Opening File: Senior Senior Senior
Senior Senior Senior, better known as SSS is a reclusive old man who lives with his son, Junior Senior Senior on a private island. It is noted both are one of the conquistadors followed Fernando El Aguirre, and founded Crystal Cove. Senior could be classified as a honorable neutral gray character. His main priority besides the safety of his son, is making sure the world keeps spinning, and it's sentient species survive.
As such he's willing to work with both heroes and villains for this goal. He's noted to be on friendly terms with multiple noted heroes such a Krunk, Major Glory, and Birdman despite his recent hobby of super villainy. Though he mainly becomes a super villain for a hobby he also uses it as a chance to train the next generation in a bit of a unique way, even if they might not realize it. Though he won't work with and even fight against villains that would see this world destroyed like Billiam Milliam and Crom Cruach and that include villains that would wipe out or enslave humans/faunus/mobians like Argost.
But other villains who despite their power hungry goals would at least make the world keeps spinning though it may be ruled by them, Senior doesn't have a problem working with those types, as long as they don't clash with his own goals at any rate. For example Senior is believed to be, if not a close friend than close acquaintance of villains like Monty's brother Benedict and their father. Another family the Seniors know is the Archers. Senior and Mallory have a long standing somewhat strange rivalry. They respect each other, and enjoy testing their abilities and wits against the other while Archer and Junior get along great, with Archer being kinda of Junior's idol.
Another group Senior has history with could be then now disbanded Mystery Inc. As the Senior family has long since had a property there, though Junior doesn't know the real reasons why, nor does anyone know the Seniors' connections to the conquistadors that founded Crystal Cove. After Mystery Inc. helped Senior recover some stolen property, or some other problem he became one of their mentor figures, and even gave them some of his own training as they learned to become Hunters/Huntresses. He is also a huge sponsor for the X-Games, an athletic series made for testing Hunter candidates in a series of game show events as a combination of the Olympics and the Wacky Races.
In fact it is believed he used to be a contender.

Opening File: Planispheric Disk
The Planispheric Disk was a map which contained coordinates to a place of infinite treasure. It was used by the Spanish conquistadors to navigate unknown waters, or to hide their cargo. There was one in Crystal Cove that had been divided into pieces, which were sought after by several factions (Professor Pericles, Fred Jones, Sr., and Mr. E).
The disk was supposed to be a key to finding the Cursed Treasure left in or near Crystal Cove by the conquistadors. The disk was created five hundred years ago by Bartimeo Magnus, master alchemist to Holy Roman Emperor King Charles V. The conquistador, Fernando El Aguirre, used the disk to mark the spot where he buried a crystal sarcophagus filled with black pearls that he stole from a temple somewhere in Central America. He later broke the disk apart to make sure no one knew where it was.
The Spaniard had two pieces with him, but before he descended into madness, the two pieces made it into the hands of some mystery solving Franciscan monks, the Fraternitas Mysterium. The monks, feeling the dark power of the disk, wanted to destroy them or at least hide the pieces. Their mascot donkey, Porto was corrupted by the evil of the disk. The donkey blew up the area using powder kegs, hoping to keep the piece to himself.
This act caused a great earthquake which caused most of the original mission settlement to slide into the sea. Friar Gabriello Serra pursued the escaping donkey, and got the stolen piece back; Porto was apparently devoured by the alligators of what would one day be Gatorsburg. Friar Serra hid the piece he recovered in a wheel of cheese. Another piece was lost in the sunken town. The pieces then fell into obscurity, scattered over the globe.
Abigail Gluck managed to scour the remains of the lost city in the sea with her robots, but she died in her underwater lair before she found the lost piece. The Darrow family also found one but consumed with greed, they constantly fought over it. The youngest member of the family, Danny, got the piece away from the rest of his family on a Halloween night, seventy five years ago, just as an earthquake struck that swallowed up their home underground. Danny's family spent the rest of their lives fighting over it until only Danny himself was left.
The original Mystery Incorporated with Professor Pericles investigated the former Darrow Mansion, but left when they couldn't find anything. They found an old scroll with a picture of the disk in the Old Spanish Church, and with advice from the pre-Mayor Fred Jones, Sr., they found one of the pieces when they went back there. Unfortunately, Pericles betrayed them by making a deal with Jones Senior (who also wanted to find the Planispheric Disk), who stole it from the kids as the Freak of Crystal Cove, then forced them out of town with fabricated documents that would could get them and their families into trouble. However, Jones Senior double-crossed Pericles and tried to have him killed.
Pericles barely survived, limping into the outskirts of the town known as Gravity Falls where he was found by a young Nyx Kane.

"We all have our retirement plans. What we all dream of doing when we reach our golden age. Me? I'm already doing what I want to do for the rest of my life but I can indulge in a few hobbies here and there." TOM remarked, watching the file close. "We all could use a little spice in our life, to take something of dulling predictable day to day life it becomes for us. Take a chance to leap out and see something, hear or even smell something new. Don't sit around waiting for opportunity, get out and grab it with your own hands."

Right after Malachite's attack on Beach City
"Senior Residence, Senior-Senior-Senior speaking."
"Hola, Senior. This is Dr. Drakken."
"Ah, Dr. Drakken. Calling for help? And how is the charming lady Shego?"
Senior was an older man, likely of Hispanic origin. He was pretty tall, and had a tattoo of his initials, three S's, on the back of his neck. Though he typically used a cane, he regularly participated in various strenuous activities that suggested it was mostly decorative in nature.
"Well, not exactly and she's about the same as always."
"I heard that!" Shego's voice barked on the other end.
"I am looking for information on a strange creature. Extremely large, four arms and four legs. It attacked Beach City and attracted the attention of several Hunters, including Scotty Blake, the SWAT Kats, Hego of Team GO along with my own cousin and perhaps has the attention of Sebben." Drakken continued, not missing a beat.
Senior raised an eyebrow as he sat back on his seat. "Really?"
"Yes."
"Well, I can say that Beach City is filled with legends and myths, some directed at the legends of the Four Light Goddesses while others claim them to be aTechnoss from outer space." Senior rubbed his chin. "As to the identity of this creature I cannot say for sure."
Senior-Senior-Senior was a very well informed man despite his elderly age. He happened to know a lot about what was going in the world.
"My suggestion that you should avoid any operation in or near GrimmFall for the time being." The elder suggested.
"Yes, that was the main plan."
"I know it's not a lot but even I am still human, Dr. Drakken. Perhaps a break is in order. You and the lovely Miss Shego can come to our island for a bit and relax. Company is in high demand these days and as much as I love my son I am open to a few surprise visits here and there." Senior suggested.
"We'll consider it. In the meantime I have a contact to meet with in the Bermuda Triangle coming up in the next month." Drakken replied politely. "Thank you for your time, good sir."
"Always willing to share my experience, Dr. Drakken." Senior said before hanging up and leaning back in his chair with a sigh.
Oh the joys of being old.

Present Day
GrimmFall Hospital
"Mr. Eddward, you will be pleased to know your parents are stable."
Double D sighed in relief to hear that. "Thank you."
"It was touch and go for a while. Your parents were starved, dehydrated, and beaten." The doctor said sadly. "I'm afraid their condition has left them unable to return home for the time being. I fear traveling could cause their condition to worsen. Do you have any friends or relatives to stay with during their recovery?"
We need to return to Gravity Falls.
"Not now." Double D covered his mouth and whispered quietly before answering Doctor Princess. "I'm afraid not at the moment."
As an intellectual he understood Armatae's mission to return to Gravity Falls as soon as possible to address the threat of Bill Cipher.
However as a son he couldn't bring himself to leave his parents' side.
Not yet.
"I am not sure I can allow you to rest here in this hospital and though I am sure they would mean well, I doubt you are looking to trust our foster care program." Dr. Princess commented.
Unlike many places the foster homes in GrimmFall were carefully watched with specialized workers who have Semblances allowing them to detect possible signs of abuse, read minds or even detect lies. This ensured that any child brought into a foster home was actually well looked after and cared for with routine checks done. It was a rather successful program as it helped lower the level of orphaned children in GrimmFall.
"No thank you, Doctor." Double D said politely. "I believe I know of one or two persons who can help."

In an alleyway somewhere in Peach Creek's city, a gang of men with golden bandanas, jackets, and other gang affiliated clothing as they were closing in on a group of five teenagers walking home with one being a ram Faunus and the other being a bunny Faunus, and one of the boys wearing glasses and holding a walking stick.
"Hahaha! Look at what we got here! A couple of freaks walking in on OUR TURF without paying?" Asked one of the men, holding a bat with nails poking through it in his hand.
"I don't even think these losers have anything to take in the first place!" Yelled one of the other thugs holding a crow bar.
"Please! Don't hurt us! At least let Mike over here go... He's blind!" Begged one of the boys gesturing to the boy wearing the blind glasses and holding the cane, as a stone came flying at his head, knocking the blind boy down as the other boys look down in panic.
"MIK-AAHHH!" Screamed one of the boys as one of the thugs charged in and knocked the kid back with his bat.
That's when all the thugs began to charge in and knock the kids down. The thugs laughed as they dug through the boys' pockets to take whatever they could find and dig through their back packs.
"HAHAHA! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THESE # &$'S THOUGHT THEY COULD BEG LIKE WUSSES TO GET OUT OF A BEATING?" Asked one of the thugs as he dinged through one of the teen's back packs and tossed out books.
"Hey guys! Look at me! I'm blind!" Joked one of the thugs as he wore the blind kid's glasses and held the boys cane in front of him as the blind teen was tossed to the ground and laid in a puddle of water.
"HAHAHAHA! Oh my Glob, dude! That's hilarious! You should become a comedian!" Yelled one of the thugs as all of them started to laugh cruelly.
"A comedian, huh?" Asked a voice from the end of the alleyway as all of the thugs looked over in fear to see that it was the 'Hot Rod' that was on the news. He was in the same protective motorcycle clothes, helmet, and even had him motorcycle with him, standing up behind him. His chains were wrapped around his hands as he held a Ratchet nightstick in each hand.
"So... Go on... MAKE. ME. LAUGH!" Yelled Kevin as one of the thugs growled in anger, picking up a crow bar and running over to Kevin as he swung his crow bar.
It hit Kevin in the shoulder but instead of hurting Kevin, his jacket absorbed the kinetic energy of the blow of the blunt object as his jacket burst into green flames, making the thug stumble back with his arms covering his face. But as the thug lowered his hands, a chain wrapped around one of his arms as it pulled him into Kevin, as Hot Rod pulled back his free hand and used his Ratchet to hit the thug and cause him to fly back and smash right through the brick wall.
SMASH!
The rest of the thugs look back fearfully as Kevin cracks his knuckles. "Who's next?"
Without another word, half of the men pick up their blunt objects to fight again as the others pull out guns, as Kevin jumps in burning hot. As the men try to beat down Kevin, their weapons have no effect on his armor as Kevin kicked one of the men in the head and grabbed the thug who beat up the blind teen, and smashed him into a group of trash cans.
"Seriously!? Picking on a bunch of teens!? With one of them being BLIND!? What kind of soulless pieces of trash does that!?" Yelled Kevin as he knocked another one back with a swing of his Ratchet.
But as Kevin swung another Ratchet, one of the thugs pulled out a gun as he started to fire at Kevin. As the bullets simply bounced off of him as he threw his chains at him and wrapped them around the thug with a gun as he jumped in the air, flipped, and slammed the punk into the ground. As two more thugs dashed at Kevin with their blunt objects, Kevin shapeshifted his Ratchets into their pistol forms as he shot each of the thugs with one gun, knocking both of them down.
But as Kevin turned to the last thug, he aimed a gun at Kevin, shaking. With Kevin showing absolutely zero amounts of fear.
"Come on, seriously, what do you think you're gonna do with that?" Asked Kevin as the man was about to pull the trigger... He stopped as both of them heard a voice from up above.
"Have no fear, citizens!" Kevin and the thug both looked up to see a figure standing on a roof above them with a cape waving behind him.
Kevin and the thug stared on as the shadowy figure jumped down and in front of them as both Kevin and the thug could both see.
"Because Captain Melonhead and Splinter the Wonder Wood are here!" Cheered Jonny in his more updated costume of Captain Melonhead while holding his normal weapon of Crescent Spade with the piece of wood with a smile on it, Plank wearing a mask with strapped to the side of Jonny's weapon, standing there proudly as he stared down both the thug, and 'Hot Rod' who unbeknownst to him is Kevin.
"It's Melon-time!" Yelled Jonny as he charged forward at the unsuspecting thug as Kevin just stood there in shock.
Jonny head butted the man in the gut before grabbing him by the shirt and tossing him high into the air. All before he jumped into the air to meet the thug, face-to-face, before he swung his spade down and smashed the thug into the ground, knocking him out as Jonny landed back on the ground. Kevin just looked back at Jonny as Jonny glared at the perceived, 'Hot Rod'. As the two were staring at each other, the teens who were harassed from before stood up and dashed out of the alleyway.
"I know what your trying to do... 'HOT ROD', right? You were beating up these thugs to get off of your turf! You trying to be the new big cheese of the criminal underworld! And I'm here to take you down!" Yelled Jonny as he pointed at Kevin.
Kevin just stared on in annoyance.
"Wow... Congratulations, Captain Melonhead, you foiled my evil plans of trying to protect these guys from these gang members. It's not like I'm trying to fight them off or anything, I just want to knock out the competition to become the new crime boss of Peach Creek." Said Kevin as he clapped sarcastically.
"AH-HA! You confessed you dirty criminal! And now, prepare to face the sweet tasty wrath of JUSTICE!" Jonny as he charged forward a Kevin who was just standing there with little to no emotion.
As Jonny dashed over to Kevin and preformed a flying kick to knock him down. It was like Jonny flew kicked into a wall of solid steel as he fell backwards and hit the floor. Jonny looked back up at Kevin with confusion in his eyes as he spoke.
"What the- How did you survive my Melon-kick!? How did you get so HARD?" Asked Jonny as Kevin stood there and stared down at him.
"Because, doofus! I infused a mix of Dust into my clothes, making me semi-immune to all physical attacks! Besides... I'm not your enemy! And I don't want to fight you..." Said Kevin as Jonny stood back up with a suspicious glare at Kevin.
"Well, don't think that will save you from any of the Melon-hurt that I will still lay upon you! MELON-BARRAGE!" Yelled Jonny as he slung his weapon on his back and started punching Kevin furiously.
But Kevin just stood there with an annoyed look at every one of Jonny's punches were being absorbed into Kevin's Dust infused jacket. Jonny continued to punch for around three more seconds before Kevin got sick of it and pulled out his Ratchet nightsticks.
"ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH, BLIMPHEAD!" Kevin yelled as he hit Jonny with one of his Ratchets so hard that it knocked Jonny into the brick wall next to them.
A few seconds passed as Jonny jumped out of the broken wall with Plank by his side as he jumped out and stood in front of his opponent again.
"HA! You think a love tap would really bring me down, HOT ROD!? Well then, prepare yourself for my MELON-... Wait... Are those... Ratchet's as nightsticks?" Asked Jonny looking down at Kevin's Ratchets as Kevin looked back up at Jonny, with an expression of panic behind the visor of his helmet. "And... Only ONE person has ever called me Blimphea-... KEVIN? Is that you?"
"Oh, crap." Said Kevin under his voice as Jonny spoke again.
"And how did you know my secret identity?" Asked Jonny as Kevin took off his helmet as he spoke.
"Everyone in the Cul-De-Sac already knows who Melonhead is, Cactus head!" Yelled Kevin as Jonny grew a face of realization, and then a bit of embarrassment.
"Oh... Right. Anyway, what are you doing here beating up these thugs in an alleyway? And why did you tear apart those vans on the street last night?" Jonny asked.
"Because, there was a race last night where I won some Technos to buy the parts to fix up my bike! I hid my identity so Sebben, my folks and the other heroes wouldn't get on my back about doing illegal races! I got the money, but then these paramilitary dweebs tried to kill me and take my bike! Because it's 'so special'... This crime lord named Midas wants the tech from by bike so he can take over the city or something! And I'm just beating down members of his gang so I can find out where the Midas himself is... SO I CAN PAY THAT DORK A VISIT MYSELF!" Said Kevin as he held his helmet under his arm.
"Oh... So you're a superhero now too?" Asked Jonny.
"No you idiot! It's just payback! So, are you gonna try and stop me, or are you gonna help me bring down a crime lord? Since you're already in your Melonhead pajamas?" Kevin asked as Jonny nodded his head.
"Alright! I'll let you tag along! But as my side kick! How about instead of Hot Rod we call you... MELONLAD!" Jonny said as he looked over at Plank who was strapped to his spade. "Huh? What's a stupid name?"
"How about, KNUCKLE SANDWHI-" But Kevin wasn't able to finish his threat as one of the thugs from before groaned in pain and rolled on the ground.
Kevin and Jonny looked over as they saw the guy then both looked back at each other.
"Okay, for now, I'm Hot Rod. And you're Captain Melonhead. We don't want to have this Midas guy find out who we are so he can send assassins after us." Said Kevin as Jonny nodded while Kevin put the intimidating skull helmet back on as he and Captain Melonhead walked over to the groaning thug.
As the thug looked up, he saw an intimidating biker and a teen with a helmet that resembled a melon on his head. "Woah... Am I hallucinating from the blows?"
Hot Rod reached down and grabbed the thug by the shirt as he lifted him up.
"Alright, buddy... You in the 'Gold Gang', and we know you work for Midas Goult. So tell us where he is, and we'll hand you to the police with all your bones intact." Said Hot Rod as the thug just stared at him for a moment, before bursting out into laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You never interrogated anyone before, have you? I don't know what's funnier, the fact that you think you're intimidating me, or that you think that Midas wouldn't torture me for weeks if I did." Said the thug as Hot Rod pulled back his fist to pummel the man, but was stopped at Captain Melonhead grabbed his fist as Hot Rod looked back at Melonhead.
"Wait, you don't have to beat the info out of him. I have a better way. Splinter knows how people work." Said Captain Melonhead as Hot Rod, stood up and took a few steps back out of curiosity to see what Captain Melonhead has in store for him.
Captain Melonhead simply reached down for his belt and pulled out his grapple hook, aiming it up at one of the buildings above them as he fired it and zipped up to the roof. The thug looked up in confusion, until he felt a string zip down and wrap around his leg as he was zipped up to the roof by his ankle as he screamed in fear. But as he stopped, the thug opened his eyes back up to see that he was hanging upside down on the edge of the building while staring the intimidating Captain Melonhead in the eye.
"Woah! Ahh! Ahh!" Screamed the man in horror as he looked up, but from his upside down view hew was dangling several deadly stories above the ground.
His hair was grabbed and his head was shifted to look back at Melonhead.
"WHERE IS YOUR BOSS!? TELL ME NOW!" Roared Captain Melonhead as the thug screamed in terror as Melonhead roared again, silencing him. "TELL ME NOW BEFORE I MAKE A PANCAKE OUT OF YOU!"
Melonhead was about to let go of the line and drop the thug but the thug held his hands out and yelled out...
"OKAY! OKAY! STOP! STOP! OKAY! MIDAS IS ON HIGHWAY 35 IN PEACH CREEK'S UPPER WEST SIDE! HE'S IN A WHITE LIMO! BUT YOU BETTER HURRY IF YOU WANT TO CATCH HIM! THAT'S ALL I KNOW! CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME DOWN NOW? I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!" Begged the man.
"Alright... Happy landings." Said Melonhead.
"What?! No!" Screamed the man as Melonhead let go of the wire as the thug fell back to the ground.
But as he was about to hit the hard ground, the rope around his ankle halted as it saved the thug, holding him only a few inches above the hard ground, until letting him go as he fell on the ground. As Hot Rod looked on, Captain Melonhead jumped back down.
"Okay, that Midas guy is on the upper west side of Peach Creek, on highway 35. In a white limo. But we better find him fast." Said Melonhead as Hot Rod nodded as he pulled back his sleeve to reveal an electronic watch as he started to type away at it. "We can't get there by foot, we can't get there by jumping roof tops, and we can't get there via any normal transportation. How are we gonna get to him?" Melonhead wondered, scratching his chin.
"How about my ride?" Asked Hot Rod as Melonhead looked over, only to see a burning Chopper motorcycle ride into the alleyway and spew green fire out of its exhaust vents.
Hot Rod got in at Captain Melonhead looked on in amazement.
"Man, we got to get one of those things, Plank..." Said Melonhead as Hot Rod looked over at him.
"What are you waiting for? An invitation? Get on!" Yelled Hot Rod as Melonhead shook his head and jumped on the back of Hot Rod's bike as the engine roared and the two took off.
The thug that was interrogated from before reached into his jacket and pulled out his Tablet as he dialed a number in it as he spoke into it. "Mister Goult? Yeah. Yeah, I made it convincing. And that Hot Rod guy is on his way, along with another troublemaker..."

Senior-Senior-Senior sighed as he walked back into the main room of his home, having enjoyed a peaceful stroll around his island.
It was possibly the last thing about this day that was going to be peaceful.
"Well, hello there."
Senior frowned, seeing a young woman on his couch with very long hair and dressed in a provocative manner, especially given the tight top. "And you are?"
"Oh, how rude of me." The woman stood up, patting her pet owl who sat on her shoulders. "I am Nyx, Lady of Chaos and I'm here about a special artifact you may have picked up in the good old days when you were adventuring around world."
"And which one would that be?" Senior calmly asked.
"Why the piece of a very special disk." The owl spoke.
Normally this would surprise just about anyone but Senior took it in stride. "Ah, so someone has finally come for that. I knew this would happen one day."
"And I suppose you have a way to stop me?" Nyx proposed amusedly, looking at her nails. "I should caution you, it's not in my nature to be very forgiving towards anyone in my way. Even the elderly kind."
Senior chuckled. "Nor would I ask for that. I can only assume you seek the cursed treasure."
"Much more than that. You think we would come for just mere treasure?" Nyx shook her head.
"Many would have come for less." Senior shrugged.
"True but I am aiming a little bit higher." Nyx conjured a ball of dark purple energy. "So what will it be? The easy or…Well you get the picture."
"I do." Senior walked over to the wall and pressed a hidden switch.
The wall opened to reveal a large vault that began to open.
"What you seek lies in there…As does what you fear." Senior stepped out of the way, allowing Nyx to hover past him. "Be wise with this artifact. Not many people have been."
