Dark catches the device.


It's a start, but it's not perfect. Leave it to me. This is for Hindu...?

Dark looks at Wargreymon

I hate to think there are others besides Trio who can do it but...it may have been an omnihole.

We might have a bit of a language gap here.


He said..."honestly can't understand a word of what you just said. maybe you have aaaaa a aa a aa. a trans later? like, the spoon thing"

Dark starts making weird noises

(No direct translator I'm afraid, just me. But if you want I should be able to make one pretty easily.)

Dark listens to the next beeping session

This time... "oops. again. this thing pops up every time i sit somewhere, can you imagine? i saw this taunt on the auction and thought it was pretty cool, but now i dunno how to get rid of it."

Taunt? Where'd he buy it Marketplace.tf? Just tell him I'm glad he escaped.

Ah come on Tiny, you can't just assume gender like that. Ask for pronouns Dark boy.

(The tiger there is Tiny, you might know him, I think he has a reputation in the void. He's glad you're out.)

54 68 61 74 27 73 20 44 6f 63 20 52 6f 62 6f 74 2c 20 68 65 27 73 20 61 73 6b 69 6e 67 20 66 6f 72 20 70 72 6f 6e 6f 75 6e 73 20 61 6e 64 20 69 73 20 61 20 62 69 74 20 6f 66 20 61 6e 20 69 64 69 6f 74 2e

(That's Doc Robot, he's asking for pronouns and is a bit of an idiot.)

41 6e 64 20 79 6f 75 20 63 61 6e 20 6a 75 73 74 20 63 61 6c 6c 20 6d 65 20 44 61 72 6b 2e 20

(And you can just call me Dark. )

Tiny snaps out of his trance, stands up, and Brass Knuckles Gyro T right in the skull!

Tiny sees the rift

He seems to be having flash backs...

Oh god...

He falls to his knees

Oh god oh god oh god...


owie&


woooow& y'all smell weird. honestly can't even remember when i last smelled something pleasant.


that pancake party sent me rift hopping, can you imagine?

...
what do you even call this warp, anyway? looks gloomy.

That's what it said.


Tiny regains his balance and sees the funny triangle

So you escaped too huh?

This is...outside the void...welcome. Welcome outside. It's not much at the moment but...it's...better than in there...

What's he rambling on about?

No hard feelings right?

Tiny grabs Shieldy, somehow, and throws her at Star T to finish Circus Ball!

You're the heaviest one here, sorry!

Huh.

Spectrum takes his leave and heads for the coordinates.




I think by intruders the knife meant us.

Hey, I was an unwilling accomplice!


The group remains silent.

Oh right, hey, I'm, still L. I just had a bit of a panic attack and uh, decided I needed my own body! Heh...

...

WHY ARE YOU SO TALL?

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE YOU ARE 6 FEET TALL FUCK YOU

So wait are these...shades, or those glasses the blind wear to hide their hideously malformed eyes?

Tiny throws a Circus Ball at BlasT...

L and Dark follow the directions given to them by the Commander...

Left this way...right that way,

OOF!

Walking right into the counter of Artillery Haven
Coming up to the counter is Artillery Man himself, who is almost shaped like a missile.

Now what are you doing here short fellas? Can't you tell I'm workin?

Would it be too much to ask what you're working on that's more important than the Commander's commission? Because we're here to pay for it.

Y-Yeah! What he said!

Well I reckon nothings more important, cus that's what I'm working on right now!

He puts the Bamboom on the table

Almost out of cores, this is the last Missile core in stock!

Well why don't you let the one and only take care of that!

L opens his chestplate, removes the red gem, and produces a Super Copy core
Dark is...confused

Ram finally manages to find Dagger Man

Mr. Dagger Mr. Dagger! My computer got...this message...you should see it for yourself.

Ugh, I just got a report of a disturbance, what now?

Dagger reads the message

...You have a built in intercom right?


Yes...why?

Oof!

Dagger Man grabs said intercom from Ram Man's side

Spectrum Man: Please report to the following coordinates: XX XX XX
Intruders from 16:00 Conglomerate time and Tiny, please report to District 2.

I think that's us, see you later Artillery.
Hey wait! Is there any chance I can get more of those cores?

When we get back sure!

Spectrum Man is...frustrated.
He brings out a phone, and once he's done he looks back at Reggae.

I have to go. Just get to District 3 anyways. Match Man will be waiting.

Tiny seethes at Dust, preparing to attack him again before Doc Robot gets up and stops him.

He's fine. Trust me...he's...been through worse.

And why should I trust you?

Why would I lie to you? I may not be the most virtuous soul, but why would I lie to you about a mutual friends well being?

Tiny calms down...

Tiny uses recon preformance

TRIGGER WARNING:
VERY SENSITIVE TOPICS
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ, JUST KNOW THAT
ONE
HAS ESCAPED THE VOID

Color...color! Color in the distance! I can...huff...i need to get over there!
I'm...getting thirsty...I should of gotten a drink at the city....
Huff...
Huff....
Huff

....




Ugh!
...
Ok...
Can you tell me where I am?
...
No...I will get out...
Are these....corpses?
...
Murderer! You...psychopath!

A gunshot.

What...what have I done...
I'm...so thirsty...
...

Noises of drinking...then vomiting...

There is blood.
And a flower with a large hole in the middle in the water.


....


I just want to go home....

Sobbing continues for the rest of the tape...


......

What...is this place?
It looks like some business...
There's a bunch of weird robots...one wearing a top hat....
Is that...Panny?
Is that...me?
Where....
Where am I?
WHERE AM I?

ONE
is in a building.
Organized.
He touches one of the time frozen bodies.
Their pulse is still there.
Their agony never ends.
...

there are no such thing as retcons. If THEY change their minds, time ends. We all die.

...

The remnants of the universe I was just in...?
Does that mean...I'm...safe? I'm in the true timeline?

ONE
finds what appears to be part of a King robot.


....

Certain universes have undecided rules...
When they collapse
The victims may be trapped in the collapsing reality, or able to move somewhat freely into a new universe

Is this...a pit...full of...children?
They're....all the same child...
They're all dead....

Footsteps

Is it...changing? Is that...ME?

ONE
looks into the pit. The Cesspit.
Corpses of a small tiger appear to fill it.
Some with eyepatches.
Some with gruesome wounds.
ONE
steps closer.
His corpse appears to now fill the pit.

....

If anyone finds me...I tried to escape...but...I just couldn't...I just...want out...even if it means I die.


Sobbing.

A click.

More sobbing.

Out of bullets...

...
ONE
finds himself in a stone tower.
Up the stairs.
ONE
finds a machine.
ONE
tinkers with it.
A portal opens.
ONE
enters.
ONE
has escaped.

ONE
finds himself in a deprecated city.

A cassette tape on the ground.

ONE
modifies his arm cannon to read it.

ONE
inserts it.

Where am I? Oh god...where am I? Where am I? Where am I? WHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMIWHEREAMI!?

The tape devolves into sobbing.

I'M FINE I'M FINE I'M FINE...I'm fine... I just need to find someone....I just need to find someone...I just...need...to find someone. What...is the tape fall-

Another tape.


ONE
Inserts.

I...haven't found anyone. My tape recorder seems to be broken...every tape seems to fall out if it lasts too long. I can...barely breath...there has to be someone here right?

Footsteps against the concrete.

ONE
looks.
The dirt in the shape of paws are still there.
Hello? Anyone? Oh no...oh dear...I don't...feel right...I've only got about 20 tapes...I'll have to be more sparing if I want help to fin-

ONE
assumes he was going to say "find me".


ONE
follows the dirty pawprints. Surely a good start to escaping.

Tiny charges towards Dust T with a clawed Tiger Claw!

Dark's head glass breaks, barely avoiding falling ontop of Chord.

Dark: Ow. Ow. Ow. It's, fine, it'll fix when we fuse again.

Have you tried using a credit card?

Dark turns to Chord

Oh- no.

He runs over...

CHORD!

I've already lost enough...and now...Chord.....

Tiny is now the active unit!

Dark stands up from the dogpile of him and Doc

That. Hurt.

Dark Assault on Gyro!

Ok well now you've piqued my interest. Tiny can wait, I'm joining this escapade

They're barely taking any damage now...well...they can't debuff all of us...

Doc Essence, attack boost!

...

Tales tell of the void being inescapable if entered unwillingly.

But tales also tell of the exception.

An unlikely one, in the form of a small tiger.
His time in the void made him stronger than any organic beings I've heard of.

But he will not be the last to escape.
I have a mission.
I have to destroy every trace of Wily.
I don't care if he's "not evil."
The fusing abomination must die.

The tiger was the first to escape.
And he certainly won't be the last.

Something whizzes by Artifenix, yelling something about a no good bounty hunter.

After a second it turns around

Hey have you seen-

What...what are you doing?

Spectrum Man: He lives!

---

Uh, yeah, thanks or whatever

That doesn't sound sincere.

Thank you very much for the heal.

Who knew the one named Dark Elite would be the nicer one?

IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP I SWEAR TO- WHERE DID HE GO?

Tiny has resorted to hiding behind Shieldy for his own safety from Doc.

Say anything and I'm killing you.

Doc Elite looks over at the fan

Zoooo...AMBER

Let's get a BONFIRE going shall we?

Doc Elite uses Fire Storm, aiming at Blast T!

Really could of used this with those Hydrakins.

After the flame dies down, Tiny charges at Doc Elite, jamming something on him!

WHAT THE HELL? DID YOU JUST JACK ME OR SOMETHING?

Conglomerate protocol. See someone talking about something you don't know, and get the info out forcefully. Easier for robots, naturally. Besides, you two are wanted criminals, you owe us.
