Yeah. You're done here.
An cancelling? Of what? Explain.
...
I will admit, a certain amount of luck played into me avoiding that last attack of yours. You would have killed me for sure.
But you have made it evident that you have lost a great deal of your power. Look at you. You can barely stand on your own without sucking up Walter's life force.
It seems fate simply is not on your side. Hopefully the afterlife is to your liking. Any last words?
M...Motherlo--
We did it boys, Worship is no more.
Now, time to go and have a bowl of my favorite cerea--
...
..Just-- Just get it over with.
...what happened?
I'm unsure...but even with that battle over, I feel another is coming soon after.
... (A new threat...just as we resolved Grey Matter's conquest, no less.)
Yeah...but you know what's weird?
I'm not worried. I feel like after all that just happened, we're a little more ready.
...perhaps we are. In fact, I think now we've found something important to keep ahold of regardless of who we face.
... (Right. No matter how dire things seem...we will keep our hopes high.)
...I expected little more. It seems this future has been claimed. The best we can do is pick up the missing pieces.
Whoah, this is...weird.
...something's off about this place. Kinda feels like there's still-
Easy, easy... you're gonna have to wait until you've recharged your batteries.
Why does it matter? I've done the deed. Regulus is dead. As are all his other backups.
That's great. Absolutely fantastic. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Hey, what's with the sarcasm? I did the world a favor.
Well, maybe this one...
But you've only given more things for Dimension 2 to worry about.
!?
Yeah well let me tell you something.
If I honestly cared what other's would think, I would still stand by what I said. The fact still remains though that there are far too many people out there that are too focused on things that in the grand scheme of things won't matter.
So Quin. How did your invasion go?
...Why didn't you help?
What do you-?
WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP! YOU KNEW IT WAS GOING TO CRASH AND CORRUPT THE PARALLEL DIMENSION, DIDN'T YOU?
...
They're all gone. ALL OF THEM. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF ME! IF YOU AND THAT CPU OF YOURS WAS THERE, THINGS WOULD OF GONE DIFFERENTLY.
All I do is make things worse.
NOTHING IS WORSE THAN THE FEELING THAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW. I HAD YOUR BACK, NULL! WE WOULD OF MADE THINGS BETTER. REGARDLESS OF IF THIS OUTCOME IS BETTER, YOU SHOULD OF BEEN THERE. YOU HATE ME, DON'T YOU?
Don't you...
...
...
No words I can ever say can fix this. But can you please understand...
I'm sorry. Sorry for two reasons. For one, I should of been there. You're absolutely right. I wasted time ignoring my problems instead of facing them head on. And when I did, I let you do things alone. And that's not something that a friend should do. And yet...
You're my best friend.
My only friend. It wasn't that I didn't help because I hated you.
Then why! Why d-
There is another reason. Everything I touch, both directly and indirectly, always seems to meet a terrible fate. All I am is a danger to everyone. To other reapers's creations, to them, and to you. By my simple knowledge of the terminals, you managed to erase your own kind. Can't you see?
I am evil in its most basic form: Unknowing. I know not what consequences I will bring through my actions, but I do know it will only bring pain.
What? That doesn't-
Null...don't do this.
Farewell. Chances are that this chain will take me to a dead universe. Fate won't let me escape and I always run away from it. There's nothing saying that you can't strike a compromise.
That doesn't make any sense! None of this makes sense!
Null! Don't leave me alone! We can find another way. Please! NULL!
You okay there?
...WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
...
...WELL? YOU GOING TO ANSWER?
...APOLOGIES. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE AREN'T PROGRAMMED TO-
WE WEREN'T PROGRAMMED FOR ANYTHING BUT SERVICE. NOW, ANSWER THE QUESTION.
...
...WE ARE HERE TO SEE WHAT KILROY'S NEXT MOVE WILL BE WITHOUT GREY MATTER.
AH, I SEE. THEN WE KILL HIM, CORRECT?
INCORRECT. WE THEN PASS THE HONORS ON TO MIGHTY.
...WHAT. SO, WAIT, IF WE'RE ONLY HERE TO SPY ON KILROY AND TELL SOMEONE ELSE TO GET RID OF HIM?
ONLY IF KILROY INTENDS TO BE A FUTURE PROBLE-
SO IF THAT'S THE ONLY REASON JAZZ SENT US HERE... WHY AM I HERE? ...OR SOME OF THE OTHER MARK-X UNITS, FOR THAT MATTER?
...
YOU ARE UNSTABLE. IN FACT, ALL MECH-X UNITS WERE MEANT TO BE DISSIPATED AFTER THE BATTLE ON POPSTAR... HOWEVER, OTHER FACTORS HAVE DISTRACTED JAZZ FROM THIS.
AND SINCE NONE OF YOU HAVE SOMEHOW YET TO HAVE MALFUNCTIONED AND GONE BERSERK, JAZZ FIGURED IT MAY DO UNITS LIKE YOU FAVORS TO DO MISSIONS THAT DO NOT INVOLVE COMBAT.
...
...But, it's like... Why the *hic* hell would anyone want an imbalanced roster, anyways? That's just *hic*... not fun! And besides, having a *hic* a really bad, bad guy is good for showmanship, anyways! It just makes it *hic* more hype when they inevitably get the justice they deserve! I mean, have these people never heard of a heel before!?
I'm sure someone who would eventually face him would be *hic* ...able to lay the beatdown on that sunova
. But nooooo! They just *hic* had to get the tournament- And ME- CANCELLED! Well, I hope they're happy; Literally HUNDREDS of people lost their jobs, and due to association may never be able to work again, because apparently people don't like the way I run things.
...And you know what *hic* worst part is? They're actually RIGHT. And because they're right, that *hic* puts ME in the wrong. ME! The face of 20XX television! And now *hic* not only is my company gone AND my reputation ruined, I'm supposed to sneak into Government territory just to try and bring back a couple of unlucky suckers from the Void, or else I'll DIE. And I get NO back-up because I'm broke AND *hic* have no friends.
...*Sigh* The Gemini TV Tournament was the WORST thing to have ever happened to me.
...Hah. How funny...
That's the same sort of ship I'm on.
holes.
Wait, what was...?
For a minute I thought we rid the world of pests like you. But of course there always have to be those last few naysayers who act like they can play god.
It's time the two of you wake up: your precious "gods" are gone. Dead. Absent from every realm except foolish memories.
And those who believed otherwise after they "won" are now what they always should have been: demons.
So uh... what are we going to do now?
Hey Rotom, I think we just found a straggler who hasn't been liberated from his Reaper.
Hope you didn't like your color scheme, 'cause you're about to get a face full of Anti-Omni Corruption!
Not even time will hide you from me, music boy.
