Meta Knight's True Power: Book 1: A Voice Inside: Chapter 18: Labyrinth Part III
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Bros, or anything related to it.
A/N I have come up with a name for the series (although not the sequel). It may be a bit 'spoilerish', so let me know if you want me to tell you. If you do, I will just add an Authors Note to a Chapter. And, I guess, update my Profile. With the new info in it.
A/N 2 This quite a long chapter, this one. Well, not really a long one, but for this story it is. 1K+. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.
Meta Knight smashed his sword into Tabuu, smashing the latter into the wall. Tabuu fired laser after laser beam at Meta Knight, whom deflected all of them. Meta Knight fired a powerful thunderbolt which was cancelled out my Tabuu's Whip.
Tabuu swung the whip in question toward Meta Knight. Meta Knight dodged, and then used Drill Rush, smashing Tabuu into the wall. Before Tabuu could recover, Meta Knight used Mach Tornado, pushing Tabuu across the hard floor. ''Haven't done that in a why'' said Meta Knight to himself, though only he could hear.
Tabuu fired a powerful beam of light at Meta Knight. Meta Knight dived to the left and used his sword to deflect it to the right. Tabuu fired again, Meta Knight back flipped off the ground and deflected it away with the tip of his sword. Tabuu fired again, relentless. Meta Knight front flipped over it, and in mid-air fired a beam of lighting toward Tabuu, knocking him over.
Meta Knight back flipped over Tabuu's counter: A whip swing, and used Mach Tornado. With the intense heat keeping Tabuu at bay, Meta Knight sliced at Tabuu's knee's ruthlessly. Tabuu kicked out.
Meta Knight retreated, using his wings. Tabuu used his laser beams to try and clip them, and just missed (thanks to Meta Knight's quick reflexes). Tabuu fired again. Meta Knight got up, deflecting it with ease.
Tabuu snarled, and used his off-waves. Meta Knight dived in front of Katar, and protected them both with his swords, and thunderbolts. Meta Knight then dived, and slashed Tabuu round the head, knocking him to the ground.
Meta Knight collapsed to the ground in a heap. Tabuu used his whip, swinging at Meta Knight. The latter, releasing he couldn't dodge, and grabbed hold of the whip and swung it into the wall. This act nearly ripped Meta Knight's hand off, and now Meta Knight had a massive gash on his hand.
Blood hitting the ground, Meta Knight swung his sword with such might that he nearly threw it, and smashed it into Tabuu's head. Tabuu was, strangely, caught unawares and knocked out. Orange blood was dripping from his head, along with some black liquid.
Meta Knight glanced at his hand, and back at his sword. ''One-handed for me then'' muttered Meta Knight, running over to the Wolf.
By now, Katar was fine, but still backed off when Meta Knight approached.
''Why did you attack me'' demanded Meta Knight, sword poised angrily.
''I needed to see if you could beat me, because if you couldn't there's no way you could beat the Voice'' said Katar.
''The-'' Meta Knight began, but was cut off.
''It matters not now, but will soon''. Katar got up, and ran swiftly off, Meta Knight in quick pursuit.
''Can you stop talking in such damn cryptic language'' demanded Meta Knight.
''Do you trust me?'' asked Katar, voice level.
''No'' said Meta Knight. ''But don't take that personally, for I don't trust most people, if any''.
''You will soon'' said Katar.
''Your reasoning behind that statement?'' asked Meta Knight coldly.
''I will train you, and teach you, and you will kill the Voice'' said Katar.
''The voice?'' asked Meta Knight.
''I will explain it to you, soon'' said Katar.
''Tell me know'' demanded Meta Knight.
''I was, and technically still am, the king of the universe, Knight, I do not need to explain myself to you'' said Katar coldly.
Meta Knight turned swiftly, and walked up to the wall. Ignoring Katar's shouts, he noticed a symbol of a Dark stone on it. Smirking, Meta Knight slashed it with his sword. The fake wall came down, and there was the dark stone.
''You knew'' whispered Katar.
''I read your last words'' said Meta Knight. ''Yet you're not dead''.
''I did die, but I was brought back, to help you'' replied Katar swiftly.
''To help me with what'' said Katar.
''Kill the-'' started Katar.
''I get it'' cut off Meta Knight.
''Really?'' questioned Katar.
''I get everything I need to know'' said Meta Knight. Noticing a faint light in the distance, he flew toward it. Katar silently followed. Reaching the end of the Labyrinth, Meta Knight walked out, keeping an eye out.
''Are you going to follow me'' asked Meta Knight. ''Not that I mind too much''.
''Yes'' was the reply.
''Well, at least someone will be watching my back properly'' muttered Meta Knight. Looking up at the sky, he noticed a Jet funnel far off. Taking advantage of Katar, Meta Knight decided to walk to Jet Stream. Plus, his wings were aching.
Katar walked out. ''Are you always a wolf, or is this just a new form your trying out?'' asked Meta Knight.
''Why would I try out a new form, if I even have any?'' asked Katar in reply.
This response took Meta Knight by surprise. ''I guess I just assumed that as a God you could take on a new form. I know its unlikely you could do absolutely everything, like the legends suggest, but still…'' Meta Knight trailed off.
''You are correct on all counts'' said Katar.
''Really?'' asked Meta Knight, momentarily surprised.
''Yes, and a Wolf isn't my only form, although it is my favourite. I can turn in nearly everything'' said Katar.
''What can't you turn into?'' asked Meta Knight, curious. He ducked under some rocks.
''Just one thing. A Human'' replied Katar.
''A Human?'' asked Meta Knight, very confused by this answer.
''Yes'' answered Katar.
''You can turn into a wolf, too'' said Katar.
Meta Knight nearly choked on his only tongue at that remark. ''I can?'' asked Meta Knight.
''Yes, although it requires great training'' replied Katar.
''Can you teach me?'' asked Meta Knight without thinking.
''Yes'' answered Katar, before Meta Knight could take back his last comment.
''I know it sounds cliché, but you must learn the ways of the wolf'' said Katar.
Before Meta Knight could ask something else, they had reached the Jet Stream funnel. Well, they were underneath it at least. Katar wordlessly turned into a Peregrine Falcon.
Meta Knight was stunned, although he tried not to show it. He knew Katar noticed, however.
''Ready?'' asked Katar.
''I guess'' said Meta Knight flying up and a slow face. Katar followed suit.
