Darkness Unleashed
Chapter Ten: To the Death?
The deserts of Rock Star are known to be dangerous and big, but the scattered rocks will provide excellent cover and places to hop to, if surrounded by quicksand. But within the sands lie something secret. Even maybe something dangerous…
"You shall die!" Dark Meta Knight screamed.
With a snap of his fingers, the four were teleported to a poorly lit chamber.
"What the-?" Kirby said, looking around.
"Master gave me great powers, and those powers will not fail!" Dark Meta Knight shouted, lunging at Kirby.
Kirby dodged as he ate the crystal to turn into Light Kirby, and the Warp Star for safe keeping.
"Your filthy tricks will not work against my might!" Dark Meta Knight said, creating a barrier of darkness around him.
Scythe handed a katana to Kirby, who attempted to slash Dark Meta Knight.
Dark Meta Knight dodged, and then hit Kirby in the back, knocking him to the side.
"DIE!" Dark Meta Knight screamed, approaching for the final blow.
"NOOO!" Scythe screamed, holding his katana out in the way.
"What!?" Dark Meta Knight said, noticing that his sword was blocked by the one of Scythe.
"You will not kill him!" Scythe screamed, forcing back Dark Meta Knight's sword.
"Cheating now, eh? And just as well it's a Shadow Minion who's trying to kill me!!!" Dark Meta Knight said, chuckling.
Kirby stood up again, drawing his sword.
"Kirby, tell this moron to get off me, or I'll get him off myself!" Dark Meta Knight said.
"Why aren't you going to kill him anyway?" Kirby asked, stepping towards Dark Meta Knight.
"A promise is a promise! One on one, and to the death! Unless you want me to kill him," Dark Meta Knight said, laughing and jabbing at Kirby.
Kirby dodged, and shot a beam of light at Dark Meta Knight.
Dark Meta Knight quickly moved out of the way, and reflected the beam.
Kirby reflected the beam back with his shield.
"Hmph!" Dark Meta Knight grunted, absorbing the beam in his sword.
"What the-?" Kirby said, looking at the flashing sword.
"YAH!" Dark Meta Knight screamed, shooting a beam of darkness at Kirby.
Kirby was still frozen in shock, and was hit dead on.
"No!" Gooey screamed, reaching his tongue out at Dark Meta Knight, who dodged.
"If you're going to cheat, I can too!" Dark Meta Knight said, creating giant dark one-eyed monsters all around.
"What!? NO!" Scythe said, slashing all the monsters into pieces.
"Urgh… fine!" Dark Meta Knight said, teleporting Gooey and Scythe out of the chamber.
"Now… the one on one showdown… mono e mono…" Dark Meta Knight said, raising his sword.
"Wha-?" Kirby said, standing up from the blow.
"YAH!" Dark Meta Knight screamed, slashing at Kirby.
"Whoa!" Kirby said, blocking.
"Scoundrel! If you cheat, I cheat!" Dark Meta Knight said, creating more dark one-eyed monsters.
"At least I have some protection!" Kirby said, releasing a super nova of light in the chamber, destroying all the monsters except for Dark Meta Knight.
"Weakling!" Dark Meta Knight said, shooting a beam of darkness at Kirby using his sword.
Kirby reflected the beam using his shield.
Dark Meta Knight absorbed the beam again, and planted his sword in the ground.
"And what is that supposed to do?" Kirby sneered.
Suddenly, an explosion of darkness blasted out of the sword sending everything-even Dark Meta Knight tumbling around.
Dark Meta Knight quickly got back to his sword, and knocked Kirby out.
Dark Meta Knight paused for a moment, snickered, and then took out a walkie-talkie.
"Sir! He's dead!" Dark Meta Knight said into the walkie-talkie.
"No- He's just unconscious. Don't worry about killing him. The monsters can finish him off!" a voice said.
"Okay…" Dark Meta Knight said, teleporting Kirby to another dungeon.
"Now you get out of here," the voice said.
"What if the monsters fail?" Dark Meta Knight asked.
"They won't. I'll insert the other monsters in case," the voice said.
"Okay, but where do I go?" Dark Meta Knight asked.
"Back to Dark Pop Star. Go on, then!" the voice said.
"The monsters, though. They aren't under our control! What if they rebel?" Dark Meta Knight said.
"Then the other monsters can kill him!!!" the voice said.
"But what if-?" Dark Meta Knight asked.
"He won't," the voice said.
"Okay. Confirmed," Dark Meta Knight said.
With Scythe and Gooey…
"Where'd Kirby go?" Scythe asked.
"And where are we?" Gooey asked.
"A desert in the middle of nowhere!" Scythe said.
"Probably in Rock Star!" Gooey said.
"Did you say Rock Star?" Scythe asked.
"Yes…" Gooey said.
"Well, there's something hidden here," Scythe said.
"And how do you know of this?" Gooey asked.
"Dark Matter told me. And that means Kirby is in danger…"
