That guy over there seems kinda familiar.
Hey Big Eye, is he your brother?
First of all, no. Second, I find it quite rude that you assume I'm related because you think we look the same. I find that quite mechist.
....Sorry?
You're welcome. Now let's get going.
Wait a moment, to do what? It's not like we're here to defeat or escort anyone, and we're not in anyone's way.
No. NO. NO! LISTEN TO ME! I DON'T GIVE A FLYING
ABOUT WHO'S WAY WE'RE IN! I'M DONE WITH THE CONCEPT OF US GETTING OUR
HANDED TO US FOREVER! YEAH, WE HELPED WITH THAT UNGRATEFUL
ESCORT, AND APPREHENDED THE
LIGHTNING LORD, BUT RIGHT AFTER THAT THAT STUPID
STEALS A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, AND WE GET BOOTED OUT OF THE
DUNGEON WE
CHASED THEM IN! THE MOMENT A HINT OF GOOD SHOWS UP IN OUR LIVES, WE HIT ROCK BOTTOM. I TRIED TO DO MY PART AND BE A GOOD LITTLE
TRITAGONIST IN ALL OF THIS, AND LOOK WHERE IT
GOT ME! I DON'T CARE WHATEVER THE
WE DO IN THIS
DUNGEON, JUST SO LONG AS IT IS
WORTHWHILE!
....
(Whatever he's going through right now can not be any worse than what we are right now.)
Whatever the others are going through can not be any worse that what I am right now.
Hmph. Cornering me at the entrance and guarding the exit. This is quite an unfavorable position.
However, the three of you will be put to shame once I unravel my backup plan.
(What? He is surrounded, like a man surrounded by a circle of hungry sharks, and yet still insists to have a backup plan? What kind of strategy could he possibly have prepared?)
...
...
My ultimate backup plan is...!
Oh? You've elected to flee? But how will you manage to escape? You can't run from the both of us.
Maybe not now, but after I use this...




(That didn't last long.)
Like it or not, MKII, things aren't ending here.
Because unlike anytime before my time in this... universe, I've acquired something you haven't. I have something worth fighting for. I have something to lose.
And backup plan or not, there is nothing that I'm not willing to go through (or around) one way or another to protect them.
Something to "protect"? How naive. Try as you might, there is no use preventing the inevitable. You are merely prolonging it.
Hmmm. You are truly indeed a curious case. Hopelessly outmatched, perfectly capable of escaping with such spare SPD and still audacious enough to attack?
It is this very mistake will cost you your life of, course.





I will be the one to hold the 1-Up item.
Before I do away with you, I will commend you on your (albeit displaced) determination. You even stood up to my MKII Virus temporarily.
Be that as it may, you did have help making it this far from someone else, didn't you? Not a problem. Soon, he will be next. No one is safe.
Nontheless, let us not concern ourselves with what is the future sooner than the present. Spend your last moments wisely. Maybe plead, wallow in self-pity, or recite your final curses. Because this is the last time anyone will hear of "Prototype-001".

Hey, thanks a lot! I’d come and get it myself, but... Between you and me, I absolutely HATE getting my cutter dirtied up! Especially in all this oil... So, anyways, here’s a little something for all your troubles...

...And then, I got thrown out by this guy who looked just like me! This is the most absurd thing to have ever happened to me!
Of course he would look like you, you big oath... Have you forgotten what reproduction models are?
I KNOW WHAT A REPRODUCTION MODEL IS! Whatever that... thing was, it wasn’t some ordinary reproduction model... It was HUGE! Bigger than anything that has ever entered the mines! It was like some kind of giant bulldozer made in my image... Which is just plain creepy!
Sounds to me like you’ve just encountered a Guts Tank...
...I’m almost not surprised it decided to target your place... The Yellow Devil, I don’t get... But a Guts Tank feels almost at home in the Mountain Mines...
What I don’t understand is why... Guts Tanks are basically war machines, and last I checked, we’re not exactly at war... (Though, the way things are going with these incidents...)
...So why is it active? And why attack the Mountain Mines?
Well, whatever the reason, it’s in the way of our construction work! How are we supposed to build the first city in a Mystery Dungeon under these conditions!?
Dude, you’ve been working on it for 5 years now. At this point you’re either done or not even building-
...Erm, nevermind.
Don’t worry. We’ll help you to take back the mines.
Hold on there for a second, Sergeant. We!?
Uh, yeah...? Who else is going to do it?
Let those other guys from the Academy handle it, our schedule’s full enough as is.
Ninja, I am pretty sure that this is more-
Oh, no, don’t worry yourselves over it. If you’re busy, it’s fine, I understand. Just get me those other guys you were talking about.
See? We get the others to save the mines, while WE take the opportunity to catch up to them, and perhaps even become better than them. It’s the perfect plan!
...*Sigh* Whatever you say...
