Chapter 4: A Start of a Journey
Sword and Blade dragged themselves out of the bar, after another day of heavy drinking. They were merely suffering from sugar crash since earlier the day they were jumping around the bar room. They walked back to the castle and roamed the dark hallways. They continued to walk until the sky turned dark and the night guards took over. The two knights walked back into their bed room and prepared to go to sleep.
Sword closed the curtains and turned on the television.
"I miss Meta Knight," sighed Sword.
"So do I, but what can we possibly do about it? We work for King Dedede. We can't object his orders. Besides, Meta Knight said to remain in the castle."
"I know, but I wonder what Meta Knight is doing? Does he have a place to sleep? What if he is attacked by wolves!?"
"He has the Galaxia...I'm sure he can survive," reassured Blade.
"I guess you're right."
"I can't sleep."
"I feel the same way."
"Why don't we go spy on King Dedede? You know, to see if Meta Knight is right about the King doing suspicious activities."
"I have nothing better to do," said Sword.
Sword quickly turned off the television and walked out of the room with Blade. They slowly walked through the hallway and spotted the entrance to the throne.
"Here is the deal, we can't be seen or we might be banished ourselves," whispered Sword.
"I kinda realize that. How are we gonna spy on the king without being noticed?"
"I don't know..."
"I brought my camera," whispered Blade, showing off his digital camera.
"Good thinking. We might use that as proof."
Sword slowly leaned his head over the door and saw that the throne room was empty. Sword and Blade entered the throne room and began to look around. There was no sign of strange activity except for a random Waddle Dee coming in to clean the throne room. Suddenly, they heard a roar of laughter coming from the hallway.
"Crap...we gotta hide," whispered Sword.
"Let's hide inside that large pot." Blade pointed to four large pots which normally contained tax money. The two knights jumped into the pot and Blade turned on his digital camera to record everything that will occur.
King Dedede entered the throne room and the large screen appeared in front of him. It was Knightmare who appeared on the screen.
"I've heard that you managed to get rid of Meta Knight," said Knightmare, who sounded very pleased.
"I had to get rid of that jerk somehow. He is starting to become suspicious of me. Those other two knights are clueless idiots so I ain't worried about them," said 'King Dedede.'
"Did he just called us idiots? I am SOO going to beat the crud out of King Dedede someday," grumbled Sword.
"As long as I continue doing these crazy things, the Cappies will eventually grow weary. I already gotten rid of the most respected figure in the kingdom. This sure is a great plan, Knightmare."
Blade gasped, but he continued recording.
"I think you should get some shut eye. I suggest that you continue to mess with the Cappies until they eventually breakdown tomorrow, Dark Matter," said Knightmare.
"Good idea. Night." King Dedede walked out of the throne room and the large screen turned off on its own. Once they heard that the King was far off, Sword and Blade jumped out of the pot and ran to their room. They locked the door.
"Oh my goodness, Dark Matter possessed King Dedede and Knightmare is helping. This is just terrible. What are you gonna do!?"shouted Sword.
"I don't know! One thing's for sure: we're gonnna eventually fight off Dark Matter and Knightmare. I sure wish we had Meta Knight with us," complained Blade.
"So do I..."

Tuff and Kirby were running through the street, trying to avoid getting touched by a young Cappy who was supposed to be chasing them. Tuff and Kirby ran up to the large tree which stood at the center of the town, and waited.
"Tuff, Kirby, what are you doing?" asked Tiff, who spotted them up on the tree.
"Be quiet! We're playing hide and seek and you're gonna reveal our hiding spot!" shouted Tuff.
"It's too late for that," mumbled Tiff.
"Guys! You wouldn't believe what Sword and I found out last night!" shouted Blade as he and Sword ran through the streets of Cappy Town.
"What is it?"
"Well, just check out my digital camera."
"You have a digital camera?"
"Just look at it!" shouted Sword.
Tuff and Kirby jumped off the tree and looked at the tiny screen on the back of the digital camera. They watched the recording with Tiff. The three gasped while watching the video. Blade turned off the digital camera and put it away.
"I think Meta Knight was banished because he knew about the plan," said Sword.
"That makes sense," said Tiff.
"What are we gonna do!?" asked Tuff.
"We cannot start a rebellion that is for sure. I am sure that is what Dark Matter will want us to do. We're gonna need Meta Knight back if we want to take down that villain," said Blade.
"Of course we are gonna need Kirby, so take care of him."
"Why don't you want us to rebel!? We should be doing that anyways!" shouted Tiff.
"Trust me...you won't understand. Just don't allow anyone to revolt, no matter what happens," said Sword as Blade nodded his head.
"I understand."
"What are you guys gonna do?" asked Tuff.
"We are gonna try to get Meta Knight back. We will travel through Dreamland to get Meta Knight back! He shouldn't have gone too far," said Blade.
"But first we're gonna go get a drink at the bar!" exclaimed Sword.
"I'm joining you guys!" shouted Tuff.
"You can come along with us guys."
Tuff and Kirby cheered as the followed Sword and Blade behind. Tiff also chose to follow the knights into the bar. Once they arrived at the bar, everyone sat on the bar stool and allowed the bartender to pour their soda of choice.
"For Dreamland!" shouted Tuff.
"Yeah whatever," mumbled Sword.
"I want some more damn soda!" shouted Blade.
"Watch your language Blade, there are kids in the bar."
"What are kids doing in a bar anyways!? This should be a place for adults anyways!"
"We let the kids come with us. What's wrong with you today?"
"Did Blade actually get drunk of soda?" asked Tuff.
"I think so..."
"MORE SODA!" shouted Blade.
Samo quickly refilled Blade's cup. Once everyone was finished drinking their soda, they walked out of the bar and gathered under the large tree.
"How are we gonna make sure that King Dedede doesn't know that you're missing?" asked Tiff.
"Uh...King Dedede rarely calls on us, unless there is someone trying to disturb the King. That is another reason why we don't want the Cappies to revolt. The King can easily find out that we're missing. Just remember: no matter how crazy things get, DO NOT REVOLT!" said Sword.
"We'll make sure of it!" shouted Tuff.
"Thanks guys. Now, it is time for Blade and I to leave."
Sword and Blade stood at the Southern entrance at the town, looking at the green grass blowing from the soft wind. Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby stood behind watching the knights depart.
Yep! Sword and Blade are now going on an adventure! ^o^ I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I just love thanksgiving break! ^^ I hope you guys review this chapter!
