~Secret Japanese Military Base in Germany~ A Japanese military helicopter along with a J.I.A. Quinjet arrived to the damaged military base, flying over it as they both slowly landed on the ground. As Japanese soldiers exited from the helicopter, J.I.A. agents exited from the Quinjet, led by Agent Sam Wilson... "Damn..." Wilson said as he and the others surveyed the damage in the base, "See if you can find any survivors." "Yessir!" the other J.I.A. agents responded as they joined the Japanese soldiers in searching the base. ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Lumiose City, Kalos Region, France~ Spoiler: BGM Bonnie gasped at the sight of Lumiose City as the Muppet car arrived at the city, driving through its streets. "Pinch me, I must be dreaming!" Bonnie happily cried. Smiling at the sight of his hometown, Clemont said, "Bonnie... we're home." "Deden!" Bonnie's Dedenne added, feeling just as happy as Bonnie at returning to their home. "I can see why you loved it here Bonnie," Pipsqueak told Bonnie, "It's much better than I imagined." "And look at all the shops! So many things to buy!" Sweetie Belle added as she noticed the high number of shops the car passed by. "Heh, I wouldn't mind spending my next vacation here," Gonzo commented, "So, any luck finding the office for Vogue Magazine?" "Hmm, my GPS says it should be here somewhere... OH! There it is!" Fozzie said, pointing to a building with the Vogue Magazine plaque on it. "Got it," Kermit replied as the Muppet car parked next to the building. As everyone got out of the car, the Swedish Chef asked, "Meess Peeggy is here-a?" "Let's hope so," Kermit replied as he and the others entered the building. -------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo District 12: Katniss's Home~ Katniss silently nodded in response to Sakura as she watched her and Ron leave. Just as they left, Katiss and Haymitch noticed Rue enter the living room... "Who was it?" Rue asked. "Some family friends," Katniss lied, "Just checking on me." "Oh," Rue replied, "Anyway, I was gonna start on my Biology homework." "Oh right, I was gonna help you with that," Katniss said, "Let's go to my room. We can start on it straight away." "Thanks," Rue replied as she, Katniss, and Haymitch returned to Katniss's room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Hotel Lobby~ "Oh, don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault," Olaf replied to Elsa after she apologized. "He's right," Saxon commented, "It was really that Harold Flamel staying silent that gave us all the jitters for the past few days about your well-being." "Yes, speaking of which... I know this all seems so sudden to you, your highness, but the Ministry of Justice has scheduled a trial for Harold Flamel this Friday," Harriet Jones told Elsa, "There is a high probability you will be chosen to speak as a witness. I was told that you felt no ill-feelings towards him. So, if you wish to help his case, then I suggest staying in Japan at least until his trial is over." While Olaf, Jones, and Saxon were talking with Elsa, Hans put his hand on Anna's shoulder, asking her, "So, you happy to see your sister again?" ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Police Department HQ: Interrogation Room~ "Very well, Harold," the blind demon replied to Harold after he asked to only be called by his first name. When Harold mentioned Matt being handicapped, Murdock replied, "Yes, it's true. I am indeed blind." Upon mentioning he was blind, Matt began to reminisce to the day when he was 9 years old, blinded after an accident in a street in Tokyo... Spoiler: Flashback in Matt's Mind "But rest assured, Harold, I know what I'm doing," Murdock said after remembering the incident that caused his blindness. "Oshawott," Foggy added, nodding in agreement with Matt. Reaching into Matt's strapped briefcase, Foggy pulled out Matt's diploma certificate, indicating that Murdock graduated with a degree in law along with a Summa Cum Laude honor (indicating he had one of the highest grades in his graduating class). "Osha," Foggy said, showing it to Harold. Although Matt was blind, he could tell what Foggy was doing, as he always does that with new clients. "Foggy, put that away," Matt sternly told Foggy, "How many times do I have to tell you not to do that." Pouting his face and sweatdropping, Foggy did as Matt instructed him, putting back Matt's diploma back in his strapped suitcase, saying, "Oshawott..." "Sorry about Foggy," Murdock told Harold, "Anyway, the trial is scheduled for Friday. Which gives us plenty of time to prepare. So, from an objective point of view, please tell me exactly what happened from start to finish." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ "Well, that's that," Hiccup commented as he saw Sakura and Ron exit Katniss's home, "I think I better get back to my dorm. Got some homework to finish, and Toothless might be worried about me. Later." "Bye Hiccup," Alpha replied as he watched Hiccup teleport away, "I like him." "He has a strong heart, Alpha. He will be an excellent Rider," Zordon said. ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Outside Restaurant in Tokyo's Chinatown~ As Lee and Carter continued monitoring the restaurant they suspected had ties to Shan-Yu, Carter noticed a man with hood standing outside the restaurant, waving to a truck that was backing up to the back side of the building. "Hey, that your boy?" Carter asked Lee. Looking closely at the man's face under the hood, Lee quickly recognized the man as Shan-Yu... "Yes, let's go," Lee responded. "I better go in first. Ain't nobody gonna recognize me," Carter commented. "I'll wait five minutes," Lee replied as Carter entered the restaurant. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Restuarant in Tokyo's Chinatown~ As Carter entered the restaurant, the hostess greeted him, saying, "How you doing? For one?" "No, for two. I'm here for a meeting with Mr. Shan-Yu," Carter replied. Surprised by what Carter said, the hostess said, "I'm sorry. I don't know Mr. Shan-Yu." "Maybe you don't understand. I'm Mr. Shan-Yu's legal advisor," Carter lied, "He got into some s*** again. I'm a very busy man. I ain't got time to be coming down here. My wife wants me to come home, baby's s***ting all over. Would you please get Mr. Shan-Yu?" "But I have already told you, I don't kn-" the hostess once again said before being interrupted by Carter. "You think I came here for nothing? You gonna give me gas money?" Carter interrupted the hostess, "Would you please go tell Mr. Shan-Yu to get his ass here? Thank you." Flabbergasted by what Carter said, the hostess watched as he grabbed a nearby menu and walked over to a nearby booth table. "Can I sit here? Right here? Thank you," Carter said as he seated himself, "Y'all got any eel?" "Sure," the hostess replied as she headed towards the back to let Shan-Yu know what Carter just said. --------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ: Mewtwo's Chamber~ As Mewtwo continued meditating while Discord was listening to music from his old Sony Walkman, an announcement was made throughout the Crystal Order headquarters over speakers, saying, "Will the new recruits please report close to the entrance of the facility for their initiation into the Crystal Order. Anyone else wishing to attend the initiation ceremony is free to do so if he or she wishes." Removing the headphones from his ears, Discord commented, "Hmm, new recruits. I'll check this out." Placing his star locket back around his neck, Mewtwo replied, "I might as well join you as well." The two then exited the chamber, heading towards the area where the initiation would take place.
Why I have no idea what you're talking about...
Not a big fan of that artwork, but I'm still really interested in this game. I only played a bit of Red Rescue Team on an emulator on my phone some years ago, which I had fun with, so I'm sure I'll like this game, especially with every known Pokemon so far in it. And it's got Mega Evolution, which is a huge plus for me.

I was devastated by Leonard Nimoy's death, and this news has turned me into an emotional mess. It is no understatement when I say Christopher Lee was among my all time favorite actors. Ever since I first saw him in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, I could tell there was something to Lee's performances that couldn't be replicated by others. He was absolutely brilliant with his work, regardless of the role. When I heard that he'd be in KH2, I was ecstatic at the thought that Count Dooku himself was going to be in the game. And oh what a joy it was to hear his excellent performance (really helped balance the oh so banal performance by Richard Epcar). I was also happy to hear him once again in 358/2 Days, but I never knew it would sadly be his final performance for the series. I knew in my mind that the man was growing older, but inside, I refused to even think of a world where Christopher Lee wasn't around us, especially after saying he had no intention of retiring from acting a few months ago. But now I have to accept the fact that the world will never see or hear more of Lee. Thank you, Christopher Lee, for continuously impressing me since I was 10. You can never be replaced.
~Hotel Entrance~ "It was a pleasure meeting you, Queen Elsa, Princess Anna," Yen Sid replied as he bowed back, "If there is anything... anything at all that you need, do not hesitate to contact me." Watching Elsa and Anna entering the lobby, Yen Sid turned around and started walking away, hoping things would work out for the ice queen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Chinatown~ As Inspector Lee and Officer Carter kept a lookout at the restaurant they suspected was affiliated with Shan-Yu, the two decided to get something to eat from a local vendor, and the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "So, ever seen Shan-Yu up close?" Officer Carter asked Lee. "Yes. The first time I saw him, he killed my partner," Lee replied. "I'm sorry about that, man," Carter told Lee as he shook his head, feeling bad for Inspector Lee, "That's why I have no partner. I learned that from my Daddy." "Your daddy was a policeman?" Lee asked Carter. "Fifteen years, TPD," Carter answered. "My father was also a policeman," Lee commented. "Your daddy was a cop?" Carter asked. "Not a cop, an officer. A legend all over Hong Kong," Lee replied. "My daddy a legend, too. All over Japan," Carter said as the two were becoming competitive regarding their fathers, "My daddy once arrested 15 people in one night, by himself." "My daddy arrested 25, by himself," Lee replied. "My daddy saved five crackheads from a burning building, by himself," Carter said. "My daddy once caught a bullet, with his bare hands," Lee replied. "My daddy'll kick your daddy's ass all the way from here to China, or Thailand, or wherever you from. All up that Great Wall, too," Carter said. "Don't talk about my father," Lee replied. "Don't talk about my daddy," Carter said. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Hotel Lobby~ "ELSA! YOU'RE BACK!!" Olaf happily cried as he rushed towards Queen Elsa, hugging her once he reached her. "Thank goodness you're alright!" Harriet Jones added, joining Olaf in hugging Elsa, "You have no idea how much effort has gone in locating you." "Yes. It was a very busy four days. Some were beginning to wonder whether we'd find you. But, that doesn't seem to be the case," Saxon commented. "It's good to finally see you back safe, your highness," Hans told Elsa. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo District 12: Katniss's Home~ "Thank you, both of you," Katniss happily replied, "I really appreciate it." Sensing another presence in the room, Katniss turned around and found her Pikachu, Haymitch, walking towards her... "Pikachu," Haymitch said, smiling at Katniss. "Hey Haymitch, come here boy," Katniss replied, with Haymitch climbing up to Katniss's shoulder. As she patted Haymitch on his head, Katniss said, "You guys saw the battle, what Thrax did. That there is the reason I want to work alone. To protect the ones I love. Like this little guy here." "Pika," Haymitch replied. ----------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ Hiccup remained silent as Lily and Navi were discussing Katniss choosing to fight alone, still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Katniss was a Rider. "Lily is correct, Navi," Zordon told Navi, "Joining a team must be her choice entirely." "I agree with Zordon," Alpha added. "But we have to keep her identity a secret," Hiccup commented, "If she doesn't want to join a team, then we better keep her identity a secret between us, even from the others in our team. Wouldn't exactly be fair for her." ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo Police Department HQ: Interrogation Room~ Hearing a knock on the door, Looker opened it, and found Officer Jenny standing outside the interrogation room... "He's here," Jenny told Looker. "Excellent," Looker replied as he exited the interrogation room, closing the door behind him. About a minute later, Matt Murdock entered the room, carrying a white cane to help the blind lawyer walk, while his Oshawott, Foggy, sat on his shoulder... "So, you're the Harold Flamel I heard so much about," Murdock told Harold as he took a seat, facing Flamel, "My name's Matthew Murdock, but you can just call me Matt. And this little guy's name is Foggy." "Oshawott," Foggy greeted Harold. "It's nice to meet you," Murdock continued as he extended his hand to Harold for him to shake. ------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Park~ Somewhere in an empty park, Skye sat on a swing with her backpack on the ground next to her. Skye was silent and motionless, staring into thin air as she was thinking about what had happened today. Within a few minutes, Skye noticed Shining Armor walking towards her... "Hey," General Shining Armor said after reaching Skye. "Hey," Skye replied without facing Shining Armor, who sat on the swing right next to Skye. "Heh, this place sure does bring back old memories," Shining Armor commented as he observed the park, "When I was a kid, my parents would bring me here every weekend for a picnic. Sometimes I'd find my friends in the playground, and I'd play cops and robbers with them. Man, those times were fun. And they got better after my little sister, Twilight, was born. She'd sit in the very swing you're sitting on, and I'd teach her how to swing on her own. Her B.B.B.F.F., that's what she called me." Looking at Shining Armor, Skye gave the J.I.A. general a weird look, not knowing what he meant by B.B.B.F.F. "Umm, stands for 'Big Brother Best Friend Forever,'" Shining Amror explained, chuckling. Skye smiled a bit in response, asking, "So what's the moral of this story?" "Well... when you have a job like mine, you gotta make sacrifices. I barely get to talk to my family these days. But that's the price I pay for their protection," Shining Armor replied. As Skye began pondering Shining Armor's words, she asked, "So you're implying what Kai did... keeping a secret from me... it was for my protection?" "Sometimes... secrets must be kept, Skye... even if you don't like it," Shining Armor replied, "I'm sure Kai did what she did for a good reason. Give her a chance, Skye. She's your friend." "Well I'm still upset about what happened," Skye said, "When I joined the Rising Tide, I thought that for the first time in my life, I had someone I can trust, with no secrets kept between us whatsoever." After a moment of silence, Shining Armor asked, "Skye, why did you join the Rising Tide?" Reaching into her backpack, Skye took out a file and handed it to the J.I.A. general. "What's this?" Shining Armor asked as he opened the file. "It's everything I have," Skye answered. "On the J.I.A.?" Shining Armor asked. Shaking her head, Skye replied, "On me." Surprised by Skye's answer, Shining Armor looked at her, noticing that she was tearing up. "That's why I learned to crack systems, why I joined the Rising Tide ... to find any details I could about my parents," Skye tearfully continued, "My whole life, I never knew where I came from, who my parents were... I spent my entire childhood going from one pair of foster parents to another. I never knew what it was like to have a family. Which is why I tried to search on my own, see if I had any relative. So when I searched hard for my parents... nothing. No records. There's no trace of them. My lifelong search has led to a single document... redacted." "By the J.I.A..." Shining Armor commented, noticing the document in the file relating to Skye full of text that was removed by the J.I.A. for some reason. Seeing Skye continue to cry, Shining Armor took out a napkin and handed it to Skye. "Thank you," Skye told Shining Armor as she wiped away the tears from her face. "Skye... I can admit that there are some things about the J.I.A. even I don't know. So, I really wish I can give you an answer about this document straight away, but I can't," Shining Armor replied, "However, maybe I can still help." Pointing his hoof towards the park entrance, Skye noticed Shining Armor's team standing there, waiting for him... Spoiler: BGM "I can't guarantee you answers, but if you join our team, maybe you and I can work together to find out the truth about that document," Shining Armor continued, "We could sure use someone with your skills on the team." "You mean it?" Skye asked, surprised that Shining Armor offered her a place on his team. As Shining Armor happily nodded in reply, Skye hugged him tight, surprising the J.I.A. general. "Thank you," Skye whispered to Shining Armor, who smiled as he hugged her in return. Once the two stopped hugging, they walked over to the park entrance, where Skye began speaking to the members of her new team. Meanwhile, somewhere in the park, a woman with a flower dress sat on a bench, watching Skye interacting with the others... 'Interesting,' Raina thought to herself as she took a picture of Skye with her phone. Once Skye left with the others on a jeep, Raina got up, wanting to show the picture she just took to someone she knew would want it.

Spoiler ~Outside Secret Japanese Military Base in Germany~ As Shay and the others headed out of the destroyed Japanese military base, Quan Chi asked if Shay was heading to his place of operations so he can speak to his superiors. "Actually, we're just going to camp out in the wilderness. If you have something to say, I'm the only one you need to talk to," Shay replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ: Warren Vidic's Office~ Spoiler: BGM "Excellent," Warren Vidic said as he grabbed the files that Kazari tossed, handing them to Vanitas, "Your homework, young man, study these files. Know your enemy. The list may be incomplete, but we'll be sure to update you with any new additions." "Alrighty," Vanitas replied as he took a look at the files, but was surprised to see that some on the list included people from Nintendo High, "Woah, never gonna look at them the same way again. Either way, I wouldn't even hesitate taking 'em out." ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Kitchen of Restaurant in Tokyo's Chinatown~ As Shan-Yu's men were close to finishing counting the cash Madame Gao brought in earlier, Shan-Yu received a call on his cell phone from the man who all the cash was for, Megumi Kitaniji... "Yes Mr. Kitaniji," Shan-Yu said as he answered his phone. "Is the money ready?" Kitaniji asked. "Almost," Shan-Yu replied, "My men and I will be at the location ready for the transfer within an hour." "Very well, but don't be late. I'm not a very patient person," Megumi said as he hung up. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Police Department HQ: Interrogation Room~ As the police arrived back at the police headquarters, Looker watched as Harold was taken inside the building into to the interrogation room, handcuffed to the table in front of him. As the other police officers left the interrogation room, Looker was left alone with Harold. "Alright then, here's what's going to happen, Mr. Flamel," the police chief told Harold, "Officer Jenny arranged for someone to speak with you in a while. That someone will be your attorney. Once you're done talking to him, we'll be speaking with him ourselves, and then we'll see what next steps will be." ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tsukino Household - Rini's Room~ Rini silently sat on her bed, looking out the window while Luna-P flew around her. She was impressed with how her room looked now, with a majority of it filled with Serena's old things. "Wow, the night sky looks great," Rini said as she gazed at the stars and the moon in the sky. 'The sky was never this beautiful in the future,' Rini thought to herself as she remembered her times in the future. In the future, it was dark all the time, and no star could be seen in the sky. Not even the moon. But if there was anything that made spending those gloomy days better for Rini, it was being with her parents and their friends. Sighing, Rini took out the star locket Mewtwo gave her out from her pocket, and opened it, listening to the locket's music, humming to the tune. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Crystal Order HQ~ "I believe Phase 2 of the Cybus Project is ready?" Haytham Kenway asked as he was walking through a hallway with John Lumic. "Yes, everything is going as planned," John replied. "Excellent," Haytham replied as he and Lumic stopped at a door. Opening it, the two saw a metallic endoskeleton standing still in the middle of a room... Spoiler: BGM "Amazing..." Haytham commented while gazing at the endoskeleton. "What you see is the first of a line of robotic assassins, called Terminators. This specific one is referred to as the T-800 Model Terminator. I have two more models I would like to work on soon. But my main goal now is to finish the final phase of the Cybus Project," John told Haytham. "Yes... the Cybermen..." Haytham commented. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Tokyo Streets: Inside Muppet Car~ After gathering at Kermit's mansion, Clemont, Bonnie (with her Dedenne), Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak joined Kermit and the all other Muppets inside a crowded car. "Wow, can't believe we're all back together," Fozzie Bear commented, "But why are Kermit, Swedish Chef, Gonzo, and myself the only Muppets with a banner?" "Quite simple, Fozzie," Gonzo replied, "Roxam hasn't even reserved any of the other Muppets yet, so he's stuck having to write this post implying that everyone else is here without even having them reserved yet." "Oh, that makes sense," Fozzie said. "Anyhow, looks like we've got everybody, so we can plan for our telethon on Friday," Kermit said. However, looking around, Clemont and Bonnie noticed that Miss Piggy wasn't among the Muppets in the car. "But wait, wher-" Clemont asked before being interrupted by Kermit. "All good! All done here!" Kermit interrupted Clemont, trying to make sure he didn't mention Miss Piggy. "Where's Miss Piggy?" Bonnie asked. "Deden?" Bonnie's Dedenne added, wondering where Miss Piggy was as well. Noticing Kermit sigh after being asked about Miss Piggy, Fozzie asked him, "Kermit, we're going to get Miss Piggy, right?" "Okay, okay, okay, you're right," Kermit replied, "We'll go get Piggy." Searching for info on Miss Piggy on her cell phone, Sweetie Belle said, "Miss Piggy works for Vogue Magazine in Lumiose City, France. Oh, wait! That's where Clemont and Bonnie are from!" "Oh, then let's drive there," Pipsqueak replied. "You can't drive to France, Pipsqueak. It's way too far, unfortunately," Clemont answered Pipsqueak. "Then maybe we should travel by map," Fozzie suggested. "Good idea, Fozzie," Kermit replied as Fozzie pressed a button on the car's dashboard labelled "Travel By Map", which caused the following animated map to appear: Click Me The Muppet Car then emerged from the waters of a beach in Marseille, France, surprising Clemont, Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak that they were able to travel from Japan to France so quickly. "Okay, onwards to Lumiose City!" Gonzo said as the car drove across the beach, en route to the capital of France. ------------------------------------------------------------- Tokyo District 12: Katniss's Home~ "So... coming here, revealing yourselves to me as Riders... are you trying to get me to join your group?" Katniss asked, "Because if that's why you're here, then I'm sorry. But I have no interest in joining such a group. I know I haven't had much time with being a Rider, but I intend to use this new power only to protect District 12... alone. Nothing more than that."
~Streets of Tokyo's Chinatown: Officer Carter's Convertible~ As Carter drove through Chinatown, he found the restaurant that Jazz told him about, where he expected to get a lead to Shan-Yu's whereabouts. The following then happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Roof of Building Next to Nintendo High School~ "Heh, it's about time," Goldar said to himself as he noticed Mario appear. However, as Mario and Luigi were joined by so many other individuals and raced towards Peach's home, Goldar found it hard to try and keep up, gliding from one building rooftop to another. Once Mario finally reached Peach's place, Goldar lied on a rooftop of a building closeby, exhausted. "This better be worth it," Goldar said to himself as he slowly got up, and went back spying on Mario and Luigi while making sure he couldn't be seen by anyone. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Eh, perhaps you're right, S-type," Thrax replied to Astral-S, "Knowledge of the Rider's identity could certainly prove to be useful. Which reminds me..." Walking over to his mother's telescope, Thrax could see Goldar spying on Mario and Luigi just as Astral-S suggested. "Looks like Goldar found the red and green colored brothers and is spying on them like you suggested," Thrax told Astral-S. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Secret Japanese Military Base in Germany~ "I'm curious as well," Shay replied to Tanya once she said she was curious as to what Quan Chi meant when he said his master needed the fallen man. Once Quan Chi said that it was fortunate they met, Cormac asked, "Hmm, and why is that?" Before Quan Chi could reply, a device in Hun's pocket was beeping. Taking the device out, Hun checked to see what was causing the beeping. "Sir, we've got two enemy planes making their way here," Hun told Shay. "Well, we already did what we intended to do here, and that was to send a message. So I see no reason to stay. Let's get out of here," Cormac replied. Attila, Hun, and Starlight Glimmer all nodded in reply, putting their weapons away, with Attila signaling to his Muk to let Quan Chi go. Once Muk did as Attila instructed, Attila summoned his Muk back into its Pokeball. As they began to leave, Shay turned to Quan Chi, saying, "You can come with us and continue our discussion, our you can stay here and fight off whatever the Japs send. Your choice." ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Kermit the Frog's Mansion~ Hearing the doorbell ring, Kermit rushed to open the door, finding Clemont and the others outside... "Hey Kermit!" Sweetie Belle greeted the Muppet. "Hi ho guys! Come in, you're just in time," Kermit replied as the others entered. "Oh, Kermit, we've got great news!" Bonnie told Kermit. "Really? What's this great news then?" Kermit asked. "Clemont got a celebrity guest for Friday," Pipsqueak answered. "Wow, good job, Clemont!" Kermit told Clemont, "But, uh... which celebrity?" "Diantha. I got to meet her while I was at Tokyo Univerity earlier today," Clemont answered. "Wow, Diantha, huh? Great actress. Love all of her movies," Kermit commented. "So I guess that means we're almost ready for Friday?" Bonnie asked. "Deden..." Bonnie's Dedenne added. Kermit nodded in reply, with Bonnie and her pony friends happily cheering. Hearing the doorbell ring once more, Kermit headed to the door and opened it, finding fellow Muppet, The Swedish Chef, outside, exhausted after running all the way from Nintendo High... "Oh, there you are, Swedish Chef," Kermit greeted the Swedish Chef. Without even replying, the Swedish Chef collapsed to the floor out of exhaustion, with Kermit shaking his head, saying, "Ugh, good grief." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Crystal Order HQ: Empty Room~ Spoiler: BGM With the blindfolded Vince McMahon sitting on a chair, Brock Lesnar locked the door to the room so that Vince doesn't try escaping when he finds out where he is. "Okay Lesnar, I've had this damn blindfold on for a long time. You gonna tell me where I am and who I'm supposed to meet?!" Vince McMahon angrily questioned Brock Lesnar. Without saying a word, Lesnar removed the blindfold off of McMahon's eyes. Looking around, Vince found himself in an empty room with Brock Lesnar, nothing really catching his attention, except for a banner with the Crystal Order logo on it hanging on the wall. Vince was speechless upon noticing the banner, but what shocked him even more was seeing Lesnar removing his right glove, revealing the Crystal Order Logo on Brock Lesnar's right palm. Shaking his head in disbelief, McMahon rushed to the door, trying unsuccessfully to open it, yelling, "LET ME OUT!! LET ME OUT!!!" "It's no use, Vince. It's just you and me," Lesnar said. "Crystal Order, Brock?! That's the cabal you were talking about??!! You're a f***ing terrorist??!!" Vince cried. "Hey hey hey, let's discuss this like civilized individuals," Brock Lesnar replied. "Like hell you know how to be civilized. You and your Crystal Order buddies are the complete opposite of civilized," Vince yelled. "Vince, listen to yourself. Do you really think the Crystal Order does what it does just because it likes to hurt others? Look, it's unfortunate others have to die, it really is, but as long as the governments of the world keep doing evil acts, we won't stop. We only want to help, nothing more," Brock calmly replied. "Help?! I'm sorry, but I have a really hard time believing that," Vince commented. "Then believe this... remember when I said joining my group can help you with your recent money problems? Well..." Lesnar said as he took out a small tablet from his pocket, seemed to be doing something with an app, then handed it to McMahon. "Check your accounts," Lesnar told Vince. Looking at Brock strangely as he took the tablet from him, McMahon did as he was instructed. Once he checked his funds, McMahon was shocked to see the losses he was fixated on earlier in the day were gone. "H-how?" Vince asked, trying to understand how money was added to his accounts. Grinning, Lesnar replied, "We've got a lot to talk about, Vince." ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM As Xehanort and Sunset Shimmer continued walking through the Crystal Order HQ, they passed by the elderly Madame Gao... "Madame Gao, it's good to see you once again," Xehanort told the elderly member of the Crystal Order, bowing to her, with Gao bowing back in return, "Sunset Shimmer, allow me to introduce you to Madame Gao, one of the wisest individuals I have ever met." Sunset Shimmer bowed down to Madame Gao just as Xehanort did, with Madame Gao smiling and saying something in Chinese. "Umm... pleased to meet you as well?" Sunset Shimmer replied, not sure what Gao just said. "If you'll excuse me, Sunset, I need to check on something. I'll be back later," Xehanort said as he left, leaving Sunset Shimmer with Gao. "Curious about the brotherhood, aren't you, young one?" Madame Gao asked Sunset Shimmer, not speaking in Chinese this time, surprising Sunset Shimmer. "Y-you, you just spoke-" Sunset Shimmer said before interrupted by Gao. "Yes, I can speak more than just the language of my homeland," Madame Gao interrupted, "In fact, I speak all languages. But as for you, Sunset Shimmer, I wonder, is there something on your mind?" Sighing as she tried to think of what to say, Sunset Shimmer said, "It's just... I've heard so many things about the Crystal Order over the years, and well... what I've seen here today... I don't know what to think anymore." "I can understand what you are going through," Gao replied, "I can remember the days before the Crystal Order even existed. And believe it or not, young one, the world wasn't unlike the world you know today. Evil could be found on every corner of the globe. From the large companies that control citizens, to the politicians who lie about their loyalty to the people. But when the Crystal Order was formed, for the first time, someone was willing to stand up to the evils of the world, and save the Earth's citizens. We want to save the world, and create a society where everyone can be happy, with no oppression whatsoever." Sunset Shimmer began to ponder the words Gao mentioned, thinking about how society treats demons like her as second-class citizens. 'Maybe she, Xehanort, and well, the whole Crystal Order, has a point,' Sunset Shimmer thought to herself. "Think about this, Sunset Shimmer. Man cannot be both savior and oppressor... Light and shadow. One has to be sacrificed for the other. Choose... And choose wisely. Or others shall choose for you," Gao told the demon.
The Book of Prophecies was mentioned in Kingdom Hearts X[chi] as being able to predict the future and allow an individual to explore places from the future. I highly doubt it was Yen Sid's book.
~Crystal Order HQ: Rassilon's Office~ Spoiler: BGM "Hmm, not a bad plan, not bad at all," the Crystal Order's No. 3 replied to Daniella as he got up from his seat and walked towards her, "Very well Daniella, I shall give you permission to conduct this mission. But make sure you are 100 percent that she is a traitor before doing something to her that you might regret. Dismissed." ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Wilderness in Germany/Sokovia Border~ Carrying the injured Sgt. Keith Shadis on her shoulders as she kept walking as far away from the Japanese military base she and Shadis were stationed at as possible, Aveline was beginning to feel exhausted, not sure how much longer she could continue. Eventually, Aveline noticed a village in the distance. "The f*** are we?" Sgt. Shadis asked. Looking at a flag pole in the village, Aveline recognized the flag as being that of Sokovia, a country that bordered Germany to the east. "Looks like we crossed the border, Sarge," Aveline replied, "We're in Sokovia." Aveline then headed for the village, hoping she can get help for herself and for Shadis. ----------------------------------------------------------- Tokyo District 12: Katniss's Home~ As Katniss was serving Ron and Sakura homemade lemonade, Ron began explaining, with Katniss remaining calm as she realized that Ron and Sakura knew about her being a Rider. "Thrax... so that's what that guy was called, huh?" Katniss finally spoke after remaining silent for a while, "How much of the fight did you see?" --------------------------------------------------------- ~Sidewalk~ As Darien walked through a sidewalk, he noticed a familiar face sitting at a nearby bench... "You sure love popping up when you're least expected, Nick," Chiba told Fury as he took a seat next to him, noticing he was carrying a box. "I've been thinking a lot lately," Nick Fury replied as he handed Darien the box. "What's this?" Darien asked. "An 0-8-4. And not just any 0-8-4... THE 0-8-4," Fury answered. Darien was shocked when Fury mentioned what the box was. '0-8-4' was the name given by the J.I.A. to objects of unknown origin. After being located, the J.I.A. would then store these objects in a warehouse, usually to never be examined again. "Dammit Fury, you're gonna get us in trouble!" Chiba quietly scolded Fury in order to not attract attention from people passing by. "Easy, Chiba," Nick replied, "I'm a Level 10. I got permission to take out 0-8-4's from the warehouse whenever I want." "Only if it's necessary for security reasons," Darien said, "So I expect you have a good reason, Nick. And what do you mean by 'THE 0-8-4'?" "Inside that box is the first ever 0-8-4," Fury answered as Darien opened the box, and noticed a crystal inside, "Found in Germany during the last days of World War II. It was said Hitler tried to use it to his advantage when Germany was beginning to lose the war. He called it... the Silver Crystal." 'Silver Crystal... why did that term sound so familiar,' Darien thought to himself as he closed the box. "And you're giving it to me... why?" Darien asked once more. "I... have no idea," Fury replied, "I just had this strange... feeling that I had to give it to you. That you knew what to do with it." Sighing and shaking his head, Darien asked, "So, what am I supposed to do with it?" "Up to you," Fury replied as he got up, ready leave, "Put it back in the warehouse. Keep it. Give it to someone else. Your choice. And don't worry, you can't get in trouble for it." As Nick Fury started walking away, Darien looked at the box he was carrying, still trying to figure out why Fury even gave him this 0-8-4, and why the mention of the term 'Silver Crystal' felt familiar to him. --------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ Once Siebold, the Swedish Chef, and Gordon Ramsay all tried Max's crêpes, the reactions were definitely better than earlier with Max's ratatouille, but the reactions were more kind than glowing. "Definitely better than your ratatouille Monsieur, though it could use some more work," Siebold commented after taking a bite, with the Swedish Chef nodding in agreement. "It tastes like any crêpe, and that's really the main issue. You didn't make it unique. But I'll give you credit for at least making an effort to make it better than that piece of s*** ratatouille you made earlier," Gordon Ramsay said. "And that concludes today's meeting of the Cooking Club," Siebold told the remaining students, "It was great meeting you all today." "Alright guys. Same time tomorrow," Gordon Ramsay said as he and the other two chefs headed towards the exit. "Bye-a bye," the Swedish Chef added, waving goodbye as he left. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Streets: Officer Carter's Convertible~ "Thanks," Officer Carter replied on his cell phone as he hung up while driving his vehicle to Chinatown, having been informed of Harold Flamel's arrest, "Looks like dat wizard at Aerith's really was behind da ice queen's disappearance. Good news is we found Elsa an' arrested that guy. But enough of dat. We gotta find Shan-Yu." "How much longer till we reach Chinatown?" Lee asked Carter. "We're here," Carter replied as he and Lee noticed Tokyo's Chinatown in front of them. ----------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Secret Japanese Military Base in Germany~ Hearing Tanya warn of an intruder, Attila turned around, and found Quan Chi. Quickly taking out a Pokeball, Attila threw it towards Quan Chi's direction, yelling, "Muk, don't let that guy get away!" Out of the Pokeball came Attila's Muk, landing right behind Quan Chi... "MUUUUK!!!" Attila's Muk cried as it grabbed Quan Chi from behind, holding him tight so he wouldn't get away or attack. Attila, Hun , and Starlight Glimmer ran towards Quan Chi, with Attila and Hun pointing their guns at him, while Starlight Glimmer held her scythe close to Quan Chi's neck. "Well well well, what do we have here?" Shay Cormac wondered aloud as he arrived at the scene, examining Quan Chi, "Judging by your clothes, you're definitely not part of the Japanese military. So, what's your business here, loner?" ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ: Warren Vidic's Office~ Spoiler: BGM Hearing a knock on his door, Dr. Warren Vidic said, "Come in." The door then opened, with Vanitas entering Vidic's office... "You wanted to see me, Doc?" Vanitas asked. "Yes, come in. Have a seat," Vidic replied as Vanitas entered his office and had a seat on a chair next to Vidic, "I wanted to show you this." Taking out a red colored Driver and a see through Lockseed labeled ELS-01, Vidic handed them to Vanitas, who asked, "What's this?" "That, young man, is Azarathian technology," Vidic answered, "The same tech used by the Rangers and Riders to transform to their spandex forms. What you're holding in your hands allows the user to transform to a Rider." "And you're giving it to me... why?" Vanitas asked. Grinning, Vidic replied, "Well, our superiors figured it would be nice to have a Rider who fights for us. I happened to come across the tech in your hands a few days ago, and figured I might as well do some modifications to it. And that's where you come in. So, how do you like the idea of being a Rider?" Examining the Driver and Lockseed, Vanitas grinned, saying, "Hmm, I think I would like the idea of being a Rider." ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Tex Richman's Tokyo Penthouse~ As Tex Richman sat on his desk, watching financial news on the TV while on the phone with members of his company's board of directors, he noticed the doors open, with an angry Diantha storming inside... "Umm... I'm gonna have to call you guys back," Richman said as he hung up his phone and got up, walking towards Diantha, "Honey, didn't expect you to come here so early.'" As he approached her, Diantha slapped Tex Richman's face hard, much to his surprise. "OWW! What did you do that for!" Tex cried, hurt from Diantha's slap. "You know very well why," Diantha replied, "You lied to me, Tex. You don't want to build a Muppet museum. You just want to tear down their old theater and mine for precious minerals!" "Wha- Who told you that?!" Richman questioned. "A little bird told me," Diantha replied, "Told me about your plans, and how the Muppets have a telethon this Friday night to raise enough money to buy back the theater." "They WHAT?!" Tex yelled. Noticing the way Tex reacted to hearing what she said, Diantha figured that he really was planning to tear down the theater. "So, it's true?" Diantha asked. "Alright, fine. I confess. I never planned to be build a Muppet museum. And so what? Who even gives a damn about those Muppets anymore?!" Tex replied. "Then... it seems I was wrong about you, Tex. I defended you against those who said you were a heartless individual who only cared about riches... but it seemed they were right," Diantha said as she shook her head, turning around and heading towards the exit, "It's over between us, Tex." Once Diantha left, Richman yelled, "Well fine! I don't need you!" 'Darn Muppets...' Tex angrily thought to himself. ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM Looking over a railing, Sunset Shimmer and Xehanort could see the entrance to the Crystal Order headquarters, along with countless members of the organization walking around. Noticing two individuals entering the headquarters, Sunset Shimmer was shocked at realizing who they were... "Are you kidding me?! Brock Lesnar AND Vince McMahon?!" Sunset Shimmer cried, shocked to see WWE pro-wrestler, Brock Lesnar, accompanying a blindfolded Vince McMahon, chairman and CEO of the WWE, "They're part of the Crystal Order as well?!" "Well, Lesnar is," Xehanort answered, "As for Mr. McMahon, he's been having financial troubles lately. The Crystal Order is planning to help him out with that... in exchange for joining the brotherhood. As for the blindfold on his face... I believe Lesnar wants to break the news to him slowly. But yes, Sunset, the Crystal Order is a very diverse worldwide group, you'd be surprised at who is a part of our brotherhood." --------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Flower Shop~ Watching the police escort the handcuffed Harold outside, Yen Sid noticed the way Elsa acting, with Anna telling her that they needed to head back to their hotel. "I can accompany you there if you want," Yen Sid told Elsa. Once Harold was placed in the backseat of a police car, Officer Jenny took out her cell phone, and called one of her contacts. "Hey Matt, Jenny here. Mind coming by HQ. There's someone I think you may want to talk to," Jenny spoke on her phone as she got on her motorcycle and followed the police car with Harold in it.
Luke Mitchell promoted to series regular. Guess that pretty much confirms Lincoln as part of the Secret Warriors.
