+Regardless of what happens...
??????????: Is money really important in your future, gentlemen? Because maybe it would be if I wiped you out now.
EVERYONE: ?
Everyone turns around to see a blowing blue robot guy with a huge, spikey crown and wavy robot limbs. However, his face is all pixelated, except for the glasses.
WALUIGI: Whos a-this long-limbed a-jerk?
Mario and Huey are surprised.
?????????? [ i.imgur.com/omLYrn0.png ]: Hubert! Its been far too long, my creation.
HUEY: ...Starmageddon? Is that you?! Have you been working out?
KOLORADO: What- thats the King of Prism Island?! But wheres the rest of him!? I thought hed be twenty times bigger!
STARMAGEDDON: Indeed, I am the Blight King himself! ...or, at least a holo-duplicate of him. You must understand- I was banished to another dimension by my TREACHEROUS BACKSTABBING PARTNER after a little altercation. And a further misunderstanding with the locals...maaaaay have cost me my original body.
EDWIN: Then howd you get back here?
STARMAGEDDON: As luck would have it, I found a portal inside a museum sort-of out of the way. It led back to this dimension, to the area that would become this workshop. Over time, I used my engineering expertise to create a simple body very similar to the only species who lives on my island- the Toads.
LOUIS: ...Uh, Your Majesty? Youre joking, right? A lot of other species live on your island, signore.
KIDD: And YOU were the one who rallied the Ve-!
STARMAGEDDON: Yessss, the Toad- the simplest, most unremarkable creature on the planet! However, this lead to another dilemma- my false body would not be able to go toe-to-toe with who I thought was my sealed partner or her remaining minions. Nor would it prove the task of *BZZZZZT*. I created Huey to *BZZZZZT*, you know. For the former two, meanwhile, I would need my original body- and it was being kept heavily guarded in the other dimension. So, I built various mechsuits to deal with security. And, my friends, youre looking at a hologram of the finished mechsuit now. ...though I keep another one in this lab, just to be safe.
HUEY: See, guys? The Kings cool like that, always having a plan! When he gets back with his real body, hes going to bathe the island in color and dances! Hell probably even bring a unicycling monkey- his kids favorite!
STARMAGEDDON: ...oh, Im afraid my plans have changed since we last met, Hubert.
HUEY: ...wh-wh-what do you mean?
STARMAGEDDON: Over the years, while I whittled away at my secret museum workshop, I began to learn something from my partners betrayal- its not worth saving, this world. Its too wicked and complicated, with the people who live on it. So after you *BZZZZZT* and I find my real body, Id rather just blight out the whole world and start over again, with just Prism Island remade. Maybe the Decal Lands, too. Its simpler that way, for everyone who survives. A new standard, if you will.
HUEY: But Your Majesty, youll end the games of BILLIONS! And theres people I really like, on and off Prism Island!
STARMAGEDDON: Everyone I care about on this planet is no longer with us. Theres no point in this world if shes gone...
KIDD: ...thats still no excuse, old man.
STARMAGEDDON: What did you say, Vellbex? You question your king?!
KIDD: Until a few hours ago, I thought the same thing, too. I thought there was no point anymore, with someone I cared about no longer in my arms. And its going to hurt for a long time. But I know now- I have to keep dashing forward.
STARMAGEDDON: If only it were that simple, Vellbex woman. No wonder I lost that battle...your race is too emotional!
Starmageddon charges up his laser busters.
HUEY: Your Majesty, no!
Huey flies in front of Kidd.
STARMAGEDDON: Are you standing against me too, Hubert?!
HUEY: (angry) Im doing what I was built for- guarding Prism Island from anything that threatens it! And if your real self is like this, hes not getting a warm colored welcome!
Mario jumps.
STARMAGEDDON: ...Mario!? Youre HERE!? But thats not possible- that would mean-!
Starmageddon looks steamed.
STARMAGEDDON: Youve already ruined my plans, plumber! You destroyed my partner before I could! And you have no idea what lurks on this island! By my order, YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED!
