Monster!? That's ridiculous! There's no monster in this castle!
Yes, there is! It's big and it's scary and it eats everything in sight!
That's King Dedede! There's no monster. Now go back to your homes so His Majesty can finish his supper in peace!
Hey, wait a minute, Escargoon! Not so fast! [Tiff, her brother Tuff, and their parents Sir Ebrum and Lady Like enter the throne room] How do we know you're not lying again?
Yeah, like you usually do?
You have no right to speak to me that way. Your parents should slap you silly.
Papa, something funny's going on!
You might be right, Tiff. A monster is the kind of thing Dedede would love.
The king must be behind this!
You're a court official, how dare you accuse his royal highness! [to King Dedede] Want me to check 'em in for a two-week stay in the dungeon, sweet kingy?
[Laughs and turns to face everyone else] A monster, huh? Would the monster happen to look anything like that? [He points to a fish tank containing a small octopus]
That's it! That's the monster!
Except it was a hundred times bigger!
[laughs] Well you can see this ain't no monster, it's my new pet octopus. And the only thing he likes to eat is sardines.
[He drops one in the tank. The octopus eats it]
Hehehehe. Little fella wouldn't hurt a fly unless it was on the end of a fishhook! [laughs]
Of course it wouldn't. Now get out and go back to your trailer park so the king can have his dessert! Go on! Poof, you're gone!
[Tiff runs up to the octopus. The two exchange stares]
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]
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.
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!
[After Kirby saves her from falling to her death] Kirby just saved my life.
A monster wouldn't have done that, Tiff.
Maybe Kirby is a Star Warrior.
[dusting herself] Impossible, Falala. Warriors are big and strong, not pink and puffy! [Kirby walks by her, surprising her]
Hey, where are you going? [Kirby runs faster, and he, Fololo & Falala give chase] Hey, wait up!
Don't let him get away, Fololo!
My parents work for the King, and we live in the castle. In case you were wondering, my name's Tiff.
(Tiff gasps)
And we're their friends Fololo...
Guess Kirby must be a baby warrior.
[Tiff, Tuff, Fololo, and Falala laugh]
...And as Mayor of Cappy Town, I know I speak for everyone when I say we're pleased and proud to welcome our honored guest, the mighty Star Warrior Kirby.
I can speak for myself, thank you.
Hah, we all know that, Chief Bookem.
Kirby doesn't understand what you're saying anyway.
Then let's dig in, shall we?
[Kirby inhales everyone's dinner and then spits their accessories, plates, and silverware back out]
[yells in frustration and falls face-first on the table surface] I knew I should've started eatin'.
Hey, what's the big idea, Kirby?
Welcome to Nightmare Enterprises, King Dedede. How may I assist you?
Look, pal, I don't like to complain, but I paid you folks a lot of money for an octopus monster and it turned out to be a little shrimp.
Just give it time, Your Highness, and I guarantee that little shrimp will grow on you.
We gotta do somethin'. We gotta get rid of Kirby somehow before he gets settled in here.
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!
