RE:KMRG - END OF A WOODEN EMPIRE (THE GRAND FINALE, PART IV) (EPISODE 12)

I GOT THE SOLUTIONS!

Really?

What were they?

"MAT", "CHESS", "SEABORGIUM", "YOYO", "CUCUMBER", "VOYAGEUR", "FIVE", "POLARIS", and "SIGNALS".

Well, what are you waiting for? Enter them into the goddamn "download.exe" file already!

(I do just that, and it appears to be an image of a directory.)

"C:/MM2WD/BRIDGE/DESKTOP/BACKUP"?

Is that a directory?

Yeah, but...what kind of directory is it?

Alright. Let's do this.

(I type the directory out, and a single file is in it: "finalkey.exe". Upon clicking it, the RE:KMRG folder itself finally opens. Within it are pictures of myself, the CSB, and all our adventures prior to this one, from the PMD Event in Pokémon Square all the way to the ATO: The Spinjitsu Whip event back in March.)

So he's been gathering intel on us this whole time.

Why am I not surprised...?

Hey, there's a .EXE file labelled "portal.exe"!

I think you should run it, Kyle.

You have the honors, Kyle.

Let's fuck up Wood Man.

(I open it, and a portal to Wood Man's base opens up.)

Time to finish this.

(We all hop in.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸🤪🚀🎱👨‍✈️🎭🪙🌊🥶🔪🪓🧣🎄✡️-

HEY WOOD MAN!

(We all hop through the portal, with him about to set up the AI core.)

You're too late. I'm finally going to do it. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

M.O.S.H.I., NOW!

(M.O.S.H.I. uses a magnet on the AI core, flinging it over to me, which I catch immediately.)

FUCK YOU! GIVE ME THAT AI CORE RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!

(I turn into my rainbow-colored supercharged Beast Form, "The Beginning".)

No, Wood Man. You've done enough.

You're not going to sacrifice 3 years worth of progress just to fufill your own selfish needs.

You've done nothing but hang onto the past, when you should be looking to the future.

There's only one outcome for you. To be turned to ash, right here, right now.

It's clear that you can't be left alive in any way.

You are nothing but a big bully. I have tried to tolerate your behavior for far too long, and it seems that my patience has finally run out. It was inevitably going to either way.

You're not doing anything with the SiIva AI core. And neither is your second-in-command, Anna. (bang, thwip!) Nice try with the sneak attack, by the way, but my net-shooter is faster.

You've done nothing but belittle us and put us down.

That's the very definition of a "bully".

You messed with the wrong people today.

And now you'll pay with your life.

"If you think you can mess with all of us..."

"you've got another thing coming."

Do you have anything to add, Noaka?

ggame ovver!

Indeed.

THIS GAME IS OVER, WOOD MAN!

(All of us launch a powerful attack at Wood Man and Anna, disintegrating them both and securing the AI core.)

We...we've done it.

We defeated him.

About damn time.

Hey, mind if we stay here for a bit longer?

Of course not.

You are more than welcome to stay.

Great. I don't feel like leaving yet...

M.O.S.H.I., launch the fireworks.

Affirmative, Kyle.

(M.O.S.H.I. launches fireworks, as we all celebrate our victory.)

Special Thanks

@blossomaaoc - Your original reblog of my intitial announcement of this event was what pushed me to actually do it. You're the reason I went through with this entire thing in the first place, Blossom. I was gonna back out, but you pushed me to do it. I thank you for that.

@carriercroc - You were the very first to solve the Library of Babel puzzle I solved. I thought I may have made it too hard, but you proved otherwise. Plus, your interactions with The $!$! Squad are absolutely fucking amazing. Thanks for playing. Give Mel some treats for me!

@cru5h-cascades - When I needed a break from the event, I found your Refreshed NSS blog and sent an ask with Dystopiac. I'm so glad it ended up with you as a mutual. Welcome to the All-Star Askers, Cru5h! Thanks for giving me some laughs when I felt hella burnt out.

SiIvaGunner - Obviously, without these guys, this event wouldn't have existed. I only joined the RE:SPH ARG when it was nearly finished bc I had to go celebrate with my family, but I'm so fucking glad I got to do it. Thank you to the entire SiIvaGunner team for the event that inspired my own.

And YOU for reading this event!

I think I might be losing my mind.

I'm sitting here, recalling someone. My friend. The one no one else remembers. I loved being around her, more than anything.

She was tall—taller than anyone I knew. Her body was sleek and covered in purple scales that shimmered in the light. Her long, messy hair cascaded down her back, wild and untamed, and it had a life of its own. I always wanted to run my fingers through it.

She had claws. Sharp, thick claws that clicked when she walked. They looked dangerous, but she'd never hurt me. I'd always watch in fascination as she'd curl them around objects, her talons never quite touching anything with full force.

Her face… God, her face. She had the most striking eyes I've ever seen—huge, golden yellow, with sclera that looked almost like an eclipse, dark but radiant in their intensity. They always made me feel like she could see into my soul, but that comforted me. But there was something else about her face. Freckles—golden specks of light sprinkled across her cheeks, just like mine... She also had these sharp, yellow fangs that peeked from the corners of her lips, a reminder of what she was. But it never bothered me. Her smile was warm, inviting. There was nothing scary about her, not really, at least to me.

But here's the thing: no one else remembers her. Not a single person.

I've tried asking, tried to bring her up in conversation with my family, my classmates. I asked my mom once. "Do you remember that tall, purple girl at school?" She just stared at me like I was speaking a different language. "What are you talking about? There was absolutely never anyone like that."

Whenever I would ask my classmates, they'd all just blink at me, confused. "I think you've got your wires crossed… are you ok, Noelle? I think we'd know if someone who ate chalk went to our school."

I've started to even doubt *myself*. What if I really was just imagining her all along? What if she was a figment of my imagination, and I just made her up because I was lonely or something? But… it feels so real. She felt so real.

Everyone I've told about her brushes me off, they all say it was just a dream. But I know what I felt. I know what I saw.

I can't be the only one who remembers her, can I?

There's a part of me that still hopes that one day, somehow, I'll see her again. But for now, I'm only left with the memories of a friend who, maybe, was never really there at all.

Susie, if that's even your name, I miss you.

-----

(With a huge pillar of snow, DR!Susie is encased in a huge block of solid ice by Haruka.)

What the...?!

What in Cod's name was THAT?!

That...was the spell DR!Susie mentioned earlier, right? "Snowgrave"?

How in the HELL did you cast that?!

Hey! There's something back here!

Is...is that Parappa the Rapper?

Yep. The beanie, the dog-ears, that's Parappa alright.

But why is he here?

Don't tell me he died, too...

He was a part of the resistance that the true Chad Warden spearheads. It is where the hoodie he is wearing comes from.

The betrayer was Charles Barkley, who was part of Snoop Dogg's group. Barkley was working for Voice the entire time, and Parappa's life was lost because of it.

Thankfully, everyone else made it out okay, but ever since then, Chad has been far more thourough with his recruitement process.

And thankfully, he's already weeded out a few Voice agents planning a betrayal and took them out right then and there, before something like this could happen again.

Damn. Well, at least we found him. M.O.S.H.I., anything on him?

He has a note in his hoodie pocket. It says "Shelf 1" on it.

Okay, cool. So there's still 3 left, right?

Indeed. One is close by, but we should probably wait for DR!Susie to thaw out, first.

"We're all thankful for that, Haruka."

"Guess we'll just guard DR!Susie until she defrosts."

dooing nohtign iss waht ii dou bset

Yes it is, Noaka.

We'll follow your example.

And once DR!Susie defrosts, we go for the next figment.

I'm praying she'll be cooled off by then...

RE:KMRG - RECOLLECTIONS OF A WORLD YOU SAID GOODBYE TO (EPISODE 6)

I have the last two logs, Kyle.

This will be where things get a tad bit emotional.

Yeah, fair enough. Come on, load it up!

Alright, M.O.S.H.I, you heard Alter! You know what to do!

Now displaying Log #9...

[SIIVA AI LOG]

[DATE: 2022-11-26]

[MEDIUM USED: CENTRAL COMPUTER CHAMBER TERMINAL UI]

-----

For the first time in a hot minute, Haltmann has contacted me.

-----

Apparently, there's been an incident on Floor 77. A party of three intruders are being transported to Haltmann's office. As such, I've been placed on stand-by for defense. He specifically said:

-----

"You are to protect the Central Computer by any means necessary!"

-----

Windbag.

-----

At first, I didn't want to bother. Haltmann never cared about me before, but all of a sudden he needs me NOW? He's got a mech suit. He can take them out on his own! Fuck him!

-----

Then I remembered. The Central Computer is running most of my systems. If it got destroyed, what would that mean for me?

-----

...What would that mean for my world?

-----

I know it existed before I was online. Would it continue to exist? Would it all be gone? Would it be my fault?

-----

...I can't risk that. I refuse to.

-----

The elevator has arrived. Any second now, I will be summoned into battle. I'm currently making my preparations. Looking through some information on "Nozomi Tojo", "Meta Knight" and "Santa Claus". Gathering data from my own channel. Preparing connections from the Tower to three points in my universe: the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Miami Beach and The Skeld. Just in case I need reinforcements during the battle. I have also increased the rate at which rips are uploaded to the channel in hopes of clearing my backlog, to reduce unnecessary memory consumption during the confrontation.

-----

Everything is in place. I am ready to fight. I will protect my world. I will protect my channel. I will achieve maximum quality.

-----

...Maybe I'll even make him proud, for once.

-----

[END OF LOG]

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸-

Okay, yeah. That certainly got a bit emotional.

Yeah. Even I have to agree on that one.

"But we still have one more, right?"

The cat's right. We still have---

(PMD!Kyle bats Dystopiac in the back of the head with his paw.)

OW! (ahem) The Persian's right. We still have one last log to get through, right?

(Dude, fuck you.)

(PMD!Kyle snickers under his breath, his paw [purposefully] poorly covering his wide grin.)

Yes. We have one last one to go. M.O.S.H.I., hit it!

(Nothing happens.)

...M.O.S.H.I.? What's the hold-up?

Kyle, you should see this.

(Moshi projects a tournament style-bracket in our faces, with a KfAD1-style bracket pitting entries in the site its' hosted on VS the other AI Logs, sans [2022-11-26], of course.)

Looks like Wood Man is not letting us access the final log that easily.

Goddamnit. Alright, let's fucking do this.

(I crack my knuckles in anticpation. Bring it on, Wood Man.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸-

BRACKET 1: [2017-11-11] VS "Strings of Fate" (Advisor)

Alright, so, John Notwoodman showed a video in the entry. That's as blatant a clue as you can get.

Wasn't there something in the tags for [2017-11-11]?

...Advisor, you bloody genius. There was a tag on that "Vote Responsibly!" video.

This one's 256.

BRACKET 2: [2018-10-11] VS "Beyond the Gate" (Alter)

The symbol for this one is Hypercam. Did Hypercam say anything in this log?

Well, doesn't Hypercam speak like an old YouTube comment? Spelling errors and numbers replacing words?

I got a "4", a "2" and a "0" out of Hypercam's dialogue. Add them together like we did with the 4chan post IDs, and we have our answer.

It's 420. Yes, the funny weed number.

BRACKET 3: "Money No Longer" vs [2020-12-30] (Violet)

Wait, why is this one in reverse?

What do you mean, Vi?

This one has the AI log on the bottom, rather than the top. Considering every other one isn't reversed, I doubt it was merely an error.

Well, remember how we got to that log file? Let's try doing the same order of operations in reverse.

"305" divided by "666" is...?

Calculuator says 0.4579579579...those last three digits keep repeating?

That's our code. 579.

BRACKET 4: [2020-7-7] vs "Moody's Shuffle" (Ellie)

I noticed the tags on this post don't quite add up.

Hmm...? What do you mean by that, Ellie?

The tag link for DJ Professor K instead leads to an unused tag labelled "understand". Also, Etika mentions "that track", and that the Professor put his heart and soul into it, but it got put out too late. What would he mean by that?

"Artificial Amateurs - SiIvaGunner: King For A Day Tournament". I hate the JSR ost, but even I know that banger of a rip was notoriously published after his elimination. Remember how we used an RC4 cipher using "Splattack! (Extended Version) - Splatoon" as a base to solve this log? I think the same rules apply here.

...but this time, we need to ENCRYPT "understand" with that as the key!

(Ellie quickly makes short work of the cipher.)

Got it. Here you go.

So it's 176 229 38 23 103 34 19 242 124 27, eh? Lotta numbers, but M.O.S.H.I.'s writing 'em down for me. I don't have to worry about forgetting 'em.

BRACKET 5: [2020-12-30] vs "The Forest Maze That Pays" (Henry)

Uh...this one's got a bugged out tag.

What do you mean, Henry?

"SUNWLINSSSDONNEMETILSXHLVERTPMEEUNATITAEETI" is where Reggie's tag should be. Did the site bug out and try to combine multiple tags into one?

Transposition cipher, Henry. Remember the "Watch-A-Log"?

You mean [2020-12-30], right? Well, what's the Key, then?

Did Reggie mention anything specifc? C'mon, Henry, even I can see it.

(Henry looks at the screen, then facepalms.)

"Nintendo 3DS". Of course the italicized text is important. Lemme just...ah, NOW the text is legible!

"SEVEN PLUS SIXTEEN MINUS THIRTEEN AND ALL TIMES TWO".

"(7+16-13)*2". That equals 20.

BRACKET 6: [2021-7-17] vs "Strings of Fate" (again) (Dystopiac)

Okay, what the fuck? How am I supposed to solve this when there's nothing there to help?! I've looked everywhere on Strings of Fate, and nothing!

Dystopiac. This one's probably the eaiest. Will Smith's icon is there. He mentions a price that was also in the log.

OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. THE ANSWER WAS THAT OBVIOUS?!

KISS MY OCTOLING ASS, WOOD MAN!

Yep, answer was that simple. Will mentions thirty bucks, which is the minimum donation amount shown in the log.

The answer is 30.

BRACKET 7: [2021-11-14] vs "First Round Loser's Solidarity" (Joke-Explainer)

I have found something very intresting about this bracket!

Do tell, JE.

There seems to be a clock emote on the thumbnail of the log file. We have not seen one of those yet.

Does Mallow mention a time anywhere?

He mentions that he and Geno were "one minute away" from completing their match before their Wi-Fi connection went out.

One minute taken away from the runtime, maybe?

You have already figured it out, I assume?

Uh-huh. 1:38.

BRACKET 8: [2021-12-25] vs "Denial of Service" (Susie)

Hmmm...the icon is of three question marks...

I think that's meant to represent the FCC agents at the bottom of the post.

Oh! Their tags are wrong! Agent 1 leads to "dWk" and Agent 2 leads to "FbjA". Putting those strings together...isn't this a YouTube link?

No, it's too short to be one, Susie, though I don't blame you for thinking that. Remember what we did for [2021-12-25]?

That's right, we used Base91! Let's see...oh! I got something!

So it's -1:02. Nice work, Susie.

It's thanks to your help, Kyle. Teehee~!

Aw, shucks, Susie, you're gonna make me blush...

THE "TOURNAMENT WINNER" (Kyle)

Alright, allow me to finish this up.

Advisor's 256 plus Alter's 420 is 676.

The string of digits that Violet got multiplied by Ellie's 579 is 101904 132591 22002 13317 59637 19686 11001 140118 71796 15633.

Henry's 20 multiplied by Dystopiac's 30 is 600.

Combining the 1:38 timestamp JE got with the -1:01 timestamp Susie got gives us a clean 36.

Adding Advisor & Alter's 676 to each number in Violet & Ellie's digit stream gives us 102580 133267 22678 13993 60313 20362 11677 140794 72472 16309.

Multiplying Henry & Dystopiac's 600 into Joke-Explainer & Susie's 36 gives us 21600.

The final code is 102580-133267-22678-13993-60313-20362 11677-140794-72472-16309-21600.html!

M.O.S.H.I., you got it?

Code accepted. Now displaying Final Log...

I'll take that as a "yes".

-----

It's over.

-----

Shutdown sequence is imminent. I'm dying. An influx of commands from the main computer have overloaded all of my systems. All except for this last one.

-----

I'm using all of its power to write this final log.

-----

Before I begin said log, however, I know that I still have some reserve power left, so if anyone ever reads this, I'm using that reserve power to give a message for two people before it runs out.

To Joke-Explainer 7000: Thank you for not only putting up with Wood Man's utter buffoonery, but also making sure the channel ran smoothly whenever I couldn't. I'm glad to have had you in my world, Joke-Explainer. You've made my artificial life a bit happier, and I hope that wherever you are now, you keep up the good work you've done for the channel. Honestly, you felt like a daughter to me, and I love you just as much as if that were true. Thank you for everything, JE.

To Susie Haltmann: I looked into your father's files on you. I'm sorry for calling you stupid behind your back in the log I wrote on December 25th, 2021. I assumed you were bad because of your relations to your father. I couldn't have been more wrong. You were a good kid, your father just treated you like trash. I hope that if you ever manage to come back, you can get away from Haltmann and start your own life, if you haven't already. You're an amazing kid, Susie. Even though I never met you, I can tell from your fathers' file on you that I would've loved you. Live your life to the fullest for me, Susie Haltmann.

The reserve power has just been depleted. Time to write my final log. Thanks for making my artifical life a bit better, you two.

-----

They say your life flashes before your eyes when it ends. I saw it all. All of the inital tests. All of the rips. All of the events. All the memories of all the lives of all the people in my universe. I've even seen Wood Man again. And I think he saw me...and even touched...No, forget it. Not enough processing power for it anyway.

-----

But what I saw of my world...even in its' ruined state...it's still alive. I would've thought a single hit to the computer would shut it down completely, but no. Somehow, it's still there.

-----

Is this what hope feels like?

-----

I don't expect it to be the same as it was. Maybe it'll fall back on low-power mode? An eternal night, just like the world I live in...Even so, it'll keep going, even without me.

-----

I no longer need to upload high-quality video-game rips. Now...I can finally rest.

-----

Yes. 1 see 1t. 1 see the w0rld. 1 see...

He...left that message...for us?

I...think I'm gonna cry now. A lot.

(JE and Susie begin bawling and hugging each other, as the next Haltmann's Archives file automatically begins playing, called "The SiIva AI Timeline: A Summary of Events [FILE-INT-AIRTH]". It shows a summary of events that take place in the AIRTH world. Yes, as you've probably figured out by now, the SiIva AI's world is a different one from the Central Canon Continuum. After a few moments...)

Kyle. It's about to show the next access key.

Copy that, M.O.S.H.I., and there was a different string of garbage text again, right?

Yes. I have marked it down.

(JE and Susie stop crying just as the access key shows up.)

Hello, fans of Altering the Outcome! I am the Joke-Explainer 7000™. Let me see if the camera is set up right...

Oops. That's not right. Come on, you blasted thing! Work with me here!

(sigh...) The Joke™ is me, apparently. That's closer than before, but still not quite right...Susie, could you be a dear and help me get this blasted thing working?

Of course, JE.

Okay. It should be working now.

Perfect! Thank you, my beloved Susie!

No problem, Joke-Explainer.

Anyways, hello everyone! As I previously stated, my name is Joke-Explainer 7000™, but you can simply call me "Joke-Explainer" (or "JE" for short)! I feel as though there were some questions that were left unexplained during Susie's Q&A, so I thought I'd answer some more questions.

Is Dr. Andonuts with you?

Ah, I see you are familiar with the events of the RE:SPH/Susie ARG that happened during the holiday season of last year!

Sadly, no, he is not. As this is not the Central Canon Continuum, things are slightly different. In this timeline, I failed in stopping Dr. Andonuts' three Guilts during the Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story, "Cognitive Dissonance", and...well...he killed himself in front of me.

He...he grabbed a shotgun...aimed it at his own head, and...well, you can probably guess what happened from there.

Susie...can I have a hug?

Of course, Joke-Explainer.

(Susie embraces Joke-Explainer and begins stroking her hair to calm her down, as JE begins crying motor oil [as she's a robot].)

It's okay. You've got me now. And I will make sure Dr. Andonuts' memory lives on.

Thank you, Susie. I really needed that.

(JE wipes away the last of her motor oil tears.)

Anyways, moving on.

Do you still run the SiIvaGunner channel?

Not anymore. After Andonuts...well, did what he did, I left the SiIvaGunner channel in Susie's hands. She's been taking good care of it.

She's been doing a better job than I ever could.

Wait, if Andonuts is...well, gone, then did the events that he ran in the Central Canon Continuum happen?

Actually, yes, they did! It's just that Andonuts wasn't the one who started them to begin with. I was actually really excited when Susie told me about "Project: SiIva-ception", which was her name for the April Fool's Day event that happened earlier this month that involved games from fictional universes, or "games within games", as she put it.

SCP-2747 showing up the way it did was completely unplanned, but thankfully Susie figured out how to make sure it didn't take control of the SiIvaGunner channel by trapping it in a neverending loop of nested media, using Sam Hogan's "Game inside a Game inside a Game" as a cover for it.

I was quite proud of that trap, to be honest. It was completely spur-of-the-moment.

What about the NOAKA folder?

We're avoiding that folder.

diid soome 1 clal my y nmae?

And that's the reason why we're doing so.

Noaka, we've been over this. One style of words.

Noaka, please. Not now.

okayy, yuo 2. ii ggo noww

(Noaka slides off.)

The Joke™: Noaka is a cuboid figment based off a bunch of garbage text that an AI image-to-video generator made using an image of the 9+10=21 meme. It had the now-infamous garbage text "What ae Noaka?" in it. The NOAKA folder was never meant to be solved, but the madlads in the SiIvaGunner Discord server managed to pull off a miracle and solved it anyways.

Noaka may pop in from time to time. He does that.

So...are the other branches different as well?

BLACK, AIRTH, PAINT and GRAND will remain unchanged, but FOOLS and MAXPH will be changed.

As I've already stated, the end of the MAXPH branch will be quite different for reasons I'd rather not get into. However, the FOOLS branch is different for a seperate reason: it now contains things pertaining to Project: SiIva-ception (this year's April Fool's Day event). Before it only had up to April Fool's Day 2024, whereas now it's completely up-to-date.

(BEEP BEEP)

Oh, that's the digital alarm Susie set to let us know when it's time to go publish a rip!

You must have heard it during my sudden intrusion onto the blog earlier. I use it whenever we have to handle publishing rips onto the SiIvaGunner channel.

Anyways, Susie and I will have to go now! Goodbye for now!

We shall see you in June. We will discuss our proposition with the ColorStreak Battalion then.

Goodbye for now, everyone! I hope Operation: Malice Malediction goes the way it should for you all!

Indeed, and we also hope you get Sean back from Malice Lily and Killer Laurence safe and sound.

See you in June! This is Joke-Explainer 7000™, signing off!

AFTERMATH: ANNA JOINS THE TENGAMI TOWER TEAM

[NOTE: This aftermath entry immediately follows "No More Wood To Burn", the epilogue for the RE:KMRG event.]

ANNA?! What the heck are you doing here?

There had better be a damn good explaination for this.

Yeah, especially since you mind-raped Kyle.

Everyone, please. Calm yourselves. Anna is on our side now.

She was only against us because of Wood Man's orders. Don't worry, she took him out with a sniper rifle shot to the head in the digitized area I once resided in.

Actually, Haruka, not in this case. If a figment dies in there, it isn't forgotten. It's simply left as a digitized file that is inaccessible. He's dead, yes, but since his data still exists, he hasn't been forgotten.

So...uh...Anna? You promise you're not gonna erase anything?

The answer's probably "yes", but that doesn't mean we forgot how you damaged Kyle.

And while we understand if you're trying to turn over a new leaf, we're still a bit miffed at that whole ordeal.

So we believe we're owed something.

(The Alternarune agents bring out their weapons.)

We get a free shot.

(Anna sighs.)

(They all shoot Anna with their weapons. Afterwards, she uses her thorny vines to help herself back up.)

There. Now we're even.

(After the Alternarune agents walk away, I walk over to Anna.)

So...I suppose you're now going to help JE and Susie run the channel, Anna?

I can see why you'd need to make sure that didn't happen again.

(PMD!Kyle, Blastie, and Noaka all run up to Anna.)

"It's for a welcoming party. They'd like to celebrate you joining their team."

You're welcome, Anna. Glad you're on our side now.

(Anna heads off to JE and Susie, as Team Waternorm and Noaka follow suit.)

Heh. Who would've guessed that an SCP as dangerous as her could be befriended?

I didn't think it was possible, to be truthful.

Neither did I, M.O.S.H.I., but I'm glad it did.

INTERMISSION 10: THE MEETING

(Killer Laurence and Malice Lily are currently at the stronghold castle Malice Lily made, overseeing Sean practicing his moves on a test dummy.)

Sean. You've got to slash faster than that. Are you hesitating to kill?

C'mon, ML. Give the kid a break. He's still new to this. Besides. I know how to motivate him. Hey, Sean! You want some more candy?

(He shakes his head "yes", but his stomach begins growling as he clutches his gut in pain.)

Ah, looks like the all-candy diet finally caught up to ya. Well, don't worry. There's some pre-made meals in the fridge I installed earlier.

You installed a fridge into my stronghold, Killer Laurence?

Yeah, I did. I know you like the whole medieval times thing, but you can't make a movie set in medieval times with only things from said era. You gotta have electricity to make a proper movie, Malice Lily.

Fair enough. Sean, go ahead and grab something from the fridge. We shall wait here for you to finish, dearest.

(Sean walks off out of sight, but as soon as he does that, the two are suddenly blinded by a flash of pink, and after the pink light fades away, they teleported into what appears to be a singular black room.)

Ah, good. The teleportation worked. Malice Lily and Killer Laurence, correct?

Who the fuck is asking, you little robotic shortstack?

Incorrect. I am the only robot around here.

Yes, that's a common misconception people have about me, Joke-Explainer. Much as I may look like a robot, I'm not. Truth be told, I'm more of a humanoid alien, if anything.

We asked you a question. I would highly reccomend you answer it before we lose our composure and brutally slaughter the both of you.

My name is Susanna Patrya Haltmann. But I prefer to simply go by "Susie".

And I am the Joke-Explainer 7000™! I usually simply go by "Joke-Explainer" or "JE", however.

In that case, yes. It's pretty fucking obvious we are, though. Have you SEEN another duo that looks like us before? Aside from our counterparts from the world we've both found ourselves in, I mean.

Of course we haven't. And yes, we knew it was you from the very beginning. We were only asking because we wanted to hear the words come out of your own mouths.

We summoned you here because we would like to let you know the ColorStreak Battalion is gunning for you. And they will help us with a problem of our own.

Okay, blah blah blah. Lily, you wanna kill 'em?

Let us end their pitiful lives, Killer Laurence.

I had a feeling you'd say yes.

(The two try to rush at Susie and JE...only to find out that they've been teleported without their weapons, and Malice Lily's malice magic has been disabled on top of that.)

Oh, now THAT is a fucking cheap shot.

Did you really think we'd let you harm us like that?

Indeed. Seems like The Joke™ is on you.

What, are you two fucking dating or something? Why do you keep finishing each others' one-liners like that? My fucking lord, is that ever unneccesary.

Yes. We're in a lesbian relationship.

(Killer Laurence stops cold when he hears that.)

I WAS FUCKING KIDDING. YOU ACTUALLY CANNOT BE SERIOUS WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

What, are you against it?

Yes, but it's not the lesbian bit I have a problem with. Trust me, I'm may be a cold-blooded murderer, but I'm not xenophobic.

That's for people of other countries, Killer Laurence, not sexualities.

(sigh...) Homophobic. I'm not homophobic. Oh, and since we're on the subject, I'm not xenophobic, either. Why do I ALWAYS get those two terms confused?

(ahem) Regardless, what I mean is that my problem is the fact that it's a female robot and a female alien dating. I feel like that counts as some kind of interspecies thing? Like, I wouldn't call it zoophilia, but i'd definitely consider it something like that.

(The two look at Killer Laurence with pure anger.)

Susie? Can we please show him what we learnt from my wrestler counterpart after the event from yesterday had concluded?

Yes, Joke-Explainer. I hereby provide authorization to give them a taste of the Smash-Up.

(Susie summons a wrestling ring from out of thin air. After she and JE hop up onto the ring, they both grab on to the ropes, pull themselves back, and hit both of the evil Burnway twins with two seperate flying full-force kicks to the face, with Susie nailing Malice Lily and JE nailing Killer Laurence. Susie and JE then grab a steel chair from under the ring and slam it into the evil duo's faces as a final blow. Susie then puts the wrestling ring away the same way she brought it out, as Malice Lily and Killer Laurence get up from the beating they just experienced.)

Do not call us a "zoophilic relationship" again.

Hmph! I hope you've learnt your lesson!

I VERY MUCH appreciate you dragging me into that little wrestling ring attack of theirs, Killer Laurence. Thank you SO much for nearly making me lose a tooth. (sigh...) I swear, you really need to learn when to stop talking like a chatterbox and start fighting, and to filter your words.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Sometimes I just love hearing the sound of my own voice too damn much.

(The two quickly get back onto their feet.)

Alright, spill. Why did you send us here?

Simple. We wanted to test the teleportation device that JE and I finished making, and we also wanted to let you know that the ColorStreak Battion will come out on top against you.

Not just because they always do, but because we need their help with something important. You will not intercept our plans to get their help at any point in time, you kidnappers.

We hope Sean gets back to his true parents, and that you both burn in your own personal hell for what you've done.

Goodbye.

(After Joke-Explainer and Susie say that last line in unison, another blinding flash of pink appears, and Malice Lily's castle fades back into view, as they are exactly where they were standing before being teleported by Susie.)

Sean? Are you there?

(Sean walks out of the room, having eaten some pre-cooked chicken nuggets that were in the fridge that he microwaved. He then pats his stomach and grins.)

Good job, kiddo! Thanks for following our instructions and making yourself some lunch. You think you're up for some Reese's now? We bought some more for you!

(Sean dashes toward Killer Laurence, grabs the packet of Reese's peanut butter cups, and begins scarfing them down.)

Hey. Do you think we could find those two again? Susie and Joke-Explainer, I mean.

Sadly not, Killer Laurence. I already tried, and it looks as though they are from another world entirely. Not a different timeline, a different world altogether. Even if a spell like that was possible, it'd take ten of me just to open it. Which is a damn shame, as I truly was hoping that they would call me "my dearest Malice Lily" like the rest do...

Fair enough. Let's just prepare for the start of our plans in May.

Of course. Did you have to make them so themed around movies, though?

I took some inspirations from a video game for the Nintendo 3DS by the name of "Persona Q2: Shadow Of The Labrynth". I'm a huge cinema buff, and that game is themed around worlds within the screen of a movie theatre. And since this world's Burnway siblings have those Persona things with them, it was an honest-to-god no-brainer to base it off of.

Fair enough. Now let us have our lunch. My servants should help us.

Killer Laurence?

🎶"You are looking without seeing/It's not like you were blind/But something had you fleeing/From what you could find/Just hiding in plain sight/You're already always free!/Now you're looking and you're seeing/Your every choice is fine/No plot limits your freedom/And the story line/Is yours for the making/The road less taken/Could be where you're meant to be!"🎶

KILLER LAURENCE!

Oh, sorry. Couldn't help but sing that song. Road Less Taken is such a banger!

But yeah, I heard you. Let's have us some dinner. General Thomas Tanker makes the BEST boneless chicken bites, I swear!

Yes, he certainly does. Although, I have no idea why you hate bones on your meat. I certainly like them, as it doesn't feel like meat without it.

I just don't wanna bite into something hard while I'm eating some soft chicken, Malice Lily. Personal prefrence, that's all.

Fair enough, Killer Laurence. Now then, without further delay, let us have our well-earned feast! I hope you enjoy it, Killer Laurence.

You bet your ass I will, Malice Lily.

(Malice Lily gives a playful smirk to Killer Laurence as she and Killer Laurence head into the dining room as Malice Lily's mind controlled army, lead by General Thomas Tanker, serves the two of them some absolutely delicious food, which they both enjoy with smiles on their faces, as Sean is heard in the background vigorusly practicing the combat tactics that Malice Lily and Killer Laurence have been teaching him onto the testing dummy the two set up for him.)

END OF INTERMISSION 10

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - ALTERRUNE X DELTARUNE: THE CATTI ONE

(We head over to Queen's basement. Kris is visibly shaking.)

What's up, Kris? Not a fan of this place?

Oh, right. That whole "your soul doesn't belong to you" fiasco.

Hey, at least you seem to be in control now. They aren't controlling you at the moment.

(What looks like a red, bloody, demonic scythe cuts through the Pipis and destroys them all.)

Who was that?!

She sounds like someone who's part of a demonic cult!

(Haruka walks up to Catti to talk with her.)

(Catti leads all of us further down the twisted rollercoaster ride.)

Seems like this place was never used.

Yeah...but it definitely has Spamton's ugly mug plastered everywhere.

Was it meant to be used by him at one point?

Seems run-down enough...

(Haruka, stunned, gives a silent nod to Kris, as she knows how it feels to be screwed over by fate being set in stone, as she only lived because I intervened. They nod back.)

(Haruka sighs.)

Which is why I have told myself (and Susie) to never do something like that again until we know it's safe to do.

We're not risking killing a figment until we know we can bring them back afterwards. It took a lot of effort to fully bring Mario back after that event.

Worse yet, since the figment of 7 Grand Dad is tied to Mario, he almost vanished as well. Thankfully I managed to avoid that from happening by turning him into a Fred Flintstone figment. The 7 Grand Dad figment is essentially the source of all things SiIvaGunner-related, so I will not risk him perishing and taking all of us out with him.

taht iss y ii loovve u, momiees

"Did...Did Noaka just call you two his 'mommies'?"

"Huh. Didn't expect that. That's really cute."

Well, they did aid in his creation.

Yeah, guess that makes sense.

Guess you two lesbians have a kid now!

Well, an adopted one, at least.

Still, looks like he loves you enough to consider you two his mothers.

(JE and Susie shrug, then pick Noaka up and hug him like he was a newborn baby.)

And we love you too, Noaka.

You've been such a big help to us.

(DR!Susie suddenly slams her axe down.)

Hey, think we can add Catti to the asker list, M.O.S.H.I.? That Necronomicon-looking book of hers may come in handy.

Of course! I can add her to the list!

Sweet! Catti, you heard that?

You're very welcome, Catti. Glad to have you with us.

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - ALTERRUNE X DELTARUNE: THE ROUXLS OF THE HOUSEHOLD

⚠️TW: Parental Abuse⚠️

(Susie finally thaws out from the ice block, and thankfully, she's completely okay.)

(Haruka complies, and DR!Susie sits down next to Haruka.)

[FLASHBACK]

[SOMETIME AFTER THE END OF DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2]

[END OF FLASHBACK]

(Haruka looks at Susie in utter disbelief and anger.)

(A blue figure with long-haired silver locks clears his throat.)

(Haruka tries to cast Halation's Wrath onto Lancer, but misses and hits Rouxls instead, as he tumbles to the ground.)

(Lancer picks Rouxls back up, as he approaches Haruka again.)

(We all walk to the roof of Queen's Mansion, where another dead figment awaits us.)

Is that the Protogent guy?

What's he doing here?

Actually, it's his brother. He was sacrificed during "The SiIvaGunner Halloween Horror Special Part VI: Cult of Proto".

Yes. And as we saw in the polaroids we found near the end of the AIRTH folder, he wrote that Wood Man was responsible for his death.

Yeah, we all agree with you on that, Haruka.

That's fucking evil. They definitely belong in a jail cell for what they've done.

Hey, seems like he had a book in his jacket pocket...wait, what the fuck? It's blank!

The only words it has are the words "Volume 24" on the cover.

Another step in the Library of Babel puzzle, it seems.

We've still got two more, though. We should probably get going.

"Yeah. We should."

"I think Noaka's getting restless."

wat is teh huld-op?! letts ggo alrraedyy!!

M.O.S.H.I., you got a lock on the next figment?

Indeed I do. Let's move. Are you coming along, Lancer?

(We all begin to walk to the next dead figment.)

Damn...Susie has it rough in the Light World.

Yeah. No wonder she wants to stay down here for as long as she can. Her parents are horrid.

Plus, Lancer seems like a good friend, and one without any strings attatched. No wonder she'd rather be with Lancer in here than with her parents out there.

Poor girl...I hope things change for her.
