Kirby had been standing at the edge of a cliff while holding Meta-Knight’s sword {the Galaxia} for 2 minutes now.
2 minutes after he defeated another creature summoned by King Dedede who turned out to be a fiery beast from Meta-Knight’s past.
Blade and Sword Knight sees this and figures that since waiting around here is getting kinda boring they decide to call out to Kirby.
As it was time to head back to the castle and reunite with their friends.
“Hey uh, Kirby?” Blade knight said to the pink ball.
But there was no answer as he was still standing there with a serious look on his face.
So Sword Knight steps in to tell the child.
“Kirby! Are you done with that pose now? It’s time to head back!” Sword Knight yelled at the pink ball.
And this finally gets Kirby’s attention.
“Poyo?” Kirby asked.
“Yeah, you heard Sword. It’s time for us to go back to the castle.” Blade Knight said.
And so Kirby walks to the 2 knights and starts walking with them back to the castle.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
While they were walking, Blade Knight saw how sad Kirby was looking.
“You, still worried about sire?” He asked.
Kirby replied with a nod.
“It’s ok. If you want then you might be able to hold my hand while we walk, does that sound fair to you?” Blade Knight said.
And much to his surprise, Kirby chose to hold his hand.
Which makes sense since this pink fluff ball is still a kid and all.
But then they get interrupted by Sword Knight.
“Hey you guys! Look. There’s Castle Dedede.” Sword Knight said pointing at the castle.
“Your right. And look Kirby. Your friends are waving for you too.” Blade Knight said.
And he was right. As Kirby sees that his friends Tiff and Tuff were waving at him.
So they all run to the castle.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
When they finally arrive at the castle, they see Tiff and Tuff running towards them.
“Kirby!” Tiff said.
“Kirby, are you ok?” Tuff asked
“Yes he’s fine, Princess Tiff and Prince Tuff. In fact he was able to take down the fierce Wolfwrath by inhaling Meta-Knight’s sword and using it’s power.” Blade knight said.
“Yeah it was really unbelievable. Plus we were able to figure out that this dog beast is weak to water.” Sword Knight said.
Wow, that’s actually pretty cool.” Tuff said.
“Yeah but that’s not why were here bro. We’re here to tell Kirby about Meta-Knight.” Tiff said to her brother.
And hearing this causes Kirby to be surprised.
“What do you mean by that, Princess?” Sword Knight asked.
“We have a surprise for you Kirby.” Tiff replied.
“Yeah come with us and you’ll see.” Tuff said.
And so Kirby follows the 2 siblings with a confused look on his face while also saying goodbye to Blade and Sword Knight who just stands there.
“Oh and Kirby cover your eyes ok?” Tiff asked Kirby.
And so the pink ball shuts his eyes while he holds onto her hands.
Which both Tiff and Tuff thinks is cute to see.
They walk all the way through the gate where it finally opens after being locked up from preventing that beast to escape and wreck havoc in Cappy Town.
“Alright Kirby. Here he is.” Tiff said.
And when Kirby opens his eyes. He sees something that makes him really happy and tearful to see.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
It was Meta-Knight, no longer paralysed and fully awake now.
He was struggling to walk due to how long he was out for. But he was helped by Kirby’s two other friends Falala and Fololo.
“I appreciate the help you two. But trust me, I can walk by myself.” Meta-Knight said to the two.
“Sorry sir but you were out cold and paralysed for a lot of hours. Plus you can barely walk at out.” Fololo said.
“Besides Meta-Knight, i can see that Kirby is there alongside Tiff and Tuff, so it will all work out.” Falala also said.
“Your both right. Even though my legs are asleep, it’s all good.” Meta-Knight said.
So while the 3 of them walk towards Kirby, Tiff and Tuff, the pink ball was struggling to keep his tears from showing up.
As he was so happy and thankful that Meta-Knight is still alive.
“Hey, Kirby. It’s ok. There’s no need to cry.” Tiff said.
But the fact that the knight who mentored him into becoming a sword fighter was enough to make Kirby burst out into tears and starts running towards them.
“Wait Kirby!” Falala said.
“Stop Kirby!” Fololo shouted.
But he didn’t hear them. And so Kirby runs towards Meta-Knight and knocks him onto the ground.
Meta-Knight was shocked to see that the pink ball was crying and he felt sad for him.
And despite his legs being asleep, he’s surprisedly able to move his arms.
Then he placed his hands onto Kirby and starts rubbing his head.
“Shh, shh. It’s alright Kirby. I’m ok. I don’t know what happened but I’m ok.” Meta-Knight said to the pink ball.
And this was enough for Kirby to stop crying and starts hugging him.
But then their pleasant moment was interrupted when Blade and Sword Knight showed up at the cast;e’s gate.
“Sire! Your alive! It’s a miracle!” Blade Knight said happily.
“Hey Blade, Hey Sword. Kirby here was crying so I had to comfort him. I think it was because he missed me.” Meta-Knight said to the two knights.
“Of course he missed you sir. We had to battle that beast who paralysed you. And Kirby was a real MVP there.” Blade knight said.
“Yeah. He even used your sword to destroy it too.” Sword Knight said.
This causes Meta-Knight to be speechless. As from hours of being paralysed, he didn’t know what was going on.
The last thing he remembered was telling Sword and Blade Knight to protect Kirby.
And this was made even more clear when Kirby gives him back the galaxia.
“Wait. Does that mean, you saved me?” Meta-Knight asked Kirby.
He replied with a nod.
But not before tears starts pouring from Kirby’s eyes again.
“You actually save me.” Meta-Knight said again as he sees Kirby starting to tear up again.
And so Kirby hugs him again and starts crying again.
With no idea how to react to such emotions, Meta-Knight decides to hug Kirby as a sign of gratitude.
“Oh Amigo. I’m really proud of you Kirby. You defeated that fiery wolf and saved me from being paralysed. I’m just glad that you are ok especially you two Sword and Blade. So thank you Kirby.” Meta-Knight said to Kirby.
Everyone watches as they think that the hug was actually really cute to see.
While ignoring the fact that King Dedede is angry about whta happened and is planning on summoning a new monster to take down Kirby.
But it doesn’t matter right now.
As both Meta-Knight and Kirby are really glad that their both alive and well.
This was indeed a really perfect bond between them.
And that nothing can seperate them.
Not even a wolf from Meta-Knight’s past or the fact that it literally tried to kill him by paralysing him.
