ONE TIME was enough. I would have been PERFECTLY OKAY going about my days only worrying about destroying the Air Armada after what they did to me... But now? NOW? NOW it's personal! It's bad enough I was out of the running, but to lose to the likes of ANOTHER SNAKE-RELATED SHOWOFF?? I don't think so!! So, as thanks, I'll let you in on what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna compete... I'm gonna WIN... And I'm gonna leave this entire tournament in ITTY! BITTY!! PIECES!!!

But if you think that was cool, watch this bear steal the metaphorical picnic basket in this tournament, because he nabbed himself the role of host!
