ELEMENT BLADE: SHADOW!

Beta Devil creates an energy blade from his hand, slicing the two Air Generators in half!

---

Element Blade- (Any/Cutter) Similar to Element Sphere, Element Blade is a blade of elemental energy that Beta Shadow and Omega Element can turn into any element. The Cutter side is purely cosmetic, and has no effect on the effectiveness of the attack, aside from making it be incredibly sharp.

Why do I want to- YOU DESTROYED THE CRYSTAL COCONUT! It was the key to me achieving ULTIMATE POWER, and you RUINED IT!

Why didn't you just make a wish when you fished it up that one time!?

IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS, OK!? I grew rusty!

Right...

Look, that's besides the point! My plans to become a divine being like Cranky has been RUINED by this little creep! And I'm going to pound her into nothing for it!

...I see. And your plan was to grow bigger with a stew made with Mega Mushrooms.

Yes, and?

And what, pray tell, do you intend to do when those Mega Mushrooms run their course?

I- ...Well, I erm...

...And as if just on cue, K. Rool shrinks back down to regular size.

...Curses.

Perhaps I'll spare your life... But not without leaving something for you to remember me by.

...As soon as A. Rock and Mech-T left the scene, a small amount of energy that lingered after A. Rock used his attack form floats around the scene...

Suddenly, the lifeless body of a Jazz Droid falls to the ground where the ghost of Jazz is!

...Moments later...

...Back in my old MKIII form... Hmph. I suppose it makes sense... My MK-X form would simply attract attention. Attention I do not wish to gain...
...Now, then. I should return to lurking within the shadows... My Anti-Omni powers seem to be more attracted towards that scar I left on A. Rock's face, so that should make things easier... I'll return when the time is right.

Jazz MKIII disappears into the shadows...

...You, sir, are quite the annoying pest.
However, that object of yours may provide to be useful.

Beta Devil steals the Air Generator and uses a surge of dark energy to overcharge the Air Generator. He then aims the Air Generator at Robo Sonic, in attempt to blow him away!

Beta Devil stops before he flies into Pop!Amitie!

...Well. Harsh but fair. My arc ended ages ago.

Beta Devil then begins to shroud the room in a dark fog!

...But the thing is... Your story ended long before mine did.

The dark fog grabs ahold of Robo Sonic, and proceeds to slowly break him down on a molecular level!

Been a long time since I used the Nightmare Smoke... Once you are consumed by the darkness, all of your power will be mine! Or, well... Whatever insignificant power you gained from your fellow Mecha Sonic.
Of course, the Halberd and its crew may ALSO be devoured in the midst of this... But that's no skin off MY back.

---

K. Rool lets go of Dark Elf in response, covering his ears...(?)

GRAH! Forget I asked!

K. Rool uncontrollably stumbles around!

---

Nightmare Smoke- (Empty) A giant mass of black smoke that consumes everything in its path. It cannot be harmed or destroyed.

I've got you now!

K. Rool grabs ahold of Dark Elf!

Alright, little creature... I heard that you could sing. That's rather neat... Let's see if you can scream.

K. Rool begins to squeeze Dark Elf with his two large hands!

---

Frankly, I don't give a rat's what model of Sonic copy you are. Your entire crew is nothing but obsolete garbage. A failed attempt to copy a blue rodent. And I am going to take out the trash.

Beta Devil rushes in front of Robo Sonic and leaps up, proceeding to stomp on his head!

Don't question my methods, you little pipsqueak! Now, hold still!

K. Rool continues to try and grab and/or crush Dark Elf with his hands!

---

Beta Devil warps onto the scene.

Alright, you silver rustbucket. If you want your kicked, you came to the right place.
Element Sphere: Shadow!

Beta Devil launches a barrage of Shadow Core energy spheres!

---

Element Sphere- (Any) An attack used by Beta Shadow and his alternates. For Beta Shadow and Omega Element, these spheres can be any elemental types.

The shots not only do nothing to effect the barrier surrounding the Gangplank Galleon II and everyone on it, but they also simply bounce off of K. Rool himself!

Foolish droids... Your attacks are far too tiny and insignificant! Now, stay out of this fight... This is a One on One!

K. Rool stomps on the ground, causing a tremor that knocks down Mighty's robots!

As for you, Dark Elf... You come here!

K. Rool tries to grab at Dark Elf!

Unfortunately, an odd barrier seems to prevent Mighty's robots from even being on or attacking the ship!

Perfect.

K. Rool leaps off the ship yet again, and... Is it me or is he bigger than he was before? ...A LOT bigger.

You know, I truly need to hire a better chef... That Mega Mushroom Stew was absolutely disgusting! ...But you know what? It's worth it.
Now, where was I... Ah, yes. Pounding you into paste!

The enlarged K. Rool tries to crush Dark Elf with his fist!

K. Rool looms over Dark Elf from the top of the ship!

Do you happen to be "Dark Elf"?

WHAT THE-!? TWO Donkey Kongs! But that's impossible... Unless...
...Cranky Kong? Wow, I haven't seen you look THIS young since you went on that business trip to New Donk City!
...How did that even go, by the way? I've only heard a thing or two here-and-there. Something about a carpenter or something...?

...Wait a second, what am I even saying!? This isn't the time for playing catch-up!

K. Rool pulls out his Propellerpack and flies back onto his ship. He then heads into his captain's quarters...

I'm going to leave you lot here to fight my new little friend... Don't worry, I installed a program that allows them to warp back to my ship any time. As for me...

K. Rool appears on the ship wearing what appears to be... A boxing outfit?

I'm going to find the one who broke the Crystal Coconut and ruined my perfect scheme... And clobber them into dust!

The Gangplank Galleon II sails off to find Dark Elf! ...Wait, how will he even know who to find?

Because you just told me, narration boy!

...I should just learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes.

...I'm sorry what.

K. Rool himself jumps off of the ship, losing his pirate outfit in the midst of it! ...He did not stick the landing, but is somehow ok.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S BEING FIXED!? WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE BANANA GODS EVEN HAPPENED!?

(I mean, it's not like I was doing anything to hide who I am. That's reserved for Baron.)
Luckily for me, that's not what I'm after... Not that it matters. You've made your choice.
Kahtos! Come forth and crush these fools!

K. Rool is calling forth the reprogrammed Defteros...!

Sure enough, Kaptain K. Rool has made it to DK Island!

Attention, inhabitants of DK Island! I know it's been a long while, but I am here at last with a brand NEW scheme to make you bothersome primates fall to my heels!
And don't think for a second that you shall achieve victory... Not only is my new ship packed with high-tech weaponry- And I really do mean High-Tech- but it's not the ONLY new trick up my sleeves!
So, listen well, Kongs: You have but ONE chance to surrender, or face the wrath of my new recruit!

...Meanwhile...

Shipbuilder: ...Alright, that should do it, Mr...?
The Great King K. Rool, leader of the-
Shipbuilder: I asked for your name, sir, not your occupation. You're lucky we were even able to BUILD this thing: A wooden ship that could turn into a functioning spaceship? And explosion-proof too... And that's not even to mention the various built-in security systems you requested to keep out... Who did you want to keep out, again?
Why, the Kongs, of course!
Shipbuilder: ...Uh-huh. Rest assured, Mr. Rool, if King Kong was even real to begin with, I'd doubt he'd be able to fit on your ship. Anyways, that'll be $1,000,000,000, please.
Alright, alright... Bring 'em in, boys!

The Kremlings begin to load in treasure chests full of golden coins.

Shipbuilder: Woah, woah, woah. Hold on there, sir. We can't accept these; If you're going to pay, then it has to be in cash.
...I see.

King K. Rool pulls out... A credit card!? Since when did he manage to get his hands on a credit card!?

Shipbuilder: I said in CASH. Credit cards are not accepted here.
WHAT!? What kind of low-class business are you trying to run here, anyways!?
Shipbuilder: Look, sir. I'm just trying to provide for my family. You'd understand that, right? ...You DO have a family, right?
Well, I have a brother... I once ordered him to destroy DK Island, but I ended up locking him away when he refused. The Kongs freed him, and all the while he opened up the locations of which I-
Shipbuilder: Ok, ok, sheesh. Forget I asked. Just... Look. We only accept USD here. End of story. So, do you have the money or not?
...
...I'll be right back.

K. Rool exits the building. A few moments later, he charges right back in with his Blunderbuss and Kaptain outfit!

Alright, listen here, you fleshbag! My ship was destroyed in a massive, apocalyptic explosion that everyone only survived because of who knows what! I cannot be a Kaptain without a ship to sail, and you will either give it to me, or I'm taking that head of yours off your shoulders!
Shipbuilder: GAH! Alright, alright, just take the ship! Just please, don't point that thing at me!

---

Several hours later...

Oh ho ho... Ladies and gentlekremlings, I bring you... The Gangplank Galleon II!

K. Rool unveils a brand new ship, three times the size of the original Gangplank Galleon!

Ah... Isn't she a beaut? Why have I ever wanted my old ship back from that Tepid guy when this baby was worth every cost!
Uh, but boss? We didn't pay nothin'. You robbed the place mere seconds ago.
...Like I said, Klump. Every. Cost.
Now, enough talk... It's time to set our course!
Uh, sure, boss... But to where?
Why, where else, Krusha? To DK Island, of course!

King K. Rool and the Kremlings climb aboard the Gangplank Galleon II, then sets sail for DK Island!

Eh, he's probably doing something completely unimportant.

---

AOSTH Robotnik laughs maniacally as he is working on Orchestra.

---

...Like his Mean Beans.

---

Back at Little Papa Beta's, a tiny figure seems to be eating a similarly tiny pizza...

This pizza... It's so delectable... And better yet, they were able to make it in my size! And it appears to only be available on the surface...
If I were to take this pizza to the Chum Bucket and analyze its contents, I could sell this stuff and run Krabs out of business...
...And then I, Sheldon J. Plankton, will rule over the entire ocean! Mwahahahahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-

Plankton is interrupted by Reggae stepping on him, seeming to not notice he was there.

Ew, I think I stepped on a bug! A bug, SQUAWK!

Over with Beta Shadow and Ninja Phantom...

Well, things might've been bumpy, but at least it turned out well in the end.
Yeah, sure seems to be the case. Though, that isn't to say you should go against my wishes more often, Phantom.
Hey, get off my case, alright? I mean, we still managed to stop Beta Devil, did we?
Yeah, we did. And then we didn't. And now, he's still alive. Without his Anti-Omni powers, granted.
Hey. Whatever works, right?
Yeah, whatever works.

...That being said... There has been a single question on the mind recently. Regarding those Dead Zone portals...
Ah, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm pretty sure some precautions are going to be made to keep Dark Prince from reaching a critical state again.
No, that wasn't what I was talking about... You know how Gamma Crystal also escaped from there, right?
I do... Your point?
Well, I'm just wondering... How did the residents of the Mirror World wind up in the Dead Zone to begin with?
Oh, that? Funny story, actually... It happened a few weeks after I cancelled the MMRPG TCG. You see, I didn't exactly want to have more of those Mirror World guys coming in, so I kinda just... Snuck into RSB's side of the Realm between Dimensions and erased the Dimension Mirror from existence.
...You. Erased the Dimension Mirror. From existence.
Hey, it was the safest thing I could do, ok? I didn't know how to seal it closed, and Matt forbid what would've happened if I just went and shattered the thing. So, I did the only thing I could do. THAT way, nothing from the Mirror World can get in our world, and nothing could happen to the mirror or anyone in it.
And you don't think that Gamma Jewel would be smart enough to bring it back with him from the Dead Zone?
Even if he did, what's the worse that could happen?

Well, I'm not sure... But at least now there's nobody to get in the way of our plans.

---

What in the name of Mobius was THAT!?
I am unsure... But I do believe that our little scaly "friend" has been destroyed!
And not a moment too soon. Look!
W̧ E̴ ̀E ͢G E ҉E̷ ͠. .̨ .͘
Weegee the Doombringer is getting away! Quickly, the Dark Artifacts of YTP!

AOSTH Robotnik, CD-i Ganon, and I.M. Meen pulls out the Can of PRINGAS, the Triforce of Power, and I.M. Meen's Book, respectively, and seals Weegee away!

Whew, thank Robbie... If that Weegee were to be let out onto the rest of the Universe, it would spell certain doom for all... Us included!
Exactly... If Weegee was to destroy the Earth, there'd be none of it left for us to conquer! That's why we sealed him away to begin with!
That being said, Robotnik... I believe this makes our business here concluded. Call us if you are ever in need of our power again.
Actually, I might need a little bit of help repairing the-

CD-i Ganon and I.M. Meen warps off elsewhere.

...Drat. It seems I have no choice but to do the repairs mysel-

Suddenly, something else crashes into the AOSTH Death Egg!

Oh, now what!? I swear, if that's that rambunctious rodent, I'll-
...Hello, what's this?

AOSTH Robotnik finds an unconscious Orchestra! Huh, I kinda wondered where this guy was heading.

Hm... This robot could be the key component... To get rid of that meddling hedgehog once and for all!

Hold on a second. What's that Golden Glow up there?

Something seems to be glowing up in space! Let's find out what it is...

---

Ok, that was the last of the last straws... Say goodbye to your putrid little-

As Jazz turns to face the Earth, he sees Kirby, who is powering up the Star Rod!

...You wouldn't DA-
Pu-YO! (Take THIS!)

Kirby blasts Jazz Hands with the Star Rod!

N... No...! I will not be beaten like this! I WILL NO-
...Is that a dragon?

Sure enough, Jazz and the Star Rod's blast crashes right into Fafner! The Star Rod's blast continues to carry the two, running into Wariegg, when suddenly...

BOOM! The blast explodes into a star-shaped light, destroying Jazz, Fafner, and Wariegg in one solid hit!

...Pu puyo puyo! (My work here is done!)

Kirby flies back to Little Papa Beta's.

---

...Well, that's that.
Now, hold on just a minute! What about the other villains that escaped from the Dead Zone!?
Actually, it seems that the explosion from the Star Rod created some falling stars that, according to my calculations-
OUR calculations.
-Are actually going to work in our favor... The trajectory of the stars seem to be aimed in a way that'll destroy all of the other villains that escaped from the Dead Zone!




So, what now? What now, SQUAWK?
...Celebrate?

A mumbling of agreement is spread throughout the entire Beta Team (also Devil and Omega) as they head on over to Little Papa Beta's.

---

Star Rod- (Crystal/Space) One of- if not the- most powerful weapons in the Omniverse. Its true power can only be wielded by Star Warriors like Kirby.

...How on Earth did he manage to-
There's a time and place for answers and it is neither here nor now. Now, come on, we need to hurry!

---

...Back in present times, the heroes look up at the laser, watching the attack on the apparition...

...Alright... Let's just hope it works...

---

Meanwhile with Jazz, he appears to be struggling with the will of Wario Man himself, trying hard not to end up killing himself...
