Greetings Doctor Gibbons and Doctor Pires, Mega Radioactive and Mega Gold, your reputation is legendary and songs of your exploits are heard across space and time. It is an honor to bring this message to you personally.

You may refer to me as Azul. I am a Koda. I, along with my siblings, help keep order in the space between planets, stars, and other celestial bodies.

For much time, I have been in search of the fabled Mega Mutants, though it has been a nearly impossible task to find them throughout the infinite expanse of the metaverse. Only now have I been able to link them to this location, as the use and enhancement of their powers in recent weeks have synthesized a concentration of intense energy that has echoed across the metaverse and reached my home location.

But it is imperative for me to inform you that I have not been the only one to sense this. You see, my dear sibling has been taken prisoner by a shadowy dark force. This same force seems to have also felt the energy and seized the opportunity to use my sibling’s power and take the other Mega Mutants as prisoners. That is the cause of their disappearance.

I can only guess why the two of you were spared. Perhaps since your mutations occurred farther in the past, you have developed more stability and resistance to such forces. Or, I fear, you may be the next targets. Either way, we are in danger, all of us. The dark force now has more power than anyone else in the metaverse, as they will seek to use the power of six Mega Mutants and a Mega Koda for their dark purposes.

All of our collective actions have led us to this precise moment in time. Please believe me when I say this is the most important inflection point in all of our timelines and what we choose to do today will ripple across all of space and time. Please. Will you join me to stop the dark one and save your Mega Mutant friends and my beloved sibling? It is imperative. You are our only hope.
