(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.

An eagle
Winter's End Basement
Billy continues his movement, following the group. He also gives his two cents by saying that he also supports leaving at least three or more, saying that having people posted outside to prevent any malicious forces from getting in through the entrance is important.
Then as he continues exploring, he hears something weird. Something like a footstep. He immediately orders his group to approach it, where they see a man. He runs away, but Billy and his group are quicker, with George eventually catching him. As the man panics, George calms him down. The man eventually introduces himself as Jasper, and tells his backstory and his explorations when asked.
Billy soon offers to have Jasper follow him and considering the nature of exploration, also offer him a job between Panem and the Multiverse once the investigation is offer. While Jasper doesn't trust Billy completely yet, at least he is assured that he won't harm him.
Once Jasper joins, Billy reaches where Kirby and co. are, and gets surprised when his Stand passively reveals that they are gone as it cannot detect them anywhere. Suddenly, Reimu also disappears into thin air, surprising everyone present.
The Dimension
Reimu finds herself teleported into the same dimension Kirby, the Chosen Four, and others are in. She immediately gets into the battle when she sees the monster, as well as how it's hostile, making a snarky remark at it before starting to fire danmaku while flying at the monster to assault it with her purification rod.
Eagle's Hawk Corporation
Billy's Clone is still in his office, working as the CEO for this period of time. After dealing with corporate duties for now, the clone looks at his data of Panem to reveal that a new nominator has emerged. The clone soon runs a quick background check into the nominator to research about them, finding out quick data that Panem knows about the nominator. It's not that much, but it does give Billy basic ideas about them.
After this, he looks at the Arena feed to reveal that the data clones of Linda and Lupus, refined from what Chris and Dr. Fvearniyx learned about the Cirno data clone, were both killed before they could reach the podium. He immediately let out a small sigh at how he is missing the Battle Royale in a row, and reminisces a bit about how Red from the Angry Birds Movie universe could had been a podium finisher, and Ceylon could had at least be third or more. He then thinks that Yoon Se-ri and Hung were consolation prizes for him, before returning back to work a bit more.
Once he is done, he thinks of going to the Tribute's Village to meet Arcturus again. In his mind, he feels sorry about how he is not there for majority of Arcturus' puberty process. So far, Dr. Fvearniyx and his workers, as well as Sancaka have been the one handling him in his rampage, where the clone hears reports about how Arcturus doesn't just eat random objects, but also fires concentrated laser beams and exploding bullet orbs that deal even more damage than Mimi's beams, as well as having especially sharp and durable claws that apparently cut through the steel used in the buildings. It doesn't help that Arcturus apparently has a lot of muscle strength too from what the advanced sensors detect from him. Finally, apparently when threatened, Arcturus also secretes some kind of toxin that will temporarily paralyze anyone who touches him while inflicting a pain equivalent to being shocked in the contact area.
The clone soon makes the journey, walking out of the gold-colored room into a portal pad, where he teleports to the village.
Tribute's Village
In the village, Arcturus has just been calmed down again. As his collar works again in an attempt to restrain him during the rampage, it also disciplines him by giving him a small, but unpleasant and general pain.
He soon complains, "Agh. Please get me out of this device." Dr. Fvearniyx then says to him, "It is necessary to control you." Sancaka then agrees with the doctor when they all witness Billy's Clone appearing from the portal pad inside of a building, which got partly wrecked by Arcturus' rampage earlier.
Arcturus soon shouts, "Billy. I miss you!" The clone then walks into him and hugs him while smiling, showing a relatively uncommon, openly compassionate side to him, considering his usual stoic appearance. Fortunately, the clone is not hurt at all because Arcturus doesn't secret toxins for him.
The clone then says, "I am so sorry for not attending to you often, Arcturus. During your puberty, I have been reflecting on how I treated you all this time, and realized that I should had spent a bit more time with you. From now on, I will dedicate my time to care for you until you have matured. Finally, I have to remind you that I am still willing to discipline you if you go on a rampage like that again, because I love you like you are my child. I know this usually happens to your species, but I feel that as a sapient creature, you can resist the urge. You can do it Arcturus. Remember that you are supposed to have a disciplined code. So, promise me that you will grow up." Arcturus soon feels peaceful from this, understanding what Billy means. He then replies, "Thanks for your words, Billy. You are like a father that I used to have. From now on, I'll keep your promise in mind."
As everyone present, including some of the tributes who have time to visit the village, also smiled at such wholesome scene, they are unaware of a diabolical conspiracy involving the prison far away. Indeed, there is a satellite orbiting the planet, Faradiso, but it is temporarily down. It will take few minutes for it to be repaired, and this unfortunately will give time for the GoldenEyes to be placed and activated undetected.
Gensokyo
Marisa and the Three Fairies of Light, who actually care about Cirno in this moment, eventually manage to calm Cirno down. As she starts to feel ok at least, Yukari arrives at the shrine, alongside Sanae, Sakuya, Youmu, and Reisen during the night.
Accompanying Yukari is her shikigami, Ran, who has just finished working in Remilia's maid cafe. Ran's shikigami, Chen, also follows Ran to the place. Yukari immediately says, "So, I have something that I want to reveal to you about the universe. I'm sure you'll find it interesting."
Everyone gets interested as Yukari continues, "So, I've been working on a way to allow our universe to access the Multiverse without having to rely on that man. After my shikigami Ran, Kanako, Eirin, those two Lunarians even, and other genius were kind enough to lend me help in doing the calculation and forming to the system, I can now introduce a way for us to travel into Panem and other worlds ourself."
Everyone is shocked by this surprising news. Meanwhile, Cirno doesn't feel anything as she is still sad about Carlos, but she does ask, "Hey Yukari. Can you allow me to see that chill boy?" Yukari then says, "Hohoho. I'm going to say that I've actually seen what happened to him myself. Basically, I simply opened a gap far away to see his rescue. Don't ask me how I know in the first place, but this is my power. Anyway, everyone never notice my presence as I just sit back from my void."
"So, I'm guessing you want to meet him right? In this case, I can grant you that, ice fairy. Your tragic story brought me to tears, and I want to conclude it." Yukari soon leads everyone, including Cirno, to one of the locations. It is on top of the Youkai Mountain, near the Moriya Shrine. After going through the cable train that Kanako constructed few years ago, which also happens to see a busy day earlier from both the locale and the Outside World tourists, the group arrives at what seems to be an empty space. However, Yukari chants something, with Sanae figuring that one part of the chant seems to be a complex coordinate, causing a portal to suddenly appear.
"This is the network that I mean. These portals are scattered across Gensokyo and other realms, such as the Netherworld, Hell and it's former version, the Lunar Capital, and even the Animal Realm. They all lead to multiple destinations that are located outside of our universe. So, now let's go to Panem. I'll take my shikigami alongside Cirno however." Yukari says. She soon goes into the portal with Cirno to where Carlos is. Marisa and the Three Fairies of Light also decide to tag along, while Yukari is also excited to meet Sans in the Arena even if it's brief.
Just an eagle. (Feel free to PM me if you want to talk to me).
Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
Winter End, Basement
The white trio and the turrets listened to Ally's advice and prepared to leave.
Suddenly Giegue groaned and dropped on his knees. He started to hyperventilate as he held his head and shut his eyes.
"Graahhh..."
"Giegue? Is that..."
Inside Giegue's mind, the alien found himself unable to get up as the area shook violently. However, Niiue was at his side, a gentle blue light engulfing both as the background was shifting to an ominous red.
"It's trying again. I don't know why here and now, but don't worry. Hold my hand, this shouldn't take long this time to send it back to sleep if we do this together." Giegue's good alter-ego said in a reassuring tone.
Giegue felt exhausted but nodded. He took a deep breath as he took Niiue's hand. Both raised their free hands towards the red sky as cracks appeared on it.
"P... P... P... P... Po..."
''"S... S... S... S... SsSsSSSssC..." eery voices tried to mutter.
Giegue and Niiue concentrated as the area shifted again. The blue light turned white and engulfed everything, blinding Giegue. He soon found himself back to reality.
"Giegue! Hey!" Mewtwo exclaimed with Ori next to the alien's face.
"I'm fine..."
"It was it, wasn't it?"
"Yes... But I'm good now. Let's keep searching for clues, now." Giegue reassured.
Battle
Platform 1
Aaron ran towards Scipion and the two's weapons clashed. Scipion violently slashed at Aaron with his trident while the Lucario was defending himself with his Aura bone, trying to read his opponent.
"EYAHAHAHA!! We both know I'm physically stronger than you, dipshit!" Scipion exclaimed, knocking off Aaron's bone before slashing his trident at the Lucario. Aaron screamed in pain and almost fell out from the platform, but he quickly got up.
Scipion was fast and immediately teleported near him, clawing at Aaron with Fury Swipes.
"This too easy! Training, my ass! You're just as pathetic as ever!!!" he boasted.
Aaron roared and he swapped at Scipion's face. The Zoroark shrieked and fell on the floor. Aaron got ready to attack again but stopped as Scipion used his power to "turn" himself into a desperate version of Lucian.
"Aaron... Please...!"
Aaron stopped for a second, hesitating to attack. "Lucian" secretly summoned a Dark Pulse. But Aaron saw it just in time and summoned an Aura Ball as well. The two attacks collided, sending both Pokemon to the opposite sides of the platform.
"You son of a bitch! You don't know when to give up, don't you!" Scipion roared, his mane messed up.
"I won't give up this time." Aaron answered, a half-smile on his face despite his injuries.
"YOU DARE SMILE AT ME WHEN I HAVE THE UPPER HAND?! YOU'RE DONE FOR!!" Scipion screamed furiously. But Scipion stopped in his track and witnessed in shock as Aaron concentrated, turning into his mega-self in blue light.
"... A Mega-evolution? I thought only stones were able to...! Ugh, you're even more ugly in that form, you wretch." Scipion spatted, disgusted.
"Trust me... You'll hate it more." Aaron warned, opening his eyes.
Platform 2
Tokage jumped towards Morgan, attempting to slice him using Leaf Blades. The Morgrem smirked and dodged the hit before summoning a portal. Once in a safe spot, Morgan cackled as two clones appeared next to him.
"You know, this isn't quite fair." Tokage said sarcastically.
"Only now, you say that? Do I look like the kind of guy who plays fair? Of course not! Up to you to show that your precious determination can overcome that!" Morgan taunted before the trio attacked Tokage. The Grovyle was quick to cut the two clones down before unleashing an energy ball at the third one. Much to his shock, what he thought was the real Morgan poofed.
He heard a familiar cackle. Morgan's hair went right through his chest. Tokage growled as he coughed some blood.
"Don't tell me that's all you've got!" Morgan boasted, approaching his opponent, grinning. Tokage tried to use Giga Drain, but Morgan used a portal so that the Grovyle would be affected by his own attack, losing even more energy.
"Grr..."
"You know the consequences... You're mine now!" the evil Morgrem cackled, thinking he's won, ready to torture Tokage with his hair.
Tokage clenched his teeth and caught Morgan's hair in time and pulled them towards him. Morgan was propelled in his direction and Tokage used this opportunity to slice through Morgan's arm.
The Morgrem shrieked, holding his wound while Tokage slowly got up, his hand on his chest.
"I will not play along with your game, Morgan."
He frowned when Morgan's screams turned into loud cackling. The Morgem got up as well, a demented smile on his face. To Tokage's shock, Morgan ripped off his injured arm himself.
"That arm is useless now... This... This is what I've been waiting for! This pain is amazing!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!"
Tokage backed down as Morgan stopped laughing.
"My congratulations! I got too confident here. Too bad I can't torture you then... I'll simply kill you instead." Morgan said, summoning a portal right in front of his wound, connecting to his veins so that he wouldn't suffer blood loss.
Tokage took this opportunity to heal himself with a Oran Berry he took earlier from his bag while Morgan was preparing his portal. But one single apple accidentally got out.
Platform 3
Alex was the first one to move, giving Onox's slowness, and used Fire Punch. Onox growled as Alex punched him in the face and attempted to grab his tail. Alex noticed it and he slammed his tail against Onox's head, slightly burning him.
"Pissed off already?"
"That hurts!!"
"That's what an attack is, dude!" Alex mocked.
Onox roared as he used Thunder.
"Aha! Missed! Can't catch me!!" Alex mocked, overconfident before using Flamethrower on the Toxtricity. Onox only got a few burns from the attack, but that was enough to anger him a lot.
"That's mean! I'll crush you!!" Onox yelled. He charged at Alex, using Giga Impact.
Alex couldn't react in time was sent flying on the second platform.
"Alex??!!"
"Hey there... I guess the dude learned what an attack was, hehe..." Alex muttered dizzy as Onox launched himself towards the platform.
"Hey! Can't you see we are busy?"
"He punched me. I'll punch him." Onox grunted. To Tokage and Morgan's confusion, he and Alex stopped and stared at the apple.
"MINE!"
"MINE!" both yelled as they started to fight over the apple. Tokage and Morgan looked at the scene, dumbfounded.
"Well... I didn't expect that..."
"I guess there's nothing wrong from having a more light-hearted moment in this little fight." Morgan said amused, raising his shoulders.
"Whatever..." Tokage sighed, having finished healing before resuming his fight with Morgan
Underground passage
"Are we there yet?" James asked.
"Yeah. Around 5 minutes and we should reach the surface." Arthur answered.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. The duo prepared to battle. But then out of the shadows, a single, wild Mimikyu appeared.
"Oh... It's just a Mimikyu... It doesn't look harmless, so we should just leave it alone." James said, expecting Arthur to agree with him. When he looked at him, however, the Decidueye was starring at the Mimikyu, eyes wide open.
"Arthur? Hello! Arthur!" James interpellated, waving his hand right in front of Arthur's face.
The wild Mimikyu was intrigued by the pair and slowly approached them.
"STAY BACK!!" Arthur yelled at the small Pokémon as he prepared to shoot his arrows. To James's surprise, his wing was trembling and he somehow kept missing. That wasn't enough to scare the Mimikyu away.
"DAMNIT JAMES!! DO SOMETHING!! HELP ME KILL IT!!!"
"But it's just a Mimikyu! This one seems harmless so-"
Arthur shrieked and jumped into James's arms. The Inteleon was struggling to carry his terrified lover.
"What-What is wrong with you??" James tried to say.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!! THAT'S A FUCKING MIMIKYU!!!"
James looked at Arthur, incredulous. But then he remembered about how those who dare to witness Mimikyus's true appearances were scarred for life. Did Arthur...?
"Well, well, well... How the tables have turned..." James said, smiling.
"STOP PLAYING AROUND FUCKING DAMNIT!!!" Arthur screamed.
"Do not worry my fellow companion! I, the great James, will save you from this... Pokémon!" James proudly exclaimed, walking towards it.
"WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK ARE YOU DOING???!!!" Arthur screeched, paranoid.
James walked by the Mimikyu. The Pokemon slowly turned around, watching the Blue Wings getting away before leaving.
"See? Everything is alright. Of course, you don't need to thank me. Consider this as a repayment." James proudly said as Arthur got back to the floor, before muttering "My goodness you are heavy..."
"Thanks... Sorry for behaving and swearing like that... That crap scared the shit out of me." Arthur said, ashamed of his reaction. James kissed him on the cheek, surprising him.
"You don't need to apologize. Especially compared to how I act when I am scared. I must say, I truly didn't expect that from you" James said, bowing before giggling. Arthur giggled too.
"Well, we shouldn't be too far now... Come."
Unknown location, Mystery Dungeon World
Freyja slowly came out of a buried cave inside a volcano, bruises all over her body. That didn't bother the Blaziken. She had a strange red stone on her hand and gazed at it.
"...One down..." she muttered.
"ONE TO GO..."
"ONE TO GO..." two powerful voices growled in her head.
The Ember empress sighed, her eyes burning in a mysterious light, as she disappeared into flames.

Light and Hope
The Winter's End, Outside
It's starting to rain outside. Sensing an approaching storm, the droids immediately activate an emergency protocol established for them before the mission. They all head inside, but head no further than the entrance of the cafe.
The Winter's End, Basement
Dave and co. watch Giegue in concern. But soon enough, he declares that he's fine. With his reassurances, they continue their search.
Mysterious Labyrinth Dimension
Battle Theme: Kingdok Hearts III - Boss Battle Theme III (Vs. Titans and Kraken)
The five soon enough encounter the main culprit, and other creatures.
"Oh, by the gods, there it is. Ready?" Link asks the original Chosen Four.
"YEAH!" they reply, as the five charge into battle.
Link uses his arsenal of weapons to fire away at the big bad monster and its companions. Arrows, bombs, bombchus....
Ninten and Ana work together, the former supporting the latter as she offensively attacks with her PSI. The boy also uses his bat to swat away closing enemies.
Lloyd fires away several of his personal bottle rockets, while also using his other inventions. Teddy, meanwhile, resorts to using his knives and fists, like a true former thug.
The Hidden Dimension, Meeting Room
"Preparations complete. The transports and the satellite are now close to the planet Faradiso. Now where is that Yami?" Darkseid bluntly says.
"He's gone ahead first, placing the bombs at the power plants for the prison and the village. He should be ready now, though."
Earlier, Tribute's Village
Unbeknownst to anyone in the vicinity, a threat looms out of sight. Yami, hidden from sight, forms up a legion of black demonic shaped shadows, similar to Dr. Facilier's Friends on the Other Side's shadow henchmen. With four EMP bombs at hand, the shadows then head away to plant them at the power plants on the area.
With the shadows of the area hiding them well and expertise in stealth, the henchmen are able to place two bombs in each power plant, armed and ready. They then return to Yami, who reabsorbs them before leaving for now.
Present Time, Above the Planet
The transport ships, carrying several squads of Snowclones and Parademons each, arrive at the atmosphere. Yami appears inside one of them, which carries the GoldenEye satellite they will be using.
"It seems one of their satellites is down. That should give enough of a distraction."
The transport then deploys the unarmed satellite, and begins their descent into a hidden open area close to the village. Yami sends a signal to the Hidden Dimension to prepare the weapon now.
The Hidden Dimension, Control Center for the GoldenEye
Scientists are working about, busy monitoring the weapon's progress.
With Yami's signal received, Father takes something from the unlocked vault: three keys, two golden small keys and a large rectangular cartridge that housed an optical disc and translucent golden gem— the master key. He gives the golden keys to two scientists, then inserts the master key into the slot at the cente of the arming console. The scientists then insert their keys into their respective slots on the left and right of the console.
"On my count. Three, two, one, now."
At "now", the small keys are turned, activating the targeting system. A large computer activates, showing coordinates of worlds across the multiverse. Father then sets the screen coordinates to Faradiso. The map of the planet appears, and two curved lines.
"Setting the coordinates to Faradiso, Tribute's Village."
One of the scientists enters the coordinates, and a dot showing the location of the village appears on the screen, and one of the lines begin to move until it aligns with the dot.
"Arm the weapon."
The right scientist enters a pre-assigned firing code, then the left scientist opens another compartment, and turns the trigger switch, deploying the satellite from its covers. The right scientists enters a few more codes to fully arm the weapon.
Weapon armed. Time to target: four minutes.
Exactly as planned, then. Four minutes should be enough for them to land.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."
Braids From S286 Not Included
The Winter's End, Basement
Ally receives Susie's message and gives her the team's coordinates. She then greets Jasper, checks if Giegue's okay, and leads the team deeper into the basement until they reach the monument. Before she could scan it and explain it to the others, she receives another message from 6k1 that it has started raining.
After we carefully search this room and pay respects to the fallen staff members, we should either take shelter in the sleeping quarters until the rains have stopped, or search for tunnels that will lead us directly to Neon Quarters. We still have to keep watch for those who have suddenly disappeared.
Tabby's Base
"Well... I didn't pay much interest to those kinds of witches until Tabby's presentation, but that's a likely theory."
6k1 then writes to 6k2 that the Sayaka Mission has been going well so far, other than Dave, Fira, and Tabby's respective encounters and the sudden disappearance of some of the rescuers. She also tells her that she's alright after Pop killed her back in Season 113 and that she'll join the others at Neon Quarters. She then gets a call from Claire and tells 6k2 about Carlos before double-checking the letter and sending it her way.
Ponhenge
At long last, Cirno and her friends arrive via portal. Carlos smiles and gives her a hug.
"Where have you been?" he asks her. "I was so worried about you!"
He tells her about his experience both during and after that season while Sans waves to Yukari. After a little more bonding among the BPC members, it's time for them to part ways, and Claire has Perri summon the portals for them.
"well then, enough horsin' around for me!" says Sans. "see ya!"
"And I hope we get to hang out for real one day!" Carlos says to Cirno. "And here's my number if you wanna call me! I'm sure your world's technology will be able to connect with my big bulky phone!"
Power then sees the others off before turning to Claire.
"I know Miranda will reprimand me for coming home late, but can you please take me to where 6k2 is right now? I just realized that I missed the last season, and I also want to check on her."
"Alright then, Power, and don't forget to return the Voidlands suit to us."
She calls Perri again to input the new coordinates for the pony while Power hides behind a rock to remove her suit and the scientists retrieve the artifact replicas and pack up themselves. Once everyone's ready to go, Power and Carlos say one last goodbye as they go separate ways, the portals closing after everyone has left.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
It's over.
Elliot closed his ears and eyes as the sound of the deafening explosion reached him, doing substantial damage to the building and everything around it. When he opened, he saw the base was definitely broken, but not beyond repair.After clicking a couple rocks near his ears to check for damages and healing them accordingly, Elliot gave off a sigh and walked into the base, curious.
Up in space, Elliot Sigma watched as the xenomorphs, now with the utmost confusion without a queen or anything close, tore each other apart. After a couple moments, he put his paw on a tensed up Aster’s shoulder. "It's okay," Elliot Sigma said, "It's over."
"Uhhhhh,, right," Aster replied, ”Glad I could help.”
Elliot Sigma nodded and walked back to his room, sighing as he lied on his bed. At least he helped a little.
The situation with Rosalina would be resolved elsewhere. Sometime a few days to a few months later, something… happened to the universe they hailed from. When Rose, Violet, and Aster checked it out, they found something they couldn’t comprehend and were changed with the reset of the Universe.
But that didn’t happen yet.
First, Elliot had a wish to make.
The extra-multiversal cat walked down and through a series of broken corridors, noting in the room with the balls the empty, husky armor of the Vixen Goddess.
He couldn’t help but sigh, knowing the fox he was influenced to love was dead. He was at least grateful she didn’t do more to him.
Turning the armor over and exposing the last ball, he arranged them in a… somewhat wonky circle and called the name he remembered from researching the Dragon Balls.
"Shenron."
In response, the balls glowed with an amount of intensity Elliot was a little taken aback by, but nothing he hasn’t seen before. The already charred facility was broken by a large chinese dragon that Elliot could only gaze in awe at.
For a moment, he forgot what he was about to say, but he shortly cleared his throat. "You know why I called you, sir, I want to ask you for something," he said.
"And what might that be?"
"Come with me. I want you to understand."
He created a portal- a spring-green ring of magic wider than the base itself was. It was also a vacuum, which was made clear when the rubble and the broken walls began to rise into it. Elliot quickly flew up and through, while Shenron followed. Elliot closed the portal behind them, surrounding himself in a case of oxygen as he did so.
Ruler of Everything
Telling
Selena seats the three at a table. While Selena is busy serving other patrons, Charlotte tells Cassiopeia something.
"Hey, Cassie! You were the one to first join the Rescue Squad before me! Do you have a story on how you met Luna?"
"Yeah, I’m sure you two are interested."
"Ooh, great!"
FLASHBACK - The Greeting
A Skitty is seen walking down a village road. A timid Eevee is seen latching to a Espeon's front legs.
"Come on Cassie! You know I can’t protect you forever!"
"I know but it’s hard."
The Skitty looks at the two and puts her paw up.
"Hey, do you guys need any help here?"
"My little sister is just very needy, that’s all. Say, who are you? I’ve never seen you from these parts."
"My name is Luna. I’m a Pokemon who has recently branched off a Rescue Squad and looking to form one myself. Say, is your sister interested?"
"Thank you for your offer,Luna. Unfortunately, two normal types can’t be the core members of a rescue squad."
"Ah that’s okay, this Eevee seems like she wants to evolve as I can tell. It won’t be a long time but I can stop by to visit."
"Yeah it’s true! You’re like a psychic Pokemon,hehe."
Luna takes out a Water Stone out of her bag to present it to the two.
"Thank you for that but I know Cassiopeia doesn’t want to evolve into a Vaporeon. She’s actually looking for something different."
"A Lunar Ribbon to be exact! They’re super rare where I live and it would a miracle if someone gave one to me!"
"Ah, when I’m exploring by myself sometime. I look out for that just for you, Cassie."
"You’re so kind, Miss Luna! Here I’ll give a gift to you."
The Eevee goes inside of the house and brings back something wrapped in cloth and puts in front of Luna. The Skitty opens it up to find...a Moon Stone?!
"EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I WANTED THIS! THANK YOU!"
"Thank you, I stole this from a shop! Maybe I am a true Dark Type at heart, heheh."
"That’s not necessary."
She wraps it up again and carries it.
"Well, I have to go soon or my boyfriend would be mad at me. See you later!"
"Bye!"
A couple of months pass and Luna, now a Delcatty, comes with something she snagged off of the Mission Board.
"Hey Luna, what’s so important that you had to bang on my door?"
"I found a rescue mission of a young Hattena separated from her mother. Here’s the catch, the reward for it is something big."
"A Lunar Ribbon?"
"Yes it is! I knew you’ve guessed correctly! Do you want to attend with me to learn the ropes of being part of a Rescue Squad?"
"I don’t think that would be -"
"OH HECK YEAH!"
"That’s the spirit! Come on, let’s head to that cave where she was last seen."
Cassiopeia waves goodbye to her sister and follows the Delcatty to a grove where the front of the cave is.
"Here it is, let’s go."
They enter the cave and go deeper and lower j into it. Cassiopeia has some practice fighting wild Pokemon.
Finally, they reach the bottom of the dank cave. They noticed a Dusclops tormenting a scared Hattena.
"HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!"
The Dusclops looks at her and scowls.
"Cassie, you shouldn’t have provoked it. Let me take care of this guy."
Luna uses Disarming Voice on the Dusclops to save her good super effective attacks for last. Cassiopeia bravely tries to use Tackle on it but the effect of it is resisted. She is then backed into a corner by the Dusclops.
"H-Help!"
"Ugh, Feint Attack!"
The Dusclops gets roughed up by this. Luna goes for another Feint Attack to finally knock it out.
"Man, that guy was weak to lose to a stinking Delcatty. Come on, let’s take the little one to her mother."
The two approach the Hattena to inform her that everything is alright.
"Say, what’s you and your mother's name? We want to tell her that you are okay."
"My name is Charlotte and my mother is a Hatterene named Gertrude. I’m fine but that Dusclops scarred the crap out of me! Please take me home."
They then leave the cave altogether. The Hatterene was happy to see her daughter back and gives the two what she promised to them.
"Gah, you’re a saint!"
She puts it on and smiles proudly.
"Let’s go to the Luminous Cave soon, okay Luna?"
"It’s a promise."
Present Day - Huh?
"Wait, you were the Eevee that saved me? I thought I dreamed about that!"
"Correct."
"That’s something you don’t hear everyday."

The Winter's End, Basement
Susie eventually arrived at the location of Ally and the others, in the deepest part of the basement. She says "Susie, head of Haltmann Works Company, at your service!". She also remarks that she's not sure if there's tunnels leading to the Neon Quarters.
The Strange Dimension
The monster, damaged from the attacks from Kirby and the others, then fires beams at Kirby and the others, as they continue attacking her. One of them hits Bandana Waddle Dee, sending him into the wall. Kirby then attacks the beast with his beams, being carried around by Ribbon.

Light and Hope
The Winter's End, Basement
The team reaches the deepest part of the basement. Dave and co. pay their respects to the fallen staff.
"I think it's best to stay in the sleeping quarters. I don't know if there's a tunnel heading to the Neon Quarters, and I'm sure some of us wanted to rest. Especially when the missing ones return."
"I agree. And there's also the prospect of an ambush. The tunnels would provide a sweet spot for the enemy."
The Mysterious Labyrinth Dimension
The monsters fire more beams. Unfortunately, Lloyd and Teddy are hit, knocking them into the wall. They hit the ground unconscious.
"Oh, no! Lloyd! Teddy!" Ninten shouts.
"They'll be alright! Concentrate on the monster!" Ana shouts. Another beam heads their way, but suddenly it explodes. The Hero of Winds appear, smirking. He's nocking a Light Arrow.
"Need some help?" Link asks, smirking.
"Oh, thanks."
The trio then continues their attacks on the monster.
Ponhenge
Link and Zelda happily greet Cirno and her friends. After some more bonding time, the time to part ways has arrived.... for now.
"Well, I've heard of these wise words: 'Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever.' So.... I'm sure we'll meet again. Good luck."
The two then bid their farewells as they enter their portal to their Hyrule.
Faradiso, Near the Tribute's Village
In a hidden open field near the village, the transport ships lands, out of sight. Yami checks the time of firing for the GoldenEye, as the Snowclones and Parademons brace themselves.
Firing in 5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1....
Above them, the GoldenEye satellite lights up, as the nuclear warhead begins its work. A bright light then consumes the satellite. A mark that the weapon has been fired. The satellite then surges with energy, before it explodes, having self-destructed as Father had said.
Down below, three EMP shockwaves erupt from the epicenter: the main power plant for the prison. The waves then spread until a thirty-mile radius.
Silence. Then, sparks appear on the main power plant of the prison, as the catastrophic levels of electromagnetic pulse do its job. Then, the village power plant, and all electronic and communication devices on the radius. Then, the power plants begin to explode, as does the devices. The great power of the EMP generated by the GoldenEye is enough to basically fry the electronics and the power plants. At the same time, Yami's bombs explode, further creating damage. If there is another satellite watching the village, it would see a flash of light before the EMP would temporarily disable it.
Meanwhile, inside the anti-EMP transports, the Snowclone/Parademon squads remain in waiting until the EMP's effects have fully subsided. Yami, meanwhile, goes on ahead to the prison unnoticed, knowing that everyone will most likely be distracted by the effects to see him.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Tabby gets weakened by most of the laser beams but she focuses her strength on hoping to slice the lower half of the creature in half. She leaps towards it, hoping to fulfill her goal.
"Take that!"

"Or even worse, expelled."

Akumo hears multiple explosions going off while he’s sleeping. He stands up from the floor to see what’s going on.
"What the hell is happening? I’m tired!"
He realizes the reason behind the loud noises.

Kirby
The Monster's Lair
Kirby and his friends are buffeted by both the beast's beams and its' minions' attacks. Nevertheless, they continue attacking. Eventually Kirby strikes a weak spot on the beast.
After he struck the killing blow, the monster screeches, flailing as explosions pop all over her. The scenery starts to distort and fade out. Eventually the monster vanishes.
The Winter's End
After the monster perished, Kirby, his friends, and the others are back in the hallways of the Winter's End Basement. At the place where the beast stood was a red crystal.
"Whew, that was weird." remarked Ribbon. "What was that thing anyway?"
"Don't know, but i have a hunch there's more of these things out there." answered Bandana Dee.
The crystal the beast left behind then floats and flies away through the corridor.
Outside the Winter's End, the crystal suddenly appears, flying at great speed outside and somewhere.
The Spacepod
Magolor sees the crystal shooting in front of the Pod. He suddenly notices that Kirby and his friends are back.
"Hey, what do you know? Kirby's back!"

The Wish
Beyond Elliot and Shenron was a star system, circled by two planets at the same speed and at the same distance."Believe me when I say I created this planet myself," Elliot said, "Which- I know is a little crazy. They're carbon copies of what a couple versions of the same one were before a battle ravaged them both and killed everyone on it."
He showed Shenron three images through mist- one of Dark Eldraseen and the Heartless overtaking Morth Alpha, one of higher beings ravaging Morth Sigma, and one of Elliot Sigma helplessly watching in a cage as his family turned to jade.
"And as impressive as I know this is, I can't bring their populations back on my own. However, I know you can. And that's my wish."
He floated in front of Shenron.
"I wish for you to bring everyone on those two planets back and put them on there. Please."
"I'll do my best."
The grandiose chinese dragon suddenly flew high above the star system, above the sun, and summoned the energy of the cosmos themselves, drawing in more and more power, creating more and more brightness until he suddenly disappeared in a white flash powerful enough to blind Elliot for a couple moments. When his vision returned, he saw the same two planets with no difference to them, but it felt like they changed.
As a result, he went to the surface of Victory Mansions and… He found out it worked. His old friend Ebony stood right in front of him, truly bewildered at the sky above and the grass below.
"Hey, Ebony," Elliot said, "Can you give me a moment, please?"
"Wha-" Ebony started before Elliot casually left with a portal… before returning less than ten seconds later with Elliot's starship, now branded MSS Dragon's Savior on the side of it. Ebony was more in awe when Elliot did this, parking the ship on the side of the yard. The cat then got out of the ship, walking over to Ebony and sitting down.
"How's it going, man?" he asked.
Reunion
At about the same time as that went on, Elliot Sigma looked upon the alternate versions of himself and his mate excitedly talking to each other. Rose, who was simply glad to be on a patch of grass again for once, noticed Elliot Sigma sighing before walking up to him,sitting down with him. "Hey," Rose said, "Why don't you go be with your family?"
"they're not my family," Elliot Sigma responded, "They're other versions of them I harmed. Besides, I don't think he could possibly bring back my own family. I'm alone. I always will-"
"Elliot."
Elliot Sigma looked at Rose.
"You'll never be alone."
Elliot Sigma gave off a sigh. "Whatever," he said, "I only helped you out because I knew the other guys were worse."
He opened a portal to the other planet.
"Besides, I know you don't really care about me."
"But-"
"I'll see you later, Rose."
"...I'll see you later, Elliot."
Elliot Sigma crossed the portal, closing it on his way out. On the other side was a forest he was familiar with, in a spot he was familiar with. Sighing and closing his eyes, he slowly began to doze off… before he heard the rustle of leaves behind him and a familiar voice speak behind him.
"Papa?"
Elliot Sigma looked behind him and, upon seeing Daisy, specifically the version he adopted, almost instantly teared up.
"Daisy? No- it's not real. You-"
Daisy hugged Elliot Sigma as tightly as she could. Elliot Sigma just... froze. A few meters away, he saw Ebony sitting back there, smiling.
Elliot Sigma suddenly broke into tears, hugging his daughter as tightly as he could and telling him how happy he is for seeing her alright.
Ebony sigma walked up to his mate and daughter, putting a paw on Elliot Sigma's face and causing him to set Daisy down hugging his mate and… just rocking there for a few moments. And then he heard... someone else. Someone far less friendly.
He knew exactly who it was, too.
"You know, you're too pathetic to let this last, right?" the dark, demanding voice of his old tormentor Dark Billy said, taking the form of the red silhouette of what barely even looks human behind the trees, "You know my influence has seeped far too deep into you. I can see it in your eyes. While my suffering by your paws will be endless, so will yours by my own hands. I hope you understa-"
"Shut up."
"What?" Ebony Sigma asked as the figure disappeared, "I didn't say anything."
"Right. Sorry," Elliot Sigma said as he broke the hug, "It's just... It's not you, Eb. I promise."
"Okay."
"...So why don't we do some things together??" Elliot Sigma asked, "The three of us can do like a family game night or go to a diner in space or something! And once Daisy's asleep..."
Elliot Sigma began to whisper something into his mate's ear that slowly made him blush.
"...Uh, wow. Okay," he awkwardly laughed.
"What did he say, papa?" Daisy asked.
"...Something about going out to watch a bad movie together," her father answered.
"...Okay!"
Elliot sigma found himself giving off a chuckle before looking at the two of them.
"So... where's our old home again?"

Tabby's Base
"I did? I could've sworn I've good attention to detail... And are you implying that Tabby would rather die to that monster than get—"
Magolor then tells 6k1 that Kirby's team has returned, and she relays this to the other team members. She also gives Tabby the coordinates when she comes back as well.
The Winter's End, Basement
The map did not have any secret passageways marked, so it is highly risky to try searching for them. And affirmative, we should all take a break and recharge our batteries (literally in my case) after this phase of the mission. It is unusual that there is still electricity even after this place was abandoned.
Ally then scans the monument and kneels in memory of the fallen. She tells the others the story of how King lost her best friend "Miss Kaname" to Markus, then was tortured by Williams, then lost her home universe and was whisked away to Panem, and then was rescued by Ribey.
The King in Yellow sought to give Turn Fortissimo a normal life because she was supposed to emulate an old friend of hers, "Miss Miki". Forte was a lab experiment done by Markus Hasselhoff to be a vessel for Sayaka's soul. The experiment, unfortunately, was a failure, so her original memories had to be erased before King restored her and hired her.
Ally gets up and opens her eyes.
Based on what we have found in our investigation, this used to be the old quarters of the nominator Mark Hassel, and it served as an arms manufacturer for the Snow regime. After his mysterious disappearance, some of his employees split off to form the Neon Quarters. The remaining ones renovated the main building into a café, but kept the basement intact so they could utilize its resources for their rebellion against the Quarters.
She closes her eyes again so she could process this in her databanks.
If this information is accurate, then the probability of the original Sayaka being found in Neon Quarters is 95%. We are getting closer to completing the mission. All we have to do is come up with a plan on how to travel there from our current location.
Ally then receives 6k1's message and passes it on.
Once the others have regrouped with us, we must fill them in on what they have missed.
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
Winter's End, Outside
The rain hardly mattered to the Cloud of Darkness. As for the turrets and GLADoS, it's been a long time since they have found a way to protect themselves from the rain allowing them to keep patrolling.
It was nothing spectacular though. It was just umbrellas attached to their bodies.
Winter End, Basement
The white trio listened to Ally and bowed their heads.
"So we are almost finished here?" Mewtwo asked.
"Well, let's rest here then. I think we should still try to search here for a tunnel leading to the Quarters before leaving that place for good."
"That and we'll need strength if the beings the Cloud of Darkness mentioned are still inside the Quarters." Mewtwo grumbled.
Ori nodded. He too, needed rest as his light was starting to fade. He didn't even know if it was night or day anymore.
Ori yawned and touched Giegue's leg. The alien sighed and took Ori into his arms to rock him. Ori soon fell asleep as Giegue quietly hummed a very personal lullaby. The alien sighed sadly, trying his best to not think too hard on the old days...
"... Sleep well..."
"We are not even into the sleeping quarters or joined with the others that he is sleeping. You're lucky I am here to watch for both of you." Mewtwo giggled.
Battle
Scipion was pissed off at Aaron's mega-evolution more than anything else. He remembered how Persephone warned him of his powers' limits. And he could feel that this fight was going wrong. His face was twisted with disgust and rage.
Aaron, in contrast, looked sternly, eerily calm.
"What are you waiting for? Bring it on." Aaron taunted.
"Don't you dare mocking me, Aaron..."
"Uh. What do you think I'm doing, then?"
Scipion snarled. He threw a barrage of Dark Pulse at his enemy. But Aaron deflected them all with his mere paws. Enraged, Scipion used Fury Swipes, but Aaron backed down each time, dodging them before punching Scipion in the face.
"Really? I'm starting to get bored."
"YOU WHAT??"
"You've heard me right." Aaron sighed.
Scipion stared at Aaron. His claws were trembling in rage.
That couldn't be.
In that form, he crushed him back at Panem. His new form was nothing compared to his.
So why won't he die??
"You... You stupid, vicious, punny, arrogant, whiny, worthless, miserable LITTLE SHIIIIT!!" Scipion furiously roared. Just like back then, a crimson aura engulfed the evil Zoroark, entering his berserker mode.
In an instant, he slashed at Aaron so hard he threw him off the platform. That was enough to stop the two other ongoing fights.
"YEAH BOSS!! CRUSH HIM! CRUSH HIM!" Onox cheered as Scipion jumped off the platform.
Luckily for Aaron, he grabbed a piece of rock before he could fall to his death and used it to launch himself towards a safe spot.
He realized how ridiculously fast and precise Scipion could be in that state. He had to act fast.
He channeled his inner aura, his mega-evolution allowing him to see clearer. He could almost guess the Zoroark's next movements. Scipion landed near Aaron and launched his trident at him.
Aaron roared back and used Iron Tail, sending it flying away.
"YEAH!! THAT'S IT!!" Alex yelled.
"SHUT UP!!" Onox roared back before the two started to argue again. Morgan and Tokage were silently watching the duel, with Morgan smirking darkly at every injury the two made to each other while Tokage frowned.
Both exchanged attacks with great ferocity. But unlike Aaron, Scipion's regeneration abilities made him gain the upper hand as Aaron became more and more exhausted. Eventually, Scipion screeched. His claws gathered dark energy, preparing to unleash his strongest attack, Night Daze. This time, he prepared to slam Aaron on the floor before unleashing his power.
Aaron reacted in time. He will have to counter that and somehow, prevent Scipion's healing.
"I..."
He looked at his friends... Maybe for the last time. If he failed now, it would be over.
"I can do this."
Aaron screamed, ready to fire a huge stream of Aura. An Aura Storm. At the same time, Scipion slammed at Aaron, unleashing his dark energy.
The two attacks collided as soon as their two hands collided. An explosion made of light and darkness engulfed Scipion and Aaron, blinding their teammates.
When the two attacks finally ceased, they could see the two bruised Pokemons, their eyes devoid of any energy.
Both passed out. Aaron turned back to his normal self... And so did Scipion, turning back into his original Zoroark form before the creation of Valecor. Immediately, their partners ran to their sides.
"...Holy crap..." Alex muttered, carrying Aaron on his shoulder.
"I'm honestly surprised. And would you look at that! Back to his old self!" Morgan laughed as Onox carried out the body of his boss in his arms.
"So... A draw... That means we can finish him here and now." Tokage growled summoning his leaf blades.
"You'll have to get through us first. We're tired, but so do you." Morgan pointed out.
"Grr... I would usually argue with that, But I admit I'm done for."
Morgan smirked and looked at the unconscious Scipion.
"Scips gave his all but it was a draw in the end. Using so much energy made him lose his new form... Don't be too happy though, I'm sure that the "mega" form he has is still somewhere inside him. It's just that he might summon that only to battle. Kinda like a standard mega-evolution."
"Come Alex. We have to heal Aaron. Know this, Morgan. This isn't over." Tokage grunted.
"Of course." Morgan spitted back.
Alex gave one last angry look at the evil team before leaving. Morgan waved at Onox and the Toxtricity followed him as well.
"He's going to be so mad about this..."
In the distance, Reshiram and Zekrom were watching the scene... with Giratina at their sides.
"In truth, both are formidable warriors. I can see why both consider themselves as enemies. Your adoptive son may be evil, but I have to admit he fought well." Reshiram muttered, a smile on his face.
"Hmph. So did the Lucario... We will need such strength in the future."
"What exactly are you planning, Renegade?" Zekrom growled, raising his hand to prevent Giratina from being any closer to Reshiram. Giratina looked at the black dragon with his usual cold look.
"That is none of your concern... yet."
"What about Lugia's pupils?" Reshiram quietly suggested, not very reassured by the tension between the two other legendaries. Both Pokémons stared at Reshiram and sighed.
"Those two? They are strong, but considering Lugia..."
"True."
The three Pokémons then felt something only they knew. A call from a familiar figure. They immediately disappeared.
End of the underground passage
A few minutes and the duo finally exited the cave. James gasped.
It was night time. They were in a green tallgrass with a shiny lake at the center. The night sky was particularly beautiful with stars shining brightly.
"Oh my goodness... It's... magnificent!"
"Glad you like the place." Arthur said, inviting James to sit down with him.
James sat down and sighed. Both said nothing, enjoying the beauty of the place, and looking at the fish-like Pokemons gracefully swimming inside the lake.
"...Arthur?"
"Yeah?"
James hesitantly leaned towards Arthur who smiled. Then, they both shared a kiss, a more passionate one this time. They looked timidly at each other and laughed.
"I can't believe that all this time, you hid that from me... You're really good at acting like a gentleman."
"Thank you... To be fair, I enjoy being one. And... I enjoy flirting with girls. I-I mean I could also have tried with men but..."
"Hold on. You were serious about that?" Arthur interrupted
"D-Don't get me wrong!! I am gay! It's just that I like flirting, nothing more!! I-If you want me to stop, I'll do it!"
Arthur giggled before kissing James's forehead, reassuring him.
"Relax. This our first date, you know? I have to admit... Seeing you flirting with so many girls... It made me a bit jealous..." Arthur admitted.
"Oh? Really? I... wasn't aware."
"That's okay. I'm fine with you being a gentleman and all, that's what your personality is after all. All I ask is to remember that... well... I'm near you."
"O-Of course!" James said, putting his hands behind his back. James nodded, smiling and they shared another kiss.
"I'm truly thankful to you... I... I never imagined that this would happen. We spent so many years together... It's so surreal... Are you sure it's not a dream?"
"Do you want me to pinch you and find out about it?" Arthur playfully asked.
"No!" James protested. Arthur laughed at this.
"I'm joking."
"That wasn't very funny." James sulked. He looked at the clean water and smiled.
"Hey... How about we have a midnight bath here? The water seems nice."
"Are you sure? It's night time, I'm pretty sure the water is cold."
"Oh? Well, that contribute to what makes a midnight bath special. And... I thought you were the stoical one." James teased, putting his head on Arthur's shoulder.
"Meh..."
"Besides, I am the leader of our team." James said in a sensual tone.
"That also means I have my words to say about it." Arthur replied, amused.
"Pretty pleeeaaase?" James said, mimicking a sad face.
"Aargh. I can't say no to that face." Arthur grumbled. James grinned in excitement and held Arthur's wing.
"Ah... Midnight Baths... How refreshing they can be... Truly, I love these! Fear not. I will show you how it's done." James said, stepping into the water a playful smile on his face.
Arthur shivered as the water was ice cold. But he quickly forgot about it and followed James.

Eventually, the monster is defeated, and the group is transported back, but not without a glimpse of an unfamiliar shadow.
The trio appears in the basement hallway. Lloyd and Teddy are still unconscious, however.
Dave and co. spot them.
"You've got to help them! They're unconscious!" Ninten calls. The Assassin Squad gets to work with their first aid equipment, and brings them to the sleeping quarters to rest.
Dave then tells the remaining trio of the current status. They nod in understanding.
Ori has already fallen asleep, it seems. They all chuckle at the sight.
"Oh, well, I'm also beat. That took a lot out of us, so I'm heading to bed also," the Hero of Winds say, yawning.
"Oh? I thought for sure you were doing nothing but sleeping, lazy bum," Richardson humors. Link pouts in response, eliciting laughter from the team.
"Anyway, how many rooms do we have? Just in case we need to share? The Assassin and Death Trooper squads will take rotating turns sleeping/recharging and patrolling for each, but what about the rest of us? I'm counting.... about thirty of us at this moment."
"Well, just in case we need to share, I'm sharing a room with him alone."
Richardson eyes her suspiciously. "Lady Fira, what are you planning to do?"
"Nothing. I just need to talk with my boyfriend privately."
"You know I'm standing right here, right?"
"Hush."
"I'd prefer being alone with Ninten, but I can sleep with Lloyd and Teddy too."
"Same."
"I usually prefer to sleep alone, but I think you two can take that room instead. I'll sleep with the unconscious guys."
"I intend to watch over them as well."
Dave eyes the two kids briefly. Oh well, they should know what they're doing. The question now is what is the thing that Fira wants to talk about with him. Clearly, it's something very personal.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Parallel Pecan rushes to the basement alongside many others. Tabby also returns as well a bit injured.
"That took a number on me. That stupid gumball dealt the final blow instead of me but we can’t change the past, can we?"
Parallel Pecan catches up with the group and jumps into Tabby's arms, excited to see her.
"Tabby! Oh man, what have you gotten yourself into?"
"Oh hi Parry! Nothing much except a encounter with a pretty lady and going to that weird witch labyrinth. Other than that, I’m doing fine!"
"Good riddance...Say, two of Ninten's friends look hurt. I’ve brought the medkit with me."
The topic of Rooms is brought up. Tabby goes ahead and shares her thoughts on the situation.
"For me, I would like to have my own room to myself with Parry. If I can’t have one to myself, I don’t mind listening to some old bluff snoring louder than a air raid siren."
"That was sarcasm for my neurodivergent peeps."
She goes down the hallway of rooms, counting each one on both sides.
"There’s around 22 rooms! My counting isn’t correct but do feel free to recount them again for me!"

"Thanks for making that clear, Tabby," 6k1 says half-jokingly, half-sincerely, also messaging her. She twitches her foot a little, checks the café's exterior, and sees the red crystal floating around.
"Magolor," she calls him, "please keep track of it."

Ally recounts the rooms and confirms that there are more than what Tabby counted.
They were all for the other members of the Rebellion. As for "checking in", I do not mind recharging in any of the rooms as long as they have fully functioning sockets, although I would prefer sharing Tabby's room.
Power's Art School
Paper and Blue cheer for Apollo when he goes to his podium. They hope that he comes back to school for more lessons, and also that more students would enroll here, as always. They then quiet down and prepare their lesson plans, but Paper speaks up after a while.
"Blue?"
"What is it, Paper?"
"There's something that I need to show you."
The art clone lifts the back of her smock to reveal the yo-yo scar on her flank.
"What is that?" asks Blue.
"This scar showed up when the Waterblight Ganon attacked 6k1 long ago. It's not part of my cutie mark, which my creator got when she discovered her talent for art."
Blue gasps a little. "Did Power also get that scar?"
"Yes. This scar was glowing a few seasons ago, back when you were in your bubble. And then a voice called to me, saying that someone going by 'Scattered Brain''s arriving..."
The Gem puts a thinking hand to her chin.
"Do you have any idea on who this 'Scattered Brain' is?"
Paper shakes her head. "All I know is that the Waterblight's working for them..."
"Whoever this is, let's hope that they don't destroy the school..."

Billy and his group continues following further into the basement, while awaiting for Reimu to return. Sure enough, she eventually returns back, completely fine. Reimu proceeds to tell stories about how she had to fight a weird monster that reminds her of Marisa, as well we other threats.
Soon, Ally asks about sleeping arrangement. After the group all finish paying their respects to the fallen, Billy asks for enough rooms to accommodate his tributes, his servant, and operators that he hired.
As the arrangements are being done, George reminisces to three years ago. He remembers that back then, Billy was a different person than he is now. He was once more ruthless in his pursuit for corporate growth and dominance. While he was nice enough to be courteous with fellow businessmen, he also pulled some technically legal, but underhanded tricks to claim other companies or ally with some, including the one Kayla used to work at.
He also recalled the time when he and Kayla were serving Billy his food for the day. Apparently, he was briefly interested by what the two would later recognize as the Hunger Games. However, Billy was more interested in business back then, so he just logged in a brief inquiry about joining the Game through a public message that the nominators could see and subsequently forgot about it. It would take two years before Billy found out about the Game again, but he had forgotten about his original message.
Ponhenge
Cirno responds to Carlos, saying, "Hey chilly boy. Also hey blue bones. I miss you all. I heard you'd turned into a pun youkai Carlos. I hope I could help save, and be with my friends back then, but Billy wanted to keep me safe." Yukari meanwhile also converses with Sans briefly, then hears what Cirno said, so she responds," Ohoho. I heard that news too. That human is worried about how this killing game will affect children in real life. I also heard rumors about him that he's also planning to edit the Game for children that he nominates so they will see it as an innocent adventure rather than face reality. Isn't this a great news?"
"I don't care for this. I'm just interested in that human. He seems to be very special, though Lady 6k1 and the other nominators are also special, like a certain shrine maiden and witch." Yukari says. Marisa hears the last part and says, "Ze nominators are special? Hah, I hope to prove em' wrong. I'll promise one day!"
As these two talks are happening, the Three Fairies of Light: Sunny Milk, Luna Child, and Moon Sapphire, all introduce themselves to the BPC members present. Immediately after this however, they start thinking of how to prank them one day.
Soon, the BPC members start leaving, so Cirno takes her leave too alongside Yukari, Marisa, and the Three Fairies of Light. Yukari does so not by using her gap, but by the same incantation, which returns everyone back to Gensokyo. Once they are back, Marisa returns to her house, while Cirno returns to the Misty Lake, the Three Fairies of Light decide to talk with another fellow fairy, Clownpiece, and Yukari goes to meet with Okina and Kasen about the new multiversal network.
Tribute's Village
Billy's Clone does feel something is off before the main attack is carried on. However as these feelings intensified, he does not have enough time to tell everyone before it happens.
Immediately, the EM Ps are fired. Even though the electrical system in the planet is magitek like in Kendor, this nature means it can still be affected even with magic. In addition, while the system does have an EMP defense system, it quickly gets overwhelmed by the sheer amount of EM Ps. This result in huge destruction in the place.
Immediately, Billy's Clone, Arcturus, and Dr. Fvearniyx and his workers are blasted away by an explosion of a hydrogen cell near them. Meanwhile, the power plant itself, which comprises of renewable energy components like solar panels, wind turbines, and fusion reactor, gets totalled. As the AI that manages it malfunctions, the nuclear reaction in it becomes uncontrolled, causing a huge explosion that blasts everyone even further as electricity floods everything in the village, causing more chain reaction that fries all electronics and communication devices, cutting everyone off from the outside world. The teleported pad also gets destroyed, while the ships are shut down, meaning they have no way to escape. Also, magic containers powered by electrical magic technology gets fried too, causing magical energy to leak out in dangerous amounts as the explode too.
Arcturus' collar also gets destroyed by the EMP, shocking Arcturus greatly. As he screams in pain from it, his body suddenly reacts in an unexpected way. He develops a crimson and magenta aura around himself as the electricity gets swallowed by Arcturus, before being released as a ball at a random direction, which happens to be the Snowclone army. After this, Arcturus suddenly becomes several times more powerful, while it also seems his appetite and rampage is uncontrolled in this state.
After Arcturus, everyone quickly wakes up. Billy's Clone's Stand automatically activates, unaffected by the EMP as it is spiritual in nature. Immediately, it relays data of the scale of destruction to the clone, as well as the enemy armies coming. The Stand soon gets into battle stance, ready to use its extremely versatile attacks at the armies. Fvearniyx meanwhile doesn't have much combat capabilities, but he does try to open a cube to pull out a magitek gun that can fire medical pellets which heal people in a splash radius while injuring enemies. Unfortunately, he quickly finds out that the EMP has temporarily disabled it for few minutes.
As for the tributes, there are actually only Marinette, Barry Allen, Sancaka himself, Jotaro, Josuke, and Jolyne at the time. They too immediately get into the fight, with Marinette still managing to find a hidden space to become Ladybug, while Jotaro, Josuke and Jolyne activate their respective Stands. Sancaka meanwhile can't change to his Gundala suit because he doesn't have time to do so, and the automatic change feature in his home in the village is damaged by the EMP. He does however absorb all the electricity that the EMP releases. As he takes a lot of them, he feels that he has become the most powerful he has ever been, even more than when he last fought in his homeworld.
Sancaka immediately rushes in at a very high speed comparable to the Flash. Speaking of the Flash, Barry is fortunately able to run and change to his hero suit quickly without any electrical device. The two then team up, circling the armies while picking the soldiers one by one with punches or ironically zapping them with electricity.
Unfortunately, the heroes are too distracted to notice that the prison has been broken by the EMP. In fact, the main power source for it has also been destroyed, leaving it with no power, while all the security systems and robots are disabled by the EMP to the point of permanent damage as their circuits are all fried. In addition, the magical side of the system also runs on magitek electricity, so that too gets fried beyond functionality.
From bad to worse, the villains on it also have their powers returned to them again after they have it nullified for months. As they are overjoyed by this, they find out that they can't escape yet because the doors still can't be opened.
In one section, Talulah starts to heat up her hands, taking care not to overexert her Arts as there is no originium around her, lest she dies from her oripathy. The Reunion Movement leader soon manages to destroy the hinges of the door with her heat, pushing the door to make it fall. Outside, she sees that most of the guards are either knocked out or killed by their armors being shocked and unable to resist the power of the EMP. Meanwhile in another section, an explosion blasts the door of Mahatma Gandhi and Jeff the Killer's doors inward, allowing them to escape. In yet another section, Emperor Palpatine simply blasts his ways out with the Force, while Slenderman just teleports outside and start ambushing the guards easily. Herobrine likewise does the same as Slenderman.
The other villains are still stuck in their cells, as their powers are not suited to escape or they don't get lucky with their cells being destroyed. Meanwhile, a handful more manages to escape, with Junko simply summoning pure danmaku to break the doors.

Kirby and co. arrive at where the others are. When they figure out the other's plans, Ribbon sincerely tells Ally and the rest that her group don't want to sleep in the quarters, but can instead sleep in the Spacepod.

Alright, you can return to the Spacepod, Ally says to Ribbon. Do not forget to protect yourself from the rain.
Flashback: Ponhenge
"So..." said Carlos, "the rumors WERE true..."
"Didn't you say that you felt that something was 'off' about her before the season began?" asked Power.
"Yes..." he said before turning to Cirno, "the clone looked like you, she acted like you... but somehow I felt that she WASN'T you..."
"maybe the clone had one tiny flaw?" asked Sans.
"Or maybe you have what I'd like to call 'friendship instinct'," said Power. "When you're good friends with someone, you start to care for them so much that you can even tell a near-perfect clone from the real deal by just looking at them."
"You think?" asked Carlos.
"Okay... I might've exaggerated a bit, but I'm just saying that you start to notice the little details about your friend the more you get to know them. And those little details are what make everyone special, even you. Am I making sense here?"
Yukari chimed in that the nominators were special people, too.
"Yes," said Carlos, "as my friends here said earlier, these flaws are what make us who we are, and they don't detract from our friendship."
Power and Sans agreed, the former reminded of the Mane Six's song they sang when their fans complained about their flaws. Yukari, however, also said that Billy would be taking further measures to protect his kid tributes.
"It's nice that he cares about you as much as 6k1 cares about me," said Carlos. "But she's just gonna wait for the right time for me to return to the Arena. I don't how long that will be, but it should be long enough for me to recover."
"She also nominates new tributes not just for diversity, but also to give the others all the rest they need," Power added.
"but sometimes she has to send 'em in earlier than expected," said Sans, "like me just before the last death battle."
"And while I still don't like the bad things that happen to me in the Arena," said Carlos, "I don't think she'll be replacing me with a clone anytime soon."
"why?" asked Sans.
"Because she wants to see how well I do there."
"Isn't she like that to ALL her tributes because she's researching them for her Database?" asked Power.
"Yes... and she'd feel 'robbed' if a clone of me makes the podium, like how I felt 'robbed' when I learned that the Cirno two seasons ago was a clone."
Power folded her ears and whispered to herself, "I knew it..." With this in mind, 6k1 might not take her advice to use clones to transition to the Simulator well...
She and her friends then bonded a little more before parting ways. As Claire and her crew packed up, she took note of the conversation the BPC had with Cirno and her friends. It wouldn't hurt for the team to begin researching about data clones in case 6k1 will use them after all, but they'd have to reallocate their resources if she doesn't.

"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
Léodagan, the Bloodthirsty
"Uuugh..." Scipion groaned, finally waking up.
"Took you long enough..." Morgan said as his partner got up, still dizzy.
"We're back here? What happened?"
"Well boss..."
"Take a look at yourself, first. Pretty sure you'll remember after that."
Scipion frowned and look at a nearby waterfall to see his reflection. He stared at it, shocked...
"...I look like a normal Zoroark again... What happened??!! Don't tell me I was defeated by-"
"Actually, that was a draw. But our dear Lucario was strong enough to make you lose that form." Morgan explained.
"...I remember now..." Scipion growled. He roared and slammed the ground in fury.
"That little bastard... He did it. He managed to beat me even with my amazing new form! AND I LOST IT!!"
"Stop whining already. You didn't "lost" anything, you damn cretin."
Scipion reluctantly calmed down and looked at his paw.
Yes...
He could still his "mega" form somewhere.
"You still have it and that regeneration power of yours with it. You're just can't use it outside of battle anymore."
"Grrrr... I'll make him pay for this... Dad told me he might reach my power level and he just did in the ugliest way possible." Scipion ranted. That technically wasn't a defeat, but the Rescue Squad managed to ruin his fun and make him pass out.
"Boss? You crushed him. Yeah, you... got crushed too... But you still crushed him!" Onox tried to cheer.
"Yeah, I guess..." Scipion grunted, amused.
"That fight managed to ruin my mood... Between that and the missed Battle Royale..." Scipion complained.
"Boss... What would cheer you up?"
"I'm not even in the mood to kill people... I dunno, maybe a fellow evil nominator to play with?"
"Uh? Like that other Zorua?"
"Ugh... 1, They weren't a true Zorua, that was just their nickname. Heck, I don't even know their gender! And 2, well now there's none!! That idiot didn't count because they wanted to destroy the world for some reason! I doubt even new ones would befriend a psychopathic villainous serial killer!" Scipion ranted.
"Isn't that funny when an evil nominator is around, there's always your species somehow involved with them?"
"Shut up..."
"Hmm..." Aaron muttered as he opened his eyes.
"Ah... Your friend is finally awake!" A Blissey nurse exclaimed.
Aaron saw the rest of his team, Proteus and Lucian.
"E-Everyone... You are all right!"
"Yeah. Those assholes were really tough. But man, you were even more bruised than us!"
"Oh... Is he...?"
"Alive, unfortunately. Your duel with Scipion ended with a draw and no one else could fight anymore. We had to let them go and retreat."
Aaron cursed under his breath.
"C'mon, don't work yourself up! You gave Scipion one of these lessons! I doubt he'll try anything stupid against us again!" Alex cheered up.
"Yes. You even manage to disable his "nightmare" form. I doubt he lost it, though."
Aaron said nothing and sighed.
"...I wanted this to end so badly... I know this wasn't a defeat but..."
"Forget about the Fox of Death. What matters is that you sort of defeated him. I mean... you guys did save the villagers he and his crew were going to attack!"
"Yeah... That alone would be enough to make him angry. I'm hoping that he would think twice about trying to kill people after that."
"Knowing the crazy bastard, I doubt so. But that'll make him think about crossing our path again." Tokage said, half-smiling.
"Yeah! You were A-MA-ZING in that mega-form! Heck, if he found it "ugly", that means it's even better!"
"That's true... Thanks for cheering me up, everyone."
James and Arthur had fun. At first, they were playing together, swimming or splashing at each other. Eventually, they both stopped moving and relaxed in the water, gazing at the stars.
Once they got out, Both started to shiver because of the cold. Fortunately, James planned everything and they quickly start a fire. They were huddling for warmth and seeking each other's comfort.
"That was fun..."
"I am glad you enjoyed it." James said, resting his head on Arthur's chest.
"Thank you so much for everything... You truly are the best companion I could have asked for." James muttered.
"You don't need to thank me." Arthur answered. They kissed each other again.
"You are so beautiful. So... splendid! So majestic..."
"Aww, we're doing this, uh? You're such a chic man."
"Teehee!" James giggled, cuddling with his lover.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Soon they fell asleep together, in each other's arms.
It turns out Giratina and the Tao duo were called to attend a meeting involving most of the important legendaries to discuss an unexpected and rather disturbing matter. Already in the room were Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, Reshiram, Zekrom, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde in its 50% form.
Giratina sat down near the corner of the room, with Yveltal near him. After all, they were amongst the most feared gods alongside Darkrai.
"Uh. It's been a long time Renegade..." Yveltal said in a rather uninterested tone.
"I see that you are still carrying that same... dark personality of yours."
"Yes. As usual, taking people's souls... Darkness... Whatever..." The goddess of death said in a depressed tone.
A familiar figure approached. Mew looked at Giratina and chirped at him.
"Mewtwo's presence won't be necessary here. Besides, your clone is already occupied at the moment." Giratina sternly said. Mew nodded, disappointed, and got out of the room.
The last one to come was none other than Lugia.
"Finally... You are late." Ho-oh scolded as his older sibling sat next to him.
"Sorry for the wait! I ha-"
"Silence." Ho-Oh whispered.
At the center of the room, Arceus appeared in a flash of light.
"I am grateful that you all came. I am unfortunately bearer of bad news... The red orb has been stolen."
"WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!!" Rayquaza roared in fury.
"Rayquaza, calm down. Getting mad will not solve anything." Arceus sternly said
Rayquaza growled in frustration.
"How could thisssss happen? We thought the red orb was guarded by ssssome of the mosssst fiercccesst Pokémon wariorsss, breed for thissss very tassssk." Zygarde asked.
"I, unfortunately, do not know... Every soldiers guarding the orb have been killed." Arceus, said, summoning an image of the thief.
"So that means someone has in their possession the key to awake Groudon... But for wha purpose?" Reshiram wondered.
"Power, perhaps? The orb by itself provides great power for the one in their possession. Whatever it is, this isn't good." Zekrom growled.
"Indeed. That is why we must use every way possible to get it back."
"My lord! My lord! What about the blue orb? Maybe the thief is also after it?" the cheerful Xerneas suggested. Every Pokemon in the room nodded at her suggestion.
"We need someone to protect the blue orb. It would be best if one of us were direct to be chosen for this task to assist the chosen ones guarding it. Rayquaza?"
"AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO, I CANNOT. MY PRESENCE WILL ONLY CAUSE THAT REBELLIOUS WHALE TO WAKE UP."
"I would have protect it. Alassss, we must watch permanently over the balanccce of the ecosssysssstem."
"Hmph. Everyone will somehow have a reason to not take this responsibility, I presume." Giratina dryly said.
"Heh... Nice one..." the Goth goddess grumbled.
"WATCH YOUR TONE RENEGADE... HAVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?" Rayquaza threatened.
"Such a ridiculous statement."
"Ssssayssss the one who ssssold hisss ssssoul to an entity of evil and rebelled againssssst hisss creator. Let ussss not even talk about your "sssson"..."
"Lay a hand on Scipion, you will regret it, miserable wretch."
"Well... I know it sounds rude but... How about you, Giratina?" Reshiram timidly asked, hoping to stop the tension.
Rayquaza and Zygarde stared angrily at Xerneas. Giratina closed his eyes and silently chuckled at Reshiram's attempt to calm things down.
"Thissss isss the Renegade we are talking about. He cannot be trusssted." the serpent hissed.
"I support Zygarde for this decision. Arceus may be on good terms with him, but we can't forget what he has done. We cannot give him such a mission." Zekrom added.
"Errmmm... I know you guys are busy with your stuff and all... Maybe I can give it a shot?"
Everyone stared at Lugia.
"You cannot be serious, Lugia..."
"How brave of you!" Xerneas naively exclaimed.
"Are... you sure about this, Lugia? You know this is a very important task." Reshiram advised.
"INDEED IT IS ONE. THE RED ORB WAS UNDER THE CARE OF MERE MORTALS THAT LAYS NOW DEAD AND AVOIDED MY FURY. IF YOU FAIL, YOU WILL STILL BE ALIVE TO FACE MY WRATH." Rayquaza threatened.
"Lugia isssss not a ssssssuitable choicccccce. We do not need to remind you why he had to build a new temple deep in the sssssea, away from other life formssss, your hignesssssss." the other green serpent added.
Lugia stared shocked at what Zygarde's said and looked at the floor, memories flooding back. He immediately forgot them and looked at Zygarde and Rayquaza with a determined look. He was sick of being treated as a joke.
"Listen. I'm like, 100% serious. I'm going to protect that orb, okay? I know I'm not the most competent guy in the world, but I can do this! My job is to guard the seas and make sure that the Cosmoem becomes Lunala. I can have my bird trio to take care of that while I'm protecting it until she's caught. And hey, I'm the freaking guardian of the sea!! I'm literally watching over Kyogre's domain already! So it should be my job!"
"We ssssuppose this isssss not the firsssst time you let your ssssubordinatessss replaccccing you." Zygarde mocked. Lugia was about to argue when Ho-Oh stopped him with his wing.
"Very well, then. I shall immediately dispatch Zeraora so that he can warn Zacian and Zamazenta about the situation. They will search for the Ember Empress. As for you Lugia, you must immediately go to the blue orb's sanctuary."
"Yeah... Thank you, my lord." Lugia muttered, bowing.
"This meeting is now over. Hopefully, we will get this situation under control as soon as possible." Arceus solemnly said. Everyone nodded.

Final
Akumo finally feels his powers coming back to him as everything is shut down. He sees multiple villains make their escape. He takes this opportunity to teleport back to his dimension.
"Finally I don’t feel isolated anymore unlike my mistress. Can’t wait to meet Noire again."
He finally arrives at his own dimension. Noire is surprised to see him and kisses him on the lips.
"Hey, I’m so glad to have you back!"
"I know, I missed you."
"Say, Rubyfrost has gave us a new assignment. We need to find a nominator to make a sacrifice to her so she can be freed."
"Why the nominators? They aren’t some special species or some shit! Is she making shit up again because of some grudge she has?!"
"I don’t know, okay! Goddamn..."
"I obviously want to sacrifice Tabby for her."
"Yeah, that’s the nominator she wanted me to sacrifice."
"Oh really? Where is she headed next?"
"I teleported to the Winter's End and was surprised to see Tabby there. From my speculation, she’s heading to the Neon Quarters next. Maybe we could ambush her."
"Yeah, that’s a great plan Noire. You know, I’m in a different type of mood tonight."
He whispers into her ear. Noire gets super anxious.
"I dunno, I’m not in that mood tonight. I kinda want to just cuddle for now. Besides, I have officially moved on from you in my romantic life."
"Heh, that’s ok but you’ll change your mood pretty soon since you’re female. Good riddance you’re not after my dick anymore."
"Now, what makes you say that you’re not interested in me? You found another guy?"
"Kinda? I had some weird dreams about a girl I like and I had to take the time to confess my feelings to her. She wasn’t grossed out this time."
"Well you are her so it’s not a surprise that you like girls. Come on, we can cuddle just this once."
"Oh thank you!"
Akumo opens the door to his room. He let’s Noire go inside first and then closes it behind him as he goes through it. They both sit on the bed. Noire sits on his lap, turns around to face him, and wraps her arms around Akumo's neck.
"Is this okay or we can just hug laying down?"
"No, it’s okay. I prefer to be the little spoon."
"Well, if anything makes you feel okay. I’m okay as well."
"Yeah..."
