CaC was ready to try his hand at the Hunger Games again, taking the shape of Platinum.

Platinum: (looks at the list)Uh-oh, Raiden is a tribute now? I don't think he'll be too happy about me dating the One Being in Season 2...

Dave's Home Base

With Thrawn and Raiden summoned, the next plan is in fruition. For now, all that's left for Dave is to summon his new allies.

A green glow surges around his body, and when he's finished, a flash of light appears. Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, is in front of him.

(yawn) "It's certainly such an experience, dying and then returning to life. Oh, what have we here?"

"Enough blubber chat, Discord. There are other important matters at hand."

"Aww, you're no fun, you know that?"

"I am one to have fun when I need to. Right now, however, we have other things to discuss."

"C'mon, don't you think there's got to be a litle more—"

"Celestia's gone."

Discord stopped at that.

"What did you say? Celestia.... gone?"

"Yes. She's been turned into Daybreaker. I have my suspects: a Legion of Doom consisting of many villains across the Omniverse. I do believe that Chrysalis and Sombra are among them."

Those two, huh? Grrr.... I still remember the time that Chrissy kidnapped Fluttershy. Still brings some salt to my mouth."

"Speaking of Fluttershy.... she and her friends may very well be dead."

"What did you just say?! Who did it?!"

"The killer's long dead. But I do believe that they were an agent of a powerful threat. His name is Valecor, and I have no doubts that if he were to succeed with his plans here, he'll do an omniversal war."

"Is that so? I can take care of him—"

"No. He currently possesses six stones that allows him to bend reality. I've seen an alternate universe in which you fought against a man wielding two or three of these stones, and you lost rather badly. Such move would be terribly unwise."

"Very well. But judging since I am here, you did not revive me just for talks."

"Indeed. We know the principle: 'If you help me, I'll help you.' That's what I'm offering to you. Right now, there is no possible way for us to destroy Daybreaker's influence on Celestia, but we've managed to find another way. What we intend to do is to pull her influence and self out of Daybreaker's body, and place it in another vessel until we can find a way to remove her influence for Celestia's body."

"I see.... What of—"

"As for Fluttershy, she and her friends were part of a greater League of Justice. That means they're pretty bound together, and that's our main problem. We do not yet have the energy to pull off the stunt perfectly; our power source is not enough."

"So, this is where I come in?"

"Yes and no. You are indeed very powerful, but to do this resurrection process, we will need some other additional power to ensure success. Such as...."

Dave whispers something to the draconequus.

"Oh?"

"Yes. But.... It will take some time. Now, then, I want your Pinkie Promise, that you will swear your undying fidelity to my cause— our cause."

Discord performs the Pinkie Promise willingly.

"Thank you. Now, I believe we are in need of another friend who could help us. For now, Discord, you may do whatever you want as long as you don't betray your promise or compromise the cause. After all, there are fates worse than death."

"Yes, you can have my word."

He teleports away. Dave smirks to himself; one more ally, possibly friend, to the cause now.

Valecor's Lair

By now the entirety of Legion of Doom (save for members they didn't particularly like such as Zamasu) has been revived by Valecor along with the allies they recruited.

Observing Freddy Krueger and Nightmare arguing, Valecor asks Ghetsis how the recruitment of Freddy went since it happened while Valecor was gone.

Ghetsis:   Oh, Jason didn't bother trying to recruit Freddy. Freddy just followed after him seeking payback on Jason and found himself at the lair, upon which after we explained ourselves to him he joined us.   

   Ah.   

Valecor then turns to Bill.

   So, were you able to recruit Infinite before he died?   

   No, the accursed Shadow Queen made her move before I was able to and thus I had to give it up to deal with the minions she unleashed.   

Nodding in understanding, Valecor resurrects Infinite. The jackal is confused at first, but after being explained that he's been brought back to life by Valecor and the purpose of the Legion of Doom, Infinite joins, eager for a world for him to act out his sadistic desires.

The Beginning of the Rogue Agents

As the days passed, it became clear that the Legion of Doom's members were getting more and more distrustful of each other. Chrysalis, Tirek, Sombra, Cozy and Daybreaker were already plotting to take down Grogar, and Nightmare was growing wary of his fellow demon overlords. And Janna and Tom were planning a way to escape

Tom: Janna, we'll have only one chance for this. If we are to escape this whole mess we have to be stealthy and play it safe. Which means no portals or magic, or that Grogar guy will see where we go.

Janna: Alright, I'm not that sold on your plan, but to be honest it's probably better than mine. Well then, what's the plan.

Tom: Alright, first we'll have to get a disguise, we won't be Tom and Janna, we will be two regular guys... Jim and Ana!...

Janna: Eh, okay?

Tom: After getting the disguises, we'll have to steal a spaceship or a portal from this lair, once we're away I'll use my powers to attempt to find the Realm of Magic and get to Mewni there, we must be sure to revive Star and Marco when we get there.

Janna: That plan has a 75% chance of failing miserably, I like it. Alright Mr. Hot Demon, let's go!

And so began the first step of the escape plan, only time would tell if it would be succesful

Meanwhile with Grogar's Legion

Cozy Glow: Alright so we are betraying Grogar. But how? He is too strong and we're not exactly capable of overthrowing him at the time, even if we fought together.

Tirek: We'll have to play the waiting game here. If Discord's still at large I'm sure he'll come for Celestia, and when he does we could coerce him into getting rid of Grogar for us

Chrysalis: Hey! That was my plan, Lord Tirek!

Sombra:    I suppose if we are to get him to assist us then we have to be discreet and not provoke him.   

Daybreaker: Leave the convincing part to me, I'll make sure he won't resist or back out of the deal. And then we get rid of Grogar.

Grogar didn't hear them for he was talking with Nightmare and the other high-class demons, showing a lot of distrust towards them

Grogar: Now that most of our Legion's back it's important that we start focusing on the future, we have to plan ahead and create countermeasures to any possible problems or obstacles we may find.

HIM: I suggest we get in their heads and destroy their psyche, that'll make sure they won't interfere.

Black Hat:    But what if they're prepared for us? If I have learned anything about heroes is that they are persistent little pests.   

Toffee: I suppose that you have made a possible contingency plan for that...

???: Yes he has!

All the villains turned around to look at a redhead woman who wore a lizard costume and was walking on all fours, in complete confusion

Black Hat:    Oh no, it's Dementia.   

Black Hat groaned as he knew it would be a long day

Infinity's Bunker

...I shouldn't have said a goddamn thing before that season started. Fucking hell, that was just pathetic on my tributes' part.

Infinity sighs.

It's just disappointment after FUCKING disappointment for me, huh?! -slam-

Infinity looks at the new fist-shaped dent in his desk and sighs again.

...Okay, Infinity. Calm the hell down. As frustrating as this all might be, you don't need to start breaking shit to vent your anger. Relax.

After trying to calm down, Infinity pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

'Ey, Ras, you there? ...Yeah, I'd like to send a Lao-Shan Lung and a Shen Gaoren into the arena this time. Maybe they'll get some kills for me this season. ...The hell do you mean, they're mostly passive creatures by nature? Whatever, I don't care. I just need some time. ...I ain't tellin' you what I need that time for until you return to the base. ...No, it's not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't trust your coworkers to stop being frickin' nosy scumbags anytime soon. ...See ya.

After saying this, Infinity hangs up, and starts talking to nobody in particular.

...I'm building an army. That's what all the Coolkids™ are doing these days, right? And then I'll head in myself for good measure. It seems like something big's gonna go down soon, and I want to be there to fuck some shit up when it happens.

Valecor's Lair

Bill comes back with the list of tributes for the next season.

   So, we're going to recruit more tributes as usual?   

After looking at the list, Valecor shakes his head negative.

   Eh, the evil tributes this season are either ones we already have or ones that aren't that evil. Recruit them if you wish, but for this season I'm going focus on upgrading the lair instead.   

   Ah, so what upgrades do you plan on doing first?   

   Proper bedrooms and bathrooms for one thing, plus reinforced walls so that the lair won't collapse on itself in this crumbly mine, especially if a battle is fought here. Thinking of using a mythril-titanium alloy with magic enchantments for the latter and having our fellow members design their own bedrooms for the former. Stuff like a training area to hone our skills will come later, I'm prioritizing here.

   "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE JOINED THEM AS WELL??"    Yelled Scipion, absolutely livid.

   "Why are you so suprised, mortal?"   , said mockingly Elizabeth.    "Just because Celestia saved him doesn't mean that he had renounced his sadistic ways. Another proof that you fools cannot control us, tributes."   

   "You'd better shut that mouth of yours, Elizabeth."    hissed Scipion.    "First Cell and now Infinite... already 2 of my tributes betrayed me. I think I'll be forced to take radical actions in order to have a better control on you."   

   "How about you nominators start to take action against him? To be honest, all what most of us tributes see in you are cowards, sadistic weaklings nominating us for their own amusement. Knowing this, it's no surprise that some of them would join any form of contestation, especially villains... But enough of this nonsense, I only came to give you this."   

The vampire countess gave to Scipion a purple liquid.    "Nightmare fuel? Why? I only need Valecor's essence in order to become a nightmare lord.   

   "That is where you are wrong."    said Death as he appeared.    "Every beings borned out of nightmare fuel needs to drink it as much as they can. The more they drink, the more powerful they become. Althought Valecor's essence is necessary, you'll need to use nightmare fuels in order to become a nightmare's lord as well and you'll need a lot."   

   "Hmph, I see. I'll have the scientist secretly produce more nightmare fuel, for me only. As for you, just like my future tributes, I want you to hunt down Valecor's minions. Kill them, torture them, I don't care just get rid of them. But don't fight Valecor, I want to take care of him personally. As for Cell and Infinite, if you capture them, bring these traitors to me, I'll make them regret that betrayal. As for you two, how could I be assured that you won't do the same?"   

   "We have already told you, we are only loyal to count Dracula. Besides, since Valecor's organisation is mostly composed of ambitious villains, it wouldn't take long for these fools to fight each other for power, just like the Shadow Queen tried to do before..."   

   "You're right... In fact, you just gave me an idea!"    said Scipion, as he began to smile.    "Once I have enough power, I could manipulate some of them in order to acelerate the alliance's downfall. I especially think about the homicidal villains, since I also enjoy massive bloodshed..."   

As Death and Elizabeth left Scipion, in order to train for the upcoming season, the Zoroark cackled alone, as he walked to the nightmare's device once more. He could already feel just a little bit of nightmarish power in his veins. But he needed more power, more nightmare fuels. No matter what the price he have to pay, he will become a nightmare's lord.

The Hunger Games Database Library, Basement

6001 calls her scientists to revive Sarabi and Sarafina and send them back to the Pridelands. She then begins writing the letters to her next tributes.

Dear Dr. Jumba Jookiba,

As part of my plan to send in almost every experiment into the Hunger Games, I'd like to request that Experiment 509 (Sprout) be shrunken back to his normal size and sent to the Arena. While I can have him sent there at his current size◊, I'd like to observe how he performs in his normal form first. He has the potential to do more than what he's designed to do, like Doubledip.

Also, please check on Lilo on how she's coping with Stitch's death. I haven't received any news if he was resurrected yet, and I'm sure she's not taking it well.

Sincerely,
TRP-6001

Dear Gloriosa Daisy,

Congratulations! You've been chosen to fight in Season 43 of the Hunger Games! Once you arrive in the Arena, please proceed to the Science Center for a complimentary gift.

Also, please tell your brother Timber Spruce to watch over Camp Everfree while you're gone.

Sincerely,
TRP-6001

The Database Manager folds up the letters and mails them. She then calls her scientists. "Prepare the replicas of the geodes Gloriosa found in the rock quarry. We've got this."

Valecor's Lair

Bill takes a look at the list of tributes again and suddenly gets an idea.

   Say, mind if I go to GASK and have them open an interdimensional portal for me? I have an idea that may pay off.   

Valecor:   Fine. I'll contact Mr. X and have him get right on it once you tell him where you want to go.   

Mhazard's Headquarters

"Alas, poor Ribey..."

A mysterious scientist repeated the same sentence like before. It somewhat becomes a catchphrase of some sort.

"Even after I gave you my Plot Armor, you still somehow died... it's getting amusing... isn't it?"

He's the person who kept sponsoring Ribey, a white-haired girl who lived and died in the Arena over and over again.

On the surface, he's a sadistic person who sends cute girls after cute girls straight to their dooms for his own amusement. Beneath the surface, he secretly cared about them dearly and wished for their wellbeing. He's been using his catchphrase to cope with his sadness, trying to laugh it off in front of everyone else, even though it makes him look like a remorseless sadist who likes to see his tributes die over and over again.

"Ribey..."

No matter what happened to the girl, he refused to abandon her. The maintenance cost for Ribey means nothing to him. As long as the girl could live happily, he's willing to do everything to repair her.

"No worries, in my memory, suffering is my only talent, I'm only good at dying..."

As the scientist reattaches the girl's head back to her body, he's shedding tears. Even though he claimed that he liked to watch her suffer over and again to everyone else, it seems that his claim was far from true.

"That must be painful, isn't it? No worries... Ribey, no matter what happens..."

"I'm going to die again... am I?"

"I'll make damn sure you won't die ever again! The rest of them might treat you as a laughingstock and laugh at you, but to me, you're my precious ribeye steak! So hear me well, Ribey..."

"...?"

The scientist holds the girl's hands and gives some encouragement tearfully. Even though it's very likely to end up become a lie, he refuses to give up Ribey.

"As long as we keep going, we'll one day prove them wrong! You're going to live and win! No matter what happens, I'll always wait for you. So... don't you dare dying before me ever again!"

As the next season is about to begin, the scientist tearfully looks at Ribey for the last time before leaving the room with his new tributes, knowing full well that they're going to share the same fate as Ribey's.

"Alas, poor Ribey..."

Tom and Janna's escape

Tom: Well, this is it! We have only one chance to get out of here. Let's get going!

Janna: Alright.

Both of them then put on disguises to pass off as mere mooks, on their way to the exit they found out that someone was guarding the exit. Luckily for them, it was Zim

Zim: Alright, the ships are looking good, you've done well, Zim, done well.

Tom: Excuse me...

Zim: WHAT IS IT?! WHO DARES TO INTERRUPT ZIM?!

Tom: Why me, Jim the spaceship mechanic, of course!

Zim: You must be new, coz I have never heard that name before here... Anyways if you want to check on the state of the ships then let me tell you I've already done that.

Janna: Yeah, but have you tested them to see if they work properly?

Zim: Uh, no.

Janna: Too bad mister, I guess we'll have to take over now, you are officially supplanted for today.

Zim: Alright then, go on and get over with it.

Tom: Don't worry, we won't disappoint with our test we'll take this inter-dimensional travelling ship for a small 5 minute ride.

Both boarded the ship and started to activate it

Janna: Hey, do you know how to pilot this thing?

Tom: Not yet, but I did bring an instructions book I snatched from Black Hat, that'll help us escape.

Using the book they both started the ship and flew off

Zim: Okay, those guys should be back aaaany second now!

[5 Minutes Later]

Zim: Wait a minute...

Tabby turns on a TV in her sleeping quarters to the live broadcast of the games. She watches the events unfold.

   "Hmm, Both of them seem to be doing well. Garmadon has been the first to spill the blood of three tributes already, Valecor's forces might be eyeing him as an ally since he used to be evil in the past, I'm not sure if he reverted to his own ways. I hope Ichigo survives long enough so we can go back to testing soon. Sneaking into the Arena might be hard especially because of the incident last season."   

Tabby glares at the purple cube on her bedside table and punches it off of the table. She picks up to be what is a pager beside her.

   "Hey Pecan, It's me. I need to talk with you about something important in my office, Hunger Games related. And also the whereabouts of the other nominees and multiverse testing."   

She gets up and walks to her office

Valecor's Lair

As some minions of the villains are sent out for information about construction materials, Valecor speaks up.

Valecor:   While we wait for word on the supplies for the upgrades to the lair, I've been meaning to ask you all something: what do you know about the ones that nominated you?   

Cell:   Well, Scipion was apparently one of the eviler nominators... and we happen to know where is base is, right Infinite?   

Infinite nods in agreement. Valecor grins and has a shadow clone of him split off from him. The clones then shapeshifts into Detective Gamechanger's appearance.

"Det. GC:"   Well if that's the case, then take me with you. if he's evil I can work with that. To help let his guard down, why not pretend to be my prisoners so that he'll believe that "Det. GC" is returning his tributes to him?   

   A bit undignifying, but I suppose if it gets the job done I'll do it.   

Soon Cell, Infinite and the fake Det. GC left for Scipion's lair.

T-Bone, the host of the current season, walks out from a privately-owned helicopter, into a mysterious forest clearing.

In the clearing, the fake Seki-Kun is sat, tied to a tree.

T-Bone adjusts the lapel of his sports coat, before starting. “You know Mister, I’m impressed. How’s a nobody like you get into the Games? And more importantly, well, why would you want to?”

The fake spits on the ground before him.

“No talk huh? Well, I suppose I can hazard a guess. Maybe some glory? Some security? Revenge against one of the tributes? Either way, I don’t truly care, but I am glad we found you.”

T-Bone crouches down in front of the fake. “This Valecor fella is out here somewhere, and quite frankly, the hunt of it all, well, it excites me.”

T-Bone enters his back pocket and pulls out a dog collar. “That double update should suffice the people for a while, and even if it doesn’t, I left a recording or two behind just in case. Either way, the two of us will be spending a lot of time together. You’re gonna help me find the Nightmare bastard, and hopefully, I can kill him. Capiche?”

The fake shakes his head. I don’t mess with that Valecor shit man...

“He speaks!” T-Bone chuckles smugly. “Well, listen Mister. When you chose to break into these lovely games, well, you messed with that shit big time.”

The fake struggled in his spot as T-Bone carefully strapped the dog collar around him, before connecting it to a nice little leash. T-Bone went ahead and untied the fake. Once the fake tried to make a break for it, however, T-Bone pressed in a handy little button, and the fake shot to the floor in pain.

“C’mon little doggy. Let’s go hunting for Valecor.”

Infinity's Bunker

After watching the male Rathalos Hunter kill Shen Gaoren, Infinity sighs.

Fuckin' hell, it just ain't a HGS season without one of my tributes dying within the first two days, huh... But I guess it's only fitting that one of the hunters would be the one to kill Shen Gaoren.

As he says this, he hears a knock on the bunker's door.

What's the password?

A girl's voice responds.

This is Ras, open up.

Nope. Not even close.

(Oh, for fuck's sake.) Remember how inept Glavenus and Bloodbath Diablos were last season? That was pretty infuriating, wasn't it?

...Close enough.

The door opens just long enough for Infinity's mysterious assistant, a purple-haired girl in her early 20s wearing a red hoodie◊, to enter the bunker.

...Sorry about that. I ran into a bit of... trouble... on the way here.

Oh?

N-not that it was anything too major, it was just that I ran a couple of monsters having a turf war on the way here, and I didn't have my hunting gear with me...

Damn, that's rough. ...So, anyway, about that "thing" I mentioned earlier...

Infinity gestured towards a screen hanging from the ceiling, where pictures of several of the monsters Infinity had nominated, as well as many other monsters that he hasn't nominated, were displayed.

I'm gonna resurrect the monsters up here that I've already sent in, and I need you to round up the ones that I haven't. We're gonna build ourselves a nice little army, and send it in as one tribute.

...Isn't that cheating?

Is it, though? Plenty of other people have submitted large group tributes in the past. And I get the feeling that "Isn't that cheating?" isn't really the question that you want to ask right now.

Ras stares at the screen before realizing something.

You want me to capture ALL of those?!

Don't worry, you won't be doing all the work alone. I'll help you out with some of them.

...Okay. I'll get started with that now, but you better not be lying to me.

Oh, trust me. If I was lying to you, you'd be able to tell, wouldn't you?

...I'm going to get everything I need for those hunts ready. I'll see you in a bit.

Ras then walks off to her quarters.

...I hope she doesn't get hurt too badly.

Infinity turns back to the live video feed of the current season.

I'm counting on you, Lao-Shan Lung...

Bloodbath

Mett approaches Venom."Look,I know we are technically enemies,but could you protect me just for a few seconds?" Venom thinks for a bit before nodding and guarding Mett as he...paints a picture? "Thanks,anytime you need a favor just tell me." he says before running off.

Venom runs away before they have a talk.    "Why did we spare him? There can only be one survivor,correct Eddie?"    "Yeah,but I had a weird feeling...like I know this guy. Anyway,you gotta lighten up a little. Who knows,maybe this'll be fun."

Day 1

Mett gets surprisingly far in Wipeout before getting stuck at those damn balls.

Meanwhile,Venom gets webbed up by Rex but he quickly cuts himself free and escapes.

(Platinum sees Raiden gain telekinesis like Ermac and Kenshi)

Platinum: Crap... Talim, quick! Blue dye! No time to explain!

(Talim dyes Platinum's fur blue)

Platinum: And now... (Discards cap and scarf) If that's Dark Raiden, he better not recognize me!

Somewhere in the Arena - Night

Surrounded by the woods of the arena and outside the arena force field, a luxury train is on schedule with its precious cargo. The full moon provides just enough light to show that this particular train has an old-fashioned rustic paintjob of red with yellow lines. Along the side of the train were the words "Exceptional Express".

Inside the train, two passengers were talking among themselves about the train.

I say, this is quite the unusual train, it feels like I walked back in time!

Well, I heard that the train isn't owned by Panem like most of the other trains, but a relatively new sponsor that took and interest in the games. I think they were called Qyvil & Sons? I guess they have an appreciation for history.

Qyvil & Sons? isn't that the same company that's sending bottles of brain bleach to tributes—

They are interrupted by the loud something of something making contact with the train.

What was that!?

The couple look out the window to see something with four yellow eyes running alongside the train, but the shadows of the woods make it too dark to make out what the creature is.

Is that one of the creatures they release into the arena for the tributes to deal with?!

Suddenly the train enters a clearing, revealing a pack of those wolf-like creatures. Horrifically mutated, the black beasts lean their heads back and howl as if uttering a war cry, their lower jaws splitting open in the middle to reveal more teeth.

N-n-no... whatever these things are, they're far too hideous to be the Capitol's work!

W-wait... they're been sending eldritch monsters as tributes in the past... y-you don't think they had something to do with this!?

Then as if one cue the abominations of nature attacked the train, jumping all over it, pounding on the metal to try to get inside.

The conductor, thinking quickly, frantically keep pulling the train whistle as a distress signal after he called for help on the radio.

As "Detective Gamechanger", Cell and Infinite approached Scipion's lair, they saw the entrance of a cavern, with blood-red metallic doors. Suddenly, they opened up, revealing Scipion himself, without any soldier to escort him. As Infinite and Valecor's shadow were confident, Cell was on his guard. He have been nominated twice by Scipion and knew that the nominator is unpredictable.

   "Gamechanger..."    said coldly the Zoroark, his arm crossed as the trio was approaching him. Althought he got along well enough with the others nominators despite his habits, Gamechanger was one of the few that he liked the least, since the detective was against his sadistic ways.

   "Hello Scipion!"    replied "Gamechanger".    "I've managed to caught some of Valecor's allies. I believe these two were your tributes, so I'm returning them to you so that you could do... well whatever you want with them."   

   "Really? How kind of you."    said Scipion as he approached Valecor's shadow, before suddenly stopping.    "Althought this is strange. I remember that you told me that you wouldn't let me have any prisonners because of my methods."   

   "Well... This is... an exception! Yes, that's the only time I'll deliver prisonner to you. Besides, I know that you wanted to deal with these two personally, so that's why I'm here."   

"Gamechanger" arguments seemed to work as Scipion got closer and closer. Infinite and Cell were ready to use their powers on him when...

   "You know, it's a shame that you hadn't come earlier."    said Zoroark as he looked at "Gamechanger" right into the eyes, before letting out a wide, creepy smile as his voice got more and more distorded.    "If you did, I certainly would have fall for that pathetic trick. Too bad I can AlsO SenSE NighTmARisH'S BEinGs thANkS TO my NEwfoUnD PoWerS!"   

Before anyone could react, Scipion let out a agonising and terrifying screech. Suddenly, a nightmarish shadow claw came out of his chest, catching the shadow by surprise before crushing him. As Infinite tried to flee, Cell began to invocate a Kamehameha, aiming for the nominator. Unfortunately, Scipion only laughed like a mad man, as his hairs suddenly took life, becoming as dark as the claw. With impressive speed, it caught both Infinite and Cell. Scipion, still laughing evily, turned into a dark, eldritch cloud shaped like his face as he absorbed the two unfortunate villains, before retreating into his lair, as the door closed by themselves.

Inside Scipion's lair...

Inside his throne room, the cloud dissipated itself, revealing Scipion, exhausted but still smiling, as he gazed upon Cell and Infinite, unconscious. All the nightmare's fuel that Death gave to him before the season's start and his intense training in the machine were worth it. It was only a clone, but he crushed Valecor's shadow and finally caught the traitors. Luck was on his side.

   "I know... that I'm not strong enough to fight in a duel against him... But with you two, I'm sure that, together, we will accomplish great things..."   

As he ordered his robotic guards to take them to his torture's chamber, he heard on the radio the conductor of the train, asking the Capitol and the nominators for help.    "So... they're not able to defend themselves? Weaklings, all of them..."   . He ignored it completely as he followed the soldiers, excited to play with his new victims.

After his death,Mett respawns in his home,and quickly runs to his computers,hoping against hope Venom is still alive. He sighs in relief when he sees Venom is still alive before going to the kitchen to grab some cookies,preparing himself to watch the Games for a few days.

A few days later

A smile splits Mett's face as he sees Venom successfully imbue Raiden with the symbiote. "I'm glad I chose you as a tribute...I wonder if you'll infect anyone else."

Platinum: Snow... is my dad? What, so I'm part human?

Valecor's Lair

Bill finally returns to the lair. The black armored nightmare spoke rather grumpily.

   So you're finally back. Got any news to brighten up my day?   

   Yep, a successful recruitment of a powerful ally. I just told him we'll help him get revenge on humanity.   

   You can tell me the details of it later. Right now a rescue is at hand as I was not expecting a nominator to gain nightmare powers and destroy one of my clones. as such I'm not going myself to do it until the nightmare powers of this enemy is gone.   

He hands Bill a odd-looking gun.

   I had our eggheads quickly make a teleportal gun.   

He then tells Bill the location of Scipion's lair before also handing him a stink bomb.

   Canines are known to have exceptional senses of smell, so let's use that against him as a distraction!   

Nodding, Bill takes the gun and stink bomb. Soon he was at Scipion's lair, using the teleportal gun to quickly move through the lair until he finds Cell and Infinite getting handled by Scipion's robot guards with Scipion following close behind. Having the fortune of not being noticed by them due to being behind them, he quicklygoes in front of Scipion's face and immediately has the stink bomb explode right then and there, grabbing Cell and infinite in the commotion. He then speaks loud enough for Scipion to hear.

   We now have Dracula on our side!    he laughs as he takes Cell and Infinite with him into the portal, which immediately closes up behind him.

Moments later, Cell and Infinite were back at Valecor's Lair, resting.

Infinity's Bunker

Upon seeing Lao-Shan Lung fall to its death, Infinity started repeatedly banging his head against his desk.

...Sounds like he's losing it again.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Have you ever considered taking anger management classes?

Shut it already! I don't have ANGER ISSUES!

Riiiight... Well, I'm off to capture some of those monsters you wanted. Wish me luck.

Without really waiting for a response, Ras starts to walk towards the base's dimensional gate.

Hey, wait! I said I'd help you with this, didn't I?

Oh? I didn't actually think you would...

Infinity walked out of his quarters, hunting gear equipped.

You really ought to have a little more faith in me, you know?

I guess...

Anyway, let's get going. These monsters won't hunt themselves.

The two were long gone by the time the bunker's radio received the conductor's distress call.

The Escape is Discovered

Thanos watched Janna's and Tom's escape from afar and he found Zim in the station, realizing that he was duped easily

Thanos: I see you let two of our members escape, Zim. The others won't be amused by your failure.

Zim: I haven't lost them... I can still go and capture them, then bring them back here.

Thanos: If I was you I'd start doing so right now.

Zim: Don't Tell Zim how to do his job!

Pythor watches his past self

Pythor: Well, would you look at that? My past self just stepped up his game. And now Garmadon is gone. Oh, what a life!

Overlord:    We could certainly use his help   

Pythor: Yes, we can

Valecor's Lair

Watching the games from the television, Valecor speaks up.

   Hmm... this Sir Pentious and Professor Fate are more competent than I gave them credit for for surviving this long. perhaps we should recruit them...
