Dark Meta Knight

Details
Dark Meta Knight is a defender of the Mirror World. He also used to serve Dark Mind as a slave up until the latter's destruction at the hands of Kirby and his 3 different-coloured counterparts (and with help from Shadow Kirby). Now he serves under the Sovereign Commander as one of his enforcers.

History
Earlier on, Dark Meta served as the defender of the Mirror World, protecting it from any threat or hostile forces. Shadow Kirby was his pupil who helped him defend the Mirror World.

Dark Mind's invasion
When Dark Mind invaded the Mirror World, Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Kirby went into action quickly to attempt to stop him. They were no match for Dark Mind, though, and despite their efforts, they were subdued within minutes. Dark Mind eventually enslaved them and forced Dark Meta Knight to do his bidding. He did as was told, though he inwardly hated Dark Mind.

A few days would pass when Dreamland would hear about the corruption of the Mirror World. Meta Knight, receiving word about this, flew to the Hall of Mirrors to protect Dreamland. Dark Meta Knight heard about Meta Knight's timely arrival, and quickly discovered that he himself was a mirror counterpart of Meta Knight. His already low will to serve Dark Mind had lessened. Through learning about Meta Knight, he also learned about Kirby. He also knew that Kirby alone wouldn't be enough to stop Dark Mind. Secretly, he came up with a plan, and he began to bide his time.

The Battle for the Mirror World begins
As Kirby was on his usual stroll, and as Meta Knight was on his way to the Mirror World, Dark Meta Knight soon carried out his plan. Disguised as Meta Knight, he encountered Kirby, and using a specialized technique, he split Kirby into 4, giving Kirby 3 different-coloured copies of himself to help him. He fled while Kirby and his copies proceeded to approach the Hall of Mirrors.

Duel at the Hall of Mirrors


Dark Meta Knight: "Meta Knight."

Meta Knight: "You're a... ...mirror image of me......"

Dark Meta Knight: "I'm sorry I have to do this, but I have no choice..."

When Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight came face to face with each other, a duel between them took place. Dark Meta Knight struck quickly, and reluctantly trapped him in the Dimension Mirror and shattered it into shards. He fled into another mirror right before Kirby and the others arrived.

Radish Ruins
The next time Dark Meta Knight and Kirby encountered each other was at the end of Radish Ruins. He once again disguised himself as Meta Knight, as he and Kirby dueled for the first time. After a long fight, Kirby defeated Dark Meta Knight, who fled the scene immediately.

Battle in the Dimension Mirror
Dark Meta Knight, once more disguised as Meta Knight, waited in the Dimension Mirror, while Kirby and the others made their way back to the Hall of Mirrors. As soon as they came face to face with him, Meta Knight immediately told Kirby that they were looking at an impostor. With that, Dark Meta Knight removed his guise and revealed his true form to them, and immediately attacked. After intense fighting, he was shattered into pieces.

Revival
Once he reappeared years later, he was down in a canyon in Dreamland, completely unconscious.

Enforcer
After his revival, he was recruited into the ranks of the ProtoVordartrian Empire as one of the Lighsttrom's enforcers.

Father, Son, and Leader Meet
Sovereign Commander: "At last, we meet, Kyle, face to face. So you were the one that was involved with those criminals attempting to sabotage the Empire. Well done, Catherine. I must thank you for your help."

Dark Meta Knight: "I must speak, sir. He is my son."

Sovereign Commander: "Well, it is up to me now."

Kyle: "Ggh..."

Sovereign Commander: "So, before I decide, what is your decision?"

Dark Meta Knight: "I wish to let him go. I don't think it's his fault. He was unknowingly involved with a band of pirates and mercenaries impersonating the Rebels."

Sovereign Commander: "To trick him into thinking he was fighting for a great cause that was in truth fought many years ago. Despicable of them. Very well, then. Guards, let him go. And Kyle, seeing from your battles, I saw your great potential. Therefore, I will be watching you and your father and how you progress. Next time, though, do not get caught up in a shady struggle like that."

Kyle: "...I won't fail you."

Sovereign Commander: "I know you will do well."

Kyle, who had been captured by Catherine Sparks, was escorted by ComPVoGaU commandos into a corridor. He finally met Dark Meta Knight, when Catherine revealed something that would surprise both of them. Kyle was revealed to be the unknown son of Dark Meta Knight. He was marched into a room, now at the Commander's mercy. The Commander had waited to meet Kyle face to face for the trouble he had caused. Dark Meta Knight spoke plainly about wanting to let his son go, and knew that a group of hired criminals were responsible for tricking him. The Commander, learning that it was not Kyle's fault, as well as noting his incredible potential, ordered his guards to let him go.

This turn of events had a significant effect on him. He was already feeling guilty about striking Ben down in his fit of rage over Meta Knight being temporarily corrupted and possessed, and learning that the mentor he killed was his son's mentor only made him feel worse about it. Also, now knowing that Kyle was his son, Dark Meta Knight would do everything in his power to protect him and prepare him for whatever would happen.

Personality and traits
In his earlier days, he was very aggressive and reckless. Though not as chivalrous as his counterpart, he has shown to be more cunning.

Talents and abilities
Dark Meta Knight had proven to be by no means inferior to Meta Knight. He has shown to be more agile. Upon joining the ProtoVordartrian Empire, his attacks had become more powerful. He wields a sharp-edged, silver-bladed sword, which he calls "Kuolemaote", the mirror counterpart of Meta Knight's "Galaxia".



Once he had become an Enforcer, he decided that he would need another weapon alongside his Kuolemaote. He constructed a sturdy hilt for the base of the weapon, then fitted it with a rare variant of the SparkCutter power star, creating his own light blade.
