Kirby: Right Back At Ya! Fan Fiction ❯ Revenge of the Metaknight - The Full Story ❯ Chapter 9: The Final Battle ( Chapter 9 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Chapter 10: The Final Showdown

With a loud bang, the Halberds main reactor exploded, sending a shockwave through the ship. Consoles all over the ship exploded in a fiery mass of sparks, and people were running for their life. On the bridge Waddle Dee and Captain Falcon were in the midst of staring at the ships status screen as sector by sector more parts of the ship went from Green (Sector Secure), Yellow (Minor Damage) and Red (Sector Destroyed). Among those in red were all five engines, the force of the blast had even thrown metaknight off his little perch on the bridge. By the end of it 99% of the ships systems were inoperable and 95% of the ship was unusable, the words "Emergancy - Halberd Inoperable" flashed on screen. The lights dimmed to only the flashing red of the emergancy power, the late afternoon sunlight from the main windows and the lights from the consoles.

Waddle Dee: We've lost main power!! I repeat, all engines are offline, ship is running off reserve only, hull breaches in sectors 1.2..3..4...5. umm.. ok everywhere on the ship, both wings are disabled, all weapons systems are offline, altitude decreasing

Captain Falcon: What about the anti gravity plants?? SOMETHING must be working!!

Waddle Dee: .. Anti gravity plant 2 is minorly damaged and running at 200%, but it can't hold the ship up by itself...

Suddenly the status console explodes from the discharge of the reactors explosion

Meta Axe: Sir.. it may be possible to repair the main reactor

Meta Chain: Its worth a shot

Meta Knight: No... I refuse to allow my ship to go out struggling, we have tried our best, and are going down like gentlemen. Send the order.. to abandon ship

Captain Falcon: Sir..

Waddle Dee grabs the microphone and flips the switch to "All sectors" (Thankfully the intercoms are run off of reserve power, and not the core or else they wouldnt work)

Waddle Dee: Attention all hands, abandon ship, i repeat, abandon ship

Captain Falcon: Its over then..

Meta Knight: .. that includes you guys..

Captain Falcon: I wasn't planning on staying! this is one captain that does NOT go down with the ship

With that captain falcon proceeds to run through the door leading off of the bridge.

Metaknight: Dee you too..

Waddle Dee: Y-YEs sir!

Waddle Dee proceeds to follow captain falcon out the door

Metaknight: Meta chain, Meta Axe, you guys too

Meta Chain: What about you sir?

Meta Axe: Yeah

Metaknight: I.. i have my own agenda to attend to, you guys get off the ship while you can

Axe and chain at once: B-But..

Metaknight: GO!!

Meta Chain: Yes sir..

Meta Axe: Right.. good luck with kirby sir

Metaknight: Thank you, both of you

With that meta axe and chain run through the door leading out of the ship. Metaknight removed his sword and returned to his perch, standing at attention and looking out at the approaching ocean. By his estimation the ship could sustain flight with one anti gravity plant for a half hour before it would crash.

Metaknight: Soon kirby.. soon



Back in the reactor room, King dedede, Simon Mirror, Kirby and Waddle Doo were thinking about their next move

Simon Mirror: There.. without power theres no way the ship can stay afloat

King Dedede: your telling me this birds gonna crash?

Simon Mirror: Precisely, furthermore it should be fairly soon

King Dedede: Then lets get outta here!

Kirby: Waddle doo, you lead them to the escape pods, im going to go after metaknight

Waddle Doo: Alright, good luck kirby!

King Dedede: Give him a punch for us, will ya?

Simon Mirror: Yeah!

With that the other three ran out the opposite exit of the reactor, heading towards the escape pods

Simon Mirror: Why didn't you just strike him with your hammer there sir?

King Dedede: Because this way he goes down with the ship while we make a hasty retreat, or get fried by metaknight, it doesn't really matter

Simon Mirror: Do you really think Metaknight can take kirby?

King Dedede: If hes anything near as tough as he sounds, yes

Simon Mirror: (Sarcastically) .. your ever present genius rises again sire

Back with kirby, Kirby was making his way through the now doomed ship, the once busy hallways and corridors were now deserted, and some pathways were blocked by debris/fire. He ran into the ships main elevator and hit the bridge button. Despite meta knights order to shut down the elevator, the computer grid was now offline, so the elevator worked anyway Meanwhile, outside the bridge...

Meta Axe: Are you sure this is a good idea?

Meta Chain: What chance do you think metaknight has against kirby?? Honestly

Meta Axe: .. yeah

Meta Chain: We're going to give it at least one last shot before we abandon ship!

Meta Axe: Yeah! for metaknight!!

Suddenly the elevator appeared outside the bridge and the doors open to reveal kirby

Kirby: Outta the way guys!

Meta Chain: Not so fast, if your going to the bridge...

Meta Axe: Your going through us first

Meta Axe leaps at kirby, but misses and lands smack dab in the elevator, kirby hits the down button as it closes up and heads down

Kirby: You want to be next?

Meta Chain whips at kirby, the whip making a red mark on his side

Kirby: OW! Guess so..

Kirby then sucks the whip out of his hand, Meta chain raises his hands

Meta Chain: ok ok i give up..

Meta chain heads over to the elevator when it comes back up and gets in while kirby marches forth to the bridge, on his way down Meta chain can be heard saying

Meta Chain: ... good luck sir.. you'll need it

With a creak the bridge door opened, at first kirby didnt see anyone there, but then from above him he heard the voice of meta knight

Meta Knight: so we meet again kirby..

Kirby: Metaknight!

Meta Knight: You've succeeded in destroying the halberd, I'll admit, i underestimated you, your a far better opponent then i expected

Kirby: Thanks.. i think

Meta Knight: Although my plans are in ruins, i intend to make sure you do not leave this ship alive..

With this metaknight drew two swords, his own and a second, he chucked the second down to kirby, it landed, sticking into the floor

Meta Knight: I shall fight you with honor, with the weapon of a gentlemen, the sword

Kirby: your on!

With this kirby picked up his sword, holding it in a fighting stance

Meta Knight: This will be a fight to remember

Meta Knight leapt off his perch above the door and landed on level with kirby, his cape flapping from the jump, he landed on one knee, then stood.

Meta Knight: EN GARDE!!

With this meta knight leaps at kirby, sword drawn to make a downward thrust at him, kirby manages to roll out of the way as metaknights sword impales the bridge floor. He removes it from the floor and proceeds to run at kirby. Kirby raises his sword to block metaknights, and is successful. Metaknight then leaps back and fires a beam from his sword at kirby, kirby does the same as the two beams meet in the center of the room, the force of the combined energy smashes all of the bridge windows..



In the escape pod bay a little situation had arrisen.. Captain Falcon and waddle dee arrived at the same time as King Dedede, Simon Mirror and Waddle Doo

Captain Falcon: Your the imbeciles that were with kirby!!

Waddle Dee: Traitor

Waddle Doo: Moron!!

Waddle Dee: Freak!!

Waddle Doo: Jerk!!

Waddle Dee: PBS supporter!!

Both sides watch as the two waddles leap at eachother, exchanging blows to the face. A dust cloud ensues as King Dedede and Simon mirror are left to face captain falcon. King dedede removes his mallet, Simon Removes his rod, Captain falcon removes a handgun

King dedede: This is for my castle bird brain!!

Captain Falcon: DONT CALL ME BIRD BRAIN!!

Captain falcon raises the gun and fires a shot off at king dedede, simon raises his mirror rod and fires a vertical beam of energy to block the shot. Captain falcon fires six more into the shield before reloading, King Dedede uses this time to smack him in the head with his mallet and knock him back.

Captain Falcon: .... ow....

At the same time Waddle doo had arrisen victorious in the battle of the waddles

Captain Falcon: .. We have one chance left..

Waddle Dee: Right..

With that the two back into the darkness, and a loud mechanical whirring can be heard

King Dedede: What the heck do they have back there?

From the dark veil emerges a second heavy lobster, this time being operated by captain falcon and waddle dee

Captain Falcon: NO ONE BEATS CAPTAIN RENARD FALCON AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!

King dedede: Your real names Renard???

Everyone laughs at this, even waddle dee

Captain Falcon: QUIET!!!

With this the blue eyes of the new heavy lobster focus on king dedede, Captain Falcon was going to kill Dedede and Simon for making fun of him, and Doo for being a traitor (and later Dee for being annoying)



Back on the bridge the fight had picked up pace. With a ferocious slash meta knight rips at kirby, Kirby dodges and meta knight hits the ships steering wheel, clean cutting it in two

Meta knight: Stand still!!

Kirby took this time to get a slash in at metaknight, actually wounding him, but not badly enough..

Meta knight: You'll have to do better then that kirby

This time meta knight leapt into the air, kicking kirby and knocking him into a wall.. Metaknight pins kirby at the.. well i guess you could call it a neck with his sword, knocking kirbys own sword away

Meta Knight: Any last requests kirby??



In the mean time the battle with heavy lobster II was going a bit more successfully, several holes in the ship later the battle was nearly over.

Captain Falcon: I didn't want to use this but i have no choice..

With that the heavy lobster opened its mouth, firing a massive beam of energy at the group. They manage to dodge, but the beam tears a hole straight through the ships now weakened armor, hitting the last remaining active anti gravity plant. This caused the ship to go on nearly a 45 degree angle downward. Heavy lobster II can no longer keep its footing and slides down the docking bay, crashing through the hanger door and plummeting to the sea below.



This move turned out to be advantageous to kirby as well, the tilt in the ship caused metaknight to slide off kirby, rolling down into the bridge's window. Kirby used this to strike one final blow to meta knight, cutting off his mask to reveal..

Lololo??????

Lololo: You win this round kirby!

With that Meta.. Lololo swings his cape, in the midst of the cape swing he opens an emergancy escape hatch in the floor of the bridge. When the cape finished swinging he was gone.

Kirby: So all this time Lololo was metaknight..

Kirby had no time to think about this fact because with the loss of the final anti gravity plant the ship no longer had any way of staying afloat, and would soon be at the point of a nose dive. Kirby runs back out of the bridge and down the emergancy stairwell. Knowing all too well King dedede probably rigged whatever remaining escape pods were there to explode or something, he had to find an alternate way to escape the ship.. and he found it. Arriving at the entrence to the flight deck he came upon his method of escape

... King Dededes Wheelie Cycle.

Metaknight also had his own way to escape. Arriving at the bottom of the shaft, to an alternate entrence to the flight deck, he strapped on his last hope of survival. A jet pack.. with wings like a bat,as well as two shoulder mounted energy cannons. Redonning his mask, he jets off onto the beak deck, ready to stop kirby from escaping.

Kirby gets on King dededes wheelie cycle and kicks the front wheelie, causing it to speed off through the wall and land on the beak. The voice of the ships onboard computer was again heard

Computer: Warning.. 60 seconds to impact, adjust course.. warning.. 60 seconds to impact.. adjust course

Kirby payed no attention to this and just sped down the beak towards the front of the ship. Then a large explosion appeared in front of him he had to swerve to miss. he checked the mirror to see Metaknight flying after him.

Metaknight: THIS TIME YOU'LL PAY!!

Kirby kicked the wheelie again, making it go faster then before, and swerving all over the deck to avoid metaknights scattered shots

Computer: 45 Seconds to impact

Kirby was barely 1/4th of the way across the deck, meta knight was really slowing him down. Suddenly he hit the guard rail leading to the twin cannons platform, ramped up the barrel of the once mighty gun and burst into the air, leaping over several holes in the hull.

Computer: 30 seconds to impact.. there is no longer sufficient time to change course

Kirby was now half way along the beak, and Meta Knight was no where near finished with kirby, he swings his sword, firing another beam of energy at him, kirby dodges this but it makes yet another hole in the hull.

Computer: 15 seconds to impact

Kirby was thinking to himself "I'm almost there.. come on" as he sped past the 3/4ths mark. The computer began its final countdown as kirby approached the out stretched end of the beak, with nine seconds remaining he ramps off the upturned part of the beak and landed on a cliff. Metaknight, being behind kirby, hits the cliff, and the halberd smashes into the cliff behind him. With a mighty bang the ship explodes in a fiery mess, falling to the ground below, where ironically waddle dee and captain falcon had landed

Captain Falcon: .. please say that isn't what i think it is about to land on top of us..

Waddle dee takes out his parasol as the massive wreckage lands on top of them.



Kirby: Its finally over...

Suddenly King dedede, walks up behind kirby, giving him a boot to the rear and knocking him off the wheelie cycle

King Dedede: Thanks for getting rid of metaknight kirby, now i can steal food in peace!!

With this he hops on his wheelie cycle, lets simon mirror hop on, and speeds off towards his castle ruins. Kirby and waddle doo give chase

Kirby: COME BACK HERE!!

Waddle Doo: Your not stealing anyones food!!

The whole group runs off into the sunset, as the smoke from the halberd rises from the cliff..




Back at the wreckage site, Waddle dees parasol had actually peirced a weak section of hull, protecting himself and captain falcon. They wound up in the area where kirby had fought heavy lobster for the second time

Captain Falcon: Y-Your parasol just saved our life Dee, Th-thank you

Waddle Dee lifting debris off himself replies..

Waddle Dee: No problem...

Then suddenly the door to the room falls off, a dark figure standing in the door way, with half burnt off bat wings.

Captain Falcon: Sir???

Waddle Dee: What happened sir??

Meta knight: I again underestimated kirby, and he defeated me..

Captain Falcon: Sorry to hear that sir

Waddle Dee: so what do we do now??

Meta Knight: We're going to head back to my fortress and we're going to try again. I hearby vow that until the day i die i shall not rest until kirby rests atop my sword!!

Waddle Dee: mmmm.. shishkabob

- The End? -

Well hope you enjoyed it guys, please R&R, and maybe some day ill get around to doing up an oringal metaknight vs kirby fic, who knows, maybe Waddle Dees giant fish dream will come true..
