Epilogue

Kirby was treated to a great celebration on the largest island of the Grape Gardens peninsula. The islanders had made a memorial temple for both Gim and Blade Knight, upon which Kirby placed Blade Knight's sword. The battle that had been fought that day would not go down in history books. Metaknight only attacked Grape Gardens, which was an unimportant area of the world. Anyway, news coming from Grape Gardens travels slowly, so the islanders did not bother to tell the Coast Guard.

**************************************************************************** **

The crew of the Halberde escaped to the secret military base, and began to rebuild their forces, in case their glorious leader returned. They began arming and training each crewmember, to prepare for the battle that might lie ahead. Waddle Dee, still loyal to Metaknight, has created a crew of soldiers to search the seas for their fallen commander. This group was comprised of Waddle Dee, Tridint, Skullkor, Butch, and Sir Kibble, the only five crewmembers completely loyal to the commander.

**************************************************************************** **

As for Metaknight, his whereabouts are unknown. Metaknight is a very unflagging character, able to persevere through even the deadliest situations. Perhaps he is still alive, or perhaps he died when the Halberde sank into the ocean,

BUT IF METAKNIGHT DID NOT SINK WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE HALBERDE, HE MAY SOON RETURN TO SEEK HIS REVENGE . . .
