Meta Boo23: I have the next chapter here! Sorry about not getting chapter 3 up sooner and for the technical difficulties. I think I fixed them though…
Bun: Hey what's that suppose to mean?
Meta Boo23: Just do the disclaimer.
Bun: Fine. Meta Boo23 doesn't own any Kirby characters, ideas, or….. well….. anything else for that matter.
Note to readers: Anything that is in '' are thoughts during dreams.
Go for the Lodge!
The two hours had passed exceedingly fast and soon they were back on the road with Bun complaining once again.
"Are we there yet?" Bun asked for the thousandth time that day.
"No Bun" the agitated Parm managed to squeeze out.
"Fine… be that way." Bun grumbled then ran off to join his friends.
Parm breaths a deep sigh.
The sun was starting to set and the group of Cappies had finally reached their destination, Unknown Forrest.
"Alright, listen up! This is Unknown Forrest and this is where we will be camping. However there is also a luxurious lodge deep within the heart of the forest for those of you who enjoy luxury" The ranger stated with doubt that anyone would actually attempt to make the journey, nevertheless Bun jumped at the chance, then turned to Parm.
"Dad, can we go to the lodges?"
"Absolutely not" He said firmly.
"Why not?"
"It's… um…. to dangerous… yah…."
"Fine…." Bun gave his dad a 'whatever' stare then stomped away.
Upon reminding himself that Meta Knight and Kirby are here, he thought they might be hustling for the lodge.
"Meta Knight!" Bun called after him.
Meta Knight sighed.
"What is it now, Bun?"
"Are you and Kirby going to head for the lodge tonight?"
Meta Knight's eyes glowed green for a moment.
"….No…. at least not now…."
"But why not? The ranger said that they were luxurious and everything!"
"Bun…… Is it wise to roam with no light to see in a pit of the unknown?"
Bun began to walk away with agitation.
"However…. I do not see why we couldn't depart in the morning…"
"WHEN? I want to come!! I'm sure that Dad won't miss me! After all, I'm not home most of the time."
"….. 5 am sharp, here."
Meta Knight drew an X in the dirt at his feet with a random stick that was lying on the ground. They left and set up their tents.
" 'Night!" Bun shouted sleepily as he returned to his camp site.
Meta Knight was running, running as fast as he could. He couldn't let the black shadow catch up with him. At that moment a stabbing sensation was felt in his back.
"Guah!"
Slashing his sword around to kill anybody that was back there, but all he found was his shadow that loomed over a small pool of his own blood.
'He will be coming soon…' Meta Knight's eyes blazed red. 'So come and get me already!'
Meta Knight awoke in a deep, cold sweat, breathing heavily, eyes glowing purple with fear. After a few minutes he calmed himself.
Why am I reliving a nightmare of my past in my dreams? Should I be wary of them and take them as a warning of events yet to come?
Not knowing his future, the knight disassembled his tent and went to wait by the X that had been drawn by him the night before. There was a little opening of time before Bun and Kirby would show up, so he ate a piece of toast he had left over from the night before. Not long after Bun and Kirby showed up roaring to go.
"Ok! We're ready to roll!!" Bun yelled enthusiastically.
"Poyo!"
"……let's get going"
The party of three set off into the eternally dark forest.
"Meta Knight, how far is this lodge?"Bun asked.
"……………"
"META KNIGHT"
His eyes quickly changed back from green to their usual amber color. "…..Wha?"
"How far is the lodge?"
"Poyo!"
"…I don't know"
"Oh…………"
They continued to hike through the woods with the still energetic Kirby in front.
"Bun! Bun! Where are you?" Parm yelled franticly.
Oh, I hope he's ok…..
"Meta Knight you haven't seen………………" His words trailed away as he realized that Meta Knight and Kirby had left.
(Sigh)
Where are you, Bun?
The forest had gotten much darker as they traveled deeper, as the three saw. The deeper you were, the darker it got. Quite a few times they heard the rustles of bushes and the howls of animals, from all directions.
"Poyo…"
Kirby ran over to Meta Knight and squeezed his arm for comfort. The knight smiled under his mask.
The sun was beginning to set and they had been walking for quite some time. Meta Knight held out his arm to signal for the group to stop. Suddenly a raggedy Cappy came shrieking out of the bushes scrambling away from something; then collapsed at Kirby's feet. He had messy, red hair and light brown eyes.
"Bun, Kirby" Meta Knight commanded.
"Right!" "Poyo!"
They grabbed the unconscious Cappy and, with their remaining strength, carried him to the nearest clearing.
"We'll set up camp here." instructed Meta Knight.
The two leaned the mysterious Cappy up against a nearby tree while they quickly set up camp for the night.
Meta Boo23: Ooooooooooooo! A cliffhanger! Who is this mysterious Cappy?
Bun: His name is….. (I put duck tape over his mouth) mph!
Meta Boo23: I WON'T ALLOW SPOILERS!! Anyways reviews plz!! With cookies and ice cream on top of/on the side of your favorite food!!
Meta Boo23: Anyways to answer your question about where Fumu went…. She went wherever she goes when she's not on screen. (sweatdrop) She won't reappear until the final chapter so any Fumu fans I'm sorry this does NOT base around her. To be honest she hogs a lot of screen time…….. so SRY!! TT.TT
