Rise of Darkness

Meta-Knight and D. Meta-Knight stared at each other for a few seconds while the other smashers were watching the fight from the bridge, except for Kirby who was still trying to run for the deck despite being restrained since last chapter by Mewtwo.

"Why is the little guy still trying to run for the deck?" Falco asked.

"He's worried about Meta-Knight or something." Peach said. "Maybe we should go down and help.

"No… we only interfere if we absolutely have to." Mewtwo said.

Back on the deck, the two knights were still staring at each other.

"After I'm done with you… that other star warrior and all of his friends will be next." D. Meta-Knight finally said.

"I'll be the one to walk away from this battle, not you." Meta-Knight said. The two of them finally leaped at each other. They both made several slashes that couldn't be seen until the swords clashed. They kept on with these sword combos for a while before jumping back from each other. The two of them ran around in circles before charging at each other and continuing their series of mach-speed slashes. The two of them kept on going strong for several minutes before they jumped back again to catch their breath.

"It seems you haven't been slacking off." D. Meta-Knight said.

"Of course not, I am a star warrior, and I need to keep my skills sharp." Meta-Knight said.

"Let's not waste any more time now." D. Meta-Knight said, the two charged at each other again and kept on with their slashes. They were slashing, clashing, and dodging at an unbelievable pace. Meta-Knight finally slashed D. Meta-Knight's mask slightly, leaving a slight scratch. D. Meta-Knight spun around and did the same thing before they resumed their normal slashing and dodging routine. Meta-Knight flipped over D. Meta-Knight and attempted to slash at him from behind, but D. Meta-Knight blocked and attempted to thrust at Meta-Knight, but Meta-Knight sidestepped before making a vertical slash.

D. Meta-Knight jumped backward to avoid the slash and jumped back at Meta-Knight with a spinning jump slash. Meta-Knight rolled under the attack and delivered a slash across D. Meta-Knight's back. D. Meta-Knight didn't take this lightly off course and jumped high in to the air. Meta-Knight looked around to see if he could find out where he went. He finally saw D. Meta-Knight falling back down ready to thrust his sword forward. Meta-Knight sidestepped the attack but he did get cut on the arm.

"Grr… I'm getting bored with this." D. Meta-Knight said.

"Then I'll try and end this quickly." Meta-Knight responded.

"Jeez! Those guys have been going strong like this for twenty minutes now." Falco said in awe as he continued to watch the two Meta-Knights battle it out.

"Jigglypuff."

"Pichu."

"Pyo!" Yes he's still trying to run for the deck.

"Give it up already Kirby, I'm not letting you go." Mewtwo said.

The Meta-Knights jumped backwards again, but the second they landed, they both began spinning their swords around in front of them. Wind began to stir around the blades as they spun around and around when finally the spins sent vortexes of wind flying forward from their swords. The vortexes clashed and they began to try and overpower each other.

"I will not give up!" Meta-Knight shouted.

"I will complete my plan!" D. Meta-Knight shouted back. The wind vortexes kept on pushing each other back and forth between the Meta-Knights. Meta-Knight finally managed to generate enough of a spin to overpower D. Meta-Knight's vortex and D. Meta-Knight was sent flying off the deck of the Halberd.

"Alright he won!" Peach shouted.

"Kirby, you can stop running. Meta-Knight pushed D. Meta-Knight off the deck." Falco explained to Kirby. Kirby just kept on running. "Didn't you get what I said?" Falco asked. Suddenly they saw something fly upward and land on the deck, it was D. Meta-Knight, except the tattered cape was missing and a pair of bat wings was in its place. "He can fly?" Falco said. "Well that explains why Kirby is still running." Falco said.

"I underestimated you my light twin." D. Meta-Knight said. "But I shall no more."

"Neither shall I!" Meta-Knight said as he pulled his cape off and revealed a pair of bat wings lighter in color than D. Meta-Knight's wings.

"They can both fly." Peach said with some surprise.

"This could get ugly." Waddle Doo said.

The two of them flew at each other and began sword fighting in mid-air. They flew in circles before dashing past each other while slashing three times in a row. The two then resumed their sword fight in mid-air. Slashing, blocking, and dodging kind of like Dragon Ball Z. this kept on for several minutes, when they pushed each other away. The two Meta-Knights began to spin their swords above their heads rapidly. "Tornado slash!" They both shouted, the slashed their swords horizontally when they finished spinning them and two tornados came from their blades and began to fly toward their target.

The two cyclones merged and formed a large tornado centralized on the deck of the Halberd 2.

"You won't win! Just give up!" D. Meta-Knight shouted.

"Never!" Meta-Knight shouted back. The two of them flew in to the eye of the tornado and continued their swordfight within the tornado.

"I can't see anything anymore!" Falco said.

"Why are you worried about seeing when the ship is experiencing a whole lot of turbulence!" Peach shouted while clinging to the nearest thing nailed down. Kirby was still somehow running in place in all this, and Mewtwo wasn't having any trouble since he can float.

"Piiiiichuuu!" He screamed for dear life.

"Jiiiiglyyyypuuuuuff!" She screamed.

"Yoooooooshiiiii!" He screamed.

The Meta-Knight's were fighting each other furiously in the fierce winds they created. "That's it!" D. Meta-Knigth shouted. "Face the power of true Darkness!" He then began to gain the edge over Meta-Knight quickly.

"What is this surge of power?" Meta-Knight asked. D. Meta-Knight was slashing Meta-Knight rapidly and pushing him against the wall of the tornado. When the winds finally died down, and Meta-Knight was lying on the ground, cut up and bruised.

"Time to end it." D. Meta-Knight said.

"How…" Meta-Knight asked.

"Simple, the Dark Lord gives mighty dark magic to a few of his followers." D. Meta-Knight said as he charged up energy in his sword.

"Shadow ball!" Mewtwo fired a shadow ball at D. Meta-Knight. D. Meta-Knight sliced through and managed to land several slashes on Mewtwo. "Augh!"

"Idiot." D. Meta-Knight said. He then noticed all the other smashers surrounded him. "Grr… seems I'll have to settle my score another time." D. Meta-Knight spread his wings and flew toward the sky.

"What's he doing?" Meta-Knight asked. He saw D. Meta-Knight pull out a piece of glass. "Wait… is that? No!" He shouted.

"It is time to be released!" D. Meta-Knight shouted. A gigantic mirror appeared in the sky with a piece missing from it. D. Meta-Knight placed the shard he was holding in to that empty space. The mirror glowed and a humongous figure emerged from the mirror. It was a giant armored figure with only an upper body and a purple cloak. "My old master." D. Meta-Knight said.

"Old master? What do you mean?" The figure said.

"Pyo!" He shouted angrily.

"Who's Dark Mind?" Falco asked.

"It's that star warrior that defeated me!" Dark Mind shouted. He seemed to charge energy, but he then suddenly crippled over.

"My old master… you've only just now been freed, you need to recover your strength." D. Meta-Knight said. "And I know just the person to give you your old strength and so much more." He continued to say.

"Show me then." Dark Mind said. The two of them disappeared through some wormhole.

"This can't be good." Peach said.

The next day…

"Well, the king will pull through, and the citizens will survive." Meta-Knight said. "Thank you for your help, and so… goodbye." Meta-Knight said to the smashers as he turned around.

"Pyo."

"You… want me to join you?" Meta-Knight asked, a little surprised.

"Why not… you are very skilled." Falco said.

"We could use someone like you." Peach said.

"Master Hand would be more than happy to have you along." Mewtwo said.

"Jigglypuff."

"Pichu."

"Yoshi."

"Kirby…" Meta-Knight began. "You and I shall have a duel, if you win, I'll go with you, if I win… you'll stay here." He said.

"Huh?" This startled everyone.

"Pyo." He said while nodding his head.

"Are you sure?" Peach asked. Kirby continued to nod his head.

"Sword Knight, lend Kirby your sword." Meta-Knight said while drawing his.

"Of course sir." Sword Knight said while throwing his sword at Kirby.

Kirby inhaled the sword and he was wearing a hat similar to Link's hat only with yellow trimming, he was also wielding a sword. "Pyo." Kirby and Meta-Knight wasted no more time; they charged at each other and swung their swords at each other. Meta-Knight attempted a low slash with his sword, but Kirby leaped over it and attempted to counter with a jump slash, but Meta-Knight jumped backward to avoid it. Kirby extended his sword and was keeping Meta-Knight at bay with his long sword. When he thrust it forward, Meta-Knight jumped on top of it and ran along the length of the blade to attack Kirby. Kirby managed to avoid the counter attack and back off.

"Here goes." Meta-Knight said.

"Pyo." The both of them charge their swords and fire a huge slash that sends a wave of energy. The two sword beams make contact and explode, sending both Kirby and Meta-Knight flying backward.

"It seems to be a draw." Mewtwo said.

"I guess I'll have to decide on my own." Meta-Knight said. "And my decision is…" Everyone in the vicinity leaned toward him to listen to his words. "… I shall… come with you." Meta-Knight said.

"Yes!" Falco and Peach shouted. Mewtwo nodded while Kirby and Jigglypuff jumped up and down, and Yoshi and Pichu were singing.

The eight heroes got on to warp stars (Meta-Knight would ride on Pichu's while he carried him.)

"Come back and visit!" Tuff shouted.

"Take it to them Kirby! You too Meta-Knight!" Tiff shouted. Kirby waved back as the smashers took off.
