Did you really think I would challenge you without a plan in mind, first? I've been preparing for you the moment you crawled your way out of Hell.
I KNEW you wouldn't treat me like a threat. You'd underestimate me. You ALWAYS do. And that's what I was reliant on.
This is... impossible... You... You can't...
You're right, Devil. I CAN'T go Ultra Instinct. But in my research of Chaos Zone's history, I have come to learn some things about Ultra and Berserk Instinct.


Knowing this, I have developed a technology that replicates that aura and applied it to myself. As a countermeasure against YOU, knowing fully well that you would NEVER waste your "Ikari" form on someone like me.
...Of course, I should clarify that this is NOT the real Ultra Instinct in any shape or form. This... "Instinctual Aura", as I will call it, does not give me the same benefits as the real deal.
It DOES, however, give me the ability to hurt YOU. And that's what matters, at least to me.
Now, then... Are we going to behave?
...
...Fine. I'll leave them alone... For now.
...I think they're done. What do we need to know?
OUUGH!!
Bandanna, are you all right?!
I...I'm fine, I think.
You're seriously hurt. For your own safety, we are going to finish this together.
*rgh* ...it seems it's time to use my ultimate weapon...
The chip I used to fuse the other Hyper Limiteds...
...the Sigma Chip!
Yes, containing the power of Sigma himself, I can bring my power to new heights!!
Wh...no! This was never meant to happen!
My...mind...era...sing...
You're wasting your time with these things. I have my hypotheses on what you're planning.
I MUST THANK SUCH EVOLUTION FOR MY OWN REVIVAL, AFTER ALL.
...A potted plant? that's your best attempt to defeat m-
I've got a earth dragon who needs dealing with!
Hey, there. What did I miss?
...A lot, I would presume.
Well, some big robot- which actually turned out to be a small robot in a big armor- tried to invade the town, only for Lucemon- one of the Agony Creatures- and Beta Devil to deal with it.
And now, we're going to follow them to talk about something regarding Agony.
...Why...?
Because apparently according to Lucemon, we have a bigger problem than Agony right now. One that is after the Omni King.
Of course there is.
But are we sure we can even trust him?
Well, Lucemon did want to stop Mega Titan from invading the town, and he seems just about as concerned with this threat as we are, so I suppose it's a "our goals align" sort-of thing. We'll have to see about afterwards, but for now, cooperation is needed.
I was talking about Beta Devil.
Oh, that. Don't worry about him; I've got my point across with him.
Ohhh... So you used that, then. Dang, I kinda wish I could've seen that. I can almost imagine the look on his face.
Actually, I took a screenshot of my POV the moment I gutpunched him. I'll send it over to you when I have the chance.
〈Hey, so, a bit out of the loop here... What exactly is this "Agony" stuff, anyway?〉
Kid, if we were to explain the whole story to you, we'd be here for hours.
Alright, Lucemon... What is it that you need to tell us?
Don't bother trying to explain yourself. I've been tasked with keeping watch around here...
...And lemme tell you: I was itching for SOMETHING to happen.
You think this is gonna be the last you'll see of me!? I'm gonna be back, and I'll have an even COOLER set of armor than the one you busted up! Mark my words, Angel Face, you ain’t seen SH-

Cute.
...So, basically, we're dealing with a demon that's too stubborn to stay down for good.
Sound familiar?
Look, it's clear to me that sealing this thing over and over again isn't going to do nothing. And I see no conceivable way that this is going to be another one of those "redeemable villains" like King II or Zalgo...
...So, I'd say our best option... Is to exterminate this thing once and for all.
Have you seriously not payed any attention at all? Even if we kill it, not even the Omni-King could destroy its spirit.
Oh, please. That was the old Omni King.
...Uh...
Poyo.〈Zeno-sama.〉
Right, Zeno. (I'm not calling him Zeno-sama.)
Anyways, Kirby is supposed to be stronger, right? That's an advantage that we have that those "Neo Spacians" don't.
That's Kirby's potential power. Kirby doesn't know how to actually tap into that, yet.
So we teach him to do that, dumb
.
And then, once Kirby knows how to go full Omni King Mode, we unleash him on the creature, and boom! Problem solved.
Even if we could, there's no way we'd have enough time to do that. And even then, we don't know if that would even work. It's clear that, even if the demon were to still have its power, it's still not stronger than the Omni-King, so it's clearly not an issue of power.
Well, it's like I said: Even if we just seal it away again, it's only going to free itself and be a problem again. We need a permanent solution. So unless one of you have any suggestions, having Kirby destroy it is our best option.
No, you can't challenge it to a rap battle.
Hey. Can we talk for a moment?
I'm not hurt physically, but that did take a blow to my pride. I really was the conceited one there. XD...
...."It's better this way"... So THAT was what he meant.
He was able to instantly take a look at me and notice something that not even I realized...
My battle prowess, my instincts, my timing... all of them are far weaker than before. If I was the same as my glory days... I would have punished them mercilessly for every action they bothered to take.
This won't do. No, no, no. Not at all.... I won't be of any use like this. I must hone and sharpen my abilities, polishing them to their most absolute. The Perfect Soldier won't be seen fighting like a fool....
...That's what I'd like to say. But too little too late... isn't that right?
You tell me.
L0L! Don't act as if you don't know precisely you that I'm talking about.... You saw me wipe the floor with those scrublords... and while I'm certain they didn't look very strong against myself... they would be very, VERY, worthy opponents for most surface-dwellers.
....
....And then? I am not "most surface-dwellers" in the first place. To compare me to such would bring me great shame.
...A shame you could rival with your death. Should you refuse me a method to leave this... place.
I will never become obsolete. And I will reclaim my title as Galaxy's Strongest.
Tsk, tsk! I know what you're thinking, Shadwari. You have no idea how many traps I could have laid around here. Do you really want to find out the hard way and miss the first chance you've gotten in so long!?
.....
How do we-a-know you're the-a-real Koopenstein? It's always possible you're a fake!
You don't. And frankly speaking, I don't care if you believe it's me or not. I'm not here for your sake.
Three hundred coins, Tailigee.
?
I told you he wouldn't-a-lose any weight from when we last saw him! That beer belly is as ripe as ever!
Pffft!
Somari...!
What!? For all the-a-Koopniks he's created, isn't it a tad strange he's never-a-bothered to make his own treadmill?
Hahahahah! |
Heh.
Somari!
What!?
No, it's quite alright. Laughter is the best medicine, as said often... and I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect some form of this from my own nemesis.
However, I wonder... if you two will be laughing the same way once you find out what happened to Yoshles!?


What's wrong? Somari? Tailigee? Neither of you are looking so jovial anymore...
Or perhaps... you're finally ready to take this seriously.
I'm sorry if this sounds a bit presumptuous, but I can't help but notice how nervous you seem to be recently, and I know it's at least in part because of him...
...But, if I may ask... Is all this Agony stuff starting to get a bit much for you?
...Well, that's an unoriginal name.
Ninja Man. Sigma Virus. Circuit. Shadow Chomper.
I retract my statement.
Well, Aqua. Seeing as you now have the floor, care to explain what your plan is to handle this Agony Demon?
No. Bad boy. We don't bite. Down, boy.
Now, roll over.
Now, FETCH.
This is it then huh? We go in, we gather as many people as we can, we trample those shape headed losers, and things go back to normal, right?
Heh...They won't know what hit them.
Let's go!
We'll show those wannabe gods the strength of us heroes!
Well, im not gonna waste my glorious life way at the bottom of a cliff! come on!
-I hereby sentence you to death for your crimes of treason. His Majesty will not be seeing you, today or ever.
W-what?! What are you talking about, Lord Arvis?!
Heh... You are only realizing now? You are far too naïve, Sigurd. Need I remind you that you and your father still sought to usurp the throne and plotted against the crown? Nothing has changed. It is my duty to exact justice upon you, in the name of my wife, Princess Deirdre. I trust you understand, Sigurd.
P-Princess Deirdre?! That... No, it can't be...
Ah, of course. You've never met, correct? Very well. I suppose an introduction would be a fair parting gift before your demise. Come, Deirdre! Greet our guests!
Wait, is this the-
Indeed, its the battle of belhalla, But I have a feeling this is about to go much different than what was in the history books back at the order, you see-
Deirdre, allow me to introduce you to Sigurd: the spawn of your father's murderer, Byron. I trust you have some choice words for him?
Hands off my husband.
Belhalla army! I demand you to stand down!
Whoever "sent us home" clearly didn't care about what happened once we got there, they just wanted us gone.
...you know, there's probably an obvious "computer deactivate iguana" joke i could be making, but i wanna try to be more original with this sort of thing.

QUIT! SWOOCING! OUTTA! THE! WAY! OF! MY! BOMBS!!
I think I'll go with "no thanks" on that one.

...I mean, it's very confusing...but with what I was finding out when I met Cyber-Lucina...
...
...I've...I've known people who would just use others because of...
...of what they are.
And Cyber-Lucina...she seems like she wants to do her own thing, but I'm worried about Lucina too, and...
...I just wish that one of them can be safe. I really wish it could be both.
But now there's...him, there's the demon, there's...I...
...I just wanted to help people who seemed trapped, but I...don't feel safe around this anymore.
i don't know all. i have truly met nothing.
The knowledge gathers here
Knowledge made of ideas
Ideas can spare the dead
Ideas can welcome those hard to understand
Ideas can shun those not wanted
Ideas can push away those they cannot create an existence for
If you don't want to listen, I won't hold back!
