...And I can't ever let that happen again. I've been pushed around for far too long to not do something about it.
...It's not a thought I relish, but I'll have to leave for a while. I know you guys'll have things under control. Junior, you're the leader.
Just what's more important to you, anyway? Getting stronger or staying with your team-- your friends?
If I don't get stronger, I won't have any friends to protect. I believe that has been made abundantly clear.
Alright, enough laying low. We've gotta get back to the blimp.
Already? Gee, what's wrong, boss?
I have a bad feeling something's coming. And we're not about to stay here and find out what.
Hmm. About time.
Alright, enough screwing around. It's time to end this!
Couldn't agree more.
FALCON...
AAAAAAA---
PUNCH!
Aw, nertz.
YES!
C'mon!
Hmph...
...Show me your moves!
...Well, that was a rather impolite gesture, Foreman Spike. you could have at least knocked before entering.
Are y'crazy!? I'm just lucky to've made it out of that there area alive!
Are you referring to your loss against the Mario Brothers?*
It just ain't right! How was I s'posed to know that danged ape** would want a piece of me too!?
That is simply catharsis for your carelessness. Now, if you'll excuse me, myself and a fellow man of science are quite busy at work discussing our next line of action.
Tch! What could be so important that you'd need'ta concentrate so much on!?
Is that really what you think?
I wouldn't take such so likely if I were you. Power Stars, Energy Elements, Chaos Emeralds, and Power Crystals-- The Mayhem Microlites*** were a treasure to bestow in their own right, but if we can imbue all of these artifacts into one-- It will unleash a power unrivaled by even the mightiest of all things!
Koopenstein... To wreak havoc upon this planet and conquer those dastadly heroes along side of you is a pleasure.
I concur... Doctor.
How does he even know where they are!?
Ugh, it's so boring! How long have we stayed in here?
Give or take, a few months! I've even been giving out free psychology appointments!
So that was why all those random voices kept popping in. Man... I wish I could have fun, but not at the expense of other people. But there's just nothing to do...
Have you ever thought of acquiring a hobby?
A hobby?
You won't know until you try!
...
...Ah, to heck with it. I don't have anything to gain from lying around here.
....*LE GASP*
What? Is something wrong?
YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!
Alright, somebody get me a mirror.
...What? What is this? What... happened to me?
No... No... Happiness is for the weak.I refuse to-- Hnnnghh--
I can't even get angry anymore? This can't be real. This has to be a bad dream.
It's not a dream, silly! This is real!
...
...Yeah. I guess it is.
Activate the Force Fields. When that has finished, send the dolls to humble this visitor for good, before another relocation. If all else fails... retrieve Seth.
It seems like I was wrong. Maybe I can find a way to have fun on this dirtball without going crazy after all.
*insert japanese dialogue here* (Hmph... It seems a true warrior has revealed himself at last. Though I sense that he is holding very much of his true power back.)
(Oliver, hmm? I have never heard of this individual before. How interesting.... It would look as though I have to confront him at a later date.)
...So, any particular reason for why we're back in the Void?
Because if you really think about it, the Void's the perfect training spot. Lots of sparring room, quiet and empty... And since there's no perception of time in here- in addition to expanding across all space and time- we basically have all the time we need to train here.
Oh, cool! Should we share this spot with anyone else?
HA! Letting others use this plane of non-existence to train! What a thought, ha ha ha!
Ha... No. Their minds would eventually snap like twigs. Only beings like us can handle being in the Void for extensive periods of time.
Huh. Explains why Orchestra didn't come... Where is he going to train, though?
Oh, he's smart enough to figure that out on his own.
Ah, by the way, I decided to invite some old friends of mine to join us.
Old friends? Who do you mean by-
Master Missingno.! We came as per your request!
Oh, yeah. Those guys. I was wondering where they were, actually.
...Actually, what happened to them when you died?**
Beats the hell outta me.
...So, wait. What exactly are we doing here?
...With Beta Devil gaining this new form of his... We'll need to make sure we have all cards on the table. And because of that... I need a certain something from here.
It was the BEST! I think I almost died but then Demyx pulled out his sitar, and there was water everywhere, and-
Okay, I think we get the picture.
...I assume Reverse Man's talking about you?
Yep. Just don't ask for a Q&A*, I don't have the time for that.
Konngara told me about idiots like you†!
Like, come on, getting squished because someone screamed like a cowboy too loud? Finding all that fancy shiny stuff just to die‡? I don't even think you're the real Sonic!
It's not about which one of us came first, Mack. It's about which one of us deserves the title.
So you're just proving I'm right, then?
Oh yeah, this guy... He was meant to be the Jazz of the original Discorded Adventures, right?
Yes, he was... But since there was already a Jazz in that universe*, I had to give him a new name...
...Computer. Activate Project: Synth.
PROJECT SYNTH: ONLINE.
...Good evening, Master Phantom.
...Huh. For a robot meant to be a successor to Jazz, I didn't think he'd be so... Polite.
Well, I did convert him into more of a service robot back when Legacy was a thing.
...Don't let such a factor fool you, though; Due to how... busy we became since then, I was never able to remove his combat features. He's still a capable fighter.
Capable of taking on Beta Devil?
...
...I don't know. But I'm willing to give it a shot.








You are attempting to invade Shadaloo territory. Leave at once of be restrained.
Who's the champ? I'm the champ. Who's the champ? I'm the cha--
I'm not taking autographs. Get lost.
Oh, no, we just saw you win that battle royale! That was... a strange win.
What happened there, by the way? I thought you were... normal.
Funny perception of 'normal', kid. I got lucky is all. Perhaps they were all having a bad day.
All other 19 competitors at once?
Of course! After all... They had to face me.
Now, If you'll kindly screw off, I've gotta dodge the paparazzi. Until then.
