I'm sorry this chapter ends kind of abruptly. I didn't know where to stop. Enjoy!

Chapter Two

When Kirby reached Meta Knight, he was frantic. He said, "Meta knight, I need you to help me with something." After Kirby explained the battle, meta knight knew what to do.

"Kirby, we need to gather everyone that has ever helped you save the world," meta knight explained, "I have a feeling that we will be against more than just Dark Meta Knight."

"Got it!" Kirby hopped back onto the warpstar and started off to find all of his friends. "I should probably find Gooey first." Kirby said to himself.

As Kirby was nearing where Gooey almost always was (the lake) he instantly knew something was wrong. "Is this Dark Matter?!" Almost everything in sight was pitch black. "This must be what Meta Knight was talking about!"

Kirby was turning around to go back when Shadow Kirby appeared in front of Kirby, blocking his way back to Meta Knight. "Going so soon...?" Shadow Kirby said psychoticly.

"You again?!" Kirby said, "still messed up from Dark Meta Knight, huh." Shadow Kirby smiled menacingly when Kirby said that.

"Oh, my mirrored pink friend..." Shadow Kirby began, "you have saved the world for how long now? 21, almost 22, years? You still have so much to learn..."

"oh yeah? Like what?"

"To never look away from the enemy..." Shadow Kirby teleported away while laughing maniacly.

"Uh oh," Kirby said as he hesitently looked behind him. He saw that all of the Dark Matter in the area had gone to one spot, compacted together. "Is that... Gooey?!" As the Dark Matter got bigger and bigger, Kirby heart raced faster and faster.

"This... Is bad." Kirby looked at his back and saw a small, thin piece of Dark Matter on it, the eye on his skin. Kirby had no idea what to do, and when he tried to move, he couldn't. As his eyesight started to blur, he heard someone say something, some screaming, and then everything went black.

...

When Kirby awoke, he saw he was inside of the Battleship Halberd. Meta Knight was standing next to the bed Kirby was on. "What happened?" Kirby said, slightly alarmed, "What happened to Gooey? Where is Shadow Kirby?"

"Um... Kirby, "Meta Knight began, "something has happened to you during the battle. You see, after you saw the piece of Dark Matter on your back, some of your friends tried to help you. Specifically Rick, Coo, Kine, Chuchu, and Pitch."

"Are they why I'm here? Did they bring me here?"

"Well, yes and no. When your animal friends tried to save you, Gooey swallowed them all and turned them into slaves of Dark Matter. Luckily, the resulting explosion blew you back to the castle."

"What?! All of my animal friends?! Wait... Then how did I get on the Halberd?" Kirby said, confused.

"Stop acting so dumb!" King Dedede had just walked into the room. "The only one it could have been was Meta Knight!" Kirby rolled his eyes at this.

"Wait a minute!" Kirby suddenly said, "what about the Dark Matter that was on me?!"

"Well, Kirby," Meta Knight said hesitantly, "the dark matter... Um... look Kirby, that was a Dark Matter leech. It will slowly drain your copy abilities, until you don't even have normal Kirby, and die."

"So... That means..." Kirby jumped up off the bed. He looked at his back and saw that it was completely black. "If I don't reverse this, then... The universe will always be in danger because I won't be here. It probably will be taken over as soon as I'm gone."

"Yes, and we need to find Gooey, your animal friends, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, and anyone who might be involved." Meta Knight said.

Abilities left: 95%

"What was that?!" Kirby said, staring to panic.

"That was the leech," Meta Knight said, "it has begun to drain your powers, and we don't have much time left.
