Look! If you guys are just gonna spend all day whispering to each other, I guess I'll have to kick this Ludvig guy's can myself! Then everyone will finally realize just how much more righteous I am then some red & blue do-gooder wimp!
Huh?
What the--!?
Just a moment! I'm sure this is just someone calling to give me my Nobel Pri--
D'oh! Of all of the rotten luck in the world, why ME!? I know just who to blame for this...
Me!? What'd Waluigi do!?
Don't play dumb, you surly simpleton! You obviously gave someone the info they needed to break-in!
If anyone's to blame, it's Wario! Your gloating probably gave some rotten weasel the bright idea to plunder our goods!
You think so!?
I KNOW so!!
Wahahahahah! Ahhahahah!
Nyehahahahahaah! Wahahah! Oh, that's just too good!
Those morons! What'd they take us for, some kinda amateurs!? A REAL investor would keep a GPS nanotech tracker in case of such an event!
Those idiots are gonna regret ever trying to mess with us!
Now, then, what was it you were saying? Something 'bout solving who caused this?
Ow. Thank you. I would of escaped sooner but...
I have nobody to help me out.
Great, that's fine. If you lot want to worry about a bunch of stolen treasures or something, then go ahead, whatever. But as much as greedy lot like you would think otherwise, there is more at stake here than money.
As for whatever happened with Jumpman, we'll confront that later. Right now, there are bigger fish to fry.
Whaddya mean whatever happened with me? I'm just fi-
LATER. Now, if anyone wants to help double-trouble over there, then go with them. But if any of you wants to deal with the IMPORTANT battle, then let's head off to Toad Town.
...Hey, boss! We found this strange-looking bird running around our territory for some reason!
We tried to make them tell us why they came here, but it doesn't speak a lick of any language I'd know!
See? Nothin' but some kind of strange bird sounds.
It's almost as if... It's mocking us, that's it! You're here to mock us Goombas, aren't you?
Yeah, I think you're right, Blue! I think this bird really is trying to mock us! So WHAT if we're so easily stompable, eh? Who are YOU to judge?
Yeah! I'd bet that YOUR species is constantly used as nothing more than training fodder!
What do we do with 'em, boss?
...So, you wish to make a mockery of us Goombas, hm...? Well, then... For this act of rudeness- as well as trespassing upon our territory-... Then, much like how our kind is stomped on by the boots of the Plumbers...
...You, too, shall be stomped by the mighty King of the Goombas!



...So, you wish to defend this perpetrator, hm? Fine, then... You shall ALL be flattened under my boot!
Whaddya mean, greedy!? I'll have you know I'm the most righteous and charitable person you could ever hope to lay eyes upon!!
But if it shuts your stupid bug-spraying mug up, fine! We'll show this Ludvig von Koopa guy just how much trouble he's put himself in!
When we're done cleaning this kooky koopa kid's clock, I expect a golden medal and cake in my honor! And a little something extra, too...
Uh...
I-a-think Stanley has-a-point. The sooner we take-a-care of Ludvig, the-a-sooner we can-a-put a stop to-a-Wart.
WAKA-WAKA. (Who?)
We'll-a-fill you in-a-later. For now, let's-a-just get a move-a-on.
I may often take pride in my strength. I even thought I could be a mentor because of it.
But much too often I've been proven that it's not enough for people to rely on brute strength.
...just recently I was given a cruel reminder of that. I nearly lost a friend.
But I'm not making the same mistake anymore.
So, yeah. Some of the Hyper Limited got on her gohei, but I don't know what's keeping her so upset...
...I faced something like this back - well, I suppose it would be forth* - when both the Limited and I were alive in the same place†.
At one point during my first use of the Limited, someone had their weapon infected, turning it into the "Clear Buster". It heightened their powers...but it quickly evolved into a form where it drained its power and tried to control them.
What's more, it went from affecting just their buster to their armor as a whole.
...that mean friend Sanae have Hyper Limited in her?!
Yep. I don't know if it was something Team Mecha tried to pull or the parasite evolving by itself, but apparently it's learned how to find organic hosts, like the HEX Adaptors.
Man, you little punk!
*ROAR!* (As per usual with you humans, your bark is worse than your bite. Allow me to show you true pain.)
D--
*ROAR!* it!!
Show me your moves!
Urgh... How are we supposed to handle these things!? Seriously, I'd say Kilroy's gotten on my last nerve, but at this point he's already done with it!
...
...Is something wrong, si-
Release them.
A-are you sure? We still don't know if we can even contro-
I said release them.
...
...DESTROY.
...Now, I'm sure this requires explanation... You see, when we set off for space, we found something, floating aimlessly in the cosmos... Broken remains of myself, from when I became Jazz Hands.
...The idea to scan these parts and make back-up droids based off of them was actually Missingno.'s idea. Initially, I was going to refuse... But then I thought of something...
...I am not planning on forgetting my past actions. Nor will I accept forgiveness for them, for they deserve none. ...But I can still make something good out of them.
...Obviously, these are replications of a robot who has been completely destroyed, so the power output doesn't match that of Jazz Hands. I have also taken the liberty of removing any traces of Limited or Anti-Omni Energy that remained... Whatever traces of Evil Energy it had has already been removed prior due to Regulus ridding of the MKII Virus...
...But I feel the results speak for themselves. (Thankfully...)
Lost a friend?...
Oh father...You poor, poor fool.
Power, raw power is what brings about change. Allow me to show you.

Their laziness is rubbing off on you. Slowing you down.
The only friends we have are ourselves! The ones we protect only see us as guardians. They would stand against us if we tried to better their way of life! Our kings, the ones we sworn our lives to, only use us for protection, nothing more! Face it!
WE ARE ALONE.
I don't think "possessing everyone" is a correct definition of bettering someone's lifestyle.
I will admit, sometimes people will manipulate so-called "friends" the way you believe.
But companions are even more likely to teach others how to learn from their mistakes, or when enough is enough. Forcing yourself to be alone means pushing away people who, believe it or not, actually give a darn.
