-i'm so sorry link--but fate wasn't in the cards that time
◊-
-If anything, Salty just successfully used it as a springboard to gain some distance-
Hahahah! You should work on your tim— NGH!
-The notes fly out and manage to distract him for a moment...!-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanGhkghkghkghk—!
(As Link gets shocked again, he can't help but think... he really, really, really misses the Thunder Helm right now.)
(Once he recovers, though, he sees Koata's attack distracting Salty... and, taking advantage of this, flicks his wrist and launches a crescent-shaped beam of light from the Master Sword!)
(yeah i know he doesn't have full hearts, but eff the game mechanics just this once)
(Bearhugs Yvette and hoists her up, wearing a wicked, hateful grin.)
I bet you're thinking I've bitten off more than I can chew with you just because you're also a machine, hm?
Joke's on you. I've annexed more than my share of machines for research. You may put up more of a fight than a human, but you're still mine. Just be glad you're about to be part of something bigger.
<...I mean, if you think so. I wouldn't know...>

-The light slash runs clean through Salty, injuring him a good deal!--The barrage of kicks disorients Salty enough to bring him to his knees!-
-And the guitar bash just straight sends him in a daze-
Guh...! No... Not when I've just leveled up... You don't speedrun a boss like MEEEEE!
-Lightning surges out from his body as Bugster minions begin to spawn around him-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanNnh!
No!
-Squirming, trying to free an arm, still dazed-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-he nods and strums the guitar to the beat-
Sorry Salty, but it's not a speedrun when you're the first boss.
-he points the end at salty and takes out the gashat to put it in the guitar-
Sonic Blast! Critical Strike!
-a huge rainbow wave from the guitar to salty with explosive notes-
... You know, my life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows too.

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!(Carries Yvette behind the barricade.)
C—Ccc—Clauuudia, p-pleassssthe—!
SHUT UP, you insolent little girl, this is for your own good. Our own good.
(Slams Yvette down onto a metal table, right beside the body under the sheet.)
(Caroline bites her lip, uneasy.)
...I don't think she wants this. I don't think she'll start wanting it once we put her to sleep, either...
(Bristles.)
For God's sake, am I the only functional person in the room?! Someone get me the goddamn Incapacitator.
(Meanie mean Claudia is on it, though the device in question is heavy and she's straining to carry it.)
<...I'd imagine not, all lives are deeply tinged by suffering. How have you suffered?>

-Salty himself may have leveled up... but the minions' basic strategy didn't, only their numbers--But Link and Marcie's actions absolutely help keep the lane clear for Koata to fire-
Nuh- no!! -He throws a charged punch at the rainbow blast with everything he has... but alas... it starts pushing him back!-
I didn't... even... get to show my special MOOOOOOOOVE!
-Salty explodes again in the rainbow beam, this time for good-
GAME CLEAR!
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean-She shakes her head, trying to regain her focus, trying to push herself back up-
No! No, I won't let you!
-Between her panicked struggles she looks to Friend!Claudia, the only clear figure through the haze of pain and confusion-
Please, make them understand!
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Well, lets just say I didn't get my youth or after spent of fun. And of my own free will too.
I did it!!
-he takes the gashat out and is back to being the purple rider, luckily not much has changed in it-
-he goes to dan-
I beat Salty, Mister Dan! It was so cool!

Indeed you have! ...Mr. Purple Rider.-He nods towards how Koata's still in costume-
Or did you decide to change your name in the end based on the advice I gave you?
-Blake emerges from behind the tree Marcie hid him behind, giving his body a quick run through to see if everything's right-
..I'm cured...?

-well he's definitely not keeling over--his body's not glitching out-
-He seems like an ordinary lad now-
I'll go grab something to check on that to be sure. Please wait here.
-Kuroto excuses himself to go inside-
Aw, but... I totally missed Christmas didn't I...
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean...C—... Cc... C—Caroline...? Pleassssthe...
…
(Snarls like an animal and lunges for Claudia, with a madwoman's strength and eyes full of fury—)
(Simply turns to Caroline as she charges, holding out a hand to keep her back.)
I know where she lives, Caroline. I know how to hurt her. I'll hurt her if you don't let me do this.
............
(Those pink eyes well up with tears, a look of horror slowly creeping across her face. Steps back, haltingly, bringing her hands to her face as she begins to weep like a child.)
Good girl... A woman is nothing if she can't reign in her own impulses, and I like to think I have a pretty good handle on mine.
(Takes the Incapacitator (which looks like a portal gun, except black because I'm edgy and uncreative) , and shoves it into Yvette's chest, giving a hateful smirk as her finger creeps to the trigger.)
Trust me, little one. When it's all said and done, when all this research culminates— you'll be wishing I did this sooner.
NO—!
(Pulls the trigger. Yvette is conscious for maybe five seconds more before abruptly deactivating. However, due to her advanced technology, she'll power back up within three hours. But will it be too late...?)
<...That sounds most unfortunate. And not unexpected, not from what I've heard. Childhoods, especially where I come from, are often cut short, and the adult period is wracked with unending sorrow...>
(i gots 2 sleepe)

-he watches dan go, his arm droops a little-
Oh...
...
-he hurries to blake-
Don't worry! I'm sure you can still celebrate with your friend! It's not New Years yet right?
Mhm... The least I can do now is make sure my kids have time to themselves.
Speaking of kids...
-he starts walking back to the room-

-Kuroto wonders if Koata is aware that he has now tied the two identities together--Link- You don't know what Christmas is?? I'm so sorry, dude... It's just, like... a day made entirely for peace, love, and goodwill y'know? You give presents to people that deserve it. It's also uh... Kinda uh... Ro... Romant... Guh...
-You can see the steam start to rise in his head as he tries to get that last word out-
-Koata- ...Y-Yeah! You know what, yeah! I was really worried about making it perfect for her, but... New Year's sounds like a good day for it too, yeah?
