Moto looks over to the figure walking in, then turns to the rest of the pizzeria and activates a sort-of intercom system.



Moto turns off the intercom and turns back to the figure.







Moto turns the intercom back on.



Meanwhile, Beta Shadow proceeds to walk over to Shaggy, who appears to be conversing with Cranky Kong about (whatever HT wants these two to talk about). Along the way...

Hey, there.
'Sup?

Beta Shadow suddenly stops and turns to Bt1229.

...Huh.
What?
Nothing, it's just... Something about you feels... Oddly familiar.
Well, seeing I'm from another Omniverse, I don't see how we could possibly know each other, so... I don't think we've met?

Beta Shadow raises an eyebrow at the "another Omniverse" comment.

...Uh, okay...?

Beta Shadow just shrugs it off and continues walking up to Shaggy.

Huh? You, like, need something, man?
You know, I'm not going to say the name, but I'm also not going to pretend not to know who this "strange, new figure looking for Pit" is, either. Just gonna get that out of the way, first.
Yeah, I get it, man.
But now that she's here- and I suppose this is probably something we should've brought into discussion when the Moriya Shrine trio came into the picture- but now that we should probably have this covered for ch4s3's sake...
Where exactly do other gods and goddesses fit into the hierarchy? Do they even have a specific spot, or is it the same as, say, a character like Prototype, or a Pseudoreaper like Dyna Man?

Shaggy picks up a drink and gulps it all down in under a minute before putting it down.

...Well, most deities such as her tend to, like, work under a different hierarchy than the one me and Cranky are under. ...But that's, like, mostly because their work do not usually intervene with ours, or ours with theirs.
...But if I recall from what Matt and Cranky came up with, like, eons ago, it mostly depends both on the role in their hierarchy, and their general role in the balance of the universe.

---

---

...Of course, there are also the "dark gods", like Cthulhu. But those are, like, placed in the-

Suddenly, Shaggy stops. A chill runs down his back.

...Actually, nevermind that. You, like, won't need to know about that...

In an oddly regular house, Evil Mario finds yet another piece of a certain someone's power underneath a table. Suddenly, a figure with a baseball bat barges in.

???: You picked the wrong house, f-

The figure is immediately met with an orange beam of energy from Evil Mario's finger piercing his lungs, causing him to collapse.



...Like, at least I hope not, man...

Don't try to deceive me, doctor. You know EXACTLY who I am talking about here.
...NO! As a matter of fact, I do NOT! And I demand that you elaborate to me at once!

Shadow glares at Eggman... then drops him hard on the floor.

...From what I'm aware of, Koopenstein is a villain from another dimension.

---

---

...So, what, you're concerning me about some Bootleg universe?
...I don't care if they are from some knock-off universe, or a world of sunshine and rainbows... Nothing changes the fact that Koopenstein has proven himself too much of a dangerous threat... One that has been let off the hook for far too long now.
Ok...? And what makes you think I know anything about this!?
...I felt you were the most likely of the two to know something about his whereabouts. But, clearly, I was wrong...
...Which leaves just one other person left who's likely to know something.

Shadow warps away.

---

A group of four individuals peek at the castle's gates from a bush, keeping themselves hidden.

(...Alright, we're-a here. All we need to do is-a figure out what our plan is from-a here...)
(What's to stop us from just rushing 'em?)
(Surely we didn't come all this way just to lose our element of surprise...?)
(Imajin's right. If we-a get caught now, that'll just give Bowser more time and-a reason to be ready for us. We need to find a way to-a get to him and-a/or the princess undetected...)
(Yeah, right. Going through a castle this big? It's not like something's going to distract every single soldier in the castle.)

The Battle Kukku Empire's trio lays defeated on the ground.*

...Hmph. What a waste of my time...

Shadow suddenly warps away.

---

...What the...? Where did he go!?
I've had just about enough of these games, doctor.

Eggman yelps in panic as he turns around to see Shadow standing right behind him.

L-l-look, Shadow, w-we can talk about this! I- I haven't even started my newest plan yet! I-
I don't care for whatever pathetic excuse of a plan you're coming up with, doctor. I'm here to settle a score, once and for all.

Shadow picks Eggman up by the collar.

Now, then... Where is Koopenstein?
...Koopensaywhatnow?

---

*I'd actually have some of a battle here, but I feel as though my pacing felt too non-existent recently for me to stretch it out any further.

@FallMaker : Yeah, but that was only for the Fool's before this year's (which was a zenny leaderboard).

But gee, it would be cool if someone saved those assets for himself and other people to use. That'd be cool.

Gadzooks! You found me!

About ✋︎☼︎☼︎☜︎☹︎☜︎✞︎✌︎☠︎❄︎ Earlier...



...What are you staring at?

The figure disappears.

Yeah, just run away, why don't you!? You still owe me 250, by the way!

---

The strange man speaking in hands approaches what appears to be a computer, and proceeds to type into it...

There WAS going to be something here. But apparently, MMRPG hates long strings of wingdings. :/

---

...WELL, THAT HAPPENED.
IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE HIM
AGAIN... I WONDER WHAT BROUGHT HIM HERE?
...NO, NO... I MUSTN'T DWELL ON IT. I HAVE WORK
TO DO.

...It would appear that the spell Vaati had over Pico has worn off. You two are free to go.
So, he isn't gonna gun us down anymore? That's great!
...Tell me; How did you manage to warp in here, anyways?
Eh, it was a bit of a "heat of the moment" thing.
...I see.
Well, I guess I'll see you two off, then.

Boyfriend and Girlfriend turns to leave.

Oh, and one more thing...
?
...The next time you challenge me like that again*...

A mystic aura shrouds Matt for a split second.

...You're gonna need a lot more than luck to win.
...Alright. See ya later, Matt!

The two disappear.

...
...Gotta admit... The kid's got guts.

*Reference: Wii Funkin': Matt Wiik 2

...Was that Wario? Who was it he was fighting?
A tyrannical ruler known as the Shake King. Worry not about it; The fight has already reached a conclusion.
My concern lies in the location of which the massive explosion occurred... More specifically, with the allies who made their homes there.
You mean Bikini Bottom?

The figure nods. Suddenly, a particular artifact appears in front of Link.

The Tri-Force of Courage will grant you the ability to breathe underwater. Please, check on our allies to make sure that they are not harmed... Or worse.
You can count on us, your majesty!

The four heroes go on their way.

...Hm...
I wonder what's for dinner...

---

CD-i Triforce of Courage - (Typeless) The piece of the CD-i Triforce that pertains to Courage. Bound to King Harkinian (though has been lent to CD-i Link on several occasions), it grants great courage, as well as incredible skill.

---

*YTPs refers to the characters that appear in various YouTube Poops of the early days of YouTube, of which banded together alongside Matt to defeat WAA HAA HEE, and to seal away the two split halves of his power (Flying Mario Head and Weegee). Not to be confused with the Formers, a GammaGuardian concept.

Evil Mario picks up the quiche and inspects is.

...Fascinating... It appears that his power has become scattered across this realm...
...I can use this quiche to sense and search for the rest of his power... As well as its original owner, provided if they have any of it left.

Evil Mario pockets the quiche and continues the search.

---

As Legend Beta fires a barrage of Beta Blasts at the titan, both Ninja Men rush in, stabbing their katanas into its eyes. Meanwhile, both Sergeant Men fire rockets at the Death Toll.

---

As Moto looks at Glass in confusion, Beta Shadow shrugs at Cat Noir's question.

All I know is what I've been told. So, unless Slur has any sort-of idea...?

---

A figure sits on a throne of sorts. A female figure stands beside him.

Mah bois. Come forth... I have urgent news.

Four heroes approach the king.

You called for us, your majesty?



...A dire message has been left... by Robbie Rotten.
Robbie Rotten!? What does that scoundrel want this time!?



The figure shakes his head.

I'm afraid that this is more than just another one of Robbie's tricks... Robbie has warned both me and Ganon that a peculiar creature resembling Mario has attacked him... And has stolen the Anti-Omni Meme.
What!? So the Anti-Omni Meme has fallen into the hands of chaos!?



Wait... Ganon? I thought Duo sealed him away!*



Robbie Rotten freed CD-i Ganon from his imprisonment so that he could recruit the other villains of YTP... it is your task to find the heroes.
Where do we look?
...I first want you to investigate something. Zelda?

The female figure nods, approaching the heroes while pulling out the CD-i Tri-Force of Wisdom.

Take a look at this...



A vision appears in the CD-i Triforce of Wisdom...

---

CD-i Triforce - (Typeless**) The three pieces of the Tri-Force of CD-i Hyrule. Like the original Tri-Force (of which the CD-i Triforce does NOT replace), this pertains to Power, Courage, and Wisdom.
CD-i Triforce of Wisdom - (Typeless**) The piece of the CD-i Triforce that pertains to Wisdom. Bound to CD-i Zelda, it grants incredible wisdom, as well as great magical might.

**Level and Speed are used purely for flavor.

Suddenly, the Kool-Aid Man... changes color!?

One glass of Blue Raspberry, coming right up!

Kool-Aid Man proceeds to poor Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid into the cup before handing the cup over to Trill. Meanwhile, Beta Shadow responds to Catboy...

We'll defeat these "Darksides" the same way Beta Diablo was defeated: by working together. After all, it's never a singular individual's power the universe rests its hopes upon.
...With that said... What's our next move?

---

Lambda Wind finds himself in the easternmost part of the plains...

(Right... Let's see if anyone around here might need any help.)

---

...A portal appears in a city-like area, a particular individual stepping through as it closes behind him...

...Hrm. I'd never expect this place to be so... suburban.

The figure then opens yet another portal, than immediately closes it again.

So, the Anti-Omni Meme 2's power is great enough to provide an exit from even here. Good... That's the EASY part out of the way...
Now, let's see if I can't find HIM anywhere...

And so, Evil Mario makes his way through the peculiar area known as...

---

Kool-Aid - (Copy/Water) While normal Kool-Aid is usually refreshing, the Kool-Aid provided by the Kool-Aid Man himself is even moreso refreshing and hydrating. Not only does this recover a slight amount of Health and Mana/Weapon Energy/other equivalents, but it also grants a temporary additional effect depending on the flavor.
Blue Raspberry - (Weapons**/Water) Applies Restoration over Time (RoT) for Mana/Weapon Energy/ect.

---

*Introduced in The Chaos Zone: Part I (Page 135, Post #12 ).
**Since Weapons and Water uses the same type colors, I opted against using {weapons_water} for Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid (or Kool-Aid Man's Blue Raspberry form).

As Shadow continues to demolish Badniks left-and-right, three figures arrive to confront him...

Alright, buddy, this is the end of the line for you! Prepare to face the wrath of the Battle Kuk-

...Only for Shadow to rush right past them.

Wha- HEY! Get back here and fight, you coward!

Shadow then stops dead in his tracks.

...The only reason I'm dealing with these pathetic footsoldiers is to catch the doctor's attention. I'm not wasting time with your games.
Wha-!? You... You DARE mock the Battle Kukku Empire!?
...Hmph. You seem like the kind of people who makes a mockery out of themselves.
HOW... DARE YOU! I'd never seen such a display of disrespect in my entire LIFE!
I believe there is only one way for us to teach this interloper some respect.
Finally! All this talk and no action was boring me!

Shadow turns back around.

I don't have time with this. Now, where's the da-

Suddenly, a bunch of landmines set off in Shadow's face, knocking him back!

HAH! I didn't think he'd even fall for that!



If you truly wish to get to the doctors, then you'll must get past us, first... And it won't be so easy!



You'll soon learn to curse your mouth...
...For disrespecting the name of the Great Battle Kukku XV!

Suddenly, Cranky hears a voice...

Why not use strategy right now, while we still have the elemental powers? We can divide all available heroes into groups and send them to the Elemental Orb location that best suits them, and formulate a plan to stop the Darksides from taking them.

Another voice connects.

That's, like, not a bad idea! Like, how should we split up?
I think we should try for a headcount, first. See who is available to better figure out who goes where.
Well, we've got Beta Team out and about (though we may need to count out Alpha and Delta for the time being), but Mario's group of four might be too busy to-
Hold on a minute, how did you-
Phantom Ruby, remember? Anyways, we'll also need to count out Digamma once Shaggy's done fueling the Wario-Shake King battle. Who else we got?
Well, we've got Trill's group here.
Outstanding. Cranky, do you have anyone to add?

Shaggy is enjoying his second sandwich when the three Elemental Orbs warp right in front of him.

Like, this isn't good.
What are those?
Elemental Orbs. A source of Elemental power throughout the Chaos Zone's three universes. Cranky must've sent these three here... meaning that we, like, could be in great trouble.

Bt1229 slumps down.

As if we couldn't be in any more trouble...

Shaggy picks up the Impact Orb.

...Say. What are you doing with that one?
...

Suddenly, Shaggy puts .5% of his power into the orb, activating it again!

...There's, like, still one person out there who will still be needing thi-

*Robotic Cough*

Shaggy turns to see Pi Android standing there.

...
...*Sigh* Like, very well, dude.

Shaggy proceeds to do the same to the Electric Orb.

At least they'll be, like, safe in here...

Dozens of similar-looking demons lie cold on the ground, a rather typical horde of C-Rank demons. The last of the group, still alive but incredibly injured, lays at the mercy of the hunter before him.

Ack... Wh-why... You...!
Don't waste your breath; It will be your last.
...But then again, you Blodfangs LOVE to talk.



...Why... do you... Side with them...? Traitor...
...Die wondering.

SBD finishes off the Blodfang with a swift blow. Soon, a group of four other hunters appear behind him.

...Search the perimeter, and kill off any stragglers. Remember: If we let them live, they'll follow us back to the Hunter Base. So spare not a single one of them.

The four hunters nod and searches around. Meanwhile, the demon searches in the larger tent, originally belonging to the leader of the demonic tribe. There, he finds a large pile of supplies.

...Food and clean water, clearly stolen from a nearby village... I'll need to put on my human guise to deliver this back to the village once the coast is clear.

Devil looks around.

...But until then, I'll need to keep watch for other demons or thieves. This place is awfully notorious for both, after all.

It is actually the robot with highest speed that goes first. So, by all means, Kill's Sniper Joe goes first due to higher speed (SJ's 50 > CJ's 40)

i'll do my turn later

Flipping coins...

2 Heads are better than one! 12 Damage!

Gonna snipe you again

Flipping coins...

1 Heads! 6 Damage dealt!

Firing away with Sniper Shot!
12 Damage dealt!

@ch4s3man : Just find someone to battle with (who isn't me, Red, Gamma, or tedd) and you may start.

Edit: And somehow we are the only other four people online right now. Guess you'll have to wait it out. :/
