Y'know what... I genuinely want to acknowledge our stupid acts, like we do it just to tolerate our existence out of pure boredom just because trying to act normal just feels like cringe when you think about what you're saying, sure that's not everyone's opinion but it's part of us right?
wow... I'm proud that you took the time to actually pay attention for once.
That's not the same for you, your still using lowercase text and ending your sentences with a period
Oh right... also you're*-
SON OF A-
*groan* this is getting cringe again, I'm going to go make the f***ing 4th timeline no-
NOT THIS TIME
Wait wha-
DON'T YOU THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO GET SOMEWHERE, LIKE, REALLY FAR?
But what's the point?
ISN'T IT BETTER TO WATCH THEM SUFFER TO FIGHT EVIL RATHER THAN CONTINUOUSLY PUT THEM IN A LOOP THEY CAN'T REALIZE???
...I guess you're right...
GOOD... IN THE MEANTIME, WE SHALL CONTINUE TO PLAN AHEAD FOR WHAT MAY COME IN THE FUTURE, ALSO, MAKE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR EX(#*&$^, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE HE IS SAFE IN THAT "#ROLEPLAY" SECTION
Understood S#&*(@#...
I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD OF YOURSELF A*@(&^... HEHEHEHE... HA... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF--!?
...
...The wench. So it would appear you have an urge to be reunited with your scum bro--
This is for Soul.
Drgh...!
Right now, you're feeling the exact same feeling I did when you took him away from me. Helplessness.
I am always helpless! For the only help I require is my own!
NGGGGHHH!!!!
DON'T. Be so sure. Right when I thought you couldn't be any more vile, you slew Defteros. I barely knew him at all and he was the nicest person I have ever met.
Here it is. The place where these absurd energy levels are coming from... I'm not even sure why I agreed to come.
Awesome. I'm heatin' up just thinking of how powerful things can get!
I wouldn't be so excited. Over there. Those are the 'Team Prototype' guys we fought, and that pink peacemaker.
!?
Woah, woah! They're crazy powerful! To think they would end up like this...
...I don't even know if I'll come out alive! This is the greatest challenge I could ask for!
What!? No, this is serious! We shouldn't even be here!
If you all want out, then you don't have to be here. But me... I've found it. Exactly where my destiny awaits.
Urrrgh...
Oh, relax, will you? So your spirit animal's a rabbit, big deal.
Oh, it is. I ain't no prey animal. I'm a predator,
it!
...A predator.
Of course! I am a villain, through and through! Those who know the name "Mirror Reaper" COWER in fear! And I will be the one who CONQUERS my goodie counterpart of my world AND this one!
...Yeah, I think it's time for a reality check.
If you think for a MOMENT that you're as much of a villain as I am, you're DAMN wrong. You're not a villain. You're just LAZY. Before your return from the Realm of Non-Existence, you just sat back while Dark Taranza and Mirror Beta did all the work. Where Beta Shadow invited himself into Beta Man's adventures since 2016 or so, you have just done nothing but lounge about, taking up the "bad guy" role because of people like Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Dedede!
Do you even know what the Mirror World really is? What it was before Dark Mind took over? Because spoiler alert, it wasn't always just evil counterparts.
And even when you did try to live up to the "evil counterpart" role, you've allowed my purple counterpart to take leadership role in the "evil counterparts" club you made. You are FAR from a REAL villain.
...And the first step to changing that is to accept your spirit animal for what it is.
Urgh... but what evil can be found in a rabbit?
The same evil that can be found in a shark, a wolf, or a vulture. And the same evil that can be found in a dolphin, a deer, or a hummingbird.
Yeah, right. Those first three animals feel completely opposite in the good-evil spectrum than the other three.
For the love of...
No animal is completely good or evil, idiot! They're non-sapient. And those who are sapient are just as morally varying as any other.
Well, if it doesn't matter, then why a rabbit? Why not a more cunning animal, like a fox, or a coyote?
Oh, please. A rabbit can be rather cunning, too. They think fast on their feet, know how to deal with danger...
Hell, they can be as overconfident as you, if the story of the Tortoise and the Hare is anything to go by.
What was that?
I said, I might know of someone who may teach you how to connect with your inner rabbit.
And just who would that be?
...I hate whenever we do this gag.
Hey, ain't no use wasting a gag if it works, eh?
So, ehhhhhh...
What's up, doc?
...Chase, hm? Was that the guy I heard yelling earlier?
...Must've went the wrong way. I wonder if he's thought about making a respawn point like I did.
I don't know what that Ninja Ghost was talking about. Wraith's a good guy! He's just letting all that "Vangus" stuff get to his head. There's no way Wraith would be on his side, right?
Well, y'know what, thanks for the advice!
That was all it took?! Just missed one thing and now I can take on any-
...wait, I should've gotten more from that, shouldn't I?
It wasn't a particularly durable machine besides the defensive shell.
You hit it like 6 times and it only kinda flinched!!
I told you, I wasn't boasting when I said what I knew was that far beyond what I could do.
I'm...really not a fighter. All I've really done is be a backdrop for a guardian of Makai, and...well, I don't even have that anymore.
I was lucky the floors above us had nothing to fight. That machine was the closest I've ever been to really facing something, and I probably would've died if it hit me with the weakest thing it had.
...
I'd say "you're welcome", but...something tells me I'll be the one to thank anyone if I don't crumple like tissue paper when we get to the bottom floor.
You lead. You're the one who can actually take a hit.
Grey Matter, huh? Think I heard a thing or three about them a bit before the...well, reason why we're talkin' right now*.
And the UKR...they've always rubbed me the wrong way, even when they were just sayin' Doppler Labs needed a permit or some bogus like that.
So, lemme ask...
...what's the plan?
...
...I should've known this was a waste of time.
I couldn't care less how much you say this increases my power. Because if I have to give you my own life for it, it's not mine, now is it?
You can't just expect something like darkness† to stay put like some sort of pet. And what I am is darkness.
...
Ah my head…What…
...Oh great.
...
...What’s up doc? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
Thankfully not. Welcome back the realm of the living commander.
...Sweet Palutena I really did a number on these huh?
Commander, you’re…would you like to take a look at the scan? I feel like it-
Sure.
Just…brace yourself please.
...That doesn't look cheap.
Money’s not the problem commander.
Then what is?
It’s the fact that no one, even us, has the parts to begin with.
What?!
V1 Police Man models were rare back then but now, they’re almost nonexistent.
Nonexis…so?
We have a few components from your previous bodies but with no working blueprint we can’t repli-
You’re telling me that I run an PMC that has possibly tens of millions worth of spare parts and income and yet I can’t get two arms fixed?
Those parts are for hundreds of different models, none of which matc-
Yeah I get what you’re saying. It’s just…*sigh*.
...
So what parts can be replaced… or substituted till we find a better alternative?
Hmm…Some of the mobility joints down below, optics could easily be retuned...hmm, stability in the higher portion of the arms could be restored through a nanclavian joint transfer but lower down its a complete loss. The mobile transceiver too radiated to work properly as well as the fuel tank. As for the DarkFuel Temperature regulator, power compository, those can’t be fixed anyways without a Shroudsmith.
Wait, how bad is the fuel tank?
...Without this machine you’re connected to or a portable one…you most likely have 5 hours before a full recharge is needed.
Of course commander. …I’m sorry th-
It’s fine.
Hey. No one is to know of this, are we clear?
Of course commander.
...
We need to up our recruitment drive. Either that or we need to start taking more prisoners.
Even when the pit is the one asking for the ransom?
...Don’t worry about it. Just get that taken care of alright? We need at least 3 months worth as soon as possible.
One more thing.
Send a scouting team to these coordinates.
Is that a problem?
Good. Whatever it is, I trust you can get it done with your recent promotion. You can get it done correct?
Good. RDS out.
