1. Angry Dark Queen (1/2)

copyrighted characters belongs to their rightful owners blah blah blah...

this story is basically what happens shortly after nightmare loses the final battle in the anime... but with a few changes.

first, this is seen from the bad guys' point of view.

second, i mixed game elements in it (which means that zero of the dark matter will appear).

third, in this version of the ending, i assume that the anime takes place after the games unstead of before.

"what?"

nightmare stood before her master. looking at his face, it was obvious he was ashamed... he had no good excuses this time... if he had failed, it was entirely his fault.

in front of him, sitting on a throne entirely made of the skeletons of different species, was the queen of darkness and the true

ain behind the nme... the infamous dark matter queen, 02.

her current host was an adult fairy. she was wearing a long, purple robe as well as silver

acelets on both arms. a black crown covered with rubies was on her head. she truly had the looks of a queen, that's sure... the looks of a very small queen that is. altought the fairy was an adult, it was merely bigger than a common dreamlander.

it was really strange, seeing the humongous nightmared terrorised by such a small being... but it was only small in appearance for a power that far surpass nightmare lies within the body of this poor fairy, who was enslaved more than five centuries ago, kept alive solely thanks to the power of the sadistic queen of evil.

"m... m... my queen! please understand!" begged the caped villain.

"nightmare... my patience has limits! ten millenias... it took you ten millenias to eliminate those weaklings know as the star warriors! you realise this? i allowed you to wield the most advanced technology in the universe! i gave you the command of some of the most powerful demons on the physical plane!... and then, you get whipped so easily by a single star warrior... and a kid at that?"

"but... it had the star rod!" replied nightmare, trying to justify his failure.

"enough!" thundered the queen. obviously, the queen didn't believed this.

she jumped off her large throne and slowly flied to the face of nightmare's face. she then grabbed the place where his neck should be and raised him above her, staring into his eyes. pure rage could be seen within her blood-red, burning eyes...

"you are the only one among the three great generals that did not

ing me results. the only one! dark metaknight and dark reaper conquered many planets and defeated entire species with many less ressources than you! incompetance shall not be tolerated! not any longer!"

the fairy then thrown the poor villain into the wall, nearly

eaking it (the wall, not nightmare). nightmare was knocked out instantly from the impact.

then, a dark figure, merely a bit smaller than the dark queen, teleported just before her.

"i am here, my queen." said the figure. it's voice was noble and calm.

"dark metaknight... you are here as i can see." stated the queen, who had seemingly calmed down.

dark metaknight came out of the shadows and into plain view. he was grey, almost black and his yellow, almost red eyes glowed behind his dull grey mask. pieces of black armor covered his shoulders and he also had a dark-red cape. altought it wasn't visible, 02 knew that he was carrying the unholy sword, black hole, with him. black hole was galaxia's perfect antithesis and had been created millenias ago by 02 herself for dark metaknight to use. dark metaknight had used the sword trought the generations to kill, one by one, each of metaknight's and kirby's descendants.

dark metaknight stared at her queen for a while and then begun his report. "my excellency... it seems that the star warrior who defeated the great general nightmare was a pink being... and it also seems that he had been trained by metaknight's descendant."

the queen turned to dark metaknight, obviously filled with interest.

"continue on!" commanded the dark queen.

"this descendant was also wielding galaxia and he did not gave the sword to the child... he didn't needed to. the child was able to wield the star rod all by itself... but this isn't the most surprising fact we found."

the evil queen began to wonder... a child, wielding the star rod? he hadn't believed it when nightmare told her... but dark metaknight's code of honor prevented him from lying to her, he was reliable. so... nightmare was saying the truth... but still, a child is a child, right? that moron still doesn't have an excuse for losing to a child.

"we may also believe that this child... is the reincarnation of the half-

eed, kirby."

02 smiled as dark metaknight finished. this dreamlander, a reincarnation of the all-powerful half-dark matter being that was created from her cells by nightmare ten millenias ago? impossible! the dark matter blood diluted in the veins of his descendants and the legendary power of the copy ability was lost, never to return again... and anyway, dark metaknight had personally terminated the very last of kirby's descendants personally more than five millenias ago. it is totally impossible for this dreamlander to be related to the legendary half-

eed.

"dark metaknight... do you have any evidence of what you claim? after all, it is impossible that a mere star warrior could wield the holy power of copy which only those with black blood may wield..."

dark metaknight approached 02's throne and then pressed a few buttons... for 02's throne was more than just a throne. beneath the bones was a complex network of wires and systems; the throne was not truly made of skeletons as it was only a cosmetic change. using the throne's many functions as well as the tons of monitors that hanged from the ceiling, 02 watched over everything that went on in the entire universe and issued orders, leading the forces of darkness in her mad quest to conquer the universe.

dark metaknight inserted a disc into a hidden slot in the throne and the largest monitor activated itself...

a video was displayed on the screen, showing kirby copying an enemy and then using that ability. this was a common ability only, something simple, like fire... but to 02, this was absolutely unbelievable. the pink being... it was not merely possessing! it was not merely mimicking his foe's powers! he was truly, completely stealing the powers from the foe and then turning them against the enemy! no doubt about it... only a being with dark matter blood can do this!... which means that this being is the real thing, the reincarnation of kirby!... but how? 02 was puzzled as for the origin of this reincarnation... it couldn't be a descendant of kirby... kirby's line ended long before this being was born...

once the video was finished, the monitorwas deactivated and dark metaknight took back the disc.

"i... i cannot believe this!" said the queen, still not completely believing what she had seen...

"the video is genuine. they even gave him the name of the half-

eed to him: kirby... and while to these fools, his "puyo" sounds like nothing but babbling, it is obvious that this is..."

02 already knew the remaining of the sentance before dark metaknight finished and interrupted him...

"... the ancient dark matter language... only dark matters of royal blood knows of this language... the only remaining beings in the universe who knows of it are myself, you, dark metaknight, becease i taught you, gooey, and..." said the queen, unable to finish her sentance as well.

"...kirby. back when he was alive, your husband, medius, taught him how to speak it. the version this reincarnation speaks is quite crude... but it's genuine nonetheless. i fear that he is back... the enemy is reborn." said dark metaknight, finishing 02's sentance.

02 slowly approached the wall and grabbed nightmare's cape, pulled him out of the wall. she then slapped him silly until he woke up.
