Shaded sketch for RJ_Zenith! It's hard enough waiting for a delivery, let alone when you're waiting for REPLACEMENT BIONIC ARMS. How did you even lose those in the first place, dude?
It’s going to be awkward when the delivery person asks them to sign for the package...

MHA 419 leak reactions (real ones this time!)
AFO yells at armless child Izuku in the mind palace. That tracks.
Attacking Tomura’s psychological scars allowed AFO to re-emerge. This also tracks. If heart is power, and a scarred, fractured, walled-off interior allows for AFO’s control, then yeah, Izuku cracking “Tomura’s” armor inadvertently allowed AFO to take over the mind palace.
Oh but AFO just has to get one last jab in against Tomura, so of course he monologues about how Tomura never made a decision for himself in his whole life. Which isn’t ENTIRELY true — AFO couldn’t control young Tenko’s desire to be a hero to Mikkun and Tomo-chan…and to the League of Villains.
We do learn that AFO encouraged Tenko’s conception so he could get his perfect successor, which is just so Enji Todoroki of him.
AFO was close enough to touch baby Tenko (!!!) because he stole candy a quirk from the baby. Then AFO waited years to make Kotaro think Tenko was quirkless before implanting Decay, which is itself engineered from a quirk that could both disintegrate AND reconstruct. Boy does THAT sound like a copy of Overhaul (who was an orphan that AFO was oddly familiar with and knew by name….)
We get both a hero name (Gaen) AND real name for En (Tayutai)! No idea what they mean — Google Translate and Jsho are giving inconsistent answers — but I’m excited to find out when official translations are released!
“Tomura Shigaraki” decays and Izuku is ejected from the mind palace. But AFO doesn’t get his brother back. He says Yoichi is gone. Ruh-roh! He also says Decay and the hatred are gone. And he hears a mysterious echo. Hmm, what could be echoing inside AFO’s mind???
Izuku, now in the real world, tries to stop AFO (who is piloting Shigaraki’s meat suit). But IZUKU DISCOVERS HIS ARMS ARE GONE???? I mean, it’s not shocking bc Horikoshi has hinted at it for forever, but inneresting that either (1) the mind palace and real world ARE entertwined; or (2) AFO took Izuku’s arms as soon as he emerged in the real world. I think it’s the former, which opens the door to some fun shenanigans. I.e., what can the heroes do in the mind palace to harm AFO?
AFO taunts Izuku and says that he “from the start had nothing” … EXCEPT FOR REAL FRIENDS THAT COME TO HIS RESCUE!!!! Sero holds back AFO, proving once again that AFO has a weakness for sticky things like tape and, uh, Mineta’s balls.
Ojiro and Sato are close behind, helping Sero hold off AFO. Of course, Izuku says, “You’re safe” because he doesn’t stop thinking of others even after he lost his actual arms. How did Sero, Ojiro, and Sato get to Mt Fuji so fast?
BECAUSE AIZAWA IS BAAAAAACK!!!
Clearly, something happened with him, Mic, and Kurogiri, and they’re able to use/control Warp Gate. I am hyped and ready for this flashback, please give the Rooftop Trio 2-3 good chapters.
ALSO. Am I the only one curious that Aizawa is in proximity to AFO, and AFO always wanted Erasure? Aizawa has fought multiple Nomu and the entire League at one time or another, but he’s never been near AFO. Then again, Aizawa can’t fight with Erasure himself, so perhaps AFO taking it can get Aizawa into the mind palace……

Here's a little blurb of a work in progress fic I've been working on for a while. It may not be much and I'm sorry but I do hope you'll are interested as I'm close to done with it. I'm always willing to share and answer any curiosities about it.
"Oi' you. Pilot" Hearing the acquainted term given to him head his way, Charles shakes and turns to look at the soldier.  
"Yes?" 
Charles sees the soldier standing above the dolls, recoiled over the uncanny lookalike of Henry. Nothing made sense. 
"What did you ever see in that thing?" 
Charles didn't know what he saw in the thief. 
"I don't know," He was uncertain on how he should feel so he tried to ignore it. The best way he could handle the problem. "He was doing so well… You know with the other assignments we have given him?"
"And where did it bring us, hm?"
With a shallow groan the pilot guiltily shrugs, rubbing his arm, "Nowhere… But you know I was trying to help. To help him. There was actual progress with him. I saw it" 
The incredulity on Rupert told him otherwise as if he was an idiot for believing he held the key. "I thought I would finally be the one to be that change for him. For him to get better, he may have been the silent, aloof type, yes but was kind deep down… To me. A little bit" He argues in a softer tone. 
"He played you as the fool you are. He was just in it for the greedy beneficial gain. You of all people should've known that" Rupert cuts in, where it hurts, immediately it dampens the already sour mood. "So really tell me why are you still defending the guy?" 
"I'm not" 
"You are. I know you were assigned to watch over the guy for months. That you like to do a job well done. But I do think you went a little over your station with him" 
Yes, it was his job, it was his duty assigned to him by the Captain, and the other respected superiors, to keep Henry in check. Maybe the handling of the thief could've been treated better but this was the most important task yet. 
"Henry wasn't as bad as you all say he is… You didn't know him like I did. He. He was a troubled man, made his mistakes, and tried to own up to it. He was getting somewhere" 
Maybe he did get over his head. How can he be alright with a man who made him express doubt and be in a deep, internal conflict with his morals? 
"Do you hear yourself?" Irked beyond belief Rupert grabs the doll by the arm, roughly he tugs it up and off the ground. In the vice grip the rag doll is hanging, its beady button eyes stares onwards in Charles' general direction, lifelessly boring into and through him. Unable to tear his gaze, goosebumps appear on his skin. "Seriously? You do sound like a bloody idiot. You know that, right?" Rupert moves in, throwing vicious insults one after another, as he drags the doll across the sand to him. "He was no good. What did you ever see in him? Do tell me that, at least" He orders, given no room to fight. 
A part wants to retort, defend a man that had freshly betrayed them, him, as well, say that the guy was indeed making progress despite the contrary, and explain this is a very minor slip up, that's all. 
But Charles can't muster to speak his mind, the kind words and a wide, toothy smile won't do him any help here, other then to justifiably corner him as the scared barn mouse he was inside.  
"We failed. You. You have failed your job. So get over it and him. You may have seen him as a 'friend' but he used you. There's nothing more or less about it" 
In an unceremoniously tug, the doll comes to his blurry vision, Charles staggers backward, hearing the faintest sound of seams ripping apart alerting his attention. How the raggedy arm is hung loose in Rupert's hold, threads peaked out, worn out with age. Before long, the seams gave, the doll clunkily plops onto the ground, armless, then a combat boot sat on top of its head. 
"You can't help everyone. He won't change. So you better learn that quickly before it goes ahead and bites you in the ass. Hard" 
With due force, Rupert squeezes the stuffing free from its scratchy burlap casing, undoing the clumsy stitchwork around the mouth and eyes. It laid there, a punching bag for anyone to take out their stress, pleading for a swift escape of the pain and torment seemingly never coming to sweet fruition. 
'This is your fault'

Greetings Clara.
Coworkers have ordered that I participate in Halloween festivities with them. Unusually, they are having Antares make the decision on what to bear the costume of.
Problem?: Difficulty creating ideas. Not often given the role of choosing between options. The sole plan to fall back on is possibly acquiring the Team Rocket gear imitations sold at Spiritomb Halloween and wearing it on top of typical gear, however likely not a very "creative" solution.
Query: What do people often wear on Halloween? What would "fit" Antares in this situation?
Clara seems to be an imaginative type whose skillset fits solving this problem.
- @rocket-researcher-antares
Ok so i love you for asking this first of all, second i would probably do something dramatic if i were you. We're team rocket, elaborate disguises are how we keep brand awareness up and arrests low.
You need something that keeps you as the centre of attention at all times. Whatever you do make sure you do it well. Whenever i get invited (one day) i have a few go to outfits that do the job, death rider, Knight of the unborn flames, pilot of a thousand suns, the armless martyr, etc, etc.
I think something with wings would be perfect for you especially with a nice set of armour. If you don't want to make it hmu and i can (please) haha.

anonymous &&. said... Okokok but like, what if he can't find his arm? Will he go around armless? Do small bits missing build up over time? Like, if he lost a small chunk that's technically too big to be rebuilt, and that happens multiple times. I'm endlessly curious!
Tumblr media
effectively,  yes!  he  can't  regrow  the  missing  limb  —  though  he  can  actually  still  FEEL  it  to  some  degree.  it's  not  unlike  a  bluetooth  connection;  if  there's  a  part  of  him  that's  big  enough  (  again,  let's  use  an  arm  for  the  purposes  of  this  example  )  somewhere  in  the  vicinity,  ren  can  register  basic  sensations  in  it.  he  can't  really move  it,  but  he  can  tell  if  it's  cold  or  hot  or  touching  something  wet  —  as  well  as  maintain  a  general  idea  where  it  is.  it's  mostly  for  the  sake  of  retrieving  any  missing  pieces.  though  again,  this  only  applies  to  the  large  parts  of  his  body  he  can't  regenerate  outright.
as  an  aside,  his  head  is  kind  of  a  weird  case  because  it  can  actually  be  removed  like  any  other  extremity.  ren  doesn't  need  his  head  to  survive  —  the  only  part  of  him  he  truly  needs  to  "live"  is  the  power  source  in  his  upper  chest.  but  his  head  still  does  serve  an  important  purpose  in  the  sense  that  he  needs  it  to  direct  his  actions.  ren  can  walk  around  without  an  arm,  but  he  can't  walk  around  without  a  head.  if  it's  still  within  "bluetooth  range"  he  can  at  least  sluggishly  pilot  his  body  to  retrieve  it  —  but  if  you  take  it  far  enough  away,  it  becomes  harder  and  harder  to  maintain  a  connection  with  the  rest  of  him  until  he  just ...  can't  anymore.  he  doesn't  lose  consciousness,  mind  you.  he  just  can't  move.  at  all.
and  yes!  if  he  loses  pieces  too  big  to  be  regenerated,  the  losses  can  build  up  over  time.  but  it's  less  like  losing  a  finger  here  and  there  and  more  like  losing  an  entire  hand  —  they  need  to  be  fairly  large  parts  of  his  body  for  ren  to  be  unable  to  grow  them  back.  the  complexity  of  what  he's  lost  is  also  a  factor  in  whether  he  can  regenerate  it.  he  can  regrow  skin  or  muscle  far  easier  than  he  can  something  with  more  elements  to  it.

Alright I'm sorry if this question is dumb but what happened to the league of villains after the war? Is compress in jail, what happened to toga or tomura, I know twice is dead and hawks is out of commission but some much happened and I. You know?
So manga spoilers
Compress: Unknown, likely not in jail as I want to say he was seen when the Villains fall for the trap the Heroes set in the recent chapters. At the end of the war he pulls of an escape with the rest of the League at the cost of an arm.
Dabi: Currently fighting Shouto and is going to reveal his backstory in its entirety soon.
Toga: Currently fighting Uraraka and Tsuyu
Tomura: Currently still being possessed and piloted by AfO, though AfO's influence isn't absolute. His power is also through the roof and he can summon a fuckton of hands now thanks to AfO's many Quirks
Twice: Still dead. RIP my love.
Hawks: On the scene fighting alongside the other Pros in the battle against the many Villains and AfO.
Kurogiri: Still in custody. Monoma has copied his Quirk and is acting as the Hero's main teleporter, and I'm so glad Monoma gets to be relevant again. Thanks Hori very cool 😎
ReDestro: Pounding my pussy in his new office. Jkjk I don't know where he and the rest of the PLF are.
Overhaul: No idea, he kinda dropped off the face of the earth. I'm assuming Deku took him to see Pops and we may get a flashback about that. Still likely armless and mindbroken.
Nagant: Was blown up but not killed because Hori received my many letters begging him not to kill her even if her character and arc were half-baked as fuck. Likely in a hospital or something and being healed by Recovery Girl.

Hello, let me introduce you to forever changing narutoverse~
Did you know that naruto series doesn't have a stable continuity?
Kishimoto just Like Akira Toriyama made arcs on the spot. The first time Naruto was only to last till bell arc and was extended afterwards. This created lots of retcons and plotholes as the series continued.
Let compare longlines of the pilot and the first chapter of Naruto manga.
Do you see the difference?
"But this is a pilot" you might say "A lot of manga's stray from their pilots"
And that is true, however it gives us valuable information that there actually weren't bijuu but main one the Ninetails.
At the start of the series excluding the pilot, there were no Juubi that split into nine tailed beasts
Shukaku didn't recognize Kurama or that Naruto was the host of him. They were total strangers during the Gaara fight.
Did you know that the first time edo tensei was used in the series the bodies could regenerate themselves?
So The 4th Hokage running around armless was a change they made only in Shippuden for reasons unknown.
Speaking of 4th Hokage at the early Naruto series his name wasn't Minato Namikaze but on the summoning scroll he was first named as Uzumaki Arashi?
These are not the only changes and retcons scattered around the series.
So backing up to the question you've asked do you know when was this introduced to the series?
That's right in THE LAST movie. Right after the original series ended.
It was made so that Hinata would be his first love. And in this canon movie and Boruto series after she probably was, as they've changed 2 more major aspects of the previous Naruto.
First one being kagebunshin no jutsu.
The regular bunshin to pass the academy required this hand seal. However in the Last Naruto already new the forbidden technique hand seal which he shouldn't have learnt as he haven't stolen the forbidden scroll yet.
Meaning the past of this Naruto was changed and we don't know if he actually stole the scroll much earlier in the series or he learned it from somewhere else.
Another major thing that deviates from the old Naruto series is that this Naruto doesn't understand people love vs object love.
While in the OG Naruto the 2 out 3 major fights was literally about Naruto finding people important to his life so he wouldn't be alone.
It's strange that the Borutoverse decided to disregard this, as Hinata was devoted to Naruto even from a distance and gave her life because of it so OG Naruto did understand her feelings. But it probably is much easier to go "he's a dummy that's why he didn't respond for so long :v" then "he might have not considered or felt the same at that moment"
He longed for love, so it was easy for him to resonate with people who seeked it as well.
This is the reason why canon naruto is a multiverse branching out into different directions. Everything here is canon but not much is consistent.?
It's complete bs and whoever wrote this clearly didn't read Naruto properly. The part with Shukaku makes sense as the manga Naruto transformed into a normal fox not the nine tails in the manga that was a change the anime made and is not canon. Second only the jinchuuriki transformation can be considered somewhat reconed, but in part 1 we only had 2 tailed beast shown so it is more of the case of Shukaku being the odd one out rather then Kishimoto retconned.
Tumblr media
The reanimation not regeneration was specifically stated to be due to the truth seeking orbs which negate ninjutsu. This fact wasn't discovered at first as they were using clones, but it is right there in the manga.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for the name on the scroll Kishimoto just wrote down random names meant to be illegible and not an official statement to what the fourth hoakge's name was. In fact I have only seen western fans point the name out, none of the Japanese fan base has mentioned it nor is there a statement from Kishimoto about and for good reason as it was somthing made up by western fans.
The scroll doesn't even say Uzumaki (うずまき) in the second column, it was only fans only western fans that claimed that. You can clearly tell the difference between Naruto who spelt his full name and compare it with the second column you would find the characters for Uzumaki aren't there.
The characters for Arashi are アラシ or 嵐, neither of which if you look closely match what is on the scroll.
Namikaze Minato 波風ミナト If you look at the characters for Minato's name you would notice that Namikaze has the same kanji that Arashi is spelt with.
So not only does it not say Uzumaki were Minato's name should be, but the characters for the name people claim closely match the characters that appear in Minato's name.
So yeah the fan name people use is completely made up.
Tumblr media
nThe last never retconned anything, the only thing they can was, would be the starting bit, but even then that would be more of an animation error as they used shadow clones instead of regular clones. Naruto's signature jutsu is shadow clones so the one doing that scene getting confused with the normal clone jutsu is no surprise. Sakura was never canonically called Naruto's first love either, it only said he liked Sakura, but never once stated he actually loved her. Also the manga confirms what the last said about him competing with Sasuke as in the manga Naruto only ever brought up asking Sakura out when Sasuke is involved or about to show up.
Naruto never understood love though cause he never had anyone love him like that, he had friendship with team 7 and slight family love, but keep in mind it was one sided on Naruto's end a lot at first. Naruto never actually brings up love in the fights he mentioned it mostly goes on about being freed from his loneliness and not love. The most important people Naruto had at the times of the mentioned fights were his friends and considering Naruto started out with nothing his bar for friends and family are set drastically low. It wasn't just love that Naruto sought, but it was acknowledgement which is what he goes on about when he beat Gaara that he found people that acknowledged him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
See even Naruto outright states the reason why his friends are important to him is cause they acknowledged his existence. He never once mentioned love, but acknowledgement and being saved from loneliness are the key parts of his speech.

honeymoon masterlist
word count: 2631
music: air catcher by twenty one pilots
The tiniest part of you wanted to go to Columbus, because you loved that place. But the bigger part, the one that connected your brain to your hands clutching the wheel, told you if you fail, you’ll have all the time in the world to go back to Columbus. To wherever the fuck you want. Kai said he can operate practically any type of transport, but doesn’t like ships. Flying was fine with you as long as he really knew not to crash a plane. You had to constantly remind yourself that he had many years to learn everything.
As you drove, you were revising the CDs Kai found in the car. He was putting the disk in and pressing play, or sometimes he just read the names of the bands. He opened the window and threw away all the CDs that were named trash. Now that you two were misplacing them, they were supposed to stay there on the road after Kai sent them out of the window, you were asking. Right? But, crashing on the ground, they were damaged, so did it fall under the order part of the spell? Were they to return into the car after you deliberately got rid of them? 
“You’ll know tomorrow”, Kai replied playfully. Surely he knew how that works, but it seemed he was unwilling to just tell you everything about this prison, and wanted you to discover things for yourself. 
Dayton was empty, too. Just like Roanoke and Huntington on the way through. You found this stillness somewhat soothing. You didn’t like gatherings and crowds, didn’t like noise and people. You decided to dive back into the three foot world, and just enjoy the empty roads for once, and start worrying when the realization of utter loneliness settles in.
You looked on your right, where Parker was sitting, staring at the cover of “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” by a-ha (do not throw them away under any circumstances!) in his hands, with one brow raised, belt across his chest. You still felt like you were alone here although he was next to you. He still didn’t feel like a human person - more like a part of this world. As inanimate. He was remarkably quiet, and you knew it wasn’t for good. 
On the Germantown Street, you stopped the car, feeling tired. The sun was about to set down completely, the May angle leading it onto your left. You got out and stretched, and Kai stepped out of the car a minute later.
“Where will we sleep? Any good hotels?”
He shrugged.
“I haven’t been in Dayton”.
“You haven’t been to Dayton?” you repeated.
“That’s what I said”.
“Ever?”
“Ever”. 
He looked around and stared at the sky again. Parker has been glitching like that since last night, when he stared up as if trying to cope. You looked at his upturned nose and his youthful face, thinking, he is in his forties. This dude is going to be fifty years old soon, and he is a nut case, and I have him on my hands.
He looked back at you.
“Adventure begins here”, his tone was half-questioning, and he smiled. The way it curled his capricious mouth, his eyes glowing, told you he didn’t really believe in getting out. You’ve only spent here a day, but he gave up already. He knew there was no getting out, and he just took it as a long journey, to keep his girlfriend sane. You had no idea where he thought he was going. 
You walked back to the car and took your bag and the phone. Kai’s eyes wouldn’t leave you.
“You’re changing the car again?”
“Uh-huh. Why not? It’s not like someone’s going to report them all?”
He smiled again. 
You walked down the street, ghostly and quiet. No stray dogs, no garbage being thrown around by the wind - but that’s likely due to Dayton being very clean. Kai wouldn’t bother taking the bag out of your hands, walking with his head turning right and left. You felt like in a museum, observing the 90s’ fashionable displays and stores. The eerie sight of clothes you had a habit of associating with your mother’s youth, and the lighthearted, distant, happy past years, the square thick screens and simpler times, were now a reality for you. You could reach and touch that sky-blue blouse on a slim mannequin, wearing posh plastic necklace, a picture from an aesthetic lookbook for inspiration. Aesthetic and nostalgia, that’s what the nineties were to you, but now they were here, brought right upon you, by magic, and they were very real. 
You slowed down in front of one of the windows of the Dayton Mall, a low, nice-looking white and green store, and looked at the leather jacket displayed.
The bag dropped on the ground as the understanding slowly creeped into your mind. Kai was standing few steps away from you, with his head cocked, watching you yet again. He seemed like a tour guide, a museum security guy who was more concerned about whether you enjoy this experience rather than keeping it all intact.
“I can do whatever I want”, you said slowly. 
“Absolutely everything. There’s nobody to stop me”.
“Don’t headbutt the glass”, Parker warned you, and there was this note in his voice that told you he’s talking from personal experience.
You took off your hoodie, the evening air a bit cool for only a tank top. You wrapped your hoodie around your hand and swung it, breaking the display.
The glass shattered loudly, pieces of it falling to your feet with ringing. Interesting, you thought, you get here, into this world of opportunity which poses as prison, and the first thing you do is vandalize.
The jacket wasn’t even that cool, so you didn’t aim for it. You looked down the street full of windows, and you could feel your blood boil. There was something inside of you, trying to get out, like the fuse that suddenly got lit. Everybody has it. Anybody would do it. You turned back to look at him - no need to mention his name, there is nobody else but this guy - and he grinned half-invisibly. It was a grin of indulgence, a hidden smile that lit his face when he did something bad: you recognized it from last week, when he said he’d kidnapped Elena on the first week after he got out of prison. It was the smirk that bloomed on his face as he spoke about how he gutted his own mother, and god save you, it was the same smile he had after you opened your eyes and still had a taste of his mouth in yours. 
You ran along the Germantown Street with the red pipe wrench you fished out of a car you found in the street. It was heavy in your hands as you swung it, crashing it into the glass, bothering the headless and armless mannequins, startled and falling down, creating the mess on their places. The glass was cutting your hands, flying in all directions, spitting sharp shrapnel like rain. With each broken window, your shoulder ached more and your head ached less, and you felt less like crying. Maybe there was a wake among that act of desctruction, but you missed it amongst the wild excitement of complete permissiveness. Parker walked after you, smiling quietly, as you raged around him, carrying the bag, and looked around. Finally, when you got tired, he sat on the asphalt next to you and looked at your hands.
“You’ve tapped one percent of what you can do here”. 
His sly hand took your palm, and your skin stung a little. It wasn’t as bad as that burn yesterday. You watched your own hands not believing pain could live longer than physical manifestation of it. Kai’s fingers wrapped around the cuts tightly, making you sigh sharply. He was so full of magic now, fresh prince of everything, that it radiated out of him. You could swear you felt it coming from his hand to yours. The cuts started sucking on themselves, and the ache stayed deep inside slender bones, phantom. 
“Another”.
“You shouldn’t waste your magic. Who knows how long we’re going to stay here”.
Kai gave you a meaningful look.
“Well, we decided we’d find a way, right? So, I’m doing it soon”.
“You know you’re lying. You’re only going to Oregon because I asked you”.
“See how nice I am?”
Your palm snaked out of his hand as soon as he healed you. 
“That’s what I don’t like about it”.
Parker eyed you down.
“You’re really hard to please, aren’t you?”
“I’m a bit grumpy cause I’m stuck here with you”.
“I have told you before, I never asked you to”.
You didn’t really have the energy to fight now. You wondered how you’re going to cope with his breakdowns in the future - and they’re bound to happen from time to time. Maybe become just like him, emotionally volatile. Seems easy enough. So far, everything here has been too easy, and you were waiting for the other shoe to drop. 
Darkness fell on Dayton, and there was intense white glow somewhere beyond a row of buildings in Madden Hill.
“There it goes. I think it’s a cool hotel. You should go to sleep, you have a long drive tomorrow”.
He got up and offered you a hand.
“It’s weird you’re not driving”, you noticed.
“I don’t like driving”.
You stood up without his help and he frowned again, like he was noticing every little thing crossing your mind. 
“How is that? I thought you liked being in control”.
“I am. I’m making you drive me everywhere”.
You sniffed.
“I do it because I like driving”.
“Then it’s a win-win, right?”
He patted you on the back and removed his hand as if afraid you’d bite. 
Tumblr media
You walked on towards the glow, crossing lit and dark streets. Here the lightning is automatic, and here is not, Kai was commenting. He was commenting on everything which indicated he was in a good mood. 
“That’s the best ‘94 can do?” you inquired, looking at the tall rectangle building. 
“It’s a Hilton”, he noticed.
“It’s an ugly ass hotel”, you grumbled. Kai snickered and followed you inside.
“Are you hungry? I’m hungry”.
Parker knew his way around everything. He knew where the kitchen was, and, while you were coming up choosing a room, he went on raiding the huge space filled with food.
He was devilishly good with it, too. 
That evening, after you’ve eaten, you went strolling around the place and found out one more thing: you didn’t like being without him while you knew he was around. 
Empty space that was supposed to be filled with people creeped out your unprepared mind. The stairs sounded hollow, and you expected somebody to jump out of the long, empty corridors. In the windows of the hotel, there shone an empty city, lit for nobody. Shadows and silhouettes were floating around in the dark sky. You decided not to butcher every thing that came into your way and fought the desire to break the window to look outside. What will become of you if you use the foot and fist method for everything just because there’s no one to stop you? Kai wouldn’t mentor you. He’s more of a devil on the left shoulder than the voice of reason. He will definitely be willing to spoil you until you’re flexible material he can use.
You now had a great opportunity to reflect on all that, Parker included, and decide on your course of action, separate yourself from your cell mate. But instead of staying away to think you found yourself drawn to the place where he was, because the empty ugly Hilton was scary. 
You returned into the room and found him, sitting on the floor of the big top floor suite, with the little bedside light next to him, crouched over something. Walking closer, you found it was the charger from your phone, and something remotely resembling a part of a boombox. One of the loud speakers from it was torn out, and laid at his hand, and you couldn’t understand a single thing he was doing.
“What is it?”
“I’m making you a portable speaker, like one of those bluetooth things kids have”, he said shortly. 
You looked down on him, a little surprised, because he’s never acknowledged his own age or the era he’s lived in before. Preoccupied, he looked very smart, and completely normal. He even rolled up the sleeves of his hoodie.
“How?”
“See this thing? It’s from that player”, he motioned his hand towards a player lying afar on the floor. Looked like he’d kicked it away with force.
“I’ll adjust the wire so that it can see your iPhone, and voila”.
“But I need the charger”.
“It’s gonna work”, he nodded.
“Are you sure? Kai, I can’t lose my phone!”
He sighed, and looked up at you.
“Did I mentioned I studied at MIT?”
“No. You know there’s been a shooting?”
You didn’t know why you mentioned it immediately.
“Wasn’t me”.
“Clever motherfucker”.
Kai shifted as if you touched him. He looked at you as you walked away. Coming close to the bed, you felt you were almost collapsing with exhaustion even though you didn’t do much.
Just before you fell asleep, you looked at the time on an electronic clock next to bed. It was almost midnight.
You woke up as if someone hit you. The silence was pressing on your ears, pressing your head, and moreover you didn’t know where you were. Without opening your eyes, you tried to remember the place and what happened. The darkness was blue and black, and it was so warm you tried to pull the covers off of yourself, and failed.
Kai moaned, displeased, right behind your ear, and you realized his arm was wrapped around you, and that’s why you felt like you were lying in a cacoon. 
You rolled halfway, not without a struggle, and saw his face very close.
“Kai, what about personal space?”
His body was so close you could feel the heat coming off of him. Of course, he’s one of those boys who turn into stoves when they sleep. Somehow his body just did that, so that you didn’t really know what he was unhappy about. You were scared of how well your shape adjusted to his, and you were lying comfortably in such a position that you usually get when you wake up in the morning. Even if bed seemed uncomfortable last night, in the morning you don’t want to move an inch, and the pillow seems perfectly soft. 
Still, you could feel his invasive mass, almost pushing you off that king sized bed, cornering you to the edge, like he was trying to scope you and win over the bed at the same time. You felt for his hand against your ribs and found he formed a fist, clutching the fabric of your shirt, like you were about to roll away.
“What personal space?” he murmured. 
Fair enough. In this world, that was all yours and nobody else’s, this crowdless, lifeless planet, thounsands and thousands of miles of nobody’s land, in this spacious cursed desert, there was not space enough for the two of you to move separately. You had felt it while wandering around the hotel, when you decided to run back to where he was just to see another human next to you, to make sure you’re not alone. This prison was as claustrophobia igniting as it was hollow. There was no personal space here.

History lesson: The fake Sonic Boom TV show leak from 2014
Tumblr media
The Sonic franchise is no stranger to both real and fake leaks, I can tell that from the journet to the film alone! But over the years there have been several fake leaks going around, and this has to be one of the most insane ones.
The year is 2014, Sega was working on big reboot to their flagship franchise, which would include a big game and a TV show alongside it. Fans didn’t have much to go off besides this one image teasing the characters’ redesigns (which was obviously memed to death)...that is until they got a statement from a supposed storyboard artist working on the show.
I was unable to find the original 4-Chan thread, but I did find all the information, so we’re going to go over this trainwreck of a rumor together.
The premise of the show is simple yet strange, Sonic and friends have to battle Eggman through different locations and time periods to keep him from rewriting history. The heroes come from a good future (which serves as the show’s hub world) while the villains come from a bad one.
MAIN CHARACTERS
Sonic himself isn’t too different, still a cool super-fast dork who loves chili dogs. He has a Marty McFly inspired design with a hover board for water and everything. Oh and he uses a night light, which is pretty cute.
Tails is still the genius engineer and pilot. He’s not a fan of adventuring but will begrudgingly join in whenever he’s needed. Wears lab equipment all the time and plays the bagpipes for….some reason.
Amy is a sports captain, perfect student, and Sonic’s self-proclaimed girlfriend. She’s the daughter of a rich car magnate and is still a part of the group. Wears a retro inspired outfit and lacks her iconic Piko Piko hammer.
Knuckles is described as mellow and spiritual unless you manage to tick him off. He’s still the guardian of the Master Emerald and the main time portal, just not a great one due to how trusting and gullible he is. Wears bandages on his knuckles and….skinny jeans?
VILLAINS
Dr. Eggman is described as a “sort of fat, bald Carmen Sandiego” as he’s constantly travelling through time to steal precious ancient artifacts. His lair in his theme park, Eggmanland, and besides world domination he dreams with becoming the ringmaster at a circus. Wears a retro inspired outfit and has Modern Eggman proportions, just way taller with long lanky limbs. Also, instead of Orbot and Cubot, he has Rouge and Shadow as his bumbling henchmen.
Rouge is the brains of the operation but will alter the plans if it means she can steal something for herself. Wears a pink tube top with purple sweatpants and has blue wings.
Shadow is the muscle, almost as strong as Sonic, however, he’s pretty lazy and always chooses to give the least effort possible. He wears an open red Hawaiian flower print shirt and sunglasses. (HAWAIIAN SHADOW!)
Evil Sonic (you read that right) comes from Eggman’s bad future, he hates his counterpart with a passion and will come up with schemes to destroy him and his reputation, occasionally working alongside the doctor if their goals intertwine. Wears the same as Sonic but with inverted colors and his fur is a slightly darker shade of blue.
OTHERS
Blaze is a princess from a foreign land and is currently living in Amy’s mansion as an exchange student. Is very shy and awkward, while she’s not sure what to make of Sonic’s adventures she finds them more interesting than her normal life. She still has fire controlling powers and always keeps an oil lantern with her. Wears a purple scarf and fluffy ushanka, a long sleeve shirt with armless vest over the top, a purple skirt and high heel shoes.
Metal Sonic was Eggman’s weapon until he was reprogrammed and given free will by Tails. He acts sort of like an anti-hero and rival to Sonic, who he tries to best at everything, from racing to saving people to burping contests (???)
Silver is interesting, he starts as Sonic’s bratty neighbor who’s always trying to become a part of the group. One day, after he successfully pesters Sonic into taking him on an adventure, Silver betrays him to gain ancient psychic powers and becomes a villain. He’s basically a bully that wants revenge on Sonic for humiliating him. Wears a black belt with a golden buckle and matching boots, he’s described as “very large and fat” and is constantly eating, aparently.
Finally there’s Team Chaotix, which consists of Vector, Espio and Fang. They are a group of not so bad criminals who are usually contracted by Eggman.
Vector is the leader, pretends to be a tough guy but secretly wants to be a dancer. Always broke and owing money. Wears a leather jacket with a gold chain necklace (just like how he appears in the show, strangely enough)
Espio is a ninja who travelled from the past and was saved by Vector, he joined the team as a way to pay this life debt. He’s not fond of criminal activity but goes along with it making sure no one gets hurt. Is amazed by modern technology. Only wears gloves and boots.
Fang is the most rotten of the group, quick to betray when things go sour and is only kept around because he’s good at what he does. Wears a wide brim hat, a bandana over his mouth, a brown belt and has spurs on his shoes.
This Sonic Boom is described as a children’s comedy first, action show second. Contains things like an overarching plot and pretty tame gross out humor.
So what do you think about this fake TV show? Would you watch it if it actually existed? Personally there are many things I’m not fond off, like Silver’s portrayal, but there are some gems like the Chaotix (which repurposes Fang the Sniper) and, of course, our lord and savior Hawaiian Shadow.

Goodbye Kiss
This continues my series of missed moments from the Star Wars comics that you can find here for this story I recommend reading the others first because now I’m starting to get into a bit of a running storyline. 
@otterandterrier​ continues to be a great beta and source of support and inspiration ❤️
After Vader Down which is Darth Vader (2015) #13-15 and Star Wars (2015) #13-14. The gist of the story is that Vader crash lands near a rebel base. Luke is lost in the area. Han is going after Luke and is frustrated that Leia cares so much more about killing Vader than she does about saving Luke. They apprehend Dr. Aphra (a dangerous associate of Vaders) and take her prisoner. 
Tumblr media
“Are you gonna tell us where these coordinates lead or is this another fun surprise?” Han asked Leia as they entered hyperspace. 
“Just going to meet up with the fleet, Han. I need to talk to Sana about another mission, she should be cleared or nearly cleared by the time we get back.”
“Sana?!” Han swiveled to look at her but she wouldn’t meet his eyes. It had been like that for a couple weeks, ever since their short but very passionate kiss aboard the Falcon. At first Leia had avoided him like the plague and he’d let her get away with it for the first few days, but it had become tiring. He wanted to see her, even if it meant fighting. 
And they did fight then, a lot. In just a couple weeks, people knew enough to turn tail if the two of them were seen in deep conversation because they knew an explosion was coming. 
“I’m going to have her help me transport Aphra to prison.” 
Luke got up from his seat slowly, not wanting to become a target in the coming argument, and took the armless Threepio with him. 
“Why would you want Sana for that? Or even trust her for that? I’ll take you.” Han pronounced the last part as if he was giving an order and Leia’s head snapped up. 
“I am giving Sana this job for your sake, Han. To pay off your debt. If I didn’t hire her for—” 
“My debt?! Are you kidding me! Sana has stolen from me plenty of times, over the years it’s evened out. She’ll get over it.”
“I also think she could be useful to the cause.”
Han snorted and gently hit a silent Chewie on the shoulder as if to say, Isn’t she crazy?, Chewie, refusing to be dragged in, remained silent in his work. 
“Listen, sweetheart, Sana is not going to be helpful to the cause. She doesn’t believe in anything or care for anyone.”
“Just like you, right? These are the kind of speeches I’m used to hearing you spout off about yourself, but now it sounds like you're worried.”
Han stood up sharply to refute her but she spoke first. “It’s nice to know you care, Han, but I think I can handle myself.”
“I never said I cared, just don’t come cryin’ to me when she stabs you in the back!”
“Fine, I won’t.”
“Good.” 
“Yes.” Leia stomped out of the cabin before Han could think of another last word. 
He slumped down in the pilots’ seat and shook his head. 
”The two of you should talk about what’s really going on.” 
“Oh well, if it’s that easy…” Han didn’t have enough energy to throw the sarcasm behind that comment like he wanted to and instead, he sighed. 
“She’s right, kissing her was a mistake.”
Chewbacca shrugged. “Do you really believe that, Cub?”
Han just covered his eyes and slumped into his seat. She’d be the death of him. 
***
Han and Luke, both in a mood, sat in the mess hall next to the other Rogues who chatted on, despite their companions' dour demeanor. Luke was still struggling with leaving Vrogas Vas, and any potential info about the old Jedi Order, behind. Meanwhile Han was still irritated at Leia for her perceived apathy toward Luke and the rest of the troops in favor of catching Vader, as well as her insistence on having Sana escort her to the Sunspot prison. 
“Why are you so mad at Leia today?” Luke asked and all the pilots turned to hear the answer. 
Han, startled out of his thoughts, glowered at them, “Who says I’m mad at Her Adoredness? In fact, she’s the one who seems mad at me!” 
Luke rolled his eyes. “Whatever Han.”
“No! You know what? She left us all alone out there on Vrogas Vas so she could go all commando on her own little private mission to kill Vader. She cared more about trying to take him out than saving your ass and didn’t give a kriff how many soldiers died along the way!”
Luke’s expression turned sour in a way no one was used to seeing on him. 
“Don’t talk about Leia that way! You think she doesn’t know the name and rank of every person who died trying to get Vader? I made it out fine, and in the end she did save our asses! I don’t know what the hell has gotten into the two of you lately but stop trying to drag everyone else into it!” 
With that, Luke stood up and stalked away, presumably toward his bunk. 
Wedge looked after him, concerned, and Han waved his hand as if it was no big deal. 
“He had to leave a bunch of Jedi stuff on Vrogas Vas.”
Dubious, Wedge looked at Han and shook his head. “Maybe, but he’s got a point. You and Princess Leia are difficult to be around these days, it’s unpleasant for everyone. Some time apart will be good for you guys.”
He looked back at the exit to the mess hall and got up. “I’m gonna check on him.”
Wedge took a few steps before turning around. 
“And Han, take it easy on Leia. She has enough guilt without you adding this on top of it.”
Han just waved the pilot away and grumbled into his drink. She’d be leaving in a couple hours and the thought of it caused a strange squeeze in his chest. Maybe he could try to make it right before she left. 
***
“I hear you two are shipping off.” Leia nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of Han’s voice. He leaned against the door to the Volt Cobra’s secondary hold, looking at her like she was the entire galaxy. His posture was casually practiced, and even though she wanted to be mad at him for startling her and for the way he was looking at her, he looked good enough to make her heart—and other places—flutter. 
When her gaze reached his grinning lips, she felt her face go warm. Damn Han Solo and his gorgeous lips. 
“What can I do for you, Han?” Leia asked, trying to sound cold. 
“Nothing, Your Highness, I just wanted to see you before you left.”
The way he said ‘I just wanted to see you’ sent a shiver up her spine but she kept on a mask of indifference. 
“Well, now you’ve seen me. You can either help us load up supplies or you can leave,” Leia said as she pretended to remember what she’d been doing before he arrived. 
“I wanted to talk to you, Leia.” 
She turned around to look at him to find he’d moved closer, looking sincere. 
“About what?” Leia felt proud of herself for keeping the tremor from her voice. He was close enough that she could smell the engine grease on him and feel the heat from his body. 
“You know exactly what about.” He moved in closer but she refused to back away, maybe didn’t want to, “That kiss.”
“I’d rather forget about that.” 
“Really? You scared?” His grin mocked her and she scowled at him.
“Of course not.”
“Then kiss me again—kiss goodbye, considering you’re going away with a treacherous smuggler to drop off a deranged prisoner at a secret prison filled with the most dangerous criminals the Alliance has to offer.”
“In your dreams.”
“Yeah, every night for two weeks.” He said it so fast and with so much sincerity, it caught Leia off guard.
Slowly, he moved his hand up to stroke her cheek. “Just be careful Princess.”
Leia nodded and neither of them moved. 
Finally, after an eternity Leia—against her better judgement—leaned forward and kissed him gently. It set her insides on fire and she grabbed hold of his vest just to stay up. His hands held her elbows, supporting her, but she could feel the same tremble running through him.
She’d lied to Han; she was scared—terrified. 
The kiss was shorter than the last and much more tame, yet somehow it touched Leia just as much. 
“See, nothing to be afraid of,” Han whispered, sounding frightened himself. 
When Leia started to open her mouth, he shook his head, “We’ll talk about it when you get back. Have a good trip, Your Highness.”
He gave her a lingering peck and corrected himself, “Leia.”

THE YEAR IS 2020 AND I WATCHED NEON GENESIS EVANGELION FOR THE FIRST TIME, PART 7
Episode 19.
Shinji's tortured screaming from the end of last episode isn't carried over into the beginning of this episode and I mistakenly think this means things will improve. I am wrong.
Rest of Episode 19 behind the cut.
Shinji is holding himself/his EVA hostage after being utterly betrayed by NERV and his shitty father in the last episode and seems to be threatening to blow himself, the giant robot, and NERV up. Everyone at NERV (except his father, because his father will never explain, justify, or apologize because he is the worst) tries to reason with Shinji about how lying to him and nearly killing Tohji was necessary and yes he may feel betrayed but no one cares about his feelings.
I feel like an apology or active listening would go a long way to making Shinji not want to blow himself and everyone up but instead they just keep justifying their actions and Commander Ikari has the EVA plug flooded with orange stuff and Shinji passes out from lack of oxygen.
Oxygen deprivation: NERV approved parenting technique.
They have to cut open the EVA to get Shinji out and then he and Tohji are both at the hospital because they are nearly dead. No one appears to come and visit Shinji this time, although Asuka and Rei hang out in the smoking hallway in the hospital and Asuka is pretty sure that's the last they'll see of Shinji.
Tohji has a flashback to eavesdropping on a conversation on the train between Rei and Shinji where Rei tried to convince Shinji to do all the emotional labour in his relationship with his father. He also gets an actual visit from the girl who doesn't pilot an EVA. They are awkward at each other about teenage romantic feelings that they can't express and also Tohji wants her to tell his little hospitalized sister that he totally wasn't nearly killed in a giant robot by a different giant robot. Will they show up after this episode? Shrug!
Discharged from the hospital before Tohji, Shinji is /escorted from his cell/ in /three sets of handcuffs/ to have a meeting with his father about his crimes of not wanting to kill Tohji in a long ominous red chamber. Shinji is fourteen.
Shinji tells his father he does not want to pilot the EVA again. Commander Ikari takes the 'you can't quit I'm firing you' approach both as a military commander and a father, straight up telling Shinji they won't see be seeing each other again. Cool dadding, very quality.
If he's no longer piloting the EVA, nothing else in Shinji's life as we've seen it will continue either. So, no more school, no more living with Misato, no more living in Tokyo 3 in general? I guess he's being sent back to wherever he was living before NERV had use for him? Don't worry, he gets a call from the glasses nerd that's basically SHINJI HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT TO PILOT THE ROBOT ANYMORE YOU SUCK I WISH I COULD PILOT A GIANT ROBOT I LOOKED UP TO YOU AND YOUR GIANT ROBOT and then the call gets cut due to military censorship I guess? Misato goes to see Shinji off and they take a moment to talk about how Shinji is such a loser that Asuka doesn't want to even see his face to say bye, but Shinji is reassured by this thing remaining constant. Misato continues to try and fail at being a parental figure for Shinji. she recognizes that it's important to make decisions for yourself and not because of what will make other people happy and this is the first time Shinji's been assertive about something but she really wishes Shinji would consider how they all want him to get in the robot and do what his father says. You can't have it both ways, Misato! LET THE CHILD SET BOUNDARIES.
Of course, as Shinji's on his way to living a normal life without his shitty father and giant robots, the emergency siren goes. Shinji realizes that this is not his problem and goes to evacuate with other, totally normal non-EVA pilot residents. Again, don't worry, he hears plenty of voices in his head the entire time telling him how terrible he is and what a failure coward he is!
Meanwhile, at NERV, they only have two teenagers to respond to the latest angel attack and one of those has an EVA that is down one arm. Asuka's sent out first while they decide to put Rei in Shinji's EVA (I guess cutting Shinji out was less damaging than the arm melting). It's a cute angel this time, like a rounded toddler's toy with stubby limbs and paper streamers it can shoot out that cut everything forever. Asuka takes her usual approach of giant guns for giant robots, even though it appears immune to gun. Maybe it's an issue of not using the right gun? She goes through a lot of guns and then the angel rips both her arms off. Asuka is determined to defeat it, though, all the moreso because Shinji is gone. So, armless, she rushes the angel and headbutts it. The angel cuts off the head of Asuka's EVA and that's ... a bad time.
Meanwhile, in Shinji's EVA, Rei is failing to synch with it and getting rejected. She can no longer pilot THIS giant robot. So ... one-armed prototype it is!
The severed head of Asuka's EVA crashes through the evacuation shelter right in front of Shinji in case he didn't already feel terrible about NOT WANTING TO PILOT A MURDER ROBOT FOR LIARS WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT HIM.
Rei in her one-armed EVA just takes a giant bomb and does a suicide run at the angel because she recognizes that she is replaceable in the eyes of NERV and Commander Ikari. The angel closes the boss vulnerability hole on its torso before Rei can jam the bomb in there. Things also go bad for Rei but it's less limbs being pulled off and more the strange skeletal outline of bits of a giant robot after the bomb goes off.
Shinji with the evacuated residents is now outside of city limits and guys? FUCKIN' KAJI IS THERE WATERING A GARDEN. Fuckin' Kaji is there to go oh hey Shinji shouldn't you be in the giant robot? If I was someone who could actually do something in this scenario instead of being me, fuckin' Kaji, I'd definitely probably do that, but for reasons I don't even get to be at NERV these days.
The thing is, in this episode no one has empathy for Shinji.  Of course they want him to get in the giant robot and fight the angel, but even previously sympathetic/empathetic figures are dropping the ball and not showing him the consideration of earlier episodes. Shinji has been very good about getting into the robot for a while now and doing what he is told and his reward seems to be now no one is even going to listen to him because he's been doing it so surely he should understand the important of doing it! Stop complaining about piloting a giant robot after being forced to nearly murder a classmate because you've been agreeable about piloting a giant robot to fight alien invaders seems to be the stance. It sucks. Shinji needs more now and instead is getting less than ever.
Anyway, the extenuating circumstances have Shinji racing back to NERV as the angel is bearing down on headquarters and coming to his father and the EVA and asking to be allowed to pilot the EVA, /his/ EVA.
You can see Commander Ikari weighing the options of dying from angel attack against having to admit, even if just to himself, that his son is useful and perhaps even needed. It's not even taking the L it's just ... needing to win gracefully but he's still torn.
Luckily (I /guess/) Shinji is 'allowed' to get in the robot and goes absolutely fuck wild against the angel ... until his battery runs out and his EVA gets to be the third punching bag for this angel, cracking through armour and breaking limbs, shaking Shinji in his seat. Shinji is pressing all the buttons and shaking the controls and begging it to work just a little longer and then /it does/. Lights come on and the EVA catches the angel's attacks and there's an instant where maybe it's going to be okay, Shinji's going to save the day!
Then the EVA shoves the paper streamers from the angel into itself and uses that to regenerate the arm the angel ripped off and I'm like wait they can do that and everyone from NERV is like wait they can do that OH NO and then the EVA is moaning and it has white human teeth. AND THE REGENERATED ARM IS JUST A NORMAL FUCKING HUMAN ARM YOU GUYS JUST A GIANT ROBOT SIZED FLESHY HUMAN ARM AND RITSUKO'S LIKE OH NO IT'S GETTING LOOSE BECAUSE THAT WAS NEVER GIANT ROBOT ARMOUR THOSE WERE RESTRAINTS AND GUYS I THINK THE EVA MAY NOT BE A ROBOT AT ALL. SO THE BREAKING FREE EVA TURNS THE TABLES ON THE ANGEL AND STARTS RIPPING IT APART much like Tohji's EVA-angel was getting beaten and ripped in the last episode but there's no indication that anyone but Shinji is controlling the EVA now. AND THEN THE EVA STARTS EATING THE ANGEL WITH ITS WHITE HUMAN TEETH AND THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND MOANING AND EVERYONE WATCHING KNOWS IT'S EATING THE ANGEL IS THERE A BUTTON IN THE COCKPIT THAT IS LABELED EAT HOW IS THIS HAPPENING I HATE IT IT IS UPSETTING. Fuckin' EVA leaping around and moving like a goddamn cryptid in a jumpscare videogame and it's worse than Tohji's angel-EVA in the last episode with its stretch armstrong choking limbs and this concludes my report on Episode 19 of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

epilogue
On the planet of Olkarion Rebels,Queen slayers Mercarnies and Olkair alike were celebrating the Huge Victory they just had against the empire .But above the planet the Castle of lions , Along with several other rebel ships were being repaired by Vanguards cloud of nanobots. An as this was happening inside of the Castle of lions .Lance,Keith, Hunk, Pidge,Jay and Matt  Were all sitting around The healing pods that housed Thace and Shiro now both armless seeing as Shiro was rejected do to his metal arm being severally damaged in the fight  
“ Hey Jay can you put some music on sitting here in silence is really depressing “Matt asked 
“ Alright  “ Jay replied as he tapped on his wrist computer and let his music start play 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wccRif2DaGs
“ Thank you “Matt said 
“ Your welcome “ Jay said before the room return to the semi silence it was before just with music playing in the background They all sat there for a few minutes until Allura,Coran, Ezra,Shay and Kolivan walked in
“ So how's everyone doing  ?” Coran asked But no one answered” Oh that bad uh” Coran rubbed the back of  his head as Ezra and Shay walked to their respective Boyfriends 
“ Well after everything they have gone through it makes sense that they would be tried and well worried “Allura looked towards  The healing Thace and Shiro
“ So Allura what is are next move?” Keith asked
“ Well I wanted to talk to you about that. After learning Zarkon’s plan to capture your families and use them as a bargaining chip against us. I believe we should go back to your homeworld and make sure your families are alright and to well recruit Earth to the coalition along with recruiting Mars if that’s ok with you jay ”  Allura looked over to jay to see his reaction 
“ Yeah it’s fine we would  have to go there eventually” Jay said as he leaned his head on Ezra’s shoulder 
“ An the rest of you ?” Allura turned her head towards the other 
“ Yeah going home sounds nice” Lance said
“ Same here it would be nice to show Shay around my hometown   “ Hunk said  
“ I would like that” Shay add
“ I wouldn’t mind going home after a year of fighting see mom again would be a breath of fresh air.Right Katie “ Matt said as he elbow bumped his sister 
“ Yeah it would be nice to see mom again. I just hope see doesn’t loss it when she sees what happened to my leg “ Pidge said as she tapped on her right foot   
‘ Yeah that’s going to be a pain explain also she might want you to stop being a Paladin after seeing your foot” Matt replied 
“ Keith what’s your opinion on this ?” Lance asked 
“ I mean where am i going to go. I live on this ship and my brother brother in law and Nephew also live here.So where they go i go” Keith said Bluntly 
“ Alright it looks like were all in agreement So when are we heading out?” Jay asked 
“Once Adam and your kids are back on board and the repair are done will be heading out to your home system“  Allura said
“ Alright with that out of the way is there anything else we need to take about?” Lance asked 
“ Well i think K-7 could be useful he was made to be pilot so having more mech pilots on are sie would be nice.Once we start make are own V-types. As for the twins “
“ They did help us fight Zarkon” Pidge add  
“ But they almost kill us the first time we meet them” Hunk said he felt Shay’s grip around his arm tighten a bit 
“ Yeh i don’t trust them to much after that “ Shay added 
“ But they also worried us about zarkon plan to kidnap  are families “Pidge countered 
“ But they helped kill entire rebel outpost” Matt add 
“ Ok but they helped us and can pilot Robeasts and i firmly believe that they can help us in the long run and i mean if the do betray us we can just end them without a second thought “ Jay said 
“ Not to interrupt your discussion” Everyone turned to look at the speaker who was Kolivan “ but i believe the Twins should go with us seeing as they are children of are former members “ Kolivan said     
“ Well Before we make a concrete decision  let have Adam be here and see what the twins want to do.” Jay said

Elsewhere 
in his peranol chamber of his Capital Ship Lotor looked at The badly damaged Command center with thousands of plasma impact burneds ,Bullet holes, and a long gash that lay their like an open wound on the side of the command center. “ I wish i could have seen it. Most have been a beautiful fight “ Lotor said to himself as he starred at the carnage caused by the Rebel army. As he looked the door to his chamber.Lotor turn to see a Women with lite blue skin dark purple and blue hair. Blue eyes with yellow sclera  She also had four small horn sticking out of the side of her head and they wore the armor of his generals
“ Lord lotor we have collected the fragments of those cubes “ The woman said 
“ Good have are top researchers on in i want to know what they're made of and where they came from “ 
“ Yes my lord” 
“ Then once your done with that bring me the man named skyver followed by Contacting are spies in the rebellion and tell them to watch this Jay person closely i want any and all information on them. He is are only lead to this second Altean Colony and we must find it before my mother does .  I will not let her kill of what is left of my people. “ Lotor ordered 
“ Yes my lord” 
“ one last have we found where bandor disappeared to ?” Lotor asked 
“ Yes we have  “
“ Where “
“ Back i the first colony we was found by guard barely alive. He is currently being treated there and is said to make a full recovery in the come months. We also did a head count after the crash and found that we are now missing one other person”
“ Who is it ?” Lotor asked 
“ Bandors older sister Romelle Silva ‘ 
“ Do we any idea on her current whereabouts ?” 
“ No she has disappeared near the Void’s opening she may be dead My lord “
Lotor clenched his fists hearing that “ And what of CenterPoint labs 
Axca voice when from her normal stern and militaristic tone to more somber one “ completely destroyed and only a few members of the team survived”
“And what about the few survivors “   
“ Off world and in recovery “
“ Alright We'll hold off  on the gate project for another few year and keep me posted on the recovery. You are dismissed “Lotor order 
“ Yes my lotor “ Axca said as she left Lotors Chamber    
Lotor stood there in silence for a few minutes 
“ It was not your fault My friend sciences as it’s rises   “ Ragna said as he walked out from a shadowy corner of the room 
“ Still It was my orders that sealed  the fates of all those people “ Lotor said looking at the smokey wolf      
“ True but you now know what not to do next time “
“ Not to follow my parents notes and stop trying to tear a hole into the fabric of reality “
“Correct Now what is the next step seeing as your father failed to capture  Voltron or the Valkyrie  “
“ I still believe conniving  Voltron  to join us is are best options and to make peace with the rebellion.But i don’t think mother or most of the Generals that were under my fathers rule wouldn’t  be happy about it “
“ Then fight for it and make them listen to you”  Ragna said 
“That is the easy part the hard part is going to be talking to the Paladin in the first place”
“ The worst thing they can do is kill you and fully shatter the empire and bring peace to the universe “ Ragna said 
“  They won’t kill me hopefully when they make this new universal government.Now how is my mother doing “
“ She is in grieving still “ 
“ And of the force that influencing her.”
“ It’s still there stronger now then it was before ” 
“ Alright then it’s going to be but we most keep pushing forwards if we are to stop what is coming “  Lotor said as he walked over to a desk in his room and tapped a button on it to reveal a screen that show a crack in the fabric of reality that was slowly getting bigger and had several different energies leaking out of it
Back in the castle of lions   
Jay and Ezra walked down the hall way towards the hanger beau had told them to go to meet Adam and Jay’s kids
“So you guys going to stay with the fleet or got back to hunting down Queens?” Jay asked 
“ once the repair are done will follow you guys for a few day see what worlds your going to recruit some people then go back to bugs” Ezra replied as They  held onto Jay’s arm 
“ Good to know ‘Jay replied
“ So have you figured out what your going to tell ADam when you see him ?” ill Ezra asked 
“ I’l just tell  him the truth we won and Shiro’s in the healing pods and is missing his arm. “ Jay replied as the two entire into the Hanger. As they entered the Hanger they saw several rebel Ships parked along with Seeing the Valkyrie sitting there surrounded by dozens of rebel pilots engineers and ground troops They also saw the Prometheus parked with next to the dragon mech  
“ Looks like Val has a little fan club “Ezra said 
“ Yeah it looks like it and it looks like Adam’s already he let get this over with then ” Jay replied as the two walked towards the crowd surrounding.
As they got closer to it A female voice Yelled out to them“ Hey Silver lining do you have a moment “Jay stopped in place with Ezra stopping alongside him 
  Jay didn’t know if the person was referring to him or someone else but he turned his head towards the voice and saw a Coeihns woman with short Green hair, Blue eyes  wearing a muscl-t and a open  fleet suit with the upper half tied around her waist .she was walking towards them and the only reason he know the women’s race the moment he saw here was because she looked very similar  to bastion which made him fell a little uneasy.
“ You talking to me “ Jay said while pointing to himself as his helmet automatically pitch shifted his voice to sound like sound wave 
“ Oh my god really” erza asked as they fought back laughter at the stupid voice 
“ What i am i suppose to do it just happens “ Jay said as he pulled of his helmet and started to messing with the in working off 
“ Well that answer my first question “ The Coeilhn woman said as a carma bot float in front of Jay’s face and was about to take his picture 
But if on reflex most of Jay’s facial features disappeared leaving just as the flash when off  
‘ OK that one’s new” Ezra said starring at a now faceless jay 
The Jay mouth reappeared” Next time ask someone  if you want to take their  picture” Jay pushed the carma bot away from his face as he put his helmet back   “ Now who are you and why are you bothering me “ He said he voice dripping with annoyance and anger following that his face marking glowing brightly    
The Coeilhn women stepped back a little scared by the sudden tone shift “ I’m Rey Wellmore I’m photographer working with the Rebels. An i was hoping that i could get a few pictures you and the valkyrie along with Asking you a few question “ REy replied 
Jay’s anger faded away ‘ Next time ask a head of time because  right now i have some where to be and someone to me wi” JAy was cut off as something slammed into his back nearly knocking him to the floor. Jay’s head did a 180% and looked down to see bastion face pressed against his back followed by him  hugging Jay “ Oh hi Bastion”   
“ Your back “ BAstion said his voice muffled   
“ Yeah i am .What did you think i wasn’t going to comeback ?”
“ Maybe”
“ Why?” He question 
“ I don’t know when you didn’t come down with everyone. We thought maybe you had died  “
“ You could have called i bought you all phones for that reason” 
“ we may have forgotten that “ Bastion replied 
“ God you guys really are taking after me “ Jay said as he patted Bastion on his head 
“ Excuse me but who are you talking to ? “ Rey asked
Jay’s neck snapped back into place to look at the reporter “ Sorry Ms. Rey This is Bastion one of my Boy . say hi Bastion “
Bastion walked from behind Jay and looked up towards Rey and when their eyes meet Rey He felt like he was looking  mirror into a which made him felt a little uncomfortabl.So he step back behind Jay  “ Hello Ms.Rey Bastion said “ He said with a wave. and a noticeable hint of nervousness in his voice 
“ Hi Bastion “ Rey said but she sounded Distance and a little confused  
Jay notice this an made a note of this “ Alright with that out of the way. If you wish for an interview when i’m not working you can find me either living in there “ jjay pointed towards the Prometheus “ or in the med by learn from doctor Ventair or in the training deck ‘ Jay said as he, Ezra and bastion started walking towards the Prometheus 
“ Yeah talk to you later “Ray said lose in thought . She watched the three entire into the prometheus   and once she knew she would see her she pulled out a her phone and call someone “ HEy Gillmore it’s me Rey can you check check something out for me ?”
In the Prometheus 
Jay,Ezra and Bastion walked into the Living room 
“ Hey everybody i’m home  “ Jay said as he walked in the living room.
The moment his voice rang out  in the room  Molly head turned around and She scrambled out of Fitz lap crawled up the couch and throw herself at he father. Not noticing the two foot gap between the two of them. Jay with the reflexes that all people get when they become Parents. Quickly grabbed his Daughter out of the air before she even started to fall.Once she was in his hands he quickly pulled her close to him “ God you are going give me a heart attack one of this days”  Jay said
“ Papa’s home” Molly said as she wrapped her arms around Jay’s Helmeted Head 
“ Yeah i’m home Sweety daddy’s home “ He said sweetly as he hugged his daughter back 
“ Hey Jay how was the Mission?” Fitz asked as he looked up toward Jay from his seat 
“ Yeah how did the mision go and why did it take you so long to get back ?” Usamu asked
“ Well that’s a long story see ‘ Just stopped mid Sentence as something Grabbed his Leg. So he looked down and saw Clay hugging it “ Hey Clay “
“ Where you go “ She said as she looked up to him with tears in her eyes 
Jay felt like he had just been punched in the heart as he looked at his other daughter “ I’m sorry Daddy had to go save the universe “ Jay said felling really bad 
“ No leave again “ She said as her grip around Jay’s Leg tightened
“ Yeah no go away again” Moly said as she tried to wiggled out of her father’s arm.Jay didn’t want to drop her. So he place her down .Once she was on floor she grabbed onto Jay’s other leg mimicking her sister 
“YOu both know that not going to stop me right.” Jay said as he start walking  as he did molly started Giggling while Clay stayed quiet  
“ Oh god this is the adorable “ Ezra said as they watched their boyfriend and his kids just goof around as Usamu jumped onto jay back while Bastion and Fitz watched and laughed 
“ Yes it is “ Adam said as he walked out of the stairway holding onto a walke and curious Izuku 
Jay stopped in place “ Hey bub”
“ Is Shiro alive ?” Adam asked already know what jay was trying to do 
“Yes missing his arm but yes “
“ Alright Same medbay as before “
“ Yes “
“ Alright  See at lunch and thanks for for keeping your promises man “ Adam said as he patted Jay on the shoulder before walking out of the Prometheus

“ Yes it was “ Ezra said 
“ Now with that out of the way “ Jay looked to fit then Bastion seeing as the other three were still holding on to him “ Um So there is a chance that were going back to my home world and then to the home of the other Paladins  “ Jay said as Usamu jumped off of his back 
“ So were going to meet Grandpa then?” Usamu asked as he walked in front of his father with a tone of wonder in his voice 
“ Yeah along with my brothers and sister some friends of mine and my mom’s parents  an if we're lucky hopefully not my dad’s family “Jay said that last bit with a little bit of venom in his voice
“ Why not you dad’s family ?” Ezra asked 
“ it’s along story my dear and my DAd can explain it better . Now who wants hear how the mission when “ Jay said not wanting to talk about his families problems 
In what remained of Galra central command
Haggar stood looking over her comatose husband. She had been starring there for the past few hours and wonder how this could have happened . They had taken ever precaution studied every battle that the paladins were in and even equipped the titan with weapon’s tailor made to handle Voltron and the Valkyrie at the same time  but when the snap dragon self destructed on top of the Titan it sealed his fate “ Oh my love what have they done to you” She asked herself 
“ They butchered him “ A very familiar yet strange disembody voice said right behind her
She quickly turned around and slashed at the person behind her only to swipe at empty air “ Who goes there show yourself ‘ She yelled To the empty room
“ I’m hurt Honvera how could you forget me..I’m the reason that you and your husband are even alive after your little encounter that beast from the void ’ the voice said 
“ What “ Haggar thought back to when she and Zarkon had died she remembered hearing a voice talking.But she had put that up to being on death's door. ‘ So it was  you i have to thank for our revival “
“ Yes it was me” The Voice said as a faint humanoid being started to form from purple quintessons  that was powering the lazuriz chamber that Zarkon was resting in  the figure had only defining feature was the two bright soul burning yellow eye “ My name is  Deceit and despite my name i’m here to help you again. ”
“ Why “ Haggar asked  not trusting this thing but she had to be weary seeing as this thing was just sitting on her husbands healing chamber 
 “ Because  every time you  drained a world of it’s quintessens and used it to fue you and your husband.It feed me and i wish to keep that relationship on going. So i’ll help you again by keeping your husband alive. Seeing as this thing “ He tapped on the Lazarus chamber “ Is only postponing the inevitable .” Deceit    said as a jagged smile started to appeared on his avatar’s face.
“ What do i have to do for this deal to work?” Haggar asked knowing that it’s not that easy 
“ Your a smart one “ Decit pointed the newly formed finger at her “ I want you to find this ship   “ Deciet’s hand seemingly grabbed onto reality itself and opened at portal that showed of a massive ship that looked like the castle of lions mixed with her Son’s Capital ship surrounding it it was a massive ring around it “ An destroy it”
“ Why ?” 
“ It’s existence has put plans i have had in motion for a long time in jeopardy. and that is all i’m will to tell you at the moment “ Deceit said 
Haggar glared at Deceit but she really had no real choice  but to follow “ Alright then we have a deal ‘
“ Good i’ll see you in the funny pages Honvera “ Deceit said as he faded out leaving the tear in reality that show off the ship there for a few seconds before it closed up 
Haggar stood there starring at the empty space before turning back to her husband and hoped she man the right choice 
Back in the Castle of lions  
“ So right before Zarkon Die he grabbed on to the black lion’s head with his robeasts remaining arm and tried to electrocute shiro to death but his arm took most of the damage and now he’s healing for the next hour.An once he’s a wakes We’ll be deciding whether or not will be going back home along with the Fates of The twins and K-7 am i correct “ Adam said
“ Yeah that sums it up real well “Matt said
“Alright and thin else i need to know before me and Izuku have to wait another hour just so we can take to him “
“ Uh were going to need a new black paladin for a few months while Shiro new prosthetics are installed from what Jay and that spider said “ Hunk added 
“ That spiders name is  Ventair and she is one of the best Doctor in the whole rebelion so please show her some respected “Matt said 
“ Sorry what Dr.Ventair said “Hunk said  
“ Alright when will decided who the next black paladin then ?” Adam as 
“ After we decide are next course of action will pick the next Black Paladin and with Shiro still around along with Leonidas it won’t take to long i hope “ Allura said 
“ Yeah lets hope “ Lance said 
“ It would be funny if Jay was chosen to fly the black lion “ Matt said Jokingly 
“ I mean Val’s design was some what based off of the black lion so it could be possible that if we  run into  trouble we could possibly combined with the Valkyrie  to make new version of Voltron  “ Pidge added as she grabbed her laptop and started typing away at the possibilities of powers that could come from the union between the two mechs  
“ We could run that by Jay and Val before anything happens i know val was against at first but maybe she changer he mind after the fight with Zarkon. I’ll go ask him“ Lance  said as he got up.But before could full get on his feet Beau’s voice came over the P.A System
[ Alert Alert A gargantuan class dreadnaught of unknown origin as exited a wormhole  8 kilometer north east from are location ] This was followed by a screen show ff the massive ship
Everyone stood or sat there in stunned silence as the massive ship which was a weird mix between the Castle and That war ship that attacked then before they had left the battle fleet 
“ Hey guy is anyone else getting a weird case  desaviolooking at this thing  ?” Pidge asked  
“Yeah i feel it too” Shay said 
“ Same here” Hunk add 
Allura looked at the ship as she did one name came to mind “kronse” Allura said under her breath.Before hundreds and hundreds of Image flashed right in front of her mind causing her a massive and painful head that caused her to fall to the ground clutching her head 
“Princess !!” Everyone yelled in surprise 
“ What’s wrong” Coran asked worried as he helped Allura back to her feet 
“ I don’t know but something about that ship is causing me to see thin Ah “ She grabbed he head again as another set of flash happened 
[were receiving a message from the Ship ]
“Send it through”Adam said taking charge of the situation as he said that a message written in english which surprised everyone.But that’s wasn’t what caught their attention what was write on was
