Meanwhile, a blue robot in a purple cloak appears to have left one of the non-existence portals just in the nick of time...

...Whew. Barely made it...
...It's a good thing the portals are closed now, though... Now, no other villain can make their getaway...
...There have been a few heroes, who managed to escape through the portals before I did... I must find them, so that we may band together and force the villains back to the land of the dead, where they belong... For the sake of the future...

...It's time that I, Epsilon, make my move.

The cashier, who seems to be a newly hired member for a newly installed 3rd line, writes the information down and hands it over to Papyrus.



The waiter, who I will make unknown until I have an idea on who to make it, takes Mr. Dink to his seat. The cashier looks over and sighs...

K. Rool is waiting at the Dock, seeming to yell at a pair of Kremlings carrying a large, heavy chest.

Hurry up, you fools! What am I paying you numskulls for?
Uh, you don't pay us at all, boss.
Not being sharkbait is your payment! Now, hurry up with that chest! They could arrive here at any moment!

Back with Beta Man, it seems two other robots- Sergeant Man and Ninja Man- have made it to Matt's dimension quite some time ago...

...I don't know, guys. I don't think I have the same kind of potential in me...
Nonsense, Sarge! In this world, just about anything's possible!
"Just about" is putting it mildly... But personally, I feel like we're wasting time with this.

Ninja Man is in his Omega Form, basically proving that all Ninja Men (Phantom included) is capable of the form. Beta Man, on the other hand, seems to be sporting a new, yet familiar form...

Nonsense, Ninja. Matt said we all have something within us. Potential yet untapped. I've already tapped into mine.
Uh, yeah. After one sparring match. Which makes me wonder how "new" that form of yours really is.
You have to admit, Beta. There's something... familiar about this form.
...Come to think of it, yeah... There is an air of familiarity to this form... Like I've achieved it before...
...But whenever I try to think about it, I get a mild headache, then lose my track of thought... Which I don't get why I've been getting that a lot recently.
...Like that Skull Reaper guy. I feel like I know him from somewhere, aside from being Skull Man from another universe... But no matter how hard I try, I can't put my finger on it... Like there's some kind of mental block in my brain, preventing me from putting the pieces together.
Yeah... What is that guy even up to right now, anyways?

---

Skull Reaper, somewhere around the world, has been destroying things left and right, trying to search for Null.

Where. The Hell. IS HE!?!?!?

---

Eh, probably nothing important.
Look, we're getting off track. Now, I'm sorry that I don't exactly have an "Alpha" form like you, or an "Omega" form like Ninja. I don't have a "Theta Sigil" like Rotom, or a "Triple Gear" like MegaBoy.
I'm just me, ok? Now, let's give it a rest. We don't exactly have the time for that before it's time to head on out, anyways.

Sergeant Man heads off elsewhere, while Beta and Ninja looks at each other, shrugs, and heads off to do some slight sparring.

...Beta, Ninja, and Sergeant Z, however, was watching the conversation from a distance...

...Yikes. Poor Sergeant...
I'm not surprised, really... Us Sergeants always get the short end of the stick.
I mean... He was brutally beaten by RSB's knock-off Papyrus in the middle of battle, then "killed" by Darkrai and kidnapped by Ninja Ghost. And that was before his entire world was erased.
...And then there's me... Captured by the same Ghost's goons, converted into his servant, with plans to unleash on you two... Only to be stolen by Jazz, with the purpose of kidnapping everyone's characters to get the attention of the Reapers...

Sergeant Z clenches his fist for a brief moment, before turning and walking away.

...Maybe if we weren't the punching bags of the Multiverse, we'd have better potential... But we aren't as immune to the insulting way we're treated than we pretend to be...

...Drama queen.

Beta Man Z slaps Ninja Man Z in the face in response.

LOOK. I'M WILLING TO LET BYGONES BE BYGONES AT THIS POINT. RECENT EVENTS HAVE KINDA... LED ME TO THINK. ESPECIALLY ON HOW MUCH I TEND TO... OVERREACT.

-FLASHBACK-



-END OF FLASHBACK-

...SO I WANT TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEM... WITH THE PORTALS CLOSING, AND NOT ALL OF YOUR MASTERS RETURNING, LEADING TO THOSE WHO HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DEAD ZONE ONCE THEY DO. FOR THAT... I'M WILLING TO LEND YOU A WISH. AND WORRY NOT... SOMEONE ELSE HAS MANAGED TO SOLVED... THAT SPECIFIC PROBLEM. REGARDING THE WISH CORE.
...HOWEVER. THERE ARE TWO THINGS I WANT IN RETURN.
FIRST. I NEED YOUR HELP TO DEVELOP A NEW SYSTEM FOR WISHMAKING. I MEAN, I DON'T WANT SOME RANDOM SPACE-DWELLING NUTJOB TO RUN UP TO ME AND MAKE WISHES LEFT AND RIGHT... OR WORSE YET, WISHING TO END THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
THE GRAND STARS WERE HELPFUL IN THIS CASE, BUT... SOME PURPLE GUY WITH TIME ABILITIES MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE CAUSED THE GRAND STARS TO MERGE WITH ME, BRINGING BACK ALL THE POWER- ASIDE FROM WISHING- THAT I HAD ONCE LOST. SO, I'LL NEED SOMETHING NEW AND SIMILAR.

SECOND OFF... I'D ALSO LIKE TO REQUEST THAT, ONCE I WISH FOR THE FORMERS TO BE ALIVE AND WELL, AND ONCE WE FIXED THE PROBLEM IN REGARDS TO A WISHING SYSTEM... I'D LIKE TO BE LEFT ALONE FROM YOU GUYS AND WHATNOT. YOU KNOW, FREE TO DO WHAT I WANT WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT A COUPLE OF METS PROBABLY TRYING TO FORCE ME BACK INTO A LIFE OF CONSTANT RANDOM TESTS AND WHATNOT. OR... WHATEVER IT WAS YOU PLANNED ON DOING WITH ME.
SO... ARE WE IN AGREEMENT?

...About that. Whatever data you may find... You may find it a little "out-of-date". During the reprogramming, I have learned from the robot's coding that its name was "Defteros"... As well as it being built for the purpose of bringing peace. Naturally, I removed any trace of the robot's original name and purpose. I gave them a NEW purpose, under me... As well as a new name, fitting of the Kremling klan.
What you may find in that little database of yours to be "Defteros"... Is now Kahtos, Second-in-Command of the Kremling Krew.

Huh? But I thought I was Second-in-Command...
Yes... We'll need to have a talk about that later, Klump.
...I will be docking at Mega City Bay to pick up the new adaptor, and will be waiting there with the money. Have yourself a good day.

K. Rool hangs up, his business concluded.

---

(Kahtos is a derivative of dekatos, the Greek word for "tenth")

Alright, let's return to K. Rool...

I'll have you know I have an extremely vast treasury. That even includes the legendary Golden Meme, a source of infinite wealth! I'm more than able to afford it. And just as willing to pay any price.
Now, then... I feel like the robot's adaptor should match the motif of the Kremling Krew... So, a small Crocodile animal companion feels best. As for the weapons... Surprise me. Just make sure the adaptor is ONLY compatible with the robot model...
...Say, Klump? What was the robot's Model Number again?

Gosh darn it, K. Rool, pick a mugshot and stick with it!

Uhhhhh, SON-00A, sir.
...The robot model SON-00A.

Matt lets the pair go, then heads off to check up on everyone else.

---

A figure suddenly appears at the brig of the Former Metalls' ship!

I THINK I MAY KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP... IN EXCHANGE FOR A FEW THINGS.

Suddenly, Quartet Enterprises gets a phone call!

---

Alright, enough is enough!

Matt suddenly appears behind both Root AND Null, grabbing them both by the collars!

Ok, you two... I don't know how you got in here, but you'd BOTH better give me one good reason why I shouldn't erase you BOTH from existance.

Beta Devil steps in to halt the fight, then turns his attention to A. Rock...

Now, now... I've already agreed to let you and your company alone.

Suddenly, with a wave of Beta Devil's hand, a bit of a firm hold is placed on A. Rock's mind!

Now, why don't you just run along... And find something more useful with your time?

A strange sensation tries to force A. Rock to forget about Alt Break Man and Beta Devil, and walk away... Beta Devil turns his attention back to Alt Wily.

As I was going to say... Glad to see you are cooperative, doctor...
Sorry for scaring your target away like that... But honestly, I feel he would be a waste of time, energy, and resources. After all, he isn't your Rock, so why should we feel any sort of concern?

Alt Wily is suddenly given blueprints... All of which are copies of the Mighty Numbers! He is also given a collection of Anti-Omni Corrupted Xels!

...I would like for you to construct these robots using the materials sent to you. Then, you will send them after their counterparts from THIS world, based off of who our side's version is strong against... I should be able to find them by time you are done, so I'll send you the coordinates by then.

I'll let you know if I need anything else from you... Until then, I'll be seeing you around...

Beta Devil then heads on his way to... Who knows where at this point.

Suddenly, a figure appears in front of Alt. Break Man, catching the shot with his bare hand... It's none other than Beta Devil!

Tsk, tsk, tsk... Really now? Why are you wasting your time with a version of Alt. Rock that was proven to be from a different world than yours? And before you say otherwise... Let me just say to your "Higher Up at the Tower" that it is a little unfair to play around with someone else's stories for your own benefit. I mean, I understand that "a world where anything can happen" is the point of this roleplay, but really now...

...But, I digress... There are matters far more important than this... Well. To me anyways.

Suddenly, a red glow wraps around Alt. Break Man, infecting him with the Anti-Omni Corruption!

Now... Take me to your leader, won't you? I'd like to have a bit of a word with him...

@Soren : I'd rather this thread be forgotten tbh

It's... Kinda pointless, and from a time when I thought it would be cool to try and play off of Spinstrike's Make-a-Moveset thread. Which, no, it wasn't.

I think it's best this thread stays dead.

It appears that the Cathedral wasn't as abandoned as previously thought, for now both opposing sides have been frozen in time, in a matter that ignores any resistances to time-based abilities!

YOUR throne? I'm sorry, it appears there has been a mistake...

Suddenly, Delta Paradox- with a fancy, new helmet- appears from the shadows!

...This place belongs to ME. And I have the deed proving so.

Delta Paradox shows the Deed to the Clock Cathedral, which has Delta Paradox's name AND signature on it, as well as an official stamp of approval from the Mega City Council!

Now, I don't understand what the big deal is with either of you, but this is the SECOND time this place has been taken over. Naturally, I'm rather upset about it.

Suddenly, Delta Paradox changes into a new form, Overclocked Paradox!

I believe it is about time you took this little skirmish of yours somewhere else... Or, rather...
...Somewhen else.

Overclocked Paradox suddenly sends Other Dark Prince, Dark Elf, and their allies to 1,000,000 years in the past!

...Huh, whoops. I think I might've caused a split in the timeline.
...Ah, whatever. That stuff's normal for this roleplay.

An advertising billboard for Little Papa Beta's Pizza Hut Palace Imporium seems to catch Mr. Dink's eye...

---

Back with K. Rool(enstein) and Defteros...

Ah, yes... Zee repairs are fully complete! I've only got to add two more zings...
One vill be ein brand new Adaptor, inspired from zat zimilarly-dezigned red robot zat I zaw zee other day... I plan on calling zis "Quartet Enterprizes" I've been hearing about to do zee vork for us, so zat shall take some time.
Until zen, ve'll just vork on another zing... Reprogramming your brain to make vu loyal to me- Err, to K. Rool und zee Kremling Krew!
Uh, bo-
Baron.
Err, Baron. Are ya sure we should be not only doing this to them, but also telling this to them, while they are still active?
Nonzenze! Zey haven't squirmed ein inch ven I began operading on zem! In fact, zey zeem just as mentally broken as zey vere phyzically!
Trust me, Klump... Zis is for zee greater good... For zem UND zee Kremling Krew! Now, hold still, mein good friend... Zee only zing vu'll feel is minor confuzion zat'll last only one moment...

Beta Devil raises his arms in the air, as a token of surrender.

...Heh. Fair enough. This has been informative enough... I'll take my leave. My time in this stolen body is almost up, anyways.
...But first... A warning, if you will. You say that the monster has been dealt with... But for how much longer? His will is, after all, a very powerful sort. It's not like Prototype HASN'T inherited his from somewhere else.
So for the sake of yourself, your company, your boy, and the world... You'd better hope to have a plan for when he inevitably escapes. Otherwise... Things will not end well for you ESPECIALLY.

...A devil never forgets one's sins. Nor does he ever let anyone else forget them, either.

Beta Devil is then forced out of the Mech-KII, causing it to fall to the floor.

A lot he doesn't know indeed...

Suddenly, Beta Devil, possessing the body of one of the Mech-KIIs, walks up towards Hades!

I apologize for stealing the bodies of one of your little droids, but this was the only way for me to get inside... And with the strange force trying to keep foreign energies out... Well, I'll try my best to make this quick.
I've been doing a little thinking about the world where Alt Rock came from... A universe doesn't just disappear on it's own, now does it?
Now, of course, I don't know everything... I've been wrong with Rotom's Reaper being the original Rotom before. It's possible for me to be wrong again.
...But. Since I know you'd likely never reveal such a thing to him- if it were true- as to not lose your firm grip on him... I'd like to know something, in regards to his universe.
...You- or, rather, a part of you- wouldn't happen to know anything about the disappearance of A. Rock's universe, would you?

Before answering Mighty, Matt turns to Volt Man.

...Harpy might just be our greatest weapon against these villains. It is of upmost importance that she learns how to use her new powers as the Omni-Meme. And if this is the place for her to learn, then so be it.

Matt turns to Mighty and thinks for a moment.

As for your request... Hm...

Matt then snaps his fingers, and suddenly, a door to a freshly created robot factory, made with the same capabilities that were requested of Mighty, is made!

...I do now. Go ahead and create as many robots as you see fit.
...Though, I wouldn't worry too much about what's going on out there...

...I've already got a guy working on that.

---

...So you're saying that every villain to have ever existed is escaping from the Otherworld?
That's right, man. And I'm, like, gathering all of the Omniverse's heroes to try and stop it.
...And I'm not going to like saying this, but... I'm even willing to, like, teach you the full power of my Ultra Instinct to help stop them.
...So that explains why creeps like Cell or even Black came back...
...These other guys... They're gonna be super strong, right?
Like, man... I'm not exaggerating when I say that these are, like, the toughest goons in the entire Omniverse, man!
...Heh heh... That sounds exciting! Count me in!
It's, like, good to have you on board... Son Goku.
