Kirby's POV
Since Meira became too hurt to leave bed, we all got really scared. We didn't want her to die. Everyone here loves her. I don't think she knows that. She kept saying she wasn't going to make it, no matter how much food and face-to-face we gave her. She slept more and more each day. After a day and a half, King Dedede gave up on her, sobbing as he left the room. When nearly everyone gave up hope for our warrior from another home, Meta Knight, Tiff and I were there for her. Every now and then Marx would pop in through the window and taunt us, once mentioning she would 'never be satisfied with Meta Knight'. I had no idea what he meant by that, and we didn't give him a chance to explain.
Yesterday she said she felt funny, like someone had injected her with something while she was sleeping.
King Dedede kicked me out of the castle. Somewhere along the way back to my house I saw Marx Soul. Meira was with him! I ran over to him and fought him, trying to save her. He kept swatting me away as if I was powerless, and Meira wasn't strong enough to fight him on her own. I took a wrong step and got frozen with and Ice Bomb. Meira struggled less and less in his claws. Meira eventually stopped moving. I finally broke free from my ice prison and went after him, but her teleported away, taking Meira with her. She's done for. There's nothing we can do now.
I heard soft footsteps rush my way, and as I looked up, Meira swept me up into her arms, comforting me.
"You're alive!" I tried to say, but it came out as "Poyo!" like everything else.
"That's right, sweetie!" Meira said. Her voice made my tears go away. "I tricked Marx with a look-alike. Somehow there was another me, from a different place, and somehow she knew I was in danger. Pretty cool, right? Marx got what he wanted, and I'm still breathing. Everyone wins!"
I noticed Meira was different now. She was covered in purple armor, like Meta Knight. She never had that before. Maybe the other Meira gave it to her. She's protected now, and that's great, but girls in armor don't give the best hugs.
