Here's chapter 5, this is really important. As the fic takes place in the Shadow Dimension, ShadowMark starts revealing his relationship with BlueDragon and why she's the only one who can cure Meta Knight's Nightmare Rift affliction.
Outside the castle, Kirby, Sword Knight, Blade Knight, and Warrah watched as ShadowMark opened a hole into the Shadow Dimension. The black dragon jumped into the portal as the others followed behind.
When they made it into the Shadow Dimension they couldn't see anything, it was pitch black. The others couldn't see it, but ShadowMark and other similar dragons or native species can see perfectly in this dimension. It was a moonless night prairie; a tranquil river flowed with a wooden bridge linking one side to the other. ShadowMark howled eerily, almost like a wolf but deeper in pitch, and a pure white crescent moon casted a beautiful glow on the prairie, the river sparkled with the lovely moonlight. "Figures, should've guessed my sister would choose to come to Moon River Prairie" The two knights were surprised to hear what the dragon of darkness said. "BlueDragon is your sister?!" Sword more exclaimed than asked. "Yeah, and she just loves this place. Only dragons like me or the native species can see and travel in the Shadow Dimension. Anyone else will be blinded and held in place by the shadows. Since I brought you four with me you have free movement" Kirby looked up at the moon, then to the river and he smiled at how the river sparkled white from the pale moonlight. ShadowMark sniffed around and followed wherever BlueDragon had gone, it didn't take long as the trail ended in the river. "I'm not going in, I can't breathe underwater, anyone here can?" ShadowMark asked. Warrah lapped up some water to test the salinity and turned blue, his tail splitting into a furry fish shape. He stretched and plunged into the moonlit river. The others sat down, waiting. "Anyone ever hear about the parrot named Chet?" He started to tell a joke, grabbing the others' attentions.
Warrah swished his tail as he propelled himself, following the current. He already picked up the dragoness's scent so he knew he was heading in the right direction. He traveled for a few minutes before the scent was out of the water. He jumped out and was in a cave with only an underwater entrance to get in and out. He stayed blue just in case and sauntered deeper into the cave. The cave had two different scents, one was BlueDragon's and the other was unfamiliar. He followed the scents until he heard a sneeze, stepping back as a purple liquid almost splashed on the wolf. BlueDragon cried out to the larger dragon "Mom! Don't poison the wolf!" BlueDragon's mother, a purple dragon with black horns, a pink belly, blue wings, blue eyes, a dark blue 'flame' which was really poisonous gas, and a pink Christmas angel mark on her right leg. "Sorry, I'm allergic to dogs" the dragon apologized. "Warrah, this is my mother, LilyWing" The purple dragoness stepped away from the wolf before sneezing again. "Let's get out before her eyes pop out of their sockets" BlueDragon told the wolf as they both left the dragoness who left the Shadow Dimension her own way, disappearing into a puff of dark blue smoke.
Sword, Blade, and Kirby stared at ShadowMark after he told one particularly sick and twisted joke. He laughed for a bit before he noticed the others weren't laughing. "How about a joke my dad told me, how'd it go again?" Then a gray dragon with red horns, black wings, gray eyes, a purple belly, a flame tipped tail, and a white check mark on his right leg landed next to ShadowMark. The dragon was only a little larger than ShadowMark, and he smelled of smoke. "There was a boy named Pepe who would inherit his grandmother's estate, but he had to promise to take care of her parrot. He agreed and thought it would be easy but he found out the parrot had a foul mouth. When he moved to his grandmother's fancy mansion the parrot would curse up a storm so they were kicked out. When he moved back to his old neighborhood the parrot got him in trouble again so he moved to a very bad ghetto. Once again, the parrot bad mouthed the tough kids and they beat up Pepe. His friend offered him 'I have a really big tabby, it's like a tiger, and we can put them in a drum and have my cat eat the bird'. When the bird and the cat started fighting in the drum the parrot called out 'Pepe please!' after hearing the bird's distress Pepe thought about how the parrot belonged to his grandmother and opened up the drum to save the bird, but the bird said 'Pepe please don't stop, I've never f(expletive)ed a cat so good in my life!'" The other four laughed when Warrah and BlueDragon emerged from the water. "Anyone missed us? Hi dad!" BlueDragon gave the gray dragon a hug and introduced him "This is my dad, AshFang!" AshFang let out some smoke before leaving the Shadow Dimension in a blaze of fire. Before ShadowMark left with the others BlueDragon bitchslapped his face. "What was that for?" ShadowMark asked. "That's for using Nightmare Rift on Meta Knight, Warrah told me so don't make up any excuses and there are three other witnesses" Blade then told the blue dragoness "Actually, ShadowMark confessed that he used Nightmare Rift on Sir Meta Knight" BlueDragon then said "Let's get out before anything in this dimension finds us" The group left, ShadowMark leaving in a wisp of shadowy mist and BlueDragon taking the others with her in a mist of frost. But they weren't alone as something else left the Shadow Dimension with them.
Fumu and Bun stayed with Meta Knight, he didn't look any better than he did twenty minutes ago, which was when ShadowMark took the four with him to the Shadow Dimension. "How much longer are they going to be in that stupid dimension?" Bun complained from impatience. "Just wait, Bun. They're probably coming back now" Fumu told her brother, just before the other six entered the room. BlueDragon turned her attention to Meta Knight and remarked "Wow, what a wreck. He's in worse condition than the Titanic" She gestured for the others to step aside as she formed a small ball of really pale blue, almost white, light in her mouth, grabbed it and held it in between her hands as it grew in size before tossing it at the knight. When the ball hit Meta Knight a blue glow briefly enveloped him before dying away. When the ball disappeared Meta Knight stopped shivering and his eyes returned to the usual yellow glow. "Isn't Dream Rift nifty?" BlueDragon said, happy to assist. But then Meta Knight revealed his wings and his yellow eyes turned red. The others stepped back as Meta Knight took Galaxia out of its scabbard. "Oh shi-!" BlueDragon only had enough time to say this much before they were running for their lives from a crazy sword beam slinging puffball. When they were outside the castle they saw a shadowy figure, a draconic figure, before it turned into a shadow and 'flew' off. "Oh no! How'd that Shadow Morph Dragon get here?" BlueDragon and ShadowMark completely forgot about Meta Knight and chased the Shadow Morph Dragon. The others followed behind as Meta Knight tried to catch up and slice them. BlueDragon and ShadowMark stopped at Kabu Canyon before they fell into it. They looked around and noticed they were now surrounded by the dragon and Meta Knight. Stuck between a sword and a jaw full of teeth.
Cliffhanger! Sorry but I had to, I was running out of ideas! Meta Knight's gone crazy and a Shadow Dimension native dragon has escaped into Pupupuland! Also, BlueDragon, ShadowMark, and other similar dragons can go in and out of the Shadow Dimension, which really isn't a bad place if you're a dragon/ have a dragon buddy. ShadowMark is the dragon that can place portals to the Shadow Dimension wherever he wants, that's how he got BlueDragon transported into the dimension. Until the next chapter!
