~Tokyo's Shibuya District~ "Alright," Finnick replied to his sister as he raised his hand, signalling an incoming taxicab on the street, "Taxi!" The cab then stopped right near where Finnick and IF were, with Finnick telling the driver, "Vermilion City Gym." "Sure thing, kid. Hop on," the driver replied. "Let's go, IF, Raichu," Finnick told the two. "Rai," Raichu replied as the group headed towards Vermilion City by taxi. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse - Outside Ledge~ As Yzma fell, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "Kuzco!" Pacha cried for help as he was hanging on for his life. "Be right there! Give me a minute!" Kuzco replied as he tried to reach for the vial. "Kuzco! Whoa!" Pacha cried out once more, losing the grip he had on the ledge, "Kuzco!" Kuzco was then facing a personal dilemma, grab the vial and risk his friend falling to his doom, or save his friend and risk the potion that would turn him back to human falling to the ground and possibly never to be seen again. Just as Kuzco was about to reach the vial, Pacha was close to falling. Making a split-second decision, Kuzco rushes towards the ledge where Pacha was, and grabbed him right before he fell. Breathing a sigh of relief, Pacha smiled at Kuzco, with the llama smiling back as he pulled his friend up. "The vial!" Pacha cried as he pointed towards the vial, watching as it rolled off a ledge, and falling down to the ground... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Wherever Vergil Is~ "Wonderful! Such magnificent display of strength!" a female voice with a Russian accent complimented Vergil as the source of the voice approached him... "My apologies for sneaking up on you like that," the demon told Vergil, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mother Talzin. What is your name?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan~ After the performance of 'Forget You' by the Muppet chickens, the following performance was being performed on stage: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage After the performance, Kermit faced the audience once more, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're having a wonderful evening tonight. I'm proud to announce that so far, we have raised over 550 million yen! So remember, folks, keep on calling and you'll help us reach our goal of one billion yen by the end of the show. And i-" Kermit suddenly stopped talking as the lights in the theater went out. "Oh, dear. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be alarmed. We will get this sorted out just as soon as we can," told the audience as he headed backstage, "Scooter!" "Is there a blackout?" Manon asked Hiccup. "Not sure..." Hiccup responded. "That's weird..." Logan commented. "What's going on?" Yukio asked. "I don't know," Jack replied. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan - Back of the Building~ "Well, that's that," Tex Richman said after cutting the theater's power supply with his axe, "Nice try, Muppets!" Richman then hurried back to his car, and drove off. Meanwhile, Clemont, Bonnie (with her Dedenne), Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak stepped outside to check on the power supply... "Aha! There's our problem," Clemont said as he pointed towards the power supply. "It looks like someone cut it," Bonnie said. "But who would do such a thing?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Not sure," Clemont replied as he observed the power supply. "Can you fix it?" Pipsqueak asked. "As a matter of fact... I can," Clemont said as he adjusted his glasses. A few minutes later, Clemont was able to make good progress on repairing the power supply (with the assistance of the children). "Ten-gauge gator grip," Clemont requested, with Bonnie taking out what he needed from a toolbox and handing it to him. "Alright, almost done," Clemont said as he was putting the final touches, "All I need is for Dedenne to charge it up a bit." "Go ahead, Dedenne," Bonnie told her Pokemon. "Deden!" Dedenne replied as it climbed up the power supply. Placing the ends of two wires on Dedenne's two circle cheeks, Clemont said, "Alright Dedenne, give it everything you've got!" "De...DEN!!!!" Dedenne cried as it charged the power supply. Clemont then quickly pulled a nearby switch. Within a few seconds, power returned to the theater once again. "You did it bro!" Bonnie complimented her brother as Dedenne returned to Bonnie's shoulder, "You too, Dedenne." "Deden," Dedenne replied, nodding. "Hooray!" Sweetie Belle cheered. "Nice work, Clemont!" Pipsqueak congratulated him. "Heh, the future is now, thanks to science!" Clemont happily said, "Now let's go back inside." The three children then nodded, and followed Clemont back to the theater. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan (again)~ Once the power returned, the audience cheered. "Fokkafokka!" Sycamore's Fennekin cheered. "Panyapanyah!" Sycamore's Espurr cheered as well. "Heh, crisis averted," Professor Sycamore commented. "Yay, the power's back!" Rini cheered. "Hmm, that was weird," Kenji commented. "You said it, Kenji," Darien concurred. 'Could this have anything to do with my mission?' Darien thought to himself as Kermit appeared on stage... "Apologies for that folks, but now, we can return to our regularly scheduled programming," Kermit told the audience.
~Muppets Theater Japan~ "Technically, he actually called you Caba-, uh, Cabo-, umm... something in Spanish," Sammy told Serena, "Which just happened to translate to 'Meatball Head'." "Oh I'm sure he was just joking around, dear," Ikuko told Serena while Darien and Kenji were having a man-to-man talk, "But now that you mention it your hair does... hehe, never mind." "Shhhh, Kermit's back on stage," Rini told the others as Kermit walked towards the stage and the audience applauded... The following then happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Theater Japan - Backstage~ While the performance on stage was taking place, Kermit was walking around backstage to make sure everything was in order. The Muppet then noticed three celebrities arriving backstage... "Stephen Colbert? The Rock? And... hi there," Kermit said as he approached the three, recognizing Colbert and The Rock, but not Powerline. "Hey Kermit," Colbert greeted Kermit, "Look, somebody said there might be a career opportunity here, something about saving the Muppet Theater." "Yes, yes, of course," Kermit replied as he nodded, figuring the tree could help volunteer with answering phone calls from donors. "Yeah, and my agent just told me to show up," The Rock added. "That's great," Kermit replied. "Hey, are you one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Powerline asked Kermit, not knowing who he was. "Yes, I am," Kermit lied as he led the three to the theater's balcony section where volunteers were answering calls from donors, "Let me show you how you can help." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Parking~ Parking his car outside the Muppets Japan Theater, Tex Richman took a good look at the building, saying to himself, "So those Muppets think they can stop me from owning the theater. Heh, let's see them try to put on a show without any power." Grabbing the axe on the seat right next to him, Richman walked to the back of the building to find the theater's power supply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Megumi Kitaniji's Limo~ As his limousine was taking him back home, Megumi Kitaniji opened his vault box, and inside was the S-type crystal he found in India years ago, breathing a sigh of relief that it wasn't stolen. 'Is it really worth doing what Shan-Yu did?' Kitaniji pondered to himself as he gazed at the S-type crystal for a few seconds, not knowing of its true nature, before locking it up in the box once more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ After dealing with the henchmen that turned into animals (with each one of them seeing stars), Silver said, "Well, that's that." "Chika," Silver's Chikorita concurred as she climbed up his shoulder. "Now, to find Kuzco and Pacha," Silver said as he got up on Salamance's back, "Come on Don! I just hope we find them before Yzma does." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse - Outside Ledge~ "Okay, only two left... it's gotta be one of these!" Pacha told Kuzco as the two had found a safe spot to try out the rest of the vials, with only two remaining. However, little did they know that Yzma went a different route than the one they took when they escaped from the lab, leading her to a window right above them... Looking down, Yzma saw the two sitting at a ledge with only two vials remaining. "Oh no you don't," Yzma said to herself as she jumped from the window towards the ledge, kicking both Kuzco and Pacha in the face, and causing Pacha to drop the two vials. As the vials landed close to Yzma, Kuzco gasped while Yzma grinned, both wanting to get the vials before the other. Then the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage After falling, Pacha was able to grab on to the eye-shaped ledge right beneath where Kuzco and Yzma currently were. As for Yzma, she continued scratching Kuzco's face until he smashed her to the wall behind him, appearing to have knocked the cat out. Grabbing the vial, Kuzco looked down to see if Pacha was alright. "Drink the potion!" Pacha told Kuzco as he held on to the eye-shaped ledge. The following then happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage Quickly jumping after the vial, Yzma realized she made a mistake. "Uh-oh..." the cat said as she fell down...
Really jealous of lucky Europeans who can get that amazing looking Mystery Dungeon-themed cover plate! Complaining aside... Happy 20th Pokémon! So many great things planned out for the year. I'm definitely gonna get all those event Pokémon. Also, I'm happy that remastered versions of the first two movies will finally be available (though I had hoped they'd be available on Blu-Ray as well. Oh well...)
It depends on how it's done. I really enjoyed the 2nd scenarios in worlds like Port Royal, Beast's Castle, and Home of the Dragons. However, I then also find myself preferring the 1st scenario in Halloween Town and Pride Lands. So as long as they make the 2nd scenario good, I don't mind.
~Tokyo's District 12~ "So, are there gonna be bad guys attacking us all the time?" Marco asked Star as the two were walking back to Marco's home. "Yeah, probably," Star Butterfly responded. "All right! Sounds so dangerous!" Marco enthusiastically said before stopping Star as she was about to cross a street, "Whoa! Let's cross at the light." "Okay, 'wild man'," Star replied as they walked towards a nearby traffic light. Spoiler: Credits Sequence, Because Why Not? -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hotel Lounge~ "Hey Elsa, Anna, come look at this," Hans called out to the two sisters as he and Olaf were watching the news on television reporting on the incident at the Tokyo National bank, "They got the guy that kidnapped your friend." "And she's alright!" Olaf added. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo National Bank~ "He's right," Looker concurred with Shintaro as he and the others exited the bank, "The police department's going to be really busy now that we caught all these criminals. Although... Carter, Lee... you two go ahead. This was your case. Now that it's closed, you've earned your break." "Heh, thanks, Chief," Carter replied. "So, looks to me like Shan-Yu's plans were thwarted?" Megumi Kitaniji's familiar voice said as he approached the group... "Yes," Inspector Lee replied, "You don't have to worry about him anymore." A police officer then handed Officer Jenny the box from the vault that belonged to Kitaniji, and its key. "Oh, and I believe these are yours," Jenny told Kitaniji as she handed him the box and key, "Keep them with you until the bank says it's safe to bring them back." "Much obliged, Officer," Kitaniji replied as he walked away towards his limo. "Really would like to know wat was in dat box o' his," Carter said. "Maybe some day, Carter," Matt replied as he patted Carter's back, "Maybe some day." "Well, enjoy your break guys," Jenny told Carter and Lee as she and Looker walked away. "Do you remember where you parked?" Lee asked Carter, "Yeah... right over there," Carter replied as he was followed by the others. ------------------------------------------------------------ ~Yzma's Penthouse - Stairway~ As they rode on Tauros and escaped the secret lab, Pacha and Kuzco have been going through the vials one by one while Tauros went up a stairwell, trying to find the one with the potion to turn Kuzco back to human. "No," Pacha said as a vial Kuzco drank turned him to a tortoise. "No," Pacha repeated as another vial turned Kuzco into a bird. After trying another vial, Kuzco turned back into a llama, cheering, "Yay, I'm a llama again! Wait..." Just then, Tauros smashed through a door, only to reveal that it led to a ledge on the side of Yzma's penthouse. "Woah..." Kuzco said as he gulped. "Whatever you do, don't look down," Pacha replied as he and Kuzco got down from Tauros's back, and took out his Pokeball, pointing it at Tauros, "Tauros, return!" After summoning Tauros back to its Pokeball, Pacha suggested, "I know it looks scary, but it's either this or going back to the lab." Nodding, Kuzco nervously replied, "Okay." The two then slowly walked on the ledge, hoping to try out the remaining vials while being away from Yzma and her henchmen. ------------------------------------------------------------- ~Thor's and Loki's Home~ "Father?" Thor called out to his father, finding him sitting alone in a couch... "I know this is very surprising news for you," Thor continued, "But-" "Thor, it doesn't matter to me whether or not you're a Conduit," Odin interrupted as he got up with the assistance of his cane, "You're my son... and that is all that matters. But you should know that gaining new abilities doesn't give you permission to go back to your arrogant ways." "Don't worry Father," Thor reassured him, "I'm not like that anymore. Loki and Luna both helped me realize my mistake. Trust me." Smiling, Odin patted Thor's shoulder, telling him, "Very well, son. I'll take your word for it." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater~ After the Swedish Chef's act concluded, Kermit walked on stage to introduce the next act, telling the audience, "And now, to see the latest in what science can cook up, let's take a trip over to the Muppet Labs with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker!" The audience then applauded as the curtain opened revealing a set that resembled a lab, and Dr. Honeydew and Beaker themselves... "Good evening! Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, here at Muppet Labs with my assistant, Beaker, where the future is being made today," Dr. Honeydew introduced himself, "Joining us today is the amazingly talented actress and Kalos Pokemon League Champion, Diantha!" The audience then applauded as Diantha entered the stage, and joined Honeydew and Beaker... "Hello Doctor, Beaker," Diantha greeted the two. "Mee mee meep..." Beaker shyly greeted Diantha back, with the audience chuckling a bit. "Now Diantha, ever had the same recurring problem of wearing gloves outdoors, but forgetting to take them off once you come back indoors, and causing your hands to itch so much?" Dr. Honeydew asked. "Well," Diantha replied, "No-" "Of course you did!" Dr. Honeydew interrupted Diantha, with the audience laughing in response, "But not anymore! We at Muppet Labs have finally found a solution to this growing problem, and it is called, the Glooove Magnet!" The following sound effect was then sounded throughout the theater for some reason, and the audience laughed in response, while Diantha, Dr. Honeydew, and Beaker were confused by the sound effect. "Well, anyway, allow me to introduce my other assistants... Clemont, Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak... as they bring in my new invention," Dr. Bunsen Honeydew said as Clemont, Bonnie (with her Dedenne on her shoulder), Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak rolled Honeydew's Glove Magnet machine to the stage while being applauded by the audience... "Hey, it's Clemont!" Manon told Harry and Hiccup. "Leemo!" Harry replied, nodding. "Yeah," Hiccup added as he continued watching. "It's my friends!" Rini told Kenji, Ikuko, Sammy, and Serena, pointing towards Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak. "I see them," Sammy replied. "They seem like nice kids to me," Ikuko commented. "And here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Glove Magnet!" Dr. Honeydew told the audience as he directed their attention to the machine that was brought over, with the same sound effect that was sounded throughout the theater sounding again, causing the audience to laugh once more, "You know, I never really could explain why that always happens when I say those two words..." The audience then laughed again at Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's comment, who continued, "Now then, once I pull the lever on this machine, it'll magnetically attract ever single glove within a 50 foot radius. So if you have any gloves, please remove them now." The members of the audience then made sure none of them were wearing any gloves at the moment. "No gloves?" Jessebelle asked Ms. Frizzle. "No gloves," Ms. Frizzle replied. "Good. Now that we got that out of the way, time to start our demonstration," Honeydew said. "Remember, don't try this at home," Clemont told the audience. "We're what you call... 'experts'," Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak all simultaneously added. "Deden!" Bonnie's Dedenne concurred. "Now then, Beaker, have you brought the gloves?" Honeydew asked his assistant. "Mee mee," Beaker replied holding a pair of gloves. "Now watch as Beaker's gloves are magnetically pulled right into the Glove Magnet!" Dr. Bunsen Honeydew said, with the same sound effect sounding throughout the theater once again (with the audience laughing), "Ahem... right... Clemont, would you please?" "Certainly," Clemont replied as he pulled the lever on the Glove Magnet. However, nothing happened, with Beaker's gloves still with him. "Huh, that's weird," Dr. Bunsen Honeydew commented as he walked over to the machine, "Must be something in the wiring." While Dr. Bunsen Honeydew was looking over the Glove Magnet with Clemont, Beaker shrugged and wore the gloves he was carrying around, muttering to himself, "Mee mee mee mee..." However, upon noticing an electric plug lying on the floor, Sweetie Belle realized why the Glove Magnet wasn't working... it wasn't plugged in. "Umm, guys..." Sweetie Belle called out to Clemont and Honeydew to tell them about the plug. The two, however, didn't hear her, as they were preoccupied with the machine. "Oh," Diantha said as she noticed what Sweetie Belle was pointing at, "I'll get that, dear." Picking up the plug, Diantha plugged it into a nearby outlet, causing the Glove Magnet to activate in an instant. "Whoa!" Clemont cried as he and Honeydew backed away. "Mee mee MEEEP!!!" Beaker cried as the Glove Magnet pulled the gloves he was wearing (and himself) towards the machine, with the audience laughing at what just happened. "Woah! It actually worked!" Pipsqueak said. "Indeed it has," Dr. Honeydew added as Beaker was still crying for help while his hands were stuck to the Glove Magnet, "Another successful invention from Muppet Labs. And more importantly, another worldwide problem taken care of." As the audience chuckled at Honeydew's statement, Bonnie asked, "Uhh, are we just gonna leave Beaker like that?" "Oh, I'll take care of that," Diantha replied as she removed the Glove Magnet's plug. Once Beaker's hands were free from the Glove Magnet, Beaker fainted out of the fear he just experienced. "Uhh... Beaker?" Clemont asked the Muppet as the audience laughed. "Well, that's all for today from Muppet Labs," Dr. Bunsen Honeydew told the audience as the curtain closed, and the audience applauded. "Ugh, that act was the second worst thing I've had to endure in my life!" Statler complained. "What was the number one worst thing?" Waldorf asked Statler. "Having to read Roxam's convoluted and confusing HSD posts," Statler replied as the two elderly Muppets chuckled. "Heh, poor Beaker... always feel sorry for the guy," Darien commented. "I agree, stranger," Kenji responded to Darien as he turned around to face him, "Oh, you alone?" "Yeah. Didn't have anything else to do, so I thought I'd check out this telethon," Darien answered, "I did watch the Muppets as a kid." "Well I hope you're enjoying yourself, ummm..." Kenji said before realizing he didn't know his name. "Darien," Darien replied as he extended his hand for a handshake, "Darien Chiba. And yes... so far so good." "A pleasure, Darien. And I'm Kenji Tsukino," Kenji replied as he shook Darien's hand, "If we're bothering you, just let us know." "Oh don't worry. You guys are no bother at all," Darien said, "I even had a nice chat with your kids while you guys were out." "It's true," Sammy concurred, with Rini nodding. "Oh, then it looks like we were getting along already," Kenji said, "Enjoy the rest of the show." "Will do," Darien replied. "Hmm, this Darien person seems like a nice young man, wouldn't you agree, Serena?" Ikuko whispered to her daughter.
Kingdom Hearts series composer, Yoko Shimomura, recently sat down for an interview with RPG Site, where she discussed her music, and the process of creating her memorable tunes. There isn't really anything new, and it's mostly about her music in general, yet it's still an interesting read for fans of her music. But of course, she did have a few words regarding Kingdom Hearts: Credit to @CyborgHD13 for the find.
~Tokyo's District 12 - Outside Convenience Store~ After the battle with Ludo and his minions, the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage As he took out the Game Boy from his pocket, Ludo angrily berated his minions, yelling, "You see, you morons?! This is what happens when you don't work out!" As he used the Game Boy to open up a portal right in front of him in order to go back to the dimension of Mewni, Ludo continued, "Your muscles are like pudding! Come on, back in the portal, back in the portal." Ludo's minions, groaning and covered in bruises, then began to shuffle through the portal one by one. "You even retreat like losers!" Ludo continued berating his minions. "I'm freaking out!" the minion who was attacked by Star's "Jellybean Hallucination Mist" attack said as he entered the portal, still hallucinating. Once all of Ludo's minions left through the portal, Ludo entered it last, but turned around to give Star Butterfly some parting words, which resulted in the following: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Shibuya District~ "Sure, take your time," Finnick replied to IF as his father's Raichu climbed up his shoulder, "Raichu and I'll be waiting near that tree. Let me know when you're done." "Raichu," Raichu happily concurred as Finnick walked over to a nearby tree, and leaned against it. "Hey, Raichu... how do you think Dad'll react when he sees IF?" Finnick asked the Pokemon. "Raichu..." Raichu replied as he shrugged, not exactly sure how Lt. Surge would react. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Sora's and Roxas's Home~ "Shoot... looks like Kairi lost to 'AoiKazue'," Roxas said as the match ended. "Well, 'AoiKazue' was tough... at least Kairi gave it her best," Sora commented. Just then, the twins heard the discussion between Kairi and 'AoiKazue', learning that they apparently knew each other... and that the real name of 'AoiKazue' was Kai. "Okay... that was weird..." Roxas said as he and Sora were confused. The two then heard Kairi's voice telling them, "Hey, I got to go now, I will see you guys later." "Umm, okay. See you later, Kairi," Sora said as he disconnected the game. "So, now what?" Roxas asked. Grabbing the remote control, Sora began flipping through the channels to see if there was anything on television, "Maybe there's something good on TV. Hmm... let's see... the news... 'Shark Tank'... 'The Apprentice'..." "Oh God, no!" Roxas quickly replied upon Sora suggesting watching 'The Apprentice', "Anything that doesn't involve that big jerk Donald Trump. I can't even stand that guy." "Agreed," Sora concurred as he continued flipping through the channels once more, "... Spanish soap opera... 'Finding Nemo'... WWE Smackdown... oh, what's this... the Muppet Telethon... whaddya think, Roxas?" "Hmm, maybe it's good," Roxas replied as he shrugged, with the two brothers deciding to watch the Muppet Telethon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ Taking the brunt of the triple attack from Salamance, Tauros, and Arcanine, Yzma's Ursaring finally fainted, much to the dismay of Yzma. "Woohoo! You guys did it!" Kuzco cheered. "You did good, Tauros," Pacha told his Tauros as he patted its head. "Nice work, Salamance," Silver complimented his Salamance, "Well Yzma, looks like you lost." Grinning as she summoned Ursaring back to its Pokeball, Yzma replied, "Heh, I wouldn't say I lost just yet." Holding out the vial that contained the potion to turn Kuzco back to human, Yzma said, "You want this, Kuzco? Then try looking for it!" Yzma then kicked a nearby table that contained a dozen vials that looked exactly the same as the one she had, causing them fall to the floor. Yzma then dropped the vial Kuzco wanted right in the middle of them, saying, "Oops, clumsy me!" "No!" Kuzco cried as he and Pacha rushed to the vials, not sure which one was the one that would turn him human. "Which one? Which one?" Yzma mocked Kuzco as she pulled a lever on the wall, "You better hurry. I'm expecting company." A few seconds later, the walls of the lab opened up, with henchmen working for Yzma appearing, each carrying a dangerous weapon such as a mace or axe. "Kill them!" Yzma ordered her henchmen. "Uh oh," Silver said to himself as the henchmen were racing towards them. Quickly grabbing all the vials on the floor, Pacha backed away a bit with Kuzco before noticing another table that also had a bunch of vials. Deciding to use it against the henchmen that were racing towards him, Pacha flipped the table, with the vials hitting the henchmen, and the potions in them turning them all into different animals. "Get them!" Yzma ordered her henchmen once more, not caring that they turned into animals. "Hey, I've been turned into a cow," the henchman who turned into a cow told Yzma, "Can I go home?" "You're excused," Yzma replied, allowing him to leave, "Anyone else?" "No no, we're good," the other henchman replied, indicating they had no issues with their new forms. "Good," Yzma said, "NOW GET THEM!" the henchman then proceeded to attack Kuzco with the others. Silver, however, decided to fight back, punching the gorilla, while Salamance bit on the octopus's axe, and Chikorita attacked the ostrich with her Vine Whip attack, crying, "Chika!" "You guys go ahead, and find the right potion!" Silver told Kuzco and Pacha as he grappled with the gorilla, "Don and I'll take care of these guys." "Got it!" Pacha replied as he got up on Tauros's back while hanging on to all the vials he grabbed from the floor, "Come on, Kuzco!" Nodding, Kuzco joined Pacha on the back of Tauros, telling the Pokemon, "Get us out of here, Tauros!" Nodding, Tauros raced towards an exit as Yzma watched. "Oh no, you don't!" Yzma said as she followed them. Meanwhile, as Silver continued his fistfight with the gorilla, he told Don, "Heh, I think I'm getting too old for this." ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Thor's and Loki's Home: Garage~ "Alright Thor, what's the meaning of this?" Odin asked as he, Frigga, and Loki followed Thor to the garage after he said he wanted to show them something. "This," Thor replied as he held out his hand, and his hammer came flying right towards him, easily catching it, and surprising his parents. "H-how did you...?" a surprised Frigga asked, not believing what she just saw. "There's more," Thor said as he walked outside the garage. As Odin, Frigga, and Loki followed him outside, Thor looked up at the sky, and began levitating higher and higher. Frigga gasped while Odin cried, "My goodness!" Thor then pointed his hammer to the sky, with storm-like clouds appearing high above him. Lightning strikes from the clouds then starting hitting Thor's hammer, yet he wasn't affected in any way. As Thor then lowered his hammer (causing the storm clouds to disappear), he threw it towards his home, causing his parents to gasp once more, only for the hammer to stop midair, then fly back to Thor's hand. As Thor descended back to the ground. "T-Thor... y-you're a... Conduit?" Frigga asked her son. "Indeed," Loki answered on behalf of his brother, "He's had these powers since Tuesday." "You knew?" Odin asked Loki. "Yes," Loki replied, "Thor wasn't sure how to break the news to you." "How did this happen?" Odin questioned. "I'm not sure," Thor answered his father, "It just... happened." Without saying a word, Odin walked back inside his home with the help of his cane, while Frigga said, "Thor... this is really big news for your father and I. Big and surprising. However... it doesn't matter. In the end, you're still our son. And we will always love you." Smiling, Thor shared a hug with his mother, while Loki said, "I'll go check on on Father." "Let me, Loki," Thor told his brother, "I should talk to him myself." Nodding, Loki watched as Thor went back inside. --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank~ Once the police saw Murdock take out Shan-Yu, Looker, Officer Jenny, and a bunch of other police officers stormed the building. "Alright! I want every single one of Shan-Yu's hooligans arrested," Looker ordered his officers as he noticed the unconscious Shan-Yu lying on the ground... "Oh, how the mighty have fallen," Looker commented as he looked down on Shan-Yu, "Take him away!" Just then, Looker heard a gasp from Officer Jenny. "Jenny, what is i-," Looker asked before noticing what Jenny just saw, "Oh dear..." Spoiler: BGM Looker and Jenny noticed Matt, Foggy, Aerith, Kiriko, and Carter next to Lee's body on the floor, who appeared to have been killed by a knife piercing his chest. 'Lee...no...' Jenny thought to herself as she covered her mouth with her hands, and began sobbing. As for Carter, he was kneeling right next to Lee's body, with a bunch of emotions running through his head as he tried fighting back tears. "What happened?" Looker asked. "Shan-Yu threw a knife right at me... b-but Lee... h-he got in the way," Carter replied, "He saved my life." "I see..." Looker sorrowfully said as he closed his eyes, "I'll contact our friends in China to let them know." "Carter... I'm so sorry..." Officer Jenny told Carter. "Ya know... I only knew him since Tuesday... b-but he was the best friend I ever had," Carter replied as tears trickled down his face. While Foggy remained silent out of respect, he suddenly noticed something fall from Lee's pocket. "Osha?" Foggy wondered aloud as he approached the item that fell from Lee's pocket, grabbing it. "Foggy, what is it?" Matt asked Foggy. "Oshawott!" Foggy replied, holding out what appeared to be a stone. "It's... it's the Philosopher's Stone!" Jenny said, "The one Harold gave Lee." Foggy then noticed the Philosopher's Stone producing a liquid of some kind, surprising him as he cried, "Osha!" "It's producing a liquid of some kind, isn't it?" Matt asked. "That's right," Looker replied. "Pour the liquid into Lee's mouth," Murdock ordered. "What?" a surprised Carter asked, "Bu-" "Just do it. Trust me," Matt interrupted Carter. After a few moments of silence, Carter nodded, and was handed the Philosopher's Stone by Foggy. Opening Lee's mouth, Carter placed the stone above, with the liquid it was producing dripping down Lee's mouth. Making sure the liquid went down Lee's throat, Carter began to notice something happen to the spot where Lee was pierced by Shan-Yu's knife. The wound on Lee's chest began to slowly heal itself, until there was nothing to indicate a knife went through. "It healed!" Jenny cried. And suddenly, Lee woke up, breathing heavily as though he had a nightmare. "What happened?" Lee asked. "Lee! You're alive!" Carter happily cried as he hugged Lee before slapping him on the face, "What were ya thinking?! Jumpin' right in front of that knife like you some kind of crazy person!" "But did we get Shan-Yu?" Lee asked. Smiling, Carter nodded, replying, "Yeah. We got him... partner." Foggy and Matt smiled at the fact that Lee was brought back to life while Looker breathed a sigh of relief. 'Harold... thank you...' Jenny thought to herself as she happily cried. -------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater~ Once the theater was mostly full, the Muppet Telethon was finally going to start, with the announcer announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host, Kermit the Frog!" "About time," Sammy said to himself. Kermit then appeared on the 'O' in the Muppet Telethon sign, ready to kickstart the show... "It's the Muppet Telethon with our very special guest, Miss Diantha!" Kermit said as he started cheering while the following intro happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Muppet Telethon!" Kermit greeted the audience while on stage, "Now as some of you heard, the Muppets are trying to raise one billion yen in order to save this theater from being sold. So for those of you who decide to chip in, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. So let's hear it for the volunteers standing by to take your calls." The spotlight then directed its light towards a balcony section on the theater's left-side, very close to the stage, where the volunteers Kermit mentioned (which included Gordon Ramsay and Sam the Eagle) were seated with a phone in front of them... As the audience applauded for the volunteers, one of the volunteers (a Muppet dog) was using the phone instead to order pizza, telling the person she was talking to on the phone, "Can I have a large pizza with ham and onions...." "Well if you can bleeping donate 300 bleeping yen, I don't see why you can't bleeping donate a little more than that!" Chef Ramsay berated one of the callers. "Huh, you sure say the word 'bleeping' a lot, Chef Ramsay," Kermit told Ramsay. "Because this is a bleeping family show," Ramsay replied to Kermit, "There's families bleeping watching." As the audience laughed at what Chef Ramsay said, Kermit turned his attention back to the audience, saying, "Well anyway... boy, do we have a wonderful show for you with our very special guest, Miss Diantha!" Diantha then appeared on stage, waving her hand as the audience applauded for her... "Eeek! It's Diantha!!" Manon happily cried. "Lemmoleemo!" Harry concurred, feeling just as excited as Manon. "Look girls, it's Diantha!" Sycamore told his Fennekin and Espurr. "Fokkafokka!" Sycamore's Fennekin happily cheered upon noticing Diantha. "Nyapah!" Sycamore's Espurr cheered as well. "Thank you, everyone. It's so lovely to be here," Diantha said. "It's a pleasure to have you join us, Diantha," Kermit told the actress. "Excuuuse me," a voice said from backstage. "Oh good grief..." Kermit said to himself as he covered his face, knowing exactly whose voice that was... "Sorry missy, but there's only room for one diva in this show," Miss Piggy told Diantha as she appeared on stage, "And that diva... is moi." "Oh, Miss Piggy, forgive me if you felt like I was stealing your spotlight," Diantha replied to Miss Piggy, "I would never do such a thing. After all, you were my biggest inspiration growing up." "Well of course I wa-.... Wait... I... was?" Piggy asked, surprised by Diantha's response. "Yes," Diantha answered, "My successful acting career, my success in becoming the Pokemon League Champion in Kalos... I attribute them all to you. You're my hero." As Diantha hugged Miss Piggy, the audience went 'Awww...", with Piggy not expecting this response from Diantha at all. As for Kermit, he was immensely relieved that Piggy didn't actually ruin things with Diantha. "Well, uhh... of course I was," Piggy said, "I mean, what actress doesn't look to moi for inspiration? But just remember, no one, and I mean no one, can ever be as good as the perfection that is me." "Of course," Diantha happily replied as Piggy returned backstage. "I like her," Piggy whispered to Kermit as she entered backstage through the curtains. "Well, anyway... Diantha, would you like to introduce our first act?" Kermit asked Diantha. "Of course, Kermit," Diantha replied as she faced the audience, "Please give a warm welcome to the Muppet culinary expert himself, the Swedish Chef!" "Swedish Chef! Great way to start the show, huh, honey?" Kenji told his wife as he and the rest of the audience applauded. "Agreed," Ikuko replied as Diantha and Kermit headed backstage, while the curtains opened, revealing a set resembling a kitchen, and the Swedish Chef himself... The Swedish Chef then performed the following act: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage "Heh, got one!" Jack told Logan and Yukio as he caught one of the bouncing meatballs.

The show's about to start," Bonnie told Pipsqueak and Sweetie Belle, "Are you ready?" Spoiler: BGM Sighing, Pipsqueak replied, "I don't know, Bonnie. I mean, I know we've rehearsed a lot, but we've made a lot of mistakes while practicing." "Yeah," Sweetie Belle concurred, "What if we mess up on stage?" "Are you kidding me? We could do better than that!" Bonnie replied as she started to sing... [Bonnie] We've been gettin' ready for this day For a while now Tryin' to find out how we fit in So many ways we've tried before But we keep on tryin' more *As Pipsqueak and Sweetie Belle felt reassured by Bonnie's optimism, they then joined in the singing* [Bonnie, Pipsqueak, and Sweetie Belle] 'Cause the three of us don't call quits or give in We'll make our mark One way or another We'll make our mark On the day that we discover The ultimate reward of helping others!

Pipsqueak added. ------------------------------------------------------------ ~Carl Creel's Trailer~ After being dropped off at his trailer in the middle of nowhere by Centipede, Creel entered the place he called home. Just as he entered, the phone in the trailer began ringing, which he answered and put on speaker. "Yeah?" Carl answered as he opened a drawer filled with a bunch of different materials for him to practice changing his skin, grabbing a piece of wood. "I am told that the attempt to procure the Obelisk failed," a distorted voice replied on the phone. "Yeah. J.I.A. beat us to it," Creel replied as he changed his skin to wood, "By the way, thanks for bailing me out." "Well this certainly complicates things," the mysterious caller replied, "No matter. It's all just a delay. The Obelisk will be ours... sooner or later. Hail the Crystal Order." Taking out his right glove, Creel focused on the Crystal Order emblem on the palm of his right hand. "Hail the Crystal Order," Creel repeated as the caller hung up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Backstage (Diantha's Dressing Room)~ "Uh, 15 seconds to curtain, Miss Diantha," Scooter told Diantha as he entered her dressing room. "Thank you," Diantha replied as she continued brushing her hair, "Thank you. I'll be ready. I'll be ready just as long nobody else drops in." Just then, a bunch of Muppets dropped from the roof, and were staring at Diantha as they got up, with the actress wryly smiling in response. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Harbor - Seafood Restaurant~ "... and then I said, 'You do realize the movie you did a report on, called "The Invisible Man" has absolutely nothing with the book, "Invisible Man,"'" Smith said as he reminisced on his college days with Rose, with the two laughing at the story he just told as they ate. "Heh, goodness... college freshmen certainly do the most ridiculous things just to get a passing grade," Rose commented. "Yeah," John Smith replied as he took a sip of his ice tea, "Ah... those were the days." "So I take it your years in college were quite memorable, huh?" Rose asked. "They certainly were," Smith replied. "Can I ask you something, John?" Rose asked. "Of course," Smith replied. "Is it true... you have two hearts inside of you right now?" Rose asked, "I might've heard Mr. Wayne mention something like that..." Smith froze upon Rose mentioning his two hearts, remembering the incident that led to him getting a second heart seven years ago. "W-What else have you heard about me?" Smith questioned. "Just that around seven years ago... you went went on a trip with Axel, Eraqus, and Moody to Lebanon," Rose replied, "And while there... there was this mine field th-" "That's not true," John interrupted Rose, wanting to tell her the truth about how he got a second heart, "Whatever you heard... about a trip going to Lebanon... it's a lie. All of it. Al Mualim uses it just to keep what really happened hidden from others." Spoiler: BGM Sighing, John continued, "It was Spring of 2006... Al Mualim sent me, Axel, Moody, and Eraqus to accompany a man named Achilles to Osaka." "What were you doing in Osaka?" Rose asked. "We were to meet with a woman named Ziio," John replied, "She had with her a very important object. Unfortunately, after meeting her, the Crystal Order surprised us with an attack, for they were after the object as well. We were able to fight back... but not without heavy costs. Moody lost his left eye. Eraqus's face was scarred. Achilles could no longer walk without the use of a cane to help him. And I... well... I was shot in the chest. Only way I would live was by getting a heart transplant... hence my two hearts. Axel was the only one who got away without much damage. Physically, at least." "What about Ziio?" Rose asked. "She was killed," John remorsefully answered, "We couldn't save her." "John..." Rose said as she placed her right hand on Smith's left hand, "You did what you could." "You don't understand," Smith replied, "She had a son. He was just a boy when she died. And now he's a student in my 4th period class. Every single time I see him, I'm reminded of her, and I keep thinking like I failed him." "What's the boy's name?" Rose asked. "Connor," Smith replied. "And does Connor say anything that indicates that he feels angry at you?" Rose asked. "Oh no, not at all," John replied, "On the contrary, we always have friendly discussions." "See? You didn't fail him," Rose replied, "Don't blame yourself for Ziio's death, John. She'd want you to be there for her son. And if you ask me, you're doing a fine job at it." John Smith didn't say a word... simply smiling in response as he and Rose continued with their dinner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "Hey kids, we're back!" Ikuko said as she and her husband returned to their seats. "So what'd we miss?" Kenji asked. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all..." Sammy lied as he sweatdropped. 'Heh, the kid's not half bad', Darien thought to himself, 'Blondie could sure learn a thing or two from her brother.' "Why hello there, Rini," a familiar voice called out to Rini. Turning around, Rini noticed the voice coming from her school counselor, Jessebelle, who was being accompanied by Ms. Frizzle... "Ms. Jessebelle! Ms. Frizzle!" Rini replied, "You guys came too?" "Of course we did," Ms. Frizzle told Rini, "I just hope we're not too late." "Nope," Sammy said, "But it's gonna start any second now." "So you're Ms. Frizzle?" Ikuko asked Rini's teacher. "That's right," Ms. Frizzle replied, "And you must be the Tsukinos." "We sure are," Kenji said, "I hope Rini's been a good student on her first day." "She was," Frizzle replied. "I concur," Jessebelle added, "I see good things in Rini's future with Nintendo Elementary. You two should be proud to have someone like Rini in your family." "We definitely are," Ikuko replied, "Thank you for your compliments." "You're welcome," Jessebelle replied as she and Ms. Frizzle went to look for a seat, "Well, see you soon." "Bye, Rini!" Ms. Frizzle told Rini as she waved goodbye. "Bye!" Rini said as she waved goodbye as well to Jessebelle and Ms. Frizzle. 'So Rini started school and things already seem good for her. I'm happy for her,' Darien thought to himself as he watched the conversation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank~ As Carter was looking for the vault where he expected to find Foggy, Kiriko, and Aerith, he found the three trying to find a way out of the bank... "Aerith!" Carter happily cried as he rushed towards them, hugging Aerith, "You're okay!" "Oshawott..." Foggy said to himself as he watched, sweatdropping. Just then, the battle between Shan-Yu, Murdock, and Inspector Lee moved to an area close to where Carter was... As Shan-Yu continued swinging his sword at Murdock and Lee while they kept blocking his attacks, Shan-Yu noticed Carter with Aerith. "YOU!" Shan-Yu yelled as he pushed Matt and Lee out of the way. Taking out a pocket knife, Shan-Yu threw towards Carter's direction. Gasping, Lee quickly got up, crying, "CARTER!" Rushing towards Carter, Lee jumped in front of Carter, and took the hit from the knife as it pierced his chest. "LEE!!" Carter cried as he watched his friend fall to the floor right in front of him after saving his life. Hearing the cries of pain from Lee, Murdock was able to figure out what had just happened, and figured that the battle must end now. Taking one of his batons, Matt took advantage of Shan-Yu being distracted with Carter and Lee, and threw his baton towards the hand of Shan-Yu that was carrying his sword. "Ah!" Shan-Yu cried as he dropped his sword after his hand was hit by Matt's baton. Matt then rushed towards Shan-Yu, performing a double-kick at him, and then knocking him out with a powerful punch to the face, causing Shan-Yu's nose to bleed. As Shan-Yu fell to the floor unconscious, Matt rushed over to Carter and the others, where Lee was lying on the floor, dying...

Logan called out to his neighbor as he and Yukio arrived to the theater. "Logan, Yukio... so nice of you to drop by," Sparrow replied as he approached them. "Anything for Pipsqueak," Logan replied, "Where is he anyway?" "Rehearsing backstage," Jack answered, "Anyway, let's have a seat then, shall we?" "Thank you, Sparrow-san," Yukio thanked Jack as she and Logan followed Sparrow to their seats. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Muppet Theater~ "We're here!" Hiccup said as Toothless landed outside the Muppets Japan Theater. "Awesome!" Manon cheered as she and Harry quickly got out of Toothless's back, "Come on Hiccup! We don't wanna be late!" "Leemoleemo!" Harry concurred as he jumped up and down. "Coming!" Hiccup replied as he shifted his focus to Toothless while getting off of him, "Alright, bud. Behave yourself out here. See ya when the show ends." Toothless nodded in reply as Hiccup joined Manon and Harry as they made their way to the theater's entrance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Shibuya District~ Once IF hugged Finnick, his eyes almost teared up as he hugged her back, whispering to her, "You have no idea how happy I am to know that I have a sister." As for Raichu, the Pokemon simply sat and watched happily as the two hugged. "Hey, IF..." Finnick said as the two stopped hugging, "Why don't you come with me to Vermilion City? Just for a bit. I'm sure Dad'll be happy to see you. And the folks at the Vermilion Pokemon Gym are good folks as well. Whaddya say?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ Katniss and Haymitch waved goodbye silently as they watched Lily teleport away from the Command Center. "How do you do that?" Katniss asked, wondering how she can teleport herself and Haymitch like she watched Hiccup and Lily do. "I can show you, Katniss," Alpha replied as he walked over to her. After a few minutes of being told the basics by Alpha, Katniss felt comfortable in teleporting on her own. "Thanks Alpha. I think I got it," Katniss thanked Alpha before turning around to face Zordon, "Well, I have to go back home to District 12, Zordon. But thanks for everything." "Pikachu!" Haymitch concurred as he finished his Pokemon treat. "Take care, Katniss Everdeen," Zordon replied, "And remember, you are more than welcome to come here anytime." Smiling, Katniss picked up Haymitch, and teleported away from the Command Center. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Cathedral~ Spoiler: BGM Emma happily ran around the cathedral with Mimi on her shoulder, with the two gazing at the enormity of their new home. "This is so much better than our old place, huh, Mimi?" Emma asked her Pokemon. "Nyapah!" Mimi happily agreed. Yang, meanwhile, happily watched them while he changed candles that needed to be replaced. "A street rat?!" Frollo scoffed as he noticed Emma and Mimi... "That's Emma and her Espurr, Mimi," Yang told Frollo, "Those poor souls have lost their home recently, and were in need of a place to stay." "Hmm... well keep an eye out for her, Yang," Frollo replied, "Street rats like her seem more interested in stealing than being faithful. Should anything in this church be missing, then God help her for what she will have to face. Oh, and make sure she behaves herself as well." "Yes, Frollo," the monk replied, sighing as the archdeacon walked away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo National Bank~ "Oshawott!" Foggy replied to Kiriko, nodding as she prepared to deliver a kick. Once Kiriko delivered a powered kick to the door, Foggy followed with a Hyro Pump attack, blasting the vault door with a huge volume of water. The door was finally opened, revealing the captive Aerith alone inside the vault. "Oshawott!" Foggy cried as he ran over to Aerith, biting on the rope tying her hands legs to break them. Once Foggy was able to break the ropes and free Aerith's hands and feet, he noticed her mouth was still covered by duct tape. "Osha, OshaOsha, Oshawott!" Foggy told Kiriko as he pointed to Aerith's mouth, indicating that Aerith needed the duct tap on her mouth removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo National Bank (Again)~ "Finally..." Shan-Yu said as he gazed at the vault key he has been after for days, now in the palms of his hand, "I figured that Kitaniji would eventually be forced into giving it up once and for all. And to the two of you... Officer James Carter... Inspector Lee... this chapter of my life with you clowns can finally end, especially for you, Lee. Let me ask... how did it feel, when I slaughtered your partner right in front of you years ago? Hmm?" Lee (who, like Carter, was currently detained by one of Shan-Yu's henchman) remained silent as Shan-Yu boasted about killing his old partner, not wanting his feelings to get the better of him. "You a sick man, ya know dat, Shan-Yu?" Carter told Shan-Yu, "But I ain't surprised. You wit' the Crystal Order. Your whole group is crazy!" "Oh, Carter, Carter... you should be careful with your words there," Shan-Yu replied, grinning, "You never know if I change my mind when it comes to the girl." James Carter was fuming upon hearing Shan-Yu's threat, but made sure not to show it, as Murdock's plan counted on it. "But enough talk, gentlemen," Shan-Yu continued, "If you'll excuse me, I have a box that needs to be opened. Once that's over, I give you the girl, and I leave the area with my men... without being followed." But just as Shan-Yu turned around, Matt Murdock jumped from the second floor, and landed right in front of him... "You're not going anywhere, Shan-Yu," Matt told Shan-Yu, "The hostages in this building are all safe. Your men, on the other hand, are seeing stars right now." "WHAT?!" Shan-Yu angrily yelled, with Carter and Lee both breaking free from the henchmen detaining them, quickly knocking them out with their elbows. "Nice work, Lee," Carter congratulated Lee. "Thanks," Lee replied. "And with the two that Carter and Lee just took out... you're the only one left, Shan-Yu," Matt told Shan-Yu. "And dat means I'll be checkin' on Aerith," Carter said as he ran towards the vault. "Grrrrrrr.... I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!!" Shan-Yu shouted as he took out his sword and rushed towards Carter, only to be stopped by Murdock, who was now carrying his trusty batons... Spoiler: BGM View attachment 43892 Shan-Yu ~Leader of the Huns~ "It ends now," Murdock said as Carter was out of sight. "Right now!" Lee added as he grabbed nearby mop to use as a weapon. "Fools..." Shan-Yu said as rushed towards Matt and Lee, swinging his sword at them, while Matt used his batons and Lee used his mop to block the attacks from Shan-Yu. As Lee and Murdock continued trading blows with Shan-Yu, the two attempted to land kicks towards Shan-Yu, with Matt being successful in delivering a kick to Shan-Yu's chest. As he backed away, Shan-Yu noticed Lee about to kick him. Quickly grabbing Lee's foot, Shan-Yu pushed Lee away, and swung his sword towards, only to be blocked by Matt and his batons. Matt and Shan-Yu then proceeded in trading blows with their weapons, while Lee got up, and with his mop, got back into the fight, helping out Matt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "Hmph, you should talk," Darien retorted to Serena's statement about him being too old for the Muppet show, feeling the same familiarity he felt around her at Gaston's party, yet still not being able to understand it. "Heh, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you two were a married couple," Sammy told Serena and Darien. "ARE NOT!" Darien quickly replied as he sweatdropped. "Ahem, excuse me..." the usher, Sam the Eagle, said as he approached the group... "Now then, as much as I like to have pointless family arguments every now and then, I must ask you to lower your voices, or else I will have to escort you outside the theater," Sam warned Darien, Serena, and Sammy. "But we're not fa-... oh whatever," Darien said as he crossed his arms while Sam walked away. 'This was a bit weird...' Rini thought to herself as she sweatdropped after witnessing the whole thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ Spoiler: BGM "Alright Tauros, finish Hydreigon off with a Take Down attack!" Pacha ordered his Tauros. "And you finish Goodra with a Zen Headbutt, Salamance!" Silver ordered his Salamance. Tauros did as he was ordered, charging towards Hydreigon and slamming it, finally causing it to faint, with Yzma angrily summoning it back to its Pokeball. Meanwhile, Salamance did as it was instructed as well, focusing its willpower to its head, and attacking Gooda with a mighty headbutt, causing it to faint. "Losers!" Yzma angrily yelled as she summoned Goodra back to its Pokeball. As for Ursaring, while hurt from Arcanine's Flamethrower attack, still had some fight in it, and rushed towards Arcanine in order to deliver a mighty blow. "You better not mess this up, Ursaring!" Yzma ordered Ursaring. "Hey, Don. Let's have Salamance, Arcanine, and Tauros all simultaneously attack Ursaring to finish it for good!" Pacha suggested to Don. "I like the way you think, Pacha!" Silver said, "You heard him, Salamance. Let's go for a triple attack on Ursaring. Use your Dragon Claw attack!" "And you use your Zen Headbutt, Tauros!" Pacha added as Tauros and Salamance joined Arcanine, ready to deliver a mighty attack on Ursaring. "Your call, Don!" Silver told Don.

Believe it or not, some people actually celebrate Christmas a week after New Year's Day.
~Tokyo Cathedral~ Spoiler: BGM "Hello?" Emma called out as she entered the cathedral with Mimi, "Anyone here?" "What is it, dear sister?" Yang Fang Leiden asked as he approached her... "Well, umm... We lost the only place we could call home," Emma replied, "And we were hoping this church could help us out." "Nyapah," Mimi concurred. "Oh, I am terribly sorry to hear about your home," Yang told Emma, "Feel free to stay here. Tokyo Cathedral is open to all who seek help." "Thank you," Emma replied, "I'm Emma by the way. And this here's Mimi." "Panyapanya," Mimi greeted Yang. "It is a pleasure to meet the two of you," Yang replied, "Allow me to show you around." Nodding, Emma and Mimi followed Yang as he showed them around the cathedral. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "Pika!" Haymitch happily said as he ate the Pokemon treat Lily offered him. "I hope so too," Katniss replied to Lily, "And to think... I was acting a bit selfish when I first became a Rider... vowing only to protect Tokyo's District 12." "You weren't selfish, Katniss," Zordon told Katniss, "You were merely wanting to protect your neighborhood after Thrax's attack." "Maybe so, Zordon," Katniss replied, "I'm just glad this fight against the Rider from the Crystal Order made me realize that it wasn't just District 12 that needed protection." --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Celestia's Home~ Walking into her room, Celestia sighed as she took a seat at a nearby seat, exhausted from a very busy day. Deciding to play some music, the pony walked over to her old boombox, with a cassette nearby labelled 'Awesome Mix Vol. 2'. Placing the cassette into the boombox, Celestia pressed the play button, with the following song playing: Spoiler: Boombox Song As the song played, Celestia walked over to her bookshelf, grabbing one of her old yearbooks from Nintendo High School. Opening it, Celestia began to reminisce of her days in high school with Discord, looking through all the yearbook pictures of herself and Discord. But the more she reminisced, the more her eyes became tearful. "Jackson 5, huh?" Celestia's sister Luna said as she entered... "Oh, Luna," Celestia greeted her sister, wiping out the tears from her eyes. "Is something wrong?" Luna asked before noticing the yearbook, "Oh... thinking about Discord again?" "A bit..." Celestia admitted. Smiling, Luna hugged her sister to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, dear sister. I understand." "Thank you, Luna," Celestia replied as she hugged her sister back. The two then looked through the yearbook pictures together. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "This seems like a good place to sit," Kenji said as he and his family found a row to sit in in the theater. "It's perfect," Ikuko commented as she took a seat. "Can't wait for the show to start!" Rini said as she and Sammy took a seat. "I think I'm going to take a quick bathroom break," Kenji said as he got up, "Don't wanna have to go when the show starts." "Good idea dear," Ikuko added as she got up as well, "We'll be back soon, kids." "Sure thing, Auntie Ikuko," Rini replied as Kenji and Ikuko headed towards the restrooms. "Hey there, Rini," a familiar voice behind Rini said. Turning around, Rini found Darien sitting in the row right behind her... "Darien!" Rini happily greeted Darien, "You're here to watch the show as well?" Darien nodded in reply, with Sammy asking, "Rini, you know this guy?" "Yup. I met him on the day I moved in with you guys," Rini answered. "And isn't this a surprise," Darien said as he noticed Serena, remembering her from Gaston's party a week ago, "Hey there, Cabeza De La Albóndiga. Haven't seen you since Gaston's party." "Caba-what?" Sammy asked, confused at what Darien just said. "Cabeza De La Albóndiga," Darien repeated phonetically, "It's Spanish. Roughly translates to 'Meatball Head'." "Oh... OH!" Sammy said as he realized why Darien called her that, laughing, "That's a good one! Guess you have a new foreign nickname, Serena!" Giggling, Rini asked Darien, "You speak Spanish?" "Yeah," Darien replied, "I am originally from Colombia." "Wow," Rini commented, "My dad spoke Spanish as well. Would always call me his 'pequeña princesa'." "'Little princess', correct?" Darien asked, correctly translating the Spanish words Rini mentioned. Rini nodded in reply as she began remembering her father, hoping to see him and her mother again one day. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank~ Shan-Yu silently watched as Lee and Carter approached the bank's entrance... Grinning, Shan-Yu signaled to one of his henchmen to open the door, and allow the two to enter. Once the door was opened, Carter and Lee were instantly detained, with their guns confiscated. "So, we finally meet again," Shan-Yu told Inspector Lee and James Carter. "Where Aerith at?" Carter questioned. "All in good time, Officer Carter," Shan-Yu replied, "Now then, have you brought me the key?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank (again)~ While Shan-Yu was speaking with Carter and Lee, Matt Murdock (in his demon form), Foggy, and Kiriko sneaked into the bank through the building's ventilation system, intending to free the hostages (including Aerith). Quietly exiting a ventilation shaft, Matt, Foggy, and Kiriko were near a cubicle where an employee was in her seat, with her hands on her head, and one of Shan-Yu's henchmen pointing a gun towards her head. Placing his finger on his lips, Matt signaled to Foggy and Kiriko to remain quiet. Foggy silently nodded, watching as Matt slowly approached the henchman. Despite Murdock's blindness, Matt had the ability to use his other senses to create an image in his mind of his surroundings, knowing exactly where the henchman was. And just as he reached him, Murdock snatched the henchman's wrist, breaking it (with the gun falling to the floor) while covering the henchman's mouth so his cries wouldn't be heard. Matt then proceeded to give the henchman a powerful punch, knocking him out. Approaching the frightened employee, Matt quietly asked, "Are you alright?" "Y-yes..." the employee replied as she was shaking from fear. "Do you know anything about a hostage named Aerith?" Matt asked. "I-I don't know. I really don't know," the employee replied, "All I can say is that everyone in this bank is a hostage right now. B-but I think I heard one of them mention something about a girl that was kidnapped outside a courthouse being held inside the bank's vault." "That's definitely her," Matt whispered to Foggy and Kiriko, "You guys see if you can find a way into that vault and free Aerith. I'll take care of the other hostages being held captive." "Oshawott!" Foggy replied as he saluted, ready to accompany Kiriko. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Tokyo National Bank~ "I really hope they know what they're doing," Officer Jenny told Looker and Shintaro as she observed the situation with binoculars. "I hope so too," Looker replied, "But I trust Murdock's judgment. So hopefully things will work out without getting messy." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Highway - J.I.A. Van~ As the recently captured Carl Creel was being transported by a J.I.A. armored van, Creel kept looking out the window, as though he were expecting something. "What's wrong? Need to stop at a McDonald's?" one of the J.I.A. agents mocked Creel as the others laughed. Creel, however, simply grinned silently. A few moments later, the van was hit hard by another vehicle, causing it to tumble across the highway. "What the hell was that?!" one of the J.I.A. agents inside cried as he and other agents who weren't hurt by the crash got out of the car to see what had happened. But just as they got out, they were all instantly shot and killed. Looking out, Creel noticed that the agents were killed by henchmen working for Centipede. One of the henchmen then approached the van, shot every wounded agent inside with a pistol, and cut out the rope tying Creel's hands with a knife. "It's about time you guys showed up," Carl Creel said as he got out of the van, and walked over to the vehicle belonging to the Centipede henchmen, which took off in an instant.
