tightly, he was usually hard to anger but Fumu was getting really annoying, I was about ready to strangle her and with the look on Sword's face he would probably let me.
The rest of the trip was suspended in silence, no one really wanted to talk at all, which was fine by me I really didn't want to talk to any of them either. The king and Escargoon sat in the back of the elevator and occasionally sent Sword and I ugly looks; Sword wasn't helping the situation at all either as he was flipping the bird to Dumbdederp whenever he gave us a look. Fumu was sulking over by Kirby, who looked like he actually grasped the tension of the current situation and was sitting quietly trying to no be seen I guess. Finally Sword and I were in the front of the elevator not really doing anything at all.
After about five more minutes of awkward silence we finally reached the bottom of the castle. The mammoth storage room that had formally housed the Halberd, the small area where Meta Knight kept Kanta was empty, as well as the huge amount of space that used to house the Halberd, in fact the whole warehouse-like structure was empty.
"Where is this ship of yours" Fumu asked looking around trying to find it.
"Yeah" Dedederp snarled "you said you guys had a ship so where is it?"
Sword and I exchanged a glance, then I stepped on a small tile near the wall where the tools where kept. A flicker went through the wall then the wall itself disappeared allowing the rest of our party to see the starship that had been concealed behind it. "Whoa" Fumu gasped "this is amazing."
Our ship is not nearly as big as the Halberd, in fact it's not really that big at all but it would fulfill our needs for finding Meta Knight. "What kind of a ship is this" Escargoon asked me his eyes wide as he tried to take in what he was seeing.
Sword answered for me, "this is the starship Morningstar, a six engine, nine thousand horsepower, type seven fighting starship."
The others gave Sword a look like he had just spoken a foreign language. "What he means is" I said "that this is a rather fast fighting starship that can house up to 20 people."
"That's what I said" Sword exclaimed "well maybe not the 20 people thing but still."
"So we are going to use this hunk of junk to fins Meta Knight" Dedederp sneered.
Sword walked right up to the king and poked a finger in his chest. "Listen Dededork" he snapped, I put Dededork into my memory banks for later, that was a pretty good nickname for him, "if you don't like the Morningstar then you don't have to come. Find your own starship to find Meta Knight I don't care, but do NOT dis my ship or I will shoot an arrow into your knee faster that Kirby can eat a watermelon are we clear?"
"Yes sir" Dedede squealed, the whole situation was funny as Sword is probably two feet shorter that Dedede and at least 100 pounds lighter when he is wearing armor, that and Dedederp doesn't have knees.
Everyone present was stunned, most people never ever saw Sword truly ticked, he was generally really laid back, respectful, and kind. "Has he ever done something like that before" Fumu asked apparently done sulking away for me.
I laughed, "you should see him when someone takes his cereal in the morning."
"You guys eat cereal?"
"Why not" I asked, "it's cheap it's easy and it nommy" I said now thinking about how I didn't have breakfast this morning, add it to the list of bad things that had happened to me today.
Focus Blade, I mentally scolded myself, now was not the time to go off on a food tangent, "Ok guys let's get on board and go" I said rubbing my hands together there was food onboard and I realized that I was starving, yup still on the food tangent.
Everyone filed on board only to find a massive surprise waiting for us. Sitting in the command chairs were Sirica and Knuckle Joe. Sword reacted before I did "um hello" he said startled.
I used all of the class in my possession and yelled "what the hell are you two doing on my ship"
"OUR ship" Sword corrected.
"Whatever" I huffed; I had more than enough surprises for today thank you very much.
"Well we were in this part of the galaxy and Fumu called us about Meta Knight and we came over here and wandered around till we ended up on your ship" Sirica said looking at me nervously.
"You're a girl" Knuckle Joe said dumbly.
"Um yeah we already established that" Escargoon said rubbing the back of his head.
The third awkward silence of the day ensued. Finally after a few agonized minuets Sirica broke the silence. "We locked onto a starship trail leaving Popstar's atmosphere, it a few hours old but still traceable."
"Well now that we have his trail we can go after him right" Bun asked, apparently because Meta Knight was gone everyone else was having fun popping up and scaring the crap out of me.
"When did YOU get here" I snapped.
"A few minutes ago" he smiled cheerfully, apparently it was make Blade angry day, and I didn't get the memo again.
Sword sensed my anger and cleared his throat loudly. "The longer we wait to go the harder it will be to track Kanta."
"Right" Fumu said, she had a cheesy fake smile posted on her face and she grabbed Bun and pulled him away from me as fast as she could.
"Hey" Bun yelled "Your eyes change color too!"
In My little rage fit my eyes had gone from their usual amber to a deep shade of red. "Yes and no" is said as my eyes changed back to their usual color "My eyes only go to red when I'm really angry, they don't change to any other color."
"Why" Sirica asked her eyes darted over me curiously.
Everyone stared at me and I resisted the urge to cover my face, I hate being the center of attention, it brought back bad memories. "It doesn't matter" I said hastily shoving Joe out of my seat and engaging the engines at the same time "we are losing Meta Knights trail and he is not going to just us find him so we need to go now."
Everyone nodded, at least they weren't all staring at me anymore, and they went to the various different seats scattered across the bridge. "Hey" a voice echoed in my head "are you ok"
"No"
"Can I help with anything?"
"You could jettison everyone off of our ship."
"No."
"Then you can't help."
"You know you can talk to me about anything right?"
"Yes."
"Tell me what wrong then."
"No, there is nothing wrong."
Sword sighed as he took the seat next to me, his face clearly showed his disappointment. "You really can tell me anything you know, I won't judge you for anything" he said his eyes meeting mine in a pleading gaze.
I turned my attention to the side of the command bridge, Fumu, Bun, Dedede, and Escargoon were all crowed around the port side window staring with gaping jaws as we took off, they really weren't used to space travel. "Sword" I whispered as I saw just how close Sirica and Joe were to us, "I think that there is something far more sinister going on."
I had his full attention, "what do you mean" he asked his eyes flashing an even paler shade of blue, if that was even possible.
"This seams wrong" I said trying to find the words to convey my thoughts.
"What seams wrong" he asked looking at Dedede attempting to straggle Escargoon for blocking his view, "what that they are all on this ship with us?"
"No" I muttered darkly "that Meta Knight would just destroy that Demon beast machine and leave without telling us. He also didn't cloak his ship to hide its output it's like he wanted us to follow him by why?"
I looked at Sword for reassurance that I was just over reacting but he just nodded his head gravely. "I think your right" he said finally "something is wrong I can feel it but I don't know what it is."
"Are you sure your powers aren't just spacing again" I asked, it had appended before it was completely possible it had happened again.
"No" he sighed "I wish that this is all that it was but this feels darker, more dangerous" he looked me strait in the eyes "there is a storm coming and I'm afraid of what it is going to happen when it hits."
Wow when I started this chapter it was just supposed to be some lighthearted filler but it ended so dark. Then again this story is changing in my mind like every day, this is nothing like what I originally planned it to be like but that's ok. Anyway there is something up with MK and the group is in space, Sirica and Knuckle Joe appeared in the most random of fashions on Sword and Blade's ship and apparently it is make Blade angry day people. Anyway I really don't have anything else to say so by. Toon in net time for Sight a chapter that is going to focuses a little more on Meta Knight and Sword's strange ability's (cookie for anyone who can guess what they are).
