A/N: Now we finally reach the actual prophecy of the story. I was not happy that I failed to get more of Kirby in my story. I'll try to get the pink puffball's views in.

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters here except for Kamira.

--Chapter 11: The prophecy--

The door clicked as Knuckle Joe turned the key in the rusty key hole. It slowly opened, making a creaking sound. The group stared into the dark depths of the basement. Only a few stairs were visible before the rest disappeared into the darkness.

Knuckle Joe made a daring step forward. Turning back to the others, he raised an eyebrow.

"You're not all scaredy cats right?"

Bun, Dedede, and Escargon trembled slightly but followed the martial arts fighter. Tokori, not wanting to be thought as scared, dove in with the group.

The group finally made their way down the steps and into the basement. Bun had slipped somewhere in the darkness and he and Knuckle Joe tumbled down a few steps until they managed to get upright again. A few porthole windows let in some light from the stars but other than that, it was pitch black.

Dedede somehow managed to find a light switch in the gloom and a small lamp hanging from the ceiling illuminated the lowest level of the Halberd. There wasn't much in the basement. There was the 'junk' that Meta Knight had said, stacks and stacks of boxes and Meta Knight's starship. It resembled Kirby's gold star ship only it was a gray color. The group looked around.

"And this place is off limits? There's nothing down here!"

Bun squinted towards an object still under the cover of darkness. He walked up to it. It was a large piece of stone with drawings carved into it. The carvings depicted a two winged knights fighting each other. One had angel wings, the other had bat wings.

"If I were you, I'd leave now." A voice said behind them.

The group jumped, expecting to see Meta Knight but instead faced Kamira.

"What are you doing down here?" Dedede demanded.

Kamira shrugged.

"I was looking for Meta because he wasn't in the control room and I thought I'd find him here."

"Kamira, do you know anything about this?" Bun asked, pointing to the rock.

Kamira looked up at the stone and walked over to it. She traced the words that were engraved into the rock.

"It's in the language of the Ancients. I can't read it very well."

"The Ancients?"

"The Ancients were a group of people said to hold the wisdom of the gods. It was said that they made a prophecy that would change the course of the universe," Kamira said without taking her eyes off of the rock. "This could be the very same. I can't imagine why it would be in the Halberd though."

Kamira let her hand run over the image of the two knights.

"I think it says: The white angel and the black angel, two knights forever at war with the other. One stands for justice and hope, the other for evil. At the end of time, the stronger of the two will..."

Kamira blinked.

"I think it says that the stronger of the two will be victorious. I'm not sure."

Her hand stopped at the edge of the rock where the words were cut off. She turned back to the others.

"We'd better get out of here before Meta Knight finds out. How about this, if you don't tell him I was down here, I won't tell him any of you were here?"

The others nodded and wordlessly followed Kamira back up the stairs. She turned the light off and they returned to the main floors of the Halberd. Shutting the door and locking it, Kamira smiled.

"Be thankful I caught you guys instead of Meta!"


Kirby walked through the silent halls, tummy grumbling in want of food. The watermelon didn't help that much. Galaxia in its scabbard bounced off his side every time he took a step. It confused him, why would Meta Knight give him the sacred sword. He took another corner and nearly ran straight into the knight. Meta Knight's eyes flashed orange in surprise before returning to its gold color.

"Oh. Kirby. Is there something you need?"

Kirby shook his head. Meta Knight nodded before he walked around the pink puffball to continue his way. Kirby jumped on to his back.

"Play wid me!"

"Not now..."

Kirby held on tighter. Meta Knight sighed but beneath his mask, he smiled.

"Alright, alright. I'll let you come with me to the control room."

Kirby smiled happily as he and Meta Knight disappeared down the hall.


The group sat in the lounge along with Fumu and Sirica. The two girls looked at the guys with looks that read 'I can't believe you all!'

"You all don't respect privacy don't you?"

"Well hey; it was worth it to go down there!" Bun said, earning him a slap from his sister. "Hey! Why don't you slap them too! They pulled me into this!"

"They're not MY responsibility and YOU chose to go along with them!"

Knuckle Joe chuckled, clearly amused until Sirica gave him 'the look' and he stopped.

The intercom went on with Meta Knight's voice.

"We are now within...KIRBY! DON'T TOUCH THAT!"

The ship lurched suddenly and everyone in the lounge fell down. A few seconds later, Meta Knight continued.

"We are now within Tronjam's atmosphere." Meta Knight said, finally able to finish.

Everyone crowded around the porthole windows to get the first glimpse of Tronjam.

A/N: The entire ending of the story rests heavily on the prophecy.
