Chapter 2 Dragons in the night
Everyone settled down after they were safe at Kabu Canyon. Tiff, Tuff, Lololo, Lalala, and Kirby were staying inside Kabu for the night since Meta Knight had told them they would be much safer in there. Meta Knight and his followers were keeping watch outside but Meta Knight soon told Sword to stay with the kids for the night. Everyone one had the hibbie jibbies and were scared to death. If that monster could destroy Cappy Town so quikly then they would be gone in a flash if it found them. Tuff was pondering what had happend in the court yard before. His little encounter with Yamikage the ninja. How could he be so stupid? How could beleive that crook! Tuff thought about about it till his head hurt and with a sudden rage he coudn't take anymore."I knew we shouldn't of beleived that ninja!" Tuff raged clenching his fists and cutting his teeth.
"What ninja?" Tiff asked her brother confused.
Tuff's mouth turned into a scrible. He had forgotten that Tiff wasn't there when they had seen Yamikage in the court yard.
"Uhh..." He stammered, "the one we saw in the court yard."
"We?" Tiff asked looking at Lololo and Lalala suspiciously.
Lololo and Lalala wimpered as they looked back and forth at each other.
"Whats going on! You had better tell me right now!" Tiff ordered.
"All right! all right! I'll tell ya." Tuff said waving his hands. "we went to the court yard after we "spyed" on Meta Knight. And then this ninja jumped down in front of us."
"It was that ninja that tried to kill Kirby." Lololo explained.
"Yeah, he called himself "Yamikage." Lalala added.
Kirby shivered at the name.
"Then he suddenly attacked us." Tuff shortend the story.
"Suddenly attacked us"? Yeah right Tuff! You wanted him to tell you about Meta Knights.."
Lololo covered Lalala's mouth so she wouldn't say anymore.
"About Meta Knights what?" Tiff pried.
"His artharites." Lololo smiled as he started sweating.
"His what!" Tiff exclaimed in unbeleif.
"Lololo you idiot!" Tuff growled quietly.
Sword was just above them on a ledge and he had heard their last remark.
"What are you talking about? Meta Knight dosn't have artharites." said Sword jumping down from his pearch.
"These guys are up to something and they won't tell me." Tiff growled putting her hands on her hips and glaring at them.
"Its doesn't matter Tiff, all you need to know is Yamikage is back and probably wants revenge on Kirby!" Tuff pointed out.
"Your right Tuff, he probably does want revenge on Kirby." Tiff wimpered.
"But if wants revenge on Kirby..." Lololo started.
"Why did his dragon go after you?" Lalala finished.
"Good question." Tiff observed.
Everyone looked at Sword as if he knew the answere.
"Good question is right kids, but I'm afraid I don't have the answere." Sword said with a shrug.
"Oh great!" Tuff said grabbing his head.
"This is hopeless." Lalala said floating down to the ground.
"What we need is a plan." Tiff said sticking her hand under her chin and closeing her eyes.
"The only plan we have right now is to stay inside Kabu and be quiet." Sword said trying to take command.
"Quiets my middle name." said Tuff punching his chest.
"I thought your middle name was.."
"Be quiet!" Tuff shouted interupting Lololo.
"Be quiet!" Sword shouted at Tuff.
"QUIET!" Tiff screamed.
"Shh!" Meta Knight shooshed peaking into Kabu. "be quiet!"
Everyones mouth turned into a scrible.
Meta Knight kept watch. He held a torch in his left hand and looked to and fro. He was a little nervious the kids and Sword kept getting louder and if they didn't shut up they would be in BIG trouble. It was quiet..too quiet at least queit outside unlike in Kabu.
"I'm getting a headache." Kabu moaned.
Meta Knight turned to the freaky Tikie.
"I feel like I have kids in my head." Kabu went on.
"You do." Meta Knight replied.
"Oh.. that explains it." Kabu chuckled.
Kabu's laugh was one of the freakiest things Meta Knight had ever heard it was very..droll.
Meta Knight was very serprized that the monster had not found them. The screams the laughing. Almost a whole day had passed and he saw no sight of the creature.
"It must be a trap." Meta Knight thought to himself. "At any rate we can't risk staying here they might destroy Kabu."
Meta Knight peaked into Kabu again. FINALLY! They had all gotten tired and were fast asleep...even Sword.
"What are you doing?" Meta Knight shouted as quietly as he could.
"Wha? What? What is it?" Sword said waking up.
"You cannot be sleeping on the job! That monster will get Kirby if you are asleep."
"Monster? Where?" Sword said sleepily.
"SWORD!" Meta Knight shouted.
Sword jumped to his feet."Y, yes sir?" Sword stamered.
"Go outside and keep watch I'll have Blade watch the kids." Meta Knight ordered.
Sword hung his head and marched outside
And just like Meta Knight said he had Blade watch the kids.
Sword sat down on a large rock and gazed into the darkness. I can't just sit feeling sorry for myself. Sword thought to himself.
"Whether or not if Meta Knight wants me to keep watch I gotta do this myself." Sword said standing up.
Sword took one step forward with every intension in his mind to go out and destroy that dragon. But suddenly the earth began took shake. The stones on the ground bounced up and down at every thud that echoed through the canyon walls. Sword toppled over. Sword started to pick himself up when a huge black foot appeared in front of him. Sword looked up into the face of a dragon.
"Look and be afraid!" Yamikage shouted who was riding the dragon.
Sword was afraid his whole body was shakeing but, in his moment of terror he remembered that his was keeping watch. The idea flashed through his mind to go and tell Meta Knight but why do that? So Meta Knight could be the hero? Sword decided to take matters into his own hands he was prepared to fight!
Sword pulled out his sword and charged at the beast.
"YAHH!" he shouted jumping at the dragon.
The dragon had no interest what so ever in Sword he knew his mission just as well as Yamikage did. So without further adu he flicked Sword like he was a flie and got going with the real deal. But Sword was determend and fought on.
Yamikage growled. He was getting very anoyed with
Sword jumping at them like a crazy rabbit.
"Drathen! Destroy him!" Yamikage ordered.
Drathen swiped at Sword with its huge deadly claws. If only sword had known how much danger he was in he might not have been so brave. Sword was running out of energy jumping and doging this monster was a hard thing to do. As soon as Sword jumped from a swipe of its claw he had to immediatly dodge a blow from its masive tail. And to make things worse Yamikage had started throwing throwing stars at him. He was jumping every where. Pretty soon it was too much for Sword to bare. Just one mistake of doging in the
wrong direction almost costed Sword his life.
Sword switched as he lie face down on the ground. He didn't know it but he had taken a brutal blow from the dragons tail and had bashed into a large rock. Not only that but one of Yamikages throwing stars had peirced his left foot. Yamikage chuckled to himself.
"Lets go." Yamikage said looking down at Drathen.
"Quit shuven Tuff!" Tiff growled at her brother.
"Do you think I like sleeping on a cold floor?" Tuff hissed.
"I wish we had some blankets." Lalala wined.
"Yeah, I'm freazing." Lololo added.
"You shouldn't be yelling at me anyway Tiff, it was your idea we cuddle up together to keep warm." Tuff reminded her.
"Well you could cuddle a little less ya know!" Tiff shot back.
Blade sat leaning against the wall and watched the kids fight.
"Shhh! Be quiet!" he hushed.
Meta Knight peeked in.
"I saw something lets go." Meta Knight motioned.
"What about the kids?" Blade asked mumboling something else.
"Do not worry." Meta Knight said just as Blade stepped out of Kabu.
Meta Knight and Blades turned torward Kabu as Kabu's fire lit up.
"They will be fine." Meta Knight asssured.
Meta Knight grabed a torch and then he and Blade set
off into the darkness as they got closer to the spot where Sword was keeping watch they saw something but it wasn't a monster. It was Sword!
"Sword!" Meta Knight and Blade shouted.
Blade turned his friend over on his back.
"Sword! Sword!" Blade said as he shook him.
Sword twitched then moned.
"Sword! You okay?" Blade asked mumbling something .
"Yeah. Ow! Where did they go?" Sword said looking around.
"Where did who go?" Meta Knight questioned.
"There was this ninja and he was rideing on a black dragon." Sword explained.
Meta Knight and Blade exchanged looks.
