Weird... I figured ol' Defteros would've been the first to get here.
C-Could it be!?
Probably not what you think, since our target's busy fighting Soul.
He was called for at the exact same time as our foursome here. What the hell's taking him so long?
Guys... I think I know what's going on...
What?
Ngghhhh...
COME, THEN!
Here I go!
!!
YOUR SKILLS ARE FORMIDABLE... BUT THEY ARE THE INFERIOR!
U-ugh!
HNH!
!
Gh... (...I'm it.)
That's... the first time I've ever seen that
guy get hit.
He took it on purpose. He wanted an excuse to use that flashy counterattack.
Not to mention Pink & Gold is still holdin' back. He's tryin' to use just the right amount of force to squeeze in. But he's payin' for it.
He's after you, isn't he?
...
Yeah, there's a looot of hooplah about that. People all around who have suffered from Butlertype have championed him as their hero.
Heh. I don't envy your situation... If you fight him and lose, you'll be humiliated in front of the entire world. If you win, the people you're trying to protect will hate you even more. And if you don't fight... well... all they'll see you as... is a coward.
Defteros can fight his own battles. I've got nothing to prove to people. All I can do is forge ahead in the same direction me and my allies have been going.
Hey, man, I think you need to relax. This stuff seems like it's... getting to you.
If Soul comes back alive, then perhaps. But until then, I have no intention of doing so.
No. Something's definitely wrong with you.

I mean, as much as I want to say he's wrong... Dude. You look ready to blow your lid at any moment. You're not okay. It's like you're being eaten away at.
...
...I'll be back. I'm not leaving.
Shouldn't we be trying to stop Trio or something?
How do we do that with no leads on where he is? His Genesis Unit guys seem to be gone, too, so we don't exactly have any way of finding him.
I'm sure if any of us find out anything about Trio, we'll contact each other and regroup. For now, lets take this moment of calm to sort out our other issue...
Hope to stay in touch!
...Ok, so if the coordinates are correct, then...
...Ah, here we go! This should be the place Beta Shadow promised to get us back in Part 1*...
...You know, it just dawned on me that we're only now visiting our home. How the hell have the bills even been payed around here...?
To be fair, we haven't exactly been given any time to wind down. (Fighting a giant bug-creature for roughly 8 months** certainly didn't help, either.)
...Beta Shadow never gave us the key, did he?
