~Crystal Order HQ: Hallway~ Spoiler: BGM After the funeral, Haytham Kenway walked away for a bit to clear his thoughts, but was surprised upon hearing John Lumic call out to him, "Master Kenway!" "Lumic? What is it?" Kenway questioned as Lumic approached him while on his wheelchair. "I understand it's a bad time right now," John replied, "But if you would like to see for yourself... the third and final part of the Cybus project had been completed today." Surprised by Lumic's words, Kenway asked, "The Cybermen are ready?" Nodding in response, Lumic turned around, and headed the opposite direction while telling Haytham, "Follow me." Doing as Lumic asked, Haytham followed him, really interested to see how the Cybermen turned out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Vermilion City Gym~ As they entered the gym, Lt. Surge began telling IF and Finnick about how he met their mother many years ago, and how he vividly remembers the day they were born. "...It felt jus' like it was yesterday..." Lt. Surge continued explaining, "Holdin' the both of ya in mah arms... was da best moment of mah life." "It's true. I never saw him happier than he was at that moment," Adéwalé added, "He even changed the design of the gym badges based on your birth marks." "And for da first time since inhertin' da gym, I finally became serious wit' mah gym leader duties," Lt. Surge said. "Heh, more and more trainers would then start rushing to the Pokemon Center after challenging him," Aveline added. "So you became tougher on trainers because of me and IF?" Finnick asked his father, "Heh, I'm actually flattered." "Hey, somebody's gotta teach 'em to train harder if they really are serious about gettin' into da Kanto Pokemon League," Surge replied as he shrugged, "Anyways... IF... Finnick told me about Mom... and well... I don' really have an excuse for not bein' there for ya when I shoulda been, and I can't ask ya to forgive me for dat. But if ya can... jus' give me anotha chance at being a good father. It would mean a lot ta me." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ As they hugged after Sweetie Belle got her cutie mark, Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak started to sing... Spoiler: BGM [Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak] We were getting ready for this day For a while there Trying to find out how we fit in So many ways we've tried before But we kept on trying more 'Cause the three of us don't call quits or give in *The trio then happily marches to the exit while being followed by everyone else in the theater, including the Muppets* [Pipsqueak] Now we know what it took all along [Sweetie Belle] And our journey here is never really done [Bonnie] For it is more than just a mark It's a place for us to start [Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak] An adventure that has only just begun *The trio arrives outside, and continues singing near the street while catching the attention of Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, who was sleeping, as well as other bystanders* [Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak] We'll make our mark Show the world what we can do We'll make our mark Helping others to break through For the ultimate reward is helping others *A few minutes later, the street outside the theater is flooded with audience members and Muppets celebrating* [Dr. Teeth] All right, everyone, let's party all night long! *Some audience members and Muppets cheered upon hearing what Dr. Teeth said* *Meanwhile, Clemont looks at his sister with his eyes tearing up* [Clemont] Oh, sis, if only Mama was still around... she'd be so proud of you. *Bonnie tears up as well upon hearing what her brother said* [Bonnie] Oh...

Bejeweled 3 - PS3
~Tokyo University - Local Café~ It was poetry night at a local café in Tokyo University, with the students who were attending enjoying their relaxing Friday night while listening to some poetry courtesy of a Geology major, Maud Pie, who was reciting her rock-themed poems on stage with a stage microphone in her monotone voice... Rock. You are a rock. Gray. You are gray. Like a rock. Which you are. Rock. "Woohoo! Go Maud!" Pinkie Pie ecstatically cheered for her sister. "Well... this is not what I expected..." Misty whispered to Brock. "I actually like her poems," Brock replied as he and others in the café quietly applauded Maud, "I'm glad I'm not the only rock admirer on campus." "Hehe..." Misty replied as she sweatdropped, "So, uh... how's Marius?" "He's talking non-stop either about politics, or this girl he saw earlier today," Brock replied. "He has a crush?" Misty asked. "Yup," Brock answered, "I'm rather proud of him. Anyway, ready for your internship tomorrow?" "Yeah, though I am a bit nervous," Misty replied. "Hey, don't sweat it," Brock told Misty, "You'll do fine, trust me." Smiling at her friend, Misty replied, "Thanks Brock." "Oh, Maud's gonna read another one," Brock said as Maud began to recite another rock-themed poem: Rocks; these are my rocks. Sediments: make me sedimental. Smooth and round, asleep in the ground. Shades of brown and gray... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flower Shop~ "Well in that case, it was great to have you stay with us, Harold," Matt told Harold, "You can keep the key to my apartment that I gave you. Don't worry, I have a spare. If you need anything, you know where to find me." "Oshawott!" Foggy waved goodbye as he climbed up to Matt's shoulder as he headed towards the exit. "Where are you going?" Lee asked Matt. "To the gym. Just because I'm blind doesn't mean I shouldn't maintain a healthy body," Matt replied. "Do you need someone to take you there?" Lee asked once more. "It's fine. Foggy and I can take care of ourselves," Matt replied. "Osha!" Foggy concurred, nodding. As Matt and Foggy left, Carter felt his phone vibrate. Taking it out, he noticed it was a text message from Officer Jenny, telling him that a third member of the Crystal Order was caught at the local Muppet theater. "Woo! Hallelujah!" Carter cheered. "What happened?" Lee asked. "T.P.D. caught a third member of da Crystal Order!" Carter replied. "Another one?" Lee wondered out loud. "Yeah," Carter replied, "It's like Christmas came early dis year! Ha!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Kuzco's Tokyo Home~ "Alright, see ya," Kuzco replied as he silently waved goodbye to Don, and slowly walked back to his home, thinking about how it's been exactly a week since he's last been here, yet with everything that happened with him since becoming a llama, it felt like it's been more than a year since seeing his home. 'It's finally over...' he thought to himself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~A.I.M. Building - Aldrich Killian's Office~ "Hate to say it, Pops... but I kinda saw this coming," Max told his father as they watched the Muppet Telethon, and saw what happened with Tex Richman. "I agree," Killian replied, "He really underestimated those Muppets." "So... I guess back to working on Extremis?" Montana Max asked. "Yup," KIllian replied as he got up, switched the television off, and headed towards a secret laboratory with his son. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ After a while, Kermit and Looker finally came back from backstage, with smiles on both faces... "Thank you, chief," Kermit told Looker. "No Kermit, thank YOU," Looker replied as he faced the other police officers in the theater, "Alright guys. Time to go." As Looker headed to the exit, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew asked, "Kermit, if I may ask... what did the two of you discuss?" "Very good news," Kermit replied as he faced the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have some excellent news. I was told that due to the arrest of Tex Richman, and no other bidders for the property currently available... the rights to the theater's property will now revert back to the Muppets! Yaaay!" The audience then began to cheer with this announcement, while the other Muppets breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness..." Scooter commented, "I would've hated to go back to working for Google." "And that's not all," Kermit continued, "Since the rights to the property have now reverted back, all those who donated will be fully refunded since their money won't be needed anymore!" The audience once again cheered after hearing the announcement. "Heh, if only they could refund us all those years of having to sit through every one of their shows," Statler whispered to Waldorf as the two elderly hecklers chuckled. "Now first of all, I'd like to give a few thanks to some very special individuals who, without their help, none of this would ever be possible," Kermit continued as he turned to face Tuxedo Mask, "Tuxedo Mask, you caught a man who could've done much harm to the theater... to my home. And from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for that." "The pleasure is all mine, Kermit. Now, if you'll excuse me... I must go," Tuxedo Mask replied as he headed towards the exit. Spoiler: BGM "Wait! Why don't you stay?" Miss Piggy asked. "I... couldn't..." Tuxedo Mask replied as he stopped, and turned around to face the Muppets, "However, if you Muppets can do me one favor... then I would greatly appreciate it." "Sure thing, Tuxedo Mask," Kermit replied, "What is it?" "Keep doing what you do... what you Muppets have always done for many years," Tuxedo Mask said, "Continue bringing joy to the rest of the world, to audiences young and old. Put a smile on their faces... just as you all put a smile on my face when I was a kid." The rest of the Muppets silently nodded in reply, with Kermit replying, "We promise... Tuxedo Mask." Smiling, Tuxedo Mask waved goodbye and left. "Well... now then, I would also like to thank Diantha for accepting to be our celebrity guest, and giving us great performances throughout the show, particularly with your tearjerker of a song, 'The Magic Inside'," Kermit continued as he faced Diantha, who smiled and nodded upon being thanked. "So, what'd I miss?" Darien asked as he returned to his seat from somewhere... "Oh you should've seen it," Kenji replied, "Tex Richman tries running away, only to be caught by a guy wearing a tuxedo and a mask." "His name was Tuxedo Mask," Ikuko added. "Tuxedo Mask? Wow, that's some story..." Darien commented, "I really hope the telethon will be uploaded online so I can see the stuff I missed." "Where were you anyway?" Sammy asked. "Restroom break," Darien lied, "So what's happening now?" "Well, after Richman was arrested by the police, the Muppets were told that the building now belongs to them again without the need to pay any money... so all the donors will be refunded, and Kermit is now giving thanks to those who helped out," Kenji replied. "And of course, I could never forget the ones who have been with me for many years and have come back for the telethon, the Muppets," Kermit continued with his thanks, "Fozzie... Swedish Chef... Gonzo... Piggy... and the rest of you... thank you, for realizing that we're best when we come together, because without you guys... there would be no Muppets." The rest of the Muppets smiled and replied with happy murmuring. Walking over to Clemont, Bonnie (and her Dedenne), Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak, Kermit said, "And last but not least... Bonnie, Clemont, Sweetie Belle, Pipsqueak... thank you so very much. Before I met you guys, I thought my days of performing and reuniting with my old gang were long gone. But... when we met last week... you gave me hope... something I never thought I'd experience again. But you did it... you got me and the rest of the Muppets back, you were able to get Diantha as a celebrity guest, and most importantly... you made the Muppet Telethon a great success. I thank you. We all thank you." The other Muppets then began to applaud for Bonnie and others, and were then followed by the audience applauding for them as well. "We did it guys... we really did it," Bonnie happily told her friends as those in the theater continued applauding for them. "I'm really proud of you kids," Clemont told Bonnie and her friends. "It really felt good to do something nice for someone else," Pipsqueak commented. "Yeah. It really felt like something I was always meant to do," Sweetie Belle added, "And to think we were nervous about messing up." "Then let's keep doing it," Bonnie suggested, "From now on, we do our best to try and help others whenever they need it." "Sounds like a plan," Sweetie Belle replied. "Yeah," Pipsqueak concurred. "Then let's make it official!" Bonnie said as the three shared a hoof/fistbump. But just as they did that, Sweetie Belle's body started to shine brightly for a few seconds. Once that was over, Bonnie, Clemont, and Pipsqueak were awed as they noticed something different about Sweetie Belle. "Deden..." Bonnie's Dedenne added as it saw what the three noticed, feeling just as awed. "What just happened?" a confused Sweetie Belle asked. "It's your cutie mark," Bonnie replied [*OOC: a cutie mark is a symbol located on the flank of a pony that is acquired at a young age after the pony discovers their true talent. In other words, it's a pony's coming of age.]. "It's amazing," Pipsqueak added. Looking at her flank, Sweetie Belle noticed a symbol on her flank... "I got my cutie mark! I got my cutie mark!" Sweetie Belle cheered as she jumped up and down and shared a hug with Bonnie and Pipsqueak. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM Members of the Crystal Order had gathered in the same area where Saïx battled Discord and died. And right in front of them was an open casket where Saïx's body lay with his claymore. Standing next to the casket was Al Mualim, who was carrying a burning torch as he faced his followers. "Brothers, sisters... we stand here today to pay our respects for our heroic and honorable brother, Saïx," Al Mualim said, "Today was a very devastating day for the Crystal Order. Shan-Yu, Yzma, and just a while ago... Tex Richman... all captured after trying to further our goals. Discord, Mewtwo, and Élise de la Serre... all betrayed us and are on the run, hiding from the very brotherhood they swore allegiance to. And Saïx, killed by the traitor Discord after getting help from his fellow traitorous friend, Mewtwo. This truly was the worst day for the Crystal Order in recent memory... bringing back memories of our heavy losses following the invasion of Afghanistan. But I assure you, these losses will not slow us down! Like a phoenix, we shall rise from the ashes just as we did in the Iraq War. We shall strike back harder against our enemies, and they will suffer, mark my words. Shan-Yu, Yzma, Richman, Bellatrix Lestrange, and any other captive from our brotherhood will be freed. Meanwhile, Discord, Mewtwo, Élise de la Serre, and anyone else who dares go against us will suffer for their treachery. Our enemies will be crushed by our might!" Turning to face the casket where Saïx's body lay, Al Mualim lowered his torch to the corpse, and watched as Saïx's body started to cremate. "Dear Saïx, thank you for serving us for so long," Al Mualim said, "May your beliefs, whatever they may be, be enough to guide you in the afterlife. Know that your contributions to saving our world will forever be remembered, and that we will not rest until our ultimate goal is finally achieved."

~Outside Vermilion Gym~ "Huh? Oh, so you're the Compa that IF talked about," Finnick replied as he turned around to face her, "Nice to meet you. The name's Finnick Surge. And... woah..." Upon noticing all of IF's friends, Finnick was surprised to see so many of them, getting a 'Too Many Cooks' vibe. "Raichu..." Surge's Raihu added as he sweatdropped upon noticing all of IF's friends. "Heh, when you said you were gonna bring some friends over, I didn't expect you to bring the whole school," Finnick whispered to his sister, "No matter though. If they're your friends, then they're more than welcome here... even if I'm gonna have trouble memorizing each one." "What's wit' all dis commotion?" Lt. Surge questioned as he stepped out of the gym with Adéwalé and Aveline... "Finnick, 'bout time ya came back. I was startin' to get worried," Surge said upon noticing his son and Raichu, "And... what's wit' all these tourists?" "Hey Dad, Adé, Aveline," Finnick greeted his father, Adéwalé, and Aveline, "They're not tourists. They're her friends." As Finnick placed his hand on IF's shoulder to indicate who he meant by 'her', Aveline teased, "Finnick, you have a girlfriend now?" "Wha- girlfriend?! Eww, now way!" Finnick denied. "Then who is she?" Surge asked. "Come on Dad, doesn't she look familiar at all?" Finnick questioned his father. "Hmm, she does look a little familiar..." Adéwalé commented as he focused his attention on IF. As he approached IF, Lt. Surge took a good look at her, noticinig that there things about her that felt familiar. "Her eyes... her hair... huh, if I didn' know any better, I'd say ya were... nah, it can't be..." Lt. Surge said as he wondered if he figured out her identity, "IF?" Smiling, Finnick nodded while Raichu concurred, "RaiRai!" "It's her, Dad. It's IF... my sister," Finnick told Surge. Turing his attention to Finnick, Surge looked at his son with a look of disappointment, and grabbed him by his ear, saying, "Youse and I are gonna have a lil' talk in da gym." "Owowowow," Finnick cried in pain as his father dragged him to the gym. "Raichu..." Surge's Raichu nervously said as he watched Surge drag his son to the gym, following them to see what'll happen. Once they were gone, Adéwalé and Aveline turned to face IF, surprised to see her for the first time in so many years. "IF... is it really you?" Adéwalé asked. "Heh, last time I saw you, you were a baby, and I kept asking Lt. Surge if I can carry you. My... you've grown up..." Aveline added. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Back of Vermilion City Gym~ "Dad... what's the big deal?!" Finnick questioned his father after being dragged to the back of the gym, not sure why he did what he did. "Da big deal is dat ya disobeyed me!" Lt. Surge angrily replied, "I told ya to not go an' look for her. But ya did it anyway!" "She's my sister and your daughter!" Finnick angrily replied, "I have a right to see her!" "Listen son... as long as ya live wit' me... ya follow mah rules. What I say goes! No questions asked! Understand?!" Lt. Surge angrily questioned his son. "STOP TREATING ME LIKE A KID, DAD!!" Finnick yelled as he started to cry, "I thought you learned to do that when you respected my own decision to drop out of high school. I thought that you finally began seeing me as an adult that can make his own decisions, good or bad. But I was wrong. Apparently, to you, I'm still the little kid who has to listen to his father no matter what, the kid who should never see the twin sister he never knew about!" As Finnick broke down in tears, Raichu approached him to try and comfort him. "Raichu..." Raichu said as he and Finnick shared a hug. As for Lt. Surge, he just stood there silently, watching Finnick and Raichu, surprised that Finnick stood up to him like that. After a few minutes of silence, Finnick calmed down a bit, wiping away the tears from his face. Sighing, Lt. Surge finally spoke, saying, "You're right." "Huh?" Finnick asked, surprised by what his father just said. "I was wrong, son..." Surge admitted, "You're a man... it ain't up ta me to decide how ya live your life, or what ya do. It's just dat your mom an' I thought dat things were best dis way, but maybe we were wrong..." "Mom's very sick, Dad," Finnick told Surge, "IF is being taken care of by a friend of hers, when really... it should be you." "She's... what?" Lt. Surge questioned, suddenly starting to feel a sense of guilt over not taking care of IF while his ex-wife was sick. "So... still think that ignoring them for so long was a good idea?" Finnick asked his father. Without responding to his son, Lt. Surge left to go back to the outside of the gym, asking his son, "Ya comin'?" "Uhh, sure," Finnick replied as he followed him, "Come on, Raichu." "Rai," Rachu replied, nodding as he climbed up Finnick's shoulder. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Vermilion Gym (Again)~ "Hey there... sorry ya had ta see dat," Lt. Surge apologized as he, Finnick, and Raichu stepped outside the gym. Walking over to IF, Lt. Surge said, "So, uhh... IF... ya know, I never thought I'd see ya ever again. When your mom an' I divorced, we thought it'd be best if ya stayed wit' her while Finnick stayed wit' me. I know you musta have a lot o' questions. How 'bout we go in an' have a lil' family chat." "Sounds good to me," Finnick said, "Let's all go inside." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ: Florent's Office~ Spoiler: BGM "Umm, I didn't say you had to fly there... just that you could've called Turbo and asked him to transfer funds to your bank account. But hey, if you've got another solution, then whatever floats your boat," Xigbar replied, shrugging. Just then, an announcement was made throughout the Crystal Order headquarters, stating, "Will all present please report to the entrance for the funeral of our fallen brother, Saïx." "Well, guess I'll be going," Xigbar commented as he left, "Catch ya later, Florent." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ "Eh, probably," Grandpa Hino replied to his granddaughter, "Personally, I would've loved to see the entire audience tear the guy to shreds... uh, whaddya think Chad... too brutal?" "Piplup," Chad replied, shrugging. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ "Uhh, I'm sure Mini Moon had some more important things to do then to kick a rich bully's butt..." Rini commented as she sweatdropped after hearing Serena say that she wanted to see Sailor Mini Moon. 'Okay...' Sammy thought to himself, wondering why Serena and Rini decided to bring up the topic of Sailor Mini Moon all of a sudden. Once Ami appeared, Rini greeted her, "Hi Ami, nice to meet you." "Ami! What a pleasant surprise!" Ikuko greeted her daughter's friend, "You've missed one doozy of a show." Elsewhere, upon hearing Leslie wondering what happened, Rarity said, "Oh you should've seen it. The telephones that the volunteers were using to talk to donors stopped working. After that, some man, who I believe was outbidding the Muppets for control of the building, barges in, goes on stage, and demands that the Muppets leave on the basis that they're trespassing on private property, in a rather rude manner I might add. But then, it was revealed that he was with the Crystal Order. Certainly a shocking a development. Anyway, he tried running away, but was stopped by that dashing young man over there, the one wearing a rather stylish and maginificent tuxedo. Oh, and will you look at that, it appears the authorities have arrived." Arriving on stage were several members of the Tokyo Police Department, including Looker and Officer Jenny... "Unbelievable..." Looker commented as Tex was lowered down to the floor and apprehended by police officers, "The Tex Richman... a member of the Crystal Order. What has the world come to?" As she placed handcuffs on him, Officer Jenny told Tex, "Mr. Richman, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything y-" "Yeah yeah yeah, I know," an annoyed Tex interrupted Jenny, "I'm not in the mood right now, Officer." As Officer Jenny took him away, Fozzie wondered out loud, "So... if he's being arrested... then who gets to own the building?" "Good question, Fozzie," Kermit replied. "Umm, Mr. Kermit... I need 30 seconds of your time in the back," Looker told the Muppet, with Kermit nodding in reply, and heading backstage with Looker. "Whaddya suppose they're talking about?" Gonzo asked. "Not sure," Clemont replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Kuzco's Tokyo Home~ "Thanks," Kuzco replied as he patted Don on his back and then exited the vehicle, "Take care buddy. If you need anything... something that bothers you that you want me to bring up in parliament, just let me know, especially after all you've done for me. It's my job as a member of parliament after all to listen to citizens' complaints and requests. Just go on mpkuzco.com, and send me a message if you wanna bring something up, or even to just say hi, 'kay?"
~Flower Shop~ After Harold suddenly apologized for not mentioning being a wizard (despite no one else even bringing up the topic), Carter decided to play a trick on him, whispering to Lee, "Watch this..." Once Harold mentioned memory removal, Carter pretended to not believe in such a thing, saying, "Pfft, that's impossible!" And once Harold gave another long answer, Carter started to laugh out loud, telling Harold, "Hey man, I was jus' kidding. You really think I don't believe in dat stuff? I met lots o' people wit' magic long before I met you. I know about da things they do. It ain't like how it is where you came from. Hey Lee, ever met some people with magic powers in China?" "Yes. Quite a lot actually," Lee responded. "See Harold? Same thing in China," Carter told Harold, "We don't give a damn if you a wizard or not. Maybe they do where you come from, but here, it's perfectly normal." "Heh, he kinda has a point," Matt told Harold, "Remember what I told you when we first met? Japan hasn't had a Ministry of Magic in over a century. Japan's magical community has long been integrated into society. More and more countries are now doing the same thing, embracing their magic communities and integrating them in their society. Of course, that's not the case where you come from, but I wouldn't be surprised if things change in the United Kingdom a few years from now. But enough about that, you still haven't told me whether you want to come back here, or continue staying at my apartment." *********** OOC: Wanted to include a whole lot more, but seeing as how I'm extremely busy, I was only able to post a short segment, so if you're waiting for me (in other words, @NutheadBros ), I promise to respond in my next post
~Subway Restaurant~ As Skye and the others ate their sandwiches, she noticed Fitz and Simmons talking with each other like any two best friends would. Looking around, Skye noticed other duos sitting and doing the same thing. Skye then began to remember Kai and the good times she had with her before their argument on Tuesday. "Skye, you okay?" Shining Armor asked Skye. "Oh, it's nothing..." Skye instantly replied, "It's just... I've been thinking about Kai and stuff..." "You miss her, don't you?" Shining Armor asked. "I'm still disappointed that she kept S-types a secret from me," Skye replied, "But despite all that... she was still a good person." "Hmmm...." Shining Armor pondered out loud, "If you want my advice, Skye..." Approaching Skye, Shining Armor whispered something into Skye's ear. Once he finished whispering, Skye was surprised by what he said, asking the pony, "You sure about this?" Silently nodding, General Shining Armor replied, "We can go once we're done." --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Ruins~ "Yeah, and maybe Thrax and I can help out as well once he gets better. I'd love to show that puny Rider what I'm made of," Goldar replied, "But let's get out of here first. This place is giving me the creeps, especially if there really are ghosts." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Parking~ "YEEHAW!!" Tex Richman hollered as he drove straight towards the telephone pole he noticed, ramming it, and causing it to collapse. Giggling as he got out of his car, Richman noticed Ami, telling her, "Don't worry darlin', nothing to see here. Just taking care of a pest problem." Tex then hurried towards the theater... --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ "Well everyone, looks like we've had a very fun night," Kermit told the audience as he was standing on stage with the rest of the Muppets, plus Diantha (and her Gardevoir), Clemont, Bonnie (and her Dedenne), Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak, "I'm told that if donations keep coming in, then in just a few minutes, we'll have enough money to buy back our theater!" The audience applauded upon hearing Kermit say that the Muppets were close to meeting their goal. Just then, the volunteers who were answering calls to accept donations noticed that their phones were suddenly dead. "Hello? Hello?" The Rock said as he lost contact with a donor on the phone. "Uh, guys... my phone's dead," Stephen Colbert commented. "Same," Powerline added. "My phone's dead as well," Chef Ramsay said. "W-What's going on?" Gonzo asked as the confused audience began murmuring. 'Okay, now this is weird...' Darien thought to himself. "I don't know..." Kermit replied, "Scooter!" Scooter then hurried to the stage upon hearing his name being called... "What is it, Kermit?" Scooter asked. "What's going on with the phones?" Kermit questioned. "Not sure," Scooter replied, "Could be a problem with our phone provider." "Well... how much money have we made so far?" Kermit nervously asked. "999 million yen," Scooter answered. "Oh, we were so close!" Fozzie cried, "One more million, and we could've bought back the theater!" "Uhh... Clemont! Think you can fix the telephones just as you did with the building's power supply?" Kermit asked Clemont. "I could, but it'd take hours," Clemont replied, "It's not as simple as supplying the building with electricity." "This ain't good..." Dr. Teeth commented as he shook his head. "Well well well..." Tex Richman said as he walked towards the stage... "Tex?" Diantha thought out loud. "Hello, dear," Richman replied to Diantha, "Haven't seen you since we broke up. And if it isn't Kermit the Frog and his loser Muppets." "How rude!" Rarity scoffed. "You can say that again," Sammy concurred with Rarity. "I did it! I beat you!" Tex told Kermit and the others on stage, "Game over, Kermit. You lost. Too late, Muppets... I won! This show is over!" The audience then started to boo at Tex Richman, showing their support for the Muppets. "Get off the stage!" Professor Sycamore heckled. "Fokka!" Sycamore's Fennekin angrily concurred. "Nyapah!" Sycamore's Espurr added, feeling just as angry. "Wow, the audience is actually booing," Waldorf commented. "Now those are my kind of people," Statler replied as he and Waldorf both chuckled. "Boo, boo, boo all you want!" Tex berated the audience, "Doesn't change the fact that this building is now mine! That's right... you Muppets are standing on private property. My private property! And I'm telling you to leave. NOW!" Sighing, Kermit sorrowfully said, "He's right, everybody. He won. We gotta go." The others on stage, as well as the audience, gasped upon hearing what Kermit just said. "No..." Manon said to herself. "Leemo..." Harry sadly concurred as Hiccup shook his head in disapproval. Just then, Beaker was nervously stepping back after hearing that he and the rest of the Muppets had to leave. Upon stepping backwards, the timid Muppet bumped into the Glove Magnet machine from an earlier act, accidentally activating it. "Mee mee meep!" Beaker cried, not wanting to go through the same thing with the machine again. However, the Glove Magnet was magnetically attracting the glove on Tex's right hand. "What's... going... on?!" Tex questioned as he felt and invisible force pulling his hand towards the machine. His right glove then came off, and flew towards the Glove Magnet, revealing the palm of Tex's right hand. The audience gasped upon noticing the ever familiar Crystal Order emblem on Tex Richman's right palm, indicating that he was a member of the evil group. "He's with the Crystal Order!" Yukio cried. 'Wait... that picture on his hand... I know I've seen it before,' Rini thought to herself, recognizing the emblem from her time in the future. 'The Crystal Order is involved!? That's it... time to take care of this...' Darien thought to himself as he got up from his seat and left. "Darien?" Rini wondered aloud as she noticed Darien get up and leave. "What, this? Pfft, this is nothing," Tex told the surprised audience as he tried to laugh off the fact that the Crystal Order emblem was on his right hand, "It was just a tattoo I got during my crazy days at college. You know how college is, right?" The audience remained silent, while Diantha walked up towards him, telling him, "You were many things, Tex... but a member of the Crystal Order... I don't even know you anymore..." "Okay, okay... let's all just assume that I am with the Crystal Order, even if I'm not, my record's clean... I didn't do any bad things," Tex said, "It's not like I asked some guy to go to an elementary school and take out some kids, hehe..." Bonnie, her Dedenne, Sweetie Belle, Pipsqueak, Rini, and Sammy all gasped upon hearing Tex Richman say that. It suddenly made sense to them... he was the one responsible for the attack at Nintendo Elementary earlier in the day. Had Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, or Pipsqueak been killed by Thrax during the incident, then the Muppet telethon surely woud've been cancelled as he wanted. "That was YOU?!" Jessebelle yelled as she angrily got up from her seat. "Oh boy..." Tex nervously said to himself as it seemed like everyone in the theater wanted to apprehend him, "Uh... LOOK OVER THERE!" Pointing his finger towards the ceiling, mostly everyone in the theater fell for it as they looked up, with Tex running away, saying to himself, "Heh, suckers..." Right before he was about to leave the stage, something wooshed right past Tex towards the floor. Looking down, Tex noticed a rose pierced through the floor. "What the..." a confused Tex commented. "Huh? Look, there's a guy on the ramp up there!" Sweetie Belle said, pointing to a ramp above the stage. As everyone's attention turned to the ramp, they noticed a masked man wearing a tuxedo... Spoiler: BGM "How dare you disturb the sanctity of the theater," Tuxedo Mask scolded Tex Richman, "The theater is a place meant to express artistic talents, not for Crystal Order thugs such as yourself to terrorize!" Turning away, Tex tried to run away once again. "Oh no you don't!" Tuxedo Mask said as he grabbed a nearby rope, lassoed it towards Richman's left foot, catching him, and causing Tex to trip. Tying the other end of the rope to a sandbag next to him, Tuxedo Mask dropped the heavy sandbag to the floor, causing Tex to be pulled right up to the ramp by his foot. "Get me down from here!" Tex angrily demanded as he was hanging upside down. "Oh we'll get you down alright. Just as soon as the police get here," Tuxedo Mask replied as he climbed down a ladder. Once he landed on stage, everyone in the theater cheered for him, something he didn't expect. Nevertheless, Tuxedo Mask smiled, and bowed down. "Everyone, please give a round of applause for... umm... what's your name?" Kermit asked Tuxedo Mask. "You can call me... Tuxedo Mask," Tuxedo Mask replied. "Tuxedo Mask, everyone," Kermit told the audience as they applauded along with the other Muppets. "Wow, he's such a hero," Rini said as she applauded, "I like him." "Yeah, what he did was pretty cool," Sammy concurred as he applauded as well. "Oh, if only I knew who he was," Ikuko commented. "Agreed," Kenji concurred with his wife, "I'd certainly like to personally thank him for saving the show." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ: Florent's Office~ Spoiler: BGM "Having some money problems?" Xigbar asked Florent after overhearing his phone conversation, "Y'know, there is a really easy fix for that. Now that we have Turbo pretending to be King Candy, ruler of the, I might add, extremely rich Middle Eastern country of Kuwait, and secretly funding the Crystal Order, I'm sure if you asked nicely, he'll be able to chip in." Noticing the Muppet Telethon on Florent's television, Xigbar saw what happened between Tex Richman and Tuxedo Mask. "Tsk, tsk, looks like the Order's plans for the theater were ruined by my old pal, Tuxedo Mask," Xigbar commented, "Guess the S-types hidden under the Muppet Theater are gonna have to wait a little longer before they're saved." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ "Young girl?" Grandpa wondered out loud as he scratched his head, "Oh, you mean the one with pink hair. Huh... didn't know Serena had little a sister." Grandpa then watched as Tex Richman tried to kick the Muppets out, but was then revealed to be a Crystal Order member, and was stopped by Tuxedo Mask. "Grrr... that darn Crystal Order!" Grandpa angrily said, "Always has to cause trouble everywhere you go! 25 years... and nothing has changed... it's the same thing with them over and over again!" "Piplup piplup!" Chad cried, trying to calm Grandpa down. "Ugh... you're right Chad... gotta control my anger and make sure my blood pressure doesn't go up," Grandpa replied to Chad, "Well, good thing that guy with the tuxedo saved the show." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets - Don's Car~ As Kuzco was being driven to his home by Don, he heard the police radio in Don's car mention a Crystal Order member in the Muppet theater. "Another Crystal Order member? Man, it's gonna be really busy when I get back to parliamentary duties," Kuzco commented as he noticed Don approaching his residence, "Oh, right here Don. You can park over there." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flower Shop~ "Aight, see ya later, Kiriko," Carter replied as Kiriko left. About a minute later, Carter felt his phone vibrate. Taking it out, he read a text message sent to him, surprised b what he was reading. "Holy s***!" Carter said as after reading the message. "What is it?" Lee asked. "It was the chief," Carter answered, "Get this... after Shan-Yu got busted, another Crystal Order member was arrested! Can you believe it?!" "Really?" Lee asked. "Uh-huh," Carter answered as he nodded his head, "Some old chick named Yzma, had somethin' to do wit' Kuzco, da missing member of parliament."

~Wherever Vergil Is~ "Like you, Vergil... I care about the protection of the inhabitants of this world, and would do anything to protect them," the demon replied, "There is an evil being who intends to do much harm to the world. His name... is Shinnok. And I believe you are capable of stopping him. However, the time is not yet right. It may be tomorrow, next week, next month, or even one year from now... but when the time is right, I will appear to you once again, and ask for your help you in stopping his threat. Remember that... Vergil." Mother Talzin then teleported away from the area, leaving behind a plume of green mist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Muppets Theater Japan - Backstage~ As Kermit was thinking about Miss Piggy, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Small Town in Scotland - Hotel Room~ As Severus Snape silently looked out the window, he heard a knock on his door. "Come in," Snape responded, with the daughter of the town's provost/mayor, Merida, entering with an envelope... "Hello Mr. Snape. An owl brought this letter. It's for ye," Merida told Snape as she handed him an envelope. "Thank you," Snape replied as he observed the envelope. "Nice day we're having, yeah?" Merida said. "Yes, nice day indeed..." Snape replied as he went back to staring out the window. "Well... I'll see ye later, Mr. Snape," Merida said as she left, "Oh, and don't forget. Dad invited ye to a dinner with the family on Sunday." Snape silently nodded as Merida exited the room. Opening the envelope, Snape noticed the letter was from his old friend, Lily, where she mentioned arriving in Japan safely, while also mentioning her son, Harry, as well as James and Sirius. As he started to reminisce of the day he first met her, Snape snapped out of it, focusing on a castle in the distance that he intended to search the next day, while thinking of what to write back to Lily. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Ruins~ "Lord Zedd!" Goldar cried as he arrived at the area where Zedd was, "I heard about what happened with the Rider. I should've been there to teach that Rider a lesson! Uhh, you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ "Hey Rei, sorry you had to see that," Grandpa Hino greeted his granddaughter as he stopped crying and wiped the tears from his face. "Piplup," Chad added, nodding in agreement as he too wiped the tears from his face. "Oh, almost forgot... I saw your friend, Serena, in the audience with her family," Grandpa told Rei, "I didn't know that she'd be going. Did you?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Flower Shop~ "Hehehehe, Osha..." Foggy giggled as he was counting the money Harold paid Matt. "So, you thinking about coming back to reside in this building like you did before we met?" Matt whispered to Harold, "If not, you're more than welcome to stay at my place." "These look beautiful," Lee told Aerith as he noticed the tulips and lilies that she had. "Yeah, they are," Carter told Lee, "Be glad Harold's Philosopher's Stone saved yo' life or else these flowers would be on ya grave." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Building Where Yzma Resides~ "Oh," Looker replied after hearing what Don said, walking over to Pacha, Silver, and Kuzco. "You two have my utmost thanks. Thank you," Looker told Pacha and Silver, who silently nodded in reply. "And as for you, sir, it's great to see you safe," Looker told Kuzco, "We honestly weren't sure we'd be lucky in finding you like we did with Queen Elsa. But thank goodness that wasn't the case. I'm sure you would like to go home now and get a long rest. Don can take you on his car." "Yeah, uhh, can you just give me a few seconds with the guys?" Kuzco asked. "Sure," Looker replied as he walked away. Walking over to Pacha and Silver, Kuzco said, "Hey guys... thanks for everything. I really owe you one. As a matter of fact, I think I'd like to talk about a new idea I have for Porta Vista with you guys... before I bring it up in parliament." "Sounds like a good idea," Silver replied. "Chika!" Silver's Chikorita concurred, while Pacha silently nodded. Smiling, Kuzco and Silver shook hands, while Kuzco and Pacha shared a brotherly hug. "I, uh... gotta go. Have a safe trip back home to Porta Vista,," Kuzco said as he waved goodbye and walked towards Don while Pacha, Silver, and silver's Chikorita waved goodbye. "So, looks like you'll be taking me home," Kuzco told Don, "It's not far from here. Should be 5 to 10 minute drive." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Subway Restaurant~ "All done," Fitz said as he carried his sandwich, drink, and chips on a tray, and sat next to Simmons. "Mmm, what did you get?" Jemma asked. "Spicy Italian," Leo replied, "It's alright, but nothing can beat your prosciutto sandwich with buffalo mozzarella, and my favorite... a hint of a hint of pesto aioli." "Aww, thanks, Fitz," Simmons replied as the two ate their dinner. In another table, May and Alan were seated, eating their sandwiches without even saying a word to each other... And in a third table, Skye joined Shining Armor after paying for her meal... "So, what'd you get?" Skye asked Shining as she started eating her steak and cheese sandwich. "Veggie Delight," the pony replied as he took a bite of his sandwich. "Veggie? That's like the worst option out of the list," Skye remarked. "In case you haven't noticed... I am a vegetarian," Shining Armor replied. "Oh right... keep forgetting that detail about ponies," Skye apologized, "Sorry." "Don't worry about it," Shining Armor responded as he took a sip of his drink. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ 'Women...' Darien thought to himself as he saw Serena and her mother crying right in front of him, rolling his eyes. Scooter then arrived on stage after being asked by Kermit to take over hosting duty... "Uhhh...." Scooter nervously said as he faced the audience, remembering the tip Kermit gave him about how to conquer his stage fright, "You are all naked. Well, sorta..." The audience gasped in response while Scooter imagined them all in their underwear. "Oh my goodness!" Rarity cried as she tried covering herself. "Uhh, do you even normally wear clothes?" Rini asked Rarity. "Oh, hehe, you're quite right," Rarity responded, "Oh, silly me." Looking at each other, Hiccup and Manon shrugged, not sure why Scooter even said that to the audience. "Okay... great," Scooter said as he got over his stage fright, "Now let's give a round of applause for Kermit the Frog as he sings an old classic." As Scooter left, the curtain opened to reveal a set resembling a swamp, with Kermit sitting on a log in the middle while carrying a banjo... Kermit then started to play the following song on his banjo and sing: Spoiler: BGM [Kermit] Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions but only illusions and rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me *Miss Piggy then arrives in a boat, floating towards Kermit, and sits right next to him* [Miss Piggy] Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it Look what it's done so far [Kermit and Miss Piggy] What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection *The rest of the Muppets, plus Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, Pipsqueak, Clemont, and Diantha walk towards the stage while holding hands* [Kermit and Miss Piggy] The lovers, the dreamers, and me All of us under its spell We know that it's probably... *The rest of the gang starts to sing along, along with some members of the audience who knew the lyrics* [Kermit, Miss Piggy, the rest of the gang, and some audience members] ...Magic Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same [Kermit] I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be *Animal arrives with his drums, and plays a drum solo to accompany the song* [Kermit, Miss Piggy, the rest of the gang] Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me La, da, da, di, da, da, do, Da, da, da, da, da, di, da, do The audience erupted in applause as the song concluded, with everyone on stage bowing down. "Piggy?" Kermit whispered to Miss Piggy, "Will you stay? For me?" "For you Kermie? Of course," Piggy replied as she gave him a kiss, with some audience members going 'Awwwww'. "That's so sweet," Jessebelle commented as she applauded. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Parking~ Arriving at the theater's parking once again, Tex Richman looked around to see if there was anything else he could do to stop the Muppets from the raising the money they needed. Noticing a nearby telephone pole, Richman grinned as he thought of a plan.
it's for a school art project that's 25% of your grade. No dying hair gets you a zero.
~Taxi~ "Uhh, IF... you already told me that," Finnick replied when IF told him about their mother and Compa. Minutes later, the taxicab arrived right next to Vermilion City Gym, and the taxi driver told Finnick, "Alright kid, that'll 3,000 yen." "Yes sir," Finnick replied as he took out his wallet, and handed the driver three 1,000 yen bills, "Let's go, guys." "Raichu!" Raichu replied as Finnick opened the door on his side, getting out of the vehicle with Raichu, and going to the other side, opening IF's door and helping her out. "And here we are," Finnick told IF as the taxicab drove away, "Welcome to Vermilion City, Japan." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Wherever Vergil Is~ "Hmph, put your blade away. I have no desire to fight you," Talzin replied to Vergil, "What I want, is to find someone with a certain strength. The skills you just displayed were exactly what I was looking for. Consider what you went through a test of my own doing. Congratulations, Vergil... you have passed." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo - Outside a Subway Restaurant~ "...alright, I'll talk to you later, honey," Shining Armor said as he was speaking with someone on his cell phone, "Love you too." As he hung up, Skye asked him, "You got a girlfriend?" "Wife, actually," Shining Armor replied. "Oh, I had no idea you were married," Skye said, surprised by Shining's answer, "What's her name?" "Mi Amore Cadenza," Shining Armor answered, "Or, just simply, 'Cadance' for short." Browsing through his phone's image gallery, Shining Armor enlarged an image of himself and Cadance, showing it to Skye. Spoiler: Image on Shining Armor's Phone View attachment 44060 "This was us on our wedding day," Shining told Skye as she was looking at the image. "Wow, she looks great," Skye commented, "You both do." "Thanks," General Shining Armor replied as he put his phone away. "Guys," May called out to Skye and Shining Armor as she approached the two... "So, anything new?" Shining asked Melinda. "I just spoke with Bon Bon," May replied, "Trail's cold. Creel could be anywhere right now." "Dammit..." Skye complained. "And the 0-8-4?" Shining asked. "It's been secured," Melinda answered, "Don't worry. Creel and his buddies wouldn't even dare getting anywhere near it if they value their lives." "Still... it sucks that he got away so quick," Skye said. "Don't worry Skye. We'll get him eventually," Shining Armor replied as he patted Skye on her back, "Now if that's all there is... I think I'm gonna go and get myself a sandwich. I'm so hungry." The pony then walked towards Subway, with Skye telling May, "Yeah, umm... I think I'm gonna go with him." "I'll get the others," May replied as Skye followed Shining Armor while May went to get the other members of the team to join Shining Armor and Skye. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~CNN Live Broadcast~ "This is CNN Breaking News," a voice said as the the screen was now showing Wolf Blitzer once again in the newsroom with the headline 'Japanese MP, Kuzco, Has Been Found' in the bottom of the screen. "Welcome back to CNN... breaking news right now coming out of Tokyo," Wolf Blitzer said, "Kuzco, a member of the Japanese parliament, who has been missing for days, has finally been located, and is alive and well. As for the culprit behind it, it was revealed to be none other than Kuzco's own secretary. Kuzco's secretary, named Yzma, has been discovered to be a member of the Crystal Order, and was involved in spying on the Japanese parliament for the group. We'll have more information as we get them, so please stay tuned." The screen then went black as CNN then went to a commercial break. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Building Where Yzma Resides~ "You're making a big mistake you fools!" Yzma complained as she was taken to a police car (while inside a small cage). "Take her away! And make sure her entire penthouse is searched for any potential evidence!" Looker ordered as the police officer carrying the evil cat threw her cage inside a police car and drove away. "Heh, two members of the Crystal Order in a day. The Tokyo Police Department's on a roll," Looker commented as he turned to face Don, "Excellent work, Don." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ "Excuse me, pardon me," Rarity said as she was trying to find an empty seat, noticing one on Rini's left side, "Excuse me, dear, but is this seat taken?" "Nope. You can have it," Rini replied, "My entire family's sitting on my right side." "She's right," Kenji added, "You can take that seat, ma'am." "Splendid!" Rarity said as she sat on the empty seat, "Oh I do hope I get to see Sweetie Belle do something before the show ends." Hearing Rarity mention Sweetie Belle's name, Rini asks, "Wait, you know Sweetie Belle?" "Why yes... Sweetie Belle happens to be my sister," Rarity answered. "No way!" Rini said, "Sweetie Belle's my friend!" "Oh, you don't say... though, how come she never mentioned you?" Rarity replied. "Well, I only just met her at school today," Rini answered, "But she and I already became good friends." "Oh I see," Rarity, "Well, I'm glad Sweetie Belle has another friend at school." Kermit the Frog then entered the stage to introduce the next act... "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor to once again introduce Diantha into the stage!" Kermit told the audience as they applauded while Diantha made her way on stage with her Gardevoir... As Kermit went backstage, Diantha faced the audience, saying, "If you all don't mind, I'd like to say a few words before Gardevoir and I start with our next performance. Years ago, I had lost my way. I had dug myself a hole so deep that it would've seemed impossible to get out, and that I would be doomed to failure. But then... I met a friend who helped me see the light again, to see that it was not too late for me. He gave me another chance at life... and I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him." Noticing Professor Sycamore in the audience with Fennekin and Espurr, Diantha smiled at them, with the professor and his two Pokemon silently smiling back at her. "And yet, despite his help... recently, I was about to repeat the same mistake," Diantha continued, "I put my trust in someone I thought was honest... despite what others said about him, and would constantly defend him. However, a young man then approached me, telling me that the very person I trusted was doing something I wouldn't approve of. I couldn't believe it when I first heard, but I can tell that this young man was telling the truth. Then when I approached the person I trusted... the truth was revealed to me, and I had discovered that I put my trust in a liar. But if anything, I am thankful to this young man for saving me, just as my friend from years ago saved me as well. This next song is dedicated to the both of them. And it serves as a reminder to myself. It may be familiar, but yet, it's totally different." The curtain then opened to reveal nothing but a piano in the middle. Walking over to the piano, Diantha and her Gardevoir both took a seat in front of it, with the theater lights dimming, and the spotlight focused on the two. Diantha and her Gardevoir then started to play the following song: Spoiler: BGM [Diantha] I'm here to show you who I am Threw off the veil, it's finally time There's more to me than glitz and glam, oh-whoa And now I feel my stars align For I had believed what I was sold *As Diantha sang, some audience members held up lighters and waved them* I did all the things that I was told But all that has changed, and now I'm bold 'Cause I know That I am only human I make mistakes from time to time But now I know the real me And put my heart out on the line And let the magic in my heart stay true Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa And let the magic in my heart stay true Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Just like the magic inside of you *As Professor Sycamore's began to tear up, he and his Fennekin and Espurr embraced each other* And now I see those colors Right before my eyes I hear my voice so clearly And I know that it is right They thought I was weak, but I am strong They sold me the world, but they were wrong And now that I'm back, I still belong 'Cause I know *Diantha's Key Stone on her pendant then began to shine brightly* That I am only human I make mistakes from time to time But now I know the real me And put my heart out on the line *Diantha's eyes then began to shed tears as she continued singing* And let the magic in my heart stay true Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa And let the magic in my heart stay true Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa Just like the magic inside of you Just like the magic inside of you... Once the song ended, the audience gave a standing ovation to Diantha, with the actress and her Pokemon getting up, and bowing. "That was so emotional and beautiful!" Ikuko cheered as tears trickled down her face. "Mom, are you... crying?" Sammy asked Ikuko as he applauded. "Yes!" Ikuko replied as she continued crying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan - Backstage~ As the audience outside applauded for Diantha, the following happened backstage: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage Walking over to Miss Piggy's dresser, Kermit found an airplane ticket back to Lumiose City, France scheduled for tomorrow. Sighing, Kermit wondered if after his act with Miss Piggy, that it would possibly the last time he ever sees her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ Watching Diantha's performance conclude, both Grandpa and Chad started to tear up. "That was... straight from the heart..." Grandpa commented as he was sniffling. "Piplup..." Chad concurred. As Grandpa Hino and Chad both looked at each other, the two started sobbing and hugged each other. "I love you, Chad!" Grandpa told Chad as he continued sobbing. "Piplup!" Chad concurred as he continued sobbing as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ Thrax slowly exited from his room (with the assistance of Goldar), still hurt from the damage to his chest by Sailor Mini Moon, and noticed Prince Vekar and Vrak. "Ah, you must be Vekar and Vrak. Mother and Father told me much about you," Thrax told the two, "I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting one another before. I am Thrax. AH!" "You're still hurt," Goldar told Thrax as he cried in pain. "Grr... help me sit down, Goldar!" Thrax ordered, with Goldar helping him walk towards a chair, and helping him gently sit down. "Forgive me," Thrax told Vrak and Vekar, pointing to the wound in his chest, "But this fresh wound here is causing me much pain." "Where's Lord Zedd?" Goldar asked Rita. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Flower Shop~ Finally arriving at the flower shop, Lee, Carter, Murdock, and Foggy got out of Carter's car, with Carter complaining, "Dat's da last time I take that road! Traffic was hell! Oh, hey Kiriko!" Carter waved towards Kiriko as Lee noticed Harold Flamel. Walking towards him, Lee handed Harold back the Philosopher's stone, telling him, "This stone saved my life. Thank you." "Harold," Matt called out to Flamel as he and Foggy approached him, "Don't know if you heard, but Aerith was saved. If I'm not mistaken, they're celebrating inside." "Oshawott!" Foggy concurred.
~Taxi~ As the taxicab drove towards a highway, Finnick replied, "Kinda boring to be honest. But I guess that's only 'cause I've lived there my whole life. Only interesting thing is getting to see some amazing cruise ships dock there, as well as their passengers coming and going." "Rai?" a surprised Raichu said as he noticed Sonic. "Friend of yours?" Finnick asked IF. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo District 12: Katniss's Home~ Opening the door after hearing a knock, Prim found her sister, Katniss, along with Haymitch on her shoulder, finally arrive... "There you are, Katniss," Prim greeted her sister, "Rue said you were busy with something." "Yeah, sorry I'm late, Prim," Katniss replied as she entered, "I'm just really tired." "Well, I made some potato casserole," Prim told Katniss, "If you're hungry." "I guess. I am a bit hungry," Katniss replied as she went to the kitchen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Entrance to Building Where Yzma Resides~ "For the last time, no one in this building ordered a giant trampoline," the landlord insisted to a delivery guy who was supposed to deliver a trampoline. "You know, pal, you could have told me that before I set it up," the delivery guy replied, annoyed that he had to take the large trampoline from his truck and place it on the ground. And at that moment, Yzma fell right into the trampoline... The trampoline then sent the cat bouncing back straight up towards her penthouse, with the following happening: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "Heh, you did it. You're finally a human again," Pacha said after Kuzco finally turned back to a human. "Thanks... for everything," Kuzco replied, smiling, as he and Pacha shook hands. "Ahoy there!" a voice called out to the two. Looking up, Pacha and Kuzco noticed Silver and Don riding on Salamance... "So you're finally a human again?" Silver asked Kuzco as Salamance landed next to where they were, with Kuzco silently nodding in reply. "And Yzma?" Silver asked once more. "Over there," Pacha replied, pointing towards Kronk and Yzma. "You okay there, little kitty?" Kronk asked Yzma as he carried her while she continued seeing stars. After snapping out of it, Yzma noticed Kronk, angrily berating him, "You fool! You ruined everything!" Gasping, Kronk thought aloud, "Yzma?" "Wait she's a cat now?" Silver asked. "Yup," Kuzco replied. "Well I'll be..." Silver commented as he watched Yzma continuing to berate Kronk, "Chikorita, you know what to do." "Chika!" Silver's Chikorita replied as she nodded, using her vines to grab Yzma and wrap her tight. "Hey! Let go of me you walking vegetable!" Yzma demanded. "Well Don, here's your criminal," Silver told Don as he pointed to Yzma. ------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ "For our next act, join us, as we take a trip to the date of October 31st, to the spooky and spectacular world of Halloween!" Kermit told the audience as he left and the lights in the theater dimmed, with the curtain opening to reveal a set resembling a dark forest, where trees were labelled with drawings representing different holidays. Standing near the tree labelled with a drawing of a jack-o-lantern, Rowlf turned to face the audience and started to speak... "'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story that you are about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun!" Rowlf said as he opened a doorknob on the jack-o-lantern tree, with the entire stage going dark, and the following music playing throughout the theater... Spoiler: BGM A scarecrow then floated across the stage, with a new set appearing, resembling a graveyard, where creepy looking shadows appeared throughout several tombstones. [Shadows] Boys and girls of every age Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

I am the wind blowing through your hair *A shadow of the Swedish Chef then appeared on the moon prop* [The Swedish Chef] I em zee shedoo oon zee muun et neeght Feelling yuoor dreems tu zee breem veet freeght *The moon prop is then pulled away, with the stage now revealing a set resembling a halloween-themed town square, with a fountain and guillotine. Along with that, some Muppets were pulling a wooden horse that the scarecrow from before was riding* [Muppets] This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! *As the guillotine on stage sliced a jack-o-lantern, Sweetie Belle (dressed as a vampire), Bonnie (dressed as the 'Frankenstein' monster's wife), and Pipsqueak (dressed as a zombie) emerged near it* [Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak] Tender lumplings everywhere Life's no fun without a good scare *Clemont then appears, dressed as a creepy clown* [Clemont] That's our job, but we're not mean In our town of Halloween *Kermit then returns in his mummy costume with other Muppets, some carrying wooden torches* [Kermit] In this town Don't we love it now?

Halloween! La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! La la-la la, Yay! Diantha then stepped away from the fountain and bowed down as everyone applauded. "Bravo!" Ms. Frizzle cheered as she applauded. "I'd say this is my personal favorite so far," Jessebelle whispered to Ms. Frizzle. "Fantastic production design," Ikuko said as she applauded as well, with her husband nodding in reply. "Well, that was scary," Statler commented. "Really?" Waldorf asked. "Yeah. It's scary to know the show has sunk this low," Statler replied, with the two elder hecklers chuckling. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Muppets Theater Japan - Backstage~ "Thanks for looking after Dedenne," Bonnie told Diantha's Gardevoir as she and her friends finished the performance of 'This is Halloween' and returned backstage. "Siiir," Gardevoir replied, handing Bonnie back her Dedenne, and walking away. "Deden!" Bonnie's Dedenne happily cried as it climbed up to Bonnie's head. "Well, so far so good, huh team?" Pipsqueak told Bonnie and Sweetie Belle. "Well, apart from the power going out, yeah," Bonnie answered. "Right," Sweetie Belle added, "Though, I really wish my sister, Rarity, would've been here. Too bad she's busy all the way in Italy." "Yoohoo, Sweetie Belle," a voice called out to Sweetie Belle. Turning around, Sweetie Belle was surprised to see it was none other than her sister, Rarity... "RARITY!" Sweetie Belle happily cried as she rushed to her sister and hugged her, "But I thought you were busy in Milan." "Oh don't worry about that, dear," Rarity replied to her sister, "All that matters is that I see you perform tonight. Sorry I'm late by the way. The plane from Milan was delayed a bit. Ugh, it's the last time I take Alitalia." "So you're Sweetie Belle's sister, huh? I'm Bonnie. This little one's Dedenne. And this is Pipsqueak," Bonnie told Rarity. "Deden," Bonnie's Dedenne greeted Rarity. "Hello, Rarity," Pipsqueak added. "Ah yes, Sweetie Belle told me all about you," Rarity replied, "I have to say, it's remarkable what you all are doing for the Muppets. You should all be proud of yourselves." "Thanks," Sweetie Belle, Pipsqueak, and Bonnie all simultaneously said as they blushed. "Well, I better find an empty seat in the theater," Rarity said as she headed towards the backstage's exit, "I'll talk to you after the show ends, Sweetie Belle." "Okay, Rarity," Sweetie Belle replied as Rarity left to find a seat. ------------------------------------------------------------ ~A.I.M. Building - Aldrich Killian's Office~ As Aldrich Killian was in his office, busy taking care of paperwork, he heard a knock on his door. "Come in," Killian replied. The door then opened, and in came Killian's secretary, Cadance... "Mr. Killian, I'm done for the day," Cadance said. "Alright Cadance. Good night," Aldrich replied. "Enjoy your weekend," Cadance said as she walked away, noticing that Killian's son, Max arrived, and was walking to his father's office... "Hey, Max," the pony greeted her boss's son. "Hey, Cadance," Max replied as Cadance left, heading towards the elevator. As he arrived to Aldrich's office, Max greeted his father, "Hey, Pops." "Hello, Max," Aldrich replied, "What's new?" Grabbing a remote control, Max switched the television in Killian's office on, and changed the channel to one that was covering the Muppet Telethon, saying, "Tex was trying to stop this telethon from happening. But it doesn't look like it worked out." Aldrich remained silent, simply watching the Muppet Telethon in silence. --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Streets - Tex Richman's Car~ Thinking that he stopped the Muppet Telethon for good by taking out the theater's power supply, Tex Richman was celebrating by rapping as he drove back to his penthouse... Spoiler: BGM [Tex Richman] I'm Tex Richman, Mr. Texas Tea People call me "Rich" 'cos I got mo' money I got more cheddar than some super size nachos Got cash flow like Robert has dinero$ I use more greens than Vincent van Gogh I make the baker bake my bread outta dough No, no, don't eat it though, it'll make you ill There ain't no flour in a hundred dollar bill *A group of women on a sidewalk Richman was passing by then began singing as well* [Group of Women] He's Tex Richman [Tex Richman] OH, YEAH! [Group of Women] Everybody listen [Tex Richman] HERE WE GO NOW! [Group of Women] Just how great it is to be him [Tex Richman] Oh, it's great to be me, yeah! [Group of Women] He's the greatest [Tex Richman] HEY, sing it again! [Group of Women] He's the greatest [Tex Richman] Ooh, it never gets old! [Group of Women] Muppets are a waste of time. Oh, can't you see? [Tex Richman] Little Muppets it's time to give up your dream! Once he finished rapping, Richman arrived at a red light, and stopped his car, looking around. A nearby electronics store caught his attention, with the televisions on display showing the Muppet Telethon live, surprising Tex. "What?! How'd they get the power back?!" Tex Richman yelled as he made a u-turn, intending to go back to the Muppet Theater. "Darn Muppets..." Richman angrily said to himself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ Grandpa and Chad were sitting and enjoying themselves as they were watching the Muppet Telethon... mostly just to see Diantha and Gardevoir. "Hehe, that was amazing," Grandpa commented after seeing Diantha do what she did for the performance of 'This is Halloween.' As the camera turned to show the audience, Grandpa noticed that one of the people attending was Serena with her family. "Hey, it's Rei's friend, Serena!" Grandpa commented. "Piplup," Chad concurred, nodding in agreement.
How I imagine you right now: ;~; Really sorry to see you go. It's a shame I never got to role-play with you (though I was happy to know Re: Mario's High School Days seemed to catch your attention a bit... before its convoluted plot scared you XD). Hope things get better for you. And don't ever forget KHV.
