. 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.

Augh! 
Amateurs. I've wasted my time fighting the likes of you. It's clear there's nothing worth facing in the eyes of your lack thereof resolve.
What'd you say!?
Only that the both of your attacks are worthless without the drive of Killing Intent put behind them.
Oh yeh!? And whyd'ya figure we'd need that!?
Fools.
(Teleportation?... Or is he somehow stopping time?...)
...
Your naive hearts have done nothing but hinder that potential hidden inside you. It slows your movements, it softens your punches... and it is for THOSE reasons which you two will DIE.
...
In your eyes I see a high aptitude for hatred... but it seems you've long since mellowed this spirit by surrounding yourself with peaceful souls to accomodate. A disappointment.
SHADDUP!
WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!
Get offa him, you louse!
Thanks for the help. Have fun.
Digital, I wanted to help people who didn't have as easy access to some form of training as your group.
Yep. And then next thing we knew, Joyous Tower was a lot more crowded, and we had to start dealing with Anti-Omni versions of two guys who hate losing.
How are all 60 points Beta Diablo-based futures, anyway? Did you seriously nab this from some sort of Beta Devil preparation team or something?
...it was from my old world. I know I haven't said much more than what happened after the Black Arms invasion, but-
What even is this thing on the top, anyw-
...
Digit, why are you still here?
NONONONONO STOP THE TITLE CARD
...
...
...okay, I was messing with it a little too much. But now I'm even more worried about this...thingy.
...
...none of them can hurt us anymore, I guess.
Part of me wishes I could see them again just so I could hurt them one last time...
...
...Dyna?
Yeah?
...do you think we've been taking each other for granted?
...
Like, I care about Kogasa, Gilgamesh, and all the others, too...but there's a reason Sonic Man and I came with you, isn't there?
We're supposed to be brothers, we're supposed to have each other's backs...but we didn't have Sonic's back.
...
Of course, I don't take wastes of my time kindly... so you'll have to pay in other ways beside death.
WAAAAAAH! WALUIGI'S WAAAAHNDERFUL MANICURE!
I mean, I still kill the both of you. Obviously. It's just going to be a lot more excruciating.
THAT'S IT, YOU BASTARD! YOU LET HIM GO, OR I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!
Make me pay...? That would be a more exciting change of pace, to be honest.
WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHI'mkindausedtoitactually. Eh.
NOW THAT'S THE LAST NERVE! GET READY TO EAT CHEESEBURGERS THROUGH A STRAW!
Didn't I warn you already? Your caring heart makes your movements far too dull--
WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! CHOMP ATTACK!
Argh!
SHOULDER BASH!
PILEDRIVER!
HNGH!
BUTT-SMASH!
Hey, didn't you hear I got the screen set up? You just gotta click a few buttons on the wrist device and-
...look, tanks don't have "extended warranties", so-
...?
Where...is anyone?
...Alright, this should be the last of it. Just one more thing...
...Does Dr. Doppler even use Zenny?
I mean, it's apparently present in Command Mission*, so maybe?
THE LAST OF THE SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN PACKED UP, SIR.
Ah, good. Gentlemen, to the HQ.
Whew... That took longer than I'd like. But, at least it's over, for now...
Still... Where on Earth did these come from? I thought we dealt with the Nightmare Phenomenon...
I can't say I know for sure... But I have a bit of a theory.
You remember who first created the virus, right?
Gate, right? He turned insane after scanning your DNA and becoming corrupted by it... What about him?
...If there is but one person we can think of who could be responsible of all this damage, AND have used the Nightmare Phenomenon? ...I think only one person could possibly come to mind.
H-huh? Are you sure... Even if it could be Gate... If Alia truly repaired him**, then-
Who's to say it's the same Gate as the one we brought back to base? Even if we weren't to assume that Gate was repaired, and still went Maverick again... Who's to say that the Gate who was already Maverick couldn't return somehow?
...I don't know... This guess of yours sounds completely impossible...
...Something tells me that whatever's going on in this world doesn't care about what is or isn't impossible.
...Either way, we won't know for sure unless we make an attempt at looking further into it... Preferably before the next attack can begin.
Ok, so from what I know, those things were for some reason carrying Himmel and Berg's batteries*... since friggin when?
YOU DARE to lay your grubby fingers on me!?
Newsflash, bub. I don't hafta kill anyone.... but what I WILL do is make ya wish you were six feet UNDER!
Really!? I was taking it easy, but I think I'll enjoy reducing your bodies to a pile of smothering ash!
I'll take you both on! Get ready to die--
......You're calling me in the worst time possible. Seriously. You're cramping my style.
*buzz*
...You're the mastermind criminal organization, why do you need my assistance so much? Relying so much on others only proves your worthlessness.
*buzz*
......HOW much Ƶ?
....Is this guy serious?
Waluigi was about to ask the same thing.
...You know, perhaps iX is onto something... If we take some of the parts to the base to analyze them, perhaps we could be able to find something.
Right. Let's take what we can and head back to base.
...Well, everything seems to-a be normal...
Well, the-a LAST time things seemed normal when we believed it was in danger, the-a Koopalings attacked**. We shouldn't let our-a guards down.
...It seems in the end, your circuitry will be your weakness. I've found a way around your attacks, machine.
...
(Hah! An obvious bluff.)
...
Your attacks are too linear. Too predictable. Any move you pull, I can see through it.
Woah... He's doin' a better job at fightin' than Wave was!
Okay, you did not need to bring me up there.
...?
Look, Wondergal, I know we don't know each other-
Call me Alice. But go on.
...but there's something I wanna know, and I think you wanna know it too.
I know it sounds like I'm trying some forbidden fruit garbage, but I'm really not. Apples taste better dipped in caramel anyway.
So, you remember the stuff about that freakzone in there, but you remember stuff about growing up as just a human gal, right?
I wish I didn't, but I do.
I'm in the same boat. I'm not entirely sure where I was, but whenever I think back to Lyla's Ruins I can't remember my sweet tooth, but whenever I think about that, Lylat Ruins is like a blank in my head.
Good news is, I was doing some slinking around, and I found a weird trail. Makes my head kinda feel like when I first remembered the Ruins. Maybe we'll find something there!
...well, that sounds like a long shot; a dangerous one, even...
...so I don't see why not to look!
...?!
In fact, maybe you could benefit some others I know as well.
Hmm-hm-h-
Ho-
Chordigan, yes?
I see.
Just in time, too. So I figure I owe you our gratitude.
Anything else, Jevil?
