. 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.

So, this is how it'll be, then? Fine.
Truth be told, I haven't the need for the Dark Mirror anymore. I need no substitute to compensate for power.
Though if it's a fight the Aeon Hero looks for... I am more than willing to oblige on that behalf.

...A fighting tournament**. You're offering us a one-way ticket to existence- the KEY to our FREEDOM from this hellish landscape... In exchange for joining some stupid fighting tournament.
Of course not! ...Only the eight of you will suffice.
...Of all the asinine... Why did you even choose US, exactly? Why not... I dunno. Knight Man, or Ring Man. Or literally anyone who would actually give a damn about some dumb fighting competition!
Oh, come now. I thought you all would enjoy being free from this droll, empty place!
Look. The problem isn't that we don't want out of here; We do. The problem is that you aren't doing this out of kindness; You're doing this for the sake of your own selfish desires.
...Alright, look. Yes, I'm doing this because I'm in desperate need of contestants. But if that really was the ONLY reason, I wouldn't have come here.
I could've gone out and picked just some random fighters off the street if I wanted; Or, better yet, I could've just had my own employees do it. But, the truth is... Well. Perhaps I miss the way things used to be. Before the Void... Hell, before even that Rotom guy popped into our world out of nowhere.
Maybe it is a little selfish to ask this of you. But, considering what I'm offering in comparison to what I wish for in return... Wouldn't you say it'd be worth it to at least give it a try?
Very well. We shall accept thy offer...
...But in return... Thee must uphold a promise of thy own. A promise that thou shall return here to free the rest of us. ALL of us.
...
...I will. I promise.
...
...Honestly, I don't know what you were expecting. You infiltrated a military base to take back something we've impounded? You truly HAVE reached an all-time low.
So, as we prepare your cell for you, why don't you tell us all about why you did this. After all, I'm sure it is something that the courtroom will LOVE to hear all about.
...This "something" you've impounded from me is a VERY important object for me...
...And I MUST have it back. Or, at the very least, use it for a very brief moment.
Tell me the truth...do you expect the space engine to be completed anytime in this century?*
Well...
Is it done yet?
Nope...
Is it done yet?
Certainly not. &
Just give it time.
Is it don-
Do bathtubs fly?
...What?
Do bathtubs fly?
...No, of course not.
There's your answer.
...No.
Hmm...
Also, I have an update on the Artic Sea base.**
Hmm...
A nearby squad ended up finding the base heavily damage due to an earthquake. While nothing seemed out of the ordinary, it did uncover a strange set of crystals. We need further research upon them before we can determine it's usage of course...
Hmm...
Uh sir?
Tell me...how far does our radios go?
All around the world sir.
I mean in space.
Oh. Well uh...about 3 million light years if you count checkpoints and outposts.
I think the problem is that we've failed to adapt to our situation.
How so?
We've banking on a few scientists not even fully suited for the job to go and make a FTL transporter AND a turbine.
So are you saying that we should fire them?
No, of course not. Their roboticists, right? They need to make robots, not engines.
Course.
...
*sighs*
Sir? Are you okay?
Back in my day, when the United Flags of Minsupo was attacked by the Randa, the entire nation mobilized for war. Gardens replaced empty lawns and factories replaced ruined burial grounds. But, more than this, so much more that this, the people, which had just gotten over a civil war, now found themselves united once more to fight for a just cause. It was glorious. I...
...Can't you see what we need to do?
...
...While I have an idea, I'm sure you saying it would help to confirm it.
...
We need to mobilize the people! I failed to realize that if we are to protect the people, then we need the people's hand!
So what you're saying is-
Other planets will have to stand by for just a little while longer like how our allies had to wait for our support. We need every man and woman and machine on THIS planet to make this work. Your new orders are as follow:
Alright, first question: Are you from this dimension?
What the? Where am I?
That son of a-
Ah fuck.
Hey kid, think that this is a Satella Police ploy to get us zapped?
I dunno… but I think it's wise to try and investigate through the waves if you get my meaning.
Hah! My man!
Transcode! Mega Man!
God it's good to be in action again...
You know what? We can do something. Maybe not in accordance to Janemba, but there's still one set of bad guys I know that need pummeling.
Are... are you suggesting we go after Shake King? After we saw him curbstomp Wario with ease? After he took us all on?
It's a death wish, I know; And I'm not going to try and coerce any of you into doing what goes against your instincts. But the more we turn an idle eye to him, the more time we're giving him and the rest of his crew to do something world-threatening. And that's something we can't do.
You guys, White, Somari and his friends, and even Wario himself have taught me that there's more to fight for out there than what's on the surface. And I couldn't appreciate that any more than I already do.
So in the end, I'm going to fight. Fight until I can't lift a finger anymore.
...I suppose this was slightly unexpected. But you would be foolish to think this makes your chances of victory any better.
Alright, lets see what this "UKR" thing is...
Wait Uncle Phobos is that you?
What?
* HELLO! WELCOME TO UKR TERMINAL NUMBER 234! DO YOU HAVE AN ACCESS LEVEL CARD OF 7 OR HIGHER?
Did Light rebuild you? If so, for what purpose?
...
Hold it!
Huh?
Nobody messes with my buddy!
U.Air Man? What are you doing here?
Geh. Should of known he wouldn't of come alone.
I...I can't see! What did you do to me?!
Oh you're in for it now!
Get off her!
Spade, you okay?
Once you help get him off me, then I'll be. He weighs a ton!
Okay, so I know these two* are grade-A-holes, but someone's gonna have to explain just what the hell is going on here?!
