...Heh.
The antimatter reconnects with Anti-Fairy Queen...but something's not right. It seems to be...shrinking...?
If you guys don't obey the law of matter...
Radiated Wraith points a finger gun at Anti-Fairy Queen, cracking a smile underneath his mask.
...then allow me to abuse that.
Suddenly each particle that was absorbed has been destroyed and so too are every single anti-matter particle they touch, spreading like an infection across her body.

---

---

As Hightower goes through the portal, a dummy that looks like RW says thanks before disappearing into cloth and fabric.

...If you're assuming that I thought that, then you're the idiot!
(Shoot. How did she know?)
Radiated Wraith kracks his knuckles before pulling out a blanket. After tapping it with a stick, a red vacuum appears.
...In case you're wondering...I'm spelling it as vakuum...so...it's completely different!
Turning it on and cranking a turnknob, pieces of anti-matter comes flying off of the fairy queen into the machine, destroying said particles in the process.

Radiated Wraith runs into a freeze projectile that was thrown around post 9 because I can't read, er...because he was far away. Nothing happens as he's at full HP. With a thought, his hands turn to cannons, allowing him to spam SP Freeze Crackers at Anti-Fairy Queen. Regardless of if they hit, the fragment explode, homing in on Goon and Anti-Fairy Queen.
Realizing what she said, he starts to devise a plan involving constructing a vacuum using a badger, string, a black hole and a vacuum.

Radiated Wraith taps the box, switching it to where now he sees himself in the third person. He then charges forth, casting Coldthunder Strike on the ice mirror, powering it up by a sizable amount.

Radiated Wraith pointing finger guns at Viridi for the pun. Doing this also breaks the Tornado Hold.
Oh I can make this a music video if you want.
RW pulls out a black box and throws it ahead of him. Suddenly Goon, Anti-Chimera, and Trio.EXE's vision goes black before it cuts to the box, making them see themselves in a third-person view.

---

---

Tedd feels a drop of rain. The Goon also feels a drop of rain. Before anyone knows it, the sky cries out, tears pouring downwards into the void. A song can faintly be heard on the winds as a figure appears in the distance.
♩Don't Fear the Reaper
Heh.
A flash of cold lightning erupts from Radiated Wraith (still far away), striking Anti-Chimera, applying Chilled and Soulfrost to the target.

---

Chilled The afflicted becomes slower to react and has a higher chance of failing buildup attacks.
Soulfrost The afflicted has takes soul damage over time. If enough soul damage is acculumenated, the body becomes unable to be operated by its soul.freeze

...
RDS uses Mecha Summon, creating an Shield Attacker RX before teleporting away. Two more Overmarch soldiers appear, disabling the N-Zs.

---

---

Yes.
Radiated Wraith then teleports away, snickering to himself.

A headon slash is aimed at RDS, who simply grabs the arm of the attacker.
Understood.
RDS then proceeds to fire a burst of electricity from his palm, stunning said minion.
(Haven't used that little trick in a while.)
Through instinct, RDS leans back, dodging a strike by Cyber-Lucina.
...
Not looking away, he weaves through each strike.


Glass looks to Bloodmoon with surprise.
Have you gone ma-
Spotting Zalgo defending Kirby, he starts to piece together what's going on.

---

---

Glass is caught completly off guard and is pounced to the ground.
Aren't you one ugly beast?
Glass drives the Manti Katti upwards into Sabre-Tooth.
RDS appears out of nowhere, skewering one of the minions with a baton and firing a gas canister at a group of them.
Traitors to the princess will be given no quarter.

---

---

The Acorn kind of just follows behind, unsure of what to do but content with whatever happens.

---

---

A battle between the soldiers and devils seems to be taken place with both sides locked in a stalemate.

---

---

Stache can be hunched behind a rock writing in a journal.
KILL KILL KILL
...(It's still going. My PSI shield's been able to keep out most of its negative effects, but that grating false Italian accent is starting to get on my nerves.)
...But more than that, there's...this other voice. Telling me with candied to move north, to move away from her. I don't know if it's some error in my programming akin to that of a conscience or if a third party, but the closer I move, the more...calming it sounds? I can't quite explain it but in the end, it's best I follow while waiting for those fools to leave.
Stache closes his journal and heads towards a mountain path.

---

---

A application is sent through the system, albeit being worded oddly. Instead of simply saying to fight crime, it's asking...to form a joint alliance with the UKR?

---

---

Radiated Wraith arrives at the town and is impressed that someone has already helped out, just like with the rainforest. He then teleports to Zalgo's dimension and starts to undo the damage.

Glass's eyes open wide as he finds himself in a forest. Oddly, the aura has not faded from the mentioned gods's sights.
...
Glass takes a moment to collect his bearings, unable to defend himself.

---

---

The Acorn kind of just follows behind, unsure of what to do but content with whatever happens.

Glass arrives at the scene, pausing for a second.
...
KILL KILL KILL KILL
He can feel his blood seemly catch on fire, becoming hotter by the second.
KILL KILL KILL KILL
His grip tightens on the blade.
KILL KILL KILL KILL
Glass walks towards Zalgo, eyes smoldering coals.
You wish to end your accursed war? The only way you can help achieve that dream...
Is by DYING AT MY HAND!
A frightening aura radiates from Glass, only seen by Zalgo, Kirby, and Palutena (assuming Shaggy isn't on the scene...?).

---

Radiated Wraith looks around at the destruction caused both in this dimension and Zalgo's, not saying a word, just silently shaking his head.

---

---

The darkside soldiers look to the monitor, a phrase starts to enter their heads.
You hear that too, don't you.
DS Smile nods.
Gentlemen, equip some bloody tin foil hats. We need to...have a clear head.
If the Empty Core's truly to blame then...)

---

---

A lone human watches from afar, can't believing what he's hearing right now.

I acknowledge your naivety, but at this point you're just spitting out phrases akin to a early childhood cartoon character. Do you not see their stares? For that matter, what about the people of our dimension? Just because you were born in that dimension doesn't mean you don't belong to ours. To everyone, we are Grey Matter. We consume the feelings of machines so we can feel and we stole and forgot entire civilizations worth of knowledge.
But we didn't do that! All I did-
...But I did.
What?
Do you think these hands haven't seen oil or blood spilled by them? Do you think I always fought for the side of inorganics? Against our kind? Think about it, why is it that despite not having your gift of naturally feeling emotions that I yell at you all the time and lament over our sins?
As Quin tries to make a counter response, a sense of dread starts to form in his mind.
It is because I have s l a u g h t e r e d so many machines and so many innocents that I, a being created with an inability to feel, can't ever feel empty again. I was g r e e d y and took far more power than I needed, even go as far as to let a machine processing plant operate just for a quick bite of emotions. To me, they served as nothing more than drugs to give me that feeling of happiness once more. But I didn't care even when absorbing their feelings of happiness.
...
...They can see it on my face, on our faces. They saw that every single member of our species there all had the same potential to display pure evil. Do you think they've lamented over their demise or did they celebrate? Do you think they'll lament ours?
I-
Do you really think that if something were to happen to us that they, Mighty, Martin, Meta Knight, even Null would come looking for us?
...
That's what I thought.
Not saying another word, Blade turns to the mirror, drawing his blade and jumping into it.
That's what I thought.

---

---

Well...I guess he was right.
The portal is active.
I...I did it?! ...Let's get going!(I didn't think about where to go though...oh wait! I was thinking about the Stability Shrine! I'm so smart that even I didn't know it!)

---

Of course...

---

---

YoU BrOkE iT!?!?!
I'm sorry I d-
Enough.
Blade puts a hand up to his face in a disappointed look, not breaking eye contact with Quin.
Something as simple as a mirror shattering won't prevent our chance at retribution. Stand back.
Doing as he's told, Quin looks to the ground. Sure Blade had been kinder compared to their first encounter but still there was a feeling of hostility that seemed to radiate from him. Surely breaking things wasn't helping to quell that.
Are you watching this? Us Grey Matter may of been a menace to this world and our world, but the knowledge they picked up can't be ignored.
Just hold out your palm like I'm doing. Concentrate on where you want to go and the mirror will do the rest. Just remember that with cracked mirrors, such as this, you may not always reach your destination. Thankfully it only broke into four pieces, so we should be fine.
Quin looks on with wonder as he finishes repairing the mirror.
It's time to go!
Hold on one second Stellar.
Quickly sheathing her to stop her complaints, he turns to Quin.
...*sigh* Quin.
Yeah Blade?
I say it over and over again, but we are the last of our kind.
...I know...
What that means is that if one of us falls in battle, it will be the others responsibility to continue the redemption of our kind.
...Blade, can I ask you a question?
Sure.
If we win here, if we beat Beta Devil...will we be redeemed then?
...No. No we won't. We'll still be monsters in the eyes of others.
...how long will it take then?
Wh-
I mean...good people do everything they can to make things right. But even they make mistakes. And yet, people still see them as heroes. So...why can't that be the same for us?
Quin.
I...I know I've done some terrible things, even if I was told to do so. But...when we went to Doppler Labs, they didn't seem to hate us. They kinda even treated us as...friends.
...
And...we helped them, like friends would. Some Grey Matter ended up attacking them, but they didn't seem to hold us as responsible, especially not you.
...Quin. Just stop for a-.
If we're the only ones left but the only good guys we've met see us as friends, then-
WON'T YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN?
[...]{netural}

---

Mighty gets a phone call. By sheer will, it opens itself.
On your command, we'll take em down!

---

---

The ground fluctuates and Jack, holding Blade, crashes into the ground below with a hard landing.
Jack! Are you okay?
Quin without much thought jumps down the recently created hole with worry in his eye. Making a far more graceful landing, he holds out a hand to help Jack up.
...?...!

Stability of platforms deemed 70% weakened. Be advised that my weight combined with that of Blade's will more than likely result in weakpoints breaking, as you witnessed just now.
[(Of course. Blade. He hasn't gotten better yet has he? ...I know he was hurt earlier, but it still dosen't make any sense as to why he's still sleeping. Jack said he's alive and-Oh! Jack!)
It happens! We just have to- There!
Jack's pupil starts to Zig-zag in an attempt to locate any form of glass but save for shards nothing worth noting.
It's intact...just need to move this beam and there we go! We're saved!
Eagerly, Quin turns around with something in his hands. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a circular wooden frame.
...I fail to identify mirror or transportation method in this object.
Don't you see! With this, we have all we need to make one!
Jack tilts his head in confusion, trying to come up with a method as to how to turn wood into glass. Meanwhile, Quin starts feeling the ground and suddenly winces when he finds what he's looking for. Raising his arm, he plucks the glass shard and places it like into the frame. Jack realizes what to do and gently places down Blade while grabbing as many shards as possible.
Let me facilitate shard collection.
Thanks!
[[image](https://i.imgur.com/ckQ16Z6.pngFor future reference, how did you develop this plan?]{shadow_shield}
I saw Blade do this once!
...
Jack grabs the last of the pieces of glass and jams them into place. Though the pieces are far too rugged to fit perfectly, Quin still seemed confident that it could be done. Standing above it, his eye suddenly disappears as he jumps belly-first into the frame, letting out a high pitched yelp, causing Jack to snap out of his calculations.
Vital signs normal. All is well.
Suddenly springing back up, Quin lands a perfect landing besides the frame. Looking again at the mirror, various squirming pieces of grey matter can be spotted filling in the cracks.
Now all I need to do is to hold my palm out and...
(please work, please work, please work)
Could he really do it? He had never succeeded in creating a mirror from scratch before but surely it could be a easy task for him, right? ...How that happened again anyways? Hmm...

---

A collective amount of facepalms erupts throughout the bunker upon seeing Zalgo's breaking of the rules.

---

---

Alr-
What t-
You and we need to have a chat.

---

---

(So...it's already started. Showtime's fast approaching.)
Well this might seem crazy, but in all honesty...when it comes to Null...
I've got nothing.
And when I mean nothing, I mean NOTHING. No plans, no connections, even no control over the guy.
You see, when the server was changed, Guardian ended up making a list of changes involving things he didn't like. Retcon after retcon. And then he came to Null. He didn't like what Ghost had planned for him, so he tried to change that. And well...error. Prehaps due to his nature of being a glitch, he was still under Ghost's reserved characters.
After thinking it over, he thought about the next best thing. He hated the fact that the guy was gonna be the big bag, so...He simply left a note saying that his purpose was altered. It didn't really, uh, do anything but to him...hopefully it would of gave the guy hope.
...
Null's been on a wild goose chase looking for that guy since. And when I took over reapership...he's been looking for me since. Furthermore, he's been looking for relics, such as that Mask of Truth he was looking for. With it...

---

---

...We need your help.
...You're lying. Just trying to-
We both know that mask can tell truth from lie, so do me a solid and just listen, will ya?
...Of course.
We've been looking for a way to catch you off guard for months...as you likely know from the system trying to hunt you down. Eventaully we stopped...right? Well... let me back up. Since you last were apart of us, everything's been changed and updated.
Charge Man, Yamato Man, I think Buster Shots became actually good, the whole shebang. However...along with this, there's been a unwanted change in code within the system itself. Someone managed to hack our hivemind and ended up turning them
Into those frogmen seeking to revert MMRPG to a previous version, correct.
...
Pipeline grabs Null by the collar, while Null simply looks down through the mask.
That little factoid hasn't ever been mentioned, so how. do. you. know. that?

---

---

As the statues fall down, Glass can be seen riding ontop one of them. He seems to be grasping his head before racing for Zalgo, fire in his eyes.

But of course.
Radiated Wraith turns around, casting aside a candy wrapper which floats onto the field before walking with Beta Shadow. For just a second, he could swore he saw a masked figured before it disappeared.

Radiated Wraith looks directly at Mammoth with a neutral expression, then at m3gam3n, before conjuring up another bag of treats.
Ah I? Well it's very simple.
Radiated Wraith rises from his seat and does a pose. Fanfare blares out from nowhere.
I'm THE Radiated Wraith! ...in the steel.

---

---

...So it is him.
In a flash, the five suddenly are sent back to the Ark.
Wh-what happened?!
Null can be seen snapping his fingers, conjuring up a variety of items before teleporting away.
...
...
...
...
What?
