You...you mean after all of our years of chasing you down, trying to find some way to bring back the literal dead, going through he** and back... you're just willing to try to undo all of it? Just like that?
Well, so long as we leave him be and we come up with a far better solution for his wish-making system.
Hmm...fair enough.
Well Grand Nova, I think I can speak for the Admiral when I say-
No.
...WHAT?
Not unless you change your name to Grander Nova.
Cause that's what you're gonna be when we're done coming up with some way to take care of this...wish problem.
...
Actually...there are two extra things. First, regarding everything that we did...all the tests I mean...we need to transfer those items. All of it. And unfountently, with the stuff that the Formers placed within you...it has to be done manually. It was made to be wish-proof in case some nutjob(not you of course) decided to remove it. I don't know much about the stuff they had put inside of you other than that though. Besides, since we don't even know exactly what the items even are necessary, said items could be dangerous for you if not removed. You know, like an expiration date or something...
Second, do you remember that dragon you created?
WAHAHA! Still as dashing as ever! No wonder everyone gives me the stink-eye! They're jealous of my looks! But who could blame them? Not everyone is born as handsome as the mighty Wario!
Wario. Do you have any... standard equipment you are used to that we can supply you with?
Now that you mention it, I seem to be missing my motorbike.
...It's everything I ever could have asked for.
Anything else?
I like to carry some... well... explosives with me.
Done.
Thank you, er-- Lord.. Hades? Anyway, there's only one more thing missing, but it's not exactly an item per se. You see, back at my home world I had absorbed enough ...nutrients... that I used to be able to voluntarily transform into what you could call a Higher state of being. Though ever since I've stumbled across this world, I've long since lost the ability to turn into Wario-Maiiiimean transform into this state. If you could help me with this...
Say no more. My Mech servants will take you to a place that will give you all the energy you need....And a little extra.
YOU MEAN FAF? WHAT ABOUT IT?
It's tea MEETING, narrator bot. Not a girlish tea party.
Want some more tea, Mrs Teddy?
Shut up.
So...about that deal...
Ah yes. The deal. It's really quite simple.
Let me guess. Let you "Escape the system" right? Well news flash! You can't.
You're only half right.
Half?]
It's true that by escaping the Prototype, I'll be escaping the system.
...Did you just say that you wanted to escape the Prototype itself? Do you have a loose wire or something?
You think it's a crazy idea?
Crazy...crazy doesn't even BEGIN to describe the lunacy of that statement.
What are you doing?
Just fiddling around with the texting feature.
Now then...as I was trying to say, I want to leave the Prototype so that-
I know. I heard you the first time. Listen. Do you even know anyone out there?
Who cares? I just wanna see the world. I want to fight for never-ending justice! I want to fight against the strongest! I want to meet the elusive shield-wielder! But ignoring all of that, I want to see the sun.
...The sun?
I want to feel the warmth. I want to see a sun not made up of code. I want to feel. Not simulated pain, but actual pain. I want to feel something genuine. I want to-
Do you know how crazy you sound right now?
Even if all of that was true, you don't know the effects of what might happen if you do leave this world and enter the new one.
...
You don't know if you'll destroy this one because of your connection to the system, do you?
...
Now that I think about it, no wonder that portal didn't accept you. Because you don't care, right. Because you're just willing to possibly throw an infinite number of lives-
I DO CARE.
I do care...
(This sheer power I feel.. it makes me feel stronger than ever! Not like anyone was compared to the sheer caliber of my might before. Regardless, I should have more than enough power to turn into that form. I may need an opportunity, however...)
...
Stick to the sidewalk next time, ya schmuck! WAHAHAHAHAHAH!
.....THE
WAS THAT?
D'oh, that punk better pray he doesn't cross paths with me again.
Hurry up, you fools! What am I paying you numskulls for?
Uh, you don't pay us at all, boss.
Not being sharkbait is your payment! Now, hurry up with that chest! They could arrive here at any moment!
...I don't know, guys. I don't think I have the same kind of potential in me...
Nonsense, Sarge! In this world, just about anything's possible!
"Just about" is putting it mildly... But personally, I feel like we're wasting time with this.
Nonsense, Ninja. Matt said we all have something within us. Potential yet untapped. I've already tapped into mine.
Uh, yeah. After one sparring match. Which makes me wonder how "new" that form of yours really is.
You have to admit, Beta. There's something... familiar about this form.
...Come to think of it, yeah... There is an air of familiarity to this form... Like I've achieved it before...
...But whenever I try to think about it, I get a mild headache, then lose my track of thought... Which I don't get why I've been getting that a lot recently.
...Like that Skull Reaper guy. I feel like I know him from somewhere, aside from being Skull Man from another universe... But no matter how hard I try, I can't put my finger on it... Like there's some kind of mental block in my brain, preventing me from putting the pieces together.
Yeah... What is that guy even up to right now, anyways?
Where. The Hell. IS HE!?!?!?
Eh, probably nothing important.
Look, we're getting off track. Now, I'm sorry that I don't exactly have an "Alpha" form like you, or an "Omega" form like Ninja. I don't have a "Theta Sigil" like Rotom, or a "Triple Gear" like MegaBoy.
I'm just me, ok? Now, let's give it a rest. We don't exactly have the time for that before it's time to head on out, anyways.
...Yikes. Poor Sergeant...
I'm not surprised, really... Us Sergeants always get the short end of the stick.
I mean... He was brutally beaten by RSB's knock-off Papyrus in the middle of battle, then "killed" by Darkrai and kidnapped by Ninja Ghost. And that was before his entire world was erased.
...And then there's me... Captured by the same Ghost's goons, converted into his servant, with plans to unleash on you two... Only to be stolen by Jazz, with the purpose of kidnapping everyone's characters to get the attention of the Reapers...
...Maybe if we weren't the punching bags of the Multiverse, we'd have better potential... But we aren't as immune to the insulting way we're treated than we pretend to be...
...Drama queen.
What do you mean "everyone"? Are we not here?!
Dyna, please don't...
Wait, what about the other 8 H.L. Stardroids?
...Whew. Barely made it...
...It's a good thing the portals are closed now, though... Now, no other villain can make their getaway...
...There have been a few heroes, who managed to escape through the portals before I did... I must find them, so that we may band together and force the villains back to the land of the dead, where they belong... For the sake of the future...
...It's time that I, Epsilon, make my move.

You mean...seven others are still out there???
Wait, but if we're supposed to be good guys...
...doesn't that mean they're being fought by another bad guy?!
* ...Heh heh heh... This'll be fun. Let's see if the future-seer is right.
Oh, Metal! I've got a delicate and powerful Chaos Emerald for you!~
