What do you..?
Wait! Purify? No way! I'm fine!? R-right, Rock!?
I'unno... sometimes you let your wild side get the better of you when you use that power of yours.
Gee, thanks for the support, old chum.
Duo, we don't have to do this. Lor- someone... told me that this power belonged to an entity from another universe who could corrupt and take the form of others, and was bent on global domination. But he isn't me. Even as a last resort, it's a part of me now. I've lived with it and it's brought me back from the dead. And if it's your goal to take it away and destroy it...
Then you'll have to force it out of me.
Hey, you two were the frontrunners of that group of robot masters that tried to wreck everything, right?
Those guys are probably still causing havoc while we're partying in here. Do you think there's a way you could convince them to... You know. Not do that?
Augh!
...Nice try. But this energy of mine is also gives me a bit of psychic resilience. Now, where was I?
Y'know, there are a LOT of people here that you know or someone you know knows. The whole main Puyo crew, the Pop crew, Terra, Qbby, just to name a few...
If nobody else in the Brash Crew or the Beta Team or anyone like that wants to join, why not ask them?
Oh shoot, is he out for real?
..No. Right... where I wanted you.....
Hrrrngh!
After the Jazz crisis, I developed something just in case we fought something out of our league. I was saving this technique for that Regacron guy in case things went south, but it seems like you saved me the trouble of doing that. Now, if you're done with your video game references...
..DUPLICI EXEMPLARI!
Sorry, Duo, but you know what they say. If you can't beat 'em...
...Be 'em.
....
Am... am I sensing a hint of jealousy inside this mind of yours? Are you envious of him?
D'oh, piss off! How was I supposed to know he could do this? It just... it just looks so cool! I have to push myself to my limits just to keep up with some of these one-trick ponies, and he can just become them with a simple fist bump?
...Of course. I'll put the blame on me for not testing you thoroughly enough before transforming into you.
The question still remains, though...
How often have you had to deal with your own attacks!?
I appreciate the offer, but I think what my brother was conveying that the members of our team who haven't spoken up aren't interested; not that you should ask him first.
But I suppose now that I've given you an answer, you can go ask one of the dozens of other people you have ties to.
Hey Dyna, you've been figuring out this stuff since we went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, right?
I could spend all day listing them off, really...
But in particular, I've noticed Rulue, Witch, Lilith, Pop!Popoi, and Pop!Klug haven't done anything since they first showed up, and even just they are enough to fill up the whole empty space. Why not ask them?
Urgh!
....Not bad. But I'm just warming up. Although it's probably about time I kick things up a notch.
Rrrrragh!
Here's the big one! Comet Assault!
