...How is-a this possible? The Subspace Army was-a defeated 12 years* ago! The only-a way for them to be created is through Shadow Bugs, and you couldn't have-a possibly taken Mr. Game & Watch from-a us...
HA! We didn't even need that old-timer! Making a NEW Subspace Army can be done with just about any regular ol' Flat Zoner! And fortunately, we happen to know of one... Don't we, Stanley?
...We? What do you mean by-a we? ...Also, how do-a you know Stanley?
...You... You didn't...
HA! The look on your face, it's so priceless! Oh, and don't bother with the questions, Mario, my old enemy... Because you're not getting a single lick of information outta me... Not without a fight, that is!
Get them!
...Have we really defeated Beta Devil so easily last time?
To be fair, he was only hard because his Berserk Instinct made him immune to pain... But then Beta Shadow showed up in his Ultra Instinct, which allowed for us to actually do harm to him... And with how many people that were there, I'd say we basically ounced him in terms of power.*
Well, right now that's an entirely different story... Because now he has a NEW form that's powerful enough to knock Beta Shadow's Ultra Instinct around like a ragdoll.
...I think that the form's only PART of the reason.
Hm?
Come on, he even said it himself...
...Yes, this new form of his is stupidly powerful. Yes, he probably obtained it through some sort of stupid bull
SQUAWK! . But that doesn't change the fact that the only reason he was even able to pick up this form was because we were too lazy to stop him ourselves.
Break time is over. The time for action has come. And the training will NOT stop until we are ready to end this, once and for all.
...Gee. Other me's been really wanting to know about that thing, doesn't he?
I can kinda get where he's coming from... I mean, for starters, yes, our world has been destroyed. If someone's trying to deliberately keep secrets from us, I suppose we have a right to know...
...But what I don't get is why Beta can't see that there's a possibly good reason it's been a secret from us.
Well, what I don't get is why it's been kept from us at all. Apparently, you "Z Gang" guys know it, and you're about as sane as most others.
Yes, but there's a reason for that. Sergeant Z knows because he was reprogrammed by Jazz to know it. Added to the fact that his emotions were completely removed, he was basically programmed to remain sane despite the sudden knowledge.
...But, as for us...
We remained sane because we had other things to worry about... Like the fact that we can no longer be connected to an actual universe.




...Mama-mia... Where are-a we...?
... (The dark aura shrouding this place... Could it be...?)
...?
Hey, guys! Who's that over there?
...Finally... You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment!
My chance has finally come... To get my ultimate revenge on you...
...Mario!
Mama-mia... It's-a you!?
...Wait. Who were-a you again?
Wha- DIDN'T YOU READ THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER INTRODUCTORY SPLASH SCREEN THAT WAS STOLEN FROM BRASH BUSTER!? It's ME! Tatanga!?
...
...The alien who invaded Sarasaland? Kidnapped Daisy? I helped Wario take over that Castle that you never use*?
Oooooh! I-a remember now! How have-a you been since then, eh?
Why, quite fine, thank you-
Wait, NO! I'm your enemy, not your friend! And I've come here for REVENGE!
I-a mean, Bowser's my enemy, too, and I-a invite him to go-a Kart Racing and play-a Sports all the time-
Yeah? Well, I'm not Bowser! So DEAL WITH IT!
Do you have ANY idea the sort of humiliation I've been through!? After being defeated by you twice, I have plotted my revenge towards you... And then, one day, I overhear about your little escapades into space**. I thought I would be guaranteed a second shot against you... But APPARENTLY, the Big N believes otherwise!
But this time... THIS time I will have my revenge! And NO ONE can get in the way!
HA! 3-on-1? You're dreaming!
Oh? Who said it was only me?
...
H-huh!? What are those things...!?
...Primids.



...On a more serious note, we're trying to prepare against a particular enemy...
...You're probably aware of Beta Devil, correct?

...Also, all three of you are a part of the Robot Academy now. Insert your own reasons for it, doesn't matter to me, long as you do it.
And don't any of you even think to try and pull any sort of "Renegade team" shtick. Trust me; There's a reason we're sticking true to the plot on this one.
...Y...You... If the others were here, I would’ve-
...
...I’m sorry. Were you expecting a reward for your efforts?
So, you managed to clear one dungeon, all on your own. Big whoop. You managed surpassed the expectations that were set by merely one team before you. (And perhaps Team MKII as well, but... Well, you know.)
Don’t try and fool me. I know what this is all about, for EVERYONE who was in Soul’s little possy. This is nothing more than an attempt to escape the Chaos Zone. Don’t pretend that it isn’t at least the SLIGHTEST bit of the truth.
...But, despite the fact that I have no true interest in this world- Far from, in fact- ...The truth still remains that you have chosen the wrongest world to escape to.
Face it. This world... It is harsh. Unforgiving, to the point of punishing even the slightest mistake. I doubt that you will be capable of going any further than you already have.
...But you know what? Team Prototype has had their fair share of surprising moments. So, go ahead... See if you can prove me- Prove them- all wrong.
It’s the one thing you long for, is it not?
...Huh? ...I think I just kinda zoned out there for a moment.
Ah, forget it. I’m gonna go find the others. This place isn’t Secret Hideout material, anyways.
...FOR CLEARING A STORY MISSION, YOU RECEIVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU WOULD ANY OTHER MISSION. ALL TEAMS WHO PARTICIPATE ALSO WOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN ITEM OR MORE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, NO ADDITIONAL PRIZE COMES TO MIND FOR THIS ONE.
(I-impossible... How... How did I lose...!? I’m supposed to be the strongest,
it!)
...
...Tch. You only won because I held back. Hear me now; The next time we meet, I will not be making the same mistake.
Hello, there! Are you here to rescue me?
I kinda got lost around here... This place has turned into a Mystery Dungeon just the other night, and I wanted to do some research on this strange phenomenon, and find out the secrets behind a Mystery Dungeon’s creation... Though, I guess I lost track of where the exit was.
I must say, though, I’ve never seen robots like you two before... Where did you come from?
...Sorry, that’s probably a bit of a prying question to ask so suddenly, is it? Here...
...You two aren’t the only peculiar robots I’ve seen around here. Earlier, I’ve seen a Weapon Copy robot that sports different colors than what is normally seen from Copy Bots... If you find him, mind telling me what you find out about him?
...Sorry, but I’m afraid that isn’t my place to say.
Besides, the mere fact that you said no, and she refused your refusal simply means that she is just too stubborn to let it go... Some robots are just like that, sometimes...
...Like my stepbrother, for instance. I guarantee you that other team with the Aqua Man and Fire Man is here to “rescue” me, because I am “in danger”... Why can’t he just accept the fact that I am capable of going off on my own?
...So, if you have to deal with someone like that, too, then I guess you deserve my sympathies... somewhat. Here...
...Come to think of it, a strange, purple robot who passed by here kinda looked just like him... I wonder what that’s all about...
...Hm?


...Heh, yeah right. I can tell you’re bluffing.
...Not... that I would know from experience, obviously... I just... I see it in your face, and...
...Just... Just forget I said anything.
...I... Are you trying to make a joke? Because I don’t get it.
...Gluing me in place so I couldn’t go in for the charged shot... A bold strategy.
Let’s see what else you lot’s got.



Is that so? Alright, then, bring it!


...Hmph. I don’t get the idea of a “secret hideout”. I mean, I guess this place would work, but I still don’t see the point.
Seriously, why can’t we just make our home in the city like everyone else!? It’s not like we’re fugitives or anything...
...Hmph. But I digress, because it appears I’ve been followed.
...Say, you seem to be quite the challenge... The chumps around here were practically nothing.
...So you’d better not disappoint.
...THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CRIMINALS CROPPING UP RECENTLY, SO ANY HELP WE RECEIVE IN DEALING WITH THEM IS WELL APPRECIATED.
...HM. HOW PECULIAR... YOUR BASE MODELS DON’T SEEM TO APPEAR IN MY DATABASE... COULD YOU BE BRAND NEW MODELS, PERHAPS?
...REGARDLESS. A REWARD FOR YOUR EFFORTS ARE IN ORDER.

...Heh. This place seems rather peaceful... Maybe the others won’t mind if I take a little rest here...
...Hm?
What the-!? Who are you two!?
...Tch, actually, scratch that... I don’t care about the names of people who are nosy...
...Because the lesson’s all the same in the end: Always mind your OWN business!
YOU ARE NOW ENCOUNTERING A BOSS FIGHT. BOSSES WILL BE MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN REGULAR ENEMIES, BE IT THROUGH HIGHER LEVELS AND STATS, OR THROUGH THE USE OF A MECHANIC THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM MOST ENEMIES.
...I mean, I had friends, and then you-
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR ATTEMPTED ROBBERY... AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN WAIT IN LINE! YOU ARE COMING WITH US.
...
...Heh.
Well, you two. I can admit when I am beat. And you know what? That’s fine...
...Because you’re right. Because I AM only one of a million... And they will prove to be a bigger threat than ME.
So you two better get stronger, too... Because things only get harder from here. Welcome to the Dungeon life, fellas. Get used to it, ‘cause that’s the SLICE OF LIFE!
...WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, THERE HAS BEEN AN ABUNDANCE OF CRIME RECENTLY, AND WE’RE NOT EVEN SURE WHY. PEOPLE SAY THAT IT COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF MYSTERY DUNGEONS RECENTLY, OR THE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR OF ROBOTS WITHIN THEM...
...ACTUALLY, PERHAPS WE COULD USE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO HELP US CLEAR OUT THIS FILTH, AND BRING JUSTICE TO THOSE WHO SPREAD CHAOS... SO IT’S UNLIKELY THIS’LL BE THE LAST TIME WE MEET.
...HERE. THIS IS OUR THANKS FOR HELPING OUT IN THE SITUATION.
...*Sigh* While I truly hate to do so... I know when to admit defeat.
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR THE MURDER OF 3 HELPLESS HOTDOGS.
...So, this is where the road ends for me. ...You know what?
I’m content. Regardless of your tactics- of which I consider to be slightly cheap- ...You two aren’t so bad, especially for original models such as yourselves.
Never let go of your pride. The moment you lose faith in yourself, the moment you will truly fail.
CODE ITEMS ARE EQUIVALENT TO POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON’S ORB ITEMS. CODES WILL DO VARIOUS EFFECTS UPON THE AREA. HOWEVER, DO NOTE THAT MOST, IF NOT ALL CODES, WILL NOT WORK ON FLOORS WITH BOSS FIGHTS IN THEM.

Alright. Bet.
If you hit me with that attack of yours, I will pry that helmet straight off your head.
...This is your plan? To confine me to a single spot, so that I can’t chase you down?
And here I thought such original models would put up more of a fight.
