...Hmmph. You were intended to be my back-up. My successor. A new leader. A reborn emperor. But all you did was disappoint. You fought at the very hand that brought you life. And for what, exactly? It seems as though I have underestimated Defteros' influence on others.
...I will tear a shred of pride for a sake of the truth. During my return to the world after slaying that purple clown, I saw what could've been. I saw myself as not only the end of all things-- but a potential ally to others.
I... I had returned to nothing but a shred of my former glory. Destruction is not quelled. Madness is not cured.
Worst of all, I had even gone against my own word in the sense that I relied on a foreign power for the advantage. Can you believe that!? Me, an installer of chaos... resorting to the artifacts of others as my own sort of leverage!?
Akin to that obese swine, I had forfeited my own identity in favor of success. I had become a joke. Nothing but a pitiful representation of the idiocy of some so-called "lore". And on top of that, even then, at the cost of betraying myself... even at the cost of second-guessing my previous lifestyle, no matter how many people claimed to have "rised to my level"... no matter how many people claimed that I was weak compared to my so-called predecessor... there was nobody on earth that could have stopped me. Success was all mine... had not have I been foiled only by one... Dare I call him "man"... with a single attack that weakened me to my very core. Utterly humiliated, I had to eliminate and reroute myself due to what had occured.
"Regulus"... The very mention of whom makes me wish to retch. I renounce that name. I renounce that existence. But more importantly... I resent you, and this entire Island. Good riddance.
Hold on, that looks like the tower Dyna was just in!
Yeah, that's the heart I smashed!
Pretty sure I saw that Drawcia lady appear from a paintbrush like that, too...
But why was she in there?
... (...)
... (I think we need to have a talk elsewhere about your past experiences with Dark Matter.)
Hmm...
So tell me...what are you guys doing here anyhow? There's hardly anything here after all... Sure, there was that Dark Matter garbage, but you didn't know about it beforehand.
NO no no no n- *SLASH*
Dark Matter is a threat Pop Star takes very seriously. If the UKR is obtaining power from it, we need to find it.
We found ourselves here for other reasons, but when Dedede, Bandanna Dee and I are finished, we're heading straight to Doppler Labs to obtain more information.
Suwako and I chimed in because Mighty told Dyna he needed him and an exorcist; since I'm a wind priestess and I've worked with youkai extermination he figured I was close enough.
...wait, why was R.O.B. here?
So, what's the problem?
... (...the voices I heard when scanning that heart shard told me something.)
... (I've done enough research on Dark Matter to know that for the majority of its first two invasions, you were a major host. Do you know what you did at that time?)
Gh!!
Huh. This place doesn't seem different at all...
I agree, Master Wario. There is a surprising shortage of villainy going around... Perhaps the situation has already been taken care of?
Wahah! As if anyone but me would be capable of putting that shell-head yourself!
Hmm...
Hmph! I'm starving! What's this lousy place got to eat!
If you haven't noticed, Master Wario, time is of the essence. We haven't a moment to spare thinking about our stomachs!?
Yeah, yeah! I can see that little Kingdom of yours up ahead. If we hurry, we might make it.
Steady on, then!
...
You guys killed them all...
Well...almost all.
Tell me vampire. What separates you from I?
If you truly are omnipotent, then you would know how pointless all of this really is.
