Kirby... I really don't want to be here...
Out Behind Castle DeDeDe...
Kirby... I really don't want to be here...
I know, I know, but you know your way around the place way better than I do. I'm gonna need your help to reach DeDeDe.
But what about me?
Did DeDeDe steal your food?
No, but he—
So how are we gonna slip in undetected?
...
I can't do this without you, Dee...
...Sigh... Fly me up to the roof. I'll get you into the ventilation.
Okie dokie, up we go!
Alright, just lift up this grate and... huh? They actually fastened it shut...
They're expecting us... Can you get it open?
I didn't bring a screwdriver.
I think I have one you can use.
What kind?
Philips head.
No good. These are flat head screws.
Well just bust it down, boy! DeDeDe wants to see you!
...Ack! Kirby?! Kirby!!
Don't worry! Puffball's gonna be nice and safe all locked up in his cage!
We got you a matching one, too! Why don't you climb on in and we'll take you down to see The King!
No! I'll never go back to DeDeDe!
Alright! It's your call. King says you don't have to if you don't want to.
...Really? He said that?
Yup! You're free to go.
Oh... B-but what about—
DEE'S A NO-GO! EXECUTE KIRBY!

...our buddy off the roof?!
You're next!
I didn't think he had any fight in him! Quick, bring out the—

WAAAARRGGG!

OOF!
RAAAAAHHHH!!
CODE WHITE!! CODE WHIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiite...
SLAM!
The hell's a code white...?!
Hello.
A single snowman?! My breath could melt you!
Uh-huh. Stand still for me, please.
Why would I—
Fwooooo!
Ack...! Can't... move...!
Sun's bright today... Someone come put this ice cube in a cage.
