Sorry for the lack of an update, but I my bearded dragon lizards come first, they've been sick but their better now! Also, to my first reviewer meta scythe, sorry if that response was a little too smart-alecky, it was supposed to be a little smart-alecky for humor but factual so no one else will think it's a lame excuse. Anyway, here's the long overdue chapter 3!
Meta Knight looked down through the hole and noticed that Dedede and Escargon had fallen on top of Waddle Doo and several unlucky Waddle Dees as more Waddle Dees crowded around the heap. Although he wasn't sure, he stepped back slowly as he thought what happened was his fault (and it was!). He bumped into BlueDragon and quickly turned around to see the other four getting up as they awoke. "Wasn't that a little harsh, Sir Meta Knight?" Fumu asked him as he noticed her and Bun. "I thought it was cool" Bun admitted. Meta Knight looked back at the collapsed wall and told them "The idiots are still alive, tough luck" He left the castle with Sword, Blade, and Warrah, the three of them weaving from dizziness as if they were drunk, following close behind. Fumu had noticed something different but couldn't tell. BlueDragon then whispered to her "Did you notice that his eyes were red when he was beating up Dedede and Escargon? Did you also notice his eyes were red when he told you about the two?"
Meta Knight glided over the three as his flight was improving, but he still couldn't manage staying airborne. "Think Dedede's pissed off about what Meta Knight did?" Blade asked Sword but Meta Knight answered with "Who cares!" as he continued trying to fly but crashed into Warrah, tripping the wolf and he fell on the knight. Quickly standing back up, Warrah stepped away as Meta Knight glared at him. Seeing this, Sword asked "Sir, are you alright?" Shaking his head (errr, body) he replied "Yes…" Truthfully, he wasn't sure. Now he remembered when he attacked the king and his henchman. He got on the tree branch again as Kirby and BlueDragon arrived before Fumu and Bun. The winged knight looked at the two and sighed quietly, if Fumu was with them she would probably question him. He didn't want to be bothered now. Attempting to stay aloft again, he crash landed on Sword after he stopped paying attention. Blade chuckled as Sword and Meta Knight got up. Sword stepped back, expecting to get a glare but instead he and Blade noticed that Meta Knight was lost in thought. BlueDragon said "You're not the only one who's head is in the clouds" Snapping back to reality, the bat winged knight made another attempt to fly, but almost crashed on BlueDragon, who quickly grabbed one of his wings and remarked "Pervert" as Meta Knight almost crashed on the dragon's chest. Letting go of the knight, she flapped her wings and rose to the sky… with Meta Knight's mask in her right hand! Seeing this, he tried to lift off from his spot, but he couldn't get off from flat land. He got on and jumped off a tree branch and only managed to hover in place, he wasn't really going anywhere. BlueDragon giggled and looked through the mask, her green eyes shining back yellow green in the mask. She lowered the mask and blew a raspberry at the knight. Kirby looked bewildered as Warrah stood up and changed light green. Blade looked to Sword, puzzled at what was going on. Sword, thinking for a moment, then said "I think she's trying to encourage Meta Knight to try harder, I just wished she tried it in a different way" BlueDragon waved the mask around and shouted "You want it? It's yours, my friend! As long as you have enough…!" BlueDragon narrowly dodged a wind based slicing attack from Meta Knight, she copied the attack back but the wind only pushed the knight to the ground. Deciding that it was unsafe now to continue taunting she dropped the mask. After putting his mask back on he realized that everyone else, including Fumu and Bun who finally arrived, were staring. Feeling uncomfortable, Meta Knight retreated into the tree and made sure the leaves kept him hidden.
'What's going on?' Meta Knight thought as BlueDragon called out "You're mad balls f(expletive) insane!" He looked out from his hiding spot and saw BlueDragon right in front of him and in his face. He yelped from surprise before falling off the branch. Flapping his wings once he got up and glared at BlueDragon, who just smiled back at him. "Why'd you call our lord insane?" Blade commanded more than asked the dragon. She only shrugged, not wanting to say anything, and whispered to Meta Knight "Be careful about what you think, I can't tell you how but I can read minds" (It should be obvious to all you reading this how she can read minds). Feeling a little creeped, he attempted to fly again, ignoring Fumu as she tried to ask him all sorts of questions he wasn't paying attention to, how could he since he kept crashing into everyone! After crashing yet again he tried to get back on the tree but someone grasped his arm. 'Oh sh(expletive)" he turned to see Fumu, who looked pretty mad. "CoughYou'reinforitnowcough!" BlueDragon 'coughed' as Fumu questioned him "What happened back there? Was it a demon beast?" Meta Knight sighed in defeat and told her "I think… it's the wings" She let go of Meta Knight as he continued "I'm not entirely sure if I should be blaming my wings for this but since I revealed them it's like… how can I describe this…" He couldn't find the right words. Kirby slowly approached and poked one of the older star warrior's wings, getting a red glare from Meta Knight. Kirby didn't back down from the glare, he asked "Wings' fault, poyo?" Meta Knight's eyes changed from red to orange. "I'm just making a guess to be honest" BlueDragon seemed to know something, but she kept quiet. "If it is the wings, then isn't it risky to continue trying to fly?" Fumu asked but Bun had remembered about one thing. "What about Galacta Knight, he said he'd be back" Warrah, having changed back to magenta, barked his opinion. Luckily BlueDragon understood what he said. "The wolf says 'If that challenge isn't accepted, things could get ugly'" Meta Knight looked back at his leathery wings and thought 'Things can't get any worse…"
Dedede and Escargon, both covered in bandages, stomped (well, Dedede did the stomping) into the throne room and called Holy Nightmare Co. "What happened to you two, did you lose a fight against a blue jackal?" (Guess where I got the blue jackal from) Ignoring that, the king immediately requested "Give me a demon beast that can get a little revenge done. I'll pay any price! (Liar alert!)" Searching for a demon beast, Customer Service can already guess who Dedede wants revenge on, he noticed one. He's a contract demon beast, but he'll do. "How about this one, he's ShadowMark" Moving aside from the screen to show a black colored dragon similar in appearance to BlueDragon but with a red belly, fiery red eyes, purple wings, red horns, and white x mark on his right leg, a 'purple flame' tipped tail, and a white scar like mark over his right eye. ShadowMark examined Dedede and remarked "I have to work for fat ass here?" Escargon whispered to Dedede, he had a plan, and Dedede told Customer Service "He's disrespectful, but I'll take him!" Seconds later stood the dragon of darkness in Castle Dedede.
Looks like Dedede wasn't too happy about Meta Knight beating him up. What is this dragon capable of? Why does he look so alike to BlueDragon? And could the wings be why he's acting so strange? That you'll find out later! Also, just to let you know, but I'm sure many already know this; Meta Knight displays his emotions depending on eye color. As far as I know these are the colors: Yellow is normal, Green is serious or thoughtful, Blue is happiness or pride, Red is anger or sensing danger, Pink is amusement, and Dark Yellow is asleep or unconscious. From a few other sites I read that Purple meant embarrassment or that he'd been mislead but I'm not too sure if it's true (I haven't seen all the Hoshi no Kirby anime episodes yet…) but I'll include it in the list of colors to expect in this fic. The other two colors I thought of for this fic are Orange for unsure or confused and White for surprise or fear (you'll see why he'll have a reason to be afraid). Also, I'll add the color Dark Blue for sorrow or depression but I just got this color idea from another fic (hope you don't mind Minimewtwo!) Until next chapter!
