Agree, especially since they said they were aiming for an Advent Children look for the game. Still, it's too early, and hopefully the graphics get improved.
Here's a new cinematic released, revealing that for the first time in the series, dialogue options will be a part of the game: Pretty neat addition imo.
So they're going with a KH/FFXV style battle system. Interesting. I can already imagine people being angry about this change lol.
~Eddy's Home~ As Eddy was alone in his room, taking a nap, the following silliness happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Rose's Home~ Arriving outside Rose Tyler's home in his car, John Smith honked on his car to signal to Rose that he was here. "Coming!" Rose replied as she stepped out of her front door, and rushed towards the car... "Ready Miss Tyler?" John asked. "Ready, Mr. Smith," Rose replied as she got in the car, "So, where are we going?" "Oh, I know this great by the harbor. You'll love it," Smith replied as he drove off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Inside the Bus~ As the Bus was flying over Japan, Skye was sitting alone, pondering the recent events in which she found out dark secrets involving her father. "You okay?" Shining Armor said as he approached Skye... "Yeah..." Skye replied, nodding. "Mind if I have a seat?" the pony asked, with Skye scooching over for the J.I.A. general to sit next to her. "How's the 0-8-4?" Skye asked. "It's secure. Don't worry about it," Shining Armor replied. "Right," Skye replied. "Look, if there's anything you want, we're here for you, Skye," Shining Armor told Skye. "Thanks, Shining," Skye replied, finally displaying a smile on her face. "May says we're landing soon," Alan said as he arrived to the area where Skye and Shining Armor were... "The Cavalry has spoken," Skye commented, referring to May by her nickname, 'The Cavalry'. "Don't... don't call her that," Shining Armor told Skye. "Why not? Didn't she get the nickname after shooting around 100 bad guys in Bahrain?" Skye asked, "Well, at least that's what I heard. And it's pretty badass. I don't see why she wouldn't like it." "That's not how it went down," Shining Armor replied as Alan leaned against a wall, and listened, "She didn't have a gun. None of us did. And it wasn't a rescue or an assault, or whatever the rumors say these days. We were the welcome wagon. And it went south." "How many..." Skye asked before being interrupted by the pony. "Plenty," the J.I.A. general instantly replied, "A civilian girl and a few of our guys were stuck inside a building, being held by the followers of this strange individual... or worshippers. We never found out." "May did," Skye wondered out loud, with Shining Armor nodding in reply. "She took it upon herself to get them out. Said she could fix the problem. So she went in, crossed off the enemy force. Didn't say how," Shining Armor continued. "Did she lose anyone in there?" Skye asked. "Herself," Shining Armor responded, "May used to be different. She was always quiet, she just... she was warm. Fearless in a different way, getting in trouble, pulling pranks, thought rules were meant to be broken. Sound familiar? But when she walked out of that building... it was like that part of her was gone. I tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't tell me what went down in there." "What did you say?" Skye asked. "I said the words I thought she needed to hear," Shining Armor replied. "It's why you want her on the plane... why you made her a part of this team... to see if that person is still in there somewhere," Skye guessed, with Shining Armor simply smiling in response. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "Watching the show is all the help I believe the Muppets need," Jack replied before thinking of an idea, "Although, if you really want to help, there is one thing you can do. Operators will be sitting over at that balcony section right over there." Jack then pointed to a balcony section on the theater's left-side, very close to the stage, with all the seats containing a telephone in front of them. "Being a telethon, people will be calling to make donations," Sparrow continued, "And all the operators involved are strictly volunteers. So, the more volunteers helping take calls, the better it is for the Muppets. Sounds like a plan, savvy?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tsukino Household~ "Alrighty, everyone's got their seat belts fastened?" Kenji asked. "Yup," Rini replied while Sammy nodded. "Perfect," Ikuko said, "Next stop... the Muppet theater!" Kenji then started the car, and started driving away. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo National Bank~ Stepping out of his van, and watching as it drove away, Shan-Yu noticed the Tokyo National Bank building in front of him. Looking closely, Shan-Yu recognized a couple of his henchmen standing in different spots around the bank, ready for his signal to start the attack. Looking up, Shan-Yu noticed his S-type ally, Lash, standing at the roof of the bank... Nodding to the S-type, Lash nodded back to Shan-Yu. 'Perfect... everything's all set,' Shan-Yu thought to himself as he snapped his fingers. His henchmen then took out their AK-47 rifles, and marched into the bank with Shan-Yu. "NOBODY MOVE!" Shan-Yu yelled as he entered, with his henchmen shooting their rifles at the ceiling, causing everyone inside to scream in fear, "THIS PLACE IS BEING HIJACKED BY THE HUNS. DO AS YOU'RE TOLD, AND NO ONE GETS HURT!" "Freeze!" a security guard cried, pointing his gun at Shan-Yu. Looking at the security guard, Shan-Yu simply grinned. "I said fre-" the security guard cried before being hit by an energy blast from behind, disintegrating his chest and killing him. As the security officer's body collapsed, the killer was revealed to be Lash. "Perfect timing," Shan-Yu told the S-type, "Come let me show you the vault." Shan-Yu then led Lash to the back of the building while his henchmen were pointing their weapons at everyone in the bank to make sure no one got out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Chinatown - Crystal Order Hideout~ Feeling his phone vibrate, Shay took it out, reading a message that was sent to him. "How do you like that? Shan-Yu and Lash have already taken over the bank," Shay commented. "Then I suppose it's time I took the girl there," Jadeite replied as he carried Aerith and teleported away. "Poor girl..." Starlight Glimmer commented before shrugging, "Oh well. C'est la vie." "C'est la vie, indeed," Shay concurred as he crossed his arms, remembering how Chevalier used that same expression with him shortly before betraying the Japanese army in Iraq all those years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank - Vault~ As Shan-Yu and Lash were searching for the exact box they were looking for, they noticed Jadeite entering the vault while carrying Aerith... "This is the girl I heard about?" Lash asked. "Indeed," Shan-Yu replied as he approached Jadeite and Aerith. "Such a pretty thing," Shan-Yu commented as he placed his hand on Aerith's cheek, "Would certainly be a shame if I have no choice but to... cover you in blood, hehe..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ "Now then, where was I?" Yzma questioned after Kronk fell into the trap door. "Look out below!" a voice yelled from above. Looking up, Yzma, Kuzco, and Pacha noticed Silver, his Chikorita, and Don riding on a Salamance that was descending towards them... "Aww yeah!" Kuzco cheered. "Guys, you found us!" Pacha added. "Of course we did, Pacha," Silver replied as his Salamance landed next to Pacha and Kuzco, "So looks like you two found the lab." "Chika!" Silver's Chikorita concurred. "Yeah, but Yzma's got the vial with the potion that can turn me back to human," Kuzco said. "Oh yes, and you'll never pry it from my hands!" Yzma threatened. "We'll see about that," Silver replied as he turned towards his Salamance, "Salamance, Hydro Pump her." Nodding, Salamnce blasted Yzma with a powerful Hydro Pump attack, sending a huge volume of water towards her, causing Yzma to be sent straight to the wall while almost drowning from all the water. Once Salamance ceased with its Hydro Pump attack, the wet Yzma slowly got up from the floor, coughing as she still held on to the vial Kuzco wanted with her left hand. "So, ready to give up the vial now?" Silver questioned. "Oh, you're so despicable!" Yzma angrily replied. "Chika!" Silver's Chikorita cried, noticing something on Yzma's right hand. "What is it, Chikorita?" Silver asked. However, he, along with Kuzco and Pacha noticed what Chikorita was looking at. There appeared to be some make-up on Yzma's right hand that was being washed away from the water from Salamance's attack. And as the make-up came off, it was revealed that on Yzma's right palm was the Crystal Order emblem, shocking Kuzco and the others. "I don't believe it..." a shocked Pacha commented. "No way... y-you were with the Crystal Order this whole time?" Kuzco questioned, still not believing what he was seeing. "Huh?" Yzma replied before noticing that the make-up on her right hand had come off, revealing her true colors, "Well, what can I say, Kuzco... I just couldn't resist the perks." Yzma then smashed a button on the wall, with the wall sliding open to reveal a pillar with three Pokeballs on top of it. Grabbing the Pokeballs, Yzma continued, "This ends now!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Building Rooftop~ Spoiler: BGM The battle with Vanitas raged on, and Katniss figured that it was time to end it once and for all. "Let's team up!" Katniss cried as she locked her Lockseed into her Sonic Arrow and fired a powerful arrow shot towards Vanitas, trapping him in a peach-shaped sphere, where he was assaulted by multiple arrows firing in a row. Hiccup nodded, and followed with an attack by stabbing his Banaspear to the ground and initiating a Sparking attack (which involved a banana-shaped projection attacking Vanitas from under the ground). "PIKACHU!" Haymitch cried as he hit Vanitas with a Tunderbolt attack while Toothless hit Vanitas with a plasma blast. After taking the brunt of the attacks, it seemed that Vanitas, now lying on the floor, had been defeated. "Did we... win?" Hiccup questioned. Just then, Vanitas raised his legs, and acrobatically got back up on his feet, surprising his opponents, who returned to their defensive positions, ready for another attack by him. "Hmph, you win," Vanitas commented, "Consider yourselves on probation." Vanitas then teleported away from the scene, leaving Hiccup and Katniss both relieved and confused. "Probation? For what?" a confused Hiccup thought out loud before turning to face Katniss. Spoiler: BGM "Thanks, I owe ya," Hiccup told Katniss. "Don't mention it," Katniss replied. "But... why did you help me?" Hiccup asked, wondering what made Katniss go against what she told Ron and Sakura. "Truth is, this little guy led me to the battle," Katniss replied, kneeling down to pat Haymitch's head. "Pika!" Haymitch concurred. "Seeing what was happening, my conscience wouldn't feel right leaving you to get hurt," Katniss added, "I promised someone, two other Riders to be more specific, that I would only stick to protecting my home district... District 12. But after what just happened, I now realize... lives need saving wherever you are in the world. I guess you could say I've now realized that there's a lot more to being a Rider than I originally thought." Hearing what Katniss just said brought a smile to Hiccup, who figured that now was the perfect opportunity to ask Katniss to join Zordon. "Well, if you want, you can join me..." Hiccup replied, extending his hand to her, "Me and others like us. To protect those who can't defend themselves. To be part of a team. Whaddya say?" Thinking about it for a moment, Katniss looked at Haymitch as though she wanted to get an approval from him. "Pikachu," Haymitch said, nodding, wanting Katniss to accept Hiccup's offer. "Well, guess we have a deal," Katniss told Hiccup, shaking hands with him. "Perfect," Hiccup replied, "Allow me to teleport us to my team's HQ. I'll even introduce you to this really great guy." "Who?" Katniss asked. "Well, let's just say that he convinced me to embrace my identity as a Rider when I was full of doubts," Hiccup replied as he teleported himself, Katniss, Toothless, and Haymitch over to the Command Center. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ After having judged everyone else's dishes (including Max's, which received mixed reception), Gordon Ramsay and the Swedish Chef arrived at Takeda's table. First trying out the 'Frîsk-Dee Fiishee-Fiishy', Ramsay and the Swedish Chef were both pretty impressed. "Very good," Gordon commented, "Very nice tangy flavor to it." The Swedish Chef nodded in agreement as the two moved on to Takeda's 'Sürstrømmin' Cøsrerool', which was positively received as well. "I reelly leeke-a vhet yuou deed vit zee-a cøsrerool," Swedish Chef told Takeda. "I couldn't agree more," Gordon Ramsay concurred, "Nice work." The duo then tried the final dish, Takeda's 'Pånkåkkør Witte Lingønberry Jåm... wît dee lémønee zestée un vanéella sugár'. "Su guod! Børk Børk Børk!" the Swedish Chef enthusiastically said after trying it out. "He's right," Chef Ramsay added, "Tasty and sweet, and not too sweet that it's inedible. Fantastic job, Takeda. You're free to go." "Time-a tu gu tu zee-a zeeter?" the Swedish Chef asked Gordon Ramsay. "Yes, I believe we should go right now, my friend," Gordon Ramsay replied as he and the Swedish Chef left the room, "Do me a favor Takeda... close the door on your way out." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Courthouse~ Catching the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, Inspector Lee gazed at it while listening to Harold's explanation. "Thank you," Lee replied, bowing down to Harold, "I promise to bring it back to you." "Yes... alright... thank you," Jenny said as she was speaking with someone on the phone, hanging up. "Who dat?" Carter asked, wondering who Officer Jenny was speaking with. "The man whose vault key Shan-Yu is after," Jenny replied, "Megumi Kitaniji. He's agreed to meet us shortly with the key." "Megumi Kita- wait a sec... ain't that da CEO of CAT?" Carter questioned. "Yup. It's him alright," Jenny answered. "I swear, if Shan-Yu kidnapped Aerith jus' for some rare-ass CAT pins, I'mma slap him into anotha nationality," Carter angrily said. "Don't worry Carter, we'll save Aerith," Lee assured Carter. Nodding, Carter patted Lee's shoulder, telling him, "Thanks man." Just then, the police radio on Jenny's motorcycle began making an announcement, "All units, we have reports of the Tokyo National Bank being hijacked by armed and dangerous individuals." Gasping upon hearing the announcement, Jenny commented, "He's started." "And he ain't playin' around," Carter added. Listening to what has happened, Matt began to ponder to himself a bit. "Osha... Osha, Oshawott?" Foggy asked Murdock, wondering what he wants to do. Taking a deep breath, Murdock walked over to Jenny, asking, "Mind if Foggy and I tag along?" "Matt, you sure about this?" Officer Jenny asked the blind demon. "Don't worry. Foggy and I'll be fine," Matt responded. "Oshawott," Foggy concurred. "Anna, Elsa, we have to leave, now," Hans told the two sisters, "We'll be safer in the hotel."
I'll be honest, I'm more disappointed with the fact that a new world wasn't announced as opposed to not getting the trailer. But not disappointed enough to start pointing fingers at Square or Disney. Jump Festa's coming up, so hopefully something will emerge from there. And then there's the possibility that new information might get revealed in Famitsu, Dengeki, or some other magazine when we least expect it.
Season 2 premiere pushed back to January 19th because of the State of the Union Address. #ThanksObama
Pretty much this. Jessiva, it looks like you're enjoying the RP given all those likes you gave out. And that's great. Truly, I'm flattered. But with the RP comes certain rules. As Aki mentioned, the OOC thread is only for the reasons she listed. Once you get to reserve characters, they are your own to do whatever you want with them in the main RP thread. But you cannot post with characters belonging to other RPers. You wanna join in the RP, then get characters who haven't been reserved, and you'll be free to join the rest of us.
Me neither...
~Banks Residence~ While waiting for his father to return from work, Carlton Banks decided to go downstairs and try out something, hoping that no one would see him. The following silliness then happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "Sorry, lads," Jack Sparrow told Rock and Spud as he was heading back to backstage, "Only Muppets will be performing. And special guests as well. Don't take it too bad, I'm not even allowed to perform either." "Wow, this place sure does bring back memories," Waldorf commented as he entered the theater with Statler... "You're right," Statler replied, "Pretty bad memories!" The two old coots then laughed as they made their way to the same spot they would sit countless times years ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ After the wall with the levers flipped, Pacha and Kuzco were falling towards what appeared to be a roller coaster car beneath them. The following then happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "There's the lab!" Kuzco cried as he and Pacha found themselves arriving at a laboratory. "What about Don and Silver?" Pacha asked. "We'll worry about them later. Let's just look for the potion," Kuzco replied. "Alright," Pacha said as their search for the potion to turn Kuzco back into a human started. The following then happened... Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "By all accounts, it doesn't make sense," Kronk continued as he pulled a diagram from out of nowhere, showing the path both groups took back in Porta Vista, with dotted lines on the diagram representing Kuzco and Pacha, who made it out of the coastal city safely and arrived in Tokyo, while dotted triangles represented Yzma and Kronk, who fell into the Pacific Ocean as they were chasing the llama and his friend. As Yzma rolled her eyes, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse~ "Gah, I can't wait for you to call your brother! Those two might be in big trouble right now!" Silver replied to Don, "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Taking out a Pokeball, Silver threw it up high, yelling, "Salamance, I choose you!" Out of the Pokeball emerged Silver's Salamance, roaring as it appeared next to the fish statue on the wall... "Salamance, tear this wall down!" Silver ordered his Pokemon. Nodding, Salamance blasted the wall with its Dragon Breath attack. Rushing towards the broken wall, Silver was surprised to find no floor to walk on in front of him. "Where are they?" Silver thought out loud, hoping Kuzco and Pacha didn't fall to their doom. Looking around, Silver's Chikorita noticed something way below them. "Chika!" Chikorita told Silver, pointing down. Looking to where his Chikorita pointed, Silver noticed what appeared to be a roller coaster track a couple of yards beneath where they stood. "Huh, didn't expect that," Silver commented as he climbed up on Salamance's back with his Chikorita hanging on to him, "Hop on Don. If those two are still alive, then they're way below us. Looks like the only way down there is to fly." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tsukino Household~ "All aboard!" Kenji and Ikuko called out to the kids while standing near their car. "Come on kids! The earlier we get there, the better seats we get!" Ikuko added. "Coming!" Rini replied as she rushed out the house with Riley and Sammy (who was carrying Luna)... "We'll be back soon, Luna," Sammy told the cat as he gently placed her on the ground, patting her head. "You sure you don't wanna join us, Riley?" Kenji asked Riley. "I'm sure, Mr. Tsukino," Riley replied, "Family duty calls." "I understand," Kenji told Riley, "Tell your family we said hi." "Will do," Riley replied as she started walking away, "Later guys!" "Bye, Riley!" Rini told Riley, waving goodbye as she entered the car while carrying Luna-P. "Come on, Serena," Ikuko called out for her daughter, "We have to go." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Building Rooftop~ Spoiler: BGM "Aaaahhhh!" Hiccup cried as he and Toothless were sent straight to a side of the rooftop, having taken a beating from Vanitas. "That really all you got?" Vanitas questioned as he slowly walked towards the two, "Man, you are worthless." As he stopped, Vanitas continued, "I'd probably be going against the master's orders, but so what? I'm sure he'll end up appreciating what I do right now. And as far as I'm concerned, your job here is done." Vanitas then began summoning a powerful dark flame with his rapier, while Hiccup and Toothless were struggling to get up to avoid Vanitas's incoming attack. Once Vanitas's flame fully formed, he sent it flying straight towards his opponents. A very bright blast resulted from the impact, and as the dust settled, Hiccup and Toothless were nowhere to be found. "Don't worry! You're safe," a female voice said, coming from Vanitas's right side. Turning around, Vanitas found Hiccup and Toothless alive and well, having been saved by another Rider and her Pikachu just in the nick of time... "Pika!" Haymitch concurred. Looking up, Hiccup and Toothless noticed their rescuers, Katniss and her Pikachu, Haymitch. 'Katniss?' Hiccup thought to himself, wondering what she was doing here, as he thought she made it clear she didn't intend to use her Rider abilities outside of protecting Tokyo's District 12. "You okay?" Katniss asked, with Hiccup and Toothless silently nodding. Turning around to face Vanitas, Katniss said, "Tell me where you got your Rider tech! Rider abilities are not something you use just to bully others around! Here, I'll show ya!" "Pikachu!" Haymitch angrily added as Katniss summoned her Sonic Arrow, both ready to teach Vanitas a lesson. "We all will!" Hiccup said as he and Toothless finally got up, and stood next to Katniss and Haymitch, ready to continue fighting, much to Katniss's surprise. "Hmph," Vanitas replied as he rushed towards the group, sparring with Katniss's Sonic Arrow and Hiccup's Banaspear while dodging plasma blasts from Toothless and Thunder-based attacks from Haymitch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Courthouse~ "Community service would usually involve helping out at a government institution, or a non-profit organization," Matt explained to Harold as he and the others were exiting the courthouse, "Considering Aerith said you're allowed to continue working at her place, you could do that in addition, but I'd recommend holding that off until you finish your 60 hours. Just so you don't overwork yourself." "I'll be more than happy go over the list of options where you can do community service, Harold," Jenny told Harold, "But we can do that tomorrow. I'm sure you need some rest today after the craziness these past few days." "Osha," Foggy laughed. "So, now what?" Olaf asked Elsa, Anna, and Hans. "Don't know," Hans replied, "Guess it's back to Arendelle... unless you three wish to stay in Japan longer." "Well, dat's over," Carter commented as he was walking with Aerith and Inspector Lee. "Now can we continue with our investigation?" Lee asked Carter. "Yeah, yeah, whatever ya want, Lee," Carter replied. As they were walking, Matt began to sense something. The blind demon sensed a new presence approaching, and assumed it was simply a group of people moving in the opposite direction, heading towards the courthouse. However, Murdock could hear the movements of their hands as they grabbed something from their pockets, and threw them up in the air. "GET DOWN!" Matt yelled, fearing it was an attack, with his hunch being correct. The men whose presence he sensed had threw smoke bombs around the area, releasing thick plumes of smoke, surprising those in front of the courthouse as they were engulfed by the smoke and started coughing. "Anna, Elsa, where are you?!" Hans cried out as he coughed. "I can't breath!" Olaf added, suffocating from the thick smoke around him. As he was covering his mouth, Matt sensed the presence of those who threw the smoke bombs escape, but another presence appeared nearby from out of nowhere, indicating this person teleported... Teleporting right behind Aerith, Jadeite grabbed her, covering her mouth, and teleporting away as he whispered to her, "You're coming with us." As the smoke finally cleared, the coughing among everyone lessened, with Officer Jenny asking Harold, Matt, and Foggy, "You guys *cough* okay?" "Oshawott," Foggy replied before coughing a bit. "What just happened?" Lee wondered aloud. "Wait!" Matt said, having sensed that while the individual who teleported was gone, so was another presence, "Someone's missing!" Looking around, Carter noticed that Matt was right... Aerith was nowhere to be found. "Aerith? AERITH?!" Carter yelled, wondering where she had disappeared to. Bending down to pick up his cane that he dropped after what had happened, the blind demon felt his hands touch something that felt like a piece of paper. "Matt, what is it?" Jenny asked. Handing her the piece of paper he picked up, Jenny read it, and the look on her face indicated she was shocked by what she just read. "Carter, Lee," Jenny told the two, "You guys might wanna read this." Walking over to Officer Jenny, Carter grabbed the piece of paper from her, and read it along with Lee, both getting the same reaction that Jenny got. "Oh my God..." Carter said, trembling as he dropped the piece of paper. On the piece of paper, the following was written: Officer James Carter and Inspector Lee, If you want to see the girl alive again, meet me in one hour at the Tokyo National Bank with the key to vault #72707. No other police officers are to accompany you. If you fail, I won't hesitate to slit her throat slowly and painfully. Shan-Yu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets - Shan-Yu's Van~ As the van he was in exited towards the highway, Shan-Yu heard his phone ringing. Looking at who was calling him, he noticed it was fellow Crystal Order member, Starlight Glimmer... "I take it Jadeite has the girl?" Shan-Yu answered his phone. "Yes," Starlight replied, "He'll be taking her to the destination soon, just as planned." "Perfect," Shan-Yu said, "It seems I have a date tonight." As he hung up, Madame Gao asked him in Chinese, "So, it seems Kitaniji's vault will soon be ours." "Indeed," Shan-Yu replied back in Chinese as well, "Guess it's time to go to the bank." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Chinatown - Crystal Order Hideout~ As Jadeite and Shay were tying up Aerith's hands and feet and covering her mouth with duct tape, Starlight Glimmer approached the hostage, telling her, "Oh don't be so worried, dear. As long as your boyfriend makes it to the bank with a certain vault key, then everything will be fine. All he has to do is do as he and his buddy were instructed. Compliance will be rewarded. But... if he doesn't, well... Shan-Yu will certainly have his way with you. No pressure. But hey, if it makes you feel any better, you'll be taken to the bank, and you'll have a front-row seat to the show, where you'll find out if Officer James Carter truly cares for you." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Arena: Backstage~ As he was on his way to see Vice McMahon while carrying his WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt, John Cena passed by Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, and was greeted by the two... "Órale!" Eddie greeted the WWE World Heavyweight Champion as the two shook hands. "The Champ is here!" Rey added as he fistbumped Cena. "Hey guys," Cena replied. "What's up holmes?" Guerrero asked. "Just on my way to see Vince," Cena replied, "Gotta know if I'll be defending my title against someone else soon." "Sorry man, but he's not here," Mysterio replied. "Yeah, esé," Eddie added, "He left this morning in a rush. Something about an urgent business meeting in Denmark." "I see," Cena said, "Thanks anyway." "Yeah, you take care of yourself, man," Rey replied as Cena walked away.

~Courthouse - Jury Room~ Having convened in a private room, the members of the jury who had witnessed the trial of Harold Flamel were discussing whether or not to charge Flamel, taking their time to make sure they make a wise and fair decision. "Harold Flamel clearly violated the law," Achilles commented, "It shouldn't matter if his intentions were good or not. The law is the law." "Oh, but he seems like a perfectly nice gentleman to me," Sherri replied, "He just needs another chance, that's all." Sighing, Achilles asked Brick Tamland, "What do you think?" "I thought I once ate a falafel hot dog with cinnamon and bacon on top. Turns out it was a used coffee filter with cigarette butts on it," Brick replied, confusing both Achilles and Sherri, who looked at him with strange looks on their faces. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Sora's and Roxas's Home~ "What the-?" Sora complained after he and Roxas were killed in an online Call of Duty game. "Who the heck is 'AoiKazue'?" Roxas wondered out loud, reading the kill feed. "Well, whoever he or she is, looks like Kairi's gonna kick their butt," Sora replied as he noticed a firefight between 'AoiKazue' and Kairi/'HikariPrincess' begin. "Good," Roxas commented, "Still, we might have dealt with this 'AoiKazue' easily had Riku joined us. Seriously, where is he?" --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Building Rooftop~ "Hey, wait up!" Hiccup called out as he and Toothless finally caught up to the mysterious Rider on a building rooftop, "You're a Rider, right?" "I guess so," the Rider replied as he turned around to face Hiccup. "Well, that's great," Hiccup replied as he got out of Toothless's back, "'Cause, little secret between us... I'm a Rider too!" "Right... you're associated with Zordon, aren't you?" the Rider asked. "Y-yeah, how did you know?" a surprised Hiccup asked. "I've got my sources," the Rider replied, "I know about every spandex-wearing warrior fighting on Zordon's side." "Oh, by 'sources', you mean Zordon, Alpha, and Navi, right?" Hiccup asked, "I can't believe I didn't see this earlier. You must be a new recruit Zordon picked. Well, allow me to welcome you to our ever growing team, buddy!" "'Buddy'? Hah, don't make me laugh," the Rider scoffed, "I ain't even associated with Zordon either. The big head's wasting his time with all the stuff he's doing. Pretty soon, this entire world will become an entirely different place, and there's nothing Zordon or anyone else can do to stop it." "Why do I get the feeling you're not a good guy?" Hiccup wondered out loud, "And, what do you mean by Earth becoming 'an entirely different place'?" Spoiler: BGM View attachment 43631 Vanitas ~The Boy in the Mask~ "Exactly what I said, idiot. The Earth you know will be gone forever," Vanitas replied, "And the whole 'good guy' vs. 'bad guy' thing... well, it really depends on what one considers... 'bad'. We in the Crystal Order believe that we fight a good fight, regardless what others think of us." "The Crystal Order! You are a bad guy!" Hiccup cried as he and Toothless got in a fighting position. "Oh, how typical..." Vanitas commented as he summoned a rapier. Gasping at the sight of the rapier, Hiccup shook his head and quickly transformed to his Rider form... "Good. Let's see what you're made of," Vanitas commented as he tightened his grip on his rapier. Summoning the Banaspear, Hiccup cried, "Come on Toothless!" Nodding, Toothless charged towards Vanitas alongside Hiccup, with Toothless sending a plasma blast towards Vanitas, and Hiccup slashing his Banaspear. But what they attacked appeared to simply an image, as Vanitas had teleported right behind them, saying, "Gotcha!" Slashing his rapier, Hiccup blocked the attack with his Banaspear, though the surprise attack caused him to back up a bit. "Okay, didn't expect that," Hiccup commented. Jumping high in the air, Vanitas hit Hiccup and Toothless with a Dark Thundaga attack, crying, "Suffer!" Suffering the brunt of the attack, Hiccup and Toothless were weakened a bit from the dark electric attack, with Hiccup asking his dragon, "You okay there, bud?" Toothless nodded in reply, and Hiccup said, "Okay, let's keep fighting!" As Vanitas landed, Hiccup rushed at him, and the two sparred with their weapons. Whenever Hiccup almost hit Vanitas, the evil Rider would easily sidestep away, commenting, "Too slow." Toothless also tried helping, shooting plasma blasts at Vanitas. But Vanitas would easily swing his rapier, and get rid of the plasma blasts, commenting "Pathetic." "Man, nothing will get to this guy!" Hiccup cried. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ "Alright everyone. Time is up," Gordon Ramsay announced, "Swedish Chef and I will be walking around, checking how each of you did on your three Swedish dishes. Once your three plates have been checked, you are free to leave." --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse~ "Okay, so the other lever then?" Pacha asked. "Well duh," Kuzco replied. Doing as Kuzco asked, Pacha pulled on the lever Kuzco didn't pull. Just then, the wall near where Kuzco and Pacha were standing quickly flipped, apparently sending them to the other side of the solid hard wall. "Uh, guys?" Silver asked, wondering where the two disappeared. As Silver tried to pull on the levers from the fish statue in order to be taken to where Pacha and Kuzco were, none seemed to budge one bit. "Chika!" Chikorita cried in distress. "Uhh, looks like we have a problem, Don..." Silver told Don, with the focus now trying to find out where Pacha and Kuzco ended up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Courtroom~ After waiting for what was close to an hour, the people inside the courtroom noticed the members of the jury finally arrive, being escorted to their place in the courtroom... "Has the jury made a decision?" Judge Philip Banks asked the members of the jury. "We have, your honor," Achilles replied as he stood up while being assisted by his cane. "And what decision has the jury come to?" the judge asked. "On the matter of lying to a law enforcement officer, the jury finds the defendant guilty," Achilles responded, "But on the charge of holding Queen Elsa while she was declared missing, the jury finds Harold Flamel... not guilty." There were murmurs instantly heard among those in attendance, wondering what that decision would mean. "Very well," Judge Banks replied, "You may be seated." As Achilles sat back down with the rest of the jurors, Banks told Harold Flamel, "Harold Flamel. You are hereby found not guilty of holding Queen Elsa while she was missing, but guilty of lying to a police officer. However, since the offense you are guilty of is a relatively minor offense, you will not have to worry about going to jail. Instead, you will be required to complete 60 hours of community service within a month, in which a police officer will track your progress. Case is closed." As Banks knocked on his gavel, there was some cheering from those who were attending. "He did it! He did it!" Officer Carter cheered as he hugged Aerith, "He gon' be free, Aerith!" "I didn't know you even cared, Carter," Lee told him. "Well, now I know why some people jus' LOVE lawyer movies," Carter replied. "Yes!" Officer Jenny said to herself, happy that Harold won't have to go to prison. "Wow, looks like your friend won't be going to jail, Elsa," Olaf told the ice queen. "I think that was pretty fair," Hans commented. Sighing a breath of relief, Matt patted Harold on his back, telling him, "Rest easy, Harold. You're a free man." "Oshawott! Oshawott!" Foggy happily cheered as he jumped up and down around the table in front of Harold and Matt. "Well done, Mr. Murdock," Tarkin told the blind lawyer as he approached him, giving a slow clap, "You definitely were a worthy foe. The Ministry of Justice could certainly use someone of your impressive skills." "I appreciate the offer, sir," Murdock replied, smiling, "But I prefer remaining small and independent." "Suit yourself," Tarkin replied, "But the door is always open should you change your mind." Shaking Matt's hand, Tarkin said, "It's been a pleasure to have fought this battle with you." "Likewise," Murdock replied as Tarkin headed towards the exit. "Osha!" Foggy scoffed as he stuck his tongue out at Tarkin while his back was turned. "Foggy, manners..." Matt sternly told his Pokemon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "Everyone's backstage rehearsing, lads," Jack Sparrow told Rock and Spud as he walked past by them, carrying a box, "You're welcome to have seat, but it will be quite a wait before the show starts. You two are the first guests to arrive." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Shibuya District~ Spoiler: BGM "I have no memory of my mother," Finnick told IF, "I never knew her." Crossing his arms, Raichu looked at Finnick, wondering when he'd stop beating around the bush. "But... as for my father. Well, he's a gym leader who specializes in Electric-type Pokemon... one look into his eyes, and you get that feeling of being electrified," Finnick continued, "That's a trait that's strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And... my sister has it." Smiling at IF, Finnick said, "Yes, it's you, IF. You're my twin sister." "Raichu," Raichu concurred, nodding in agreement. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Colbert Report Live Show~ "My guest tonight just might be the next Prime Minister of Japan," Stephen Colbert announced to his audience, "I'll find out what she plans on asking Japanese citizens to say 'no' to. Please welcome, Cosmos!" Colbert then got up from his seat, and ran towards the front of the stage, bowing to the audience as they cheered before running towards the interview table, where Cosmos was seated... "Oh ho! Cosmos! Thank you, thank you so much for joining us," Colbert greeted Cosmos as he took a seat in front of her. "Thank you for having me," Cosmos replied. "Umm, now let's get right to the heart of the matter," Stephen said, "A big story about you this week. Everybody's talking about it... How tall are you really? 5-foot-5, or 5-foot-7?" The audience chuckled at Colbert's question, with Cosmos replying, "No comment." "I see," Colbert commented as he took out a pen and paper, and wrote on the paper, "'Refuses to answer'." Cosmos and the audience then laughed a bit at what Colbert just did, who continued, "Now e-everybody wants to know, they speculate on what kind of prime minister a candidate might be. And if you would uh, forgive me in saying so, I personally think you'd be great." The audience then applauded after what Colbert said, with Cosmos replying, "Thank you." "And, I hope, I-I hope I'm not out of place in saying this... y-you're a very good looking lady," Colbert added, with the audience applauding once more, and cheering. "Well, thank you Stephen," Cosmos responded. "Do you think your potential admirer would be okay with me having said that?" Colbert asked Cosmos, with the audience laughing as they heard the question. "You know, he might be a little ruffled..." Cosmos answered. "Ruffled enough to come on my show and try to punch me?" Colbert asked as he mimicked a fist punch with his hands, causing both the audience and Cosmos to laugh, "Because that, heh, because that would still be a booking, and I would win." The audience continued to laugh, with Cosmos replying, "Well maybe if you sang to me, it would make him a little jealous." "L... L, is for the way you look at me," Colbert sang, with the audience cheering and Cosmos snapping her fingers to the beat. "I'm sure he has a better voice, though," Cosmos said. "He has a better voice?!" Colbert replied as he and the audience laughed. "I'm sorry," Cosmos apologized. "Alright, I blew it last night singing with John Legend," Colbert responded as the audience and Comsos laughed, "Now, why would you want to be prime minister? Umm, you'd never get any sleep, because I understand the phone keeps ringing at 3 a.m." Cosmos and the audience once again laughed, with Colbert continuing, "Well that's true, I mean, there are challenges you face as a candidate for prime minster. What's the greatest challenge for you? Is it the constant media attention? Frollo?" Chuckling along with the audience at Colbert mentioning Frollo, Cosmos replied, "You know, this has been a privilege throughout. I have to say, being able to travel around the country, meeting people..." "Coming on my show," Colbert added to Cosmos's statement. "Coming on your show," Cosmos concurred, with the audience laughing in response, "It's been a highlight. So I tend to look at the positive, and I don't look at what could go wrong with the problems 'cause there's so much that I think I can do for this country. Uhh, so I'm willing to make the sacrifices. Whatever's necessary to get into office." The audience then applauded after Cosmos's statement, with Colbert mentioning, "Now, the election is this November. Two months from now." "Yes," Cosmos concurred. "Who? Who are you supporting?" Colbert asked, causing the audience to laugh, "I only ask because you're an independent minded woman." "I am a firm supporter of Cosmos," Cosmos answered, with the audience cheering in response, "Because I know-" "Because the pollsters, the pollsters keep telling me that the female vote can go either way," Colbert interrupted Cosmos. "You know, that's... that's been a mistake that the polls have made," Cosmos replied, "There are many women like myself who were independent, strong, focused, who care about family values, who know that 'Cosmos' will be the correct choice in the ballot." The audience cheered once again, with Cosmos continuing, "That Cosmos has something unique to offer the country. That her perspective is really gonna change the lives of working women. I understand, because Cosmos is me." As the audience laughed, Colbert asked, "Alright, if, if you become the next prime minister of Japan, eight years from now, will your future husband get into politics and try running for prime minister?" The audience and Cosmos laughed at Colbert's question, who continued, "'Cause my understanding is that's how it works now in democracies around the world." "No. I think being the only person in my family to become prime minister is enough, but for those eight years that I'll be prime minister, I'm gonna change the face of this country. That's my promise," Cosmos replied, with the audience cheering, "Because I have a passion for insuring that regular folks get a fair shake, something that prime minister Harriet Jones had fought for, and I will continue. There are a lot of people who are working harder for less. And I am passionate about making that change, and I think we have a chance." "Now... now speaking of changing the face of Japan, talking about the ordinary, t-the average people out there, we have been having school kids send in drawings of the candidates," Stephen commented. "Okay," Cosmos replied. "So we have... we have a bunch of them already up in the map in basically the area where these drawings have come from," Colbert said, pointing to a map of Japan on the wall next to them, filled with a collage of pictures. "I see. I see," Cosmos replied as she noticed the pictures. "Uh, we've got a couple of them. Let me show you a couple of the ones we've gotten in here. Uh, Jimmy can you put these up on the screen," Colbert said, with a random picture of Cosmos appearing on the screen. The picture that appeared of Comsos was drawn as though she was staring blankly with her eyes wide open, causing the audience to laugh at the way it looked. "Yeah..." Cosmos commented at the first picture of herself. "This was drawn by uh, Trini, age 7, of Vermilion City, Kanto," Colbert explained, "And from the looks of it, it's a drawing of you looking startled." Cosmos and the audience laughed at what Colbert just said, who continued, "I think probably startled that you agreed to appear on my show." The laughing from both Cosmos and the audience continued, with Colbert saying, "L-let's go to the next one there, Jim." A new picture of Cosmos then appeared on the screen, and it was very accurate of how she looked. "This one is by Sara, age 11, of Petalburg City, Hoenn," Colbert commented, "And I really like this one." "It's really good," Cosmos concurred as she observed the drawing. "Yeah. I uh, think 'cause Sara drew you just as majestic as me," Colbert replied, with the audience and Cosmos laughing in response, "Umm, l-let's go to the next one." The picture to appear on screen depicted what appeared to be Cosmos and Harold Saxon facing off in a boxing match, causing Cosmos and the audience to laugh hard. "Well... okay then... this is certainly an interesting piece," Colbert commented, "This one is by Ankur, age 9, of Blackthorn City, Johto. And I gotta say, Ankur's got a very wild imagination." "Heh, it's almost as accurate as the real thing," Cosmos joked, with Colbert and the audience laughing in response. "Okay, w-what else do we have here?" Colbert said, with the next picture on screen depicting Cosmos with a gigantic smile, big chin, and her teeth shown to be rather large. "Oh!" a surprised Cosmos said as the picture appeared, with the audience laughing at it. "Alright, now... is that it?" Colbert asked Cosmos. "That's it. That's the one," Cosmos replied. "This one is by Ryan, age 10, of Sunyshore City, Sinnoh. And I gotta say, Ryan's got it!" Colbert commented. "The chin and the teeth," Cosmos added. "Now I think... I think this was an attempt to get the message across to voters," Colbert said, "That your universal health care plan includes-" "Dental," both Cosmos and Colbert said at the same time as the audience applauded. "Are you ready to fight this out all the way to Election Day?" Colbert asked Cosmos. "You know, I am hopeful that this is gonna be over before the big day in November," Cosmos replied, "I think that, umm-" "Those of us in the media aren't," Colbert interrupted Cosmos, with the audience laughing in response, "Otherwise, we won't have much to talk about. But go right ahead." "I know, I know, I know...," Cosmos continued, "But I-I think that this has been a good fight. Umm, it has prepared whoever comes out of this election, to be able to lead this great country. Umm, and I think it's been good overall for Japan. Umm, every corner of the country will have had a chance to look up close and personal at myself and Saxon, and know where he and I stand, who we are. I'm ready for November, and all I can say to Saxon is to bring it on." The audience then applauded and cheered in response to Cosmos's statement. Shaking Cosmos's hand, Colbert said, "Cosmos, thank you so much for joining us." "Thank you so much," Cosmos happily replied. "Cosmos everybody! We'll be right back!" Colbert announced as the Colbert Report went on a commercial break.

~Outside Muppet Theater~ "Oh, pardon me, darlings," Diantha told Spud and Rock as she passed by them with her Gardevoir, "I wouldn't want to be late for rehearsal." "Siiir," Gardevoir concurred as she and Diantha both entered the Muppet Theater. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Yzma's Penthouse~ "Wow," Pacha commented as he and Kuzco arrived to where Silver, Don, and Chikorita were, noticing the statue of the fish with two fangs. "This has got to be it!" Kuzco added. "You sure?" Silver asked the llama. "Well, can't hurt to try," Kuzco replied as pulled one of the fangs, revealed to be a lever. However, upon pulling the lever, a trapdoor under Kuzco opened, and the llama fell down to an unknown location. A couple of seconds later, a wall nearby opened, and the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ "Hmm, don't know much about her," Grandpa replied, "Heck, the news doesn't even have footage of this new Scout. All I know is that her name's Sailor Mini Moon. Hmm, guess Sailor Moon doesn't have issues with copyright infringement, what with the similar name and all." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Colbert Report Live Show~ "Nation, I'm proud to say that over the years since the 'Report' first aired, we've already had quite a few prime minster candidates come for an interview," Stephen Colbert told his audience during a live taping of the 'Colbert Report', "And I'm really looking forward to sitting down with Cosmos in a little while. She is a favorite in her political party, and has her share of support for the election this November, even though her prime minister campaign has had more than its share of bumps in the road. Through it all, through all of this, Cosmos has remained undaunted. But now, I'm afraid to say, we may have finally found something that will DAUNT her." As the audience chuckled at Colbert's statement, Stephen continued, "Because according to the Osaka Post, when Cosmos first tried running for prime minster in 2009, she was 5-foot-5, according to a height report from the Cosmos campaign." The camera then switched to showing a snippet from the Osaka Post that Colbert quoted: "When [Cosmos] first ran for prime minster in 2009, she was... 5-foot-5. I got this official height report from the Cosmos campaign..." "... all say that Cosmos is 5 feet 7 inches tall." "But now, new sources all say that Cosmos is 5 feet 7 inches tall," Colbert said as the audience's reaction was a mix of shock and laughter, "That's right. Cosmos has added two inches. That is a tactic normally reserved for guys watching porn." The audience erupted in laughter and cheer as Stephen continued, "Now... this could be easily explained. For all we know, Cosmos could be a Conduit whose powers involve growing two inches taller." As the audience laughed once more, Colbert said, "Or it could be one of those classic cases where a woman suddenly gets taller as she gets older." The audience chuckled again, with Colbert continuing, "Happened to my grandma. By the time we put her in a nursing home, she could dunk!" The following image was then shown on screen, eliciting more laughter as well as applause from the audience: View attachment 43618 "Oh... oh Ma Ma... oh Ma Ma," Colbert said as he saw the image of his grandmother that was displayed, with the audience chuckling in response, "Or folks, this could be a bonafide conspiracy. It may go all the way to the top, a top which is two inches higher than it was before." The audience laughter continued, with the camera then switching to show more quotes from the Osaka Post regarding the story about Cosmos's height: "Silent in the topic... is the Cosmos 2013 campaign operation..." "... which appears not to have shared her height... with any reporters; nor did it respond to... queries." "Because the Cosmos campaign remains silent on the subject, and appears not to have shared her height with any reporters, or responded to any queries," Colbert quoted the article with the audience chuckling in response, "Oh sure, they're happy to talk about her plan for student debt relief, or raising the minimum wage, but they refuse to talk about the real issue. Is Cosmos tall enough to ride ShockWave at Six Flags? Japan's carnies need to know!" After the audience laughed once more, the camera switched to a screen with quotes pulled from a recent Japan News article about the heights of candidates for prime minister: "... since 1901, the taller guy has won the election for prime minister 19 times..." "... while the shorter candidate has won just eight times..." "This is serious business, because since 1901, the taller guy has won the election for prime minster 19 times while the shorter candidate has won just 8 times," Colbert quoted the article, "This sensation over Cosmos's elevation might be the thing that finally takes her down. Or up. We don't know at this point." After a chuckle from the audience, Stephen continued, "It's bigger than any other scandal ever, that's why I'm calling it... 'Heightgate'." As the audience chuckled again, Colbert said, "'Cause this has serious implications. What else is Cosmos hiding? She says she opposes Keystone XL, but maybe she's just holding out for the upcoming 'Magic Mike' spinoff, 'Keystone XXL'." The camera then showed the following image on screen, eliciting a huge laughter from the audience: View attachment 43619 "I know a lot of women are. A lot of them are," Colbert explained, with many female audience members cheering in response, "Let's be... heh, so depressing. Let's be honest... we're all adults here, except for the kids watching." After the audience chuckled a bit, Colbert continued, "And we all know how she bulked up... she's juicing." A image of steroids then appeared next to an image of Cosmos on screen, with the audience laughing in response. "It wouldn't be tough for her to hide the signs of steroid use. It's not like she's gonna have mood swings. She's only got one mood... whatever the focus group said it should be," Stephen said, with the audience laughing and cheering in response, "Everyone... big fans. Big fans of focus groups here tonight." The audience chuckled once more, with Colbert continuing, "And we all know everyone running for prime minister has to ride the 'Roid'. That's just how the game's played." After a few chuckles from the audience, Colbert said, "On an average campaign day, these candidates have to hit 2 pancake breakfasts, 4 town hall meetings, and a plate dinner costing a million yen. Do you really think they'd have all that stamina without a little 'vain candy'? A little... 'Schwarzenectar'? A little 'Barry Bonds Head Resizer'?" The audience laughed at what Colbert had just said, with Stephen adding, "Don't kid yourself. There's a long history of world leaders bulking up to get elected. We all know that's how American president, John F. Kennedy won his debate against Richard Nixon back in 1960." The following image then appeared on screen, eliciting much laughter from the audience: View attachment 43620 "That's... that's why they called him 'JACK!'," Stephen commented in regards to the image of Kennedy, with the audience chuckling in response, "Now, this could be a plus. Because if Cosmos continues to grow, think how big she'll be when if she becomes prime minister! We won't have to worry about Iran or North Korea anymore, because Mega Cosmos can just swat missiles out of the sky!" The audience then erupted in laughter as an image of a gigantic Cosmos standing in Tokyo blocking missiles from reaching the city was shown on screen. "I personally can't wait to see how Heightgate plays out," Colbert said, "We'll be right back." The audience then cheered as the show went on a commercial break. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Flynn's Arcade~ "Later, Mr. Flynn," Hiccup told Kevin Flynn as he left with Manon and Harry after his shift for the day ended. "Take care," Flynn replied to his employee as he went back inside his arcade. "Hey Toothless, thanks for being patient bud," Hiccup greeted his dragon, petting him as toothless licked him. "Well, I gotta go home with Harry to get ready," Manon told Hiccup. "Alright," Hiccup replied, "I gotta go back to my dorm as well. I'll pick you up once I'm ready." "Sounds like a plan," Manon said as she and Harry started running towards their home, "Later taters!" "Leemo!" Harry added as he ran with Manon. As he waved goodbye, Hiccup noticed Toothless growling at something. "What is it, Toothless?" Hiccup asked. Looking around, Hiccup noticed Toothless was looking at what appeared to be a Rider standing in an alleyway alone... 'Is that a... Rider?' Hiccup thought to himself. Upon noticing Hiccup and Toothless, the Rider started running away. "Hey, wait!" Hiccup called out to the Rider, "Come on, Toothless. He could be a new ally!" Getting up on Toothless's back, Hiccup and his dragon started chasing the Rider, hoping to get a word with him. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Flynn's Arcade (Again)~ As Katniss and her friends were walking back home, Katniss's Pikachu sensed something nearby. "Pika?" Haymitch thought out loud. "What is it, Haymitch?" Katniss asked her Pikachu as she bent down to him. "Pikapika, Pikachu!" Haymitch replied as he was pulling her wrist, indicating he wanted to take her somewhere. "What's wrong with him?" Dick asked. "Guess he wants to take me somewhere," Katniss replied, "You guys go on without us." "Well, if you say so," Ritchie replied as he left with the others. But as she continued walking, Rue stopped, and turned around to face Katniss. "Katniss... look out for yourself," Rue told Katniss, thinking of the moment when Katniss became a Rider. Nodding in reply, Katniss responded, "You too, Rue." Rue then turned around, and rejoined with Dick, Ritchie, and Sparky, while Katniss followed Haymitch somewhere... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tsukino Household~ "Muppets, huh? Never heard of 'em," Sammy told Rini as he took a sip of his lemonade while carrying Luna and petting her, "But hey, if your friends are part of this telethon thingy, then I'll be happy to tag along." "You can come too, Riley," Rini told Riley as she drank her lemonade. "Wish I can guys, but my great aunt, Edie, just arrived from Minnesota yesterday. My parents say I gotta spend time with her," Riley replied. "Oh, well that's gotta be fun, right?" Rini asked. "Yeah... real fun..." Riley lied as she took a sip of her lemonade. Spoiler: Inside Riley's Mind "Great Aunt Edie... this isn't going to end well," Sadness commented. "Oh come on, Sadness. You're just exaggerating," Joy replied, "I'm sure she wasn't as bad as we remember." "Is that so? Well let's have a look at a random memory of her," Disgust said as she pressed a button on the console, pulling up a memory Riley has of her great aunt, and playing on the screen in front of the five emotions. The screen then displayed a very old woman smoking a large cigarette while telling Riley, "Oh aren't you the sweetest thing in the world!" But as Riley coughed from Edie's smoking, Edie said, "Oh don't worry Doll, you'll get used to it." As the memory stopped playing, Fear nervously said, "Oh no... it's all coming back to me..." "I hate that woman," Anger commented. Grinning, Disgust told Joy, "I rest my case." Sighing, Joy said, "Okay guys. MAYBE Great Aunt Edie may not have been our favorite family member. But hey, people change. So who knows? Maybe she'll be great to hang out with this time!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Building in Tokyo - Abandoned Clinic~ Arriving to the part of the clinic where May was investigating, Alan, Skye, and Shining Armor found May observing dead bodies, all appearing to have been murdered by someone. "Looks like a small blade, probably a scalpel," Melinda explained as she observed a body before moving to the one next to it, "And this one here is just pure strength. Whoever did thi-" "We all know who did this," Skye interrupted May as Shining Armor noticed a security camera near the ceiling and observed it. "Look at what he did," Skye continued, "I can't believe it. My father's a... monster." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Streets~ Sitting inside his car alone, Calvin Zabo was fixated on his iPad, which was showing footage from the clinic where Skye and the others were. Cal watched as Shining Armor stared at the camera, and heard Skye speaking. "No, no, no, no..." Cal said to himself as he heard Skye speaking. "MONSTER!" Zabo cried after hearing Skye say the words 'My father's a... monster', smashing his fist hard into the iPad's screen, completely damaging the device, and throwing it outside before driving off in a hurry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Courtroom~ "Now then... back to business... does the prosecution have an additional witness it would like to call to the stand?" Judge Banks asked. "No, your honor," Tarkin replied. "Very well. It's time for both prosecution and defense to make a final argument. First up, will be the prosecution," Banks announced. "Thank you, your honor," Tarkin replied as he got up, "Ladies and gentlemen... first of all, I want to thank Mr. Flamel for giving us such a terrific performance a short while ago. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was either an excellent actor, or an individual completely clueless on so many topics. First off, Mr. Flamel clearly doesn't know the capability of police officers these days. Police around the world, especially here in Japan, are entirely capable of dealing with individuals of all kinds, whether they be Conduit or non-Conduit. They have the proper training and the proper tools. And there are quite a number of Conduits who are part of law enforcement that use there powers to their benefit. And I am appalled to think Mr. Flamel thinks that Officer Jenny would even consider taking down Elsa. What reason do you have Mr. Flamel for thinking our own police force would kill a guest of ours?! And if I remember correctly, the Tokyo Police Department was instructed to find Queen Elsa and bring her back safe, NOT to kill her. But, back to the subjects of Conduits... Mr. Flamel seems to think that Conduits are viewed as outcasts, who go to separate schools, and are cutoff from society in general. Those words may have a ring of truth to them... that is, if the current year was, say... 1956. But it's not. It's 2013. Much has changed in Japan over the past few decades. Segregation against Conduits came to an end. Society became more accepting of them. Oh, sure, there will surely be bigots who are disgusted at the sight of a Conduit. But bigotry, unfortunately, is hard to eradicate. Nevertheless, every school in our country proudly accepts students regardless of whether they are Conduit or non-Conduit, human or non-human. Now compare Japan to the United Kingdom, Harold Flamel's home country. A country where a split still exists between wizards and others. One of the few remaining countries that still has a Ministry of Magic. THAT is the part of the world Mr. Flamel came from. Having gone there myself, I actually met a couple of wizarding individuals, including the previous U.K. Minister of Magic, the late Rufus Scrimgeour. I was shocked to hear the things they say, how they believe in keeping themselves away from others, including from fellow Conduits who just happen to have powers not considered magic... I couldn't believe that societal advances haven't reached that part of the world yet. Now you may all be asking, what does this have to do with the case? Quite simple... I see that Harold Flamel is too steeped in the ideals of his people that he just simply can never understand how things in Japan work. And to let such an individual roam free in our streets, deciding for himself what is and isn't right, is a danger to us as a country. This is most evident when we saw him speak even though he wasn't supposed to. We simply cannot allow such an individual to be viewed as innocent. That is all I have to say." "Thank you, Minister Tarkin," Judge Banks said as Tarkin went back to his seat, "And now, a final argument from the defense." "Thank you, your honor," Matt Murdock replied as he got up while holding his cane, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, forgive me if I seem distracted. I've been preoccupied of late with, uh, questions of morality... of right and wrong, good and evil. Sometimes the delineation between the two is a sharp line. Sometimes it's a blur... and often it's like pornography. You just know when you see it. But anyway, I would like to apologize on behalf of Harold for disobeying the rues of this court. But, people make mistakes. Mistakes are always made. This is not in dispute. It is a matter of record... of fact... something stating what is, not what we think of it, not what we feel about it. It just is. Minister Tarkin has mentioned quite a number of facts over the course of this trial. And here's another fact... Japan is very open to individuals of all kind. Tarkin even mentioned that himself... and yet, seemed to contradict himself when he stated that Harold cannot be welcome in Japan simply for the kind of person he is. Here's another fact... people can learn. That is an undeniable fact. Does it imply that Harold can learn from his mistakes and be a better citizen. Of course. Not everything is as black and white as Tarkin assumes about those who break the law. And I apologize for mentioning that despite stating in my opening statement that I did not intend to state facts, as it wasn't my job in this case. But I feel, this is really important right now. Yes, my client has never left his part of the world until not too long ago. Yes, he may have never experienced how things work here in Japan long enough to understand it. Those are facts. They state what happened. But they do not give the full story. What was in my client's heart when he hid Queen Elsa of Arendelle for days is important in this case. Both Aerith and Queen Elsa have stated that Harold was a friendly and pleasant person. And the jury must consider whatever the witnesses said that weren't opinions as facts. Based on these... and these alone, the prosecution has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that my client is a dangerous and untrustworthy man. And those are the facts. My client, based purely on the sanctity of the law which we've all sworn an oath to uphold... must be acquitted of these charges. Here in this courtroom... the judgment is yours... and yours alone." "Thank you, Mr. Murdock," Judge Banks told Matt as the blind demon took a seat, "The members jury will now convene alone outside of this courtoom, and will decide the outcome of this case." The members of the jury (Achilles, Sherri Squibbles, and Brick Tamland) were then escorted out of the courtroom, where they would discuss the case and make a decision. "And now, we wait..." Matt whispered to Harold and Foggy. "Osha..." Foggy replied, hoping the wait wouldn't be long.
Of course they are. I'm actually indifferent to this whole thing with Cloud being in SSB. I just find it hilarious and stupid when people do pointless petitions like this.
