Chapter 4! Enjoy!
"Ready? Go!"
Meta Knight watched as Kirby quickly grabbed Roy and threw him off the stage. Roy managed to get back on but as soon as he did Kirby knocked him upwards. As he fell, Roy put up his shield when Kirby tried to grab him again. Roy attacked Kirby with his sword several times.
He knocked Kirby to the edge of the stage and ran over to him. Right as Roy was in the middle of attacking Kirby swiftly grabbed Roy, jumped up, and slammed him into the ground. After that, Roy couldn't even touch Kirby. Kirby would always dodge his attacks and attack Roy from behind.
Meta Knight was impressed at his apprentice's speed. Kirby dodged and dodged, and every time he did he would attack Roy. Then Meta Knight noticed something. Whenever Kirby was going to attack, his eyes would turn red. Soon, Roy already had 96% damage. Luckily for him, a heart container dropped and he was able to grab it before Kirby. Roy turned around but didn't see Kirby anywhere. Kirby had just, disappeared!
"Where did Kirby go?" Roy and Meta Knight thought.
"Poya!" Roy looked up and saw Kirby, diving down at him like a wolf. Kirby grabbed Roy's shoulders and slung him backwards. Roy almost fell off the stage again but managed to recover. Kirby tried to grab Roy but he dodged and slashed Kirby with his sword. Kirby now had 100% damage and as he got up he growled quietly but fiercely. Kirby's eyes were now a little red, and small fangs were sticking out of his mouth. Only Meta Knight noticed these changes. "This seems familiar." Meta Knight said.
Kirby dashed at Roy and scratched him with his paw. Then Kirby pounced at Roy and knocked him off. "Game!" Meta Knight knew exactly what was happening with Kirby.
Later outside by the small pond…
"Dang Roy, you put up a good fight but really took a beating." Ike said.
"Shut up Ike." Roy said.
"Pichu! Pi!" Roy picked up Pichu and petted it.
"How was your battle with Kirby?" Marth said.
"He fought a lot harder than I remember. He was really fast and attacked me with great strength. I mean, in one minute he did like, 121% damage, or that's what it felt like." Roy said.
"Hey hear comes Meta Knight." Ike said.
"Did you find anything out?" Link said.
"Yes. If Kirby's doing what I think he's doing, then we're all in trouble. Do any of you know where he is?" Meta Knight said. Everyone shook their heads.
"But Pit was supposed to follow Kirby after the matches." Marth said. As if right on cue, a blue arrow landed near them.
"By the looks of it, the arrow came from that part of the forest. Let's go." Link said.
"Wait. If Kirby's up to something then I better go. If there's any trouble, Pit will tell you." Meta Knight said and took off.
Later, in the forest…
"Kirby?" Kirby jumped and saw Meta Knight standing behind him.
"Kirby, what are you doing out here?" Meta Knight said. Kirby didn't say anything. Meta Knight walked closer and Kirby's eyes went from blue to red.
"Kirby, are you okay?" he said.
Kirby smiled evilly showing his new small fangs.
"Kirby! You must stop it now! Before it's too late!" Meta Knight said.
Kirby's face returned to normal. "I-I, I c-c-can't." Kirby said with a sorrowful look on his face.
Immediately after that Kirby grinned evilly again and his fangs were bigger. A red light flashed around Kirby and ears appeared on his head, he had short thick claws on his paws, and his eyes were blood red.
"Kirby, no! Pit! Run! Get the others!"
Kirby didn't notice what Meta Knight said or the fact that Pit was watching. Kirby leapt at Meta Knight, claws outstretched, fangs showing, and attacked Meta Knight with the fury of a wolf. Pit didn't stay to watch. He flew wards the mansion and found Link and the others.
"Pit what's wrong?" Link said.
"Kirby's gone crazy! I'll explain later, but now we have to help Meta Knight!" Pit said.
"Let's go!" Link said and they followed Pit. When they found the place where Kirby was, Meta Knight had been defeated and turned into a trophy. Link tapped the trophy stand and Meta Knight was revived.
"I'm alive?" He said.
"Well it's not like anyone can die here." Pit said.
"Kirby's power is growing by the second. We have to try to defeat him in the tournament before it's too late." Meta Knight said.
"Hey! There you guys are!"
"Sonic?"
"Hurry! Master hand has decided that round 5 start now! Come on!" Link and the others followed Sonic back to the mansion.
"Lucario Vs. Meta Knight, Link Vs. Samus, Wolf Vs. Sonic, and Kirby Vs. Pit. Those are the match ups. Now go! Hurry, hurry!" Everyone got on their platforms and round 4 began.
