...
Ugh... note to self. Challenging Regigigas is a horrible idea.
And now I'm here again. Which means either he knocked me senseless, or...
Did you feel that?
Okay, so this isn't just a delusion. I still have a lot of questions.
...Huh. Funny. I vaguely remember him appearing out of nowhere during this weird dream and trying to save me for some reason. And now you say he's a threat to existence himself?
...You're taking this surprisingly normally.
Oh, no, this just gave me the perfect chance to lay a beatdown on him.
He'll rip you limb to limb like you're a LEGO. he'll multiply your worst PTSD by a quintillion. And you want to FIGHT him head on?
If we along with everyone else absolutely pales in comparison to him, and that he has enough power to destroy everything... What difference does this make?
...
But that doesn't mean we can't come up with a plan. Or... something to help level the playing field.
But first...
Send it.
Yeah. We're essentially the Daniels, while those blue badge-wearing suck-ups are the Cooler Daniels.
Bold of you to assume there's anyone cooler than myself.
Bold of you to use the word "cool" belongs anywhere in allusion to yourself.
Bold of you to--
Big Eye, just get in the damn portal. You two (and Blader) follow us.
...That has to be one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard.
For once we agree.
No, for once you've applied common sense. Why do you think calling up Regulus is a good idea? What's stopping him from erasing everything with a single thought?
You guys, listen.
And what, have you spit out another dumb ide--
If any of you spineless idiots have an iota of care for life itself, you'll shut your mouths and listen.
...For how long I've known him, he was an arrogant lowlife who prided himself on his position. That's why he came after us. That's why he did what he did.
Anthem. You're by far stronger than me, but he holds no grudge against you. You can't make this personal like I can.
...Go on.
He can call himself the Wily Omega, but he's not the only. I've been on the frontlines for Wily, and during my time dead, I've had too many Pokémon battles to count, with some experience in that world that gave me a few new abilities here. And plus, we've never actually fought one-on-one. He corrupted you two and sent you guys to fight me.
We doth apologize for our actions during that encounter.
So what are you planning to do? The guy speedruns the destruction of Solar Systems in his weakest state!
I'm not dumb. I'll need a lot more if I wanna win. But I won't give up. I can't give up. If he wins then everything I once knew-- Including my friends -- are history. And I don't wanna say that it's just my "gut feeling", either. It just feels like this is the way things are meant to be. While I was dead, although I heard it barely as well as it being the only thing I managed to hear... I heard something.
That's when I realized, standing by and waiting to be killed means game over. And that as long as I'm alive-- I have to fight back. There's no simple way to explain it, you guys. It has to be me.
Still, though, I'll need each of your help. Anything you guys know about him, any upgrades, countermeasures-- We're settling this one way or another. What do you say?




...

...
Here's the plan, gentlemen. Since Duracell managed to bull
his way out of every trump card you've used on him, I have a feeling that the only real way to lay a finger on our newest foe is to git gud. Ten years should be a sufficient amount of time to catch up to Regulus' level.
Uno problemo with that, chief. We don't HAVE ten whole years. This Regulus guy isn't going to just sit around for ten years sipping E-Tanks or whatever his favorite drink is. If my data is correct, he's gonna want his plan in motion ASAP.
Oh, don't worry. Due to time dilation bull
, once you enter this portal, Ten years in there will be ten minutes out here. However, when we enter my subdimension, I'm going to put you through an BRUTALLY difficult training regimen I like to call True Soul Melter EX Ultimax Game of The Year Edition Theta. How brutal, you might ask? Well, I'm going to pit you against OBSCENELY buffed versions of ALREADY tough enemies, with minimal healing in-between. In fact, there's going to be THOUSANDS of bosses fro you to defeat, each with their own ridiculous set of said buffs, including but not limited to additional allies, tougher attacks, wider movesets, multiple health bars, straight-up becoming immune to damage temporarily just because they feel like it, and an absurd tolerance to whole grain rice. Plus, those plot coupons Parallel 1, Trimarc, and Collateral like to use will be nerfed quite a bit, and in addition, your party's stats will be HALVED for the duration of our level grinding session. Oh yeah, and even ONE member of your party gets defeated on a boss fight, you have to start the ENTIRE thing ALL OVER. FROM SCRATCH. NO CONTINUES.
Any questions before I open the gates of hell?
...That's literally just the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball.
Nice, no questions! That means we can get this over with!
No house wrecking, got it!
...This might take a while.
Oh, hey, I know this place! This is where Duracell was!
...wait, how are we supposed to fight him?!
I don't think we're fighting him...
HIYAA.
HORAGGH.
...it really isn't the same when they say it so deadpan, is it?
No matter!
Seriously? Phantasm SERIOUSLY thinks the Spider Mastermind is gonna be a challenging 1st boss? I've nuked bigger demons in my SLEEP! ...Literally. I'm starting to think I might have a problem with my mental health.
...Well, Phantasm DID say they would have ridiculous buffs.
Hey, thanks for the trip; I found some extra tools from the other places I've visited!
Lady Suwako, pardon me for asking, but what the heck are you doing?!
I may not know this game as well as you do, but I've studied its history.
You ever heard the tale of 20FF?
Sanae, you're gonna have to cover for me for about 4 seconds.
Wh...
C'mon, show me what you've got.
Careful, now-- You may regret issuing that challenge.
Oh, yeah, I regret that challenge, alright-- you're boring me to death!
Don't count me out just yet!
How?
You wanna save everyone, don't you? Then perhaps to motivate you I should hit you gloves off.
...Unbelievable.
I'm not like some of these jokers around this world. No super-self techniques, no celestial power sources-- I learned to make do with what I have, and so should you.
This Regulus guy won't let you off that easy. Oh, no. MKII or not, he'll aim to break you physically and mentally.
But hey, I'm here to help you. 'Sides, soon enough, you might even be as strong as me! (Ha! Fat chance.)
...Alright. Let's go again.
Going for the face, huh?!?!
!!
Minna, miteite kure!!!
Kyou mo ikinobiru koto ga dekita.
*yaawn* What'd I miss?
So, I'm certain you have learned your lesson, yes?
Relatively.
Better than nothing, I suppose.
I will admit, you have colored me surprised. I didn't think you'd be able to pull it off, and yet... Here we are.
Indeed... So, I get to learn that Demon Sage form, correct?
...I mean, technically speaking, the way things are now, you can defeat your evil self effortlessly. So, sure, why not.
...There you have it. By the way, I hope you realize that attaining these powers mean you're bound for Hell now. No taking anything back now, damage has already been done.
I mean, I have an affinity for fire. I might be able to handle it.
Trust me. You'll be surprised at how wrong you are.
You know, with how you've got one of the Prototype World Rings, you could possibly be quite the assistance against Regulus.
...As much as I am interested in if I could ever win a fight against MKII, I'm afraid I lack what the rest of you lot have: A death wish.
Have a fantastic day, or... Whatever you mortals say these days.
...Oh. What brings you two here?
Hey, dudes!
We were waiting for you because of this.
Rika noticed your acquaintance Kappa Whirlpool had a demeanor befitting this ring.
Come on! Hit me with your best shot!
Hnngh!
Is this it? I can't believe I was ever this weak. This frail. It seems like you were mistaken. You're no one's hope. You're a failure. A disgrace to your friends, your family, your creator, and the entire Omn--
No.
Never again...
Never... again.
Woah, that was pretty neat!
Yeah... but I think we should find a better place to do something like this.
Why? What's wrong with here?
Yeah... maybe we should relocate.
When does the training start?
...
So the beast's finally asleep. Can't believe no one save for us wanted this job.
Yeah...yeah really...
...
...I hate when it does that. Creeps me the Wastebin out.
...Uh hey 529.
Yeah?
...Don't tell anyone, but...I think there's something...supernatural about this thing.
...Go on.
Well...I know it sounds crazy, but I noticed that whenever something...odd happens around this facility, that beast reveals its eye.
So what are you saying? That it's responsible for what happened yesterday with the coffee?
That's not what I meant and you know it. I mean that with the recent...glitches happening. You know, the floors turning green, the walls bleeding goo, the neon flowers-
Woah. Hold up....The walls bled goo?
It was on your off day. The point is that I think THAT thing's responsible for it. Why else would no one take-
Look!
...
Did you see that?
See what?
It's eye just glowed green.
Green? Th-
GHHH
529! No!
