Hnngh... Too bad it'll take more than that to grind my gears! Men! It's demolition' time!
What's wrong, boy? F'y'can't stand the heat, stay outta the kitchen!!
Wario, I thought we already established that there's no necessity in collecting coins anymore.
If there's one thing I learned, Waluigi, it's that it's better to be safe than sorry. You never know what money-sucking monsters you may find in this world.
Wahahah! No losers are going to rain on this parade!
I dunno... I have a bad feeling that something is on the way.
Ah don't gettit! One moment dere's Dark Matter everywhere, da next we ain't findin' a thing, let alone hearin' from da regular UKR troops!!
Maybe mean Dark Matter and soldier people taking break?
Chunky, da first wave o' Dark Matter stuck around for five years, an' three o' dose years were spent gettin' worse n' worse!!
*bwip* (He might actually have a point, Dedede.)
... (Indeed, Dark Matter was relentless when it first showed its face in Pop Star. But it's very likely several outside factors have changed how the UKR is planning moving forward, and that likely includes Dark Matter's involvement in their plans.)
...perhaps. But I ain't ready t' abandon da search entirely.
None of us are, Dedede. But if we put all our eggs in this basket, we run the risk of ignoring new threats.
*sigh* Ah guess so.
LARGE ENEMY OBJECT APPROACHING. NO REFUGE.
...none of us know what you're talking about.
"SHORTSTACK" IS INAPPLICABLE TO US. IN THE CONTEXT OF A SENTIENT BEING, IT IS SLANG REFERRING TO WOMEN WHO ARE OF SMALL STATURE AND HAVE HIGH MEAS-
Dach, stop explaining right now.
All right, where is she?!
And just how sure are you 'bout that, varmint? 'cause I recommend you look again.
This'll be a piece'a cake.
Well, now that R.O.B. and those three Pop Star residents are passively checking on Dark Matter, I wonder what-
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAB AND WHERE DID-
...uh...
...Rumia's really been getting to you, huh?
Hm...only a few months ago?
...well, as much as we did research that, you never told us what we did.
Here's one for the road, yard ape!
...And then he just comes out of the box and says "kept you waiting, huh!?"
Doesn't seem like a bad entrance to me.
I'unno, to me it sounds plain lame. I mean, a box? In that kind of atmosphere the aesthetic loses a good deal of it's charm. Not much impressive with box shenanigans when there's others that have beaten literal gods. Hell, one of them IS a god*. Call it a bias of mine, but since I'm not the cowardly type, I don't see the big deal in it. Whaddyou think?
I-- YOW!!
....
Ugh... what the hell was that?
I'unno... felt these... sharp things pierce us.
Whatever it was, we'll have to watch out for any strange signs later. I'll just grab my bag and--
...Wario?
WHOEVER YOU ARE, I'LL FIND YOU FOR THIS! FIND YOU, AND POUND YOU TO DUST!
..Hoo boy.
Three... two... one.
Heh. Too easy. Small fry like him never learn. Now, I reckon you'll be coming with me as a prisoner of--
Mr. Spike, I believe capturing this ape needn't be necessary.
I bring news from the his foulness himself that a change of plans is in order. This ape is to be the least of our priorities currently. He possesses zero threat to the Koopa Troop, and is as such, NEGATIVE concern of his.
Are you sayin' that the (albeit barely any) trouble I went through to stomp that burly behemoth is for naught!?
Q-quite the c-contrary. *ahem*... You will still have your reward... And better yet... more opportunities to increase your earnings, AND get the desired revenge you seek.
...
...Well, why ain't'ya say so!? 'sides, 've got better to do that to waste my sweet time on dirty monkies!
Excellent! Then we shall be taking our leave!
...
Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. H--
--What? Can you not see I'm busy?
Yes, because Meditating and Mental Image Training is so important.
Look, if you want, I can create a living construct for your conscious to inhabit. Then you'll be able to do whatever kooky stuff you want. But don't pester me for the sake of your own boredom.
Hmmph. And I thought Proteus talked you out of that stupid pacifism stuff you were doing.
I'm doing what I have to do. I will act when the time callwoahwoahwoahwoahWOAH! You feel that power too, right?
Huh. This is rather unexpected. We should probably check this out.




State your identity and reason for being here. I'm not going to repeat what literally everyone says and whine that I need a break, mainly because I've done nothing for the near 5,000 pages, but I won't lie when I say that your presence here is... disturbing.




....
Okay... we're actually doing this.
C'mon, he's just a stupid muppet. How strong could he be?

Buddy, I can't let you do this. Look. I'mna give you the obligatory warning. Take yourself and your men back to where you came from. No bloodshed will occur if you follow this direction.



...
What happened to the Tournament thing you wanted to do?
I've not the slightest clue.
