Papa...
....
You'll be okay, Papa... I promise....
I'd recommend leaving him, young lord... for his sake.
But... he's... after that fight, he could be really hurt! He needs help!
You speak of a man who has bathed in hot lava. A little nap is nothing to him. He'll be fine... At least, that's what I would have liked to say.
Do you know what his boorishness has longed for the most all this time?
. ...
W-well.... yeah? He wanted to kidnap Peach... so they would be together. And be one happy family.
For a time. But as of late, that had changed.
?
You are correct that he it has been his goal to be with the Princess... and, even until now, this has been his objective.... but what's really been driving your father is the very same man he's lost to for so many years.
Mario...
It showed in his methods. He was willing to destroy everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom as a last resort. He tried to manipulate Mario by using his memories with the Princess against her.... it's true I assisted these things, but these were his ideas.
Losing in spite of that...
Will he be alright?
When his defeat sinks in, we'll only remind him of his failures... it's best to do as I said and give him space for now...
A serious tick does nothing to bother an elephant, much less fell it. All I have to say regarding you is this...
...I couldn't care less with what you've already collected. Feel free to take advantage as per my whim. However... should you try and stop me, so much as even get in the way.... you will regret it massively. "Data."*
I simply wanted to make that clear.
It truly does "suck to be me".... to be the Elite of the Endowed, the Ace of the Adonises, and the Incomparable amongst even the Intellectuals, all simultaneously. If I believed in such childish superstitions, I would call it a curse..
Of course, it's back to mundane routine... toying with that third-rate a while longer would have been more fun. But of course, he had to spoil it by being so insignificant.
True enough... honestly, the sight of such inferiority made my pure blood boil.... I lost my composure for a moment. No matter.
Why should I be? I opened up to her. Tried to make amends with her. And like the unsophisticated brute she is, she brushed me aside... to put my advancements to waste... what astonishing sin.
Well said. Only I could have structured such so immaculately.... now, then. Business awaits.
Are you ok, Mr. Sonic?
Could be better. I don't get why it didn't work...
I BELIEVE SCOURGE CLEARLY STATED THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE SAME TRICK WAS PULLED ON HIM BEFORE.
Wait, Scourge is with that Coda guy? ...Wait, you knew that plan was going to fail, and you didn't warn me sooner!?

What, THESE backup?


And you wanna know the funniest thing? That turtle guy? He just joined today. His first day on the team, and he BLEW IT! Talk about HILARIOUS!
...Oh. And you wanna know how they were gonna beat me? They were gonna use THIS.
This device was designed to cancel out all the Chaos Energy that radiates from the Anarchy Beryl I'm using, FORCING me back to my base form. I'd be forced to face the biggest- and ONLY- flaw of this form regardless of my refusal to power down manually.
And then... I'd be forced to use THIS as a last resort.
I'd use this little "power-up" to regain my strength for one last bout... And ya know, maybe it could've worked... Because the only way you'd be able to stop me THEN is by having to KILL me. Something that I know well enough that you would NEVER do, Blue.
...But at the cost of becoming Coda's little puppet? I don't think so!
...Really, I should thank you and that bone-wielding friend of yours. I'd never even KNOWN that Coda was just using us if you didn't blurt out about how that Coda Corruption stuff grants him the ability to control us.
And if there's one thing I hate... It's being told what to do. That's why I was never a fan of this whole "Coda Syndicate" thing to begin with.
And when I went to dispose of the stuff, that's when I saw those three discussing the entire plan in full... so I listened, and when they were done talking, I knocked 'em all out and tied them up so that they couldn't carry it out.
In summary... I've heard EVERYTHING. And I'm tired of Coda treating me like his little puppet. So I'M taking control, as a real king should!
More like a tyrant.
Oh, please... A tyrant is just a king who REFUSES to be a pushover.
Well, if you don't like people ordering you around, then why did you join in the first place? Surely, it can't just be to get back at Sonic... especially if what you're saying's true, he's not even YOUR Sonic.
That's true; Even if I did feel like beating THIS Sonic down is enough- Which it's not, but it's certainly close enough-, I could've just done my own revenge scheme. Hell, if that were the case, I probably would've picked this fight much sooner.
...But there's ANOTHER reason why I joined with Coda... Something that I wanted JUST as much, if not moreso, than revenge...
...Power.
Now, now, Mr. Chomper. To call one a nobody isn't a very nice thing, now is it?
Indeed, it would seem that the curtain has fallen once again for the great Koopa King. Another tale of woes for him... and wahoos for the portly plumber.
But what a grand show it was! It had action! It had suspense! It had our heroes and villain in a battle unlike that which you've never seen before! Oh, how I'd hate to have been the one to miss it!
...But, oh, unlike you... I DID see it. Every last breathtaking second. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!
...In case you have missed all the subtle hints I've given... I am indeed speaking to you, the reader of this post. How captivating, isn't it?
That Super Scourge was already such a menace before... Oh, how I wonder how Sonic and his little friends are going to stop him now?
...Of course, I kid; Since those events have already passed, I already know the answer to that. But I won't spoil the show.~
Oh, and let's not forget how CRORQ Neo seems to be on it's last leg... Or, should I say last jet? Something tells me we might see the end for the supercomputer before too long... But what that'll mean for sad old Dr. Rozner, we'll just have to wait and see.
...I know what you're possibly thinking. "But mysterious figure who I shall not name out of respect for the plot," you might be saying, "how could you possibly know all of this?"
Well, that answer lies in how I was able to see the fight between the plumbers and the King of Koopas...
...I've been watching everything. After all, you can't truly enjoy a show from just watching only specific parts.
...But, I digress; As I said, the curtain has fallen on the Koopa King... It's only a matter of time before it rises again.
...Oh, no, no, no. I'm not talking about right away. This is much too soon. It takes proper preparation to get a show ready for its grand unveiling... Or so he taught me.
I'll give Mario and his friends their moment of reprieve... But when the time is right... I'll deliver a show that they'll never soon forget.
Okay, I've got one more idea as to how we're gonna hit this guy.
4 drag, 2 mag!
Aight, y'all, let's wrap this
up!
BEAM ATTACK!
That's literally why I'm here; to BE a problem! And like I said, this “demon” he's talking about isn't gonna pose ANY threat whatsoever!
Never mind, guess THIS thing's going next.
My name is Elfilin. I saw what's been going on with those Waddle Dees, and I really wanted to help, but...
...But I was too weak to do anything. In the end, all I could do was run away until they eventually caught me, too.
Poy poyo poyo poy. Poyo, poyo poy poy poyoyo, poy poyo poy poy poyo- (That's when I came along. And now, I plan on figuring out where and why they're taking those Waddle Dees, and maybe even figure out why those vortexes showed up in the first pla-)
...Poyo. Poy poyo poyo... (...Sorry. Not sure why I did that...)
Poyo, poyo poyo. Poyoyo poy poyo, poyo poy poyo poyo. (Anyways, I should get going. If I find any more Waddle Dees, I'll be sure to send them your way.)
...Poyo. Poy poyo poy poyo poyo? (...I'm sorry. Did you say someone was looking for me?)
...What's Kirby doing here?
Not sure... But he might be of good help for all of this, that's for sure.
...That angelic creature... They seem to be very powerful. No doubt the leader of this bunch.
You think we could take him?
I'm not too sure... If they're able to take on someone in one of the Ego states, then they certainly won't be easy to beat, let alone restrain.
...Actually, I've been thinking... Maybe we don't have to capture them?
Are you crazy!? The entire reason we're trying to stop them is because they're a danger to the entire world! From what we've been told, these creatures want nothing more but to spread suffering to others, and you're saying that we should just let them do as they please!?
I don't know... Whatever demon they're talking about, these guys seem very concerned about it and its goals. And besides, Cyber-Lucina's proof enough that not all Agony creatures are bad... Maybe these guys aren't really the bad guys?
...
...That remains to be seen.
GOT THE ALIEN. GOT THE INTRUDER.
You...YOU MONSTER!!!
...I don't care what I must do, Otto, I will not give in.
Besides, I've lost everything now, haven't I?!
THE ALIEN IS FALSE.
No...NO...NO-
*GASP*
*huff* *huff*
...
...
He has MORE of those!?
You see, Anarchy Beryls are not only powerful, but they are also plentiful. The only problem is, they only exist in my dimension of Moebius... and they're being safeguarded by those worthless Suppression Squad* TRAITORS. So, Coda offered to send some robots into my old home dimension and steal some Beryls for me to use, and in exchange, I offered him my services, and permission for him to use a Beryl for himself.
...But since he already delivered to me what I want... I have no further reason to do as he says.
So, now it's time to raise the question... If ONE Anarchy Beryl can make me Super... What will I be able to achieve with SEVEN of them?
Of course, the way things are going, I don't even need more power to destroy you all...
...I just figure that, as a special little treat for coming this far... I'd give you all a taste of TRUE suffering.
(This pressure... I can barely even move...!)
What on earth is that!?
It appears that the green hedgehog that intercepted our nemeses has awoken an even greater power than before...
Ugh, of course. And here I thought that these rodents couldn't possibly be even more problematic...
...So, this is what Scourge is capable of... Fascinating, to say the least.
...As disappointing as it is to have another abandon the group...
...I can't say that I'm disappointed with the results.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YES. This power... This power is unlike ANYTHING I've ever felt before! And I can even feel it growing more and more as the time passes...
...This settles it. With this Hyper form... I am no longer a king...
...I am a GOD!
...Why do I feel like I'm being mocked?
Okay, couple more seconds - hold on, not yet, the adhesive hasn't held!
Sorry!
So, you weren't here with the rest of us?
...no, I wasn't. I landed in some sort of...weird forest, and then those birds showed up, and...well, Kirby got here not long after I did.
Well, I saw you before the little crawlers showed up...gotta thank you, really, those little featherheads had every corner covered.
Yeah. And I didn't...
Don't let get to you, buddy. Nobody can be everywhere at once, that's why we work together!
Uh, we might have a problem.
What is it?
This middle spot, right here. Not sure how we're gonna hold it in place when you're over there and I'm over here...
Wow! Thanks a bunch, Bandanna! Where'd you even learn to do that?
I dunno, first time I can remember using it...when was it the Lor Starcutter showed up on Pop Star*?
That long?! Wow, you got a talent, buddy!

Guess that's my cue!
...thank you.

You think your stick weapon thing's so special, huh?!
Wait, what are you-
I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU, I WAS TALKING TO THE ONE WITH THE SPEAR!
Yo.C.Tsune | HP: 80%% DoT (Nanites)
HA! Pathetic muscleheads; All of you do yourselves a favor and stand down, won'tcha? There's only ONE of you I have plans on killing today...!
You're not getting away with this...!
You all have a death wish, don't you? Well, FINE BY ME!
Aah!
!!!
Oh, come ON! If you're not gonna just lay down and die, at least try to make this more interesting for me!
This guy... He's an absolute MONSTER.
〈...You know, I actually knew this Sandshrew who was able to take away my Shining form once. Think you could do the same?〉
You know, that's not a bad idea... I certainly remember you doing that to me, too, Knucklehead.* Think you could pull it off again?
...I was only able to do that because of my connection to the Master Emerald, and its link to the Chaos Emeralds. Even if these "Anarchy Beryls" are an alternate universe form of the Chaos Emeralds, I don't know for sure if the same principles will even apply here...
...And even if I could, that would require for me to get in close... And there's no way in hell he'll give us the chance.
His power just keeps rising like crazy! The Miles Electric can't even keep up with his growing power! If this keeps up, he might just become too powerful!
...
...Maybe that's exactly what we need.
...
It could be worse saias....You could be fighting alongside Limstella
You dare bring harm to the Loptyr bloodline? I'll crush you to pieces!
