Wh-- What? What crack?

Alt Rock immediately pulls out a holographic monitor. Needless to say, the crack is there. Somehow.

....No. This can't be real. This has to be some sort of sick coincience. Some kinda mindgame. And I won't stand for it.

Alt Rock immediately fires a flurry of Buster Barrages at Alt Doc.

....

Alt Rock de-activates Speed Switch.

....Don't you play games with me. My universe along with everyone in it is dead. Destroyed. Reduced to a single memory. Including my Wily. Besides, even if you were him, I don't believe we've ever actually fought.

Alt Rock dodges the Shining Laser with a Speed Switch, somersaulting out of the way and then afterwards throwing Ice Shards At Alt Doc's direction.

So this world's Wily is up to something, eh? I guess I'll have to personally give him my thanks after I finish wiping the floor with you!

After throwing the Ice Shards Alt Rock charges, leaping into the air to deliver a direct kick in the head to Alt Doc!

!!

Alt Rock sees Alt Doc burst through the penthouse room and instinctively jumps, backflipping off the balcony while after firing a barrage of Buster Shots from below.

Alright, this is getting ridiculous. A Doc Robot? What the hell is going on here?

Alt. Rock walks down a lone valley, pondering what to do.

Huh. It's been so long since I've spent any time off enjoying myself, I have no idea what to do.
If only there was some way anyone could guide me on how to use my free time....

---

Everything ..hurts.

---

Quartet Enterprises did give me a lot of spare cash to use at my disposal, though.... maybe I could rent a hotel?
Or look for a proper challenge, seeing as I haven't had one yet...
...Nah. The moment's already passed.

Alt Rock suddenly gets a vision of the past. Bitterly, pulls down a locket, looking at himself and his... former... family.

...But above all that. I can't forget the one thing that must be done at all costs.

Suddenly turns to find a flashing light, being a Hotel. He decides to walk in and rent the penthouse, and then figure out his next course of action in there.

Meanwhile, Alt. Rock returns to give Hades a status report:

I see... this purple fellow intervened, slaughtering a vast majority of the clones?
Y-yes, Lord Hades.
(He doesn't show any outward signs of hostility or malicious intent, but whenever I'm around him I feel this...weird creepy sensation. What...is he?)
....Hmph. It never ceases to surprise me what ridiculous course of events take place throughout this universe.
Regardless, your mission for now is complete. You may spend your free time however you wish. You will be contacted when your assistance is required.
I understand. Thank you, Lord Hades.
Alt Rock leaves the Throne Room to find his way out of the Dark Fortress, looking for something to do the pass the time.

Hah. Too eas-
Oh, what the frag now?

Alt Rock sees Mr Dink annihilating the of MKII clones.

.....
You know what, I've had enough action to last me for now, Mech Bots, roll out.

Perhaps out of apathy, surprise, or pure dumbfoundery Alt Rock and the Mech-Clones he brought with him teleport back to the Dark Fortress, leaving Mr. Dink to do what he pleases.

---

So he didn't end up using much of his power during that little ruse of ours. Master Exoros will not be pleased.
I don't know how this person got a hold of Rock Alter, but time can't keep being tampered with. We'll have to act....For the sake of reality itself.

....Mechbots.
....

Alt Rock upgrades the several thousands of Mech-II robots behind him with an Mass Attack Boost

You know what to do.

The Mech-II bots and the MKII clones charge at each other, though as one-sided as it should be given the Attack Boost Giga, the clones still seem to have a slight edge.

Of course. You want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

Alt Rock flashes, equipping a pair of Earth Gauntlets, all the while jumping into the frontlines, punching one of the MKII clones himself.

...Yeah! How's that for some action?

The clone seems slightly cracked to a blow that would've destroyed it under regular circumstances.

....
....

Alt Rock, unwilling to give in, pummels the clone with a flurry of flying fists from the gauntlet until the clone is disabled and knocked into a nearby building. A Rock, meanwhile takes a slight moment to think about this occurence.

(The hell was that? One shot should've been enough. None of the clones were this strong before. There's also a weird vibe, and as a Stat Booster, I have a feeling that durability wasn't just natural physical capability.)
Even though we outnumber them severely, it feels like an even match... this doesn't add up. Either way...)

Alt Rock activates his buster, and begins shooting at the clones rapidly. It seems to be working relatively efficently.

Their weakness will be their downfall.

---

Attack Formation- A variant of Attack Boost that can be given to all allies at once.

---

Earth Gauntlets- Gauntlets forged from several materials from the earth itself, raising Attack Damage and Defense but slightly decreasing Speed.

---

Permabuff (Passive (Alt Rock Exclusive)- Buffs made by the team member to other allies and themselves can not by any means be debuffed directly by the opposite party.

Alt Rock, standing in front of a humongous quantity of Mech-II clones, reaches his destination. A voice comes from Alt Rock's communicator.

Alt Rock. This is your master speaking. A time of crisis has approached this world. You have come here to protect the people of this city.
*scoff* Oh, really? And I thought this universe was all talk. Maybe I'll get to kick someone elses' can too.
It would be most wise of you to abandon that mentality while you still have the option to. You do not know the potential dangers this world could hold if so desired.
...Fair enough. It's not like there can't be other strong beings here.... not that I've seen any yet (well, besides you).
...I will ask you again. Are you positive that you can handle any of this?
Lord Hades.... If I wasn't. I wouldn't be here.
"...Fair Enough". Though I once again press you to take this seriously. if you ever, in any point of battle, are near fatal condition with no way out, do not hesitate to flee. You have my best regards.

The voice leaves, the next moments before war being made of pure silence.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Fortress Hades continues to monitor everything happening from his view. Suddenly, the telephone on Hades' desk rings. Hades raises a finger, and the phone rises.

Quartet Enterprises.
You have my thanks for dealing with the clone invasion, but something possible even worse has come! The sky is red for whatever reason, and chaos is being ensued throughout the entire city!
Ah. Mayor Dorado.
Listen. Whatever magic your corporation managed to work around the whole world, you've gotta do it again. Crime rates are rising, people are *dying*-- I don't even know how to describe i--
Mayor. I respectfully urge you to cease your constant fretfulness. We here at Quartet Enterprises are doing our best to maintain peace and spread useful utilities for all sorts of citizens. As a matter of fact...

The screen in front of Hades suddenly switches to Alt. Rock and a limitless army of Mech-IIs behind him marching towards Mega City.

...I believe it is already being taken care of.

@TheHighTower : The portal closes as quickly as they opened- Never, due to the invisible barrier around it protecting any and all things outside of it's origin.

Meanwhile, watching the events unfolding from afar from his "Throne Room"...

.....
(DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! DE-) .....
No. I am not one of those uncivilized brutes. The world is mine to dominate from the shadows and mine alone. I have no room for such savagery amongst my thoughts.

Hades carries on supervising his Fortress.

Meanwhile, A. Rock reports back to the Dark Fortress after going on a binge of mass destruction, eliminating MKII clones across the globe.
A. Rock, still walking forward, looks at the near endless supply of "Mech-II" bots guarding the area, and thinks back to himself.


A. Rock approaches an elevator, pressing the digits and walking in it, and after going up it, walks down the hall into a room called "WE Restoration Room".

[ (Dr. Light. Roll. You guys hang in there. In due time, everything will be back to normal...]{neutral.}

...I just know it.)

Back in Dimension 1, hordes of MKIIs are causing havoc in the abandoned City known as City 459.

DESTROY.

One MKII about to blow up an abandoned house is suddenly stabbed through the neck, by an invisible figure knife with some pink substance, disabling it.

The figure suddenly appears from thin air, revealing themselves to be none other than A. Rock.

While everyone else was having a battle to determine the fate of this world, I'm out here on cleanup duty. Go figure.

Suddenly, a barrage of gun clicking noises are heard as A. Rock looks up, finding himself to be surrounded by a seemingly
endless horde of MKII clones, each pointing their buster towards him with their shield out.

....
Heh heh. Perhaps you'll all make a half-decent exercise after all.

A. Rock summons an Ice Blockade to defend himself from the onslaught of various weapons, which works until the blockade cracks. The clones continue firing through the broken ice believing to have A. Rock surrounded, and then stop at the voice of someone at a rooftop.

Hey bolt-brains!

The figure appears to be A. Rock, but with a slightly different appearance...

Too slow, too slow! How do you expect to hit anyone with that typa speed?
Don't you dumb worry, however. Since you tried...-- tried being the keyword here-- I'll reward your wasted attempts with a little present of my own!

A. Rock returns to his normal state, albeit with a solemn look on his face.

....
.....FIREBALL--!

--METEOR!!!

A. Rock, suddenly under a reddish hue, summons a giant ball of pure heat from space, devastating the mob of MKIIs and creating a huge explosion, along with a fire. A. Rock shortly after summoning it powers down, looking down at the damage caused and somewhat admiring his work.

...This is A. Rock reporting in. My current mission is complete, City 459 has been MKII-purged.

A robotic voice responds from A. Rock's communicator.

Stand by for your next orders.
(Well, if this is all there is to these MKII clones, then exterminating the rest of them will be a peice of cake...hopefully, no... inconveniences.... will get in the way of this mission.)

Fireball Meteor- The user summons a large ball of pure flames itself to crash into it's designated target. Multiple can be summoned, or just one large meteor.

---

Ice Blockade- A spiky wave of ice that can protect the user from a certain amount of attacks before cracking, or melting. Can be summed either in front of or all around the user.

Yet still at the Dark Fortress....

Hades and A. Rock walk out of what seems to be a Items/Weaponry Room and begin walking down a long hallway.

There you are. this Weakness Nullifier Module should at least give you more resistance to Electric-based attacks. Not to mention the Upgrades your Stat Boosts will receive to compete in times of crisis. There is also.... "something else" that has been added. Hopefully you will need not to resort to it.
Hnhnn. I do feel different...
Not that I needed that sort of upgrade in the long run. Anyway, just what is it you need me to do?
Though day by day our domain and grasp over this earth grows stronger, we cannot simpy stay cooped in a simple Fortress until the end of time.
This is where you come in. Your ability to adapt as the situation requires it will be useful, as well as, now that it is confirmed that we no longer have any guarantee of being safe from any other... characters of sort, your ability keeping tabs at a low-profile. Is that clear?

A. Rock flashes a grin.

Heh! Crystal. They'd better not dare to look down on me...

Because if they do... they'll only live long enough to regret it.

Meanwhile, Hades is back at the Dark Fortreess. Or rather, where the Dark Fortress was. Hades snaps his fingers, and a sphere surrounding the entire area appears, reversing the events of anything inside of it, as well as restoring Hades' cape.

Yes... that is more like it.
Though in the wake of the upmost recent events that have transpired, perhaps it is for the best that proper defenses are installed so this doesn't happen. Mech-II!

One of Hades' soldier's approaches him.

Awaiting your command.
I am about to give you a password. This password is to be be programmed and locked into the systems of every one of you Battle Mechs. No matter what happens, as soon as an outsider else tries to find it, your system will be shut down. After hearing it, you will construct a laser barrier around the fortress.

Hades grabs The Mech-II's forehead, a moment later letting go.

...Command received. Following orders.

The Mech-bot walks off to construct the laser barrier.

Hmm. Now to make a few business calls.

Hades immediately equips his Agony Cannon, shooting it at Photon Man, exploding him.

Do not rejoice in the face of death just yet. That was but an infinitesimal portion of what you have coming to you.

Hades immediately shoots a Rewind Shot at Photon Man, rewinding him back to normal, albeit frozen.

Your attempts at diminishing my impending empire serve no purpose, as did your attempts to dominate the earth of this dimension. You will suffer in an eternity filled with the unknown, lusting for death itself forever, with none of your brothers to rescue you. Your only companion being insanity as you see your hopes of revenge crushed by the ones you sought out to exterminate. Over. And over. And over again. Unable to act. Unable to end. The only purpose you served, was as not a victor in the spoils of war, but as a distraction. A cover-up to hide someone elses' agendas. And a lackluster one at that.

Hades pulls his hand forward. Suddenly, Photon Man is shifted into a limbo plane of reality where he at the same time does and doesn't exist, doomed to do nothing but watch a recording in his mind which plays the deaths of each of the ASNs (including himself) over and over again, the other parts being unlocked when said deaths for other ASNs happen. The parts deemed necessary by Sergeant however, fall to the floor in tact. Hades then returns to normal.

Apologies for my misconduct, although I must warn everyone here that this is the fate of those who trifle where they do not belong rather than know their place. Now, if you'll excuse me...I have some renovating to take care of.

Hades opens another wormhole and walks through it, disappearing yet again.

---

Agony Cannon- A amalgam of the MKII Buster and the Anomaly Cannon. It has the abilities of both.

---

Rewind Shot- A shot which rewinds the user to a previous state in time. The more powerful the shot, the further back said person is rewinded.

Hades allows the weapons to make contact with him, in the end with no effect in the slightest.

Are you done? Good.

Hades immediately grabs the Crystal Joe responsible by the head.

I dread to share this side of myself often due to how... unbusinesslike it is to lose my composure. But if it is the case that I must set an example of those who test my patience....

Hades...blinks at the Crystal Joe, causing it to pop out of existence and into it's own pocket dimension where it experiences every death possible. Twice.

...then I will respond in kind.

Hades jumps in the air, crashing into every ceiling above him until he reaches the floor that Photon Man is on.
