(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.

Other Questions
Bale was confused by the Fire light referring to him as "The Other One".
Bale: The Other One? Do you mean... Me? If so, I think you and that Scattered Guy are mistaken. I'm just a normal guy.
He then gulped a bit, that recent dream had unnerved him to his core and left him unsure of what he even was.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."
Braids From S286 Not Included
The Science Center
The season comes to a close, although there was a mixup in the scheduling due to Mr. Sutton experimenting with a new style and misreading his cue cards. Instead of the Necromancy Department receiving the orders for revival, the Travel and Communications Department does so. Perri assigns some programmers and white hat hackers to recover the lost codes of Shank and Yesss and upload them back into the cyberspace. As for Vanellope, they give her the same treatment, but not without notifying her nominator last season first, assuming that they did.
In the Tribute Research Lab, Claire emails 6k1 that it's nomination time, once again teasing her that she should've seen the epic fight between Turbo and Vanellope. The head of R&D then receives the orders to nominate Lemon Bread and Reaper Bird.
Are you planning to separate their components and free them from the Determination experiment?
No, because that was Alphys's project, and I don't want to interfere with it, as much as I want to help her. It's up to her if she wants to save them.
But what about Snowdrake's mother? Shouldn't we revive her, too?
I heard rumors that her nominator chose not to bring her back. It was probably a personal preference, though I do feel sorry for that dragon comedian...
But why did you request the Station to revive Vanellope even if you knew that someone else nominated her last season?
Again, she was one of my OT tributes, and I still care about her. I sincerely hope that whoever nominated her doesn't mind, since she can't leave her game forever.
But won't Sugar Rush eventually be unplugged since she moved to Slaughter Race?
Well... let's just hope that they updated it and found a replacement for her. Also, I'm sure that the same nominator will take care of Unikitty.
Duly noted.
Claire writes to the Amalgamates' families and gives Alphys a heads-up about this. Anthony then comes out of the testing chamber while holding a tank, his lab coat covered in ash and his hair all frizzy.
"I have done it, Ms. Hartmut! After 91 trial runs, I've successfully extracted the Star Energy from the fragments and injected it into this quesadilla! This must be what gives these creatures life!"
The Treatling growls and bares its cheesy teeth at the pretzel, which cowers in one corner of its tank. Claire takes pictures and records her observations, then reaches into the tank and soothes the pretzel, still keeping her gloves on.
"Alright Anthony, have another scientist watch over that one and ensure that it doesn't escape. Don't forget to wash up, change your PPE, and clean up your work area."
Anthony nods and hands the quesadilla over, then goes to shower station. He then returns with fresh clothes, but before he goes back to the testing chamber, he glances at the TV and notices a certain student from Canterlot High... along with her Superpowered Evil Side.
"Ms. Hartmut... should we tell 6001 that her tribute from Season 80 was... stolen?"
Unknown to everyone in the lab, the leftover fragments start fusing themselves with the equipment...

Near the Arena
Feeling tired, Scipion eventually fell asleep as the season was about to be finished. In the end, the Zoroark ended up missing the nominations, wich greatly angered him once he woke up.
"DAMNIT." he hissed. "I missed one again! Whu didn't you woke me up, Onox?"
"But boss. You don't like when I wake you up without your autorisation." Onox said, trying to justify himself.
"Yeah... I would have screamed at you anyways. I guess I currently have bad karma for breaking my promise to the nominators." Scipion sighed.
Fiery cave
The Firbelight did a strange, deep, mechanical sound, mimicking a chuckle.
"Smart... The Other One is smarter than he looks. He answered to the second question before I could even ask it! This is clearly different from Scattered Brain's slow thinking." it said loudly to itself, mimicking amusement.
"I have my answers: you are not feeling well and you clearly regret what you did, to the point of refusing to believe in the truth anymore. The dreams of the living beings usually bring truth to one's consciousness." it remarked.
"You can lie to other living beings, including yourself. But the not-living, like us knows exactly what you did. This truth is what makes you valuable to us, Blights."
The Fireblight looked at the Blaziken from afar.
"Fear not, Other One. We know the truth, but it is not our role to play a part in the upcoming game. As long as we, Blights, get our food and that Scattered Brain is entertained, you will be able to fully play." it said, getting Bale back to the ground.
"If that can appease your mind, you are not the first, neither the last to destroy lives and universes. Look no further than your own species. Zorua. The two Scipions. Maybe you will understand better what I mean, when Scattered Brain will appear to you, nominators... if it remembers the correct way to this planet."
"Just remember. We are your guardians demons. We will be watching over you, just like Heart. Just like the rest of you."
The Fireblight turned back to it's original, imposing form. It waved with it's smaller arm at Bale before slowly floating away.
"Finally, some peace." Freyja sighed, relieved that the monster was gone.
Bale's cell
"...Later. We will deal with Giygas later." Giegue sighed, clearly not wanting to remember his alter-ego
"Alright. We should go now." he then said to the Pokemons
The hero of the wind.

"Whoa. Well, that means that food aren't the only ones affected. I should tell-"
"Non!"
Ribeyrolles emerges from behind the tank.
"If you tell ze people about us, zey will spread ze word, and ze Neon Quarters will figure out our plan! We must lay low on ze ground, and for ze time being, we will train ourselves in a place no-one will ever look at: Ze desert, far from Panem."
"Ja, mein freund! We must not be seen by others, especially humans!" said the tank. "Ich heisse Panzerfreund, by the way."
"But what if they're friendly? I have some friends, like the Database Manager, Tabby, Billy..."
"Hmmm... Well, i must consider about zeir friendliness, whether or not zey will betray us to ze Quarters."
Outside the Winter's End
King Dedede and Bandana Dee went out to find the Spacepod outside. Magolor then instructed him to bring the Cinnamon Roll inside, and he allows the cinnamon roll to go inside. The Pod flies away.
The Spacepod
Sam asks Magolor.
"So, have you found another Treatling?"
"This one's a cinnamon roll! Too pure to just leave behind! Speaking of which, Ribbon, do you have any idea when the Manager's coming back?"
They then witness Francisca and Flamberge, brought by Tabby, below.
The Ground
The burger beast from earlier spies on Tabby and the two Mages. It then spontaneously shows itself to them, roaring.
"Oh dear, they're in danger!"
The Sea
Kine is still recovering from the shock when meeting the ship. The ship introduces herself.
"Konnichiwa! My name is Fubuki, Fubuki-san! Who are you?
"I'm Kine, the fish! ...What are you?"
"I'm glad you ask, Kai-san! Well... i don't really remember."

Billy's Mansion
Billy continues watching what the drones have gathered. He sees that the Ember Empress or Freyja beat the Legion members easily, before kidnapping Bale. After that however, he is unable to send them into whatever place Freyja has gone too. Instead, he continues spying on the remains of the base, gathering informations secretly and relaying them through extremely encrypted messages to his allies, except Scipion and Zorua obviously. He also takes the precaution and doesn't send it to Bale, knowing his kidnapper could learn of it.
He soon sees that the exoskeleton is finally sent for upgrade. He then communicates with the head of the Design Room, a cyborg named Chris Manshine, on how it should be done. The cyborg immediately says that nanites could do, but Billy reminds him that it should not be injected to 6k1's bloodstream because it will count as biological modification, and that needs her full permission. The cyborg soon compromises by offering to only have the little drones act as repair and power enhancer on the exoskeleton rather than entering 6k1's bodies, to which Billy approves.
As Chris commands his team to get working, they also install other features as upgrades. The material of the exoskeleton itself is overhauled and reconstructed at molecular level to give them both new material that is more durable and lighter, as well as manipulate the molecular links to make them more unbreakable. The strength of the exoskeleton itself is also enhanced, making it more powerful and faster, while more sensors are added to help 6k1 perceive more of the environment and her own body's condition quickly. The exoskeleton can now also store small weapons that are only used to knock out or distract enemies, like tranquilizer darts or smoke bombs, as well as generate wings for flight or hover over water, allowing the wearer to walk over it in essence.
As for the Database Library, Billy also grants the request for 6k1. He immediately sends people from his company who deal with it to help. The new additions are mostly upgrades to existing features, but they do also repair flawed ones or add new ones based on what has happened to the Library recently.
Panem
As Aya still awaits for the response in her interview, she sees the TV at the Winter's End. It shows that the cathedral is nearing completion as there are more reports of objects coming to life. She thought, "Interesting incident."
Meanwhile, a day ago, Julius was working on the game as usual. He also allowed Scroop to help with the running when the champion declared that he wanted to help with the game. As he was led to the control room, he helped with running the game alongside a random gamemaker. When the game started, before Scroop could leave, he witnessed Igor managing to breach the door to the room. The aspiring assistant and mad scientist soon revealed his newest evil invention, and used it to gun down Scroop first, turning him into goo. Julius soon got met with the same fate before the Peacekeepers forced Igor to surrender and return.
Currently, George and Kayla are investigating further while Julius and Scroop are currently in the process of being revived. There are also talks of increasing the security of the control room in light of the Head Gamemaker being killed. Soon, George and Kayla stumbles upon more living objects, and contact Billy about it, who relays what he learns to 6k1.
As for Tableturner, he is interested by how the season has unveiled. He is proud when he saw Vanellope and Unikitty being revived like Undyne did in one timeline, then killing their enemy, Turbo. After the season is over, he has Turbo revived in his base anyway, but he immediately contacts Billy about it, asking him to lock Turbo in his prison. He then nominates two Saurons after granting permission to 6k1's scientists.
Kendor
Georgia hears what 6k1 says and responds, "Although I want to teach you some techniques myself, and while not doing it yourself to opponents, how to deal with what should I say, purely pragmatic technique like backstabbing if your opponent tries to use that against you, I can arrange the spar."
She soon calls her boss telepathically through a small piece she has on one of her ear. It acts like a phone. The boss soon relays it to Billy through a message, to which he agrees, and Georgia eventually relays back, "I see. I am now waiting for Tabby to come too. I'm interested in the upcoming spar and her potential too."
Kayla's Flashback
William was angry after he got his organic lower arm removed. He screamed, "Damn you! You removed my ability! I'll... I'll kill you alongside everyone here!" William soon charged up his ultimate attack. He forced his cybernetics to absorb huge amount of magical energy from the environment, then formed a gigantic, expanding storm from his hand after raising it up. The storm took the form of a rapidly expanding wall of wind, with loud and powerful thunders roaring on. In the center, was a clear ground though. It's obvious that William planned to devastate the planet.
Kayla immediately reacted, using her eye power to teleport away into a safe space when William started redirecting some winds to sheer right through her body. However, she ended up outside of the wall, which was expanding. She soon tried to escape again, but when she ended up back on the mine crater, she started wincing in pain as she felt pain in her magical eye. She soon saw blood in it as it started to weaken. As it became clear that she was overusing her eye, she suddenly felt her other eye awakening the magical powers too.
She soon felt the wind rushing into the mine and realized that William's storm had grown huge. She soon thought, "I must protect the innocent from him too." This gave her enough confidence to overcome her pain in one eye for now, as she utilized both eyes to teleport back on where William was. As she activated her full power with the eyes, she saw through dimension that the workers managed to evacuate before she got there the second time.
As she faced William again, he started to tell his backstory as he sent attacks after Kayla. Kayla managed to dodge the redirected winds or the direct thunders that William sent at her through making parts of her body intangible, teleporting, or transporting a chunk of space to her location, allowing her to move a rock to block the attack for example. She also managed to dodge the objects that got caught in William's tornado that William threw at her.
All this happened while William said his origin. He was once a regular man born in a planet that was located in Kendor's edge. Due to its distance and unremarkable properties, it was pretty poor and thus plagued with crime. The citizens also didn't have access to the luxuries that most places in Kendor enjoyed. At young age, he was forced into a life of crime to support himself, where he discovered his magical potentials on his own while fighting a rival gang. As he wiped the gang, a member revealed a trick by throwing explosive tags at his legs and one of his arms after he knocked them down with a thunder shot. This destroyed the three limbs.
He would later be captured by the police and had his limbs treated, but the doctors could only replace his limbs with cybernetics due to biological replacements being rare in his homeworld, Wretkan. Despondent upon the whole incident, he encountered a female extraterrestrial named Jayana Askrasha. She was a humanoid alien, a member of the same species as that of the baker who botched 6k1's order years later. She preached about resource equality, the oppression of the poor, and how magic and tech should be accessible to everyone. William was convinced by her rethorics and eventually joined her organization, the Kendorian Struggle for Equality.
Currently, he was dispatched by Jayana to kill Reston, as Jayana believed that he was one of those dirty elites that exploited magic and tech for their own benefits. The fight soon continued as Kayla muttered, "So you are driven by the despair of your situation to do this, William?"
He responded, "Yes, and you shattered my path to him. Time to die!" He soon gathered the winds that he had expanded and lightning he had generated to one point, forming a giant ball above William. The ball was soon compressed into a sharp rod, which came quickly at Kayla. It soon hit her bleeding eye, seemingly dealing damage as she screamed in pain. However, the real one then appeared behind Reston, before cutting the rod to several cubes. They were then transported to hit William's remaining limbs. They went through them like knifes, dismembering William as Kayla revealed, "Basically, I used an advanced aspect of my magic to replace myself with a dimensional illusion, that lingers and can still be affected few seconds after my transformation. Now to the other part."
Kayla finally used a final attack, sending both herself and William to a different dimension, which had various geometric shapes floating about while everything was tinted blue. She soon remarked, "So it's the so-called personal dimension of the dimensional magic users? I guess it's like the people from that one universe." Kayla then formed a portal, dropping William into a random location in Kendor, and then herself out of the dimension and into where Reston was hospitalized.
As she dropped into where Reston was currently treated, which was a room, Kayla said, "I did... it. I beat... the intruder." She soon covered both of her eyes, which had reverted back into their original form, and collapsed from the pain. She would soon wake up in the same hospital as Reston, but she saw the world as blank when she tried opening her eyes. She had gone blind from the overuse of her eyes.
George's Flashback
The final test turned out to be nothing more than a simple personality test. After some questionnaires on what they would do on certain scenarios and how did they feel about certain stuffs, as well as Arvald's own sensing of their impressions, he judged George and Shannon. The dark girl said to George, "I'll show you that my ambition is superior! I'm more superior than you, both in intelligence and magic, while you are just a weak normal person." Indeed, Shannon did have a slight edge against George, and they were both tightly matched in points when the second test ended.
Arvald soon delivered his opinion wisely," After some deliberations, I decide that George would be better at serving as my personal servant than Shannon." Shannon immediately screamed in anger and confusion, "What?!" Arvald then continued, "While he may not have any magical abilities and Shannon has a slight lead knowledge-wise against him, he does make it up with his noble personality, which I can sense even from his aura. Shannon, meanwhile, has dark and intimidating qualities that made her rather unfitting for serving me. That is all applicants. Thanks for joining."
Arvald soon brought George to his observatory in Varaka, while Shannon left, raging inside of her heart. She was highly jealous of George, and angry at Arvald rejecting her. Indeed, the Darkrers were infamously known as power-hungry to the point of being willing to undercut enemies. They were also known to hate muggles, and to possess darkness-related magic, as well as a special curse that would empower them when they completely fell to darkness.
As Shannon pondered at her predicament and seethe on what happened, she felt something inside her heart. A desire for revenge, and also her magic growing stronger. She also looked at a mirror to witness her visibly dark aura manifesting to show how strong her magic got, as well as both of her eyes getting darker. Soon, one of them gained clock motif against complete blackness, and the other skeleton motif. She immediately realized what this meant. She had awakened the Eye of Time and the Eye of Death, and from what she heard, they both could come from the special aura affecting the optical nerves and the eyes, transforming them. She finally smirked as she got confident in her new abilities.

She then enters an enclosed area, accompanied by a new Xen lifeform she hasn't seen before.

Tabby arrives at where Magolor is at and drops the Mage Sisters off. She then leaves the area while continuing a call.She swivels out of the monster's way while blasting explosives at it and picks up speed.
"Yes,I'm coming to Kendor for setting up your new branch. A friend of mine needed help with something.
"Okay, please pick up the haste."
"Please be patient,I'm checking the navigator a lot to get to there. I never went to Kendor before."
"Understood.You also told me after the meeting you'll be meeting with somebody for something important,am I correct?"
"Yes,the person in question is 6k1. She’s in Kendor as well and her final test will be a match against me."
"Oh,a battle? That will be interesting."
"Yes it is. I'm almost there so I will be ending this call."
"See you soon at the meeting! We'll make it quick!"
"Ok,see ya."
Tabby hangs up and continues focusing on the road and the built in navigator.
After an hour or so driving and dimension hopping,Tabby finally arrives at Kendor's borders and goes under a check. After it’s done,She finally looks at awe at the shiny concrete canyon of its Capital City.
"At last,I'm here! Now let’s get that meeting over with!"

"Pragmatism, huh?" 6k1 ponders. "I've seen many tributes use underhanded tactics on their enemies, so I'd like to learn how to defend myself from them."
"Well said, my child," says Toriel, "Undyne would agree with you since she fights fairly in battles."
The DM nods and does some warm-ups while waiting for Tabby. She then desummons her armor for a while, takes a seat, and checks her messages, wondering about non-food items coming to life, too. No word about the Treatlings just yet...
She clutches her chest when Claire tells her about Sci-Twi and Midnight Sparkle.
"Does this have to do with your 'tribute theft' problem?" asks Toriel. "I know it hurts you if I make the podium under someone else, but that doesn't make me less of your tribute or mom."
"Well..." says 6k1, "while I fear that my tributes might abandon me for another nominator or get scooped up by an abusive one, I'm more concerned about Midnight coexisting with Sci-Twi. This isn't the first time it happened."
She explains to Toriel that she originally nominated Twilight's human counterpart for OT Season 104, but didn't expect her evil self to show up. It just so happened that that was the first Clone Season, so something must've caused Midnight to split from her...
"Honestly, I have no idea either," says the goat.
"To be fair, there were a lot of clones and alt selves that season, so anything's possible. I just hope Sci-Twi will be able to defeat her like how Vanellope defeated Turbo."
6k1 then receives the message from Billy about the whereabouts of Bale.
"Oh my..." says Toriel. "I hope his Pokémon will be able to rescue him!"
"Yeah... but whoever this Freyja is, she seems like another great obstacle in their path. Good luck..."

Out
Bale's Pokemon prepared themselves as they got out of the base as soon as they could... Alcyone snuck past some guards with his intangibility and invisibility to steal a portal gun. While Olive left a trap with sleep powder on their path to prevent anyone from following them.
Diny: Let's have a go at it!
Olive: I'm ready to go.
Ace: Adventure, here we go!
The others simply agreed in silence as they opened a portal with the gun.
Diny: Wherever we're going, we'll have to stick together.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

Panem
Scipion, still frustrated over missing a season didn't noticed a Treatling, flying right over him.
"Boss!! Look! A flying donut!" Onox yelled.
"Seriously? You know you suck at making jokes." the Zoroark muttered.
"I'm not joking boss! Look!"
Grunting, Scipion looked above him and noticed the creature.
"...What the fuck is that?"
"No idea. But it looks tasty!" Onox said, licking his lips. Before the Treatling could react, Onox jumped at it and held it firmly.
"It smells good. And I'm hungry. Time to e-"
"Wait a second, Onox." Scipion ordered suspiciously. "I don't know what the hell are those things, but you shouldn't eat that."
"But it's just a donut!"
"Right. A flying donut with wings, eyes and a mouth. We don't know what's inside that thing, it could be poisonned. So no. Let it go or just kill it if you want, but don't eat that shit."
"Oh... Okay." Onox said, disappointed, leaving the scared Treatling to escape.
"So... What now, boss?" Onox asked
"Well since I missed that season, I guess I should have enough time to meet Sixty. But... there's one tiny problem."
"What?"
"She said she was training in Scrooge's homeworld, Kendor. And I don't know where the hell that is." Scipion sighed
"Maybe try at random then?"
"That's what I was going to say. But if by any chances we actually reach Kendor, you don't do anything until I say so." Scipion grinned, summoning a portal.
Both Pokemon entered the portal to an unknown destination, hoping it would be Kendor.
Meanwhile, Giegue looked with curiosity at the portal gun. It reminded him of GLaDOS, a previous member from Scipion's guard. Mewtwo was still doubtful about Bale's Pokémons abilities but he and his "brother" followed them into the portal.
Expedition Society Headquarters
Eventually, the Rescue Squad and the Blue Wings reached the building without any trouble. On the way home, Aaron briefly felt that something was wrong. It was his aura, being able to detect the crystal's actions, but it wasn't developped enough for him to notice it.
"So. This is where we part ways. I suppose I should at least thank you for your assistance, Rescue Squad. We shall meet again, Rescue Squad" James said before going to the local restaurant with Arthur to order some drinks.
"Bartender! A nice golden cup of tea, please." he said to the barman, a Krokorok, giving him the money.
"'Right. It'll be 600 Pokés. What about your buddy?"
"A beer." the stoic Decidueye said quietly.
"Got it. Beer's 10 Pokés here."
"For Arceus's sake, beer? Arthur, can you not take a more refined breverage? If you want alchol, take some wine instead of... beer!"
"We've already talked about this before. It's cheap, unlike you, I don't have any money, I like beer and I don't need to drink in a golden glass." Arthur muttered, sitting on a wooden chair.
"Fine." James sighed, smiling before paying everything to the barman. He then took both drinks to the table where Arthur was.
Meawnhile, the Rescue Squd headed back to Lucian's cave.
"Well damn. Not a single hint about a Crystal or the Ember Empress..."
"Yeah. I'm also frustrated that we came back empty-handed. I just hope that we'll do better next time." Aaron sighed.

New Lands
The portal opened on the Pokemon world that Bale's team came from. They were in the middle of Unova's biggest city, Castelia. Where humans and Pokemon were seen on the streets.
Diny: Hey I recognize this place, it's the World we came from.
Olive: Oh good, we can organize ourselves here.
The others then decided to take a rest and began searching for equipment to take from human shops.
Other What
Bale stared in confusion at the Blight's question.
Bale: The Other What? Excuse me, but I have no idea of who that guy is...

The burger beast escapes after the encounter, and Magolor pick up Francisca and Flamberge. Magolor then realizes that the beast is approaching Tabby's Base.
"Magolor, it would be a disaster if it attacked Tabby's!" said Sam.
Magolor then drives the Spacepod into Tabby's Base. He then makes a message to whoever's in Tabby's Base that a monster is coming to get them. Meanwhile, Strawberry Shortcake runs up, as if jumping to the call.

Ruler of Everything
The Only One
"A monster is coming? Hopefully It's not the Legion of Doom. You know what,I'll set up fortifications around the base and set up some traps like bear traps.
Pecan then puts up a shield around the base and grabs some bear traps to put around the shield.

Fiery cave, flashback
"You are the Other One, little Bale. The other destroyer. The other evil. Similar, but also different from Scattered Brain, for you chose to reject this part of you. We are all wondering this. Have you truly changed? We all hopes that, whatever you will choose in the future, you will be entertaining to us..."
Castelia
Mewtwo stared coldly at the various humans and Pokemon in his ways. Most of them actually ran away from him, knowing how dangerous he could be when upset. One young trainer foolishy threw a Master Ball at Mewtwo, only for the Legendary to stop it using his thelepatic power before crushing it.
"You're lucky that I am in a good mood. Scram." he ordered. The sacred trainer obeyed. Similarly to the other Pokemons, he entered a shop, followed by Giegue. It didn't took long for the customers and the shoppers to run away as well.
"Mewtwo, is it truly necessary to threaten people like that?" Giegue sighed, taking various supplies with him as well as various scientific books.
"Well, it's far more easier to find supplies without humans bothering you."
"And can't we just... mind-control them? It would cause far less mayhem."
"We could, but honestly I hate using this ability. Controlling people's mind against their wills is a power that I prefer not to use." Mewtwo confessed.
Legion of Doom's lair, Eris's room
Eris was busy sending one of her pets spreading chaos on one random planet.
"3... 2... 1..." she said. Just as she finished, a portal opened up, revealing Scipion and Onox.
"Obviously, the first try was a failure. Oh, hi Eris." the Zoroark sighed while Onox just looked at the space-like room in confusion.
"Why hello there, dear nominator. How it it going recently?" the goddess answered, smiling maliciously.
"Could be better. You've started a little purge, did you?"
"Yes. All of those who were too weak or who were against the High Commands got eliminated."
"Meh. Guess we should go, I don't really have time to lose with your shitty legion."
Scipion immediately left, summoning another portal leading to a random location for him and Onox. Eris sighed after they left.
"Well, that's too bad. I didn't even told him about Bale or the plans we were preparing against the other nominators... Oh well, it's not like he really cares about them anymore."

Kirby
Near Tabby's Base
The Burger Monster has arrived. Roaring at the edge, it tries to grab the ground but ends up getting it's arm snapped by a beartrap. Despite this, it pulls the traps off and attempts to break through the shield.
Strawberry Shortcake then grabs a bowl of candy and eats all of it. She then glows slightly. Surprisingly, she spoke to Kirby and Ribbon, claiming that someone is in trouble. The Spacepod lands near Tabby's base, and Strawberry, along with Kirby, Magolor, and Ribbon, run out. Magolor then calls Pecan and asks if she can help defeat the beast.

Viva la rabbit hero or somethin
QZ, City 17
The creature attempts to latch onto Shiva's face, but she swats it effortlessly. It then disappears in an electric cloud in order to throw her off.
"Not like I wanted it right away..."
She then continues to find a way out of here. After she finally leaves, Alyx continues her trek... only for the creature to return and jump into a corpse, possessing it in the process.
"Joy."
"At first, I was like "hmmm, yeah, buff choccy bunny." But bro: I don't think it's a joke anymore..."

Supplies to Go
The only person in the store not to be afraid was the owner.l, an old lady well over 80 years old and her partner, a Passimian, the two calmly attended the Pokemon and Giegue attending the store.
Shop Owner: I see you're here as usual, Diny. What do you want to buy?
Diny: I'd like some 10 bluc berries. And 20 Full Restores.
Shop Owner: Good, that'll be 15,000 z.
Diny then paid for the food. The Passimian looked at Mewtwo and offered him a Payapa Berry it was eating.
Knowdlege
Bale was confused by the Bligh even further.
Bale: I still think you got the wrong guy, anyways. Can I go now? Or try to find a way back home?
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."
Link
Fiery ruins, flashback
"See with Chickick. She knows better. All what matters is the Other One's survival."
Fiery ruins
Several days passed with Freyja rarely speaking to Bale. The only time she did, it was for bringing him food or water, althought it was extremely minimal, like her usual meals. And one day
"Hmph. That creature may seems like a fool, but at least it respected it's words." she muttered to herself, having received a reward for her mission. She then came to Bale.
"That means that I no longer need to take care of you. Maybe you've not recovered enough and I'm pretty sure that so-called Legion of Doom is still active but I don't care. Feel free to stay here or find your way out. My job is done here, and I have other bounties to hunt. Who knows, maybe one of your friends will be next on my list." she coldly said.
Castelia
Mewtwo looked at the Passimian. The legendary nodded, as a way of saying thanks before eating the Payapa Berry.
"We were lucky to actually end in a friendly universe. I think we're done here." Giegue said after paying his own supplies.
Lower Norfair, Zebes
The next place Scipion and Onox appeared in was deep inside Ridley's lair.
"B-Boss... It's hot..." Onox tried to say, barely able to support the infernal heat.
"Heh... Yeah... We couldn't have been on a worst place on Zebes than here..." Scipion muttered as well. Even if he came in Lower Norfair before, the heat was still difficult to handle, even for the Zoroark.
Suddenly, the ceiling broke and a Chozo statue fell on the floor. The statue opened it's eyes, got up and took a gold like color. It was a Golden Torizo. Because Ridley was not here, the Torizo was programmed to defend it's master lair from anyone who weren't space pirates.
"Ugh. We've got no time for this. I'm going to summon another port-" Scipion sighed before realising that Onox was running towards the Torizo in an instinctive attempt to protect his boss, thinking he was in danger. The statue dodged the Toxtricity's punch with ease before kicking him violently in the chest, sending him flying. It then threw deadly waves of energy that would have cut him into pieces if it wasn't for Scipion to block the attacks, with the help of his Void's powers.
"DAMNIT, ONOX! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? THAT THING WAS ABOUT TO KILL YOU!!" Scipion screamed in anger, worried that Onox got hurt.
"Boss... It was attacking you..."
"That's not because something is attacking me you have to step in! You're obviously weaker than me, I don't need you to throw away your life for nothing. Now get in that portal right now!" Scipion ordered, distracting the Torizo by using Night Daze on the floor, causing the statue to jump away. Not wanting to destroy one of his tribute most powerful's creations, Scipion ran to the portal and left the ruins.

Light and Hope
Terminus' Realm, just after the end of the last season
The Entity of Darkness watches as the Legion of Doom begins their move at last.
"Hmm.... this is about to go very interesting."
"What shall we do, my liege?" the Shang Tsung who serves him asks.
"We wait. With the Legion of Doom on the move, I sense their downfall to be near. I'm sure Akumo will wish to make an alliance with them, anyway. Let him deal with it. How's the Homunculi?"
"Still incapacitated after their foray into the Games, my liege."
"I'm sure he had told them not to go, but they were confident. Oh well, how is he doing?"
"He should be here anytime now."
As if on cue, a familiar man arrives by portal.
"So, here you are.... Dark Dave."
"I noticed.... Terminus. It's nice to see you too," the Dark Nominator says sarcastically.
"Well, you're the one who came to me sometime ago. So, have you done it?"
"Yes. I've extracted it." He shows a vial of something in a familiar dark purple shade.
"Good. Now, let's see if this will work."
He summons a body with his magic, and the three begin a ritual, which ends with Dark Dave opening the vial and pouring its contents into the body. The body begins to float as wings protrude from its shoulders and a horn appears on its forehead. The body opens its eyes, as its physical appearance transform into what seems to be a girl completely warped by the power of magic. This.... is Midnight Sparkle.
"Heheheheh..... I LIVE AGAIN, AT LAST!"
"Welcome to your new life, then," Terminus speaks, causing Midnight to turn towards him.
"Who are you?! I will not allow the knowledge I seek to fall to the hands of anyone else!"
"Still just like you were before, it seems. My name is Terminus, and I am the Entity of Darkness responsible for your rebirth. You seek knowledge, do you not? I can help you with that."
Midnight raises an eyebrow at him, as he explains his idea. But soon, she smirks evilly.
"Sounds like you know what you're doing. Very well, but I demand knowledge as the payment!"
"All in due time, seeker of knowledge. All in due time. You may go anywhere, but I suggest the Arena first. Besides, you can't pass up an opportunity to see her," Terminus smirks as he conjures a projection of the human Midnight was born from: the human Twilight Sparkle.
"You mean she's there? (evil laugh) This, I cannot pass up! Very well, I will go there, and I intend to win. I look forward to see her reaction to my rebirth!" She laughs once more as she teleports into the Arena.
Dave's Home Base
And that's the last one, Dave notes to himself.
He thinks back to the meteor shower watch party; it was a view to die for. Link for one was happy to spend time with Zelda, as well as getting acquainted with the Blue Pun Clan. The others are equally happy with it, even though it was rather short.
Then things just suddenly happen. All of a sudden, the Soundwave Network warned him of several cases involving weird creatures across several places under his control. Taking care of them was not easy, either, forcing him to step in personally, and although the threat has diminished, the Base remains on alert.
And then, while almost finishing the search for the missing books from the History Wing, the Network receives another message: an SOS from Bale. Dave was about to begin mobilizing troops when a message from Tabby arrives, explaining that the Legion of Doom is likely setting a trap, causing him to abandon the mobilization and put the Base and associated worlds under heavy alert, which in US military terms would estimate to "Defcon 3". When Billy's message came, he decided that there has to be a reason all of this is happening to Bale, so he decided, to his great reluctance and his advisers' heavy persuasion, to lay down and wait, while sending several search drones to investigate for further possible clues.
Currently, the sorting of the books had just finished recently, and he's just finished making something for a belated birthday gift for 6k1: a necklade made of titanium, with a silver token shaped like the symbol of
◊ the Master of Masters and his Book of Prophecies. He writes down a message for her:
Dear sis,
It's been a while. Sorry it took so long, but hey, better late than never, right? So, I made you this necklace. It has a special charm to it: It can either boost your strength for three minutes, or it can cast a magical barrier to protect you for up to seven minutes. Sadly, it can't do both, but I hope this will be of great use to you. The booster needs to be recharged for ten minutes, while the barrier if fully exhausted will require five.
Oh, and if you want to, you can use the barrier in short bursts for a few secs, and when it blocks something, you can then shatter it to damage opponents, like this
◊. This form of tactic also works for the booster is also helpful because it allows for a shorter recharge, since the mana automatically recharges if either of them is not in use. I'll send it over to your men at the Library so they can send it to you over at Kendor.
By the way, before I forget, remember those books from the History Wing? I've finally managed to track all of them down, and the Base is currently sending them all to the Library as we speak.
I hope you're having a good day, sis. And I'll see you soon. Happy belated birthday!
Your brother,
Dave
After he sends the message, he takes a look at the transport ship he commisioned to carry the books. He then takes out a small box, with the note "To 6k1: For Your Eyes Only" written on it, and places the necklace inside it and sealing it with the note. Calling the captain, he gives her the box.
"You take this, and you give it to the men at the Library. They will handle it from there."
The captain nods, as she accepts the box and departs. Dave, meanwhile, decides to take a rest, but not before nominating Gordon Ramsay.
The Database Library
The ship docks outside the Library, and the captain orders her crew to begin loading the books. Going into the Entrance Hall, she tells the receptionist that she is asked to deliver the books to the History Wing, and gives the box to her, saying that it's a package for 6k1 and that she is asked to deliver it and nothing more. She then leaves to help the loading process of the books.
Equestria
Starfall draws a relieved breath.
He looks at his handiwork: a special trinket, its chain made of gold and a diamond token of fleur-de-lis
◊. He writes down a letter:
To Power,
Sorry for being late, but I am a bit occupied by my travels after our last encounter. It's simple, but it's the best I can manage, and I poured everything I could making this by myself in my spare time. So.... happy belated birthday! I hope you'll love it, and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Starfall
He seals the message in an envelope, and places the trinket and the envelope in a small box, which he then seals shut. Afterwards, he sends it to Power's home by mail, before continuing on his travels once more.

The Portal
Bale decided to leave Frayja's side. He told her a quick thanks, if reclutant and promptly went off to go back to where he was... He eventually found a part with deceased plantlife and a mysterious purple triangular-shaped portal.
◊ Which led to another world entirely.
Bale: Alright, guess this should be close enough. Anywhere but this madhouse would be better.
He then jumped inside the portal, unaware that from afar ???'s Legion overlooked his actions.
???'s Dimension
Reider: Well done, VengefulBale, you have now received our assistance. Go and thwart that Legion, to clear the way for us.
Mefilas: He does not know what's coming in the future, but for now he'll have help on his way back to his current residence, hohoho.
Back to Bale
Bale exited the portal in what seemed to be an island... Nothing was in sight... Until he saw a curious small creature
bouncing about without a care. It had a red body, and gray/black striped legs. The creature approached him with friendly intent.
Bale: Oh, I know what you are, you're a Pigmon!
The creature kept bouncing happily until it suddenly stopped it's movements, looking unnerved by something. Until it finally decided to suddenly push Bale towards a cave, rather hurriedly.
Bale: Hey, what's the big idea?
As Bale peeked outside the cave, he saw why Pigmon went into hiding and hid him as well... There was a giant monster outside, Red King
◊. It was seen holding the remains of another monster, eating them rather messily and bloodily
Bale: Man, my streak of bad luck just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?
Outgoing
Diny smiled at Mewtwo accepting the Passimian's gift, perhaps deep down he wasn't as bad as he thought. He met up with the rest of the team, all of them having taken what they wanted.
Olive: Ready to go, Diny!
Ace: Is the portal gun still working?
Diny: Correct, if my calculations are not mistaken, we have about 5 more uses before it stops working completely.
Alcyone: Those odds I like, let's go ahead to our next location.
They fired the portal gun to the next safe place they could find... 6K1's Base...
Short Drabble
Mini-Deadpool warped himself to Billy's place. Hoping to get in contact with him to try and save Bale. Meanwhile Mr. Godzilla began rallying heroes from Lakewood Plaza Turbo and the villains that formerly worked at Boxmore alike from the OKKO World to strike against the villain alliance, knowing that all help would be needed to defeat the Legion of Doom, while many were skeptical, he convinced them by showing them what would happen to their world as he pointed out several parts of the World they inhabited were getting erased from existence as the worlds merged into one and the laws of existence began conflicting with one another, as well as for the heroes to save KO from the Legion, as he was currently stuck as TKO in there.

Timothy greets the captain and lets her help Sophie arrange the stolen books and deliver the late birthday gift to 6k1. He then sees Bale's Pokémon arrive and greets them, too.
"Are you in need of assistance?"
Power's Home
Miranda enters the room with Starfall's gift, and Power wears the trinket around her neck.
"Tell him I said thanks!" Power says to her aunt before trying it on.
◊ After Miranda leaves, Power watches the news. The camera's focused on the Science Center, and the reporter is interviewing Claire.
"So Ms. Hartmut, what are these creatures called again?"
"Treatlings," says the scientist. "They have Star Energy inside them, which comes from the meteors that crashed on the hilltop the day before Season 91."
"Interesting. Do they have powers of any sort?"
"So far, the specimens we have in the lab are exhibiting powers related to their kind."
The camera switches to inside the lab, where the news crew were given permission to enter. The pretzel stretches its arms to unlock its tank while the quesadilla spits corrosive cheese at the walls of its own. Anthony desperately tries to contain them while the other scientists round up the living lab equipment.
"And it's not just the food that came to life," says Claire when the camera focuses on her again. "We're still trying to come up with a name for these other creatures since other sources reported military transport and equipment becoming sentient, too."
"I see... We went around and interviewed several witnesses of this phenomenon, and they reported sightings of hostile Treatlings. Would you say that the Science Center's prepared for possible attacks?"
"Yes, our staff has cutting-edge technology to tame them if we need to. However, some of these creatures are too dangerous for us to contain, so we have to give them away to other researchers."
Anthony and the others then go outside and set the cages in front of them. Some of the creatures inside are trying to escape like wild animals, so they all keep watch of them.
"So if anyone would like to help us in our research, please drop us a line or come to us here!"
The news segment ends. Power was right about the meteors causing the food shortage a few seasons back. Thankfully their energy didn't reach all the way to her town, because who knows what could've happened at the pizza parlor on her birthday...?
Naturally, she tells Ichi about the news, even showing him Starfall's gift for her.
Kendoria, Sword School
The doorbell rings. Georgia gets it and has the post officer deliver the gift to 6k1. The DM opens it and lets Toriel arrange the Heart Locket on the necklace.
"My child... you're getting prettier every day!"
"Thanks Mom," says 6k1, hugging her.
Her phone rings, and she answers Claire's call about the Treatlings, saying that everyone should stay on guard as always, and be careful with giving them away. 6k1 then orders the Maintenance Department to clean up the lab and has replacement equipment shipped there, too.
"So those creatures are like Flowey, except that instead of Determination infused with... Asriel's dust, they have energy that comes from space?"
"Yes," says 6k1. "We're still researching about this, but I doubt if they have SAVE powers, too."
She also tells Alphys about this, then gets up and shows Georgia the charm Dave gifted her, explaining to her what it does. 6k1 then resummons her armor and prepares for her training session.

"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
"Yup. Everything's all good over here, I tell you what."
Bale's base
Mewtwo thought about their idea.
"Why not? The more numerous we are, the better it would be."
Giegue approached Xochi's body and inspected it.
"Hmmmm... I think I can repair that robot. I had some in my army back then, I'm sure we can bring it back to life."
Suddenly, a huge pain filled Giegue's head, causing him to scream.
''iT hURt. PokEEEEE... hUrT" a familiar eldritch voice said inside the alien's head.
"Giegue??!!"
"I'm... I'm fine... It's just Giygas... It does this very often. But don't worry. that's nothing." Giegue muttered
Mewtwo sighed. The situation was already a bad one, they didn't needed a eldritch mad god to take care of.
"I seriously think we have to try to remove Giygas from you soon..."
Fire cave
"How very familiar. I understand better why Scattered Brain refers to you as the Other One." a deep eldritch voice muttered as a giant hand gently patted Bale's head.
It was the Fireblight Ganon, popping up just like that, taking the appearance of a fusion between itself and Daruk
Freyja sighed and looked as the beast was glaring at Bale.
"Hmph. You showed up. This thing is what paid me to keep your ass alive." she sighe annoyed before staring at the creature.
"If you're here, does that mean our deal is over?"
"Not yet, Chickick. Scattered Brain only wished to see if the Other One was fine. And he is." the creature said.
"Will you stop calling me that? For the last time, foolish creature, my name is Freyja."
"Is your name not Chickick?"
"Whatever. Just make sure to respect the deal, I don't care about whatever you or your "scattered whatever" are planning to do. Now quiet." she ordered callously before meditating again, cutting herself of the conversation.
The Fireblight,still glaring at Bale strangely obeyed. The creature carried Bale on it's head before entering the lava lake, walking inside it until they were at a safe distance.
"Scattered Brain have questions for the Other One since it has been such a long time you two did not see each other. Scattered brain would have like to give them to the Other One in person, but Scattered Brain being a scatter-brain lost itself again. So, I will ask them to you myself."
"First question. How is the Other One doing?" it asked, mimicking a more childish tone when it asked the question
