Hello, Jay here once again. Season 3 is finally here. So far, I've done a lot of world building as I wrote the first few chapters. This one should be a lot more like how the first few chapters were written way back in season 1. A return to classics, if you will. Themes of psychology, conflicting personalities, and finding your true self will be demonstrated with the lovable characters as they each overcome their own problems. Welcome to season 3.

Cory awoke once again in his humble abode. Sunlight streaked through the cracks in his wall as he opened his drowsy eyes. Cory blew his hair out of his face and adjusted his bandana of power. What would Cory do today? Only time would tell.

He grabbed his katana of light, once again restored to purity, and began walking down the halls of the white house. Ever since the battle of Berlin, everything had been quiet. The United States had expanded its land and taken over Canada. Newt now had new hope for his future, though now that he no longer had power as silver, he had to compensate with technology. The lab below the white house became his favorite spot to hang out. He also stole tech from them so it wasn't all innocent.

Cory went to the president's office, as he was to receive a new assignment today. What would it be though? Only time would tell. On his way to the office, he had a sudden realization. The president's daughter, Sophie, had been absent from the white house ever since Cory met Xerath.

Cory entered the presidents oval office and went straight to his desk.

"uh president uh what do you want m-me to do now?"

The president turned around in his chair and handed Cory a ransom note. Unfortunately Cory could no longer read.

"It states that the Neo Aztec empire has kidnapped my daughter and will only accept texas as payment for her back."

"no! Not Texas!" Cory shouted in fear.

The neo Aztec empire had arisen a few months ago under the mysterious emperor Caesar. They didn't seem to understand that Rome and the Aztecs were different things. They camped up in Mexico and now controlled most of Central America from their capital, Tenochtitlan.

Cory saw that he might have to leave the house. This would be a catastrophic event, as Cory no longer had the power of the seven chaos emeralds.

"they have camped up in the Alamo, but do not plan to attack for another 7 days. We have technicians working on the bus and you'll be able to leave within the next 6 days. Now, get out of my office," the president ordered.

Cory obeyed and walked out, thinking of how his life would once again be flipped upside down. Cory walked out to the dining area and grabbed his daily ration of bread. Since they had gotten back, DC had gotten better. It now housed a communist dictatorship and starving people appeared on every street. These people, of course, were arrested and taken to the gulag.

A new chef was in charge at the white house after Luigi's passing. His name was Giuseppe. He didn't talk much and couldn't cook. Cory had been searching extensively for his father's body, but was unable to locate where the creepypasta gang had buried him, which saddened Cory on a deep psychological level unknown to any of you normies reading this. Cory knew that as long as Hitler was still out there, the world was still in danger.

Saving the Alamo would be Cory's greatest challenge yet. Cory firmly believed that Texas should be nuked, and saving Texas from the Neo- Aztecs might lead to a dilemma between his beliefs and his country. Bringing together a team to fight the Aztecs might also prove a challenge. Newt, of course, would come along, but now that he no longer had the powers of Silver, he was pretty useless. Null had disappeared since the president gave him the order to find Knuckles, so he would not be coming.

Cory was lost, he couldn't do it all by himself. Suddenly, an apparition appeared before him. The ghost of Michael Jackson drifted out of the floor in front of him and tipped his fedora. Cory felt no fear, Michael appeared to him many times since his passing, he gave Cory advice on a regular basis.

"Cory, I know this mission may seem impossible, but you've always found backup before and you will today as well. Don't worry about who they are or what they do, worry about what skills they have," he said, glowing brightly in the dark corridor.

"But I need a team to destroy the AzTEcs at the AlaMo!" Cory shouted, desperately searching for an answer.

Michael smiled at the fat boy, "The south has many people in it…"

With that, Michael faded away. He had not mastered the force during his years on Earth, so conjuring a force ghost was difficult to him. The speech gave Cory the idea of a road trip through the south to get to the Alamo. They would start by going to Florida, then make their way across until they reached Texas. Along the way, Chris would train Newt in the arts of the samurai and Cory would recruit people to join him in his upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, Null made his way to the Boston harbor, looking for the boat he had rented. A man stopped him and turned him around, speaking with a heavy boston accent that Null could not understand.

"Shut up, degenerate. Where is the ship I rented?" Null said, grabbing the man from his collar and holding him up. A look of fear passed over the man's face, he began shouting in Boston, Null still not understanding him, "Worthless excuse for a human." With that, Null threw the man off the pier and into the salty ocean. Since the great salt epidemic of 2034, the oceans salt content increased so much that any human to come in contact with the water would instantly be covered in salt crystals. The man emerged from the water, suffocating from the salt crystals growing up his back. He instantly died as he inhaled, filling his lungs with the poisonous water.

Null walked off and found his boat, jumping onto it. He would now have to scour the Earth, searching for the mythical island that housed Knuckles the Echidna. Null had already absorbed the seven emeralds, becoming a literal god in the process, but his emotions began to conflict with his identity. Splitting apart into three minds would overload his brain, killing him instantly. Minor conflicts could not cause this, but each of the three minds loyalty and motivation could cause issues for them in the end. Only time would tell.
