Tabuu flew past a Sand mound, heading for the Town, believeing Meta Knight to be there. Meanwhile, Meta Knight crawled out the mound. Having improvising sand as a Gauze, he was ready and willing to attack. But not yet.
Hiding from Tabuu, for now, Meta Knight flew backwards, toward where his ship was. Conserving strength, he flew high and straight, dodging the occasional annoying Tripwire. But once he made it to his ship, he was made with a shock.
A creature of humanoid shape, but complete black. A brief look confirmed he was made of Darkness. Carefully, Meta Knight approached.
''Who are you?'' asked Meta Knight.
''Shadow'' growled Shadow, drawing a Steel Sword from a pouch of darkness on it.
Meta Knight got into a defensive stance. Shadow attacked, swinging his sword wildly at Meta Knight. Meta Knight jumped into the air to dodge, and swung his Sword at Shadows. Clipping Shadows Sword, he flicked the Sword upwards. Meta Knight divided low, attempting to Slice Shadows feet.
Shadow was ready, however, and used his Sword to deflect it. Then, he swung his Sword and Meta Knight. Meta Knight divided backward onto a Sand Mound, using his sword desperately to deflect to attack. Meta Knight then dived to the left, dodging a Sword blow. Then, he swung his sword, smashing it into Shadows. Meta Knight then flew forward, kicking the Sword out of Shadows arms. S
Shadow punched Meta Knight out the air, and picked up his sword. Meta Knight used Drill Rush, smashing his Sword into Shadows sword. His body went through Shadows. So did Galaxia. Shadow turned and slashed at Meta Knight, whom narrowly dodged.
Meta Knight took an offensive stance, and dived at Shadow. Shadow swung his sword in a circular motion. Meta Knight deflected, turned in mid-air, and swung his sword into Shadows Head. Shadow raised a Gold Knife to deflect it, and then threw it at Meta Knight.
Meta Knight kicked the Sword away, slightly cutting his unwounded foot. Meta Knight threw this sword in the air. Shadow caught it, but then Meta Knight flew right at him. Caught by surprise at Meta Knight's strange attack, he couldn't stop Meta Knight in time. Meta Knight grabbed both Shadow's Sword and Galaxia. Turning in mid-air, he threw the Sword at Shadows head. But, it went through. Shadow turned slowly.
Realising he couldn't hurt Shadow, Meta Knight took a defensive stance. Shadow then through attack after attack at Meta Knight, whom furiously deflected them. Then Meta Knight flew through Shadows body, turning his ability against him. He positioned himself next to a Tripwire.
Shadow dived at Meta Knight. Meta Knight dodged, and Shadow flung into a Tripwire. Caught in the explosion, Meta Knight was flung to the ground. Shadow, was unaffected.
''Damn'' snarled Meta Knight, and flung angrily at Shadow, whom kicked him back.
''How can you hit me, but I go through you!'' he cried in agony, and dodged a blow. And other. He was being forced back to the Tripwires. Meta Knight flew at Shadow, and grabbed his knife. He turned, and threw it a Shadows legs in an act of desperation. He missed, anyway. Meta Knight flew upward, and flung sand at Shadow. It went through him. Then, Meta Knight noticed Dark Brown patches of 'skin' on the soles of Shadows feet, toes, hands, and where the heart would be.
Unable to think of anything else, Meta Knight launched himself at Shadow. Shadow deflected blow after blow, taking a defensive stance. Meta Knight couldn't directly reach any of the spots of Brown. Shadow, whom had discovered Meta Knight knew his weakness, actually snarled in anger, and grabbed Meta Knight. This was a mistake.
Meta Knight used Mach Tornado, turning himself to flames and sending Shadow back, with agony. Meta Knight then swung his sword, clipping Shadows shoulder and going through. Meta Knight then turned, deflected a sword swing from Shadow, and kicked him in the heart. Staggering back in agony, Meta Knight swiftly stabbed his sword upward, straight into the heart of Shadow.
Shadow was late in defending himself, and his sword hit Galaxia, knocking it out of his hand. But it didn't matter. Shadow fell on his hands, and feet (surprisingly) and then disappeared in an instant.
Meta Knight then grabbed his sword from the ground, and wiped the sand of it. He walked over to where he crashed. There was a bit of Aluminium in various shapes there, as well so Steel.
Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. Turning instantly, he raised his Sword into a defensive stance. All that was there was a dark butterfly. The butterfly flew at him. Confused, Meta Knight used Mach Tornado. He burnt it to death. He came out the Tornado, and then flew upwards. Hopefully, he could fly above Tabuu, and make it to the town first.
''Drill Rush'' he whispered to himself.
