# Storyline

The game starts off with a narration of what happened in the previous games.

### MO1 and Mo2's story

"There was a young man in a village who loved social network games. His name was Marikin. He played gacha games day after day, each time being repeatedly killed. One day, an incident occurred. His best friend, Bachikin suddenly established a chocolate factory. The factory began to produce chocolate that could give horrible demonic powers, day and night. It was called "Flying Chocolate". Sadly, Marikin's friends took this horrible chocolate, one after another, falling down the path of evil. Inspired by the goddess Daeru, Marikin went to the chocolate factory to stop her, accompanied by his former friends, Jack and Sigkin.

Through physical means, they released the brainwashed and fallen friends who appeared along the way. They finally reached the factory, and Bachikin was defeated fearlessly. However, the real enemy was the goddess Daeru, who whispered a message and made the chocolate factory what Yo-People(?) faced. How, she is the goddess, it was the right of greed to eat people's luck(?). Her purpose was to flatten the luck of many people, including Marikin, who was famous as a 'Billing King', promising enormous luck and desire in exchange for their permanent death.

However, Marikin's greed wasn't small enough for her to contain. As a result, Daeru was overwhelmed by the desire she wanted and destroyed herself. After that, people worshipped the incarnation of "*greed*" who defeated this god. Thus, people's gacha luck was protected, and the hero of this world, Marikin, was born."

### MO3's story

"3 years had passed. Jack felt uncomfortable, the heroes, including Marikin, had disappeared. Jack came to mind and went out on a journey to find Adukin, who had come home from a part-time job, and set out to find new friends and Marikin. As soon as the journey began, Jack began to hear rumors of how the former chocolate factory had established a new country, the "Delicious Flour Empire". The empire was so powerful that many countries succumbed to it. Jack thought something was up, and headed to the empire's headquarters.

In the eyes of Jack, the former hero, Marikin, seemed to have turned into a general of this Delicious Flour Empire. What appeared as a villain to him was his best friend, who had to lay down and submit to the old hero...'Defeat them and wake up Marikin' Jack and his friends swore so. However, that general was not Marikin. It was Sigkin, one of the old heroes who worshipped the absolute power of the goddess of desire, Daeru. However, after discovering the crisis, the true, hero Marikin, who had been hidden, appeared. Sigkin was surprised.

After a fierce battle, Jack and others sought after Sigkin, but it was ineffective. "*He's useless, bachi..."* Bachikin's voice, the chief behind the fallen Sigkin, was pulled out without knowing it's meaning. She hid behind the scenes, using the easy-to-handle Sigkin as a puppet to admit herself until confronting the hero. From the distorted feeling of trying to give in to the heroes who have ridiculed themselves...

However, in front of the heroes, even with the powerful power and ambition of Bachikin, the bubbles disappeared. Bachikin, defeated, shook her feet in sorrow and fell from a high place, but at that moment, Jack reached out his hand. It had been he who had been foolish of her. Jack whispered to Bachikin, "My friend." , refusing to let her die. He regretted his own deeds without thinking about his surroundings, and forgave all her wrongdoing.

Thus, many of those who shook the world returned to their original, peaceful days over time..."

The happy music that was playing alongside the narration fades away, and the screen fades to black, as some credits appear ("Screenplay by Sigkin, Composition by Axez"). A depiction of what seems to be a burning castle appears, then fades again to black, as some dialogue appears on the lower screen saying ".*..Oh... I hate... You... HATE!!!!!*" It cuts to Sigkin waking up abruptly, with birds chirping in the background. Sigkin's dialogue appears, saying "*...morning.*"

The player controls Sigkin as they start off in the location of his house, standing on a bed. The player exits the house and eventually meets up with Bachikin and talks with her. If you try and leave the area, which is called *Headquarters*, Bachikin will call out to you and prevent you from leaving until you talk to her.

## **Ch.1**

Five years have passed since the turmoil of the “Delicious Flour Empire” (MO3), with the Ikenumas spreading out to help with reconstruction of other regions demolised by the Empire. **Sigkin** and **Bachikin** were rebuilding their hometown  Souhonzan, they demolished the old castle since it was too expensive to maintain. Bachikin asks Sigkin to go to a nearby village called Naname Village to maybe get some help with their building. As Sigkin heads out, they both are ambushed by a Homobi Robot.

After they fight it off, the OP movie plays. Sigkin and Bachikin chat how it's technically impossible due to the fact that the chocolate factory is currently defunct and have no idea where the homobi robot came from. They decided to go to **Koritora**’s house to ask him about the robot. Koritora talks with them about the robot and how their communications was severed a couple of weeks ago, he then decides to hand them "something like a smartphone" so they can keep in touch. Koritora tells them he can't really go since he has stuff with the head of the villager and tells the two to meet up with **Otsukin**

Going to Naname village, Sigkin and Bachikin meet up with Otsukin in his house. A bit of back and forth later, they go to the head villager's house to discuss about reconstruction and the robot in the forest. Leaving the village, the two go to Kusogaki Forest. Along the way, they fight a Fanta Cobra, with Sigkin and Bachikin learning new skills ["*Swoosh*" and "*Butt-hole Gattling*"]. In the deepest part of the forest, they find a robot called "*Plutulun tulun*". They investigate it with Bachikin suddenly approaching it, triggering a battle.

Having overheard what happened, Otsukin quickly runs over, asks if everybody is ok and checks on the deactivated robot. Inside, they find **Axez** and **Eclair** who were supposed to be working on rebuilding Naname Village, being used as batteries. They take the unconscious duo to Naname’s inn and discuss their next movements. Otsukin joins the party in an effort to investigate what's going on.

## **Ch.2**

Wanting to confirm the safety of their friends, they decided to go to Nitetsu Port Town. Sigkin and Bachikin exit the inn, with Otsukin waiting for them, who joins the party. Leaving the village, the village major hands Sigkin a Revive Magic Agent. Crossing the bridge, they head into Nitetsu Port Town. When they tried to go on the boat, they were turned down, and so they decided to head to Uri-Rays to look for **O’ Saar**, the owner of said boat.

However, upon entering Yurizarino Castle, a Homobi-type robot ambushes the party. After being told O'Saar is currently somewhere else, they are directed to Arasa Pyramid. Exploring the place while avoiding traps, the three meet O’ Saar in the deepest part of the pyramid. They talk about the engravings on the walls, showing an ancient weapon and what seems to be Homobi type robots. It foretells the destruction of the world and how it was held back. They talk about the big thing which is apparently Catastrophe in ancient times.

Exiting the pyramid and going back to Nitetsu Port Town, the party can now talk to O’ Saar in the harbour and board the boat. While getting to Banana Land, the boat suddenly gets attacked. Checking it out, a "*Lily Caroline*" robot is seen attacking them. Defeating it, they find **Kashikin** and **Zakuro** within it. The party takes the two back to the inn in Uri Rayss.

## **Ch.3**

Getting back to the ship and talking with O’ Saar again, he hands Sigkin a World Map. With no interruptions during the boat ride, the party gets to Goriuho Dock. Moving from that, they then get to Sabreak.

Entering a shop called “Maidon Lunch”, they unexpectedly meet Marikin, who was working there part-time. Initially angry that his friends didn’t visit more often, the ability to eat food and gain buffs are now unlocked, the first time being free.

During the conversation, Marikin says that he called for help from a good friend of his, who most likely was already waiting for them, that being **Syumitaro**. Going to the inn and talking with all the guests, they meet Syumitaro, who unexpectedly was tiny. Sigkin explains what’s been happening so far, with Syumitaro explaining that while he does want to help, if he uses his usual strength, everything might be obliterated, thus he shrank himself.

Asking about their friends, Syumitaro says that he spotted a robot in Rolling Mountains, but due to poor visibility via blizzard, he couldn’t get a good look at it. He agrees to help and to get rid of the robot before the people in the towns panic. During the climb, they can take a break at Zange Village. When getting to the top of the mountains, Syumitaro notices a strange glow nearby. Sigkin investigates it, only for a Cyclops robot to burst out and initiate a fight. Defeating it, they discover **Uie** and **Fukuro** inside the robot.

The party then encounters **???**, starting a fight. They easily defeat Sigkin, Otsukin and Bachikin, but notices that even though he was holding back, Syumitaro didn’t break a sweat. The person leaves, telling the party that his name is **Morikaze**, with Sigkin shortly passing out. While Morikaze warns MDCR about Syumitaro, but the head of MDCR is more interested in the person who uses a scythe.

## **Ch.4**

Getting both Fukuro and Uie to the inn and Sigkin waking up, the party goes to check on Jack and Adukin. They head back to Goriuho Dock, to Nitetsu Port Town, to Sekisho and into Fucking Berry. Going to Carrot Town, Sigkin asks about Fusakin. Syumitaro says that Fusakin left to train in blacksmithing and hasn’t been able to contact him. Going through Sumanu Mountains and into Masterbe Town, Sigkin asks around to all the residents. Talking to the landlady in the Masterbe Hot Sping Inn, the party finds Jack who is lounging around playing an erotic game on his phone.

A frustrated Sigkin beats up Jack, then asks about Adukin’s whereabouts. He says that she told him that she was going to Unatsu Ruins to get a new job and hasn't seen her since. Going there, they discover that the entrance was blocked, opting to use a secret entrance instead. Exploring the area, they eventually come across Adukin’s personal belongings in front of Unatsu Ruins. Entering through the door, the party encounters Ven Kinako, who initiates a fight.

## **Ch.5**

Now knowing that Adukin is in MDCR, Jack officially joins the party. They head towards Thorotto to gather information, and staying overnight at the inn, they meet up with Koritora. Koritora provides some information about MDCR, but during that, the town suddenly gets attacked by a bunch of Homobi type robots. The group quickly heads out to dispatch them, eventually fighting BTT Mk=2. Sigkin goes on to lead BTT Mk=2 away as it self-destructs. The large explosion caused a moment of shock as Sigkin might’ve died, but that wasn’t the case and Sigkin flies out with a rescued **Taiyo** and **Arakawa**. After that the group and Koritora decide to meet up at the inn in Thorotto with Taiyo and Arakawa resting in bed. Koritora tells them about stuff he's found out about MDCR. He tells them of a place called Gapeni that MDCR gives it services to, Sigkin points out he literally destroyed Gapeni literally 5 years ago. Stuff is happening. As they talk about stuff Arakawa suddenly wakes up having surpisingly recovered very quickly. She tells them of her visit to the Gapeni ruins to find out if the rumors about ghosts were true and ended up getting posessed. When she was possesed she saw flashbacks of the ghost during the time Sigkin pillaged the place. This leads to everybody questioning Sigkin but he refuses to say anymore. Suddenly they hear a noise outside, this leads everybody except the kind of tired Arakawa to go outside and investigate. It turns out MDCR sent more robots to kill them. Everybody then beats up all the robots and Thorotto is saved.

## **Ch.6**

The event ended up causing Thorotto to be half destroyed. Koritora joins the party, deciding to go to Gapanese City in order to investigate MDCR. A mysterious person interrupts the screens in the city and talks to Sigkin, stuff happens. After exiting the city they head towards MDCR headquarters. When they do, however, they meet **Gou Kirimi**, and are quickly defeated by his Hell Houndskai. Before being killed off, Marikin jumps in and saves the party, with the help of Syumitaro.

## **Ch.7**

Sigkin was way more wounded than the others, ending up being severely ill and was unconscious for 3 days. His powers were in a state where he couldn’t use it properly. With Sigkin being awake, Marikin brings the group to the Forgotten Mausoleum to meet someone. That someone turned out to be Fusakin, who has gained a human body. He explains that in MO3, he did feel like there was a lack of power. With enough training, he manages to get himself a body but with the drawback of being stuck inside the Mausoleum as some sort of "curse". He gives Sigkin a list of materials to get in order to create an item that would help in defeating MDCR.

### *Pt. Bachikin*

She goes to Naname Village, going into the inn to meet up with the now conscious Eclair and Axez. They need “*Sewage mineral water*” for the thing, it seems that it comes from the village's underground sewage system. They visit the town major to get the key to the sewers.

Going into the sewers, the three check all places where water is flowing, with the only way to test by drinking the water, eventually obtaining the “Sewage Natural Water.” When going back to the entrance, they suddenly encounter the “Mecha Mecha Corps”. The Corps demands that they fight them first to see if they are worthy of the water. Defeating them, they go back to the inn.

### *Pt. Otsukin*

Otsukin visits Uri Rays for “Golden Stick and Ball”, asking help from Kashikin and Zakro. It is rumored that there is treasure at the bottom of Arasa Pyramid, and so they go into Yurisarino Castle to ask O’ Saar. Going into the pyramid, they head down stairs that lead to a basement. Getting the item and exiting the pyramid, the three exit to see that the town is being invaded by Homobi-type robots. Otsukin uses cannons to destroy all the robots, and in case one manages to get through, Kashikin and Zakro will quickly dispose of them.

### *Pt. Syumitaro*

Syumitaro visits Saburek, being tasked with getting help from Fukuro and Uie in order to get Metapome fur. Waking the two up (with a Shota Note and a banana), he asked where they could get Metapome fur. Fukuro refused to say, but Uie says it’s in Paradise of Pomeranian, up in the depths of Rolling Mountain. Heading there, Syumitaro uncovers the spot, and starts exploring the area.

Once they get to the Paradise of Pomeranian, Uie and Syumitaro get strictly told that they can’t harm the Metapomes, which they were slightly annoyed about, but agrees to use scissors. Trying to do that, they end up only getting a small bit. They then suddenly encounter the “Meta Pome King”. Defeating it, Syumitaro cuts it, getting all the fur they need while reducing the king to a small size to not harm them anymore.

### *Pt. Jack*

Visiting Carrot Town, he witnesses a long line and an announcement that the Strawberry Daifuku is on the verge of selling out. And it only arrives once a year. Jack said it was easy to win. Activating his Vision, he manages to push through all the people and buy one, getting chased out shortly after.

After clearing the four parts, Koritora’s part will be available.

### *Pt. Koritora*

Going to Masterbe Town for his material, Bachikin and Jack, who had already got their materials, and Sigkin, who helped rebuild Thorotto, joins Koritora. He was worried about the whereabouts of Sigkin, him just saying that he returned consciousness and went somewhere. For the time being, the party decides to go to Enlightenment Yashiro to obtain “*Sage Mode Stone*” from the Shrine. They go inside the Shrine's caves, having to solve multiple puzzles and riddles and find the stone. The stone has the ability to suck people's will like Maidonium so they put it in a capsule so they won't be affected.

Then the party encounters Ven once again. Ven comes out with a new weapon designed for her and says she'll finally prove herself to Jeraldy. She also states that she hasn't been treated that well at her job. She takes out her Ven Buggy (a toilet shaped buggy with Ven in the middle on a cross while there is fire under her). After defeating her, the party leaves the scene after Venki tells them about some stuff.

## **Ch.8**

The party returns to Fusakin’s dojo to retrieve the remaining materials. However, the residents of Naname Village, who should have helped with the reconstruction, were not found. They all decided to look for the Pendent Recipe with worry.

Going through the main mountain and unlocking the underground library, they find the recipe in no time. On their way back, the party encounters **Jungle Takahashi**, with Sigkin forcing to reveal his new dark powers. Even though Sigkin says that it’s between him and Jeraldy, the others refuse, and the party fights Jungle. He escapes afterwards, and the group returns to Fusakin’s dojo.

## **Ch.9**

Fusakin works on the Liberation Pendent, and Sigkin recollects on the events of MO3, and how he met Jeraldy. Afterwards, Fusakin and Marikin challenge them to a battle (not to kill them, of course). Defeating them, Fusakin says that he already asked a specialist about Catastrophe, aka O’Saar.

Flashback to where Syumitaro, Fusakin and O’Saar are discussing about Catastophe. O’Saar states it’s possible for the Catastrophe to spit out souls its Maidonium has collected. To do that, they must have another Maidonium to transfer those souls into the Maidonium they’re going to use. But in order to absorb the required amount of souls, someone needs to have a reasonable amount of “priming” beforehand to transfer them into the Maidonium. Unsure if they have enough power to do so, Syumitaro offers to use his soul to do so, as not only is his soul different from an ordinary one, but to also protect everyone.

After the discussion, Marikin decides to officially join the party. He wants to keep watch of Sigkin to make sure he doesn't do anything odd.

## **Ch.10**

When about to go back to MDCR Headquarters, Axez contacts Sigkin, the party going to Omori City. The whereabouts of Taiyo was unknown, with Sigkin saying as such. Arakawa comes out of a room and tells him that Taiyo was at “Fwan Sowa”. Arakawa also joins the party.

Not finding Taiyo in Fwan Sowa Academy the headmaster tells them that he's somewhere on the east of the continent. Then the party goes through Sekigo Cave and finds a hut on the outskirts of the city. They find Taiyo who is very focused on his studies and refuses to join them as he wants to study more and become the next headmaster of Fwan Sowa. The party goes into a “battle” with Taiyo. After getting hit by a book that fell on his head, he went back to his former normal self 5 years ago (MO3) which also causes him to lose all his knowledge he gained during those years. Taiyo obliges and joins them in their journey.

Returning to Axez’s house, it is now possible to change party members from the 15 numas (though Sigkin and Bachikin cannot be removed from the party since they're essential in the plot).

## **Ch.11**

Leaving Omori City, Marikin gives Sigkin a Sage Mode Wand. At this point, the player should train their desired characters, as it’s getting to the final stretch of the main story.

Getting to Gapanese City, it is immediately clear that it was on alert. Thoughout exploring the area, different Homobi Cannons and mercenaries will attack the party. Unlocking the door leading to the main head office of MDCR, the party will enounter a Hellhoundskai.

Continuing on, the protags go through a theme area, which eventually leads to a battle with Morikaze. He asks one thing before his final battle. He proposes to Kouhai-chan who immediately rejects him as he has sexually harassed her at work and is in fact very happy that he's going to die, encouraging the Ikenumas to kill him. Morikaze, very heartbroken after the whole ordeal goes into his second phase, “Homobi Euphonium”.

Shortly after, you fight Jungle in the Green Techno world area. He calls his "mom" which in fact summons a giant robot that looks like Jungle's mom.

Then you fight Gou with his Hell Hound. After the first fight he brings out his "Megaladon" as shark shaped robot. After defeating him again he explodes. Syumi-san points out that it wasn't really Gou as it was actually a decoy robot.

After exiting the area the party will find themselves in a giant yard of robots. You pilot one of the robots to go through the entire yard to find Jeraldy. Having reached the control center they can see all the robots. Jeraldy then suddenly appears telling them all that he'll explode all the robots since they're all useless. Then suddenly O'Saar appears with his helicopter to escort them out of the collapsing building.

## **Ch.12**

After escaping an explosion with the help of O’Saar, the party returns to the reconstructed main mountain and is told that Catastrophe was set up on “Gapanese Hope Island”. Only 3 hours until the “Super dreadnought Ikenuma annihilation cannon” that will burn half of the world will launch. The final battle begins to protect the world and his friends.

It takes a while to go through all the buildings. Ven gives them her card somewhere through and then says good bye again. Syumitaro talks about how they need to be quick so that they can do the soul sucking thing with Maidonium. Suddenly the group gets attacked by an unknown person with a strange helmet. Defeating them, it’s revealed that it's Adukin. She calls upon “Vanitas”, a large beast that was first seen back with Ven. Adukin then goes inside "Vanitas", becoming it's core.

In the middle of the fight, Bachikin uses the Liberation Pendant, summoning a red knight person. Said person was Fusakin, who explained that before he got his human body, he went to Unatsu Ruins. He had a glimpse of Vanitas still being worked on, getting the curse there. When getting his body, he was also cursed, unable to leave that general area.
The party starts fighting Vanitas properly. Defeating it, Jack calls out to Adukin, reminding her of their memories and such. He apologises to her for what he has done. He hasn't noticed how stressed and unhappy Adukin was and that he should've tried making her happy. Jack cries. Jack falls as Vanitas begins to move but before it's blade could close enough to kill him Adukin snaps out of it and starts crying herself. Stating that she just wanted everything to be like it was before. She wanted everybody to happy and wanted to be free of work.

Jeraldy, a bit annoyed that Vanitas has been "defeated" laughs and points out that he has bought some time for the Catastrophe to charge it's laser. Then Jeraldy calls on a bunch of robots to help him. Then they all fight Jeraldy.

Getting defeated, Jeraldy goes into Catastrophe. Sigkin and friends have run out of time to do the soul transfer with Maidonium. That’s when suddenly, Syumitaro, who grows very large, takes on Catastrophe. The Maidonium managed to suck a lot of power from Catastrophe. Syumitaro having not prepared enough for his transformation into big Syumi becomes small again, but tells them to keep on fighting.

Jeraldy enters the “soul” area, attaching himself into that large red Maidonium.

Sigkin talks with the group, telling them they should go away as the problem is only between him and Jeraldy, but the others refused as they too should bear Sigkin's sins or something. Catastrophe then summons a bunch oh Hell Hounds, but then suddenly everybody else appears to help defeat all the hell hounds. Sigkin then hatches a plan to destroy Catstrophe, by using the Maidonium he could use it's power to destroy Catastrophe making them even. Fusakin gives him a coat he made for Sigkin seeing that he'll need it. Sigkin flies into the air chasing after Catastophe. *The final battle begins.*

Using the power of friendship and overcoming his corrupted counterpart and realising darkness is not evil or something, Sigkin transforms into his darkness world form. After some intense battling Sigkin use Spirits of HellFlame and transforms into his HellFlame form. After the two hit each other with their most powerful moves they explode and both fall into the ocean below. The Ikenumas look up to the sky seeing the explosion, they've fought as much Hell Hounds as they could but a lot of them are going away to self destruct other towns. Everybody decides to run away for now as the explosion will cause large tidal waves. O'Saar looks out the window and sees a Hell Hound. He braces for the explosion about to occur, but the Hell Hounds stop as they weren't given any more instructions after Catastrophe's destruction. Sigkin reverts back to normal as he has used up all his energy. With the last of his strength, Jeraldy tries to strangle the unconscious Sigkin. That’s when his parent’s voices call out to him telling him they are satisfied. Jeraldy stops, sparing Sigkin, then succumbs to his wounds and dies.

Sigkin washes up on a beach and has a talk with Ven. Ven arranges for him to be sent to the nearest city to be taken care of. It's been days after the battle.

## **Epilogue**

A few weeks after the battle with Jeraldy, the Ikenumas had successfully completed the reconstruction of all the towns, and are preparing to move back to their hometown, Sohonzan. The Hell Hounds that were across the land are inactive after Catastrophe was destroyed. Fusakin also neutralizes Vanitas, getting released from his curse, but the essential Vanitas disappeared from the island and its current location is unknown.

With many questions and mysterious left, the turmoil ended for the time being, and they enjoyed a moment of peace. Expect for a certain Ikenuma who hadn’t returned yet.

Bachikin, after a brief meeting with everyone, goes to Gapeni in search of Sigkin, as Syumitaro has heard about him being seen there. After a brief talk with Kouhai-chan in Maidon Lunch she heads to what's left of the MDCR Headquarters. Bachikin finds Sigkin and asks him to come home, after they talk Sigkin tells her that he'll come back later. Sigkin placing down flowers on the bridge, next to his scouter, in remembrance of Jeraldy.

All the other ikenumas are waiting for him at Sohonzan and greet him when he comes. Eveybody is very happy when Sigkin arrives, especially Bachikin.

Sigkin tells them all *"I'm home"*.

Or is it?
