Poy poyo poyo? (Do you really believe in him so much?)
Poy poyo poyo poy... Poy poyo? (He wanted nothing more than to place everyone under an evil influence... Is that what you want?)
...Poy poyo... Poy poyo poy, poyo, poyo poy poy poyo poy. (...That aside... I'd like think that, sometimes, an enemy is just a friend who is lost in their ways.)
That will have changed by the time this encounter is over.
Fantastic. After all this time, I've still failed miserably.
Who are you, and what is it that you want from us?
...
NO! This is all wrong!
There was supposed to be a big fight at the end. There was supposed to be more to this story than a cliche "the villain turns good and everyone lived happily ever after!" That's not how real life works!
Null?
This must be suffering for a reaper, huh GammaGhost?
]{shadow_} You had everything set up. The UKR, myself, Quin, everyone. And then? GammaGuardian appeared and you found yourself without the ability to direct. It must drove you mad. Mad enough to actually wear that stupid helmet, huh?
This is rich. You know that? At least with this "stupid helmet" i'm not just another reaper.
So you're finally awake. Hmph. I thought my technique was getting rusty. Do you know what city this is?
And that right there is the problem! You fools retreat to these forums instead of facing reality!
There aren't heroes in the real world! No Supermans, no X-Men, and no Mega Mans. No one will save you when it comes crashing down. The sun could explode at any minute of any day of any hour, and you spend what could be your last moments behind a screen!
Wait, Mega Man's not real?
And yet despite that, there was supposed to be a lesson, a reason behind this pointless fable. This has been nothing but a waste of time for everyone and for myself!
And I have only so long...
What a hypocrite I must be...Choosing to waste my time on fighting you.
Also...Cosmic Flash!
There. Just saved you a page of explaining how everything's fake and thus wasting more time. And I know what I just said.
Cosmic Flash!
Yeah. You're done here.
An cancelling? Of what? Explain.
...
I will admit, a certain amount of luck played into me avoiding that last attack of yours. You would have killed me for sure.
But you have made it evident that you have lost a great deal of your power. Look at you. You can barely stand on your own without sucking up Walter's life force.
It seems fate simply is not on your side. Hopefully the afterlife is to your liking. Any last words?
M... Motherlo--
We did it boys, Worship is no more.
Now, time to go and have a bowl of my favorite cerea--
...
..Just-- Just get it over with.
...what happened?
I'm unsure...but even with that battle over, I feel another is coming soon after.
... (A new threat...just as we resolved Grey Matter's conquest, no less.)
Yeah...but you know what's weird?
I'm not worried. I feel like after all that just happened, we're a little more ready.
...perhaps we are. In fact, I think now we've found something important to keep ahold of regardless of who we face.
... (Right. No matter how dire things seem...we will keep our hopes high.)
...I expected little more. It seems this future has been claimed. The best we can do is pick up the missing pieces.
Whoah, this is...weird.
...something's off about this place. Kinda feels like there's still-
Easy, easy... you're gonna have to wait until you've recharged your batteries.
Why does it matter? I've done the deed. Regulus is dead. As are all his other backups.
That's great. Absolutely fantastic. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Hey, what's with the sarcasm? I did the world a favor.
Well, maybe this one...
But you've only given more things for Dimension 2 to worry about.
!?
Yeah well let me tell you something.
If I honestly cared what other's would think, I would still stand by what I said. The fact still remains though that there are far too many people out there that are too focused on things that in the grand scheme of things won't matter.
So Quin. How did your invasion go?
...Why didn't you help?
What do you-?
WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP! YOU KNEW IT WAS GOING TO CRASH AND CORRUPT THE PARALLEL DIMENSION, DIDN'T YOU?
...
They're all gone. ALL OF THEM. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF ME! IF YOU AND THAT CPU OF YOURS WAS THERE, THINGS WOULD OF GONE DIFFERENTLY.
All I do is make things worse.
NOTHING IS WORSE THAN THE FEELING THAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW. I HAD YOUR BACK, NULL! WE WOULD OF MADE THINGS BETTER. REGARDLESS OF IF THIS OUTCOME IS BETTER, YOU SHOULD OF BEEN THERE. YOU HATE ME, DON'T YOU?
Don't you...
...
...
No words I can ever say can fix this. But can you please understand...
I'm sorry. Sorry for two reasons. For one, I should of been there. You're absolutely right. I wasted time ignoring my problems instead of facing them head on. And when I did, I let you do things alone. And that's not something that a friend should do. And yet...
You're my best friend.
My only friend. It wasn't that I didn't help because I hated you.
Then why! Why d-
There is another reason. Everything I touch, both directly and indirectly, always seems to meet a terrible fate. All I am is a danger to everyone. To other reapers's creations, to them, and to you. By my simple knowledge of the terminals, you managed to erase your own kind. Can't you see?
I am evil in its most basic form: Unknowing. I know not what consequences I will bring through my actions, but I do know it will only bring pain.
What? That doesn't-
Null...don't do this.
Farewell. Chances are that this chain will take me to a dead universe. Fate won't let me escape and I always run away from it. There's nothing saying that you can't strike a compromise.
That doesn't make any sense! None of this makes sense!
Null! Don't leave me alone! We can find another way. Please! NULL!
You okay there?
