PD 3.5: Ultimate Alien MEGATRIX

PD 3.5: Ultimate Alien MEGATRIX is the third episode of a meta complementary project for Project Deca. The following events are completely non-canon to the series and should be treated as such.

Episode
The episode's cast were all standing together in the hall of the power planet from the end of the episode, each holding a script and all of them glaring squarely at Theo.

"...I'm sensing hostility." Theo coughed.

"You took over the entire episode!" Attai snapped.

"This story was supposed to revolve around ME!" Purponite complained.

"I barely got to show off how cool the MEGA aliens are!" Ben whined.

"The MEGA aliens actually suck, but that's neither here nor there." Attai interjected.

"Excuse me?!"

"No." Attai tsked. "They're just simplistic power boosts. They don't add anything new to your powerset, they just give you extra energy and turn you gold. Hell, in the original, they didn't even change your appearance."

"So it's basically a worse Kaio-ken." Millennia mused.

"Kaio-what?"

"Back to the point," Purponite interrupted. "You came in out of nowhere and stole the plot!"

"Not out of nowhere." Theo tapped the script he was holding. "As an Anodite villain seeking ultimate power, it made perfect sense to associate you with the Mask of Simul. It just so happened that I-or Aeron, rather-was in possession of the mask at the time in the wider multiversal canon."

"How?"

"Well, originally, Orion from Tech 10: Star Spirit found it hidden in an Aztec temple and used it to give himself ultimate power, then broke the mask and tossed it." Theo recounted. "After that, Aeron used Clockwork to restore the mask and take off with it, with the ultimate plan being to use Ascendant Clockwork to restore-"

"We don't need the entire story." Kevin interrupted. "I feel like you're leading into something too big to cover here."

"Eh, kind of?" Theo shrugged. "This was all originally supposed to go down in Star Spirit's third season, but it was put on hiatus and eventually canceled."

"Why?" Gwen asked.

"JoJo references."

"JoJo references?" Ben looked confused.

"JoJo references." Attai nodded, reading the script. "Speaking of which, apparently that's why the Mask of Simul had its appearance changed at the start of the episode."

"Huh?"

"Originally, the Mask of Simul was meant to be made of rock, making it superficially resemble the Stone Masks from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure." Theo explained. "This was retconned for Project Deca to avoid further comparisons."
