A/N: Hmmm, looks like people in Kirby don't really write author's notes…

Anyway, to the greetings! I'm Crazy Foxie and I'm a fan of the 'Hoshi no Kaabii' series. Since I watch the Japanese version, I'll use the Japanese names for everyone and the episode titles will be of what its translation is. The point of this story is to show everyone what Meta Knight really acts like and that he's not as perfect as he seems, but that's for later chapters.

So now, here's the chapter! I'll explain how it works at the end.

Disclaimer: All characters and settings belong to Nintendo. And HAL, I think.


/\/\/\/\ Episode 1: It's Here! The Pink Visitor! /\/\/\/\

"Sir Meta Knight, there seems to be activity in the town," Blade reported as he entered his lord's room. He smiled as he saw the weapons hung up on the opposite wall, then looked round the room.

The floor was marble like the rest of the castle and an orange rug was placed slightly to one side, where they had often discussed past events. There was a wooden chair there where Meta Knight always sat whilst him and Sword Knight sat on the rug. On the far end of the room, there were a few stairs leading up to their storage cupboard, which was where their futons were replaced after every night. Along the wall, there were old weapons which Sword and Blade had put up with Meta Knight's permission, and on a shelf, there was a jar of sweets the two were permitted not to touch. This proved a mission to get to the small cupboard behind it, where a window was concealed.

A raised platform to his right was Meta Knight's favourite area. Tatami covered the platform, and a paper lantern set in one corner was off. The low table against the wall provided a good area for all three to immerse themselves into the books lined up on the shelf above it. Meta Knight had hung up a watercolour scroll near the door to make this side more oriental.

However, Meta Knight himself wasn't in the room.

Blade withdrew from the room and closed the door, shaking his head to Sword beside him. Sword looked down the corridor.

"He's probably on the balcony." Sword led the way down the stone corridor, Blade in his wake.

"Think he's on the battlements?" Blade heard the warrior laugh softly.

"Since when is he not?"

The open air was welcoming as they continued down the hallway. The balcony had no door leading to it, so they were soon able to find Meta Knight standing upon the peak of the battlements.

"There seems to be some sort of commotion," contemplated Meta Knight as his servants approached him. Sword gave a pointed look at Blade.

"It seems a visitor's come to Pupupuland," Blade informed. "Some were repeating the name 'Kirby of the Stars'. Is that who we're looking for?"

Meta Knight appeared to take more interest in the stirring crowd below, but his subordinates knew he was listening at the same time. He simply continued watching.

"A starship," he muttered blankly. "Judging by the poor landing, he must not know how to control it yet." He turned round to the pair waiting for his command.

"Then we have to train him," Blade said. "If he's the one who's going to save Pupupuland, there's no way he's going to stand a chance at the moment." He lowered his head pensively.

Meta Knight jumped down from the merlon and wrapping his cape around himself instantly, he went through the doorway. Sword and Blade shrugged at each other, before following him down the corridor.

He led them back down the hallway back to the comforts of their room, where he went straight to the books. Blade closed the door behind him before seating himself on the tatami. Meta Knight removed a faded volume from the shelf and set it on the table. Sword and Blade leaned closer from either side as their leader flicked through its pages.

"'Demon Beasts will continue to multiply after the battle for justice'," read out Meta Knight. "'Many stars will be targeted and some will even cease to exist. One of these stars, Pupupuland, will be saved by the Star Warrior. Exceeding space-time, the Star Warrior will aid not only the village, but the universe itself; Kirby of the Stars.'"

"So Kirby of the Stars will bring peace to this village?" Sword questioned.

"It's most likely the same Kirby the legend tells of," Meta Knight explained, slowly closing the book. He looked at his followers in turn. "Kirby was awakened too early, which could cause us some problems."

"Problems?" Blade quizzed.

Meta Knight nodded solemnly. "His Majesty thinks I'm his loyal bodyguard. It's likely he'll try to eliminate Kirby since he's a hassle for Nightmare. If we're to train him at the same time, his Majesty would have less trust in us."

Sword nodded in agreement. "That does seem a bother…"

"We just have to be seriously discrete, that's all," Blade pointed out. "He won't suspect us as long as we appear to be loyal."

"That'll work. How come he's appeared now, though?" Sword pondered.

"A Star Warrior's ship detects where Demon Beasts are," the leader clarified lazily. "The mayor's shepherd was complaining to his Majesty only this morning his sheep had been eaten by a giant monster."

"That must be the Demon Beast." Fingering the hilt of his sword, the tallest knight continued to think. "This would be a good situation to see what exactly Kirby is capable of."

Meta Knight showed his agreement by sighing softly. "We'll find the destined saviour at night, when the Demon Beast decides to turn up. Until then…" He lied down on his back. "We have to wait."

A/N: First chapter's first episode, naturally. Sorry it's a bit short, but there's only so much I can write.

I won't do it for every single episode since that would take far too long. The ones I'll miss out are the ones that are self explanatory and the ones which have crazy plots (Dynababy and the Robodog, for instance).

I will, however, take requests on one condition: the episode takes place after the one I've written, meaning I won't go back to do it for you if you request too late. Simply the episode number is fine, however specifying when about would be helpful also. My definition of unworthy episodes may not be the same as yours, so there may be a chance I'll miss out the one you'd want me to write about. The episode doesn't necessarily have to have Meta Knight in it, so don't feel pressurised! Hope this mass of information hasn't confused you :)

If there are two contradicting requests, I'll probably end up including both in the chapter ;p

Leave a request either through a review or a PM. Or, if you don't want to leave requests, let me know what you thought of the chapter in general in a review! Next chapter will be 'Episode 6: Check it out! Channel DDD!' Unless there's an earlier request!
