|Along with | |Along with King Dedede, Meta Knight is affected by the falling hearts, giving in to his older tendencies as Kirby's opponent rather than his ally. He meets Kirby's team at the [[Sacred Square]] on Popstar and challenges them to a duel, using the power of the dark heart to split into as few as two to as many as four copies of himself during the battle. Like Dedede, Meta Knight is freed from the heart's influence and joins Kirby after his defeat. | ||

His incantation broke the seal on the heart, but it also unintentionally caused the heart to shatter into fragments and scatter across the universe. As Kirby and his team make their way to [[The Divine Terminus]], Hyness is unable to completely restore the heart, so after being bested by the Star Allies, he sacrifices himself and The Three Mage-Sisters to complete the heart and unleash [[Void Termina]] onto the universe. | ||
