Look, Rotom. I never wanted to erase the Ajax Universe. But I simply had no choice; Your universe was expired. It was doomed to fall apart either way, and then everyone who was part of it- yourself included- would be doomed to become nutrients for the Void and its denizens. And it was my job to erase it early and save the people of that universe from that fate by putting them in the Void.
...Tell me, Rotom; Do you happen to know what happens to a dead lightbulb?
But why? why are you trying to do all this?
Oh, don't tell me you've already forgotten. I've worn my goals on my very sleeve from the beginning. You all were just too bone-headed to prevent it. With the exception of that Amadeus individual. I wonder what they've been doing now. And Worship, I guess, but his stuff ended in like, two seconds.


...You won't get away with this.
Ahp, no, I am completely sure nothing will prevent me with getting away with anything I have in stored. Worst case scenario, delay.
Anyway, I believe that's enough chatter for as of now. I'll let you spend your final.... whenevers... for you to come to terms with your final moments. Until we meet again... Maybe. Maybe not.
....
...Hm.
The point is, Rotom, I have had to reboot the universe you have lived in twice due to actions far beyond my control. Most universes tend not to have that sort of luxury.
...If saying THAT doesn't convince you that I do care about the original universe, I'm honestly unsure what would. ...And to be frank, I don't think it will.
All ya had to do was teleport the residents of the OLD universes into a DIFFERENT universe, seperate from the original, but also different from the newer one. That's like throwing something out just because you don't know what to do with it.
Hey, who the hell said that!? Get out here and say it again, whoever ya are!
You know what, Rotom? I've just about HAD IT with you.
You wanna know WHY I wanted to just put this behind us? Self-preservation. I didn't want to fight you because I HAD to before. It did not go well. So MY idea was simply just to avoid you at all costs. But APPARENTLY, Ninja Phantom had OTHER ideas. He went and invited you to this party- Which has stayed WELL past its welcome, by the way- and INSISTED I just talk to you. But there's no use talking to a stone wall like you.
You know what you are, Rotom? You're a self-centered fucking NARCISSIST. I have already tried to convey that I actually care about the people of old, expired universes, but you? You only care about your fucking self. That's all you EVER cared about. You ALWAYS have to have things be your way. Like how you rewound fucking TIME ITSELF to have your way in a final battle that was meant for Beta Man, NOT YOU.
...I hope you enjoy the rest of the party. Because once it is over, you are BANNED from EVER entering my Pizzeria.
...
GAH! Dyna, what's wrong?!
...I feel like somewhere out there, someone exists.
A youkai who's a dirty, cheating convict with no sense of positive morality.
I don't know why, but her continued living infuriates me, and I'm ready to crush her skull like a rotten watermelon the second we cross paths.
...I mean, she sounds rude, but she sounds like small potatoes compared to the likes of Team Mecha or the Life Virus. What makes her so bad in comparison?
...I don't actually know.
... 
(...even if he was brought back from an old DOS game to fill in for Brash, he's certainly his own person for the most part...)
(...but I never thought something like this could carry over.)
(Does Brash hate Seija that much?)
...
...guys, we're leaving.
But the party isn't even-
WE ARE LEAVING. And we are staying out of this establishment even if time collapses in on itself.
Beta Shadow...more like Beta
head.
...
...
...Alright. Who is it?
...I only let employees come in here. To discuss things like promotions and raises and the likes.
...
...*Sigh*...
...Come in.
...You know, Rotom was actually rather impressed with the way you insulted him like that.
Guess he takes that sort of thing better than Jazz did. What I said to him was tame in comparison to what I conveyed to Rotom.
Honestly, what I'm surprised most about is the fact that he actually became willing to forgive you somewhat because of it.
Great. Maybe I can even defeat Regulus with my words.
What a defeat that would be.
...That being said. Are you really going to just ban Rotom from the pizzeria for this?
...The way I see it, Rotom needs to realize how much of an egotist he is. And if this doesn't work, then so be it.
...You don't plan on staying mad at him forever, do you?
...
...To be honest, I kinda always have been mad at him. He's always been a bit of a jerk to just about everyone... It just didn't really surface until today.
...However. Despite what I said... I still believe we CAN be friends. Because regardless of his actions... Whether or not he'd ever admit it, or would LIKE to admit it, I think he still cares about us somewhat. Just a tiny, little bit.
Well, that's good to hea-
Also, nothing I ever say or do is going to stop him from completely annihilating my
every Christmas, so hey, why not just stay for the ride?
...Oh.
...Do you know why I made this Pizzeria in the first place? It's because I'm tired, Beta. I'm tired, and I want to do something more peaceful with my life, Rotom aside.
I mean... Yeah, I DO feel like Rotom wanted revenge for the old universe because he's a self-centered prick. But if it were you, or Sergeant, or, hell, even Ninja? I actually would've UNDERSTOOD why. I blame myself just as much as Rotom does. It's part of why Beta Devil exists in the first place. When he was under full corruption, he believed that lives were a plaything that can be destroyed and replaced. And those thoughts came from SOMEWHERE.
...And it isn't just that. Between those Concept Robot Masters being made specifically to counter my Ultra Instinct, and Sabata wanting Me to deal with Trio.EXE? I just feel like people are trying to make ME the main hero of Chaos Zone. Like I'M the one destined to save the world. But the truth is, I'm NOT.
...People didn't even think I was HUMAN. But that's what I've been. What I've ALWAYS been, Reaper or not. And that means I make mistakes.
...I made Little Papa Beta's because I want to retire from being the hero. And right now, what I want most is to be left alone for a while.
