(Within Kenji's Coma)

[Cues: Force of Nature – Same Ol' Thing]

Kenji found himself walking along a dusty forest trail taking in the sight and sounds of nature. Trees of varying types from maples to cherry blossoms were in bloom. Kenji was weary from this nightmare he was enduring managing to off the Xenomorph by sending it to the area of his mind where dreams go to die. Kenji was slowly gaining back control of his own mind, but he needed to crash for a moment. He plopped down leaning back against a cherry blossom taking in a much needed break. Getting into a meditative pose, he began to meditative.

"This is a surprise. You're meditating." A familiar voice spoke to Kenji.

"Ace." Kenji said snapping his eyes. "What do you want?"

In front of him was Ace Blackthorn in his original adult appearance before he vanished.

"Only to help you…you know I would not be here to mock you."

"Then why the hell did you disappear, huh?" Kenji vented. "You were the apple in our parent's eyes."

"Kenji, you know I can't answer that. Plus, Okaa-san and Otou-san loved us all dearly."

Kenji rolled his eyes.

"Kenji, you know what I see? Someone who has the potential but you're not realizing it. You did it with the Xenomorph, you can do it again. Our cousin only stomped you because he was better prepped and you know it. Don't let that dissuade you. Don't you have someone precious to protect?"

Kenji thought of his team, and Ace seemingly faded.

"Damn it, I hate to say he's right. I can't give up now." Kenji said getting up.

[Cues: Chaoz Japan – Castle Crashers]

"So, you're here?" Kenji said getting his sword in hand. "Well, bring it. Only I will walk away alive from this."

"I will show no mercy." Sektor said getting into a kenpo stance.

"Then, it's the end for you." Kenji said taking a loose stance of the Black Balance Style.

The two rushed in to with their first attacks coming to a clash sending them back a few inches. Sektor produced flames from his wrist mounted flamethrowers. Using Paper Art and relaxing his mind, he made his limp and nimble enough to dodge out of the way getting out a kunai knife. He slammed it into Sektor's hand disabling one of the flamethrower which sprayed fluid all over his hand. With a spark of ki, Kenji lit it ablaze.

"Gah, annoying organic pest!" Sektor said infuriately impaling Kenji with his Pulse Blade. "Let's see you dodge that."

Kenji already had and Sektor had not realized he stabbed a clone. A water clone that had the idea to alter himself into being made from water to…nitroglycerin. So, when Kenji appeared behind Sektor, the clone had his last words.

"Let's see you dodge this."

[Music End]

Kenji flipped back, and the clone promptly blew up in Sektor's face. While the blast did not off him, it did leave him badly injured with both arms blown off. Kenji strode up as Sektor cursed a storm swearing revenge. Kenji took a step back to let an anvil from the sky crush Sektor's head. Kenji snickered at the classic gag he thought up. After raiding the corpse for weapons, he vaporized the body.

"Riptor and Freddy, and I feel that brunt wad of douche is waiting for me." Kenji said to himself.

Kenji floated up into the air and flew on ahead. He had a nightmare to purge.


Back within the Mushroom Kingdom, everyone had gathered. Evie had a grim look on her face looking deeply worried.

"Aunt Evie, what's wrong?" Dymmi asked.

"It's Ryker. He found out about the Pink Diamond, and the fallout was not pretty. Crystal Squadron completely fell apart." Evie said concerned. "My brother was heartbroken."

"What did you expect? She essentially lied to everyone and make their whole purpose for naught." Katsumi said bitterly. "And to fair, Steven Universe as a show is overrated tripe anyway."

"At least, it's not Teen Titans Go fuck yourself." Mimi remarked getting nods of agreement.

"Should we do something about them?" Dimentio offered.

"No, leave him. I doubt Ryker will be in any mood for talking. Besides, it's Pink that needs to settle this." Katsumi remarked.

"It seems Ridley and Daisy made it in to the new Smash with the Inklings." Master Hand said checking out his phone.

"With the few characters in the Metroid verse, this is a good thing." Oscura chirped as Samus groaned.

An explosion rocked the place as Dimentio was wondering what was is this time.

"You know, what could possibly go wrong?" A familiar annoying voice said at the top of his lungs. "How about…everything!"

"The worst of the 90s has finally come." Mario said under his breath.

"Fucking Bubsy!" Zone-Tan grumbled.


(A/N: A rather short one, but it's more focused on Kenji's development as he quickly gets his act together. As for the gang, they'll have to deal with Bubsy and his crew! Next time on Super Mario Warper Genesis!)
