Matt uppercuts Evil Mario into the air, who is then kicked down by Beta Shadow. Beta Devil waits for him down below, kicking him backwards... Right where the quiche is.

...Heh. You've done surprisingly well against me solo... But how about we find out if you can handle TWO threats!
* ...That's your plan? Come on, we've handled this guy before, and we can do it again!
* ...We handled him?
* Oh, don't pretend you were any more involved in it than I was and just roll with it.

---

Kirby pulls out the Star Rod and starts to channel lots of energy into it...

---

*I'll use their proper Instinct mugs later; A little preoccupied with other things at the moment.

WHAT!? Hang on, I thought you left the-

Both Beta Shadow and Beta Devil power up to their Instinct states and swarm Evil Mario. While the definitely clean hits serve only as much as chip damage, the demon has difficulty catching the evasion of Beta Shadow's Ultra Instinct, and cannot find a way to properly break through the pain-nullifying of Beta Devil's Berserk Instinct.

Grrrr... Why. Won't. You. Just. DIE!!!

Beta Devil suddenly gets behind Evil Mario, trapping him in a full nelson. Beta Shadow takes the opportunity to rapidly pummel Evil Mario in the gut.

Meanwhile, Matt gets up, watching Evil Mario gets pummeled.

... (They're doing a good job keeping him busy, but when it comes to actually damaging him...)
(...Perhaps he has a point. We rely too heavily on the mortals to do our jobs for us.)
(...But even if we shouldn't become too dependent on them, it doesn't mean we should consider them entirely unreliable.)

Both of you, move aside. Quickly!

Beta Shadow and Beta Devil moves out of the way just in time for Matt to deliver a powerful hook to Evil Mario's jaw, knocking the demon back far.

Theta fires a ki blast at a few of the minions to push them back.

...To answer an earlier question, it's, like, the same way he's keeping us out; It's not him who's doing the work, it's the Anti-Omni Meme. It's still that demon's voice... But, like, it is being carried out by the Anti-Omni Meme itself.
And, like, truth be told... Curing Glass was more out of luck than anything.

---

Evil Mario and Matt disappears in the blink of an eye, fighting at speeds that even the battle-experienced Beta Shadow and Beta Devil cannot follow. Eventually, however, the two reappear, their fists colliding. The force of all of their blows can be felt at once, pushing the three observers back slightly.

Not too shabby... I'll admit, I can tell you haven't been slacking.
Awfully kind words for a soon-to-be dead man... Especially since I can't say the same for YOU.

Evil Mario trips Matt over, then stomps on him.

Then again, such tends to happen when you let your job of keeping the balance to someone ELSE.

Matt responds with an uppercut, knocking Evil Mario into the air. Evil Mario quickly flips back around, unleashing a stream of fire from his hand, that Matt simply blocks.

Face it; You and those other "gods" have become overreliant on those so-called "heroes" to stop major threats to the Omniverse. Not that it helped any.
Zalgo. Beta Diablo. Grey Matter. Regulus. Trio.EXE. Hell, even NintendoPanda's Trio and the entirety of the Absurd Roleplay... None of them would even come CLOSE to a threat if you had just done your jobs and STOPPED THEM. Now witness what happens when the GODS rely too heavily on MORTALS...

The flames grow more intense, enveloping Matt!

Witness the end of order, and the rise of CHAOS!

Evil Mario cackles as Matt screams in pain from the flames...

Hey, you!

...Only to turn his attention to a voice right behind him.

...I like chaos as much as the next guy-
Not if the next guy is me.
-but I'm not about to be some bootleg character's servant.
...Is that so? I'll have you know that the source of my Anti-Omni energy FAR surpasses YOURS.
...Heh.
?

You think the Anti-Omni is your ally? But you merely adopted the Anti-Omni. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see the Omni until I was already a man. By then it was nothing to me but BLINDING. The Anti-Omni betrays you, because it belongs to ME!

...Heh. Good speech, Bane.
...The Torchic?
No, the Batman villain with the ma- Why would you even- Nevermind.

...Well, then. If you're so confident in your abilities...

The flames around Matt die out, giving the Mii a chance to breath.

...Then step forth and prove it.

Kirby dodges the attack, grabs Birthday Boy Blam, then throws him forwards. The evil voice then enters the mind of a few of Zalgo's other minions, as well, causing the group to get into a bit of a fighting circle.

Wait, doesn't that new anti-vigilantism law say we can't legally fight these guys?
Like, the law says nothing about self-defense, dude!
I think we can work with that.

Shaggy is indeed on the scene, looking at Glass. He then snaps his fingers, causing Evil Mario's voice (and the evil aura) to clear out.

...Something tells me he isn't gonna be the only one, man. We'd best keep on guard.

...Kirby's still-frozen body budges slightly.

---

Ignoring the Empty Core, Evil Mario stares down at the quiche that has not responded yet.

...Hm. Well, we won't get a response out of this until HighTower comes online.
Oh, well... I suppose he'll just have to miss out on the fun.

Matt quickly gets up.

...If you plan on taking me out...

Matt then powers up to his Mystic state.

...Then it won't be without a fight.

Meanwhile, a pair of individuals return to the arena to see what's going on...

...So, that's the asshole who tried to make me his puppet.
Think we can take him?
...And just who is this "we" you speak of?
Look, I'm no fan of it, either; But if he's powerful enough to stand to Matt, there's no way we're going to be able to take him on our own. We either work together, or we die.
...

...So, we just have to do something about the Empty Core, right? Good; With all this wrapping up and King being devolved into a non-threat, I'm just about ready for this arc to end.

Coda tries to create a portal to where the Empty Core is, but...

What the...? Why the hell isn't this...?

...I don't think so. NONE of you will be getting in the way of me destroying Matt once and for all!
Oh, and don't go thinking Cranky can save you with his precious Crystal Coconut... Because I hold the one thing that can counter the Omni-Meme's power.

...The Anti-Omni Meme!? But, like, how?

I dunno, maybe you shouldn't have given it to someone who was LAZY!

...Actually, yeah, that makes sense, man.

Anyone who is a member of Zalgo's army is suddenly swarmed by powerful missiles infused with alien technology and holy magic.

Alright, boys... Let's give these demons hell!

Any of Zalgo's army that is in Allegrotropolis is attacked on-sight by ASF soldiers, who are also protecting and evacuating citizens. Sergeant Fanfare can be seen in the main square leading the charge.

---

As Beta Shadow's group (minus Beta Shadow) leaves the dimension themselves (Theta using the Phantom Ruby to keep the portal open long enough in case Zalgo tries to close it), Matt prepares to walk through himself...

...Only for a hand to grab him.

YOU won't be going ANYWHERE.
!!!

Before any objections can be made, Evil Mario shoves Theta- as well as any hero who has not left yet- into the portal, and seals it closed. He then shoves Matt into the ground.

...You know, I've worked my ass off, trying to create the perfect revenge scheme. To finally be rid of you, and the rest of you worthless, unreliable "gods".
...But my plan has done nothing but fall apart. And any attempt at fixing it only ever resulted in it happening again. And it really ticks me off.

Matt gets up, only for Evil Mario to kick him back down.

...But now, this is my final chance at redeeming my scheme by achieving my ultimate goal... Killing you. And unlike the last time... You have no one to help you. I, on the other hand...

Evil Mario then holds out an orb of Trio.EXE's power... which now holds the last 1%.

Those foolish guards of Zalgo's... They basically saved me the trouble of searching the globe and found the last piece FOR me. And now...

Evil Mario then holds out the quiche that holds the first bit of Trio.EXE's power.

...To begin your end, foolish Mii!

Evil Mario then shoves the orb of power into the quiche...

...I see.
Well, thanks, anyways. I think we should head back; It sounds to me like Zalgo's already broke the deal, and-

Suddenly, the sound of dimensions being torn open, an individual landing behind Beta and Wraith, and dimensions being closed are heard.

...Of course he'd be hiding like a coward. Well, he should be around here somewhere, so-

Beta Devil spots Beta Shadow as quickly as it took Beta Shadow to notice it was him.

...
You've gotta be SQUAWK!ing kidding me right now.

K I L L
No.
K I L L
No.
K I L L !
Alright, kill who, exactly!? There's not a single sign of civilization for miles! That's the entire reason I'm here!
Oh, come on. You want to destroy all existence and end the cycle, don't you?
And do so, I will. But on my OWN time.
Oh, come now. It's Halloween! Surely you want to take advantage of that, don't you?
...You know what? I think I do.
Good job on talking to me for so long, jack. I know EXACTLY where you are. So, you'd better get ready...

Beta Devil then spawns a demonic sword, then powers up to his Ikari state...

...Because I'm coming STRAIGHT FOR YOU!

Beta Devil then slashes a hole between dimensions before deforming, grabbing the slash hole he made and spreading it right open. He then grabs the Devil Acorn and hops right into the hole before it seals itself back up.

...So, we have some resisters... No matter. There are enough non-resisters to go around and spread the desired chaos on Earth... Not to mention that my message shall spread across the rest of the universe, as well.
Now, then... I suppose I should get ready for the TRUE main event.

Coda just catches the fireball with his bare hand, then dissipates it with a burst of energy.

...And now... It's personal.

Coda then moves his hand over to the cage of hostages, then fires a powerful laser that blasts it apart!

If you don't know how to fight then get out of the crossfire. This ends now.

The group prepares for a brawl.

(...)

---

Suddenly, a hypnotic voice falls under any entity on Earth that is affiliated with evil, darkness, or both...

K I L L

Surprising who exactly?

Kirby dodges the attack, then lands on top of SCP-682, jumping off of it to kick at Zalgo!

...Hang on. If Zalgo broke his own rules, then doesn't that mean we have free reign to intervene?
...If any of you say "We NeVeR sAiD lOrD zAlGo HaD tO fOlLoW tHeM" or "OnE wRoNg MoVe AnD wE'lL kIlL tHeSe HoStAgEs" or anything else predictable, I will kick your SQUAWK! regardless.

---

After walking a good distance away from the battle, Beta Shadow stops and turns to Wraith.

...Right. I'm just gonna go ahead and get to the point.
What exactly are your character plans on the entity known as Null?

The rabbit keeps running, fast enough that the three can just barely see him in the distance. Speaking of distance, the amount of it between the rabbit and the three is slowly starting to grow wider and wider...

(...In the middle of a fight? Sorry, but I'm not a fool. And you've already proven that you have no desire for a peaceful resolution.)

Kirby proceeds to grab Zalgo, then sets him on the ground and stomps on him repeatedly!

---

...Radiated Wraith... Where have I-

Beta Shadow suddenly remembers something.

...Wait. Can I speak with you in private about something?

The rabbit sidesteps the owl, then keeps running.

...Poyo? Poy poyoyo poy, poy poyo... Poyo... (...Really? I'll admit I'm a bit of a glutton, but I'm not that gullible... I think...)

Kirby prepares for whatever Zalgo might be thinking...

Sorry, but not interested!

The rabbit then spins into a ball, then slips out of the Eyesaur's arms!

(Whew, gotta be more careful out-maneuvering these guys...)

---

Kirby avoids the lava pillars, then knocks Zalgo back with a kick.

Yipes!

The figure runs at incredibly high speeds to get away from Red Man.

Meanwhile, Kirby is tackled by the bullet, but also clings onto it tightly!

POY-O! (Take THIS!)

Kirby then kicks Zalgo down to the floor!

Meanwhile, Beta Shadow looks over to Wraith.

Yeah, there are a lot of people around here... Not sure how to do a proper headcount.
...Hey, wait. What's you're name exactly?

POYO! (I'm not done yet!)

Kirby lands on the ground, then rushes at Zalgo from all sides at surprising speed, pummeling him left and right!

---

(Don't worry, little guy. I'll think of something...)

The figure thinks for a moment, then looks over to the mad scientist figure.

...Hey. You do some... Er, questionable experiments. Do you have a scalpel or something on you by any chance?
...Hm...

The figure checks his coat pockets, then pulls out a scalpel.

Don't know why you want it, but knock yourself out! Preferably from blood loss; I'd like to have a sample of it sometime.
...Disturbing... But, thanks. I guess?

The rabbit figure then tries to sneak his way over to the cage...

Kirby floats above the wave of lava.

(Alright, time to show what my training taught me!)

Kirby focuses, then unleashes a barrage of star-shaped homing blasts of ki!

Kirby blocks most of the fireballs, inhaling the last one and spitting it right back at Zalgo!

Meanwhile, the figure thinks to himself.

(...Should I help them? I don't know if it'll make Zalgo upset and ruin the fight, but...)
(...No. I can't just sit by and watch them be held prisoner.)

The rabbit proceeds to think of a way to free the prisoners...

...You know, I'm real disappointed I'm wasting my time on this... Halloween is my favorite time of the year! So much potential for experiments!
Meh, I'm not too crazy about it.



...So, you invited the villains too, huh?
Eh, I didn't see why not.
...Wait. Don't tell me you invited-
Move aside, you blubbering dolts!

Meanwhile at the villains side, a particular individual is pushing them aside for front-row seats. Three robots follow right behind him.

(Event Music) ♫ Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - Theme of Dr. Robotnik ♫

That's better... Now, then. Go, Zalgo! Crush that little pink pest into dust!



(Seriously? Not only is he here, but he's also on their side!?)

---

*Not quite sure if the Ruby-Spears cartoons appeared during Saturday Mornings, but I'm going with it.

Kirby manages to survive the attack by Blocking. He then jumps right towards Zalgo, grabbing and suplexing him!

---

A strange figure sitting with Coda's group looks over to the Chao.

(Huh? You need something little guy?)

---

Blocking - A technique used by Kirby characters, similar to Shielding. Reduces the damage dealt by attacks and completely nullifies knockback.
