[Four] - Locked TO Known Hostiles

[robotnik_mkii]

Well, now that we've had time to lick our wounds, so to speak...

That could have gone a tad bit better, but it could have gone much, much worse

I do applaud the damage you did. Most worthwhile. Most impressive, even.

If you can indeed rally everyone, we may just have the makings of a vast villainous empire that won't collapse in upon itself until we've grown overconfident and start thinking that we're bigger threats to each other than the good guys!

[Locked to Eggman]

But that being said, and mind you, this is just villain to villain courtesy... You didn't even kidnap a dopey sidekick.

And you revealed yourself as a true villain. I saw what DATS had to say, because they think I'm still harmless. (I'm racing your nemesis tomorrow, as a matter of fact...)

It's got potential, but it still looks like your plans are gonna be mid-boss material in comparison to the established powers of this world.

[lvl9finalboss]

... That reminds me...

[robotnik_mkii]

Well, that's sort of the idea, my friend!

[locked to Bowser]

Bowser, honestly now.

If I had a Chaos Emerald for every time I've kidnapped a dopey sidekick, I wouldn't NEED these people.

That shtick gets a bit tired after awhile, I'm afraid. Though, not without its merits, still, when there's a time and place for it.

And honestly, now, if they didn't think I was a threat... it'd be kind of boring. And... good luck with that. Honestly.

Ah, but I've only been here but a month, my scaley friend. Things here have only JUST started to get off the ground...

[lvl9finalboss]

You've got my full backing, then. So long as I don't have to leave the castle until I say so.

[Locked to Eggman]

All I'm saying is that, as a villainous declaration, it was subpar. I do, though, appreciate the sentiment of it getting old. There's a reason I went into space, and why I stole those notes, and...

STILL!

So long as the next showing is better. If you're going to get a villainous alliance out of me, I demand a plot that I can be proud of. I will NOT be the Team Rocket of this world.

So, even a small gathering can hard the mighty DATS. I'm impressed, Doctor. Of course, even if we are on their turf, their terms, even a victory on our side can be assured. My fight with those at the Silver Dragon can attest to that.

A suggestion, though - and it worked with me. Perhaps the capture of someone close to their inner circle and assume their identity, thus giving you the element of surprise in a possible battle...

Re: [via D-Reader]

[robotnik_mkii]

Ah, yes, yes. Such things have been attempted in the past. A worthwhile idea, but it requires a certain familiarity with those involved.

Unfortunately, my segment - Sonic and his fellow furry friends - are a bit more difficult to fool in that area after some recent incidents, or so I would think.

Re: [via D-Reader]

[all_hail_doom]

Indeed. It seemed that when I attempted that, I was nearly outed before. Especially since DATS is an army, a vastly different dynamic to what I experienced with the familiar closeness of the 'Guardians', it probably would be tougher to pull off...

Re: [via D-Reader]

[robotnik_mkii]

But, something to consider, at least, if the time becomes right.

Anonymous/Untraceable

[dark_present]

My, my, my, quite the speech.

Hm, even if I have had quarrels with Doom in the past, perhaps he will realize I am not quite to blame.

I can get you information of inside DATS.

Re: Anonymous/Untraceable

[robotnik_mkii]

Is that so?

Re: Anonymous/Untraceable

[dark_present]

Yes. A very reliable source, really.

Re: Anonymous/Untraceable

[robotnik_mkii]

Curiouser and curiouser...

And what, if I may ask, makes this source reliable?

[not_edd]

First, Doctor, allow me to introduce myself. I am Lord Zedd. You can say I am... well known within a certain group of 'Tamers' here.

I am impressed that you and your gathering were able to harm those who seem more powerful in appearance. It shows that even they are not invincible.

But, perhaps I can be of assistance in your mission.

[robotnik_mkii]

Oh, we could certainly make arrangements. I've been keeping an eye on the journal systems, so do believe that I've noticed you.

[not_edd]

Excellent!

Despite the fact that it has come to my attention my own evil powers have dwindled due to the effects of this world, I can still do what I have done before and that's my ability to create an army of monsters. Anything simple can become a fearsome creature in an instant.

At the same time, I do have a... growing army of Digimon as well... pastiches of my army back from my world though, why did that SkullGreymon have to act like that blasted Rito?!.

My services as well as my army is at your command if need be. Believe me, I believe we have a chance at victory here...

[megatronrising]

I would have preferred to do more than simply make a point, doctor.

... But at the very least, it provides us further motivation for our next altercation.

[robotnik_mkii]

Oh, as would I, but these things happen. You must learn to take them in stride. Making the POINT was my overall intent, and that was done with flying colors.

Anything else would just be a bonus.

I maimed Tails, at least. That made me sleep easy.

[megatronrising]

Let us hope that our enemies see it this way, then, and not in a manner that is detrimental to our reputation.

[robotnik_mkii]

Oh, trust me, if it is, they'll only regret it later.
