Moments After MAJC Defeated Galacta Knight
"Let 'er rip!" Daroach said.
"Zoey might be on to something." Jen said. "We might have too much-"
In an instant, the Hydra took off.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIGHT!"
The Great Cave Offensive was soon abandoned with only Galacta Knight sprawled out on the ground. "Uuungh…" Galacta Knight groaned as he got back up, shaking it off as he rubbed his head. "That could have gone better…"
He pulled out a Maxim Tomato and ate it up to rejuvenate himself as he took a deep breath and exhaled. "Well… on the one hand, MAJC escaped. On the other, I curse the golems for possessing me."
"Hello Galacta."
Galacta Knight readied his weapon. "Who said that?" He asked as he looked up to see a crimson butterfly descending into the cave. "That butterfly…" He mused as his eyes widened.
"Yes, I am reborn! I am… MORPHO KNiGHT!"
"I will not… be possessed… by some STUPID BUTTERFLY!"
"No! NOOOOO!"
"Begone! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU POSSESS THE GREATEST WARRIOR IN THE GALAXY!"
"…Didn't I cut you in half?" He asked, readying his weapon. "I killed you!"
The butterfly landed on the rock in front of him. "Fool. You may have caught me by surprise when you fought your way out, but know this: You cannot kill death. Death comes for everyone."
"…So you are the grim reaper."
"Indeed. It may have taken me a while to get back to Dreamland, especially with that universal reset knocking me out for a while. You may had cut me in pieces, but I repaired myself. As I said, you cannot kill death."
"So why did you come for me specifically?"
"Because, you long for death. You are the Greatest Warrior of the Galaxy, I will admit that. However, because of how strong you had become, you have become unstable to the point where you had to have been sealed off so the galaxy wouldn't have been destroyed. Recall the time where you had been unsealed for the first time."
"READY. I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH."
"My one wish is to become stronger. So I wish to fight… the greatest warrior in the galaxy!"
"OKAY. YOU WILL NOW FIGHT A WARRIOR WHO WAS SEALED AWAY FOR FEAR HIS POWER WAS TOO GREAT. I WILL NOW SUMMON THIS GREAT WARRIOR ONCE MORE. THREE… TWO… ONE… GO."
"Meta Knight defeated you in combat, and that would have been the end for you… however, you were sealed up again. In that seal, you were screaming for death to come take you. You were wanting that peace. Recall the second time that you had been unsealed."
"Hehehahahahaha! I have to thank you fools for all of your hard work, but now is the time for me to skedaddle!" Magolor taunted. "Oh, and to keep you idiots busy… I call upon the greatest warrior of the galaxy to slow these pathetic losers down!"
"What?!" Meta Knight yelled as Galacta Knight came flying down.
"What in sam hill?!" Dedede exclaimed.
"Get ready, everyone!" Meta Knight readied his sword.
"You fought valiantly, but you were defeated once more. You were then sealed up again, and you were longing for death to come to you. You are tormented by your own power, yet the universe is playing cruel tricks on you. And let us not forget the third time you were called upon this world."
"You are mighty indeed. Now for the final test… this was prohibited by the previous admin… preparing to boot the Space-Time Transport program. Let us bring back a legendary swordsman from a forgotten time. He may end up destroying a nearby planet or two, but such is life. The benefits of this final battle outweigh the collateral damage."
Meta Knight prepared himself. "Him again…"
"Executing Space-Time Transport… extra-dimensional road… booting… three, two, one… BEGIN!"
"You had not only destroyed Star Dream out of anger, but you were resealed again after Meta Knight defeated you. You were again, longing for death but the universe continued to play its cruel hand against you. Being the greatest Star Warrior does put a heavy price on one's mental health."
"Meta Knight defeated me in combat… back in my time, if you were defeated in battle, you were at the mercy who bested you and you were expected to give them a quick and merciful death, even if it was a friendly spar."
"Indeed… and you have longed for death, yet every time, you were sealed back up. Galacta, no, Aeion Knight, I had given you the death you were longing for, yet you managed to break free and cut me in half. Why exactly did you do that?"
"In my mind, I was too preoccupied with destroying everyone and you coming out of nowhere felt like possession, so I broke free out of anger."
"That would explain a few things. I would have given you the death you so richly desired, yet you broke free… and then Kirby threw a friend heart at you. Because of that, your time had been prolonged."
"That figures…"
"Even though your time has been prolonged, I am still the judge of your soul. I had been called by the souls of your victims. I can also feel the resentment that you have against the universe. In fact, you were quite annoyed with MAJC and the Squeaks for not killing you after you had been defeated."
"They could have given me the death that I had always wanted to have… they could have had the decency to finish me off, even if the golems had possessed me. I am a noble warrior, and the fact that no one has given me the death that I long for is annoying me to no end."
"Indeed."
"So, are you here to take me again? I'm all open. I will go peacefully."
"Not yet."
"What?"
"I believe you need to atone for your deeds back in your time, even if you are willing to go, I will not grant you the death you are looking for. Not yet, anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"There is an eventual war that will happen soon, in fact, there is a war going on right now as we speak. I believe it is called the Phazon War. Put those who are corrupted by the Phazon out of their misery. There are souls out there who seek retribution against some certain people."
"…You want me to be your errand boy." Galacta Knight growled. "Forget it."
"I had a feeling you would have said that." Morpho started to lift off the ground. "Know this, Aeion Knight. You will get your death that you have been longing for soon… but today is not the day for your death. When I come to you again, I will grant you your passing that you have longed for for so long." He flew out of the cave.
Galacta Knight let out a frustrated growl, slashing through some rocks in irritation. "Damn you universe… at least allow me the death that I desperately want. At least grant me my one wish so I can pass from this life peacefully!"
He let out a small groan. "…At least give everyone a chance to live just in case if my mental instability acts up again…" He mumbled as he flew out of the Great Cave Offensive.
Ibuki: Ah geez, poor Galacta...
This one was requested by Topaz... and yeah, poor guy.
