Rika leans into the radar, and recoils just after.
The tank girl and the two Reploids analyze the large dot of Hyper Limited. Its shape is changing constantly, as if defying the radar's circular identification, or...

Gensokyo - Ruined Western Mansion

Li'l Miss Marshmallow teeters, totters, and topples from the onslaught of iX's Heliotrope!!
As she falls to the ground, two opposing doors open, revealing a pair of figures similar to the defeated maid robot...but also highly dissimilar. To the right, six legs emerge from the doorway, with the ends alternating between feet and various cleaning and self-care items, a different one for each limb. From the left, something floats in with no legs at all, but instead to gigantic devices attached to the machine's back.
The right figure prepares four of its six legs, while the left opens up what appear to be vent flaps on its giant, blocky devices.

iX: If your here then... what did you do to the residents of this manor!? He readies the Heliotrope... waiting for his answer...

Gritzy DesertGame & Watch suddenly leaps in the air in his octopus form, about to create a huge sandstorm on impact!

Little Papa Beta's - OutsideSpeaking of Proto MKII-- oh. It's just Wildburn.

(Wildblade, thank you.) Damn. Someone call the local Fire Department, because I believe this man has been the victim of a B-U-R-N Burn!

What are you doing here?

Well, I was gonna grab some grub, but I didn't know Little Papa Beta's offered barbecued food as well! sheesh!
Moreover, now I just wonder what's gonna happen next. My main guy spent all his time trying to prepare for a successful tournament, only to be the victim of bankruptcy and ultimate rejection by the public & private. Will it prove to be a turning point in his morale for the better as he attempts to redeem himself? Or will his resolve multiply by his lack of anything to lose, revealing his true nature along the way?
Also stealing from the Government sounds nice. Then again, I don't do the ol' mercenary/thief business for free.

Little Papa Beta's - Outside

Beta Shadow decides to peer in through the door.

Well, you should try out our barbecue pizza at some point. Except, I hate to break it to you, Wildcard, but we here at Little Papa Beta's have decided to ban ALL versions of Proto MKII in the entire Omniverse from this restaurant due to particular recent seasons of events.
...Except for Defteros, he's cool.

Stanley's Greenhouse, 1983

...Invaded by a Gorilla, swarmed by insects, and swiftly fired from my dream job. Any OTHER old wounds you wanna open up, old geezer?
Well, if it takes opening up old wounds to find the source of all your problems, then that's just what we'll have to do, isn't it?

The two then leave the time era, moving on to the next.

Probably should've seen that coming. Oh, well, it's fair 'nuff. Your pizza joint, your rules. I've got no beef with that.Mmmm... beef.

Wildwood yawns, and prepares to leave before turning around.

Oh yeah. Word for the wise: Others might seem just like "Alternate MKII" to you, but if you judge us all by that same verdict, you are bound to be wrong. Take your Z-Team for example. Drastic experiences changed them into the people they are today. I bet they know better than anyone how-- for lack a better term-- unfair-- that is, to lump them in the same group as their newer counterparts.
Just food for thought! Later, 'gators!Speaking of beef...

Wildebeest Okay, now that one was just dumb! leaves.

Little Papa Beta's

...Honestly, this is moreso to be safe rather than quick judgement. As far as I'm concerned, Defteros is the only outlier; beyond him, I don't think there is such a thing as a "good" MKII. That's just how inherently evil he is.
...Now, I'll believe in a "good" MKII only if I actually see it. But as of right now, I'm having a hard time believing such a thing exists, Defteros aside.
...Which, for the record, I'm counting Prototype- and Anthem to an extent- as a separate entity from MKII, rather than an alternate of him.
There are just some risks you just can't take... Especially in a world like THIS.

New Donk City, 2015*

...So, THAT job was also a bust.**
Sorry to hear about that. I could've sworn that would've been the one. *Sigh* That's just the way things have been for me... Always down on my luck. I've tried branching out, and I've tried things I'm familiar with. But I just can't seem to find a lasting job... I'd be out on the streets, if it weren't for the fact that we live in a place where gold coins could be found just about anywhere. Even though the apartment I have to live in just plain stinks.
Well, it's good to know you're still alright... I still don't know why you didn't want to join the party we threw for Mario.***
...
...Wait a second... You're not still jealous of Mario, are you?
Wh-what? Jealous of ol' Jumpman? Heck no! Why would I be?
...Stanley, we both know lying is not a good look on you.
...Fine, you got me. I am jealous, very much so... It's just... He wasn't that kind of a person, you know? He had his fair share of... moments. And yet, EVERYONE seems to just praise him, and that brother of his! Heck, his brother even got a whole YEAR dedicated to him!****
And, heck, people seem to praise that Donkey Kong guy, too, despite how much he and his father kidnapped you. He even has his own ISLAND named after him!
All on top of Cranky being a deity, too...
He's a WHAT NOW!?
You haven't heard? I figured you would have by now.
*Sigh* And what do I have to show for everything I've done at this point? Nothing. I'm just another nobody in a sea of ordinary citizens...
And what's wrong with ordinary?
Nothing, really... It's just... I just feel like I'm meant for something more, you know?
...Well, I know where you're coming from, at least... In any case, I hope you get the happiness you deserve, Stanley.
Thanks, Lady Pauline. Good luck with the mayoral debate.

Pauline and Past Stanley go their separate ways.

...*Sigh* You know, it was nice to have a friend like Lady Pauline to talk to.
Hm, yes. A friend to rely on is always a nice thing... It's certainly something you shouldn't take for granted.
Yeah, I suppose you're right about-

Stanley suddenly realizes what the old man was referring to.

...Oh.

Shiver CityOverwhelmed, Roy and his crew are on the verge of being beaten, Roy being the victim of a relentless onslaught of fists from Wario.

You useless runts! Now look at us!!
That's it! It's time we kick *Urgh* things *Yow!* inta overdri--

As Roy tries to power up and tap into the same spell the other Koopalings used, nothing happens.

What the--!? What's *Ouch* goin' on!?
Apologies. You were trying to trigger a certain transformation, weren't you?
Wh-... What *Ow* happened?!
How gullible. When I hit you, I dispelled that foreign energy in you, preventing you from transforming. At least, long enough for you four to be defeated.
Oh, no...

Roy is Power Thrown into a nearby tree head-first, dizzying him!

U-ugh... J-joke's uhn yuh, Mughneto... this guhn wuz meide outtuh wood!

He is then hit by a Homing attack from Tailigee.

Hey! Hands off my prey, Green Stache!

Mao: Agh! There's sand in my eyes! Hero Prinny: Hol' up dood. I got this. He then starts digging around in his fanny pack...

As the diplomat considers each offer, another blade comes crashing down. In the ensuing silence, four troopers hop out of the transport, their boots leaving prints onto the grassy surface. With one look, Bladesmatter retreats from the window of the Halberd as the radar starts beeping like crazy.

Kilroy wants to call off the negotiations.
What? But I'm almost done.
Kilroy doesn't care. Tell your soldiers to ready their weapons. We've been order to initiate plan B.
But I'm in charge of this operati-
We are now taking charge. Either report back to base or risk PUNISHMENT.
I want to hear it from Kilroy himself. Besides, your uniform's unlike any I've seen. How do I know your-

The diplomat's face goes pale as the red soldier slowly peels away his face, revealing a protruding green eye. You could swear that the eye is smirking.
With a bang, one of the red troopers fires off a shotgun immune to the sabotage, striking the diplomat in the chest. As he slides down, the nearby soldiers look on in horror.
The unmasked soldier suddenly pulls out a detonator and activates it. As he starts to laugh in a monotone voice, the ship above explodes in a orange flash, causing debris to slowly rain down onto the field. While everyone's distracted, the area around Kirby's house is covered in a grey substance, preventing any means of entrance nor escape.

Bio Star Factory

The corks bounce off of the arms, sending two of them flying back. Biocut manages to cut one but misses the other. The creature seems to have retreated from whence it came.

Mighty keeps sitting for a few seconds, completely unresponsive to anything.
...

A flash of light covers the entirety of Popstar, which is now timefrozen. No exceptions besides Mighty in his Celestial Forme. To prevent any BS coming from Grey Matter or the Despair Troops, he also seems to be using the Love-Love Stick as a Hope Energy reservoir.

Fuck you, no.

Time is rewound to just before the Diplomat gets shot, and as it starts moving again the shot somehow hits the red soldier. A battalion of Chordroids teleports in to counterattack the Despair Troops, urging the UKR troops to do the same.

(OOC: Dick move ngl.)
But then... the sword that held the saboture statred to be carried by some psychic force... ???:...

Pop Star

Similar to Mighty, Shadow Mewtwo simply sits without response, analyzing the situation...

...I suppose this is a "no" for my offer, then?
...Very well. I suppose this was very well expected...
...Mankind only ever cares about themselves, after all.

Using psychic powers, Shadow Mewtwo destroys the technological necklace he brought by crushing it... This is then followed by him doing the same thing to the minds of a few of the Despair Squad. He then proceeds to levitate next to Mighty.

...This lot has wasted my time. As such, I shall assist you in taking them down... But know this. Once it is all said and done...
...I shall return to my original plot to destroy all of your kind.

Shadow Mewtwo proceeds to continue attacking Despair Troops left and right.

Stanley's Apartament, 2015

A few hours after his talk with Pauline, Past Stanley sits alone in his apartment. A familiar-looking blue cat lies resting next to the seat. Stanley leans down to pet the cat.

...Don't worry, Tom*. I'm sure I'll get myself a new job someday...



Past Stanley and Tom are immediately startled by the appearance of the strange man.

G-gah!!! Wh-who are you...?




You want to... help me? But... How? Why, even?















You... You want to enlist me in some kind of space army?






...You... You want to enlist my cat?




...I dunno...

Stanley looks over to Tom, who is just as uncertain about it.

...Well... I suppose I've got nothing left to lose...
...Alright, I'll do it. I accept your offer, mister...?



Present Stanley and the old man watches as Dastardly places a hand on both Past Stanley's and Tom's shoulders, then instantly warps away.

...
Oh? Is that regret I'm sensing from you, Stanley?
...I only ever joined them out of desperation... If I had known exactly what I was signing up for, I never would have done so to begin with.
I can see that... After all, it WAS joining this "Heeta Force" that molded your personality into the sort of person who seeks nothing more than the spotlight.
The same sort of person who would eventually do this...

The old man and Stanley moves forwards in time.

---

*Yes, Stanley is Tom the Cat's owner in this universe. Just roll with it.

M: Yes, humanity is jerks, but take into consideration that the Despair Troops who interrupted a possibly fruitful negotiation are artificial humanoids who are also possessed by a demon, okay?

Mighty proceeds to make some Despair Troops implode.

ooc:done for today

As Bandanna Dee runs outside, spear in hand, Meta Knight uses his Rainbow Galaxia to Drill Rush one of the Despair Troops!!
For a moment, R.O.B. is distracted with familiar, painful memories...

Isle of Ancients - Subspace Bomb Factory, 2008*

As the Ancient Minister stands before a group of six, a red hologram appears behind him.
The Minister rushes to the front of the R.O.B. Army.
The red hologram holds out his fist. In it is a small device, with a button on one end.
The figure presses the button.
The R.O.B. Army's eyes glow red, and they dart towards the Subspace Bombs.
Growing desperate, the Ancient Minister begins shoving his people out of the way of the Subspace Bombs!
The device is activated again, but this time a command is given as well...
The R.O.B.s begin to shake, and proceed to take aim at the Ancient Minster, blasting him with lasers until he's engulfed in flames...

Pop Star, Present Day

R.O.B. snaps out of his trance.
More motivated than ever, R.O.B. plants his arms on the ground, leans his head forward, rotates it, and blasts the Despair Troops with a Super Diffusion Beam!!!

Super Diffusion Beam: (Laser/Explode) R.O.B. fires a gigantic, continuous laser from his eyes, which splits into four smaller lasers after traveling a certain distance.
