. 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.
(visible confusion)
Alright, I'll be there in an hour. Assassin's honor.
Hmph. It seems you two have lucked out for now. But mark my words, the next time I find the two of y--

.......
(I wonder how Shen's doing...)

Really!? Awesome! Does this mean soon I'll be good enough to take down Alastor!?

Oh yeah! That reminds me!
The inner peace thing. You can use it, right?
Woah! So that's why I can never hit you with a surprise attack! But why don't I ever get some kinda sense or feeling of it from you...?





Well, that sounds kinda boring.

What a damn waste 'a time!
Yeh! We were supposed to visit that darned Haunted Mansion or whatever! Wario still remembers what street it's on, right!?
Like I remember the bite 'a '87! I'll lead the way! Right now, we gotta get a move on!
....Say Wario, that guy we were fighting... he claimed to be an assassin, right? What if he really was hired by someone to kill us!?
Well, if we really do end up meeting the assing ass again, we'll have to beat that answer outta him.......but...
...Maybe... maybe he was right.
Eh? 'bout what!?
The... the killing thing. If what that wacko said was true, then it'd be a lot easier to get stronger faster... and it would stop the problem of our sworn enemies coming back.
That creep we met back on the ship. He acted like I was holding back on Wario-Man because I was... scared. Scared 'a pulling the trigger on someone else. Scared 'a turning back into an apparition. So perhaps... perhaps maybe we shouldn't be lettin' our enemies off the hook so easily.
...
: Woah, what happened here? Someone having a major hissyfit over getting screwed over some winnings or somthin'? Ha hah hah hah hah!
I've no idea what a "reaper bot" is, but I prefer not to ask.
Well, I go by many names... "Phoenix", "Ho-Oh", "Hoo-oo"...*
But you may call me, "Feng Huang".
And here I thought you didn't care about working with the commoners.
Characters. Of whom you and I fall no less under the label. My old job was simply using all I could in my position to prevent others from entering stalemates.
And keep the "story" going, of course. Remind me how that matters?
You know what happened to worlds like Headdy's†. I know you're none too happy about your end of the concept‡, but a world without conflict is as good as dead.
I understand not everyone agrees on what kind of eternity is worth fighting for, but I for one at least want to prevent roadblocks for those who are otherwise content with what's ongoing.
Then why are you still sticking with the ring that's making you weaker? Come to think of it, why does the Ring of Balance make you weaker?
...the ring unlocked its powers just as Regulus was about to strike. My greater position - "Plot Police", as people have come to call it - was unfit for assistance.
Perhaps if it was any other time, it would've strenthened my "greater" skills instead. But what the world needed was another warrior, so that's what I was entrusted with.
And honestly...I feel it's better this way. Not long after Beta Diablo first made himself known, most of the Reapers found another place to be unified, and...discordant as it seemed on the surface, it allowed them to communicate what they wanted from each other and their creations with little wait§. Which, in turn, left my greater powers with less need to be used.
So I will be taking a rest. Maybe I'll fill the role of a special challenger as you and the other two of us have.
So you're joining the secret boss business?
...put simply, I suppose I am.
...there's not much here.
PERHAPS, PERHAPS! BUT IT'S ONLY BEGUN!
WITH TIME, OUR BASE OF OPERATIONS WILL ADVANCE. AND SO WILL YOU.
You see, Windaz, right now you may be lost without a proper host...
But as one of us, you'll gain control like you've never imagined.
(It doesn't make sense... I should've absorbed enough of his strength to be dozens of times stronger than him in his current state.... and yet, to be at this level of power... just how much stronger is he getting every second?)
...Heh. Not bad. You were able to mitigate the full brunt of my attacks by turning your body. In that case...
(Why'd he turn his back to me!?)
I'VE GOT YOU NOW, DUMBASS! AHAHAHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAH! AHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAHAH!
(We need to stop him.)
Most definitely.
If you don't budge, we'll go through you by fo wait a second, did you just... agree?
I know, okay? It'd be pretty f'd up if I used this chance to try and hurt all of you. Look, man, I have standards.
Coulda fooled me.
Well I'll be. The grey guy does look strong, sure, but he'll never, not in a hundred years, beat me!
Doesn't mean that he's worthy of my time though. Not even the guy he's straight up murderin'.
I knew this place was full of arrogant lowlives, but this is ridiculous. After I get back to HQ, we'll have to do something about this place.
As for you... I think it's time that you learn to give strangers your respect. And I know just how to teach you.
...Cut the outside battle.
CUT IT! People are paying to see worthwile fights, not freak shows!
...Nothing seems too far out of the ordinary...
I don't know... Something in my gut's telling me that something's wrong...
How do we know that strange, purple man wasn't messing with us?
...
...His powers are-a no joke. Everything that happened in that vision, down to the-a wind running through my-a 'stache, felt completely REAL. So I-a think that we should take his word that something is- or-a soon will be- going down.
...But first and-a foremost... We should try to-a find the Princess.
Oh, you're running from those, too, huh? Yeah, corrupt cops are the worst.
Should he even be allowed in here!?

...W-well... I can't say I haven't had close encounters with crazy killers before... (At least they aren't trying to kill me or beat me in a rap battle... yet.)


Just call me Yoyo! Anyways, I'll just grab a cheese pizza, large soda, and some of those cinnamon bite things.
My business here should qualify as none of your concern. YOURS, on the other hand...
If not me, you would've attacked a completely innocent bystander. Call it what you want, but I'm not so keen on letting someone who has no qualms with assaulting random passersby go.
It's clear you're nothing but a potential danger to everyone around you. Surrender, or I'll be forced use other means.
.....Same here... Don't expect me to pull any of my punches.
I said, GIMME THE DAMN MIC!...... *sigh...* things just haven't been the same without Commando.
......After a bout gone haywire, it looks like two new competitors have finally entered! Black Bravoman vs Wonder-Red! Get ready to place some bets, folks!
