~A.I.M. Building~ Aldrich Killian was in his office with his son, watching the news report about Lex Luthor's death, and the Crystal Order claiming responsibility. "So, now that the boss of your competitor's dead... does that mean you get to buy the company?" Max asked his father. "Oh yes, I'm definitely considering buying LexCorp. It's gotta have some assets that could hopefully help out with completing Extremis," Aldrich replied. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo Harbor - Seafood Restaurant~ "You gotta be kiddin' me," Carter complained as he walked back to his seat while looking at a text message on his phone. As he sat down, Carter told Aerith, "Sorry 'bout dat. But I got a message sayin' dat one of da candidates for prime ministah, Lex Luthor, jus' got killed. Now, I'm off duty, so I don' have to do nothin', but damn, what da hell's goin on in this country? Again, excuse me for my ventin', it's jus'... police have so much pressure lately." "Your cheesecake," the waiter said as he brought cheesecake that was enough to be shared between two people. "Thanks brotha, I really needed dat," Carter told the waiter. Meanwhile, a few tables away... Officer Jenny got the same exact text message Carter got, shocking her just as much as Carter. 'Unbelievable,' Jenny thought to herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Vermilion City Gym~ "I will," Lt. Surge replied, "See ya!" After Erika left, Finnick, Raichu, and Adéwalé rejoined with Lt. Surge... "Raichu!" Surge's Raichu said as he climbed up to Lt. Surge's shoulder. "So, what was that all about, Dad?" Finnick asked his father. "Oh, nothin'" Lt. Surge replied, "Jus' Pokemon gym leader business. Dat's it." "Oh, ok. I understand," Finnick said as he left to take a shower. "Surge," Adéwalé said, "There will come a time when your son must know the truth." "I know Adé, I know... I jus' didn' think it'd happen now," Lt. Surge replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets~ "Alright, thanks," Darien said as he hung up his cellphone, speaking to Gaston's parents and telling them about the party. Darien, Connor, Katniss, Rue, Ritchie, Haymitch, and Sparky were getting closer to Peach's home, who was still groaning while being carried by Connor. "Well, Gaston's parents promised me that he'll be punished for the party," Darien commented "Anyway, I don't think we properly introduced one another. The name's Darien Chiba. I live at the apartment complex next to Gaston, so I've had a lot of experience with his antics in the past." "Heh, sorry to hear that Darien," Katniss replied, "The name's Katniss Everdeen. And this little guy's called Haymitch." "Pika!" Haymitch greeted Darien. "Nice to meet you Darien. I'm Rue," Rue introduced herself. "And I'm Ritchie," Ritchie added, "This Pikachu here is my good friend, Sparky." "Pikachu!" Sparky introduced himself. "And this girl's called Peach," Connor added, "She goes to school with us at Nintendo High School. As for myself, the name's Connor Kenway." "Well it's nice to meet you guys," Darien said, "Wait a sec... did you say 'Kenway'? As in-" "Yes, as in THAT Kenway, unfortunately," Connor interrupted Darien, knowing that he was about to mention his father, "You probably know my dad, Haytham Kenway, from the news. And for the record, no, I have never met him, and frankly, I don't want to, as the entire idea of the Crystal Order disgusts me." "Oh don't worry Connor, I never meant it like that," Darien replied, "Sorry if I brought it up." Sighing Connor said, "It's fine Darien. It's just... for as long as I can remember, other kids at school always made fun of me for that, calling me stuff like 'Terrorist Boy' and 'Crystal Order Spy' just because of my father." Hearing what Connor just said, Katniss felt really sorry for him. "You were called those names? That's awful," Katniss commented. "Katniss is right. The ones who called you stuff like that are jerks who can't appreciate the fact that you're a better person than your father and every other Crystal Order member," Darien added. Rue, Haymitch, Ritchie, and Sparky all nodded in agreement. Smiling, Connor said, "Thanks guys. I really needed that." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Gaston's Home~ Spoiler Approaching Sammy from behind, Trixie said, "Orrrr.... we could have ice-cream and pie right here and not have to go anywhere else. Seriously, who made you guys in charge?" "Thank you Trixie," Gaston thanked Trixie. Joining in the discussion, Eddy agreed with Trixie as well... "Trixie's right," Eddy added, "I really don't feel like going somewhere else for a party this late at night. I'd rather go to Super Weenie Hut Jr.'s across the street than do that. So how 'bout we continue the party we have here?" Others began nodding in agreement with what Eddy said, including a very excited Bulk Biceps... "YEAHH!!!!" Bulk yelled in agreement with Eddy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ~ Spoiler: BGM As Xehanort's corridor of darkness appeared in the Crystal Order headquarters, Xehanort and Vanitas came out of it, and the corridor of darkness disappeared. "Any other powers of yours I should know about?" Vanitas asked. "At the moment, no," Xehanort replied, "But I've been feeling my powers getting stronger, as well as having better control." "Ugh, you're so lucky that you turned out to be a Conduit. I wish I had powers of my own," Vanitas complained, "All I have is a crummy little weapon I built as a kid to terrorize my cousins called a keyblade." "A... 'keyblade'?" Xehanort asked. "Yeah, I heard the name one day while my parents were watching something on the History Channel," Vanitas replied. "I see," Xehanort said, "Well, we must see Al Mualim and tell him what we just saw." Vanitas nodded, and the two headed towards Al Mualim's office.

~Porta Vista Police Department: Pacha's and Kuzco's Cell~ As he was sleeping in his bed, Pacha heard Kuzco shivering in his bed. Despite the differences he and the member of parliament had, Pacha still felt sorry for Kuzco. Getting up from his bed, Pacha took out his poncho, and covered Kuzco with it, and went back to his bed. Noticing that he wasn't cold anymore, Kuzco woke up, and noticed Pacha's poncho on him. He then saw Pacha in his bed sleeping. 'He did this for me... even after what I said?' Kuzco thought to himself as he went to bed, wondering why Pacha did what he did. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Vermilion City Gym~ "I see," Lt. Surge replied, "Thanks for da advice Erika." Looking at Finnick with the others standing on the other side of the gym building, Lt. Surge remembered the day both Finnick and his sister, IF, were born, and the happiness that he had at the sight of his two kids. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~WWE: Smackdown Broadcast (Live from Tokyo Arena)~ As Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Kane, and The Undertaker stood in the ring, ready for their match, the announcer said, "And Introducing their opponents..." Spoiler: Entrance Theme After the sound of a firework played out, the Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray, D-Von, and Spike) came out from the back of the arena, and headed towards the ramp... "From Dudleyville, accompanied by Spike Dudley, weighing in at a combined weight of 560 pounds... Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley, the Dudley Boyz!" the announcer said as the Dudley Boyz walked on the ramp towards the ring, getting booed by the audience. The three looked at the wrestlers on the ring, staring at them for a few seconds before continuing to the ring. As they were on the ring, the referee stood between the two groups to prevent any sort of fighting before the match began. "And introducing their partners..." the announcer said, expecting Randy Orton and Edge to come out next... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Gaston's Home~ "Uh, excuse me," Gaston said as he walked towards Rosalina, not happy that she turned the music up when he was supposed to turn it down for Darien and Ron Burgundy, "I don't remember telling you that I wanted the music louder. And besides, how can this be called 'Gaston's Party' if it's happening somewhere else. As far as I'm concerned, this party's staying here." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Gaston's Home (Again)~ "Hey Dick, what'd I miss?" Connor asked as he sat down next to Grayson. "Quite a bit," Dick replied, "Stone Cold Steve Austin beating the crap out of Vince McMahon, Rated-RKO beating the crap out of some pizza delivery guy, and The Rock will be guest refereeing the match between Cena and Lesnar on Sunday." "The Rock? Wow..." Connor said, "So, the main event's starting?" Dick nodded in reply, and the two were watching when all of a sudden, they notice Peach land right next to them and Sammy, groaning in pain. "Peach?" Connor said out of shock, "What happened to her?" Looking at the hole in the wall her body created (and many other holes in walls behind the wall in the TV room), Dick had an idea of what happened. "I know what it is," Dick told Connor, "She's drunk. As simple as that. Probably made her powers go all crazy. If you ask me Connor, this party's messed up... and I LOVE IT! I'm not leaving until everyone else is gone!" Sitting back in the couch with Connor, Dick heard Rosalina suggest taking this party to her house. "Yeah, as if I'm gonna leave this spot," Dick said, "Sorry Rosa, but I'm staying here, and I'm gonna keep watching wrestling until it's over." Connor, on the other hand, was worried about Peach, and said, "Uhh, I think I'm gonna take Peach home. She really looks tired." "Alright bro, suit yourself," Dick replied. Carrying Peach on his arms, Connor headed to the exit, hoping nothing was seriously wrong with Peach. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Gaston's Home (Again x2)~ Katniss and the others noticed Connor carrying Peach and heading to the exit. "Is that... Peach?" Katniss asked, wondering what was wrong with her. Katniss and the others rushed towards Connor and Peach. "Connor, what happened to her?" Ritchie asked as he heard Peach groan. "She looks bad," Rue commented. "Probably had too much to drink," Connor replied, "But whatever it is, she needs to be back home right now." "I'll go with you," Katniss said. "Me too," Rue added. "Count me in as well," Ritchie said. "Pika!" both Haymitch and Sparky added, willing to accompany Connor. Smiling, Connor said, "Thanks guys." As the group headed towards the front door, and exited the building, they could hear very loud noises, which they assumed were from the party. "Wow, guess no one really does party like Gaston," Katniss commented as they headed to the street. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Gaston's Home (Again x3)~ Once Rosalina raised the music's volume, Darien shook his head, thinking it was Gaston who raised the volume, and said, "Ok. That's it. We're outta here. I am gonna call Gaston's parents once I get back to my apartment." "Right behind you, Darien my good man," Ron replied as he drank the last of his punch, and followed Darien. Passing by Serena (who was dancing with Haruka) on their way, Darien said, "Later, Meatball Head." "Heh, Meatball Head... good one Darien," Ron told Darien as they were nearing the front door. "It's a Colombian thing," Darien replied to Burgundy as they opened the front door, and stepped out. Hearing the loud noises, they assumed they were from the party. "Ugh, guess I won't be getting much sleep anytime soon," Darien commented. "Uh, Darien, is that girl ok?" Ron asked, pointing at Connor's group in the street, specifically, the groaning Peach. "Oh my God..." Darien said, running towards the group while followed by Ron. Once they reached the group, Darien had a clear view of Peach, instantly recognizing her as one of the ones who were in the Toshima battle on Tuesday, as well as one of the many names Nick Fury had as part of the Avengers Initiative... "What happened to her?!" Darien asked. "Probably had too much to drink," Connor replied, "We were taking her home." "Is that so? Well then, looks like I'm gonna have more to tell Gaston's parents," Darien said, "Mr. Burgundy, you can go on home. I think I'm gonna accompany them." Ron nodded and headed back to the apartment building. "You guys mind if I tagged along?" Darien asked. The whole group shook their heads, indicating they had no problems with Darien tagging along. "Great. Lead the way," Darien said as the group continued on their way to Peach's home. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ~Gaston's Home (Again x4)~ Xehanort and Vanitas noticed Bowser crash through a wall from the outside, and land on the floor in the empty hallway facing the corner they were standing on. "Bowser?" both said, wondering if the S-types were responsible for this. Then when Luigi crashed right next to them, the two noticed Shadow Mario appear. After Luigi kicked Shadow Mario, and the fight returned outside, Vanitas asked, "Was that... Mario?" "No," Xehanort replied, "His scent was... different. We must let our leader know about this." Pointing his hand forward, a corridor of darkness appeared in front of Vanitas and Xenaort. "What's that?" Vanitas asked. "A portal to take us where we wish to go," Xehanort replied. "Another power of yours?" Vanitas asked. Xehanort nodded, and said, "I just learned of it yesterday. All we need to do is go through, then we'll be at HQ." Walking through it, Vanitas disappeared, and was then followed by Xehanort, who also disappeared. The corridor of darkness then vanished away, leaving no trace of Vanitas or Xehanort ever being there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Gaston's Backyard~ Toothless was shocked when Pycho Green got out of the way of his plasma blast. But as the Psycho Rangers left, Toothless noticed Shadow Mario fighting against the others. Once it was just Mario and Luigi fighting him, Toothless decided to help out by shooting some of his plasma blasts towards Shadow Mario's direction.

Ok, I laughed so hard when: Spoiler Mockingbird was revealed to be Hunter's ex-wife. Also, Simmons is back... YES!!!
I'm pretty much the guy on the left right now. After disappointed by Mewtwo's absence, seeing him finally confirmed for an appearance makes me scream "MEWTWO CONFIRMED!!!!" Better late than never I suppose.
~Vermilion City Gym~ "Oh, right..." Lt. Surge replied, "Well, it's about Finnick. Now he knows that me and his mom divorced back when he was a baby. What he doesn't know is that he's got a twin sista livin' over in Tokyo. Earlier today, she actually called, askin' about a certain birthmark she and her brotha both share, the same birthmark I modeled the gym badge after. Finnick thinks it was just a prank call. But I was wonderin' if maybe it's time to tell him the truth... that he has a sista." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Harbor - Seafood Restaurant~ "Aww yeah, strawberry cheesecake," Carter said with excitement after Aerith ordered the dessert, "Could you wait just one moment, gotta go to da men's room." As Carter got up, he asked a waiter where the restrooms were, and was told where to find them, which involved walking past Officer Jenny's table... As Carter made his way to the restrooms, Officer Jenny tried really hard to cover her face with the menu, not wanting Carter to think she was spying on his date. Walking past her table, Carter stopped for a moment, thinking to himself, 'Was dat... Nah.' Continuing on his way to the restrooms, Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Carter didn't notice her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Olaf's Hotel Room~ While Olaf was in his room watching television, there was a knock on his door. "Come in, door's open," Olaf replied. Opening the door, Hans came in and sat next to Olaf. "Hey Olaf, what're are you watching?" Hans asked. "CNBC, getting the latest on the stock markets around the world. Did you hear that LexCorp's stock is taking a nosedive after Lex Luthor's death," Olaf replied. "Wow Olaf... didn't expect you to be interested in financial news," Hans commented. "I didn't expect to be interested in it either," Olaf replied, "Hey Hans... do you have any idea why Elsa ran away... and why she even kept her powers a secret?" "Well.... believe it or not Olaf, the world is generally not a friendly place," Hans answered, "To be more specific... people around the world who have powers, called Conduits, are generally shunned by others simply because of their difference. Now the world is more accepting of them than before... but true equality hasn't really been achieved. Even here in Japan, a place which has excelled in Conduit rights, is home to many bigots like the infamous priest Frollo, who calls those with powers as heathens. I think Elsa was afraid that others would think of her differently if they knew about her. But honestly, with or without powers, she's still a person with feelings, just like you and me, and pretty much everyone else on Earth and the universe. No one should be judged for how they look, what they believe in, what species they are, or on their unique abilities." Smiling, Olaf nodded, and said, "You're absolutely right Hans. I'm glad Anna's gonna marry you." Smiling back, Hans said, "Thanks Olaf, you're a pal." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Porta Vista Police Department: Pacha's and Kuzco's Cell~ As Kuzco and Pacha were lying in their beds, Kuzco asked, "So, how did your wife take the news?" "Surprisingly, she wasn't mad at all, and said that she can wait until I'm out of jail on Tuesday," Pacha replied, "Maybe then I'll take you to Tokyo by avoiding Route 6. However, I'll only take you if you promise to build that mall somewhere else." "Ugh, there we go again," Kuzco complained, "As if it was bad enough that I'll be missing the discussion on the proposal on Monday. You know, if only you were cool with the idea from the beginning, none of this would've even happened!" Sighing, Pacha said, "Okay, now look... I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I just think if you really thought about it... you'd decide to have your mall built somewhere else in Porta Vista." "And why would I do that?" Kuzco asked. "Because deep down, I think you'll realize that you're forcing an entire community out of their homes just for money," Pacha replied. "And that's... bad?" Kuzco asked. "Well, yeah! Nobody's that heartless... unless you count those Crystal Order jerks," Pacha replied. "Hmmm.... I don't feel any different... and you're still gonna take me to Tokyo," Kuzco said. "Wait, what? How can you be this way? All you care about is building that mall and filling it with a bunch of stores," Pacha replied with a disppointed tone. "Uh, yeah. That's what a mall pretty much is," Kuzco said, "Everyone else in Porta Vista will have an opportunity to work there and make some money. You're the only one that doesn't seem to be with the program, eh, Pacha?" Shaking his head disappointingly, Pacha said, "You know what? Someday, you're gonna wind up all alone... and you'll have no one to blame but yourself." "Thanks for that. I'll log that away," Kuzco replied, "Now, I'm only gonna say this one more time. You will take me back to Tokyo on Tuesday." Turning around in his bed to sleep, Pacha said, "Looks to me like you're stuck in Porta Vista. Because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back." Turning around in his bed to sleep as well, Kuzco imitated what Pacha said in a childish manner, making fun of him, saying, "Because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back. Me, me, me." 'He's never gonna change his mind,' Pacha thought to himself. 'How am I ever gonna get back to Tokyo?' Kuzco thought to himself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~WWE: Smackdown Broadcast (Live from Tokyo Arena)~ Standing in the ring, the announcer said, "The following match is scheduled for one-fall, and is a 4 vs. 4 Tag Team match. Introducing first..." Spoiler: Entrance Theme 1 After a few seconds of the music starting, Rey Mysterio, a Hawlucha who wrestles for the WWE, flew down from the top of the arena to the ramp, with a WWE Tag Team Championship belt around his waist, getting cheers from the audience. "He is one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions. From San Diego, California, weighing in at 50 pounds... Rey Mysterio!" the announcer said. Rey Mysterio walked down the ramp, waving at fans, and shaking the hands of excited fans. Climbing up the ring, Mysterio took out his championship belt from his waist, and held it high, and the audience cheered. "And introducing his partner..." the announcer said. Spoiler: Entrance theme 2 After a few seconds of the music starting, Eddie Guerrero, a good friend of Rey Mysterio who shares the WWE Tag Team Championship with him, drove from the back of the arena to the ramp with his lowrider, and the fans cheered loudly. "He is the other half of the WWE Tag Team Champions. From El Paso, Texas, weighing in at 220 pounds... Eddie Guerrero!" the announcer announced. Once his lowrider reached halfway between the ramp and the ring, Eddie Guerrero had a little fun, playing with the lowrider's hydraulic jacks, making the lowrider jump up and down. After a couple of seconds of doing that, Eddie stepped out of the lowrider, dancing to his music with his WWE Tag Team championship belt around his waist. Walking down the rest of the ramp, Eddie shook the hands of excited fans as well, and climbed up the ring. Taking out his championship belt from his waist, Eddie and Rey shared a brotherly hug with each other, and both held their championship belts high, and the audience happily cheered. "Introducing their partner..." the announcer said as the lights in the arena went dark... Spoiler: Entrance Theme 3 After a few seconds of the music starting, flames started appearing at the entrance to the ramp, Kane (known as 'The Big Red Machine' throughout the WWE), an Emboar who wrestles for the WWE, entered, walking through the flames... "From Nuvema Town, Unova, weighing in at 331 pounds... Kane!" the announcer announced. Kane slowly walked through the ramp, passing by Guerrero's lowrider, while being cheered by fans despite his intimidating appearance. Climbing up the ring, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio backed off. Standing in the middle of the ring, Kane summoned flames from the four corners of the ring, putting an impressive show for the audience. The lights then went back on, and looking at his two partners, Kane acknowledged his willingness to wrestle alongside them. "And the introducing the final member of the team..." the announcer said as the entire arena went pitch-black, and the audience cheered, as they knew what was coming next... Spoiler: Entrance Theme 4 After the first six gongs from the theme played, the entrance to the arena became foggy, and The Undertaker, winner of the Unova Pokemon League many years ago, and former master of Kane, slowly walked to the ramp, looking more intimidating than Kane... "From Nuvema Town, Unova, weighing in at 299 pounds... The Undertaker!" the announcer announced. The audience cheered loudly for The Undertaker, as he was a fan-favorite. As he reached the ring, The Undertaker slowly took out his hat while covering his face. Once his face was revealed, The Undertaker's eyes were solid white for a few seconds before returning back to normal. Stepping into the ring, The Undertaker looked at his partners, indicating he was willing to wrestle alongside them, including Kane, his former Pokemon (who for more than a decade, would go from being The Undertaker's biggest rival to a strong ally. But for now, they were allies). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Command Center~ "The being you speak of is the White Wizard, an old friend of mine," Zordon told Kira and Dante, "If he has told you to come here, then whatever threat you just faced may indeed be too tough to face at this time." "Aye-yi-yi... but what confuses me is that we never got an alert about an S-type presence," Alpha 5 commented as he was checking something on the computer, "That's strange... we can't get readings of any kind from where Kira and Dante came from. It's... almost as though someone's trying to make sure we don't find out about this S-type presence there by blocking the reception so that we don't do anything about it. I doubt it's the S-types... this looks more like the work of a non-S-type." Zordon pondered for a bit, wondering who was trying to make sure he didn't know of the S-type presence there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~CNN Live Broadcast~ Once the commercial break was over, the the screen once again showed Wolf Blitzer in the newsroom. "Welcome back to our breaking news coverage. A little while ago, the Crystal Order has just released a video claiming responsibility for the attack, as well as a few words from the organization's second-in-command, Haytham Kenway. Take a look," Blitzer said as the screen began to show the video released by the Crystal Order. The video starts out by showing the Crystal Order logo, with the words 'A Message to Japan and the World,' on the bottom. After that, the video then shows Haytham Kenway standing in a hill in an unidentified area... Beginning to speak, Haytham said, "By now, you must've heard of the death of Lex Luthor. I am proud to say that with our might, the Crystal Order was able to rid the world of this corrupt individual. Lex Luthor was the wealthy chairman and CEO of LexCorp, a company that has caused many atrocities around the world, designing weapons that kill innocent civilians, polluting our natural resources, and further widening the gap between the rich and the poor. And Luthor was attempting to be prime minister of Japan. In the Crystal Order's views, all candidates are corrupt and vile criminals who simply cause more grief than relief. That is the great flaw of the big lie known as democracy. Sheep need a shepherd, and without a shepherd, the sheep would be misguided and lost. Democracy removes the shepherd from the equation, and thus results in utter chaos. And yet the foolish governments of the world still continue with this lie, always promising that better things are to come, and yet nothing to come out of it. And the voters who always face issues keep going to the polls as though it will fix their issues. But I am here to tell you the truth. Democracy is a failure. It's a system that involves voting for candidates who are pretty much the same, and will only enact certain laws depending on who lobbies them. Only by having a shepherd will all corruption in the world finally end. We the Crystal Order, invite anyone in Japan and the world, to join us... fight for a better future... one where we are all finally living the life we wish we had. Only then will the world achieve world peace. Luthor was just one criminal who got what he deserved. But we will continue fighting for Earth, and we will achieve our goal." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spoiler ~Gaston's Home~ Spoiler As Connor and Katniss continued dancing with one another, Connor asked Katniss, "You sure you never danced before? 'Cause it sure looks like you're a pro." Smiling, Katniss replied, "I was gonna ask you the same thing." Smiling back Connor continued dancing with Katniss. After a minute or so, Connor and Katniss were laughing together, really enjoying the time they were spending with each other. Looking into each other's eyes, Connor and Katniss felt something special between the two of them. Both closed their eyes and were about to kiss, exciting Haymitch, who watched the two from a table. Just as their lips were about to meet, a voice said, "Oooh, Katniss is in looove." Aborting their kiss, Connor and Katniss turned around to find Rue, Ritchie, and Sparky laughing aloud. "Pika!" Haymitch said disappointingly, facepalming at the fact that the three ruined what could've been a special moment between Connor and Katniss. "Sorry about that guys, we were just playing around," Rue said, "Go ahead if you want, I promise we won't interrupt again." "Umm, maybe I danced enough," Connor said as he let go of Katniss's arms, "Don't you agree Katniss?" "Yeah," Katniss replied. "Anyway, I'm gonna go check on Dick. Be back later," Connor said as he went to see his friend. Katniss was feeling disappointed that what happened didn't go as she had hoped, and Rue, Ritchie, and Sparky were now beginning to feel guilty about it. "Uhh, Katniss, I really am sorry about that," Rue apologized. "Yeah, me too," Ritchie added, "We were just trying to joke around, that's all." "Pikachu..." Sparky said with a sad voice. Smiling, Katniss said, "It's fine guys. There'll be other times, I'm sure of it." "But, do you like him?" Rue asked. Thinking about it for a moment, Katniss replied, "I think I do..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Gaston's Home (Again)~ Spoiler As Xehanort and Sunset Shimmer continued dancing, Xehanort noticed Vanitas standing around. Needing to talk to him urgently, Xehanort told Sunset Shimmer, "I need to talk to Vanitas urgently. It won't take long." "Oh, ok," Sunset Shimmer replied as they stopped dancing. As Xehanort walked towards Vanitas, Sunset Shimmer was wondering what was going on with Xehanort... Once Xehanort reached Vanitas, the two nodded to each other, indicating they needed talk somewhere where no one would listen. The two then headed towards an empty corner of the building, where no one stood. "So, what's new?" Vanitas asked. "The mission's been aborted," Xehanort replied, "Some S-types appeared outside, and are fighting with Mario and Luigi as we speak. The superior instructed us to simply do nothing." "Wow, that's a bummer," Vanitas commented, "Guess I'll be breaking the news to Gaston and Trixie. Keep enjoying the party, I guess..." "I certainly will," Xehanort replied. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Gaston's Home (Again x2)~ Spoiler "... And that's why I won my 5th Emmy," Ron Burgundy told Max as he explained the story of how he won each of his five Emmy Awards while drinking punch. "You don't say..." Max replied, wondering why Ron Burgundy is even in the party, and why he just walked up to him and instantly started to talk about himself as though he knew him personally. Feeling a tap on the shoulder, Burgundy turned around and saw Darien standing in front of him... "Darien my good man," Ron greeted Darien, "I was just explaining to young Max Goof here about-" "Yeah yeah, that's great," Darien interrupted Burgundy, "But do you even remember why we even came here?" "Waitwait, don't tell me," Ron replied while Max slipped away, "Oh right, the loud noises." "Yup. I'm giving Gaston a few minutes to lower the volume. If he doesn't do it, I'll be calling his parents to let them know," Darien replied, "So enjoy your punch, but don't get too into this party. We'll be leaving once Gaston lowers the volume." "Gotcha," Ron Burgundy said as he took a sip of his punch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Crystal Order HQ: Al Mualim's Office~ Spoiler Entering Al Mualim's office, Izaya Orihara found Al Mualim sitting in his office with a very stern face. "You wished to see me Al Mualim?" Izaya asked. Al Mualim didn't say a word, simply staring at Orihara with angry eyes. "Is there... something wrong?" Izaya asked. Getting up from his chair, Al Mualim said, "For 25 years, the Crystal Order has been my life. There have been times of success, and times of failure. In order to achieve the goal of creating a new world order, I made sure that the successes far outnumbered the failures, and to avoid any failures at all costs. Usually, one would expect a failure for us to be due to our enemies interfering and trying to stop us, which would be considered as an attack against the entire brotherhood. On Tuesday however... a plan to influence public opinion through our puppet, Frollo, was almost ruined by someone. I wondered who it was that almost caused a failure for the Crystal Order that day." Izaya was beginning to nervously sweat, knowing where this was going. "After some hard work, we were finally able to trace the source of this interruption," Al Mualim continued, "And I'm looking at him right now." Al Mualim punched Izaya Orihara so hard that he fell to the ground, yelling, "YOU IMBECILE!" Feeling genuinely afraid, Izaya pleaded, "Al Mualim, please! I didn't know!" "You should know that as a member of the Crystal Order, you are not to interfere in any chaos that surrounds you unless it involves a mission! You almost ruined the chances of Harold Saxon gaining support throughout Japan!" Al Mualim angrily replied, "So here we are... but I have a problem. I can't seem to think of a suitable punishment for you Orihara. What do you suggest?" Izaya wondered if Al Mualim was serious about him choosing his own punishment. Before he could speak though, Al Mualim said, "I know what you deserve. A reward!" Getting up, Izaya was confused at what Al Mualim just said. "A... reward?" Orihara asked. "Indeed," Al Mualim replied. Just then, he grabbed Izaya Orihara by his neck, and held him up high. Spoiler: BGM "An ETERNAL reward!" Al Mualim added as his eyes began to glow, and a white aura surrounded him, "For acting against the Crystal Order's path towards its goal, you, Izaya Orihara, are a traitor! The punishment for treachery against the Crystal Order is DEATH!" "No, please, don't do it!" Izaya Orihara pleaded, not wanting to die, "Please forgive me. I won't disobey you again, I promise!" "Forgive you? Forgive you?!" Al Mualim replied, "No... forgiveness is a weakness Izaya. And the weak always lose. And I simply cannot afford to forgive, especially when the Crystal Order's goal is so close. Now then, HELL AWAITS YOU ORIHARA!" "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Izaya Orihara cried as Al Mualim sucked the life out of Izaya, decaying his body until all that was left of him were his bones and his clothes. "Pathetic," Al Mualim commented as he used his powers to levitate the remains of Izaya Orihara, and sent them flying out his door, landing on the bottom floor. Coming out of his office, Al Mualim yelled, "Everyone, take a look at the bottom! What you see is what's left of the traitor, Izaya Orihara! Let his death be an example for those who dare think of acting against the Crystal Order! Forgiveness will never be considered! Let that sink in!" As Al Mualim went back inside, some Crystal Order members who were at HQ saw the remains of Izaya Orihara, shocked that he was branded a traitor. Walking towards his remains, Dr. Warren Vidic shook his head... "Tsk tsk, what a shame..." Vidic commented as he watched Orihara's bones turn to dust. Grabbing Orihara's clothes and the bones-turned-to-dust, the doctor walked back to his room, intending to keep Orihara's remains as a souvenir for himself.
