. 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.
What do you mean? Tomatos have seeds in them. That's why they're known as fruits.
That ain't what they said. Somethin's wrong with you.
Oh. Well... I'm not worried. I heal quickly, right? So I'll probably be back to normal on our way!
I... should probably ask if you want to come.
WHY!
I just feel like it.
Ya stupid little...I'm gonna get a turn one way or another!!
Oh dear...that's your fiftieth loss in a row, out of fifty matches.
I swear you're just counting to spite me.
And I swear otherwise! Here at Muppet Labs, we take records very seriously, be they victories or losses. Why, it took twenty to thirty tries to ensure the Quintissential Cyborg Fighter wasn't lethal to the average citizen!
Look, I've seen folks who can sweep the floor with me after their cloud-shaped brain actually puts together they're not a frog*, I've met weird hell ladies who go from getting knocked out by pinballs to tanking giant ice lasers no problem†...for some reason people are able to just figure this stuff out, and in 25 years‡ I've discovered jack squat!!
Tell me what I'm doing wrong. Now.
...well, one's flaws in specific combat can vary depending on the mindset of the mentor and the fighting style...
...but if we want to look at this simply, I think I have a solution!
Gh...
...hey, are you okay?
Hey, I wonder what's going on over there?
Fine. Picky.
HAHAHAHA! I'M AFRAID IT'S TOO LATE NOW, JELLY-CLAD STRANGER! ONE MUST ALWAYS SEEK THEIR PRINCIPLES THROUGH IF THEY WISH TO BECOME A RIGHTEOUS HERO!
Perfect... I will order my remaining outside forces to pick them before arrival.
RIDER CALLED YOU A PERSON MADE OF JELLY! I CALLED YOU A JELLY-CLAD STRANGER! EVEN IF I HAD KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR NAME THE BLAME GOES TO HER, NOT ME!
I should put myself for adoption.. Or an auction... Or find SOME kinda way to quit bein' a bodysharer to a MORON!
BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME ANY NORMAL PERSON WOULDN'T GO INSANE FROM YOUR PRESENCE! THOUGH I WONDER WHAT ABILITIES WE WOULD GET FROM EATING JELLY JIGGLER'S SOUL...
ENTITIES APPROACHING AT RE-ENTRY SPEED.
Enhance Barrier Resistance to level .5 on the Richter scale.
BARRIER ENHANCED.
GREETINGS, MR. SCALE FROM THAT ONE BOARD MEETING. I AM AWARE YOU HAD SPACE ISSUES!?
Uh....
IN THAT CASE, NEVER FEAR...
...BECAUSE I AM HERE!
(Is... this really the same guy from before? He's so... weird...)
WHAT'S WRONG, YOUNG SCALE? YOU SEEM A BIT... TONGUE TIED--!
Hey, are you...?
N-no, I'm good. I've just... never... held an impression for that long.
I know. It's out of line for me to act like this. What's the problem?
Clown Man, what are you looking at?
I'm looking at that strange woman and that weird figure.
Well who or whatever they are, we should check them out.
You got it buddy!
Try not to startle them, we don't know if their friendly or not...
Okay-dokey!
...why did you help me?
Well, you weren't acting like you'd be hostile back there, so you just looked like you needed help.
That's why I've been letting those two hang out upstairs while Dad helps out some of our friends†; they're a little confused, but they haven't threatened anyone.
(...why, though? Isn't injury just a sign of failure?)
Oh, one more thing!
You don't have one of these, do you?
...no.
Well, it's really going to help you stay together. Here!
...I, uh...have no clue how to be thankful?
You're welcome! You can find your way back, right?
...yes. Maybe I'll see you later?
Well, you know where to find me!
...
HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! HU--
!?
...
(Maybe I shoulda invested more 'a those stat points into somethin' other than speed...)
