~The Capital - Outside Scrooge McDuck’s Money Bin~ Grabbing a golden mace that the money shark shed, Webby began swinging it at the monster's legs, with the money shark roaring at Webby as she attacked it. But as it roared, Lena noticed Scrooge's Number One Dime hanging from one of the shark's teeth. "The dime!" Lena said to herself upon noticing the Number One Dime. Looking at Lena and sensing Magica de Spell's presence around her, the money shark began to approach Lena, while Webby was trying to think of a way to save Lena from the monster since attacking its legs didn't seem to do the trick. "Get me that dime and you'll finally have what you've always wanted," Magica de Spell's voice echoed through Lena's head… "But h-how am I supposed to get it without being eaten alive?!" Lena questioned. "Ah, you'll figure it out," Magica's voice apathetically responded. "LENA, LOOK OUT!" Webby cried as the money shark was about to gulp down Lena. Webby, however, managed to push Lena aside, getting eaten by the money shark herself instead. "Webby! No!" Lena cried, stunned to see Webby risk herself for her. Shifting its attention to Lena, the money shark quickly gulped her down as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Scarif, The Maldives - Citadel Tower: Data Vault Room~ As they were in the data vault room, Jyn and Cassian were browsing the computer in front of them, going through a list of projects that the New World Order was working on and had data for in the archive in front of them. “Project code names... Red XIII. χ-blade. Animus. Interdimensional Travel. Sta-” Jyn said before stopping upon noticing the name of a certain project. “What?” Cassian asked. “‘Stardust,’” Jyn replied, recognizing the word as the nickname her father gave her, “That’s it.” “How do you know that?” Cassian asked. “I know because it’s me,” Jyn answered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Virginia - Forest~ "Umm, sorry to interrupt," Cal said, "But may I ask where you guys were headed before our encounter with those Stormtroopers and Cybermen?" "Well… nowhere, really," Kristoff replied, "I was thinking of maybe contacting Jeffrey Mace, the North American Rebel leader, hoping he might help us out." "Well, there may be someone I know who can help you out," Cal said. "Who?" Saphir asked. "Cere Junda," Cal replied, "She was a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and worked a lot with the Zeo Power Rangers to deal with threats. I thought she was killed during the Great Purge, but I crossed paths with her last month. It turns out she joined the Rebels, and now works with a smuggler to transport supplies to different Rebel cells in the continent. Perhaps she may be able to provide you transport if you need it." "Hmm, whaddya think about that?" Olaf asked Kristoff. "Hmm… I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask help from her," Kristoff replied after pondering about it for a bit, "Cal, think you could set up a meeting with her?" "Sure, I can do that," Cal said, "It may take some time to contact her, what with the New World Order monitoring communication, but… I'll see what I can do." "Thanks," Kristoff replied, "I appreciate it." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia - New World Order Base~ As they made their way into the base, Star and her team were battling Stormtroopers, with Star using her wand's magic, while Marco relied on his karate moves, and Tom used his demon powers. "JELLYBEAN TSUNAMI!" Star cried as she sent a sea of jellybeans towards Stormtroopers guarding a certain room, causing them to drift down the hall and away from the group. As for Stormtroopers who avoided Star's attack, Marco quickly went for the attack, knocking one Stormtrooper out, while Tom teleported behind other Stormtroopers and killed them with a fireball attack from behind. The three then entered the room that the Stormtroopers were guarding, and found that it was full of computers facing a large screen showing security footage. "What is this place?" Star wondered out loud. "This must be the base's control room," Marco replied, "The security system would be maintained here. So we can finish what Connor ordered us to do and disable everything. Now then, how to go about it?" "I have a suggestion," Tom said, shifting his focus to the computers as he raised his left arm, and fire completely engulfed the computers in the room, burning and destroying them all instantly. Once the fire subsided, Marco was stunned as he looked at what was left of the computers, with Tom commenting, "See? Problem solved. Now the others won't have to worry about turrets or any other sort of thing." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia - Outside New World Order Base~ While Finn was about to attack the AT-ST, he noticed Rey run towards the base, surprising him, as she was supposed to stick with him and Natasha as a group per Connor’s orders. “R-Rey?! Where are you going? We’re supposed to stick together!” Finn cried. Just then, the AT-ST took advantage of Finn’s distraction, blasting the area near him. Luckily for Finn, he wasn’t hit, but he was sent flying a couple of feet away, landing hard on the ground. “Finn!” Natasha cried as she dealt with the last of the Stormtroopers she was battling, rushing to Finn’s side, “You okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine,” Finn replied, using his Keyblade to help himself get up, “Let’s just help that creature deal with that walker.” “Alright,” Natasha said, taking out her guns and shifting her focus to the walker, ready to battle it with Finn and the creature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia - Outside New World Order Base (Again)~ While Finn and Natasha were helping out the creature battle the AT-ST, Connor and his group neared the entrance to the base, but stopped upon noticing someone standing right outside the base’s entrance… “Syndrome?!” Haytham and Discord both cried upon noticing the man with a cape and mask, recognizing him. “Well, well, well… the New World Order sent me here to check on things, and what do I find… Grand Moff Kenway working together with Ratonhnhaké:ton and other traitors?! Scandalous!” Syndrome exclaimed, “Oh, the Supreme Leaders are gonna reward me big for this!” Syndrome then flew away from the scene with the help of his Aero Boots. “We have to stop him!” Haytham pleaded. “And why should we?” Connor questioned, “Worried that your temporary alliance with us will expose you to your superiors?” “Maybe so,” Haytham replied, “But even then… if the New World Order finds out that you yourself are here, they will send an entire fleet and wipe out you and all your Rebel friends in the entirety of Siberia! If you wish to avoid that… then Syndrome must be stopped.” Pondering his father’s words for a bit, Connor sighed as he said, “Valid point. Let us split up. Discord, Mewtwo, Sailor Mini Moon... stop him. The rest of us will deal with Castiel.” “Right,” Discord and Sailor Mini Moon replied as they, along with Mewtwo, headed in the direction where Syndrome left. “Now let us find Castiel and put an end to this battle,” Connor told Haytham, Sailor Moon, and Tuxedo Mask as they entered the base.
Earlier today, Square-Enix announced that the upcoming mobile game, 'Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road', which was originally slated to be released in spring, has been delayed due to "current conditions" (most likely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic): It has also been stated that an announcement will be made early next month. It is currently unknown what the nature of the announcement is, but we'll be sure to bring it to you once it is revealed.
~The Capital - Outside Scrooge McDuck’s Money Bin~ “Heave off! That’s my money!” Scrooge scolded as he noticed the fishermen under the bridge he was in continue to collect whatever money and treasure the money shark was shedding. Shifting his attention back to the four-legged money shark, Scrooge exclaimed, “Oi! Gilt-gills! Come and get me!” Looking at Scrooge, the money shark sensed that Scrooge was wearing his Number One Dime around his neck. The money shark then began to focus on the Number One Dime, trying to magnetically pull it away from Scrooge. “My Number One Dime!” Scrooge cried as he held on to the cord attached to his Number One Dime, trying hard not to let go of it while the money shark continued trying to magnetically retrieve the coin. Eventually, the cord holding the coin was detached, and Scrooge watched as the Number One Dime flew towards the shark and was swallowed by it. “Oh no ye don’t ye predatory piggy bank!” Scrooge cried as he grabbed his cane and charged towards the money shark, jumping on the hood of a car, which popped and sent him flying towards the monster, which gulped him up in one bite. “Hi Mr. McDee/Uncle Scrooge!” Launchpad, Huey, Dewey, Louie all greeted Scrooge from inside the money shark’s stomach as he joined them. “Everyone,” Scrooge greeted them back. “Mr. McDuck!” Webby cried upon seeing what just happened, racing towards the money shark to try and save him and the others. Lena was about to join Webby, but stopped upon hearing Magica de Spell’s maniacal laugh in her mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Sky Over Scarif in The Maldives~ While Bogo watched as a high number of TIE Fighters were trying to attack the ship he was on, the X-Wing Gold Squadron was continuing to try and attack the shield gate, but wasn’t having much of an effect. “We're having no effect on that shield!” Gold leader Hera Syndulla complained as she continued leading her squadron of X-Wings in attacking the shield gate. “How much more can that thing take?” Red Leader Benjamin Clawhauser wondered out loud as he was leading his squadron of X-Wings in attacking TIE Fighters and defending Gold Squadron. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Virginia - Forest~ “No Elsa, it’s not your fault,” Saphir told Elsa, “Whatever bad things happened, it was because of the New World Order. You did the best that you could.” 'First shooting Stormtroopers, and now this,' Kristoff thought to himself after hearing what Saphir said, 'Could he really have gone through a heel-face turn?' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia - Outside New World Order Base~ Finn and Natasha were both surprised by the creature’s appearance as it battled the AT-ST. “Not what I had in mind, but I’ll take it!” Finn said, relieved that the AT-ST was too distracted with the creature to attack him, while Natasha continued dealing with Stormtroopers. Rushing towards the base’s gate, Finn pointed his Keyblade towards it, and a beam of light shot from the Keyblade towards the gate, causing an image of a large keyhole to appear momentarily on the gate as the sound of a lock unlocking was heard in the area. Once the image of the keyhole disappeared, the gate opened on its own. “Yes!” Finn cheered as Star, Marco, and Tom charged towards the base now that the gate was open… “CHAARGE!” Star cried as she, Marco, and Tom entered the base. As for Finn, he shifted his attention to the AT-ST as it continued battling the creature, deciding to help it out for saving him. Joining the creature by its side while holding his Keyblade, Finn told the creature, “Hey, hope you don’t mind a little help battling that walker.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia (Area Near New World Order Base) - Outside The Millennium Falcon~ Connor and the others watched as the creature appeared and attacked the AT-ST. “What is that?” Tuxedo Mask wondered out loud. “I am not sure,” Connor replied, “But whatever it is, it seems to be helping turn the tide.” Once Star and her team were able to enter the base, Discord said, “Star’s team made it in!” “Then it is now our turn,” Connor declared as he took out his tomahawk, “We go now!” “Right,” Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mini Moon replied. “Charge!” Discord cried as Connor and the others charged towards the base. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital - Apartment Building Rooftop~ Covering herself from the rain with her umbrella, Anais was waiting on Peni to come up and demonstrate the mech suit she just built. As she was waiting, Anais was holding on to her Dango plush while humming a particular tune to herself. Just then, Anais noticed what appeared to be Peni’s mech suit jumping from the side of the apartment building, and landing right in front of her… “Hey, Anais!” Peni greeted Anais. “Peni?! You’re really controlling that suit?” Anais questioned Peni. “Yep,” Peni responded back as her mech suit opened up, revealing herself inside… “So far so good!” Peni continued, “Currently, I didn’t seem to have trouble climbing up the building and jumping high.” “Nice,” Anais remarked, “What else can it do?” “Unfortunately, not much else,” Peni replied, “The purpose of this test was to see if I could use it to climb up here. Just an initial test. But the suit has yet to be programmed with combat functions. And that’s where Spider-Woman comes in. If I could see her in action while I’m controlling the suit, I could record her moves so that they could be programmed into the suit.” “And then you’d be able to web-sling and do other cool crime fighting stuff with your suit?” Anais asked. “That’s the plan,” Peni replied, “For now, I’m just glad that the suit definitely works.”
Updated OP with new reserve.
Some sad news to report out of Japan today. Earlier today, it's been announceed that Keiji Fujiwara, known to Kingdom Hearts fans as the Japanese VA playing the role of Axel/Lea, has sadly passed away as he battled cancer. While Kingdom Hearts fans will always remember him as the Japanese voice of Axel/Lea, Keiji Fujiwara was also known for various anime roles, as well as the voice of Reno in Final Fantasy VII, and was even the official Japanese voice of the popular Marvel character Tony Stark/Iron Man. Our deepest condolences to Keiji Fujiwara's friends and family in this tough time.

~The Capital - Outside Scrooge McDuck’s Money Bin~ Having landed in the bridge outside Scrooge’s money bin, the money shark grew four legs and let out a mighty roar as it slowly walked forward while some fishermen were passing under the bridge where the money shark was, collecting whatever coin or treasure they could that the money shark was shedding. And as Lena and Webby watched in shock, Lena commented, “On the bright side it’s not just trying to kill us anymore.” The two then watched as a limo arrived at the bridge, with a stern looking Scrooge McDuck stepping out of the vehicle… “When I see Launchpad, I’m docking him a day’s wages,” Scrooge grumbled. Upon noticing Scrooge, the money shark roared as it rushed towards Scrooge. “Look!” Lena cried, “It must be after Scrooge’s Number One Dime!” “Why would you think that?” Webby asked, feeling suspicious. “Uh, I don’t know… a… a reason…” Lena replied as she struggled to give an answer, “No time to think, we gotta go!” Lena and Webby then began to race towards the money shark to help Scrooge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Scarif, The Maldives - Citadel Tower~ As Jyn and Cassian were in the data vault room while Ignis was outside giving them instructions as he was working behind a computer, Ignis told them, “Schematics bank, Data tower two.” “How do I find that?” Cassian questioned. “Searching,” Ignis replied as he typed up something on the computer, “I can show where the hard-drive is located, but you’ll need the handles for extraction.” “Handles?” Cassian wondered out loud before noticing the two handles that were right in front of him, grabbing hold of them, and noticing he was now controlling a round component that went up and down around the data vault in front of him and Jyn, “Whoa.” Cassian then noticed one part of the data vault was flashing red, indicating that’s where they would find the hard-drive containing the plans they were looking for. But as that was happening, Ignis noticed three Stormtroopers coming his way, so he pressed a button on the computer, closing and locking the door to the data vault room in order to protect Jyn and Cassian… “Well, finally,” Ignis told the Stormtroopers upon their arrival, hoping his Stormtrooper disguise will prevent them from suspecting him. “Wait, stop,” one of the Stormtroopers replied, noticing the dead Stormtrooper on the floor that Ignis killed earlier as he and the other two Stormtroopers began to suspect Ignis was really a Rebel. “The Rebels! They went over there,” Ignis told the Stormtroopers, trying to mislead them and get them away from the area. Just then, however, Ignis and the Stormtroopers heard a voice coming from Ignis’s communicator near the computer. Specifically, it was Cassian’s voice, who was asking Ignis, “Ignis. What’s going on out there?” Sighing, Ignis said, “Oh well.” Taking out a pair of his trusty knives, Ignis kicked one of the Stormtroopers, quickly using him as a human shield to protect himself as the other two Stormtroopers began shooting with their blasters. Ignis then let go of the dead Stormtrooper he was using to shield himself, and threw both of his knives towards the necks of the two remaining Stormtroopers, instantly killing them both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Virginia - Forest~ “Wait, did you say ‘Power Rangers’?” Cal questioned Elsa after hearing her mention a team of Power Rangers going to South America, “So, some of them are still around?” “Yes, you can say that,” Saphir replied. “What about you?” Kristoff asked Cal, “Do you mind me asking if your team is still around?” But upon noticing the sadness in Cal’s face as he sighed, and hearing BD-1 give a sad electronic beep, Kristoff realized that something bad happened, saying, “Oh, I see… do you mind me asking what happened?” “Don’t know what there is to say,” Cal replied as he began remembering his fallen teammates, “For a long time, me and my friends defended the city of Memphis, Tennessee from bad guys. We called ourselves the Zeo Power Rangers. Heh, those were the days. But… then the Great Purge happened, and we found ourselves fighting those Cybermen that came out of nowhere. We tried hitting them with everything we got, but nothing was able to stop them. Not our attacks, not our Zords… they were pretty much invincible. After our Zords were destroyed, we tried to make a run for it, but we were hunted down, one by one. I watched as every single one of my friends was killed, right in front of me. Luckily for me, BD was able to cause a distraction, allowing me to escape with him. Yet, it never really felt like I was lucky, because ever since that day, I’ve spent every single day trying to hide from the New World Order, going from place to place to avoid being found. And the worst part is that every time I sleep, I always have the same recurring nightmare where I have to watch my friends getting killed.” BD-1 gave another sad electronic beep as he patted Cal’s hand with his foot. “Wow… you’ve been through a lot, haven’t you,” Olaf commented. “Believe it or not, I know how you feel,” Kristoff told Cal, “I may not be a Power Ranger or a Rider, but I lost teammates of my own to the New World Order as well. I had to endure the same thing you went through when I was the last surviving Rebel in Arendelle.” “So, you’re a survivor like me,” Cal said. “Yep,” Kristoff replied, “I know it’s hard. But with the right support, I know you’ll get through it.” “Is that how you got through it?” Cal asked. Looking at the others in the group, particularly Anna, Kristoff smiled as he answered, “Yeah, it is.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Somewhere in Sub-Sahara Africa - Rebel Base~ “Your uncle helped the Crystal Order steal Vibranium,” Zuri continued with his story as a distraught T’Challa continued listening, “When your father confronted him, he drew his weapon on me. But your father was too quick for him. Your father killed his own brother… to save my life.” “And the child?” T’Challa asked, wondering about his uncle’s child. “We left him,” Zuri answered, “We had to maintain the lie.” Upset, T'Challa stormed out without saying another word to Zuri. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~The Capital - Cemetery~ As Looker and Officer Jenny arrived at the cemetery along with other police officers, they noticed Matt and Foggy slowly approaching them… “Matt! Thank goodness you’re alright!” Jenny cried as she and Looker rushed towards the demon and his Pokemon. “My, you sure look worn out,” Looker commented, “Did you see him? The Punisher, Frank Castle… did you find him?” “Yeah…” Matt replied as he was about to lie, “But, he got away. I couldn’t catch up to him.” Breathing a sigh of disappointment, Looker said, “Alright. Guess we better continue searching for him. Thank you for your help, Murdock.” “Yeah, go home. Get some rest. You earned it,” Jenny added. Smiling as he nodded, Murdock began walking away while followed by Foggy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia - Outside New World Order Base~ Hiding behind bushes as she and her team were planning their attack while they witnessed several Stormtroopers standing guard outside the New World Order base, Natasha said, “Even if we take them out, the front gate will still be shut tight.” “Natasha, have you forgotten already?” Finn questioned as he summoned his Keyblade, “I have a giant key as a weapon. It could easily open that gate. All I need is a distraction that’ll allow me to stand in front of the gate and unlock it without interruption.” “Right, I keep forgetting about your Keyblade,” Natasha said, “Alright… BB-8, stay here. Rey, on my mark, we charge… 3… 2… 1… Now!” Natasha then charged towards the Stormtroopers, surprising them as she pulled out her guns and began shooting at them, dodging their blaster fire while expecting Rey to help her out. As that was happening, Finn avoided the conflict, rushing straight towards the gate in order to unlock it with his Keyblade. But just as he arrived, he was caught by surprise from an AT-ST that emerged from the shadows and began shooting at him. “Oh, come on!” Finn cried as he backed away, trying to avoid getting shot while trying to figure out how to deal with the walker. ‘Dammit…’ Natasha thought to herself as she noticed what was happening with Finn while trying to deal with Stormtroopers, ‘We hit a snag already?!’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Siberia, Russia (Area Near New World Order Base) - Outside The Millennium Falcon~ Looking through binoculars, Tuxedo Mask was able to see the battle outside the base start, but noticed the AT-ST appearing and giving trouble for Finn. “Not good,” Tuxedo Mask told Connor, handing him the binoculars so that the Rebel leader can see the situation unfolding for himself, “A walker just appeared out of nowhere.” “Should we help out?” Sailor Mini Moon asked. “No,” Connor replied, “We stick to the plan. Natasha and her team still have a chance to overcome this unexpected obstacle.” “I hope you’re right,” Tuxedo Mask said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~The Capital - Peni’s Apartment~ While they were waiting for Peni’s mech suit to get all the necessary software installed, Anais and Penny were having a very tense game of chess, both sweating and staring at the pieces on the chess board as each was trying to figure out the other’s next move. Just then, the two heard a beep coming from Peni’s computer. “Oh, looks like it’s ready!” Peni immediately said as she got up, “We’ll continue this later.” “Phew, alright,” Anais replied with a sigh of relief, thankful that she gets some rest after the mentally exhausting game of chess she had with Peni. As the two walked over to Peni’s mech suit, Peni disconnected all the wires connected to the suit, with Anais asking, “What now?” “I think I’d like to give it a test run,” Peni answered, “Meet me at the rooftop. Let me try getting up there on my own while riding the suit.” “Alright. But be careful not to smash anything,” Anais said as she grabbed her umbrella and backpack and left to go up to the rooftop.
