...Welp. I'm bored. Also, something in my soul hurts... A lot. ...Maybe I should look into tha-
...Look, if you're here about my Anti-Omni Powers, then-
Like, relax, dude. While I am, like, here for that, it's not for the reason you'd think, man.
...Continue.
...So, what you're saying is, you need my Berserk Instinct to counter Regulus' El Grande Padre powers? And I'd also need to work alongside 9 other people, including my good counterpart?
Indeed, dude.
...Not happening. While I would downright adore knocking that MKII down a peg or two thousand, I'd rather not do so by becoming an entity who would want to do the exact same thing as what you're trying to prevent. Because I already know how that is going to go down for me in the end.
Like, who said you would have to?
...Just what are you getting at?
...I, like, saw it, man. Within your mind, back when you were shot by that Jazz Droid...
...A technique, developed by the Saiyan god Yamoshi, like, moments before his death, man... Lost and forgotten to time, rumored to only appear, like, rarely to those who are close to death's door... The Final Limit. And it, too, is, like, one of the key powers needed to combat Regulus Grande. And it may also, like, prevent you from going nutso on us.
...
...Puyo! Puy puyo puyo!
...*Whispering*
...Puyo.
...A cake...?
Byyyyyyyyyye!~
...*Sigh* Well, if that's the wish he wanted to make... At least I still have that second wish in reserve. I'll need to use it at the right time. It could be our final chance against Regulus.
...Ok! I know what to wish for!
...*Whispering*
...Very well.
...A cake...?
I've given you your wishes. Farewell!~
Actually, some of those powers are already covered...
...I'm starting to think it was a mistake backstabbing Dub Eggman like that... Maybe I should fix that later on.
It's for display. IRL Beta Shadow had no idea what reason I should be in this form.
...What an interesting power, this "Final Limit"... Shaggy believes it can prevent me from overtaking this body...
...Perhaps we'll see.
Wow. So, this power is all mine...?
...Rand row, your raining is romplete.
...This power is incredible... Certainly a suitable alternative. ...I just have one problem with it, though...
...Do I really need to wear this outfit while using it? I don't really think it suits me that well...
Sorry. Romes with rhe ransformation.
...Incredible... This is the same power Matt bestowed upon the Kais? The same power obtained by Son Gohan, long before El Blanco...
...I am thankful to be granted this power.
...The only powers we are missing are the powers ofOrange,Yellow, andGreen. ...However, those may just be underway... All we can do now is wait.
...Gee, it's been quite some time since the MMK departed... I wonder what Enker has been doing...?
Punk, of the Mega Man Killers. I believe some payback is in order.
...Do I know you?
...Perhaps not in this world. But in my world, I knew you FAR too well.
...Whatever. What brings the two of you here?
...2 on 1. We fight until one of us gives up. No fatalities.
...Heh. The old me would've jumped right on that chance. But nowadays, I don't fight unless I'm given a reaso-
...Alright, you little twerps; You just gave me my reason to fight.
Reaper. A word often affiliated with death. Misfortune. Hatred. Martyrs. You name it, it's likely got something to do with it. The angel of death does not take pride in taking lives, but it's what must be done. Likewise, a Reaper does not usually take pride in the destruction of a world. Still, if it is willed, then it will be done. But...just as the Pale Rider carries a scythe, so does a farmer. And farmers...well...they give life. They till the soil for seeds to grow. Likewise, Reapers were born to create. New worlds, new faces, new conflicts, new produce.
So I say this: You will always carry the burden of the farmer and the angel. You will always carry your scythe. But for what purpose... To create or to destroy. That's for you to decide. If you leave this usurper to unbalance the scales of life and death, then no one will blame you. After all, it's your call as well as everyone else's which side of the blade you intend to use. I carry my scythe with pride. I believe you can do the same. But what do I know? I'm just a talking loudspeaker in the middle of nowhere.
Shark Man, I mean this with no malice to you or to those you oppose: They can't be as perfect as you think they should be.
How?
They've created countless Dimensions and Omniverses. Anyone with that power should come with the responsibility needed, shouldn't they??
...not necessarily. I know that you have strong beliefs in the kind of beings who are, in essence, the only true types of perfect. I don't think I need to explain further, as I feel it'd break a rule...above this Omniverse's, but below our existence as a whole.
My point is, behind this world's strongest beings are humans, or at least human-like beings, who have their flaws.
True flawlessness isn't possible in this Omniverse, or any Omniverse tied down to Mega Man RPG.
And furthermore: Dimension DOS was entirely out of their realm of knowledge. And that's because, also unlike what you believe in, not all higher-ups in this Omniverse have power over everything. And that's because there are some things they didn't create, or didn't get involved with. That included Dimension DOS.
And now more than ever, using Beta Shadow's shortcomings, especially those that might not even be known in full by Brash Buster himself, to talk down to him will only make things worse.
...
...I suppose you have a point.
The idea of erasing people...it still rubs me the wrong way. But if there's as much thought and regret in it as you say, I'll stop holding it against the Reapers specifically.
Yeah, I could probably build it a couple miles west of the Particle Laboratory. It's good even ground.
I'll even build it to better suit what you're used to.
Thank you so much, Rika. I really needed a place to call my own.
Speaking of which, what would you want to call it?
Probably a simple name, like Doppler Labs.
Cool. I'll add that as a note.
Chunky, what's wrong?
Me don't think something wrong...Chunky actually feel right.
Chunky think if he try hard enough, he know how to watch out for scary things. Like big attacks.
Not know what to call it, though...
Well, Chunk of the Kongs, what have your greater powers been called in the past?
Cranky give fancy science names...but he also give names matching Chunky and Kong friends and family.
Me think will call it...
Well... what now?
Honestly, maybe it would be best if we left this universe entirely. It doesn't help that only bad things stem from it.
Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. I'm honestly sick of this place.
Oh, yeah. Same here. Against all logic this "Omniverse-endangering" world exists and nothing is done to stop it (and nothing will). I guess we're no better, though. Look who still resides on it.
How....?
This same goddamn guy and his new creeps brought us back for some reason. Whatever they intended, I don't care and I don't want to know.
Begs the question, though... Should we just leave to a different dimension? It'll be smooth sailing in there.
I'unno. I mean, we might end up in some completely different landscape entirely.
I'd still be willing, honestly. This is essentially hell on earth. Every second here is a second we endanger our lives. What do you think, Pop?
My first impression of this? This world is insane and I do think we should probably move.
But before we do anything... let's see what he thinks.
Hey, long time no see. Also, sorry I wasn't helpful with that dragon situation a while back.
Listen, since the world is on the brink of getting destroyed and stuff I can't really stick around for long, but...
I have a wish to make. What's it gonna cost me?
Heya, sis, Delta...
....A. Rock and Mech-tenant.
What have we ever done to you?
Nothing, but... you guys have a tendency to run into trouble one way or another. Which, to be fair, sometimes it isn't even your fault. But it's still one of the reasons why I choose to reside in space.
But anyway, here brings you what?
We just wanted to see if you'd be willing to come with us for a little trip. To an alternate dimension. Because this one sucks.
Sounds neat. Me's in.
....That was simpler than I thought.
Anyway, where to?
So what, you're expecting to find 4 people who are on the same level as Metal Man?
Like I said, we're looking for people who could benefit from either or both. If we can't find anyone who benefits from both, we'll have to settle for those who desperately need one or the other.

...so, the key to all this is that anyone can be what they want, right?
Clearly that leads to reckless scenarios nonstop. Why should anyone stay here? Why should this Dimension exist?
...one thing that extends across the entire Multi-Omniverse is imbalance.
You're both familiar with the idea of someone trying to tilt the scales in their favor, are you not? You've been around to see what Junko and Seija want.
Not all of the Omniverse is ready for that. And when someone does come in to tilt their scales, it not only furthers imbalance, but leaves that whole Dimension in stress and disarray.
A Dimension like this allows freedom. It allows those who want to release the power otherwise prone to imbalance do so while keeping things...somewhat balanced.
Is it an ideal solution? Obviously not. There are still people who want to tip the scales or forgo them altogether.
But it's the best thing we can do. If this Dimension is somehow destroyed, with nobody agreeing to restore it, another one just like it will be built.
It's happened before.
Mr. Cranky Kong, right? Question. Your Crystal Coconut can detect people's NetNavi counterpart's right? Can it do the same for those of other Dimensions?
...The idea of using Legendary Super Saiyan is tempting (though impossible; I don't even know how Plas Man was even able to access a power that is only available to Saiyans). But we're looking for a BALANCE of powers. (Additionally, Reaper power isn't quite golden. Walter is also a Reaper, and yet his main color appears to be blue, or perhaps grey. Which is ironic, given he's called RedBomber.)


...I discussed the powers we should use with Shaggy, and the powers and colors we needed come in 3 factors:
The White power of Mystic stems from a Godly force... So for Orange, we decided upon a power of more Demonic origins... Alpha Fire will be attempting to obtain this due to his affinity with fire making him a good candidate.
Meanwhile, the Pink power of the Time Lord comes from, well, control over time. For a counter, Shaggy sent Eta Cosmic to go and find GRANDER NOVA, in hopes that he would cast upon Eta Cosmic the Power of Stars.
*Via Divine Telepathy* Like, Master Matt?
And finally, the Final Limit. It is a technique developed from being on the brink of death... So, perhaps a power of someone at their peak could-
Master Matt! We, like have a problem!
What's the issue?
Like, Inner Power's aura turned Green, man!
H-huh!?
OH HEY, IT'S YOU. WELL, I HAVEN'T EXACTLY GOTTEN THE DETAILS FROM THOSE METALLS YET...
...BUT, HEY, YOU'VE DONE FAVORS FOR ME BEFORE. WHY NOT. WHAT'S THE WISH?
