Crossover: Re: Mario's High School Days II - Age of the New World Order

~Space~

Up above and away from the blue world that had been taken over by the New World Order was a seemingly metallic "Moon" that had been orbiting the planet rather conspicuously cloaked and hidden without issue.​

~Space Station: Outer Deck~

Spoiler

On one of the outer decks closest to view stood two people who were looking down upon the Earth, both were male teenagers who looked very similar to each other in terms of clothing styles and shape. The first of the duo was short and somewhat chubby with brown hair hidden underneath a red cap, his shirt matched his cap as it had a button on it with a red M. The other male was taller and a bit skinnier than the first with a green shirt and cap, his hair was the same color as his brother as his cap had a green L on it. Both of them wore a pair of blue overalls in differing shades, a pair of brown boots, and a pair of white gloves on their hands. Their blue eyes, big round noses, and dark-brown moustaches also were identical to the point where you could say these two were twins.

The one in red placed his arms across a railing and looked upon the blue world, his eyes stern but showing a small bit of worry. "Luigi, this is the second time we've been up to space...and yet the view down below doesn't feel the same as the first." The male in green kept his composure and looked out responding. "Well, when you've been tossed into space in order to fight a evil copy of yourself for the sake of the world and suddenly the world gets taken over and you're running for your life to not end up getting killed with your view of Justice being crushed in front of you due to a conspiracy and political movement...well, your view would change, Mario." Mario looked at Luigi telling him. "This is why I am not big into politics, innocent people end up hurt and nobody will hear their cries as their voices are silenced...Glory to the New World Order...yeah right! But you know there are much bigger fish to fry than them." Luigi nodded slowly, he knew all too well what Mario was referring to. "Yeah, we should go meet up with the rest. Mr. Wilhelm wanted to speak to us." Mario nodded before the brothers began to walk back into the station.


~Space Station: Meeting Room~

The brothers proceeded to walk along the metal hallways of the station until they had reached a large room with a long table and quite a few familiar faces among them. A blue-eyed blonde girl looked up at the brothers rather sweetly but also looked tired. "Hey Mario..." Mario looked over and ran up to the blonde looking concerned as he asked. "Peach, are you all right?" Peach slowly smiled. "I'm fine, just a bit exhausted from training." A big-nosed green dinosaur and a small pink puffball were waving their hands. "Hey Mario, Luigi! Kirby and I have waiting on you to get here!" Luigi waved as the brothers sat down. A orange-eyed male with platinum-blonde hair was sitting at the end of the table quietly looking at everyone before Wilhelm brought up. "I feel as though we all know what is going through our minds right now." The red-haired turtle known as Bowser soon stood up and shouted. "Yeah, the New World Order sucks, took over the planet, and now everyone is under their oppressive thumb!" Wilhelm looked at Bowser startled by his thought before recomposing himself and said. "Yes, crude but to the point." Yoshi nodded. "Yeah, but we have all been training up here for months. So isn't it enough to go get Japan back?"

Wilhelm shook his head. "As much as I and everyone else in the room would like to go back home and resume our ordinary lives, storming into the Capital would only end with all of you getting captured or worse killed by their mere numbers..." Wilhelm then turned to face Mario and Luigi. "...even with these two on our side." The short lilac-haired girl known as Neptune looked at Wilhelm, her purple eyes in wonder as she asked. "Then how can we get Japan back?" Wilhelm looked at Neptune before looking away and back at everyone as he explained. "As you know, on Earth the New World Order has power everywhere and there is a rebellion forming against it." Wilhelm turned to face a brunette girl with a leafy-green ribbon in her hair and an over-sized blue jacket. "Your father is leading one of these divisions, Miss IF." Iffy's green eyes widened in surprise. "My father is fighting the New World Order?" Wilhelm nodded. "Yes, it is why I sent some of the people who were with us that day inside that S-Type back to Japan...just so they may have a fighting chance."

Peach looked at Wilhelm before asking. "Then what about us, what do we need to do?" Wilhelm soon pressed a button on the table causing a 3D hologram of Earth to appear with Tokyo, Japan marked with a red dot. "As you all see, the Capital is located right where we all live and is the central point of the New World Order. That area is the strongest point they have and we wouldn't be able to breach it alone." Multiple red dots soon began to appear on the radar in other parts of the world. "However, if we can cause a stir within the populace by overthrowing and eliminating certain key people within the New World Order, we can show the people that they are unable to protect them and thus they will begin to riot and the Capital will be weakened just trying to use what they have to silence the chaos. It is then that we can storm the capital and take back Japan and our planet."

The pink puffball known as Kirby remarked as he hopped onto the table, his blue eyes on the hologram. "That's quite a lot you are asking of students like us, Mr. Wilhelm." Wilhelm responded. "Yes I know, Peppy's training has helped prepare you for this day. We shall do this one step at a time..." The hologram zoomed in on Europe with a dot placed on London. "The first thing you all will need to do is head to London. The Compass has shown me that the Rising Tide had all settled down here to hide from the New World Order after being on the run in Japan, Surprisingly they have managed to adapt and still do what they have been doing before the Purge. Anyway if we are going to get Japan back, we will need their skills and expertise." The raven-haired girl known as Noire stared at Wilhelm with a hand on her hip. "Sorry, but how do you know this information from a compass?" Wilhelm looked at Noire with a smile before reassuring her. "If you do not believe me, I also have an eyewitness..." the male pointed to another male at the table with short red hair clad in black armor. "Aoi here had recently visited his sister and thus knows where she lives." Aoi Kazue's blue eyes widened in shock. "With all due respect sir, I wasn't going to abandon Saki again after your trickery and deception all that time ago." Wilhelm merely chuckled. "Do not get so worked up, you are actually helping us." Mario placed his hands in his overall pockets. "So basically we need to find the Rising Tide." Wilhelm nodded. "Yes, you all should get ready. Once you are ready meet with us in the Transport Room and we will get you safely to London."

Mario and his friends all got up from their seats and started to leave the room, a young girl with platinum-blonde hair that covered one of her eyes bounced up to Mario and Luigi, the girl named Rosalina said with a frown. "I'm worried about our parents. Do you think they're alright?" Mario looked at the girl before giving a big smile. "I'm sure they're fine, they wouldn't let the New World Order stop them" Rosalina simply smiled.


~Abandoned Japan Military Base~

"Indeed, you are both good men for staying with what you believe in regardless of what has happened to this place." A male voice remarked as a short man much akin to Mario was walking towards both Hino and Sycamore carrying some more food before proceeding to help pass out food to the people, his golden-yellow shirt and cap somewhat brightening the mood as he said. "Sorry, I should properly introduce myself. My name is Jumpman and we ran a local restaurant before all this nonsense occurred. My family and I had to take action considering we are against the New World Order and our prior incidents with them. My wife and brother are currently working on making more food for these people."​

 

-The Capital - Nintendo High School-

Hermione quietly walked to school, keeping herself ever since the world changed. Her friends were out in the world, branded as criminals cause of their powers and devices. While most everyone she knew fled or pulled out of the school, she didn't, though she did move into the agency and Sakura, Seki, and Hinako joined her, having Koyomi with them. Sakura had gotten her to join the Alliance and wear a red scarf when she wasn't at school. Draco looked at Hermione and looked away, blaming her friends for this state of the world and pure-bloods having to interact with muggles and muggle-born people.

Looking at the hallways as she went to her shoe locker, Hermione wiped her eyes and changed her shoes before stepping in school, feeling all alone in the school.



-Tsukino House-

Serena came down, carrying Luna and a suitcase. Luna looked as down as Serena, but Serena looked at her parents and set Luna and her suitcase down, hugging them. "Everything will be okay...." She said, trying to be strong. Luna lowered her ears, looking sad.



-Abandoned Military Base-

Rei sat by herself, praying over a small fire she made to guidance to everyone who was out in the world, trying to defend themselves and for Hermione, who was still at the school. 'Oh spirits of Mars, please, watch over her and protect her in this time of need.' She prayed, despite not knowing her, Rei knew that the people she knew were in the world and considered fugitives so Hermione needed all kinds of help.



-Scotland-

Gasping as he finished up his push-up on a beam, Harry wiped his sweat and looked out his window, his reflection showing that his body was getting a bit of a muscular tone since he had began to train and exercise to fight, his Pokemon, Riolu, looking at him as he wiped his sweat from his body. On a bedroom desk there was his Driver and Lockseed, next to it was a silver sword with rubies. 'I still don't know why he would leave that here.' He thought, recalling a encounter with a elderly man who came to visit them a little after the Purge, saying he could help them restore the world but Lily and James refused and the man left, leaving the sword which Harry took as his own weapon. Before he went to freshen himself, Harry began to hear a flute playing.

Spoiler: Song being played

'Must be Kit.' Harry thought, listening to his younger sister play. 'She has gotten pretty good, this must be hard for her and Kat. Getting caught up in this just because Mom, Dad, Remus, and I are heroes who are now deemed criminals cause of this New World Order. As their big brother, I promise that we will try to take the world back.' He walked and went to take a shower. Indeed, WilyKit sat in her room, playing her flute while WilyKat listened, remembering how their father had received a upgrade in his power, the creature he represented changing from a mastodon to a frog.

Remus watered the small garden of flowers that Lily had made in memory of Severus' death, during the time in Scotland, he had decided to forego the wolfsbane potion and during the months that had followed, he began to tame his werewolf side on his own with help from James and Lily. He also had been working on a disguise since their identities were known due to having their powers. He looked as Harry came up, having finished freshening up and took him to his room to the results of the disguise he had made.

In a abandoned warehouse, Lily finished the work she had made. 'It's about time we get out of here.' She thought, as James came in, asking, "What would you been working on in here?" "Get Remus, the Wilys, Harry, and Riolu." She said, looking at him in his new Ninjetti form. James nodded and went to get the rest of their group. Lily breathed and looked at what she had worked on before looking at a photo of Severus. 'Sevy, I will beat the New World Order for you.' She thought, before hearing Harry, "We're here, mom." She looked and saw Harry in the new outfit that Remus had been making, noting that he was holding the sword that was left at the castle.



"My, someone looks handsome." Lily said, Harry looked away. "So what is it you have been working on?" "This." Lily said, revealing the tank that she was standing. She also revealed a pair of hoverboards for the Wilys, a pair of red and white motorcycles, and a trio of bikes, having the mofits of the Red, Blue, and Black Rangers. Lily smiled and said, "I give you the ThunderTank, along with the hoverboards, Sakura Hurricane, Rose Attacker, and the Battle Bikes." "This is impressive, Lily." Remus said, smiling with the Wilys in surprise. Lily nodded, "It's about time that we head out and show the New World Order we mean business. But there's something I need to do first."

Lily left and went to a grave which had Severus's name, his birth date and his death date which had the description: 'Here lies Severus Snape. A loyal friend to the end'. She bowed and knelt at the grave.



-Tucson, Arizona - Abandoned Photo Studio-

Hikaru, Krim, and Go were found by Harley and taken to Arizona where Go used to live while working with him. Being with Harley, Hikaru got more of the Shift Cars and Go got all of his Shift Bikes, the two becoming friends and getting closer, working together as partners. Go learned more about sign language and was able to work as her translator as well as be able to hold a decent conversation with them. Naturally they joined the Rebel Alliance in America, working from Tucson.



-Gokai Galleon-

Since the Purge, Emma had ended up with the Gokaigers on the Galleon. Since she had no idea of knowing where her team was and worried about the New World Order finding her while looking for them, Emma stayed with the Gokaigers and learned how to be a pirate, taking Gai's place as apprentice pirate. She got close to Luka and Ahim as sisters while followed and listened to Marvelous, trained with Joe, learned cooking from Don and practiced with Gai.

Emma sat in the main room of the Galleon, having some tea as the ship flew in the sky. Ahim sat with her while Luka looked at her jewels and Gai sat, looking out the window and Doc was working on the Gokai Guns.



-Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota-

Hiding his hair and face under a hood, Takeru looked around and breathed, walking in the cold and making sure that he wasn't being followed as he headed to the Alliance was stationed in Minnesota. While he was walking, Takeru wondered if Belle was okay, he pondered how his role as Ghost would have been found out, since the Purge happened so quickly and he was suddenly labelled as a wanted criminal.



-San Diego, California-

The two twins, Tommy and Thomas, donning the new outfits of their upgrade power in their respective colors, looked out at the city. Tommy had gotten from having the White Tiger to the Falcon while Thomas's power remained as a dragon but it seemed to be based on the Eastern kind of dragon whereas his older power was based on the Western dragon. Tommy looked out at the city, he sighed. Thomas looked at his brother, wondering how he felt, he was engaged but he and his fiancee were considered criminals and were on the run.

"Lets go, Thomas." Tommy said. Thomas nodded, the two pulled up the masks and hood of their outfits.



Upon covering their faces, the two brothers headed out, hiding among the shadow of the crowds to meet other Alliance members.



-London, England-

Kimberly, who ended up in London and hiding due to her color and wearing the outfit of her new power, looked around. Her power had gone from being the Pterodactyl to the Crane, pulling off her glove to see her engagement ring from Tommy. She wondered where he was and if he was okay, she put her glove back on and checked the coast was clear. She pulled her hood and mask up to hide her face.



She ran out and tried to headed for her shelter, trying not to run into any of the Stromtroopers or Cybermen, especially the Cybermen.

 

-London, England-

Harold Flamel laid up aginst one of the walls, wearing a brown dirty old hat covering his eyes as he wore a red scarf around his mouth, hsi starting green eyes peering out, his attire was a long brown waistcoat with a white shirt and beige trousers with trainers, everythign ahd literally gone to hell, the Magicial Community exposed and of course, Umbridge who hated anything that wasn't prueblood or such drivel, the Statue of Secrey that kept the Wizarding World safe was no other word of a lie, in tatters and a new system was implemented, the Sorcery Solution System which was somethign akin to magicial monitoring, basiclaly in laymen's terms, when new witches or wizards gets a new Wand, a advanced spell called the Trace is placed upon the youth until they graduate from school, it traced the magicial suer swift and if the Department fo Misuse Magic found Muggles saw magic, it was a offense, he didn't sign up because luckily, he had all of Nichoas's documents and journals and removing the Trace early was easy.

"Merlin, and here I thought Britain would stand against this... Then again, all of the world is overrun." Harold mumbled lowly, ever since everything went to hell, he had been living a life of a backpacker, money was no issue since Gringotts Goblins were very sensitive about their gold and being a Goblin Friend to them, he had a magical bag to call upon the currency needed for the coutnry he was in, his trunk had undergone some changes, it wasn't all tidy and new but instead looked worn and been through its paces, plus with the uniquie wards he put up and designed himself, nobody would ever think a rebellious young man like himself was getting through checkpoints as luggage.

Harold did not know where his travels would take him, he chose to keep little contact with allies out of feat the SSS would track him through it sincefinding one man was harder than a group of people, he had been in Britian for who knows how long but the swift overtaking of the world was all too well timed, Harold moved inbetwen the buildings when he was sure the coast was clear, he planned on infiltrating a Cyber Industries factory to learn more about how they worked, hopefully nobody would be in trouble or distract him from his mission, after all, his DNA was still Potter and ingrained in ti was the Hero-Complex.

 

~ United States - News Broadcast ~

"...And that is why we at Energyne will be working with our new world government, and providing whatever resources we have for their use." Energyne CEO Claire Wyden spoke as she stood in front of the Energyne HQ, speaking to a large crowd of reporters and bystanders. "This decision was made with the unity of the world in mind. We will use all of our genetic engineering assets to help them maintain this newfound order. And I, Claire Wyden, openly state that anyone who aims to disrupt that order will be considered enemies of Energyne!"

Once the crowd reacted to her speech, Claire began to answer their questions.



~ Nintendo High School ~

"This is so dumb! Why do we even have to go to school, anyway?! Isn't there, like, a war going on or something?!" One Damien LaVey asked as he and his two friends entered the school building, the demonic teen growling as he gave his locker a small kick. As Oz tried to calm him down...the largest of the boys, Scott, grinned and waved at the other students entering the building.



~ Ocean - Glomgold's Ship ~

Flintheart Glomgold and his employees were on the rich duck's ship, heading slowly but surely to the Drake Barrier Reef. "Alright, look alive, all of ya!" Glomgold began. "Here's how this is going t' go. We're going t' head in and snag all the treasure! With that money and the status that'll come with it, I'll get in good with th' government! Maybe even get m'self a nice little seat of power! And with that power, I'll finally show up Scrooge McDuck...ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!" At this, he let out a loud, evil fit of laughter. Then he stopped, giving a small sigh of content. "Ahhh...just th' thought of it's got me practically beamin'! I'm gonna go to my cabin and celebrate prematurely!"

Once he left, Hack, Slash and Gabby went over their plan. "So here's how this will go. Once we get to Atlantis, we have to do our absolute best to mess up the expedition as much as we can." Gabby spoke. "Do everything we can to make sure Mr. Glomgold does not get that treasure. Perhaps, if we do 'poorly' enough, he may fire us. And we'll be free to pursue more...pleasant employment."



~ Aether Foundation ~

The Aether Foundation was housing a sizable number of people seeking shelter, all of who were being well-taken care of by the Foundation employees. Lusamine, her highest-ranking researchers and Leon were doing their best to both juggle their work and tending to the people they were sheltering. Leon had been among the students who would not be attending Nintendo High today.



~ Room ~

It had been a while since Mileena started working with Vito, and by now she had completely adjusted to her new life. While her family and friends were still very much in her heart, now she used them as motivation to keep going.

 

~Space Station: Transport Room~

To most people, the people who would be heading to the Transport Room would be seen as normal teenagers who would be attending Nintendo High right now to further their education and live their everyday lives. Now these children would be dragged into a war they thought they would never have had to fight stemming from years of conspiracies and the past actions of their parents and ancestors, for two of them the weight of the world was on their shoulders.

Mario and his friends soon entered a room with multiple glowing pads on the floor, a control panel located near the wall where two men were stationed, one man looked elderly in a black cloak while the other was younger in a red cloak. Also present was a short gray hare in a long gray coat, his eyes looking at Mario before he calmly said. "I wish all of you luck and hope you all return safe and sound." Mario nodded with a look of respect in his eyes. "We will Mr. Hare. Don't worry about us." Wilhelm and Aoi soon came in behind them as Wilhelm remarked looking at the elderly man. "Sheev, set the transport coordinates to London, Engalnd." The Black Testament referred to as Sheev nodded and worked at the controls while Wilhelm looked at Mario. "In order to make it safely down, each of you will take a pad and stand on it. I won't go into the technical details of it but you will appear in a flash of light at the destination." Wilhelm then looked at Aoi. "You will head down with them and lead them to Saki. I took the liberty of modifying your Darth Vader armor in order to have more mobility and a sleeker feel, with you and your sister wanted by the New World Order they would be aware of both you and your sister's aliases, so we cannot afford them to see your face."

A blonde in a green dress looked at Wilhelm with her blue eyes before asking. "If we are all wanted by the New World Order, shouldn't we all have a way to cover our faces?" Wilhelm sighed and looked at the girl. "Well Miss Vert, both my team and Gadd's team are currently working on a solution to the issue but it will take some time. This makes it imperative for you all to find those girls and stay out of sight. Even with my company's encryption methods on your phones, it is advised to refrain from making any unneeded phone calls for now." Mario soon walked up and stepped on one of the pads before smirking with a thumbs up. "Don't worry about us." Luigi soon stepped onto the pad beside Mario looking at him. "Mario, you know we have no way of fighting off those Cybermen things, right? I mean we can't punch and kick them and then they fall down." Peach stepped up beside Luigi and adjusted the belt that she had around her waist, a familiar red and gold Lockseed hanging from her pants before placing it in her pocket. "You worry too much Luigi."

Rosalina stepped up beside Peach giggling. "But he's cute like that." A brunette in yellow and orange named Daisy stepped up beside Rosalina stretching as she remarked. "Guys, seriously?" to the two girls. Bowser, Yoshi, Kirby, Neptune, and IF following as they stepped onto the pads. A girl in a cream-colored sweater with pink hair bounced onto her pad and looked at IF. "I can't believe your dad is involved." The brunette looked over at the other girl and smiled. "Well Compa, he has experience with war." A girl similar to Neptune in terms of eye and hair color walked upon a pad, her long hair moving about. "Well, looks like we're going to see somewhere different than Japan." A girl akin to Noire clad in a black dress walked onto a pad looking at the girl who spoke. "Don't bet on it Nepgear, this isn't a vacation." Her red eyes turned towards two small brunette girls in pink and light-blue. "That goes for you two as well Ram and Rom, you need to stay with us and not wander off." Ram and Rom nodded as they, Vert, and the short brunette in white named Blanc all stepped onto the pads. Aoi also stepped onto the pad and put his helmet on causing his voice to deepen as he asked. "Aren't we missing someone?" Everyone looked around before Luigi said. "Yeah, our big sister."​

 

-Galleon-

Finding her tea, Emma breathed and looked out one of the windows, concerned about her team. Ahim touched her shoulder to comfort her. Emma nodded, "Sorry, but it's just so worrying. Not knowing if they're okay, if they were tortured or executed." She looked down, "I am grateful for everything you all taught me. Teaching me piracy and all." "It will be alright." Ahim said, looking at her.



-Scotland-

While James added the Rebel Alliance symbol onto the red dot on the hoverboards before the Wily nearly gave him a heart attack while testing them out, Remus made a sheath for Harry so he wouldn't have to carry the sword by hand all the time. Harry watched him, the mask on his forehead with his glasses on his face and holding Riolu in his arms, he asked, "How did you get so good at sewing, Remus?" "It's something I picked over the years due to my monthly transformations." Remus explained, looking at him as he finished up and sheathed the sword, putting it at his hip, hidden by the coat.



-Nintendo High School-

As Hermione headed to her first class, someone asked her, calling out to her, "Why do you still come here?" Hermione looked and saw Nico Saiba, a professional gamer who also attended the school but was usually busy with her games. She crossed her arms and said in a whisper, 'You're part of the Alliance, right? Why still come here when everyone you know is out in the world somewhere, running around as criminals?' Hermione kept quiet as she remembered Sakura asked her the same question, Nico looked at her and sighed, walking to her and patting her head.

"Sorry, I was a bit tough there." She said. "But it is something I do wonder. You blame yourself cause your friends and allies are fugitives, and the world is like this." Hermione tried to keep her tears in.



-Abandoned Japanese Military Base-

Rey, a scavanger who joined the Alliance and was at the base, sat by herself, craving something on a piece of wood. Poppy, the Alliance's mascot and a friendly S-Type, appeared to everyone, standing with a big grin. "Hello, everyone! It's your very friendly and lovable S-Type, Poppy!" She said, waving her hands.



-Cairo, Egypt-

Walking through the city, there were two people, they had covers over their heads to hide their face. Looking from his cover, Eiji looked around, sighed, seeing the state of the world. Luckily he and Ankh had ended up together, though he wasn't sure if it was a good or bad thing that they were paired together after the event that caused the Purge. Eiji did wonder if everyone else was okay.



-Chicago, Illinois-

Billy, Philip, and Shotaro ended up in Chicago, luckily Philip and Shotaro were together and Billy was able to find who in the Alliance was in the Windy City. Since Philip was weaker phsyically of Double, it was often Shotaro and Billy who went out. Billy had gotten a upgrade in his power, going from the Triceratops to the Wolf, which he found unique but didn't mind too much.



-Lumiose City, France-

Landing in Lumiose City, Sirius wandered the street in his dog form, keeping himself and headed for the base located in Paris. Naturally, he was worried for his godson and his friends, as well the Wilys, but at the moment, chose not to draw too much attention and let everyone assume that he was just a stray dog who wandered the street and oddly looked well fed while on the streets.



-Sub-Sahara Africa-

Two lions ran across the Savannah, the lioness, Nala, stopped and breathed, stretching and kneading the ground with her claws. Simba kept quiet, feeling guilty. He said, "Nala, you go ahead. I need time to myself." "Um, okay." Nala said, going on and heading into the base. She removed the hidden amulet from her neck, showing her in her human form, briefly naked and hiding behind a tree, then came out wearing the outfit given with her power upgrade.



Walking to adjust to her human legs, Nala past a window and looked at herself, touching the emblem on her chest. Her power went from being the Saber-Tooth Tiger to the Bear, she wasn't sure why but she thought it was odd, though she didn't say. Nala was worried about Simba and hoped he was okay.



-Romania-

Ron went to Romania after the attack, finding his second oldest brother, Charlie, who took him in along with Mew. They both joined the Alliance and Ron reluctantly and hesitantly told Charlie about his powers, which Charlie was amazed. Ron worried about Harry and Hermione, he wasn't sure where Harry was and Hermione was still in Japan, where the NWO was headed. He worried about her the most.



-Sioux Falls, South Dakota-

The rest of Emma's team had ended up in the Midwest America, and met up with the Alliance there, all joining though they were all equally worried about Emma and where she could be. Kira sat on a pile of boxes and strummed her guitar while Noah worked on a code to hack all screens to give a message of hope. Troy and Orion trained with Jake while Gia looked out a window and looked up at the sky, wondering about her childhood friend.



-Rainbow Line-

The ToQgers were able to board the Rainbow Line which was able to still run and luckily there was enough Imagination to keep the train going in a area with train stations as well as adults couldn't see it, however, they did join the Alliance and tried to offer any help they could.



-Den-Liner-

All the Taros looked at Ryotaro who seemed downhearted at what happened, while there were suggestions of going back in time to stop it, Ryotaro didn't want to change history cause he felt like he still wouldn't be able to stop the attack or the sudden change of the world. Momotaros groaned as the train car was quiet and steadily sped through the sands of time.



-Castelia City, New York-

'Wearing this stupid wig makes me feel a punk with a identity crisis.' Dante thought, walking through the crowds of Castelia City and wearing a black wig to hide his white hair as well as a coat and boots to hide the outfit of his upgraded power. He headed to the base of the Alliance stationed in New York and felt his hidden guns, Ebony and Ivory while his sword, Rebellion, was at the base. Dante also thought about his upgrade in power, going from the Tyrannosaurus to the Ape, which Dante personally thought was a downgrade in power but he didn't complain about it. He avoided any interaction with the Stromtroopers and Cybermen, as not to reveal himself.

 

~Chicago~

Shotaro walked the streets with billy, having chosened to remain robed to hide hsi features sicn ethey were on the run, it was a bit iiritating to abandon the Narumi Detective Agency but it was all for a good cause as eveyrone was scattered, his inital thoughts on Billy were he was a technical man who didn't look like much of a fighter but discretiona nd the unorothdox were key to surivivng, Phillip was well... Phillip.

-Cairo, Egypt-

Ankh tsked, it was oen thing to evacute teh country but ow things were on the run, gettign an ice lolly was the least of their concerns right ow, of course, being a Greeed, he could become a arm and fly abeit unoticed compared ot his full body, he wasn't sure what the New World Orde rhad ins troe but fi they gathered his Cores, he was unsure if he'd live sicne teh S-Types technology was beyond anything anyone known.

~Gokai Galleon~

Marvelous leant aginst the steering wheel, looking out, they ahd taken refuge underwater at the moment and waitign for night to come so they coudl get out and move to another part of the world and submerge again, it was mainly hide and run tactcis for now, he wa susnure where they were now.

~Nintendo High School~

Yuuki hit Nico on the back. "Come on now Saiba, let the girl breathe! It's up to ehr what she can or can't do, sometimes actions speak more than words ever could, fi soem fo ehr friends are on the run, we got to respect her decision about them, I admit, I did nto see all of this coming but it's the world we live in now, all we got to do is just get by as normally as we can, after all, no doubt our careers are goign to be eitehr sign up as one of them troopers or do ajob benefitting our new Minister." Yuuki said ina cute thinking posture.

"Well, at least normal as can be." Yuuki added.

 

~London, England~

Within the starry night skies of merry old England was a species of odd insects resembling small ships, their crystalline navy-blue bodies reflected by the glow of lines on their abdomen, their eyes seeking out targets before spotting something pink and moving down below. They soon started to dive with their long mandibles in front glowing and crackling with electrical energy, their high speed allowing them to quickly catch up to Kimberly and begin to fire bolts of lightning at her while they darted around signs and other things with lightning-quick mobility.​

 

-Nintendo High School-

"Konno, I'm just worried about her and if she'll be able to see her friends again." Nico said, looking at the purple haired teenager that hit her on the back. Hermione looked at them and gave them a fake brave smile. "Thank you for worrying about me, but I'm fine. There's nothing I can do about my friends in their current situation, just hope that they're alright and someday we'll be able to meet again." She turned and walked to her first class, Nico watched her and sighed.

Heading to her first class of the day, Hermione went to her desk, keeping to herself. Draco went to his desk and looked at her, saying, "You know this is your friends' fault, if they had just compromised with the New World Order, you wouldn't be here by your pathetic lonesome. Though, I still blame them for having the New World Order break down the walls between the magical people and muggles. Now all my pure blood companions have to interact with the filthy lowly mudbloods." As he continued to rant about his complaints, Hermione's anger overflowed and she punched him square in the face, knocking him out.

"You fowl loathsome evil little cockroach!" She shouted. "You don't know anything about my friends or what they did for this country!" Gasping for air, Hermione looked and saw a shocked Nico, composing herself, she said, "Um, that felt good......" "Good?" Nico said, then smiled. "That was brilliant! But you're likely to get in trouble for hitting a student." "It's not the first time." Hermione said, thinking back when she was eleven and lied to protect Harry and Ron, thus cementing their friendship.



-Abandoned Japanese Military Base-

"Thanks." Rey said, setting the wood down and took the food. She ate calmly while Poppy was being her bubbly self and cheering up the younger children in the base. Rey looked at Rue. "So, why are you helping the Alliance? One of your friends the wanted 'heroes' announced every hour?"



-Abandoned Japanese Military Base (Again)-

Rei put out the fire and went to sit with her grandfather and Chad, she breathed and said, "I hope the prayer I sent to protect Hermione works. That poor girl, her best friends are fugitives and she's all alone at the school."



-Tsukino Household-

"Come on, Luna." Serena asked, having the cat hop onto her shoulder and taking a last look at her parents. "We'll meet again someday." She bowed at her parents and grabbed her suitcase, looking like a mature grown up woman rather than the clumsy and klutzy girl she always was.



-Scotland-

"Isn't this amazing?!" WilyKat said, stopping and standing his hoverboard with WilyKit on hers while James looked like his spirit nearly left his body. "I think Lily might have left to tell him and ask if we could go." Remus said, standing as he put his sewing kit away. "Miss Merida, we are grateful to you and your father for caring and providing us a place to stay during this dark time as well as letting us all join the Alliance was formed, but we can't stay in Scotland forever. We need to head out into the world and help return it to the peaceful way it used to be."

"We just have to hope the New World Order doesn't know about my power upgrade." James said, recovering from his shock and touched the emblem on his chest, silently wishing his new animal was different. Remus looked at him and said, "I think your new animal suits you as much as your previous. You do tend to jump into things without thinking." "Moony!" James shouted, embarrassed.

After paying her respects, Lily pulled out some lily flower seeds and dug up a small hole, placing it. 'Sevy, whatever you are in the afterlife, I hope you can see these flowers bloom every year and remember us.' She thought, covering the seeds and stood up, nodding. Then she went to find Fergus.



-Gokai Galleon-

After putting Emma to bed and reassuring her that everything will be alright, Gai rejoined everyone in the main room and asked, "So what are we going to do now?" "Just wait and see how far we can get in the night," Luka said, looking at him. Ahim looked at her tea cup, "I feel kinda bad for Miss Emma, separated from her friends and not sure what to do." "Hopefully, us teaching her to be a pirate can help her in some way." Don said, looking at everyone.



-Cairo, Egypt-

Stopping for a moment to hide from a Stormtrooper, Eiji sighed, 'As much as I want to become OOO right now, I can't risk transforming right here and right now, considering the punishment for what would happen If I did transform in public.' Looking around, Eiji walked with Ankh, surprised that he wasn't complaining but he guessed that he understood not to stand out when they were wanted as fugitives.



-Chicago, Illinois-

"Welcome back, Billy, Shotaro." Kendall Morgan, the Alliance's tech maker, said, looking at the Blue Ranger and the left half of Double returned to the base. "Anything new on the outside?" "Nothing so far." Billy said, looking at her. Kendall nodded and breathed, wondering what to do.

Philip sat by a window, reading his blank book and thinking about Hermione back in Japan with the Narumi Detective Agency. Shelby Watkin, a young African American member, looked at him and found it particular that he was reading a blank book. "How can you read that?" She asked, curious, Philip looked at her and looked away, looking out. "I just can. Sorry, Miss Shelby Watkins, this is just a lot to adjust." Shelby looked at him and sighed.



-Castelia City, New York - The Playground-

"Finally, I can take this stupid thing off." Dante said, breathing and removing his wig, revealing his natural white hair underneath then removed the clothes to show the red and gold Ninjetti outfit that he had received.



After adjusting, Dante went to the hiding spot where he put Rebellion and put it in the sheath that he placed on his back, then put his guns their holsters. 'Bet that Vergil is enjoying the fact I'm on the run and celebrating not to hear my complaining anymore.' He thought, stretching.



-Sub-Sahara Africa-

"Oh, Nakia." Nala said, seeing the person who helped her and Simba. "He's still outside, I guess he feels guilty or something is bothering him. I don't know what. I hope he is okay." She touched the Bear emblem on her chest, thinking about her teammates and where they are. Simba laid out the base, feeling the wind through the fur of his mane and sighed, wondering to do.



-Arendelle-

Elsa looked out the window of her room, ever since the failed meeting, she wasn't sure what to think about Saphir or witnessing the death of King Regis. Anna's opinion about Hans also changed, no longer seeing him as her one true love. The sisters kept each other company and Anna was considering running away but Elsa reminded that Hans would notice one of them gone, so they were basically stuck in the castle.



-London, England

Seeing the S-Types target her, Kimberly was quick to use her agility, sending a upward kick at one. She fought, using the style of the animal she had, the Crane, showing her movements as light as a feather. 'You've got to be kidding me.' She thought, groaning as she fought the S-Types. Gasping for air, she realized that the S-Types were as quick as her, Kimberly shouted, "Someone, help!"

 

-London, England-

Harold paused in his steps, the S-Types appeared to have found something or soemoen fi they were acting up and he silently moved through the darkness and saw a pink costumed woman having trouble and clearly being outnumbered and she obivously knew that, the S-Types obivously required vision and Haroldproduced two sphere-like objects from under his coat thrown them upwards in an arc in the centre of the fight, as soon a sthey amde contact, a dense plume of smoke arose from it, thanks to tinekring with focused amoumts of smoke, everyones vision was taken up as Harold darted within the cloud of smoke, aiming for the young female and grabbe dher wrist as he procuded another ball and trhown it with as much strength as he could down an alleyway and it shattere dupon impactful, creating a noise for the S-Types to pick up, a distraction bomb as it were as he pulled the costuemd female through oen of the broken window the smoke was seeping into and produced his trunk, tapping it with hsi wand to expand it and he had pushed her inside of the trunk and he joiend her, closing it shut.

The S-types wouldn't think twice about a trunk in an banonded house so ti wa sthe perfect cover as the costumed girl looked confused as her saviour's appearance was one that hid hsi idenitity. "You're lucky I was en route and heard you." harold said and walked down teh stairs inside as she had no chocie but to follow.

"Don'y worry, your new friends won't locate us, I've lived this way for some time and they never check for old worn out stuff." Harold said and pulled his hat off, revealign his messy black ahir and green eyes. "Now, what brings a fugutive like yourself to this neck of the woods?" Harold asked her.

-Chicago, Illinois-

Shotaro placed hsi hat upon a hanger and sat in his chair, leaning back."Not much to report really, it doesn't help commuication is broken up and that the NWO is watching for any holes, especially if they are monitoring and screening mail or phone calls." SHotaro said witha sigh.

 

~London, England~

The Vikavolt-S swarm that hounded Kimberly were soon halted when some balls was thrown and their vision was temporarily obscured by smoke, the lightning-quick speed of the insect-like S-Types allowed them to fly up and around the affected area. Some of the swarm was able to catch a brief glimpse of a man taking Kimberly inside a building. Once they reassembled above in the air, they looked at one another making somewhat metallic big noises and flew away from the area into the night sky. As they were flying away the scene, they didn't detect four people who were observing them from a rooftop near their flight path. These four were female as indicated by their body shapes although they were covered in black leather from head to toe, their eyes covered by a pair of blue-lensed goggles. The four females observed the Vikavolt-S swarm flying towards an odd palace in the distance that was seemingly covered by not only New World Order flags but also with crystals as the building had a dark, foreboding look to it.

One of the girls was leaning out watching as the S-Types flew into the building before she whispered. "Hikaru, did you see that?" Another of the girls turned to face the one that spoke before nodding whispering. "Yes I did Kairi, we all did." Another girl raised her hand to her face as she remarked. "The S-Types gather into the night, once done with their task they return to their nest to rest and feast." Another girl looked at the one who made the rather poetic remark before mentioning. "Izumi, that's not just a nest....that's the Palace of the Queen of England..." She then turned her direction towards the Palace. "...but it's all distorted and weird, gives me a bad feeling that crawls up my spine." Izumi looked at the girl with a smirk under her mask asking as she placed her hands on her friend. "Aww, is little Ryoko afraid of the creepy crawly bugs?" Ryoko jerked away from Izumi before shaking her head. "Damn it, no! I am not afraid of the S-Types, it's just that eyesore that concerns me." Kairi started to walk back towards the edge of the building giggling at Ryoko's flustered look telling the three. "Come on, we should head back. Kai is going to want to hear this and Mom's probably worried we'll be shot by Stormtroopers." The three nodded and proceeded to follow Kairi as they climbed down the building they were on and went into the shadows.


~London: Buckingham Palace~

The Vikavolt-S flew into the palace and into the navy and gold colored halls that were aligned with decorative crystals that hung from the ceiling and black banners that hung proudly displaying the symbol of the New World Order on them. They soon arrived within the rather large and long Throne Room where a short lilac-skinned creature clad in orange garb that matched the round spot on his horned head was waiting for them as he sat patiently. The being's eyes were on the Vikavolt-S as they were speaking in their insect tongues, he soon jolted forward in shock before asking in an English accent. "What did you say you saw?" The S-Types soon spoke again explaining their encounter with Kimberly and the odd man that had shown up. This made the being stand up with a look of sharp force in his eyes. "This rebellion shall not be allowed to go unnoticed! You soldiers have done what you could so take a reprieve for now." The Vikavolt-S swarm flew away to recover from their earlier encounter while the being walked to a computer terminal that was located in the room next over from the Throne that had the New World Order symbol on the screen.

The being pressed a button causing the communication channels to open up before announcing rather regally. "To all Stormtroopers and Cybermen in the area, this is Lord Chilled, ruler and S-Type Elite under command of Astral Praenunitus. I have just received word from my S-Type friends that they have found a woman in an all pink ninja ensemble running the streets of London that possibly matches up to one Kimberly Ann Hart, they were unable to apprehend her due to the interference of a young male rapscallion in a brown longcoat with matching hat and a red scarf. These same S-Type soldiers have also witnessed them going into an abandoned building using devices such as smoke bombs and distractions so be advised if you see any suspicious activities during your checks. So raise your patrols and checks to make sure that both Miss Hart and that Rapscallion that took her pay dearly for their rebellion towards the New World Order. That is all and Glory to the New World Order."


~Space Station: Transporter Room~

Peppy walked up to Mario and Luigi before pulling out two handheld devices from his pockets, one red and one green and handed them to the brothers. "Before you all go, Elvin wanted me to give these to you." Mario and Luigi each took the devices and opened the clamshell up revealing that the inside resembled that of a Nintendo 3DS with two screens, four face buttons, two screens, a circle pad, and a plus-shaped control pad. "This is the newest version of the S-Type radar software, it runs on a modified 3DS handheld system that was built from the ground up." Mario and Luigi were still looking at them before Luigi asked. "Can it still play games?" Peppy looked at the brother in green before mentioning. "Yes, but due to the modified hardware in order to make sure the New World Order cannot track you, the Wifi was taken out and replaced with a modified GPS system in order to track the S-Types." The brothers put the 3DSes in their pockets as Mario said. "Tell Gadd and his friends that we thank them and we will use these accordingly."


~Abandoned Japanese Military Base~

"Well..." Jumpman started as he looked at everyone out eating their dishes of food. "...when you've acquired the culinary experience and was raised to believe in something, you keep that love and the belief in your heart no matter what happens to you. I never lost track of that to the point where the business that my wife and I invested in stayed the same for years even with mounting pressure from these corporations. Those words were also the last words that my father told us that cold and rainy day as he took his last breath on this world..." Jumpman looked at his gloved hands trying to remain firm as a small tear formed in one of his blue eyes, he wiped it away as he said. "...he died a hero protecting us and our children from what we had seen." Jumpman looked at Sycamore and simply nodded. "We might be refugees running from a twisted government, but as a hero of justice...I believe that we are all still us." Jumpman then turned to face Rei and calmly said. "If your friend is just like my son Mario, then she will be alright in that school." Jumpman's thought was soon interrupted when a woman with long brown hair and blue eyes clad in a red dress walked up to the table and looked at everyone with her rounded face that looked akin to that of Peach yelling at Jumpman. "Dear, this isn't the same Nintendo High that we met at all those years ago. This is a twisted version ran by those New World Order scumbags who are going to brainwash the children into a belief that's not right." Jumpman turned to face his wife and said. "Fujiko, I know how you feel and I know you want to fight but this girl is worried for her friend, see she's all alone in Nintendo High because those that she knows are criminals and are running around the world much like our own children are right now. It can be problematic." Fujiko turned towards Rei and quietly bowed. "Then I apologize for my loud outburst."​

 

~ Aether Foundation ~

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Umbridge." Lusamine nodded, turning to Leon who was tending to a small boy. "Young Leon over here has been a great help, as well. He's been competing in races and using the money to help keep these people sheltered. The children are especially fond of him." The feline teen finished his task and smiled. "I appreciate it, Miss Lusamine." Leon spoke. "Now if you'll excuse me, I actually have a race to compete in today. It's a big cash prize if I win. These people will eat like lords for the next few weeks if I can pull it off." Regarding Umbridge and the others with a polite nod, Leon left.

"Now then..." Lusamine spoke up, turning to Gladion. "Gladion, have you seen Lillie around?"

~ Energyne CEO's Office ~

After her press conference was over, Claire escaped to the privacy of her office. After taking a seat and resting for a moment, she decided to give her Crystal Order allies a call. The top secret project she had spent the past few months working on was close to completion...

~ Corleone Residence ~

Turning around, Mileena smiled at her visitor. Ezio had seen her without her veil before, so she felt comfortable not wearing it in front of him. Working for Vito had been a much more positive experience than Mileena expected. He and Ezio were much, much kinder to her than her old boss, Shao Kahn, had ever been. And while she was much too nervous to say anything, Mileena found herself developing feelings for Ezio. He'd always treated her so well.

"Thank you, Ezio. I've just finished getting ready, so I'm ready to see him."

~ Glomgold's Ship ~

"Here I am!" Glomgold came into the room, greeting the Taco Bell Dog. "Of course I'm a man of my word...at least to people I like!" "He joked, laughing loudly. "This is going to be an excellent expedition! I can imagine it now! Me, Flintheart Glomgold, new richest duck in the world! Ooh! Maybe with my newfound fortune and status, I can get in good with the New World Order! Maybe they'll give me ownership of Scotland! That'll really stick it to Scrooge!"

~ Abandoned Japanese Military Base ~

As everyone was busy attending to their own business, Pauline seemed to be looking for an opportunity to leave the base. "I can't just...sit here while everyone else is fighting hard. I want to help too..." She spoke to herself.

~ Nintendo High ~

"L-Loud and clear, sir." Oz spoke up. "I'm really sorry for my friend's...uh, temperament." Damien stared at the shadowy teen before grumbling. "Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry...or something."

 

~Space Station: Transport Room~

"The coordinates are set, we are ready to engage." Sheev remarked as he turned around to face Wilhelm. Wilhelm nodded before informing those who were on the pads. "We shall see what we can do about Japan and your big sister, Mario Brothers. For now it is time to head off." Sheev nodded and pressed a button on the panel nearest him causing Mario, Luigi, and the others to vanish in a flash of light.


~London, England: Soho~

Within a couple of seconds and a flash the group had appeared in some alleyway between two buildings, the starry night sky above them and the loud and bright atmosphere around them. Mario stepped forward and looked out from the alleyway. "Guys, we're not in Japan anymore..." Blanc then pulled Mario back by his overalls telling him rather sternly with her pale-blue eyes. "No duh, but you need to stay back before they catch us." Aoi was looking over some readouts from his helmet as he said. "Actually Blanc, we're in Soho. The likelihood of us being caught within a loud and chaotic party atmosphere is slim if we play our cards right." Bowser looked around the area making sure things were clear before asking. "So, where do we need to go then?" Aoi looked out onto the street and then motioned with his hand for the others to follow him.

The group walked through the streets, despite the presence of New World Order propaganda littering the walls along with screens people were still out partying and overall having a good time. The atmosphere was also different from Japan as there were plenty of odd shops and theatres dotted around the area. As they looked around Yoshi and Kirby's eyes were darting at the food shops while Luigi's eyes noticed a sign for "Les Miserables" before asking. "Why are there so many theatrical shows here?" Noire glared at Luigi with her red eyes before proclaiming. "Clearly someone doesn't understand the pagentry and culture that these people seemingly have, even the art of getting the right outfit when telling stories like this is important when dealing with the complicated subject known as theatre." Luigi looked at Noire blinking in confusion. "But I've never been to a theatre show." Mario turned to face his brother and calmly explained. "Think of theatre like you would wrestling, the guys are in the ring trying to tell a story and they're beating the crap out of each other all while potraying all kinds of characters with good guys fighting bad guys and crazy outfits." Noire looked at Mario rather surprised by his comparison before Peach pumped her fist shouting. "Yeah, he's right."

Ram and Rom noticed a store called Harmony only for the pink-garbed little girl to get confused and turned to Blanc asking. "Hey Sis, what's an adult store?" This made Blanc's eyes shot open to the point of almost losing her hat as she quickly ushered the two little girls ahead, her cheeks blushing red. "It's nothing that little girls like you two should know about, now moving on!" Vert's cheeks were red as she was giggling muttering. "Oh my, talk about awkward embarassment."

Eventually Aoi had led them to the entrance of what appeared to a small bar with a purple drape over the entrance, the name "Freedom" written in nice white cursive on it. The group soon entered into a small room with mostly black walls and a door with a neon star on it. A young redheaded woman with short hair was standing beside the door with a long naginata near her position. Aoi walked up and bowed. "Excuse me, but I am here to enter the club on behalf of my sister. You know who she is Hinoka." The woman looked Aoi over before pressing a button causing the curtains on the windows to lower to where they couldn't be seen, she looked at Aoi again before she said. "I am going to need confirmation on your identity, sorry about that...security and whatnot." Aoi sighed and undid his helmet lifting it up revealing his face to Hinoka. Hinoka stared at Aoi's face before walking up to the door and unlocked it smiling. "Welcome to Freedom." Aoi placed his helmet back on before pointing to Mario and the others. "These guys are with me as well, they're good people." Hinoka merely nodded and stepped aside. "It's all good, although some of them are awfully young to be clubbing. But that's my opinion." The group soon walked through the door before Hinoka locked it once again.


~London: Behind Freedom~

Kairi, Ryoko, Hikaru, and Izumi had managed to sneak through the shadows and approached the back of the Freedom Club building where the music was loud and blaring and neon lights illuminated the darkness. Opening the back door, the girls were in a small room with a finger scanner installed on the wall and a small camera looking at them. Kairi took off a glove exposing her hand and placed a finger on the scanner, the scanner made noise and glowed with a green light before the floor they were on began to descend down akin to an elevator.

Spoiler: Theme of the Rising Tide

The four arrived in a high-tech entryway with neon lights and the blaring music above being muffled, hologram screens were about as other girls were present with their eyes watching the situation develop from both outside in London and even inside the upper floors of the building. Izumi danced into the room and ripped off her mask exposing her long dark hair that covered one of her eyes, she approached a girl with bluish-green hair singing. "Honey, I'm hooooome!~" The girl turned towards Izumi with her blue gaze remarking. "Nice entrance as always, Izumi." Izumi smirked poking the girl's cheek. "You know how we are Dawn, we're half serious despite being on the run." Ryoko took her mask off revealing her short green hair before spotting a girl with long green hair standing next to a woman with long blonde hair. "Hey Cynthia, C.C., we're home and boy...we saw something creepy." C.C. turned around with her hand on her hip, golden eyes looking at Ryoko. "Tell me about it, Stormtroopers and Cybermen are all over the damn place." Hikaru took her mask off showing her brown hair while putting her glasses on. "But we spotted S-Types heading to Buckingham Palace," This made C.C. raise an eyebrow in curiousity. "S-Types at Buckingham Palace?" Kairi took off her own mask letting her red hair out explaining. "Yup, a bunch of bugs flying about like they were lightning. Ryoko also said the Palace looked distorted and I have to agree with her." C.C. nodded. "Alright, go and take a rest. We'll sort what we know later." The girls nodded and soon walked into one of the changing rooms. Cynthia turned towards C.C. thinking. "They probably were flying back to report that they found something." C.C. then added. "Or someone."


~Abandoned Japanese Military Base~

As Pauline was looking around, a male akin to Luigi in shape walked up to her, his purple shirt and blue overalls being a contrast to Jumpman's golden-yellow. The male looked at Pauline placing a hand on her shoulder and said. "As your Uncle, I see that you're troubled." He then looked at Jumpman and Fujiko remarking. "It seems like my brother and his wife are also bothered by the recent events too." A being soon appeared behind the man with a black body and looking akin to a puppet with a white mask. "Ruiji, everyone is troubled...all because of the New World Order." Ruiji looked at the S-Type explaining. "Yes, and my nephews are out trying to do their best to fight...still..."​

 

-London, England - Magical Trunk-

Recovering from everything that happened during the fight and seeing her rescuer reveal himself, Kimberly nodded, lowering her hood and mask, revealing the rest of her face and her long brown hair. She breathed in relief, rubbing her hair.



"Thanks for the save back there." Kimberly said, looking at him. "I've been here since November, ever since the 'Great Purge'......." She looked away and down, worried about her companions before looking at him. "You look familiar, have we met somewhere before? That hair and eyes just seem familiar to me."



-San Diego, California-

Entering a forest and heading to a skeleton of dinosaur head, Thomas pulled on the jawbone and a door opened, the two of them entered and ended up in a lab with a keyboard and several monitors. Lowering their hoods and masks, Tommy went and sat at the computer, typing on it and the monitors changed to several locations within the city, showing the different activities in the city.



"Hard to believe it's only been a few months since the world changed like this." Tommy said, sighing and covering his face with his hand. Thomas looked at his brother, and looked away. "Yeah, the mighty warriors of Zordon are scattered and on the run cause a bunch of psychos think fighting for good is bad and turning the world is a modern worldwide version of Nazi Germany is the best idea."



-Sydney, Australia-

Dressed as a worn-out adventurer, Fang wandered the city of Sydney, keeping out of sight and keeping to herself so she wouldn't be caught by the Stormtroopers or Cybermen, her red spear was wrapped in a white cloth and hung on her back. She looked at the sky and thought, 'Wonder what Vanille's doing.'



-Minnepolis-St. Paul, Minnesota-

Arriving at the base in the Twin Cities, Takeru shook off the snow and rubbed himself, getting a cup of hot chocolate. 'I knew Japan got cold, but not this cold.' Takeru thought, feeling warmer with each sip. 'I guess the Cybermen and Stormtroopers have special suits to keep them warm in weather like this.' He took out his Ore Eyecon and held it tightly.



-Chicago, Illinois-

Philip and Shelby walked, rather Philip walked from his spot in the base while Shelby followed curiously. They saw that Billy and Shotaro had returned, Billy going to work on something with Kendall. "Shotaro, Billy, you're back." He said, closing his book and looked at them. Shelby waved, "Welcome back." Billy waved and Kendall didn't look at Shelby as she looked at blueprints.



-Tucson, Arizona-

"I forgot how hot it gets here, even in the winter months." Gou said to himself, wiping his brow while Hikaru read a recent letter from Harley and thought about her next upgrade for Drive. Krim had his screen turned off, resting while the two kept to themselves.



-Cairo, Egypt-

The two hid in a abandoned warehouse and Eiji breathed, Ankh just crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, thinking about the whole situation that had happened so far and sighed, groaning.



-Gokai Galleon-

While the others talked about what to do, Joe just finished up his push-ups and wondered when they'll be heading off. He went to the kitchen to check their food supply and got a cup of water, heading down to the bedrooms. He stopped by Emma's room and left the cup for her in case she needed it.



-Arendelle-

Wandering the snowy kingdom, wearing winter attire that he had bought with some money Elsa had given him, Jecht looked at the castle and hoped the queen and princess were alright. He was worried the most about Elsa but she told him not to worry about her and gave him some money to fend for himself. He sighed, 'She doesn't have to act brave just to protect her and her sister.'

 

~Freedom: Club Area~

Inside was a rather large and loud dancing area with comfy chairs and tables placed about, neon lights strobed the floors as some people danced about on floors and on poles. On the right hand side was a bar where some people were seemingly already drunk and passed out on the floor. Aoi looked at Mario telling him. "You should come with me, the rest of you can go look around and enjoy yourselves." With that the group split up as Aoi and Mario went to the bar.

The bar area was much akin to to dancing area as it was bright and neon-colored, the music was less loud than it was in the other area. The two males soon plopped themselves on a pair of barstools before Mario raised a finger looking at the girls behind the counter. "Excuse me, Baristas?" The girls looked at Mario and Aoi before one of them, a girl with short brown hair walked up and bowed. "Hello gentlemen, welcome to the Freedom Bar. How may I serve you?" Aoi looked at the woman before he said. "We are not in need of any drinks right now, but I am Aoi Kazue." the armored man motioned his hand towards Mario. "And this is my friend Mario, we are here to see my sister Saki." The woman nodded with a finger on her chin. "I see...a strange card came in here addressed to someone named Mario along with someone named Luigi." Mario's eyebrow raised before he asked."A card came for Luigi and I? Can I see it miss?" The brunette nodded before walking over to the counter behind her and grabbed a red envelope, she then returned and handed it to Mario. Aoi stood still, his mind racing as he thought. "Oh no, did they find out about Mario and Luigi already?" Mario opened the envelope and pulled out a red and black card with an odd design on it. Aoi was suspicious as Mario read the card.

Spoiler: What Mario was reading

"Dear Mario Brothers"

"Your actions in Japan have brought forth a huge shift in change that has led all of us to the point that the meaning of Justice is seemingly lost to the void, you two are being charged for your neglect of dealing with the New World Order's rise. You two are to meet up with us up on the roof of the Queens Theatre in order to explain yourselves or else you will confess your crimes to the public when we take your hearts."

"Signed, The Phantom Thieves"

Mario was really confused before muttering. "Take mine and Luigi's hearts? Are they trying to kill us!?" Aoi sternly looked at Mario before he said. "These Phantom Thieves could be trouble, we know nothing about them and they're already targeting you and Luigi." The brunette girl was still looking at them, specifically Mario in thought as she said. "I heard it had something to do with the S-Types that were wandering around." Their conversation was interrupted when Aoi was hugged by a young redheaded teenage girl who looked like she had just finished manning a DJ booth, she raised her goggles looking at Aoi with both natural and artificial blue eyes smiling happily. "Brother, you came to visit me?" Aoi looked at her and nodded. "Yeah, but I am here on business unfortunately. My boss is in need of you and your Nakama's assistance." Mario leaned over and waved. "Hello Miss Kazue." The girl looked at Mario before scoffing. "Mario, just call me Kai. I don't need any of that honorific crap. I'm just a normal person like you and my brother." Aoi then asked. "Is it possible for us to meet with the others?" Kai looked at Aoi before whispering. "I sent a few of my friends out on recon, they're probably back my now so we can have a meeting." Mario then walked up to Kai asking. "I have some business to attend to, is there any way I can get to the meeting if I run late?" Kai looked at Mario before she said. "We can wait on you, we're in no hurry if there is something you need to attend to. Just head out the same door you all came in and when you come back tell Hinoka that you need to see me, she will know what to do from there." Mario nodded before getting off the barstool. "Okay, thanks Kai." Mario soon ran off with Kai shouting. "Don't mention it!" she then looked at Aoi and whispered. "If you brought anyone else with you, you should gather them up." Aoi stood up and nodded as the two siblings went back into the club area.

As they left the area, a girl with platinum-blonde hair that was tied in a pair of ponytails approached the brunette and looked out at Kai and Aoi before she mentioned. "Huh, seems like that Mario guy isn't fully aware of everything, especially when he reacted to the card." The brunette looked at the blonde seemingly hesitant as she mentioned. "Yeah, they're unaware of who the Phantom Thieves are...we should get ready ourselves, Panther." The blonde smirked. "Alright Queen."


~Under Freedom: Rising Tide Base~

After having changed into normal clothes and out of the sneaking outfits, Kairi had went off into the nearby hallway that housed the sleeping quarters of each of the members of the group. She politely approached one of he doors and knocked on it asking. "Hey Nami-chan? It's Kairi, I'm back from my mission and wanted to see if you were doing alright."​

 

-London, England, Magical Trunk-

Harold heard teh question and thrown his hat onto onto of the hangers. "That depends on where you recall seeing me, but for now, your outfit is compromised and no doubt those S-Types are going to blacklist that look." Harold said, arms crossed. "Oh don't worry, I'm one of the rebels that don't appercirate this new order the world's in, I started going into hiding just when all of this was in its earliest stages and thank goodness my gut was right." Harold saiid gratefully.

"So, what do you have on you right?" Harold asked and listened, basically she ahd little money and the clothes she wore right now were all she had, no doubt she was a late fugutive who couldn't get prepared in time. "Well, we'll wait here for maybe thrirty minutes or so as I wnat to wait until the I'm certain those S-types are gone then I'll head out again, I need to check on a rumor of a Cybermen factory and see what goes into making one since it's a well kept secret, hopefulyl it'll give some intel I can share with fellow rebels." harold said and saw Kimberly have a look of where they are.

"This is my home away from home, it's how I avoided going through checkpoints without any pass or tickets sinc enobody looks twice at luggage, you are in a magiclaly expanded trunk that is modelled after a home, personal use though, it saves setting up a tent and a campfire, now if you want to join me in my recon, that's fine but you'll have to follow my orders and stick close to me, as for a change of clothes..." Harold point down a hallway.

"Go down that hallway, second door on the left, there's room full of clothes my size, I am not sure if anything will fit you but it's better than sticking to what you got on at this point." Harold said and he got a nod as she begun to walk. "Harold." Harodl said and heard a huh. "My name, I'll be waiting here." Harold said and let Kimberly go on her way and he he looked to his own gear, he waved his wand and transfigured the garments to be a black brown robe that travellers would wear, no doubt the previous appearance was compromsied, then again, he never took any risks and went over to the small box, unlockign it and openign it, reveallign tobe the parchment that was with a two way commuciation with Elsa.

"Hmmm, I wonder... This was done before the iplementation of NWO screening mail or animal post.... Maybe... it wortha try." Harold thought and got some ink and a feathery quill, dipping it in and wondered what to write before beginning to do so.

"Dear Elsa, I know it has been months since we last commuicated during your 'kidnapping' unfortnately, circumstances along with I am sure, your role as royalty kept you busy, I am currently investigating on a rumor for those who do not approve of the world's state changing, I would say do not worry about my safety for I have managed quite well on my own since the signs things were changing but I would naturally assume when you read up this point, you are. How is your lifeat home? I can't imagine it's any better anywhere else in the world, do not hesitate to tell me of your concerns, right now, allies and confidants are something we need in these desperates times, please send my best wishes to your dearest sister Anna as well." Harold finsihed writing as teh parchment held the words for a moment before sinking into iit to appear on Elsa's own parchment.

Sketching in her sketchbook, Namine stopped when she heard Kairi's voice. She closed her sketchbook, saying, "Yes, I'm fine, Kairi. You can come in. The door is unlocked."



-Narumi Detective Agency-

While waiting for Hermione to be done at school for the day, Sakura sipped some coffee that she had brewed while Hinako and Seki just relaxed and Koyomi rested on the bed in the room. While during the tyrant rule of the NWO, there was no more need to have detectives or police, but since the agency wasn't that well-known, it was spared. The three left the investigation room for Hermione since it held a lot of memories for her. Sakura pondered about teaching her to fight but felt her true strength was in her knowledge and intelligence.



-London, England - Magical Trunk-

Undressing from the Ninjetti grab she had, Kimberly stretched, then folded her Ninjetti clothes in a neat pile before picking out new clothes to wear. Choosing a loose white shirt, a brown worn traveling coat, black pants and dark brown boots, Kimberly got dressed and put her hair into a braid. All the while, she thought the person who she thought Harold looked like, a student at the school named Harry and used the unique lock device, oddly having the acorn. Finishing up as she wrapped a long scarf around her neck to cover her mouth, she stepped out, carrying her Ninjetti clothes and walked to Harold.

Philip looked at her curious about what she and Kendall hide by having their necklaces tucked into their shirts. He went to research, Shelby asked, "What are you doing?" "Something has sparked my interest." Philip said, smiling. Shelby asked Shotaro, "Should we be worried?"



-Arendelle-

Seeing Harold's message appear on the parchment between them, Elsa smiled and wrote back to him, 'Dear Harold. Things haven't been the best since we last met. Not only have my royal duties kept me busy, ever since the world changed, Anna and I have basically become trapped in the castle because Hans who has changed drastically would notice if one of us left the castle. Luckily, he doesn't know about this so we can talk safely together. I hope we can talk more soon. Knowing you're safe when the world is no longer a safe place gives me a warm feeling.' She finished and watched the message disappear to Harold's parchment.



-Ishtar Apartment-

Akiza, who had left the school, sat with Isizhu and Marik, the three kept quiet, thinking on the changes that had come upon the world since everything had happened, Akiza sighed and hoped any students who remained at the school were alright. Marik thought about what they should do.



-Abandoned Japanese Military Base-

The rest of the Sailor Scouts had come to the base, all pulling out of the school and helping around the base. Lita helped with the cooks and giving food to others, Mina cheered up the children who while Ami studied with some of those who were professors or teacher. Haruka and Michiru sat together while Setsuna helped some of the workers, as Hotaru sat with them, petting Artemis. Kengo carried Chibi Chibi, wondering about everyone who was out in the world.



-Kyoto-

Leaving the Capital, Akira and Shintaro took Michal to Kyoto. Shintaro did worry about Kiriko since with the establishment of the NWO, he and Kiriko were out of the job with no need for officers or any law enforcement. Michal was worried for him and Akira since Akira pulled him out of the school and became a wandering doctor with Michal and Shintaro. The three stayed in a apartment and hid their faces when they headed out.
