Meta Knight let out a small 'hmph' as he found nothing. This style of fighting was entirely new to him, then. He would have to tread carefully, both gauging Amaterasu's abilities as well as keeping up with blocking them.

The beads at least were visible. Meta Knight withdrew his sword and placed its flat side facing outward, so as the beads whipped out they met that and not the edge. A moment passed, and he lashed back out with a quick strike at them.
