This is going to be the last chapter I post for this story for awhile. This is because I'm working on posting another story, and I really haven't been feeling like posting more. Don't worry, I won't abandon this story.

A quick warning that this chapter does contain some abuse.

Enjoy.

~ Chapter 10: Captured ~

"What is that?" asked a Cappy as several villagers started gathering up, looking at the huge object hanging in the sky. It was like nothing they've seen before. It was hovering like a ship, but it wasn't a ship. Half of it was in the shaped of an outlined half heart. The other side was in the shape of an outlined half star. Spikes covered the heart shaped side. The star side shined like a gem. This strange object drew closer to them.

"Gah! Someone get Meta Knight and Kirby!" one of them shouted.

Meta Knight, Kirby, Fumu, Bun, Blade Knight, Sword Knight, Rick, and Ribbon all ran quickly to the fields. They gasped as they saw the black aura object spark in the sky.

"Meta Knight, do you know what that is?" asked Fumu.

"Yes.. it is Disaster Star. The combined form of Fate and Harmony Star."

The Disaster Star was about half the size of Meta Knight's Halberd ship. Standing on the Disaster Star's edge was Erik and Lucilia laughing.

"We finally have the two jewels together. However, we have one thing missing.." Erik looked down at the Cappies, searching for who might by the pure hearted person. He jumped down, and one by one he started picking up Cappies and thrusting his arm into their hearts.

"Hmm.. that one's not it." he dropped a Cappy who was in pain.

Meta Knight in anger, stood up to him.

"Stop this at once!" he shouted, "you foolish kid, you don't think we can't fight you back?" he drew out his sword.

"Don't make me laugh. Your sword is nothing compared to the power I have." he held out his hands looking for his next target. He then spotted Ribbon who was at this point, pretty freaked out.

"Well, hello there. Don't move honey, this will just hurt a bit," he smiled and reached out for her heart. Kirby in shock, saw he was going after Ribbon. He jumped and pushed Erik away, protecting Ribbon.

"Kirby..?" she whispered.

"Oh, so I see. You want to protect your little girlfriend." said Erik.

Fumu looked at Erik angry. She stamped her foot in a stubborn way.

"She's not his girlfriend!" she huffed. Erik only laughed.

"Okay, then. Well I guess the fairy is up for grabs. Watch everyone, and observe what the Distaster Star can do." Erik lifted his hands up, black aura surrounding them. An earthquake shook the entire fields, everyone screaming. Nobody could notice the bright flash in the sky, they could only worry about what Erik could be doing. Below the Disaster Star, a dark ship began forming. It was even bigger than Meta Knight's Halberd, iron plates covering it. The Disaster Star lifted in the air as it formed, and once finished, it landed on the very top of the ship. This large ship began hovering even higher into the air, drifting away from Cappy Town.

"Introducing Disaster Star 2.0," he said, "and now, to claim my prize." he raised one of his hands, dark aura blasting at Kirby. He was sent flying into a near by tree.

"No, Kirby!" cried Fumu.

Erik smirked and grabbed a hold of Ribbon by the waist.

"Hey, put me down!!" she shouted. Meta Knight attempted to hit Erik several times with his sword, but failed from Erik's Dark magic-like shield. Erik gripping Ribbon tightly, flew to the Disaster Star 2.0 laughing.

Kirby, barely getting up, ran back to the group.

"No! Ribbon!" he shouted. He looked up at the sky, sad, but pretty soon turned very angry. He turned around to Meta Knight.

"Get the Halberd," he said, "now."

Meta Knight nodded. He told all the Cappies and citizens who were assigned for the war to get ready and be armed. Him, Blade Knight, and Sword Knight rushed to where they kept the Halberd, eager to fly off to reach the Disaster Star.

This was it. Thought Kirby. Once he obtained Ribbon again, he would tell her how he felt. That was his plan. He wasn't sure, however, what he was going to do about Fumu. Of course, there are tons of citizens of Cappy Town who would love to date her. Even his friends wanted to. The only thing was he was afraid of breaking her heart, or her to be angry and would never want to talk to him again. He was sure this would happen, she was so attached to him.

"Erik, prepare to be defeated!"

Knuckle Joe was walking away from the castle, looking down. He felt so bad for letting everyone down, he was actually afraid to show his face to the entire village.

"Her home town was attacked.. how could I fall for such a cheesy story!" he suddenly looked up at the sky and saw a big dark figure. He rushed to see a far away Disaster Star 2.0. In curiosity, he decided to follow this ship. He wasn't really wanted in Cappy Town at the moment anyways, right?

Erik lunged his hand into Ribbon's heart, digging through her thoughts and memories while she was in pain.

He dug through some of her past moments together with other fairies, when she traveled around picking flowers, nothing special. Then he dug deeper, and discovered something he did not want to see.

After beating 02, a celebration was held inside the princess's castle. A very young Ribbon leaned down to kiss Kirby on the cheek.

Angry, Erik punched Ribbon in the face, making her fall and hit the wall. The ribbon on her head which was covered in blood by the time the abuse was over, barely became loose from her hair. Struggling from her tears, she didn't notice the withdrawal of her ribbon until Erik grabbed it from the ground. Ribbon got up and wiped the blood off her face.

"Give it back you jerk!"

"Not after I knew that you kissed Kirby."

Ribbon looked at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about? I never kissed Kirby. How do you know his name?"

"Don't act stupid. I dug into your heart. I know you kissed him those several years ago.

What? She thought. How could this be true?

Erik smirked and dropped the bloody ribbon out of the ship's door. It blew out of sight to the grounds of Dream Land.

The sun began setting. Well, the sun wasn't there, but that's what the sky looked like. Knuckle Joe walked along the path through the grassy fields, a little more healthy looking since the Disaster Star 2.0 left. He was pretty much out of Cappy Town and was just wondering around the direction the Disaster Star 2.0 went since he was bored.

Something cought his attention on a bush. There was a very dark red ribbon laying on it. As he got a closer look, he noticed the dark red was actually blood. He examined it, and as a matter of fact, recognized it. It looked strangely a lot like Ribbon's that she wore on her head.

"What is this?" asked Meta Knight as the bloody ribbon was shown in front of him.

"I found it on a bush.." Knuckle Joe said showing it to him, still nervous about talking to him.

"A bush?" he gazed at the blood on it and took out the heart tracking device. The device began making loud noises, the arrow pointing to the very right. Meta Knight looked shocked.

"Oh no.. the one with the pure heart. It's Ribbon."
