"...Forgive me for this, Sir Meta Knight..."

"G-Good!"

"...WAIT WHAT!?!?"

"...Fine! but you gotta promise none of my friends get hurt!"

"AHH! NOOOO! I DON'T WANNA DIE! PLEASE! I SWEAR TO NOVA I-I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!"

"...Sir Meta Knight, I think we need to kill Kirby at this rate."

"...Oh Nova, not again..."

"S-SIR!?!?"

"I-I LITTERALLY WORK FOR YOU!?!?"

"S-Sir Meta Knight, how could you!?"

"You... don't know?"

"...What's a Bugatti?"

"...Sir Meta Knight, what happened to you?"

"...Guys can you keep it down, I'm trying to stream here..."

*...Why is Sailor Dee playing corruptions?*

[NC]

"I REALLY need an opportunity for the big Waddle Dee Corps and Kremling Krew team up..."

"Sooo unless you return to base, we can't get that."

- hunter base one time...*

"CASSIDY! RESPOND AND RETURN! AS THE CURRENT LEADER OF THE WADDLE DEE CORPS! THAT'S AN ORDER!!!"

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

- causing trouble for everyone else!*

"THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION! WE ARE LITTERALLY PREPARING TO DEFEND RIGHT NOW! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TOOLS TO SAVE EVERYONE ELSE YET! JUST RETURN TO BASE AND HELP US!!!"

*It... reminded Cassidy of... Bandee's big crashout on the travel to the new maverick -

"HEY! HEEEEY!"

*The device gets something back! a response from a friend it seems!*

"Sailor Waddle Dee of the Resistance here! SUE! CASSIDY! YOU NEED TO RETURN TO BASE! IMMEDIATELY!!! I-IT'S A NIGHTMARE OUT THERE!!!"

*Sadly he was right, with all the new enemies roaming around and -

[NC]

"Oh pissed won't even be the half of it..."

"Sue? Cassidy? You two here? we're apparently teamed up together an-"

"...Where did they go?"

"WHERE DID THEY GO!?!?"

[NC]

"...Sir Meta Knight, what does that even mean???"

"O-Oh, we're talking about mechanization now?"

"That's.... uh.... oh..."

"....I don't really like talking about that..."

*Sigh*

"...I dunno what to do anymore..."

"I was such a good leader, then Bandee came back and... now I really have nothin' to do..."

"There's gotta be something, something I can do to help!"

*Sigh*

"Sir Meta Knight's anniversary is today..."

"...I wish I could celebrate it but... I dunno if that's even possible right now..."

"...Is now a bad time to say it's MY birthday as well?"

*Returning to the castle and... Bandee still isn't there...*

*Sailor sighed... he couldn't believe THAT happened... seeing Meta Knight like that...*

*He sat down next to the rubble, another sigh from him... it's gonna be a very long day...*

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

"Just... do what you can to fight back... I-It's what my boss... what you would usually do..."

*He sets off for real this time... perhaps with the... somewhat limited free will Mecha Knight had, attacking Susie with her guard down before the recalibration could be possible...*

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

- he chooses to not attack Sailor so suddenly...*

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

"J-Just... f-figure it out... don't be so afraid... sir...."

*Sailor Dee turned around... he could tell he made some sorta impact...*

"It's... what your wife would want... probably..."

*He slowly heads out, eyeing Mecha Knight to see if anything else would happen, hopefully -

- tears exited his eyes as he tried to keep a brave face... Such was fading in seconds, replaced with a more upset one...*

[ #𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐙 ]

- some sense into Mecha Knight...*

"I-I just... I dunno what to do without you around, I-I really don't! it's... it's so frightening..."

*Funny how even after he's lead an entire squad of Waddle Dees, he still looked down on his feats and accomplishments like this... Yet even so,-

"S-Sir... please.... please tell me it's you... I-I'm... scared..."

*He was... trying his best to keep it together, but the thought of his boss potentially using this fear to his advantage, to maybe hurt him, that couldn't be good... he keeps his distance, perhaps there was some way to talk -
