Knuckle Joe quotes from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

No, Kirby!

Knuckle Joe, please stop!

Kirby.

Okay. Finish him.

[leaps in the air to attack] Smash Punch! Kirby, suck it up!

Oh, wow!

Fighter Kirby!

Now we got a real fight. Alright Masher, do your stuff.

Spin Kick!

Vulcan Jab, Vulcan Jab!

King Dedede

[in reaction to Knuckle Joe's sudden betrayal against Masher] You was supposed to clobber Kirby, not mess with Masher!

I tricked ya!

King Dedede

Whazzat?

It took a long time to plan, but it was worth it. I'm a monster hunter now, and I wanted to bag one of the big ones. That meant goin' after Masher!

So that's it.

You didn't work for them. You were only pretending to work for Nightmare Enterprises!

Yeah, I figured the company wasn't gonna let me anywhere near their really strong monsters, so I just sent them my resume.

Meta Knight

Hmmm. So you hunted down Masher... with a suit and tie?

King Dedede

That's De-de-de-devious! [laughing]

Escargoon

What are you laughing at? Knuckle Joe just made you look like a knucklehead.

King Dedede

AAAAH! You two-timer! Nobody monkeys with Triple D!

Sorry, tubby. Too late!

King Dedede

[growls angrily] Masher, pummel them two pole-cats! I want ya to grind 'em into grit!

Ready for some tag-team attacks, Kirby?

Kirby

Poyo. [mimics Knuckle Joe's nose rub]

We thought you were workin' for the bad guys.

You were like a double agent, Joe.

Yeah, well I couldn't have done it without my pal Kirby.

Kirby

Poyo.

Meta Knight

Hunting down monsters throughout the universe... Joe, your father would be proud.

Kirby. Anytime ya need a partner, just give me a call. I'll be there in a flash. See ya! [flies off]

Bye, Joe!

Kirby

Poyo! [waves goodbye to Knuckle Joe then mimics his nose rub]

Chef Kawasaki

What's going on? They're fighting each other.

And they're not attackin' us.

What's eNeMeE up to now?

Meta Knight

We are not fighting this battle alone.

[turns on his screen to contact the Halberd crew] Hey, how's it goin', gang?

Knuckle Joe!

I took over a Destraya and was hoping you'd let me join your party.

[her screen comes on as well] Do you remember me? I came along to help, too.

Hey, that's Sirica!

Kirby

Poyo!

Knuckle Joe and I have become friends now and we're teaming up to help you defeat eNeMeE.

[his and his knights' screen comes on as well] And we will be joining the battle as well.

Meta Knight

Arthur, and the rest of the Star Warriors!

We were able to raid the fortress and commandeer some Destraya ships. We will clear the way for you to enter the fortress so you and Kirby can challenge eNeMeE.

Meta Knight

It will be an honor.

Kirby

Poyo.

But right now, just sit back and let us handle that fleet.

Now onto victory!

Full speed ahead!

They destroyed the enemy ships!

Meta Knight

Yes! Now we can enter the fortress. Set engine to maximum power! [the Halberd blasts its way past more Destrayas and successfully enters the entrance to Nightmare's fortress]

Kirby and his crew have actually done it.

I hope they had time to...get away.

Good luck, my friends.
