Overdue bills. King Dedede owed us big time and this was the only way we could collect. Ta ta! [signs off]
TTuff
Wow, Escargoon. Looks like your plan cost him a lot of money.
He deserved it! Life ain't a free ride, kid. You gotta pay for everythin'.
[King Dedede enters the throne room chuckling to everyone's surprise]
That's right, Escargoon. And now you gonna pay big time! [runs after Escargoon with his hammer, scaring the others while Kirby happily dodges]
He wasn't a father! He was a... weakling!
In this case, I am glad that he is gone, so that he doesn't have to see the monster you have become.
What? I ain't no monster!
Anyone who abandons his reason, and lives only by hatred, is a monster.
Knuckle Joe... What we do makes us monsters. And look what you've done to Kirby.
TTuff
That's what a monster would do.
Wrong! I am not a monster!
I am not so sure. You lived on hatred. And that is what eNeMeE loves.
And on that day, all of our dreams came true. The beautiful princess married the handsome prince and they all lived happily ever after. How'd you like that story, Kirby?
TTuff
Ah, I think these fairy tales are bogus. All that prince and princess junk's all made up, anyway.
Maybe so, but fairy tales aren't supposed to be like real life.
Children! Children, we have incredibly exciting news!
A princess is coming to visit Cappy Town!
TTuff
You mean a real life princess?
Yes, the princess Rona! She's making a tour of Dream Land and she's scheduled a short visit with us!
We don't have time to talk! The princess is coming, we have to skedaddle!
TTuff
He-hey! This is awesome!
You said princesses were junk.
TTuff
Princesses in fairy tales are, but princesses in Cappy Town aren't!
TTuff
Wow, Tiff, I never knew what girls could be like 'til I met Princess Rona.
And what is that supposed to mean?
TTuff
Before I met Princess Rona, I thought all girls were like you.
Is that so? Well before I met Commander Vee, I thought boys were like you. But now I know they can be gallant and handsome. ["Commander Vee" turns to her as if "he" just heard her. She gasps] I hope he didn't just hear me...
You must be Sir Ebrum's daughter, Tiff. I'm very pleased to meet you, Tiff.
I'm very pleased to meet you, Commander Vee.
And this amiable young man must be your brother Tuff.
TTuff
[groans] What's amiable mean?
And who's your little pink pet?
Kirby isn't a pet! Kirby's a Star Warrior, Commander Vee.
Oh, a Star Warrior! I beg your pardon, Kirby! Please forgive my mistake. I'm especially pleased to make your acquaintance.
Poyo! [moves closer to "Vee" in a friendly manner]
[laughs] You're quite friendly for a warrior.
[laughs and bursts in with a bouquet of roses in hand] Sorry to louse up yer lunch. Ah, blossoms for a blossom.
I am very grateful, King.
Princess, I'm about to show ya the best time ya ever had in yer royal life.
I'm afraid that won't be possible.
Her Highness needs to rest after a long journey to your planet, and she doesn't desire a tour guide.
Are you sure? He knows where all the hot spots are. He knows where you can get a pizza at 3 in the morning.
It's getting very late. Good night, Kirby.
On behalf of the Princess, we thank you for your kind hospitality.
Yes. Thank you very much.
I know we're having fun, Commander. But don't you have to get back to the princess?
She can take care of herself a little while longer. We should all have as much fun as we can, while we can.
What's the matter, Tuff? I thought you were with Princess Rona.
TTuff
I was, but she's so boring. I try to talk to her about stuff, but all she says is "How interesting."
[laughs] Well, Tuff, that's because Princess Rona has been taught to be extremely polite. Being a princess is a very boring job.
That's right. You have no idea the kind of terrible life a princess has to lead. It's like no life at all! I'd trade a princess's life for yours any day!
[now in proper attire] My friends, thank you for everything.
Thank you. It was an honor, Rona.
And Kirby... [the real Commander Vee, now in proper attire as well, hands her a medal shaped like her royal crest] For loyalty and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, I happily present to you this medal of honor. [gasps and then puts the medal away] This is too formal. [gently kisses Kirby on the forehead as he lets loose a joyful poyo and Tiff giggles before she and her people depart beck for Planet Pipi]
TTuff
Hope she lives happily ever after.
Kirby, I'm sure glad you made friends with Sergeant Cosmos.
TTuff
Me too, but that guy's still kind of wacky.
He's been stuck on this island so long he thinks the Star Warriors still have an army.
[suddenly puts out Kirby and friends' fire that they were cooking their fish on] Are you kids out of your minds?! Lightin' a campfire at night will give away our position to the enemy!
TTuff
Yeah, except we don't have any enemies.
And look. Now we don't have any dinner.
Tough luck. During some of my missions, I went weeks with nothin' to eat but dirt! A real warrior don't need no fancy luxuries like food!
We should have stayed to protect Kirby.
We're sorry, kids. We won't let it happen again.
That's okay. The only reason you two were reckless was because you knew Meta Knight was in trouble.
TTuff
You guys sure are loyal to him. How'd you meet him?
[mumbling] Long time ago.
Back when Meta Knight and the Star Warriors were battling Nightmare's monster armies. (begins flashback) The struggle turned the whole galaxy into a wasteland. To survive, we became bandits.
[Meta Knight is running up the side of the canyon when Blade Knight and Sword Knight step in his way]
Out of my way. Let me pass!
Oh, we'll be happy to let you pass, for a price.
[Blade Knight mumbling]
I have no time for your games. The monster that is chasing me is truly dangerous.
I warn you. Leave now while you still have a chance.
[WolfWrath's howl is heard above all three as it leaps down and attacks by surprise]
[Sword Knight attacks but is thrown aside by WolfWrath. It spits a fireball at them only for it to be reflected back by Meta Knight]
Run. Quickly! [Blade Knight and Sword Knight hide as he then fights back against WolfWrath and ultimately forces it into a nearby lake as the flashback ends]
We were just a pair of lousy crooks.
Meta Knight [mumbling] rescued us.
So that's why you follow him.
TTuff
'Cause he saved you both.
[about the weapons hung on the wall of their master's living room] Those things on the wall... We used them to rob and steal. Now they remind us of what fools we were before we met Meta Knight.
