The dude came out of nowhere, okay!? There wasn't exactly time to be clever!
Well! I'd best be on my waaaaay~! Adios, señor Scale!
See you, vaguely familiar person.
So what do you wanna do, sweetcheecheecheecheecherry?
You got... cameras around. Right?
Around the globe. I see a lot of stuff.
So logically, you would have footage of my brother and those weirdos, right?
You're not worried about Delta?
Oh, I definitely am. But he's his own person. He's made his own decisions, and I should respect them.
SOUL, on the other hand, abandoned ME and left me HERE. With YOU.
So you want to watch over him out of gratitude?
Yeah... Let's go with that.
If you wanna see what's going on with him so much, then sure. I'll lead the way.
...I know it was at least one of you.
Okay, you know there's nobody else here either! So, it had to be either one of you!
Then who did? Because I swear... they will PAY for ruining my ice cream!
Damn... if that's just one of the guys on Butler's recruit list, then we may be in for a hell of a lot more of a fight than I expected.
Eh. He wasn't all that.
No, he wasn't. He was more. If not for the Reverse Module that weakened him and Mech-tenant that kept him immobilized, we would be goners.
...
...

(Was he just... toying with me? Or what?)
What matters is you guys won. And now that we've won, we can't let Rainbow here pull a Butler and get away.
He's gone, isn't he?
... (Oh.)
Right.
We'll perform an interrogation. If that doesn't work, we'll simply pluck the memories out of him.
I would have thought that even Butler of all people would have been smarter than to send one person alone against sev-
!? (DAD!?)
Oh, what now!?
Ah,
.
"Zalgo"...I think I've heard of him, yes. Don't think I've seen him in person...
Really now? Nothing about the "Dark Omniverse"? I don't trust you to handle it well, but that sure seems like the kind of thing someone so obsessed with light would try and mess with. Not that I ever cared what he said, but-
Okay, lemme get this straight.
So, like, if I had to classify you as something, it'd be "Darkness". And whatever the heck that means, it means more than just shadowy attacks, it's like your body or something.
...but that was even before the Empty Core, you said?
Yeah, before that wimpy demon corrupted everything.
Okay, hold on, stop right there.
What's the problem? Seems clear to me.
...Look, I wasn't there for much of the whole Darkside fiasco, and I don't think anyone else I knew was either. That said, I checked things over...
...and all that Empty Core did was make people look purple. Zalgo brainwashed them himself. When did you leave the Darksides again?
When the Empty Core did its job. I don't think Zalgo even noticed me.
...I don't get it. Then where did any of what you're saying about darkness come from?
I-
...
...I'm thinking this goes beyond Zalgo.
I'll uh...I'll go check that, I guess.
Thank you...
Know your place.
... HOW DARE HE!
!
Woah!
Is off-guard the only way these people can do anything against anyone!?
The moment I catch one of them, they're TOD meat.
Well. Gentlemen...
Yes, I'm fine after being attacked. Thank you all for your concern. Any eyes on culprits?
Scanners aren't picking up anything. In other words, I can't see crap.
Either they're not within range...
Or we're just too fast for you to track.
Damn it to hell!
More!
Ugh, this is getting dumb!
Agreed.
Nrgh!
Kyaaa!
You picked the wrong day to mess with me!
AN OIL TANKER FOR YOU.
Time to get serious.
Don't underestimate me.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
W-wait, what's going on? How am I alive?! WHAT IS THIS!?!?
(Wait what's he mean by how he's alive? Isn't he supposed to be a regular guy or something?)
Al...right then...?
!!!
One down, two more to go.
(Crap! We've just gotten here and now TWO of us are already beaten!...)
Not if we can help it!
Dammit, no!
Stop him from getting to Rainbow Man!
Gotcha!
I don't doubt you guys are seriously strong... but I do doubt that almost all of you have been fighting all this time unscathed.
Gh... (It's getting...hot... all of the sudden... Hyperswitch getting hard to maintain...)
You particularly seem pretty worn down... he must've hit you pre-tty hard, huh? Not to mention that stat booster of yours has one fatal weakness which you can't cover up against me.
(Damn it! What's going on!?)
Leave him alone!
Back off.
(Oh, no!)
HAAAAH!
You're overheating from using that trick of yours, aren't you? I can sense your internal change in temperature.
Every time we touch, I'm not only adding my own heat to stop you from freezing your body, but also siphoning the precious cold from you. Neat trick, eh?
(
!!!!!)
I don't quite know who you are... but I'd like to think if circumstances were different, we could have been pals...
Ugh... 'd rather... die.
Heal them, Harmony.
Forgive me if you'll find my hands are currently full at the moment.
You're more than just "busy" right now.
Thank you, Mr. Ultra Man Deluxe.
Ugh...
DADDY, NO! NOT MY DIARY~!
...
...
...Tell anyone of this and your bodies will never be found.
FBI, OPEN UP!
Yeah! Thought you could hide, didn't 'cha!?
...

Stop. We can't afford to make rash decisions.
Didn't you just punch a flaming barrier?
You may have actually raised a point if I couldn't heal without issue. Anyway, now all four of them are up and about, we need to think carefully. The odds are against us by a lot, now. Our numbers advantage is now heavily thinned.
Fine. So what's our little "Strategy", then?
You've played Overwatch?
No. I refuse to associate myself with anything of Blizzard's.
Paladins?
Pala-what, now?
Team Fortress 2?
Of course I have! Who hasn't!? It's Valve's cult classic!
Then you know the deadliest class in the game.
WHO THE--
...Heh. Alright. I see where your head's at. About time, anyway. Let's do this thing.
Good fight! Well, you're obviously down for the count, so should we just end it now or do I have to be rude and knock you out?
