Meta Knight quotes from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Meta Knight

Whatever he paints comes to life: even the most dangerous things.

Meta Knight

He was never really a monster. That fall changed him back to his true self.

Meta Knight

His spirit has proven to be as noble as any Star Warrior's.

Meta Knight

Trash Basher, the garbage monster. This stinks.

Meta Knight

The robot seems to know Kirby's greatest weakness!

Meta Knight

The Mumbies are vicious monsters sent throughout the universe to hunt down and exterminate Star Warriors. When the containers that hold them are discovered, they are automatically unsealed, and they begin looking for Star Warriors to destroy.

Meta Knight

Now it is controlling all of the other birds. They must be stopped!

Meta Knight

Come. Let's search the dungeon.

Meta Knight

You mean this uprising is over food?

King Dedede

[screams upon seeing that Octacon has grown to its true size] HOLY CALAMARI!

Escargoon

Get back in your tank, you overgrown appetizer!

King Dedede

[tackles Escargoon] Find the receipt for this thing, 'cause I want my money back!

Meta Knight

You had better leave, Sire.

[about what Kirby did to Octacon's miniature octopus] He sucked 'em up.

Just like he sucked up our dinner.

Meta Knight

It is Kirby's classic defense - inhale.

King Dedede

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!

Meta Knight

Sire, it is my duty to warn you. Kirby has great power now.

King Dedede

Yeah? Well, who's the king around here, you or me?

Escargoon

Move it or lose it!

Meta Knight

It pains me to do this, sire. But I am afraid I must. [kicks Dedede's tank downhill]

King Dedede

Hey! What's happening?!

Escargoon

We're going backwards!

King Dedede

I know that! Hit the brakes!

Escargoon

They won't hold, we're gonna crash!

King Dedede

Do something!

Escargoon

Like what?!

King Dedede

Break my fall!

Meta Knight

This is not a storm. It is a monster, brought here by King Dedede. It is called Kracko.

Kracko?

Meta Knight

The king is jealous and suspicious of Kirby. He will do anything to get rid of him. So he has been ordering monsters.

I know. Kabu told me.

Meta Knight

There is a company. They call it... Nightmare Enterprises. [starts flashback] It was created thousands of years ago, by one known as eNeMeE. eNeMeE's goal is to conquer the entire universe. To do this, he created legions of monsters and sent them throughout the galaxies. But they were challenged. Those who loved freedom fought mightily against the monsters. They formed armies, and called themselves Star Warriors. We fought bravely, but eNeMeE's monster warriors outnumbered the Star Warriors. Our ranks dwindled until only one Star Warrior remained. I was alone; injured, but alive. I had survived, and luckily, a spark of hope survived with me.

Hope?

Meta Knight

Yes. The hope that I would not be the last warrior. [ends flashback] It was my hope that young warriors would appear. Warriors with new strength and new spirit. Warriors who would battle to defeat eNeMeE. [starts another flashback] That is why I came to this planet, to serve King Dedede. [ends flashback]

To serve King Dedede? Why would you want to work for somebody like him?

Meta Knight

Starships are designed to automatically fly warriors to where monsters are detected. The king likes monsters, so I hoped a young warrior would come here.

You were right, Meta Knight! Kirby came here!

Meta Knight

Yes, but too soon. Kirby's Starship detected the King's monster, but Kirby was not scheduled to awaken for another 200 years. That is why his ship crash-landed. He is totally untrained. He cannot speak. He can barely think!

Then Kirby is just a baby.

Meta Knight

Yes, but luckily, he has great natural abilities. If he develops them properly, he may be able to defeat eNeMeE. And I can help him.

Then you are gonna help Kirby, aren't you?

Meta Knight

My help will not be enough to make him a warrior. Kirby will also need your help. The Warp Star is the source of Kirby's power. He has only to see it to get his power, but he is unable to guard the star for himself. It can only be kept safe by one who truly loves and cares for him.

Well, I kept it safe so far, didn't I?

Meta Knight

Yes, so far. But this monster is much more powerful than the others... Perhaps too powerful for even the Warp Star to help Kirby defeat it.

Meta Knight

You have done well. You hold the power to summon the Warp Star.

Uh, yeah. But can Kirby beat Kracko...?

Meta Knight

Sword Kirby.

All right!

Come on, Sword Kirby!
