...Hm. Truth be told, Worship, I had no correlation with whatever is going on... But the thing is, neither does HighTower, or even Brash Crew. Nor did they had any correlation with the MKII battle. But Walter let them intervene anyways. And that's the problem.
...But if this is the way you wish to run things, then so be it. I have no power over you.
...But when you or Walter slips up, and HighTower inevitably finds a way to ruin your plot? Know then that you have lost every right to come crying to me.
Hey, just what's your dea--
Uh... what?
*ROAR* (What, do I look familiar?)
Well, sorta... Almost like a certain potted plant I've met.
But that's not the point. Who are you and what's your business with me?
Who I am isn't important. What is is that I've been recruited by a certain friend** to relieve you of your status as "living".
And just who is this person?
I'm afraid that's classified information, Mr. Bogard.
...Phi Doppelganger? Hm... the clones of McAfee Industries* caused quite the trouble for the heroes... But then again, it was likely because there weren't many heroes previously.
...My relations towards McAfee Industries is rather... complicated. But, perhaps he could be a welcoming addi-
...The hell is this sensation...?
...I see. So he has grown stronger.
(This-a feeling... What IS-a this?)
...I'm not the only one who's sensing this, right?
Great. The one thing I do get to be aware of, and I still don't know what it means.
Now's not the time, Beta.
...
...What in the world...?
(The hell...?)
(...Huh. This is new to me.)
What was that!? Is this the result of the Chaos becoming unbalanced?
No... This is something different.
Whatever it is, I have a bad feeling about it.
...What in the name of the gods is going on?
My guess, in all honesty? Trouble. Lots of it.
...Hey, boss! We found the fortress we were looking for-
...Jazz?
...
...As I have predicted. Had Beta Shadow simply finished the job when he had the chance, back at the Alleyway, perhaps such a moment could've been prevented.
...Well, now. This should be interesting.
...You know. As much as I hate you... It's all because of you that I have become this powerful. So I guess a thank you is in order.
(The hell is this power...!?)

Kill who--
No one! Wahahah, Mao, what a great story you told me!
...
...Sorry about that. Wario cannot under any circumstance know of this event's existence. He'll be like, "Oh, Waluigi, what're ya tryin' to do, get me in trouble with Master Hand?".
Anyways, Steve? Yeah, I've hired a group of people to keep tabs on his little "staying place" at the moment. Once I give him the signal, it'll be lights out for him, Alex, and the rest of all of those cubed curs.
The Wahfioso is coming all together. And there'll be nothing in it's way.
Alright, Devil. What power is this, and how did you obtain it!?
...What power? Why, my friend... It's the impurest of all evil. As for how... Well, aside from the fact that I haven't been just sitting on my ass the whole entire arc, that's just the difference between you and I.
You- as well as all other Reapers- are merely human beings, trying to play the role of a god... While I am the strength of a god, separated from the body. All without the pathetic strengths of beliefs, personality, emotions... Instead, I AM FREE TO CREATE MY OWN!
I can obtain any sort of power I desire... All because that is EXACTLY what I am: POWER UNRESTRAINED. Compared to me, especially now, you are NOTHING!
...I am not restrained by that lazy, miserable failure Robbie Rotten, nor am I by Shaggy, the Anti-Omni Meme, the fool who now calls himself "Theta Mephisto"...
...And sure as hell, not by YOU.
Th-this- *Cough* ...This... is... bullsh.....
...Hm. But it appears I must digress... I had not expected this form to trump you this much. I expected much more out of you.
No, no. This simply won't do at all. Sure, I want you dead... But if you are incapable of fighting back in the slightest, then it just isn't satisfying. I would prefer to kill my ultimate rival thinking he actually has a CHANCE, simply so I can joyfully CRUSH his hopes.
...Tell you what. I'm going to send you back to your little Pizzeria. From there, you can have all the preparation time you desire.
Just be weary of what'll happen when you next lose, my dear counterpart... Because this is the only second chance I shall grant you.
What now]{n}
I just... Sensed an incredible evil. Like something utterly vile has awoken, ready to taste the suffering of others, but willing to wait in the shadows to get the job done...
...But, ah well. It's probably nothing.
What the
SQUAWK! !? Is that Beta Shadow!? Is that Beta Shadow knocked out!? Why the hell is he knocked out!?
I-I don't know, Beta Devil just knocked him out like he was nothing!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN he just knocked him out!? He had Ultra
SQUAWK! ing Instinct!
W-well, maybe he found a stronger, new form?
LITERALLY HOW!?!?
...Yep. Probably nothing at all.
Heya I'm...oh...?
Someone beat his ass? That ain't good...I've seen him fight...and he's not a pushover...I don't know how insane he's powered up since I last saw him...this can't be good.
Oh god, what do I do... I need to do something to help but...I'm still gaining power, I can't reveal who I am, I'm still not used to this body...I'm.....

I know you're here to talk, Brash. Just say it.
Be more concise, please.
In all fairness, the master post has always said that the Chaos Zone could be perfectly prone to ending, so long as Beta Devil was destroyed. And Beta Shadow has every right to do so; the Trio of Origin may have been reduced to decoration, but he has the power to end this roleplay.
Reasonable enough. But Regulus was defeated, and-
Brash, let your characters do the job. If things don't work out, we move on. It's as simple as that, and you're just making it sound more complex because you're bitter about something you probably won't even lose.
Calm down, ALL OF YOU!
...So, this "Beta Devil" has gotten stronger. Big whoop. That only means that we need to be stronger, too. All of us.
...Moto. Call up that Alpha Fire guy, and tell him to get the others and come down here immediately.
As for the rest of us... We'll need to get ready to train harder than we ever had before in our lives.
This went to hyeck real fast didn't it? What do you need from me specifically?
I wish I could train but I'd have to separate from the group and go into the "unknown" so to speak...this is a predicament...
The Dos Leaders, destroyed... Compass and co missing...Dark Man abandoning me, the Killers wiped out...Jevil...he's useless... Trio Duo and the Genesis Unit are the only ones who could help me, and even then I think duo got destroyed as well...urgh...I have to do everything myself...
I need to focus on the task at hand...reunite with L, beat his ass...although that is only a side task... I need to find the other dos bots...and potentially...any universes...them...
Apollo...and Luna...
Well, first thing we know; we're not using the simulations*. Those were based on what had been faced before, and even if the power creep didn't cause that plan to backfire then, it would now.
Second. We will be using those artifacts, but not only will we - as in, those of us who can respond immediately - be using them, we won't be relying on them. If Beta Diablo can knock Beta Shadow out of Ultra Instinct, he can definitely knock physical objects out of us. We need strength that can stick with us.
Third, we need something to counter planet-killers. Not having something like that is another reason Regulus didn't work out for us, and I have every doubt in the world that just stacking our shields like we did back then is going to work. Heck, I'd be surprised if it worked back then.
An' fourth. We gotta figure out how t' do all dis togetha. We done tried havin' one guy set up most o' da trainin' before, an', well...
...if we wanna 'void dat problem again, we gotta talk 'mongst us.
No more numbered stats. We're not gonna be spectators this time.
