. 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.
let's see... Flash...melancholy...sleep...stone...bezerk...Valkyrie...is that a marshmello on a stick?
MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE
What!?
Leave this alone, man. This isn't the guy who's put you on this path.
...Should I care? He's the same. So he should die. They should all die. It's simple as that.
Not that I'd listen to you in the first place. What makes you think I'm willing to cooperate and drop the subject to your whim?
...No.... You have a point.
Now that's more like it! I thought we'd never--
Ugh..!
I've locked his joints. He won't be able to move for a little while.
WOW. THAT'S NOT CONTRIVED.
It really isn't, I could do this before.
Why the hell did things have to go like this?
In any case, I guess I owe you guys my thanks.
(It's no problem.)
Hey... The child's stopped now. C'mon...
...
I hope you're not about to tell me we're going to wait until he snaps out of his manchild moon swing.
Far from it.
You hear that? Whether or not you stay here can only be the concern of yours. It's your life. But that also means only you're responsible for your actions.
I used to think the same way as you. I saw kindness as another form of weakness. But whether it is or not is only up to one person.
And if you think one of us here have time and luxury to be that one person for you and give you that lecture you're missing... you're dead wrong. Everyone. Time to move out.
...
Alright, then. What's the plan now, Ace? Some run-off-the-mill training to juice your systems into high gear?
You aside-- training our physical bodies will take too long and waste too much time. And we're robots. Our bodies have natural limits that conditioning them through physical labor will not absolve.
Of course, that's not to say we can't push past those limits with our own choosing.
What're you proposing?
Simply put, that any natural weaknesses we have can be bypassed with a little bit of manual upgrading and a little bit of programming. It's cheap, but Vaati's entire charade worked because of how cheap it is. And at that, I've been meaning to get some things changed.
...You know what? I'm at my limit. How is it that you happen to find an answer for all of this so far?
...To tell you the truth, this is a new power of mine. Instant Cognition, I'm calling it. I haven't tested it's limits to the fullest, but thinking a question automatically gives me the answer as I please.
It happened while I was out. I wanted to know why I couldn't control myself, why this was all happening-- click. Initially I thought these were the results of my own intuition and deducive reasoning... but that's far too unlikely.
What's the meaning of life?
If you need to ask or be told the meaning to life, life is meaningless. The answer lies in whatever you see fit.
....Wait, is that your answer or the In--
It doesn't matter. Especially since I won't be using it to "gain the ultimate power" or something like that... because to be clear...
...Our priority will be to avenge Anthem first and foremost. Nothing more, nothing less... until we've dealt with the threat at hand.
(Why not find a way to revive him?)
Because, son, it's not our place to decide who is and isn't worthy of life. Just of death.
I had upgrade chambers installed while we went to stop Delta. The Watch Center's systems automatically scan you with automated improvements based on your A.I. system and it's judgement.
...
You want to try it.
Go cluck yourself.
...I mean, maybe it didn't matter who I asked...but I still did ask you, didn't I?
Maybe Sese won't find more bones for a while. But I wasn't too worried about who I'd need anyway.
...huh?
If I wanted to keep finding bones on my own, I'd have just given you your baton back and left. I just wanted a bit of help, and, well...you gave me a lot of it.
We worked together with finding the right spots, doing the digging, keeping each other from getting in trouble when we picked a place where an angry person was...
Sese knows a lot of people who don't take them seriously. But you did, and you were being kind of a friend, too!
...I was?
Well, yeah! Sometimes you wanted me to do a thing like give you something to dig with or hurry up, but...it was a lot of bones, so it makes sense.
It doesn't have to be just bone-digging. We can be friends whenever!
...
...sure. I just hope I can be a better friend.
Greetings, your majesty, whatever part of the world you rule under! Boy, I don't think you've been this up and about since your old man told you to*...
Anyway, I heard you're looking for something that...nobody really knows the location of, to be honest. Luckily, I did some looking for you...
...and I suppose now when someone says "nobody", they mean me!
Hey Martin! How's this for a war trophy?
That's...that's nice.
Bah. I can tell you don't like it.
Crystal Man's stage...got it. Thank you.
Oh! Since you gave me some info, do you need info any yourself? It only seems right.
That's fine. Anything to get out of this conservation.
Woah!
Superheroes!
Yea! Go get them!
I wish I could be like that. Going on adventures, meeting new people, having to balance the life of a superhero and a regular girl...
But...here I am with this dumb stick grabbing any useless trash I can find from within these bigger piles of trash.
*sigh*Mr. Osin's right. I've got to get my head out of the clo-AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!*oof!*
Wha-what?
...
Okay, don't scream. Just slowly back up Clover.
...
...
Ah, good memo-
Thank you sir.
Now we only need one item left. Snipe Joey, where the Crystal Eye is?
Uhh, which one?
(This dimension does have some ups and downs, but I don't want their world to have the same fate just like ours.)
Man, I never realize this place being so huge! It gonna take hours just to find them!
(I know these things are different from those from this dimension, but...)
(...I don't know if the people from this dimension can handle these.)
Bah! about time you lot showed up! I've be-The rest of the teams been worried sick about you three!
As much as this is a wonderful reunion, I'm afraid the pleasantries will have to wait, Originally this was a note from the summoner, But then we used it to try and get some recon on King's allies, but i think that wouldn't be useful anymore, seeing as the fortress has been breached. As such, here's the note for the leader of the team.
Or at least, the second in command seeing that Tailtiu isn't here
When did...?
You appear unannounced. Do nothing but watch until it's convenient for you. And you expect anyone to "move" to let you do as you please.
Trust me when I say that you'd better hurry up and read the room before something bad happens.
*sips his orange juice carton as Wario and co. are fighting off Alphanoid*
Foolish of you to mistake my refreshment for an opportunity.
Oh yeah! Now's our chance! Hey, kid!
(...He looks kinda familiar...)
HEY!
Oh yeah, that thing. Uhh... whatever caaan we dooooo...
I'm getting-a-large energy readings from it's core. If we find a way to destroy it, it's likely the-a-machine'll go with it!
WAKA-WAK WAK. (How about that.)
Man look at this place, looks like the plan for reviving this evil isn't the only problem this dimension is facing.
I must find recruits quickly before something worse happen.
You sure that some Aztec temple have the Crystal Eye.
Well then, lets retrieve it before they find out.
Gnah!
HERE'S WHAT I THINK 'A YOUR EMPIRE!
Nohoho! How'd the ashes suit ya?
They certainly suited ol' King just fine!
Say, hate to intrude on business choices, but why'd you have burnt herbs on you?
...I've been wonderin' that myself...
