Chapter 6

Author's note: Hey guys and girls! Sorry for the abrupt ending of the previous chapter. I think I'll edit this story and add to that chapter. I was going to have Dedede and Escargoon go into the dungeon to start their TV broadcast, but I wasn't sure how to put Escargoon into a SERIOUS story. Yeah, this chapter takes place after that, so don't mind the time skip and enjoy this chapter!

The King and the snail left to the large room that was reserved for the broadcast of television shows. The she-demon deactivated her invisibility powers, and Meta Knight teleported back into the room. "Sir?" the she-demon asked.

"Yes?"

"I heard that fat penguin guy talk about this guy named Kirby back in the room with the teleporter. Who is her or she?" The knight stopped cold when she said this.

"Oh, no…" he whispered in a voice so soft that one could barely hear it. Both were silent for a few moments. "Did you hear anything else?" he interrogated.

"He wanted me to kill him. Or her, I'm not sure which gender this person is. But the thing is I don't want to kill innocent people! It's wrong and demented, I'm not sure why so many people want me to! It's…it's like I was born to murder…"

"Just what I thought…" the knight thought. "Don't follow his command, Kirby is an innocent male child."

"What?!" the she-demon angrily exclaimed, eyes turning blood red in anger. "It's one thing to kill an adult, but killing off children—innocentchildren I should add – is quite another!"

"Yes, he's been wanting to kill him for over two and a half of this planets years now." the knight sighed.

"…I'm honestly not sure of the real reason. It could be many things, jealousy, childhood abuse, and etcetera. But out of all of these, I think the most likely is that he doesn't understand why everyone thinks positively of Kirby, but not of him."

"But why doesn't anyone think positively of him?"

"He was always a cruel, abusive, greedy ruler, rumored to have killed the previous ruler for power. He almost killed the boy the first time he laid his eyes on him."

"Well, why do you work for him then?"

"The only reason I came to this planet was to look out for other Star Warriors who may land on this planet, and so far I've been successful."

"Is Kirby a Star Warrior?"

"Yes."

"And does the King like Star Warriors?"

"No."

"Are you a Star Warrior?"

"Yes."

"Does the King know that?"

The knight chuckled before saying his next statement, eyes turning pink with amusement. "No, he doesn't seem to catch on quickly, unlike you." The she-demon chuckled, eyes turning pink as well. Suddenly, even more pain slowly flooded the many wounds of the she-demon, causing her to moan in pain. "You need to get those wounds bandaged up." The knight said.

"No, it's fine if you just leave me here to die…at least I won't be constantly tortured by Nightmare…anymore…" the she-demon replied.

"You don't deserve to die so early in your life." Silence overcame the two once more. The knight felt the she-demon's head. She had a high fever. "What's your name, child?"

"I have none." The knight looked intently at the demon child. He knew she wanted to be on the side of the Star Warriors.

He just wasn't sure whether she would survive that long.

The knight touched her arm, only to find it being violently jerked away. "I won't hurt you." The knight whispered. "The poor girl," he thought. "she's like a flame, faintly glowing in this universe of darkness."

"Ah," he thought.

"The perfect name."

"Flame." He said aloud. "That shall be your name."

"Thank you…thank you so much…" Flame responded, becoming unconscious.

Author's Note: FINALLY! (gasp) (pant) (gasp) (pant) (gasp) (BARF) THAT CHAPTER WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO TYPE! Wow. I was originally going to have chapters 3, 4, 5, and this one all be one chapter. Well, I HOPE YOU LIKES! Also, I'm working on a truth or dare crossover story. One of the categories is going to be Kirby, and I'm not quite sure what the other one is going to be, because it's a multiple crossover. SO, REVIEW, PM AND ALL THAT! Also, did I mention that I'm typing this while in the car going home from my grandparent's house? REVIEW AND STUFF AND BE SURE NOT TO MISS MY TRUTH OR DARE COMING SOON!
