Chapter 11 Pisces The Star Warrior

Meta Knight appeared again along with Nightmare.

"MWAHAHAHAHA!" Nightmare laughed.

"Oh no!" Tiff gasped.

While Tiff was mesmorized by the terror of it all Tuff noticed something.

"Look, Tiff!" Tuff said pointing to her arm.

Tiff looked.

The poision that had been in her veins was gone!

"What's going on?" Tuff questioned.

"I don't know," Tiff said, letting her eyes wander to Pisces,"but I'm going to find out!"

Tiff bolted over in the direction of Pisces.

"Wait!" Tuff shouted after her, running behind her, "She's evil! Don't!"

When the two were right next to the body then just looked at her.

"Wow," Tuff remarked, from not noticing it before, "she's pretty."

"Is she alive?" Tiff said reaching her hand out to touch the body.

Suddenly the hand sprinted to life, snagging Tiff's wrist.

The girl's eyes looked around. The girl sat up and began to squeeze Tiff's wrist. Tiff cried out.

"Where's Meta Knight?" she asked.

Tiff rose a shaky finger to where Meta Knight was floating.

Pisces gasped, "Meta Knight!"

Pisces grabbed her Star Wand and bolted.

Nightmare laughed, "Don't even think about it Pisces! There's nothing you can do now!"

She rose her wand in the air,"You promised!"

Nightmare laughed again,"So did he!"

Nightmare shot a blast of dark magic of of his hand.

Pisces dodged it.

Nightmare shot a second round out and this one hit her.

Kirby rose to his tipee toes and started yelling at Nightmare, "POYO! POYO! POYO!"

Nightmare looked at him hatefully, and raised his hand,"Shut up!"

Another blast of darkness was shot, but before it could hit Kirby Pisces grabbed him and ran out of the way.

The two tumbled until they hit the wall.

Pisces shook her head then looked at Kirby in surprise, "Kirby?"

"Look out!" Tiff screamed, as another dark ball of black magic was shot.

The two lept to safety behind a pillar as other rounds of dark magic were fired..

Tiff and Tuff hurried over.

"Who are you?" Tuff questioned.

"My name is Pisces. And you are?"

"I'm Tiff, and this is my brother Tuff, and that's Kirby."

"I know." she said staring at the pink puff ball.

"How?" Tuff questioned.

"That doesn't matter right now," Pisces said, peeking out at the side of the pillar. She looked back at the three, "Look, I don't know who you are or why your here. But I do know if we don't get out of here we're going to die."

"Where do we go?" Tuff questioned.

Pisces thought, then looked at them "Do you have a Star ship?"

"Yes, but you can't just leave him here." Tiff answered.

"I'm not," Pisces reflected, "You are."

"We can't leave Meta Knight! We're his friends!" Tuff argued.

"Listen," she said, grabbing Tuff by the shoulders, "Right now Meta Knight is risking everything for you, don't let that risk go to waste."

With that the dark women ran, and disappeared into battle with Nightmare.

"What should we do?" Tuff asked Tiff.

"I don't care what she says," Tiff began, "I'm not leaving Meta Knight behind!"

Meta Knight had been knocked out for some time now, since he'd been banished on Desert Star. Heavy sand storms threatened to kill him as he lay there, in the middle of nowhere. He started to wake up. He was awake! He was almost completely buried by sand but he was awake!

In the distance Meta Knight could see a small town up ahead. This was his only chance! He had to make it to that town if he wanted to survive. It took awhile but he finally made it there. When he made it into the town he just totally collapsed. This is it. I'm done for.

"Hey, Mr."

Meta Knight looked up.

"Are you okay? Would you like drink?" the small child asked, extending a cantene.

Meta Knight swiped it and guzzled it down.

He felt his strength coming back now. And when his strength came back all hell broke loose. He began to feel this uncontrolable feeling to kill, to kill and destroy everything.

Meta Knight's eyes shone a dangerious red as his wings sprouted from his back.

The small child shrieked in horror.

With one single swipe of his sword he killed 50 people and destroyed 45 buildings. His rampage was uncontrolable! He destroyed everything in his path! There seemed to be no hope for the village, until.

"Get him!" said Jecra charging with Pisces, and Garloot by his side.

They tackled him.

Jecra raised his sword to slay him. Meta Knight threw him off with incredible force.

This time Garloot tried to stop him, but he just did the same to her.

"He's too powerful!" Garloot said standing wearily.

"Don't worry, I've got him!" Pisce shouted.

Pisces used her magic to make vines grow out of the ground and wrap him up.

"We've got to destroy him!" Jecra growled readying his sword.

"Wait!" Pisces said stopping Jecra.

"What?"

Pisces looked at Meta Knight for a long moment, then said, "He's not evil."

"What? Nightmare made him! He has to be evil!" Jecra insisted.

"No! He's just confused. He doesn't want to be like this."

At that moment Meta Knight sprouted his wings and broke free.

Pisces screamed as Meta Knight flew at her.

"Look out!" Jecra shouted.

The two tussled on the ground until Meta Knight had the upper hand.

Meta Knight readied his sword to run her through.

"Wait!" she cried.

Meta Knight didn't listen, so Pisces put a force field up around her body.

"I know you don't want to be a monster! And you don't have to be!"

Meta Knight broke the sheild and grabbed her by the throat.

Garloot and Jecra attempted to save her but Meta Knight hit them away.

"Y-you don't have to do this!" Pisces choked out, "You don't have to be a monster!" Pisces started to see black, "St-stop before it's to late!"

Pisces blacked out.

Meta Knight thought within himself. I do not want to do this! I do not want to be a monster! And broke free.

Meta Knight dropped Pisces and fainted.

After awhile Meta Knight joined the Star Warriors and fought with them.

And there was a certain time stuck in his mind.

Meta Knight woke in a cold sweat. When he looked around he realized he was in a infirmery of some sort. He could hear the sound of explosions and screams outside. There was also screaming coming from the room next to, that was seperated by a curtain. Someone was screaming,"NOT MY LEG! NOT MY LEG!"

Meta Knight almost attacked when a Star Warrior nurse came from behind the curtain that seperated him room from another.

She walked up to him and reached over to dab his wound.

He grabbed her hand, "Where am I?"
"You're in the middle of a war, and you need to get to safety and that's really all that matters." she answered.

Then he recognized her, "You are that Star Warrior! Pisces wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"I must apoligize for my behavior, I did not mean to hurt you."

The girl continued to dab his wounds, "It's ok. That was a long time ago and you didn't know what you were doing."

He watched her as she worked, "I am greatfull for your help, but I'm afraid I do not deserve it."

"It's my job." she said wiping her bloody hands on her white apron.

"Your are a Star Warrior nurse?"

"Sometimes, I prefere to fight but our nurses are in short supply."

"I see."

An explosion was heard.

"Come on," she said, helping him out of the bed, "you'll be safer once we get to a Kabu."

"Pisces!" another Star Warrior shouted, "Come on! We have to get these guys to out of here!"

Another explosion was heard but this one took out half of the building, the half Meta Knight was on.

Meta Knight made his way out of the debre and on the top.

"Meta Knight!" Jecra, his new best friend called to him relieved he hadn't been killed by the explosion, "I so glad you're all right! Come on!" He motioned, "Let's get out of here before we get killed!"
Meta Knight looked around, "What happened to that nurse?"

"What nurse?" Jecra asked, "You mean Pisces?"

"Yes, she was just with me!"

"She's probably under the debre! Let's dig for her!" Jecra suggested.

The two dug until they found her.

"Pisces! Are you ok?" Jecra asked helping her up.

Pisces coughed, "I'm fine."

While they were busy a monster snuck up on them but Meta Knight and Jecra easily took him out.

"Good," Jecra looked over his shoulder, "Now let's get out of her!"

Jecra, Garloot, Pisces, Captain Cosmo's, and even Yamikage, plus many other Star Warriors had all been Meta Knight's close friends, but now being in this dark state of mind all Meta Knight could do was think about them. He knew he could never be their friends again, and he hated himself for the decision he had made. All he could do now was think about the good times and the bad times. And that was it. He could just think about it.

When Pisces decided to fall back from fighting Nightmare, Tiff thought this would be a good time to talk to her.

"Miss Pisces!" Tiff said grabbing her arm.

Pisces looked at her.

"We really appreciate you caring about us and all, but we can't leave Meta Knight here, we're his friends and we just won't do it."

Pisces said nothing.

"We have to help him!" Tiff insisted.

"Fine." Pisces said, her eyes focused on Nightmare, making sure he wasn't attacking.

Tiff fidgeted nervously, "Sooo, what do we do?"

"If we can just get Meta Knight away from Nightmare, maybe I can use my magic to reach for him."

"Reach for him?" Tiff repeated confused.

"You'll understand once I begin to perform it."

"Ok," Tiff agreed.

Tuff ran over, "What's going on?"

Pisces explained.

"Reach for him? You're crazy! That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

Pisces looked at him annoyed. "Do you have a better idea?"

Tuff bit his lip, "Well, no but-"

"How are we going to get him?" Tiff cut in.

Pisces glared at Nightmare, then answered, "Just leave that to me."

Pisces left them and began to fight Nightmare again.

"Let him go!" Pisces demanded.

Nightmare laughed, "Never!"

Pisces drew a dragon with her fingers then held both index fingers up, flames charged at Nightmare threating to burn him to a crisp. Nightmare just laughed and wooshed his cape and blew out the flame like a candle.

"Why don't you try to persuade him yourself, Pisces? MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Nightmare dropped Meta Knight.

Pisces ran to him. She went to help him up, when he suddenly sprang to life and back handed her across the face so hard it made her fall over.

Pisces rose to her side, holding her bleeding cheek.

Meta Knight's wings sprouted from his back. He flew at her and readied his sword to cut her in half.

Pisces held up her Star Wand, protecting herself from his blow. They pushed on eather side trying make sure they weren't the one getting choked. Pisces hit Meta Knight on the head then jumped back.

Pisces pounded the bottom of her Star Wand into the ground making tree roots come out of the ground and wrap around him, then she shot a blizzard at him and tried to freeze him.

Pisces panted heavily. Just seven minutes fighting with Meta Knight had tired her out, he was just too strong!

She hoped that her ice and earth attacks had sustained him but she doubted it would for long. Sure enough he broke free.

Meta Knight started to create Sword Beam, then unleashed it.

Pisces quickly clapped her hands, crossed them against her chest, and created a force field around her.

The force field served it's purpose and kept her from getting killed but two minutes of impact from the Sword Beam broke the force field.

Meta Knight charged at her. Pisces threw needles at him, but he just wacked them away with his sword.

Before she could perform another attack Meta Knight had pinned her to the ground. Now she was totally helpless. Her Star Wand had slidden away from her, and her wrists were pinned by his wings so she couldn't create magic.

"Do something, Kirby!" Tiff shouted.

Kirby frantickly looked around for something to eat, but there was nothing.

Meta Knight rose his sword up.

Pisces screamed.
