~Scotland~ “Thank you again for your hospitality, Fergus,” Governor Demande thanked Fergus after he gave the regional governor a tour of his town. “Ah, the pleasure’s all mine,” Fergus replied, continuing to fake a smile in front of Demande. “Anyway, I really should get going,” Demande told Fergus as they walked past the Old Forge. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Island in the Pacific Ocean~ Getting up after relaxing from their battle with the Demon Tide, Moana and Maui noticed more Shadows appear behind them… “Oh, come on!” Moana complained as she and Maui got their Keyblades ready for what appeared to be another battle with these monsters. However, just then, the Shadows were decimated by a strong Thundaga attack from above. “What the…?” Maui wondered out loud, as he was certain neither he nor Moana were behind the Thundaga attack. But as they looked across the distance, Moana and Maui noticed many boats docked on the coast, as well as many people with Keyblades walking in their direction. Looking closely, Moana noticed the people were in fact the people from her home of Destiny Islands, including her own parents… Spoiler: BGM “Mom, Dad!” Moana gleefully cried as she rushed towards her parents. “Moana!” Sina happily cried as she ran towards Moana, with the two sharing a hug. “I missed you,” Moana told her mother. “I missed you as well,” Sina replied, “And so did your father.” As Moana shifted her focus towards her father, Tui, Moana noticed he was looking at her with a stern look on his face, which Moana understood given what happened the last time they spoke. Slowly walking towards him, Moana said, “Father… I… I’m sorry. Please, forgive me.” Sighing, Tui’s frown turned upside as he hugged Moana, surprising her. “All that matters, Moana, is that you are alright,” Tui told his daughter, who happily hugged him back. Just then, Moana heard the sound of a pig and rooster coming her way. Looking around, Moana noticed her pets, Pua and Heihei, arrive as well… “Pua! Heihei! You two came as well!” a surprised Moana happily cried as she grabbed Pua and Heihei, giving them a hug. Meanwhile, Maui slowly approached everyone, greeting Tui with a bow, saying, “Chief Tui. Welcome.” “Maui, good to see you again,” Tui replied. “I don’t understand, why did you all come here?” Moana asked. Sighing, Tui replied, “We need to talk.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Arendelle~ “Put the sword down right now, Rider!” Larxene threatened Tsukasa, pointing her Foudre Knives in his direction as she was joined by Cybermen and Stormtroopers, all pointing their weapons at the Rider. Meanwhile, Hans was signaling the frightened citizens to back away… “Stand back everyone. We’ve got this situation under control,” Hans assured the citizens as they backed away. “You know, I gotta say, I’ve always wanted to come face-to-face with a Rider,” Larxene told Tsukasa, “But achieving that was a bit difficult, what with almost all of you Riders getting killed off during the Great Purge. Either way, I think I’m gonna enjoy adding another casualty to the list of deceased Riders.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Arendelle, Norway - Castle~ Before anyone could say another word, Saphir and the others heard commotion coming from outside. “Huh? What was that?” Olaf wondered out loud. Just then, Saphir noticed two Stormtroopers running towards them… “Stormtroopers, what’s going on?” Saphir questioned the Stormtroopers. “A Rider has appeared outside,” one of the Stormtroopers responded. “The Inquisitor is now dealing with him as we speak,” the other Stormtrooper added. “A Rider?!” Saphir and Olaf both wondered out loud at the same time. “We need to take you, Elsa, and Anna to a secure room in the floor above for your own protection,” one of the Stormtroopers responded. “Uh, in that case, let me go get Anna,” Olaf said as he rushed towards her room. “I’ll join you,” one of the Stormtroopers told Olaf, following the snowman. “And I’ll be in charge of you two,” the other Stormtrooper told Elsa and Saphir, “Follow me.” “Alright,” Saphir replied, following the Stormtrooper as he held on to Elsa’s hand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~English Countryside~ Noticing the TIE Fighters slow down due to the rain while they continued to fire (unsuccessfully) at the tank, Bellatrix facepalmed as she complained to herself, “Do I have to do everything myself?!” Flying close to the tank, Bellatrix took out her wand, pointed it somewhere ahead of the tank’s path. Flicking her wand, Bellatrix summoned a cliff that rose from the ground, hoping the tank would crash into it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Kyoto, Japan - Park~ As Amanda and the others continued battling, the Stormtroopers resorted to using the power of the pins embedded in their armor, allowing them to shoot fireballs at the Rebels and summoning sharp icicles to rise from the ground near them. Arriving to the scene, Coulson used the blaster he got from a dead Stormtrooper to shoot at the Stormtroopers that Amanda and the others were battling… “Where are the others?” Ursula questioned Coulson. “Told them to get to safety while keeping the rod safe,” Phil replied. But as the battle continued, the Rebels noticed two TIE Fighters flying high above them, going towards the other side of the park, the exact place where Akko and the others were. “That can’t be good…” Amanda commented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Kyoto, Japan - Park (Again)~ As Akko and the others continued running, they heard the sound of TIE Fighters descending towards them. “Oh no!” Lotte cried as she and the others noticed two TIE Fighters getting close to them. “Let’s get on our brooms! Hopefully we can get away from them that way!” Akko ordered the others, who got on their broomsticks and began flying. Jasminka, however, who was carrying the tied up Diana with her, tripped as she got out her broomstick, dropping Diana (and allowing her to break free). Now that she was free, Diana began waving her arms to the TIE Fighters, crying, “HELP! I’VE BEEN ABDUCTED BY THESE REBELS! SAVE ME!!” One of the TIE Fighters, however, mistook her for a Rebel, and began firing towards Diana. Gasping, Diana didn’t know what to do. Luckily for her, Jasminka jumped and pushed her out of the way, saving her life. As the TIE Fighter rejoined the other TIE Fighter in chasing after Akko, Sucy, and Lotte, Diana was sitting on the ground, shocked by what had just happened. “They shot me… they tried to kill me!” a horrified Diana cried, “I knew getting tied up with you Rebels was gonna ruin my life!” Sighing, Jasminka was hoping Diana would at least thank her for saving her life, but she figured this was the best response she could hope for from Diana. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Somewhere in Sub-Sahara Africa - Outside Rebel Base~ Waiting outside, T'Challa watched as the Royal Talon Flyer began descending near the base after disabling its invisibility mode. Once the aircraft gently landed, its ramp opened up, and out came Shuri, happy to see her brother… “Shuri, welcome back,” T'Challa greeted his sister as the two shared a hug, “What news do you bring from Japan?” “Everyone sends their regards,” Shuri replied as the two started walking back to the base, “I may have also come across a possible solution that could potentially end the Cybermen threat once and for all. However, I may need more time to study it. What about you, what news do you have?” “I have been speaking with Zuri, and I have decided to go through the coronation ceremony,” T'Challa answered, “I will not continue being the Black Panther until I feel like I have truly earned it.” “Suit yourself, brother,” Shuri said, “Either way, I know I will be busy here. I have heard about what happened in Congo. You guys will need my help.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital - Police HQ (Conference Room)~ “Alright. Now follow me to the shooting range so you two can test out your Police Ranger abilities,” Vanitas told Looker and Kiriko as he and the Stormtroopers accompanying him left the conference room. “Meeting adjourned, everyone,” Looker told the officers in the conference room as he followed Vanitas. “Hmm, would’ve really liked to try out being a Police Ranger,” Eppes commented as he got out of his seat, “Oh well, maybe if they expand the program, I might get lucky.” “Eh, I ain’t really diggin’ it,” Carter replied to Don as he got out of his seat as well, “I’m more of an old-school type of guy. But hey, whatever floats your boat, man.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Capital - Hospital (14th Floor)~ Frank Castle, the man who has been shooting local gang members (and had just recently attacked the Corleone household), had snuck into the hospital where a survivor of one of his attacks was being treated. Frank wasn’t going to stop until he took out his target. Noticing Frank was carrying a shotgun, a security guard in the hallway tried to stop him. Castle, however, easily grabbed the security guard’s gun, knocking him out while taking out the ammo from the guard’s gun, and throwing the gun away in a trash can. Those in the hallway began to panic as they saw what happened. Meanwhile, in one of the rooms on the 14th floor, Doctor Hu was busy treating the very man Castle wanted to kill when he heard commotion outside… Noticing his patient begin to panic, Hu tried calming him down, saying, “Shh! Don’t move.” Walking towards the door, Doctor Hu peeked outside, and noticed Frank Castle in the hallway with a shotgun. “Oh no!” Doctor Hu cried as he rushed to his patient, “Come on! We have to get out of here!” Helping his patient out of the bed, Doctor Hu quickly led his patient out of the room, running away from Castle. But Castle, however, pointed his shotgun at Hu’s patient, pulling the trigger several times, but missing as he hit the wall or other objects instead of his target, causing many in the hallway to scream in terror. Eventually, Hu and his patient reached the emergency exit, and rushed down the stairs in order to get out of danger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ “Hey Nick, I’m gonna go with Baymax and see if Clemont needs help with whatever he’s working on,” Hiro told Nick. “Alright,” Fury responded as Hiro and Baymax walked away. Turning his attention back to Serena, Fury replied to her, “Yeah, well, that’s the world we live in now. All we can do now is fight back. That’s why we all joined the Rebels.” “There you are, Serena,” Darien said as he and Rini approached Serena and Nick… “Rini and I wondered where you wandered off,” Darien continued, “I see you met Nick.” “Yeah, we had a nice little chat just now,” Fury responded, “I can see why you like her so much.” Blushing after hearing what Fury just said, Darien cried, “Seriously, Nick?!” Fury didn’t say a word in response, simply chuckling as he patted Darien on his shoulder, walking away. As Darien sighed, he told Serena, “Sorry about Nick. But anyway, funny story… after you left Rini and I alone with Connor, Rini told Connor that she wanted to join him on his worldwide trip.” “Can we go?” Rini asked Serena, “I have friends who are going. I wanna be with them!” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Militia Base in a Cave - Outskirts of Upington, South Africa~ “This is the message I was sent,” Saw told Jyn as he grabbed a piece of paper from a table, handing it to Jyn to read. Jyn then began reading the message, tearing up after recognizing the handwriting, as she knew this was definitely from her father… Spoiler: Galen Erso's Message Saw, if you’re reading this, then perhaps there is a chance to save the Alliance. Perhaps there’s a chance to explain myself and, though I don’t dare hope for too much, a chance for Jyn, if she’s alive, if you can possibly find her to let her know that my love for her has never faded and how desperately I’ve missed her. Jyn, my Stardust, I can’t imagine what you think of me. When I was taken, I faced some bitter truths. I was told that, soon enough, Krennic would have you killed. As time went by, I knew that you were either dead or still in that labor camp. I knew if I refused to work, if I took my own life, it would only be a matter of time before Krennic realized he no longer needed me to complete the project. So I did the one thing that nobody expected: I lied. I learned to lie. I played the part of a beaten man resigned to the sanctuary of his work. I made myself indispensable, and all the while I laid the groundwork of my revenge. There are three S-types that the New World Order is enhancing to turn them into superweapons. One is called Smaug, with the ability to destroy from the sky. The second is called the Kraken, with the ability to destroy from the sea. And lastly, there is Lavos, nicknamed the “Death Star”, with the ability to destroy from land. The day is coming soon when these three will be unleashed. I’ve placed weak points deep within them. Flaws that are so small and powerful, they’ll never find it. One blast to any part of a weak point will destroy the S-type. Jyn, if you’re reading, my beloved... I try to think of you only in the moments when I’m strong, because the pain of not having you with me, your late mother, our family... the pain of that loss is so overwhelming I risk failing even now. It’s just so hard not to think of you. Think of where you are. My Stardust. You’ll need the plans, detailing where the weak points on those three S-types are located. There is an archive in the data vault at the Citadel Tower on the island of Scarif in the Maldives- However, before Jyn could continue reading her father’s message, the entire place shook, causing Jyn to drop the piece of paper she was just reading. “What happened?” Jyn questioned as Saw went to see what was happening outside. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flashback: Three Weeks Ago - Nibelheim, New Mexico~ Boss Battle: Kylo Ren Solo ~The One-Winged Angel~ Spoiler: BGM View attachment 50058 Rushing towards Kylo Ren, Finn and Kanan were surprised to see Solo calmly walk towards them. But once they reached him and delivered a slash with their Keyblades, Kanan and Finn were surprised to see Kylo Ren teleport away. Moments later, Kylo Ren teleported above them, landing while thrusting his Keyblade hard to the ground, delivering a shockwave that sent Kanan and Finn flying. Once the two landed on the ground, they were careful not to roll towards one of the town’s burning buildings. “Woah, that was close,” Kanan commented as he helped Finn up. Once they were up, the two suddenly noticed Kylo Ren arrive near their location. Kylo Ren then began swinging his Keyblade at them, with Kanan and Finn trying hard to deflect the attacks from their former ally. With a burning building behind them, and the fear of Kylo Ren sending them flying towards it, Kanan and Finn jumped over Kylo Ren, while deflecting any slashes he made with his Keybalde. Landing on the ground and turning to face Kylo Ren, Kanan and Finn noticed Kylo Ren summoning three flame pillars that surrounded the three, making things much more difficult for them as Solo rushed towards them, swinging his Keybalde effortlessly while Kanan and Finn tried hard to deflect incoming attacks and avoid getting sucked into one of the flame pillars. Once the pillars died out, Kanan and Finn noticed this was their chance to back away a bit. But once they did back away, they could tell Kylo Ren was not done with them, noticing that he summoned several dark orbs that flew towards Kanan and Finn. The duo began swinging their Keyblades at the dark orbs, destroying them before they could hit them. However, one of the dark orbs hit Finn, knocking him out. “Finn!” Kanan cried as he rushed to his friend’s side. But as he helped Finn get up, Kanan noticed Kylo Ren floating into the air. Solo then summoned many meteors, sending them towards Kanan and Finn. The two then began to run away as the meteors landed all around them, trying to avoid getting hit by them. Eventually, one meteor hit close to the two, sending them flying and landing hard on the ground. Kylo Ren then teleported close to Finn, and got ready to impale him with his Keyblade. Noticing what Kylo Ren was about to do, Kanan quickly rushed to the scene as he yelled, “NOOOOO!!!!” Using his Keyblade, Kanan blocked Kylo Ren from impaling Finn. As Kanan glared at Kylo’s emotionless face, the two began to duel one-on-one, each trying to land an attack with his Keybalde. Slowly opening his eyes, Finn noticed Kanan and Kylo Ren battling each other, and tried getting up in order to help Kanan. But as the two dueled, Kylo Ren and Kanan locked their Keyblades against each other. Kanan hoped that this would be his opportunity to finally gain the upper hand against Kylo Ren. Kylo, however, summoned a flaming pillar near Finn’s location so that Kanan would be distracted. “Woah!” Finn cried as he noticed the flaming pillar near him. “Finn!” Kanan cried as he turned around to check on his friend. But it was a mistake, and Kylo’s distraction worked. Kylo Ren impaled Kanan from behind with his Keyblade, severely wounding him. “KANAN!” Finn cried as he saw what happened to his best friend. Kylo Ren then threw Kanan towards Finn, and used his Keybalde to summon a whirlwind to send Kanan and Finn flying towards one of the burning buildings in Nibelheim. Believing the two were now dead, Kylo Ren stared at the building where he sent the two, and slowly turned around, walking away from the scene. Unbeknownst to Kylo Ren, the two were in fact not dead yet, but unless they did something soon, they would be. Finn and the badly wounded Kanan landed in a room of a burning building that had yet to be engulfed by flames. But the fire was beginning to spread to the room, and that was something Finn realized as got up and saw right in front of him. Grabbing his wounded friend and carrying him, Finn said, “Don’t worry, Kanan, I’ll get us out of this!” Noticing a small window, Finn took a deep breath, and ran towards it, jumping through the window and breaking the glass as he landed back outside in the burning town. Getting up, Finn told his friend, “You hang in there, Kanan. I’ll get you some help.” Finn then proceeded to run away from Nibelheim while carrying Kanan, wanting to go somewhere safe where he hoped someone would be able to tend to Kanan’s wound. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Castelia City, New York - The Playground: Jeffrey Mace's Office~ Jeffrey and Shining Armor were having a conference call with Melinda May (who was still in Chicago), trying to figure out the whereabouts of Carl Creel. “He couldn't have gone far,” May’s voice commented from a phone speaker. “Why was Creel at the diner?” Shining Armor pondered out loud. “He was waiting for someone,” May responded, “We just don't know if that individual ever showed.” “Hey guys, sorry to interrupt, but I got something you might wanna check out,” Skye said as she entered the office while carrying a tablet… “Hmm, looks like someone sent us a message,” Mace commented as he analyzed what was displayed on Skye’s tablet. “A message for us with a phone number to call,” Skye replied. “Could it be a new Rebel cell in the continent?” Shining Armor wondered out loud. “Hmm… call the number,” Jeffrey ordered Skye. Doing as she was told, Skye dialed the number, adding it to the conference call Mace and Shining Armor were having with May. “Hello?” a voice from the number that was just dialed answered. “Who is this?” Shining Armor questioned. “Shining Armor, I'm glad you got my message,” the voice replied. “Wait a sec… I know that voice!” Shining Armor exclaimed as he and Skye both remembered whose voice that was, “Raina... as I live and breathe.” “It's been a while since I met you and Skye back in Toshima,” Raina responded, “So, how have you two been dealing with all this New World Order business?” “Umm, I'm kind of in the middle of a manhunt,” Shining Armor told Raina, “Can we make this quick?” “Why? You need time to trace this call, don't you?” As Shining Armor and Skye looked at each other, they both realized that Raina figured that Skye was indeed trying to trace the call. “I take it, then, you haven't tracked down Mr. Creel or the item he stole,” Raina’s voice continued. “Still chasing after the Obelisk? Or, as you call it, the Diviner?” Shining Armor asked Raina, “What was that whole thing about your destiny having to wait?” “Look, the New World Order’s gonna get their hands on the Obelisk,” Raina replied, “But let me be clear, I have no association of any kind with the New World Order, so you and your Rebel buddies have nothing to worry about when dealing with me.” “What do you want, Raina?” Shining Armor questioned. “It's what I don't want, which is the Obelisk falling into the hands of those who don't deserve it,” Raina answered. “And you think you do?” Shining Armor questioned. “Mr. Creel stole something from me,” Raina said, ignoring Shining armor’s questioned, “Fortunately for the both of us, it has an embedded tracker. But you'd better hurry. He's growing less stable by the second.” Raina then hung up, with the others expecting her to send a frequency giving them the Inquisitor’s location, while also surprised that they got unexpected help like this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Corleone Household~ Noticing the police along with ambulances arrive to the area, Ezio told Mileena, “No, just check on my uncle. Make sure he's fine. If any paramedics need to check on him, let them. I'll go talk with the police.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Abandoned Military Base in Japan - Exact Location Unknown~ Noticing the duck appear behind Spike, Discord and Celestia were surprised by its appearance, with Discord saying, “Oh, hello there. Hey Spike, is this duck a friend of yours, or is he a total stranger?”
