~The Alps Mountain Range~ "Brrr.... are we there yet?" Rini asked, shivering as she continued following Mewtwo. Eventually, the two found a castle in the distance, surprising Rini. "Is that a... castle?" Rini wondered aloud as the two headed towards the castle. "He is there," Mewtwo commented, "I can sense his presence." Once close to the castle, the two noticed a sign that read: Castle Oblivion Where to Find is to Lose, and to Lose is to Find STAY OUT! "Find is to lose, and to lose is to find... what does that mean?" Rini wondered aloud as she read the sign, "Guess the castle's called 'Castle Oblivion'." Using his psychic powers, Mewtwo caused the entrance doors to open, entering the castle with Rini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Connor's Home~ As Connor and Achilles were having lunch in the dinner table, while listening to the news from the TV, Achilles commented, "This year's election for prime minster sure is something, isn't it?" "I, uh... got something today," Connor said, hoping to finally break the news to Achilles that he was accepted into Tokyo University. "Oh? Do tell," Achilles replied. Walking over to his backpack and taking out the envelope that contained his letter of acceptance, Connor handed it to Achilles, who opened it and started reading the contents of the letter. "It's great news, isn't it?" Connor said. "No it's not," Achilles replied without any enthusiasm as he put the letter away, "You shouldn't be going to a place like Tokyo University. You should aim for places like Oxford, Yale, or Harvard!" "Achilles... barely anyone gets into those places. Hell, I consider myself lucky that TU accepted me!" Connor retorted. "Connor, I will not accept the fact that you'll be going to an average man's university," Achilles said, "You are going to forget about Tokyo University, and focus on trying to apply to prestigious colleges that'll actually give you an excellent education. That is final!" "Oh, so now I have live my life the way you want, Achilles?!" Connor angrily questioned Achilles. "As long as you live with me, boy, you follow my rules!" Achilles retorted, "Whatever I say, goes! Understand?!" "Who are you to tell me where to go to continue my education, Achilles?! You're not my father!" Connor yelled. After nearly a minute of silence from the two, Achilles replied, "No... I'm not your father... but you and I both know who your father is and what he does. Would you rather have him telling you how to live your life?" Without answering, Connor instead stormed off, heading outside to get some fresh air. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Hallway~ The dust from Sailor Moon's wand successfully reached Star, causing her to cry in pain as she reverted back to her original form... Back to her normal self, Star collapsed to the ground as all the vines and web in the area disintegrated, freeing all those who were captive. "You did it, Sailor Moon!" Anais cheered. "It worked! It actually worked!" Marco added, figuring that Sailor Moon's attack was the kind of 'powerful magic' that Glossaryck told him would be able to change Star back to herself. Spoiler: BGM "Ohhh... my head..." Star groaned as she got up, "What happened?" "Star!" Marco cried as he rushed towards Star and hugged her, "You're alright!" Surprised to see Marco hugging her, Star simply smiled and hugged him as well. Now free from the web that trapped him, Tuxedo Mask got up, and smiled as he saw Star and Marco sharing a hug. Walking over to Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask said, "Well done, Sailor Moon. Your heroic deed has saved their friendship from potentially ending in tragedy." Just then, Tuxedo Mask had a thought that he wasn't sure how to explain, yet for some reason, just came to him by being around Sailor Moon. "Sailor Moon, if you don't mind, can the two of us have a word, in private?" Tuxedo Mask asked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flashback: May 1987 - Australian Outback~ OOC: @NutheadBros has given me permission to use Astral for this segment. "I have to say... you're quite strong for someone without any powers," Astral commented as it collapsed, backing away from Al Mualim as he slowly walked towards the S-type leader while carrying his two katanas. Upon reaching Astral, Al Mualim placed his right foot at Astral's face, pinning the S-type in place, saying, "Your life ends now, Astral." "W-wait," Astral pleaded, "It doesn't have to end this way! Is this what you do to creatures who are only trying to defend themselves?!" "You say 'defend'. However, all I've seen from your kind is nothing but destruction," Al Mualim replied. "Oh, who am I kidding," Astral said to itself as Al Mualim was about to deliver the final blow, "I should've expected such attitude coming from a citizen of Earth. After all, your whole planet is full of discrimination, bigotry, and racism. We S-types are just another race for you to pick on." As Al Mualim swung his katana towards Astral's face, Astral's last words regarding Earth society suddenly struck a nerve with the Nintendo High principal, causing him to stop right before the tip of his blade reached Astral. "What did you just say?" Al Mualim asked. Surprised to see Al Mualim stop, Astral replied, "Whether you hate to admit it or not, Earth as a whole has always had groups that were picked on, isn't that right? Conduits, non-humans, you name it. Not to mention some countries in this planet have laws that make it almost impossible for individuals from two groups to meet with one another. I believe there was something like that in some countries called a, ummm... Statute of Secrecy? And none of this is even taking into account those who live in poverty." As much as Al Mualim hated to admit it, Astral was making a bit of sense. Nevertheless, he believed that didn't change the fact that the two of them were enemies, asking, "What does that have to do with our battle with you S-types?" "Heh, don't you see?" Astral questioned Al Mualim, "You fight us S-types under the pretense that you are protecting the citizens of Earth. Yet I ask... do you mean EVERY citizen of Earth, or just those that matter... depending on which part of the world you're in of course, hehe. And here we S-types are, arriving on Earth to retrieve the Relic only so that it isn't used to destroy us, as well as trying to locate our lost siblings that are scattered across the world in their crystal forms. Yet all you do is fight us when, in reality, all we need is the Relic and locating our lost siblings, nothing more. We never had any interest in spilling so much blood. That, I'm afraid, was the result of Earthlings resorting to irrational fears about us, and doing whatever they can to stop us." After pondering Astral's words for a bit, Al Mualim backed away a bit, saying, "I'll admit, you do make some good points, Astral." As he thought more and more on Astral's words, he suddenly started to remember Umbridge, causing him to shed a tear. "Oh, I know that look," Astral said as it got up, "You're suffering from a broken heart, aren't you? What was her name?" "Dolores," Al Mualim replied, "Dolores Umbridge." "What happened?" Astral asked. "She left Japan to go back to her home country and work in the Ministry of Magic over there," Al Mualim replied, "Which means..." "The Statute of Secrecy..." Astral correctly guessed as Al Mualim nodded, "If it's any consolation, I am truly sorry to hear that. To have your love taken away from you like that... must feel truly awful." "The more I think about it, the more I am starting to believe that the world would be a much better place if discrimination and corruption never existed," Al Mualim commented, "No segregation, no wars... no laws like the Statute of Secrecy. A world where everyone is equal, embraces one another... and an individual can be with the one they love no matter what..." "I admire your vision for a better Earth," Astral replied, "But I'm afraid, simply on your own, you won't be able to make such a change to the world." "You're right. I can't do it alone," Al Mualim said, "But that does not have to be the case..." It was in that moment that Al Mualim and Astral then took the first steps into forming an alliance into what would eventually become the Crystal Order...

~The Alps Mountain Range~ Arriving by teleportation, Rini and Mewtwo found themselves in a snowy mountain range. "Brrr... where are we?" Rini asked as she shivered from the cold. "The Alps," Mew replied, "It was here that I last saw Discord." "And you sure he's still around here?" Rini asked. As he closed his eyes, Mewtwo began to use his psychic powers to sense if Discord was anywhere near. Once he felt something, Mewtwo opened his eyes, replying, "He is here." "Alright... let's go look for him," Rini said as she followed Mewtwo, hoping to find Discord as soon as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~???~ As Savage Oppress watched Johnny Cage and Cassie challenge Shinnok, he whispered to Vergil, "The actor and his daughter must be mad to challenge Shinnok in his current state. Still, I am curious to see how this will progress." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Connor's Home~ "Achilles, I'm home!" Connor announced as he returned home, smelling something good coming from the kitchen, "What are you making?" "Fried chicken," Achilles replied as he stepped out of the kitchen, "How was school?" "It was okay," Connor said as he went to his room. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Courtroom 4~ "Case closed," Murdock commented after the events that transpired. "Osha, Oshawott?" Foggy asked Matt. "Yes, Foggy. I've made up my mind, especially with how Mr. Wright acted," Matt replied to his Pokemon, "I'm gonna offer him a job at our law firm." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Channel 4 News Station - Ron Burgundy's Office~ As Ron was getting ready to anchor the news in a few minutes, he was reading an e-mail with with Champ Kind, mentioning the recent news of Florent L'Belle. "Huh, can you believe it, Champ?" Ron asked, "Florent L'Belle, executive assistant of Harold Saxon, was found guilty of a two month old murder. Now the Saxon campaign has immediately disavowed L'Belle." "Florent L'Belle? I think I might've made out with him once," Champ Kind commented. "What?!" a surprised Ron questioned. "Nothing," Kind replied. "Well... better get ready," Ron said as he got up from his seat. Just then, he heard his cell phone ring, and took out of his pocket, noticing it was his home phone, and figured it was his Lillipup was calling him. "Hello," Ron said as he answered his phone, "Uh-huh... uh-huh... uh-huh... ookay, I'll be there when I'm done." As Ron hung up, he began to scream enthusiastically, "OH, MY GOD!!!" "What? What is it, Ron?" Champ Kind questioned. "It's Doby! He evolved into a Sharpedo after feeding him nothing but rare candy!" Ron replied with more screaming. "Wow, Ron... that's great news! I'm happy for you, man!" Champ said as he and Ron hugged. But as the two hugged they felt a third person join them in hugging. Ron and Champ then noticed Brick Tamland was the one who joined them in hugging... "Brick.. what are you doing?" Ron asked. "I just really like hugging others," Brick replied. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo University - Parking Lot~ Spoiler: Flashback in Al Mualim's Mind ~May 1987 - Al Mualim's Home~ Spoiler: BGM It's been two days since Umbridge left Japan for good, and Al Mualim hasn't been taking it well at all. Staring at the engagement ring he originally bought for her in the palm of his hand, the Nintendo High School was collecting his thoughts. His feelings constantly shifted from sadness at never being able to see Umbridge after years of knowing her, to anger at the Statute of Secrecy that people like Umbridge have to follow while in the U.K. 'This isn't fair... none of this is fair...' Al Mualim thought to himself. He then began to realize that it wasn't just the U.K. that had such laws. Al Mualim remembered that in his own country of Japan, Conduits faced discrimination and segregation for years until the Civil Rights movement. Even then, Conduits were still prone to prejudice. And there were many, many more similar examples throughout the world. And the more that Al Mualim thought about them, the more he became angry. The principal then snapped as he threw the engagement ring into the wall. Getting up, he kicked the chair he was sitting on, and flipped the table in front of him, breaking them both. Al Mualim then angrily smashed any vases or glass plates he was displaying. As the floor piled up with broken glass, Al Mualim, still in a fit of rage, screamed as he smashed his face into the wall again and again. As he kept doing what he was doing, Al Mualim's face began to bleed, but that didn't stop him from continuing inflicting pain on himself. Eventually, Al Mualim finally stopped, and collapsed to the floor, breaking in tears. As he kept weeping from the immense sadness he was feeling, he heard his telephone ring. Slowly getting up, Al Mualim picked up the telephone, calmly answering, "Yes?" He was then told by the caller that the S-types were sighted, including Astral. "Very well," Al Mualim replied as he hung up. Getting up, he walked over to get his katanas. And if Astral truly was sighted, then Al Mualim intended to finish off the S-type leader once and for all, even if it meant killing himself in the process, as nothing mattered to him anymore. As Al Mualim shed a tear while riding a taxi, remembering a very painful part of his life, he noticed that the taxi driver was calling out to him. "Sir? Sir? We're here," the driver said. "Oh, terribly sorry," Al Mualim replied as he took out money and paid him. "No problem," the driver said as Al Mualim got out of the car. Looking at the area in front of him, Al Mualim found himself in Tokyo University, where the Harold Saxon campaign was spending the night of Election Day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~A.I.M. Building: Rooftop~ Spoiler: BGM Thor, Loki, Luna, Vanellope, and Xion were enjoying their time as they sat down at the rooftop of the A.I.M. building, waiting for the sunset, and eating sea-salt ice-cream, while discussing random events. "Okay, now to address the elephant in the room... can we all agree not to say a word about the election while we're here?" Xion asked her friends. "Agreed," the others replied. "Good," Xion replied, "So Loki, ready for your concert tomorrow?" "Yes," Loki replied, "Just need to keep practicing." "Well, I'm glad I got my ticket to it last week," Vanellope commented, "Anyone not have a ticket?" Thor and Xion both shook their heads, while Luna replied, "Got mine. I look forward to showing my support." "Yes, I'll be joined by my parents as well," Thor added, "We can't wait to see you perform live with the rest of the Music students, Loki." "Thank you, my friends," Loki replied as he took a bite of his sea-salt ice-cream. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Hallway~ As the males who were trapped were watching the battle, Neku tried to reach for the CAT pins in his pocket, hoping to help out. But as he took them out, he accidentally dropped them, and watched as they rolled towards a nearby floor drain, and fell into it. "No!" Neku cried as his CAT pins were seemingly gone for good. "Seriously, Phones? We're trapped by a monster and all youse worried about are some damn CAT pins?" Beat questioned Neku. "There not- ugh, whatever," Neku replied, as he kept watching the battle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Hallway (Again)~ "Boy!" Star exclaimed as Dante tried distracting her, shooting a web from one of her hands towards Dante. But just as the web reached Dante, Rei's charm landed on Star's shoulder, causing her to stay in place. "You did it, Sailor Mars!" Anais cheered. However, despite remaining in place, Star was still able to shoot webs from her other five hands towards Sam, Dean, Billy, Sirius, and Thomas, trying to slowly drag them (plus Dante) towards her while saying, "Boooy...." "Oh no, you don't!" Tuxedo Mask exclaimed, using his cane to slice the webs that were attached to Sam and Dean. Noticing what Tuxedo Mask did, Star used her two free hands to shoot webs at Tuxedo Mask, covering him in more web than the other four. "Tuxedo Mask!" Marco cried as he rushed to him while he was being dragged by Star, trying to tear the web that had trapped him. "I'll help out!" Anais added as she tried helping Marco tear the web apart from Tuxedo Mask.
Depends. Sometimes it takes me a minute or two... and sometimes an hour (thanks to phone distraction).
~Viridian Forest~ As part of her sentence, Yzma was forced to alternate between jail time and assisting Kronk in his new job as camp counselor (much to her annoyance). And on this particular day, Kronk was teaching kids how to speak in the language of Pichus, with Pichu Big and Pichu Little sitting on Kronk's shoulders to monitor the progress of the kids. "'My oran berry is missing,'" Kronk said, waiting for the kids (and Yzma) to translate the phrase into Pichu talk. "Pich, pich, pich, pichu," the kids correctly answered. "'Did you eat the oran berry?'" Kronk added. "Pichu, pich, pich, pichu?" the kids answered correctly once again. "'You owe me a new oran berry,'" Kronk said. "Pichu, pichu, pichu," the kids replied, stopping short of the last word to translate because they noticed that Yzma wasn't even participating, crossing her arms in annoyance instead. One of the kids then nudged her to indicate that she had to participate as well. Sighing, Yzma reluctantly translated the final word in Kronk's last phrase, saying, "Pichu..." "I'm so proud of you guys," Kronk happily said as he and the Pichu brothers teared up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Alleyway~ As she sent a text message to Ikuko Tsukino, telling her that she would be late, Rini looked around to see if Mewtwo arrived yet. "Ready?" Mewtwo's voice asked Rini from behind her... Turning around, Rini found Mewtwo right behind her, replying, "Yup." Mewtwo then extended his paw to Rini, who held on to his paw. "Let's go find Discord," Rini said as she and Mewtwo teleported away from the area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Arendelle~ "And you certainly will, Anna," Demande replied, bowing down to her and her sister as he got back inside the limo, followed by Nephrite. "Till tomorrow, Anna, Elsa," Saphir added, looking at Elsa for a bit, blushing before getting inside the limo. The limo then drove away shortly after, with Hans and Olaf waving goodbye. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shining Armor's and Cadance's Home~ As everyone was eating cake and socializing with one another, Cadance approached Skye, asking, "Mind if I join you?" "Not at all," Skye replied as she scooched over to allow Cadance to sit next to her in the couch, "I'm really happy for you and Shining. You two are going to be great parents." "Thanks, Skye," Cadance thanked Skye, "It really means a lot to me to hear that. By the way... Shining told me about what you found out today regarding your parentage... I truly am sorry." "It's... fine," Skye replied, "I've learned to accept that some things weren't meant to be." "It's just, to live your life without knowing who your parents were, or to find out unfortunate things about them... such a life is a very rough one to live through," Cadance said, "But just know that Shining Armor considers you to be a part of his family, as he does with the rest of his team." "I know," Skye replied, "Shining... Kai... heh, even Kevin Flynn, have all looked out for me in ways I'd expect a parent would. And I'm thankful for individuals like them." "Speaking of family... Shining and I had a discussion, and... we've made a decision, and would like for you, Skye, to be our child's godmother," Cadance told Skye. Surprised by what Cadance just said, Skye asked, "Wait... are you serious?" Nodding, Cadance smiled as she replied, "You'll be a great godmother, Skye." "Wow... Cadance, I, uh... don't know what to say... thank you," Skye happily said as she and Cadance shared a hug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Flashback: May 1987 - Dolores Umbridge's Apartment in Tokyo, Japan~ "So... how are things at Nintendo High School?" Umbridge asked as she and Al Mualim were having dinner. "Oh, the usual," Al Mualim replied, "S-types have yet to make an appearance this year." "I see..." Umbridge said as she stared at her soup silently. "Dolores... is something wrong?" Al Mualim asked, wondering why she was acting the way she was. Getting up from her seat, Umbridge walked over to a table where a letter that was mailed to her was located. Grabbing the letter, Umbridge walked back to the dinner table, and handed Al Mualim the letter. As he read the letter, Al Mualim's heart sank as he read that Umbridge's father passed away. "Dolores... I'm... I'm so sorry..." Al Mualim said as Umbridge broke down in tears. Getting up, Al Mualim hugged her as she continued to weep. "Is there... anything I can do?" Al Mualim asked. "No," Umbridge replied as she stopped crying, wiping away her tears, "But now that you're here, there is something I have to tell you." "What is it?" Al Mualim asked. Sighing, Umbridge said, "Before he died... my father always said that he wanted me to work at the Ministry of Magic back home. It was... his dying wish that I work there. And... I feel... that I must do it. Al Mualim, I have to go back to England. I can't stay in Japan any longer." As he was shocked to hear what Umbridge said about leaving Japan, Al Mualim couldn't imagine life without her, and figured that if she were leaving, then he would have to follow her. "Very well, Dolores. I'll move to the United Kingdom as well," Al Mualim said. "What?! No, you can't!" Umbridge replied. "Don't worry about me," Al Mualim said, "I'm more than ready to resign from my position at Nintendo High School if it means being with you." "It's not that!" Umbridge retorted, "The bloody Statute of Secrecy will make it virtually impossible for the two of us to keep seeing each other so long as I am inside British territory!" "W-we can find a way... I'm sure we can still find a way to make it work!" Al Mualim pleaded. As tears trickled down her cheeks, Umbridge said, "I'm sorry Al Mualim... but there's no way to go around it. I'm afraid this is... goodbye..." After nearly a minute of silence, Al Mualim began to accept that there really was nothing he could do, and that this may indeed be the last time he sees Umbridge. "Then... in that case... I truly cherished every moment we shared, Dolores. I will never forget them for as long as I live," Al Mualim said. "Neither will I, my love," Umbridge replied as she tried to smile, sharing a hug with Al Mualim possibly for the last time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School - Hallway~ Spoiler: BGM View attachment 44598 ~Star Butterfly (Mewberty Form)~ "Thanks," Anais thanked Tommy as he placed her somewhere safe. And as Tommy and Thomas tried to distract Star, she stopped covering Marco with her webbing, instead shifting her focus to the two, saying, "Boy..." As Star flew towards them to trap them in a web like the other boys, he noticed the attacks coming at her by Kimberly and Ron, barely dodging them. Breaking out of the web Star trapped him in, Marco pleaded to the Rangers, Riders, and Sailor Scouts, "Don't hurt her! She's can't control herself!" Shooting a web into a classroom door, Star easily pulled it out, and began swinging it to deal with any female trying to stop her. "Star, DON'T!" Marco pleaded to his friend, but the door she was swinging was about to him when suddenly, someone quickly got him out of the way. "Are you okay?" a voice asked Marco. Looking up to see who saved him, Marco noticed it was a young man in a tuxedo wearing a mask... "Uh, yeah, thanks, um..." Marco replied, not sure of his savior's name. "You can just call me Tuxedo Mask," Tuxedo Mask told Marco, "I have to help the others." Looking at Serena/Sailor Moon, Star Butterfly decided to finish her off first, and swung the door to her direction. However, Tuxedo Mask sent a rose towards the web Star was using to swing the door, with the rose slicing the web with its sharp stem, and the door crashing into the ceiling instead. "Not so fast, you monster!" Tuxedo Mask exclaimed as he stood between Star and Sailor Moon, "Sailor Moon, are you alright?"
Say the most outrageous statements you could possibly think of, such as promising to build a wall around the school, or banning all non-Canadians from further registering as students. Works for this guy...
OOC: Events at Nintendo High School have been skipped ahead to the end of the school day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Nintendo High School~ "Well, another day... another trip to Scrooge McDuck's Ice Cream Shoppe for some sea-salt ice-cream," Loki commented as he, Thor, and their friends exited Nintendo High School after the end of the school day. "Ice-cream's on me for today, guys," Vanellope said, "My treat." "Thanks, Vanellope," Xion thanked her friend. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Island Off of Porta Vista - Swimming Pool~ Spoiler: BGM Over in Pacha's island was a pool party that Pacha invited Kuzco to, celebrating the recently opened Kuzcotopia Conservation Center in the island. Silver and his Chikorita were barbecuing burgers, Chica was putting sunscreen on Tipo and Chaca while carrying her and Pacha's newborn baby, and the rest of the island's residents (many of whom work in the conservation center) were swimming and enjoying themselves. "Ha, boom baby!" Kuzco exclaimed as he came out of the men's restroom near the pool after putting on his swim trunks by kicking the door open... "Ha, boom baby!" Pacha exclaimed as well, doing the exact same thing as Kuzco did, but from his home... Both Pacha and Kuzco then ran towards the pool, with Kuzco sliding down a slide to the pool, playing with the others who were swimming. As for Pacha, he jumped into the pool by doing a cannon ball, splashing everyone in the pool. Meanwhile, near the pool, a guy with a microphone started to sing... [Theme Song Guy] You'd be the coolest dude in the nation Or the hippest cat in creation *After swimming a bit, Kuzco steps out of the pool, and dries himself with a towel* [Theme Song Guy] But if you ain't got friends then nothing's worth the fuss *Chica then hands Kuzco a poncho for him that she made recently.* [Theme Song Guy] A perfect world will come to be When everybody here can see *After putting on the poncho, Kuzco notices the poncho had a picture of a llama on the front, which he thought was a really nice touch, thanking Chica with a hug. The rest of those in the party then join together for a group hug as well* [The Song Guy] That a perfect world begins and ends A perfect world begins and ends A perfect world begins and ends with... [Everyone] Us! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flashback: May 1987 - Outside Dolores Umbridge's Apartment in Tokyo, Japan~ As he knocked on Umbridge's door, Al Mualim waited as he was carrying a bouquet of flowers for Dolores, looking forward to having dinner with her tonight, and hoping to pop the question to her during dinner. As she unlocked her door, Dolores looked at Al Mualim with a strangely somber look on her face... "Al Mualim..." Umbridge greeted her visitor. "Good evening, Dolores," Al Mualim replied as he handed her the bouquet, "These are for you." "Th-thank you," Umbridge replied, "Please... come in." Nodding, Al Mualim entered Umbridge's apartment, wondering why she sounded rather depressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Highway in Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.~ "Thanks, Nick," Judy replied as she got off the motorcycle and walked towards the burglars and their damaged car, "Alright, crooks, you got no where else to run!" The burglars then got out of their car, all shaken from the crash, holding their hands up high as a sign of surrender, with one of them saying, "Okay, okay, you got us, officer!" Grinning, Hopps contacted police headquarters with her radio, saying, "This is Officer Judy Hopps happy to report that the bank burglars have willingly surrendered." "Copy that, Officer Hopps," a voice in the radio replied, "Reinforcements will be arriving to your location shortly." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Arendelle~ As Demande continued waiting with Hans and Olaf, he saw Saphir and Nephrite finally heading towards them... "There you are, Saphir, Nephrite," Demande greeted his brother and butler, "Aren't Elsa and Anna coming to say goodbye?" Shrugging, Hans replied, "Maybe they're busy with something?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shining Armor's and Cadance's Home~ Opening the door to her home as she was carrying around groceries with her magic, Cadance entered her dark living room, closing the door behind her and locking it. As she switched the lights on, she was met by a big surprise in the form of her husband and his J.I.A. gang with a cake and a banner on the wall saying 'Congratulations'... "Surprise!" Shining Armor and the others yelled as confetti was thrown around. As for Cadance, she was certainly surprised by the scene, asking, "Shining... w-what's going on?" "Isn't it obvious?" Shining Armor replied as he approached his wife and gave her a kiss, "We're all celebrating the fact that you and I are gonna be parents." "R-really?" Cadance asked as she placed the groceries on the floor. "Yup," Simmons replied. "Congratulations you two," Fitz added. "Wow, I uh... don't know what to say," Cadance said as she blushed, "Thank you, everyone... Simmons, Fitz, May, Alan, Skye, and... umm, who are you two?" As Cadance wondered who Hiro and Baymax were, Baymax approached the pony, telling her, "Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. I could give an estimate of when you will be giving birth to your offspring. Would you mind telling me when your offspring was conceived by se-" "OKAY! I think that's enough, Baymax," Hiro exclaimed as he pushed Baymax aside before the robot could ask a question that would've embarrassed him, "Sorry about Baymax, Cadance. He wasn't programmed to know what should and shouldn't be private. Anyway, I'm Hiro Hamada. I'm a new intern at the J.I.A. working under the supervision of Fitz." "Oh, so you're Hiro?" Cadance asked as she shook Hiro's hand with her hoof, "Shining has said great things about you. And that Microbot project you did, I was really impressed from what I heard." "Aww, thanks," Hiro replied as he blushed. "Okay, so now that the surprise and introductions are taken care of, can we have cake already?" Alan asked. "Of course," Shining armor replied, "Come on everybody, dig in!" Everyone (apart from the robot, Baymax) then rushed to the cake to get a slice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order - Infirmary~ Spoiler: BGM "Hmph, looks like a piece of junk if you ask me," Starlight Glimmer commented as she noticed the image. "I don't know, Starlight... I personally think it looks rather interesting," Shay said as he disagreed with the pony, "Could it be from the same dimension the S-types came from?" "Beats me," Jadeite replied, shrugging. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo Elementary - Parking Lot~ As Ms. Frizzle's bus landed in the parking lot, Nintendo Elementary's dismissal bell rang, indicating the end of the school day. "Alright, everyone... that's it for today," Clara told all the students as they exited the bus, "Enjoy your evening!" As students were either going to another bus to be taken home, waiting for someone to pick them up, or simply walking back home, Sammy approached Rini, asking her, "Hey Rini, wanna walk back home with me?" "Actually Sammy, I wanna hang out with my friends a bit, so I'm gonna be a little late," Rini lied to Sammy, "I'll text Auntie Ikuko." "Alright. See you later," Sammy replied as he left. Turning around, Rini noticed Bonnie, Pipsqueak, and Sweetie Belle waiting to be picked up. "Hey, Rini!" Bonnie called out to her friend, "Not gonna go with Sammy today?" "Actually, I was going to buy something from the store first before I go back home," Rini lied. "Okay then... we'll see you tomorrow, Rini," Sweetie Belle replied. "Sure. Bye, guys!" Rini said as she walked away, waving to her friends. "Bye!" Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak all replied as they too waved goodbye. As she kept walking and walking, Rini found the exact alleyway where she and Mewtwo promised to meet earlier. Looking around to make sure no one noticed her, Rini headed towards the alleyway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Nintendo High School (Again)~ "So, going to pick up your sister?" Manon asked Clemont as they left the school. "Yup," Clemont replied, "Anyway, if you're still having trouble with Algebra, be sure to text me. I'll do what I can to help you out." "Sure thing, Clemont," Manon replied, "See ya later!" "Leemo!" Harry added as he and Manon waved goodbye to Clemont while they walked the other way, with Clemont smiling and waving back as he headed to Nintendo Elementary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Nintendo High School (Again x2)~ "Gonna tell Achilles the good news about TU once you get home?" Dick asked Connor as they left with Katniss, Rue, and Ritchie. "You bet," Connor replied. "Well I'm sure he'll be happy to hear about it," Ritchie commented as he diverted away from the group, "Anyway, see you guys tomorrow!" "Pikachu!" Sparky added as he waved goodbye while seated on Ritchie's backpack. "We better get going too," Rue said as she and Katniss turned and headed in the direction towards District 12. "Bye, Dick, Connor," Katniss added as she waved goodbye. "Pikapika!" Haymitch added, waving goodbye. "And then there were two," Dick told Connor as they were waving goodbye to their friends, "Come on, man. Let's go." Nodding, Connor followed Dick as the two walked back home. Meanwhile... Vanitas watched as Rue and Katniss headed home. Grinning, he began to follow them on his motorcycle while trying to not attract their attention. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Hallway~ As Neku was heading towards the exit to go home, he stopped in front of the locker where Star Butterfly was originally hiding. But instead if a locker, Neku's attention was focused on a giant heart-shaped cocoon that formed right where Star was. Confused by the appearance of the cocoon, Neku goes up to it and touches the cocoon. A silhouette of a hand then suddenly appeared from the inside on the cocoon. "Whoa!" Neku cried as he backed away, surprised by the hand's appearance. Just then, a silhouette of five more hands appeared. A full silhouette of Star Butterfly then appeared inside the cocoon, with six arms and heart-shaped eyes. The cocoon then began to crack, and burst open, with Star (now purple-skinned) landing on the floor, stretching insect-like wings that appeared on her back. Star then began to hover in the air, with her hair forming into two braids... As Neku watched in shock, Star stared at Neku below her, grinning as she descended towards him, creepily saying, "Boy...!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Cooking Club~ As Chef Ramsay and the Swedish Chef were waiting for the members of the Cooking Club to arrive, they both heard a boy screaming in fear outside. "What the hell?" Chef Ramsay wondered out loud, "Let's see what's going on." Nodding in reply, the Swedish Chef followed the British chef outside to the hallway... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Outside Gym~ Once he was done with gym class and changed back to his uniform, Marco tiptoed away to make sure no one was following him, wanting to check up on Star Butterfly, hoping her Mewberty situation has improved. "Hello, Diaz," Anais's familiar voice greeted Marco... "Ah, Anias! Heh, didn't see you there," Marco nervously replied as he noticed the four-year-old rabbit leaning against the wall with a disapproved look on her face and her arms crossed. "Where's Star?!" Anais questioned, "She promised to be my gym partner today! And I was really looking forward to it after Fang and Tommy FINALLY got me a uniform after two months of being ignored! Instead, I was forced to sit in a bench." "Look, Anais, I'm sorry about that, bu-" Marco replied before he was interrupted by the sound of a boy screaming, "What the...?" "What was that?" Anais asked. "I don't know, but I'm gonna check it out," Marco replied as he headed towards the direction of the sound while Anais followed him. As the two ran, they began to notice something strange. The hallways in the school were suddenly dark, filled with purple vines, whose leaves were shaped like hearts. "What is going on here?" Anais wondered out loud as she and Marco slowly walked through the hallways. Suddenly, they noticed many male students (plus Gordon Ramsay and the Swedish Chef) inside lockers without doors, trapped by a purple web... "Hey! You gotta get us out of here!" Eddy pleaded as he grabbed Marco's arm. Backing away from Eddy and other boys, Marco asked, "Okaaay... what just happened?" Just then, Marco and Anais heard the sound of Carlton Banks screaming like a little girl. Running towards the direction of the sound, the two gasped, shocked by what they just saw... Star Butterfly, now an uncontrollable monster, was trapping boys with a purple web, all a part of her Mewberty phase. Her newest victim was Carlton, who she was carrying as she flew towards a locker. "Whaaaat theeee...?" both Marco and Anais cried, surprised by what they were seeing. "Is that..." Anais wondered out loud. "Star?" Marco added, finishing Anais's sentence. Tearing the door of a locker with her bare hands, Star Butterfly threw Carlton inside, and covered the locker's opening with a web using her hands. "Star!" Marco called out to his friend, "You gotta get a hold of yourself. You're scaring everyone." Turning around, Star looked at Marco for a bit before turning her attention back to Carlton, spraying Carlton with more web from her hands. "I said, stop!" Marco exclaimed as he grabbed Star's arm. As she looked at Marco, Carlton said, "Now she's mad..." Star then pinned Marco to the wall, and began covering him with her webbing. As she watched in fear, Anais cried, "Help! Someone help!"
I've been arguing for this for a while. Agent Carter to me always felt more suitable for Netflix given the short number of episodes per season. I truly hope Marvel and Netflix are able to come to a deal that'll allow them to continue the show and take care of any loose ends (Who shot Thompson??!! And where is Dottie now??!!).
~Courthouse: Courtroom 4~ 'Lying as usual,' Matt Murdock thought to himself as he sensed Florent L'Belle's heartbeat. "I'm curious to see how Wright will nail it," Matt whispered to Foggy. "Osha..." Foggy concurred while he nodded in reply. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Taco Bell~ "Ah, there you are, Xehanort," Gaston greeted Xehanort as he returned. "Where have you been?" Trixie asked. "It was nothing," Xehanort replied as he sat back with his group, "Thought I saw Eraqus outside, and figured I'd ask him about what we would be doing today, but it ended up being a total stranger. So, false alarm." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School - Principal's Office~ As the Nintendo High School principal was looking through his desk's drawer for a form he needed to have filled out by the end of the day, he found a ring box. Grabbing it, Al Mualim opened it, and found an engagement ring inside, one he bought so many years ago... Spoiler: Flashback in Al Mualim's Mind ~May 1987: Jewelry Store~ "Do you think she'll like it?" Al Mualim asked Eraqus as he showed him an engagement ring that he bought. "It looks amazing, Al Mualim," Eraqus replied, "I'm sure Dolores will love it." "Thank you, my friend," Al Mualim thanked Eraqus as the two exited the jewelry store. "How do you wish to propose to her?" Eraqus asked. "I am going to be having dinner at her place Friday night. Seems to me like the perfect time to do it," Al Mualim replied. "Well, I'm sure she'll say yes," Eraqus told Al Mualim, "Can't wait for you to tell me how it turns out." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France~ Spoiler: BGM "Okay, everyone, time to go back home," Ms. Frizzle announced to the students as she went back to her bus. "You heard her, kids, back in the bus," Clara added as the students returned to the bus one by one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Highway in Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.~ As the burglars' car continued going left and right to try and shake Judy off from the roof, the rabbit continued holding on, telling herself, "It's times like this I wish the chief would let me carry a gun." While she didn't have a gun, she did have pepper spray, which she grabbed from her belt. As Judy inched closer to the driver's side of the car, the driver pointed his gun towards her while driving, trying to shoot her. But Judy managed to kick the gun away, and once she was close enough, she was able to pepper spray the driver in his eyes quick. After doing that, Judy jumped towards Nick and her motorcycle, landing behind Nick as she watched the burglar's car veer off the road and crash into a tree. "Alright Nick, let's see if they're ready to turn themselves in," Judy told her friend.
I... don't know what to think of the suits quite honestly. They look more like something Tony Stark would design then actual Power Ranger suits.
If it was something similar to the Mirage Arena in BBS (before stripping away the online functionality in 2.5), I'd like that. Something to do while taking a break from the main story, so I think including plot elements to multiplayer wouldn't be a good idea because KH has always been first and foremost a single-player experience.
I'm glad they're doing this and not risk having the audience confused into thinking that this is another "final book is split into two movies" situation. Though I'm hoping the words "Infinity War" are still retained for either one (Part 2 perhaps)?
~Taco Bell~ As Xehanort and the others ate their lunch while listening to Gaston and Trixie complain about their classes (as usual), Xehanort noticed a a certain figure looking at him on the other side of the restaurant outside... 'Lash?' Xehanort wondered to himself, recognizing the figure. As he watched the S-type walk towards the back of the building, Xehanort said, "If you'll excuse me, guys, I just need to go take care of something quick." "Umm, okay..." Sunset Shimmer replied as she watched Xehanort leave the restaurant, not sure what he wanted to do. "What's with him?" Gaston asked, with Trixie and Vanitas both shrugging in response. Passing by Belle as he exited the restaurant, Xehanort went all the way around Taco Bell, and found Lash in the back, leaning against a dumpster with his arms crossed. "Xehanort," Lash greeted Xehanort. "Lash? What are you doing here?" Xehanort quietly questioned the S-type as he approached him, making sure no one was watching them. "I won't be long," Lash replied, "But the Crystal Order needs your help in vanquishing a certain enemy." "And who might this enemy be?" Xehanort asked, with Lash quietly whispering to Xehanort what he was ordered to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Highway in Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.~ "Alright... NOW!" Judy yelled as she jumped from her motorcycle onto the roof of the burglars' car, confident that Nick was able to do as she asked. "Woah!" Judy cried as she held on tight to the car roof while the driver tried to get rid of the rabbit by shaking her off. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lavos' Resting Place~~ "Hmm... follow the actor," Mother Talzin told Vergil and Savage, "I am curious as to what Shinnok is up to now that he no longer has Lavos. Even without Lavos, Shinnok could still pose a threat." "Yes, Mother Talzin," Savage replied as he nodded, grabbing his pike, and heading towards the tunnel that Johnny Cage ran into. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Arendelle~ As Prince Demande was waiting outside his limo for Saphir and Nephrite, he noticed Hans and Olaf approaching him... "Hey," Olaf greeted Demande, "Hans told me about your plan for Castelia City. It's a shame you have to go away so soon. But I'm glad we'll be seeing you again tomorrow." "Heh, the feeling's mutual, my snowy friend," Demande replied. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Cafeteria~ "Umm, sure. I don't see why not," Sora replied, "I'll probably be busy most of the time, what with Biology homework... and then there's English, which I'm not sure if we'll have homework for, but we are supposed to be starting with a new book to read, so I'm most likely gonna be busy with that as well. But your friend can play with my PS3 if she wants." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM "Well, I'd consider myself 'beyond human' as well, hehe," Starlight Glimmer, the non-human in Shay's little 'group', joked as Albert mentioned Sparda's children as being 'beyond human.' "Still, I think Jadeite and Tanya held their own pretty well against him," Shay commented as he was lying in a bed with a cast covering his wound after a quick surgery was performed on it. "You're too kind, Shay," Jadeite replied. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Principal's Office~ Spoiler: Flashback in Al Mualim's Mind ~December 31, 1977 - Disco Club~ As Al Mualim and Umbridge were waiting for the countdown to the new year, the disco club they were in started playing the following song: "Oh, I love this song," Umbridge commented, "Never could stop listening to it after watching 'Saturday Night Fever.'" Smiling, Al Mualim got up and extended his hand towards her, asking, "Want to dance?" Blushing, Umbridge asked, "Us? Together?" Al Mualim silently nodded in reply, with Umbridge saying, "Alright then." The two then went over to the dance floor, joining the other people who were dancing under the mirror ball. Al Mualim and Umbridge then started to dance together, with the two rolling their arms then pointing a hand to the ceiling while moving their hips, and then alternating to the other hand. "Al Mualim, you lucky b*****d..." Galuf said to himself as he watched Al Mualim dance with Umbridge from his table... As the song was nearing its end, with Al Mualim and Umbridge now dancing a slow dance, the club's DJ announced, "Attention to all the groovy gentlemen and foxy ladies joining us tonight on this great New Year's Eve. 1978 is coming up in 15 seconds. So let's start counting down." Many in the club then started to cheer as they started counting down. "Happy New Year, Al Mualim," Umbridge told Al Mualim as she continued dancing with him. "Happy New Year to you as well, my dear," Al Mualim replied. "... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" the people in the club cheered as they counted down to the start of 1978. Once the countdown ended, Al Mualim and Umbridge shared an intimate kiss as they continued dancing while everyone else in the club cheered as balloons and confetti were being dropped from the ceiling. As the song Al Mualim was listening to in the radio concluded, he received a text message from Haytham Kenway, who informed him that Lavos was successfully recovered, and that the plan to vanquish Shadow Mario was moving ahead. 'Excellent... everything is going as planned,' Al Mualim thought to himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France~ Once Jigglypuff finished singing, it noticed that everyone that listened to its song fell asleep. Disappointed, Jigglypuff inflated its body, and madly said, "JIGGLYPUFF!" Jigglypuff then took out the green end of its 'microphone', revealing it to actually be a marker. Spoiler: BGM Going all around the Pokémon Village, Jigglypuff started drawing on the face of every single individual (including Pokémon) who was asleep. "Hmph!" Jigglypuff grunted as it left the Pokémon Village, walking towards a hill. Meanwhile, Rini was heading back to join her group after meeting with Mewtwo, only to be surprised by noticing everyone asleep with their faces drawn with a marker... "What the...?" a confused Rini wondered out loud. As those who were asleep started to wake up, many of them were surprised to see each other's faces drawn on, but laughed it off. "Heh, Darwin, your face looks ridiculous," Riley laughed as she took a picture of Darwin's face after Jigglypuff drew on it, showing it to him. "Y-yeah, that is funny," Darwin replied as he laughed as well. "Rini, there you are!" Bonnie greeted her friend as she was wiping the marker stain from her face. "Where have you been?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Well, I was just checking out a nearby cave. Thought I'd find something interesting there. Turns out, it was just a boring empty old cave," Rini replied, giving a half-truth of what really happened, "But... what happened to you guys?" "A Jigglypuff appeared and sang," Pipsqueak answered, "Which put us all to sleep." "I see," Rini commented, "Guess I was lucky."
~Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM "Yes, my lord," Hive replied as he bowed down, and turned to walk away. But just as he did, Hive noticed Rassilon approaching him and Astral... "Rassilon... how can we be of acquaintance?" Hive asked the Crystal Order's No. 3 in command. "I come with very good news," Rassilon replied as he handed Hive a black crystal, "The Death Star has returned to its rightful place." Observing the crystal in his hand, Hive was happy to see Lavos returned to the S-types, telling the crystal that was Lavos, "Lavos, my old friend... it's been a while." Turning his attention back to Rassilon, Hive asked, "And what of your brave followers who acquired Lavos?" "One of them is currently undergoing surgery for an injury," Rassilon replied, "But overall, they were proud of their work." "Excellent," Hive said, "Al Mualim's vision of a new world order is approaching fast. I'm happy to see that over two decades of fighting is about to pay off." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Hallway~ "So... you said Star is going through... mewberty?" Glossaryck asked as he was chewing and burping. "How do I make it stop?" Marco questioned as he continued feeding Glossaryck pudding. "Well, can't stop it," Glossaryck replied with his mouth full. "That's not an option," Marco said. "It'll all be over soon," Glossaryck replied as he slathered the pudding on his beard, "Star should be back to normal by, uh... sometime after school. Or she won't." "She won't what?" Marco asked. "Be back to normal," Glossaryck replied, "Unless some powerful magic is able to change her back." "That's it? Th-There's nothing I, a non-magical person, can do?" Marco asked. Instead of giving an answer, Glossaryck once again pointed to his wide open mouth, saying, "Ahhh..." "It's empty. You ate it all," Marco replied as he noticed the cup of pudding he was feeding Glossaryck was empty. "Scrrrrape the sides!" Glossaryck ordered Marco. An annoyed Marco then did as Glossaryck asked, scraping the sides of the pudding cup and feeding Glossaryck, telling him, "Now talk." "Look, kid, nature is like a runaway dump truck – hot, fast, and full of garbage," Glossaryck replied. "What?" a confused Marco asked. "Nature cannot be stopped. That is all," Glossaryck replied. "There has to be more you can tell me than that!" Marco pleaded. "Of course there is. But then, you're out of pudding," Glossaryck replied as he laughed and went back inside Star's book, closing itself. "Thanks for nothing," Marco groaned, "Hang in there, Star... I'll find a way to help you..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Arendelle - Dining Hall~ "I'll be sure to pass on the compliments to Nephrite," Demande replied to Elsa as he finished his food as well, "Speaking of which, I think it's time my brother and I went back to Copenhagen. Saphir, will you please go get Nephrite?" "Of course, brother," Saphir replied as he got up from his seat and went to get Nephrite. "Sure you can't stay a little bit longer?" Hans asked. "I'm truly sorry, Hans, but Saphir and I are on a tight schedule," Demande replied, "But as promised, we'll be sure to come and pick you all up tomorrow on my ship for the trip to America." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Lavos' Resting Place~ "Forget about the Crystal Order and Lavos for now," Talzin ordered Savage and Vergil as she focused on Johnny Cage, "I wonder... where is Shinnok? I would have expected to see the fake god by now." "He escaped during our fight with the Crystal Order," Savage told Talzin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flashback: December 31, 1977 - Disco Club~ "Dolores," Al Mualim greeted Umbridge as he sat across from her. "Al Mualim," Umbridge greeted him back. "I haven't seen you since we graduated," Al Mualim commented, "How have you been?" "Fine," Umbridge replied, "I'm now working at the Japanese Ministry of Finance." "Oh, and how is that like?" Al Mualim asked. "Too many numbers," Umbridge joked, "What about you? Are you finally working at Nintendo High?" "You read my mind," Al Mualim said with a smile, "I'm teaching History. But, even though it's only been a few months since starting, my supervisor is really impressed, and says I might be promoted to principal sooner than I expected." "Supervisor? You mean Peppy's father?" Umbridge asked. "Yes," Al Mualim replied with a nod. "Must be great place to work," Umbridge commented, "Though I'll be honest... I missed you." "So did I," Al Mualim replied, "Things changed so quickly after graduating. For the both of us." "Can we ever go back to the way things were before?" Umbridge asked. After thinking it through, Al Mualim replied, "It's New Year's Eve. Let's both make a resolution for the new year. I say we both try to start over. What do you think?" "I'll... try," Umbridge answered.

~Nintendo High School - Hallway~ After getting a cup of chocolate pudding from the cafeteria, Marco returned to the book where Glossaryck would be, saying, "All right. Here's your pudding." The book the opened with Glossaryck looking up at Marco... "Ahhhh..." Glossaryck said as he opened his mouth wide open. "What are you doing?" a confused Marco asked. "You've got to feed me, of course. Pudding doesn't eat itself," Glossaryck replied as he once again opened his mouth wide while pointing to it, "Ahhh..." Disgusted, Marco then started feeding Glossaryck the pudding with a spoon. "It's... You got it all stuck in your beard..." Marco told Glossaryck as he fed him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Courthouse: Courtroom 4~ "Osha?" Foggy wondered out loud at what happened. "If they could verify that the handwriting on that note truly is Florent L'Belle's, then the case is practically over. It'd be hard for Florent to explain himself," Matt whispered to his Pokémon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School - Principal's Office~ As he was relaxing in his office while listening to the radio, Al Maulim heard the Radio DJ in the radio say, "And for the next hour, we're gonna be playing some of the greatest hits fom the '70s, so sit back, and enjoy some of the grooviest songs of the disco era." As Al Mualim listened, he once again started to reminisce about his past... Spoiler: Flashback in Al Mualim's Mind ~December 31, 1977 - Disco Club~ It was New Year's Eve in Tokyo, with many in the city celebrating the arrival of the new year. Al Mualim and Galuf decided to celebrate by visiting a local disco club, where the two were sitting in a table, enjoying their drinks as they watched other people dancing to disco music under a mirror ball. "So, how are you enjoying your time at Nintendo High," Galuf asked Al Mualim. "Well, I certainly am enjoying it," Al Mualim replied, "I'm grateful to Peppy's father for giving me the opportunity to be a teacher at the very school I attended." "And all it took to convince you was continuing another two years at TU to get your Master's Degree," Galuf said, "I gotta say, Al Mualim, you are one stubborn son of a b****." The two then had a good laugh as they continued drinking. As Galuf looked around, he spotted Dolores Umbridge sitting by herself at a table on the other side of the club, watching him and Al Mualim... "Hey, isn't that...?" Galuf asked Al Mualim as the two saw Umbridge, both recognizing her. "It is," Al Mualim replied. "You wanna go talk to her?" Galuf asked. "I should," Al Mualim replied as he got up from his seat and walked over to Umbridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Highway in Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.~ As Judy got closer to the burglars' car, the same burglar who tried to shoot her shot the tires of the police cars chasing them, causing them to deflate and forcing the police officers to stop at the side of the highway. "Oh no," Judy said as she watched what happened, "Looks like it's up to us!" As she sped her motorcycle and got it even closer to the burglars' car. "Nick, I need you to listen and do exactly as I say," Judy told Nick, "When I say 'now', you take over my motorcycle while I jump on the burglars' car. Okay?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France~ As students from both Clara's and Ms Frizzle's classes were exploring the Pokémon Village, Sammy approached Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak, asking them, "Hey guys... have you seen Rini around? I can't seem to find her anywhere." "Uhhh..." all three reponded, not sure what to tell Sammy after Rini asked them to cover for her. But before either one of them could give an actual response, Jigglypuff hopped onto a boulder right next to them... "Jiggly!" Jigglypuff happily said as it started to sing the following song: Spoiler: Jigglypuff's Song As Jigglypuff continued to sing, those listening to Jigglypuff's song began to feel drowsy. "Why do I feel so... sleepy?" Darwin wondered out loud as he and the others in the area yawned and fell asleep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France (Again)~ "Interesting..." Clara commented as she observed the creature, "I don't believe I've ever seen or read about a creature such as yourself, little guy. Are you a new Pokémon?" Just then, Clara heard Jigglypuff's singing, and began to feel sleepy. "What's... going... on?" Clara asked as she fell to the ground and slept. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France (Again x2)~ "The sunset looks beautiful from here," Penny commented as she saw the sun beginning to set over a hill far from the Pokémon Village, "So romantic..." "Y-yeah... it sure is, Penny," Gumball replied as he watched the sunset with her. As the two then began to hold hands, Gumball began to feel like he and Penny were floating in space. As the two looked at each other, Gumball and Penny were about to share a kiss until both heard Jigglypuff's singing. "H-hey, Penny... do you feel sleepy?" a drowsy Gumball asked. "Y-yeah, I do..." Penny replied as both fell on the ground, and slept. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France - Cave~ "Are you sure about this?" Mewtwo asked. "Of course!" Rini replied, "Besides, you haven't seen him in two months, Mewtwo. Discord's your friend, I'm sure he'll wanna talk to you. And don't worry about me, I'll just text Auntie Ikuko that I'm hanging out with my friends." Sighing, Mewtwo said, "Fine. We'll try to speak with Discord." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lavos' Resting Place~ Shay watched as the force field protecting him dissolved the Summoned Swords aimed for his feet, leaving him unharmed. Starlight Glimmer rapidly spun her scythe to protect herself from the bullets Vergil sent towards her, while also blocking another attack by Savage's pike. And as Johnny Cage appeared and battled Tanya, Jadeite took over for Tanya in battling Vergil, continuously sending bolts of lightning towards him. After a few minutes of fighting, Jadeite said, "Now this is getting rather boring." "I agree," Shay responded, "We already acquired what we came here for. I think it's time we left. Starlight?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm on it," Glimmer replied to Shay as she kicked Savage to send him rolling back a bit. Once she was free, Starlight used her magic to fog the place. "Alright, Jadeite. Now!" Shay ordered. Jadeite then proceeded to grab Shay, Starlight Glimmer, and Tanya, and teleported them all out of the area. Once the fog cleared up, Savage saw that the four had disappeared, angrily throwing his pike on the ground, telling Vergil, "Mother Talzin will not like this." "Will not like what?" Talzin's familiar voice asked behind Savage and Vergil... "Mother Talzin!" Savage said as he knelt down, "Forgive me, but we failed to acquire Lavos. The Crystal Order took it from Shinnok before we could!" "Crystal Order?" Talzin replied, "Then this may have not been a total loss after all." Noticing Johnny Cage, Talzin asked Vergil, "Tell me, Vergil... who is this man?"

"For a second, we thought you were getting lunch at Taco Bell," Sora added, "So, what were you saying again Riku?" "Oh, just that I was planning to help out the homeless at Tokyo Cathedral later this week," Riku replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Hallway~ Inside the locker where Star Butterfly was hiding in, Star continued slowly peeling the purple hearts from off her skin while slipping them through the vent. Just then, she heard Sam and Dean outside. Peeking through the vent, she saw Dean remove his shirt, and regretted doing so as more purple hearts began to appear on Star's face and arms. "No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no!" Star cried. But once Sam and Dean left the area, the appearance of additional purple hearts on her skin came to a halt. Relieved, Star said to herself, "Huh. That wasn't so bad." However, Star heard another group of boys arriving outside the locker she was in. Looking through the vent, Star noticed that it was the school's male swim team, and they were wearing nothing but swim trunks. "All right, boys, we're gonna do our warm-up here today," the swim team captain told the others, "Pool's been compromised. Poop. It was poop. Somebody pooped in the pool. Okay, let's get to it." The members of the swim team then started to stretch, while Star shuddered as she stared at them, and more and more purple hearts started appearing on her skin and flooding the inside of the locker she was in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Principal's Office~ Spoiler: Flashback in Al Mualim's Mind ~September 1974 - Hospital Room~ As he slowly woke up, Al Mualim found himself alone lying in a bed in a hospital room, with his right face covered. Last thing he remembered was battling the S-type, Azog, and the rest was blank. "Dolores!" Al Mualim cried, wondering what happened to her. Just then, the door opened, and in came Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan of the Japanese army... "You're awake!" Dugan said as he approached Al Mualim, "That was pretty brave of you to take on that S-type." "Where's Dolores?" Al Mualim asked. "Oh, your girlfriend? She's fine. She's the one who actually saved your life," Dugan replied, "She's been waiting and waiting for you to wake up. Bet she'll be surprised now." As Dugan left to go get Umbridge, Al Mualim began to ponder to himself, 'Dolores... saved me?' Dugan then came back to the room, this time with Umbridge... "I'll just... leave you two alone," Dugan said as he left. Looking at Umbridge, Al Mualim asked, "Dolores... the S-type... what happened?" "Don't worry. I was able to deal with that monster," Umbridge replied, "By now, he's probably in the middle of the Indian Ocean." "But are you alright? Were you harmed?" Al Mualim asked. "I'm fine," Umbridge replied, "But... they said that, your right eye... has been permanently damaged. I'm so sorry." Hearing the shocking news, Al Mualim placed his hand over his covered right face, realizing that he will never be able to see from the right side of his face. After a minute of silence, Al Mualim finally spoke, saying, "All that matters... is that you are safe, Dolores. I never intended for any of this to happen. I'm sorry." "Don't be," Umbridge replied as she sat in a chair next to Al Mualim, "What happened was all because of my own choice, and I accept the consequences are a result of it. If there's anyone who should apologize, it should be me. Nevertheless, I do not regret learning about these... S-types. And if you ever are asked to go on another trip like this, I want to join you in the fight." Sighing, Al Mualim smiled as he commented, "I guess there's no talking you out of it then... very well." Smiling, Umbridge bent over and gave Al Mualim a kiss on his cheek, then headed for the door, saying, "I'll get you something to eat." Al Mualim's trip down memory lane in his mind was interrupted by his phone ringing. "Hello?" Al Mualim said as he answered the phone, "What... no, we're not interested. Thank you." Al Mualim then hung up as he went back to drinking his tea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France - Cave~ "...and after we arrived, I sneaked away to look for you. And here we are," Rini said as she was explaining to Mewtwo her journey, from time traveling from the future, to arriving with Frizzle's and Clara's classes to the Pokémon Village. "What was I thinking?" Mewtwo questioned as he crossed his arms and shook his head, "How can my future self expect me to help you with preventing this future that you speak of? I've been alone, betrayed, and have no desire of helping a universe that doesn't care for me." "What about Discord?" Rini asked. Mewtwo's heart sank after hearing Rini mention his friend from the Crystal Order, who he joined in escaping the group two months ago. "Discord was your friend around this time, right?" Rini asked once more, "Where is he, Mewtwo?" After a moment of silence, Mewtwo replied, "He's hiding... just like me." "Would you help me if it also means helping Discord?" Rini asked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Pokémon Village, Kalos Region, France (Again)~ Noticing Penny petting a Hoothoot, Gumball gulped and sweat as he nervously told himself, "Okay, you can do this..." As he approached Penny, Gumball said, "H-hey, Penny." "Hi, Gumball," Penny replied as the Hoothoot she was petting flew away, "Amazing place, isn't it?" "Y-yeah, definitely," Gumball said. "I can see why it attracts so many visitors," Penny said as a Beautifly landed on her arm, which she pet as well before it flew away, "So many different amazing Pokémon. By the way, here's your note." Handing Gumball back the note he tried to give her earlier during class (and failed), Gumball tried to pretend to not know about the note, sweating as he said, "Huh? I didn't write that. W-why would you think I wrote that?" "Oh, Gumball... everyone in class knows how you write the letter 'd' differently," Penny replied, showing him the word 'and' in his note, and how the 'd' was written. "Hehe... so I guess that gave it away," Gumball said as he scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Still, I thought it was sweet," Penny replied as she blushed, with Gumball reacting with a certain facial expression. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School - Cafeteria (Again)~ "That's... concerning," Max commented after being told that Cassie's mother hasn't seen her and that her father doesn't answer calls. "I hope she's okay..." a worried Bulk Biceps said. "She's a tough girl. I'm sure she's fine," Max told Bulk, trying to reassure him that Cassie would be fine even though he wasn't sure himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Arendelle - Dining Hall~ "I would advise not being too specific on just one issue, and to speak to the world as a citizen of not just Arendelle, but of Earth as a whole," Saphir suggested to Elsa. "Saphir is correct," Demande added, "For example, I plan to discuss how all nations must be united, more than ever, because unity is something that is sorely missing in these dark times." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "With these communicators, we'll stay in contact, and ask for your help should we ever need it," Zordon said as Takeru and Hikaru got their communicators. "Bye guys! See you soon!" Alpha told the two as they left. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lavos' Resting Place~ "Shinnok, you double-crossing b*****d!" Shay yelled as Shinnok ran away with Quan Chi. "What do we do?" Jadeite questioned Shay. "Jadeite, take Lavos back to HQ. We'll deal with the situation here," Shay ordered Jadeite, "That's an order!" Nodding without hesitation, Jadeite teleported away from the scene, leaving Shay, Tanya, and Starlight to deal with Vergil and Savage. "No!" Savage angrily yelled as Jadeite teleported away with Lavos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ - Rassilon's Office~ Spoiler: BGM "Jadeite?" Rassilon questioned as he saw Jadeite teleport into his office. "I have Lavos," Jadeite reported to Rassilon as he handed him the crystal that was Lavos in its crystal form. "At last," Rassilon said as he stared at the crystal in his hand, "Lavos, the Death Star, is back where it belongs after decades. Where are Shay and the others?" "In the middle of a battle, sir," Jadeite responded, "I will return to aid them." "Of course," Rassilon said as Jadeite teleported away. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Lavos' Resting Place~ Returning to the scene, Jadeite watched as Tanya fought with Vergil, Starlight Glimmer sparred with Savage, and Shay stood, ready to use his gun in case Tanya or Starlight needed assistance. "Jadeite! That was quick!" Shay greeted Jadeite. "Now time for the real battle to begin!" Jadeite announced... Spoiler: BGM Savage and Starlight Glimmer kept swinging their weapons at one another, with Savage deflecting attacks from Starlight's scythe with his pike, while Starlight would acrobatically dodge incoming attacks from Savage's pike. Meanwhile, Jadeite sent bolts of lightning towards Vergil to assist Tanya, protected Shay by summoning a protective force field around him, and levitated the pedestal where the crystal originally was, sending it straight to Savage. Noticing the pedestal flying straight to him, Savage roared as he easily smashed through the pedestal with the horns on his head, while blocking an attack by Starlight Glimmer with his pike. Noticing the rubble resulting from Savage smashing through the pedestal, Jadeite grinned as he levitated them and sent them flying straight towards Vergil. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Highway in Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.~ Judy sped through the highway, passing by cars as she tried to join the chase with the burglars. "There they are!" Judy told Nick as her motorcycle arrived close to the chase. One of the burglars inside the car took out his gun, and started firing in Judy's direction, who veered a bit to the right to avoid the gunfire, then went back on course. "How you hanging in there, Nick?" Judy asked her friend behind her.
