It seems that even with many of our strongest fighters occupied, new fighters have cropped up to keep things under control...
...hm?
So...he's looking for remaining traces of Evil Energy...
I'm not sure if any such thing exists on Earth anymore...
...but I think I still know a place he could look.
So, what map are we playing on?
Okay!
My name is Dr. Doppler. I believe I can help you with this...Evil Energy you seek.
Halt! Who goes here?
(How does everything look cooler than us now?) I'm just looking for the repairs room. Buddy here's been roughed up quite a bit.
...Proceed.
...Wait. Didn't the invisible barrier prevent outsiders from getting in? Why do you guys need to guard the front?
Barrier's down after the incident. It's still being repaired. Until then, we have to guard this place.
(...He obviously wanted A. Rock back in one piece, but he was willing to do serious damage in order to bring him back. And if that's what one Quint can do, we may be in for some deep
..)
...
... With Duo on Earth, any use of Evil Energy is far too risky... I'll have to dispose of it.
...Or... I could plant it on someone else... and kill two birds with one stone. It's a good thing I finally found this place...
...There. That should hide it from MacLee rather well... And it won't be long until Duo's keen sense of Evil Energy picks it up, too.
It's a shame I wasted all that research creating the Enmity Hearts to begin with... But as long as it keeps that Duo off my trail, AND destroy that Limited that tried to ruin my original resurrection, then it'll be all worth it.
...The question is, what to use as a power source now...
No. I tried to do things your way, and it got me killed, almost twice even.
...Wrong. You are nothing more than a gluttonous beast who's trying to get us both killed. You are far too unsubtle.
We'll see about that.
What... what happened?
Quint shanked you with an electric piercing weapon. He was about to take off with you, but me and Duo fended you off.
Oh great. First that sanctimonious buttface Anthem, and now the Quints. If we know what's good for us, we'll just stay into hiding.
Okay, but why?
How did they know about my Weakness Nullifier Chip I had installed if he never saw me use it in action? They've been monitoring us, man. They know our strengths. Our weaknesses. And if one of them fails... it's likely more will be on the way soon.
Ah, crikey. Well, we'll figure out a plan for that soon enough. Right now, it's time to begin operation G.T.F.O this building.
So they've gotten away again?
Yeah. I actually incapacitated him, but more people came as backup, which I didn't account for.
Again with this? Real Quints account for every outcome possible, 4827. So far all you've done is prove yourself to be a failure. They're probably aware of us monitoring them now that they figured out how you incapacitated him.
You have One. Last. Chance. To clean up the mess you just made. And if you slip up again, you'll immediately be force-warped back to answer to me while the Shadow Squadron demonstrate what is true competency for you. Have I made myself clear?
....Crystal.
Up until just now, I thought there was no Evil Energy left on Earth...
...but it appears that most of it is gathering at MacLee Industries. That should be your top priority.
Hmph. As if you weren't weak enough on your own, you had to give your little assembly line of toys two things that don't mix.
I know more about the energy within you than you do, Trio. I've experienced firsthand what it's like to be given it as power...
...and I know second-hand how well things go when you mix it with Limited.
But enough about you...you're probably wondering who I am, aren't you?
...even before it mixed with the Evil Energy, it was modified?!
...
So, you think you're a master alchemist now?
Well, I've got news for you: you're not.
And what did you just call me? You're really getting ahead of yourself...
Back in 20XX*, Dr. Wily stole seven industrial robots from his former co-worker, Dr. Light.
The only one left was Cut Man. Wily shrugged him off for being a mere lumber-cutting robot...
...and that's when I cut in!!!
...how?!?!
Looks like this isn't your average game of Mario Kart!
...if that's how it's going down, so be it.
Stop acting like you're the boss. You're the most well-known source of evil in this world short of Wily, and you can bet even while that shady beta boy and his friends waste their time eating pizza, everyone else is coming straight for your head. Including me.
Oh, I'm not counting on victory at all. Not for you, anyway.
This is the best you can do? Don't make me laugh. Not like you could, anyway.
We're not done yet!
Oh.
