*on the balcony of the Crystal Empire palace*
Cadance: *walks up* Everypony, we have a have a very special announcement that you all have been waiting to hear! Without further delay, please welcome Reptilius Scalzar! *steps aside* Tai: *walks up* Thank you, Princess. Citizens of the Crystal Empire! It has recently come to my attention that ever since Equestria was admitted into Lizodia, everypony here wanted the same. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that starting today, the Crystal Empire is now officially part of Lizodia! *the crowd erupts into cheer* Tai: To celebrate this momentous occasion in true Crystal Empire tradition, we will be having a week long fair! Everyone who wants to come is invited! *the crowd erupts into even more cheer* Tai: Without further delay, let's get this fair started! *walks back inside the palace with everyone else*
*downstairs*
Tai: Alright! THIS is why we came back! Ariel: Indeed it was. Primocraetus: I do love seeing everyone in good spirits. Tai: I just hope Lucy will soften up. Primocraetus: I heard about her kind, they had it hard. Tai: Understatement of the century. Pinkie: *bounces up* Tai: Pinkie, perfect timing. How are the preparations going? Pinkie: Going great! Twilight and the others are getting things set up fast! Tai: Glad to hear. *Chamelia, Salamandra and Sailda run in* Chamelia: King Reptilius! Tai: I thought you three were were checking out that new planet? Chamelia: Something weird happened and we ended up on the Inferno. The planet phased back to its original realm. Salamandra: Yeah, so we decided to come here instead of going back and possibly getting involved with more fighting. We hope you don't mind. Tai: Hey, that's fine. The strange planet can wait. So when did you three get here? Sailda: We got here just before your announcement. Tai: Couldn't have timed it any better. Salamandra: Nope. Tai: So yeah, we can catch up once the fair's set up. Chamelia: Sounds good to me! Salamandra: Oh yeah! Sailda: Can't wait.
*in an unknown location*
Chrysalis: Ugh, it's been so long since we got beat by those ponies. Changeling: Any ideas, my Queen? Chrysalis: No, and that's the problem! *suddenly a corridor of darkness opens and out steps a certain being with a raven on their shoulder* Chrysalis: Who are you supposed to be? Being: Someone who can be of help.

SS: *Pins a certain ninja-nurse to a wall, hands clasped around her throat* WHERE THE FUCK AM I AND WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
Valentine: *Choking* Over…lord, it’s me! It’s…. Honji!
SS: *Tightens grip* BULLSHIT!
Valentine: I… let my guard down… in the Sarg HQ and my death was faked… in the Purstl wars!
SS: … *Lets her go*
‘Valentine’: *Falls to her knees and gasps for air*
SS: Alright then. Assuming you’re really my friend in that body, we need to find a way to get you back into your real body.
Honji: *Stands up* You have no idea. There’s someone else in this body. She’s unconscious, but it’s getting harder to keep her that way. It also seems she’s…. um… Well let’s say the Hippocratic oath means as much to her as living a normal live as a civilian does to Laharl.
SS: *Pales* Oooooh.
Semi-mechanical voice: ‘Ey toots! Ja’know anythin’ ‘bout this freak?!
SS: *Looks around to see, to no-ones surprise, Peacock*
Peacock: I said toots, not batman.
SS: Batma- *Checks his reflection in a nearby window*
He has much shorter claws, his wings are gone… well not exactly GONE so much as migrated to his arms and he has a mouthful of bat fangs
SS: THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
Peacock: Y’know bucko, it ain’t nice to swear in front of a lady!
Honji: Erm… sorry about my friend, he’s just… (Sheepishly) slightly delusional.
SS: I’M WHAT NOW?!
Peacock: ‘Eh, no worries. He ain’t got nuttin’ on MY delusions! Ain’t that right Avery?
A small, turquoise bird lifts up the cyborgs hat. The Sargs are stunned when they realize that not only like Peacock does it have no eyes, it’s also pretty much dressed the same way
Avery: Yep! *Lowers the hat*
SS: … Is there a flea dressed like you under HER hat?
Peacock: (Offended) ‘Course not! It’s a gnat. Anywho, ya seen this freak? *Holds up a picture of Painwheel*
Honji: Sorry, no.
SS: Nope.
Peacock: Darn’t. Thought I’d take out the competition.
SS: (Suddenly interested) Competition?
Peacock: Yeah, ta kill the Skullgirl.
SS: *Looks at Honji*
Honji: *Shrugs, just as lost as him*
Peacock: Y’all really ARE new here ain’cha? *Explains about the goddesses, the skull heart and the anti-skullgirl labs*
SS: So you were a mutilated orphan, now you’re a homicidal cyborg cartoon?
Peacock: Just about tha gist of it, but we’ve been standin’ around talkin’ too long, Cameron always has too much exposition! This post needs ta have ACTION trinity-damnit!
SS: (Completely lost) What, who and why in that order?!
Honji: *Twitches* I need… to fight… her… *Assumes a combat stance*
Peacock: AAAAAAALLRIGHTY THEEEEEEEN! *Takes out a gun and fires five cannonballs in rapid succession*
Honji: *Tries to jump over them, but is too slow. The first hits her in the ankle, she falls onto the second head-first and hit in the spine by the other two* *Gets up painfully*
SS: *Watching Honji in horror and not for how poorly she’s going*
Honji: *Reaches for her weapon and starts panicking when she realizes it’s not there*
Peacock: Ya got a bonesaw, toots! Use it!
Honji: (Stressed) Do you have any idea how impractical a bone saw is in fast-paced combat?! No matter how fast I am, the teeth will catch on flesh unless you stand still long enough for me to finish cutting!
Peacock: NO EXPOSITION! *Holds up her gun again* SHING!
Honji: *Remembers she’s fighting a living cartoon and barely manages to duck, avoiding getting impaled on her enemies gun-sword*
Peacock: *Whistles, jumps on Honji and starts avoiding her as the Sagrotan tries to throw her off* *Jumps off*LOOK OUT BELOW!
Honji: *Looks up and desperately dives to the side. Nonetheless, her foot’s caught under an Easter Island head*
Peacock: Aww, too bad. *Walks over and puts her gun against Honjis head*
Honji: *Knocks it aside, brings the maniac down to her level facing away from her and starts sawing at her throat at unnaturally high speeds, decapitating her*
Peacocks head: Bleck! Gaaaah. *Goes limp*
Honji: *Grunts in pain* Help?!
SS: *Shakes head* Right! *Pushes it enough so she can draw her foot back*
Honji: *Hisses* I think it’s broken. Wait… Of course it’s broken, it was under a giant stone head!
SS: *Uses and Overlord strike and it’s healed* The machine’s still working then. Good.
Honji: Let’s… let’s just get my body back. I can’t move properly with these things. Or this weapon. Or this psycho in my head. And the clothing’s too loose.
SS: And too short.
Honji: (Dismissively) That too.
SS: So, any idea where your body mi- …. You have got to be freaking kidding me.
Honji: Overlord?
SS: *Points to a gutter* Overdouche-strike #1. Freaky crap.
A light purple beam erupts from Honji to her body
Honji: *Just lying there*
Valentine: *Blinks* Ooh, now you’re something I don’t see much of. What say we… head back to my place? You’ll be an excellent test subj-*Chokes*
Honji: *Has hooked her arm around the ninja-nurses neck and brought her down to Honjis height.* Stay. Away. From my Overlord Shadow- AH! I-I mean Supreme Overlord Shadow! … Oh, screw it! *Punches Valentine in the side of the head and throws her to the ground*
Valentine: *Gets to her feet*
Honji: *Kicks her across the face*
Valentine: *Dazed* I’ve got a lov-er-ly bunch of coconuts…
Honji: *Kicks again, this time knocking out her opponant*
SS: *Grins* Great to have ya back in a form I recognize, Honji.
Honji: Good to have my body back. *Thinks back to Carbonella and Spectra* (After having them? No, I really prefer practicality.)
SS: Now, I need something to fix me. *Starts walking* And not just the appearance, there’s also metal covering my bones that I’ve been meaning to get rid of for a few days now. I mean come on, who has metal covering their bones? And how did it get there in the first place?
Peacocks body rises and starts feeling around for its head
Peacocks head: Over here!
Peacocks body: *Grabs it and puts it on. Backwards*
Peacock: *Blinks and turns it so she’s looking in the right direction*Heheheh. Maybe I can find the Skullgirl if I follow them. Or at least find someone else who’s lookin’ for her and WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT EXPOSITION?!
Piss off, I’m writing this.
Peacock: Yeah, but I’m a pre-established character, not one of your crappy OCs-
An aircraft carrier lands on her *Reaches down and lifts it off her*
Peacock: … ‘Eh, I’ll just follow ‘em. *Does so*

Chrysalis: So, what are you even doing here? You say you can help us, but with what? Being: Your wish to conquer Equestria, of course. Chrysalis: How did you know...? Being: I've been monitoring this place ever since these two first showed up. *waves a magic staff and images of Tai and Ariel appear* Chrysalis: I've never seen them before. Being: They have proven to be quite a nuisance. If your kind are to conquer Equestria, they will need to be disposed of. Chrysalis: What's so special about them? Being: They rule what is called the Lizodian Empire, which spans multiple realms. They have recently brought in both Equestria and the Crystal Empire. Chrysalis: How dangerous would you say they are? Being: Very, they have defeated me two times thus far. To think they would harbor a soft spot for ponies of all creatures... Chrysalis: If you can't beat them, what makes you think you can help? Being: Because I know how they act, what weapons they use, what have you. Chrysalis: I see. So what do they use? Being: A variety. But one weapon the male uses is very powerful. *waves staff and a giant key appears* The Keyblade, a weapon that chooses its wielder. Chrysalis: What a strange weapon. Being: The female there has been chosen as well, but she has forgotten, for now. Chrysalis: So besides information, what can you bring? Being: I command strange creatures that will go right after both Keyblade wielders. *waves staff and a small black humanoid creature with yellow eyes appears* Chrysalis: When do we begin? Being: When the time is right. For you see, there is something you should know about a certain purple pony. Chrysalis: Twilight Sparkle... what do you know about her?
*back at the Crystal Empire, everyone's just walking around the festival*
Tai: Yep, this is exactly what we needed after that war. Ariel: Indeed. Chamelia: It's nice to be able to experience peace once in a while. Salamandra: You got that right! These ponies are so adorable! Salida: That they are. Twilight: Glad you're enjoying yourselves. Ariel: Wait, what happened to Lucy and Balvorn? Tai: I'm sure they're around. Hopefully this'll help Lucy come to terms with her past... Sailda: Yeah, that poor girl. Tai: Anyway, let's not dwell on that. We're supposed to be celebrating! Chamelia: Hey, why don't we check out some of the attractions? Salamandra: Great idea, sis!
(Have a quick little post for now. Got BIG plans for later.)

*in an unknown location* Chrysalis: An alicorn? Her? Being: Yes, she is one in other versions of Equestria. Naturally the same will eventually occur here. Chrysalis: So, why don't we strike now? If we can prevent Twilight Sparkle from becoming an alicorn princess, why not? Being: We do not want to be hasty. Chrysalis: What about those shadowy things? Can't they help? Being: The Heartless are strong in numbers, but they are also weak to the Keyblade. Chrysalis: I see... Maybe we should wait. At least we can keep an eye on these Keyblade wielders here. *in the Crystal Empire, away from view* Tai: Hey Ariel, you got a minute? Ariel: What's going on? Tai: I've been getting strange dreams and they got me thinking. *summons his Keyblades, Eternal Bond and Two Become One* How can I summon two of these? Ariel: From what we know about the Keyblade, maybe it's because our hearts are strongly connected. Tai: I've thought that, but there has to be something else. Ariel: Like what? Tai: I recently remembered an event that happened back in Kanto, and it really got me thinking. Ariel: What? Tai: When we were staying at the Pokemon Center in Viridian City, you had a dream. That led to something very important. Ariel: Dream... *thinks for a moment, then her eyes widen* I remember now! I've been chosen by the Keyblade! Tai: Yes, you have. Ariel: I think I get where you're coming from. Let me try something. *holds out her hand then suddenly Two Become One vanishes from Tai's hand and a Kingdom Key appears in her hand* Wow! Tai: So, my suspicions were correct. I've been using your Keyblade all this time. Ariel: I guess you have. But how does that explain you being able to use two Keyblades even before I was chosen? Tai: That, I have no idea. Maybe it was yours all along and the Keyblade just took its time choosing you. Ariel: *checking our her Kingdom Key* Hard to say. Let me try something else. *holds out her free hand, then Eternal Bond appears* Tai: Whoa! Ariel: *looking at both Keyblades* I guess we can borrow each other's Keyblades. Tai: Guess so. I've never heard of anything like this. *holds out his hand and reclaims Eternal Bond* Guess that settles that. *dismisses Eternal Bond* Ariel: Yeah. *dismisses Kingdom Key* What a strange weapon. Tai: No kidding. Ariel: At least we know it's strengthened by friendship. Tai: Which makes it a superweapon here. You should start using it more. Ariel: Right. *back at the unknown location* Chrysalis: *watching the display* Well, so much for the female forgetting how to use that strange weapon. Being: Very well, then. *waves staff and a familiar yet different being appears* It is time. Take the Heartless and attack the Crystal Empire. Distract the Keybearers and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. I will gather the other beings that have been lurking the realm. Familiar-ish Being: It will be done, Maleficent. Chrysalis: What about us? Maleficent: You continue to wait. The element of surprise worked well for you during the wedding, did it not? Chrysalis: Point taken. Maleficent: Wait for my word. *opens a corridor of darkness and walks through it* *back at the Crystal Empire* Tai: *walks up with Ariel to Twilight and the others* How you enjoying yourselves? Twilight: Everything's going great! Rainbow Dash: Yeah, everything's been awesome since you came back! Tai: Glad to hear. *suddenly Shadows rise up from the ground* Tai: What the hell? *summons Eternal Bond* Ariel: *summons Kingdom Key* Applejack: What the hay is that thing? Shadow: *jumps at Applejack* Tai: *one shots the Shadow while it's in midair* This isn't good... Ariel: *one shots the others* No kidding, you think our Keyblades brought them here? Tai: I don't know. I hope not... Salamandra: *runs up with Chamelia and Sailda* What the hell are Heartless doing in Equestria? Tai: I have no idea. But you three get everyone to safety! Ariel and I will deal with them! Twilight: Anything we can do? Tai: Get back to Ponyville and get the Elements of Harmony! *suddenly a ball of purple light appears and explodes, revealing the strange but familiar being from earlier* Familiar-ish Being: Surprised to see me, Reptilius? *extends wings* Tai: The hell? Two Twilights? Twilight: Nice try, Changeling! You should know I don't have wings! Alicorn Twilight: Changeling? *laughs* I'm no Changeling, I'm you from another realm! Tai: How'd you even get here? Alicorn Twilight: A powerful magic user summoned me here. You know her, name's Maleficent. Tai: Maleficent? *light flames form around him* I should have known she'd try something... Alicorn Twilight: She's been waiting a long time to strike. She's been watching all of you. Tai: She would... Alicorn Twilight: Anyway, enough talk! *fires a blast of magic* Tai: *blocks it with Eternal Bond* You'll have to do better than that, fake! *rushes toward Alicorn Twilight and strikes her with Eternal Bond, knocking her to the ground* Alicorn Twilight: UGH! *stands up* Not bad, Reptilius. But I really should get going. See you later! *vanishes in a flash of purple light* *the Heartless also vanish* Tai: *dismisses Eternal Bond* I wonder if she's what'd result if you didn't pursue your friendship studies. Twilight: I hope not. Tai: Anyway, I'm afraid the festival has to be cut short. We're on high alert. Maleficent is in the realm and she's bringing Heartless. We need to alert Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Ariel: *walks up, having dismissed Kingdom Key* Good thinking. Maybe Heartless will start showing up there. Sailda: I'll alert General Onyx about it, though I imagine Dimensional Monitoring could detect it. Tai: Probably, but let him know anyway. Sailda: Yes, King Reptilius. Tai: Alright, let's move! (Yes, this is very much an attempt to get shit in gear. Will it work? We'll just have to find out.)

Primocraetus:Damn it all, once again our world is under siege! Now by Heartless!
Dagon:What do you propose father?
Primocraetus:I'm going to make sure our kingdom stays protected. I would like you to stay on the surface and assist Reptilius as well as you can.
Dagon:If that's what you wish...
Primocraetus:*Dissolves into a black mass along with his soldiers, it fades away*
Balvorn:*Chewing on a golden-colored mushroom heartleess that failed to escape*
Shroom:*Flails around weakly*
Lucy:Put it out of it's misery already.
Balvorn:*Muffled* I don't even think these creatures have emotion! *Tightens his grip, destroying it*
Green and yellow/blue orbs fly everywhere along with a small ornate chest, they're involuntarily sucked into Barbatos.
Balvorn:What the hell was that? I suddenly feel wealthier and revitalized. And I evidently obtained a "Fenrir Keychain"?....*Yelps as a huge primitive looking keyblade forms in his jaw*....*Pulls it up, the fact he's still in his pomeranian form makes it look somewhat outrageous*....*swings the keyblade around a bit* ....Surprisingly light.
Lucy:What are you doing?
Balvorn:I don't know, I like this weapon. *Shakes it around*The handle feels good to chew on and whats neater than a savage beast wielding a huge blade in his jaws?
Lucy:It looks like a giant blunt key. How do you expect to use that like a blade?
Balvorn:*shrugs* Same way the lizard king does.
Tai:Did that mushroom just drop Fenrir?
Ariel:And it seems to have chosen Balvorn.
Balvorn:*Chewing on it* What? Something wrong with me being chosen?
Tai:No, just unexpected is all...The fact that mushroom dropped one of the most powerful keyblades in existance is also a bit shocking.
Ariel:Have you ever seen a golden one Tai?
Tai:I can't say I have.
Lucy:I have a question.
Tai:Yes?
Lucy:How do those keys make effective blade weapons? They look like they would function better as nightsticks.
Ariel:*Summons Kingdom Key*...I really don't know.
Tai:Because they're giant magic keys, A pomeranian is wielding one of the most powerful keyblades known to man. We're in a world were magic ponies talk and Precious cut gems are eaten like potato chips and can be dug up in a garden by accident. Cows can talk, are fully sentient, and still kept as farm animals. I'm an anthropormophic dragon-velociraptor hybrid that's married to a mermaid. The laws of physics and reality can kiss our asses.
Balvorn:*barks as he balances the Fenrir on his nose* Case in point!
Lucy:*sighs*

*Alumina and Kurai run up* Alumina: Even here, we cannot escape the Heartless... Kurai: Yeah, the damn things are the main reason we want to leave our realm! Tai: Understood. But we really need to get to Canterlot, and fast! *morphs into a giant dragon* Chamelia: What should we do? Tai: You three stay here and help with defense! Everyone else, hop on!*Ariel, Balvorn, Lucy, Alumina and Kurai all hop on Tai's back* Twilight: We'll follow you in Pinkie's balloon! Tai: Right! *starts flying toward Canterlot* *outside Canterlot* Tai: *seeing Heartless spawning* Damn! More of them!Ariel: *summons Kingdom Key* Balvorn: So you say this Keyblade is very effective on those things? Tai: Indeed they are.Balvorn: How much do you know about the Keyblade. Tai: Not too much. I've read of varying kinds.Ariel: Tai's is entirely new. Tai: Indeed. In fact, mine wasn't originally what it is.Ariel: Oh yeah, it changed during the Daedra incident. Tai: Right. Which is why I gave it the name it has now: Eternal Bond.Ariel: That's so sweet! Tai: I knew you'd say that. Anyway, we're about to land!*Tai lands, everyone hops off, then he revers to his human form* Balvorn: So where are we headed? Tai: Ariel and I will head to the palace. Alumina: We can help with fighting Heartless, our race has experience in that. Kurai: Yeah, we know how to deal with the bastards. Balvorn: I'll help as well, get used to my Keyblade. Lucy: Even though you can just eat the damn things. Tai: Anyway, we need to get to the palace! *in Canterlot Palace* Tai: *kicks the doors open* I sense an evil presence... this way! *a few moments later* Ariel: *reading a sign* "Game Room?" Oh right, Luna became a gamer. Tai: That means... *kicks open the door* Celestia! Luna! *Celestia and Luna are staring at a TV* Celestia: Luna, she... Luna: I played the game... It's BEN... Tai: That explains the evil presence. But, who the hell is BEN? Luna: *points at the TV* *on the TV is an image of the default Elegy of Emptiness statue* Tai: What the hell is going on? Statue: *dialog shown on the screen* This cartridge has proven to be quite a useful vessel. Tai: So you can hear us? Statue: Of course I can. Have you not read the story? Tai: Story? The hell are you talking about? Statue: The story of the haunted Majora's Mask cartridge. Tai: *wrist communicator beeps* Onyx? I'll switch to hologram mode. *does and a hologram of Onyx appears* Yes, General? Onyx: My King, this thing refers to what is called a "creepypasta." Tai: You mean those shitty horror stories on the internet? Onyx: Yes! Somehow one of those has taken form in Equestria! Tai: You gotta be kidding me... Onyx: That should cover things for now. I'll update you as needed. *ends communication* Statue: Somebody that understands. However, I am not the spirit from the story. *the statue vanishes from the screen and appears in person* Tai: What the hell!? Statue: As you saw, Luna. You were lead to believe I was called BEN. However, I am much more than a mere spirit. *suddenly morphs into Majora's Mask itself* Luna: How is this possible? I thought you were only in the game! Majora's Mask: So you thought. Tai: I thought Link destroyed you back in Termina. Majora's Mask: In one reality, perhaps. Here, I was able to take the form of something from a popular piece of creepypasta. Tai: Guess we'll just have to put you down. Majora's Mask: Then go ahead and try! *shifts into its first form* Tai: *summons Eternal Bond and fires a beam of light at Majora's Mask, sending it outside* After it! *in an unknown location, our villains are watching the fight* Chrysalis: So, this is only the first one? Maleficent: Yes, there are others that will reveal themselves in due time. Although, this one is different. This was an entity from another realm that masqueraded as something from "creepypasta," as they are called in the realm Reptilius is from. Alicorn Twilight: So how did these "creepypasta" creatures end up here? Maleficent: I am not sure, but they will prove useful. Chrysalis: As long as I get Equestria, I don't really care. Alicorn Twilight: You can have it, I have my own Equestria. So Maleficent, should I make an appearance in Canterlot and assist Majora's Mask? It would give the lizard more to deal with. Maleficent: A brilliant idea. Take a Guard Armor with you as well. Alicorn Twilight: Alright then. *back at the palace* Celestia: I hope they'll be fine. Luna: So do I, sister. But I wonder, what about the game? *turns toward the TV* Sister, look at this. Celestia: What is it? *does* I don't believe it... (EDIT: Just got an idea during a talk with Spectre on Steam.)

On a rooftop close to where my characters appeared;
Black Egret sniper: *Turns on a radio* Lady Parasoul? Come in, lady Parasoul.
Parasoul: This is Parasoul, what’s your status?
Sniper: I found Valentine. She… I don’t know, but it looked like she picked up a corpse and transferred herself into it.
Parasoul: Knowing her, it wouldn’t surprise me. Can you describe her new body?
Sniper: *Looks through the scope of his weapon* Short, a skin-tight black uniform that covers everything except her hands and head, red eyes, a ponytail of black hair and a cloth covering almost everything from the nose down.
Parasoul: Noted. Where’s she headed?
Sniper: Right for the base. And she has a humanoid bat-creature with her. Male in gender.
Parasoul: Male? Not many great male fighters around. Alright, we will remain vigilant.
Sniper: I could take out the male now if you wish.
Parasoul: No. That might redirect her. And who knows what she did to make that creature? If you execute a headshot, it might just regenerate and spit the bullet back at you. What I want you to do is keep a close eye on them. Keep me updated on where they’re headed.
Sniper: Understood. Over and out.
SS: Great. Just fukking great. I have no idea what happened, the freaking UNIVERSE was restarted, screwing everything up and now we’re on the search for a mystical heart in the shape of a skull that grants a girls wish, no matter what it is that will corrupt her into an undead, omnicidal abomination if she makes a friggin’ wish at all!
Honji: Um, Overlord? That only happens if the wish is ‘impure’.
SS: And who’s to judge what’s pure or not?! You heard that crazy cartoon cyborg, the goddesses here are fucking NUTS! Why ANYONE would worship a group who want to destroy the world is beyond me! Hell, maybe it doesn’t even have to be the WISH, just the PERSON who this… this thing judges to be impure! Is ‘pure’ selfless? Is “pure” innocent? Is “pure” for the betterment of someone? I can see how using the wish to better ones self for the sake of others would be pure, but does the heart?! Does it understand that it’s almost completely impossible for a wish to NOT be slightly related to ones self?! Wishing for someone elses happiness could be entirely selfless, but said wish would ultimately put the wisher at ease! It’s not possible to be completely pure! THIS WHOLE WORLD MAKES NO SENSE!
Honji: (Unnerved) Supreme Overlord?
SS: I wish we were back on Pandora, where mass murder was not only accepted, but an everyday way of life!
Honji: SUPREME OVERLORD!
SS: Huh?! Wha?! *Looks around*
The two are surrounded by Black Egrets, outside a certain building.
SS: Nice place ya got here. Pity if somethin’ happened.
Black Egret: Tell lady Parasoul we found the target.
Parasoul: No need sergeant, I know.
Black Egret: *Salutes* Ma’am!
Parasoul: Focus, soldier. *Looks at Honji* Now, Valentine, you are under arrest for crimes against nature, treachery and conspiring with the Skullgirl. Come quietly and we will allow you to live.
Shadow: … Who the crap is Valentine?
Parasoul: And I see your new experiment is self-aware. Your experiments are disgusting, but your knowledge is invaluable. I’m modifying the sentence to freedom if you help us take out the Skullgirl.
Honji: Wait a minute. Are you talking to me? I’m sorry, but my name is Honji Luna Tsu, not Valentine.
Parasoul: Don’t try to escape, our sniper already saw you somehow transfer yourself to another body, discard your own and leave with this creature.
Honji: I’m sorry miss, but I’m not who you’re looking for. Even if I knew what you were talking about, I couldn’t help you.
Parasoul: Valentine, I’m willing to overlook your treachery but I can’t if you refuse to co-operate.
Honji: And I can’t help you if I don’t know what you’re talking about!
The Black Egrets open fire at Honjis yelling, hitting nothing.
Shadow: *Seven feet in the air, holding the ninja* I’m guessing these dumbasses really don’t like whoever they think you are.
Honji: Um… Thank you, Supreme Overlord sirI’msorrysirI’msosorryforthis.
Shadow: Doesn’t matter. *Glares at the stunned Egrets* But it’s gonna gake a few weeks to get all the blood washed off.
Honji: Overlord, if you have to fight, please try not to kill them. That woman’s trying to do everything she can, but… well, I think this “Valentine” isn’t even close to the saint.
Shadow: … Alright, I’m not even sure how to use claws this short anyway. *Drops Honji, dives into the horde of Egrets and begins beating the everloving crap out of them*
An Egret opens fire at Honji regardless
Honji: *Dodges the bullet, unsheathes her kusari-gama and begins doing exactly the same as Shadow, only with the weight and chain*
Parasoul: Stand down! I SAID STAND DOWN! … Argh! *Into a radio* Security, we need backup! Valentine and her monster are demolishing the forces outside!
Black Egret Engineer: *Examining an inanimate, humanoid machine with a camouflage paint-job* Damn! *Grabs a gun and runs outside*
Machine: *Lights on its “helmets” visor turn on, red* ACTIVATION SEQUENCE INITIATING. MEMORY BOOT IN PROGRESS. … *Looks around* THIS IS NOT PANDORA. *Grabs a nearby gun and starts cautiously moving towards the exit* … *Looks at a poster labeled “PRISONERS”* THE NOTION OF HAVING ALL INMATES DISPLAYED IN SUCH A FASHON IS PURELY IDIOTIC. ALTHOUGH I RECOGNIZE THAT PENGUIN HEAD. … LOGICAL CONCLUSION; IT IS BETTER TO MOVE AS A GROUP THAN ALONE. I WOULD PREFER THERE BE SOMEONE TO FIX ME IF THIS PLANET HAS NO NEW-U STATIONS. *Makes his way towards the prison block*
SC4-Y34 is logical, but has little regard for life unless it serves a purpose and is willing to sacrifice others (and if the cause is great enough, himself) to achieve a goal. Right now, it’s “Get back to Pandora and find this vault”. He is of course, good at hacking and can control excess electricity within his body, useful for frying someone’s brain in close combat.

*outside the palace*
Majora's Mask: Clever, but you will not get any outside help! *suddenly pillars appear a circular pattern around part of the area then form a magical barrier both in between each pillar and above, separating Tai and Majora's Mask from the rest of the fight, as the the appropriate music starts* Kurai: *tries to break through* Damn! Sealed out! *suddenly Alicorn Twilight flies in as the Guard Armor pieces fall then form* Kurai: Great... a damn Guard Armor, and that alicorn bitch from earlier. Ariel: Guess we're dealing with them while Tai deals with Majora's Mask. Tai: *leaps up and slashes Majora's Mask... only for it to not do a thing* Damn... Guess I gotta try the back. *rolls under Majora's Mask then shoots fireball from Eternal Bond at the back, bringing it down and rendering it vulnerable* Now to finish this! *starts slashing away at Majora's Mask, until it rises up* Or not. Majora's Mask: *fires a beam at Tai* Tai: *blocks with Eternal Bond and sends the beam back at it until it's brought down again* How foolish. *runs up and slashes it until briefly catches fire, spins around then regains itself* Majora's Mask: *shifts to its Majora's Incarnation (again, with appropriate music) then starts running around the arena* Tai: Seriously? This was the evil spirit that almost dropped a moon on Termina? What a joke! Majora's Incarnation: *stops then starts throwing a barrage of balls of some kind of light at Tai* Tai: Shit! *gets knocked down* Damn! *gets up as Majora's Incarnation starts running around again* Majora's Mask: *stops running to do the can-can* Tai: *shoots another fireball, causing it to trip* How childish! *starts slashing at Majora's Incarnation until starts pulsating* The hell? Majora's Incarnation: *shifts to Majora's Wrath, also with appropriate music then whips at Tai* Tai: *dodges* Ok, I take back the "childish" remark. Guess it's time to stop holding back. *dismisses Eternal Bond, surrounds himself in fire, then summons a scythe* Majora's Wrath: *continues whipping at Tai* Tai: *is unaffected* The benefits of being able to become living fire. *rushes at Majora's Wrath and starts juggling it for a a solid 30 seconds then slams it into the ground* Now DIE! *slices Majora's Wrath in half, causing it and the pillars to crumble* Now then. *returns to normal, dismisses the scythe then summons Eternal Bond again* Let's take out that Guard Armor. Alicorn Twilight: *flies over to Tai* Impressive. I see why Maleficent wants you dead. Tai: Listen here, bitch. You may be an alternate version of Twilight Sparkle, but that does not mean I'll go easy on you! Alicorn Twilight: So you're telling me that you'd strike down your favorite pony? Tai: No, but any twisted alternate versions of her are fair game. *points Eternal Bond at her* Including you. So tell me, why the hell are you an alicorn? Alicorn Twilight: Isn't it obvious? It's because she has the potential to become one herself! Tai: I bet she'd be a better one than you could ever be. Alicorn Twilight: *obviously irritated* Hmph, I can see why Maleficent said you have a smart mouth. Tai: Better to be a smartass than a dumbass. Alicorn Twilight: You really know how to try one's patience. Tai: Only when I feel like it. Alicorn Twilight: I will enjoy destroying you later. *looks over to see Ariel, Balvorn and the others have taken down Guard Armor* Oh yeah, there's something you should know about that Guard Armor. Tai: Lemme guess, it's about to shift into Reverse Armor. Alicorn Twilight: You catch on fast. Well, I must be going. You have fun with that Reverse Armor. *vanishes in a flash of light* Tai: Bitch... Well, better help out with Reverse Armor.
*in the villain's location*
Alicorn Twilight: *appears in a flash of light* Chrysalis: How did it go? Alicorn Twilight: Could have gone better. Majora's Mask was destroyed. Chrysalis: I see. Maleficent: *appears in a corridor of darkness* Things are not going as planned. Therefore, it is time we begin our next phase. Alicorn Twilight: You don't mean... Maleficent: Yes. Prepare your armies, Chrysalis. The final battle fast approaches.

Balvorn: *runs up Reverse Armor and knocks it in the head with his Keyblade* Lucy: *Heartless are instantly falling as soon as they get near her due to her vectors* Ariel: *uses an Ice spell on Reverse Armor* I think it's almost done! Tai: *leaps up and cuts right through Reverse Armor, finishing it off* Ariel: Perfect Timing. Tai: Thanks. Now, where are Twilight and the others? *the Mane Six come in on Pinkie's balloon* Rainbow Dash: Aw, lame! We missed it! Tai: I wouldn't say that just yet, Dash. *wrist communicator beeps* See what I mean? *answers and Chamelia's hologram appears* What's going on? Chamelia: You need to get back to the Crystal Empire, my King. Quickly, if possible! Tai: We'll be right there! *ends transmission* Twilight: Pinkie's balloon is too slow to get to the Crystal Empire in time. Tai: Relax, I know just the thing. *transforms into his dragon form* Balvorn, you and Lucy stay here in case more Heartless appear.Balvorn: As you wish. Lucy: Right. Tai: Applejack, throw out a rope. I'll tow the balloon.Applejack: You got it! *throws out a rope* Ariel: *hops on Tai's back* Celestia: *walks out with Luna* Please be careful, everyone. Twilight: We will, Princess. Tai: Alright, let's go! *grabs the rope then flies toward the Crystal Empire* *in the Crystal Empire* Tai: *lands with the balloon and transforms back to his human form after Ariel hops off his back and the Mane Six jump out of the balloon then runs to Chamelia* The hell is with all these Heartless? Chamelia: Up there! *points to the Crystal Empire Palace where a being in black is seen* Tai: Maleficent... Maleficent: O Dark King of the Crystal Empire, return and unleash thy fury! *casts a spell then vanishes* *dark energy swirls around the spire and forms into a male unicorn* Unicorn: I return! Twilight: Sombra!? Sombra: *jumps down and knocks everyone down with a wave of dark energy* Twilight: *gets up and looks around, noticing the Crystal Heart is missing* What happened to the Crystal Heart? Tai: *gets up* You got me. (But I do have an idea...) Alicorn Twilight: *flies in* The Crystal Heart was gone before Maleficent came here to resurrect Sombra. Talk about convenient. Tai: Well, we still have the Elements. You know what to do, girls! Twilight: Right! Let's finish this! *the Mane Six glow as they get into formation, then the Elements shoot out the usual rainbow beam at Sombra, only for dark crystals to shoot up around him and block it, causing all of the Mane Six gasp* Tai: What the hell? Alicorn Twilight: Isn't it obvious? Only the Crystal Heart can destroy Sombra. The Elements of Harmony are useless against him! Tai: Well... fuck. Sombra: You fools cannot hope to stop me now. Twilight: I won't give up, not when I have friends worth fighting for! Alicorn Twilight: Still going on about your friends? Twilight: At least I have some! You may have abandoned your friends, but I'll never abandon mine! As long as we're together, nothing can stand in our way! My friends are my power, and I'm theirs! *the Elements of Harmony start glowing* Sombra: What?Tai: *notices Eternal Bond glowing* Huh? Ariel: *notices Kingdom Key also glowing* I think something big's about to happen! *the necklace Elements start shooting energy at Twilight, as do the two Keyblades* Sombra: What is going on? Alciorn Twilight: I don't know, Sombra. This is so familiar... *eyes widen* NO! *suddenly a bright flash of light shines from Twilight, briefly engulfing the area* Fluttershy: What happened!? *everyone notices Twilight, Tai and Ariel are gone* Applejack: They're gone! Chamelia: ...Damn. *in a strange celestial plane* Twilight: *looking around* Hello? Where are we? What is this place? Tai: No idea, Twilight. Ariel: Our guess is as good as yours. *suddenly Celestia appears* Celestia: Congrtaulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it. Twilight: Princess. *walks up to Celestia and hugs her* I don't understand. What did I do? Celestia: During your declaration to King Sombra, you have shown a full understanding of Friendship. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight. Twilight: Ready for what? Tai: Wait, if this is for Twilight, then why are we here? Ariel: And why did our Keyblades react along with the Elements? Celestia: It appears your friendship with Twilight was the final catalyst for activating the full power of her Element of Harmony and bringing her here. I don't have any understanding of the Keyblade, but I can clearly see that it reacts to friendship like the Elements of Harmony. Now, we don't have much time! Fufill your destiny, Twilight! Finish Sombra! *extends wings* Twilight: *a "blob" of magic appears from within her then starts swirling around her as shes rises into the air* Tai: *Eternal Bond self-summons and starts glowing* What... Ariel: *Kingdom Key also self-summons and starts glowing* Is happening...? *back in Equestria* Sombra: *laughs* See what your "friendship" has done for you? Alicorn Twilight: That's right, they're gone! And with our greatest obstacle of the way, this world now belongs to Maleficent! (I hope she doesn't get what I think she's about to get...) *suddenly in a bright flash of light, Twilight's cutie mark (with an extra small star for some reason) appears as this song plays* Sombra: What? Alicorn Twilight: No, this can't be happening, not at a time like this... *the "star" lands and flashes brightly, revealing Tai in his "ultimate form" seen during the Purstl War (only with added body armor), Ariel and the main Twilight who unfolds a pair of wings as the song lyrics kick in* Tai: Thought we were done, huh? *summons a brand new Keyblade, that recalls his bond with not only Ariel, but also the Mane Six* You'd be wrong.Ariel: *summons Eternal Bond, which for some reason has transferred to her* Alternate Alicorn Twilight: I was afraid of this... Sombra: Afraid of what? What did she do? Tai: I'm not exactly sure, but if I had to guess, Twilight's declaration was the final thing that was needed to unlock her full power.Sombra: You knew about this? Alternate Alicorn Twilight: I knew SHE could eventually grow wings, what I didn't know is that she would also help THOSE TWO! Tai: You mean this form? This isn't new, aside from the body armor. This Keyblade, however, is new.Ariel: Yeah Tai, how did her transformation give us new Keyblades? Tai: It's like Celestia said, our friendship with Twilight was the catalyst for her upgrade. Therefore, it was probably the catalyst for our upgrade.Ariel: Right, that makes sense. Tai: Now then, let's finish this!Alternate Alicorn Twilight: But you still don't have the Crystal Heart! Salamandra: What was that, bitch? Sombra: What? *turns to see Chamelia,Salamandra and Sailda are near the Crystal Heart, which is inches from its normal resting place* NO! Alternate Alicorn Twilight: *turns as well* You have got to be kidding me! Tai: Looks like your time is up, Sombra. Do it, Salamandra!Salamandra: *shoves the Crystal Heart to its proper place, causing it to activate* Sombra: No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *is blown into pieces, just like the episode* Salamandra: Take that, ya fuck! Alternate Alicorn Twilight: *flies over* This isn't over, you still have me to deal with! Tai: *casually fires electricity at the alternate Twilight then walks over to her as she hits the ground* Alternate Alicorn Twilight: *coughs* You... Tai: *pins the alternate Twilight to the ground with his tail* Give me one good reason why I shouldn't reduce you to a lifeless husk.Alternate Alicorn Twilight: Because, you're supposed to be the big hero who shows mercy. Tai: You see, here's the thing. I'm not a hero. I've done things most heroes don't have the guts to do. So if you think I'm just gonna let you off like that, you're wrong.Twilight: Tai, just let her go. She's not that much of a threat. She hasn't done much of anything. Tai: Very well, Twi. *releases the alternate* Now here's the part where you go back to your version of Equestria and stay there. If I see you again, I will destroy you. Understand?Alternate Alicorn Twilight: Yes, I do. *weakly flies up* Say hi to Maleficent for me. *vanishes in a flash of light as the Heartless also vanish* Tai: *transforms back to his usual form* Now then. *turns to Twilight* You're an alicorn now. Twilight: I guess I am... *checking out her new wings* Rainbow Dash: Awesome! A new flying buddy! *hugs Twilight* Fluttershy: You look just like a princess! Celestia: *flies down* That's because she is a princess. Mostly Everyone: HUH? Tai: Well, this is sudden. Salamandra: Understatement of the year. Ariel: Yeah. Celestia: I'll explain later. We have preparations to make. Twilight: Preparations for what? Celestia: Your coronation, of course. Tai: One thing, where was the Crystal Heart? Sailda: When we saw Maleficent and the Heartless appear, Cadance helped us move it away from its resting place. Salamandra: After that, we activated a cloak around it. Bitch didn't suspect a thing. Tai: I had a feeling. Twilight: Good thinking. Chamelia: Thanks. Tai: Now then, let's get going. We have a coronation to set up! (Randomly figured out how to tie everything to the part I've had ready for a while. I WAS gonna do a cliffhanger after Tai's "well fuck" remark but I decided against it. So, yeah. I have most of the coronation ready to go so if this RP doesn't get any new posts in the next few days, I'll go ahead and finish that up and post it.)

*in Canterlot Palace*
Tai: So, what happened to Balvorn and Lucy? Celestia: A strange humanoid in a black cloak appeared from a strange portal and Balvorn chased after it. Lucy followed him. Alumina: Sounds like someone from Organization XIII. Kurai: Ugh, I hate those bastards. Tai: Yeah, it does sound like someone from Organization XIII. Oh well, guess they'll have to miss the coronation. Ariel: I hope they're alright. Tai: I'm sure they'll be fine. Anyway, how are the preparations? Celestia: Preparations are almost complete. Tai: Glad to hear it. You know, I never did officially designate Twilight as Harmony Squadron's leader. Now would be the perfect time. Celestia: That sounds like a wonderful idea. Tai: Also... *summons his new Keyblade* I guess I need to give this a name, since this seems to be a completely new Keyblade. Ariel: Good thinking. So, what name are you thinking of? Tai: Considering the circumstances I obtained this new Keyblade in, there's only one fitting name I can think of: Bonds of Harmony. Ariel: Sounds great. Celestia: That's very fitting. Tai: Thanks. Anyway, time to get ready for the coronation.
*in the ceremony room, about an hour later*
Tai: *standing in front of a crowd Ariel, Chamelia, Salamandra, Sailda, Alumina, Kurai, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Spike and the rest of the Mane Six* Greetings, Ponies, Lizodians and other guests. The past few months have been very eventful for Equestria. From its admission into the Lizodian Empire to the battle against the Heartless and King Sombra, a lot has happened. But today, we are here to celebrate a very momentous occasion. Celestia: My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has done many extraordinary things since she's lived in Ponyville. She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna. But during the battle against King Sombra, Twilight Sparkle did something extraordinary. Thanks to her understanding of friendship, she was able to realize her full potential as the bearer of the Element of Magic, therefore proving without a doubt that she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess. Tai: Without further delay, we are pleased to introduce for the very first time, the Leader of Harmony Squadron, Princess Twilight Sparkle! *the doors open up and Twilight, dressed in her princess attire (minus crown), walks in with some royal guards* Twilight: *walks up and gets her crown from Spike then everyone walks outside to a balcony* Tai: Aren't you gonna say something, Princess? Twilight: Right. Sometime ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony! Unknown Yet Familiar Voice: HOLD ON! Tai: What the hell? Twilight: That sounded like, me... *suddenly someone who looks just like Twilight, right down to the outfit barges to the front of the crowd as everyone gasps* Other Twilight: I'M the real Twilight Sparkle! That one up there's an IMPOSTOR! Twilight: Wait, this seems familiar. This is just like... the wedding! Tai: Alright, everyone calm down! You, uh, other Twilight. Get up here. I know just how to settle this. Other Twilight: Alright. *flies up to the balcony* Tai: Very good. Now both of you stand next to each other. *the two Twilights do as instructed* Tai: Alright, here's how this is gonna go down. The one that gets a hundred volts to the face is the fake. Simple, right? Right. Let's get started. *electrifies his right hand* Twilight 1: *on the right* (Please, Tai. You know I'm the real one Twilight.) Twilight 2: *on the left* (Let's see how clever you really are, Lizodian King.) Tai: *closes his eyes for a moment, then shocks the Twilight on the left* Twilight 2: *screams in pain* Twilight 1: Thank you... Tai: *opens his eyes* Foolish shapeshifter, I'm psychically gifted! NOW SHOW YOURSELF! SHOW YOUR TRUE FORM! Twilight 2: *eves glow green and a pillar of green fire appears around her as she transforms into a hideous looking black alicorn with holes in her legs and horn, a green mane/tail and green insect-like wings* Twilight: Chrysalis! Rainbow Dash: Chrysalis? LEMME AT HER! *tries flying at Chrysalis only for Applejack to bite her tail* Tai: Easy there, Dash. *turns to Chrysalis* Chrysalis, huh? I see you're a changeling, I've heard about your kind existing in this realm. I assume you're their queen. Chrysalis: You're smarter than you look, Lizodian King. Applejack: Didn't ya learn from the other two times we sent y'all packin'? Rarity: Clearly not. Rainbow Dash: Yeah, remember how the Cutie Mark Crusaders completely annoyed her? Tai: That sounds hilarious! Chrysalis: Don't remind me about those three... Tai: Now, Chrysalis. I don't expect you came alone, where are the others? Chrysalis: Look around you. My subjects are arriving as we speak. In fact, some are even in the crowd. *many ponies in the crowd show themselves to be changelings as more are shown flying in* Tai: Well, this is a problem. Actually, that's a lie. We have everything covered. Chrysalis: Please, there's so much love around here! I can feel my power grow! Tai: Well I heard that very same love ended up sending your asses packing. And that was just the first time you lost. Chrysalis: That's not all I have on my side. Behold! *suddenly Heartless start spawning* Tai: *summons Bonds of Harmony* I should have known Maleficent would be helping you. Chrysalis: You would be correct! Tai: I have to say. After Sombra and that twisted version of Twilight, you seem a little... pathetic. Chrysalis: Even after all you've been through, you still have that smart mouth? Tai: Yeah, pretty much. Now then, I am through screwing around. *telekinetically lifts up Chrysalis then throws her off the balcony* Ariel, you, Chamelia, Salamandra, Sailda, Alumina and Kurai deal with the Heartless. Ariel: *summons Eternal Bond* Right! Chamelia: Yes, my King. Salamandra: We'll handle those bastards! Sailda: Got it! Alumina: Shouldn't be too much problem. Kurai: Not at all! Tai: Twilight, you and the others deal with the Changelings. Twilight: Right! Tai: I'm going after the queen. *jumps off the balcony and pins Chrysalis to the ground with his free hand* This time, you won't get away. *prepares to strike Chrysalis down with Bonds of Harmony* *suddenly an explosion is heard in the center Canterlot* Tai: Shit! *releases Chrysalis* You're lucky, Changeling. *shocks Chrysalis then runs to the see what's going on*
*in the center of Canterlot*
Tai: *runs up, seeing Maleficent* You! Maleficent: It has been a long time, Lizard. I see your accursed Keyblade has changed. Tai: Hasn't been long enough. Anyway, Let's just get this over with. Maleficent: Very well, then. It is time you faced all the powers of Hell! *transforms to her dragon form then breaths fire at Tai* Tai: *takes the full force of it* That all you got? Pathetic! *dismisses Bonds of Harmony then morphs to his "ultimate" form* Maleficent: *tries whipping Tai with her tail* Tai: *jumps on the tail, runs up to her back then stabs it with a claw* This is for bringing Heartless to Equestria! *stabs her with the other claw* This is for being a thorn in my side for so long! *stabs her with the tip of his tail* And this, is for RUINING MY VACATION! *begins draining Maleficent until she's a lifeless husk, which then crumbles under his weight, but he lands on his feet* NOW STAY DEAD! Ariel: *runs up* You alright? Tai: Just pissed off, is all. So how are things on your end? Ariel: The Changelings retreated and we took care of the Heartless. Tai: Good. *morphs back to his usual form* Guess we can call it a day. *wrist communicator* Oh, for fuck's sake! *answers and Onyx's hologram appears* What is it this time, Onyx? Onyx: Spectre, Shadow and Honji are in a bind, again. Tai: Where are they this time? Onyx: Another realm. Just get to Lizodia Island, we'll get you up to speed. Tai: Alright, we'll be right there. *ends communication* Guess we gotta go save their asses, again. Ariel: Yeah. Tai: We better update everyone first. Ariel: Right.
*Dimensional Monitoring, Lizodia Island, 30 minutes later*
Tai: *walks in with Ariel* So what's going on? Onyx: Alright... *one explanation about what's been going on in the Skullgirls universe later* Onyx: So, that about covers it. Tai: I see... Onyx: So, what's the plan? Tai: We go in for extraction. Onyx: Really? We're not gonna help destroy the Skull Heart? Tai: Fuck that shit, I just want my damn vacation. All we're gonna do is go in, find everyone, get Spectre out of that one chick's tits, then get the fuck out. After that, I don't give a shit as long as I can have some peace and quiet in Equestria. Onyx: Alright, sounds good enough to me.
(Thus begins the part where we finish shit up and move toward, something that hopefully won't come screeching to a halt.)

*outside the prison in New Meridian*
Honji: So, new plan? Shadow: Might be good. *suddenly a ship warps in and lands* Shadow: What the hell...? *the side of the ship opens up, revealing five Lizodians and Tai* Shadow: Hey mate, glad you could join us. Tai: This shouldn't take long. Lizodian: We're just here for an extraction. Shadow: Ah, right. Honji: Glad to hear it. Tai: Shadow, Honji and I will find Spectre and the girl. You all secure the Pandoran alternate of Shadow. Lizodian: Yes, sir!
*outside of Cerebella and Spectre's cell*
Guard: Hey, what the? *gets stabbed by some kind of long lance then reduced to a lifeless husk* Cerebella: Huh? Spectre: That can't be good. Tai: *walks into view with Shadow, Honji and some Lizodians* Spectre: You guys! Cerebella: You know them? Spectre: Sure do! Tai: *melts the prison bars* Come with me. Shadow: Yeah, Tai's gonna fix you two. Spectre: Really? Cerebella: That'd be nice. Tai: Like I said, follow me.
*on the Lizodian ship*
Tai: *walks in with everyone* Lizodian: Sir! Objective is secured. *motions to other four Lizodians as they drag in SC4-Y34, who has been temporarily deactivated* Tai: Good. Now, let's split these two. *after Spectre and Cerebella are put in the splitting machine on the Lizodian ship* Cerebella: FINALLY! I'm free! Spectre: Sweet relief! Cerebella:...... Spectre:.... Cerebella: Wanna ride around in my breasts for a while? Spectre: *shrugs and hops in, they start walking toward the ship's exit* Tai: ...The fuck just happened? Honji: I don't know... Shadow: *Vomiting out of sight* Spectre: *shrugs* Erotophobes! Shadow: THAT'S RICH, COMING FROM YOU! Tai: So, uh... How do you think Etna will take this? Spectre: *Stops*................ *sniffs* *Retracts into her breasts* Cerebella: Aww, you made him sad! Honji: If she isn't told it's non-sexual? *Thinks back to their first encounter* Badly. Tai: Probably. But considering this doesn't seem sexual, who knows. Honji: *quickly* IF! IF she's not told there's no romantic feelings between you two! Spectre: ...*pops back out* Maybe.... Tai: Anyway, let's just get back to Lizodia Island before more assholes show up. Shadow: Sounds great to me, mate. Cerebella: Will you all ever come back? Tai: Maybe, hard to say. But for now, this is farewell. Cerebella: Oh, alright. Maybe we'll see each other again, Spectre! Spectre: Bye! Cerebella: *walks off the ship, which then closes the door then warps out*
*Dimensional Monitoring, Lizodia Island*
Tai: *walks in with everyone* Ariel: That was quick. Tai: Like I said, all we were doing was getting Spectre, Shadow and Honji and getting out. Onyx: So, what now? Tai: Well, we have Shadow's Pandoran alternate that needs to be sent back to its universe. Onyx: We'll handle all that. Tai: Now, can I PLEASE have my vacation now? Spectre: Sure thing! Shadow: Have your vacation, mate. Hell, we could all use one after all the shit we've been through. Spectre: Yeah... Honji: No kidding. Tai: Ariel and I will be in Equestria. Don't contact us unless everything's going to Hell. Spectre: Enjoy yourselves. And say hi to Fluttershy for me. Shadow: Say hi to Dashie for me. Tai: Will do. In any case, let's get going. Portal room's this way. *starts walking toward it with everyone following*
(Short post is short. Yeah, writer's fatigue is kicking in. And if "writer's fatigue" isn't an actual thing, it is now.)

*in Canterlot, a parade is being held in both celebrate Maleficent's destruction and to serve as an extension of Twilight's coronation since it was interrupted* Tai: *on a float with Ariel, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor and the rest of Mane Six waving at the crowd* Twilight: So, what will you do after this? Tai: Finally do what I came here to do" relax. Twilight: We could all use that. But, I'm not sure what to do about this princess business. *looks at her wings* Tai: You'll get used it. Besides, Ariel and I will be here to help. As will the rest of Harmony Squadron. Twilight: Right, thank you. Tai: Anyway, I've got something special planned for tonight, something I've been wanting to do since I got back to Equestria. Twilight: What's that? Tai: Well... *later that night, on the hill seen in in the beginning of Owl's Well That Ends Well* Ariel: The view is wonderful from up here. Tai: *lounging in a chair with a drink in his hand looking at the stars* You know, I always did enjoy stargazing. Even without the aid of a telescope. *takes a sip* Rainbow Dash: What an awesome idea! Applejack: Yeah, we all needed a moment to wind down. Rarity: Oh, agreed! Especially after dealing with those ruffians that came out of nowhere. Pinkie: It's not a party, but a night picnic is good too. Fluttershy: How you girls doing? *looks over to the Cutie Mark Crusaders* Scootaloo: Awesome! Sweetie Belle: Great! Apple Bloom: Just fine! Tai: Glad to hear. Twilight: *looking through a telescope* So how long do you plan on being in Equestria? Tai: For the foreseeable future. After all I've been through, I think I deserve an extended vacation. Ariel: Agreed. Chamelia: So do we. Salamandra: I have to admit. As much as I like fighting, it is nice to take it easy for a change. Sailda: Yes, a break will be very helpful. Tai: Yeah, I'd say things are looking up. At least for now. *Planetary Monitoring, Canterlot* Lizodian: *looking at a monitor* So far, so good. *notices something weird* What the...? *gets a better look* This could be bad. Hey, Captain! Come check this out! Lizodian Captain: *does* Whatcha got? Lizodian: I found this during a scan of the planet. Seems like it could be bad. Lizodian Captain: *looking* Yeah, agreed. But the King said not to bother him unless, and I quote, "everything's going to Hell." Lizodian: Then we should let Dimensional Monitoring know. Lizodian Captain: Agreed, General Onyx will know what to do. *in an strange city that's constantly in night, Lucy and Balvorn are in front of a skyscraper* Lucy: Balvorn, where are we? Balvorn: I don't know, but I don't like it. * Neoshadows pop up of the ground* Balvorn: *summons his Keyblade* (Here's my first Slice of Life/What the Hell Ever post. With an added Sequel Hook for a plotline I kinda wanna do but I'm not too sure about yet. Plus I figured I'd explain where the hell Balvorn and Lucy ended up, which Spectre should know all too well.)

Spectre:*sigh* Well doods..I guess I really could use a vacation...No idea where though...
SS:Are ya alright?
Spectre:I still have alot on my mind dood...
??:Ah. There you are.
SS:!? YOU!?
Demonologist: Hello you two. *pulls back his hood and inhales deeply*
Spectre:What are you doing here? And out in the open?
Demonologist:Well...There's really no point in me trying to keep my activities in secret now......Its a very long story, but I've come to assist Spectre.
Spectre:?
Demonologist:You're a very...Unstable individual. I assure you that it hasn't been without reason, but now I think its time to give you some relief.
Shadow:What're ya talking about?
Demonologist: You were created for a very noble purpose Spectre, but now I...Coerced someone into taking your place so you can be free now.
Spectre:*Confused*
Demonologist:....Basically stop worrying about shit so much. *picks up a silver cross* Now hold still.
Spectre:!? *tries to waddle away*
Demonologist:*Shanks his skull with the cross*
Spectre:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Blood spurts from his head along with a black fluid*....Doood..This thing....It hurts...
Demonologist:Yeah. Whatever you do, don't remove that! This should stabalize you over time....And with that. My jobs done. I'm free....I haven't done anything for myself since time immemorial....*transforms*
The demonologist shrinks down into a rather tall, wide shouldered humanoid. Roughly 6'2 in height, his skin is rather pale, his eyes are a vivid green, with rust-colored hair, and he has rather thick, oddly appealing eyebrows. He throws off his robe, revealing that he's wearing a green suit with a blazer and white shirt.
Honji:*Eyes widen at the sight of his eyebrows*...Can I...Stroke them?
SS:HONJI!
Honji:THIS DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING! I just want to know how they feel is all!
Demonologist:Go right ahead! *bends down to Honjis height, eyebrows wiggle and make a scorpion-like hiss* They won't bite.
Honji strokes his eyebrows, she seems entranced by their texture...
SS:...Alright! Thats enough!
Eyebrows:*Growl at Shadow*
SS:......Did those things growl at me?
Demonologist:*stands up and stretches, he begins ripping the sigils and runes off of his skin, which regenerates back* Anyway, the names Koji Shuzen. Heir to the prestigious Shuzen family of vampires...Or atleast I was. I suppose that doesn't apply to this creation....*Crosses his arms, a pair of massive, rust-fur covered wings rip from his back* Its been good talking to you, if you wish to speak to me seek out the Shuzen estate in Asia. So-long!
He flaps his wings once, he takes off into the sky at blinding speed, rocketing into the clouds.
SS:..............
Spectre:*Blood still seeping from his head, he looks woozy* Uuuuh...Uhhhhgh....What just happened?
SS:No idea mate.
Spectre:I'm losing alot of blood..................*passes out*
Honji:......*pokes Spectre on the lower belly* He's alive.
SS:How can ya tell without checking his pulse?
*prinny juice fires, Honji narrowly dodges*
Honji:Because that just happened.
SS:ARGH!!!
Honji:Whats wrong?
SS:THAT !!!
Honji:So? Nothing wrong with it. Prinnies have microteats located in the pores of their nethers. When properly stimulated, whether by excessive fright, physical stimulation, or excitement, they lactate with enough force to launch millions of tiny, individual streams of nutririous, sweet-tasting sprays that together form a large blast that travels with the velocity of a bullet. This is known as prinny juice, a fluid used in many netherworld deserts, drinks, and foods. It's a staple in the diet of nearly any demon. They also use it in the place of milk substitutes often due to its cheaper cost and availiability,The average person who drinks non-dairy milk products likely consumes prinny juice 40% of the time.
SS:*begins vomiting harshly into a nearby bush*
Honji:What? Prinny biology was part of our training.
SS:*still vomiting*
Honji:Best thing for vomiting is raw prinny juice heated to a warm temperature, soothes nearly any stomach ailment. And we got a regular well right here!
SS:*Vomits again*
Honji:.............

SS: *Wipes mouth off* Urgh… Honji, pick him up.
Honji: *Does so*
SS: When he wakes up, we should probably get him a holiday. Lord knows he needs one.
Honji: What about you?
SS: Me? … I suppose I could visit the Sarg cities. Haven’t really had time with everything happening every second of the day. … Come to think of it, how long has it been since everything began?
Semi-mechanical voice: Quiiiiiite a while!
SS: *Roars at Honji* I THOUGHT YOU KILLED HER!
Honji: *Shrinks back* I thought I did, supreme overlord sir!
Peacock: *Just sort of appears* Hasn’t been much written breaks between anythin’, but this all didn’t happen in a day! Not even a few weeks if ya ignore da time skips! It’s been goin’ on for at least a year in-universe. *Dissapears*
Honji: I sincerely hope she doesn’t keep popping up.
Peacocks voice: Don’t count on it, toots!
Honji: *Glares at where she was* Annoying little… *Salutes* If you’re going to the cities, you no longer have any use for me. It has been an honour serving by your side, supreme overlord, thank you for the privelage. *Turns and begins walking*
SS: Waaaaitwaitwaitwaitwait. Exactly where do you think you’re going?
Honji: (Confused) Back to Jontenheim sir. I delivered you the message, only stayed because I thought I could be of more use at your side than dying on the way home, assisted in the alternate universe, served by your side as best as I could in the Purstl wars and came with you to the other planet on your command. Now we’re back in our universe and you just want to visit the strongholds, I don’t think you need me any more.
SS: …. Honji, I like you. I wouldn’t trust any Sarg more than you, even Orochi. As your overlord, I demand that you accompany me. … Honji?
Honji: *Swaying on the spot, the corners of her mouth visible above her mask, eyes slightly glazed over*
SS: HONJI!
Honji: *Snaps out of it* Yes, Supreme Overlord sir!
SS: Where’s the closest Sagrotan stronghold?
Honji: In the Netherworld fields, sir!
SS: Right. Then that’s where we’re going. Come on, Honji.
Honji: (He said he likes me!) *A small giggle escapes past her lips* *Immediately stands tall* >_> *Follows*
Later;
Honji: (Confused) So your first decision when you see our strongholds in peace is to check the training centers?
SS: Vimm always used to say “Vigilance is the price of liberty”. I say always have well-trained soldiers ready in case ya need to crack some skulls.
Honji: Um… that’s pretty much the same thing.
SS: Exactly. Now get Spectre to a hospital, I’ll join you as soon as I can. *Enters and strides to the reception desk*
Receptionist: … Can I help you?
SS: Get me one of the sergents, I’m curious how things work around here… and I’m not sure if Orochi’s doing that well.
Receptionist: If you disagree with Overlord Orochis methods, keep them to yourself or you will be lynched. Also, I’m denying you service for that statement so get out of here before I set the entire base on you.
SS: … Don’t you know who I am?
Receptionist: Don’t know, don’t care.
SS: My name is Shadow Scryer.
Receptionist: *Snorts* Pull the other one! Alright, I’ll get a sergeant down here to execute you personally. *Calls one* Yeah, there’s a visitor who’s questioning Overlord Orochis methods and threatening violence, please come down ASAP.
Honji: *Hand inches towards her weapon*
SS: *Puts his hand on hers* Just wait.
A set of doors open, from which a lightly armoured Sarg strides
Sargent: ! *Salutes* Supreme Overlord, sir!
Receptionist: Oh don’t tell me you’re really fooled by this idiot!
Sergeant: … *Slips on a machine across his knuckles with a chainsaw edge* *Pulls the receptionist over the desk, punches her head into a wall and saws straight through it* *Removes the weapon and salutes*
SS: At ease, trooper. I’m just here to check how things are going.
Sergeant: Right this way. *Begins walking* In honour of our Supreme Overlord, and that we really don’t want the few positive things from out time in UMBRELLA to go to waste, we’ve built up our military might as much as we can. Every Sarg attends one of three military schools after they reach physical maturity.
SS: Only a month?
Sergeant: Yes sir. The sooner they learn, the better.
The two enter a corridor with unbreakable glass on either side of them, a room visible in each
Sergeant: The schools are combat, like this one, mechanics that focuses on high-tech, how to build and to use it, and magic. Most Sargs only use it as a last resort, but practitioners are actually really good at keeping our troops alive. On the left is the firing range. Unfortunately, for all our melee proficiency, it takes ages to teach our soldiers to hit anything even with the training and weapons provided by the Lizodians. They actually pulled their trainers out and replaced them with machines controlled on their end after three critical injuries on their part in one day, so we’re lucky the mechanics can fix them as well as they can.
SS: And the right?
Sergeant: Training to move quickly while armoured.
SS: *Blinks* But they’re hardly wearing any armour…
Sergeant: If you haven’t noticed sir, we hardly wear anything in the first place. It interferes with our mobility and take away that, you make us useless as a Prinny that doesn’t explode. That said, you’ll never see anything indecent.
SS: I’d expect nothing else.
Sergeant: Heh. That said, Overlord Orochi demanded we suit up in the heaviest armour we could in the Purstl wars. Said we needed as many experienced soldiers alive and that newbies just wouldn’t cut it. Then again, he also demanded that pregnant females train just as hard as normal and-
SS: He WHAT?!
Sergeant: Not that he had time to check everything with how busy he was. Some of them decided to lay low until they’d given birth but most followed orders without question. More than a few died because of it and he had no idea why.
SS: Didn’t someone try telling him how Sarg physiology works?! Didn’t he know in the first place?!
Sergeant: *Sighs* No. No he didn’t. And what’s worse is that whenever someone came to him to educate him on it, he just said he wasn’t interested in anything that didn’t immediately concern the war.
SS: So… why didn’t anyone get hold of me? I would’ve had him change things around!
Sergeant: Do you have any idea how hard you are to get hold of? Only Orochi himself can contact you and we weren’t about to prevent you from your duties.
SS: … Excuse me for a sec. *Takes out his phone and dials a number*
Orochi: *Picks up* This is Orochi, Overlord of the Sagrotan Jontenheim base.
SS: WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING?!
Orochi: *Winces in pain* Shadow? What are you talking about?
SS: YOU HAD PREGNANT FEMALES TRAIN JUST AS HARD AS NORMAL!?
Orochi: Yes. Brilliant plan, right? Have them AND the Skriks in fighting shape when they pop out!
SS: IT’S A FUCKING RETARDED PLAN! Their bodies were already taxed with maintaining themselves AND their litters, too much exertion would weaken both them and the Skriks and put enough on them, BAM! THEY FUCKING DIE ALONG WITH THE LITTER! AND THAT’S JUST WHAT HAPPENED!
Orochi: (Stunned)
SS: (Seething) Overlord Orochi, I want you to listen EXTREEMLY CLOSELY. Whenever someone comes to you regarding any information whatsoever, you hear or read it RIGHT THEN AND THERE. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care WHAT you are, if you don’t fulfill your duties, I WILL relieve you from them and give them to someone more deserving!
Orochi: (Terrified) Yes Shadow!
SS: Until you can prove you deserve your position for more than just personal strength, you will call me ‘sir’.
Orochi: Yes sir!
SS: *Hangs up* *Shakes head* Now I know why I never come here, the authority gets to my head. Keep me here too long and I’d probably become a tyrant. Anyway, continue.
Sergeant: Of course. We have ground troops and air-based soldiers in this base. Combat engineers and combat-suit pilots are trained in the other one. However, there is a program devised to create super-soldiers, revised three times. *Enters an elevator and sets it to go down* Initially, we genetically and sometimes cybernetically modified Skriks from birth, but not all of them were stable enough and just while powerful, several were too battle-hungry to be considered safe. There are only five of these MK 1s left and we changed tactics with the MK 2’s, taking the most promising Skriks from birth and providing them with special training and discipline, but none had any idea how to function in normal society and took everything as a threat. MK 3, we waited until they’d finished a turn of training, took the ten best ones and signed them up. It… it was ugly. All but one died from-
SS: Pressure? Augmentations?
Sergeant: Gunshot wounds. They staged a rebellion and tried killing their way out. With their enhancements, they nearly succeeded so we’re lucky we had fully ready combat-suit pilots standing by. Only one was happy with his position and actually opposed it. The only reason the Jontenheim base is still standing is because he warned us. He oversees things Orochi doesn’t have enough time for… or at least he used to. He’s a wingless who prefers heavier equipment, says it’s actually really useful if you can learn how to move properly in it.
SS: I see… So what do you do for the current ones? *Checks the level* And just how far down does this damn thing go?
Sergeant: Not too much farther, but far enough that normal troops can’t see what’s happening. We take the best hundred recruits per stronghold over the past five years, put them through two months of training and select the five best in each area. They’re told they’re eligible to become these super-soldiers and can pull out if they want to, don’t want another MK III incident after all, and they’re put through special training until they’re ready for the field.
The elevator stops
SS: Do what are these super-soldiers called? You never told me.
The doors open to a wide metal corridor with statues of heavily armoured Sargs on either side
Sergeant: Gargoyles! This is the where we keep statues of the most notable ones, ranging back to the very first one! *Gestures to a statue in armour completely obscuring its ‘skin’ save one mechanical arm holding what looks like a chainsaw mace* S’lar, one of the final MK Is! held this stronghold by himself against an army of demons until reinforcements arrived a day later. Succumbed to his wounds an hour after the battle and died standing up.
They pass a second statue of a heavily clad but still obviously female Sarg with a bladed pistol shaped like a boomerang
Sergeant: Illi, first of the MK IVs! Personally led a covert operation against a demon city and successfully took it with minimal casualties!
SS: Wait a sec, the demons HELPED us in the Purstl wars. Why are we fighting them?
Sergeant: Quite a few of them think that with how quickly we’ve been expanding, we’ll conquer the Netherworld. And the insurgents who think we should do exactly that aren’t helping our case. Ah, now HERE’S a Gargoyle worth mentioning! *Stares at a statue of a wingless soldier with a helmet consisting mostly of one-sided glass with a skull painted on it holding a polearm ending in a chainsaw blade* Krakay, the only MK III left. He’s powerful and loyal, doesn’t take crap from anyone, the grim reaper has a better sense of humour and if it’ll be beneficial for our species, he doesn’t care what needs to be done. And here’s the room where we can see what our Gargoyle recruits are doing if they’re on a mission, which I believe they should be starting now. *Sighs* I hope they go better this time…
SS: What do you mean?
Sergeant: Well… first of all, we don’t call them by their names until they’re full-fledges Gargoyles. Recruits Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, Theta and Sigma were the best recruits we’ve had in ages, but…. Well, just watch.
In a ruined city;
A squad of five lightly-armoured Sargs armed with assault rifles cautiously moves through the streets
Recruit Epsilon: This is wrong. We should be moving in cover, give the insurrectionists less of a free shot.
Gamma: Yeah, well if we stay out here, they’ll likely miss and we’ll be able to tell where the shot came from.
Theta: Yeah, I’m with Epsilon on this one. If we were in cover, we’d have about the same idea and wouldn’t have such a good chance of dying.
Sigma: (Deep, growling voice) *He is a head taller than the other recruits and heavily muscled, with spikes naturally growing from his knuckles* I just don’t like that you made us bring these little toys.
Beta: (The only female of the group) You three shut up and follow orders! The closer we follow them, the more likely we are to-
There is a loud gunshot and a hole appears through Sigmas chest
Sigma: *Grunts and is forced back a step before standing up and roaring at the sniper*
Gamma: TAKE COVER! EVERYONE FOLLOW ME! *Takes off, flying through the open window into the fourth floor of a building*
The five take cover between them and the sniper
Sigma: *Growls as he begins to slowly regenerate* I say we fight back!
Gamma: Well I say we wait here!
Epsilon: That is the DUMBEST idea you’ve ever had in your long history of dumb ideas! If we stay here, that sniper’ll just pick us off one by one of they’ll flush us out with grenades!
Theta: I have to admit, I agree with him. We need to relocate to a different floor, there’s probably going to be another sniper in this building so even though you refused to let us take anything other than these, we should still be able to kill the sniper if he doesn’t know where we are.
Gamma: Sigma, are there any insurgents coming?
Sigma: *Risks a glance to the streets*
A hole appears in his head
Sigma: *Grunts* No… *Collapses*
Gamma: *Hisses* Damn it!
Epsilon: You fucking IDIOT!
Beta: He had his orders and he fulfilled them! You would do well to do the same!
Epsilon: … Fuck you, Gamma. I’m doing what you don’t have the balls to do! *Carefully makes his way out of sight and makes his way upstairs*
There is silence, then gunfire on the level above them, followed by the ‘thud’ of a body hitting the floor
Theta: Fuck, I should have gone with him!
Gamma: No, you shouldn’t have. He made his decision and you made yours! Now hold this point!
A grenade flies in the window, landing near the three
Gamma: GRENADE! GET AWAY FROM IT!
Theta: Wait, no! That’s a- *Realizes he’s wasting time, turns away, closes his eyes and covers his ears*
The flashbang explodes, blinding and dazing the other two, who are swiftly shot by the sniper
Theta: *Grits his teeth and waits for his disorientation to pass*
Epsilon appears from the stairwell and dives for cover, avoiding the sniper
Epsilon: Beta, I got you a sniper ri- *Notices the corpses* DAMN IT ALL! … Urgh, Theta? Are you any good with these things?
Theta: I’m good enough, but not from this angle. We need to get to higher ground.
The two get to the stairs and ascend two levels
Theta: *Moves to the window* Cover me. *Takes aim and fires, hitting the insurgent in the head* Scratch that one!
Epsilon: *Ears prick up* Uh, Theta? We’re going to have company soon and it doesn’t sound like we can avoid this.
Theta: *Looks out the window and ducks back in to avoid machine gun fire* Doesn’t look like it either.
Epsilon: Well damn it. Gamma’s screwing things up and he’s not even here. *Reloads and flexes his claws* Alright then, let’s do what we can.
The two aim at the staircase and fire as soon as their enemies appear. They manage to take down quite a few before running out of ammo and having to resort to using their claws. Even then, the application of their training helps them to kill half a dozen each before they’re overpowered and eliminated.
…
The destroyed city slowly disintegrates into fragments of data, as does the skin of the insurgents, revealing them to be humanoid mechanical drones. The five pick themselves up off the floor, revealing they’re in a VERY large room wearing suits that lock up if dealt a certain amount of damage that if it were real-life, be lethal.
Sergeant: *Enters the room* That’s all, squad. Pack it up and head back to your lockers.
The recruits trudge back to their assigned equipment room.
SS: That was… disappointing.
Commander: Sir. This is the third time they’ve failed this week alone.
SS: And they’ve been in the same scenario each time?
Commander: Same setting, yes. They try something different each time, their designated leader comes up with a plan and cadet Epsilon tries something different each time, saying the plan’s only going to get everyone killed.
SS: Well if they were anything like todays, they would have. Has cadet Gamma been in charge for every simulation this week?
Commander: Yes sir. He always insists he’s the best leader and no-one else minds who leads.
SS: Hmm… I’m going to talk with them
Epsilon: His order made no sense. Without a tactical plan, we would have all gotten mown down before you could say "oops".
Beta: We were given an order. You should have followed it.
SS: (Has overheard the conversation) *Enters the locker room*
Sagrotan base guard: Atten-SHUN! Supreme Overlord on site!
All stand with feet half shoulder-width apart, backs straight, heads up, wings folded and hand clasped behind their backs
SS: *For once doesn't say "at ease"* Recruits. I saw your performance today and I have this to say...
Recruits: *Look eager*
SS: After that display, I am DISGUSTED to be the same species as you sorry excuses! I've seen Sagrotan Skrik litters more organized! *Comes to a halt in front of the second recruit* You. What would you do in a real situation?
Beta: Follow orders without question, sir!
SS: Really? Explain.
Recruit 2: Orders are absolute, sir! To disrespect a direct order is an act of insubordination, a sign of an incompetent soldier and an insult to the Sarg species as a whole, sir!
SS: I see... *Raises a hand and without warning, backhands her across the face* Stand down, recruit.
Beta: *Shocked, but does what he orders*
SS: ... *Raises his claw and backhands her again, more forcefully this time* Stand down recruit.
Beta: (Managing to maintain anger)
SS: *Performs the strike a third time* Stand down, recruit.
Beta: *Lunges at him as her Sagrotan rage surfaces*
SS: I said STAND DOWN, recruit. *Ducks under her claws* THERE we go! *Manipulates his shadow which rises, tackles and pins her to the floor* Did that order make sense to you?
Beta: No, sir.
SS: And if orders are directly endangering the squad or an individual for no reason, a soldier is permitted to break rank and try something else. The chain of command is more of a guideline in our army. Your superiours are exactly that, but their word is not law. Those drones had the 'itchy trigger finger' setting and would have opened fire the millisecond you took a glimpse on top of the ‘tactical’ setting which would’ve had them use grenades if you stayed too long in the same place so if the rest of you had a single brain cell to share, you would have taken the opening Cadet Epsilon sacrifice made. Epsilon, take the rest of the day off. The rest of you are dishonourably dismissed, I expect to see you in the simulation room in an hour for another run. And Gamma?
Gamma: Sir!
SS: You are hereby forbidden from taking command during simulations.
Gamma: (Stunned) But… But I’m the only one willing to lead them!
SS: You’re the only one who CARES if you lead them. If your performance today was any indication, you do not belong in a role of authority so I hereby order you to try something else.
Gamma: … *Growls* Yes sir.
SS: Very good. Do any of you care if you lead or not next time? …. No? Then it’ll be… *Scans the room* Recruit Theta, you give it a go.
Theta: *Salutes*
SS: I’ll be back to see how your next attempt goes, but for now I need to check on an old friend. *Makes his way to the hospital, getting lost on his way and having to ask for directions several times*

Spectre:*Drooling in bed, he's blinking his eyes in an eerie, dead fashion. They're opening and closing one at a time*...........
Doctor:....I have no idea what to do with him. Honji said not to take the crucifux out of his skull, but it seems to be the problem...It doesn't appear to be doing anything in particular besides perforating his brain. *pokes it*
Spectre:*screams in agony with a feral warped tone*
Doctor:*Has been startled to the point of latching onto the ceiling*.....Eeep....Alright then..*gets back down*....I guess all we can do is keeping giving him vitals and painkillers.
Spectre:...*closes eyes*
In Spectre's unconcious dream....
Spectre:*is in a dark, miasmic area, strange figures are creeping all around him, holding their heads and falling on their knees while roaring in agony*....
RUN:.....*stomps over, his chains rustling*......*sits down and stares at Spectre through his bag-like mask*
Spectre:..its you again.
RUN:*growls*
Spectre:Who....Are you?
RUN:Yooooouuuu.....
Spectre:...Hmmm..Maybe...Why are you chasing me?
RUN:TO GET OUTSIDE.
Spectre:Why? Why can't you just go away. If you're me, then you're a part of me I don't want anything to do with.
RUN:Hahahah....Hhahahahahahaahahhaah....
Spectre:......
RUN:PART? I AM YOU. I'M THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF YOUR SOUL. I AM YOUR INSTINCT. I AM YOUR EMOTION. I AM YOUR MIND.
Spectre:Then why are we conversing like this?
RUN: So....Blind...You try to cling to dead hope...You let your petty bond with that demoness weaken your heart and suppress who you are.....Don't you sense it? The heartbeats of every man, woman and child in your location....They sing their obnoxius earworming song of life..The same note over...And over..And OVER!!! You want to crush them! Squeeze them into pulp! Don't try to fight it!!!!
Spectre:...usually whenever i would see you, you would chase me and attempt to murder me. Why are you being so talkative now?
RUN:BECAUSE I HAVE NO CHOICE!!! the trinket in your head keeps me from forcing your pitiful mind from awakening! You're a mad, tranquilized dog!!
Spectre:I see....
RUN:*hisses as two beams of light shine down from above* Damn it...Out of time..No matter...Soon, you worm. Soon.
Spectre:*eyes are opening*....
SS:Are ya alright mate?
Spectre:.....Ugh....I've...Had better days. *sighs* *tries to get up, but falls back down*....This thing hurts....But its the only thing...Keeping those monsters inside me.
SS:Monsters?
Spectre:The ones we encountered back in equestria...The ones from the fog. I talked to one. Whatever this thing in my heads doing, its keeping them from getting back out.
