Wait... If Jazz still managed to become Pseudoreaper... Then what's locking him out of admin perms?

...

A purple flash emits from Psi's head for a brief second.

...Search up "End Roleplay Protocol",

Raising an eyebrow, Beta Shadow does exactly that.

QUERY: What is End Roleplay Protocol?

SEARCHING........

END ROLEPLAY PROTOCOL FOUND.

ACCESS DENIED. INSERT PASSWORD.

Beta Shadow thinks for a moment, then types in the first possible password that pops in his mind...

ACCESS GRANTED.

END ROLEPLAY PROTOCOL
Speaker: ERR
Result: Denied by all members due to the individual not being a part of the system, as well as other issues listed below.

Purpose: These "users" have spent too long with these roleplays that it gets in the way of what is important: Work. School. Responsibility. Every character of text these roleplayers write, every colored pixel the artists put down- It's nothing but a distraction. If this goes on, all of them are going to be nothing but slackers who care more about having fun than working towards the money they need to properly LIVE. That's why I created this protocol: A protocol that will prevent users from adding new data for ANYTHING within the "Roleplay" and "Fanart" section of the community. Eventually, all roleplays will fade, and people can go back to being productive with their lives. And best of all, neither these system bots NOR any moderator, administrator, or webmaster can control whether this protocol is active: Only ME.

Issue: Aside from what these laziness-encouraging System bots believe to be issues, the REAL issues stem from two problems: For one, the code couldn't be developed completely before the System realized what I had done; Because of this, it only works for those under the "Pseudoreaper" tag. And as IF any of those guys are going to be granted the chance- or even the permission- from their Reapers to do such a thing. The second issue lies in the fact that, in order to sneak this protocol in here to begin with, I had to link it to the "Reaper Lock" Protocol, meaning that I can only activate or deactivate it if the Reaper Lock Protocol is active. Perhaps this wasn't my best plan... In addition to being written by an unauthorized individual- of which is uncertain how they managed to bypass security- this protocol is incredibly harmful to the overall growth and longevity of MMRPG, on top of being incredibly unstable- Especially since a virus is attached to the protocol that prevents it from being removed. The virus itself appears to evade all anti-virus measures, even after any updates to virus prevention software.

Additional Comment (12-1-20) - Someone ACTUALLY allowed for a Pseudoreaper to create their own thread? Imagine that. And it was that of BETA SHADOW'S, no less- The fact that he trusted NINJA GHOST, one of his most dangerous VILLAINS- with the role ALONE is baffling to me, let alone a thread like THIS. He's even gone on to make a part TWO. Now I just gotta wait until someone activates that "Reaper Lock" Protocol- if that even happens. This "Chaos Zone" seems popular... Perhaps enough that, if I manage to pull the plug on it, it could very well discourage anyone from doing such laziness-inducing activities ever again!

And furthermore, it'll make that Upsilon PAY for replacing me with that... Emotionless TOASTER. All I need is to wait...

...Oh, yeah. Guess I should leave a name since apparently the System found a way to remove it.

(Obviously, none of this reflects my true opinion on anything)

Beta Shadow returns to the Laptop. After a few minutes of trying to get the screen to come back up again, he manages to return to the main area of the console.

REQUEST: ASSIGN "Pseudoreaper" ROLE TO ENTITY "Jazz.data"

...So, what. The Reapers that currently are remain to be Reapers? Alright... So, what issue does this cause, exactly?
I don't know... But I have a theory.

Earlier, Jazz was trying to assign the role of your "Pseudoreaper"- in other words, the owner of your Alternate Account- to somebody else... And, ultimately, Missingno. convinced him to grant that role to himself.
...At the same time, however, someone activated the protocol- not quite sure who or what, though. So while Jazz's name was still attached to the account, the Reaper Lock activated before Jazz could officially become Pseudoreaper- meaning that he has no access to the Admin Perms of Chaos Zone's data files.
Data files...?

Perhaps we can explain that.

The group turns around to see Pi Android and myse-
...Er, right, sorry. It's been a while since I've done any physical appearances.
RECALL HOW GLITCH-LIKE ENTITIES SUCH AS SUBJECT "Missingno." ARE ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE WORLD'S CODING TO CREATE OBJECTS OR WARP TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. EACH UNIVERSE IN LOCATION "Mega Man RPG Prototype Omniverse" IS COMPRISED OF VARIOUS FILES. EACH FILE IS SEPARATED INTO UNIVERSES OR WORLDS, SUBJECTS- SUCH AS PLOTLINES OR EVENTS- LOCATIONS, ITEMS OR OBJECTS, USERS, CHARACTERS, AND ABILITIES. MECHANICS SUCH AS THOSE FOUND IN ROLPLAY "Robot Master Mystery Dungeon" CAN BE FOUND, AS WELL, ALBEIT OPTIONALLY.
Basically, Chaos Zone- as well as any other Roleplay in this Omniverse- is sort-of like an "Executable File" that's constantly running. And it is the "Users" file that dictates who can edit what files.

In other words, Brash cannot suddenly make Worship have human skin unless RedBomber permits it... And only the Pseudoreaper who created this roleplay can manage the server migration that is supposed to happen roughly 65 posts from now.
...At Post #6999?
Let's be real here: RedBomber going "Yay! I'm the 7000th post" like he did the other last thousandth posts is inevitable. We either do it early, or witness as a joke post doom us all.
Wait, why would not migrating before the 7000th post doom us all?
Because of THIS.

Psi pulls out a tablet of sorts...

---

A strange distortion swallows up the entire galaxy in the blink of an eye.

---

Everyone is speechless at the sight.

...What in the hell is causing this...?
...If the roleplay cannot be transferred to a new thread- In other words, if the roleplay's "server" cannot be migrated- the only other option would be to pull the plug on the roleplay entirely. This massive distortion is the result of a sentient universe panicking over such a probability.
Wait, sentient?
Who do you think that black-text narrator was, Morgan Freeman?
...Yes?

...So, how do we make Jazz Pseudoreaper with this Reaper Lock active?
...Isn't Beta Shadow a Moderator? This programming seems to imply it was written by the System... And I know "Moderator" isn't the same as "Webmaster", but doesn't that grant him more of a say in, let's say, the character who runs the account?
...Well, if nothing else, it's worth a shot.

...Right. So far, we've decided that we will comply with Walter's new law, we will be keeping a VERY keen eye on Beta Devil, and we will NOT worry about however Rotom decides to celebrate Christmas this year. We don't want the Brash Crew to needlessly barricade themselves like LAST year*.
Moving on from that, our next topic is... Whatever that clicking sound was. Did anyone else hear it?
Kinda. It was a little faint for me, but-

Suddenly, a portal appears in the room. Theta appears through the portal alongside Gamma Jewel, Psi Fortell, and a collar-dragged Beta Devil.

We have a problem. Take a look at this:

Theta pulls out a laptop which seems to have some form of control panel open. A singular phrase stands out to Beta Shadow...

REAPER LOCK PROTOCOL ENGAGED

Reaper lock...?

Beta Shadow types into the console...

*Reference: Page 28, Post #15 - After having overheard about Rotom's (the RSB character) excursions during the holidays, the Brash Crew decided to bunker up Doppler Labs... Only for Rotom to have been absent and making the uproar for nothing. ...That is, until Rotom's Mirror Dimension counterpart shows up 3 posts later.

Two figures appear in front of Tails Doll and Sanic.

I see you have followed the calling card's instructions... Excellent.
Now we only need to wait on our other allies.

Boyfriend continues to wander around the empty void, looking for an exit.

...Gee, this place seems to have no end... I wonder how I'm going to find an exi-
*
WHA!?
...I mean- BEH!? (WHA!?)

A strange figure emerges from the darkness...





Bebop skebap... (You could say that...)

**

Bebap bop ska be ba po? (Is there even a way out of here?)



Skado bep? (And that is?)

Suddenly, a strange shiny Celebi appears behind Gold...


...Skedabo beh, ski ba bap bebop bep. (...Sorry to break it to ya, but I'm not a Pokemon trainer.)

Beh, ba bo bebap ski baboop... (Well, I usually do rap battles...)

*See hover-over text for translation.
**Referring to the Dead Zone portals.

Jazz continues staring at the screen, pondering.

...We are running out of time.
I know.
You haven't been doing anything.
I know!
Then why the hell won't you do something!?!?
Because I don't know, alright!? I kept thinking of every possibility, but nothing's clicking! And neither Legend Beta NOR anyone in Beta Team are answering my damn calls!
Why the hell can't you do it, then!?
Because I can't trust myself with it! The last time I had control over Beta Shadow's alt account, I unleashed Proto MKII into the RMMD world, got Prototype killed, and even now the effects of me letting the Wily Omega loose on the world could end up getting the Skull Bros. and Enker KILLED-
GET THE BLOODY HELL OVER YOURSELF!

Jazz quickly becomes silent.

I'm tired of your CONSTANT pessimistic attitude. "Oh boo hoo! I did a lot of bad things and I will never be forgiven, and never should be! Waa! WAA!" The only thing that made it more annoying for me hearing it come from Zalgo is the fact that I already had to hear it from YOU for much longer.
"Oh! I shouldn't cause Team Prototype any more troubles!" Bitch, if they wanted to kick your ass over it, they would've fucking done so a LONG TIME AGO. [u]They moved on from it. You should try it yourself, instead of CONSTANTLY complaining about it.
And that one thing in Gensokyo? It's not like you actually went THROUGH with it. And even then, you only wanted to do so to get rid of a few bad eggs; You even decided to have Libra try to evacuate the city. I guarantee that if anyone even remembered it happened, or even knew it was you who did it, they'd have already fucking moved on by now. And wouldn't you know it, that's the second time I brought it up. It's almost as if there's a GOD DAMN POINT to that.
So if you won't stop complaining, get the HELL over every little thing you've done, and fix the god damn server migration issue, then I WILL.

...
...I'll, uh... It's going to take a few minutes.
Good. I'm gonna go relieve some stress.

...Should we call off our plans, then?
...If this "Boyfriend" managed to avoid us AND Lord X, then he is to be recognized for his stubborn persistence, if nothing else; It should be assumed that he could escape at any time, and that we should carry on with our plan... Even if he failed to the "parody".
...That said... He has indeed proven himself to be beatable; If the FOOL can manage to achieve victory, then it can be assumed that it is something we can accomplish as well.
Hm... Perhaps his victory was attained by other means? It is possible that we could pull a trick of our own to lure the Boyfriend into failure... Disorientation, perhaps?
...Maybe... Or, with that demon of a girlfriend not around to assist him, perhaps we can distract him- or even crush him outright- through more... physical means.

The figure cackles as the two disappear from the area.

The figure smiles a wide, maniacal smile.

Well, about THAT...

...Well, you see...

Pico ing bails.

Boyfriend gets up, holding his head.

Bep... Bap boop beep? (Ugh... Where am I?)
Dead. Apparently your soul was trapped in a fruit loop, and it was broke and your soul was destroyed in the process.
...Bap, bep bo be- (...Wait, then how am I-)
Don't know, don't care. State your name for the record?
Beh boo bap. (Boyfriend.xml.)
...Stupid name, but alright, then.

Beta X pulls out a book and reads through it.

Let's see here. Boyfriend... dot... xml...
...Huh.
Bep? (What?)
It's saying here that the plot dictates that you aren't allowed to die yet. If I send you to Heaven OR Hell, Pi's gonna get on my about it.

Beta X closes the book.

Guess you get to live. Lucky you, or whatever.
Beep? Bap boop! (Really? That's awesome!)
...Beep bap bop...? (...The exit would be...?)
Don't know, not my problem. It's probably to your right somewhere. Good luck.

Beta X leaves BF alone in Purgatory.

...

Pico just... Shoots the artifact to pieces.

I won't repeat again. Let. Him. Go.

...I see. Disappointing, but perhaps for the best that-

Sunky suddenly hears a crash, which is slightly muffled for the figure.

...What was that?

---

A certain individual points a gun at Sunky.

You have 5 seconds to let him go.

Bf? BF!!! Come on, it's been well over a month now!

A familiar figure wanders around looking for a certain individual...

Ugh, where did that strange, blue creature take him, anyways?*
You're looking for a blue creature, child?

Girlfriend turns over to a large, strange creature hiding in the shadows...

Follow me into the forest. I believe I may have spotted it in there.
I dunno... Who are you, anyways?
I am Hypno... And perhaps with a little song, I can... persuade you to follow.

---

...Meanwhile, two figures watch GF and Hypno from the shadows...

...She is distracted. All is according to plan.
A splendid thing that I was able to call back on that favor from an old friend of mine**...
Indeed... Your contributions to my plans of revenge have been rather helpful...
...Even if one of your suggestions on new allies is rather questionable.
Ah, but just wait; He will be a helpful asset to our cause in the end.
Should we even need him... I can guarantee one thing, however; Little "Boyfriend" has no chance of escaping our clutches THIS time.

Wherever Tails Doll is, a blood-stained note appears in his hands:

*RECAP (Page 280, Post #9) After dealing with Sonic.EXE, Majin Sonic, and Lord X (See: Vs. Sonic.EXE Mod v1), Boyfriend was dragged away by Sunky to make him his friend.
** The Lavender Town Ghost; While it only appears as a part of Missingno.'s singing sprites, I felt it would be fitting.

Reminder: I only intend on claiming (vanilla) Sonic.EXE and Majin Sonic; Lord X is still available for anyone who wants him. Same goes for "Faker" Sonic, especially since I don't quite know who this one is or what version of Sonic.EXE he's from, if anything.

Oh, and don't worry about Monochrome/Lost Silver or Missingno., I have an idea or two in mind for that...

Eyy cool I'm not the only one posting here anymore. Might as well do the next character.

Bt Ghost goes over to L to help him recover.

Alright, I think this has gone on long enough. Cover me, guys!

As Legend Beta charges up a powerful attack, Sergeant Man, Sergeant Man Z, Ninja Man, Ninja Man Z, Bt Ghost Classic, and Ninja Ghost provide distracting covering fire. Meanwhile, Lydian moves to a safer area to watch the whole thing go down.

@MegaMan1027 : I have already claimed Punk. Please look at this list before claiming any other characters to avoid making this same mistake.

Technically, Quick Man and Knight Man were also claimed, but as alternate-universe counterparts, so you're still good with those two.

@TheHighTower :

Tepid Man picks up the Power Drive!

NEW ITEM DATA!

@RedBomber :

If you insist.

Automated Turn

Aqua Fishtot moves 3 spaces right, 1 space up, and another space right.
Aqua Fishtot picks up the Life Pellet!

Triton Bubble moves 1 space down and 2 spaces right.

Ambience uses Buster Shot on Metal Man!
...You know, I could eliminate this traitor here-and-now...
...But I always enjoy popping the bubbles of weak and pathetic Bubble Man models.

3 Damage dealt!

What the...!? That should’ve ripped you to shreds!

---

@The wind :

Alas, I did the math, and apparently you went over 1 point of the max stats for Incinerator Man. Fortunately, however, that is a simple fix: I just deducted a point from his Attack stat (which ultimately shouldn’t affect anything).

Also, for future reference, from this point forward, all new teams will start off as the level equal to the (rounded) AVERAGE of all current team members. In this case, the average level is ~3.

In any case, Tedd, you may either buy items from a shop, go to a dungeon, or wait until the next story event... Or perhaps even strike a conversation with either Wraith’s team or Brash’s? (Wraith and Brash may also choose the same options if they desire... As well as Pokee as soon as they decide to stop being idle.)

Doopliss gets dragged towards Scorpion, who grabs him by the torso and stares directly into his eyes.

Did you really think I'd fall for such a trick? I saw straight through your cheep disguise.
I just wanted to take away your hopes of escaping at just the right moment, so that I could discourage you from EVER attempting this again.

Doopliss smirks.

A fair plan indeed... Except you've forgotten about someone.
What...!?

Scorpion looks over to see the Sniper Joe already in the machine, said machine being activated.

No! Get back h-

Suddenly, the machine blares a blinding light. The moment the light dies out, the Sniper Joe is nowhere to be seen.

HA! What guard you turned out to be! Why did that pompous jerk hire you, anywa-

Scorpion throws Doopliss into the air, then leaps into the air to kick him to the ground.

I've only let one of the two of you slip away; Rest assured, I will not be letting it happen again.

Four individuals approach a strange contraption...

Woah! That's a cool-looking machine... What is it?



This is known as a Reincarnation Machine. Before the Dead Zone fiasco, the Wily of Chaos Zone built this machine so that he could reincarnate himself with his old memories so he could continue his evil deeds... Of course, I stopped him before he could accomplished this, but something compelled me to keep it intact. Never thought I'd actually use it, though.
Wait, if Dr. Wily built this but never used it, and you also never used it, does that mean this thing was never even tested to see if it works?



...Come to think of it, no, I don't believe it has been.
...Well, that's fantastic.
Look, I may be the person who runs the place, but I'm no supernatural being; If we're going to reincarnate you, then unless you know Xerneas' number, this is the only way we can do it.
Better than nothing, right? Let's go for it.

---

Doopliss and the Sniper Joe approach the machine.

...Well, I'll be. The crazy contraption is actually real. And here I thought it was just some rumor made by the poor saps down here trying to spark interests of escape.
What'd I tell ya, slick? This is your one-way ticket outta this joint.
Wait... Only me? I thought you wanted out, too.
Eh, I'll find my own way; I'm not too interested in becoming someone I am not.
...You literally just shapeshifted to get us here.
And I would proudly do it again. Besides, it'll be that same trick that'll get me past my first step back to the land of the living.

Yep; An extra life is awaiting the both of us, and there ain't nothin' they can do to-

Suddenly, a grappling weapon pierces into Doopliss' back...!

!
!
...Get over here.
