Joyous Tower - Floor 100

Beta Diablo takes slight damage from Doppler's and Descant's attacks, as well as the Piercing Supernova. He then avoids the Hallowed Sigma Voltage, while taking only slight damage from the Areiad.

Meanwhile, Blood Beta simply catches the Chainsaw with his bare hand (somehow), and proceeds to use a surge of dark energy to grant him the strength to break the saw outright! He then blasts Legacy Aeon point-blank with a Beta Blast, only to be struck by a Sergeant Rocket!

* You might've brought an army, Diablo, but this wasn't my first war.

Sergeant Man Z
Elite Military Soldier

Suddenly, Sergeant Man Z is knocked back by a Charged Shot!

Oh, sure... Because it went so well for you in the past, didn't it?

Ninja Yokai
Devilish Spectre

Meanwhile, Ninja Man is clashing blades with his devil counterpart...

...As a Wily-bot, you are a disgrace.

Ninja Devil
Determined Villain Robot

And you're one to talk?
Look at yourself. You had plenty of opportunities to strike Beta Man down once and for all, and here you are fighting as a part of his little "team".
That's because unlike you, I have my priorities straightened out. One day, I'll defeat Beta Man... But I won't turn a blind eye to those who wish to destroy the world, either.

Ninja Man undergoes a form change to his Masked state, increasing his speed tenfold! And with his speed already boosted by his Omega form, he is able to muster enough speed to create three afterimage copies of himself!

I know where my destiny lies... And it goes straight through you.
...Hmph.

Ninja Devil goes into his own Masked state, managing to pull of the same stunt!

Let's see if you have what it takes to back that claim.

Wherever Tunnel Rhino happens to be

Suddenly, a voice speaks from behind Tunnel Rhino...

...Excuse me. You wouldn't happen to have a strange stone in the shape of a feather**, would you?

---

Sergeant Rocket - (Missile/Explode) A stronger variant of Sergeant Man's Sergeant Missiles, though does not have the same tracking capabilities, only capable of being fired straight forwards.

---

*The golden form, known by Sergeant Man as Sergeant Man Digamma; Learned by Sergeant Man during a battle with Punk (See Chaos Zone Part 1, Page 173, Post #14. (Sergeant Man Z learned this during off-scene training.)
**The Earth Agate.

Diablo takes only slight damage from the Card Scatter, Hammer Drop, Triple Stars, Fossil Ascension, and Wood Burst- as well as the Shards of Time sent by Delta and the Ninja Shurikens thrown by Ninja Man and Ninja Man Z-, but the real damage (of which is still not a whole lot, but rather an average amount of damage) came from the Primate Punch, Keraunos, and Icy Wind.

Keep pushing! We just might be able to-

Ninja Man Z
Ex-ASN Hunte*-

Suddenly, Ninja Man Z is knocked back by... a Beta Blast?

Don't get too comfortable; This bout has only just begun.

Blood Beta**
The Shadowy Villain

Beta Man of Universe MMRPG-CZ-1-AF-7:30***

As various members of Beta Team's B-Team-

(You're still calling us that?)

-fight against their Devil counterparts, Beta Shadow proceeds to rush at Beta Diablo. Diablo attempts to punch Beta Shadow away, only for it to be revealed that he swung at an afterimage, being combo'd by Beta Shadow at intense speeds.

...Tch.

Beta Diablo proceeds to create multiple different afterimages, each one targeting the people that attacked him during the previous turn.

---

Sky High Zone

Come on, you blue runt! We need to get going!
But what about Beck? Someone needs to help him calm down!
There's no time for this!
Mega Man's right on one thing: We can't just rush into the battle.

---

---

...We're going to need to find some sort of method to gaining some extra strength... But how?
...

...*Ahem*.

The group turns around to see two figures...

...I might have a few ideas.

---

*The original purpose of Ninja Man; He was built to defeat and capture Beta Man and Sergeant Man when Dr. Wily kidnapped the other 6 ASNs and used them as another one of his world-conquering schemes. (This story is the same for both versions of Ninja Man.)
**This name is used to avoid confusion between Beta Devil and the Anti-Omni Corrupted Beta Man.
***Alt Future 7:30, where all (or most) of the future Devil counterparts come from. First appears in the original Chaos Zone, Page 332, Post #5.
****Reference: Page 20, Post #7

Nameless Town

An odd robot walks out of what appears to be a Pub, drinking out of an unspecific non-alcoholic to-go beverage.

...Hmph. I've had better.
(Ever since I've ended up in this town, nothing has been happening. I haven't had a challenge since...)
(...What does it matter. After I defeated Mega Man, nothing can be considered a challenge anymore. I am the strongest... And yet, with nothing to test my strength with.)

The figure walks towards the opposite direction that the rain is going and for the record, this is assuming that there is some form of wind occurring alongside the storm.

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

Kirby gets up, hurt but not terribly so.

Poyo... (I've been through worse...)

Kirby checks up on Meta Knight, ROB, and Waddle Dee.

Poy poyo? (Are you guys alright?)

Meanwhile, Diablo looks over to Devious Diablos.

...Yeah, no.

With a wave of his hand, Devious Diablos turns completely to dust. The Anti-Omni energy from Devious Diablos is then absorbed by Beta Diablo, slightly boosting his own power while also gaining his abilities.

[ [(Hopefully they won't know I can only do that to those infected with Anti-Omni energy. As long as they aren't aware, they'll think that I COULD, and it SHOULD throw them off their rhythm... If only slightly. But at least this information has been made 4th-wall proof.)]{spoiler}]{flame_defense}

Beta Diablo avoids the star spat out by Keeby. However, a sudden temporal distortion holds him in place long enough to get hit by the Max Flutterby and PK Hax Ω, which deals decent and slight damage, respectively.

...First off, this is technically my third battle, meaning I've been revived twice. And actually, I technically never died the first time; That first time, the Anti-Omni Meme was turned into the Omega Meme*.
Secondly, who had the gull...?

Beta Diablo turns around to see Delta Paradox in his Overclocked state!

What? You think that I'd miss out on this party?

Before Beta Diablo could respond, he is caught by Mighty's attack. This is joined by Beta Shadow knocking back Diablo and putting him into a combo of his own, ending with a point-blank Light-Core Element Ball.

---

Cranky's Hut

K. Rool is knocked back by the flurry of punches. I forget where we were with the Coda group, so I'm going to go ahead and say that all but Coda Surge are already dead. Evil Mario is nowhere to be seen...

Devil K. Rool slowly gets up, then takes a step forward in attempt to rush at Pinky... When the sound of yet another entree coming in is suddenly heard. The figure stands tall, holding the separated head of Pi Devil...

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this is the end of the line for you...
...You falsified, red-scaled marauder.

King K. Rool?
The Kremling Kommander?

---

*Reference: The Absurd Roleplay, Page 77, Post #14

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

Beta Diablo, after being pummeled by both Mighty and Beta Shadow, knocks the two away with the equal force of both attacks combined.

Keebii! (Keeby!)

Beta Man Z, after being curbstomped, lands next to the two puffballs, quickly getting back up after Nuru is blasted off of him by Rhys while Beta Diablo deals with the Hallowitzer... Which is actually dealing a good amount of damage? Not too much, mind you, but it's rather effective, actually. Huh.

Poy poyo poy? (How have you been?)
Hey, uh. Pardon the interruption, but don't you think you could...?
Poy! Poyo! (Oh! Sorry!)

As Beta Diablo uses a mighty punch to force the giant mech back a decent distance, he simply blocks the attacks from M' FF and Orange, and takes merely slight damage from the Nucleation. However, the Trinity Dream manages to pack a bit of a punch... Even moreso after Kirby joins in, adding some of the Star Rod's power to the attack!

Persistent pests...!

Beta Devil rushes at Meta Knight, ROB, Bandanna Dee, and Kirby at blinding speeds, knocking them all to the ground before launching a barrage of energy blasts at the four. Meanwhile, five afterimages of Diablo fires large beams of energy at the Anti-Devil Hallowitzer.

@Usurp : (OOC) It's a black-and-white/greyscale filter. Of which could be done with just about any form of image editing software, I'm certain.

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

Beta Diablo catches Bladesmatter's sword with his bare hands.

...Say, your sword is sentient, right? I wonder how THIS will feel for it.

Diablo then proceeds to shatter Steller's blade before tossing Bladesmatter aside. He then gets hit rather hard by both the Discharge and BFG 9000, which actually deals decent damage, but not the extreme damage they were looking for. The same goes for the Giga Blast, but at a slightly lesser degree, while the PK Cyclone γ does rather little damage.

Meanwhile, the attacks from the Brash Crew also does similarly little damage, but the damage racks up due to how many hits were landed to begin with. This changes with the Black Metal Lasers, of which deals decent damage... For the first 3 hits where it landed, right before Beta Diablo places up a barrier that negated the rest of the lasers, as well as Mighty's attacks. (Yes, even the one that would've sent him into a wall.)

As soon as the barrier is set down, however (leaving him vulnerable to the attacks from the Evil Eye Sigma, Tinker Tank, and Marshmallow, though it deals only slight damage, the tea hardly any), a barrage of missiles attack Diablo... Which does next to nothing in terms of damage, but was enough of a distraction to allow for him to get hit by two gut punches...

Let's show this guy what for!

Beta Man Z
A Jaxed Hero

Beta Man of Universe MMRPG-AJAX

Everything you've done, and everything you plan to do, you won't get away with ANY of it!

The gut punches are followed up by a pair of charged up Beta Blasts γ, which knocks Beta Diablo back slightly as Beta Shadow follows up with Ka Ka Kachi Daze!

---

Sky High Zone

Mega Man tries to get Beck to calm down as Shadow suddenly warps onto the scene with the rest of Sonic, Mario, and Mega Man's group. I really need a name for this, don't I?

Hey, Shad! What's-
No time for pleasant conversation. Beta Devil is here.
WHAT!?

---

New Beta Blast levels: β, γ

Ka Ka Kachi Daze - (Impact) A flurry of kicks and punches sent at impossible speeds. A combo move used by those who master Ultra Instinct.

Beta Diablo is hit by the Stored Power, taking slightly more damage than he normally would've due to being distracted. ...Which means he has been hurt by a rather small amount, but it's still more than nothing.

He then turns his focus to the Mech-X droids, waving his arm once more to create yet another wave of energy, this time destroying the Mech-X droids in one fell swoop!

The Void


In any case, after I was captured by the boy, I was eventually released soon after. Something about how I was "corrupting" everything around me. Which, by the way, what a proper way to thank someone for essentially giving them a bunch of Rare Candy. If anything, I was beneficial to him. (Though, to be frank, it may also be because I had too many of them on me for whatever reason. I don't even remember why or even how I did that.)

Anyways, fast forward to a couple years, and I ended up interested in this dimension called "Discorded Adventures 2.0." Not sure why, just kinda felt like a home to me in a strange sort-of... "deja-vu" kind of way*. But, in order to enter, I needed a vessel... So, I built one out of the spare parts of a "robot master" named "Time Man". Then, one thing led to another, and now, here we are.

I see... So, you wanted to leave the Void not just for revenge, but also you wanted to see more of it... So what made you want to return here?


...Because people never change. As long as they see themselves as right, they will always crave destruction. And those who wish to protect it will not be able to convince those who wish to destroy. And thus, they, too, are forced into a role of destruction to fight back against those who refuse change for the better.

And, furthermore, there are even situations where there isn't any right or wrong. As long as there is more than one side to it- and there always is- there will always be conflict. War. Destruction. The world is merely doomed for destruction. Those in the right only fight to prolong what is inevitable.

...And you don't think there's any other way around it?


There is. It's just impossible to reach, because it would require for every being in the world to not only agree, but also commit to the same thing. But no matter what, there will always be at least ONE person who will not. So what reason is there to go for it?

...I see. Well, I thi-

Suddenly, a particular figure bumps into Missingno.


*Ahem*. You mind?

Sorry. This place is so much of a glitchy mess, you kinda just blend into the surroundings. Excuse me.

Primetime Gemini leaves the area.


...So, you were saying?

Right, right. As I was saying, I think you're looking at things the wrong way. Sure, you probably can't change the minds of everyone in the world and make them all agree on the same thing... But even if you could, what kind of world would that be?
The most amazing part of the world beyond the Void is that nothing is the same. Everything is different. The landscapes, the climates... Even the people. If everyone and everything was the same... Well. I think it'd be just like the Void. Dull, boring, and not worth living in.
If nothing is going to change their ways, then what is locking yourself up in here going to do? The best thing you can do is simply just let people be themselves. Maybe then, you could perhaps learn to be yourself around them, as well?


...I don't think "myself" fits in out there.

Lots of people don't. Like I said, it's what makes the world worth living in.


...

---

*Missingno. actually had a presence in the original Ajax Roleplays, and even briefly at the start of the first Discorded Adventures; Both appearances, however, were of a different iteration of Missingno.

Oh. This should be fun.

Beta Diablo catches the Shock Wave, deflecting it to Collateral Aeon while using it to counteract the Hydro Crash, then tanks the rest of the attacks like a champ. Suddenly, a blue blur hops off of some of the danmaku, punching Beta Diablo at full force! ...With only minimal effect.

You might have power, but you won't be able to defeat all of us!

Beta Diablo grabs Beta Shadow and throws him to the ground.

We'll see.

Beta Diablo then spawns 100,000,000,000 needles of pure energy, raining them down on all opponenets... Only for a large energy shield to appear and protect everyone!

Face it, Devil. You're far outnumbered.
Send as many numbers as you want. The outcome remains all the same.

Suddenly, a ton of Mark-X Jazz Droids surround Beta Diablo!

If you insist.

The Mark-X Droids proceed to barrage Beta Diablo with Jazz Beams +! It doesn't deal much damage at all, but it seems to provide a decent distraction...

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

The Gigavolt Havoc launches Beta Devil into a wall, as well as causes the ki bubble to drop. Devil takes a moment, but recovers relatively quickly.

...
...Heh. I'd be happy to take at least partial credit for everything that Beta Shadow has done.

---

---

I am merely a physical form of what laid within Beta Shadow's heart all along... No. I am the evil within ALL Reapers, given flesh. No one is without sin. Not Defteros. Not Daiyousei. Not even-
Kirby?
...Not... Who I was going to say. I mean, you could probably argue that-
Wait, Kirb-

Suddenly, a star-shaped blast knocks Beta Devil into yet another wall...

Poy poyo! (Hey there!)

Kirby
Hero of Dreamland

...Surrounded by heroes, Berserk Instinct left completely vulnerable by Ultra Instinct's aura, and now even the top of the hierarchy is here to kick my .
Yep. Can't afford to hold back anymore.

---

Doppler Labs - Guest Room

Suddenly, Pikason, Bane, and Fortem (who was apparently there, in a part of the room where Sonic and Wave were not) perks up as a surge of evil power is sensed once again by all of Beta Shadow's characters.



...Chuu. (He's here.)

---

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

A figure hovers above the group, the entire roof of the area having crumbled down...

...I'll admit. It's impressive how quickly you pushed me to this point. But, it only makes it clearer now... I am not to take you heroes lightly.
So, make no mistake... You bare witness to the epitome of evil. And you all will fall by my hand.

Beta Diablo
Evil at its Pinnacle

---

*Yes, this was the original appearance of the Anti-Omni Meme. No, you don't get any context.

...You understand what I'm saying? Rotom. Yveltal. Bt Ghost. Necrozma. Ninja Ghost. While no problems have currently risen from your current cast- of which 4 was noted to be of Bt's creation, while 1 was noted to be of Ninja Ghost's-... There would be no telling how dangerous it would be to release the likes of the others under such creators... Especially the likes of those under Rotom*, Necrozma*, and Ninja Ghost.
So for the sake of Allegrotropolis and the world, I must prevent you from fulfilling this deal of yours.
...Is that so? Quite a shame.
Quite a shame, indeed. ...In what way?
Oh, you know...
...The fact that you never caught the REAL me.
!

Suddenly, the door flings open, sending light into the room...

Sir Sergeant! Sir Sergeant! The military base at the town's outskirts have been breached!
No matter what it takes, you must ensure that Primetime Gemini does not use that transporter.

Sergeant Fanfare
Leading Defender of Allegrotropolis

Sergeant Man of Universe MMRPG-CZ-1

That's... Going to be a problem, sir.
And why is that...?
...He... Already used the transporter, sir.
...

---

*While there is no guarantee that Rotom will even use any of the robots he made for the Ajax Roleplays- let alone have them cause trouble- I did say ALL the robots.

Sky High Zone

Is something wrong...?

---

Allegrotropolis Security Force HQ

...Well, I'm sorry to say, Mr. Gemini, but the object I know for a fact you're after is the very reason your stuff was taken into our custody; That Void Transporter of yours is far too dangerous for us to allow you to keep.
No, I'm sorry. I made a promise to FREE the Robot Masters of my universe; If I do not, then I will surely be killed!
...Keeping you safe from those trying to kill you is why we have police, Mr. Gemini.
So it's alright for me to go against my own word?
It was your word that stated that your little tournament would be safe. And we BOTH know how it ended.
...
And furthermore... It's alright of you to go against your word if it means keeping the city- and the world at it's whole- safe from the monsters amongst those you wish to save from the Void.
Oh, like you'd know anything about my deceased universe.
I don't. But I have a friend that studies a LOT on the Multiverse who DOES.

A Sniper Joe 01* rolls in a TV with a CD. The figure puts in the CD and starts playing a sideshow of sorts...

All records- Or, rather, what there was that we could gather- state that these events took place in 20XX. But, for the sake of a more proper timelapse, I shall date these events in accordance to when they would've occurred in this universe.

---

---

*The Sniper Joe design from Mega Man 7.
**All of which occurred in the Ajax chatroom roleplays.
**+I do not have enough confidence in my art skills to properly draw Yveltal, Giratina, or Necrozma.

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

Enough of this.

Beta Devil waves his arm, creating a large wave of energy that surrounds himself, disrupting all the attacks.

What part of my words are you not getting!? This. Is. NOT. Your. Fight!
You're wrong.
...Do you wish to run that by me again?
The last time we fought, you single-handedly humiliated me. But while I was unconscious, I came to a realization...



...I might not be stronger on my own... But that's the thing. Unlike you, I am NOT alone. This fight belongs to my friends as much as it does to me. And together, we WILL defeat you.

...Wow. I honestly can't believe you said that.
Yeah, I know. It's a little corny, but-
No no, not that. I mean, yeah, it's corny. But I was referring to the fact that you think that those absolute fools are your "friends".
Actually, you know what? Time out. We're going to take a slight break from the fight so I could show to you the truth.

Suddenly, Beta Shadow becomes trapped in a sphere of red ki!

Alrighty, folks; Let's all go around the room and tell our little Reaper friend here what we REALLY think about him.
We'll have Rotom go LAST. It's the truth, so I want to make sure this HURTS.

A message appears for RAY (and only RAY)...

APOLOGIES, SUBJECT "RAY". BUT IT IS IN ACCORDANCE TO THE PLOT THAT SUBJECT "Prototype" IS THE ONE TO HEAD OUT.

---

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

...I'll give you fools some credit.

Focusing his energy, Beta Devil catches the Charge Beams in his hands, condensing them into a smaller-scaled ball!

You're all persistent.

Beta Devil then warps over to the appearing Aeons and slams the condensed ball of energy into the group!

But seeing as I frankly don't give a about any of you, I'll merely save your worthless lives for later. For now, there's but ONE person I want to focus on.

Beta Shadow stands ready.

Well, then, come at me! Whatever you've got, I'm ready for it!
I'll be the judge of that.

Beta Devil spawns spikes from the ground in attempt to pierce Beta Shadow, who dodges them all flawlessly. Beta Shadow then goes for a punch, only for Beta Devil to avoid the attack and gutpunch Beta Shadow. Beta Shadow is knocked back, but quickly recovers.

---

The Void

...Right. So... Why should you not stay in the Void.
Well, let's begin with this: Why did you want to leave the Void to begin with?

...Essentially, revenge. I know not of my life prior to the Void. But what I do know is based off of various... Guesses, truthfully. I have heard legends about Arceus, the creator of all Pokemon. How, under his will, the Titan pulled the continents, the lake guardians upkept the emotional spectrum, and all of Time and Space was kept intact by the dragons who control it. ...And then I have heard about Giratina, the beast of darkness, and how he was banished into another dimension by Arceus himself.

That was when I theorized... that Arceus was the reason I remained trapped here. And from that point forwards, I wanted revenge on him. ...Though, I suppose it isn't the only reason...

I've heard many tales about the wonders of the world beyond the Void. The sights. The sounds. The people. ...Basically, it's not just a plane of complete nothingness. It sounded... Intriguing. And I thought that, as a bit of an intellectual... That I would learn MORE about it.

So, I decided to search for an entrance to the outside world. It took a long time, but one way or another, I found a way...

---

Cinnabar Island Coast, 1996

...So, this is the outside world... How interesting.
...And I suppose you're the one responsible for releasing me from the Void. I would like to thank you properly... Is there anything you require of me?
...
...A man of few words, I see. Alright, that is respectable. Well, in that case, allow me to-

---

...I am almost surprised that, out of all the things I've expected of the outside world, a small ball used for capturing creatures was not one of them.

I bring to you today another new fighter... Or is it two?

Name: Bane and Fortem
Archetype: Speed

Moveset

Gimmick: As one is fighting, the other will follow in the background. Sometimes, they will pick up nearby items and bring them to the other, long as they aren’t already holding an item (similar to how teammates will normally go to items and pick them up as long as the bag isn’t full). Pressing Shield+Special will cause the two to switch places.

Jab: Scratch, Scratch, Peck (rapid) | Chop, Chop, Uppercut
Up Tilt: Peck | Headbutt
Down Tilt: Sweep Kick | Slide Kick
Forward Tilt: Basic Attack
Dash Attack: Peck | Roll

Forward Smash: Kick | Upwards Slash w/ Blade of Water
Down Smash: Summons two pillars of fire on both sides of himself | The same, but with water
Up Smash: Small burst of fire upwards | Small stream of water upwards

Neutral Aerial: Spins Forwards | Spins Around
Forward Aerial: Scratch | Chop
Back Aerial: Burst of Fire | Blade of Water
Down Aerial: Downwards Spiral with Beak | Spray of Water
Up Aerial: Peck | Upwards Stomp

Grab: Grabs with Beak | Grabs Chest Area
Pummel: Scratch | Chop
Up Throw: Upwards Throw with Beak | Launches Upwards with Stream of Water
Down Throw: Slams foe on Ground and breathes fire | Sets foe on ground and chops their back
Forward Throw: Tosses foe forwards with beak | Pound shrouded in water
Back Throw: Tosses backwards with beak | Rolls on back, then kicks off opponent

Normal Special: Ember- A fireball attack that gets stronger the more it’s charged up. | Water Pulse - Launches a pulse of water that deals non-flinching damage, though causes the foe to become dizzy. Has a relatively short distance.
Forward Special: Blaze Kick - Kicks the foe with a flaming foot; Similar to Mii Brawler’s Exploding Side Kick. | Ice Beam - Fires a beam of ice that damages and freezes foes on contact.
Down Special: Hi Jump Kick - Jumps in the air before preforming a flaming dropkick. A devastating attack... Even when it misses, which either deals damage to Bane, or simply continues the path all the way to the blast zone. | Rock Tomb - Drops a ton of boulders in front of Fortem. This grounds opponents caught in the attack.
Up Special: Aerial Ace - An upwards double-kicking attack that sends Bane into the air a good distance. | Water Gun - Similar to Greninja’s Hydro Pump, but only uses a singular pulse.

Final Smash: Alliance - Bane or Fortem knocks away nearby opponents while both undergo a glow. Both will then go into their full evolution forms before attacking the primarily trapped opponent with an Alliance attack, consisting of Blaze Kick and Water Shuriken, launching said opponent.

Taunts

Up Taunt: Bane hops into the air while raising his right foot. “Yeah!” | Fortem puffs up his chest, looking confident. “Eheheh...”
Side Taunt: Bane steps forwards while his feathers flare up. “C’mon!” | Fortem fistpumps the air. “Woohoo!”
Down Taunt: Bane balances for a moment on his right foot. | Fortem blows out a small stream of bubbles.

Victory

Animation 1: Bane and Fortem runs a bit towards the screen before stopping, hopping into the air in celebration. “Alright, we did it!”
Animation 2: Both hops into the air, performing some form of “high-five”. “We both did great!”
Animation 3: Both sit underneath a tree that seems to have come out of nowhere, watching the clouds.
Victory Theme: Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon - Partner’s Theme

Alts



Default - Orange/Yellow | Blue
Alt 1 - Yellow/Orange - Shiny | Light Blue - Shiny
Alt 2 - Blue/White - Color Swap | Orange - Color Swap
Alt 3 - Yellow/Brown - Pikachu | Brown - Eevee
Alt 4 - Yellow/Red - Fennekin | Green - Treecko
Alt 5 - Navy/Tan - Cyndaquil | Green - Bulbasaur
Alt 6 - Blue/Yellow - Piplup | Green - Snivy
Alt 7 - Brown/Green - Rowlet | Blue - Sobble

And they also have their own stage! (Though it technically doesn't originate from their game...)

Stage: Temporal Tower
Advantages: Platforms occasionally rise from pitfalls temporarily.
Disadvantages: Primal Dialga occasionally appears to attack in random spots on the field. Getting hit will temporarily slow down the target.

But I'm not done yet!

I've also decided to add in one new thing I made: Some Classic Mode routes I made for my characters!

I will be adding more to it as I make more characters. Enjoy! I guess.

Joyous Tower - Level 100

Beta Devil simply sidesteps the attack.

What, you think I actually care about your little "prerequisites"?* Besides, it's not like YOU are one to talk, especially when it comes to playing "fair".

Beta Shadow knocks Beta Devil away. Devil retaliates with a barrage of energy blasts, of which Beta Shadow deflects before striking back with a Light Core Element Ball.

---

The Void

...You see that? THAT is another problem with the outside world; Everyone is so inclined to talk down upon others in order to be seen as right.

I dunno; From what I've heard about you so far, I feel like you aren't so immune to that yourself.

Perhaps. But that was when I was going through... Complicated matters. And furthermore, it isn't just matters like "right and wrong", or "the meaning of the world"; People also complain about the most trivial things, as well; What toppings go on a pizza? When is Mega Man 5 going to be released? What would win in a fight between one of every Pokemon and a billion lions?

...Huh. What would win in a battle between one of every Pokemon and a billion lions?

Neither. If a lion kills Dialga and Palkia, time and space will fall apart, and everything will die.

I dunno. Even if it wasn't in a territory where Dialga and Palkia has no dominion, how are lions supposed to kill them to begin with?

You kidding? We're talking a billion lions here. They-

Missingno. quickly realizes what was happening as Ashura looks at him with a smug grin.

...You think you're so clever, don't you, hedgehog? Fine. It's YOUR turn; You try and convince ME on why I shouldn't just cut all ties I have to the Plane of Existence to live a life of solitude. Humor me, needlemouse.

---

Element Ball (RECAP) - (Any) A ball of pure elemental energy, used by Beta Shadow and his alternates. Beta Shadow, Omega Element, and Beta Devil are capable of using any elemental typing, while other variants use variants based on their main element.

---

*Though, that isn't to say I haven't massacred every Pokemon down there to rack up levels. You may or may not need to do some cleanup, Rotom. Or not, considering your OWN life will come after HIS.

Joyous Tower - Level 100

The Thunderbolt deals no damage to Beta Devil.

For the record, "Beta Reaper 2" was just a copy Beta Shadow made of himself whenever he himself becomes unavailable for one reason or another. Also, Sonic currently has the Chaos Emeralds.
Screw it. If I cannot destroy the universe, then I'll start small.

Beta Devil warps in front of Rotom and flings him into a wall with dark energy.

I meant what I said when I was going to show ambition. I WILL take the initiative, even if I must do so one step at a time. And the sinful one. Will. Die.

Beta Shadow goes into his Full Release form.

Then I hope you wrote your epitaph. Because this ends NOW.

Beta Shadow rushes at Beta Devil faster than Rotom could even blink, aiming to punch him straight in the face. ...Beta Devil catches the fist just as instantaneously.

Agreed... But just don't pretend to have a clean track record. It's why you're even here to begin with, after all; A feeble attempt to make up with someone too STUBBORN to change.

Central Highway

X and Zero are currently bewildered by what just happened.

...X. You take on Nightmare Iris.
Huh? ...Uh, ok...

X prepares to face off with Nightmare Iris as Zero pulls RX aside.

Whatever's going on here, and all you know about it... You will explain EVERYTHING. NOW.

...As all that happens, Omega Element is left in thought...

(...Out of all the people here to attack... Why the hell was I the only one Team Mecha spared?)
(...Did Team Mecha think I couldn't do anything? What exactly could these guys do against him that I couldn't? I don't think that Mecha Sonic is THAT confident.
(...Wait... Do they still think that I'm some kind of bad guy?)
(N-no. Surely not... I've been working well alongside the Beta Team, despite not actually being a member. I'm sure they see me as a good guy... Right?)

(...)
(...No. Now isn't the time to start doubting myself.)
(...Those duplicates of me and the others are likely still out there. I need to find the others and ready ourselves.)
(...After I get my actual outfit back.)

Omega Element warps away.

DIMENSION UNKNOWN

...YOU REALIZE THAT BETA DEVIL HAS MADE HIS MOVE, CORRECT?
I'm well aware.
...AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
I prefer not to, no.
...MIGHT I ASK WHY?
Because patience is a virtue, my good friend. If I rush things now, my plans will fall apart far too easily, and I'll just become yet another mark in the sea of forgetability. That goes against everything of which I strive for.
If that Devil wishes to face utter defeat far earlier than intended? Let him. As a matter of fact, it'll even lead to that Singularity group to hop in for real. And I think I'd prefer to share an arc with THEM rather than the discorded one-note.

Small Bit of Subspace*

The good news? I won. The bad news? We might have a bigger problem to worry about.

Joyous Tower - Floor 100

Beta Shadow absorbs the other two Noise Crushes, and proceeds t-

---

...You're right, Vaati. I HAVE done nothing more than sit and do nothing. But it isn't because I am weak.

Suddenly, Devil K. Rool's power increases tenfold, as the demon proceeds to lose all sense of control. In a violent rage, it lunges at Pinky Kong at more-than-impossible speeds, aiming to bite at his throat.

---

No. I wanted to play one last game with these pathetic mortals. Make them believe to have a chance, before ultimately crushing their hopes as I destroy them, down to the very last molecule of their soul.

Beams of red light begin to strike down upon random buildings all over the world except for Mega City. Lighter beams seem to leave no trail of destruction, but rather infects everyone with a seemingly stronger form of Anti-Omni Corruption, causing them to develop intense bloodlust and killing everyone they see, including those who are also under the same effects. Darker red beams seem to immediately destroy everything in sight, especially the people. Tens of people are dying by the second.

---

But ultimately, you made me realize; If I just sit and do nothing, that'll leave them all with more than enough time to prepare.

Suddenly, Rika's doors are completely destroyed as an army of figures completely identical to Beta Devil swarm in, attacking the group within without warning.

---

But you are not the only one familiar with the taste of defeat. And much like you, I have no intention of tasting it again.

As X and Zero prepares to once again strike at Nightmare Iris, Beta Devil copies begin to swarm the area. One such clone sneaks behind N. Iris and rips her head off.

H-huh!? Who are THESE guys!?

Omega Element suddenly warps in front of X before going into his Hakaishin** form.

Not friends.

Omega then communicates telepathically to the members of Brash Crew that are there...

There is certain to be more approaching the lab. Abandon the mission here and help the others. We'll try to handle things here.

...It is you who has brought to light that only the strong can make their ideals reality... Or, well. Not you alone. In fact, to add on to the point... Strength is meaningless without the ambition to use it.

Proto MKII. Worship***. Hades Quartet. Team Mecha. Trio.EXE. Regulus. Grey Matter. In some shape or form, they had not only power, but ambition. That ambition... Somehow, I feel like that is what I have lacked all along. The ambition to stop holding back. To not play with my food.

...Beta Shadow struggles to get up and out from the rubble of once was the Joyous Tower... Then stares in silent anger at the one who destroyed it.

...But now, with strength and ambition... All things will DIE. Weak. Strong. None will survive, for even a world of only the strong has no meaning in the end. Life itself. Must. Be. PURGED.
...That being said... I still would like to have a LITTLE fun first. The golden one will DIE for his sins, by the very HANDS of his sins.

*Yes, the exact subspace MEGA is in, though not quite the same location as MEGA first appeared in.
**Taught to him by Scooby-Doo during the Regulus Arc. This does not apply any form of true godlike status, however.

***For the record, Worship isn't being called "evil" in this context. I am merely complimenting on his strength AND prominence; Hence why Hades was mentioned over Jazz Hands or Wario-Man, as well as why Surge Man was left unmentioned.

...Immediately betrays that alliance so that they could kill him* and allow for him to merge with a Regulhalla citizen*, and threatened all of Gensokyo with a giant Force Beam generator, simply because of a few dumb bots who already gave up to begin with.* And you know what he does instead of trying to owe up to his wrongdoings? He just builds a spaceship and decides to take off for another planet!** But not just himself, he decides to take us with him as well! And does he even ask if we wanted to leave the planet? NO! He just... assumed we wanted to come with him!

...Did you?

...I didn’t really care for where exactly I was, especially after the bombshell Kogasa gave me about the Real World***. As for the other two... Apparently, they- especially Techno- wants to “help him”. And... I think Techno wants to stick by me, as well.

Which, that irks me even more! Did they both just forget about the awful things Jazz did!? Did Orchestra forget the awful things Jazz did to HIM!? ...Did Techno forget what I did to him?

...Sometimes, I swear... The mercy some of these heroes have is what’s going to get them all KILLED.
