YALL DONT EVEN JNOW. READ READ READ READ READ

I finally finished writing my first fic ever ever and I’m so excited

And yes it’s metasusie

I hope you guys enjoy !! I had lots of fun writing it!!

(Title is still tbd but I wanted to post it still so yeah)

My Name is Susanna Patrya Haltmann, I’m 44 years old, and I work for Haltmann Works co.

My father is the president of this company, and I am his “secretary”. I have been working undercover for the last 4 years, waiting for my chance to be called to the “Heart of the Company”, Haltmanns’ office. If I am successful, this will allow me to be reunited with my father, rid him of Mother Computer, and save our company from turning to complete darkness and ruin. My latest project is called the “Mechanization Program”, and I trust this will be the most successful plan of mine, up to date.

She closed her journal and locked it away in her desk. The pressure of status seeking in HWC was an intense affair, but nothing she couldn’t handle. Being called to Haltmanns’ office was the highest form of validation an employee could receive, and though she had spent the last 4 years waiting for her chance, in the end, it would all be worth it, just to see her father again.

The intercom buzzed, “An intruder has entered the building”.

The unexpected message excited her, “Time to meet our visitor!” she chirped, while clapping her hands together. Susie grabbed her tranquilizer, and left to meet her guest.

Meta knight raided the intruder’s ship, and planned to face their leader head on. He hated that such large responsibility was always assigned to Kirby, and felt it was his due diligence to contribute to the salvation of Popstar.

Finding his way through their labyrinth of a base would be difficult though, but he was confident he would be just fine on his own. After getting through the security guards, he tried making out his surroundings, until suddenly, all the doors around him began to shut abruptly. He ran to find an escape before all the doors shut, but he was too late, and found himself trapped in the middle.

It became suspiciously quiet and he couldn’t decipher his surroundings. He relied on his other senses to gather information about his environments, as his vision had been compromised many years ago. He lifted his mask slightly, tightened his grip on Galaxia, and began clicking vocally. Under normal circumstances, the sound would bounce off of his surroundings, allowing him to tell what was around him, but this time he couldn’t get any information at all. The only thing he heard was a small whirring noise, however he still couldn’t tell where it came from. He raised Galaxia towards what he deemed to be a door and prepared to slice through it, that was until a sharp pain pierced his arm. His hand shot to the affected area, and he pulled out a small dart. Not long after, he fell to the ground unconscious, and the last thing he heard was the tapping of someone walking towards him.

He found himself in an extremely bright room, and was completely clueless as to where he was. He noticed his mask, armor, and sword were all gone, and he was in a… hospital gown?? It didn’t really matter to him, he was more upset about his mask being gone.

“Ah you’re awake! Perfect!”

He jumped from the unexpected greeting and covered his face.

“Who are you, and where am I?” he asked coldly.

“Oh! How impolite of me! My name is Susie! I am secretary of Haltmann Works Company, and head of the Haltmann Works Mechanization Program!” she replied, weirdly peppy.

“Let me ask you,”she asked in a persuasive manner, “don’t you think Popstar is a lovely planet? It’s filled to the brim with natural resources, and lovely little communities of people, but there’s always room for improvement, right?”

Meta Knight supposed this was true, their society worked, but was not always very efficient. Popstar could use a better protection, education, media, and economic system, so he had to agree with her statement.

“I suppose..” he replied in a suspicious tone.

“Well! With the help of the Haltmann Works Mechanization Program, your planet's full potential will be unlocked through the power of technology!”

He stayed quiet, and she could tell that he wasn’t convinced.

“Okay, forget about that, let me be honest with you, I’m not really “working” for Haltmann, I’m undercover. Haltmann Works is trying to drain planets of their resources to continue upgrading the mother computer. The Mechanization Program is just a cover up for me to get to the heart of the company and get rid of the mother computer once and for all, that’s why I need your help.”

He seemed more intrigued now, but still needed convincing.

“Why do you need my help?” He asked, still skeptical.

“I saw the way you fought, you’re extremely agile and talented in combat”, she stepped towards him and moved his hands, “ and yet, you are completely blind. You impress me”.

He pushed her hands off his face and covered himself again.

“From what I know, you’re a man who likes improvement, right?”

“Everyone likes improving themselves”, he replied.

“Well sure! But not to the extent of traveling to space to release the “Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy”, only to fight them and win.”, she said in a snarky tone.

“How did you know that…”, he asked suspiciously.

“I’ve done my research, and I know that you are Popstar’s pride and joy, their Lone Swordsman, their Surviving Guardian. I need the best of the best to help me with this project. “Mechanization” is merely an add on to the person's body, it allows for them to fight for 24 hours without needing rest, making them a literal fighting machine. The suit is sort of a cyborg-like mechanism, but without all the surgery. It’s armor that moves you! It’s still quite experimental, but that’s why I need it to be you. You are in the adequate health and condition for this, and have the perfect skill and willpower for the job. If the mechanization is a success, and President Haltmann is impressed, I will be invited into the heart of the company, giving me the chance to finally get rid of the Mother Computer once and for all. So what do you say?”, she asked eager to convince him to help her.

“Okay… fine, you got me.” He replied.

“Great! Now let’s sign some papers!”

She typed up a contract declaring their alliance, and for the sake of Popstar and her plan as a whole, was absolutely withdrawing from their agreement. They were going to work together to get Susie to the heart of the company, and destroy it from the inside out.

As much as Meta hated it, he was really intrigued by the mechanization process and was quite excited to get started. He always valued improvement when it came to combat, so this sweetened the deal even more for him.

She read the full contract aloud to him, making sure he had a complete idea of what was required, and prepared for them to sign.

“Alright, go ahead and sign on this dotted line, and I will too!”

She guided his hand on the paper, he signed, and she followed.

“We’ll begin working on your mecha suit tomorrow, but now, let me take you to your room!”

She led him down the hall and unlocked one of the spare rooms.

“Alright, here’s where you’ll be staying, feel free to walk around if you need to, and here’s a complimentary Haltmann works loungewear set!”, she handed him the folded clothes, and smiled, “by the way, your armor and sword is in the closet, so don’t worry about that! Good night Sir Meta Knight, sleep well!”, she said while turning to leave.

Who knew defeating Haltmann works would be so relaxing!

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door, it was Susie.

“Good morning! May I come in?” She asked politely.

“You may.”Meta replied groggily.

“I hope you slept well! Because we have a busy day today! Today we’ll be designing your mech suit, and just getting to know each other a little more!”, she explained enthusiastically.

He found her excitement kind of endearing, but he was still very tired and couldn’t quite respond the same way, and replied with a monotone “Okay”.

She sat down in one of the chairs in his room and began describing to him how the armor would work, and at the same time was designing its appearance on paper. They spent the rest of the morning discussing their plans for the mech suit until Susie’s presence was needed someplace else.

“Secretary Susie, you are needed in President Haltmanns’ office immediately.”

Her face dropped, and she immediately got up to leave. “I will be right back, don’t leave!”

She left in a hurry and headed towards the elevator.

The trip to Haltmanns office felt like it went on for hours. Susie stood in the elevator fidgeting with her hands, thinking of how she would even go about talking to her father again. All 34 years had led up to this moment, and she was unsure how to feel. The elevator stopped, opened, and she walked out. She stepped into Haltmanns office and mustered up all her courage to speak.

“You wanted to see me President Haltmann?”, she asked when she walked in.

“Please sit down Susie”, he replied coldly.

She walked towards the chair in front of his desk and sat down.

“Secretary Susie… I must say, I’m quite impressed with your new project. I never would have expected this much from someone in your position, and I must say, using one of the civilians to our advantage is quite brilliant. At this rate, you may be seeing a promotion very soon.” He told her with an egotistical smile.

“Thank you sir” she replied looking down.

“Please make sure the civilian is guarded, as well as the other entrances! I would hate to see my precious Mother Computer damaged!” he demanded.

He looked up at her, with a confused face.

“Why are you still here? I have finished talking, you’re dismissed! Wouldn't want you to lose any hours” he added with a narcissistic chuckle, while motioning for her to leave.

“What? That's it?” she asked, confused.

“Excuse me? What do you mean?”

“Well I mean, it’s been 34 years.. don’t tell me you don’t remember me??”

She got up and walked towards him.

“What do you think you are doing! You act as if this is your own office!” He replied, scooting his chair away from her.

“It’s me! Susie! Susanna Patrya Haltmann! You named me! You’ve waited 34 years and I’m finally back! Please tell me you haven’t forgotten about me!” She told him desperately waiting for any sign of recognition.

“You’re a madwoman! If you have any more outbursts like this I will see to it that you are relieved of your position and dismissed from this company! Do not make me regret my previous statements! Get out of my office… now”

She left her father’s office and felt all her hope burn away. All her hard work was for nothing, four long years of climbing the corporate ladder to see her father for one moment just for it to all come crumbling down. She truly had no one. She finally realized she was completely and utterly alone, whether she was in an alternate dimension, or back home.

Meta Knight was asleep in his room, trying to get back the sleep he lost when he was woken up so early, when suddenly he heard someone walk in. He sat up and started clicking.

“It’s me..” Susie said in a low tone.

“Oh.”

She moved a chair close to his bed and sat there for a moment. He was still clicking out of habit, and noticed she was closer now. He sat up, faced her, and waited for her to say something.

“I need to hug you..”she insisted.

“What? No, why do you need to do that?” He replied, puzzled at her request.

“Please!.. Please let me.. I need this.”, she pleaded.

“Fine…”. He gave in and moved towards her.

She hugged him awkwardly at first, trying not to touch him as much, but she eventually ended up giving him a full on embrace. Her head rested on his shoulder and she finally absorbed the warmth of another person.

She had waited for this moment for so long, but still it didn’t play out the way she wanted it to. The lump in her throat finally got the best of her and her eyes started watering. Meta knight felt her shudder, and knew something was wrong, but didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask.

“I’m sorry if this is uncomfortable for you… I just”, she paused and sniffled, “I haven’t had anyone to hold me in so long… thirty four years of solace… I couldn’t do it anymore”.

His shoulders became less tense and he knew exactly what she meant. He had felt this kind of pain before, he had lost his family before, and he spent years waiting for an embrace during that time, and it never happened.

“My father is the president of this company, and it pains my heart to see the evil he has done. He is not the man he used to be… and I have to sit here and act like I never knew him. He doesn’t know me anymore, I never existed”.

Tears continued pouring down her face, and she moved herself closer.

“He’s devoted his life to Mother Computer now, and I mean nothing to him anymore”. She dug her face into him and wept.

A few minutes passed and she realized what she was doing.

“I’m sorry, I’ll go ahead and leave you alone. Just forget about all of that, you don’t need to say anything”

She moved away from him and was about to get up, when she suddenly felt herself being tugged back. Meta knight put her back on his shoulder, and she embraced him in an instant.

“You and I… we are the same story told in different ways”, he said reassuring her. “I have lost many people I once held dear to me, some returned… some did not, but either way, I understand how alienating it is to be on your own in times of hardship”.

He wrapped his arms around her, and the two of them sat there until Susie could finally calm down.

They spent the rest of the afternoon together in his room. He listened to her story and told his in return. He even told her about his son, Kirby, and found out that Kirby and Susie had already met. She hated to admit that they had met to duel, but weirdly enough, this excited him? He asked about what strategies he used, and seemed very proud. Before they knew it, it was night, and Susie realized she spent all day with him.

“Ah, I had better get going now, I know you probably want to be left alone now! Apologies for overstaying my welcome. Goodnight!”, she said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

She got up from the bed and started walking towards the door.

“Wait… ah”, he said impulsively.

She turned around with a confused look on her face and waited for a response.

“Do you have to leave?.. You’re welcome to stay if you’d like…” he said, his face turning slightly red.

“Are you sure? I wouldn’t want to make you any more uncomfortable than I already have.” She replied, slightly tilting her face.

“Of course.” He said awkwardly.

“Ok! It’ll be like a slumber party!!”, she exclaimed, and ran off to get ready.

They sat on his bed like a couple of awkward teenagers, at first, but got comfortable soon after. She sat and played with his hair and shared some of the latest office gossip, while he listened to it all. She kept him up late with her stories, but he didn’t mind, he actually liked listening to her. At the moment, he was still getting used to her company, but she was more genuine and gentle than he had expected, and he liked that about her. As for her, she felt like she finally had someone to listen to all the things she wanted to say after so long. She liked his company, and was so excited to be working with him.

She finally decided to get up and get herself ready for bed, and went to brush her hair in the mirror. As she was walking back towards the bed, she saw that Meta knight had already fallen asleep. Cautiously, she lifted the covers to slip into bed unnoticed, and shifted herself next to him.

She felt the silence becoming louder and couldn’t tell if he was comfortable with her being there. She thought about leaving, until she felt him move towards her. He moved his hand, and slightly tapped hers. She smiled and grasped his hand gently. They fell asleep hand in hand, and woke up in each other’s arms.

The following morning, they started making adjustments to his armor, and preparing him for their plan. They tried staying on task, but found themselves getting distracted and talking rather than actually working. Eventually they finalized his suit, and planned to take it out for a spin. Their plan was to program his attacks only on intruders, label one of the test dummies as an intruder, and see what he could do.

They headed into one of the testing regions of the building to start his training, when all of a sudden, an actual intruder entered the building! It was Kirby! He ran into the room and saw Meta knight in armor and waved. Susie spoke to him through his headset and told him who it was.

“Are you sure you want to fight him, I can override the programming if you’d like”, she asked him with a worried tone in her voice.

“No, continue on with our plan, he needs to be prepared for any curve I throw at him. He should know what to do.” He replied eagerly.

They continued with their plan, and he and Kirby dueled like they had before, this time with a different twist. Kirby enjoyed dueling with Meta knight, and they had practice on a daily basis. He, much like his dad, was very competitive, and was always prepared for anything new.

In the end, Kirby emerged victorious, but in return, caused Meta knight to lose his balance and topple off the edge of the platform he was on. Susie jumped from the sound and peeked over to see if he was okay.

“Are you hurt?! Please tell me!!”, she yelled anxiously.

“Yes… I am…”, He groaned, and she hurried down to take care of him.

She looked back at Kirby and he was… singing and dancing? He was a strange little kid, but it didn’t matter, she had more pressing matters to tend to.

She took him back to the lab and tended to his wounds. Luckily, the armor cushioned his fall in a way, and the only thing that was really damaged was the armor itself. Meta knight had a few cuts and bruises, but nothing he hadn’t already experienced before, especially when it came to battling with Kirby.

“Why do you think you lost?”, Susie asked while jotting down notes from their battle.

“I suppose I’m just not used to the armor yet”, he replied, slightly ashamed at her question.

“What if you had your vision?”, she asked hypothetically.

“I suppose that would give me a better advantage, but that’s impossible”, he replied.

“Not with the power of technology!” She added in a bright tone.

“Right.. like you can replace my eyes with screens”, he scoffed.

“You underestimate me, I am the daughter of a technological genius after all!”

“Sure! But how can I trust you know how to do a surgery as complicated as this?”, he said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes and lifted up her right sleeve to reveal her completely prosthetic arm. She grabbed his hand and placed it on her mechanical arm and had him feel.

“You did this all yourself?” he asked, astonished at how professional her work was.

“Your hand is warm! How did you make such a lifelike mechanism?”, he added.

“I had a long time to create prototypes, and master the art!!” She replied while playfully patting his face.

“So, do you trust me to fix your vision? It would be quite simple really, the only part that would need healing would be your facial tissue since your eyes would be completely mechanical. They would get used to the environment almost immediately!” She said cheerfully.

“I’m still uneasy… Have you ever fixed someone’s vision before?”, he asked, unsure if he really trusted her with something so delicate.

“Of course I have silly! My own vision! It was partially damaged while I was in that dimension. Since it was so dark, I became partially blind, so I had no other choice but to fix it myself! That’s why I’m so confident in my abilities!” She replied happily.

“How did you manage to… you know?” He asked while gesturing to his eye.

“It was quite a tedious procedure, but it was right when I began working at the company, so I had many resources to help me, and once I got the process down, it became a simple puzzle really!” She replied.

“So what do you say!”, she added cheerfully.

He never really thought about what it would be like if he ever got his vision back, but he knew that an opportunity like this would never happen again, and what kind of fool would pass up the chance to see again.

“I have to admit, you’d be an excellent saleswoman”, he said chuckling, “let’s do it”

“Yay!!! Let’s go sign some more papers!!”

The surgery would be quick and painless for Meta knight, and the healing process would only take about a week, so she planned to work on fixing and upgrading the mech suit during that time while also trying to keep Kirby from blowing their plan.

The day prior to the surgery, Susie designed and built his prosthetics, and the following morning she had everything fully prepared.

Meta knight layed on the surgical table, while Susie gathered her materials, and finally she was ready to start. She placed the anesthesia mask on his face and asked him to count backwards from 10. From there, she began surgery.

The whole procedure took about three and a half hours, and before she knew it, she was finished sewing the last stitch.

“How do you feel?” she asked, while rubbing his hand.

“Tired… and my head hurts a little, but otherwise, I’m fine…” he responded half asleep.

“You’ll need some time to rest, so go ahead and get some sleep! Call me if you need anything. Sleep well!”

She left him in his room to sleep, and headed off to the lab to continue working on the mech suit. It would be quite the task, since it took quite some damage from the fall.

The recovery period took about a week, and during that time, Susie kept Kirby from getting to the heart of the company before she could, and also made sure to check on the progress of his recuperation.

It was finally time to remove his bandages, and test his vision, and Susie was ecstatic! She was excited for him to see the beautiful artistry and detail she added to his prosthetics, his pupils would be a lovely gold to compliment the blue on his armor, and they were maybe some of the best prosthetics she had made yet.

She began unwrapping the bandages from his face.

“Take your time to open and adjust your eyes to the environment, okay?” she advised him

He opened his eyes slowly, and it took him a while to get them to a point where he could open them fully.

When he finally opened his eyes, he stared into her face for a while without saying a word. His face felt pale, and frantically he grabbed her face and brought it closer to his. He examined her face up close while unknowingly, still clicking out of habit.

He immediately dropped his face into his hands and groaned.

“What! What's wrong! Are you okay?!” she asked anxiously

There was no reply, and all she noticed was his body shuddering.

“Stop it! Please talk to me!”

He looked up at her again and embraced her instantly.

“Thank you…” he replied, and held her.

The following morning, she visited and greeted him as usual, but his behavior was quite off. He stood in front of the mirror staring into his face, expressionless. His hands traced the outlines of the scars on his face, and he sighed.

“How do you feel today?” she asked slightly concerned.

He stayed silent, and walked to the bed. So many thoughts rushed through his head that last night, people knew that he never saw, family he loved that he hadn't seen in years, his own son would be a completely new face to him, and he couldn't believe he was stuck here.

“Umm well okay…” she said, slightly embarrassed.

“I do have some bad news unfortunately, the mech suit will probably take a bit longer than I expected. I have ideas for upgrades I’d like to add, but luckily it's mostly completed.”

“What… no, we have to get this done as soon as possible” he insisted.

“I’m sorry, but that's just not possible!”

He looked at her, and then back down at his hands.

“I’m sorry Susie… I don't know if i can do this anymore…” he said dejectedly.

“What? No you can't!” She responded slightly frustrated.

“You can't just walk in here, benefit from my abilities and not help me in return! And besides! You signed the contract, knowing very well there was no backing out!”

“I just… There's so much going on right now.. I cant wait any longer, I need to go home!”

“Just… Okay I'll finish as much as I can now, and-”

The intercom buzzed “An intruder has entered the building” and Susie jumped up to leave.

“It's Kirby, I have to keep him from going into Haltmanns’ office.” she said nervously

“Wait, let him go. I'm ready to use the mech suit as is, Kirby will be more helpful than we expected.”

Kirby made it to the Heart of the Company, and he met Susie there. She introduced Mecha Knight plus and his upgrades. With the press of a button, the mech suit was activated, and the battle began. Meta Knight kept his eyes closed during the entire battle, refusing to look at Kirby, but because he was so distracted by making sure his eyes were closed, he ended up faltering and failing

The mech suit noticed he was unable to fight, and because the code had not been fully updated, it took complete control. It used extremely advanced moves on Kirby that he had never taught him before. Meta knight heard him struggling, and used all the strength he had to resist, but it was too strong. With one swift slash of his sword, Kirby split his mask into two, and broke the code that controlled him.

Meta knight ran off and blew their entire plan.

“He was supposed to win! He was supposed to show off to the old man! He was supposed to get Haltmann’s guard down! He ruined our plans!”

Susie grabbed her Business suit remote, to fight Kirby herself, until she was stopped.

“Susie! You are dismissed! Gather your things and leave this company, immediately” Haltmann said sternly.

“Yes sir” she replied, and left the office.

“What is your problem?!” she shouted, while barging into Meta Knight's room.

“You acted like you cared about me, like you cared about our plan, until you got all the benefits, and then you leave me on my own! You’re no hero! You’re a coward!”

“I can't believe I trusted you!” she yelled, while her eyes welled up with tears.

Meta Knight was silent, and she scoffed.

“You're not gonna say anything?”

“...”

“I will make it up to you…” he replied in a low tone.

“That's so easy for you to say, you don't actually have to think about these things, you don't have to put in the work, you don't have to take the blame for the mistakes, I do!”

She left his room and slammed the door.

As she was gathering her things from her desk, she looked back towards the elevator. She was willing to do anything to stop Mother Computer, and she knew if she didn't act now, the entire universe could be at stake.

She ran into Haltmann's office and snatched Mother Computers’ helmet off of Haltmanns head, but it was too late. Haltmann and Mother Computer had become one, and their galaxy was at stake.

Mother Computer took off into space, and took on the new form of Star dream.

Susie threw the helmet on the ground and slumped down. She began to sob, and realized all her hard work was for nothing, Star dream would win in the end. Kirby ran over to console her, but she nudged him away from her. She tried thinking of any way she could possibly save their universe, but she had nothing.

Kirby ran off to find a spare robot suit, hoping that maybe he could do something to help, but he was still so puny compared to such a large threat as Star dream.

She heard a large crash through a nearby windows and saw that Kirby had broken it and was looking out. She ran over to see what happened, and saw the battleship Halberd soaring above the building. Meta knight was on the deck, and nodded to Kirby, and the two of them set off to defeat Star dream. Before taking off, he lifted his mask, and looked at Susie. He nodded to her as if he was promising to keep his end of the deal and get rid of Star dream.

She clasped her hands together, and felt a glimmer of hope resurge.

“Please little pinky… you have to stop it..” she whispered, while staring out at the ongoing battle.

Meta knight and Kirby fought ruthlessly, and never gave up once, but Star dream wouldn’t stand down either. It shot a beam of energy straight towards the Halberd, and damaged the right wing. Meta knight ran toward the eject lever and shot Kirby from the ship to finish the job. As the ship started falling, Meta knight flew out from it and headed towards Kirby, knowing that if he didn’t catch him after Star dreams’ defeat, he would be lost in space on his own.

Star dream was completely demolished, and Meta knight had his son in his arms as they headed back to popstar. Kirby had fallen asleep, so he laid him down on the grass until he woke up. When he woke up, he shuffled towards Meta knight, and saw that his mask was off.

“Appa! You’re not wearing it! We’re outside, someone could see you!”

Meta knight only smiled at him and admired his baby boys’ precious face.

“What? Why are you so smiley?” Kirby giggled.

He took a closer look at his dads face, and noticed that both of his eyes were open

“Wait how did you do that? I didn’t know you could open that one!”

Kirby touched the right side of his face and noticed his pupils followed his hand.

“Appa! How are you doing that!”

Meta knight pulled Kirby towards him and squeezed him. Kirby grabbed his face and realized that his dad could really see him!

“Appa… you can see me?”

Meta knight nodded and pressed his head to his. Kirby's eyes started welling up and all he could do was watch his dads eyes watching him.

“My baby boy…”

He and Kirby sat there for a while looking into eachothers eyes, and Kirby babbled on about everything he would show his dad, every color he would teach him about, all the books they would read, and how amazing their life would be.

As they sat underneath the trees, Meta knight saw a bright pink mech flying up in the air. It was Susie.

She looked down on Popstar and spotted both of them. Meta knight waved to get her attention, and she waved goodbye. Kirby jumped up and down and yelled “Goodbye Susie!! See you soon!!”, while waving his hands.

Maybe Kirby was right, maybe one day, they would meet again.

#apple ??!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂#🍎#i love my family #Susie the best she’s the best okay yall don’t get her SHE DID ALL OF THIS AND YALL HATE HER #kirby #my favorites
