"So it has came..." Susie said as she held the large mirror she was dying to find. "I'll get you this time, Kirby and Meta Knight..." She held two pictures of Kirby and Meta Knight and reflected it upon the mirror. "I will avenge Galacta Knight and President Haltmann..." She said with her voice full of wrath and grievance as she let the images stick on the mirror. "This will take some time... I should check up on President Haltmann and Galacta Knight." Susie stood up, exited the experiment room, and walked into the medics room. President Haltmann was now close to being fully healed as his damage was only taken by the broken Robobot Armor. But her biggest concern was Galacta Knight. It would take much longer time for him to heal. The force of Galaxia Darkness was too powerful for Galacta Knight to handle. Even though Galacta Knight has been treated for longer time, he was still not close to being healed. She still doesn't know when Galacta Knight will be completely healed, but until then, she must give him full attention.
"Can't you pay more attention to me?" President Haltmann asked.
"You're pretty much healed, Mr. President," Susie said without turning her head towards him.
"You seem to be very concerned with Galacta Knight," President Haltmann said.
"He was hurt with Galaxia Darkness after all," Susie replied. "Meta Knight... Kirby... be prepared to be taken down by your dark side..." Just then, the mirror signaled Susie. "Come hither, o dark reflections of ones who are innocent. Cursed by unconscious and deep rage. You will have a chance to vow revenge. Let out your fury, not keep it in. Your fury shall now evolve into joy." Two dark, yet familiar figures stepped out of the mirror. "Now, go out there. Fulfill your duty..." Susie said.

Meta Knight likes to have his peace and quiet while reading Star Warriors History under the shade of the tree just right outside of Kirby's house, since it was never quiet in the castle due to the boisterous king's loud demand and his clumsy servant's childish whining. Tokkori went out for a flight to straighten out his wings. Kirby was still sleeping in his cottage. Meta Knight just kept on reading. As he flipped through the pages of the fallen Star Warriors, he sighed with resentment towards eNeMeE. Since Kirby defeated it, that shouldn't bother him, or that's what he thought. After reading for several more minutes, he got to the chapter of traitors among the Star Warriors: Galacta Knight and Yamikage. The two of the greatest traitors of Star Warriors history. His eyes turned red and his hands clenched the book, but also at the same time, tried to not rip it. The next chapter was the surviving Star Warrior. Since this book was written long before Kirby was discovered, he was the only one in that chapter. There were several empty pages. He took his pen out to write something in there. He carries pen like he carries Galaxia all the time. He drew a box and drew Kirby inside, like how the book had boxes with pictures of Star Warriors inside. He was very careful to not mess up on the drawing. He drew a perfect circle, gave him a round and short arms, round, long, and flat feet, and smiley face with a blush, just like how Kirby greets him every time.
"Poyo," Kirby called as he stepped outside of his cottage.
"Did you wake up?" Meta Knight asked as he closed his book and put it in his back pocket.
"Poyo," Kirby replied.
"Did you have a nice dream?" Meta Knight asked as he stepped closer to Kirby.
"Poyo," Kirby replied with a bright face.
"Why don't I get you something to eat?" Meta Knight offered.
"Poyo, Poyo!" Kirby said excitedly.
"Well, then, let's go to Kawasaki's. My treat," Meta Knight said.
"Poyo! Poyo-poyo-poyo!" Kirby cheered happily.
"All right, let's go," Meta Knight said.
As they were about to head to Kawasaki's restaurant, two familiar, very familiar, extremely familiar figures stepped into their angles of vision. "Poyo?" Kirby said as he looked at the figures.
"..." They were both speechless as their eyes were glued to Meta Knight and Kirby.
"Who are you?" Meta Knight asked.
"You..." The figure that looked like Meta Knight answered in a deep voice but close to Meta Knight's voice.
"Poyo?" Kirby was confused.
"Poyo..." The figure that looked like Kirby said in a deeper voice.
"I believe you were sent by Susie," Meta Knight said as he reached to Galaxia.
"You are correct," The figure replied. "The name's Dark Meta Knight. Greet Shadow Kirby..."
"What brings you here?" Meta Knight asked, even though he thought he knew the answer to his own question.
"We are here to take you down..." Dark Meta Knight replied. "Be prepared..." Dark Meta Knight pointed his sword at Meta Knight.
"Poyo..." Shadow Kirby also took its stand.
"Don't you think you have a chance against me with that toy," Meta Knight said.
Dark Meta Knight flew straight towards him without saying anything to attack. They both swung their swords against each other. Kling! Klang! Kling! Klang! Their swords clashed against each other. Meta Knight quietly tossed the small sword to Kirby. Kirby quickly inhaled and transformed into Sword Kirby. Shadow Kirby stood still as Kirby tried to hit him with his sword. However, the sword went through Shadow Kirby. Meta Knight saw that happening. How can this be... he thought as he blocked Dark Meta Knight's attack.
"You should not look away..." Dark Meta Knight said as he forcefully struck his sword against Galaxia and pushed on it.
"Don't worry. I have better intuition than you," Meta Knight said as he resisted.
"I am made of your DNA," Dark Meta Knight replied, still pushing against Galaxia. "Our intuition level is equal..."
"I was afraid you might say that," Meta Knight said as he pushed Dark Meta Knight harder that they broke off.
Kirby used sword beam on Shadow Kirby. There was still no effect against Shadow Kirby, instead, it absorbed the attack and transformed into sword Shadow Kirby. Then they both got involved in a sword fight. In the field, the echoing sound of metals clinging against each other spread throughout. Both groups, Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight, Kirby and Shadow Kirby, they all had equal skills of fighting against each other. DNA versus DNA, it was hard to decide who was going to be the ultimate victor.
Meta Knight and Kirby broke off with Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Kirby with a tight grip on their swords, breathing heavily. Several sweat drops ran down their head. However, Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Kirby didn't seem to show any fatigue. "You should give up and come with us..." Dark Meta Knight said.
"Poyo..." Shadow Kirby added.
"Real Star Warriors do not give up," Meta Knight said.
"Poyo!" Kirby added.
"Shall we continue?" Dark Meta Knight asked.
"We shall..." Meta Knight said. As soon as his voice was cut off, the sound of swords clinging against each other. Meta Knight wanted to perform Galaxia Darkness on Dark Meta Knight, but he had no chance of charging Galaxia to perform such move. Sword beams didn't work either. Since Dark Meta Knight was as fast as Meta Knight, and had much intuition as him, he was able to dodge all the sword beams. Only if I perform my weakness, he would fall for it too, Meta Knight's epiphany hit his head hard like Dark Meta Knight's sword hit Galaxia. But he couldn't think of anything that would be his weakness... but he knew Kirby's weakness. His previous weakness. Meta Knight changed direction and flew away from Dark Meta Knight. He quickly snatched Kirby and flew away from Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Kirby. Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Kirby quickly followed after them. Meta Knight took Kirby to watermelon patch. "Remember Kirby," Meta Knight whispered. "Don't eat them."
"Poyo," Kirby whispered back.
"While Shadow Kirby eat watermelon, you go fight Dark Meta Knight," Meta Knight whispered the plan. "I'll take care of Shadow Kirby, and then charge up Galaxia for Galaxia Darkness."
"Poyo," Kirby agreed quietly.
"Poyo!" Shadow Kirby became hungry and started to gobble up the watermelons.
"No, Shadow Kirby!" Dark Meta Knight said.
"Poyo!" Kirby suddenly struck Dark Meta Knight with full force while he was off guard. Although he rolled off few meters, he stopped himself from rolling even more by using his foot and sword to stop.
While Shadow Kirby was distracted, Meta Knight used multiple sword beam on Shadow Kirby. Since Shadow Kirby was not paying attention, the sword beam's hit became successful. Shadow Kirby was now too injured to move. "No!" Dark Meta Knight exclaimed as he saw Shadow Kirby being beaten by Meta Knight.
Dark Meta Knight quickly broke off the fight between him and Kirby so that he can grab Shadow Kirby and get him somewhere safe. Meta Knight also grabbed Kirby and flew after Dark Meta Knight since he couldn't call the Warp Star, only Tiff can.
Meta Knight realized that Dark Meta Knight was trying to fly to the castle. Perfect... perfect... Meta Knight thought as he flew after him. He has stepped into the mousetrap that was not meant to be set. "Kirby," Meta Knight whispered after finishing his thought. "You will get on the Robobot Armor."
"Poyo," Kirby whispered back.
"Go ahead," Meta Knight dropped Kirby and he floated down, and ran to go get on the Robobot Armor while Meta Knight started to gather force within Galaxia.
Dark Meta Knight put him in the transporter to take him back. Meanwhile, Kirby hopped on the Robobot Armor and scanned Meta Knight's Galaxia, and turned into Sword Mode Robobot Armor. He quickly exited the throne room, but as soon as he did so, Kirby struck Dark Meta Knight with full force, making him be caught off guard, and gave Meta Knight a chance to use Galaxia Darkness against Dark Meta Knight. He became unconscious immediately. Since they share the same DNA, Dark Meta Knight is able to withstand against Galaxia Darkness as how much Meta Knight is resistant to it. "Thank goodness he did not get his hands on Galaxia," Meta Knight said with a bit of relief. He took out a pen and a piece of post-it note, wrote something on it, stuck it on Dark Meta Knight, and sent him back through the transporter.

Susie stepped outside the medics room after taking care of Shadow Kirby. "My, my, he was injured so much," Susie said as she stepped into her room, and then unconscious Dark Meta Knight came into her sight. "Oh my! Dark Meta Knight!" Susie ran towards him. "How can this happen? They should've been well prepared for this battle... What? There's a note on him." She took off the note and read, "How cruel you are. Nice try having our dark sides attack us. Kirby and I are on top of your head in this kind of battle. If you wish to maintain your life, you better not pull anymore of this mischief. Sincerely, Meta Knight." Her anger has risen from her feet to her head, and screamed as she shredded the letter into pieces. "How dare he! HOW DARE HE!" Susie breathed hard as she ran out of breath while screaming. "I must calm down..." Susie stepped into the robot creating room. "After I calm down, I should find out a way to maim him good. He will not get away with this!"

Meta Knight and Kirby went to Kawasaki's restaurant after their battle. "Kirby sure comes here a lot, but I never saw him coming with you," Kawasaki said as he served the dishes. "But why don't you order anything?" Kawasaki asked. "Wait, I know an answer to that..."
"You are doing your best," Meta Knight encouraged.
"Poyo!" Kirby said happily as he started to dig into his food.
