Complacency
RE-WRITE:
what has become of a mankind
simple animals with desire
unaware of their unsatiable character
with uncontrollable needs
The queues for comfort
are leading us towards death
making us leave no mark
and be selfish instead
what has been left of a man
only a fraction of himself
the unnatural species
already lost in the whirl of technology
we are asking for what we dont deserve
and what we never achieve
once we had comfort
but we wasted our families
what has become celebrated
substituted love
and smashed what held us together
throughout the dark ages
what has become cherished
is only abandoned compassion            
fondness for unimportant necessities      
and complacency that restrains
seeing the important
seeing what should be real

Starting Over Chapter 12
"Hey Lexi." Nai says as she sits down next to me and Liza. "Hey Liza."
"Hey." I say back.
"Hi Nai. I'm gonna go get lunch." Liza says. "Be right back."
Before Liza can get up, Nai's phone buzzes. "Oh, I'm gonna go sit with my boyfriend today. See ya guys later."
I grab her arm before she can leave. "Wait, what? You have a new boyfriend? Who?"
Liza looks at Nai weirdly. "Yeah, who?"
"Um, Johnny."
Liza scrunches her nose. "Him? He's in my history class."
Just then, a short—same hight, maybe a bit taller than Nai— tan, cute (but kind of looks like a mouse), guy puts his arm around Nai and kisses her on the cheek. "Hey Babe."
I stare at Johnny in shock. It's only been a couple months into the school year and Nallely is on her third boyfriend.
Nai waves bye to us. "See you later."
I watch her and Johnny walk down the stairs and across the Quad to the football field.
"Ookay..? You want to get lunch with me?" Liza asks.
"Yeah. Sure." I answer and get up.
We walk down the Quad and

The Vows
We stood at the altar
In the fresh aesthetics of spring
You took my hand in yours
And slid on that fateful ring
I wore a fair dress
Clothed in a flurry of white
The poison smile
On my wedding, the only blight
So beautiful it was
My dress stained red
Our passion unbidden
I took off your head
We promised love
Till death do us part
And it shall
For your head, take my heart
My dear, my darling
Forget me not
Honor our righteous vows
And love me till I rot
Blissfully content
We vowed forever
Let my love
Bury us together

Therapy
When I see ghosts they look perfectly real and solid -- like a living human being. They are not misty; I can't see through them; they don't wear sheets or bloody mummy bandages. They don't have their heads tucked under their arms. They just look like ordinary people, in living color, and sometimes it is hard to tell who is a ghost.
CHRIS WOODYARD, Invisible Ink interv
"Anne, do you feel safe here?" the therapist asks. "Come on, talk to me."
I don't like him. He's white as a sheet with splotchy skin and dark rings under his eyes. He looks like the ghost of a scarecrow wearing a suit with that long body of his. Like someone took him and stretched him out like play-dough.
"Anne, is there anything wrong?"
Yeah, you.
I hug Sharebear close and bury my face into his soft fur.
Dr. Scarecrow taps his yellow nails repeatedly on the arm of his chair.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
"Come on, Anne." Daddy rubs the small of my back. "Tell Dr. Cole about the things you see."
Daddy's looking at m

Life's Wing Chapters 1-2
First Draft
The sound of glass splintering against the pale wall, narrowly missing my head, resounded
through the small house. A short, stocky man lumbered down the hallway, swaying back and
forth and bumping into the walls. 'Uncle is in one of his drunken moods again.' I
thought to myself in disgust. I stood in preparation. I had been expecting this to
happen sometime soon. I dodged yet another one of his crudely thrown beer bottles just as
it hit the table lamp, making it crash onto the hard tiled floor.
"Your blasted parents!" He screamed while raising his arm to throw another empty
bottle.
" Dumping their bloody child on me! Leaving nothing but this rundown hovel of a
house! Leaving me!" He continued to shout.
He then chucked the bottle, which surprisingly landed on the couch I had been
sitting on moments before. Glancing at the couch, I had time to briefly wonder if he had
any more on him when, sure enough, a final bottle flew through the air and hit me
squarely in the back

Chapter Stories
Zootopia Files: The Zootopia Horror.Horatio Withers arrived at Cliffside Asylum. The horse scholar was laden with dozens of suitcases. The disgruntled professor entered the abandoned asylum. "Um... hello? Is anyone in here?""Follow..." Said the voice of Dawn Bellwether. Horatio followed the voice, through the ruined corridors of the abandoned asylum. It took roughly an hour of walking, he found the passageway to the temple. He was terrified of the darkness down below, but he forged ahead until he caught up with the source of the voice. "Professor Withers." Dawn greeted. "Welcome to Zootopia... and the temple of Cthulu-" Dawn was interrupted as Horatio reacted to this site like an over-excited school girl.Several minutes passed as Horatio looked over the cyclopean architecture. "SWEAT AZATHOTH! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!""He certainly doesn't lack enthusiasm," Cthulu said within his totem.Horatio screamed with delight. "This is better than I could've dreamed! Cthulu himself!"Dawn grabbed Horatio by the neck with her tentacles. "Okay. Here's what's happening." She said sternly to the over-excited equine. "You're going to help me access my ancestor's grimoire, so we can free Cthulu. Do you understand?""Y-Yes I can help," Horatio said. "I'm an expert at the languages of the Old Ones.""Good. Now take a look through my great-great-great grandfather's grimoire." She then placed Horatio in front of the grimoire. "Find anything that can lead us to free Cthulu. The sooner he's free, the sooner I can get my revenge on Zootopia, and everyone else who has stood in my way."Horatio looked at Dawn. "I see... we seem to have more in common than I assumed. I was bullied my whole life... I sought the Old Ones for revenge. To take back what I lost.""Preds?" Dawn asked."Oh yes, one in particular," Horatio said. "In High School, a fox conned me... every. Single. Day. If it wasn't for my lunch money, it was for hard labor, some other scam, or to do something dangerous to impress his girlfriend- the point is. He was a jerk!"Dawn pondered the meaning of this. "This fox... do you remember his name?"XXXXNick and Judy were on a double date with Ester Foxgerald. "I can't believe my Glamor failed..." Ester lamented as a rabbit buck ran out of the Robins Roost."I am so, so sorry," Judy said empathetically."And while kissing him... that had to sting," Nick said to his ex-girlfriend.Ester still bore the burns scars she suffered from Idunn's curse. While Loki gave the vixen district attorney magic to conceal the worst of it. It wasn't flawless, but for her social life, it was literally a godsend. "Three months... I really hope that Josh doesn't throw away three months of dating. Because I look like a burnt corpse... what does Radost have that I don't?""Tact, for one thing," Judy said sardonically. "But the point is, I'm sure Josh'll understand. You both do work together in the Justice Department. I'm honestly surprised that he didn't know about you're... condition.""And if it's not meant to be, we'll there's plenty of fish in the sea," Nick said."I only ever really loved one man." Ester glared at Nick. "And he's married to quite possibly the best, and craziest cop this city has ever seen."Judy clung to Nick. "Can I please have a proper say in this... pretty please?"XXXXHoratio was looking over the grimoire. "Well... the good news is, I've found something that can free lord Cthulu. But there's a catch.""Of course, there is," Dawn grumbled. "What, do we need?""Some components. Rare materials that mortal Mammals can't make. I'll write you a list." Horatio said as he looked over the grimoire, and wrote down what was needed.Dawn took the list. "Anything look familiar?"Cthulu looked over the list from within his totem. "Yes... yes, these are rare. Fortunately, there all within Zootopia itself.""There within Blackpaw Manor, aren't they?" Dawn asked. "In the same sub-basement where I got the dagger that allowed me to open the grimoire in the first place?""I'm afraid so, among other locations... and after your last break-in. Blackpaw has like doubled, even tripled security. It will take time. But that nut will crack." Cthulu said."In the meantime, I'll look through the grimoire for anything we can use," Horatio said as he looked through the ancient spell book.XXXXOver the next month, Zootopia was rocked to its core by a cult. The Scions of R'lyeh. Worshipers of Cthulu, their purpose was to gather the materials needed to free Cthulu from his prison.Ester Foxgerald was fuming, as in addition to Joshua the rabbit going out of his way to avoid her. She had this rampant crime wave to keep her so busy she could barely get a moment to herself. "I. Owe. Myself. A. Vacation. After. This." She seethed as she looked over the paperwork of the fifth case of Scions of R'lyeh causing havoc in the city, on that Monday morning alone. Ester downed her tenth cup of coffee as her secretary was taking another call from the mayor's office."Please take me with you." Ester's secretary whispered.Ester then noticed that one of her calls was from Nick, she wasted no time in answering. "Nick. I'm glad to hear from you... but I'm swamped, and I'm sure that you're in even worse shape. So please, keep it short.""We have a lead on the Scions of R'lyeh," Nick said. "Near as we've been able to figure, there at the Cliffside Asylum.""I'll get an arrest warrant to you within the week. Get everyone, every officer, every superhero in the ZVRP, everyone who can fight in there. Bring whoever's leading this cult to justice, and end this crime wave. Afterward... I'm going on the longest vacation I can manage.""Might I recommend a little place in Forrestvale? It's not much, but it's relaxing enough... assuming Loki doesn't cause any of his trademark mayhem." Nick said."Just arrest the Scions first, then we'll talk vacations. Crimson out." Ester hung up the phone.XXXX"Yes... yes! We almost have everything we need to free Cthulu." Dawn said as she looked over the supplies her Scions had stolen."Correction Ms. Bellweather," Horatio said as he looked over the latest stolen item. "We have everything! Summon the Adepts! We begin the ritual now!"Dawn rolled her eyes. "Can't even spare decent manners." She muttered to herself. "Adepts! We're ready to start the ritual! Get into position, and put the items in the center with the Cthulu totem!"The adepts assembled, gathering together around Cthulu's totem. "Yes... I have waited over two hundred years for this! CALL UPON YOG-SAGOTH! RIP OPEN THE VEIL!"XXXXThe ZPD arrived at Cliffside Asylum en mass. Nick and Judy were the first ones inside, along with officers Carrotson, Otocyon, Usagi, and Isle. "Someone explain why the rookies are here? Harry said."With something like this, we need every officer. As for why Usagi and Isle are coming in with us... Robert, why are you and Pinku here?" Nick said."I volunteered," Pinku said."And I'm tagging along so she doesn't die," Robert said. "Now I've got a question... why do Harry and Sawa smell like formaldehyde? It's been bugging us for months."Harry and Sawa didn't want to tell them they were Vampires. That the smell was a result of their sunscreen that prevented them from turning into burned corpses in broad daylight. "All you need to know is that we have special needs. And a consequence of that is that we reek of embalming fluids." Sawa said."I'm just embarrassed that we didn't think to look here sooner," Judy said. "I mean we found Bellweather here in the first place. Why didn't anyone think to double-check this place after that?"Robert smelled something foul. "The heck- that ain't old hospital stink!" He said with disgust."Yeah... I smell it too." Nick said. "Is... is that rotting fish?""Yes, and all kinds of other seafood," Sawa said. "Follow my lead, I've got a better scent than you do."The officers slowly made their way through the asylum, until they found the concealed entrance to the Temple of Cthulu. Inside the Temple itself, Horatio seethed as he looked over the security cameras that showed the officers. "Dawn... your plan better work. If they somehow disrupt the ceremony... no blessing of the Great Old Ones will stop me.""Hopps to Bogo. I think we've found the passage to the main cult complex." Judy said over her radio. "We've encountered no resistance from the Scions. I recommend sending in TUSK first, followed by regular officers.""Understood. Wait for reinforcements before going in. There's telling what might be down there." Bogo answered."Just a little longer... and you'll get everything you deserve for treating me so poorly, Nicholas Piberius Wilde.XXXXEventually, ZPD officers spread across the asylum. Allowing Judy, Nick, Sawa, Harry, Pinku, and Robert to enter the temple itself. They could clearly hear the eldritch chanting from deep within. "Dios mio... how long do you think this was here?" Robot asked."Not as old as it looks," Harry said. "Sawa and I... did a little research. Apparently, the guy who built this place. Jebediah Bellweather I. Was into some very messed up stuff, occult road apples and such." He explained, omitting where he and Sawa did their research."It still blows my mind how so much has happened in this country," Pinku said in awe."You should've seen the last Hopps family reunion," Nick said. "...actually, now that I think about it. Be glad that you didn't. It was really awkward."Eventually, the six of them found the central chamber of the temple. "Bogo... are you seeing this?" Judy asked."Yes... I almost wish you didn't have your equipment this time." Bogo said over the com channel."Yeah, we almost never use this stuff... not in our regular work at least. Anyway, any ideas on how to proceed?" Nick asked over the com channel."That totem in the middle of the chamber... it might be too late to stop the ritual altogether. But if you remove that, Cthulu won't be able to fully enter our reality." Bogo said."Then what are we waiting for?" Robert said as he took out his gun, and charged at the cultists. This display of bravado was short-lived, as a tentacle grabbed him.Something in Pinku snapped, and she opened fire. Howling and screaming in Japanese as more tentacles took hold of the team."Now... I think I know Bogo well enough to know, that this isn't what he had in mind." Nick said sardonically."Honestly, that's about what we did in the first place," Bogo replied. "Tentacles are new though."Dawn couldn't keep herself from laughing. "Oh... how long has it been Jude the Dude?" The mutated sheep gloated."Not long enough Bellweather!" Judy said."Oh stop it... you're making me blush." Dawn said mockingly. "Though I'm disappointed that you didn't think to look-""-Here first," Nick said. "Yeah, we were talking about that earlier. Now, how'd you even find this place?!"Dawn just shrugged. "Well... after the Battle of Zootopia I didn't really have anywhere to go. My family disowned me... probably to avoid public embarrassment more than because they disagreed with my methods. I was pretty much living in the gutter with not even a dollar to my name... taking whatever work I had to. Just to have the privilege live in a cardboard box in Happy Town." She seethed angrily. "Then... right as I was considering taking the other way out. Cthulu showed me the truth.""What truth?!" Judy demanded."I'd tell you in full... but that could drive you insane. The short version. My great-great-grandfather, Jebediah Bellweather, was a disciple of his. Built this entire temple, and the asylum that covers it. Apparently trying to take over this city and make it into a Prey utopia is a family trait... who'd a thought?""I'm not even surprised at this point," Nick admitted. "That might actually be responsible for some of the weird stuff that goes on around town.""A valid hypothesis... but no Wilde, it's just Zootopia being Zootopia. It's got nothing to do with this temple." Dawn said. "So after I found this place, Cthulu gave me his blessing. Hence the tentacles." She rubbed her tentacles on Pinku's face. The Japanese rabbit screamed in terror. "I think I'm touching a nerve here... anyway, after that whole thing with the Scapesons, or whatever they're called, I moved on to trying to access my grandfather's grimoire. After that, I contacted Horatio to help translate the Old One's script. After that, it was a hop, a skip, and a jump. To creating the Scions of R'yleh.""But he'll kill us all!" Judy shouted.Dawn chuckled. "Only those who try to rebel against the madness... those who answered the call of Cthulu of their own volition will be sparred. And through me... Cthulu will rule over all. The Great Old Ones will return to our universe. And at long last... I'll have my revenge, on a world that's only ever abused me.Before anyone could say anything else. Thor Ulricson barged into the chamber. "CTHULU! YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!" He roared."Ulricson... of course, you'd interfere," Cthulu said as a rip in the fabric of reality appeared. "Yes... just a little more, and the barrier will break!""We'll see." Thor zapped the tentacles that were restraining the rabbit and fox police officers. "Arise! And strike down this evil!"Nick, Judy, Harry, Sawa, Robert, and Pinku ducked into cover as Thor knocked out cultists with his lightning. "We have to displace that totem!" Judy shouted over the chaos."There's too many of them!" Nick shouted. "I can't get a clear shot! At the totem."Pinku took several deep breaths as the tear in the fabric of reality, grew bigger. "Pinky! Whatever you're going to do Chika! Do it now!" Robert shouted.Pinku steeled herself, jumped out of cover and jumped on the heads of the taller cultists. Making her way toward Horatio. Dodging tentacles and spells from the cultists, the young cop eventually kicked Horatio off of his perch. Disrupting the ritual. "Thus falls the mad horse. I stand up, against my old woes. The stupid squid has lost.""This is not defeat... only delay. Be it tomorrow, or ten thousand years, I will break free!" Cthulu bellowed defiantly."You're ambitions die here archfiend!" Thor bellowed as he knocked out the cultists with his thunderbolts."No... a storm is coming. You can't seal me away... only one other had the guts to offer his life to keep me at bay. A willing sacrifice is the only way to seal me back up." Cthulu said."You're highness," Mimir whispered from Thor's belt. "We may have need of him.""What?!" Thor said in disbelief. "Mimir, what could justify not sealing him up again!?"Mimir cleared his throat. "The Emiurgeday... remember?"While this conversation was going on, the rabbit and fox cops were looking over the carnage. "Well... this has been an eventful evening," Nick said sardonically."How... Usagi, whatever you did was amazing!" Judy said earnestly."Well, when one grows up in Tokyo, you learn skills that make you're life easier. Or you end up in the gutter." Pinku said grimly. "Well... who wants to do what?"XXXXThe following day, Nick, Judy, Sawa, Harry, Robert, and Pinku arrived in Forestvale. "Ah... some R&R at long last," Harry said contentedly."Ruined only by the smell of formaldehyde," Robert commented."No, it was ruined when you kept complaining about the odd smell," Pinku said. "Now direct me to a large soft bed... and I'm going to rest there until it's time to eat."XXXXDuring the chaos of the battle. Nobody noticed that where once there was only one Dawn Bellwether, there were two. "Well... this is a stroke of fortune," Cthulu noted as both Dawns came to. One Dawn looked identical to how the ewe looked before she entered Cthulu's service. The other was covered in chthonic corruption, tentacles, and eyes covering most of her body."Wha-What happened?!" The uncorrupted Dawn said in shock."The powers... the disrupted ritual... logic is irrelevant." The chthonic Bellwether said, her voice distorted by her mutations."Well, this is simple enough to understand. You are Bellwethers conscious, her mammality restored. And you... are Bellwethers cruelty, her malice, and her will to dominate brought to form." Cthulu said, gesturing to the respective Dawns."I... what happens now?!" The uncorrupted Dawn said as she looked guilt-ridden."We begin again... as we always have." The corrupted Dawn said. "What would you have us do?""Hmm... I must have time to think. Get some rest, you two deserve that more than most." Cthulu said.
Void Conflicts: Restoration of Honor: Part 1Void ConflictsEpisode VI: Restoration of Honor.It has been one year since the assassination of Dominar Riese von Blut. BAAL'RIIG V'CUL, his former enforcer killed him in a violent and bloody coup, blaming the Phoenix Coalition for the deed. Since she took the throne, she had turned the Hegemony into a state of TOTAL WAR!The PHOENIX COALITION is being overrun, as resistance is slaughtered without mercy. Not just by vengeful Hegemony soldiers, unaware of the truth of Riese's death. To technological terrors, that had once been told simply as children's stories at night. Robot assassins that can perfectly mimic organic life, biological weapons that can melt organic beings only to reform into abominations, legions of cloned soldiers, and other terrors to enforce the wrath of the Mad Dominar. Even with the aid of the defecting BLACK FLEET, their experience has only given the Coalition a reprieve to lick their wounds.As this was going on, Dawn Windchaser was disgusted by the spite displayed by Lumi Lawgiver. She left with the INFINITY EAGLE to save its captain, Jon Lone, from the clutches of the villainous crime lord, TYLMAFFA THE TOAD. As this was going on, Baal'riig V'cul was visiting the great shipyard, Vulcans Anvil...Part 1: Return to Conoveen.The shuttle docked in one of the many, many hangers of Vulcans Anvil. An ancient relic from when the Orn'acalians dominated the Kab-Pat'ien galaxy. A great shipyard that required no organic personnel to man and maintain. Once there were dozens of these shipyards spread across the galaxy. But during the War of Broken Chains fifteen-thousand years ago, and in the numerous wars since, their numbers had dwindled. While there were rumors of other Orn'acalian shipyards in hidden corners of the galaxy. The Anvil of Vulcan was one of the most famous.Dominar Baal'riig V'cul's shuttle landed in one of the many hanger bays and disembarked with at least eight of her Dragoon bodyguards. "Supervisor Uur'suul. What is the status on the Dominos?" She said to the Homo Kracken in an officer's uniform."It should be done within the next month," Uur'suul said. "I... must admit. The slaves you sent did work to speed up the Juggernaut's construction. We're ahead of schedule.""Excellent. I shall remain on the Anvil until it's done... then, I will crush the Phoenix Coalition, the Orn'acalians, anyone stupid to stand in my way of domination!"Uur'suul rolled her eyes. "I suspect that also means you'll be moving your court to the Anvil for the time being?" She said sarcastically."Of course, I will! This is a momentous occasion! And every soul loyal to my rule deserves to see it in person!" Baal'riig V'cul boated."This feels like a bad idea," Uur'suul said in disbelief.Baal'riig V'cul laughed. "For a lesser Human, certainly... but I am not lesser. Now come! I wish to examine Dominus's schematics personally."As this was going on. On the jungle planet of Conoveen, three robed figures were approaching a stone palace deep within the jungle. They approached the giant door that led inside. "Halt!" Said one of the guards. "State you're business or be turned away!"At the head of this party. Was a humanoid figure in blue robes and a golden-eyed mask. The second had cybernetic arms and legs and was covered in a burlap robe. While the third was behind the two other figures, wearing chains and concealed entirely by robes. "We have a bounty for Tylmaffa the Toad." The blue figure said. "We will speak to him, and him alone. Stand aside or die."The guards looked at each other. "Can we at least get a look at-" the figure in the burlap arms transformed into plasma guns. "-the lock to the gate yes!" The guards hastily opened the gates. "Triggermen with a bounty wish to speak with Master Tylmaffa!"The three of them made their way through the ancient building. Built some ten-thousand years ago, when the Fallen Commonwealth was still in its relative infancy. They made their way through the hallways. They reached the throne room and were surrounded by aliens of all kinds.Sat Thylmaffa 'the Toad' Er'iut Cij'il-Ised. A corpulent creature, even by the standards of the obese Do'at's. "Triggerman... if you're offering your services. I'm afraid I've got my fill of you." He said, gesturing in the direction of Sellis S'word. The Triggerman who brought Jon in, in the first place."No. We're offering one he missed." The blue-robed figure tore off the robes on the prisoner. Revealing him to be G'rok. "Jon Lones co-pilot."The entire court reacted with surprise. "Well that's quite something," Thylmaffa said. "Why didn't you get the Housekarl?" He said to Sellis.G'rok repressed an angry squawk. Remembering the history of his people, when the Ven-iic'day people served the Do'at's as elite warriors. During the ancient War of Broken Chains, they betrayed the Do'at's to help humanity to gain their freedom. As punishment, the Do'at's devastated the Ven-iic'day colonies, this only hardened their former servents' resolve to defy the Do'at's."We wish to discuss a price. Fifty million dollars." The blue-robed figure said.Thylmaffa spluttered. "FIFTY! MILLION!? I offered half that for Lone!""Fifty Million... or else." The blue robbed figure removed a grenade from their robes. On it was a rune that filled everyone with terror."A Uranian grenade... I like your spunk!" Thylmaffa said in delight. "Fifty million!" A robot gave the robed triggermen some briefcases full of money. "You may have the run of my palace, the both of you.""We'll take G'rok to the dungeons ourselves." The blue-robed figure said, the three of them went down the stairs into the poorly lit dungeon. "We're in." The figures then removed their robes. Revealing themselves to be Dawn Windchaser and P-727.G'rok squawked in relief. "I can't believe it worked either," P-727 said. "I still think the fake Uranian was overkill for the bit.""Let's just focus, and find Jon," Dawn said as she unsheathed her Weave-Sword. The three of them didn't have to search for long. They found Jon Lone, the last captain, and owner of the Infinity Eagle. "Jon!""Stars... It's been years since I've seen a body in such bad shape." P-727 was in disbelief.G'rok snarled angrily as he barged into Jon's cell. And undid Jon's chains. "G'rok... is that you? Old buddy?" Jon asked, sounding tired and tired. G'rok asked something in the squawking language of the Ven-iic'day. "What didn't... they do to me?" He asked rhetorically. "The big thing they took... was my sight." And to everyone's shock, he had in fact been blinded.G'rok roared in rage. "Easy buddy, revenge won't bring back his eyes." P-727's reassurance was ignored as G'rok waddled out of the cell, muttering angrily to himself. "Listen! You can't take down Thylmaffa by yourself!""Where... where are the others?" Jon muttered."What others?" Dawn asked."Lumi... Ori... YB... they tried to break me out a week ago." Jon's words made the entire cell block go silent."Lumi... he and the others tried to break you out?" Dawn asked."I... I only heard their voices. Couldn't tell you if... if Vee-Xen or anyone else was here." Jon said."What's he planning for them?" Dawn asked."There... there going to be thrown to Riesenspinne!" A cold chill went down Dawn's spine from Jon's words. Nobody is entirely sure, but Conoveen is home to a species of giant spiders. One of the most infamous is Riesenspinne. The so-called 'Queen of Conoveen'."Wait!" Dawn shouted. "Guys, we need to save Lumi and the others! Jon, I know you're in pain. But we need to know how he plans to execute them!"None of them suspected, that a pair of frog-like eyes saw everything. And made its way to Thylmaffa. "Toad Lord... our visitors are not who they said they were. They wish to free Jon, and rescue the Prince in exile." The frog-like alien said.Dawn and P-727 reapplied their disguises. "Lord Thylmaffa... my friend and I, would like to join you for the execution of Lumi Lawgiver. I also believe that G'rok should behold the death of his former friends, and Jon Lone should be executed as well."Thylmaffa smiled, fully aware of who these 'triggermen' were and what they planned to do. "I don't see why not. The more the merrier!"Later, onboard Thylmaffa's ship. Dawn, G'rok. and P-727 found Lumi, YB-22, and Ori-Eon. "Lumi... what happened?""Dawn... stars and Never-Born Father... it's good to see you again." Prince Lumi said in awe."Just tell me what possed you to do this?" Dawn asked."You... can blame my mother for this," Ori-Eon said. "She said we... we needed to get our merry band back together. An opportunity... to kill Baal'riig V'cul-"Dawn snarled. "Everything always circles back to that insane... WITCH!""Dawn... I was wrong. I was so, so wrong..." Lumi said. "We can't win this war... we can't liberate the galaxy... and I can't do this without you anymore!""He isn't wrong Windchasser," Ori-Eon said. "The Hegemony... they've unleashed horrors, the likes of which haven't been seen since the Imperiat Twilight! Some even worse than that!""I've... I've seen it myself. My... revenge. Is not worth so many lives." Lumi lamented. "Just... please... get us out of here."P-727 noticed something was wrong with YB-22. "Kid... what's wrong with you? You don't look like you're own step away from a-""Oh, hello there. My designation is YB-22." YB-22 interrupted. "A Servos Oculus, 1999-P.""Don't tell me," P-727 said in disbelief. "They reset his memory, didn't they?""He was screaming in terror as his memories were erased," Ori-Eon said. "Apparently he's to be sacrificed to the Spider Queen.""As shall you!" Said a few guards that caught up with our heroes. "By order of Thylmaffa the Toad! You are to be eaten by Riesenspinne!"Dawn just smirked. "I was wondering when you boys would try something." She then smashed the cell door with her Weave-Sword. "Prison break!" Lumi and Ori-Eon, despite being exhausted, and in no condition to fight. Tackled the guards. "Let's get out of here. We need to get Jon!""Agreed... it's about time we got back together." Lumi said."Oh dear, we knew each other before my latest memory erasure didn't I?" YB-22 said sheepishly."I'll explain when we're safe," P-727 said. Dawn hastily broke Jon out of his cell and carried him on her muscular shoulders, and injected him with an adrenaline shot. Then our heroes made their way out of the cell block. Unfortunately, they accidentally ran into Thylmaffa's throne room."Well... don't just stand there! Capture them!" The Do'at crimelord barked to his underlings. "I ain't one for Riesenspinne going hungry!"Though Thylmaffas thugs were infamous for their ruthlessness. That only gave them a slight advantage over Dawn and her friends. "YB! Access this ship's computer!" Dawn commanded."I'm sorry," YB-22 said cordially. "But I cannot access a computer without the owners-""JUST DO IT!" P-727 shouted. "We both know that's just you being nice, not any kind of programming!""Alright..." YB-22 muttered to himself as he went to a nearby terminal. "So bossy... okay. I've accessed the ship's systems.""Ready to blow the ship's reactor!" Dawn commanded as she threw a fireball at a thug."What?!" YB-22 shouted in disbelief. "That could kill all of us!""Hasn't befallen any of us yet! Just do it, please!" Ori-Eon said as he did a roundhouse kick to a thug."Well, at least you have manors," YB-22 said as he accessed the reactor. "Okay... I'm setting a timer for the reactor! Fifteen minutes should be enough time for us to get out of here alive!""You'll set it for five, and be happy!" P-727 barked as he disintegrated a thug."Five it is..." YB-22 said with resignation. "Please escape before this blows.""You'll do no such thing!" Thylmaffa yelled. "Nobody, but NOBODY interrupts my pre-execution snack!"Jon, who was barely conscious, and fighting the hardest out of all of them due to sheer hunger-induced fatigue. Glared daggers at Thylmaffa. "TOAD!" Shouted Jon, surging through the throng of thugs, shooting anyone who got in his way. "WORKING FOR YOU! WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!""And employing you has proven to be more trouble than it's worth!" Thylmaffa snapped. "You could've been big... but you just had to throw your lot in the Coalition like every other idiot dreamer in this galaxy! The Coalition is on its last legs boy! The Hegemony can't be beaten! Tur'viir should've been the first clue about how lost that cause-"Thylmaffa choked, as Lumi took a nearby cable, and wrapped it around Thylmaffa's neck. "TUR'VIIR LIVES! UNLIKE YOU!" Lumi pulled with all of his strength, tighter and tighter until Thylmaffa 'the Toad' Er'iut Cij'il-Ised breathed his last breath. And died. "Good riddance... YB, where are we in relation to Riesenspinne's lair?""We're a mile away and closing fast to the ship's preprogrammed destination," YB-22 said."Redirect the ship to crash into the lair! We'll get escape pods and get out of here!" Lumi said.G'rok squawked. "Agreed, we can't waste another moment with these dregs!" Ori-Eon said. Our heroes ran through the ship, and each group went into the escape pods."Look at the size of her!" Dawn said in shock, as Riesenspinne herself. The Black Spider Queen of Conoveen herself was outside of her lair. The spider was at least the size of a Hegemony corvette and possessed eight pairs of hairy legs instead of four pairs, eight pairs of bright ruby red eyes, and a gaping maw filled with razor-sharp fangs."I wonder if she likes fried toad?" P-727 said as the ship crashed, and exploded. Enraging the monstrous spider. "No, guess not."Several hours later, our heroes returned to the Infinity Eagle. "My girl... you've actually cleaned her up," Jon said in disbelief."We had an entire year to plan your rescue. There was more than enough time to do a little light housework." Dawn said. G'rok squawked. "I know there was nothing light about the work. But then again you both had ample time to clean up in what little downtime we had before Ara'Has."It was then that Ori-Eon noticed something odd. "Dawn... was this note here when you arrived?" He said as he took a piece of paper with strange runes on it.Dawn took the paper. "Well, I can't read this. Why would I keep a note that I couldn't read?""Then I'm sorry to say, Spaarti most likely infiltrated the Infinity Eagle while you were away," Ori-Eon said. "Or at the very least someone who can write fluently in the language. It says to meet at the Conoveen town of Pol-Harash. And something about a promise to help the Coalition."Several hours later, the ship arrived at Pol-Harash. It was late at night, but Dawn and Lumi found who they were looking for. It was a robed figure, sitting by a campfire. "Hail... Children of Haristas. I am honored that you answered my note."Dawn and Lumi sat next to the fire. "Who are you? And why did you want to see us?" Dawn asked.The stranger chuckled. "Who I am is not important. What I need to tell you both, is what matters most." The stranger then took out a sword. "I need not tell you... that the Phoenix Coalition is losing this war. Baal'riig V'cul has used blasphemous technology to bolster the Hegemonies armies.""I'm acutely aware of that," Lumi said grimly. "I was at J'kasa, when legions of Men with the same face butchered a town that sympathized with the Coalition, down to the last child. I saw as Colonel Yancy turned into a silver tendril, and slaughtered his command staff right as we were supposed to liberate R-Hag III.""I know... so I shall get to my point." The stranger then held up the sword. "Take this to Valarian Sparta-Primaris, Prince of the Spaarti. If you give this to him, he and his clan will provide the aid that the Coalition desperately needs. And then some."Dawn looked over the sword. It looked like a fairly simple sword, it seemed simply designed with a red blade and a black handle. She could easily tell it wasn't a Weave-Sword, not even a primitive one. "Why would the Spaarti care about this?""I'm not surprised you don't know... this is a relic of the War of Broken Chains. One that belonged to Sparta Toadsbane himself." The stranger said. "I'm certain you've noticed that they've remained out of this war until now.""They're supposed to be the strongest warriors in the galaxy," Lumi said. "But to my knowledge, they've never so much as given the Hegemony a nasty glare since the end of the Conflagration.""Bring this to Valarian of Clan Sparta-Primaris. And they will more than makeup for lost time." The Stranger said. "Go to the planet, Ba-Stonia. Clan Sparta-Primars holds court on the world. You will need to fight, to prove yourselves worthy of an audience with Valarian.""Alright... we'll leave for Bo-Stania in the morning," Dawn said. "But first... you need to tell us who you are. Why are we here, specifically?"The Stranger sighed. "That... is not an easy story to tell. I was a Squire during the Conflagration... and I saw that war tear apart everything I knew and cared for torn asunder. I despaired... and in that despair, I found a new purpose. I'm certain I don't need to tell you this. But an ancient shadow from the past has fallen on the galaxy."Dawn and Lumi knew exactly what the Stranger meant. "Obitus... yes, we found an Empress on Salvagia.""And it's too late to terminate this threat now. If nothing is stopped, the Obitus will rise in power... and all we love will be lost. Baal'riig V'cul is beyond all reason, and will not listen to any counsel that would tell her to cease her war-making. So many... so many things need to be put into motion to save all life in our galaxy." The Stranger rambled"I see..." Dawn said grimly. "We need to restore the Gladius Templars.""And reunite the Children of Sparta with their kin... as for why. This town... is where M'windo Windchaser and Baal'riig V'cul spent their formative years. Before they were discovered by Ji Go-Qi, the Master of Gon-Lor Baratha. Where circumstance forced them to hide away on Conoveen." The Stranger said. "If you must know me by a name... Andraste must do. I will take my leave."
Zootopia Files: BurglaryThe Scapesons were like any family in Zootopia. Or at least, a loose 50's ideal of any family of Zootopia. There was the father, Eric Scapeson, the patriarch of the family, who worked at a local business that provided him and his family more money than he rightly knew what to do with. Then there was his wife, Natasha, Russian by birth, who was the homemaker, despite her dark and sketchy past. Then there was their son, Robert, compared to his parents he didn't seem to fill the image of a 1950s sitcom family.For one thing, he had Down syndrome, and for another, he was a video game streamer. So naturally, he didn't quite fit in with the image his parents gave off. But despite this, and other factors. The family was quite happy... at least until today."Okay sport," Eric said to Robert as they were driving home from a movie. "That movie was terrible, and you're mother and I are sorry for dragging you to see it."Robert just pouted, annoyed that his parents forcefully dragged him to a three-hour-long movie. "Look darling, when we get home, you can stay up as long as you need to, to detox from a terrible movie."Robert grudgingly smiled a little. This smile faded when they got within sight of their house. "Well we're home and- what the?!" Eric was shocked to see the sight of the Scapeson house, its windows smashed in and the front door was broken in."What happen?" Robert asked in shock."I don't know... but they are dead mammals when I get my hooves on them." Natasha seethed.XXXXIt wasn't too long before the ZPD arrived on the scene. "Well, we've given your place the once over." Nick Wild said to the shocked goats. "Looks like whoever robbed you went after the high-tech stuff Robery uses for streaming.""Well, that's not good," Eric said. "Our sons streaming is very important to him, and to our families income." He said as his son started hyperventilating."With luck, we'll find the stolen items within the week," Nick said. "As it stands the whole scene looks rushed. Though that doesn't explain how they got away with so much hardware without anyone noticing.""Nick!" Judy said from inside the house. She then went outside to her husband. "Harry and Sawa examined this, it's a clue." She said, producing a piece of wool with a bloodstain on it."Oh... you've got to be kidding me," Nick said, realizing the implications. "Please tell me this isn't from who I think it is.""They were certain, it's Bellwether," Judy said. "Her blood is on this.""Bad sheep back?!" Robert yelled. "Why she take my stuff?!""Calm down Robertski," Natasha said to her neurodivergent son. "Mommy will help the nice police officers reclaim you're video gaming equipment.""Uh, ma'am... that's not allowed," Judy said."I do not care. This Bellwether messed with my family. I want to look ewu in her eyes when she is caught." Natasha said, clenching her hoof.XXXXThe following day, Natasha Scapeson was looking over files at Precinct 1. "Remind me again why she's here?" Bogo asked Nick and Judy."All we're going to say is that she's... really persuasive," Nick said."Blackmail, gotcha," Bogo said. "Won't even ask what, or how she got her hooves on it... also, shouldn't Carrotson and Otocyon be following that lead of there's?""Well apparently, the scent on the piece of wool wasn't enough to track her down, just to identify her," Judy said, rolling her eyes."Of course... at this point, I'm not even surprised," Bogo said as he rolled his eyes. "They're both competent officers, and their Vampiric powers are a boon. But frankly, I always found the limitations of Vampire powers to be really annoying." He ranted. "Seriously, there like, a step removed from that Ancient One. You'd think they'd be able to figure this case out on their own... and who even is Mrs. Scapeson?""I'll be honest, I don't think we've even spoken since that... thing with Badgerton, the first time around," Nick admitted, referring to the incident where Badgerton blackmailed Robert into trolling Davies."I think I saw here a few times at the grocery store, but we never talked," Judy admitted. "Honestly, we haven't had much reason to go see them after that.""Fair enough," Bogo said. "Though to be honest... I'm actually looking forward to a normal case for once.""And just like that, you jinxed it buffalo butt," Nick said sardonically.Natasha then left the room where the files were kept. "I have what I came here for... you two have been at the center of a lot of strange things," Natasha said."Did you find anything useful about this case?" Judy asked."I have lead on where Bellwether may be hiding," Natasha said."Now that, I find hard to believe," Bogo said. "You were in there for what, fifteen minutes? My people are good, but even the Samual sisters take at least twenty minutes for information gathering.""All I can say is that I am old pro, as you Americans say, at information gathering," Natasha said.XXXXSeveral hours later, everyone was outside of the Cliffside Asylum. "Wow... it's been a long time since we came here." Nick said."Yeah... remember when I distracted the wolf guards with a fake howl?" Judy said nostalgically. "And when we were almost caught, by Lionheart's guards and I flushed us down the-" This reminiscing was interrupted by Natasha breaking into the abandoned asylum."So what do you think Yakkity Yak is doing now?" Nick asked. "Mullersons dead, Draco is more or less out of the picture. You think she's working with that alien warlord our future selves have been talking about?""Irrelevant," Natasha said. "She steals from my family, that only reason I even bother with this.""Which reminds me, who are you?" Judy asked. "You track down one of the most loathed criminals in the city's history, in less time than two ex-robotized okapi's, and me, and most Mammals that could track.""Carrots," Nick whispered. "I'm curious too, but I think this can wait until we get on Bellwether and recover the stolen goods."The three Mammals went deeper into the asylum, since the Night Howler Crisis the place had been abandoned yet again. Though as far as people knew, it stayed that way since Bellwether's failed attempt to solidify power in Zootopia, turning it into some sort of police state where Prey dominated Predators."Well, this place is about as warm and welcoming as the last time we were here," Judy said.As they looked around, they heard whispering noises over the PA system. "Wow. If I were a kitt, I'd be terrified." Nick said sardonically."Why do you invade my fortress of solitude?" The voice whispered."Don't play games with us, Dawn," Judy said sternly. "You can clearly see us, and we can hear you.""Just turn over the stolen computer stuff, and we won't rough you up before we arrest you. Promise!" Nick said.Dawn dryly chuckled. "Oh please... I'm beyond petty threats now. Come if you must... you might not leave.""Refresh memory, she was glorified secretary for Lionheart when he was mayor, yes?" Natasha asked."That's correct!" Dawn answered chipperly. "I was... but then, during my work with Draco Long-Fang. I thought I found something that could save me... but I was wrong... so, so wrong.""And this is related to the theft of Robert Scapesons computer... how?" Judy asked."What?... oh, that," Bellwether said. "Well, see I thought I could... appease what I found... but it didn't work out like I thought it would." Then Nick tripped over a box, containing all of the high-tech computer equipment that was stolen. "You may take it back... but take heed. Darkness is coming upon the world.""We're aware of Demiurge," Judy said. "Long story there, an alien warlord who created Vampires here.""Believe me... Demiurge the Despoiler is a tantrum-throwing toddler compared to the horrors I've stumbled upon." Dawn said ominously. "Just go... well see each other again soon enough.""Yeah, you still have a lot to answer for Lambchop," Nick said, then he screamed when Dawn entered the hallway, her body covered in patches of writhing tentacles."I have not missed you're puns and wordplay Officer Wilde... and you scream like you've got your tail caught in a bear trap," Dawn said, her voice sounding distorted and deep."Dawn?! What in Frith's name happened to you?!" Judy said in shock."I delved too deep... I stared into the abyss, and I blinked." Dawn said ominously."Was this before," Nick began. "Or after-""AFTER! I LEFT! LONG-FANG!" Dawn roared. "Seriously... Judy, what do you see in this annoying Pred?""His name is Nick!" Judy shot back. Unfortunately, Dawn's tentacles caught the bullets."I could live to the very end of flesh and think... and I will never understand what you see in him. Even if he were Prey." Dawn said. "I'm only going to say this one more time. Either leave of your volition... or I will make you leave.""You're coming with us!" Judy said as she pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Dawn teleported them, and the stolen computer equipment all away with her Eldritch magic."Would things be different if Judy never came to Zootopia?... not enough time to figure that one out," Dawn said as she went back into her room.XXXX"So... Dawn had what?" Bogo said in disbelief."Tentacles, and lots of them!" Nick said, still freaking out."She claims to have communed with some kind of... thing underneath the Cliffside Asylum," Judy explained.Bogo looked terrified. "I... I can't believe it. She did it, it's been over thirty years. But it's free!" He said in disbelief."Wait... what's under that asylum?" Nick asked. "I mean yeah, it's a creepy abandoned asylum, but that was all I ever got from it.""That was the idea... I don't know how Bellwether did it. But she's unleashed something that should NEVER be unleashed." Bogo said ominously. Then Clancy teleported in, right into Bogo's hoof. "Mind explaining what you're doing here? Are you going to do something useful this time? Or just pop in, say something annoyingly cryptic, and leave without another word?""Well actually, I'm here to provide video footage of the incident in question," Clancy said."Is this going to take long?" Nick said. "The babysitter is running long and we need sleep.""I didn't say it would happen right away. You're perfectly capable of going home, and coming back in the morning for this." Clancy said.
Zootopia Files: Zootopia Files 64Nick and Judy found themselves on another bizarre adventure. "Carrots... I don't know how. But I think we're inside of a Nintendo 64 game." Nick said, as indeed he and his wife looked like they were made of blocky graphics."Uh... what happened this time?" Judy said in irritation. "Okay... stay calm Judy. Just remember what you did this morning." She said to herself. "We got up, had breakfast, got to work, then we got a call from Davies and... oh no.""Judy? What's wrong?" Nick asked.Meanwhile in the real world. Davies and his wife Anna were playing with a Nintendo 64 console. "So... if we beat the game, they'll be able to leave right?" Davies asked."With luck, yes. That will be enough to free them." Anna said. "Next time Josephus shows us something he found. Let's try to ignore him, shall we?""I was against using my sister and brother-in-law as guinea pigs for this thing in the first place," Davies said. "Now... what kind of game is this?""What are we talking about?" Anna asked.Davies rolled his eyes in disbelief. "Do I need to show you the PowerPoint AGAIN?"Anna's eyes widened with terror. "No! No, I get you're point! We need to figure out how to play this game." Anna then took a controller and fiddled with it. "Okay... I got Judy... and we need to find a tutorial.""Carrots, why are you jumping?" Nick said in bewilderment. "Are you-""Nicholas Piberius Wilde," Judy seethed. "You know the price for making that kind of joke.""I have to sleep on the couch, I know," Nick said.XXXXOver the next several hours, Nick and Judy ran and jumped through an ancient 3D environment. As in, the 3D itself is antiquated. "Somehow, I just know that Davies and Anna are controlling us," Nick said."Oh, you think?" Judy said sardonically."Okay, I think we're at the end boss," Davies said."We beat this villain, and they'll be free?" Anna asked."Probably, and if not we'll annoy Josephus until he does something," Davies said. Nick and Judy entered an arena... and Dawn Bellweather was the end boss. "You know, I don't remember the last time we saw hide or fleece of that ewe.""I think she disappeared after the Battle of Zootopia and nobody noticed," Anna said.It took several hours for the young couple to beat the end boss, taking at least as long as it took them to get to that point. By the end, the two of them were manically laughing. "So... what's so funny?" Josephus said as he entered the room drinking some blood."We spent an entire day playing a video game!" Davies said.Josephus looked at the TV, as Nick and Judy debated what was happening. "Oh... so you didn't know about the reset button?""What?" Anna said in disbelief.Josephus then went over to the Nintendo 64 and pressed the clearly marked 'reset' button. Causing Nick and Judy to appear in the living room. "See? I'm honestly surprised that Davies didn't say anything." Josephus said.Nick and Judy were relieved to be back in the real world. "Josephus... would you kindly drive Nick and Judy to their home?"XXXX"Well, this was about the worst chapter so far." Clancy the time-traveling AI said candidly.Authors Note: And he's more than likely right. The only reason I even wrote the title and plotted it as such was to keep track of how many chapters there were... not to mention that I missed the six-year anniversary of this movie by two weeks, and... well to be perfectly honest I'm more then a little burnt out. I want to get this up to one-hundred chapters, I really do. But right now, I have very little material to go on. I got writer's block, and to be honest there's too much story for me to remember. So if the next couple of chapters are a little short and/or dry, that's why.So... see you.

Super Smash Bros: Valiant Struggle- Ch. 7Chapter 7- The Discussion The garden outside of Peach's castle was a calm and quiet place. It was the perfect spot for a nice chat or a quiet retreat from a busy or stressful day. Peach began to walk over to one of the fancy outdoor tables where her friends were waiting eagerly. In her hands was a fancy teapot which had just been used to brew some warm tea. She was soon joined by Princess Zelda who was carrying a tray of hot biscuits that were fresh from the oven. The two of them set their goodies down on the table before taking their seats. Mario, who was sitting patiently and waiting for the two ladies to return, began to look around the table. "So this is it then?" he finally spoke, "This is our current team?" Zelda nodded in response. "Some others are here too," she replied, "But their injuries from the attack were great. I'm afraid they haven't awoken yet." Mario began to look a bit unhappy before returning to his determined demeanor. "That's fine. I understand. We'll let them rest up and we'll get them up to speed on the situation when they wake up," he responded. Peach picked up the teapot and slowly started to pour everyone some tea. "How do you feel about peppermint?" she asked Alex. Alex looked at the tea for a moment. "I'm not really a tea drinker, but I'd like to try some," he responded after a moment of contemplation. He was then poured some tea into his cup. Alex picked up the cup and slowly took a sip. The tea was a very weird mixture of sweet and bitter flavors. Despite the strange taste, it gave Alex a very warm feeling that soothed his whole body and made him feel calm. He couldn't help but smile at the warm feeling he had received which didn't go unnoticed by Peach. She returned the smile, happy that Alex was enjoying the tea. "I guess it's time we told the whole story," Mario finally spoke, "Now that we're safe, we can finally get into the juicy details." Alex looked at Mario. "The.... juicy details?" he asked in a puzzled tone. "It's about the Shadow Dwellers," Palutena suddenly spoke up. All eyes were turned on her. "We know you got the details as to how and why we got into this situation, but I don't think anyone has informed you about the Shadow Dwellers themselves." Alex just stared in puzzlement. "But Mario said you guys didn't know much about them!" he responded. "Mario doesn't," Palutena began, "But I know a bit more about them." This news greatly shocked Alex who then turned to Mario. "I'm sorry I couldn't give you any details on the group themselves," Mario said, "We just didn't know enough about them at the time we first met them. But Palutena had the resources and the knowledge necessary to find out more. We asked her to do some research." Palutena slowly nodded. "Well did you figure anything out? What's wrong with these guys? Why are they after you?" Alex began to eagerly beg. He wanted to know these answers more than ever at this point. After a deep breath, Palutena finally began to explain."The Shadow Dwellers are a group of very powerful individuals that have existed for a long time," she explained, "They were founded sometime after the Super Smash Brothers were founded. I still don't know why they were made or why it was around that specific time period that they formed. But based on the timing of their formation and their current actions of wanting to steal our essence, my best guess is that they were formed with the sole purpose of achieving some nefarious goal that relates to our group. Something tells me that they were biding their time for this moment. Waiting until they had the opportunity to come into contact with us. Either that or they waited for us to gain more members and, in turn, more power for them." Alex stared in both shock and awe. A group founded with the purpose of hurting the Super Smash Brothers was outlandish and horrific to think about."You met Kuma already, am I right?" she then asked. Alex simply nodded, "I think Pit said something about him earlier." "Kuma is the group's strongest warrior!" Pit explained, "He's also the biggest! He's as big as a grizzly bear! And he has the strength to match!" "Not to match," Palutena retorted, "He's much stronger than a bear. You and I both saw how he tackled Bowser and Ganondorf to the ground almost effortlessly!" Pit shuddered a bit at the remark. "Don't remind me," he shakingly responded. By the sounds of it, it seemed like Kuma scared even a tough angel like Pit and a goddess like Palutena. "Yeah you're right," Luigi agreed, "Not even the seven of us teaming up could handle him! How are we ever going to defeat the others?" Alex began to look nervous once again. "How many members are there?" he asked nervously. Palutena noticed his nervous expression. "As far as we know, there's eight of them," she replied, "But you don't have to worry. None of us expect you to engage in any dangerous battles." "Although, it's really impressive that you worked up the courage to fight a beast like that!" Zelda spoke up, "Any normal person would've run for the hills the moment they saw a big guy like Kuma! But you went up and tossed yourself onto him! But don't take that with a swelled head! That was still reckless of you considering your lack of fighting experience!" Alex suddenly went from a nervous expression to a flustered one. After all, Zelda had a point. He had no fighting experience and was especially inexperienced with getting into fights. Yet he still had the nerve to go and attack someone who was greatly feared by his crew and who was much bigger in size than him. "I know," he softly replied, "I had no reason to engage in that fight. Especially one that I could've been easily killed in. But I couldn't just stand by and let you guys get attacked. I had to do something." Mario started to feel bad for Alex. "Don't beat yourself up about it," he said, "You did us a favor!" "You really did!" Peach agreed, "You gave me and the girls enough time to step in and help everyone escape! If it weren't for you, one of us could've been badly hurt! Or worse!" This made Alex feel a little better. It was almost like he was being praised as a hero. "Not bad for an intern!" Mario chuckled, "But now we should discuss you being involved." Mario's tone quickly went back to being serious. "There's no doubt that Kuma now sees you as a threat just like us," Mario explained to Alex. Peach gasped a bit in response. "Oh dear!" she exclaimed, "I remember now! Shulk said that he foresaw a bystander getting involved with this situation!" "Shulk knew about this?!" Alex replied in shock. Mario looked at Alex in sorrow. "Again, I am so sorry," he apologized, "We should've listened to him. Instead, we just tried to push this whole thing aside once it seemed like things had settled down. We were caught off guard. And now you, an innocent bystander, have to get involved." Alex was tempted to ask why him. But he already knew the answer. He was just unlucky enough to end up being hired during a troubling time for the Super Smash Brothers. It was a prime example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. "Well if I'm involved, I might as well continue to play my part," Alex spoke up, "I want to help you stop them!" Mario was surprised by this decision. "Are you sure?" he replied, "You could just stay here in the castle where it's safe! You should let us try and fix this mess!" But Alex shook his head in disagreement. "You say that I was always going to get involved," Alex stated, "So I might as well go with you guys! I can't just hide from these crooks now that they know about me! They might try to kill or capture me if I'm left on my own! I know I'm not strong or brave like you guys, but as an intern I should be doing everything I can to assist you!" Lemmy laughed a bit. "I always thought an intern's job was to get coffee and carry papers and stuff like that! Not literally fight other people's battles!" he said jokingly. Alex let out an annoyed groan. "Don't listen to him Alex," Pit said also seeming annoyed, "I think you deserve more than that! I know you'll do great!" Alex once again responded to the positive remark with a smile. "Can we please discuss the elephant in the room now?" Luigi nervously asked. Mario looked at him and nodded. "Right. We need to figure out how we're going to stop those guys and save our friends," he responded, "We're going to need a plan. Any ideas?" There was a long, drawn out silence. Everyone began to get lost in thought trying to think of anything that could help. But it seemed like no one could come up with any ideas. This began to discourage Mario a little. Without a proper plan of action, taking down the Shadow Dwellers and putting a stop to whatever plans they had would be difficult or even impossible.Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of a phone ringing. The group all turned their attention to Alex who began to look embarrassed. He quickly took out his phone to see who was calling. "Oh god! It's my mom!" he exclaimed before turning his attention to everyone else, "I think this is the part where I have to explain to her the situation. Should I tell her all the details or keep her in the dark as much as possible?" "Well we can't let the poor woman worry over the safety of her child," Mario sighed, "But I think it's best you tell her all the details so she fully knows your situation. Hopefully she understands." Alex nodded before stepping away to take the call. Everyone watched as he spoke to his mother from afar about the situation. But after a moment of talking, they began to notice his expression suddenly turn from one of worry to one of shock. A few more minutes go by before Alex simply nodded and hung up the phone. He then walked back to the group. "What was that about?" Mario asked worryingly. Alex stood silent for a moment. Then he finally spoke up, "She knows something." Everyone suddenly looked at Alex in complete shock. "What's that supposed to mean?" Mario asked in an alarmed tone. "I told her everything like you told me to. About you guys and the Shadow Dwellers and what was up with them." Mario began to look puzzled. "And?" he asked. Alex once again stood in silence for a moment before speaking in a very low tone, "She wants all of us to come to our home...."...

I've been writing a new poem called Our Teams. So I hope you like it.

OUR TEAMS

Four teams, each with a different essence
With a loud crowd that roars to the sky.
Each team has one correspondence,
To each other with ireful looks nearby.

As the time for the dispatch to be called,
Four teams assemble in one long row
Vertically; to each other, who will prevail
And will jump up to victory without fail.

Flags and gonfalons all together waved
For honour, harmony and honesty spread.
Confetti spread with four new colours,
Merrily, in the sky and clouds, they've fled.

The first two are the dragon and the lion;
Vying, against, with the dino and the shark.
In one, immense, colourful war they fight
Shan't give one's heart up to a black mark.

The screams and echos simultaneously died,
As the time for the final dispatch to be heard.
The sweat, the breathing; from arm and shin
The finals count on you: who will win?
