Alright! I did it! I really did it!
Indeed... And I must say, I am rather impressed.
Gee, thanks! I'll admit, it's strange how Beta and the others don't seem to recognize me, but-
...Wait... Who are you?
...Consider me a friend. More specifically, one who is rather... intrigued by your potential... Potential that seems to have been discarded, all for the sake of a more "standalone" approach.
I... Don't think I understand what you mean.
Oh, nevermind that. I suppose what I mean to say is... How would you like to be a part of a little... Adventure of mine?
Wow! Not only did I win a fun tournament, but I also get to go on an adventure with a new friend? That's great! I'll just go find Beta, and-
That won't be necessary. Now, then... If you're going to come with me, you're going to need some... Adjustments.




...Whew! That was fun! ...You know, maybe I judged the Absurd Roleplay a bit too quickly. Maybe I should go back there at some poi-
Hm?
That's strange... Is that a meme? A cursed meme? What on Earth is it doing he-
Woah! That's quite some power... Maybe I shouldn't mess with this...
...Then again, if this falls into the wrong hands... Maybe there's no harm in holding onto it.
Yeah... No harm indeed.
Heheheh... I'll admit. I knew from the start travelling to this point of time to possess Beta Shadow before he found the Anti-Omni Meme would've left me with less power than I would've liked.
But who would've thought that having less power... Would grant me the chance to gain more power than I could ever anticipate?
...
Indeed... Much like how I was created, it appears that the energy from the Anti-Omni Meme of which I emanate has the ability to draw out the inner evils of others, while also putting them under my control.
I believe I'll call the phenomenon... Anti-Omni Corruption.
...I think it's high time to return to the present. Unfortunately, while these three would be excellent assets... These three, and this whole world known as DA-1-C will have been long gone in the present. But, that is no issue to me.
Beta Devil, I’ve come to inform you: I have located the first GRAND STAR aboard an airship.
Ah, King K. Rool, excellent timing. I am about done with this world...
ULTRA GEMS OBTAINED. MISSION COMPLETE.
Okay, team, let's go and really show the world what we can do!
Heh... That sure put a wrench in the doc’s plans.
Still... Where did these “Ultra Gems” come from? Could they have truly been hidden on Earth for so long? Or, could they be...?
...Hm... Perhaps Dr. Light’ll find an answer... But for now, I return to the path I’ve chosen.
Sometimes, I wonder... What awaits me at the end of this path? ...Perhaps I’ll never know until I reach it...
...So, Beta Devil wasn't kidding... This world- the Discorded Adventures universe- was doomed to fall into expiration.
So much for that "gift" he gave us... In the end, we barely got to use it.
I wouldn't say that, Bass. After all, even if this world is doomed to fall...
...There are still many, MANY others.
Dr. Light, I did it! I won the tournament, and got the Ultra Gems!
You did? That’s incredible! Good job, Roll! Now, let’s see if we can figure out where they came from, and how we can use them to benefit the world...
Actually, I was thinking... Since I’ve done such a good job, maybe I can get an upgrade like Rock’s?
...Hm, I dunno... Maybe I’ll consider it after we’re done studying the gems.
Sounds fine to me! Let’s get to work!
...It’s been so long since I’ve last entered one of these... I forgot how fun it was to fight for fun rather than to save the world...
...I cannot rest now. I need to help my past self...
...I heard that Ninja Ghost of all people were gathering us all together... Something about a “Beta Devil” in an “Absurd Roleplay”? ...Regardless, I should head over there to-
“Beta Devil”, you say...?
Sorry, but we cannot let you or those OTHER fools get to him. But thanks for the warning... We’ll make this quick.
R-Mega Man!? What are... Why are you-
(...No... This isn’t you. It couldn’t possibly be. Something’s controlling you... Could it be that “Beta Devil” Ninja Ghost was talking about...?)
You cannot stop me, Mega. I have to help my past self, for the sake of the future!
Future? Don’t be so foolish. Our master has informed us that this world HAS no future! And once we’re done with you, you won’t have one, either. Nor will those pathetic worms you desire to protect!
(No future...? Does that mean that this world is doomed for expiration?)
...Even if that’s the case... Then I will not break the promise I made for myself. I will help carve out a better future for my other self, and stop you from reaching the others...

Stage 2:
Stage 3: 


Well. These Gems are finally in safe hands... though, I'm surprised so many people went out of their way to try and obtain them.
This isn't the real end, is it? More and more people will come out looking for them. It'll be a while before this thing blows over...
.....? (So... what do we do?)
I think the answer's more than obvious... we'll take the fight to them. Just like we have since day one.
I don't want peace! I want Problems! Always!
