Detective Gamechanger's Base

Billy notices what happened to 6k1. Immediately, he fires a healing beam from five units of his Stand at 6k1, the beam enveloping her after converging at one point. Then, members of Billy's tributes who have healing powers handy tries to help too. Bucciarati even nearly tries to consider using his Stand to zip 6k1's ribs back, and see if Giorno can help too, but Billy is already doing it in a more practical way.

"Thank god..."

Ichigo walks over to 6k1's side.

"What the hell were you thinking, 6k1? Were you trying to make a new Jimin or get yourself killed? Someone as smart as you had to have known that he wouldn't have taken that news well!"

Galis then walks over to 6k1 to check on her.

"If I was a White Mage, I could have her back to top condition in a few seconds. I'm not, though."

Alucard also gets up and checks on 6k1.

"A simple potion won't fix her wounds, I'm afraid."

Det. GC's Base

As the commotion continues, Dave says "Enough."

He then hands 6k1 an Elixir. "A potion wouldn't do, yes. But an Elixir or a Megalixir should help.

"But Ichi has a point, I'm afraid. Just why did you think that was a good idea, sister? I know it's because of the Arena (at least, that's how I see it), but still..."

"Yeah... better be careful with letting tributes know stuff like that" Zanreo says.

King Dedede and Bandana Dee hastily approaches 6k1. He then asks her "Why would you even say stuff like that!?"

"Not exactly something you should bring up in the face of an apex predator."

6k1 feels her body emanate a strange glow as she slowly wakes up.

"W-What happened...?"

She props herself up and sees that her chest has been bandaged. Dave then heals her with an Elixir and he and the others call her out for what she did a while ago.

"As Database Manager, not only do I document tributes, but I also record their kills so that they're fairly qualified for the Death Battle."

She asks Power to get her notes from her bag and show it to the guests.

"As you can see, Gigantamax Butterfree was the most murderous in Season 68, with five kills, but the official stats from the Capitol say that it only made three, tying it with Nagisa, Envy, Herobrine, and Leechgrave."

"Oh right..." says Power, "the kills it made during that Smash Arena Event didn't register properly..."

"That's why I settle these disputes with the Science Center. If I don't, then the upcoming Death Battle will come earlier than expected, but with unfairly qualified tributes!"

"When is it, by the way?"

"Four seasons from now, assuming one mass murderer per season."

"But why did you bring that up to Simba?"

"Because he should've been in the Death Battle of OT S125!"

"What?"

6k1 explains that the Control Room's tally has been faulty since the very beginning, and the staff doesn't bother to fix it while the Capitol just rolls along with it. When the DM began her work in the library, she discovered a lot of mistakes in the Reapings of the previous Death Battles, and that they would've been different had they been caught sooner.

"Case in point: Captain Phasma was originally tied for most murderous with Shinryu in OT S54, with six each, but she had to be retroactively disqualified because her long, drawn out battle with Oleg Lyashko immediately followed by her murder by Byakuya Togami registered as two kills for her!"

Despite already knowing this, Power is still left speechless. She wonders if there's an alternate Panem where all the Death Battles had the correct tributes...

Simba then wakes up and makes a big yawn. He rubs a paw on his head, wondering what just happened, too.

"Should I apologize to him?" asks 6k1.

"I think you should," says Miranda.

Bale talks

Bale approached 6K1, concerned and a little furious.

Bale: Sixie, what were you thinking?! You could've been hurt real bad, yes you should apologize to Simba!

GC's Base

"That doesn't make saying all of that straight to his forking face any less of a terrible idea. Like I told ya, you had to have known that he'd either try to kill you or potentially become the next Jimin. This kinda stuff ain't worth dying for."

Det. GC's Base

"I'll agree with everyone here: You really shouldn't have brought back that Simba lion's memories. Hell, I might've transformed into a super powerful alien via this wrist thingy and I might've accidentally killed him while I was attempting to get him off of you."

GC's Base.

Psyche continues to remain silent, witnessing the scene with concern. She bites her lip, remembering how Jimin had plotted to kill her since he'd remembered V's fate and his own tenure in Season 60. Now that Simba remembers the events of that OT season, he'd just tried to kill 6k1.

She stares down at the ground. On one hand, keeping her tributes' memories makes for more entertaining future seasons, and she does like to talk to some of her funnier tributes, such as Maki the ineffective ninja. On the other hand, it risks herself and her friends getting seriously hurt. Would it... maybe be worth it to begin erasing her tributes' memories? She swallows at the thought of Fashion Officer Felix... no longer being a fashion officer. It wouldn't be the same... but still...

Billy's Mansion

In the meantime, the tributes are revived. Vantablack and Spectralon were in their original paint forms after their deaths, so the workers just use magic and tech on them. They then wake up in their human forms, before the usual business after revival.

Detective Gamechanger's Base

Billy listens to the error situation. Intrigued by this, Billy asks President Paylor if she can get him in contact with the head gamemaker. She soon obliges, and Billy then uses a device to produce a wide holographic screen everyone can see once he gets the contact.

Julius soon takes the call and says, "Hello. Anyway since I see the nominators, I should say that I'm the head gamemaker, Julius Prophetus. I replaced Haymitch after President Snow returned to power, and worked since the very first season." He soon hears of what 6k1 said from Billy, as it was actually recorded within a secret device in the base and Billy has access to it. Julius soon answers,

"So first, as it is since the original timeline, I must admit that I am a survivor of that too. As I said before, I worked since the original Season 1. I was in the gamemaker's control room after the original Season 250 when the disaster happened. I fell into a rift that formed under my feet, but then I landed in a similar place after several minutes. I eventually discovered it was this timeline."

"Anyway for the problem. Yes, the Capitol under President Snow never fixed the problem, even if we kept asking for him. Their excuse was that they didn't have the resources to do it and it's not a big problem. We even got threats of execution for disfavoring him before thanks to that."

"I hope President Paylor will now try to spend an effort to repair it. But I also have a feeling that it will be done when the Simulator is up. Talking about that, since the old era will end in more than ten seasons or more, I will admit how the Game is run."

Julius soon reveals all the secrets of how a season is run, including how it isn't him who is purely responsible for running a scenario, but a gamemaker who has volunteered to run and then approved by him. He then shows the work in progress on a season. After the tributes are all inputted (though Billy's tributes aren't physically on their podiums yet), the gamemakers are now inputting the suggested events. On the subject of broken events, Julius also says, "Sometimes, our gamemakers can make an error with their grammar, spelling, or inputting in the text based signal. But rest assured, we usually fix them when they are discovered before next season."

After the revelation, Billy takes a bit more time for this to set in for everyone before moving on to the next part of the funeral, bringing the casket to the Detective's homeworld. Also like the rest, Billy reprimands 6k1, saying "They all have a point. While your job is to find errors, it is not the best to reveal something like that directly to him, knowing how he reacts."

The BTS Boys' Apartment

Jin is in his room playing an intense round of MapleStory when something falls into his lap. He loses focus long enough for his character to fall off the platform and die.

"No!" he cries, angrily wringing his hands. He seizes the thing that had fallen into his lap - a piece of paper. "What is- huh? A letter?" He takes a minute to read it. He frowns once he's finished. "An invitation from Psyche… to a party… for a dead nominator?"

He figures that it's best not to attend. They all still hold some resentment towards Psyche, especially Jimin, and have decided that they don't want anything to do with her until the Death Battle. Regardless, Jin decides that this is a matter to be discussed. He wonders if Detective Gamechanger was one of the "bad" nominators, like Psyche - a nominator who sought to torture their favourite characters and idols for their own amusement.

He assembles his bandmates, and they all meet in the living room, where Jin reads the letter out loud. As expected, the idea of seeing Psyche again leaves them all quite skeptical.

"Can't we all just relax and focus on our work for awhile?" says Yoongi. "We've been through a lot already. We need a goddamn break."

"I know, right?" Jungkook agrees. "The past few months have been hell."

"Hang on," says Jimin. "Seokjin, did you say that some of the nominators' tributes are gonna be there?"

Jin's eyes widen with surprise. "Yes. Why?"

"6k1 told me that she was going to arrange for us to meet Mikey and his family sometime."

"Did she now?" Jin asks.

V nods. "She really did. I can confirm."

"I guess it'd be nice to see them before the Death Battle," says RM. "That's only a couple seasons away, right?"

"Don't remind me," J-Hope groans.

"So maybe we could go to the party to hang out with Mikey and maybe meet some of the other tributes," says Jimin. "If it's only nominators, it shouldn't be so bad…" He pauses for a moment. "I am invited too, right?"

"Yes, of course," says Jin. "All of our names are written down."

Jimin frowns. "Will I… be welcome?"

"I'll intervene if anyone tries to start shit with you," Suga immediately declares.

"So will I," says V.

All of the other members nod their agreement.

"Thanks, guys," says Jimin. He smiles a little. "Maybe we could all go, then. As long as we don't let Psyche bother us, it could be fun."

"Maybe we can do a performance there!" Jungkook pipes up.

RM beams at the suggestion. "Which songs should we perform, though?"

As the boys discuss their plans, Jin smiles to himself. It seems that they've all reached an agreement. He writes a response letter to Psyche and sends it as instructed. Shortly afterwards, the boys head off to practise their planned performance.

Stray Kids' Living Quarters

The now eight Stray Kids members are practising for their own upcoming performances when Bang Chan and Changbin suddenly vanish, leaving some faint golden sparkles in their wake. The boys exchange glances. Having seen this exact thing happen to Felix, they all know what this means by now.

"Guess that means it's my turn soon," says Hyunjin.

"I hope they have a good time," says I.N.

"Yeah, I'd rather be in a televised killing game than here with Dictator Felix," Lee Know grumbles.

Felix shoots him a death glare. "I will be the leader while Chan is away," he declares. "Now come on, keep dancing!"

"But it's way too hot in these baggy clothes!" Han protests.

Now it's his turn to receive a death glare from Felix. "Do you wanna die?"

The practise session continues without incident.

Psyche's Fanfic School - Tribute Transportation Room

Chan and Changbin instantly recognise the room from Felix's description of it. They look around in awe and notice Psyche sitting at the computer. She turns to face them and beams. "Hey there… um…" She turns back towards the computer screen for a moment. "Bang Chan and Changbin?"

They smile and nod. "That's us," says Chan.

"Pleasure to meet you!" says Psyche. "I'm not the real Psyche, but rather the one from the book The Nominators' Battle to the Death. All the staff and students are away for the day, so I've taken it upon myself to transport you two to the Arena!" She surveys them curiously. "Which idol group are you from? I only really know BTS."

"We're from Stray Kids!" Changbin replies. "Have you heard of us?"

"Hmm." Alt!Psyche twirls her hair around her finger. "Yes, yes, that name has come up a few times… you guys have a "dark" concept, right?"

They nod. "You should give our music a try," says Chan.

"I sure will!" She claps her hands together. "Now then, are you guys ready to go? The season will begin soon!"

Det. GC's Base

"Well then. I'll leave early so I can process what has happened better. I will come to the party, though."

Eredars then heads back to his underground residence. Galis also leaves and finds a empty building to stay in for the time being. Panem may need her help in the future... or not.

Unmarked Lion Guard spoilers follow.

GC's Base

"So... all this time, our tributes are influenced by the Gamemakers instead of acting willingly?"

What Julius revealed was a lot to take in, and the new era is still going to be hard for 6k1 to swallow. She thinks of voicing her concerns to Paylor right now, but for formality's sake, she'll just write the letter when she goes home.

For now though, she still has to say sorry to Simba. The DM gets up and approaches him with caution.

"Simba... sorry for bringing back those bad memories..."

The lion stares at her, ready to pounce on her again.

"I just couldn't help but talk about my work sometimes, especially after realizing that I didn't need to hide my OT memories..."

She recaps her explanation a while ago, and he goes back to his usual standing position.

"All is forgiven, 6k1," he says while looking at her the same way he looks at Kiara, "but next time, please don't remind me of what I did in the OT. Remember what Timon and Pumbaa advised me — to put your past behind?"

"Yes... but didn't Rafiki also say that instead of running from it, you can learn from it?"

"That too, but it still depends on the situation. I still wish you didn't bring that season up, other than the part where I saved Nala from certain death..."

6k1 lets that sink in for a moment and kneels down before changing the topic.

"You mentioned confronting Scar and Zira in the trials, right?"

"Yes."

"Didn't they die a long time ago?"

"Yes, but Valecor revived the former while the latter was part of Scipion's Guard, and now they're both serving the Legion of Doom."

"Oh Celestia..." Power joins in, having overheard them. "I just hope something can be done with that Legion..."

She turns to Simba. "And what happened to Kion? He got 2nd Place in OT S38 and fought in the Battle Royale ten seasons later, but we've never heard from him ever since..."

He hangs his head low. "6k1, Power, a lot has happened to him since the last time he was nominated..."

The king explains that his son was bitten in the eye by Ushari under Scar's orders during the Battle for the Pridelands, and he and the Guard went on an expedition with Makini to find the cure. Kion eventually married Rani, and the Guard relinquished their roles to Vitani's and chose to stay at the Tree of Life.

"They arrived too late when the Outlanders attacked, and before that, the venom took a toll on his mind, nearly corrupting him into evil like Scar..."

"Does this mean that he might not remember me anymore?" asks 6k1.

"Most likely, but he was still in control of his actions since the venom took a long time to set in..."

"And did they find the cure?" asks Power.

"Yes, Nirmala healed him, but his scar still remains to this day."

Both 6k1 and Power take the time to understand Simba's story.

"I hope she restored his memories of me, then," says the former.

"And will you nominate him again someday? And also Simba?" asks the latter.

"Who knows?"

"As long as you don't nominate me just to see if I can fairly qualify for the Death Battle, I don't mind becoming your tribute again."

6k1 smiles and gets up, still putting a hand to her chest.

"Everyone, if you don't mind, I'll go back to the library to fully recover from my injuries." She yawns. "Besides, my jet lag from traveling out of Panem's setting in..."

"Understandable," says Power. "Miranda and I will see GC off, then."

"Me too," says Simba, "after which I'll say goodbye to my comrades here and return to the Pridelands."

"Alright, see you at the party!" says 6k1 to the nominators and their tributes.

She then goes outside and calls Perri to summon the portal back home.

Bale's Goddbye

Bale teleported Meta Knight and Lucina back to their worlds after the event and went back to his own base, but bot before saying goodbye to the other noms.

Bale: See you around, guys!

He then went back to his base, finding it orderly and calm, with his two assistants asleep, and Charlie peacefully resting on hsi chiar, he then sent her back to Hell and sat down in his chair to have a quick nap.

GC's Base

He says his farewells to 6k1 and Bale, then looks to the two ponies.

"Pow-Pow, Miranda, I'm gonna wait on the jet. Meet me there once you're ready."

He heads outside towards his parked jet, ascends the boarding ramp, and plops into the pilot's chair before checking his tablet to see Kylo and Malgus stroll up to their podiums, their crimson lightsabers ignited and black cloaks billowing dramatically behind them.

As he watches, a couple of thoughts come to mind: unless someone could do something about the whole simulator business, would they be having the second Nominator Games early? Where was Infinity in all this, training to prepare for the upcoming Murderers' Battle?

"I must also take my leave. I'll need to be back in Wallachia in order to stop my father once he rises from his grave yet again."

He then heads through a portal.

The Void

As Emet-Selch arrives, a massive, lanky demon with purple flames surrounding his body appears and greets him.

   "Welcome back, Emet-Selch. I've taken that you've made yourself known to those mortals."   

"Yes. I'll make sure Panem becomes Amaurot soon enough And this time, I won't let her get in the way."

   "Good, good. Speaking of which, do you still remember the time Galis killed you back in Norvrandt?"   

"I still do. I've managed to hide my anger. Her anger... not so much. The day I cut a hole in her stomach is the day I'll be a happy man."

   "Your revenge will come in due time, Emet. In due time... For the meantime, just chill in here while we plan."   

The demon conjures up a fancy chair for Emet to sit in. He's then greeted by Double.

"Since when did children end up working for the devil?"

   "Oh, we used to work for Dark Eldraseen, but after his death, Karnvaxael was kind enough to let us work for him, instead."   

   "We plan to nominate the clones of various organisms we've consumed into this Hunger Games thingy."   

"Interesting. But for now, we'll just plan..."

A final goodbye

Before the casket is shipped away,Tabby runs up to it and says her goodbyes.

   "Well,it was nice knowing a person just like you. Farewell..."   

A tear from Tabby's cheek hits the cover of it, she walks away sadly. She then prepares to leave the base to head back home. Pecan and Francisca attempt to comfort her as they head to her airship. Pecan whispers to Ichigo about Tabby in the backseat.

"I never seen her shown that much emotions lately. Does she have a fever or anything?"

"She seems fine,I guess? The funeral had really upset her."

"Maybe that's it"

The Base, Sometime Later

The rest of the guys finally arrive back, they begin working on some important things. The bodies of Chibiusa and Luci has been revived in good shape while Tabby works on some device in the workroom. Chibiusa and Clone!Nagisa hang out with each other with Chibiusa holding Luci close to her like he's a stuffed animal.

"Could someone please separate me from this pink meatball."

"We'll work out something but you have to endure that for a bit."

"Please make that sooner."

   "Aww,what a cute kitty!~"   

Clone!Nagisa reaches out to pet him.

"Change of plans. Right Now!"

"I'll talk to her..."

Pecan goes to the workroom where Tabby is, changed out of her dress and into her normal attire. She pulls up her mask when she enters the room.

   "Hello,Pecan. I'm working on something for Chibiusa,a replacement for the destroyed Luna-P."   

"Oh, thank god. Hope that gets finished soon before she shredded by Luci."

   "Yeah, go and separate the two."   

Evil in the Air

A eldritch dark cloud looks through the window of Tabby's Base and spies on her.

   "I hAvE bEeN wAtChInG hEr Fo R mAnY mOnThS. sHe WiLl Ma Ke An Ex Ce Ll En T vEsSeL.nOw I'lL jUsT wAiT fOr tHe Ri Gh T tImE,pErHaPs Th At No Mi Na To R pArTy Sh E's At Te Nd Ing."   

It lurks away.

Scipion gave Simba an hateful glare. If it wasn't for Tabby, he would have surely rip him to pieces. He then looked to 6k1 as she was healed.    "Seriously, you shouldn't be so careless sixy. You really need to train a bit."   

Scipion growled a bit when he heard Julius's revelation. Not only tributes were influenced by the gamemakers, but he wasn't very thrilled by that simulation Billy planned. Oh well, if it's realistic enough, he wouldn't mind, as long as he will be satisfied by the violence.

   "Well, I guess I'll see you all for the party. Try to not get killed by then!"    he said as Giratina opened up a portal to the Distortion World. As the rest of the group entered it he watched his master.    "Say. I'm not exactly a sentimentalist. But I have to agree with Dave on his little speech. I'm glad to have these nominators as friends, but I'm even more glad to be at your side... father."   

   "I am as well, Scipion. I am."    replied the dragon, smiling faintly as Scipion briefly hugged him in front of every other nominators, something that was quite surprising coming from the proud Zoroark. He then climbed on his back as both entered the portal and Scipion did his signature laugh.

Far away, the cloaked figure watched the late detective's base, standing at the top of the tree. Unlike before, the sunlight showed a bit more of their appearance. Dark dust was covering their entire body, preventing one to see what they truly looked like, but they possessed humanoid body, arms and legs with claws, their face was unfortunately obscured by both the Hood and the dusts.

The figure then jumped into the forest as the funerals ended, disappearing without a trace.

Detective Gamechanger's Base

Billy gives his goodbyes to the guests as they leave one by one while still trying to comprehend what was said, as the base's security system catches a glimpse of the mysterious figure, but not clear enough for definite identification. Soon, his tributes decide to follow them too in going back, until there's none of them in the place. Instead, only Billy, his clone, President Paylor, Katniss, and Peeta are now present.

They then step to the teleporter leading to the Detective's homeworld as the casket is carried there too. After a quick trip, they see what the place is like as they first end up in a building. The building is futuristic. Then, everyone steps out and sees more of the environment, which is also futuristic and advanced, while the setting is night, with the crescent moon happening.

The group then walks a kilometer through the road into the graveyard in a procession. Eventually, the group reaches the spot where the detective will be buried, having already been dug. The casket is soon lowered to the hole by the group, before the gravestone is placed. After some reflection, the group decides to make a detour to the Detective's old HQ in his world and then the site of his battle with Keith or Timewrecker.

The group eventually returns, with Paylor, Katniss, and Peeta returning back to Panem, while Billy and his clone return back to their mansion. They end up in the Tribute's Village first though, where Billy meets his Starble, Arcturus, petting him before returning.

Back in the Mansion, Billy soon thinks of the future. He wonders how it will turn out for everyone. He's just hoping whatever it will be, it should be a good one. He also looks forward to the party in few days.

Dave just follows along as things happen. Then, as the funeral starts to end, he puts a hand on 6k1's shoulder.

"Going home now, huh? Go ahead. Call me when you're about to go to the party. And I'll arrange for the best for our actual training. I'm most likely to postpone the plan of mine until later, anyway. And.... Things will be alright. I'm certain of it. For the both of us.... and to everyone," he tells her.

Then, the Advisors sign up to him that it's time to return home.

Unknown to even the hooded figure, another figure is also watching. Dark Dave, who had escaped after the battle against the triad of Dark Nominators, looks on further away. He sighs as the funeral continues, before departing by Corridor of Darkness.

Psyche's Fanfic School

Everyone returns to the fanfic school in due time, and lessons continue as normal. As Psyche heads up to the Tribute Transportation Room, she is surprised to find one of her book character counterparts there, humming to herself as she types at the computer.

She turns to the real Psyche with a smile. "Ah, you're back! I've just sent your tributes down to the Arena. The season won't be long now, I hope!"

"Ah, thank you kindly."

"It's not a problem. Oh, yeah." Alt!Psyche hands her a couple of letters. "You got mail."

"Thanks," the real Psyche says again as she takes the letters.

Alt!Psyche nods with a light hum. She dissolves into millions of tint particles, which all float in the air and fly back toward the library.

Psyche sits down and reads through the letters. One is from Fuyuhiko, reluctantly agreeing to attend the party as long as she doesn't harm Kazuichi or force the two of them to kiss. The other is from... BTS?

Psyche gulps as she reads through the letter written by Jin. It's affirmation that they will be attending the party, but she can tell that they still hold some resentment towards her. Like Fuyuhiko, the tone is reluctant, and it's clear that seeing Psyche is one of the last things they want at the party.

She sighs. She's had a lot on her mind since the revelation of tributes being directly influenced by the Gamemakers in seasons. And she's seen how 6k1 was almost killed by her own OT tribute, all because he'd relieved unpleasant memories of his time in the Games. Jimin would've left her alone if she'd just erased or suppressed his memories after recovering his body from the Arena. And the V Incident... although it's the greatest thing to ever happen for Psyche - though Kirishima and Bakugou's destruction of everything in existence is a close second - it had hurt and inconvenienced so many people who were close to her, including her own students. That wasn't even getting into the torturous ordeal that the innocent Kim Taehyung had suffered, even after he was set free thanks to Jimin's rampage.

"Is something wrong, Psyche?" Ms. May asks as she appears beside her.

"Ms. May..." Psyche acknowledges her with a quick glance, then looks back down at Jin's response. "I think I owe these guys an apology."

Epilogue music

GC's Base

After seeing the casket being returned to GC's homeworld, Power and Miranda say goodbye to the others and take Ichi's jet home. The heroes also say goodbye to each other, and they all return to their own worlds via the portals the robots opened for them.

Power's Home

After stopping by the bunker to take the teleporter home, the two ponies settle in. They both go to their rooms, take a bath, and flop onto their beds.

Power snuggles up in hers and gets her crystal ball. She talks to Ralsei about the funeral and how 6k1 was nearly killed by her one of her old tributes.

"Good thing Dave and Billy healed her quick. 6k1 really shouldn't have reminded a royal predatory animal of his past..."

"Ow... I guess I'm lucky I wasn't nominated in the OT..."

"Technically you were there during... you know."

"Don't mention it."

"Anyway, see you at the party!"

She ends the call and contemplates the truth about the Games. Power still likes to imagine that the tributes fight like real contestants instead of having their fates scripted by the Gamemakers. She's still unsure about the Simulator, but that won't stop her from watching her favorite Multiversal reality show. She wouldn't trade it for any other.

She closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep, dreaming about the fun times she'll be having with 6k1, Ichi, Dave, and their tributes at the party.

The Database Library, Basement

6k1 enters her office and takes a bath immediately. She changes to her pajamas, making sure the bandages are still intact, and checks on her assistants. Ally's plugged in and sleeping in her chair, and Dupe and Mimi are curled up in her lap. 6k1 smiles at the three of them and looks around the family room. Everything is still in place.

Looks like Ally did a good job taking care of them...

She gets her to-do list. She still has to write the letter to Paylor, secure the library with additional defenses, build Mimi's room, train with Dave, and last but not least, release the next Database update. 6k1 yawns again. While she loves her job so much, is she overworking herself already?

She goes back to her sleeping quarters and sets the alarm for the next day. Like her pony counterpart, she dreams about hanging out with the other nominators and their tributes at the party.

King Dedede and Bandana Dee pack up and leave.

Star Whale Palace, Docking Bay

Mr. Star finds that his surprise has finished. It's a large ship-shaped vehicle with four wings, tracks and a cute face in front.◊

Mr. Star then takes the vehicle's picture and sends it to 6k1 with a message attached. The message says "This, my friend, is my surprise to Kirby. It's a huge, flying, mobile home! I'm delivering this to Kirby now!"

He then flies into the vehicle, and it opens it's mouth, forming a door. He flies in and drives the vehicle. It flies out of the Palace and down to the earth.
