So how do we know if the Harpy girl's nearby?
Well, first of all, considering how we learned about the Chaos Rings' importance in the first place, they'll probably move or show her reflection if we're close enough. Second of all, I have a radar.
Well, Oil Bro, here it is. We just wait for Kappa Whirlpool and his pals to come back from that journey of over time and space, then we ask him about the ring.
And should that plan fail, we give it to you...
I do wonder why Rika said you'd be the next candidate should Kappa Whirlpool be unavailable.
I dunno, dude.
...on second thought, I think I understand quite well.
Oh, Break, you have no idea.
We've researched the greatest threats this dimension has offered to hone our strategy to near flawlessness.
Beta Devil, Hades Quartet, Surge Man, Dark Elf, Jazz, the Life Virus...even you have shaped our plans.
The encounter with Dyna Man was a fluke. A fluke we have learned from.
(Ugh, thought it'd be easy so long as I could just steal one of those things Rumia was powered up with, but THEN this chick with her tank decides to just nab my stuff from me!)
(I hate to say it, but it looks like the only course of action would be to somehow find some OTHER way to power up. Maybe I can find something from the Outside World that could help out.)
Ngh!
Alright, you ugly droid, it's time somewhat shut your lights o--
(RNG, don't fail me now!) SHINGO KIIIIICK!
Shingo, what're you doing!? Get away from there!
Sorry, but I don't plan on being the spectator of the bunch either.
So, now that we've-a-gotten all of them, what's left for us to do now?
(I'unno, honestly. That part was pretty vague.)
We watch-a-out for any signs of this-a-so called threat.
AH, YES. AND PRAY TELL, HOW DO WE LOCATE SOMEONE WHO COULD ME ANYONE, ANYWHERE, AND ANYWHEN POSSIBLE?
You know, for-a-someone who insists on fighting a more dangerous-a-cause, you seem pretty adamant on-a-antagonizing us.
APOLOGIES. THAT IS THE SIDE-EFFECT OF WORKING ALONG WITH THE VERY INDIVIDUALS THAT I WANT TO MURDER. KNOW THAT SHOULD WE SURVIVE THIS ORDEAL, THE FIRST THING THAT I WILL DO IS HAVE YOUR HEADS ON MY WALL.
You can try. And-a-when you and turtle brain plot to conquer everything-- We'll be there to stop him.
...Do we know where we're going?
No. I don't know whether we should give it to Lagnus or one of the Aeons like Rika was implying, or if we should look for someone else. And I'm getting tired of looking.
The sooner we get this over with, the better.
MUST...NOT...FAIL...TWENTY...YEARS...
This isn't right.
How.
...Nevermind, it works, not gonna question it.
I guess we're doing this now... Kusanagi! Shingo! Let's finish him off quickly!
Alright! Leave it to us!
Don't act like you're the boss of me, damnit!
Hey, bolt brain! Here's something you might not've known before! Speed is only one factor in a fight! If you only judge things by their speed, you're bound to overlook key elements!
...I've found you, Kyo. Before we meet again, know this. The next time you leave me... it'll be in a coffin.
Augh!
Gonna be feeling that one in the morning...
...Huh. You truly are something special. I didn't think that I'd have to use this technique. Just don't whine to me when you're be on your trip to the nearest ambulance.
...Very well. Show me this "technique" of yours.
...
...HAOH, SHO--
Hey, hey, hey! Just what do you young men think you're doing!?
....
...Perhaps you youngsters need an old pro to teach you what real martial arts looks like!
(Ugh, How embarrassing.)
Fortunately, I've got just the plan. Sakazaki, you sit this one out.
Really? And just what am I supposed to do then? Just watch?
...Not necessarily. There is an... alternative.
Just what are you trying to sa--
Alright! Feast your eyes, everyone, on the god of martial arts!
...Why is this guy here?
...
...Oh, no, you cannot be serious.
What's the matter, you orange hobo? Scared to face what a real man looks like? I would be too, if I were in the humble presence...
...Of Dan Hibiki, Inventor of the Saikyokugen Martial Arts!
...
(Orange hobo?) ...Alright, "Dan", I accept. Let's take this outside.
Alright! Get ready for the pounding of a lifetime!
Alright, sonny! Why don't you show me just how tough you are?
....
....As you wish.
How are things goin'?
Well, there's good news and bad news.
Good news: The Ring of Spite's fine where it is, and Dark Elf and the Revolt Robots have split up into teams to find the best candidates for the Rings of Serenity and Bravery, plus the Chaos Rings.
Bad news: The Ring of Need turned into something else and now we have to wait for it to finish "evolving", none of the search missions have any progress, and I have no clue what to do with the Purity Heart.
Are we even trained at this point?
Whoh! (I mean, yeah. Chunky got so much mileage out of his training he killed Meta Knight.)
Well, of course you, but what about Shmitt? Fang? Orange? I feel like even those of us who have engaged in high-risk combat aren't ready.
...you do have a point.
In fact, I am reminded of an incident on Pop Star where I confronted a supercomputer, and it gave me training through two opponents I had never faced before.
Hey, we could do that, right?
Perhaps. Not only are there many threats some of us haven't been around for, there are also others that we have faced, but failed to fully overcome.
Hmm...maybe the two of us could whip up some simulations with the data you've got stored, and we can work with that.
That might work...
Hey, guys, I'm getting bored sitting alone in my house in the middle of literal nowhere all day and we all seem to need some training. So...
Anyone up for a spar?
You can be sure I'll sure BS tactics, but so will Regulus, so it's just another thing you'll be prepared for.Also, Rika, jeez, take a break for Matt's sake.
Last time I took a break, Spell Cards had been invented...
...and they started calling things "incidents"...and the kappa...
...I suppose I can handle the rest of what we were working on.
Y'know, it's not every day I get the chance to fight someone like you...
I mean, I suppose I never actually got the chance considering what Walter had just been through when I tried wailing on him...*
...but hey, all the more reason to do it now!!!
