Yeah, I could pop that door open, no problem.
...This isn't-a-good. We have to-a-stop him before he takes-a-the entire town down with him!
(What are we supposed to do? If you haven't noticed, he's practically gone.)
But he'll be back. In the meantime, we'd better prepare to stop him before he does any more harm.
When this "Boom Boom" decides it's time to drop down... He will be stopped by the ultimate lifeform.
Yeah!
That-a-creep won't know what-a-hit him!
Everyone, get-a-ready!
Uh... Wa--
--rio. File name "Alter-ego". Wario is the greedy, portly rival and antithesis to Mario "Jumpman" Mario. He boasts above average physical strength, though not to the same caliber as, say, Donkey Kong, and subpar speed. Of course, his primary weakness is his immense ego and lust for greed. To compensate, he has a variety of different variants and powerups to give himself the edge, some of them purely based on reacting.
Though this would prove of very little difference in a fight, he has one transformation that dwarfs all others:


As such, I've enacted a contingency that will, at least for the time being, prevent him from transforming. During their last encounter, I had Somatic tag Wario with a nanotech device that has sent and embedded a mental signal to the neuron, leaving a posthypnotic suggestion that he really can't transform, and as such, his body is to react accordingly. Of course, even if the device is discarded now, the effect will remain the same.
This is merely an example of one of the more complex contingencies. Most only require at least one step if not more.
Well, he may grow more powerful. He may be even able to bring out a hint of that power... But he will not transform.
Of course, that would change if he found something such as this...
During an encounter from a while ago, I had used one of these... Chaos Emeralds... of which hold similar power to our world's own artifacts. But a true genius is never without plan. For you see, Sometal never had the real Chaos Emerald. Only a fake, whereas the real one was empowering him from afar.
I'll bet they still believe they won and retrieved the Emerald! What fools they are! Not to worry though... because I have masked this Emerald's energy with a cloaking device that will prevent it from being sensed or showing up on any paltry devices. Or, moreover, at all.
Calm yourself, my DIC Entertainment counterpart! Don't you see that this is a breakthrough in the making?
Breakthrough? What's so inportant about some stupid gemstone?
Soon, my green-pigmented friends, we'll have so many of these we'll be unstoppable!
Nonsense. I am not of the belief that produce duplicates of a mere trinket will be of use to me.
Well, I, Black Shadow, am of the belief that you are in for a surprise.
Hmph! (You know, I don't feel all that diff--)
...
Wow! (Woah. That was... Wow.)
Do you see? Ladies, Gentlemen... The tables are turned to our favor.
I am aware of your concern. I am only saying that we cannot risk losing it to the very same ravenous dogs you mentioned. But in the mean time... I believe I have a suitable replacement.
I've already supplied a power source inside of it. This will allow you to teleport and get the pieces freely. Be very careful.
Hmph! Who needs careful! This'll be a cinch!
No need. I'll just bring my troop with me.































I presume we will be using your submarine?
...
Well I was waitin' for you but might as well stand in places and be silent because nothing happens . _ .
Whew. Though a black cat got your tongue!
Like fluffy lambs to the slaught-
I've found you at last Null! I don't know how you managed to hide so long, but I ensure you I dreamed of this moment.
This is where your reign of terror and my torment ends!
...What the?
...
The number you are trying to call is not reachable. Have a nice day.
So you were a virus all along!
Virus detected. Deploying countermeasures.
Like him? He's known as Experimental Antimalware Navi-Mark I, or Ean for short. Based upon the instruction guide I found, he's built to, among other thingd, place a zone on lockdown, preventing anyone from teleporting or escaping! In other words, you've got one life as your source code can't travel to a new body. Use it wisely.
...
What's the matter, got nothing to say?
It's always some new parlor trick. First, spears, then scythes, now monstrosities. Who are you trying to impress, the people reading this?
...
...
...
Trying to heal huh? Can you guess why that's not working either?
