. 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.
We'unno, okay? But when it comes to the Makai, yes. We are.
Oh yeah we guess you're probably wanting to know our--
...name.
...
Gyoku? Huh! Long time, no see! What's up?
Crap, I take a break for like a few days, and already there's at least two more pages than last time. Also, since there's apparently a AOC'd version of Pi Android, I can only assume that someone brought them in from the future.
Well, I guess I gotta get back to work, part of which involves sending someone in there to take care of things.
Yello, it's Shired.
Hey man, it's Rhys. See, there's a bunch of Anti-Omni-Corrupted individuals over at Cranky's hut, plus some Coda Corrupted ones as well. I'm busy sitting around doing nothing, so I can't come over there myself. Plus, I don't wanna have to break out our secret weapon unless we absolutely HAVE to.
Okay, I'll tell Updog to meet me there as well.
Y'all have 5 seconds to tell me what you're doing here before I Metal Spike EVERYONE in the room.
...You know, we were in a really good mood until you mentioned her.
So... we're assuming revenge is of the mind?
(Damn, he got really strong since I last saw him, and he wasn't easy pickings back then either. I guess I need to keep shooting while he ISN'T absorbing everything and never slip up again, because if I do, I'm dead.)

Yeah, sure. Come in.
...You called me, Master Jazz?
First off, just "Jazz" will be fine. Secondly, yes, I wished to bring your attention to something.
What is it?
I have found something... interesting in the data of this IC Chip... Namely, the serial code. Tell me... How familiar are you with the designation NLN?
NLN...?
Uh... C- It could mean anything! Right...?
Actually, yes. One of the meanings could be "New Light Number...
Whew...
...A concept that was created by DaCrashBomber**, an inactive user.
Oh...
Which leaves us with only one other option (unless the forums search results managed to miss something)... The Noble Light Numbers. Of which belongs to 9 different robots, including...
...Oh god...
Mhm.
And something tells me that bringing back the ASNs isn't just about revitalizing their failed story arc***. This led to me coming to a conclusion about what I believe to be Coda's motives...
...He isn't just dredging up forgotten pasts. He's trying to dig up lost memories of us and the heroes. In other words... His plan is to mess with our heads.
...So, then... Should we warn the others?
...
...I don't think we should. Not yet.
But why not...?
...Because while he was working on this stuff, Missingno. informed me about how the group that attacked them brought up something about a "doctor". And if my theory is correct...
...Then it's best if the DOS Bots do not know this... ESPECIALLY Dyna. Their reaction... Might not be pretty. As well as exactly what Coda would WANT them to react.
...That... Might be a problem.
...Why...?
One of the DOS Bots, Sonic Man... Isn't he a sound-sensitive robot with greater hearing than most, if not all of the others here?
...
...Cr-
..ORQ's creator? Our creator?)
(...)
(...I don't blame him. The past's been enough of a blur that all we've thought of is Dyna Man's world-wandering, and...well, whatever Shark was going through*.)
(Then again, I'd be surprised if any of us were ready to outright welcome him with open arms. Aside from maybe Volt.)
(But I shouldn't pretend I know what they'd think. They may be family - some more than others - but Coda or no Coda, this worries me.)
(I'm just glad they didn't hear him-)
Yo, Sonic Dude?
Wh-oh, Wave. Do you need something?
Just wanted to make sure the horned dudette could come back here to crash if she needed. She's a little off-balance.
Uh...sure.

...Well, even if he was eavesdropping on this conversation, what he intends to do with the knowledge... *Sigh* Well, I guess it isn't our problem.
...Well, anyways... You mentioned Missingno. earlier, and that actually reminds me...
He went off to check up on Rika in Gensokyo, right? When's he coming back from that?
...
...And then she just... snaps at me! Like all my TRYING to cheer her up was actually an attempt to rant at her! Well, EXCUSE ME, but it's not my damn fault if Beta Shadow didn't understand what was going on! It's not like I was the one who misinterpreted what she ranted to herself about!
But you know who's REALLY at fault here? The boy.
"Oh, look at me! I carry the Prototype Ring of Spite! That means I can take whatever the hell I want, and spit in everyone's face, like a selfish BRAT!" It's not like we would've said NO if he just asked before he ripped a circuit out of OUR droids! I would've never even CAME if he didn't just straight-up steal from us!
And the worst part is, I'M the only one who's OFFENDED by this blatant thievery of our technology! I mean, yeah. I get it, Jazz did it, too*. But if someone takes your stuff without your permission, you're supposed to stand up for yourself, not act like a damn coward!
Honestly, between this and avoiding taking a single step in Gensokyo, it's almost like Jazz wants people to treat him like goddamn DIRT.
And the very fact he only brought me back to life just to fight in a battle we couldn't even win**... And this wasn't even my ONLY terrible experience with these... Existent people.
The outside world is broken and torn. And the people in it are either too stubborn or too foolish to learn, and therefore are incapable of fixing it... And henceforward, I will want NOTHING to do with it.
Not gonna pony up on that info, eh? That's okay, I've been looking for an excuse to use THIS trick, anyway!
Come here, little baby Met!
(Whuh-oh.)
Leave him alone.
Ahah! Just as planned by myself!
What the hell are you--
Planned?
You put up good fight, comrade... But your methods were questionable.
Now, I should relay the secret to this technique to my fellow sib--
I prefer not to sully my hands with the concept of killing...
...
...But it is as soon as you threaten lives in that manner that you are considered at utmost threat. I will not tolerate for a second any attempts at such, no matter who.
Regardless, that's one down. It's time to get a move on.
