The wrists. Got it!
*BUZZ*
Monking, I know they exiled you but that's just because they don't understand you. That's not a valid excuse for trying to get back at them.
It isn't about getting back at them. It's about protecting you guys.
So it is here! Come! We must retrieve that blade.
Not so fast.
Hey. You! Yeah you. The purple one. Your name's Sturdy, right?
*ROAR*
Perfect. Just follow the Joe to the barracks.
Ahhh, Superintendents Sabata and Beta! Welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable conversation!
Honestly, I'm glad you've decided to come here. The last people to have visited haven't been very... hospitable as of late. Then there's Powers Personified, but I've came up with a method to distract him for now.
Really, though, what's the problem?
I- uhh, I guess that's close enough? What do you want?
...Alright, Walter, we need to talk... I. Need to talk. And seeing how it's either talk to you about it, or talk to RotomSlashBlast about it...
...Yeah, I think we both know why I chose you over him for advice.
...Seriously, he complains about how everyone tries to "drag him into battle", and then he goes on to say that it's his responsibility to handle these problems. This whole situation has grown to ridiculous levels.
You're actually right about one thing. It's not entirely his fault.
Wh-
Because if anything, everything that has happened in this world is YOUR FAULT. YOU decided to create this world. YOU decided to let it persist. YOU decided to allow it to escalate this quickly.
If you have TRULY changed, you would've ended this practically childish roleplay the moment Beta Devil was DEAD.
...But if you're REALLY going to let all this chaos continue, just to kill a single person?
...Then you're no different from the BASTARD you were in the past.
...Never leave anyone's sight. Because the moment you are alone... I will slaughter you, you sick, phantasmic FREAK.
...Well. That happened.
I'm listening.
*Inhales* Ok.
...So. A Reaper's- ...A Prototyper's task is to write stories. And when you find yourself unable to work on them any longer, you discard them, and write a new story, correct? Null has even once referred to me as an "artist" once before.* ...But then there's Rotom. When I initially went to replace the Ajax universe, I previously never had someone complain at me for erasing or replacing worlds, even when I did it with MegaTale, or Beta and Mega... Rotom was the first... And come to think of it, I think he was the only.
...And even now, when I thought I had gotten over it... Sure enough, I failed to kill Regulus, let alone phase him. And that wish I made? Downright useless. I could've made an entirely different wish... I could've done a whole lot of things differently. And not only am I worried about the possibility of the Wily Omega returning... I'm also looking to destroy all signs of Anti-Omni energy from the previous Anti-Omni Meme, for the sake of ensuring that Beta Devil doesn't have a failsafe to bring himself back to life. In addition, I'm worried of the whole Waluigi fiasco, as well as... Well, something I feel like I have to do when the Super Dragon Balls are active again.
...What do you think I should do?
Well, the first thing I want you to do is stop beating yourself up for so many of the things that happened in the past. Everyone make mistakes. You, especially me-- the entire MMRPG Omniverse.
...I reckon I just heard someone disrespect me.
It doesn't matter how many times you've screwed up as long as you've grown and adapted from them. The perfect human being doesn't exist-- If they did, they wouldn't be human. You have to acknowledge that and move on from your shortcomings. Blaming yourself alone for what happened with Regulus is invalid. Beta Devil is equally responsible for what happened, and besides-- at least you did something.
Speaking of, don't think you have to shoulder everything that comes your way, either. There are several people I'm sure won't hesitate to fight alongside you or help you out, myself included. It's how he lost the first time. It's why you're here. Don't hesitate to rely on others. MKII and Beta Devil-- neither of them are your problem. They're our problem.
The Waluigi ordeal I can handle, you just worry about the excessive amount of customers you'll receive when I end it. And as for the Anti-Omni meme... Have you tried asking Harpy for help?
Also? Take it easy. Try not to stress yourself or find reasons to hold yourself against you. The first person you need to make peace with is yourself. Not Beta Devil... or Anti-Omni Devil... or Omega Element... or those alternate versions of-- y-you know what I mean.
Well, I hope that helps. After all, I'm no shrink.
...You know what? Yeah... I think that did help. As much as it could, at least. ...But, yeah... I think you've got a good point.
...I'm certainly going to struggle. Both from learning from my mistakes, as well as moving on from them... But it's up to me to decide how I should feel about it. At least, that's... somewhat what I'm getting from this.
Thanks, Walt. You've certainly earn that "Cool Guy" spot on the goodness level Tierlist.
...Snarky and clever as usual, huh, Upsilon?
Oh no.
That was way too close...
Wuh? (What just happened?)
Near-disaster, that's what. I'm not sure if I can trust this thing when it faints.
Yoshi! The ball!
Awa?! (What, what do you-)
Just give me the ball!!
Hmh? (Wait, so what are the odds...?)
I have no idea. They're not great, but we're going to have to rely on them.
I'm ready to do it over if it doesn't-
was caught!
...
...
What's going on with you?
...I've just had the strangest feeling that one of my own kind has been captured.
Yeah, well, we're not turning back for that. Especially when we're so close to our destination.
Oh, no. I have no need to see what just happened or why another of my kind is even in this universe... I just find it interesting, nevertheless...
Hey, guys. Wha-
aaaat the
SQUAWK! happened here?
Beta X slammed Ninja Phantom through a table.
...Phantom, what did you do THIS time?
Oh,
SQUAWK! off, I didn't do jack squat.
...Hm. Normally, I wouldn't believe you, but Beta X does hold a grudge against you, so I guess I'll take your word for it... Somewhat.
Seriously? Am I really so untrustworthy that the moment anything goes wrong when I'm around, I'm the one getting blamed!?
...Gee. Thanks. I feel so validated.
Well, you did try to kill all of us on multiple different occasions before everything that happened in this world has started. I think this should be the kind of reaction you should expect.
