~Tower of Mastery: Korrina's Room~ Kai nodded to Bellec before starting to walk off telling him. "Yeah, guess I'll be checking on my friends then." ~Tower of Mastery~ "Alright then." Kairi told Lydia before walking away just wondering exactly what was up. "Yeah, quite a few of us from Nintendo High are here." Yoshi explained to Sirius with a smile before Kirby nodded. "Yeah, all students though but we have a few adults so don't freak out." As they were talking, Kairi approached the room that her cousin was in before she asked. "Hey Nami-Chan? Could you come with me? Lydia wants to see us." ~Tower of Mastery: Rounded Room~ Mario and Peach had arrived in a large, secluded round area of the tower. They were unaware that they were being followed as Peach let of Mario's hand and walked over to the other side, her blue eyes clearly on Mario as she told him. "Listen, I don't want you to go easy on me." Mario blinked looking surprised before Peach said. "I know...it's crazy." Mario smirked rubbing his nose. "Nonsense, it just means something more." Peach slowly smirked before the two rushed in at one another and slammed their fists together making a loud echoing sound. "An echoing passion." "Two fists that communiate with the heart." "The fire in the soul..." "...and the burning fury of love." Mario''s eyes widened in surprise as Peach smiled. "Show me how to speak with my fists."
~Tower of Mastery: Korrina's Room~ Kai seemingly twitched for a second before she looked at Bellec and remarked. "Well, you actually make a good argument there, doesn't entirely matter who is right since both our thoughts led to the same outcome of having less casualties. Then again you have more experience in this kind of stuff than I have." The redhead looked at Korrina and calmly said. "You remind me of some people that stood up for us back in Japan, and if it happens...atleast go out in a blaze of glory than with a whimper." Kai looked at Bellec again before she smiled. "I guess we'll go with what you said and head towards Scotland if the NWO comes back with Astral helping." ~Shalour City, France: Tower of Mastery~ "Not really..." Kairi started rubbing the back of her head looking at Lydia and her Lucario. "I got it when I was in the middle of a large battle after an incident regarding my family and friends. After that I met Kai who taught me how to use it much like one would use a sword, but...she doesn't know much about the keyblade either. My cousin Namine can apparently use it too since when she took mine it changed form and Kai and I couldn't make heads or tails of it." "Luigi, tell me something...how much do you and your brother know of that power?" C.C. asked opening her golden gaze, Luigi shook his head. "Not much, we need to master the new power and learned the transformation call for tapping into the Saint Relic without contact. Mario figured that performing the transformation immediately would arouse New World Order eyes and thus we agreed that we'd only use the power in times of absolute emergencies." C.C. nodded and smiled. "So you're newbies...cute." She stood up and looked down at Luigi. "Okay, you go on ahead and get out of here. I'm going to figure something out." Luigi nodded and quietly left the room. Yoshi and Kirby were searching for a room when they came across the transformed Sirius. The green creature's jaw dropped as he said. "Wow, it's a Fruit Rider! Kiwi kind." Kirby looked at Yoshi before smiling. "Yeah, just like those other Kamen Riders we've seen on TV." Yoshi then raised a finger. "Yes, but his armor is fruit themed, so I'm calling him a Fruit Rider." Mario eventually found Peach and walked up to the blonde asking. "Hey, do you want to head up and have a sparring session?" The blonde looked at Mario and smiled. "Sure, I mean we have nothing else better to do." The two slowly started to head further up the tower unknowingly getting closer before Peach took Mario's gloved hand. Akira seeing that Mario and Peach were heading up was approached by Makoto who whispered to him. "We should follow them and watch." the raven-haired male nodded. "I was thinking the exact same thing,,,that and what they are capable of." The two then followed Mario and Peach.
~Tower of Mastery: Korrina's Room~ Kai turned her head towards Bellec before she calmly said. "Well, based on what you said...I think we would have a chance to take this area and kick the NWO out of here. However I am concerned about how Astral will respond. Even though people in my group have stood toe to toe with Astral and managed to beat it, they've not been able to kill it." The redhead then began to think, her artificial eye lighting up in a blue hue. "If we were to gain control of the area, we should probably come up with an escape plan in the event that the NWO comes in contact with Astral and they all show back up here. To avoid many casualties I would suggest that we all head up to space to where my brother works at and regroup from there." Kai then looked at Korrina and rubbed the back of her head. "Well, my name is Saki Kazue, my brother is Aoi Kazue. But you two can call me Kai." Kai then looked at both Bellec and Korrina. "If Astral itself does come here, then there are two boys who are our best bet to stall it, if not beat it senseless. You might have seen them when you came in Mr. Bellec but their names are Mario and Luigi." Kai's eyes looked at Korrina. "They were the two in overalls." ~Shalour City, Tower of Mastery~ As everyone went off in separate directions, Luigi pulled Mario to the side and spoke in a low hushed tone. "I know we agreed months ago to keep them a secret from the world, but I think C.C. and Rosalina need to know. After all they came from that area originally and also...we are going to have to eventually come face to face with Astral again." Mario closed his eyes recalling the moment when he and Luigi left Tokyo before he said. "Alright, they do deserve to at least be aware of it..." Mario then opened his eyes looking at Luigi. "...I'm going to go find Peach. You go find us a room." Luigi nodded and the brothers ran off in different directions. Kairi started to follow Lydia when she had spotted the presence of the keyblade in her hand, her mind being a bit curious before approaching her and asked. "Excuse me, but that weapon you have looks kind of similar to this." The redhead then brought forth her keyblade in a flowery flash and showed it to Lydia. "I've had this for a while and yet I'm the only one in my group to wield such a weapon. So...would you happen to know anything about the Keyblade?" Luigi had been running around before spotting C.C. sitting on the large bed of the room she had chosen for herself and Cynthia. Luigi then spoke up. "Excuse me, sorry if I am bothering you...but can I have a word with you in private?" C.C. tilted her head. "Oh...sure, just close the door." Luigi walked in and closed the door before looking at the green-haired woman. "I needed to speak with you about something that happened with Mario and myself months ago. You remember how we explained that Astral touched the Relic?" C.C. nodded. "Of course, that was how Astral amassed that power and how you two barely survived..." Luigi sat down beside her. "We came into contact with a woman named Lady Etoille..." This made C.C. scoot back with her eyes wide in shock. "Y-you met Lady Etoille?! Rosalina's mother?" Luigi nodded with a sheepish grin. "Yeah, Mario and I thought we were dreaming or in the afterlife. But that's not why I came to speak with you." Luigi then brought out his solid-green colored N64 controller with the apple button and glowing rainbow panel. C.C. slowly took the controller and looked at it as Luigi said. "We received part of the Relic's power when we were exposed it, Astral took the other portion of the power." The woman was speechless as she said. "I didn't think this was possible...but we might have a chance at finally stopping Astral." Luigi looked at her before he explained. "Despite her telling us that we were the only ones who stood a chance against Astral at this rate, Mario and I have kept this power a secret in order to keep everyone safe and not drag them into our fight. But considering what has happened we're already fighting anyway and putting the whole world on our shoulders would be foolish." C.C. handed Luigi the controller back and placed her cheek on the palm of her hand closing her eyes in thought. "Hmm..."
~Shalour City: Tower of Mastery~ "Alright, then let's chat Mr. Bellec." Kai calmly remarked before following him, she turned her head to wink at Aoi and C.C. as a confident note of things being alright. Mario and Luigi soon sweatdropped as they heard what Bellec did with Mario remarking. "When I said I was subtle as an explosion...I didn't think that he'd actually blow up a car..." Luigi blinked. "Well, technically it did allow him and his friends to arrive here without a fuss." Mario then looked at Luigi wondering. "Why didn't I think of doing that earlier!" Peach then looked at Mario before politely explaining. "Because if you did, you probably would have had not only the Stormtroopers and Cybermen on us, but also those S-Types too." Mario slowly started to laugh. "Oh...right..." ~Shalour City, France~ The Astral-S drones were still monitoring the city when their eyes laid upon the burning car that exploded, one of the eyes on the drones turned red before it spoke up akin to Astral itself. "Interesting...so the Rebels of this area have managed to distract the Stormtroopers and Cybermen of the area...however I am not fooled." The drones continued to monitor the area and not move from their positions.
~Shalour City: Tower of Mastery~ "Right, well we should properly introduce ourselves." C.C. started before coughing to prepare herself. "Like mentioned we are not a part of the Rebel Alliance and came originally from Japan. I am C.C....the secondary commander of the Rising Tide organization." She then motioned towards Cynthia, Zone-Tan, and Robin. "These are Cynthia, Zone-Tan, and Robin. The first being a former Pokémon League champion and my lover, the second being a powerful S-Type who is on our side, and the third being an experienced tactician. Back in the day the four of us originally fought against the S-Types prior to the founding of the group." C.C. then motioned towards Kai. "And this is Saki Kazue, the leader of the Rising Tide and...well..." C.C. blushed sputtering. "Our adopted daughter." Kai then gave the green-haired woman a gentle punch to the shoulder asking. "Did you lose your cool there?" C.C. shook her head. "No I didn't," Cynthia giggled. "I think you did." "Anyway!" Kai started before looking at Korrina. "Yes, I am the leader and some of the girls here are a part of the group. Although I'd prefer being called Kai." The redhead motioned her hands towards the other members of the Rising Tide. "These people are our resident hacker genius, Futaba Sakura. Our analyst Neru Akita. Our drunken fighters Haku Yowane and Meiko Sakine. Twins Sammy and Amy Pendleton. Eldest Princess of Nohr, Camilia and eldest princess of Hoshido, Hinoka. Our regular members are Samus Aran, Pyrrha Alexandria, Ryoko Subaru, Izumi Maki, Hikaru Amano, Morrigan and Lilith Aensland, Lucina, Kallen Kozuki, Kairi and her cousin Namine, and finally Platinum Berlitz." Dawn glared at Kai before she said. "I prefer being called Dawn." Kai then pointed at Aoi and Rose. "And finally this is my brother Aoi and his pet project Rose." Aoi's eyes shot open at his sister's explanation. "She's a person, not a pet project." Luigi then blinked before asking. "You just said two of those people were princesses, how is that possible when most of the royal dignitaries were killed off?" Mario then bluntly commented. "They don't even look like they're princesses." Kai facepalmed at Mario's comment before she said. "Luigi, I'll explain the full story to you, your brother, and the others later." As Kai had finished her introduction, Joker had his hands inside the white pockets of the cloak waiting. He soon stepped forward with Morgana hopping onto his shoulder, the feline looking at Korrina as Joker explained. "Yes, I am Akira Kurusu, leader of the Phantom Thieves and codenamed Joker." Skull then looked at him confused and asked. "Woah, hold on, why are you..." Joker looked at Skull before explaining. "Considering we are about to involve ourselves in a war, it is best that we don't use our codenames in front of the Rebel Alliance." Skull slowly shook his head. "Right...well name's Ryuji Sakamoto, I go by Skull." Bowser looked at Skull remarking. "Huh, I've seen you at Nintendo High...you could give Sonic a run for his yen." Morgana then added. "Yeah, almost there from what I heard. I'm Morgana, you can call me Mona, Lady Korrina." Fox looked over at Korrina before nodding. "I am Yusuke Kitagawa, codename Fox." Crow adjusted his mask. "Goro Akechi, just Akechi will suffice, codename Crow." Ram looked up at Akechi remarking. "You look like a Tengu to me." This surprised Akechi as Panther burst into laughter, she eventually recomposed herself as she said. "My name's Ann Takamaki, codename Panther." Queen sighed slightly giggling. "And I am Makoto Niijima, codename Queen." Mario was about to blurt another comment when Peach slammed her fist atop his head stopping him, Noir looked at Mario being smacked on the head before she looked at Korrina. "And I am Haru Okumura, codename Noir." Noire looked at Haru before she said. "Hey, your codename is my name." Uni then added. "But your name ends with an e." Uni looked at Korrina with a smile. "I am Uni, younger sister to Noire...and Neptune, Blanc, and Vert." Uni pointed at Neptune, Vert, and Blanc before pointing to Nepgear, Ram and Rom. "And these are my other siblings Nepgear, Ram, and Rom. We have more siblings but they and our mother are back in Japan fighting." Yoshi then posed. "Nintendo High's Cooking Club President Yoshi at your service!" Kirby also posed. "Along with Nintendo High's Cooking Club Vice-President Kirby as well!" Compa nodded. "You already met Iffy, but my name is Compa." Neptune smirked. "Iffy and Compa have a special bond with one another." This made IF and Compa blush red as Bowser stepped forward. "Name's Bowser, I am one of the strongest there is." Daisy rolled her eyes at Bowser before remarking. "You're not the only one, my name is Daisy." Peach looked at the two before she said. "Actually, with my powers I think I am stronger than both of you...but I don't want to brag. My name is Peach." Bowser and Daisy slowly stepped away from Peach as Rosalina pointed at Pauline and the Mario brothers. "This is Pauline, older sister to these two. I am Rosalina...I fell from the sky." Mario and Luigi then began to spin as Mario said. "And we're..." The two then posed shouting. "The Super Mario Brothers!" This was met with some sweatdrops as Makoto asked. "Did you really need to do that?" C.C. walked up to Mario and Luigi and placed her hands on their heads. "Mario and Luigi are the key in order to deal with the S-Types, particularly their commander as they have been known to be on par with Astral in terms of skill and power."
~Shalour City: Tower of Mastery~ Everyone lowered their hoods revealing their faces as Aoi removed his helmet as well, Mario and Luigi put their hats back on their heads. IF looked at Korrina before she explained. "We all came from what was once Tokyo, Japan. I'm the daughter of the leader of the Japanese rebels." Cynthia nodded. "Indeed, prior to the Purge we all hailed from different parts of life with a majority of our little group being high-school students." Mario then looked at Korrina with a bit of concern in his blue eyes as he asked. "I know I have no experience being a Rebel and probably am just about as subtle as an explosion, but is Lydia going to be alright out there with all of those Astral drones monitoring the city?"
~France~ Various red colored S-Types which looked similar to Astral started to appear all over the region, they appeared on top of buildings and in the distance away from people seemingly unmoving with their singular purple eyes. They were clearly looking for something important. ~Shalour City, France~ Various Astral-S started to appear with their eyes monitoring things a distance away from both the tower and the town as the group started following Lydia quietly and slowly. The presence of all the Astral-S made things feel uneasy though as they moved along. Mario and Luigi stood close to one another with Luigi whispering. "The eyes looking at our backs is a bit creepy..." Mario then remarked. "As much as I would like to punch one in the face, we need to keep quiet and hidden. Just stay calm" It wasn't just Mario and Luigi who were concerned though as Ram and Rom huddled themselves around Blanc, the twins looking around the area. Compa slowly inched her way towards IF before gently holding the brunette's arm. Queen also inched her own way towards Joker and stood close to him being rather careful. Finally Kairi inched her way towards Kai with the two redheads bothered by not the Astral-S but rather their lack of action.
Okay, three things... The first is "Wow, guess I forgot that part" Second is "WOOOOOOW, I didn't think we're get that many nominations" and Third is you accidently used the same link for DECADES: Best Role-Player and DECADES: Best Role-Play
~Shalour City, France~ Everyone looked at the woman who had approached them with caution and an uncertain feeling in some of their minds, the brief silence was broken when Cynthia whispered to Lydia. "Yes, we are trying to find a safe place away from the New World Order. We originally came from Japan to London and then fled from London to here since it was the closest." C.C. then added. "Yes, we barely avoided the Purge and want to fight back." ~London, England: Buckingham Palace~ All the S-Types that were part of the investigation at Freedom quietly returned to Buckingham Palace and were in the Throne Room surrounding Astral as it was in thought mumbling. "An abandoned building...sudden fireworks...no clear evidence of Rebels involved..." Astral's head then lifted up. "I think that whoever it was that left here had to have gone to France." Psycho Black then pointed out. "That's quite a guess you have there Lord Astral." Astral looked at Psycho Black explaining. "Seeing as France is one of the areas where the Rebels are still trying to fight back, they would try to get there considering it would be the closest to get to." Psycho Red then stepped forward. "Lord Astral, I would like to state a theory...what if the people who left here weren't members of the Rebels...but your old enemies who are still alive. I mean...Mario and Luigi's friends, family, and even allies have not been found ever since the Purge." Astral looked at Psycho Red before tightening a fist. "You could be correct...considering that Jumpman and his kin are still left along with that girl and that green-haired woman from Star Road, I wouldn't be surprised if they were still trying to fight back...We shall make our way to France and check into it, once we can make confirmation that it is indeed them, we will handle it accordingly for the sake of the S-Types..." The S-Types in the room loudly cheered.

~Moon Palace: Dungeon~ "Do not fret about the words he speaks, Thrax..." Astral said rather calmly as it stepped away from Zordon, its eye on Thrax as it continued. "All the old sage has is his words at this point..." As Astral said that, a figure akin to the blue Ranger rose up from the floor, his eyes glowing with data as he told Astral. "I apologize for my intrusion, Lord Astral. But I needed to inform you that E. Tempura and Inferno Obitus came back with something rather interesting they found." Astral looked at the ranger with a curious gaze. "Odd, did they say anything Psycho Blue?" Psycho Blue then looked at Astral. "They both said that they thought they saw Rebels fleeing London with a fireworks distraction and found the location on where they were launched from." Astral looked at Psycho Blue for a moment before looking at Zordon. "Well, we must make our leave, hopefully Lord Zedd and his family will keep you company." Astral and Psycho Blue quietly sunk through the floor. ~London: Freedom Bar~ Astral and Psycho Blue arrived outside of the abandoned bar and club where other S-Types including Inferno Obitus, E. Tempura, Chilled, and four of the other Psycho Rangers were waiting. All the S-Types bowed before Astral as Chilled said. "Welcome to London, Lord Astral." Astral raised a hand. "Save the formalities for later, after all you rule London so I should be calling you Lord Chilled since I am the guest here. Now...what do we have here?" Inferno Obitus looked at the building. "Well, not long ago a bunch of fireworks were let off in the sky. We came to the conclusion that Chilled didn't fire them off and tracked the location of the launch to this place." E. Tempura Wizard looked at the sign. "Freedom, a local club and bar here meant for people to take a load off and party." Astral soon walked past everyone and into the building with the rest following. The inside looked abandoned with no patrons or staff present, the strobing lights weren't on and the music wasn't playing, even the door onto the main floor was unlocked as Astral and the others entered the main area. "Odd, this place is a business yet nobody is here." Astral then looked at all of the S-Types telling them. "Look around for anything out of the ordinary, we need a confirmation of Rebel activity." The S-Types began to look around before Chilled looked at Astral explaining. "My S-Types managed to find one Kimberly Ann Hart running around in the streets in a garish pink ninja attire, unfortunately they were unable to kill her as some rapscallion outwitted them." Astral merely stood there. "It doesn't matter, if my eyes saw what happened then they would have been dealt with instantly. Even then they cannot stop us." Psycho Red walked up to the two and bowed. "I've checked under this floor, there's literally nothing there, no evidence of Rebels having been there at all." Psycho Blue then added. "Whoever launched the fireworks sent a wireless signal since there's no hidden button." Astral looked at Inferno Obitus asking. "Did you see anything fly out while the fireworks was going on?" Inferno Obitus shook his head. "No, we did not. Unless they were cloaked or hidden in the night, all we saw was the fireworks." Astral blinked before it said. "We shall reconvene in Buckingham Palace to come up with a plan...I have a sneaking suspicion..." The S-Types soon left the abandoned building. [OOC: Please see Capt. Jack Sparrow's above post about Fancystache's characters] ~Skies of Europe~ Iffy looked at Cynthia before something came to her mind asking. "Hang on, if you're the champion of the Sinnoh Pokémon League then why are you running around with the rest of us? You could easily use your position to deal with the NWO." Cynthia looked at the brunette before she sighed. "Actually, since they took over they have been trying to train Pokémon as weapons against the rebellion with laws set in place that could have Pokémon taken away from trainers if they don't comply. As for me, I stepped down willingly from my position." She looked over at C.C. "I might be a powerful trainer, but I'm not going to stand around while those I care about are being hunted down for not being politically correct." Mario had his eyes closed in thought quietly thinking, the mere quietness a bit of a concern as Compa asked. "Mario, are you okay?" Mario slowly opened his eyes. "I've been thinking something...and nobody is going to like this." Peach looked at Mario with a smile. "You can tell us." Mario looked at everyone and said. "Considering what's going on, we might have to take the lives of those who aren't S-Types...Killing people." The whole room went dead silent with eyes all on Mario, the thought of what he said going through their heads. A blonde girl started to cry before her twin glared at Mario and shouted. "Look at what you've done, you've made Sammy cry!" Mario stood firm looking at the sisters before he said. "I do apologize, but I'm afraid it's fact. Considering that you all said that the Stormtroopers are just regular people working for the New World Order, then they are against justice and truth and are just as much of an enemy as the S-Types are." The girl looked at Luigi and shouted with anger in her eyes. "Please knock some sense into your brother, he's asking us to sacrifice our innocence." Luigi looked at Amy and then at Mario before he said. "Mario might not be the smartest when it comes to certain things, but I see what he's trying to get at. None of us here have willingly taken the life of someone innocent..." Pyrrha and Kai looked away before the former said. "We've...taken lives of innocents..." Kairi then placed her hands on their shoulders. "Not willingly, you were both out of control and used. You two are not at fault." C.C. blinked and thought on it before she said. "They're right, none of us can get hesitant if we happen to come across Stormtroopers. Hesitancy will end up with us dead. We will need to get ready for the possibility of that." It was then that Samus said. "Looks like we're here..." ~Shalour City, France~ The transport ship had landed in a nestling of trees away from the buildings and was surrounded by the light snow on the group, after a few minutes the hatch on the cloaked ship opened up and multiple people clad in white cloaks came up. Everyone despite being clad in the white robes that blended into the snow was still recognizable by their physical shapes and in the case of Yoshi and Kirby, the former's huge nose and the latter's height. Aoi wasn't too far from them as he was given one of the white cloaks to put on. The group soon advanced into the city remaining quiet as they looked around.
~Rising Tide HQ: Namine's Room~ The two redheads watched the blonde worked with the keyblade in her hands, the door opened with Dawn standing there as she said. "Hey, C.C. wanted me to inform you guys to start packing up, we're getting out of London tonight." Kairi looked at Dawn before asking. "Well where are we going then?" Dawn blinked before mentioning. "Shalour City in France, she said we're going to find the Rebel Alliance and join them in dealing with this whole NWO crap." Kai looked at Dawn asking. "The Rising Tide working with the Rebel Alliance?" Dawn sighed. "Yeah, we lack the manpower to keep the NWO from retaking this city even if we took it over. Aoi's already left and is heading there now." Kai nodded as she stood up. "I see then...thanks Dawn." ~Rising Tide HQ: Meeting Room~ Mario raised a fist smiling. "Of course we don't mind, you're our big sister after all...and we don't leave each other hanging." Luigi nodded before rubbing the back of his head. "There's some people you may need to meet." Peach then walked up to the four telling them. "Hey C.C. said we need to get moving since Aoi left for Shaulor City a bit ago." Mario looked at Pauline blushing before the five went to the hangar. ~Rising Tide HQ: Hangar~ Everyone had all boarded the transport ship and had taken a seat with Samus at the helm, the blonde typed in the coordinates to Shalour City on the ship's internal GPS and activated the cloaking feature before she said. "Futaba, light this candle!" The orange-haired girl adjusted her glasses with a smirk as she had her phone at the ready, with a swift and epic movement of her hand she pressed the button on her phone's screen causing loud booming sounds outside while the ship launched out of the hangar. As they flew back everyone was a bit in awe as fireworks were let off in the sky. Futaba smirked. "Little surprise we had been working on incase we needed to make a quick getaway. The S-Types and anyone else will be distracted by the show in the meanwhile." A woman with long purple hair and a large chest leaned in towards Luigi making the man in green blush as she said. "Too bad the S-Types don't fly into the fireworks themselves." Hinoka glared at the woman before asking. "Camilia, can you get off of Luigi? You're suffocating him." The woman named Camilia moved away from Luigi. Samus soon activated the autopilot as she turned to face everyone. Mario then pointed at Pauline and said. "Everyone, this is our big sister Pauline." Everyone soon waved before Rosalina asked. "So does that mean she's like you and Luigi then?" Mario rubbed his head. "I'm not sure...I don't know her well." ~London: Outside~ Two beings stood on one of the roofs watching the fireworks go off, their bodies obscured by shadows as one was small with an eggplant shaped head and a single eye while the other was larger with four arms and bits of fire on his body. The smaller being remarked. "The Cold Family must be celebrating how they rule parts of Europe under the New World Order...eh, Inferno Obitus?" The larger S-Type stared at the fireworks before he said. "Something's a miss...I don't think Chilled is doing this...it's away from the Palace. I think the Rebels are trying to get out of London, E. Tempura Wizard." He looked at the smaller S-Type before he said. "We need to report this to Lord Astral and take action." The smaller S-Type nodded as the two vanished through the floor. ~Moon Palace: Dungeon~ A familiar being rose up from the floor, it's cloak like body being supported by a pair of electric blue demon wings, it's star-shaped head made of blue crystal noticeable in the light as a red eye looked at Zedd, Rita, and Thrax before walking forward and spoke up rather casually. "Hello old sage...I am Astral Praenunitus, the one who has been leading all the S-Types on Earth to the very day where this planet falls. Like what these people said your little Rangers and Riders are scrambling around blind and soon will fall to the New World Order..." Astral then leaned in to where its face was touching the glass. "As for the rest of them including the Mario Brothers...well the latter two died in a desperate attempt to stop me from taking the power of the Relic, their bravery I will admit was impressive...but now look at where it got them." Astral started to cackle loudly with a manical laughter. ~Water near Shalour City~ Aoi was quietly piloting the Black Serena under the body of water closest to Shalour City having launched from London earlier, he had kept himself and his cargo hidden from the NWO patrols as he worked to get himself back on land.
~Abandoned Japanese Military Base~ "It's no problem, after all everyone is doing what they can." Ruiji explained as he hugged his niece and looked at the Puppet telling him. "Puppet, take Pauline to Mario and Luigi...make sure the NWO doesn't find you." The Puppet nodded and hovered over to the brunette female placing his hands on her shoulders tightly before sinking through the floor with her in tow. ~Rising Tide HQ: Meeting Room~ Mario, Luigi, and Morgana were about to leave when the Puppet came floating through the floor with Pauline surprising the three. Morgana jumped back looking at the Puppet in shock before Luigi smiled and waved. "Hello Puppet!" Mario then saw Pauline and waved. "Hi there, sis!" Morgana looked at the Mario Bros asking. "You know this guy?" Mario looked at the cat and nodded. "Mhm, he's a friendly S-Type who owes his life to us for saving our uncle from certain death." The Puppet set Pauline down and let go. "Hello Mario, Luigi. I wanted to inform you that your family is doing okay back in Japan and are trying to deal with this New World Order as best as they can. Ruiji suggested that I bring Pauline here to you two...actually where are we?" Luigi then explained. "In London under a nightclub owned by a group hiding from the New World Order." The Puppet blinked before he said. "Oh, well I should be heading back. Your family loves you all very much." The Puppet then sunk through the floor leaving the room. ~Rising Tide HQ: Hangar~ Not long after C.C. and the others had prepped a plan, mostly everyone was seen in a large hangar where a trio of three colored humanoid mechs were being positioned in colors of red, golden yellow, and green near a compact ship of sorts. A door opened up and a large black armored machine flew into the hangar and turned around with Aoi's voice coming out from it. "Okay, attach the Aestivalises and whatever else you need transported to the Black Serena and I'll take them to Shalour." Yoshi looked at C.C. before asking. "Where are we going again?" The woman then looked at everyone and said. "We are leaving got Shalour City in France to find the Rebel Alliance, we don't have enough manpower to keep the NWO from taking London back even if we were to kick the ruler out. So Aoi will be taking our things though the water as to not alert them in the air, meanwhile we will take this transport ship of ours and fly cloaked through the sky." Peach nodded before asking. "How are you going to make sure the NWO doesn't suspect anything?" C.C. smirked before an orange-haired girl wearing glasses walked up beside her and said. "We'll get out without a problem." ~Rising Tide HQ: Kai's Room~ Kairi and Kai sat there blinking in sheer shock and surprise, both were speechless at what had just occurred in front of them as Kairi merely muttered. "Holy crap..." Kai slowly stood up trying to recompose herself as she got behind Namine and said. "I don't know what happened, but if that's a sign...I think it's possible for you to be much like Kairi in terms of Keyblade skill..." Kai then looked over asking in a whisper. "Kairi, any idea what the hell happened?" Kairi shrugged. "I have no idea, that's never happened before." Kai then slowly started to adjust Namine's hands and arms before gently manipulating her in a stance to where both hands were on the keyblade's handle. Kai looked Namine over before she suggested. "You should probably start with a two handled style first, but this will require some training..so why not just sit down with us for now and we'll train later."

~Rising Tide HQ: Meeting Room~ "Actually Nami-Chan, I would like to see both you and Kairi in my personal quarters. I have an experiment I want to try with Kairi's keyblade." Kai started as she looked at Kairi and Namine both with her head tilted. Kairi looked at Kai with confusion before they started to follow Kai out of the room. Everyone else soon exited as well minus the Mario Brothers and the cat. Luigi walked over and grabbed his 3DS only for the cat to vaguely mention. "So, you two are the ones. I didn't think there would be two this time...then again I didn't think an S-Type would touch the Saint Relic and survive either." Mario and Luigi both turned their heads towards the cat, their eyes widened as they had only heard the phrase "Saint Relic" once before. Mario then picked up the cat asking. "Mona, how do you know about the Saint Relic?" Mona slowly looked around and made sure nobody else was present before he said. "My name is actually Morgana, Mona is just my codename." Luigi then whispered. "Only one person is aware of that term, do you somehow know Lady Etoille?" Morgana looked at Luigi and sighed. "Yes, I am also aware of your little visit with her too. I can't reveal everything right now but I wanted to tell you two that this is going to be the hardest duty of your lives." ~Rising Tide HQ: Kai's Room~ Kai had led the two cousins down the hall away from the Meeting Room before coming across a blue door, the redhead opened the door and led the cousins inside a room that appeared to look like a normal bedroom with light-blue walls and shelves and stuff like that. Kai then walked to the bed and sat down on it telling Kairi. "Okay, summon your keyblade and hand it to Namine please." Kairi raised her hand and focused causing a flowery key-shaped weapon to flash into her hand, the redhead then handed Namine the Keyblade. Kairi then walked over and sat down next to Kai asking. "What's your idea?" Kai looked thoughtful as she looked at Namine and asked. "Could you show me a fighting stance with that Keyblade?" ~Rising Tide HQ: Map Room~ Meanwhile C.C., Cynthia, Robin, and Zone-Tan had entered a room where a large map was displayed on the screen. C.C. sat down and looked over the map and at their current location in thought. "Alright, let's figure this out." Zone-Tan stood with her hand on her hip, her blue eyes looking at the map for a moment before she said. "Wait a minute, Cynthia?" The blonde looked at the purple-haired girl asking. "What is it?" Zone-Tan looked at the map and then mentioned. "I see a problem with this potential plan and Robin's idea." Cynthia looked at the map as well before she looked at C.C. and told her. "Bae, we have a big problem. We have the numbers...but we don't have the power to hold the New World Order back and prevent them from retaking London or even just replacing the S-Type ruler if we were to kill it." C.C. turned her head to look at the blonde before realizing the same thing and slammed her fist into the table shouting with frustration. "Damn it!" Cynthia quietly raised C.C's face up by her chin and kissed her softly on the lips. "Don't get worked up, I know how you feel...but our force mostly consists of high-school students, even if some of them are stupidly powerful. Even I haven't fully mastered my own powers yet and we would be leading ourselves into a situation where everyone could die by our hands." C.C. sighed and slumped back down in her chair asking. "Well, what do you all suggest?" Cynthia then sat down on the green-haired woman's lap and looked the screen over before she suggested. "We leave tonight and get to Shalour City, it's the closest from our position. If it hasn't been taken over we will need to attempt to find the Rebels." Robin's eyes opened in shock. "Cynthia, that plan is crazy." Cynthia looked at Robin with a smirk. "I know, but if we get there during the night and take our mecha fleet combined with some other things, we can help the Rebellion out when we find them. This way we know we will be in safe hands and potentially not cause something that ends with hundreds dead." C.C. gently moved Cynthia off and looked at Zone-Tan telling her. "Guess we will be going with Cynthia's plan then, get Aoi and take him to Wilhelm to get the Black Serena down here. We will get things ready and arranged down here." The purple-haired girl nodded and sunk through the floor.
~Rising Tide HQ: Namine's Room~ Kairi smiled and placed a hand on her cousin's shoulder, her blue eyes meeting with that of the blonde as she told her. "Don't worry about it, Kai, C.C., and everyone else have been doing what they can. We'll figure out something to help you out too Nami-chan." ~Under Freedom: Rising Tide HQ~ After a few minutes of waiting around, another elevator door opened and Mario soon stepped in waving. "Hi everybody! I brought friends." Everyone turned their heads as the Phantom Thieves slowly came into the lobby, the blonde with the skull mask remarking with a smirk. "Hello ladies, nice place you have here." Kai sweatdropped and lowered her head. "Dammit Mario, I didn't say bring in outsiders..." Mario then hopped up. "But they're trying to fight the bad guys just like we are, isn't that right Joker?" The male in black named Joker nodded. "After what Mario explained to me, we're all on the same page." C.C. looked at Joker and then walked up to Mario placing her hands on his shoulders smiling. "Mario, thanks to your stupidity and kind-hearted nature, you've managed to give us hope. Bloody fantastic job you did there!" Kai blinked for a moment before C.C. turned her head and told the redhead. "Get Kairi and Namine, we're going to have a meeting." Kai then ran off towards the personal quarters while C.C. led everyone down a separate hall. ~Rising Tide HQ: Meeting Room~ Another few minutes passed as everyone assembled into the black marble-walled room that had neon lights and the same star pattern on it as in the lobby of Freedom itself, a long and low-grounded table was in the middle of the room with beanbag chairs near it. A large monitor/terminal was at the end of the room. Some people were sitting in the beanbag chairs, some stood leaning against the wall, and in the case of both Kirby and the cat, they stood on the table. Kai was near the terminal looking at everyone before she started. "Alright, I know what some of the girls here are thinking. We have a lot of people not affiliated with the group in the same room as us in the middle of our meeting. Don't think too hard on it and just do things like we would normally." Kai turned towards Kairi and asked. "First of all, what did you and the angels find out outside?" Kairi looked at her friend before she said. "Well, we basically found a swarm of S-Types that looked like insects mixed with small ships. They were flying back from doing something that we know nothing about to Buckingham Palace and it looked as Ryoko described it dark and distorted with crystals and New World Order stuff everywhere." Cynthia was rubbing her chin in thought. "These S-Types didn't happen to fire electricity at you, did they?" Hikaru blinked looking at the blonde before she said. "No...why you ask?" Cynthia then pointed out. "The description of those S-Types matches up with a species of Pokemon called Vikavolt." Daisy sweatdropped. "There's over eight-hundred of them, how do you expect us to remember all of them?" Kai then shook her head. "Back to the point please, does anyone else have anything to add?" The male with a fox mask raised his hand. "I do, if you do not mind?" The cat smirked. "Tell them Fox." The male referred to as Fox calmly stood up and explained. "While we were waiting for Mario to receive our Calling Card and were hiding in the shadows, we saw the S-Types flying after someone who looked to be in a pink ninja garb down the street, she was moving almost as fast as they were." C.C. was rubbing her chin as Luigi brought his 3DS out and turned it on. "A ninja in pink running around London, that's odd." Luigi booted up the S-Type Radar causing the screens to show a map of London, Luigi's position being represented by a green dot with Mario's position being a red dot while pinging close to a strong, but small S-Type detection. The purple-haired Zone-Tan walked up to Luigi and looked over at the Radar Screen, she poked a finger on the signature before coming face to face with her own information. "Aww...cute, you have a radar to detect little old me and my own kind." A white haired woman with a flower in her eye also walked up to Luigi from the other side with a hand on her hip as she too pressed the radar with her finger before finding her own info. "Bloody hell, I didn't think my info was there." Aoi then raised a finger. "The Radar was made with the updated software to detect people like you Rose." A blonde in a blue bodysuit looked at Luigi and asked. "Can you check Buckingham Palace with that thing, Luigi?" Luigi nodded and began to move the map with the circle pad. "Sure Samus, just let me find it." Luigi's jaw then dropped at the sight of what he saw, everyone gathering around him as Mario asked. "Luigi, what did you see?" Luigi slowly looked at his brother with sincerity. "Mario, Buckingham Palace is full of S-Types, the strongest point is in the middle and the reading is huge." C.C. looked at everyone and then took Luigi's 3DS using a cable to bring the radar screens up on the monitor. "It is clear then, in order to free London we must deal with the S-Types at the heart of it. After that we can help you reclaim Japan." Bowser looked at C.C. before asking. "Do you have a plan?" C.C. sighed. "Unfortunately I don't, there are two issues that stand in our way." The green-haired woman quickly brought up images of both Stormtroopers and Cybermen before looking at everyone. "I will be taking over for Kai here, but here are our issues. One of these is the main military force of the New World Order referred to as Stormtroopers. These guys are just regular people under that armor so we can't make the call on if they're still innocent people just being duped by them or people who are guilty and thus we can deal with them accordingly. The armor as we have studied is also incorporated with Pins that allow for a Stormtrooper to fight almost on par with a Conduit if not more depending on the person in the armor." Noire glared at C.C. asking. "Are you saying an average guy with no powers can just don that armor and fight against those who were born with their powers?" C.C. nodded. "Theoretically yes, we don't know the full extent of the Pins themselves, as for the Cybermen...we have no information on them at all regarding a weakness and they can kill in one shot, powers or not. With both of these elements present, it will make our task harder." A woman clad in a robe with long white hair in two ponytails was thinking. "Hey C.C? What if we just focused on the big bad S-Type in charge of the place. I assume if it is dealt with and we have control, then the NWO would have to leave." C.C. looked at the woman before she slowly had a chesire grin. "Robin, you may be onto something..." Kai then stepped in. "We'll end this meeting for now and come up with a battle plan, with Hinoka and Camilia on the floor above us being our eyes in case of the NWO showing up we will be fine. So meeting's over." Kai then looked at Kairi with a smirk and nodded. ~Abandoned Japanese Military Base~ Ruiji stood in thought about what Pauline said and closed his eyes, he looked at the Puppet who still floated nearby looking out at the others in the area before looking at Jumpman and Fujiko. He then nodded and looked at Pauline telling her. "I think that you should go and be with your brothers. Jumpman, Fujiko and I can cover things here, that way you can train with Mario and Luigi and help the whole world, even see things and gain new experiences that you never had before. If or when you are ready, just tell me and I will have my friend get you to them without the New World Order finding you."
~London, England: Queens Theatre~ Mario blinked and lowered his guard at the sight of the cat before blinking. "A cat? I didn't think a cat would be a Phantom Thief." Mario then remembered the card and got into his fighting stance, his fists tightened as he told the people in the shadows. "Listen here, I came alone because I'm not going to go let you take my heart from my chest and then Luigi's heart too!" This led to a blonde male clad with a skull mask stepping out before he said. "You got it all wrong, dude. We didn't mean that literally." Another male stepped out of the shadows with dark-blue hair and a white fox mask on calmly responding. "It is meant to be on the terms of the morality scale." Mario blinked lowering his fists, confusion on his face as he asked. "So...you're not bad guys?" The cat soon looked at Mario before he said. "Despite your...unusual train of thinking, we merely asked you two to come up here alone in order to get some answers." A male in a white regal outfit with a longnosed red mask stepped forth. "We are merely fighting the bad guys just like you, your brother, and your friends." With that some others came out including a raven-haired male with a white mask, a brunette girl in pink with a black mask, the platinum-blonde from earlier in a latex red catsuit with matching colored mask, and the brunette clad in a dark biker getup with matching mask. Mario stepped back looking at the brunette and the blonde before pointing out. "Wait a minute, you two were working at the bar that Aoi and I were just at..." The brunette sternly looked at Mario before she said. "Yes, but let's get to business. The S-Types we've been fighting plus the Rising Tide members have mentioned three names. Two of them were you and your brother, the last was an S-Type with the name Astral Praenunitus. Who is Astral and why is it a big deal?" Mario looked at the brunette and placed his hands in his pockets. "Astral is my family's sworn nemesis and is the head of the S-Types on earth, prior to this whole New World Order thing it and its S-Type buddies were allied with the Crystal Order. I've been off this planet since the Purge so I cannot tell you what Astral is doing now since it still thinks Luigi and I are dead, but it is a danger to not just us, but everyone on this planet. Astral is someone that you shouldn't try to deal with because it is powerful and also is smart." The blonde looked at Mario and placed a hand on her hip. "No wonder the Rising Tide seemed to know quite a bit about them." The brunette in pink looked at Mario with a small frown looking saddened. "And yet your family's had to deal with Astral for so long." Mario looked at the girl in pink before smiling. "Hey, don't worry about us. We've beaten Astral back time and time again. As for the rise of the New World Order...well I couldn't even predict something like that happening." The members seemed to start to discuss something when the raven-haired male in black raised a dark-red gloved hand and asked. "Just one more question. You said Astral thinks you and your brother are dead, yet you're still standing right now before us alive and well. How did it occur?" Mario looked at the male before he said. "I won't go into too much specifics, but Luigi and I have seen things no normal people can comprehend...including the destruction of another world, thus I enacted a plan with Luigi to make sure our planet doesn't end up like the world we saw. This also meant we fought Astral again and the three of us touched the Relic in Nintendo High at the same time and Astral got away, now we have a trump card to turn this war around. Although we have to deal with the NWO and their control of the world first." The male nodded with his chin cupped in thought. "I see...Mario, if you do not mind, my friends and I need to have a private chat." Mario smiled. "Not a problem, I don't know your names anyway." Mario stood back as the Phantom Thieves were having a discussion about Mario's answers, after a few minutes of deliberation the group separated and the raven-haired male looked at Mario calmly telling him. "After some talking, we've come to the agreement that we would like to help you and your friends in this battle." The brunette smiled. "That is if it's okay with you." Mario looked at them and smiled with a thumbs up. "I don't see why not, you guys seem like honest people, but we should probably get back to Freedom before we get caught by the Stormtroopers and Cybermen." The Phantom Thieves nodded before the group quickly started to leave heading back to Freedom through the shadows and crowds. ~Rising Tide HQ: Namine's Room~ "Well, we found out that Buckingham Palace is basically a giant S-Type nest thanks to some S-Types flying back there and the fact that the place had a distorted and dark look to it with the crystals present." Kairi started before she burst out into laughter. "Poor Ryoko though, Izumi teased her about being afraid of some creepy crawlies, she looked flustered as she went after Izumi. Then we came back here afterwards."
~Rising Tide Base: Namine's Room~ Kairi slowly opened the door and gently stepped foot inside the sleeping quarters that belonged to her cousin, ever since that fateful day all those months ago she had been on the run with her only way of seeing her loved ones being thanks to the purple-haired Zone-Tan. She walked over and sat down next to her cousin seemingly looking out in the distance in thought before looking at what Namine was drawing with a curious blue gaze and asked. "So, what are you drawing there?" ~Rising Tide Base: Main Area~ Another elevator in the same area that the members were in opened up as Kai, Luigi, Aoi, and the rest showed up, Kai telling C.C. and Cynthia. "Hey, Aoi's here and he's brought friends." As everyone piled out onto the floor, a red-haired girl with a metal arm looked at them before she asked. "Kai, are you sure we should have all these people down here in our base?" Peach looked at the girl before she responded. "Actually Kallen, we've been trying to find all of you," Rosalina also nodded and looked at C.C. explaining. "Wilhelm sent us down here because we are going to need your group if we are going to attempt getting Japan back and stopping the New World Order." C.C. looked at Rosalina and sighed knowing the pure look in the platinum-blonde's face. "As much as he and I have had our issues in the past, I am willing to trust him more than I would this New World Order. But does he even have a plan to go about it?" Luigi walked up to the green-haired woman before he said. "Well, we know we can't make a direct strike at the Capital while it is at full power...and that accounted for even me and my brother. So Wilhelm came up with an idea to simply remove and eliminate those in power that way the people will start to act up knowing that the NWO can't protect them, meanwhile the Capital gets weakened because they are trying to deal with a rebellion at low strength." "I see..." C.C. mumbled as she had her eyes closed in thought. "By making the populace afraid and uneasy, then they will be less likely to trust the NWO due to their failure to keep the situation under control. Knowing Wilhelm and his secretive methods on gathering the information, I can see why he would ask of our assistance." She opened her eyes and looked at everyone before noticing something was up and asked. "Hang on, where's Mario?" Aoi then responded. "Mario had to go out because he received a card from a group referred to as the Phantom Thieves, they needed to see him outside atop the Queens Theatre." This made everyone in the room stop with their eyes wide open as Cynthia asked. "He's outside...alone!?" Aoi nodded before Cynthia facepalmed and shot a look over at a long-haired blonde girl in gray with a ponytail. "Neru, take over for Futaba and find out where the Queens Theatre is, make it quick." Neru nodded and gently rolled herself and her chair over to where an orange-haired girl was napping in front of a computer terminal, she quickly started to work. Cynthia looked at Luigi and calmly said. "Your brother is an idiot going out there alone with Stormtroopers and Cybermen littering the place." Luigi looked at the blonde and nodded. As Neru was at work locating the area, Ram and Rom walked up to Kallen and looked at her metal arm curiously, Nepgear and Uni soon joined them before Nepgear remarked with a smile. "Nice bit of tech you got on there." Kallen raised her arm up smirking. "You mean this? This beauty is one of a kind that my friends built for me." Ram blinked before asking bluntly. "What happened to your real arm though?" Kallen's eyes opened up as she looked at the little girl, her confident smirk vanishing as she said. "Well, I....was born with a missing arm..." She pointed to her shoulder. "If you look closely you can see that it's connected directly to the nerves and flesh where the arm would be." Uni looked at Ram for a moment before she said. "Sorry if my little sister offended you." Kallen merely gave a hearty laugh. "Why would I be offended? I'm just more of a badass like this." A blonde in a black and blue dress nodded. "Mhm, Kallen is like a big sister to us." Kallen looked at the blonde and smiled. "Thanks Pyrrha." ~London, England: Soho~ Mario stepped out of Freedom and onto the streets of Soho, his blue eyes looking around for the Queens Theatre in the midst of the traffic. Recalling the way they all came to get to Freedom, the brunette male started to carefully make his way back before finding the building where "Les Miserables" was being shown and found a sign with the name. "Queens Theatre" on it. Mario snapped his finger. 'Here it is, now to show them a piece of my mind." Mario walked into the alleyway between the Queens Theatre and another building before jumping towards the nearest wall and launched himself of it, he kept wall jumping until he landed atop the roof of the Queens Theatre. Mario looked around not seeing anyone present on the flat roof. "Hello, anyone here?" From the shadows stepped out a short black and white feline-like creature with a large head and blue eyes shown from behind a navy-blue mask, a yellow scarf wrapped around his neck. He looked at Mario before he said. "Odd, you came here without your brother." several pairs of eyes from human-sized people appeared in the shadows near the cat, Mario stood firm looking at what he was about to deal with.
Reserving just two for now. Name: Yusuke Kitagawa Description: A talented and eccentric artist and a former member of the Nintendo High Art Club prior to the Purge, once the New World Order took over and started to supress creative freedom and expression from the people he went into hiding. Eventually he soon joined the Phantom Thieves under the codename of "Fox" Despite having become a member of the Phantom Thieves, he is one of the more mature members compared to some of his compatriots. Faction (Rebel/New World Order/None): None Series Character is from: Persona Image: Spoiler Name: Haru Okumura Description: Former head of the Nintendo High Garden/Agriculture Club and only daughter of one of the famous CEOs in the fast food/restaurant industry. Much like Mario and Luigi with Captain Blue, she had watched and admired various female superheroes to where she understood the meaning of justice. When the New World Order took over, she had set out from her rich life and began to fight the S-Types and other foes initially on her own. Eventually she had joined the Phantom Thieves under the codename "Noir" [OOC: Not to be confused with the person named Noire] Faction (Rebel/New World Order/None): None Series Character is from: Persona Image: Spoiler
~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.
