Metagala

Metagala is the slash ship between Meta Knight and Galacta Knight from the Kirby fandom.

Canon
During the Meta Knightmare Ultra sidegame/mode in Kirby Super Star Ultra (2008), Meta Knight goes out on what's basically a killing spree, motivated to become the 'strongest warrior in the galaxy', leading to him summoning Galactic Nova in order to summon the current strongest warrior, who is Galacta Knight, for the sake of fighting and defeating him, in which Nova at least seemingly attempts to warn Meta Knight that doing so would be a bad idea. Meta Knight however, not giving a darn about what the cat-faced wishing star says, summons Galacta Knight anyways.

After defeating Galacta Knight, the pink warrior is resealed in the crystal prison they had been sealed in for the many eons beforehand. However, all of Galacta Knight's bossfights are non-canon, due to always being in non-canon sidemodes.

Galacta Knight then makes his second appearance in Kirby's Return To Dreamland, released in 2011, once again as a non-canon bossfight in round 13 of The True Arena, where you can fight him as either Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, or Bandana Waddle Dee.

Meta Knight and Galacta Knight do not physically appear in Kirby Triple Deluxe, and are both reduced to keychains.

Both Meta and Galacta once again appear again in Kirby Planet Robobot, in which the Haltmann Works Company literally kidnaps Meta Knight and turns him into a cyborg, being given the title of Mecha Knight, leading to Susie making him fight Kirby, you fight Mecha Knight again after he is upgraded to Mecha Knight +, before having 2 more boss fights in the form of President Haltmann and Star Dream.

However, in the Meta Knightmare Returns mode, you can once again play as Meta Knight and go on another killing spree, culminating in another Galacta Knight boss fight, after defeating clones of Dark Matter Swordsman and Queen Sectonia which were summoned by Star Dream. Almost immediately after being summoned by Star Dream, Galacta Knight lashes out at the supercomputer and destroys it with a single swipe of his lance. You guess what happens next.

Galacta Knight's final mainline appearance outside of Super Kirby Clash is in Kirby Star Allies, where he's not even fought but is instead a meer introduction to Morpho Knight in the Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go mode, but at least Meta Knight gets a boss fight early on in both the Story Mode, but also Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go mode, where he is under control of the Jamba Hearts, but at least keeps enough of his honor to wait for you to grab a sword, but not willing to wait forever because he has a life to live. He does whistle parts of his theme though if you keep him waiting long enough.

Fanon
Since Meta Knight's characterization is extremely vague and limited within the games and his motives to fight Galacta are almost always boiled down to a simple desire for a good fight, fans thought that his constant fights with Galacta Knight might just be that he has no idea on any other ways to interact with the other knight, due to possibly being in love with Galacta. Many fans on specifically websites like Deviantart see Galacta Knight as being female, while other people see Galacta Knight as being male. Eitherway, Meta Knight's still shipped with Galacta Knight sometimes, albeit the fact that the ship is usually overshadowed by the far more popular ship, Metadede.

Common portrayals show the ship as a sort of romantic type of rivalry, almost like a Naruto and Sasuke situation, and mainly on sites like Tumblr, will even portray it like a found family situations, often involving Kirby as their adoptive son, which therefore gives Kirby a couple of badass knight dads, which is absolutely the best family dynamic to ever exist and that's a fact. Galacta Knight is also quite often portrayed in a way similar to how Meta Knight was portrayed in Kirby Right Back At Ya, but less spanish, and more pink.
