Hate to burst your bubble, but you’re far from the worst we’ve faced so far.
Yes, that’s true... We’ve seen your battle against that “Scourge”. And while you never truly defeated him, the mere fact that you SURVIVED such an encounter means that we can’t possibly beat you as we stand before you now.
...As a matter of fact, a friend of yours came by not too long ago, searching for a... “Kooperson”, was it?
I believe the name you’re looking for is KOOPENSTEIN, sir.
Thank you, Fukurokov. In his search for this “Koopenstein”, he sought to speak to Dr. Eggman... And we insisted that he was to go through us, first.

Great Battle Kukku clenches his fist in anger.

...And he most certainly DID. Which is why THIS time, we were prepared.

He then proceeds to hold up a finger for each thing he lists.

Firstly, we’ve of course trained ourselves to make sure we’d be ready for you.
Second, as you could see, the trap. I hope you didn’t just expect us to fight FIFTEEN of you. And trapping the ones who would’ve caused us the MOST problems was a bonus.
Third of all... We didn’t come alone.

As if on cue, several mechas swarm the area, not a single one of them Badniks... yet, all of them so familiar to Tails.

I expected you to bring the rest of your empire... But some of these mechas, they’re from-

Suddenly, Tails looks up to see three MORE figures emerge from the skies via flying machines.

Gyah hah hah! See, what’d I tell ya? I just KNEW that the little fox was gonna be one of the ones to escape that trap!
Yeah, yeah, we get it, Wulf. You don’t need to rub it in!
Come on, boys. Let’s get this over with so I can take a break.

The three land, though they do not exit their vehicles.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it, foxy-boy?



I was just WAITIN’ to get my claws on you, freakshow!



This’ll be so much fun! I can’t wait to see how many bits you’ll be blown into, hee hee hee!



Heheh... You’d all better get ready, because you’re gonna feel the wrath of...





Now now, you three... Don’t forget, Witchcart wants that fox ALIVE.

Battle Kukku then grins viciously.

Of course... She never told us anything about ripping off those freakish tails of his.

Eh, just Buster Charge and/or skip turn for that turn; I haven't established Omi "the Cron"'s stats and moveset, yet, and I've already dealt big damage last turn (and since my characters would, at least for now, be faster due to their 25 stat boosts, I don't think your Superflat World skill would activate before their attacks.

Speaking of...

So, the Fun-Ruiner finally decides to speak, eh? Let's see if you can listen.
We've been dealing with some rainbow-colored prick for 3/4ths of a year just to get this world back, and boy, was THAT annoying as hell.
And when we did get our world back? We STILL had a lot of issues. Some TV guy, a "Dead Meme Lord", a sparring session that wound up being pointless, a bunch of robots and their jerk of a king, and I frankly don't know what else there was since we were locked up by some overreacting jerk.
This summer was meant to be our ONE break from all of that. EVERYONE was doing fine, and we were hoping for a full VACATION before being dragged back into this.
But... You. YOU decided to show your face, and ruin our fun for... What? What are you even GETTING out of this? Some kind of strange personal enjoyment out of ruining people's good time?
Well, let me tell you something: The only reason you exist is because QuintAnother APPARENTLY has some self-depreciation issues over the mistakes he made in the past, what, half a year? Which ISN'T as much time as you'd think, mind you.
But, here's the thing: He's NEW to this whole thing, we know. But EVERYONE who's ever roleplayed on MMRPG before started off the same way, and we've improved from that.

Reggae rams QA with a Lightspeed Impact (using both the Chronostones to fuel this attack).

That's the difference between us and you, Fun-Ruiner; WE know for a fact that being Cringe is simply the first step towards being TRULY BASED!

Meanwhile, Ninja Man Psi first starts by activating another Senshi Dragon.

I have no idea what Reggae is going on about, but he's right about one thing: You decided to ruin our ONE BREAK since this world came to an end, and later restored.
And we won't tolerate you ruining the peace we've worked hard to maintain, especially after everything we've been through to get to this point.

Ninja Man then charges another Superlaser...

And make no mistake on this, either; I might not know who QuintAnother is, but even if you pretend you are, you are NOT him. And we'll do EVERYTHING we can to ensure you won't be using him as a puppet for your rudeness anymore.

...then fires it with his last AP as Gagaku uses Gagaku Pounce to try and slow QA down.

...Now, I just got here, so I have no idea what's going on. But ya ain't gonna go around causing trouble while I'M around, varmint.

Omi "the Cron" then pulls out a pair of revolvers...

Now, DRAW.

...then fires them!

Salt Lickers
Core: Earth/Missile
Power: 10 Damage | Accuracy: 85% | Cost: 12 WE
Effect: Roll 3d100 dice; This attack lands twice as many times as there are successful rolls. For the next 3 turns, the target is inflicted with Rust, which removes a quarter of all three stats.
Desc: A pair of revolvers that fire salt rocks.

---

Lightning Rod - (Electric) A passive ability, mostly used by a variety of Pokemon. All nearby electrical attacks are drawn to the user, boosting Special Attack (or just Attack for those without that kind of stat) instead of dealing damage.

**Reference: The plot of Tails Adventure, which is said to take place before the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Sonic's group is making steady progress throughout the island... Almost TOO steady.

Man, after that whole "Scourge" ordeal, whoever comes next is gonna be a snap!
Let's not get carried away. Eggman could have just about anything set up to make things harder for us...

Suddenly, a pitfall trap opens up beneath everyone!

Like that...!

Suddenly, everyone falls down into the pit... save for three others, who managed to jump out of the way in time.

Mighty!
Sonic! Knuckles!
This isn’t good...!

Suddenly, from out of the pit comes a familiar-looking capsule...

Are you guys alright?
We're fine! It's just... REALLY cramped in here.*
〈TOO cramped if you ask me. But don't worry... I don't plan on us staying here for long.〉
H-huh...? W-wait-!*

Electrical sounds are heard within the capsule.

...
...Huh. Could've sworn I was going to get shocked...
Uh, yeah, funny thing... My ability is Lightning Rod.*
〈Great. That would've been good to know sooner.〉
Don’t worry, I know how to open these!

Tails hops on the top of the container, pressing the yellow button at the top...

...

...But nothing happens.

Wh-what!? The button’s not working...!
Of course, you vulpinus fool! That capsule is locked... and only if you can defeat us will it unlock!
(That voice...!)

The group turns to a trio of shadows looming over them.

HAH! I can't believe you actually fell for that! I thought for sure that there'd at least be more of you who managed to crawl out of that hole!
Indeed, this was a bigger blunder for you than we had anticipated... but, no matter. The less of you there are, the better the odds are in OUR favor.
And I, for one, am glad that among everyone that managed to escape our little trap, you happen to be one of them, little fox.
Tails, you know these guys...?
I do... Before I met Sonic, I managed to stop these guys from taking over Cocoa Island.** They're bad people who want to conquer the world... They are-
That's enough out of you, meddlesome fox. We'll do the introductions from here!

The three bird-like figures leap down, revealing themselves.

I am the brains of this group, Dr. Fukurokov!



I am the future successor of the empire, Battle Kukku XVI... But you can call me Speedy!



And I am the leader of this great empire... The Great Battle Kukku XV!



And together, we are...

Suggestion noted.
Now, then. Correct me if I am wrong, but there are 11 of us in the group so far.

Jazz looks towards Tails Doll, the EXEs, and Majin Sonic.

...Unless, any of you want to-
We're not getting involved, off.
Right, nevermind. Anyways, I don't see us being split up very evenly, but here's what I'm thinking: Kirby and Aqua Dolphin can look for the Heaven Jewel. Aqua seems to know more about where it is than anyone else does, and Kirby- if I am unmistaken- is the only one of us who can use it.
As for those of us who are going after the Agony creatures, something I noted with Cyber-Lucina is that the Agony Creatures seem to have some kind of natural draw to each other, or at least can detect the location of other Agony Creatures.
For this reason, I suggest that Beta Devil, Missingno., Rat Kill, and myself make up one team, while the other consists of Techno, Orchestra, Cyber-Lucina, Coco, and Quake Woman. That way, both teams would have at least one being of Agony alongside them, to hopefully be able to find these creatures more quickly.
Additionally, I will be sending out a group of Jazz Droids to find two other groups: Palutena's group, and Beta Man's group. I'm certain that Palutena and the others have had their fair share of Agony encounters, and given... certain complications, I don't think Beta Man or the others are doing anything important at the moment. This should give us more numbers to cover more ground and ease up the work.
If any of you have any questions, concerns, or objections, speak now.

Upon hearing the newest addition of the conversation on the structure above him, the figure moves himself to a different side of the structure.

(Damn* it...! I don't know what that little guy is up to, but now, even if I were to do anything to distract those two, I'd surely be caught!)

The figure ponders for a moment, then comes up with an idea.

(...What are the chances of there being a BACK entrance...?

Moving all the way to the opposite side of the structure as he previously was, the figure proceeds to periodically move swiftly from structure to structure, looping to the back of the building(?) that he's trying to sneak into.

---

*This might spoil who this character is, but technically speaking, the individual who I would've used to censor this has been killed by his regular counterpart.

Magnet Bomber then proceeds to unleash two Dragon Thunders; However, only one hits, dealing 15 damage. Pandora uses Speed Support to further boost everyone's speed, then attempts a Homing Plasma, which misses. Vivace then lands a Shine Flare for 38 damage, then spawns 5 Golden Spheres, one of which hits QA for 4 more damage.

Cara Oasis then Tosses two Boulders, dealing 33 damage total as Tinkatedd Terrastalizes into an Impact type. Following this, Alicia strikes with a Water Hammer and a Water Blade, dealing 6 and 9 damage respectively while Parutamu uses Reinforce for 9 whole Refluxes. Meanwhile, TRBF, clinging onto QA, Pesters him into unveiling Unbalancing before sending him a Fan Mail.

Unbalancing

*The Chocolate Dr. Pepper was bought right before the BBA Mega Man boss raid, meaning that it was in the inventory (as opposed to a fridge or cooler) for roughly 3 months.

Paradox Man toy in hand, Reggae first uses Chronoforce to make a Chronostone to grant him another turn, uses the gifted turn to use Chronoforce again to make a second Chronostone to give Ninja Man an extra turn, uses Centralized Shaker to deal 300 damage to QA (dealing 150 to himself in the process), and then pulls out a Chocolate Dr. Pepper and...

*Kr-pop!*

With the power of Dr. Pepper, something- or rather, someone- appears out of nowhere...

What in tarnation...? This ain't the Saloon! Where in the blazes am I...?
(Of COURSE he's a bloody cowboy...)
Hey, mind giving us a hand here?
Well, that depen-

The stranger takes a good look at Reggae.

...You are the strangest bird I ever did see, I reckon.
I get that a lot.
Now as I was saying, that depends: What's in it for me?
Here, try this.

Reggae hands the Chocolate Dr. Pepper to the stranger, who takes a good look at it before taking a sip...

...Dear god.
Pretty good, right?
Well, it's a bit flat, but it's still the best darn thing I've ever done tasted.
Sorry, we had that for a while*; But if you help us out, I'll tell you where you can go to get more of those, and fresher, too.
...Well, little birdie, I think ya done got yerself a deal.

The figure shakes Reggae's wing, then turns to face QA. A tumbleweed appears from out of nowhere, rolling past between the two.

I suppose yer the varmint these fellas want me to help out with. They call me Omi "the Cron" Dustbowl...

Omi "the Cron" Dustbowl pulls out two revolvers, twirling them about as he is ready to fight.

...And it's the dust yer just about to bite.

Meanwhile, Ninja Man Psi uses his Duo toy to summon a Galaxy Bomb SP around QA.

Hey, you're the one who wanted to ruin our fun...

He then charges a Duo Superlaser...

...It's only fair we do the same to YOU.

...then unleashes it with his next AP, blasting QA for 6212 damage, increasing his multiplier to x14 while also applying a -5 Attack debuff. He then proceeds to use the AP given by his Chronostone to use Buster Charge. Meanwhile, Gagaku uses Wily Hijacker to find QA's Light weakness, then uses Wily Striker, which- due to the still-active Senshi Goat- fires 115 shots (which also sweeps up TRBF, turning him into an additional projectile) for an INSANE 16110 damage total, further increasing the multiplier to x30.

Unsurprisingly irate, QA unleashes a barrage of Death Beams at Reggae; However, due to both the Mach Aura and Speedy Phase-Out, only two of these beams connect; And even then, thanks to his insane stat boosts, this only deals 16 damage. QA also suffers 10 damage from Bleeding and 544 damage from the Galaxy Bomb SP, further increasing his multiplier to x31.

Death Beam
Type: Shadow/Laser
Power: 100 Damage | Cost: 30 WE | Accuracy: 80
Effect: Has 10 hits who can be distributed between targets.

N-no...
NO! There has to be another way...!
Hey, I'd rather eradicate this demon than seal it away. I have every doubt in my mind that this demon won't just be sealed away for good.
You might've called me crazy in the past, but this plan is the literal definition of insanity.
...But it's like they said: This demon's spirit can't even be destroyed by the Omni-King... allegedly. So even if I have my doubts, It's either this or no plan at all.
In a rare moment of history, HEY! Devil's right. This is the only way to stop this demon for good.
But...

Techno looks over to Cyber-Lucina.

...I promised...

Orchestra pats Techno on the shoulder to console him.

...Well, nevertheless... We already have Kirby on the team, so I think that should cover us for who can use the Heaven Jewel. That leaves us with finding it, and gathering the Agony Creatures.
I think we should split up; A few groups to gather the Agony Creatures, and one group to look for the jewel.
Well, in that case-
YOU will be grouped up with ME.
.
We'll also need a place to put everyone together. Lucemon and the others are already staying put in Lavender Town; Maybe there?

...Right. I just need a good distraction. Then, I'll be able to sneak in... And help myself to one of those government weapons.

---

*Reference: the 2K Arc, during which the Master Emerald was shattered. While not the namesake of the arc, it could be seen as one of its main conflicts, if not the most major conflict.

As Somari and Tailigee dashes off, a figure emerges, having hidden behind a nearby pillar. The figure proceeds to pull out a gemstone of sorts and warps away.

---

The figure warps precisely to the back of the lair, then moves away from it from there, keeping at a safe distance to avoid being caught in its self-destruction.

...Hmph.

So, he's left this world... Hmph. While I cannot trust him to leave for good... He seems serious about not wishing to return, meaning that he will never threaten it again. Perhaps it is a form of closure, in its own way.

...Or maybe my time with that blue hedgehog really IS making me soft. Either way, there is nothing I can do about him. Not anymore. And with Mecha Sonic gone, the only loose threads since the shattering of the Master Emerald* are that "Coda"- who I still believe won't be an issue, even if he's hiding like a coward- and the Doctor, who I doubt can even be considered an actual threat at this point.

Somari and the others are more than capable of saving themselves. There's nothing left for me to stay there for.

...Still... I cannot afford to rest easy. As troublesome as Koopenstein was to the very end, he's right on one thing... There is no shortage of those who pose a threat to this world. But no matter who or what I'll have to face... I will keep my promise.

---

As everyone from Lavender Town enters Hill Zone, 3 demons and Majin Sonic (which could be a 4th demon or a different entity entirely-)

That's not what's important, now is it?

appear to have been waiting for Sonic.EXE to arrive.

Huh? Who are these people...?
Unimportant, just ignore them.

Sonic.EXE tosses BF at the four.

Keep an eye on the brat. I'm going to try and contact Lord X.

Sonic.EXE proceeds to leave the five alone.

〈...You know, I don't know why everyone calls me a kid just because I'm short. I'm at LEAST 19.〉

Alright, everyone... Let's talk gameplan.

---

Right below Vanitas, a figure hides himself right next to one of the structure's walls. From there, he sees two mechas locked in a conversation...

...Hey. Have you ever wondered why we're even here?
Weren't we supposed to be protecting something? Like, some government weapons or whatever?
No, I mean... Why are we HERE?
...No. We're NOT going through this agai-
I mean, think about it: Humans make us to do all the tasks they can't, right? But what purpose do they have for a bunch of living hydraulic presses? Can't they just use ones that... You know. Don't have sentience?
For crying out loud-
And, actually, do we really have sentience? Or are we simply programmed to think we have sentience, when in reality, we're still thinking what the humans want us to think?
...Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not gonna be like that King guy and say we should rebel against humanity and attain freedom. Humans gave us life- artificially speaking- and I'm rather grateful for it. ...But MAYBE they could've given that artificial life to something that ISN'T just a crushing machine?
Oh my god-
And that's another thing. Do we even HAVE gods? Like, are they the same as human gods, or do we have some kind of... robot god? And even then, what happens to us when we die, anyways? Do we even have an afterlife, or do we-
If there IS a god, I'm swearing to them to make you SHUT UP.

*Based on a true story.

**Let me know if there are any other status effects that I have forgotten.

Just going to leave this up here as a reminder: With Senshi Dragon active, everyone with a stat boost is able to take another turn. And thanks to the Speed Support used by Pandora earlier, everyone has a Speed boost, meaning EVERYONE has a second turn they can use for the next 3 turns (2 after this one).

QA attempts to use a Fun-Killer Twister, only to be interrupted by a Reggae Crashing into him at Hyperspeed for 374 damage, before preparing a Mach Aura and a Speedy Phase-Out.

Fun-Killer Twister
Core: Wind/Shadow
Cost: 25 WE | Accuracy: 70%
If successful, randomize the targets of all attacks regardless of allegiance. Has a 3-turn cooldown. If used before cooldown ends, accuracy decreased to 30.

HAH! Nice try, but no dice, pal!

Reggae then suddenly appears in front of the T-Verse Quartet.

Also, you guys should probably sue, because I think that was DEFINATELY a rip-off of your guys' move.

Meanwhile, Ninja Man Psi charges a Swift Buster before launching a Ninja Fireball... of which The Raid Boss Fan- completely taking Glass' place- jumps in the way of with his Heroic Dive.

Big mistake.

Caught in a rather deceptively powerful fireball, TRBF practically merges with it, becoming a flaming projectile that only barrels towards QA for a whopping 733 damage, increasing the Multiplier to x6, and inflicts him with an Ember of Weakness, halving QA's attack stat for 3 turns.

...I'd call him an idiot, but at this point, it's par for the course.

He then notices Gagaku planning on using a Super Pellet to max out on stat boosts, but then remembered something...

Hang on a second... I've got something.

Ninja Man Psi then proceeds to use Senshi Goat, which allows for Summons to use the stats of their summoner for calculations for the next 3 turns.

Wha- How long have you had THAT!?
I dunno. Kinda forgot I had that, to be honest.*
...So, the Super Capsules were-
Completely useless? Probably.
...*Sigh* Well, whatever. Gagaku, prepare to attack!
HEY. Gagaku's programmed to listen to me, remember?
...Ok, Gagaku, do exactly that.
...

Gagaku proceeds to crush QA with a Gagaku Crunch for 326 damage, further reducing his Defense and raising his multiplier further to a x7, then scratches him with a Gagaku Claw for 488 damage and inflicting him with Bleed!

Meanwhile, Magnet Bomber launches two Fox Leaves that hits 7 times total for 169 damage, while Pandora prepares a Model-X Force Shot and Vivace an Evade Aura.

Cara Oasis then provides Ninja Man Psi with an Antlion Protect before unleashing a Tree Fall on QA for 50 damage. Additionally, Tinkatedd buys a Variant Slot before Buster Charging twice (thanks to both the additional turn given to them by Glass and the turn granted to them because of the Senshi Dragon).

Alicia then proceeds to bonk QA twice on the head with a Water Hammer, dealing 52 damage total before Parutamu steps in with two Guardian Spin Blades, drinking a W-Tank between spins. This hits 5 times total, dealing 414 damage and increasing the multiplier to x8, despite also revealing a Laser resistance in the process.

Vivace kicks off this round by activating Senshi Dragon, allowing for all players with stat boosts to take an additional turn for the next 3 turns.

Which, thanks to Pandora, is everyone.

...We completely waisted those evasion moves, didn't we?
Yeah, probably.
But, now...
...It's time for Phase 2.

Reggae and Ninja Man Psi then proceeds to gouge down on their Large Mushroom Pizzas. Which...

...Mind you, that I had the Beacons set up from the start. That is a full 5 stat boosts.
Then, there was the Bacon pizzas. This pushes past the normal boundaries of stat boosts; Added to my 5, this WOULD make it 15...
...Except, these two were both holding Xtreme Modules. This DOUBLES the boosts given to me through any means (at the risk of doing the same for debuffs).
This means that after the Bacon Pizza, I had 25 boosts on ALL stats.
And now I'm eating Mushroom Pizzas.
Which triples the amount of stat boosts I already had, STILL going beyond the basic limit.

I

Officially have

75
Stat
Boosts

...And you want to know the worse part?
Recall how I had also bought 2 Guard Modules, as well.

I will use my other turn with these two to replace the Xtreme Modules I had. Take a wild guess what I'm going to be replacing them with.

* It's over, pal. You're done.
* We are going to beat you to death.

Magnet Bomber uses Dragon Thunder to strike QA's Fun-Ruiner Mind for 233 damage, then Pandora follows up with a Model-X Buster, which lands 5 shots for 570 damage total, increasing QA's multiplier to x2! Cara Oasis then unleashes a Falcon Storm to deal 145 damage, allowing Tinkatedd to SLAM its Gigaton Hammer upon QA for a WHOPPING 2893 damage, brining the multiplier up higher to x5.

Completely irate, QA unleashes an Anti-Formatting Bang, which not only completely destroys the rest of this post's formatting (no, seriously, look at the weapon description. I could not POSSIBLY make this up), but also deals 13 damage to Reggae, 8 to Ninja Man, 143 to Magnet Bomber, 111 to Pandora, 139 to Cara, 91 to Tinkatedd, 652 to Glass, 112 to Alicia, 156 to Gagaku, and 31 damage to Paratamu; Magnet Bomber, Pandora, and Tinkatedd are all blinded. Due to her Phantom Blur in the previous round, she manages to avoid the attack.

Anti-Formatting Bang
Core: Shadow/Light
Power: 10 Damage | Cost: 10 WE | Accuracy: 100%
Has a 40% chance of causing Blindness, hits everyone. Also has a 50% chnace to literally remove formatting for the rest of the turn but that's irrelevant.

After doing... What he does with the Equipment Pouch, he goes for a Power Slash and two more Emblem Bow shots... All of which completely miss. Alicia follows up with a Water Blade, dealing 25 Damage, as Gagaku uses yet another Super Capsule to boost his stats further.

Omega goes to punch Dastardly... only to be blocked by the hand of someone ELSE.

...Ah, but of course. I had you invite your little students as well, haven't I? Indeed, unlike Rotten, I've actually took the time to offer my teachings to someone else. And I have every intention of showing THEIR superiority, as well.
Isn't that right, Thomas?

Omega makes eye contact with the one who caught his fist...

...Well, then. I guess we're doing THIS, then.

*Reference: The events of the movie Scoob!, where Dick Dastardly served as an antagonist.

...*Sigh* Fine.

Sonic.EXE drops Rat Kill back down.

But only because I really couldn't care less about any of this.

Sonic.EXE lets everyone else back through, then grabs BF.

Let's go, you little runt.
〈I CAN walk, you know.〉
That's something I plan to change.
(Hopefully, Lord X will have HIM ready by now. At the end of it all, I WILL have this blue-haired twerp's soul... Even if I have to dig it up from his ashes.)

Dastardly.
Oh, please, no need to be so formal, Scooby. You may call me-
We're rot riends, Dastardly.
...Oh, very well; You were never able to get it right, anyways.
Like, what do you want this time, man?
Isn't it obvious? I want my REVENGE!

Dastardly looks over to Shaggy and Scooby.

You two... I could've gotten away with my scheme if it weren't for you meddling kids!* You and that dog of yours ruined everything, up to the final moment!

He then turns to Robbie Rotten.

And you... You never DESERVED your role in the Trio of Origin! While I excelled in every aspect of Matt's training, you were lazy, and did nothing more than the bare minimum!
And now look what happened with you two in charge. EVERYTHING that has happened in this BLASTED universe is nothing more than a prime example of your failures as gods! You both have done NOTHING to upkeep the balance of the Multi-Omniverse!
If you had TRULY cared about balance in the Omniverse, you would've erased that MKII from existence the MOMENT he stepped foot from his own dimension. You would've stopped the Dr. Wily of Universe Prime from travelling to the future and creating Rockman Shadow and Quint.
You would be out there RIGHT NOW and stopping all that Agony madness. You would have stopped Trio from destroying the Omniverse the FIRST time with Omni-Holes!
Matter of fact, if you actually cared about balance in the Omniverse, this entire "Chaos Zone" would have NEVER existed in the first place, nor would that Absurd Roleplay universe that led to the first time the Omniverse was destroyed to begin with!
And, like, what would you know about balance, man?
...Hmph. Clearly, a lot more than YOU two. If I were in charge, everyone would be as evil as they wanted to be WITHOUT having to resort to such blasphemy, such... CHAOS.

...That's ALL that there is now. What we've allowed it to become... And not just THIS Omniverse, either.
Social Media. The Dark Web. NFTs. This Multi-Omniverse that we have called "the Internet" has become nothing more than a cesspool of chaos. And for that, the failing gods must be replaced, so that balance and order may be ENFORCED.
Ron't go retending rhat rou're doing rhis ror balance. We ALL row rou're doing rhis ror rourself.
True. But that doesn't mean we can simply ignore the obvious problem that lies in front of all of us. If anything else, this only JUSTIFIES that it should be me instead of that good-for-nothing couch potato. And once I have bested ALL of you, only THEN will Matt and Cranky begin to see things MY way!
I've heard about ENOUGH of this.

Omega powers up, then charges at Dastardly.

Omega, rait...!

Hi.

Quint asked for me to do the first few turns as he is busy with something at the moment.

So, here we go. (Note that I will not be doing any dialogue on his behalf.)

Tinkatedd uses Fake-Out, dealing 41 Damage and causing QA to lose his turn. (Which kinda makes me feel ridiculous for using 4th-D Slip and Invisibility Cloak alongside the two Large Bacon Pizzas, but I digress.)

Magnet Bomber then proceeds to use Tidal Fire to deal 68 damage as Pandora uses Speed Support to boost everyone but Ninja Man and Reggae, since Speed Support does not push past the maximum, and those two... definitely reached that point.

Vivace activates Phantom Blur while Cara Oasis drops a Boulder Toss on QA for 165 damage. Meanwhile, Godkiller Glass proceeds to fire his Damaged Emblem Bow, landing one of the shots for 82 damage before drinking a Large(?) Root Beer and going for a Pynda Chikate Bash, which misses. Then, as Alicia goes for a Sing Song, Glass uses the distraction to strike harshly with a Magina Tachi Power Slash, dealing an incredible 361 damage. Parutamu-FG then Reinforces 3 times over to gain 3 Reflux Tokens before using a Malicious Seal to place an Omen on QA.

Stuck in a flinching state, QA has no choice but to watch in horror as Gagaku... uses a Super Capsule.

The horror.

*Reference: The Absurd Roleplay - As a primary threat during the roleplay, King K. Rool used the Wish Core- the power source of a powerful wishmaker named GRAND NOVA (now GRANDER NOVA)- to achieve Mastered Berserk Instinct; However, after a moment where the entire universe was destroyed and repaired, King K. Rool lost the ability to use the transformation.
**Reference: Part I, Page 94, Post #6 - It is implied by Sabata that he has trained, or at least worked under, Robbie Rotten; However, as revealed in a later post, he would eventually leave his training under Robbie to do so under Matt, instead.

...So, like, where is-

Suddenly, another person appears.

Why, out of all the places in the universe, did it have to be here? Do you have ANY idea how far this place is from the Earth?



Robbie, we're gods. Distance is, like, not an issue to us, man!
But now that you're finally here, I suppose we can, like, get started on-

Shaggy notes of something "missing".

...Say, Robbie? Like, where is King K. Rool?
K. Rool? Why would I know anything about what that crocodile is up to?
Weren't rou raining rim rat rome roint?
Oh, please. Why would I want anything to do with that washed-up waste of a villain? Especially since he got Berserk Instinct from a mere shortcut, only to have LOST it?*
Ri ron't row, Ri rhink rou round rike rhe rype ro rake rhortruts.
...You know, I'd take offense to that if I could understand what you're even saying half the time.
So, like, who is your top student right now, then?
...
...Like, don't tell me: You haven't been training ANYONE since Sabata**, have you?
...And what does it matter, anyways? It's not like we're going to die of old age or anything, and it's not like good and evil has been in scarcity any recently.
...Look, Robbie. It's, like, not about the good and evil, man. We're not the representations of the two alignments; We represent the BALANCE of these two. Without one or the other, the world falls apart. And our training is, like, meant to help teach the importance of this balance to the mortals.

...Oh, whatever. If you've only called me up here to rag on me, then I'll be going home.
...Huh? Like, what do you mean?
You were the one who invited us here, aren't you?
What? No, I was under the impression that Scoobs invited us.
Ruh-uh. Ri rought rou ralled us rere, Rhaggy.
Well, it most certainly wasn't me.
...But, if it wasn't you two... Then, who did?
Yes, I wonder... Just who is this cunning and handsome individual that brought us all together?
(That voice...!)

Everyone all look towards a figure hovering from above...

Well, well, well... It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Sonic.EXE proceeds to snap his fingers. From this, something about the portal behind Sonic.EXE changes.

Right this way.

He then allows everyone who wanted to enter to go right through, one by one... Except for Coco.

Oh, and one last thing, first...

Sonic.EXE then reaches behind Coco... and grabs Rat Kill from behind her back.

You HONESTLY didn't think you could fool a GOD, now did you?
And THERE it is! He said the thing, everyone: He is GOD. And everyone thinks that I'M pretentious-
And you still are. And I swear to Arceus, Devil, PUT A SOCK IN IT.
