The New Hero

Chapter 1

My name is Mira, and all I can say is the following.

I am really really confused.

First, I wake up on a pitch black room  lying on a soft surface but with my hands tied to it.
Which would probably be okay if  there wasn't a pair of glowing yellow eyes staring at me.

I yelp at the sight of them, giving away the fact that I'm totally awake.

"Are you still scared of me, little one?" Questions the pair of creepy glowing eyes.

After mustering every ounce of courage I have to be able to respond to that question, I manage to say :
"I think that maybe I would be less scared if this room had some light on it, also my name ain't little one but Mira."

Strange, I don't remember my voice being as aged. Last time I checked, I'm only 12, and by Star Warrior standards, I should have a somewhat softer voice and also a vocal tic which I oddly don't remember what is it anymore.

Let's just add it to the confusion meter I'm building quite fast in just about 2 minutes shall we.

"Oh right, not everyone has night vision like I do." He says in a amused tone. "This will do." He pushes the curtains from a small window, which now lets some rays of light come into the room.

The room looks like some sort of library, bookshelves being just about everywhere, and the makeshift bed I'm currently tied to is next to the window.

But something makes all my senses be in awe and confusion at the same time.

The one standing in front of me, is none other than Sir Meta Knight.
He is a blue Star Warrior that wears a V-shaped mask and is the one who possesses Galaxia, the legendary sword along with the Dimensional Cape.

And also just about the coolest Star Warrior ever, I'm pretty sure that he's very popular with girls too.

Apparently he's confused too because he's now staring at me with orange eyes instead of the usual yellow.

"Are you alright, Mira? He asks, thinking I'm mentally lost.

"It's just that, I can't believe that I am here, in front of one of the coolest Star Warriors." I say in awe.
"Actually, why I am I tied here?"I demand as I just manage to remind myself of that little but big detail.

"You are tied here because I would like to know a couple of things." He says in a very serious tone, which makes me suddenly grow a bit afraid.

"I haven't done anything bad, did I? I say as I don't recall doing anything bad ever since my ship crash landed on this planet. Other than maybe molesting a blue fat penguin, but they had it coming to be frank.

"What is the last thing you remember?" He questions me, and the answer is obvious to me.

"Crash landing on this planet, trying to have some payback on a fat blue penguin, and then feeling strangely attracted to a mirror flying on the air. " I say with a certitude to which he just responds with his eyes going green.

Suddenly he goes over a shelf and pulls out a book titled : Dark artifacts and their characteristics.
After looking through half of the book in a matter of seconds, he closes it and puts it back onto its shelf and comes next to me and unties me.

"It seems that you felt victim to the Dimensional Mirror influence." To which he adds. "The Dimensional Mirror used you to make a copy of another person, the only difference is that the copy is an extremely evil version of that person."He seems extremely concerned by what he just said.

"And do you know who was copied?"I ask with already some idea of what his answer is.

"That copy was called Dark Meta Knight."He says with a very grave tone, which is not surprising giving that he probably had to fight himself to death.

"Wait so does this mean you were fighting me all this time, while I was being possessed by some evil thing?" I ask him to which he just nods.

"But why was the Mirror here in the first place?" I ask with some degree of confusion.

"NME, also known as Nightmare Enterprises, used the Dimensional Mirror on a couple of planets where I would most likely hide, as it will copy the strongest being on that planet. His statement confuses me even more.

"Why would you hide, don't you have an army?"Apparently what I just said brought a very sad and gloomy atmosphere to this room.

"I am the only one that is left." He says with a tone of sadness which might probably make me cry if I was in front of another person.

"We waited for his arrival every single day. We fought every time with all we've got, even if it means we lost, because we were hoping that someday he would appear. Even though I am really the last one, I still hope he appears one day." Again, I'm confused again as to who we're referring to.

"If you don't mind, who is this person?" I ask him.

"Have you ever heard of the Warrior of the Stars?" I freeze up as I hear that title.
I think I have heard that name, and it doesn't seem to be that long since I did.

But suddenly it all clicks in.

"He was supposed to be the one to defeat Nightmare, but Nightmare announced us that he was in possession of him." Meta Knight seems very surprised by that second statement, but there is more.

"He was also the one who stormed the  colony where I lived, and killed my family. I could never forget that pink-magenta puff, let alone his cross shaped mask and his lance..."
