WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Sheebs gets up, holding a paw to his head.

〈Sheebs! Are you alright? You looked rather... red back there.〉
〈Aside from a terrible headache, I'm fine... I think.〉

Fake Peppino falls to the ground with a resounding SPLAT!

.ɘniʜƨ bnɒ ɘƨiɿ ,ƨɿɘqmɒɔ γɒʞo ƨi ƨoniqqɘꟼ

Mike and Sheebs inspects the earthy soup(?) that healed them, finding that some of it is composed of several elements that the dogs can use for crafting. (Obtained 6 Stone, 4 Coal, 4 Flint, and 6 Raw Copper, which they were also meant to obtain through their mining because they did so on each AP, but Tedd didn't know until I told him so he gave me the rest of the items even though he really didn't have to)

〈Well, this is convenient.〉

The dogs attempt once again to Cut Trees with the Wooden Axe.

Meanwhile, as Fake Peppino dissolves into the floor, Alpha Darkfire juggles the pumpkin bomb in his hands.

You know, Xane. I don't think we've- "we" being Beta Team and the Order of Heroes- ever seen what the other is made of since we've met at that one base.

Alpha Darkfire then throws the pumpkin behind himself, unintentionally causing it to land in Worker's hands.

Let's change that, shall we?

Alpha's hand then glows red-hot as he rams a Melting Point Punch into his face!

And speaking of ramming, as the dogs return from their tree-cutting to turn Wood into Planks and 2 Planks into Sticks, Fake Peppino emerges from the ground to ram into Xane with a Mach Run before melting back into the ground.

...Then Fake Peppino emerges from the ground to ram into Xane with a Mach Run before melting back into the ground.

...Then Fake Peppino emerges from the ground to ram into Xane with a Mach Run before not melting back into the ground. (+1 Clone x2; Reminder that the first use costs 0 AP.)

〈Awww, what!? Master got much more use out of these things than that!〉
〈...Does he? I don't think I ever saw him use one of these made out of wood...〉
〈I mean... We haven't exactly seen him use one of these ever since he never took us on any sort of trip... The closest I ever got was when I peaked at him making that underground place...〉

The dogs look at the 3 Stone they have.

〈Well, I suppose we can just make a better one with this stuff...〉

The dogs go back over to the Crafting Table before making 4 more Sticks with their last 2 Wooden Planks, then uses those sticks and their Stone to make a Stone Pickaxe. They then decide to Chop more Trees with their Wooden Axe for more Wood.

Meanwhile, Fake Peppino holds out the Darkfire Dr. Pepper to the Noise.

.bɘtnɒw t'nob υoγ tnɒw υoγ ʞniɿb tɒʜt tʜϱυoɿd I !ɘɔnɒɿdmɘmɘɿ ʇo ƨnoitɒɿɒlɔɘb ,ʜO

Fake Peppino opens up the can, causing a fireball to crash down onto the field. From the fireball, a figure emerges...

...Hey, there. Mind if I join this party?
...Why does everyone seem concerned?

Alpha Darkfire joins the fight, starting with a Shadowflame Sword on Xane! (Stats and such are in the Summon Sheet)

Fake Peppino then launches globs of... himself... at Xane. (Buster Shot again)

Fake Peppino decides to join Noise on his balloon ride... And immediately regrets it.

.ƨυɿiv tnɘmɘvom ɘʜt ɘvɒʜ I

Fake Peppino proceeds to spew chunks of slimy cheese at Xane! (Buster Shot, though that's not a bad idea for a future move)

Meanwhile, the Dogs decide to Dig & Mine again.

As Fake Peppino lands down, he proceeds to Strike a Taunt twice, the first being a Super Taunt.

That's still not what I-
Wait, maybe this could work...

---

〈Well, I was hoping for Stone, but this works. Now we'll just have to make some more wood for a-〉

Suddenly, the dogs spot that next to the Crafting Table is a Furnace, a Smoker, a Workbench, a Brewing Stand, and a pair of hands placing down an Enchanting Table before disappearing into the surrounding ghostly fog.

〈Who was that?〉
Who was what? I can barely make out SQUAWK! with all this fog.

The dogs look to each other, do their best equivalent to a shrug, then proceed to cook their Rotten Flesh in the Smoker. (Learned Cook Food, Smelt Metal).

They then swing a Copper Greatsword and a Wooden Sword at Xane. Mike prepares to swing again with the Wooden Sword, but is stopped by Nitron P.

Wait wait wait! Would you mind providing another one of those guard moves...?
〈But why? You're not the one who's fighting...〉
Oh, no, it's not for me...

Nitron P directs the dogs' attention to the taunting Fake Peppino.

〈What!? Why should we protect him? He's the one who attacked me and Sheebs earlier!〉
Well, with that Taunt on, the Raid Boss will be forced to target him up to 4 times, causing him to trigger your counter. It's an optimal play!
Besides, does he really look like the kind of person (thing?) that would've knowingly attacked?
〈...I... guess not... Fine, but we're not forgiving him!〉

A Dog Guard is provided to Fake Peppino.

---

(...There. I'm through with these acts of generosity... *Sigh* That's the last time I'm ever going to drag Minecraft Dogs into this realm for the purpose of chaos...)

As Fake Peppino puts his head back on, he spots the Noise.

!ɘzɘɘυpƨ ɒ ɘm ɘviϱ bnɒ ɘɿɘʜt moɿʇ γɒwɒ γɒtƧ !ɘƨioИ ɘʜt bnɘiɿʇ ϱnυoγ booϱ γm ƨi ti ʇI !ƨqilʇ γm ɒzziq ,llɘW

Fake Peppino charges at the Noise with a Mach Run, though misses and hits Xane (or whoever he may be disguised as this round) instead.

.ƨqoO

Meanwhile, the dogs finish Digging and Mining before deciding to provide Noise with a Dog Guard.

Meanwhile, Nitron P hovers over to the Noise.

(Just for legal clairity, we'll be editing you out and replacing you with an entirely different character for the show. Especially after the whole M1K3 fiasco, we don't quite have the budget to pay you any more "Crossover Appearances" than the one we payed you for with Vegeta's debut.)

He then looks over to Fake Peppino.

So, uh, do you think you could do something a little more... How should I say, useful? To the situation?

Fake Peppino looks over to Nitron P with a confused expression, then keeps the same sort of expression upon looking over to the battlefield.

...Hello? Anything?

Fake Peppino proceeds to Super Jump at an extreme height.

That's- ...That's not exactly what I... *Sigh* Oh, nevermind. The tinfoilers are going to have a great time with this guy...
...Hey, what sort of costume is that supposed to be, anyway?
Oh, this? I'm supposed to be a gumball.
...
Hey, if you had my job, you'd have just as little time to come up with anything better as I do.

!t'nɘvɒʜ blυoʜƨ υoY ?ɘm moɿꟻ ?tʇiϱ A

Fake Peppino gently places the pumpkin bomb in the Evil Robot's hands.

!nwo γm moɿʇ tʇiϱ ɒ υoγ ɘʞɒt ɘm tɘl ,ɘɿɘʜT

Fake Peppino proceeds to do a Head Toss at Xane!

〈Alright, now we need to make a proper Crafting Table to-〉

Mike and Sheebs then notice a Crafting Table that certainly wasn't there before next to the punch bowl. Mike looks over to Ninja Man Psi.

〈...Where'd this come from?〉

NinPsi shrugs.

〈...Well. Don't look a gift Enderman in the eye, I guess.〉

The dogs use the Crafting Table to make a Wooden Axe. They then turn two more planks into Sticks, and use those sticks and 3 more planks to make a Wooden Pickaxe. For their last move, they begin to Dig & Mine with the Pickaxe.

Ninja Man Psi looks behind himself. Seeing nobody there, he turns back with an annoyed expression.

...I'm going to the punch bowl.

He goes to the punch bowl. Meanwhile, Bt talks to Cara.

I wouldn't say it's inaccurate for current appearances...

Bt directs Cara's attention to Calx's Halloween appearance.

---

Sheebs carries the Bone and Rotten Flesh in his mouth, excitingly showing them to Mike. The copper sword disappears into... somewhere.

〈Mike! Look! I got a bone!〉

Sheebs drops the two items at Mike's feet.

〈Nice! But... What's with this slab of meat?〉
〈...Oh, yeah... I think it's supposed to be food?〉
〈Food...?〉

Mike sniffs at the Rotten Flesh, cringing at the sour smell.

〈Is this what humans consider as food...!?〉
〈...Actually, I think I saw Master do something with this before... Something about a Smoker making this a bit more... Edible? I think?〉

Mike takes a look around.

〈...Well, there doesn't seem to be one around... I think we'll have to work towards making our own.〉

Mike shows the 3 Wood he got.

〈I think this should be a decent start.〉

Bt walks over to the wood and picks it up, inspecting it.

This wood seems familiar... Where did you find it?
〈Well, I was going to try and find a tree more like the ones at home, but after a while, I gave up on that and decided to take from whatever was closest to me at the time.〉

---

The Evil Tree that TRBF made can be seen with several chunks made out of it. However, it still stands somehow.

---

Mike proceeds to convert each individual chunk of Wood into Wooden Planks, ending up with 12 Planks. He then turns two of the planks into 4 Sticks. (Crafting Table x4)

Meanwhile, Fake Peppino looks confused at the two Calx.

?...ɘno lɒɘɿ ɘʜt t'nƨi mɘʜt ʇo ɘno ʜɔiʜW !γɿɿow ʇo ƨɿɘɘʜɔ ʜO

Trying to find Xane (presumably to serve him more strange pizzas), Fake Peppino does a Froggy High Jump in both Xane's and Calx's direction before trying to grab at one of the two with a Grab Dash. I'm aware that Xane can nullify status effects I'm just playing roles here.

...
...Nope. I learned my lesson from that Lapley person; I'm not fighting another clown.
〈Nobody said you had to!~〉

Mike & Sheebs enter the field!

〈Alright, now's our chance to prove ourselves!〉
〈...Uh, how do these fights work...?〉
〈Oh! Uh... I think Master normally hits the enemy with a sword?〉
〈A sword...? Where are we going to find a-〉

Suddenly, a Copper Greatsword lands right behind the two, startling them. They then look over to the direction the sword was thrown, barely catching a glimpse of a figure with red eyes disappearing into the shadows...

〈...That... works.〉

Mike tries to pick it up with his mouth, but finds it a bit too heavy for him.

〈Whew... You know, I'm pretty sure Master had a sword like this before in a backpack... You know, before everything in that bag mysteriously disappeared?〉

Sheebs walks up to the sword and sniffs at it.

〈...It seems to have his scent... Maybe it's the same sword?〉
〈Whaaaaat? That's impossible! How could it possibly end up here of all places?〉
〈Who knows? ...Want me to give it a try?〉
〈Sure! I'll see if I can't find us some materials to make me something a bit lighter...〉

Sheebs manages to pick up the Copper Greatsword, swinging it at Xane while Mike goes to look for some wood (Chop Trees). Meanwhile, Fake Peppino arrives on the scene, as well!

!tnɘmʜƨiɿυon ɘmoƨ mɘʜt lɒɘtƨ blυoʜƨ I !ƨɿɘmotƨυɔ ɘmoƧ !γoį ʇo ƨllɘγ ʜO

Fake Peppino proceeds to serve the group Cursed Pizza, rushing at Xane at high speed (Mach Run) with one of the slices in hand. I can't guarantee that one of the slices will be given to Xane because it's random but still

...Hey, where is Tedd, anyways?
He just left for work.
I see... I suppose that makes sense; I wouldn’t imagine that the Grim Reaper would be getting days off so easily.

Sheebs proceeds to perk up a bit.

〈...Something’s up.〉
You can tell?
〈The nose doesn’t lie, miss. I don’t know if I can say it’s something sinister or not, though...〉
I guess we can only hope it doesn’t cause any problems...

---

*Translated from dogspeak.

---

〈...Of course, it took a while to actually find something to do. But we’ve been exploring the streets, meeting a few people... Eventually, we wound up here, only to be chased after by that guy.〉
How did you guys know about the parts you weren’t there for?

Everyone looks over to Phantom Reggae.

...What? I was taking out the trash. Taking out the trash, SQUAWK!
〈...Is he your cousin or something?〉
Something like that.
So, uh... What’s the deal with the other guy?
!tnɘmγolqmɘnυ ɒ ɿoʇ γlqqɒnυ ot ɘɿɘʜ m'I
No one knows. We can’t really tell what he’s saying.
He. Is speaking. Backwards!
Well, he looks like a chef... Maybe he could help in the kitchen? I could use an extra hand regarding the cooking.

The group steps outside of the pizzeria to see all the party set up.

...
Well, I gotta admit; That living corpse knows how to set up for a party.
I’d say. This seems like a great party!
(Hm... I thought I sent Fehta an invite, but he doesn’t seem to be around... He’s probably busy with something, though.)

Beta Shadow leaves the house.




Mike sighs and lies down, defeated.










Mike thinks for a moment, then gets up.






Suddenly, a knock is heard on the door... Which causes the two dogs to start barking like there’s no tomorrow.



A strange figure simply decides to let himself in.









The figure then looks around the room, seeing a bed, a carpet, a staircase leading into a basement, a jukebox with a chest of records next to it, a fireplace, a workstation consisting of a workbench, a crafting table, a furnace, a smoker, and an anvil. And despite everything listed, the room simply feels so... empty.












The two dogs turn to the figure.




The figure then pulls out what appears to be a stolen relic, aiming it at the wall behind the two and firing it, creating a portal.



The two dogs enter the portal, of which the figure then closes with a wave of his hand.




The figure uses a dark spell to conceal himself. Beta Shadow then enters through the door.

...
...Uh... Can I help you, sir?
...

The figure then turns aro-OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT THING

?tnɘmbnɒdƨib ƨiʜt ʇo ɿɘnwoƨib ɘʜt υoγ ɘɿA

Spooked by this half-baked monstrosity, Ninja Man Psi holds his katana at it.

Jǫkull proceeds to bring the two dogs over.

〈Has anyone ever told you that you talk funny?〉*
〈Why’d you bring us back to that guy? He was the one attacking us for no reason!〉

Banetem does a double take with the other dog.

〈What’s that guy even saying, anyways? Tfl... Dewollanu... Tawn...?〉
Yeah, we don’t know, either. He’s a bit of a weirdo, that guy.
I’m pretty sure he’s just speaking backwards-
〈Wait, you guys can understand us?〉
Oh, yeah, pretty much anyone can!
〈Cool! But how?〉
...Huh. How DO we all understand? I mean, I’m a robot and all, but that doesn’t necessarily explain everyone else...
You mean it’s not a regular thing for you to be understood where you’re from? I guess this means they’re not just from some roleplay universe...
〈Nope. Our master typically doesn’t understand a word we’re saying.〉
Master...?
Wait, don’t tell me... His name is Beta Shadow, isn’t it?
〈Yeah, how’d you guess?〉
There’s been a lot of alternate universe counterparts of him around, lately. Though to be fair, none of them are as blocky as you are.
I believe they came from one of those “Minecraft” worlds.



〈Hey, I’m still as much of a Shiba as any other from my world!〉
The world he’s from is probably modded... Which actually begs the question: How did you two get here?
〈Well...〉

Phantom Reggae appears to be running the shop, with Halloween decorations placed all over. A lot of customers are swarming the place.

You know, you really came around at the right time. We’ve really been racking in the dough this Halloween, and I mean both Zenny AND pizza dough!
Isn’t this the same pizza you make for us in raids? Should we really be giving this to normal people?
Don’t worry! I don’t use the same ingredients for these as I do the ones for raids.
...Somehow, that’s even more concerning.

Suddenly, the group hears a strange, indecipherable voice in the back... Followed by dogs barking?

...What the...?

The group goes to investigate while Phantom Reggae continues serving customers.

---

*Yes, this is a real viking celebration.

As Phantom Reggae exits from Nath's body, Bt and Jǫkull looks over to Scales and Sam. (Nitron P appears to be talking to Vat Man about advertising deals in the background.)

Well, seems like all's well that ends well, huh?
Couldnen't havenn saidden it bettennr mysennlf, frienden.

Phantom Reggae then spots TRBF trying to sneak off.

...I know I said I was gonna ignore him, but we ain't done yet.

Suddenly, Phantom Reggae appears in front of TRBF.

Hey. You've seem to have, once again, caused us quite the trouble here recently. Quite the trouble, SQUAWK!
And seeing as it's that time of year... I'll just have to give you a little "treat" for all the "trickery" you've done to us.

Phantom Reggae then lifts up both wings... Which then paranormally shift into a large pair of human hands, which then grab TRBF tightly. The rest of Phantom Reggae then shifts and deforms, becoming something larger and freakish, his legs seemingly disappearing into the rest of his body. Phantom Reggae's jaw proceeds to open wider than it possibly could, the bottom beak reaching all the way to the floor. Inside Phantom Reggae's gaping maw, a dimensional vortex opens up.

TRBF is then slowly dragged into the gaping maw and is sucked up into the dimensional vortex, disappearing. Phantom Reggae then returns to normal.

There! Problem solved! Problem solved!
But where could you have sent him...?
Exactly where'd you expect.
...Which is... Where, exactly?
Oh, right. You weren't there for that. Weren't there.
Well, let's just say...

---

Suddenly, TRBF finds himself back in his own cell, which seems to have undergone some upgrades as of recent, with the security of the cell being increased tenfold. He can see the rest of my cast, having returned from vacation, from just outside the cell.

...You guys think this will really hold him this time?

Ninja Man Psi and regular Reggae shrug, and the group leaves.

It seems that Mighty has proven that Dord is an independent Chord who needs no Reggae Overdrive. However, he typically doesn't seem to accept the boss role, so unless he states otherwise, it seems that our Spooky Month Raid Boss will come from the living Dedd.

Whether or not said boss will actually be a thematically Halloween one, however, is yet to be seen... At this point, prepare for anything, ladies and gents.

@Master Alicia and ch4s3man : Test over, pencils down.

i'm working on the final results but even if i finish them before gamma makes a proper conclusion i won't post them until he does

Kirby looks over to the same cathedral.

Poyo... Poyo poyo poyo poy poyo poyo. (Yeah... Something about this place feels important to whatever's going on here.)
Poy... Poy poyo poyo... poy poyo poyo... (I... have a bad feeling... but I don't know why...)
...Poy poyo poyo poy poyo poyo. (...But we won't save anyone standing here worried about it.)

...I am a Psychic, not a Psychiatrist. I can read minds and see into multiple possible futures; I can't give you life advice.
Well, being a Psychic, you'd know the mind better than literally anyone else I'd ask.
*Sigh* Well, I can already forsee you won't leave me alone until I do so... You never do. And I can also tell that there's no possible future where this completely pointless timeline (which literally only exists for your irl self to show off his fancy new mugs) will continue if I send you to talk to someone else, so I'll see what I can do.

Beta Shadow lays back on the nearby couch as Psi hovers his hands over his head, his hands and eyes, as well as Beta's forehead, glowing purple as he does so.

...Hm... I see... Yes, that would do it.

The glows fade as Psi puts his hands down.

...You're mentally stressed.
Stressed?
Yes. Honestly, I'm not sure how anyone else couldn't've figured it out.

You've gotten over your desires to hide from your mistakes and responsibilities, as well as the guilt and self-doubt that caused said behavior that stemmed from your aforementioned mistakes. Which is good.
But you've allowed yourself to replace them with a concern about what comes next. Between not being able to beat Regulus, having needed to form Issoro to stop Evil Mario, and the scare caused by the appearance of Trio- the only villain in these roleplays to succeed in destroying everything, when he wasn't even trying to- you constantly worry that there will be a time where an even worse threat than all of them will come, and you'd be forced into a situation where you'd face it alone, so you'd have to prepare or else.
...And yes, it is extremely likely that there will be foes far stronger than what have been faced before... It's the only natural progression in this childish powercreeping competition we call a "roleplay"...
...The chances of you facing any of that on your own is astronomical. There's not a single force out there that could ever force you to fight without backup.
And even if you do end up alone, I doubt it'll ever be against someone you won't be able to take.
You really believe in my power that much?
No, I believe that the logic of this world is unrealistically bull, and that it will simply let the hero beat impossible odds for literally no reason if it means said world won't be destroyed.
Oh.

Psi proceeds to walk over to a teapot, then pours warm tea into a cup.

But regardless. I think you should spend less time worrying about how to unlock Sei and more time using it to relax. Trio's gone at the moment, and literally every other ongoing threat is already being dealt with by other people; You have no reason to worry about it, or get dragged into any of it.

As he talks, he turns toward Beta Shadow...

Personally, I like to read a good book while sipping a nice cup of-

...not noticing that Beta Shadow has already left.

...I can literally see into multiple different futures. How did I not see that coming?

Galit Gun - (Flame/Energy) A blast of pure Lit energy.
Variation: Elemental Galit Gun

Lit - (Flame) A form of Meme energy generated by one's own awesomeness. Moves infused with this energy will Burn even those who would be immune to the status effect, including Flame cores. (Is NOT an Artificial Element.)

Wishing Star Fireball - (Flame/Wishes) A large fireball imbued with the power of wishes. Unique to Mario and Luigi.

Upon hearing the Waddle Dee's voice, Kirby- as well as Elfilin, who still seems to be tagging along- turns toward B. Dee.

Poyo! (Dee!)

Happy to see his friend, Kirby waves excitedly.

Poy poyo poy poyo poyo! Poy poyo poy? (It's great to see you're still alright! What brings you here?)

Kirby then notices the parasol B. Dee has.

...Poyoooo? (Is that a new Parasol? Where'd you get it?)

*Reference: Super Mario RPG

**To avoid future confusion with |P| plotlines, I decided to make a new labels for collaborative, yet privated plotlines: With |R| (Restricted) plotlines, the same restrictions as |P| applies, but still allows for the inclusion of other users with the permission of the plot's initiator. Perhaps don't expect Brash to open the doors for anyone else, though.

(This is mostly a test to see if it sticks; I wanted to ask Brash for his input, first, but I forgot to actually wait for said input before posting)
