HGS: Convergence

District 12, Lake

"No problem, Ich."

The two of them watch the lake being bathed in the warmth of the sunset. Power notices the silhouette of a pony taking a boat ride in the distance.

"I wonder who that could be...?"

District 12

"Hmm?"

Ichigo's gaze flickers to the silhouette as well.

"Odd... maybe it's Starfall or Gale? Draw up some binoculars and see if you can't get a better look at 'em."

Det. GC's Base

The detective stops, curious about said organizations.

Sure, might be useful. After all we have no idea who or what is allies with Timewrecker at this point, so that would help if any of them are with him—

As he was turning to face Bale he freezes mid-turn, seeing the G-13 sample Giratina gave him hopping about on the table.

The G-13 sample... it's getting agitated! Does this mean the thing is going to strike again somewhere!?

He immediately runs to it, calling one of his robots over. When it arrives he gives it an order.

Carefully take this to the lab and analyze it. If it's moving in a certain direction or shows any indication of something in a certain direction, look at all the universes in that direction. If its big sibling is in said direction, catch it on camera and record what it's doing. Don't lose sight of its big sibling until it's no longer a threat, understand?

The robot nods and takes the sample before heading off in the direction of the lab.

Valecor's Lair/Voidlands

Valecor spoke.

   This is why I've been taking it slow with my own evil plans as something like this has a few problems that need addressing. I'll try to condense this as the Voidlands here could act up at any given moment. If the convergence is inevitable, then I suggest making sure you can control it. Rather than be smug and say you can do it, best to confirm you actually can pull it off. Also, try not to destroy everything, I fear that upsetting the balance can have unforeseen consequences that can come back to haunt you.   

   I know this as I myself am a being of balance myself, in this case the balance of evil as I contain the good and bad of evil in equal parts. By "good", I mean the parts of a villain that makes them approachable and smart, the "bad" being the parts of a villain that makes them unapproachable and dangerous. Villains that are mostly full of the "good" pat of evil tend to be good bosses to their underlings and have their own code they go by, even willing to help the hero side if it's good for their business. Not that they'd switch sides or anything, they just see the hero as a good partner or customer when they're not enemies with them. Villains that are mostly full of the "bad" part of evil tend to be the kind of villains that everyone including other villains despise. The latter is the kind of villains we should typically avoid recruiting as they could prove to be a danger to us.   

   I suggest finding out how much of the multiverse it would affect currently. If it only affects just enough universes for you to use then that should be enough, the multiverse is massive enough that it could be next to impossible to keep track of it all. Our group probably isn't big enough to manage all that properly. Plus, the universes that the convergence could effect may include universes with potential allies to us, so we don't exactly want to destroy those yet.   

   As for getting rid of all the heroes in one fell swoop, while that would be nice I also see it as unwise, best to keep some heroes around to keep us on our toes. if they were all eliminated then with none to oppose us it may spark boredom and I've seen and heard of enough causes of boredom to know that folk tend to do stupid things when bored.   

   Lastly, one thing I wanted to establish but forgot about it is a set of guidelines on the proper way to be evil. This would ensure none of us steps out of line or makes any decisions that would cost us. We all make mistakes, myself included, so nobody's perfect. Those who claim they're perfect are just following a logical fallacy. This is why we're all blessed with a gift that's called learning from experience. So a good first step for the guidelines is to think about the mistakes you've made in your villainy and write then down as examples of how not to do things. This way we can learn from each other's mistakes. If it becomes lengthy enough to write a book about it, then do so, we could mass produce it and sell it to our evil allies. Of course it should be monitored so that the knowledge doesn't fall into enemy hands that could use it against us, I learned that the hard way with Timewrecker now that I know what my former top minion is up to these days.   

The Underground - Alphys' Lab

Mew Mew continues to think about the stage plans.

Say, how about the floor of the stage being completely full of light-up dance tiles? Maybe even having a disco ball and a laser show! And maybe a ticket booth as I currently have no idea how many people will show up. Say, how about inviting that nominator gal and her friends to the show once it's ready?

"Yeah, sure" Zanreo replies to Bale. "Could be useful to know..."

Gamechanger's Base

She then excused to send her message to what is possibly Pecan.

   Good afternoon,Pecan.I have probably haven't talked with you in while I am sorry for, breaking my promise of updating you daily. Unfortunately, this is will be my last message to you in a while since the Voidlands doesnt allow outside communication but once I get back at least, I'll tell you all about it. While I'm gone, make sure that Operation Mu Mu is ready and secured and make sure any artifacts and DNA Samples aren't misplaced or broken. I heard that you activated that Janet without my permission which I did not like but I appreciate you sending that message throughout of the multiverse. Did you send in Tributes yet for this season? I have them planed out in my journal in that place I always keep it, there are only about 5 spots left and they fill up quick, they are probably planning to increase the number of maximum tributes per season soon. For now, Farewell until we speak again! ~   

Much Later

   "I'm finished with what I wanted to do,I heard that Bale has some information about these so-called evil organizations popping up? Glad that we have this information near our fingertips."   

She turns around and sees a sample of GC's, one of which she decided to control her kleptomania around, about to burst.

   "Uh,guys???"

District 12, Lake

Power nods and flips her sketchpad to a new page. She observes the figure as she draws the binoculars. It's moving closer...

Alphys's Lab

Alphys hears the doorbell after cleaning her lab and installing the anti-teleportation devices.

"W-whoa... that's quite a tall order, but I'll get to it!" She goes upstairs to pack her things and comes back down. "Take me to the venue right now so I can help set them up with Mettaton!"

Mew Mew then suggests inviting 6k1 and friends.

"While I'm not her tribute, she really is a good friend of mine! But she's way too busy with work. If she can't be here in person, maybe I can have the concert livestreamed to her place!"

Magolor is lazing on the Lor, while Susie tries to send a message to 6k1.

"So, madam. I heard from Magolor that some kid called Ness is going to participate. What do you know about him, anyway?"

Susie then sends this message. She then asks Magolor, who is chilling with Ribey, something.

"Hey, haven't you noticed that Ribey didn't speak a lot these days?"

6k1 replies: I suggest you ask Dave about him, since he knows him and his friends more than I do.

She then thinks of Ribey. Doesn't her nominator love sending her to the Arena just to watch her die in ridiculous ways?

District 12

Ichigo squints to try getting a better look at whoever this newcomer might be.

District 12, Lake

Power summons her binoculars and peers through them.

"It's Twilight!" she says to Ichi. "I said to 6k1 that she didn't need to send her tribute over, but she did so anyway!"

She watches the alicorn row her boat to the dock. Twilight anchors it and steps out to greet them.

District 12

"Oh?"

Ichigo raises an eyebrow when the mystery arrival is revealed to be Twilight.

"6k1 never told me that she planned on having us chaperoned. I swear, she might actually be Batman's long-lost daughter..." he says. "So, Twilight, why did she send you here? Power and I are just relaxing by a lake, not attempting to storm Snow's mansion and kill him all by ourselves."

"I was busy preparing for my succession as ruler of Equestria when I received 6k1's letter. She was afraid that something like the Hydra might attack you there, so I came here right away."

Power laughs. "6k1's just like you when she worries about her friends!"

"Hey, I've gotten over that already! Anyway, what have you been up to?"

District 12

"We're just in District 12, though, not the freakin' Voidlands. The odds of a monster coming outta nowhere to attack us seem... low. 'Sides, I've got the jet that I flew here and a highly-skilled mercenary on speed dial..."

Ichigo sighs as he rubs his forehead. He knew 6k1 liked being prepared and most likely had his best interests at heart, but this struck him as unnecessary and just a tad paranoid. He'd talk to her about this the first chance he got.

"Anyway, we've been chilling by this here lake, blowing bubbles, talking about things like uniquely-written fanfiction... all in all, making a dream that Power had last night a reality."

Checking the Database

Bale saw everyone else's approval and opened up his files on Villainous Organizations. He selected one of the files.

Bale: Alright, let's see here. Okay, first, we've got Dai-Shocker, an organization of villains from the Kamen Rider Multiverse. Composed mostly by cyborgs, mid-class demons, evil mutants and aliens

He opened another file to reveal another one.

Bale: There's also Black Hat Organization, currently associated with the Legion of Doom, apparently responsible for helping out villains from various CN series... Wait, what is that?

Bale then saw a mysterious file he didn't remember before, he tried to open it, but the file glitched out and forced him to close his laptop.

Bale: Crap. I hate it when this happens, just give me a few minutes, guys, I don't know what just happened.

District 12, Lake

"Aww, Luna would be so happy to hear about that! And did you just say... fanfics?"

Twilight opens her saddlebags and retrieves a book much thicker than Power's. On the cover is herself as a filly, getting ready for school.

District 12

"Huh... I never knew you, of all ponies, were actually into reading fanfics," Ichigo says.

Twilight giggles.

"While professionally written stories are my favorite, I sometimes indulge myself in how people from your world portray us," she says to Ichi. "This is about my foalhood adventures in school... or how the author imagined them as such."

She skims the pages over for Ichi and Power to see. The author also provided their own illustrations for the story.

District 12

Ichigo reads through the fic with Power, letting out a low whistle at the author's artwork.

"Not bad, not bad at all... how accurate would you say this particular fic is to your actual childhood?"

"Not accurate at all. For one thing, my class wasn't that big, and my classmates and teachers weren't... mean, to say the least. I'm flattered that my school was depicted as a Marey Trotter-style boarding school, though."

She also adds that Celestia didn't cast a magic dampener on her and simply guided her the best she could.

"Whoa... when was that written, by the way?" asks Power.

Twilight flips to the book's publication page. "Long before my brother got married. There were going to be more books detailing my entire school life, but the author cancelled them when they found out about that."

District 12

"Well, if nothing else, the author was certainly... imaginative, to say the very least," Ichigo says.

At the top of a mountain near Kirby's, inside a large base, Zan Partizanne watches the tributes that are leaving for the Voidlands on a monitor.

Back in the Lor, Magolor is researching some other tributes with Susie. They then look at the Arena and the chosen tributes for this season.

"Wait, is that another Ness?"

"That's someone who saved the world before Ness did."

"So he's the original Ness?"

"Yup!"

"So why did Ness gets to Smash Bros and not him, the original Ness?"

"He's not really popular."

"Being him must be terrible."

"Anyway, didn't i have heard that some nominators are going to the Voidlands right now?"

Magolor then messages 6k1, asking her about the Nominators that are leaving to the Voidlands.

"That, I agree with," replies Twilight.

"Speaking of your school adventures, I subscribed to a comic series called Twilight's First Day!" says Power. "It's delivered to my doorstep every update, and it's much more lighthearted than that fanfic!"

The Database Library, Basement

6k1 replies: Psyche also said that she's going, but again, there might be more that I'm not aware of!

She emails her about her fellow travelers, and after she replies, 6k1 relays them back to Magolor.

Floating in outer space, near planet earth, a strange, pure white palace-like structure floats and rockets through the space, overseeing planet earth.

Inside, Ness, Paula, Jeff, Poo, and Bandana Waddle Dee are walking through a pristine, beautiful hallway until they reach a door. Inside is a room, with a transparent glasslike material on the wall behind, showing a beautiful view of Earth. And inside the room is a table where an adorable, cubical white creature with goggles and angelic wings◊ sits on a throne, looking at the current season. This creature is the Nominator of these tributes, as well as a variety of tributes from the OG and today's seasons,

"So, Oggy, or Mr. Star, as you prefer it, i'm ready for this season."

"Excellent! I'm not sure when this season starts, but you should be ready."

"Mr. Star, has you introduced yourself to the other nominators?"

"No, i'm rather shy, but i could try talking to some."

"Good luck, Mr. Star!"

Mr. Star, or Oggy, then looks at his monitor, which he then uses to send a video message to 6k1, his ally Magolor's talking buddy.

"Hey there Miss Manager! I'm a nominator too! I'm the one nominating the Chosen Four and Bandana Dee this season! Are you having a good time?"

He then sends it.

Meanwhile, Kirby flies above the Arena on his Warp Star. As he flies around District 12, he sees the two ponies and person talking to each other. Kirby then stops to say hi to them.

6k1 records a video message back to Oggy: "Hey there! I've always wondered where you were, especially in the Nominator Games! The next one's pretty far off, so it's best to make new friends until that time!"

District 12, Lake

Power notices Kirby flying in the sky and points Ichi and Twilight to him. Twilight looks up and waves.

Quick Analysis

Bale repaired his laptop but still couldn't look up the new file, he was frustrated.

Bale: Whoever assaulted my base must've tampered with my things, they don't want me to find out about them.

He turned to the other nominators and told them a few things.

Bale: Perhaps we could go after Black Hat Organization's HQ, trash the place a bit, y'know. What did you all think about it?
