Now, last I heard, there's no such thing as an "I" in "team".

Suddenly, Beta Devil appears in front of Dub Eggman!

...Or are you that interested in what happens to people who betray me?

How about you BOTH try clamming up!

Knuckles proceeds to knock both Somari and (Fleetway) Sonic on the back of their heads to get them to stop arguing.

Now, I don't know what this whole "Somari" business is about, but since I'm now done chasing away that tiny intruder, NEITHER of you are to make contact with the Master Emerald. Understood?
Yep. That's the Knucklehead I know.

Surely enough, the Sonic and Mega Man group has arrived!

What the-!? ANOTHER Sonic!?
Hey, Knux! I see you came across one of those alternate Mes that have been running around recently... Nice impression, by the way. Would've fooled me if you were just a little bit taller.

How about you explain what you're doing around my Master Emerald!

Knuckles then appears to confront Somari! (Who he thinks to be Mario)

What, jealous of Sonic beating you in those Olympic Races, so you decided to have your speed boosted with Chaos energy? Don't you know that cheaters never prosper?

The Super Fighting Robots de-fuse from their animal companions.

Well, I'm glad that's over with.
This job is done at least, but our quest isn't over yet. We still need to look for Team Mecha's hideout.
Are you sure those guys are even still alive at this point? We've looked all over for them!
Perhaps all over the Earth. But I believe there's still a chance to find them out in the depths of space.
Yeah, sure. And where, exactly, are we going to find a spaceship?
Need a lift?

Sure enough, Sonic and Tails has shown up with the Space Tornado!

We were going to use this thing to try and solve a bit of a... situation.

Sonic reveals the Red Chaos Emerald... or what's left of it, anyways. Hang on, how did the thing get broken agai-



...Oh. Right. Thanks, DIO.

...But I suppose we have enough time to help you smash this "Team Mecha" of yours. What do they look like, anyways?

Well, they actually kinda looked like you... But one of them were small and silver with some kind of goggles, while another was big and grey. Then there's the leader, who was big and blue.
I see... Sounds like some of my old doppelgangers are up to no good.
Doppelgangers...? Wait, does that make you...?
Sonic the Hedgehog. The fastest thing alive, at your service. We'll help you with your little problem, but first... We need to make a bit of a trip down here, first.
...Hmph, very well. Where do you suppose we go?
Well, our first stop is Angel Island to pick up a friend of ours. We'll get there with the Tornado!

Suddenly, Tails pulls out a remote and pushes a button. Suddenly, the Space Tornado converts itself to the regular Tornado! Tails then pushes another button, which causes the Tornado to expand a bit, providing extra seats for the SFRs.

Great! But, uh, why are there only 3 extra seats? Where is Sonic going to sit?
Why, only the best seat on the entire plane!

Sonic then proceeds to hop on the wings of the plane.

...Is that safe?
Hey, don't worry! He does this all the time, and hasn't fallen off once! Now, hop on!

Everyone gets into the Tornado. Tails then starts the plane, and starts flying off to Angel Island!

Let's return our focus to the party...

Suddenly, Super Bass appears, carrying both Buster Rod G L and Mega Water S L by their arms!

I gotta hand it to ya, whatsyerface. You had a real smart idea to deal with complete trash.
Alright, you pathetic wastes of space, in you go!

Super Bass proceeds to y e e t both Buster Rod AND Mega Water into the sun!

Oh, that's IT. Being beaten by a guy with purple skin was one thing, and a continent of complete knock-offs was another. But I have seen just about ENOUGH STUPID BULL! I'm ending this, here and now!
Double Gear!

Super Bass charges at Hyper Storm H L at lightspeed, and then- faster than anyone could react- he tears Hyper Storm H L to pieces with his bare hands, then burns the pieces with Bass Baroque!

Bass! Calm down!
Don't tell me what to do, you blue little brat!

Super Bass proceeds to rapidly fire semi-charged shots at Buster Rod G L and Mega Water S L!

We're not here to play games. We're here to stop you.

Super Mega Man uses Mega Upper to launch Hyper Storm H L into the air. Meanwhile, Super Bass fires multiple shots into the air, which then splits apart and rains down upon both Buster Rod G L and Mega Water S L!

The three Super Fighting Robots catches the attack with a Power Gear-boosted Super Arm.

Right back at you.

Super Proto Man, still in Power Gear, launches Hyper Storm H L back at the Limited Genesis Unit with Proto Strike!

Mega Man slides under the attack with Speed Gear.

Ok, team, regroup!

The three Super Fighting Robots gather up.

These guys have proven their difficulty... I say it's about time we kicked things into high gear.
Right. We can't afford to hold back against these guys...
It feels unnecessary, but whatever gets this over with the fastest.

The three robots turn to face the Limited Genesis Unit.

Alright, you assembly line freaks... Get ready to face our TRUE strength!

Treble, come!
Rush!
*Does the Beat whistle*

Suddenly, Rush, Treble, and Beat comes in and combines with Mega Man, Bass, and Proto Man (respectively)!

All right, here goes!
(So this is what using an adaptor is like... I just hope this works.)
Take a good look, false Genesis Unit! This is the power of the new-and-improved Super Bass!

Proto Man generates a large pulse of supersonic waves to disorientate the Limited Genesis Unit, while Mega Man and Bass both launch Charged Shots at the group!

---

Beat Pulse- (Wind/Swift) Generates a supersonic pulse that deals no damage, but disorientates opponents to temporarily stun them.

Proto Man blocks the attacks with his shield, which he then proceeds to use to shield bash Mega Water S L, increasing the strength with Power Gear. Bass avoids Hyper Storm H L's attack with Speed Gear while Mega Man uses Super Throw to grab Buster Rod G L's glaive and throw it- as well as Buster Rod G L himself- at the rampaging Hyper Storm H L!

Proto Man blocks the attack with his shield!

Sorry, but we've been in the game for a lot longer than those other guys... You're facing the ORIGINAL Super Fighting Robots. And we're not going to fall to the likes of you so easily.
Let's just skip the speech and get straight to the point. Take them out!

Bass decks Hyper Storm H L with a Speed Gear-boosted Quick Strike while Proto Man strikes at Mega Water S L with Gyro Blade. Meanwhile, Mega Man begins pelting at Buster Rod G L with Water Balloons!

Here, let me give you a hand.

Suddenly, two Proto Strikes are launched at Mega Water S L at high speeds!

We were looking for those Team Mecha guys when we overheard the commotion. We'll handle the Genesis Unit. The rest of you handle the tough guys.

Wait, what does he mean by "we"?

You two owe me big time for this.
We've got no time to argue, Bass. We need to stop these guys before they become a serious problem!

...Oh. THAT'S what he meant.

(OOC)

Ok, ok, hold up. It was said that the copies did not include humans or yokai. Since Beta Shadow is a human, and indeed not a robot like I've said thousands of times (I'm assuming this is what you assumed him to be), this would make a clone of Beta Shadow highly improbable due to the restraints that you yourself have set upon.

Maybe so. Or perhaps if you allow me to do some coding practice, I could throw a couple of things together to make a new character for you to pick up.



I don't see why not. Have you payed attention to the kind of world we live in?
How are you going to hack a game that's already turned on?
Me and Phantom are going to help with that; We're going to make sure the game stays on and doesn't crash or anything.
Alright, let's get to work!

---

...Moments later...

...Aaaaand done! Take a look at this!

Digamma Bolt reveals a new character, seemingly using custom assets aside from the voice: The character from the predecessor that has been removed from 64, Koopa Troopa.



So, uh, this makes up for the whole "shocking you" thing, right...?




Right... So, apology accepted?

(OOC: Who was Diddy Kong playing as, anyways? I don't think it was ever said.)

@Brash Buster : Wasn't this a 4-way match? How was Diddy- a 5th player- able to join in?
