This and the previous chapter were written on my brother's birthday as bonus news! Also, about those two figures, I'll reveal them in this chapter!
Five days after rescuing Fumu and Bun from falling to death, Meta Knight's flying has improved greatly. Warrah, with his light green wind color, flew by Meta Knight's side, letting out a howl just for the heck of it. Kirby watched the two, Fumu, Bun, and BlueDragon sitting beside the pink puff. ShadowMark agreed to practice sword fighting with Sword and Blade, both of them being parried with only a single claw from the midnight colored dragon. Warrah was about to somersault when he sensed a disturbance in the force… I mean, when he sensed trouble. He looked upwards to the sky and hissed, just as Galacta Knight's ship came into view. ShadowMark, Sword Knight, and Blade Knight stopped parrying as the star shaped ship landed down. The group dashed to the ship as it opened up and three figures jumped out. The recognizable one is Galacta Knight, but he brought along two others. "Hope you don't mind that I brought my apprentices, Ax Knight and Mace Knight" At the mention of the two names, Sword and Blade hid behind ShadowMark, who stepped aside. Ax Knight and Mace Knight looked at the other two knights, both of who waved sheepishly to Galacta Knight's apprentices. "H-Hey, brothers…" Sword quietly greeted, surprising everyone else. "Long time no see brothers, but it looks like you're on the enemy side" Mace Knight told the two. Bun whispered to Sword and Blade "Their your brothers? So, you two are brothers?" Blade whispered back "We have three brothers, but we don't know where's the last one" Meta Knight walked up to Galacta Knight "Do you even know what really happened during that ambush?" The angel winged warrior responded by thrusting his lance, Meta Knight easily being able to grab it. A short tug-of-war ensued before the blue warrior let go of the weapon. "You ran away like a coward, you chicken sh-…" "You never did let me finish speaking" Galacta Knight tapped the lance on Meta Knight's mask, the scratch was still visible. "Enough talk, I said I'd get revenge. And I intend to, shrimpy" Meta Knight sighed and unsheathed Galaxia, he always hated it when his brother called him 'shrimpy'. Galacta Knight quickly took to the sky, but Meta Knight was a little hesitant. Unwanted spectators are one issue, but can he really fight his brother? Most likely to the death at that? "What's taking you so long, shrimpy?" …Yeah he can.
Meta Knight flew up to face his brother. They glared at each other, and that's when Meta Knight noticed something off about his angel winged brother. He couldn't think about that for too long as Galacta Knight struck with his lance, Meta Knight pushing it aside with his sword. Meta Knight slashed at Galacta Knight, but stopped before the sword hit the shield. Seizing the opportunity, Galacta Knight sent a wind blast attack at his brother. Meta Knight was blown back by the attack, but not injured. Meta Knight sent back his own wind attack, mini tornadoes that pulled Galacta Knight to the ground. Hitting the ground left the pink warrior dizzy, but he flew back up. Galacta Knight charged to Meta Knight and hit his brother with a wing, knocking the blue warrior back a little. Galacta Knight thrusted his lance at Meta Knight but, once again, his brother grabbed the lance. Meta Knight then spun until a tornado formed and sucked in Galacta Knight. Moments later, Galacta Knight was flung into a tree, which fell from the force of the impact. Now he was really mad, Galacta Knight sent out an air slash which left a cut on Meta Knight's arm. Meta Knight sent out more mini tornadoes but they were dodged as Galacta Knight charged at him, the lance's point aimed at him. Meta Knight let himself fall a few feet as Galacta Knight flew by overhead. Seeing that his attack missed, Galacta Knight summoned fire pillars. Luckily, Meta Knight wasn't directly over one of them but one of his wings was scorched. Meta Knight flapped harder, but he fell anyway. Warrah dashed to catch the knight, who landed on the wolf's head. "Damnit!" Meta Knight yelled as Galacta Knight looked impatient. Down with the others, Sword and Blade felt nervous as Ax Knight and Mace Knight kept looking back at them if they weren't watching the fight. Seeing as the fight was halted, Ax Knight and Mace Knight seemed to drop their serious expressions. Ax Knight asked Sword and Blade "Where were you guys after we split up?" Sword and Blade seemed a little dumbfounded at how their attitudes weren't as bad as Galacta Knight's "We've been with Meta Knight. Let me guess, you two were with Galacta Knight, right?" Blade asked, receiving a nod. "I know having a brother means sibling rivalry, but what if they do kill each other?" Mace asked worriedly. "I'm sure Meta Knight won't kill his brother, but I'm not too sure about Galacta Knight" Sword told the other three, just as someone else approached the four with a robot following behind. The four brothers looked to see who it was. "Trident Knight?! Is that you?!" the four exclaimed. "In the armor. It's been a while" Trident said, the robot hiding behind him. Ax was curious about the robot. "What's that?" Trident stepped aside and told him "I call this fellow Javelin, since he's equipped with a javelin. I made him myself" Javelin froze in place as Blade got closer. "He's shy so he crashes frequently when meeting new people" Trident pushed a button in the robot's back panel and he became functional again. Javelin curiously looked at the fight happening while the five were having their family reunion, Trident seemed confused about the fight but the other four quickly turned to watch.
Meta Knight managed to lift off again, Warrah looking up to the sky as Meta Knight and Galacta Knight slashed, thrusted, and parried each other's attacks. Meta Knight slashed and almost hit one of Galacta Knight's wings, but he dodged it, sliced feathers portrayed how close Galacta Knight was to never flying again. Galacta Knight unleashed a beam whip from the lance's tip and tried multiple times to hit Meta Knight but only a few hits were landed. Meta Knight quickly slashed at Galacta Knight and cut his arms, his face and feet were protected. The angel winged warrior slashed at Meta Knight's mask, the point slicing the mask in half. The pieces landed beside Warrah, who started changing to sky blue. Meta Knight slashed again and split Galacta Knight's shield into two. It was back to a glaring competition… and that's when the bat winged warrior noticed something. Meta Knight distanced himself from his brother and called out "Snap out of it! You've gone crazy!" "Like you have!" BlueDragon yelled back. "And what the hell is that on your wing?!" Meta Knight landed down and reached for the back of his wing and pulled out a small device. It was a small black and purple box; further examination revealed it was created by Nightmare. "That bastard!" Meta Knight yelled as he threw the device to the ground and stomped it, a black-purple mist coming out of the crushed pieces. The winged warrior was so distracted from the device he didn't notice Galacta Knight charging at him. Meta Knight prepared to dodge, but Galacta Knight stopped. The pink warrior turned around to see a bird winged Warrah hissing at him, the wolf had used a move similar to the Feather Gun. White feathers pierced the warrior's back, but it missed something important. Meta Knight stabbed at one of Galacta Knight's wings, destroying a similar device on the brother's wing. "… Ugh, somebody get me the license plate number of that ship that hit me…" Galacta Knight mumbled, snapping out of the device's effect. "Brother, are you okay?" Meta Knight asked. Galacta Knight turned around, red eyes being the only thing visible through his mask. "Hey shrimpy, what happened to your mask?" Meta Knight could've been angered from Galactic Knight calling him 'shrimpy' again but the fact that he didn't have to kill his brother was the only thing in his mind. "Good to have you back, brother"
After giving the two brothers some time to recover from their injuries, there was some explaining to do. "Those devices were made by Nightmare, it was most likely those devices that caused all this chaos" Meta Knight told about the devices. Galacta Knight asked his brother "What happened during that ambush, where were you?" Meta Knight finally has the chance to explain. "At the start of the ambush a demon beast grabbed me and took me behind some bushes, I think that demon beast put the device on me. It took longer than I thought to defeat it, since the demon beasts were chased away and the casualties were being assessed after I killed it" BlueDragon then asked "Did you notice something different about Galacta Knight while he still had that device on him?" "His eyes were an even more intense red than usual, so it seemed out of place" he answered. "Hey, where are you guys going now?" ShadowMark asked Galacta Knight and his apprentices. "Seeing as Kirby, my brother, and his apprentices are here, demon beasts shouldn't be a big problem since there's someone to destroy them. We should go somewhere else" ShadowMark gave a sly smile and told him "Not with your ship cut up by Warrah's Feather Gun" BlueDragon giggled as everyone else realized that Warrah did hit the ship as well. The wolf lowered his ears and whimpered, sorry for destroying the ship. Ax started petting the wolf, which cheered up Warrah. "Looks like we'll be staying for a while" Mace said.
Looks like Meta Knight and Galacta Knight will be OK, no more rampages! Damn, Sword and Blade have a big family! So, is it the end of Clash of Wings?... Not yet! There's still more, perhaps relating to those devices…The rest of the fic is divided between three different storylines; Meta Knight, Galacta Knight, and Warrah are storyline one, Sword, Blade, Ax, Mace, Trident, and Javelin are storyline two, and BlueDragon and ShadowMark are storyline three. As bonus information, Ax Knight is the youngest, then Blade, then Trident, next is Mace, and Sword goes last as I have just ordered them from youngest to oldest. Read my profile for more info on Ax, Mace, Trident, and Javelin. Until next chapter!
