"Oh, you got to be kidding me," The Messenger says as he watches the program on a large television screen. Immediately, he started looking for things to cloudstep off of."..Are you trying to enter the screen?" a smol just casually appeared to ask.
"y e s. I wanna kill that man."
There were peacekeepers in the room at the time.
Next thing the messenger knew, he was sitting next to a corporate executive crab with a weird-ass sword and a mistranslation of Revenge of the Sith.
"Sooo..." he asked the crab, "You lift often?"

Underground Bunker, Computer Room
As he watches Snow's latest broadcast play out on the monitor, Ichigo just barely resists the urge to immediately send Kabal into the Capitol to assassinate the tyrant who, judging by this recent bout of regularly scheduled horse manure, had decided to lean into the Evil Santa nickname that he'd given him. Instead, he calmly grabs his cane, rises from the chair, and heads off to the bunker's shooting gallery, giving orders to a droid along the way.
"Make the target look exactly like Coriolanus Snow. I need to blow off some steam..."
"Right away, sir."
Sidenote: The first Hunger Games movie is actually playing on TV where I'm at, as of this writing. How about that? :p

"Ugh, seriously? I guess it's Gamechanger things." sighed Scipion. Sitting on the chair and taking off his cape, he smirked, reading 6k1's thoughts with his new powers.
"Ah, still memories of my past self ripping your friends to shred huh? Worry not, that Scipion is dead for good."
He saw that he had still wounds. He touched them with his claws and they healed themselves quickly. He raised his hands and the hole that the Databot left repaired itself in a red aura.
"Amazed by these powers and my new look? You can thanks the powers from the Void for that when I exiled myself. I suppose I should at least explain how I switched from that eldritch form to this superb body. Let's just say I had help from an old friend, the very one who trained me back in my homeworld and allowed me to get here in the first place. With him, we were able to prevent another apocalypse. I rejected almost all the nightmares within me, replacing it with the Void's energy that I can master far more easily."
Scipion ceased to smile and watched 6k1 into the eyes. "Still, the few nigtmare fuel I had left kept me in an animalistic state. I had to consume the souls of powerful beings to finally evolve. Valecor's lackeys did the job wonderfully. Still, I knew that I would attack anyone on Panem, including you guys. To prevent this, I had my friend watching over the nominators and their groups. He's the one who saved Power during that train's trip. After all, only a powerful being such as the Devil from my homeworld could manage to fight back my shadows for you. But even with his help, I somehow managed to attack you and almost ate your soul as well."
Scipion looked at the floor, clearly disgusted with himself. "I'm a psychopath. I live to fight. I kill and torture people for my own amusement. I'm a monster and everyone here know that. And I will never change because that because that's what I am and what I love to do. But I would never attack those that I trust. Unfortunately that already happened twice now because of my selfishness, because I wanted to be powerful and thought that we, nominators, should rule the universe. The nightmare fuel only emplified what I desired. So I guess... I'm sorry." Again, Scipion waited a few seconds before apologising to her. He wasn't at all the kind of guy to do that.
Scipion got up and smiled to 6k1. Not an evil smile like he usually did, but a more friendly one. "I will not repeat these mistakes again, just like my godlike friend Giratina did. Obviously, I'll use my powers to satisfy my bloodlust, but my top priority is to protect you and my friends and not gaining even more powers. Althought that doesn't include Panem's residents. Screw these weaklings."
Scipion was interrupted by Snow's program. "Speaking of the devil. I can't believe some people dare criticise me for being an asshole when they still have him ruling over them. It's maybe that, unlike Snowy, I assume it."
Now that he finally finished what he had to say, he looked behind him and saw what he accidentaly caused. Waiting for 6k1's answer, he closed his eyes and waved the trident, repairing any dammages he have caused when he arrived. Of course, he completely ignored the mess other people created. That was their fault for being so cowardly.

6k1 takes the time to digest all the information. She thinks hard on whether or not to forgive this rebellious nominator. If Twilight and her friends can forgive even the vilest of Equestrian villains, then why not her?
And then, the next episode of the "children's" show airs. Again, she winces at the kids being forced to kill Santa.
"You know what, Scipion? While you may be... passionate with what you do, you're still above the president."
The Zoroark then repairs the damages with his new powers.
"I was going to tell GC that he needs to pay for the damages to the conference room, but I'll spare him this time. Thank you and good luck on your Voidlands trip."
After Scipion leaves, 6k1's crystal ball glows. She rubs it.
"6k1, why's there a robot version of me in the Arena?" asks Power Stroke.
The Database Manager explains to her what it is.
"Oh Celestia... GC sure is crazy when it comes to his tributes, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Well... good luck to your creation, er... 'child', I guess?"
6k1 blushes. "Thanks. Anyway, are you ready to talk about what you learned at Snow's party?"
Power says yes and tells her about the Voidlands.
"I know that already."
"Really?! Who told you that?"
"Billy, since he plans to go there along with GC and Dave, and Scipion will also be going."
"I... I really hope they'll make it back safe... wait a minute, Scipion?!"
"Don't worry, he's sane now, and he's sorry for all the trouble he caused."
6k1 explains to her everything that he said during the meeting.
"You're letting him off for all of those?"
"Yes. He may be savage at times, but he's still one of our fellow nominators, and he promises not to hurt the ones he trusts."
Power contemplates on that for a moment. "I guess I should thank Giratina for saving us during the train ride, even if it was all for nothing."
"Yes, you should. However, you may still want to be cautious near Scip."
Power looks at her for a moment before nodding in understanding. She then tells her about her breakdown at the party and how she was comforted.
"See? Dave's such a good friend, right?"
"Yes, he is. By the way... what happened to the old Database?"
The same memory 6k1 tried to suppress comes back to her. She starts to cry.
"It's gone. I tried completing it before we moved to the new timeline, but I had to leave the old library behind."
She remembers when she was somehow revived after Scipion's rampage. Seeing the world around her being obliterated, she took shelter in the basement of the old library and tried to record the last moments of the Original Timeline. However, even her beloved workplace was crumbling down, so she had to evacuate, and fast! Having no other place to run, she got inside her time machine and set the dial to the future, seeing the Database one last time before being the first to arrive in the new timeline.
"But you worked so hard on it..."
6k1 wipes her tears. "It took me a few seasons to adjust to the new yet familiar environment and cope with the loss of the old Database, but I did not give up on my cause! See what I'm doing right now?"
"Yep! Keep up the good work!"
"And before we sign off, Ichi said that you're free to visit his bunker any time. I already gave the staff at the travel department the coordinates."
"That's great! Can't wait to see him again!"

Take him to Detriot
Det. GC's Base
The detective decides that now's the time to get his group ready for the Voidlands. He goes up to the living room, where the heroes he's gathered are swapping stories.
Hey Doom Slayer, can I count on you to take command of the base and watch over it with the others while me and some of my nominator friends go to the original Hunger Games world? This includes being on the lookout for anything suspicious happening in the arena.
The Doom Slayer cocks the new weapon he's currently holding proudly in response. Cresselia gives the detective a comforting look.
I may not be very effective against dark-types, but I can still detect them with my psychic abilities. So rest assured I'll be able to scan for any hostile beings in the area.
Alright then, I'll leave you to it.
The detective goes back to the portal and activates it, then enters the swirling chaos.
The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon World - Future of Darkness Timeline
The detective comes out of the portal at a clearing in a forest as a Grovyle and a pink Celebi were about to feast on some berries they gathered. The two of them look in alarm.
Eek!
Who are you?!
Sorry to startle you. I am from another universe. You may call me Detective Gamechanger. My world is peaceful like yours for the moment, but as evil never rests then neither shall I. What I ask is to help with my team to assist us against the forces of evil. I'm also planning to go explore an unknown dangerous world with some friends of mine and I believe your experience and abilities would help with that. So will you help me?
Grovyle and Celebi look at each other, then nod at the detective.
If it means making another world safe from evil, then we accept.
Just then a Dusknoir arrives with a Sableye.
Hello Grovyle,I just wanted to check on you to see how you're doing and— who is this guy!?
They fill him in.
Very well, I shall accompany you on that trip to that dangerous world.
Dusknoir turns to the Sableye that was with him.
Tell Master Dialga I won't be here for a while as I'm out on a diplomatic mission with another universe.
Yes sir!
The Sableye scurries off in the direction of Temporal Tower. The three Pokemon then follow the detective back to his base via the portal after taking the berries they had yet to eat.

Distortion World
Giratina was quite interested by the alternate timeline of his homeworld the detective went. After all, he didn't cared at all about the infamous Primal Dialga incident when it happened in his timeline. He wondered how would they would react when they will learn about his takeover in this timeline and Scipion, who just left 6k1.
He looked back at the crystals imprisonning Arceus, Dialga and Palkia. To him, the duo were useless idiots. The fact that Dialga once lost control was the proof of that. After all, he was able to fight and defeat them both. He only lost and was bannished because Arceus joined the duo. "I would like to finally settle our arguments dear brothers. I would like to make you suffer. But I have far more important things to do."
He looked back at a little bottle with black blood inside of it. Bellum's blood to be more precise. To save Celestia, he had to lure the beast out of it's dimension to Panem. Yet when he saw it flying towards the portal, Giratina felt something off about it. Out of Curiosity, he collected a bit of it's blood. Worst of all, he didn't knew where it went once repelled by Valecor and Grogar. Giratina began to meditate, analysing the blood.
Valecor's lair, Kid Buu's room
Kid Buu was one of the members from Valecor's legion who loved fighting the most. After a training battle, he went to his room, seemingly to rest. Sitting on his bed, he began to manifest himself inside his own body, making sure that no one would see him. Before him, 2 orange eyes with green pupils appeared. "So, it would seem that Xiamos, the grand heretic is starting to make his move... We wished that the distraction the god of evil created would last longer. But this horrible god is too late, we are closer than ever to our destiny. Meanwhile, you and Zero shall stay at the evil one's side. Maybe we could convert some of his allies into the true faith." Buu smiled evily, bowing to the eyes. "Patience! Patience! Soon, you, Zero and his dark matter spawn will witness it! Long we have waited, but the conflict between good and evil served us well! These pathetic good and evil gods that people have placed on pedestals will soon fall! All will see the truth of this universe!" The voice began to laugh and chanted "No more idols! The pedestals shall fall! No more idols! The pedestals shall fall! Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"

Underground Bunker, Personal Quarters
After having finished venting about Snow's latest act of depravity via blasting a target shaped like the tyrant to pieces, Ichigo lays upon the bed in his personal quarters, looking at a tablet. While he waits for the season to begin and keeps an eye on the news for updates, he decides to ship something to GC's base for him, Billy, and Dave to use on their journey into the Voidlands: advanced night vision goggles, in case said Voidlands decided to plunge them into darkness.
"Y'all can consider this an unbirthday present. Godspeed, you guys."
Unknown Spaceship
A person wearing black high-tech armor from head to toe with neon green highlights approaches a door. On the chest of his armor is the glowing green outline of a skull with the infinity symbol as the eye-sockets, with said eyes looking angry.
What can be seen of the spaceship he's on is also black with neon highlights, though said highlights were blue.
He knocks on the high-tech door. A deep male voice responds from the other side.
I take it you have something to report? Come in then.
He enters the room and makes his report.
Lord Timewrecker, the nominators seem to be wrapping up preparations for the trip!
Timewrecker is seated on a floating high-tech throne with a holographic touchscreen appearing out of it in front of its occupant, showing live feed from various locations in Panem and around the nominator bases.
He himself is wearing black armor from head to toe, with neon blue highlights. He had the same glowing skull symbol, but it's on his mask instead of his chest. Covering the rest of his head is a black hood. His left arm seemed fine, but his right arm was a skeletal, black prosthetic arm whose skeletal fingertips were neon blue claws. The glove on his left arm also had matching neon blue claws. He has a single should pad on his right shoulder that has a few neon blue spikes on it. Attached to that should pad is a cape that goes around his head from the back and back at the shoulder pad from the front, with the bottom of the cape reaching his kneecaps. Altogether he's just black and blue all over.
So it seems they're almost ready to leave to that useless world... good, we can start trouble with them in their absence.
But sir, what if they discover it's our doing?
Not to worry, my new recruit. I have several backup plans and contingencies for the various scenarios, we'll be fine. You'd be amazed at what having access to time powers can do...

Det. GC's Base
Back at the base, the new Pokemon recruits are chatting with the heroes the detective has already gathered, sharing the berries from the Pokemon world. A package teleports in on a shipping teleportation table the detective bought as it makes shipping quicker that way.
The detective opens the package, seeing as it's from Ichigo.
Well I already have that kind of tech, but can always use some spares so thanks.

Snow starts a new televised announcement.
My dear citizens, I must express condolences for the family of that late producer. However, all is not lost. With the amount of unemployment going on it's easy to fill new job openings, so he's already been replaced. That is all.

Seated upon his usual chair as he watches the season unfold, Ichigo isn't exactly surprised by Carnage's antics thus far. Kasady never was the most stable of individuals, after all, even before bonding to his symbiote; he never took the dangerous serial killer for a gamer, though, let alone one who played Fortnite. Meanwhile, Shriek was proving to be every bit as dangerous as her partner in crime.
He then looks to the Databot, still finding it jarring just how similar in appearance it was to Power, save for the grey, metallic, Terminator-esque exterior. He could only imagine how surreal its presence must be for 6k1 and Power herself...

Flashback: Dave's Home Base, before the Season
Seeing that the nomination period has begun, Dave decided to bring in something he's been meaning to do. He called Master Hand and Crazy Hand to the Base; they appeared soon after. Dave explained his plans, and asks for a weaker clone of each of them to be sent to the Arena. The Hands agreed to the plan.
Soon after, the Hands had managed to connect their minds with the clones. The clones were then sent to the Arena.
Present
Dave watches the Season's unfolding warily. He leaves the Main Hall to check on the Hands. Upon arriving at a designated spot specifically made to be used by them, he sees Master Hand checking if Crazy Hand is alright; they can feel an inklingA.N. of Carnage's mental torture, and it's rather painful.
"Brother, are you alright?" Master Hand asked, concern noted.
"Worry not for me, brother," Crazy Hand replies. I can handle more than his tortures."
"So, is your clone truly a mindless slave under Carnage's control, Crazy Hand? Or is it pretending to be mindless?" Dave pondered.
"Don't worry, we've got this under control. You can just take your rest and let us handle this."
"Very well. Do not hesitate to tell me if you need anything."
Dave departs to his sleeping quarters.
Meanwhile, with Advisor Fira
The Advisor suddenly receives a hologram call from one of the other masked men sent away. He told her of his brief "visit" to the World of Infinite Creations.
"Strange.... whoever, or perhaps whatever could that being be?" Fira pondered.
After some thoughts, she speaks again. "We will discuss this later. You focus on the mission to the Voidlands. The Base will arrange for your party soon enough."
She ends the call. Then she looks at the Power Stroke lookalike robot.
"Must be one of Detective Gamechanger's. He's always quite the odd one to me, but he's certainly well suited for combat," she notes to herself.

Pleased that he now had Crazy Hand for a servant, Carnage grins his usual psychotic grin before checking his phone to see how that space marine-looking guy was doing in Fortnite Mobile. Turns out that he'd racked up quite the high score while the offspring of Venom was otherwise preoccupied.
"Heh heh heh, your score won't be so high after I gut you..."
He looks up from his phone in time to notice that he'd stumbled upon the Databot, and the crimson symbiote retracts to reveal the red-haired Cletus Kasady beneath it.
"Oof, money issues, huh? Tell ya what, tin can, you caught me in a good mood, so I won't add to your problems by reducing ya to scrap metal... this time," Kasady remarks, chuckling menacingly as he stalks off, the symbiote engulfing him once more. With no Spider-Man, Brock, or that motormouth Deadpool to hound him, he planned to have as much fun as possible in this Arena.

While she was pleasant, polite and a good friend, his gut told him that she was not someone whose bad side he'd wanna be on.
"Honestly, Ichigo, what the hell were you expecting when you nominated an unhinged psychopath who's bonded to an alien symbiote in the exact same season as 6k1's life work personi-er, ponified?

Now kids, just fire at the sack and I'll give you a present for each successful hit!

There there kids, Santa's not gone.
But he's dead! We killed him!
No, I'm the new Santa for Panem! That was his punishment for giving gifts to those who are enemies of me. Now if you continue to follow my rules, you'll get presents. If you don't, well you may get something worse than coal. Got it?
