I think not.
Vangus seems to be pained.
Suddenly, thousands of Grey Monkies, Bladesmatters, and Meta Brigands appear.

Wait...Something's wr

Mighty, The Halberd, and Meta Knight find themselves in a dark room.

What happened?
.You just crashed the game
Oh...
Quin looks to the group and...
Welcome! How's everyone's day so far?

Prototype is poked again.
Poke.

When this fails, Skeleton Jack wanders around, looking for an exit.

But I want to win!
.You should probably stop while you're ahead .You're going to make the players upset and not want to participate or just end it right here
That's the idea!
?What
Most people win by using raw force ,but no one ever considers a game of stubborness.
...Are you suggesting
The more unfair I make things, the more likely they'll just straight up quit. For every showstopper, I'll simply write...

No u
As the Hope Energy blasts Grey Monkey and almost removes the Grey Matter off of Brass Monkey, three despair energy beams come out of Grey Monkey and directly counteract the force beams with the third one hitting Mighty.

---

When they give up, then my kin will take over everything, bit by bit. They won't even lift a finger at us when we introduce ourselves to their world because they'll be so fed up. It's genius.
...You're sure you've thought this plan through?

Probably Myspace

What about if there was an object floating in space? Alternatively, what about the soles of one's shoes? Technically, wouldn't that be a surface and thus a ceiling? In terms of an explanation, if there was something to step on, then by that logic, the sole would count as a ceiling.

As Bandana Dee Moon Drops off of Grey Monkey, the Hope Energy blasts Grey Monkey's face, causing him to yelp in pain and throw himself towards the ground to try and dodge the blasts. Meanwhile, his lower half arises to ensnare Bandana though use of its tail.

No words huh? Fair enough. Let's let our weapons do the talking!
Meta Brigand swings his axe around to form a Mach Tornado of his own.

As the soldiers on the Halberd simply stare there, it occurs to Martin that Dark Bladesmatter is nowhere to be seen.

Where's the heart? It has to be around here.
Dark Bladesmatter nonchalantly cuts up any Grey Matter that come near him. Surprisingly quickly, he spots a red object nestled in an eye.
There. Let's end this.
With a resounding slash, Bladesmatter cuts at .
...
...
Wasn't the heart here?

The Bladesmatter is knocked to the floor by a eye beam.(I swear this it was a coincidence that we both fired eye lasers) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the entire area is now being bombarded by eye lasers to counteract the BFGs and the Halberd.

Well I got something that will really knock their socks off once they do show up.

I call every single character in existance and to exist that's as of this exact moment in time not already included in the roleplay.

As Mighty flings his arms about, waves upon waves of tentacles are cut in half. The crescents fly far enough to cut through the eyes, revealing a purple sky. Mighty suddenly finds his arms grabbed as a figure appears in front of him. As the crescent energy cuts through him, the entity headbutts him.

Remember me?
Grey Monkey came into being!

Meta Knight suddenly runs into a wall of tentacles. As he tears through, he's dive kicked out of the Shuttle Loop.

So...you've arrived.
Father...

appeared!
Meta Brigand raises his axe to engage!

Prototype gets poked by someone.

Poke.

[size-large]UKR Bunker[/size_large]

---

You absolutely sure of this?
Positive. The footage clearly shows this drone somehow managing to rip apart the entrance to the bunker.
And the person beside you is the only living witness to encounter the drone, correct?
Yes.
Okay, so as I was hanging around in the Command Quarters looking for the coffee machine, I heard a buzzing sound. When I looked around, I thought I saw a fly. Naturally, I tried to squash it. Thing was...that fly had a laser cannon. As I cried out in pain, I ended up stumbling out the door. When I went back in, the room was empty.
Empty?
I mean like everything was gone. No files, no table, no laser cannon wielding fly, nothing. Thankfully, the coffee machine was still intact.
Yes...thank goodness not all was lost.
Does Kilroy know yet?
I spoke to him earlier about it. I'll have to give him the new details when he wakes up. You are dismissed.

As the solider and Grappler leave the room, C.Air barges past them.

Greetings Commander Air, how-
That's no drone.
What?
That drone is really a shrunken down version of this one ship I was on.* It's called the Halberd.
Are you sure? How do you know that it's not simply a drone replica?
There's no way on Earth that the drone and that ship aren't one and the same. If you don't believe me, then let me pass. I'll tell Kilroy myself.
No. No I don't think you will. Kilroy needs his rest.
With all due respect, he's a talking wall drawing! He doesn't need rest! We need to stop them before they ruin everything.
...Under his orders, we are not to disturb him.
Screw his orders.
You should watch your words carefully. Those very words are what started so many rebellions. It's bad enough that one of our armies are on that ship.
So you do know that it's a ship.

...
Yes. Yes both Kilroy and I know it's the Halberd. In fact, it was me that disabled the defenses and let the ship in. Under his orders of course.
..But why?
...Classified.
But I'm the commander of his army!
And I am the commander of his intelligence. Like I said; it's classified. Maybe after everything is over, we can talk about it. Till then...classified.
...Fine.

C.Air leaves without another word as Balto goes to lock the door. A light in Balto's headset goes off as he turns around.

Run the calculations again.
96% chance they'll be successful.
And what's the chance that we'll find an alternative way of travel before they win?
12%.
...Well...better than last time...

GammaGuardian, er...I. I leave the pizzeria, though not before buying an already made pizza.

---

As the eyes get blasted away from the Halberd's weaponry, the UKR soldiers...do jack squat.

I mean...what can we do? All the guns are manned and if we go out there, we'll only add to their force.
Strange...these robots seem familiar.
They were with us on Pop Star. They formed that one dome, remember? I've already written that idea down.
I get that, but I mean it feels like I've seen them before that.

Blackreach ForestSeptember 2nd

---

As his friends lie on the ground, a single soldier can only look on in horror as was he thought were his allies turn into monsters. With a resounding burp, a soldier is tossed aside like a soda can. The soldier saw this same fate happen to the remaining soldiers of his group and to himself. He doesn't know why, but as a droid passes him, he tries to call out but fails.
I'm going to die...and I don't even feel scared. What is wrong with me?
Another droid flies by him, scanning the corpses. With the last of his energy, he raises his hand before shutting down.

Halberd, Parallel Dimension, Den of Loneliness

---

Uh sir? You okay? Sir? S-
Hey! I remember now!
The soldier grips where his heart should be before realizing that he's mainly a machine. Martin seems to stare off in space. Meanwhile, more and more eyes appear, quickly replacing the ones that get blasted. In the midst of the battle, a low booming sound can barely be heard. More and more tentacles come from everywhere, some carrying scythes, others guns. Each of them focus solely on the Halberd. A direct shot connects, but does little save for scratching the paint.

You're right on the ball partner! After all, everything's set. The lights...
A hazy yellow light radiates from the ground below them.
The camera...
Thousands of mirrors appears in front of them, each radiating a hazy shade of green.
And the...The...huh. I've seem to have forgotten what comes next...

The Halberd's radar starts to beep constantly as the entire thing goes white.

Oh! I remember now! It's the-

---

Space, The Final Frontier

---

From each of the five points of Pop Star, a laser of grey shoots out, covering any planets in a wave of Grey Matter. The planet starts to rotate slowly, leaning closer and closer to earth.

---

Action!
Nuin then looks to the Halberd.
Oh...only one of you would get that. Well don't worry!

Thousands of green eyes appear everywhere.
You're all about to get in on the action!
Now remember everyone to have fun in the Parallel! Except for you Kirby! Bye!
Nuin disappeared as thousands of tentacles try to skewer the mini Halberd!

---

By that logic, wouldn't anyone helping you fight Diablos count as interfering with the plot?

A small chunk of reality starts to shift before Jazz and crew.
I won't let you do what exactly?

---

Deep within Null's mind.

---

Am I evil? I don't want to hurt others, but I never jump at any opportunity to prevent death or pain. I don't wield the blade, but I smithed it. Hmm...an interesting concept.

Proto Man DS? looks down as his hands.

And yet when I do try, it never goes the way I want it. As such, would I be evil for trying if I know it would have no impact on the situation. In fact, all it would do is delay time to address the main problem; my supposed destructive capabilities.
...
Wait. If my reaper says that I'm destined to destroy the Chaos Zone, then how exactly would that work? Would it be the inhabitants or...the spirit? How would either work when there's so many countermeasures that every single other reaper could make?
[ UGH! What am I supposed to do!?!]{}

The Grappler loses sight of the Halberd. The darkness blinks once more as another soldier comes out to slash at the Halberd.
Vangus:.Not so fast
Silent Soldier:Huh?
The soldier splits in half as the Grappler looks on in terror. Vangus then looks to the Halberd and explodes into an inescapable black hole. The Halberd isn't even given the chance to escape as they find themselves in a strange plane of existence. The black hole closes to prevent the base from being destroyed.

*REDACTED BORNING 2000 character explanation for why Null needs to reevaluate his life choices and thus gives up complete control*

In that case...
Nuin began to twitch erratically before the grey goop grows to cover Null's body.
Let's greet our guests.

Well...this is problematic.

If we continue, we'll draw attention away from Beta Devil, thus reducing training time. If we succeed, then a bigger threat in the form of that Diablo form will wipe this universe out.

We are the bigger threat.

And how do you know that?

Because...friendship is the ultimate power! He's all alone and we've got each other! Nothing can stop us! And once our friendship power takes out Kirby and friends, he'll be next!

...But will the universe be left in a better place?

---

Ow! *REDACTED*
The Grappler lets go of the Mini-Halberd, though not before swatting it away, sending it tumbling down into a table.

As R.O.B. finds the perfect route, the darkness blinks. A pair of hands encircle the Halberd as it desperately tries to fly away.

---

Are you really all that worried?
Worried? No. Confident? Yes.
In what?
In that they'll fail and that nothing I've done will matter.
Okay...I know that you're supposed to be the perfect vessel for dread, but I think you might need to chill out. Just a little.
You don't understand. I tried so hard to change things. I did millions of calculations, thousands of tiny adjustments, and everything still led up to this moment.
To what? Being one? With our powers put together, we can achieve both our desires! This universe will become the perfect feeding grounds and you'll get your freedom. You should be jumping with joy right now!
...
I can't understand you. Yes, I'm using you, but you're still my friend. You know that, right? Why can't you explain why you're so depressed?
Because all you know is joy. Because all I know is sadness. You've only sapped MY emotions. You've haven't felt a single negative emotion in your life because I've barely felt a single positive emotion in my life; only imitated it. You can't feel what you haven't felt yet.
...
Don't you have a army to speak to and a monologue to prepare?
...
Yes of course.

Scareten: I did it!
Final Fantasy I victory music started to play.
Scareten leveled up!
Scareten gained a new skill!

I feel personally attacked on the first post and I haven't even gotten to the Weapon Archives yet.

See? I'm not the only one that knows about this. When the forums shut down-
You just need to kick back and relax. When we're done, the heavens will shatter and that pink menace will be on a silver platter.
Nuin(Does that work?) looks down at the broken mirror.
From another dimension huh. Wonder if that would of been this universes counterpart? Or maybe my contingency plan...
We don't have time to remain idle, we're wanted on the set.
Nuin sighs before teleporting to who knows where.

---

The Halberd is successful in this attempt.
Martin: Okay. If we take a right, it should lead us into the Command Quarters. I...I don't know where to look for a mirror after that...

Well! If it isn't the hopebringer!
I've heard all about you! And thanks to Mas- this host's body, I can now see everything you've done too.
And might I just say that if it wasn't for this body's ability to create so much despair, after seeing what you've done to my kin I would feel so inclined to *REDACTED *REDACTED* *LONG PAGES OF REDACTED TEXT* Babe the Blue Ox!

Null regains his composure after his outburst.

But you're not here for the three post monologue, your here to save Root.
Root suddenly goes stiff.
Mighty...this was all fate. Please...understand that...
There's a slight problem with that though...
I wanted things to go differently...
Root slowly dissolves into a greyish goop.
You can't save what yet needs saving. Worry not though, for you were right about one thing...
A mirror appears below Mighty.
This was a distraction. Tootles.
The ceiling suddenly slams down, sending Mighty straight into the mirror and into a one-way wacky track into the Parallel Dimension, Earth. Null is ensuring that no means of escape or undoing this action are possible save for mirrors. Unfountently, a ban on mirrors in the Dimension was passed over 50 years ago.

---

As the Halberd travels through the facility, an alarm sounds off due to the door being destroyed. You find yourself in a long corridor with two doors. Both could be opened by breaking the glass window, though it might draw attention. During this, a swarm of soldiers rushes from an door on the right yet fail to see the baby Halberd. While going through this door would be easier, it might not lead anywhere or even into a group of soldiers.

---

Scareten was stricken with confusion! Scareten leaps on a Goldyba and tries to ride it like a mount. However, since it's a non floating talking skull, it fails miserably. The skull flies off in a second and lands in the mud.
Ow.

For a brief summary, a military regime called the UKR has made it their sole goal to take over the universe to impose their beliefs. If successful, everywhere will be similar to America. This regime is under Kilroy's command, a living propandanga graffiti from WWII. In order to travel across the universe, they have decided to join with a strange species called the Grey Matter, which are based off of the Dark Matter from Kirby but infect machines instead. Their unquenchable desire to feel emotions has led them to infect the biomechanical soldiers of the UKR as well as any robots captured by the UKR. In exchange for traveling through mirrors, a deal was made that machines were to be sent to the Grey Matter as "food." What Kilroy knows about the Grey Matter's true intentions is currently unknown. Currently, Mighty and those on the Halberd are invading the UKR's main base, an underground bunker. An attachment of the UKR is with them due to finding out about this secret deal between the Grey Matter and the UKR. As for Null, which was Proto Man DS? from the Absurd Roleplay, he found a Grey Matter named Quin that he befriended before it ended up infecting him. Also, welcome back.

You know. If I wasn't a talking skeleton head, I would be screaming right now.
Scareten leaps from Ninten's hand and bite the hand of one of the Goldybas.

Root looks above and sees the time.
Well. It's been an hour and thirty. I've waited long enough.

Root then looks back at Null, who's standing completely still.
Actually...he does seem...off. Ean! Scan for an ID.
Ean's eyes glow a pleasant blue as non-damaging lasers go through Null.
ID NUMBER 21563.
Scan again.
Once again Ean scans Null.
ID NUMBER 21563.
That can't be right. Null's ID changes with every scan. So...
Who are you...
ID TARGET NAME: GREY VESSEL.
Grey...Vessel?
But he's not even grey!

...
...
...
...

And now I see why he's called Grey Vessel. Ean...we should-
Tier-6 Virus detected! Preparing countermeasures.
No Ean! Stop!
Ean fires off a swarm of rockets and a beam of blue at Null. Null simply stands there...and opens his stomach, consuming the rockets and laser.
YUmmy.
...Ean, come on. Let's let the heroes deal with this. I...I don't feel so good.
...

As Root teleports, he is suddenly brought back frozen in place, save for his eyes and mouth. As he panics, he sees that Ean is covered in greenish particles.
ID: 2112. Passive Effect: Close Corruption.
That thing knows what IDs are? That means that it knows what the System is.
I...I can't die here. They need to know.
You're YUmmy.
...What...what did you just say?
Your emotions...your despair...equal my joy...YUmmy.
Root yells for help. The sound bounces off of the walls.
