DeDeDe's been here for almost a month now, and he's generally stayed away from the 13th Hour as a rule, having little to no interest in getting himself involved in another pointless brawl in another dying city. But when he happens upon a familiar face fighting for her life on his way home from checking out the club, the generous side of his nature can't help but want to intervene on her behalf.

"Watch your back!"

The penguin king's voice rings out through the night air, accompanied soon after by the brief roar of a jet-propelled hammer and the subsequent alien screeching sound of an Ing taking the full brunt of the attack. There would be time for questions and introductions later, but right now DeDeDe feels he needs to help out just this once, even if this is almost assuredly not 'his' Samus.
