. 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, Joe Joe? What are you doing in my top secret military base?
Hmph!
My turn!
!
Aaaah...!
(He copied my style!?...)
Getting real tired of this back-and-forth!
Just save us both the trouble, kid. If you force us to stop holding back... we won't be able to guarantee the safety of your life.
...
He isn't forcing you to not leave, is he? So, why are you staying?
...So, let's see if I've got all this straight: Your plan was to get Iota and Kappa to help you find Shadow Digital... and their plan was to ask the Brash Crew?
Yeah...?
...And you couldn't just... Do that on your own?
Hey, I don't exactly know these people, especially not where they live. If I did, I would've gone straight to Shadow Digital's house!
And even then, there's not an exact guarantee that Shadow Digital would be home... Nor is there any guarantee any of the Brash Crew will even be at Doppler's Lab, let alone know where Shadow Digital lives.
...Still better than Ashura's initial plan of roaming around until he finds him, though.
Yeah, that's great and all, but if you guys wouldn't mind...
Yes, yes, that was pretty much all we needed to discuss, anyways, so I think it's about time we end this call-
...Well, good luck, guys.
...
...
...
Come on... beat em...
...Be careful with using any special attacks or anything like that. It can copy your abilities and use them against you.
Yeah... I found that out the hard way.
...
Hnn!
?...
!
Haaaah!
Wa-hey!
*BARK!* (Come on!)
!!!!
*HACK!*
NOT SO F*CKING FAST BUDDY BOY
So, you finally decided to show up after all.
Ghost, wait a second-!
Hey, watch it, you two!
Don't look at us, we were aiming at the Titan's weapons like you asked.
Then who...?
Missed me?
You...!
...Wait, who are you?
...You're kidding, right?
Nope. Fairly certain I don't know you, pal.
It's ME. Sargent Ghost?
...Nope. Don't remember you.
Doesn't ring any bells for me, either.
Come to think of it, haven't you only ever met Zeta Light and Collateral Aeon? Like, only once?*
...Hmph. I suppose I expected as much from you, Ghost...
...But the mere fact that you forgot about me is INSULTING... considering the fact that YOU are the reason I even EXIST.
What!? When did I ever create YOU?
...Hmph. How about this for a reminder then?
...Odd. There should've been a flashback...
...Back to the AJAX chat days? Uh, yeah, not happening, dude.
Yeah, the AJAX chat's been replaced by Discord a long time ago, man. You gotta let it go.
...Fine. I'll describe it to you.
Back when YOU were Mr. "Beta Man replaced me so I'm going to replace HIM", you sent Mr. "I'm a lost creature from another world so I can do whatever I want, so
everyone else"** some cryptic hints on your plans. And to warn him not to spoil it to anyone else, YOU created both me and Ninja Ghost... And THEN you cast us to the Void when you didn't need us anymore! Because we "had no purpose"!
Oh yeah, you did do that.
you, man.
Don't put yourself on a higher pedestal, JACK
.
Oh, what, because I'm neglectful, too?
Funny you should mention that.
H-hey-!
H-huh!?
Oh, yeah. She was here the whole time, actually. She was going to come out and confront Ninja Ghost after the Titan battle, buuuuut...
...Alright, I'll bite. Who this?
...Guess I've got not much of a choice right now.
My name is Lydian. I'm one of Ninja Ghost's creations... Before he left me behind, anyways. And right after my first battle, too...
...Hm.
It wasn't until I was brought out of the Void by someone who has escaped before that I am able to come back and give you a piece of my mind.
That so? In that case, wait your
turn in line!
Yeah... Because it's Trio's turn first. If that freak thinks he's going to carry out his plans here, he has another thing coming!
I don't think so, pal.
And why are you helping him? He wants to destroy the entire Omniverse!
Simple: If I can beat him single-handedly, I'll FINALLY earn my recognition!
Are you crazy!? He'll kill you for sure!
NO! I'm TIRED of people stepping on me! On ALL of us Sergeant Men! Every step of the way, you JERKS have nothing but DOUBT towards us! You think that we're WEAK! USELESS! You think we're just nothing more than third wheels who can't do ANYTHING right! And I'm sick of it!
For once, I just want people to recognize us as equal to you Beta Men and Ninja Men! That we can be MORE than useless third wheels! That when push comes to shove, we can handle ourselves! And I won't let entitled glory-hogs like you ruin it!
(Who's being entitled now?)
...It was you.
...?
Ever since that party*, I've been feeling this need... A voice started talking to me.

...You. You were that voice. You were trying to drag my focus into "proving myself!"
Obviously. And I do it because you're too insecure to do it yourself! You needed a push... Something to lead you down the path of recognition.
...No. I don't need that. A true soldier doesn't fight for recognition. They fight for the sake of the world.
And how do you expect to do that after being cast to the Void!? Face it: Unless you prove yourself, your reaper will deem you unnecessary and ABANDON you. It's happened before... And not just to me. And you would definitely not be the last, either.
So what? You're the one getting so caught up in that stuff.
Does that mean you intend to stop me?
...
...No. We have bigger problems to handle.
Okay, naivety, whatever. I'm more confused about the part about "blinding the world", I don't think that's how light usually-
What were you, born yesterday?
I don't care how many people try and figure out light, it's like clockwork that almost anyone who uses it gets drenched in it. Next thing they know, they're ready to destroy worlds.
Fine, darkness isn't perfect - those other Darksides are proof of that - but if the light's about to burn and blind someone, darkness can shield them with shade no problem. And if the light grows too heavy, well...
That's when darkness like me has to come in and put out the light.
Wait...no, I'm pretty sure brightness doesn't mean anything morally, but when they say it does, it's usually darkness that's the bad-
Well, that's just your pathetic light heart speaking.
Hearts don't have to do with anything!
I swear... that clown has absolutely no idea what he's doing! Ugh... hedgehogs I'm telling you... sometimes you want to drown them, but no. Due to WiLld waCkY cEeEpY pAstA MAstAh bull crap, they basically have a legion under their thumb they want to destroy for what I can assume, is for absolutely no reason! He has a perfectly good army right there, under his control, and then he basically wants to get rid of it all maybe! It's now no wonder why I have my own plans in case he fails, which is now starting to look more and more highly possible! Ugh... I need a f(@*in'... can o' motor oil...
