. 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.
The signpost. An interesting idea...
Do none of you know how wraiths or evil spirits work? When I'm in this form, I'm impervious to all attacks. Course, I can't do much...except for this...
So long as I can build a body in time I will never die!
...And another match taken by the fighting machine DX! This marks the eighth win in a row thus far!
Wait, what's that!? we've reached a total of 1,000,000 Ƶ bet on DX so far! Whoever can topple him will no doubt gain a fortune!
Hnh! I would've pounded him no problem! Anyway, I do not feel like staying on the sidelines any longer...
It's time to fight!
...Woah. That was fast! it looks like we have a new challenger!
My name is Flamenco. I've come to challenge and defeat you. You can save yourself any potential harm by forfeiting.
You refuse my warning!? Then I will burn you into a crisp and incinerate your dreams!
Now it seems our new contender Flamenco here has gotten fired up over DX's resilliance! How will this fight shape up!?
You shall rue the day you chose not to relent to Flamenco's fury!
...



...How will I be strong enough?
What...what is this sorcery?
Do you consider yourself the strongest?
What...what kinda question is that?...
...Spirit. Is this a test of pride?
Do you consider yourself the strongest?
...Yes. So what?
What makes you the strongest? The ability to see into the future? The ability to bend others to your will? The ability to call upon the angels from above or the demons from below?
No. I don't need any gifts from the divine.
Without a special power, how can you consider yourself the strongest?
Pure skill and a worthy blade such as this.
Hey! Put that down!
Interesting material. The edge appears to be strong enough to cut through the skin of a Gratuby while the core of it seems able to withstand direct hit from a spiked hammer.
Tell me spirit. You're not a spirit of this blade are you? Are you a god?
No. Far from it. Like you, I worked night and day to get to where I was. And just like you, luck has lent me a gift most sacred.
What gift? If you wish to boast about some power from whatever god you worship then save it. I will not follow any deity that sits by idly nor anyone for that matter.
I do not represent any accursed gods nor devils. I represent thyself. You have been brought here because I wish to offer you something.
Not interested.
It's not some newfound power.
Then what is it?
A land full of opportunity. A world that makes Sacare look like a little island. A world where some of the strongest of beings exist. A galaxy full of soldiers waiting for someone to follow to glory.
What's a galaxy?
It matters not. If you think you're the strongest through skill, then compared to that nation you come from, you'll find yourself lacking.
What do you get out of it?
Similar to how you sought a worthy weapon, I wish to retrieve a worthy weapon as well.
I'm no errand boy.
Indeed your not. That is why I offer you a true test of power for the both of us.
Us?
Our goals are aligned. The best bladesman versus the best axemen. And more than that, well both be able to slay gods by the end of this.
Interesting...
...So in exchange for sending me to a new world to retrieve your object, I'll become the best blade NOT through any magic but through experience.
Yes.
...Will I return to my land by the end of this?
If you so will it.
...Spirit, you have a deal.
Woah! This is not looking good so far! Why If I could... in fact I will!
Invincible my ASS.
Ok, now I've had it. You think just because you can become massive, you can just outright say that I would hakai you? Your even more pathetic than I thought.
(Damn!)
Hnh! Don't tell me this is your limit! I came here expecting a challenge, not to be a babysitter!
(This guy... he's not as fast as Somari... but I can tell he's not even using his full speed, either.)
(There has to be some kinda weakness he must have...)
Heh... In any case, if you're this beat up already, there's no point in getting my hopes up. I'll just annihilate you like the bug you are!
That is enough.
...
OKAY, CAN A GUY NOT WATCH SOME V-TUBERS IN PEACE!?
They aren't real and they don't care about you!
WHO ARE YOU TO TALK ABOUT REAL!?
I AM A FAIRY, DAMMIT! WHAT ABOUT THAT IS SO DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT!
...
...
...
...Like Mentos and Coke.
What the hell? Wasn't it you who told us to curbstomp these guys into dust for trespassing?
Circumsta--
Circumstances have changed. There are more pressing matters to attend to.... so we will be postponing the eradication of these pitiful fools until after our preoccupation.
Y-- Wh-- Y'can't b-- YOU'RE SERIOUSLY GONNA BLUE-BALL US A SECOND TIME?
Hey man, I'm just in it for the ride. Where we really end up is none of my concern.
And we kinda don't know them personally, either. It's basically "my friend told me to beat up your friend and since you're fighting with him and his friend that means you by proxy".
And as irritating as your needlessly pushy tendencies derived from your atheism are, I don't hate you. Or any of you guys. Except you.
you.
So it's settled, then? Just like that?
Looks like it tbh. Not that I care, anyway. My indifference isn't even a "this isn't worth my time" thing, I just feel this way about everything. Feels sorta numb. I think something might be wr--
DAMN IT!
WAKA-WAKA. (Okay, you need to take a pill chill.)
First off, it's chill pill. Even excusing the fact you totally butchered that, that kind of urban terminology is something a GEN-XER has NO RIGHT to use!
Second? CHILL? AFTER FINALLY MANAGING TO PUT MY FIGHTING SKILLS TO THE TEST FOR AN INDESCRIMINATE BUT LIKELY LONG AMOUNT OF TIME!?
We'll probably be at each other's necks proverbial necks as soon as whatever has happened finished happening.
...Heh. You know what? Fine. Whatever.
Oh, and by the way... did you, by any chance, need these?
...!!!
This ain't endin' well.
You dare....
Oh? What's wrong boss? You can't take a joke?
...
Ohhhh crapcakes...
Hmph. Contrary to your arbitrary sense of fulfillment, I will not falter to your poor sense of humor. And on the subject on what I require...
I believe I already have the matter handled.
!!!!!!!!!!
Look, I know how it feels to be outdone. I've experienced plenty of defeats man. But at least you have some form of friends, or family. But my older brother... my... brother...
Hey, man. Listen. We don't know what happened to your brother. And we might not know how to relate to that experience, either... but if there's anything that you might need from us... we'll be here.
Yeah! You're one of us!
...Thanks guys. Glad to know that I at least have some form of older brother in you.
Eh?
What's going on with the fire star?
This.
This is beautiful.
Gag me with a spoon. Could you guys get any more cringeworthy?
...It's just occurred to me. Aside from Knack and his fight-fetish... Why do you guys even align yourselves with Shake King anyway?
Wario.
Wario...
Partially Wario.
...That's it. You guys just really don't like Wario.
That fat bastard tampered with all of my plans and destroyed my inventions! Granted, I was working with a clown with godlike powers THE POINT STILL STANDS!
He hijacked my television show, stole my sacred family treasure-- and guess what? I was fully ready to forgive him! In fact, for a while, I DID!
Until what?
UNTIL THAT MEDDLING MENACE MADE FUN OF MY MUMUMUSTACHE!
...
He also beat me in dozens of treasure-hunting competitions, but man! You don't make fun of a paisano's mustache!
I honestly don't even feel like asking what your deal is.
Okay, so I found myself in his apparent mansion, right?
Right. What did he do when you woke up?
Nothing. Though I did think it would be funny to enchant the entire world and all of it's treasures with evil spirits as a prank.
Honestly? I wouldn't even call it a grudge. I just feel like
ing around with him again.
...You know what? Forget it. You guys can share your magical friendship times. I've got a treadmill waitin' for me!
Alright then. Our turn to ask the questions!
Fine. Go on.
What made you all feel so obligated to help that capitalistic, greedy, mannerless, arrogant, foolish, mischievous, corrupt, fiend!?
