As Jazz, Orchestra, Techno, and the three Jazz Droids finish picking up the last of the stuff, they prepare to warp out of the Labs.

...Alright, this should be the last of it. Just one more thing...

Jazz proceeds to place 300 Zenny on the table, as well as a note that reads:

Thanks for not being upset that I kinda just stole this corner of your lab. It was real. - J

...Does Dr. Doppler even use Zenny?
I mean, it's apparently present in Command Mission*, so maybe?
THE LAST OF THE SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN PACKED UP, SIR.
Ah, good. Gentlemen, to the HQ.

The six robots warp out with the supplies.

---

With Nightmare Iris having been dealt with off-scene, the two Maverick Hunters take a sigh of relief.

Whew... That took longer than I'd like. But, at least it's over, for now...
Still... Where on Earth did these come from? I thought we dealt with the Nightmare Phenomenon...
I can't say I know for sure... But I have a bit of a theory.
You remember who first created the virus, right?

X nods.

Gate, right? He turned insane after scanning your DNA and becoming corrupted by it... What about him?
...If there is but one person we can think of who could be responsible of all this damage, AND have used the Nightmare Phenomenon? ...I think only one person could possibly come to mind.
H-huh? Are you sure... Even if it could be Gate... If Alia truly repaired him**, then-
Who's to say it's the same Gate as the one we brought back to base? Even if we weren't to assume that Gate was repaired, and still went Maverick again... Who's to say that the Gate who was already Maverick couldn't return somehow?
...I don't know... This guess of yours sounds completely impossible...

Zero looks over to iX.

...Something tells me that whatever's going on in this world doesn't care about what is or isn't impossible.

Zero looks back at X.

...Either way, we won't know for sure unless we make an attempt at looking further into it... Preferably before the next attack can begin.

---

*Or so it says on the MMKB page for Zenny.
**Reference: Mega Man X6 - In the ending, Gate's body was recovered, and returned to HQ. Due to the damage done to him, however, the choice of whether or not he is to be repaired was left to Alia. His fate from there is left ultimately unknown.

But, of course. Someone like him is not even CLOSE to a challenge against the likes of me.
...That isn't to say, however, that there isn't any use to come from this scuffle.

Boosted Bass hops off the car, then proceeds to pick up the Merc Joe's Axe before going back into the car and returning to his seat.

There are just some things you'll never know will come in handy.

Mario, Luigi, Stanley, and Imajin- reverted back to their base forms- follows a mysterious man away from the tower.

...Not to complain or-a anything, but... Shouldn't we be helping the-a others with that Rotom Lucifer guy?
...Do not worry. Rotom Lucifer has, at most, a mere 12% chance of victory, perhaps lower. It is more than likely that he will fall, with or without your help. And, besides... You have more pressing matters to attend to.
And what kind of matters are they, exactly?
...I cannot reveal too much, otherwise I would get in trouble with... certain higher beings.
What I can tell you, however, is that it is crucial that you return to the Mushroom Kingdom... for it is currently in big danger.
Danger!? From-a who? Koopenstein? Bowser? ...Fawful?
...Once again, I cannot reveal much else. Just know that your mission is to begin within Peach's Castle.
I don't know, after the intense battle we just had, I really feel like we need a bit of a break... Aren't Wario and the others there to help out?
...Unfortunately, Wario, Somari, and the rest are busy dealing with another threat of their own, one that threatens the whole world. And if this mission is delayed any further... It could very well spell the END of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Wait, if this-a threat Wario is-a taking on is a threat to the world, then shouldn't he-a be of higher priority? Why can't we-a help them, and they-a help us in return?

The figure suddenly stops walking. The other four does so at the same time.

...

The figure then rushes at Mario with a glowing hand, pressing it against his forehead!

HEY! What are you-a-
!

---

Mario comes to, beaten and torn, witnessing a burning field around him. Luigi, Stanley, and Imajin all lay dead on the floor, with several others- some he recognize, others he does not- either dead as well, or extremely injured. Mario then, with a rather bit of struggle, looks up to a menacing figure looming over everyone.

...I knew you could never beat me. But with all the tales I've heard, I was at least expecting SOME form of a challenge from you.

The figure then powers up, with a form most unfamiliar to the plumber...

...But, then again... Reality can often be so disappointing.

The figure then launches a powerful bolt of electricity at the plumber. Mario, in too much pain to move out of the way, is struck by the electrical attack, and

---

GAH!

Mario, returning to reality, clutches his chest, recovering from the vision...

...What... What-a was...?
...What did you DO to him?
...That is but one of many, MANY timelines I have looked into. Should you try to assist Wario, then you- and especially everyone else- have a high possibility to DIE by the hands of the enemy Wario is up against. And even in the timelines where you all DO survive, it will already be too late, and the Mushroom Kingdom WILL be conquered. There is but ONE timeline where you manage to succeed in both, and the chances of such a timeline occurring requires LUCK to achieve.
...Please, DO understand: The mission I am putting you on is of upmost importance. It is the ONLY way to ensure that NEITHER villain achieves victory in the end.

The figure opens up a portal, leading directly to the outside of Peach's Castle!

...Normally, I would prefer to keep out of things... But regardless, I wish you all the best of luck.

Greetings Volt, Dyna. We're simply just here to pick up all the stuff we kinda just put in the corner of the lab. You know, since Diablo is gone, and our services are no longer required... Assuming they even WERE to begin with.

Jazz simply places down a small device, allowing for three Jazz Droids to spawn. Jazz then immediately removes the device. The six then heads into the corner where Jazz had a place set up, picking up everything that solely belongs to them.

After we take this stuff back to our base in Pumpkin Hill, we'll be waiting on Missingno. and a certain Mech-X droid. After that, we'll be out of the metaphorical-or-not hairs of this planet for good.

The chains then pull Beta Devil into what appears to be some form of invisible wall. Beta Devil tries to budge them, but to no avail.

Don't even bother; Those chains were forged from pure Vengeance energy. The more people who wants you to pay for what you have done, the stronger those chains become. And considering just how many people you have wronged...
Grrrrr...!
You see, "Devil", this place- Purgatory-BS- is NOT a part of the Afterlife. Instead, it is a gateway to either Heaven-BS and Hell-BS. No Dead Zone portal ever has been- or ever WILL be- opened here... Which makes it the PERFECT place to trap you in for all of eternity.

Beta X turns his back on the chained Beta Devil.

...Enjoy your stay here, Beta Devil... Because you will not be going ANYWHERE anytime soon.

Beta X leaves Beta Devil, who continues to furiously tug at the chains, only for them to still not budge.

---

A group of 3 approaches the front door, the leading one of the three knocking on it...

...Hello? Is anybody home? We know this is probably a bad time, but...
Did we beat them here, or...?
I mean, we did just teleport here instead of travelling on-foot; Though, considering that Sonic Man was in critical condition, I wouldn't be surprised if they did so deliberately in order to prevent risk of further damage.
Ah. That makes sense.

Beta Supremo protects Beta Team and all other characters under his name with a powerful barrier!

...You know, I probably could help out with Rotom Lucifer- Can't be any harder than Beta Diablo, of which was completely bodied- but I'm fairly certain that Rhys had some kind of super-cool big attack to do exactly that, and I kinda don't want to steal his thunder.

Beta Supremo then reverts back to base form Beta Shadow. All of the trinkets and artifacts used to create Beta Supremo are dispersed from him, returning to whoever had them previously... Save for the Five Magic Stones, the gems from Lyla's Ruins, and the emerald from Proto Palace Zone, of which are safely returned to their previous locations prior to being taken by Team Mecha.

Well, I should really get going, and have Reggae come with. I still have a restaurant to run.
...Aaaaand I should probably help Sabata recover from Django's Sol Trance stuff. Maybe I should ask Shadow Digital where he bought that special Sunblock from when I get the chance...
Wait, should we be helping out with Rotom Lucifer?
If you want. Or you can do what the Brash Crew and affiliates did and just leave. Your call.

Beta Shadow simply hops on Reggae, who- faster than anyone could perceive- immediately rushes out of the scene, travelling back to Little Papa Beta's. ...Oh, and they also take Sabata with them.

...

Legend Beta Man turns to Rotom Lucifer.

In that case, let's wrap up some loose ends! Come on, guys!

Looking around, Legend Beta notices that the Jazz Armada (aside from Missingno., and a few Jazz Droids that were left behind to simply try to clean up and repair the tower), the other members of Beta Team (that aren't the B-Team), Theta and Gamma, Kirby, King K. Rool, Geno, and the four heroes from the Mushroom Kingdom have already left, leaving only the B-Team of Beta Team, Missingno., Sonic's group, the SFRs, Bane and Fortem, and Pikason with the task of finishing off Rotom Lucifer.

---

...Well, now. You certainly took your sweet time in returning here.
Well, I'll tell you now that I WILL be leaving faster than it took for me to arrive.
Oh, I'm afraid you won't be returning to the Land of the Living anytime soon.
HAH! Oh, please. You and I both know what's going to happen; The Dead Zone Portals will one day reopen themselves, allowing for me to make my grand escape. And then, I'll do my grand scheme all over again, but BETTER. And even if that WON'T be any soon, that's fine; That just means more time for me to become even STRONGER.
...Indeed; Even within the deepest depths of Hell-BS, you would be able to train until the day that the Dead Zone portals open once more, allowing you to escape and fulfill your plans once more.
...However. The Dead Zone portals merely link between the Land of the Living and either the Zone of Non-Existence... or the many different realms of the Afterlife.

Suddenly, chains snatch to Beta Devil's arms and legs from behind!

...Which is why you shall NOT be going to ANY afterlife.

(Cont. from above)

Don't worry; It doesn't seem to be that critical yet. Which is also good, because that IS against the Chaos Zone rules...
...But that doesn't mean they are not dangerous in their own right. If kept unchecked, the effects could be catastrophic to Chaos Zone as a whole.
Should we, like, warn the others, then?
...No, not yet. After Rotom Lucifer is taken down, we should give these heroes at least some time to rest. But what we WILL do is watch over them, and make sure nothing escalates too much further than it already has.

On a mountaintop, a sinister figure stands above a knocked-down hero...

...
I warned you. You challenged me too early. Had you defeated the 13th Lord of Chaos you might have actually had a chance at actually winning.
Goodbye, hero.
...You promised to reveal the name of the 13th Chaos Lord.
Ahhh, yes. The 13th Lord of Chaos...
Destined to lead an all out attack and destroy all of this world's cities...
Destined to slay all of the great heroes of the land...
Destined to raise their Chaos Beast and illuminate the final rune on the Chaos Portal!
...
What would you say if it was ?
!?
HAHA... No. How about !?
!?
No... no... because I have something far more fun in mind!
For the 13TH LORD OF CHAOS...
I CHOOSE-*

Suddenly, the ground underneath the unknown hero shifts slightly... Before becoming a Memehole, swallowing him up!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
...
...What in the...?

---

...Finally! Beta Devil is, like, super gone, man! I knew they could do it!
Hmph! Good riddance, too! Now we just need to wait for that giant Rotom to fall, and- outside of Nuru-A- all traces of that old failure of an Anti-Omni Meme will be gone.
I wouldn't celebrate just yet. The threat of Beta Diablo might be gone now... But now we've got other things to worry about.

Matt brings the other two's attention to another Dimensional Window... showcasing all of the Memeholes that are beginning to spawn.

Omniholes... But I thought-
Indeed. Omniholes- or more commonly referred to as "Memeholes" existed purely from the Absurd Roleplay, which has long since been destroyed. So the only possible reason this could've happened...
...Was if someone from that universe, like, managed to not only survive, but come here to spawn these things.
Don't tell me we'll need to fix this Omniverse again** at some point... I hated having to work with you two again!
...

---

*This marks a point where the scene deviates from the source material.
**Reference: At the end of the Absurd Roleplay, the strain from the Memeholes constantly appearing caused reality to be torn apart, collapsing the entirety of the Omniverse; This was then repaired by Matt, Shaggy, and Robbie, but the Absurd Roleplay was kept destroyed due to being seen as "too dangerous".

After being knocked around a bit more by the above, Diablo is sent into the direction of Jazz, Techno, and Orchestra. Techno and Orchestra unleashes a combo of attacks, Orchestra using his Orchestra Claymore + while Techno unleashes a Techno Fever +. At the end of this, the two roll out of the way as Jazz unleashes a Chaos Breaker upon Diablo.

With Diablo somehow still standing ( SQUAWK!, he's resilient.), Reggae proceeds to toss Cores of ALL elements at Diablo, causing him to be pelt with a flurry of small explosions of varying elemental energies. Taking this opportunity, Kirby comes in, slamming Diablo with a Warp Star before hitting him full-blast with the Star Rod! This sends him careening towards Beta Team, the two present members of Gamma Team, and Omega Element! (Who has a strange energy surrounding them, boosting their power and weakening Diablo's... Oddly enough, Gamma Jewel is unaffected by this.)

Ok, boys... Let's finish this.

Gamma Jewel disappears through a mirror while Theta Mephisto does so with the Phantom Ruby. Throughout the following combo, Gamma and Theta reappears via these methods to pull a surprise attack on Diablo, disappearing again to repeat the process until the end of the combo. Iota slams a giant tree on Diablo's head while Kappa swarms Diablo with a Tidal Wave! With Diablo completely soaked, he is left vulnerable to a Gigavolt Crash from Digamma Bolt, which is then followed by a Starforce Beam from Eta Cosmic, a Destructive Omni-Core Laser from Omega Element, a White Flash from Zeta Light, and a Freezeflare Shot from Alpha Fire and Epsilon Snow.

HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Delta Paradox, utilizing a TON of Time Energy (some of which coming seemingly from out of nowhere, which is... peculiar...) charges in and punches Diablo with a powerful Chronos Punch! The incredible force of the punch manages to finally knock Diablo back into Beta Devil, and also causes him to fly directly at the Beta Team B-Team and Beta Supremo.

Ninja Man and Ninja Man Z both rushes at Beta Devil at blinding speed, slashing them with their Ninja Katanas. Sergeant Man and Sergeant Man Z then blasts Devil with Sergeant Rockets, with Epsilon launching an Epsilon Blast at the same time, propelling Devil into the air for the final attack...

You ready for this?
I was born ready.

Legend Beta Man is then shrouded in a rainbow-colored aura, intensely boosting his strength in similar fashion to L and Mighty. The two then unleash a combination of a Kamemehameha Supreme and a Beta Burst Ω, creating an EXTREMELY powerful beam of energy that proceeds to completely VAPORIZE Beta Devil!

Im...possible... How... Why...
...If you... If you think... this changes ANYTHING... then you're wrong.
Your world... Will still be destroyed... If not by me... Or anyone else... Then it will be by time itself.
This world will crumble to dust. And you won't be able to do anything to stop it... For by then, most of you, too, will become dust long before the world's collapse.
Nothing is eternal. THAT is the only thing that will remain true for ALL of eternity. And in the end... Nothing matters, or ever will.

...And as the dust finally settles... Nothing of Beta Devil can be seen, or sensed. Beta Devil... is finally gone.

...It's over. At long last.

...But Rotom Lucifer's still- You know what, nevermind.

---

Ending:

...Whew! That was fun! ...You know, maybe I judged the Absurd Roleplay a bit too quickly. Maybe I should go back there at some poi-

Suddenly, Beta Shadow spots a strange, ominous glow in the nearby bushes...

Hm?

Beta Shadow investigates the source of the glow, finding a strange object...

That's strange... Is that a meme? A cursed meme? What on Earth is it doing he-

Beta Shadow then touches the strange meme... And a sinister energy suddenly surges within him, causing him to drop it!

Woah! That's quite some power... Maybe I shouldn't mess with this...
...Then again, if this falls into the wrong hands... Maybe there's no harm in holding onto it.
Yeah... No harm indeed.

The camera then pans down to the meme...

---

Ending (Bevil):

Beta Devil stands proudly, a red aura flowing through him. It appears that he has grown significantly stronger than when he first arrived...

Heheheh... I'll admit. I knew from the start travelling to this point of time to possess Beta Shadow before he found the Anti-Omni Meme would've left me with less power than I would've liked.
But who would've thought that having less power... Would grant me the chance to gain more power than I could ever anticipate?

Beta Devil turns back to see three robots... All of which seem to be bowing down to him.

...

Indeed... Much like how I was created, it appears that the energy from the Anti-Omni Meme of which I emanate has the ability to draw out the inner evils of others, while also putting them under my control.
I believe I'll call the phenomenon... Anti-Omni Corruption.
...I think it's high time to return to the present. Unfortunately, while these three would be excellent assets... These three, and this whole world known as DA-1-C will have been long gone in the present. But, that is no issue to me.

A portal opens up behind him. A large figure holding a mysterious object is seen within the portal.

Beta Devil, I’ve come to inform you: I have located the first GRAND STAR aboard an airship.
Ah, King K. Rool, excellent timing. I am about done with this world...

...Let's see what this "Chaos Zone" is all about, shall we?

Miscellaneous
Bio: Beta Shadow is a member of a group of entities known as “Reapers”. Responsible for the creation (and destruction) of many universes, Beta Shadow has decided to visit this one, joining the tournament for the sake of fun after a brief experience in a rather... Absurd universe.

As Diablo... attempts to protect himself from the Brash Crew's attacks (still being hit by a good number of them due to his current, worn-down state, and is honestly only capable of doing so due to a sudden adrenaline rush), he is suddenly knocked into the air by K. Rool, who then pulls out a remote and presses a Smash Ball-looking button, causing the Gangplank Galleon II* to fly in (somehow...?), blasting Diablo with a mounted version of the Blast-o-Matic!

The Blast-o-Matic... eh, blasts Diablo straight into the direction of Mario, Luigi, Stanley, Imajin, and Geno. As Imajin goes to the ground to pluck Vegetables from the ground, chucking them at Diablo (which is somewhat more effective due to added Star Power), Geno, Mario, and Luigi unleashes a Geno Flash, a Star-Powered Mario Finale, and a Star-Powered Green Shockwave, respectively. Stanley then traps Diablo in a Bug Spray Tornado, allowing for Imajin to finally pull out a Bob-Omb, then lob it at Diablo after applying Star Power to the bomb, greatly increasing the power (and blast radius) of the bomb, as well as creating a star-shaped explosion!

Diablo is then propelled to Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass. Mega Man unleashes a Super Final Charged Shot, as Proto Man and Bass launches a Super Proto Strike and a Super Bass Baroque, respectively.

Momentarily held in place by the attacks, this opens Diablo up for a Shining Lightspeed Attack from Pikason! Pikason sends Diablo into the direction of Silver and Blaze, the former crushing Diablo with a Meteor Smash. Upon the large ball falling apart on Diablo, Blaze rushes in with a Burning Fire Boost. This leads Diablo straight into a Hyper Deep Impact from Knuckles, which is followed by a Super Air Energy Ball from Tails.

Diablo is then hit with a Hyper Flash from Classic Sonic, followed by a Hyper Lightspeed Attack from Sonic and a Super Lightspeed Attack from both Shadow and Ashura!

---

Hyper Flash - (Light/Swift) Hyper Sonic (or Hyper Classic Sonic, in this case) generates a large flash that deals severe damage to all enemies. Hyper Sonic is then propelled forwards in a chosen direction.

(I'm going to let HighTower do his final attack(s) on Diablo before moving on to the rest.) (No, I did not forget Kirby.)

Suddenly, a buster gets shoved into Merc Joe's face.

Good priorities. See ya.

Boosted Bass then unleashes a charged Bass Buster shot DIRECTLY into the Joe's face!

...
...Ha... Hahaha... Ah hahahahahaha...
Ahahahahahahahahaha, hahahAHAHA.....
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, THAT'S HOW IT IS, isn't it!? You're not going to stop until we're all DEAD! IS THAT IT!? Well, YOU WON'T GET THAT CHANCE! DO YOU HEAR ME, GAMMAGUARDIAN!?

---

---

...But no more. DO YOU HEAR ME!? I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING ELSE ANYMORE!
I'll kill you, and ALL of your creations, before you even get the CHANCE to kill all of us! DO YOU HEAR ME! I WILL SLAU-
!

Suddenly, a glitch-like energy stuns Ninja Ghost, even rendering him unable to speak.

...You're taking this way too far, and becoming way too unstable. I think it's time you get some rest.
(No, no, no! You MUST listen to me! Gamma will be the downfall of all of us! He is no Guardian! He's a killer! A KILLE-)

Suddenly, the glitch-like energy assaults Ninja Ghost's mind, forcing him to pass out and revert to base form.

Meanwhile, Bt Ghost Classic gets up from Nuru's attack from earlier.

(Ugh, my head feels like a jackhammer...) Well, that... kinda takes care of that. I guess. Still, we were able to stop Ninja Ghost before he went overboard.
Yeah, kinda been meaning to ask- WHAT THE JUST HAPPENED WITH HIM!? He wasn't even THIS crazy when he was a bad guy! What the hell even gives!?
Look, I'm as lost about it as you are, alright? It honestly could be a number of things, really...
...But whatever it is, it has something to do with him being in ghost form. So, we'll need to put him BACK in his robotic body, and ensure that he NEVER leaves it again.
Additionally, with this as a factor, there is no way we can truly trust him at the moment. So UNTIL we find some way to remove whatever factor causes Ninja Ghost's insanity, we will need to ask Beta Shadow to REVOKE him of his Pseudoreaper status.
Makes sense. But who's going to take his place until then?
...
...Let's be honest here. Outside of Dyna Man's case, where Brash doesn't HAVE a Reaper of his own, the title of Pseudoreaper is meaningless, at least until Phantasm gives out a proper explanation as to WHY such a title matters to begin with..
...But let's be real, here. For all we know, Phantasm probably just made the title up to sound important. It certainly sounds like it would be in-character for him.

---

*I know that by all means, Root is not an antagonist, or necessarily evil. But...

...Let's just say his first impression on the heroes weren't exactly... desirable.

(also i know quin isn't evil anymore, but he still was a significant threat in the grey matter arc.)

Also, let me just get this out of the way:

None of this TRULY reflects my actual thoughts on GammaGuardian AT ALL.

This is just playing off of the more... mysterious aspects of the way Gamma seems to roleplay, making it rather hard to make solid facts about anything that happens with him. (ie. the situation with Null)

I-a suppose this-a means that we'll be getting back to-a work soon.






Damn it! I can't believe I lost to you again!



Moto leaves to find the source of the voice.

---

Meanwhile, two people appear to be playing on the Nintendo 64...

*

Hey, it's not my fault you suck ass! You just need to get good!



Oh, screw you, David.
Ah, whatever. I'm just impressed with how far the modding community has come. I wonder what else is to come from-



Playing video games, what does it look like?
Yeah, Phoney. Why the hell do you have to be on our case?



Oh, Phoney. You forgot... I ALWAYS COME BACK.
...I actually got in posing as my twin brother, Jeremy Miller, the Plum Man.



And more importantly, you have a twin brother?
...What? No. That's why it's a fake identity.
Anyways, I was going to kill some kiddins, but nobody was here except for this guy. So, I just decided to play video games with him because I was bored as fuck waiting for actual service.



...Is that so? Might want to tell that to those three over there.

Moto looks over to the line at the cash register... Revealing Boyfriend, Girlfriend, and (probably) whoever Hightower's character that was coming to Little Papa Beta's is.

...'Sup.



Oh, shit! A kiddin I can murderlize!
Beep boop skebop.**
Oh, you're 19 years old? My mistake.
How on Earth could you possibly understand ANY of that?

---

*I couldn't figure out how to get a Player 2 set up, so... Just pretend that Wario is actually P2 rather than a CPU.

**I was informed that Boyfriend only does the beep-bops with people he don't trust. So, consider this a mini-retcon. (Previously, I thought Boyfriend avoids speaking altogether- outside of times when he absolutely has to- because of some kind of social anxiety.)

...Then you must be faking any feeling of pain... seeing as you threw your life away the moment you sold your soul to the Devil.
You don't get it. As I said, I KNOW how you stubborn ghosts work; You're too stubborn to see the obvious truth... your inevitable failure.
It won't matter what you do. Beta Diablo will DIE. Rather soon, in fact. And if you're still around when he's gone... What will you even do? What CAN you even do? Stick around for Beta Shadow to use his current state to erase you with a mere wave of his hand? You should've stayed in the timeline where Diablo won; Maybe THEN you and the other's could've actually lived on in your dystopian "peace".
...Actually, on that note, why do you even serve him? The mere FACT that he turned everyone else to dust shows that he only cares about destruction; He has no room in his agenda for what YOU have sought out in coming here. The only reason you and Rotom Lucifer was left alive was because you were extra threats to us. If he had won, he'd have no qualms in eradicating the BOTH of you.

The fact that you still serve him without knowing- or perhaps even regardless of knowing such a fact- shows how utterly foolish you truly are. And foolishness. Gets. CRUSHED.
For, while I had said I'd make this painful for you...

Suddenly, a glitch-like effect surrounds the area where Nuru- the REAL one- was stabbed, then quickly shrouds his entire body.

...I meant it both physically... And, for whatever that's worth, mentally.

The glitchy aura then splits Nuru into three separate entities: One of only Evil Energy, one of only Anti-Omni Energy, and one of only Limited.

---

As Beta Diablo crashes down from L's and Mighty's attacks, both Bane and Fortem are indeed struck down by Rotom Lucifer's attacks... only for a shining glow to activate, reviving them!




Missingno. appears next to Bane.

Allow me to help you with that.

Missingno. then proceeds to pull out his Dome Scythe + and strike Rotom Lucifer with it, as Bane and Fortem preforms an Alliance Attack, using Fire Blast and Night Slash, respectively.

Reviver Seeds - (Recovery) Small seeds that instantly revive a fainted Pokemon, becoming a (completely useless) Plain Seed upon use. Its effect on entities that are NOT Pokemon, however, have yet to be tested.

Alliance Attack - A technique Bane and Fortem learned in School prior to joining the Expedition Society; The duo (as well as any team members they may have with them at the time) join together to combine moves and strike at the opponent. This technique allows for the moves used to ignore any elemental resistances.

Fire Blast - (Flame/Explode) The target is attacked with an intense blast of all-consuming fire. This may also leave the target with a burn.

Night Slash - (Shadow/Cutter) The user slashes the target the instant an opportunity arises. Critical hits land more easily.

Bass proceeds to charge his buster.

(This is my next best option... Hopefully I have enough time to use it BEFORE this car goes down. And I'll need to keep my guard up, too, in case he decides to go for me, instead...)

Boosted Bass proceeds to place a Bass Crush upon the foe.

Yeah, I think it would make sense that it didn't happen... seeing as it was meant to be an alternate universe.
I'm sure you two would know plenty about that, considering...



...Actually, are you even aware of the constant dimension-hopping you and your little friends do?

Wait, how does Da-

(Let's just say I have learned a lot since my absence... Including YOU. Which, I'll introduce myself to the uninformed when I feel like it.)
