Shikhazra:
*She makes her way up to Sasuken and leans on the wall beside him*
So...got stabbed huh? That's rough.

Ferret:
*Meanwhile she is exploring the seashore with the occasional unethical experiment on the sealife. She has already amassed a few dozen mutated starfish, octopi, and fishier fish waddling along behind her. She's muttering irritatedly to herself as she injects a seagull with something that makes claws burst from it's wings and it to grow long raptorine talons before tossing it behind her to join her retinue.*
Thinks he'll experiment on ME does he? Well I'll so him! Turn him into something worse then a girl this time, oh yes I will.

K'theenya:
*Has celebrated by passing out under a table*

Sasuken: Urk, uh, yeah. Guess I was trying to pick a fight I couldn't win. Welp, I may have a hole in me, but that shouldn't stop me from staying true to my word. would you like to join me on that date I mentioned?

*Looks to Kazeshini*

Sasuken: Shut up you stupid sword.
----

*Vultran is baffled by Ferret's disappearance*

Vultran: *Mumbles* Leave me and my needles will she? I'll actually mutate her this time, instead of just injecting her with vitamins. Wait til I find you you little fur ball...

*Begins wondering around the ship*
----

*Kurenitsu and Asumaru wonder inland, speaking with the locals*

*Trixitin is in a cave off the coast, meditating*

*Hokagetsu is following the coast to a grotto filled with scarred trees from repeated training exercises*

Shikhazra: Yeah, yeah. I was hoping you'd say that. Hard for me to tell with you people. Lemme call the other third of this date. Ahem.
*clears throat and takes a faux-dramatic pose and speaks in a monotone.
Yay. I have a date with this guy. I sure hope that stupid cat doesn't show up. She would ruin everything.

*Magically Blue appeared beside the two of them in a wash of pink sparkles*

Blue: Ooh! It's date time? I was playing with a freaky insanity causing sapient notepad!

[ Deep In Space: ]

*A familiar ship jets through the void*

*From within its sleek crimson hull, two figures argue*

CMZ: ...Are we there yet?

CMN: NO.

CMZ: Are we there yet?

CMN: NO.

CMZ: Are we there yet?

CMN: NO.

CMZ: Are we there yet?

CMN: SHUT THE F--K UP ZEV!!

CMZ: 'Kay. *Falls silent*

*Neither says a word for a long time*

CMZ: ...Are we there yet?

*PAFF*

CMZ: AWCH!!

CMN: Now shut up.

CMZ: 'Kay.

*The ship continues on its way through space*

*It approaches a small planet...*

Sasuken: 0.0.... I was going to say something, but then I remembered where I am. Anyway, Where you two want to head? One of those three I mentioned previously, or perhaps you have a place in mind yourselves?

[At Socah's House]

Socah: Again, Sasuken? WHY?

*Pulls out is Mortar and Pastel and begins the repairs at which he has become so accustomed*

Socah: When i become a Toa, I am killing you first

[ Tatooine, underground: ]

*Kakamu holds Ewen's head as he is taking swings, keeping him back as he is shorter*

----------------

[ Tatooine, the cave: ]

Seran: Well well well, vat does not sound good.

*All the others stare at him*

Seran: Vot? I am just a simple zhedi from Tatooine. Vot can I do?

OOS: Say 'zhedi' to yourself out loud. It's his accent.

<Tatooine, underground>

Ewen: Ow! Ow! Ow!

-----

<Tatooine, the cave>

Boris Johnson: None of us know what to do. We're stuck here. We might be stuck here forever. Unless you have a ship, that is.

[ The Council of the Great Beings: ]

WRB: (this)

--------------------

[ Tatooine, the cave: ]

Seran: Vell, I have a starshep out in the Wastes. It used to be my starfightar, but I haven't used it in yeers.

<the Council chamber>

TPK: Very well. *takes out his gun, and fires at the WRB*

-----

<Tatooine, the cave>

*the WRB appears in front of Boris Johnson*

BJ: Who the heck are you?

[ Tatooine, the cave: ]

*The WRB looks around him, confused. He examines the refugees instead of answering them*

Seran: I have seen a lot of fings, but never someone appear out of vin air!

*The WRB stays still, and curses under his breath*

WRB: Where am I?

Seran: You are on Tatooine, my home planet. But it is not ve home planet for ev'ryone.

--------------------------

[ Tatooine, underground: ]

Kakamu: Not so powerful now.

*He single-handedly throws Ewen aside, and stares at the spot where the black cloud was*

<Tatooine, the cave>

Boris Johnson: *aims his gun at WRB* Who are you?

-----

<Tatooine, underground>

*the black cloud reappears, and starts swirling around Kakamu's head*

???: Interesting. You certainly appear to be powerful. Perhaps I should take you as my next host.

*the cloud swirls ever more quickly, while Ewen takes the chance to run away*

-----

<the planet where the Keruvim used to be, a few weeks before the present day>

*the remains of Blackout's Darkmount city-ship are strewn all over the landscape, rusting uselessly after its destruction by Kakamu*

*suddenly, one of the Darkmount bits starts glowing green, and other bits begin sticking to it*

*eventually, the pieces have formed into what appears to be a gigantic silver robot crab*

*it opens a portal, and walks into it*

-----

<Shinobi-Nui, the present day>

*Blade is doing something, when he hears a crackling noise, followed by another crackling noise*

*the crab emerges from the water, and grabs Blade with one of its claws*

Dark Mounted Crab: You! You destroyed me! Now I shall destroy you!

*it begins squeezing Blade*

[Shinobi Nui]

Blade: Urk...I..destroyed...come again?

*Summons a bolt of electricity to release him from the crabs grasp*

Blade: Think you got me confused, buddy. I haven't destroyed anybody. You are PROBABLY thinking about that blow hard across the mountain. But if you want to fight, I'll gladly oblige.

*Pulls out his Lightning Chain Blade*

Blade: Round 1.
----
[The GB Meeting]

*Michael Westen speaks up*

MW: Listen, TPK, I can care less who leads us. I have work to do, things to blow up, maniacs to put behind bars. If you want to take the helm, more power to you, but if you don't mind, I'd like to leave now.

*Seraphimon, who was standing silent in a corner also raises his voice*

Seraphimon: I agree with the Burned Spy. I, too, have work that requires my attention. After the fiasco with Uterio, I am not getting involved in politics anytime soon. [Mumbling] Especially without Arceus to argue with.[/mumbling] So, I bid you ado.

[ Tatooine, the cave: ]

WRB: I am a Time Guardian. Enough has been said, who are you and where am I?

--------------------------------------

[ Tatooine, underground: ]

Kakamu: Heh, try it.

<Shinobi-Nui>

Dark Mounted Crab: *now speaking in a somewhat female-sounding voice* I am the Darkmount. And I will have revenge on my destroyers.

*the DMC hits Blade with one of its claws, knocking him over and making him drop his blade*

DMC: It is quite ungentlemanly to strike a lady!

*the DMC steps on the Chain Blade, breaking it*

DMC: On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with it when it's the other way around! *fires a laser beam at Blade*

-----

<the Council chamber>

TPK: If you wish to leave, no one is stopping you.

-----

<Tatooine, the cave>

Boris Johnson: My name is Boris Johnson, and this place is called Tatooine. If you are here, then it is probably because you annoyed TPK in some way. We're trying to get off this planet, so if you have any ideas feel free to offer them up.

-----

<Tatooine, underground>

???: Of course I will. My name is Trixalis, by the way.

*Trixalis enters Kakamu's head through his ears*

[Shinobi Nui]

Blade: THE Darkmount? Sorry, I don't know a 'THE Darkmount'. Now, Blackout used to have a ship called Darkmount, and would smite ANYONE who put a 'The' in front of it. Very insistent he was.

*Blasts Darkmount with with a bolt of electricity, rolling away while doing so*

----

[GB Meeting]

*The two leave to tend to other agendas*

<Shinobi-Nui>

DMC: That is I!

*she kicks Blade into a shore cave, then fires missiles into said cave*

*Chuckling can be heard from within the cave*

Blade: [Distant and echoing] Then why hasn't Blackout destroyed you yet? It matters not, Metal boy isn't the only one who has been hoarding things.

*From the depths of the cave, a light blue radiance emerges and slams into the Dark Mounted Crab*
*Blade walks out with a long White sword with elegant blue hilt in the shape of a pair of extended wings in his left hand, and a shield of a deep blueish purple, emblazoned with three yellow-gold triangles and a crimson bird beneath them in his right*

Blade: HI-YA! Round 2.

<Shinobi-Nui>

DMC: Perhaps it is that he has better things to do than enforce his Insistent Terminology on a character he doesn't yet know exists?

-----

<Socah's house>

*Socah's wall breaks again*

-----

<back on Shinobi-Nui>

*the DMC gets hit by the radiance, and one of its legs is slightly burned*

DMC: Why you..... *opens her mouth* What's that meme.....ah yes.....IMMA FIRING MAH LAZER!

*the DMC fires a huge laser blast from her mouth, which hits slightly underneath Blade*

*Blade is sent flying backwards, but rolls on impact, running up to DMC, slashing at it's injured leg*

Blade: Well, then, let's clue him on, eh?

*Pulls out him communicator, dials Blackout, tosses it across the beach, so that it can see and hear everything*

Blade: So, what did you call yourself again? The Darkmount? You don't seem to be as big as Blackouts ship. Besides, last i saw, that thing was blown to Timbuktu Three.

*Rolls between the crab's legs, striking at them again*

Blade: You sure you aren't an imposter?

<Shinobi-Nui>

*the DMC stumbles back into the sea, but crawls back out again*

DMC: Pieces remained.....though not many.....

*the DMC fires a cutter beam at Blade*

-----

<the ZFT homeworld>

*a man who looks a bit like this (would you believe that's not Hitler) walks into a room full of people and cameras*

???: Greetings, comrades. My name is Isaac Vopos. I am head of the Invisory Commission. My mission is to protect ZFT from its enemies.

*Vopos bangs his fist against a table*

Vopos: Do not think I am looking for justice! We are at war: either they crush us, or we crush them! Inter arma enim silent leges. Rest assured that I will show no mercy to those who seek to destroy us, be it from within or without!

*the people in the room cheer and applaud*

[ Shinobi-Nui: ]

...zzzzzz...

...ZZZZZZZZZ...

*Abruptly, a series of glowing white rings line up in the sky*

...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

ZZZZZZZZZZZTCCCCCHHHHH

THOOOOOMMMHHH!!

*With a cataclysmic explosive sound, a huge craft emerges from the Boom Tube*

*It is certainly familiar to anyone who was at a certain war against Uterio*

Engineer 1: M'lady! It appears that there are hostile individuals on this planet! The Praetorium Chapter aboard our ship is ready to descend and subjugate at any time!

Mai: ... *Stares down at the Dark Mounted Crab battling Blade* ...Don't bother. Cid's en route.

*As if on cue, with a much smaller explosion, a burly, smoking pile of person falls to Mai's feet*

Cid?: Heh...Heheh...Heh...Heh...Heheheh...I cannn seeeee preeeeettyyy colorrrsss...

Mai: *Sighs* What have I told you about using untested machines to warp yourself, Cid?

Cid: ...S...Sorry, Mai...Uuhhh...If you see any teeth lying around...They're prolly mine...

Mai: *Lightly uses toe of shoe to nudge him onto back* As your moirail, I'm obligated to tell you to not die. More importantly, you'd better not bleed on this dress. My mom'd have a coniption.

Cid: ...Uuuuuh...? *Grasps at something invisible in front of place* ...Are you the wizard...? With robes of gold...And eyes of fire...?

Mai: God. I should have listened to Zuko and not helped you. Now I'm stuck with you. *Strolls way*

Cid: *Writhes* ...No...Come...Back...Magic...Man...! Uuugh. *Konks out*

Mai: *Sits in an alcove, reading a book*

*Keichi, Treskis, and the crew all look at each other, shrug, and begin throwing chairs at the brawl*

*Quick Billy is already too drunk to move, and a crew member grabs him and takes him outside*

*SM Treveya grabs SM Abneris out of the brawl, and takes him outside*

SMT: "Listen, Abs, I would join you. But I have another league of Metallicon pirates helping me pick up a friend of mine. You don't know him, but he has big plans. Once I'm done with that job, I'll contact you, 'kay?"

*she winks at SM Abneris*

---

Heremus: "What's the plan?" *sips tea*

---

*the Baterra and Klak are with Nadle, who is sitting near a memorial site*

Me: We've been partying for over a day now. Nadle has decided to take a break.

Nadle: "I'm too old for that, hehe. How are you, Baterra?"

*he shakes the hand of the Baterra*

Baterra: "Fine, tar-I mean, Nadle."

Nadle: "Someone messed with your systems. Maybe we can get a Ghost to look at it later."

Baterra: "I'd rather be turned into a potato."

*looks at whoever is reading this post, and waits for him/her to get it*

*the wall breaks in front of Socah again*

---

Amanda Waller: "What did you say you wanted to report to the council, Dr. Vindi?"

Nuvo Vindi: "The amount of DNA that idiot Richtofen brought was not enough for the duplication process!!!"

Dr. Richtofen: "I vould not be an idiot if you were a more competent scientific mind!"

Dr. Hugo Strange: "Enough. We must find a reason to bring him here and convince him of the benefits of project Cadmus."

*everyone else nods their heads*

Amanda Waller: "Are there any other heroes the council wishes to add to the list?"

Dr. Strange: "My spies have observed one who took on the Lantern Corps single handedly and won. He is another veteran of the Uterio War. We can move forward."

Dr. Richtofen: "And Blackout? Vhy can't he be zhe one for zhe process?"

Waller: "No, Doctor. That is far too dangerous."

[ Tatooine, underground: ]

*The cloud enters Kakamu's head, but is unable to penetrate his mind due to his mind shield*

*GregF runs up, kicks the wall once, and runs off again*

=============================

[ Tatooine, the cave: ]

WRB: I can teleport, but I can only carry one person with me at a time, and unfortunately, that is myself.

Seran: I have a starfightar, like I saed.

WRB: *sigh*

<Shinobi-Nui>

DMC: *looks up* Wait, who the heck are you people?

-----

<Tatooine, underground>

Trixalis: "Odd. There appears to be some sort of shield blocking me from your mind. Ah well, it was worth a try." *comes out of Kakamu's other ear, then vanishes into a portal*

-----

<Tatooine, the cave>

Boris Johnson: None of you are helping!

-----

<Merlin's lab>

Merlin: I.....have no plan. That's why I brought everyone here in the first place, so we could come up with a plan!

<outside the Cantina>

SMA: Okay, Trevvy. Just don't get yourself killed.

*he walks off, followed by the Stormtroopers*

-----

<the recently-conquered SMU world>

*the SMU soldiers are doing random things, when suddenly a transport ship flies overhead and drops a large ring*

*the ring starts hovering, and glowing*

*Rahkshi then start flying out of said ring*

*GGBlackout, Overlord Blackout and Barricade also come out of the ring*

GGB: I told you I was coming.....

*he fries several SMU soldiers with chain lightning*

Blade: HEY, eyes over here, mate. Your vendetta is with me!

*Raises his sword skyward, it glows a radiant blue, when swung, unleashes a swath of energy that slams into DMC again*
---

OOS: Waiting on Ferret to post with Sasuken

<Shinobi-Nui>

*the energy clearly damages one of the DMC's laser cannons, which she jettisons*

DMC: I am not your maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!

*she then fires more missiles at Blade*

-----

<the SMU world>

*GGBlackout is fighting SMU soldiers, when suddenly SMGenetoes appears in front of him*

SMGenetoes: *removes his hood in a dramatic way* I am Genetoes Roddenberry!

*nothing happens*

SMG: lolwut? *puts his hood back on, then removes it again* I am Genetoes Roddenberry!

*nothing happens*

GGB: You fool! Only insignificant characters can have their heads blown up! *traps Genetoes in a stasis field*

*meanwhile, OB is flying around shooting at things, while Barricade is standing around doing nothing*

*suddenly, in Barricade's eyes, everyone on the battlefield begins to look like a floating tophat or a man in a silly pirate costume*

Barricade: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

*he starts rampaging across the battlefield*

OB: Well that's odd. And convenient.

[ Tatooine, underground: ]

*Kakamu jumps into the portal after the cloud*

----------------------------

[ Tatooine, the cave: ]

*Seran waves his hand slowly at Boris*

Seran: My ideas are great, and the best ones evah!

Blue: Ooh, not too many places I like repeatedly visiting. Whichever you want works for me.

Shikhazra: *shrugs* Yeah. Places are places. They crop up, they die, keeping track of which are still around is too much work for me. So, yeah. Whatever.

Sasuken: Hmm, quite the quandary then. I would like to stop by New Z'Traa to see what has become of the rock we made, but we'd probably have more fun on Earth, with everything already set up and happening. Ah, but to go there, we would need to fetch Kurenitsu's illusionary abilities.

*A mist of sparks cascades around Shikhazra, disguising her*

Kurenitsu: (From the mountain) I can hear you. That particular illusion will give off whatever appearance the target wishes to be. Fades at midnight, so make sure you are in the carriage by then.

Sasuken: I have no idea if she is joking about that last part, so we better motor.

*Loads up into the Ironclad and engages the IPD, arriving on Earth, in fact, Paris, France*

Sasuken: The Humans find this city to be the most romantic. I haven't figured out why, but perhaps you can enlighten me.

*Vultran wonders in, mumbling, presses a couple buttons and beams the Trio down into an empty elevator in the Eiffel Tower. He continues back to his lab, mumbling*
----

*Blade rolls between the missiles, eventually climbing on top of them, making them smack into each other and landing on top of the DMC*

Blade: HIIIII...

*Raises his sword and carves a leg*

Blade: YAAAAAAAA!

Blue:
*she shifts herself into the form of an adorable human who looks more or less exactly like her cat self humanized except for her bright blue hair turning into a rich brown the color her stripes usually are, grinning broadly*
Earth! Why didn't you SAY we were going here? As for Paris I belive it's the special snails they serve here. They're part of an elaborate human mating ritual.

Shikhazra:
*she looks exactly the same except minus the wings and the erratic blonde streaks in her hair*
Huh. Haven't been on THIS rock in awhile. I thought it'd been blown up.

Blue: *latches on to Sasuken's arm* Well, clearly it got better.

Sasuken: It was, and in fact, we our selves make it a tradition to blow it up when we leave. It's always here when we come back, with no one remembering it ever being blown up afterwards. Funnily enough, we always see Poland floating off afterwards. Never been to Poland. So, then, let us find a restaurant and grab a bite, eh?

*Ding, the elevator hits the ground floor, doors opening*

----

*As Ynot sits alone in the Cabana, listening to the Ironclad rip off into the sky, he feels a slime on his face*

Ynot: What the...?

*He wipes it off and looks up to see two angry eyes staring at him from the cave roof*

Ynot: That had better have been mud.

*The earth beneath eyes bulges into a small sphere and drips onto Ynot's hammock as he rolls out of it*

Ynot: That's new.

*The ball of Mud and eyes sinks through the mesh of the hammock into the ground before rising back up, with a larger sphere beneath it*

Ynot: Mudball men? Well, now I've seen it all.

*The sides of the larger ball slice open, becoming arms, allowing the creature to crawl over to Ynot, who promptly teleports behind it*

Ynot: Ah, I see you are a Golem, and a poorly constructed one at that. So where's you caster?

*The mud blob lunges for Ynot, he side steps it to let it hit the wall*

Ynot: Never are to bright unless the user is of expansive knowledge. So I'd say your master isn't much of a magician, is he?

???: No, but Alchemy is where I excel.

*The ground beneath Ynot glows brightly as an earthen hand reaches out and grabs Ynot's legs*

???: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nicholas Flamel. You will not know of me, as..

Ynot: Erased all record of you from all libraries. You have sought out beings of extensive power to drain their abilities to extend your life.

Nick: How did you...?

Ynot: My library can't be tampered with. I've spent a millenia reading up on millions of potential threats to me. You were number 765. Can't say I ever expected to cross paths.

Nick: Then you know how dangerous I am, don't you?

Ynot: Hardly. You were given a threat level 3. 5 stars for Blackout, one star for mooks.

Nick: You are quite arrogant for someone who is about to be drained of all their strength.

Ynot: You are quite oblivious to the Storm Lion about to bite your leg off.

*Fedele bites down hard, forcing Nick to lose concentration and release Ynot*

Shikhazra: Hrm. We should probably avoid that in this instance...*she scans the street absently before looking at Blue and indicating a girl with red-blonde hair done up in four pigtails with a jerk of her head.* Hey, kit-kat is that who I think?

Blue: *she grins detaching herself from Sasuken* One way to find out! *She pounces on the girl* HEYSANYALONGTIMENOSEEHOW'SITGOIN'?

The indicated Sanya jumped about a foot in the air, green eyes wide.

Sanya: Wha? Blue, is that YOU? I thought you didn't visit anymore since that family of psychotic redheads packed up and left.

Blue: Nah, I got a date!

Sanya: O.O Who in the universe willingly asked a disaster area like you out?

Blue: A brave someone. Actually he asked Shikhazra out too! C'mere guys!

Shikhazra: *she made her way over* Yeah. Hey Sanya.

Sanya: *her eyes narrowed a bit* Look, I have no idea where her current location is. Some losers stole the marble while I was off on business.

Shikhazra: : D Oh, we're not after that. She actually currently out.

Sanya: *stiffens* And she HASN'T come to annoy her 'favorite student' yet?

Shikhazra: *slings an arm over Sanya's shoulders* Of course not. She's currently busy remembering the joys of spending life in a drunken stupor. Now, I'm busy at the moment, but later we are going to have a nice talk about you keeping a better eye on certain treasures you're trusted with hrm?

Sanya: *huffs* Fine. Yeah. Later. Seeing as it's clearly unavoidable. Is the masochist who asked you two out going to say anything?

((other pics of Sanya On the right Upper Left

*Sasuken blushes*

Sasuken: Well, I'm certainly no masochist, but my name is Sasuken. I'd say more, but as these two lovely ladies mentioned, I'm on a date. Unless you know a swinging place to grab a bite and chill, we should probably get looking for one. If you'd like, you can come along. More the merrier and all.

*The sky starts clouding, lightning flashing in the distance*

Sasuken: Oh no you don't...Be right back, I am NOT having my first date in a century ruined by rain.

*Sasuken rides up to the room of a tall building, sending waves of electrical pulses at the storm to push it away*

Sasuken: Good.

*Jumps from the building, sliding down the side to the trio*

Sasuken: Now that that's taken care of, where were we?

Sanya: Well, that was needlessly flashy. I'm afraid I have an appointment soon, but I am the owner of a string of nonhuman-friendly clubs. *fishing around in her pocket she comes up with a business card and hands it to Sasuken.* Blue, if you recall how to find the place I will meet you there. Later. *with a sigh she walks into the store she was loitering around outside*

Blue: The Place That Wasn't There Yesterday of course! Why didn't I think of going there earlier?

Shikhazra: Because we're both banned until further notice...which I guess we just got.

Blue: Oh, like that would stop either of us. Anyways follow me!

*Blue shot off into a back alley outright scaling a few buildings until they arrived at a dingy looking building with boarded up windows that looked more scary then welcoming. No sign was there to indicate that it was anything but a derelict health-hazard. Blue grinned as she indicated it.*

Blue: Yeah, this should be it. What do you guys think?

Shikhazra: ...I think her taste in locales is even seedier then I remember.

Terugan: Sir! We have good news! *runs back out of the office and to the place where Yon vanished*

*Shockwave arrives soon after him*

Shockwave: Report!

Terugan: We've found the teleport trace. We're quite sure it'll take us exactly where it did them.

Shockwave: What's the margin of error?

Terugan: Hmmmmm.....several kilometres?

Shockwave: I guess that'll have to do. Take me there now!

*one of the Terugans fires a beam of energy at Shockwave, and he disappears*

<Muta, Yon and Trantoshen's location>

*Shockwave appears behind Muta, Yon and Trantoshen*

Shockwave: *to himself* "Well, that's lucky....." *out loud now* The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. *aims cannon at Muta* Release the Terugan, and I will let you go on with whatever your business on this world is. However, if you don't, I shall have to destroy you. The choice is yours, be sure you make the right one.

*Barricade is mindlessly rampaging through the enemy ranks*

Barricade: RAREGROOVE, RAREGROOVE EVERYWHERE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

*he runs right into a black-armoured Glatorian's sword*

Glatorian: Stop, fiend! This fight will be settled honourably!

Barricade: *snaps out of it* Well, it's not very honourable if you already have a sword in my chest before starting, is it?

Glatorian: True. *pulls out the sword*

*Blade gets behind his shield, allowing it to take the lasers*

Blade: Ynot, eat your heart out.

*The shield gains a glass overcoat and begins glowing as the lasers seem to sink into the reflected image of DMC*

Blade: HUMPH!

*Blade pushes the shield forward, sending the lasers back at DMC*
----

Sasuken: Hmm, I have been down this way before, but there was no club then. Bah, magic is Trixitin's domain. Let's have fun!

*Entering the club Sasuken takes the girls by the hand and makes his way to the dance floor, starting things off with a back flip onto center stage*
----

*Ynot summons up a metallic spear to break the glowing inscription on the floor, then zaps the Golem with a sonic blast, disintegrating it*

Ynot: Fedele, Heel. Mr. Flamel, if you would like to try and claim my power as your life, you may try, but you are going to have to do a LOT better than that. Now, get off this island before you learn a new way to be sent into orbit.

*Fedele releases his grip, going back into the ring*

Flamel: You will regret letting me live.

Ynot: No, I wont. You have no hope of obtaining my abilities.

Flamel: You will realize what I mean shortly.

*The decrepit old man exits the Cabana, walking into the water and sinking into it*

[ Skys Above Shinobi-Nui, Mai's Ship: ]

*A bit later, Mai sits across a table from a heavily-bandaged Cid*

Mai: So. Have you got the Alchemiter you were so set on working properly?

Cid: Mm-hm. *Squirms uncomfortably*

Mai: What would you like to have to eat, Cid?

Cid: Mmmm...Hmmm...Mmrrh, hmf hrrf mmmff...Mmmh?

Mai: Alright. I'll be having some shrimp and lotus root tempura, rice, shaobing, and some fruit tarts for dessert. You'll have grilled eel, two liang of huhhot shumai, rice porridge, shrimp tempura, those grilled pork cubes you like, a bowl of cha siu bao, and for dessert, some mango pudding. Is that right?

Cid: Mm-hm. *Tries to move arm to pull bandages away from mouth*

Mai: Don't rush it. I know you're hungry, but you'll be fully-regenerated just in time to eat.

Cid: Mm-kugh. *Stops trying to move bandages from mouth*

Mai: *Calmly drinks a cup of green tea* By the way. Do you have any of those green tea cookies that we found in Liute?

Cid: Mm-hm! Mmm mh-mmmh mrr-hmm mff.

Mai: Good. We're almost out of fruit tarts, and I've been dying for those cookies.

Cid: Hm hm hm hm. *Stops fidgeting*

*Muta and Trantoshen look at each other, perplexed*

Yon: Okay.

*He puts his hands on his head and walks towards Shockwave, before suddenly blasting him backwards with a concentrated eyebeam*

*Muta and Trantoshen are shocked*

<Shinobi-Nui>

*the DMC fires her engines and tries to fly away, but the lasers hit and she falls into the water*

-----

<the rocky planet>

*Shockwave is blasted back into a small hill*

*he gets back up, and coughs*

Shockwave: *in a mechanical voice* Repair systems activated. Yon identified as traitor. Conclusion: eliminate.

*he starts madly shooting at Yon, Muta and Trantoshen*

[ Muta and Trantoshen's location: ]

*The three dodge the shots, but some puncture Muta's armour*

Muta: Gah.

*He trips over a rock, and lands on a metal square on the ground. To his surprise, a cube as big as him emerges from it. The cube then transforms into a robot*

???: RARGH!

*The robot runs up and around the landscape, shooting at Shockwave*

???: DIE, you alternate scum!

------------------------------

[ Jarvis' lab: ]

*Ferox seems to fall backwards into a chair at the same time that Jarvis dies*

Ferox: Argh... that human... took control of me! He developed a weapon that could control biomechanicals... well NO MORE!

*Ferox smashes Jarvis' equipment, and absorbs several machines with a Shadow Hand, growing bigger in size*

Ferox: Heheheh.

<the rocky planet>

*Shockwave dodges the shots*

Shockwave: Ugh, more idiots? Ah well. More to kill!

*he charges a big blast of energy, and fires it into the ground, causing a large explosion*

*DM Helryx contacts David Robert Jones*


DMH: "Rumours are spreading that the war is over. What are we supposed to do now?"

---

*SMT shakes her head*

SMT: "That's what I'm worried about."

*Keichi and co. reunite with her*

Keichi: "Where to next?"

SMT: "We need a ride. Someone who can get us to Krustallos and fast."

Keichi: "That's pretty damn far, Trev. We'll need someone who can do the Kessel Run in a few parsecs."

*Klak is sitting in front of a television screen in a building labelled "Central Command"*

*Next to Klak are two Malchiorians wearing gold and red*

*on the screen appears this man wearing Red and purple Spartan (from Halo) armor without a helmet*

Me: Mayor Rosen, how are you?

Michael Rosen: "Uhh. Feel a bit sick actually, uhh. We've got a problem that I think is best suited for you to handle."

Me: What happened?

Michael Rosen: "Well, uh, our province told us to handle it ourselves. You see there was an awful yelling and crying, and it turns out a scary plague got to our city. We only heard about it affecting the poorer areas. We never thought it would reach our city! Its sealed off, and we couldn't prevent it from spreading. Those who haven't evacuated are probably infected. Can you check it out?"

Me: Sure.

Michael: "MMM! Noice! Oh, uh, sorry, um, they are a bit dangerous. The infected might murder you."

Me: I'd love to see them try, Mr. Mayor. I hear the Governor sent a task force to help Nadle and I. Thank you very much, and Godspeed.

*TV turns off*

*Moments later, Klak is sitting in a Humvee with the Baterra, Nadle, 3 Red Malchiorians, and one White Malchiorian from another one of the Malchiorian planets*

Nadle: "Glad to see you are willing to help other people from other planets, Peter."

Peter: "Indeed."

*they arrive at the city called 'RacKoon City'*

Me: Where are the guards? The city walls aren't being protected.

Nadle: "We can only assume the worse. On your guard, men!"

*they enter the city, and begin walking through*

---

*Heremus sips tea*

*the Other Great Beings begin cursing in all sorts of tongues*

<the ZFT homeworld>

DRJ: How did you contact me, you were not authorized to use the communication system. Anyway, this is unimportant now. Our mission now should be to find war criminals and put them to justice. I have heard rumours that the traitor D-Klak is heading for his and your home universe. We have been putting together a team of Invisory Commission agents to capture him. If you wish to join the mission, you are free to do so.

<the SMU battle>

*Barricade and the black-armoured Glatorian walk away from each other, then turn towards each other, and bow*

Barricade: Before we begin, what is your name? I'd like to know who I'm going to kill.

Glatorian: My name is Rahn.

Barricade: Ironic. I once fought alongside your counterpart in this universe. Now I am fighting against you.

SMRahn: Indeed. *charges at Barricade with his sword*

Barricade: HA HA you actually fell for it. *blasts SMRahn in the face with heat vision* Did you really think I was going to fight honourably?

SMRahn: *now lying on the ground with a partially-melted face* Well, *cough* now that I *cough* think of it, I suppose it *cough* was a bit far-fetched..... *dies*

[ Muta and Trantoshen's location: ]

*The robot teleports through the explosion and punches Shockwave in the face*

???: I am MUTA, feel my fury!

*Muta is shocked*

Muta: I am Muta. Who are you?

*The robot stops beating up Shockwave and looks at Muta*

???: Gah! A puny version of myself from this universe. The Shattered Mirrorlings will have their revenge upon you!

*SM Muta telekinetically throws Muta into Shockwave*

--------------------

[ The SMU world: ]

*SM Masaharu is slashing at random enemies*

SMMas: Haha! Take that!

*Suddenly, a net is dumped on him from out of nowhere*

SMMas: Oh, rats.

*He sits down*

<Muta and Trantoshen's location>

*Shockwave ducks, and Muta flies into a hill*

Shockwave: 'Shattered Mirrorlings'? Really? That must be the silliest name I have ever heard.

*he jumps and kicks SMMuta in the head*

-----

<the SMU world>

*the person who dumped the net on Masaharu turns out to be a random Rahkshi*

Rahkshi: TAKE HIM!

*lots more Rahkshi appear and start dragging the net, and with it Masaharu, towards the Theta Gate*

OOS: Following Post-WW2 policies, aren't we DRJ?

*SM Helryx shakes her head*

SMH: "Don't worry about your comms system. Fighting an evil dictator makes you resourceful. *camera zooms out showing that she has built a contraption out of a tape recorder, a phone, a gun, a pixie stick, and some sort of water battery*VERY resourceful. As for D-Klak, don't move in just yet. I think I have an idea where he is. Considering the fact that the war is over, he's in a hospital. If you ever even find him, please don't hurt him. *pauses* I have an idea. Once he's recovered, I will draw him out for capture and bring him to you. I'll even wrap him with a ribbon."

---

*Klak, Nadle, The Baterra, and the task force have been walking for several minutes now*

Me: What in the name of Mike happened here?

Nadle: "The plague must kill its victims not long after infection. Don't be surprised if-"

*some bodies are seen*

Peter: "Dear Lord, have mercy."

Nadle: "Indeed."

*suddenly, two soldiers pop out of a corner and begin saying something strange*

Me: What are they saying?

Nadle: "It's an old language...I can't decipher it."

*they charge at the good guys, teeth baring*

Me: Try to subdue them, not kill them!

*they fight the infected*

*more of them begin to show up*

*the infected form of Klein appears as well*

*Meanwhile, Raziel stands on the rooftops of one of the buildings*

Raziel: "Had it not been for Kain, I would have been celebrating with my new brethren."

[ Skies Above Shinobi-Nui, Mai's Ship: ]

*Meal finished and Cid un-bandaged, Mai is currently snacking on some fruit tarts*

Cid: *Can now be seen to have bronze-tan skin, long, pale blonde hair in a braided ponytail, elven, pointed ears, and a long, narrow nose; his frame is very stout and broad*

Mai: ...So. Have you got any news from your home planet on how the war's going?

Cid: Eh, not anything too exciting. As is usual, the Wro sent their finest armada, and went home with their tails between their legs and half of their ships parted out to our neighbours.

Mai: Nice. The Third, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Fleets of the Phoenix Empire are slowly wiping out enemy detachments.

Cid: Good. Anything you need me to help you handle, while I'm here?

Mai: Actually, yes. We detected a distress beacon coming from a moon of the Phoenix Empire's outermost planet; well, outermost in their core system.

Cid: What's so strange about that? Most of those moons sustain life, to a degree, and I'm sure it stands to reason that some of your resource collection teams could have gotten stranded.

Mai: That's the thing. The distress beacon was full of static, unorderly...God, how to put this...By virtue of sounding like it was coming from an utter piece of crap transmitter, it couldn't have been from any of our ships. Even our oldest models aren't that bugly.

Cid: So...You mean to say that a group that unadvanced technologically snuck into your system, undetected, and got themselves crashed within spitting distance of one of your empire's capitals?

Mai: No one's that lucky. I guess I should have gone ahead and mentioned that it had our signature broadcast station, but parts of its signal sounded like they were from Sangheili report modules, Vrishkan communication cyberlobes...A complete mess of different sources. So, I'm sure you can infer what Zuko did.

Cid: ...Something or someone is living on that moon, undetected for all these years by the Phoenix Empire, and went to all the trouble of juryrigging a makeshift distress beacon to...I dunno, make a pizza delivery?

*Chnk Chnk Chnk Chnk Chnk*

Cid: *Stares down at the five darts pierced into the quickly-raised plate; clearly intended for his eyes, nose, and mouth* ...Oookay. Someone either wants pizza...Or hates pizza. And since no civilized race I can think of hates pizza, I'm guessing you're hungry for a slice.

Mai: *Sighs, crouching in chair with knees against and glowering off to the side* You know, I've been practicing with my poison mixing.

Cid: ...Some of that food didduh-duh-duh-duh-rrrrrrrrrr *Eyes roll back in head*

*As he falls out of his chair and spasms on the floor, mouth frothing violently, Mai fiddles with a dagger*

Mai: Can someone please scrape the gibbering moron off the floor? I'm going to finish La Nebbia Chartreuse di Avidità while he wigs out.

*With a groan, she heads back to her chair and opens up the marked book from before*

Mai: At least Zuko knows when one joke is enough.

OOS: Indeed I am following post-WW2 policies.

(I think I'm doing it in the wrong order: WW2 has already ended and I haven't even done the Great Purge yet.....)

-----

David Robert Jones: That plan sounds acceptable, though I'm not sure if some of the more bloodthirsty INVC members will go along with it. I shall do my best to ensure they do.

-----

<the SMU world>

*the Rahkshi continue dragging SMMasaharu towards the Theta Gate*

*SM Muta stumbles back before his arm transforms, revealing a gun. He then continues firing at Shockwave while running backwards up a hill*

*Yon makes a run for it*

----------------------

*SM Masaharu looks up at the Rahkshi*

SMMas: Hmm, Rahkshi always have a weak spot.

*Unsheathing his claws, he jumps up and stabs the Rahkshi through their kraata covers through the net. They scream and fall to the floor*

SMMas: Sure, I've been captured thousands of times... but I have also escaped! Heh.

<Shockwave's location>

*Shockwave takes some hits*

*suddenly, an old man appears next to SMMuta, and slaps him hard with a shoe*

*he then does the same to Yon and Shockwave, and disappears*

-----

<the SMU world>

*the old man reappears next to SMMasaharu, and slaps him with his shoe*

Old Man: I am Zbigniew!

*Zbigniew disappears*
