~Honnouiji Academy~ Spoiler: BGM Astral simply laughed as its red eye stared directly at Gamagoori seemingly unphased by the loud demeanor of the person who had it wrapped up tightly. "You claim we are just roaches just to protect your precious Lady Satsuki...one of the four devas of Honnouiji if I recall correctly, the Impenatrable Shield." Astral's head detached from its body with its body dissolving into a black liquid falling through Gamagoori's whip before reforming a distance away from them with his eyes directly on them. "I came to test a theory of mine against these two and this entire school. A theory that I have been trying to figure out." Jumpman looked at Astral seeming as though he was confused under his helmet. "A theory, what kind of theory are you going on about?" Astral blinked as it looked at Jumpman sternly. "I am trying to figure out if that defeat in Toshima was just a fluke or if it's something else entirely. So I am gauging your powers. You, your wife, the military, Nintendo High, Honnouiji, and everyone else." Various Astral-S started to rise up around the grounds of Honnouiji simply staring at everyone with their monocular eyes as Astral looked at Gamagoori speaking up. "Stage three Goku Uniform, capable of transforming and focuses on high attack and defense. It comes in a two stage form that changes depending on the amount of damage done to the first form." Astral's eye shifted over to Lady Jumpman continuing. "Stage two Goku Uniform, made specifically for club leaders, currently it's more powerful than other stage two uniforms due to the user exhibiting their power though will alone." Astral's eye finally shifted towards Jumpman."You're not wearing a uniform but you're using about as much power if not more than your wife, in exchange you're using up more energy to keep the transformation going." Lady Jumpman raised her blade pointing it at Astral with a cold expression on her face. "Okay, so you know about our powers. What does it have to do with anything?" Astral simply grinned as its wings went back into its body with five Astral-S appearing around it. "Haven't you ever wondered how I've always survived every encounter and grown stronger?" Five dark tendrils shot out of Astral's back jabbing themselves into the eyes of the Astral-S making them limp as they were lifted off the ground. Their bodies reforming into crystals as the tendrils shot back into Astral. Within moments large red and orange spots with eyes started to form on Astral's wrists, ankles and chest. The eye on the chest looking directly at the three. "You see, my overall power is based on how many S-Types are present." Astral's wings appeared on its wrists sharpened like long blades. Jumpman growled with burning rage showing in his eyes as he started to throw several white fireballs that had golden cores within them. Astral simply stood there as it smacked the fireballs right back at them. Lady Jumpman's eyes widened with panic on her face as she quickly smacked the fireballs back at Astral before it turned into a deadly tennis match. ~Nintendo High: Biology Class~ Rosalina swallowed with a loud gulp before calmly explaining. "Yes, sorry for the interruption Coulson-sensei...but my eye was bothering me." Mario got out of his seat and walked over to Rosalina, he placed one hand on top of her head making the girl nervous as she whispered in a frightened manner. "Please, whatever you do Mario...do not look directly at my eye..." Mario blinked as he placed a hand on her large bang. "It's an eye, it's not like your eye will make me do stuff you say." He moved the hair out of her face meeting eye to eye with a dark-blue eye that had a glowing rainbow outline of a star inside it. Mario started to spaz out before falling back with his head slamming against Bowser's chair. The last thing he could hear before going unconscious was a loud scream of "BIG BRO!"
~Minato District: Outside the Mario Bros. House~ Astral was still relentlessly beating up on both Jumpman and Lady Jumpman with such a forceful glee in its' eye. However Astral was forcibly kicked off of the couple thanks to Jumpman slamming his feet into Astral's face sending it skidding backwards, it slammed one of its' hands into the pavement slowing its' movement down as Jumpman and Lady Jumpman calmly stood up. The two stomped over towards Astral with fire ablaze in their eyes. In a swift flick of leg and arm movement Jumpman dashed in towards Astral with both hands flaring up with golden flames gritting his teeth as he started to assault Astral with a flurry of punches and kicks that were aimed directly at Astral's head sending the S-Type into a daze, Lady Jumpman started to walk backwards clutching her blade waiting on something to happen. Astral managed to turn it's dazed eye towards Jumpman. "What do you think you're trying to do, Jumpman?" Jumpman's eyes darted towards Astral's head as he knealt down with his fist crackling as he said. "This..." shortly before jumping up into the air with his fist connecting to Astral's head. "SHORYUKEN!!!" The connecting blow sent Astral buffeting into the air wildly. Lady Jumpman immediately jumped at the wall and propelling herself towards Astral. As she approached Astral she swung her blade at its' head before slicing it through with a clean swipe. "CLEAN-CUT EXECUTION!" Astral blinked as its' head and body fell out of the sky and onto the ground with Lady Jumpman landing on the ground near her husband. She smiled and kissed Jumpman proudly on the lips. "I believe we finally got Astral, honey." Jumpman laughed before placing a hand on his stomach in pain. "Yeah, looks like it did a number on me." Their moment of victorious triumph was interrupted when Astral's body stood up without the head and floated off of the ground. Astral's voice could be heard from the ground. "So you two tried to behead me thinking I would fall like one of you Earth people." Its' arms raised out forward encasing Lady Jumpman in a blue light lifting the woman off of the ground. The body then swung its' arms out to one side sending Lady Jumpman flying into the sky and hurdling her away from the area. Jumpman's eyes widened immensely as he screamed in terror as he tried to grab his wife's leg. "HONEY!! NO!" Astral's head started to fly off of the ground and reattached itself to its body staring at the gold overalls-clad man. "People are interesting, they think they're the ones who rule and have power over the populace...such arrogance. And then here we have you and your family...such stubbornness passed down from generations and the one thing that stands in my way. Yet you, your kind, and even your own gods are simply a part of a larger game being played by entities that are beyond your comprehension." Jumpman stood firm with his fists clentched, his teeth showing with anger in his eyes. "I have no IDEA what you're even going on about and I don't care either!" Gold electricity started to crackle around Jumpman as his eyes started to flash, his voice spoke up coldly. "You've stalked us since we first met, followed us all over and tried to kill us. You'll never quit...and neither WILL I!" With a loud scream an orb of golden fire surrounded Jumpman causing Astral to step back as the orb exploded. Floating a little off the ground Jumpman was staring at Astral with his arms crossed encased in a white and gold armor set with small golden wings of fire emanating from the back. Astral's eye widened just as Jumpman flew at it sending a burning yellow boot into Astral's face sending it flying out of the area with the father in pursuit. ~Honnouiji Academy: Memories of Legend~ Lady Jumpman was spinning through the air careening towards the courtyard before crashing into a crowd of generic one-star students sending them flying about the area. She slowly managed to get back on her feet using her blade to support her body, her orange eyes still burning as the students started mumbling and chattering among themselves about Lady Jumpman's appearance right on school grounds. 東京伝説レディジャンプマン料理のミストレス Culinary Mistress of Tokyo Legend: Lady Jumpman Astral soon crashed near Lady Jumpman's position sending more students flying about with the transformed Jumpman gently landing beside it and onto the ground with the students chattering growing louder in the presence of the Nintendo High veteran. 任天堂ハイレジェンドジャンプマンの英雄 Hero of Nintendo High Legend: Jumpman Astral rose up from the ground before the three went back to clashing with each other right in the heart of Honnouiji's campus causing various generic students to be scattered about smacking into all the walls. ~Nintendo High: Biology Class~ Mario, Luigi, and Rosalina quietly listened to Mr. Coulson's lesson without much of a lingering thought on their minds, the room itself had been rather quiet and devoid of any chattering among the students. However the quiet mood would be interrupted when Rosalina placed a hand on her bang with her head lowered looking a little in pain. Luigi turned to look at her and tried to support her head up with concern in his eyes whispering. "Hey, is there something wrong with your eye?" Rosalina looked over at the taller brother with her hand still touching her bang. "It's fine, I don't want anyone to worry about it." Luigi's eyes squinted as he took a closer look. "Look, if there's a problem with your eye then you should have a medical professional look at it before it gets worse." Rosalina pursed her lips rather defensively as she whispered back. "I can't exactly get my eye fixed by a normal doctor, so please don't make a fuss about it and focus on your studies Luigi." ~Nintendo Elem.: Halls~ The other students of Class 94 including the White Sisters started out of their classroom as they were about to go on a field trip. Ram and Rom were in a particular discussion about Muppets. "Muppets, weren't they on that one show we watched? Sesame Street?" "Yeah I think so, I think they were also on that show with those little things that lived in a giant cave." "Ram, they weren't on Fraggle Rock...that's a different Muppet production all together." "What about the show with that Dinosaur family mom let us all watch together?" "That was a different Muppet thing too."
For Plot-related reasons the following are being reserved Eldstar Mamar Skolar Muskular Misstar Klevar and finally Kalmar The Seven Star Spirits [Super Mario Bros.]
~Outside Mario Bros. House~ Astral was still beating on Jumpman and Lady Jumpman without remorse and with unrelenting fury leaving those on the sides watching in sheer horror at the sight before them...well everyone except for Hades who looked to be amused at the sight before him. "Well, this is a lovely sight. An S-Type beating the everloving joy out of those two humans! Now this is quality entertainment!" Palutena turned to face the Lord of the Underworld looking unamused with her eyes half closed somewhat looking smug. "Well Hades, you do realize that if the S-Types conquer this world then they will storm the Underworld and easily take you out of the picture since you won't have any souls to make an army with, and even if that happens I'm not going to let you loiter around on Skyworld like a penniless bum." However Hades slightly jumped in surprise before chuckling as he stared down at the Goddess of Light. "Oh please, atleast we can put up a fight compared to your little centurions up above. The S-Types would most likely overthrow you before they even stepped into my domain...especially after observing your little Pitty Pat-Pat's performance against them." The two deities began to argue loudly with each other while the others looked on, even the other S-Types were watching the scene with interest. Cranky was irritated at the scene before him with a vein popping out of his forehead. He walked over towards the arguing deities and jumped into the air smacking both Hades and Palutena with his cane. "GET A HOLD OF YOURSELVES AND FOCUS!" He quickly ran over towards Toadsworth and slowly picked his fellow elder up off the ground and started to run away from the battle. "Come on, let's get you out of there Toadsworth." As soon as Cranky left everyone else focused in on the battle before them with renewed vigor. Inferno Obitus, E.Tempura Wizard, and the whole Astral-S squadron stepped in front of the group of people with intentions to stop them on their faces, Inferno Obitus spoke up boldly. "What do you humans think you're going to do?" Histoire calmly lowered herself to the ground and slowly stepped off of the book she was on, once her feet were on the ground she looked up at the S-Types with a defiant smirk on her face speaking up calmly. "It's actually really simple..." It was then that she quickly flew along the ground towards E. Tempura Wizard and slammed her feet into his stomach knocking the S-Type back quite a distance past the battle with Astral as she spoke loud and clear. "We're going to kick your ass!" Inferno Obitus was pissed off now at his boiling point only for two flying fists to come rocketing out of the building and slammed into Inferno Obitus' head knocking him back a great distance as the fists flew back to their owner. Geno casually walked out of the building as the fists reattached to his body. "Did you really think I would go down that easily?" ~Nintendo High: Biology Class~ Luigi nodded as Mario took the papers and passed them around to everyone. However neither brother knew of what was currently going on back at their own house with their parents and the S-Type entity they had fought before. ~Nintendo Elem.: Halls~ As they left the office more refreshed and calm the candidates all quietly went back to their separate classrooms. Ram and Rom in particular had returned to Ms. Frizzle's class feeling vastly different from before as they sat back down in their seats quietly.
~Nintendo High: Biology Class~ Mario calmly got off of the top of his desk and quietly sat back in his seat. It seemed his little speech had done something as the people in the room started to lighten up and loosen their minds eagerly awaiting the lesson that was going to be taught to them. Luigi blinked however as he looked at Mario. "Uh, Mr. Coulson? Are we in trouble for what my brother did? Cause I had nothing to do with what he did." ~Nintendo Elem.: Councilor's Office~ The four girls looked at one another closely with all eyes met on one another. The fear of what happened in Toshima slowly being washed away from their hearts as they looked towards Jessebelle with reassurance in their eyes and faces, Ram finally spoke up. "Yeah, you're right. We're still alive and everything is basically alright. Come on everyone, let's gets back to our classes and have some fun. Thanks for the talk." The other three candidates nodded in approval as they all stood up and quietly left the room and started to head back to their respective classes. ~Outside Mario Bros. House~ Spoiler: BGM Astral raised its' arms to both sides as its' hands crackled with electricity, with swift and fluid motion Astral started to fire off waves of electricity that arc'd all over the place. However Jumpman was on the immediate defense countering every electrical wave thrown at him with some precisely thrown golden-yellow fireballs. For each wave that met fire it exploded with a loud boom that sent Astral backwards slightly. Astral looked through the thick smoke left by the explosions trying to see where its' targets had gone. Its' red eye caught a glimpse of a large speeding yellow/orange firey phoenix that had been speeding right at Astral itself. Astral grinned and stood firm before stepping to the side and letting the phoenix pass right beside it before jamming its' hands right now into the back of it and grabbed both Jumpman and his wife surprising them both as it spoke up. "Your sons pulled the same stunt. I will not fall for that again!" Astral then threw the two into the road rather forcibly and began to beat then senseless with punches and quickly-casted spells
~Nintendo High: Biology Class~ Mario gently poked Luigi who just groaned. "Hang on Mr. Coulson. He's fine...but..." Mario immediately stood on top of his desk and pointed at Luigi boldly speaking aloud. "Luigi, did you forget what Captain Blue taught us when we were kids!" Luigi rose his head up as Noire looked at Mario unamused by his antics frowning. "You watch Captain Blue? That old relic of a show isn't even real!" Mario turned his head at Noire and shouted aloud. "SHUT UP! I'm trying to give my brother a pep-talk here!" Mario coughed again and continued his speech. "Captain Blue told us to always fight for justice! To defeat any evil that stands in your way! And to do the right thing to protect the innocent and defend those unable to fight for themselves! And what we did in Toshima was just that, we were all heroes fighting together to protect the city, even though we all came from different families we all had a common goal, to stop Astral and that Crystal Order thingy. You're even a hero too Luigi!" Luigi smiled and spoke up. "Mario, that might be the corniest speech I ever heard. But that was spoken from the heart of a true hero." Rosalina looked over at Mario and smiled as well. "Hopefully one day I can be just as much of a hero as you." ~Nintendo Elem.: Councillor's Office~ The four girls blinked in confusion as they listened to the explanation before looking at each other. Nepgear coughed as she looked at Jessebelle awkwardly. "Um, our situation didn't involve love at all. I simply asked to come and see you about what had been bothering me." Uni was the next to speak up with her head down and a frown on her face. "I simply followed Nepgear after she told me to come with her. My mind was bothered with the same issue she had." Rom was the next one to speak as she looked up at Jessebelle while still holding Ram tightly. "We came together after Ram swore at Charmy and took responsibility for it and our teacher sent her here. I followed her." "Either way...we were all thinking about what had happened in the heart of Toshima."
~Mario Bros. House: Cold Fury, Burning Awakening~ Geno jumped off of the roof and landed in front of all the S-Types looking on at them with his cape flowing in the wind, stern brown eyes staring right at Astral. "Astral, you have NO IDEA what you're doing to the people of this world. Stand down and maybe I will spare your life!" Astral stood unphased by the doll in front of it, its' eye turning towards the doll. "...♥♪!?...what is your business here?" Geno started to walk forward with confidence in his stride, he was still staring at Astral. "My boss sent me down from above...you should know why already." "To stop all S-Types from finding and destroying the relic. Either way you're not going to stop me so..." Astral's arm quickly shot out with its' mind focusing. Geno was wrapped in blue light and was slowly lifting off of the ground, he struggled to break free as Astral immediately blasted Geno through the glass window of the building and sent him skidding against the tiles right into Jumpman's feet. "...Goodbye!" Spoiler: BGM This little moment sent shocking chills through the entire building as Jumpman and the others looked through the broken window and stared directly at the cold-hearted S-Type that stood at the forefront just as Lady Jumpman strolled down the stairs and stopped, her blue eyes directly staring at Astral. Her face frozen in fear as Astral loudly spoke up. "Come on out, Jumpman! We can see you and your friends in there!" Inferno Obitus looked down at Astral as Jumpman, Lady Jumpman, and their friends and allies slowly shuffled out of the shop and onto the empty Tokyo road. Astral, Jumpman, and his wife stood at the front walking close to one another, eyes staring at each other. "So, you tried to kill our sons..." Astral looked at Jumpman coldly. "Your sons interfered in my plans....just like the boy and girl from two different schools from before. Oh wait...that's you two." Lady Jumpman smirked as her sapphire eyes darted towards Astral's chest. "Funny, you were beaten by a single boy, a single girl, a loving couple, a soon to be father and his very pregnant wife, and now their sons. Must say a lot about you don't it Astral." It was then that Astral felt something sharp go through his body, its eye looked down to see a large glowing red and black cutting knife had went through its' chest. Astral's eye slowly followed the blade directly to the handle where Lady Jumpman's delicate hand held it tightly. Her other arm holding her husband tightly against her body as she stood a defensive stand, cold fury showing in her eyes. "Listen to me now Praenunitus. As long as we still stand...you will never touch our sons. At this point I don't even care if Kiryuin herself comes and kills me for stealing my old uniform....you...will...NOT...TOUCH...THEM!" Astral simply laughed as it slid backwards freeing itself from the blade and clapped slowly. "Such bravado coming from a mother like yourself. Unfortunately however that's not where my heart is." The hole from the knife instantly refilled itself as Jumpman broke away from his wife standing beside her with a determined look in his eyes as they turned golden-yellow transforming immediately in a flash. Lady Jumpman spread her legs apart, gritting her teeth as her own blue eyes turned a firey-red. The red and black stars on her uniform turned a firey-orange and started to crackle as embers flew out, the gray parts however changed into a brilliant white. Astral looked over at the rest of the S-Types as it calmly ordered. "You all are to deal with their friends, these two are mine..." It was then that Astral transformed into its' boosted form and slowly stared down the transformed mother and father with electricity and fury in the air.
~Mario Bros. House~ Lady quietly nodded and bowed before her guests. "If you will excuse me, there's something I need to get." "Go ahead dear, we won't mind one bit." Lady nodded and quietly ran off upstairs. Kamek looked over at Jumpman grinning. "Looks like you caught a good one there, Jumpman." Jumpman raised his hands blushing in embaressment. "Come on Kamek, she's a good wife." Shepard then casually poked Jumpman with a questioned look on her face. "About your sons, did you know anything about their powers?" Jumpman turned to face the redhead with his arms behind his head. "Actually, I did know about their powers. I just didn't expect them to come out like this." Lady eventually returned carrying a large red suitcase and placed it on the counter. The words "Property of Lady Jumpman, Forever the culinary mistress of Tokyo" written in gold cursive. "We had thought that moving to Italy would have protected our boys from the S-Types and Astral in particular..." Jumpman adjusted his gloves looking at everyone else. "...Unfortunately we were wrong, dead wrong. Astral just kept hounding us." Toadsworth crossed his arms looking at the couple. "Probably because Astral thought you posed a threat to its plans." "So the 1996 incident in Italy...was because of you two and Astral?" Shepard asked as her green eyes watched Lady Jumpman closely. "Yes, I was almost eight months pregnant at the time with Mario and Luigi. My husband and I had managed to beat Astral away." Lady then pulled out a key and inserted it on the lock of the suitcase as Histoire interjected, her expression looking forlorn. "But, every time we would beat Astral it would come back stronger than before and having learnt from the previous battles." Donald interjected afterwards almost immediately. "Astral is not someone you would expect to go down instantly Shepard." Lady unlocked the suitcase and opened it up. "I figured I would need to use this again." Jumpman's eyes widened as the former Nintendo High students, Toadsworth, and Cranky all walked over. They were all staring a grayish-blue culinary uniform that had two large black stars in the breast region. Goofy jumped with a surprised expression on his face. "Garwsh! You were a student at Honnouiji Academy!?" Lady Jumpman smiled happily. "I wasn't just any student. I was the reputated captain of the school's cooking club, the Culinary Mistress of Tokyo." She then took the uniform and went back upstairs, Jumpman grinned. "Yeah...we used to be deadly rivals cause we were both heading Cooking Clubs in our time. Eventually it turned into romance, her stealing her uniform during graduation, and everything up to now." Histoire simply smiled with her eyes shut. "That was in the past, we've seen her do well with you." It was then that the old friends had a laugh together. Outside the building Geno stood on the roof looking down as he heard the story and smiled. However his brown eyes jolted towards the ground as Astral, Inferno Obitus, E. Tempura Wizard, and a whole squadron of Astral-S started to appear outside the restaurant/home. They all stood there in wait unmoving with Astral having its' arms crossed staring dead-on at the building with a single seering red eye. ~Nintendo Elem.: Outside Office~ Nepgear calmly stood up and looked at the redheaded woman that had asked them the question before looking down. "If you wouldn't mind, we would all like to come inside. All of us are being bothered by the same feeling." Uni and the White Sisters nodded before the four candidates stood up and walked inside the office managing to find seats for themselves as they sat down. It was then that Nepgear started to speak up again. "Miss? Have you ever had a near-death experience and felt like you were powerless against an enemy you couldn't beat at all?" ~Nintendo High: Mario and Company~ Mario, Luigi, Neptune, and the rest all stood up from their seats and quietly left the classroom, none of them speaking to each other as the thoughts about what had happened a few days ago was going through their minds. They all entered the biology classroom together and quietly sat in their respective seats. Mario then stood up in his seat looking at Luigi with a worried grin. "Oh come on Luigi! Get your step back in you nerd!" Luigi looked at his brother with the same worried look before his face went *thud* against the desk as Mario facepalmed.
~Nintendo Elementary: Class 94~ Ram quietly nodded before standing up and slowly walked out of the classroom without a single word coming from her lips. Rom diligently followed behind her twin in a rush as she left as well. Charmy simply blinked not quite sure about the whole story about Toshima. As they walked down the hall they ran past a little blonde girl with a brown and yellow jacket quickly running past them in a rush towards their classroom before scrambling inside room 94. The twins blinked before resuming their walk down the halls. ~Nintendo Elementary: Outside Counselor's Office~ Ram and Rom eventually arrived outside the office when their eyes widened at the familiar sights of Nepgear and Uni quietly sitting in chairs near the door. Nepgear looked saddened and tensed as she fiddled around with a rifle design on her personal handheld. Uni on the other hand was rather irritated as she looked at Nepgear watching her work. Nepgear's purple gaze furrowed in frustration. "Uni, there's no way I could modify your rifle to fight the S-Types without more information on their structure." Ram sat down in a chair near Neptune looking. "So, they sent you here too?" Nepgear looked over at the brunette smiling somewhat. "Yes, but I wanted to come because we were both bothered by Toshima." Rom looked at Nepgear frowning. "Ram-chan...she shouted at Charmy..." Nepgear gently gave the small shy girl a pat on the head. "I understand what she's going through...we all are."
~Nintendo Elementary: Class 94~ Ram and Rom slowly walked into the classroom with Ram going into a sprint to her desk and Rom slowly walking to her desk and sitting down. Deep inside however both of them felt troubled as the memories from the battle were still fresh in their minds. Ram was trying her best to keep as brave and positive as she could but Rom just stared distantly out a window with worried eyes. Ram gently poked Rom's shoulder whispering in concern. "Rom-chan, what's the matter? You look like something's bugging you." Rom slowly turned towards Ram with that same look to her eyes as she frowned mumbling in a low tone. "I got to thinking...what if we had drowned back in Toshima and Sei didn't save us? How did Astral beat us all up? What if Mario and Luigi didn't stop Astral? I feel like we were all powerless to stop him." Ram gently tried to comfort her scared twin and hugged her. "Shhh, look don't dwell on it. We beat the bad guys and everyone's alright. You shouldn't worry about it." However their conversation was cut short when an excited Charmy overheard the chat and flew over. "You two were in Toshima? That's so cool, wait until 9-Volt and 18-Volt hear about this." Ram looked at Charmy a bit annoyed. "Can't you see that I'm trying to comfort my sister here?" Charmy kept babbling on regardless of Ram. "I heard that a lot of people were involved and some pictures leaked on the internet." Angry veins fromed on Ram's head while Rom was crying on her shoulder. Ram stood up and slammed her hands on the desk with Blanc-levels of anger on her face as she screamed at the young bee. "WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP YOU ANNOYING LITTLE SH!T! My sister's already depressed enough about it and I kindly asked you to stop but you just kept talking about it and made her feel worse off than ever." Ram stopped yelling as the students stared at her and Rom. Ram quietly sat back down looking down in embaressment. "I'm sorry Ms. Frizzle. Rom and I have been under a lot of stress lately...just go on ahead and send me to the Principal." ~Astral's Memory: The two from that time~ Spoiler: BGM Astral stood within the middle of a busy Tokyo street full of people that walked all around it. Its eye looking around as the people slowly started to vanish into thin air. Turning around Astral saw the transformed Mario and Luigi standing firm. Mario had his arms crossed grinning while Luigi looked on in concern with red and green eyes staring at Astral. Astral raised its arms before firing off a large blast of magical energy that slammed into the brothers making a large booming explosion. Astral however stood firm and emotionless as the smoke and dust cleared. Near Mario and Luigi were two familiar individuals. A man wearing golden yellow overalls and a woman wearing an elaborate chef's outfit with two black stars on the uniform. Astral stepped back shocked at the sudden appearance thinking shortly before the four rushed in at the S-Type. ~Crystal Order HQ: Santcuary of S-Types~ Within seconds Astral's red eye shot open from the revelation. "The two from before...Jumpman and Lady..." Astral's body reformed immediately as it reappeared outside the tube it was in. "The two that defeated me from before. They're the parents of the Mario brothers." If Astral had a visible mouth right now he would grin. "I see, so the boy from Nintendo High and the girl from Honnouiji Academy got married and had two boys that are just as dangerous as them. Yet those two have been hiding under my nose the whole time." Astral paced the room concerned. "But, Mario and Luigi's power felt way different...as if I felt the power of the Harbinger." Inferno Obitus and E. Tempura Wizard rose up beside Astral. "We heard your conversation, Astral. What do you suppose we should do about the whole family?" Astral crossed its arms. "We're going to gauge the power of their parents using my newest S-Types..." The three then started to leave the room.
~Sakamaki Mansion [Flashback]~ Noize calmly started to speak as he saw Awashima smiling. "Oh thanks, good thing you arrived. Ulala's just been quiet and smelling the roses with the idea that she's going to go in and find the information on the guy. Personally I think we were set up to come here." it was then that Fuse spoke though just as Ulala started down the wooden path. "No, this was the right information I was given. The guy just relocated himself. Anyways stay cool, I've sent Munakata after you three. When he gets there we will be leaving." Ulala casually strolled down the pathway until she came across a large stone gazebo with the moon shining directly through it leaving a light on the wooden floor. Ulala stopped for a moment and took a look at the beauty and serenity that had been surrounding her. Her eyes slowly looking around as her arms and legs slowly moved in rhythm to an unknown beat in her head. ~Mario Bros. House~ Histoire nodded and calmly sat down. "Jumpman himself kinda told the whole gang to get down here sometime after finding out what happened with his sons back down in Toshima. However from what I've been hearing Astral's grown even stronger since our last encounter with him." Compile blinked and sat down next to the smaller girl concerned. "How powerful was it, Histoire-sempai?" Histoire sighed looking down. "It wiped the floor with all of my girls, even while transformed." This sent Jumpman up in shock. "But your girls are supposedly goddesses!?" Histoire looked blankly into Jumpman's eyes. "Astral's on a whole different level." The bell rung as the door opened with Toadsworth's voice speaking up. "Yes, Madame Histoire speaks the truth as much as I would hate to admit it." with Cranky's voice speaking up loudly. "Well it would have been less painful if we were all there to combat the thing!" Histoire facepalmed with a frown. "That was all my fault professor Donkey Kong. I sent the girls out after what I thought was a bunch of small S-Types attacking humans." However a third voice spoke up as a red shoe stepped inside and adjusted his hood. "Histoire, we call him Cranky Kong now. His grandson's Donkey Kong." Jumpman clapped loudly. "Kamek! Toadsworth! Cranky! Welcome and have a seat" The three men kindly got into some booths with Cranky starung down at Jumpman sternly. "You're lucky that this whippersnapper knew where you lived or else I'd be lost." Kamek looked at Cranky sternly. "Not my fault you had no idea where the building was. You old fart!" Cranky grit his teeth before lifting his cane and bonking Kamek on the head. "Respect your elders boy!" Kamek rubbed his head after Cranky hit him with the bell ringing again with a quiet mouse, a seemingly pissed duck, and a confused dog entering. Blinking Jumpman's wife looked at the dog. "Hey Goofy, what's wrong? You seem like you messed up." Goofy looked at Jumpman and his wife before explaining. "Well, gawrsh...we kind of had a run in with someone looking for you. Donald's angry about it." Donald took one glare at Goofy and jumped in place. "It's not my fault a Spectre of all people asks me to explain why I don't wear pants!" the mouse placed a calming hand on Donald's shoulder. "Calm down Donald, we all just had a bad case of communication. Sorry about this Jumpman." Jumpman nodded reassuringly with a laugh. "It's fine Mickey, I've seen Donald's anger for myself. Just go an sit..." "Papa Mario." Jumpman blinked and looked at the door as Shepard walked past Donald, Goofy and Mickey before placing her hands on the counter sternly. "Oh hey Shepard, you want the usual?" One of Shepard's eyes widened. "Uh...I guess, but I am here on Spectre business. In particular about your sons." Compile looked at Shepard lazily hanging her arm off to the side. "Just sit down, we're all here for the same reason you are." Shepard blinked as she noticed all of the people sitting around and just quietly sat down near the counter. Jumpman's wife smiled awkwardly as she shook her hands. "Now, let's just calm down. We don't want a violent fight to happen here." "Nono, if we did then there would be confusion as to who was either dead or unconscious...either way you souls would be mine so who cares." Everyone turned towards an empty booth where Hades was casually sitting causing Cranky to panic as he grabbed his heart. "The Lord of the Underworld!?! AGGGH MY HEART!" Cranky would feel a gentle hand on his shoulder with Palutena speaking up calmly. "Cranky, calm down. Hades and I aren't here to freak everyone out and accidently kill someone." "Then what is the Goddess of Light and the Lord of the Underworld doing in my house!?" Palutena calmly sat down looking at the confused Jumpman. "Let's just say that your friend Astral decided to be a big shot and threaten us both." "Well that and her little angel boy was smacked around like a ragdoll." Palutena facepalmed at Hades' remark. ~Gadd Science~ KOS-MOS stood up and stared at everyone blinking. "Affirmitive, however my priority is to keep Shion safe until she is within the safety of the ship. Until then it will be up to everyone else to hold the S-Types back for a little bit. I cannot give an estimated time but if everyone works together effectively then there is a 75.83% that the plan will go effectively." Vexen stared at KOS-MOS blankly. "75.83%?" KOS-MOS nodded. "This is dependant on how well Gadd Science, the Knightmare Frame pilots, and the Aloha Oe's crew work together. However there is a liability due to having insufficient data on the Aloha Oe's crew and this effectiveness could drop to 43.97% or rise to 120.00%" E. Gadd nodded with a glum look. "That is a risk I'm willing to take. Meeting adjourned, we'll meet over at the docks with the required equipment." With that the various members started out of the meeting with thoughts of the mission on their minds. ~Nintendo High: Government Classroom~ Mario, Bowser, Yoshi, Kirby, and Neptune all quickly arrived to the classroom with moments to spare. Luigi quickly waved his hand at Mario with a rush in his face as the other students started to sit in their seats. "Hey Mario! Hurry up before Namikaze-Sensei gets in here!" Mario nodded and quickly jumped from the door and into the air before landing directly in his seat with his butt planted firmly within. "Luigi, remind me to never jump like that again. My butt's feeling the effects of it. Yoshi almost made us late with that meeting of his." IF looked at Mario with an emerald gaze. "Oh just calm down, Peach is in this class atleast and she wouldn't have want you late either." Mario quickly straightened up and faced forward at the teacher's desk with determination on his face with Rosalina watching. It's as if Mario became something different as he stood still.
~Mario Bros. House~ Jumpman placed a hand on his chin and started to think closely as he looked at the people that had appeared. "Your faces I can remember but the rest is just blurry Shiro. Nothing personal." "Nothing personal, this is just more than personal Jumpman." Jumpman turned towards the door before blinking in surprise as spotted Compile and Histoire standing in the door of the building. Histoire in particular staring at Jumpman through a pair of glasses sternly. "Your boys are more than what they let out to be....atleast more than a dumbass and a smart guy." Jumpman's wife clapped with a smile on her face. "Oh, welcome to our home Compile-chan, Histoire-sempai." Histoire pointed at Jumpman. "I owe your sons for saving the lives of my girls, but right now there's a problem that's out in the open like an elephant." Jumpman nodded with a serious tone. "The Crystal Order and Astral Praeninitus." ~Sakamaki Mansion [Flashback]~ Placing his hands on he arms of the Astrobeat's chair Fuse calmly spoke up. "I am leaving you in charge of the situation, however I want you to be sure and get everyone together. Otherwise it will be up to you." Meanwhile Ulala slowly started to look around the new area she and Noize were in. Silence had overcome their senses as their eyes looked into the night at the roses. "Red, white, and blue roses." Ulala started to walk towards the garden of blue roses before kneeling down to take a closer look. Noize on the other hand started to calm down as he also started to look around with his goggles glinting in the light. ~Nintendo High: Canteen~ "I'm unsure if Mario plays basketball, but I do know that he and Luigi like to jump around a lot." Rosalina explained as Luigi slowly rose back up shaking his head to get reoriented. "Mama-Mia, that was weird. I thought I was turning stupid." IF walked over to Luigi and placed a hand on his shoulder with a reassuring look. "Nope, you're still you...which means you're a nerd." Luigi burst into laughter shortly afterwards as Kairi just walked past them scratching her head in confusion. Eventually Compa joined the two as they looked at the people Rosalina was hanging out with before turning towards Luigi. "I'm just a nurse-in-training but I don't think you'd be cut out for basketball." ~Nintendo High: Cooking Club~ Yoshi paced the floor nodding before turning around to face everyone with sheer determination showing on his face. "Then we will beat them and prove that Nintendo High can make the best food ever! Nobody will stand in the way and we will be recognized!" Yoshi stared up at the ceiling with large eyes as Kirby joined him looking up at the ceiling. "Dare to dream, sir...dare to dream." Yoshi looked back at everyone smiling. "Alright, we'll meet back here after-school to get to work on preparing the food for our guest. Stay sharp everyone!" With that said Yoshi, Kirby, and the rest started out with classes about to start. ~Gadd Science~ "Indeed, and it's a good thing we're getting help. Look at this." E. Gadd calmly explained as he brought up an overview of the area with hundreds of small blue dots surrounding the wreckage. "The radar has spotted a high amount of S-Type activity, however these signals are rather stationary...as if they're dormant." Shion scratched her head slightly puzzled. "Dormant?" E. Gadd calmly nodded. "Yes, some S-Types remain dormant in their crystalized states, some only attack when provoked, and others can hide their true power from the prototype radar. This is why Lloyd's team will need to clear a path for you and KOS-MOS to enter the Absolution."
~Nintendo High: Faculty Lounge~ Peppy nodded sternly at Minato and Kakuzu. "Kakuzu calm down. Yes I am aware that the S-Types have sprung up. First it was here, then at the Shibuya 109, and then Toshima." Ralph crossed his arms with confusion in his eyes. "This seems sketchy. It's as if they're trying to find something..." "..or someone" Everyone stared at Peppy as he made his point clear. "The common theme to these recent attacks were the presence of a lot of people. If I had to make a hunch they were trying to look for the you-know-who." Felix looked at Peppy nodding in agreement. "Sounds like something they would do. But who is the you-know-who?" Peppy looked at Felix sighing. "Unfortunately I have no idea since the relic hasn't been speaking to me. But we have a different problem on our hands." Peppy leaned back and gazed at everyone. "There were three powerful S-Types down in Toshima...one of them being Astral." Ralph was shocked as he looked at Peppy. "I thought it was killed!?" "Unfortunately not...but two of our own students managed to beat Astral down. This would cause them to notice and hunt those two down. I want all of you to keep your eyes on Mario and Luigi during school hours today." ~Nintendo High: Cooking Club~ Bowser crossed his arms and closed his eyes as he began to think. Mario slowly got back onto his feet after falling off the table rubbing his head with Yoshi and Kirby staring at Bowser intently. "You all...need my help to make meats and other food." Yoshi blinked and nodded quickly with a smile. "Yes, we need someone who can handle meats." A silent two minutes passed as Bowser thought about it. His eyes opened up with a toothy grin. "Alright, I will help you all." With that Yoshi and Kirby jumped into the air yelling in cheer only for Bowser to interrupt. "However, to maintain my image that everyone knows me as I will need you all to not be mentioning this to anyone else." Mario on the other hand smirked in response. "So the big, tough Bowser doesn't want to let anyone know he's a big softie." Bowser's glare switched back towards Mario with his eyebrows showing a scowl. "Yes, normally I wouldn't be seen doing something like this in public. People would think that I'm gay." Mario blinked and took a good look at Bowser. "Wow, sorry about what I said then...I can actually see what you mean." Bowser stood back looking surprised. "You do?" Mario nodded. "You're holding back your passion and desire to cook food on account of maintaining a tough guy image, thus you think you'd be considered gay for participating in something that most people see as a feminine activity. So you bully people alongside Gaston, Trixie, and the rest so that people see you as a manly man." Yoshi, Kirby, and the others jumped out of their seats in shock. "Did Mario just say something intelligent!?" Mario blinked again and smiled. "My father and I are passionate about food and we can hold ourselves in fights. Doesn't make us gay at all. Now why don't we just work together and make some good food." Mario then raised a gloved fist out smiling. Bowser on the other hand was rather hesitant before bumping his fist with Mario. ~Nintendo High: Canteen~ Rosalina quietly nodded. "Hello Kuroko, Kise, and everyone else. Yes I am a fan." With a small smile she turned towards Kagami and tilted her head. "You know...the way you eat reminds me of Mario. If he was here then he would probably outeat both of you." Luigi facepalmed and spoke up loudly from the next table over. "I don't think Mario could eat as much food as those two." Rosalina turned her head towards Luigi. "But you and I have seen how much your brother eats on a daily basis. It's quite a lot." Luigi's eyes widened before falling out of his seat landing on the floor just as Kairi walked towards him holding her breakfast and stared down at Luigi just as Compa ran over concerned. "Luigi! Are you alright?" IF looked at Luigi with her head tilted. "I think he just had the realization that Mario said something intelligent." ~Gadd Science~ KOS-MOS blinked and slowly turned her head towards Shion. "Shion, he made sure that the upgrades complied with my operational system and onboard weapons. Nothing else was altered." Shion quietly nodded and looked at the modifications done closely. "Seems like it will work...only issue is with the power used. Other than that it will do Asplund...it will do." Moments later most of the employees had gathered back into the meeting room with E. Gadd up front smiling. "Hello everyone. Now before we start..." E. Gadd stopped and noticed one of the seats empty as he adjusted his glasses. "Anyone seen Dr. Crygor?" Shortly seconds afterwards Dr. Crygor came flying through the window and broke it into pieces. "Sorry I am late, I got held up when I had breakfast with some old friends of ours." Vexen scowled while facepalming. "And where did you go for breakfast?" Dr. Crygor looked at Vexen before making a round motion with his hands. "You know that place with the round roof and the spinning neon sign about fourteen miles down the street from here." Shion facepalmed looking embaressed. "Oh no...you went to BooBies didn't you..." "Yes I did Shion." KOS-MOS blinked before speaking up. "It's reason to believe that Dr. Crygor is a dirty old man." This made Shion burst out in laughter as Dr. Crygor scowled. "For your information, young lady. I didn't go to stare at breasts! Instead I got us some help with our mission. They will be joining us once we enter the sea." E. Gadd waved his hands trying to get order. "Everyone but Gordon please shut up!" he quickly brought up a blueprint of a spaceship. "This is a blueprint of the sunken G.P.S. Absolution. What we need to retrieve is located onboard the bridge here." E. Gadd pointed at a small blue dome located in the top-middle. "Unfortunately the only safe way inside is through a bust open hangar located on the starboard side. Luckily the whole ship hasn't been filled with water and is running on low power." E. Gadd looked over at KOS-MOS and Shion. "This is where you two come in. We need to recover the Ships A.I. conscience if possible. So you two will be the ones to head to the bridge. Also if possible try to grab the ship's logs as well." ~Mario Bros.' House: Roof~ Papa sat on the roof of his home staring out towards both Nintendo High and Honnouiji Academy with a forelorn look to his face as his eyes were dead on. Silence filled the air as he closed his eyes and blinked. When he opened them he saw everything before him burning to the ground with dead bodies all around. Up in the sky was a white entity with glowing black wings cackling as it aimed a single claw at Jumpman. However a female voice spoke up. "...Dear? Are you alright?" Papa jumped as he returned to reality. Shaking his head the big-nosed man turned around to see a blue-eyed woman with long brown hair and japanese features standing behind him. "Oh, hello there honey." Crossing her arms the woman stared at Papa sternly. "What's wrong, lately you've been on the roof staring at the schools. Jumpman...it's them isn't it." "Yes, it seems that even if we tried to move away from Japan to protect them from the S-Types they always follow us....and now Honnouiji's returned. I seen a bad omen ahead with the way things are going." The woman blinked in concern before placing a hand on Jumpman's shoulder. "Come on down...we have guests waiting" With that the married couple started back towards the building. ~Sakamaki Mansion [Flashback]~ With the utmost speed Noize had managed to drag Ulala all the way to the backyard of the mansion before stopping as he was breathing hard. He tapped his own headset and spoke up. "Fuse..." "Noize, what is it! Where's Ulala!" Ulala fell to the ground looking a bit shaken up. "Right here...just a little disoriented from being dragged about." "Oh....whew, for a minute there I thought Noize left you for dead...it would have been a downer." Noize started to walk around. "Listen, I'm starting to think that this report was a lie. Think you could come get us?" Ulala managed to stand up holding her head as she stumbled about. "Disregard that...there's probably information somewhere in the mansion itself." "Ulala, didn't you see what they did?" "I'm coming, just hang on for a little bit." Ulala stared down at her co-worker. "The guy might not live here anymore but there has to be information on where he is." ~Wish Shop [Flashback]~ Vert nodded and bowed with a smile. "Thank you for helping us. Come on everyone, let's go and continue to find Aoba." With that thought the CPUs slowly started out the door with Neptune remaining rather quiet as she held the thin laptop in her hands staring at it. Pururut stood outside quietly watching them all file out the door. Noire crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she started to think. "Okay, so we have a key...that leads to Aoba. Problem is that we have no idea where the key goes. Does anyone have a clear idea on how we're to use a key like this?" With that the girls each started to think about the question closely.
~Nintendo High: Faculty Lounge~ Ralph and Felix were sitting with the other teachers looking over their lesson plans as they tried to catch up on the missed days. "Okay, so we need to quickly build that obstacle course before class. I'm sure we could easily do it." "Yeah, but we're gonna need a whole lot of food coloring" It was then that Peppy walked into the room causing everyone to go into silence as the gray hare walked over and sat down looking at his lesson plans with a smile. "Hello everyone. It's good to be back" ~Nintendo High: Cooking Club~ Yoshi placed a hand on his chin and looked at Fuuka sighing. "Well with Kotobuki out that leaves us down a guy for fried dishes." Kirby meanwhile was quickly doodling something down on a piece of paper looking serious. Yoshi immediately slammed his hands onto the table near Minako. "Wake up!" Kirby then spoke up. "Everyone in regards to our special guest I have prepared our best course of action. Each of us will use our skills to make an average four course meal. That means Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert." Kirby crossed his arms. "First Yoshi and I will handle the breakfast, this will be the simple concept of eggs, pancakes and freshly made orange juice." "Woah woah woah! Where's the bacon! You can't have breakfast without bacon." "Mario's right...with no Kotobuki here that leaves us weaker in the meat and fried foods department until he gets back." "Well we could..." Kirby was interrupted however as the door opened with Bowser standing there grinning. Mario jumped onto the table gritting his teeth in anger. "What do you want!" Bowser's menacing red gaze looked at Mario. "Calm yourself, I'm not here for you." He then walked over to Fuuka and placed a dark-green bento in front of her and gently opened it up revealing a small fried chicken within. "Look, I made this for you." Mario fell off of the table as he heard that as Yoshi looked at Bowser suspiciously. "You made that fried chicken?" Bowser turned to face the president sternly. "Yes I did make it. Are you calling me a liar?" "No, but it's best that she tries it first." ~Nintendo High: Canteen~ Luigi and Rosalina quietly entered the canteen just as Luigi proceeded to sit down with Compa and IF. Rosalina however turned her head towards Kise and slightly blushed as she walked over and gently sat down beside him with a small smile. "Hello." IF tilted her head at the sight of Rosalina with curiousity. "Luigi, who is that girl?" Luigi turned towards IF and smiled. "Oh that's Rosalina, she's been living with us since she fell out of the sky." IF's emerald eyes went into a deadpan look. "Luigi, girls don't fall out of the sky." "Well she did...she fell right on top of me." ~Gadd Science~ E. Gadd quietly walked into the building only to notice Dr. Crygor looking at a large map of the Pacific Ocean with Gordon Freeman nodding as he stared and listened to the cyborg doctor. Vexen clapped his hands as he walked up to E. Gadd with a grin. "Everything is currently running smoothly, we're currently working on the final preparations. Meanwhile KOS-MOS is currently in Lloyd's lab with Ms. Uzuki overseeing the upgrades herself....luckily nobody's been kicked today." E. Gadd adjusted his glasses and looked at Vexen concerned. "What about the upgrades to the Knightmare Frames?" Vexen nodded in approval. "Lloyd himself has completed the needed upgrades, we also have the other mecha just in case." "Excellent. As soon as everything is done I will discuss the plan." ~Skyworld: Palutena's Palace~ Palutena was staring at the clock within her palace as it read 7:45 am. Blinking the Goddess of Light walked towards another room with a calming smile. "Well, I should probably get Pit up if he's going to get to school on time." With that thought she walked into the Pit's quarters and gently placed the needed bags, books, and uniform on top of him before waving her staff with focus on her mind. This caused Pit and the various things placed on top of him to vanish in a bright light before appearing high in the sky over an alleyway not far from Nintendo High. Palutena blinked with embaressment as she saw where she had sent Pit. "Not again." Closing her eyes she quickly spokeup. "Um Pit? This will probably wake you up immediately but I sent you into the skies of Tokyo..." ~Crow's House~ [Three Days Ago] Mito quickly nodded as he held the water in his hands with tiredness showing on his face. "Um alright. I'll take you up on that offer. I'm getting tired anyway." ~Wish Shop~ [Three Days Prior] Vert quickly wrapped her arms around Belle looking as though she was about to cry. "You didn't have to do it for us. One of us could have given it up for him." Blanc slowly turned her head towards Vert with a lack of expression on her face as she tried to hide her sadness. "Vert, you shouldn't cry about what she did....think about it for a moment. If you had been in her shoes and gave up your power to Sei what would you do?" Vert blinked as she wiped her tears. "Well....I would want you all to keep going." Blanc then gently joined in the hug and embarced the blonde twins as best as she could with her dull blue eyes looking at Belle with sadness in her voice. "What you did...nobody will hate you for it. We're still your siblings and we will be there for you always." The other CPUs joined in a massive group hug with Noire scoffing. "Regardless of how corny it sounded, we don't hold anything against you." Neptune broke away from the hug and picked up the laptop before looking at Yuuko with a smile. "I'm willing to give it up." ~Mansion~ [Three Days Prior] With the action going on Noize started to scramble towards the doors and pulled on them only for them not to budge at all. Ulala on the other hand stood firm against the vampires, she turned her head to the side and started dancing forward. "Well then, Vampires all over the place huh...Let's Dance!" however Ulala's sudden proclaimation was interrupted by Fuse's chatter over her headset. "Ulala they're Vampires. Your weapons are useless against them...and dancing won't help." It was then that Noize grabbed Ulala and started running through the mansion with clear panic on his face.
~Compile's Home~ [Still Earlier] Jumpman stretched his legs out as his clothes reverted to their original colors with a smile. "Yes, I have to keep myself ready just in case. That's why I do most of the food deliveries on foot. My wife and I have been raising our sons well...although Luigi seems to lack the same firey passion compared to myself and Mario. And you're welcome..that's what friends are for." Compile scratched her head with a smile. "Same old Genome, same old Jumpman. It's like nothing's changed." Jumpman nodded "Sorry though about Deco's little problem with the shrooms. I've heard that you've been taking care of her while your kid and her kid are living alone together in her place." Compile nodded with a hopeful outlook. "Hopefully I will get her to stop with the shrooms someday." Jumpman nodded again facing Lordgenome with a smirk. "Your talk about Spiral Power reminds me of my own power in a sense. I'm surprised at what it can do...although I am sorry for these two boys. I send my condolences and when you all get better you can all have dinner at my place, no charge." ~Wish Shop~ The girls collapsed to the floor feeling all of the pain in their bodies. With Nepgear leaning against her body Neptune struggled to move her head up as she was panting. "Hey...um.....I kind of have one more wish I'd like to make." Noire slowly moved her head over towards Neptune with tears of concern in her eyes. "Please...don't tear yourself up even more." Neptune ignored Noire's plea and spoke up. "Earlier in the day Kuro and I got into a fight with some bunny guy...or was it a rabbit. I'm not sure but I wish to simply know more about who he is." Vert slowly looked over at the key before looking over at Belle with tears in her eyes as she managed to hug her twin tightly. "You didn't have to do this alone...we could have helped you as well for Sei's sake." Pururut stared at Sasori with a rather serious look on her face. "I am not a party girl. I am Madame Goddess and what I am serious about is giving tough and painful love to people. Giving pain is what makes me happy, this also goes for some other things. You on the other hand have resisted everything I've thrown at you...looks like you'll be an interesting person to break." ~Abandoned Apartment~ Rock nodded and gently started petting Yastufasa's head as he explained with a smile. "Yes, Dr. Light created me, my siblings, and even our pets like Rush here. He could easily repair him back home." Shirobon looked up through the hole and stared at the ceiling. "When I get out of here I'm gonna head home. This has just been one crazy day." ~Heinz Mansion~ Ulala tapped her headset as she watched the conversation play out before her. "Hey Fuse, we have a problem." Fuse's voice patched through the headset. "What is it Ulala, is he not answering?" Ulala stared up at Komoi Yui and the other person that had arrived with a calm look in her eyes. "No, these people just said that Mr. Heinz doesn't live here." Turning her head toward the other person Ulala stepped forward with determination as she pointed her microphone at the person. "Excuse me, Ulala of Channel 5 news and Ulala's Swingin' Report Show. If Karl Heinz doesn't live here then can you tell us where he lives now?" ~Crow's House~ Now Mito took the water and calmly started to drink it as his blue eyes stared directly at the gasmask covering Clear's face. slightly choking on the rather Mito coughed before looking at Clear with apology shown on his face. "Sorry Clear-San, it's just that I've never actually seen someone who would wear a gasmask all the time. No offense to you or anything but you don't have to remove it because of me." ~Akihabra Distirct: Vector Industries~ Spoiler: BGM Overlooking Gadd Science was a tall black building with sleek glass tinted windows with a large logo near the top of the building, Inside the top office of the building the CEO was staring deeply at a strange green object that had two rings spinning about slowly with a small silver crystalized star directly at the heart of it. With red eyes staring the man calmly spoke up. "So, the S-Types and the Crystal Order had their first major defeat...just as predicted. However those two being the ones who defeated Astral was unforeseen. Major eyes will have to kept on these two players and see how they will affect the overall performance." The man's head turned towards the doorway where a cloaked figure in red stood covering his face with a matching mask. "Oh, so she's complete?" The red figure nodded and spoke in a calm serious tone. "Indeed, she is complete." "Good, deploy her on Friday. You know where she needs to go" "Agreed." It was then that the two figures looked out the window and stared at Gadd Science. ~Overlooking Mario Bros. House~ Geno stood on a tall building that directly faced the home of Mario and Luigi. Brown eyes calmly staring through the windows at Mario and Luigi as they were seemingly trying to teach Rosalina how to play video games. A smile went across his face as he calmly said to himself. "So the girl has fallen from the stars, this has become interesting. Take care of her you two...she's more than what she seems. As for you two there will be much more ahead as the dark secrets rise...be cautious " [END OF DAY] [Friday, April 12th, 2013] [Time: Early Morning before School] ~Nintendo High: Cooking Club~ "Alright! Attention everyone!" Yoshi shouted as he paced the tiled floors with the expression of an army sarge. Jerking around Yoshi slammed his fists onto the table causing the sleeping Kirby, Neptune, Mario, Luigi, and any other people to jolt awake almost immediately. "PAY ATTENTION!!!" Luigi looked around the room and scratched his head looking confused. "What am I doing here? I'm not even apart of this club!" Yoshi turned towards Luigi and grabbed him by the collar as he threw the taller brother out the door of the club. Yoshi stared back at the members of the club. "As you people may be aware, starting today the world famous chef Gordon Ramsey will be working in our school." Mario raised his hand. "Yes Mario?" "Isn't Gordon Ramsey that british guy on TV who yells at people cause they're incompetent chefs?" "Yes, that's him alright." Kirby looked around the room at everyone before turning towards the president. "Well sir, looks like we're all screwed then considering we've seen everyone cook up something." Yoshi placed his hand on his chin thinking as his blue eyes stared directly at Mario. "Not everyone, I haven't seen what Mario can do yet." Neptune blinked with surprise. "Wait, so you're saying...we let this new boy cook." "Yes Neptune. I've tried his father and mother's cooking and it was delicious. He has the potential my friend!" ~Nintendo High: Outside the Cooking Club~ Luigi had landed facefirst in the ground outside the door to the cooking club and had laid there like a dummy. Rosalina was staring down at the taller brother with a small smile on her face as she helped Luigi back onto his feet and stared up at the building before Luigi joined in staring at the tower with the early morning sun glistening off of the clock. "Hey, do you think I will do alright here?" Luigi looked at the blonde girl closely with a smile. "I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends here. After all you are a nice person." Rosalina turned towards Luigi smiling back with a more reassured outlook. "Thank you, and I'm sure you'll find a club and not get kicked out of it with your face in the ground." Luigi simply laughed aloud with a grin on his face. "Oh don't worry about me. I'm usually the butt-monkey anyway." Suddenly both of them heard a loud rumbling sound before they looked down at their stomachs. "Great, in the rush to get here when Yoshi called we didn't have breakfast. C'mon I'll take you to the canteen." "Okay, I trust you Luigi." And with that the two set off towards the canteen.
~Honnouiji Academy: Jumpman's determination!~ [Still earlier] Jumpman looked over at the little girl who had kindly asked for his help before smiling with cheer. "Sure I'll help you, your father and I go back. But that's not the point right now." He walked over to the beaten Lordgenome before he tried lifting the much larger man onto his back with both of his hands...however he could barely lift him. Gritting his teeth Papa started to lift with all of his might and willpower, his eyes showing deep concentration as sweat started to form in his brown hair. "Grrrrraaaaaah!" It was then that his clothes changed color and his eyes reverted into a glowing shade of yellow as he threw Lordgenome on his back and walked slowly out of the courtyard. After a few moments Jumpman arrived at Genome's car and slowly opened one of the back doors throwing the large guy in and sighed as he rose up cracking his back with the light shining on his white shirt and golden-yellow overalls. Jumpman got into the car and started it up with a smirk. "You might want to hang on for your life!" He slammed his foot onto the gas and sped off like an insane blue hedgehog down the same path of destruction Lordgenome had taken earlier. After a few minutes Papa had arrived at the border between Tokyo and Honno City only for his golden eyes to notice the wreckage of Lagann sitting right in the middle of the road. Slamming on the brakes hard Jumpman looked over at Nia and a stern look. "Stay here, I don't want you to get hurt out here while I'm trying to get your friends." Papa proceeded to step out of the car before walking over and pulled Kamina and Simon out of the wreck with a single though in mind. "Such fools, they almost got themselves killed out there trying to fight a person stronger than them...but...something was off." Carrying the two over Jumpman placed the two unconscious boys into the back of the car before opening the trunk and pulled out a rope tying it to the back of the car and onto Lagann. Jumpman quietly got into the car and sped off into Tyoko dragging Lagann behind him as he caused quite a bit of property damage along the way. "I have an old friend who is a doctor. Normally I'd do it but I'm not sure if my methods are legal." With crazy speed Jumpman drove directly past Yoshi's house before turning into the driveway of the house next door as he drove through the front yard and crashed into the wall. Jumping out quickly Papa ran to the door and kicked it down hard with his foot yelling in a panic. "Compile! Compile I need your help it's an emergency!" with Jumpman yelling a young blonde-haired woman with yellow rabbit ears looking dazed as her eyes slowly noticed the fact that her door was kicked down. With a shocked stern look Compile shouted "Oh what the hell! What did you do now Jumpman!?" Papa panted with embaressment. "Sorry, I needed your help since you're a doctor." "Huh? What happened?" Jumpman proceeded to quickly explain the events as he brought Simon, Kamina, and Lordgenome into the house. "..and then we got out of there and came to you." Compile looked at all three of them with concern before jokingly stating. "Looks like they got their asses kicked all right. But in all seriousness I will take a look at them and see what's wrong." "Thanks old friend." "Of course..anything for you, especially since it's a teacher you brought. Tell your wife I said hello. Now gimme a few minutes." ~A few minutes later~ Compile came out to face Jumpman and Nia with a sigh and gloom on her face. "Well, it looks like this Gamagori guy did a number on them. Genome has broken bones and quite a bit of blood lost trying to protect you two, as for the other two boys they also have broken bones and concussions. Seriously they were reckless and nearly lost their lives out there." Papa nodded with a frown. "That's what I thought when I found those two and their robot trashed at the boarder between Tokyo and that dreaded place of death." Compile looked out the window with concern showing in her face. "If what you are saying is true then I will have to make sure my Compa doesn't talk with those people."
~Honnouiji Academy: The Past collides with the Present Revolution!~ [Earlier] Spoiler: BGM Papa casually crossed his arms and looked up at Gamagori looking unphased before turning towards Satsuki with a joking grin. "Not sure who's louder, him or my son Mario. As for you Madame President your mother is one of my best customers at my pizza shop." It was then that his expression changed to a rather serious one. "No, your mother would be too nuts to even order from my place considering the way she acted." With that out of the way Papa made a leap forward landing directly in front of the podium pointing at Satsuki with a grin. "My name is Pa....no...my name is Jumpman! Nice idea for her to let her daughter run and bring back what essentially amounts to a torturous boot-camp of death just to stop the S-Types." Jumpman turned to face Lordgenome with a casual smile. "Hey there Genome! It's been awhile since I saw you...must have decided to follow me here."
~Wish Shop~ Neptune had calmly closed her eyes, an unsettled quietness overtaking her as the information went through. Her voice deepened as her eyes opened with purple staring directly at the dimensional witch. "We'll do it, we will take on the pain of everyone in Toshima. After all we should pay the price for falling into a trap and letting ourselves get captured." Nepgear blinked with a rather surprised expression on her face. "Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen you act mature about something as serious as this." The other girls were equally as surprised about Neptune's change of tone. "Like Shiro said...divide the price among us and we will be alright." It was then that the others slowly nodded in agreement with Noire giving a small smile. "I'm sure we can handle this." Pururut simply laughed in Sasori's face with a mocking tone "Who's the one that needs to be disciplined here? HA!" She calmly and casually walked over to where she was close to him with a sexy smile. "I will answer that question for you..." shortly before grabbing his face and planting her lips hard onto his, her arms gently wrapped around to where his back was before she dug her fingernails deep into his skin. "...you're the one who needs discipline." ~Shinjuku Central Park~ Garrus started to speak quickly into the radio. "We're going to wait until school resumes before going after that Soul Reaper. This way we will have a better idea on what we're dealing with." He then turned to face Tali and responded. "Just because there's a possible logical explanation for something doesn't mean that I don't have an imagination. After all we have probably tried to imagine what you look like behind that mask. Personally I think you have pointy ears." Wrex turned towards the turian with a deadpan expression. "Next thing you'll say that she's an elf and that she's secretly british." "No I'm not, infact neither of us have seen a quarian's face." ~Heinz Mansion~ The Astrobeat sped along before landing on the grounds right in front of the mansion with a gentle *plop*. Ulala and Noize started out of the Astrobeat before Fuse spoke up. "The broadcast will start when you can get a hold of him, we'll be cutting into the evening news feed so watch it out there. Don't forget, we're broadcasting across the whole galaxy." "Okay, we know that Fuse." With that noted Fuse proceeded to press some buttons on the controls as Ulala and Noize slowly approached the doors. The pink-haired reporter was rather calm as she grabbed the bronze door knocker and gently tapped it against the door. ~Abandoned Apartment~ With a calm and somewhat embaressed expression Rock waved his hands in front of his face. "Easy there, it doesn't have to turn violent. We'll start going to church." "Yeah, we'll go to chruch. Nothing's wrong with that" Bomberman explained as he he calmly spoke back to Satomi while trying to lift Rush's mangled body on his back. ~Crow's House~ Now the red-headed young boy looked at the strange gas-masked wearing individual who had presented himself before him with an expression of confusion within his blue eyes as they stared at him. A single word didn't even leave his lips as the thoughts of what had happened earlier. His gaze then went from Clear to Pino and to Crow. With a gulp of hesitation Mito spoke up quietly. "U-um, I just want a glass of water...that is if you have any." ~Earlier that Day: Mario Bros.' House/Tokyo Streets: 武装スクールゾーンを襲撃！男が行くジャンプ行く!~ Standing on the roof of his home/business a lone man watched the spectacle of shaking and lights that were noticable. His blue eyes focusing on the situation as the light shined on his yellow shirt and blue overalls. Papa had a stern look on his face with a feeling of dread as he jumped off of the top of the building and proceeded to land on the pavement of the road before speeding with a dangerous look on his face. "Not them again...anything but them." He quickly sped up, jumped, and ran as fast as he possibly could before his eyes were meeting face to face with the oncoming Honnouiji Academy on the horizon. Papa went to a screeching halt as he stood before the large gates leading directly to the courtyard. Staring up at the large gate he simply smirked and started bending his legs. "Well, this will be the first time I've jumped this gate..let's see if old Jumpman's still got it." Papa walked backwards a few feet and looked at the gate before running at it. With a small jump Papa started to run up the wall before making a long jump up the wall and spin-jumped into the air landing on top of the wall with his hands. Quickly getting onto his feet Papa jumped off the roof and landed onto the courtyard looking directly headon at Satsuki before starting to walk over with his arms crossed smirking. "Well, it's been awhile since I heard of the name Kiryuuin. I could hear your mouth from all the way home."
Reserving Cynthia [Pokémon] Rez [Gex]
~Wish Shop~ The eight girls looked at each other for a minute before they all turned towards Neptune with a "go on ahead" kind of expression. "Me? You want me to make the wish?" "Yes, we all do. It makes more sense if you did it" Noire crossed her arms looking away with a sort of cross expression. "Agreed even though it's Neptune we're talking about here." Blanc then turned her head towards the taller raven-haired female with anger on her face as she jabbed Noire's shoulder with a small fist. "Dammit Noire! This isn't about Neptune doing it. We all had the same thought!" with a sigh Blanc spoke quietly. "Go on ahead Neptune." Neptune quietly nodded and spoke up with a smile on her face. "We wish that everyone who was hurt in Toshima would get better and be alright." "Eh...close enough Neptune." Pururut just smirked as she danced around uncontrollibly. "Kill me? You have to be joking!" She then went into a hearty laugh. "Do you really think mere poison could take the life of a goddess? You're out of your mind." Her lips went into a small sexual smile. "You're rather bold if you think you could even dominate over the queen, little boy. You could use some discipline." Pururut struggled to move her arm to grab her weapon. ~Shinjuku Central Park~ "You'll get used to it after a while Nihlus. Let's just say quite a lot has happened while you were gone to the point some things I've done would sound impossible to accomplish." Shepard explained before she started her car and drove off away from the park. Garrus crossed his arms before leaning back against a tree looking into the sky. "This is Shepard we're talking about here. I doubt it's what we're all thinking considering what happened to Nihlus to start with." Wrex looked at everyone with a grin on his face. "Yeah yeah, we already know Saren shot the guy in the back and killed him in cold blood. You don't have to repeat it again Vakarian." Garrus turned to face the krogan with simple logistics running through his mind. "What? I'm saying that considering what has happened to him I figured Shepard would try to help him out in a situation like his." ~Astrobeat~ "Yeah thanks." Fuse said aloud looking surprised as he wondered how they got on-board just as Ulala and Noize arrived stepping within the confines of the white and light-blue ship. Clasping his hands together Fuse proceeded to start the thrusters and prepared for launch. "Well, this looks like just as any good of a time to try out the funkilicious modifications Noize and I made to her." Ulala raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Modifications?" "You'll see" The Astrobeat proceeded to blast out of the hangar and into the starry night skies of Tokyo. "Okay, activating the new lighting system...now" Noize exclaimed as he pressed a button near the controls. On the outside blue lights proceeded to turn on showing a glowing blue Channel 5 logo on the sides of the ship along with other blue lights placed on the ship itself as it flew off towards its destination. ~Crystal Order HQ: ASIC~ Astral-S nodded as it took the branding iron in its hands. "Certainly, although I have never done this personally before." It first sent the white hot branding Iron directly onto the stomach of CFW Trick sending the large pedophilic...thing into a scream as the rest of ASIC saw an identifing mark of the Crystal Order's logo on the stomach. The proceedure went pretty much the same way as Judge and Brave were branded on the torso followed by Pirachu getting the brand on his stomach making all three scream in pain. Turning around Astral-S proceeded to brand the back of Linda and Magic's hands before finally ending the initiation by branding the back of Arfoire's hand making the Deity of Sin cringe in pain but didn't scream. "Welcome to the Crystal Order my friends." Astral-S quietly handed the branding iron back to Al Mualim. ~Abandoned Apartment~ Bomberman stood up and looked at Satomi as he was lecturing the still and motionless Rock who was in disbelief. Shirobon stepped in front of Megaman and gently pushed him back as the blue robot took the phone with an expression of frustration on his face. "I don't know where you're getting the idea from but how were either of us supposed to know there were demons behind the door. All we heard was an explosion and came running down here to check it out. Also I nor the rest of my species worship a higher being on account of the fact that we'd probably get run out of chruch because we can make bombs, not sure about Megaman though on account of being a robot made by Dr. Light." Rock meanwhile proceeded to make a call before it was picked up. "Oh? Hello there Mr. Satomi." "No Dr. Light, it's me" "Oh, sorry about that Rock. It just came up like that." "Listen, I'm down here in one of the abandoned apartments. I'm not entirely sure how to explain what happened here but a turian managed to damage and knock Rush out of the sky." "Just try to explain as clearly as you can." Rock then proceeded to explain the events prior to what happened. Dr. Light sighed. "So there's a turian after Commander Shepard and you and Shirobon unknowingly released demons from a sealed door just to get said turian out." "Yes, that's all true." "Hmm, try to get out of that area. I'll send someone to help you out." "Alright." Dr. Light then ended the call as Rock handed the phone back.
