HGS: Another Side Another Story (Open for Everyone)

Go To

(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

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.

Yes, I asked permission from Psyche to control Yoonji just for this post.

The Arena

Night 1

After the battle, the Bad Time Squad takes shelter from a thunderstorm by hiding in a cave. Much to Vriska's luck, Vandal approaches them and gives them copies of her armor that are conveniently designed for their bodies.

"No thanks," Vriska says to her, "I'd 8e 8urdened 8y its w8."

"hey, it doesn't hurt to have extra defense," says Sans.

"Fiiiiiiiine........"

After the Squad puts them on, Mother walks by and wonders out loud if Vandal shaved and cloned herself. Sans bursts into a fit of laughter while Vriska just tilts her head.

"........I don't get it."

Day 2

The Squad takes off their armor and continues resting in the cave to wait out the storm. While they discuss their plans for the night, Yoonji stumbles upon them and asks Sans if she can stay with them for the day.

"sure, just stay away from those two over there."

Vriska turns her head and glares at the newcomer.

"anyway, ya like jazz?" Sans asks Yoonji.

"No, but jazzing up a place is fine."

Sans laughs again. "nice one! and by the way, ya know min yoongi?"

"I think so... why?"

"cuz he's part of bts... and we also call ourselves bts! i think we should do a collab with 'em!"

Not far from him, Vriska facepalms and grits her teeth while Yoonji just looks at Sans with confusion and fear.

"I-I think I should go find somewhere else to stay..."

Power's Home

Power can't contain herself anymore as Sans cracks another pun. She also hopes that he continues to try lightening the mood for the rest of the season.

Papyrus and Sans's House

Papyrus makes a hearty laughter when Mother asked the same question as him when Asgore and Toriel reunited for the final battle. He still groans at the BTS pun, however.

Carlos's House

While D. A. snacks on some popcorn and keeps an eye on Vriska and Andonuts, Carlos and his dad laugh at Sans's BTS pun. Carlos also wishes that Mikey was here for said pun.

The Database Library, Entrance Hall

6k1 tries not to laugh too loud at the jokes, but goes "oh..." when Aladdin is washed away by the flood while bathing in a river.

"At least he wasn't tied up and thrown into it..."

She then sees Tabby arrive and tells her that she should send over other members of the Corps to help them, and that she's also planning to send Undyne there, though that might be subject to change. However, 6k1 doesn't realize that the Pokémon already left, but she reassures Tabby that she will be okay.

"I've never been to that hospital, but I'm sure Billy knows where it is."

The Database Library, Entrance Hall

"Wait, did you said Dark Dave? .... Huh. It's been a really long while since we all, me included, last heard of him. Remember the battle against those three Dark Nominators?

"And.... hang on, the message mentioned the Homunculi. Could Selim....?"

Fearing that Selim Bradley has returned to being Pride again, Dave decides to call Mrs. Bradley first.

The Fullmetal Alchemist Universe, Bradley Family Mansion

Mrs. Bradley is currently taking a rest, when she receives a phone call.

"Hello?" she asks.

"Mrs. Bradley? This is Mr. Dave."

"Oh, Mr. Dave? I wasn't expecting a call from you? Is something the matter?"

"You remember what Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, told you about your late husband and son being Homunculi?"

"Yes. Is there something important?"

"I fear so. But first, would you mind checking on Selim for a moment? Call me back when you're done. I have a bad feeling."

"Very well. I will check on him," she finishes before hanging up.

She then hurries to Selim's room. To her pleased surprise, Selim is still there, currently asleep; however, her happiness leaves her when she sees him shivering in his dreams, muttering something about "leave me alone", his face contorted in fear.

And it seems his condition has worsened to a fever.

It pains Mrs. Bradley to see her adoptive son like this. She walks up to him, and gently tugs him awake.

"Huh? Oh, Mother...." Selim says before crying into his adoptive mother's arms.

"There, there, Selim.... Everything will be alright.... You'll be just fine...." she says soothingly, while humming a lullaby favored by her son.

Soon enough, Selim returns to his sleep, but his fever remained. Out of motherly love, Mrs. Bradley takes a piece of cloth, warms it up with water, then places it on Selim's forehead as a compress. Satisfied with her work, she returns to her room and calls Dave.

"Mr. Dave? Selim is in his room; he's currently asleep. He was having a nightmare, and he caught a fever, so I soothed him back to sleep and made a compress for him. He should be resting for the rest of the night. Is something wrong?"

".... I see. So, it seems he's still his usual self, as you raised him after the Promised Day. You see.... A frienf of mine had received urgent news from another world. The message was clear: your late husband, King Bradley, has returned from the dead, now fully under his Homunculus identity of Wrath the Furious.... as does your son's Homunculus identity of Pride the Arrogant. The news that we've received imply that they both are still operating as of this moment, but if Selim's still here...."

"He can't be Pride, because the timing doesn't match up."

"Yes, I believe that would be the case. Somehow, Pride and Selim now both co-exist. I shall find a way to investigate this problem. But if you don't mind, can you please continue to take care of Selim as you do? I'd hate for him to recover his old memories; he most likely won't take it well, even if he is more level-headed and mature than most kids his (physical) age. And since the news are still not fully clear, please do not tell anyone else of this information until I notify you further. Especially not the Elric brothers nor the military; they absolutely cannot know this yet."

"I'll do my best to take care of Selim, and you can be sure that my lips are sealed."

"That will be all. Thank you for your help, Mrs. Bradley; we appreciate it," the Lord High Protector says before hanging up.

The Database Library, Entrance Hall

Dave hangs up his call, his mind still uneasy.

"It seems Selim Bradley is still his post-Promised Day self; unaware of his past as Pride. So that leaves him out of the equation. But how? How could Pride and Selim co-exist, and who was responsible for the Homunculi's rebirth? Could their Father, the original Homunculus, somehow found a way to escape his imprisonment from the Gate of Truth from whence he came?" he ponders aloud.

"And what role is my Dark counterpart playing in these recent events? What is he planning, anyway?"

Deciding to think of it later, he turns to watch the season. He's disappointed to find Sora, Donald and Goofy dying early (though he's still baffled as to how the boy was here, considering he disappeared after saving Kairi; that said, he supposes this trio came from a time before the battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, considering Sora's old clothes). And when the BTS pun is brought up, he just raises an eyebrow.

Link, on the other hand, snorted in amusement.

"Heh, good one there! I'm sure they'll find themselves ready if things get dicey."

Dave glares at him. "You know doing the same pun twice in a row is stretching it, right?"

"Okay, that seals it. Seal-iously. Besides, I defeated an ancient evil, I'm feeling a little stretched thin at the moment!"

To that, Dave facepalms. "That one sucks, you know?"

Link just grins. "Well, too bad. I'd tell you a vacuum joke, but we all know those kind of jokes suck, eh?"

"Thank the Maker none of the other Blue Pun Clan members are here right now; otherwise, I'm probably gonna be dead in a minute...." Dave groans to himself.

Panem, the Underground Tunnels

After Pride tells him and Wrath the neccessary bits of conversation between the Pokémon, Dark Dave dispels the barrier while Morgan and Onox prepare to summon their teleportation circle, allowing them to teleport out with no harm. He then turned to the two Homunculi.

   "Let's move. I'm starting to sense this presence as well, and its power.... it makes me feel so little in comparison."   

"What of this place?" Wrath ponders aloud.

   "Let us leave it be, and find another place to hide in. Our return and element of surprise have been compromised, and we cannot afford to lose the artifact we have gained,"    Pride replies.

"Hmm.... Perhaps we should. Besides, this other presence is making me unnerved, and I'll be more than happy to get out of its hide right now," Wrath finishes after some thinking, as Dark Dave summons Corridors of Darkness for them to leave the tunnels immediately, which the trio proceed to do right away, leaving the room they were in empty.

Flashback

Unbeknownst to the Pokémon, something else was listening to them as they had their conversation. Had they seen it, a shadow would have revealed the shape of a mare pony; however, her tail is instead that of a draconequus. The shadow listened to them as they talked, then left the room before anyone could notice it or its presence.

"Hey, Tabby, hold up."
Elliot hopped up and floated in place to garner Tabby's attention.
"I'd just like to say thanks for your effort. It really means a lot to me. I can't offer much in turn, but... I've heard you been poisoned in battle. That correct? I can help with that if you wish."

Let's be honest, YKE had a long day. Of course she wants to rest.

"Ah yes, I remember," says 6k1 when Dave mentions the battle before the funeral. "We were at the Kingdom Hearts Universe when that happened, right?"

He then speculates about Dark Dave and the Homunculi. 6k1's still wondering about them, too, but her train of thought gets interrupted by Link making his own puns.

"Hey..." she says to him, "you know that guy in blue who just made that pun? He founded his own club called the Blue Pun Clan, and I bet you can be part of it!"

Elliot's Help

Tabby leaves 6k1's room and focuses her attention on Elliot who was trying to get her attention about something.

   "You want to help me with my injuries? I appreciate it but I do have to politely decline. I know that I did a lot for you at the cost of me getting poisoned but you can do something else for me besides that. I'm only going to the hospital because of the injuries I suffered, not just mainly the poison. He removed it but I'm feeling the aftereffects. I swear I might turn into Onox's voodoo doll again if the Rescue Squad pissed them off."   

   "Now, if you excuse me, I need to talk to Billy to get directions to the Hospital. 6k1 told me a thing or two about the hospital."   

Tabby greets Elliot farewell and then goes to Billy.

   "Hey, sorry for annoying you again but can you get me the directions to the Capitol Hospital? Apparently 6k1 never been to the hospital you were in."

The Arena

The Game is now starting. Koishi first runs away from her sister, Satori, and tries to grab her along as the BTS or B Ts (though the former is more fitting) make their move. Dr. Andonuts swears like usual while carrying memorabilia related to his Magicant. As for Satori herself, the train trip actually was done before the Game has started. The recording is just shown now.

Then in the day, ADVENT Stun Lancer says that he loves poop, causing every tribute to chase him down. Satori, who has read his mind before, is disgusted by how he loves poop, while Koishi joins her sister. As for Dr. Andonuts, he screams, "IF YOU LOVE SHIT SO MUCH, I'LL SHOVE YOUR THROAT DOWN YOUR ASS SO YOU'LL SING BEETHOVEN EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A CRAP." After the chase, Satori decides to take a rest, only for her pillow to be alive and bites into her, forcing her to wake up. Meanwhile, one of the H.A.C.S. is removing a game cartridge slowly when mysteriously, Koishi begins to glitch and spin uncontrollably as she's near her sister. Then, the BTS fight three other tributes. Dr. Andonuts yells, "I'LL GIVE YOU FUCKERS BITCHKILLS MANY TIMES OVER." He soon transforms into a more powerful form as he glows purple and cats powerful attacks like PSI Bitchkill while singing Megalovania.

Then the night comes after the fight, with Koishi deciding to practice on how to walk over tightropes, while Satori reads a Sentinel's mind and discovers he hasn't turned his homework, so she reminds him about it. Meanwhile, Dr. Andonuts is with Sans and Vriska when they stand next over Vandal, causing Mother to wonder if Vandal shaved and cloned herself somehow.

The second morning soon comes. Satori decides to read the Dark Lord's mind and learns of his various atrocities. She soon beats him in a danmaku battle and punishes him by forcing him to stand in a box, but as Satori goes in an attempt to find her sister, the Dark Lord escapes. She walks in to witness Ruby Heart attempting to punch Koishi in the face, only for her to say that it's Opposite Day, so Ruby Heart hits herself instead. Meanwhile, the BTS asks Yoonji if she likes jazz, with Dr. Andonuts saying, "YOU! DO YOU LIKE FUCKING JAZZ? I LOVE BEETHOVEN!"

Database Library

Billy continues following again as Kayla gives the ball to the group. He responds as usual as he sees Arcturus continue playing with Mimi, while giving Tabby the direction to the hospital and even offering Kayla to portal her so they will be in front of it. The servant of Billy accepts, while she starts having a flashback to her life before she becomes one of Billy's most trusted servants/guards.

As for George, because Billy points out to everyone that he can't go there himself as he's still wheelchair-bound and recovering, George will have to go in there himself, alongside Sandy and Tsubakura. George obliges, and leaves for it. Billy soon ponders on everything that is happening so far, like the return of that crazed nominator in Panem, somehow evading the Peacekeepers, as well as Dark Dave's presence.

The Underground

Alphys will receive a response from Billy, saying that he has also told Asgore about the training, then says that Asgore approves of his Royal Scientist receiving it too. In the meantime, Patchouli and Nitori both decide to relax, trying to have tea and cucumbers, only to be disappointed when it turns out the menu is something like steak with Mettaton's face on it, Glamburgers, etc.

In the meantime, Tsubakura decides to talk with Alphys over the Undernet. They say, "Can you please come over to me, Alphys? I can make you a food like ramen with soy sauce." Meanwhile, Sandy decides to buy the Mettaton steak and says, "This steak reminds me of my home, Texas. I also wonder how they make it here." She then eagerly eats and devours it after doing a little research.

And then, Sandy and Tsubakura receive messages from Billy, asking if they want to help with a little situation over the Arena. The former says she will after her suit is fixed, while the latter says that they will after making Alphys the ramen.

Billy's Mansion

In the meantime, more tributes are nominated for other sims. For the third Starlight Game, Billy ordered his workers to nominate two bootleg locations, Setarbak Kopi and Starbox Coffee. After they are brought, they are given human forms and special powers as usual using the nation's magitek. In addition, Tohru Adachi is nominated for the third season of Survivor.

Gensokyo

Cirno and Reimu continue watching. It's been a day since they saw Satori and Koishi's fight with Vriska, and this time it's night, with Reimu also inviting the inhabitants in her shrine, including Shinmyoumaru and Aunn, to watch it after Reimu changes from her usual work outfit. A realization then hits Reimu and Cirno in the middle of the show. The acronym of Bad Time Squad is BTS, which also happens to be the band name of one of BPC's members, Jin. Cirno then says, "They've the same name as that group of cold boy?" Reimu meanwhile says, "It's a pretty funny coincidence."

The Arena

After Yoonji has left, Sans goes back to the group and leans against the side of the cave. He tries to take a nap, but Vriska prods him awake.

"Hey you..." says the troll, "why the hell do you love making 8ad puns?"

Sans winks at her. "cuz they're my favorite kinds'a jokes!"

"Really?" she says flatly, "one of my fellow 8lue8lood trolls, Equius, just looooooooves making puns."

"what kinds'a puns?"

"Anything to do with hoof8easts. Hell, he even messed with some 8lue ones in Season 69!"

"are ya serious? and was one of 'em a unicorn?"

"Yes, I am serious, 8ut neither of them were horned. Why do you ask?"

"y'know the one that i talked to before this season began? she loves makin' puns as much as i do!"

"Ugh... Really?"

"yeah..."

Sans twiddles his fingerbones. He knows that the BPC is watching him, and who knows how they'd react to this potential recruit?

"y'see, vriska..." he continues, "she and i are part'a this club called the blue pun clan, and we're a buncha people in blue who, well, love crackin' these kinds'a jokes!"

"8luh, that's lame. I only toler8ed Equius's 8ecause they were part of his Typing Quirk, or how he messaged others online."

"like how i always use comic sans and type in small letters?"

"Yeah. Anyway, what's this about your shitty clan?"

"well... ya think equius would be interested in joinin'?"

Vriska puts a hand to her chin, then shrugs. "I'd ask him myself, 8ut he shouldn't have stuck a fork in that fucking toaster!"

"huh. i guess you could say... he was toast."

He turns to the camera and winks while Vriska just sighs.

Power's Home

Power cringes when Sans mentions her to Vriska. She doesn't want Equius in the Clan, even if he fits the bill, due to his rather... unhealthy obsession with ponies. While it's true that he took in Twinkle the Marvel Horse as his apprentice and plotted to kill Flutterdash for breaking his toy that season, his love for ponies back in his universe was... inappropriate, to say the least.

Power giggles at the pun to get that off her mind.

Papyrus and Sans's House

"HEY, I HAVE A TYPING QUIRK, TOO! I USE ALLCAPS AND PAPYRUS FONT! NYEH HEH HEH!!"

Carlos's House

Carlos wonders about Equius while Dad covers his ears when Vriska swears. The latter also tells D. A. to do the same, but she's busy reading up on troll lore when Vriska explains about Typing Quirks.

"Carlos... I don't think Equius should join your clan."

"Why not? Our club can do with more members!"

"He's reckless."

"Oh."

Carlos then snickers at Sans's latest pun while D. A. just sighs.

Alphys's Lab

Alphys has just finished rebuilding Mettaton's arms when she receives Billy's message. She replies that she's still busy with her work, so she'll have to train some other time. She also gets a call from Tsubakura.

"Sure, I'll be right over. I'm in for a snack break."

"Sombra" stared in shock at his other self, clearly Grogar had not talked about this to him at all. His merged partner, the Pony of Shadows was likely confused.

Sombra:    What is... this? Is that me?! What is going on?   

Meanwhile the other three villains were still panicking.

Tirek: This doesn't make any sense, when did Sombra turn good?

Chrysalis: I don't know, last time I saw him he was about to unleash the Umbrum, but now he's pathetic, guess he was redeemed by "friendship".

Cozy: Uh, guys, I think I'm seeing our Sombra approaching the other, we should act fast before he blows this for us.

The three then rushed at the disguised Sombra and pulled him away before he could do any harm.

Base Games

The villains continued their game of Go Fish. With Venomous having won the past 3 rounds. Meanwhile the ones who weren't playing were thinking up of something else to do.

TKO: Hmm, what to do? Perhaps blowing up stuff around here?

Neoptera: You could but you'll have to check with other villains around here before that... How I wish Chrysalis was here.

Demencia: Uh, I got kicked out of the Go Fish game, can I join you guys in whatever you're doing?

TKO: Sure, makes no difference to me.

Underground Tunnels

Once the tunnels were finally empty, a strange looking device began to move. It was placed here for quite some time and it was extremely well hidden, and it watched everything that has happened.

The device levitated before flashing in white light and disappeared instantly.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon World

The group of Pokemons found themselves in a luxurious room of a visibly empty gothic castle. It was night, and the only source of light was provided by purple candles.

"Oh... That's really a creepy place..." Alex muttered, visibly intimidated.

   "We are in the mistress's domain. Please wait here."    the Shuppet said before flying away, followed by Cerberus.

Scipion looked angrily at the Rescue Squad and sighed.

   "I honestly don't know why this Shuppet brought you with me."   

   "Trust me, they're the least of our concern."    Morgan hissed.

Scipion wanted to say Something, but suddenly, Onox yawned and started to wake up. The Toxtricity opened his eyes.

"Hmm? How long I've been asleep? Huh?!"

Onox immediatly got up and stared at Scipion.

   "Errmm... Hi?"    Scipion said, confused.

The Toxtricity rubbed his eyes, not believeing what he saw. "B-Boss...? T-That's really you?"

Onox began to cry before bursting into tears as he jumped at Scipion. They both fell on the floor as Onox was hugging the Zoroark.

   "Hey, calm down! Onox, damn it!"    Scipion tried to say.

"I'm so sorry boss! Please don't leave me again, boss, I beg you!" Onox yelled, crying like he never did before.

Scipion just looked at Onox, clearly uneasy and surprised by his behavior.

   "Sorry...? For what?"   

   "Impressive, you've got a short memory there."    Morgan sighed saracastically.

   "Onox. Enough."    Scipion asked. Fearing Scipion's reaction, Onox obeyed instantly and stood there, still crying.

   "Well damn... I didn't knew you were like that. Morgan, did you do something to him?"   

Morgan rolled his eyes.

   "Here we go again, it's going to be my fault. You just love blaming others, huh? He started to behave like this ever since you left him. If you actually cared the slightest, you should've known he would act like that, he's mentally deficient. But of course, you casually forgot about that."   

   "Listen, you're the one who started this argument back then. And I had my reasons for not saying anything to you, okay? It was necessary for-"    Scipion argued.

   "Yeah, for what? So that you can play the good guy with these nominators? You literally replaced us. Why? Because you were tired of us? Well yeah, I can see that. And look where you are now. Rejected by them, considered like trash and even hunted down! Such good friends they are!"   

   "I'm aware... But it's not my fault. Back then you were just partners to-"    Scipion growled.

"Boss..." Onox tried to say, concerned about the duo.

   "Just partners? You're fucking kidding me!! We've been together for years and you just thought of us as mere pawns? And these idiots who always rejected you, they're your friends? Dude, you're beyond insanity! You're a godamn idiot, even dumber than Onox!"   

   "If you could just let me explain instead of insulting me every seconds, that would be nice!"   

   "Oh yeah? I'm only speaking the truth! You're a selfish, stupid and ugly asshole with shitty hair!"   

   "Shut up, Morgan. You'd better not piss me off!"   

   "MY ASS!! YOU'RE A COMPLETE IDIOT TO EVEN BELIEVE YOU COULD ACTUALLY LIVE WITH THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!"   

"Boss, Morgan! Please!" Onox begged, distressed.

"Stop this. I don't know what you're talking about, but there's no need to-" Aaron added, trying to calm them down.

   "SHUT UP, THAT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!!"   

   "SHUT UP, THAT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!!"    both Scipion and Morgan shouted.

   "My, my. Such a rude and violent conversation. I can hear both of you from the upper floor. And dear Scipion, what did I told you about swearing?"    a feminine voice said, amused by the argument.

Both the Rescue Squad and Scipion were shocked. That voice... They recognised it.

   "It has been such a long time since I have seen those faces of yours, n'est-il pas?"    an old female Mismagius said, accompanied by Clyde and Cerberus.

"No way... I've killed you myself... you are..."

   "...Mom?"   

"The Necros are all I have left. Feeding them is my duty and my ultimate quest. And I won't let you lock us again."

On the Arena, Sans makes another pun. Dave raises both eyebrows, although this time he can't help a thin smile on the corner of his lips.

Link, meanwhile, chuckles at that.

"It seems your friend is something, Miss. I can't wait to meet him and the others once this is over," the Hero of the Wild notes.

"Trust me, that Sans is really unpredictable. He might seem lazy, but don't let that fool you; when he steps up, he's dangerous. I've seen it," Dave replies to him.

The Arena

Night 2

Once the Squad has fully rested, they put their armor back on and go hunting in the rain. They run into SMG4 and demand him where Yukine is, and he points them in the latter's direction. Sans thanks SMG4 for the help and follows Vriska's lead... but they come across a rock formation that happens to look like Yukine instead.

"i guess we're between a rock and a hard place right now."

Vriska facepalms. Not far away from them is the real Yukine, who's still lying on the ground unconscious from that Nasty Patty that Stun Lancer and Inteleon cooked for him earlier that day.

Day 3

The thunderstorm still isn't letting up, and the flood is rising due to the gumballs that Shooky summoned the other night clogging the drainage systems. Vriska lifts Sans and carries him to higher ground, and once Andonuts catches up with them, they captchalogue, or store their armor in Vriska's Magic 8-Ball, and enter the mansion.

The dining hall is filled with the most delicious food, and the Squad's mouths water at the aroma of their favorite meals. Sans grabs a bottle of ketchup and downs it while Vriska helps herself to some literal grub. Once they've had their fill, Sans wonders out loud who prepared such a generous feast for them. He turns his head and sees Bowsette and Ridley making out.

Sans nearly loses his appetite and doesn't make a pun, for once. Vriska, on the other hand, doesn't seem to mind.

"What? Our culture's romance system is different from yours! 8uuuuuuuut it's too complex for you to understand."

Power's Home

Power looks away from the makeout session, but understands Vriska's tolerance towards it. The Culture Clash is already setting in, so she hopes that that doesn't make their rivalry worse...

Papyrus and Sans's House

Papyrus is also disgusted by the makeout session and is confused by Vriska's statement regarding romance.

"YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT IN YOUR CULTURE, THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN JUST DATING SOMEONE?"

Carlos's House

Dad covers both Carlos and D. A's eyes from the scene. Once it's over, D. A. asks Carlos if he'd like to learn more about quadrants, or the romance system that Vriska mentioned.

"...I'd rather not."

The Database Library, Entrance Hall

"Yes," says 6k1, "after all, there has to be a reason why he's part of the Bad Time Squad right now..."

She continues watching and just raises an eyebrow at Mr. Sutton calling Jasmine "Not Navi" this season, then cringes at a certain scene.

"In case you're wondering about what Vriska just said, she means that there are four ways trolls can love one another: the same way that human couples do; like platonic soulmates to keep their volatile emotions in check; by hating each other, which is ironic but still treated like a romance; and by helping mediate a couple in said hate romance to ensure they don't end up killing each other. These four kinds of troll love are called matespritship, moirallegiance, kismesissitude, and auspisticism, respectively. It's still hard for us humans to understand, but it's an essential part of their culture because they need to find partners that fill a role in each quadrant so they can continue their species."

Thankfully, Mimi's too busy playing with Arcturus to overhear this mushy stuff. Besides, she's too young to understand it, anyway. 6k1 then sees Billy send George off to assign his tributes to the tunnels and messages Alphys that she can go send Undyne there as well.

She then realizes what she just said about kismesissitude.

"Don't worry! I'm sure Sans and Vriska are just plain old rivals and not hate-partners!"

Tsubakura replies that they receive Alphys' message. Immediately, they go to work on the meal, or more accurately prank on Alphys. Finding a bowl, a pack of noodles, and hot water, they cook it normally after finding a place where they are allowed to cook it. They then pour the "soy sauce". Unbeknownst to Alphys however, it's actually normal ink, which Tsubakura also somehow manages to color so the black is more like that of soy sauce than ink.

Onxe they are done, they wait for Alphys to come, then serves the bowl of ramen to her, while waiting for her reaction.

MTT Resort

Ralsei was having fun catching up with his friends when Alphys arrives at the restaurant.

"Hey Alphys, are you okay?"

"Yep, Aaron told me that I'll be okay, but he's in trouble right now."

"What has happened since he left?"

"Remember those figures that showed up in the CORE? They're in the Panem tunnels right now, and he and the Rescue Squad ran into them."

"Oh no... I hope they get away from them!"

"Me too, and 6k1 gave me the approval to send Undyne there to help them, but for now, time for a snack break!"

Alphys takes a seat next to him and eats the ramen that Tsubakura prepared for her. She immediately spits it out.

"Oh my god! Is this ink?!"

As she reaches for a glass of water, Ralsei tries not to laugh at the situation.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that was just a harmless prank!" he says.

"H-Hey!"

Alphys was reminded of that time when Bill Cipher downloaded provocative fanart of Undyne in her computer while she was watching Sans and Papyrus prepare their comedy act for Mew Mew's concert. That embarrassed her to no end, even if she was alone, so she had to clear her browser history before Asgore or especially Toriel could catch her. And speaking of Undyne, she shakes her head off that prank and calls her to prepare herself for the mission.

The Neon Quarters, Capitol Facility

In the office at the highest floor of the building, a mysterious individual in a suit of white armor is observing the season through a screen.

"This is Archangel Markus Hasselhoff, or Scientist Hassel, the future God of Panem. Project Omega Corps is working as intended, the suit of armor we've installed onto Omega Zero has successfully overrun his default program. However, his weapon system is yet to be activated. Should the weapon test succeeded, we'll mass-produce our angels and prove the impostor that it is my divine right to be worshiped by many."

He then picks up a controller, trying to control his own tribute using a remote. He uses every opportunity to suppress his tribute's free will using the augments he installed. Should Markus be left unchecked, this would be the fate of Panem's people.

"At the meantime, I'll propose to build cathedrals all over Panem. A state needs faith and discipline to be sturdy, and all forms of uncleanliness will be removed from it, be it someone who openly committed blasphemy against Panem, or a foreigner who cannot acknowledge Panem's superiority over them, or a cat hissing at my holy image. Once the moment is correct, I'll write a proposal to the President. Soon, the faithless side of Panem will become a history."

He then orders his subordinates, who wear the same type of armor as him, to design the cathedrals' blueprints.

     Movie Making and Fossil8east Hunting 

The Arena

Night 3

The storm has finally lifted. The Squad leaves the mansion and continues their hunt for Yukine when they encounter Doc Scratch hosting Jeopardy excellently. Vriska was about to throw her dice when Scratch notices and warns her of Lord English. She scowls at him and reluctantly tells Sans and Andonuts to vacate the set.

Still on the hunt, the Squad encounters Nicolas Cage resting at his camp. Vriska's eyes turn into hearts as she flies towards him and hugs him. The others catch up with her, and after they get to know each other, Cage asks them to make a movie with him, starring him and the Squad. Vriska goes head over heels at the offer while Sans just looks at Cage, confused.

"what's this movie have to do with us?"

"I got the likes of Andrew Hussie, Toby Fox, and Nintendo to help work on it! And since you guys are part of the works that they created, it would be an honor for you to be the stars of the show!"

Sans grins at the prospect, for once not minding his rivals co-starring in the film. He remembers that time when he made the script for his own movie in Season 61, but never realized it because it was washed away with him by dam water. He and the Squad work on the film, and hours later, posters for it are plastered around the Arena. Yukine comes across one and panics and freaks out at the Squad staring at him with their glowing eyes.

Day 4

The Squad helps Cage in advertising the movie by selling tickets to the other tributes. Kalani takes interest in it and declares the Squad his Soul Friends.

"Soul Friends?" asks Vriska, "more like h8friends!"

Sans groans. "c'mon! we all worked on a movie together! why can't we be friends for once?"

Vriska just hisses at him.

Night 4

The Squad just realized that they lost track of Yukine when they were selling the tickets. So that night, they go back to their cave and rethink their plans. Andonuts takes out a pet cage and shows Vriska and Sans his latest experiment: an eldritch hellhound with some catlike traits. He orders them to hunt down every last dinosaur in the Arena to make some armor for it.

"No way I'm going down the path of the Fallen Child!" Sans exclaims.

The hellhound growls and snaps at him in response.

"You heard him!" says Vriska. "We must cull these fossil8easts 8efore it devours us!"

Vriska flies out of the cave while Sans follows her. Upon reaching the exit however, she gets zapped by the barrier.

"8luh! What the fucking hell gives????????"

"as a group tribute, we can't stray too far away from each other. i remember when i was nominated with carlos as one tribute, and we also got zapped when we tried huggin' our bros on the nearby podium!"

"And is this 'Carlos' another member of your stupid clan?"

Sans sighs. "yes."

Vriska looks back at Andonuts. "You coming with us?"

He says that he'll stay behind to take care of the hellhound.

"I'm sorry, 8ut the 8arrier won't let us out of here unless you accompany us! Even if you have to take that 8ark8east with you!"

Andonuts obeys her and joins the Squad, walking the hellhound on a leash.

"uh... what about cage over there?" asks Sans, who just realized that the actor joined them, too.

"Don't worry about me! I'm not registered as a tribute this season, so I'm not affected by the barrier! I'll just join you tomorrow morning!"

Day 5

After having breakfast, the Squad continues dinosaur hunting, with Cage tagging along as promised. They come across a camp with a lamp left on.

"8luh! What a waste of electricity!" says Vriska.

"leavin' it on isn't a bright idea y'know," says Sans.

Vriska rolls her eyes, then spots John Prodman hurrying back to his camp to turn it off. He also spots Cage in the group and insults him.

"No8ody insults my flushed crush like that!!!!!!!!"

She unscrews the bulb and throws it at John, but it wasn't enough to crack his skull, so she orders the others to give him a bad time. Once they're sure he's dead, Vriska mutters to herself, "that'll teach him........" and goes back to hunting.

     The Reactions 

Power's Home

Power is hyped for the movie, although she's only interested because Sans is in it. It's most likely an action movie given the director, but she's sure that Sans was given a fitting role and played it well.

She then holds her breath as the Teeth-Clenched Teamwork in the Squad gets heated. Power also wonders how Cage managed to be in the Arena despite being unregistered. Then again, Valecor hung around after his "death" in Season 66 to mess with the others...

Papyrus and Sans's House

Papyrus likewise is excited for the movie, simply because his brother is there. Of course, he's still rooting against Vriska and Andonuts because they were likely cast as the villains. He then screams at the TV when the Squad makes their first kill, and he's seriously hoping that the others don't influence Sans into pulling a Chara.

Carlos's House

Carlos also has high hopes for the movie, but D. A. advises him to check the reviews first while Dad tells him that it might not be for kids his age because of the rating. Carlos just nods and continues watching.

Then, they all huddle each other at the hellhound and the murder the next day. Carlos tries reassuring himself that Sans will be okay despite all of this, and Dad and D. A. try comforting him.

The Database Library, Entrance Hall

6k1 is interested in the movie and thinks of buying a ticket, but she can't leave the Library until the season is over. Besides, she still has other tasks to accomplish. She also asks Billy and Dave if they'd be interested, too.

She then gets increasingly concerned about Sans. 6k1 fears that Vriska might brainwash him if things get desperate... As for Cage, however, she just assumes that he asked the Capitol permission to make a special appearance just for the season.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon World, Persephone's castle

   "...Mom?"   

"Mom?" Aaron exclaimed.

Persephone chuckled, amused by the Rescue Squad and Scipion's confusion. Tokage, summoned his leaf blades, angry at the old witch.

   "Oh my! Such a rude way to greet a lady."   

"You brainwashed my father and scarred him for life! I don't know how you're still breathing, but I'll make sure this time, you won't get away."

The Mismagius rolled her eyes in response. She then turned to Clyde.

   "Clyde?"   

   "Yes, mistress."    the small ghost answered, before summoning a glass of luxurious wine and giving it to her.

"Are you mocking me?"

   "Of course not. But I thought you would be... wiser, young Grovyle."    she said, before drinking some of the liquid.

Aaron lightly punched Tokage on the shoulder. Tokage realised that it would be futile, especially with Scipion and co. nearby.

"So, you're Scipion's mom?"

   "Why, yes. Not litterally, but you can say I am his foster mother."   

"Wait. So when we defeated you, that means... And how did you survive?"

   "My dear child, I cannot die that easily. And yes, from what I have been told, Scipion wasn't very happy when he learned about my "defeat"."    Persephone said as she gently petted Cerberus before looking maliciously at Scipion, who still didn't moved.

   "You mean... that during all this time... you just hide yourself? Why?"    he asked, still shocked.

   "Your question will be answered later. For now..."   

She then turned to the Rescue Squad.

   "I know that you have met with some of those famous nominators. I wanted you here so that you can report to them everything that will be said here concerning Scipion, step by step."   

"Well, it's not like we had a chance to say no, anyways."

   "Excellent. Now, the first issue to discuss... Scipion, Onox, and Aaron please follow me. As for the others, I suppose you can entertain yourself with this."   

Persephone raised one of her arm, summoning a large screen, showing the current season. Tokage cursed under his breath and stood closely to Alex while Morgan was looking at them angrily. Cerberus rested while Clyde was watching it, like a curious child.

Persephone and her group entered a door, leading to a smaller room with an old round table at the center and 3 seats.

   "Sit down now, childrens."    Persephone said. The 3 Pokemons obliged.

   "One thing before we begin, who's the weird Shuppet and the Hydreigon?"   

   "Cerberus is my new pet after my previous one, a Noivern, passed away. It is one of the most powerful and brutal wild dragons I came across with. It proved to be quite a challenge to tame, but it is now completely loyal to me. It is extremely useful when it comes to pure slaughter, althought it tends to be... uncontrollable sometimes."   

"So, like a sort of dog?"

   "Precisely. A brutal one. As for Clyde, he entered at my service quite recently, exactly 6 months ago."   

   "And how did you found him?"   

Persephone smiled maliciously again.    "You could say that I was here since the beginning of his new life."   

"Wait? You mean that he's an undead Pokemon?! But I thought Ghost Pokemons..."

   "Such naivety is amusing. There are two types of Ghost like Pokemons. The first category, the more uncommon includes those that were born this way and who are the oldest and most powerful of this type. I belong to this category and to give you an idea, I proudly announce that yesterday was my 666 millionth birthday."   

"WHAT?"

   "WHAT?"    both Scipion and Aaron yelled in surprise. Onox just scratched his head, not realising how big the number was.

   "666 millions? But... I-I thought you were... well younger".   

   "I am flattered, dear child. But I am indeed an old one."   

"That's insane." Aaron muttered. Persephone chuckled in response before drinking again.

   "Clyde belongs to the second category. He is what you can consider an undead. He was intially a 6 years old Helioptile and died 6 months ago by falling into a canyon."   

Aaron frowned at this.

   "Do not worry. I was not the one responsible for his death. You should thank me instead, since I resurrected him."   

"Resurrected? From what I've seen, he doesn't look very alive. He's completely emotionless! It's almost like he have no soul!"

   "It is because he does not have one, not anymore. Necromancy is a difficult science after all. But there is one thing he kept from his previous life. And ironically, it is the very reason why he died. His curiosity."   

Aaron sighed, still disgusted by what he learned about Clyde.

   "Now then... Onox, shall we begin? Tell us more about that fateful day..."   

"The Necros are all I have left. Feeding them is my duty and my ultimate quest. And I won't let you lock us again."

Check In

   "Thank you,miss."   

Tabby walks through the portal and talks to the receptionist at the front desk.

   "Hello? I wanted to check myself in due to my many injuries. I'm also recovering from being poisoned."   

She rolls down her sleeve to show the receptionist the stab wound on her shoulder that she has gotten from Morgan. The receptionist has a shocked look on her face.

"Yikes, That wound looks like it's infected. I'll check you right away. Name?"

   "Everyone in Panem and the multiverse refers to me as Tabby but if you meant birth name. My birth name or dead name in this case is Nora. I don't remember my last name.   

"Ah,okay. A doctor will be with you soon."

"Could I help the next person please?"

Tabby sits in one of the chairs in the waiting room. She thinks about the battle and Pecan. Immediately when Pecan comes to mind, she pulls out her phone to text with Pecan.

   "Hey there,Just wanted you know that I checked myself into the hospital. It seems like they are busy today since it's been a while since I talked to the lady at the front desk. I know it's been a lot for you to control the base for a bit,I'm proud of you."   

"May I have Nora? A doctor is ready to see you to check your injuries."

   "DON'T REFER TO ME BY THAT NAME. IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN,I WILL BURN YOUR FACE TO A CRISP!"   

"Madam, please don't threat me or I'll have to call security."

   "I'm sorry I got pissed at you but that is a major Berserk Button for me. It's a long story featuring my parents."   

   "Alright,who's this guy again?"

Some random-ass villain's base, Earth-panem

The figure watched as her xenomorph pawn was struck down. It wasn't as if she cared- she had reserves- but upon further inspection and upon watching other tributes she continued learning about the multiverse. Of course, her time under Dark Billy's command has taught her well, but come on, it's not as if-
She saw the man in the lambda suit.
It reminds her of something but she didn't know why until she remembered something vital she heard.
He comes from the same universe as where the Combine is keeping a Dragon Ball.

The figure stepped into a light at the edge of a hall, revealing her white robes and her firey orange hair.
The self-proclaimed vixen goddess looked out at the readying fleet. Soon, she thought, all the worlds would burn under her fire.

"System failure, Omega Zero deactivated."

"I guess he really isn't the Messiah as he claimed after all?"

Markus isn't pleased with the result. He then orders his subordinates to modify the superweapons, as if he's plotting for a nefarious military operation.

"After the season ends, I want you to retire Zero and install a new body into one of these Omega Armor. Zero has outlived his usefulness, a Reploid is a Reploid, no matter how hard he tries, a machine would never be a right choice to rule over mankind. What we need is Paylor, the God who created Panem. If not for the fact her humility is suppressing her divinity, I wouldn't need to exist in the first place. I'm tired of sinners polluting our holy land through their mere existence, if I could become her chief enforcer, I would cleanse this land's impurity so that we can regain our divinity and our holiness."

"Copy that."

     A Really Bad Time 

The Arena

Night 5

Tired from the hunt, the Squad settles down for a thriller movie marathon with Mother and the other tributes. Sans sleeps through them, but Vriska prods him awake because everyone's dancing to the Thriller music video.

As they're dancing, Giovanni approaches them and asks them about their husbandos. Sans is confused, but Vriska drags Cage near her and brags that he's "a street tough maverick with nothing to lose". When Giovanni says that he's also crushing on Cage, Vriska's eyes flare up as they get into a fight, with the former using her powers to make Giovanni fall asleep.

Sans and Cage just take a step back, not wanting to intervene.

Day 6

After spending the night binge watching all the Nic Cage movies, with Sans sleeping though them and Vriska hugging her computer every time her crush showed up, the Squad gets up at sunrise and encounters Kalani again.

Vriska sighs. "You again? What do you want from us now?"

He shows them a dead tree with an ancient door built into it. Kalani says that a cueball told him that a treasure chest full of evil is locked behind it.

"No way!" both Sans and Vriska exclaim. "That White Text Guy is defin8ly up to no good!" the latter adds.

Cage agrees that they must leave, but Andonuts starts busting the door open with a giant laser. Sans and Vriska yell at him to stop, but it's too late since he already opened the chest. As the noxious miasma causes the others to gag, Andonuts steals all the treasure with him.

"We really are h8friends now, Kalani........"

Night 6

After the Squad escapes the evil smoke, they see Gadget doing a silly dance. Sans whispers to Vriska and Andonuts something, then has special T-shirts made for them.

"Gadget has Forgotten How to Dance," Vriska reads the statement upon receiving hers. "You want me to wear this and stand right next to her?"

Sans snickers while putting his own shirt on. "yeah, it's gonna be a silly prank, i tell ya!"

Vriska sighs, but puts on the shirt anyway. "Tri8utes like you change your attire just to prank others? That's stupid."

Once Andonuts has changed, the three approach Gadget at Sans's signal. The tiny mouse gets angry and manages to knock all three of them into a mud puddle.

"8luh 8luh 8luh!" says Vriska while trying to spit out the mud. She focuses her eyes on Gadget and crushes her in her hands, but the latter manages to jump out.

The troll just sighs. "That cheese critter..."

Feast

The Squad returns to the Cornucopia for the Feast. They share their meal with Cage, and he thanks them for having such a wonderful time with them. Vriska bares her fangs as she smiles at him, but quickly pulls herself back when he's suddenly blown up.

"Cagey, noooooooo!!!!!!!!"

She cradles him in her arms, blue tears streaming from her eyes. Sans tries patting her on the shoulder, but she swats him away.

"Don't you dare p8ty me like that!"

"but but—"

Suddenly, they hear someone approaching them, laughing evilly. Vriska looks up and sees the Dark Lord holding up a white ball, which he used to kill Cage. She glares at him and orders the Squad to give him a Bad Time, but she feels a sharp pain in her stomach and clutches it.

As Vriska coughs up blue blood and Sans doubles over, Doc Scratch appears before them and explains that he mixed in poisonous roaches in their meal. She and the Squad just stare at him as he orders the Dark Lord to dispose of them when they die, which is the last thing they hear before Vriska falls face-flat on the ground while Sans turns into dust. Scratch then takes his leave, and the Dark Lord makes Vriska's and Andonuts' bodies explode with the ball, scattering Sans's remains everywhere.

     The Aftermath 

Power's Home

Power winces at the Bad Time Squad's death and takes several deep breaths before reassuring herself that 6k1 will be able to revive Sans after this. She's not sure if the DM would also revive Vriska after all she did to him, but if she revived Garnet despite not being her tribute during Valentine's, then why not her?

Papyrus and Sans's House

Papyrus's jawbone falls on the floor yet again upon witnessing Sans's death. He picks it up and tries not to cry... only to burst into tears and shake the TV anyway.

"DON'T WORRY, BROTHER..." he says while trying to maintain his smile. "6K1 WILL BRING YOU BACK..."

Carlos's House

Dad immediately turns off the TV as soon as the Squad dies. The kids are still huddling him, and they ask what happened.

"They had a really bad time."

Carlos groans, for once. "Are you sure you're not making a pun?"

Dad laughs mirthlessly. "I was being serious there. But don't worry, 6k1 will take good care of your friend."

"But what about the others?" asks D. A.

"I don't know, but whatever she does, I'm sure it's for the best."

D. A. then gets up and thanks Carlos for inviting her. He likewise thanks her for her explanations, and they hug and wave goodbye before Carlos goes to Mikey's room to check on him.

The Database Library, Entrance Hall

6k1 has the same reaction as Power, but keeps her composure since she's still talking with Billy and Dave. It's going to be a challenge for her scientists to retrieve the remains after this season, but they're specially trained for overkill deaths like this. She then watches the rest of the season unfold, but notices that Sutton's a little... too excited for what's to come...

CAC: Didn't expect a glitch of all things to stand up to the Dark Lord. Whatever comes next won't be pretty...

Elfin: Let's hope the good guys win.
