...

While all the other Toads express their equally evident feelings of surprise, Toadsworth in pure disbelief turns around, removes his glasses, wipes them with a pocket rag and looks back at Aratis while putting them back on, realizing that this is very real.

...And you are...?

Toadsworth raises an eyebrow in confusion.

And you're sure 'yelling for help' will magically bring someone to come help us.

Toadsworth smacks Gutsman F.C with his rod.

TWO BOWSERS!? Why would you suggest such a preposterous idea!? It's evident that if it the person who kidnapped the princess was him, then Bowser came... up... with...
(...He didn't burst in and make a public entrance, which is his key calling card... a second Bowser is outlandish... But could there be another enemy at hand in cooperation with him?)
This situation may prove more troublesome than expected. Quickly! We must contact Master Mario and--
Uh... not to intrude... But we don't even know where he is.

??? A large, bulky silhouette approaches another equally bulky one, the latter standing up tall with his back turned. He faces a motherboard stacked with countless computer screens. The former one speaks.

Gahahah! The deed has been done! We swiped 'er from under everyone's noses! Now nothing will stop me from crowning the princess as my bride!
I appreciate the bravado, my fiendish fellow, but we have a problem on our hands at the moment.

The second one points to one of the screens. In it, Wario and Waluigi, although powered up, seem to be riding inside their Wario Car, Wario blasting each and every enemy in the way with a barrage of fireballs and Waluigi throwing a near-limitless onslaught of flaming Bob-ombs.

Is that all you punks are made of? At this rate, we'll pummel that plump turtle in small time!
Yeh! It's time to turn up the heat!

The second figure turns to the first one.

It seems these two somehow know of your kidnapping. And this early, nonetheless! How can this be!?
Aw, don't get your shell spikes in a bunch! Even if these two clowns have found us out, they're still nothing but worthless jokes! There's no way they'll make it here!
Hmm. For your sake and mine, I hope you are correct. But in the off chance that they do succeed... It would be wise of us to send more men.
Wario... Waht'shisface... you two'll regret sticking your noses into our plan.

We'll make sure of it.

Factoring their speed on exit, it's likely they're far too gone to catch up with. The most we can do is wait for a chance to help.

Toadsworth walks over to the nearest Toad, waking him up.

Ugh... Wh--... What happened?
Evil happened, young lad. Evil.

---

Other World - Sacred World of the Kai Proteus and Defteros somehow warp in.

Where are we?
If my hunch is right, that voice does all the talking. Which means Walter is likely....

The two then hear mumbling from a distant location. They turn to see someone under a tree meticulously mashing their laptop.

Huh.
Who knew the perfect 10fps TAS run would be such a pain? Maybe if I backwards long jump here...
Yo!

Walter looks up to see Proteus and Defteros.

Oh. It's you guys. What are you doing here?
Oh, nothing. I was just wonder--
You want to me to use my super special guy powers to turn Defteros into your bad guy sidekick.
Please. Defteros is genuinely, sincerely, unironically killing me with kindness. Plus I feel kinda lonely.
...Look. You heard (the late) Regacron. The only person to decide for Defteros is Defteros. You're just going to have to come to terms with whatever choice is made by 'em.
*depressing groan*
Ooh! Ooh! I like your new outfit! Where'd it come from?
Oh, this stupid thing? It's my new uniform. I am the new Grande Supreme Kai and Guardian of the Seven World Rings.
Cool!
Hah, you really think so?
Ca--
No. I will NOT by any means unleash your full potential. You are far too impure for such and I will not by any means tolerate any inquiries on the matter from you. I have no intention of letting a potential 2nd Regulus have their way.
Damn!
...Well, worth a shot. Defteros. Come. We are leaving.
Okie dokie! Bye-bye, Oliver!
(........)
...Go, have fun... doing... whatever.

Proteus and Defteros teleport out of Other World, going back to their base. Walter goes back to doing whatever lame stuff he was doing before.

Peach's Castle Wario looks at Gutsman F.C, and frowns.

I meant a certain someone who's lean, mean, and a dancing machine... and judging from how you're the complete opposite... Yeah, sorry about that. Besides, the one in charge of those "best things" is currently missing.

He turns around, pulling out what seems to be a walkie-talkie. He speaks into it.

Come in, Waluigi! I need your help! And make sure to bring the Warimobile!

---

A few minutes later, Waluigi rams into the castle, riding a large purple Cadillac-like car.

Wa-hey! The life of the party has arrived!
Alright! You remember to bring the map!?
Did I?

Waluigi pulls out a scrolled paper and reaches out for Wario to see.

Of course I did! When have I ever let you down?
Perfect!

Wario then turns to Toadsworth.

Take care of these shrimps in this castle, why don't'cha!?
Good luck to you, Master Wario! I have no doubt you all will succeed!

Wario nods, and hops in the front seat next to Waluigi. The duo drive off, crashing through another wall on their way. Toadsworth sighs in exhaust as they leave the view.

(...They are going to fail miserably.)

Unfortunately, the doors are locked, preventing him from getting into the castle. F.C Guts hears a rumbling noise behind him...

---

Peach's Castle The games end here, Princess! Nothing will get in the way of ou--... my master plan. So you may as well say goodbye to the world you once knew!
You won't get away with this! M--
Oh, no you don't! I set things perfectly up so that no bothersome former-plumbers will be in my way! No one has any idea on the outside that this is happening!
*flies over to Bowser* The deed has been done, your heinousness. Everyone in the castle aside from us three is under a spell that will keep them hypnotized long enough for us to make our leave.
Gahahah! Perfect timing, Kamek! Now, let's hurry up and beat it already!

Bowser, grabbing Princess Peach, warps away with Kamek. Their method of transportation seems... peculiar.

---

Wario and Toadsworth, accidentally flattening F.C Guts Man on their way, burst into the castle all too late.

Oh, no! We're too late!
Welp, I tried, I really did. Guess you'll be looking for you-know-who for help no--
Now's not the time to leave the job undone! We have to do something!
...How much?
Pardon!?
...How. Much? You should know by now not to expect my services for free.
Ngh!!
Alright, alright! ...Though I'll need a little backup first.

Toad Town Huh. This place doesn't seem different at all...
I agree, Master Wario. There is a surprising shortage of villainy going around... Perhaps the situation has already been taken care of?
Wahah! As if anyone but me would be capable of putting that shell-head yourself!
Hmm...

As Wario and Toadsworth proceed, a variety of Toads look around at Wario at fear, disgust, and anger. Wario takes notable insult to the ongoing jeers but uncharacteristically does not engage. Toadsworth notes this.

Hmph! I'm starving! What's this lousy place got to eat!
If you haven't noticed, Master Wario, time is of the essence. We haven't a moment to spare thinking about our stomachs!?
Yeah, yeah! I can see that little Kingdom of yours up ahead. If we hurry, we might make it.
Steady on, then!

Wario dashes ahead, bulldozing through the Mushroom Kingdom at Peach's Castle.

Wario Estate - Inside Wario jumps back into the room.

Wahahah! They never stood a chance!
I say you shoulda let me in on a piece of the action!
First come first serve, Waluigi! Now, then...

He turns to Toadsworth.

Old fart, you wanna save your little princess, right? If people have shown up here it's likely they've already begun on their invasion. Come on.
As you insist, ...Master Wario.
What about me!?
...Waluigi. If someone else comes to steal our treasure, who'll be there to stop them? Me? Can't. Busy. This little guy? Like he'll be any threat.

Before turning off to make way with Toadsworth, he speaks one last thing to Waluigi.

Waluigi... I'm counting on you.

Wario runs off, carrying Toadsworth in one arm.

Wario Estate - Inside
Aright, turtleheads! You have two options! 1, go home crying to daddy dragon breath and tell him I sent ya, or 2, volunteer as my personal warmup exercise!

...

The Koopa Troop merely look at him and immediately prepare for battle. Wario grins.

...I had hoped so.

The Koop each jump forward and dash at Wario, each with a strange rocket propelling it. Wario winds up his right fist...

---

Wario Estate - Outside
An enormous gust of wind knocks each of them out of the inside of the Estate, the main cause being the sheer force carried by Wario's backhanded punch. He leaps off the Estate in pursuit.

You know, in the world I come from, everyone's got somethin' fancy of their own. That stupid red and blue attention-seeking pipsqueak, his coward green stache brother with his stupid vacuum, --Even a dumb-as-nuts gorilla has done so much as to punch the moon out of orbit.

As Wario lands, he is greeted with an onslaught of missiles and bullets, to which have no effect as he Shoulder Bashes through them, knocking them down yet again like bowling pins. He stops.

I guess that's why I was so eager to accept Wario-Man, ya know? It was something I could fall back on. But I guess in the end, having that power at my disposal made me forget what I am. Like I'm one of those other fools.

Wario punches the ground, creating a miniature earthquake that stuns each of them. He pulls out an array of specialized Bob-Ombs.

Here's a newsflash, though! I don't care about some stupid hierarchy made to trivialize others! I don't care if you're the chosen-one of your creator, I don't care if you're good, evil, or anything in between! And I don't care if you've received training from a so-called god!

He tosses them.

As long as you're crossin' Wario, no one gets any special treatment!

Wario then unleashes a Wario Waft into the air to accompany the Bombs, destroying all the Koopa Troopas.

---

Expect a double post out of space

---

Earthshake Punch (Earth/Impact)- The user slams the ground with their fist, creating a shockwave that stuns their enemies. Stun cannot be bypassed by any means.

Toadsworth begins to sweat at the sight of the Koopa Troops.

Ah! Erm... Mr. Wario, Mr. Waluigi... T-these wouldn't h-happen to be a couple of... friends you invited for a cup of tea, w-would they?
Hohohoh, no. Don't go pawning this off on me, shortie. You heard our new guests. They came for you.
Yeah... And they seem like such nice guys, too. It would be a cruel thing of us to do to turn them down... For free.
But wait! If they've come for you... Imagine what they're currently doing to your precious Mushroom Kingdom. How they'll tear everything down, and seize your ruler.
*gulp*

A few of them approach the three.
Bring us the Toadsworth in your possession. Refusal to comply will declare you as an enemy of King Bowser Koopa.
...
...
...
......ONTHEBEHALFOFTHEMUSHRROMKINGOMIHEREBYPARDONALLCRIMESTHATHAVECOMEFROMYOU, WARIO AND WALUIGI!

Wario steps in front of Toadsworth, cracking his knuckles. Waluigi does a menacing dance pose.

Wahahah! Just what I needed!

the doctor and his robot boy son (left is mine, right is capcom's)



"What!? We've been turned into JJBA characters!? This must be the work of an enemy stand!!"

Wario Estate - Lounge
Ugh. Wario? I think someone's knocking on our door.
Alright, I'll get it. But prepare the Bob-Ombs just in case if it's the IRS.

Wario opens the door to find a dwarf-sized individual staring back at him.

...Hmm. How time flies. It seems your welfare has been treating you well.
Toadsworth
Overseer of the Mushroom Kingdom
Ugh. Great. Another one of you puny Toads sticking your proverbial nose into our business. Just whaddya want from us?
Very little, Mr. Wario. I merely wish for us to negotiate.
HA! Negotiate? Good one, you old coot, but I don't have time for shriveled up pipsqueaks like you. So why don't you go take your cane and mosey on off of our pro--

Before Wario can finish, Toadsworth pulls out a roll of paper. He opens it in Wario's face as it unravels yards onto the floor.

...What is this supposed to be?
This is your fee. Several dozens of counts of unarmed and armed robbery, fraud, bad checks, and the like. From Mushroom Kingdom and other neighboring civilizations alike. This, My good man Wario, is what I refer to when I speak of negotiation.

Wario, in agitation, rolls up his sleeves.

Grrrrrgh! How dare you come into my estate and bring in that kind of accusation! Why, I oughta--
Careful now, Mr. Wario. You wouldn't want battery added to the list of crimes, would you?
....*grumpy mumbling*

---

Explain, old fart.
You see, while there have been times where you have been a great service, More often than not your actions have been... questionable to say the very least, thus our reason for charging you, and by proxy, Waluigi.
Hey!
I'm findin' it reaaal shady that of all times you guys choose now to do this!
We only took a page out of your book and imitated your... opportunistic side.
Wahahaha!
You're stuck in the same rut as me!
What with the possible debt we are in, I need something to find solace in.
If you two are finished bickering, we don't have time to waste. Now, here are the options for your payment plans--

Immediately a Koopa Troop (Troop as in without the a) bursts into the wall.

Target acquired. Subject "Toadsworth". Identified as Caretaker of Princess Peach Toadstool. Initiating capture routine.

Done waiting for people to post so I can progress this subplot

SNK Multiversal Rift
*while writing* So, what's stopping us from going to the Hakkesshu and stopping them directly right now?
We're outnumbered, Shingo. There's 4 of us and 6 of them. That's not even mentioning how stupid powerful that prick Goenitz is.
...Oh.
...Then why can't we just stop Yuga from making any more Orochi clones?

A small silence accompanies the three. They then hear the mysterious man.

EEP!

Well, I was going to go through a montage of me trying to enable you into turning evil, but I have lost all motivation for such. You can keep your goody-two shoes demeanor.
This leaves the itinerary with 2 things left. One, relocate so no one for whatever unspecified reason will intrude on my grounds, and two, kill the guy who's bright idea was to send those soldiers to kill me.
--a
It's a bad guy. Not that it matters, they could be the pope of the Whateverse and they'd still incur my wrath all the same.

---

Kyo, Shingo, and Kusanagi go through the mirror.

Any other MKII would make some lame excuse but screw it. Because a certain someone of demolition with reddish hue thought we weren't edgy enough. Cough cough.
Cupcake?

Proteus apathetically slaps the tray of cupcakes out of Defteros's hands.

My rage-o-meter has come full circle. I'm not even going to bother yelling at you this time. Just picture I said something about offering pastries to intruders.
Honestly most of us just end up killing Wily when we feel like doing our own thing. Oh yeah, MKII vs. Everyone 2 is supposed to happen.
Is that the one where I show up?
No, that's MKII vs. Everyone 3.

Abandoned Factory
...Well. If nobody has any objections... It looks like we're going to have to pay a little visit to South Town.

---

Property Shieldom
...Defteros. While as a calorie junkie I am delighted by and grateful for your skills in this area...
...BAKING THE ENEMY A CAKE IS NO WAY TO SPREAD EVIL!!
If being evil means doing terrible things to people, then I don't want to.
Look. I'm not gonna spin some stupid-ass narrative to enable into doing what I want, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. You wanna know why MKII are such terrible people? It's what we're made for. To be the end of all hope to come. To be the absence of good.
It's what makes us the Wily Omega-- And because I know people out there love twistin' shit into their own little meanings, Wily has nothing to do with what we do. It's literally just a cooler way of stating our designation. Yeah, I'm talking to you. You are wrong when you use that.
Me?
No, not you. L-look. The point is that there's no sneaky moral high ground to it, there's no grandiose suffering that caused this, none of that fancy-schmancy stuff. It's just. The way. We are.
So stop being such a baby, get that fancy sabre of yours out, and Be a bad guy!

Proteus' words only receive a profuse horizontal head-shaking from Defteros. This enrages Proteus.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH--

Goenitz easily snaps his fingers. A cutting aura slices the fake Orochi Iori up. Goenitz then sends the sliced pieces of the Orochi Iori to space with a blowing wind.

Abandoned Factory
Geese? Ugh, of course he'll head to South Town to meet that no-good troublemaker. Trash like him are always up to no good.
This "Zorak" guy, though... Not ringing any bells with me.
Me neither.

Kyokugen Dojo
A dark aura seems to fill the room, as Ryu feels an large pressure.

(This power... such pressure, yet so menacing... could it be that he has manifested the Dark Hado? No... This is different. Although deadly, I sense no desire to maim from him. And yet...)
Ryu, was it? You have done well to discipline your martial arts skills. Though the worst is yet to come. Now...
Prepare to taste the power of Kyokugen Karate at it's fullest!
