A/N Just to warn you, this chapter features mild Gore. Nothing very serious, but it is fairly descriptive

The explosion sent Meta Knight flying through the air and straight into the ceiling, almost smashing it apart. Falling to the ground, he smashed into the ground below, cracking it apart. Scrambling to his feet, he noticed blood pouring from his body, back and Left Foot. Crawling to his sword, he collapsed in agony, he rolled over to his side, and collapsed by the Castle Walls. Not tripping any Tripwires, luckily, but noticing anything, he fell asleep by the Castle Walls…

Tabuu flew toward the source of the explosion the voice told him to find, as the weird voice inside his head had ordered him too. He was starting to get annoyed with the voice. He wanted to return to where he was, and get revenge on everyone. Especially Sonic and Meta Knight. Sonic, because he stopped him destroying all the smashers at once, and Meta Knight because –

Just as the though came into his mind, the Voice screamed ''BOO!'' in his mind, causing him to cry and agony and fall to the sand.

''What do YOU want!?'' shouted Tabuu aloud.

''Silence'' whispered the Voice, at a high pitch that silenced Tabuu.

''Good'' said the Voice. ''If you do what I say, you will be able to have revenge on all of them, especially Meta Knight''.

''Meta Knight, why him the most?'' asked Tabuu, confused.

''It concerns you not'' answered Tabuu.

Yearning for revenge, Tabuu did not argue. ''Listen to me, Tabuu, he has caused both me and you great pain, so just be quiet, and search for the-'' A small explosion cut of Tabuu, although much closer than the last.

Deciding not to annoy or question Tabuu anymore, he turned the source of the explosion and flew off. Smashing through moulds of sand and digging under tripwires he flew to the source of the hole, but then tripped a tripwire. The explosion send Tabuu smashing into the side of Castle, smashing rocks through the entrance (to the castle). The rocks then fell and smashed onto Meta Knight, still unconscious. Tabuu then fell to the sand in pure agony, his pain threshold seemed to have fallen dramatically. In a lot of pain, he scrambled to his feet, and flew inside. The Voice seemed to have stopped talking to him. Flying over the rocks, clearly in pain, he flew over to the throne. On its seat, he saw a Dark Rock.

''What is that Rock'' he asked aloud.

''That… is… a… Dark… Rock'' the Voice whispered slowly.

''Take it!'' screamed the Voice, causing Tabuu to fall to the ground. On his knees, Tabuu decided to obey the Voice, for now. Picking up the Rock, he felt pleasure surge through him, but the Pleasure wasn't his.

Tabuu turned and began to fly in mid-air, but the Voice suddenly scremed through his mind: ''what is THAT!''.

Falling to the floor in agony, he spotted a Golden Sword. Recognising it as Meta Knight's sword almost instantly, he roared ''Meta Knight, where are you!''.

Meta Knight had been awake for some while under the rocks. Aware of the dangers of confronting Tabuu, in his weakened state, he saw no other option for him. Summoning all his strength, his shoved the rocks off him.

Tabuu turned almost instantly, whipping the location of the noise. Meta Knight reacting instantly, raised his sword to deflect the attack. Tabuu whipped Meta Knight again, Meta Knight diving to the left and using his sword to deflect it. Tabuu fired lasers at Meta Knight. Meta Knight used his sword to deflect the attack, and used Drill Rush on Tabuu desperately.

Tabuu smashed through the Wall of stone, falling in to the Kitchen and knocking 5 Knives off the wall. Deflecting the Knives to the floor with a Whip, he fired a Snapshot at Meta Knight with his Lasers.

Surprised at the attack, Meta Knight was smashed into the Wall and out into the Desert, Tabuu flew out instantly. As he did, Meta Knight jumped into the air, and smashed Tabuu over the head with his sword Galaxia. Tabuu raised his whip and smashed Meta Knight over the head as he flew by, knocking him into the ground.

Tabuu advanced, about to finish Meta Knight off with his Whips. But, as he flew forward, he tripped a Tripwire, smashing himself up in the air, and into edge of the Roof. Dropping the Dark Stone in the process. Not really thinking, Meta Knight dived forwards, catching the Dark Stone.

While Tabuu was crawling to his feet on the roof top, Meta Knight flew away as fast as he could, barely dodging the Tripwires. Banking Port, he noticed a town of some sort. Flying towards it, he tripped a tripwire with his wounded foot. Just stopping himself from screaming in agony, he flew put of site, and decided to hide in a Sand Mound. He was too tired and wounded to do anything more. Bleeding badly in main places, he collapsed in what was now Red Sand…

''The Dark Stone'' the Voice Screamed loudly. ''Find it, FIND IT''.

In too much pain, he sought out the Dark Stone, and Meta Knight. Banking left, he looked for signs of Meta Knight. And, the mysterious Dark Stone.
