(The boy is at a crossroads... He won't make any significant jumps in prowess If he does not learn to truly channel himself.)
(He will either become a warrior, enlightened by control... or a monster, consumed by rage. I wanted this to be settled far later... but it cannot be helped.)
A duel? What is the purpose of this?
You will quickly find out child. Now, if you've finished your nagging, feel free to come at me as you wish.
Hmph... your funeral!
(I see... after those repeated drills, his precision has gone up a level... but!)
(He's trying to... toy with me..!?)
If you want me to take this seriously, you know what you must do.
Rrgh!
RRRRRGH!
Your weapons should be used as an extension of yourself, foolish boy. Not an excuse to inflict pain.
YOU DARE TO CALL ME FOOLISH!!!!
No, I do not... a real dare is one with consequences.
Who ever heard of such a young boy with the movements of an old woman? Your movements are so linear, so stiff, that they bring me to tears.
DGH... TGHR... GHH!!!!
Yes, I concur.
You are extremely pathetic.
So, the plot synopsis is basically "Purple Guy bad, also there's a bunch of cliche negative energy going around infecting stuff and turning them evil", am I somewhere in the ballpark on that one?
Probably.
Okay, glad we're caught up somewhat.
Okay, so I found out why that guy was rampaging. Turns out this purple guy crammed something called Agony into the giant robot dinosaur, and they were both trying to murder this green-haired chick. Then somehow Purple Guy notices me and I retaliate, but he just guards against my assaault. Then this shiny dude yeets a bunch of nukes that were aimed at me back towards the ships that were firing said nukes, purple guy books it, shiny dude sends out a giant Cursola, and said Cursola proceeds to oneshot Mechagodzilla. Any questions?
agony, you say?
Yeah, apparently it's going around and causing chaos.
well, guess that's enough sightseeing, then.
time to remind these punks that remnant's a thing that exists.
...Okay, you do you, dude.
Agh!
YUUGEN-
Mack, Mack, I'm fine. I think. I don't know if it was from the past few fights, but that didn't kill me this time. I think.
Kh-h! What the...?
...
W-Weird..? Whaddaheck does she mean? Uh–
Wait… You mean EVIL, DON’T YOU?
Yes, ALL of us are EXTREMELY EVIL! Walter is EVIL i think, and al- all of the many old ones are quite evil as well, yes.
And here it is, what fuels my EVIL!
You’re listening to RD Radio! With your host, Sheep Man!
Now…due to uh…many, many requests by you loyal viewers, a surprise is gonna be coming your way around the 19th of November! Tune in at 11, you won’t want to miss this!
...Now, next up is an ol favorite of mine, had the idea for this while watching one of Strike Man’s baseball games.
Howdy. You’re…
...
So…you wanted to see me boss?
Ah there’s my number uno radio star! So…I bet you’ve been eager to figure out what that surprise I wanted you to tell everyone for the past couple of months.
Oh! …Uh yeah.
Well…let’s just say there’s gonna be a few changes coming around here.
C-changes?
Yup! Out with the ol, in with the new, the whole gist. In fact, I bet I could count what won’t change on one hand and what will on everyone else’s hands. Well…the ones left after this anyways.
I’ll lay it to you straight, since you’ve been with us for a while now. Our pledges and advertisement offers are plummeting, worst I’ve ever seen in a LONG while. That’s why…
I’m cutting your night show…and making it a day one!
...Wh-what?
That’s not all though. You member where we had you talk with the former president Walter, god bless his soul, a few months ago.
Um…yeah.
Well…turns out that was the best idea I ever had! Alot of people loved it which is why Gary is gonna be taking over your music section while you take on the news.
The news?!
Oh but not just that! Guest Stars, Politics, Call-In Trivia, Funny News, Heart-Gripping News, Podcasts, just about everything you can imagine and want to add…and more! Now…this took alot of strings to pull, our shareholders were quite literally pulling their hair. I mean, imagine them telling me, a robot in charge of a radio station literally called Robot Dreamland Radio, that putting a robot in charge of a talk-show was a terrible idea. I mean, they must have never heard of KBOX radio*!
So that’s the reason-
The reason why I had the whole thing kept under wraps? Yup. Didn’t want to disappoint ya if it didn’t go through. Course some blabbermouth had to tell everyone else, acting like he should have been the one but it’s fine. Judging from your expression of pure joy, I take it no one told you?
Nope. (Though I wish they did)
Excellent. Yup, I can see it now! Sheep’s voice in every car, every living room, every…well you get the picture.
Just think, little ol Banus and RDR is gonna shoot past the charts!
Oh…that’s…
great!
You bet. Here, got one more present for ya. Till the 19th, gonna give you paid leave. You gotta rest your radio voice after all.
Thank you! But wh-
Hup. Not another word. Don’t want your voice box to wear down now.
Oh of- Hup!
...Uh. If you're looking for a calendar photo shoot, it ain't here.
I kid. I kid. Now get the hell out.
WHAHAHA! I'm kiddin again! You should of seen the look on your face! What's the problem young lady?
But uh. Do try and make it quick. We got a bit of an emergency situation that makes this repair top priority.
Ja! Danke scheon, freund!
Spooky. Thy most evil ways surely know no limitations... OoooOooOoOoOoooO....
Whatever you say.... -except. "old" ones? Really? Aren't those proclaimed abominations just a bunch of fake mytho---
...
(Well, it's not my house. I'll just let that thing take care of it. Hell, it's probably some just some nobodies there to advertise there own business. No biggie...)
(But... maybe it's Master? I wouldn't put it past him to call. That's also fine...)
(...fine... until the green monster I'm facing tells her I ate his stuff, broke his property, and acted mean to it.... fine... fine...)
(If that wretch tattles on me my life is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
You sonofa-Imeandaughterofa-GHYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN!!
Yes! The weapon mastery! The agility! The raw power!
This is most indeed a spectacle most grand, as Rome should deserve forever!!!
I appreciate that you all agree!
I didn't say anything.
And yet you showed your approval even in silence!
〈Okay, Gil said the location was a few feet from...here?〉
...Huh.
Nrgh... those little pests...! I coulda gotten 'er if the other one wasn't in the way!
Ah, shaddup. I'd tear all four've 'em up if I went at it again.
...Tchhht. Whutever.
I hope this is a lesson to you... for your sake. I won't tolerate any haphazard slip-ups from you again.
On the contrary. I believe my expectations are very easy to meet... so long as you can actually do what's expected of you.
...Very well. I suppose I can vouch for you there. Thank you, Arpeggione... a quite reassuring statement from your behalf.
Eyup... just she wait.
That power... I've seen it befo-
Nice parlor trick.

Yer gonna wanna take that up with Ram Man. Just keep walking forward from this uh. Hole. And you should find a station. Ask for the tech department, I forget which district it's in but that info should be enough for them to put ya on the right train.
Just. Be careful. The building's really crowded right now...people seeking safety from the omniholes. Say what you will about the universe bein impossible to end...well...it's a lot easier to take lives.
