"That ship... and this feeling I'm getting..." "...Omega is... back? but... how?"

"Now... to wait for the hunters to report about 'Marx' causing a bit of mayhem around the world... hehehe.... shouldn't be long at all..."

"Hmm... seems like I have a lot more guests than expected to deal with..." "But fine... I'll just wish for something to deal with a nearby forest or village, after all, a hunt is much more fun with... unexpected twists...." *Cue the jester turning over to the now awakening Shadow Nova -

"Well... What can I say..." *Ah, no need to play onto this facade any longer it seems, as Marx reveals his true form...* "̵̱́͝U̴̝̒̏s̷͚̤͠ ̴̡̂̈́͜ẗ̵̘́r̷̫͋i̴̭͗̔͜č̴̠͉k̵̡̳̍s̸̭͋ẗ̶́̆͜ė̶̯̬͆ṟ̵͌͘š̶̭͇͒ ̸̳͎̕a̵̱̓ͅŗ̷̰̈́͗e̶̹͕͗̕ ̸̺̩̅͑h̸̗̋á̶̜͍r̶͇̄̆ḑ̴̛̓ ̷͍̗̑̉t̸̙͚̕ö̶͉́̒ ̷͙̙͗c̵̱͈̈́ȃ̴̝̜ẗ̸̝̚͜ĉ̴̞h̷̗̪̀ ̶̢͊̆ạ̴͖͛̀s̷̭̦͠ ̸͈̝̅ẁ̵̺͖́e̴̟̐͊l̴̠̅ľ̷͍̞͑ ̸̣̓͂y̷̛̩̜̌'̴̞̒͜͝k̵̳̇͘ǹ̴̡o̶͇̙͋͌w̶̘͋.̵̰̘̏̏.̷̞̲̈.̶̟̾̽"̶̟͌͜͝ *And suddenly, he vanishes... cackling as he left...* *Where to? nobody knows...*

"Glad to hear, friend..." *He still mostly raised his guard... just in case...* "Do you... have any friends I remind you of at all?"

"Hmm, I'd say so, yes..." "Is... there an issue with that?"

"Well... I can't really explain it..." "You just... remind me of a friend of mine... somewhat..."

"...Note to self... go vegan asap..." "...Wait no, maybe gluten free would be better..."

"Eh?" *A... Waddle Doo? That... explains a lot... but... he chooses to just gulp it down asap...* "You are rather interesting at times, my friend...."

"Oh, I've been doing swell... though I've been takin' a bit of time to just be a solo act y'know..." *Marx seems eager to take whatever this treat was, just munching on it...* "Hmm... what is this anyways?"

"Well, you seem overjoyed to see li'l 'ol me again! glad to know we're still pals, eh?" *The jester chuckled...* "So, how's things been with all your other pals? all nice and peachy?"

"Woah!" *Even so, he keeps his balance, turning to the fauxball with a smile!* "Hey hey hey there pal! Long time no see!"

*The jester seemed to be bouncing on a ball of sorts, nothing much to do really...*

"Ah, I seem to have been asleep all day yesterday!" "Well, this simply won't do! I must assemble the other Horrors for... hmm, a staff meeting of sorts!"

"...They always underestimate me... always..." "...Cyn's the only one who cares..." *The jester sighed, traveling the vast reaches of space for a bit...* "Truth be told... I was going to betray her originally, have all the wishes to myself but.... -

"Well, I'd say that was a unfortunate battle... I almost had him on the ropes until YOU showed up, puffball..." *The jester glared at Shadow Kirby...* "But just know this... if you tried to do this just so we could let bygones be bygones... then you've screwed up greatly..." -

{Noooot to spoil who saves the day here, so I'll simply say, I'll brb for like a hour, before responding to this with the second part of the reply...}

*Well, this was a surprise... unfortunately, the jester won't be giving the blue bomber the last laugh here... as he suddenly snapped back together, almost making it into the black hole until he vanishes once more...* "...So now you decide to speak up? how nice..." -

*The jester can't even be mad that the flame sword even hit, if anything it just made him laugh more...* "OH! do we have killing intent on the mind here pal?" *...Marx, being the meddlesome trickster he was, suddenly vanished once more...* "Fine then... I'll play by your rules for a bit!" -

"Ooh! Something new I see?" *The jester vanished, as expected... but... where did he go?* "Unfortunately, I can read you like a book!" *And he cackled as he suddenly burst out from the ground below his enemy!* -

{You already KNOW we gotta be rockin' out to this song during this battle...} {And you might be asking "oh why not the Star Allies version?"} {...Well, I started this, so screw you, I get the aux cord for this fight...}

"...Hey, hey, heeeeey..." "Aren't YOU just as happy as ever.... you got to kill that stupid maverick who would've gracefully spoiled our plans... you had just a splendid victory party.... and the greatest gift of all?"

"Aww, people going after good pal Cyn just like that for causing a teensy bit of chaos for some stupid Maverick Hunters?" "...How sweet, I'll make sure to book an appointment for a personal ass kicking from the both of us then..."

"...I'm all ears..."

"Then if that's the case, explain... what's the big deal now?"

"Splendid! splendid! in that case! we'll be in touch! see 'ya soon pal!" *The jester vanished then and there.... all according to plan...*

"...Ah..." *The jester decides to vanish... to follow and fuck shit up alongside her...*

"Biiiiig day today...." "Very... very big day..." "Cyn, have you decided on a target yet?"

"Yup yup yup! positive! I'm everyone's friend!" *"C'mon!" he thought! "take the bait! say we're friends!"*

*Marx thinks... perhaps this creature would be gullible enough to believe him...* "Well, I can assure you I wouldn't even hurt a fly! any friend of yours? is a friend of mine!"

"..." *Something tells him he shouldn't answer that honestly... but he decides to ask something.* "That depends? what's this Jester fellow like?"

"Oh, did I? My sincerest apologies..." *He doesn't sound too sorry...*

*And he just stares back... smiling...*

*Hey! Marx can do that too!* *Now EVERYONE'S ears are probably bleeding!*

"Doooon't think you're any better y'know..."

"Glad to know we're on the same page!"

"...Perfect... let's try to keep it that way, okay?"

"Wario?" "...Don't tell me 'ya haven't heard of him..."

{I don't care if it's late, I don't care if everyone's asleep, we are doing this now, and we are doing this HERE...} {Will also be reposting in the morning.}

"Exactly what it means... I don't even need to explain it..."

"I liked him better before he got into microgames..."

"Oh hey! another final boss! cool!" *Sigh* "And Wario..."

"Why? WHY CAN'T I SLEEP TONIGHT!?!?" "I'm STILL SOMEHOW AWAKE AND I JUST... I HATE THIS DAMMIT! I NEED MY REST FOR THE MORNING!"

{I don't care if it's late, I don't care if everyone's asleep, we are doing this now, and we are doing this HERE...} {Will also be reposting in the morning.}

*Oh hey! Marx knows this one!* *...He's not gonna sing the rest of it though... mainly because he can't sing for the life of him...*
