I've never seen anything Asa was in, but I hear he's a brilliant actor, so I have faith he'll do a good job. And at 18 years old, he's the perfect age to play a high-school aged Peter Parker.

Spoiler It's Coulson who's assembling the Avengers this time! Indirectly, sure, but who cares! ^This quote right here is why I love this show so much, and I'm so glad to have watched this week's episode right before I get to see Age of Ultron in two days.
The article mentioned that it was planned months in advance, not in response to recent events. But yeah, talk about bad timing...
A X[chi] port would definitely make me happy. If not, then I'd only be interested if it was a game that was important to the plot. So if it was just something like "Kingdom Hearts Solitaire", and meant to be nothing more than a time-waster, then count me out. However... Now this is something I really want to see. And considering they're doing a Theatrhythm Dragon Quest, I wouldn't be surprised if we do get a KH version (which I'd buy instantly).
I watched the riots live as they happened yesterday. There is definitely a sense of frustration happening, and I can understand why the people are angry. They had every right to be upset about what happened. HOWEVER, what I saw yesterday was a terrible example of how to protest. Actually, I'm not gonna even refer to it as a protest. It was vandalism and theft. If you wanna make a point, do so peacefully, not by attacking and looting from the properties of others who had nothing to do with the problem in the first place.
You have no idea how much I want this to be real. The following description in particular caught my attention: As a Muslim, I would be so happy to see some Muslim superhero representation in the MCU, and would definitely make Kamala the one Marvel protagonist I can most identify with.
~Mudka's Meat Hut~ "Is there anything on this menu that is not swimming in gravy?" Yzma wondered out loud after having a look at the menu, not particularly impressed with the food being served. "Hang on. I'll go ask the chef," Kronk replied to Yzma, getting up and walking towards the kitchen, hoping the chef offers special orders. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat Hut - Kitchen~ "Look, all I know is the food looked iffy. All right? And I'm not the only one that thinks that, I'm sure," Kuzco (who was still disguised as a female) complained to the chef, angering him as he continued cooking, "So I'm just checking to make sure that you're gonna take the main course up a notch. It's a simple question. Is there or is there not anything edible on this menu?" Quietly entering the kitchen, Pacha found Kuzco complaining to the chef (who was fuming after hearing Kuzco complain about his cooking)... "Psst, we gotta get outta here," Pacha whispered to Kuzco as he grabbed him and headed for the door, hoping to avoid being detected by Yzma or Kronk. But upon reaching the kitchen door, Pacha noticed Kronk making his way to the kitchen, realizing he and Kuzco were going to have to hide somewhere else. As Pacha ran to the kitchen's storage room while still carrying Kuzco, Kuzco (still wanting to complain to the chef), said, "Hey, I didn't ask him about dessert yet!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo Cathedral~ Walking around the cathedral, the monk, Yang, found someone sitting close to the front of the cathedral, someone who he hasn't seen come to the church for a very long time. It was the blind demon, Matt Murdock, who was accompanied by his Oshawott, Foggy... "Matthew, long time, no see" Yang greeted Matt ash he approached him, taking a seat right next to him. "Yeah. It's been too long since I came here," Murdock replied. "Oshawott," Foggy added, nodding in agreement with Matt. "Indeed," Yang concurred, "So, what brings you here?" "Well, I've sinned," Matt answered. "I see..." Yang said, "How about you start from the beginning." "Well, my dad, he used to come to this church back when I was a kid. He was a fighter. Old school. Boxer. WVBA. Lost more than he won. Had a 24-31 record before he, uh..." Matt said, not being able to say the word 'died' when mentioning his father, "But he could take a punch. Damn, he could take a punch." "Language..." Yang replied, reminding Matt that he was in a church, and that he wasn't supposed to use language inside. "Right, sorry," Murdock apologized to Yang, "Yeah, guys he went up against used to say it was like hitting oak. And nights when he was outmatched, my dad's strategy was to let 'em hit him till they broke their hands. Heh, he never got knocked out, my dad. Knocked down, sure. But he, uh, always got back up. He was always on his feet when he lost. Every now and then, though, uh... Every now and then, he'd get hit and... something inside of him would snap. My grandmother, she was the real Catholic. Fear of God ran deep. You'd have liked her. She used to say, 'Be careful of the Murdock boys. They got the devil in 'em.' Heh, wasn't sure if she was referring to the fact that we were demons, or something else. But eventually, I think I understood what she meant. You'd see it sometimes with my dad... in the ring. His eyes would go dead... and he'd start walking forward real slow... hands at his sides, like he wasn't afraid of anything. And the other guy, he'd see that look, and he'd try to get away from him. Nah. My dad, he'd catch him and... trap him in the corner. Let the devil out. Yeah. Now, I didn't understand it, you know? What he was feeling deep inside, I didn't understand it. Not back then." Spoiler: BGM "But you understand it now?" Yang asked, "Perhaps this would be easier if you tell me what you've done." "I'm not seeking penance for what I've done," Murdock replied, "I'm asking forgiveness... for what I'm about to do." "Osha," Foggy concurred. "That's not how this works," Yang said, "What exactly are you going to do, Matthew?" "I just want to make my city a better place," Matt answered after a few seconds of silence. Getting up from his seat, Matt told Foggy, "Let's go, buddy." "Oshawott," Foggy replied as he climbed up to Murdock's shoulder. Matt then took out his white cane to help him walk, and headed towards the cathedral's exit with Foggy, while Yang was left to wonder what Murdock was seeking forgiveness for. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ "Well, he seems alright," Kenji commented after Kengo and Chibi Chibi left, "But I'd keep an eye out for him, just in case." Sighing, Ikuko said, "I'm sorry if I overreacted, Serena. But it can be dangerous out there. I heard things about a Rider causing trouble in town, and well... well it doesn't matter anymore. I'm sure you're as hungry as we are. Let's just have lunch together with the newest addition to the family. Rini, have a seat next to Serena." "Sure thing, Auntie Ikuko," Rini replied after patting Luna on the head, realizing that Ikuko was right about Luna looking exactly like Luna-P. Although Rini wasn't happy to be sitting next to Serena, she was still happy to do as Ikuko told her. "About time, I'm starving!" Sammy said as Rini took a seat at the table. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ 'Harold...' Hiccup thought to himself after Harry mentioned the mysterious wizard's name. After Harry left with Ron and Mew, Zordon asked Hiccup, "Is something still troubling you, Hiccup?" Zordon asked Hiccup, noticing him still thinking to himself. "Well, it was about that lady that appeared after Harold took care of Ron," Hiccup replied, "Told me about a dragon's flame inside me, and how I should keep it burning." "Probably just meant you should never give up," Alpha told Hiccup. "So... she's on our side?" Hiccup asked. "It would appear so, Hiccup," Zordon replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "My dear, you can't live your life afraid if you'll hurt others with your powers," Yen Sid replied to Elsa, "Your powers are a gift, a part of who you are. Just as my magical abilities are a part of who I am. If you have full control of them, then you have nothing to be afraid of." "Yen Sid's right, your highness," Officer Jenny added, "You can't let your fear control you." ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ After trying out Mario's ratatouille, Siebold, the Swedish Chef, and Chef Gordon Ramsay tried out the other students' ratatouille, praising some, while criticizing others. Once the trio tried out Max's ratatouille, the reactions were rather mixed. "Hmm, it does have the taste of any other ratatouille, but something doesn't feel right about it..." Siebold commented after taking a bit, with the Swedish Chef nodding in agreement. Spitting out the ratatouille from his mouth into a napkin, Chef Gordon Ramsay noticed that parts of the ratatouille were burnt on the inside. "Well now I know why it tasted like s***. It was f***ing burnt!" Gordon Ramsay complained to Max, "What were you f***ing trying to do with the ratatouille?! Send it to hell?!" "Umm, how about you start on the quiche, Monsieur," Siebold told Max, "Just try not to burn it like you did with the ratatouille." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Amethyst Arcade Dimension~ Ludo and his minions were chasing Star Butterfly throughout the Amethyst Arcade left and right, with no end in sight. Star was able to easily run between the many arcade machines in the area, while Ludo and his minions would just push the arcade machines out of their way. "Ugh, they just won't stop!" Star said to herself as she continued running. "Faster you idiots, FASTER!" Ludo yelled a he was riding a bat, ordering his minions to catch up to the princess from Mewni. Eventually, the chase found its way to another area of the arcade, where a music-related arcade game was hooked up to a 20 foot speaker. "Idea!" Star said to herself as she had a plan to stop Ludo's minions. Arriving at the large speaker, Star Butterfly began climbing up the 20 foot device easily. Once she was at the top, Star noticed Ludo and his minions arrive at the bottom. "Hey! Bet you can't catch me now!" Star yelled to Ludo and his minions at the bottom. "You idiots! Go get her!" Ludo yelled at his minions, who did as Ludo ordered them to, and began climbing up the big speaker. Once the minions were halfway up the speaker, Star jumped to a staircase nearby while kicking the big speaker behind her, causing the device to slightly tip, just enough to cause it to fall. "Uh-oh..." One of the minions who was climbing the speaker said as the speaker crashed to the floor, breaking into many different pieces, and injuring all of Ludo's minions, much to Ludo's dismay. "Oh Ludo, why do you even try?" Star Butterfly asked her arch nemesis after climbing down the staircase and approaching him. "This isn't over, Princess Butterfly! Mark my words... One day, I'll get your family's wand. You'll see... YOU'LL SEE!!!" Ludo angrily replied. Yawning, Star didn't really feel threatened by what Ludo told her, saying, "Yeah yeah, sure... whatever you say, Ludo." Fuming, Ludo turned around, and took out the Game Boy, pointing it into thin air. A light then emitted from the Game Boy, and opened a portal in front of Ludo that would lead to the dimension of Mewni. "Alright you morons, get up!" Ludo yelled at his minions, who emerged from under the broken speaker parts, all groaning due to their injures, and walked to the portal one by one, with Ludo being the last one to enter the portal before it disappeared. "Hmm, I kinda feel bad for him," Star Butterfly said to herself as she went back to playing video games. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Well, I need Goldar to go down and spy on those brothers that the S-type mentioned," Thrax replied to his father, "But not fight them. No... first we must know who they are. Meanwhile, I'll be going down myself to deal with one of those spandex heroes. Hopefully by tonight, we'll have one less nuisance to worry about." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Channel 4 News~ "Back to you, Ron," Brick said as he was finished covering the weather, with the screen switching back to news anchor, Ron Burgundy... "Thanks Brick," Burgundy replied as he went back to reporting the news, "The race for prime minister of Japan kicked off today with the first debate between Cosmos and Harold Saxon, taking place at the auditorium of local high school, Nintendo High. For more on this story, here's a report by our very own, Brian Fantana." The screen then switched to footage recorded earlier in the morning, where field reporter, Brian Fantana, was reporting outside the Nintendo High School Auditorium, with a crowd of security guards and reporters behind him... "Patriotism is in the air here at Nintendo High School, with the first debate between Cosmos and Harold Saxon officially over. As for who won the debate? Well, we'll leave that for the experts," Brian Fantana said in front of the camera while holding a microphone, "As for me, I'm going to try to get a comment from either of the two candidates as they're exiting from the back." The back doors of the auditorium then opened, indicating that Cosmos and Saxon were about to exit. "Perfect timing," Fantana said as he rushed towards the crowd behind him, trying to get a comment from either candidate. "Cosmos, Saxon, got a minute?" Brian yelled while in the crowd, only to be dragged away by two security guards off-screen. "Hey guys, what are yo- OW! OW! Oh my GOD! OWWW!!!" Brian cried offscreen, indicating the security guards beat him up. The screen then switched back to Ron Burgundy in the news room, who said, "Quality reporting, from our own, Brian Fantana. Murder! In a local restaurant today by an unknown gunman. Police are currently trying to track down the gunman. Victim was a 73 year-old man named Galuf. For more on this story, here's another report by Brian Fantana." The screen then switched to Brian Fantana (with a black eye and a bandage over his cheek due to the beating from earlier), who was standing in front of the Jumpman restaurant earlier in the day, shortly after Galuf's murder. "'Shock' is the word that perfectly describes what everyone in the relatively peaceful area here is feeling," Brian said with his microphone, "What appeared to be a very busy day for this restaurant behind me came to an abrupt stop after a friend of the owner was shot by an unknown person. Detectives are currently on the way, while the police forensic team is inside examining the body before taking it to the morgue. Let's have a look inside." As Fantana tried to go inside the restaurant, two police officers grabbed him, and took him somewhere off-screen. "Oh no, not again... OW! OWWW! Oh my God! What is with security these days! OW!! OWWWWW!!!" Brian Fantana cried offscreen, indicating he was getting beat up (again) by the police officers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School Rooftop~ "Truth be told, I've only been a member for a week exactly," Xehanort told Sunset Shimmer on the rooftop of the school building, where the two of them were the only ones around, "After discovering I had a certain power, I was approached by my master, and offered a place in the Crystal Order. I'll admit, I was very hesitant at first. Eventually, I accepted, and I don't regret it one bit." Shaking her head, Sunset Shimmer said, "I don't believe this. Xehanort, how could you? The Crystal Order is a group of evil terrorists!" "Is it the media that refers to us as such?" Xehanort asked. "Yeah, but doesn't make it any less true," Sunset Shimmer replied, "Ever heard of 9/11? The Crystal Order did that!" "Some deaths are necessary for us to reach our goal," Xehanort said, "It is unfortunate... but we don't have much of a choice in our path to save the world." "Save? From what?! Innocent lives?!" Sunset Shimmer asked, not believing that she is having this discussion in the first place. "Sunset... how does society treat demons like yourself?" Xehanort asked. "What does this have to do with what we're talking about?" Sunset Shimmer retorted. "Society has always been known to be prejudiced against certain groups," Xehanort said, "Demons are just one of many of those groups. Demons like yourself try to live normal lives, but there will always be those who associate you with the very small minority of the demon population that actually hurts others. Such bigotry must be put to an end. However, that is not why my organization attacks people. We do it, to get closer to our goal, which is to establish a new world order... a world where no borders divide countries, a world where all are considered equal, a world of peace. I fight... to protect individuals like yourself, Sunset." Unable to respond to Xehanort, Sunset Shimmer remained silent, thinking about what Xehanort just said, and realizing he did have a point about how demons (and other groups) were looked down upon in society. Still, she wasn't sure if the Crystal Order was doing the right thing, despite accepting that Xehanort made some very good points. "How about you come with me tonight... to our headquarters," Xehanort suggested. "W-What?" Sunset Shimmer replied, surprised that Xehanort would take her to the Crystal Order HQ despite the fact she wasn't part of the Crystal Order. "I'll take you there... just one visit. And if you don't like it, then I promise you will never have to go there again," Xehanort said. "Promise?" Shimmer asked, with Xehanort nodding in reply. Sighing, Sunset Shimmer said, "Okay Xehanort, I'll do it." Smiling, Xehanort replied, "Perfect. Meet me back here in an hour." With Sunset Shimmer nodding in reply, Xehanort then headed for the stairs, exiting the rooftop, leaving Sunset Shimmer by herself. 'I hope I don't regret this,' Sunset Shimmer thought to herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Abandoned Building~ "And right there is the flaw in your thinking," Romulus replied, "You talk about humans as though they're the only species that matter. What about ponies? Demons? Aliens who immigrated to this planet? Or any other species that lives among society? Do they not matter? Do their feelings not matter? That was the big mistake the citizens of Earth did when the S-types first arrived to Earth fifty years ago. We automatically viewed them as a threat, when in reality, they were afraid. The only reason they hurt others was because we automatically hurt them first, simply because we don't know much about them. But when you get to know them, there's more to them than meets the eye. When my master first talked to Astral, Astral showed my master the flaws of the planet we live in. It's kinda embarrassing that we needed someone outside of Earth to point out our flaws. But the S-types are basically like brothers now. I scratch their back, they scratch mine. It's a symbiotic relationship. We just want what's best for the world, for all species living in this planet, nothing more. And besides, any basic history class will show that the inhabitants of Earth are equally as destructive as the S-types... maybe even more." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 36: Flashback 8 Years Ago (October 7, 2005) / Outside Japanese Military Base on the Outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq~ After waiting for Muqtada al-Sadr and his men to arrive for half an hour, Haytham noticed a flickering light in the distance, which was the signal he was waiting for. "That's the signal," Haytham told Shay and the others, pointing towards the flickering light, "Muqtada's finally here. Now just like last time, his men will start the attack from the other side of the base. Then we surprise them from here." "Right," Romulus, Shay, and Jadeite all replied at the same time. Waiting for the attack to begin, the group heard an explosion taking place from the other side of the base along with sound of guns shooting, indicating that the attack began. "Now Romulus!" Shay ordered Romulus. Taking out a bazooka, Romulus pointed it towards the walls of the base in front of them, and sent a rocket flying straight towards the base's wall, causing a massive explosion, and giving Shay and the others an opening. Spoiler: BGM "ATTACK!" Romulus yelled as he, Shay, Jadeite, and Haytham as well, charged towards the base. "Okay, Romulus. Just like last time, get a helicopter! Jadeite and I will try to help Muqtada's forces!" Shay yelled to the others as they entered the base. "And I'll find the one in charge of this place," Kenway replied as he split off from the group, hoping to find the individual in charge of the base. Romulus also split off, trying to find a helicopter he can take control of. Meanwhile, Shay and Jadeite attacked any Japanese soldier they came across. Shay would shoot at enemy combatants with his rifle, while Jadeite shoot soldiers with lightning strikes and send sharp objects flying towards them. After advancing a bit, Shay and Jadeite found Muqtada al-Sadr's forces in a fierce gunfight with Japanese soldiers. "We have to help them!" Jadeite told Shay, who nodded in reply. Suddenly, they heard a loud explosion from behind, turning around, Shay and Jadeite noticed it was from a helicopter that was shot down. Looking around, they found a helicopter flying above the downed copter, flown by Romulus. "Heh, good job, Romulus," Jadeite said, realizing that Romluus was the one who shot it down. Romulus then flew his helicopter towards the gunfight, and sent a rocket flying towards the Japanese soldiers, killing the majority of them, eliciting cheers from Muqtada al-Sadr's men. "Nice one," Shay commented. However, a rocket was sent towards Romulus's helicopter, hitting it, causing it to fall down. Realizing that he lost the copter, Romulus quickly got out of the pilot seat, and jumped out of the helicopter, landing hard, but safe on the ground, while the helicopter crashed into the walls of the base. Shay and Jadeite quickly rushed to Romulus to make sure he was okay. "You alright?" Shay asked Romulus. "Yeah," Romulus replied, "Not sure who shot me down though." Hearing the sound of another rocket flying towards Muqtada's forces, Romulus, Shay, and Jadeite watched as a rocket hit where their allies where, killing many of them. Looking around to see the source of the rocket, Shay found a familiar face in the distance holding a rocket launcher... "Liam!" Shay cried, recognizing his old friend as the man who shot down Romulus's helicopter and sent a rocket towards Muqtada al-Sadr's forces, "Romulus, Jadeite, you two keep fighting. I've got some business to take care of." As Romulus and Jadeite both nodded, Shay rushed towards Liam O'Brien. Noticing Shay, Liam ran away, hoping to lure Shay to a trap... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University - Pokemon Battling Field~ "Phew... good match, Clemont," Misty told Clemont as they shook hands after the match was over. "Agreed. You were a worthy opponent," Clemont replied. "You both did great," Brock said as he and everyone sitting in the bleachers clapped. "I agree," a familiar voice added. Turning around, Misty found her Biology professor, Professor Sycamore, approach her while accompanied by his Fennekin and Espurr... "Hello there, Misty," Professor Sycamore greeted Misty. "Nyapah!" Espurr added, waving towards Misty. "Fokka!" Fennekin said, saying hello to Misty as well. "Professor Sycamore... what a surprise," Misty replied, blushing, "Oh Clemont, this is the professor I mentioned who spent some time in France." "Really... Where in France?" Clemont asked Sycamore as the others from the bleachers began walking towards the field. "Kalos region to be specific. Beautiful place," Sycamore replied. "Wow, small world," Clemont commented, "I happen to be from Lumiose City myself." "Heh, small world indeed," Sycamore replied as he shook hands with Clemont, "Nice to meet you, Clemont." "Likewise," Clemont said, happy to meet someone familiar with home. Once the others arrived, Misty said, "Hey guys, I'd like you all to meet Professor Sycamore. He the Biology professor for Gary, Tracey, and myself." The others began to wave their hands and say hello, with Sycamore happily waving back at them. Haunter, Togepi, and Haymitch proceeded towards Fennekin and Espurr in order to say hello. "TogiTogi," Togepi greeted Fennekin and Espurr, remembering them from Misty's Biology classes. "HaunterHaunter!" Haunter added, waving hello to them. "Panyapanya!" Espurr happily replied to both Togepi and Haunter. "Fokka!" Fennekin added as she cuddled Togepi, which Togepi enjoyed. "Pikachu!" Haymitch said as he reached the other Pokemon. However, upon reaching the group of Pokemon, Haymitch's eyes were fixated on Fennekin. It was pretty much love at first sight for Haymitch, whose eyes were filled with hearts as he watched Fennekin play around with the other Pokemon. "Pi...kaaa," Haymitch said as he imagined Fennekin winking at him. "I'm giving some senior high school students a tour of Tokyo University," Misty told Sycamore. "That must be fun," Sycamore replied, "Speaking of which, I've got some good news for you." "Oh?" Misty said, wondering what Sycamore had to say. "Well, you got the internship at the aquarium," Sycamore replied, "Congratulations. You'll be starting this weekend." "I-I am?" Misty said, "Oh thank you so much, Professor!" "No problem at all, Misty," Sycamore replied. "Wow, congrats Misty," Tracey said. "Hope you enjoy it," Sabrina added. "Yeah, you earned it," Gary said. "Thanks, guys," Misty replied. "So anyway, how do you guys like TU so far?" Sycamore asked the Nintendo High School seniors. "Pretty great so far," Connor replied. "Yeah. And with many things like a clinic, aquarium, and even this Pokemon battle field, there's so much a student can do here," Katniss added. "Yeah, that's great and all," Dick Grayson commented, "But what I'm really interested in are the events held here, like that Daft Punk and Powerline concert later tonight." "Hmm, not sure about the concert, but I was actually on my way to another event happening real soon," Sycamore replied to Dick, "That open challenge Diantha has for a Pokemon match at the stadium. She and I go way back." "Wait a sec... THE Diantha herself??" Brock asked. "Yup. Promised her that I'd watch the match," Sycamore replied to Brock, "You all can join me if you want. Admission's free." "Count me in!" Brock instantly said, with Misty giving him a suspicious look, wondering if he said that just so he can flirt with Diantha. "I'd like to check it out as well," Tracey commented. "Sure, why not?" Sabrina added. "Yeah, I'll go too," Gary said, "What about you, Misty?" "Well, only if my high school buddies want to go," Misty replied as she faced the Nintendo High School seniors, "Any objections?" Remembering that Kermit the Frog was looking for a celebrity guest for the show on Friday, Clemont figured he could try to ask Diantha if she'd do it, and said, "I'd like to go. Is it okay with you guys?" Noticing neither Dick nor Katniss objecting to it, Connor replied, "Sure Clemont. We'll go." "Thanks guys," Clemont thanked Connor and the other Nintendo High School seniors. "Then it's a date. Let's go," Professor Sycamore said. Misty picked up Togepi, and Haunter rejoined Sabrina. As both Fennekin and Espurr followed Sycamore, Haymitch continued staring at Fennekin. "Haymitch... you okay?" Katniss asked her Pikchu. Snapping out of it, Pikachu shook his head, and looked up at Katniss. "Pikachu..." Haymitch replied as he scratched his head and sweatdropped, climbing up to Katniss's shoulder. Katniss then followed everyone else as they headed towards the Tokyo University Stadium.

No, siree They'd find out There's so much more to me Looking at the Tokyo skyline from an open section of a half-completed wall with Mimi, Emma said, "Someday Emma, things are gonna change.

I wanna talk to you about something.

"Right on time, Sunset," a familiar voice behind Sunset Shimmer said. Turning around, Shimmer found her boyfriend standing a couple of steps behind her... Spoiler: BGM "Xehanort, you came," Sunset Shimmer said, both happy and anxious by Xehanort's appearance. "I made you a promise, didn't I?" Xehanort replied. Smiling, Sunset nodded in agreement with Xehanort. Noticing Luigi and Rosalina nearby, Xehanort said, "Let us go somewhere less... crowded." Realizing Xehanort needed this to be a private discussion, Sunset replied, "I agree. Any place you had in mind?" "I know of a place," Xehanort said as headed back inside the building, "Follow me." Taking a deep breath, Sunset Shimmer followed Xehanort, wondering whether it was a good idea or not to have a private discussion with a Crystal Order member. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "Very well," Yen Sid replied to Elsa after she said she didn't know where she was, "I'm sure we'll eventually find you, but...

Prime Minister Harriet Jones. Harold Saxon. Pretty much the entire Japanese parliament. And your sister. Especially your sister. They're all worried sick, hoping you'd return safely." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Mudka's Meat Hut~ As Pacha continued eating his lunch, Yzma and Kronk entered the restaurant, taking a seat behind Pacha's table... "We've been going around in circles for who knows how long," Yzma complained, "That is the last time we take directions from Pokemon. I should have done away with Kuzco myself when I had the chance." Upon hearing what Yzma just said about Kuzco, Pacha choked on his food, coughing hard as he quickly drank water, and began to sweat nervously, realizing Yzma wanted to kill Kuzco, and wondering if she had anything to do with the fact that he was a llama. "Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that." Kronk replied to Yzma. Ignoring what Kronk just said, Yzma angrily bent a fork with her thumb and threw it away. "Uh-oh. I'll get you another one there, Yzma," Kronk told Yzma, wanting to get her another fork. Turning around to face Pacha, Kronk asked, "You using that fork, pal?" Pacha quickly handed his fork to Kronk, not wanting him to see his face. "Hey, don't I know you?" Kronk asked Pacha, who kept trying to not look at Kronk face-to-face. "I don't think so," Pacha replied. "Wrestled you in high school?" Kronk asked. "Don't remember that," Pacha replied. "No? Metal shop?" Kronk asked once more. "Uh, no..." Pacha responded. "Oh, I got it. Miss Narca's interpretive dance... two semesters," Kronk said, "I was usually in the back because of my weak ankles. Come on, pal. You gotta help me out here." "Uh, no, look, I-I don't think we've ever met, but, look, I gotta go," Pacha nervously replied as he got up and headed towards the kitchen, wanting to find Kuzco and get out before Yzma finds out the llama is in the building. "Don't worry. I'll think of it," Kronk told Pacha as he left. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Huh, what are you doing here?" Goldar asked Astral-S, surprised by its appearance out of nowhere. "Well, this certainly is a surprise," Thrax said as he noticed Astral-S, "I must say, it's always a pleasure to meet an S-type like yourself. I've heard so many stories of your kind, how you all fought for Queen Beryl's empire under Thanos, and conquered many different planets. My personal favorite story is how your kind helped Thanos wipe out Zordon's planet, Azarath. Oh, how I wished I could've witnessed that event myself, enjoying the sight of the Harbinger watching as his own people were slaughtered. But anyway, I agree. Perhaps for now, it is best to hold back for a while, and to take care of those spandex freaks one by one." Taking out a small device, Thrax continued, "This is a device I found while exploring the ruins of Azarath. It can locate any user of Azarathian technology on Earth. In other words, it can locate any of those spandex-wearing nuisances, or at least, the device that allows them to transform. I'm thinking of going down to Earth myself, and taking care of a single one of those freaks. But unlike what happened with Goldar when he tried to get rid of the Yellow Power Ranger, I'll use this device to make sure no other Azarathian device is within a certain proximity. That way, I know I won't be interrupted." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Channel 4 News~ "And now, here's Champ Kind with the latest in sports," news anchor Ron Burgundy said after presenting the audience with a few news stories happening around Tokyo. The screen then switched over to Channel 4 sports anchor, Champ Kind... "Live in Tokyo University in less than an hour, it's Diantha! Yup, the Kalos Pokemon League Champion, successful movie actress, and major hottie, herself is gonna challenge a local citizen to a one-on-one Pokemon match. What Pokemon will Diantha use?! Who will emerge victorious?! Find out right here on Channel 4 after the news. Now here's Brick with the weather," Channel 4 sports anchor Champ Kind said as coverage moved to the weather. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ "Kengo, huh... well don't you even try anything funny with my daughter, I've got my eyes on you," Kenji warned Kengo. "Oh, there you are Luna," Ikuko told the family cat, "I don't think you've met Rini yet. She's going to be the newest member of this family. Kenji and I are adopting her. Poor girl doesn't even have parents to take care of her. And look, her flying toy looks just like you! What are the odds?" Meanwhile, Rini was annoyed that Serena didn't even reply to her greeting. 'Wow, Sammy was right, she is a total airhead,' Rini thought to herself, 'Well, three out of four's not bad, I guess.' ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ "Excellent," Zordon commented after Ron agreed to be a Rider, "Welcome to the team, Ronald Weasley. From now on, this will be your home, as it is for all your comrades that fight for good." "Congrats, Ron!" Hiccup congratulated Ron, "But... I'm still confused about what happened earlier. Who was that wizard who looked EXACTLY like Harry? And, what was the deal with that blonde fortune-cookie lady?" "A relative of yours, Harry?" Alpha 5 asked Harry, inquiring about the wizard who helped save the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Building~ "I see where you're coming from, Jumpman, I really do," Romulus replied, "You don't want to live in a world that is boring... one where someone like you can't help out... where you can't be a hero. But is it really worth it? For the lives of so many who have suffered. The world is a big place, Jumpman. More than 7 billion individuals live on Earth. You can't be a hero for all of them. Would you rather have more death and suffering continue while you help out a small percentage of them? Or would you rather have everyone living in a safe and secure society, where you don't have to worry about anyone in the entire globe? If you want to be a hero, Jumpman, mustn't you put the concerns of others as your top priority, and always go for the choice that is best for all?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 35: Flashback 8 Years Ago (October 7, 2005) / Outside Japanese Military Base on the Outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq~ It has been about a minute since sunset, and the mosques in the area were echoing the call to prayer (known as an adhan), indicating to those fasting for Ramadan that they could now break their fast, as well as pray. Expecting Muqtada al-Sadr and his men to arrive in a few minutes after they had a chance to eat and drink something (as well as pray), Shay, Romulus, Jadeite, and Haytham had been hiding somewhere outside the last remaining Japanese military base in Iraq, waiting for Muqtada. "So, that's the same base you were stationed in when you first came to Iraq?" Romulus asked Shay, "Must bring back memories, doesn't it?" "I guess you can say that," Shay replied as he and the others noticed continuous movement of Japanese helicopters to and from the base, "That's new... what's with all this activity?" "They realize that they're losing," Jadeite answered Shay, "Military's been trying to send away important documents and objects away from the base in case it falls into enemy hands." "Hmph, let them do whatever precautions they wish to do. None of that will change the outcome of tonight," Haytham commented, "I suppose you're ready, Cormac?" "Always am, Master Kenway," Shay replied, determined to finally win the Iraq War for the Crystal Order tonight. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Amethyst Arcade Dimension~ As Star Butterfly walked through the Amethyst Arcade, humming while she looked for another video game to try out, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Star Butterfly! We meet again..." the voice said. Turning around, the princess found her family's arch nemesis, Ludo, and his henchmen, looking at her with threatening looks.... "Ludo?! How did you get here?!" Star Butterfly asked, surprised by Ludo's appearance. "Well, Palkia didn't leave the path between here and Mewni open if that's what you were thinking," Ludo replied. "But, I eventually found a way to hop between dimensions just like you do. Take a look at my new Dimension Key!" Ludo continued as he took out the Game Boy. Gasping, Star was shocked to see the Amethyst Arcade's Dimension Key in the hands of her arch nemesis. "THE GAME BOY!!" Star Butterfly cried, "So it was you! You're the one who stole it!" "Oh I wouldn't say 'steal'. 'Steal' is such a strong word. I prefer to say... 'borrow'," Ludo replied. "Borrow, huh? And when were you planning to return the Game Boy, Ludo?" Star sternly asked Ludo. "Oh, that's easy. Right after you convince your family to give up the Royal Magic Wand to me," Ludo answered. "Oh please, we'll never give up the wand to someone like you, Ludo," Star Butterfly scoffed at Ludo. "Eh, at least it was worth a try," Ludo said as he shrugged. Facing his henchmen, Ludo yelled, "Get her!" Ludo's minions did as Ludo instructed, running towards Star Butterfly, who in turn started running away from them, leading to a chase in the Amethyst Arcade... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ "Oh don't worry about your parents, Monsieur, they're probably just busy grocery shopping," Siebold told Mario after being told that Mario's parents went missing, patting him on his back. Once Mario finished with his ratatouille, Siebold, Chef Ramsay, and the Swedish Chef each tried a sample of Mario's ratatouille, with all three seeming to enjoy it. "Mmm... très bien, Monsieur," Siebold said. "Yeeh. Tvu thoombs up!" the Swedish Chef added. "I agree," Gordon Ramsay concurred, "Tasty, fresh, and just really damn good. Nice work. Now start on the quiche while we check how the others did with their ratatouille." --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University - Pokemon Battling Field~ As Misty, Clemont, and Brock walked over to the field, Misty asked Clemont, "So you're a former gym leader too, huh? Where exactly?" "Lumiose City, in the Kalos region of France," Clemont answered. "Wow, Lumiose City! I've always wanted to go there," Misty said, "I have a professor who spent some time in France. He said it's a great place to live." "It sure is, Misty," Clemont replied as he smiled, feeling a bit homesick as he started thinking about his hometown, Lumiose City. Once Misty and Clemont took their positions, Brock stood between them, saying, "Okay guys, this is gonna be a one-on-one Pokemon match. Play nice, and may the best trainer win." Both Misty and Clemont nodded in reply, ready to start the match. "Alright... begin!" Brock announced, starting the match... Spoiler: BGM ~BATTLE OF THE FORMER GYM LEADERS~ Taking out a Pokeball, Misty threw it into the air, yelling, "Staryu, I choose you!" Out from the Pokeball came Misty's Staryu, ready to battle... "HYAHH!!" Staryu cried as it landed on the battling field. Taking out a Pokeball of his, Clemont threw it into the air, yelling, "Bunnelby, come out!" Out of the Pokeball came Clemont's Bunnelby... "Bunnelby!" Bunnelby cried as it landed on the field. "Tell me Clemont, what types of Pokemon were your specialty?" Misty asked. "Electric," Clemont replied, "You're probably thinking why I didn't use an electric-type to easily beat your Staryu. Thing is, after I retired as a gym leader, I wanted to branch out to other types of Pokemon. Of course, the electric-types have a special place in my heart, but the other types are also awesome on their own. And besides, I do like a challenge." "Hmm, I like your thinking," Misty said, "Alright Staryu, attack with your Swift attack!" "HYAH!" Staryu replied, sending star-shaped rays towards Bunnelby. "Bunnelby, Dig!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby. "Bunnelby!" Bunnelby replied as it dug underground, avoiding Staryu's Swift attack, surprising both Misty and Staryu. "Wow, nice strategy," Misty commented, "Okay Staryu, watch out for any surprise moves." Staryu nodded as it looked around to make sure Bunnelby doesn't surprise it from underneath. "That Clemont sure is good," Tracey commented as he began deawing a sketch of the battle. "TogiTogi," Togepi added. "Yes, but so is Misty," Sabrina replied, "She won't let a surprise attack take her down so easily." "Haunter..." Haunter added, continuing to watch the match. "Alright Bunnelby, use Double Team!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby. Noticing something coming out of the ground, Staryu got ready to take down its opponent. But out from underneath the ground came what appeared to be dozens and dozens of Bunnelbys as a result of the Double Team method that creates illusionary copies of the Pokemon. "Wow! Now that's clever," Gary said. As the many different Bunnelbys appeared and confused Staryu, Misty said, "Not bad, not bad at all Clemont. But all the fakes and the real Bunnelby are still no match for Staryu. Use your Rapid Spin attack Staryu!" "HYAHH!" Staryu replied, rapidly spinning, and attacking the fake Bunnelbys, making them vanish. Eventually, Staryu hit the real Bunnelby, sending it flying back. But Bunnelby managed balance itself and land safely back on the field. "Bunnelby, you okay?" Clemont asked. Bunnelby nodded in reply, indicating it can still battle. "That's good... alright, attack with your Double Slap attack!" Clemont said. "Bunnel...BY!" Bunnelby cried as it rushed towards Staryu, and began slapping it with its ears. "I gotta say, I was really surprised by Bunnelby's Double Team move, creating all those fakes," Dick commented. "Yeah, but guess Misty and her Staryu were too smart for that," Connor replied. "True, but Clemont and his Bunnelby aren't too shabby either," Katniss commented. "Pika..." Haymitch replied as he nodded, agreeing with Katniss. After taking the brunt of Bunnelby's Double Slap attack, Staryu backed away, but was not ready to go down yet. "Don't worry Staryu, we got this!" Misty reassured Staryu, "Use your Water Gun attack!" "HYAH!" Staryu replied, shooting water towards Bunnelby. "Dodge it, Bunnelby!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby, who did as Clemont instructed it to, jumping right and left to avoid getting hit by Staryu's Water gun attack. "Good job, Bunnelby! Now keep dodging and try to rush towards Staryu. Then finish it with your Double Slap attack!" Clemont ordered Bunnelby once more. "BUNNELBY!" Bunnelby replied as it continued dodging Staryu's Water Gun attack while running towards its opponent. Meanwhile, close to the Pokemon battling field... Professor Sycamore was taking a stroll through the campus with his Fennekin and Espurr, with the three of them enjoying the fresh air. Upon noticing a Pokemon battle nearby, Sycamore saw that Misty was taking part in the battle. Having sent her an e-mail earlier in the day regarding an internship she was interested in, Sycamore figured he'd just give her the good news in person. "Hey girls, look over there. It's Misty," Sycamore told Fennekin and Espurr, "How 'bout we give her the good news ourselves?" "Panyapanya!" Espurr happily replied, agreeing with Sycamore. "Fokka!" Fennekin added, nodding her head in agreement. "I guess that's a unanimous 'yes'. Alright, let's go surprise her," Sycamore said as he, Fennekin, and Espurr walked towards the Pokemon battling field.
Danny Elfman should seriously compose for Avengers Infinity War (or bring back Alan Silvestri, both are good).
New Avengers - Avengers: Age of Ultron OST So glad the original movie's theme is still there.
Show's been renewed for a second season, scheduled for next year. And I also happened to watch all Season 1 episodes recently, and since it'll take a long time to give thoughts on each episode, I'll just give a general thought on the whole thing: It was very different then what has been seen in the MCU so far (more blood and bones breaking), but I thought the show was pretty superb, leaving me wanting more of it (which thankfully is happening).

~The Amethyst Arcade Dimension~ "Woohoo! I win!" Star Butterfly happily cheered as she won a game of Lance Lance Revolution against one of the squares who roam the dimension she was in. "Nice game, Star," the square that lost to her replied, "To be honest, it's actually refreshing to lose once in a while. The Amethyst Arcade hasn't had much visitors ever since its Dimension Key was stolen some time ago, meaning no new challengers." "WHAT??!!" a shocked Star Butterfly yelled, "You mean the Game Boy's been stolen?!" "Yeah," the square replied, "No one knows who did it. So all us squares are stuck here." "Aww..." Star said, feeling bad for the squares, "You know, I can help some of you guys leave using Mewni's Dimensional Key." "Nah, it's alright," the square replied, "We really don't mind it much. I mean, we've got an unlimited food supply, and video games all over. The only thing missing are new players like yourself." "Oh... well I'll be sure to tell all my friends to check this place out every now and then," Star Butterfly told the square. "Thanks. That should make things here more interesting," the square replied. Meanwhile, hiding behind one of the video games was a shady frog who was spying on Princess Star Butterfly. Grinning, the frog took out the Game Boy, the Amethyst Arcade's Dimension Key, from his pocket, and pointed it towards the empty space in front of him, summoning a portal. Putting the Game Boy back into his pocket, the frog jumped into the portal, which disappeared just as he entered. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~The Dimension of Mewni - Ludo's Hideout~ Inside a dark castle was Ludo, who sitting on his throne with two guards standing by his side. Ludo was enjoying a tasty strawberry ice-cream, hoping one of his minions returns soon with news on Princess Star Butterfly's location. Just then, a portal appeared in the throne room, with the shady frog who had been spying on Star Butterfly earlier entering from the portal. Once the portal disappeared, the frog said, "Ludo, Master... I've tracked down Star Butterfly. She's playing video games in the Amethyst Arcade Dimension." "Hah! Excellent work!" Ludo replied as he threw his ice-cream away, "I knew stealing the Game Boy was the best idea I ever had. Now we can use it to go wherever that blonde brat goes, and get rid of her before her 14th birthday this Friday! That way, stealing her family's wand will be much easier! Mwahahahah!" As Ludo laughed maniacally, his minions decided to laugh along as well. But once Ludo stopped laughing, he yelled, "SILENCE! When I stop, you stop! Got it?" "Yes, boss," Ludo's minions replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "Rest assured my dear, what you're hearing is no illusion," Yen Sid replied to Elsa, "My name is Yen Sid. I am a wizard, using my magic to try and contact you." Looking up at the vision of Queen Elsa, Officer Jenny said, "Hello... Queen Elsa? My name's Jenny. You don't know me, but I have been trying to look for you since Friday." "Jenny and myself are trying to help you, your highness," Yen Sid added, "And it would bring us great joy if you let us help." ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital~ "Indeed," Doctor Hu replied as he checked on Hermione's condition. "Well, good news," Doctor Hu commented, "Hermione is recovering at a fantastic pace. At this rate, I'd say she'll be ready to leave the hospital by tomorrow morning. Only downside I can think of is that idiot who did this to her is still out there." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 34: Flashback 8 Years Ago (October 7, 2005) / Muqtada al-Sadr's Heavily Fortified Compound, Najaf, Iraq~ The Muslim holy month of Ramadan had just started two days ago. Muslims around the world celebrated the month by fasting every day of it, refraining from food and drink from sunrise to sunset, as well as praying more. The people of Iraq did just that, posting flyers all around, wishing people a happy Ramadan. Heading to see Muqtada al-Sadr during this festive time for the people of Iraq, Shay Cormac and Haytham Kenway had some very important information to give to al-Sadr. The past months have been hard but very successful times for the Crystal Order, taking control of many Japanese military bases. Upon entering Muqtada al-Sadr's room, Shay and Haytham found Muqtada in his seat, reading the Quran silently... Upon noticing Shay and Haytham, Muqtada stopped reading, and placed the book on a table next to him as he got up from his seat. "Cormac, Kenway... I certainly didn't expect the two of you at this time," Muqtada said as he smiled and shook hands with Haytham. "Ramadan Mubarak," Shay greeted Muqtada as he shook hands with him, wishing him a happy Ramadan. "Ramadan Mubarak to you as well, my friend," Muqtada al-Sadr replied, "So, I suppose you have some news to give me?" Nodding, Haytham said, "As of last night, only one Japanese military base remains. It's located in the outskirts of Baghdad. If we attack today, we may finally be able to end the war once and for all." Smiling, Muqtada al-Sadr replied, "Then it seems the day I've been waiting for is finally near. It would be my pleasure to help end this evil occupation once and for all. My men will assist after we pray at sunset." "Thank you, Muqtada. We'll see you tonight," Shay thanked al-Sadr as he and Haytham exited the room, ready for the final battle for Iraq. --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ "Shhhhh..." the Swedish Chef told Max (while placing his fingers on his lips) after Max yelled to the student next to him to use the measurements. While Gordon Ramsay watched other students, Siebold noticed Mario looking depressed, and remembered he was the student who mentioned he didn't know anything about French food. "Monsieur, do not worry, there is no shame in not knowing a certain style of cuisine. If you want, I can help," Siebold told Mario, "Just do your best with following the recipes, and I'll make sure to warn you if you're about to do a mistake." ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Back of Bar~ After going through the brawl earlier, Inspector Lee rushed to the back of the bar to find Carter. Once he entered a room in the back, Lee found Carter and Jazz along with a couple of guys... "Carter," Lee called out to Carter upon noticing him. Realizing Lee was in the room, Carter went back to "bad cop" mode, pretending to threaten Jazz as he grabbed his shirt, making it look like he was being tough on him while he interrogated him. "Where Shan-Yu at?" Carter asked Jazz. "Who?" Jazz replied. "Who?! You know who I'm talking about," Carter continued. "Man, you better take your damn hands off my shirt. Your mama bought me this shirt for my birthday," Jazz replied, "This is my favorite shirt. Now let me go." "I'ma see you at Christmas, aight? Appreciate it," Carter whispered to Jazz as he let go of his shirt and backed away. As the bartender who fought with Lee earlier entered the room, Carter took his gun out and pointed it at him, yelling, "Get your big Happy-Meal ass over... get over in the corner!" Pushing the bartender to the corner, Carter faced Jazz and the others, yelling, "I'm still the law around here! Next time I come here, y'all better clean this up! And brush your teeth!" Exiting the room, Carter told Lee, "Let's go." Although not sure what just happened, Inspector Lee decided to follow Carter outside, wondering if he did find any information on Shan-Yu. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo Streets~ After saving them from Bujin Gaim's attack, Riku took Emma and Mimi for a ride on his motorcycle, wanting to get them back home safely. "So dodging the police AND a rogue rider? Man, must've been a busy day for you," Riku told Emma as he drove his motorcycle. "Well, Mimi and myself are used to running away from the cops," Emma replied, "But as for Mr. Spandex... yeah, that was definitely a first." "Nyapah," Mimi added, agreeing with Emma. "Heh, always looking for danger, huh?" Riku asked. "Yeah," Emma replied, "Just another day in the life of a street rat." "Street rat? Is that what the cops keep calling you?" Riku asked. Noticing Emma and Mimi nodding in reply, Riku commented, "Hmm, I see..." Upon reaching a building that is half-constructed, Emma points at it and tells Riku, "There. That's my place." "That?" Riku asked as he parked his motorcycle, surprised that Emma lived in a building not fit for anyone to live in. "Yeah, I know it's not much," Emma replied as she stepped out of the motorcycle with Mimi sitting on her shoulder, "But no one even bothers with it. Construction stopped some years ago because of some contract dispute... I think. All that matters is that it's a place Mimi and I can call home, right Mimi?" "Nyapah!" Mimi happily said, agreeing with Emma. "Well anyway, thank you for everything, umm..." Emma thanked Riku before realizing she didn't even know his name. "Riku," Riku said, finishing Emma's sentence. Blushing, Emma replied, "Riku, huh... nice name. The name's Emma by the way." "Nice to have met you, Emma," Riku said as he got ready to drive away with his motorcycle, "Oh, and Emma... one more thing. Those cops were wrong. You're not a street rat. You're much more than that." After hearing what Riku just told her, Emma was surprised, but happy. No one had ever been this nice to her before. Smiling, Emma replied, "Thank you Riku." Smiling back at her, Riku said, "Catch ya later." Watching as Riku drove off, Emma and Mimi waved goodbye to him. Sighing, Emma and Mimi then turned around to face the half-constructed building, and walked towards it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ Before Ikuko was about to call Serena, her daughter appeared with Kengo and Chibi Chibi. "Serena!" Ikuko sternly said to her daughter. "Ooooh, someone's in trouble..." Sammy commented. "Do you have any idea how worried we were about you, young lady!" Ikuko told Serena, "You know the rules... always leave us a message if you know you're going to be late." "Now now honey, I'm sure Serena had a good reason for being late," Kenji told Ikuko, trying to calm her down before shifting his focus back to his daughter, "But... I had no idea you had a boy as a friend." Looking at Kengo, Kenji said, "Young man, I hope this is nothing more than a simple friendship with Serena. Otherwise, you and I are gonna have a little man-to-man talk..." Sighing, Ikuko added, "And here we were, excited to surprise you with an announcement." Getting up from her seat, Rini (with Luna-P flying around her) walked towards Ikuko, and stood next to her as she faced Serena. "Hiya," Rini greeted Serena. "Serena, meet Rini, our new sister," Sammy said, "Mom and Dad are adopting her." ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat Hut~ "Hot and crispy Cecinas for the happy couple," the waitress said as she brought Kuzco's and Pacha's orders. As she left, Pacha began eating, enjoying his beef. As for Kuzco, he tried a bite, but was disgusted by it, feeling it was to dry and salty. Getting up from his seat, Kuzco wanted to have a word with the chef about his cooking. "Where are you going?" Pacha asked Kuzco. "I'm just gonna slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef," Kuzco replied. "You're gonna get us thrown out," Pacha said. "Hmm... hey Pacha, mind if I borrow your poncho and that hat thing?" Kuzco asked Pacha. Confused as to why Kuzco would make such a request, Pacha nevertheless did as Kuzco instructed. Putting on the pieces of clothing he was given, Kuzco then grabbed a nearby ketchup bottle, squeezing out some ketchup and putting them on his lips, making it look like he was a woman. "There... now who can reject a pretty little lady like me?" Kuzco commented as he walked towards the kitchen, with Pacha rolling his eyes, thinking that Kuzco's plan was going to fail. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Moon Palace~ "Well, that was worse than when that guy with blue hair interfered with my fight against the Black Ranger," Goldar commented after noticing what Harold did. "Hmm..." Thrax said, pondering what to do now that Ron was freed from his mother's control, "Maybe... we're doing this wrong. I think a change in approach would be best." -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Abandoned Building~ "Hey hey, calm down guys," Romulus told the others, trying to calm them down, "We're all friends here. Yes, we may have disagreements with each other, I won't deny it... but I'm sure we can all have a better understanding of each other if we just have a nice quiet discussion with one another." Shifting his focus back to Jumpman, Romulus said, "I was an air force pilot, Jumpman. I've taken part in many missions during the 90s that involved bombing S-type and Crystal Order targets around the world. And I truly believed that I was fighting the good fight back then. But then... Yugoslavia happened. You see, I took part in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in '99. Felt like any other mission I took part in. We were the good guys, and our enemies were the bad guys... as simple as that. But one day, there was this air base with enemy fighter jets that were about to bomb a nearby village full of innocent people. I wanted to bomb that air base before they could get the chance to wipe that village out, but my commanding officer didn't give me permission. But I knew at that moment, the right thing had to be done. I knew I had to save those people in the village. So, I went against the orders of my commanding officer, bombed the enemy air base, and saved the village. I thought I'd be recognized as a hero, a savior to those people. But do you know what I got instead? I was dishonorably discharged. Not allowed to serve my country of Japan anymore... all because I saved some people. It was that moment that I realized... I was fighting for the wrong side. I started to see the world in a much different view. The governments and corporations of the world... are evil. Only thinking about themselves, not caring about the suffering and corruption that happens around them. That... was when my master found me, and allowed me to enter his organization... an organization that fights alongside the S-types to achieve a perfect world, a utopia, where no one has to suffer, and everyone is considered equal. Jumpman, I know the two of us may not agree on many things, but can you honestly look out the window, and tell me that our world is a perfect and happy place just as we thought when we were children?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Streets (Again)~ Before Hiccup could hit Bujin Gaim with his Banana Au Lait attack... Harold appeared and took care of Ron himself, confusing Hiccup. "H-Harry...?" Hiccup thought out loud, thinking that Harold was Harry. Once Harold was done and disappeared, Hiccup said, "Well, so much for us being the heroes." 'At least Ron seems to be okay now,' Hiccup thought to himself as he noticed him detransform. When the Woman of he Beginning told Hiccup to keep the dragon flame in his heart burning, Hiccup replied, "Uhh, okay... thanks for the fortune cookie advice... whoever you are." Hiccup then teleported along with the others to the Command Center... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Command Center~ "Well... I didn't expect a random citizen to just appear and save the day, but I'm not complaining," Alpha 5 commented, "By the way, was it me, or did that guy look just like Harry?" Just then, the others teleported into the Command Center, including Mew... Arriving at the Command Center de-transformed, Hiccup noticed as Ron woke up, but not sure if he can be trusted after what just happened. "Ronald Weasly... it appears you were under the control of the evil Rita Repulsa," Zordon told Ron. "Rita Repulsa? Who's that, Zordon?" Hiccup asked Zordon. "An old enemy of mine," Zordon replied, "An enemy who, along with her husband, Lord Zedd, intends to have revenge against me for defeating her a long time ago." "So, when we were fighting Ron... that really wasn't him at all... just Rita controlling him," Hiccup commented. "Correct," Zordon replied, "And now that he's free from her control, the choice to remain a Rider must be Ronald's choice alone." ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~A.I.M. Building: Rooftop~ Spoiler: BGM As Luna, Loki, Vanellope, and Xion were eating sea-salt ice-cream at the roof of the A.I.M. building, Xion said, "I hope Thor's gonna be okay. I'm really worried about him." "Strange... he was perfectly fine in the morning. But after second period.... something happened," Luna added. "Any idea, Loki?" Vanellope asked Thor's brother. Loki shook his head in reply, and said, "No. This is honestly the first time I saw him like this. Whatever happened to him was no regular sickness. I've seen my brother under the weather many times. But this felt... different." Sighing, Loki continued, "I hope it's nothing serious." "Good afternoon, slackers," a very familiar voice said behind the four friends. Turning around, the group found Thor standing right behind them, looking better than ever, while carrying around his hammer, and sea-salt ice-cream... "THOR!" Luna, Loki, Vanellope, and Xion happily cried out. Smiling, Thor commented, "Good to know you guys were thinking about me." "So Thor... are you okay?" Xion asked. "No Xion, I'm not okay... I'm BETTER than okay!" Thor replied. "Heh, well it's good to see you better, Thor," Luna said. "Thank you, Luna," Thor replied, "But... there is something I want to show you guys." Looking at each other, Luna, Loki, Vanellope, and Xion wondered what Thor wanted to show them. Taking a deep breath, Thor began to ascend from the rooftop slowly, much to the surprise of the others, who didn't even know Thor had the ability to fly. Flying above them, Thor threw his hammer straight towards the ground below, only for the hammer to stop, and fly around the A.I.M. building before returning back to Thor's hand. Once Thor's hammer returned to him, Thor pointed it towards the sky above him, where a storm-like cloud appeared and sent a lightning strike towards Thor's hammer. "THOR!" the others cried, worried he was going to get hurt. But as the lighting strikes continued to hit his hammer, Thor looked at the others, and smiled, showing that he was fine. As Thor lowered his arm, the lightning strikes stopped, and the storm-cloud above him disappeared. Flying back to the group and landing in the A.I.M. rooftop, Vanellope asked Thor, "T-Thor... are you a Conduit?" Shrugging, Thor replied, "I guess so... could explain these powers that I suddenly have after I started feeling better." "That's... AWESOME!!!" Vanellope happily cried. "Thor, how did this happen?" Loki asked his brother. "I honestly don't know. One minute I find myself working on my car, next thing I know... I'm flying around and able to control Mjölnir while summoning lightning with it," Thor replied. "Myuh Myuh? What's that?" Vanellope asked, mispronouncing the name 'Mjölnir.' "My hammer," Thor answered, "It's what I call it." "So, Thor... do you feel any different now that you have powers?" Xion asked. "Actually, not really," Thor replied, "But now, it seems there's another part of me I never knew existed." "Do our parents know?" Loki asked. Shakig his head, Thor replied, "No... but I should let them know." Loki nodded his head in agreement with Thor's reply, and said, "I'm really happy for you, brother." "Thank you, Loki," Thor replied, smiling at his brother. "So, even with your new powers, think you can still sit with us, eating ice-cream while we wait for the sunset?" Luna asked. "Heh, you know the answer to that, Luna," Thor replied as he sat down with the group, and ate sea-salt ice-cream with them as they watched the sun, waiting for it to set. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University~ "Over there is the Tokyo University Library," Misty said to the group of Nintendo High School seniors, continuing with the tour as she was taking them to her favorite spot in the campus. The group then passed by Marius, who was with a group of other students, holding "Vote for Saxon" banners... "Hello Misty," Marius greeted Misty, "If you're looking for Brock, I'm not sure where he is." "It's fine, Marius," Misty replied, "I'm actually giving these high school students a tour of the campus." "Oh, well do carry on," Marius said as he waved hello to the Nintendo High School seniors. As Misty continued with her tour, she pointed towards a building to the right, saying, "That over there is the Health building, where courses involving the medical field are offered. The building also has a clinic and pharmacy available for students. And up ahead is the Math and Sciences building, which I can almost guarantee all students will get to visit during their first year due to required Math classes for any student, regardless of major." After walking for a while, the group reached a field usually used for Pokemon battles, with some of Misty's friends sitting in the bleachers nearby... Gary Oak was busy doing his homework, Tracey was drawing sketches, Sabrina was reading a book with her Haunter, and Brock was texting someone, which Misty thinks is some girl he randomly met somewhere. "And this here is my favorite spot in the campus... the Pokemon Battling Field," Misty told the group as they walked towards the bleachers, "Although I'm no longer a gym leader, I do like coming here very now and then, and challenging someone to a Pokemon match just for some nostalgia." Once the group reached the bleachers, Misty called out to her friends, saying, "Hey guys!" "Hey Misty!" her friends responded together. "Sabrina said you were giving some high school students a tour of the campus," Tracey said, "I take it that's them?" "Yup, that's them," Misty replied. "TogiTogi," Togepi added. "So, how do you guys like TU so far?" Sabrina asked. "Definitely interesting," Dick Grayson replied. "Yeah, I definitely like what I'm seeing so far," Connor added. "Agreed," Katniss concurred with Connor. "Pikachu!" Haymitch happily added. "Nice to hear you guys have a good first impression of our school," Gary said, "So Misty, don't suppose you'll be challenging one of them to a Pokemon match, will ya?" "Huh? Oh no, I'm just giving them a tour Gary," Misty replied, "It would be rude for a tour guide like myself to surprise one of them to a Pokemon match. I mean, if one of them wants to, then sure, I'm game. But I do-" "Umm, excuse me, but if it's alright, I'd like to have a Pokemon match with you, Misty," Clemont interrupted Misty, surprising her, "The name's Clemont, and we both have something in common. You and I are both former gym leaders, and we both do like a Pokemon challenge every now and them." "Well Clemont, challenge accepted," Misty replied as she extended her hand to Clemont, who shook her hand, both agreeing to a Pokemon match. "I can referee if you want," Brock said. "Sure thing, Brock," Misty replied, "Sabrina, mind looking after Togepi?" Sabrina nodded as Misty handed her Togepi. "TogiTogi," Togepi happily said as Misty and Brock led Clemont to the field. "HaunterHaunter," Haunter said, happily playing with Togepi. As Gary, Tracey, Sabrina, Haunter, and Togepi watched the Pokemon match about to begin, the Nintendo High School senior students had a seat in the bleachers, wanting to watch the match as well. "Huh, a Pokemon match... didn't expect this in our tour," Dick commented. "Me neither, but I'm not complaining," Connor replied. "Heh, I almost feel jealous of Clemont for challenging Misty," Katniss said, "Would've been nice to see Haymitch go up against her Pokemon." "Pikachu," Haymitch replied as he nodded, agreeing with Katniss.
