"Did you say something?" Meta Knight questioned Kirby.
"Umm... no."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah..."
What is going on? Am I going insane?
"No, I think you are just fine," replied Kirby.
Meta Knight gave an awkward look.
"...How did you know what I was thinking?"
Kirby gave an even more confused look. "You just said it out loud."
Meta Knight thought for a moment.
Can he read my mind?
Kirby squinted. "No, I don't think I can."
KIRBY IS HOT!
"Ha ha, I know you're just joking."
He CAN read my mind.
"Umm... Wanna go for a walk?" said Kirby trying to end the strange conversation.
"Fine."
"Great! I'll lead the way to the woods."
Seconds after Meta Knight began walking, he was hearing the strange voice again.
"DoNt YoU jUsT wAnNa DiTcH tHiS gUy?"
Why? I have nothing better to do than just go with what he says.
"YoU nEEd tO TaKe CoNtRoL."
Take control of what?
"OpEn YoUr EyEs..."
They already are open.
As soon as the Kirby reached the forest, the voice stopped.
Being strangely curious, Meta Knight asked, "Hey, Kirby. Did you hear any voices on the way here?"
"Um, no."
Hmm... that's strange..."
Why? Is it normal to be hearing voices?"
"Oh, never mind."
The two entered the woods.
"You go first," said Kirby trying to be kind.
After walking a good distance, Kirby started to sing.
"In the morning you go gunning, for the man who stole your water."
Meta Knight stopped, then turned around.
"You really need to stop listening to DeDeDe's records."
"Pff, you just don't know good music," Kirby joked.
All was going normal, but Meta Knight had the feeling that it was going to change very soon.
Meta Knight looked around.
"Is it getting darker?"
Kirby looked up.
"Yeah, I think the forest is getting thicker."
"Speaking of thick…"
Meta Knight looked behind the nearest tree, finding Jecra behind it. He sighed.
"How did I know you were hiding here?"
Jecra smirked in his mind.
"I'm a freakin' genius."
"What are you talking about?" said Meta Knight shockingly.
"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all."
Ignoring Jecra, Meta Knight kept on walking down the forest path, with Kirby following close behind. They reached a dark and humid part of the forest. Meta Knight could almost make out a figure sitting in front of a tree. He drew closer.
"Oh."
It was Knuckle Joe. He was drinking again.
"Your father doesn't look after you very well," Meta Knight leaned over to say.
"You killed him! My father is dead because of you!"
"No, I think you've had too many."
Knuckle Joe stood up, very drunk.
"My father said you killed him!"
Meta Knight tried to stand over him.
"That's because your father is a moron!"
While the two were arguing, Kirby decided to keep walking down the path. After ten minutes, Meta Knight finally noticed he was gone.
"Oh this is great. This is your fault."
He turned around to insult Drunkle Joe some more, but he heard the strange voice again.
