. This fails and he dies. However, now there are two universes, the second of which is based off of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon universe.
. This fails, and now he shares a body with a guy named Walter. (Worship is currently in control, however, but he's better now. Ish.)
. This fails, but instead of dying, they proceed to lurk in shadows.
. This fails, and he is sealed away.
up again. Meanwhile, so does a robot named Coda, the trio of Badniks from before, and several other villains, making it a callback to (mostly) all above events, which is where we left off.
Even if I hadn't proven myself before*, one thing stands between us now more than ever. I have more than my own pride to rely on.
Well, look who decided to come to the family reunion.
Meaningless!
A warrior is determined by their might and might alone! Bearing the burdens of one another only harbors weakness and misery!

Alright, how's this: What is the name 'Vaati' to you?
Ngh... The name certainly rings a bell... but I can't quite put a finger on it.
Like an equation missing from the puzzle. That's also not to mention Meriken, Monami and the others are missing, too.
I don't understand. Who the Home For Infinite Losers is this Vaati guy?
Some Minnish moron who stole a lot of power that wasn't his and plans on flitting a lot of people's ship.
Yeah!? And how'd'ya figure he's involved with this, dirtbag!?
It's simple, Marvel 2 low tier.
I am... 90? percent sure I have no idea who that is. Also, rude. What did I ever do to you?
I for one believe it... mostly due to the fact there is very little reason for anyone to be lying at this point.
(Are we... interrupting?)
Yeah, you should probably wait outside-- hold on, you look just like someone I know!
It's them, you ninny.
...
(Damn! Lost focus!)
...
(...Did he somehow not notice... or?)
HAGH!
Wh-what the hell!?
Did you really think I wouldn't notice you trying to ambush me back there? It looks like your bark is worse than your bite.
Well, let me tell you something. I don't know who the hell you are, but I won't let you use me as a punching bag. I won't let anyone use me as a punching bag. I'll never lose. I'll never give in. I will always be the strongest. Even if it means reducing the rest to nothing.
H-hey, wait a min--
...
...Hnh. The world sure is filled with a bunch of sorry lowlives, isn't it? ...State your identity and plans. I won't ask nicely a second time.
..."Strongest robot", huh? Don't make me laugh. Though I guess I'll humour delusions this time around..
...Try to end up half a worthy challenge, okay?
The hell!?
Bring on your best hit.
Try stayin' in one piece! Hyyyah!
You like that!? That's what happens when you piss me off! And there's plenty more where that...
...
*YOOWWWW!* scream from tom and jerry
Just what are you made of!? I know for a fact this isn't any kinda ceratanium! How d'ya even move in that hide!?
Still think my claims are all talk!?
Why, you little--
...Ya know, Albert Einstein did make a statement about the folly and insanity of repeating actions over and over while--
EAT THIS! GYAGYAGYAGYAGYAGYAGYAGYAGYAGYAGYA
Close quarters really isn't your specialty, is it?
ShutupshutupSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!
What do you hope to gain from doing this? The element of surprise? Because you haven't completely failed in that department.
MOTHERLOVING BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---
And just what do we have here...?
...Another Devil counterpart. And let me guess...
...You're only after me because your Non-Devil counterpart refuses to come.
I was right to, you know. And I still am. There's strength, bravery, heroism... And then there's stupidity. The inability to realize that you're in over your heads.
...The failure to realize that there are some battles you just cannot win.
...You know what? You're right. Maybe it IS foolish to think we will win.
...But it's better to at least TRY than doing nothing at all. Because if we sit around and do nothing, we'd have less of a chance of success than we do if we try.
There may be situations where we don't have a chance to win... But even amongst battles with no chances of victory, there are situations were we HAVE to win.

...Excuse me. Ashura, was it? If I may ask... You said you were some form of alternate Sonic, right? Why didn't you turn Hyper like him?
To be honest, this form alone pushes the limit for containing the-
...Well, that's not really all that important. Just... Trust me, for... safety reasons, this is the best I can do for myself. Not that all Sonics could use Hyper Form. AoStH can't even go Super.
...Right. Now, follow-up question... Shouldn't the four of us be out there, too?
Stanley's right. Regardless of-a how many people are there, we can't-a just leave Sonic and-a the others to fend off on-a their own, right?
Right. But as you are now, you're unprepared. That's why we're waiting for-
Sorry I'm late. It took a while to find this form again... Not to mention finding and reaching this place to begin with.
...Is-a that...?
...
(...Who was that guy...? And what did he want with me?)
(If my hunch is right, then I can't just let him off the hook. I have a nagging suspicion this isn't some random thugarino--)
Nice try. But I won't fall fo--
(Okay, so throwing him off won't work. Plan A it is.)
Alright, not bad! But let's see how you take these!
They're following me!?
What's wrong, Mr. Strongest!? Have to run away from a simple"lowlife"!?
So it figures.
I'm far from out of the game!
REBUILD GREY MATTER NUMBERS TO SIZABLE PORTIONS
What have you done?
I didn't do anything!
Why do you have to botch everything up? Because of you absorbing me and linking your lifeforce with mine, me reverting also caused you to revert, creating this...monstrosity!
...
I told you to stay behind!
...
Now you've thrown away my one last chance of redeeming ourselves! Why! Even if I were to die, at least it was fighting for the right cause! Now we'll die at traitors!
...
DO YOU EVEN CARE?
!
...sorry.
We're starting to get overwhelmed here...
...Reggae?
...May I ask... why... You are here?
...While I appreciate the back-up, don't you think being here is a little...
...Dangerous?
...Look. You might have incredible speed, but I'm not sure if you're cut out for a battle of this magni-
Wait, we?
Hey, maybe we can go over there to figure out what this place is
...UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
I know that all too well. But carrying that burden can save a warrior from their greatest weaknesses...
Those they never see for themselves.
