Fairy's Forest As Wario, hurries along, he hears a beeping noise. It seems to be a device.

Huh?

He looks at the device. Sure enough, it's a transmission from Waluigi.

...

The transmission ends. Wario groans.

Can I not go one week without being the victim of a goddamn burglary!?

As Wario prepares to move on, hordes of enemies step out of the shadows, surrounding him.

...That lanky lummox had better be working on things this instant.

Feel free to join if you want, but don't go absolutely bonkers.

F in the chat for the late Rock Light, who had a young lifespan of 19XX to 20XX.

edit: Here, have New!Prototype.


Also joke alt J-Type. His hobbies consist of meditating, meditating, and telling people to get lost.

Fairy's Forest Alright, this fight is over. Leave, and preferably never come back.

Urgh... this fairy chick isn't playing guys!
Yeah. Perhaps we should take this time to leave.
Well, if you guys really think so, I guess that means we're out of here.
...
...W-wow. I didn't think things would go that smoothly--

Immediately Wanda is punched from behind with an electricized fist, nearly knocking her cold.

Ha! As if, girlie!

While Wanda slowly attempts to get up, the figure responsible steps on her back, keeping her on the ground.

Hah! How miserable. One measly hit and you're already down?
N-ngh...
This was all too easy! Not just taking you out by ourselves, but framing that yellow lump of lard so you would infiltrate him for us.
Y-you... won't get away with this...
Oh? Is that so? And just who's going to stop us?

---

Fairy's Forest - Entrance Alright! This looks like the place. Time to hurry up, already!

Wario runs at full speed ahead, until a voice stops him dead in his tracks.

Excuse me? Sir?
Huh!?
Could you... maybe point me in the direction of Furinkan High? I'm kinda lost.
...Yeah, sure! But directions won't come free, kid! How much ya got on you?
...Oh! Well...

The stranger approaches Wario, pulling out a wallet...

---

Wario proceeds to be running along, laughing, this time without any looming figure nearby.

WAHAHAH! I can't believe that chump took the bait! I had no idea what I was talking about!

Obviously nothing special, just a few sprites used for profile shenanigans

---

edit: Here, have Mega Man being impaled.

Triton Bubble moves two spaces up. Identically, Aqua Fishtot moves a space right, the latter whom using a Buster Charge.

...

For heaven's sakes, will you quiet yourself!?

Counter Base - Training Grounds X-Kai teleports back, where he and the other Counter Hunters were previously training.

Alright, you three, I'm ba--

Before he can finish, he finds himself leaping to the side, dodging Violen, who was sent flying back. X-Kai turns to the direction he came from.

Just what's going on here!?
What's going on is a free ticket to Painsville, courtesy from us!

The figure responsible dashes in X-Kai's direction, rapidly slicing away at him, with X-Kai dodging each attempt before finally clashing with his X-Rapier, putting the two in a struggle.

Hmph. Not bad. About as good as I remember... X!
X!?
Quit being so oblivious! I know it's you! Oh, how the mighty Reploid hath fallen!
Enough!

X-Kai breaks off the struggle. The figure tries hitting him with his sword again. but X-Kai ducks and retaliates with an uppercut straight to the jaw!

I don't know who told you that lie, but you're obviously misinformed. Not only that, but you've now trespassed unto our headquarters. Which brings me to what I'm about to say...

X-Kai points his buster at the figure. Agile drops down besides X-Kai, while Violen approaches as well.

Take yourself and your friend with you and leave.

A second figure zips besides the first one.

No way, pal! We're on to you and your stupid crew! We know what you're up to!
You really want us out of here? It won't happen without a fight.

Triton Bubble moves three spaces left. Aqua Fishtot moves one space left, three up, and one right.

Not taking any chances ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

---

This guy a friend of yours?
I was about to ask you the same question.
Oh, don't worry. I've gotten to know the both of you in the past.
But at the moment, I can't help but notice. Neither of you seem to be in the mood for a party. Which is too bad.
Because I planned on bringing friends with me here, too.

Jörmungandr Snakey rises from behind him!

...
Oh, wow, really original with the whole snake thing.
Hey, it's the thought that counts, Soul. Or should I say, Cr--
You know, I've seen the flashback thing a thousand times. Been there, done that. It wasn't clever any time then, and it won't be now. It's pointless, especially now.
...Fair.

As Soul and Prototype are advanced towards, the two find themselves back to back.

Who do you want to deal with? Your call.
I'll handle him. The snake is yours.
Sounds like a plan.

The two then move out, engaging in their respective positions.

Soul Spacecraft* Oh, thank merciful heck Bubble's gone. Now I can spend more than 2 minutes without him saying something like "Fight me" or whatever.
But I've gotta ask, though... did you really think I wouldn't notice you on here?

Footsteps from behind Soul are heard. Sure enough, it's Prototype.

I figured you had, but waited for you to finish.
Just get it straight, what'syourface. Who are you trespassing on my property? And make it snappy, my "little possy" is waiting for me and I need to help them "escape".
You and I both know you were there during the incident. The attack.
What attack? I have no idea what you're talking abou--
Don't bother lying. I saw. Funnily enough, I've been keeping tabs on your little residence. And judging from this specific encounter you seem to be well-acquainted with a certain person's likeness.
C'mon man, don't do this.

Suddenly, a third party walks from behind the two.

I 've gotta say, our old 'chap Soul has the right idea, fellas...
...Why bother with arguments when we can have all the fun in the world...?

---

*Any attempt at the viewing or participation of this plot point is instant death.

Fairy's Forest* Wanda trudges on.

Stupid. Would it have killed him to help someone other than himself? Maybe I could've stood to sound less entitled, but the point still stands.
"wAhAHah!" We'll see how funny it is soon enough. Just you wait. Soon Nintendo will return my emails, and then...

Before she can proceed, she sees four figures talking with each other. Before knowledge of her existence can be found, she hides behind a tree, peeking only to watch them.

Heheh. Once we weed out all those Wigglers, this place is gonna be our guaranteed base of opperations!
I hear that, pal. From then on, we can extend the territory that belongs to us, and by extension, the big B-man himself!
Alright! Now it's time to get this show on the-- AAUUUGHH!

One of the apparent figures is hit by a large stone. The other three's attention immediately shifts to the direction it came from.

Alright, who in the lowsy-- Hnrgh!

The one which speaks suddenly finds himself trapped in place. The perpetrator for this assault seems to be none other than Wanda, using her wand to hold him in place.

Listen. I'm not in a very good mood right now. So all of you had better leave this forest right this instant, or else.

Wario Estate Another person seems to be silently raiding the Wario Estate.

Well, it seems like tubby's been busy being quite the aristocrat these days... as far as pigs like him go, anyway.
But I guess that's another reason to be here, right? Robbing-- borrowing from him blind'll show him some humility, humble him up! God knows he needs to be every once in a while.

As the figure's bag becomes full, they turn around, looking for the door.

Now, all that's left is to make my grand esca--
Put The Sopranos on, Wario! Waluigi has arri--

Waluigi stands face-to-face away from the estate invader.

...
Ugh, just my luck.

---

*From Mario & Wario, the translation of the stage Yōsei no Mori.

I've done it. I've got all of them. All 1,024 Stars. It has been done.

Triton Bubble uses his Water Buster on the Skeleton Joe. Aqua Fishtot moves five spaces up.

BET.
Going to be starting from scratch in an alt though, I would rather not restart any progress from here

---

One for one, the new speed mechanic makes it so that the Met doesn't even have a turn to retaliate.



Cut Man, done. I one-shot all of his Fleas, then spammed Mega Buster. This has unlocked both Cut Man and Roll, the former going to likely be a useful asset due to his above-average attack and speed. Time to do Elec Man next, which means our Blue Bomber is going to have to take a backseat. Cut Man will be doing the heavy lifting on this one.




Boom. Cut Man one-shots Elec Man with Rising Cutter. Yeah, exploiting his weakness was pretty cheap but we're not here for honerable bouts. We're here to make progress.

3 missions, donerino. Let's go.



Time Man takes Mega Man out in 2 hits. Roll steps up and takes him on with the save.

Salvatore also receives 10 million Ƶ as compensation!

Waluigi's sorry for the waste of time. But Waluigi believes that waging war with the DLC Fighters... just simply isn't worth the end result.

---

??? ...And you're sure about this? You may never get this chance ever again.
I've given it some thought, and I remain steadfast on my decision. All further plans of world domination are to be held in suspension until further notice.
...Hey, your funeral.

Every Emerald produced by Koopenstein disappears. The original one in the Sonic Team's possession reappears with them. He then uses his powers to duplicate the Cataclysm Crystal, then breaks the original one down to all it's original components. He telekinetically tosses the Chaos Star to Koopenstein, as well as warping the Chaos Emerald over to the unconscious/wounded Sonic Team.

And as for this little doo-hickey...

Worship sends the new Catacylsm Crystal in another dimension accessible only to him.

Thank you for your help, er... what did you say your name was?
...
...My name ain't important. I'm just a random passerby on this big 'ol earth.
I see... Cortex?

Dr. Neo Cortex walks along, holding a ton of cargo with him, robots behind him carrying even more.

Don't rush me, Koopenstein, I am on my way!

K. Koopa receives the Warp Topaz, the Power Pendant, and 10 million Ƶ!

Shake King and Every other villain in the Koopenstein Alliance receives 10 million Ƶ!

---

Note: Any interference in these plot points means instantaneous death (with the exception of whether they were already an prevalent factor in it, i.e Mao/K. Koopa).

---

?/?

Mao receives 10 million Ƶ!

What was Waluigi doing? Was he really just going to capture and plan an assault on others just for the sake of Waluigi's own notoriety?
...No. Waluigi can't just attack others for such a reason. Waluigi has to be his own person. Make his own legacy. And it won't be done like this.

Waluigi speaks into a radio.

Crash. Spyro. Bubsy. All three of your orders are to stand down. The mission has been called off.

Property Shieldom II You know, Defteros? Being happy... it feels great.
Proteus, your arm!
I thought it was weakness. I thought becoming... this... would make me lose everything I am.
Proteus, this isn't funny, stop it!
If I was still capable of it, I would probably feel regret. Regret for wasting so many years as something I shouldn't have been. Regret for all the misdeeds I've done. Regret for plaguing the world with MKII is Awesome.
But it's not our past deeds that shape us. It's our future ones. This new life has been the best one I could ask for, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
We should create memories instead of destroying lives. We should strive to be the best people we can be instead of dragging down others to their worst. That's what it's all about.
...Proteus?
Thank you, Defteros. You've shown me the light. And for that, I couldn't be more grateful for.

...
Why does everyone always say goodbye?

---

11th Dimension ...So the time has come, then?
Very well.

Bonus Fields ...

Waluigi's Helicopter As the begin to land... Waluigi suddenly turns the helicopter around, heading in the opposite direction.

New Koop City The Somatons (the heads) each explode.

...What just happened?
(I dunno, but it's awfully convenient for us.)
While we're at it, let's go regroup with Somari. Hopefully nothing bad has happened to him.

The three promptly get going, searching for Somari.

Peaceful Plains Mama...mia.

Triton Bubble moves three spaces left and uses a Buster Charge. Aqua Fishtot moves five spaces left and attacks Skeleton Joe 2 with a Quick Strike!
