Chapter 11
"I know that you're with Meta Knight" a cold voice said. "What does it matter who I'm with and what I'm doing?" she asked the voice. "Because you belong to me, and you always will weather you like it or not," it replied. A few moments of silence greeted her with an uncomfortable presence. She was about to start another comment when the voice said evilly "You will come back to me no matter what happens. You will always belong here with me, so come back to me. Someone misses you very much and would love for you to return from this ridiculous planet. You can even take Meta Knight with you. I'm sure that he would be very helpful to me…" "I will never come back to you! I don't belong in that hell hole and I will not let Meta Knight get caught up in this!" she spat back at the voice with great anger.
"Oh, but you will. One way or another you will return, and when you do I'll make sure that I don't let you out of my sight again," the voice finished and adding a chilling laugh at the end that echoed throughout her mind. It chilled her blood and made her shiver on the inside. Suddenly an image flashed through her mind. It showed her killing innocent people, not even sparing the children. Their faces were engulfed in a river of blood. A face appeared from within the river and jumped at her. She recognized this face, the one that also tormented her mind along with many others.
Kaitlyn suddenly woke up with adrenaline running through her veins. She quickly scanned the room and waited for a second, waiting to see if she was under attack. She found that she was in no danger. She realized that there was someone missing. Meta Knight was missing from her side. She called his name a few times and began to panic. She jumped up and started frantically looking for him. She yelled his name and prayed to God that he would answer. Tears started to form in her eyes, and eventually made a path down her face. Just as she was about to unfurl her wings and go looking for him outside the cave, he entered the small cave with a graceful flap of his bat-like wings. He tilted his head to the side for a moment. He noticed the tears running down her face and quickly asked "What happened?"
She smiled and fell to her knees relieved that he was okay. He hurried over to her side and asked again "what happened?" She shook her head and said happily "I'm just glad that you're okay." Meta Knight was absolutely confused. "I-I heard Nightmare in my head. He told me that he was going to take me back. He said that he might even come for you…" she said looking at him. "Why are you so concerned for me," he asked with mixed emotions. This had been one of the few times that someone was actually concerned about him. He didn't know how to react so he stood there in shock and waited patiently for her response.
"I promised myself a long time ago that if I managed to escape from Nightmare and found a planet to live on, I wouldn't let anyone else get involved. I couldn't live with myself if anyone got caught up in my mistake. That's why I was freaking out when I couldn't find you just a few moments ago,' she finished. "I think it's time I told you something a while ago. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to, but I can see that now I should," Meta Knight said with regret in his voice. Kaitlyn tilted her head and wondered what he could have possibly meant. "Let's find a more suitable area to talk, and possibly find some food," he continued. Kaitlyn nodded in agreement.
The pair unfurled their wings and set out for a more suitable area to talk. They flew for a while until Meta Knight pointed out a small clear area in the middle of Whispy Woods. The woods was a very abundant area where many sources of food grew. It was most famous for its delicious red apples that Whispy himself grew from his branches. Kaitlyn and Meta Knight landed and scanned the area like usual and found that it was a peaceful area with little distractions. The clear area was beside a small creek, which was an extra bonus. "I hope that no one will find us," Kaitlyn said as she walked over to the creek to get a drink of water. "I very highly doubt that a person would venture this far into Whispy Woods," Meta Knight replied watching her. "You never know," she said with a wink. Meta Knight rolled his eyes.
"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Kaitlyn asked. Meta Knight took a deep breath and spread his wings. "I was crea—"he was suddenly cut off by something small whizzing by in between the two. The piece struck the tree to the left of them. Meta Knight and Kaitlyn both turned their heads toward the tree at the same time. They looked back at each other, and Kaitlyn shrugged in confusion. She walked over to the tree and dislodged the piece from the trunk of the lush tree. She held it in her hand for a few moments, and then froze. Meta Knight tilted his head and walked over. Kaitlyn had no emotion on her face at all, and it seemed that the color had drained form her face as well. Meta Knight carefully took the dark piece from her hand and inspected. He felt his heart drop as he recognized it, and he knew it well.
The dark piece was a flattened disk like piece of metal. It had spikes on the sides that were sharpened, sharp enough to slice through even the toughest material or armor. This piece of metal was a shuriken. It was black and was perfectly polished, so much that the sun could be seen on the surface like a mirror. Meta Knight slightly looked up, knowing that the two were not alone. He swallowed his fear and faced the direction in which the shuriken appeared from. Kaitlyn was still standing in total shock. "W-we need to get out of here" Kaitlyn said silently. Meta Knight barely hear her because some bushes started to rustle. Out of the bushes came a small figure with blood red eyes. It was a small ninja with a wide sword on its back. It was wearing the classic wooden sandals with light armor. All of which was black. It also had a long golden plate across its forehead and a high ponytail. A small scar could be seen across its right eye. It calmly walking into the clearing with its arms crossed.
"Are you two going to play nice?" it said playfully while slightly tilting its head with a hidden smile. Kaitlyn and Meta Knight both snapped out of their confusion and turned and ran. They both took off in the opposite direction of the ninja, only to be blocked off again by another unwelcome guest. Out of the opposite side of the clearing was a great, pure black dragon. It had a long and skinny neck that was completely covered in protective scales. It was about the size of most of the large trees surrounding it. It had red eyes just like the ninja had, who was patiently waiting. The dragon screeched and flapped its wings, causing Meta Knight and Kaitlyn to back up. The ninja laughed and whistled to the dragon. The dragon in return perked up its ears and walked over to him as if it was a dog.
Kaitlyn unsheathed her katana and waited. Meta Knight glanced over at her and did the same. He unsheathed Galaxia and waited as the electricity formed the golden spiked blade. "Ah. I missed that sound. How long has it been since we last saw each other?" the ninja said not looking away from Meta Knight. "When you betrayed the GSA and joined that bastard Nightmare…" Meta Knight replied with his eyes turning red. Kaitlyn looked at Meta Knight sensing his hatred. "How could you?! You killed your own men!" he shouted at the ninja and gripping his sword tightly. Kaitlyn looked at Meta Knight, and then back at the ninja. He was a traitor…? But how could someone betray their own kind? Kaitlyn thought to herself.
"You know what I used to say Meta. I pick the stronger side of the battle, and let's face it that pitiful GSA was looking pretty pathetic," the ninja said looking rather board. "You bastard!" Meta Knight yelled as he lunged for him. Kaitlyn took a step forward, but was intercepted by the dragon. Kaitlyn gritted her teeth and sighed angrily. She knew that the dragon would end up facing her. It was strange she seemed to remember this particular dragon, almost as if she had faced it before. She shook this random thought out of her head, she had to kill this dragon and fast. The faster the dragon was dead the sooner she could help out Meta Knight and kill the ninja.
Kaitlyn took a deep breath and relaxed. She had remembered her recent training with Meta Knight and took the basic stance. She took a deep breath and relaxed. She knew that if she tensed up, her movements would become stiff and sloppy. She cleared all of the random thoughts out of her mind and focused on the fight. She took another deep breath and felt her frantic heart beats slow down. She focused on the feeling of her blade, making it an extension of her own arm. The sword became lighter and easier to handle, almost as if it wasn't there at all. He opened her eyes to see the dragon watching her curiously. She blocked out every little thing in her mind and focused on the dragon. She could almost hear the heart beat of it. She heard the occasional strikes of the other fight going on, but she had to ignore it. She knew that if she was distracted even for a half of a second, she could be killed on the spot.
