Golden Digamma - Multiplier x16 (148/500)
Full Release Jewel - Multiplier x16 (311/500)

*A bit of an in-joke on how Beta Shadow was designed over the years. To save myself time from hunting down the exact page links, the evolution was like this:
> >

Worker interrupts the conversation after an Energy Support EX and a Motivation- healing everyone before reducing his HP by 900 to grant himself 4 grand spanking new APs- with a total of 4 Neutral Overdrives that deals a total of 3600 damage to all 7 on-field members of Beta Team (which, I’ll be frank: I’m probably not going to include this in the scores, because 25200 points in one move is just ridiculous, even if it’s technically 4. But I honestly haven’t been keeping score yet, so we’ll see). To summarize, this adds +7 to ALL multipliers except for Frevil, who manages to get 8.

Ouch... Yep, that smarts.
Indeed... I think the best response to this would be to stop holding back and go all-out.
I’m down if you guys are down. Digamma?
Yeah, I think that’d be reasonable.
Then let us proceed with our transformations.
“Our”? Since when could you transform?
I’ve been quite busy since our previous encounter. It is a recent achievement that I have yet to fully get a hang of... But no better time than the present, correct?
Sounds logical to me. Now, then...

All five of them proceed to build up energy, causing an incredibly immense pressure to come across the field! So focused on the transformation, Beta Shadow barely even feels the Sol-Dyna left earlier by Django go off, leading it to only cause 3 damage! (Full Release Shadow resistance: Flame)

Delta Paradox invokes the true power of a Time Lord, becoming Overclocked Delta!

Time to go all out!

Gamma Angel awakens his new power: Primal Ego, becoming Full Release Angel!

Prepare yourselves, for now you shall face judgment!

Gamma Jewel awakens his Primal Instinct, becoming Full Release Jewel! For some reason, Theta Mephisto scowls from the spectators area...

(I thought he would use the same form as Robbicus... I didn’t even think a form like this could even exist.)

A Golden aura surrounds Digamma Bolt as he unleashes his Inner Power, becoming Golden Digamma!

You know, I couldn’t even begin to think of a more golden opportunity to bring this out.

And last but not least, Beta Shadow activates the power of Ultra Instinct, becoming Full Release Shadow!

Get ready: THIS is where your training truly begins!

---

De-

---

Suddenly, Epsilon Snow runs onto the field!

Yeah! Now it’s my turn!

Epsilon Snow attempts to power up, but is stopped by Delta.

Epsilon, we talked about this: You have to start SMALL.
Awwww! But everyone else got to have their cool transformation sequence!
Epsilon, the way things have been going, I’m fairly certain you’ll be getting your “cool transformation sequence” before you know it.
Okay...

Epsilon Snow joins the fight!

As his multiplier reaches x8, Gamma Jewel proceeds to remove his debuffs with Jewel Polish! During this, Sarah Oasis strikes Full Release Devil with a Jewelry Blast for 8 damage while RP-Dojo Shadow warps into space to grab a piece of the sun.

Taking a moment’s rest, Alicia uses Energy Boost twice thanks to Cloud T’s Energizing Jolt in the previous round, recovering 728 HP while Anemone uses Psyche Up to replicate Duo’s stat changes for herself! During this, Paradox Man Buster Charges (he technically did this before the second Chronoforce, but priority is priority, and Buster Charge is not that.)

Meanwhile, Matomi switches into her Haze Stance and strikes Demon Fire with a Frost Shackle for 141 damage, inflicting Fleeting Frost and increasing his multiplier to x17 in the process.

Afterwards, Stache wraps Gamma up in yet another Galaxy Bomb SP that deals 14 damage before consuming a W-Tank.

...Now, I’m going to go OOC and say this: The “two turns” that PK Starstorm Omega went down by did not go down the way Gamma stated as much as he may think. Technically, an AP is just an extra move done within a turn, not a turn in of itself.

In fact, by all technicalities, Duo should not have been able to “supercharge” his Superlaser from the get-go.

But, I figured “what the hell” and played along with it. And this will still be a viable play... As long as you choose to skip one of your extra APs in exchange for said duration decrease.

...That being said, the PK Starstorm Omega was going to strike on this turn, anyways. So, without further adieu...

Suddenly, blasts of pure psychic energy rain down on the entire field as Stache’s Perfected PK Starstorm Ω strikes hard and true, dealing 156 damage to Demon Fire, 111 to Beta, 40 damage to Frevil, 75 to Digamma, 37 to Gamma, 95 to Gangel (revealing a Crystal resistance), and 380 to Delta. As a result, Frevil’s multiplier increases to x12, Gangel’s increases to x3, and Delta reaches x2.

Remnant M then hits Delta with a Hell’s Spark for 2 damage, revealing a Flame resistance while TRBF unleashes Fanmade Hell’s Vengeance, dealing 1641 damage to Demon Fire, 776 to Beta, 388 to Frevil, 794 to Digamma, 1334 to Gangel, and 2002 to Delta. Multipliers begin to rise even higher as Demon Fire reaches x20, Beta x6, Digamma x9, Gangel x5, and Delta reaches x6. TRBF also Pesters Gangel into revealing his Empty weakness.

Nappa then Breaks Demon Fire’s Arm for 94 damage; Due to being maxed on Defense drops, though, he only suffers a 2-stage Attack drop.

This is fine. I am a trained fighter; This is nothing.

It is, in fact, not fine.

Bald? ...Wait, you mean my helmet? Actually, we happen to have hair under these; We just wear these too often for them to be seen.
And we never take them off in public because the helmet hair we get from this is insane.
Yeah, you really should’ve seen what I looked like when I first took mine off; I used to wear a purple helmet, and when I took it off back in 2020, my hair was all over the place! It took me the whole year to comb it into my iconic style!*

While Paradox Man creates 2 more Chronostones, Frevil notices the Umbral Crusher heading for his head... and catches it with his bare hand.

...You know, you coulda just ended it at “I don’t want to talk about it.”
So you say you’re a demon who tried to be a “master prankster”, only for it to not work out for you in the end. Interesting... But it still doesn’t answer why you have MY energy.
Honestly? I’m not even mad; If I’m really dead in this universe, at least there’d be someone to carry out the legacy of my power.

Full Release Devil pulls out his own Nightmare Blade.

I just wanted to satiate my curiosity. And if THIS is the way you’re going to act about it...

Frevil shatters the part of the Umbral Crusher that he was holding.

Then perhaps it is YOU who needs to go away.

Frevil then strikes Hellion Lady twice with the Nightmare Blade, dealing 2038 damage total and disabling her!

She’ll be fine; Believe me, if I wanted her dead, I’d do far worse than that. I was just teaching her some discipline.

After a moment’s pause, the fight resumes. Digamma Bolt strikes Duo with a Gigavolt Crash for 406 damage!

Afterwards, the Kamemehameha charge becomes held in one hand as Beta Shadow tries again to Drink Dr. Pepper, this time going for a Cream Soda Dr. Pepper... but in his blind state, he instead drinks an off-brand Nurse Salt again, which tasted terrible, causing him to spit the drink into Ghost of Stache’s face, lowering his stats! He then tries to fire an Element Ball at Swarm Man, and succeeds, dealing 207 damage just as the Blindness begins to subside.

Meanwhile, Demon Fire strikes Matomi with a Melting Point Punch, dealing 575 damage! Meanwhile, Gamma Angel launches a Holy Frostflare at everyone, hitting Alicia for 135 damage, Paradox Man for 141, all but one Chronostone for 120, Duo for 60, Worker for 22, Django for 54, Ghost of Stache for 48, TRBF for 127, RP-Dojo Shadow for 69, Cloud T for 100, Vegeta for 185, and Nappa for 69!

...Hmph. Rip-off.

...Of course, this leads Gangel susceptible to a Falling Blade from Dord, dealing 200 damage! Afterwards, Vegeta uses Worker as a projectile to hit Beta Shadow with an Ally Bomb, dealing 20 damage to both units while Dord sets up a Plasma Barrier and fires off another Hadal Smoker, dealing 118 damage to Demon Fire, 25 to Beta Shadow, 19 to Full Release Devil, 18 to Digamma Bolt, 119 to Gamma Jewel, 135 to Gamma Angel, and 180 to Delta Paradox.

Meanwhile, Swarm Man unleashes a Strength Drain on Beta Shadow, dealing 2 damage and sapping his stat buffs to recover 600 HP!

Cloud T proceeds to give an Energizing Jolt to Matomi while Delta Paradox charges up a Time Buster! Duo then attempts to use Energy Restoring to heal himself, but was out of WE, instead opting for a Buster Charge before unleashing a Galaxy Bomb SP on Gamma Jewel, which envelopes him for 265 damage! At the same time, Duo takes 77 damage from his Ablaze status while Beta Shadow is still harmed from the bomb from earlier, dealing 78 damage.

(Alright, this is starting to get ridiculous...)

Sarah uses Forest Attack on Digamma Bolt, but only deals 6 damage! Meanwhile, RP-Dojo Shadow T-Poses on Frevil, intimidating his Attack down by 2 stages!

“Intimidate”’s not the word I would use. This meme is from, what, 7 years ago? In accordance with modern meme culture, its relevance died ages ago.

Meanwhile, Alicia strikes Gangel with a Water Hammer, dealing 15 damage! This is then followed by a Nightmare Blade from Hellion Lady for 29 damage!

(Is that MY sword!? Ok, that’s it-)

Ghost of Stache uses Rend + Invert twice on Beta Shadow, dealing 38 damage and Confusing him. At the same time, AO Remnant M fires another Hell’s Spark, hitting Gangel for 3 damage.

Frevil calls out at Hellion Lady.

HEY! You, there, the dark purple one with the red pigtails! Who and/or what are you, exactly?

As Frevil awaits an answer, Gamma Jewel swings his Blade of Reflection again, this time at Ghost of Stache, dealing 13 damage! Said damage is then reflected onto Gamma Angel, dealing the same amount!

GAH! You miscreant, that was on purpose!
You can’t prove that.

A “Cheer” erupts from TRBF, dealing 53 damage to Demon Fire! This is followed by the preparation of a Fanmade Hell’s Vengeance as Worker uses Buster Charge.

...Well, I think I’ve have just about enough time in the sidelines.

Delta proceeds to teleport out of the spectator’s area and into the battlefield.

Let’s see if you can keep up!

Delta Paradox has joined the fight!

(Anemone and Matomi should have respawned at this point)

---

Demon Fire - Multiplier x16 (298/500)
Beta Shadow - Multiplier x4 (91/500)
Full Release Devil - Multiplier x11 (456/500)
Digamma Bolt - Multiplier x7 (161/500)
Gamma Jewel - Multiplier x7 (262/500)
Gamma Angel - Multiplier x2 (101/500)
Delta Paradox - Multiplier x1 (0/500)

Paradox Man spawns 2 more Chronostones while Worker grants Duo a Super Boost.

You guys are strong... But how about I knock one of you down a peg?

Full Release Devil uses Hell’s Chains to strict Matomi of her stat boosts! He then holds out three fingers on each hand, which proceeds to fire lasers from each one, which he uses to strike Duo for 106 damage, Alicia for 478, The Raid Boss Fan for 361, Matomi for 1064, “RP-Dojo Shadow” for 245, and Anemone for 1520, with both Matomi and Anemone down for the count!

Wow, neat move! What’s it called?
No idea; I’m still trying to come up with one.
I’m calling it Bevil and Emboss.
I refuse to let it be referred to as that nam-
Too late, already adding it to your character sheet as Bevil and Emboss.

Frevil grumbles. Meanwhile, Digamma Bolt rushes at Dord with a Gigavolt Crash, only to hit what appears to be an afterimage.

Huh? Where did he-

Digamma’s confusion is answered as Dord drops down from above with Falling Blade, dealing 600 damage!

Ouch! Alright, I’ll admit, you got me with that one.

Digamma’s Multiplier is increased to x7!

Meanwhile, Demon Fire strikes Duo with a Flare Shot, dealing 276 damage and setting him Ablaze for 3 turns. During this, Beta Shadow prepares a Kamemehameha!

And while on the topic of Dragon Ball, here comes Nappa!

Following up his Falling Blade assault, Dord unleashes two more Hadal Smokers, dealing 236 damage to Demon Fire, 66 to Beta Shadow, 38 to Frevil, 36 to Digamma Bolt, 695 to Gamma Jewel, and 540 to Gamma Angel! Gamma’s Multiplier increases to x4 while Gangel’s increases to x2!

Impressive technique... allow me to show you one of mine.

Gamma Angel rises into the air... before sprouting 3 pairs of angel wings made of pure light! The wings then proceed to rain laser beams upon the team (Wings of Hyperion), dealing 31 damage to Alicia, 40 to Swarm Man, 28 to all 3 persisting Chronostones, 21 to Duo, 5 to Worker, 13 to Django, 84 to Dord, 22 to TRBF, 23 to Cloud T, 162 to Hellion Lady, and 48 to TP-Dojo Shadow.

...Psh, not impressed.

Swarm Man unleashes a Locust Swarm, dealing 7 damage to Demon Fire, 6 to Beta, 3 to Frevil, 7 to Digamma, 25 to Gamma (who had a Nature resistance), and 17 to Gangel. Meanwhile, Cloud T grants Alicia an Energizing Jolt while Django summons Otenko.

Afterwards, as well as after a Buster Charge, Duo unloads a Cosmic Laser Mach-Gun on Gamma Jewel, landing 18 shots for a total of 1662 damage! Meanwhile, the Galaxy Bomb SP still keeps going, dealing 74 more damage to Beta Shadow; However, Duo also takes 77 damage from being set Ablaze earlier.

Gamma Jewel’s Multiplier increases to x7!

@QuintAnother : ...I didn't?



I did forget the Galaxy Bomb SP Beta was trapped in, though; I'll edit that in once I calculate damage.

Great, just what we needed; Two of him.
Actually, aren’t we all technically-
You know what I mean.

As Beta Shadow (Summon) prepares to fight himself, Matomi drinks from her Infini-Milkshake to recover 60 HP, then strikes Alpha Fire with a Frigid Cut for 2826 damage, increasing his multiplier to x15!

Well, if that’s how things are going to be, then time to turn up the heat!

Alpha Fire powers up to his Demon Sage form, becoming Demon Fire!

I believe I actually haven’t used this since Beta Diablo. Hopefully I’m not too rusty with it.

Meanwhile, Ghost of Stache prepares a PK Starstorm Ω, using his second AP to decrease the charge duration! Meanwhile, Anti-Omni Remnant M fires a Hell’s Spark at Gamma Jewel for a mere 5 damage while Raid Boss Fan strikes Frevil with a Multiplier Madness, dealing 28 damage!

Afterwards, Anemone activates her Tempest Eye, striking Digamma Bolt with a Wing Spiral for 10 damage before unleashing an Untainted Wind, dealing 27 damage to Demon Fire, 15 to Beta Shadow, 6 to Frevil, a critical 32 damage to Digamma Bolt, and a non-critical 44 damage to Gamma Jewel. She then proceeds to finish off with a Wind Overdrive, striking for 301 damage on Demon Fire, 184 on Beta, 38 on Frevil, 198 on Digamma, and 551 on Gamma.

As a result, Demon Fire’s Multiplier becomes x16, Digamma’s becomes x6, and Gamma’s becomes x2.

(Now I get it. It was just for a brief moment, but now I’m sure of it. That fairy girl has the same energy as that Anti-Devil stuff Rhys thinks can counteract me.)
(It kinda does though.)
(No it doesn- Get the hell out of my internal monologue!)
(So, what about that other girl? ...Everything about her energy makes me think it’s...)
(...But by all means, that should be IMPOSSIBLE. And yet, that phantom of this world’s past... Could she truly have-)

Suddenly, another figure warps in.

Greetings. I haven’t missed the training session, have I?
Aaaaand there goes my train of thought. Figures it’d come from yet another thing that irks me so.
You and me both, pal; Who even invited this four-eyed clown?
I believe it was Omega who invited him... Which, reminds me: Where even is he? He was with you, wasn’t he?
Indeed, he has initially accompanied me. However, he said that he wanted to take a moment to prepare himself further, so he will be running rather late.
Well, at least he isn’t going to be a no-show.
In any case... Shall we resume?

Gamma Angel has joined the fight!

---

Demon Fire - Multiplier x16 (2/500)
Beta Shadow - Multiplier x3 (459/500)
Full Release Devil - Multiplier x11 (415/500)
Digamma Bolt - Multiplier x6 (12/500)
Gamma Jewel - Multiplier x2 (380/500)
Gamma Angel - Multiplier x1 (0/500)

As Worker weakened Gamma Jewel with a Super Break (which will not go into any damage calculations this round because I forgot this had priority and I’m not recalculating damage), Full Release Devil raises his stats again with Hell’s Bells before charging an Anti-Omni Buster.

Meanwhile, Beta Shadow goes to Drink a Dr. Pepper, but ends up drinking from a bottle of Chloroform that has a Dr. Pepper lid on it, causing him to collapse on the ground... But he does get a 2-stat boost on all of his stats.

Why do you even still have that?

A muffled answer comes from Beta Shadow.

Alpha Fire proceeds to use Attack Burn on Swarm Man, lowering his Attack by 2 stages! During this, Vegeta Slacks Off to recover 250 HP while Digamma Bolt charges an Electric Buster.

Swarm Man proceeds to sap away Full Release Devil’s stat buffs- including the ones he just gave himself- with Strength Drain, healing 600 HP... but only dealing 1 damage in the process.

...I kinda just set myself up for that, didn’t I?
Yeah, you kinda did.

As Cloud T also Slacks Off, Django calls upon Sol-Healing to restore a little bit of everyone’s health!

After this, Dord strikes Frevil with an Iridescent Singularity that deals 17 damage, then follows up with two Hadal Smokers, causing geysers of water to erupt from every which way, dealing 470 damage to Alpha Fire, 94 damage to Beta Shadow, 20 damage to Full Release Devil, 250 damage to Digamma Bolt (who had a Water resistance), and 280 damage to Gamma Jewel!

Wow, these guys can sure land a hit.

Alpha Fire’s Multiplier reaches x9, while Digamma Bolt’s reaches x2!

Not paying attention, Digamma Bolt gets sidelined by Duo’s Superlaser, which The Raid Boss Fan jumps in the way of with Heroic Dive, causing the attack to deal 1688 damage and raising Digamma’s Multiplier even further to x5!

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Bomb SP around Beta Shadow continues dealing damage, this time being 52 damage.

Ouch.

Sarah Oasis Vampire Bites Frevil, but only deals 2 damage and recovers 1 HP.

This’ll getcha!

Gamma Jewel swings his Blade of Reflection at Dord, but misses.

SQUAWK!

Alicia proceeds to strike Full Release Devil with a Water Hammer, only to deal 3 damage!

Gee, did I just feel a drizzle?

Meanwhile, Paradox Man (who already recovered) heals everyone even further with Energy Support EX, before regaining WE with Buster Charge. Meanwhile, Hellion Lady strikes Frevil with a Boost Punisher for 11 damage, finding a Level resistance in the process!

(Alright, now that she’s so close, I know there’s something familiar about her energy. It’s so on the tip of my tongue, it’s driving me crazy!)

Matomi proceeds to open up a Dr. Pepper, which perks Beta Shadow up.

Oh hey, that’s some good taste you ha-

Suddenly, another entity warps in.

Thou hast summoned me with thine sacred drink. Whomst shall I-

The other Beta Shadow powers down upon spotting his other self.

Ayo?

Thankfully, the Chronostones gave their APs before they turned to dust... (Note to Quint: The last remaining Chronostone is one that gives an additional AP to Paradox Man.)

Duo uses Buster Charge, and prepares to use Duo Superlaser... but he still did not have enough WE! So, he uses another Buster Charge to earn full WE, and then charges the Superlaser! ...But due to running out of APs, he will have to fire it on the next turn.

The Galaxy Bomb from last turn strikes again, dealing 78 damage to Beta Shadow! This is followed by a Mystic Fog from Sarah, dealing 30 damage and Blinding him for 3 turns.

Dang; The kind of blindness that cool shades do not prevent.

Alicia uses Water Breath again on Full Release Devil, but only manages to deal 3 damage.

Nice try, but you’ll need to do better than that!

As Paradox Man is recovering from earlier’s thunderstorm, Hellion Lady calls upon Hell’s Call to summon Anti-Omni Remnant M!

...
What the-? (That energy... Is that- ...No. No, surely, it can’t be...)

Sorry for running late, we-

Disarge and the others arrive in the Spectator’s area, with Disarge looking at his Remnant counterpart.

...Should I be concerned with that?
Eh, it’s only concerning if you make it concerning.

As Alpha Fire unleashes an Element Ball that strikes Duo for 230 damage, Matomi prepares another Critical Charge.

Suddenly, as Raid Boss Fan is recovering much like P. Man has, a powerful burst of energy barrels towards Beta Shadow, the “Duo” Superlaser striking for 344 damage! The entity that fired the beam then reveals itself as Ghost of Stache follows up the attack with a Rend + Invert, dealing 20 damage!

Beta Shadow’s multiplier increases to x3!

Anemone proceeds to fire a Signal Flash at Digamma Bolt, dealing 56 damage! Meanwhile, Worker Works Hard 4 times in a row, gaining 2000 Zenny! Having an additional AP that seems to have been miscounted, he uses it to recover WE with Buster Charge.

Suddenly, a crystalized fist rushes directly at Dord... only to just barely miss!

Dang it! *Sigh* So much for a dramatic entrance...

Suddenly, two other figures appear.

SQUAWK! it, Gamma! I told you to wait until we actually got here!
What, and let these nerds have all the fun? No, thank you!
We’re right here, you know.
Whatever; I’m here now, so now the party’s REALLY started!

Gamma Jewel joins the fight!

Alpha Fire - Multiplier x8 (206/500)

Paradox Man summons 3 more Chronostones, while Matomi hits Beta Devil hard with a Spark Blitz, dealing 4238 damage!

Heh... You hit hard. I can respect that. So how about I return the favor?

Beta Devil’s Multiplier skyrockets to x9 as he unleashes Hell’s Thunderfall, dealing 1474 damage to Paradox Man, 1254 damage to all but one Chronostone, 1045 damage to Matomi, 482 damage to Vegeta, 1791 damage to Swarm Man, 1045 damage to Cloud T, 565 damage to Django, 1254 damage to Duo, 871 damage to Sarah Oasis, 1409 damage to Alicia, 803 damage to Hellion Lady, 1003 damage to Ghost of Stache, 1062 damage to The Raid Boss Fan, 1119 damage to Anemone, and 676 damage to Worker, with Dord avoiding the attack. P. Man and TRBF fall to the ground as the electrical storm subsides, with Chronostone dust scattering like winter snow.

HAH! How’d you like that?
A little harsh, don’t you think?
Oh, they’re fine. Besides, we said right from the start we wouldn’t hold back; If they can’t handle THIS, then they should back down before we get TRULY serious.

Beta Shadow rolls his eyes, then focuses on the last remaining Chronostone, pulling out an Obsidian-Tipped Diamond Sword and striking it, dealing 96 damage and setting it Ablaze.

Wait, you still use Diamond? You should catch up with the times, man; Netherite is the top material.
I know, but it was hard enough infusing this thing with an Obsidian tip. Let alone the enchantments- Do you have ANY idea how hard it was to find the kind of enchantments* this thing has?
Forget Diamond or Netherite; Don’t you have that Ancient Shaggy Blade?**
The last person who had that was Donkey Kong, and he sent it back to wherever in the Absurd Roleplay it was***; So unless I want to trek through that void of a wasteland to go get it, I’m left with this Diamond Sword until I find a new one.

Vegeta proceeds to yeet Dord at Beta Shadow, who narrowly avoids the attack! As Dord continues to fly through the air, Digamma Bolt strikes with an Element Blade, ceasing the flight and dealing 53 damage in the process!

What’s wrong, two-shoes? No comment on how unfairly he’s treating his own teammate, especially after an attack like mine?
Something tells me he’s not the kind of person to care about that sort-of thing.

Swarm Man unleashes a Charged Storm Tornado on Alpha Fire for 48 damage, then follows up with a non-charged one on Bevil for 4 damage. Afterwards, Cloud T bolsters his team’s Speed with a Hurry-Gale

Django switches targets to Alpha Fire, firing a Sol-Freeze at him for 122 damage, discovering his Freeze weakness in the process.

Recovering from earlier, Dord rushes at Beta Devil with a hefty round of Strobe Strikers, landing a whopping 348 hits for a total of 749 damage! He then uses ω Circuit Siphon twice, draining 532 HP for 266 WE, raising Bevil's multiplier to x11!

Heh... You know what? If you’re going to go all-out on me... I might as well repay the favor in fold!

Suddenly, Beta Devil powers up... and activates Berserk Instinct, becoming Full Release Devil!

Let’s see if you have what it takes to do any harm to Immovable Berserk Instinct!

***Reference: Chaos Zone, Part III, Page 51, Post #19; Also see Pages 1-20 of this roleplay.

Alicia uses Water Breath on Beta Devil, dealing 31 damage.

(Please don’t tell me we’re going to have THIS conversation again.)
Alright, I’m going to explain this to you in a way you can’t possibly misunderstand:
I am NOT a robot. THESE TWO are not robots. NONE of us are robots. We are very much made of flesh, blood, and bone. We. Are. HUMANS.
...Actually, scratch that; Those guys are humans. I am a 100% certified demon.
Believe me when I say, there has been ENOUGH of us being mistaken as robots back in 2018. We do NOT need to go through this again.

Hellion Lady strikes Alpha Fire with an Abyssal Twister + for 32 damage while Anemone uses Psyche Up to copy Alpha’s Debuffs... and nothing else because 5 attack debuffs and 4 attack buffs still leaves 1 debuff.

Matomi prepares a Critical Charge.

Well, the attack was initially intended to wipe out everything. However, he mucked it up- in classic Beta Devil fashion- and there were quite a few survivors.
You’ve actually been fighting alongside a few of these survivors; Reggae, Dord, Stache... They’ve all been fighting for the approval of Beta Supremo to get that world back.
Actually, some of us were- and for at least one of us, still are- not as “alive” as we appeared to be.
In any case, Beta Supremo said that he did restore that world recently... And I’d say he’s right, considering we’re in that EXACT universe right now.

Alpha Fire launches a Flare Shot at TRBF, dealing 249 damage and inflicting him with Ablaze for 3 turns.

Ghost of Stache uses PK Offense Up to raise his and Duo’s attack by 3 stages, and then- since he has no other means of turbo-charging the attack (to my knowledge)- simply prepares a Duo Superlaser to be fired on the next turn.

Which works out well, since TRBF’s additional movements from the Coffee have already passed. So, his moves are instead limited to Fanmade Hyper Data Replication - creating Junk Data off of Duo Superlaser, PK Starstorm a, and Divine Shinedown- and a Fanmade Final Cutter on himself, storing his current (and obscene) boosts for a future moment in time.



...Huh. Now that you mention it, he does seem to be acting rather weirdly... And not his usual kind of weirdness, either.



Well, I think it’s an improvement for him.

Worker saps 1100 of Paradox Man’s HP to gain 2200 Zenny, then uses Work Hard to gain 500 more Zenny. Afterwards, he uses Secret Shop to create a Reggae Link and open up his shop. (Which I will allow for players to access until I post the next turn, if they so wish.)

Oh, come on. Are you seriously going to make me work on my time off?
Oh! If you’re going to be selling, can I get a Large Pepperoni Pizza?
I don’t think Raid Bosses are supposed to be able to use Pizza items in a raid.
Never said it was for the raid.

Pizza talk aside, it’s MY turn now! Give me your best shot!

Digamma Bolt has joined the fight!

---

Alpha Fire - Multiplier x8 (36/500)
Beta Shadow - Multiplier x2 (142/500)
Beta Devil - Multiplier x1 (266/500)
Digamma Bolt - Multiplier x1 (0/500)

Paradox Man spawns 3 more Chronostones; Unfortunately, he seems to have underestimated just how much WE that consumes and ran just short for the other 2, so he instead opts for a Buster Charge to replenish his WE.

Matomi puts up a Razor Guard while Worker fires a Zenny Cannon + at Alpha Fire, firing 200 Zenny for a total of 600 damage.

Alpha Fire’s multiplier increases to x8!

That sure are a lot of rocks... Maybe I should try to reduce these numbers.

Beta Shadow unleashes a Shadow Rain, dealing 30 damage to Paradox Man, 26 damage to four of the Chronostones, 11 damage to Matomi, 9 damage to Worker, 40 damage to Vegeta, 11 damage to Cloud T, 37 damage to Swarm Man, 39 damage to Duo, 54 damage to Sarah Oasis, 17 damage to Hellion Lady, 32 damage to Anemone, 21 damage to Ghost of Stache, and 16 damage to The Raid Boss Fan. They are also inflicted with Soaked for 3 turns, causing Electric attacks to deal x1.5 damage as well as attracting 25% of all Electric damage dealt on their side of the field. Django, Dord, Alicia, and one of the Chronostones manage to avoid this fate.

Despite the dark rain that poured on him (and soaking him even more than he was already), Vegeta Slacks Off, recovering all of the HP that he has just recently lost. Meanwhile, Beta Devil simply raises his stats with a Hell’s Bells.

Swarm Man strikes Beta Shadow with a Fire Storm, dealing a mere 3 damage while Cloud T’s Energizing Jolt grants him an additional move on the next turn.

Django fires a Gun Del Sol at Beta Shadow for 18 damage.

...You, uh, might want to read this more closely...



Duo fires off two Galaxy Bomb SPs at the Betas, but as Beta Shadow is caught in the bomb’s pull (dealing 78 damage), Beta Devil manages to avoid the vortex aimed at him.

Yeah, that’s more like it.

Sarah proceeds to hit Beta Shadow with a Jewelry Blast, dealing 42 damage. Crystal weakness discovered!

Laser-focused on Bevil, Dord’s Blazing Wings flare up as he strikes 8 times with a Strobe Striker for 189 damage, finding his Damage resistance in the process. He then siphons 46 of his HP to recover 23 of his WE.

Sheesh, what’s his deal? ...Come to think of it, a lot of these guys are on-edge...
...Hey, you. Malagor.
Magalor.
Right, that’s what I said. You said I destroyed this world, right? What do you mean by that, exactly?
Well, if Beta Shadow told Beta Supremo’s story correctly, you managed to re-unlock your “Beta Diablo” form* and combined it with your Ikari state** to turn into a new form that you called “Beta Satan”. You then used it to destroy the entire Chaos Zone... at least in this timeline.***
Is that so...?
Don’t even think about it. Even if we did know how you re-unlocked Beta Diablo, we sure as hell wouldn’t tell you.
Oh, fine. Besides, whatever Beta X did to me to remove that power, I wouldn’t even know where to begin to get that power back, anyways.

Right. My turn.

The cloaked figure steps onto the field, preparing to take off said cloak.

Hang on a second, there. You sure you want to do that?
What, you think I should try to fight with this thing still on?
I’d say I’d recommend doing that, but it’s more like I’d recommend not taking that off. I don’t think people will take kindly to knowing who you really are.
I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to get stronger.

Beta Shadow shrugs.

Your funeral.

Right. Now, then...

The figure takes off the cloak...

Let’s get started, shall we?

Beta Devil has joined the fight!

Alpha Fire - Multiplier x6 (404/500)
Beta Shadow - Multiplier x2 (1/500)
Beta Devil - Multiplier x1 (0/500)

To kick off the battle, Paradox Man uses Chronoforce to summon two Chronostones, which gives AP to Duo and Worker, the latter of which uses a Super Boost + to max his own stats, then Super Break + to minimize Alpha Fire’s!

Not a bad start!

Beta Shadow unleashes a Tornado of Darkness on Sarah Oasis, striking twice for 161 damage! The storm marches forward as Cloud T hovers over the two Beta Team members, striking with a Clashing Thunderers that misses Alpha, but hits Beta Shadow for 66 damage!

Meanwhile, as Swarm Man charges a Wind Buster, Duo unleashes a powerful Superlaser on Alpha Fire, which is intercepted by The Raid Boss Fan’s Heroic Dive! ...Which only turns him into an even stronger projectile, dealing 2826 damage! Sarah joins in with a Sand Twister, landing 3 blows for 379 damage!

(These guys are good... No wonder Beta suggested them as sparring partners.)

Duo’s Superlaser (combined with the Heroic Dive) increased Alpha’s Multiplier to x5, while the Sand Twister makes the push to x6!

Alpha’s given no time to rest, however, as Alicia pummels him with a Water Hammer for 81 damage! Water weakness discovered!

Meanwhile, Hellion Lady invokes a Dark Pentagram...

(Hm... something about that girl intrigues me...)

...while Anemone smites Beta Shadow with 14 whole hits of Divine Shinedown, dealing 260 damage! Light weakness discovered!

(...Then on the opposite side of the spectrum, that girl irks me for some reason.)
Wait, since when were you weak to light?
Well, I figured if I had to have a weakness for this sort-of thing, why not go with the opposite of darkness?
You are literally the least dark Darkness user to have ever existed.
I mean, I won’t argue with that, but at the same time, I’ve grown too attached to the name “Beta Shadow” to rebrand.

Matomi consumes a whole-SQUAWK! Large Bacon Pizza and drinks a Small Fruit Juice before going into Divide Stance.

...Wow. Color me impressed.
Don’t even think of trying that yourself after this.
I shall make no such promises.

Alpha Fire uses Attack Blaze, boosting his Attack by 4 stages!

Ghost of Stache creates a Psychonic Link with Duo, then unleashes a PK Starstorm a, dealing 31 damage to Alpha Fire and 14 damage to Beta Shadow before handing Raid Boss Fan an entire Large Mushroom Pizza that is somehow stuffed with a Large Coffee, cup and all.

(That’s one soggy pizza.)

As Beta Shadow gains a x2 Multiplier, TRBF, fueled by caffeine and pizza, Pesters the two members of Beta Team, discovering a Explode and Nature resistance from Alpha Fire and a Flame resistance from Beta Shadow, with the fourth Pester “missing” (for lack of a better term).

Reggae pulls out one of the colas and opens it.

Besides, you know the rules: So long as Beta Shadow's the raid boss, we can't participate... Literally, in this case.

We'll start small just as a warm-up; Me and Alpha will be your opponents while the others will join in as we go further along.

Beta and Alpha gets into a fighting position.

Hope you're ready, because we don't plan on holding anything back!

Gimmick for this Raid Boss

For this raid boss, members of the Beta Team (and their affiliates) will hop in as the days pass, with one new member joining every day (in order of their associated letter of the Greek alphabet) until the last member has joined. (As an extra step ahead, both Alpha Fire and Beta Shadow will be the first ones in.)

Additionally, every member of Beta Team will have their own SEPARATE Multiplier that will increase every 500 damage.

Finally, should a member of Beta Team reach a x10 multiplier... That's when they start to get serious.

RAID START!

...Yes...?
...Right... For your sake, I'm just going to pretend to not have seen that flashback sequence.
Well, we're going to have to discuss this later; I'm pretty sure everyone else has already beaten us to the Rocky Plateau at this point, so let's go ahead and teleport there.

The five robots teleport to Rocky Plateau... unaware of the portal opening right after they leave, with 4 figures entering through it.

Alright, listen up. You all know your mission... and you all know the punishment for not fulfilling your contract. Now, get moving!

All of Beta Team lands.

...Right. We're finally here.

Beta Shadow proceeds to stretch his arms some. Meanwhile, Reggae and Banetem lands as well.



Reggae rummages through a bag of sorts.

I've got some popcorn, some large pizzas, some leftover Valentine's Day candy, a few cans of cola, some-

Reggae looks up to a confused Banetem.

...What?



This is for the training session. More specifically, for watching it.



Ah, we don't need it. We're good enough without it!

Meanwhile, Harmonica, Disarge, Jazz Hunter, and Ninja Man Psi prepare to head their way over, when suddenly...

Wait! I would like to speak with you on something important!

Nitron P approaches the group.

Speak with us for what, a new promotional deal?
Wh-what!? How did you know this was a-

The group raise their eyebrows.

...I-I mean... No, nothing like that at all!
Seeing you guys fight all this time has really inspired me! I don't want to be just a salesman anymore. I want to join you guys on the field of battle as a true hero!
...Really. You want to join us as a hero?
...

Nitron P enters the office.

You called for me, sir?
Ahh, NP! How's my #1 Favorite Salesman doing this fine Monday?
Well, it's- wait, I'm your favorite?
Hahahahahahahaha! Oh, but NP, of course you are!
...not. I only say that because positivity increases productivity. Now, enough small talk. I believe it is time we talk about are most recent hit TV show...

Primetime Gemini presses a button on his desk, and suddenly a screen pops up... displaying the Take the Crown logo.

Ah, yes, the show. It's been doing wonderfully so far; The team just started editing the Season 1 finale, and fans have been on the edge of their seat over Part 1 of Burning Desi-
That's great, but that's not what I was talking to you about; If I wanted to talk about PRODUCTION, then I would've called in Editor Pepe**.
No. I called you in here... to talk about SALES.

Nitron P gulps.

I-I can explain, sir-
So can I. And since I am your boss, I will.

Primetime Gemini presses another button; This time showing... merchandising charts?

As you can see here, this is how much money we've been earning from Take the Crown merchandise in Gemini Entertainment stores everywhere.
Oh... Whew, I thought I was in trouble for a moment- That's actually not bad-
"Not bad" is not good enough, Mr. Pricetag.
Actually, sir, the "P" stands for pur-
We need someone to help boost the sales of our merchandise. It doesn't help that most of the income comes from the store's "#1 Customer".

At the push of another button, a picture of The Raid Boss Fan is shown, buying a bunch of raid boss merchandise.

We need a face that represents the Gemini brand. Someone that just SCREAMS Gemini Entertainment! Someone so spectacular, fans from all over the globe- EVERY glove- will march straight for the Gemini Entertainment stores and buy every Take the Crown merchandise on the wall, and the wall itself!
...Unfortunately, I run too many shows, movies, and radio stations to afford to have my beautiful self scuffed up every month. So, I'm just going to have you do it instead.
Me? But, sir, I don't know how to figh-
Don't worry your pretty little head-that-is-also-your-entire-body. You're a sharp salesman; I'm sure you'll figure something out.
