...Well then. Hello again, world.
...?
Woah!
!
We're under attack!
So this is the place huh?...
Looks generic as hell.
You should know. It's bad manners to enter someone's domain uninvited... but I think I can make an exception for you~.
...
Bro, what the fuck! I was only PLAYING!
I know there's additional meaning in the first four letters of your name. And I'm less than interested to explore in it right now, WHORE.
Fine. What do you want from me?
You already know what I want, bub. But fine. I'll tell you myself.
I want you to erase all my memories of anything involving Defteros.
MKII will still be better than you in every way, forgotten life partner or not.
SHUT UP!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW THAT! AND YOU DON'T KNOW ME AS WELL AS YOU THINK YOU DO!
I've got a whole new power now. And from here on out, it's my decision to dedicate it to evil.
Oh, veeery impressive, sweetie. You're the seven-hundredth person to find their new special power up. You're sooooo strong and sooo special, I respect and fear you.
Is that what you want me to say? Because proving how insecure and weak-willed you are by giving in... isn't doing it for me.
You laugh. But I hold the power and potential to become the strongest. There's only one way to do that... and it's to cut my weakness behind.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Here's the key to your new home!
(I fail to see the point of wearing this.)
(Shut up. Do you want the public to see you and freak out?)
(I dunno, maybe?)
(Well, too bad. And if you EVER take that hood off in public, or go ANYWHERE without that hood, I will kick your sorry
into next week.)
...Ok, I'll bite. Who's this guy you're hanging around with?
Well, I already learned that being transparent with you guys will only cause me trouble down the line. I'll tell you guys about it inside...
...
...
...Now, I know what all of you are thinking. And if you'd just give me a moment to explain-
What the
ing HELL!?
Yeah, that's the kind of response I was expec-
Why the hell is he ALIVE again!?
I mean, with the kind of roleplay this is-
I am NOT dealing with this Anti-Omni
again!
And that's fair, but-
I'm kinda lost, who's this guy and why is everyone mad at him?
Well, he's-
I'll try to contact the Brash Crew. Hopefully they can get here before he can go Diablo-
He can't go Diablo, alright!? If you all can just calm down, I'll explain everything. But if you keep shouting at me, I'm not even going to get a word in, so PLEASE save all questions until the end, ok?
Thank you. Now, allow me to explain...
...So how long has he been like that?
Truthfully... he's never been the same after his resurrection. His fight with Regulus proved that.
Verily. Thine leader seemed... quite troubled.
I don't blame him. I'm furious. In fact, that's one of the things driving me right now.
Amen.
I won't pretend like it's all for their sake... but the amount of people he's made suffer is ridiculous.
You're preaching to the choir on this one. Everyone I ever new before the Quints... they're gone. Because of him. And now he's threatening to do it again!?
He is decimation incarnate. Gaining vengeance on the main responsible behind the collapsing of your universe is easier said than done.
Him and the kid... when they were Hades, I worked with him.... so... I don't know how to think about that. I don't have any personal experience with the real deal himself...but... he sounds like a damn monster.
How did Defteros put up with him, or even survive against him?
stops all projectiles fired from both him and all other parties in place for 3 turns. Up until this time, no one can fire any sort of projectile.














I apologize for earlier. It's a personal issue of mine which you're referring to... But we don't have time to fixate purely on that. It's not about me, anyway.
It's irrelevant. Any more ideas?
(Um... I think we should help Mr. Defteros.)
Nice gesture, kid. But you're not exactly popular out there. 'sides. He can handle it. He's stronger than how he's fighting right now, he could plow through that sunnova gun if he wanted.
(But he isn't...)
Well, maybe not, but maybe there's a good reason for that?
(Dad, Mr. Defteros has helped you a lot of times, right? He's been there for everyone here! So we should back him up!)
Giving ourselves away when the situation doesn't require us is an extreme tactical error. We can't risk exposing ourselves for nothing, and then waste time if MKII does eventually show.
...
(Dad...)
U-uh...
(...How would you... ANY OF YOU... abandon your own friend... for revenge?)
W-wait, come on now, it's not like tha--
Son!
If I were a betting bot on days other than sunday, I'd wager he's heading for the purple prick himself.
We're going, ASAP. And if the situation can't help itself... we're ending this petty callout once and for all.
Yeah.
Right!









ing cheated.

DING DONG, DELIVERY OF ROCKMAN SHADOW TO THE BUCKAROO RESIDENCE


hole Beta X chained me up to a wall with chains made of that Vengeance
, so needless to say, it was tough to break out of the chains.





...So you've gotten a stronger form, and what, we're supposed to consider that a good thing!?
Well, technically, the form isn't stronger than Diablo, or even as strong. And even then, it also strains my body; As it currently stand, I could only hold the form for one hour.
Which leads us to why I've let Devil live to begin with. You see, something I've struggled with was figuring out whether or not I've actually reached my limit... My mind kept going back to how I was told I've "reached my potential", when Beta Devil has proven that he could go further beyond what I thought was my limit.
...Unfortunately, there aren't many that can really push my limits, so my options are limited. MB's been missing for some time now, Walter is a busy individual, and Rotom is... Well, Rotom. So outside of the literal gods, I didn't quite have anyone to train with.
...But when I first found out Beta Devil was alive, I realized... He's essentially a representation that I can still grow stronger. So, I figured that perhaps I could use him as a means to get stronger myself.
...That, and he proved that no matter how many times we kill him, he's just gonna keep coming back. So, why not have it benefit us? Even if he's... Well...
Evil?
Psychotic?
An absolute menace?
I was going to say "an
hole".


...If it reassures you any further, though, it has been decided to keep a close eye on him at all times. So if you're worried he'll be doing one of his "grand evil schemes to destroy the Omniverse", don't; He is banned from doing evil schemes.
...Well, now that that's out of the way, we can finally talk about how a certain SOMEONE abandoned me in a dying universe.
You're seriously still on that? Come on, Jazz wasn't like this when I did the same to him.
Ugh, you're honestly unbelievable. I know Jazz wasn't actually your creation, but I WAS. Don't you care in any sort of way? Aren't I like a daughter to you or something?
Not particularly.
...You know what? FINE. Whatever. It's blatantly obvious that you're never going to care about ANY of your robots, so I'm done trying. I'm out.
...
You know what? No. I'm putting my foot down on this, right here, right now.
...Look. There's no "maybe" about it. I never truly cared about you or Jazz in the past; To me, you were both a means to an end. So yes, I was evil. I was selfish. I was a jerk. I've done a lot of bad things, and harmed ALL of you in some way for another.
But I am TRYING to be a better person now. Whether you can trust me or not, I'm one of you now. And I might not have cared before, but I am trying to do so NOW. But CONSTANTLY JUDGING ME ON MY PAST ACTIONS is absolutely NOT helping on that front.
So if ALL OF YOU can just cut me some
ing slack, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
...
...So, uh... What happened to Jazz, anyways?






Alright smart guys, how is a locked door gonna keep me from RUINING YOU
They locked it because of Rockman Shadow, Doc.
Shadow...wake up...
So...now what sir? Wait around for something to happen and then start your plan in the process?
PRECISELY! Except we go the scene of the chaos, announce our plan, the laugh our asses off!
Wait, whats the plan again?
Mega Water, care to explain?
Uh. I don't know either...
...
IN A NUTSHELL, instead of tearing apart reality, we're trying to smash it all into one...but we need a way to get rid of resistance first...Trio has been summoning omniholes around in secret, not to cause chaos alone...but to make our trump card stronger.
STOP BEING CRYPTIC YOU DUNCE, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THIS TRUMP CARD IS
BUT IT ADDS TO THE SUSPENSE
WHO CARES ABOUT SUSPENSE? TELL US
...
So, what's exactly stoppin' us from just contactin' the strongest person we know?
After the whole Butlertype-fiasco... I doubt he's an option to go to in a pinch.
Walter? Wait... what about the guy who looks like him, sounds like him, moves like him, has the same name, but is a completely different non-relative person?
We don't know who he is. Either of them, for that matter.
What are you two talking about?
Doesn't matter. You have data on his capabilities during the timeline hop you-know-who did?
Huh? Yeah, I do. But if he really has been squaring off with one of your friends, part of it could very well be outdated. I'll pull them back u




!!!!
Awwww.... shit.
Well... now what?
Uh oh. Looks like there's still someone who got hurt. I'd better...
...A-ah!
Ngh.... Ugh...
Soul!
!!?
Rgh!! W-what're you ...doing!?
Bah. The boy. But, your utility has outlived your existence long ago.
U-utility!? I don't-- what-- you--
!
I shall do away with you as I have before. But this time...
...There shall be no remains for you to return from.
