Meta-Knight's Apprentice
Chapter 8: The Search for the Yellow Stone
A/N: Ehhh.... This chapter isn't quite as good as the other ones. However, the next chapter, I assure you, will be most impressive. Anyways, onward to Chapter 8: The Search for the Yellow Stone!
---------------------------
The unconscious Meta-Knight lied in bed, in his head was a dream, or a return of a nightmare. He saw the battle against Nightmare and all his comrades getting slain. Then in his head, a cloaked figure with a scythe came up to Meta-Knight and was about to slash at Meta-Knight's face. Meta- Knight quickly opened his eyes to see a bright light. He was in his room, mask still equipped. He looked around the room, but Chris was nowhere in sight! Meta-Knight got out of bed, put on his armor, and ran outside to see Chris only on deck. Chris turned towards Meta-Knight.
"You should be getting more rest, sir." Chris advised Meta-Knight. But the veteran only shook his head.
"I had a dream. It showed you with a black cutlass about to kill your superior." Meta-Knight told Chris. Chris looked shocked.
"You know that I'd never do that to you, sire!" Chris replied.
"I know. So I'm wondering if this is a vision or not." Meta-Knight stated.
The two were interrupted by Colonel Dee who ran out of the bridge. "Lord Meta-Knight! High mystical energy was found near Ice Cream Island! In the ocean!"
"Head towards it!" Meta-Knight ordered.
"One problem, sir. This ship will sink if it enters water and the water's about half the length of the ship. We're gonna have to send divers to get the stone back." Colonel Dee replied.
"I'll volunteer to get it, Meta-Knight!" Chris stated.
"Bring Kirby with you. One Dreamlander can not get it alone." Meta- Knight replied.
Chris nodded and Kirby was already in his scuba gear. Chris put on a visor and the two jumped into the water. Kirby pulled out a flashlight and the duo began looking for their stone.
---------
"Rash! How could you possibly lose the stone?!" Dedede yelled.
"I apologize, your majesty. The do-gooders ambushed me and we're more powerful than expected. I won't let it happen again." Rash replied.
"T.A.C. and Slaz! I want you two to get me my stone, got it?!" Dedede ordered the two treasure hunters.
"Right away!" T.A.C. replied and the two treasure hunters ran off.
T.A.C. and Slaz ran over to a smaller ship and went off towards the ocean. The ship put on its windshield and dove into the ocean.
----------
Kirby waved the flashlight around, trying to locate the stone. Then he saw it near a coral reef. Kirby swam over to it, but Chris followed. All of a sudden, a giant shark came over and attempted to eat Kirby! Chris drew out his sword and stabbed the shark and it ran away. Then a whole bunch of sharks came over to their soon-to-be snacks. Kirby grabbed the Yellow Stone and the two Dreamlanders began swimming away. The sharks chased after then with much greater speed. Chris slashed at a nearby shark and it fell to the ground. Another tackled Kirby, causing him to let go of the stone. Chris grabbed the stone and Kirby and then began swimming further away from the sharks. Chris and Kirby swam for the surface but a shark grabbed Chris and his goggles fell off and Chris began to drown. Kirby swallowed a coral reef, gaining the stone ability and turned into a rock and hit the shark. Chris was free and he and Kirby swam back to the surface where the Halberd II awaited them. Bio Spark was on deck and threw the two a rope and Kirby grabbed it while he held Chris and the stone in his mouth and began climbing back up as Bio Spark pulled it. Kirby was on the deck and placed Chris on the deck and spit out the stone onto the floor. Regulus cleaned the stone and placed it into the treasury room. Chris coughed out seawater and took off his headband to get the water out of it. Meta-Knight went over to the two.
"We got ourselves three of the five stones. Our quest is almost over!" Meta-Knight stated to the crew. Kirby and Chris did their victory dance and Meta-Knight smiled under his mask. Meta-Chain ran over to Meta- Knight.
"Sir! An unidentified object is right under our ship!" Meta-Chain stated to Meta-Knight.
"Find out as much as you can about this object ASAP!" Meta-Knight ordered.
"Yessir!" Meta-Chain saluted then ran off to perform his duties.
-----------
T.A.C. and Slaz snuck onboard the Halberd II and were found in the Armory. They got out onto the deck and saw the enemy. Slaz pulled out his shotgun, but T.A.C. stopped him.
"Don't fire you fool! We have to get our stones then get the hell outta here!" T.A.C. whispered to Slaz. Slaz nodded and put his shotgun back.
The two treasure hunters went inside the Treasury room, only to see Regulus there already. Regulus turned and pulled out his pistol and shot Slaz's arm. The gunshot and Slaz's scream made the whole ship aware that someone's on board the ship! Chris ran in and whacked T.A.C. with the flat of his blade. Chris tied up Slaz and T.A.C. up to a steel box. Meta- Knight unsheathed Galaxia and pointed it towards the two.
"What are you two doing on MY ship?!" Meta-Knight demanded.
"N-Nothing!" T.A.C. replied scared.
"Bullshit! I want an answer right now! Why are you on my ship?!" Meta-Knight yelled with more force.
"We work for Dedede!" Slaz quickly stated. "He ordered us to steal your stones! Don't kill me!"
Meta-Knight sheathed Galaxia. "Tell Dedede that he'll get the stones over my dead body!" And Meta-Knight threw the two overboard. T.A.C. and Slaz got on their ship flew back to Dedede's ship rather quickly.
"Are you sure that was a good idea, sir?" Chris asked Meta-Knight.
"Don't worry about that. Let's hurry and find the last stone." Meta- Knight replied and everyone went back to the bridge.

This was a rather boring chapter, I bet. But don't worry, the next one will make up for I have quite a few things in store for you. And I bet they'll really surprise you. Review if you wish to and I'm off to do other things. See ya later! (disappears)
