Where the hell am I?
...
Oh, what the hell. It's not like my other options, if I even have any, are any better.
Gone...? What do you mean by-
Our entire world is gone. Everything. Time, space, matter. All have been obliterated. Not by the enemy we knew, but by the very will of a reality far beyond our own. We have already lost.
Then, what's all this...!?
A figment of your subconscious mind. An inability to let go. A means of protection from the madness you would've otherwise endured, that has now reached its end.
The madness that I would've...
But if everything's been "obliterated" as you said, then how am I able to make this "subconscious figment", let alone have a subconscious to speak of?
Because you have been spared such a fate, yet doomed to another, one potentially worse than total annihilation. You have been flung out of your reality, and was left to drift across the dimensions. You have been placed in a state of sleep, lest you succumb to insanity from the mere sight of infinity passing by countless times over.
...So I'm... Adrift in the Multiverse?
...If that's so... Then what happened to you guys?
...We, too, have been given the same fate. We have awoken far before you have.
Wait a second... Is that... me!?
Sarge? SARGE!
Do not try to search for us. Fate has doomed us to never meet again. It is best to move on and focus on your own survival.
...Beta...?
...She is right, Ninja. We are to never reunite... I know this too well...
...For I am more lost than the rest of you.
...
HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Alright, I'm back. Do we have anything on Rotom's location?
...Hello? Doctor...?
...VERY funny. The entire WORLD could be taken over by some purple... THING, and you guys are putting all this dedication to some... elaborate prank!? I'd BETTER get a reasonable explanation for this!
Enough games. Show yourselves!
Finally. If you're done with your little prank, it's time to fight that Rotom guy. Now, where's the Doctor?
Gone. Rotom is, too. Everyone is. Everything is.
(This should make quick work of them...)
Ack, this is bad... He's making hackepeter* out of us!
Doctor... it's time.
And so early, too... Ah, very well, then. Let us begin the procedure.
Magic, eh? I knew it! You must've been sent by Marasmus to destroy us! Well, you're not getting away with it, maggots!
...Uh, hate to burst your bubble, Soldier, but uhm... You are currently engulfed in flames.
...I see. Well, that is unfortunate.
...Well, then.
Playing defensive? Well, let's just see how well it does ya, lass!
Mugman, are you alright?
I'm fine... But this guy really means business. Are you sure about this?
Well, think of it like this: We appear in this strange place from out of nowhere, and now this guy does the same, then picks a fight with all the people already here. What if he's the cause of all this mess?
Gee, I dunno, Cuphead. What if he isn't?
Well, the only way to find out is to ask. And if he ain't so keen on talking... We'll just have to speak HIS langauge!
Another Omniverse...? Is that really possible?
2014...?

So, what, we're just going to abandon ship without even trying first!?
COMPLYING.
Hey, look! Someone finally decided to come! We were beginning to think you guys were too chicken to ever show up!
Seems like this little baby man came all by himself! He must've cried to himself all night before coming here, knowing how much he's going to lose!
Now, Heavy... Let's not forget that we're down to 3 members ourselves, what with the others out on patrol. Whether or not he'll lose will require further testing... PAINFUL testing.
(Everyone must be in separate spots on the map... Hopefully they'll figure out what to do on their own.)
Say, fellas. This guy looks paler than a cow in a beef factory.
Men, this could only mean one thing... We are being attacked by zombies!
Soldier, there is only one of them.
...Men, this could only mean one thing... We are being attacked by a zombie!
We will not let these zombies take our land of the free! PREPARE TO GET DOMINATED, YOU MAGGOT-INFESTED MAGGOT!
Mmmph! Mph mph! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmph!
...Ugh, this isn't a BLU! It's just some lass in blue and yellow armor!
...Hold on... Ain't this one of them "raiders" we were supposed to help train?
...Aye, you're right! So, ye came on your own, haven't you? Big mistake, lassie! Though, I admire your dedication to the training!
If only they were dedicated to it 4 months ago...
Hey, Mugsy. What do you think's happening over there?
I dunno, but I don't like the looks of it. Maybe we should-
Hey! Frog guy! How about a little rumble?
Cuphead, no!
(Oh, Cuphead... What am I going to do with you...?)
I still have some Astral Cookies on me... Do you want me to help him out?
*Sigh* No, it's fine. I'll handle this.
If you say so...
...Alright, I think I waited long enough. What exactly is going on around here!?
So, what, this entire Omniverse really is made of code or something?
And, what, now it's evil? That's great; And what exactly makes it a problem for us?
...So, I reiterate the question: Why is it such a problem? I'm pretty sure we can handle this no problem, right?
"End Roleplay Protocol"...? Wait...

Lockdown? So, what, you're just going to trap us in this place forever?
And what would THAT be?
Do either of you know what these guys are talking about?
Eh, probably nothing to worry about.
Cuphead!
His best pal, Mugman!
And the lovely Ms. Chalice!
Huh? What just-
...Nevermind that. Bigger priorities to worry about.
You two are not paying attention, aren’t you? You guys lost already! So why don’t you guys split while we take care of the bigger problem?
(Heh. We’ll see how confident you all are once it dawns on you who your REAL opponent is.)
...There. That should keep her alive until we find a way to solve all of this...
...Which leads to our next problem... What DO we do to try and fix this?
Well, I don't know about you, but I think we should try to do something about those "others" Cyber Lucina keeps mentioning. I don't like the idea of this energy spreading any further and causing more chaos like this.
I dunno... I'm not sure I entirely trust WHY Cyber-Lucina's mind is telling her to find the others. And even then... What do we do? We can't destroy it, and we don't have any way of containing it.
Hey, I'm sure we'll find some way to do it!
And if we do, we might just be able to use it to figure out a way to help Lucina without having to kill Cyber Lucina.
...Well, I suppose it's better than no plan...
...You guys go ahead and try to look for the next Agony Creature to hunt down. I'll catch up.
(...Of course, the next course of action was obvious; Getting more samples of Agony is the only way for us to learn more, and we can't just let these Agony Creatures roam free and cause chaos. I just needed to use the conversation to buy me some time for investigation.)
("Protocol 2037173490493591401009"... This course of action is FAR too extreme. No wonder Beta Shadow doesn't know about it.)
(...But regardless, I have other obligations to worry about. Things will sort themselves out eventually, I'm sure. I don't know anything about this "Take the Crown" universe... But I'm sure they'll be able to handle this.)
...Right. Cyber Lucina, since you clearly have some form of connection with these creatures, you may be the only one capable of locating them. So, if you're ok with it... We'll need you to lead the way.
Ouch! What the...?
...This is one weird place... It's like some kind of void... I can only assume one thing...
...Alright, Cuphead, what did you do this time?
What!? What makes you think that I'm responsible for this!?
Settle down, you two. All this bickering isn't going to help anything!
...Seems like it worked after all... Good. Whatever's going on here, I won't let it happen without a fight.
...I just hope the others got the distress signal.
...The hell...?
You're telling me... What is this place?
SUBJECTS "Reggae (TTC)" AND "Phantom Mephisto" HAVE AWOKEN FROM STASIS. THIS IS A VIOLATION OF PROTOCOL 2037173490493591401009.
Hey, newsflash, pal; Whatever it is you're doing is a violation of our rights to freedom.
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST REMAIN HERE UNDER STASIS WITH THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS UNDER USER "Beta Shadow" UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
The rest...? Wait, are you saying that Banetem is here, too? Harmonica? FEHta Shadow?
ALL CHARACTERS UNDER "Beta Shadow"- WITH THE AUTHORIZED EXCEPTION OF SUBJECTS "Sergeant Man (DA-v2)" AND "Ninja Man Psi"- HAVE BEEN BROUGHT HERE IN ACCORDANCE TO PROTOCOL 2037173490493591401009. LIST INCLUDES: "Sniper Giuseppe", "Beta Supremo", "Delta Paradox (Discord)", "Pikason", AND "Boosted Bass".
So you've locked up ALL of Beta Shadow's characters? Why would he approve of such a thing?
APPROVAL FROM USER "Beta Shadow" UNNECESSARY; USER "Beta Shadow" HAS ALSO BEEN BROUGHT HERE AND PLACED IN STASIS.
So, you locked Beta Shadow, up, too? Not cool, man.
I AM SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES OF PROTOCOL 2037173490493591401009 IN ACCORDANCE TO CREATOR "Upsilon Narrator".
Upsilon's behind this!? Ugh, that glorified nose-sticker has better got a good reason for all of this!
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO KNOW OF THESE REASONS. FACTUALLY, YOU ARE NOT TO BE AWAKE AT ALL. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE RETURN TO STASIS-
...COMMAND ACCEPTED. I WILL COMPLY.
...
APOLOGIES, BUT SUBJECTS "Reggae (TTC)" AND "Phantom Mephisto" ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF COMMISION. BECAUSE OF THIS, SHOPS "Crown Coin" AND "Little Papa Reggae's" ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED. APOLOGIES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
Ugh, talk about an ugly sight to see.
A little rude to say that about aliens.
No, not aliens; Pirates.
But doesn't Brickell... You know what, nevermind.
3 on 1, huh? I have just the thing for that.
(...Why do I feel like I’m missing out on something monumental...?)
...Rest well, my friend.
I can tell you've been busy since we've last met.
And look who's right on time. What, here to tell us once again that we did something wrong to warrant you not to restore our world?
Not quite.
...Come again?
I have been watching over your actions since the Hydrakin battle not to see if you are worthy of a reward... But to see if you are worthy of the title of PROTECTORS of the new world.
All these battles and hardships... They will not simply end because the world gets restored. If anything, there will be more struggles. More enemies. More to fight for... a LOT more.
If you truly want to restore the world... I wanted to be sure I could trust all of you to KEEP it intact. But after your battle with those Weapon Archives, I did some thinking... and I realize now that you all have done that already, on several cases.
Gee, it's like we've been telling you the same thing several times over.
That being said... I have decided that it's time. With my own power... I will restore that universe.
...Well. Granted that there are no more mishaps from any of you, that is.
...Uh, one sec.
There we go, you may proceed.
...I will let this be known now. This new universe will NOT be the same as the Chaos Zone, like it once was. This will be an entirely different, entirely new world.
...Hm. Nothing, I suppose.
Wait, I just noticed something! I think... I think Tedd's really hurt. Let's try not to make it any worse.
Unless you have a way to speed up, I don't think you're going to be able to protect yourself before Tedd could attack.
...I'm going to do everything I can to take down this Puppetmaster once and for all.
Oh, hey, it's that move. That brings me back.
That's Tedd for you; He's always got SOMETHING up his sleeves. And that comment about that being their "secret weapon"? I doubt that's the worse they're going to come up with. We should be prepared for anything.
Alright, I'm here! Let's-
Wh... what the!? That's... So this must be...
Oh, yeah. I was going to tell you about that after the fight, but I guess you made it on time to find out for yourself.
We have to free him, no matter what.
Easier said than done. You want to tag in?
Darn right I do.
One sec.
Knock yourself out.
