Nah. I don't really care all that much for what's going on with all of this to know the "why" of anything. I was just told to keep watch around here, and the only reason I do it is because I'm not really doing anything else with my time.
Anyways, it's not my problem anymore, so if you wanna go and follow it or chase after some other creature, be my guest. I'm going back inside to play one of Missingno.'s physical Rom Hack ports.

J-H heads back into the HQ.

---

A blur can be seen hitting what appears to be an immovable object. Eventually, the blur comes to a complete halt.

( it... None of my attacks have done ANYTHING to him! ...And to make matters worse, he hasn't done a SINGLE thing to react. Could his signature technique truly be unstoppable...?)



Meanwhile, Omega's opponent simply stands there, completely statue-esque...

...



...Oh, to hell with this.

Full Release Element then proceeds to charge up a powerful attack, until-

Renough. Rhere is ro reed to overexert rourself over a rimple rharring match.
...

Omege Element powers down to base.

...I suppose it's for the best. I would've screamed my head off if that last attack ended up not working.

Omega then flies down to Luigi.

...HEY. Snap back to reality, Green Bean. You've won.
...Hm? Oh! Did I win?
I... LITERALLY just said you did.

Luigi jumps slightly in celebration.

Wahoo! That's another win for Luigi!

Meanwhile, the other figure in the area is approached...

Hah! That'll be, like, 10 Scooby Snacks, Scoobs!



...



Scooby reaches into some kind of hammerspace and pulls out 10 Scooby Snacks, putting them in Shaggy's hands.

It's like I told you, man; My top student will, like, always top yours!
...Rhee hee hee... Rat reast rhy rhudent ractually rearned RWO ransformations. Rours rannot reven ruse Rultra Rinstinct rho far.
Like, maybe not now... But I'm sure he will someday, man. Even if it's in his own... Like, unique way.

Absolutely Nothing - (None) A state of being that requires the user to empty their mind and achieve perfect stillness. In this state, reality seems to bend to the user's favor, causing them to achieve victory in whatever it is they are doing with a complete lack of effort. This ability is difficult to master, and even then it requires so much luck, even complete mastery of the technique won't guarantee a 100% success rate.

*Reminder: Canonically, all of the original Angels and Gods of Destruction from Dragon Ball Super are dead, having sacrificed themselves to seal away El Grande Padre (See Part I, Page 158, Post #5 ). Scooby-Doo is an exception because he did not participate in this sacrifice due to not being present.

...Agony... what? What kind of nonsense are you going on about!?

Sonic.EXE holds up the Boyfriend that he is currently choking.

The only source of "agony"* around here that I'm aware of is THIS little annoyance.
...Yeah, no, he has NOTHING to do with all this "Agony" stuff. But I still don't think we should ask him for any favors, though. If ONLY because he's just an annoying tryhard that's too edgy to be considered a horror character.
OH, so we're going THERE, are we!? Because if we're talking about "edgy tryhards", why not try a little less red and black, and a little more of an actually ORIGINAL color!?
Oh my god...
You're one to talk about "original", pal! The only people who would EVER take you seriously are children on the playground!
At least they KNOW me. I find it very unlikely that ANYONE ever even HEARD of you before.
Hey, can we just not-
Actually, as a matter of fact... Ever heard of the Red Death Incident**? So why don't you go crawl back to your land of CHEAP- JUMPSCARES and HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD, whatever the hell THAT means.
OH, I AM GONNA-

Suddenly, two glitchy tendrils grab both Beta Devil and Sonic.EXE, slamming them into the ground. This consequently causes Sonic.EXE to drop Boyfriend.

Would both of you kindly SHUT UP!?

The two demons fall silent. The tendrils then disappear.

Thank you. Now then, Mr. Sonic.EXE, if you would be so kind, we would like to borrow your pocket dimension for a while.

Sonic.EXE stands back up, dusting himself off.

And why exactly would I do THAT?
Poyo, poy poyoyo poyo, poyo poy. Poy poyo, poyoyo poyo. Poy poyo poyo, poyo... Poyo?〈Look, if you let us stay for a while, then we'll try to make it quick. And even so, we won't impede on anything. But your place is the best we can think of right now to discuss what we're going to do about the Agony Demon. So... please?〉
...Sorry, you lost me at "Poyo poyo".

Sonic.EXE sighs.

) ...FINE. I'll let you stick around my realm for as long as you need to, and nothing more. But on ONE condition...

Sonic.EXE then points at BF.

HE gets to stay with ME. I have unfinished business with him.
〈What, still not tired of seeing me humiliate your friends?〉
Do NOT make me change my mind.

---

*Agony the emotion, not Agony the plot device.
**The public name for an event during the events of the Beta Diablo Arc where Beta Diablo- a form of Beta Devil- made red beams of light rain down everywhere across the world, inflicting people with Anti-Omni Corruption or simply killing people, causing considerable amounts of destruction. The effects of this event has long since been cleared out, however.

Well, that's one way to solve a potential problem, I suppose.

Things grow awkwardly silent.

...
...So...

J-H turns to shi-Rho.

...Is there... Anything you like to do for fun? Just curious.

---

I see...
...Well, normally, I'd try to reassure you... But, truth be told, it's probably safer for you to keep out for the rest of this.
I know how that sounds, seeing as you just want to help your friend... But, truth be told, there's a slight bit of an ulterior motive to me telling you this.
You see, that "Beta Devil" guy... The energy he uses in battle is one that can be quite dangerous around Limited.*
...And with the sort of threat we're about to be facing... It may be dangerous of you to be fighting alongside him, for ALL parties involved.

...Of course, I'm not asking you to straight-up abandon Cyber Lucina. I would never suggest such a thing.
...But if I may make a suggestion... Perhaps, you could leave Cyber Lucina in our care? We do want to find a way to keep both her and Lucina alive, too, after all.
I promise, we will do everything we can to help, and to make sure nothing bad happens. You can trust me on that. Helping others is what I like to do best...
...It's what I was made for.**

---

Well, the safest place I could think to go is Beta's Pizzeria, but I doubt they'll let me in there anytime soon. Same could probably be said for any other "hero" I could think of.
Well, where would you usually go?
Believe me, it's not a place any of you would want to be.
Well, our base should be safe, so maybe there?
Actually, I got a message from J-H earlier saying that he just had to deal with an Agony creature, so maybe not.
...J-H?
Oh, yeah... Apparently, that Mark-X droid we had around became the "rebirth of Jazz Hands" or something. Goes by "J-H Reborn" now.
...Right... Well, THAT'S something I'll have to look into later.
...Hm...

Orchestra turns to BF.

Is there any place you can think of?

BF thinks for a moment.

〈Nothing really comes to mi-〉

Suddenly, a portal opens as a hand grabs BF by the throat.

WE'RE NOT DONE YET, YOU LITTLE !

Sonic.EXE then notices the group looking at him.

...What are you staring at?
...No.
Hey, it would be safe from the prying eyes of that demon... I would think.
WHAT are you talking about?

---

*During the events of the Dead Zone Arc, it is revealed that crossing Limited and Anti-Omni energy (the energy utilized by Beta Devil) can lead to a catastrophic explosion. It is unknown if any of the known variants of Limited- including the one that makes up Windaz- have been engineered in a way that prevents this from occurring.
**I am going to consider whatever response Brash has to this to occur before everyone moves to a different locale.

I'm sorry if this sounds a bit presumptuous, but I can't help but notice how nervous you seem to be recently, and I know it's at least in part because of him...

Techno notions towards Beta Devil.

...But, if I may ask... Is all this Agony stuff starting to get a bit much for you?

---

The group turns to Aqua Dolphin.

...Well, that's an unoriginal name.
Ninja Man. Sigma Virus. Circuit. Shadow Chomper.
I retract my statement.
Well, Aqua. Seeing as you now have the floor, care to explain what your plan is to handle this Agony Demon?

---

J-H holds up an arm to block the bite, putting a Jazz Barrier around it for good measure.

No. Bad boy. We don't bite. Down, boy.

J-H then grabs the Velociraptor by the head with his other arm before slamming it into the ground.

Now, roll over.

He then kicks the Velociraptor in the side, causing it to roll into the nearest rock formation. He then pulls out something in the hand he used to block earlier.

Now, FETCH.

J-H then throws a barrage of Jazz Grenades at the Velociraptor!

---

Jazz Grenades - (Laser/Explode) Tosses a widespread of up to 5 bombs that explode with laser energy; Covers a wide range.

The gang arrives on the scene.

Alright, gang. Let's get ready to take down this... This...
...Who is this?
Oh, that's QuintAnother. He's another one of those Reapers, and...
...
...I'm going to be completely honest, I don't really know anything else about him beyond that.
I'm going to assume that includes any advantages we could use against him.
You say that like it isn't already like that all the time.
Fair, fair.
So ends our moment's peace, I suppose.

J-H avoids the poisonous spit with ease.

Cute.

J-H then warps himself behind the Velociraptor and proceeds to grab it by the tail before flipping over his shoulder, slamming it onto the ground.

---

...So, basically, we're dealing with a demon that's too stubborn to stay down for good.
Sound familiar?
Look, it's clear to me that sealing this thing over and over again isn't going to do nothing. And I see no conceivable way that this is going to be another one of those "redeemable villains" like King II or Zalgo...
...So, I'd say our best option... Is to exterminate this thing once and for all.
Have you seriously not payed any attention at all? Even if we kill it, not even the Omni-King could destroy its spirit.
Oh, please. That was the old Omni King.
...Uh...
Poyo.〈Zeno-sama.〉
Right, Zeno. (I'm not calling him Zeno-sama.)
Anyways, Kirby is supposed to be stronger, right? That's an advantage that we have that those "Neo Spacians" don't.
That's Kirby's potential power. Kirby doesn't know how to actually tap into that, yet.
So we teach him to do that, dumb. And then, once Kirby knows how to go full Omni King Mode, we unleash him on the creature, and boom! Problem solved.
Even if we could, there's no way we'd have enough time to do that. And even then, we don't know if that would even work. It's clear that, even if the demon were to still have its power, it's still not stronger than the Omni-King, so it's clearly not an issue of power.

Bevil crosses his arms, scoffing.

Well, it's like I said: Even if we just seal it away again, it's only going to free itself and be a problem again. We need a permanent solution. So unless one of you have any suggestions, having Kirby destroy it is our best option.

Boyfriend raises his hand.

No, you can't challenge it to a rap battle.

Boyfriend lowers his hand back down.

---

As the rest of the group discuss strategy, a hand gently taps Windaz on the shoulder.

Hey. Can we talk for a moment?

As the group heads on down the tower, Missingno. suddenly catches up with the others.

Hey, there. What did I miss?

Missingno. takes note of the presence of Beta Devil and "Kirby".

...A lot, I would presume.
Well, some big robot- which actually turned out to be a small robot in a big armor- tried to invade the town, only for Lucemon- one of the Agony Creatures- and Beta Devil to deal with it.
And now, we're going to follow them to talk about something regarding Agony.
...Why...?
Because apparently according to Lucemon, we have a bigger problem than Agony right now. One that is after the Omni King.
Of course there is. But are we sure we can even trust him?
Well, Lucemon did want to stop Mega Titan from invading the town, and he seems just about as concerned with this threat as we are, so I suppose it's a "our goals align" sort-of thing. We'll have to see about afterwards, but for now, cooperation is needed.
I was talking about Beta Devil.

Beta Devil flips Missingno. the bird.

Oh, that. Don't worry about him; I've got my point across with him.
Ohhh... So you used that, then. Dang, I kinda wish I could've seen that. I can almost imagine the look on his face.
Actually, I took a screenshot of my POV the moment I gutpunched him. I'll send it over to you when I have the chance.
〈Hey, so, a bit out of the loop here... What exactly is this "Agony" stuff, anyway?〉
Kid, if we were to explain the whole story to you, we'd be here for hours.

---

Eventually, the group reaches the bottom.

Alright, Lucemon... What is it that you need to tell us?

---

A large blast hits the animal, knocking it back.

Don't bother trying to explain yourself. I've been tasked with keeping watch around here...

J-H proceeds to step out from the shadows.

...And lemme tell you: I was itching for SOMETHING to happen.

Beta Devil powers down and falls to the ground, kneeling.

Did you really think I would challenge you without a plan in mind, first? I've been preparing for you the moment you crawled your way out of Hell.
I KNEW you wouldn't treat me like a threat. You'd underestimate me. You ALWAYS do. And that's what I was reliant on.
This is... impossible... You... You can't...
You're right, Devil. I CAN'T go Ultra Instinct. But in my research of Chaos Zone's history, I have come to learn some things about Ultra and Berserk Instinct.

---

---

Knowing this, I have developed a technology that replicates that aura and applied it to myself. As a countermeasure against YOU, knowing fully well that you would NEVER waste your "Ikari" form on someone like me.
...Of course, I should clarify that this is NOT the real Ultra Instinct in any shape or form. This... "Instinctual Aura", as I will call it, does not give me the same benefits as the real deal.
It DOES, however, give me the ability to hurt YOU. And that's what matters, at least to me.

Jazz turns off the aura.

Now, then... Are we going to behave?
...

Beta Devil slowly stands up.

...Fine. I'll leave them alone... For now.

...MAN! With your meager power? Face-to-face against my Ikari form, which FAR surpasses it? ESPECIALLY with how much I'd have outclassed you WITHOUT it? MAN, you've got quite the gull! I respect that.

Unphased, Jazz begins to approach Beta Devil.

...Fine. In that case... I'll give you a handicap.

As Jazz grows closer, Beta Devil reverts from his Ikari form into his Full Release form.

Well, here it is. The Impenetrable Mastered Berserk Instinct. In this form, you could blast me at full force with your pathetic little lasers at point-blank, and I wouldn't feel a THING.

Jazz is now directly in front of Full Release Devil.

...
...If, by some miracle, you can hurt me in this state-

Before Frevil could finish his sentence, he feels a fist hit him square in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Which puts him in a state of shock for two reasons:

1. It was a VERY hard hit.
2. He actually FELT it.

...Wh...
...

Jazz turns to Lucemon.

...Because if what you're saying about this "demon" is right... Then we have a bigger problem than Agony to worry about now. And if we're going to stop it... Then chances are, we're going to have to work together.

Beta Devil scoffs.

Oh, PLEASE. Whatever supposed "threat" this INFERIOR demon might have, I couldn't care less.
'Course, I couldn't care less about any of this "Agony" stuff, either. But since Beta Shadow's apparently too busy training for a threat that's never going to arrive, he's left me stuck with cleanup duty.

Jazz drops his barrier, though doesn't completely lower his guard.

Look, I know how much of a threat Agony can be if left unchecked. But right now, whoever's after Kirby cannot be allowed to succeed. If you're REALLY here to help-
Don't lecture me with your 30 dollar haircut, the Agony dies!
Just listen, alright!? I'm sure that Beta Shadow would-
Well, I am NOT Beta Shadow. Nor am I like ANY of you braindead heroes with your sense of "mercy" or "compromise". And seeing as I am NOT like any of you, I am going to continue handling these problems of yours my OWN way. Which means killing ANYONE I must, until there is no trace of Agony left in this world.
Besides, even when we DO stop this so-called "demon"... What would there be to stop these Agony creatures from being a threat again once it's all over? It'd be better to eradicate them now BEFORE they even THINK to get that chance.
And for you to think they WON'T would be hypocritical of you... After all, I know for a fact that you believe in that very same issue with ME... And believe me, once I finally find a way to surpass the odds once and for all, you'll be RIGHT.

...
...Heh.
Well, I'll give you credit, Devil... You're right about one thing. I DON'T trust you. Never had, not from the moment Beta Shadow decided to keep you around as a "rival".

Jazz's stance becomes more tense.

But still... That demon's still a threat, and these guys just so happen to know more about it than we do. So if you want to kill them... You'll have to go through me, first.
Jazz, wait-!



Jazz and Beta Devil stare each other down for a minute straight.

...
...
...Heh.
Heheheh... Eheheheheh...
EHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

...Right. With THAT out of the way...

Beta Devil then turns towards Lucemon.

I can only assume you're the leader of these "Agony Creatures," correct? Or at the very least a powerful affiliate...

He outstretches a palm at him.

So why don't I get to why I'm REALLY here... Starting with YOU.

Before Lucemon could even react, an extremely large ki blast is fired at Lucemon, causing a large explosion.

...But when the dust clears...

...

Standing in front of Lucemon, Jazz stares coldly at Beta Devil.

And just what do you think you're doing?
I should be asking you the same thing.

---

The White Hand, having previously taken on the form of a mutilated Girlfriend*, reverts to normal before collapsing onto the ground in defeat.

...I... Lost...?
〈You know it, you undead creep!〉
...I see. You are indeed more of a fighter than I had anticipated... Very well. I concede.
But do come back again sometime, won't you? I don't get company all that often... And I would love to have you for dinner sometime.
Right...

Missingno. turns towards the exit.

Well, I should head back with the others. Feel free to join me, if you want.
〈...Well, it's not like I have anywhere else to be...〉

The two leave the area.







...You let them get away.
Well, what else could be done? Without my Pokemon, there is not much else I can do.
And yet, you didn't even make an attempt to try. Had that Missingno. not interfere, you could've had him in your clutches.
And why is this important to you, anyways?
...Hm... I suppose you're right in that regard. Very well, then... You may rest.

Buried Alive retreats into the ground.

...The results of this experiment were... Interesting. But the part that catches my intrigue the most... Is the part that was never meant to be involved in it in the first place.
...In due time, Missingno. I will make you pay for what you've done to me. To ALL of us.

---

*Of which both it and the form it takes in the Hypno's Lullaby mod is a bit too graphic than I feel I could get away with, which is why it did not make any physical appearance in the roleplay outside of text.

While Justice Man is not actually in the same area as Shock Man, he is able to hear everything that is happening through some form of communication program.

* Interlopers, hm? I don't suppose they're here to join our cause... Very well, then.
Shock Man, you are to eliminate these new threats. If they end up causing you too much problem, contact the others as backup.
No matter what they may throw at us, they will never beat us. For we stand united under our righteous goal...
...And those who dare to defy justice will fall.

---

*I want to state for the record that I have decided that this particular instance of Justice Man is different from the one from The Chaos Zone.

I see... So, you cannot cross dimensions on your own, after all. In that case...

Piracy Sonic then snaps his fingers, causing a Warp Ring to the Rock Force universe to appear.

There we go, this should cover it. I've chosen a stage at random, so I don't know what your exact location will be, but it should be within the same universe, nevertheless.
Good luck, you three! I'll be rooting for you from here!
...
...Keep out of trouble.

However, Piracy Sonic did not seem to be arou-

Suddenly, Piracy Sonic warps in.

Whew, that was fun! I should visit Hallyboo more oft-

Piracy Sonic then notices the Skull Bros. and Enker.

...You're still here? It's been over a year, I figured you three would've been gone by now.

Piracy Sonic then does... something. I'm not sure what, but somehow, he now knows what it was the three had said as if he was already there when they said it.

Well, I didn't really have any suggestions myself, so I suppose it's a good thing you didn't need me to come to a conclusion of my own.
...Also, if you're wondering about the situation regarding Proto MKII, it may interest you to know that...



...Yep. That "Proto MKII" fellow is gone now, possibly for good! ...Well, maybe. You can't quite tell with these guys. Though, it's probably safe to assume that you won't have to deal with him ever again. Though, if you ask me, I don't really think he'd be too interested in chasing you guys down, anyways.
Anyways, good luck on that whole "saving your friends" thing!

Darkrai moves 2 spaces right and picks up the Extra Life.

Can’t be too careful, after all.

Piplup moves a space left and a space down.

Triton Bubble uses Experience Boost!

@QuintAnother : I'm afraid that icons/mugshots are a necessity for participation.

Duo and King were OK in that regard since King has one in the MMRPG database, and I already have my own mugshot for Duo. However, your replacements don't have anything I can work with, and even if you gave me a physical description, I will NOT be making them for you.

Additionally, this should've been said much, much earlier, but you don't get to choose the weapons you start with, either. The weapons you start with, as well as the ones you learn as you level up, is based upon your stat boon (or lack thereof) and your core types. Your abilities are also affected in a similar way. The only way to learn the ability/weapons you want is to find it through Battle Chips (BCs) and Ability Upgrades (AUs), and to be of whatever core is compatible to your own. And even then, you have limited ability/weapon spaces to work with.
(EDIT: I just noticed that Lushkk already explained all of this; However, I'd argue that a new post is more noticeable than an edit)

I know it's strict, but in a way, that is part of the challenge: Unlike TTC where the goal is to use whatever OP strategy you can pull out your to deal as much damage as possible, the goal of RMMD is to get through to the end of the dungeon and complete the mission with what resources you have among your team of 2-4. If there is anything you don't understand, I will be happy to provide. Otherwise, you're stuck with what you get.

I'll add your team to Electrical Tower once you have one with existing icons/mugshots of a sort. (Whether you include them in your post or not)

---

@Lushkk :

To answer your first question, yes. Thank you for pointing it out, that has been fixed.

To answer your other question, the answer is also yes; However, they’ll have to already have both of their ability slots filled in, first. Otherwise, it will automatically fill in their second ability slot. (Of course, you’ll have to recruit them first, regardless.)

Also, since Tesstra has more speed than Parallax now, she technically is supposed to go first. But since she cannot move to that spot without the Blader dying, first, I’ll make an exception.

...Hey, Darkrai. Since we don’t really have much for the main post, you wouldn’t mind if I-

It really doesn’t matter to me either way.

...Alllllright, then.



Darkrai moves 3 spaces down and 3 spaces right.

Piplup moves 2 spaces right, a space up, and another space right.
Piplup picks up the Battery Circuit!

Let’s skip over the Enemy’s turn this round, shall we? It’s not like anything’s going to happen.

...Eh, ok.



...Hm?
...Oh! How interesting...
I doubt that they’ll be able to catch up with myself and Piplup...

---

Mission Objective: Defeat the outlaw Picket Man! (F4)
Which you probably won’t be able to achieve before Darkrai, but it’s technically still the map’s mission...

---

*Note: I decided that for enemies, held Extra Lives only have a 25% chance of reviving the enemy; Otherwise, the Extra Life is dropped for player units to pick up.

@Nims2DR :

...IIIIIIIIII don’t know... We kiiiiinda have a “stick to Robot Masters/Mechas only” sort-of policy for this thing... I mean, Darkrai gets a pass because he’s in a sort-of Robot Master armor... thing...

Oh, come on... He’s been waiting for 6 months, and you’re just gonna turn him down like that?

I mean, it’s not like he can’t play, but-

And just what difference does it make, anyways? All their stats are in order, the typings are different like they are meant to... The icons are not even close to the game grid’s 32x32-per-space size, but we can always just rescale them. And besides, with me around, even with the “Robot Master Suit” excuse, it is just a liiiiittle bit hypocritical.

...And it’s probably going to be months until the post after THIS one, anyways*, so really, it doesn’t matter.

...I dunno... Beta, what’s your say on this?

*Shrugs while drinking Dr. Pepper*

...Well, I guess that settles it, then? But only on the grounds that we agree that these will be robots rather than their... Canonical? Counterparts. Organic beings just do NOT fit in the RMMD canon.

...I mean, that Ink Armor... thing probably isn’t all that organic to begin with, but whatever floats your boat.





...Does this place even have a mission objective?
Nope. It did, but Brash’s team already took care of that quite some time ago.
...Well, then. I guess... Just have fun? Maybe we can find you something to do around here...

---

*Disclaimer: I have zero intention of making it months until I post again. I’m not making any promises on more frequent updates, but I’m not making promises on the opposite, either.

(OOC) That moment when you do a Halloween event and you don’t even make it to Halloween.

I’m not even going to blame TTC for this; Every amount of ignorance towards this thread is of my own laziness.

The Halloween robots that I have already placed on the maps will remain, but I will add no more than that.

Additionally, for those of you who have been trapped on their floors since... forever (namely, Tedd and Malware), I am going to double your movement speed until you actually leave the floor, just to speed things along.

I have decided 2 things about RSB:

1. For now on, he will be brought back to the main account’s post(s) rather than the Jazz + alt account’s post with Darkrai.
2. I will not automate his turn, nor will I make the enemy units move this round; I’ll leave it as-is so that RSB may pick up from where he left off.

I will, however, leave his map from the previous post here for him to look at should he decide to make his turn this go-round.



...While I am at it, I will also leave a reminder here to RedBomber that since he completed his mission on the last turn, he is currently not in a dungeon and is free to either join the other two in the story mission (assuming said other two are actually still active) or go anywhere else.

Speaking of the story mission...





Story Objective: Defeat the Mysterious Beast! (F?)
