More recognition for me!

Well, first of all, we need to know where we're actually GOING first. And unfortunately, the last 3 cities- which were at UNBELIEVABLY long distances away from each other- knew nothing. But we're approaching another city, so hopefully we'll have a better chance there.
...Wait, how long were you following us?

Suddenly, Beta Team come across a strange city, with many strange people...

What is this place...?
*Over next to a tourists' booth of sorts* According to this pamphlet, this place is known as "Crossroads City". Apparently, this place creates a ton of dimensional anomalies that connects to various different worlds, and many people from outside this universe- Even those outside this Omniverse- decided to turn this strange, dimension-shifting area into a sort of hub for people to relax and meet others like them before heading back to their home universes.
Though, some HAVE been unfortunate enough to become stuck here, and some willingly stayed.
...So in short, this is a place where people from across many Omniverses meet to interact with each other and relax?
Pretty much.
Perhaps we should look around, see if there's anyone who knows where to find the Star Scepter.

Beta Team then decides to look around Crossroads City, hoping they'd be able to find someone who knows a way to the Star Scepter.

Ha ha, that's... Wait.

Turbo Yellow is caught off guard! ATK is lowered!
Beetle Borg deals 20 Damage to Turbo Pink! Turbo Pink is rekt!

So, Pink is down... So what! I can handle you all my own!

Turbo Yellow transforms into a car and tries to run over Drill Mole!

And so it seems that whilst Collateral Aeon is fighting the Turbo Rangers, the Evil Energy team is trying to commit mass chaos while Aeon is trying to obliterate some Blade Man-looking guy! And I don't exactly know what everyone else is up to, but it also seems equally chaotic. What is Beta Team doing during a situation like this? What chaos are they currently in the middle of?

No, we WON'T be stopping for food.
Oh, come on, I'm incredibly hungry!
Well the rest of us aren't, and we're certainly not just going to a restaurant to feed one person out of who KNOWS how many of us there are at this point.
Well why can't you just let me go by myself?
Because we can't TRUST you to go there by yourself!
You never let me go ANYWHERE by myself!
WELL MAYBE THINK OF THAT NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE OMNIVERSE!

...Hm.

Collateral Aeon deals 33 Damage
Beetle Borg deals 21 Damage
Drill Mole deals 31 Damage

Ugh, I think I'm done for...
Pull yourself together, man!

Turbo Pink and Turbo Yellow does another combined attack, this time aiming for Beetle Borg and Drill Mole!

Well, it's not like it was MY choice of color! Besides, a guy being pink doesn't make them any less of a man!

Turbo Pink was offended! DEF lowered! ATK raised!
Drill Mole deals 27 Damage to Turbo Pink!

GO TURBO RANGERS!

Turbo Pink targets Beetle Borg and uses Gem Wheel, which travels to the middle of the screen before splitting into 3 separate projectiles!

Ha! You're still outnumbered, 3-to-7! We're gonna make roadkill outta-
Uh, boss? There's some kind of field of coding that's keeping more than 3 people on our side from entering.

UH, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE THE BATTLE SYSTEM. I FINALLY MANAGED TO FIX IT WITH DUCT TAPE AND GLUE. SURE, IT MAY SOUND UNPROFESSIONAL, BUT IT SHOULD BE FINE AS LONG AS NOBODY GOES TOO ROUGH ON IT. SO YEAH, IF YOU WANNA FIGHT, YOU'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE SYSTEM.

...Well, THIS is a fine how-do-you-do. Alright, we'll just switch out as soon as one of us is do-

NO! NONE OF THAT! I LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL WITH THE SYSTEM! IF YOU DO RAPID SWITCHING LIKE THAT, YOU'LL BREAK IT FOR SURE!

Come on, it's not like we're going to LOSE or anything. I bet they won't even beat one of us!

SILENCE! DO AS I SAY OR BE PUNISHED! NOW, YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT FOLLOWING THE RULES AND GUIDELINES OF THIS BATTLE SYSTEM WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ABUSE OF PROGRAMMING. IF I SEE A SINGLE CRACK IN THE BATTLE SYSTEM, ALL OF YOU WILL BE ANSWERING TO ME!

Oh, fine! (Sheesh, picky voice... Where is it even coming from?) Alright! Turbo Pink and Turbo Yellow, you're up first!

Auto-Scanner activa-

AN AUTO-SCANNER!? SERIOUSLY!? ...UGH, FINE, BUT IF THIS BREAKS THE FRAGILE SYSTEM, I'M TURNING IT OFF.

...Auto-Scanner activates!

Turbo Pink
Core: Swift and Crystal | Health: 188 | ATK: 244 | DEF: 126 | SPD: 242
The lowest rank of the Turbo Rangers. Uses a version of Scorch Wheel that uses crystals instead of flames, known as the Gem Wheel.

Turbo Yellow
Core: Swift and Electric | Health: 188 | ATK: 244 | DEF: 126 | SPD: 242
The 2nd lowest rank of the Turbo Rangers. Uses a version of Scorch Wheel that uses electrical sparks instead of flames, known as the Spark Wheel.

@Specs : Actually, it's a CLONE of your character. Kinda like a... Dark Dark Enka.

I mean, didn't you try to use a clone of K. Rool against the actual K. Rool before?

---

Stop right there, trespasser!

Suddenly, 7 differently colored Turbo Men comes out of nowhere in front of Collateral Aeon!

So, you think you could waltz right into our hideout without calling first? I think not!
Yeah, you tell 'em, Blue!
This territory belongs to the Turbo Rangers! Nobody without permission is allowed to enter!
Yeah! That "The Law" guy tried to trespass earlier, but we were able to overwhelm him with both our speed and our teamwork!
(Wait, wasn't he just killed off by that "Skull Reaper" guy?)
(Be quiet, Yellow! He doesn't need to know about that!)
We're going to give you two options. One, you can just leave quietly. Or two, you can stay here and get ran over by our top-notch speed and cooperation!

Well, if anyone's willing to go through that, they're able to. But we of Beta Team can't exactly be in 2 or more places at once.
You know... For cautionary reasons.
Oh, come on, I haven't even ONCE tried to escape from this, what did I do to deserve THIS much security?
You know what you did.
Oh, sure. You try to destroy the Omniverse, everyone's making sure you don't do something as small as stealing a single blade of grass from a public park, but when you give the guy trying to do that the TRIGGER TO THE GUN that would do such a thing, you get to sneak off while nobody was looking!
What are you talking about, Skull Reaper is right the-

Suddenly, it is revealed that Skull Reaper did indeed sneak away from everyone, more specifically when The Magnet and the Crusher appeared.

....

---

Meanwhile, back in Timesplit 7...

Finally... This should keep me away from everyone long enough to locate all the robots in MMRPG-SNAITF...
Now, let's see if what I was sensing was correct...

Skull Reaper proceeds to open up a hidden compartment in K. Rool's base, revealing a boatload of Evil Energy!

A lot of Evil Energy? What could you possibly want with this?
Oh right. Forgot you all were conscious up in there...
...Wait, we were having our final battle against K. Rool earlier, what in the were you even doing?
Playing Go Fish. For some reason, there's this Italian plumber up here who's been beating us, but something tells me he's some kind of big cheater.
...So yeah, your plan?
Right, right. I am going to absorb this Evil Energy to add onto my power. And THEN I'm going to use the surprisingly good technology K. Rool has around his base to build myself an Energy Signature Locator to keep constant track of ALL robots from the Universe-Not-Appearing-In-This-Roleplay.
Then, as soon as all that power is in my hands... I will strive to become the most powerful being in the Omniverse!

Skull Reaper proceeds to absorb all the Evil Energy...

Skull Reaper's Status

(Hm, very low on Speed... I might want to invest on some Swift-Core souls...)

@Enka : Either Super Bass is with GRAND NOVA- which is NOT where Beta Team is- or he is with Beta Team.

---

We're NOT slacking. We're just trying not to multi-task, AND we need all of Beta Team here to make sure K. Rool doesn't go anywhere. You want to deal with this "Evil Energy conquest" by yourself? Fine. But we of Beta Team need to get rid of the Wish Core by wishing it away with the Star Scepter, otherwise things are always just going to get worse and worse.

@GammaGhost : Actually, GRAND NOVA is closed up and unable to be entered at the moment.

Meanwhile with Beta Team...

So, did anyone else hear something about Evil Energy and the destruction of all Omniverses?
Eh, just call Letter L, I'm sure they'll be able to handle it.
Besides, there's an infinite amount of Omniverses, including one Omniverse that nobody from outer Omniverses can enter, no matter what.
What Omniverse are you talking about, exactly?
I can't exactly talk about it because... Well, you know...

Beta Shadow points his attention to Beta Man and his friends, who 100% lacks any awareness of the 4th Wall.

Oh. Right.

Yeah, no idea what you guys are talking about, but at this point I've come to accept the fact that you guys talk about confusing subjects that will forever be outside my grasp.
But man, I gotta say, that new transformation of mine was amazing! With that kind of power, we could DEFINITELY win against Yveltal as soon as we get back to our universe!
*Deep inhale* Uh, yeah, returning to your universe might not be as possible as you think it is, Beta.
...What did you do, Ghost?
Ok, just because I'm evil, doesn't mean I'm always the cause of everything that happens to you!
Honestly, you should be THANKING me for getting you out of there before what happened to our universe happened.
I'm... Confused, what actually HAPPENED to our Universe?
Let me explain. You remember how Full Release Devil talked about "expired universes"?

And thus, while Delta Paradox is trying to contact Letter L about the situation, Bt Ghost begins to describe to Beta the situation of their home universe...

@Enka : Dimension 6

But arguably Evil Energy Duo is there too spying on Beta Shadow while the rest of the Evil Energy team is elsewhere, meaning that if Beta Team was so inclined they could find Evil Energy Duo from the sound of his voice and find out what they're up to.

But since their main concern is the Wish Core they would also just end up warning Letter L and having them deal with it instead.

---

Suddenly, the 1-Up repairs EVERYTHING GRAND NOVA lost... Except for a core. You know, the one thing that actually ALLOWS GRAND NOVA to live? Yeah, apparently both the High Quality Core and the Wish Core cannot just be brought back from a simple 1-up. You'll have to find something to REPLACE the Core.

And then you'll need a way to get IN to GRAND NOVA.

...Huh. I wonder what plot point allows THAT to happen...

@RotomSlashBlast : You could have it that the Aeons also were warped to Universe 1, and then just decided to follow Beta Team.

Beta Team, Beta Shadow's Characters, and K. Rool are warped, but instead of where the others are at, they are back in Universe 1!

The Wish Core... It's gone! And my Blast-o-Matic is destroyed, too!

K. Rool turns to Beta Team in anger.

You... This is all YOUR fault!
Well if it wasn't in YOUR hands, whatever's going on here wouldn't happen at all!
Yeah, it's YOUR fault more than anyone else's.
Well now we need to find out who has the Wish Core THIS time and get it back!
Yeah! They took my wish to have ALL the souls of MMRPG-SNAITF!
Yeah, that's- ...Wait, what?
Yeah, that Wish Core is being wasted on whoever has it when it COULD'VE been used by ME to get rid of those pesky heroes!
Uh, yes hello, we're RIGHT HERE.
And that's just the problem, now isn't it?
No, the PROBLEM is that you were going to use it on something PETTY, whilst I was going to use it to get rid of Rotom and Giratina and FINALLY cover the Pokemon World in darkness!
Oh, so when it's my goals it's petty, but when it's yours it's fine!?
I think you're ALL forgetting who had the Wish Core first!
Actually, if I remember what Ghost told us correctly, wasn't the one who had the Wish Core first GRAND NOV-
CAN IT, SERGEANT!

Everyone begins arguing over the Wish Core. Eventually...

COULD EVERYONE PLEASE JUST PUT A SOCK IN IT!?
Clearly, as long as that Wish Core exists, EVERYONE'S going to want to put their hands on it. And because of that, we have to get rid of it.
What!? But if we destroy the Wish Core, then reality will crumble away!
That's why we do the next best thing... We WISH it away.
Wait. Are you suggesting that we find whoever has the Wish Core, take it for ourselves... And use a wish on the Wish Core to get rid of the Wish Core in itself?
Not particularly... While I was training, I heard something about a Star Scepter. Created by a race of wizards long ago, the Star Scepter will grant the wishes of whoever it deems as The Chosen One™. If we find the Star Scepter, we could use its inner energy to create a locator to find out who The Chosen One™ is and have the Star Scepter wish away the Wish Core!
...I also heard something about it being "totally not the Star Rod from Kirby but as a Scepter", but at this point things like that are a given.
That's great and all, but where do we even look for it?
Ooh! Perhaps it is in Dimension 6!
Well, then, what are we waiting for? Let's go find that Star Scepter!
Wait, what about K. Rool? ...And everyone else here who apparently wants the Wish Core for their nefarious schemes?
Don't worry! Beta Shadow gave us all the ability to harm K. Rool!
So if any one of them even THINKS about skedaddling, then we'll all blow them to Kingdom Come. Got it?

The various antagonists all gulps and nods. They all then proceed to warp over to Dimension 6.

Wh-what are you doing!? Stop this! No... NOOO-

Suddenly, the Anti-Omni Meme becomes purified by Ultra Instinct's energy, becoming the Omega Meme!



*Clapping* Well, congratulations. You have beaten Full Release Devil, achieved Mastered Ultra Instinct's FULL power, and purified the Anti-Omni Meme. Do you know what this changes? Nothing.
Wrong, actually. This actually changes a LOT. But what it ESPECIALLY changes is the fact that you're invincible. Which, now you're not. Because not only can I harm you...

Beta Shadow suddenly snaps his fingers, a blue glow surrounding all allies, allowing everyone to be able to harm K. Rool's Berserker Instinct!

Oh, you are ed now!
GET HIM!

Unfortunately, the Shaggy Blade- apparently sentient- responded as soon as Letter L tried to fuse with it!

You are, like, not worthy to wield me, man! Only those who have been blessed with my groovy power can use this sword. But, like, don't worry, I think something's gonna happen soon!

---

The Aeons' attacks ultimately did nothing. However, K. Rool IS blinded, but...

Ha ha! It's not called Instincts for nothing!

Somehow, without being able to see, K. Rool knocks down all the Aeons and Trimarc with a single punch each!

---

The Skull Reaper tries to jump in, then realizes what Yoshi is up to and warps in front of him, scythe close to his throat.

YOU STUPID F**KING IDIOT! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE ENTIRE OMNIVERSE IS IN DANGER RIGHT NOW!? NOW IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR YOUR STUPID F**KING REVOLT! IT'S THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME! AND BESIDES, WHO IN THIS UNIVERSE IS MISTREATING ROBOTS. MOST OF EVERYONE TRYING TO SAVE THIS OMNIVERSE IS A ROBOT, FOR F**K SAKE! DOES THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH ROBOT OPPRESSION!? AND IF THAT DOESN'T CONVINCE YOU, THEN TOO F**KING BAD, BECAUSE YOUR ATTEMPT AT DESTROYING HUMANITY WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A TIME WHEN LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE IS NOT IN F**KING DANGER!

---

So SOMEONE passed Pep Talk class after all. But it doesn't even matter... Now comes the time for everything to end!

You're wrong... It's FAR from over.

Suddenly, a blue glow envelops over Beta Man, a power surging through him... And at that very moment, All-Star Beta Man has been born!

...It has just begun.
So, the purple Mega Man turns blue... So what? You STILL don't have a chance against me!
You won't be talking so big soon enough.

Beta Man releases a powerful surge of Beta Blast energy, knocking back Full Release Devil!

HA! Lucky shot, but you STILL can't beat me!
That wasn't to beat you... That was to DISTRACT you.
Huh? What are you-

Suddenly, a blue glow envelops around Full Release Devil!

NANI!? Th-this is... But that's impossible...! N-no! I can't... I won't...!

Suddenly, Full Release Devil reverts back to Full Release Shadow, now with a full-on blue glow! Full Release Devil's personality shifts into the Anti-Omni Meme!

But... That's... Impossible... There's no possible way you could have COMPLETELY mastered Ultra Instinct like this!
That's what you might've thought... But I've been thinking about all of what has been said... Even what K. Rool said. And you know what? He's right, despite everything.
Power isn't about what you DESERVE. ...But he's still wrong about one thing: It's not about how much you WANT the power, either. It's the REASON you want the power.
And I want this power for one reason and one reason only... To keep monsters like YOU from tearing everything apart. And it's not just for morality's sake, either...
It's because these universes are what we Reapers created. We may scrap them and throw them away sometimes... But we don't just FORGET about them, we LEARN from them.
Even YOU taught me a lesson... We all have a good side and a bad side, no matter what. What matters in the end is which side we choose to follow... It's not just all grey.
In FACT, if you don't mind...

Suddenly, a blue glow wraps itself around the Anti-Omni Meme!

...I think I prefer blue.

**Continued in Next Post! And this time, STAY PATIENT WITH ME.**

Unfortunately, the PK Egg did nothing. In fact, it seemed to... EMPOWER the Anti-Omni Meme?

Some of fauster's power comes from Egg energy... What makes you think the Anti-Omni Meme can't do the exact same?
By the way, DS, GREAT words of encouragement. You just went on ahead and WEAKENED Beta's will to fight by telling him he's UNABLE to control me! Props to you for FAILING Pep Talk 101.

The Anti-Omni Meme was also unaffected by Purify, but Full Release Devil WAS hit with the PK Fire and PK Bomb... But the PK Fire was resisted due to it's fire-based properties. Also, all attacks against K. Rool did basically nothing.

Now then... IT'S TIME TO FINISH YOU ALL OFF!

Full Release Devil suddenly gathers the darkness that was developed from all negative emotions within everyone's hearts, preparing to use the attack upon everyone in the room to wipe them all out in a single blow to their heart/core/whatever everyone uses in place of a beating heart! However, he is suddenly hit with an explosive ball of shadow-based energy... And that could come from only one person...

Well, now, Beta Man... I didn't know Beta Shadow created you to be such a blind fool... Do you even know what you're up against? You are facing someone who is FAR beyond your power and skill!
It wouldn't be the first time. ...Beta Shadow, if you can hear me in there... Remember that you are stronger than this! You can fight back against this thing!
No he can't, and neither can you! Why can't any of you learn when to quit!? You're far overpowered, Beta Man... You should've just stayed in the universe you were in!

Full Release Devil forms spears of darkness, which he proceeds to throw at Beta Man, who manages to dodge them all.

I will NEVER give up! WE will never give up! Because that's what it means to be a hero... To stand against ALL evil, and never back down! I know this in my heart... And so do you, Shadow! So don't let yourself be consumed by this darkness!
He was consumed by his OWN darkness long ago... And his mistakes- terrible roleplays, awful webcomics, AN MMRPG UNDERTALE AU- They still haunt him to this very day, and they will never leave... YOU are the one true evidence of this!

Full Release Devil summons bolts of electricity of which he tries to drop on Beta Man, but Beta Man manages to dodge them all!

That's where you're wrong... The purpose of our mistakes are not to taunt us and encourage us to stop... They are something to LEARN from, so that we can keep getting better!
Do you even know what Beta Shadow has done ASIDE from creating universes? Whenever universes are left to expire- including a universe VERY MUCH LIKE YOURS- he leaves them behind and REPLACES them. He leaves alternate versions of you to DIE.
Well would YOU eat expired foods?
Actually yes, yes I would. Thank you for asking.

The response to eating expired foods catches Beta off guard, allowing Full Release Devil to hit him with an Electric-Type Element Ball (Beta Shadow's Element Ball attack is a ball of elemental energy of which he can control its typing)! Beta Man takes more damage than he could ever handle and collapses!

Beta!
HOLY !
We've got a man down!
it, I KNEW it was a bad idea to bring him here!

Pathetic... Now where was I...?

Full Release Devil begins to recharge his attack...
