...*Sigh* I might not have gotten away with the Master Emerald... But at least I still have the rest of the treasure I took from those crocodi-
WHAT THE-!?
...Why, that no-good...!
Stop right there! Just because you stole from us before, don't think for a second you'll get away with it again!
...Now, hold on for a second there. This is the second time our treasure has been stolen by this guy... And if he's THAT good... He may be the perfect addition to the Krew.
...MESSAGE FROM UPSILON NARRATOR.
...Apparently, not even unimportant sideplots are safe from being completely hijacked and simultaneously ruined. This was supposed to be a fun little battle between the Kremling Krew (sans K. Rool) and Rogue. Mr. Krabs was never even considered. And now that he had made himself known, he was given a chance to play a role without having to derail the entire subplot. And that chance. Is ruined. And since it has become so irreparable... There's only one thing we can do now.
Pi, return the treasures, and give Mr. Krabs his consolation. End communication.
COMMAND ACKNOWLEDGED. KREMLING KREW, YOUR TREASURE.
...SUBJECT "Eugene Krabs". THIS IS FOR YOU.
CONCERN YOURSELF NOT; SUBJECT "Krabby Patty Secret Formula" WAS CONJURED BY UPSILON NARRATOR. I KNOW NOT THE CONTENTS OF THE KRABBY PATTY. NOW, THEN.
...NOW LOCATING SUBJECT "Rogue the Bat".
Well, uh... That happened.
Boss! You came back! How was training with Robbie Rotten?
...Hmph. As if I'd speak of my progress and risk letting any 4th-wall breakers know of it!
...Uh-huh. By the way, that Mr. Krabs guy came back... I think he managed to get away with one of your crowns.
Ah, no matter. I have a hundred more... Now, then. I believe the time has come for us to rest for the night. Can't exactly fight Regulus when tired, now can we?
...It's still the Afternoon.
Come now, Robbie! It wouldn't be like you to just refuse a chance to take a load off, now would it?
...*Sigh* No, I suppose not...
Yeeeesss... now that they're saving their best, it's time to strike them whi--
No.
How?
I think that's the least of your problems. What you should be worrying about is this.
The hell kinda robot was he supposed to be, anyway? Weirdo.
Sorry about the holdup.
Ah, there you are Rika. What exactly happened?
Nothing important.
Well...now that you're here, could you help us with these?
Hm...the Sage Medallions and Purity Heart, huh?
Well, considering that the Sage Medallions awaken the power of Hyrule's Sages - hence the name - I'd imagine that a transformation would grant someone power nearly equal to said Sages. That'd include their individual elemental abilities, as well as general repelling of evil.
And given how it was formed, a transformation from the Purity Heart would likely give the user love-based powers. In practice, it'd probably be like the non-elemental use of the Sage Medallions.
Of course, given that these were designed to stop evil specifically, that narrows down their potential wielders. Not quite to the "pure of heart" level of the Crystal Coconut, but morality and history are definitely factors.
...Hm...
Something on your mind?
...I-a wonder. The World Rings- from what I have-a been told- are created from a balance of-a 7 emotions...
...If we were to-a find artifacts with a similar balance of-a emotions... How much would our chances of-a victory increase?
Okay, A. Don't ask how we got this line, B. Don't ask how long we have been listening, and C. Lemme ask you guys this. You guys have been too busy thinking inside the box.... Well, technically we're thinking inside the box too but you get my point.
Granted. Our last visit didn't go too well either, but we may have sneaked a nanobot into their base of operations during our last visit before being blasted off. All we have to do is have it emit a charge into one of their little guards that makes them listen to our commands, control it to go over to that switch, and presto.
Hey, are you telling them about my pla- *OW!*
You didn't even know it existed until we told you an hour ago, dimwit!
...Convenient. But where were you all earlier?
*audible shrugging noises*
...A question. If you don't mind. World Rings- including prototype ones- only activates upon reaction to a strong emotion of what matches it.
...And seeing how "Presents" isn't really an emotion- more of an object, really- ...How does that ring even work? What kind of emotion does it even search for?
Uhhh....
Hey, dude, you good?
Oh, no, I'm uh... I'm fine. I just need to use the bathroom.
Oh. Steady on, then.
..."Bathroom"? Wait a sec--
I've rerouted it's data onto the motherboard (along with a first-person view), and whaddya know? These robots are built in with automatic tracking knowledge of (almost) every room in here. It was actually... pretty... easy. This Treasure Room seems a little unorthodox, though. Nearly none of these robots have the authority nor power necessary to activate it.
For someone that prides himself on leading an trans-intergalactic-dimensional business company, I'd be willing to bet he's got more than just your average pool of gold coins. Or zeni. Or yen.
Bingo. I trust your forces are ready to attack?
We have them surrounded. Enter and we'll go on the offense immediately.
Perfect. This has been a long time coming, Hades... you and your little game is over.
All right, you all, prepare to launch the offense in three... two... one.
Ah. So they've taken the bait. Fine, then. if it is to be conquered you desire... then conquered so it shall be.
Now look at what you've did, you nigh-all powerful idiot! Now we have no time left! And you want us to sit there at let him allow Regulus to get away with Omniversal destruction!?
No. Screw that. What we're going to do, is nip this in the bud!
