(:o)3 Chapter 2
"Falacis. I need you to take down that annoying little pink puffball." Dedede demanded.
"Of course milord. I cannot help but notice that the knight who was here before me, seems to have a keen interest in Kirby."
"I don't follow you." Dedede said, scratching his head.
"I mean," The warrior said patiently, "That it would seem most prudent to take Meta Knight out of the equation. He would be a deciding factor in any fight."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever, as long as you take Kirby outta the math doohickey too."
Falacis smiled evilly behind his mask, his eyes glowing a brighter blue. "Of course, my lord."
"Kirby? Wake up!" Kokori squawked, flapping frantically above Kirbys head. "Get up! Meta Knight needs your help!"
"Poyo!" Kirby squeaked, instantly running from his small home out to where an epic battle was being fought.
The two warriors were locked in combat, Meta Knight wielding the Galaxia, and Falacis some odd weapon with a blade on each end of the decorated hilt.
"No. Kirby stay back!" Meta Knight shouted, his voice strained. Falacis pulled weapon back in a wide arc, and brought it back down again.
The move was unexpected, and caught Meta Knight by surprise. He managed to block the offensive move, but the tip of one blade sliced into Meta Knights mask, leaving a crack that nearly split it in two.
Meta Knight stumbled back with the force of the blow, landing on one knee.
"Don't remember me?" Falacis snarled, the first evidence of any emotion.
"No." Meta Knight replied, running forward to attack the other warrior. Falacis easily flicked away the Galaxia like it was a toothpick then swung his own sword around it, trapping both their weapons between them.
"Honestly Meta Knight." Falacis whispered tensely, voice full of venom. "How many families must you destroy until realize you don't belong?"
Meta Knight paused in his struggling to free his sword. Something clicked. "Fantis?"
Falacis smirked, but no one saw. "Bingo." He slammed Meta Knight away from him, sending him spinning to the ground.
"It's Falacis now. But then I suppose you knew that."
"You betrayed your family. Not I." Meta Knight said weakly, straining to stand.
"What? You call me a traitor, when I only wanted to survive? You were all blinded by glory. We were hopelessly out numbered in that battle and you expected me to walk to my death?"
Kirby could only watch helplessly as Falacis advanced slowly on his fallen friend. Tiff and Tuff had arrived, out of breath from running.
"Oh no!" Tiff cried. "He's going to kill Meta Knight!"
"Please, Fantis, you must understand. Banishing you was our only choice. Leaving you among our ranks was not practical." Meta Knight said.
"You didn't have to send me to live with monsters!" Falacis snorted angrily. "And yet you did."
"We didn't send you there. You decided to go" Meta Knight said solemnly.
"It was your fault." Falacis said quietly, his calm façade returning. With a single fell swipe, he blasted Meta Knight away with an explosive hit.
He walked away, purposely forgetting his orders to take out Kirby as well.
Goodbye…Master." Falacis murmured.
"Meta Knight!" Tiff gasped. The three of them ran to where the star warrior had fallen.
He was alive, but he wouldn't be fighting anytime soon.
