Alright, let's go!
It's on!!!
Volt Man, this is your training mission.
Do you remember when you first met Surge Man?
Oh yeah! He said something about opening that barrier with Medallions, and I told him I'd go do it...
...by...going through the barrier...and then leaving...
Calm down Volt. We may never know exactly what would have happened if you took the chance back then...
...but with this simulation, you might learn what it'd be like to be close.
Really?!
For the rest of you, we prepared seven more missions, with two of you occupying each.
Each one is based on the past, and while what you face may not look or act like a perfect recreation, they will still be recognizable.
...So, you're telling me a lookalike counterpart of mine has already seized an unfathomble power and plans on destroying everything?
...Hmm. Well, no point in attempting to hide myself with pointless shadowy remarks.
Oh, are you kidding me? I bust my robo-
prepping to do bad stuff and this guy grabs a couple of rings and says "I'm god now"? We're the Wily Omega! We aren't supposed to use stupid trinkets to show our true power! That's MKII 101!
That sounds completely fatuous. I'd slice the idiot who came up with the idea of doing that in half.
Why? My presence won't make a difference in the outcome. I think I'll just wait for this to blow over and do whatever after this. I bet you a million zeni they won't even be able to "kill" him either.
No. While applying the logic of the ever-infinite timelines would mean that there is a possible "Council" of us, that would deter other MKIIs from their independence. Relying on others is quite literally the opposite of what we would do. So now you know.
...Why do you think I care? Whether we cross paths is up to fate. Speaking of doppelgangers...
If Duracell is dead, then why are you still here?
That explains nothing. Seriously. What's keeping you alive?


B--
It's been ages since I actually used these...
...but they'll really do a NUMBER on you!!!
Okay, he's gonna tell me to shut up, aaaand...
Didn't think I'd do THIS, huh?!
THIS WAS NOT MEANT TO HAPPEN. PREPARE UNIT FOR ADDITIONAL PROTECT-
Sorry, buddy, this time I'm not waiting for the Medallions!!
EMERGENCY BACKUP IS UNDERWAY.
YOU WILL KNOW OUR NAMES.
Oh, sweet Rozner...
Well, that Pokemon Stadium game was entertaining. (Even moreso after I hacked the game to include myself...)
...So, what have you lot been up to? Still worrying about the "end of the Omniverse" or whatever?
...But if I were to upgrade him, then maybe... Hm, no, surely that wouldn't work...
...Am I interrupting something? You seem to be thinking out loud...
...So I was.
What have you been thinking about doing, anyways?
...
...I was thinking about reviving Prototype-001. If we had him on our side, then it would be not even just one person helping us. If we revived him, then it'd be likely that Laser Joe would become willing to help us, meaning that all of Team Prototype would join in the cause against Regulus.
...The PROBLEM, however, is that they are all far too weak to make any sort of difference. If they tried to fight Regulus with us, they'd all die in a matter of a second.
...That may be true. ...But with Regulus as powerful as he is... we may need all the help we can get.
...That's the other problem. The chances of Prototype joining us, especially when he figures out the kind of monster we're up against, is likely to be extremely slim. If anything, he'd probably join Soul and the others on the sidelines.
...Maybe. But he also had enough willpower to stand against the MKII Virus, even if he ended up failing. So we'll never know unless we try.
...
...Very well. Missingno., create for us an Extra Life, will you?
...Oh, fine. (I'm honestly not a big fan of this plan, though...)
...Alright, here goes. Orchestra, you're coming with me.
Huh? Why me?
...Because Prototype is unlikely to know who you are... And therefore, out of all of us, you're the only one Prototype's most likely to trust, if only somewhat.
Probably should have started out with this...
Better late than never, though!!
OUR PLANS WILL NOT FAIL SO SOON.
I do wonder what the Doctor meant when he said we would not know of this tale.
Eh, it's prob'bly not gonna be a problem, mate. Let's just get it-
GAGH!!!
YOU WILL NOT STOP ME FROM KILLING THE IMPOSTER.
...where are we now?!
It appears to be the same loca-
...crikey, am I lost.
How many of those mines did Sonic Man put down again?
...wait, no, I think it was 144...
What exactly are we supposed to do?!
Well, she's attacking from behind, so probably...
THAT!!!
YOU SHALL PAY FOR THAT.
CHAIN ATTACK.
Oh.
Urgh...
Hey...it's still...*cough*...progress...
