Scene 26: Rally the Smashers, Part 1
Three trophies lie amidst a pile of rubble in a ruined castle. Suddenly, two of them turn into Ness and Luigi, each wearing a brooch.
Ness: 痛い…
Luigi: Ugh…Mamma Mia…
Ness looks around and then yanks a brooch off of Luigi's nose.
Luigi: Ouchies! What was-a that for?
He looks at the fallen King DeDeDe trophy.
Ness: (to himself) Hmm. Maybe he has some answers… (to Luigi) Come with me.
Ness and Luigi walk over to King DeDeDe's trophy and touch the base, prompting it to turn back into King DeDeDe.
King DeDeDe: Urk…Wha…?
Ness: 大丈夫ですか？
King DeDeDe, noticing Ness and Luigi aren't trophies anymore, gets up excitedly.
King DeDeDe: (joyously) They work!
He scoops up Ness and Luigi in his arms and squeezes them tightly.
King DeDeDe: I can't believe my beautiful brooches work! Heh heh heh heh!
Ness: (stifled) Yes, it's good to see you too, sir, but could you please let go?
Luigi: (gagged) I can't breathe…
King DeDeDe lets go of Ness and Luigi so that they can regain their bearings.
King DeDeDe: Sorry about that, li'l man. It's just that I worked so hard on those brooches so that we'd have a failsafe in case Tabuu trophied everbody. Heh, can you imagine what that'd be like?
Ness: That would be rather problematic.
King DeDeDe: Right-o, Ness. Each brooch contains a—oh, what am I blatherin' about?
He hoists his hammer over his shoulder.
King DeDeDe: Come on! We got ourselves a world to save!
Luigi: Wait a second. What's-a going on here?
King DeDeDe: I'll explain everything along the way. Now let's move!
Ness: Right.
The three of them start moving deeper into subspace.
Luigi: (nervously) …Are you sure we can trust this guy?
Ness: Does it look like we have a choice?
Luigi: Good point.
(later)
Ness, Luigi, and King DeDeDe come upon the fallen Master Hand at the base of a massive staircase in the middle of subspace.
King DeDeDe: Hot mama. It's worse than I thought.
Ness: Without the Master Hand's power, the entire world could come undone in a matter of days, and he won't come back until Tabuu is defeated. Am I right?
King DeDeDe: Correct you are, Ness. If we don't save this world soon, there'll be no world left to save.
Luigi: But if this-a Tabuu is really as powerful as you claim, how are we supposed-a to defeat him by ourselves?
King DeDeDe sees the Bowser trophy nearby and walks over to it.
King DeDeDe: Who said anythin' 'bout defeatin' him by ourselves?
He touches the base of the trophy, prompting it to turn into Bowser, who immediately lashes out at King DeDeDe. This prompts King DeDeDe to hop back and ready his hammer.
(later)
In the middle of subspace, Bowser's trophy lands at Kign DeDeDe's feet.
King DeDeDe: Okay. Let's try this again.
He touches the base of the trophy, prompting it to turn into Bowser, who immediately lashes out at King DeDeDe. This prompts King DeDeDe to slap Bowser in the nose.
Bowser: Hey! What was that for?
King DeDeDe: You should be one to talk, Bowser. You smacked me, first.
Bowser: Did not!
King DeDeDe: You want me to beat you into a trophy again? Next time, I'll leave you that way.
Bowser thinks about this for a moment.
King DeDeDe: Look here, Bowser. I don't know exactly what you and Ganondorf were up to, but what I do know is that the Master Hand is down, the Subspace Emissary is about to go out and conquer the universe, our world is comin' apart at the seams, and the only livin' Smashers left are you, me, Ness, and Luigi, so unless you don't want a world left for you to try and conquer, you'll do as I say. Got it?
Bowser continues to think.
King DeDeDe: Well?
Bowser: What? I'm thinking!
King DeDeDe: Fine. We're goin' out to find the other Smashers and bring 'em to life. You have until we come back to decide.
King DeDeDe motions to Ness and Luigi to come with him, and the three of them leave for other parts of subspace.
