Well we had to sacrifice someone. How else did we get the blood to color iwantedtoexplode's username red?
~Bar~ While waiting for Carter to get some info, Inspector Lee had a seat next to the counter, and then the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Goofy's Home~ "Dad?" Max called out, not getting an answer from his father. Exiting his room, Max looked all over his home, but didn't find Goofy. "Guess he's not home," Max said to himself, "Well, time to start on my homework." Walking back to his room, Max sat on his desk and started his homework while listening to a Powerline song, excited to hear the Powerline/Daft Punk concert later tonight on Pandora. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital~ "Fantastic guess, Philip," Doctor Hu replied, "Yes, Yen Sid is the friend I mentioned who can use magic. I've known him ever since I went to Nintendo High School myself. Great man. Really good with magic. And not too shabby with the art of music. I have no doubt he'll help Officer Jenny get a lead on the ice queen's location." -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Mudka's Meat hut~ After being seated in the restaurant, Kuzco and Pacha were approached by a waitress to take their order. "Welcome to Mudka's Meat Hut...home of the mug of meat," the elderly waitress said, "What'll it be?" "Uhh, I think we'll go ahead with two specials," Pacha replied as he turned to face Kuzco in on the other side of the table, "Any objections?" Kuzco shook his head in reply, curious as to what the specials were. "So that's two specials," the waitress said as she wrote down Pacha's and Kuzco's orders. "And an onion log... to split," Kuzco said, with the waitress adding that to the order. Leaving Kuzco and Pacha, the waitress walked towards the kitchen, yelling to the chef, "Ordering! I need two heartburns and a deep-fried doorstop on table 12!" "Hmm, not a a bad restaurant," Pacha commented, "Okay, so I'll admit this was a good idea." "Heh, when will you learn that all my ideas are good ones?" Kuzco asked Pacha. "That's funny, because I thought that you trying to leave Porta Vista alone without a vehicle, being chased by Luxrays, and lying to me to take you back to Tokyo were all really bad ideas," Pacha replied. "Oh, yeah. Anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude," Kuzco said. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo District 12: Katniss's Home~ Entering Katniss's home using a spare key Katniss lent her earlier at school, Rue walked towards Katniss's room, and sat on a chair next to Katniss's desk. "Well, better get started," Rue said to herself as she took out her Accounting textbook and a notebook, starting with her Accounting homework while she waited for Katniss to get back from the tour of Tokyo University and help her with Biology. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Building Rooftop~ Still shocked by what happened to him earlier with the robber, Thor sat on the edge of a rooftop while holding on to his hammer, gazing at the buildings around him, trying to make sense of the earlier events. "Am I a... Conduit?" Thor wondered out loud as he stared at his hammer. Wanting to test out his new powers, Thor got up from the edge of the rooftop, and walked to a spot he felt comfortable to see what he can do. Making sure nothing was in front of him, Thor threw his hammer straight ahead, with the hammer flying across the edge of the rooftop. "No!" Thor cried, fearing the hammer was gonna fall to the ground and cause some damage, or worse, hurt someone. But much to Thor's relief, the hammer stopped in midair, floating as though someone was holding on to it. Still not sure how it was doing that, Thor held out his right hand, hoping he can summon the hammer back to him. The trick worked, with the hammer rushing back to Thor, who caught the hammer's hilt. "Ok... so I can do that..." Thor said to himself as he thought of another power to test out. Remembering the jolts of electricity, Thor tried pointing his hammer to the sky, hoping to summon electricity. Once he did that, storm-like clouds appeared in the sky above where Thor was standing. Lightning then began striking Thor's hammer. While Thor could feel the lightning strikes, they didn't even harm him. Rather, Thor felt as though the electricity going through his body was now part of him. Lowering his hammer down, Thor watched as the storm-like clouds vanished instantly. "So I've got a magic hammer... and can summon lightning," Thor said to himself, "What else am I missing?" Thor then remembered there was one more power he experienced... the ability to fly. Looking around to make sure nothing was above him, Thor took a deep breath, and got ready to jump, hoping he would then fly. "Here goes," Thor said to himself as he began to countdown, "3... 2... 1!" Spoiler: BGM Jumping high while having the thought of flying high in his mind, Thor took off from the rooftop, flying high towards a close building. "Aaaahhhh!!!!" Thor screamed as he was headed straight for the building. Tilting to his right, Thor avoided the building, still flying fast. "I'm... I'm FLYING!!" Thor joyously yelled, "Hahah... I CAN FLY!!" Flying between the buildings of Tokyo, Thor cannot believe that he was essentially a Conduit, and how easy it was to master flying. Wanting to have a little fun, Thor threw his hammer across as he flew, watching as the hammer circled around buildings before returning to him. Once his hammer returned to him, Thor flew straight up until he was at a higher elevation than all the buildings in Tokyo. "Wow..." Thor said to himself, admiring the sight below him. Pointing his hammer to the sky, storm-like clouds appeared in the sky once more, with lightning strikes hitting Thor's hammer. Waving his hammer around, Thor enjoyed summoning lightning strikes from different directions. "Heh, this is amazing," Thor said to himself, "The others won't ever believe this." Suddenly, Thor remembered that Loki and the others were having ice-cream. 'Better surprise them,' Thor thought to himself as he lowered his hammer (causing the storm-like clouds to disappear), and flew towards the A.I.M. tower. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "Wait, what just happened?" Alpha thought out loud after witnessing Mew distract Ron for a bit. "It appears that the creature knows Ron," Zordon commented, "James, if you wish to help, try to make sure Ron focuses on both Harry and the Pokemon. The sight of both of them together will surely remove whatever evil Rita and Zedd have infused in him." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets~ 'Wow he's tough,' Hiccup thought to himself as he noticed the banana projections not slowing Ron down much. "Oh no, HARRY!" Hiccup cried as he noticed Ron send a wave of energy towards Harry. Swinging his Banaspear Hiccup made a banana projection appear in front of Harry to protect him from the impact of the wave of energy. "That's it, looks like we have no choice but to take him down," Hiccup said as he rushed towards Ron, swinging his Banaspear towards Ron, hitting him with a Banana Au Lait attack. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ Rini, Ikuko, Kenji, and Sammy were all sitting at the dining table, waiting for Serena to come so they can all dine together. After a few minutes of silence and looking at the clock, Kenji commented, "Okay, she's late." Sighing, Ikuko replied, "I'll call her. Where could she be?" As Ikuko got up and from her chair and walked towards the phone to call Serena on her cell phone, Sammy whispered to Rini, "See? Total airhead. You can't expect her to be on time for anything." "Hmm..." Rini said, wondering if Sammy's sister, Serena, was really as bad as he described her. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Abandoned Building~ Opening the door and entering the room where Astral and Jumpman were, Romulus Thread looked at Jumpman and Fujiko, saying, "So... these are the Jumpman and Fujiko people that Astral's been talking a lot about." Slowly approaching the two captives and walking around them, inspecting them up close, Romulus commented, "To be honest, I don't exactly see what all the hype was about. Eh, whatever. If Astral thinks you guys can kick some serious ass, then who am I to judge?" Taking a seat on a nearby chair, Romulus stared at Jumpman and Fujiko silently for about a minute. "You know something, Jumpman... I know it's hard to tell, but we're a lot more closer than you think," Romulus said, "Because, there was a time when I was technically considered an enemy of Astral and the S-types as well. But then, something happened, and I realized I was fighting for the wrong side. No brainwashing, no hypnotizing, no... I realized my mistake on my own. You wanna know what happened?" ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 33: Flashback 8 Years Ago (April 11, 2005) / Crystal Order Hideout in Iraq~ Entering a room, Shay found Haytham Kenway standing in front of a table with a map of Iraq on it... "Master Kenway, you wished to see me?" Shay asked. "Yes... have a look at the map... specifically, the country's oil fields," Haytham replied. Taking a look at the map of Iraq as instructed, Cormac noticed that not a single oil field in the country was under Japanese control anymore. "All the oil fields are finally liberated from the Japanese?" Shay happily asked. "Indeed," Kenway replied, "I just got word from Muqtada al-Sadr that Baba Gurgur, the last remaining oil field controlled by the Japanese, has been captured earlier. The battle for the oil fields is over, Shay. And the S-type crystals in the oil is now ours." "That's great news," Shay said, "But the war is not over yet. Sure we've captured three bases from the Japanese military. But there's still many more left." "True, attempting to capture Japanese bases has proven much more difficult than capturing the oil fields," Haytham commented, "But now that the oil fields are all captured, we can focus all our effort on the bases. It won't be easy, but if can capture three of them, we surely can capture all of them." "Heh, look forward to continuing the fight," Shay said, "By the way, if it's alright... when they're down to their last base, could I be the one to lead the attack?" Grinning, Haytham nodded, and replied, "Request granted." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ Having brought something from the closet, Yen Sid walked over to his desk, and placed a human skull on it. "Is... that skull going to help?" Officer Jenny asked. Nodding, Yen Sid said, "Now, I cannot simply reveal Elsa's location with my magic. However, what I can do is allow us the ability to communicate with her. Ask her whatever you wish. However, whether Elsa wishes to reply to what any of us has to say is entirely her choice." "I see," Jenny replied, "Well at least it'll be something. Certainly better than not getting any leads on where she is." "Very well, Officer. I shall proceed with my attempt to contact the queen," Yen Sid said. Pointing his hands towards the skull, Yen Sid waved his arms as Officer Jenny watched. Suddenly, smoke began to rise from the skull, forming into a cloud with the shape of a bat. Continuing to wave his arms, Yen Sid watched as the bat-shaped smoke cloud above him and Jenny transformed into the shape of a butterfly. Soon, the butterfly-shaped smoke cloud then changed shape to reveal a vision of Queen Elsa in an unknown location. "It's her... it's Queen Elsa! You did it, Yen Sid!" Officer Jenny happily said. "Queen Elsa... can you hear me?" Yen Sid called out to Elsa, hoping she would reply. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Inside the Bus~ "Pyrrha Alexandra... from Greece," General Shining Armor said as he, Skye, May, Fitz, and Simmons looked at the screen on the wall, where an image of her along with her death certificate and footage of Pyrrha attacking bystanders in Greece was shown, "Legally speaking, she's dead. But in reality, it may appear otherwise. Fitz, Simmons, mind showing us what you guys found." "Yes," Fitz replied, "I was able to track this footage from local security cameras in Greece. But, once you zoom in and enhance the image, you notice something very interesting about this Pyrrha girl." Pointing towards the enlarged image of Pyrrha in the footage, Jemma adds, "Notice the diamond-shaped object in her lower body. General, I know an S-type crystal when I see one, and this here is definitely one." "Wait, I'm confused... S-type crystal?" Skye asked, confused about what Simmons meant by an S-type crystal. "I'll explain later, Skye," Shining Armor replied, "But I can assure you that what you saw in that footage wasn't your friend doing it. She was controlled. And we have to make sure that crystal isn't still in her. If it is, she could possibly be controlled into doing what she did in Greece all over again." "Okay, I'll try calling her and ask to meet somewhere," Skye said. "Good. Agent May will escort you to a safe spot in Tokyo," General Shining Armor replied. Both Skye and May nodded as they headed towards the exit. "And on your way out, wake up Alan," Shining Armor instructed May, who nodded once more as she left. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Cooking Club Meeting~ "Ah, don't worry young man," Siebold replied to Mario after he said all he knew about French food was croissants, "I don't expect any of you to be experts. My role here is to teach you in the art of my country's cuisine. And as long as you can cook different kinds of food, I know you can cook French cuisine as well." Once Mario asked to speak on the phone with family, Gordon Ramsay replied, "Two minutes only." Once Mario was outside, Gordon Ramsay began speaking to the Cooking Club, "Right... there are three things we'll be making today. First off, ratatouille, a personal favorite of mine. Next, we'll be moving on to quiche au fromage. Finally, you'll all be making crêpe for dessert. What kind... that'll be up to you. The Swedish Chef will be passing around recipes for each of you to use. And remember to do your best, and please, don't f*** up and make a mockery of French cuisine in front of one of the best chefs from France." "And... begin!" Siebold announced, signalling the Cooking Club members to get ready to cook. The Swedish Chef then began passing around recipes. While he placed a recipe next to Mario, he overheard what he said about his parents. Gasping, the Swedish Chef felt bad for Mario, hoping there was a way he could help him. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Tokyo University: Bus Parking~ Spoiler: BGM "Tokyo University, formerly known as Japan Tech when it first opened in 1963, is the largest university in not only Japan, but all of Asia, with attendance increasing in every year," Misty spoke through her megaphone while leading the group of Nintendo High School seniors on a tour of the campus, "Over there is the biology building, which is where I spend most of my time, being a Marine Biology major. Inside the Biology building is the largest indoor aquarium in Japan, containing many different kinds of underwater creatures. And right next to the Biology building over there are the fraternities and sororities. Individual popularity of each varies year by year, but recently, the Oozma Kappa fraternity has been quite popular around the campus." As the group walked past the fraternity and sorority houses, they noticed a table set up by the Oozma Kappa house, with a student handing out flyers for new members to join... "Be sure to check out our website," Squishy, the head of the Oozma Kappa fraternity, said as he handed out flyers to students passing by. Just then, Squishy's mother, Sheri, joined Squishy while holding a tray of cookies... "Join Oozma Kappa today!" Sheri told the students passing by, "We've got cookies!" "Mom!" Squishy cried, embarrassed by his mother trying to help him recruit new members into the fraternity. Misty and the Nintendo high School seniors sweatdropped as they saw what happened. "Well... that's definitely a rare sight on campus. Parents don't usually stick around with their college kids," Misty told the group as they continued with their tour, "And over there is the Arts and Humanities building, formerly known as the College of Communication. Majors involved with that building include anything related to the arts such as film, music, and theater. Speaking of which, if you all see that big building there, that happens to be a new theater built just recently, used for different kinds of plays and concerts. Next on the list to our left are the three main Engineering buildings. Yes folks, you heard me, THREE Engineering buildings. Engineering has always been an important field for TU, which was named one of the top engineering schools in Asia. All the different engineering fields are taught throughout these three buildings. So if you'll be majoring in Engineering, just know you'll have a lot of walking to do between these buildings. And over there is the Business Administration building, where classes relating to business-related majors are taught. Fun fact, majority of new students consider a business-related major because they think it's easy. However, half of them eventually change majors within a year after noticing how tough the curriculum for those classes are. And that fancy-looking building over there is the Psychology building, which is where my roommate has most of her classes in. To be honest, I'm kinda jealous the Psychology-related majors have a prettier building than the rest of us. But hey, at least it's free to just walk in and admire the beauty of it." After walking for a bit, Misty and the others found themselves in an area full of stores and restaurants. "And this is the Student Union, a place where students can just hang out, study, buy something, or have lunch," Misty said. Over at one of the tables in the area were Hiro Hamada and Baymax, who were playing a game of chess, with Hiro thinking hard at how to win the game while Baymax simply stared at the chess board silently. "We can grab something to eat in a little bit," Misty told the group of Nintendo high School seniors, "But first, I'd like to show you guys my favorite place on campus. Follow me!" "TogiTogi," Togepi happily said from Misty's backpack as Misty led the group to the Student Union exit, heading to a spot Misty really enjoyed.
Well he didn't exactly say no KH news on those events, he just mentioned D23 specifically because that's what the interviewer asked him about. Don't worry, there's still hope for those two events.
While discussing the upcoming Dissidia Final Fantasy reboot with Famitsu, the Kingdom hearts series director, Tetsuya Nomura, was asked about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts event at D23, and he had the following to say: Whether or not this has anything to do with a cancelled smartphone game Disney was developing is unknown. Perhaps a possible localization of X[chi]? Source: Gematsu
We're in the middle of April. These past few months aren't exactly known to be a time of big updates on anything KH-related. Having followed constant news on the franchise for over a decade, the only exception to this rule that I could think of would be some world reveals from sources like Famitsu, but even then, those only happen after getting an actual trailer for the game (and no, the E3 2013 reveal, the D23 gameplay, and last year's discussion between YMX and young Eraqus don't exactly count as what I consider an actual trailer). If you're waiting for an update, I would point towards E3. And in the unfortunate case that nothing at E3 gets revealed, there's always TGS and D23 later in the year.

I'm really sorry to have to see you go AP. I know you haven't posted much in HSD, but I still enjoyed RPing with you. The door's always open should you choose to return.
Daredevil's red cosume finally revealed:
Spoiler I'm sure we'll get the answer to how she's alive later on, but as for Cal... if you remember the moment when Gordon first brought Cal to that room episodes ago, there seemed to be an individual showed off-screen that caught Cal's attention. I think that individual was Jiaying, and that moment may have been when Cal found out she was alive.
I think what I find really interesting is: Spoiler Coulson had Deathlok spy on List (aka Baron von Strucker's assitant) the whole time. If this isn't leading to that upcoming Age of Ultron crossover, then I don't know what is. Also... Jiaying with Skye!!! ;~;
Jeph Loeb, the show's producer, confirmed the appearance of a certain Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. villain, further confirming Daredevil's connection to the rest of the MCU.
~Highway between Porta Vista and Tokyo~ "Low blood sugar, huh?" Pacha commented as he took the nearest highway exit, intending to take Kuzco to a restaurant after he said he was hungry. "Yeah. It's a curse," Kuzco replied. "Okay, but only a quick bite, and then we're back on the road," Pacha said as he drove to the nearest restaurant's parking lot, parking his car. "I totally agree," Kuzco replied as he and Pacha got out of the car and headed towards the restaurant, which was a Peruvian restaurant called Mudka's Meat Hut. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Outside Celadon City Gym~ Spoiler: BGM After dozing off for a while, Anthony woke up, yawning as he wondered how long he slept. 'Hmm, must've slept for hours,' Anthony thought to himself as he got up from the ground, 'I'm pretty sure that guy's gone by n-' Suddenly, Anthony noticed the very person he was trying to avoid still standing exactly the same position he remembers seeing him... "DAMMIT!!" Anthony cried as he noticed that he had no choice to to walk in front of the Metrosexual Hipster and have a Pokemon match with him in order to continue with his journey, "That's it! I'm finishing this right now!" Walking to wards the Metrosexual Hipster, Anthony jumped right in front of him, and the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage Spoiler: BGM 'Oh wow, I get the Rainbow Badge and the Cut technique! This day cannot get any better than this,' Anthony thought to himself as he happily walked away after beating the Metrosexual Hipster, continuing his Pokemon journey. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Back of Bar~ Walking to the back of the bar, Officer Carter found Jazz playing poker with a couple of guys... "Yo Carter, what's happening, man?" Jazz greeted Carter. "Where's Shan-Yu?" Carter asked. "Who?" Jazz asked. "I'm serious, Jazz!" Carter replied as he took out his gun and pointed it at Jazz, "Where is he?" Upon noticing Carter take out his gun, the men that Jazz was playing poker with took out their own guns and pointed them at Carter, leading to a Mexican standoff. "Carter, put the gun down," Jazz calmly told Carter as he got up form his seat. "Don't act like you know me," Carter replied, "I know your buddy's uncle is a judge, Jazz. How would you like to go to court with him?" "I see what's going on here. You trying to play me like a fool," Jazz said. After a couple seconds of absolute silence, everyone in the room began to laugh and put their guns away, with the whole situation having just been played out for fun. "You know I was just playing," Carter told Jazz, "Man, give me a hug." "Heh, come here you a**hole," Jazz replied as he and Carter shared a friendly hug, "Why you didn't come to church Sunday?" "I had some things to take care of," Carter answered, "But I made the night service. Anyway, heard anythin' 'bout some Chinese dude called Shan-Yu?" "I don't know nothing about that," Jazz replied. "Jazz, I know what you do. The only reason why I ain't busted your ass... 'cause you my cousin, and it'd kill Aunt Bootsy," James told Jazz. "Why you put Aunt Bootsy in this?" Jazz asked. "I ain't playing. I know she got a bad heart, but I will bust your ass," Carter replied, "Tell me something." Sighing, Jazz said, "The word down in the Chinese district is there's this new dude in town. Bad-ass dude outta China, gathering loads of cash from years of drug dealing." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University: Bus Parking~ Noticing a bus with the words 'Nintendo High' on the side park near her, Misty figured that it was the bus she was waiting for her. "Look, Togepi. They're here!" Misty told Togepi. "Togi!" Togepi replied, feeling just as happy as Misty. Watching the senior students from Nintendo High School exit the bus, Misty switched on her megaphone, and began speaking through it, welcoming the Nintendo High students... "Good afternoon Nintendo High Class of 2014!" Misty greeted the students, who cheered in reply to Misty referring to them as Class of 2014, "My name's Misty, and I hope you're all excited to check out Tokyo University. If you are, then let me hear you make some noise!" "YEEAAH!!!" the Nintendo High School students cheered. "Awesome," Misty said as she took out the lanyards she was holding on to, "Now before we get to the tour, I'd like each of you to take a lanyard, and write your name on the label so I can know who's who. Once you all do that, we'll get started on this tour right away." Taking out a pen from her backpack, Misty handed the lanyards and her pen to Clemont, who wrote his name on the label for one of the lanyards, and passed the pen and the other lanyards to the student next to him, and the pattern continued until everyone was accounted for. "Okay, now does everyone have a lanyard?" Misty asked, with all the senior students nodding and showing Misty the lanyards around their necks. "Perfect! So, without further ado, I welcome you all to Tokyo University! Follow me, and stay close," Misty said as she began walking to the main campus while being followed by the Nintendo High School students. "TogiTogi," Togepi said, happy for the tour to start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Goofy's Home~ Entering his home, Max Goof walked straight to his room while saying, "Dad, I'm home." Not sure if his father was home yet, Max added, "Umm, if you're here, then we really gotta talk. And yes, it is about that fire you caused today. I don't know if you realize this, but I was the laughing stock of the school after that incident." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 32: Flashback 8 Years Ago (April 11, 2005) / Crystal Order Hideout in Iraq: Shay Cormac's Room~ After having breakfast, Shay was reading through the day's newspaper, with a section focused on the upcoming elections in Japan for prime minister. One of the candidates was Harriet Jones, who promised to end all Japanese military involvement in Iraq if elected, believing the war to have been a fiasco. "It really took her two years to realize that," Shay said to himself as he shook his head, feeling rather indifferent on whether or not she wins the election, because as far as Shay was concerned, all he wanted to do was make sure that all Japanese soldiers are out of Iraq, no matter how it happens. Hearing a knock on the door, Cormac replied, "Come in." Opening the door and entering Shay's Room was Jadeite... "Shay, Master Kenway requests your presence," Jadeite said. "Right," Shay replied as he put the newspaper away and left his room with Jadeite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "Thank you for this lovely tea, Yen Sid," Officer Jenny said as she and Yen Sid drank tea. "No problem at all, Officer. Anything for a friend of Doctor Hu," Yen Sid replied, "Speaking of which, how is the good doctor?" "He's doing fine. Always busy with patients," Officer Jenny answered. "That's good to hear," Yen Sid replied as he finished his tea, "Now then, what sort of help will you be needing from me?" "Well, as I'm sure you heard... Elsa, queen of Arendelle, has gone missing since Friday, and the police has been trying so hard to look for her. But no luck so far," Officer Jenny answered, "Someone then suggested using the help of someone with magic to try and locate her. So, think you can help?" "Hmm..." Yen Sid said, thinking as he stroked his beard until he had an idea, "I think I may know of a way to help. Wait right here." Nodding, Officer Jenny watched as Yen Sid got up and went to get something from the closet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Hospital~ "Ah, Philip, what a surprise," Doctor Hu said as he entered Hermione's room, "Hermione's doing absolutely fantastic. Too bad the one who did this to her still hasn't been caught. Which reminds me, Officer Jenny just messaged me. She said that she's asking for help in finding Queen Elsa from a friend of mine at Nintendo High who can use magic." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Inside the Bus~ Standing in front of a table with a touchscreen, and a screen on the wall showing live footage of the interrogation room, General Shining Armor watched footage of Alan in a deep sleep (which was a side-effect of the truth drug he injected him with) in the interrogation room. Noticing Skye walking towards him, Shining Armor asked, "Did Agent Alan give you anything?" "He told me he's been to Dubai, but he never spent much time there," Skye replied, "And he wishes you stayed as a consultant for Prime Minister Harriet Jones. Alan doesn't like your style. But... I kind of think I do." As Skye and Shining Armor smiled at each other, Shining typed something on the table touchscreen, and the screen on the wall began to show footage from Greece of a woman yelling 'Where's the Relic?!' and 'The Relic must be destroyed!' while killing bystanders. Seeing the footage, Skye recognized the woman. "Pyrrha?" Skye thought out loud, "What's going on?" "Pyrrha Alexandra... status... deceased," Shining Armor said as he typed something into the table touchscreen, and a death certificate turned up on the wall screen, "Skye... if your friend Pyrrha really is alive... then I'm afraid she could be in grave danger. I want to help, but you have to trust me." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Thor's and Loki's Home: Garage~ As Thor started working on his car, he heard a woman screaming outside. Running outside while still carrying his hammer to see what all the commotion was about, Thor noticed an old lady was being mugged by a robber. "Hey, stop it!" Thor yelled. Once the robber heard Thor, he began running away, but Thor wanted to catch him and teach him a lesson. "Oh no you don't!" Thor said as he started running after the robber. Hoping to stop the robber, Thor threw his hammer straight towards him, but was shocked by the way the hammer moved, flying in a straight line towards the robber and hitting him hard. The hammer then, much to Thor's surprise, began flying back to him. "What the-?!" a confused Thor said to himself as he quickly caught his hammer as it flew to him. Once he caught it, Thor could feel jolts of electricity all around him, and yet didn't feel any harm. "What's going on?" Thor thought out loud, confused by the fact the his hammer flew around freely, and that electricity isn't even harming him. Once the jolts of electricity were gone, Thor noticed the robber had gotten up, and had reached a nearby bridge. "Hey! I'm not finished with you yet!" Thor yelled as he followed the robber to the bridge. As the robber tripped, Thor was able to catch up too him, intending to smash him with his hammer and knock him out. "Take this!" Thor yelled as he was about to hit the robber with his hammer. The robber, however, quickly dodged, and Thor's hammer hit the ground instead. What happened when the hammer hit the ground shocked Thor even more, with jolts of electricity stemming from the hammer's impact on the ground, as well as some damage to the area where the hammer hit. 'I'm not... THAT strong... am I?' Thor thought to himself as he noticed the damage he caused on the ground. Turning around, Thor was suddenly kicked in the face by the robber, causing him to trip on the bridge rail and fall towards the river below. "Aaaahhhh!!!!" Thor screamed as he fell. Suddenly, Thor felt his falling stop immediately. Looking down, Thor noticed that he was literally hovering above the river. "Am I... flying?" Thor asked himself. Looking up towards the bridge, with the feeling of wanting to get back up there, Thor felt himself ascend straight towards the bridge rail. Grabbing the rail, and climbing back up to the bridge, Thor was still in shock as to what has been happening to him. But upon noticing the robber running away in the other direction, Thor decided to take advantage of what ever was happening to and ran towards the robber. Once he was close enough, Thor pointed his hammer towards the robber, and was semi-surprised to see a bolt of electricity from his hammer strike the robber, causing him to collapse to the ground. "Okay okay, I give up!" the robber cried as Thor approached him. Grabbing the robber, Thor held him up high, and said, "Don't ever let me catch you stealing from others again, understand?!" "Yes, yes, I promise!" the robber cried. Dropping the robber on the ground Thor gazed at the hammer in his hand, wondering if this was what it felt like to be a Conduit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "Aye-yi-yi! That Rider's a friend?!" Alpha thought out loud after it was revealed Bujin Gaim was Ron. "Rita and Zedd must have known that Ron was a friend of a Harry," Zordon commented, "The Riders must find a way to save Ron and make him good again without harming him." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets~ Continuing to send spear-shaped beams of energy towards Bujin Gaim, Hiccup suddenly heard Harry refer to Bujin Gaim as Ron. 'What a sec... THAT's Ron, Harry's friend??!!' Hiccup thought to himself, 'If that really is Ron... then something weird is going on... better find a way to make him stop attacking.' Swinging his Banaspear, banana projections appeared in front of Ron, able to absorb Ron's attacks. "That should slow him down... hopefully," Hiccup said to himself.
I believe you're thinking that what's shown in gameplay is indicative of what happens in the plot. To sum it up, what happens in gameplay doesn't really represent how it happens plot-wise, because gameplay can go however the player wants it to be (whether it be button mashing on the boss alone, or letting your allies do all the work while you stand in the corner doing nothing until it's time for the final blow). Just because you played a certain way doesn't mean that's how it happened. But when discussing the plot, I personally think it's safe to assume that Sora, Donald, Goofy, and whatever ally joins them contributes to battles equally. But back to the point, Sora is a very important part of the team, and the reality is, Donald and Goofy combined still can't be anywhere as strong as Sora (again, forget gameplay mechanics and whatever stats Donald and Goofy have). So, I still don't think having them fighting the Heartless without any help from Sora after the events of the 1000 Heartless battle would've been successful. Not at all. Besides, if Donald and Goofy could protect the worlds by themselves, then what was the point of them looking for Sora in the first place?
But the difference is that Sora was helping them in those battles. She was only referring to what would happen if they fought battles without any help from Sora.
