. 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.
...GRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! KILL YOU GOOD AND DEAD!
!!?
!!?
At last. I have finally found you, foul demon. Your days are numbered. Prepare yourself for the last of your deathly terrors...
...For
will cleanse this earth of your sake forever.
HNH.... DIE, YOUWILLDIEYOUWILL DIE DIE DIE, I WILL KILL YOU.
Nay, adversary. On this day, it will be you which faces destruction.
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
...





...up. Come on, you ...et up! You can't give up now!
...Shadow Chomper?
It's me, alright! Are you alright?
Yeah, kinda. I did get the ever-loving tar out of-
...Wait! How did you get here? And... Where is everyone else?
...
...I'm sorry. Everyone... That entire world... it's all gone. Destroyed by an outside force far beyond our ability to prevent.
E-even Darkness...? Light Swallower...?
Gone.
...Sonic?
Before it all happened, he sensed a disturbance and just... ran away without saying a word. I don't think it's likely he survived, though...
What about you, though? How did you survive?
I didn't. I am here as a part of your subconscious. A sort-of... guiding spirit, I suppose you could say.
So, that's it, then? I'm the only one of us who's left... A fact that's about to change here soon...
Don't give up now! You can still beat him!
How? That guy is far more powerful than I am.
Maybe not the way you are now. But great potential and power still lays dormant within you.
Maybe it wasn't noticeable before, but if you just focus, you can find it. Your true potent power... The power of a Reaper.
You think that I'm the "Reaper" that this guy's henchmen were talking about...?
I just know it. It just feels like destiny, doesn't it? And it's calling you. It's calling you to unleash the residual power within. You can do this. Just believe in yourself.
...
...


...
...Believe it, Heeta. I have become the one thing you FEAR. This fight had led me to awaken the latent power within my heart. I am Bt1229... And I am a REAPER!
...Yeahhh, don't say it. I've been meaning to change it at some point, anyways.


Not happening, frick off!
Now, then, take THIS! Element Blast!
...Huh. I thought for sure there'd be a part where he destroys the planet... Oh, well.
Wow, you were very cool out there!
Hm?
Hey, there! I saw you fight, and I gotta say, you were a natural!
Thanks! ...Say, aren't you the guy Shrek killed?
Yep. But thanks you you, I'm alive again!
I should introduce myself. I go by the name CutManIsAwesome*, but you can just call me CMIA. I was out here exploring the planet when all of this went down, and I guess I bit off more than I can chew trying to protect these Kemanians...
Well, it's certainly nice to meet you.
Bt1229, huh? I guess you're new to the MMRPG Community, then?
MMRPG...?
It's short for Mega Man RPG Prototype. It's this super-cool RPG game created by Adrian Marceau. It's super cool because you can play as Cut Man! He's my favorite, if you couldn't tell.
I can see that... Mega Man, huh? That's the game with the blue robot with an arm cannon, right? I've been gaining a growing interest in the franchise recently...
Well, you came to a good place to grow that interest even further!
...Actually, if we can just find the spaceship I used to get here, I could show you a good place to meet other people. I'm about done with this place, anyways... Dying has kinda tampered with my interest in it.
Alright, sure, lead the way.
Huh! That took-a-faster than I thought!
So, about the-a-uncontrollable random bursts of speed you've-a-been experiencing...
I... I don't know how to-a-tell you this...
Oh, just give it to me-a-straight! I'm-a-sure it's nothin' too problematic.
...When you ran against Shake King, you-a-ran fast. Faster than-a-any time you've ever raced without some sort of external power source.
...
You-a-claimed you were trying as hard as possible-a-not to tear apart the fabric of space-time. But I have-a-reason to believe in doing so, you dug into a source of-a-power even deeper... one that is beyond the walls of the universe. This would-a-explain why you could also do things you-a-normally couldn't.
What's it-a-gonna do?
...It's been-a-tampering with your speed. Making you slow down or-a-speed up during certain times. But with practice, you'll-a-be able to control it. But the downside...
?
It's... it's-a-super-charging your body, amplifying the molecules that make you you with a strange radiation. It's been healing you whenever you go through harm.
...Your cells are-a-suffering from over-replification, which has caused a cancer-like tumor to manifest in them. Right now, it's-a-barely noticable... but until you get used to these new powers, the more you use-a-your speed, the faster it'll fully spread... until it-a-kills you.
...
*phew*! I thought I was gonna explode or something!
Uh, ow!? What was that-a-for!? Also, I-a-let you have that one, just so you-a-know--
(What are you, stupid!? You're dying!)
FYI, Only-a-until I learn my way around this-a-new speed thing. Now's-a-not the time for panicking around.
Well, here we are... This building is essentially the main area where people of our community hang out.
Is that so? Nice. I feel welcomed already!
...Well, it was nice meeting you. Have fun!
Wait, you're not coming with?
Oh, good heavens, no! The people in there are NUTS! I just figured that since you've beaten Heeta, you'd be able to survive long enough to befriend them... Probably. Good luck!
...Well... Here goes nothing.

...And it put me through all sorts of crazy misadventures that would help me to learn more about my power as a Reaper... Power that would only grow stronger as I became more experienced.
...But that experience didn't just come from fighting, either. The more I learned about being a Reaper, the more responsibility I found out such a role had.
I learned how to create worlds with a thought... And how to destroy those same worlds in the same way, as well as the consequences that come when I do. And truth be told, my learning of consequences came more from experience than I'd like to admit.

Alright gentlemen! we've been a little bit displaced due to the ongoing antics of Hel and her goons, But i would like to begin our Bi-weekly Uno game, Now deal in your bets
50g.
This copy of Grima's Truth.
100g.
25g.
500 zenny? i don't know the conversion rate-
Gentlemen, Let us begin.
...And the worse things got, the more I felt pressured... I felt solely responsible for all these things, especially Devil. And then, that pressure built up, and... well...
*
...And even after you've helped me pull myself together- literally-, I still continued to struggle with this... Headache. That I was solely responsible for everything caused by my actions. It's just... A lot.
...In a way... It's why I really respect Walter. On top of being a Reaper, he's also the "Grande Supreme Kai" AND president of the entire world**. That's a LOT of responsibility, and yet... I don't think it wears him down any. Not visibly, anyways.
...Only the gods know just how much pressure fulfilling such roles must be placing on a guy like him.
...So when Beta told me I should consider talking to someone about it, he felt like a good option... Though, that may also be because the only other option was Rhys. And I just don't think he's the life advice sort-of guy.
But anyways, I asked him for advice, and when I did...
***
...Everything just became clear. Yes, I made mistakes, but it's just how a person grows. And regardless, the consequences that came with it was never something I had to handle on my own.
...And you shouldn't have to, either. Nobody ever said that being Omni-King means you have to work alone, right? You have friends, Kirby. Many of which I'm sure won't hesitate to help you with anything you might need. And if you don't believe me, I'm sure there are some members of Brash Crew that can confirm that.
...Poy... (...I...)
Poy poyoyo poy poyo... Poy poyo poy? (I already struggle enough being a Star Warrior... What if I'm not ready?)
Then you're just not ready. Nobody's going to force you to take up the mantle right away. You just keep being you. And when you're finally ready to take on the role, just don't forget that your friends will always help you, no matter what. Ok?
...
...Poyo. (...Thanks.)
(Shut.)
Anyways, someone's been screaming at us through the TV for the last 3-4 posts, so I'm just gonna address this.
Alright, let's just get this over with. When and where?
But why of course!
Epsilon, wait, you're not supposed to just click on pop-ups-
(Matt dammit.)
Sorry, were you saying something-
Finally... it's-a time for a PEP-PEP-PEP-PEP-PEPeroni pizza! But not really since I only eat cheese pizza.
