With complete bias, I am definitely gonna go with Lea. Ever since CoM, Axel has been my all-time favorite character. I was so happy to see him resurrected in KH3D as Lea, but nothing could prepare me for the moment he summoned his keyblade for the first time. Just when I thought he couldn't be any cooler... BAM! He's got a keyblade, and the Axel/Lea fanboy inside me was screaming out of excitement, and I am really looking forward to see how he gets to use it in KH3.
~Hospital~ "Well, better let the guys at Narumi know that she's safe," Officer Jenny said as she took out her cellphone to text Philip. "Who?" Doctor Hu asked. "The Narumi Detective Agency," Officer Jenny replied, "Miss Hermione Granger here happens to be their landlord, and has been missing since Friday." "Oh, I see," Doctor Hu said, "Then yeah, you'd better let them know right away." ----------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Sidewalk~ "That certainly sounds like an affirmative 'yes' to me," Discord said after Blanca barked happily, "Well Ms. Elliot, feel free to follow me to the coffee shop." Turning around, Discord remembered Yuri, and figured he'd have to invite him too, even though he was rude to him earlier. "You too, Casanova," Discord told Yuri as he walked towards the coffee shop. ------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets: Officer Carter's Convertible~ There was an awkward moment of silence between Lee an Carter. Ever since Carter started driving, neither one said a word to the other. Noticing the rose Carter bought, Inspector Lee curiously asked, "What's the rose for?" "None of yo damn business," Carter rudely replied, "Why don't you tell me what your flower's for?" "None of your damn business," Lee replied back, mimicking what James said. "Hmph, fine," Carter said as he went back to focusing on driving, leading to another moment of silence between the two. After thinking about it for a bit, Lee decided to tell Carter what his flower was for, saying, "This lotus flower resembles the same flowers I would pick up everyday going to school when I was a child. They remind me of my home in China." After listening to Lee, Carter added, "I'm buyin' a couple different roses everyday to surprise Aerith with a bouquet I'm makin' myself." "Is she your girlfriend?" Lee asked. "Shut up," Carter replied. "You shut up," Lee replied back, laughing. Carter smirked, shaking his head, and thinking that Lee might not be a bad partner after all. -------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Abandoned Factory in Osaka, Japan~ As Eugene and Tuxedo Mask reached the factory building, the two peeked through a broken window, and noticed Mewtwo and Syndrome greeting the two individuals from the black market... "Ah, if it isn't Syndrome," Eugene commented, recognizing one of the Crystal Order members, "Real name... Buddy Pine. Has a tendency to hold a grudge for a very long time. As for the one next to him wearing a cape..." "It's Mewtwo," Tuxedo Mask said, recognizing the Pokemon, "The very Pokemon the J.I.A. tried to create... only to have him stolen from us by the Crystal Order." "You don't say," Eugene replied, "Well, it seems to me like he's a full-fledged member of theirs now." "I'm not interested in bringing him back to the J.I.A.," Tuxedo Mask said, "As far as I'm concerned, he's an enemy now." "I see," Eugene commented as he and Tuxedo Mask continued eavesdropping on the conversation inside the factory. --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 13: Flashback 9 Years Ago (March 31, 2004) / Near Abu Ghraib Prison, Iraq~ Walking on an empty sidewalk close to the prison he had set his eyes on while carrying the bag of C4, Cormac was waiting for a Japanese military vehicle heading to the Abu Ghraib prison to pass by him. After noticing nothing but civilian cars passing by, Shay finally noticed an armored vehicle heading in the direction of the prison. Pretending to want to cross the street, Shay waited for the military vehicle to pass by. Once it did, Cormac immediately placed the C4 explosive in the back of the vehicle, and crossed the street. Watching the armored vehicle reach the prison checkpoint, Shay began to count down in his mind, '3... 2... 1... and...' Suddenly, the C4 explosive that Shay placed on the armored vehicle exploded, severely damaging the security checkpoint area, and killing the Japanese soldiers that were standing watch. 'Now's my chance!' Shay thought to himself as he ran towards the prison... ---------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Auditorium~ After the two candidates discussed the the many topics that concerned citizens (which included the economy, national security, healthcare, and the environment), all that was left was for the candidates was to give closing remarks. "Cosmos, any closing remarks?" Wolf Blitzer asked the prime minister candidate. Clearing her throat, Cosmos began to speak, "Nation, I speak to you not as a member of parliament, not as someone you know from simply watching the news, but as a fellow Japanese citizen just like yourself, worried about the future of our country. Can we truly move forward, when so many events are telling us otherwise? The answer is really up to us to decide. We can sit around and do nothing, and hope that things will get better. But the harsh reality is that if we don't act, we'll the never see the changes that we wish to see. So I am stepping forward, with the intention of righting the wrongs of my country. And my question to the citizens of this great and proud nation... will you join me for a better Japan?" "And Mr. Saxon, do you have any closing remarks?" Wolf Blitzer asked Harold Saxon as he shifted his focus to him. Thinking to himself for a moment, Harold Saxon faced the audience, and began to speak, "Citizens... we stand at a crossroads. The choices we make are our own. We can choose to make good and bad choices, choices that we regret, or even choices that we're glad we chose. So I ask the proud people of Japan... what kind of choices have we made as a nation? Have they been good? Bad? Ask yourself the question. But remember one thing... making a bad choice in the past doesn't mean you can't fix it. I know... because that's what I plan to do, and to continue doing for as long as I live. And I humbly ask for you to do the same. Thank you, and may God bless this beautiful country."

Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Auditorium~ After the two candidates discussed the economy, the topic now moved on to national security, with Wolf Blitzer telling Cosmos, "Cosmos, next question goes to you. What do you feel is the appropriate way to combat the threats facing the nation of Japan?" "Well Mr. Blitzer, as a leader chosen by the people, the most important duty of the elected official is to look after citizens, as well as to make sure they're safe from any threat. Whether it be Abductor ships, or a rogue nation like North Korea repeatedly threatening to use it's nuclear arsenal against Japan. But one of the biggest threats facing not only the people of Japan, but the rest of the world, is the Crystal Order. For over two decades, that group has done nothing but spread terror to innocent civilians, demanding they accept their way of life. From their repeated attacks against our armed forces, to their heinous atrocities such as 9/11. And while they grow stronger everyday, we too must grow stronger as a nation with our allies. Only then will the Crystal Order finally be thwarted, and we can finally end this long war," Cosmos answered. Shifting his focus to Harold Saxon, Wolf asked, "Mr. Saxon, do you have a rebuttal?" "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do actually..." Saxon replied, "Now, I noticed that while Cosmos has brought up good points about the threats facing our nation, and how we must be able to stop them... I really would've liked to hear more details as to what she plans to do. Is it simply continuing Harriet Jones's policies for another four years? Because if that's what she means, then I, as the Interior Minister chosen by Harriet Jones herself, can guarantee that you won't see much change in fighting Japan's threats. As for me, I would make sure that none of the actions I take jeopardize the lives of citizens, as well as making sure to attack the enemy first before they attack us, making sure the people of Japan don't have to worry about any potential threats. And, if I become prime minister, I promise that I will find out who is number one in command of the Crystal Order, and I will follow him or her all the way to the gates of hell to capture and punish them for the crimes the terrorist organization has committed for many years." ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets~ After buying the lotus flower from Aerith, Inspector Lee exited the flower shop with Carter, who was looking at him with an annoyed look. "All of a sudden you speaking more than Chinese?" Carter asked Lee. "Well, I speak your language a little," Lee replied. "A little my ass. You lied to me," Carter said, mad that Lee didn't bother saying a word he can understand ever since he picked him up from the airport. "I didn't say I didn't. You assumed so," Lee replied. "Assume I kick yo little Beijing ass right now. I know you know dat tricky s***," Carter told Lee as he got in a fighting pose. "I'm not responsible for your assumptions," Lee replied, not wanting to fight Carter. "You full of s***, you understand that? You full of s***," Carter said. "Not being able to speak is not the same as not speaking," Lee replied, "You seem as if you like to talk. I let people talk who like to talk. It makes it easier to find out how full of s*** they are." As Inspector Lee smiled at his comeback, Carter was rather surprised, but still wasn't liking Lee. "What the hell did you just say?" Carter asked as he got back into his convertible while still holding the rose he bought, "So I'm the one full of s***?" "We both full of s***," Lee replied as he joined Carter in his convertible while still holding the lotus flower he bought. "You full of s***," Carter said as he started his car, and drove towards the street. -------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Sidewalk~ "Alice Elliot huh... I happen to have always loved the name Alice ever since I was a young boy," Discord responded, "You see, I was quite the 'Alice in Wonderland' fan when I was a kid." Noticing Blanca, Discord commented, "Oh, if you want, your dog can come along to the coffee shop too. They don't have a no-pets policy, thankfully." ------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Wal-Mart~ Misty (along with her Togepi, who was eating banana chips) and Brock met up at the local Wal-Mart to do some grocery shopping together, just as they would every Tuesday. "So, what's Marius doing?" Misty asked Brock, wondering about his roommate. "Watching the debate between Cosmos and Harold Saxon with his fellow Saxon supporters. I'd join... but I think I made it clear to him that I've lost all interest in the election. Plus, can't miss grocery day with you," Brock replied, "Anyway, what're you up to today?" "Well, I'm gonna be leading a tour of senior students from Nintendo High School interested in checking out Tokyo University," Misty answered, "Should be fun." "That's nice," Brock commented, "And what about Professor McDreamy? You keep dreaming about him?" Annoyed by Brock asking her about her crush on Professor Sycamore, Misty instantly punches Brock on his head. "OW, that hurt!" Brock cried. "Well you're gonna get more than hurt if you keep asking me about my personal feelings," Misty replied as she looked at Brock with a threatening look. "TogiTogi," Togepi laughed, enjoying what it just saw Misty do to Brock. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hotel: Tennis Courtyard~ "Alright guys, time to start the match. On your marks... get set... SERVE!" Hans said, indicating to Olaf that he could serve the ball now. "Hope you're ready for this, Anna!" Olaf yelled in a competitive tone as he threw the tennis ball to the air, and swung his racquet, sending the ball over the net and towards the right side of the courtyard, slightly away from where Anna was standing. ------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital~ After arriving at the hospital, Officer Jenny was heading straight for the emergency room after being told by a receptionist where Hermione was. Entering the emergency room, she found Akira and Doctor Hu attending to Hermione's injuries... "Doctor Hu," Officer Jenny greeted the doctor. "Oh, Officer Jenny, fantastic of you to drop by," Doctor Hu replied, "Do you know her?" "Yeah," Officer Jenny answered. "I see. We must be making a habit out of this," Doctor Hu said, referring to how Officer Jenny came to the hospital last week to ask Xion questions about how she got her injuries, "So, do you need to ask her questions like you did with Xion?" "No," Officer Jenny replied, "I actually know who did this to her. It was the Crystal Order." Freezing upon hearing Jenny mention the Crystal Order, Doctor Hu looked at Officer Jenny, and asked, "Really?" Jenny simply nodded, and Doctor Hu said, "Then thank God Almighty she's still alive." "Though the culprit's still out there," Officer Jenny added, "I think it's best she stay here until it's safe for her to go out." "I agree," Doctor Hu replied. --------------------------------------------------------------- ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 12: Flashback 9 Years Ago (March 31, 2004) / Coffee Shop in Abu Ghraib, Iraq~ Spoiler: BGM Having arrived a week ago to Iraq, Shay Cormac was ready to go ahead with what he had planned to get the Crystal Order to trust him. It was currently nighttime, and he was sitting in a coffee shop, drinking tea while noticing other customers watching the news on TV in Arabic, reporting on a recent scandal the Japanese Army was facing involving the nearby Abu Ghraib prison currently being used by the Japanese to imprison suspects accused of having ties to the Crystal Order. The scandal was basically a bunch of leaked photos showing Japanese soldiers torturing the prisoners and sexually harassing them. The customers who were watching the news were angry by what was happening, with all of them cursing at Japan in Arabic. Instead of focusing on them, Shay Cormac peeked at the inside of a bag he was carrying. Inside was a homemade C4 explosive he made himself upon arriving to Iraq. 'It's now or never,' Shay thought to himself as he finished his tea, and got up. As he left the coffee shop, Shay Patrick Cormac headed towards the Abu Ghraib prison... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Outside Abandoned Factory in Osaka, Japan~ As Eugene was taking part in a stakeout, hiding behind a broken wall while spying on an abandoned factory, he felt a presence approach him from behind. Turning around, he found the JIA agent who'd be joining him in his mission... "Agent Tuxedo Mask of the J.I.A. I presume?" Eugene asked Tuxedo Mask. "Yes," Tuxedo Mask replied, "And you're Agent GS of the MI6?" "Yes, but you can just call me Eugene," Eugene answered as he shook Tuxedo Mask's hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you Tuxedo Mask." "What's the situation?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "As expected, two heavily armed men from the black market have arrived at the factory, carrying a box I would safely assume contains crystals from Toshima," Eugene replied, "Now I believe they're waiting for their Crystal Order customers to arrive." Looking up and pointing at the sky, Tuxedo Mask commented, "Looks like they just did." Looking at the direction Tuxedo Mask was pointing, Eugene noticed two members of the Crystal Order fly towards the factory, and land next to the entrance, ready to meet with the individuals from the black market... "Right on schedule," Eugene whispered to Tuxedo Mask, "Let's get a closer look." Tuxedo Mask nodded, and followed Eugene as they quietly made their way to the factory while avoiding being detected by Mewtwo or Syndrome. ----------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tokyo University: Lecture Hall~ "The word 'engineer' stems from the Latin word 'ingenium' which means a talent, natural capacity, or clever invention," Professor Robert Callaghan lectured his morning engineering class. Meanwhile, slowly entering the lecture hall were Hiro (who was late for class), and his companion, Baymax... Quietly taking empty seats, Hiro and Baymax continued listening to Callaghan's lecture to his class. "While the roots of engineering are said to date even earlier than the Ancient Romans, it wasn't until 1716, when Louis XV of France formed a civilian engineering corps to oversee the design and construction of bridges and roads. That was when the engineering profession really started to take off," Callaghan said as he continued with his lecture, "Later, in 1747, Louis XV founded the first ever engineering school to train the members of the engineering corps, called 'Ecole des Ponts et Chausées.'"
No. They've already got a team. It just means they need additional help now that they got their UE4 engine up and running.

Interview with Hajime Tabata on the world map, airships, and differences with the XIII series: via GameSpot
Ok, so apart from Star Wars: Rebels, I haven't really cared for anything on Disney Channel in almost a decade, for obvious reasons (*cough*crappy live-action shows*cough*). This past weekend though, after stumbling on a positive review of 'Star vs. the Forces of Evil' on the A.V. Club, I curiously decided to check it out online, and well... catchy theme song, hilarious adult references, and a ditzy, lovable, Sailor Moon-inspired main character.... I guess I'm hooked, and look forward to future episodes of it, something I never thought I'd say about a Disney show. Fun fact, this is also the first Disney animated show to be created by a woman since 'Pepper Ann' way back in 1997. Now I'm not sure whether to be happy that Disney is finally airing a show created by a woman, or appalled that it took them 18 years since Pepper Ann to do that.
