The Quiet Forest, huh...?
Thanks, Doc. I think I'll be able to find it from here.
...Hopefully, things around here will get better.
...Now, then. Who to talk to first...?
No matter who you choose, it will only serve as a waste of time.
...I will save us both the trouble and tell you right away that I am not here to fight.
...What do you want?
Two things, really; To keep you from wasting time on your hunt for Koopenstein... And to prevent RedBomber from wasting HIS time using characters that would ultimately serve no purpose in that regard.
And what, exactly, do you know of Koopenstein's whereabouts?
His whereabouts? None at all. But I do know where Somari is... as well as where he's going right now.
In fact... It would appear that you are wrong in thinking that he isn't keen on finding Koopenstein. You'll find well enough that, if my vision was correct, he'll be on the search for him as we speak.
...Is that so...? ...Hmph. I guess he knows better, after all... Unlike a certain blue hedgehog.
And that would be another thing; But whatever you may think about Sonic, that isn't any of my business. Now, hold still for a moment...
...Even if you speed things along using Chaos Control, there will be no way you will get there before Somari and the others, or even at the same time as them. However, you should get there in time to learn what they will learn.
And if you're able to see into the future... What is there to stop you from telling me where Koopenstein is instead of relying on Somari to find out for me?
...
...The issue regarding seeing the future, especially in a world like the Chaos Zone... Is that it's not just ONE future that I can look into. The further down the timeline I go... The more it branches out into different possibilities.
...Back when the Mario Brothers were fighting Bowser... I have even seen several futures where they fell by the Koopa King's claws. For that reason, I cannot possibly tell you for certain where Koopenstien is.
Then why should I trust that what you told me was for certain, too?
Simple.
Because I have already foreseen that no matter what you do from here, what I told you is the ONLY lead you'll ever get.
...Fine.
Heheh... Good point.
In that case... I'd like to ask if you knew where I might be able to find Shadow Digital? There's... something important I'd like to tell him about.
"Not evil"? Clearly, you don't know who you're talking to.
Those two are known as Saiyans. A warrior race, they live under the rule of Frieza... Or at least, the ones that survived. Apparently, their planet was wiped out by a meteor, and only so few are left.
They conquer planets in Frieza's name to be sold off to others. I don't quite think they're in any position to do that to ours, though, so they're not necessarily a threat... Yet.
...So, yeah. The big guy? He's definitely evil. He's just not very bright.
That guy, on the other hand? I'd avoid him like the plague if I were you; He is DEFINATELY not a kind soul.
I've been watching Dragon Ball Z in my downtime. Haven't quite gotten to the end of Namek just yet, but I liked what I saw so far.
Well, that was something.
Well, I'm off to fulfill a gag. I know he's dead and all, but I'm not about to waste good wordplay like that.
...?
Hey, what's making you stop all of a sudden?
...I... Huh.
I'm not feeling too great right now.
...
...Nope. I'm definitely out of here.
Oh, please. Did you HONESTLY believe that you were unbeatable, just because you had one of THOSE techniques? Pitiful.
Frankly, I don't know how you even managed it. Such techniques are SUPPOSED to be known by top-rated fighters... Ones who KNOW that you aren't the strongest, JUST because you can use such a technique.
I, myself, am well adverse in the technique of Berserk Instinct... But I don't even NEED it to destroy a simple-minded fool like yourself.
...But, I'm in a bit of a good mood today. And besides... I know better than to hold back against one of RSB's characters.
...So, be grateful. You're about to experience a death far more than you deserve... As I showcase to you fully just how OUTCLASSED your "Berserk Ego" TRULY is!
Bare witness to what power TRULY looks like, for it will be the last thing you'll ever see, before being met with OBLIVION!
Had enough, creep?
Not quite. I still have but one Pokemon remaining... So, tell me, Missing Number...
...Do you feel that white hand on your shoulder...?
So, this is what I'm dealing with now... Fine, then.
〈I'm not done yet, you freaky zombie!〉
Ah, so you have recovered, and now you're looking for a fight? How very interesting...
You looking for me?
...
You know, it is unwise of you to have been following me this whole time.
But for what it’s worth... I do appreciate the flattery.
...Despite what you’re currently thinking, this is not some sort-of knock-off cosplay. I am you from the future.
Ahh, I see. And I assume you’re here to help me use these Ultra Gems to crush those meddling heroes once and for all, correct?
Far from it.
What the...!? What the hell do you think you’re doing!?
A favor. Now, here...
...A To-Do list? What the hell am I supposed to do with this? Half of what's on here doesn't even make any sense! ...And who the hell is “Alternate Aeon”?
You will find out in due time.
And how do you suppose I “troll” him then, smart
?
I dunno, here’s some
ing Mac n’ Cheese. Reference that one meme or whatever.
...Ah, yes. One last word of advice before I go...
Your destiny does not lie where you think it does. Those you thought to be your enemies shall become powerful allies. Those who you believe serve you will ultimately betray you. In the end, you will become something you thought you would never become.
And when that day arrives, I would suggest accepting it sooner rather than later.
...Tch.
And just who does this “me from the future” think he is, anyway? I know where my destiny lies... And it begins with the destruction of those putrid heroes and that wretched Rotom.
...But, fine. I'll play along for now, and see where this will lead.
Omega Form (Transformation)
Reggae's Instantaneous Censorship Service! Even works great on live TV and broadcasts, or your money back!
I'll mail you my bill later.
By the way, just out of curiosity, what happens if we do take the deal?
I've been working on a program... An AI that will allow me to do just that, and more. I haven't quite gotten to the finer details just yet... But I have JUST come up with a name before you walked in.
How are you holding up, Sonic?
Better. Everything still hurts, but it's better.
I'm still surprised you were still standing after such a direct blow from a Hyper form*... I know my plan wasn't the best, but we've really cut it close on this one.
...So, after you defeat this... "Dr. Eggman", was it? You plan on using the Chaos Emeralds to help that Pikason guy get home?

...Yeahhhhhhh sorry, but after what just happened, I think only having had one moment of fame doesn't sound so bad in comparison.
Yeah, I don't think we're quite cut out for this sort-of thing... Maybe if you need our help with anything else, we'd be willing, but as it currently stands? ...I think we're good, thanks.
...Well, I myself never had a moment in the limelight, even in the minor sense... Besides, it's not like I'm doing anything else.
...Yeah, sure, I'll go ahead and join you guys. Hopefully you'll find me to be of some help.
...Just, uh... Don't expect me to jump in if something like Scourge crops up again.
〈But how do we get these other two off this place? It's not like we could just drop what we're doing and take them back.〉
I WILL GO. I AM CERTAIN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PROTECT CREAM IN MY ABSENCE. I WILL NOT BE LONG.
Ah, greetings, Ivo. What are you working on here?
Ah, greetings, Albert! It's nothing much, really; Just making some preparations for my next scheme, is all.
Next scheme? HAH! As if this one's going to fail! Even if that "Scourge" fellow put a wrench in things, I'm sure that we'll CRUSH that blue rodent of yours, and Mega Man to follow!
Oh, please. I've already learned my lesson about this sort of thing, Albert; If you don't prepare yourself for failure, you're doomed to be met with it.
And besides, even if we end up able to defeat Sonic and Mega Man... I know you've been left rather out of the loop for quite some time, but in a world like this... You'll never know when you'll be met with a more formidable foe.
Hmm... Very well, then. I suppose you have a point...
...What exactly is your next plan about, anyways?
I'm glad you asked! You see, before I was abducted by that strange other me's badniks**, I happened to have come across a long-lost ancient alien civilization... One that far predates even the Echidnas and the Babylonians. Their technological prowess were so incredible... So, I plan on assuming control over all of it!
...An ancient alien civilization with advanced technology... I can't help but recall the bad memories I had with Ra Moon. And how exactly do you plan on taking over their technology, anyways?
Nuhahahahaha... Excellent work, Disco!
It was no big deal, really... Just doing my job.
...At least it’s more than I can say for SOME people.
*Grumbles*
Once I’m done with these Ultra Gems, perhaps I should promote you to a proper fighting robot... After all, it seems like you’ve proven yourself capable!
That would be much appreciated, doctor.
(After all... It’s about time I got the respect I’ve rightfully deserved around here.)
...I see that you have disposed of Rozner... Good. Whether he lived or not would normally be of no consequence for me... But the fact that he knows too much of my plans to let him stick around the Brash Crew is too much to ignore.
Indeed... I'd say you were right to choose me for the job.
AS MUCH AS I CARE NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ORGANIC BEINGS, I FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS HAS LED TO THE PERMANENT REMOVAL OF YOUR "RIGHT HAND".
Hmm. Yes, I suppose you have a point... Not just my right hand, either; He was also our lead scientist... And even our second-best is currently out in Lavender Town to... "Gather resources", I believe he called it. Either way, he is currently in no position for me to promote him until he returns... Assuming that he even does so.
And with Scourge having gone and rebelled against us, and even then having removed himself from existence... It is a simple fact that I cannot ignore.
In terms of anything more than a minor footsoldier... The Coda Syndicate is drastically decreasing in numbers. As such, we should aim to do what we must to prevent that number from going any lower.
In that case, perhaps it would be in our best interest to find a way to increase our numbers?
Perhaps... But how we would even go about it is something I will have to think about.
Until then, you two are dismissed.
Fool... I was trained under the second strongest being in the ENTIRE hierarchy, EONS before you were even conceived. If it wasn't for that undeserving SLACKER, Robbie Rotten, I probably could've had a place on that hierarchy myself. What's more, I have been undergoing further combat training during my time as General of the Heeta Force*.
...Perhaps if I had appeared much sooner, that Dyna Man of yours might have a slight chance of giving you the edge; I have, after all, underwent the effects of aging. Even someone like myself who has been gifted eternal life through the training of the gods are subject to it without a proper divine status.
...However, thanks to Coda not only amplifying my training further, but ALSO finding a way to restore me to the prime of my youth...
...NONE of you could ever defeat me. Not together, and certainly not on your own.
...Fortunately, I was only here to carry out an order from Coda. And besides... The objects of my revenge are something of a... HIGHER status.
But for now... I bid you all farewell.
...Truth be told, something I should've realized long ago... was that he had zero intention of following through with his promise from the very start.
It wasn't until I helped him in creating the Coda Corruption alongside another scientist that I started to realize his evil intentions... But even then, I still held onto that hope that he would follow through with his promise. I even clung onto the belief that the heroes of this world would be able to purge it of the Corruption, finding the good in the evil I was working with.
...But I was meant to encounter you as far back as the situation in Wood Zone... and it was when I was called back for the sole reason that none of you were there that I had come to realize that I was only being used as a source of emotional turmoil for you.
...But now that I've been defeated... I myself am unsure of what comes next. Truth be told... I have reasons to believe that Coda expected for me to meet some form of demise.
...Though, there are those who have left Coda's group that have been left alone before... Perhaps he's not even aware that I am still alive. So, perhaps I can-
With all the information you know? Sorry to say, doctor...
...But Coda has decided to make an exception.
...Is that... the best... you've got...?
ENOUGH OF THIS!
DIE!!!!!
Huh? What just happened...?
...It's just as I thought. Scourge had all that power... Power that only grew stronger over time, without limit...
...But he had no means of truly controlling it. In the end... His arrogance was his downfall.
〈...So, does this mean that he's...?〉
I wouldn't say he's dead per se...
GAH! What the...!?
What is this place...?
...You're going to be here for a LONG time.
...Dyna...
Incredible, isn't it? This Dyna Man... your very creation... has been able to utilize such an incredible power. ...And believe it or not, there is something... more... that he has yet to truly tap into.
...And yet, in terms of concept... he was made to be no more of an ordinary Robot Master than the others you have made... Being one of, if not the VERY, first of your creations. If this one robot in particular holds such amazing power and potential... I could only IMAGINE what the full trio- or even your doubly-sized second line of robots- are capable of, both on their own... and as a team.
Heck, maybe even that Tox Man of yours is capable of more than what he was made for.
...But, I digress. If even your Robot Masters are capable of holding such power... And even then, the achievement you made with your CRORQ Supercomputer... I cannot think of any other person in- or in this case, removed from- all of reality who could create the perfect body for my power than you.
...And, then, once my body is complete... With my power, and your potential genius combined... There is NOTHING that we cannot accomplish.
...So, what do you say? Think of all the wonderful things that can be accomplished... What we could bring to the world... And beyond.
And all you have to do... Is join me, and do EVERYTHING I tell you to.
...
...As tempting as your offer is... I'm afraid I'll have to pass. I... can't help but feel as though I'm not being told the whole truth.
...So you don't trust me, then.
Well, it's not quite the words I'd use... But while what you're saying sounds promising... There's something about you that tells me that I shouldn't agree to this.
...In that case... As I said before, the power that I hold is one of infinite potential benefits.
...So, in return for your services... Perhaps, one of those benefits...
...Could be the complete restoration of your very world.
...Very well. I will tell you everything... If for no other reason than the fact that you deserve to know. To both understand why I did all this, or why I'm even here... As well as the kind of person Coda truly is, assuming you haven't figured it out already.
...A dreary place around here, isn't it?
Wh-what the-!? You're...!
...N-no, wait... You're not Bass... Who ARE you?
Ah, how insightful... Indeed, I am not Bass, though I was... "built" off of his model, in a manner of speaking. You may refer to me as Coda.
And I must say, to notice right away that I am just a mere lookalike of Bass... You are as smart as I had predicted... Dr. Oswald Rozner.
...How... How did you know my name?
Because, doctor... I've been doing my research. Frankly, what happened to your world is nothing short of a tragedy.
But... That's impossible... How-
Well, Doc... With the time I myself have spent in the Void, especially considering how meaningless time is in such a realm...
...I was able to pick up a few little tricks.
Are you... alright...?
I'm fine... As a matter of fact, this is one of the reasons why I've come to you. I have all of this incredulous power... Power that I am certain would have many benefits to so many others.
...But this body... it is incapable of using even the slightest amount of it without causing physical strain. I require a new body. One capable of withstanding the use of such power in its fullest form.
...But in order to achieve such a body... I need a brilliant scientist to make one for me. A robot cannot physically upgrade itself so simply, after all.
...But... Why me? If you can seemingly go wherever you desire... Why not go to Dr. Light, or Dr. Cossack?
Ah, but that's the other thing. You see, doctor... A robot like myself, with a power of incredible, and even infinite possibilities... Is one that is destined for greatness.
...And yet... In the world I once came from, I cannot help but to feel like I am... forgettable. And not only do I wish to prove such to be incorrect... I wish to be able to help those who have, too, been forgotten to be granted their spot in the limelight once more. To be TRULY remembered, and reach the level of greatness that they have always been destined for.
...I... I see.
But, even still... Why me in particular? Surely, there is someone else you could turn to?
Perhaps. But in my search for the one who could help me attain the body I need to host my full power, I found a source of... inspiration.
Pssh, you think I care about the turn order? Nah. Besides, I hope you realize that it's also making you go later than normal, too, right?
Literally the only people benefiting from this are the slow people. You don't get anything out of this. Talk about a wasted turn.
