Chapter 9
Ben's POV:
We returned to where the ship was, Kevin, Gwen, Dedede, and Ribbon looked exhausted. "I take that your hypothesis on Mister. Levin not listening to Kirby's warning was correct, right Ben?" Meta Knight said with a nervous chuckle, trying to cheer me up, but I paid no attention.
"Where is the little puff ball any way?" Dedede ask curiously. Meta Knight explained the events that took place in the cave of how he offered to take my place in Dark Matter's plan. I watched as the group's look of exhaustion slowly turned to looks of dread and greave similar to mine. Ribbon looked the most fearful, Perhaps they were really close friends.
My mind was racing all sorts of thoughts through my head, I shouldn't of come along, if I stayed behind I wouldn't be put in danger and Kirby wouldn't have had to do this, it's all my fault that he let him self get captured, it should have been me, I deserved it.
Either I really am that predictable, or Meta Knight has the ability to read minds, he turned to face me " 'one life or millions of other's' it is the choice we make as Starwarriors each and every day, nobody understood that topic better then Kirby, you shouldn't blame your self for Dark Matter's deeds." He said in a comforting tone, it was clear that he saw Kirby as a son he never had.
Again this sent me deep in thought as I looked into the rest of the group's faces, it didn't take me that long to make up my mind on what to do next. "Ribbon you helped Kirby fight Dark Matter, do you have any ideas where he's taking him?" I ask as my look and thoughts turned from sorrow, to determination. "Probably back to planet Darkstar, it's not to far from my home planet, why?" Ribbon responded.
"Because this search just became a rescue mission, Kirby always risked his life for us when we needed it, it's time we all returned him a long owed favor." I answered turning my attention to the rest of the group. They all either jumped for excitement, or nodded in agreement. After Ribbon gave Kevin the exact coordinates, we were headed off to Darkstar.
