~Nintendo High School: Principal's Office~ "Very well. I'll see what I can do," Al Mualim replied to Koyomi and Haruto as he took a look at Koyomi's schedule. Looking at Haruto, Al Mualim said, "I do understand, and respect your privacy. However, I will also need your schedule as well in order to do as you asked." -------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital~ "Oh, almost forgot," Officer Jenny said after Philip called Shotaro, "Any luck on the search for Queen Elsa?" "Queen Elsa? As in the Arendelle queen?" Doctor Hu asked. "Yup," Officer Jenny replied, "The police department's been looking for her since Friday. I really wonder where she could've disappeared to." ------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Modern History Classroom~ Riku chuckled a bit as he watched Dante and Billy playfully bicker. Still, he didn't feel it was as funny as when he saw that homeless girl, Emma, and her Espurr, Mimi, outsmart a bunch of police officers earlier in the day, sending them falling to a truck full of fertilizer. --------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: English Classroom~ "Good morning class," John Smith addressed his students as 2nd period started, "Today's the day... the last day we focus on sonnets... I promise. But anyway, before we start today's lesson, could you all please pass your homework assignments to the front?" Trixie, Gaston, Vanellope, and Xion all passed their homework assignments to the students in front of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Mythology Classroom~ "Yeah, I finished my homework," Katniss replied as she held out her completed homework assignment. Part of her was wishing that she was still sitting through the prime minister debate, as she didn't have to face Clair, and the fact that she and Haymitch were surrounded by friends. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ "Now then, time to start practicing," Yen Sid commented as he knocked on his desk twice, and brooms came out of his closet, carrying instruments for each of his students... "We'll be continuing with Paul Dukas's 'Sorcerer's Apprentice.' Then on Friday, we'll be moving on to Modest Mussorgsky's 'Night on Bald Mountain,'" Yen Sid said as the brooms handed each student his or her musical instrument. --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Gym Class~ As the game of flag football continued, the ball was thrown to Ed, who yelled, "I got it, I got it!" Catching the ball, Ed laughed as he ran. However, he was running the wrong way, towards his own team's side. "Ed you idiot! You're going the wrong way!" Eddy yelled at Ed, running towards him. Once Eddy reached Ed, he quickly slapped him, causing Ed to spin around, and continue running while still laughing, though the right way this time. 'Phew, that was a close one,' Eddy thought to himself. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Drama Classroom~ Max was glad to hear Kuja being impressed with his knowledge of 'Hamlet.' Taking out his textbook, Max opened straight to 'Hamlet,' and searched for the precise point Kuja was discussing. Once Max found the part of Act I that included Laertes and Ophelia, he began to follow along with the lesson. ----------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Advanced Calculus Classroom~ Once 2nd period began, Sully addressed his class, ready to lecture them on today's lesson. "Alright class, today, we'll be covering differential equations," Sully said, "At first glance, it may look like a nightmare, but it really is easier than you might think. If you know derivatives, then you'll be an expert with differential equations." --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Pokemon Battling Classroom~ Spoiler: BGM Spoiler: Pokemon Battle! Taking out a Pokeball, Professor Oak threw it up in the air, and out came his Kingler... "Cookiecookie," Kingler said as it came out of Oak's Pokeball. "Pop quiz Ritchie," Oak told his student, "Would you mind telling the class Kingler's type?" "Pure Water-type, weak to Electric and Grass type moves," Ritchie replied. "Very good, Ritchie," Oak said, "And what Pokemon will you be using to battle Kingler?" "Heh, that's easy. Sparky of course," Ritchie replied. "Pikachu!" Sparky added, jumping off of Ritchie's shoulder, and coming face-to-face with Kingler. "Very good use of taking advantage of Pokemon types, Ritchie," Oak replied, "Now then, Kingler, use your Mud Shot attack!" "Cookie!" Kingler replied, attacking Sparky with a Mud Shot attack. "Pika!" Sparky cried as he was hit by Kingler's Mud Shot attack, collapsing to the floor. "Sparky!" Ritchie cried, worried about his Pikachu. "You may have the upper hand as far Pokemon types go... doesn't mean Kingler can't use attacks that are strong against electric Pokemon," Oak said, grinning, "Ground-type attacks are the Achilles heel for Pikachus." "Sparky, you ok?" Ritchie asked his Pikachu. Getting up slowly, Sparky winked at Ritchie, and gave him a thumps up, saying, "Pikachu." Smiling, Ritchie replied, "Ok Sparky... it may have been years since our last Pokemon battle, but we can do this. Use Quick Attack!" Nodding, Sparky used his Quick Attack move, avoiding Kingler's Mud Shot attacks being thrown at him. Once Sparky got close to Kingler, Ritchie yelled, "Hit Kingler with your Thunder attack!" Jumping above Kingler, Sparky began to surround himself with a lot of electricity. "Pikaaaa..... CHUUUUU!!!!!!!" Sparky cried, hitting Kingler with a massive Thunder attack. "COOKIEEEE!!!!" Kingler cried as it was hit by Sparky's Thunder attack before it fainted. "Hmm, nice comeback, Ritchie," Professor Oak said as he summoned Kingler back into its Pokeball, and took out anther Pokeball, "Now let's see you handle this... Come out, Muk!" As Oak threw the Pokeball into the air, his Muk came out of it... "MumumuMUK!!!" Muk said as it appeared. "Muk huh... ok, pure Poison-type... not resistant to electric attacks... but not exactly weak to them either," Ritchie commented. "Very good, Ritchie," Oak replied, "Now, Muks and Pikachus do share the same weakness against ground-type attacks. However, just like Kingler, Muk does know a ground-type attack or two... Muk, use your Mud Bomb attack!" "MUK!!" Muk yelled as it attacked Sparky with a Mud Bomb attack. "Pika!" Sparky cried as it was hit by Muk's ground-type attack, fainting. "Sparky!" Ritchie cried as he rushed to his Pikachu. Carrying him, Ritchie noticed Sparky looking at him with a sad look, disappointed that he couldn't beat Muk. "Don't worry Sparky, you did great," Ritchie told his Pikachu, "Now, how to beat Muk... It's weak to ground and psychic attacks... but the Pokemon I have with those kinds of attack would be weak against Muk's poison attacks... except..." Taking out one of his Pokeballs, Ritchie throws it into the air, yelling, "Come out, Happy!" Out from the Pokeball came Ritchie's Butterfree, Happy... "Freeee," Happy said once it appeared. "A Butterfree?" Oak thought out loud, "You do realize Muks are resistant to bug attacks... or were you intending to constantly use flying attacks against Muk?" "Neither," Ritchie replied, grinning, "But Muks are weak against Psychic attacks... and Happy here happens to know a psychic move or two." "Oh, didn't see that coming..." Oak nervously said as he sweatdropped. "Alright Happy, use your Psychic attack on Muk!" Ritchie yelled. "Freeeeeee!" Happy replied as it used its Psychic attack on Muk. "Muuuuuk!" Muk cried as it suffered from Happy's Psychic attack before fainting. Spoiler: BGM "YES! First Pokemon battle in years, and I win!" Ritchie shouted happily. "Pikachu!" Sparky added, feeling just as happy as Ritchie. "Freeee!" Happy said as it joined in the celebration with Ritchie and Sparky. Summoning Muk back to its Pokeball, Oak looked at Ritchie celebrating, and smiled, happy to see that Ritchie is still as good as a trainer as he remembers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Biochemistry Classroom~ "Sure thing, Ms. Meiou," Roxas replied to Setsuna as he placed his completed worksheet on his desk, intending to hand it in once class is over. Looking at the textbook he had just opened, Roxas started to browse through the chapter that they were about to begin reading. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Inside the Bus~ With Shining Armor and his team gathered around a table inside the Bus, Melina May asked, "So, what's our first mission?" "Well, have you guys ever heard of the Rising Tide?" Shining Armor asked the others. "I became a Level 7 just so I can hunt down some underground hacktivists?" Alan thought out loud. "Now now... you underestimate them, Alan," Shining Armor replied, "They're a bunch of Edward Snowdens that could jeopardize our fight with the S-types and the Crystal Order. One of them was responsible for that leak last week involving Toshima. Speaking of which..." Pressing a button in front of him, a screen popped up from the table, and began to play a voice message... How will you come at us? From the air? From the ground? How will you silence us this time? How can you? The truth is in the wind. It's everywhere. You cannot stop The Rising Tide. You will not find us. You will never see our faces. But rest assured... We will rise against those who shield us from the truth. And nothing... nothing can stop us! The audio from the voice message was heavily modulated, so it couldn't be used to match against someone else's voice. "Huh, well it looks like whoever sent the message didn't want to be recognized," Simmons commented. "Indeed," Shining Armor added, "Especially since whoever sent this message is the same person who was responsible for the leak last week." "Really?" Alan asked. Nodding in reply, Shining Armor said, "When we got the message today, we were able to match the signal to that of the hacker from last week. The only problem is we don't exactly know where in the world this hacker is. Which is why I need you, Fitz. This is your area of expertise, correct?" "Y-yes, General," Fitz replied. "Perfect. Lab is to your right ahead. All the equipment you need is there. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my office on the second floor. Let me know when you've tracked our hacker," General Shining Armor said. "Of course, sir," Fitz replied as he walked to the lab while being followed by Jemma. "I'll help out too," Simmons told Fitz, who smiled at her as they entered the lab. Whistling as he headed for the stairs, Shining Armor noticed Melinda May approach him, asking, "So... what happens when we find the hacker?" "Interrogation for sure... and maybe get to talk him or her into helping us," Shining Armor replied. "Help? What makes you think an anti-government hacker would be willing to help us out?" May asked. "May, you gotta realize one important thing. When I mentioned the guys we were fighting, I mentioned S-types and Crystal Order... but I didn't mention the Rising Tide now, did I?" Shining Armor replied, "Yeah, they do give us a headache every now and then... but I still think they wanna fight the good fight. Maybe, just maybe, they can see that we don't mean any harm to them, and that all we're trying to do is fight an enemy that views us and them as enemies." Sighing, May said, "I hope you're right Shining Armor, I hope you're right..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 16: Flashback 9 Years Ago (April 3, 2004) / Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM A large gathering of Crystal Order members, including the top 3 in command (Rassilon, Haytham Kenway, and Al Mualim), was in attendance near the entrance to the Crystal Order HQ to witness the initiation of Shay Patrick Cormac into the order. "Brothers! We are gathered here today to witness the initiation of a new member into our order," Charles Lee said, "Becoming a part of the Crystal Order is a lifelong commitment that will usually require you to do something when you least expect it. So I ask of the new recruit, are you all willing to do what is asked of you?" "Aye," Shay replied, showing his willingness to do whatever it takes to support the Crystal Order's cause. "Good. Now, once you become a member of the Crystal Order, you are to do whatever you can to support the S-types in their search for their missing brothers scattered all over the world in crystalline form. Will you do that?" Charles Lee asked. "Aye," Shay replied once again. "And do you swear to never reveal our leader's name to anyone other than those in the order?" Charles Lee continued, "Know that if you dare do such a thing, you will die from an incurable curse every one of us is under." "I do," Cormac replied. Charles Lee then grabbed a fire-heated branding iron, with a mark at the end that is found on the right palm of every Crystal Order Member (except for the top 3 in command). "Now, give me your right hand," Lee told Shay, who did as he was told. "By the power vested in me, I name you, Shay Patrick Cormac, our new brother," Charles Lee said as he pushed the end of the burning branding iron into the right palm of Shay. There was a sharp and intense pain felt by Shay, but it ended pretty quickly. Looking down, Cormac noticed the now permanent mark on his right palm, symbolizing his allegiance to the Crystal Order. All the present members then clapped for Shay, welcoming him into the order with open arms. Shay was then approached by Al Mualim and Haytham Kenway, who were both smiling at him. "Congratulations on becoming part of our brotherhood, Mr. Cormac," Al Mualim told Shay, congratulating him. "Thank you, Al Mualim," Shay replied. "Now that you're part of the Crystal Order, I wish to discuss some things with you on Iraq, if you wouldn't mind," Al Mualim said. "Of course, I'd be more than happy to," Cormac replied. "Perfect. Follow me and Haytham upstairs," Al Mualim said. Cormac nodded, and followed Al Mualim and Haytham Kenway as they headed to the stairs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~The Observatory, Cuba~ Davy Jones was standing on the shores of Cuba, in an area known as The Observatory, where workers were digging around an ancient site believed by locals to have been a temple from a thousand years ago. Off the shore was Jones's ship, the Flying Dutchman, ready to depart to Japan upon the delivery of the S-type crystals Davy Jones came for. Hearing the sound of an incoming vehicle, Davy Jones noticed an incoming limousine park near him, with fellow Crystal Order members Torres, Butch, and Cassidy stepping out of the limo... "Ah, President Torres, it's an honor to finally meet ye," Davy Jones greeted the Cuban president. "The pleasure is all mine, Captain," Torres replied, "My men here have recovered the S-type crystals found here, as promised to Master Rassilon." "Perfect. I'll be sure to send your regards to our masters once I return to Japan," Davy Jones said. "Thank you, Davy Jones," Torres replied as he turned to face Butch and Cassidy, "Retrieve the boxes." "Yes," Cassidy and Butch replied as they went to the site where workers were digging to pick up the boxes of S-type crystals. Meanwhile, hiding in a nearby bush was an MI6 agent spying on the meeting between Torres and Davy Jones... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~The Year 2029 (16 Years in the Future) / Beijing, China~ “The future... a dark, desolate world. A world of war, suffering, loss. Conduits, non-conduits, humans, and non-humans, fighting an enemy we cannot defeat. Creatures of darkness completely inhabiting every world across all dimensions. Life itself is all but a thing of the past. Only a handful of individuals remain... including myself. But for how long can we keep running? How much longer can we, the last living things, survive? Are we destined down this path? Destined to succumb to the darkness? To accept the end of all dimensions? To accept extinction? Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves, change our fate? Is the future truly set in stone?” -Sycamore, Augustine Days of Future Past, 2029 Spoiler: BGM Beijing, China... once a bustling metropolis many years ago... now nothing more than a ghost town... just like every other other place on Earth... and every other planet as well. Despite it being 2:43 p.m., no sun appears. Darkness has engulfed everything, with creatures of darkness constantly roaming the streets and skies. Standing watch from the window of a building was Yukio, one of the few remaining living beings that still remain... Yukio was patiently waiting for two visitors to arrive in order to direct them to a monastery in the mountains. In the monastery was the last hope for everyone... for those who died, and those who still remain. Hearing the door's doorknob behind her open, Yukio turned around and pointed two guns at the door, ready for whatever was behind the door. As the door opened, Yukio sighed a breath of relief, as it was the two visitors she was expecting... It was Mewtwo, wearing his brown cape, accompanied by the small girl known as Rini, who had a flying device known as Luna-P fly around her. "Yukio, I presume?" Mewtwo asked, with Yukio nodding in reply. "And I suppose you know where the Time Key is?" Mewtwo asked once more. "There is a monastery to the mountains up north," Yukio replied as she looked outside, "If you want to go, I suggest you go now. There aren't any Shadows or Dusks on the streets at this hour." Yukio replied. "Alright," Mewtwo said. Bending down to face Rini, Mewtwo asked, "Are you ready, Rini?" Thinking about it for moment, about what she needed to do, Rini nodded and said, "Yeah." "Very well. Get on my back," Mewtwo told Rini, who jumped on Mewtwo's back and held on. As Yukio opened the window, she said, "Good luck... and may we meet in much better circumstances." Mewtwo and Rini nodded, and Mewtwo flew outside, still carrying Rini on his back while being followed by Luna-P. Watching them fly away, Yukio smiled at the possibility that all the suffering and death that the universe went through may be reversed. But as she watched, she noticed three creatures known as Metamorphosis follow them. "Watch out!" Yukio cried out to Mewtwo and Rini. Hearing Yukio's cry, Mewtwo and Rini look around and find the flying creatures that Yukio was trying to warn them of... Noticing the creatures flying fast towards them, Rini cried, "Mewtwo, what do we do?" "Hold on, Rini!" Mewtwo replied as he flew away from the creatures, and a chase began through the buildings of Beijing. Zigzagging between the empty buildings, Mewtwo tried his best to lose the Metamorphosis, but they were too quick. "They're too fast!" Rini cried. "Then it's time I used desperate measures!" Mewtwo replied. Noticing two tall buildings close together, Mewtwo flew between them, and came to a halt. Turning around, Mewtwo watched as the flying creatures were racing towards him and Rini on the same path. Once the Metamorphosis were between the two buildings, Mewtwo used a massive amount of his psychic energy, and caused the two buildings to smash into each other, destroying the Metamorphosis creatures that were in between. "Phew, that was close," Rini commented, "But that was so cool, Mewtwo." "We must hurry to the monastery. Time is running out," Mewtwo said. Rini nodded in reply, and with Mewtwo flying towards the mountains to the north... ------------------------------------------------------ ~Coffee Shop~ "Uhh... John de Loncie... de Mincie... de Princie...," the barista called out as the orders for Discord and Alice finished, clumsily getting his fake name wrong. "Ugh, it's de Lancie," Discord replied to the barista as she gave him a cup holder with Alice's sweet tea and Discord's macchiato. Placing the cup holder on the table where Alice sat, Discord asked, "Don't you just hate it when your name is pronounced wrong?" Taking a sip of his drink as he sat down, Discord commented, "Ooh, now that's some good macchiato."
~Nintendo High School: Biochemistry Classroom~ "I do," Roxas replied to Setsuna as he took out his Biochemistry textbook and opened it to the second chapter, "We were supposed to start Chapter 2 today. Mostly covers carbohydrates. Oh, almost forgot, we also had homework last night." Roxas then took out a completed worksheet he completed last night for class, intending to hand it to Setsuna. -------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Modern History Classroom~ Nodding, Riku replied, "Thank you." Picking the nearest empty seat next to him, Riku watched as other students entered the classroom. "Umm, just one question," Riku told Dante and Billy, "Since I'm new and missed about a week's worth of work, is there a lot I need to catch up on?" ----------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Drama Classroom~ "Well, you know what they say sir... politicians are the best actors," Max Goof replied to Kuja, eliciting chuckling from other students in the class, "But in all seriousness, while the monarch government in Hamlet is different than our democracy here in Japan, there is one similarity between them. Everyone wants power. In Hamlet, it's Cludius. And in Japan... it's whoever's running for an election. Of course, God forbid the day someone kills just to become prime minister like mean ol' Claudius killed his brother to be king." ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University: Lecture Hall~ As Professor Callaghan's lecture ended, all his students (including Hiro) were heading for the exit. "Mr. Hamada, a word please?" Callaghan said, requesting Hiro to speak with him. As Hiro stopped walking, he turned his head to his professor, and replied, "Coming!" Shifting his attention to Baymax, Hiro said, "Wait for me outside. It won't be long." Baymax nodded, and did just as Hiro ordered him to, heading to the exit while Hamada walked over to Robert Callaghan. "What is it, Professor?" Hiro asked. "I just wanted to know how you're feeling, Hiro," Callaghan replied. "I-I'm good. I think I can get used to life on campus," Hiro answered. "I see..." Callaghan replied, "Been thinking about Tadashi lately?" Hiro's heart sank at the mention of his late brother, still not believing that he was gone. When Hiro didn't even say a word, Callaghan said, "I miss him too, Hiro. Tadashi was one of my best students ever. It's truly hard for me to walk to the Senior Design lab knowing I won't be seeing him there. And believe me, I know exactly how it feels to lose someone very close to you." "You do?" Hiro asked. "Yeah," Callaghan replied, "My daughter died two years ago... and I keep thinking of her every single day... wishing I could've done something to save her life. But... we gotta learn to accept these things Hiro. This is life." Sighing, Hiro replied, "I know. And... I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter, professor." "Thank you Hiro. You really know how to warm an old man's heart," Callaghan said as he patted Hiro on his shoulder, "If there's anything you wanna talk about, don't hesitate to talk to me." "I'll remember that, Professor Callaghan," Hiro replied, smiling. "That's good," Callaghan replied as he took out a brochure from his pocket and handed it to Hiro, "I also wanted you to check this out" "What is it?" Hiro asked as he read the brochure. "The J.I.A. is coming over to Tokyo University this Friday to recruit engineering students as interns," Callaghan replied, "Students basically need to design whatever they wish and try to impress the recruiters attending. Only a few will be lucky enough to be interns at the J.I.A. Why don't you give it a try?" As Hiro read over the brochure, he said, "You know what, I think I'll give it a try." "Heh, that's the spirit!" Callaghan replied. Nodding, Hiro turned around and headed for the exit, telling his professor, "Thanks Professor Callaghan. See you later!" "Bye Hiro," Callaghan replied, "Oh, and Hiro, one more thing?" Stopping just as he reached the door, Hiro turned around to look at his professor, wondering what he was going to say. "To start college at such a young age, you've made a lot of people proud. Myself included. And of course, Tadashi, who I'm sure is smiling down on you right now," Callaghan said, with Hiro smiling back, and slowly exiting the lecture hall. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Philosophy Classroom~ Sitting in his desk and waiting for class to start, Vanitas watched as Double D rushed into the classroom, gasping for air as he muttered, "Oh good, made it on time!"

"That was quite a stir you caused, Mr. Cormac," a familiar voice behind Cormac commented. Turning around Shay found Jadeite accompanied by the Crystal Order's second-in-command, Haytham Kenway... "Jadeite... it's been a while," Shay replied as he shook hands with Jadeite before turning his attention to Haytham, "And... you're Haytham Kenway, right?" "That's right. Number two in command in the Crystal Order," Haytham replied as he shook hands with Cormac, "I've heard so much about you Mr. Cormac. As you may remember, Jadeite told you in Iran that once you do something that catches our attention, then we talk. And I must say... attacking that blasted prison and freeing the prisoners certainly has done that. Congratulations Shay, you are one step closer to becoming a part of our brotherhood." "Thank you... it's a great honor sir," Shay replied, smiling, "I promise, as a member of the Crystal Order, I'll fight the hypocrites who call themselves freedom fighters." "Excellent answer," Kenway replied as he shifted his attention to Jadeite, "Would you mind getting us back to headquarters?" "Of course Master," Jadeite replied as he placed his hands on the shoulders of Haytham and Shay, "Hold on." Jadeite then teleported himself, Haytham, and Shay away from the roof of the building, all the way to the Crystal Order HQ... -------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Gym Class~ "Ooh, ooh, I wanna play flag football!" Ed yelled as he stormed out of the locker room immediately after hearing Fang mention flag football, thought his gym shirt was worn in reverse, not bothering Ed. "Hey, Funnel Face, wait for me!"

I hope you all read chapter 2 of your textbooks by now, as we'll start with actual Pokemon battling today, focusing on type advantages and disadvantages. Now, who'd like to help me with a little demonstration?" Raising his hand, Ritchie said, "I'll do it Professor." "Pika!" Sparky added, agreeing with Ritchie. "Perfect," Oak replied, "Stand over here Ritchie, and we'll start." Getting up from his desk, Ritchie stood a few feet from Professor Oak, with a Pokemon battle between them about to begin... ------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ As the bell rang, Yen Sid addressed his class, intending to discuss the reasoning behind scheduling the concert they were going to perform in to a closer date than expected. "Now then, I'm sure you've all received my message about the Festival of Snowflakes concert," Yen Sid said, facing his class, "And I can understand any frustration any of you are feeling about performing earlier than expected. Truth be told, I was surprised myself when Al Mualim sent me the message about the reschedule. Nevertheless, I have faith in all of you. In a week's time, you all were able to learn what others take a month to master. So, for that reason, we will be performing on the new date for the concert without changing the way I teach you." "Woah woah woah, come on teach, you know this isn't fair," Will Smith told Yen Sid as he got up from his desk to face Yen Sid, "What if we got plans on this new day?" "You don't say... and what plans do you have for November 6th Mr. Smith?" Yen Sid asked. Trying to think of what was so special about that day, Will struggled to think of an excuse to give Yen Sid. "Oh well, you know... it is Lamar Odom's birthday," Will Smith replied, referring to the NBA player's birthday. "Oh, I see... well, then how about you invite Mr. Odom to the concert as a birthday present. And the rest of the L.A. Clippers team as well," Yen Sid sarcastically suggested. "Hahaha, I see what you're tryin' to do teach... maybe I should sit down and keep my mouth shut," Will Smith replied. "Please do, Mr. Smith," Yen Sid said as Will went back to his desk and sat down, with Carlton covering his face out of shame from the way Will acted in front of the class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~J.I.A. Airbase~ Spoiler: BGM Leading a group of four individuals (Alan, Melinda May, Jemma Simmon, and Leo Fitz) through a J.I.A. airbase, General Shining Armor stopped walking once he and his group reached a parked aircraft known as 'The Bus.' "Ok guys, listen up," Shining Armor told his group as he turned around to face them, "Now you might be wondering why I brought you all here. Well, Director Stewart has personally requested I form a special task force. A team to go around the world, and deal with any dangerous situations before they get worse. I picked each and every one of you because I have faith you'll succeed in whatever jobs I'll assign you. Fitz, Simmons, you two will be our science division. May, you'll be in charge of piloting the Bus. And as for you Alan, now that you're a Level 7, you get to join me in missions that may or may not get violent. Now then... as group leader, you MUST all report to me any findings you encounter, or any actions you wish to take with the mission. Do I make myself clear?" "Yessir!" Alan, May, Simmons, and Fitz all replied. "Excellent," Shining Armor replied, "Now all of you get inside the Bus. I'll be briefing you on our first mission inside." As Alan, Fitz, and Simmons went to the aircraft, Melinda May approached General Shining Armor, telling him, "When you say piloting, I hope you mean simply just piloting. I did what I did on Friday only to save your life, but unless there is a clear life or death situation, I will not be taking part in whatever you and Alan do on the field... got it?" Pondering for a moment, Shining Armor quietly nodded, with Melinda heading to the Bus. Sighing, Shining Armor hoped that May would just let go of whatever happened in Bahrain that caused her to hate fighting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Abandoned Factory in Osaka, Japan~ "I'm gonna need you to use your teleportation powers, Mewtwo," Syndrome told Mewtwo as he closed the box of S-type crystals, "I'd hate to fly all the way back to HQ while carrying this heavy box." "Very well," Mewtwo replied. As he was about to teleport himself, Syndrome, and the box, Mewtwo noticed something whoosh past by him and Syndrome towards the box. Looking at the box, Mewtwo and Syndrome notice a rose implanted in the box, implying it has a very sharp stem. "What in the world?" Syndrome thought out loud, wondering what just happened. "Oh, are we late for the meeting?" a voice behind Mewtwo and Syndrome asked. Turning around, Mewtwo and Syndrome found Tuxedo Mask and Eugene standing at the entrance to the factory... "Such a shame, I would've loved to give an offer for those crystals," Eugene added, "Oh, and how rude of me to not introduce myself. I am Agent GS of the British MI6." "And I'm Agent Tuxedo Mask of the J.I.A.," Tuxedo Mask said, introducing himself, "The two of you are under arrest." "Oh how cute... the 'good guys' are here to arrest us... well sorry to disappoint you guys, but we're not going down without a fight," Syndrome replied as he got in a fighting stance. "I expected nothing less of a Crystal Order member," Eugene commented as he took out a Pokeball, and threw it in the air, "Alakazam, come out!" Out of the Pokeball came Eugene's Alakazam, ready to fight... "Alakazam!" Eugene's Alakazam said as it landed on the floor and with its Psychic power, sent Syndrome flying straight towards a wall on the other side of the building, with his back hitting the wall hard, causing him to collapse to the floor. Rushing to Syndrome, Mewtwo wanted to make sure his comrade was alright. "Oh... it... is... ON!" Syndrome yelled as he got up, "Mewtwo, you deal with the masked guy. The British guy and his Alakazam are MINE!" Nodding, Mewtwo left Syndrome's side, with Eugene and his Alakazam rushing straight at Syndrome, who was yelling to them, "BRING IT!" As the clash between Syndrome and Eugene's Alakazam began, Mewtwo landed in front of Tuxedo Mask, with the two ready to clash. Noticing the star locket around Mewtwo's neck, Tuxedo Mask couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity upon seeing it. "That locket... where did you get it?" Tuxedo Mask asked Mewtwo. "That doesn't concern you, J.I.A. agent," Mewtwo replied. However, upon hearing Tuxedo Mask's voice, Mewtwo couldn't help but feel like he heard his voice before. "Your voice... it sounds familiar... have we... met?" Mewtwo asked Tuxedo Mask. "Doubt it," Tuxedo Mask replied, "But I had a few friends who were in that facility in Antarctica when you got out." "I did not kill a single individual there," Mewtwo said, "I was simply liberated by my brothers in the Crystal Order from the evil entity known as the Japanese Intelligence Agency, which intended to use me as nothing but a weapon... a puppet to do whatever they commanded." "Well let me ask you this... how is fulfilling missions for the Crystal Order any different? Wouldn't that make you a puppet of theirs?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "Nonsense," Mewtwo replied, "Every single member of the brotherhood equally devotes to the cause we are fighting for. Once that cause is achieved, each one of us will be rewarded, as will the citizens of Earth." "Well, let's agree to disagree, Mewtwo," Tuxedo Mask said. "Hmph, time to end this..." Mewtwo replied.... Spoiler: BGM ~The Battle of Two Intertwined Destinies~ Spoiler: Vs. Mewtwo The Genetic Pokémon Mewtwo began to levitate slightly above the floor, with his eyes glowing purple. Different scraps and debris on the floor began to levitate as well, rotating around the Pokémon. Not sure what Mewtwo was about to do, Tuxedo Mask took out his cane, ready for whatever attack he was readying. Looking straight at Tuxedo Mask, Mewtwo pointed his right paw in Tuxedo Mask's direction. Hearing something behind him break, Tuxedo turned around, and noticed Mewtwo using his psychic powers to detach a door behind him, and send it flying straight to him. Tuxedo Mask immediately dodged to the side, just barely avoiding getting hit by the door. Still controlling the door, Mewtwo sent it, along with the scraps and debris around him straight at Tuxedo Mask, who was constantly dodging what was being thrown at him while running for his life. Flying towards Tuxedo Mask, Mewtwo sent Shadow Ball after Shadow Ball straight at his enemy, who was still managing to dodge Mewtwo's attacks. Summoning a rose, Tuxedo Mask quickly turned around, and sent his rose flying straight to Mewtwo, who stopped it with his psychic powers and tore it apart before its sharp stem could hurt him. 'No more running around,' Mewtwo thought to himself, pointing his paws to where Tuxedo Mask was. Feeling the ground around him shake, Tuxedo Mask noticed the part of the floor he was standing in rise towards Mewtwo. With a Shadow Ball in his right paw, Mewtwo intended to slam it straight to Tuxedo Mask to finish him off. Jumping off just as Mewtwo smashed through the hard concrete with a Shadow Ball, Tuxedo Mask landed right on Mewtwo's back. Holding on to the Pokémon, Tuxedo Mask tried to choke Mewtwo with his cane. Mewtwo tried to struggle, flying all over the factory, trying to get Tuxedo Mask off his back. As Mewtwo was struggling for air, he flew straight to brick wall, hoping it would force Tuxedo Mask to stop his tight grip on him, even if it meant hurting himself too. Mewtwo and Tuxedo Mask then hit the wall hard, with both falling straight to the floor. Gasping for air, Mewtwo slowly got up, and noticed Tuxedo Mask getting up slowly as well. Not wanting to give Tuxedo Mask an opening, Mewtwo instantly pointed his right paw at his enemy, controlling his body. Sending him flying to the wall yet again, Mewtwo had Tuxedo Mask pinned to the wall. "It's over, Tuxedo Mask," Mewtwo told his enemy as he kept him pinned to the wall, ready to finish him off with a devastating Shadow Ball attack. As Tuxedo Mask struggled to break free of Mewtwo's hold on him, he tried to move his right arm, slowly moving it away from the wall. Summoning a rose in his right hand, Tuxedo Mask used whatever strength he could to effectively send the rose flying straight to Mewtwo, yelling, "I don't think so!" Noticing the rose flying straight to him, Mewtwo let go of his hold on Tuxedo Mask (causing him to collapse to the ground from the wall) and tried to move out of the way quickly. While the rose's sharp stem didn't hit Mewtwo, it did hit the locket around his neck, causing it to fall to the ground. Once it fell, the locket opened, and started to play the music that Mewtwo was particularly fond of. Getting up, Tuxedo Mask listened to the star locket's music. 'I... I know this music... I know it!' Tuxedo Mask thought to himself. Suddenly, random images starting popping up in Tuxedo Mask's mind, ranging from a princess he dreams about everyday, to a kingdom getting destroyed, and an evil witch killing those that opposed her. "What's... going on with me??" Tuxedo Mask cried as he held his head, for the images that were popping up were causing him to have a severe headache. Mewtwo, on the other hand, simply watched, confused as to what was going on with Tuxedo Mask. Just then, Syndrome crashed right next to Mewtwo after taking a heavy blow from Eugene's Alakazam. "Mewtwo, we gotta get outta here. Forget the crystals!" Syndrome told Mewtwo. Without saying a word, Mewtwo took one last look at Tuxedo Mask still crying out in pain. Making the star locket levitate back to him, Mewtwo grabbed the locket, and teleported himself and Syndrome back to the Crystal Order HQ. Rushing to Tuxedo Mask with his Alakazam, Eugene could hear his partner's cries of pain throughout the building. "Tuxedo Mask! Are you alright?" Eugene asked Tuxedo Mask. "PRINCESS!!!" Tuxedo Mask yelled as he fainted to the ground. "Tuxedo Mask!" Eugene cried as he got down by Tuxedo Mask's side, and tried to wake him up. Noticing Tuxedo Mask groan brought a sigh of relief to Eugene, who was happy that his partner was still alive. Slowly opening his eyes, Tuxedo Mask found Eugene and Alakazam looking at him. "W-what happened?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "Well, it looks like our friends from the Crystal Order got away. But the good news is that they left the box of S-type crystals behind. Guess they'd rather leave it behind than be caught," Eugene replied. "I see..." Tuxedo Mask commented as he got up, with some help from Eugene and Alakazam. "Are you... alright?" Eugene asked. "I'm fine Eugene, really," Tuxedo Mask replied. "Hmm, very well," Eugene said as he took out a Pokeball and pointed it at Alakazam, "Alakazam, return." Summoning his Alakazam back to its Pokeball, Eugene walked over to the box of S-type crystals with Tuxedo Mask, commenting, "Mission accomplished." Tuxedo Mask nodded in agreement. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Roof of Building Close to Coffee Shop~ With his binoculars, Javert watched as Discord and his new friends were ordering something to drink. Although Javert saw what appeared to be Discord talking to thin air earlier in the day just as he did days ago, he felt that Discord was doing a good job with his mission of befriending Alice Elliot.

Listening to this while reading what you wrote certainly does wonders.
I'll admit, the decision to include Avatar in the Animal Kingdom has certainly baffled me when it was first announced a few years ago. I personally felt Disney's Hollywood Studios would've felt like a better place to include Avatar. Still, looking at it from Disney's perspective, I can kinda understand why Animal Kingdom was chosen, as the park closes earlier than the other three due to the animals' strict schedule, so the Avatar area could be used as an excuse to extend the operating hours. Now for Avatar itself, while I didn't dislike the movie, I still can't see what made it so special in comparison to other movies. Still, say what you will about Avatar, but the fact that it made more than twice as much money as the highest-grossing Harry Potter movie shows that there is definitely an audience. When the announcement about Avatar's inclusion in Disney was made, several classmates in one of my engineering classes said how it was gonna be great and that they were looking forward to it. Also, many kids who watched the movie when it came out and unabashedly loved it will be teenagers by the time Avatar is included in Animal Kingdom, so expect many nostalgic teens wanting to go there. Hell, even my own cousin and his son are huge fans of Avatar. Why is there so much love for this one movie, I still don't understand... but I accept that there are lots of people who love it, which is why I think including Avatar in Animal Kingdom will benefit Disney.
I did it find it weird that Phase 2 is ending with Ant-Man as opposed to Age of Ultron... maybe the Ant-Man movie is more important than one might think. I have a hunch that it's gonna be this. Considering Howard Stark is gonna be in this movie, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Ultron was something Hank and Howard worked on that would ultimately be completed by Tony in Age of Ultron.
I just finished my playthrough about a month ago, and yes, I certainly was hit by the feels, and while it certainly was because of the actual content, in my case, most of it was because being the first Pokemon game since Blue I ever played, it brought back a joy I had I when I first got into Pokemon so many years ago, so nostalgia really played a big factor. That and I was able to become Champion with a team that consisted of three Pokemon I hold in high regard (Lucario, Pikachu, and Fennekin).

~Tokyo Streets: Officer Carter's Convertible~ As Carter continued driving through the streets of Tokyo, Lee was getting bored, and decided to turn on the car radio for some music. Turning it on, Lee was happy to hear the radio playing a Beach Boys song. "Beach Boys," Inspector Lee happily told Carter, who looked at his Chinese partner with a face indicating disgust. "Oh, hell, no," Carter said, "You didn't just touch my goddamn radio." "The Beach Boys are great music," Lee added as he continued listening to the song. "The Beach Boys will get you a great ass-whoopin'. Don't ever touch a black man's radio, boy. You can do that in China but you'll get your ass killed out here in Japan. Let me show you real music," Carter replied as he changed the radio channel, with a new song playing in the car. "That's real music. You hear that?" Carter asked Lee as he danced to the beat while driving, "Now can you do that to the Beach Boys? Hell no!" Instead of answering, Lee just stared at Carter as he continued dancing to the new song. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Principal's Office~ Happily whistling as he headed towards his office, Al Mualim noticed Haruto and Koyomi waiting for him outside. "Oh, I suppose you two were waiting for me," Al Mualim told the two as he unlocked the door to his office, and opened it, "Do come in. And my apologies for being late, I was busy watching my stepson win a debate. Now then, what brings you two to my office?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Coffee Shop~ "And here we are," Discord told Alice, Yuri, and Blanca as they entered the coffee shop. "Hi there. I'll have a venti iced skinny hazelnut macchiato, sugar-free syrup, extra shot, light ice, and no whip," Discord told the barista. "Uhh, sure," the barista replied, scratching her head at Discord's complicated order, "Can I have a name?" "John de Lancie," Discord answered, using his fake name, "Oh, and get the orders for these fine folks as well. I'm paying for them." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital~ "Wow, that was quicker than I anticipated," Officer Jenny commented, "Better go talk to him." Doctor Hu nodded as Officer Jenny exited the emergency room. Going back to monitoring Hermione with Akira, Doctor Hu said, "Nice job handling the situation by the way. Akira... right?" Outside the emergency room, Officer Jenny noticed Philip and Kimberly waiting. "It was a good thing I found Hermione," Officer Jenny told Philip, "Turns out a member of the Crystal Order had her locked up in some abandoned shop not too far from here. I'm afraid to think of what would've happened to her if she remained in captivity longer. Not sure what the Crystal Order would want with her though..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Outside Modern History Classroom~ Spoiler: BGM Arriving at the entrance to the Modern History classroom, Riku checked to see if the room number on the door corresponded to the room number listed for 2nd period on his schedule. 'Looks like this is it,' Riku thought to himself as he was about to start his first class at Nintendo High School. Knocking on the door and entering, Riku found Billy and Dante, asking, "Excuse me, but is this the Modern History classroom? The name's Riku, I'm a new student." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Drama Classroom~ "Morning everyone," Max Goof said as he entered the Drama classroom and sat down, still wearing his ROTC uniform from the debate, "Hope you all got to see me singing the national anthem on stage. Politics or not, I do appreciate the amount of patriotism that goes with these events." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School Entrance~ Spoiler: BGM "Owowowow!" Eddy cried as he and Ed were dragged to Nintendo High School by Double D pinching their ears. Instead of crying from pain, Ed simply laughed, enjoying having Double D pinching his ear. "I can't believe you actually did that to me!" Double D cried, shocked to find out his Ed and Eddy tried to get him to skip school, "You should consider yourselves lucky that I'm not going to tell your parents about this!" "Ok ok, I'm sorry," Eddy replied, "I just wanted to avoid that boring debate." "And I remember telling you I didn't want any part of your plan to skip school!" Doube D said as he stopped dragging Ed and Eddy, having reached the school premises, "Now I suggest you two go to your class before you're tardy. We'll talk about this at lunch." 'Pfft, whatever, sockhead,' Eddy thought to himself as Double D walked towards his classroom. "Oh Eddy, please pinch my ear, please please please," Ed begged. "Here's something better," Eddy replied as he gave Ed a wedgie. "YAY!" Ed happily cried, strangely enjoying the wedgie he was given. "Well, time to go to Gym class," Eddy commented as he dragged Ed to Gym class by pulling him with his underpants, with Ed actually enjoying the "wedgie ride." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Shop Classroom~ Still wearing his ROTC uniform, Bulk Biceps entered the Shop classroom, thinking about how thankful he was for the debate, as it meant no Gym class first period, meaning no Will Smith annoying him. Sitting down, Bulk heard other students in the class mentioning how the shop teacher Sasori was one of the teachers taking part in the strike, and how a substitute teacher would be teaching them for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Biochemistry Classroom~ Rushing to the Biochemistry classroom from the auditorium, Roxas was relieved to see he wasn't late to his second period class.

"Don't mention it," Dick replied, "Anything for a good friend of Connor." As the two entered and sat down, Rue asked Dick, "So, finished last night's homework?" "Yup," Dick replied as he took out a completed worksheet, "Took a while, but I did it. And you?" Rue nodded in response, taking out her completed worksheet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Pokemon Battling Classroom~ As Professor Oak was in his desk getting ready for class, he noticed the door open, with Ritchie, a boy he was familiar with for years, enter with his Pikachu, Sparky... "Morning Professor Oak!" Ritchie said as he entered. "Ah, good morning Ritchie," Professor Oak greeted Ritchie, "I hope you're ready for battling, as we'll finally get to start with those today." "Sweet!" Ritchie replied, happy to start battling for the first time in years. "Pikachu!" Sparky added, feeling just as excited as Ritchie was. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Advanced Calculus Classroom~ Entering the Advanced Calculus classroom together, Luna and Loki noticed their instructor, Sully, sitting in front of his desk, drinking coffee. "Hey guys, have a seat. Class is gonna start shortly," Sully told Luna and Loki, who nodded and sat in their desks as instructed. "Don't know about you guys, but I think that debate was something amazing," Sully commented, as he felt that Harold Saxon, the candidate he supports, won the debate. Loki's views on the debate overall were mixed, while Luna felt underwhelmed by it, feeling that neither candidate did a good job debating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School Hallway~ "So the debate went along just as I expected," Vanellope commented as she and Xion were walking towards their English class, "Anyway, done with last night's homework?" "Yeah," Xion replied, "Though writing sonnets is no walk in the park." "I agree," Vanellope said, "I don't think I want to read any more sonnets after that homework assignment." "We'll be done with them soon," Xion replied, "We're supposed to be starting a new section soon." Entering the English classroom, Vanellope and Xion found the class half full, with Trixie and Gaston sitting in the corner, joking about the debate, and John Smith sitting in front of his desk while reading a newspaper... "Morning girls," John Smith greeted Vanellope and Xion. "Morning Mr. Smith," Vanellope and Xion greeted their English instructor back. "Have a seat, we'll be starting soon," Smith told them, with Xion and Vanellope nodding, and picking the closest seats that weren't taken. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: Mythology Classroom~ Reaching her Mythology classroom, Katniss asked Haymitch, "Hey Haymitch, think you can find my homework assignment in my backpack?" Opening Katniss's backpack, Haymitch looked through the different folders and books inside until he found Katniss's completed homework assignment for Mythology class. "Pikapika," Haymitch said as he took the sheet of paper out and handed it to Katniss. "Thanks Haymitch, you're a pal," Katniss told Haymitch as she grabbed her homework assignment and sat down. "Pikachu," Haymitch replied, blushing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Chemistry Classroom~ "Morning Eraqus, morning Axel," Connor greeted the Chemistry teacher and his TA as he took a seat. "Morning Con-man," Axel replied, "We got a little surprise for ya." "Huh?" Connor thought out loud, wondering what Axel meant by that. "We graded the quizzes from yesterday. Here's yours," Eraqus said, handing Connor a corrected quiz. looking at it, Connor was glad to see he got a perfect score on the quiz. "Nice job man. Looks like you got the material memorized," Axel commented as he tapped on his head. "Wow..." Connor said as he looked through his quiz. "Keep up the good work Connor," Eraqus told Connor as he patted him on his back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Robotics Classroom~ Entering the Robotics classroom, Xehanort sat on a desk, and found other students, which included Joshua and Clemont, ready for class to begin.

"Yo teach, what's this message we got about performing waaay earlier than we were supposed to?" Will Smith asked Yen Sid. "Have a seat, I'll explain more during class," Yen Sid replied. "Hah, I told you that he'll eventually explain it to us," Carlton told his cousin as they sat down. "You said that? Oh, guess your height was so small that your voice couldn't even reach my ears," Will replied, laughing hysterically after poking fun at his cousin's height, with Carlton simply looking at his cousin with a disappointed look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Algebra Classroom~ Entering the Algebra classroom, Beat found several students already inside (including Manon and her Chespin, Harry), waiting for class to begin, and the Algebra instructor, Alastar Moody, sitting in front of his desk, eating an apple. While Beat was glad the debate was over, he wondered if Algebra class would be any less boring. Noticing Beat slouching in his seat, Moody approached him, asking, "So, I assume you enjoyed the debate, Mr. Bito?" "BWAAH!! Don't call me dat!" Beat complained after Moody used his real name. "Haha, I was just playing with ya," Moody replied, laughing as he walked back to his desk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: History Classroom~ "Good morning, Sora," Thor greeted Sora as he entered the History classroom. "Morning, Thor," Sora replied as they sat down, ready for History class. Meanwhile, as Hiccup was heading to his desk, a voice called out to him... "Uh, Hiccup?" Sunset Shimmer called out to Hiccup. Noticing Sunset Shimmer, Hiccup approached her, and asked, "What is it, Sunset?" "Well, it's about Xehanort," Sunset Shimmer replied, "Have you noticed something... strange about him?" "Umm, not really," Hiccup replied, "He's a cool guy to share a dorm with. Really good at video games. Only thing that is remotely weird is how he never removes his right glove... though I assume that's just some fashion statement, and I respect that. Are you... alright?" "Y-yeah, I'm fine, really," Sunset Shimmer lied. "Well, ok. If you need anything, just let me know," Hiccup said, with Sunset Shimmer nodding her head in reply. As Hiccup went to his desk, Sunset Shimmer was thinking to herself that she must confront Xehanort sooner or later about what she discovered earlier in the morning. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Abandoned Factory in Osaka, Japan~ Eugene and Tuxedo Mask continued eavesdropping on the meeting between the Crystal Order members and the men from the black market, figuring it would be best to jump in when the meeting ends. "Over here, are the two dozen crystals you asked for," one of the men from the black market said as he opened a box, with the inside containing S-type crystals, "All scattered throughout Tokyo after the incident in Toshima." As Mewtwo and Syndrome approached the box to get a closer look, the box was instantly closed by the other man from the black market, with he and his partner both taking out their guns and pointing them at Mewtwo and Syndrome, saying, "First, the money. Then, you can get your precious crystals. Otherwise, we wouldn't mind blowing your f***ing heads off." Mewtwo got in a defensive stance, but Syndrome shook his head to Mewtwo, indicating that wasn't necessary. "Now now, we don't need to use violence guys," Syndrome told the men from the black market as he raised his arms, making it look like he was surrendering, "Why don't we just sit down, and discuss this like mature adults, eh?" "Okay, then how about this... new price... twice what we asked for?" one of the men said. "Hehehehe, you guys drive a hard bargain. But, I have an even better offer," Syndrome replied as he pointed his utility gauntlets towards the two guns, and zapped them, taking control of the guns using quantum energy, and making them levitate away from the hands of the men from the black market, shocking the two of them. "Now here's the thing gentlemen, when I go buy something, I expect that I, as a customer, am to be treated nicely, especially if I am to be a repeat customer. But I gotta say, your customer service is pretty lousy," Syndrome said as he made the floating guns turn around, pointing straight at the men from the black market, causing them to fear for their lives, "But, I don't exactly have the time to write up a bad review about you guys. So, maybe I can do that blowing heads off thing you suggested. I kinda like the sound of it." "No, PLEASE!" the men pleaded, only for Syndrome to make the floating guns shoot straight at the men's heads, killing them instantly. "Well, that's that," Syndrome commented as he relinquished control of the guns, causing them to stop levitating and fall straight to the ground, right next to the dead bodies of the men from the black market. Opening the box of S-type crystals, Syndrome gazed at the crystals inside, saying, "Well Mewtwo, we sure hit the jackpot. Better take 'em back to HQ." "Right," Mewtwo replied. Having hesitated on whether to interfere or not, Eugene and Tuxedo Mask looked at each other and nodded, figuring that now was the time to make their move... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 14: Flashback 9 Years Ago (March 31, 2004) / Abu Ghraib Prison, Iraq~ Spoiler: BGM Reaching the Abu Ghraib prison, Shay grabbed a rifle belonging to one of the Japanese soldiers killed in the C4 explosion, and reached the interior of the prison. Shay kept shooting at the Japanese soldiers that were shooting at him while taking cover to avoid getting shot. Once he reached the prison cells, Shay noticed all the prisoners looking at him, wondering if he was going to free them. Looking around, Cormac found a switch to unlock all the prison cells. Triggering the switch, the prisoners noticed their cells unlock, giving them all a chance to escape. "Yalla, ikhrojoo, ikhrojoo!" Shay yelled to the prisoners in Arabic, telling them to get out. Every single prisoner took the chance, and got out of their cell, with Shay pointing at the hallway leading to the exit, indicating where they needed to go. "WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?!" a familiar voice to Shay yelled from the other side of the building. Turning around, Shay found a man he never thought he'd ever see again... Entering the prison cell area from the other side was Chevalier, the man who shot Cormac months ago, accompanied by two Japanese soldiers. "Cormac... YOU LIVE?!" Chevalier yelled, shocked to see the man he thought he killed standing yards away from him. As the last prisoner escaped Shay stared at Chevalier without saying a word. "You two, kill that b*****d! I'm going to contact Odin!" Chevalier ordered the soldiers accompanying him as he left. "Yessir!" the soldiers replied. Spoiler: BGM Shay Cormac hid behind a pillar as the soldiers started shooting their rifles at him. "Give it up traitor! You're dead!" one of the Japanese soldiers yelled as they kept shooting. Realizing his rifle didn't have anymore ammo left, Shay took out a pistol from his pocket, and waited for the right moment to attack. Hearing the shooting from the rifles stop, Cormac figured the soldiers were reloading their ammo. Leaving the pillar, Shay ran towards the soldiers, quickly shooting them on their heads for an instant kill. 'Now, time to finish off Chevalier,' Shay thought to himself as he rushed towards the hallway where he last saw Chevalier heading. Running down the hallway, Cormac found stairs leading to the top floor of the building. Quickly climbing up the stairs, Shay reached a door labelled 'Communications Room.' Kicking the door open, Cormac found Chevalier contacting the closest Japanese military base via radio. Noticing Cormac, Chevalier grinned, and said, "You're too late Shay, they know you're alive." "I don't care. I'm just here to send a strong message to Japan," Cormac replied. "Well too bad you'll be dead before that happens," Chevalier said as he took out his sword, "And this time, I'll kill you for good!" Taking out his sword, Shay rushes towards Chevalier, and the intense swordfight between the former allies began. Whenever one was close to landing a killing blow, the other would quickly block it with his sword. Eventually, the two blades were locked with one another, with Chevalier and Shay both trying to get the upper hand. "Give it up Shay, you'll never win!" Chevalier said as the swords of both men were locked. "We'll see about that!" Shay replied as he shoved Chevalier forward and surprised him with a high kick to his face, causing him to turn back. Quickly grabbing a knife from his pocket, Cormac stabs Chevalier on his back with his knife and sword. Spoiler: BGM Collapsing to the floor, Chevalier looked at Shay with an angry look, saying, "We trained you well, traitor. You are an enemy... Odin will see you dead!" "What he and the entire Japanese army is doing in Iraq is wrong! The torture committed in this prison by b*****ds like you is ultimate proof!" Shay replied. "Who are you to judge?" Chevalier said, "You'll be surprised at the information we got by taking necessary measures to make those prisoners talk. Just like in Afghanistan, the Crystal Order... will fail. Hehehe... and you... will... also... fail..." Chevalier had breathed his last breath, and died right in front of Shay, who looked at his lifeless body silently before exiting the room.
