Tell me, citizens of Dream Land. For what purpose have you come to consult me?
We seek your wisdom and knowledge, Kabu! For three nights a giant monster has been stealing our sheep.
And it's robbing me of my beauty sleep.
King Dedede says it's not his monster...
But I don't believe that rascal.
You know the truth, Kabu!
Please tell us where the monster is, Kabu, and how we can make it go away.
The monster is here. And all of Dream Land is in grave danger.
It was called here by your own King Dedede. [in the distance, Dedede and Escargoon are watching from Dedede's tank]
Escargoon
Sounds like the big Kabu-na's got your number, crownie.
[punches Escargoon on the head] That tattle-telling tiki!
The monster was created, by one far more powerful than King Dedede.
I'd like to lock both of them up.
What can we do to stop them?
There is nothing you can do.
[Everyone is in shock]
Then is Dream Land doomed?
There is one hope... a Star Warrior traveling through space... whose name is Kirby.
[He and Escargoon enter] That's trash you're talking, Kabu. Ain't no such person as Kirby.
Escargoon
That's right. You're full of Kabu-loney.
Then why don't you predict what's gonna happen when I push this here button?
I predict you will not push it.
Hey Escargoon, did ya hear that one? [laughs] Well I predict you're dead wrong!
[screams upon seeing that Octacon has grown to its true size] HOLY CALAMARI!
Escargoon
Get back in your tank, you overgrown appetizer!
[tackles Escargoon] Find the receipt for this thing, 'cause I want my money back!
You had better leave, Sire.
We gotta do somethin'. We gotta get rid of Kirby somehow before he gets settled in here.
Escargoon
Well, King Dedede, if you want my opinion-- [Dedede bonks him on the head with his binoculars]
Who wants your opinion, when I want some monster that's gonna get rid of that little pink pest once and for all? [activates the monitor and the N.M.E. Sales Guy comes on screen]
Welcome back to Nightmare Enterprises online monster site, King Dedede. As you know, we offer a full line of powerful monsters. [shows several mini-monsters dancing]
Yeah, well that octopus you sent me last time was a weaklin'.
Now that we know your opponent is Kirby, all our monsters have new, improved attack powers. [gets beaten up by the mini-monsters] See what I mean?
They look like rejects to me. I need somethin' strong enough to get rid o' that Kirby...for good!
Well, that pink punk ain't gonna make a monkey outta King Dedede! [starts driving back to his castle only to be interrupted by Meta Knight] Outta my way, Meta Knight!
Sire, it is my duty to warn you. Kirby has great power now.
Yeah? Well, who's the king around here, you or me?
Escargoon
Move it or lose it!
It pains me to do this, sire. But I am afraid I must. [kicks Dedede's tank downhill]
Escargoon
We're going backwards!
I know that! Hit the brakes!
Escargoon
They won't hold, we're gonna crash!
Escargoon
Like what?!
[The tank reverses off a nearby cliff and crashes off-screen]
QUIET!!! [pointing at Tiff] You're hidin' somethin' from me!
Please, Your Majesty, calm down.
Use your brain instead of your mouth. [Sir Ebrum tries to shush her]
Sir Ebrum. Lady Like. This here daughter of yours is holdin' information from me. She keepin' secrets about Kirby.
Escargoon
You've been aiding an alien, you traitor.
Well if she's a traitor, prove it!
[Dedede and Escargoon laugh heartily]
It just so happens I got proof right here. [holds up a picture of a familiar-looking scene] This picture look familiar?
That's Kirby beatin' the monster!
[a flashback occurs to the time that Kirby demonstrated his powers for the first time and defeated Octacon]
[tears another picture in half] Now what do you got to say for yourselves?
[as she and the rest of the family look at the pictures] That Kirby is really photogenic.
Did you use a digital camera, Sire?
Listen here! You two think you're smart, don't ya? Well I'm a lot smarter. [holds up a picture of Kirby's starship] Kirby ain't goin' nowhere without this!
[singing, while using his tank's crop-duster to make a huge image in the ground of Kirby with a fork and knife next to Dyna Blade's egg] ♪ Dyna Blade had an egg she laid, E-I-E-I-O! But a handsome king had a plan he made, E-I-E-I-O! When Kirby eats that big old egg, Dyna Blade gonna grab Kirby by the leg, drag him away to her secret lair, finally get Kirby out of my hair! Dyna Blade- ♪ Hey, look!
Escargoon
Let's hide.
