"It's true, I did want to rule Dreamland with an iron fist at one point," King Dedede replied while clenching his fists. "But when I joined the second tournament, I'd already seen the error of my ways. My real intention for being there was simply because Kirby invited me." Dedede then pointed his hammer at Bowser and raised his voice. "And you saw what I did in the last tournament! I saw right through what Master Hand promised you all while he was being controlled by Tabuu. All of you, including Ridley, were fools to believe his words. This situation with Overlord V, can't you see it's the exact same thing? It doesn't matter how hard that shell of yours is, you're still going to get stabbed in the back just like last time!"
