Fairy's Forest White (J) suddenly hears a familiar voice...

Hey... are you okay?

---

Lizardon leaps a high margin in the air, averting the Time Arrow and Crystal Eye.

Shows what you jokers know! That stupid white-costumed guy attacked me first!

Samspook, still only half conscious, scatters more Grenade Bombs half-attentively.

Ain't nobody that would treat ya like a threat if ya didn't sca-- YOW!

Red barely ducks a Shadow Sneak from behind him, before getting caught by surprise with an immediate Scary Face!

---

Shadow Sneak (Shadow/Swift)- The user extends it's shadow and attacks the target from behind. This move always goes first.

Scary Face (Neutral)- The user frightens the target with a scary face to harshly lower its Speed stat and inflict Fear.

---

Editor's Note: Scary Face doesn't really inflict Fear in the games but SCREW YOU THIS IS MY HOUSE BABY

Fairy's Forest G-gh!

Samspook is zapped, damaging him.

Woah!
Everyone's got a gimmick now.

Before everyone can finish processing the sudden ambushing of Samspook however, White (J) is suddenly ambushed from behind, being hit full-force by a Megahorn and sending him flying into a tree!

How terrible... Samspook may be a prankster, but even he doesn't deserve to be bullied! If you all want to get past him...
You'll have to get through me!
Lizardon
Powerful Reptillian

---

Megahorn (Nature/Impact)- Using its tough and impressive horn, the user rams into the target with no letup.

He swung off the tree branch for momentum is what I meant.

---

U-urgh! Hey, you twerp! Let me go!
Samspook
Prankster Pumpkinhead

He wasn't trying to swing the bomb. He was using the tree branch to swing into White (J).

What, you don't see her flailing around behind you?

The pumpkin-headed individual backflips off the tree branch to dodge the Wind Bomb, only to grab it with their hands and use it to swing forward in an attempt to dive at White (J) headfirst.

---

Tremble, and feel the wrath of thy fury!

Petey spits Acidic Sludge at Carlton, who leaps over and counters with a Lance Dive, only to have Petey roll out of the way before impact. Carlton plucks his lance from the ground, then looks over to Petey.

Thou art a formidable opponent, mutant plant. But nonetheless you will fall victim to my strategy!

Carlton throws a boomerang at Petey, who dodges it. Before Petey has any leeway to counter though he is forced to down an onslaught of rapid lance pokes, which he does until he is hit by the boomerang's return, causing him to fall victim to the rest of the attack!

---

Acidic Sludge (Shadow/Earth)- The user spits out a gooey, acidic substance which slows the opponent to a crawl, lowering their speed to the absolute minimum with the inability to change it for the rest of the fight.

Lance Dive (Cutter/Swift)- The user attacks from above, using their lance as a piercing weapon. Should it fail, they will have to spend time plucking their weapon from the ground, giving room for them to be countered.

Whirlwhind Pierce (Cutter/Wind)- The user rapidly uses their lance to deliver a series of Lance strikes which exceed Mach speed.

The figure jumps, hopping onto a high tree branch, and begins lobbing Pumpkin Grenades at Jetters from below!

Well, that's not very nice! It's not my fault your friend is such a scaredy-cat!
Oh, for pete's sake!

Black, Red and Yellow all jump away, doing their best to avoid them.

---

Pumpkin Grenades (Explode/Shadow)- The user throws small pumpkin-shaped grenades which lower defense, cause Fear, and temporarily disable the enemy's ability to use physical attacks.

Yeah. I'm not all that in the mood for a big showdo--

Suddenly, something taps Wanda's back from behind.

?
Boo.
...

The effortless scare causes Wanda to aimlessly run away, frightened by the figure behind her.

---

Fairy's Forest HEY BOZOS!
!?

Katsini, alerted by Wario manages to grab Carlton and Dusk Distort away, reappearing a safe distance away from them as Wario dives headfirst into a bush.

Hmm? What art thou problem, Katsini?
Nothing, Carlton...
...Aside from the fact our primary targets have finally arrived.
The whelps which the Shake King ordered the disposal of?
Don't be silly, Carlton....

Katsini Dusk Distorts again, this time teleporting Wario in front of him before hitting him point-blank with his Magic Cane!

This time, he ordered we take them alive.

---

Dusk Distort (Shadow/Space)- The user uses their magic cane to create a spacial ripple which warps them, their target, or other objects to whatever distance in range.

Magic Cane (Typeless)- A cane imbued with the necessary magic to emulate reality-twisting powers.

---

Editor's Note:

A cute choice of words. I wish to play a card game, Wario.
What, are we talking 52 pick-up?
Noo; more like 52 CUTUP!

Wanda and the three bombers follow...

---

Fairy's Forest Petey, Wario and Waluigi fly into Fairy's Forest, hopping out of the plane immediately after landing.

About time we made it! Now. Where do we search first?
*ROAR* (Well, the guys over there look pretty suspicious...)

Such formulaic opponents with equally predictable strategies! These folk merely equal in worth to that of punching bags!
Carlton
Meticulous Knight

Keep it down, will you? I can't practice my magic tricks with such distractions...
Katsini
Performance Enthusiast

Wahahahah! Easy pickings, eh, Wario?
Those guys... there's something familiar about 'em.
*ROAR* (What?)
...Bah, nevermind! Let's just get to pounding time!

Wario starts off, dashing straight away at the unsuspecting duo.

Yare Yare Daze.

---

Wario Estate - Outside Wario, Waluigi, and Petey walk outside.

For now, we--

---

Bomber Bros. Base --retrace our footsteps and work from there. We have to make sure nothing's happened to the forest. And if something has...

---

Wario Estate - Outside We pummel the life outta whoever's responsible! Are you all with me?
Y--

---

Bomber Bros. Base --eah! 100%!
Then it's settled. We're going back to the forest. And we'll stop whatever gets in our way.

Marauder's Refuge Err... Sorry to say, Shake King, but it would seem as though Rudy failed. Wario and Waluigi are still alive and out of the dimension..
Mad Sciencestein
Former Head of Nintendo Labs

Rudy failed, did he? Hmph. pitiful. For all that talk of godlihood, he ended up being bested in his own territory...
So what's the plan now, then, Shakes? We spent all that time trying to nudge them in the wrong direction, all for nothing....
Captain Syrup
Leader of the Black Sugar Gang

Hmph. Even if they desire to fight us, it is too late. We have everything we need to forward our plan.
We have the Cataclysm Crystal. We have the fairy magic. And soon, we will have the world, along with their heads mounted on our spears...

---

Editor's Note: I hated the old Shake King sprite. I hated it so much. Though I never got around editing it until now.

OOC "Eye thing"! That's quite rude, you know! I'll have you know I've done nothing but push the plot forward, friend. It's not as though this story will be over with on it's own.
But I suppose you have a point there, HighTower. Introductions are in order. But where to start... well, my name is--
Vaati
Demon Wind Sorcerer

Vaati of N/A

Or am I the Illuminati???
Bahah, I jest. But no, I didn't make those dopplegangers. The Mirror did.
Anyway, it's been... oddly satisfying... giving you exposition for probably what won't be the last time, but I'm in a bit of a rush. I have a princess and six maidens waiting for me to suck the Light Force from them and turn them into stone. Au revoir.

He's gone.

---

Editor's Note: Liar! You're definitely the Illuminati! Vaati has 5 letters, this is post #968, and-- and, uh... Come back when I'm more creative.

Amazon Forest Somari is currently doing his best to block an onslaught of kicks and swipes from what seems to be doppelgangers of him and Taileegee.

...
Urgh! Looks-a-like these guys are just as-a-strong as the real deals. Or in-a-this cast, just as fast.

Somari is suddenly knocked into a row of trees by a mule kick from the false brothers, who speed ahead in pursuit.

Somari!

Unfortunately Shadwari has no time to react as he is hit from behind with an Instant 9 Judgement from behind!

*BEEP!*
(Just what are these things!?)

Yoshles tries punching a copy, who V-Dodges and then kicks him away!

That's for us to know, and for you not to live to tell the tale of.

---

Instant 9 Judgement (Impact/Electric)- The user, doing Judgement, manages to pull a 9 regardless of random number generation. Has a cooldown.

Mega City Flying through the City, Defteros and Proteus both look through for anything strange.

Ugh, there's nothing here! Aside from the dozens of False Men bodies remaining...
So what do we do when we find this robot?
We beat the everlasting crap out of them.
Why? Why is that our first response, I mean. Can't we just... talk to them? They might not be so bad after all!
Welcome to the Chaos Zone. Where Violence is always the answer.

As they fly, they spot a strange robot running about from below.

IMMA STAB THE FIRST LIVING THING I SEE!

Silent, Proteus glares at Defteros.

...
Eheheh... yeah...

They fly downwards.

Wario Estate
Shake King... That bastard's responsible for all of this.
Huh?
Think about it, jack for brains! He musta been part of the Koopenstein Alliance! That's why we saw him and that greenie-weirdo for like three seconds in Toad Town!
He was the bulky guy that was leading the attack against Wanda! And He had those fake robo-simulations created to trick us into having to fight Rudy!
Yeah, well, what are we supposed to do about that??
Not what, Waluigi...

---

Bomber Bros. Base Where?
Hmmm....

That's up for you to decide. Though wherever it is, it is far, far away from the

---

Wario Estate WAAAH!
You're awake!
...Of course I am! More importantly, I just discovered Our little mastermind behind all this madness!
*ROAR* (Who?)
Shake King... That bastard's responsible for all of this.

I make no promises.

Waluigi and Petey follow, Petey carrying Wario. Being the last one to exit, Waluigi takes one last glare at the figure before going through the Ultra Wormhole.

Waluigi and Petey Piranha attack as well... only to have theirs and everyone else's attacks phased through.

Cease your meaningless squabbling and listen. Although it's not like I expected you all to be any less ignorant. Regardless, 'hear me out', will you not?
I'm flattered you would think me of the sort. but no, I could not care less for such tactics such as using the Dark Mirror on you folk. What would such solve here of all places? No. I came from the kindness of my heart to give you light at the end of the tunnel.
Rhys, you accompanied Memelord Trimarc and the Pokemon to speeden this battle and get to the outside world to stop this "Beta Devil", agreed? deterring from the fact his loss will happen regardless, now you may leave. And I know you couldn't be less tired of every enemy you've faced yet suffering from Duracell syndrome. This is your opportunity.
Wormwould EX? Disposed of. Rudy? Gone for the time being, but he will respawn in due time. It's his dimension, after all, for him to perish in it would be ludicrous. Which is why I urge you to hurry with your choice. You all can leave any time you'd like with an Ultra Wormhole, after all.
