Our commander and that grey matter thing want to speak with everyone on the Halberd. They say they've figured out how to solve this crisis.
Excuse me, the finals have just now ended, correct?
I'll take that as a yes.
Now then, let me take a look at the winner.
May I get your name?
I am Dr. Walnut. Who might you be?
I'm the stand-in for Commander Air. He was going to attend and give the position to the winner, but he told me he was "sick" and wanted me to go in his steed. In any case, could you stand in the center of the arena?
Oh, and you too.
Me?
Well you are a finalist, right?
Well yes but-
First off, congratulations on your victory Dr. Walnut. I imagine it was a harrowing couple of rounds against some of the toughest foes this universe has to offer.
Even though save for the last one, they were just toasters with guns, sure, why not?
It's because of this that I'm offering you the position as the leader of the Science Division. Make you take it with pride.
And as for you...small blond girl. Though you lost, I doubt that your fights weren't any less exciting.
Even though save for the last one, they were just toasters with guns, sure, why not?
That's why I've decided both finalists are coming with her as his assistant.
What?
But she's-
No no. No buts. The way I see it is that having two excellent doctors means that work would be done even quicker.
Well actually I have a friend that's also coming with me; Dr. Emon.
Even better! Now three doctors can create a machine capable of fighting me-er...fighting those that oppose the UKR. Yeah...
With all due respect, I don't think Commander Air will let you-
Nonsense. This UKR said to be wealthy, right? Then it's more than able to pay for two-er...three salaries. Besides, Air said himself that I was to be charge of this...operation as he put it.
Yes sir he did. But if you would just listen for a secon-
Sorry. I've already decided.
Everyone ready?
A real shame we didn't get the chance to meet that MKII fellow that was broadcasted everywhere. No matter, next stop, the Gobi Desert!
...very well. What do they have to say?
9,800 Zenny?!
What's that look for? It's the most intense sunscreen around, and it doesn't wear off; it's a reasonable price.
If I wanted to pay nearly 10k Zenny for something that keeps people from almost dying, I'd expect it to be treated like an essential and not a luxu-
...
Don't worry, it's not that much of the yellow prize things†.
Thank you for your purchase, have a wonderful day.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Have you all learned NOTHING!?
Missingno. Don't be so quick to assume.
...I'll let this meeting occur... But if it ends up as yet another trap, intended to lure us into a false sense of resolving this peacefully, know that we shall not help you. I'm sure you'd understand, seeing the obvious reason why we don't want to go anywhere NEAR any form of Grey Matter that isn't Bladesmatter.
I fully understand. In fact, I was more prepared to shut them down out of the expectation that they were, indeed, hostile.
If anything they say falls out of reasonable negotiation, we are returning to Mighty's original plan immediately.
Don't worry, even if they say they'll completely leave this world I'll check every atom individually to make sure they weren't lying.
With guns.
.Hello
.Until now, we have lead you into a false sense of security, making you believe that all encounters with us will be...winnable
.What you've just witnessed is when you have drawn our full attention
.The gloves have come off .But...they can be put back on
What?
...We will leave
.If you can answer one,simple,question
?What does it mean to exist
No. Heel. Drop.
Boss? I...I thought-
Biocut? I thought you would never show up!
That's twice now you failed to show up at a raid.
I...I...
I thought you all died! Why didn't you pick up on the scanners?
We had to remove the locator chips to avoid getting picked up by the security. It was a last minute thought really.
So those piles of junk...
What piles?
You mean at the secret tunnel that no one is supposed to know about?
Yeah! Why didn't I think of checking for more than just tags-
Oh.
So how many of them are there?
Huh?
The UKR! They're swarming all around the place, right?
I think they're all gone. At least from the rooms we entered.
In that case let's head back to grab supplies. Hey purple weasel thing.
You ever need us, just call us. Weapons, potions, you name it, we'll provide it. We owe you a debt after all for what's basically you checking to see if the air's toxic to organic. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that a radiation leakage is in this area. If you need an escort out of here, we can pr-.
*gurgle*
Oh yeah. Him. Weasel, this is the Beast of Bio Star, or Bob for short. We would of gone for Bobs, but who name their children Bobs?
(Soren XP has started up)
Uh hey Stache?
Yeah?
So I was wondering...why are you trying to help me?
Pardon?
It's my dream to work somewhere as extensive as the UKR's research departments before setting off on my own. I thought you hated me. So, from that logic, why would you-
It's simple. I have no faith in you.
Huh?
The way I see is that if we go back home, you'll use that inferior junkyard technology to try and pry at my parts. With how rusty both that tech and you are, I'm 91% sure that I'd explode. Meanwhile with the UKR, I only detect a 21% chance, lower if you have nothing to do with it.
Oh...
And while I'll admit that before the finals, I would of gladly gone for the 91% if it means I wouldn't have to put up with you, something...changed.
This form...it's supposed to be a different model, a different suit if you will. How I managed to acquire this suit remotely is something I wish to find. Maybe my research will allow me to become accepted once more by Giegure.
Hey! I've have enough to hear with this Giegure fellow. Save for saving you from death, I've done nothing wrong. I don't deserve to treated like this.
Like what?
Like I'm just a stepping stone for some higher goal.
Seems familiar.
What are you talk-
...
And there we go. The human finally uses her brain. How does it feel to actually come up with an original idea? Sure I helped nudge you along but-
If you keep talking like that, I will scrap you. Are we clear?
No. No you won't. You need me.
No. No I don't.
Use that brain of yours. Shaker over there...
He couldn't harm a twig. Me though? I'm the only protection you have. Especially with Jade's power core broken.
...
So like I said.
You need me.
Know this Master Gigure, even if you don't want me, I refuse to work with the enemy. Even if I never get a lick of gratitude, I will fulfil my duty; eradicate those that stand before my race. And if not for you nor my fellow Starmen...
Then for myself.
?Peon .I willfully assist them in their goals because they need help .They needed a hero, and for what's it's worth, I was chosen .I simply ask for my own knowledge as well as to prove a point .In any case
.Mystery voice ?May I ask your name
Oh, for the love of...
One of you guys answer grey man's question. I'll confront this other guy myself.I'm terrible at philosophy, anyways.
...Alright, Ra Thor. Let's get this over with...
There is nothing "bastardized" about Halloween, and even so, who cares, it's just a holiday, it's not something to be an absolute asshole over. Also, the concept of a seasonal arc does not work if you're not going to be a continually active presence, so just stop it. And finally, your true identity, for whatever reason Hightower has decided upon, is Fozzie Bear. Here's a tip: Next time, if you're going to disguise your voice, keep it disguised. Use a voice synthesizer if you must. I know you comedians work on impressions, but sometimes emotions can ruin said impressions.
...There. Now you have nothing to fight for, no secrets to hide, and your plotline became completely unnecessary. So stop trying to make this plotline longer than it already is, because other people have villain arcs they want to do, too. Also, it'll finally get Beta Shadow off his lazy ass and finally kill off Beta Devil before he decides to massacre this entire universe.
...I'll tell you what. I understand that HighTower likes to do things based on what is "current" a lot of the time. I've also come to understand that- SPOILER ALERT- you've probably got a lot of new attack material from the new Ra Thor boss from 8BDM.
So, here's the deal: You stop trying to ruin everything we've worked so hard to do against Kilroy and all his despair crap... And I'll fight you. Deal?
I see. (I guess nothing's ever going to come out of the whole Ra Thor after all. Not unless Rotom decides to actually continue that thing with Tyrant Man, but considering the lack of any of that, and the little time remaining...)
...Well, if you don't wish to fight... I'd recommend you shut up and get lost. We don't need the situation to get more complicated because of idiots who wish to run their mouths. Especially if they're unwilling to fight to keep their point.
...
.Yes, I suppose by doing this, I only delay the inevitable .I have knowledge that two of you have a plan to end the UKR
What? I only want to temporarily stun Kilroy to address the real threat.
How do you know of our plan? The entire reason I blinded myself was to prevent becoming an unwilling spy.
.Then get it over with .Time's wasting .There was never to be peace anyways
Well well...what do we have here?
Hey Quin.
Yes Master?
...
I can't keep living in this illusion anymore.
?
I know that they'll speak of a vessel.
Who will speak of what, master?
I know who you are, Quin.
...
I know your a fragment of **********. I know your destined to infect me and use this body as a host. You've planned this from the beginning, right? Just get it over with.
...
...
Who spoiled the fun?
Whoever it is...I'll have to thank them for making this so much easier.
