Author's note: I don't own Kirby, Meta Knight or any or those characters. They belong to rightful owners. But the new upcoming puffball is mine.
Everyone was just finishing up lunch: Fumu and Bun had shared a whole watermelon and Kirby was on his fifteenth apple. That's when someone's tummy growled really loudly. Everyone turned to Meta Knight, who hadn't eaten a thing because of his mask.
"I-I'm not hungry." He lied, then his tummy growled even louder in protest. Meta's eyes turned a deep green for a moment then he shouted in convincingly fake surprise:
"Look! It's DynaBlade's children! They're flying!" pointing at the blue sky. As Fumu, Bun and the two knights whipped their heads around to look at the clear sky, Meta Knight yanked his mask up, grabbed an apple and shoved the whole thing in his mouth. Being related to Kirby comes in handy sometimes. He thought as he pulled his mask back down just as everyone was turning back around.
As they complained about the lack DynaBlade's flying chicks, he noticed how Kirby was just staring. He wasn't complaining like the others and he wasn't eating though he had an apple in his hand. He was just sitting there, dead quiet. Fumu and the others soon noticed this too, and it was deathly silent.
"Kirby?" asked Fumu softly. "Are you ok?" Kirby blinked slowly and looked at Fumu.
"Po...yo..." he said weakly as his half bitten apple tumbled out of his paw. Kirby then fell to the ground with a small THUMP, landing on his face, revealing two things. One being a long, deep cut on his back which was bleeding heavily.
The other was himself.
The Kirby standing behind the pink one had the same shape as him but, a different color scheme and was a little older. He had red eyes and feet with a gray body. His cheeks had black blushes like Kirby red ones only the seemed worn out. In his left paw was a short, jagged blade which was coated in blood all the way to the hilt.
Let's call him Daaku Kaabii. (Dark Kirby) ...On with the story...
Upon seeing the blood-covered blade, the three knights jumped up and drew their weapons. Though it was Sword and Blade struck first. The sound of metal meeting each other pierced the air as Dark Kirby easily defended himself against the two knights.
Each blow was blocked by Dark Kirby who was grinning madly. With every hit, Sword and Blade were pushed backwards. The knights realized that they'd be pushed off the cliff if they didn't do something fast. Yet they weren't quick enough to act.
Blade Knight, who was closer to the edge, took a step back onto air. His arms waved wildly as he tried to keep his balance. Sword made a grab for him but Daaku was there first; hitting Blade with the flat of his weapon, over the edge.
Sword and Dark Kirby both stopped to watch him fall; Sword in despair, Daaku in amusement. They both heard him scream when he saw how close the ocean was coming into his vision.
Suddenly a purple-ish blue blur swooped down from behind them and grabbed Blade right before he hit the water. Dark Kirby took advantage of this time and kicked the surprised Sword over the edge also. The blur again flew in from nowhere and saved him from the fatal plunge. Dark Kirby grit his teeth in annoyance. Who's saving them?
Daaku turned to leave only to have his path blocked by Meta Knight, not even 5 feet away, his cape rippling softly in the spring breeze. How did he get there? They both seemed slightly out of breath. Daaku raised a nonexistent eyebrow as if asking: What are you going to do? Meta Knight seemed to do the same.
Simultaneously, Meta Knight pulled out Galaxia as Daaku started to run past him. The flat edge of Meta's sword met Daaku in the face as he charged past, forcing him backwards. Though the impact to Galaxia sent it spinning out of Meta Knight's hand a good distance away. He turned to Daaku who was just recovering from the blow his gray paw over his right eye. Daaku seemed ready to run,again.
"You go nowhere, demon." spat Meta Knight. Just because he didn't have his sword doesn't he couldn't fight. He'd use any means necessary.
"The name's Daaku and you won't stop me!" With that, Daaku lunged at Meta Knight and the battle began.
Wow. Poor Kirby!
This is anyone's game here: a sword-less Meta Knight against a half-blind dark version of Kirby. Told you it'd be longer.
Anyway this will be the last chapter before my vacation. Sorry to leave it on a cliff hanger but, I only had a certain amount of time before the trip. I'll be back the beginning of September, hopefully I'll get a chapter in before school starts.
P.S. Sword and Blade are fine in case you were worried.
