[CN-Zen Kuro]
"So, let me get this straight, Dymmi used a transporter for our ship to get to CN-Zen Kuro to murder a bunch of supervillains, steal All for One, and escape under our noses?!" Ryker roared as the team was all gathered.
"This is a diaster! The people can't find out about this!" Peridot said panicking.
"Forget the voters, Tara will have my head if she discovers this." Ryker said taking a breath. "Well, I locked down the teleporter to have a bit of a "door" so that we have to let them in. No more future surprises."
"As for Dymmi?" Amethyst asked.
"The fact that my cousin has one of his ninjas come to us as a "snitch" to tell us is a sign even he is weary." Ryker said getting up. ""For now, I'm going to check the database on the Blackfrost. Because if she used the teleporters, she had to have gotten past security measures. Let's hope nothing was stolen."

"You feeling better?" Enid asked as Maylene got to her feet.
"Yeah, but where are we?" Maylene asked.
"Out of Texas. Springfield, Missouri. And you're on a motel bed. I decided to drive seeing you were in and out of it. Your stuff is on the table." Enid said pointing over to a table. "But please take a bath."
"All right, all right. Just wash my mission clothes." Maylene said heading for the bathroom taking her backpack with her.
She tossed her the combat clothes before heading off to shower. Enid was off to head to the laundry which was not too far. She still did not know how she was going to tell her about the news or the rather ugly things Spinel has said on Twitter. Over at Castle Spinel, Spinel was rubbing her sore head asking Moon what happened.
"That Sosa give you a sample of the cocaine he was producing in Beach City, you tried some and went….and did some unpleasant things." Moon said trying not to say she went bonkers. "You had your man hack the news feed to insult another warper, pissed on another man's moon, had Rhina of all people give her a lap dance, lit a quarter of Neo-California on fire, punched the mayor, violated his dog, forced my mother to bow in front of you while you urinated on her, and wrote some rather nasty stuff on Twitter."
"Moon, that must have some good cocaine. I want more." Spinel said blankly.
"Shouldn't you be concerned with what you said on Twitter? Or training your abilities? Or learning how to…" Her advisior said only for Spinel to interrupt.
"Oh please, who could have I possibly pissed off?" Spinel remarked.
[In other universes]
"THAT PINK CUNT!" Mura said as her energy raised. "Piss on our moon, I'd laugh that off. But how dare she insult me on Twitter?! I did not sleep with my boss to get ahead. Chronoa's not even into other girls…I think."
"Please calm down, those are clearly drunk texts." Jessabelle said with a sigh.
"She said that you sucked Des off for a raise." Mura said as Jessabelle punched a wall.

A scream rang out as a table was thrown into the wall! Cherie Rose Loveless was not a woman to be angered. Mihawk had taken the kids leaving his wife to throw her bout of rage. He sympathized with her given what Spinel did. Calling her a fugly whore was bad but mocking her past trauma and making a meme out of it was even worse.
"SPINEL!" Cherie screamed.

"How dare this bitch say I'm medicore!" Nathan said cracking his knuckles.
"Nathan, are you really going to hunt down this chick just because she called you boring. Look, she called other people a lot worse." Alex said putting a hand on his shoulder. "Besides, we have bigger problems."
"For one, Galatea and Kara are fighting." Misa said trying to hold Kara back while Diana held Galatea.
[Back to the focus]

"A good chunk of the warper community." The advisior said only to get blasted by Spinel.
"Whatever." Spinel said leaving the room.
Moon's eye twitched as she wished she was anywhere but there. As for Maylene, she was in shock over something more important.
"I got a Mewman transformation! Neat!" Maylene said excitedly as she cycled through the other aliens while drying her hair. "Ok, let's see what aliens I got in this thing."
Maylene slipped in on a sport bra and a pair of shorts before plopping down on the bed before going through cycling through the watch's aliens.
"Let's see, alongside from the one I transformed into and the Mewman one, I got an Ectonurite, a Galvanic Mechamorph, a Tertamand, a Sonorosian, a Crystalsapien, an Orishan, a Nemiuma, a Galilean, and a Chimera Sui Generis. Neat…but what a second…where the fuck is the Saiyan transformation?!" Maylene asked. "Seriously? You got all these aliens, but not a Saiyan? Seriously, mom and dad, what the heck?"
Maylene sighed at least grateful the Omnitrix was working at the least before changing the shorts to a pair of sweatpants and getting on some socks and the combat boots. Putting her phone, wallet, headphones, and key card in her pockets, she went out for a bit of a run taking in the sight while listening to music. To the people, she was some blonde goth on a run. Maylene took her time practicing her skill in weaving and several gymnastics movements before her cell rang. She simply tapped the button on the side of her headphones allowing it to be a headset as a mic extended out of the right side of the headphones.
"Nice to see you're feeling much better." Enid said. "Your energy isn't in flux like before. Your clothes are done."
"All right, I'll meet you back at the hotel. I'll get us something to eat. Pizza sounds good?" Maylene asked.
"Just no garlic." Enid said before hanging up.
Maylene's headphones returned to normal as she now had them around her neck flipping them over to became speakers.
Maylene had taken her time before, but had soon returned to the motel with a pizza for her and Enid along with a few things.
"You got black lipstick?" Enid said tocking her head to a side.
"I've always wanted to, but I never got the time to do it. Schoolteaching and all that. Figured I'd just do it now…" Maylene said before asking if it looked good.
"Oh, it does, May." Enid said giving a thumbs up. "But where are we heading to find the next pieces?"
Maylene checked her radar and said, "Somewhere in the Delmarva providence, and it pisses me off to say the other one is in Neo-California. If I was a writer and a betting woman, I'm guessing the next piece is in where Beach City should be."
"All right, but let's take it easy for a few days. Your Omnitrix left you pretty winded, you find out what aliens you got?" Enid asked.
"A mixed bag and only one that can fly, but it's pretty tiny." Maylene said with a sigh. "At least, I got a Mewman transformation. But as much as I want to get the hell out of this place, I guess we can take it easy."

Over at CN-Zen Kuro, the Crystal Squadron took to investigating the Blackfrost with a bit of help from Gwen and Kevin. Gwen scanned the place with her mana-covered hands carefully.
"Her presence is on this cabinet. What's in it?" Gwen asked.
"In that cabinet? It contains a few things I got from the Final Fantasy universe…my Magicite collection!" Ryker said opening it to see the Magicite was gone. "Oh, come on! Getting just those five was difficult. She also jacked my Flametounge, Thunder Sword, and Ice Brand."
"Tell me that's not a bad thing." Kevin said looking seriously. "I'm not exactly all too knowledgeable on Final Fantasy."
"They're elemental blades, but Bismuth and I had reforged them into ninjaken swords while using the Magicite to enhance them. On their own, a mild issue. But if she dual wield or usings all three, then we got a problem. Magicites are kind of like the Metsu Emeralds except made with energy and you only need one to be an issue. Boosted magic, access to learn it's skills, and to summon the being within for an ultimate attack." Ryker explained.
"I thought your clan eschewed magic for rel…." Gwen said raising an eyebrow only for Ryker to cut her off, "It's complicated, but the blades were going to make to give to Merch. It was a side job me and Bismuth took up to earn a bit of cash."
"But that little bitch cost us several trips and 21,000 gil that we had to get to buy those blades." Bismuth said angrily.
"Thankfully, it seems she missed the Yagyu DarkBlade." Ryker said opening a hidden compartment. "And the magicite I used on it."
"One of the strongest blades in the series." Bimsuth said before Kevin whistled in appreciation. "Ryker, we should deliver that to Merch."
"I know." Ryker said sheathing it.
Aside from the blades and magicite, nothing else was stolen. However, one of the computers had her presence on it. A check revealed she had tried to hack it, but Ryker had the passwords on the computers set after he got the ship.
"This is a freaking mess, and this day can't get any worse." Ryker remarked.
"So, you did the new episodes of Future, right?" Tsubasa said.
"I did, and thanks for reminding why I regret ever investing in it." Ryker said with a sigh.
"At least, you don't have your alternate self become more and more of a needy asshole." Steven spat.
(A/N: Next up, we reveal what Marco is up to and the state of Neo-California. I wanted to set things up to properly swap over to Marco. Be prepared for California after it fall apart…and yes, you can laugh at the irony.)
