Long-Awaited Showdown: Infiltrate New Pork City Part 2

Part 1: http://community.livejournal.com/sbg_logs/33126.html

The doors of Porky's room opened up and two people entered. One of them was a man, tall, fat, and mustachioed, and the other was a maid, blonde-haired, but very doll-like. King P was still lying down on his bed. He looked down at them and smiled. "Yokuba... Ms. Marshmallow..."
The two bowed before the little king. "Sir," they both said, with respect.
"We have some rats on our hands that I want you to take care of before they get out of control. Have you noticed anything unusual?" asked Porky.
Ms. Marshmallow shook her head and replied politely, "No, my King,"
Yokuba took out his First-Class Banana and started snacking. "Our men did spot an unauthorized vehicle enter the city," he said,  "It was a blue race car. I wonder what hotshot would be riding that around this late at night,"
"Blue race car, eh? I know who they are then," said Porky. He started laughing to himself. A blue race car said it all. There was only one person who he knew who drove that thing and that person was one of the only people to hold such a grudge against the King, Captain Falcon. But he wouldn't do something like this alone, so someone might've accompanied him.
"Anybody who would be willing to dare disturb His Graciousness is undeserving of the life they were granted... May we have permission to deal with them, Your Excellency?" asked Marshmallow. Her voice remained monotonous, but from her words, it was clear she meant business.
Yokuba just smiled and tucked the banana peel in his pocket. Usually, he would've just thrown it randomly, but he showed respect for the king and his room. "A midnight brawl, then? I wouldn't mind this. Nuhehehehe!" laughed Yokuba.
Porky smiled and repiled, "Fine. You two will deal with our interlopers in the tower. One of them may be outside, so I'll be controlling the Pig King Statue from here,"
"Yes, my loving King," Marshmallow said, with another bow.
"It'll be my honor to deal with these fools!" Yokuba exclaimed, bowing as well.
Both of them walked out of the King's room.
Once they left, Porky pressed a switch on his Spider Mech bed. A compartment swung open next to him, revealing some kind of a minature control station. The king flipped another switch and as he did, outside the tower, the Pig King Statue started shaking.

As Porky gave his egotistical spiel Samus felt an ire building up inside of her that she had only ever felt so strongly a few times before in her life. She tried to remember the long story Ness told her, when she asked about Porky. Any information in her memory that might serve useful to the hunter, to find a weak spot in her prey.

"...Giygas was an alien capable of influencing the evil already in the hearts of living beings, you can't control something like that!" She lowered her head and bared teeth, "And when it backfires on you, you're just gonna' run away again like a coward. Just like last time. You'll never escape your failures, Porky!"

She sneered, cold as ice, looking to hit that same soft spot Ness did, "You'll never be happy. You ran away from your happiness years ago. You ran away from your brother Picky, from your only family, and from your friends. You are no hero."

Samus continued to hold her gun pointed high at her adversary, strong and unwavering. "And unlike you, I'm not going to run away from mine."

Samus snorted in disgust with furrowed her brows behind her gun. There was no chance for personal redemption or sympathy in her eyes--Porky had already hurt her once, and once was the only chance Samus Aran would ever give. She was growing impatient; she wanted to shoot Minch mercilessly, blow up his machine and take down the entire tower too if she could help it, but she had a chance here to buy some time. And to uncover more weaknesses.

She decided to take a chance with a bluff, simply because she didn't know the entire details of Porky's past... but from her observations, she guessed his past relationship with Ness was a key component. "I don't think Ness rejected you. He almost spoke fondly of you that one time I subbed your Philosophy class--he wanted to hear you opinion on things. Like he still cares about you."

She took an appropriately condescending tone, as if she were lecturing a child, "But you don't care. That's what you're doing wrong."

Snake was still relatively in the dark about all this, so he watched Samus intently, seeing what her next move would be. He was impressed to see the words having such an effect on the man, and guessed that there really was reason for him to be the way he was...but, as Samus felt, it was far past sympathy at this point.
However, as much as he wanted to take destructive action against the man and his devices, he remained silent, waiting to see what Samus would do next.

Snake quickly rolled out of the way of the laser, the kneejerk reaction sending him roughly in one direction. He cursed and rubbed his shin, and instantly started firing at where Porky stood. The only problem being, he had no way to defend himself against the incoming gas. He looked desperately over at Samus, hoping she had another trick up her sleeve.
