As promised, Square-Enix today has released a new trailer for the upcoming 'Kingdom III Re:MIND' DLC! Check it out below:
Three Days Later... ~The Current Day is now Friday, February 14, 2014 (Valentine’s Day)~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- View attachment 50400 Spoiler: Xehanort Report 3 December 6, 2013 It has been said that my ancestor, Sauron, had the ability to control four types of creatures of darkness that he created himself. My analysis of some Pieces of Eden reveals that this claim is only half correct, having been exaggerated as the tale of the ancient Keyblade War was passed from generation to generation. The truth is, Sauron only created the creatures known as the Unversed and Dream Eaters, while the creatures known as the Heartless and Nobodies have existed long before Sauron was even born. The Heartless… living embodiments of the darkness within our hearts, and therefore the darkness that has been in the world since its inception. Although they originate in our hearts, they have no hearts of their own, hence their name. They instinctively hunt for hearts, and survive and reproduce by stealing them. They are formed when an individual's heart is separated from their body and the darkness in the heart takes physical shape. They act autonomously, and their attacks are able to corrupt even those with hearts of light, giving rise to new Heartless in turn. With the creation of Heartless come the Nobodies, the empty bodies and spirits left behind when someone loses their heart to the darkness, becoming autonomous creatures on their own. Nobodies have no hearts, but they retain their human memories, which serve as a reservoir from which to draw human emotion. Nobodies who possessed exceptionally strong hearts in life may retain their original physical appearance, a trait that is extremely rare with Heartless. As for the Unversed, one of the creatures Sauron created, they arise from powerful negative emotions, and when defeated, they return to the source of pure darkness from which they came, which would typically be who whoever summoned them. And finally, Dream Eaters, the other creatures that Sauron created. Dream Eaters are unique in that they are native to the world of sleep, but are able to cross over into our world. The Dream Eaters are also split into two types, Nightmares that eat good dreams and plant bad ones in their stead, and Spirits that eat only bad dreams. When Sauron first created the Dream Eaters, he created Spirits referred to as Chirithy to assist Keyblade wielders in their endeavors. Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and Dream Eaters… Sauron was able to use all four to his advantage when he was alive, and I have that same ability now. While my Inquisitors and I are able to request Stormtroopers and Cybermen wherever we may go, I would like to know how useful the creatures of darkness can be in comparison. So I have provided Starlight Glimmer with the ability to control Nobodies, while also providing Alexios with the ability to control Heartless. As time passes, I will determine if I will provide more of my Inquisitors with the ability to control these creatures. They may indeed prove useful to my overall plan, just as they were to Sauron centuries ago. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~African Savannah - Xehanort’s Fortress~ Spoiler: BGM (start at 1:07) While he was seated in his throne, Master Xehanort noticed Shay Cormac approaching him with news on a visitor… “My lord,” Cormac greeted his superior, giving him a bow, “Director Krennic has arrived.” Taking a deep breath, Xehanort waved his hand, signalling to Shay that he can leave. Nodding, Shay left, while Xehanort got out of his seat, and walked towards the main hallway, where he expected to find his visitor… As he waited for Xehanort to arrive, Krennic noticed Master Xehanort finally arrive to meet him, slowly walking towards him. “Director Krennic,” Master Xehanort greeted Krennic. “Lord Xehanort,” Krennic greeted Xehanort back. “You seem unsettled,” Master Xehanort commented. “No. Just... pressed for time,” Krennic replied, “There are a great many things to attend to.” “My apologies. You do have a great many things to explain,” Xehanort told Krennic. “I’ve delivered the weapons the Supreme Leaders requested. I deserve an audience to make certain they understand their remarkable…” Krennic retorted, feeling a bit uneasy as Xehanort walked dangerously closer to him, “... potential.” “Their power to create problems has certainly been confirmed,” Master Xehanort scoffed, “A town in South Africa destroyed. A New World Order facility in South Dakota openly attacked.” “It was Grand Moff Tarkin that suggested the test,” Krennic replied. “You were not summoned here to grovel, Director Krennic,” Xehanort scoffed. “No,” Krennic said, trying to defend himself, “It’s-” “As far as the public is concerned, there are no S-type superweapons, and what happened in Upington was simply a mining disaster gone really bad,” Xehanort interrupted Krennic. “Yes, my lord,” Krennic responded. “I expect you to not rest until you can assure the Supreme Leaders that Galen Erso has not compromised the weapons in any way,” Xehanort informed Krennic. “So I’m still in command?” Krennic asked, “You’ll speak to the Supreme Leaders about-” Before Krennic could continue, Xehanort summoned his Keyblade and pointed it towards Krennic’s heart. Suddenly, Krennic began to feel an immense pain in his heart as he was surrounded by a dark aura, causing him to collapse to the ground. “I sense much darkness in your heart, Director,” Xehanort told Krennic, “Be careful not to let it consume and destroy you.” Master Xehanort then turned and walked back to his throne as Krennic no longer felt pain in his heart, wondering what Xehanort just did to him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ Spoiler: BGM “Morning everyone!” Rini greeted everyone as she returned to the shack where she, Darien, Sammy, and Serena were staying in after taking care of something outside. “Morning, Rini,” Darien replied as he was setting up breakfast on the table, “Breakfast is ready.” “Thanks, Darien!” Rini thanked Darien. “What were you doing outside so early in the morning anyway?” Sammy questioned. “Oh, they were giving out free chocolate for Valentine’s Day,” Rini answered as she took out two pieces of chocolate from her pocket, “Sammy, this is for you. And Darien, this one’s for you. Happy Valentine’s Day!” “Thanks, Rini,” Sammy thanked Rini as he was given a piece of chocolate. “Yeah, thank you, Rini. I really appreciate it,” Darien added as he patted Rini on her head. “Don’t mention it,” Rini replied, smiling as she sat down to eat breakfast, “I’m also gonna give some chocolate to Connor, Mewtwo, and Discord after breakfast.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Calcutta, India - Restaurant~ “So, why did we come here again?” Sucy questioned as she and the rest of Akko’s group were having breakfast in a small restaurant in Calcutta, India. “‘Cause I heard of a rumor about a big green monster, lurking around this city, who has been attacking New World Order forces at random times,” Amanda responded, “If there’s any truth to that rumor… then I have to find out more about this monster.” “A big green monster?” Diana, Ursula, and Lotte all wondered out loud. “Hang on… if this monster does exist… then who’s to say it won’t hurt us too?” Akko nervously asked. “Well, we won’t know till we find the monster,” Amanda replied, grinning as she took a sip of water. Meanwhile, near the group, Dr. Bruce Banner was having breakfast as well in the same restaurant… Overhearing what Akko’s group was discussing, Banner seemed to be troubled by what they were discussing. So Banner quickly finished his breakfast, leaving a few Gil on the table as a tip for the waiter, and rushed towards the exit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Los Angeles, California: Stark Industries HQ - Conference Room~ As Stark Industries shareholders were gathered in a conference room in the company’s headquarters, expecting a major announcement from the company’s CEO, Tony Stark, Pepper and Rhodey were near the room’s entrance, where Rhodey asked, “Hey Pepper. Any idea what’s going on?” “Not really. All I know is that Tony said he had something important to tell the company’s shareholders,” Pepper responded as she showed Rhodey a Burger King take out bag, “And he also wanted a cheeseburger.” Eventually, Tony arrived to the conference room, catching the attention of everyone inside… “Cheeseburger,” Pepper told Tony as she handed him the take out bag. “Thank you,” Tony thanked Pepper as he took out the cheeseburger from the bag, unwrapping it and taking a quick bite as he walked towards the conference room’s podium. But instead of standing behind the podium, Stark sat right in front of it, surprising everyone else in the room. “Hey, would it be all right if everyone sat down?” Tony asked everyone as he continued eating his cheeseburger, “Why don't you just sit down? That way you can see me, and I can… a little less formal and…” As everyone else did as Stark requested and sat on the floor, wondering why he was requesting them to do so, Stark told everyone, “Good to see you. You know… I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions that I would have asked him. I would have asked him how he felt about what this company did. If he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch the man we all remember from the newsreels.” Once he finished his cheeseburger, Tony got up and stood behind the podium as he continued, “Many lives are being lost to this war between the New World Order and the Rebels. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability. So, my eyes suddenly opened up. And I came to realize that I have more to offer to this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark International.” Pepper gasped at Stark’s announcement as the shareholders in the room suddenly got up and started asking many different questions all at the same time. “Oh, by the way, I’m not finished yet,” Stark announced, “I am also officially relinquishing my role as CEO, and appointing my secretary, Miss Pepper Potts, as the new CEO of Stark Industries.” “Wait, what?!” Potts cried, completely caught off guard by Stark’s announcement, as the shareholders in the room turned towards her, and began asking her countless questions. “Miss Potts will now be the one to decide what the future of the company will be, what direction it should take,” Tony continued, “I have faith Ms. Potts will make the right decisions moving forward, decisions that I'm comfortable with and is consistent with the highest good for this planet as well. Thank you. And Happy Valentine’s Day everybody.” Tony then left the podium, and headed straight to the exit while Potts was being hammered with questions by the shareholders as Rhodey tried helping her towards the exit as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Long Island, New York~ Getting into her car in order to drive towards Castelia City after running some errands in Long Island, Raina was about to start the ignition when she suddenly noticed Stormtroopers and Cybermen surrounding her car… The first thought that came to Raina’s mind was to get out of the car fast. But before she could open the door, she noticed Xigbar standing outside her door, grinning as he knocked on the car window, wanting to talk to her… Realizing she didn’t have much of a choice, Raina lowered her car window, with Xigbar greeting her, “Hello, Raina. I'm Xigbar, an Inquisitor in the New World Order. I believe you took something from me back in Chicago.” “Oh, the Obelisk,” Raina replied, “I see what this is now. I can help you-” Before Raina could finish her sentence, Xigbar pointed one of his Arrowguns at Raina, warning her, “Raina, I'm not like most of the individuals with whom you interact. I'm not easily confused. I've been around longer than you can even imagine. I know when someone is trying to trick me, which I have to say is a really bad idea. Luckily for you, I’m a nice guy. So, how ‘bout this… next time we meet, you have the Obelisk ready to hand over to us. Once you give it to us, we’ll forget we even met, so you won’t have to worry about going to prison. Oh, and one more thing… don’t try running away, trying to avoid us, ‘cause we can find you wherever you are. Sound good?” Seeing Raina nervously nod in response to what he said, Xigbar said, “Alright then. We’ll be out of your hair for now. Hope our next meeting is a better one.” Seeing Xigbar leave with the Stormtroopers and Cybermen, Raina began breathing heavily, not sure on what to do with the ultimatum she was given. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ Spoiler: BGM “Hey, Rei,” Hiro greeted Rei as he and Baymax approached her, “I’ve been hearing how you wanted to do a livestream for Rebels around the world. Well, as it turns out, some of us in the base are planning an attack later today at a TV station in Osaka belonging to the New World Order’s Holonet News, where we also plan to steal some of the equipment there, which could come in use with making a livestream. So what do you think? Good idea?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Russia - The Ural Mountains~ “How much farther?” Moana questioned as she, Lydia, Lucario, and Maui were trekking through the snowy Ural Mountain range in Russia, intending to locate the legendary Keyblade Master and Korrina’s grandfather, Luke Skywalker. “Shouldn’t be too far,” Maui answered, “Don’t worry. We’ll be there soon.” As she kept walking, Lydia was holding on to the Keyblade she retrieved from Shalour City, while also taking out her Wayfinder, remembering when Korrina gave it to her. ‘Korrina… one day, I will make things right,’ Lydia thought to herself as she put her Wayfinder back into her pocket, continuing on her way with the others. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again)~ "Hyah! Hyah!" Riku cried as he was practicing with his Keyblade in an open field, feeling more comfortable using it than when it first appeared to him during the attack on the fortress. "Morning, Riku…" Emma greeted Riku as she and Mimi approached him… "Oh, morning, Emma," Riku replied as he stopped practicing, "What's up?" "Oh, it's nothing, just thought I'd come by, and… give you this," Emma said as she grabbed Riku's hand and placed some chocolate on his hand. "Happy Valentine's Day," Emma told Riku as she blushed. Looking at the chocolate that Emma handed him, Riku smiled as he replied, "Thanks Emma. Happy Valentine's Day to you too." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x2)~ “Morning, sweetie,” Katniss greeted Connor as she gave him a kiss and handed him a piece of chocolate, “Happy Valentine’s Day.” “Thank you, Katniss,” Connor replied while his face indicated that his mind seemed to be focused on something else. “What’s wrong?” Katniss asked, “Thinking about the meeting?” “That is correct,” Connor answered, “I was actually getting ready to join with Ember so we can attend the virtual meeting with all the other Rebel leaders in the world.” “Well, I won’t keep you waiting,” Katniss said, “Good luck. Let me know how it goes.” Nodding, Connor went to find Ember so they could attend an important virtual meeting being held with all the other Rebel leaders in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x3)~ As Shang was looking over the base, he was soon joined by Mulan… "Good morning, Shang," Mulan greeted Shang, "Is something on your mind?" "No… just feeling relieved," Shang replied. "Relieved?" Mulan asked. Nodding, Shang replied, "When Ratonhnhaké:ton brought over the Rebels from Japan, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to train them hard enough for what they were about to face. But after what happened with the fortress, I've never felt more relieved than I was when we captured it. I know it's been three days since we captured the fortress, but every day I fear what might've happened if we didn't prepare enough." "No offense, but you do worry a bit too much," Mulan said as she smiled, "I always had faith in Ratonhnhaké:ton's group, even before we trained them. Individuals can be more resilient than you give them credit for." Smiling, Shang replied, "Heh, I suppose you're right. Thank you, Mulan." As she nodded, Mulan suddenly remembered something. Taking out some chocolate from her pocket, Mulan handed it to Shang, telling him, "Almost forgot… Happy Valentine's Day." "Thanks. I really appreciate it, Mulan," Shang replied as he smiled at her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital - Tokyo Cathedral~ Spoiler: BGM While Matt and Foggy were sitting alone in a pew, still thinking about what had happened three days ago, Yang approached the two, noticing how troubled they seemed… “Matthew,” Yang greeted Matt as he sat next to the demon. “Yang,” Matt greeted Yang back. “Still thinking about what happened that night I see,” Yang commented. “It wasn't my fault,” Matt replied. “What wasn't?” Yang asked. “The man’s death,” Matt answered, “The eyewitness who was supposed to be guaranteed protection by the police. I tried to save him.” “No one said it was your fault,” Yang told Matt. “Yeah,” Matt replied as he sighed, “There's a new man in town, he's, uh, killing others in cold blood.” “So I heard,” Yang commented, “Must have been a busy couple nights.” “And a man who I promised to protect is now dead,” Matt replied. “That work is done, Matthew,” Yang told the demon. “Because I failed,” Matt replied as he chuckled. “At least you tried,” Yang told Matt. “Well, as you would say for any soul, his life had value,” Matt replied, “A whole world's been lost and others are dying one after the other-” “Matthew, what are you looking for?” Yang asked as he interrupted Matt. “Forgiveness,” Matt answered. “For what?” Yang asked. “Uh... not doing more?” Matt replied. “You just said you did everything you could,” Yang told Matt, “If you're the man I understand you to be, I'm sure that's true.” “Then why do I still feel guilty?” Matt questioned. “Guilt can be a good thing,” Yang answered after thinking for a bit on what to say, “It's the soul's call to action. The indication that... something is wrong. The only way... to rid your heart of it... is to correct your mistakes and keep going... until amends are made. I don't know what you didn't do or what you should have done. But the guilt... the guilt… means your work is not yet finished.” “Thank you,” Matt thanked Yang as he nodded, “Foggy, let’s go.” “Osha,” Foggy replied, nodding as he followed Matt towards the cathedral’s exit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x4)~ As Thor was on his way to get some breakfast, he was approached by Luna, who had something for him… "Thor," Luna greeted Thor. "Yes, Luna?" Thor replied, wondering what Luna wanted to talk about. "Just… wanted to give you this," Luna replied, blushing as she handed Thor a piece of chocolate, "Happy Valentine's Day." "Luna… thank you," Thor thanked Luna as he smiled at her, "This means a lot coming from you. Happy Valentine's Day." Luna simply smiled without saying a word happy to hear that Thor like her Valentine's Day chocolate gift. "Anyway, I was on my way to get some breakfast," Thor said, "Want to come?" "Sure," Luna replied as she nodded, following Thor to get some breakfast. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown (Again)~ Whistling to himself after getting some breakfast and taking a seat to eat, John Smith noticed Rose coming to sit by him while placing a piece of chocolate on his tray… “What’s this?” Smith asked. “Chocolate, of course,” Rose replied, “Don’t women give out chocolate during Valentine’s Day in this part of the world?” Smiling as took a bite out of the chocolate Rose gave him, John replied, “You’re not wrong. Thank you, Rose. Happy Valentine’s Day.” “Happy Valentine’s Day to you as well,” Rose said as she gave John a kiss on the cheek. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x5)~ Stretching as he was waking up, Marco yawned as he got up from his bed, but was surprised at the sight of chocolate all over his bed. "What the…?" Marco wondered out loud, wondering how all the chocolate ended up in his bed. "Gooood morning, Marco!" Star greeted Marco, surprising him as she appeared next to her bed while carrying lots of pieces of chocolate… "Uhh, Star… what are you doing?" Marco questioned. "Duh, it's Valentine's Day, you silly goose," Star replied, "Apparently, girls on Earth are supposed to give out chocolate on this day for no real reason. So, here ya go!" As Star dumped some more chocolate on Marco's bed, Marco said, "I… think there's a bit more to it than that, Star. Still, I appreciate the thought. Happy Valentine's Day, Star." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flashback: 22 Years Ago (1992) - Apartment Building in Tokyo, Japan~ It was night. Kids were playing a game of basketball outside an apartment building. And in one of the apartments, a man from Africa named N’Jobu was planning something dangerous with his friend, James, who was of African descent and had known N’Jobu ever since he came to Japan... “Hey look, if we get in and out quick won't be no worries,” N’Jobu told James as the two were looking over a map with rifles to the side of it, “You in the van, come in through from the west, come around the corner, land right here.” As James nodded in response, N’Jobu continued, “Me and the twins pulling up right here, we leavin' this car behind, ok? We comi-” Suddenly, N’Jobu stopped as he suddenly heard a familiar sound, although James didn’t seem to hear anything, as he appeared to wonder what N’Jobu had heard. “Hide the straps,” N’Jobu ordered James. James and N’Jobu then quickly hid any weapons laying around, as well as any maps that would indicate what they were planning. As N’Jobu peered out the window, looking at the kids playing basketball several floors below, James asked, “Yo… is it the cops?” “No,” N’Jobu responded. Just then, the two heard a knock on the door. Walking over to the door and looking out of the peephole, James turned to face N’Jobu with a confused expression in his face, saying, “It's two bald Grace Jones looking chicks... they're holding spears.” “Open it,” N’Jobu ordered James, knowing exactly who was outside. “You serious?” James asked. “They won't knock again,” N’Jobu responded. Doing as he was told, James opened the door, and in came two members of the Dora Milaje, an elite group of female bodyguards and royal security of the king of Wakanda. The two women then looked at N’Jobu, with one of them asking N’Jobu in the Xhosa language, “Who are you?” “Prince N'Jobu, son of Azzuri,” N’Jobu answered, now speaking with an African accent as opposed to the accent he was faking when talking to James. “Prove to me you are one of us,” the same woman asked in the Xhosa language once more. N’Jobu then grabbed his bottom lip and flipped it, revealing a Vibranium threaded tattoo glowing blue with Wakandan script (like this). Both women then swiftly slammed their spears down in unison, making the sound of an EMP. All electronics in the room instantly died out. Moments later, the women hit the floor with their spears again, and the lights come back on, only this time, King T’Chaka of Wakanda appeared in the room, wearing his Black Panther outfit, but without a mask… “My King…” N’Jobu said in Xhosa upon seeing T’Chaka, immediately kneeling while also swatting James, urging him to do the same. Once James kneeled as well while gaping in awe, T’Chaka told James, “Leave us.” “This is James. I trust him with my life,” N’Jobu told T’Chaka, “He stays, with your permission, King T'Chaka.” “As you wish,” T’Chaka responded, “At ease.” Once N’Jobu got back up, the two members of the Dora Milaje exited the apartment, leaving King T’Chaka alone with N’Jobu and James. “Come, baby brother,” T’Chaka greeted N’Jobu in Xhosa, smiling as he shared a hug with his younger brother, “Let me see how you are holding up.” Once they finished hugging, T’Chaka looked around the apartment before turning his attention back to N’Jobu, telling him, “You look strong.” “Glory to Bast,” N’Jobu responded, “I am in good health. How is home?” T’Chaka’s mood suddenly darkened as he responded, “Not so good, baby brother. There has been an attack. The Crystal Order… they stole two tons of Vibranium from us and triggered a bomb at the border to escape. Many lives were lost. They knew where we hid the Vibranium, and how to strike. They had someone on the inside.” Seeming to be troubled by what T’Chaka had just said, N’Jobu asked, “Why are you here?” “Because I want you look me in the eyes... and tell me why you betrayed Wakanda,” T’Chaka answered. “I did no such thing,” N’Jobu retorted. Looking at James, T’Chaka told him in Xhosa, “Tell him who you are.” “Zuri, son of Badu,” James replied, revealing that his name was never James, but that he was in fact a Wakandan like N’Jobu as well named Zuri… “What?” a surprised N’Jobu wondered out loud as his face went ashen. As Zuri revealed his Vibranium lip tattoo just as N’Jobu did earlier, N’Jobu grabbed him, saying, “James... James you lied to me? I invite you into my home and you were Wakandan this whole time?” “Leave him,” T’Chaka ordered N’Jobu. “You betrayed Wakanda!” Zuri told N’Jobu. “How could you lie to me like that?!” N’Jobu questioned Zuri. “Stand down!” T’Chaka ordered N’Jobu as he came between him and Zuri, “N’Jobu… did you think that you were the only spy we sent here?” Walking towards the wall, Zuri removed a duffle bag containing a canister with some Vibranium metal inside, showing it to T’Chaka. Realizing that this was enough proof that his brother was a traitor, T’Chaka said, “Prince N'Jobu, you will return home at once, where you will face the council and inform them of your crimes.” A few minutes later, outside the apartment, the kids who were playing basketball were gazing up as they saw what appeared to be an aircraft with strange lights rising to the sky and speeding off.
~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ “Hey there, Clemont,” Dick greeted Clemont as he, Katniss Haymitch, and Connor approached Clemont in his workshop, where Sammy was assisting Clemont… “So, I hear you’ve got some news on that killer robot we brought back from the fortress,” Dick added. “I certainly do,” Clemont answered, “The robot is actually called a Terminator, a robot designed to terminate specific targets. In today’s case, it was targeting Connor. This particular Terminator’s model is T-800, though I suppose we can just refer to it as ‘Terminator’, if that’s easier.” “Have you worked on it?” Katniss asked. “I have,” Clemont replied as he turned to face Sammy, “Sammy, if you may?” Nodding, Sammy removed a piece of cloth covering something in a nearby table, revealing the T-800 Terminator to the others as it laid still on the table, currently disabled… “Pika!” Haymitch cried, alarmed upon noticing the Terminator. “Don’t be alarmed,” Clemont assured the others, “The Terminator’s currently disabled at the moment. But while I had him disabled, I went ahead and checked his programming. I took the liberty of making some modifications.” “And what are these modifications?” Connor asked. “Specifically, a new directive,” Clemont answered, “The Terminator will no longer target others. It’s only purpose now is to protect you Connor, and to also follow any instructions you give him. Watch this… Sammy, switch him on.” Nodding, Sammy switched the Terminator on with a button on the back of the Terminator’s head. Once he was switched on, the Terminator got up, looking at the others as Clemont walked towards him, asking, “Terminator… what is your directive?” “My directive is to ensure the safety and protection of Connor Kenway, also known as Ratonhnhaké:ton, from any danger. I am also to follow any instructions ordered by him,” the Terminator answered. “So, what do you think?” Clemont asked. Walking towards the robot that tried killing him earlier today, Connor observed the Terminator closely, while the Terminator himself also looked at Connor with an emotionless face. “Hmm, I do not see any danger in bringing you along now that your programming has been modified,” Connor said as he turned to face Clemont, “Thank you, Clemont. I feel the Terminator can be of valuable help to us.” “All in a day’s work,” Clemont happily replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Scotland: Underground~ “Hmm, well I got nothing else to do for the rest of the night,” Serena replied to Namine, “I suppose I could model for your sketches. Could take my mind off of things. Fennekin could even provide feedback on your sketches if you’re okay with that.” “Fokka!” Serena’s Fennekin concurred. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter~ “History? What are you talking abou-” Kristoff asked before realizing what Anna was referring to. Turning his attention to Saphir, Kristoff questioned, “What did you tell them?” “I didn’t tell them anything,” Saphir answered. “Yeah, it was that guy with Mr. Bellec,” Olaf added, “I think his name was Jack something…” Sighing as he realized who Olaf was talking about, Kristoff muttered to himself, “Darn it, Jack…” Looking at Anna, Kristoff told her, “Look… I have no intention of discussing my past. Got it? Right now, it’s getting late, and I think we all need some rest right now. Saphir, let’s go.” “Alright,” Saphir replied as he looked at Elsa, smiling at her, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” As both Saphir and Sven followed Kristoff, Olaf looked at Anna and Elsa, telling them, “Well, it’s been a crazy week, but we’re finally together again.” After yawning, Olaf added, “And tired too. We should catch up tomorrow, okay?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OOC: Just a reminder, this is meant to be my final post for the current day, with the next post officially transitioning to the next day. Please make sure to wrap everything up with your characters so we can move on to the next day.

~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ As he was walking around the base, Connor was having an immense headache. ‘What is… happening to me?’ Connor thought to himself as he placed his hand on his head while several images flashed in his mind. The images that were suddenly appearing in Connor’s mind included a group of five hooded individuals wearing masks representing different animals (image), a beautiful palace that appears to be situated on the moon (image), a clock tower that also appears to be a castle (image), and a red-haired evil witch (image). ‘These images… are they… memories?’ Connor thought to himself, ‘No, that is not possible… but why do they feel like memories?’ “Connor? Connor!” two voices cried out to Connor. “Huh?” Connor wondered out loud as his headache suddenly stopped, noticing that the voices he heard were from Katniss and Dick… “Are you alright?” Katniss asked as she, Haymitch, and Dick all had a worried look on their faces. “You weren’t looking so good a couple of seconds ago,” Dick added, “We were worried about you.” “Pikapi,” a worried Haymitch concurred. “I… It is nothing,” Connor replied, “I am sorry that I had you worried.” “You sure?” Katniss asked. Smiling, Connor nodded as he replied, “Do not worry. I am fine.” “Well, if you say so,” Dick said as he shrugged. “Anyway, is there something you wish to speak to me about?” Connor asked. “Actually, yes,” Katniss replied. “Has to do with that killer robot Clemont’s been working on,” Dick added, “Follow us.” Nodding, Connor followed Dick and Katniss as they led him to Clemont’s workshop in the base. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Scotland: Underground~ After leaving the Lor Starcutter and secretly making their way to Fergus’s town, Bellec and his group were following Fergus as he was carrying a lantern and leading them down a dark hallway to a secret underground area where other Rebels were hiding. “Luckily, the New World Order doesn’t know about this place,” Fergus told Bellec and the others as he led them, “An' as long as that's the case, you'll all be safe.” Eventually, the group reached a hideout, where many Rebels resided, some interacting with one another, and others relaxing. “Welcome ta Scotland's secret Rebel base,” Fergus told Bellec and the others, “I know it’s not much…” “It’ll do,” Bellec replied, “As long as I can get in touch with Grant in eastern France, as well as other Rebels around the world, I think staying here will suffice.” “Good,” Fergus said, “In that case, I'll leave ye ta get settled.” “Then that means Jack and I will need to get back to the ship,” Silver commented, “Stay safe, everyone.” “You too, guys,” Serena replied. “Best of luck,” Elise added. Nodding as he silently waved goodbye, Jack followed Silver while Pipsqueak followed him as well, with Fergus leading them back outside. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter~ “I’ll tell you what you’re going to do now,” Kristoff replied to Elsa as he and Sven walked towards Elsa and her group, “Seeing as how Bellec put me in charge of Saphir, as well as you and Anna, I decide what we do. And I say we stay on this ship. It's full of Rebels, so if Saphir here gets some funny idea of trying to escape, we'll be sure to catch him." "You don't have to worry about that. I accept being a prisoner of the Rebel Alliance, and I am willing to fully cooperate," Saphir told Kristoff. "Well, let's hope things stay that way," Kristoff responded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Holonet News Transmission~ “This is Malva with the only news that matters, the Holonet News,” Malva stated on the only existing news channel on Earth right now, “Let’s go live to The Capital where New World Order representative, Sean Spicer, is having a town hall meeting with local citizens about current affairs.” The transmission then cut to live footage in a hall in a building somewhere in The Capital, where citizens were seated, waiting for Sean Spicer to arrive. Eventually, the representative from the New World Order arrived with two Stormtroopers by his side, getting behind his podium and facing the crowd, ready to speak... “ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT, EVERYONE BE SEATED, SIT DOWN! SIT DOWN! SIT DOWN, ALRIGHT!” Sean Spicer ordered those in attendance with a loud angry tone to his voice, “FIRST OF ALL, I’D JUST LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT I’M CALM NOW. AND I WILL REMAIN CALM AS LONG AS YOU SONS OF-" Stopping before he could finish his insult, Spicer shook his head as he looked up and pointed his finger to the ceiling. “I’m not gonna do that, because that’s the old Spicey,” Spicer told everyone as he pointed to himself, “And this is the new Spicey. And I have been told that I’m also gonna cut back on the gum chewing, so I am now limiting myself to one slice a day.” Sean then took out a large roll of chewing gum, and began opening it as he said, “So I’m gonna enjoy my one and only, and you can just sit and watch.” Once he took out the large roll of chewing gum, Spicer took a big bite of it, and began chewing. Eventually, Spicer then took out the large piece of chewing gum and stuck it to the podium, as he told the chewing gum, “I’ll get back to you later.” Shifting his attention to those in attendance while taking out a piece of paper to read, Spicer said, “Now… I’d like to begin with the Supreme Leaders’ schedule. Tomorrow at 3pm local time, Supreme Leaders Al Mualim and Harold Saxon are going to meet with the local commander of New World Order forces in MONGOLIA, Admiral… oh boy…” Spicer suddenly stopped as he realized he was having trouble trying to pronounce the name of the admiral listed on the sheet of paper he was reading from. “Almad… Alzmabek… Attamabakeyek,” Spicer said after attempting to pronounce the admiral’s name, “Okay? To discuss the defeat of Rebel forces in Kahaga… Kahagastan.” After attempting to pronounce the name of the region in Mongolia listed on paper, Spicer continued, “Specifically in, oh God… Attabadda… Attabaddawadda… Attawaddabaddahanaabag.” Shrugging after struggling to name the city listed on the paper he was reading, Spicer continued, “And they will be joined by the admiral’s wife, uh...” Spicer stopped reading and shook his head as he realized trying to pronounce the name listed on paper was going to be impossible for him, saying, “I’m just gonna pass on that one. You know what? Let’s just call her Connie. Alright? Okay… did that… now I’m gonna open it up for questions, and I’m gonna probably FREAK IF YOU START ASKING STUPID ONES. SPEAKING OF FREAKS AND STUPID ONES… GLENN, STUPID HAT, GO.” After Spicer picked Glenn, a familiar face at these town hall meetings (and someone who constantly gets on Sean Spicer’s nerves) to ask a question, Glenn asked, “Look, I just wanted to know what the New World Order plans to do now that Shalour City’s been retaken. Is it time to offer the Rebels a chance to surrender so we can finally have peace?” Exhaling sharply, Spicer took a deep breath and pointed to the ceiling while looking up, trying hard to stay calm as he said, “YOU’RE TESTING ME, BIG GUY!” Shifting his attention back to Glenn, Spicer answered, “UH, LOOK, IT’S SIMPLE. NO, WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! IF THE REBELS WANNA TALK, THEN THE NEW WORLD ORDER WILL SEE THEM IN COURT, SPECIFICALLY, ‘THE PEOPLE’S COURT’!” “That show isn’t real,” Glenn commented. “DURR… THAT SHOW ISN’T REAL!” Spicer mockingly imitated Glenn, “OH YEAH, UGH… I’M GLENN AND I’M NOT REALLY…” Shaking his head after he stopped mocking Glenn, Spicer yelled, “IT IS REAL, GLENN! IT SAYS THAT RIGHT BEFORE EACH CASE, GLENN! IT SAYS, ‘THE CASES ARE REAL, THE RULINGS ARE FINAL’! God… don’t eff with me Glenn. NEXT QUESTION, THIS TURKEY!” A man in the crowd who was just referred to as a ‘turkey’ by Spicer asked, “Uh, going back to the topic of Shalour City… what will be done to make sure Rebels don’t re-enter the area?” “UHH, IT’S EASY… IT’S CALLED EXTREME VETTING. EXTREME VETTING,” Spicer answered. “Uhh… but what does that mean, ‘extreme vetting’?” a woman asked. “WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! HA… IT MEANS IT’S ‘EXTREME’!” Spicer answered, seemingly surprised that no one is understanding what he’s saying, “OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?! SPICY’S GONNA EXPLAIN IT SO YOU DUMB BABIES CAN UNDERSTAND IT! SO I GUESS I CAN’T USE MY BIG WORDS! I’M GONNA HAVE TO USE MY DOLLIES!” Spicer then took out two boxes from under the podium, placing them right next to him where the crowd could see them. “ALRIGHT? READY FOR DOLLIES?” Spicer loudly asked the crowd, “YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON? HERE’S HOW IT’S GONNA GO DOWN. YOU’VE GOT YOUR STORMTROOPER RIGHT HERE.” Spicer took out a Stormtrooper action figure from one of the boxes as he continued, “OKAY? AND FIRST, YOU GOT BARBIE COMING IN TO SHALOUR CITY.” Spicer then took out a Barbie doll from the other box, showing it to the crowd with the Stormtrooper action figure as he continued, “NICE GIRL… A MODEL CITIZEN OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER, BACK FROM A DREAM VACATION. WE KNOW SHE’S OKAY! SO SHE GETS IN!” Upon throwing the Barbie doll back into the box, Spicer continued, “EASY. WE UNDERSTAND, THEY’RE PERFECT. NOW WHO’S UP NEXT?” Reaching into one of the boxes, Spicer took out a MMPR Pink Ranger action figure as he said, “Uh-oh… UH-OH… IT’S A POWER RANGER.” Showing both the Stormtrooper and Pink Ranger action figures to the crowd, Spicer began roleplaying as the Stromtrooper talking to the Pink Ranger, saying, “WOAH… WOAH… SLOW YOUR ROLL HONEY!” Spicer then had the Stormtrooper action figure appear to be patting down the Pink Ranger as he said, “AND THEN WE’RE GONNA PAT HER DOWN. AND THEN WE’RE GONNA READ HER EMAILS. AND IF WE DON’T LIKE WHAT WE READ, WHICH WE WON’T... BOOM!” Spicer then had the Stormtrooper action figure point a blaster at the Pink Ranger action figure, pretending to shoot her, and then detached the Pink Ranger action figure’s head to illustrate the point that she would be killed on sight. Spicer then threw the Pink Ranger and Stormtrooper action figures back into a box as he said, “EXECUTED ON SIGHT!” Walking back to the podium, Spicer yelled, “ALRIGHT, LET’S GO! NEXT QUESTION! YES?” “Yes, earlier this week, you said there was a Rebel attack in Atlanta, even though there were no reports of anything happening there,” a woman from the crowd told Spicer. “AH, PFFT… UH, YEAH, I SAID THAT WRONG WHEN I SAID IT, AND… THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT IT WITH OTHERS! WHICH MAKES YOU WRONG! BECAUSE WHEN I SAY SOMETHING WRONG, YOU GUYS SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS I AM MEANING! WRONG OR RIGHT! YOU’RE WRONG! AND THAT’S WHY YOU’RE HERE!” Spicer replied, “OBVIOUSLY, I MEANT… ORLANDTA!” “Uh, you mean Orlando?” the same woman asked. “You know what, you stupid…” Spicer angrily said as he grabbed the large piece of gum he stuck to the podium, and threw it at the woman who was asking him a question. “OKAY? LOOK, THE PROBLEM IS ALL THESE TERRORIST INSTANCES AND INCIDENTS THAT REBELS ARE BEHIND THAT YOU’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT!” Spicer angrily yelled as he took out a piece of paper, showing it to the crowd, “OKAY? I HAVE A WHOLE LIST HERE OF THINGS THAT ACTUALLY, YOU GUYS NEVER EVEN TALK ABOUT. NEVER DISCUSSED THEM ONCE! LET’S READ FROM THE LIST, OKAY? AN ATTACK ON A RESEARCH FACILITY OUTSIDE OF SIOUX FALLS TODAY! OKAY? ALSO, AN ATTACK ON THE LOCAL NEW WORLD ORDER FACILITY IN IRKUTSK, RUSSIA! AND AN INCIDENT AT THE SAN DIEGO HARBOR! OKAY?! WE NEED INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL BRING BACK LAW AND ORDER, BECAUSE PLACES LIKE CHICAGO, FOR EXAMPLE… THEIR REBEL ATTACK RATE THERE IS OVER 80%. 80% OF THE PEOPLE IN CHICAGO HAVE BEEN MURDERED AND NOW DEAD! AND THAT’S ON YOU! YOU DID THAT!” “Yeah, okay… you know what? I’m looking at the real numbers here,” one woman in the crowd said as she was searching statistics regarding Chicago on her phone, “And they directly contradict everything that you-” Sean Spicer suddenly interrupted the woman by propelling air towards her with a leaf blower, pointing it at her face and at her skirt, briefly revealing the woman’s underwear as a result. “YOU LIKE THAT?! YOU LIKE THAT?!” Sean Spicer yelled at the woman as he returned back to his podium and threw the leaf blower to the side, facing the crowd once more, “YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS?! THAT WAS ME BLOWING AWAY HER DISHONESTY! ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?!” “Yeah, uh… just mentally though… are you okay?” a man in the crowd asked. “Are you kidding me?” Sean angrily questioned as he pressed on a button on his podium, allowing him to drive his podium. Sean then began driving his podium straight towards the man who asked the question as he yelled, “ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING ME THAT QUESTION?!” As the man Spicer was charging towards quickly got out of the way, Spicer began driving his podium towards all the other people in the crowd, causing them to run around and panic while Spicer yelled, “YOU BETTER RUN! YOU BETTER RUN, ALL OF YOU! YOU BETTER RUN! YOU… YOU DON’T HAVE A CHANCE! SPICEY… SPICEY’S COMING!”
~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ “Perhaps… that is why I feel that particular way,” Connor commented. “How you feel what?” Rini asked. “I told Darien earlier today that I always feel like he and Serena were meant for each other whenever I see them together,” Connor replied as he took a sip of his tea, “Maybe that has something to do with why I keep trying to remember something when I see them.” “Connor… you really had to bring that up again?” Darien questioned as he blushed. Laughing in response, Connor took another sip of his tea. But as he drank his tea, Connor’s vision began to cloud. ‘What…?’ Connor thought to himself, wondering what was happening to his vision. But as Connor looked at Serena and Darien, he noticed their appearance change a bit, with Serena appearing to look like a beautiful princess wearing a white dress while Darien looked like a regal prince wearing a black suit and cape (like this). Connor had a major sense of familiarity upon seeing Darien and Serena like this, feeling as though he had met them while they were like that. But with this sense of familiarity came a feeling of pain and sadness, something Connor couldn’t understand why he was feeling, causing him to gasp and drop his teacup as tears rolled down his eyes. “Connor? Are you okay?” Rini asked. “Huh… what?” Connor replied as he snapped out of it, shaking his head and blinking his eyes, noticing his vision returned to normal, and was able to see Serena and Darien as they were. “Did something happen?” Darien asked as he got up, wanting to check on Connor. “I… I am not sure,” Connor replied as he got up, wondering what had just happened to him. “Are you… crying?” Rini asked. “What?” Connor replied as he felt his face, noticing that there were indeed tears on his face, “I… I think I have to go. Good night, friends.” “Umm, yeah, good night,” Darien responded as Connor left in a hurry. “Is he gonna be okay?” Rini asked as she picked up the teacup that Connor dropped. “I hope so Rini,” Darien replied as he sat back down, looking at Serena, “What do you think might’ve happened to him just now?” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter~ Feeling the Lor Starcutter land somewhere as Star Dream asked those onboard to go to Communications, Bellec said, “Hmm, it seems that the ship has landed near Fergus’s town. I suppose we should be getting off.” “But what about this meeting over in Communications?” Jack asked. “I’m afraid we are going to have to skip it. I’m sure it has nothing to do with us,” Bellec replied, “The important thing is that my group has arrived at our destination.” “Okay, so I guess I’ll be joining you, sir?” Kristoff asked Bellec. “Actually, Kristoff, I believe I have a mission for you,” Bellec replied. “Uh, sure thing, sir,” Kristoff said, “What is it?” "Now that Saphir is a prisoner of ours, I need you to accompany him, along with Elsa and Anna at all times wherever they go," Bellec told Kristoff. "Wait, what?!" Kristoff exclaimed, not liking the thought of having to escort Anna after what she did to him, "Sir, please, with all due respect, I request a different assignment." "Request denied," Bellec told Kristoff, "You told me yourself that you wanted to continue helping the Rebellion. Well, now this is your chance. You should be thanking me. I doubt we'll be seeing much action in Scotland. This is your chance to get back to doing something after what happened in Arendelle. You understand?" Sighing, Kristoff replied, "Yes, sir… understood. Let me just go get Sven." Nodding as Kristoff left, Bellec told Jack, "Well, Sparrow… I guess we should be getting off this ship." "Right behind you,” Jack responded. But before he left with Bellec, Jack whispered to Anna, “Just a word of advice… don’t take Kristoff’s words too personally. Poor lad lost his entire family of trolls to the New World Order. Same with all of his Rebel friends in Arendelle. He’s been through a lot. But, that’s all I have to say. Take care.” As Jack left with Bellec, he looked up as he spoke to Star Dream, saying, “Oi, Voice… Silver and I will need to be transported back to the coast where Silver’s boat is once we’re done in this town.” “So, do we go to Communications?” Olaf asked.
YES!!!YES!!!YES!!!YES!!!YES!!! It's about time the adorable teenage Muslim superhero gets a live-action adaptation. I have been waiting so long for Ms. Marvel to make her debut in the MCU.
~Lor Starcutter: Room Near Communications~ “Oww!” Kristoff cried after getting hit by Anna, letting go of Saphir. "You alright, mate?" Jack asked Kristoff. "Yeah, don't worry about me. I've got a thick skull. Nothing can break it," Kristoff replied. “Saphir!” Olaf cried as he rushed to his friend, “You okay?” “Y-Yeah, I’m fine, Olaf,” Saphir responded as he slowly got up. “Hey, that hurt!” Kristoff complained to Anna, “A simple ‘No, please don’t hurt him’ would’ve been preferable than hitting me." “That’s enough you two,” Bellec told Anna and Kristoff, “Anyway, it looks like Saphir will remain alive, under the close watch of the Rebels.” “Well, that’s good, I suppose,” Olaf commented. As for Saphir, he looked at Elsa, noticing she had blushed after hearing what he said. “Elsa, I…” Saphir said as he approached her, completely at a loss for words. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ "Mmm, the tea's good," Rini said as she took a sip. "It sure is," Darien concurred, "But be careful Rini. It's hot. Drink it slowly." "Alright," Rini responded. Meanwhile, as Connor was drinking his tea, he was staring at Serena and Darien, even though he wasn't sure why he felt like doing that. "Uh, Connor… you okay?" Darien asked, "Is there something on our faces?" "Huh?" Connor replied as he snapped out of it, coming back to his senses as he shook his head, "I am sorry. My apologies for that." "What's wrong, Connor?" Rini asked. "I am not sure," Connor answered, "It is strange, but when I look at Darien and Serena together, I get the feeling that I am forgetting something important, and that I am trying to remember." "Really?" Darien asked, "So, you feel it too…” “What was that?” Connor asked, not hearing the last par of what Darien said. “Oh, nothing,” Darien responded, taking a sip of his tea. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again)~ "Well, don't forget, she is an old lady. Not sure she's capable of fighting back, given her old age," Ritchie replied to Rey, "And besides, she's been searched thoroughly. No tracking devices or anything like that on her. The worst we can expect is having the New World Order trying to attack and take back that fortress we took over. But from what I've heard, the fortress's defenses should be enough to repel against any New World Order attack. So, there's really no reason to worry about anything."
~Lor Starcutter~ “Umm…” Serena replied to Hermione as she shrugged while scratching her head, “I don’t think I’m the right person to ask that question. I may support Riders, but I am by no means an expert. Sorry…” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter (Again)~ “As a matter of fact, yes,” Jack responded to Elsa, “Follow me, please.” Eventually, Jack led Anna, Elsa, and Olaf to a room near communications, where Bellec and Kristoff were waiting along with Saphir… “Elsa! Anna! You’re alright!” Saphir happily cried at the sight of the two sisters. “Stay down!” Kristoff ordered Saphir, forcefully dragging him to his knees on the ground. “Ah, Elsa and Anna, the famous sisters from Arendelle,” Bellec greeted the two sisters, “I am Pierre Bellec, leader of the French-wing of the Rebel Alliance. I believe you two are already acquainted with Saphir here. Anyway, a short while ago, we have been questioning Saphir, and he claims that you two are not loyal to the New World Order. After much thought, I believe he is telling the truth about you two, so I will not treat you two as enemies.” “Even though I disagree with that assessment,” Kristoff commented. “Oh, and this here is Kristoff,” Bellec continued, “Like the two of you, he too is from Arendelle. Don’t take this personal, but he doesn’t exactly trust you two despite what I said. Anyway, while I trust you, I am at a loss at what to do with Saphir. His presence wouldn’t be much of a danger to the Rebels, if at all. But should we keep him as a prisoner, or should we just finish him off?” Kristoff then grabbed Saphir’s hair, holding him tight as he took out a pocket knife and positioned it under Saphir’s neck. As Olaf gasped while he watched his friend struggling to break free of Kristoff’s hold, crying, “Please, don’t hurt him!” “Well, snowman, that all depends on Anna and Elsa,” Bellec responded, “Because I am letting them decide what happens to Saphir. They can either let him live and remain a prisoner, or let him die by having Kristoff slit his throat. Their choice.” “Elsa! I just… wanted to say… I love you!” Saphir cried as Kristoff continued holding him tight, not knowing if he would ever get another chance to tell Elsa how he truly felt. “Well… that certainly makes things interesting,” Jack commented after hearing what Saphir said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ Spoiler: BGM After setting up a campfire outside their shack, Darien sat next to it as he commented, “Now this is a great way to spend the night.” “Yeah,” Rini concurred as she too sat next to the fire, “I wish we had some marshmallows. I’d really love to make s’mores right now.” “Maybe when this is all over, we can go camping and make some,” Darien suggested. “I’d like that,” Rini replied. “I hope I am not interrupting,” Connor said as he approached the group while carrying a tray with cups of hot tea… “Do you mind if I joined you?” Connor asked. “Not at all,” Darien replied as he and Rini both shook their heads, “Please, join us.” Happily nodding, Connor took a seat next to the fire as he said, “They are handing out cups of hot green tea to celebrate our victory at the fortress today. I got one for each of us.” “Thanks, Connor!” Darien thanked Connor as the Rebel leader handed a cup to Darien, Serena, and Rini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again)~ "Hey, Rey," Ritchie greeted Rey as he approached her while carrying two warm cups of tea while Sparky was relaxing on his shoulder, "Thought you might want some tea. They're handing them out for anyone who wants some. You okay? Is something bothering you?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x2)~ As Riku continued practicing with his Keyblade, he was approached by Emma and Mimi… “Hey, Riku,” Emma greeted Riku. “Hey,” Riku responded as he stopped practicing with his Keyblade, “What’s up?” “Oh nothing, just thought I’d check up on you after what happened at the fortress,” Emma said, “Seems like you’re getting used to your new weapon.” “Yeah,” Riku replied as he looked at his Keyblade, “Still don’t know why it appeared to me all of a sudden. I still think I need more time to properly wield it though.” “Right…” Emma said, “Listen, Riku, I was thinking, and… I’ve decided to stay here in China. I won’t be continuing on the journey around the world. I need to be a better fighter, and I feel like practicing with Shao Jun and Shang can make me the fighter I wanna be.” “Nyapa,” Mimi concurred, nodding. “You know, I was thinking of the same thing,” Riku said, “Especially now that I have this Keyblade. I definitely need more training, and I feel that the environment here is perfect.” “So, guess we’ll be staying?” Emma asked. Nodding, Riku replied, “Yeah, we’re staying.” “Well, hope our continued training here is worth it,” Emma commented. “I hope so too,” Riku agreed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x3)~ “Gotta say, you really did a number on those Stormtroopers with your hammer, Thor,” Discord commended Thor as they, along with Star, Marco, Celestia, and Luna were having tea together. “Yes, and Star’s pancake and syrup spell was certainly a unique way to stick it to those Stormtroopers… no pun intended,” Thor replied. “Oh, but we couldn’t have done all that without Discord helping out by summoning a portal on the Stormtroopers,” Star added. And as Thor, Discord, and Star continued commending each other, Marco, Celestia, and Luna simply watched the three silently while sweatdropping, not knowing what to say to contribute to their discussion. “Either one of you feel awkward?” Marco asked Celestia and Luna. “Well, yes, but I think it’s sweet those three became such good friends all thanks to today’s mission,” Celestia replied. “My thoughts exactly,” Luna added. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Minato District - Park~ “Penny? Penny?” Gumball called out to Penny as he walked around the dark park, trying to look for her. Eventually, Gumball spotted Penny (currently in a wolf form) looking at the sky… Noticing Gumball walking towards him, Penny quickly looked away. “You know... I… I was trying to protect you back there,” Gumball told Penny. “Yes, I know,” Penny responded. “And you know why?” Gumball asked. “Yes, I know why,” Penny answered, “But just look at me, I’m ugly. What will you think when others laugh at us?” “No offense, but you kiiinda looked like a big coconut with holes in it before,” Gumball said. “But do you really think you could love... THIS?!?” Penny questioned as she bared her teeth and growled at Gumball. “That's not what you are, it's just how you feel,” Gumball responded, “And this is how I feel…” Grabbing Penny, Gumball gave her a kiss on the lips, with Penny’s eyes widening in surprise. As they kissed, Penny began shape-shifting into all the other forms she previously shape-shifted to before reverting back to her original S-type form (like this). Once the two were done, Gumball and Penny stared at each other affectionately. Meanwhile, a couple of yards away, both Patrick Fitzgerald and Gumball’s family were watching, happy for the two lovebirds… “That is so beautiful!” Richard cried with tears of happiness in his eyes as he carried Nicole (who was still limp from getting hot with a dart earlier), “Only it didn’t have to have a sad ending like in their play!” “Yeah, I kinda think we all got that, Dad,” Anais told her father.
~Targoviste, Romania~ Fuming after Diend and the others got away, Bellatrix turned to one of the Stormtroopers, pointing her wand at him as she yelled, “Avada Kedavra!” As the Inquisitor killed one of her own Stormtroopers, the others looked at her in fear, hoping she doesn’t kill either of them as well. “This... is what happens when you fail me,” Bellatrix told the others, “I have been too forgiving to failure. But from now on, anyone under my command who fails will be punished accordingly. Do I make myself clear?” “Y-yes, ma’am,” the others all replied nervously. “Good,” Bellatrix said, “Now search the city! I don’t know if they’re still around, but if they are, kill them on sight.” Everyone else nodded as the Stormtroopers dispersed while Attila and Hun summoned Steelix and Muk back into their Pokeballs before running off as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base~ Spoiler: BGM As the Rebels returned from the fortress they captured, Riku walked towards an open field, summoning his Keyblade, wondering why it appeared to him all of a sudden, why he was able to wield such a weapon, and whether there were other Keyblade wielders as Madame Gao seemed to hint. Shaking his head, Riku figured that these questions of his will have to be answered some other time, and began swinging his Keyblade around, figuring that now that he had his own weapon, he’d have to train himself to use it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again)~ Returning to their shack along with Serena, Darien and Rini felt a sense of relief that they were able to make it back after the tough battle earlier today. “The stars look beautiful,” Rini commented as she looked up at the night sky. “Yeah, they sure do,” Darien concurred as he looked up to the sky as well, “Let me set up a campfire.” “Okay,” Rini said. Pretty soon, the group noticed Sammy arrive to the scene… “Hey,” Sammy greeted Rini, Darien, and Serena, “Heard the Rebels were able to kick some New World Order butt. Were you part of the attack, Darien?” “Yup,” Darien replied. “Me and Serena had to stay here the whole time waiting for him to get back,” Rini added, lying to keep her and Serena’s secrets that they’re Sailor Scouts hidden from Sammy. “Right. Well, great job anyway,” Sammy told Darien, “Glad those New World Order losers got what they deserved. Anyway, I just came by to say I’m gonna be working with Clemont for the rest of the night. He taught me how to fix a generator. Now he wants me to help out taking apart a killer robot that tried to kill Connor during the battle today. Later.” “Yeah, good luck with that,” Darien replied as Sammy left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x2)~ “We’ve dispatched a number of Rebels to the fortress,” Ember reported to Connor after they returned to the base, “No doubt the New World Order will attack in order to reclaim it. Thankfully, the weapons there should be enough to repel against any New World Order attack.” “Good work, Ember,” Connor commended Ember, “For now, let us rest and celebrate. It has been a long day.” “I agree, Ratonhnhaké:ton,” Ember concurred, “Might I suggest a warm cup of green tea? After an exhausting day like today, some tea can certainly relax an individual, ensuring they get a nice, peaceful sleep. We’ll be handing some out later in case you wanted some.” “Thank you, Ember,” Connor thanked Ember, “I think we all need something like that tonight.” Nodding, Ember left as Connor watched Rebels in the base returning to the places where they’d be staying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: Rebel Base (Again x3)~ “Alright, get in,” Yao ordered Madame Gao, pushing her inside an empty shack, “Hope ya like solitary confinement, ‘cause you’re gonna be staying here for a long time.” “Heh, serves you right, you old hag!” Ling added as he and Yao laughed, closing the door to the shack and locking it tight. Looking around at what was now her prison, Madame Gao sighed as she took a seat on the nearby bed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Minato District~ As Gumball ran after Penny to a nearby park, a pest control van arrived to the scene and came to a complete stop, with the man driving the van carrying a dart gun as he opened his van window, and leaned out of the window as he said, “Pest control! Anyone seen an ugly cow on steroids?” Noticing Penny currently taking the form of a hairy creature, the pest control guy shrugged and said, “Eh, close enough.” As the pest control guy loaded his dart gun and aimed at Penny, Patrick Fitzgerald drove his car and rammed it into the pest control van, making the pest control guy miss his shot… Penny continued on her way into the park, while Patrick leaned out of his car window, telling Gumball, “Hey, kid! Go get her.” Happy to see Patrick finally come to his senses in regards to his daughter, Gumball nodded as he followed Penny. As the airbag in Patrick’s car deployed, completely covering Patrick’s face, the pest control guy got out of his van and loaded his dart gun once more to aim at Penny. However, the rest of Gumball’s family arrived to the scene on a car, blocking the pest control guy’s aim… “Stop! I command you to stop!” Nicole ordered the pest control guy as she stepped out of the driver’s seat, holding out her hand. However, the pest control guy accidentally shot a dart that hit Nicole’s hand, causing the right side of her body to become limp. “Oh, creepers! I am so sorry, madam!” the pest control guy apologized to Nicole after realizing what he did. “How dare you! You shot me!” Nicole scolded the pest control guy while slurring, turning to face Anais and Darwin, “Kids, help me teach this guy a lesson.” Nodding, both Anais and Darwin grabbed Nicole’s right arm and leg, stretching them all the way to the pest control guy, and using them to repeatedly slap him. Meanwhile, Richard stepped out of the car, and yelled to Gumball, “That's it, Gumball! Go save your love!” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~African Savannah - Xehanort’s Fortress~ “A Keyblade, you say?” Master Xehanort asked as Starlight Glimmer was reporting to him what happened in South Dakota. “Correct,” Starlight replied, “And the pony wielding it seemed very familiar to me… I can’t seem to think why.” “Hmm, this is all very interesting,” Xehanort said, “Either way, that pony and the other Rebels accompanying him indicates that there must be a Rebel presence in Sioux Falls.” “I’ll gladly volunteer to root them out, Master Xehanort,” Starlight Glimmer replied, giving the Grand Inquisitor a bow. “Very well. You may proceed, Starlight Glimmer,” Xehanort said, “The Nobodies will continue to assist you with your mission.” Nodding, Starlight Glimmer left the area, while Xehanort thought to himself, ‘Another Keyblade wielder… he may be a Rebel, but if we are careful with how we deal with him, he could become a new vessel…’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room~ “A Rider? That’s so cool,” Serena said in awe after hearing what Hermione told her, “I’m so glad there are still some of you left considering what happened with the Great Purge. We had some Riders in France too. But, once the New World Order came along, they were killed off, with their bodies hung across Lumiose City to instill fear in us. ‘Horrific’ doesn’t even begin to describe the sight of seeing their bodies.” “Fokka,” Serena’s Fennekin concurred, nodding. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room (Again)~ “Ah, there you are,” Jack greeted Elsa and Anna, “Allow me introduce myself. My name is Jack Sparrow of the Rebel Alliance. If you wouldn’t mind, Pierre Bellec, the highest ranking Rebel on this ship, would like to speak to you regarding certain matters. Please, follow me.” Meanwhile, as he was walking around, Olaf noticed Anna and Elsa… Gasping, Olaf ran towards the sisters, happy to see them as he cried, “Anna! Elsa! I’m so glad to see you!” As the snowman hugged the two sisters, Jack told them, “You can bring over some guests should you wish. The snowman included.”
~Targoviste, Romania~ Angered by Diend’s appearance, Bellatrix took out her wand and pointed it at the Rider that had just appeared, yelling, “Crucio!” As Bellatrix inflicted excruciating pain on Diend by using the Cruciatus Curse, Steelix and Muk, having recovered from Diend’s earlier attack, went back on the offensive, with Muk sneaking behind Ron, and hitting him hard with its arm for a Poison Jab attack while Steelix charged towards Ginny. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress~ Spoiler: BGM Spoiler: Long List of Characters Reaching the flagpole he saw earlier, Connor removed the New World Order flag that was attached to it, tossing it aside. As the New World Order flag that Connor tossed landed near Mushu (who burned it with his fire breath), the Rebels watched as Connor attached a Rebel flag to the flagpole, raising it high as many of the Rebels cheered at the sight of the Rebel flag. “Rebels!” Connor called out to the Rebels below, “Today, we showed that no matter how strong the New World Order is… how much they outnumber us… they are not invincible! When we work together, we can achieve what others say is impossible! And if we continue to battle side by side towards our common goal, I know that we will succeed in the end! So without further ado, I claim this fortress in the name of the Rebel Alliance! No longer will individuals have to suffer torture and death under the wrath of Madame Gao! And I say to the New World Order, if you come back, we will be ready to fight! For the Rebellion!” “For the Rebellion!” Ember repeated after Connor while raising her fist. “For the Rebellion!” the rest of the Rebels repeated, cheering as they raised their fists as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Minato District~ After getting launched towards the sky, Gumball landed on Penny’s back as she continued flying while in her dragon form. “I'm not letting you leave!” Gumball cried as he held on. “Gumball, no! You'll get hurt!” Penny warned Gumball before noticing a small private jet headed their way. “Ah! Look out!” Gumball cried as Penny flew out of the jet’s direction in the nick of time, barely dodging it. However, that caused Penny to begin losing control as she descended closer to the ground, now flying slightly above houses as Gumball was now holding on to her leg. “Penny! Go up, go up, GO UP!” Gumball cried. “You're too heavy!” Penny replied while continuing to struggle flying, “Gumball, get off. Let me go!” “NO!” Gumball insisted, not wanting to let go. Eventually, Penny now found herself flying around a nearby highway, trying to dodge oncoming cars. “Why do you care about me?” Penny questioned Gumball as she continued dodging cars, “I'm nothing to you now.” Seeing a truck coming their way, Gumball quickly tried to think of a way to survive. It was then he realized that the forms that Penny shape-shifted to were based on her emotions, leading to Gumball having a light bulb moment. “Y-You know what? Maybe you're right, you're nothing to me!” Gumball lied to Penny as the incoming truck was fast approaching them, hoping his plan works, “You hear? You're nothing!” Hurt by Gumball’s remark, Penny shape-shifted into a small white spirit form. Catching her in midair, Gumball held on to Penny in his hands as he landed and ducked under the oncoming truck. Once the truck was gone, Gumball opened his hands to check on Penny. “I knew it!” Penny cried as she shape-shifted into a hairy creature and fled. “No, no, no! I just said that so you would shrink!” Gumball cried as he ran after Penny. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room~ As she smiled, Serena asked Hermione, "So, how did you end up getting tied up in this whole Rebel business? Me personally, I was just a regular girl living in Vaniville Town in France, with dreams of getting into the fashion industry one day. But when the New World Order come to power, I saw all the bad things that they did. Many of my neighbors were dragged from their homes, either arrested or killed on the spot simply because they were suspected of working against the New World Order. Seeing all that changed me, and the way I saw the world. So, I thought, even if I am just a teenager, I have to do something. And that's when I decided to join the Rebels." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~San Diego, California - Outside Hideout~ "And we appreciate all the help you provided," Mace responded to the Oliver twins, "We'll be sure to stay in touch." "Alright guys, time to head back to Castelia City," Shining Armor told the others as the Castelia City Rebels returned to the Quinjet to get ready to fly back to their base. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Los Angeles, California: New World Order Facility~ As Rubeus and Ruby were walking down the hall, they noticed Dr. Fennhoff waiting for them at the end of the hallway… “I heard you had a bit of trouble in San Diego,” Fennhoff said with his thick Russian accent. “Only because the Rebels interfered,” Rubeus replied, “And we were so close to making Donnie Gill a new Inquisitor.” “It’s a shame,” Fennhoff commented as he nodded his head, “But I assume my work on him was noticeable?” “Yes,” Rubeus answered, “Recited the exact same thing you said to say. Worked like a charm. The guy was completely under our control.” “Hmm, it’s good to hear when my work delivers results,” Fennhoff commented, “But, now that Mr. Gill is no longer an option for you, may I suggest Castiel.” “Absolutely not!” Ruby retorted, “You know what Master Xehanort thinks about him.” “The guy’s too unstable,” Rubeus added, “He just isn’t Inquisitor material.” “Well… I think you two are being too judgmental of Castiel,” Fennhoff said, “Tell Master Xehanort that I will personally make sure he is worthy of joining you Inquisitors just as soon as I check up on him in Siberia.” “Not gonna get my hopes up, honestly,” Rubeus replied, “But, if you are able to work charms on him, I’m sure the Grand Inquisitor will reconsider Castiel as a worthy candidate.” “Good. Then I hope to not disappoint,” Dr. Fennhoff said as he walked away, “Goodbye.” Once Fennhoff left, Ruby told Rubeus, “There is no way he is ever going to restrain Castiel.” “I agree,” Rubeus concurred, “But hey, you never know.”
~Targoviste, Romania~ After Ginny and Mew appeared, Attila asked Bellatrix, “How ‘bout now?” “Hmm, alright then,” Bellatrix replied, “Summon your Pokemon you two.” “Finally!” Attila exclaimed as he took out a Pokeball, “Muk, come on out!” “You too, Steelix!” Hun added as she threw a Pokeball. A Muk then emerged from Attila’s Pokeball while a Steelix emerged from Hun’s Pokeball… “Muk!” Attila’s Muk cried as it appeared along with Hun’s Steelix. “Alright you two, assist the Stormtroopers and attack those Rebels!” Hun ordered Muk and Steelix. “Muk!” Muk cried as it hurled a Sludge Bomb towards Ron, while Steelix swung its tail towards Mew and Ginny. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Moon Palace~ Shrugging after hearing what Psycho Blue said, Thrax commented, "Doesn't really matter as far as we are concerned. Harbinger or not, Zordon can't do a thing now that he is imprisoned here." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Minato District~ As Gumball continued to chase Penny while still in her green pig form, the two stopped in the middle of a street upon noticing a car screeching to a halt in front of them. And the driver of the car turned out to be none other than Patrick, Penny’s father, who was out looking for his daughter… “What the…?” a surprised Patrick said as he leaned out of his car window, recognizing Penny in her true S-type form, “You came out of your shell.” “I know, she looks fantastic, right?” Gumball replied while laughing nervously. “What have you done? You've turned her into a freak!” Patrick told Gumball. “A freak… ishly beautiful young lady,” Gumball replied, continuing to laugh nervously while trying to twist Patrick’s words to make them more positive for Penny. “She looks like a pig-” Patrick cried. “-ture of beauty,” Gumball interrupted Patrick, pretending to continue something Patrick was never going to say, “Ha ha, absolutely!” “You made my daughter ugly!” Patrick scolded Gumball. “Uhhh… I got nothing,” Gumball said, not knowing how to twist what Patrick just said into something more positive. Having had enough of what her father had to say, Penny shape-shifted into a dragon, and told Gumball, “Gumball. Please tell my father that I’ve gone to live alone, just like every other ugly being!” Seeing Penny fly away, Gumball turned to face Patrick with an angry expression on his face. “What?” Patrick questioned, unsure of why Gumball seemed upset with him. “Ohh, I wonder why my daughter is upset after I called her ugly!” Gumball mockingly imitated Patrick before jumping on the hood of Patrick’s car, with his tone shifting to an angry one, “NOW WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK YOU TO SHUT UP! Think about what you've done. Do you realize you were wrong?” Seeing Patrick nod in reply, Gumball continued, “Good! But don't beat yourself up about it, parenting is hard! Now pop the hood.” As Gumball turned around to face the direction where Penny was flying, Patrick popped the hood of his car as Gumball ordered him to, causing Gumball to launch up into the sky towards Penny. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Quinjet~ "Not entirely," Shining Armor answered upon hearing Yang question if this mission was a failure, "The New World Order doesn't have Donnie Gill anymore. If anything, it's probably a draw since neither us nor the New World Order gained anything from today." "Alright everyone, buckle up. We are approaching the Oliver brothers' hideout," Jeffrey Mace told the others on the Quinjet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room~ “Ah, so you must be Vulpix’s partner,” Serena told Hermione, “Nice to meet you. I’m Serena, from the French wing of the Rebel Alliance. And this is here is my gal pal, Fennekin, or as I like to call her, Fenny.” As Hermione held out her hand to Fennekin, Fennekin slowly approached Hermione’s hand, sniffing it before cuddling Hermione’s hand as she happily said, “Fokka!” “Heh, she likes you,” Serena told Hermione, “So, what’s your name?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room (Again)~ Approaching Harold Flamel, Jack was surprised that Harold was able to guess exactly what he wanted to talk to him about without even saying one word. 'Well, guess I should just wait now,' Jack thought to himself as he waited for Harold to get Elsa and Anna. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room (Again x2)~ Walking to the main room while humming to himself, Olaf walked past Sven, who noticed Olaf’s carrot nose, and wanted to eat it… As Sven rushed towards Olaf, the snowman noticed the reindeer approach him, with Olaf greeting him, “Oh, hello! My name’s Olaf. What’s your name?” As Sven was about to take a bite out of Olaf’s nose, the snowman bent down just in time to observe Sven’s fur, preventing Sven from getting his nose. “Ooh, you sure got lots of fur,” Olaf commented, “Oh, I know. Your name must be Furry! No, wait… that sounds like something to describe someone a little too obsessed with animals.” Sven tried to take another bite out of Olaf’s nose, but the snowman turned around just in time, pondering to himself, “Hmm… oh, how about Harry? Hmm, on second thought, nah…” As Sven tried to take a bite out of Olaf’s nose once more, Olaf gasped as he grabbed Sven’s muzzle tight, preventing the reindeer from biting his nose as Olaf said, “Of course. You’ve got horns, so obviously you must be called Horny! Uhhh… for some reason, I get the feeling that that name feels dirty.” Just then, upon noticing a name tag around Sven’s neck, Olaf read, “‘Sven’… wait, your name’s Sven?” As the reindeer nodded in reply, Olaf shrugged as he commented, “Huh, wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years. Oh well, nice to meet ya, Sven.” As Olaf then continued walking around, Sven kept following him, sighing as he wondered if he was ever going to eat Olaf’s carrot nose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress~ "Do not mention it," Mewtwo responded to Sailor Moon after she thanked him, "I simply suggested what I believed would help us against Xaldin." The group then noticed the rest of the Rebels arrive to the scene… Spoiler: Rebels Katniss, still in her Rider form, rushed towards Connor as the two shared a hug. "I saw parts of the battle from my position," Katniss told Connor, "I was beginning to worry." Smiling at Katniss, Connor replied, "Do not worry. Those who battled along my side were very helpful." "Pikapi!" Haymitch happily cried as he ran towards Connor and climbed up to his shoulder, cuddling the Rebel leader. As Connor patted Haymitch on the head, he noticed Ember approach him. "Ratonhnhaké:ton," Ember greeted Connor while giving him a bow, "I am happy to report that we haven't had any casualties. Madame Gao has been captured, and is in our custody. Shall we call this a success?" Looking around the fortress, Connor noticed a flagpole on a roof, and replied, "Not quite yet. Discord, hand me a Rebel flag." "Yes, sir," Discord replied as he summoned a flag with the Rebel emblem on it, handing it to Connor. Connor then began climbing up the building towards the flagpole he saw earlier. "I don't get it… what's he doing?" Sailor Mini Moon asked. Knowing exactly what Connor wanted to do, Tuxedo Mask replied, "Wait and see." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ Nodding after hearing Rei's response, Grandpa said, "I completely understand, Rei. Which reminds me, I better go to the kitchen and check if they need my help. Let's go, Chad." "Piplup," Chad replied, nodding as he followed Grandpa to the kitchen.
Merely days after reporting on the death of Rutger Hauer, we sadly have to report on yet another death of a voice actor associated with the Kingdom Hearts series. This time, it's Russi Taylor, who has been the official voice of Minnie Mouse since 1986, while also voicing Huey Dewey, and Louie since 1987. Russi Taylor has voiced the above characters (as well as Fauna) in all of their voiced appearances in the Kingdom Hearts series up to date. Sadly, her loss will be a heavy one for both Kingdom Hearts fans, and Disney fans who have enjoyed hearing her lend her voice to Minnie Mouse and other characters over the years. Thank you for your contributions Russi Taylor. You will be missed dearly. RIP Russi Taylor Source
~Irkutsk, Russia - Rebel Hideout~ Once all the orphans were asleep in a room, Leia quietly stepped out of the room where they were sleeping, slowly closing the door behind her. “They asleep?” Finn asked Leia as he approached her… “Yes,” Leia responded, “Finn… I just wanted to say… thank you… for everything you and the Rebels did.” “Hey, don’t mention it,” Finn told Leia, “Just another day for us Rebels.” As Leia smiled at Finn, she told him, “Finn… I want to join the Rebels.” “What?” a surprised Finn questioned. “From what I’ve seen today, I now know that the Rebels truly are fighting for good,” Leia replied, “If I can fight to make sure that children like the orphans I care for don’t have to live in fear, then that is a cause I am willing to join.” “No… no,” Finn said, shaking his head, “I won’t let you.” “And since when was it your decision?” Leia questioned Finn. “It’s just… Leia, it’s too dangerous. You saw that today,” Finn replied. “Don’t worry about me. I can handle myself,” Leia said. “It’s just… I don’t want anything bad to happen to you like Ka-,” Finn replied, stopping as he remembered his deceased friend, Kanan, and how he wasn’t able to save him. Upon realizing what was bothering Finn, Leia sighed as she told him, “Finn… you can’t keep blaming yourself for what happened to Kanan. I miss him too. But I don’t think he’d want you blaming yourself over his death. I promise, I’ll be fine. Just please, let me join the Rebels.” Sighing, Finn replied, “Well, then I guess there’s no talking you out of it.” Smiling, Leia headed towards the exit as she told Finn, “Thank you, Finn.” Without even responding, Finn simply watched as Leia left, smiling a bit as he pondered what Leia told him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ "Hehe, yeah, that certainly sounds like Serena," Grandpa responded. "Piplup!" Chad concurred as he chuckled. "But… it just feels weird that you girls aren't with Serena," Grandpa told Rei, "I never told you this, Rei, but when it was announced that a group of Rebels from this base would join Connor on his worldwide trip, I kinda enjoyed the thought of going out and seeing the world. But when I heard you and your friends wouldn't be going with Serena, I was admittedly very surprised you decided not to go. Still, I decided to respect your decision and stay in this base with you. Anyway, sorry to make you listen to an old man rambling, hehe." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress~ “Wh-what?!” Xaldin cried as he was surprised to notice the barrier around him disappear due to Sailor Moon’s attack. Turning around to face the one who got rid of his barrier, Xaldin instead found himself face-to-face with Sailor Mini Moon, who was pointing her Pink Moon Stick at Xaldin, crying, “Pink Sugar Heart Attack!” Heart shaped energy pulses from the Pink Moon Stick then began repeatedly hitting Xaldin in the face. Realizing this was the perfect window of opportunity to finish him off, Tuxedo Mask grabbed one of Xaldin’s lances while also calling out to Connor, “Connor! Now!” Nodding, Connor grabbed another one of Xaldin’s lances, ready for an attack. Noticing Tuxedo Mask and Connor about to attack, Sailor Mini Moon got out of the way, while Xaldin rubbed his face after getting hit by Sailor Mini Moon’s attack. However, once Xaldin opened his eyes, he saw Tuxedo Mask and Connor surprise him with an attack using two of his own lances, getting impaled in the chest by his own weapons. Spoiler: BGM Gasping as he looked down and saw the lances that Connor and Tuxedo Mask used to impale him, Xaldin struggled to stand, commenting, “Is this… the end?” As all of Xaldin’s lances (including the ones he was stabbed with) disintegrated, the Inquisitor collapsed to the ground, while Connor walked over to him. “The reign of terror you and Madame Gao brought onto this part of China comes to an end,” Connor told Xaldin. “Hehehe… you really think you’ve achieved a victory by defeating me?” Xaldin scoffed in response, “The New World Order will always remain the stronger side in this war with you Rebel scum.” “What happened here today is proof that the New World Order can… and will… be defeated,” Connor retorted. “Hmph… regardless… a little word of advice, boy…” Xaldin told Connor, “Beware of my superior, the Grand Inquisitor. He has plans that go beyond the New World Order, beyond this world. If you underestimate him, you, and all you care about, will cease to exist.” “Grand Inquisitor?” Connor questioned, “Who is this Grand Inquisitor?” “Sorry… but that’s something… you’re going to have to find out… yourself…” Xaldin replied, grinning as he finally died. Sighing, Connor knelt next to Xaldin’s corpse, closing the deceased Inquisitor’s eyelids as he said, “May you find the peace you never had.” “You okay?” Tuxedo Mask asked Connor. Connor nodded in reply as he got up, looking at Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mini Moon, and Mewtwo, telling them, "You all did great. Thank you." Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mini Moon simply smiled in response while Mewtwo rejoined the group after resting from what happened earlier. "Feeling better, Mewtwo?" Sailor Mini Moon asked. "Yes," Mewtwo replied. "I was wrong about you, Mewtwo," Tuxedo Mask told the Pokemon, "Ever since seeing you as part of the Rebels, I've always been suspicious of you due to your past with the Crystal Order. But, after seeing how you saved us from Xaldin's powerful attack, I now see that you truly have changed. I'm sorry for doubting you." Seeing Tuxedo Mask extend his hand to him to shake, Mewtwo smiled as he used his paw to shake Tuxedo Mask's hand, replying, "Apology accepted. Thank you." Seeing Tuxedo Mask finally accept Mewtwo as a fellow Rebel, Connor and Sailor Mini Moon both happily sighed. "So, Connor… who do you think this Grand Inquisitor guy that Xaldin warned about could be?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "I am not sure," Connor replied, "But he seems like someone we will have to be cautious with when encountering him." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Targoviste, Romania~ As Ron was battling against Stormtroopers, Attila asked Bellatrix, "Uhh… should Hun and me get our Pokemon to help out." "No. Not yet," Bellatrix responded as she grinned, "I'd like to see where this goes." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Minato District~ As Penny was flying away in her gargoyle form while Gumball continued running after her, Penny shape-shifted into a jackalope, landing on the ground and continued trying to get away from Gumball. “Penny! Let me finish… please stop running!” Gumball pleaded as he was sweating and becoming exhausted from all the running, “My sweat marks are reaching my pants!” As Penny stopped and turned around, she noticed Gumball slowly approaching her, panting as he said, “Please, please…” “Oh, Gumball, stop trying! You've said enough. How can anyone-” Penny replied before shape-shifting into a minotaur, “LOVE THIS?!” As she was about to smash the pavement on the street with her large fist, Penny instead accidentally smashed a car that was passing by, startling the passengers… “Ay caramba!” Pepe cried from the back of the car, while Gonzo and Rizzo (who were in front of the car) were wondering what smashed their car. As they looked outside, the three passengers saw Penny in her minotaur form, causing Pepe to scream with a very high pitch and faint. “Don't worry, guys, I'll deal with this,” Gonzo stated as he got out of the car. But instead of doing something as he promised, Gonzo simply ran away, screaming. Sighing as he shook his head, Rizzo said to himself, “And to think I actually have lunch with these guys.” Grabbing his cellphone and dialing a number, Rizzo decided to call pest control on Penny, telling the person he just called, “Hello, is this pest control? Yeah, I need help! What does it look like? Kinda like an ugly cow on steroids but… uglier.” Overhearing how Rizzo described her, Penny groaned dismally and ran away while Gumball followed her, crying, “Penny, come back!” “I'm disgusting! I'm a disgusting pig!” Penny replied as she shape-shifted into a green pig. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~San Diego, California - Harbor: The ‘Maribel del Mar’ (Upper Deck)~ Once the Rebels escaped to the Quinjet, Rubeus and the others watched as the plane switched its cloaking on and then flew away. "Grrr… I want TIE fighters searching all over the San Diego airspace for that plane!" Rubeus ordered one of the Stormtroopers. "Yes, sir," the Stormtrooper responded to the Inquisitor as he and a couple other Stormtroopers fled the scene. Walking over to the side of the ship where Donnie was shot, Ruby commented, "It's a shame. He would've been a great Inquisitor." "Yeah… guess Master Xehanort's gonna be really disappointed," Rubeus replied as he turned and looked at Jemma, "Simmons, follow us." "Yes, sir," Jemma replied, following Ruby and Rubeus as they headed towards the ship's exit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Quinjet~ “Switching to cloaking mode,” Mace said as he was piloting the Quinjet, with the plane’s cloaking mechanism switched on to prevent it from being detected by the New World Order. “Oi, thanks for the save, mate,” Lance thanked Mack. “Don’t mention it,” Mack responded. “We never expected you to arrive in San Diego so quick,” May told Mace. “Well, when Shining Armor contacted me about Simmons, I had a feeling you guys were in trouble,” Jeffrey responded, “So I requested the help of a Rebel from Kentucky with the ability to teleport to get Mack and myself over to San Diego. We arrived outside the hideout used by the Oliver brothers, where I found the Quinjet and used it to get to you guys. From what I’ve seen, it’s a good thing I came. So, what happened with Donnie Gill?” “He’s dead,” Skye answered after hearing Jeffery’s question, “It looked like the New World Order got to him first. I had no choice. He was about to freeze Tommy to death, so I took the shot.” Sighing, Mace commented, “It’s unfortunate. But the important thing is we didn’t suffer any casualties.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress (Again)~ As Riku and the rest of Group 3 exited the watchtower (along with Madame Gao, who was still detained by Rey), they were met by the rest of the Rebels who were attacking the fortress (with the exception of those who were dealing with Xaldin at the moment)... Spoiler: Rebels “Well, well, well… Madame Gao,” Ember said as she approached Gao, “After hearing all the things you’ve done, seeing you defeated feels very satisfying.” “You think that by capturing me, you’ve succeeded?” Gao questioned, “The New World Order will not stop until they are finished with Rebels like you.” “Then I guess we’ll just have to be ready to keep fighting then,” Ember replied as she looked at Rey, “Tie her up. We’ll be taking her back to base. Now then… where could Ratonhnhaké:ton be?” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter: Main Room~ “Good,” Bellec replied to Star Dream after the red line on the floor appeared, “While you’re at it, please take us to a small Scottish town led by a man named Fergus. That is my destination.” As Bellec followed the red line, Jack told Pipsqueak, “Stay here, lad. I’ll be going along with Bellec.” “Yes, sir,” Pipsqueak replied, giving a salute as Jack followed Bellec. “Now you stay here, Sven,” Kristoff told Sven as he intended to join Jack and Bellec, “It won’t be long.” Noticing the disappointed look on Sven’s face, Kristoff voiced Sven's thoughts in a gruff, goofy, exaggerated tone, saying, “But I don’t wanna stay here. I barely know everyone.” “Heh, don’t worry, bud, you’ll be fine. And hey, maybe you can make some new friends,” Kristoff told his reindeer, who sighed but smiled after hearing Kristoff’s advice, watching as he walked away and joined Jack and Bellec. Meanwhile, as Serena and her Fennekin were walking around, enjoying the sight, Serena’s Fennekin was startled when she noticed Hermione’s Vulpix approach her. “Huh? Oh wow, a Vulpix!” Serena exclaimed as she noticed Vulpix approaching her Fennekin, “Go on, Fenny, say hi.” Slowly approaching the Vulpix, Fennekin sniffed Vulpix a bit before realizing that Vulpix was a friendly Pokemon. “Fokka!” Fennekin happily greeted Vulpix. Smiling as she saw the two interacting with each other, Serena knelt down and told the Vulpix, “Hello, Vulpix. I’m Serena, Fennekin’s partner. Is your partner around?” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Lor Starcutter: Room Near Communications~ After following the red line, Bellec, Jack, and Kristoff arrived in a room and came face-to-face with Saphir and Olaf, who were seated on the floor… “Well, this certainly a surprise,” Bellec commented, “Saphir, brother of Demande, the New World Order Regional Governor of Europe. And… a snowman, apparently.” “I know this snowman,” Kristoff told Jack and Bellec. “You do?” Jack questioned Kristoff. “Yeah,” Kristoff replied, “Not personally, but I always see him hanging around in Arendelle. He is close friends with Anna and Elsa.” Gasping after hearing Kristoff mention he was from Arendelle, Olaf said, “You’re from Arendelle too?! Heh, what a small world! My name’s Olaf! What’s your name?” “Kristoff,” Kristoff answered. “So, Kristoff… do you think this snowman should be interrogated as well?” Bellec asked Kristoff. “Nah,” Kristoff replied, “I doubt we could get anything out of him. And he’s harmless. Saphir is the only one we need to talk to right now.” “Very well,” Jack replied as he looked at Olaf, “Run along now, snowman. This is a private discussion.” “Uhh, sure thing,” Olaf replied as he looked at Saphir, giving him a two thumbs up gesture, “Good luck.” Once Olaf left the room, Bellec, Jack, and Kristoff shifted their focus back to Saphir, with Bellec saying, “Now then, Saphir… w-” “Look, if you’re gonna make me divulge New World Order secrets, forget it,” Saphir interrupted Bellec. “Oh no, I was never going to ask you that,” Bellec replied, “How about we start things slow. How did you end up in Rebel company?” Sighing, Saphir said, “Simple. When that Rider, Harold Flamel, took Anna and Elsa away, a tracking device was placed on them by a rather friendly Stormtrooper. I then traced the tracking device to the Hidden Palace Zone while accompanied by Olaf, where, long story short, I came across the Rebels you see outside. And that’s how Olaf and I ended up here.” “But… why not just have Stormtroopers and Cybermen track the two sisters and retrieve them?” Kristoff asked. “I didn’t want the New World Order involved,” Saphir answered, “I just wanted to know that Anna and Elsa were safe.” Focusing on the tone of Saphir’s voice when he answered, Jack told him, “Sounds to me like you might be attracted to one of them.” Blushing after hearing what Jack said, Saphir asked, “That obvious?” “Look, I really don’t care how you feel about either of them,” Kristoff told Saphir, “The fact is, your association with the New World Order makes me distrust you. Same with Anna and Elsa. I mean, for all we know, they could New World Order spies. Bellec, I think it would be a good idea to interrogate the two sisters as well.” “You… you were the last Rebel in Arendelle… weren’t you?” Saphir asked Kristoff. “Yeah. And I had to bury every single one of my comrades who were killed by the regime you are a part of, which was just as hard as burying every single troll that I considered family after they were all killed by the New World Order simply for rejecting to be ruled under their dictatorship,” Kristoff replied, “So you can imagine how uneasy it feels for me to be talking to the enemy this close.” “Look, I was not responsible for whatever the New World Order was doing in Arendelle,” Saphir said, “I am sorry about your comrades and your family. I truly am. I don’t want war. I want all the killing to stop.” “And yet, people like you, Anna, and Elsa still associate yourselves with the New World Order,” Kristoff scoffed, “You say you’re for peace, yet you are for a worldwide dictatorship diminishing individuals’ freedoms.” “Look, I don’t agree with everything the New World Order does. There. I said it,” Saphir said, “But the core values of the New World Order… making sure that all beings, regardless of who they are, what they are, how they look, or what they believe in can all live equally… that is something I still believe in, no matter what. Surely you can’t deny that a world where everyone is equal would be desirable, right?” Bellec, Jack, and Kristoff looked at each other as they pondered Saphir’s words. “Oh, and one more thing about Elsa and Anna. They’re not with the New World Order,” Saphir continued, “When Harold Flamel arrived in Arendelle to take them, they willingly decided to leave. They were never loyal to the regime. They were forced into their positions only because I was trying hard to make sure they didn’t suffer the same fate as all those leaders who were killed during the Great Purge. So please, don’t do anything to them! I’m begging you…” After hearing what Saphir had to say, Jack whispered to Bellec, “What do you think?” “Well, I do feel he is at least right when he says that Anna and Elsa aren’t loyal to the New World Order. Still, I’d like to get the two sisters here,” Bellec replied, “Go and get them.” “Yes, sir,” Jack replied as he left the room to speak with Harold Flamel so he could get Anna and Elsa to speak with Bellec.
View attachment 50357 It is with great sadness we have to report that Rutger Hauer, who played the role of Master Xehanort in 'Kingdom Hearts III', has sadly passed away this past Friday in his home in the Netherlands after contracting a brief illness, with his funeral taking place today. Rutger Hauer was an acclaimed Dutch actor known for his roles in Blade Runner, Sin City, Batman Begins, and many other films. By taking up the mantle of being the English voice of Master Xehanort, Rutger Hauer had the near impossible task of trying to live up to the late Leonard Nimoy's legacy of voicing the main villain of the Dark Seeker Saga. Thankfully, he ended up giving a tremendous performance that did justice to the character of Master Xehanort in the villain's swan song. RIP Rutger Hauer
~Castelia City, New York - Stark Tower~ As Tony was busy working on a flight stabilizer for his Iron Man armor with a wrench, he was watching a video that was released online less than a minute ago, showing the atrocities of the New World Order in Siwa, Egypt earlier today. Upset at what he was seeing, Tony then noticed the video focused on Diana Cavendish as she was about to rage at the New World Order… “The New World Order… just bombed a hospital filled with unarmed men, women and children!” Diana cried in the video as tears rolled down her face, “And there will be no survivors! If anyone thinks for one second that the New World Order will ever treat us fairly, they are lying to themselves! I should know… I was an avid supporter of the regime! But now I finally see the New World Order for who they are and what they do! This is what they do! And we must fight back.” Looking up at the sky, Diana screamed, “New World Order! You can torture us and bomb us and burn our homes to the ground! But fire is catching. And if we burn, you burn with us!” At that point, the video concluded. But as Tony tried to replay it the video on his laptop, he got an error message indicating that the video was removed by New World Order online censors. Taking a deep breath, Stark tossed the wrench he was using on the flight stabilizer aside, and instead pointed the flight stabilizer at a nearby wall, sending a blast that damaged it. Tony then continued to blast other objects in his penthouse for practice as a way to vent over his anger how he was helping the New World Order the whole time and not knowing they did stuff like what he saw in the video. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress - Watchtower~ Madame Gao didn't even flinch as she watched Rey detain her, remaining emotionless. "Now let's get out of here," Emma said. "Right," both Riku and Ritchie concurred, nodding as they followed Emma towards the exit downstairs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress~ Spoiler: BGM “Sailor Moon, pull yourself together!” Sailor Mini Moon told Sailor Moon, trying to get her to stop crying and focus on a way to defeat Xaldin. “He’s coming back!” Tuxedo Mask warned the others. Grinning, Xaldin teleported near the group, thrusting his lances towards them as Connor and the others jumped out of the way, and the Inquisitor would repeat this several more times. As he was panting from repeatedly trying to avoid getting hit by Xaldin’s attacks, Tuxedo Mask took out one of his sharp roses, throwing it at Xaldin, hoping to finish him off. Taking notice of Tuxedo Mask’s attack, Xaldin cried, “Wind, guard me!” A protective wind barrier then surrounded Xaldin once more, and Tuxedo Mask’s rose wasn’t even able to penetrate it. “Not again!” Sailor Mini Moon complained. Xaldin then appeared to have teleported once more, but there was no sign of him. “Where is he?” Connor wondered out loud as he and the others were looking around, trying to find the Inquisitor. Soon enough, Mewtwo noticed something above Connor. “Watch out!” Mewtwo cried, using his psychic powers to move Connor out of harm’s way, with Xaldin’s six lances landing right where Connor was previously standing, before disappearing. Realizing what Xaldin was now doing, Connor warned the others, “Be careful, everyone!” Pretty soon, Tuxedo Mask noticed the lances above him, jumping out of harm’s way as they landed and then disappeared. The same happened with Sailor Mini Moon as she too jumped out of harm’s way from the lances. As the Rebels were expecting the same thing to keep happening, they were surprised when Xaldin’s lances appeared around Mewtwo, spinning really fast. “What?” Mewtwo wondered out loud. “Mewtwo, be careful!” Sailor Mini Moon warned Mewtwo. Once he noticed the lances around him disappear, Mewtwo anticipated an attack, so he quickly teleported several feet away, noticing that Xaldin was indeed was going to attack, as the Inquisitor reappeared, sending all his lances to the spot where Mewtwo was. Angered to have missed his target, Xaldin summoned a green aura around him as he began swinging his lances around in a rapid combo, making it extremely difficult for Connor and the others to avoid getting hit. Once he was done, Xaldin then teleported above the Rebels, connected his lances and leaped atop them as he yelled, “You will wear the face of despair!” The hearts of Connor and the others sank as they instantly recognized the attack that Xaldin was preparing to attempt once more, watching as his lances then took on the form of a dragon, just like earlier in the battle, and was getting ready to launch a powerful blast of wind towards Sailor Moon. Gasping Sailor Mini Moon and Tuxedo Mask rushed towards Sailor Moon as they cried, “Sailor Moon!” Xaldin’s lances then began to launch a powerful blast of wind just as Sailor Mini Moon and Tuxedo Mask reached Sailor Moon, prompting a worried Connor to cry, “Nooo!” Seeing what was happening, Mewtwo instantly teleported in front of Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Mini Moon, and Sailor Moon, summoning a barrier around them with his psychic powers for protection against the incoming wind blast. As strong as the wind blast was, Mewtwo continued holding his ground, using whatever energy he had in him to keep the barrier surrounding him and the others intact. “Mewtwo… hang on!” Sailor Mini Moon told Mewtwo as he was struggling more and more to keep the barrier intact. Once Xaldin’s powerful wind blast attack finally came to an end, the barrier Mewtwo had summoned shattered, with Mewtwo collapsing to the ground from exhaustion. “Mewtwo!” Sailor Mini Moon cried as she knelt down next to the Pokemon to make sure he was alright, “Are you okay?” “He… saved us…” Tuxedo Mask said, finally beginning to see that Mewtwo does indeed have goodness inside him. “Imbecile… time to finish that traitor off,” Xaldin commented as his lances returned to normal and were once again levitating around him while he descended back to the ground, and slowly hovered towards Mewtwo and the others. “Hey, Xaldin!” Connor called out the Inquisitor, causing him to turn around and face him, “Leave them alone! I am the one you want!” “Fine by me!” Xaldin responded as he swung his lances towards Connor, who jumped out of the way and was using his tomahawk to deflect incoming attacks. As for the others, Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Mini Moon were still with Mewtwo as they watched Connor trying to take on Xaldin alone. “We’ve gotta help him!” Sailor Mini Moon said. “But that wind barrier is still around Xaldin,” Tuxedo Mask replied, “Without getting rid of it, attacking him will be useless.” Hearing what Tuxedo Mask said, Mewtwo looked at Sailor Moon and her Crescent Moon Wand, telling her, “Sailor Moon… use your wand… I sense that it is powerful enough to get rid of Xaldin’s barrier. Once the barrier is gone, then you will all have a chance to finish him off.” “You really think so, Mewtwo?” Sailor Mini Moon asked the Pokemon, who simply nodded in reply. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Irkutsk, Russia - New World Order Facility~ While Cassidy and Butch were trying to use hair dryers to melt the ice that Mega Blaziken and Mega Charizard Y were trapped in faster, Kylo Ren was berating the two over allowing the Rebels to escape. "How could you be so incompetent!" The Inquisitor scolded Cassidy and Butch, "You had a large number of Stormtroopers and Cybermen at your disposal, and you weren't even able to stop a small group of Rebels!" "B-but sir…" Cassidy responded, not sure what to say. "I don't want to hear excuses," Kylo Ren interrupted Cassidy, "I want results. Do you understand?" "I understand, Mr. Solo, sir… but… if it wasn't for that guy with an oversized car key, we would've captured them all," Butch replied. "Wait… what did you say?" Kylo asked Butch. "Umm… we would've been able to capture the Rebels if it wasn't for that guy with them carrying an oversized car key," Butch repeated, not sure what caught Kylo's attention. "Do you have footage of this Rebel with a key?" Kylo Ren questioned. "Uhh, sure," Cassidy told the Inquisitor, taking a break from trying to melt the ice that was trapping Mega Charizard Y. Grabbing a nearby tablet, Cassidy pulled up recent security footage on the device in order to show Kylo Ren. Once the footage focused on the Rebel that Kylo was interested in, Cassidy handed Kylo Ren the tablet. Looking over the footage, Kylo Ren raised his eyebrows, surprised to see Finn alive and assisting the Rebels. 'Finn? Well, well, well… it seems you've survived,' Kylo thought to himself, surprised to see that Finn survived the events of Nibelheim. Grinning, Kylo Ren turned around and walked away without saying a word. "So, uhh… are we still in trouble?" Butch questioned. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~San Diego, California - Harbor: The ‘Maribel del Mar’ (Upper Deck)~ Noticing Yang charging towards her, Ruby quickly got out of the way, rolling to the side while Rubeus landed near her after the beating he took from Thomas. “Hey, don’t forget about us!” James told Tommy, Dante, and Thomas as he, Jessie, and Meowth appeared (along with their Pokemon)... “As if we’d let you guys take on the New World Order alone,” Jessie added. “Yeah! Let’s thrash those bad guys!” Meowth concurred. “Grrr… Stormtroopers, Cybermen… come on out!” Rubeus angrily called out the Stormtroopers and Cybermen, who all appeared almost immediately, surrounding the Rebels as they were pointing their weapons at them… “Damn…” Skye said to herself as she noticed all the Stormtroopers and Cybermen appear. “Heh, any last words, Rebels?” Rubeus questioned the Rebels as he grinned. However, before anyone could reply, everyone noticed the Rebels' Quinjet flying towards the area. “The Quinjet?” James wondered out loud. “But… who’s piloting it?” Jessie questioned. Once the Quinjet was close enough and hovering to the side of the ship, the Rebels instantly recognized the man piloting the plane as Jeffery Mace… While the Rebels were happy to see the appearance of Mace and the Quinjet, an angry Rubeus ordered the Stormtroopers and Cybermen, “Fire at that plane!” But as the Stormtroopers and Cybermen were firing at the plane, Jeffery activated the plane’s shield to lessen damage to the plane, while also activating the plane’s gun turret, firing at the enemy combatants. Elsewhere on the Maribel del Mar, Shining Armor, May, and Lance were finally able to get out after finding another exit that wasn’t frozen… Once the three reached the upper deck, Lance asked, “Now what do we do?” Just then, the Rebels noticed the Quinjet’s ramp lower near the side of the ship, with Mack standing in the ramp with his trusty shotgun axe, using it to shoot at some of the enemies… “Everyone, get in the Quinjet!” Mack yelled out to the Rebels as he continued shooting Stormtroopers while also throwing some sonic stabilizers at Cybermen to weaken their metal and make them prone to damage. “Copy that!” Shining Armor yelled back as he, Lance, and May jumped over the side of the ship towards the ramp. Meanwhile, as they returned their Pokemon back to their Pokeballs, Jessie and James ran and jumped towards the ramp as well, followed by Meowth and Skye. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital - Outside Apartment Building~ After Matt’s earlier battle with members of a local biker gang, he and Foggy were waiting outside for the police to arrive. Pretty soon, the demon and his Pokemon noticed police cars arriving to the scene… “Matt, Foggy… thank goodness!” Jenny happily said as she got out of one of the police cars. “Oshawott!” Foggy happily waved to Jenny. “What happened?” Looker questioned. “The Punisher dragged Foggy and I to the roof of that building. Unfortunately, he also had the eyewitness with him, and he killed him,” Matt answered. “Darn it!” Vanitas complained. “It’s not all bad news,” Matt replied, “The Punisher is inside an elevator in the building unconscious. And I was able to take care of a bunch of gang members that the Punisher attracted with an explosion outside their place.” “Good. Then let’s go get him,” Looker said. Nodding, Matt said, “Oh, and one more thing. His name’s Frank,” Matt replied. “Noted,” Officer Jenny said as she and the others entered the apartment building. "Wait… something's not right," Matt said, as he wasn't sensing Frank Castle's presence in the elevator. Once the demon and the others reached the elevator, Matt's fears were confirmed, as Frank was not in the elevator. "Dammit!" Matt complained, "He got away…" "I'll have Gastly sweep the building to make sure he still isn't here," Jenny told Matt as she took out her Pokeball, throwing it in the air, "Gastly, come on out!" "Gaaastly," Jenny's Gastly cried as it came out of its Pokeball… "Gastly, search the entire building and see if you can find the Punisher," Jenny ordered her Pokemon. "Gaastly," Gastly replied, nodding as it began searching the building to find any trace of Frank Castle. "I also want the entire area searched," Vanitas told his Stormtroopers, "He couldn't have gotten far." "Yes, sir," one of the Stormtroopers responded to the Inquisitor as he and the other stormtroopers left to begin their search. "I'm such a fool…" Matt said, disappointed to have let Castle get away. "Hey, don't blame yourself," Jenny told the demon, "You did the best you could." "Osha," Foggy concurred with Jenny, nodding. Sighing, Matt said, "Anyway, it's been a long day. I think I'll go home. Let's go, Fog." "Oshawott," Foggy replied as he was following Matt outside. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Watterson Household~ As the depressed Gumball walked towards his bedroom, his mother approached him, feeling worried for her son… “You okay, honey?” Nicole asked her son, “You had nothing to eat.” “Pfft, don't worry mom! I'm a big boy, I'll be fine,” Gumball answered, pretending to be happy and cheerful to his mother. However, once Gumball entered his room and closed the door, he rushed to his bed, crying over his pillow. Then, upon hearing a knock on his window, Gumball stopped and looked at the window, noticing Penny was there, having climbed up using a ladder… “Penny?” Gumball wondered out loud as he opened the window and allowed Penny to come inside. “Thanks. Gumball, I came to… wait, have you been crying?” Penny asked, surprised when she saw Gumball’s eyes red from his crying. “No! I just have really sweaty eyes,” Gumball responded, trying to act cheerful, “Wait, that's disgusting. Yeah, I was crying.” “I came to say… I'm moving to another school. Dad thinks it's for the best,” Penny told Gumball. “WHAT THE WHAT?!!” an upset Gumball cried, “Excuse my French, Penny, BUT THIS IS TOTAL BAGUETTE! It is not for the best that you're forbidden to be who you really are!” “But, there's no other way,” Penny replied. Meanwhile, outside his room, Gumball’s family (Richard, Nicole, Darwin, and Anais) were eavesdropping over Gumball’s and Penny’s conversation… As Gumball’s family members were eavesdropping, they heard Richard’s stomach growling. “Shh!” Nicole, Anais, Darwin and even Richard quietly said while placing their finger on their lips, with Richard’s stomach stopping its growling in response. Back inside Gumball’s room, Penny asked, “What do you want me to do?” “Be yourself. Come out of your shell,” Gumball answered. “But maybe you wouldn't like the real me,” Penny said. Then, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage Still shocked to see Penny in her true S-type form, Gumball struggled with words, saying, “You look… you look…” “What? Do I look bad?” a worried Penny questioned as she shape-shifted into a gremlin. “No!” Gumball retorted, “You look uh…” “I look disgusting, don't I?!” Penny questioned while still in her gremlin form. “No!” Gumball retorted once more, “Penny, I think you look-” “Don't look at me! I'm UGLY!” Penny interrupted Gumball as she shape-shifted into a huge fist, breaking through the wall of his room, and flying away after shape-shifting into a gargoyle. “No, Penny, wait!” Gumball cried as he watched Penny fly away, “You look… extraordinary.” “Nooo!” Richard cried outside of Gumball’s room after listening to everything that happened, “It's a tragic misunderstanding that could have been easily avoided if he just finished his sentence in time!” Deciding to go after Penny, Gumball went down the ladder that Penny used earlier as he cried, “Penny, please wait!” “Gumball!” Nicole cried as she and the others entered Gumball’s room and found him going down the ladder and running after Penny. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Sioux Falls, South Dakota - Rebel Hideout~ Heading to his room and closing the door, Sunburst went to his desk, grabbed a particular book from a nearby shelf. ‘Besides the pony we fought, there was also something familiar about those creatures that the pony at the facility summoned… I know I’ve seen that emblem on them before…’ Sunburst thought to himself as he placed the book on his desk, turning the pages until he reached a page containing a certain emblem. 'Nobodies…' Sunburst thought to himself as he was reading the contents of the book. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ Spoiler: BGM "MI6?!" Phil exclaimed as he was having tea with John, Rose, and Sarah, learning shocking things about Rose (such as how she was secretly an agent of MI6 during her time at Nintendo High School wanting to find out more about the Crystal Order, and how her TA, Ahmet, ended up being a Crystal Order member as well), "No way…" "It's all true," Rose replied, smiling as she took a sip of her tea, "Went by the title of Agent Bad Wolf." "If I hadn't seen Ahmet trying to kill her during the Great Purge, I wouldn't have believed it myself," John told Phil. "Wow, that is a lot to take in," Coulson commented as he drank his tea. "You'll get used to it," Sarah told Phil, "So, Phil… how is everyone over at Nintendo High. At least, those who have remained." "It varies," Phil replied, "Pretty much all of them have gotten used to the new environment, even if some secretly may not like it." "And what of Eraqus, Moody, and Axel?" John asked. "Oh, they're fine," Coulson answered, "They do miss you though." "I see…" John commented as he looked down on his cup of tea, sighing as he was thinking of his three friends, "Oh, how I miss the simpler times." Trying to comfort him, Rose patted John on the back, smiling at him as she said, "Don't worry. We'll all get through this." Sarah and Coulson both nodded in agreement, causing John to smile in response. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown (Again)~ "Really? Huh, never knew that," Grandpa commented as he scratched his head, "Well, if that's your dream Rei, then I'll support you all the way!" "Piplup, piplup," Chad concurred as he nodded, wanting to support Rei as well. "Still, it's a shame Serena isn't around to hear you up close. I'm sure she would've enjoyed listening to you sing," Grandpa told his granddaughter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Scotland - Coast~ Bellec and the others were completely lost by the discussion Mario and C.C. had, with Serena asking, “Uhh… did anyone get that?” “I was able to follow along until the point he mentioned the two Arendelle royal sisters,” Kristoff replied, “Then the rest was just blah-blah blah-blah blah.” “Oh good, then it wasn’t just me,” Bellec commented, “Never thought going to get a ship would result in a convoluted explanation.” “The point is, they got the ship,” Elise said as everyone was getting on board the ship, “Along with that, they apparently also have Princess Anna and Queen Elsa on board, along with someone from the New World Order, and a snowman… apparently.” “Now THAT is an explanation that makes sense,” Kristoff told Elise, “Though, I didn’t expect Anna and Elsa to be here as well. I know I heard a mention of how they seemingly escaped from the New World Order, but as a Rebel from Arendelle, I don’t trust those two sisters.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter~ “Oh wow, it’s amazing, Fenny,” Serena told her Fennekin as she was awed by the interior. “Fokka!” Serena’s Fennekin concurred. Pretty soon, the group overheard a discussion about clockwork stars and other out of this world mumbo jumbo. “Ugh, my head hurts from all this talk about clockwork nova AI stuff, or whatever it is they’re talking about,” Silver complained. “I’ll admit, I really do not care about the specifics regarding the backstory of this ship,” Bellec concurred, “As long as it can help the Rebel cause, that’s all that matters to me.” Overhearing everyone’s complaints on information overload, Jack sighed as he walked over to Mario, kneeling next to him as he placed his hand on his shoulder, telling him, “Listen, lad. Just a bit of friendly advice. Try to focus less on details and getting straight to the point. Sometimes too much explaining at once is a bit too much. Savvy? Now then, where is this New World Order member I keep hearing about. Monsieur Bellec would certainly like to interrogate him as soon as possible.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Targoviste, Romania~ Upon noticing Ron appear in front of them, Bellatrix said, “Well, well, well… Ronald Wesley, a Rider who survived the Great Purge. Perhaps being sent to Romania wasn’t such a waste at all.” “Stormtroopers, kill him now!” Attila ordered the Stormtroopers, who all pointed their blasters at Ron, ready to shoot him.
I initially felt the lineup was smaller than I anticipated (where were Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and the Guardians of the Galaxy?), but seeing as how this is just focused on content over two years, it actually feels on par with release schedules in previous years. It's nice to see them focusing a bit of old and new now that Endgame is behind us, while also assuring us we will be getting more Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy soon as well. Also, really happy to see a confirmation of the Fantastic 4 finally arriving to the MCU!

~Siwa, Egypt~ As Amanda was watching Constanze doing something on her laptop, the two were approached by Lotte and Sucy… "What's Constanze doing?" Lotte asked. "Well she recorded a lot of footage from the earlier battle, including Diana's outburst against the New World Order," Amanda answered, "So we thought that uploading that footage online could be beneficial to our cause." "But wouldn't the New World Order take it down?" Sucy asked. "Oh yeah. I can guarantee they'll take it down within seconds. Minutes if we're lucky," Amanda replied, "But even if just one person gets to see it and has a change of heart when it comes to the New World Order, then it's definitely worth uploading it." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress - Watchtower~ Once Group 3 reached the top of the watchtower, they noticed a locked metallic door was standing in their way. “Oh great, it’s locked,” Ritchie complained as he tried opening the door, “And I doubt we’d be able to break through it.” “Now what?” Emma wondered out loud. Just then, Riku noticed the tip of his Keyblade begin to glow. “What?” Riku thought out loud, as he felt his Keyblade point towards the door on its own. Then, a ray of light shot from the Keyblade towards the door, and the group heard the sound of a lock unlocking. “Did… the door just unlock?” Ritchie asked as he tried to open the door, surprised to see that it had open. “Wow, it actually worked!” Emma exclaimed as the group entered the room inside, where they found Madame Gao looking at them, appearing to be unsurprised by their appearance… “I must say… I’m impressed,” Madame Gao commented, as she stood while holding on to her cane. “Are you Madame Gao?” Ritchie questioned. “That is correct,” Gao replied as she grinned. “So you… you’re the one who’s been torturing Rebels to death?” Emma questioned, as she and the others were surprised to see that the ruthless Madame Gao they heard about was an old lady. “I was simply practicing justice,” Gao replied, “Those Rebels received the exact treatment that they deserved. Are you really going to punish me for upholding the law.” Angered by Gao’s words, Riku said, “A law that terrorizes citizens shouldn’t even be a law in the first place.” Ignoring Riku’s words, Gao took notice of his Keyblade, telling him, “Ah, so you have a Keyblade as well. No wonder you were able to get through that door.” “‘Keyblade’... so it really is called that after all?” Riku wondered out loud before realizing something that Gao had just mentioned to him, “Wait… you mean I’m not the only one with a Keyblade? Who else has one?” Grinning, Gao replied, “It’s a secret.” “Alright, that’s it,” Ritchie said as he looked at Rey, “Rey, could you detain her?” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hunan Province, China: New World Order Fortress~ Boss Battle: Xaldin ~The Whirlwind Lancer~ Spoiler: BGM View attachment 50355 As the battle with Xaldin began, the Inquisitor let out a mighty battle cry as he thrust his lances his lances towards Connor, Tuxedo Mask, and Sailor Mini Moon, who all dodged out of harm’s way. Tuxedo Mask then began throwing his sharp roses at Xaldin while Sailor Mini Moon pointed her Pink Moon Stick at Xaldin, crying, “Pink Sugar Heart Attack!” However, Tuxedo Mask’s roses and the heart-shaped energy pulses from Sailor Mini Moon’s Pink Moon Stick couldn’t even penetrate Xaldin’s protective wind barrier that was surrounding him. “We cannot harm him until that barrier is dealt with!” Connor cried as he and Mewtwo tried avoiding Xaldin’s lances as he was swinging them around while levitating across the area. Hearing what Connor said, Mewtwo said, “Allow me.” Mewtwo then teleported high above Xaldin, and summoned a Shadow Ball as he dove right towards Xaldin, slamming the Shadow Ball towards Xaldin’s barrier, causing an impact that sent Mewtwo and Xaldin flying opposite directions. Both Xaldin and Mewtwo regained their balance quickly, though the protective barrier around Xaldin was now gone. “ENOUGH!” Xaldin cried as he fired a wind projectile towards Sailor Moon, “Take this!” Gasping upon noticing the wind projectile being fired towards Sailor Moon, Sailor Mini Moon quickly rushed to her aid, pointing her Pink Moon Stick at the projectile as she cried, “Pink Sugar Heart Attack!” The heart-shaped energy pulses from the Pink Moon Stick then hit the wind projectile, completely dissipating it. As for Connor and Tuxedo Mask, they rushed towards Xaldin, trying to land a hit as Tuxedo Mask used his cane while Connor used his tomahawk against Xaldin, who was using his lances to both defend himself and attack. “Come on!” Xaldin cried as he used all his lances to push back Tuxedo Mask and Connor. The Inquisitor then teleported above the Rebels, connected his lances and leaped atop them as he yelled, “You will wear the face of despair!” Xaldin’s lances then took on the form of a dragon (like this), and was getting ready to launch a powerful blast of wind towards the Rebels. Gasping as he noticed what Xaldin was about to do, Tuxedo Mask cried, “Run for it!” Xaldin’s lances then began to launch a powerful blast of wind as Tuxedo Mask grabbed Sailor Moon’s hand, trying to get out of harm’s way along with Mewtwo, Sailor Mini Moon, and Connor. Once Xaldin was done with that attack, his lances returned to normal as they went back to levitating around him while descending back to the ground, ready to continue battling the Rebels as he slowly approached them. As for the Rebels, they were panting after running for their lives, with Connor commenting, “This is going to be a very hard battle.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Irkutsk, Russia - Rebel Hideout~ As Finn and the other Rebels returned to the local Rebel hideout after their mission in the New World Order facility, Scootaloo and the other orphans who have been waiting in the hideout since they were rescued ran towards Leia, happy to see that she was fine. “Leia, you’re okay!” Scootaloo happily said as Leia knelt down and hugged the orphans that she was looking after. “So, what now?” Natasha wondered out loud, “We can’t keep the children here. It’d be too dangerous for them.” “We can find another place for them to stay in. Perhaps another orphanage in the city,” Nikolai suggested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~San Diego, California - Harbor: The ‘Maribel del Mar’ (Upper Deck)~ As Ruby battled Yang, Donnie sustained a kick to the stomach and a punch to the chin from Tommy, causing him to kneel. Glaring at Tommy, Donnie questioned, “You really think you can stop me like that?” Placing his hands on the floor in front of him, Donnie summoned ice that froze Tommy’s feet to the floor in order to prevent him from moving from his spot. “Now you’re going to regret trying to challenge me,” Donnie continued, ready to freeze Tommy to death once he got to touch him. However, as Donnie was walking towards Tommy, he was shot in the chest by Skye with her sniper… As Donnie noticed Skye with her sniper high above them in the captain’s quarters, he began to tremble, walking backwards as he tripped and fell off the ship to his death. “No!” Rubeus cried as he and Jemma arrived to the area, looking over the ship where Donnie fell… Looking around, Jemma saw Skye in the captain’s quarters, with the two instantly recognizing each other. Like May and Shining Armor, Skye knew that Simmons was infiltrating the New World Order, but didn’t ever think she’d see her during a mission. Pointing her sniper at Rubeus, Skye was about to pull the trigger, but Jemma quickly pushed Rubeus out of harm’s way as Skye’s shot missed. “Good work, Jemma,” Rubeus told Simmons, “Now stand back as I deal with this Rebel scum.” Turning to face Tommy, Rubeus decided to take advantage of Tommy’s feet being frozen to the ground, about to shoot a dark energy beam from his hand towards Tommy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital - Apartment Building~ Going down some stairs from the rooftop while carrying the unconscious Frank Castle, Murdock sensed a nearby elevator, quickly pressing the button on the wall to call the elevator. Once the elevator arrived, Murdock placed Castle on the corner inside, while also sensing the gang members from earlier making their way up the building. “Foggy, stay with him. I’ll meet you downstairs,” the demon told his Oshawott. “Oshawott!” Foggy replied, giving a salute as he got into the elevator with Frank, with the elevator doors closing while Matt remained outside. Once Matt sensed the gang members arrive to the floor where he was, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital: Watterson Household~ Over at the Watterson household, the Wattersons were having dinner in a very strange and unique way. Instead of using their spoons to eat what was in their plates, each member of the family used their spoon to pick up what was on their plate, and then feed whoever was to their right. So Richard was feeding Anais, Anais was feeding Nicole, Nicole was feeding Darwin, and Darwin tried feeding Gumball. Gumball, however, didn’t feel like eating, feeling upset about what happened with Penny and her father, not eating what Darwin was trying to feed him. And since Gumball was thinking too much about what had happened, he wasn’t doing his part in feeding his father, leaving Richard staring at his son, desperately waiting for him to feed him. Nevertheless, it was certainly a very strange way to have a family dinner, something that Anais was wondering about. “Why are we doing this again?” Anais wondered out loud. “Because your father is always jealous of what's on his neighbor's plate,” Nicole replied. “But why do we all have to do it?” Anais asked. “Because he always cries when he's the first one to finish,” Nicole answered. “Nicole! Operation Greener Grasses failed! The chain is compromised! We are losing calories! Repeat... we are losing calories!” Richard cried as Gumball still wasn’t feeding him. “What's wrong, Gumball, honey?” Nicole asked her son, wondering what was wrong with him, “Don't you like Darwin's dinner?” “I don't wanna talk about it,” Gumball replied, still feeling upset. “Gumball headbutted Penny and now he's never allowed to see her again,” Darwin told the others, much to Gumball’s annoyance. “I meant I don't want anybody to talk about it,” Gumball told Darwin. “Ohh, come here,” Richard told Gumball, hugging him as it appeared he was trying to comfort his son while also licking food off of Gumball’s plate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Sioux Falls, South Dakota - Outskirts: Outside New World Order Facility~ As Starlight Glimmer was observing the damage to the facility caused by the earlier battle, she noticed Director Krennic approach her while accompanied by two Cybermen… “So… they escaped,” Krennic commented. “I had them where I wanted,” Starlight Glimmer responded, “But if those X-Wings hadn’t interfered…” “Not to worry. We can always get them next time,” Krennic said, “The Rebels didn’t succeed in getting what they wanted when they came here. So for them, this whole thing was a waste of time for them. I consider that to be a victory on our part. What will you do now?” Taking a deep breath and sighing, thinking about Sunburst, and how he looked familiar to her, Starlight replied, “I’m going to report back to the Grand Inquisitor.” “Very well then,” Krennic said, “Be sure to send him my regards.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Sioux Falls, South Dakota - Outside Rebel Hideout~ As the U-Wing returned to the Rebel hideout in Sioux Falls, everyone stepped out, with Sunburst telling Jyn and the rest of her group, “Sorry the mission didn’t go as planned. But, do you guys really have to go?” “Yes. I have to report back to Bogo in Alaska,” Cassian replied. “I appreciated what you all did, truly,” Jyn added, while Noctis, Ignis, Prompto, and Bodhi all nodded in agreement. “Heh, don’t mention it,” Sunburst replied, “If you ever come by this part of the world again, you know where to find us.” “Of course. Thank you all again for what you’ve done,” Bodhi told Sunburst and the rest of the Sioux Falls Rebels. “Take care,” Prompto added as he waved goodbye while he and the rest of Jyn’s team headed back to the U-Wing. Nodding, Sunburst told them, “Farewell. And may your hearts be your guiding key.” As soon as Jyn’s team was inside the U-Wing, the ship began to ascend and flew off. “Well, that’s that,” Sunburst told Kira and the others. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ Spoiler: BGM As Coulson was wandering around the base, he heard a familiar voice call out to him, saying, “Phil?” Turning around, Coulson found his old Nintendo High School co-worker, John Smith, approach him, both happy to see each other… “John?!” Coulson replied as the two happily shared a hug, “I can’t believe it. I haven’t seen or heard from you since the Great Purge… I thought something might’ve happened.” “Oh no, it’ll take more than some purge to get rid of me,” John said, “It’s good to see you, Phil. How have you been?” “Oh you know, just living under a worldwide dictatorship. Figured it was time to do something about it. So I joined the Rebels,” Coulson answered. “Good choice. Rose, my mother, and myself pretty much had the same mindset,” John said. “Rose and your mother are here?” a surprised Phil questioned. “Oh yes,” John replied, “Want to say hello to them?” “I’d love to,” Phil said as John led him to meet with Rose and his mother. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown (Again)~ "Rei, is it true? Are you really writing another song?" Rei's grandfather asked her as he and Chad approached her, "I really liked your last song. I'm sure this new one will be great as well." "Piplup, piplup," Chad concurred. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lor Starcutter~ Saphir and Olaf were sitting away from everyone else during the whole trip, given how the others were now suspicious of Saphir based on what Astral revealed about him earlier. "What's gonna happen now?" Olaf asked Saphir. "Don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see," Saphir responded. Just then, Olaf noticed Hermione's Vulpix approach him. "Hehe, hello, little guy," Olaf greeted Vulpix as he patted the Pokemon on its head. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Scotland - Coast~ Once Bellec and the rest of his Rebels arrive to the shore, they were approached by Jack Sparrow and the rest of his group… “Pierre Bellec,” Jack greeted Bellec as he extended his hand towards him, “Jack Sparrow, at your service.” “A pleasure, Mr. Sparrow,” Bellec replied as he shook Jack’s hand. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you supposed to be in Shalour City?” Jack questioned. “We were,” Bellec answered. “But the New World Order launched a surprise attack,” Elise added. “We were outgunned,” Serena added, “We had no choice but to evacuate.” “I can relate,” Kristoff commented, “I had to evacuate Arendelle since the Rebellion is pretty much dead over there.” “So, I take it you’re all going to hide under Fergus’s watch in Scotland?” Silver questioned. “More or less,” Bellec answered. Just then, the Lor Starcutter appeared near the Rebels after landing and decloaking. “What the?!” Kristoff wondered out loud, surprised by the appearance of Lor Starcutter. “Don’t be startled,” Bellec told Jack and the others in his group, “Last week, a few of the Rebels under my watch left Shalour City to take care of something. And before we arrived ashore, I learned that they were able to acquire this ship, using it to follow us here. And it seems they have a man associated with the New World Order onboard.” “You don’t say…” Jack replied, “So, who is this New World Order person they’ve got? And what do you intend to do with him?” “Not sure. Though I’d like to interrogate him and find out everything he knows,” Bellec answered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Targoviste, Romania~ As she was walking around Targoviste with Attila and Hun, Bellatrix was complaining, “This is unfair… I was so close to dealing with that Lily Potter, but if it wasn’t for that owl woman, I wouldn’t be relegated to patrolling this stupid city!” “Easy,” Hun told Bellatrix, trying to calm her down. Pretty soon, the three saw Ginny following Mew in the distance. “What’s that girl doing with that Mew?” Attila wondered out loud. “Not sure, but it does seem suspicious. Let’s find out,” Bellatrix replied as Attila and Hun nodded while following her.
