A/N: It's time we see Lucario bust some heads. Meta Knight's head, to be exact! And I had another hard time trying to decide how this chappy will roll. I've been reading some slash fics. A lot of slash fics. Well, fics mainly featuring a certain pairing that is underrated. At least I think it's underrated.

Lucario stormed down the halls. "Meta Knight! Come out!"

His yell echoed throughout the mansion. "Where the hell are you?! Come out, now!"

He looked around. No one. He exhaled. He searched the whole mansion, but only found scared smashers who were hiding. He asked him is they had seen Meta Knight, but they said no. Lucario cursed under his breath as he entered the dining room, his breath hitched when he saw a folded note in front of a plate. With food.

The food in question was a perfectly squared sandwhich with two crackers at the side, and a glass of water sat next to the dish. Lucario blinked. Thinking the food is poisoned, he read the note.

Lucario,

Ah. Finally. Someone to face in combat. Why don't you eat up before we battle?

Don't worry. It's not poisonous. I'm a fair fighter.

Meet me in front of the Smash Mansion when you think you're ready.

I'm very excited for our fight.

Oh, and don't chicken out.

If you do, and you hide...

I will find you.

-Meta Knight

Lucario exhaled. He looked at the food, and gulped. "S-So... It's not poisonous, huh?"

He plucked the sandwich from the plate. He waited a few minutes before taking a bite. He was relieved to see that it really wasn't poisoned. He swallowed the food gleefully. He then drank the water.

He took a few breathes, then to the front door. But with every step he took, he felt his strength drain. Right as he reached the door, he began panting heavily.

D-Damn it. Wh-What a liar! There was something in that food that... He mused to himself. That drained my... my strength.

He shook his head. "C-Can't give up yet!"

He slammed the door opened, and sure enough, Meta Knight was there. However, his mask was not on his face. It was not there. Lucario wished it was. Meta Knight's face had the perfect look of an insane person. His eyes were red, and did not have the light of life in it. His smile was that of a chesire cat, and had fangs as well. The dark, indigo hair was messy, and covered with blood.

"M-Meta Knight."

"Lucario. Glad you can make it."

"Y-You... You put something... In that food..."

Meta Knight arched his eyebrow. "What? Are you suggesting that I cheated? Me?"

"M-My strength... It's d-draining. It b-began to drain after I ate the food."

Meta Knight chuckled. "Oh. How sad."

He pointed his blade at the weakened smasher. "But a battle is still a battle."

Lucario growled and managed to get back up on his feet, but he was still panting heavily. He exhaled, and stood still for a few seconds, before yelling, "Aura Sphere!"

The blue... uh, sphere hurdled towards the knight, who simply evaded. He smirked and charged at the younger bluenette, kneeing him in the chest. Lucario gasped and fell on knees, panting. Meta Knight smiled and backed away, looking at the weakened smasher. Oh, he was enjoying the pain the other was facing. Meta Knight snicked as he did a Mach Tornado on the once Pokemon, giving him even more pain. The knight then used his drill attack to bring further damage.

And Lucario was having a difficult time fighting back. The knight was too fast. And too strong. Not to mention the once Pokemon's strength has been drained due to the food he consumed. So now all he can do is get his ass handed to him while trying his best to stay conscious. Getting smacked around by a knight's sword is not fun. Not fun at all. It is scathing!

Now granted, Lucario did manage to avoid some attacks, and he did manage to land a few attacks of his own, but most of the time he got tossed around. He grunted and moaned in pain and agony as he got ruthlessly attacked by the now deranged knight. He wondered why no one bothered to come out to his rescue. Sure, that would mean risking their own lives, but they're going to save their friend! Then again... They would be up against a crazy knight. Okay, it's understandable now!

"C-Can you get back to n-narrating, miss?" Lucario choked as he landed on his back.

Huh? Oh! Right. My apologies. Anyhow... Uh... Oh! Now I remember!

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. "L-Lucario! Gr-Grab this!"

The injured smasher scrambled to his feet. In the doorway of the mansion, was the injured Pikachu. The blonde's bangs clung to his face, as if he were sweating. He was also breathing heavily. He fell to his knees, then threw something. A berry. A Sitrus Berry. Lucario gasped. He knew what Pikachu meant. The berry was going to heal him. The bluenett thought fast. He ran and managed to catch the berry, which he quickly ate.

Meta Knight frowned, but still wanted a fight. He ran up the Lucario, ready to stab him. However, the once Pokemon regained his strength. He swiftly avoided the attack smiling. He threw another Aura Sphere at Meta Knight, which managed to land on its target. The knight was slightly dazed. Lucario ran up to Pikachu.

"H-Hey. Ar-Are you alright?... P-Pikachu!" Lucario cried.

The blonde simple moaned. "I... U-Uh... S-Somewhat."

"Wh-What about Wolf and Falco?"

"I-I... I'm... not... s-s... sure." Pikachu passed out.

Lucario was officially pissed. He glared at Meta Knight, filled with intent to critically injure him.

Lucario let out a battle cry then threw nothing but a flurry of Aura Spheres at the knight. Meta Knight exhaled as he placed his mask back on. He managed to dodge the first few, but the rest... Yeah, he got hit. How much Aura Spheres hit him? Oh! About... uh... twenty-five? Maybe thirty. You decide.

Meta Knight groaned as he managed to stay on his feet, despite being hit with powerful attacks. He growled and charged at Lucario, ready to spill some blood. The knight tried to jab his oppponent with his weapon, but the attacks were evaded. All of them. Lucario managed to knee Meta Knight in his stomach, causing him to crumple to his knees. Lucario then proceeded to do a downwards kick on the knight's head, which ended up with the masked smasher gasping and falling unsconcious. Lucario panted, and fell on his butt. He exhaled.

"Wh-Whew... Finally. It's over. I-I think he should be back to normal." He said to himself.

"L-Lucario?" A voice whimpered.

"O-Oh! Pikachu!" Lucario ran up to the blonde. "A-Are you alright, now?"

Pikachu nodded weakly. "I-I guess. Wh-What about Meta Knight?"

"H-He should be okay." Lucario said, then added, "I hope."

"P-Pikachu! L-L-Lucario! They're both alive!" A cheery voice cried.

It belonged to Yoshi. The green head was smiling.

"You didn't die!" He cheered as he ran up to them to give them hugs.

"Is Meta Knight back to normal?" He asked.

Pikachu looked at the unconscious knight. "Lucario thinks so. Meta Knight just got knocked out. He should be fine when he wakes up."

"Th-That's good to know." A somewhat gruff voice stated.

"Oh! Wolf!... And Falco, too!" Pikachu exclaimed.

Falco was slumped over the once lupine's shoulders.

"W-Well, it's good to know that he's no longer crazy." Falco remarked.

"Y-Yeah." Wolf added.

Lucario approached them. "Are you two alright, now?"

"I guess. My head still hurts." Wolf explained.

"Same here..." Falco said.

"Alright. What about the others?" Lucario asked.

"Incognito and okay." Wolf replied.

There was a groan. It belonged to Meta Knight. The masked smasher slowly got to his feet. He looked at the others, and lowered his head.

"... I... I am... S-So... So... S-Sorry!" He cried as he crumpled back to my knees. "G-Get the Ancient Minister... S-so... I can be punished... I deserve to be... F-for... Hurting you."

Pikachu cocked his head. He walked up to the indigo head. "H-Hey. Don't feel blue. I understand why you're so frustrated with yourself. You did hurt your friends."

He sat next to the sad knight. "But you couldn't take the arguments. I'd get annoyed by them, too."

Meta Knight sighed. "B-But... I... hurt... you... all."

"Damn right ya did!" Wolf and Falco hissed. Lucario slapped them.

Pikachu exhaled. "Look, Meta Knight. I understand that you're seriously feeling depressed. I mean, injuring your best friends is pretty painful. And not cool. But, again, you were on the brink of insanity. Your mind was clouded. You had no choice."

He patted the knight's head. "So... Don't worry. If you need to calm down and need a punishment... Stay in your room. Calm yourself down. Stay away from the others for a while. You know? Isolation."

Meta Knight blinked. "I-Isolation?"

Pikachu nodded. "Yup! I'll bring food to you if you ever get hungry. Once you feel like you've been isolated enough, you can come out. Okay?"

Meta Knight sighed. "Oh. I see what you mean. Al-Alright."

The knight slowly got up to his feet, nodding. "Alright. I'll stay in isolation. Until I can calm myself and fully acknowledge and foret about what I have done, I'll isolate myself."

He slowly sauntered back to the mansion in silence.

Pikachu exhaled. "Man... I thought he was going to kill us..."

He sniffed. "A-At least he's alright now."

-Month 1:Day 15 Over. Month 1: Day 16 Begins-

Pikachu knocked on Meta Knight's door, but there was no reply.

"Why are we here, again?" Wolf asked. "I mean, what if he tries to kill us again?"

"Y-Yeah..." Yoshi whimpered.

Pikachu frowned. "He won't! Don't worry. We're just here to give him food, alright?"

He knocked on the door again. "Hey, Meta Knight. Are you alright? We have food."

The door opened slightly. "What kind of food?"

"Toast. French toast!"

Meta Knight fully opened the door, took the plate, and slammed the door shut.

"At least he has food to eat..." Pikachu muttered to himself. He then said, "Hey, there's a small cabinent next to your room. Place the dishes there once your done, okay?"

"...Alright." Meta Knight simply replied.

"Okay... Now that that's outta the way..." Pikachu said. "We can finally move on and..."

"Wolf left us." Yoshi stated.

"WHAT."

"He left."

"Since when?!"

"While you were talking to Meta Knight."

"Why is he always leaving us behind?" Pikachu sighed.

"You know Wolf." Yoshi replied.

"...Good point."

Wolf sighed. Damn. Can't things be easy? I hope no one else goes insane... I don't want THAT to happen again...

"H-Hey... Wolf?"

"Hm? Kirby?"

"I... I made... A dare with Squirtle to go into that dark forest nearby the mansion... He lost... He went inside... And h-hasn't come out, yet! I-I'm worried!"

Wolf exhaled. "Alright... Let's go."

A/N: Meta Knight is finally back to normal! He's no longer insane! Yeah, I really had no clue on what to do on how this would roll, but I finally decided on adding the friendship portion. And that's just that. Anyhow, I am going to focus on the friendship next chapters, and lessen some arguments. And don't you lust love the sweet moments in here? And the next arcs will focus mainly on Wolf... Oh, and... Another smasher will go insane.
