~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. As he took a seat, Roxas overheard students entering the classroom discussing how the Biochemistry professor, Albert Wesker, was one of the teachers taking part in the strike, and that a substitute teacher would be teaching them instead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Nintendo High School: French Classroom~ "Thank you Dick," Rue told Grayson as he opened the door to French class for her. "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. Meanwhile, Xehanort was thinking about the way Sunset Shimmer was acting earlier during the debate, as he never saw her act like this before, wondering what caused her to act this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Music Classroom~ Yen Sid heard the door slam open, and in came Will Smith and his cousin, Carlton Banks. "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.
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.
