We should have stayed to protect Kirby.
Blade Knight
[mumbling] Our promise.
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.
You guys sure are loyal to him. How'd you meet him?
Blade Knight
[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]
Blade Knight
Away! Away! [mumbling]
[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.
Blade Knight
Meta Knight [mumbling] rescued us.
So that's why you follow him.
'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.
Brings back memories, don't it, Blade?
Blade Knight
[mumbling]
[last flashback of the episode begins, showing both Sword and Blade kneeling behind Meta Knight]
So. Are you two sure you want to join me?
Blade Knight
You're [mumbling] great warrior.
We want to make your cause our cause.
I will tell you what we must do. We must search for a new warrior... one who will defeat eNeMeE and bring justice to our galaxy.
From that moment on, we became Meta Knight's followers.
Blade Knight
And, [mumbling] loyal to him.
[both Sword Knight and Blade Knight look on proudly at Kirby's triumphant pose with Galaxia as light from the sky shines down on him. The episode ends without the usual star fade-out animation]
Kirby's too exhausted to put up a fight!
[Kirby attempts to inhale, but Masher's attacks are too fast to give him a chance to do so and quickly pummel him to the point of badly injuring him]
[gasps] NO! [Masher closes in on the injured Kirby] Get up, Kirby!
[Meta Knight attempts to save Kirby, but Masher smacks him hard against the hill's wall]
SKSword Knight & Blade Knight
[rushing over to Meta Knight] Meta Knight!
It whupped Meta Knight quick.
laughs You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Forget it. It was probably just a shooting star.
Hmmm. [notices King Dedede's wrecked limo] I do not think a shooting star could do that.
Wake up, y'all! We got an emergency! Close up them gates and head for your battle stations! We got a war on here! Hey Meta Knight! Get the lead out, you helmet head! Do some defendin' or somethin'!
Yeah, what do we hardly pay ya for, anyway?
Blade Knight
Aye.
Don't worry, Meta Knight. You're gonna be good as new.
I am grateful for your help, Tiff.
[beat]
Meta Knight, tell me. You didn't really steal that Galaxia sword, did you?
You would never do something like that. Maybe you should tell her the truth.
Nothing I say will change her mind, I am afraid.
But Meta Knight, how are we gonna convince her that you're innocent?
My sword knows I'm innocent.
[sighs] A lot of good that does. After all, it's not as if your sword can talk or anything.
We must speak with Kabu. He will explain things to you.
I, Kabu, the All-Knowing, shall show you.
[Kabu shows Meta Knight and Tiff a vision of the past detailing Galaxia's history]
Let us travel back into a time long-forgotten. Thousands of years ago, when the universe was young, Photron, the mighty ruler of the fire people, began to forge a great sword. He called this sword Galaxia. This was no ordinary sword, for it was created with a will and life of its own, and glistened with great mystical powers. eNeMeE sent the monster Kirisakin to steal the Galaxia sword. It was hidden in a dark cave and the great beast guarded it for years. Much time passed. Meta Knight and Garlude found themselves in the cave of Kirisakin. The mighty warriors had been sent to retrieve the sacred sword. Meta Knight saved Galaxia, and the evil empire of eNeMeE no longer possessed the power to control the universe. [the vision ends]
I didn't know your sword was so powerful. But there's one thing that still bothers me. What really happened to Garlude?
Blade Knight
Ssh. [mumbling]
[Tuff and Kirby come running to Kabu with the bag of medicine in hand]
Blade Knight
[mumbling] Kirby.
[hands Tiff the bag of medicine] Here it is.
Great! This'll make you feel much better, Meta Knight.
So this is where you are hiding!
[everyone looks up to find Sirica standing at the top of the stairs]
No way. She must've followed us here.
That sword is mine! Now you will pay. [opens fire upon everyone, who all move out of the way to dodge the machine gun rounds]
Blade Knight
Ay?
Smells delicious, don't it? Course' anything would smell good compared to Meta knight's cooking!
[Blade Knight speaks in foreign language]
You could say that again!
[he enters from behind] Say what again?
[Sword and Blade turn around surprised]
Err... He was saying that your cooking... is beyond compare!
[Blade Knight responds in foreign language]
I'd never miss a fight if I can help it. [Meta Knight steps out to greet him] Meta Knight, sir!
I may be a soldier who's over the hill, but I'm proud to serve one last time, if you'll have me.
I can mess up the mess hall, so count me in too!
And I've got the muscle to tune this baby up for ya!
Thanks, guys! But not all of us can go.
Yeah. Somebody's gotta stay behind to start rebuildin' Cappy Town.
Hmmm. We never thought of that, did we?
Yeah, I guess you're... [the area around them shakes again]
Blade Knight
[mumbling] Help Kirby.
