Bass eyes the Joe suspiciously.

...You know... I just might.

Bass quickly rolls down the car's window, then (somehow) flips out of the window onto the top of the car.

Hey, yellow-face! Why not try to take on some of THIS!

Bass then rapidly fires Buster Shots in the Joe's general direction. Most are aimed directly at the Joe; Others, however, are aimed at a slight distance away from the Joe, to either predict where he would try to move and avoid the shots, or to trick him into moving into the rest of the shots.

The resulting explosion propels Beta Diablo back down to Earth at incredible speed, said speed increasing by the nanosecond.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

...

Beta Supremo grabs both L and Mighty, then chases Diablo back down to Earth. As they are giving chase, an intense power begins to flow through both L and Mighty...

---

...So what you're saying is, you're stuck like this.
Pretty much, yeah.



I mean, I could defuse, but then I- er, a part of me- would die.
...Well, this is going to take some getting used to.

Meanwhile, a certain duo have been trying to help in the fight against Rotom Lucifer*.




Well, maybe it's from where we've been fighting this "Anti-Omni" crap for several hours now!




Fortem looks over to Theta Rotom...



...

......uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

...No time to worry about that now. Look who's finally coming back down.

uuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Alright, everyone, this is it. There's nothing he can do to avoid fate no-
Wait. He was in space, right? Aren't there at least a few of us here that could've also chased after him, or at the very least to the stratosphere?
...Anyways...

Legend Beta goes into his Alpha form. As he does this, a trio of ghosts phase into the ground.

...Let's finish this.

---

*At least, assuming it's alright with Rotom.

...

Boosted Bass tries to think up something... But unfortunately, being unable to think of a lie, he takes a deep breath in, then exhales.

...
...For the record, this does NOT leave this car, alright? Honestly, this was probably going to be revealed to someone regardless. But I think it'll be fine as long as we remain low-key about this.

...Now, then... Even if I were to leave this place, I'd have no idea on where to go. Because the truth is... I come from another universe. I have been dragged to this world against my own will... And quite frankly, it took me longer than I'd like to admit to even realize I wasn't even on Earth.
For quite some time now, I have been living off of what Zenny I had on me, as well as whatever Zenny I could find off the streets. I'd have looked for a job... But it's kinda hard to find one- a LEGAL one- when you have been built solely for combat.
...And before you ask, no, I don't have some fancy device or program to allow for me to return to my universe... Not that there would be anything to return to, unless some sort-of miracle happened while I was gone.

As Beta Diablo stops, he prepares to destroy the Earth... Only to be decked in the face by Beta Supremo!

Why...? Why do you fight to protect this world? It's not like you're helping it to live on forever. As time moves on, this planet- this entire Omniverse- will become nothing but stardust. Nobody will remember it existed, for even those who would will also become dust at time's end. NOTHING is eternal. NOTHING has a purpose.
You're wrong, Devil. Each individual life has purpose... But that purpose doesn't come from the World; The purpose of life is something we ALL determine for ourselves.
You called me a killer. A destroyer of worlds. But the amount of worlds I have created equals- perhaps even surpasses- the amount of worlds I have torn down.

---

---

...And if you still believe that there's no purpose in any of this?

Beta Supremo punches Beta Diablo incredibly hard in the gut.

...Then you truly ARE lost.

Beta Supremo fires a Chaos Spear at Diablo point-blank, before firing a few more. He then warps instantaneously behind Diablo before launching him at L and Mighty for them to land their blows.

Bass just sits quietly in the car, arms crossed like the edgy robot that he is.

Two particular characters watch the unfolding events from a safe distance... A VERY safe distance.

...Beep, bap boop bep boop bep. ...Beep, skadop bap bap boop bap bep boop...



Well, on the bright side, at least we don't have to be in direct contact with him in that ballistic state.



Ba do bep. Beep bop, skadep bap bo bee po bop ba bep bo beep bop.
Well, let's not worry about that right now. We have other things to focus on, don't we?
Bop bep! Beep bop badoop bop bap bop... Ba badoop, bop bep?
Mhm. That's the one.
Boop bap, bep boop bap!

Boyfriend and Girlfriend takes their leave.

---

...Wow, that's a familiar face. ...Though, the face he's showing in particular is something I prefer not to be seeing...
Well, on the bright side, at least we don't have to be in direct contact with him in that ballistic state.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Still, I feel sorry for whatever poor soul will have to deal with it.
Well, let's not worry about that right now. We have other things to focus on, don't we?
Oh yeah! You still wanted to try out that popular new pizza place... "Little Papa Beta's", was it?
Mhm. That's the one.
Alright, let's get goin'!

---

Note: In addition to the regular canon (up to Week 7), the Boyfriend and Girlfriend of Chaos Zone has also went through the events of the following mods:

Back-Alley Blitz (Whitty) (as if it wasn't obvious)
Hextravaganza (Hex)
Mid-Fight Masses (Sarvente and Ruv)
Foolhardy (Zardy)
BF's Wife Forever (Sky) (Good Ending)
Matt's Tuesday Singing Lessons (Matt Wiik 1)

Tricky has not occurred yet, and will likely not occur until the full version has been released. Matt Wiik 2 has also not yet occurred, though I'm not sure when exactly in Chaos Zone history I'll have it happen. (Will likely be off-scene events, though.)

As for the other mods... Well, we'll see. Maybe.

Bass simply gets in the car.

Boosted Bass thinks about it for a moment.

...
...Very well. I'll help with your predicament... Should be a simple matter for a robot like myself.

As Beta Diablo continues to get pounded by attacks, with him attacking back... he feels a blast hit him on the back.

...Ok, who the hell is joining in THIS time?

...Beta Diablo. I've been thinking a lot on what you've said about my legacy.
(And he's still alive. Of. Fucking. Course.)
And you want to know what I realized? All of those things you've said? None of that is my legacy. Sure, it made me who I am today. But I was never a part of any of those things because I wanted to have some adventures. Against Wily, Rotom, Symphony, Yveltal, Bt Ghost, Necrozma, Rockman Shadow, and Ninja Ghost? I was fighting for something. And you know what that something is?
No, and I don't want to know, but something tells me you're going to tell me regardless-

---

---

BORE. And dare I say. ING. By the gods, could you IDIOTS possibly be any more pathetically cliche!?
I mean, seriously. Next time you make a speech like that, record it, listen to it, and weep at how dumb you all sound.
I'm serious, with you lot it's always "Person A says 'I suck.' Person B responds with 'No you don't, you're better than you think.' Person A goes 'Yeah, you're right.'" Then the "big bad" shows up, and you're all "Blah blah blah you won't get away with this, blah blah blah Power of Friendship! Blah blah blah, Oh no he's too powerful!~ Oh wait, here's my Protagonist Bullshit Card!" The villain dies, the heroes celebrate, and it all repeats itself again.

Aren't any of you tired of this? Aren't you all tired of the same thing, over and over again? Nothing changes. And nothing ever WILL change. Not unless we pull the plug on this repetivity for good. And there is only one way to do that.
And if I can't destroy this Universe OR Omniverse... Then I'll destroy this entire damn PLANET!

Beta Diablo flies high into the sky, past the stratosphere. Beta Supremo gives chase.

*Characters (with links to their respective users) from left to right: ZeroDXZ, Copyie, MegaBoy, Sergeant Man, Beta Man, Ninja Man, Ender Man, Chord, Meta

Boosted Bass looks at the cop with slight suspicion...

...
...*Sigh* Very well. We'll do our talking here.
(I swear if this is about the room payment... I thought for sure I already payed for the evening...)
(Then again, I'm starting to run rather low... At least too low for a hotel room. This might honestly be my last night here regardless.)

... *Sigh* So much for a quiet evening... I swear, when I find out who stole the "Do Not Disturb" sign...

The sounds of a TV being turned off, footsteps heading for the door, and then the door being unlocked could be heard before the door opens wide, revealing...

...You'd better have a good reason for bothering me like this.

*The "Bass" line of games from "Create" a Mega Man Game thread, Post #2. Orchestra from the Chaos Zone is also from this universe.

As Beta Diablo takes plenty of damage from all incoming attacks, and retaliates with several attacks of his own, Beta Man Z prepares to join in on the assault... Only for a hand to grab his shoulder, disappearing along with Beta Man Z.

---

Suddenly, a small dimensional hole opens up... With Betallix popping out of it?

...Well, it seems I somehow managed to make it out of that small subspace... A shame I couldn't find MEGA, though. Maybe I should tell those two guys and that skeleton head* that he had to take a rainche-

Suddenly, a hand grabs his shoulder...

...We're never going to continue that plot between Ninten and King Koopa, are w-

...and disappears, along with Betallix.

---

...Well, your file was overlooked. And, unsurprisingly...

Beta X hands a particular figure a ticket labeled "To Heaven".

...I can't just leave them down there.
Trust me, I get that sort-of thing a lot. But, I'm afraid that you don't have much of a choice.
You don't understand. I am not going anywhere.
...Look. I don't know what happened to you to make you like this. And maybe I will never learn what it's like to become devoid of emotions like you are. But if you truly ARE a version of me? You know damn well that I will not move on to any form of afterlife until I at least ensure that my friends will be alright... And if you do not let me return, I will MAKE you bring me back.
...
...Fine. So be it. Even with my Ring of Vengeance, I know what the outcome would be if I didn't comply... But you WILL owe me for this.

...I could send you back to your physical body... But all of its systems are far too damaged for you to be able to even MOVE it, let alone fight Beta Diablo.
However. There is but one way you can ensure yourself a way back to life... And I could even loan you a temporary body for you to accomplish this...
...All you need is to get two of your alternate selves to comply. And for the best possible outcome, I may have some... Suggestions.

---

*Referring to Ninten, Soren, and Scareten.

As Diablo is swarmed by attacks, the Max Lightning that attacked Beta Supremo... did next to nothing. Beta Supremo simply responds with nothing... Before staring intensely at Rotom Lucifer, before hitting him at blinding speeds, greatly weakening him! Beta Supremo then focuses on Diablo again, who is swarmed by Sergeant Missiles, Bt Blasts, and a Geno Flash!

(...This is... The same as last time*... Could it be... Fate?)
(...)
(No... No! I REFUSE TO GO DOWN LIKE THIS!)
IF I'M GOING DOWN, THEN I SHALL DRAG EACH AND EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU DOWN TO HELL WITH ME!

Beta Diablo launches powerful Ki Blasts furious at every direction, with no regard to who he could consider to be enemy or ally!

---

...And so, the Devil acts out of desperation and frustration... A clear-cut sign that he has already lost.
And honestly, it's no surprise... He truly had it coming. All of these "villains" have, and some even still do... Because they all share the same practice. Fear Mongering.
A villain who thinks they can win makes use of this practice in an attempt at breaking down the minds of heroes... A plan that is horribly flawed.
Because little do they know, what they are doing is akin to poking a caged lion with a stick. They can prod the lion all they want, because the lion can do nothing about it... But you cannot kill a Lion with a stick. To kill the lion, a villain must often step inside the cage... which grants the Lion a perfect opportunity to lash out their frustrations. The more a villain messes with a hero's mind, the more willing they are to ultimately vanquish that villain.
This has led both Beta Devil and Team Mecha to failure, as it will Singularity, Vaati, and Coda. And yet, they will continue to practice Fear Mongering. Because they believe they can win.
...If a TRUE villain wishes to win, they will not waste time with minions and psychological torture... And they also must not be overconfident. One who does not consider- and therefore anticipate- the possibility of failure are doomed to never succeed, and will be destroyed.

...Then again, perhaps I am no different... But that is because I hold no true grudge against these heroes, and have no reason to go after them.
...Well. ALMOST none of them...

The figure continues watching the fight on a dimensional window... Its focus directly on L.

---

Geno Flash - (Wishes/Explode) Geno transforms into a large cannon, then shoots a large ball of energy, damaging all enemies. Deals more damage when fully charged (as indicated by three stars over Geno's head).

---

*Climax of the Beta Devil Arc.
**Anti-4th Wall measures are active, as to not allow entry, or even allow for those who can break the 4th Wall to be aware of the figure's presence, or the words that they say.

The figure that tapped on Beta Diablo's shoulder is flung back by intense pressure. Additionally, due to his focus on charging the attack, what Beta Diablo felt on his shoulder, rather than a tap, was something more akin to a fly landing on his shoulder for a brief second.

Meanwhile, as Beta Shadow catches the Dr. Pepper in his hands, an intensely bright light fills the entire floor.

...And just as soon as it began, it dies down, revealing a glowing figure chugging down the whole Dr. Pepper.

...Eugh. Even Dr. Pepper tastes bad after being in the Sun for too long. ...But thanks, anyways.
What, you think some fancy, new transformation's gonna do anything? Unfortunately, despite everyone's attempts, my attack is done charging, so bid farewell to your foolish-

Before Beta Diablo could even perceive what happened, the glowing figure punches him straight in the gut, causing immense damage, as well as causing Diablo to lose his attack entirely.

...You know. This new form has... enlightened me. I always thought of you as a reminder of the mistakes I made... But now, I realize it. None of the bad things I did in the past matters. All that matters is the now... And the future.
And that future, "Diablo"? You will be nowhere in it.



Beta Diablo is then tossed at... Well, whoever posts their attack on him next, I guess.

Beta Diablo tanks the attacks from Django, uses a copy of himself to take the anvil, and tanks the Gravity Beams and All-Out Attack. As for the banishment, Beta Diablo is sucked in, and then silence occurs.

...

...

...I know for certain that he didn't actually-

You really thought that would work? How foolish.

And as expected, Beta Diablo emerges from a tear in time and space moments later.

I'll give you a point for something, at least; Because of you, I'll need to recharge my attack... Because what I HAVE charged was used to tear a strong enough hole to break free.
And to prevent any further thought of doing such a thing again...

Suddenly, a powerful beam of pure energy strikes Memelord Trimarc directly!

...And now, for one more thing... To ensure I have what I need to wipe this world clean.

Suddenly, similar to what he did to Devious Diablos, Beta Diablo turns all Anti-Omni Corrupted entities (aside from Dynamax Rotom Lucifer and Nuru) into dust, absorbing their Anti-Omni essence... Including those who have already been deceased!

These games have grown tiresome. This. Ends. NOW.

Beta Diablo charges his attack... Whilst creating instances of himself to attack the heroes, keeping them busy, whilst a few of them tries to cause an early detonation of Mighty's attack to prevent it from reaching Beta Diablo!

...

---

...Welp. Here I am again... I wonder if I'd be eligible for a free Pizza if I wind up with a third visit.

Hey, this is your subconscious, isn't it? ...Then again, the pizza might come from your Pizzeria, and you could already have that for free.

True, true. Maybe an Ice Cream Sundae...?
I think that isn't the thing you should be focused on... Or don't tell me you're giving up again?
Believe me, I'm not giving up anytime soon. But it's just... There isn't anything I can really do at this point. My energy is spent.
Well, it probably would've helped if you didn't use a technique that drained all your stamina.
Oh, don't go acting like I knew something like that was going to happen. I didn't even think that was a thing I could've done. Besides, it did way more damage to Diablo than I was doing beforehand. What else am I supposed to do?
...Truthfully? I think you should be relying more on the help you have at your disposal.
That's ANOTHER thing I've been trying to do!
I wasn't referring to just your friends.

...A thought cloud...? A memory? ...Wait...



...The combination of multiple different artifacts, to create unfathomable power... If a villain can achieve such a thing, who's to say that something similar can't be done as a force for good?
...We do have a bunch of MacGuffins at our disposal. But how am I going to pull this off with no energy left?
Hey, I'm sure you have the willpower to pull it off. Beta Devil can say all he wants to, but you are an incredible person.

...
...Thanks for having my back through all of this.
Hey, I'll always be here for you. After all...
...I've always been your very first character.

---

...Suddenly, all of the Power-Up objects used by the heroes begin to swarm around Beta Shadow's unconscious body, which begins to rise into the air...!

As the smoke clears, Beta Shadow is seen falling to the ground, reverted to base form and passed out from exhaustion... And Beta Diablo appears to be alive, but battle-worn.

...I'll admit. That actually hurt. If he were able to keep up that sort of strength, he actually would've been able to win.

Beta Diablo looks around the Tower.

...You know, this battle has really torn this place apart. It's probably not too long before the tower collapses completely from our battle.
...And then, should you win, a NEW tower might just be built in its place... Only for it to be destroyed once again. And even then, building a new tower might require materials... Materials that come more or less from taking from nature.
...Do you not understand what I'm saying? THAT is why the endless cycle of creation and destruction exists. THAT is why no world will EVER have any true meaning.

---

---

It is our very nature to create things. And it is our very nature to destroy those things. That is why the cycle of Creation and Destruction cannot be ceased. Not while the existence of life continues.
...But now, the one I've wanted defeated has been beaten... And my patience has been worn thin. The time has come to end this farce.

Beta Diablo rises into the air.

...As long as the cycle of Creation and Destruction continues, life will have no meaning. And as long as Creation exists, so, too, will destruction... So the cycle must end with DESTRUCTION, not Creation.
My followers, hear my words! Lend me your power, so that we can wipe out this meaningless universe!

Beta Diablo begins channeling power from all Devils for an extremely powerful attack...

Beta Shadow kicks Beta Diablo into the air, then blasts him full force with a Kamemehameha, before charging upwards towards him.
