(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.

"Well, I mean, I've dealt with enough clone shenenigans as is, dear sister," Dave jokes.
"Well, for the scars, and this 'Scattered Brain', I have no idea on what to expect at this moment."
"And for the investigation?"
"Well, I don't know much about it, so as was said, be ready for anything."
"And what about after?"
"There's a connection between the Winter's End and the Neon Quarters, as it has been said. Still, the 'be ready of anything' also applies, especially there. We do not know much about our destination."
They look at 6k1, Billy, and Haze, asking for what they think, and any proposed ideas.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

After Tabby's presentation, Magolor then says that Kirby and his friends are going to explore the Winter's End as well. Susie also claims that she's involved with Ribey. Magolor also accepts 6k1's apology.

The Database Library, Conference Room
6k1 hears the horn outside and turns on the TV for everyone to watch the season. The Sentry Turret, Miku, and Doppelganger Arle all try to gang up on Pop, but he inflates a pink balloon with his tail and pushes them out of the way with it. Once the balloon's as big as the Cornucopia, he bursts it, sending them flying into the Forcefield. The explosion was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the Library, so 6k1 and Ally wince while covering their ears.
Later that day, Fox calls Pop while the latter's cooking. The Experiment can't hear him, however, since he forgot to cover his ears earlier. He then receives a text message from Fox telling him to pause his cooking, angering him.
Meanwhile, Pokey bats baseballs into Hades and Persephone's heads, stunning them. 6k1 also facepalms at the Elite Beat Agents giving Burnouts an overdue book as a gift, then turns to her guests.
"Susie, you accompanied Magolor to the Voidlands when he studied Ribey, right?"
If that is the case, says Ally, then we would like to listen to your account of what happened to her there.
"And speaking of her—" 6k1 opens the same book about the café that Power read, "—she was also one of the employees at the Winter's End."
She then unfolds the map that was inserted and shows it to everyone.
"She was most likely kept in the basement before she started working there, but she was factory reset due to the Voidlands' effects on her."
It is still advisable to search for her, anyway.
Ally explains the structure and layout of the building. While it's mostly a café, there are subtle designs that hint towards it serving a military purpose, too.
"I'll be joining Magolor in investigating it," says 6k1.
If anyone else would like to join us, please raise your hand. We are also welcome to any suggestions to optimize our mission.
"I'm sure some of you would like to risk searching Neon Quarters first, but we have to explain that, too."
Fauna's Clinic
While waiting for her turn, 6k2 uses her screen spell to watch the Games. Dupe clings to her leg when Pop makes his kills in the Bloodbath.
"Mommy, what happened?" asks Mimi, who likewise hugs him.
"It's his cousin, sweetie. He should be just as nice as your brother, but due to how the Arena works..."
The Starble's antennae droop. "Oh..."

"Fair enough. At least you know how to answer to people like a normal person, unlike some. I'll write that down on your file after the mission." GLaDOS said to Fira. Scipion's tributes, save for the Cloud of Darkness, looked either with either mistrust or curiosity the new arrivals. Then Tabby showed her presentation. The group silently listened and nodded.
"I didn't know there were magical girls who were... quite generous with their bodies." the AI commented after Tabby revealed she was a magical girl.
"If you think she's fat, you could say it loud and clear, computer." Mewtwo added.
"Clearly, you don't know what tact is. But since we are talking about a genocidal Pokémon, that was to be expected." GLados coldly answered. The legendary clone growled and shrugged it off.
Then, the season began.
"Anyways, a random fact. Did you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noises-"
Then, Pop's balloon burst, surprising Giegue and his brothers as they covered their ears.
"Don't look at me like that. That wasn't me this time."
"Well, well, well. It's the second time the Zoroark's tributes died early. Let's hope he won't throw another tantrum this time." Mewtwo said, half-smiling.
"The chances of that happening are ridiculously low. Except if he wishes to die by a heart attack due to permanent stress."
After that, 6k1 suggested investigating the Winter's End first.
"If the Neon Quarters and the Winter's End are indeed connected, then I see no problem starting our search at the café. Perhaps we could all start with it before going to what remains of the Neon Quarters." Giegue suggested.
Distortion World
When Scipion woke up, he simply growled at his tributes' death. That was the second time they died early. But it was not as serious as the previous events.
The Zoroark then looked and smiled as Onox was loudly eating his cake. Well, Dave and Co. held their part of the deal. He could respect that, especially after the bad things he did to them.
"Onox. Try not to eat loudly, you prevent Scips to recover correctly." Morgan asked as he entered the room. The Zoroark nodded in approval.
"Woch, wech Woch!" Onox exclaimed, his mouth stuffed with food. Once they were alone, Morgan sat near the Zoroark.
"Bothered by Aaron, are we?"
"Yeah... On one hand, with my healing power and enhanced moves, I'm sure I could defeat or even capture that bastard as soon as I can... But on the other hand, if his training with the gay duo makes him too powerful..."
"You want to test your strength, I suppose?"
"I was thinking about that."
"I'm not a specialist, but I think you've reached the limits of your power unless you want to become crazy again. But you know, brute force is not always the answer. You can't become stronger, but you can become deadlier, I'm sure of that."
"True... I'll have to ask mom and dad about that..." Scipion muttered, smirking darkly.
Dragonspiral Tower
While the Rescue Squad was watching the season, cringing at the Pokémons's death, they were interrupted by Reshiram and Zekrom as the two dragons approached them.
"We accept your request, Aaron the Lucario, Alex the Charmeleon and Tokage the Grovyle. From now on, you will be under our care." the white dragon announced. The team bowed their heads in respect, as a way of saying thanks.
"Typical of Lugia to die like this, even if that was an alternate version of the guardian of the seas and moon... He is so easy to distract." Zekrom grumbled.
"True. Lugia is an odd one. But it is enjoyable to have him around..."
"Hmph. Follow us." Zekrom commanded.
Silver Trench's temple
"Welp, I'm already out." Lugia said, slightly disappointed that his other self died so quickly. He couldn't help but be amused by his shadow self and imitated his Scouse accent.
"Erm, erm! Sir Lugia...?" James asked, not very confident about talking with Lugia, fearing that he might get angry.
"Yeah? By the way, you can just call me Lugia. It's simpler."
"Of course, Lugia. Anyways... We do appreciate your hospitality, we really do. But... We came here to train."
Lugia winked several times.
"Uh? Aaaah yes!!! I completely forgot!! I didn't even ask why you were here in the first place, silly me!! But, what do you need by "training" exactly?"
"Well..."
James then smirked and posed proudly before discreetly waving at Arthur. The Decidueye rolled his eyes and reluctantly posed as well.
"We are the Blue Wings!! THE best rescue team this world has ever seen!! I am JAMES-"
"BOND!" Lugia happily exclaimed. The Inteleon stopped and cringed, embarrassed.
"From what I've read at the Database Library, he isn't completely wrong." Arthur whispered.
"Whoops! Sorry!"
James sighed and cleared his throat before continuing with his rather hammy presentation which lasted for several minutes. The Inteleon kept rambling on about the noble origin of his family as well as his "duty" to be the best of the best with his loyal sidekick. Lugia stared at the duo and giggled.
"Heh. You remind me of my little bro, Ho-Oh."
"Oh? You mean I am just as regal, august, powerful, grandiose, fabulous as the legendary bird?" James asked, smirking excitedly, expecting a "yes".
"You talk a lot. Well... Ho-oh doesn't pose as much as you. But you're like just as fun to watch!"
"So much for the regal bullshit." Arthur muttered while James just stood there, shocked.
"I like you two. You know what? Yeah, I'll help you become one of the best rescue teams to ever exist! When I'm free of course, 'cause Ho-Oh's going to be mad at me again if I slack up again. So all aboard, the training train!!"
James tried to hold back his smirk but failed and snorted. He had to admit, that was a good one.

The Database Library, Conference Room
6k1 continues watching while waiting for the others to decide on where to go. Pokey yells, "spaghetti and meatballs!" onstage while Sir Cumference accidentally makes a circumference joke about Pop and the other Sir Cumference. 6k1 laughs at them while Ally shakes her head, reminding her of the meeting.
Suddenly, the alarm goes off. 6k1 gets up and prepares to defend herself while Ally orders everyone to stand guard.
"Don't worry, our security guards will get to the intruder first!"
Ally glances at the TV. 6001, Experiment 009 is no longer in the Arena!
"WHAT?!"
Pop barges into the room and turns his back on 6k1, smirking.
Everyone, please evacuate the conference room immediately!
Ally takes her urgent departure. 6k1 tries following her but she's pushed back by Pop's balloon. As it quickly fills the room, the DM struggles to use her Exoskeleton or activate her armor, wondering how he managed to get past the new defenses. She's then pushed against the window.
BOOM!
Those who weren't able to leave in time are knocked back by the explosion, their hair frizzed up if they have. 6k1, however, is launched out of the Library, screaming. Ally goes back inside and glares at Pop, who cowers and runs away from her.
6001, what happened to you?!
She looks out the broken window. The DM was thrown far into the Arena, but she's not moving. An ambulance from the Science Center drives towards her.
We must relocate our meeting while the Maintenance Department cleans up the damages, Ally announces to the guests. Unfortunately, 6001 died from the fall, so I shall be taking over her duties until she fully recovers.
Power's Home
Power is on the edge of her bed at the scene. While she knows 6k1 will be okay, she's still concerned about her mission. If she decides to push through with it after her recovery, she'd be risking her health. But if she resigns, she'd be missing out, and the team might be affected in the long run.
Power just waits for the next part of the season and any news about 6k1. She just hopes Pop didn't go out of his way to kill 6k2 as well.
Fauna's Clinic
While Pokey gets concerned about PMATGA!Sir Cumference "not feeling so good", 6k2 stares at 6k1's body with her jaw hanging low.
"Oh Celestia..." she mutters to herself, "it's been a long time since my own tribute killed me..."
She pulls Dupe and Mimi closer and hugs them tight, the former crying over what his cousin had done to his nominator.
"Does that mean you'll die too, Mommy?"
"Don't worry Mimi, I won't. I'll just be in my weakened state until 6k1 is revived and merged back."
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Kirby
The Database Library
When Pop somehow breaks into the room, Magolor and the group escapes the room. As soon as Ally went back in, Ribbon asks Ally what happened.
Magolor says "Well, i certainly didn't expect that!"

Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
Database Library
Out of nowhere, Pop invaded the Conference room while Ally warned everyone to leave at once. Giegue and Mewtwo got out of here in time, carrying GLaDOS and Ori telepathically. Before they could try to stop her fall, 6k1 was thrown out of the window. Only Cloud of Darkness was unfazed by her death, as it teleported away. When it reappeared, the entity immediately raised one of its hands, ready to dispose of what it thought was an annoying pest.
"COD, we have no time for this!" Giegue yelled, him an Ori helping to put 6k1 into the ambulance.
"Hmph. A pity."
"Great. We didn't even begin that someone already died. And that wasn't even an actual enemy."
"Let's hope she will recover quickly..."
Distortion World
Scipion wasn't very happy to see Pop and Bernd murdering their respective nominators.
"How interesting... I didn't know tributes could kill their own nominators. I'm sure they didn't even begin their little rescue mission." Morgan commented, smirking.
"Hmph. That'll never happen to me."
"What makes you think that?"
"My tributes seriously don't want to see me angry..." Scipion snarled.
"You're married like me, you know monstrosity can take many forms."
Ruler of Everything
This Bitch Empty
"Well, good idea on your part of the Winter’s End."
She listens to the others feedback. Suddenly, Pop invades the library and throws 6k1 out of the window. Tabby heads outside of the library as fast she can. Unfortunately, 6k1 couldn’t be saved.
"She’s dead! If only if that little shit was stopped in time, jesus fuck."
"Did Akumo possess Pop and did that?"
"Sorry Tabby for that sudden whammy."
They go back inside.
"Pecan, you’ve crossed the line. Hey, how about we relocate at my place? My only rules there are to not snoop around or be a POS. It’s quite comfy for a person like me."
"Anyone in favor for Tabby's Base?"
Frost and Ice
A demon in a green dress eats a apple. This demon has a body of a 18 year old girl. She swallows the core as cyanide is a good source of vitamins for her. She sits down as a certain shadow arrives.
"Ah, Rubyfrost...Hell-"
"Halt! What business do you have with Mistress Ruby, you dumbass shadow?"
"What?"
"Don’t you "What" me!!"
"That’s enough, Gala."
"Welcome back, Noire. What do you have in mind for me?"
"Hmph."
Gala steps out of the way. Noire goes up to Rubyfrost.
"Hello madam, I figured you were the guy that my ex Akumo made a deal with after I snooped in his diary. I regret to inform you that he was captured by a nominator named Billy."
"If you were looking for help, I can’t do it."
"Ever since some blue haired lady has made me my own prisoner, I can’t leave this place but that doesn’t stop me from spectating."
"I wasn’t asking for help!"
"I know, it’s such a shame that my pupil disappointed me."
"Say Mistress, didn’t you had a job for her?"
"Thank you Gala for reminding me. The only way for this seal to be broken is through mortal blood, specifically nominator blood."
"Uhh, nominators aren’t some silly chosen ones, they were interested in that business and plus, many of them are just average people."
"Are you questioning the logic of my mistress? That is a grave mistake!"
"Yes, that is true Noire. My task for you is to find a nominator to offer as a blood sacrifice for me so I can get out of here. Maybe that little Tabby girl Akumo ranted about."
"Uhh, I found that out the hard way during the battle with the Legion of Doom. Maybe someone else? Ooh, maybe that stupid fox! None of the Nominators care for him!"
"The last thing I want to do is to anger Giratina. Anyway, choose your pick wisely. Take your time."
"Yeah, I don’t want to this now. Terminus' allies and I are staying in hiding and that’s what is best for us."
"You’re a ally to that scum Terminus?!"
"While I detest Terminus a little bit, I’m glad you guys have moved on but you should remember how I brought you to power."
"Alright, farewell miss."
Noire exits Rubyfrost's dimension.
"Wow, she is totally going to regret this."
"Patience,Gala."

Scampton
After seeing Pop throw 6k1 out of the window, the two Tinker Knights looked at each other. Did book girl just... die?! The two of them sniffle a bit.
Meanwhile, Hazemaster was just staring into space before... that happened, which caused him to snap back to attention.
Uhh... WHAT?! O...Kay then! Let's just go to Tabby's place, ha ha! He backs away slowly
ALL ABOARD THE BIG SHOT EXPRESS!!!!!

Finally, the group is let in. As Billy enters the building, he greets the nominators as usual. In addition, he says to Dave and Fira after his greeting, "Anyway, it is a great news to see that both of you are fine after your time in the Arena. I wish you will get well soon Fira." Meanwhile, Spongebob, Amiya, Giorno and Reimu all haven't gone to the Database Library yet.
While Giorno doesn't care and just greet everyone, Spongebob is excited. He shouts, "Wow! This library is awesome! Reminds me of the one in my own house." Meanwhile Reimu says, "Library? Is this one of those places I heard from that fellow shrine maiden in her stories? I'm guessing they have scrolleries too." Finally, Amiya says, "I like this place. It reminds me of Rhodes Island." Amiya then proceeds to greet the nominators formally, "Greetings. I am Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island. I heard that we are going to do a rescue mission, so, as instructed by CEO Billy, I will help you in this mission." In her mind, Amiya has a bit of doubt after the failed rescue mission months ago while RI was still fighting the Reunion Movement.
Soon after George and Kayla also finish greeting everyone, with Kayla also wishing that Fira will get well too, the group is led to the conference room. There, they are introduced to how the PMMM universe work. Billy, George, and Kayla already have some knowledge, but the tributes don't. Immediately, they react to how horribly the magical girls are treated there in their own ways. Giorno expresses his anger in a relatively calm way, but he speaks, "So those Incubators are exploiting them? What a scum."
Meanwhile, Spongebob looks scared at it while screaming, "How can they do this to them?" Meanwhile, Reimu says, "So they feed on those girls' energy to save the world? This sounds like what Yukari had to do, but that sure is a good way to do it." Reimu said the last part in a sarcastic tone. Finally, Amiya says, "The Incubators are horrible. They remind me of the Reunion Movement with how they treat the girls like they treat the Infected."
Once this is out of the way, Tabby raises a point about the scar. Immediately, Billy says, "I actually have a scar in my right forearm. I cannot show you right now as it will be immodest for this kind of situation, but I am interested in knowing more about it and Scattered Brain."
As the season starts, Billy looks at it. Aak opens by breaking the nose of another tribute, only to inject the tribute with a serum. He claims, "Don't worry about your broken nose. I have injected you with a grape-flavored serum." It then works as the pain is gone. He immediately says, "Actually, this is a placebo. However, you are the first patient to try this, and it works." As Aak is done for now, Hung parts way and sees three tributes. Immediately, he grabs some bombs and kill them all, which is out of character. It kills two tributes, but Boingo, who predicts it from his Stand, Toth, survives.
In the day, Aak continues fooling around while Hung continues bombing another tribute to death. The second part soon arrives. As Billy is in the middle of watching, he witnesses Bernd going to kill his own nominator, but it isn't shown in detail. Then, he notices what seems to be a camera drone pointing into the Library, as one of 6k1's own tribute enters. His Stand automatically detects him as a threat, so Billy follows the evacuation order without hesitation. He doesn't even try to fight alongside his servants, as they knows this is a scripted event, so their powers will be temporarily nullified by the Forcefield. However, Billy's tributes try to fight back, only to find out that they can't even use their powers, so they have to run too.
After the chaos is over, Billy looks at the Library, seeing the DM's dead body. However, his Stand immediately reveals to him that she has an active clone in another universe. He soon hears Tabby's suggestion, so he says, "It sounds like a good idea, as doing a meeting in the Database Library during an ongoing season is not safe." His servants and tributes soon show their supports. In the background, the guarding operators are also disappointed at their failure of stopping Pop, until Billy reveals to them that the death is all scripted to happen.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).

Being a nominator is an occupational hazard, Ally answers Ribbon. Case in point: Ichigo Montoya.
She gestures to the TV, where Ichi fights the EBA before leaving.
At least he was able to escape the Arena before he could be harmed any further.
She turns it off, retrieves 6k1's bag, and leads the team to the entrance. She distributes the earpieces to everyone and does one final headcount.
Majority has agreed to transfer the meeting to Tabby's base, so we shall be finalizing our plans there. Lead the way, Miss.
Power's Home
"Ichi? What are you doing?! You just saw what happened to 6k1, didn't you?!"
Power shudders at him violating one of the basic Arena rules. She sighs in relief when he leaves, but then a terrifying realization hits her. 6k1 was just in the Library when she was killed, but Zan wasn't even in the Arena when Cowbear pummeled her in Season 33. These tributes will always find ways to kill their nominators if they want to, so not even Power is safe...
She gets her crystal ball to check on Ichi, but puts it back when Hades and Persephone receive a live explosive from an unknown sponsor the next day. She sighs.
Fauna's Clinic
6k2 nods at Giegue and Ori helping the paramedics place 6k1 on the stretcher before the ambulance drives back to the Science Center. She hopes for her speedy recovery while Pop builds a dispenser for the Sniper and Pokey plays with his Slade action figure. She raises an eyebrow when Pop tells Pokey in sign language that he saw him die in a previous season the next day.
"Excuse me," Pokey says to him, "but this is my first time in the Arena. You must be mistaken."
Pop squints at the blue stallion's lips as he speaks, then they both part ways, confused by their conversation.

"Darn, this again? And I thought the guards placed here is enough.... Yeah, a nominator's job is a hazard, indeed. Please, be alright sis...."
The team then receive their earpieces. Tabby suggests planning the last stages of the mission at her base.
"Well, I was about to suggest my Home Base for consideration as well, as its heavy protection which should make for less interference, but if you guys want to go to Tabby's base instead, go ahead," Dave says.

Bale was watching the Season from his couch and was unamused by Bulba's early death. After reviving him, he sent him back to the prison where he was sent to after the LOD's defeat.
Bale: Boy, this Season's been a blast. All this and circumference jokes with some TF 2 and Jojo humor.
MG: Guess memers got a hold of this Season's narrative. Anyways, Slade with a Stand might be too powerful, don't ya think.
Bale: Crap, you're right.
Then Daffy jumped out of the kitchen, with a big sandwich in a plate and talked with Bale.
Daffy: Hey pal, this place's been kind of boring. Do you have any ideas on how to make this place more dynamic?
Bale: How about we try out some musical instruments?
MD: First, we gotta learn how to appreciate freeform jazz!
The four all began to think and reflect on that genre as jazz music played in the background which Daffy noticed.
Daffy: Uh, did anyone else hear the sudden jazz music?
MD: Yeah...
MG: Uh, right. I'll ignore that.
Bale: I think I'll do, too. At least we appreciate jazz more now.
Daffy: Of course. Hey, how about Bale takes care of the Saxophone.
Bale: That's one cool instrument, we could make our own jazz band.
MG: I'll take care of the guitar then.
MD: I'll be the drum guy.

I thought he was busy with another mission, Ally says to Magolor, but if he wants to join us, he can, but I need you to watch over him.
And do not worry about 009, Ribbon. There have been instances of tributes outside the arena being killed by the season's participants, but they are statistically rarer than nominator murders.
Her eyes then flash a few times.
My clone has sent me a signal. She says that the Necromancy Department is working on 6001's revival as we speak.
Fauna's Clinic
6k2 cringes at Pop insulting the bronies, making Pokey break down crying.
Can't believe Pop decided to bring up that comic where Pokey more or less pulled an Akumo on Rainbow Dash and Derpy...
The next day, Pop unwittingly traumatizes Puppetmaster and Charley when he asks an innocent question while Pokey attends Noddy's speech, which is just snoring. While 6k2 wonders if Noddy's dreaming of potatoes, Mimi climbs up the window and watches Fauna tend to her patients.
"Now now, little kitty..." the yellow earth pony says to her patient, "I'll have to put you on a special wheelchair until your legs are fully healed..."
Mimi turns to 6k2. "Mommy? Is 6k1 gonna have to ride on one, too?"
"Depends on how badly injured she was from her fall, but since she was thrown out from the 4th floor, I'm afraid she might have to."
"Aww..."
6k2 continues watching the Games. Pokey plays Elemental Twister with Executioner while Pop has fun bursting the bubble wrap in the room he just entered. The next day, Pop gives Lance bad advice while Pokey wears a hoodie and mask to hide his identity, ashamed of what Pop told him about his portrayal in that comic.
Dupe just glares at his cousin and growls.

Area 101
Actually, the section of military of the KIAF at Area 101 and the reinforcement sent were not a significant portion of the whole military. They were relatively small compared to the rest of the force, as the KIAF's military is pretty large, especially for a democratic nation.
Back in the warehouse where the Dragon Balls were stored, as the soldiers stationed there were all forced into submission, the quick transport ships immediately appeared in the atmosphere, and since the Vixen Goddess only conquered few bunkers and the warehouse, she couldn't stop them easily. Instead, they landed just outside of the base in a safe area. Then, the special agents inside, who had especially high resistance to psychic attacks, wrote a coordinate on the magical rune papers, which were then applied to rainbow colored cone-shaped devices with a small antenna. These devices emitted signals that would disrupt psychic wave to break a psychic user's control over their victims. Being military grade, they were developed with especially them powerful psychics in mind, and the nation itself had dealt with some over the years.
In space, after Mario and friends got successfully rescued, further reinforcements came to help defeat the remaining enemies. It seemed they were already not in a good shape from the earlier fight. Suddenly, the mysterious ships were revealed as Elliot's. As the soldiers were somewhat relieved at the one who wanted the balls appearing to help, they also took note of how their radar couldn't discern them when it should.
The base's commander, Harold, realized that Elliot was Billy's ally. He responded, "Greetings Elliot. As you can see, we are now fighting the Vixen Goddess' forces. She is now currently occupying the warehouse where the Dragon Balls are stored, and she has manipulated most of them into submission with her psychic powers. Her army of Xenomorphs have also overrun few of our bunkers, but do not worry, we already have a solution for this."
Suddenly, the bunkers last automatic security system activated when they detected that all soldiers were killed horribly and became breeding grounds for the Xenomorphs. Immediately, those bunkers just self destructed violently, taking all Xenomorphs inside with it. Pieces of debris flied up, but damage was limited due to durable materials. Now there were just a maximum of 28 intact bunkers.
"Sorry for doing this, but this is one of the protocols, which we only use in last resort situations like this. You may ask about what will we do to those dead bodies inside. Don't worry, we have technology and magic to automatically recognize and piece together the dead back to their non-injured state. We can even resurrect them after this if they or their family will it." Harold continued to Elliot.
As the tides turned, the soldiers on land were motivated again. They started to fight against the Vixen Goddess, with other soldiers being airdropped as reinforcements. Those reinforcements already had their power armors enhanced temporarily, and they applied that enhancement to the ones on the base by injecting a substance to the armor itself rather than the body of the soldiers. This strengthened the power of the suits to even more superior levels, including protection against psychic powers, meaning the normal soldiers now had chances against the Vixen Goddess's psychic capabilities. Also included in the manpower reinforcement was special force soldiers, as well as nonsentient robots and drones to safely scout the area.

Billy is waiting for the group to depart into Tabby's Base, while continuing to watch into the Arena, seeing what his tributes are doing. He notices that hours seem to pass by quickly for them, but at the same time it's also weirdly the normal time flow. He watches as Aak continues being in-character, while Hung is oddly protective of Aak by killing other tributes, which he will never do in normal situations. Recently, he sees that Hung somehow manages to summon Noah using a portal he found in the Arena, who then proceeds to kill Shadow Lugia. Billy just notes that Noah is super buffed just for this situation, while Shadow Lugia may be weakened temporarily just to make it easier to kill.
He soon goes into a thought about his so called "dark" nominations. He calls it like that as they are all tributes who are nominated in another multiverse that fellow nominators don't access. It's specifically called dark as most nominators don't seem to care about them, making the tributes not widely known. He also notes that the nominator information about him that is available to the public isn't updated in months, but he keeps note of the tributes himself in a personal note.
After this, he hears about 6k1 about to be resurrected. Immediately, he says, "I am willing to offer my help in resurrecting Ms. 6k1."

I accept your offer, says Ally, but it is up to 6001 to decide if she still wants to proceed with the mission. On the other hand, I commend Dave and Fira for volunteering after their last season.
She relays this to her clone, who passes it on to the Necro Department.

Forward
"Ah okay, it seems like everyone is in favor of my base."
"I’ll send you guys the directions from here."
All of the other nominators who are attending the meeting get a notification on their phone for the directions.
Pecan and Parallel Pecan hold both of Tabby's hands.
"I’ll meet you guys there, later!"
She snaps her fingers while Pecan holds onto to her right arm and the 3 disappear in a puff of smoke.

Immediately, Billy thinks about how should he go in reviving 6k1. The first solution can be to use an emergency resurrection charm device that he has been carrying everywhere since his mistaken assassination by one of the BTS boys. However, he only carries one at the moment, so he can't use it on other nominators.
He then has a second, more pragmatic solution. He grabs his phone and calls to the head of the Medical Department of his mansion, Fvearniyx. The humanoid bird-like extraterrestrial doctor then come out of the portal to help 6k1's resurrection using magitek methods. As he gets out, he says to Billy, "Hello CEO Billy. Where's miss 6k1 right now?" Billy immediately points to where her body is lying, so Fvearniyx immediately goes there to help the resurrection. As this is happening, Reimu, Giorno, Spongebob and Amiya also witness it. They already know the doctor as they all have been killed in reality at one point during their Arena outings.
Once this is done, Billy looks at the Arena again. Once more, it seems the day and night have been passing by at a contradictory rate for everyone. He sees as Hung continues doing some lore stuffs, and gets dismayed when Aak gets attacked by a monster and tries to fight it with his blowdart, only to be killed instead. However, he can't order Fvearniyx to revive Aak too, as the season is still ongoing. Instead, he will just have Fvearniyx do the resurrection in the Mansion.
Then, Tabby, Pecan, and her alternate self leave for their base. With this, Billy calls Fvearniyx to say that he should return to the Mansion after reviving 6k1, then has George and Kayla summon a portal to the base. They do, and everyone gets inside to the base.

Ally relays the directions to her clone, who passes it on to the Travel Department. The portal to Tabby's base is summoned, and Ally leads the team through it.
The Science Center
Since 6k1 was already taken to the Resurrection Theater by the time Fvearniyx arrives, he's redirected to the Science Center. After receiving his guest ID, he goes to the Theater and greets Dr. Phoenix.
"You're also named after the mythological bird of death and rebirth, is it not?" Phoenix asks him, chuckling. "Well, more or less, but it helps that you're a bird person, too!
"Anyway, we were able to reconstruct 6001's bones and remove the glass shards from her body. You're here to help in reviving her, is it not? Then be our guest."
He lets Fvearniyx into the Theater, where he does his magitek. Once 6001's vitals have been restored, she's wheeled out by the nurses to the Recovery Room. Phoenix thanks him for the help before following the staff upstairs. He also emails Ally 3.2 that the revival was a success but 6k1 won't immediately return to the team, and the clone relays this to 3.1.
Fauna's Clinic
6k2 hangs her head low when Pokey overeats during the Feast, causing his stomach to rupture. He went through a lot since that encounter: he got trapped in a net, drunkenly called himself "total trashfire", narrowly escaped Noddy's Death Roulette, became a slasher villain, and had a nightmare about Oingo dying.
As for Pop, he's been doing random things since then, but he pranked Roxas with passionfruit spray. 6k2 wonders if Angel's song was secretly played before the season began, but the tape was already secured in the Weapons and Artifacts Storeroom. It's possible that Pop might've been influenced by someone else, and if that's the case, then playing the song in reverse won't work.
Meanwhile, Dupe joins Mimi in watching Fauna on the job. They both wave to her, and she waves back.
"Just a few more patients, and I'll be seeing you next!"
Mimi smiles and jumps up and down the window.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"

"Thanks for that, Ally. Although, to be fair, it was mostly her idea to go into the Arena," Dave says, gesturing to his girlfriend.
"Hey, you're the one who threw yourself with me. That was all you," Fira shoots back, elbowing him. The others laugh.
Soon enough, it is declared that Tabby's place is where it is. Dave's team and the mook squads following them all follow the portal summoned by Ally, all while they hope that 6k1 will soon recover.
Dave's Home Base
Hans continues to watch the season. He shakes his head, cringing at Roxas and Xion's increasingly maddening performance and the latter's death.
"Well, that's certainly something, alright. Boy, how they went down the slippery slope."
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
Kirby
The Database Library
While Zan and the others enter the portal, Magolor instead had Ribbon, alongside Kirby, Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, and Meta Knight, riding the Spacepod. They then use their "fast travel" feature to instantly arrive at Tabby's Base.

I was only manufactured in this timeline, so my information about the Original Timeline is extremely limited.
"I used to have assistants back then, but I had to leave them behind during the Great Destruction..."
While the others discuss about the presentation, 6k1 thinks of looking for her old assistants in her upcoming Voidlands trip besides her old Library. She also wonders about her first meeting with Magolor since he supposedly knew her for a long time, yet didn't message her until that incident. And of course, she knows not to time travel just to fix her mistakes.
She apologizes to Magolor for not helping him back then, then prepares herself for the next phase of the meeting: planning on the investigation at the café.
"Wait a minute..." She looks at the Tinker Knights. "Aren't you supposed to be in the Arena right now?"
It is possible that they were cloned. In all seriousness, 6001, you have a living duplicator as your assistant. You should have deduced that already.
