(We see Tom Servo barely floating as Mike and Crow are squatting real low...)
Mike: (Grunting) Hi...Welcome to the Satellite of Love, We've ratcheted it up to ten times earth's gravity to simulate King Kai's Training regiment underwent by Goku during the Saiyan Saga.
Servo: (Panting) And I'm outpacing you all by a country mile!
Crow: You look a bit winded, bucko?
Servo: Heh, I can fix that right there on the spot! Silvie, Sensu Bean?
Silver-Quill: SENSU BEAN! (Tosses a Sensu bean to Servo)
Servo: Thanks buddy! (Consumes the Sensu and collapses on the floor) AH! GOD! It made everything worse!

Silver-Quill: Got it!
Mike and the Bots are flung to the ceiling.

Host Segment OP
(Many groans were emitted, mostly from Mike and the Bots.)
Silver-Quill: Hey, guys. Welcome back... Needless to say, our training didn't exactly go as planned.
Crow: You can say that again.
(Enter a young woman of twenty-something with a thick purple head of hair, pink Voyager Era star-fleet uniform and blue eyes, the right of which has a green symbol on the pupil you'd probably look for in a power button)
Girl: I'll get it... And to think this was made from a screw.
Death of a Prince
Gojiro: One of twelve puppets claimed by the gods from an unknown race of masterminds whose purpose is to test universe after universe to see which worlds survive and which dont.
But the mechs require power to function...
Goten could not believe his eyes, He could only stare at his friend as his arm hung limp on each side, his eyes wide open and mouth agape.
"Hold on, you thought your Tsukasa was the Tsukasa in the lab?!" Exclaimed a dark-brown voice bug as it floated to the center of the cockpit, "You've really got to start thinking four dimensionally..."
"What kind of fool do you take me for, insect! I saw them spontaneously grow into existence right out of nowhere!" yelled a man with dark-blue hair, visibly in his late 20s and yet sounds like a monter of a man as he pointed to the six sisters in the red and gold-trimmed throne. "You need to tell me there's two Tsukasas responsible for this madness"
"Yes and No, there were two Tsukasas, but not anymore." smirked the brown bug as he floated right in front of the man's face. "The Tsukasa to blame played his part, just like the little prince back there."
After sacrificing the midichlorians in his body to ignite the mech at the expense of his life force. The saiyan prince Trunks passes from the earth, leaving his loved ones behind, rightfully scared of what the ridiculous system will choose as its next battery. And so It was recorded that their adventure would be written in blood shed from the tragedy and destruction of creation itself.
This is not their story.

What Goes Down in the PC
Chapter 89: Spin it!
Cress walks into the Narration platform and finds a piece of cake left by the One Named Light. He takes a bite when suddenly...
"Howdy Cressy!" Out jumped Maria in a game show host's getup with matching microphone, scarring the socks off of Cress who then replies: "Maki?"
"Welcome to Wheel of the Worst, we've got some wacky shenanigans on the wheel for you today, some old, some new, some borrowed, some Groose!" Maki sped before getting to the wheel, "Alright, Cressy, let's see what's on the Wheel Today: the Powerpuff Girls classic "I See A Funny Cartoon In Your Future", "Trouble by the Slice" of Power Rangers Turbo Infamy, Dancing Grannies: Mature Fitness for Beginners, Tree Stand Safety which needs no introduction..."
"No, it does not." Cress agreed.
"Up Next, we have the Pokehuman Fusion Physical Challenge from the last episode, as well as two new Features!" exclaim "The Mystery Box which has a random character, a random thing, or a map to a random place. Frug You, It's January That's where we sit down, watch a movie of low quality from Januaries Past, it also applies to late December, early February. Announcer, what's among the selection today?"
"A horrible excuse of a Robocop Remake, Maria!"
"Alright! That's got to be horrible, and these two features being horrible things that can happen to you in game, the wheel's probably destined to land on that instead of..." She rotated the wheel to... "The Shouji Tabuchi Show! The Most Anticipated Video of the entire three chapters the Wheel of the Worst has loomed over the PC."
"I have a feeling that everyone who anticipated this tape will regret it when we land this puppy. And by everyone, I mean us." Cress sighed as he stared at the tape.
"Alrighty, enough chit-chat, Let's get to the Gameplay!" cheered Maria as Cress spun the wheel, hopeful that the wheel wouldn't land on the purple key that activates the challenge of the Mystery Box... and wouldn't you know it: "Hi!"
That's exactly what happened
"Aw, Maaaaaan!" moaned Cress as a little girl with firey red locks popped out of the box in a lime green set of jammies. "I'm Muriel, I'm only 3 and a half years old, who are you!"
"How very nice to meet you, my name is mud..." the two kyuseigers said in unison before falling to the floor all anime-style and stuff, prompting a giggle from their new charge before she looked to the camera and said "Remember, Mud spelled backwards is dumb!"
It was a long wind back down from the Narration Platform, not because of the extra weight, Muriel didn't really weigh much, but because hearing Muriel talk was a literal chore! "I want to go to the candy store! I want to buy a toy! I want to watch TV! I want to go to the Zoo! I want to go swimmin'! I want a new doll! I want a new front tooth! I want a tea party! I want a party dress!"
"Tell me when we get to send her back." sighed Cress as they approach the PC floor. "Least it can't get too much worse..."
"I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'M HUNGRY!!"
"Son of a-" Cress kept his curse locked and merely sighed: "fffffffffine!"
Freya, Caitlyn, Tomoki, Serperior, Charizard, Luxray, Lord Helix, Leech King and Maria all sat with Muriel as Cress surved his favorite dinner to cook: Macaroni and Cheese.
He served a plate of his usual serving of the stuff (Extra Thick layers of cheese) to Muriel and her words were: "This stinks! I hate it this way!"
"Let me guess," asked the young lady clad in the crimson armor of the Leech King, "less cheese?"
"Less Cheese!"
"Ugh, let me handle this," moaned the Leech King as he took Cress' slotted spoon and a box of Kraft Cheese & Macaroni "You can go eat your serving in the back."
"Thanks, your highness..." blushed Cress as he went to sit in Leech King's usual spot.
The girl's quite the cook when you get to know her a bit better like Abe did. You can Imagine the surprise when her critic said: "More Macaroni!"
She was surprised she pushed it away without even tasting it, normally her cooking would have a memorable taste whether her kitchen experimentation was a taste sensation or gastronomic molestation. But this was one of her top ten signature dishes between a plate Krabmeat and potato skins and a serving of Spaghetti and Meatballs with Chicken Maranara. Shocked at this, Leech King tries again with Muriel's request in mind as she lays out her intended meal onto the plate of Lord Helix, the girl's response upon receiving her meal? "Less Macaroni!"
Confused, Leech King starts again, processing her new request and sending the bowl to Tomoki. With the next bowl done, Leech King recieved some bad news: "More Cheese!"
This irritated her somewhat as that meant taking over for Cress would become moot through her request, so she added slices of cheese and mixed it in with the meal, surely she'll like it like Lord Helix is enjoying the previous bowl, right? "More Cheese AND Macaroni!"
Irritation turned into rage as she walked back to the stove to cook YET another bowl for her as she's passed her food to Charizard. within minutes, the deed was done, and the food was cooked to the best of her abilities. Surely the little snot will like This? Right?!
"TOO MUCH MACARONI!" yelled the little girl, Triggering levels of rage matched only by the forger of the thousand-soul armor and million-soul saber himself, the Original Leech King. From the conquest of the Elite Four to this?! Where the hell did she go wrong in her life to go through such demeaning actions? Taking her fury and bottling it up, making sure to pour quite a bit of it into her cooking, Leech King brewed the best serving of Macaroni and Cheese she can and she made it in such an epic state of being, only one word can describe it.
"Ooh! Perfect!" Muriel took the plat and tossed it onto Cress' lap, Cress kneeling and screaming in pain upon the attack on gonads! "I hate Macaroni and Cheese!"
"GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!" this would be the last we hear of this girl as Cress slammed the lid shut on the Mystery Box for the night saying: "My advice, Never Land on that!"
"Scout's Honor!" swore Tomoki before he came up to the wheel and spun the wheel right then and there.

Nana: Seven of Seven Episode 26: Extra Credit Question - Will Nana still equal Nana in the future
Chapter A
A Third Floor?
It was the dawn of a new day, and naturally, Miss Nana Suzuki started the day the way she's done the past fourteen months: get outta bed, Get out her uniform and headed off to take a shower, eager as always to get through the day as inconspicuously as plausible when you've been splintered into seven young girls.
Seven young girls that are suspiciously quiet, she walked to the second door to her right, expecting a regular bathroom with the works, but was somehow greeted to an odd sight.
One that looked like the bedroom of another girl, someone eager to fight. With a weight-set, some mix CDs, and a poster or two advertising a film called: 'Highlander'. And the girl cuddling the Patrick Star Pillow on the bed was Nanappe!
"...mornin' Nana..." grumbled Nanappe as she got off her bed and went to the bedroom door... before she realizes that she now actually has a room! "Wha? Who changed up our room? and for that matter, where the shell are the other Nanas?" That question is then answered as quickly as it popped into their heads as one by one, each Nana popped out of a different room. All of them proper freaked that they each walked out from different rooms and peeped into each other's bedroom and noted the different themes of each bedroom.
Nanacchi's room was littered with toys, Lego, My Little Pony, Transformers and even some Skylanders and Disney Infinity here and there! There was a neat little laptop on her desk with a white fold-up chair nearby.
Nanarin's was quite the opposite, dark and plain as can be, with merely a dartboard to keep her entertained. There stood a wooden chair that wouldn't look out of place in a dining room as well as a futon on which she sleeps.
Nanako's room was pretty much what you'd expect. A bookshelf of Manga and Video Games, a flatscreen TV, laptop computer and a queen-size bed to make the Hikikomori paradise complete. There was no chair in sight.
The first thing to notice about Nanasama's new bedroom was the bookshelf. It had plenty of academic reads, textbooks, autobiographies, finely aged literature. Her chair was a deep crimson chair, the cover of her bed was striped blue, the walls had a pair of green stripes going through it.
Mere words could not describe Nanapon's implied taste in decor. Scented candles lined the room along with a wardrobe that acted as a perfect hiding spot for her. Her chair was a recliner that had a deep-dark shade of purple cloth.
"What is going on around here?" asked the Seven Nanas as they explored their new surroundings for a good minute or two before the Nanas were overwhelmed by a surge of Static.
Daemon
The next thing the Nanas knew, they stood in wide open throne room with a deep-dark purple and almost pitch-black sky contrasting the wide array of golden lanterns adorning the area as a welcoming light-purple face smiled on the seat behind the gigantic pendulum.
"You must be the Suzuki sisters, no?" spoke the angelic child in her graceful french accent.
"I...er... well, actually..." These were the only words the original Nana had time to stammer before the girl continued: "My messenger has told me all about you."
"M-Muh-Messenger?!" cowered the seven in shock of the possibility of someone watching over them.
"Yes, A messenger of ze word, one that exists beyond ze net, beyond ze web," the angelic child explained as she stood from her throne and walked about. "Even beyond your own home, ze realm of ze user."
"So what you're saying is, that this is the internet and that your messenger is a virus." Nanasama stated.
"You are half-correct." giggled the lady in purple. "Michael... Please make these seven a bit more... presentable..."
A crystalline square splashes into the room and then jumps back up revealing a goofy looking fellow who pretty much resembled a local anchorman in a white Elvis costume.
That's what the Nanas see, what we, the audience, see is a sentient 80s/90s television monitor.
"So you're the Sensational Suzuki Septuplets, eh?" Asked the bloke commonly named Mike by his peers. "Well, if the bosslady says ya gotta dress up a bit more, then I guess I'd be more than happy to oblige!"
Mike dragged the original Nana to a platform marked with a black and white icon. "This was lifted from another universe, just tap your feet onto the platform, think about what the situation needs, and say the word 'ReBoot' and let the digital matter it projects across your bod do the rest!"
"Okay... whatever you say..." chirped Nana as she tapped her feet together after stepping onto the platform and said: "ReBoot." Within a matter of seconds—at least, from Nana's perspective—a flowing blue dress was digitized onto her body with a mask artfully rendered onto her face. One by one, the Nanas all got on the platform and mimicked the moves their template made as they received the corresponding color-coded dress for each Nana. There were subtle differences for each dress, Nanappe's dress cut off at mid-calf while Nanarin's trailed an entire foot, Nanapon's sleeveless dress showed plenty of cleavage while Nanachi's dress covered both her chest and sported a fluffy set of sleeves doing so, Nanako's dress was layered to the brink while Nanasama's dress had nothing more than two layers to it.
"Wow... We look so pretty" chimed Nanachi.
"Love the gems on our gloves." complimented Nanapon.
"It appears to be fine tuned to our emotions, our likes and dislikes..." hypothesized Nanasama
"So, these dresses were made for each of us, huh!" simplified Nanappe.
"Wait until Yuichi gets a gander at us in this getup!" cheered the Seven Nanas in their usual unison. And twas then that the door opened as a man with orange hair and blue skin (complimenting the green hair and purple skin of the angel) and clad in a purple robe stepped towards the Nanas with a silver staff in his hand with a symbol on top similar to the crown atop the angel's head.
"I see you've retrieved the Suzuki Sisters from the realm of the users, my lady." spoke the man, "The Messanger has been waiting to meet them."
A God?
The seven girls walked towards a corridor lit with numerous purple hues. In the center of said Corridor was a gigantic entity in a skull-like mask typing up a sort of story on a plethora of holographic screens, the entity was clad in a dark-blue robe, white button shirt, pink sweatervest, light-blue capris and orange tennis shoes.
And mismatched socks.
"Oh, you must be Nana Suzuki." Spoke the entity, "It's good to see you again."
"Again?" yelped Nana, "You mean to tell me you've seen me before?"
"Right when you were conceived, I might add." Deus smiled, the girl rightfully panicked at the very thought of a peeping god watching over her parents' sexual shenanigans, but before she could get a chance to flee, the angel and her subordinate gaurded the only exit the Nanas had with their staffs (The Angel having changed her outfit into that of a japanese priestess) "Settle down, children, I wasn't talking about that moment in your parents' lives as much as I was extrapolating the nature of how souls are conceived."
The seven Nanas glared at the god.
"Getting the sperm to the egg is one thing, finding out what sorts of traits you could have is strictly another." explained Deus "Throughout the early months of your mother's pregnancy, the soul gradually pieces together certain traits from your mother and father's genetic ancestry at random, finishing off with the gender."
"N...no... You... can't really be-...!" Nana stammered before backing into another deity, this time a woman in white with as many gold and pink accents on her gown as was on her skeletal mask, smiling as she placed her enormous hand onto the smaller girl as the larger girl shrank to match that of the one who delivered the mortal girl into the world, giving said mortal a glimpse at the maiden's eyes. One that was once stricken with betrayal, and yet still saw good in every soul.
"Oh, Nana... Only a mother could bring a special young girl like you into the world." corrected the feminine god as she stroked the girl's hair, "In fact, tis only a mother who could birth the great cosmos itself."
"So what you are proposing is that you and this messenger act as the whole of creation's mother and father?" Hypothesized Nanasama in the background, prompting the goddess in white to walk over to other six Nanas.
"How very observant of you, Nanasama... No wonder you were influenced the most by your progenitor's wit." the goddess embraced the girl in the green dress, before she continued. "Your newfound existence is a miracle, and you deserve to live your own lives."
"But we've got months to live before we have to return to being one Nana." whined Nanarin.
"Oh, Poodle-spit to that, Nanarin... To prove it, I'll give you each a pass that allows you to access an alternate earth of my choice." the goddess declared before handing each of the girls a curious paper slip.
"Hey, this is just a bus pass!" complained Nanappe.
"Only to those who don't know any better." remarked the goddess. "But with this pass, you can access another world and meet all sorts of new friends and one day prove yourselves capable of independence, and you might find yourself a special surprise..."
The Nanas glared at the bus pass as the Nanas split up across the multiverse, failing to recognize the special gift the Goddess mentioned. "Excuse me, but we never quite got your name, good sirs and madams..."
"I am Daemon, martyr of ze inevitable." greeted the purple-skinned deity, "Daecon acts as my Prime Gaurdian."
"A pleasure to make an acquaintance with a user." spoke the digital lifeform before scowling to the seven: "I do hope for your sake that you honor the games our lady has organized with the messenger:"
"Deus Ex Machina at your service..." the god in purple took a bow before the deity in white rise. "Miru Nex Atomisa" she introduced.
"Hey, what's with the masks?" pondered Nanako, prompting Atomisa to begin the removal of Deus' mask.
"Well, Nanako, since you asked... Deus uses masks to hide our true existences from those unworthy of our support and our love." the deity sighed to the princess "Only going without in the case of any civilian escapades."
Clearly, I'm not gonna divulge the secret of Deus' face. But I am going to reveal Atomisa's and to be honest, Her face was that of your mother, for she had no face to call her own since it was taken from her by a lustful woman desperate to keep someone she loves in her own plaine of existence, but that is another story and shall be told another time.
"You look like..." spoke Nana in shock. Atomisa stepped forward to calm her, "Of course, It's the most relatable face you could imagine."
After explaining what had happened to her, Nanasama sighed to the goddess: "So not only do gods exist, but they can be harmed as well?"
"And perish of creative stagnance, like I am afraid Lord Tashlan is about to..." stressed Atomisa, worried for her master. Indeed, all gods answer to this Lord Tashlan for his existence as the Chronicle Emperor maintains existence itself. Without him to balance the cycle of creativity, The Nothing is free to ravage not just the realms of fiction, but reality as well... "It is extremely important that at least one of you tries living in the house my loving coworker has built for you in the other world."
"I'll go!" chimed Nanachi!
"Count me in!" added Nanappe.
"It's only gonna be a little while, m'kay?" Nanarin remind...
"Okay, but be sure to be back in time for supper!" The Nanas cheered. This agreement towards independence brought a smile to Atomisa's face, just wait until the Bodies of the Nanas begin to differentiate from one another.

How to Reboot Kingdom Hearts
Open
Roger: HOLY CRAP! Disney Infinity 3.0.'s gonna have Star Wars in it!
THiN CRUST: SWEET CABBAGE ON TOAST, HONEST-TO-CHRISTLER TRON FIGURINES!!
Luke: OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD! INSIDE OUT'S GETTING A PLAYSET!
(The three gossip and gossip until)
DeeP DiSH: Doesn't anyone care about Kingdom Hearts!? (beat.) Ever since the Advent of Disney Infinity, Kingdom Hearts has pretty much been treated like Chopped Liver by Disney Interactive, much to the ire of its fanbase, Myself Included. Sure, they allow series director Tetsuya Nomura the freedom do whatever the fuck the want to the original characters he created, dispite the Mouse having full ownership of said characters.
Roger: Wait, Disney owns the Kingdom Hearts OCs?
DeeP DiSH: Ya better believe it!
Roger: Huh, I did not know that?
DeeP DiSH: Now you know.
<Mike's Super Short Show>
DeeP DiSH: But all the jokes and Disney References aside, it's pretty safe to say that Infinity's taken a bite out of the market share Kingdom Hearts, and I believe there's an easy solution to this problem that can mesh the two marquee crossover franchises together like peanut butter and chocolate! This is How We'd fix Kingdom Hearts.
Supplementary Material: Cards against Creativity
Roger: Now, there's an unholy trinity of apathetic franchise-as-product details that provide an illusion of entertainment to those who can't find these specific faults, which makes the fans who do find these flaws all the more infuriating. The first major sin of storytelling worth mentioning is this whole mentality of: "It's all connected, Look at how clever I am!" throwing about themes aimlessly, reminding us that these themes sort of exist without actually knowing what you're doing and It just comes off as, well, a bunch of cloaked imbeciles reciting poetry.
Luke: This inevitably results in these plot clichés that merely exist for the sake of having more puzzle pieces for the fans to piece together, i.e. the whole 'Time Travel' shtick Terranort's Heartless pulled to rope the innocent Xehanort into the storyline and literally forcing him to go through with the evil schemes his Future Self will eventually commit, ultimately writing his destiny in stone and screwing the poor kid into the role of Series Villain!
DeeP DiSH: Don't forget the Racism!
Luke: Yes, the whole: "Dark is Scary, Go destroy it!"
THiN CRUST: The Second of these Creative Crimes would have to be Characters doing what they do because the plot commands them to. This is the most visible of the three notorious cancers of creativity within the bowls of Steven Moffat's Doctor Who. The Doctor needs to be reminded of the Ponds in The Snowmen, so Clara is told to say the word 'Pond'. The Doctor needs to be in one place despite being cornered by a monster, so he just appears in that place with no explanation. The Companions needs to stay with the Doctor, so they ignores their life calling back to them. The Baddies need to be defeated so they get defeated by "THE POWER OF WOOOOOVE!" In fact, that's my new least favorite trope, You're off the Hook, Mopey-Dopey Love Talk! Moffat wants the female companion to kiss the doctor, so she just does. All of the Doctor's Deceased Companions are revived as Cybermen, Just Because. People say Doctor Who in this series, Just Cause! Oh, wait a minute, we were talking about Kingdom Hearts, Right? Luke, could ya help me out and list examples?
Luke: Very well, but only if you shut up about Doctor Who for now...
THiN CRUST: No Promises!
Luke: <Examples of Kingdom Hearts Characters doing plot-relevant shit just because potatos.>
DeeP DiSH: Which brings us to the third and most especially heinous is the History Eraser Button. It has the power to pretty much wipe away any story from a specific franchise's continuity, it could range from a brief moment to a shoddy entry in a video game franchise to an unpopular season of a TV drama to the entire goddamn canon of the franchise overall! And what would happen in this new universe where the targeted media never happened? <Raven: Nobody Knows> Maybe something bad? Maybe something good? I guess we'll never know, Because its right there in your creative toolbox known as the human brain. <Ren: You won't touch it, will you?> However, what we do know about this fruity little nub is that fan reactions will pretty much amount to <GUAAAAAAHHH!!!!> Thank you!
Roger: Already we have seen both catagories of Connect-the-Plots: pointless symbolism made just to recite poetry—<Mickey's thoughts on the Darkness being scary>— And tossing in puzzle pieces from a completely different beast altogether! <Y. Xehanort: Hands off my new Vessel!> All of that sprinkled in with characters advance the plot because Potatoes! <Xion: It was my choice... to go away now.> But the question is: Have they pressed the History Eraser Button yet? <Elise: I don't care what happens to the world!>
Robin Gibb: No... no, they didn't.
THiN CRUST: Welp, after much consideration, contemplation, and the recitation of poetry, We here at Fandom Arson have decided for Step Zero to have Kingdom Hearts wipe the slate clean!
All: WHAT!
THiN CRUST: What the actual Hell, Mr. DeeP DiSH?! I thought you said it was a cancer to creative storytelling! And let's not forget you know how much I despise stories that wind up rendering other stories to have never happened!
DeeP DiSH: Well, do you have any better ideas? (beat) Yeah, That's what I thought! So we've all decided to pretty much take our chances with the Reboot?
Roger: Aye.
Luke: Aye!
THiN CRUST: Aye...
DeeP DiSH: Great, so let's eat!
Step Zero: Clean-Up on isle Arse!
(Cut to a sandwich shop called 'Kingdom Sandwiches: The Joint named for a Parody Fanfic'. Roger, Luke, THiN CRUST and DeeP DiSH are all sitting around the table with a menu on hand)
DeeP DiSH: Alright, so let's set the stage: It's Kingdom Hearts III, you're at the Keyblade Graveyard. Seven Hearts of Light, Thirteen Vessels of Darkness. With Sora having pinned Xehanort, the 'Villain' of the story initiates the ritual, with all seven hearts of light: Sora, Kairi, Namine, Roxas, Ventus, Xion and the Data-Sora from coded for some odd reason. And all thirteen vessels and all seven hearts combine into the x-blade which thrusts itself into kingdom hearts, releasing a demon which was controlling Apprentice Xehanort and later the Heartless Ansem who travels through time to fetch Kiddienort to carry out his elder self's evil schemes, forever etching said evil schemes into his destiny. And this fruity little demon's wish is to erase existence from existence as it is its directive as The Nothing... as in the Neverending Story Nothing, Just go with it, it'll be over faster...
Roger: This could take place as late as the final world or as early as the midpoint of the game, depending if Square Exix is greedy enough to pull a 'Deathly Hallows' and split it into two parts. Of course, this does negate Master Xehanort as the villain to hate in this franchise, but having the guy ultimately killed off by the Kingdom Hearts he sought out throughout this entire saga is pretty much a cats-in-cradle scenario which pretty much acts as a fitting cap to his story. <POETIC JUSTICE!>
Luke: Needless to say, Its up to Sora and a now liberated Young Xehanort to defeat this new monster and recreate a new world where everyone has light and darkness in equal shares. The two appear in Destiny Islands during the very moment Terranort's heartless would've picked up the boy, but since the Heartless in question has been aborted alongside the Xehanort we've pretty much grown attached to over the past 8 to 9 games, Both parties can't remember a thing, but an urge to go beyond this particular world is still etched in their heart, allowing the two to basically become Keyblade Masters alongside Eraqus, leading up the the Memoryless Sora—now having a different name than Sora as even that's been forgotten—telling the story of his adventure to Xehanort's Grandson Yoshio (Young Xehanort) before peacefully dying of timeline poisoning after a few decades of adventures in the past of a universe of perfect equilibrium.
THiN CRUST: And Naturally, the only characters that are qualified to remember the old canon would obviously be the characters from the Disney Castle world. Having, by far, the biggest role in the franchise, they more than deserve to stumble to the end of this train wreck of a saga completely intact! These characters would be a perfect way to pretty much ease incoming newcomers into the Kingdom Hearts franchise, And believe me, the X-Box One Grumps are obviously gonna need something to show 'em the ropes...
Step One: This is The World We live in!
(There are now Tortilla Chips in front of our heroes with Salsa to boot.)
DeeP DiSH: Which brings us over to the Disney Infinity aspect of the Kingdom Hearts Reboot. There will be two specific dimensions in this brave new Kingdom Hearts world, acting as a dividing wall between both factions of the creative forces at work. One of these two dimensions will be the magical world in which Disney Infinity takes place, populated by Toys and powered by Imagination. The hub dimension is pretty much an amalgamation of all the original worlds into a city in modern-day earth populated by Square Enix Heroes and Nomura's original characters-
THiN CRUST: which will be voiced by Disney's hand-picked voicecast and not the absolutely wooden actors Squeenix books like Mena Suvari, Mandy Moore you are not!
DeeP DiSH: Thank you for the ever-constructive comment, Boss.
Roger: Now, the thing about Disney Infinity is that it's been described as Skylanders meets Minecraft in that its elaborate world builder-the Toy Box-is pretty much the thing that fuels Disney Infinity besides the Playset Collect-athons. So, naturally, We're gonna have to rely on the Disney Infinity Toy Box design team to pretty much piece together the already plentiful array of worlds produced for the franchise as well as access to the faraway galaxy of the Star Wars franchise to Marvel's epicly-sized cast of over 9000 characters, complete with its own little version of the NYC!
THiN CRUST: Note to self, Tell Disney Infinity to include Jake Long in an upcoming wave...
Roger: Basically, the Disney Infinity world was a world where anything is possible, and for a young mind with raw imagination, that's something special. And the fact that you can have Captain Jack crossing swords with Gamora and Dash racing Lightning McQueen, Aladdin chasing a treasure against Star-Lord, Tinkerbell being the same size as Peter Pan, It's pretty safe to say that Disney Infinity provides the Disney Side of this new interpetation of the Kingdom Hearts universe as a world without limits
Luke: The other dimension, the Squeenix dimension, is on the other side of the spectrum. It is a simulation of the world we live in, a world that's basically nothing but limits, No wonder, no mystery, no sense of conflict, nothing to draw you deeper into the world since it's pretty much... real life. The only people who can do magic is those united by the Midnight Society. Named for a certain movie theater acting as the gateway to the Disney Infinity Universe-
DeeP DiSH: Which we shall call 'OZ' in the game as a nod to a certain book franchise that's recently entered public domain in recent years.
Luke: ...Riiiight. The Midnight Society is pretty much our story's the main circle of heroes.
DeeP DiSH: So that's a checkerboard wipe to:
Step Two: A Real Equestrian Hero
DeeP DiSH: Our Cast of Characters! The real meat and potatoes of the story. (Now there is a bowl of Soup in front of each critic) Now, the main thing about the Midnight Society is that they keep balance in the world by keeping the Heartless at Bay which have leaked into OZ thanks to the Reboot and is now trying to leak into the Squeenix dimension. The two founding members of the Midnight Society are Eraqus Capulet and Mugenaga Xehanort. The Absolutes he believes in being what's good and what's evil, as there will be villains on both sides of the spectrum.
Roger and Luke: Really!
DeeP DiSH: Yes, and I knew you'd be into that. We'll get to them in the next step but for now, let's focus on the heroes! Sora and Riku are relatively the same as are Terra and Aqua from Birth by Sleep, Wily little Kairi is pretty much boarderline hyperactive, inquisitive and sassy, often giving the boys a hard time. Roxas is more serious minded and cautious than older twin Sora, but he shares his brother's sweet side. By the way, Roxas is Sora's twin in this new canon due to the non-existance of Nobodies courtacy of the reboot!
THiN CRUST: Ah, that explains it!
Luke: Ventus is the most curious and excitable of the group, competitive and very sweet. Much more social and trusting of others than younger twin Vanitas, and he has a somewhat mischievous side added onto him since the darkness was not extracted from his heart, said mischievous streak often gets the lad into trouble. Speaking of Vanitas, he's much less social as previously stated and is easily provoked, but he has a gentle nature when comfortable or if he doesn't feel threatened.
Roger: Namine is more introverted than her sisters, Kairi and Xion. Hesitant to learn the ways of the Keyblade when those powers awaken at the beginning of the game but refuses to be separated from her sisters. She would prefer to just sit in her bedroom and draw or read but accepts the master's demands to hone her powers. Xion's quieter than Kairi, but more outgoing than Namine, Xion is highly interested to learn about her powers as a Keybearer and takes every opportunity she can to learn from the masters.
THiN CRUST: Lea's pretty much the Michelangelo of the Midnight Society and is prone to goofing off rather that focusing on his training. However he is still an impressive fighter. He still has the Immortality through memory shtick carried over from his prior incarnation, but it's all part of a facade he's pulling to mask his insecurity about himself and the fact that he has to keep the secret from Isa.
DeeP DiSH: And let's not forget the ensamble cast of Final Fantasy Heroes that you want to fight alongside the Disney Characters represented within the land of Oz!
THiN CRUST: That I do, good sir, so tell me: How do you want to incorporate those guys into the plot at hand?
DeeP DiSH: In the Squeeni-you know what, I'm just gonna call it Sphira, cause we all know it's an earth Stand-In so why not name it after one of the soon-to-be fifteen stand ins the Final Fantasy Franchise has immassed already?
THiN CRUST: ...good point.
DeeP DiSH: Now, in the Kingdom Hearts canon's version of Sphira, Two years have passed since an alternate version of Final Fantasy VII's nerfed storyline occurred where Zack survived the ambush courtacy of his heart growing a Keyblade and Sepheroth never went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs at the hands of Jenova's Mental Meddling, Eight Years have passed since Final Fantasy VIII's Squall Leonheart ditched SeeD, two years since the characters from Final Fantasy XIII gave a damn about the story of Final Fantasy XIII and Negative 9 months since Final Fantasy X's story began.
THiN CRUST: So, is it going to happen in the future?
DeeP DiSH: Do people care enough about Final Fantasy X for it to happen?
THiN CRUST: No... No, they don't
<Nostalgia Critic gives a Thumbs Up>
DeeP DiSH: The fights have been fought and the Midnight Society's members are scattered across the quiet metropolis of New Zanarkand. Aerith is now a High School History Teacher while Zack's engaged to Aerith and is regularly plants flowers near the grave of his friend Angeal, Cloud is roaming the land of Oz with Buster Sword in hand after his sacrifice to stop Jenova, Cid's doing fine as a mechanic and shopkeeper, Tifa's managing the Zanarkand restoration comittee, Leon's still distancing himself from his past as usual, Sepheroth is roaming Sphira to seek out Cloud who I remind you is in Oz, and Yuffie's out in the world searching for Treasure with the Gullwings...Full Sized, Obviously.
THiN CRUST: And as much as I hate to acknowledge Disney's recent habits, there's some trouble up ahead with how to utilize the live-action re-imaginings of Disney's Animated Canon, but we might have something figured out. Namely, we split the interpretations into two separate characters, the more radically different the Live Action version is, the more likely it is to split!
Roger: For Example, Cinderella's practically the same except for Helena Botham Carter, so Castle of Dreams is free to Cherry-pick which added elements It can take from that flick with minimal effort. The same cannot be said for Alice In Wonderland, since it couldn't be anymore different what with the unique world design, alternative interpretations, burtonesque quirks and—get this—a legitimate plot! <Shinji Screams> Sure, you could allow the Animated Alice to don the armor of her live action counterpart, but Burton's adaptation of the timeless classic pretty much spells it out for you! (We get a still image of the Animated version of Wonderland) Wonderland, (the screen slides to a still frame of the Live Action interpretation of Wonderland... or as Burton's vision calls it:) Underland, (slide to the Animated Wonderland) Great Classic, (slide to the Live Action Wonderland) Shit Remake, (Animated) Winner, (Live Action) Loser.
Luke: As for Maleficent, we'll fuse the dark side of Live Stephen with the Animated Version and have both sets of good fairies as separate entities for the sake of not pissing off fans of the original, Aurora will have some bits from her Live Counterpart, while Phillip will receive dick from his. Diablo will actually get the chance to keep his human form from the live re-imagining, which leads us to the big split. The Maleficent with the whole 'Defender of the Moors' shtick will be known as Maleficent of Light, while the Green Skinned mistress of all evil we've come to know and love will be known as Maleficent of Darkness!
Step Three: For the Evulz
THiN CRUST: And that's our segway into the part where we talk about the Villains of this revamped world! (Cut to see that the Appetizer has arrived) A common criticism of the Franchise is that it's basically light equals good and dark equals scary, go kill dark, save day, get girl, all that game-y stuff. So our solution is to have friendly faces attached to both light and darkness as well as our two sets of villains for the series. We start with the dark side obviously with Maleficent at the driver's seat, Pete being the second banana as is the case for him in the Xehanort Saga's canon. Oogie Boogie's gonna be on board since he loves the career he's good at: Scaring Kids Smegless. Davy Jones is gonna join up to prove his dominance over the seven seas, Loki will join merely to get even with brother Thor, and Jafar will-oh, wait... Robin Williams said 'No using my likeness, til decades after death'... huh... Hades will be a bit of a wildcard, apathetic towards the whole Villain shtick but basically needs to do it in order to get a little respect, kinda like his role in the Flick from whence he came.
Roger: I kinda see Frollo leading the side of light, glad to see that heroes are protecting Oz, but distrustful toward them for being outsiders. This results in him drafting aboard Eliza, an evil snow queen who was gonna be the villain for Frozen but then 'Let It Go' happened and knocked her onto the cutting room floor in favor of the Elsa we all know and love. Also among the folks who join his crusade are Echimites, which we'll get into in the Monster section of the discussion. Syndrome will clearly be aligned with this faction since he wants nothing but the glory! Ronan the Accuser is present on this side since, moral ambiguity or no, he still has a sense of Justice, more than I can say for the Koch Clan's plans to buy the Country <OOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!>
Luke: The two factions want Kingdom Hearts for their own purposes, Maleficent wants to seige control of both Oz and Sphira through the door to darkness while Frollo wants to wash away every last drop of the stuff with the Door to Light! Both are aiming for the x-blade which created this rebooted canon as it has been carried over from the old one and stored away where no one can find it! (cut to the x-blade in a glass box that reads: "IN CASE OF FINAL BOSS, BREAK GLASS!") And since the nothing's basically sealed within Kingdom Hearts, it's naturally up to the midnight society to prevent a successful exercise in futility.
DeeP DiSH: Now, to those who want to know how to fit Star Wars into this, Half the planets of the Galaxy far far away are managed by the Prequel Trilogy's Galactic Republic on the side of light while the other half have been sieged by the Darkness-aligned Galactic Empire of the original trilogy! Both are evil in their own ways, one side being openly evil by the usual 'blow up planets', 'kill all lifeforms', 'pollute the environment', y'know, all that evil stuff you'd probably do. The other side of the coin has the Republic being evil by pretty much being complacent in terms of its support of the Rebel Alliance. Sure, they've got the support of Jedi to mow down the Droids the Trade Federation spews out for the Empire, but in terms of getting things done, they're pretty much as lazy as the corporate-owned congressman! <OOOOOOHHH!!!>
Step Four: Do the Monster Mash
Roger: Speaking of Monsters that have no place in this world, The Monsters of Kingdom Hearts, the critters you need to beat with a stick! Heartless are more or less the same except now the Emblem Heartless exist right from the Get-Go cause that's a stain left from Terranort that's never gonna come off anytime soon. Only this time, they're refered to as Unversed as a nod to Birth by Sleep, and instead of stealing hearts, they feed off of negative emotions, hatred, racism, dispair, greed, gluttony, all that icky human stuff! They can be created out of Nightmares by powerful entities of darkness like Maleficent, Ursula, or any of the Sith Lords in the Star Wars Library of Characters.
Luke: These new Heartless will have some mooks that are more or less the same mooks from the original saga redesigned to fit the Disney Infinity Artstyle. Of Course, we will sadly have to limit the forms these Unversed take to recolors just so that the Concept Artists can have breathing room, We know the naked Heartless are sticking around, there's no way we'd avoid 'em they're basically the Goombas of the franchise! Soldiers and Mages are a fixture as well as well as the Large-Body mooks. But we need Unique Monsters from the Unversed side of the action!
|Discuss the role the Heartless and Unversed Play in this new universe|
DeeP DiSH: The new 'Mons on the block are known as Echimites, Lingering Ghosts orphaned by the reboot and made flesh as monsters. To sum up, they're the unadded extras that you were supposed to encounter in the games if it wern't for those meddling hardware limitations! They're basically going to be taking the role of Nobodies all the way down to the mooks the humanlike ones regularly generate.
Step Five: A Tale under Lock and Key (The Story)
(The Ice Cream Treats have arrived for our fruity little club.)
Roger: And now comes the point where it all clicks together, the plot of the story! Let's pick up at New Zanarkand where Sora, Riku and Kairi are socializing with their backup friends from the original game as well as the characters we mentioned in step two of the operation, The Destiny Islands are a public nature getaway that's free to just about anyone who has a boat. The original trio want to traverse beyond New Zanarkand with a raft just like in the first game but somethin's afoot when Sora discovers a shadow peeking through his TV screen, he loses sleep over this and dials up Riku and Kairi, noting that none of their friends from the city are picking up the phone, he sees the heartless again looking in the fridge, it flees from the house and Sora gives chase all the way to the House of Mouse, a Cinema Complex in the middle of Main Street with Eight regular old Movie Theater Screens with the ninth being this Pretty Cool Nightclub with the screen that acts as the doorway between Sphira and Oz! Sora and Company re-unite at the House of Mouse and follow the shadow heartless to the ninth theater where there's a whole swarm of shadow heartless that charge at our heroes but as luck would have it, Keyblades appear in their hands and they go at it as usual!
Luke: Things get alot more dicey when a Darkside Heartless pokes its head from the Screen, alluding that the screen is a portal to another world. The Boss Fight Goes as you'd expect and the Darkness is dragged back through the portal, taking Sora and Company along with it. Our heroes pop into Oz's Corresponding House of Mouse in Traverse Town and it's populated by Townspeople in Costumes. Yes, there's a house of mouse here, too. But since Disney Castle still exists with its royal court precisely intact, Who's going to run the House of Mouse? Characters from Final Fantasy IV and VI, of course! The Manager of this fine establishment will be FF6's Terra, renamed Tina because of a One-Steve Limit for the name Terra. She welcomes our heroes to Oz and pushes them to look for the King, follow the yellow brick road and all that. So they venture the open world landscape of Oz which, I remind you will be built by us Toy Box Imagineers.
DeeP DiSH: And on the way out, you can talk to an apathetic Lightning from FFXIII who's stuck as a receptionist at the House of Mouse just like with Gunpei Yokoi after the Virtual Boy.
THiN CRUST: Y'know... I honestly can't think of a more fitting punishment for any other character from that god forsaken game.
Roger: Me Neither!
DeeP DiSH: And, Since the Land of OZ-
THiN CRUST: You know what, Disney's been so addicted to Oz that it isn't funny anymore! Can we choose an alternate name?
DeeP DiSH: C'mon, Boss! I really want Disney to have the rights to that Movie so bad!
THiN CRUST: Phantasma it is!
DeeP DiSH: D'oh!
THiN CRUST: Now, this is a tendative concept, as in: Not really tangible at the moment.
Outro
(Their plates are now piled up)
THiN CRUST: And there ya go, That's our honest-to-god pitch for a story-driven Disney Infinity experience as represented by a Reboot of the popular Kingdom Hearts series. I hope guys enjoyed it and I hope one Johnny V takes a good look at it and sends it over to Nomura so we can walk towards a more marketable future!
DeeP DiSH: But there's one major detail for the world of Oz to fly as a concept, That's where you come in! I have started a new project on ToyBoxImagineer.com to build the Land of Oz
Luke: Hold on, so in your script, you have Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker in a Joker/Batman type relationship.
THiN CRUST: Yeah, why wouldn't we?
DeeP DiSH: World without limits, remember?
Roger: Well put.

Chapter 1: Another World
Of my Blood
My name is Jade.
That's what mom called me the minute she saw that she birthed a spare.
All my life, I kept my elder twin Jess out of trouble whenever there was a big mess made, At least... until our tenth birthday.
Then we kinda, drifted apart...
Now, don't get me wrong, we still get together for the usual rounds of Mario Kart and Smash Bros. every now and then, but between me working my ass off with part time jobs to support my Let's Play Channel as well as Jess' online career on DeviantArt earning her plenty of fans and friends, we've kinda been drifting apart. The only thing we've had in common was our pets, Fluffernut and Tidbit. and even then Tidbit wasn't as spry as he was when we brought him home and I knew deep down that Fluff would be gone in a flash one day.
And we wouldn't know what was wrong until it was far too late to save her.
I rode my bike to school like I usually did because someone's got to set a good example for Jess in terms of fitness. (Hell, it's a miracle I managed to get her slimmed down from the 186-pound loser she was back when we were fourteen.) and I sat through our usual classes.
I took Biology, She took Literature. I took algebra, she took economics. I took Video Production, she took Art. The only classes we shared together were PE and, as of tomorrow, homeroom.

Mainly about Wolves
The Blue Spirit
(Cut to the escapees running, Aang passes the Blue Spirit.)
Aang: Stay close to me!
(The third gate is closing in front of them, as are the two beyond it, and it is blocked by many soldiers. Aang airbends a blast of air that blows them out of the way. Aang makes the gate, but the Blue Spirit gets involved in melee and has to stop. Aang turns to see his liberator in trouble. He grabs a spear from a guard near him, airbends him out of the way, breaks the head off the spear and launches back into battle to save his new friend. The gate closes behind him. The Blue Spirit is surrounded, but Aang airbends them all out of the way. With a mighty effort he then catapults his liberator to the top of the third wall. He is instantly surrounded, but Aang appears using his staff as a helicopter blade. He plucks the Blue Spirit off the wall and heads into the next courtyard. Cut to a close up of Aang struggling to keep them aloft. The Blue Spirit uses his swords to knock the spears sent up at them by the guards. They barely next the top of the next wall as they crash unceremoniously onto the battlement. Aang's staff goes spinning away as guards instantly rush them. Aang runs for his staff, but a guard stops him, taking several swings at Aang with his sword. The Blue Spirit throws the guard over the wall. Aang then airbends the other guards off the wall. Cut to a wide shot of the second wall, where more soldiers are brings scaling ladders. Aang the Blue Spirit knock off the soldiers as they reach the top. With two mighty blasts, Aang depopulates the two scaling ladders nearest him as the Blue Spirit knocks the one final soldier off his. Aang brings over his two scaling ladders and steps onto the one his liberator has just emptied. He hands one ladder to the masked man.)
Aang: Here, take this. Jump on my back!
(The Blue Spirit complies and Aang begins to use the ladders as massive stilts, shedding one each time a step is taken. Cut to a wide shot of the second courtyard where dawn is approaching in the background. The first ladder shed still had some Fire Nation soldiers on it, but it falls in the dust.)
Aang: Gimme the next one!
(The Blue Spirit again complies. Cut to the bottom of their final stilt where a Fire Nation soldier sends a gout of flame up the ladder. It is too late though, as Aang and the masked man jump from the last stilt and just manage to grab the edge of the final wall. They are unable to hold on, however, and fall to the ground. The Blue Spirit draws his swords. Four firebenders unleash their flame on them, but Aang puts the masked man behind him and airbends the flames away.)
Zhao (initially from o.c.): Hold your fire! (Cut to Zhao) the Avatar must be captured alive!
(The Blue Spirit instantly comes up behind Aang and crosses his swords in front of Aang's throat. Cut to a view behind the escapees that pans right slowly, accenting the stand off, then cut to the implacable blue mask of the intruder. Cut back to a close of Zhao's eyes.)
Zhao (through gritted teeth): Open the gate. Officer: Admiral, what are you doing? Zhao: Let them out, now!
(The gate is opened and the Blue Spirit backs out with his captives, swords still at his throat. Cut back to Zhao, the officer questioning him still visible over his left shoulder.)
Officer: How could you let them go? Zhao: A situation like this requires... precision.
(The Blue Spirit continues backing away from the fortress. Zhao now looks on from the top of the main gate. Cut to an arrow being strung on a bow by an unseen soldier, then cut back to Zhao, who looks to his right as he speaks.)
Zhao: Do you have a clear shot?
(Cut to a Yu Yan archer, who doesn't respond, but lowers his head in preparation for his shot.)
Zhao: Knock out the thief. I'll deliver him to the Fire Lord along with the Avatar.
(The archer releases his arrow, which the camera follows across the field to its impact point on the Blue Spirits masks. Cut to a side view of Aang and the Blue Spirit as the masked man collapses backward in slow motion. Aang turns in horror, his eyes glazed. He recovers, turns around and airbends up a huge cloud of dust around him and the Blue Spirit. Cut to Zhao.)
Zhao: Quick! Recover the Avatar!
Awakening
(Cut to the main gate opening and a crowd Fire Nation soldiers emerging and running towards the dust cloud. Cut to inside the dust cloud, where Aang removes the Blue Spirit's mask to reveal Prince Zuko. Aang starts back in horror, he falls backward on the ground. He jumps up and runs away, but then turns to look at Zuko, his eyes huge and full of compassion. He sees the Fire Nation shoulders getting close through the smoke. Still, he hesitates. When the dust clears, however, the soldiers find nothing. The crossroad where Zuko had fallen is now empty. Cut back to Zhao looking insanely angry. A frog hops up onto the railing, “ribbits”, and hops off. Fade to white, then a blurry shot of a forest looking straight up into the canopy overhead. It is morning. The screen pans down to Aang sitting on a nearby root, the view is still blurry. He looks forlorn. Cut to Zuko, whose view we were clearly just seeing. He looks a bit dazed still.)
Aang (from o.c. at first): You know what the worst part about being born over a hundred years ago is? I miss all the friends I used to hang out with. Before the war started (cut to Aang still looking down at the ground), I used to always my friend Kuzon. The two of us, we'd get in and out of so much trouble together. He was one of the best friends I ever had (he turns to face Zuko) – and he was from the Fire Nation, just like you. (Cut back to Zuko still looking at Aang.) If we knew each other back then (cut back to Aang), do you think we could have been friends too?

Chapter 3: Another Destiny
The Cave
(The comet enters the cave, briefly illuminating it from inside. Cut to Aang, still bound on the cave floor. His tattoos stops glowing and Aang wakes up. He struggles briefly against his bonds, then sits up to face Zuko.)
Zuko: Welcome back. Aang (threateningly): Good to be back.
(With a mighty breath, he blows Zuko against the wall while simultaneously propelling himself out of the cave and into the open. He begins to grunt as he moves forward, caterpillar style, along the ground. Zuko enters the frame and grabs him by the collar and lifts him up.)
Zuko: That won't be enough to escape.
(Appa appears over Zuko's head.)
Aang: Appa!
(Appa lands and Zuko drops Aang in the snow. Katara dismounts Appa to face him again.)
Zuko (assuming a firebending stance): Here for a rematch? Katara (beginning to waterbend): Trust me, Zuko, it's not going to be much of a match.
(She blocks a fireball that enters the screen just as she finishes her sentence while Sokka and Yue look on from Appa's saddle. She sends a shock wave of ice hurtling towards him. When it reaches Zuko, she encases him in a pillar of ice that she raises up high, then drops. Zuko falls to the ground unconscious. Sokka runs over and cuts Aang's bonds.)
Sokka: Hey! This is some quality rope! Aang: We need to get to the oasis! The spirits are in trouble!
(Aang gets up and runs to Appa. Both Sokka and Aang get onboard, Aang at the reigns. They are ready to go, but Aang stops and looks over at the Prince.)
Aang: Wait, we can't just leave him here. Sokka: Sure we can. Let's go. Aang: No, if we leave him, he'll die.
(Aang jumps down, grabs Zuko and brings back to Appa.)
Sokka: Yeh, this makes a lot of sense. Let's bring the guy who's constantly trying to kill us!
(Appa takes off, then cut back to the black and white fish circling each other in the pool. A pair of hands reaches into the frame. The right one grabs the white fish. It struggles, but the hand forces it into a bag held by the left hand. Cut to Zhao standing up holding the back. The moon, visible behind him over his left shoulder, colors over a blood red while the fish struggles in the bag.)
Yue
(The show returns to a close up of the blood red moon. Cut to a pan shot of the back third of the city. The blood red light washes over it. The counterattack against the invaders falters as this happens. Shift to Pakku still riding his water tornado as the blood red light sweeps over him. As it does, his tornado collapses. Cut to another waterbender whose water whip disintegrates as the light changes. In another part of the city, a war rhinoceros is getting washed away, but the force driving the wave vanishes as the light turns red. The soldier on the war rhinoceros is once again able to advance on the waterbenders who flee in panic. Cut to a line of Fire Nation soldiers who fire volley after volley in unison.
Shift to Appa flying silhouetted against the red moon, then cut to Yue holding her head in pain in Appa's saddle.)
Princess Yue: Ugh... Sokka: Are you okay? Princess Yue: I feel faint. Aang (his hand on his head as well): I feel it too. (Aang's looks up) The Moon Spirit is in trouble. Princess Yue: I owe the Moon Spirit my life. Sokka: What do you mean? Princess Yue: When I was born I was very sick and very weak. Most babies cry when they're born...
(Yue's story takes over here and we see a little baby with black hair all bundled up.)
Princess Yue: ...but I was born as if I were asleep. My eyes closed.
(Cut to a wider shot of the baby resting on a table, surrounded by healers who try their art to try and save the child.)
Princess Yue: Our healers did everything they could. They told my mother and father I was going to die.
(A younger Arnook holds a beautiful, but devastated dark haired womanly tightly. Cut to Arnook looking up to the Moon, praying.)
Princess Yue: My father pleaded with the spirits to save me... (scene shifts to the sanctuary where Arnook, his wife and the baby stand by the pool) ... that night, beneath the full moon, he brought me to the oasis and placed me in the pond. My dark hair turned white, I opened my eyes and began to cry – and they knew I would live.
(The story ends, and the shot fades back to the present.)
Princess Yue: That's why my mother named me Yue, for the moon.
Red Moon
(Cut to a shot zooming backwards of the red moon. Underneath its light basks Zhao and his entourage by the pond in the oasis.)
Zhao: I am... (raising his fist to the heavens) a legend now! The Fire Nation will for generations tell stories about the great Zhao who darkened the moon! They will call me Zhao the Conqueror! Zhao the Moon Slayer! ZHAO THE INVINCIBLE!
(At this moment Momo jumps onto Zhao's head and starts pulling at his face and chittering.)
Zhao: Huh! Get it off!
(Momo flies off as the guards surround Zhao to help him. He lands on an outstretched arm – Aang's arm. Appa has landed and the kids square off against Zhao and his men.)
Zhao: Don't bother!
(A close up of Zhao zooms backward to show Zhao holding a knife or sword to the bag with the Moon Spirit in it. Aang drops his staff and raises his hands in surrender.)
Aang: Zhao! Don't! Zhao: It's my destiny... to destroy the Moon... and the Water Tribe. Aang: Destroying the moon won't just hurt the Water Tribe. It will hurt everyone – including you. Without the moon, everything would fall out of balance. You have no idea what kind of chaos that would unleash on the world. Iroh (from o.c.): He is right, Zhao!
(Cut to a wide shot, that shows Iroh, Aang and Zhao in a triangle around the pond.)
Zhao (in a bored, lecturing tone): General Iroh, why am I not surprised to discover your treachery?
(Cut to a close up of Iroh who lowers his hood.)
Iroh: I'm no traitor, Zhao, the Fire Nation needs the moon too. We all depend on the balance.
(Cut to Zhao, still holding the weapon to the bag, then back to Iroh who points a finger at Zhao and thunders...)
Iroh: Whatever you do to that spirit I'll unleash on you ten-fold! (He assumes a firebending stance) LET IT GO, NOW!
(Iroh and Zhao lock eyes for a moment, then Zhao falters, lowering the bag. He kneels and releases the fish back into the water. The red light of the moon vanishes, replaced by its normal color. Cut to a close of Zhao's face which is quickly overtaken by a look of madness and desperation. With a cry of rage he stands and smites the water with a blast of fire. The frame rate slows as the fire blast passes Iroh, who recoils in horror. Aang and Momo's face is briefly illuminated by the fire. The Avatar looks up to witness the moon wink out of existence.
Iroh springs instantly to the attack. Crossing the foot bridge, Iroh fires blast after blast. Zhao blocks one blasts and backs away while Iroh expertly dispatches Zhao's four guards. Zhao looks on in horror as his men are wiped out by the aging General with such ease and precision. He flees.
No Hope
Cut back to Iroh standing over the guards who struggle to get up, then back to the pond where the black fish swims frantically and white, a huge gash in its side, floats. Iroh gently lifts the white fish from the water, an expression of sadness on his face. The guards are now gone.)
Princess Yue (on the verge of tears, Sokka's hands on her shoulders): There's no hope now. It's over.
(Cut to Aang, who's sad expression turns to determination as his eyes and tattoos glow white. His Avatar Spirit speaks through his mouth.)
Aang (voice deep and other-worldly): No, it's not over.
(Cut to a wide shot of the five. Aang walks forward into the pond. Katara moves to follow, but she is stilled by a motion to halt from Iroh. Cut to a profile shot of the four, Katara, Iroh, Yue and Sokka looking at Aang. He stands in the middle of the pond, arms in prayer. He looks down at the black fish, whose eyes and white mark on his spine begin to glow white. Aang is then seen in profile, his feet in the pond which now glows bright white. Then he drops into the pond as if the bottom had fallen out of it and he disappears.
Cut to an overhead shot of the oasis. The water in the pool around the oasis itself begins to glow a deep blue veined with white. As the effect spreads, the shot cuts to a view of the citadel area behind the third wall. The glow spreads from behind the citadel to encompass the entire citadel area of the city. Cut back to the four who look with wonder at the awesome power coming to life before them. A huge, incandescent blue wave rushes under the footbridge as if some huge creature were moving underneath it. Cut to an overhead of the sanctuary. Appa stands on the oasis, but he is dwarfed by the creature that rises from the pool, the citadel and the city visible beyond it.
The blue, white veined creature is a huge fish like being. At its center is a blue white bubble in which we can see Aang, who spreads his arms wide. A moment later, the Ocean Spirit, for this is truly he in communion with the Avatar, duplicates the motion. Cut to a wide, long shot of the Ocean Spirit from the p.o.v. of Fire Nation soldiers who stand in front of the last wall. The Ocean Spirit towers over the citadel, it's arms still spread wide, it's blue spirit lighting the city like a beacon. The Spirit begins to move down into the city. Master Pakku and his waterbenders instantly bow to the floor in honor of their god. Across the canal, some Fire Nation soldiers raise their spears in defiance, but are swept away by a wall of water sent by the Ocean Spirit. Cut to Aang inside the body of the Ocean Spirit, flailing his arms about, directing the power of the Ocean Spirit against the violator's of the Moon Spirit and the Water Tribe City.
Fire Nation tanks fire blasts of fire at the Ocean Spirit, but they are absorbed with no effect. The soldiers and tanks are washed away as if they were toys. The Ocean Spirit passes by the Water Tribe citizens who make obeisance to their lord. Cut to the Fire Nation army in full retreat, trying desperately to escape the vengeance of a living Spirit. The Ocean Spirit reaches the main canal in front of the third wall and melts into it.
Blue Spirit
Cut to Zhao running over a foot bridge somewhere in the city. He exits onto a parapet an is almost hit by a blast of fire that hits the wall in front of him. As the smoke clears, Zhao looks up to see Zuko on the wall on the tier up above him.)
Zhao (incredulously): You're alive? Zuko: You tried to have me killed!
(Zuko launches a few fire blasts at Zhao with a cry of anguish, but his target dodges, rolling along the parapet wall.)
Zhao (with much venom): Yes, I did. You're the Blue Spirit – and enemy of the Fire Nation!
(Cut to a wide shot of the two facing each other. Between them is the panorama of the city. The Ocean Spirit's essence travels down the main canal in the background.)
Zhao: You freed the Avatar! Zuko: I had no choice!
(Zuko continues his attack firing volley after volley at Zhao, who breaks them with his hands held together in a wedge in front of him. As the blasts subside, Zhao drops his smoking cloak to the ground.)
Zhao: You should have chosen to accept your failure – your disgrace! Then, at least you could have lived!
(Zhao returns fire. They trade volleys as the fight rages back and forth in the darkness. At one point Zuko is able to exploit a moment when Zhao leaves his chest unguarded. Zuko blasts him and Zhao falls off the parapet wall onto the tier below.
Giving Back
Cut to Iroh placing the dead Moon Spirit fish back into the pond, then to a view of Katara and Iroh looking with concern into the pond.)
Katara: It's too late. It's dead.
(Cut to a profile shot of Yue, Iroh and Katara mourning the passing of the Moon Spirit. Suddenly, Iroh looks up at Yue in wonder.)
Iroh: You have been touched by the Moon Spirit. Some of its life is in you!
Princess Yue (looking up): Yes, you're right. It gave me life.
Wooldoor: And there's a perfect, non-lethal way to give it back: Dismemberment! Wheeee! (Chops off Yue's sandwich-eating arm and watches as it tumbles into the pond. Yue then gets up and goes to the pond's edge.)
Sokka (Grabbing Wooldoor by the shoulders): You monster, Why would you want to hurt her!?
Wooldoor: I had to, she has to give up something with her life signature on it.
Princess Yue (holding his hand behind her, but looking down): He's right, Sokka... After all, It's my duty.
Sokka (from o.c. as the camera shows a close up of their clasped hands): Then why would you agree to this? Your father told me to protect you!
Princess Yue (looking up): This is what needs to be done.
(The frame rate slows as she releases his hand. She walks to Iroh, who holds the dead fish in his hands. She puts her remaining palm over her severed hand, moving it over to the Moon Spirit which begins to glow. The hand in the pond dissolves into nothingness...)
Purity
(Cut to a shot of the outer wall where the Fire Navy ships try desperately to flee. The bowsprits raise quickly as the ships back out. Cut to an overhead shot of the water outside the main gate. The incandescent blue of the Ocean Spirit flows out past the city wall in front of the Fire Navy fleet. The Ocean Spirit reforms and, towering over the fleet, reaches out. He pushes two ships back out to see at amazing speed. Cut to a close up of Aang in the bubble making a slicing motion. Cut to a shot of the Ocean Spirit making the same slicing motion and making a razor cut through the bridge tower of Zhao's flagship. The cut section slides down to the foredeck and the ship's forward trebuchet is wrecked. Cut to a wide shot of the Ocean Spirit standing over the fleet. The Spirit raises its arms, forming a huge wave which upends many vessels and pushes the rest far out to sea.
The scene shifts back to the Weirdies as Sokka holding Yue in his arms as she bled from her missing arm. The fish in Iroh's glows and he drops back in the water. It begins to swim in the pond. The pond glows white as they look on and a ghostly aura rises from it. It coalesces into Yue's form, but dressed in white. Her hair floats around her. Cut to a close of her face, then a profile shot of her and the others. She addresses, Sokka, her voice now echoes and is other worldly.)
Moon Spirit: Your hearts are strong, children... And for that, I thank you....
(The form fades away, but in the sky, the moon shines bright.
Cut back to a pan left shot of the Ocean Spirit standing at the city walls. The Ocean Spirit looks up to see the moon alive once again. Instantly, Aang begins to wilt inside the creature, which dissipates into the ocean. The Spirit's essence flows back to the wall and deposits Aang atop it. There his glows leaves him as he puts his hand to the side of his head, spent with the effort.
Cut back to a long shot of Zuko and Zhao continuing to battle on a foot bridge over a canal. They trade blows, but a series of direct hits from Zuko lays the Admiral flat. As Zhao tries to get up, he sees the moon over Zuko's shoulder.)
Zhao (in horror): It can't be!
(Cut to a long shot of the bridge. The essence of the Ocean Spirit approaches fast and coalesces around the bridge. It grabs Zhao and begins to pull him off the bridge. Zhao struggles and Zuko reaches out for him.)
Zuko: Take my hand!
(Zhao tries to reach for it for a moment, but then draws back, an expression of hate on his face. The Ocean Spirit drags Zhao under the water and disappears.
A New Dawn
Healing
Chief Arnook (wistfully): The Spirits gave me a vision when Yue was born. I saw the moon spirit, only her etheral form was...different. A beautiful, brave young woman was holding her hand as it dissolved into a mask to reflect her courage... and her sacrifice... (Closes his eyes) I knew this day would come. Sokka: You must be proud. Chief Arnook: So proud.

Episode 8
Chapter 22
Cross the Country
It was chilly as always in Denver... Four local boys were merely playing some hoops when suddenly...
CRASH!
an odd flying vehicle crushed the boy in an orange parka into a bloody, lifeless pulp as out stepped a rightfully grossed out Inspector Gadget, "Oh, My! Messy, Messy, Messy,"
"Oh, My God! He killed Kenny!" cried the kid in the brown coat.
"You Bastards!" roared the kid with the green hat.
"Now, Now, It was just the Autopilot's GPS system that offed him." stammered Gadget,
"Yeah, and I'm a -Insert Gadgetmobile role here-," snarked the front bumper of the Inspector's vehicle. "I mean, C'mon! Do you even know how to drive?"
"Your banter is unnecessary, Gadgetmobile and it is not helping!" complained the bad driver in question "The point is: I'm not one willing to kill, he was just... kinda in the way..."
"Like hell, it is!" barked the big-boned fat kid of the group, "What the Fack's going on that you feel the need for just pimping in like 'dat!"
"As a matter of fact, the Strategical Homeland Investigation Enforcement and Logistics Division sent me over from San Fransokyo to investigate the whereabouts of the Black Behemoth's Pilots, all that we know is that the results set up is classified information." extrapolated Gadget, "You don't happen to have a giant black robot out here, do ya?"
"Well, judging by the fact that all three of the attacks have been in San Fransokyo's Tri-State Area, It's more likely for them to buy a vowel than have a clue if you catch my drift." Replied the Gadgetmobile.
Family
It was the usual afternoon routine dispite plenty tremors as Carl Frederickson cleaned the desk while Ellie cleaned the windows, and who did she spot in the yard but her dear child Ventus.
"Why, Ventus! Welcome home!" chimed Ellie as Ventus made his way to the porch. "Did you have fun with your friends?"
"Sure did, Nana Ellie." smiled Ventus as he opened the door and let himself in, eager to see what she made for dinner. Running to the table to find a plate of Spaghetti and Kelbasa, He sits down and calls his foster parents over.
"So, what did you do at School today?" asked Ellie.
"Well, I read a book on Robotics at the library today." Ventus sheepishly spoke. "It was about history, though."
"Oh, chin up, Ventus." smiled Ellie, "There's always an adventure in every book."
"Yeah, but not every one is worth my attention..." moaned Ventus.
"Come on, Ven, you've got a big field trip coming up tomorrow..."
---
Time passed and Ventus closed his social accounts before he took his usual midnight shower, seeing as how he would no longer need them after his battle. After getting himself dried up, he glared at the mark on his lower back.
A javalin with wings.
To Die
"So I'm gonna die after defeating the next one of those things?!"
"You and around a dozen others..." Clearly Koyemshi's words couldn't quell Ventus' fear.
"In other words, Anyone of us will be left behind in a ditch six feet under when we head to Solitary?" Hikoi exclaimed
"W-we're being punked, right?" panicked Kako.
"I ain't joking, twerps."
"So that's how Sarah died..." sighed Moji in shock, "The fall wasn't the cause so much as the effect..."
"Geez, this is heavy..." Maki sighed before asking the group: "I mean, 'midichlorians'? Come on, really?!"
"Yeah, But they're both dead..." added Chizu, "Sarah-chan, Tomoki-kun, and soon...Ventusu-kun."
"O-Okay, Okay! You guys are totally not helping!" cowered Ven.
"WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DIIIIIIIIIIIE!" cried both Freya and Caitlyn as they hugged one another.
"Guys, just... calm down, alright?" Nicole pleaded, desperate to avoid seeing her young cousins cry in fear of the possibility of an emminant death.
"So, I could die at any moment just like Tomoki?" muttered a frightened Anko.
"Wuh-What are you talking about? I'm sure we'll be perfectly fine!" smiled Maki "I'm sure we'll work this out somehow."
"Hey, remember when Deus said MZ uses our life forces to function?" proposed Kako, "We'll be fine in the Kyuseiger Suits, we'll just take 'em down outside MZ! And, Ven, this means you don't have to move her a single step!"
"Whoa, Really?" perked Ven.
"Are you nuts! Kodama had a hard time just breaking our fall!" howled Marco, his eyes having a serious 'don't touch my stuff' glare going down, "Do you think the suits can handle this kind of pressure?"
"Probably not..." sighed Moji, "In fact, that 'perfect' plan of yours probably isn't an option."
"Bingo!" piped Koyemshi as he warped in front of the faces of quite a bunch of the Kyuseigers "Run all you like, But no matter how ya little runts slice it, It's always the same. Once the battle starts, you have 48 hours to slag your opponent or POP goes the universe! And I'm pretty sure Deus and his entourage wouldn't like that, now, would they."
"So it's not just earth, but the universe as well..." mused Kodama.
"The tardy one seems to be catching on pretty quick" snarked the floating voice bug.
"Well, someone has to bring logic to the situation this 'Multi-Dimensional Diversity System' roped us into." Kodama snarked back. "By the way, I take they would also level our universe should any of us slip up?"
"Yep! Either you die saving the universe or you take the whole thing down with ya!" declared Koyemshi, "One or the other, pick your poison!"
Naturally Komo fainted from the shock, prompting Maki to go and cushion her fall.
"Plenty of your foes could take you over to their turf instead of the pilot's current location." Koyemshi remarked, "Either way, It's best that you slag those beasts as fast as you can."
"You little smeghead!" barked Kako in rage as he lunged forth to the Voice Bug in vain.
"Whoa, there! That's quite a little temper tantrum ya got going down there," sneered Koyemshi, "Why waste it on me when you can use it to control a fancy new toy that allows you to sacrifice yourself for your friends! I think that can make everybody happy, don't you?"
"If that's what saving the earth actually means... Then I guess it's worth a shot..." spoke a quiet voice that had been present since the camping trip.
"Yeah, I don't see the problem, either..." peeped another silent voice, one that was heard loud and clear throughout the first battle.
"Don't go saying things like that, Waku!" cried Kozue
"Takashi, why won't you snap out of it?!" added Aqua
"Yeah, what's up with you siding with the Bug?!" yelled Kako before his attention was reaimed at the first of the quiet ones to speak. This prompted Kako to go over to kick him in the gut, "In fact, why the shell are you agreeing with the bug, Fatso?!"
"Stop it, Kako!" Grace cried out.
"You're saying you actually want to go through with this smeg!?" Kako fumed. "Are you Nuts!?"
"C-cut it out, I'm as scared of dying as you are..." Kirie quietly sobbed.
"Would it kill ya to stop talking about dying!?" roared Kako.
"But there's nothing we can do..." sighed Koraline, "We've all heard of the motto of the Three Musketeers."
"'All for one, and one for all...'" Sora recalled.
"We've all been tasked with this heavy burden," stated Nakama, "...so it's our duty as the Kyuseigers to finish it as soon as possible."
"I guess... There's a meaning to the whole life force thing," Daichi sighed in submission, "In order to prevent the death and destruction of everything in the universe, our family and friends included, we're gonna have to get adjusted to the idea of self sacrifice..."
"Then why don't you step up to bat after Ventus?" spouted Ushiro.
"Hey, Don't you care enough about your family to protect it yourself!?" Ven yelled, "Let alone Kana-!?"
"Easy there, slugger." Kanji sighed. "The guy's mom died giving birth to Kana. It's probably why he's such a grouch all the time..."
"Butt out, Kanji!" Ushiro shouted.
"To be honest with you, It's pretty easy figuring out who he blames for the death..." shrugged Kanji.
All eyes glared to Kana as Ushiro yelled back: "Shut the hell up, This isn't about you!"
The thought of seeing his father cry over the dead body of his mother came crawling back and the sheer hatred once more came to a boil, "Why do I have to put up with a life like mine!?"
"I know protecting your family ain't your thing..." sighed Kanji, "Believe me, it wasn't the first thing that crossed my mind. Then again, saving the earth didn't cross my mind when we first started."
They all glared at each other, worried for who might follow in Ven's footsteps.
"Well, enjoy your lives to fullest kids, cause for some of you..." Koyemshi sneered, "It's a limited time offer..."
And so, one-by-one, our heroes returned to their lives until Kodama and Waku remained.
Look at him, one look at his father at the office, and I can easily peg him as a life worth throwing away... He probably would've died falling with the corpse of Kamijiha and yet, he survived...
The matter of how is a mystery worth investigating...
Who are you, Waku-kun...
Kodama thought back to Tomoki, and how he looked up to him, just as he looked up to his father. When his older brothers have been chewing him out for shooting at a stray cat with his beebee gun, he was there to dissuade them from bugging him, failing due to the two brother's contempt towards his father. They did not share the same image of the chosen man before them as he, but Tomoki did through him... And that was what chilled him, what haunted him, what would rock him to his core over the course of the adventure.
Greed
Koraline returned to her stately manor where her boyfriend was standing there, eagerly awaiting her to come and see the park today.
"Hey, Kori." greeted Hideki Kojibara, the BF in question. "How was school?"
"...fine, I guess." Koraline spoke, trying her damnedest to hide her duties as a Kyuseiger from Hideki. "Just leave me alone, alright?"
"But Kori, The park's gonna close early since the Staff's volunteered to clean up the mess made from the Giant Robot-" Koraline hadn't the time to hear it as she shut the door before Hideki could finish his sentence. As Koraline marched towards her bedroom, she overheard whispers of a conversation between her father and an unknown stranger. "Can you believe those provisions these guys tried to propose?! I mean, c'mon a death sentence to anyone who creates a link to somthin'? Clearly some kinda April Fools joke, eh?"
Koraline could only stare at the man behind the nearly-sealed door, his shadow large enough to cover both her and her childhood friend. And the man's wealth was proof of this, having grown and gathered his riches from both sides of the gambling scene. Playing slot machines during his early twenties and building slot machines from his late twenties on, This man was one who left luck up to chance and was rewarded for his persistence.
Home
Marco opened the door to his bedroom and laid there, obviously troubled by the fact that piloting the Mighty Zearth is a literal lose-lose situation: pilot the mech and die or dont pilot the mech and watch everyone die. Either way, he was scared of the prospect proposed by the contract. He feared what would happen to the Smashers if he was chosen, he shivered at the thought of his family losing him.
"Marco, You seeing this?" the boy glanced at the News Report, covering the collateral damage of Tomoki's flight, And watching the pre-recorded carnage was Samus and Ness. "I'll admit, it'd be cool to fight a giant robot like that, y'know?"
|The Smashers confront Marco about the Giant Robot and He neither confirms nor denies any involvement in the system.|

Chapter 23
I'm Afraid, too.
Bonnie, Freya, Caitlyn and Mei all sat down for their Ice Cream Treat. All the seats were filled, save one.
Mei sipped her frosted chocolate milkshake for a bit, watching the youngsters eat their ice cream to hold back the tears of losing someone that promised to join them on this victory all while considering lacing her drink with flat-out booze she smuggled into the restaurant.
"Miss Shiny-Bow?" asked Bonnie in her cute childhood lisp.
"Yes, what is it?" asked Mei, hoping Bonnie wouldn't bring up anything she's heard from Koyemshi.
"What did you order?" she asked.
The Adult finished her sip and spoke: "Well, I had kind of a big lunch so I ordered a grilled cheese, A Pretty Pedestrian cut in Deus's gift certificate compared to your tall order."
"Well, ya gotta use every last drop of that 128 bucks!" Bonnie exclaimed as she took a big 'ol bite out of her sundae! "The least you could do is add some Chicken Sticks, eh!"
"I thought I told you that I'm good, we've been over this!" the young lady complained.
"C'mon, It's not like we were using Tomoki's cut, Right?" Bonnie cried, before half-heartedly asking... "Mei?"
"Yeah?" She knew exactly what Bonnie was gonna ask.
"Are we gonna die?" And thus, this question made Meiko's heart sink. With the way things have been going as of late and the risk of being the next pilot of Zearth, can you blame her?
"I hope not... Then again, it's our job to protect the earth, even though none of us want to die." she softly spoke before snapping back into a cheerful mood, "I mean, do you have any idea on what Mom would do to me if I let anything happen to ya?"
The room was still cloaked in a sombre mist. Freya and Caitlyn sported faces of depression, Bonnie's face looked quite scared and for good reason... A big hug outside would hopefully perk 'em up a bit. "Check, Please."
The Nerd Lab
The Bus arrived at the San Fransokyo Technical Institute as Ventus and Nanacchi socialized with one another throughout the tour.
"So you live with your Granddad?" Ven inquired.
"Yep!" Chimed Nanacchi
"You could call the couple I live with my grandparents" sighed Ventus as he shrugged his shoulders declaring "I'm adopted."
"Really?" Asked Nanacchi, "Do you even remember your real parents?"
"Sorry, Nanacchi, but I just haven't seen my parents at all..." Sighed Ventus, "Maybe there's a reason behind it all that I can't see?"
"I'm sure they would have loved to see how you turned out!" smiled Nanacchi as they walked through the halls. "You're sweet, cheerful, a real dreamer If I ever saw one!"

Boring Political Stuff
It was an increasingly bleak discussion on the topic of the giant robot attacks, Senator Lieberson is having herbal tea with Kouichi Komoda confronting him about the recent happenings of the past few weeks.
"Okay, then... Let's circle back to the hundreds of casualties in the two latest giant robot attacks, let's circle back to the collateral damage done to the city and how much it's gonna cost to rebuild, let's circle back to how this whole mess could make us look come re-election time," recapped Lieberson to the stone wall. "I'm just concerned about the masked vigilanties that have up and popped up out of no-fuckin-where!"
"To be honest, those topics you want to gloss over... are the exact ones I want to discuss with you..."
"You serious?!" spoke Lieberson, irritated at Komoda for trying to change the subject "Well, If that's the way you want it, then alright. Let's start with the relief program."
"Yes, the city's been through plenty of damage already..." stammered Komoda as he struggled to figure out the cost. "I'd estimate around $30 Million might cover the real estate, $20 mill for rescue efforts for a total of..."
"50 Mil? Well, I guess it's settled!" Lieberson declared.
"Jack, Don't you think it's a bit on the flimsy side?" asked the Senator.
"Well, the Rangers have done a shit-ton of the rescue work for us, its only natural that there's a minimalist budget in play." Lieberson playfully retorted before: "Speakin' of which?"
Komoda was preparing to talk about the rest of the budgeting, "Don't tell me, you want to discuss-"
"Power Rangers, These 'Kyuseiger' kids are kinda like those colorful crews of five. I couldn't seem to find the Purple one."
|Have Senator Lieberson try to get Senator Komoda to discuss the Robot.|
"They were trying to protect their Robot as well as they were protecting the entire city..." lamented Komoda as he slouched into his desk. "Almost as if the black robot was their own."
The Shinobi's words startled his fellow senator, "Hey, you can't be saying that the Robot and the Rangers are connected?!"
"I know my Saturday Mornin' Kids Programmin' all too well to say that they ain't" retorted Lieberson with a tone of regret in their voice. "We might as well trust these cut-rate power rangers for now, they know what they're doin' here."
"You're right. They wouldn't be rescuing innocent lives if they weren't connected to the robot." And with that, Jack began to make his way out of the Komoda residence. "Thanks, Jack. Don't be a stranger, now."

Girl Abs
Maki makes it back home to analyze her body in the Kyuseiger armor and noted how tall and toned she was, Maki first took off the helmet and saw that there was a special crest on her forehead, the same symbol from the box whence she first received the uniform. Next, she removed her top to reveal that she was still the same thirteen year old girl as she always was...
...from the neck up.
Her torso on the, other hand, was a mass of cosmic energy surrounding a chrome skeleton bare of any organs as a reminder of the contract's risk. It was the perfect size range of a child of war and the energy mass had the shapely curves to prove it.
The 'oooh's and 'aaah's she used to describe her altered state were heavily justified as she the water changed colors with her mood before she focused on what would happen if someone caught her looking like this and almost immediately, her fluid-like body constricted molecule by molecule as they molded a layer of skin around the liquidlike mass, goosebumps all over her otherwise smooth skin. She squeezed her now obvious breasts before she noticed that her belly was a bit more... detailed. She flexed her arms, pulsating her biceps as well as revealing:
"Well, hellooooo, Girl Abs!" smiled Maki as she turned around to see her back in the mirror. The Skype Ringtone snapped her back into reality as she deactivated her morpher, watching as her fully-bloomed body dissipated into carbon revealing regular ol' Maki Ano who had as Skype call to pick up.

It was time for him to face the next opponent.
It was time for him to die.

"Yeah, of course you'd say that..." smiled Ven.
"Don't do anything crazy like that next time, alright?" Tadashi exclaimed.
"I don't think that's possible." Ven chuckled, before remembering something urgent. "Hey, Tadashi. I saw something in the fire..."
"Really? Tell us right now" Tadashi responded, "And speak up while you're at it, kid, you've started to get a bit quiet. Ya got that, Ven? Now, Did you see the Nanobots?" All Tadashi could hear was the sound of the phone hitting the cold hard floor.
"Ven? Ventus, Where are you?" Yelled Tadashi hoping to get Ventus to pick up the phone once more.
"He's probably spending the night in Dreamland." Smiled Nanacchi. "Must have fallen asleep, the hopeless sleepyhead!"
"Well, ya gotta give blondie some credit, Suz." added Hiro, "It's pretty much been a long night, we all deserve some rest."
"Okay... But we don't know if Callahan survived the fire or not. We've got to check back at the-" Nanacchi's frowning face was somehow enough to temporarily silence Tadashi. "Yeah, we'll go check tomorrow, bring your sisters."
"Okie-Doke! Nighty-Night, Ven! Sweet Dreams." The Hamada Brothers followed suit with their good-byes before they hung up. A tone of a severed connection fills the air as the Kyuseigers stand in silence, Terra and Aqua struggling to fight back the tears while the younger pilots like Anko and Komo merely let 'em all out.

Chapter 28: Adaptation Expansion
Everything's Better with Plushies
"Why would you leave, Caitlyn?"
"Because we're visiting family," Caitlyn answered absent-mindedly. She tugged a drawer out of the dresser Mewtwo was standing on, forcing him to levitate and not be shaken off; he was used to it, seeing how she had opened the drawers several times in the past few minutes.
Caitlyn packed several tank tops and short-sleeved shirts into an open suitcase perched on her bed. A similar bag was zipped tightly shut on Freya's bed, but packed to the brim with things for an overnight stay or two, or five. And, of course, Pokémon plushies. Everything's better with plushies.
"I thought your family was all in this household," Mewtwo questioned, launching himself off the dresser and onto her bed with a flying leap. "Are there others?"
"Yes, my aunt in Col-or-ado," she answered, slightly mispronouncing the state's name. "And some cousins of ours...others than Harold, I mean."
"I see," Mewtwo nodded slowly as she began attempts to close the bag. "How long will you be gone?"
"Six...six...days...at least!" she strained while throwing her weight against it, only succeeding in squeezing a few objects out. "Maybe seven if there's snow delays."
"Oh?"
"We live in the..." she paused and looked off into empty air for a bit before recalling the information, "coastal states, which means we'll go there by plane. And we're leaving tomorrow, real early in the morning."
"...I can't be one to separate a family when they are supposed to be gathering," Mewtwo sighed, "so...may we come along?"
"W-what?" Caitlyn asked, looking up from where she had laid herself on the case. The small move initiated the click of the seal, and she looked back down with an accomplished grin.
"You should know that we cannot last without a sparker," the Pokémon explained. "And I'm sure the smashers would rather not be comatose again."
Realising that they might end up 'comatose' upon any one of them being selected as a pilot and the yard sales that will ensue to recoup the loss from any potential funeral, She decided to skip asking what that word meant and went straight to her argument. "But Mewtwo...you're a smasher, too."
"I almost am," he corrected. His mind skills had been slowly building up in accuracy and power, almost enough for them to be called attacks; with a bit more practice, he could join the others in a few rounds of brawling.
"And the other thing...I don't know if Marc or Cressy would like it," she hummed. "...maybe if Freya and I hide you in a bag or something, you can come along?"
"That seems like a good plan," he answered, nodding slowly. "I will need to inform the others of this...and you may need a second piece of luggage."
The case suddenly burst open again, throwing a few layers of shirts about the area-one landing on Caitlyn's head. "...yeah," she sighed.
A Long lost Friend
|Adam Generoux encounters a pink-haired girl|
Depart's All Yours
Twelve smashers with varying levels of apprehension are standing in front of Mewtwo now, and now he wasn't sure if his convincing skills were sharpened enough to bribe them into coming along.
"It sounds like a great plan and all," Captain Falcon offered, "but...all thirteen of us smashed together in a bag like a sandwich?"
"With craziness sauce and a not-gonna-happen topping."
"Ness, you sound like Cress," Luigi noted.
"What, my name, or way of speaking?" Ness asked.
"...both?"
"Yeah, I get that a lot. But Cap'n does have a point," the boy added.
"Do you even know what this bag looks like?" Samus grunted.
"A messenger's bag," Mewtwo started. Being telepathic, he could tell exactly what they were thinking and answer in the best way possible; that was how he handled Caitlyn, but that was one-on-one and with total focus. Right now he was slightly nervous of them not agreeing, not to mention worried that he might be the only one willing. Putting all doubts aside for the moment, he continued with, "it'll be filled with some objects of entertainment, but there should be enough room for us all to be comfortable in."
"Hm... what level of comfort, anyway? Will Samus need to be in his morph ball?" Mario asked. Samus flinched briefly at the mention of 'his', like 'he' always did.
"She shouldn't-" Mewtwo answered before immediately pausing. Namely because Ness interrupted with: "Samus is a girl?!"
To be truthful, Mewtwo had known this for a while-telepathic, remember? Besides, he couldn't see how Samus was considered male; the name, the voice, even the vague shape of her suit. So he didn't answer, and instead let the fireworks commence.
"...you didn't know that?" Samus muttered.
Donkey Kong gasped.
"Wait what? Wait, WHAT?!" several of the stunned fighters yelped.
Her face was hidden, but it was most likely contorted in rage. "So you're telling me that for all this time you thought I was a guy?!"
"YOU never siad you WEREN'T a guy!" Captain Falcon argued.
"Samus, why didn't you speak up about it?" Mario peeped. "Mama Mia, and I've been calling you a guy for ages! So sorry!"
"Don't, it's..." Samus sighed loudly, having turned off the robotic voice she normally used-making her deadpan but obviously feminine tone heard. "It's fine. I should have said earlier, I blame myself. Moving on?"
"It depends on whether or not you would like to go," Mewtwo finished. "But without Marco, you would go back to being lifeless... I have not experienced that tragedy, so I do not know how it feels..."
A quick pause for thought seemed like all he needed for this argument. Pikachu and Jigglypuff were by his side before he even proposed the idea; they looked to him as a leader and mentor, even if he didn't wield the skills of electricity or song like they did. Somewhat like how everyone turned to Mario during this decision, evn if Fox or Samus or even Ness seemed like the better option. Mewtwo didn't know what else to call it, this strange ranking not based off power, so he referred to it as 'default'. Some might call it 'leadership', or even 'family'...
"...alright...if anyone disagrees, speak out now," he called out to the others.
"Eh, I'm good," Ness shrugged.
"Sounds exciting," Fox smirked.
"If this fails, I'm blaming Mewtwo," Samus muttered.
"S-sure," Luigi shuddered.
Donkey Kong fist-pumped the air with an excited hoot.
"That's great," Mewtwo flicked his tail in his gesture of a smile. His mouth didn't really move, even when he was talking, so when Caitlyn approched her brothers about the question. "But if we stay in the bag and don't give any hints, we should be safe."
"Well...they did say we could make our own choices, right?" Ness added.
It was true; they never put any limitations on them, just the basic house rules of not breaking anything-plus the unanimous addendum of not entering Marco's room at night, for the sake of not suffering Master Hand's unfiltered wrath. And if they decided on this themselves...
"We'll still go," Mario nodded. "So...what's the plan?"
"I'm a friend"

all Terra could do that involved the poor boy was to just stare deeply into his drink, lamenting the loss that had occurred at the science fair.
Mission Improbable
|That Scene when they sneak into the girls' room with the Mission Impossible theme playing in the background...|
A day at the airport
Surprisingly, the smuggling plot worked out rather well.
The only time they were in eminent danger of being discovered is when they had to x-ray the bag, and briefly short circuted the poor machines. Thankfully, neither of the other siblings (or any of the much less understanding adults) suspected much; "It has been known to freak out over high metal," the security gaurd had explained. Caitlyn and her package did get the evil eye from many a late traveler, prompting her to duck behind Freya.
|Explain that as well as Yoko encountering this flaw|
"Did you hear how long the flight's gonna be?" Cress complained to the others before they mounted the plane.
"We all did-" Marco started.
"Four hours!" Cress groaned. "Four hours of sitting on a seat and doing nothing! I mean, it's the fastest transportation we've got and all, but we can't even directly talk to the guys back home!"
"Cress, just think back-"
"I saw this guy on a bench just now!" Cress interrupted, "He was playing around with his calculator!"
"...what?" Marco blinked.
"What do you mean, 'what'?"
"That last part, I mean. Why a calculator?"
"I don't know, he was just kind of...pressing random buttons? He might have been reviewing algebra, I didn't exactly look..."
As the two talked on, they were escorted aboard and disappeared from the sight of Machi.
Flying High
Once they were on the plane, the Tenda Family shuffled to their seats-Freya and Caitlyn landing spots right next to each other, with their father on the end.
"Hey daaaaaad?" Freya drawled. "Why do we need to go all the way out in the country? Can't we just visit Harold?" Although she wouldn't give up her pride out loud, she had to admit that she knew absolutely nothing about her distant cousins-other than the fact that they left Colorado when she was about four and the only times she recalled being with them after the Camping Trip was when Sarah, Tomoki and most recently Ventus piloted the Mighty Zearth. And even then she didn't get to know them too much.
"Because...they need us this year," he answered simply. "My sister-your aunt-has recently suffered a loss. Your mother and I just want to be there for her."
"Oh," Freya peeped quietly. Lost what, though? A house? A farm animal?
...a family member?
The very thought brought back memories of Sarah and how she brightened up their day whenever they saw her, as well as the perfect playmate Tomoki and the eager young Ven.
The memory of how they were taken away from them still hurts to no end.
In the meantime, Caitlyn was staring out the window sickly. The safety procedures just worried her more, as this was her first remembered fliht; the thought of crashing like a victum of Seismic Toss made her want to puke. So at least knowing where the bags for throwing up helped...
She changed her line of sight to her now-empty hands. The smashers were under her seat, and being the brave characters they are, probably weren't panicking at all...
...she had no idea that Donkey Kong was currently having a silent yet severe panic attack.
"Hey, Caitlyn? You look a little worried," Freya noted, turning her attention to her.
"Y-yeah, It's just...I hope we'll be alright," she sighed.
"Hey, we'll be fine! We've survived four battles in MZ so far, and besides; I heard that driving a car is more dangerous than flying a plane."
"It is?!"
"Uh...okay, maybe not my wisest advice...oh, I got it!"
She rummaged about in the book bag she chose for luggage. It was mostly full of reading material or notebooks and pencils, so what Freya could pull out that would keep her attention of the flight befuddled Caitlyn.
But it was to her astonishment when Freya resurfaced from the book with not a hardcover, but a small, felt doll only half-finished.
"You made a Pokémon...?"
"I tried" Freya shrugged, tipping her hand so the creature fell into Caitlyn's cupped palms. "There was this pile of cloth in one of the crates you showed me-right next to the one we found you-know-who in!"
She observed the 'mon-to-be, a yellow and bipedal thing just a slightly paler yellow than Pikachu. It was lacking in a face and a needle was hooked through its skin where Freya had apparently tried embroidering a black collar around its neck. It made her spirit fly like the plane was about to, how she had tried it in the pattern Caitlyn normally did patterning in...it might have been a future gift, if it hadn't been revealed at this crucial moment.
"...do you mind if I work on it?"
"Not at all! That's why I gave it to you, anyway!" Freya chirped. "I started calling it Pichu after it started looking like Pika, a cute name for most likely a pre-evolution-"
The entire cabin suddenly surged forward, the burst in speed signaling it had begun moving to the runway. The two hadn't noticed their warning, apparently, but Caitlyn was prepared; with a half-finished 'Pichu' in hand(s) and Freya rambling about said Pokémon in her ear, she settled in for the long hours ahead...not to mention picked up the needle and started working on the lacing.
Chapter 29: A friend
The Spearrow has landed
The plane pulled upward as a familiar girl in a wheelchair chimed: "The plane's here" alerting the Tenda kids of Colorado, and triggering the playful stare from Nicole.
"Hey guys!" Monica called as the four siblings from San Fransokyo came over to the group. ""
"Just peachy!" Freya smiled as they all mingled happily until they spotted: "Kozue?! What are you doing here?"
"Alright, I think we need to change the subject about now." blushed Kozue before thinking of a topic on the fly, "Have any of you heard the voice."
She is rewarded in the painful silence befitting of such a hurtful question.
"Have you?"
"No, and thank goodness for that..." She sighed with relief. "I take it none of you have been selected for the next round."
"Not that we know of..." noted Cress.
"I don't think the next round's until a few days from now..." estimated Hikoi.
"With the pain Mom suffered, we can't afford to lose another one of us, especially to this so-called game you-know-who stuffed us into!" Monica stated, her voice turning harsh at the mention of their contractor. "Hey, have you seen-"
"SURPRISE!" Nicole pounced upon Cress once more similar to the camping trip that got them into the mess.
"Cut it out, Nick!" yelped Cress. "I'm still recovering from last time."
"Oh, Sorry." she let go of Cress. "So, we've got guests to introduce our family to, so let's get going."
"Okay!" chimed the San Fransokyo sisters together before Freya asked: "Did you hear the voice."
"As much as the wait made me wish, shell to the no..." moaned Nicole before perking up to cuddle the sisters in her aformentioned neck-gripping fashion. "But clearly I jest, I don't wanna leave you guys, not now, not ever!" She suddenly jumped back with a yelp after making contact with Caitlyn's purse, and rubbed the spot on her elbow tenderly.
"Hm? Something up, Nick?" Cress offered-the Nick-name being of his origin. Something had to counter her persistant naming, and it made sense for her tomboy nature.
"It's Nicole...anyway, just some static," she shrugged, letting go of her arm. "Hey, we're gonna stop by MgRonald's before heading home! More reason to point out stuff in the town~!"
They chattered on, making more remarks about how much time had passed and what had happened in said time frame, not caring to notice the black tail that slipped out of view and back into the young girl's bag.

Pichu
The other Tenda family's household was warm and friendly from the moment you walked into the door; the living room made up of a couch and several heavily-cushioned chairs, one of which happened to be the same chair Nicole usually sits on within the cockpit of MZ. Upon the thought of Zearth and its most recent pilot, he redirected his attention to the piano placed against a wall with the other wall filled up with a fireplace. The kitchen was to the left of it, positioned so you could walk across a wooden part of the floor, allowing for an aroma of a specific meal to fill the air on the way passing the downwards-leading staircase and the dining table. Even further was a sunroom, constantly filled with drying artwork courtesy of the kids.
On the left side was a somewhat congested hallway, filled with five doors. The first leading to Nicole's room, using a palette of greens and a huge window to make it feel more alive than the artwork and constantly-on computer did. The second belonging to Hikoi, decorated in a darker shade by various Japanese trinkets-plus his own hobbies. The third was a bathroom, and the fourth was Monica's abode, finally leading down to the master bedroom.
Downstairs was a bit short, but made the most out of it with a large TV and equally massive couch (which Monica usually slept on, hence it's presence in the Cockpit of the Mighty Zearth). That was where three guest bedrooms resided, currently being used by the siblings via splitting their ages; Marco and Cress to one, Caitlyn and Freya to another. The smallest of the three guest rooms was occupied by Machi (Who crashes at either Marcoless Tenda House once or twice a week. Why? She moves around alot).
When they first arrived, the incoming family was exhausted. It also happened to be quite late at night, so there was little else for them to do but unpack for the incoming week before sleeping. Marco was doing as such, Cress having collided onto one of the beds and not looking looking to be getting up anytime soon.
"Hey, If either of us were chosen as a pilot," Cress sighed. "What do you think would happen to our family."
"I dunno..." Marco sighed in contemplation. "To say they'd be heartbroken's an understatement. But our generation of Tendas are going to be watching us, too. So they're going to witness a death in the family firsthand..."
"and what about," Cress pondered before both finished at once with, "the smashers..."
Marco finally gave up on organizing everything and fell backwards on his own sleeping area, and the two brothers simply lay in relaxation while mentally recalling the events that led them to this specific moment.
Recalling the four pilots that went before them.
Recalling Ven.
Recalling Tomi.
Recalling Sarah.
Recalling Kokopelli.
The man that started it all.
"...speaking of which, I wonder what they're doing right now," Marco chirped at last.
"Probably hiding the shards of a broken vase or something like that," Cress chuckled. "Seriously, giving them free reign was both a good and bad idea. Probably more bad than good."
"I think mom's still blaming you for her broken china..." Marco noted.
Pikachu's head popped out of the minuscule gap in the doorway, budging it open just slightly. The two boys' attention were honed on the door when it moved without any apparent force, not noticing the yellow mouse as it slipped into the room-and brought something with it.
"...the door just moved," Cress muttered.
"I know," Marco answered.
"But nothing's here."
"I know."
"PIKACH-uh, hi!" Freya quickly coughed to shield her previous exclamation, smiling nervously while halfway through the door. "Hey! Yeah, Uh...thought this was a bathroom!"
"O...kay?" Cress narrowed his eyes. They immediately fell in shock to Pikachu as it double-kumped onto his sheets, and widened even more when a certain pre-evolution followed. "Pikachu?! What the-"
"Freya, I thought we told you and Caitlyn not to take those!" Marco groaned, slapping his forehead.
"It was Caitlyn's idea!" Freya protested. "And before it was her idea, it was Mewtwo's idea! I had no idea she brought them until, like, five minutes ago!"
"Ugh! Now we gotta worry about the other three finding those thirteen! And our aunt!" Marco slapped his other hand in a double-facepalm of double-fail.
"Dude...you ought to make that fourteen," Cress coughed, pointing to the small mouse following Pikachu like a lost child.
"So THAT'S where Pichu went!" Freya gasped. "And what that fabric was! I get it now!"
"How did that happen?" Marco questioned, removing his hands from his face to get a look at the newly-sparked mouse. Pichu was a rather fitting name, since it resembled Pikachu so much, but he knew that nothing in his thoughts wandered in the least to electrical mice. Perhaps Pikachu had Thunderbolted it to life, like some sort of backwards Frankenstein-esque monster?
"How would I know?! All I saw was that she slipped it into the bag with the smashers, and they said that it just came alive!"
"...well, it's WAY too late to take them back," Cress muttered. "We'll just have to make due, I guess."
"Did she happen to bring the gloves?" Marco asked semi-hopefully. It was alot to ask, seeing how they were always kept in their owner's rooms-
At that instance, Caitlyn chose to join Freya at the door and hold up both of the white hand coverings.
"...I have no idea whether or not to feel very proud or just plain weirded out that you got into my bedroom and I didn't even notice."
"It's really easy when you stand on tiptoe."
Marco facepalmed yet again, creating a triple-deluxe fail of 'how does that even make sense?'

Chapter 30: A secret
ICE Climbers
A blinding flash of the freshest white was all that she could see of the ground, a half-stirred vat of gray and silver for the sky. The wind shoving back at her face acting like inexistant worries, the cheerful whoop of "Wo-hooo!" from behind further fueling her adrenaline to keep sliding through the Colorado snow.
Not like Nicole could stop, anyway, they had gone to the steepest hill to make sure that nothing (including gravity) could slow this ride.
"AMIGA! I LOVE COLORADO!" Cress half-laughed, half-screamed behind her.
"I KNOW, RIGHT?! BEST! HILLS! EVER!" Nicole shrieked in pure joy.
The two mildly insane cousins had gone out early in the morning to reach some of Nicole's "recommended routes of routing", firstly because the routes were just about in the middle of nowhere and secondly because the place was due for a snowstorm later that day.
And so there they were, traveling at speeds reminiscent of a to-be-introduced hedgehog's, down one of the tallest hills, on a wooden and not entirely safe sled. Cress was clutching the edges like his life depended on it (which it probably did), but Nicole chose to thrust one arm in front in an "ONWARD!" pose. And this was what they've been doing for the past hour or so, living dangerously while the other kids hang around the house.
"OH GOSH HERE IT COOOMES!" Nicole cracked.
"WHAT COMES?! WHAT?! WHAT?!" Cress gasped at the sight of a fastly-approaching snowbank.
The sled and its passengers crashed into it with a loud CRUNCH, thankfully that of the ice and fluff being squashed by the two. The sled kept going, however, ricocheting off a nearby tree or two before just plain going onward.
Nicole's head of silver popped out of the top of the snow pile first, bearing a toothy grin. "Wasn't that just AWESOME!?" she asked Cress.
"Beyond that!" came Cress' muffled answer as he punched an arm upward and into the crisp air. His body was positioned horizontally in the bank, so might as well relinquish in the powder. "...now how do we get out of this thing?"
"Well, I can walk through," Nicole shrugged, parting the snow around her and stepping out of the bank in her slightly damp snow gear. "As for you...uh...do a barrel roll!"
"A what?" Cress chirped.
"You know...flip! Out of the snow! And onto the ground!" Nicole explained vividly, waving her arms in the air to further punctuate.
"I get that, but what's with the barrel roll?" he asked.
"Oh yeah, it's this catchphrase a character of mine uses," Nicole shrugged. "I'm a big author, you know!"
Cress flipped himself in a rolling fashion, clambering onto the ground-and taking a few feet of snow with him. He proceeded to jump back to his feet like he tended to do after doing something rather clumsy, straightening his coat in the way a businessman pulls at his jacket. "I am a ninja," he self-proclaimed.
"In your dreams..." Nicole sighed, glancing at the tracks made by their wayward sled. They lead to the side-tilted sled, of course...which was propped up on a huge, rocky mound.
"Whoa," Cress awed.
"I never noticed that before," Nicole murmured.
The hill was enormous, justified enough to be called a small mountain; rocky cliffs and overhands rudely poked out from its overcoat of snow, gray and brown dots amonst the looming white giant. If Nicole squinted, she could pick out that looked a bit like a cavern..
"...we have GOT to climb that," Cress deemed.
"Do we have the time? That cold front should be coming through pretty soon," Nicole asked.
"But do we even know where your house is? Why not just climb this and get a view!" he protested. "It'll be fun!"
"I didn't say it wouldn't be fun...alright, let's do it!" Nicole agreed. Snatching the rop that lead her sled, the two climbers (or should I say, ICE climbers) headed up via nearby slope.
Reunion
|Machi and the Pink haired girl meet|
Meet the Tendas
|Machi introduces Yumi to the Tendas|
The two girls headed into the cockpit and sat upon the couch within. Machi told her everything that has ensued thus far since Kokopelli's flight, the girl looked down in sadness for the three who have already perished, fearful that her friend might be among the fifteen out of the group to pilot Zearth, but a bit satisfied that there would at least be lives spared out of the whole ordeal. "I see, so you named it 'The Mighty Zearth' as in..."
"Zearth Sentai Kyuseiger!" smiled Machi, "Come on, I'll show you around, you've got quite a few of 'em to meet!"
"But how are we gonna get there?" asked Yumi.
Machi knew that telling her to concentrate wouldn't help "Just click your heels three times and say..."
"There's no place like home?" joined Yumi, resulting in her and Machi being warped into the Colorado Tenda Household's living room.
"Ah, we're there already?" Machi exclaimed in confusion, "Well, that was quick... So Yu-chan, how about I show you around!"
"Okay!"
They followed the voices downstairs to the basement where they found two girls acting out an adventure as an elder girl typed on a keyboard.
"—and so Ganon shoots these really cool and deadly-looking beams, it's all like, BROMOMOMOMOMOM! And they hit Link's shield like BAM BAM BAM!" the younger one with short silver hair narrated excitedly. "So then he's all like 'oh man, there's only one thing that could beat this guy!' and digs into his bag—"
"Okay, okay! Just slow down a minute!" Monica chuckled, her fingers a fast blur as they moved about the keyboard.
"Ahem."
"Oh! Hi, Machi!" waved one of the two little girls in the room. "Who's you're friend?"
"My name is Yumi Garaku," stated the pinkette, "It's so very nice to meet you."
"Please to meet ya, too! I'm Freya!" introduced the little girl, "My sister Caitlyn's in the Kitchen, but for now, meet our cousin, Monica!"
"Hi there." chimed Monica, "Welcome to our humble abode."
"Thank you." Yumi then stepped into the room to find that it was just short of Nicole's for having the most art and plotlines; watercolor paintings of fields and dungeons, pencil maps of locations and enemies, size charts of said enemies...it was her own personal art studio.
It made sense, since the two often worked together when story-making; Monica plugged in all the locations and boss fights while Nicole made quick work of the characters, from arrow-shooting angels to gas-filled money hogs. But what really caught Freya's eye was the unfinishe works, the ones where Nicole just couldn't find the right main character and/or Monica didn't have enough inspiration for another unique world.
So she filled them in with the smasher's lives, instead.
She explained that Caitlyn and she had a few "leftover ideas" not involved with their immensely important PKMN game, and started off with the story of Link. Monica took off with the idea, and found him a great candidate for her other ideas—one involving time-travel, another having something to do with a creepy moon, and yet another being the very idea she was typing up at the moment.
She had to dig deep to find the old scraps of the previously hero-less ideas, though; a dress-garbed princess now known as Zelda, a dark-toned 'Gerudo' dubbed Ganondorf, and her original hero for the first part of that time-defying journey—one that stunningly mirrored Link, but half his age, thus earning the title Young Link.
All three felt toys were now propped about her computer, the bulky processor of the writing weapon covered with other various props: a round flute known as an ocarina, a miniature sword in an equally-sized pedestal, a fairy prop that was literally a blue ball with wings, three unique masks resembling three equally-unique species, and an especially large and creepy-looking mask with nearly luminescent eyes.
..."propped" is too strong a word "covering the system so it no longer looked like a computer" was more like it.
"And so he screamed, in exact words, 'NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' !" Freya dropped to her knees dramatically before falling forward onto the bed, making a guttural sound to further confirm that Ganon was dead.
"...how many 'O's were in that" Monica asked to the laughter of all three girls.
Kitchen
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Caitlyn was absentmindedly biting down on an apple as she stared worriedly at the gathering clouds outside. They were reminiscent of a huge dragon's silvery scales; a huge frost dragon, perhaps, about to encase the land in its snow-making breath. Even more worrisome, Nicole and Cress were out there somewhere...
...the whole situation gave her an idea for an Ice/Dragon Legendary Pokémon, but that's off-topic.
A near-silent clatter of wooden objects barely connecting drew her attention from the window to the sunroom. Marco and Hikoi had disappeared into the room about thirty minutes ago, Hikoi carrying a wooden board something alike a chess board under his arm. Neither had emerged for all of that half hour, leading her to believe it was a game of chess.
What lead her away from that belief was that Hikoi constantly narrated stuff that sounded nothing like the narration of a chess match.
She finally let her curiousity covercome her concern, and walked into the normally light-bathed room to investigate. I say "normally" since, because of the heavy cloud cover, the windows all around were more of a dark silver than a blinding white.
Marco had the board in between them, but Caitlyn noticed that it wasn't an ordinary game board. For one thing, it was fully unfolded, taking up all of the table and hanging off the edge at parts; the two boys were actually sitting on the window ledge to play on it. But another thing was the immense about of stuff on the board; trees, rivers, home, convoys, a castle, grasses... not to mention the armor-garbed figurines used as avatars.
"Alright... lance beats sword, so...Cain should move here," Marco decided, slidding a character on horseback to meet a brutal-looking swordsman.
"Clever; you defeated him," Hikoi deemed, swiping the character off the board. "And the rest of your fleet...?"
It's here that Machi and Yumi made their presence known in the room "Hey, you guys! I'd like you to meet my friend Yumi."
"Hi, Glad to meet you." Greeted the pinkette.
"Welcome to the neighborhood, I'm Marco, this is my adopted cousin, Hikoi" Marco greeted back.
"Konnichiwa..." added Hikoi.
"Whoa, he's Japanese, Just like us!" realized Yumi.
"Yeah, a lot of our current group has that kind of blood in 'em." blushed Machi.
"Current Group?" Caitlyn chirped, approaching them.
"Yeah, our old school was a tech school in Kyoto. Yumi and I were transfered from there!" Machi explained before huddling together and whispering words to each other I dare not mention as per Koyemshi's request because like I said, we do not have control of the characters... at all!
"So, what are you playing?" asked Yumi.
"What? Oh, we're playing Fire Emblem," Marco answered. "...it's kind of hard."
"It was really hard to come up with, too," Hikoi noted. "And don't get me started on how hard it was to translate all the dialogue to English..."
"Okay, that I understand. You're adopted after all, right." giggled Machi.
"Yeah, 'bout a decade ago." chuckled Hikoi. "I was born and raised by Japanese immigrants, Mother died giving birth to me, Father gave me up for adoption not too long after... I would be adopted a few years later when I was four, I would meet Nicole, Monica, Marco, Cress, Harold and later Freya and Caitlyn..."
"Oh, my... You poor thing..." gasped Yumi, "You must have went through shell to adjust to the native english back then..."
Hikoi nodded in agreement adding: "In speech and in writing, very difficult... Nick and Monica knew enough Japanese to help translate for me until I finished learning to speak english, so it turned out well..."
"If by well, you mean easy to slip back to Japanese at a moment's notice then yeah, I guess you could say that!" Snarked Marco.
"Anata saide!" barked Hikoi in embarrassment.
"It's snowing."
"Huh?" Caitlyn asked, looking outside again.
"it's snowing," Machi repeated to the rest of the group.
"and those two still arn't back." retorted Hikoi.
"Probably lost or something," Marco sighed. "Should we send someone out-"
The door leading to the outside suddenly shot open, sending a freezing-cold gust of wind into the already-chilled room. Cress and Nicole, red in nose and covered in snow, stepped in next; panting like they had just ran a marathon.
"Made...it!" Nicole declared. "There was this HUGE mountain, you see—"
"REALLY high mountain!" Cress added, making sure to wave his hands up like his younger sister did atop of Zearth on the night of the late Sarah Kamijiha's battle.
"—and we had to slide down it at, like, a million miles an hour to get here, then we had to put the sled away and make it here and it was like GAH! I'm tired," Nicole fell forwards, Cress closing the door behind them before leaning on the frame.
"...uh..." Hikoi stammered.
"Hey, at least I can now say that phrase I've wanted to say since Tomoki's battle..." Nicole blushed, "...I've seen more exhausting things before."
Things went silent at the mention of Tomoki for a while, so it was up to Yumi to perk up the mood. "I'm Yumi, by the way, Machi's friend."
"Pleased to meet ya! I'm Cress!" smiled the boy in the snowsuit.
"The name's Nicole, don't wear it out." added the girl.
"Did I mention that we saw a bear?!"
"WHAT?!" Caitlyn jumped. "Tell me more!"
Cress launched into an in-depth description of their trek up the mini-mountain, gathering all of their attention, while Nicole smiled to herself and began imagining two parka-clad climbers doing the same. All while Machi got the Hot Cocoa for her friend, after all, they haven't seen each other in a long time and are just glad to have seen each other again.
Post Credits Scene
Wind rapped on the nearby panes to outside, like a child shoving their face against a window when wanting to come back in. Snow playfully bounded off of it as well, creating small tapping noises along with the pressing blows. But that was all the noise made in the silent household, spare for one Hylian's boots as he walked across slightly creaky wood.
Link had set off for exploration after confirming that none of the family was watching, and had so far made it up the steps and down the hallway a little ways. The other smashers had gone about their adventuring, be it to hide in the shadows and nooks even the best-built house carries or right into the open while everyone slept. Link was the first one to head blatantly upstairs, mostly since his hookshot was the only object that could make it, but there was always the likelihood someone else had followed him.
Now he was strolling down the hallway, unknowing of the three cousins and parent that resided along it, observing the place while searching for anything of interest.
This was one of his favorite parts of adventuring, simply taking in the glory of ancient ruins or lively fields or whatever he chose to venture in. And who knows; maybe he'll find some clue as to what Nintenna's fate could have been here.
Link stopped at the entrance to one of the rooms, where the door was peeped open and revealing a dark void within. Fate lead him to enter this unknown area and investigate it, and he saw that it was actually a bedroom—with someone sleeping inside.
The bed was placed in the center of a wall, so that the right side was open and the other was against the wall. A dresser sat in one of the gaps it made, a lamp sitting atop it, and several folders were stacked up in the other. On his direct right was a desk with a large, ancient computer, as well as several stunning sketches; on his left, a bookshelf filled with similar paperwork. A window was perched above the bed, showcasing the whirling snow and twirling frost, though not shedding light on anything else.
As Link crossed the threshold of the room, the back of his right hand began to throb—not enough to be painful, but to know that something was there and something was up. He glanced to it, instantly noticing the symbol that illuminated in gold.
…his Triforce had never done this before. Come to think of it, it really didn't do anything, and no one had ever noticed it because he kept it safely hidden under a glove. So what could it be doing now?
While he was transfixed on it, he noticed the song of an instrument fill the air. He let his arm drop and listened to it, a soft, strumming melody with a slow enough pace to sleep to. His ear twitched in interest when it was joined by an equally soothing voice:
"Pae, nashudu…"
Ignoring the strengthening pulse of his hand, he headed towards its origin—the desk.
"So-rei, ie-thu…"
He stood right below it, where a shadow-hidden figure was singing lightly to the music.
"Dae, hiro….dae, hiro…"
Episode 11
Chapter 31
Tale of Two Links
Wind rapped on the nearby panes to outside, like a child shoving their face against a window when wanting to come back in. Snow playfully bounded off of it as well, creating small tapping noises along with the pressing blows. But that was all the noise made in the silent household, spare for one Hylian's boots as he walked across slightly creaky wood.
Link had set off for exploration after confirming that none of the family was watching, and had so far made it up the steps and down the hallway a little ways. The other smashers had gone about their adventuring, be it to hide in the shadows and nooks even the best-built house carries or right into the open while everyone slept. Link was the first one to head blatantly upstairs, mostly since his hookshot was the only object that could make it, but there was always the likelihood someone else had followed him.
Now he was strolling down the hallway, unknowing of the three cousins and parent that resided along it, observing the place while searching for anything of interest.
This was one of his favorite parts of adventuring, simply taking in the glory of ancient ruins or lively fields or whatever he chose to venture in. And who knows; maybe he'll find some clue as to what Nintenna's fate could have been here.
Link stopped at the entrance to one of the rooms, where the door was peeped open and revealing a dark void within. Fate lead him to enter this unknown area and investigate it, and he saw that it was actually a bedroom—with someone sleeping inside.
The bed was placed in the center of a wall, so that the right side was open and the other was against the wall. A dresser sat in one of the gaps it made, a lamp sitting atop it, and several folders were stacked up in the other. On his direct right was a desk with a large, ancient computer, as well as several stunning sketches; on his left, a bookshelf filled with similar paperwork. A window was perched above the bed, showcasing the whirling snow and twirling frost, though not shedding light on anything else.
As Link crossed the threshold of the room, the back of his right hand began to throb—not enough to be painful, but to know that something was there and something was up. He glanced to it, instantly noticing the symbol that illuminated in gold.
…his Triforce had never done this before. Come to think of it, it really didn't do anything, and no one had ever noticed it because he kept it safely hidden under a glove. So what could it be doing now?
While he was transfixed on it, he noticed the song of an instrument fill the air. He let his arm drop and listened to it, a soft, strumming melody with a slow enough pace to sleep to. His ear twitched in interest when it was joined by an equally soothing voice:
"Pae, nashudu…"
Ignoring the strengthening pulse of his hand, he headed towards its origin—the desk.
"So-rei, ie-thu…"
He stood right below it, where a shadow-hidden figure was singing lightly to the music.
"Dae, hiro….dae, hiro…" the being stopped, and Link found himself leaning forward in anticipation of more. They seemed to be struggling for the right…syllable, or whatever else it might be called in the strange, word-lacking voice they used.
Something gasped harshly from nearby, capturing his awareness yet again and keeping it away from the voice. It came from underneath the desk, close to one of the short legs holding up the large shelves beneath the actual tabletop; a bit high in pitch, like that of a girl's or a child's.
Link gave a short hum of curiosity and slowly approached the spot from whence it came, assuming it to be a wayward house pet's or even a lost smasher. He crouched on a bended knee to peek underneath, meeting eyes with a pair of unfamiliar, bright blue orbs.
The wide eyes widened further, and the being stepped deeper into the gathered shadows—a small pinpoint of blue light behind it illuminating some sort of extension off its head. Maybe a fin, or hair, or even a hat.
The two stared at each other, one in curiosity and one in surprise, until Link finally raised his hand in greeting. The other's eyes glanced to it for a pause before it approached out of its hiding place—making Link's eyes widen.
It was a young, seven-year-old boy wearing a grass-green tunic that hardly reached his knees. An equally green, elongated hat covered most of his dirty blonde hair—and accented his long, pointed ears. A wooden shield looking like it had been ripped straight from a tree's bark hung on his back, decorated with a red swirl; a sword of equal size was sheathed behind it.
And the most amazing thing of all was that it looked like a child version of himself.
The boy and Link engaged in a staring contest again, not even noticing the soft thud of someone landing nearby them as they were too busy coming to terms that there was a younger/older version of them. The blue light peeked out from over the boy's shoulder again, insect-like wings slowly flapping to keep it suspended as it, too, joined in; only a slight cough from their side dragged their attention away, and Link stood up to meet the newcomer.
A young lady stood straight and regal, cloaked in a dress that was purple on the chest and white from the waist down. Golden shoulder pads further increased the royalty feel, along with the forehead-covering tiara over her long, golden hair. Elf ears like the two boys stuck out especially since there was no hat to blend in with them; altogether, she just gave the feel of a princess.
Link stared in surprise for the umpteenth time that night, a striking feel of familiarity washing over him. Somewhere, somehow, he had met this girl before…and she was very, very important.
A familiar name stood out, as well. "…Ze…l…da?" he quietly whispered. It was the most he could manage, and the most he had ever said out loud and to anyone instead of a battle cry for a long time.
The woman's eyes widened, and she paused before nodding slightly. The princess was a bit stunned that a complete stranger should know her name, especially since she felt like she had just learned it; this unfamiliar warrior knew her more than he knew herself, in a nutshell, and that was a very peculiar thing.
In the middle of their meet-and-…sort of greet, an unusually loud thud brought their eyes to the door. A dark figure, seemingly wrapped in shadow himself, casually stood up with his back to the group and walked out the door. His presence echoed unease and fear, and seeing him leave to where defenseless beings slept was even more unnerving; so unnerving, Link found his fingers clenched.
The boy grunted for attention, and was rewarded with the older two's; he grabbed the handle of his sword and pointed to the door, illustrating that they should investigate him.
Link and Zelda exchanged a glance before nodding and heading out as a trio. Unaware of the dangers that lurked the night, or even of most of the group's names, but brave enough to investigate anyhow.
Trouble King
"Mario, are you sure we're headed in the right direction?"
"Not quite, Luigi, but I think I'm close," Mario stated, entirely focused on the dark path ahead of them.
After spotting Link ascending the staircase to the unknown, Mario had gone after him; Luigi had tagged along as well, seeing how nothing terrible interesting was going on downstairs…other than the fact that Captain Falcon had learned how to operate the television.
They had lost the Hylian far before even making it to the top, his hookshot much better at reaching high ledges than their jumping—even when using the old jump-on-the-head trick. They had headed into one of the doors at random, seeing how Link wasn't in the hall; that lead them here, in a very dark room with only the faint light of the doorway to illuminate its gaping blackness.
Not to mention they went wandering inside of it, and were now lost entirely.
It really didn't help that nearly every stack of paper in the room looked exactly like the other—it was an intricate maze of lead-covered pages or teenage mess. Mario was squinting into the darkness while Luigi followed exactly one step behind, often running into the older brother when he stopped. It was getting annoying, already adding up to the fact that Luigi jumped at every sound…even if he sort of did that, too.
"What's that?" the green-clad plumber twittered nervously, hopping back a step and jabbing a wavering finger towards a particularly shadowed bend in the road.
"It's just another shadow, Luigi," Mario huffed, letting a large amount of monotone cover his speech. This had to be the fifth jump…
Luigi's eyes went wide when the hidden thing twitched. It seemed to rotate from a vaguely circular shadow to one with…limbs…on the underside; two piercing, red-colored eyes slid open on where he assumed to be a face, and what would be the equality of a mouth (or jaw) split open with a light hiss.
"D-do shadows move?" he questioned.
"Probably not," Mario sighed, continuing on their quest while Luigi hugged his shoulders and stared in fear at the approaching shadow.
"Marioooooo…MARIO!" Luigi yelped as a scorch of hot substance nearly lit his rear, fleeing from the running shadow and jumping onto his brother into an upper-body bear hug.
"WHAT IS IT—WHAT IS THAT?!" Mario hollered, throwing his brother off before going wide-eyed at the beast.
Another jet of flames spewed from its toothy jaws, illuminating the yellow skin of its face. Something wavered unsteadily with the force the fire gave, like a loose fin or even hair; the brothers were too busy to notice, seeing how something was breathing fire right at them.
Mario suddenly jerked out a strange, jar-and-pipe system from hammerspace and braced it so the clear, water-filled jar was against his back. A bit of sloshing later, and a jet of equal size to the water leapt out of the pipe—meeting the pillar of fire head-on and extinguishing it with aqua.
The fires receded, leaving a large scorch mark on the (thankfully wooden and not carpeted) flooring. The beast's eyes lit up in amusement, and a voice as rough as the fire itself spoke up:
"You brothers are good…that was my best fire right there!"
"It talks?!" Luigi squeaked.
"'it' happens to have a name, meatball-head," the creature growled, making Luigi jump.
"And that name would be…?" Mario quirked an eyebrow.
The beast briefly turned around to ignite a nearby sheet of scrap paper; creating a flame background that illuminated its ivory-spiked, emerald green shell, flame-red mane, iron-studded gauntlets, and beefy form. "Bowser, King of the Koopas," it cackled, "also known as your doom!"
"Not unless Mario Mario and Luigi Mario can stop him!" Mario promptly declared after the eye-catching introduction, tying on a mustard yellow cape briefly to further heroically narrate his declaration.
"AND Luigi Mario?" Luigi confirmed.
Without any further villain and hero naming, they engaged. Bowser's sharpened claws and heavy slams made for a great opponent, also adding in the element of fire to keep the brothers on their toes. But they themselves put up a rather nice fight as well—green and red fireballs, super-jumps and uppercuts, Luigi's strange missile and Mario's watery machine (the F.L.U.D.D., for future reference). The three put on one nice show when battling together, to the point where outcries and war charges covered up the sounds of a certain dark villain walking down the hall; not to mention the three smaller footsteps that trailed behind him.
But we'll get to those four bearers of the Triforce later.
And just like the last encounter, this one could only be stopped by one person. One bringer of peace, one bearer of tranquility, and one breaker of fights—also, in this scenario, baker of cakes. And that one person, or shall I say princess, was currently overlooking the fight from the perch of a bedpost.
"Oh, how rowdy," she sighed with a delicate enough touch to put Bowser on hold—if he wasn't currently countering two heroic plumbers. "But really, why must they fight like this? They should know that Nicole is sleeping!"
The two-against-one fight continued, neither aware of the lady who floated down on her quite lofty, practically neon pink dress. She stepped within range but still out of sight on heel-tipped feet, bringing up a beautifully fabricated parasol to block a wayward flame or two. Her oceanic-colored eyes glanced from this side to that, looking for any sign of an early stop to the battle—her practically gold-woven hair swinging around to meet the turning head, their curly tips further increasing her signature look.
Seeing how no stop was in sight, even to greet the newcomer, she did the practical thing to do:
Pitch a toadstool-headed boy into the fight to see what happens~!
"WHAT THE-?!" Mario shouted as a pale-skinned, black-eyed, human-like thing wearing white overalls and a red, white-dotted, very bloated cap crossed his line of fire with a yelp of its own.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Luigi gasped, clasping his fist to dismiss a slowly-building fireball at the sight of the toad-headed interrupter.
"What…?" Bowser trailed off, sharpened eyes following the strange creature as it bounced off the wood a few times.
"Oof! Ow! Youch!" it fittingly squeaked upon each bound of the floor. "Your majesty, must you be so rough…?"
"Whoopsies! I guess I threw a liiiitle too hard!" came a high-pitched apology from the other side of the field.
All eyes, human and reptilian alike, were drawn to the bystander like moths to a lightbulb—ignoring the capped boy as he darted back to his mistress. The woman standing there just smiled back innocently before fixing them all with a slightly playful glare.
"Now, you three should be careful! Nicole is sleeping, you know! We might scare her if we wake her…" she scolded, the cheeriness of her personality seeping into every word.
At that moment, Mario's jaw dropped open.

The Chairs spun like clockwork as the clocktower inched closer to it's usual spot. The mood was tense as always, children like Kanji, Waku and Kirie were staring in acceptance; children like Anko, Nicole and Freya were biting their nails in anticipation; Ichigo was biting Ushiro's nails in extreme anticipation, Kako was cowering in fear and the writer was typing a scene way ahead of schedule as the seal appeared on the floor of the cockpit. Ultimately the chair on which it landed was that of...

Episode 12
Chapter 34: Time's up
School
Nakama was going about her usual routine of cleaning up the local classroom as the local trio of girls watching and glareing at her expense. Going towards the window to tap away the chalk on the eraser, Nakama was greeted with a washcloth being tossed at her. She glaced towards three of her classmates who had stayed to watch for a second before returning to work. A second cloth returned her attention to the girls who were now giggling at her with the main girl asking: "So... What's up, Nakarai?"
She stared furiously at them before she got back to the window, but couldn't get in a single tap before the girls tossed two more washcloths at her. This naturally irritated Nakama to the point where she broke out her ruler (Which she had used to tap the eraser clean). Raising her arm was enough to stop their laughter, but the thought of hitting them briefly crossed Nakama's mind before she put the ruler down saying "Clean up. It's why you're here, right?"
The girls did nothing but laugh in her face. "'Why we're here', Just who the hell does she think she is? Ya say some big things to make up for being the daughter of a whore, huh?"
Her eraser-cleaning pace was quicker than ever. "Why waste your time here when you could be hunting for dad?"
"I don't think she'll find him, it's impossible by now!" said the portly friend.
"Oh-ho! That's right!" smirked the main girl. "With the History her mom has whoring herself out on the street, the possibilities are way too vast for little ol' Mako."
This made Nakama yell back: "How dare you speak of mother so..."
"Shamefully? Oh, right. You were raised on Disney, they'd never make whores under their dominion... at least not your mother's definition of whores." Snarked -main girl-, well aware of the Live Action re-interpetations of Disney's animated classics that are still a thing in-universe, unfortunately...
Nakama got back to cleaning as her classmates laughed at her work.
As long as I forfill my obligations. Everything will be okay.
For as far back as I could remember, I've always tried to be a model student because the life that my mother had led before I was born would always bug me in life. So that I'd always be told I was reliable and respectable, So that no one would hate me, I always tried to be helpful to others.
Where in god's name did I go wrong?

"Wait, you let one of your fellow matyrs bite it on your watch! The least you could do is have him die fighting, y'know." Koyemshi's remark gave Aqua an idea. "Well, the show must go on, bucko."
"But not with him!"
Koyemshi glared at the bluenette. "What?"
"You heard me, Koyemshi! Kako's in no shape to fight this battle." Aqua stated, "You need to select a pilot to fill his shoes for the moment!"
"And if I refuse?" Koyemshi was rewarded with Aqua's hand squeezing his head.
"I'll crush your plastic skull just like what happened to the one friend I had left in this shellhole!" Aqua roared.
Aqua squeezed tighter and tighter and tighter still, cracking the forehead a bit before- "Alright! I'll do it just...STOP THAT, YOU BAHITCH!"

"You see, I left some blue roses...for the friends I made at my old school... And I'm sure that... they'll want... to see me again..."
Takashi felt her grip loosen as her head sagged downward. The last of the Wayfinders has fallen.

"How dare you fiddle with the Toys we gave you!" roared an omniscient masculine voice to Deus upon the subject of the shattered crystals
"Grand Afterkai Gapapa, It's not my fault! The boy combined two mechs with multiple components to one of the Robots." Deus pleaded to the unseen voices in the room, desperate to get them to understand the earthlings. "If anything, it allows for a more fuel efficient and cost effective solution to their battles!"
"But look what you've done to our Ghost Crystals..." cried a motherly voice as the image of rows upon columns of green crystals stand tall, except for fifteen empty spaces and the piles of rubble that cover them, "Oohh... Deus..."
"...No." Deus was in shock by this revelation that a ghost crystal—let alone fifteen of them—had been shattered. "The engines tapped into the resource, didn't they?"

Back at their native earth, Mordecai and Rigby made themselves at home via a couch, a TV and a Laserdisc player being teleported from their usual spots in the Troughtonville park's headquarters. Maki, Kodama, Terra, Sora, Kozue, Seki, Tanaka, the Baby Ducks, The Disc-based Gaurdians and the rest all sat together around said couch and watched Disney's first-ever outsourced animated classic: Kingdom of the Sun.
They all enjoyed their film while Maki glared at the still very present corpse of their fallen friend, Grace.
No sooner did the body vanish and the chairs began their usual rotation. The group reacted in shock as usual but it was less impactful since they've gotten used to death being a constant companion in their adventures.
"Ahhh... Guess this means another battery's being selected, huh?" Mordecai sighed to the group, gaining a mean look from Kodama. "I'm Sorry, but in the words of a pre-dork age Cartoon Cartoon Character, this whole damn thing you're going through so far, it does not look okay."
"Let's quit now, we've already left some of our otherworldly comrades without a home..." Komo restated,

Sora opened the bag as the Dragon Balls fell one by one. Each one was cracked somewhat, not that they noticed or anything.
"Arise, Great Dragon Shenron!" Sora Roared. "Hear our wish and come forth!"
The starry skies turned blood red with cosmic energy as the Dragon Balls floated above the ground as black smoke seethed through the cracks to take the form of a blue dragon of raw sloth and avarice.
"So scary-desu!" cried Su.
"S-So that's Shenron?!" stuttered Yaya.
"Well, the Dragon Balls brought him here, didn't they?" Kako replied before assuming: "So maybe it's the Shenron of our world, am I right?"
"I don't know about you, but I've got a bad feeling about this..." Maki added.
"Yo, I hear you grant wishes, right?" yelled Waku.
The Dragon sneered, "Oh, yeah. I'm a master of granting wishes!"
"I don't know about you, but something seems off about this Dragon." Tanaka mentioned. "I just can't find a reason to trust this thing."
"Have some respect, Woman!" Kiseki barked to the adult. "He is an Eternal Dragon capable of providing me with world conquest!"
"The fresh outside air is so delicious!" mused the Dragon as he looked at his surroundings "Although it does taste a bit different than usual. Nonetheless, It's been far too long since I awakened my power and the world was born anew!"
"Somehow, I doubt this is how eternal dragons like him behave." Moji stated to the group "Is he saying that 'Master Hand' thing was right about Marco's magical prowess?"
"Only one way to find out, Hey Shenron. Resurrect the pilots of Zearth on the Earth Marco had created when the final round has been completed!"
The dragon has lit a cigar and spoke. "How cute, you want your friends to come back after your battles."
"'Cute'... You don't mean you're-not granting our wish, are you?!" yelped a stunned Kusukusu.

And so with that, Kanji handed Anko his jacket.
"Thanks, Kanji..." she blushed.
"Don't sweat it, I've got a few others back home!" snarked Kanji. "I just don't want you wandering off like that!"
"It's not the Jacket, Kanji... It's me." replied Anko, "I could fight as Zearth Yellow because you were there for me."
"Anko..."
The girl placed her hand on the boy's face. "When the time comes, Promise me you'll be with me til the end."
"I promise. I will always stand by you!" Kanji declared.

"Actually, that's not what I figured out with Xion." Kirie explained, "The Haunted Mansion case was nothing but a distraction...a fun distraction but it was keeping us away from the truth in Vain."
"What do you know about it, Fatso!?" Kako sneered.
"I'm saying that I know who Xion was going to mention to Rya. Someone who knows the mech inside and out!"
They gasped and glared about, wondering who it could be.
"Wait, if you're saying it's someone who knows MZ top to bottom..." hypothesized Waku.
"That means It's someone from the innermost circle..." added Moji before glancing to a fishing chair, "Machi, you certainly know the most out of all of us..."
"Uhh, Thanks! I-It's nothing really!" stammered Machi in a nervous tone.
"I noticed that she was acting strange during Grace's battle." Kirie recalled.
.flashback.
"Hey, now that you mention it..." realized Kanji.
"C'mon, guys. What are you saying?" Machi smiled nervously. "It's not like I'm-"
"And we also have to remember how Machi acted around Zearth." Moji recapped, "Not to mention the camping trip, where you asked us to go in the cave."
.flashback.
Machi was silent for a second or two before uttering "Well, It was kind of my curious mind that-"
"Cat's out of the bag, huh." Ichigo sighed.
"So you've been spying on my brother and me!" Yelled Machi, promptly spilling the beans in front of the rest of the Kyuseigers.
"Yes, And I know of the endless cycle they've trapped us in, Machi and Kokopelli were sent in from different canons to gather and contract fifteen innocent lives." Ichigo declared. "and with the little overload, they're gonna jump to separate worlds with you as the pilots for the following cycles instead of, y'know, playing their role and contracting newbies?!"
Machi breathed... "I just..."
"What the hell..."
Anko was disgusted by the nature of their battles before, but this fruity little plan of Machi-kun's was ultimately too much. "Why would you do this to us?!"
A slap to the face was all Ichigo needed to see before realizing what he's done, but Anko kept slapping and slapping.
"We go through hell and back, too, y'know!" fumed Anko, "What do you think we've all been through?!"
"Anko, Stop it!" yelled Kanji as he went to pull away Anko by her arms.
"We've lost friends and destroyed worlds because of you?!" Anko yelled as she struggled to escape Kanji's grasp. "Let go of me!"
"It's too cruel..." sobbed Komo as Anko is dragged out of the Pizza!Pizza!ria "Why would anyone do this..."
"I don't know!" declared Ichigo, channeling top-percentage actor Christopher Walken. "By the way, Food's here."

A Battle of Epic Proportions
Sadistic Choice
Due to the Dead
A field of flowers surrounded Kozue, her duty as Zearth Pink done. The remaining heroes-Pilot and Figurine alike-leave behind a single lunar flower for her.
"She's Dead! Zearth Pink is Dead." sobbed Monita as she floated low whilst Freya and Caitlyn silently wept in each other's shoulder.
"Like everyone else before, and everyone else after..." Chizu solumnly stated.
"How could you say that!" barked Maki, taking a break from weeping in the arms of Komo. "She was almost to the end of the game!"
"But from her perspective, she's been relieved of our true destiny." Marco grimly replied as he stared into his gloved right hand. "A destiny that lies far from the world we call home."
"Kozoe!" Cried Anko, as she bawled into the lifeless breast of her fallen comrade.
As everyone mourned for their fallen comrade, a mysterious young man lerked in the shadows, shedding a few tears here and there as he pressed a button...
...re-igniting a familiar set of colorful light patterns.
"Guys, Look. Zearth Pink's fiber-optic network node's been activated!" Anko smiled as a sign of life is shown. Unfortunately, 'twas not from their friend but of the mantle of Zearth Pink as it projected the thoughts and memories of Kozoe over the course of the whole ordeal.
"KOZOE!!" Cried Anko. Both Tenusei sisters were bawling in Maki's chest.
"It'll be okay, kids. She's with the others now." She conforted the two, thinking back to those who went before her.
"Of course, she's now joined Sarah, Maya, Adam, Maria, Ichigo and everyone else." Waku added as he grieved for his fallen friend as much as he could muster, they were naturally desensitized by the deaths of each pilot but this deserved every bit of their grief they could muster.
"She died a hero in the way in which she wanted." Moji replied. "She more than deserves this just reward."
"A brave and strong young woman hidden in the frame of a feeble yet kind young girl." Kanji added.
"A true friend, never to be forgotten. Always by our side whenever she feels the need to help." stated Kako in his hidden sorrow. "And now she's given the greatest gift of all: her very own life, like everyone who piloted the Mighty Zearth before her and everyone who shall do so after."
Ushiro did not say anything, he didn't want to shed a single tear.
Yet it happened anyway.
Footnote
Zearth Pink is gone, but-just like the other battles prior to and beyond her own-this death was not a useless death. With her precious gift of life, she staved off the pruning of their world and thus, saved the remaining Saints on the Kyuseiger Team. Her presence proved vital to the world's purpose in the multiverse and the fight against the Subspace Empire. Her memory lives on in the hearts of all she had met throughout her existence from her birth in the form of her loving parents to the friends she's made thoughout Zearth's journey towards the realm that Marco paved. Wherever there is evil, injustice, and hatred towards the human race for a willing soul to overcome, her shining example will always be an inspiration.
Homecoming
After a long day of suffering, it feels somewhat satisfying to the Ushiro siblings that Kanji and everyone else managed to survive. But everyone else has decided to head home to tell their respective families of the secret, they have all agreed to tell the familes of the pilots who fought the twelve battles thus far, finishing up at an as-of-yet undetermined location.
He made his way to the bed as Kana had already tucked herself in. "Brother."
The boy sat on the edge of his side of the bed. "Tanaka's not coming, is she? Nor Seki or Rya..."
"Sorry..."
His hands held up his drooping head. "So I'm thinking this one out alone, Some group of friends they've turned out to be..." He sighs to himself as Kana looks to him and says: "Brother..."
He looks back at her in shock, she seems solumn in her eyes. "I wouldn't mind...if I had to join the contract, too. If means that you would survive then-"
"Why would you do it, you little brat! We're only cousins at best, not even siblings! What makes you think you want to do this?!" Ushiro raised his arm to throw another punch, Kana cowered in response and cried: "No! Stop talking like that, Brother!" Making her older 'brother' freeze up in her tracks.
"You were sad about mom... I was, too. And so, I wanted to stay by your side this whole time. I don't want you to die... But... I-I... I dont want to die either."
Kana wept as Ushiro made his way out of their 'Apartment' this got Kanji to notice as he made his way outside.
"Something's up, buddy?" Kanji asked his old friend.
"Why did Deus choose us? Why would he go through all this trouble just to stuff enough kids into this wretched 'game' to save me, you and all of us?!" Ushiro inquired to Kanji.
"Beats me... But if you're chosen to die-"
"No one would miss me, not even Kana."
Ushiro exited the lobby and made his way to a payphone.
"That's not true, Kana wants you safe and happy, she's acting as your little gaurdian angel just so you don't go off the deep end or anything!" Kanji fumed, only to realize that Ushiro had already left his line of sight. "But beside that... I would."
Ushiro was calling a certain someone on the phone, someone he knows all too well. "Hey, dad. It's Jun... Yeah... A couple days from now, we'll be heading home with Kana... I've also got some friends over from the summer nature school I'd like to show you."

"Happy holidays...happy holidays...let the merry bells keep ringin', happy holidays to you..." Cress uttered under his breath, the song having been drilled into his memory by a radio station as of late. It was only in part annoying, seeing how it was the right season.
A blaring white blanket of crisp, untouched snow beckoned from outside, but at the moment he was too concerned with more pressing matters (finding the right amount of clothes, for instance). The stuff had arrived seven days too early for anyone to be dreaming of a white Christmas, but it was at least more serene than the view of dead grass and naked trees. It was very cold, and if it wasn't for Marco "returning a favor", Cress would still be in bed thanks to the heavy layers of frost and fluff on the window.
Cress was startled from his laundry-hunting by an outcry of, and I quote, "OH MY HOG THE SKY IS FALLING!"
Dropping what he was doing, he darted out of the bedroom and swung open the door to the playroom-nearly hitting Ness again. "Whaddya mean, the sky's falling?!"
Sitting on Marco's Desk, right in front of the window, was a shocked Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Luigi. Kirby's jaw was on the platform as he stared high up, Donkey Kong having a panic attack in the form of rapid ook-ing and circling, while Luigi trembled from both the chill and apparent fear of snow.
"What are you guys talking about? It's just snow," Marco asked, having paused in the hallway from both Cress darting in front of him and the pig-cursing outcry.
"'its no'? We shouldn't see it?! Is the world ending?! Have the great deities above forsaken our existance after all we've been through?!" Luigi cried out hysterically.
"Its snow," Cress corrected. "You know, frozen water molecules that are hitting the ground."
"We're going to be flooded?!"
"Ugh, Luigi, think," Samus moaned. "It's like rain. Just cold, frozen, white...and fluffy."
"Oh. That's good," Luigi sighed, collapsing onto his rear. Donkey Kong did the same, while Kirby stayed as still as ice...and began to drool.
The naïve puffball suddenly attacked the window, though obviously aiming for the fluff known as snow, and suctioned himself to the glass in an attempt to vacuum the new material up. Which left him sucking the panel like a leech, licking the cold condensation but missing the snow by a mile.
"...it broke Kirby!" Ness accused.
"Huh...I guess you haven't seen snow before, right?" Marco glanced to his right, where Link was polishing his shield-yesterday's brawl against Kirby left it in a slimy, saliva-coated state.
Link shrugged without looking up, continuing to wipe the metal over with a scrap of cloth Caitlyn had loaned him. To be honest, they hadn't; it never snowed in the humid jungle, but it sure as shell did rain.
"Okay. Crisis averted? Because we need to keep packing," Cress stated coolly, turning on his heel and heading back to the room. Marco cringed as Kirby continued to suck the glass, but eventually joined him; they were heading off to the train station to re-unite with the other City-native Kyuseigers.
"...Kirby, stop," Samus sighed, slapping her face. "You're going to hurt yourself."

Lea
The Group has gathered around the Corpse of Lea as the chairs once again rotate, with the group now in complete control.
"All that's left is to pick out the next set of Pilots, which Deus has declared a no-no for our survival." Snarked Shiro.
"But there's still the fact that there's a final foe in our way..." sighed Machi.
"Please, let me do it." pleaded Terra.
"No, the task is mine." Riku rebutted.
"Riku, You can't do this!" Sora yelled.
"We've lost too many of us, even my own father sacrificed himself for our cause!" Terra roared back, gradually sounding sadder. "At least let me save you so I can join my friends!"
"I'm not running away, Terra!" stated Riku, "If this is the price of balance the whole of creation has to pay, I need to be willing to make the sacrifice!"
The group stared at the two. Sora shocked at how Riku would want to fight immediately after.
"Seki-san...Tanaka-san..." Riku said in front of the Officials, "Thank you for everything you two and Rya have done for us."
With a bow, Riku watched as the symbol on their final foe of the season appeared on the ground beneath their feet.
"So it's decided?" Machi said.
"Yes, I'm ready." Riku replied as Shiro sighed: "No more Johns, bucko."
"Win this fight so we can all move on to the new world." added Machi as the chairs landed on Riku's Chair. The corresponding Markings appear on Riku's Face.
Sora hugged his best friend, knowing that his fate had been sealed. Then came Kairi and Ushiro, Waku, Moji, Marco, Cress, everyone got together and hugged Riku in the biggest group hug since the Film Adaptation of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
"Can somebody get some tissues" sobbed Caitlyn. (Reevee21: I'm on it!) And then a box of Cleenex appeared on the Clocktower Face as our crew waddled to it as it was the best they could do...
That'll do, OFA, That'll do.

Chapter X: You are Number Six
Author's Start Note

Kana awakens in a small, octogon-shaped pod. "Brother...Where are you?" Kana wandered about and finds a number 13 littered across the pod. «Good Morning/Evening/Afternoon, 13»
"Huh? Who said that!" She glanced over to a screen with a green octogon in the center.
«Welcome to Solitary, My name is VAL»
1
"Cut the Riddles, Where are we?!" Waku yelled to the screen as a voice replied: «A mothership headed to an alternate universe, with it's loyal autopilot behind the wheel from the safety of the realm of applause.»
"Hold on, you're... a computer... f-from the realm of applause?" Waku stammered. «I am a computer from the realm of applause who is super-excited with the infinite possibilities of treatments and exploitations that can ensue with an experiment of this magnitude, yes. You are correct, Number One.»
"And what the hell's up with the numbers?" Waku spouted. "Don't you want to know my name first?"
«Names are meaningless to me. You are the prizoner within the Pod, the number is all the identity you need.»
42
"whatamigonnado, whatamigonnado, whatamigonnado, whatamigonnado, " Haruhi continued to repeat this question several times before VAL goes to calm her down. «Please remain calm»

Chapter Z: Big Red Button

«What made you figure out that was the right button, even with the myriad treatments and training I have simulated this past year?»
"Because you don't scare me at all, VAL!" Kana said to the AI. "I have been a part of something greater than your experiment can ever hope to be! We've lost so many of our friends, been through so much tougher scrapes, took much risks for the sake of our world. To me, a Saint of Zearth, Your treatments are nothing, these pods are nothing, You. Are. NOTHING!"
«...»
«In other words, you believe that what you've seen during your life as a Pilot of the Mighty Zearth is much more difficult than Solitary as a whole?»
«Impressive, You are free to join your brother in the lobby.»
The door opens to reveal that Cress, Marco, Waku, Moji, Greg, and Jun lined up waiting for her.
«Words cannot describe how proud I am of you, even after I revealed that I left the genopause code out of your DNA, You are the last of the subjects I have in Solitary, now is the time for your true training to begin.»
Youth
One of the electromagnetic warp pulses strike a nearby asteroid as a fellow watches it crash in the middle of the tar pit his crewmates are currently occupying, sending them all into the pool of Tar made from the collapse of the myriad pits collapsed into one.
When the data cube dispelled, it revealed Masaru, Freya, Caitlyn, Machi, Yumi, Shiro
Uh, Oh. Between the youth-tar overdose and the dismembered einstein wannabe, this definitely looks like an improper place to park your transwarp. How will our heroes get to universe 2015, find out in the next episode of Not Digimon: Digital Monsters!
Cue Zoidberg crawling up Machi's shoulder to shout: "Hooray! I'm a Teenage Heartthrob again!" judging by the fact that Machi's looking freaked out at the slug on her shoulder, I'm fairly certain that Zoidberg is anything but.

"DAYUM! 9000?! That'll cause radiation up the Yin-Yang!" Farnsworth yelped, "As spiral energy strengthens any and every organic lifeform beyond what's humanly possible, so do the chronitons in our systems, crushing the microbes on the spot and making us younger by the minute!"
Everyone infected were shocked at this twist. The Multiversal Aliens were afraid of what would happen to the others.
"So what, I'm gonna go through ALL my larval stages?" complained as Zoidberg degraded into a -|-
"Word!" Farnsworth confirmed. "We'll keep getting younger and younger until we suffer a fate worse than death... PRE-LIFE!"
"...then death."

"A touching moment stuffed with enough emotional turmoil to last ten billion lifetimes." The Lich walked closer to the Newly-Crowned god. "Don't worry, boy... You'll be joining your queen of the cosmos very soon."
"And when you do, make sure you tell her: Like a Bitch." Dark Elsa added.
"What!" spoke the Litch.
The octagon spoke to the Litch and the Litch spoke back...
"uh, h-hello..." ...in a completely different voice.
"Jon, we found you, cheeky so-and-so."
"Richard!" The Litch continued before snapping back to Ron Perlman mode. "How?"
"It was simple, really..." added another voice. "We followed the clues."
"Oh, yeah." 'Jon' recalled before the Litch pushed back in control "What! What does he mean 'clues'!"
"It means we know who you are," a female voice.
"Yes, we've had the pleasure of meeting before." and one last dude.
"You!" the Litch scowled at his former vessel.
"You see, after you attempted this last time, Jon got us to investigate what happened to Dan."
"Why you insolent-" The Litch was interrupted by 'Jon' regaining control "I'm the bloody leader of FiveWhoFans, It's my job"
"Actually, it has absolutely nothing to do with this 'FiveWhoFans' villain facade he had to put up." Said a voice that absolutely everyone can hear. "You see, he used the OneWhoFan puppet to posess the entirety of Earth DW63 to build multi-dimensional robots for universe after universe to battle for their continued existence, The Universes that lose their mech the Litch consumes as well as the Pilot who offed it in the first place."
"What a Prick." remarked 'Richard'
"But you're not really the Litch, are you. You're nothing more than a projection of his evil!"
-CUT-
On Earth-DW63, a swarm of dark shadows flow out of the Xehaclone Masterminds as they return to their normal identities
And now that Kana 2.0 has up and killed herself, there's no more puppets to project the pullstrings onto your race of maggots and thus, no conceivably viable reason to build Giant Robots connected to you for such a process.
-CUT-
"They don't even give a Shell about Multidimensional Diversity." Mr Popo finished.
"Wait, if the Litch's grip on that earth is loosening..." Dark Elsa panicked "Then that means the Starcrunchers are-"
Ready to be Dismantled.
Dark Elsa glared at us Co-Authors.
Chapter Z: Distant Finale
Cool and Unusual Punishment
"Nana?"
'Where Are They Now?' Epilogue
Up at the Lookout
The Doctor was never seen again. He became death for those who never deserved to exist, he became hope for those who find the will to climb out of the darkest holes, but most of all, he became the lingering memories that tied us all together.
Song and Cell joined Dende up at the lookout, where they continue to watch over the evolution of the human race after the events of multi-dimensional trasmutation had transpired.
They also take to the Training of the Z-Fighters of the Planet Trade Federation, which was recently reorganized by it's new king; lord Freeza Cold.
Birth of the DWMA
Deus and his successors joined with Lord Death and his wife to found a new school for Death Weapons-Meister teams that were free of the god's lethal contracts, choosing to contact those scarred by the conflict to enlist in the academy when the past caught up with the present. The surviving Kyuseigers all declined in the end, for they are more than happy with the power they've got right now.
Another who denied the call was the Suzuki family, wanting the seven reborn Nanas to live relatively normal lives away from their new Icejin abilities. Rokuzo received the regular Nana, The Hinatas took care of the ones with a red biogem and a yellow-green biogem. Mami took up the responsibility of the green-gemmed and yellow-gemmed grub, leaving the one in orange and purple with Goji and Mitsuko. You should've seen their expression when they saw the face on the grown grub's sealed form!
Speaking of comebacks, Cell used the Dragon Balls to undo the untimely deaths Deus deems worthy of a second chance. Among those was Yukari Sendo, her soul now containing the Death Weapon form of her evil contractor Mako Yakumaru.
Now renamed Yuno after the first victor of Deus' future prediction survival game, the fully-grown form Yukari took during her time in the contract is now a separate identity acting as her meister.
Wishful Thinking
And that was not all the Dragonballs were used for, as a matter of fact, an entire universe was rebuilt with the DragonBalls. From what I could gather, twas a world where the evils of 'adult tyranny' were combatted with a special organisation of Youngsters because Kid Power... Try to figure that one out...
And a futuristic realm was born anew the moment we wished Lewis back from the grave.
Here's A Sandwich
However, some of our friends did not remember what had transpired during our adventures with the Mighty Zearth, some of them weren't even revived at all, much to the discomfort of the unsatisfied families of those unfortunate souls.
"I am dreadfully sorry, but I believed that you were erased from existence but somehow you managed to survive the reorganization of the multiverse." Deus congratulated the loving couple. "And for this miracle of miracles, you shall receive a gift worthy of your survival: an extra hour in the ball pit."
At that moment, a patchwork ball pit appeared in front of Mr and Mrs Toriyama.
"Please, we just want to see our son again!" begged Mr Toriyama.
"We came to you because we love Tomoki from the bottom of our heart!" pleaded Mrs Toriyama. "Can't you at least bring him back directly with your god powers?!"
"I'm afraid his immortal soul has been permanently extinguished by the Mighty Zearth's ecologically problematic engine, I am sorry that you went all this way for nothing." Deus solumnly sighed before teleporting a big bowl of hot cinnamon rolls and a mini-fridge. "So to make it up to you, help yourself to my infinite supply of cinnamon rolls during your extra hour in the ball pit. And since I don't like leaving people empty handed, here's a sandwich."
Mr Toriyama is then handed a sandwich Deus got from the mini-fridge "But-"
"Thanks for coming over to our hundreth episode, everypony!" Muramaru chimed to you, the ka-viewer. "Good Night!"
"NOOO!!! MY SON IS DEAD!!!" Cried Mrs Toriyama in complete and utter despair from losing her child. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
