Looping "Gamma Unchained" and "Look What You've Done" leads to THINGS.

[phdinfailure]

So maybe I've had some setbacks in my career. It happens to everyone!

Besides.

I know what's in the pipes. My impending defeat in your little game is merely a means to an end. A victorious end. Why should I worry about failing to conquer a planet, when I can go on and conquer the UNIVERSE?!

And no Mega Man to interfere! Ahahahahaha!

COULDN'T RESIST

[killswithbrooms]

[OH HECK NO, MISTER]

What are you doing here!? Didn't you learn your lesson?!

AW YEAH

[phdinfailure]

[Oh heck YES.]

I'm simply fulfilling my destiny! And yes, I have learned plenty of lessons. Lessons that will lead to success!

[killswithbrooms]

[nope.avi x INFINITY sir!]

I'm not convinced. And-mun, what do you mean I can't go stop him?!

[GIVE HER A MINUTE SHE'S ARGUING]

[phdinfailure]

Hehehe... I never said they were the lessons you and your ignorant family wanted me to learn, though.

[SMUGGEST OF SMUGFACES.]

Do be wary, Roll-mun, she's a tenacious one! _{Seriously, Thomas, you need to clean up your programming act. This 'free will' thing only leads to trouble...}

[killswithbrooms]

[WELL

IF SHE CAN'T STOP YOU IN A GAME

she'll at least try and swat you with a broom here. INCOMING!]

Don't you say anything mean about Dr. Light-! He's ten times the programmer you ever were!

[phdinfailure]

[WHAT OW

BLAST YOU LITTLE GIRL]

FEH! I'll say what I want about that doddering old fool!

[killswithbrooms]

[NOPE NOPE HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE]

I'm gonna go get the soap and wash out your mouth, see if I don't!

[phdinfailure]

[OW CUT THAT OUT

TIME FOR A LOW BLOW]

I thought Light made PEACEFUL robots!

[killswithbrooms]

I am perfectly peaceful! I can just be firm when the situation calls for it, too!

[phdinfailure]

Since when is hitting a defenseless old man with a broom PEACEFUL?!

[killswithbrooms]

When he's a nasty old man who builds nasty robots.

[phdinfailure]

...okay, I can't quite argue with that point.

[itsalwaysstars]

[Starman grins happily and waves, then gives Wily a rose. His master is actually here!]

Father! It is so good to see you! Are you well?

[phdinfailure]

[Sometimes, he wonders what he was thinking with the rose part, but whatever - a loyal 'bot is a loyal 'bot.]

Oh yes, quite well. Things are going good for once.

[itsalwaysstars]

[Star smiles happily. Yay!]

That's good to hear~ Are you in a game already, or is your mun planning on taking you anywhere at all?

[phdinfailure]

I am not going into one properly - merely used as plot-fodder, for now.

I may go to one normally if this one wraps up soon as mun expects it to.

[itsalwaysstars]

Ah, I see. [He tilts his hips and rests his elbow an arm bent under it, leaning his cheek against his curled hand.]

I'd join you if my mun had plans to even place me in a game here. But to be honest, I like it over at Robot Masters.

[phdinfailure]

Hmmn. You may be better off over there. I don't need to be losing any of you if I can help it.

[itsalwaysstars]

[Starman is feeling all of the warm fuzzies for his creator right now. It feels so good to know Wily cares!]

[So he's gonna give the old man a tight hug.]

All right, Father! You be careful, okay?

[phdinfailure]

[Blasted emotional mechanoids...! Wily's gonna try and get away from it. Subtly.]

Yes, yes, you just make sure you and your brothers keep up the part-time jobs! I need funding for my projects!

[itsalwaysstars]

[blink blink. Part-time jobs, what?]

You built me with more ambition than that. [More romantic ambition than professional ambition, but whatever.] I've acquired quite a bit from entertaining and doing odd jobs in space! Naturally, you have access to the account.

[phdinfailure]

...

[Squiiiiint.]

Oh, wait. One of those different-canon things, yes.

[Would taking money from this Star Man count as stealing from himself...?]

[itsalwaysstars]

[Star blinks at the "different-canon" bit, but he smiles all the same. Dr. Wily is still Dr. Wily, after all.]

I guess so. But my previous statement still stands. Take what you need, Father.

:3c

[becauseexplosions]

DOC!!!

[Well, at least someone's excited to see Wily, right?]

You mean you have a plan that'll work this time? But if there's no Megaman, what do we blow up? And is it awesome? It's not a plan if we don't blow up something awesome!

[Don't mind the mun facepalming in the background. She TOLD Crash that he's probably not going to a game, but he can't help but assume he's automatically going wherever Wily is anyway...]

=0?

[phdinfailure]

We blow up everything, far as the eye can see, and draw a bunch of would-be heroes out. Distract them!

...which isn't a very glorious plan, to tell the truth, but it is merely an means to an end.

[Just don't tell Wily that he's only going to be temporary for a plot, ahah.]

<3!

[becauseexplosions]

Blow up ALL THE THINGS!? That's my favorite plan!

[HOW DID YOU KNO- oh wait you created him, right.]

I haven't blown up that much stuff in ages! Well I guess my mun has some other guys who like to blow things up, but that's just for fun so it's not really the same?

Do I know you? Or are you just excited for a Wily? xD;

[phdinfailure]

[Such a good destructive robot, yes!]

Hehehe. Yes, yes, not quite the same. After all, I doubt they share your enthusiasm, my boy.

[fasternlightbot]

[He's not in the same game as Wily but that doesn't stop Quick from being as happy as a puppy when its master returns.]

As if anyone could truly defeat you, sir!

[phdinfailure]

[Another of his own! Excellent.]

Of course not! I always bounce back, no matter the setback!

[fasternlightbot]

So what's the plan? Will it include luring them into a false sens of security? I love it when they think they've won and then BAM, buildings going down like dominoes! [All of the excites!]

[phdinfailure]

Yeeeessssss - a number of others alongside us will be drawing these hero-types out, away from their precious ship. And then it gets sabotaged!

[fasternlightbot]

Brilliant as always~ They won't know what hit them!

[prototype_blues]

... You are aware that without Mega Man there there is no one to stop the folks where you are from killing you, right?

[s'up, here's a Protoman to rain on your parade, Wily.]

[phdinfailure]

[DAMN IT PROTOMAN, WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THAT?]

...feh, all these hero types are the same.

[He hopes, anyway.]

[prototype_blues]

[Cause someone has to be the bitter old man around here]

You don't sound all that sure of it, Wily.

[phdinfailure]

They've got a damaged reputation to worry about! Killing a defenseless old man would only make it worse!

[A pause.]

_{Maybe that's something to consider for the final part...}

[prototype_blues]

The kinds who would end you wouldn't care much for "reputation".

[Oh dear, he's just gonna... roll his eyes.]

Well you were always good at begging for mercy...

[measure63_forte]

["Setbacks", huh? Also, "no Megaman" sounds boring as Hell.]

So what's the scheme this time?

[phdinfailure]

[Wait just a minute...]

...Forte, you look different. [SQUINT.]

[measure63_forte]

[...Are you s--]

I get that a lot.

[phdinfailure]

So have you been upgrading yourself, or what? I certainly didn't build you like this!

[measure63_forte]

"Alternate canon", as they say. I've always been like this.

[professor_hojo]

Indeed. Some setbacks can be … annoying.

How would you achieve the goal to conquer a planet? The idea is quite intriguing.

[phdinfailure]

Well - it would appear I have been thwarted before I could even begin by unforeseen circumstances.

[Namely, the game closing suddenly. Whoops.]

The plan was to simply overwhelm it with a robot army.
