Meta-Knight's Apprentice
Chapter 5: The Long Battle and Rash's Scheme
A/N: Phew! Huge chapter! This chapter is a little more focused on the story then most of my other chapters if you ask me. Read more to learn why I think this. I'm really surprised I didn't get nasty flames for my last chapter (about the last author's note on that chapter). But yeah, onward to Chapter 5: The Long Battle and Rash's Scheme.
Meta-Knight and Chris stood side-by-side and watched the robot get closer to the group. Kirby stood his ground and Regulus loaded his pistol and aimed at the robot's head.
"What should we do, sire?" Chris asked.
"Attack it!" Meta-Knight ordered and released a beam from his blade, which threw the robot backward. Regulus ran right up front to it and slashed at it with his massive claymore. Kirby sucked up a rock and gained the "Stone" ability and jumped over the robot then turned into a rock, doing decent damage to it. The robot aimed its cannon at Meta-Knight and released a huge yellow beam. Meta-Knight took the unexpected blow and went flying backward. Chris was rather angry now and he ran at the robot, slashing it horizontally and vertically, jumping into the air, slashed at the robot again, then performed dance-like swordplay skills, and then kicked its head and went flying to where Meta-Knight was and encaged him in a protective frost barrier. Regulus fired a barrage of bullets at the robot and Kirby threw his stone power at the robot, doing great damage to it. The robot then began punching the ground rapidly; causing the ground to shake violently and parts of the ceiling fell on top of the group of heroes. Regulus blocked one huge rock with his claymore, Kirby slide out of the way of another huge stone; the frost barrier deflected one rock, but broke at contact. Meta-Knight released another sword beam at the robot and the robot began breaking apart. Kirby performed his dance and Meta-Knight, Chris, and Regulus sheathed their weapons.
"Let's get that stone!" Chris stated and ran up towards the stone. It was a pink color. Kirby looked at the stone and held it. Then he showed it to Meta-Knight.
"We got what we came here for, right? Let's get outta here!" Regulus yelled. Then the ceiling began crumbling. The group began running out of the room as gigantic rocks fell. The foursome soon enough got back on the Halberd II just in time as the cave began crumbling, never to be opened again.
"Damn, that was too close for comfort." Regulus stated to the group. The others nodded. Kirby still had the stone in hand.
"How many of these stones are there?" Meta-Knight asked.
"Legends say that each stone is the color of a different type of Kirby. That would mean that there are 5 different colors. Pink, Blue, Red, Yellow, and Purple stones should exist."
Meta-Knight nodded. "And only those of the repented color can take them, right?"
"I'd think so, sire." Chris replied.
"Alright then, report back to the bridge." Meta-Knight ordered.
Rash was in his quarters, talking to his two most trusted suburbanites. The suburbanite to his right was a Sword Knight in black and red armor. His Galaxia was the color of blood and was made of a type of a crystal. His eyes are a dark red. His name was Darksol. The suburbanite to Rash's left was a ninja with a black katana and white outfit. His name was Hydra.
"Darksol, Hydra. I'm so glad you could make it at such an hour." Rash greeted his two minions.
"It is not a problem, sir. May I ask what we were called here for?" Darksol bowed to his master as he asked his question.
"Yes, I believe we were sent here for a reason." Hydra replied.
"You two are correct. You know the true purpose of why we joined Dedede's forces, right?" Rash asked his suburbanites.
"I'm afraid not, sire." Darksol stated.
"Me ethier." Hydra replied.
Rash turned to his minions and closed his eyes. "We were sent here by Dark Matter to find not only the Star Stones, but for the blade made of the material as Dark Matter. This blade is what is known as the 'Shadow Sword'. That sword is the lone thing that can revive Dark Matter."
Darksol nodded. "Of course, only our lord and master would ask you for such a task."
If he had a mouth, Rash would have smirked. "I'm glad you understand. Not a word of this to that fool Dedede, alright?"
Darksol and Hydra kneeled before Rash. "Your wish is my command."
Rash laughed evilly. "Good. I'm counting on you two to get those stones and blade for me."

"Sir Meta-Knight! I'm getting high mystical energy signal from Ice Cream Island!" Meta-Lance yelled to Meta-Knight.
"Head towards Ice Cream Island." Meta-Knight ordered.
"You heard him! Go to Ice Cream Island!" Colonel Dee ordered towards the crew. The group then headed towards Ice Cream Island. Only to run into a fleet of armored ships.
"Whose ships are those?!" Meta-Knight yelled towards his crew. Meta- Axe looked at his scanner.
Meta-Axe gasped. "Those are Dedede's ships, sire!"
"What?!?!" Meta-Knight yelled. "Avoid them if we can! If they fire at us, fire back! We don't have time for him!"
"Yessir!" The crew replied and began moving the ship away from Dedede. Dedede fired his cannons at the Halberd II. The Halberd II fired all of its cannons at Dedede's warship.
"Sir! The armor's too strong! We can't even scratch it!" Meta- Chain yelled to Meta-Knight.
"Ready the Halberd Cannon! If that don't stop him, retreat." Meta- Knight ordered. A large harpoon looking cannon from the hull of the ship opened up and was taking aim at the center of Dedede's ship.
"Fire the Halberd Cannon!" Meta-Chain yelled and pressed a button. The harpoon of the cannon went right through Dedede's warship with ease. The harpoon came back into the cannon. Dedede's fleet began backing off and flying elsewhere.
"Sire! Dedede's ships are flying away! We beat 'em!" Meta-Lance yelled in triumph. Colonel Dee began dancing around as the others said their congratulations. They soon enough went back to work and headed towards Ice Cream Island.
On the deck, Bio Spark looked at Ice Cream Island. The wind blew some of his ninja outfit in the wind. Meta-Knight came up to Bio Spark.
"What's the matter Bio Spark?" Meta-Knight asked.
"Well, I've been thinking..." Bio Spark replied.
"About what?" Meta-Knight asked.
"If we'll be able to get these Star Stones." Bio Spark stated.
"I wouldn't worry about that." Meta-Knight replied. "We'll be at Ice Cream Island shortly."
Meta-Knight turned to head back to the bridge. "Wait........."
Meta-Knight turned towards Bio Spark. "Yes?"
"May I accompany you?" Bio Spark asked.
"Of course you can, Bio Spark! We never know when we need an excellent ninja like you." Meta-Knight replied.
"Thank you for the kind words, sir." Bio Spark drew out his katana and looked at his pack of shirkens. The pack was full. "I know that we can tackle anything as a team, sir!"
