Hmmh... (I mean, that solves the problem...but are you sure this is okay? Like, ethically?)
Well, I could hear the thing from...somewhere*, but it wasn't any more coherent than what we heard here. Pretty sure it's not as intelligent as someone from Dimension 2.
Not to mention it probably wasn't in the best condition to remain on its own anyway. TM07 is a big problem, so I'm going to make sure they forget it next chance I get. Honestly, we're lucky it didn't use TM07 before we got here.
Still probably going to have to be careful who I talk to.
You just had to finish your encounter with 'M the quick and easy way, didn't you?
Hrrngh! (If quick and easy means I can get back to my friends faster, then so be it!)
Hmh! (Just who the heck are you, anyway?!)
Who am I?
What a question...it's as reasonable as it is foolish.
For my name will be your dying breath!!
Well, it sure is great that we ended up saving the princess! Too bad those stupid turtles on that fortress were both fakes.
Yes, yes, zat is all good und all, but right know zhere is something really important you must do.
What?
Hide. Zhose lousy Mario Brothers vill no doubt be here any moment now, und ze moment vhen they arrive, I am going to scare zheir naive zocks off! Zo hide, right now!
Nyeheheheh! This is going to be great!
...This is really happening. I cannot believe this.
Come now! Wario and Waluigi are very welcome guests! If not for them, the Mushroom Kingdom would be in great peril!
...I have my doubts
Tennis Waluigi? What're you doing here?
Alrighty, I know you guys are up to your usual schemes, but there's something you should probably do without any further delay. You remember how you gave that restaurant you visited a review to get even?
...What of it?
You should probably, uhh, oh, I dunno, delete that?
Why??
Ermm...
Because, er... Because I said so!! Besides, who cares about some old rusty Restaurant!?
...Huh. Well, I can't object to that. Guess I'll delete it.
Now then, where to hide...?
You will tell no one this happened. Understood?
Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm!
The Netherworld?
I can't even call that quaint.
Hah! (What, like you're a big deal?!)
As a matter of fact, I am.
You have friends from Gensokyo, do you not?
Recently, something happened in its Former Hell*.
Quite a concept, wouldn't you say? A Hell deemed obsolete, replaced by a new one.
And yet, it wasn't the first time.
Indeed, I am from such a Hell. A Hell that was forgotten as soon as a single scarlet devil entered the scene†...
Since that day, eighteen years ago†, I have sworn to fight for the original Hell of Gensokyo, and for those whose names faded from history just the same as-
Less talking and more doing would be great.
...And the next thing I-a knew, I was pierced straight in-a the neck by-a that dragon's tail! And-a to add insult to injury, he-a took my-a cap, too.* It took me 5-a whole days just to convince him to hand it back... And that's-a AFTER the recovery process in-a the hospital. For-a 1 whole week!
...Wow. You aren't kidding when you say it's rough out there.
That's-a nothing! You should've seen my-a encounter with-a Death himself!**
...(On second thought, maybe I won't join the Smash tournaments...)
Anyways... Thanks for-a the lift, you two.
Not a problem! Later, Red!
Hello? Did-a anything happen while we were-
V A R I O V I L L S H O W Y O U F U -- Agh, I bit mein tongue!
Vun year. I vill scare vou two vun year yet.
Ugh, so much for that. Waluigi, mark 2020 as a failure.
...Waluigi?
Wario? What are-a you doing here? ...Wait... Has-a Waluigi run off somewhere?
...Also, who's-a that guy?
APOLOGIES, SUBJECT "Proto Man Alucard". I APPEAR TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE BARRIER CREATED TO KEEP YOU HERE DUE TO THE COMMOTION AT LOCATION "Gemini TV Tournament".
...THERE. YOU ARE NOW FREE TO DO AS YOU WISH... WITHIN REASON.
...Seriously, what did I-a miss?
Do you really think you can end this story so soon?
Hmh. (You know what? Mao's got the right idea.)
Henngh!! (I don't think this is about Gensokyo's first Hell anymore; you just wanted to be dangerous again, and you didn't care that I had a life outside of my island.)
Wuh! (I'm leaving. And going where my friends are. Which is where I should have been this whole time.)
Honestly? Rumia or no Rumia, you've been wasting your time, Konngara.
This whole thing about fighting for "those whose names faded from history" isn't really needed around here. People much more forgotten than those you picked for your little conquest are out there living their own lives just fine, and most of them who aren't being friendly about it are just hurting people for the sake of it*.
Trust me, I know a lot of those "forgotten" people from experience. One of them actually used to be where you are right now, and yet she was saved from rock bottom.
...
*sigh*
Here. No use in wasting more time on this island.
What's it to you? It's not like you were there when Peach was kidnapped.
Yes, it's true. It happened right from under our noses, and thankfully, Wario and Waluigi (and Petey Piranha) were there to stop them from getting away.
Darn right I was!!
You abused the Magic Paintbrush into doing whatever you wanted.
But the ends justify the means! Isn't that right, Waluigi-- aw, crap, he's in one of the paintings.
Which one!?
Hmmm... If I had to guess...
Blast it, how could I, King Bob-omb, be defeated by such a fiendish foe? And with such a dastardly mustache, nonetheless.
That's what happens when you try to compete with the best of the best!! You wanna reign over this place as the ruler!?...
...Too bad. Waluigi time.
He's probably getting his butt kicked out there for sure. That dunce couldn't defend himself for his life!
As complacent as you have been, you've neglected to tell these two something we've only recently found.
What?
THERE ARE TWO BOWSERS!!!
I did it! I beat Omega Rugal!
Next on the list is Shin Akuma. Good luck with that.
*grumpy noises*
Hmmm. How interesting. Two psyches both in one body.
???
Ah. My sincerest apologies for intruding on your realm, Mr. Walter...
I merely wish to satisfy simple curiosities on my end.
Never minding how you got here... Who are you!? You remind me of MKII... but I don't sense any evil... or... anything from you.
My identity is of leastmost importance, but for the sake of future informalities you may refer to me as Proto Matter. As to what I am... Perhaps that will be revealed at a later date.
Right. The next question. What curiosities?
Forgive me for going on a tangent, but this world has an abundance of fascinating features... powers, if you will.
You yourself are no exemption. You yourself are capable of harnessing the energy of your latent sentiments and manifesting powerful boosts of which. There is Justice. There is Chaos. And then there is Emotion.
The headbanded one is no different. A lone wanderer, he attempts to conquer the Satsui no Hado, Power gained through Murderous Intent that is inside of him, and seek enlightenment in The Power Of Nothingness, born through spiritual and mental refinement.
This so-called Omniverse is like no other, to have a variety of different components that make people who they are. And as such, I find it interesting to travel through in search of each of these powers. Whether it be Magic, Science, or the Spiritual, the extravagance of abilities is truly captivating in my respectful opinion.
...Huh.
This has been an enlightening experience thus far, Walter. I thank you for lending me your time and listening to my words. I will leave you to your business.
