Meta-Knight's Apprentice
Chapter 7: Second Encounter with Rash and a Small Story
A/N: I need to state a few things here. Joe97, this story is about Kirby in general. The story has different ideas from the games I played, not just K64. So if I do get the chance to fully beat K64, I'm sure the plot will stick. Okay, back to chappy stuff. This chapter has another good fight scene.... at least to me it did. And also you'll learn a little bit about Meta-Knight's dark past in this chapter (this is MY idea about Meta- Knight. If you disagree, don't make a hissy fit about it, because it annoys me). Read on!
Rash was sitting in his chair, staring out the window, waiting.
"I know that you'll be coming to get your precious stone back, just like all fools. So I await your arrival." Rash whispered to himself. His scythe was near by. The blade was made of a black material. He grabbed the scythe and held it expertly.
"Come, fools! I know that you can see me!" Rash stated more as he swung his scythe around.
Hydra entered the room. "What are my orders, sire?"
"Keep look out for the Halberd II. If it comes, you may fire at it." Rash replied.
"Your wish is my command........." Hydra stated, then bowed, and then left. Rash laughed evilly.
----------------------
Meta-Knight, Kirby, Chris, Regulus, and Bio Spark sat at their table. It was nightfall and the moon and stars shined so brightly. Those weren't part of the five's interest though. They were thinking of a way to get the Star Stone back.
"Perhaps we could just ram their ship with ours?" Regulus quickly blurted out.
"Are you crazy?! We'll probably get killed in the process!" Bio Spark replied.
"How about we sneak on board their ship?" Chris suggested.
"Great idea, Chris! But what ship should we go on first?" Meta- Knight asked.
"They may plan on tricking us. Let's try one of the smaller ships. They may think that we'd try to attack the bigger ship, but the stone may not be there." Bio Spark added.
"Alright then, first thing in the morning, we give that small ship a sneak attack and get our stone back!" Meta-Knight stated. Everyone went into their beds and attempted to sleep.
Chris rose from bed only 20 minutes after he went to bed. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't get the thoughts of a hot battle out of his head.
'My first major battle! I cannot wait for it! But......... I could get killed.' Chris pondered as he fixed his headband which was a bit in the wrong angle.
"What are doing up at such an hour?" Meta-Knight whispered from behind Chris.
"I cannot sleep, sire........." Chris whispered back.
Meta-Knight chuckled softly. Then Chris just noticed that Meta- Knight's mask was removed, but it was hard to tell with the darkness in the room. He could barely make out that his mask and armor were removed for the time being.
"Care to hear a story?" Meta-Knight suddenly whispered.
"Of course, sir!" Chris replied silently.
"It was about.... 10 years ago. I was about your age then. I was in battle with other Star Warriors. The plan was to take down Dark Matter's keep by a surprise attack. We thought that the plan would work. Guess how wrong I was. It ended up being that most of my comrades and friends where killed in the battle. I managed to escape the onslaught, but not without a price........." Meta-Knight revealed a long scar across his face. "It seemed that Dark Matter was ready for that one attack......... Far too many gave their lives in that battle........."
Chris could see a lone tear fall from Meta-Knight's eye. That must have been a painful memory to him. Chris stood by his side.
"Meta-Knight......... it's best to leave the past behind us." Chris stated. Chris saw Meta-Knight smile for the first time.
"I like you Chris. You're a good lad. You best get some sleep now." Meta-Knight replied. Chris nodded and went to bed and fell into a deep slumber. Meta-Knight stared across the moon. "Wherever you are, Dark Matter... I will have my revenge someday."
-------------------
Rash looked at the Yellow Star Stone on his deck. He wanted the knight he fought before to return. He loved their last fight. And he wanted to face him again, only at full power. He grabbed his scythe and waited for sunrise.
"Dark Matter, you shall rule all of Popstar." Rash stated to the stars.
Darksol came into the room. "It appears that the do-gooders aren't going to come tonight. Shall we grant the men rest?"
Rash turned to Darksol. Even though Rash was evil, he still had his fair sides. "Yes, let the men sleep."
"Yes sir." Darksol bowed and ran off to do what he was told.
"You better rest, Meta-Knight. For tomorrow, you'll need all your energy to attempt to beat me." Rash stated.
---------------------
The sun rose and Meta-Knight stretched and put on his armor and mask. Chris also awoke. Bio Spark appeared to be awake already as Kirby yawned and Regulus was still asleep.
"Get up, Regulus!" Chris yelled and pushed Regulus off the bed. Regulus sighed and put on his belt, scouter, and trench coat.
"Let's pay our fee and return to the Halberd II." Meta-Knight said and went downstairs. Meta-Knight paid the Innkeeper and the five went back to the ship.
Meta-Knight was on the bridge, issuing take-off orders and the ship flew over to Rash's battleship and.........
------------------------
"Lord Rash! The enemy is about to raid our ship! What will we do?!" a common soldier yelled in panic to Rash.
"Order the soldiers to go on deck for combat mode!" Rash ordered.
"Yessir!" The soldier saluted, then ran off.
"Meta-Knight, I'll be waiting for you........." Rash whispered as he gripped his scythe harder.
The Halberd II flew above Rash's battleship. Meta-Knight, Chris, Kirby, Regulus, and Bio Spark landed on the deck as multiple soldiers ran on the deck.
"Get them!" the soldier captain yelled. The soldiers charged at the five and heavy combat began. Meta-Knight released a yellow sword beam at one soldier, slicing him in half. Regulus drew out his pistol and claymore and slashed at one Sword Knight and shot a Sir Kibble in the distance. Chris slashed at multiple Sword Knights and Sir Kibbles, defeating them almost instantly. Bio Spark threw shirkens like a Gatling gun fires bullets and killed many Sir Kibbles and Sword Knights. Kirby sucked in a Sir Kibble, gaining the "Cutter" ability and threw a cutting blade at a Sword Knight, chopping his arm off. Sword Knights ganged on Chris and started slashing at him mercilessly, but Meta-Knight came in a slashed at two Sword Knights so Chris could escape and freeze them with his ice breathe. A Sir Kibble threw a cutting blade at Chris, but Chris pulled out his Mirror Wand a reflected the blade back at the Sir Kibble, chopping him in half. The captain told his men to retreat and they were running like crazy.
"That wasn't so hard." Regulus stated.
"Head for the bridge!" Meta-Knight ordered and they got up to the bridge, where Rash was alone with his scythe.
"I'm so glad you could make it, Meta-Knight." Rash turned to see Meta-Knight and his comrades. "Oh? You bring some more friends of yours?"
"Rash......... Let's settle this. Whoever wins gets the stone. Whoever loses leaves quietly." Meta-Knight stated.
Rash laughed. "Sounds like a deal." Rash got into a defensive stance a held his scythe with pride. "Have at it, then!" Then the fight started. Rash dashed at Chris and slashed at him with his scythe six times in a row, causing great damage to Chris. Regulus shot at Rash with his pistol. Rash took some damage. Meta-Knight stabbed Rash with his Galaxia and did great damage to Rash. Chris performed dance-like sword skills at Rash and jump kicked him in the face. Rash's bandana almost fell of from the blow. Bio Spark disappeared and reappeared behind Rash and started slashing at Rash mercilessly at his unprotected back and then jumped back over to the group of four. Rash then charged up for an attack and charged at Meta-Knight, beating on him mercilessly and sent the knight flying backward. Chris then dashed right through Rash sword first and then dashed through him again. Rash took major damage from the blow. He grabbed the stone and laughed evilly.
"If you want the stone back........." Rash stated and then threw it out the window. "..........You are just going to have to get it back!" Rash laughed more evilly and then disappeared.
Bio Spark watched as the stone flew through the sky.
"Damn it! Now we have to get the stone back AGAIN!" Meta-Knight stated and then passed out. The group of four carried Meta-Knight back onto the Halberd II and started searching for where the stone was again.
----------------------------
Whew! Long chapter! Rash appeared to retreat and threw the stone out to distract our heroes!! And Meta-Knight's unconscious! Can our heroes find the stone yet again? Review if you wish to. Find out on the next chapter. Also as a side note, I haven't had this much fun writing a story since Sonic meets Mario and Kirby!
