Marble Siege 2 Remade

"**CORRUPT Bosses**" is the remake of Marble Siege #2. It premiered on 12 August 2023.

## Contestants (70)

The following marbles join the roster:

* Platinum, Strawberry, Apricot, Ivory, Celadon, Lilac and Pearl, the marbles rescued in Tree Wurld.
* Wheel, Fireball and Sea , who moved into Rainbowville after the Enigma battle.
* Pree the Tree and HATT MANN, who have now joined the marbles after their battles in Marble Siege #1.

Additionally, Keppel and Zomp leave the roster after being blasted to a snowy area by Enigma.

## Plot

The story is mostly the same as the original with some changes.

Keppel and Zomp have gone missing, and several creatures have increased their aggression. The Moon is being sucked up by a portal to the Void, and the statue—named Pruina—is no longer in Rainbowville. Instead, for some reason, it is in the Sound Streams.

The marbles exit Blue's Lab and walk to the Flax Forest. Just like in the original, Lavender has a bottle of water, Magenta is too hot and HATT MANN and Orange are in the Hatt Vann. Magenta asks HATT MANN for some water—Uglee Hat #36207—which then falls onto the ground. Sea encounters Highwaystickman, and the first battle begins.

After the marbles defeat Highwaystickman, Outcast and Doon, the marbles encounter Help Me the Tree. Sapphire tries to help him by giving him money, but realizes her wallet is empty. Help Me does not care and attacks the marbles for not helping him.

After Help Me has withered, the marbles enter the Teal Tundra. Just like in the original, Magenta is freezing cold, and HATT MANN and Orange are in the Hatt Vann. Magenta asks HATT MANN for a fire hat—Uglee Hat #5019—which then burns itself up, angering Magenta. Yellow is also frozen, Red sees Ice Elemental and the second set of battles begin.

The marbles defeat Ice Elemental, Shardberg and Snow Joke, the latter of whom gives party hats to all the marbles; Raspberry decides to keep hers. Blue finds a flag of the Kingdom of Pruina; a warrior, Frigidium, decides to fight the marbles for trespassing.

After Frigidium is defeated, he prepares to die. The marbles, instead of dealing the final blow, decide to spare his life; Frigidium greatly thanks them for that. Next, the marbles climb the Rocky Mountains. Sapphire tries to help by pulling out a book titled 'Get Over It'. Orange and HATT MANN, meanwhile, are dancing in the Hatt Vann, angering Magenta for the third time. The marbles break down The Wall, Another Wall and Yet Another Wall and then walk into the Sound Streams.

In the Sound Streams, Yellow asks HATT MANN to enter the Hatt Vann to see Orange, even promising to buy an Uglee Hat, but HATT MANN refuses. It turns out that Blue has been using Destroyer's cloning technology for the Clone power-up, but Magenta is suspicious. Red spots the statue, which the marbles then try to retrieve. Unfortunately, a mysterious force stops them from touching it, and it floats into the 'black hole'.

Blue and Charcoal are surprised to learn that the statue is now in space. Magenta is, once again, suspicious, but Blue confirms that it is indeed in space, as he attached a tracker onto the statue. Then, Magenta questions why Blue wants to retrieve it. He replies with, 'It contains great power and we cannot let it fall into the wrong hands'. For example, the statue has a weird force, which could cause it to explode, and the Moon is being torn apart.

Green, Sea and Sapphire are ready to sail. Sapphire pulls out a VIP ticket for the RS Voyager, but because it is being repaired, they use the Wanderer. Inside, Orange reveals to Yellow that he had business in Qefped. Blue announces that the ship's anchor has somehow been activated, so the crew will have to manually de-activate it. Wood dives underneath and notices a Pheesh—the fourth set of battles begin.

After the marbles defeat Pheesh, Pufferfish and Shark, the marbles begin climbing back onto the ship. Red then spots a corrupted Neptune. She threatens to attack the marbles, but they were too far away to hear her. So, they move closer and begin the battle.

Because of Neptune's defeat, she has been freed from the curse, and the marbles visit the Violet Volcanoes. Barium believes the volcanoes are dormant, when they are interrupted by Pyromaniac, thus beginning the fifth set of battles.

After Pyromaniac has been defeated, a lava chunk flies into the arena and explodes. Suddenly, a nearby volcano erupts with explosive lava chunks and violet lava. Cyan realizes that the volcano is too powerful to defeat, so the marbles escape the arena. When the marbles were about to leave the violet volcanoes to enter Jammed Jungles, Cyan then gets hit by lightning. Sapphire tries to help again, but a corrupted Fulmina enters the area; the marbles fight her. This also marks the first time that a marble—Spring—has died.

Because of Fulmina's defeat, she has been freed from the corruption, and the remaining 69 marbles set camp for the night in the Jammed Jungles. Yellow and Orange greet Cee the Tree and Three the Tree; Pree the Tree greets his brothers. Yellow and Orange are happy for them. Meanwhile, Magenta talks to Lavender about Blue and the First Siege. For example, why did they fight Destroyer? Why would Blue do such a thing? That's something he would never do, as Lavender notes. Perhaps Blue made a mistake, but the feedback form says the answer will come much later. Magenta is also worried that the marbles will be sucked into the Moon, but Lavender comforts her by saying they have experience. Then, Lavender goes to sleep.

The next day, the marbles arrive at R.O.A.S.T. Blue, Charcoal and Barium head to the observatory to plan their next move, while everyone else enters the main building. In the observatory, they notice that the statue has entered what looks like a black hole. However, Barium says that if it was a real black hole, the effects would be felt on Planet Amity. Plus, there are red clouds made of gas; there is no gas on the Moon. Blue decides that, in order to investigate, they must go to the Moon themselves. Cyan announces that the marbles will go a mission to the Moon to retrieve the statue and find the source of the corruption. Although the mission is dangerous, the powered-up spacesuits that the brave marbles are wearing should be enough to accomplish the mission. The other marbles cheer and blast off into space.

Suddenly, the marbles remember that Keppel and Zomp are missing. Then, they recall the events of 'The ENIGMA', and Blue reveals that if Keppel and Zomp died, they would have been revived at the lab. They decide not to search for now since they need the statue. Wheel thinks they have been blasted to the northern continent, but an outraged Cornflower does not think so. Orange, however, refutes, saying magic can do many things. The rocket lands on the Moon, which is still being ripped apart. Yellow notices a glitch, beginning the sixth set of battles.

After Glitch, Venefica and a corrupted Destroyer have been defeated, the marbles are still enraged that the Moon is still being eaten. Unfortunately for them, they will have to enter the 'black hole' to find out what's really going on—it is their only option. Suddenly, Purple notices a corrupted version of herself, which she mistakens as a clone. Corrupt Purple glitches out the boss intro before her battle begins.

After Corrupt Purple's defeat, the remaining 65 marbles enter the 'black hole', much to Magenta's dismay. As it turns out, the 'black hole' was actually a portal to The Void, where Overlord lives. He has been trapped and has been seeking freedom, but the marbles have been preventing him from being free. Blue finally figures out that Overlord was behind all the anomalies. The final battle begins.

After a long and grueling battle, fifteen marbles survive, although they are tired. They then do a survival round, which is just a simulation. In the end, Yellow wins. Two days later, everyone is revived, and Cyan starts the second Awards Ceremony.

## Mechanics

* **Marble HP** is a system where marbles can take multiple hits on enemy attacks without getting killed. Marbles are also invulnerable to attacks for 5 seconds when hit by one, preventing a quick loss of health. All marbles start with 20 health points, and marbles are killed when they have 0.
* **Attacks** are obstacles that the marbles must avoid in order to not lose health. There are three types of attacks in this Siege:
	+ **Single** attacks activate once the enemy's health drops below a certain value.
	+ **Recurring** attacks activate at a specific interval.
* Marbles now deal damage based on their speed, replacing **Marble Damage**.
* The **Damage Multiplier** is a number that multiplies the damage dealt by the marbles.
* **Power-ups** are objects that give specific benefits to the marbles. They spawn anywhere in the arena for every 20 seconds and activate once a marble touches them. Four power-ups return:
	+ **Sword** summons one of Green's swords (Toxicut, Hellslash, Aquaria or Flarer) and deals ~80 damage to the boss.
	+ **Clone** spawns 10 clones of the marble, each with 2 HP and without tracers. They last until the end of the battle.
	+ **Morale Boost** doubles damage for ten seconds.
	+ **Heal** restores one HP to and removes all status effects from nearby marbles. Heal and Cure have been combined into one power-up as Cure barely did anything on its own. Heal will also appear if a marble is Doomed.
	+ Power-ups that do not return:
		- **Portal** teleported marbles to the beginning of the course to avoid being attacked. This power-up does not return as it ruined the excitement of attacks and was already difficult to implement.
		- **Summon** dealt 30 times the current Marble Damage to the enemy. This power-up does not return as there are no allies yet. Sword replaces Summon as the damage-dealing power up.
		- **Overclock** does not return, as there is no artillery.
		- **Cure** was combined with Heal as it barely did anything on its own.
* **Marble Status Effects** are effects that give specific drawbacks on the marbles that have it. They occur when a marble gets hit by a specific attack and are distinguishable by colored rings. All four status effects return:
	+ **Poison** deals one damage every five seconds for 15 seconds. This effect cannot kill a marble.
	+ **Chill** constantly slows down the marbles. Lasts until the end of the battle.
	+ **Stun** freezes marbles in place for 15 seconds. Marbles do not have collision when stunned.
	+ **Doom** kills the marble after 30 seconds regardless of HP.
* **Arenas** are open and require the marbles to touch the enemy in order to attack instead of entering into an Attack Zone. They also do not teleport back into spawn when they touch the enemy.
* Before a boss, marbles must fight three **enemies**. Most enemies are weaker than bosses and only have one attack each.
