Then, as PIRATE fires a Galvanic Accelerator Cannon MKII at Frevil for 34 damage, they smile mischievously as they bring Beta Team’s attention to the sky...

HOLY SH-

...as the S.S.S. Abyverin Dreadnought finally crashes down on the whole team, creating a huge crater in the field!

...And it also deals hefty damage, which I will screencap and put down here:


As Lambda seems to have been knocked out by the attack, Theta, Kappa, and Pi prepare to enter their second phase.

And now, the moment I’m sure quite a few of you have been waiting for.
LOGIC ERROR: I’M FAIRLY CERTAIN NOBODY WAS WAITING FOR YOUR TRANSFORMATION.
Well, they’re getting it anyway. ...And Kappa’s, too, I suppose... however much activating his Serenity Ring counts as a “transformation”.

As Theta Mephisto releases his Final Limit to become Shadow Mephisto, Kappa Whirlpool activates his Prototype World Ring* of Serenity to become Serene Whirlpool. As for Pi...

Well, I suppose he should, too. Pi, initiate Serious Mode.
COMPLYING.

Suddenly, Pi Android’s Serious Mode activates! Though, unlike most of the other transformations- and, heck, even Iota’s giant monster creature undergoes this treatment- this form does not seem to have a name change for Pi in mind.

SERIOUS MODE ENGAGED.
...You know, I’d actually like to take back what I said about Kappa’s transformation; At least HE got a name change and a different secondary typing. Pi’s transformation is just... what, his eye becomes red and he glows?
Look, Pi was originally created to uphold the plot; He never NEEDED some flashy transformation, and frankly he still doesn’t.
It’s fine, bro; Let’s continue on with the-

Suddenly, Lambda rises into the air as his power skyrockets. An aura surrounds him, said aura forming wings and (though it cannot be seen on the mug because it is frontward-facing)... a beak?

Lambda Sage, the Two-Winged Beast, has awoken!

...

Something about the form visibly irritates Yat, which Dche notices.

Hey there, little buddy! Something wrong?

Yat just stares angrily at Lambda, not even paying attention to the clown.

...Owls...

Back to the fight, Ultimate Zeta blasts Admiral Brickell with a Light Buster for 21 damage, then proceeds to-

What the-!?

Suddenly, Onkolithos flies into battle! ...Again.

Onko, this is dangerous! Who even let you back here again!?

Reggae and the others turn towards Nitron P.

I had him return to the fight because adorable animals rack up view- I MEAN UH it’s good for a Pokemon like him to gain fighting experience where and when he can?
He got exactly NONE of that the LAST time he was out here fighting!
...Wait a minute. Who are you again, exactly?
Erm... I am Nitron P, Gemini Entertainment’s top-rated salesman!
...
...You don’t say.

Fradow glances over to Shaphisto, who nods. He looks back at Nitron P.

That is rather... interesting information. Be sure your boss knows we’ll be sending someone to visit him soon.

Nitron P gulps as everyone else in the spectators gives him a weird look.

@QuintAnother :

...Ok listen here you-

---

Worker starts off with a Fake Shot that deals 1 damage to Frevil and applies a taunt to himself.

...Oh. Oh buddy. Pal. Friend. Amigo.

Frevil points out the sheer amount of Raid Bosses in the area.

You just made a big mistake.

Golden Digamma strikes Worker with a Thunder Punch to deal 155 damage, then follows up with a Lightning Blast for 306 damage, the electrical flash also Blinding Anemone, Morph Man, Burning Pirate, Hellion Lady, and AO Remnant No.

This is followed by Rho Error striking Worker with Deletion Blade for 679 damage, then a Data Flare for 339.

Ya know, doc, that’s an interesting new move ya got there. I thought about stealin’ it for myself, but THEN I figured...

Suddenly, a Shadow Mirror appears and duplicates Worker, creating Shadow Working. Full Release Jewel then blasts Worker with an Element Ball for 419 damage, disabling him.

Full Release Angel then blasts Paradox Man, Morph Man, and Alicia with Holy Tri-Sphere for 335, 285, and 320 damage, respectively. He then blasts Morph with Holy Order for 855 damage.

Following this, Sigma Virus strikes Paradox Man with a Toxic Jet for 305 damage and inflicts him with Toxin as Full Release Shadow blasts Admiral Brickell with a Shadow Buster for 144 damage before charging another Kamemehameha.

Afterwards, Overclocked Delta fires his Time Buster at Admiral Brickell for 60 damage before using Time Slow on Matomi for 101 damage as Koppa Muscle prepares a Super Arm block.

Theta Mephisto then strikes Paradox Man with a Mega Slide, landing a critical hit for 487 damage before Kappa Whirlpool then unleashes a Hyper Storm, dealing 51 damage to Duo, 39 to Anemone, 73 to PIRATE, 79 to Vegeta, 37 to Magnet Bomber, 47 to Rickets, 77 to Burning Pirate, 51 to Morph Man, 58 to Alicia, 91 to Paradox Man, 66 to Hellion Lady, 86 damage to Matomi, 128 damage to the recently-arrived Crossbow Master, 119 damage to AO Remnant No, and 34 to Brickell.

Yat Animus then does an Animalistic Gnaw on Brickell, landing 10 hits for 53 damage as Demon Fire strikes Duo with an Atomic Crasher for 652 damage before going into space to prepare a Sun Throw. Lambda Wind then blasts Admiral Brickell with a Wind Buster for 57 damage.

Celestial Cosmic then rapidly strikes Brickell with Nebula Kick for 193 damage before firing a Lunar Ray at Crossbow Master for 93 damage. Lively Snow then uses Ice Breath on Matomi for 29 damage before following up with a Frosthook for 54 damage.

Dche Juggler then commits to a Pie Throw at Admiral Brickell for 51 damage, Blinding her. Duo then strikes Frevil with a Gravity Hold SP for 28 damage while also taking 8 damage from Bleed. The two Galaxy Bomb SPs that also persist deals 21 damage to Frewel and 93 damage to Pi Android.

@Nims2DR : Unless you have the Team Baton (which I know for a fact that you don't), you're going to have to choose which one of those two you want out of the field.

Also, Alicia is not the raid boss.

What!? No way! I told you already, I am NOT a fighter, I’m a narrator!
...Ok, was a narrator. Besides, I’m not stepping in the field with Rho the way he is! Who knows when he decides he wants to aim that blade of his at me!
You’re lucky he’s the only one.
Oh, come on, you’re not even a real Beta Shadow character; You’re just a HighTower character he’s allowing us to use for the raid! What are you mad at me for!?
Because screw you. Now go.

Phi shoves Upsilon onto the field before grouping with Theta, Gamma, and Sigma.

Looks like the gang’s all here... You’d all better be careful around us, because Theta Team likes to play ROUGH!

Upsilon Narrator and Phi Doppelganger join the battle!

***Since Dord’s new design has not yet been given a mugshot, I had to use the older design.

---

...Ya know, ya say the whole gang’s here... But I can’t shake the feelin’ that there’s someone missing.
You sure? I can’t really think of anyone else who could possibly be here.
I dunno, I feel like there’s another HighTower character that’s also a part of the crew. Someone who isn’t a version of Beta Shadow, but is still an ally of sorts...
...You know, now that you mention it, something- or someone- does come to mind...
...They had something to do with the Moon, I think?

Meanwhile, Rho Error looks over at Anemone while charging a Virus Buster.

YOU.

Rho then strikes Anemone with a Deletion Blade for 66 damage! Meanwhile, Ultimate Zeta fires 3 shots from his Void Pistol at Morph Man for 130 damage before charging his Light Buster. He takes 8 damage from his Bleed effect, which is also placed on Duo as Iota Titan strikes with Root Spikes, landing 6 hits for 280 damage!

Rickets then charges a Spin Strike as Burning Pirate fires 8 Mine Rackers at Sigma, dealing 501 damage and increasing his multiplier to x9. However, only 7 of this had hit, with the 8th becoming a Remote Mine to be used later...

Morph Man follows up with an Explode Buster on Lambda Wind for 30 damage as Kappa Whirlpool hits Paradox Man with another Tranquil Waves for 5 damage. Sigma Virus then counteracts Burning Pirate with a Toxic Shuriken, landing 3 hits for 65 damage and inflicting Poison.

Afterwards, Alicia strikes Pi Android with an Anger Manic Attack for 21 damage while Lambda Wind charges a Wind Buster as Hellion Lady places a Vile Rebirth on Anemone. Matomi then strikes Iota Titan with a Critical Charged Blaze Splitter for 201 damage.

Meanwhile, Koppa Muscle, still face-to-face with Dord, proceeds to grab him, leap high into the air,

...continues to go high into the air...

...Wait, is he gonna-

Holy SQUAWK!, from THAT high!? He’s gonna do it, he’s going for a-

***

As the Bonebreaking Piledriver crashes down, Dord takes 143 damage and is disabled on the spot.

Meanwhile, as Frewel takes 7 damage from the second Galaxy Bomb SP around him, the originator of said second bomb takes 90 more damage... But then, after the damage has been dealt, a rift appears within the dimension. Ghost of Stache is dragged into this rift...

...And is spat directly out of the Shadow Realm and back onto the field. (Whether or not he will take back his place in the fight or remain benched is for Wraith to decide.)

Anti-Omni Remnant No attempts to Scavenge for items, but has no luck. During this, Dche Juggler’s Clown Buster switches to Empty core and is fired at Alicia for 43 damage as Xi Warrior slashes Burnrate with his Blade of Honor for 22 damage.

...OPTIMAL TARGET FOR WEAPON “Piston Knuckle” DETECTED.

Pi Android then strikes Admiral Brickell with a Piston Knuckle, dealing 59 damage and sinking down her ship.

...That De-Tau guy is next to arrive, right? So, let me guess what happens next: Suddenly, a porta-

Suddenly, not a portal opening, but an EXPLOSION occurs, blowing everyone back slightly, yet somehow not harming anyone.

A portal? Nah. Portals are too BORING!

Appearing from the center of the explosion is its source...

...EXPLOSIONS are how you introduce yourself in STYLE!

De-Tau Nation has entered the fray!

Meanwhile, Phi turns to Upsilon.

It is also our turn to enter.

Beta Team and the other look at Rho in confusion and concern.

What’s going on with him...!?
...It’s his original personality... the one that I reset him from.** It must’ve clung on as some kind of virus... Perhaps the same kind of virus he made for that “End Roleplay Protocol” that kept it from being removed without his say so.
Lovely. How do we go about stopping him?
...Well, theoretically, using the Reset Disk again while he’s in this state could potentially rid of that personality for good, but apparently I lost the disk when I sent him to Timeline 3.
...And maybe if SOME people didn’t fire me, I’d be able to go into my work area to create a NEW one.
Oh, THAT’S rich. Maybe YOU should’ve thought of that before you-
Hey, I’m still upset over it, too, but now’s not the time for the blame game.
Well, if we can’t reset him again, then what can we do?
Oh, oh, I know! Let’s try turning him off and back on again!

Rho, upon hearing Epsilon, looks over to him aggressively.

...Yeah, something tells me that’s not going to work.
...I think the most we can do... Is to make sure he doesn’t do anything fatal.

Suddenly, Frewel notices a rise in power as Frevil uses the damage he took from Anemone’s blast to build up energy.

...Ehh, something tells me that he's not the only one to keep an eye on, doc.

Meanwhile, Celestial Cosmic fires a Galaxy Bomb at Worker, dealing 200 damage before he drops an Astro Crush on everyone, dealing 41 more damage to Worker, 89 to Anemone, 68 to P. Man, 165 to PIRATE, 38 to Brickell, 115 to Morph, 115 to Duo, 346 to Dord, 115 to Burnrate, 192 to Matomi, 165 to Magnet Bomber, 177 to Vegeta, 106 to Rickets, 148 to Hellion, and 268 to AO Remnant No.

Then, as PIRATE does a Quick Reload (with something from beyond the skies of the Earth being near ready to fire), everyone watches in horror as Vegeta tosses Nappa into the air, killing him off. Everyone is shocked and appalled, to think that Vegeta would be so dirty as to kill off his own partner...!

...Well. This shock and appallment occurs only to everyone except those who actually watched Dragon Ball Z and knew that this was inevitably going to happen at some point. To which they reply, one at a time, with...

Damn, that’s crazy.

Lively Snow then fires a Freeze Buster at Rickets for 43 damage as Magnet Bomber drops a Magnet Bomb on Lambda Wind, who takes 17 damage... and has an Electric resistance.

Sorry about your streak... I suppose.

As Duo charges his Superlaser, Full Release Devil takes notice of Anemone’s Tempest Eye, flashing a Hellish Grin. For some reason, everyone feels compelled to attack him in the next round. (For the next round only: Taunt on the user, Enraged on all players.)

That power again, eh? Fine by me. I have JUST the gambit ready...

Suddenly, a dark aura shrouds Frevil... one that those from the Betan raid are much familiar with.

...to prove once and for all... that the energy created by your Reaper means NOTHING to me!

Meanwhile, Golden Digamma unleashes a Lightning Gatling on Matomi for 130 damage, then strikes Paradox Man with a Thunder Punch for 97! He then takes 114 damage from his Sunburn. Meanwhile, Full Release Jewel blasts Dord with a Crystal Buster for 337 damage before slashing Matomi with his Blade of Reflection, dealing 344 damage that is then reflected onto Overdelta. He takes 341 damage from his Sunburn.

(Seriously? Again?

Then, as Full Release Angel boosts his stats with a Holy Grail and charges an Anti-Panto Buster, Full Release Shadow notices Vegeta’s return.

Back for round 2, ‘Geets?

Charging a Shadow Buster, Fradow proceeds to blast the Saiyan prince with an Element Ball for 185 damage. And as Fradow takes 93 damage, the last of the Sunburn finally subsides.

Meanwhile, Overclocked Delta blasts Worker with a Time Buster for 26 damage before charging another as Dord strikes Koppa Muscle with a Laceration for 1717 damage, raising Koppa’s Multiplier to x4.

Afterwards, Demon Fire blasts Anemone with a Flame Buster for 478 damage before teaming with Lisnow to strike Admiral Brickell with a Frostflare Shot, dealing 980 damage and inflicting Frostburn.

Duo’s Galaxy Bomb SPs go off again, only this time, Fradow is released from one of them after taking 33 damage as Frewel takes 12 and Pi takes 84. The Purgatory Bomb SP from the long-since-defeated Shadow Duo still strikes Dord for 87 damage.

Meanwhile, as Theta Mephisto fires a Null Beam at Paradox Man for 23 damage, Anemone’s Tempest Eye comes in at full swing, striking Overdelta and Frewel with a Cyclonic Ravager for 85 and 18 damage, respectively, before unleashing a Wind Overdrive!

...To save time and character space, I’m just going to share this image of the damage dealt:



...And again, I’m not going to list every Multiplier increase since that would take a long time, so I’ll just state for the record that the only ones to not have their Multiplier increase was Full Release Shadow, Full Release Devil, Full Release Jewel, Overclocked Delta, and Celestial Cosmic.

...And another thing...

!

As the blast impacts Rho, he suddenly shorts out, shutting down on the ground.

...

As Rho lays on the floor, it would appear as though he is down for the count.




..........Until-

VIRUS DETECTED.

Suddenly, a strange aura- or, rather, a Viral Error- flows through Rho as he stands back up. Rho Error has been awakened!

...I SHALL ERADICATE YOU ALL.

Worker pulls out another Rush Mode and Motivation combination, this time sacrificing 1600 HP before unleashing two more Lesser Neutral Overdrive +s, Buster Charging, and unleashing another Overdrive for a total of 1350 damage to Dche Juggler and 2700 damage to everyone else before healing twice with Energy Support EX.

...And if I were to list EVERY Multiplier increase to happen this round, I’d be working on this forever. So, I’m just gonna say for the record that there have been rather significant jumps in the multipliers from this. (Also, it goes without saying that Phantom Illusion Ex is also dead.)

Including...

Right! Time to get serious!

Suddenly, Zeta’s power rises as a mystical energy surges around him, his Potential Unleashed as he becomes Ultimate Zeta!

This power was taught to me by the great Matt himself! So you’d better not take this form lightly!

Iota Forest, too, steps forward.

...Right. Now it’s MY turn to go into phase 2.

Frevil chuckles.

Pfft, yeah, right, nature boy. You and what transformation?

Iota smirks in response.

Who said anything about a transformation?

Iota then slams his hand onto the ground, the earth around everyone vibrating. Something proceeds to rise below Iota as the stone of the plateau seems to morph itself around Iota into a humanoid shape...

...A very large, very monstrous humanoid shape. The Iota Titan has been forged as it follows Iota’s every movement, who is in the very center of the beast!

In my eyes, flashy transformations are overrated, anyways! I prefer to go BI-
HEY!!!

Suddenly, a voice from high up catches everyone’s attention. Everyone looks for the source of the voice...

Hey, you! Yeah, I’m talking to you! Up here, you SQUAWK! SQUAWK!!

The group looks up to the top of Iota’s head to see...

...A Groundhog?

Why the SQUAWK! are you messin’ up my hole!?

Upsilon, upon seeing the creature, facepalms.

(Oh, gods, why is HE here...?)

The other members of Beta Team look at each other in confusion.

...Who in the world is that little guy? ...And why does he have my hairstyle?
His name is Yat Animus. He is a counterpart of your other self from the Discord Chat universe where he and many of the users from MMRPG were secretly groundhogs... Save for HighTower, who was secretly an owl..*
Wait, I thought he always has been an owl.
He was; He’s human now, remember?
Oh, yeah...
HEY! I’m still RANTING up here! Oh, and by the way, I stopped going by that stupid “Yat Animus” name a long time ago! It’s Beta Groundhog now!
Well, look, “Mr. Groundhog”. I didn’t mean to dig up your home-
Home? HAH! Homes are for losers that only settle for the bare minimum! What you dug up was my TERRITORY, and one of many at THAT!
(Having a home is the bare minimum? I’m sure there’s someone out there who’d be able to tell you otherwise.)
-But with all due respect, we’re in the middle of a training session here.
Fine by me! Bring it on, then, I’ll chew your SQUAWK!in’ kneecaps off! Ya hear me!?

Beta Groundho-

Yeah, no, we are not calling him that.

Yat Animus has joined the fight!

@QuintAnother : For character alts, the format for it is:

Except for Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, and Doc Robot, who uses this format:

[robot:right]{copy-bot_type}

For example, your Yellow Proto Man would be:

[robot:right]{proto-man_electric}


As for entirely custom characters- such as King Macintosh- we make the image ourselves and use the image formatting:

Consider myself interested.

I think I'll join the 4th Kingdom.

***Reference: The Chaos Zone, Page 179, Post #6; In order to have Beta X teach Alpha Fire the Demon Sage transformation, Alpha was tasked to find a way to change the ways of his original counterpart, Alpha Miser, who was reincarnated into Iota Forest. Beta Miser, too, was reincarnated, becoming Kappa Whirlpool.

---

...Why do I feel like I’m being mocked somehow...?

Admiral Brickell then proceeds to aim at Frevil with an Advanced Intel, striking for a total of 8196 damage, raising his multiplier to x29. Meanwhile, Dche Juggler proceeds to toss the balls he were juggling up into the air and down onto the field (Juggling Hand), which then explode to deal 30 damage to AO Remnant No, Magnet Bomber, and Rickets!

Suddenly, yet another portal opens as two more figures emerge.

HELLO? IS THIS THE RIGHT PLACE...?
Ah, Rho, my friend! Glad you could join us here today!
I MEAN... I WASN’T DOING ANYTHING ELSE, SO...

Rho Program looks around, noticing all of Beta Team looking at him cautiously.

...WHAT’S WITH THE WEIRD LOOKS? ALSO... WHY DO SOME OF YOU SEEM SO... FAMILIAR?
Ah, nevermind that for now! Please, join us on the field of battle!
...Though, if I may ask, who is your friend there?

Everyone looks over to a figure next to Rho.

I’M NOT SURE... HE JUST KINDA FOLLOWED ME, I SUPPOSE.
...My name is Koppa Muscle. I heard there was a fight. I wanted in on it, so I followed this green guy.
...Ok...? But where are you from, anyways?

Koppa crosses his arms.

Where I’m from is not important. I am here to fight. That is all.

Suddenly, a third figure appears from out of nowhere!

Interesting. I, too, am here to battle.

The third newcomer looks over to Theta.

Apologies, master. But I could not wait in the shadows any longer.

All of Beta Team, as well as Frevil, glance over at Theta.

...Alright, alright. I created a copy of the Soul Agate so that I could experiment with creating a clone of Beta Shadow. I just wanted to add more members to Theta Team, alright? Sue me.

The third figure stands next to Rho and Koppa as all three get into a fighting stance of sorts.

Be prepared, for I am Sigma Virus! Let down your guard for a moment, and you shall fall to my poison!

*No type was given for this move so I decided to make it Cossack/None since Cossack is an underused type.

Don’t ask what Cossack has to do with Charisma just let me have this-
**Reference: The Absurd Roleplay, Page 10, Post #8; Epsilon Snow (known as Beta Miser at the time) has a power that he compares to the Miser Brothers; Unlike the brothers, who can freeze or melt things by touching them, Beta Miser can make things “incomplete”, causing them to glitch out or come undone.

Meanwhile, Dche begins to... juggle? While Rickets unleashes his Bombos Medallion, dealing 42 damage to Demfire, 18 to Fradow, 11 to Frevil, 193 to Goldigamma, 11 to Frewel, 17 to Frangel, 42 to Overdelta, 132 to Lisnow, 54 to Zelight, 428 to Celecos, 77 to Thephisto, 54 to Iota, 162 to Kappool, 278 to Xi, 194 to Pi, and 647 to Phantom Illusion Ex, with Overdelta having an Explode weakness, Demfire reaching Multiplier x24, Celecos reaching Multiplier x10, and Zelight striking back for 36 damage with Mystic Fencing.

Suddenly, Burning Pirate- only being furious over being blasted by a gush of water- decides to return the favor...

...on Frevil.

Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding m-

Burnrate proceeds to submerge Frevil with a Keelhauler! ...Which is only effective for 1 damage, but also makes him more susceptible to other attacks.

Morph Man then fires a Charged Sonic Slicer, dealing 62, 17, 40, 10, and 23 damage to Celecos, Thephisto, Xi, Lambda, and Kappool, respectively. Theta is revealed to have a Swift weakness, while Lambda has a Swift resistance.

Then, as Alicia bonks Pi Android with a Water Hammer for 11 damage- finding the robot to be quite Water-proof-, Hellion Lady sacrifices all but 1 point of HP to cast a Memento on the entire squad, debuffing each and every single one.

...Well, except for the ones who already had max debuffs to begin with, anyways.

Afterwards, as Matomi strikes Theta with a 450-damage Blaze Splitter, Ghost of Stache takes 90 more damage from within the Shadow Realm while Frewel continues to take 5 damage from the second Galaxy Bomb SP around him.

...

Then, AO Remnant No proceeds to unleash a Megidolaon that strikes Demfire for 10 damage, Fradow and Frevil for 2, Goldigamma for 22, Frewel for 1, Overdelta for 3, Lisnow for 15, Zelight for 3, Celecos for 50, Thephiso for 9, Iota for 6, Kappool for 19, Lambda for 16, Dche for 13, Xi for 32, Pi for 23, and Phantom Illusion Ex for 75. A Level resistance is found for Full Release Devil and Zeta Light, the latter of which strikes again with Mystic Fencing for 90 damage. Xi Warrior also reaches a x2 Multiplier.

Ho ho! I’m certain you won’t want to be taking that lying down, now don’t you, my friend? That is why I shall grant you permission to go before me.
...VERY WELL.

Phantom Illusion Ex then proceeds to point a buster at AO Remnant No... before redirecting it at Admiral Brickell, firing 9 Experience Shots at her instead, dealing 46 damage! Afterwards, Xi Warrior lets out a Battlecry while Pi Android primes itself for a Piston Knuckle!

Theta Mephisto then decides to strike Rickets with his Duality Blade, dealing 380 damage and causing him to collapse.

...That is, until his Fairy Reserves resurrects him as if it never happened to begin with.

...Well, maybe. He might be a little upset, but he’s a skeleton so I can’t really tell what his expression is.

Meanwhile, Zeta Light pulls out a rapier shrouded in an energy of light, preparing some Mystic Fencing with anyone who tries to attack him. Meanwhile, since Dord already has max stats from the Zeal he used last round (and I am NOT giving you any more than the natural max for Zeal, especially for a raid like this), he goes straight for not 2, but 3 Lacerations on Pi Android for a total of 3483 damage, increasing Pi’s multiplier directly to a x5.

Meanwhile, Duo’s Galaxy Bomb SPs continue to leave their marks, dealing 13 and 8 damage to Fradow and Frewel, respectively, as the Purgatory Bomb SP around Dord still strikes, this time for 87 damage.

...Then, suddenly, Iota Forest walks up next to Kappa Whirlpool with a tree on his shoulder.

Well, it wasn’t easy, but I managed to grow one.

Suddenly, the tree morphs into... some kind of giant squirtgun?

If you may do the honors.
On it, bro!

Then, at that moment, Burning Pirate finds himself feeling the impact of a Treetrunk Hydro Cannon, blasting him for 480 damage! Meanwhile, Demon Fire strikes Worker with a Melting Point Punch, dealing 343 damage and knocking him down while also dealing 172 damage with Sunburn recoil. He then charges a Flame Buster.

Somehow still standing, Anemone copies Frevil’s stats with Psyche Up.

Heheh... You CAN’T be serious. Alright, sure, copy my stats. By all means...
...Enjoy them while they last.

Meanwhile, Lambda Wind attempts a Twister Strike on Dord and misses while PIRATE deploys a Cloaking Cell.

...Which allows for Lively Snow to come up to Dord from behind.

Tag, no tagbacks!

Suddenly, as Lisnow taps Dord’s Blazing Wings, his Incomplete Touch kicks in, causing his wings to revert into a Mach Bumper! (This will last until Dord is next disabled or the raid ends, whichever comes first.)

...Huh. You know, I forgot you could do that.**
...Hang on. If that power originally came from Beta Miser**...

Iota turns to Kappa.

...Then shouldn’t you be able to do that, too?***

Kappa shrugs. Lisnow follows up with a Freeze Buster, blasting Brickell for 47 damage while taking 24 from Sunburn.

Afterwards, Magnet Bomber rains down on Kappa Whirlpool with a Dragon Thunder, dealing 67 damage and revealing an Electric weakness. Afterwards, Celestial Cosmic tosses two Astral Airplanes that deals 48 damage to Rickets and 52 damage to Morph Man.

Worker uses another Rush Mode before considering using Motivation again. But, uh...



...Yeah, something tells me that’s not going to work out.

Thankfully, you still have two Chronostones out... For now. So, I can at least use two of those moves.

So, Worker proceeds to take Paradox Man on Charisma Classes* before unleashing what I shall dub a Lesser Neutral Overdrive +, dealing 335 damage to Dche Juggler and 669 to everyone else. Fradow, Frevil, Goldigamma, Frewel, Frangel, Overdelta, Zelight, Thephisto, Iota, Kappa, and Lambda have their Multipliers increased by 1.

Following this, a Galaxy Bomb SP from Duo forms around Pi Android and deals 140 damage as P. Man pulls Overdelta aside for a talk.

I... suppose I can talk. Any topic in particular on your mind?

As Matomi prepares a Razor Guard, Frevil looks around.

Let’s see... Eenie... Meenie... Miney...

He then sets his eyes on Nappa.

You’ll do.

He then unleashes his Chaotic Kamemehameha at Nappa, blasting him for 1672 damage! The two Sentry Drones also get caught in the crossfire, dealing 1259 damage to both of them and blowing them to pieces. Nappa, too, is on the ground, knocked out.

He then turns to Anemone with a wicked grin.

Your turn.

He then strikes Anemone with Hell’s Chaos! But despite taking 1224 damage, she still stands, only suffering a Burn II. Frevil only grows stronger as the 2095 damage he gets from his Sunburn boosts his multiplier to x21.

...Oh! Wait a second, Eta!

Suddenly, Golden Digamma pulls out an Electrified Banhammer, which he then strikes Worker with for 65 damage, while also preventing him from using the same moves two turns in a row for 3 turns!

I actually did keep this one! I just forgot where I got it from!

He then strikes Duo with a Gigavolt Crash for 360 damage and takes 213 damage from Sunburn as Full Release Angel unleashes a Holy Tri-Sphere on Matomi, Worker, and Alicia for 79, 272, and 849 damage, respectively, taking 718 Sunburn damage and increasing his Multiplier to x16. He then attempts an Hephaestus’ Inferno on Morph Man, but misses.

Full Release Jewel then, while charging a Crystal Buster, strikes Dord with a Crystalline Kick for 242 damage, taking 121 damage from Sunburn. Afterwards, Full Release Shadow Drinks Dr. Pepper to grant himself an additional AP before striking Magnet Bomber once with a Tornado of Darkness for 663 damage. He then pulls out his Obsidian-Tipped Diamond Sword and looks around the room.

Hmmm...

He then spots the two Chronostones.

...Eh, it’ll do.

He then strikes them both for 867 damage each, shattering them before taking 1199 damage from his Sunburn and reaching a x14 multiplier.

...Hold on a second. Pi said there was a “Syntax Error” for Mu, Nu, Omicron, and Chi.
Now, I know about Rho Program, and I did hear about a “De-Tau Nation”...
But why the hell was there no “Syntax error” for Sigma?

Theta suddenly whistles nervously.







(Note: I am no longer giving out make-up turns for the rest of this raid.)

AS WAS BEING STATED, IN ACCORDANCE TO THE PLOTLINE, THE ORDER OF APPEARANCE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF GROUP “Beta Team” AND TAGLINE “Beta Team Associates” IS IN THE ORDER OF THE LETTERS OF THE GREEK ALPHABET. ORDER OF THESE LETTERS ARE AS FOLLOWED:
ALPHA.
BETA.
GAMMA.
DELTA.
EPSILON.
ZETA.
ETA.
THETA.
IOTA.
KAPPA.
LAMBDA.
MU.
NU.
XI.
OMICRON.
PI.
RHO.
SIGMA.
TAU.
UPSILON.
** PHI.
CHI.
PSI.
OMEGA.

SYNTAX ERROR: THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECORDED ALTERNATE UNIVERSE COUNTERPARTS OF USER “Beta Shadow” WHO ARE LABELED UNDER THE LETTERS MU, NU, OMICRON, OR CHI.
UNDER THESE TERMS, THE IDEAL NEXT UNIT AFTER SUBJECT “Xi Warrior”... WOULD BE MYSELF.
...

Suddenly, Xi Warrior starts to... Snore?

Nice going, ya emotionless tin can. Should be a lot easier to get him to Multiplier x10 now that you bored him to sleep when you just could’ve said you were going up next.
I ASSURE YOU, SUBJECT “Reggae”, I HAVE STATED WHAT IS REQUIRED OF ME TO HAVE STATED.
Well, I’m sure that Upsilon will be able to make you a real personality after this since he has the freetime for it now.

Suddenly, Xi snaps himself awake.

Well then, my metal comrade! Let us charge into battle as warriors of steel!
CONFIRMED. WE ARE BOTH SYNONYMOUS WITH THE USE OF METALLIC MATERIAL.
Hoho! Well said, friend; Onwards, to glory!

Xi Warrior and Pi Android join the fight!

**While normally a HighTower character, he gave me permission to use Phi Doppelganger for this particular raid.

Afterwards, Nappa unleashes two Bomber DXs on Dche Juggler for 449 damage, finding an Explode weakness and increasing his multiplier to x2. Then, as Admiral Brickell arrives, she prepares an Advanced Intel for Digamma Bolt... Then, suddenly, she feels a Shoulder Tap from Dche Juggler, causing her to look away, accidentally using the attack on Iota Forest instead, dealing 3597 damage and increasing his multiplier to x6.

As the round draws to a close, Overdelta uses Temporal Rewind on Demfire, reversing all damage, effects, and Multiplier increases placed on him during the round! (Though everyone will still earn points and Zenny from such.) Lambda Wind then unleashes the Air Twister he was preparing at Blazing Pirate, dealing 71 damage.

Suddenly, a portal appears, with a figure dropping from it!

...And by drop, I don’t mean they float down. They just unceremoniously fall straight to the ground on their back. They then proceed to stand back up as if nothing happened, dusting themselves off before posing himself dramatically.

Greetings, fellow warriors! I, Xi Warrior, have arrived to join this duel!
And I have not come alone... Behold, for I have brought some friends!

Suddenly, three more figures float down. ...Well, two do; One of them is actually held up by the back of their collar.

Actually, it is I who has brought him. I have also managed to bring these deserters, as well.
Ok, now calling us “deserters” is just uncalled fo-

Upsilon Narrator is unceremoniously dropped onto the floor as Pi Android lands next to him.

Great to see that you guys don’t miss me at all, seeing as you’ve ALREADY found a replacement.

Both Frevil and Reggae look at Fradow disappointingly.

Why is HE here?
Oh, relax; I invited him here as a punishment.
Well, I for one am not picky. Which of you shall be joining my side in this bout?
I’ll pass. I’d rather keep myself out of this one for as long as possible, thanks.

Xi immediately looks at Upsilon.

No way. I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I am NOT a fighter.
EXACTLY why I brought you here as PUNISHMENT.
PICKING SUBJECT “Psi Foretell” AND CREATOR “Upsilon Narrator” AS THE NEXT UNIT AFTER SUBJECT “Xi Warrior” TO JOIN THE BATTLE WOULD BE INCORRECT. IN ACCORDANCE TO PLOTLINE “Beta Team & Associates Raid Boss”-
Dude, I get you’re supposed to be an emotionless robot and all, but you’re NOT a part of the plot police anymore, so stop acting like you are.
APOLOGIES, BUT I AM NOT PROGRAM TO ACT, NOR AM I TO SPEAK AS A NON-PLOT POLICE UNIT.
“Not yet,” I should add. Keep in mind I’m still not used to being FIRED yet.
Oh, REALLY? And, tell me; Who the hell’s fault is that, exactly!?
