...Welp. I'm bored. Also, something in my soul hurts... A lot. ...Maybe I should look into tha-
...Look, if you're here about my Anti-Omni Powers, then-
Like, relax, dude. While I am, like, here for that, it's not for the reason you'd think, man.
...Continue.
...So, what you're saying is, you need my Berserk Instinct to counter Regulus' El Grande Padre powers? And I'd also need to work alongside 9 other people, including my good counterpart?
Indeed, dude.
...Not happening. While I would downright adore knocking that MKII down a peg or two thousand, I'd rather not do so by becoming an entity who would want to do the exact same thing as what you're trying to prevent. Because I already know how that is going to go down for me in the end.
Like, who said you would have to?
...Just what are you getting at?
...I, like, saw it, man. Within your mind, back when you were shot by that Jazz Droid...
...A technique, developed by the Saiyan god Yamoshi, like, moments before his death, man... Lost and forgotten to time, rumored to only appear, like, rarely to those who are close to death's door... The Final Limit. And it, too, is, like, one of the key powers needed to combat Regulus Grande. And it may also, like, prevent you from going nutso on us.
...
...Puyo! Puy puyo puyo!
...*Whispering*
...Puyo.
...A cake...?
Byyyyyyyyyye!~
...*Sigh* Well, if that's the wish he wanted to make... At least I still have that second wish in reserve. I'll need to use it at the right time. It could be our final chance against Regulus.
...Ok! I know what to wish for!
...*Whispering*
...Very well.
...A cake...?
I've given you your wishes. Farewell!~
Actually, some of those powers are already covered...
...I'm starting to think it was a mistake backstabbing Dub Eggman like that... Maybe I should fix that later on.
It's for display. IRL Beta Shadow had no idea what reason I should be in this form.
...What an interesting power, this "Final Limit"... Shaggy believes it can prevent me from overtaking this body...
...Perhaps we'll see.
Wow. So, this power is all mine...?
...Rand row, your raining is romplete.
...This power is incredible... Certainly a suitable alternative. ...I just have one problem with it, though...
...Do I really need to wear this outfit while using it? I don't really think it suits me that well...
Sorry. Romes with rhe ransformation.
...Incredible... This is the same power Matt bestowed upon the Kais? The same power obtained by Son Gohan, long before El Blanco...
...I am thankful to be granted this power.
...The only powers we are missing are the powers of Orange, Yellow, and Green. ...However, those may just be underway... All we can do now is wait.
...Gee, it's been quite some time since the MMK departed... I wonder what Enker has been doing...?
Punk, of the Mega Man Killers. I believe some payback is in order.
...Do I know you?
...Perhaps not in this world. But in my world, I knew you FAR too well.
...Whatever. What brings the two of you here?
...2 on 1. We fight until one of us gives up. No fatalities.
...Heh. The old me would've jumped right on that chance. But nowadays, I don't fight unless I'm given a reaso-
...Alright, you little twerps; You just gave me my reason to fight.
Reaper. A word often affiliated with death. Misfortune. Hatred. Martyrs. You name it, it's likely got something to do with it. The angel of death does not take pride in taking lives, but it's what must be done. Likewise, a Reaper does not usually take pride in the destruction of a world. Still, if it is willed, then it will be done. But...just as the Pale Rider carries a scythe, so does a farmer. And farmers...well...they give life. They till the soil for seeds to grow. Likewise, Reapers were born to create. New worlds, new faces, new conflicts, new produce.
So I say this: You will always carry the burden of the farmer and the angel. You will always carry your scythe. But for what purpose... To create or to destroy. That's for you to decide. If you leave this usurper to unbalance the scales of life and death, then no one will blame you. After all, it's your call as well as everyone else's which side of the blade you intend to use. I carry my scythe with pride. I believe you can do the same. But what do I know? I'm just a talking loudspeaker in the middle of nowhere.
Shark Man, I mean this with no malice to you or to those you oppose: They can't be as perfect as you think they should be.
How?
They've created countless Dimensions and Omniverses. Anyone with that power should come with the responsibility needed, shouldn't they??
...not necessarily. I know that you have strong beliefs in the kind of beings who are, in essence, the only true types of perfect. I don't think I need to explain further, as I feel it'd break a rule...above this Omniverse's, but below our existence as a whole.
My point is, behind this world's strongest beings are humans, or at least human-like beings, who have their flaws.
True flawlessness isn't possible in this Omniverse, or any Omniverse tied down to Mega Man RPG.
And furthermore: Dimension DOS was entirely out of their realm of knowledge. And that's because, also unlike what you believe in, not all higher-ups in this Omniverse have power over everything. And that's because there are some things they didn't create, or didn't get involved with. That included Dimension DOS.
And now more than ever, using Beta Shadow's shortcomings, especially those that might not even be known in full by Brash Buster himself, to talk down to him will only make things worse.
...
...I suppose you have a point.
The idea of erasing people...it still rubs me the wrong way. But if there's as much thought and regret in it as you say, I'll stop holding it against the Reapers specifically.
Yeah, I could probably build it a couple miles west of the Particle Laboratory. It's good even ground.
I'll even build it to better suit what you're used to.
Thank you so much, Rika. I really needed a place to call my own.
Speaking of which, what would you want to call it?
Probably a simple name, like Doppler Labs.
Cool. I'll add that as a note.
Chunky, what's wrong?
Me don't think something wrong...Chunky actually feel right.
Chunky think if he try hard enough, he know how to watch out for scary things. Like big attacks.
Not know what to call it, though...
Well, Chunk of the Kongs, what have your greater powers been called in the past?
Cranky give fancy science names...but he also give names matching Chunky and Kong friends and family.
Me think will call it...
