"Honestly I still don't get why they hate the guy so much" I said, "compared to, I mean, some of the CEOs who literally profit off human suffering. But what do I know? I've just been impregnating Karla and Fusui while twiddling my thumbs and making mad money by abusing EX rank Clairvoyance on fight betting"

"Hey, thanks for lending me those advanced cloning facilities by the way" said Shen casually, "I'm really glad you lent me them early on so I could just chill, drink beer and hang out with all these strong fun guys instead of pretend to start a war or whatever"

"Honestly, I should be thanking YOU. I'm just glad I got SOME utility out of those cloning facilities" I said, shaking my head as both of us pondered the endless production lines of Shens currently dormant in the Kaminoan-style facilities I'd originally intended to build my Kure army with once Karla was too tired to carry more children.

"Hey Shen, why don't we go have a look at what Luohan's doing?"

"Funny you should ask, I was just about to visit him"

And so, with the "final boss" now recruited to the side of the "heroes", there was only one thing left to do: Investigate the "mastermind characters". One of them was foaming on the mouth like a crack addict (Tiger Niko).

"Um, is this a bad time?" asked Shen.

And the other one was currently having the VR-induced martial arts equivalent of an orgasm (Luohan himself. I refuse to use the term gooning to mean anything other than work-for-hire employment by a criminal/supervillain)

"Oh shit oh shit ohshitshitshitSHIT Luohan we're rumbled, what do we do?" yelped Tiger Niko, understandably horrified by the Connector just showing up.

"TIME TO DIE, ORIGINAL!!!" shrieked Luohan, tearing off his VR headset with a thousand yard stare.

"...we're going to die broke" whimpered Tiger Niko, staring at us. "I hate you so much, Luohan"

"Yeah, I know right? Luohan's SO annoying" said Shen.

4/4

End.
