[he grabs Escargoon's goatee] HEY! What's the idea torchin' my tongue!?
Sorry, Sire. But I had to act quick cause you can't afford to pay out any more prize money!
Let's see how you like you red pepper, You double-dealin' spice sneakin' slug, here!?
I done decided that I don't feel like dinin' on crab no more. 'Specially when it's bigger than me. But you can go on ahead and eat it yourself if you want to.
Not even Kirby gets hungry enough to gobble up a giant monster for dinner. [laughs with everybody until Kirby gets ready to inhale the crab he just cooked, much to their shock] Kirby! NOOO!!!
Wow, Kirby sure cleaned his plates.
With Kirby around, who needs a dishwasher?
I say every home should have a Kirby.
It's gettin' kinda late, Kirby. Why don't you sleep at our house tonight?
Poyo, poyo!
[yawns] I ain't seen no flyin' saucers here. I just wanna go back to bed.
Sure. And wake up with an alien for a neighbor.
Then an alien for a neighbor for them no-town Cappies.
Escargoon, I oughtta have yer license revoked.
Whatever.
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?
Sword, Blade. Let's go!
Yeah.
Aye.
Meta Knight!
[Meta Knight looks up to see Sirica on a level higher than the one he's standing on]
It's been a very long time.
You speak as if we have met. Have we?
So you don't remember? My mother was the Star Warrior Garlude!
[Meta Knight gasps in realization that Sirica is Garlude's daughter, just before Sirica starts opening fire on him and his knights with her machine gun]
Who are you?
My name is Sirica.
Why are you after Meta Knight?
He has something that is very precious to me. His sword: Galaxia.
Galaxia?
You mean Meta Knight's sword has a name?
Poyo?
This is ridiculous! Meta Knight's a great Star Warrior, not a thief like you.
Hmph. Meta Knight inspires great loyalty, for someone so heartless.
[Kirby and the kids gasp at what Sirica just said]
What do you mean?!
Your friend Meta Knight was an enemy of my mother. [begins flashback, in her mind] It was many many, years ago. My mother Garlude was considered the greatest of all Star Warriors. She and Meta Knight had been chosen among many noble warriors to reclaim the sacred sword, Galaxia, which had been stolen by the evil beast: Kirisakin. They began to battle the great monster. Both were brave and fought valiantly, but in the end, the beast proved too strong for Garlude. Just as she was reclaiming the sword, she was overpowered! Meta Knight stood and watched as my mother lost the battle. He stole the sword and fled, leaving my mother to perish... alone. [ends flashback]
That didn't happen! Get out, you liar!
That's right! Meta Knight would never do somethin' like that.
I speak the truth. He abandoned my mother and stole Galaxia.
That is what you say. [appears behind Sirica, with Blade and Sword following immediately after]
Let's settle this.
Hey. What up, Triple D?
I need me a monster, and make it quick! I got an alien after me!
Did you say alien?
What're you waitin' for? Tell him how she attacked the castle!
How can I tell 'im while you're flappin' yer lips?
Simmer down, boys. Now, tell me more about this alien.
She's a little girl with a big ol' gun and a whole lot of attitude!
Very interesting. If this space girl is as tough as you say she is, I think I better send the "big guy". [sends Kirisakin to King Dedede and Escargoon as it roars and clashes its two scythes over its head]
Now that's a monster!
I think I'm gonna faint.
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?
No. I did not.
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?
Ssh. [mumbling]
[Tuff and Kirby come running to Kabu with the bag of medicine in hand]
Tuff!
[mumbling] Kirby.
[hands Tiff the bag of medicine] Here it is.
Great! This'll make you feel much better, Meta Knight.
Thank you, my friends.
So this is where you are hiding!
[everyone looks up to find Sirica standing at the top of the stairs]
Sirica.
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]
Only those who possess the power may claim the Galaxia sword as their own. Those who are not chosen will only bring evil upon themselves.
[having heard a familiar lion-esque roar and seen Kirisakin making its way to Kabu] This can't be... it's Kirisakin, the great monster.
Kirisakin is coming to reclaim the sword. We must stop it!
[after Sirica tries to pry it from the ground a second time] My name is Galaxia. Only the most powerful of knights may wield my ancient magic. Meta Knight is the chosen one. Your mother Garlude knew well this truth. [begins flashback to how Garlude sacrificed herself to deliver Galaxia to Meta Knight] In sacrificing her life, Garlude made the ultimate sacrifice.
[Garlude manages to pry Galaxia from its pedestal and throws it to Meta Knight before Kirisakin delivers the killing blow to her from behind. Meta Knight claims Galaxia and leaps at Kirisakin to fight it. End flashback]
If my mother gave her life, then I shall too. [yells in might as she finally successfully pries Galaxia from the ground]
Galaxia... Now I know my mother remained a true warrior to the end.
Sirica. She would have been very proud of you.
