Meta Knight slowly reached the atmosphere of the fiery planet. He occasionally had to dodge Lava Snipers, but he was out of their range now. Glancing at his wounded side, he winced occasionally. The sooner he could leave this heat source, the better.
As he prepared to join a Jet Stream, he noticed another Shadow, similar to the one on the water planet. However, this one appeared to have wings. Before he could consider this new development, the Shadow instantly flew at him with an Iron Sword. Meta Knight flew downward, dodging the attack. Swinging his sword upward, he glanced the weak spot of the Shadow. He heard an angry wince.
Knowing he couldn't fly any lower because of the pesky snipers, he flew back up, swinging his Sword at the Shadows heart. He came very close too. The Shadow got out a Shotgun, seemingly from nowhere, and began firing. Meta Knight deflected the shots, and flew downward into Shadow. Flying through the Shadow, he flicked his sword and sliced into his enemies' heart. Although, not hard enough.
Shadow kicked Meta Knight downward. Almost immediately, the small knight was fired upon by Snipers, and shadow. Deflecting all the sniper shots with ease, he back flipped over Shadows shot. Turning quickly, he deflected Shadows second shot, then third. He moved ever closer to Shadow with every shot.
Waiting for a break in shooting, Meta Knight prepared his thunderbolt. However, there wasn't a break. Fed up, Meta Knight flew downward and up in an arc. Meta Knight deflected the shots, and fired a Thunderbolt into Shadow. Shadow couldn't dodge quick enough, and had his heart clipped.
Shadow was winded, and while he recovered, Meta Knight fired a Thunderbolt into Shadows wings. He appeared to hit the weak spot, and Shadow screamed in agony and fell out the sky.
Meta Knight turned, and fell into the Jet Stream. He noticed with happiness that there was a direct route to the Rock Planet. His heart fell, however, when that planet was isolated without it. He would have to fly through a maze of random Jet Streams to make it to the fifth. Sighing, he flew through the Jet Stream, making his way to the planet.
However, without warning, he heard shots. Recognising them as shots from Samus Aran's ship, he turned and fired his Thunderbolt. Smashing into the cockpit off Samus, he nearly sent her into space. Knowing that would kill her, he had a decision to make. Kill her, or let her live. He knew she deserved to die, but had a hunch she was just doing her job. With his history on the front lines sixth months ago, he knew that there was as someone out there who wanted him dead, and she is a Bounty Hunter.. In fact, if he was right, he knew exactly who would have ordered her to kill him.
Before he could continue his internal debate, she fired on him again. He dodged, and flew away to the planet. She fired on him. He quickly turned, dodged, and fired a weak thunderbolt at her engines. He heard a small explosion, and smiled. She was dead in the water.
But more shots fired at him, which he barely dodged. Realising she still had weapon control, he flew toward the rock planet, attempting to get away from her bullets. However, he knew her ship had massive weapon range.
After barely dodging the shots, he had had enough. He turned, and fired another weak thunderbolt. It clipped the side of Samus's ship, and damaged half her weapons. He fired another similar weapon, disabling all her weapons. ''Last Chance'' he shouted, hoping she could hear him but knowing there was no way she could.
Smiling to himself, he turned and flew toward the planet. As he entered the atmosphere, he saw hundreds of sharp rocks, caves, and mountains.
''Not good for flying'' he said aloud, and flew to the planet's surface. I have to start somewhere, he thought.
