...Well, if you already know why I am here, then perhaps I don't even need to ask.
Indeed, Gamma...
...The answer is no.
Just as I had thought. Now, let's-
...Pardon?

You came in here with the sole purpose of recruiting an Evil Beta Shadow so you could make your team of his doppelgangers to counter his "Beta Team", correct? Unfortunately for you, however, I am no "evil doppelganger".
Quite the contrast, actually... I couldn't care less about getting myself involved in these... Childish endeavors.
CHILDISH!? Why, you-

Without even lifting a finger, Psi Foretell slams Gamma Crystal into the ground.

Settle down. I was referring to this "Chaos Zone" as a whole. It is nothing more than grown children trying to one-up each other and making themselves look better than the others. And quite frankly, I don't really care for it... Or ANY of these "Roleplays", for that matter.
...Oh, ok. I think I get it... You're a mirror of Beta Shadow's personality. While he's an adult who refuses to grow up, you're just a stuck-up adult who hates fun.
...If being "stuck-up" grants me the ability to stay out of your mindless misadventures, then feel free to call me whatever you wish.

Well, hate to break it to you, but now that I'm here, you frankly have no choice: You are as much a part of this Roleplay as I am now, whether you like it or not.
It would appear that way, yes... I suppose I saw this coming a long time ago, when the UKR first formed. I would've stopped them from connecting this world to the other one and prevented all of this, but that would mean getting involved with all of this, which would defeat the purpose.
But as much as I would like to get back at this "UKR" for allowing such a chain of events to transpire, and leading you to here...
...I still prefer to keep myself out of it. So out of it, I shall remain. So please, refrain from letting the door hit you on the way out.

Gamma Jewel turns to leave... Only for the door to swing open, hitting him on his way out and sending him crashing down on the floor as a pair of robots rush in, seemingly wearing hooded cloaks to hide their identities to the public eye.

Mr. Psi!
(I tried to warn him...) So, you arrived here, as well. Just as the future foretold...
...Is that guy going to be ok...?
He'll be fine. Now, then... I know for certainty that you didn't come here just to ask me about the well-being of a total stranger.

Ninten's House

Pi Android warps behind the house.

PERHAPS YOU WILL BE BETTER CAPABLE OF FINDING ALLIES TO JOIN YOU IF YOU DO SO OUTSIDE THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME, WHERE LITERALLY ONLY YOU AND USER "Soren" ARE CAPABLE OF KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON.

Pi Android warps away.

???'s House (Another Dimension)

(...Alright, this must be the place...)

Gamma Crystal enters the house. There, a figure sits there, seemingly expecting this to happen...

...Greetings. You must be this universe's version of Beta Shadow, yes?
Indeed. And please, do not bother with introductions... I know who you are, Gamma Crystal, as well as why you are here...
...For the secrets of the future are never far from my reach.

Psi Foretell
The Fortune Teller

Eventually, Gamma Crystal appears above Another Dimension's Mega City... Or, rather...

...What's all this, now...?


Wilytropolis (Another Dimension)

The city appears to be a dystopian city where Wily is the unopposed ruler...

---

Skull Fortress (Another Dimension)

...And apparently, he likes to keep tabs on everything that happens within city limits, as shown by the monitors. One of the cameras seem to focus on Gamma Jewel.

...Master. It would appear that an outsider has arrived in the city.
Is that right...? Keep close tags on him. If he shows any signs of defiance against my rule... Then you may have permission to eliminate him.
Understood.

@Ra Thor : That works.

@Ra Thor : (OOC) Comatose? He was thrown in the Sun.

With Parallel Meta Knight distracted with Mighty, a barrier stands in his place to prevent Jazz from following Gamma.

...And what's your issue?
APOLOGIES, SUBJECT "Jazz +". BUT IT IS IN ACCORDANCE TO THE PLOT THAT YOU MUST REMAIN HERE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST PARALLEL META KNIGHT.
You know, "apologies" do not matter if you lack any sort of emotion. Also, Can't you see he's trying to make a team of evil versions of Beta Shadow?
THAT, TOO, IS PART OF THE PLOT.
And just WHY are you okay with this!?
I AM NOT PROGRAMMED TO HAVE ANY OPINIONS ON ANY MATTER. I AM BUILT TO UPHOLD THE WILL OF THE PLOT, AND NOTHING MORE, NOT UNLESS I AM ORDERED TO DO SO BY USER "Beta Shadow" OR CREATOR "Upsilon Narrator".

Pi Android warps away.

Urgh...

Another Dimension* - Outer Space

Gamma Jewel proceeds to make his way towards Another Dimension's Earth, using light to disguise himself as a shooting star.

...So, the plan is simple. Recruit this other-dimension Beta Shadow. Recruit the purple Beta Devil. Revive Phi Doppelganger**. And profit.

Gamma Jewel continues on his path.

---

*No, seriously, that's what it is called.
**See Page 115, Post #10 through Page 118, Post #4

Strangely, Jazz seems to resist the chill in his soul, as if it was already a cold one to begin with... Equally, Jazz seems to appear slightly less like Ja-

Well, it was nice catching up with you, Mr. Shadow Mewtwo, but we have a fight to-
...I thought I had it to where this body couldn't be replicated. Who is THIS dunce?

...
...Welp. I suppose the cat's out of the bag, now.

Suddenly, "Jazz" is shrouded in a shining light. After a few seconds, the light dies out, revealing...

...Hello, there, everyone. It's been quite some time since we last "met", hasn't it?
You... You're that Dimension Mirror* variant of Beta Shadow, aren't you? Gamma Jewel, if I recall correctly... But, wait. I thought Kirby killed ALL the villains that spawned from the Dead Zone portals**!
Oh, you wish that was the case, don't you... But, unfortunately for you... I had an escape route.

Gamma Jewel then pulls out his own dimension mirror!

That's right... Since Beta Shadow erased the original Dimension Mirror, I learned how to create my own. And with it, I was able to escape the fate of every other villain that escaped the Dead Zone or the Void.
...I thank you for answering my query, Bladesmatter... Or, Bladesmatter's sword, rather. ...But if there's even a slightest chance of there being another variant of Beta Shadow that is ALSO evil... I'm not going to miss out on that.

Gamma Jewel then rushes into the mirror Parallel Meta Knight came out of!

it! No!

Jazz attempts to pursue Gamma Jewel!

*Unrelated to HighTower's Evil Mirror and the mirror Parallel Meta Knight came from. Though, it is actually moreso the mirror Dark Meta Knight came from.

Pop Star

A Jazz Barrier + is placed to protect everyone from the hailstorm.

Alright, another question... Would the inhabitants of this other world have inversed moralities? Or is it just "them but different"?

---

New Jazz Barrier variant: Jazz Barrier + - Sturdier than the regular variant. Also slightly recovers HP when absorbing energy-based projectiles, similar to Ness and Lucas' PSi Barrier.

Peach's Castle

...So, that guy's been a jerk, eh? Maybe he's also one of Bowser's helpers...
I dunno... If he brought me and Stanley here (and I guess Pac-Man and this sheep guy, too), then it's unlikely he's working for Bowser...
...Actually, come to think of it, he doesn't seem like the kind of person to be mean to someone without reason... Maybe his actions towards Waluigi were part of some sort of misunderstanding?

...On the topic of things that actually matters... Jumpman, where's Luigi?

Everyone looks at "Mario", waiting for an answer.

...Oh! You were talkin' to m- ErrImean... Woo-hoo! Its-a-me!
...*Ahem* So, anyways, Luigi... Got tired. So, he, uh... Went home. To rest. Yeah, that.
...Right...

Stanley turns back towards the others.

...So, yeah. Where are those other three? Are they even gonna come back?

...
...Is everything alri-
All. Of you. Leave. My. Presence. NOW.

Everyone but Coda heads off into their own private quarters within the dimension. Coda then proceeds to go on an anger-induced rampage, breaking literally everything in the room. As soon as he begins to calm down, he rewinds time so that nothing would have been broken to begin with.

...It's fine... It's all fine...
...Ol' G&W isn't the only Flat Zoner in the world. There is an alternative. One that Walter can't POSSIBLY take away, because it's not within HIS jurisdiction.

Gritzy Desert

Suddenly, a figure looms over Mr. Game & Watch.

Hello, there. Don't mind me. You do whatever you wish with this guy...

Coda pulls out... a pair of tweezers?

...I just want one thing first.

Coda then plucks a Shadow Bug from Mr. Game & Watch!

There we are... Oh, and one more thing.

Suddenly, a flash of light occurs, as everyone begins to forget that Coda was

---

Gritzy Desert

Suddenly, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happens.

---

Shadow Bug - The substance Mr. Game & Watch and the other Flat Zoners are made out of. Was also used by Tabuu to create the Subspace Army in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

End of Time - Spekkio's Room

Stanley has finally finished running across the room, and is granted his magic.

Thanks for the magic lessons, Specky-whoozit.
It's Spekkio. And you're welcome.
Well, now that you have learned magic, I suppose it's time we head back.

---

Deep Forever Forest

Gaspar drops off Stanley and Sheep Man before closing the portal.

Stanley! There you are.
Haha, yep... Uh, listen, Imajin. I-

Suddenly Beta Shadow appears.

Hi, guys! Sorry to be rushing everything and even skipping over a huge character development moment for Stanley, but it's time to return to Peach's Castle!
Wait, wh-
Right now!

Beta Shadow grabs Stanley, Imajin, Pac-Man, and Sheep Man (somehow) and drops backwards into a portal.

---

Peach's Castle

Beta Shadow unceremoniously drops in with Stanley, Imajin, Pac-Man, and Sheep Man.

Hi there! I'm Beta Shadow. Just came to drop these guys, andI'mleavingnowbye!

Beta Shadow unceremoniously leaves through a portal back to Little Papa Beta's, closing the portal behind him.

...Urgh... A little warning would've been nice...
...What did I just witness...?

Metropolis - Capital City

...I know we agreed to let the Brash Crew do their own thing... But what about Mario and Luigi? Should we ask them for help?
I'm pretty sure they still have their own thing going on. I wonder how it's going for them, actually...

---

Goomba Road

Having wrapped up their fight with Larry*, the brothers proceed to search for the nearest Warp Pipe to the Castle in order to meet up with the others.

...Well, that was a little bit-a rough, but we've-a managed to pull through in the end, huh, Luigi?
We-a sure did, bro!
Yeah, I really gotta hand it to ya, Slicks!
...Wait, wha-

---

As a strange creature runs away, Mario(?) alone stands above a knocked-out, purple shadow-like figure.

...Don'tcha worry about a single, solitary thing, Slick...
...I'll take good care of your body.**

...Oh, and by the way... You, out there. Yeah, that's right, I know who you are, Slick! I know ya probably know who I am... So why don'tcha keep your mouth shut about it, huh? I wanna keep it a surprise, ya hear? Of course ya do!

---

*Me and Walter decided to just gloss over Larry's fight for the sake of pacing...
**...I just thought this would be a fun way to do so without knowing what exactly would've happened during the fight.

Matt Dimension*

...Well, Master Matt. It appears that they, like, didn't learn anything, dude. Should we do something about this?
...Hm, no. I believe we've meddled in Walter's affairs enough already. If he wishes to "satisfy his boredom", then we may as well let him...
...But if a slip-up of any kind causes him to lose the Chaos Heart- or, worse, the World Rings- then he alone is responsible for the consequences that occur from it.

Wood Zone

A bunch of badniks flee the area as Eggman and Classic Robotnik are forced out of the Zone.

...And next time, think TWICE before you decide to take over a location under the protection of the Freedom Fighters!

Sally Acorn
Leader of the Freedom Fighters

---

Eggman, disgruntled, proceeds to fly away from Wood Zone, with Classic Robotnik close behind. The Badniks follow as well, though most of them do so from the ground due to a lack of ability to fly.

...This is the 5th Time we were evicted from a possible base of operations! Why is it that we just can't settle down anywhere!?
Don't ask me! I'm not the one who keeps failing to deal with any nosy nuisances!
...*Sigh* At this rate, we'll never even be able to START crafting a new plan to get rid of our worlds' Sonics!
I agree. We need to find some place to do our plotting, but where...?

The two Eggmen proceed to ponder...

---

*REMINDER: Only those who are good of heart can enter Matt's dimension, and even then would need a portal opened for them to enter (of which the only active portal exists in the Employees Only room of Little Papa Beta's, of which is in of itself a limited-access area within a limited-access area). So, all in all, none of Singularity's members should be capable of entering Matt's Realm.

Speaking of Sonic...

Metropolis - Capital City

...So, there were other "experiments" with these HEX Adaptors than the six we were told of*... Figures.
So, what now? Should we find those Brash Crew guys and help them out?
...Hm, I don't think so... Something tells me Dyna Man's group already has it covered...
I think you are all missing the bigger picture here.
Something on your mind there, Shad?
It's clear that there have been attempts at creating these HEX Armors before the initial 6...
...But who's to say that Team Mecha can't make any more of them right now?

---

*Luigi, as Mr. L, saw the whole thing go down before approaching the Brash Crew back in the Regulus Arc. He then passed down the information to Sonic and Tails during the flight to the Mushroom Kingdom, who then passed it down to the others.

...Hm. I believe you have mistaken me for Cranky, but regardless...
...Walter, (if you can hear me,) I know you want nothing to do with these folks. But playing games with them will not make them realize they can never beat you. You need to set an example of yourself, otherwise they will refuse to leave you be.
...I will not force you to listen to my suggestions on how to be a "Supreme Kai Grande", or whatever it was. But I feel that, considering what you are supposed to be guarding, you should be more selective about who you let into the Sacred Realm of the Kais from now on.
But again, no pressure. Do what you will.

Matt disappears.

...I'm sorry, but no.

Matt sends all of Singularity back to where they came from in a single blow! (And yes, including Ali Tachyos, assuming he hasn't already ran away from Matt)

Other World - Sacred Realm of the Kai

Suddenly, a figure warps in front of Singularity.

...And what brings you all here?

Metropolis - Capital City

A battle of sorts seemed to have broken out between two familiar figures: A black hedgehog and a fish-finned robot. The battle has seemed to reach its conclusion, with the hedgehog claiming victory.

...And next time, don't forget... This is what happens when you face the ultimate lifeform.

The fish-finned robot gets up slowly.

Yeah, whatever... I hope you realize you only won because I held back. Next time, I'LL be the victor.

It would appear that Team Sonic and the SFRs are using their time off from hero work to get to know one another better... As well as other things, from the looks of Mega Man and Proto Man's conversation with Sonic and Tails...

...And that got me wondering... If there are multiple versions of me in this world, and there are multiple versions of you... Just how is that possible?
Y'know, I've kinda been wondering that myself... So, what about it, Tails? Anything you know about all of this?
Well, it's still a theory... But I've discovered some irregularities about our world- "Chaos Zone", as it is known to be called- as a universe...

Tails pulls out the Miles Electric, and displays a screen that shows a "map" of the known Omniverse. (Well, known to Tails, at least.) There are multiple different dots on the screen: White for a universe, Blue for a Sub-Dimension, and Yellow for an alternate timeline... And in the middle, a strange, lime green dot.

You see that green dot? That's the Chaos Zone. For some strange reason, the Chaos Zone seems to be represented as a Universe, a Sub-Dimension, and an Alternate Timeline, all at once... Or maybe, it's none of them at all.
What I think is happening here, is I think that Chaos Zone is a rather unique Dimension... A universe that is designed to create itself. But the thing is, it doesn't know how to do that, so it just kinda... Copies from other universes, whether nearby or far away.
So, I believe that the reason why there can be more than one Sonic or Mega Man- as well as why so many different people with different stories seem to exist, yet still come from the same universe- is due to the fact that this world is moreso an amalgamation of existing universes, pieced together to create this one. In fact, I'd even say this world is still constantly trying to "complete" itself.

...Huh. That's interesting.
...There's also one other thing I found out about Chaos Zo-
Soniiiiic!~
Huh!? Amy!?

Amy arrives on the scene.

I finally found you, Sonic! I thought I saw you and Tails fly over to Station Square, but when I got there, all I found was that mean ol' Metal Sonic causing a ruckus!
Oh... I see...
...Actually, come to think of it, I actually wanted to ask you about something...
...What do you know about a group named "Team Mecha"?
