Finally! I'm free! ...again
I still owe you nothing, what is your name, cowboy?
You ain't seem to be farin' much better than me, are ya?
Not particularly. I seem to be quite the worthy opponent, at least for myself.








.....
Well then. Looks like we're not gonna be bored, eh?
I grew able to maintain it at this rate with rigorous practice. It's dangerous, but as long as I'm focused, it should be no issue. And I... can kick it even further...!
There's... this... as well.
B-blast...!
This is quite boring... a whole week, yet it seems you don't have teh potential that you require to leave this dimension after all. A shame, indeed.
Don't... don't underestimate me. I'm... these are not my limitations!
ROTFL!...
Don't act coy. You've been nothing but a disappointment. I've been holding back more than you could imagine, and yet you can't so much as hit me a single time. Your movements are too predictable, and you simply lack the speed.
!?...
...As a matter of fact. You've changed my mind.... I don't want to be in any galaxy where YOU can be considered the strongest.
!!
It was so exruciatingly, mind-numbingly, boring watching you fail and fail and fail that I tapped into your mind and saw your memories. You're pathetic. I would have expected someone to have fought the Omni-King on several occasions to be a worthy opponent. But you're a sham. A fraud. Any legacy you think you have doesn't exist, Mr. "Aeon Hero".
So ye. I'm not quite sure the mortal realm is truly worth going for after all, especially not if it's the same one you inhabited... if I do, however... I'll make sure to correct my mistake by going after the other masked midget.... Or the blue jacketed warrior instead.
Well, then... that's more like it.
Die.
Not bad. Perhaps you aren't as much as a noob as I took you for!
YES! It's about time, already! Now come on!
Hmm!
HYAAAGH!
...
....ROTFL.
I don't. I just don't want such LESSER VILLAINS to get what they want.
And if you don't like to fight, then perhaps it'd be better if you both stayed out of this, because there's no way you're going to be handling ANY of this without having to fight at least ONCE.
...Actually, if this is how things will go with you around, perhaps it'd be better if you and Chase were to be on standby until we need you to join with the rest of those Agony creatures when we seal that demon away.
Which, I already explained to you everything you need to know outside of the plan. And just so you're not out of the loop, the plan is to gather every Agony Creature into one space while a small group goes to find this "Heaven Jewel", beat up the demon, and then seal it away once it's weak enough.
...And if you're going to be there for THAT... Then I suggest you take this "time off" to train YOURSELF at the very least. Because if this is how things are going to go with Note around, then it's clear to me that she will be a liability.
Speaking of liabilities... Synth. In the back of the main hall is the main workstation; It is code locked right now. The passcode to enter is "1996". Inside is a blue-haired girl attached to a high-class life support machine.
Pay close attention, this is VERY important: You have to take her somewhere far away from here WITHOUT disconnecting her from the machine. Take her to Ninja Ghost's old retirement home in the Legacy universe if you must, I don't care.
This is the SECOND Agony attack that happened here, and Lucina will likely DIE if she is removed from that machine for two seconds; And if we're going to lose Cyber-Lucina, anyways, I don't want to have been keeping her safe for NOTHING.
On it.
...You know, I don't think I want to be in this party anymore if THIS is the kind of person that's hosting it.
GOOD. Because as of now, this party is CANCELLED. Everyone, go home.
Man, I was having a good time, too, up until that beaver attack...
ME TOO.
Hey, everybody! Party continues at my crib!
...Doesn't he live in the dumpster behind Beta's pizzeria?
...Not sure if I really wanna know what happened out here. But, more importantly...
...How do I look?
Rrrh!
!?
It's been upwards of 8 hours since you passed out... and I have to sa--
This isn't over!!
Waitwaitwait!
?
Congratulations. You've passed. Gr8 work, m8. No h8.
.....
Attempting to toy with me!? Your claim was concise! The prerequisite was "a clean hit"!
Yes... and you indeed did get that.
...........I see nothing.
Take a closer look, little one.
My size is of a perfect standard!
I got a little bit careless, and so the air pressure of your last attack managed to make contact.
A scratch... no, not even that... and you have the audacity to pawn off victory in such cheap fashion?!
Make no such mistake, "Galacta Knight". If not for such a display, you might have been trapped in here for years.

The fact you did it without even realizing it in of itself is what makes it a telling performance. You are indeed, what can be called a true warrior.
.....
Therefore, unless you still have contentions... the requirement has likely been met. You may go. There's no use being stubborn about it.
...Then take me back to the universe I was in.
Very well. It shall be done.
And here we are.
Hmph...
I can tell there's futility in suggesting you abandon your goal of becoming Strongest. So, I shall leave you with some well-earned parting advice: The cause you have choose to take is painful, hopeless, and both physically as well as mentally excruciating. Be prepared for the most difficult times you have endeavored, and learn to do away with your pride... or die, painfully.
......
You aren't close to being where you wish to be now... but if you do make proper advancements... there is no doubt our paths shall cross again.
....Then... it shall be so.
So the puffball really did it after all... ain't that somethin', Smith?
Not exactly a good or a bad thing. We don't know if Galacta Knight will present problems, or the opposite. He helped out against Butlertype, but he solely seems to be working for his own agenda now. We should be wary of him... regardless of how delusional his goal of becoming "Galaxy's Strongest" is.
Maybe, maybe not. But you have to admit... things have been going pretty smoothly lately.
"Smoothly"?
You haven't noticed? Joe managed to come back, and finally beat Alastor. Somari and the gang got their closure with Koopenstein. Shake King seems to have learned his lesson, and while Galacta Knight isn't a real ally-- maybe there'll be use for him later.
I see what you mean. But it won't be long before more stuff hits the fan. It's probably better to keep an eye out for--
Is... is that Rambo?! Segata, too!?
Those look like the evil copies that Vaati used to make with his mirror! We gotta go!!
Nyuuh!
W-what the hell... how did you improve this much!?
I... could say the same to you, Rambo-san...
What the hell what's going on here!?
Don't it look obvious, sherlock?!
Arigatō gozaimasu.
You can arigawhatever by telling us why you're fightin' evil-yous.
We found the Dark Mirror, Cena. But before we cut preserve it, one thing led to another, and...
*sigh*... Just what we needed...
...Wait. if you guys got the Dark Mirror taken from you... then just where is the Mirror now?
♪ Trololololololololololul! Trololololul! ♪
I have to wonder if those stooges didn't think I'd find out dafaq they were doing. It makes little difference, though. This situation is of more convenient for me than anything else... Now, let's see...
....
Wawa.
Guess I'm not that good at getting my thoughts in order... shucks.
Oh, well. Besides that, I need to--
Eh?
Heya red how ya doi-
Who the hell is this guy?!
Take him yourselves. As of now, I am DONE with ANYTHING that has to do with Agony. The first time brought me a little humor, but this time it's brought me nothing but annoyances.
I'm gonna get a few Jazz Droids to protect the place instead; Synth should have taken Lucina somewhere much safer by now, so it's not like there's anything important to protect here anymore, anyways. I'm going to find something else to do that's more worth my time.
You got what you came here for. And unfortunately, NOTHING can be done to change the fate of every Agony Creature, Note included... Unless you WANT that demon to win.
Now if you excuse me, since I don't have any of my own, I'm going to try and see if I can't find any of the spare Jazz Droid Spawners.
...Why did my brother ever make that thing, anyways?
Well, it's not important... That is to say, he's not important. So, where do we go from here?
Your fancy arm cannon may fire bigger shots, but in both firing and flying, I've still got the speed advantage!
Fast or not, I'm able to keep up with Sonic; There's nothing you can do that's faster than I can rea-
You should learn to pay attention, fox boy!
Is this the best you've go-
And you think I'm the one not paying attention?
Laugh it up while you can, fox; You'll be ours for the taking before too long!
(...I will admit, however; He's certainly different from the kid I fought back then...)
Insolent pest...! Get down here and fight seriously!
Make me, you big bully!
(...That blue hedgehog... What is it about him that made this two-tailed rugrat so confident?)
(Grah... Focus, XV! Confident or not, he's still just a little brat!)
(And you will NOT lose to him AGAIN!)
I dunno, it just--
Hi.
....Hi?
My name is Walter. Walter Oliver! Nice to meet ya. What's your name?
Oh, me? My name is also Walter Oli--
Heehee! As if I didn't already know what your name was, silly! I'm you!
Nuh uh! And you don't have to try and hit me out of nowhere, It's rude!
But I wanna! Fighting is fun! Don't you think so, too?!
Yeah! Really, really funHEY!
Why aren't you fighting back? We're the same, right? You want this, too. C'mon!
But, but--
But what!?
*prowler noise*

Fine. I dunno what just happened, but if you wanted to square off, you should have just asked.
Heeheehee. See? I knew you'd come around eventually, so c'mon! Let's not waste anymore time!
This should keep things interesting for a bit >:D. I've already overstayed my welcome enough, but for a last scheme...
A full trip around the earth will do. Who knows how many people will have encountered that?
Now things will be truly intruiging... for now, at least.
That DEFINITELY got you nettled.
By the way, full disclosure, only reason I entered that weird portal in the first place was because I was trying to absorb a giant robot mosquito into my systems so I could later reuse its material to agument my abilities, but then the portal sucked it in and I decided to go after it.
...It makes far more sense in context.
Wha...!? How'd you-
Your dodging pattern turned predictable, that's how.
AAAGGGH GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET THIS OBSIDIAN SLUDGE OFF MY ARMS THIS ASAP RIGHT NOW
...So this is what it's like to have free will.
Sch...! So all that training really wasn't for nothin', huh?
Guhh!
That makes one of 'em down for the count. You two?
Cowards... None of you man enough to take me on, one on one?
Ain't nobody got time for that.
At last, this battle has ended. Without the sufficient numbers on our side, this would have taken far more effort.
The worst of our problems are still ahead of us. We've no idea where the Dark Mirror is now.... somehow. I did a full search on this area, ain't jack squat.
Guess we screwed up, then... ...I guess we should go back to base and be on the lookout for clues, then. Seems like the only thing we can do... is go back to base and be on the lookout for clues, then.
Fine by me. You guys can explain on the way.
!?
...Surprised?
Who, exactly... might you be?
A pathetic, little wench. With all the power I could ask for... and none of the courage to use it.
I'm not sure as to what kind of elaborate prank this is.... but it was definitely done in poor taste.
Why do you refuse to acknowledge me now? We were just conversing not a minute ago. Is it such a bad thing now that I've been given form?
If you really are me... then prove it.
Luckily for yourself, you're the only person in this world I'd oblige. I assure you in advanced... I'm far more up to par than our bio-clones.
(He knows.)
Wouldn't be sure of something like that just yet, Smith.
Yeah? And why not?
Wanna repeat what you said before about things "going smoothly", John?
Hindsight is 20/20.
It was a...surprise, seeing you here now sharena. I didn't expect for you to-
die? well, neither did I, but....
well, its not like it matters, anything I was doing anyone else could've done much better, and in the moment where it matters i...
Besides, You have been fighting an uphill battle against these strange, polyhedron headed people, Their delusions of control and godhood are....interesting to say the least, but there's no denying the strength they possess,
Come now, both of you, I have an idea that may just be able to tip the battle back in your favour, While I'm sure mighty can handle himself, It wouldn't be right to stand by idly when I can lend a hand now.
You have my face... but are you really just as capable as I am?
That's what we're about to find out, heheheh! This is gonna be good!
!
!
HEHEHEAHAHAHAHA! HEHAHAHA--
Th-that answers my question, I guess... But!
So much, fun, so much fun! This is what I've been waiting for!
You aren't so bad yourself... I guess I judged you too early.
Looks like it's fifty-fifty odds... which means they'll either draw... or it'll come down to luck.
In theory, sure.
'In theory'? What's that supposed to mean?
It is best to simply proceed watching...
Wawa.
