Honestly, he couldn't have picked a more obvious place. The only possible way anyone could possibly repair one of Wily's Fortresses- let alone a lesser known one- to its former glory- and beyond- without knowing the schematics... Must have used something powerful to WILL it into being.
I've been watching all of the actions of Beta Shadow and his alternates between when Kirby killed all of the escaped Dead Zone villains*** and my initial comeback****.
Besides... I like to think of myself as a Jewel enthusiast.
Greetings. You must be that violet-colored Beta Devil, aren't you?
..."Beta Devil"... Hmph. Long past are the days when I could be compared to the powers of the Anti-Omni Meme incarnated.
But I shall admit... When he left, he left me a changed man. (And I swear to Matt, if any of you take that the wrong way I will destroy you.) At the end of the day, he was Beta Shadow's evil side, not I. And now being separate from Beta Shadow AND Beta Devil...
...It has left me Neutral.
...Dramatic much?
(there is no text here, leave mortal)
(I should be putting my time into better use, but I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right around here...)
!
Just what the hell is going...Dear god.
(My master, is it time...) Hissss...
(To eradicate all of these inferior beings?)
Hell, yeah! Kill all these bastards dead. And when you're done...
...We'll take our sweet time picking P-Type over there apart.
...Well.
I think I know just how to start this week.
...So, this is the new you? Just dye your hair Phantom Ruby Pink and move the purple to a cape?
Hey, if I am going to differentiate myself from Beta Devil, why not do so in style?
One moment.
...So what exactly did that do?
Simple; I created a mystic veil around the City Blocks Prototype is at currently. It causes a mental block to anyone who isn't a RedBomber character that prevents them from interfering. It'll keep a certain individual from sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, whether Walter would've permitted such or not.
...So, you've gone "neutral", you say. I assume this means that you also won't be joining my Beta Team counter group.
No. As a matter of fact, I won't.
Well, this has once again been a waist of time. Best be on my way, the-
I'm going to overtake it, and make it MINE.
...Pardo-
Listen well and listen good. If we're going to be on a team, then I get to be the one in charge. I'M the one who's going to be calling the shots.
We will assemble the rest of our team. We will crush Beta Shadow and HIS rag-tag group.
...And amid this sea of mortal men... Good and evil alike shall see who stands at the top of the food chain.
Welcome, welcome! It's really, truly, nice to meetcha!
I'm not playing games. Who are you and what do you think you're doing?
Who am I? Well, you can call me Dracon Basilix. I think it has a nice name to it, and it's much more original than what I previously went by. As for what I'm doing...






















...
Conducting an experiment.
...Hm. Truth be told, Worship, I had no correlation with whatever is going on... But the thing is, neither does HighTower, or even Brash Crew. Nor did they had any correlation with the MKII battle. But Walter let them intervene anyways. And that's the problem.
...But if this is the way you wish to run things, then so be it. I have no power over you.
...But when you or Walter slips up, and HighTower inevitably finds a way to ruin your plot? Know then that you have lost every right to come crying to me.
Hey, just what's your dea--
Uh... what?
*ROAR* (What, do I look familiar?)
Well, sorta... Almost like a certain potted plant I've met.
But that's not the point. Who are you and what's your business with me?
Who I am isn't important. What is is that I've been recruited by a certain friend** to relieve you of your status as "living".
And just who is this person?
I'm afraid that's classified information, Mr. Bogard.
...Phi Doppelganger? Hm... the clones of McAfee Industries* caused quite the trouble for the heroes... But then again, it was likely because there weren't many heroes previously.
...My relations towards McAfee Industries is rather... complicated. But, perhaps he could be a welcoming addi-
...The hell is this sensation...?
...I see. So he has grown stronger.
(This-a feeling... What IS-a this?)
...I'm not the only one who's sensing this, right?
Great. The one thing I do get to be aware of, and I still don't know what it means.
Now's not the time, Beta.
...
...What in the world...?
(The hell...?)
(...Huh. This is new to me.)
What was that!? Is this the result of the Chaos becoming unbalanced?
No... This is something different.
Whatever it is, I have a bad feeling about it.
...What in the name of the gods is going on?
My guess, in all honesty? Trouble. Lots of it.
...Hey, boss! We found the fortress we were looking for-
...Jazz?
...
...As I have predicted. Had Beta Shadow simply finished the job when he had the chance, back at the Alleyway, perhaps such a moment could've been prevented.
...Well, now. This should be interesting.
...You know. As much as I hate you... It's all because of you that I have become this powerful. So I guess a thank you is in order.
(The hell is this power...!?)
Hey, just what's your dea--
Uh... what?
*ROAR* (What, do I look familiar?)
Well, sorta... Almost like a certain potted plant I've met.
But that's not the point. Who are you and what's your business with me?
*ROAR* (Who I am isn't important. What is is that I've been recruited by a certain friend** to relieve you of your status as "living".)
And just who is this person?
*ROAR* (I'm afraid that's classified information, Mr. Bogard.)
Kill who--
No one! Wahahah, Mao, what a great story you told me!
...
...Sorry about that. Wario cannot under any circumstance know of this event's existence. He'll be like, "Oh, Waluigi, what're ya tryin' to do, get me in trouble with Master Hand?".
Anyways, Steve? Yeah, I've hired a group of people to keep tabs on his little "staying place" at the moment. Once I give him the signal, it'll be lights out for him, Alex, and the rest of all of those cubed curs.
The Wahfioso is coming all together. And there'll be nothing in it's way.
Alright, Devil. What power is this, and how did you obtain it!?
...What power? Why, my friend... It's the impurest of all evil. As for how... Well, aside from the fact that I haven't been just sitting on my ass the whole entire arc, that's just the difference between you and I.
You- as well as all other Reapers- are merely human beings, trying to play the role of a god... While I am the strength of a god, separated from the body. All without the pathetic strengths of beliefs, personality, emotions... Instead, I AM FREE TO CREATE MY OWN!
I can obtain any sort of power I desire... All because that is EXACTLY what I am: POWER UNRESTRAINED. Compared to me, especially now, you are NOTHING!
...I am not restrained by that lazy, miserable failure Robbie Rotten, nor am I by Shaggy, the Anti-Omni Meme, the fool who now calls himself "Theta Mephisto"...
...And sure as hell, not by YOU.
Th-this- *Cough* ...This... is... bullsh.....
...Hm. But it appears I must digress... I had not expected this form to trump you this much. I expected much more out of you.
No, no. This simply won't do at all. Sure, I want you dead... But if you are incapable of fighting back in the slightest, then it just isn't satisfying. I would prefer to kill my ultimate rival thinking he actually has a CHANCE, simply so I can joyfully CRUSH his hopes.
...Tell you what. I'm going to send you back to your little Pizzeria. From there, you can have all the preparation time you desire.
Just be weary of what'll happen when you next lose, my dear counterpart... Because this is the only second chance I shall grant you.
