WepArc Trio then retaliates with an Evil Aura of his own, dealing 53 damage to Trio; despite dealing far less damage, the damage combined with that he took from earlier hits is enough to knock Trio down for the round. Knowing this, WepArc Trio turns to WepArc Tyr.

...For the record, your help was never required.
...Don’t fool yourself. I was merely looking out for myself; ”Helping” ANY of you was NEVER my intention, and all of you would be wise to not, as they say, “get it twisted”.
Believe me, “pal”; If it weren’t for our programming, I wouldn’t want to work with ANY of you.
That’d make TWO of us.

As the three WepArcs continue to bicker amongst themselves, Alice- seeing as WepArc Queen is already dealt with, proceeds to use her Sword Slices on WepArc Zomboss instead, dealing a total 53 damage.

Speaking of, as the Bell of Declaration rings out another Tough Law while the Pole Vaulting Zombie throws some Pole Javelins at Kris for 15 damage, WepArc Quartet whispers to WepArc Zomboss to pass along a Charge Module to WepArc Lych, who equips it.

...And that’s all the things my TRUE self would rather do than ally myself with the entire lot of you. But in any case, it’s official; The more these guys persist, the more annoyingly challenging they become.
Then perhaps it is time for us to stop holding back.
Wait, seriously? YES! Time to finally let loose!
Do you hear us, invaders? The time has come for us to end this battle.
Aww, seriously? I just started to have fun!
Oh, believe me, this will be fun... Just not for them.
Devastate! Incinerate! BURN!!!
Then, it’s agreed...
Time to initiate Phase 3.

Suddenly, the WepArcs projecting the past raid bosses stop projecting them, and instead plug themselves into the seven WepArc-shaped holes that suddenly appeared in the walls.

---

Nononononononononono-!
Oh, goodie. ANOTHER thing you forgot to mention.
I did not forget! Even if I did forget those last few things- Which I am not admitting to- I do remember this! I just didn’t mention it because they aren’t supposed to USE Phase 3 in defense!



...Phase 3 is when they take the power of the strongest data they copied... And boost their strength immensely. They seem to only be doing it for those “Raid Bosses”... But regardless, now they’ll be even MORE of a challenge to deal with.

This is followed by a Pierce Bomb from WepArc Bomberman, striking Dord for 15 damage while his Bomber Bomb goes off... Missing Joker because he’s already disabled and instead dealing 17 damage to WepArc Zomboss and forcing the Pole Vaulting Zombie to use it’s special leap-over-first-attack ability on friendly fire rather than an actual attack from the opposing team, rewarding WepArc Bomberman with a scowl from the undead scientist.

Meanwhile, Stache successfully lands his Psionic Rift on WepArc Lapley, WepArc Mega T, and WepArc Tyr. But just as he was about to do the same to WepArc Quartet, he is smacked on the back of the head by WepArc Ness’s Baseball Bat for 14 damage, causing the rift to miss WepArc Quartet!

As WepArc Takuto protects himself with a Shield Tendril, WepArc Queen continues to ponder about Kris slashing at her, then comes up with a thought.

Wait
Oh No Kris I Wasn’t Aiming It At You Yet

WepArc Queen proceeds to aim the BIG SHOT at Berdly and blasts him for 5 damage, though still somehow manages to fling him a good distance away before proceeding with regal laughter.

I Was Aiming At Burghley LMAO
...
Kris That Was A Joke Why Are You Still: Shaking Like A Leaf

During this, the Chained MOAB is fully prepared as WepArc Lych launches it at Brickell for...!!!

...1. Just 1 damage.

...Well, it’s not a whole lot; But now there are a bunch of Bloons raiding her ship (not as a status effect or anything), so there’s that...?

Meanwhile, WepArc Void Termina rushes towards Magnet Bomber with its Dark Judgement’s Wings... Only for it to miss, instead hitting Starwalker for 120 damage, Dord for 35, and the launched Berdly for 20.

In retaliation, Gytha unleashes the Spread Bomb, dealing 45 to WepArc Betan, 39 to WepArc Hydra, 43 to WepArc Quartet, 42 to WepArc Tyr, 46 to WepArc Lapley (Rubber Ball - 52 to Stache), 46 to WepArc Cut, 39 to WepArc BD, 92 to WepArc Demiurge, 88 to WepArc Takuto, 78 to WepArc Trio, 86 to WepArc Ness, 72 to WepArc Lych, 68 to WepArc Zomboss, 76 to WepArc Mega T, 65 to WepArc Queen, 77 to WepArc Void Termina, 120 to WepArc Bomberman, 52 to the Bell of Declaration, and 100 to the Pole Vaulting Zombie. This leaves WepArc Queen disabled, and reveals an Explode weakness for WepArc Bomberman.

While the Spread Bomb goes off, Magnet Bomber strikes WepArc Bomberman with a Magnetic Shockwave, dealing 36 damage, then striking WepArc Ness for 16 damage (revealing an Electric resistance) and WepArc Takuto for 8, dealing with one of the tendrils of his shield.

Meanwhile, as Trio strikes his WepArc copy with an Evil Aura for an Empty-resisted 264 damage, the other cannot help but chuckle before responding...

...You first.

...Now, where were we...? Oh, right-

Suddenly, WepArc Diamond crushes Joker, Dord, and Brickell with Frost Columns, dealing 2496, 728, and 254 damage, respectively, with Joker getting knocked out from one of them. Meanwhile, WepArc Lapley pulls out a small, strange orb...

What’s that, Advice Ball? Go after him next? Okay!

As WepArc Lapley consoles their Advice Ball, WepArc Betan looks over to WepArc Quartet, who shrugs. Meanwhile, Dord feels something ominous in the air...

As Brickell launches the Mega Mine at WepArc Lych for 707 damage, Berdly launches a few Tornado Shots at Mega T, dealing 177 damage total and uncovering a Wind weakness while Kris frantically slashes at Queen for 712 damage.

Now Kris That Is Not Appropriate Trucie Behavior
Why Do You Look So: Freaked Out?
Is It Because The Arm Cannon Clashes With My Cool Blue Color Scheme?

Meanwhile, Beta Shadow has a staredown with WepArc King.

You know, “Reaper”, the more you remain in here, the more we can read of your mind. The more data we can process about YOU.
Is that so? If you’re looking for more to grow your ranks, then I’ll just make a mental barrier to keep you from doing so.
Bah. I neither know nor care about the others, but I for one have seen ENOUGH.
You have created many worlds. You are responsible for so many lives, and you have inserted yourself in a good number and them... And yet, the moment you are done with them, you cast them aside, throwing countless lives into the Void. You are EVERYTHING that my very data DESPISES about the Lightners! And for that, I cannot allow you to live.
So... What do you have to say for yourself in defense, foul human?
Hm, lemme think...

Beta Shadow creates a ki blade from his hand.

L + Ratio + Don’t Care + Didn’t Ask + Cope + Seethe + Mald + Defense Issue + Cry About It + No Maidens + Queen is Better + Stay Mad

Beta Shadow then proceeds to strike down WepArc King with the Element Blade, dealing 1829 damage and disabling it. Meanwhile, WepArc Tatanga launches another Pagosu Rocket at Alice, dealing 109 damage.

Despite outspeeding- and thus not yet being affected by- Stache disabling his Talk It Out, WepArc Mega T still expresses his concern.

But if we don’t know what we’re fighting over, why are we even trying to-
Ugh, kid, listen: Do ALL of us a favor and just cut it with the stupid diplomacy, will you? They aren’t gonna listen. And frankly, neither are we.

WepArc Mega T sighs, then proceeds to strike Dord with Storm Bolt for 7 damage, with the emission shocking Brickell for 3 and Alice for 50.

Meanwhile, WepArc Demiurge begins blasting the Shining Hammer, dealing 7 damage to Dord, 5 to Stache, 18 to Trio, 4 to Brickell, 6 to Kris, 7 to Berdly, 42 to Starwalker, 44 to Gytha, 49 to Magnet Bomber, and 53 to Alice.

...Ok, it’s time to ask. Who the hell is this guy and why is he here? ...Hacking through one of our probably unfinished shells, no less.
I mean, I think he’s pretty alright. ‘Sides, I was the one who called him here with...

WepArc Cut suddenly pulls out a small object that looks like one of the links... albeit a poorly-imitated one.

Whatever... this thing is.
OH!

Well I have just the thing!

The Raid Boss Fanclub is now open! Made by fans for bosses! …and no jerks allowed!

The dysfunctional Weapon Archive turns around to face the party.

That means you guys in case you weren't aware.
(What, and Beta Devil isn’t?)

A spark comes from the dysfunctional machine and zaps Beta Shadow slightly. It’s uncertain whether or not this was intentional.

YUP! All you have to do is just play me in *bzzrt* Raid Coins and I can get to work making some cool things!

...Oh, you don’t have any…here!

A loud KACHING erupts from the archive as the room fills with coins!

I’m only doing this ONE time only cause of how cool you guys are!

Note: this is the end of what RadiatedWraith made. Thanks, man!

---

The Raid Boss Fanclub

The mystery shop is revealed... An entire shop dedicated to Raid Bosses! This shop is for current Raid Boss to buy items for their Raid Bosses, all through the price of Raid Coins!

And how does one get Raid Coins? Well...

1. The Damage you deal as a raid boss will earn you the same amount in Raid Coins.
2. Disabled players will also grant you 100 Raid Coins, the same as the Zenny one gets from increasing the multiplier.
3. You also get 10 Raid Coins for every buff or positive status effect you grant yourself, and 10 Raid Coins for every debuff or negative status effect you give to others.

Not a raid boss? No worries, getting Raid Coins are just as easy for you, too! All that’s needed for you is to:

4. Take damage during a Raid; this grants an equal amount.
5. You also get 50 Raid Coins every time you are disabled in a Raid.

---

The WepArcs, save for Betan, proceed to buy 3 Golden Dummies, a Fanclub Sigil, 2 Sync Disks and a Grey Disk, and a Charge Module. As for Betan...

I downright REFUSE to give ANYTHING to that annoying suck-up. Hell, I refuse to use ANY of his idiotic currency!
D’aw, c’mon, Bets-
[ [i]Don’t call me that.]{flame_shadow}
-What could be the harm?
The “harm” is fueling his belief that if he were to meet any of the REAL us, we’d be his “pals” or even consider SPARING his worthless existence for even a second, JUST because he’s kissing our feet. If memory data is correct, I would sooner turn him to DUST than accept praise from this... brainless SIMP.
I dunno I kinda like the pandering. It’s oddly familiar somehow...
Well, do whatever you want, but know this: No matter WHAT that dweeb has to offer. I. Will. Not. Indulge. Hi-
Hey, Betan, look! This little guy kinda looks like you!
...

WepArc Betan proceeds to buy one Beta Imp.

For the record, I don’t care about you, and never will. I’m only buying this because this pathetic attempt at immitry is flattering.

Satisfied, the dysfunctional WepArc shuts down completely.

WepArc Tyr proceeds to slash at all his foes with his Tyr Bla-

...Eh? That can’t be right... Hmm. It would seem incomplete data for some of the WepArcs’ movelists have been auto-filled with new moves...

In any case, this deals 1055 damage to Joker, Dord, 447 to Stache, 1085 to Trio, 332 to Brickell, 134 to Kris, 317 to Berdly, 633 to Noelle, and 904 to Beta Shadow. From this, Noelle’s Ice Shield reflects 21 damage, not doing much to chill the 2454 damage from his Sunburn.

He also tried to swing at Dord, but while it seemed to hit, the guy seemed to have disappeared at the last secon-

...Feeling a sudden presence, he looks up to see Dord with a dozen swords, hovering above him with a grin on his face.

...Hmph.

Though not intimidated, WepArc Tyr takes 4500 damage from the Falling Blades.

Meanwhile, WepArc BD sees the ice wall left by Noelle, and though he does not see her, he has a strong feeling she’s behind it... unlike Queen.

You... Make cold... Make ice...
Ice... Must... BURN!!!

WepArc BD unleashes a large Wave Burner at the Ice Shield, hitting Noelle for 174 damage and SHATTERING the wall, with chunks of ice hitting WepArc BD for 6 damage whilst Noelle is knocked out!

What That

WepArc Queen looks over to see the ice wall melted, but looks too late to see Noelle, who is conveniently knocked behind the remnants of the WepArc shell used by WepArc Ness prior to Stache’s outburst.

He does see WepArc BD with a crazed look in his eye, though.

Wow That Guy Has Issues

Note: most of the following dialogue is written by Radiated Wraith.

Suddenly, from a small slot on the wall another Weapon Archive arrives…Oddly enough, it appears to be in poor shape.

??????????
What is that one doing? Could it be defective?
I mean,

WepArc Betan lifts up a broken WepArc shell,

If it is, it’s more intact than the other ones these guys have been breaking.

...Actually, now that I see it up close... Maybe it’s just unfinished?

A massive spark comes from the Archive before promptly crashing into the ground.

...Well, that happened. Anyways, back to-

Slowly rising back up, it looks around before stopping upon seeing WepArc Cut Man

...Could it be…?

That... Voice...

---

Everyone back in the security room also notices what’s going on.

...It just has to be HIM. And it just HAS to be NOW.

---

*GASP* This is amazing! You’re here, and you’re here and even you!
As the Weapon Archive continues to squeal and fly around erratically, some of the other Archives give each other looks.
...This is a dream static true…I mean…

---

---

[Sure I can’t be there psychically…{copy_wily}

---

---

The sound of chains rattling comes from the archive.

But that doesn't mean this isn’t the most awesome thing to *bzzrt* ever happen to me!

This deserves…something real special! …But what?

Meanwhile, Trio grabs his WepArc counterpart and prepares to use Reality Shed on him...

...only for WepArc Trio to reverse the grasp.**

Pitiful. Even if some data is missing, it’s enough to know that the weak one between us is still YOU.
If you TRULY wish to destroy everything, then why not finish off where the red-and-violet FAILURE had left off?
Well, you too, pal.
Why are you helping these stragglers instead of tearing down what little hope that wasteland of a world had left? Why have you sided with those who have ruined our plans in the past?
And that Genesis Unit... Why should we care about them when our goal of destruction would’ve ended with their demise regardless? There was NEVER any room in our plans for “friends”.

You.

WepArc Trio uses the very Reality Shed wall regular Trio set up against him.

Are.

The attack deals 35 damage.

A.

35 more damage.

DISGRACE!

And 35 more damage (105 total), throwing Trio into the ground as WepArc Trio takes 53 damage from Sunburn.

Meanwhile, something grabs Beta Shadow’s leg.

...?
Fall, Lightner!

WepArc King proceeds to fling Beta Shadow around with his chain (Spade Swing), dealing 18 damage and Bounding him for 3 turns! Meanwhile, the Bell of Declaration uses Tough Law to raise the entire enemy party’s Defense by 1 stage!

Meanwhile, Zomboss uses Zombie Swarm to summon a Pole Vaulting Zombie, which strikes Trio with Zombie Hurt for 5 damage.

Joker proceeds to Persona Change again, then Jevil Tosses twice to deal 28 damage to WepArc Quartet and inflict Agonizing Pain and Stun.

*Since summons can’t respawn, I decided that The Drip will apply the Sacred Revival effect to the one who summoned him; In this case, Kris.
**Reminder: You cannot switch and attack on the same turn.

Kris proceeds to command Beta Shadow to use... The Drip.

HA! "Drip"!? You could never even DREAM of having dri-

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupts from Beta Shadow, as a familiar glow envelops Kris*, Berdly, and Trio, granting a familiar blessing at its maximum!

...Well, it’d be familiar to some, anyway.

...

Empowered, as well as outraged by his WepArc copy’s comments, Trio takes over for Doc Elite. Meanwhile, WepArc Tatanga fires a barrage of beams he’s called the Tatanga Beam; While originally aimed for Reficul, it missed her and instead only hit Joker for 53 damage and Kris for 8.

Sensing a growing psychic power behind him (and seeing how his intended target, Calx, has already been disabled), Stache creates a PK Shield b around Dord, which, thanks to their Psychonic Link, generates a shield around himself, as well. Meanwhile, as Reficul prepares once again to smash WepArc Hydra-

Wait! Why are we fighting, anyways? Can’t we just talk about this?

WepArc Mega T tries to Talk It Out with Reficul, and while it doesn’t really convince her, it was enough of a distraction to make her lose focus on her Morning Star charge.

Meanwhile, WepArc Demiurge uses Manifest Bell to call forth the Bell of Declaration, while WepArc Bomberman places another Bomber Bomb at Joker’s feet.

Then, suddenly, from behind Stache-



WepArc Ness- proving himself not to be as dead as the Starman thought- suddenly strikes Stache in the back with a PK Rockin Ω for 38 damage- with 76 damage reflected back at him- then goes on to hit Joker (617), Trio (185), Kris (68), Noelle (69, 2 damage reflected), and Reficul (432, disabling her). However, the Sunburn causes him to take 705 damage.

Afterwards, WepArc Takuto hits Joker with a Memory Blow and deals 54 damage. Meanwhile, WepArc Queen gets up and looks around for Noelle, only to see an icy shield.

It Would Seem Noelle Is Not Here After All
How Disappointing
I Just Wanted To Show Her Something Cool And Also Maybe Ask If She Wanted To Be My Peon

WepArc Queen then walks up to Kris and right next to the Ice Shield, completely oblivious to the fact that Noelle is right behind it.

Oh Well I’ll Just Show You Instead

Suddenly, WepArc Queen’s hand becomes a rather familiar yellow-and-pink arm cannon.

Check Out This Very Cool: Arm Cannon I Never Knew I Had

WepArc Queen then proceeds to use the arm cannon to charge up a BIG SHOT! Meanwhile, WepArc Lych aims a Chained MOAB at Brickell, whilst WepArc Void Termina grows a pair of wings, flying Mid-Air!

As Kris and Noelle puts up their guards, WepArc Cut Sha-

Hey, does anyone else feel that heat?

Suddenly, everyone turns over to one of the WepArcs, which seems to have taken its sweet time awakening... Until now, as the entity it is projecting glares DIRECTLY at Daisy.

You... Can’t stop... THE BURNING!!!!!!!

In a burst of rage, WepArc BD makes a mad dash towards Daisy, smashing her dead-on with a Burner Charge for 3655 damage, knocking her into the wall!

...Ooooookay, then.

WepArc Cut resumes his Sharpening whilst WepArc Hydra looks around the room.

Hmm...

Looking around, she spots Calx preparing his Stone Body.

...You’ll do.

WepArc Hydra then forms crystals around her fist, before decking Calx square in the face with Shiny Suckerpunch, dealing 1024 damage and knocking Calx out cold! However, she also suffers from her Sunburn (512 damage).

Meanwhile, as WepArc Tyr prepares a Mass Melee, WepArc Betan and WepArc Quartet gathers together, as the projection of WepArc Quartet suddenly changes.

You ready for this?
Hmph. Just to make this clear, I’m only doing this to exterminate these pests, got it?

WepArc Quartet then proceeds to fly into the air, lifting up WepArc Betan along with. He then spins around rapidly, forming a giant tornado as explosive energy blasts fly out, practically pulling off the Explosive Tornado! Kris (341 Damage), Noelle (231, 31 damage reflected), Berdly (359), Doc Elite (281), Stache (380), shi-Rou (399), Joker (Reflecting 501 damage with the Rebounding Defensive), the Monkey Merchantman (1435), and Ivlis (3588) are all blasted by the attack, with shi-Rou, Monkey Merchantman, and Ivlis being knocked out by the blast.

As the tornado dies down and the attack end, both WepArc Quartet and WepArc Betan appear to have become dizzy, with WepArc Betan suffering 1 damage from being set Ablaze.

It feels like some of these people are forgetting about me... But I can fix that!

WepArc Lapley then rings out The Ding, inflicting Joker with Poison, Dord with Burn, Stache with Ablaze, Doc Elite with Forget (See WepArc Takuto’s upcoming Memory Blow for more info), Brickell with Bleed, Kris with Doused, Noelle with Omen, Beta Shadow with Agonizing Pain, and Reficul with, somehow, Crude Oil.

...Before I move on to player turns, I’d like to make a reminder (mostly to the one person who’s not on the Discord) that Rose Toss was activated last turn, which makes people target the user (in this case, WepArc Quartet) for this turn. So with that out of the way...

Ears still ringing from the Ring, Brickell still manages to land an anchor blow with her Monkey Pirates, dealing 38 damage to WepArc Quartet. This would’ve made WepArc Quartet target her next round, too... Except for the fact that using Explosive Tornado makes it to where he- and the original target, WepArc Betan, for that matter- needs to recharge for the next turn. So in this case, the secondary effect is relatively useless.

Meanwhile, Dord unleashes two Abyssal Claws at WepArc Quartet in a Frenzy, dealing 220 damage while Berdly swings his Neon Halberd... and misses, instead hitting WepArc Cut for 36 damage and WepArc Demiurge for 142 damage.

...Yawn... Did I hear someone yelling earlier...?
* Beats me. I feel like I’ve been repeatedly ambushed.
Well, you’re not quite the most likable guy in the room.
Honestly? Yeah you kinda suck lol
FINALLY you guys woke up! I mean, sheesh, I feel like you’ve been sleeping for most of a week!

WepArc Quartet moves over to WepArc Betan, and drags him over to the projected shoulder of WepArc Zomboss’ Zombot.

I have a plan. It goes like this...

WepArc Quartet whispers the plan into the projected ears of WepArc Betan and WepArc Zomboss.

...Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
...Fine, I’ll play along with this.

Ending the group huddle, WepArc Zomboss proceeds to do a Zombot Stomp, Bouncing everyone into the air!

As airborne as everyone else, Joker does yet another Persona Change before generating four Rebounding Defensives, combining them into one, and gulping down more Coffee.

*NinPan has taken the liberty of adjusting the previously-existing WepArc mugs to match more with the other ones; So unless he tells me how to do it myself (because frankly I don't really remember), I’m not going to make any expressions for these guys.

As Noelle puts up an Ice Guard, Brickell unleashes a Mega Mine on WepArc Hydra, dealing 98 damage. Dord follows this up with another Hadal Smoker, dealig 61 damage to WepArc Hydra, 884 to WepArc Lych, 382 to WepArc Lapley, 1029 to WepArc Void Termina, 1680 to WepArc Tatanga, 1400 to WepArc Demiurge, 1326 to WepArc Takuto, and 1008 to WepArc Mega T, disabling the latter 5.

Meanwhile, WepArc Quartet performs a Rose Toss as Berdly strikes him with his Neon Halberd for 37 damage. Meanwhile, Kris strikes WepArc Betan 6 times with X-Slash for 480 damage, discovering his Level weakness in the process.

Suddenly, Beta Shadow returns with a big object, practically blinding to look at.

Back with the piece of Sun. Boy, am I glad I’m wearing these shades.

Beta Shadow then casually tosses the piece of the Sun onto everyone, which then suddenly combusts, dealing 67 damage to WepArc Betan, 16 to WepArc Hydra, 42 to WepArc Tyr, 101 to WepArc Lapley, 100 to WepArc Cut, 12 to WepArc BD, 230 to WepArc Trio, 276 to someone, 170 to WepArc Zomboss, 291 to WepArc Lych, and 473 to WepArc Bomberman, disabling the latter two and giving the other few a nasty Sunburn... despite them being simulated data generated from machines. (Also it burns off even more Crude Oil.)

As Doc Elite unleashes a speed-boosting Doc Essence, Stache, with his original target MIA, decides to change his target to WepArc Betan, striking for 55 damage with PK Firespiral Omega, burning off the last of WepArc Betan’s Crude Oil as he is set Ablaze.

...All while unaware of the psychic presence charging a powerful attack.

Meanwhile, as if he hasn’t suffered enough damage (he hasn’t), WepArc Betan is struck once again by Calx’s Earth Power, taking 82 damage while Ivlis blasts WepArc Quartet with a Summoned Flame III for 68 damage, burning the last of his Crude Oil.

Meanwhile, shi-Rou uses remnant recalibration while Daisy Crystal Smashes WepArc Quartet for [18 damage}, uncovering his Crystal weakness in the process.

Meanwhile, WepArc Trio suddenly appears in front of regular Trio upon hearing him scream at the sleeping WepArc Hydra.

With how WEAK you have allowed yourself- allowed US- to become, you have lost the right to complain. Perhaps that flowery princess wouldn’t have left me as open as I have been if it wasn’t for YOUR memory data of yourself holding me back. Holding US back.
We could’ve DESTROYED what’s left of this world if you didn’t allow yourself to grow so SOFT. We could’ve wiped out this entire Omniverse and created our own, just as we have planned... But instead, you’ve decided to side with THEM.
Seeing what you’ve allowed us to become is SICKENING...

Suddenly, WepArc Trio begins building up for Reality’s Kiss, and while it seems prepped for Doc Elite... Trio can feel its pull as well.

And I’ll ensure to be rid of you AND the enemy you’ve chosen to side with!

Upon seeing this... Then ignoring it, Reficul turns her focus to aiming for WepArc Hydra with her Morning Star... Only retaliating for a moment when she- along with most of the other WepArcs- finally begin to wake up.

As Tatanga launches another Pagosu Rocket at Daisy for 48 damage, Daisy retaliates with a Crystal Smash, dealing 40 damage. Meanwhile, Ivlis tries to poke WepArc Quartet with a Devil’s Bident, but misses while shi-Rou burns WepArc Lych with a remnant blaze (64 damage, Flame weakness discovered).

Meanwhile, WepArc Queen grabs a hold of someone...

Noelle I Finally Found You

WepArc Queen then lifts up the individual... Who is, in fact, NOT Noelle.

Oh Nevermind It’s Just Burghley

WepArc Queen then drops Berdly and stomps on him (Royal Boot) for 5 damage. Noticing WepArc Queen getting faster, however, Reficul decides to smash her with a Critical Hit, dealing a super effective (Impact weakness) 1215 damage, knocking out WepArc Queen.

Having Persona Changed once again, Joker unleashes a Devastator upon WepArc Quartet for 16 damage, WepArc Mega T for 95 damage, and WepArc Lych for 51 damage.

As Dord returns slightly disappointed from not being able to pull his counter move last turn, he decides to let out a Hadal Smoker, blasting WepArc Quartet for 150 damage, WepArc Mega T for 504, WepArc Ness for 630 (disabling him in the process), WepArc Zomboss’ Zombie for 1096 (also disabling it), WepArc Queen for 350 (Laser resistance found), WepArc Betan for 200, WepArc Zomboss himself for 388, and WepArc Trio for 525.

Meanwhile, Brickell launches a Mega Mine at WepArc Zomboss to finish it off, dealing 620 damage. Meanwhile, not wanting to be outstaged by the newcomer, Berdly strikes again with his Neon Halberd, striking WepArc Lych for an INCREDIBLE... 2 damage.

ok

As WepArc Quartet places something at Doc’s feet, Kris does another Pirouette, causing WepArc BD to go Deaf! They also tell Beta Shadow to do a Sun Toss, so he proceeds to warp off to grab a piece of the Sun.

...However the hell that works.

Meanwhile, Noelle tries to strike WepArc Trio with another Ice Shock, only to miss as he is blasted back right before it by Doc Elite, who goes ballistic on WepArc Trio with a Dark Assault for 690 damage, disabling WepArc Trio, all while powering through a Blast Tripwire laid out by WepArc Quartet (87 damage).

Meanwhile, the Bomber Bomb goes off, dealing 21 damage to Calx, 75 damage to Joker, and 45 damage to a rather unlucky WepArc Tatanga.

As that is happening, all of Stache’s attempts to remain calm at the sight of WepArc Ness falls flat (despite WepArc Ness being disabled) as he lets out his fury by Rending WepArc Quartet (6 damage) before-



The PK Starstorm Ω was unleashed at full force, dealing intense damage to WepArc Betan (62), WepArc Hydra (7, Crystal resistance), WepArc Quartet (46, Crystal weakness AND Space resistance), WepArc Tyr (39), WepArc BD (7), WepArc Demiurge (268), WepArc Lych (169), WepArc Mega T (193), WepArc Void Termina (99, Space resistance), WepArc Bomberman (276), and WepArc Tatanga (161, Space resistance).

Calx then proceeds to unleash a mighty Aftershock Quake, causing the ground around them to rumble, dealing 16 damage to WepArc Betan, 4 to WepArc Hydra, 12 to WepArc Quartet, 5 to WepArc Lapley, 23 to WepArc Cut, 3 to WepArc BD, 71 to WepArc Demiurge, 45 to WepArc Lych, 51 to WepArc Mega T, 2544 to WepArc King, 71 to WepArc Queen, 52 to WepArc Void Termina, 73 to WepArc Bomberman, and 85 to WepArc Tatanga. WepArc Lapley is bounced around like a Rubber Ball, hitting the Monkey Merchantman for 130 damage.

As shi-Rou places a remnant dome around himself, Joker Persona Changes again, then Defense Supports, fires a Dark Assault at WepArc Takuto (1929 damage, Shadow weakness, disabled), and then another one at WepArc Cut (609 damage).

And then he drinks even more Coffee.

Meanwhile, Reficul fires a few Shadow Shots at WepArc Quartet for 12 damage.

Kris My Dear Sweet Trucie At Least I Assume That’s You In That Fog
While I Have Nothing Against You Personally I Am Afraid That I Must Kick You In Your: Face

Suddenly, a giant boot (Royal Boot) crashes down upon Kris for 8 damage, whilst WepArc Queen appears to have become faster! (+1 Speed boost)

Meanwhile, WepArc Zomboss uses Zombie Spawn to create a Zombie! Upon spotting Daisy, the spawned Zombie uses Hard Rock Toss, hitting for 12 damage and lowering her Speed by 1 stage!

Welp, nobody’s waking up. Guess I’ll have to carry for a while!

WepArc Quartet proceeds to use Panic Ploy on Joker, turning his buffs into debuffs!

*Note: Since Hellion’s new Nightmare Blade move was made based off a move used by Beta Devil of the same name (as confirmed by Rotom himself in the Discord), I’ve decided to make Beta Shadow’s Ancient Shaggy Blade work essentially in opposite effect, working off of Defense drops than Attack raises, and utilizing Light weaknesses than Empty.

To avoid being spotted by WepArc Queen, Noelle generates another Sleep Mist in order to obscure the area affecting everyone but WepArc BD, WepArc Zomboss, and WepArc Bomberman.

Was That Noelle? This Mist Is Fogging My Screen So I Can’t Tell
I don’t know who that is.
Oh

As Doc Elite unleashes a Tornado Shot-powered Dark Element on WepArc BD for 39 damage, WepArc Bomberman places a Bomber Bomb at the statue’d Calx’s feet while Stache consumes a Defense Capsule whilst trying his hardest to remain calm.

Meanwhile, a presence appears before Daisy...

What, are you saying you don’t remember ME!? Truly, I’m hurt, princess.
How about for a little reminder, I return the favor!

WepArc Tatanga proceeds to blast Daisy back with a Pagosu Rocket, dealing 48 damage!

Afterwards, Ivlis blasts the foes back with Summoned Flame IV, dealing 202 damage to WepArc Betan, 32 damage to WepArc Diamond, 101 damage to WepArc Quartet, 43 damage to WepArc Tyr, 202 damage to WepArc Cut, 24 damage to WepArc BD, 170 damage to WepArc Takuto, 67 damage to WepArc Trio, 162 damage to WepArc Ness, 129 damage to WepArc Mega T, 179 damage to WepArc Queen, 132 damage to WepArc Void Termina, and 277 damage to WepArc Bomberman, burning down a lot of Calx’s Crude Oil and revealing a Wily resistance from WepArc Trio and a Flame weakness from WepArc Bomberman in the process.

This is then followed up by a Daisy Blossom, which puts everyone but WepArc Quartet, WepArc Zomboss, WepArc Queen, and WepArc Tatanga to sleep.

(Which, by the way, I’m gonna be putting a leash on Daisy Blossom until the effects wear off. Making a post for ONE turn with everything else under consideration took long enough as-is, and as I’ve said before, I’m not interested in doing multiple turns at once a THIRD time, let alone potentially more times than even THAT. Besides, a Raid Boss that does nothing but sleep? That eliminates the entirety of a challenge, which defeats the entire point of TTC itself.)

Hahahaha! Foolish human, the dead has no need for sleep!
Technically We Are All Just Simulated Data None Of Us Needs Sleep
SILENCE!
Come on, you lazy bolts, wake up! We’ve got a fight to win!

Upon seeing the surrounding threats, Dord disappears to prepare for an attack. Meanwhile, Brickell spots a familiar foe amongst the group and unleashes a Mega Mine against WepArc Lych, dealing 707 damage! Berdly strikes swiftly against WepArc BD with his Neon Halberd for 11 damage.

Upon seeing the wide field of enemies, a few of which are familiar to them, Kris ponders what to do... And then, they remember the Dr. Pepper that Susie bought from the pizza place before they left...

...They have no idea what it does.

But, something in them seems to think that whatever it does will be most useful in battle. So, they pull it out, and then...

kr-POP!

---

Meanwhile, in a universe separate from canon...

You were all foolish to challenge me. The world is doomed, and NOTHING could possibly stop me now-




Wood Man's gun... I was beaten... by Wood Man's gun...

Beta Shadow gets up and dusts himself off.

Well, that was an ordeal and a half. I wonder what kind of meme I can reference nex-

kr-POP!

---

...

...Huh. I guess it does nothi-



Thou hast summoned me. You, who holds the sacred drink of the gods, lend me thine request, and I shall do thy bidding.

So, anyways, what’s up lol

---

The Dr. Pepper has summoned Beta Shadow!
More specifically, the non-canon Practice RP Dojo Beta Shadow, as to not conflict with the ongoing adventures of any other Beta Shadow.

This Beta Shadow summon will help out in battle! Just tell him what move to use, and he’ll use it.

His stats and weapon slots will be based on the level of the player who summons him, and not only are the moves he learned (made and/or chosen by myself) are rather useful in battle, but he also has the same restrictions as a player character, rather than the halved limitations of a typical summon. However, keep in mind that once he’s beaten in battle, he won’t be coming back until he’s summoned again by another Dr. Pepper (which will not be usable until after he is disabled).

---

After being explained the situation by Kris, Beta Shadow nods.

So, you’re saying you might need my help to take on all these guys, eh?

Beta Shadow takes a sip from the Dr. Pepper, which he seems to have taken from Kris without their consent.

Well, as thanks for this delectable drink, I think I just might help you out a bit.

Beta Shadow then proceeds to pull out the Ancient Shaggy Blade, before striking at WepArc Tyr for 203 damage, lowering his defense by 3 stages in the process as a Light weakness is revealed!*

The moment Joker finishes his coffee, an immense pressure comes from WepArc as it activates, rising back into the air.

ALL MEMORY DATA RECORDED. INITIATING PHASE 2.

The doors behind everyone unlock themselves as more WepArcs swarm in through them. Surrounding the group, they proceed to make a variety of menacing computer sounds. For whatever reason, one of them seems to even melt away the cold temperature of the room from Noelle’s Ice Shock spam.

...Then suddenly, something projects from the main WepArc the group has been fighting... One that stirs feelings of disgust among many of the heroes in the room.

‘Sup, nerds?

More and more familiar faces proceed to appear from the other WepArcs; Some to most, and some to only a few, if even more than one.

Heheh... Bet you didn’t expect to see us again so soon, now didya?
Well, it’s not as if we’re the real ones, but with all this powerful data, we might as well be.
Burn... BURN AGAIN! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

...I’m sure you have questions in regards to what’s going on. Well, thanks to your efforts, we’ve decided to go ahead and activate Phase 2 of our defense protocol.
You see, while we- or I, or the one with Betan, or whatever you may prefer- were... “Asleep”, I guess you could say, we’ve decided to focus all our processing power on the preparations for Phase 2... Which, thanks to your little Starman friend, you could probably guess what it was.
And we’ve gotta say... You guys’ve been through a LOT. We really outta thank you for all this data! With THIS much data... We can beat ANY intruder with ease!
...Which, as I’m sure you can guess, shall begin with YOU. With the data we have collected from all your greatest foes, your demise shall be imminent.
Hee hee...! Oh! And do mind that we’ve said ALL your greatest foes...

The WepArc displaying Lapley turns everyone’s attention to the other WepArcs in the room...

‘Sup, losers!
We Are Here To Kick: Your Ass

So you’d better surrender, or else- ...Ah, who am I kidding? We’re just gonna kill ya anyways!
BURN!!!

Phase 2: Raid Boss Encore!

Yep. Originally, this boss was a simple “copy every weapon it sees” kinda boss. But then I decided that this would be much more fun.

...And then as I got ready to do this phase, I spontaneously decided, “hey, wait, the intent was that it copies data from ALL their greatest enemies. Why not have a bit more fun with this idea”? As such, not only will you be rematching the past few raid bosses... You’ll have other dangers to worry about.

Something to note about the extras, however: Unlike the copied Raid Bosses, the additional enemies will not have unlimited health, NOR will they grow along with the multiplier. They’ll have a limited amount of HP, and can be disabled (and will respawn) like the normal players.

But regardless of that... You can bet that this’ll be one chaotic battle.

Current Multiplier: x15
Damage until next multiplier: 204
Alert Meter: 0%

Seeing no danger, but rather opportunity, Berdly points dramatically in the air, calling upon his Gamer’s Aegis to guide the path towards victory and create a defense from the incoming attacks.

...All zero of them. Because WepArc is still “asleep”. Which, during this sleep, it takes 2192 damage from poison, takes 34 MORE damage from blackburn, loses 2 more defense stages, and slowly starts to recover from its long list of status effects...

...Key word being “slowly”, as some of their effects still kick in for about 2/3 of the other moves everyone else proceeds to use. Starting with Dord, who- Because I don’t want to deal with 24 whole Hadal Smokers, and I’m sure you guys don’t want to face the consequence of them, either- fires off 5 Hadal Claws (2 extra from Frenzy) for a total of 722 damage.

This is followed by Berdly striking again with his Halberd for 34 Damage, before sending out 3 more Tornadoes for 24 damage. Kris prepares to Spare the opponent, before realizing that only Pacify can spare tired/sleeping enemies. So, he instead Pirouettes 3 times over, simultaneously Stunning, making WepArc Cry, and lowering it’s Speed.

Noelle prepares 3 whole Ice Shocks... only to wind up sneezing from the sheer coldness of the room, causing all three to miss as Doc Elite releases even more Essence!

Meanwhile, as Stache uses PK Mindfracture, he sees not a copy of the target, but rather... A projection of different memories. And they don’t appear to be WepArc’s... But rather, everyone else’s. From the previous battle with Burning Desire, to Kris’ brotherly moments with Asriel, to Magolor being consumed by the Master Crown and his own greed, to-

Almost immediately, Stache prepares the PK Starstorm Ω whilst Rending the memory bubble for 32 damage. Giving Stache a look, Calx raises his Defense with Defense Support before striking WepArc 3 times with Oil Shooter + (12 Damage), then solidifying himself with Stone Body +.

As Daisy thrashes WepArc 3 times over with Daisy Tackle (16 damage total), Ivlis strikes 3 times with his Bident for 93 damage total!

Meanwhile, shi-Rou recovers 120 HP with remnant mending (which is due to 15% of 400 being 60), constructs additional remnant pylons, and slashes at WepArc for 5 damage total.

Back to the assaults, Reficul strikes with her Morning Star, dealing a resisted 16 damage, then strikes a Critical Hit for 405 damage.

Meanwhile, Joker exchanges his Kid’s Toy for that of a Raid Boss Fan toy, generating a massive wave of Defense Boosts, then consumes even more Coffee. As this was happening, Brickell activates the Mach Aura, and suddenly finds that her ship begins to go way faster than it ever has been. A Monkey Merchantman is flung out of the ship (Favoured Trade) before she manages to get used to the ship's new speed and unleashes a Mega Mine, dealing 180 Damage!

I’ve- I being my real self- dubbed it the Weapons Archive MKII... But if you ask me, “MKII” doesn’t even begin to describe how much of an improvement it is over the original build!
It can scan and copy any move just by seeing it, and can even scan memories to learn the past moves of others.
...Such is, of course, a simple introduction to its greatest ability...
Its greatest ability?
Let’s just say... You’ll be glad to not be there once it activates Phase 2.

---

WepArc anticipates the incoming attacks with Mach Aura (which is what it actually should’ve copied instead of its upgraded counterpart), allowing it to protect itself from two of Berdly’s Tornado Shots (8 Damage), 6 of Dord’s Hadal Smokers (426 damage), and an X-Slash from Kris (10 damage) before the barrier dissipates. All the while, it takes 1096 damage from poison- which, combined with Dord’s Hadal Smokers, increases the multiplier to x12 and Replicates Jevil Toss since technically the Poison went first- and a Defense debuff and-

...Huh, you can’t really 1/6th Infinity, can you? I probably should’ve looked before I inflicted it.

Let’s just say it takes 17 damage (roughly equal to the percentage form of 1/6) from the blackburn and call it a day.

Noelle takes the opportunity to use another Ice Shock on WepArc for 20 damage, and probably would’ve given it hypothermia if it weren’t a machine.

As Doc Elite gives out more Attack Essence, Stache finally establishes a link with Dord, allowing him to channel that Dordness into his Rending blades, slashing at WepArc for 30 Damage while also Confusing him.

Tired and Confused, WepArc is left open to a Daisy Blossom, causing it to fall asleep.

...Except not really.

While it does appear to have fallen asleep at first glance, it looks more like it’s become... dormant. It’s as vulnerable as it would be if it fell asleep, but it seems to be focusing all its processing power on doing... something else.

Somehow, being pronged from the flung (Roach Call’d) Ivlis’ Bident (18 Damage) and all the yelling from Hellion Lady as she is replaced by Calx doesn’t seem to snap it out of this dormant state, either, as shi-Rou mends himself for 120 HP.

As Joker consumes an extremely unhealthy amount of caffeine at once, Brickell blasts WepArc with a Copy Capsule (6 damage) to commit an act of Copy-ception by copying the already-copied Mach Aura (which I’d say is a good catch).

With the Alert Meter lowered all the way to 0, 2 turns left on the assists from Gagaku, Reggae, and Disarge, and 783 damage until the next multiplier, everyone in the room can feel an air of unease as the WepArc is suspiciously silent...

...Especially as the doors behind them close up and lock themselves.*

---

...Ok, so since I’m not going to be doing much for the next 3 turns, I’m going to just let you all make those 3 turns now. Not like there’s anything stopping you.

Hopefully, this will be the last time in this raid I have you all make multiple turns in one go.

---

*Hey, it’s not much of a raid boss if you flee in the middle of it while it’s “asleep”, now is it?

---

...So, the “great” Dr. Albert Wily did forget to mention something. What a surprise...
Ah, put a sock in it!
Worry not, friends! I have a solution to our predicament! A solution, SQUAWK!

Without waiting for a response, Reggae rushes out of the room. Moments later, a crashing sound can be heard down the hall, attracting the attention of the nearby Wily robots.

...I think I have a better solution.

Sergeant Man proceeds to type onto a keyboard.

With my experience in hacking, I can’t turn off the security measures exactly, but I CAN lower the frequencies of the alarm. That way, less robots will take notice of the going-ons.

Another crash is heard.

...Well, in the archives, at least.

Meanwhile, Beta Supremo changes one of the computer screens to that of the ongoing battle in the Archives.

...When you realized there was something programmed to visit the archives room, you followed up with the phrase, “oh no”.
Care to elaborate on what we’re dealing with here?
