I've always wanted a Muppet television show ever since the 2011 movie, and now that it's finally becoming a reality this fall, I am so excited! My only complaint is that it'll be done as a mockumentary-style show. While this format worked for 'The Office,' I kinda found it to be an overused gag that stopped being funny after a while. But seeing as how they poked fun at the format in the trailer (and made me laugh), I think it may work out for the show.
As long as I don't have to pay whenever I want to advance with the story, I'm game. Can't wait to try it out!
A few hours ago, the official Facebook page of Square-Enix Germany posted the following KH-related image: View attachment 42030 For anyone following the currently Japanese exclusive free-to-play game Kingdom Hearts X[chi], the above image will look familiar, as it's taken straight from the game. What's more curious is the caption they added, which roughly translates to "What is going on with the post? Just so, this had to be said." Is this a sign that X[chi] may finally be released internationally? Source: Square-Enix Germany Facebook Page
~Mudka's Meat Hut~ As she continued waiting on Kronk to return from the kitchen, Yzma was beginning to lose her patience. "What is he doing in there?" Yzma asked herself, wondering why Kronk was taking such a long time in the kitchen. Deciding to see why he was late, Yzma got up from her seat and walked towards the kitchen... --------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen Storage Room~ "Almost... got it..." Pacha said as he tried opening the storage room window. As for Kuzco, who still had no idea why Pacha wanted to get him out of the restaurant, the llama quietly unlocked the storage room door and opened it, wanting to go back and talk to the chef and make a special order. ---------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen~ Once Don left the kitchen, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage --------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household - Front Yard~ As Serena was moving her old things to Rini's room, Sammy and Rini were outside in the front yard, playing with a volleyball, passing the ball to each other. "Heh, right now, that ditz is moving her old stuff to your room, while the both of us don't have to do anything," Sammy said as he passed the ball to Rini. "Yeah... I'm so glad I get to move in with you guys," Rini replied as she caught the ball and passed it back to Sammy, "But I really wish I ended up with a sister who wasn't such an airhead." "Yeah... I know Serena can be a big klutz... but... she does grow on you. Just give her time," Sammy said as he caught the ball, dribbled with it a bit before passing it back to Rini. "If you say so, Sammy," Rini replied as she caught the ball. "Anyway, wish I can keep playing, but I got homework to finish," Sammy said as he went back inside, "Later." "Later," Rini replied back. Once Rini was by herself in the yard, she continued playing with the volleyball, dribbling with it, and bouncing it against a wall. "Oops," Rini said as she accidentally sent the ball rolling to the sidewalk. Spoiler: BGM Passing by, Darien Chiba noticed the ball rolling to the sidewalk, and picked it up. "Hey, you dropped this, little girl?" Darien asked Rini. Nodding, Rini couldn't help but feel something very familiar about Darien. "Here you go," Darien said, handing Rini back her volleyball. ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Secret Japanese Military Base in Germany~ "ALRIGHT YOU POOP NOBBLERS!!" Sgt. Keith Shadis yelled in front of a group of soldiers (which included Aveline) standing in formation, "NOW I DON'T LIKE SCREWING AROUND WITH YOU BATCH OF MEAT TOSSERS!! Last group that was here months ago thought it'd be funny to shove a CORNCOB UP A CADET'S B***HOLE!! AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?! They were asked to leave politely, and it was AWKWARD FOR EVERYONE!!" Walking towards the group, Sgt. Shadis faced one of the soldiers, asking, "Alright Aryan Coconut, what's your name?" "I-I.." the soldier replied, stuttering. "WELL SWEET MOTHER TERESA ON THE HOOD OF A MERCEDES-BENZ! YOU SOUND LIKE A MAJESTIC F***ING EAGLE!!" Shadis yelled, "DO YOU SING?!" "I-I-I..." the soldier nervously replied, stuttering once more. "HARMONIZE WITH ME MAGGOT!!" Shadis yelled. "I-I don't know if I can," the soldier replied. Suddenly, Sgt. Shadis began to sing with a very high pitch, and the soldier did the same. The drill sergeant then punched the soldier in the face, knocking him to the ground, and walked over to another soldier, asking, "What about you, Muffin-Top? What's your story?" "Oh, well after a few years of service, I intend to join the Japanese Intelligence Agency and take on more dangerous missions," the soldier replied with an aristocratic accent. "Well... you seem to have a good head on your shoulders," Keith told the soldier. "Oh, well thank you so mu-" the soldier replied before being hit on the head with a headbutt by Shadis, causing him to collapse to the ground, crying in pain. "NOW LISTEN UP, YOU DOUBLE-DECKERED PIG FARTS!! YOU DON'T GET TO JOIN THE J.I.A. TILL AFTER YOU PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR HAMSTER HOLE!!" Walking over to another soldier, Sgt. Shadis asked, "What about you, Freckles? Where do you see yourself in three years?" "I plan to kick the Crystal Order's ass, sir, even if it means risking my life," the freckled soldier replied. "Oh, OH YOU THINK THIS IS HAREM OF THE DEAD YOU SHRIMP D*** F*** NUGGET?! BOY IF YOU CAN'T PULL A PROTRACTOR OUT OF YOUR WIENER SLOT, AND TURN, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO KICK SOME TERRORIST'S ASS!!" Sgt. Shadis yelled as he turned his focus towards Aveline, "WELL SWEET JOLLY F***IN' RANCHERS!! I BET YOUR MOM WISHES SHE HAD SWALLOWED YOU!!" "Ten-hut!" an incoming voice said, causing Shadis to stop harassing the soldiers he was in charge of, and stand in formation for the captain in charge of the base, Liam O'Brien... "Shadis... status," the captain asked. "All disciplined and accounted for, sir!" Sgt. Shadis replied. "Excellent, keep up the good work," Liam said as he left, walking back to his office. ----------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Outside Secret Japanese Military Base in Germany~ In the woods outside the secret Japanese military base in Germany were Crystal Order members Attila and Hun, spying on the base along with a group of S-types, ready to attack the base soon. "Heh, good thing Chrysalis was able to get us the coordinates to this base," Attila commented as he looked through his binoculars, trying to find the weak spots of the base. Hearing a sound in the bushes behind them, Attila and Hun turned around to see who or what was behind them. Out from the bushes came fellow Crystal Order member, Starlight Glimmer... "Greetings, brethren," Starlight greeted Attila and Hun. "Starlight Glimmer... I wasn't aware you were part of this mission," Hun replied. "Well, I am here under direct orders from Al Mualim himself," Starlight Glimmer said, "He has asked me to bring in... 'additional' support for this mission, from an expert in attacking military bases." "Oh yeah... who?" Attila asked. Grinning, Starlight Glimmer moved aside, and from behind the bushes emerged a man, one that made Attila and Hun gasp in his sight and quickly move out of his way as he slowly walked towards a spot where he can see the military base. "Attila, Hun... I believe you're both familiar with the hero of the Iraq War himself... Shay Patrick Cormac," Starlight Glimmer told Attila and Hun... ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ "Stop! Just f***ing STOP!" Gordon Ramsay yelled at Max, "First of all, that attitude of yours... you're being f***ing disrespectful to me and my colleagues! And second, you were specifically ordered to work on a f***ing quiche, and forget about the bloody ratatouille! So shove the ratatouille up your f***ing ass, and get to work on the f***ing crêpe! You UNDERSTAND?!" Siebold and the Swedish Chef remained silent as they watched, not wanting to get in the way of Chef Gordon Ramsay when he's in rage mode. -------------------------------------------------------- ~Colbert Report Live Show~ "My guest tonight, is a Grammy Award winning singer who'll be singing later tonight at Tokyo University with Daft Punk, please welcome, Powerline!" Colbert said as he started yelling hysterically while running over to the table where Powerline was sitting.... "First of all, welcome to the Report, Powerline," Colbert told Powerline, greeting him. "It's a pleasure, dawg," Powerline replied. "Now, you've got a concert later tonight with Daft Punk at Tokyo University, how's that going?" Stephen Colbert asked. "It's all dope, man. Gonna be lots of fun. And all proceeds from the tickets are gonna go to helping out the less fortunate in Africa," Powerline replied, with the audience applauding upon hearing what Powerline said. "Wow, that is incredible. Great job, to both you and Daft Punk," Stephen said. "Thanks, brotha," Powerline replied. "Now, I know tickets are still on sale," Colbert commented, "But... mind giving me a spare ticket so I can see the concert? If you have one, that is." The audience and Powerline all laughed after hearing Colbert's request. "Sorry man, not this concert. Maybe some other time," Powerline replied. "Fair enough," Colbert said, "Now, on the subject of Daft Punk, how did you find working with them?" "Aww, they like brothers to me," Powerline replied, "We met about a year ago. While we talked, I gave them my idea of a benefit concert, and we talked about it for a while, and that's how we came to where we are today. And it's gonna be awesome. We get to remix our songs together... it's gonna be a lot of fun." After an applause from the audience, Colbert said, "Well, now I'm jealous I don't get to see it." The audience and Powerline began to laugh in response, with Powerline telling Colbert, "One day, Stephen. One day..." "Now, onto more important matters... even more music," Colbert said, with the audience and Powerline laughing once again to what Colbert said, "I hear you're working on a new album?" "Yeah, that's right. Been working day and night on it. But I have a good feeling y'all gonna love it. But it won't come out till around Christmas, so I don't have anything to preview yet," Powerline replied. "I see," Colbert replied, "Well, I do have a question I've been dying to ask you for a very, very long time." "What's that?" Powerline asked. "Is your real name actually 'Powerline'?" Colbert questioned, causing the audience and Powerline to all laugh, with Powerline responding, "Well, that's what it says on my driver's license." The audience then laughed once more at Powerline's response. "Sounds legit to me," Colbert commented, with the audience laughing in response, "And one last question... will you sing something for us?" "Thought you'd never ask," Powerline responded as he took out a microphone and walked towards the stage, with the audience cheering that he was going to sing a song for them. As the lights dimmed, Powerline began singing the following song with the audience continuously cheering: Spoiler: Song that Powerline Sang As Powerline sang, Colbert also decided to join, dancing along in the stage while playing with a tambourine, causing the audience to both laugh and cheer. Once the song was over, the audience erupted with cheer, and Colbert yelling, "Ladies and gentlemen, the ever talented, Powerline! We'll be right back!" The Colbert Report then cut to a commercial break. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~???~ After putting on the Cerebro helmet to connect with Zordon's mind, all Hiccup could see was himself in a place that was nothing but pitch-black darkness. "Zordon? ZORDON? Where am I?" Hiccup called out to Zordon, wondering what just happened. "Our minds haven't yet crossed paths, Hiccup," Zordon's voice replied despite no sign of him anywhere. Looking around, Hiccup saw a bright light in the distance, growing brighter and brighter, with an elderly man wearing strange clothes walking towards him... "There you are, Hiccup," the man said. "That voice... wait... Zordon? Is that you?" Hiccup asked, shocked to see Zordon not as a floating head. "That is correct, Hiccup," Zordon replied, "Before residing in the Command Center permanently, my appearance resembled what you currently see. But right now, all you and I see are each other's mind, not our physical forms." "So, this is like a dream?" Hiccup asked. "Precisely," Zordon replied as he turned around to face the bright light, "Follow me." As Zordon walked towards the bright light, Hiccup followed, wondering what he'd see in Zordon's mind. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Kitchen of Restaurant in Tokyo's Chinatown~ As Jadeite, Shan-Yu, and a bunch of Crystal Order henchmen were waiting for a shipment to arrive, they noticed the door to the back of the restaurant open, with an elderly Chinese woman walking inside with a cane... "Ah, Madame Gao," Jadeite greeted the fellow Crystal Order member, "I take it you brought what we need." Gao nodded in reply as she signaled to some men outside, who all brought in bags of cash. Madame Gao then proceeded to say something in Chinese. "She said that's all the cash profited in the past two years from selling heroine. Should be enough to satisfy Mr. Kitaniji," Shan-Yu said, "She also requests for you to take her to HQ. Don't worry, my men and I can handle counting the cash." "Very well," Jadeite replied as he approached Madame Gao, smiling as he extended his hand to her. Smiling back, Gao took Jadeite's hand, who teleported himself and Gao to the Crystal Order headquarters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Outside Tokyo University Stadium~ As Diantha exited the stadium, she found her old friend, Professor Sycamore, along with the group he was with, waiting for her. "Augustine... it's been a while, darling," Diantha said. "It certainly has, Diantha," Sycamore replied as he and Diantha shared a hug, much to the surprise of the others. "Fennekin and Espurr are with you as well?" Diantha asked, happy to see Sycamore's Pokemon as well. As Sycamore nodded, both Espurr and Fennekin rushed to see an old friend. "Nyapah!" Espurr cried as she hugged Diantha. "Fokka!" Fennekin added, climbing up Diantha's shoulder, and licking her. "Oh sweethearts, I missed you two as well," Diantha replied as she embraced Fennekin and Espurr. "So, you became a professor, like you always wanted?" Diantha asked Sycamore. "That's right," Sycamore replied, "Misty, Gary and Tracey here are students of mine. The others include friends of theirs, as well as a group of high school seniors getting a tour of the campus." "Hey," everyone greeted Diantha. Smiling, Diantha replied, "It's nice to meet you all as well." "And I especially am glad to have met you," Brock told Diantha as he quickly approached Diantha, holding her hand as he tried flirting with her, causing to Diantha to sweatdrop, "I'm Brock by the way. Former Pewter City Pokemon Gym Leader, TU student, and an expert at locating extremely beautiful ladies with just one look, and after watching all your movies and your Pokemon match just now, my beautiful lady senses are tingl- OWW!!!" Misty interrupted Brock's flirting, pinching his ear and dragging him away from Diantha, saying, "Really sorry about Brock, Diantha." "TogiTogi," Togepi laughed as everyone else sweatdropped as they watched Misty dragging away Brock with his ear. "HaunterHaunter!" Haunter laughed as well, enjoying the sight of Brock painfully being dragged away by pinching his ear. "Anyway, great match, Diantha," Tracey told Diantha. "I agree. That was an impressive strategy you had," Sabrina added. "Yeah, it would've been an honor to challenge you in the Pokemon Kalos League if I was still a trainer," Gary said. "Thank you all, I truly am flattered," Diantha replied. "Yeah, Tex Richman's lucky to have you as his girlfriend," Sycamore said, "Speaking of which. It's a great thing what he's doing with the old Muppet theater by turning it into a Muppet museum." Upon hearing Sycamore mention the Muppet theater, Clemont remembered the reason he wanted to see Diantha in the first place, though he was shocked to hear that her own boyfriend was the one who was trying to tear down the theater in the first place, wondering if she too was in on his plan. "Yes, I certainly am proud of Tex for what he's trying to do," Diantha replied. "And I'm proud as well," Sycamore said, "Anyway, I'm sure you've got other things to do. But it was nice meeting you again." "Indeed it was Sycamore. Hope to hear from you again soon," Diantha replied as she left, with Sycamore and the others leaving. Clemont, however, didn't move, and watched as Diantha left. "Clemont?" Dick called out to Clemont. "You coming?" Connor asked. "Umm, you guys go on without me. I'll catch up. Gotta take care of something first," Clemont replied. "Alright, Clemont. We'll see you back at the bus," Katniss said as she, Connor, and Dick joined back with the group, "Come on, Haymitch." "Pika!" Haymitch replied, getting up on Katniss's shoulder.

General Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Civil War View attachment 42022 Therefore, in conclusion... 'The Incredible Hulk' is canon in the MCU. Always was, always will.
Happy b-day Oda!

I don't know if this is a bit extreme, but have you tried talking to the police about this. I wish I can think of a better solution, but if managers seriously can't do anything, your options are kind of limited.
Season 3 is a go (though it was pretty much guaranteed)!
Show's been renewed for a second season!
~Abandoned Building~ Sighing in disappointment after Puppet escaped, Romulus put his gun away, and turned around to face the S-types. "So, I walk out of the room for five minutes... I come back, and find that Jumpman, along with his wife and brother, are nowhere to be found, and apparently Puppet's causing some problems. Mind explaining to me what happened while I was gone?" Romulus asked. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Roof of Building Next to Nintendo High School~ "Uh-oh," Goldar said to himself as he quickly backed away from the edge of the roof to where Luigi and Rosalina can't see him, "That was close. Too close. Maybe I should wait a little bit. Probably the red one will come back later. But I wonder who that girl is. Oh well, who cares." --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ Officer Jenny was shocked when she heard the voice of Harold saying "Of course I do Officer", as the voice sounded familiar to her. 'I know this voice,' Jenny thought to herself. The vision of Elsa above Jenny and Yen Sid then changed to that of Harold, confirming Officer Jenny's fears. "Hmm, why does this Harold's face look... familiar?" Yen Sid wondered out loud. "You... you're the guy from the flower shop... you're Harold?!" Officer Jenny questioned Harold, who went on mentioning how this wasn't a kidnapping despite Jenny not even mentioning the word 'kidnapping' at all. Once Harold finished talking, Officer Jenny shook her head in disbelief, and said, "You are not going anywhere, Harold. You may have good intentions, but the law is the law. It's a crime to lie to the police, which you have done when you claimed that you'd let the police know if you found Queen Elsa. Not to mention you've caused a lot of headaches for many in Japan and Norway. My advice to make this easier for everyone... turn yourself in once I arrive. And if you really do think you did the right thing, then you better pray the jury believes you once you go to trial, and that you have a good lawyer. I'm coming for you and taking Elsa back to her sister, where she belongs!" Jenny then signaled Yen Sid to end the communication, which he did as he stopped waving his hands, and the vision of Harold above them vanished, ending all communication with Elsa and Harold. "So, you'll be arresting him?" Yen Sid asked Officer Jenny. "I have no choice, Yen Sid. It's my job as a police officer," Officer Jenny replied as she headed for the room's exit, "Thank you so much for your help." -------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital~ After Doctor Hu checked on one of his patients and exited the patient's room, a nurse rushed to him, crying, "Doctor Hu! You have to come! Three people were brought in to the emergency room, badly wounded!" "Alright, lead the way," Doctor Hu replied, with the nurse leading him towards the emergency room. Once Hu reached the emergency room, he found Jumpman, Fujiko, and Ruiji on stretchers, being taken to a different room. "My God... Jumpman?!" Doctor Hu said to himself, recognizing one of the three instantly, "Take them to room 616! Not time to lose, let's go people, we have lives to save here!" -------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University Stadium~ "Chad!" Grandpa Hino cried as he rushed to his Piplup, "Are you okay, buddy?" Opening his eyes, Chad smiled at Grandpa Hino, and replied, "Piplup." Breathing a sigh of relief, Grandpa said, "Well, the important thing is that you're alright, and you did your best. I'm proud of you, Chad." "Piplup," a teary-eyed Chad replied as he and Grandpa shared a hug. "You and your Piplup share such a strong bond, I admire that," Diantha commented as she and her Gardevoir approached Grandpa and Chad, "And I truly enjoyed battling you. Hope you and I can battle again someday, darling." "Siir," Gardevoir added, nodding in agreement with Diantha. "Heh, thanks," Grandpa said, blushing. "Piplup, piplup," Chad adding, thanking Diantha and Gardevoir as well. Smiling at Grandpa, Diantha gave him a kiss on his forehead, causing Grandpa to faint while his eyes were full of hearts, saying, "Hehehe, this is the best day of my life!" Gardevoir as well kissed Chad on his head, causing the Piplup to act exactly like Grandpa, lying on the ground next to Grandpa Hino as his eyes were full of hearts, utterly joyful at being kissed by Diantha's Gardevoir, saying, "Pip..luuuup..." Both Diantha and Gardevoir giggled at the reactions by Chad and Grandpa, and turned around to face the audience again, waving at the cheering fans. Looking through the crowd, Diantha noticed a familiar face in the crowd. "Why it's Augustine," Diantha said to herself as she noticed Professor Sycamore cheering for her. --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ As the others teleported away, Hiccup remained, with many things still in his head. "Is something else troubling you, Hiccup?" Zordon asked Hiccup. "Who are you Zordon?" Hiccup questioned Zordon, "I mean, who are you really? You said you resided on Earth for 50 years? What about before? Where are you from? And why are you helping Earth?" After a few moments of silence, Zordon said, "Perhaps it is best I show you, Hiccup." "'Show' me?" Hiccup wondered out loud. "Alpha, bring out the Cerebro device," Zordon ordered Alpha 5. "Sure thing, Zordon," Alpha replied as he pressed a couple of buttons, opening up a compartment next the Viewing Globe. Walking towards the compartment, Alpha grabbed a strange looking helmet, and handed it to Hiccup, saying, "Here you go, Hiccup." "What is it?" Hiccup asked as he examined the helmet. "It's called Cerebro," Zordon replied, "A device from my homeworld. It allows those who place it on their head to connect to the mind of another, and see what they see. Use it, and you will see what I see, providing you with the answers you seek." Sighing, Hiccup said, "Alright, here goes nothing." Placing the Cerebro on his head, Hiccup's and Zordon's minds were about to meet... --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Twinkle Park~ "Well, looks like Kai gave us the go-head to help out Pyrrha," Shining Armor told Skye, noticing that she just watched silently as Kai left, "I'm sorry... about Kai." "Don't be, it's not your fault," Skye replied, "These things happen." "Well, we better join Fitz and Simmons," Shining Armor said as he noticed Fitz and Simmons taking Pyrrha to a van... "Operation shouldn't take long. Pyrrha will be good to go by tonight," Shining Amror added. "Great," Skye replied as she and Shining Armor headed to the same van as Fitz, Simmons, and Pyrrha. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ A beeping noise was heard from the holographic letter Mewtwo left for Zedd and Rita days ago, indicating someone from the Crystal Order was trying to make contact. "Hold that thought," Thrax replied to his mother as he grabbed the letter, and a hologram was displayed, that of Dr. Warren Vidic of the Crystal Order... "Greetings, my name is Dr. Warren Vidic," Vidic said, "And I take it you're Thrax?" "I suppose my reputation precedes me," Thrax replied. "Indeed," Vidic said, "I heard about the rogue Rider. I believe that was you, or should the credit go to Vekar?" "No, that Rider going rogue was definitely our responsibility," Thrax replied. "I see... well it was unfortunate a wizard had to interfere and remove your control over the Rider," Vidic said, "However, I may be of some help." "I'm listening," Thrax replied. Taking out the Driver he found days ago, Vidic said, "I found this Azarathian device days ago, and have been working on it myself. My superiors have granted me permission to choose a member of the Crystal Order to be a Rider using this device. But unlike the rogue Rider from earlier, this new one will do our bidding without any control, but rather, from their own free will." "Excellent plan, Doctor... I trust you will choose someone suitable from your brotherhood," Thrax replied, grinning, "In the meantime, I plan to locate each one of those spandex freaks once they're isolated from the others. And then I will take them out. One... by... one." "Very good," Vidic said, "Best of luck to the both of us." The hologram of Vidic then disappeared, and Thrax put the letter away, curious as to who from the Crystal Order will be chosen as a Rider. ------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 39 (FINAL PART!!): Flashback 7 Years Ago (March 8, 2006) / Middle of Empty Road in Iraq~ Shay, Romulus, Jadeite, and Haytham witnessed as armored vehicles belonging to UN peacekeepers arrived at the spot, ready for the prisoner swap. Shay's group was joined by Muqtada al-Sadr and his men, as well as Odin, Liam, and several other prisoners of the Crystal Order, with guns pointed behind their backs in case they tried running away. Shay was in charge of Liam, pointing his gun to his former friend's back, while Romulus was in charge of Odin, who was in a wheelchair due to Haytham Kenway shooting him in his right leg. Once the peacekeepers brought out members of the Crystal Order who were imprisoned by Japan, Romulus, Shay, and some of al-Sadr's men walked with their prisoners towards the peacekeepers to complete the prisoner swap. "You know, for what it's worth, I'm glad to have known you," Shay whispered to Liam as they walked. "You should've killed me when you had the chance," Liam replied. "I-I couldn't," Cormac said, "I know things have been very bad between us... but you're still my friend." "Hmph, well I don't even agree one bit," Liam retorted, "You killed Mario... I can never forgive that, Shay. If I ever see you again, I'll kill you." Sighing, Cormac said, "Then I'm sorry, for what I have to do if that time ever comes." Shay then let go of Liam, who joined the group pf other Japanese prisoners now under the custody of the UN peacekeepers. Watching as the peacekeepers left with the Japanese prisoners, Cormac turned around, and watched as Haytham was speaking with Crystal Order members who have been freed. "So, what now?" Shay asked Muqtada al-Sadr. "For the first time in a very long time, my country is finally free. Saddam Hussein is in trial. All foreign occupiers have left Iraq. My country can finally know what it feels like to have peace," al-Sadr replied, "What about you, Shay Patrick Cormac? Is your quest over?" "Far from it," Shay answered, "As long as there is injustice in the world, I will be busy." "Then I pray that you always find success with your future endeavors. It has been a privilege knowing you, Shay," Muqtada al-Sadr told Shay. Smiling at each other, Muqtada al-Sadr and Shay shook each other's hand, with al-Sadr leaving the area along with his men. Once al-Sadr was gone, Haytham Kenway approached Shay, saying, "It certainly is incredible... the Japanese army... the strongest military in the world... faced an unthinkable defeat in Iraq. And it's all thanks to you, Shay Cormac." "Thank you, Master Kenway," Cormac replied. "But you didn't just save Iraq, Shay. Truth is, ever since Afghanistan was invaded, we were dealt a tremendous blow. We feared that the Crystal Order wouldn't last longer. But your actions here in Iraq saved the brotherhood. You saved the Crystal Order, Shay. You ushered the start of a new era... one where the Crystal Order has been growing more and more, something I never thought would happen in all my years in the brotherhood. And I have you to thank," Kenway said. "I'm flattered, sir," Shay replied, "By the way, how is the Master doing?" "Thankfully, Al Mualim is feeling much better after the events of Mt. Fuji," Haytham answered, "He's finally gained control over his new powers that the Relic awakened in him." "And the S-types that were sent to the Star Road dimension?" Shay asked. "It was only a small percentage of them," Haytham replied, "Many still reside around the world. Even Smaug was able to hold on inside Fuji when Al Mualim used the Relic. As for the ones who were sent, if Palkia keeps the pathway open long enough, I'm sure they will return. If not, then they'll have to wait until the day we establish a new world order and use the Relic again. Either way, we have much work to take care of. Iraq is full of oil fields that contain S-type crystals needing to be recovered. And we found the Key." "The Key... we finally found it?" Cormac asked. "Yes... by a woman I once had an affair with, named Ziio," Haytham replied, "She quickly reported to Al Mualim that she found it in Osaka. But to make sure no one from the Nintendo High staff suspects him... Al Mualim will be sending two teachers and two students to retrieve it. But... we'll be sending some of our own to get rid of them and recover the Key. As for you, Shay, I have a mission for you." "What is it, Master Kenway?" Shay asked. "The Arab world is a very volatile part of the world," Haytham replied, "And the Japanese have taken advantage of their volatility, making sure their influence is spread throughout those countries. Iraq marks the first step in removing that Japanese influence, and replacing it with our own influence. I want you to go to those countries, spread our message, recruit new members, and remove whatever Japanese influence you can. Do you accept this mission?" Nodding, Shay said, "Guess I must start now..."
Captain America: Civil War is in full production, with a cast list announced, confirming the appearance of several characters such as Ant-Man and General Thunderbolt Ross.
Seems like the search for a director has been narrowed down to five choices as well: Jonathan Levine Ted Melfi Jason Moore John Francis Daley & Jonathan M. Goldstein Jared Hess Source
I'll be shocked if he doesn't appear in 'Doctor Strange' along with Benedict Cumberbatch.
Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ After trying out Mario's quiche, Siebold, the Swedish Chef, and Chef Gordon Ramsay tried out the other students' quiche, praising some, while criticizing others. Once the trio reached Max's area, they noticed him working on another ratatouille, but no quiche. "Monsieur, where's your quiche au fromage?" Siebold asked Max. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen~ As Kronk was checking where everything was in the kitchen, Don barged in, asking what was going on. "Oh, hey there, Officer," Kronk greeted Don, "Apparently, I'm the new chef here. Old guy just left. But no worries, I'm gonna get everyone's order taken care of right away. So, wanna do a special order, or do you wanna have another look at the menu?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Roof of Building Next to Nintendo High School~ Arriving at the rooftop of a building, Goldar could see Luigi below at the stairs of the entrance to the school with Rosalina. "Well, that's the green one," Goldar said to himself, "But where's he red one? Oh well. Better than nothing. Don't know why the S-type even cares about him and his brother so much." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 38: Flashback 7 Years Ago (March 8, 2006) / Crystal Order Hideout in Iraq: Shay Cormac's Room~ Today was the day. After taking over the last remaining Japanese military base, and taking survivors as prisoners of war, the Crystal Order received even more good news. Newly elected prime minister of Japan, Harriet Jones, agreed on a prisoner swap between Japan and the Crystal Order, where Japan would release members of the Crystal Order from imprisonment in return for the Crystal Order releasing the Japanese soldiers they captured in recent events, with the transfer to be moderated between UN peacekeeping forces. Shay was reading this news on a newspaper, smiling as he considered this an admission by Japan that they lost the Iraq War. "About time," Shay said to himself as he continued reading the newspaper. Hearing a knock on the door, Cormac replied, "Come in." Opening the door and entering Shay's room was Jadeite... "It's time... Muqtada al-Sadr will be joining us," Jadeite said. "Ready," Shay replied as he put the newspaper away and left his room with Jadeite. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Building~ "What the hell's going on here?!" Romulus yelled as he rushed back to the room after hearing a racket from downstairs, shocked to see Jumpman, Astral, Fujiko, and Ruiji were nowhere to be found, while the S-types were attacking Puppet. Figuring that Puppet was a traitor among the S-types, Romulus took out his gun, and joined his S-type allies in attacking Puppet, repeatedly shooting in Puppet's direction. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Twinkle Park~ "P-Pyrrha... you okay?" Skye asked as she noticed Pyrrha becoming angry and glaring at her with orange irises in her eyes. Once Kai rushed to the scene and sternly told Skye she should've talked to her about this first instead of triggering the S-type core within, Skye was shocked to hear that the one person she thought kept no secrets from her knew about Pyrrha's condition as well as S-types. "You knew?!" Skye replied to Kai with a disappointed tone. Once Kai calmed Pyrrha down and sat down with Skye to explain what happened. "I can't believe this. Kai, I trusted you! I joined the Rising Tide because I felt that for once in my life, I can be completely open and honest with others, and I'd get the same treatment. No secrets, whatsoever," Skye complained to Kai, "I risked being arrested last week when I hacked into the government to get information on those creatures from Toshima, because I assumed none of us knew what S-types were. I did that for you! And here I find out you knew what S-types were the whole time. What else are you hiding from me, Kai, huh?" Sighing after letting her feelings out, Skye said, "I'm sorry Kai... but I don't think I can trust you anymore. Shining Armor, you here?" "I certainly am, Skye," a voice replied to Skye as the JIA general came out of a bush and joined Skye and Kai... "Already sent Fitz and Simmons to approach Pyrrha," Shining Armor added. "Good," Skye replied as she shifted her focus back to Kai, "You're probably wondering what's going on here, Kai." "So you're Kai," Shining Armor said as he extended his right hoof towards Kai, wanting to shake her hand, "Nice to meet you. I'm General Shining Armor of the JIA." "You know, I could keep my mouth shut and keep what's going on right now secret," Skye commented, "But I'm not gonna do that, because unlike you, Kai, I never break a promise. I was arrested by the Japanese Intelligence Agency earlier today. I made sure they wouldn't break me while I was being interrogated, and pretty soon... I joined them as a mission of theirs was being debriefed. Which brings me to my next point... the JIA showed me footage of Greece... and that's how I found out about Pyrrha. But they know exactly what's wrong with her, and they can help remove that crystal from her body permanently. So Kai, I'm asking to please let them do their job. For Pyrrha's sake..." Meanwhile, as Pyrrha walked away, she was approached by Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz... "Excuse me, Pyrrha Alexandra?" Fitz asked Pyrrha. "We're from the JIA," Simmons added as she and Leo showed Pyrrha their JIA badges, "It's come to our attention you have a certain crystal in your body. But don't worry, we only want to help you. We can remove the S-type crystal from you permanently if let us help." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University Stadium~ Grandpa, Chad, and Diantha were standing at the center of the field, ready for their Pokemon match to begin. "Pinch me... I must be dreaming..." Grandpa Hino said as he stared at Diantha (who was yards away in the opposing side of the field), not believing he was closer than ever to the woman whose images he would drool over. "And let the match... BEGIN!" the announcer said as the Pokemon match between Grandpa and Diantha began... Spoiler: BGM Taking out a Pokeball, Diantha threw it into the air, yelling, "Gardevoir, my dear... come out!" Out from the Pokeball came Diantha's Gardevoir, landing in the field... "Siiiir," Gardevoir said as she faced Grandpa and Chad. "Wow, you were right Sabrina. She did go for her Gardevoir," Tracey told Sabrina as he began sketching Gardevoir and Chad on his sketchbook. "Told you," Sabrina replied. "Heh, guess you really are psychic," Gary said. "HaunterHaunter!" Haunter cheered as the match began. "I'll let you start with your first move," Diantha told Grandpa, giving him a head-start. "Wait, she's giving the old guy a head-start?" Dick thought out loud. "Could be part of her strategy," Connor replied. "Connor's right... Diantha didn't become Champion simply with luck. Trust me, she knows what she's doing," Katniss added. "Pikaa..." Haymitch commented, wondering what strategy Diantha had. "Alright Chad... Diantha's giving us a chance, so take advantage of it. And remember... don't give up!" Grandpa Hino told Chad. "Piplup," Chad replied, nodding his head. Walking towards the field, Chad was ready to battle against Gardevoir. "Alright Chad, rush towards your opponent and attack with a Scald attack!" Grandpa ordered Chad. Doing as Grandpa ordered, Chad rushed towards Gardevoir, ready to hit her with a Scald attack. Diantha, on the other hand, winked to Gardevoir. "Siiir..." Gardevoir said, knowing exactly what Diantha signaled with her wink. "Pip..LUP!!" Chad cried as he was close enough to Gardevoir, attacking with his Scald attack. However, right before the Scald attack could even reach her, Gardevoir seemed to have vanished into thin air, and appeared behind Chad. "Piplup??" Chad wondered out loud, curious as to how Gardevoir was able to do that. "What in the world..." Grandpa wondered as well, just as confused as Chad. "What just happened?" Brock asked Misty as Gardevoir began doing the same thing over and over again, disappearing and reappearing in spots around Chad. Looking closely, Misty noticed that Gardevoir was simply moving from one spot to another very quickly due to her high speed. "Oh, I see what's going on," Misty replied, "If you look closely, you'll notice Gardevoir is moving so fast that it's looks like it disappears and reappears in different spots." "TogiTogi," Togepi added, enjoying the match. Focusing on Gardevoir, Brock began to realize that the Pokemon really was just moving really fast, and said, "Oh, now I see it!" Back in the field, both Grandpa and Chad began to feel dizzy from Gardevoir's actions. Shaking his head, Grandpa focused only on Chad, yelling, "Okay Chad, listen! Don't focus on your opponent for now." Shaking his head, Chad closed his eyes so he wouldn't get dizzy from Gardevoir anymore, replying, "Piplup!" "Good job Chad!" Grandpa told his Piplup, "Now, seeing as how Gardevoir is circling you, better try a Bubble Beam attack while spin around. Maybe that'll stop Gardevoir." Nodding, Chad did as Grandpa ordered, spinning around with his eyes still closed, and attacking with a Bubble Beam attack, crying, "PIPLUP!!!!" As Gardevoir continued going from one spot to another, the Bubble Beam attack eventually hit her, causing her to flinch and stop moving. "You did it Chad!" Grandpa cheered. "Wow, guess the old man may finally have a chance," Clemont commented. "Don't count on it," Sycamore replied, "Diantha ALWAYS has a trick up her sleeve." "Nyapah," Espurr added, agreeing with Professor Sycamore. "Fokka," Fennekin said, nodding her head in agreement with Sycamore. "Okay Chad, use your Scald attack again!" Grandpa Hino ordered Chad. "Pip...LUP!" Chad cried, sending a Scald attack straight towards Gardevoir. Just then, Diantha snapped her fingers, signaling to her Gardevoir yet again, saying, "Checkmate!" Hearing Diantha's signal, Gardevoir yet again moved quickly, avoiding Chad's Scald attack. Once Chad was surprised yet again, Gardevoir absorbed energy, and attacked Chad with a Moonbeam attack, crying, "SIIIIIRRRRRR!" "PIPLUP!" Chad cried after getting hit by Gardevoir's Moonbeam attack, fainting. "Chad!" Grandpa cried, worried about his Piplup. "And the winner is... Diantha!" the announcer said on the speaker, with the crowd cheering for Diantha's victory.
