(Run away? Sorry if that disappoints you, but that's not my style. And I doubt it's Shadwari's either.)
We won't lose, and we won't be blown to smithereens. That's what it means to fight on your own terms!
It makes no difference to me.
How many seconds do you-a-think we have left?
By my-a-estimation...
Two.
We left without Yoshles and Shadwari.... we can-a-only hope they managed to escape in time.
If it was anyone besides-a-those two, I'd have some doubt... but they're not the type of people to lose to that-a-so easily.
So... I believe in them!
Yeah! Me-a-too...!
Naturally. You should've have suspected nothing else to be the end result.
Don't make me take that back...
We didn't "beat" him, before you ask. But we did manage to knock him out of the building and escape ourselves... though, perhaps you could call that something of a victory in of itself.
(Even if he was a Fake King, that guy still hits like three hundred torpedos....)
A fake King... that-a-makes more sense. I was confused on why he was-a-there to begin with.
But... what was the purpose on laying that trap for-a-us? Maybe he wanted to separate us, but that clearly-a-didn't work. And of all people to get help-a-from, he chose someone who could act as-a-an imposter?
Ah, who cares? What matters is, I've already beat Shake King! All fourteen of them!
I said something weird?
(Yeah. Well, maybe. But... I thought there were fifteen Shake Kings? You had the original, and he used that Duracell power-thing to make fourteen others.)
Well, no. Wait. Yeah! Pretty-a-sure I beat him, too. Or however-a-many there were. Fifteen,-a-right?
Let's run a count based on-a-what we've seen and had you tell us.




That adds up to FOURTEEN. Which means either Yoshles miscounted...
Or...
Jewel failed, but escaped the blast as well... do you really intend to leave this universe, and return to your original?
Of course. Otherwise, my work for this while would have been for nothing. Though, I NEVER said anything about changing my ways... which means I'll be free to do as I please without those three menaces.
I see.
And you? You did seem to have a hard time of it dealing with that meddlesome Somari. If you have any plans of revenge on him or Wario... then I have plenty of information and technology to back that up.
.....There was a time where I would have accepted such an offer without a moment's notice. But... I have had, a long, long while to think about my past. My plot. My life, these recent years. The entire time, I thought I was entitled to the revenge that I desired. I hated Wario like I hated no other man before-- and deep within me, I still might.
But... the entire reason it had come to that point was because of my entitled and selfish desires. I plundered a world for limitless currency, and thought nothing of reprecussions until I was on the receiving end. In short, I brought it upon myself.
Hmmm.
I let hate blind me... at the very least, until the late Crazy Miner said something to me.
Something in that Crazy Miner fellow certainly did change after fighting the likes of Wario... who knew that oaf had a way with words after all?
Wario was furious at Miner's defeat... and you could also say that part of his fight was as revenge as well... but the difference was he was fighting for what Miner would have wanted.
I do not know what fate lies within my future. But regardless of whether I live to fight another day, regardless of the role I am in....
...I REFUSE to let myself fall victim to the self-cycle of loathing once again. There will never, EVER, be another time where I indulge in such pettiness again.... or endanger the ones I fought with again.
I see. Well... I respect your choice nonetheless, so I'll leave it at that.
Hurry, up, brat! We're going home!
What? But I haven't even finished packing any stuff!
Who cares about that? There's plenty of "stuff" back at the ship, including most of your kiddie-games!
Koopenstein. Is he...?
...
....So what? I'm getting old, and it gets rather lonely.
...
Besides... if what he went through last time means anything to-a-him... I doubt he'll do a thing like that.
Um, hi?
.... WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA... WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA! (This is almost unheard of... I thought for sure my Super form alone would be a match for Spooky!)
WAKA-WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA. (But somehow, he's stronger than ever before. Even so... I have to find some way to keep Pac-Land safe from him!)
The physical portion of my training is solely so my body can handle that power. If I'm too weak, I will only cripple myself. Therefore... I need strength that allows me to handle such strain.
The same thing goes for my mind. I need immense discipline and focus so that I can concentrate. Even a second without diligence could be punished harshly. Thus, the need for meditation as well.
Suggestion noted.
Now, then. Correct me if I am wrong, but there are 11 of us in the group so far.
...Unless, any of you want to-
off.
Right, nevermind. Anyways, I don't see us being split up very evenly, but here's what I'm thinking: Kirby and Aqua Dolphin can look for the Heaven Jewel. Aqua seems to know more about where it is than anyone else does, and Kirby- if I am unmistaken- is the only one of us who can use it.
As for those of us who are going after the Agony creatures, something I noted with Cyber-Lucina is that the Agony Creatures seem to have some kind of natural draw to each other, or at least can detect the location of other Agony Creatures.
For this reason, I suggest that Beta Devil, Missingno., Rat Kill, and myself make up one team, while the other consists of Techno, Orchestra, Cyber-Lucina, Coco, and Quake Woman. That way, both teams would have at least one being of Agony alongside them, to hopefully be able to find these creatures more quickly.
Additionally, I will be sending out a group of Jazz Droids to find two other groups: Palutena's group, and Beta Man's group. I'm certain that Palutena and the others have had their fair share of Agony encounters, and given... certain complications, I don't think Beta Man or the others are doing anything important at the moment. This should give us more numbers to cover more ground and ease up the work.
If any of you have any questions, concerns, or objections, speak now.
(Damn* it...! I don't know what that little guy is up to, but now, even if I were to do anything to distract those two, I'd surely be caught!)
(...What are the chances of there being a BACK entrance...?
How did we get here so fast?
I don't know, but at least we can find Viridi and the others. Also Palutena, are you sure you can trust the Dragon Girl?
Aight, let me be just a little bit clearer with you on something...
You think a batch of Galaxians, can handle a ghost hammer, and a Super Toc-Man?
I'll take that bet.
!?
...WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. (...The odds aren't as stacked against me as you might think.)
WAKA! (Hmph!)
Not All Is Found In An Instant
Some things are Lost before Dimensions carry them to be found
The road is like a magnet
But only three have entered it
The others merely followed its pull

BROKEN SEAL | HP: 46%
WAKA. (Oof!)
WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. (That won't stop me!)
Think The Pac has a shot at taking 'em?
Dunno... it's bad enough that he has to deal with Spooky on his own, but to deal with a Super Toc-Man at the same time? Even if he does pull through, he's gonna have his hands full...
WAKU. WAKU. WAKU. (LISTEN. AND. SUFFER.)
WAKA-WAKA... WAKA-WAKA! (Agh... that's annoying!)
WAKA... (But...)
WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA! (With these powers, I don't need to see you to know where you are!)
WAKU. WAKU. WAKU. WAKU. WAKU. WAKU (WARNING. ENERGY. LOW. FROM. SUPER. SIZING.)
!?!?
Och... mine head... no doubt about it, I can get one over the foolish pac-mortal if I time this just right.
Well, if we are going to have to retrieve our plants, we are going to need some help.
Don't worry! I'll go and call up my niece!
Alright! She'll be here in a jiffy!
Alright I'm here! What's the emergency Uncle Dave?
Oh goody! Now that you're here, I'm going to need your help in retrieving all my plants, as Mr. Boss Guy has taken them away again!
Garble do wabo we hurg!
Ugh! Not Zomboss again... what must he be up to this time?
Hey Patrice! What's going on?
Oh Nate! I was going to call you eventually; how'd you know I was here?
You run past my house several times but this time you were dashing away so I just followed you assuming Cr- er, your Uncle Dave needed us for something.
Mmm... Fair.
Rigglefurg!
What'd he say?
He's says he's grateful to have you.
Now that we're all here, I'll start calculating the locations of the plants, and you guys can go and devise a plan.
On it! 
WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA.... WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. (To utilize even Orson's own invention like this... not even he would have wished for it to be put to use in such a foul manner.)
WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA.... (you decimated Pac-Land. Destroyed the peace we worked for. And threatened the ones I love most...)

*
WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. WAKA-WAKA WAKA-WAKA. (This power trip of yours has gone on long enough. It all ends here for you.)
Funny thing about that.
They were supposed to join the rest of those pathetic pac-people in the afterlife.
