[So, wait, did I just go to beyond-the-impossible exertion of inner power to fight Wily's troops only to be captured and tortured by Smiledog only to escape and kill Smiledog myself...
FOR NOTHING? D:
I'm with Arch on this one. Why don't we just leave everything as it is and just let things go back to normal? Just have fun, don't plan anything out, let it all work itself out. I'm getting tired of all this moaning and arguing over nothing. Why don't we just start a new topic or something and leave this as an archive of what came before?

As Lucky carefully made his way through the corridor, wary of any potential guard robots that might be lurking about, he could sense an ominous force in his presence. He knew instantly what it meant.
"Hello, my boy~!"
Deathwatch gave Lucky a viscious glare that bored into his very soul and then stamped on it. Vehemently, he grabbed his hand around the lad's throat and hoisted him up to his own eye level.
"You wretched imbecile! What was all that about? Was all your training for nothing?"
"Hey," Lucky choked, "I...managed...to...get out...right...?"
Deathwatch said nothing, just grunted and dropped Lucky to the ground again. Eventually, he grumbled, "More training."
"Well, I'm afraid we can't stick around for long, my boy."
"Huh?" said Lucky, rubbing his elbow, "Why not?"
"Times are changing, you see. We can't stay around for long." Blackmore gripped a piece of the air, then ripped a large gash in dimensional space. "Come along, my boy! Set your sails for new horizons, for many a new adventure awaits us!"
Lucky, though confused and a little dazed, nodded his head and followed the two villains through the portal.
As one door closes, another one opens.
