When the demon child next opened her eyes, she was in a bright, fancy room. She also noted that there was a fat penguin looking at her. The penguin looked at the cell phone in his hand and half stated, half yelled, "Ok, I'm perfectly aware that Star Warriors are demons that betrayed you guys, but why did you have to make it one of them that are Kirby's species?! Second of all, she a huge-aleck bloody mess! Couldn't you just have bandaged her up when you sent it?" Hopeful thoughts rushed into the she-demon's mind. "Star Warriors? Betraying Nightmare? I have to be a part of this!" she thought, a faint smile appearing on her face. First looking behind her to check to see if the penguin was still bickering with the man on the cell phone, she got up and attempted to escape the room.

"No you don't, missy!" King Dedede said right before bringing down his hammer on his new demon. The she-demon groaned in pain as the mallet hit her body, causing blood to gush from her wounds and giving her many bruises. "If you think you're gonna escape kid, think AGAIN! No demon of mine is gonna escape without getting away with it! Look what you did to the floor! Now it's all gross and bloody and… gross! And yours truly is gonna have to clean all of this up-"the she-demon didn't bother to listen to the rest of his rambling about how the floor was all bloody. Instead, she tried to escape again, knowing the same result was going to happen. But, surprising to her, the same result didn't happen. Instead, she was picked up by the edge of her cape. "Defiant, aren't you?" the penguin said, turning to argue with the customer service man some more.

Outside the throne room, the knights known as Sword and Blade were going on their rounds when they stopped outside and heard the ruckus about the floor being bloody and everything. They looked in a crack in the door to see what was going on.

What they saw was a major shock for them.

They saw King Dedede with his Nightmare Enterprises cell phone, screaming at it, with a demon beast. Seeing this, they went straight to their lord to warn him about the treat.

And their lord was none other than the Star Warrior Meta Knight.

An hour or so of bickering with Customer Service later, King Dedede finally stormed out of his throne room, still holding the she-demon by the cape (which was extremely awkward for her). The king was soon stopped in his tracks by Meta Knight, Sword and Blade standing at his sides. The she-demon thought the knights were intimidating, and was worried that she had to fight them. Also, she didn't want to fight an innocent person, especially when her shoulders were hurting like heck like they were at that moment. The masked knight spoke, "Sire, I know how much you hate Kirby, but don't order demon beasts. He's beaten every one you have, so please, keep your hate to yourself." His voice was deep and almost calming, yet there was still an intimidating look to him.

"Meta Knight, I want him dead and I want him gone, so don't even bother to try and get in the way of that, or I'm gonna have her fight you." The king said. The she-demon knew that the "her" King Dedede was referring to was herself.

"I'll do what I have to." Meta Knight replied, drawing a golden blade from its hilt and putting it in fighting position. Dedede threw the she-demon to the ground, causing her to wince in pain and blood to spill from her wounds. The she-demon stood, pulling out her the sword that she was given before she was transported. She looked her opponent in the eyes, which were a blazing yellow that pierced her very soul. Suddenly, the she-demon became tiered and weak, the pain in her shoulders greatly increasing. She fell to the hard, manolium floor with a grunt. Struggling to her feet, she whispered, "…no."

"No?! What do you mean by No?!" King Dedede asked furiously. The she-demon looked Meta Knight in the eyes again and simply said (with tears coming to her eyes) "I won't fight you!" With that, she activated her invisibility powers and went straight to the dungeon that her and Dedede passed earlier.

"What have you done, Dedede?" Meta Knight asked, rage building in his voice.

"What are you going on about?" the king replied stupidly.

Meta knight was furious now, eyes turning blood red. "I mean why did you have to do that?! Couldn't you plainly see that she was wounded and obviously couldn't fight?! Couldn't you see the pain and confusion in her eyes?! Couldn't you?!"

"Well, she was being a coward and chickened out, and that's not under my control."

"Her fleeing was not an act of cowardliness. She did that because she doesn't know who to trust! That's not her fault! The fault is probably yours! Is it your fault, Dedede?! It is, isn't it!? Are all her wounds from you hitting her with that hammer of yours?!

"Uh, NO it's NOT! She already had those when she came to this here castle! I probably made them bleed more, but who cares anyway?!"

"I DO! Hasn't she suffered enough pain?! Can't you tell that she has suffered enough pain!?"

Meta Knight calmed down a bit before replying. "…no, you probably can't tell." He said. He shot a quick glare at Dedede before saying, "You monster. You sick, coldhearted monster." With that, he was off in the direction Dedede had come. After a while, Sword and Blade caught up with their master.

"Sir, where are we heading?" Sword asked.

"To the dungeon." Meta Knight replied.

"But why?" asked Blade.

"Because I have a feeling that demon girl we saw doesn't obey Nightmare."

"Sir, why would she be in the dungeon?"

"Her body is used to the cold of deep space. She's most likely to head some place that's cold."

After a while, the threesome arrived at the dungeon. "You two stay here." Meta Knight commanded Sword and Blade. "I need to confront her alone."
