Scene: The peaceful land of Dream Land, where King Dedede is enjoying a tranquil afternoon outside his castle. Suddenly, a strange shadow looms over the castle grounds.*
King Dedede: "What's this? A shadow in my kingdom? Show yourself!"
Gruntilda: "With my broomstick in hand and a plot so grand, Gruntilda's my name, and I've got a demand!"
King Dedede: "Gruntilda, the witch? What business have you in Dream Land? Speak, fiend!"
Gruntilda: "A king so plump and full of greed, is just the ingredient I need. To my world, you will heed, a perfect pawn for my deed!"
Before King Dedede can react, Gruntilda casts a spell, and a magical portal opens. Gruntilda cackles wildly as she and the portal suck King Dedede away from Dream Land. Meanwhile, in the world of banjo and kazooie...*
King Dedede: *Regaining consciousness* "Where am I? This isn't my castle!"
Gruntilda: "In my lair, you'll stay and mope, trapped in here, there's no hope. Unless the bear and bird dare to cope, your fate is sealed by my magical rope!"
King Dedede: "Bear and bird? You mean to use me to lure Banjo and Kazooie? You'll regret this, witch!"
Gruntilda: "Cackle and laugh, my plan's in motion, against their might, you're just a notion. They'll fall into my trap, a potion, securing my victory, my eternal devotion!"
King Dedede, realizing the gravity of his situation, starts to think of a way to alert Kirby of his predicament, hoping for a rescue. Meanwhile, Gruntilda prepares her lair for the anticipated arrival of Banjo and Kazooie, unaware of the king's silent plea for help across the dimensions.*
King Dedede: *Silently* "Kirby, my friend, if there's ever a time I needed your heroism, it's now. I may be a foe at times, but against this witch, we must ally. For Dream Land, for your king, I hope my message reaches you."
As the plot thickens, King Dedede's hope in Kirby becomes his beacon in the darkness of Gruntilda's lair. The stage is set for a clash of worlds as heroes gear up to save their friend and king from an unforeseen foe.*
Gruntilda: "Prepare yourself, King of puff, your rescue's coming, but it'll be tough. My spells and traps are more than enough, to keep them at bay, I'll play rough!"
The adventure thus begins, with fate hanging in the balance, alliances being tested, and the strength of friendship facing its ultimate trial.*
