V A R I O V I L L S H O W Y O U F U -- Agh, I bit mein tongue!
Vun year. I vill scare vou two vun year yet.
Ugh, so much for that. Waluigi, mark 2020 as a failure.
...Waluigi?
Wario? What are-a you doing here? ...Wait... Has-a Waluigi run off somewhere?
...Also, who's-a that guy?
APOLOGIES, SUBJECT "Proto Man Alucard". I APPEAR TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE BARRIER CREATED TO KEEP YOU HERE DUE TO THE COMMOTION AT LOCATION "Gemini TV Tournament".
...THERE. YOU ARE NOW FREE TO DO AS YOU WISH... WITHIN REASON.
...Seriously, what did I-a miss?
Do you really think you can end this story so soon?
Hmh. (You know what? Mao's got the right idea.)
Henngh!! (I don't think this is about Gensokyo's first Hell anymore; you just wanted to be dangerous again, and you didn't care that I had a life outside of my island.)
Wuh! (I'm leaving. And going where my friends are. Which is where I should have been this whole time.)
Honestly? Rumia or no Rumia, you've been wasting your time, Konngara.
This whole thing about fighting for "those whose names faded from history" isn't really needed around here. People much more forgotten than those you picked for your little conquest are out there living their own lives just fine, and most of them who aren't being friendly about it are just hurting people for the sake of it*.
Trust me, I know a lot of those "forgotten" people from experience. One of them actually used to be where you are right now, and yet she was saved from rock bottom.
...
*sigh*
Here. No use in wasting more time on this island.
What's it to you? It's not like you were there when Peach was kidnapped.
Yes, it's true. It happened right from under our noses, and thankfully, Wario and Waluigi (and Petey Piranha) were there to stop them from getting away.
Darn right I was!!
You abused the Magic Paintbrush into doing whatever you wanted.
But the ends justify the means! Isn't that right, Waluigi-- aw, crap, he's in one of the paintings.
Which one!?
Hmmm... If I had to guess...
Blast it, how could I, King Bob-omb, be defeated by such a fiendish foe? And with such a dastardly mustache, nonetheless.
That's what happens when you try to compete with the best of the best!! You wanna reign over this place as the ruler!?...
...Too bad. Waluigi time.
He's probably getting his butt kicked out there for sure. That dunce couldn't defend himself for his life!
As complacent as you have been, you've neglected to tell these two something we've only recently found.
What?
THERE ARE TWO BOWSERS!!!
I did it! I beat Omega Rugal!
Next on the list is Shin Akuma. Good luck with that.
*grumpy noises*
Hmmm. How interesting. Two psyches both in one body.
???
Ah. My sincerest apologies for intruding on your realm, Mr. Walter...
I merely wish to satisfy simple curiosities on my end.
Proto Matter
Never minding how you got here... Who are you!? You remind me of MKII... but I don't sense any evil... or... anything from you.
My identity is of leastmost importance, but for the sake of future informalities you may refer to me as Proto Matter. As to what I am... Perhaps that will be revealed at a later date.
Right. The next question. What curiosities?
Forgive me for going on a tangent, but this world has an abundance of fascinating features... powers, if you will.
You yourself are no exemption. You yourself are capable of harnessing the energy of your latent sentiments and manifesting powerful boosts of which. There is Justice. There is Chaos. And then there is Emotion.
The headbanded one is no different. A lone wanderer, he attempts to conquer the Satsui no Hado, Power gained through Murderous Intent that is inside of him, and seek enlightenment in The Power Of Nothingness, born through spiritual and mental refinement.
This so-called Omniverse is like no other, to have a variety of different components that make people who they are. And as such, I find it interesting to travel through in search of each of these powers. Whether it be Magic, Science, or the Spiritual, the extravagance of abilities is truly captivating in my respectful opinion.
...Huh.
This has been an enlightening experience thus far, Walter. I thank you for lending me your time and listening to my words. I will leave you to your business.
First off, Me and Luigi were-a... Preoccupied. (Something that I-a don't think will be the last I hear of-a it...) And then, when we were-a done, some thief stole our-a Warp Whistle back to the-a Mushroom Kingdom.
To be honest, I'm-a surprised at how long the flight from-a Mega City to the Mushroom Kingdom is, even with-a Tails' Tornado...
Also, TWO-a Bowsers!?
...Hm... Two-a Bowsers...
(...If what I'm-a thinking is correct, then I-a wonder... Should we-a tell Somari about this?)
(...CAN we-a tell Somari about this? I don't think even-a Sonic has a way to contact him...)
...Actually, something tells me that's-a not even the worst part... I've-a been doing some scou- ...Er, I-a had someone ELSE* do some scouting for me...
...And, well... Have-a you ever heard of a Company called Quartet Enterprises? If-a not... I'm-a sure Wario can tell you all about it.
Indeed, strange. Had you have wanted to go to this "Direct" why did you not go sooner? Surely you would have arrived in timely fashion.
....
...Ah, cripes.
I doubt Master Luigi is lying. Wario. What do you know about this "Quartet Enterprises"?
...Look. Before I did some investing of my own, when I found myself lost doing some... innocuous treasure-hunting... I met a certain guy. He offered me a job as an elite artifact-hunter, steeeaaaaaluhbuhbuhbuhborrowing plenty of important items in different worlds.
It's been a long time I've done anything involving them, though. What I wanna know, though, is why this is so important?
....Ah. Of course. How foolish of me to ask.
Would this be to your pleasure?
However I may be of use.
...Because apparently, Bowser has-a been provided some troops by-a this "Quartet Enterprises". And I'm-a not sure whether or not they can still- or will- continue to do their business here on Earth, in whatever world or dimension they happen to be in...
...But if Bowser has had some form of-a business connection with-a this company, we may be in-a serious trouble in the future.
...Ok, Beta Shadow said that he'll be able to arrange for us a place to live here in...
...Huh. What city IS this, even?
You know, it's been such an unimportant factor, that I don't think it's even been considered.
...Allegrotopolis. (Of course it'd be based on a musical term...)
...You seem in thought. Something on your mind?
Just a curious thought... There are many different versions of Sonic and Mega Man, and we have at least 3 different Marios in the world, not counting Somari... Heck, we even have several different Quints and- of all people- Proto MKII.
Which makes me wonder... Are there alternate versions of us? I mean, you could argue that it's unlikely, seeing that you, me, and "vanilla" Beta Man are from similar universes... Heck, Beta X is from an alternate world where I remained to be reprogrammed.*
...But then there's Beta Serif.
...Well... It's certainly not impossible.
