...That could have gone a lot better.
You're telling me, dude. You almost killed me.
Well, we all try to kill each other at one point.
...Fair enough. It looks like all we can do until either of us wakes up is... talk.
Be honest. This grandiose "job" of yours... Do you really... enjoy it? Is this really something you can see yourself being fulfilled by?
...Huh. No one's asked me that before.
Answer the damn question.
I don't do what I do because I like doing it. I do it because it's the right thing to do. But sometimes... I wonder if there's a point to it all.
The status quo doesn't seem to change. And being truthful... I don't feel anything from it anymore. There are times where I question whether what I do or not is really necessary... Or if I just need to put more faith in the people on earth.
But no one... aside from maybe Worship... seems to *understand* that. Or understand me. That doubt in the back of my mind... it lingers every day. There are even moments where I can't help but ask myself if I really am "Walter"... or just a fragment of what I used to be.
......Hmmm.
WHAT!? THAT ACCURSED RING DECLARES YOU MOST FURIOUS!?
BLASPHEMY! YOU MAY HAVE POWER... BUT YOU ARE STILL RUBBISH! OUTMATCHED BY ONE WITH MIGHT ABOVE ALL OTHERS! FOR I AM THE WILY OMEGA! AND I! AM...
ETERNAL!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
... (Dad has... he has always managed to come back no matter what hit him. He'll come back again... r-right? )
...
...Again. We couldn't stop it this time. It happened again.
...
!? (Wh... what's wrong with you guys! It's okay! It's not over! If he were here, how do you think he would look at you guys right now?
... (If he...)
... (No...)
NO! I WON'T ACCEPT IT!
Kid, what are you saying!?
I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE HOW BAD MKII IS! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES WE GET HURT!! I DON'T CARE IF THE WORLD EXPLODES!
I WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN MY DAD! EVEN IF HE LOSES!
As much as it pisses me off... is there even anything we can do about this situation?
The only other option we have is to wait for ourselves to lay down and let ourselves die... have a little hope, will you?
Wait a sec... Hope...
...
Oh, cool! Cool!
I see...
...So where exactly DID you come from, anyways?
What happened to them...?
I'm not sure... But I don't think I like it.
Hey, guys? Not that I don't like the new looks- not a bad shade of blue from you, Ray- but why exactly are you two-
I SENSE HEAVY HOSTILITY FROM THEM. BE CAREFUL WHEN APPROACHING.
What do you-
!
Whew! That was a close one...
Thanks for the heads up!
NATURALLY.
Call it a hunch, but I don't think they're as happy to see us as we are them.
That much is apparent. If they really want to rumble, then it seems we've got not much of a choice.
You guys keep them busy. I'll try to figure out what's going on...
IT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO FIGHT THESE TWO. PLEASE REMAIN WITH TAILS UNTIL WE HAVE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.
Oh... Well, if you say so, Mr. Gemerl...
...And why exactly can't you order them to stop?
Right... I think I'll pass.
Well, it ain't gonna be me. I'm not going to just stop what I'm doing so I could bother ol' Missing Number for a mass of code to fix YOUR mess. Not that he'd listen to me, anyways.
Ah, just waitin' for my cue to take on ol' blue and his pals.
Listen... No. I am not doing anything. And last I checked, "caring about this little situation"? THAT falls under "anything".
...Ah, whatever. Sometimes I wonder why I even JOINED these chumps.
...Then again, I suppose the benefits aren't half bad.
