I sure want you to go boom!
How...?!
...um...
...wait, I know elemental weaknesses! That's the thing where insects can defeat psychics, right?
Dang it!
All right, that's it!!!
Well, usually we just use wind, and sometimes water. One of us does use earth, though, and there were a couple of times where...
...wait a minute!
Of course! How could I forget?!
What do you need, Sanae?
What happened to the-
That's why I called you! See that robot with the axe? We need a Flame-type attack to take him out!
You used some Spell Cards like that when we fought in the Nuclear Furnace, didn't you?
Yup! Leave it to me!
You can't scare me just because your shadow's weird!
What?!
...
And I'll see to it that the Wily Omega witnesses that firsthand.
Oh. Then by all means. Make me witness it. No one's stopping you.
Oh, Aviation Man! Wait, hold on a minute, I nearly forgot. You are "Accel Man" now, correct? Truly a splendid choice with the whole name change. As I was saying. No hesitation. No interruptions. Go on ahead!
Y-you...
...I ask for a proper challenge and this is what I receive? Ugh, never-
...Of course.
...Exactly as I suspected. All talk. Fortunately for you, I have no plans to exterminate this planet.
You mean you're surrendering?
Who misinformed you of that? Of course not. This world will surely perish. I only happen to know a few people who will gain more fulfillment from wreaking havoc themselves than myself. And should that fail, I'll just destroy everything on my own, End of Story. Of course, without last-minute weapons, offshoot sealing techniques and such that will get in my way. As a matter of fact, this roleplay goes on because I take solace in not being an indignant Buzzkill. Unlike some people.
Besides. What are you all trying to protect? Not civilians, the amount of deaths across here to Dimension 2 prove otherwise. If anyone here really cared, they'd have just called the Trio of Origin and have this universe meet the same fate as the Absurd Roleplay, as it's already lended itself as enough of a threat on it's own.
There is no Good. There is no Evil. They are both equally insignificant and matter only as much the side of a coin is facing. You all stick to your definitions of morality because you are bound to them. Because of your lack of perception. Those who pursue Justice are the very same bar of selfish to those who pursue Chaos. In other words... All of your actions hold not a merit of righteousness on them.
I don't think I got a word you just said.
It doesn't matter. You won't get anything soon enough.
No.
We are not turning this into another power struggle.
The only reason why anyone wanted to humor you with this was because the Concept Robots were a loose end that were worth resolving before the party was over.
I doubt you realized this, but the party is essentially its own story arc with numerous subplots. The only difference is that there's no proper starting conflict and climax because we need high amounts of user time schedule coordination to finish so much as four rounds of Mario Kart 64.
The way things have been going, the past "story arcs" were Beta Devil's debut and initial death, the conflict with Worship, the All-Star Numbers trying to take over, the Dead Zones opening, Team Mecha's reign of terror up until the Eclipse Cannon V2 was destroyed, and whatever happened with Trio.EXE.
The Concept Robots are just the table scraps from Trio.EXE's plotline, and we are NOT turning them into major villains. There's a reason why everyone and their mother refused to give in to Meteor Grave or Crimson Dragon. BreakMan GZ would be the same deal if he wasn't trapped in the past where he can't screw anything up.
Not to mention, out of the several people involved, only you, Brash Buster, and Rotom have any knowledge on the Touhou Project. That alone severely limits any conflict reliant on being in Gensokyo.
So I'll give you two options.
Either let this conflict solve itself swiftly, either by not having Trinitro ignore an Impossible Spell Card or by introducing someone yourself who can solve this, or I end this myself.
Before you make your choice, though...
That part was an honest mistake on Suwako's part. She thought Dash Man would become evil because of whatever animal nonsense this is.
You lot were smart to listen to the Constellation.
...Look at you lot. It's like all you know is destruction... Makes me wonder why the ones who were spared changed sides to begin with.
No wonder why you all have the ability to create some kind of shadow-morphing animals... Because that's what you all are. Animals who fail to see the bigger picture. Your master has failed. Your mission serves no purpose anymore.
Just give up. You have already lost.
Crap, talk about word traveling FAST. Apparently a bunch of automatons go berserk around the Moriya Shrine and the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and the tengu are ALREADY scrambling to be the first to write about it.
Welp, I know ONE thing's for sure...
This is a GREAT opportunity to cause some mayhem.
Aight, let's see if I still have those nifty gadgets...
Nice, they're still there! I dunno WHAT I would've done about all that nigh-undodgeable danmaku without stuff like the Substitute Jizo! or the Nimble Fabric!
It's time to rearrange some social ladders!
...You know, with this party being wrapped up once the final battle of the tournament actually begins, I think-
No.
You didn't let me finish.
Didn't need to. I know EXACTLY what it is you were going to say.
Look. This party may as well be your ONLY chance. Either talk to him right now, or this feud will NEVER end.
Well, Maybe that's just the way it's supposed to be. Maybe it's just DESTINY for Rotom to never forgive me. Haven't thought of THAT, now DID YOU!?
...Look. He isn't going to listen, let alone be convinced to let the whole thing go.
Time seems to have done favors for MKII. (...Well, until it didn't.) Who knows? Maybe he's learned a thing or two about understanding. The point is, if we DON'T try, there'll be NO chance of him putting a stop to the grudge.
...Fine. But after this LAST ATTEMPT, there'll be no more talking about trying to make peace with Rotom. Got it?
Hey, whatever gets you to at least try.
Alright, Rotom. It's now or never. It's about time we talk about what happened to the Ajax Universe.
