Meta-Knight's Apprentice
Chapter 1: Training Day and some Surprises
A/N: Ah, chapter 1 is now up and ready. This chapter is much longer compared to the prologue! Anyway, read and enjoy!
The sun rose on the west side of the beach, right near Chris's window. Chris woke up, then remembered that today was the day Meta-Knight would teach him swordplay! Chris put on his headband and strapped his sword to his back and walked out of his room. Multiple Meta-Axes were sleeping on duty. Chris chuckled at this sight. The Meta-Axes slept in one big bundle. Stack after stack Meta-Axes laid on top of each other. Chris went over to a Meta-Lance, told him what he was gonna do, then he went out on the beach for an early walk.
Meta-Knight arose from his bed; he carried his mask, mantle, sword, and put on his armor as he walked outside. Some of the soldiers walking around were surprised that Meta-Knight didn't put on his mask. He looked a lot like Kirby, only blue! Meta-Knight put his mask right in front of his soldiers. The soldiers gave their greetings to their leader then went off to do what their supposed to do. He went over to a Meta-Lance.
"Did Chris leave his room?" Meta-Knight asked.
"Yes, sir. He went outside on the beach for an early walk." Meta- Lance replied.
"OK then, thanks." said Meta-Knight and he went outside to find Chris standing on the beach on the water, looking across Orange Ocean.
"Hey there!" Meta-Knight called and he walked over to Chris. Chris looked back and smiled. Meta-Knight couldn't tell if it was a smirk or not, but he didn't mind nonetheless. He was used to it.
"Hey!" Chris called back.
"Remember that today's the day I teach you swordplay?" Meta-Knight asked.
"Of course, sir." Chris laughed softly.
Meta-Knight drew out his crimson sword. Chris drew out his double edged, sky blue sword with a yellow hilt. Meta-Knight slashed first, but Chris blocked it easily. Chris charged at Meta-Knight with tremendous speed, but Meta-Knight dodged it and whacked him with the flat of his blade. Chris fell down on his face, but Chris got back on his feet and jumped down at Meta-Knight, Meta-Knight deflected the blade with his sword and Chris landed on his feet. Chris slashed, but Meta-Knight locked the blade. Meta-Knight was surprised at how strong Chris's saber was. It was nearly as strong as his, if not nearly just as strong. Meta-Knight then kicked Chris's stomach and Chris fell back. Meta-Knight jumped at Chris, but Chris rolled to the side and whacked Meta-Knight's back with the flat of his sword. Meta-Knight felled face-first into the sand, but Meta-Knight got back up and released a sword beam from his blade. Chris took the unexpected blow and fell back, releasing his sword. Meta-Knight went on over to him, and offered his hand. Chris took it and got back on his feet, although feeling a bit dizzy from the sword beam. Meta-Knight pulled out the sword from the sand and looked at the shinny sky blue blade.
"This is a mighty fine blade. Where'd you get it?" Meta-Knight asked.
"I found it on a mountain while riding my Shadow Star, sir." Chris replied.
Meta-Knight gave Chris his sword back. "It's a powerful as mine. Make sure nothing gets it. Also, you're a fine swordsman"
Chris nodded. "Thank you, sir."
"Come back to the castle. I think you need something for breakfast." Meta-Knight offered.
Chris smiled at the sound of breakfast. "Of course, sir."
The two got inside the castle and into the dining room. Meta-Chains with aprons and chef hats ran around, carrying freshly made food. Chris could tell that this was the busiest section in the whole castle. Meta- Lance and Meta-Axes pushed and shoved each other for food. Sometimes, they even used weapons it got so bad. Chris had no idea how he was going to get his food without get pushed around.
"Stay next to me." Meta-Knight whispered as if he knew what Chris was thinking. Chris nodded. Meta-Knight walked over to the all-you-can- eat table with Chris following, everyone in front of them moved out of the way so their leader and their guest could walk by. Meta-Knight got himself some buttered toast, some pork, and an apple. Chris got just about some of everything there. Meta-Knight chuckled at Chris as he carried his big plate of food, hoping not to trip and fall. Soon enough, a pink version of Chris ran inside the dining area.
A Meta-Chef (Meta-Chain with apron and chef hat) saw this and screamed "OUTTA THE WAY!!! KIRBY'S HERE!!!!" Soon enough, all except one Meta-Chain got out of Kirby's way. The Meta-Chain got ran over by Kirby and he grabbed as much food as he can, possibly 5 plates full, and walked over to Meta-Knight and Chris. Meta-Knight and Chris laughed from the whole scene but stopped when Kirby came over.
"Hi, Meda!" Kirby greeted to Meta-Knight. He wore the black amulet that Clawz gave him (again, read Sonic meets Mario and Kirby in the Sonic section). Kirby looked at Chris, thinking if he knew him.
"I'm Chris, pleased to meet ya." Chris greeted.
"I'm Kirby, pleased to meet you." Kirby replied.
"Why are you here anyway Kirby other than scaring my men and taking a lot of my chefs' food?" Meta-Knight asked.
"Happy Birthday, Meda!!!" Kirby happily stated. Chris could have sworn that Meta-Knight jumped from hearing this announcement. Chris chuckled to himself.
"How did you know?!?" Meta-Knight demanded.
"Just did. Wanna come over my house to celebrate?" Kirby offered.
"I guess..." Meta-Knight grumbled. Kirby smiled.
"OK then, let's go!!" Kirby gabled all of his food in a mere 5 seconds and went outside. Meta-Knight and Chris also went outside when they finished eating.
"I didn't know that today was your birthday..." Chris stated.
"You didn't for a reason." Meta-Knight replied then made his wings appear.
"Can I accompany you, sir?" Chris asked.
"You may." Meta-Knight answered.
Chris got on his Shadow Star and Kirby got on his Warpstar. The three began flying in the air. Chris and Kirby were racing each other. Meta-Knight watched them fly and smiled under his mask.
"Sir, I see something on the ground moving. Should we investigate?" Chris asked.
"Yes, we should." Meta-Knight replied and the threesome flew down and landed on a cliff.
"Wheelie Pirates." Meta-Knight said while observing the ground below.
"What are they, sir?" Chris asked.
"Some new cavalry unit made from Dedede that rob people's stuff, especially money and weapons." Meta-Knight replied.
"I see..." stated Chris. "Should we stop them?"
"I don't see why not. It is my birthday after all." Meta-Knight replied and the two went down, Kirby followed them.
"Count me in!" Kirby yelled to them.
"Umm... Rash?" said a Waddle Dee with a cutlass driving a Wheelie bike.
"What do you want?" yelled a Waddle Dee wearing a black bandana around his head and carrying a battle axe. He was riding a black Wheelie bike.
"There's enemies approaching sir. Should we remove them?" the subordinate offered.
"Yes." Rash replied, he turned around to see who was coming. Meta- Knight, Kirby, and Chris were approaching them.
Meta-Knight looked at the group of pirates. Only 5 of them. "OK guys, let's get ready for battle."
A battle is about to start! Who'll win, Meta-Knight and friends, or Rash's ground pirates? You'll learn soon enough in the next chapter! See ya later! (disappears)
