Cory and the gang stood before the menacing figure. Tito Dick then walked back into the portal, dragging DIO with him.
"After him!" Naruto screamed as he rushed towards the portal.
"Wait, Naruto!" Sasuke screamed as he was dragged in by him.
The rest of the group stood, frozen in fear and confusion, for a moment. It was a minute before they all chased after Tito and their allies. Once they had all gone through the portal, it closed behind them, leaving the dark and ominous Sevastopol station behind. The place they were now was very colorful and looked like it was made with terrible CGI. They saw Naruto and Sasuke on the ground before them.
"Naruto! Sasuke!" Cory and Ryuko yelled in unison, rushing to the ninjas.
"I… I still can't see…" Sasuke muttered.
"Look out…" the orange ninja began. "Look out for… the mail man…"
They all looked at him in confusion. They had then realized that Tito Dick was nowhere in sight.
Cory then asked, "What mail man?"
Almost as if on cue, a small mail van drove up from another badly animated platform as they stood over a massive lake of lava. As it came to a stop before them, giant letters appeared in the sky and read "LEVEL 4." This place seemed familiar to Cory, but he couldn't quite figure out what this place was from. The doors of the mail van opened up and three figures stepped out. One of them was Tito Dick, another one looked like a mail man who Cory was completely unfamiliar with, and the other one was wearing a cowboy hat and held an umbrella which he immediately tossed into the lava lake.
"Did somebody ring the Dinkster?" the last guy asked to no one in particular.
Cory recognized him as Dinky Winks from Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, one of his favorites. It was at that moment he realized where exactly they were. They were in level 4 of Game Over, the video game featured in Spy Kids 3: Game Over.
"We don't need you anymore, Dinky," Tito said. "Postman Pat!"
Then the mail man threw a stamp a Dinky and a brown cardboard box began to form around him. Once the box was sealed, it was suddenly launched away, leaving behind his cowboy hat and branding iron.
The group was shocked, except for Sasuke who was still blind. Jotaro and Ryuko gritted their teeth and prepared themselves for an attack. Pikachu stood defensively in front of Cory while Naruto pushed Sasuke behind him. The odds were in the gang's favor, six on two. However, these two before them, Tito Dick and Postman Pat, appeared to be radiating with energy and power.
"Give up now and bow to me!" Tito began. "DIO was my minion all along! His ability, Za Warudo, is now under my control. Za Warudo is the reason that you're here, Cory Baxter."
Cory gasped as everyone else turned to look at him. Pikachu then growled and charged forward to attack Tito with Volt Tackle. Just before the electric mouse made contact with the middle-aged man, the blue blanket emerged from him and slapped Pikachu away. The blanket appeared to have a football helmet and star on it, which Cory recognized as the logo for the Dallas Cowboys NFL team. The Pokémon was sent flying into Postman Pat and electrified him. The man in the blue mail man uniform began to shake violently from the high voltage coursing through his body. He unconsciously began to drop his stamps which landed on both him and Pikachu. As the stamps made contact with them, multiple cardboard boxes began to form around the two of them. Once all of the boxes were sealed, they were launched away across the lava lake.
"PIKACHU! NO!" Cory screamed as he watched his new friend get launched far away from him.
"What? What happened?!" Sasuke demanded.
The whole group was shocked, Naruto and Jotaro were speechless while Ryuko covered her mouth. Cory fell to his knees began to shed some tears. Sasuke moved the headband over his eyes up and only made out a blurred image of the scene before him. He gritted his teeth as he made out the figure of Tito Dick cackling maniacally.
"Flyingjutsu!" he cried as his body began to radiate with a blue aura before charging at the villain.
Naruto was surprised to see him act, but then joined his charge after yelling, "Ninjajutsu!"
Soon after Jotaro and Ryuko joined in with Star Platinum and scissor blade respectively. Tito just stood there as two glowing ninjas, a schoolboy with a ghostly man and a schoolgirl with an unusual weapon approached him at incredible speeds. Just before they struck the blanket stretched out and wrapped itself around all four of them. The blanket then tightened to restrain them. The ninjas' auras began to dissipate and Star Platinum began to faze back into Jotaro. For them, they were done for.
Suddenly, Cory rose. He wiped his face and glared at the man holding his new friends hostage. Cory then put his hands together and began to charge up energy.
"Kame-hame-hame-" he started while slowly moving his hands back and forth.
Tito Dick grinned, eyes wide behind his sunglasses. The others continued to struggle in the blanket's grasp.
"Hame-hame-hame-" Cory continued, his hands beginning to glow. "Hame-hame-hame… HAAAAAAAA!"
He then thrusted his hands forward, sending the energy he had just charged up into a beam which hit Tito. Fortunately, none of his friends got hit by his new attack. Tito and the blanket were suddenly launched back, the latter releasing the hostages. The man screamed in pain as he and his now ruined blanket fell into the lava lake. Suddenly large text appeared in the sky and read, "GAME OVER."
He had done it. Naruto, Ryuko, Jotaro and Sasuke, who could now see, looked at their savior. Just as Neo had predicted: Cory had become an S-Class Super Hokage Desu Chan Master.
"Y-You did it!" Naruto cheered.
"Are you all okay?" Cory asked as he then approached his friends.
All of a sudden, the texture for the videogame level began to break and fade away. They all looked around them, scared.
"Since you beat him, Cory…" Jotaro began. "Za Warudo's power is wearing off. This world is ending!"
Cory then looked at all of his new friends, feeling a deep pain with the absence of one member. The two ninjas looked at his with sad looks.
"This is where you go, Cory…" Naruto muttered, smiling sadly.
Cory gasped. He then gave everyone a group hug. They all began to weep as the world around them began to fade.
Cory woke up with a start. He was back in the forest. After looking in every direction, he realized that none of his new friends were there. He covered his face and shed a single tear. It had all been a dream, or so he thought.
He then felt something in his pocket. Cory quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded up photo. He unfolded it and gasped at what he saw. The photo was of him with Naruto, Sasuke, Pikachu, Jotaro, Ryuko and Neo.
Cory could not contain the emotions he was feeling any longer. He immediately broke down crying.
"It was real…" he muttered, mid-cry.
After what seemed like a year, Cory finally composed himself. He stood up tall and proud as he wiped his face. He then walked out of the forest. When he did, Cory noticed that he was just in the garden of the White House! He really had not gone far from the house.
With his new found courage, Cory decided that he would talk to the President to allow him to still watch anime. He knew that he would make many new enemies, but he would also make new friends.
He began to make his way back into the White House. Just before he walked inside, he paused for a moment and looked up at the sky.
Cory then said, "Wow… That really was a crazy quest."
