~Tokyo's Chinatown - Crystal Order Hideout~ "Oh, it's nothing, Tanya," Shay replied, "Just thinking about Quan Chi and Shinnok, hoping they keep their end of the bargain." "We'll see," Starlight Glimmer told Cormac, "Though I'd REALLY hate to explain to Al Mualim if we weren't able to get Lavos." --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Harbor - Seafood Restaurant Parking~ Parking his car at the seafood restaurant's parking, John Smith got out went to the other side to open Rose's door. "Here we are!" Smith told Rose, "Best seafood restaurant in the area... well, in my opinion at least." "Looks lovely," Rose commented upon seeing the restaurant. "Shall we?" John asked, with Rose nodding in reply as the two walked towards the restaurant. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Parking Lot~ "Aaaand... we're here!" Kenji said as he parked his car next to the theater and switched the vehicle's engine off. "Yay!" Rini cheered as she quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car while holding on to Luna-P. "Woah, slow down, Rini," Sammy told Rini as he stepped out of the car as well. "Isn't this exciting, dear?" Ikuko asked her husband as they both got out of the car. "It sure is, honey," Kenji replied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Manon's Home~ Teleporting behind a dumpster, Hiccup and Toothless peeked around to make sure no one saw them arrive. The two then noticed Manon and Harry on the sidewalk, waiting... "There they are," Hiccup whispered to Toothless, "Now act natural... pretend we never had a fight." Nodding, Toothless followed Hiccup as he walked towards Manon. "Hey, Manon!" Hiccup greeted his friend, "Ready to go?" "Yup," Manon replied, "Perfect timing by the way." "Leemo!" Harry concurred. "Thanks," Hiccup replied, feeling relieved that the battle with the Rider from the Crystal Order didn't make him late, "Anyway, we better get a move on." Nodding, Manon and Harry both got up on Toothless's back, with Hiccup following suit. "Alright bud, to the theater," Hiccup told his dragon. Nodding, Toothless extended his wings, and jolted in the air, flying towards the Muppets Japan Theater. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo Cathedral~ Spoiler: BGM "I really enjoyed dinner with your family, Riku," Emma told Riku as she and her Espurr, Mimi, rode with Riku on his motorcycle, "They were really nice." "Nyapah," Mimi concurred as Riku parked his vehicle next to the Tokyo Cathedral. "Don't mention it," Riku replied as he turned to face the cathedral, "Here we are... Tokyo Cathedral. They say it's a place for answers. Maybe it can be your new home." "Hmm, maybe it can..." Emma replied as she and Mimi got off of Riku's motorcycle, gazing at the cathedral. "Hope things work out for you," Riku told Emma, "I'll see you soon." "Take care... Riku," Emma replied as she smiled at him. "Nyapah!" Mimi said, waving goodbye as Riku drove off. Sighing, Emma told her Espurr, "Well, Mimi... it's not like we have any other choice." Mimi silently nodded in reply as she and Emma headed towards the cathedral. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ Spoiler: BGM View attachment 43824 ~Yzma~ The Walking Fossil "Goodra, Ursaring, Hydreigon! Come on out!" Yzma cried as she threw her three Pokeballs up in the air, with her three Pokemon emerging... "Take care of these fools!" Yzma ordered the three Pokemon. "Well we won't go down without a fight!" Silver said, "Get ready Salamance!" Nodding, Salamance positioned itself next to Don's Arcanine. "If it's a fight you want Yzma, count me in as well!" Pacha added as he took out his Pokeball and threw it up in the air, "Tauros, help us out!" Out from Pacha's Pokeball emerged Tauros, joining Salamance and Arcanine... Rushing towards Salamance, Goodra exhaled a Dragon Breath attack towards its opponent, and it was rather effective. Focusing on Arcanine, Ursaring swung its right paw to hit Arcanine with a Slash attack. Meanwhile Hydreigon charged towards Yauros for a Headbutt attack, but Tauros was able to stand its ground, blocking the attack with its own head. The heads of both Tauros and Hydreigon were now connected, with Hydreigon trying hard to overcome Tauros's strong defense. "Don't give up Salamance! Hit it with your Dragon Claw attack!" Silver ordered Salamance. Hearing Silver's order, Salamance flew around Goodra to confuse it a bit before hitting it with a mighty Dragon Claw attack with its right claw, severely hurting Goodra. "Tauros! Use your Hyper Beam attack!" Pacha ordered his Tauros. While the heads of Hydreigon and Tauros were still connected, Tauros delivered a mighty Hyper Beam attack towards its opponent, finally causing Hydreigon to back up (while getting hurt in the process). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Backstage~ "Excuse me, Scooter. But if you don't mind, but I must begin my usher duties," Sam the Eagle told Scooter, "After all, now that people are starting to come in, someone has to make sure everyone gets a seat, while making sure no one tries to do something not usually allowed on a family show." "Uh, sure thing, Sam. Go right ahead," Scooter replied as Sam left. "Well, if it isn't the Swedish Chef," Dr. Teeth said as the Swedish Chef entered from a back door... "Good to see you, my man!" Dr. Teeth greeted the chef. "Hellu," the Swdish Chef replied as he and Dr. Teeth shared a secret handshake. "Ah, Swedish Chef, glad you made it," Scooter said as he approached the chef, "Now we're all rehearsing for our acts, and I noticed you have a solo scheduled... do you have anything in mind?" "Hmm... ouh! I cuould demunstrete-a tu zee-a ouodeence-a huo tu meke-a meetbells. Zeey'll lufe-a it! Börk Börk Börk!" the Swedish Chef replied. "Uhh, sure. You do that," Scooter told the Swedish Chef as he walked away, not having understood what he just said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo National Bank~ "I hope so too..." Looker replied to Kiriko. After a few minutes later, the police chief noticed Carter's car arrive, with Lee, Carter, Jenny, Matt, and Foggy all stepping out of the vehicle... "There you are!" Looker told Carter as he walked towards them, "Let me guess... I suppose this is Shan-Yu's payback for what happened in Chinatown?" "Looks like it," Jenny replied, "Shan- Yu is apparently after a certain box inside the bank's vault." "Not only dat," Carter added, "He kidnapped Aerith." "Aerith? You mean the owner of the flower shop where Harold Flamel was?" a surprised Looker asked. "Unfortunately, yes," Jenny replied, "If Shan-Yu isn't given the key to the box he wants, he threatened to take her life." "And now it's personal," Carter added. "I see..." Looker commented, "So... what's the plan?" "First, we need the key that Shan-Yu wants," Lee replied. "And who has it?" Looker asked. "Megumi Kitaniji," Jenny replied. "Kitaniji?" a surprised Looker questioned, "You mean-" "Yes, THAT Kitaniji," Jenny interrupted. "So... what does the CEO of CAT have that Shan-Yu wants?" Looker pondered out loud. "Talking about me? How flattering..." a voice said from nearby. Turning around, everyone noticed that the voice came from Megumi Kitaniji himself... Spoiler: BGM "I do hope I'm not too late," Kitaniji replied, "It appears the situation is a lot worse than I feared." "Mr. Kitaniji," Officer Jenny greeted him, "I'm Officer Jenny, the one you spoke with." "Ah yes, Officer Jenny... I brought the key, just as you requested," Kitaniji replied, taking out a key from his pocket, showing it to the others. "But I don't understand... why does Shan-Yu want your vault box?" Inspector Lee asked. "Truth be told, he actually contacted me days ago, wanting to pay me a hefty sum for what was inside," Kitaniji replied. "WHAT?!" a shocked James Carter cried. "A hefty sum? Guess that must explain all the burnt cash from the Chinatown incident..." Jenny commented, "But what's actually inside the box, Mr. Kitaniji?" "If I'm not mistaken, I believe I have the legal right to keep that information to myself," Kitaniji replied. Fuming, Carter grabbed Kitaniji by the collar, yelling, "YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE?! DO YA?! A MEMBER OF THE CRYSTAL ORDER JUST KIDNAPPED SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT, AND IS THREATENING TO KILL HER!! AND ALL YA CARE ABOUT IS MONEY!!" "Carter, that's enough!" Looker ordered as he, Lee, and Jenny restrained Carter. Straightening his collar, Kitaniji said, "For the record, I actually did not know Shan-Yu was part of the Crystal Order. Had I known, I would've never associated with him. But if you're curious... my vault box contains a rather unique mineral I found during an expedition in India years ago." "And we supposed to believe you now, why?" Carter questioned, still angry with Kitaniji over having contacted Shan-Yu without telling the authorities. "Believe what you will, Officer," Kitaniji replied as he handed Inspector Lee his vault key, "But let it be known that I am supporting you in this fight against Shan-Yu." Walking towards Carter, Kitaniji asked, "This girl that he kidnapped... you love her, don't you?" Carter didn't say a word in reply, simply staring at the CEO of CAT, who could tell how Carter felt simply by looking at his eyes. "Heh, I see," Kitaniji said as he started walking away, "Do it right. I'm pulling for you guys." "So... now what?" Officer Jenny replied as Lee and Carter observed the key given to them by Kitaniji. "Might I offer a suggestion," Matt Murdock finally spoke. "I'm all ears," Looker replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "So... umm... Zordon... who are you exactly?" Katniss asked, "You from Earth? Or a different planet?" "Long story," Alpha told Katniss right before Lily appeared. "Oh, hey there," Katniss greeted Lily, "You a Rider too?" "She certainly is, Katniss," Zordon answered Katniss. "Oh, well it's nice to meet you," Katniss told Lily, shaking her hand, "I'm Katniss Everdeen. And this little guy here is my Pikachu, Haymitch." "Pikachu," Haymitch happily greeted Lily. "By the way... Potter... you wouldn't happen to be related to a Harry Potter, would you?" Katniss asked.

At first, I felt there was something off in regards to the new models of Riku, Kairi, and Mickey. But when I rewatched the trailer in 720p, they looked much, much better. It certainly is amazing what difference resolution can make. Really glad to see that Sora will react to different environments. And Back Cover... still waiting on that "scheduled for 2015" Unchained X[chi] game Square...
Teaser trailer arrived today:
I really wish more of Birth by Sleep's tracks were re-recorded. Sucks that only Keyblade Graveyard Horizon, Dismiss, and It's a Small World got that treatment.
I have a feeling it involves the identities of the 13 Seekers of Darkness who have yet to be revealed. I believe I read an interview with Nomura saying something along the lines of not to expect who we're expecting to be part of the group.
~Shore~ "Ah, what a lovely day to take a stroll by the beach," Ron Burgundy told his Lillipip as he took him for a walk along a shore in one of Tokyo's beaches, "So majestic, so peaceful, almost makes me wanna make love with the ocean... again." Ron's Lillipup then started to bark as it noticed something near them. "Yes, Lillipup... it really looks like the ocean's in trouble," Ron replied, having understood that Lillipup mentioned the word 'trouble' in its own language, "Pollution. Pollution everywhere. Rather makes the ocean less sexy." Lillipup continued with its barking, mentioning something about a Pokemon washed up. "Yes, I sometime feel like a Pokemon washed up a- wait... what did you just say about a washed up Pokemon?" Ron asked his Lillipup, looking at the direction his Pokemon was looking at... Over at the shore close to them was a washed up Pokemon (Carvanha to be more specific), lying on the sand as it desperately, but unsuccessfully, tried to get back to the water. "Oh my God... it's beautiful!" Burgundy cried as he and Lillipup rushed towards the Carvanha. Picking it up, Ron commented, "Hmm, male, Carvanha, and a rather feisty one... I believe this is one special Pokemon, wouldn't you say, Lillipup?" Lillipup barked in reply, with Ron saying, "You're absolutely right. As fellow living creatures, we have to look after this guy. There there, poor Carvanha. From now on, we'll be your guardians. And as your guardian, I shall bestow upon you a magnificent name. From this day forth, you shall be known as... Doby!" 'Welcome to the family, Doby!' Lillipup barked in its own language as Ron walked back towards his car while still carrying Doby, telling his new Pokemon, "Just wait till we get home. We're gonna feed you, and take care of you, and nurture you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Courthouse~ "Like I said, Harold, we'll talk about your community service tomorrow. But for now, go somewhere safe, and rest," Jenny told Harold. Grabbing his apartment key from his pocket, Matt handed it to Harold, telling him, "You can go back to my apartment if you want." "Come on! Let's go!" Carter called out to the others as he rushed to his car, with Lee, Foggy, Jenny, and Matt (while being assisted by Jenny) following him. One they all reached Carter's car, James Carter immediately started the car, and headed towards Tokyo National Bank. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank - Vault~ "Shan-Yu," one of the Shan-Yu's henchmen said as he stepped into the vault, "The police force is outside, with their guns ready to fire." "And?" Shan-Yu asked, expecting more to the update. "We sent a message saying that if they try anything, or if anyone other than James Carter and Lee try entering, we will shoot all the hostages at point blank," the henchman replied. "Much better," Shan-Yu commented, grinning as his henchman walked away. "It seems you have everything under control, Shan-Yu," Jadeite said as he placed the tied up Aerith on a nearby chair. "Indeed, Jadeite," Shan-Yu replied. "I found it," Lash said, pulling out a metal box from the wall. Looking at the box, Shan-Yu noticed the box was locked, and labelled '#72707', indicating this was the vault box that belonged to Megumi Kitaniji, the very box he had been trying to acquire for a while. "And inside the box, lies Azog..." Shan-Yu commented. "With both Azog and Lavos being returned, Astral would be most pleased," Jadeite added. "Yes," Lash concurred, "But this whole operation would be over by now if it weren't for the metal this box is manufactured with." Pointing his right hand at the box, Lash tried decimating it with a powerful energy blast. But the blast was completely ineffective, with the box showing no damage whatsoever. "Vibranium from Wakanda," Lash identified the box's metal, "The one thing S-types such as myself can never penetrate." "Just like Captain Japan's shield," Jadeite commented. "Yes," Lash replied, "Those days of fighting him truly were some of our hardest." Turning to face Shan-Yu, Lash said, "Obtaining that vault key is important. Without it, Azog will remain imprisoned." "I completely understand, my S-type friend," Shan-Yu replied. Nodding, Lash approached Jadeite, who told Shan-Yu, "Then I suppose you can take care of things from here." "Yes," Shan-Yu replied, "And I believe you two have a funeral to attend to?" "Yes," Jadeite answered. "Shame, what happened to Saïx," Lash commented, "Betrayed by Discord and Mewtwo." "They will pay for their treason. All in good time," Shan-Yu replied as Jadeite teleported himself and Lash away, leaving Shan-Yu alone with Aerith inside the vault. "Well, looks like it's just you and me for now," Shan-Yu told Aerith. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo National Bank~ Arriving at the scene, the Tokyo Police Department chief, Looker, was stunned at what he was seeing. "Unbelievable," Looker commented as he approached Shintaro and Kiriko, "Kiriko, any updates?" 'Jenny, you and Carter better get here quick,' Looker thought to himself. --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Connor's Home~ "Connor, I'm home!" Achilles said as he entered his and Connor's home... Over at his room, Connor instantly woke up from his sleep, replying, "Welcome home, Achilles... how was jury duty?" "Dragged on rather long if you ask me," Achilles answered as he walked over to the kitchen, "You alright with having left-overs for dinner?" "Yeah, sure..." Connor replied as he slowly got up from his bed, stretching. However, he noticed something. The headache that was giving him pain for hours was gone. 'Is it... over?' Connor thought to himself as he felt his forehead, relieved that he no loner had a headache. Walking out of his room, Kenway headed towards the kitchen, only to gasp at the sight of Achilles. The colorful auras he saw around his friends earlier was around Achilles, colored blue. "Connor, is something wrong?" Achilles asked. Shaking his head and blinking, Connor noticed the aura gone. 'Strange...' Connor thought to himself. Trying to see if he can make the aura come back, Connor blinked, and the aura returned once again. Blinking again, he saw the aura disappear once again. "You look like you've seen a ghost," Achilles continued. "Oh, umm, it's nothing, Achilles," Connor replied. Shrugging, Achilles continued preparing dinner. Connor, on the other hand, was thinking to himself, 'Is this... vision I keep getting... a power?' ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Muppets Japan Theater - Backstage~ "Nice work everyone, keep up the good work," Kermit told everyone backstage as they rehearsed for the upcoming show. "But Kermit, what about you?" Scooter asked. "Oh, guess you're right, Scooter," Kermit replied, "So, what am I supposed to rehearse for?" "Your duet. With Miss Piggy," Scooter answered, much to Kermit's dismay. "Oh boy..." Kermit said to himself as he walked over to Miss Piggy's dressing room, where the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ As Hiccup and Katniss arrived at the Command Center (along with Toothless and Haymitch), the two got to see each other without their Rider suits on. "Katniss," Hiccup greeted his fellow Rider. "Hiccup," Katniss greeted back as she looked around, "So... I guess this is where you, Ron, and others like us hang out?" "Some of us, yeah," Hiccup replied, "Allow me to introduce you to the guys here. This little one's called Navi. And this here's Alpha 5... or just simply 'Alpha' for short. Guys, this is Katniss Everdeen, the Rider that Ron tried recruiting." "Aye-yi-yi, it's so good to finally meet you in person, Katniss," Alpha told Katniss. "Thank you, umm, Alpha, was it?" Katniss replied, with Hiccup nodding in reply. "PikaPika!" Haymitch greeted Alpha and Navi. "And lemme introduce you to the big boss head, Zordon!" Hiccup continued, pointing Katniss towards Zordon. "Greetings, Katniss Everdeen. It is a pleasure to finally meet you," Zordon greeted Katniss, "Ronald has spoken quite highly of you, and of how you heroically defeated Thrax." "T-thank you, Zordon," Katniss replied, blushing a bit. "And she just saved me from a Rider who was part of the Crystal Order!" Hiccup told Zordon. "Aye-yi-yi! The Crystal Order has a Rider fighting for them?!" Alpha cried. "Yeah," Hiccup replied, "And it wasn't like what happened with Ron with the whole brainwashing thing... this guy, whoever he is... he clearly knew what he was doing, and for whose side he fought for. All I can say is that he's gonna be trouble for us." "This is indeed troubling news, Hiccup," Zordon commented, "Was there anything you learned about him?" "Well, he knows the identities of those fighting on your side," Hiccup replied to Zordon, "He also said something about the Earth we know being gone forever..." "It appears that this new Rider associated with the Crystal Order may be a bigger threat than one would perceive," Zordon commented, "Perhaps it is best to remain vigilant until his threat is dealt with." "That sounds like a good plan," Katniss concurred. "No disagreement from me," Hiccup added as he looked at his watch, "Oh no! I'm gonna be late! I promised Manon I'd pick her up and take her to the Muppet Telethon! Sorry I gotta bail so soon, Katniss, but Manon's waiting on me." "Don't worry, Hiccup," Katniss replied, smiling, "Go on ahead. I'm sure I can get back home myself... just as soon as Haymitch and I acquaint ourselves more with this place." "Pikachu," Haymitch concurred, nodding. "She's right, Hiccup," Alpha added, "We can take care of Katniss." "Thanks," Hiccup replied as he turned to face Katniss, "Anyway, Katniss... it's great to see you finally join our ranks. Hope to discuss more Rider business with you later." Katniss and Haymitch then waved goodbye as Hiccup teleported himself and Toothless away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~???~ After the incident with Ruiji and Romulus, with the enigmatic Gordon teleporting out of nowhere and taking Golden Freddy away, the S-type found himself in an empty red room, with the door sealed tight, preventing him from getting away. So the S-type took his frustration on the furniture around him, smashing whatever was in his sight for hours. As Golden Freddy sat down for a rest, the S-type noticed the door finally open, with Gordon, the same one who teleported him away, walk in... "You done yet?" Gordon asked. "I don't get it..." Golden Freddy replied, "Why did you take me? Who are you?" "We took you in because you were making too much noise," Gordon answered. "Noise?" a confused Golden Freddy questioned, "And who's 'we'?" "'We'... are like you, Golden Freddy," Gordon replied, "Just like you, we reject the leadership of Astral." "Huh?" Golden Freddy questioned, who was even more confused now. "What happens to you next is not up to me," Gordon continued as he moved aside, allowing his leader, Jiaying, to enter the room, along with her assistant, Lincoln Campbell... Recognizing who Jiaying was, Golden Freddy said, "I see..." Extending her hand, Jiaying said, "Come, Golden Freddy. Let's talk." Nodding, Golden Freddy approached Jiaying, and held her hand as the two walked out of the room.
Hope so. Out of the 3 Hoenn starters, Blaziken and Swampert (Mega Swampert ftw!) make more sense to me to add than Sceptile (not that there's anything wrong with adding Sceptile).

Agree, especially since they said they were aiming for an Advent Children look for the game. Still, it's too early, and hopefully the graphics get improved.
Here's a new cinematic released, revealing that for the first time in the series, dialogue options will be a part of the game: Pretty neat addition imo.
So they're going with a KH/FFXV style battle system. Interesting. I can already imagine people being angry about this change lol.
~Eddy's Home~ As Eddy was alone in his room, taking a nap, the following silliness happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Rose's Home~ Arriving outside Rose Tyler's home in his car, John Smith honked on his car to signal to Rose that he was here. "Coming!" Rose replied as she stepped out of her front door, and rushed towards the car... "Ready Miss Tyler?" John asked. "Ready, Mr. Smith," Rose replied as she got in the car, "So, where are we going?" "Oh, I know this great by the harbor. You'll love it," Smith replied as he drove off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Inside the Bus~ As the Bus was flying over Japan, Skye was sitting alone, pondering the recent events in which she found out dark secrets involving her father. "You okay?" Shining Armor said as he approached Skye... "Yeah..." Skye replied, nodding. "Mind if I have a seat?" the pony asked, with Skye scooching over for the J.I.A. general to sit next to her. "How's the 0-8-4?" Skye asked. "It's secure. Don't worry about it," Shining Armor replied. "Right," Skye replied. "Look, if there's anything you want, we're here for you, Skye," Shining Armor told Skye. "Thanks, Shining," Skye replied, finally displaying a smile on her face. "May says we're landing soon," Alan said as he arrived to the area where Skye and Shining Armor were... "The Cavalry has spoken," Skye commented, referring to May by her nickname, 'The Cavalry'. "Don't... don't call her that," Shining Armor told Skye. "Why not? Didn't she get the nickname after shooting around 100 bad guys in Bahrain?" Skye asked, "Well, at least that's what I heard. And it's pretty badass. I don't see why she wouldn't like it." "That's not how it went down," Shining Armor replied as Alan leaned against a wall, and listened, "She didn't have a gun. None of us did. And it wasn't a rescue or an assault, or whatever the rumors say these days. We were the welcome wagon. And it went south." "How many..." Skye asked before being interrupted by the pony. "Plenty," the J.I.A. general instantly replied, "A civilian girl and a few of our guys were stuck inside a building, being held by the followers of this strange individual... or worshippers. We never found out." "May did," Skye wondered out loud, with Shining Armor nodding in reply. "She took it upon herself to get them out. Said she could fix the problem. So she went in, crossed off the enemy force. Didn't say how," Shining Armor continued. "Did she lose anyone in there?" Skye asked. "Herself," Shining Armor responded, "May used to be different. She was always quiet, she just... she was warm. Fearless in a different way, getting in trouble, pulling pranks, thought rules were meant to be broken. Sound familiar? But when she walked out of that building... it was like that part of her was gone. I tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't tell me what went down in there." "What did you say?" Skye asked. "I said the words I thought she needed to hear," Shining Armor replied. "It's why you want her on the plane... why you made her a part of this team... to see if that person is still in there somewhere," Skye guessed, with Shining Armor simply smiling in response. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Muppets Japan Theater~ "Watching the show is all the help I believe the Muppets need," Jack replied before thinking of an idea, "Although, if you really want to help, there is one thing you can do. Operators will be sitting over at that balcony section right over there." Jack then pointed to a balcony section on the theater's left-side, very close to the stage, with all the seats containing a telephone in front of them. "Being a telethon, people will be calling to make donations," Sparrow continued, "And all the operators involved are strictly volunteers. So, the more volunteers helping take calls, the better it is for the Muppets. Sounds like a plan, savvy?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tsukino Household~ "Alrighty, everyone's got their seat belts fastened?" Kenji asked. "Yup," Rini replied while Sammy nodded. "Perfect," Ikuko said, "Next stop... the Muppet theater!" Kenji then started the car, and started driving away. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Tokyo National Bank~ Stepping out of his van, and watching as it drove away, Shan-Yu noticed the Tokyo National Bank building in front of him. Looking closely, Shan-Yu recognized a couple of his henchmen standing in different spots around the bank, ready for his signal to start the attack. Looking up, Shan-Yu noticed his S-type ally, Lash, standing at the roof of the bank... Nodding to the S-type, Lash nodded back to Shan-Yu. 'Perfect... everything's all set,' Shan-Yu thought to himself as he snapped his fingers. His henchmen then took out their AK-47 rifles, and marched into the bank with Shan-Yu. "NOBODY MOVE!" Shan-Yu yelled as he entered, with his henchmen shooting their rifles at the ceiling, causing everyone inside to scream in fear, "THIS PLACE IS BEING HIJACKED BY THE HUNS. DO AS YOU'RE TOLD, AND NO ONE GETS HURT!" "Freeze!" a security guard cried, pointing his gun at Shan-Yu. Looking at the security guard, Shan-Yu simply grinned. "I said fre-" the security guard cried before being hit by an energy blast from behind, disintegrating his chest and killing him. As the security officer's body collapsed, the killer was revealed to be Lash. "Perfect timing," Shan-Yu told the S-type, "Come let me show you the vault." Shan-Yu then led Lash to the back of the building while his henchmen were pointing their weapons at everyone in the bank to make sure no one got out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Chinatown - Crystal Order Hideout~ Feeling his phone vibrate, Shay took it out, reading a message that was sent to him. "How do you like that? Shan-Yu and Lash have already taken over the bank," Shay commented. "Then I suppose it's time I took the girl there," Jadeite replied as he carried Aerith and teleported away. "Poor girl..." Starlight Glimmer commented before shrugging, "Oh well. C'est la vie." "C'est la vie, indeed," Shay concurred as he crossed his arms, remembering how Chevalier used that same expression with him shortly before betraying the Japanese army in Iraq all those years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo National Bank - Vault~ As Shan-Yu and Lash were searching for the exact box they were looking for, they noticed Jadeite entering the vault while carrying Aerith... "This is the girl I heard about?" Lash asked. "Indeed," Shan-Yu replied as he approached Jadeite and Aerith. "Such a pretty thing," Shan-Yu commented as he placed his hand on Aerith's cheek, "Would certainly be a shame if I have no choice but to... cover you in blood, hehe..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Yzma's Penthouse - Secret Lab~ "Now then, where was I?" Yzma questioned after Kronk fell into the trap door. "Look out below!" a voice yelled from above. Looking up, Yzma, Kuzco, and Pacha noticed Silver, his Chikorita, and Don riding on a Salamance that was descending towards them... "Aww yeah!" Kuzco cheered. "Guys, you found us!" Pacha added. "Of course we did, Pacha," Silver replied as his Salamance landed next to Pacha and Kuzco, "So looks like you two found the lab." "Chika!" Silver's Chikorita concurred. "Yeah, but Yzma's got the vial with the potion that can turn me back to human," Kuzco said. "Oh yes, and you'll never pry it from my hands!" Yzma threatened. "We'll see about that," Silver replied as he turned towards his Salamance, "Salamance, Hydro Pump her." Nodding, Salamnce blasted Yzma with a powerful Hydro Pump attack, sending a huge volume of water towards her, causing Yzma to be sent straight to the wall while almost drowning from all the water. Once Salamance ceased with its Hydro Pump attack, the wet Yzma slowly got up from the floor, coughing as she still held on to the vial Kuzco wanted with her left hand. "So, ready to give up the vial now?" Silver questioned. "Oh, you're so despicable!" Yzma angrily replied. "Chika!" Silver's Chikorita cried, noticing something on Yzma's right hand. "What is it, Chikorita?" Silver asked. However, he, along with Kuzco and Pacha noticed what Chikorita was looking at. There appeared to be some make-up on Yzma's right hand that was being washed away from the water from Salamance's attack. And as the make-up came off, it was revealed that on Yzma's right palm was the Crystal Order emblem, shocking Kuzco and the others. "I don't believe it..." a shocked Pacha commented. "No way... y-you were with the Crystal Order this whole time?" Kuzco questioned, still not believing what he was seeing. "Huh?" Yzma replied before noticing that the make-up on her right hand had come off, revealing her true colors, "Well, what can I say, Kuzco... I just couldn't resist the perks." Yzma then smashed a button on the wall, with the wall sliding open to reveal a pillar with three Pokeballs on top of it. Grabbing the Pokeballs, Yzma continued, "This ends now!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Building Rooftop~ Spoiler: BGM The battle with Vanitas raged on, and Katniss figured that it was time to end it once and for all. "Let's team up!" Katniss cried as she locked her Lockseed into her Sonic Arrow and fired a powerful arrow shot towards Vanitas, trapping him in a peach-shaped sphere, where he was assaulted by multiple arrows firing in a row. Hiccup nodded, and followed with an attack by stabbing his Banaspear to the ground and initiating a Sparking attack (which involved a banana-shaped projection attacking Vanitas from under the ground). "PIKACHU!" Haymitch cried as he hit Vanitas with a Tunderbolt attack while Toothless hit Vanitas with a plasma blast. After taking the brunt of the attacks, it seemed that Vanitas, now lying on the floor, had been defeated. "Did we... win?" Hiccup questioned. Just then, Vanitas raised his legs, and acrobatically got back up on his feet, surprising his opponents, who returned to their defensive positions, ready for another attack by him. "Hmph, you win," Vanitas commented, "Consider yourselves on probation." Vanitas then teleported away from the scene, leaving Hiccup and Katniss both relieved and confused. "Probation? For what?" a confused Hiccup thought out loud before turning to face Katniss. Spoiler: BGM "Thanks, I owe ya," Hiccup told Katniss. "Don't mention it," Katniss replied. "But... why did you help me?" Hiccup asked, wondering what made Katniss go against what she told Ron and Sakura. "Truth is, this little guy led me to the battle," Katniss replied, kneeling down to pat Haymitch's head. "Pika!" Haymitch concurred. "Seeing what was happening, my conscience wouldn't feel right leaving you to get hurt," Katniss added, "I promised someone, two other Riders to be more specific, that I would only stick to protecting my home district... District 12. But after what just happened, I now realize... lives need saving wherever you are in the world. I guess you could say I've now realized that there's a lot more to being a Rider than I originally thought." Hearing what Katniss just said brought a smile to Hiccup, who figured that now was the perfect opportunity to ask Katniss to join Zordon. "Well, if you want, you can join me..." Hiccup replied, extending his hand to her, "Me and others like us. To protect those who can't defend themselves. To be part of a team. Whaddya say?" Thinking about it for a moment, Katniss looked at Haymitch as though she wanted to get an approval from him. "Pikachu," Haymitch said, nodding, wanting Katniss to accept Hiccup's offer. "Well, guess we have a deal," Katniss told Hiccup, shaking hands with him. "Perfect," Hiccup replied, "Allow me to teleport us to my team's HQ. I'll even introduce you to this really great guy." "Who?" Katniss asked. "Well, let's just say that he convinced me to embrace my identity as a Rider when I was full of doubts," Hiccup replied as he teleported himself, Katniss, Toothless, and Haymitch over to the Command Center. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ After having judged everyone else's dishes (including Max's, which received mixed reception), Gordon Ramsay and the Swedish Chef arrived at Takeda's table. First trying out the 'Frîsk-Dee Fiishee-Fiishy', Ramsay and the Swedish Chef were both pretty impressed. "Very good," Gordon commented, "Very nice tangy flavor to it." The Swedish Chef nodded in agreement as the two moved on to Takeda's 'Sürstrømmin' Cøsrerool', which was positively received as well. "I reelly leeke-a vhet yuou deed vit zee-a cøsrerool," Swedish Chef told Takeda. "I couldn't agree more," Gordon Ramsay concurred, "Nice work." The duo then tried the final dish, Takeda's 'Pånkåkkør Witte Lingønberry Jåm... wît dee lémønee zestée un vanéella sugár'. "Su guod! Børk Børk Børk!" the Swedish Chef enthusiastically said after trying it out. "He's right," Chef Ramsay added, "Tasty and sweet, and not too sweet that it's inedible. Fantastic job, Takeda. You're free to go." "Time-a tu gu tu zee-a zeeter?" the Swedish Chef asked Gordon Ramsay. "Yes, I believe we should go right now, my friend," Gordon Ramsay replied as he and the Swedish Chef left the room, "Do me a favor Takeda... close the door on your way out." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Outside Courthouse~ Catching the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, Inspector Lee gazed at it while listening to Harold's explanation. "Thank you," Lee replied, bowing down to Harold, "I promise to bring it back to you." "Yes... alright... thank you," Jenny said as she was speaking with someone on the phone, hanging up. "Who dat?" Carter asked, wondering who Officer Jenny was speaking with. "The man whose vault key Shan-Yu is after," Jenny replied, "Megumi Kitaniji. He's agreed to meet us shortly with the key." "Megumi Kita- wait a sec... ain't that da CEO of CAT?" Carter questioned. "Yup. It's him alright," Jenny answered. "I swear, if Shan-Yu kidnapped Aerith jus' for some rare-ass CAT pins, I'mma slap him into anotha nationality," Carter angrily said. "Don't worry Carter, we'll save Aerith," Lee assured Carter. Nodding, Carter patted Lee's shoulder, telling him, "Thanks man." Just then, the police radio on Jenny's motorcycle began making an announcement, "All units, we have reports of the Tokyo National Bank being hijacked by armed and dangerous individuals." Gasping upon hearing the announcement, Jenny commented, "He's started." "And he ain't playin' around," Carter added. Listening to what has happened, Matt began to ponder to himself a bit. "Osha... Osha, Oshawott?" Foggy asked Murdock, wondering what he wants to do. Taking a deep breath, Murdock walked over to Jenny, asking, "Mind if Foggy and I tag along?" "Matt, you sure about this?" Officer Jenny asked the blind demon. "Don't worry. Foggy and I'll be fine," Matt responded. "Oshawott," Foggy concurred. "Anna, Elsa, we have to leave, now," Hans told the two sisters, "We'll be safer in the hotel."
I'll be honest, I'm more disappointed with the fact that a new world wasn't announced as opposed to not getting the trailer. But not disappointed enough to start pointing fingers at Square or Disney. Jump Festa's coming up, so hopefully something will emerge from there. And then there's the possibility that new information might get revealed in Famitsu, Dengeki, or some other magazine when we least expect it.
