"oh! alright then..." John looks at Johnny. "do you still want us to help, or do you think you've got it covered?"

Bowser looks between Baron's new form and his new challenger. "So, back to two on one again, huh? Well, that's good for you, lemon boy - the bug's got more of a chance of beating me than you do! Bring it on - I can take it!"

Baron looks at Bowser, and then pulls out the Banana Lockseed. "Then let's see if you can..."

Baron trails off as he looks at the Lockseed, his thumb moments away from pressing the button on the side. He starts shaking, his breath hitching. Baron's mind races - he's never hesitated to summon Inves as back-up before...so why can't he do it? Why can't he ''do it? Why can't he just unlock the goddamn Lockseed-''

"Uh...hello? Are you going to pull out your new trick or what? Come on, don't leave me hanging!" Bowser just stares at Baron for a few moments, before sighing and turning to Golisopod. "So...want to duke it out?"

Unbeknownst to them, they have witnesses - one knight in blue armor, and one knight in red.

The red knight - tall, female, and carrying two shields - looks at the scene carefully. "It appears that a fellow knight is fighting a dragon-like creature with the assistance of...some manner of insect?"

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time we've run into insects of unusual size!" The blue knight - short, male, and wielding a shovel - remarks. "Is there anything else?"

"There are others, but they don't appear to be participating...and the knight...the knight is hesitating." Shield Knight answers.

Shovel Knight raises his shovel. "I'm sure he would most appreciate our assistance, then!"
