Hivebent

The trolls and KND were joyed to hear that Team Vweeb captured another Darkness. Upon their return to Hivebent, Eridan escorted them to the Penance Chamber to lock Zeref inside. "You don't really think this place will hold me?"

"If it doesn't, I'll kick your butt again!" Vweeb declared, bouncing.

"You were just praising Arianna for winning that fight!" Makava argued.

"She did it under my leadership. Aren't we called 'Team Vweeb'?"

"We never decided on a leader. I think Nebula named our team after you out of pity." Tron implied.

"And since then, we've been the best. Hey, and since Zeref was controlling the Inferi, keeping him in here should break that control, right?"

"Even if I cannot control them, the Inferi will not disappear unless I command them to." Zeref said. "But now that they have free will, it is likely that Lord English will send minions out to contain them. Hm hm hm… he's quite pitiful for a god."

"What does that mean?" Arianna asked, raising a brow.

"According to Bill, Lord English is afraid of ghosts."

"Afraid of ghosts?"

"Indeed. That's why he wanted me to create as many Inferi as possible. The fewer spirits, the better."

"Oi, why are you just telling our enemies his secrets?!" Blackbeard shouted. "Have you no loyalty to His Lordship?!"

"No. Not even a little."

"ZE HA HA HAAA! And here I was thinking I was by myself on the matter! Ya hear that, kids?! We're on the same side! Let us out of this cell and we can work together!"

"Would you please go urinate?" Arianna asked.

"The fuck??" Teach was baffled.

Vweeb hopped on Ari's shoulder and patted her neck. "Arianna, dearie… you no good at cursing. Please no cursing. Okay?"

"Yes, Vweeb." She blushed, embarrassed.

The aliens tore up the Catch Cards they found and allowed the prisoners to free roam the base. "These accommodations are dreadful." Ciel Phantomhive complained. "I feel like I'm in the poor house."

"Amazing job with defeating Zeref, Arianna!" Cheren waved. "I'm afraid Nebula already left. She's going with Sunni to search for Mew, and Vriska's showing them the way."

"You looked upset at that last part!" Ari giggled.

"Uh- I was?" he blushed.

"Uuuugh." Panini face-palmed.

"it seems The Thirteen have another member in their Backup Army" Eridan observed on his computer. "while I have no doubt the Encyclo can make short work of this 'Dark Oak', you have made the mistake of leaving Ganon and Thana unattended"

"We weren't planning to fight Ganon." Tron reasoned. "We knew we couldn't beat him. Besides, some guy in a white robe showed up to fight him for us."

"The same guy from before." Cheren recalled. "Did he give you a name?"

"There's a reason I refer to him as 'some guy in a white robe.'"

"There's a lot of weird idiots in this universe," said Karkat, "but the white-robed guy isn't familiar to me. Too bad Terezi isn't here to sniff his ass or something."

"Well, if Sunni is going after Mew, I think it's time I look for my Firstborn, too! Can you tell me where Azelf is?"

"Azelf and her hivemates are beyond our reach at this time. The planet where their Egg Chambers are is Alternia."

"Your homeworld? Ha ha, great! I've been dying to see Alternia!"

"Then GET READY to die a little more! Alternia is in a whole different region of the Incipisphere, across a large space called the Furthest Ring." Karkat used a gray marker to draw two arch-shaped lines. He wrote FURTHEST RING between the lines and drew circles on opposite sides of them. "It's infested with powerful space monsters. And what SUCKS is The Thirteen's forces have been freely warping between sides with Dimentio's help!"

"What sucks is your choice of color. You realize that marker is the same color as the floor, right?"

"I'M NOT A ***KING ART STUDENT! And QUIT FUCKING bleeping my bleeping swears, you inconsistent censor machine!"

"If Dimentio's ***king warping his friends," Jessie argued, "why can't Nebula?!"

"Prob'ly because Lord English put the picture of the other side in Dimentio's mind. You can't warp where you haven't been. As soon as Terezi and Vriska come back, we can schedule a voyage across the Ring."

"In that case, I'll just be off to the Planet Tree." Cheren went God Tier and prepared to fly out.

"Why the heck ARE YA?!" Panini shouted.

"Because I wanna see if that white guy's still around!" Cheren passed them a grin and shot off like a comet.

Planet Loktup

Following Terezi's directions, Sector KB and Kimaya flew to a yellow and purple planet with intricate designs and giant keyholes taking up most of the surface. "Is that a planet, or Arceus' secret chest of naughty knick-knacks?" asked Hibiki.

"May not be his only secrets." Bon Clay winked.

"The K3YHOL3S are really humongous canyons." Terezi informed. "But you're right, 4rceus was thinking W4Y too much about keys when he designed this planet. Kimaya, you attached those 1nnocent things to your Keyblades, right?"

"Yup." Kimaya had two small, bright green, gear-like objects attached to either Keyblade, courtesy of Allen Walker. "So, with these, I can kill them robots?"

"He ain't say nothin' about killin' no robots." Clay replied. "He said yo' breakin' their prisons and freein' their souls! Because all souls deserve to be free, that's what it means to be alive!"

"Yeah, except the part about bein' dead."

The Swan Scamper landed on a platform standing miles above the base of a canyon. The landscape was composed of huge, smooth and posh structures shaped like chains or symbols. Everything had yellow edges with purple insides and intricate symbols within them. It seemed the only way off this platform was a long grind-rail sloping down. "I tell ya, this planet would make a R4D1C4L skate park!" Terezi said as she placed a skateboard on the floor. "Hey, try not to make me look bad as we're doing this."

"Make YOU look bad? Girl, ain'tchu freakin' blind??"

"Yes, and if 1 keep having to smell your stench, my NOS3 will be blind! That's another reason 1 want you to stay behind me: so 1 don't have to smell YOURS!" Terezi hopped on her board and slid down the rail.

"O-kay, thin: I like her." Kimaya smirked, hopping her own board and shredding after Terezi. (Play "The Promised Beginning" from Birth By Sleep!)

Stage F-10: Land of Locks and Secrets

Mission: Find the Keyblade Master!

Kimaya felt a rush of excitement going down the rail, following Terezi in jumping great gaps to several scattered rails. "K3YG1RL, 3Y3S FRONT!" Terezi shouted when round gateways rose to block their path—the first one had one keyhole, the second had two, the third had four, but Kimaya could shoot quick light bullets and unlock them—right after, they had to jump another gap.

"Maybe I SHOULDA gone front!"

The girls landed on a floating, rotating platform, the first of a series they had to jump across while avoiding the shockwaves cast by Seemos (Beamos that attack in a 360-degree direction). The path ended at a larger platform, where two giant normal Beamos sat over the chasm and shot lasers. Kimaya deflected them with either Keyblade and redirected the beams into the opposite Beamos, burning them to death. A series of gear-shaped locks appeared over the chasm, and when Kimaya cast a Key Beam at the first one, a light chain yanked her toward the gear. Terezi grabbed onto her when this happened, and kept hold as Kimaya repeated the action six times.

They landed on the edge of a giant gear with few footholds. "H3R3 TH3Y COM3!" Terezi sniffed when 10 Level 1 Akuma rose from below. Kimaya powered her Keyblades up with Innocence and effortlessly slashed through the robots' armor. The robots that were formerly invincible could now be defeated after a few nimble jumps over platforms and quick Keyblade cuts. "1'm amazed you learned how to use the 1nnocence in barely no time at all."

"It took a few hours to let 'em adapt to the Keyblades."

"Perhaps 1 just fell asleep out of BOR3DOM."

Speaking of boredom, the girls found a lock on one side of the giant gear, attached to a bar going down. Kimaya stuck a key in and had to twist the device all the way around. "UGH!" Since her average human steps were taking forever, Terezi got on her skateboard, grabbed Kim by the waist, and surfed perfectly around the gear while turning the lock. They made a full loop around the gear when another gigantic gear, this time vertical, rose from the chasm. "Unown! Unown! Unown!" A trembling occurred when the gear stopped rising, and black letter-shaped eyes flew out from where it came.

"Wait, I know those things, I seen 'em before!"

"TH3Y 4R3 UNOWN." Terezi said.

"I don't know what they are either."

"NO, DUMMY! TH3Y 4R3 UNOWN. Fragments 4rceus left behind."

"They were in mine and Xehanort's Gibberish Rock. Why was that?"

"That is unknown to me."

They were facing the side of the new gear, which had only one opening during its rotation. The two jumped through it and hugged the interior wall, and as the gear rotated upwards, the duo was continuously sliding in place as though prepped for a Wall Jump. The inside of the gear spiraled, leading the girls to its core, but when spring traps planned to fling them out, they Wall Kicked to the opposite wall and vice-versa. (The springs were marked with Bill's symbol, hinting their naughtiness.) A Catch Card was stuck between two Trick Springs, requiring a quick Wall Kick to and fro.

Inside the card was a glowing fairy named Navi. "HEY! HEY! LISTEN. HEY! LISTEN."

"SHUT UP, I'M BUSY!!"

Finally, a spring in the center sprung them toward a grind-rail, the duo quickly putting the skateboards under their feet. Kimaya used this time to crumple Navi's card and shove it in her pocket. The metal rail angled 90 degrees up into a giant lock, and no sooner did they go up the vertical rail that they stopped and were about to grind back. Kimaya quickly shot a Key Beam up to detach it from the lock, causing the whole rail to tilt, with the vertical end now sloping into another lock. Another rail seemed to stretch out the opposite side of said lock. "K1M4Y4, that rail smells loose! Lock it tighter!"

"Whoa! Okay!" Kimaya shot a Key Beam to perfectly seal that lock, thereby keeping the next rail from collapsing on them. The rail started diagonal, but became horizontal, then they were faced with the unnecessary complication of Seemos shockwaves trying to blow them off. They could rest on a stable platform, touching a Checkpoint to mark their progress.

Their journey would now take place over a great, long chain, where they could either cross the horizontal chain links or the vertical ones. Every few seconds, one of either set of chain links would electrify, forcing the girls to alternate between them. "Why couldn't we just get enemies on this thing?" Kimaya complained.

As she wished, giant Amps began to glide along the chain links. "H4PPY?" Kimaya could block their sparks by crossing the Keyblades. Soon, they reached the end of the chain, which went into a giant twistable code lock, followed by a cluster of chains blocking their view. "1 can hear as well as 1 smell. Leave this one to me." Terezi began to skateboard on the lock, turning it. She heard a click on the '7', jumped and about-faced, heard the '3' click, about-faced, and when the '5' clicked, all the obstructing chains retracted into the lock and opened the way. "4lso, there was a card in those chains."

"Why ain't you get it?"

"Because we couldn't have made the jump, DUMMY! But we can get it now." Terezi pointed partway up the chain path. Kimaya traveled along and found a card containing Daxter, an orange- and yellow-furred otter-weasel.

"What kind of animal are you?"

"I'm an Ottsel, sweetheart! And you must be some kind of monkey. I mean, no human has ears that small."

"I traded my big ears for a bigger attitude." Kimaya put him in her-

"HEY! LISTEN!" She was startled by Navi's shout.

"Hey, buzz off, fairy! There's only room for one annoying sidekick in this pocket!" Kimaya felt her pocket shake.

"Knock it off or ain't NO ONE gonna be in my pocket!" Kimaya punched them. She had to use the Chain Swing to latch to floating gear-locks and land herself and Terezi on a new platform. The girls were ambushed by 30 Mega Klefkis, and these key ring Pokémon had Keyblades making up their rings. The Pokémon quickly deflected Kim's light bullets, and they clashed their blades against hers with greater speed.

"KIII!" One of the Klefkis was stabbed by Terezi's walking stick. She extracted the stick and sniffed the blood. "YOW! So that's what Poké-blood smells like! I gotta try more of this stuff!" The other Klefkis spun their keys as they flew at her, bumping into one-another as Terezi vanished, moving too fast for the naked eye and stabbing more of them. When the Klefkis tried to focus on her, Kimaya attacked them from behind. A few moments later, the girls were victorious.

"Them things had more keys than Willy Wonka." Kimaya said, gasping for breath and sticking her Keyblades in the ground to prop herself up. "Where you learn to fight like that?"

"You think a BL1ND CH1CK would just lay around and let people sneak up on her? H3CK, we modeled Observation Haki after me when we were breeding Uxie's egg! 4nd it looks like 1'm needed again." Across the battlefield was a series of floating code-locks, divided by keyhole-shaped barriers. "1'll go first, but follow me quickly." Terezi skateboarded onto the first lock, turning it until she heard the click, then jumping as the barrier unlocked. She leaped to the next lock, but the previous one threatened to fall, so Kimaya quickly jumped it. They repeated the complicated process for five of these locks.

They landed and started grinding down a spiraling rail that was more like a giant spring. Indeed, a spring awaited them at the base of this rail, and no sooner than the second they touched it did they go flying across the canyon like a shooting star. They landed bumpily on a large piece of land, and after regaining their senses, they realized they were in a village of walking lock creatures with zipper mouths. "These are the Ziplups." Terezi said. "You won't find greater secret-keepers anywhere in the universe."

"Neato! You mind if I test that?" Kimaya smirked, Keyblades raised.

!!!! The Ziplups panicked at the sight of the keys. The silent citizens summoned Puplups, treasure chest puppies with sharp, barking teeth. "Why the hell would you think lock people would enjoy seeing giant keys?!" Terezi yelled, swiftly cutting Puplups with her stick. "Just skate past this town. I smell another Key-wielder nearby. Up there!" She pointed to a pillar across town.

Curious, Kimaya boarded her board and flew past the hordes of zipper-mouths. "Sorry!" Kimaya leapt, pulled her skateboard out from under her, and kicked off the face of a Ziplup (assuming it wouldn't hurt much). She landed on a roof and grinded a chain up to a platform, then one more chain up to the aforementioned pillar. There was a gigantic humanoid Shadow Heartless with a heart-shaped hole in its chest, finding a spike-haired boy in heavy, big-pocketed clothing. (End song.)

The Heartless – Darkside – charged a dark sphere in its hand and threw it down at the boy. He effortlessly dodged and ran up Darkside's arm, leaping to the head to cut the Heartless down the middle. Darkside vanished in a puff of darkness. The boy landed on his feet and propped the Keyblade over his shoulder. "I can't believe I used to be scared of that guy!" He grinned confidently. Feeling a presence behind him, he turned to Kimaya. "Huh? You don't look like you're from this world."

"You got a Keyblade!" Kimaya pointed at the silver key with her own Keyblade.

"It looks like you do, too." He approached her. "In fact… yours are Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Where'd you get those?"

"I got 'em from… Hold on, what's your name again?"

"It's Sora!"

"Sora?! I got 'em from YOU!"

"Me?"

"Yeah, you the one who wrote my Gibberish Rock! The one that had all the keys and them Dunno letter thingies."

"I… have NO idea what you're talking about. Hehe!" Sora laughed awkwardly.

"You sure you don't? The Lazarus Pit? The sick town? The prophecy?"

"Would this have anything to do with Xehanort or Lord English?"

"YES, YOU DUMBASS! How can you not remember anything?!"

"Hey, I'm sorry!" Sora flinched at her outburst. "I'm just confused. Why don't you explain it from the beginning?"

"Pssh, like I even know when that is."

Kimaya spent the next few minutes explaining how she became a Light and her apparent role as Keeper of the Keys. "And… I was the one who wrote the cube?"

"YEAH! I don't remember what you said, but Ah know it was you. And you got your own key!"

"It's just strange to me, because only official Keyblade Masters can give other people Keyblades. And I never passed my Mark of Mastery Exam. I couldn't have given you those Keyblades."

"Oh…" Kim stared at her keys. "I am SO confused."

"Heh heh heh! I don't understand how it works, either! Oh, well. It's nice to meet you… Uh, what's your name?"

"Kimaya. Wait a minute, I only came to find you so you could teach me how to use the Keyblades, and you don't know jack?"

"I never said that! I may not be a master, but I'm still really good! I got to Level 99, like, four times."

"No wonder I don't like RPGs."

"I'm not sure what that means, but if you need someone to teach you a few tricks, I'd be glad to!"

"A few tricks? What am I, a dog?"

"Ha ha ha ha!" They exchanged laughter. "Oh yeah, Kimaya, I found this talking card while I was down here. Does it look familiar?" Sora showed her a Catch Card containing Sally Harper.

"Hmmm… Nope, it ain't mine."

"Kimaya, I'm with Sector W!" Sally shouted. "Please, take me back to them!"

"I never seen you with them."

"You barely know us, of COURSE you haven't!"

"Fine, I'll take you."

"You aren't leaving that easy." a calm voice said.

"KIM!" Sora was quick to block Kim from a long sword.

"Those are strange swords you have." Sephiroth said. "The Darknesses use them, too."

"Sephiroth?! Why are you here?!"

"You seem to be mistaking me for a different Sephiroth. Bill told me of the version of me that exists in your world. I'll make sure you tell the difference." He flew in to attack, and just before Sora could counter, Terezi appeared and clashed with her cane.

"Oh gog, you smell awful!" Terezi hissed. "Worse than Kimaya!"

"Oh, SNAP!" Kimaya beamed, waving by her nose. "Whaddya say ta THAT, One-Wing?!"

"I meant the boy." Terezi corrected.

"Hey!" yelled Sora.

"Save it, K3Y-BOY! Take Kimaya and run! I'll do the cliché thing and sacrifice myself for her since she's the Chosen One."

"But I can help you fight him!" Sora insisted.

"Are you at Level 99 in this playthrough?" Kim asked.

"Uhhhh…" Sora was not. "Okay, but we'll come back for you!" He grabbed Kim and raised his Kingdom Key, vanishing in a beam of light.

Sephiroth warped every direction around Terezi, but she snuffed him out first and blocked each swing. "Tell me, Sephiroth… ever get your ass kicked by a blind girl?"

"I've killed blind animals."

"H33 H33. YOU WON'T TH1S T1ME!" >:]

Planet *insert name here*

As Sunni Chariton and Vriska stood on the edge of the Noah, they were slowly sailing to an expansive cyan planet. They were in the midst of entering the atmosphere when Vriska yelled, "ST8P!"

Augustus stomped the brake, bringing it to a sudden halt as everyone briefly lost balance. "If we go any farther, all hell you can imagine will 8reak loose."

"Why is that?" asked Sunni.

"This is the Land of Thought and Flow. It's extremely a8undant with Psychic Chi. Any person who can think can make just a8out anything. Unfortun8ly, if no one's around to think, this planet has nothing! That's why the actual planet doesn't have a name, 8ecause it can 8e anything you can imagine."

"Then I guess it's up to we psychicbenders!" Sunni beamed.

"Yeah… here's my thoughts on that." With that, Vriska slapped a chi-block sticker on Sunni's forehead.

"What gives?!"

"Chi Sta8ilizer to keep your imagin8ion under control. Sunni, no offense, 8ut if a crazy mind like yours got any closer to this planet, we would never find Mew. What we need is someone with a more calm flow in their thoughts. I'm sure you know the answer." :::: )

"Ohhhh…" ;) Sunni drew her lightsaber and cut a symbol in the deck. She used what psychic she could to summon Mary Goldenweek.

The girl was on her knees and drawing a crayon pic in her sketchbook. "Oh, hi, Sunni! I made this picture!" She held up the drawing of the Sector W7 crew holding each other's stubby hands in a chain.

"That's pretty, Mary! Can you ask April to come out?"

"Okay! Big Sister, Sunni would like to ask you something."

They watched as the crayon April seemed to lean forward. Her very arms emerged from the paper, attaining physical form as the actual person climbed out as if it were a sewer hatch. "Huff… Tight fit." She sported a laugh, getting to her feet. "Hi, Sunni! Are my friends doing well?"

"Yup! Enemies have been attacking them often, but they always managed."

"That's good. I feel bad not staying with them, but they insist I stay in hiding. Being a Chosen One is hard."

"I can imagine. Speaking of which, you see that planet down there?"

Sunni and Vriska explained their location and the planet's mechanics. "A planet that makes what you think? Hmmm…" Without hesitating, April jumped off the Noah. Sunni and Mary watched worriedly, the artist fell fast toward the surface. Suddenly, a blue mushroom poofed into being and bounced April to a large, safe platform, which also poofed out of nothing. Vriska passed the girls a grin and flew down to join her. Sunni and Mary happily dropped after them.

"April will be our guide for this level!" Vriska announced. "I would do it myself, 8ut I'm anything 8ut imagin8ive."

"I'm making a level, huh? Time to bust out the big paper!" April whipped out a large scroll that unraveled into a very long strip of paper, taking up the whole platform.

"Don't lose your train of thought, April!" Sunni cheered. "We're counting on you!" (Play "Duplicitous Delve" from Yoshi's Woolly World!)

Stage F-11: Land of Thought and Flow

Mission: Find Mew!

Sunni and Mary raced along a forming blue snake path, flowers blooming on either side. The path ended and a swing appeared, Sunni sitting down with Mary on her lap. She kicked off the ground, swung forward, and kicked her legs back and forth, building more momentum. Flowers bloomed alongside her, matching her altitude in a wide "U" shape, and at last, Sunni would release and launch herself and Mary toward nothing. This "nothing" became a mushroom bounce pad, from which the momentum bounced them far across to another, then one more, before they landed on a solid ground.

Smiling bumblebees appeared in this flower field—their stingers extended for brief seconds when they tried to stab the girls. Sunni slashed them with her saber and shot them away with Psycho Spheres. Their path seemed to take place between a thin forming trench, but when Sunni floated them over, a sunflower platform bloomed to catch them. They kept floating and trusted the sunflowers to be their rest pads—a Doomtoon poofed on one and jumped to bite Sunni's leg before she smacked it off. "What's the big idea, April?" she asked to her wristwatch.

"What's a stage without obstacles?"

Sunni notices a hidden path to the left, where a path of flower platforms conveniently spawned as she progressed. They ended before a wide chasm with a faraway ledge. Sunni told Mary to stay back as she jumped and floated. As expected, only one flower pad spawned on that ledge, but Sunni was able to land on it and find a Catch Card on a log on said ledge.

"Think think think… Think think think…" The card contained a yellow bear in a red shirt.

"Whatcha thinking about?"

"I'm thinking of… how much honey can fit inside my two-dimensional tummy…"

"I'd be more worried about your 2-D brain." Sunni put him in her pocket and used a spring to bounce back to Mary. After passing the trench, the duo ran into an open field, which would only keep forming the more they explored. The field had the design of colorful painted flowers, and some spots that appeared would make butterflies flutter out. There were also dancing, smiling sunflowers and colored strips of wind that stroked across the air. Sunni and Mary giggled when a flock of butterflies appeared around Vriska in the sky and fluttered around her.

A hidden snaky path would spawn on one side of the field, leading to a lone platform where more butterflies would take flight. With all butterflies now awoke, they created a spiraling path going up. The creatures withstood the girls' weight surprisingly well, yet were still soft and sunk slightly under their feet. They could rest on a platform (Checkpoint!) and from there, a bunch of Sunni clones seemed to appear in midair beyond the foothold. Some were upside-down, others weren't, and they mimicked Sunni's movements.

"Mary, get on my shoulders. This looks like a tricky puzzle." Mary did so as Sunni floated forward, seeing one of her reflections go under her feet. When Sunni let herself drop, she could stand on her reflection. They essentially had to solve a maze of Sunni reflections, flying to whichever ones were available for standing, while the clones level with her would block her. Each reflection had its own barriers, and at one point, there was a reflection to her left and right. Sunni could Wall Jump off those clones, going down a straight path.

Just like before, Sunni noticed some reflections higher up on the right, so she Wall Jumped up there and followed a secret Wall Jump route, claiming another Catch Card. It contained a black-haired girl with glasses and a yellow shirt named 'R'. "What's the 'R' stand for?"

"R!" she cheered.

"Really? Just R?"

"Yah!"

"Maybe I should be M!" Mary beamed.

"No! That's my dog!" yelled R.

"Okay, enough letters." Sunni put the card away. They continued the previous path and rested on a stable platform. They gasped when a giant blue paintball fell from the sky and rolled around midair, forming a paint path that would be quickly erased by a white-out ball.

"Let's try that again." April said as another paint boulder appeared.

"Sunni, quick!" Mary lifted Sunni's legs up to draw Ice Crayon under her shoes, then her own. They skied along the path to keep up and evade the white-out, then the leading boulder rolled off while a pink one continued. They leapt to the pink path, which went up ramps where they had to jump. After the pink path, a yellow boulder took its turn, bouncing across the air and leaving platforms which the two would have to ski-jump to.

When they skied onto a safe platform- "OOF!" Sunni smashed front-first into a wall that just formed. It had colorful flowers painted as well. "Try this, Sunni." Mary colored white Glue Crayon on their shoes this time. The girls could walk up the wall with sticky feet, with their main hazard being Paint Chu that April conjured. The top of the wall was merely a dead end, the reason being that the intended path was rightward.

From here, they had an amazing unobstructed view of the horizon, and they realized the sky had been growing brighter as though it were sunrise. There were even humongous painted clouds and flowers in the distance as well as markings all around the surface. "Wow… did April really make all this?" Sunni smiled, surprised of the range one person's thoughts can go on this world. The Glue Crayon was about to wear off, but thankfully they were at the end of the wall. They fell onto a large slide that just spawned, watching as a field of flowers materialized around a circular central field. They were so mesmerized by all the pretty colors, Sunni almost missed the Catch Card on their left.

The girl in the card was Beauty, who had pink hair and a giant zipper on her shirt. "Boy, this planet has more colors than a hippy's truck."

"And that joke is older than 4Kids airing Citizen Kane." Sunni remarked. She and Mary landed in the open field, where rested a big white egg in the center. Vriska joined them in approaching the Egg Chamber, Sunni touching the hatch as it flashed open. (End song.)

The area was swallowed by white for a moment. When it vanished, Sunni reopened her eyes and smiled. Mew was curled up inside the egg like a kitty, but he now wore a white cat costume, had pink hair, and a human face. "Yaaaawn… Mew Mew Mew…" He rubbed his tired eyes and stared groggily. "Muu?" He seemed to wake fully at the sight of Sunni.

"Mew!"

"Sunni! Ulp!" Mew clamped his mouth shut. "Holy cow! I can talk! And I don't need telepathy to do it! Beat THAT, Mewtwo!"

"Hehehe! You got that right, Mew!" Sunni clapped hands. "You learned it faster than Meowth!"

"Screw you, I worked hard to learn English!" Meowth shouted. "It was easier learnin' Japanese."

"In that case, you should've taught 4Kids. Wait… What?" Sunni now realized who was speaking.

"Prepare for trouble, we traveled far!" The familiar hot-air balloon was coming in with rockets.

"Make it double, we're too much a charm."

"An evil older than the cosmos!"

"Victory is ours, almost!"

"I've never seen one episode of Pokémon, and yet I recognize them…" Vriska scratched her head.

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all people within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of free-flowing thoughts!"

"To renounce the twerps who think they're the tops!"

"Jessie!"

"James."

"Team Rocket, serving The Thirteen at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now, or prepare for thirteen times the fight!"

"Meeeeowth! That's right!"

"WOBBUFFET!" yelled Mega Wobbuffet. ("Chiiiime…")

"You guys must not remember me." Sunni figured. "Here's a briefing: I'm gonna beat you in seconds. And Mew's with me, so I'm pretty much invincible."

"And I speaks ENGRISH!" Mew cheered.

The agents gasped. "Uh-oh! Well, gang, I guess we lost." Jessie sighed in dismay.

"Yes, I mean what can we do?" James frowned. "Have our new ally fight them?"

"That's exactly what we'll do!" Meowth jumped, and his teammates were instantly back to bright spirits. "Right, Gramps?!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha…" A maniacal cackle rung in the air and rattled their bones. Above them was a cloud of fiery darkness, topped with a tall humanoid shadow with brimming yellow eyes, a dangling dark beard, and what could be mistaken as horns.

Sunni gasped. "It…It's him!"

"Who is he, Sunni?" asked Mary.

"He ruled the world before the dawn of the Seventh Age of KND… He's the son of Malladus Uno. GRANDFATHER!"

Member of The Thirteen's Backup Army

BENEDICT UNO, SR.

"Eh?! My father's name isn't Malladus!" Grandfather shouted. "What snot-nosed kid told you THAT story?"

"This might not 8e the same Grandfather, Sunni!" Vriska informed. "He could 8e the Original Grandfather!" Quickly, she charged a Psycho Sphere and tossed it at the demon.

"Wobbuffet, COUNTER!" Jessie commanded. The Mega Pokémon hopped in the sphere's way and deflected it, causing an explosion that blew the girls apart.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!" Sunni was immediately grabbed by Grandfather, her body flashing green before she had aged 80 years. Her body was green and wrinkled, a foul breath emitting from her zombie mouth.

"Sunni!" Mary cried.

"Raaaaah! Who put this wretched thing on my head?!" Sunni ripped off the Chi Stabilizer—she imagined a thousand dead green hands sprouting from the ground to ensnare the youthful ones, but Vriska expanded a giant Psycho Sphere to protect herself, Mary, and Mew. "MEW! Get inside your Pokéball, you shifty brat!" ordered Sunni, who pierced the bubble easily.

"No, Sunni! I can't when you're like this!"

"Yes you can!" Vriska yanked the Spirit Ball over with psychic and pulsed Sunni away. "As long as she doesn't have it, she can't command you. We have to retreat."

"Aaaagh!" Mary screamed when a dark force began to overwhelm her. "Vriska, Sunni's Psychic Chi is what's keeping me here! If she turned old, then I—!" She flashed green.

"Mary!" To her horror, the painting child became a Citizombie as well. "Mew, let's go!" She grabbed the Firstborn and warped.

Meanwhile, as April was blissfully painting more of the world, she felt a presence behind her. "You can speak anytime." She told him.

"Would I be interrupting you?" Truman Zorc asked with a devilish smirk.

"Of course you are. But staring is rude. An artist doesn't like being interrupted from hard work."

"Oh, do forgive me, but I believe I am about to rain on your parade." Zorc drew a card. "Atomic Shadow Bomb!"

April looked up when a great mass of darkness plummeted from the sky at terrifying speed. Looking around desperately, there was no sight of her friends and the Noah had sailed elsewhere to avoid drawing attention. With that, April used her Keyblade to open her painting and jump inside. Her absence would have caused the stage to disappear instantly, but the Shadow Bomb made impact and swallowed the region in an explosion of black nothing.

Vriska and Mew made it back on the Noah in time to see the expanding dark bubble. "APRIL!"
