Resistance Base

The Resistance was trying to recover from the damage caused by the plasma grenades. Tails was looking over the teleporter. He said, "It's busted. It'll take weeks with just me and Donnie to fix this plasma damage."

Chief said, "We'll need that power you used before, Goku."

Toph asked, "Yeah, what was that?"

Goku explained, "It's called instant transmission. As long as I keep total focus, I can move place to place instantly."

Pearl said, "Until the teleporter is repaired, you're in charge of getting us into the field."

Chief grabbed Aragorn, still nursing the shot leg, and Yang grabbed Zuko and Sokka, who were unconscious, and Aragorn said, "We'll keep these two in sick bay until they wake up."

Cartman, Clyde, Stan, and Craig were being held in the High Ruler's cell, minus the stasis field. Stan said, "That asshole just abandoned us."

Amethyst walked up to the cell and said, "You said you knew he was evil. Why did you keep working for him?"

"He has a girl I know and my mom and dad."

Amethyst chuckled and said, "No he doesn't."

Stan looked at her with a questioning glare asking, "How do you know?"

"Buddy, I've seen this song and dance. Let me guess. He showed you a portal showing them in some sort of cage."

"How did you..."

Amethyst explained, "A lot of us have been through that song and dance. And if you were really important enough to him that he had to blackmail you, why are you here and not back in his temple."

Stan looked down and said, "God dammit. So, what are you gonna do with us?"

Star walked up to the cage and said, "Depends. How likely are you to work with us?"

Cartman said, "Like we'd ever work with a stupid girl!"

Star groaned and whispered to Amethyst, "I can already tell the fat one's going to be difficult."

Cartman yelled, "I'm not fat!"

Katara said, "I'm gonna go check on Aang."

When Katara entered Aang's room, she found a gigantic hole in the ground, and Aang's restraints torn apart, blood dripping from them.

Katara yelled, "He's gone! He must've escaped during the attack."

Toph said, "I'll see if I can find him."

Toph pressed her hand to the ground, sending out a seismic wave across the planet. She then said, "I got nothing. He must be flying right now."

Goku explained, "I can find his spirit and take you to him."

Ruby proclaimed, "We'll focus on repairs while you're gone."

Marco said, "I'm gonna go too."

Goku, Toph, Marco and Katara stood together. Katara and Toph grabbed Goku's arm and Marco grabbed Goku's shoulder as he placed his free hand with two fingers on his forehead. After finding Aang, he teleported to wherever Aang was.

Elsewhere

Hours earlier

Mabel, Joel, Ellie, Clementine, Scar, Kenny, Kyle, Token, and Tweek were walking. Mabel heard a whoosh from the roof. She said, "Did you guys hear that?"

Joel pulled his gun out, looked to Kenny and told him, "Kenny. Take the girls. Find somewhere to hide."

Ellie said, "No. We're fighting too."

Token pulled up a sonar and tried scanning for hostile movement. He then said, "I got nothing. Keep an eye out."

Without warning, a shade flashed past Joel, knocking him on his back several feet away. The shade flashed in front of Scar, revealing himself as Naruto, who began punching and kicking Scar's stomach rapidly, then he performed a backflip kick that knocked Scar into Ellie and Clementine. He dropped a smoke bomb, disappearing as everyone tried to help up Joel, Ellie, Scar, and Clementine. Kyle said, "Ok. This asshole's taunting us now. Stick together. If anyone can sense him without seeing him, use that."

Mabel closed her eyes, and sent out a viral pulse. A return pulse was sent back to her from her right. Mabel shouted, "Everyone fire at the right side skyscraper!"

Kyle fired his laser eyes, Scar fired his shoulder based plasma caster, Token transformed his hands into a Gatling gun and fired it, Joel fired his gun, and Tweek started throwing fire and ice at the top sky scraper. Pieces of rubble began falling beside them. At once, the groups ceased firing. Kyle flew up to check what was left of the building. Kenny yelled, "Did we get him?"

Kyle said, "There's nothing up here. We missed him."

A blade with a chain attached to it stuck itself through Mabel's chest, yanking her from the group. Naruto was holding the chain, and grabbed her mouth, whispering to her, "There's a clone of myself on every roof. Say anything or try to escape and I will have them kill your friends. Understand?" Mabel nodded. When Naruto released his hand from her mouth she whispered back, "I know you. From the Berserker's memories. I thought the High Ruler ripped your vocal cords out."

Naruto responded, "He only tells people that to scare them. I'm just not allowed to talk."

"What do you hope to gain by capturing me?"

Naruto said, "I was disgraced by you and your brother. Shamed in front of the great High Ruler. I plan on bringing you to him to gain his favor again."

Mabel tried to explain, "That's not you. He does this to whoever he doesn't want to take. It's a chip. It makes you think what he wants you to think."

Naruto shook his head and said, "Shut it. I know what I want to think. And you're coming with me."

Mabel asked, "I come with you, you leave them alone?"

Naruto said, "Yeah."

Naruto wrapped the chain around Mabel's neck and began walking away, pulling her by the chain.

Nearby

Aang was meditating on one of the rooftops. He was breathing slowly, as the shadow hallucinations began to grow more violent. The world was distorted, emitting a yellowish-green haze. A voice spoke to him, "Avatar Aang. Can you hear me?" Aang looked up and opened his eyes. A faint blue figure appeared before him. As his vision slowly cleared, he saw an older man with long grey hair over his head and chin. He also wore a large robe. Aang immediately recognized him and said, "Avatar Roku."

Roku smiled and said, "It's been some time. What's happening to you?"

Aang tried to see through the haze. He said, "I don't know. My mind is broken. I can only see monsters. The whole world is impossible to see. The Marker has changed me. Ruined my mental state. I can't focus. I don't know what to do."

Roku said, "Relax. You have to capability to fight this. Just breathe. Look past the shadows. This is the creation of the Marker, but an Avatar can look past what he sees." Aang began breathing once again. The blue light from Roku began to dissipate the haze, and the shadows began to fade. He said, "The shadows. They're gone."

Roku said, "Because they were never there."

Aang said, "Thank you, Avatar Roku. I couldn't have found my way without you."

A sound echoed in Aang's ear. He looked down and saw Mabel being pulled by Naruto. Roku said, "Go. You're needed again."

Roku faded away as Aang dropped down in front of them. Naruto said, "What now?"

Aang said, "Let her go."

Naruto chuckled and said, "I remember you. You're the kid I left bleeding on the rebars. I see you've made a full recovery. I'm surprised you haven't broken down mentally, considering you were holding a shard of the marker."

Aang said, "Take off the chain, and I'll let you go."

Naruto shook his head with a smile and said, "No. If you want her, you're gonna have to take her from me."

Aang jumped forward and threw a fire stream at Naruto. Naruto jumped back with Mabel and used the chain to swing her into Aang, knocking him in the chin and sending him back. Aang quickly recovered and charged back. Mabel landed behind Naruto and said, "I'm sorry. He'll kill my friends if I try to fight back." Aang said, "It's ok. I'll help you." Naruto prepared to attack him and suddenly Mabel scratched the back of Aang's neck with a claw, exposing the chip. It was glowing green and flashing. When Naruto turned towards her with an angry glare she shouted, "Hit the light with water!"

Aang quickly lashed out with a whip of water, hitting the chip. An electrical shock engulfed Naruto, knocking him out.

Some time later...

Naruto woke up with Aang and Mabel kneeling over him. He held a hand on his forehead, feeling a headache. He groaned and asked, "What happened?"

Mabel said, "We destroyed the chip in the back of your head that the High Ruler was using to control you."

Naruto sat up and said, "Thanks, I guess."

All three heard a click and a familiar voice say, "I never thought you'd betray me, Agent Zero."

They looked behind them to find the High Ruler, Desert Eagle drawn and aimed at them. He said, "I'm taking the girl. She comes with me, and you don't bleed to death with a bullet in you."

Aang said, "How did you find us?"

"I put a tracker in every chip. The second his chip shut down I was here in no time. Hand her over."

Naruto flicked his wrist and procured a kunai behind his back saying, "No. You took me from my home, turned me into your lapdog, and made me hurt people against my own will. I'm not following your orders anymore."

The High Ruler said, "You've sealed your fate."

When the High Ruler pulled the trigger, Mabel summoned her shield to block the bullet. Naruto dived to the side, throwing the kunai through the gun, destroying it. The High Ruler chuckled and said, "Very well. It's been a while since I've had a real challenge."

Naruto lunged at the High Ruler. He blocked the coming kick with his forearm, grabbing Naruto's leg then throwing him behind him. Aang rushed him and blasted him back with a wind attack. Mabel rushed forward as well, attempting to stab him with her claw hands while he was kneeling. He pushed one of the claws away with his hand and pressed another palm onto her chest, blasting her away with a telekinetic wave. Naruto leapt back and tried to attack again. He delivered two swift strikes one of which the High Ruler was able to block, but he took a shot to the face. Aang struck his back with his staff, then kicked him in the back of the head. The two continued exchanging strikes on the High Ruler, beating him down closer and closer to the ground. He attempted to get up between each strike, but was only brought down by another strike. The High Ruler pressed his palm to the ground, and unleashed a telekinetic wave that knocked the both of them back. He rushed towards Naruto and punched him across the face. Naruto jumped back to dodge the subsequent strike, then kicked out the High Ruler's leg, causing him to kneel again. He back handed Naruto to the ground, then suddenly a series of rock formations began grabbing his hands and legs, keeping him stuck to the ground. He looked up at both of them, stuck to the ground.

Naruto said, "Thanks for the help."

Mabel walked up to the two of them, having recovered from the telekinetic wave. Naruto turned to the High Ruler and said, "You want to rule the world and you can't even take on three of us?"

The High Ruler said, "The making of a true king is being equal parts fighter...

Without warning, Butters appeared behind them, grabbing Mabel, yelling "Chaos Control!", then disappearing with her.

The High Ruler finished, "...and a leader."

Naruto grabbed the High Ruler's chest, held him to his face and said, "Where is she?"

"My fortress of course. I wouldn't go there, though. I've made some changes in your absence. My endgame is nigh. Soon my plan will be complete, and you will all watch this meaningless hunk of rock and everything around it burn."

The High Ruler disappeared into a cloud of black fog.

Aang said, "What do we do now?"

Naruto said, "We find the group she was with and we figure this out."

High Ruler Temple

The Temple had been upgraded. In a half-mile radius, there was a now 50 foot wall surrounding it. Inside the walls were several towers and bunkers with Hive soldiers and Locust soldiers guarding. There were alien hybrids buried all around the inner and outer areas of the walls. The High Ruler's cloud of smoke rematerialized into him at the doors to the heart of his fortress.

Walking inside, he shifted the temple around to move an interrogation room in place of a wall. He opened the door and walked inside, finding Butters standing next to Mabel tied to a surgical table. The High Ruler walked towards her as Butters said, "I locked her in here just like you said! Did I do good?"

The High Ruler said, "Yes. You did well Professor Chaos. Hello, Mabel. It's been a while."

He brushed his hand across her face, and she tried to bite him. He said, "Rude. I give you power that could allow you to topple gods, push you to the limits of meager human evolution, and you turn against me. I shouldn't be surprised, as that was the intention."

Mabel said, "What?"

"Yes. That Berserker that killed your brother? He was never meant to truly die by that blade. It was infused with carbonadium, an alloy that delays and slows healing. Not stop. Unless he was decapitated, he's not dead. He'll come for you, with the combined Resistance and Freedom Fighter army. They'll meet my army in battle. And it will lead...by you."

The High Ruler grabbed her by the head and yelled, "You serve me now!" He transformed her into a Taken soldier, the dark magic completely corrupting her body. In one swift motion she broke out of her restraints, and kneeled before the High Ruler. Through a distorted and loud whisper she said, "What do you ask of me, my king?"

"Remain here, and await instructions. Phase 1 is reaching the final stages. If tomorrow is a success, it will all have been worth it."

Butters was still standing in the room, which the High Ruler took note of. He said, "Uh...you can go back to your room now."

Butters said, "I was just wondering when I get to go home? I mean if I'm not home for dinner, I get grounded."

"Based on what I've heard, you get grounded for breathing. After the final battle, you will be able to rule South Park with a tinfoil fist. I think your parents will survive one night without you."

Butters said, "Oh, ok. If you say so!"

As the High Ruler walked to his throne, he suddenly felt weaker. He felt to his knees as a headache came over him. The Elites guarding the entrance looked back and saw the High Ruler on the ground. They ran to him, picking him off the ground and carrying him. He said, "Bring me to Soundwave and Shockwave. The Resistance did something to me. I want to find out what."

Elsewhere

Joel, Clementine, Ellie, Token, Tweek, Kenny, Scar, and Kyle were looking for Mabel. Kenny looked to his left and saw Naruto and Aang approaching. Kenny yelled, "You!" He charged him, jumping to his head and slamming him to the ground. He brought him to his face and said, "You want to fight again? Do you?!"

Aang tried to say, "It's ok! He's with me. He's on our side now."

Kyle asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Aang. I'm a member of the Resistance."

Clementine said, "Your a real Resistance Member? I've never seen one of you up close."

Kenny said, "That aside, where is Mabel?"

Naruto explained, "The High Ruler has her. I don't what he wants with her. I was his personal mindless slave, so he never told me any of his intentions. I do know this. Dipper is not dead."

Everyone said, "What?!"

"That monster. The Berserker Predator that was sent after you wielded blades made out of carbonadium. An alloy that slows healing, not stops it. He'll be back on his feet soon enough. Can you let me go now?"

Kenny said, "Oh yeah. Sorry."

Kenny released Naruto allowing him to stand up.

Token said, "We should let BT know the situation."

Scar pulled out the cube on his belt, projecting the hologram of BT for everyone to see. He said, "I read you coming in loud and clear. What's going on?"

Scar began speaking in his native language, "Dipper is alive. I am unsure if he's awake yet or not, but I believe we should turn back to find him. Mabel has been captured by the High Ruler, and what he's doing with her, I don't know. Finally, his top warrior has defected to our side. They must've managed to disable the chip in his neck. He informed us of Dipper's condition."

BT said, "Acknowledged. Scar, I advise you find Dipper alone. The rest will wait for you. It is obvious the High Ruler wants Dipper alive, yet not captured, so your route should be clear. The rest of you will wait for his return."

A distorted female voice began speaking to him saying, "BT. Come take a look at this."

BT replied, "Copy that, commander." He turned to everyone else and said, "Good luck."

The hologram ended.

Temple

Laboratory

Soundwave was scanning the High Ruler who was laying on a medical bed. Soundwave relayed the information to Shockwave who viewed it on a holoscreen projected from his wrist. After the scan was complete, the High Ruler said, "What's wrong with me?" Shockwave explained, "You're dying. Whatever was in that jail cell, that conductive gas combined with the lengthy electric shocks, has caused the cells in your body to begin dying, killing you from the inside out faster than your body can regenerate. If this persists, this could reach your heart...and you know what comes next."

"Is there a way to reverse it?"

"Not that we know of. Until we figure something out, I suggest you stay here. Prolonged activation of cells could accelerate your condition."

The High Ruler said, "Very well. For the time being, I'm placing the Arbiter in charge. Do not fail me."

"We won't."

Elsewhere

Aang was sitting with the rest of the group. He was saying, "Where I'm from people are capable of bending the elements. Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. As the Avatar I bend all four, and it's my job to maintain balance and peace on my home. If the High Ruler can travel to my world and conquer it as he pleases, I want to stop him here to protect my world. Where are you guys from?"

Joel said, "I'm from Texas. It was just a regular night trying to avoid getting eaten by Clickers when the attack happened."

Naruto said, "I know this story. It's one of the only ones he told me. When he became the High Ruler, he created this world that we're in. A pocket dimension and moved us into it."

Ellie asked, "How does that work? It was a normal night. Nothing changed where we were than the spaceships started flying down and shooting everyone."

Naruto continued, "I'm not entirely sure how this works, but our worlds exist on different vibrational frequencies. If were moved or vibrated at a slightly different frequency, we could be standing on a whole new world that vibrates on that frequency. He created exact replicas of the areas around us, then changed our vibrational frequencies to match this world, but because the scenery was the same around us, nobody noticed until the attack. Maybe he wanted to incite fear and make his presence bigger, or he wanted us specifically in this world, but regardless a number of us already existed together for about a minute before his attack began."

Kenny asked, "If he's strong enough to do that, why is he having trouble with the Resistance or Freedom Fighters?"

Naruto said, "I'm not exactly sure. Over the last few years his powers have been fading. That's why he turned to the Taken. If he was losing his strength, then a stronger army would be his claim to victory."

Goku, Toph, Katara, and Marco teleported with group.

Katara said, "Aang!"

Aang said back, "Katara!"

Katara and Aang embraced as everyone else met each other.

Marco said, "It's good to see you again. Who are these guys?"

Kyle explained, "I think we can say we're with the Freedom Fighter Corps."

Goku said, "Never heard of them."

Token explained, "They keep themselves a little more secret than you guys."

Katara asked, "What happened to you after you disappeared? You were going insane from the Marker shard."

Aang explained, "I summoned the spirit of Avatar Roku who helped me fight back against its influence. What happened while I was gone?"

Toph said, "The teleporter got busted, but Gandalf helped us get Zuko and Sokka back. They're knocked out right now."

Goku said, "We also got some new friends. More kids. One of them's a little hard to work with."

Marco said, "The one dressed like a raccoon?"

Kyle's eyes widened and he said, "Cartman? What the hell is he doing there?"

Toph said, "You know them? The High Ruler left them behind when he escaped."

Aang asked, "Escaped? We had him as a prisoner?"

Katara explained, "Long story."

Goku said, "What's been happening with the rest of you?"

Joel said, "We're waiting for someone."

Katara said, "Alright. We'll wait with you."

Marco said, "I'm gonna call the others."

Resistance Base

Aragorn was sitting in the recovery room, with a bandage wrapped around his knee with the bloody shard placed on a table next to him.

An alarm began sounding as JARVIS announced, "Alert. Incoming transmission. Source unknown."

Star walked up to the screen and activated it. A woman wearing a bird mask similar to a plague doctor with a hood was on screen. It spoke in the same disguised voice that spoke to BT.

Star said, "This is the Resistance. Who is this?"

The woman said, "You don't know me, but I manage a faction that also opposes the High Ruler. The Freedom Fighter Corps. I have no name you need to know of, but you can call me X."

Star said, "Hey guys...you should come see this."

The rest of the Resistance gathered, including Zuko and Sokka, who had been filled in on the situation; and Cartman, Stan, Craig, and Clyde who had officially joined the Resistance.

Pearl walked up to the screen and said to Star, "Who is this?"

Star said, "She said she's from a separate faction called the Freedom Fighters and her name is X."

Pearl asked, "What do you want?"

X explained, "I want to achieve our common goal. We want the monster that's ruined countless families brought to his knees. We want the High Ruler dead."

Pearl asked again, "Why are you contacting us now?"

"Because new information has come to light."

Marco's voice was heard on the line. He said, "Hey. It's me. We found Aang. It looks like he's made some friends with people calling themselves Freedom Fighters."

Pearl said, "Ok. Head back to base."

Marco responded, "In a minute. They said they're waiting for somebody. We're waiting with them, then heading back."

Pearl turned to X on the screen and said, "Our people on the outside have found some of your friends."

X continued and said, "Yes. That's what I'm contacting you for. We've been able to find someone who is capable of killing the High Ruler. Over the past few days, they've been making their way here, as we don't possess your teleportation technology."

Stan said, "If this has been for the last few days, why are you contacting us now?!"

X said, "Like I said, new information has come to light. The High Ruler...he's dying."

Star yelled, "He is?!"

Gandalf asked, "How do you know of this?"

X turned behind her and called out, "BT?"

BT stomped up behind her and bent down allowing the robotic eye on his chest to be visible to the camera. He said, "Hello. My name is BT-7274 of Freedom Fighter Corps. You may call me BT."

Master Chief said, "I know that thing. We fought it during the early days of the Resistance."

Clyde asked, "What is it?"

Garnet explained, "During the High Ruler's early days of takeover he had a personal robotic guardian. That was BT. He was an effective killing machine, but he got scrapped when he was told to harm civilians."

Pearl said, "We assumed he was dead, but apparently not."

BT continued, "The Freedom Fighters were able to find and reassemble me. And fortunately I am still tapped into the High Ruler's communications and computer records...hold on. I am receiving new audio from the Arbiter's communication device."

X ordered, "Play it out loud so they can hear it."

BT said, "Yes, commander."

BT played the audio he was receiving out loud.

Temple

The Arbiter and Shockwave were talking.

Shockwave said, "Is there no medicine or regenerative essences your species has developed that could help accelerate his healing to negate the cell death?"

The Arbiter said, "No. There has to be something we can find to save him."

Shockwave then had an idea.

"What about the ring?"

The Arbiter asked, "What ring?"

Shockwave said, "After Sauron's betrayal to Crota, the High Ruler requested a new ring be made for him. It's been quite a while and the Locust dispatched never returned to us."

The Arbiter said, "Very well. I'll take Weiss, Blake, and Azula to Mordor and find out what happened to that ring."

Shockwave said, "I'll stay with our leader. The portal is activated by fingerprint, and you should have authorization to activate it."

Resistance Base

Everyone had heard the conversation through BT on the screen. Aragorn walked up, now able to walk better on his hurt knee. He said, "If the High Ruler were to obtain a ring of power, he would wreak more havoc on this world than he already has."

Yang asked, "Why don't we just kill him while he's vulnerable?"

Gandalf replied, "Even if he were to perish, the Arbiter would simply take the ring for himself. If we stop the ring from getting to our enemy, he will perish."

X said, "BT. Can you hack the system from here? If so, see if you can authorize one of his soldiers. If we can capture the authorized soldier, we can use him to activate the portal and follow them."

BT said, "I should be able to access the system, but I can't risk altering it. If they detect my tampering I could be permanently shut out of their systems."

X then realized something and said, "Scar. He said that one of the High Ruler's top warriors defected. Contact them again. We may need him to help us."

Elsewhere

The group was sitting around talking when Kyle turned behind them and saw Dipper and Scar approaching. He said, "There they are!"

Goku called the Resistance and said, "Hey. Those guys we were waiting for just arrived."

Garnet responded, "Alright. Bring everyone back. We have some new information."

Goku said, "On our way."

Resistance Base

Goku, Kyle, Kenny, Tweek, Token, Naruto, Joel, Ellie, Clementine, Aang, Toph, Katara, Marco, Scar, and Dipper teleported into the Resistance Base. X filled them in the situation and they formulated a plan.

Temple

An hour later...

The Arbiter, Blake, Weiss, and Azula were standing at the portal. The Arbiter activated it and set the destination for Mordor. He placed his hand on the scanner, and the portal sparked to life.

Handprint verified. Welcome, Arbiter. Beginning navigation to Mordor.

The portal finally took shape, and Mordor was revealed. The Arbiter stepped inside, followed by Blake, then Weiss and finally Azula.

Up in the rafters, Naruto, Yang, Ruby, Aragorn, and Gandalf waited. When the Arbiter and his followers stepped inside, they dropped down, running to the portal. Naruto placed his hand on the scanner and the portal sparked to life again.

Handprint verified. Welcome, Agent Zero. Beginning navigation to Mordor.

The portal took shape, and Mordor was revealed. Naruto walked in, then Yang, then Gandalf, then Aragorn, and finally Ruby.
