In the exact area of which the meme hole opened up (which I assume is in the same universe as Zeta Light and Collateral Aeon's location), a figure emerges!

AlRIGht, NoW IT's tIME FOR mE TO staRT my MIssIoN tO-

Jevil(?)'s dancing ends up hitting the mysterious Knight Man-looking robot!

ow! sO you wANnA go, eH?

The totally-not-obvious Knight Man-looking bot attacks the dancing Jevil with Punch of 1,000 Souls! ...It's, uh, basically 1,000 powerful punches in one blow.

Zeta Light attacks Crash Course!

Ring Ring deals 32 Damage to Nuclear Napalm! Nuclear Napalm is... Actually still alive. Perhaps the subordinates will need to be taken down first...
CRITICAL HIT! Collateral Aeon deals 85 Damage to Bomber Man!

Unfortunately, no. Ring Ring took up the Knight of Swords' spot. He is free to join the spectators, though.

The ACT options are indeed the same. It's the same for Crash Course as well.

Zeta Light attacks Crash Course!
Collateral Aeon deals 67 Damage to Nuclear Napalm!
Zeta Light deals 56 Damage to Crash Course!

CRASH, CRASH! BURN, BURN!
Yo, seriously Crash, take a chill pill.
Both of you, focus!

Nuclear Napalm launches a few Napalm Bombs at Zeta Light!
-Miss-
34 Damage to Zeta Light!
-Miss-

The Crystal Eye is blocked by what seems to be... Coding?

And then, the same voice that spoke to the Knight of Swords speaks out again...

Both party members have no available team slot. As such, you are incapable of joining the battle!

Once more, the voice has no known origin, but it seems like Letter L's team is incapable of interacting with the battle... Looks like they're forced to be spectators.

...I, uh, think we're drawing in a crowd.
We'll deal with them later. Now, focus!

Zeta Light uses Attack Shine! Team's Attack is raised!

Ring Ring deals 37 Damage to Nuclear Napalm
Collateral Aeon deals 55 Damage to Nuclear Napalm

This Fusion Star is ours!
Yeah, so SCRAM! BLE! INTO PIECES!
Honestly, Crash, that was terrible wordplay.

Bomber Man throws more bombs, this time targeting Collateral Aeon and Ring Ring!

Ring Ring deals 26 Damage to Nuclear Napalm

Destroy them all!
YES SIR!

Crash Course drops Crash Bombers all over the battlefield, aiming to blow up Collateral Aeon and Zeta Light!

-Miss-
-Miss-
-Miss-
47 Damage to Zeta Light!
-Miss-
-Insert Damage to Collateral Aeon-
-Miss-

(Since Salt is not currently participating in the battle system- nor can he join in due to neither side having an available team member slot-, no damage will be dealt to them.)

Mettaur is removed from the battle.
Ring Ring was summoned!

Well, that worked.

Zeta Light uses Defense Shine! Team's Defense is increased!

Collateral Aeon* and Zeta Light worked together to disable the explosives of the Explosive Trio!
The explosives couldn't be fully disabled, but the trio's Attack lowered for the turn!

Ready...
EXPLODE! ...Wait.
Dang it, Crash Course, you messed it up AGAIN!

Bomber Man begun throwing Hyper Bombs of which explodes in a Bomberman pattern, targeting Mettaur!

* This isn't exactly me "controlling the character", just describing the effects of Collateral Aeon's actions when he chose X-Disable. Just to clear things out a bit before anyone gets the wrong idea.

Fortunately for Winston and the Memesmith, it didn't take long to find Beta, Delta, and Alpha.

Oh! You guys are back. I guess we might not have to find the
Meme Zone™ by ourselves after all.
We would've helped out in the battle, but we kinda thought that you would be able to handle it without us.
And he did, but enough of that. There's still an Omniversal threat on the loose, so shall we?

The three boards themselves on the ship. Suddenly, an electrical- but harmless- bolt suddenly flashes down on the ship as well, Gamma Bolt appearing from it.

Ah, good timing! Beta Shadow, this is Gamma Bolt, another one of us.
Nice to meet you, Gamma.
You too, Mr. Shadow!
So, how did things go with helping Aeon?
Oh! Well, uh...
I tried to help him by making a locator for the Power Stars, but he completely ignored me! Even when I told him about our goals, he just completely ignored me!
You WHAT!?
HA, I knew it! I KNEW you were up to no good!
*Sigh* Yes, yes, we're up to something... "Less than good". But it's not Omniverse-destroying bad, so let's focus on what is
Err, right. Topmost priorities first, got it.

Speaking of Aeons... Especially those of the Collateral variety...

ACTS:

> Scan
> -Zeta Light- X-Disable

Zeta Light just guards. Not to protect himself, but because he knew he didn't have to do anything this round.
Collateral Aeon deals 50 Damage! Killer Bullet C is rekt!
Killer Bullet C explodes, dealing 10 Damage to Collateral Aeon.
YOU WON! You've earned 0 EXP and 150 Zenny! (Finally, some actual currency!)

Looks like we've underestimated them...
Well, boys, we know what to do in a situation like this.
YES, YES! CRASH AND BURN! KILL THEM ALL!

Collateral Aeon and Zeta Light are now placed in a Boss Battle with the Explosive Trio!
Battle Theme: An Explosive Battle! (Super Bomberman Boss Theme)

The Auto-Scanner activates!

Bomber Man (Bomb Man)
Core: Explode | Attack: 288 | Defense: 122 | Speed: 172
The nearby Explode Fusion Star doubled Bomber Man's base stats, leading to him and his teammates to make a home around the Fusion Star.

Crash Course (Crash Man)
Core: Explode and Flame | Attack: 278 | Defense: 134 | Speed: 198
The Explode Fusion Star that boosted his stats also boosted his insanity. And he was VERY insane before back in his own universe. So keep that in mind.

Nuclear Napalm (Napalm Man)
Core: Explode and Missile | Attack: 252 | Defense: 148 | Speed: 196
Having the capabilities of launching actual nuclear bombs, he is dubbed the leader of this rag-tag group of dangerous explosive-bearing robots.

(The Knight of Swords is free to join the battle whenever he wishes. I hope you understand the Deltarune battle system, Dream Weaver, because that's what's being referenced/used to an extent here.)

Auto-Scanner activates!

Killer Bullet
Core: Explode | Attack: v 96 v | Defense: 15 | Speed: 70
Follows orders from the Explosive Trio despite their fears of blowing up violently at any given moment.

Zeta Light attacks!
43 Damage to Killer Bullet C!

WE'RE DEAD! DEAD I TELL YOU!

The Killer Bullet aims for Mettaur.

Zeta Light uses Speed Blind! Enemy's next attack is now slowed!

Collateral Aeon deals 45 Damage! Killer Bullet A is rekt!
Killer Bullet A explodes, dealing 10 Damage to Collateral Aeon!
Mettaur deals 27 Damage to Killer Bullet C!

N-NANI!?

The remaining Killer Bullet tries to tackle Zeta Light, albeit in a sorta shaky pattern.
Zeta Light dodges.

Zeta Light uses Healing Light on Mettaur!

Collateral Aeon spares Killer Bullet B!
Killer Bullet B is Spared and removed from the battle.

Ka-BOOM!
Get 'em, boys!

The two remaining Killer Bullets targets Collateral Aeon alone with more tackling! (And before you ask, no, they don't know how to do anything else than that.)

Killer Bullet B's explosives are disabled! (Killer Bullet B can now be SPARED.)
Zeta Light uses Attack Blind! Opposing team's Attack is lowered!

BONZAI!
I'm... Free!?
Ka-BOOM!

The Killer Bullets try to tackle Collateral Aeon's team!

Zeta Light takes 20 Damage!

ACT Choices:
> Scan
> Disable
> -Zeta Light- X-Disable
> SPELLS (Switches to the "SPELLS" selection, or basically the Skills list.)

The Knight of Swords is blocked off by a seemingly invisible force field. However, looking up, the force field has the word "PLOT" written in bold, white letters.

A voice then booms out:

You must wait for the others in order to confront the Boss Battle.

The voice is incredibly loud, but doesn't seem to have any form of origin. However, it seems the barrier won't go away until Collateral Aeon and Zeta Light catches up.

Beta Shadow grabs Salt's arm before he could smash the shield.

He's on OUR side, Fights McGee. Unless, of course, you don't actually CARE that the entire Omniverse is going to be destroyed unless we focus on what ACTUALLY needs to be done.

Beta Shadow tosses Salt's arm back to Salt's side and turns to Delta Paradox and Alpha Fire.

Come on, guys. Let's go see if we can't ask for directions to the Meme Zone™ from the areas ahead of here.

Beta Shadow, Delta Paradox, and Alpha Fire moves forwards.

---

Unfortunately, the Mettal already took the last remaining spot for the battle system, so the Knight of Swords will have to fight a separate group of Killer Bullets by himself. But hey, that's more of those to be dealt with.

Zeta Light uses Attack Shine to raise the team's Attack!

Mettal deals 21 Damage to Killer Bullet A!

Get 'em, boys!
Ka-BOOM!
Ka-BOOM!

The 3 Killer Bullets try to tackle the entire team multiple times!

---

The Knight of Swords deals 65 Damage to Killer Bullet A! Killer Bullet A is rekt!

N-NANI!?
WE'RE DEAD! DEAD I TELL YOU!

The Killer Bullets try to tackle The Knight of Swords repeatedly, albeit in a slightly shaking pattern.

Hm, let's see... I've done Beta Man, Ninja Man, Sergeant Man, Epsilon, and Ninja Man Z, with Bt Ghost and Beta Man Z are assist trophies...

Alright, I think I know what my next step is.
