. 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.
Her behavior's been quite unusual, by boogity. Though I believe it's something that'd easier to understand if you all see for yourself.
As a matter of fact, she's likely in her room right now! You can come say hi to her!
...
Doesn't mean I can't commend a job well done, though.
Huh?
I believe what he's trying to say is that you're not out of the woods just yet.
Settle down. And that is far from what I meant.
Then what is it you mean?
Simply, that, you have one new opponent in the form of moi.
Who says I have to fight? If I remember, battles occur from both the coin holders' free will.
That may be true... but take a look at the crowd.
You have them excited. More people are going to bet on you because they take pride in you. Are you really going to give them up and let them down?
I missed the part where that's my problem.
Yes, yes... ...And I suppose I missed the part where you had a spine.
...
...uh, Meta Knight, issat...?
Sorry I couldn't come at a better time. Though I suppose with all that Beta Diablo trouble out of the way, this is the best time...
...if you were on your way back to Pop Star, I'm afraid I've got bad news.
MERE DAYS AGO, THREE ROBOT LIFEFORMS WERE MANIPULATING TIME ENERGY WITHIN THIS AREA.
Wait, who were they? What "time energy"?
IRRELEVANT. WHILE VARIOUS ANOMALIES FROM DISCARDED TIMELINES MANIFESTED FROM THEIR RECKLESSNESS, MOST DISAPPEARED AFTERWARD...EXCEPT FOR A SELECT FEW.
YOUR MISSION IS TO HARVEST THE LIMITED AND EXTREME WITHIN THEM, AND BRING IT BACK TO THE FORTRESS.
I AM SURE TWO OUT OF FIVE FRAGMENTS OF YOUR UNSTABLE MENTAL CONDITION CAN FIGURE OUT THE REST.
What did she...?
...
...
James Albertson Chordigan W-..
I see, James Chordigan. The Albert Wily of your universe has been an unpardonable tyrant.
So what shall be your last name, James Albertson Chordigan XVII?
I- Look, I have no idea what kind of bizarro British 18th century alternate me you're looking for, but my name is and always has been just CHORD. Nothing more, nothing less. Got it?
On second thought, go ahead. Walk away. As a matter of fact, I implore you do so. It's not as though you'll be worth much of anything without your Wonderful Whatevers.
(Keep it together, Will...)
...You're NOT going to be getting a rise out of me. I'm done. And I have more important things to attend to than waste my time with a meaningless fight.
Meaningless....?
(I'm still kinda getting used to this... But even then, it's obvious what's going to happen if you don't surrender and tell us who you are.)
...Hmmh. No room for amusement, is there? Oh, well.
...I suppose this is where you all try to goad me into answering your questions.
Is... that a talking gemstone?
*ROAR* (What, you're taken aback? By this?)
Good point.
Yeah, 'bout that... My answer is gonna hafta be a resounding nuh-uh.
But we didn't even say anything to you yet!!
I know. And that ain't fair. But I don't want to hear anything you guys have to say. 'Cause I'm done being some bad-guy punk.
I was promised I'd get my old position at Yo'ster Isle back. How'd that go? I was assured I'd feel stronger than ever. I got the wind knocked out of me by a green glove-spiked freak.
What you guys are gonna do is try to lure me in so I can help you in case things end up goin' south. You don't care what's in it for me! You just want to drag me down with you guys so that when the goody-two-shoes heroes come rearin' their heads around, I'LL be caught in the center with you!...
...All in all, I know who I am. I know what I want. I know why I want it. And I know how I'm gonna get it... And it won't be with any of YOU.
...I see. Then the next time we cross paths... we will be mortal enemies.
"Ooooo, I'm soOoOOoOo scared!" Like heck I am. You and your stupid Koopa King can kiss my rear.
Also don't take any of what I said personally. Please don't revoke the speak-in-intelligible-language spell you cast on me, I actually do appreciate it.
...Say, what happened to Jr.?
Didn't you send him to "take out the trash"? It's been awfully long since then. Allow me...
OH MY WORD!
WHAT!?
...The Elite Trio have finally returned.
...Hmph. It's about time.
Waluigi's just saying, that's kinda sus.
I'm serious, Waluigi! The entire reason we're in this dill pickle is because I didn't finish the job on Shake King!
If that Mercenary comes back for our heads, what's to say he won't use his blood money to become some kinda cyborg after we pound him? Or, or some kinda robot-monster!?
Well when ya put it like that, maybe our eternal battle with taxes wouldn't need to be so eternal at all.
Gnah, maybe we could keep them alive. And I ain't interested in wiping the floor with some Spearhead, either. But when push comes to shove...
Hey, Wario. You said earlier we were goin' to a haunted mansion, right?
What 'about it?
On a scale 'a one to ten, how 'Haunted' would you determine the mansion in front of us?
...That's the one, Waluigi. That's the one.
*smack*... Ahhh. In all of my years, I've never tasted a herbal tea as good as this one...
...Mostly because I've never had any until now. But in it's own way, that's good! It makes you the standard!
Stop dawdling. If you're here to do some nefarious scheme, go ahead. It's pretty obvious you're the reason none of my magic spells work anymore.
Yes, about that... well, you seeeeee.... I'll be needing my hands on any magic power I can get.
Then you already have what you want. Leave me out of--
Why I need so much magic, you ask? It's a funny story, but, if you wish to know, I'm sure I can humor you... so a guy with a halo comes around and--
...
...Oop! That's all the time we have for today! I'll just... leave... Aw, that's-- that's kinda awkward because I was gonna go through the front door, but that's where those two silly geese are waiting for you. So, like-- do you have a back door or something? Because I do--
Leave. NOW.
...
...And sign the guest book before you go.
...*sigh*...
There. Sheesh. And I was beginning to think you were cool! I'm totally writing "high-strung" on your page!
...
...*groan*
Why do you keep ringing the doorbell?
Sometimes she doesn't respond to get you to think she isn't there... Which would be effective.... If she actually had a life.
Wario! Wario's brother or something! I didn't think you two would ever come back so soon! Please, come in!
Huh! Guess the runt ain't as bad as you were talkin' about, Wario!
...Wario?
(She actually invited us in rather than just walking away, or slamming the door in our face. Usually when she wants someone to come in, she'll say nothing but keep the door open and turn her back on us without any sort of greeting or regard for my well-being..)
(This is most definitely some kind of trickery at work. No Zoomer would naturally act this kind. It's likely that little shapeshifter Demon pet of hers has shapeshifted into her... Or perhaps that's what she wants me to think that so I'll let my guard around her. No matter what, the utmost constant is that I keep my guard up at all times.)
(Waluigi? Unreliable. He doesn't have a clue about what might be going on. If I try to save him, he'll be nothing but a liability to my safety. I can't take that risk without some immense luck, which I would rather not rely on in a situation such as this one. nonetheless, I have to make sure he's beside me so that No matter what I have a meatshield in case of emergency.)
(As much as an idiot as that bumbling clown can be, nobody-- not even he himself realizes how much intellect he actually caries with him There's no doubt that last stint mine is turning the gears in whatever he has that's supposed to qualify as a brain. He's probably trying to adapt and figure me out this instant without trying to look suspicious.... but it's too late.)
Are you going to come in or not?
Yeah, whatever!
Hey, watch it!
(He went in second. Under normal circumstances he'll throw a temper tantrum if he's not the first inside a building... He's testing the waters for traps.)
(No traps or setups plain sight, obviously. Nothing suspicious to my left... no horrid nightmare ghouls to my right... no zombies above me, and nothing down....so the trap must be...)
Right behind you.
!
Uh...
(Oh, yeah. That Vaati guy stole all my magic power.)
They were but cannon fodder.
WELL DONE. WITH YOUR ACTIONS, OUR RESERVES OF EXCESS LIMITED AND EXTREME HAVE GROWN.
Indeed. It may take but a week for the Evolve Fighters to truly be prepared.
OH, SO LITTLE TIME! ALMOST NO TIME AT ALL!
Windaz, I must say, you are a valuable resource.
Hey, Rika! Glad ya could make it!
Uh...do I know you?
Prob'ly not. But I know you. Frankly, I'd have gotten t' ya sooner, but some maid flew by a couple days back to sort somethin' out*. She's in the caves now for some reason†, but...
Ahgh, I'm getting off-topic. Point being, I've heard a word or two that you've been working on something...
...and I wanna make a deal!
