On Jörmungandr
He is that large Prototype lands on top of the rampaging serpent, with Dracon Basilix waiting on the head.

Welcome, welcome! It's really, truly, nice to meetcha!
I'm not playing games. Who are you and what do you think you're doing?
Who am I? Well, you can call me Dracon Basilix. I think it has a nice name to it, and it's much more original than what I previously went by. As for what I'm doing...

Field-Boosted Mini-Jörmungandr begin to sprout all over Jörmungandr, surrounding Prototype!

...

Conducting an experiment.

---

Before it even exists the veil is removed. City Block, however, is nonetheless isolated and rendered inaccessible from the thoughts, knowledge, or senses of anyone not under Me.

Purple Mephisto or whatever your name is. This will be the first and last warning. I truly do not care who you are, what your intention is, and how they correlate with this subplot. But under no circumstance will I allow any actions made by you to have any grounds over any plot under my jurisdiction. Unless you would rather have it be under your expense.
And that doesn't go for just him.

City Blocks Prototype, still on break, wanders the town.

(I should be putting my time into better use, but I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right around here...)

As he continues further walking, he feels and earthquake-like noise!

!

Upon hearing the earthquake, Prototype looks around.

Just what the hell is going... Dear god.

A very, very, very large Serpent shape figure seeems to be behind the earthquake, it's body encompassing the entire town area.

(My master, is it time...) Hissss...
(To eradicate all of these inferior beings?)
Jörmungandr
Serpent of Otherworldly Proportions

On top of Jörmungandr...

Hell, yeah! Kill all these bastards dead. And when you're done...
...We'll take our sweet time picking P-Type over there apart.
Dracon Basilix
Menacing Commander of the Serpents

Prototype looks at them from afar.

...Well.
I think I know just how to start this week.

Koopa Lair Koopenstein relaxes his posture at the sight of K. Koopa.

It doesn't exactly help that I haven't came across a Koopenstein plushie of my own *ahem*.. But nonetheless, despite my attempt at being an utmost practicalist, it is my belief everyone has something that makes them... "tick". It could be the knowledge that your existence is considered worthless... or, it could be a meddling pair of paisanos that foil your plans at every turn.
Kamek, thank you for your cooperation. You have been a pleasuring aid.
Such is the treatment for his majesty's allies. And while on the subject

Koopenstein hands a Chaos Emerald-like object to King Koopa, and one more to Shake King.

Seeing as you and Shake King have completed your mission, this will at least be a necessity in return.

---

??? Ken finds himself in a mysterious, dark room, strapped in enforced steel, facing armed female guards, with a large muscular figure directly in the center.

Ugh... where am I?
Where you are is at my mercy... Exactly where you belong, Masters.
Oh, no! I recognize that voice from anywhere! Tell me I lost the fight with Axel and this was just one bad dream!
Ah, yes, that Axel character you had your miserable squabble with. He will make a fine test subject for us.
Don't you dare--!

Ken tries to move, but finds himself stuck.

Bother not with your trivialities. The Psycho Power bounds you for however long I please.
Oh, yeah!? And what's so important you tracked little old me down here to trap you personally?
A simple answer. You will become the a next host of the Psycho Power and be an embodiment of the will of Shadaloo!

As Bison prepares his energy and dispells it into Ken's mind, Ken begins to scream in agonizing pain... With no one available to answer his cries for help.

Toad Town Kamek teleports seemingly from out of nowhere above the defeated Ludwig.

Apologies, but I'm afraid you lot will have to live with your mistake.

Somari and Shadwari try to stop him, but Kamek warps away with Ludwig before they can reach him.

---

Koopa Lair After dropping him off somewhere, Kamek warps in to meet Koopenstein.

Surely you are aware of Ludwig's failure, Doctor.
Quite. But this will not deter our true goal of global domination.

Koopenstein gets up.

You know, Kamek, when I first thought of this world, I thought it would be easy pickings No more of that meddlesome adventurer and his happy-go-lucky friends to dash my brilliant schemes.

Koopenstein turns to Kamek, his expression grim.

But reality is often disapointing. Despite him as well being in this realm of sorts, I still managed to find a way to defeat him! But yet despite my most earnest efforts, we were bested by a bunch of weaklings nonetheless. Speaking of whom, while I researched on my combatants, guess what I found?

He balls his hand into a fist, shaking it mildly.

I learned of the entities Sonic the Hedgehog, the Mario Brothers, and all of their fantastical crusades to stop their respective evildoers. But what about my world?
It is known as nothing but a pitiful blight on the eyes of the Multiverse. Fake. Phony. Counterfeit. Off-brand. Knock-off. Bootleg. Only remaining in the shadows of the blue and red legends which legacies stand tall. So I figure...

Koopenstein pulls a lever, dropping a bunch of blurry objects of the same proportion from through the roof Into the same mysterious Warp Pipe!

If mine is seen as but a miserable bootleg... I'll make sure it's number one villain is the last thing that's known for in history.

---

Those bothersome "heroes" won't stand a chance.

Seconds into the Time slow Ludwig's Pendant is destroyed, exploding immediately! Everyone else fires one last wave of attacks before stopping!

(...I've lost... And it is my fault.)

Ludwig collapses, defeated by the attempts of everyone.

Yeah! Time to end this!

Wario throws two more projectiles at Ludwig's direction, before simultaneously jumping towards Ludwig's direction, punching the pendant multiple times, create a notable crack.

How pathetic! You said it yourself! You mighta had a chance before, but instead of taking it, you toyed with your food like some kinda arrogant chump!

The cracks increase.

And all for what!? To prove your superiority? Get off your high horse, you're a manipulative piece of garbage!

The cracks increase.

You really wanna prove you're better than Junior!? Do it the honest way, not at the expense at civilizations!


The cracks increase.

You underestimated everyone! Me, these other guys-- Everyone else willing to do what's right! That's why you're in the situation you're in now! You only have yourself to blame!

After several punches, the seal keeping the pendant in tact begins to wobble. It seems Ludwig won't be able to maintain his defense for much longer....

N-no!

W-what!? When did your abilities become this immense! It cannot be!

As the Pendant begins to produce small, though still noticable cracks, Ludwig's shields begin to lose power...

...I came up with the mastermind plan to emerge victorious, and yet I am still trapped in this position!? How!
There were ten of you when you had first scattered, and now the number may as well've doubled! You all barely fended off Boom Boom, but still find resistance in cornering me!? No... I will not stand for it... I will defeat all of you here, and after reflection upon my outstanding performance...
...It is I who will be crowned the heir to the Koopa King!! Not that snotty nosed, immature, lazy, underserving, imp Bowser Jr! ME!

The same power from before encapsulates Ludwig, sealing the cracks and giving him a new burst of power.

Aww? Does the squirt feel like making Daddy proud? Too bad. Wario time!

Wario, though physically augmented somehow, proceeds chucking Tire Wheels and Bob-ombs at Ludwig.

---

Wario-Man Power (Typeless)- Wario taps into a hint of the power of Wario-Man*, gaining augmented speed, strength, power, intellect and jumping ability, but without taking the actual transformation in of itself.

---

Wario-Man is Wario's much, much more powerful alter-ego. Formerly acheived from eating Rotten Garlic, the transformation is now a natural part of Wario's powerset. Currently Wario is unable to assume it due to a mental block placed by Dr. Koopenstein to assure chances of victory against other villains.

The Chaos Shot eliminates the Flame Shield, thus creating a small crack on the Pendant and lowering Ludwig's guard!

As L fires his charged shot, Somari hurls a Somari Wind, Taileegee and Yoshles through and arm-cannon blast and a boulder, Shadwari throws a Chaos Spear-- everyone simultaneously spams their respective projectiles, with Ludwig in the center.

Why don't you all comprehend the pointlessness of your actions!? You cannot win!

Ludwig activates a Bubble Shield... before realizing that it won't nealy be enough to withstand everyone, to which he responds by stacking it with the Thunder Shield, Flame Shield, Magnet Shield and various others, which manages to barely hold them off. A small glint of pressure is seen inside the Pendant Ludwig is utilizing.

---

My turn at explaining time I guess.
Ludwig and the rest of the Koopalings were terrorizing and wreaking havoc across multiple places, with (most of them) them being accompanied by a brainwashed assailant (King Bob-omb, Viewtiful Joe, Pac-Man, G&W and Little Mac). After defeating one of them (Morton Koopa) the group of heroes present (At the time Mao, Stanley, the Mario Bros., Wario and Waluigi, Mao, Somari, Tailigee, Yoshles and Shadwari) split up into groups of five to defeat the rest (Iggy, Lemmy, Roy, Wendy, and Larry), with the Mario Bros. (Mario getting his body stolen and Luigi's forcibly transformed) being ambushed after their fight. After defeating a good deal of them, everyone present regrouped and and headed to Toad Town to defeat Ludwig, the final Koopaling remaining.

Ngah! Miserable gnat!

The cape is yanked off of Ludwig successfully, which distracts him long enough to take a punch from Little Mac and Yoshles simultaneously!

This is ridiculous. The brat's gotta have some weakness!
There's one thing that's become apparent. He doesn't have access to invincibility. If he did, he would have used it by now.
Which-a-means that just like-a-everyone else, This guy is-a-beatable.
Not like he stood a chance against Waluigi in the first place!
Group up, -a-you guys...
...We'll-a-beat that Ludwig no-a-matter how hard he-a-tries!

Ludwig wasn't on the Clown Car to begin with. He regardless reflects the oncoming Rocket Arm at Kurtis with his Cape.

Toad Town After the failure of the Waluigi Launcher, Wario ponders on his next move. Suddenly he [and he specifically] hears a voice.

Hey, Wario.
Who in the--
Some time ago, you were treated unfairly. And seeing as you'll probably get next to no compensation in the future'll, I'll just give you (And Waluigi seperately) a few centillion dollars in compensation. Bye bye.

The voice leaves Wario to himself.

...
WAHAHAH! I'M RICH, I'M RICH, I'M RICH--

A Magic Beam from Ludwig hits him, de-powering him. Wario yelps in pain.

...MMMMAMMA!
What was it, they say? Keep your eyes on the prize.

City Rooftop A lone Prototype lingers above, watching citizens pass.

Well, that was one worthless pile of trash who won't jeopardize lives of success again.
But then again... am I any different? From what I know, I'm the stupid reboot of an evil robot.
Every time I see him... All I feel is hate. Hate and anger. Like there is nothing I wouldn't give to eradicate him forever. It's like I become him.
...But I refuse to be him. Stooping to the level of a destroyer means I'm no better. I'll carve my own path. One that he can't possibly hope to compare to.

As Prototype teleports away... no. You aren't supposed to be here-- I thought--

Shut up and stop acting like you care. The hell am I supposed to monologue when you're busy flapping your proverbial gums?

...

That's better. Now, then. Prototype, right? I mean, his name. That sounds... bland. Very bland. But, I'll work with it.
Personally, if I could show my face, I would tell him to get off his stupid high horse and know his place compared to the true nexus of awesome... me... but I'd rather not spoil the surprise, if you catch my drift.
"MKII this", "MKII that", who gives a damn!? Not you. And not me! But I figure, "why not give this guy the benefit of the doubt and actually put this guy's resolve to the test? After all that talk, It'd be a shame if he became the very thing he swore to destroy. Yes that reference was intentional.
Just pretend he spouted on with his corny crap and left. If you'll excuse me, me and the boys are going to come up with our next plan of action!

You and the boys...?

...Ah, sunnova gun, did I say that out loud? W-whatever. You get the gist, I've done my piece, for now it's time I bid you adieu... for now.

He's gone.

There is an uproar in the crowd as they do not know what Ken and Axel do. While each of them try to take five down each, the numbers advantage appears to be too great to overcome.

Whatever you do, don't let 'em get close to you.
Easier said than done, Masters, at least you have those stupid Hadoukens you can use to play keep away with!

As it becomes more and more apparent that this is a losing battle, the Crowd begins to go into a slight disarray, and slowly into fright as the two are simultaneously hit by Siberian Blizzards. More Mech Zangief begin to rush in and destroy cameras, as well as various other parts of the building. In the crowds, despite their being a load of panic...

(Call me a psychic, But I don't think this was scheduled. In any case, I'd better get out there to help. Besides...
...That's what friends are for, right?)
Terry Bogard
Legendary Wild Wolf

During the mayhem, while Terry attempts to make it through the arena, a large cloaked figure slaps him upside the head. Terry turns from behind.

Hey, watch i--

Terry is then forcibly grabbed by the cloaked figure, who then proceeds to fly out of the arena, crashing through a wall.

Terry, right? Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you do anything at the moment.

---

Siberian Blizzard (Impact/Damage)- The user jumps in the air and starts to spin rapidly with his arms outstretched in an attempt to grab an airborne opponent. If successful, The user grabs them and puts them in a headlock, spinning them higher up in the air. They then puts them into a reverse-crucifix clutch and drives them head-first into the ground. After that, They jump to the side.

Central Martial Arts Stadium
(USA) The crowd roars as the fight between Ken and Axel progresses.
Wow! It would appear Ken and Axel are at an impasse! How will this battle proceed? Will there be a victor?

*pant*... Not bad, Masters... not bad... *pant*
*pant*... You're pretty good yourself, Wood City...

As they both finish catching their breaths and prepare to continue battle, strange metallic footsteps can be heard.

Huh? What the heck is that?
...

After a few seconds, the metallic footsteps seem to pause.

...It's nothing. Let's conti--

Immediately the roof of the building bursts, with dozens of robots dropping down!

Target "Ken Masters" found. Initiating routine..
Hunt and Capture.
Mech Zangief
Siberian Grappler Duplicated

The Mech Zangief with no hesitation make their way towards the ring, on their way to acquire Ken and dispatch all other obstacles.

W-what the heck!?
You know these things?
No, but they... look like a guy I've met before. I've even battled him in the U.S. Martial Arts Tournament.
So you don't have any idea where these things might've come from.
Well... one evil mastermind company comes to mind.

Ken and Axel face each other back-to-back as they get ready to face the Mech Zangiefs.

Toad Town
Do you understand? If I had truly wished for victory I could've easily massed-produced Mega Mushroomed Double Cherry duplicates to do my bidding.
Even now, you fight not due to any found integrity or justice... but because I simply allow it.

As he finishes speaking, G&W hits him point blank from behind with a Judgement... 1. Ludwig merely rears his head and gives him an icy glare before his Clown Car punches G&W out.

What are-a-we gonna do?
I don't-a-know, but I hope it doesn't involve-a-being impaled through the-a-circulatory system again.
(Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not gonna sit here and take this.)

Yoshles' body begins to heat up severely.

(This Ludwig guy has to be taught a lesson. I'll make sure of it.)

Ludwig swipes at it with a Super Cape, reflecting the cannonball in the Somari gang's direction, forcing them to dodge.

Gah! He's too powerful! What're we gonna do, Wario?
Heh! It seems like we're gonna have to use.. it.
Aw, man! Not that! I thought we we're past tha--

Wario grabs Waluigi and places him on his shoulder, rocket style.

WALUIGI LAWNCHAIR.

Wario fires Waluigi at Ludwig, who tries to bounce him away with a Bubble Shield, but is still hit by the blast radius of the explosion.

---

Waluigi Launcher (Shadow/Missile)- The user places a Waluigi horizantally on their shoulder as well before modifying it's internal bone structure accordingly. Once ready, the Waluigi is fired as though a rocket launcher would be directly at the target, exploding on contact. The Waluigi will usually scream a lot after being fired.

Ludwig uses the momentum to propel himself into the air, manically shooting Magic Beams from above!

So, you all still wish to persist? A foolish choi--
Gotcha!

As Wario grabs Ludwig from behind, the Flame Shield burns him.

Arrgghh!
See? It is all futile! Futi--...What? How are you still..? Release me this instant!
If you say so!

Wario begins to rapidly spin in a circle, holding on to Ludwig by the leg. After a few seconds, he chucks Ludwig into the air!

Get him!

Waluigi throws a Flaming Bob-omb into the air, but Ludwig sprouts a pair of Wings and dodges it.

All too easy!

Tailigee tries Tail-slapping him down but his attempt is evaded as Ludwig hits him back unto the ground.

Tailigee!

Somari catches him before he can make his full descent, placing him on the ground.
I'm okay.

From above everyone is Ludwig now in his Clown Car, holding multiple Bob-ombs!

Carry on your meaningless squabbling and you won't be for long.
