Urgh!
....Try as you might, you will never escape your demise. This is the end of the line for you.
Like, THAT'S ENOUGH!
Well, here we go...
You have more than that, right?
Mate, if this was all I had, I wouldn't have given them away.
Good. Now hide.
Wh-
SYSTEMS ONLINE.
POPULATION OF SNK FIGHTERS IS GROWING.
NEW PROGRAM INITIATED.
ALL LIFE FORMS MUST BE REMINDED WHAT THE TRUE FIGHTING GAME EXPERIENCE IS.
BEGIN PROGRAM.
Um..."Ray", is it?
We're here to, um...give an offer.
See, this ring...we decided it'd be a good fit for you.
(please don't ask what that means please don't ask what that means please don't ask what that means)
So we're offering it to you. It has power. And...uh...if that's not enough...
We'll give you these. Just please don't hurt me.
TARGET IS FROM FIGHTING GAME "SAMURAI SHODOWN".
SAMURAI SHODOWN RELIES ON REMAINING IDLE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME BEFORE ATTACKING.
SAMURAI SHODOWN IS AN INFERIOR FIGHTING EXPERIENCE.
THE IDEAL FIGHTING EXPERIENCE INVOLVES FAST-PACED, RELENTLESS ATTACKING.
All right. I'm, uh...very glad you accepted our offer.
Hungry girl RAY seem like nice friend.
CAPCOM VS. SNK 2 IS INSUFFICIENT IN PACING.
ONLY ONE FIGHTING GAME OFFERS SUFFICIENT SPEED AND COMBOS.
MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2: NEW AGE OF HEROES. 




....This place...
Where on earth have you nitwits taken me!?
....Tch. What a foolish presumption. Your fears of this "mango colored thing" are your own. I fear nothing. Cower as you like at your own leisure, but don't dare to involve me in your poppycock.
...I should, like, hate you. I should despise you, man, with, like, every fiber of my being. You took all of my friends away from me... Scoobs is, like, all I have left of the old gang.
...But, like, you used to be a member of the gang, too. And I, like, still want to believe you can be good again, Scrappy.
...I will never forgive you. You, like, gone too far for me to do so. Crossed far too many lines. But I'm not going to do this because I hate you, man. I'm only going to do this because it's, like, far more merciful than what Regulus would do to you.
...It was rhe right rhing to do, Rhaggy. Regulus wouldn't have been any more merciful.
...Come on, rittle nephew. Let's rive you a proper burial.
...So much for "needing all the energy you can". What point in time are we even going to that requires this much effort to begin with?
...To prove my point that OCs can grow and develop much like trees- and therefore once and for all proving your plot to be completely and utterly insane- ...We're going all the way back to 2012... In another Omniverse. Back to Beta Shadow's first experience with an online roleplaying community.
...We're here.
...You're kidding, right? THIS is where Beta Shadow started off? The fucking Nickelodeon Message Boards!?
...Huh. I guess Reggae can't follow us to the past of another Omniverse, can he?
Yes, I know, his origin is utterly ridiculous. But, everyone starts somewhere. And starting is the first step towards improving... Similar to how planting a seed is the first step towards growing a plant.
Whatever... By the way, what kid is the creator of this dumb-sounding "Shadow Chomper" guy with the dumb username of "Bt1229"?
...That "kid with the dumb username" is Beta Shadow, ~8 years ago.
...You're pulling my leg, aren't you?
Hey, it's the only name that hasn't been covered out of respect of privacy, isn't it?
...What utter foolishness. This is a place for children, and he was like, what, pre-teen at this point? Ridiculous.
Ridiculous? Perhaps. But it was joining this community that allowed for him to grow as both a roleplayer and a Reaper, and without it, he probably wouldn't be a part of the MMRPG Community to this very day.
So, what exactly are we thinking about the remaining Prototype World Rings?
Well, aside from Freedom and Regret, which we ended up picking then and there...
His contributions to this whole mess for profit make Hades a perfect fit for Greed, and I'm not going to doubt Beta X if Vengeance has been on his mind for so long if he's mentioning events not even Kogasa has half a clue about.
Not to mention taking the rings from them, be it through trade or theft, is a one-way ticket to the Zone of Non-Existence...
With Serenity and Bravery, however, we still need to figure out who suits them best.
Someone with the right amount of cheerful will to fight is pretty difficult to narrow down. That includes a lot of the people who have fought even once in Dimension 1 or 2, including some who may not be ready on the regular.
Serenity is the opposite problem. Finding someone who can remain calm and pleased on a regular basis narrows us down to two people, one of which I'm unsure about giving it to, and the other currently being preoccupied with time travel.
Would you care to tell us why Spite and Need matter? They have rightful owners just as Greed and Vengeance do.
See, thing is, I'm not sure how much the current owners of Spite and Need suit their respective emotions.
Admittedly, I could see Mighty using Spite in a sort of recursive way, to get back at the Omniverse for his stolen victory against Duracell by proving he can finish a fight...but I'm not sure if it's enough. I'm not sure if it shapes him the same way other Prototype World Ring owners were shaped by their own emotions.
And the feeling of needing something out of a personal lack of resources sounds like it would fit just about anyone except the wielder of the Omni-Meme. Of course, that ring was cracking last I checked, so maybe it'll suit him better if it transforms like the Ring of Malice did.
Hey, Rika girl, not trying to be a hassle or anything, but who's that first person you were talking about with Serenity?
...
SNK INDIVIDUALS AT LOCATION INCLUDE KYO KUSANAGI, SHINGO YABUKI, AND KUSANAGI.
ALL THREE HAVE STRONG TIES TO THE CONCEPT OF THE KING OF FIGHTERS.
ALL THREE ARE HIGH-PRIORITY TARGETS.
Oh man, that was great!
Don't get too full. We still have a lot of training to do.
Aw, but Master Kyo! All this time and you haven't even given me a sliver of information on how to wield the Kusanagi flame!
....
...Shingo. The truth is--
Where do you two think you're going!? I'm not leaving until after we've finished settling the score!
(And here we go again... Well, at least he's not with those two NESTS clones.. I wonder where they've been as of late.)
KING OF FIGHTERS IS SUBPAR SPEED AT BEST.
ONLY MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST.
COMMENCE TERMINATION OF KING OF FIGHTERS CHARACTERS.
T-termination!?
....
...I'll take care of this, Shingo.
Hey, you. I don't know what you are, or who created you, but maybe it's time someone put a pile of scrap like you in your place. I'd say you'll regret crossing me...
...But you won't be able to do that since you'll be too busy being burnt to a crisp to feel anything.
