. 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.
Hey, Orange, look! Twenty of them! I don't even think I've seen all of these before, but I know they're mine!
Mm.
...do you want us to keep looking? Sese can do it themselves for a bit if you need to-
No. We're both gonna find you another good spot.
(With just a few of those spirits...that's gotta be what they look like with more bones, isn't it?)
(That wasn't even from how many bones they needed, and they still did...that to the weird guy at the maze?)
(If they ever look like that with their own bones, they'll probably be really really strong. Like Gilgamesh or Meta Knight or something.)
(And then they won't need me anymore, because they won't need any help fighting.)
(So much for actually mattering to someone...)
...Dyna?
You were wrong, Volt. We haven't been taking each other for granted. It's only been me.
...what do you mean? You've helped us before. I didn't do anything to help Sonic Man, either.
Volt, think back on things. On everything.
For a whole year, I've been doing nothing but living one big dumb power fantasy. I've never leaped into an incident for anything but a fight.
I'm a selfish asshole. I don't deserve the Crew, I don't deserve you or Sonic Man...I didn't deserve this life.
Dyna? Volt?
...
...So, it's you. What could you possibly want with me?
Eh, not much. Just wanted to know where you ended up.
And now you know. So, unless you have something to say that's actually worth my time, you can go on your way.
Ah, I see. You're just here to brood. Well, Mr. Grump, you can feel free to join with Sonic and the others over at Tails' Lab when you're done being edgy.
Hilarious. And why exactly are you not with them?
...
Oh, hey! How's it going with you? Have you been doing alri-
Tell him.
...Huh? What do you mean by-
Do not play coy with me, hedgehog. He deserves to know. And it needs to come from YOU before it could come from anyone with ill intent. A certain C-O-D-A, for example.
...
...I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm just not comfortable with-
I. Don't. Give. A.
. He's going to find out one way or another. Might as well do so in a manner where he couldn't possibly view you in a negative light.
...I... I don't know. I'm not sure how he'll rea-
You want him to trust you, right? What you did just about TRAUMATIZED him. And I KNOW it was nothing more than a freak accident. But anyone else that could've possibly known about it might not put you in a good light. And how could even HE trust ANYONE who would simply leave him in the dark about something this vital?
...
...
...I'll give you until the end of tomorrow. If you don't tell Shadow Digital a SINGLE thing about what happened in Wood Zone... I will MAKE you.
...There's... Something important I need to do. I'm just taking my time to mentally prepare myself for it.
Besides... I don't exactly feel comfortable trying to pry into any sort-of friend groups of Sonic's. It just feels... Awkward.
...Hmph. But, of course. I'm sure it's hard to try and make friends with alternate versions of your own friends.
H-huh!? How did you know I was-
Please. Anyone with half a brain could tell you're just another Sonic this world dragged in. You hardly do anything to hide it.
...
...Tch, whatever. If you're not here to help, then just get out of my way.
Fine, fine. I'll let you return to your edgy brooding with possibly edgier inner monologue.
...
...Dense idiots. ALL of you.
Huh!?
You all keep on with your celebration over defeating Beta Diablo, proud with having saved the world... For what might as well have been ten seconds of peace.
But you all forgot something vitally important. Someone who STILL poses as a threat.
...Coda?
KOOPENSTEIN, you imbecile! We might've taken care of Beta Diablo and at least hindered Team Mecha- Because face it, we BOTH know they won't be gone for good*- and Coda might as well be easy pickings. But Koopenstein and his "Sometal"** are still active threats.
And if all you are going to do is waste around waiting for him- or someone ELSE, for that matter- to strike again, then I am clearly wasting my time with the lot of you.
...Koopenstein tried to upset the balance of Chaos energies before***. He may still plan on endangering the entire world again... Or worse.
...
...I think I understand what you mean... But I don't think you're likely to find him anywhere around here.
...If you're not here to help, then you are serving merely as a distraction. Do so again, and you'll have OTHER things to worry about then psyching yourself up.
...Gee, what a spoil sport...
Ok... I think I can calm down for now... kind of... but the fact that I kind of look like him scares me... especially after... a-after...

So you're sure this is a good idea? 'Cause I'm having second thoughts.
Maybe have a third, or a fourth. Because we have questions, and Tinker Knight says this is where the answers lie.
...pretty sure the fourth would just be the second again, 'cause it was a yes/no-
Oh my head...
I got a report from King that he already got a light elf magic.
He said to now look for 3 1-Ups Mushrooms.
How many exits does this place needs!? How are we gonna find your light elf friend like this?
Ah motor oil, this is bad.
Yeah, King is one step closer of reviving that Beta Devil thing!
I'm not so sure you lost all of it... Max! The Nutri-Specs!
Really!? A'ight! Less do dis!
Alright lets see... Mirabilis... now with 15% less magic!
Fif-fifthteen percent? oh dear... this isn't good...
This king thinks its ok to send his goons after my close ally? HE IS INCORRECT! I,narcian,the great leader of our team, will destroy this horrid bucket of bolts!
your not even the captain of this team...
So wait, Ms. Light Elf, who stole your magic? What does he or she look like?
Finally, I have the first out of seven items I need to revive Beta Devil, and it's all thanks to you good sir.
