Hades was really the black sheep of the group, despite being forced to save his partners during Risotto's test. Eris's trial was won thanks to Palutena and her secret "all-seeing eye". Cloud of Darkness's one still caused great difficulties to everyone, but they managed to push throught it.

Finally, the party arrived into Death's room. The Grim Reaper greeted them and asked once again Alucard to join his father's side. Of course, the son of Dracula refused and Death proceeded to transport them to moments before their deaths. Alucard was about to get killed by his own father, Palutena was tortured to death by Medusa in the godess of light's own palace, Hades was standing before Pit and the great sacred treasure and Nightmare was facing Kirby.

The Database Library, Basement

With her tributes of last season revived and returned to their families (and urgently at that for Galekh's lusus' case), and the letters to the next ones delivered, 6k1 watches the season unfold. Like with Sans and Carlos, she hopes that their younger brothers get along, given their similarities. However, fear and worry clouds her mind when she sees Photoshop Flowey on the field.

"Papyrus... whatever you do... please stay as far away from that floral abomination as you can..."

Papyrus and Sans's House

"i know you're gonna have a bad time there again, but i'm still rootin' for ya, bro."

Sans slouches on the living room couch as he watches the Games, thinking of how excited Papyrus was to be there for the third time. The day before, the latter barged into the former's bedroom, screaming with delight as he waved the letter around. Sans, however, was concerned about Papyrus's plans to try to make friends with the other tributes, since a certain flower once said that in that world, it's also "kill or be killed". On the other hand, if the Human can go out of their way to befriend everyone in the Underground, then why not him?

Sans's mind then focuses back on the Games. He sees his brother wrap himself around Tamaki and maul her.

"Papyrus... Have you gone against your standards?!"

Carlos's House

Carlos and his dad both cheer for Mikey as he fights in the Games. His classmates left the other day for their vacation, talking about how Jade Harley managed to nullify his dad's organ shifting abilities before shooting him with her rifle. Dad may have lost to her, but for Carlos, 2nd Place is already an achievement for him.

"Dad?"

"What is it, son?"

"Isn't it that you'll be going back there for the Battle Royale?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Well... you know this little clownfish boy, Nemo? He killed me in my season, and he won."

"Don't worry! I'll make sure he won't clown around that time!"

Carlos chuckles at Dad's pun before stopping himself. "He said that he was sorry for that, but I'm not ready to forgive him, given the way he killed me."

"You mean the field trip with the giant mantis?"

"Yep. However, he did say that he got carried away back then, so maybe I'll give him another chance."

Dad thinks about it for a moment. "Well... I'll see if I can make amends with him for you."

The Arena

Back outside, Valecor then sees an eruption of fire in the distance followed by some screams. He goes to the site and finds the slaughtered bodies of a bunch of Satanist cultists, obviously torn apart by a demon they summoned that since disappeared. Seeing that the gate to Hell they made is still open, he grins.

   Well I've been meaning to meet Satan himself for a while, so...   

Valecor then enters the portal to Hell.

After Death's trial, the party went on to confront Drawcia. Nightmare and Hades were surprised that the witch somehow managed to find their worst fears, but managed to succeed.

The party finally arrived at Medusa's room. The godess looked angrily at Palutena and Hades before starting the trial. As she was torturing Palutena, she muttered to her, smirking evily.    "You did surprisingly well, lady Palutena. Everyone here did well, except our dear Hades. I can feel that that idiot still isn't that eager to cooperate with you and only care about his own fun."    Obviously, Medusa's torture was more violent for Palutena and Hades.

Lastly, they went for Nyarly's test. The Outer God made the same deal to them.

Edited by Scipion3 on Jun 27th 2019 at 12:45:02 PM

The Tower

Everyone save for Hades didn't sign the contracts as they were unnerved by the Outer God and felt something off about him. Hades meanwhile still felt like messing with others and signed the contract in Medusa's name before tearing it to shreds, blowing it into the Outer god's face with a wink.

Hell

Hell fit its common fire and brimstone depiction, the cacophony of screaming souls in the background, demons torturing and eating the damned, some of the damned joining the ranks of the demons, all sorts of bizarre and deadly-looking torture equipment being used, and lava and fire everyone and a hot cavern. One can see more tiers of torture below, nine total, each getting worse as you go deeper.

But that was only on the damned side. The place were the demons actually live was nicer, being actual buildings made of carefully laid stone and there was certainly not as much fire or heat going on about there. It actually looked like a relatively decent place to live, well as close as you can get in Hell that is. The buildings themselves were in tiers, nine total, each getting progressively bigger and more luxurious looking as you go up. At the top was a single massive palace, obviously where Satan lives.

Valecor takes the surroundings in, grinning.

   Now this is my kind of place, geh heh heh heh!   

The demons paid Valecor no mind as he went towards the palace, thinking him as one of them.

The Outer God began to laugh wildly. A flash of light made Nightmare, Palutena and Alucard disappeared as suddenly, Hades was unable to move.

   "No matter in wich name you sign or if you tear the paper to shred. You've signed. I'll take that as a yes."   

The entire guard revealed themslves. Medusa got closer to Hades, smirking and caressed the helpless god's cheek.

   "Even if you didn't really wanted to accept Nyarlyathotep's deal, you've shown yourself to be unable to cooperate with anyone. I don't even know if you know the word loyalty. Then again, I did except this from a disrespecting living trash like you. You failed the very purpose of this tower."    Hades body glowed and all of his powers were absorbed by the godess, leaving only his soul behind. "This one was despicable." said Cetrion. "He will suffer for eternity with us."

Meanwhile, the three others were free. This time, their gifts was some weak monsters to serve them.

Papyrus and Sans's House

Sans is relieved to see that Papyrus is back to being his lovable goofy self. He still wonders what that kill was for, though. Could it have been an accident? Could it have been that golden flower's doing? Sure, Flowey got executed for killing Yveltal, but who knows? He might SAVE himself and manipulate Papyrus behind the scenes...

The Tower

   Can't say I was surprised this happened, as I've expected one of my group to fail me for some time. That's why I have a go-to backup plan for just that, even before this tower was set up, and I've already done it twice. I care for my villains so I wish to keep this at a minimum, but if I had to I would find an alternate version of them an replace them, with none of the flaws that led them to getting replaced in the first place. Same goes if someone else beat me to recruiting them. The other reason why i wish to keep that at a minimum is that I know messing with alternate worlds may have unforeseen consequences, so I wish to study that more before I do anything crazy. Villains I see as beyond saving are the sole exception to all of that, as I want nothing to do with them.   

Det. GC's Base and Valecor's Lair

When the heroes return to the detective's place, he greets them and opens a portal to the Dragon Ball multiverse, summoning Goku and Vegeta. He explains the situation to them and sends them off to Scipion's base.

Bill Cipher, who just arrived there to spy on the detective, sees that and goes back to Valecor's lair to report it to the villains. Cell and Frieza, having a grunge against the two, go off to Scipion's base with Cell leading the way as he knows the place.

Before the villains arrival, Goku asked Lemmy about Giegue as he thought he was a relative to Frieza. "Oh not at all Mr. Goku! Giegue is the most shy of our team, so he is the one who teleport you in each room." Goku then restrained Vegeta from jumping at Cell and Frieza. Even amongst the villains, there was some rivalry.

After passing the three first tests rather easily thanks to their respective skills, GLaDOS forced them to talk with one of her turrets. Only Goku actually managed to get along with it as the others restrained themselves to find and destroy it. They had the best results for Volvagia and Ryuga's test as all of them knew each other. Frieza sursprisingly liked working with Goku. Ridley almost ate for Goku when he compared him to some of the late King's Piccolo sons.

Cetrion paired Cell with Goku and Frieza with Vegeta. While the former managed to get along, it was far more difficult for the later, especially because of Vegeta's pride. Their hard trainings payed off against Risotto. Frieza used his incredible intelligence to defeat Eris, but was quite offended when she called him a "Giegue and Mewtwo clone". After fighting their dark counterparts wich was an amazing fight, Death sent Goku moment before planet Vegta's destruction, Vegeta before Frieza finished him off at Namek while Cell and Frieza were sent moment before their deaths. The group managed to share a great bond, allowing them to aknowledge their mistakes from the past and save themself. This said bond allowed them to finish Drawcia and Medusa's test. The godess aknlowdged that their common love for figting was enough so that they could work together before the Dragon Ball's group face Nyarlyathotep and his deal.

Edited by Scipion3 on Jun 27th 2019 at 9:33:10 PM

The Tower

None of the four signed the contracts. Goku and Vegeta blasted the contracts away. Cell and Frieza refused, the former due to not wanting things handed to him on a platter as he finds it more rewarding to do things himself while the latter done enough contracts with his organization to know it's a trap.

Hell

It took a while to reach Satan as the demon city was huge and so was his palace, but Valecor finally entered Satan's throne room. The devil was naturally sitting on his throne, and he looked about six times the size of the average human. He looked like the typical depiction of the devil, and one can see he's been working out if his muscular body is of any indication. He was mostly black with his hands and feet a bright red, with sharp black claws on them. His huge bat-like wings were folded across his front, giving the illusion he was wearing some sort of an armored shroud. His head was black with two twisted black horns with red tips on the sides of his head. His bright yellow eyes we burning with evil amusement, and he has a thick black goatee.

He grinned as he saw Valecor enter, and as he spoke one can see he had an impressive set of fangs.

Satan:   I heard much about you from the surface world, Valecor. When your job is to punish the wicked keeping up to date on things is mandatory. I know you're not dead so I'm guessing you're here as you require my services?   

Valecor laughed.

Valecor:   You know me well I must admit. So let me guess what you want in return: to get revenge against Heaven and take both it and the world over, is that right?   

Now it was Satan's turn to laugh.

Satan:   You are correct, that is indeed what I want. I will send my demons to assist you whenever you need them in exchange for what you just said happening one day. Do we have a deal?   

He gets up and extends his hand to Valecor, unfolding his wings as he does so to reveal he is indeed wearing clothes that's fitting for the Lord of Darkness: a black leather jacket with silver shoulder spikes over a dark gray t-shirt with a big pentagram in blood red on it, and black shorts with a blood red belt and a gold belt buckle shaped like a human skull.

Valecor shakes the devil's hand, and the two grin. Satan then opens a portal to the surface and waves Valecor goodbye as he exits Hell.

Returning the MLP villains to the base

With Daybreaker's demise and the villains broken by what they went through, Grogar decided it was time to send his legion back to the base.

Grogar: I sent you to do something simple and you got involved in a compltely different mess altogether, I should have just left you in the base, now go away and don't bother me again.

Grogar then returned himself to the base, not content with the recent events. He wanted to get a room for himself, and began writing his room's requirements.

Grogar: My room is to be designed after a castle, with a special stone stand for my Eye of Arimaspi to be placed in, and a few dark corners would be nice.

With that said, Grogar went back to Neo Bowser City, deciding he had nothing else to do.

The Strange Events Continue

Star and the others were now looking at the disruption of reality the two Snaps had caused, they noticed several unknown planets appearing in cosmic maps.

Loki: Well, this is interesting, those 5 planets weren't there before, right?

Thor: You're right, Loki, Thanos' actions are being far more devastating than I thought, we have to find him and use the stones to bring everything back to normal.

Meta Knight: I don't want to sound negative, but how do you plan to find out where he is?

Thor: Dammit! I hadn't thought of that. We'll need a way to track down the energy the stones gave off.

Star: I would ask the Commision to track it down, but I don't trust them anymore.

Tom: Even then, it's cosmic energy that they gave off, not magic energy. It's like trying to use a metal detector to find a mouse hidden in tall grass.

Marco: Maybe, we should ask Iron Man if he can build a tracking device for it?

Thor: That's a good idea, but we will need to have something to use as a base for the tracking device.

Just as they were speaking, they saw a spaceship arriving to Mewni's outskirts, they were notified of it's landing by Buff Frog, one of Star's confidants and friends.

Buff Frog: There is a big, colorgul spaceship out there, you should check if it's dangerous.

Star: Thor, Marco, Loki, Tom, Janna all of you, come with me, let's investigate who these guys are.

They all arrived to the ship when they saw an anthropomorphic raccoon, a tree-like humanoid being, and a bunch of other humanoid aliens emerging from it.

Thor: I'm gonna ask you all a question, who are you?

Star-Lord: We... Are the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Tom: Uh... Does anyone here know who they are?

Marco: Not me.

Janna: I have only left Earth once, so no idea here.

Star: Nah.

Thor: Are you guys a group of space janitors or something?

Star-Lord: C'mon man, you haven't heard of Star-Lord, the legendary outlaw?

Loki: I'll answer that for him. No, he hasn't.

Gamora: Wait. We came here to adress a distress call we received from Mewni.

Star: Well, the crisis has passed already, but I'll explain it to you.

With that said, Star prepared to explain to the Guardians what had happened, even if one of them already knew.

C&C: Next season is the Troper Games, so I got to train to win it and to destroy Valecor. But why do I feel the latter won't be that easy?

Valecor's Lair

The portal from Hell took Valecor right to his base. Still having the empty nightmare fuel bottle on him, he notes that the MLP villains are back. He turns to Lord Crump, gesturing at them.

   Say, you don't happen to have a copy of that video of what happened at Neo Bowser City on you?   

Crump nods and puts a CD into a widescreen TV as Valecor motions the MLP villains to watch. The video starts playing, revealing the entirety of the events, every spoken word and action.

The MLP villains start muttering that's not how they remembered it only for Crump to interrupt.

Enough. We believe that you were manipulated by the stand users, not the other way around. If you look closely at the water you can see the stand target Sombra, so he was not himself. The fact you don't remember this means that the ones responsible for this must've altered your memories.

Valecor steps forward.

   And the bit about them saying I'd view you as traitors due to how they set things up... if they think that then they have another think coming. I don't jump to conclusions like that unless I have all the details! That and what was said did brought up something I knew about for a long while...   

He motions the other villains together.

   Now tell me, if you were to take control of the legion, what are your reasons for doing so and what would you do with the legion if you succeeded? And if you think I'm joking about this I'm not, as I know some of you had these plans for a while. I also won't punish you for this, I'm just genuinely interested in your plans.   

As Cell and Frieza left the tower, satisfied with their results, Notorious B.I.G went back to the Distortion World. Thanks to the Stand, Giratina knew with precision every locations of this planet, including Valecor's lair and nominator's houses.

His meditation was interrupted when a tall green fairy appeared next to him. A crow was resting on her shoulder.    "Did you felt it as well, Maleficent?"       "Indeed. We both know that Satan is easily one of the most foolish ancients villain. He didn't even recognised what Valecor really is."       "Must I remind you, fairy, that you didn't knew as well until I told you about his existence? From all of the villains, I may be the only one to know about him. Besides, I am not totally sure about Valecor's true identity."   

The entire dimension began to shake violently as Giratina's eyes flashed violently, expressing his rage.    "But if I was right. If Valecor is the one I have been waiting for... Then he will pay. I will take everything from him and he will beg for my mercy. I will finally have my revenge."   

The duo was interrupted when the Wind mage Vaati appeared, holding Zamasu, inconscious. "Are you sure that this idiot is worthy to be in our army? He attacked me and told me that I was a pathetic "ningen". Like if he could defeat the powerful wind mage!"

Giratina wasted no time and cut Zamasu alive in pieces with his tendrils.    "I wanted to see what he was capable of. No wonder why even Valecor destroyed him instead of recruiting here. You two have to go now. We will begin our operations once he will be back."

Power Stroke's House

Power Stroke has been eagerly watching the season since it began, cheering for 6k1's tributes while counting down the days until the Nominator Games. She has already packed her saddlebags with her art supplies, and her clothes for the season have been washed and laid out for her by her aunt. As she continues watching the current season, she daydreams about meeting up with Starfall and Crimson Gale, talking about their favorite things or simply hanging out together. She briefly worries about Scipion and Valecor, but then remembers 6k1's advice to her: to trust Dave in protecting her from them.

Her thoughts get interrupted when a loud fart blares across the room. The projection on the cauldron's flames gets clouded with gas released by the Overloading Magma Worm. After it clears up, a pile of dust can be seen on the ground, along with a patch of electricity left by the worm.

"Oh no... I bet Sans is saying 'you dirty brother killer' right now..."

The Database Library, Basement

6k1 hangs her head low. Her hopes of seeing her tributes bond just got dashed, but at least she's proud of Mikey getting out of his wheelchair and wisely finishing his shopping at the Villain Mall before the staff could kill him.

Once this is over, she thinks to herself as she puts her head up, I'm going to contact a certain pony with this crystal ball. She holds it up to her head and nods, affirming to herself what she will say to her.

Bon Bon and Lyra wake up in what looks like a bedroom of sorts. Besides the usual furniture there's a portal and a note. Lyra picks up the note and show it to Bon Bon.

"Hello Lyra and Bon Bon. You probably don't know me,but my name is Mett and I sent you into the games. It used to be for fun,but now I'm working on creating a crew to help combat a great evil that has awakened. You two did relatively well,so I'm inviting you to join the crew! Me and the others are out on a mission currently,so I left a portal open leading back to your world. You're free to take it if you would rather stay out of this. If you would like to stay though,I'll be happy to have you! Signed,Mett."

"I'm not sure about this Bon Bon. It sounds dangerous."

"It definitely is,but think about what we'd be doing. From the sound of it,we'd be helping a lot of people."

"Yeah,but this sounds like something you're cut out for..."

Bon Bon puts a hoof against her cheek. "Lyra,wherever we go,we go together. I'm not staying unless you're staying."

Lyra smiles and nods. "Then lets do this."

Bon Bon smiles back before getting a thoughtful look. "I wonder what mission they're on anyway..."

Meanwhile,in a zone of green hills

Mett and the gang are scouting around Green Hill Zone when his phone buzzes, causing him to jump. "S**t,I forgot about the Troper Games! You guys have to go on without me. Remember,the redder the sky gets the closer he is! And whatever you do,don't play Hide-And-Seek with him!" He presses a button on his phone,teleporting him back to his base to prepare.

The Capitol

Present Snow sent each of the nominators a letter in the mail, even one to Scipion's Guard. The letter reads:

Dear nominators of the Hunger Games, I hereby invite you to the Capitol for a party after the current season ends. This way you'll spend some time together before you'll end up turning on each other in the games. Afterwards I'll take you to the arena personally for the nominator games to begin.

Failure to show up either as yourself or as a representative shall result in death.

Sincerely, President Snow.

The Villains' Response

The villains were partially horrified and reliefed by Valecor's words. Soon they all gave their reasons.

Sombra:    Let me tell you something, Valecor, I do not like being bossed around by an old goat, I am a King, not a servant!   

Chrysalis: It's clear that Grogar only cares about himself, but two can play that game.

Tirek: Grogar's reign would be an obstacle to my objectives. I desire to rule Equestria all on my own, not being someone else's flunky.

Cozy Glow: He's just so mean. He makes me cry.

Obviously Cozy Glow was lying, but she wanted to gain as much sympathy as she could possibly get.

The Guardians and the Group

With the group being provided explanations by Gamora, and with Rocket's assistance they began to track down the cosmic energy surge given out by the Stones' use with the help of a machien built by Rocket, Tony and Bruce. Meanwhile they began trying to figure out how everything happened.

Gamora: Thanos must've gotten the Power Stone from ut how did Thanos use the Gauntlet? Wasn't the Space Stone destroyed with Asgard?

Thor: Loki... Did you by any chance gave Thanos the Stone?

Loki: I am offended that you're all assuming I had a hand on this.

Star: There's several good reasons for everyone on this room to think that.

Rocket Raccoon: Not me, I have never seen this dude in my life.

Thor: We also have to discover how did he found out about the Soul Stone, and the Time Stone... And all the other ones.

Sar: Maybe someone borrowed them to him?

Dr. Strange: No way, the Time Stone is in my possesion as the Eye of Agamoto, if Thanos had ever obtained it I would've noticed. As for the Soul Stone, no one has ever located it.

Gamora: I have... It's on the Planet of Vormir, I've kept it's location hidden from my father so far. And he wouldn't have gotten it without sacrificing someone he loves. And he doesn't loves anybody, not even anyone of my "siblings". So he couldn't have gotten it by himself.

Star-Lord: So... Did they magically appeared in his Gauntlet?

Bruce: I have no idea, maybe they did?

Rocket: Anyways, if my machine works we should see soon where Thanos is currently. Hey Iron Dude, did you prepared the power source?

Iron Man: Done, let's get this started. In 1... 2... 3. Now!

''But as soon as the radar opened they saw the image glitching out as the location was reading as "Unavailable".

Tom: We're gonna need more power and potential for this machine.

Marco: Or magic. Maybe the dimensional fissures are messing up the radar.

Star: But are we even sure the Commision will help us out? They were the ones who creatd the Solarian Warrios!

Dr. Strange: I can make them help us or else.

Janna: Well, go ahead and make them help us, we can't just stay here doing nothing.

Thanos' Plans

Thanos received news from his underlings about how the Infinity Stones weren't working in other universes, after Thanos sent them to toher universes for testing purposes.

MCU!Thanos: What did you say? Maw.

Ebony Maw: It seems like when we tried to use them in other universes they didn't even reacted.

Comics!Thanos: I know why, the Infinity Stones only work within their Universe and it's timelines, but not into other universes.

MCU!Thanos: I suppose this means I'll have to collect the Stones from other worlds one by one.

Edited by VengefulBale on Jun 28th 2019 at 6:59:04 AM

Mett sighs when he receives Snow's letter. "Damnit Snow,the one time I need to be alone. Although,a representative..."

He sends a text to Zoe,asking her to be his representative to the party. She accepts,mostly cause she wants more characters for her Hunger Games fanfics.

Valecor's Lair

   You can relax. I may see myself as the leader of the group, but I do not see myself as holding power over all villains. I may like the idea of me being a dictator to non-villains, but I am not one to villains themselves. I see us as equals in a partnership, regardless of power differences. Heck, might as well admit this group as a whole are the closest thing I have to family. You're free to do whatever evil plan you want as long as it doesn't interfere with our group. So what if one villain seeks to rule a land you want to rule? Just find a duplicate world and rule it yourself, makes no difference in the end. Of course, if we find hard evidence that one of us is intentionally seeking to cause trouble within our legion like Zamasu and it can't be resolved, we'll get rid of said person, plain and simple.   

Valecor then turns to MCU!Thanos.

   Couldn't help but overhear your conversation Thanos. Not all universes may have Infinity Stones or some equivalent to them. So that means that you're either going to have to find a way to make them in said universe, or int he case it's impossible to do that since all universes are different, do it the hard way by slaughtering them into balance yourself. And then there's the possibility you may come across a universe that's already been balanced thanks to someone with a similar goal to you.

Zanreo's Secret Base

After the party it had been back to usual business for Zanreo, sending in tributes and watching their progress. She had even managed to get another mass murderer for the next Death Battle... currently, she was tracking the progress of the katamari. Though she preferred nominating actual characters, objects were fun once in a while too... and it had survived longer than Barracuda, an actual character. Now it would be just a few posts before next season started....

...Next season. It would be the special Troper Games, where the nominators would nominate themselves. "Only seems fair after what we put our tributes though" she thought to herself. She had submitted herself once before in this timeline, but this time she'd join all the others.

The alarm for letters went off once again, and Zanreo went to get it. "What's this... from Snow? Dear nominators of the Hunger Games, I hereby invite you... ah, another party? Can't say I trust that guy, but...
"Failure to show up either as yourself or as a representative shall result in... death? Jeez, way to put some pressure on us!" But meeting the others again did sound fun! Better start preparing...

The guard was confused by the letter. They didn't had any contact with Scipion since he sealed himself away. Then again, it is possible that he show up during the party. After a vote, Pharynx was choosen. Despite the Changeling disliking parties, he accepted to go while having a device inside his brain, allowing him to communicate with the rest of the guard if something bad happens.

The Database Library, Basement

6k1 reads the invite twice. Surely she can't believe that the President of all people's inviting the nominators to the pre-season party. But given the death threat, it seems that she has no choice.

She rubs the crystal ball until Power's face appears inside.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you again, but this is an emergency."

"What is it?"

"There's going to be another party before the Nominator Games—"

"How's that an emergency? I'll be there if it means hanging out with my pony friends! Besides, that might be the only time we'll be able to bond before the killing begins!"

"I know you're excited, but let me tell you this: President Snow's inviting all of us to the Capitol."

Power looks at 6k1 with a blank expression before laughing. "President Snow?! That guy's gonna get his butt kicked by the guests! I just know it!"

"I know you're tempted to add +1 to that Snow Death Counter of yours, but this is the real deal."

"Wait what?"

"That Snow that you see getting killed regularly by the tributes? I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but that's just one of many Snowclones."

"Aww..."

"Anyway, attendance is a must since he'll find me and kill me if I don't show up or send someone there on my behalf."

"Alright. So... who will be accompanying me to the party?"

"Ralsei. You need a healer by your side, and he's an adorable wizard to boot!"

"Sure thing! And what about Twilight, Toriel, and Carlos, like last time?"

"Since this is Snow we're talking about, I don't want to raise suspicions by sending in the same tributes as before. Besides, they're probably busy with their own things, especially Twilight. I heard that she and her friends are planning a road trip. You know how she reacts when her plans get interrupted..."

"Heh. What about your recent podium finishers? I'd like some more company as well!"

"They need to rest before the next Battle Royale."

"Can't Ralsei just heal them?"

"Even he has to conserve his magic in case things go wrong."

"Hm, okay then. Will Dave be there, too?"

"Of course, he will! I'll call him to see who he'll bring to the party as well!"

6k1 ends the conversation by rubbing the crystal ball again. She then calls Dave with the hologram transmitter and discusses with him about the party plans.

Nominator's Hotel, The Capitol, Panem

Billy was now sitting in his hotel room, helping to manage the game as well as watching it as he volunteered this season at helping Hunger Games, doing it with the help of his latest portable quantum supercomputer, bought from another universe with his wealth. He also monitored and manageed his corporation too back in his home nation. He was pretty busy when one of the people in Panem's Capitol, appointed by President Snow himself, sent Billy a letter, ringing the bell of his room to let him know. Billy soon took the letter from the messanger.

Reading it, he saw the content of it, saying he or his representative must go to the Party or else President Snow would have him killed personally. It also said the next game would force him, alongside other nominators, to battle it out to the death in the Game itself despite the nominator's position. Knowing the President's power, Billy was aware that the President would be just able to send his soldiers or had someone assassinate him, even if he tried his hardest at escaping or hiding to other universes. Besides, the Party and subsequent Game would also be a chance at wider opportunity, like meeting every other nominators, as well as finding allies and furthering his goals by working together. Billy soon had the letter stored in his suitcase, for him to take back to his mansion.

Billy then decided to prepare a new plan. He would join the next Game alongside his very first tribute, Giorno Giovanna. He would also postpone his exploration of the OG world, waiting for other nominators to know his plans. And about other nominators, he would also try to talk to them to know about them and make friends out of it. He would invite every tributes to the Party with him, including those participating in the Games right now, considering the small amount he had right now, except for Cioccorrita, as he was just a monster. And finally, he prepared a contingency plan in his absence. He would entrust his loyal servants, and people who worked for him, both in the mansion and corporation higher up, to help manage his corporation, as well as for the mansion workers to revive him themselves. He would also try to have a clone of him made quickly to fill the void of his Reaping.

One day later

Billy has seen how his tributes perform today. He is disappointed to see both of his tributes killed, but at the very least, one of them was pretty memorable, and the other survived further than Giorno or Nidorohan, which were both his final tribute previous seasons. Since Billy still has to stay in Panem, he decides to use his supercomputer to contact the people on his mansion instead, telling them to continue work on the OG World exploration plan, as well as the people on Medical section to work on both reviving Jolyne and Gloria, as well as making a clone of him. Billy then contacts the people of the Game itself, telling them to deliver the bodies of Gloria and Jolyne in cryogenic vats to his mansion as soon as possible.

Billy then talks with Giorno, Marinette, and Nidorohan all at once with his supercomputer. Rather than verbal talks, however, Billy decides to chat with them instead. They have computers to do it. He then talks to them about the Party, and how they should attend and prepare for it, as well as his efforts persuading them to join. Eventually, after like half an hour of chatting, he successfully convinces them all. Immediately after that, Billy spent a good deal of the hour relaying the news of the Nominator's Game to Giorno, saying how he needs him to accompany him and how he can just revive him with what he all has if they both died. Giorno was first doubtful and even threatened Billy if he lied. But in the end, Giorno is successfully convinced to help with Giorno being allowed to harm Billy should Billy ever lied to him. But Billy has prepared this possibility in his mind with his all the guards he has.

Billy is now awaiting for another day for his plans, as well as the upcoming party. Gloria and Jolyne should be fully revived in few hours once they arrive, and by tomorrow, they will be assigned their houses in the Tribute's Village, as well as being calmed down, and told about their terms with Billy. They will also be told about the Party they should attend.

Billy's Mansion, Medical Room

Yet another set of tributes arrive to this room for their revival. Gloria and Jolyne's bodies have arrived, just two hours after Jolyne's death. Like the usual process, their bodies were restored into full state right down to the original cellular and genetical level. With Jolyne, her burnt part are entirely fixed with advanced technology and bit of magic, while for Gloria, her eyes have to be made anew too considering how her old ones were damaged by the Sun. They then get blood pumped into them and their circulation restarted, while certain drugs are pumped in for both supporting the resurrection and to calm them, before their souls are brought back with magical ritual. After few hours of work from start of the whole revival process, it's successful. The usual then goes

As for Billy's clone, it's taking longer to build. Billy has to contend with the fact that it will be finished right as the Party is starting, back in his Mansion.

Dave's Home Base

Dave has just finished nursing the revived Grand Inquisitor and Zep Hindle back to health, when a messenger from the Capitol arrives with a letter in hand. Thanking the messenger, he went off to the Main Hall.

After reading the letter, Dave sighs. What does Coriolanus Snow want from another party?

Recent events have certainly overwhelmed him more than he expected. It's unusual for him to feel this stressed, but here they are.

He summons a glass of milk to calm himself, then summons several portals. From it, enter several people: mirror counterparts of Master Xehanort and his Thirteen Seekers, a heroic Shang Tsung, mirror alternates of Quan Chi and Shinnok, the Ganondorf he had sent the previous season, and two Replicas of himself.

He explains to them what is going on. Afterwards, he has the Xehanorts starting to prepare themselves to depart to the OG world as soon as they can, co-lead by Master Xehanort and one of the Dave Replicas. Then he calls Detective Gamechanger.

"Hey, Detective. I'm sending several friends of mine, along with one of my Replicas, to the Ghostbusters' place now. Tell them not to be surprised over who they are, considering the reputation of their main universe counterparts. Now, Detective, do you happen to have anything akin to a Bag of Holding? That'll be very useful for my future plans."

Later, after the call

Dave sighs. With the talk with Detective Gamechanger done for now, there's only one last thing to do: call Starfall.

He summons a hologram transmitter, and starts calling.

"Hey, Mister Dave. Is it time already?"

"Uh, yeah, about that—"

Whatever he was about to say next is interrupted by a ring from another holographic transmitter.

"Hold up, someone else is calling me. I'll be right back."

He puts his call with Starfall on hold, and answers the other call. To his mild surprise, it's TRP-6001.

"Ah, my dear friend, 6k1. What do you require of me right now? Wait, let me guess: you've received the letter to President Snow's party, right? Are you proposing we do it like with Detective Gamechanger? If so, let's. But first, who is (or are) going to represent you, and where are we going to meet to discuss?"
