The MAL 6000 Attacks

I'm so surprised that no one has done this joke yet. Not even Ivynajs. For those of you who don't know, HAL Labs, the company that makes Kirby, Super Smash Bros., & the Kirby anime, took its name from HAL 9000, the computer from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. So what better way to hold tribute to that computer than to parody it?

The story goes like this: King Dedede, feeling he hasn't done anything for the Waddle Dees after all they've done for him, decides to show some kindness & takes security off their already overbearing work-load. He then orders a top-notch security system from Holy Nightmare named MAL 6000, & has it set up. It works fine at first, but then MAL "discovers" that Waddle Doo is planning a rebellion. So MAL captures Waddle Doo & brings him to Dedede. Dedede then accuses him for attempting to start a rebellion, but Waddle Doo claims he'd do no such thing. Dedede then begins accusing MAL for making a mistake, but MAL claims that he's never made an error or disorted information. Dedede & Escargon then tell the security system that they are going to the shower stall to discuss what to do about the "rebellion", but in reality, they're planning to disconnect MAL. MAL, however, sees through the restroom door using X-Ray vision & reads their lips through the shower curtain. He then goes beserk, attacking everyone in the castle, & not letting anyone enter or leave. Fumu is currently questioning the malfunctioning security system.

I didn't do any floor designs because I couldn't think about how to do them correctly.
