(A/N: There are not any jokes in this chapter, except if you think all action is a joke)

Kirby had landed on the airport runway. He saw no sign of George, or any of the six knights, or Geraldo, for that matter. He again stared at the Potato of Infinite Strength he had carried along with him. What extreme power could it hold? He knew he must destroy it, but he might need it. It was too powerful; Kirby could go insane with power. He put it away again and wondered about his decision.

Though his decision would have to be held off, as Kirby heard six sets of feet walking towards him.

Kirby examined them up and down. "Where's George?" He demanded.

"George is safe and sound. Besides, you have other things to worry about!" Geraldo said as he and his minions drew their swords.

Then there was a huge fight. There were swords clanging and people getting hurt, but nor knight nor puff were getting the upper hand. The fight lasted till the brake of day, until finally, the last knight fell to the ground.

Kirby dropped his sword to the ground in approval. But he knew he had not won yet. He heard clapping and snickering coming from the shadows.

"Heh, heh, very impressive, Kirby. You've defeated my best knights" said the figure. "Who are you and where is George?" yelled Kirby. As it stepped into the light, his appearance was revealed. Kirby gasped in horror. "Metaknight!" The figure that appeared to be Metaknight answered, "Close, but wrong." His entire body changed-his mask turned black, his robe gray, and his eyes a bright, glowing red. "You tricked me!" Kirby screamed. "Yes, I never knew a Popstar warrior such as you could be so, so, stupid! This was all a setup just to lure you here so I could destroy you!" Dark Metaknight said. "The invitation to Metaknight's castle, the knights, the training, I even planned for the knights to die!"

Kirby fell to his knees in disappointment and humiliation. How could he be fooled so easily? "No…" He groaned. "Yes! And now I will have the pleasure of destroying you-and your stupid little friend George!" Dark Metaknight explained. At the sound of his annoying friend, Kirby stood up. "Where is he?" Dark Metaknight chuckled menacingly and said, "Look up, fool!"

Kirby looked up to see his best friend floating up in the air inside a ball of energy. George yelled to Kirby, "Help me, Kirby! The walls in here are caving in!"

"Yes, and soon he will be crushed, and you will be annihilated!" Dark Metaknight answered. Kirby would not say a word. He was as angry as hell, and extremely disappointed. "No! I will not be killed and neither will George!" Kirby screamed. Suddenly, the spud relic began to glow a golden yellow. It floated up in the air and light blasted out from it. Dark Metaknight stared. "Impossible! How could he control that much power?" Kirby's sword and body began to glow gold, too. Kirby's eyes turned to glowing red-hot coals. Dark Metaknight and the Waddle Dee could do nothing but stare. Kirby's sword began to glow brighter, until it seemed as it were day outside.

"AAAARGH!" Kirby yelled extremely loudly. When he swung his sword, a giant beam of golden energy blasted out that began to go towards Dark Metaknight. He still stared in awe. The beam finally hit Dark Metaknight as he let out a scream. "NOOOOO! It can't be possible!-" Dark Metaknight broke to pieces as Kirby fell back to the ground, along with George, and fell down in pain and fatigue.
