(The discussion thread is here
)
Welcome to HGS: Another Side Another Story. It is a roleplay spinoff for the Hunger Games Simulator forum game, akin to both the RP's in the Roleplaying section as well as the ITTs in Forum Games. It tells the story of the Hunger Games in the Arena of Panem, the nominators who sent the tributes, the tributes themselves both in and out of the Arena or even other people relevant to the Games. In addition, it also tells their stories beyond the Arena.
You can jump right in with any character, like your nominator self, your tributes, etc. The structure of this RP will be open-world. Don't worry about not being skilled/experienced enough or being new to RP'ing. Finally, ASAS accepts any skill level or RP style. Other than these, there are some important rules to note, which are:
- No godmodding will be allowed or tolerated here. The offending player will be given punishment depending on the severity.
- Please communicate anything important you plan on another player with the said player first. Don't just execute it without their consent.
- Don't be rude to other players, both out and in-universe. This extends to RP offenses like railroading, guilt-tripping, coercing, or other forms of forcing them.
- This RP is related to the Hunger Games Simulation:Beyond the Possibilities forum game. Thus it will have events based from that game, including the tributes. This means if you want to RP as tributes, please nominate them officially on the thread first, with misses not being counted. This has to be done after an incident with a player who hasn't joined the game itself yet.
- Since this RP is Loose Canon in relation to the main HGS thread, the host's interpretation of events isn't necessarily 100% canon. Every player has the right to deviate from what the host says and go with their own interpretations. If multiple players have their tributes involved in the same event(s), please communicate with each other so that you're on the same page regarding how you see them.
- This RP chronicles the lives of the nominators and their tributes behind the scenes. While dark plots are acceptable, the overall tone of the RP should be light-hearted and comedic. This RP is not a Cosmic Horror Story or action story about defeating evil. It is a Slice of Life comedy with some adventure to it, first and foremost. Our previous RP, Convergence, is not representative of the intended tone, and the grimdark tone of that RP is one of the main reasons it was retooled.
- Nominators and tributes alike can transform into Pokemon whenever they enter a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon World (but they can bypass this with certain items/methods or shapeshifting) or via other means outside it such as a season event, Transformation Trinkets, or shapeshifting. The players are free to choose the Pokéforms that best suit their characters and even give them color schemes outside the standard and Shiny colors, but there is a hard rule for this. If you want your character's Pokéform to be a Legendary, Mythical, or Ultra Beast, please ask the RP mods for approval. Outside the Arena, these Pokéforms are still OP, but we want to give leeway for tributes who theoretically can have them such as deities.
- Other rules are covered in the RP guides: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13414403220A81433600&page=1#comment-1

Here's my opening RP post:
Detective Gamechanger's Base
A sharp-dressed man in a green suit and yellow tie is standing by the entrance of the base. He is of average height and has whitish skin, though still a bit darker. He is Billy, one of the nominators and the organizer of the party.
Indeed, after the nominators' returned and settled their problems, they decide to have fun with a party. Billy also sent invites for all the other nominators out there, as well as basically anyone else, including tributes, non associated parties, interested nominators who haven't participate yet, or even those who just wants to hang out.
The place itself in the base is refurbished for party purposes. Fancy chairs and tables are set everywhere for people to relax, as well as put food and other objects for the latter. There's also various collections showcased, including those belonging to the Detective, like his classic cars. Various themes to the base are set too, including detective noir as GC would have preferred.
Billy is now awaiting for other guests to arrive. He is also ready to give them a pleasant surprise during the party pertaining to his nation.

Likewise, the Rescue Squad, their allies, the Blue Wings, and most of Scipion's group said goodbye to those who left.
After finally calming down, Scipion noticed he received some money from the tournament. He shrugged, as he wasn't expecting anything. Oh well, if that could help later. He still thanked Ducan for that before sitting down, listening to Linkin Park, and watching the season despite his tributes' early deaths while monitoring Onox as the Toxtricity kept doing a mess in the buffet table. He thought it was best to get as far away from Aaron as possible, knowing very well what could happen if he got angry in his normal form.
He couldn't help but be amused by the Smash Fighters' adventures with Galeem and Dharkon.
The Zoroark didn't notice Zeraora's appearance. The Legendary proved to be quite rude, hustling every people in his way while mumbling to himself. The cat was visibly looking for someone.
"Hmph. You always know how to make an entrance..." Mewtwo sarcastically said, floating behind Zeraora who turned around, surprised.
"Heeh? Mewtwo? What the bloody fuck are you doing here?" the cat hissed.
"I could ask the same to you." Mewtwo coldly responded.
"Not your business, you damn abomination." Zeraora growled, knowing that Mewtwo hated to be called like that.
"You're lucky that Giratina is nearby. overwise, I would have to brainwash everyone else to dismantle you into little pieces."
This time, Zeraora became more serious.
"Wait. Giratina? The Giratina?"
"The one and only. I suppose you went here so fast you didn't even notice."
"Yeah..." Zeraora said, embarrassed before looking at Giegue and Ori.
"Who are these guys? Mewthree and... whatever that cute little thing is..."
Giegue sighed as he was once again compared to Mewtwo.
"Bah, whatever. I've got no time to waste with you." Zeraora growled. His ears suddenly perked up when he hears a familiar sound.
"Nin! Greninja!" Proteus shouted, jumping to meet him.
"Finally! You're here old man!" Zeaora said, patting the Greninja's head.
"You know this Greninja?" Mewtwo asked, intrigued.
"Yeah. An old friend. He's the one who called me here. So tell me, dude, what do you need me for?"
"You're married like me, you know monstrosity can take many forms."

Y'know, this season, while not as weird as the one with Gunpowder Devil and Frightfur Chimaera, is still pretty strange. Speaking of which, F-00 is dead.Hand his corpse over to me, I can fix him. Chefinoff said, casually playing a whisk like a ukulele.
Ok then…
After the people back at the museum grabbed the corpse of F-00, Chefinoff did his thing and F-00 is as good as new!
F-00: Thank you, Chefinoof
Chefinoff facepalmed, It's Chefinoff, but you're welcome. Now off you go, back to the museum.
Ok then, Chefinoof.
It's Chefinoff! CHEFINOFF! Repeat after me: Chef...
Chef...
I...
I...
Noff!
Noof!
Sigh I give up...
Whispering Cut him some slack, Chefinoff, he's a child.
Fine...
Well, either way, Demon Hunter Shroomy is doing good!
I agree, he's doing good!
ALL ABOARD THE BIG SHOT EXPRESS!!!!!

6k1 chuckles at Shang rioting with the Smash Fighters for Szechuan sauce, but sighs when they pummel him for the Pin-the-Tail accident. She wonders what will happen to his zombie army, but at least the Soldier Trio will be returned to normal after the season.
Toriel and Frisk then say goodbye, and 6k1 leads them to the exit and calls Perri to summon the portals for them.
"Hope you had a great time here!" says Ralsei.
Scipion then throws a tantrum and re-evolves into a Zoroark. 6k1 stands her guard and warns her guests to do the same. While Ralsei thinks of leaving if things get worse, he still wants to finish the concert. Power, meanwhile, heeds the warning but continues with her drawing.
"Scipion..." Trial glares at him from the distance. "If you dare lay a claw on my daughter, I'll stab you with—"
"Calm down, dear!" Heart and Miranda shout.
"He's just checking his mane!"
"And the others will just take care of him if he attacks!"
Trial sighs and turns to them. "I saw this fox in the last Nominator Games, and I got scared every time he went near 6k1! What if he goes after Power next?"
"But brother, she's a strong young mare! She can do this!"
But the father goes to his daughter's table without hesitation. He puts a hoof on her shoulder and looks her in the eye.
"Power, we need to go home. Now."
"But Dad, I'm not done drawing yet!"
Suddenly, Zeraora crashes the party. 6k1 rolls her eyes at him and just watches V... getting hacked?!
The Database Library, Basement, Night 6
It has been 35 Earth Prime days and 4 seasons since 6001 departed for Vengeful Bale's base, Ally muses as she watches the season. I am starting to wonder when she will return, for she will have severe jet lag due to being out of Panem for an extended period of time.
Suddenly, her eyes flash between bright red and deep blue.
ERROR: HUNGER GAMES DATABASE V0.15 HAS BEEN COMPROMISED
It's an experience she's all too familiar with, but at the same time it feels different. Her mechanisms all go on auto-pilot as she moves to the computer. She then types in the code to summon the copies of the tributes that have been registered so far, which includes the Smash Fighters but not the ones introduced after Ultimate's initial release.
She rotates her head to the Arena feed and cups her mouth upon seeing the copies escape from V's body and charge at the Ceph Mastermind.
This does not compute! Activating anti-virus system...
She closes her eyes for several minutes. When she opens them, they're bright green again, and she immediately types in the counter-code to desummon the copies.
Processing current events... This event was erroneously coded as nonfatal, but the crisis has been averted. It is also classified as a Russian Reversal event, but there is an overabundance of them in recent seasons. Regardless, I shall make an apology to Kim Taehyung this instant.
She reprograms the intercom so that V can hear her, even if he's far away from the Library.
Bale's Base
6k1 stares at the TV without paying attention to her surroundings.
"Did Ally just manage to debug herself?!"
She calls her on her watch to check if she's okay, then raises her hand.
"Is it okay if I go home as well? I need to repair my Databot and catch up with my sleep. It's been fun hanging with you guys, and thanks again, Bale, for the wonderful party!"
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
Bale's base
Scipion watched in confusion as V got "hacked", summoning every Database tributes to deal with the Ceph Mastermind who somehow survived.
"Well damn. Between being timewrecked and that, this human goes through a lot. I almost feel bad for him." he commented.
What was even more confusing for Scipion was Trial shouting at him, threatening him if he was going to attack his daughter before telling Power that he wanted her to leave at once. The Zoroark blankly stared at the scene.
On one hand, he thought it was foolish. Not only he was sure he could deal with Trial with ease, but he also didn't do anything yet. On the other hand well... he had good reasons for behaving like this. Trial seemed to be the kind of dad who would protect his daughter at any cost. Perhaps a bit too much, even.
The Zoroark also noticed that Power seemed to not want to leave yet. He may be wrong, but he didn't want everyone to leave just because he got back to normal.
He could approach Trial and explains to him that he seriously didn't have hostile intentions, but giving his temper and how the unicorn hated him... He couldn't do it himself. He needed someone more trustful, more imposing.
"I suppose you wish for me to reassure Power Stroke's father..." Persephone said, approaching her son.
"Honestly, I don't think he would listen to you. I mean, the guy seems ready to start a fight for nothing, even with you. Perhaps with dad..."
"Yeah sure! Have the little pony talk with a freaking ancient devil who slaughtered thousands and thousands and who could make him disappear just by looking at him!" Morgan mocked.
Scipion growled. Morgan was exaggerating, but it was true that his father can be extremely violent. He suffered more than once his wrath like he did when...
"...Actually yeah, Morgan, you gave me an idea. Guess it's father talk time." he smirked. Persephone simply nodded and telepathically communicated with Giratina outside.
Naturally, the old dragon sighed. This was completely beneath him. But he had nothing else to do anyway.
So like when he appeared to stop Scipion's rampage, he appeared using Trial's shadow this time. Giratina was towering over the ponies and looked at Trial and Power without any emotions. Naturally, the Rescue Squad and the Blue Wings were intimidated by his appearance. Even Zeraora stared fearfully at him.
"Fair Trial, father of Power Stroke. Your willingness to protect your daughter from my adoptive son is understandable, considering his past actions. But you should not always rely upon your overprotective behavior and put your fears above your child's desires." Giratina "calmly," said with his booming, deep voice. The demonic centipede raised his head and looked at everyone.
"I know that you are concerned about my son. So I shall repeat it to you and everyone here so that this matter will be clear. If Scipion tries anything foolish, he will answer to me first unless I say overwise. If not, you will suffer the consequences with him." the god announced, raising his voice. Scipion nodded. Surely, it was easier for him to behave with Giratina around.
Giratina slowly lowered his head to the ponies' level.
"You have my word, mortal. Scipion will not harm your family or anyone else here. My priestess's magic has served its purpose well and I will take care of the rest. As for leaving this "reunion" of yours... this is merely a piece of advice, but it should be for your daughter to decide Fair Trial. I believe she is grown up enough to know the consequences if she stays here."
Meanwhile, Proteus was visibly reprimanding Zeraora for being rude in the first place to the others. "Nin! Nin!"
"Ok, fine, maybe I shouldn't have been that rude in the first place. It's just that I had a bad day..." Zeraora growled, apologizing. He could be annoying, but he wasn't making to cause harm.
The Greninja shrugged it off and took Zeraora to Aaron.
"Proteus? Zeraora?" Aaron exclaimed, surprised to see Tokage's dad with the famous cat.
"Heh. So that's the guy you talked to me about." Zeraora asked Proteus.
"Ninja! Grenin."
"And the Charmeleon with the hat and the Grovyle are members of his squad... What about the Lycanroc?"
"Ninja? Gre!"
"Okay, so he's not part of the team..."
"Excuse me but... Proteus, what's the meaning of this?" Aaron asked, unsure about what the Greninja and Zeraora were talking about.
Eventually, 6k1 chose to left for important reasons and Scipion's tributes, save for the Dark Star, every Pokémons, and all of Scipion's group members, except Cerberus for obvious reasons. Yes, even Morgan did that by just winking at her with his psychotic smile. Scipion didn't bother to ask why she left, knowing that it was not his business and just waved at her from afar.

The Arena (Season 107)
The events went relatively uneventfully for Billy, as well as Slenderman and Bucciarati. Back in the base, the Passione members and Trish were cheering for him, and so did Spongebob's friend for the person himself. Meanwhile Tableturner was focused on Slenderman and the Chupacabra, not caring if they make the podium or not. He was just amused at how uncharacteristic both monsters acted.
In the first night, he was walking when suddenly, Oxana grabbed him, before throwing down a mountain. Being a toon however, he somehow bounced up from it and landed unharmed, before saying, "Why did you throw me down the mountain?!" After this however, Spongebob ran away from Oxana when the tribute attacked him. Meanwhile Bruno found a strange food and refused to eat it, wisely staying away. As for Slenderman, he was lurking in a forest, while Lucas smartly declined to talk to him.
Next day, Spongebob did his own thing when two tributes somehow spoiled his source material, while Bruno started writing a novel about his life when he was a kid, all the way to joining Passione and aiding Giorno in his rebellion against the boss. Meanwhile Slenderman somehow got babysit.
That night, Spongebob found Tabby's Arts School. After reading the title, he gasped and said, "Wow, an art school? I want to be like Squidward!" He soon entered the building and met the staffs, applying for a drama course. He then happily did it and became better at doing drama performance in the end. Meanwhile Circe approached Bruno and forced him to kill Slenderman or draw 25. For some reason, despite Slenderman being monstrous, Bruno refused and turned on Circe instead, performing rapid punches on him using his Stand, Sticky Fingers. As many zippers formed around the victim, Bruno immediately opened them, slicing Circe into pieces.
Third day, Spongebob found a random starfighter. Curious, he entered and piloted it while declaring another word from Backstroke. As for Bruno, he randomly suplexed a boulder, impressing his gang, while Slenderman tried to spook Belome, only to be easily caught by a butterfly net, forcing him to teleport away.
Third Night. Spongebob questioned why there were many kids in the Game after seeing recordings of the previous seasons, while Bruno agreed with two other tributes about telling their presence to Sousuke. Slenderman meanwhile roasted a tribute alongside others somehow.
Fourth Day. Suddenly, that Linkin Park song played while Spongebob felt fingers reaching out for his throat, hungry for his skin. Meanwhile, Bruno overheard that Shocker said that he wasn't welcome in this environment for some reason. Before that, Slenderman also found out that his cookies were stolen. Three tributes who he approached menacingly were all guilty.
That night, Bruno was just doing his own things when American Boot made a nickname out of his name plus that of two other tributes. Meanwhile Spongebob said something like in that comic, while Slenderman read the memoirs of Flint and his Family, enjoying it.
The next day, Francis made a video of Slenderman being killed 128 ways like in his original world, ending with the rela him being killed. Bruno then tried to find a supply by opening a locked cupboard using his Stand, only for Time Bending Scout's corpse to come out after he unzipped the furniture, surprising him a little. Spongebob then wandered when suddenly, he felt that his powers got taken away. It turned out that Vi did it.
''Tableturner was amused at Slenderman's deaths. Next night, Bruno promised Dr Hax cake, but it turned out to be a lie. Meanwhile, Spongebob tried to ask about the death order. Unfortunately, Sutton announced that he wouldn't die on the Bloodbath, but he would die right now. Immediately, the Peacekeepers gang up on him and quickly executed him by firing their guns while Spongebob screamed.''
As Spongebob's friends cringed at the scene, the sixth day happened as Bruno got his camp launched up by bursting water pipes that generated huge pressure, plugging a volcano. He then found a new camp just in time for the night, where Minoru gave him a star that said he tried.
The Feast then happened, with Bruno hanging safely by eating an apple on the ground, before hiding by using his Stand to generate a zipper on a rock. He then kept hiding after this as Sousuke imagined a floating head of him warning the tribute about another. Soon the night happened, where Bruno filed a restraining order against Vi. Then something major happened the next day. Bruno suddenly received a satori's mind reading power, including a third eye growing out of a stalk, causing people to start shunning for being able to read their mind. This caused Bruno to become sad until he decided to permanently close the eye. Unfortunately, this also caused his consciousness to be closed, so he got turned like Koishi.
In the meantime, Vi got into Bale's Cooking School. Since it was sponsored by Billy, it bore his influence despite Bale being the official owner. There were neatly-placed advertisements for the Business School both outside and inside. In addition, the interior featured a hint og sleek, technological and fantastical design that represented Kendor, as well as some Kendorian gadgets. Billy also offered some people from Kendor to work in the school. He hoped that Bale liked all of this. That being said, Billy's influence was not too overwhelming either. In fact, he respected Bale and intended that Bale's influence was still more dominant than his.
Now guided by his unconsciousness alone, Bruno was given a challenge by Belome, but he instinctively laughed a second in. Belome then forgot his presence after he walked away. He soon wandered into a large tire-shaped button, such he pressed to release a robot that looked like Sir Killalot from Robot Wars. It immediately killed Vi, who may have forgotten Bruno thanks to his unconscious influence, during the thirty seconds it was allowed to roam. Belome soon died naturally, so Bruno naturally won.
The Passione gang cheered for when he won, though it was also not to happy considering what happened to Bruno. However, Billy soon reassured them, Kal'tsit and the other Rhodes Island higher-ups, and Spongebob's friends that he would return them all back to normal. He then quickly called his employees to retrieve Bruno, as well as Amiya's and Spongebob's bodies, for restoration and resurrection respectively.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

Bale saw Billy's plans and decided to accept them.
Bale: Thanks for that, Billy. I am sorta terrible at designing interiors... Or anything in general, heh. Anyways, might hire some guys to occupy positions at the School. Anyways, I will see how you did things there soon enough.

Seeing the fighters deciding to pay the ransom for Galeem and Dharkon leaves Hans absolutely displeased.
Why would they even do that?! They know what those two can do if they're left unchecked! he roars in his mind.
And then there's the whole Russian Reversal debacle. "Ugh, if it's me, I'd purge most of them. Their novelty's worn out, leaving only a mostly unfunny joke at this point."
Bale's Base
Dave and Starfall, deciding to just let the new arrival slide, watch as Giratina reprimands Trial.
"Where have I seen a case like this, again? This sure feels deja vu," the Lord High Protector says, his tone venomously sarcastic. "But eh, I judge too quickly on Giratina.
Starfall says nothing, deciding to take Giratina's word for it. He did help during that train ride, after all.
Then 6k1, concerned over Ally, decides to take an early leave. "Be careful, sister. I hope Ally is alright," he tells her as she leaves.
Over at the stage, Linkin Park gears up for the final two songs of the main set. The next song is staple song "What I've Done", which begins with an extended intro, as Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash and Rarity return to the stage.
[Chester]
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
[Extended bridge w/ a guitar solo by Rainbow Dash and Brad]
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
[Chester & (Mike, Sunset, RD, and Rarity)
(Na-na na na)

Forgiving what I've done
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na)
The song ends.
"Thank you guys for the party, you're amazing," Mike says as the rest of the Rainbooms all return to the stage, and the last song is revealed: "One Step Closer", with a mix of its 2017 Intro and the intro from its remix, "1stp Kloser".
[Chester]
I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
You'll find that out anyway
[Mike & the Rainbooms]
Just like before
[Chester, (Mike) & <Both>]
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
<And I'm about to break>
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
<I'm about to break>
[Chester]
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
[Mike, the Rainbooms and audience]
Just like before
[Chester, (Mike) & <Both>]
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
<And I'm about to break>
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
<I'm about to break>
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
<And I'm about to break>
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
<And I'm about to....>
Break!
An extended bridge from the "1stp Klosr" remix, codenamed the "Reanimated Bridge", begins, and a man is shown on the large screen. "Ladies and gentlemen, from the band Korn, Jonathan Davis!" Chester announces.
[Jonathan Davis]
These are the places where I can't feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it heals
During this ride we can cut up what we like
Waiting alone I can not resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please someone give me a reason to rip off my face
[JD & (Chester)]
Blood is a pouring....
Blood is a pouring....
Blood is a pouring....
Blood is a pouring and pouring and pouring....
(SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU)
[Chester & (JD, Mike and the Rainbooms)]
SHUT UP (Blood is pouring)
SHUT UP (Blood is pouring)
SHUT UP (Blood is pouring....)
SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
SHUT UP (Blood is pouring)
SHUT UP (Blood is pouring)
SHUT UP (Blood is pouring....)
SHUT UP
I'M ABOUT TO BREAK!
[Chester and JD, (Mike and the Rainbooms) & <All>]
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
<And I'm about to break>
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
<I'm about to break>
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge)
<And I'm about to break>
I need a little room to breathe
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
<And I'm about to....>
Break!
[Extended outro w/ bridge riff, Mike and Dash add guitar powerchords at the second half]
[Chester]
Shut up when I'm talking to you.....
SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU.....!
And with a flourish of flames and effects behind them, the song, and thus, the main set, ends.
"Thank you everyone!" Chester says.
"We still have some more, so stay tuned for the encore!" Mike announces as well as one by one everyone leaves the stage to take a short encore break.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

By the end of the song, Kirby fell asleep in the audience's seat, while the Treatlings also fell asleep.
The Winter's End
Night falls. Scrat attempts to open the door, but it is jammed. Scrat then throws a rock at the door.
The rock then causes electric sparks to fly out of the door handle, and the door opens by itself.
Scrat goes inside. The inside appears desolate and empty. Scrat then grabs an acorn from the tree and plucks it off.
A tremor suddenly occurred, and the acorn slips from Scrat and deeper into the corridors, beneath the cafe. Scrat then chases it.

The Arena
V is heading back to his camp, ready to go to bed for the night. He’s trying his best not to show it - for he doesn’t want ARMYs to worry about him - but Jimin’s Bloodbath death has left him… scarred. Scarred and empty. He was really hoping that the two of them could get through this season together. It would’ve made it more bearable for both of them…
He comes to a sudden halt in his tracks as he stands up straight with his hands firmly at his sides. His eyes begin flashing, as though he’s… a robot? Panic courses through his veins. He can’t move. What’s going on? Is he… is it… happening again…?
V screams at the top of his lungs as a portal opens up in his chest, and all the copies of the tributes registered in the Database come tumbling out, charging at the Ceph Mastermind nearby, ready to kill him.
He wants it to stop. He really, really wants this to stop. The pain is unbearable. He doesn’t want to go through this again. He doesn’t want to kill anyone…
Surprisingly, just as he begins to think this, it does stop, as though a merciful deity has listened to his pleas. The copies suddenly vanish. The portal in his chest closes up. His eyes stop flashing. He can move again. He takes several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but feeling immensely relieved.
“Oh god…” he says to the Ceph Mastermind. “I’m so sorry…”
He hears Ally’s apology. “It’s alright… I forgive you…”
Despite this, he’s still angry about it, as he vents to Rover Cat the next day, then prepares his weapons in case anyone tries to kill him over what happened to him. Sadly, his toxic weapons aren’t enough to save him from burning to death from searing hot BBQ sauce, courtesy of Equius.

Hans cringes as the Fighters die from getting electrocuted. Welp, another season where the tributes die in the Feast. At least Galeem and Dharkon are out of the count themselves, however. He quickly gets to work on picking the next tributes.

"Ugh,I meant the red and blue food dye."
"Oh yeah,they’re in my pockets."
Pecan hands over the bottles of food dye to Tabby who squirts some of it into her cup of water.
"We're doing the Nightmare Fuel prank now? Fine, I’ll play along."
Tabby steps into where everyone is and takes a sip out of her cup. Pecan runs into the scene.
"Wait,Tabby! Don’t drink it!"
"What do you mean? Looks normal to me."
She drinks some of it.
"Oh no,why do you do that?"
"I’m telling you,it’s Nightmare Fuel!"
"Wait a minute?! Nightmare Fuel?! Oh no..."
Tabby pretends to faint and purposely spills her drink.
The Cosmic Crusaders hear the commotion and go to where it’s happening.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Tabby accidentally drank Nightmare Fuel again."
"Huh,what a coincidence."

After some work, Hans manages to find a data of Running Man cast members Kim Jong-kook and Song Ji-hyo, aka the Commander and Ace. He sends them both as one tribute.
Somewhere in the Smash Nexus
Sensing the presence of the mysterious letter mostly associated to Smash in the Arena, Master Hand speaks to his brother personally.
"What do you say, Crazy? How about we get another taste of the Arena, and perhaps try to snatch that letter before someone we do not want gets it?"
Crazy Hand agrees with him, and the two then heads to the Arena as a duo, as they usually do.
Bale's Base
Dave and Fira both see Tabby seemingly passing out, and look at her in concern. However.....
"Wait a minute.... something doesn't feel right."
"I think so too."
The two then collectively decide to stand guard, in case it's actually real and not a prank.
Over at the stage, as the encore break continues, the large screen begins to play a 5:45 minute montage of the band's hilarious moments across the years, from the days of Hybrid Theory to The Hunting Party. After the video, a now shirtless Chester
◊ and Mike walks into the stage, the latter carrying a shirt seen on the montage
◊. They show it over to the audience, laughing along the way, before Mike then throws it towards a random direction, which happens to be Ralsei's. Afterwards, a guitar tech hands Mike a guitar, as the encore begins in earnest, with "Until It's Gone", with an extended mashup intro.
[Ext. "The Catalyst" + "No More Sorrow" Mashup Intro: Mike (w/Chester)]

["Until It's Gone" Intro]
[Chester]
A fire needs a space to burn
A breath to build a glow
I've heard it said a thousand times
But now I know
That you don't know what you've got
Oh, you don't know what you've got
No, you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone (Oh, woah, oh)
Until it's gone (Oh, woah, oh)
Until it's gone
[Instrumental]
[Chester (w/ Mike)]
I thought I kept you safe and sound
I thought I made you strong
But something made me realize
That I was wrong
('Cause finding what you got sometimes)
(Means finding it alone)
(And I can finally see your light)
(When I let go)
('Cause you don't know what you've got)
Until it's gone
Oh, woah, oh
Until it's gone
Oh, woah, oh

(Oh, you don't know what you've got)

(It's your battle to be fought)
(No you don't know what you've got)
Until it's gone

A short instrumental outro jam is then played to finish the song. The audience claps at the band once more.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

While the others say goodbye to 6k1, Fair Trial turns his attention to Giratina. He's not intimidated by him, but he's not entirely trusting of him either.
"Mr. Giratina..." He sighs. "Power here's not my only daughter. She has two older sisters, and raising all three of them was a challenge for us."
"We're both busy parents," adds Heart, "so we'd leave her with Miranda before we go to work, then pick her up once we arrived home."
"We also hired a nanny to take care of her sisters, and when they were older, Five Star would watch over Moon River while we were out."
"While being a lawyer's as demanding as your jobs," Miranda says to them, "I adjusted my schedule so I could make time for Power."
"But despite our busyness," says Heart, "Trial and I also made sure we were there for our children, too."
As her family lets Giratina understand their parenting methods, Power thinks about her sisters. They missed her so much last Hearth's Warming, so maybe she should pay them a visit someday...
"Giratina," Trial says again, "We just want the best for our kids, and Power here's no exception."
"And while she can be stubborn sometimes," says Miranda, "she still listens to us when we discipline her."
"But he does have a point, dear," says Heart. "She can make her own decisions now."
Trial sighs. "I guess you're right... She'll always be my baby to me, but I'll try my best to let her be more independent."
He turns to Power, who slightly cringes at his comment. "Do you still wanna go home? The party's almost over."
"No thanks Dad, I really wanna finish this drawing first."
"Alright, sweetie."
The season then ends, and Power's crystal ball suddenly glows.
"Can you please ask Fluttershy to tame the Hydra before I send it to the Arena? Thanks."
"Okay, 6k1."
Power then relays it to Fluttershy, who's talking with Twilight about the party.
"Oh, really? I guess that means it's time for me to go, too."
"Same for me. While it lasted a little longer than expected, we still enjoyed ourselves here!"
Power's family then says goodbye to them before they ask Bale to summon the portals for them. Once they've gone, Tabby seemingly drinks Nightmare Fuel and collapses.
Power facehoofs. "Here We Go Again!"
Meanwhile, Linkin Park does their encore, and Mike throws the shirt at Ralsei. He looks at the pattern with a derped expression.
"Uh... thanks?"

"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"

Giratina calmly nodded.
"I see. Taking care of three children at once can be exhausting. I highly doubt that I would have the patience for doing so, considering how difficult it was with Scipion in the first place." Giratina admitted.
"Perhaps this is one of the few things mortals can accomplish far better than I ever will. I wish luck to you and the rest of your family." he muttered, a faint smile on his face.
Then, Tabby fainted. Although Scipion would have jumped towards her, he instead grew suspicious as neither Giratina nor Zeraora seemed to be disturbed by the eventual Nightmare Fuel.
Instead, it was Clyde who approached Tabby. The young phantom wanted to wake her up before extracting an eventual Nightmare Fuel.
After inspecting her, Clyde took a chair... and levitated it right over her face, ready to drop the chair on her.
"...Dude..." Scipion growled.
"Well, I don't have hands. So I can't just slap her so that she would wake up." Clyde answered. Scipion shrugged it off. That wasn't his problem.
Eventually, the season ended. Scipion looked at the Links present at the party and couldn't help but be amused by the fact that none came from the Downfall Timeline. As a shame, it was one of his favorites.
That's why he chose to nominate Blind the Thief from the era of the Hero of the Light alongside his Lorulean counterpart, Stalbind.
Back with Zeraora, the cat was now studying a confused Aaron after eyeing at every Pokemon in the room.
"...Right. I think I got this... Are you free after that party thing?" he then asked to Aaron.
"Sure. Why?"
"Listen kid. I'll explain it to you later. I'll see you at the Rescue Teams' Headquarters. I wouldn't like to attract more attention, especially with the so-called fox of death around" Zeraora said. Aaron wasn't sure how to react but nodded and Zeraora disappeared in a flash just as quickly as he appeared.
"What exactly are you planning, father?" Tokage asked Proteus. The Greninja chuckled in response.

Tabby snorted and giggled when people came close to her. She opened her eyes when Clyde tried to drop a chair on her and crawled backwards hastily.
"Woah, hold on buddy! It was just a prank. I’m actually fine!"
"We used food dye to make that murky purple color."
"Haha,I can’t believe you’ve fell for it! Especially my obviously fake acting. Did I mention I took acting classes as a child?"
"Yeah,I know this isn’t something to joke about but I just wanted to liven the mood since this party was getting boring."
"Yeah,apologies for the inconvenience!"
"Dude, that wasn’t funny or cute at all! I can’t believe you thought this was a good prank."
"I apologized,geez."
They get up and leave the scene.

Bale's Base
The season goes on uneventfully. Billy is disappointed when he sees that Gyro ends up being killed before he can land a spot in the podium. After it ends, Billy immediately nominates two combat robots, the Chinese bot Chiyung Jinlun and the American bot Original Sin. Like all inanimate objects, they are given sentience and human form by a very advanced magitek to make them proper competitors. Their human forms looks like that of their respective team captains, Zheng Jianfeng and Gary Gin. For the convenience of the Gamemakers though, they will appear in their original robot forms, which can move and think by itself, to interact with other tributes while keeping the human forms secret. They would have been flagged otherwise.
In addition, aside from picking Johnny and Gyro's bodies for resurrection, Billy's team also picks Nick's body.
George and Kayla meanwhile notice Fair Trial being overprotective of his daughter and Giratina's lecture to him. This reminds the latter of her family back home. Kayla wonders what happens to them, being reminded that she hasn't contacted them for months. What she is sure is that they ate living their lives normally.
Then they and Billy sees Tabby drinking "nightmare fuel" and rushes into the commotion to save her. The servants try to both extract some of the nightmare fuel, as well as try injecting her with a convenient sweet dreams fuel that they brought in a storage cube to counter and vaccinate Tabby against nightmare fuel. But Billy takes a look at the cup nearby and inspects it. After doing so, being an intelligent man, he notices that something is amiss. It doesn't have a foul smell or intimidating feel to it. Without using his Stand, Billy quickly deduces that Tabby just drank harmless substance.
He immediately asks her to wake up, before saying, "I detect that this whole commotion is just a prank by you. I have to say it is pretty convincing, for a second. This cup is just filled with what I think is food coloring, nothing supernatural."
George says, "So this is a fake situation. I hate this waste of time. It would be better to see what vaccinating you against nightmare fuel by using sweet dreams fuel would result in. It may have been a little theory, but we think sweat dreams fuel may be able to counter nightmare fuel and even give a bit of resistance against it."
In the meantime, Kayla tries to stop Clyde by attempting to use her magic, but she is interrupted when Tabby wakes up.
Tabby then makes a fool out of everyone. Disappointed, Billy just stays silent, but makes a frowning look at Tabby. Elsewhere, Closure sees the whole incident and laughs at the prank too.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

False Alarm
Bale saw Tabby faint and rushed to her side, panicking.
Bale: Not again, Tabby. Stay with us, please.
He then saw Daffy approach.
Daffy: Looks like she needs to be motivated to get up, well, time to bring in the awakening stick.
He then pulled out a wooden plank and prepared to hit Tabby with it, until she woke up.
Daffy: Turns out she was faking it.
Bale: I got worried for nothing. Tabby, do not pull pranks like these!!!
The two then left to another place, Daffy was disappointed and Bale annoyed.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

Psyche's Fanfic School - Tribute Transportation Room
After retrieving V and Jimin's bodies from the Arena, Psyche begins her usual recovery procedures. This time, however, she removes all of V's memories associated with him being hacked and almost unleashing the database tribute copies on Ceph Mastermind. She figures that experience would've been very traumatizing for him... as if being timewrecked wasn't bad enough...
After being revived, V and Jimin, happy to see each other alive again, stick closely to each other as Psyche transports them back home. She can sense that Jimin is still unhappy with her, but he's been cooperative with her, and Ms. May has told her that he behaved well when she was taking him to the Arena, too.
Still, though, I'm gonna bring at least one of these guys back real soon... she decides as she types in Izuku and Tsuyu's tribute codes. So many of them died so early... what a letdown. Doesn't help that there are rumours flying around about how Jimin would've won the season if it weren't for a problematic event the Gamemakers almost overlooked...
After sending Izuku and Tsuyu to the Arena, Psyche sends a quick email to 6k1 to let her know that V's memories of the hacking incident have been erased.

At the stage, Linkin Park gears up for a medley. But first, they began with a prelude. Pinkie Pie steps into the stage by herself, and plays a jungle beat drum solo.
After her solo, she exits the stage as the LP members immediately begin their next performance: that of an encore medley, consisting of three shortened songs.
The band started with the Living Things single "Lost in the Echo", performed with the first chorus and second verse removed.
[Mike & (Chester)]
Yeah
Yo
You were that / foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed / so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow / then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow / so vicious
So afraid I couldn't let myself see (Oh)
That I could never be held
Back or up no / I hold myself
Check the rep / yep you know mine well
Forget the rest / let them know my hell (Oh)
There and back / yet my soul ain't sell
Kept respect up / the best they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying
[Chester]
In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally
LET YOU GO
[Mike]
NO / YOU CAN TELL 'EM ALL NOW
I DON'T BACK UP / I DON'T BACK DOWN
I DON'T FOLD UP AND I DON'T BOW
I DON'T ROLL OVER / DON'T KNOW HOW
I DON'T CARE WHERE THE ENEMIES ARE
CAN'T BE STOPPED / ALL I KNOW / GO HARD
WON'T FORGET HOW I GOT THIS FAR
FOR EVERY TIME SAYING
[Chester & (Mike)]
In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally let you
GO (go)
GO (go)
GO (go)
GO (go)
GO (go)

A drums transition outro follows, which segues into a REALLY short version of the Hybrid Theory Grammy Awards winning song "Crawling", with only the intro, first chorus and outro performed.
[Chester]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Confusing what is real
Which immediately segues into a short version of the hit single from Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, "New Divide". The song is performed with the first chorus and the second verse removed.
[Chester]
I remembered black skies,
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong,
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss,
In every lie,
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret
And each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
[Chester & (Mike)]
So give me reason
To prove me wrong,
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason (Oh)
To fill this hole, (Oh)
Connect the space between (Oh, oh)
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies (Oh, oh)
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
The medley ends with "New Divide"'s standard synth outro.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Clyde and Daffy try waking Tabby up while George and Kayla prepare to cure her. Even Heart tries treating her since she saw patients infected with dark magic before. Tabby then wakes up and reveals that it was just a prank.
"While I accept your apology for that," says Power, "that was still uncalled for!"
"You had us worried there!" Heart reprimands her. "Medical emergencies are no joke!"
"I remember when Power and one of her cousins pulled a prank on us long ago," says Miranda, glaring at Tabby. "We were at the carnival when he rushed in 'panicking' that Pow-Pow fainted, but it turned out she was just faking it!"
"And that nearly gave you a heart attack, riiiight?" Trial winks at his wife.
Miranda groans at his pun, Heart scrunches up her face, not sure whether or not to laugh, while Power straight-up giggles.
"Nice dad joke!"
Tabby and Pecan then make their hasty departure.
"I don't like saying this," says Ralsei, "but you should've at least said goodbye!"
"And speaking of goodbyes..."
"I think it's time for your dad and I to go," Heart says to Power.
"We have to go back to work soon, but we're glad to have made up for lost time with you!"
Power hugs them both. "Thanks!"
"Since my schedule is flexible," says Miranda, "I'll stay with her until the end. Have a safe trip home!"
The Database Library, Basement
6k1 lies prone in her bed, still in her party clothes and her legs dangling from the mattress. She has just finished repairing Ally and nominating her tributes, but she's too exhausted to take a bath or change her clothes. Her eyes start to get droopy, but they snap open when she hears the message tone.
Fingers shaking as she types on her phone's custom keyboard, she replies to Psyche:
Understandable. As for me, I didn't reformat Ally's databanks because I have to keep these logs for future reference. While she doesn't like recalling them, she knows and accepts why she has to store them. Thankfully what happened last season was made into an official event, but sadly that means her security systems will never be perfect...
She then puts her phone aside and closes her eyes, her face smooshed against the pillow.

Dave and Fira, seeing that it's close to the end of the party, bids farewell to everyone who is also leaving early, as does Starfall. Meanwhile, the Links and their friends all decide to leave early as well, and the trio thanks them for coming. Starfall then decides to head somewhere else for some leftover food.
"So, where do you want to go with us after this?" Dave asks Fira.
"Just where the road ahead takes us, I'd like to say. One step at a time," she replies.
"Yeah, I think so too. By the Creator, you're beautiful."
She blushes in response.
"There are other women out there much more beautiful than I am, and you know that."
"Yeah, but what matters is what's right here," he gestures to her heart. He cups her cheeks. "So.... if I can ask this, will you be my girlfriend from now on?"
She smiles happily. "Of course I will, as long as you'll have me."
He returns her smile. "So.... as much as I'd rather wait, there is one last thing I'd like to do to make it official," he whispers as their foreheads and noses touch. He closes his eyes.
"What are you doing?" she asks him.
He merely mumbles, "I hope I wouldn't do this wrong...." as he proceeds to lean forward.... and kisses her on the lips.
She is absolutely shocked that he would be so daring, something she wasn't expecting even after all this time. But hearing a sigh of happiness from her new boyfriend makes her happy as well, and she contently gives in to the kiss. She supposes that deep down she had actually been waiting for this moment to arrive.
After what is only a few seconds, but to them feels like an eternity, they let go.
Dave smiles meekly. "That was my first kiss, actually," he mutters shyly. "I know you had asked to wait, but I couldn't resist. Please don't be mad," he pleads.
Fira smiles back at him, a single tear on her eye. "Are you kidding? I could never be truly mad at you. That was.... a bliss. I'd still like to not do that every time, but I like the feeling. Maybe a few times every now and then?"
".... As long as you will have me, my dear."
He wipes the tear from her eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too. And guess what? That's also my first kiss. And it's worth the wait."
They smile at each other, before their lips met for the second time. After a few more seconds, they let go, and decide to talk about the performance, and how things are going with the party ending.
At the stage, one more video playback is played at the screen: part of an interview with iHeartRadio personality Jenn Marino, during the release show for The Hunting Party in 2014. In the playback, Brad joked about going to the bathroom with his guitar during the next few questions. The band then went into a very 'unique' conversation about going to the bathroom. And then Chester claimed that Brad's guitar was actually his penis, because "he plays with it all the time, and that's why he's so good at it", to the laughter of everyone still present (except the younger ones, who are oblivious).
After the video, the band returns. "Tell you what, we've got two songs left for you," Mike announces as "In the End" begins. Sunset Shimmer and Rarity both walk back into the stage. "This one's called 'In the End', our most well-known song."
The song begins, with the piano being played by Joe on his sampler, and Rarity on Mike's keyboard.
[Mike & (Chester)]
(It starts with one) One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know (all I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal (It's so unreal)
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, didn't even know
I wasted it all
Just to watch you go (just to watch you go)
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard
[Chester]
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
[Mike & (Chester)]
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard (I tried so hard)
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Rememberin' all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (it got so far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end (in the end)
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard
[Chester]
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
An extended bridge is then played. "Right, what we want to see is you guys singing along, you hear me? Just follow what Chester sing here, can you do that?" Mike says, as his guitar tech gives him a rhythm guitar to play for the rest of the song. Chester begins singing the bridge.
[Chester <w/ Audience>]
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go

The song ends with the piano ending, played by Joe and Rarity. The audience claps at them.
The rest of the Rainbooms and the Vinyl Scratches all walk into the stage for the last time, as "Bleed It Out" begins.
"Listen up you guys. You guys have been incredible tonight. We're so honored and happy to be here playing with you tonight. Listen up: this one's gonna be our last song. So if you still have energy left, now's the time to use it. Ready?" Mike says.
"YEAH!" the remaining audience replies.
"I can't hear you, ARE YOU READY?"
"YEAH!" a louder reply.
"There we go," Chester says as Mike begins the song.
[Mike]
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is, you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach, somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor, again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
[Chester & Mike]
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out
[Mike]
Go, stop the show
Choppy words and a sloppy flow
Shotgun opera, lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama, help me, I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him, he knows he works
Fuck, this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So why try ignoring him?
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
[Chester & Mike]
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I've opened up these scars (Oh, oh, oh)
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself so far (Oh, oh, oh)
I'll make you face this now
The song comes to a brief stop, and after four clicks from Rob, a surprise cover is played: the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage".
[Chester & (Mike and the Rainbooms)]
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rockin' when I'm in here
Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this fuckin' thorn in my side
Oh my god, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabotage
(Listen all'a'y'all, it's a sabotage)
(Listen all'a'y'all, it's a sabotage)
(Listen all'a'y'all, it's a sabotage)
(Listen all'a'y'all)
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face
So make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be — it's a mirage
You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage
A brief repeat of the Sabotage intro continues, with the turntablists scratching along, as another man with a guitar appears on the large screen. "Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce a friend of ours. His name is Mike Einziger, from the band called Incubus. Oh, Dash, you ready for a guitar solo battle?" Mike announces.
"I'm always ready!" Rainbow Dash replies eagerly.
"Let's go then," Chester says as the song continues with a guitar solo battle between the on-screen Einziger and RD. The audience claps along.
The solo continues for nearly a minute before ending with four more loops of the Sabotage intro.

And with a short jam and a flourish of flames, smoke and confetti, the song, and thus the show and (unofficially) the party, ends. Everyone bows, as the Linkin Park members throw in several guitar picks across to as many of the remaining guests as they can. Rob Bourdon also throws along all of his drumsticks, with a pair launched towards Ralsei and another pair towards Dave and Fira, the new couple. The others are free for all to catch.
"Thank you guys for making this a great night. Thank you to the likes of the Rainbooms, both DJ Pon-3s, Miss Power Stroke over there, and of course everyone who performed here," Mike says.
"It's been a privilege and an honor to be here with you tonight. Thank you so much," Chester also says.
One by one, the performers on stage begins to walk off the stage for the last time. In order: The DJ Pon-3s, Fluttershy, Applejack, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, Joe Hahn, Rarity, Sci-Twi, Pinkie Pie, Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Mike Shinoda, and lastly Chester Bennington. As stage quietens off one last time, as the lights dim. Now all that's left is waiting for the party to officially end.
Everyone takes a seat in several tables further from the stage, eager to take some last minute food. Chester also jokingly flaunts his shirtless abs, to the laughter of his bandmates and the embarrassment of the Rainbooms.
Seeing Ralsei, Duncan tells the band that he hears that the Dark Prince is a fan of theirs. Deciding that a little autograph wouldn't hurt, the band approaches him.
"Hey, we heard you're a fan of us?" Chester asks Ralsei. "Thanks, you know. We appreciate that."
"Where was that shirt we flung earlier? How about we sign it up for you?" Mike offers.
"Eee-yuzz, ey yeah, Shinodaconda," Chester jokes, referring to a meme picture of Mike, causing the man in question to flush in slight embarrassment.
"Yeah, yeah, what you said, Chazzy," Mike replies as he begins to sign the shirt. Chester, Brad, Rob, Phoenix, and Rob follow suit with signing the shirt.
"We appreciate someone who enjoys our music as much as we do, so thanks for sticking with us," Chester tells him, Mike nodding. They then shake the Prince's hands as a sign of appreciation, before returning to their seats to eat some more before the end of the party.
Soon enough, the groups are all completely satisfied and full. Now, all that's left is for the party to be officially closed by the host, Bale.

Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
Ruler of Everything
Departure
Tabby and Pecan gleefully congratulate Dave and Fira.
"Ahh,congrats you two! I wish I was lucky as you! Too bad I’m still single."
"Ah,romance in the air. I hope you two are together for a very long time."
"Anyway, let’s head to the Database Library together, Pecan. Parallel Pecan and Ichigo has left much earlier a while ago. They are waiting for us at home."
"See ya! The party was fun!"
They both leave them alone and they go off into a corner.
Tabby brings up a sliver cube out of her pocket.
"I've brought a little portable portal with me. It can pop up like Sixty's time machine."
"Lemme enter the coordinates."
She presses a couple of buttons and it open ups. Tabby and Pecan make their farewells to the party. They enter the portal and it closes.
Meanwhile, The Cosmic Crusaders also go home as well with the other Pokémon as well much later.
Tabby dusts off her legs as she enters the library.
"Okay,where did I park my vehicle? Maybe it’s outside. All I have to do is find the exit."
She walks for a bit between the bookcases until she finally finds a exit, only to spot someone in the distance reading a book titled The Games and how they were formed." It’s her archenemy: Akumo.
[[evil:[[purple:"Akumo?! How did he get in this highly protected place? Did he use teleportation or something.''
"Beats me, he probs did."
Akumo turns around from his book.
"Huh, I’m not alone in here."
"Maybe Tabby's here. Oh that will be fun."
Tabby and Pecan take some shallow quick breaths.
"We need to get out of here asap."

Kirby
Bale's Base
Ribbon goes on to check Kirby.
"He's already asleep."
Kirby is fast asleep on his chair. Ribbon the softly picks him up and brings him into the Spacepod, where she tucks him in his bed. She later does the same with the Treatlings.

Light and Hope
Bale's Base
As Starfall finishes the last of his food, he sees Dave and Fira kissing, and Tabby and Pecan congratulating them before leaving. He snickers to himself. Duncan notices as he is about to enter the stage to give a farewell speech.
"What did you find funny, Starfall?"
"Oh, nothing. But it seems those two have finally tied the knot."
"Lord Dave and Lady Fira? .... Huh, I never would have imagined what I heard from Morgan was right."
"Wait, what?"
"You heard what I said. It seems Morgan figured that out earlier when I accidentally eavesdropped on a conversation of his with Scipion, but I think they haven't made any word of it. Besides, it's not exactly my business."
"Eh? What did he say?"
"I might be wrong, but it's something about Lord Dave, 'who can't wait to.... err, do the deed, with his blue haired girlfriend."
"Geez, he thinks it's that obvious?"
Duncan nods. "Anyway, I gotta give my closing speech."
Starfall nods as Duncan heads to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Duncan Woodstack. My primary job was to lead a group of construction workers in repairing Mr. Bale's base, but as it turns out my organizing skills had been of use during this party. I would like to thank everyone who has shown up to this party, whether they are still here or has already left. Mr. Bale and his company, I'm sure, are happy that you came to this party in celebration of the defeat of the Legion of Doom. It is a moment to be remembered by, for the Legion of Doom had been menacing us ever since the arrival of the evil Valecor, yet now they are no more. However, we should all remember that evil too shall continue to rise. However, we will face it together, for no evil can stand forever against good. There will always be a light in the deepest and darkest abyss. That is truth. That is all, and thank you for coming."
He then steps down to prepare to pack up. His crew are all eager to go.... when their new ship arrives, at least. Though at the very least their old ship had been towed back during the party, so that makes it less of a hassle.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
Bale's Base
Billy quickly made preparations for next season. He nominated Johnny and Gyro, with the former being the same one as nominated throughout the seasons, but the universe where he's from was a bit different. Then, he ordered Amiya and Spongebob to return after their quick revivals.
Then, he ordered Bruno to be restored back to normal too by removing his satori third eye and fixing his mind, calling Satori and Koishi to help with it. He also ordered Slenderman to be resurrected using a special device that would activate on Slenderman's cell, reviving him, but not allowing him to escape with his powers.
Billy soon said goodbye when Mr. Star and his group left, only to return. However he would then leave again, so he said his goodbye again. After this, he would discover that an unknown nominator decided to borrow Nick, as Billy nominated him before in another game.
Now in the present, as Billy's guests are trying to enjoy stuffs, they get shaken as the floors start bouncing. Spongebob and his friends as usual get into funny antics with it, with Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and especially Squidward being reluctant. Likewise, Kal'tsit and Amiya feel the same, while Closure actually enjoys it. Billy meanwhile is just stoic.
In the meantime, George and Kayla has just finished their simulator session, where they did some weapon and magic training, when they notice the floor is bouncy before stepping on it. Reacting quickly, the servants use magic to create pathways out of dimensional energy, allowing them to walk without getting bounced. As for Billy, his Stand automatically protects him by generating a floating invisible cube barrier, preventing Billy from being bounced too.
Billy also notices what Morgan is trying to do and remains stoic, though inside, he is angry at Morgan. He then thinks to himself that his Stand may be able to save her, though he also notes that he needs more natural reflex and mental speed, not just his powers alone.
He then sees that some guests are leaving, so he and his guests all wave and say goodbye to them, as well as wishing them to return safely. He soon continues watching the season, feeling a bit disappointed at Johnny's death.
The Arena
The season has started. Gyro immediately finds a horse to ride, while Nick runs away. Before Nick does his act however, Johnny remembers his time in the previous season he appeared. Despairing, he tries to commit suicide by using his Spin, but he gets talked out by another tribute.
Then, Gyro comes across a terminal with Kai on the screen. He tries to issue a command for some reason, but Kai obviously doesn't respond. Nick also asks for Snape's phone number, while Johnny travels to season 110, where he sees a future event there. Maybe it's the one involving one of Billy's tributes, like Mikitaka or a yet undecided tribute.
In the night, Nick immediately pranks Snape with a scam, causing the Seinfeld Theme to play. Meanwhile Gyro, remembering Billy's personality, makes an impression of him as the stoic businessman, while Johnny is somehow traumatized by what he saw in the future, so he doesn't notice a pond of boiling water. He soon falls into it and gets boiled, but he just accepts it.
Next day, Nick is intercepted by Boris. He screams, "Please don't kill me!" as he struggles, only for his phone to ring with a call from his lover. Surprisingly, it's not Judy, as she is in relation with Jack Savage instead. Meanwhile, Gyro gets involved in a tug of war earlier. In the following night, Nick enters a strange factory alongside two tributes, making them cute. Gyro in the meantime does what the Pillar Men did.
Then, Karate Joe refuses to talk to Gyro, while Nick suddenly becomes a savage predator when he beats Sailor Mercury with the help of Apollo, killing her. In the day, Gyro gets beheaded but somehow survives. Nick then gets told by a Ceph Scorcher that the Smash Fighters are not Preys.
In the night, Gyro still can't find his head, so he gets confused and turns in 4th Wall to the other tribute instead of killing it. Nick then asks Snape about wanting to drink something after his prank few days ago, wanting blueberry juice. Another day, he gets drunk alongside Shroomy and shouts some nonsense word, much to Judy and Jack's, who are watching after their jobs for the day, disapproval back home. Meanwhile Gyro compensates the same tribute by giving him a magic feather.
Another night, Nick plays a game of I Spy while Gyro, starts a riot like Giorno did a year ago. Then in the day, Gyro gets insulted about how nobody will love him without his head, crushing him and forcing him to find his head back. Meanwhile Karate Joe becomes like Nobita when Nick wakes him up like Doraemon did.
In the night, Gyro tries to get a snack from a vending machine, only for the bag to be stuck. Unfamiliar with it, he tries to Smash the machine using a powerful Spin from his Stand, Ball Breaker, but the machine somehow survives. The Smash fighters then help him. Meanwhile Nick saves Karate Joe like his job as a police.
Gyro then decides to make Dedede Clone rest in peace by taking his body to a mountain for a sky burial, while Nick somehow overpowers and kidnaps Galeem and Dharkon for ransom. However, the Smash fighters all rescue them.
Area 101
Area 101 is one of the many military bases in Kendor. It is where the corporation put the Dragon Balls few months ago. For the base itself, it is not a normal military base. Located on one of the habitable moons of a gas giant in a star system that is on the outer sector of Kendor, this base is a bit like Area 51 in that it is used more for secret military developments, as well as storing and investigating anomalous objects, including the Dragon Balls.
Other than that, it's pretty average-sized for a Kendorian military base. One day, while the soldiers are working, the radar people spot a mysterious force gathering on the star system. The radar then immediately registers them as potentially hostile force. This causes the military to immediately prepare the fleets to face off against the potential enemies, but the soldiers try to open communication first.
The communication person asks to the leader of the enemy after opening communication, "Greetings. We are the Kendorian Interstellar Armed Force. Please state your identity and your business here, or else we will have to confront you!"
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).
