Ugh, mkalwqwnr...

The robot immediately zips over to Triton Bubble, grabbing him by the neck.

I swear, dead-brained no-life idiots like you are all over the place. I bet you can't come up with a single reason why you thought this was a good idea.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over your inflated ego.
Huh!?

>Headbutt

Triton Bubble immediately headbutts him, doing 8 Damage and sending him to the ground.

Ow! My nose, you prick! I hope you've enjoyed your past and present, because your future now is vo--

Before he can speak, Snapper comes out of nowhere, going after him with a Snapper Pinch, only to miss as the robot dodges.

Oh, that's it! You guys are really in for it n--
Stop.
Boss? These guys have decided to rain in on our parade! I've gotta teach them a lesson!
Now is not the time, Mode. We musn't attract a ruckus, lest our work in creating our current atmosphere go to waste. The Fake Men are likely on their way. You are to report back to base of operations.
...Oh, fine.

"Mode" immediately jumps into the air, as rocket jets on his boots appear. He then flies away via anti-charging his boots, traveling to the unknown.

Orb City Alleyway Meanwhile, a robot seems to be talking to a group of Metall outside their home.
I won't ask you again. The daily 5 million Zeni. Hand it over, or maybe I'll have to compensate by giving that nice house of your a redecoration!
(But that won't be ready for another 3 days! Can you please wait until then?)
Sorry. Things like these are non-negotiable.

The robot prepares several spheres of pure anti-matter (I repeat: anti-matter,) preparing to lob them at the house, when he sees something in the distance. It seems to be Triton Bubble making a battle cry of sorts, diving at the robot.

Triton Impact!
Oh you've gotta be kidding me.

the robot dodges before Triton Bubble can hit him, causing Triton Bubble to get his Trident stuck in the ground.

...That'll never work, will i--

Immediately he receives an negatively energized-kick, sending him crashing into another building!

Now that you've learned the basics, I trust you'll be able to go on your adventure to get stronger with success!
That's nice and all, but what am I supposed to do? I can't just go around beating up different people.
Oh, of course you can. You just need the right type of people to beat up.
Gotcha. So where're the bad guys?
(...I don't know if he's ready to take them on... One mistake can mean seriously fatal consequences. But this town needs to be freed from him at all costs... and it's not like the government's doing anything about it, either...)
...Listen closely.


....
...I'll stop them.
Huh?
Leave it to me. I'll not only protect the people of Orb City, and not only also show that stinkin' Crimson who the better bot is, but show him --along with the entire world-- That I. Am not. A joke.
Y-you mean it?
Of course.
Well... Let me get you your new Suit, first.

Alright! Time for an action packed adventure!!

Triton waves to Pop, who, still inside, waves back. Triton gives a silly thumbs up before hopping on an elastic Bubble and bounces away.

Good, I just brought back an old character from here

Incredible! (also, you get to keep Snapper. He won't despawn or disappear or anything like that until he's disabled.)
...Until?
Uhhhhhh let's move on! There's one more key element that you need to learn. But I'm not sure you'd like it.
Please, there's no task I can't handle!
So you'll be okay with Running away?
Fleeing is a task I can't handle!
Ugh. Look, Triton, as strong as you may grow to be, There will always be at least one unfavorable situation where you'll need to make a break for it. You can't risk your life as if it's nothing.
Sorry Poppy, but running away's for cowards. As long as I live, I'll always fight to the very--

You're a quick learner! Now try teaching this Sandbag a lesson! Now let's see your special actions!

Pop through some unexplained means unlocks Triton Bubble's special actions, giving him access to his Water Moves and Mecha Support!

Triton Bubble summons... Snapper. Snapper looks at Triton Bubble.

'Sup, boss?
Help me kick that stinkin' dummy's behind!
...The chick?
No! The white-pinkish one!

Out from the Snapper's pinchers comes a blast of water, soaking the Crystal Sandbag violently, doing 8 damage total!

Awesome!

Simulation Room This is where you'll learn the basics. Everyone has four actions. Attack, Defend, Item, or Run. First you'll be learning to Attack.

Pop creates a Crystal Construct-esque Sandbag.

Now, use a Regular Attack on the Sandbag. Don't worry about any consequences.

2 minutes later, Triton Bubble finds himself back-first on the ground, wounded. After obtaining an easy victory, Soul had decided to leave out of boredom.

......How'd I end up like this? I trained for four years just to win! ...Was that really all for nothing?
Maybe what you need is guidance... from others?
...Who?
Hey! I... noticed you were having a bit of trouble back there. Sorry about my brother, he can be a big jerk sometimes.

Triton Bubble receives an swift kick, sending him not only flying, but in a state of pure disbelief. He gets up, astonished

His lack of care in the world for anything isn't healthy for him. What he needs is a motivator. Something to rile him up. Something to give him a challenge. Or maybe... someone.
...Yeah, sure. Why not?

Special Actions:
Water Moves: Special Attacks that are learned through leveling up. Starting Weapon is Bubble Spray.
Mecha Support: Mechas that can be summoned to fight alongside Triton Bubble. Summoned Mechas become
more powerful with the higher the user's level is. Only 3 Mechas can be summoned at maximum, although they can still carry over with the user with their next battle. Starting Mecha is Snapper

Pop isn't really planned to be a teammate ATM. She's more like an NPC.

Industrial Factory ZoneNature Bro. and Thunder Bro. both land hard as they skid onto the floor.

You all talked tough, but in the end, you're nothing on your own! Individually, you're all weaklings!
I-impossible...
Oh, it's very possible. In fact, it's the reality you're living in.

Wario walks to the weakly grounded pair.

I'm not gonna act like I've never used teamwork to my advantage-- Hell, it's being part of this dastardly duo that partially defines me! But you three? You're novices! Hardly have any battle sense. All that research and what have you done with it? I'm honestly kinda disappointed. I expected this to be a good fight, but you all came up short.

Wario cracks his knuckles. Waluigi, who spent this entire time retrieving the other half of the Hammer Gang, teleports back, dropping the other two in the rest of a pile. Wario grabs the four by their necks.

This fight... is over. I'm not havin' any more of you four's nonsense! Now scram!

Wario cartoon-style wraps the four of them into one large ball, and chucks them out of the building and into the sky. Wario and Waluigi, however, do not they're mysterious warping away during their flight however.

Welp, that takes care of that!

Wario whistles, summoning forth their Car immediately, which goes directly through the building unharmed. The two hop in and continue on in their adventure. Though as they make their trip forward on the outisde... Someone on a distant rooftop watches.

We'll humor them. But if it ever slips by that they are for whatever reason in mortal danger, help will be mandatory.

---

Industrial Factory Zone
Wario jumps out of the Industrial Factory, only to find scattered hammers everywhere.

...What the?

They begin to glow with heat, and then rapidly explode everywhere around Wario, who shields himself. as the dust settles, Wario is still upright, but notably injured.

...is ... 'zat all you've got?
Trust me, that's not even the worst of what we have to off--

Before Fire Bro. can finish, he is immediately socked in the face and torso several times. Wario then grabs him, pummels him repeatedly, spins him in a circle and sends him flying miles away!

...Hmph. Serves him right.

Wario jumps back in the Factory to assist Waluigi.

---

Graylight Capital Zone This is the end of the line for you, lanky!
...You all have no idea what history lies behind that name.

Water Bro. throws Hydro Hammers at Waluigi, who deflects them with his tennis racket. Waluigi, realizing the benefit that holds with this, taunts them, shaking and slapping his rear at them

Come on, come on! Gimme your best shot!
Why, you--!

The three begin attempting to pelt him with Hammers, each throwing dozens. Waluigi, however reflects each and every one of them!

What the hell!?
Now it's my turn!

Waluigi grabs and reels Aqua Bro. in with a Shadow Vine, pulling him within his range. He then Smash-style stomps on him before kicking him away into his shell form!

Wahah! Who else wants a piece of the ol' One Two Waluigi?
(Damn! How'd he take Aqua out so fast? I'd better watch out for those legs of his.)

He nods to Thunder Bro. as the both of them charge at Waluigi in their Shells. Sure enough, before they can connect, Wario jumps in and Shoulder Bashes the two away!

Perfect timing, eh?
You mean you were going to let me get beat to a pulp just for the opportunity to get the drop on them?
Hey, whatever works, works, alright?

---

Racket Reflect (Shield)- Waluigi uses his Tennis Racket to deflect incoming projectiles. Can deflect virtually anything, and is limited primarily to Waluigi's reflexes.

Industrial Factory Zone Silence ensues. Both parties wait in silence for the beginning of the battle. Wario looks towards Waluigi, and vice versa. Both exchange various glares seconds before... running away?

Waluigi quickly throws a Purple Vine, grabbing Wario in one arm and swinging away.

Tally ho!
DON'T LET 'EM ESCAPE!

The Hammer Gang takes chase and throws hammers at them. The Bros. are successful in evading them... until they crash right into a dead end. Dizzy, Wario and Waluigi get back up.

Sugh much fuh takhticul retreaaat...
LOOK OUT!

A flaming red shell flies in Wario's direction. Wario manages to catch it in motion before it can hit him. The force behind it, however, pushes them both back and through the wall, isolating them both and leaving Waluigi on his own. He turns to the three remaining Hammer Gang members.

So, uh... Nice weather we're having, huh?

---

Peach's Castle ...How long have I been standing here again?

Toadsworth suddenly hears a loud yelping noise, coming from a purple device on the ground.

WAAHAAAHAAH! HELP!
That must be Master Waluigi!

Toadsworth picks up the device and tries speaking into it.

Where are you two? Are the both of you okay?
We're *ouch!* fine, thank you! We're at some robot factory zone! We found some of Bowser's goons here!
Well, better progress than I expected. You two hang in there, we'll send help--
Don't *eugh* you *ack* dare! We're doing this on our own!
But--

The sound of a miniature tornado is heard through the device. Once it stops, Waluigi continues.

We don't want your help! Those smug suck-up brothers, those gorillas, even that green dinosaur has had his time to shine! Now it's our turn! The Wario Bros. will prove that they are number--

A large impact noise is made, interrupting Waluigi. He continues weakly.

...one.
Ughh.

---

Purple Vine (Shadow/Nature)- The user pulls a purple vine from under their sleeve. This vine can be used for several purposes, such as grabbing various objects, or acting as a whip.

Guess what, bored and I won't have enough space to edit. Double post again!

---

Industrial Factory Zone Wario, albeit slowly, gets up, standing on his feet.

Alright... What're your deals?
You all have been a thorn in his majesty Bowser's side for far too long to tolerate! We're here to end this little uprising of you two before you get anywhere else!
Cute. And what makes you three different from any other of the regular fodder?
*scoff* As different as it takes to beat lowlife thieves such as yourselves.
Ugh, again with the Nintendo progaganda!? It's all lies, I tell you!
Trust us, tubby, we've done our fair share of research. 'sides... what are you gonna do, steal all the Hammers we throw?
Depends. How much are they worth?
ENOUGH!

The Green Hammer Bro throws a Poison Hammer straight towards Wario's direction. Before he has a chance to act, Waluigi deflects the hammer back with his tennis racket, doubling the previous effects!

Hah! How d'ya--

The Green Bro, not even fazed, turns his back as the red one deflects it to a distant wall by intercepting it in his shell form.

...Hmmm.
Wario... these guys really aren't playing.
Well, we'll just have to slap them silly until they run home to their mommy!

He then turns to the Hammer Gang.

...While we're on the subject, it's not too late to start running! We might even give you a ten-second head start!
Hah! It's just as he said. You're too blindsided by your hubris to see where you story ends! His callousness will reward us handsomely for bringing you in.

The four group together, each bringing out two hammers in each hand, though with different elements surrounding them.

Whether it be alive... or dead. This will be the end of the line for your adventure!

Industrial Factory Zone Alright, which one of you snot-snortin' lackeys here have decided to get the poundin' of their lifetimes?

Faster than Wario can react to, a flamming hammer knocks him into the same wall into Waluigi!

...Wh--what was that about being smooth, Wario?
Shut... *cough* ...up. L-lucky shot...

We can assure you that the both of your backs being up against the wall are in no way factored by luck.

Four figures step out from the shadows, each of equal size.

Prepare for trouble, in the form of four!
You've meddled too far, and now you'll be floored!
Mysterious as the night, and sharper than fangs...
Your next foes will be...

...The Hammer Gang!

...Corny.

The hammer next to Waluigi suddenly bursts with electricity, shocking him to his core.

Industrial Factory Zone Waluigi and Wario, now without their Car for whatever reason, walk through the factory.

...Ya know, I can't help but shake the feeling there's another underlying threat at bay here.
Whaddya mean?
I mean, don't you find the giant robo-head that tried killing us a little... familiar looking?
Come to think of it... he does remind me of that metal creep that showed up back at home.
Yeah, but I could've sworn I thrashed him into oblivion! Something's obviously not right here...
Maybe it's the the fact that you are trespassing on key territory. Back off, or else we'll be forced to--

The Koopa is immediately grabbed by a purple vine of Waluigi's. Following this, he is reeled in and kicked several times, and then swung at all the other enemies.

Hahah! I'm da winn-

Waluigi is sent crashing into one of the walls by a stray hammer.

...did anyone get the number on that liscense plate?
Smooth, Waluigi. Reeeeaaal smooth.

??? Ngah! Those blasted clowns!
Oh, what're you blubbering on about now?
Those two misdemeanorly menaces downed the Somaton! And nearly unscathed, no less!
That's what's got you freaking out? Hah! Maybe you should man --or whatever we are-- up! There's no need to be so worried when they've hardly scratched the surface of what's next!
That isn't it! It seems they've gotten help from a certain assailant! Why was this person even there in the first place!?
Will you quit being a sissy? That thing was the equivalent of bait. The real challenge will come sooner than this. And no stupid time-killers will be there to rain on our parade when it comes.

Another silhouette steps from the shadows.

Shall I exterminate them?
Not yet. We're saving our best for last. And once we crush those peons... nothing will be in our way.

In the other side of the room, two other identical figures, one in a round mini-mobile, converse.

Tada! with my Shadow disguise, and my Magic Paintbrush, there's no one in the world who can beat me!
Hmm. Not bad... though I believe that with a little more fine-tuning and technological assistance, you'll be able to do even more!
Huh? You really think so?
I know so. Follow me!

the two leave the room to what seems to be a highly advanced technological room, stuffed with all sorts of Gadgetry.

Skywards Koopa Zone - Act 3 Somaton explodes underwater once being defeated as to not have another Null moment.

Skyward Koopa Zone - Act 3 The robot head turns, and shoots Eye Lasers, Missiles, and bolstered gunfire at the direction the fire came from.

I'll take the yoke from here, Wario! Now's our chance! Use that stored up Waft energy!
On it!

The Car-Jet soars, all the while dodging fire from the robot head. After reaching their desired velocity, Wario dives off, aiming directly at the head As he dives, his position changes into that of a ground pound, falling at the robo-head.

I'M-A-GONNA WIN!!! HYYYYAGH!

Wario while ground-pounding the head unleashes a devastating fiery Wario Waft on the robot head, damaging it as it falls into the ocean. While falling Waluigi catches Wario with the Jet.

Oh yeah! How'dya like that, Bowser!? Did you see me out there!? In my Fire form I'll be unstoppable!!
*snicker*
What's so funny, you nincompoop!?
Oh, it's just that it's funny you're "fired up" when your form couldn't withstand that attack due to the humongous output of your long-charged... flatulence.
Wait, what?

Wario looks back at himself. Sure enough, he finds himself at a lack of his fire outfit, having reverted back to his regular self.

Wahahahah! Waha-
'Doh!!

Wario frustratedly socks Waluigi right in the head, creating a cartoonish-sized lump.

Ouchies!

Notably hurt, though more miffed than anything else, Walugi rubs the lump.

That reminds me... where did that laser come from?

Skyward Koopa Zone - Act 3 Combat routine initiated.
Here we go!

The giant robot activates it's Eye Lasers, attempting to vaporize the pair or neutralize their Car-Jet. Surprisingly, Wario's maneuvering manages to keep it at bay, dodging each time. Waluigi tries throwing ammunition of his own, but none are sufficient enough to penetrate the robot.

Drat! How're we supposed to beat this hunk-a-junk, anyway?
Whatever plan we find, we have to act fast! We can't evade this thing forever!
Hey, Wario! You think we should use... it!?
No way in hell! That technique is saved specifically for that big bastard Bowser! We can't afford to squander it's grace on this metal menace!
(That reminds me... We left all our treasure back at home unguarded! Rubies, gems, diamonds, the whole enchilada! We really do have to do this quickly! I won't tolerate any thieves that try to sneak their way into the Estate!)

Open Grass Field X seconds before our current boss battle...
It's been such a long while... I wonder if there's anything left for us to do in the world now.
Yeah. It is nice that you got your scar fixed, though. You even got to keep your new friend.
You've been living a calm and peaceful life. Why not look for some adventure?
The concept... Doesn't quite seem right with me. I know what this world can do. It'll chew you up and spit you out. So why bother doing the fighting? I should just hang back and see what life has in store for us.
I see. So you're scared, then.
Wh-what the--!? Scared!? I'm not s-scared!! I'm--

A. Rock sees an extremely large, redd-ish capped metallic head flying in a certain direction.

...A big baby. That is what I am.
Hah!

A. Rock in retaliation punches Mech-tenants arm, who rubs it slightly miffed.

Skyward Koopa Zone - Act 3 Wahahah! Waluigi number o--

From behind Waluigi rains down a maelstrom of bolsted bulletry, pelting Waluigi and forcing him off the Jet-Car.

Ha! That's what you get for calling yourself number o-- I MEAN WALUIGI!!!

Wario quickly dives down and catches the now depowered Waluigi with the Jet-Car. While piloting Wario turns his head to Waluigi.

Ouch. Those were no normal pieces of ammo, that's for sure.
You gonna be alright?
I'll be fine! Someone as magnificent as myself would have to!
If you say so. But whatever attacked us...

The two turn their heads completely to see a large-headed figure floating in the sky...

Intruders found. "Wario" and "Waluigi".
...You will be warned once. Leave and do not return. Any refusal will result in your elimination.
Karma's a B, eh, Wario?
Oh, shut up!
