The greatest warrior in the galaxy goes shopping with the shadow of the greatest swordsman.

▪︎Prologue

▪︎Chapter 1: A mysterious encounter!

▪︎Chapter 2: Shadow Cashier Dee's fate.

▪︎Chapter 3: A new friend or foe?

▪︎Chapter 4: Shopping spree!

Throughout Dark Meta Knight's life, he had never experienced anything like this before. Nobody had ever held his hand and invited him to go shopping with them...up until now.

-reccomended reading music-

Dark Meta Knight was lost in thought, there was just too many things to consider ever since his realization earlier. Galacta Knight was the key to the completion of his project and he needed to play his cards right. Even if that includes temporarily masquerading as Meta Knight's brother and going on this shopping trip with him. Usually this would annoy him but strangely, it didn't. Rather, it was amusing to see how the temporal warrior acted towards him, not to mention those snacks look awfully delicious...was pocky supposed to have that many flavors?

And was he still holding hands with Galacta Knight the entire time? The dark knight looked down and confirmed his suspicion then quietly pulled his arm away. He still wasn't used to such physical affection, it made him.....recall too many unnecessary memories.

"So, if you don't mind me intruding on your personal business, what happened between you and your brother?"

"We had a fight, that's all."

Maybe it was a mistake to lie about this matter, but it was much more convenient than explaining how he was Meta Knight's mirror counterpart. That would've made things too complicated and wasted too much of his time.

"So...physical or verbal?"

".....both."

"Oh...were you mad at him?" Galacta Knight asks as he comedically pushes as much pocky into the red basket as he could. Dark Meta Knight just stares, choosing to not question the other's actions.

"I-....I don't..know."

"...was he mad at you?"

"Definitely." The knight scoffs.

"Hm, that's unusual. I've never heard of Lord Meta Knight being so angry. There's still so many things about that little radscal that I haven't got a clue about!...*sigh*."

Meta Knight.........When they first met, what was he truly feeling? It had been so long since they fought, so it was hard to recall. The feeling of immense bloodlust was clear but...was he angry at Meta Knight? Did he really hate him that badly? Despite him enjoying picking fights with his counterpart, he never felt it as something truly malicious. When Dark Mind ordered him to "get rid" of Meta Knight, the dark knight merely followed it just to fight him. Once he had his fill, he would kick his counterpart into some random mirror and shatter it to please his "boss". Indeed, they had a fight. But it was more of a mock battle than anything. Not to mention Dark Meta Knight wasn't fully conscious back then. When Dark Mind's influence corrupted the mirror, its residents were nothing but a husk of their former selves, including the knight himself. Their souls were replaced with fragments of his evil, completely transforming their original function. Instead of good wishes and dreams, they'd reflect the most awful, vile features of their counterparts. They could only act based off what consists of their personality traits, unable to truly think of themselves. To think....he and his crew nearly didn't suffer the same fate and was somehow kept conscious enough to do Dark Mind's bidding-

"Hello? Earth to......oh right, you never told me your name."

And he lost his train of thought.

"...just call me Dark Meta Knight, that's what everyone does."

"Hmmmm...you have to stand up for yourself, you know?"

Galacta Knight picks up the basket and turns to the dark knight, giving him a sympathetic look. This heavily confused him, why is he looking at him with those eyes? What's wrong with that nickname? Was it too blunt?

"Well, if you let everyone think you're just his shadow, wouldn't that make your life miserable?"

".....What?"

""Dark Meta Knight", I don't like that name!"

The warrior huffs and crosses his arms in a rather silly manner. Was he....pouting?

"It just implies that you're some evil twin, that you're just the complete opposite of Lord Meta Knight."

"It won't affect me. I have no reason to care."

"But I do. It's cruel."

"But It also doesn't concern you. Or...does it?"

He raises an eyebrow at Galacta Knight, wondering if his nickname somehow was related to something he didn't know about.

"Of course it doesn't but...I don't want to call you that. It's degrading!"

"Well maybe I deserve it. We just met, there's a lot you don't know about me as well. I could've done terrible, evil things that a hero like you would despise. You said there was gossip about me, right? What if I commited sins much worse than what they speak of me?"

"Well, I also don't know if what you're saying is true so..... we're even~!"

He groans at this warrior's attitude towards him. How could he trust him so bindly? Why was he doing this? Question for later, he should just follow along and try to think of ways to rope the conversation into the jamba hearts.

-POV change: Galacta Knight-

As the two talked, they walked down many different asiles, almost covering the whole shop. This was intentional on Galacta Knight's part, as he wanted to spend as much time with Meta Knight's "brother" as possible. This mysterious stranger, claiming to be his twin. The temporal warrior heard many stories about him, especially from the Meta-Knights.

-FLASHBACK-

"Dark Meta Knight!!! That fiend!!"

"How dare he hurt our boss?!"

"That coward ambushed him too!! Doesn't he have any honor?! Yet that bastard calls himself a knight!!"

Galacta Knight could only stare far into the distance while standing on a canon placed considerably elevated platform, looking cool as they continued their chatter on the Halberd's dock.....ah...when were they going to leave? He really wants to stop standing there....it's actually pretty uncomfortable to balance on these shoes, you know? Please leave.....leave already...........hey....don't stare at him like that. Do they want him to voice his opinion on this..."Dark Meta Knight"?

"What do you think, Sir Galacta Knight? He's the worst, right?!"

Aaaaaaaaahhh please stop...please.....maybe he'll just say something really cool and fly off. Yeah, he'll do that.

"Mm, I haven't met him. So I cannot say for sure. It's rather rude to judge others based on gossip alone."

YES YES HE SAID IT! HE CAN LEAVE!!! Unfurling his wings, he quickly spreads them out, sending out impressively strong winds onto the dumbfounded Meta-knights and bails out. Another victory for the galactic warrior!

-FLASHBACK END-

...but he really did mean those words.

So he was going to try to get to know this knight as much as he could.

"You buy an awful lot of food..."

"Of course! It takes a lot to sustain this strong body of mine, I assume the same goes for you?"

"...Yes, that is true. Usually I would need to consume a considerable amount of food. But maxim tomatoes make up for it."

"Hm? Oh, those tomatoes? Mm, I can see. They can give you as much nutrition was 2 meals would. It is truly mystery. I also eat a few when i'm in a hurry. Usually it takes me quite a while to finish my meals."

"Really? How long does an average meal take for you?"

"About 2 hours."

"I- that's.....VERY long."

"Mhm, you have to savour each and every piece you consume. It's the joy of eating! In fact, it's one of the reasons why I haven't-!.....nevermind."

Probably shouldn't bring that up.

"Why? It'd all be digested anyways. It shouldn't matter how the food tastes. As long as it's edible and has enough nutrients to mantain your health."

"Hey, you wouldn't be saying that if you ate something REALLY good. Just think, what's the best thing you've eaten?"

"........maxim tomato soup cans."

"See? Th-....wait, just tomato soup? I mean, it tastes good but......the cans?"

".........I come from a place where all the best quality products were hogged by a selfish monarch. All the best chefs and cooks were forced to work for him, so I never got to experience something that had really "taste". Maxim tomato soup is the only item that had the best nutrious value. So by default, it is much better than anything else that was in store."

"What."

[-music stop-]

How dare......how dare he- how dare that selfish monarch hog all the good food! No wonder "Dark" looks so grumpy. It's because he never got to experience the pleasures of eating good food! This made the warrior extremely livid. He could never forgive that tyrannical brute for causing so much suffering to his subjects.

It was unforgivable.

"Galacta Knight?"

-POV change-

Dark Meta Knight noticed a horrific change in the atmosphere. His nerves were on edge once again....did he somehow infuriate the temporal warrior? Cautiously, he took a step back, unconsciously hovering his hand above the handle of his sword. Galacta Knight's eyes were bloodshot, his entire body tensed up.

He approaches closer to Dark Meta Knight, only adding more to his caution and anxiety. Things weren't looking good at all-

"What are you doing all of the sudden? OY-!"

Galacta Knight's hands suddenly grabbed onto his shoulders, completely surpassing his guard. This was the first time the dark knight ever let out a yelp, it was extremely humiliating. But now wasn't the time to think about that- now he couldn't draw his sword properly, he was left completely vulnerable-

"This....this is....UNFORGIVABLE!! How could that FIEND do that to his subjects?! How could you bear through it?! I understand...I understand completely. The suffering you had to go through..."

[-music start-]

".....eh?"

Soft sniffles and hiccups came through the warrior's mask...w-was he crying? This is getting more ridiculous by the minute- why would he have such- SYMPATHY for him!? It was unbearable to think that such a warrior like Galacta Knight would cry for him just because good tasing food wasn't available to him!

"Y-you.....*sniff*....never even got to taste the wonderous foods in this galaxy...*sob*...you don't deserve that...."

"E-Enough!"

The dark knight spits out, aggresively shrugging his pauldrons to get Galacta Knight's hands off. His eyes widen in anger and confusion, looking straight at the other knight with mixed feelings.

"What does it matter?! It's just food- Way to make a star out of an asteroid! I simply cannot understand you."

Galacta Knight quickly wipes his eyes and immediately stopped shedding tears. His mood took a complete 180° turn.

"I'll show you.... All this food I bought, we'll eat it together once we're done shopping."

Why....

"You never got to eat anything better than maxim tomatoes right?"

Why....

"That can't be good for you, eating too much of one thing is never good for your health, even I know that!"

Why.

"I can't stand the thought that you never got to eat spicy curry...or wagyu steak...or coffee cake or other amazing foods!"

WHY.

"So much joy and wonder from just one bite alone, you must experience it. It's a must!"

WHY?!

Why does he CARE. Why does it MATTER SO MUCH TO HIM?! Dark Meta Knight........he didn't know....he couldn't figure out why...so he chose to stay silent, no matter how worked up he was. Getting information on the jamba hearts still remained his top priority, why did he get so....frustrated earlier? It shouldn't matter, all he had to do was to follow along. Yet....this....this bird brain- had to- No, he needed to keep his composure.

The dark knight takes a deep breath and calms down before facing Galacta Knight again.

".....fine."

The warrior's face immediately lit up, he was back to his cheerful self a few moments ago.

"Trust in me, I won't let you down~!"

Confidence was clear through the astral's words, as if he was sure to blow his mind away with a few snacks and sandwiches he's never tasted before. This entire ordeal was ridiculous and yet...the way the warrior looks at him somehow managed to give a part of him hope.

Hope for something new.

[-new music-]

".....don't disapppoint me..."

"Hm? What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Well alright, let us resume our little shopping trip." He lightly chuckles as he playfully nudges the other's elbow. Dark Meta Knight could only sigh in defeat once again and walks along Galacta Knight as they continue shopping.

Some time pass and they finally check out. At the counter, the two knights were met with the tired eyes of a waddle dee and one of them instantly recognized who it was.

Dark Meta Knight could only pull his cape higher. Trying desperately to blend in Galacta Knight's side to be insignificant enough to not be noticed much. This was...very awkward.

As the cashier scans the products, all the stuff they brought flood into a star cut dimensional portal at the end of the counter's conveyor belt. It was rather interesting to see.

"That'll be........1000 coins, sir. Gee, you really bought a lot. Stocking up for the apocolypse?"

Galacta Knight only tilts his head lower in response, he would look cold but it was infinitely better than small talk, something he wasn't the greatest at. In silence, he hands the cashier...Meta Knight's credit card? Dark could recogbize it. Where did he get that?

"Not much of a talker huh? I get it, talking tires me out too sometimes."

Oh thank void Galacta Knight finished paying- he really didn't wish to face Cashier Dee any longer. The knight had to pratically bury himself in the soft feathers of Galacta Knight's wings. It was....rather pleasant actually. But now they had to leave, immediately.

As they head to the entrance, Galacta Knight returns the red shopping basket.

"What are you doing?"

"Returning the...basket?"

"You're supposed to return those?"

"...Yes. It's for the other customers to use once you're done."

"But then how would you hold your purchased items?"

"Usually the cashier bags them, so you wouldn't need it."

"Hm, I see."

The two quickly stepped out. Galacta Knight took flight first and gestured the other to follow suit. Together, they flew across the skies peanut plains and reached a rather high cliffside near a forest. It was small, but big enough to support the both of them. The view provided by the cliff's height was enough to encompass the entire town, giving them something pleasant to watch as they feast upon the mountain of food products.

The pink astral finds a suitable place for them to sit on and lightly dusts off the rocks and other various things in the way for Dark Meta Knight to sit besides him. He comfortably opens his cape and takes a seat, leaning backwards towards the warrior's angelic wings behind him. In response, it spreads out even further and gently wrap itself against Dark Meta Knight. He immediately notices this and gets extremely flustered, but decides not to do anything about it for now.

"I can't believe i'm doing this..."

"Here, let's start off with the fruit sandwiches."

Dark Meta Knight still couldn't believe that he agreed to all of his just for information he won't even obtain for sure today. However....he never ate a fruit sandwich before. Were they supposed to be sweet as well? As Galacta Knight hands out a sandwich for him, he hestitantly reaches out and takes ahold of the product. Then, the temproral warrior takes off his mask as Dark Meta Knight holds the sandwich.

"Itadakimasu~!"

The other knight was taken aback on how quickly he ate the sandwich despite emphasizing the importance of savouring food earlier. Nevermind that, he tore open the package and carefully examined the sandwich. It looked...appetising. The strawberries were evenly spread out across the cream, the bread felt soft and cold...

Then...a bite.

!!!!!

It's......this flavor...but it's just a fruit sandwich?! How...how does it taste so...good?!

The sweetness of the whip cream combined with the plain soft bread play so well together...along with the sour, juicy strawberry! The abudance of flavours flew right into his mouth with just one bite-

"So? How does it taste?"

He reluctantly turned around to face the dumbest face ever, smiling smugly at him. Dark Meta Knight growls and glares at the warrior, not wanting to admit defeat.

"....it's alright."

"Come on, I saw your eyes when you took that bite! Those were the shining pupils of someone who just ate something so good that they could never experience taste the same again~!" He huffs and smirks at the dark knight, satisfied that Meta Knight's "brother" was proven wrong about food.

"Fine, you were....right." He says through clenched teeth, squeezing the sandwich's strawberries out. It was truly ridiculous that such a simple item could completely change his view on something. But....it wasn't something to get so worked up about. He released his grip on the poor fruit sando and quickly eats it, enjoying its deliciousness once more. Galacta Knight gleefully watches him eat, glad that he gets to see a different side to this mysterious stranger.

"Galacta Knight."

"Hm?"

"Back at the store, I yelled at you right? I'm...sorry."

"Ah?? Hey! What are you apologizing for? Its fine. I know you hold no ill will torwards me~ (playing along with my games...)"

"Hm....."

This feeling of guilt, he hasn't felt it for such a long time. The dimensional mirror's recovery must be going smoothly if he's starting to feel so many different emotions now. Anger, confusion, happiness and guilt.....it made him feel....

Alive.

"You say...you live under a brute? Lead me to him! I will make short work of his royal butt!"

"Pfft-"

A snicker escapes from him, which quickly escalates into a short laugh.

"You wish to fight my king? How ridiculous...you're ridiculous. Hmph."

"Don't patronize me, i'm serious! I'm a hero~! I need to save all that good food from his evil clutches! *snicker*"

Dark Meta Knight only laughed harder, barely managing to properly form his words. "Haahaah..If you're so serious, then why are you laughing?!"

"I don't know!!" The knight's laughter was too contagious, Galacta Knight couldn't help but join in! They were both laughing messes in just a few seconds, barely holding it in.

"How are you even going to do it anyways you big buffoon?!"

"I'll just- *pffft*- break in and punch him real hard!!"

And they're laughing even harder, Dark Meta Knight started to feel abit scared now, but the thought of that giant penguin being PUNCHED was just too golden-!

This knightmare carried on for a few minutes until the laughter died down. They both looked at each other, seeing their smiling faces. Dark Meta Knight immediately realized what expression he was making and quickly went back turned around, which only amused Galacta Knight even more. Some time passes and Dark Meta Knight has his fill, the food they bought- well...Galacta Knight bought....were all incredibly flavorful. He decided that it was time to leave.

"Thank you for the food. I shall take my leave now."

"Mm, til we meet again.......uh- wait. I never got to know your real na-!!"

And just like that, he pulled up his cape and disappeared into a mirror, leaving Galacta Knight there alone.

"-me.......well. Alright then! May we meet again at the hands of fate since you also never told me where you lived....or gave me any contacts......*sigh*"

Just like that, their little "date" ended. Will Galacta Knight ever meet Meta Knight's edgy brother again? Will he get to beat up his king as well? Those were the questions left unanswered to our dear galactic warrior.

The greatest warrior in the galaxy goes shopping with the shadow of the greatest swordsman.

▪︎Prologue:

The Dimension Mirror, an artifact of unknown origin known to be the gateway between the original world and it's Mirror counterpart. Just as it's name would suggest, The Mirror World is completely parallel to the original, reflecting everything to it's equivalents in the normal world. All seemed normal until a dark presence invaded the land, corrupting all within The Mirror World, causing it's inhabitants and the surrondings to drastically change. The darkness inside everyone's hearts corrupted them and slowly took over bodies, replacing what was left of their former selves. Especially to this one particular swordsman, whose soul was drained of all compassion and love. The one who was once known as an honorable knight, was now a ruthless savage that terroizes all of Mirror land. Thus, "Dark Meta Knight" was born.

The one who invaded The Mirror World, Dark Mind, took advantage of this and struck a deal with the fallen knight:

"YOU WORK FOR ME NOW! Do a good job and maybe, I'll return them to you."

Dark mind's new lackey seemed to follow along at first, but soon small acts of rebellion began to appear and soon led to his defeat by the hands of Kirby.

Soon after his defeat, the evil presence he had on the Mirror World disappeared along with him and freed the inhabitants from the corruption...well not really, everyone's still kind of an asshole, but atleast they weren't as bad as before! The mirror may still reflect bad things, but its gradually reverting back to what it originally was.

While it recovers, the inhabitants of the mirror world would still go on about their days, like this waddle dee that's working as a cashier right behind that counter! See that? What a funky lil' guy!

They're looking intensely at the clock on their monitor how fun! Oh? Why are they checking the time so seriously? Well that's because they've got to deliver the Dark Meta Knight alarm! Every Saturday at 4 p.m, Dark Meta Knight goes "shopping". He gets in the store, takes a basket (which are very limited now since he never returns them) and scoops up as many food products as he can. Then, our beloved knight walks up to the cashier, gives them a not-so-friendly stare and walks off with the unpaid for goods.

And all the actions described above are about to happen...right now.

"All customers please evacuate the store. I repeat, all customers please get the OUT OF THE STORE! HE'S COMING!!!"

The moment the annoucement blares through the speakers, everyone dashes out the store, hurrily abandoning their baskets. Some kept them though, taking advantage of the chaos to shoplift. They flew out of every exit they could find, via the doors, the windows, the ceiling and even the walls! It was a terrible mess, liquid spilt out of broken soda bottles, glass shards scattered all over on the floor, shelves completely knocked over......and our dear friend, Shadow Cashier dee has to clean up all of this later. Knowing this fact, the waddle dee sighs in defeat and prepares themselves for death. Oh yeah, that happens a lot, but it mostly wasn't their fault. Sometimes Dark Meta Knight has bad days and takes it all out on Cashier Dee, killing them. The only reason they're still alive is because mirror people can't die if their original counterparts are still alive, as they exist to reflect them. So, Cashier Dee doesn't feel too bothered by it, but only because they've gotten used to the pain.

Now this does raise a question, why does Shadow Cashier Dee still work there? Despite how dangerous it sounds, that store is actually ranked as one of the safest places to hide from Dark Meta Knight. It is much safer than his Majesty's castle and anywhere else. They'd rather work in Pupupu mart than loiter around the place where waddle dees are targeted the most.

*ding dong!*

Oh, our friend arrived! And he's hangry! much to SCD's chagrin...

"(m-maybe if i just hide in the corner and stay quiet, he won't even notice i'm here...)"

They should be used to this by now, just staying still, not moving an inch throughout the entire time the knight shops but.....for some reason, their heart wouldn't stop pounding so loudly in their ears. It was awfully quiet afterall, the only noises that were to be expected was DMK's footprints and the waddle dee's heartbeats. So why did they feel...so scared? Was if because they're going to die today? No, the thought of death isn't that scary, so why? Why were they unable to breathe properly? Why couldn't they calm down? What was wrong? They did everything right...right? The people were all evacuated and they were hiding in the best spot the store could manage. There was nothing Shadow Cashier Dee could think of that could be the cause for their fear-

The maxim tomato soup cans ran out.

Oh no...oh NONONONO- Maxim tomato soup cans were his FAVORITE! Usually he gets absolutely LIVID whenever they were out of stock! Not to mention he seems much more angrier than usual! Is this the end for Shadow Cashier Dee? Oh definitely, he was going to die slow with a LOT of pain. Dark Meta Knight's gonna rip out their heart and eat it while it's still beating, that's for sure....

Their fate was sealed. They were going to die again today.

The greatest warrior in the galaxy goes shopping with the shadow of the greatest swordsman.

▪︎Prologue

▪︎Chapter 1: A mysterious encounter!

▪︎Chapter 2: Shadow Cashier Dee's fate.

They could hear the heavy footsteps of the knight's sabatons approaching, along with the various items clattering against each other with each step inside the typical bright red shopping basket. Even behind the counter, Shadow Cashier could taste his unhappiness. Yup, they're not going to make it out alive this time, might as well get it over with...

The waddle dee slowly gets up and takes a deep breath before hopping onto a stool. Usually, this allowed them to reach their customers' eye levels, but in this case, it helped the cashier face their doomed fate.

Through the scarred mask, his eyes glared piercingly at the waddle dee. The cashier grips their chest, preparing themselves for the painful blades of Dark Meta Knight. That sword's branches never get any better the second time, not to mention that if one of those get stuck in their ribs...ah, they were already thinking about death. Well,atleast they won't feel too bad about it. The iron clad astral stepped closer..

"You're out of tomato soup."

"Yes sir, we're out of stock....."

Shadow Cashier Dee IMMEDIATELY flinched away as soon as they responded but the knight...seemed less angry? The cold, dark aura surrounding him also died down, not to mention that the overwhelming bloodlust that usually radiate from Dark Meta Knight appears to be absent. The waddle dee hesitantly turned their head back to take a closer look at the knight.

"Hm, how unfortunate."

"Y-yes sir...."

"Hey, you. What's your name?"

"E-eh?!? Well you- you can call me Cashier Dee, everyone does..."

Huh? Is he...talking to them? Are they actually having a conversation after all this time? Shadow Cashier Dee couldn't believe his eyes, this never happened before....

"Cashier Dee, if a shop like this exits in our realm, then would Dreamland have something similar?"

"I- Well maybe- no- yes!!! There would be!"

They clasp their hands together, nodding prefusely as an attempt to satisfy the knight's inquiries.

"Then that would mean, they'd still have tomato soup."

"Mhm...."

"Hey, how much does a can cost?

"I-it's about 14 starcoins s-sir."

"......"

The knight looks off towards the distance, as if he's in deep thought. This confused the waddle dee, why was he suddenly so tame? Wasn't he completely irritated earlier? Maybe...it wasn't directed at the store, maybe he was angry at something else..

Multiple questions popped in the cashier's head, overwhelming their little head. Ultimately, they just shrugged them off. It wasn't their business anyway-

"Lend me money."

"E-excuse me?- WAAAA!!!-"

The blade pierced through the protective glass, shattering it completely. The waddle dee narrowly escaped the blade by a hair's breadth, tumbling backwards and falling onto the cold, hard ground.

"That wasn't a question."

"Y-YES SIR!! I'LL GET YOUR MONEY RIGHT AWAY!!"

They hurriedly gathered the coins from the cashier box and gave it to the Dark Meta Knight, trying to steady their breathing so their trembling won't shake the coins out of their stubby little arms. With a quick swipe, the knight takes the money and immediately leaves, soaring straight out of the store before the automated doors could even open.

"......hmph, Dark Meta Knight? More like Dark Meta Hobo...."

"EXCUSE ME SIR!"

"WaAAAaAAaaAaAAAAAHHHH!!"

Suddenly, another waddle dee popped up from out of nowhere and almost scared the just-spared life out of the cashier!

"I would like to use this coupon!"

"Now hold on a second WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?!"

"Not important! This coupon says that I can get a free ice cream, I want to use it!"

"Alright, give it here...........sorry, it's expired."

"W-what?! That can't be right! Can't you make an exception? It's just one ice cream! I had to hold my breath hiding in the oranges the entire time!"

"Alright, alright! Calm down and go get your damn ice cream or whatever. I don't care anymore."

"hmph, that's what I thought."

Satisfied with the cashier's defeat, the waddle dee strides in triumph to claim it's deserved award. It finds the freezer and picks up an ice cream cone with glee. However, that happiness was short-lived, as for the moment it took it out of the freezer, the waddle dee immediately scowled. They angrily stomped back at the counter and slammed their fists on its surface.

"this....this ice cream is melted!! You didn't even take care of the freezer properly!"

"Hm, someone must've tripped over the power cord during the evacuation. So now all the ice creams melted."

"EXCUSES!!"

"*sigh...*"

Shadow Cashier Dee reaches down under the counter.

"You aren't even doing your job properly! I know when someone's just damn lazy!"

They locate a safe

"I'm a customer, you can't treat me like this!!!"

They input the password aaaaand....

"I demand to talk to your manager!!"

"I am the manager."

Shadow Cashier Dee equips the harpoon!

".....understandable, have a nice day!"

The waddle dee quickly took the melted Frosty Delight and ran straight out the store, not wanting to become a dee shish kebab today!

"Damn straight. *sigh*, now I have to rebuild this shop again...."

Meanwhile...

The dark knight managed to make it out of the Mirror World and is now hiding somewhere behind the trees and bushes of an unknown location. Knowing his counterpart's reputation and his appearance, the knight knew he needed a disguise, or atleast to get rid of the mask due to it being the main feature to distinguish Meta Knight.

So he took it off.

Unlike his counterpart, he doesn't mind showing his face despite knowing the reason why Meta Knight keeps it hidden. The mask immediately vanished into thin air once it was removed, teleporting away to a safe place. When that was done, he scratched out the "M" on his right pauldron completely. Satisfied with his work, Dark Meta Knight sets out to Orange Ocean to find Pupupu mart.

The greatest warrior in the galaxy goes shopping with the shadow of the greatest swordsman.

▪︎Prologue

▪︎Chapter 1: A mysterious encounter!

Somewhere along the docks of Orange Ocean, you can spot a small building with a giant logo spelling out "Pupupu mart". It used to serve as a shop for selling all kinds of fishing and diving equipment until it went out of business due to unknown reasons. Then, 3 years later, a certain waddle dee saw the abandoned building and was determined to turn it into a convenience store for his majesty!

Now, it's ran by multiple waddle dees, including Shadow Cashier Dee's counterpart, Cashier Dee! Who doesn't actually seem all that different from their mirror world equivalent. Which is understandable since working in customer service isn't exactly an enjoyable job. However, it still has its exciting moments, such as this one that's about to happen riiiiight....now!

*Ding dong!*

The store's cheery theme song blares through the speakers, welcoming the new customer who flew right into the store with his majestic angel wings. The waddle dees and other various species of Dreamland's inhabitants all looked in awe as the white clad knight lands softly onto the familiar tile flooring of a typical convenient store. "It was the famous Galacta Knight! The greatest warrior in the galaxy! One of the four heroes of yore that sealed away Void Termina! The sexiest man who ever lived! That guy who keeps staring at people intensely and scaring them away!"

Those were the cries of all the customers in the store as they rushed towards the pink warrior, showering him with compliments with eyes of admiration towards his impressively well-built body. Cashier Dee watched behind the counter with amusement, scoffing at how immature those wild fans are before going back to their work.

Throughout all of this, the gallant knight thought....:

"(I knew I should've just foraged food in the forests...what was i thinking? This ALWAYS HAPPENS everytime i go out! And DID THAT WADDLE DEE JUST PROPOSE TO ME?? O-oh- oh stars everyone's staring at me- GAH! This is what i get for stepping out of my goldilocks zone! Sure Galacta Knight, maybe visting the store once in an orbit wouldn't hurt! Maybe no one would recognize you! my PINK BUTT.

.....sigh. Oh. They're starting to make room for me! Phew...I should just get on with my shopping. The customers here are friendly, they wouldn't bother me THAT much......)"

Despite his inner voice trembling with anxiety, he made sure not to let it show outside. All the fans simply thought his unresponsiveness was cool and shows off that stoic characteristic. Galacta Knight's so awesome! Though he's kind of scary...better make way so he can shop in peace! The way his eyes go bloodshot really gives you the vibe that he's not happy...

Good choice, guys. Good choice.

The warrior's fans soon quiet down and continue with their shopping, letting him roam the soup aisle without any disturbances. Unlike its duplicate in the Mirror World, this lane contained shelves that weren't flipped over, dirtied by spilt soup and were fully stocked with various soup can products. It was a long time since Galacta Knight ever ate these canned soups of long presveration, truly a wonder of food science. Knowing this, he reaches out towards a can with the letter "M" on it, resembling an M you'd see on a maxim tomato. However....

The warrior's fingers lightly brushed against another hand instead of the can's plastic covering. Being caught off guard, he immediately retracts his hand and turns right to see...

A dark grey astral with pale yellow eyes that emitted a slight orange glow. Across the left side of his face was a massive scar which stretched all the way from the forehead to the lower body, passing his left eye. The stranger wore a torn cape, having an uncanny resemblance to the one Meta Knight wears. He stared back at Galacta Knight and quickly retracted his own arm, holding the cape higher to cover his mouth.

"...."

"F-fancy seeing you here? Meta Knight? No...you aren't him...you're...."

The greatest warrior in the galaxy goes shopping with the shadow of the greatest swordsman.

▪︎Prologue

▪︎Chapter 1: A mysterious encounter!

▪︎Chapter 2: Shadow Cashier Dee's fate.

▪︎Chapter 3: A new friend or foe?

(Reccomended reading music)

The sight of Dreamland's Pupupu Mart was nothing like it's mirror version. The moment Dark Meta Knight stepped into the store, he was instantly greeted with a much livelier atmosphere than usual. The difference was big enough to catch him off guard, everything was so much more colorful and light-hearted. The shop's theme song blasts through the speakers as the customers happily shop to its tune. Staff members would energetically advertise their products and give out free samples, cashiers would engage in cheerful conversations with the customers checking out. Waddle dees waddled, Waddle doos doodled, everyone enjoyed shopping at Pupupu mart! Though they were abit skeptical at the knight's appearance, they paid no heed to it and continued about their day. The dark knight lets out a silent sigh of relief under his cape and searches for the soup aisle. The variety of products and cleanliness of the whole area certainly made an impression on him, Dreamland's Pupupu mart truly was something else entirely. The shelves were full of unfamiliar brands with a whole assortment of flavors that he'd never tasted before. Mirror Pupupu mart only had maxim tomato and onion soup cans, which weren't always fully stocked at times as well. Although it was tempting to try out a new flavour, Dark Meta Knight shook it off and scanned for the bright red can with the letter "M".

Finally, the knight found it, the nutritious tomato paste. He quickly walked towards it and reached out. However....

"Lord Meta Knight? Fancy seeing you here! No...you aren't him...you're...."

"....!"

He recoiled back and hastily pulled up his cape. That shitake mask...those horns...those eyes...it was no mistake, that was the temporal warrior himself, Galacta Knight, shopping for the same soup cans as he was. Why is he here In a place like this?

"H-his twin!!"

Huh?

"You're his brother! That torned cape, those crimson red sabatons, your glowing eyes....there's no mistake. You're Meta Knight's evil twin!"

H-huh?

"Ahh I'm joking, I never liked the concept of a "good" and "evil" twin anyways. It's too biased and cruel. I still can't believe people gave you the nickname "Dark Meta Knight"."

What the hell is he talking about?

"*Ahem* sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. How rude of me. My name is Galacta Knight and yes, I am the Galacta Knight- The greatest warrior in the galaxy. Or whatever title people know me by, there's too much to keep track of!"

"......."

"So..." the warrior steps closer towards the dark knight, lowering his eye level to match his. "What brings you to this place?"

"!?!-"

[-pause music-]

What's with that look? Place? Is that implying something else other than this store?

Does he know? Does Galacta Knight know he was Meta Knight's reflection? If he does...then that means he's been toying with him earlier...but why? Is he suspicious of him?

"Hmph, I'm just here to pick up my groceries. It doesn't concern you-"

"And you expect me to believe you so easily?"

The galactic warrior approaches closer, practically almost touching the mirror knight's forehead. Never before had Dark Meta Knight truly feared anyone, including Dark Mind. But...

As his eyes met with the piercing red gaze of the temporal warrior's, every fiber of his body stood on edge. Even a fool could realize how dangerous this situation is-!

Dark Meta Knight still held his composure despite Galacta Knight's overwhelming presence. He wasn't going to let this stop him from getting what he wants. After all, leaving now would mean giving up and that definitely wasn't an option for the dark knight.

"I don't know what you take me for, but I can assure you, I merely came here to shop."

"No, that's not the only reason why you're here. I know what you're doing."

What? But he really WAS there to just buy tomato soup...unless...no, it can't be- how could he possibly know about- that's impossible. The chance of Galacta Knight knowing of his project were near to zero, not to mention that this bird wasn't present during Dark Mind's invasion-

"You're not only here to shop, you're here to....avoid your brother."

..........this couldn't get any more ridiculous.

[-Resume music-]

Galacta Knight backed away and assumed a more friendly tone.

"I know when a person is intentionally trying to avoid somebody. You're trying to hide from him, aren't you? Did you have a little sibling quarrel~?"

Dark Meta Knight grumbled underneath his cape and glared at him. The knight desperately wanted to snatch the soup can and leave as he wasn't going to waste time with this man. But then, something appeared in his mind. Didn't Galacta Knight have something to do with those Jamba Hearts prior to his imprisonment? This changes everything, because the warrior's knowledge on them was very valuable to him. Knowing this, the dark knight decided to play along with whatever his new "friend" had in store.

"....yes."

"Hah, I knew it!"

Galacta Knight lightly chuckles and swiftly steps over to his side, playfully patting his shoulder. As he does so, the warrior looks fixedly on the small bits of white paint on Dark Meta Knight's pauldron, noticing the scratches. But before he could think of anything, the knight immediately pushed him off and burried his face further into the dark fabric.

"Don't touch me."

"Ah, my apologies. It was rude of me to treat you so friendly even though we've just met. You just remind me of your brother, thats all. Haha!"

Dark Meta Knight had no idea why Galacta Knight was acting so friendly towards him. It was....very strange. He was not used to this feeling. Even though he did experience kindness from a fairy and her human, something about this encounter was much different.

"Come on, what are you standing around for? You're here to pick up groceries right? Then let's do it together, that would buy you some more time to avoid Meta Knight~"

"I-.....alright..."

It wouldn't hurt to look around, even though he only had enough for a maxim tomato soup can. Before he could finish his train of thought, he felt his hand getting grabbed through his cape.

"Forward~!☆"

Galacta Knight lightly pulls his hand, signaling Dark Meta Knight to start moving. He turns around to smile warmly at him as he does so, despite knowing his mask would cast shade over it. In response, the knight sighs defeatedly and follows along.
