John Cena's Story
Back at present-day Soleanna, the Chaos Control portal opens up, and Team Cena lands, Cena on his feet, and Zack and Sheamus on their back.
Zack Ryder: Whoa!
Everyone looks around.
Sheamus: Looks like we made it back in one piece.
Zack Ryder: Where did Randy and Danielle go? Did they appear someplace else?
Cena: Those two can take care of themselves.
He sees a newspaper and picks it up to read it. He looks at something in the pictures, and Zack and Sheamus look at it. Cena realizes what he has to do, for it's only a matter of time. Nikki and Shahra have returned to Soleanna and are walking around the town.
Shahra: Thank you so much for rescuing me. I am so grateful!
Nikki (introduces herself): I'm Nikki, Nikki Bella.
Shahra (introduces herself): My name is Shahra.
They both look at each other, and Layla is surprised to find a tall human princess standing around.
Nikki: Shahra... Wait, you're not Shahra, the Princess of Soleanna, are you? I'll bet someone's already on their way to rescue you.
Shahra: Um, yes, but someone I know said to me... "Nothing starts until you take action." So I decided to heed his advice.
Nikki sees that Shahra is talking about Cena.
Nikki: Hmm... You wouldn't happen to have some feelings for this person, would you?
Shahra (clueless): What? No! Of course not.
Nikki (interrupting): It's OK. Love changes everything.
Nikki walks and looks up.
Nikki: It feels like every little moment in your life is huge!
She spreads her arms wide on the word "huge" and turns to Shahra with sparkles around her.
Nikki: Doesn't it?
Shahra looks at her, then hangs her head down.
Nikki: So, what does this guy look like? Have you already been on a date with him?
Shahra: Well, no... I really haven't...
Nikki: A one-way love? That's so cute. Come on, there's no need to be shy. Look, you're a Princess and you're super cute. That guy's the lucky one! I also have someone that I'm pursuing, too. I wish us both luck!
Nikki holds both hands to Shahra's, and both laugh with each other.
Randy Orton's Story
Danielle has made it through the Tropical Jungle. Omega walks and wanders around in the jungle temple when she appears and discovers him.
Danielle: This is a charming little place.
He turns and sees her.
Danielle (waves at him): Hi, long time no see.
Omega: Danielle.
He looks at her for a long time, and minutes pass as he examines her condition and adventures.
Omega: Situation understood. What would you like me to do?
Danielle (pulls out the green emerald): Take this, and deliver it to Randy Orton.
He looks at the emerald, then takes it and gazes upon it. A plank appears beneath his abdomen, and he sets the emerald down on the plank, which comes back in the hatch inside him as it closes.
Omega: System reactivation countdown initiated.
He moves his arms.
Omega: Backup power source, spare magazines secured. Command program priority changed. New mission: Shadow Support. External access no longer permitted. Confirmed.
He stops and waits.
Danielle (waves at him again): I'm counting on you.
Omega turns around and walks up to the altar garden. Meanwhile, back in the future, Randy looks around at Mephiles in the Flame Core and finds him atop a large stalagmite with a purple glow on top.
Mephiles: So, decided to void your return ticket now, did you?
Randy Orton (points at him): Why are you here? Did you ruin this world?
Mephiles: The answer's yes and no. Perhaps it's better to show you.
He snaps his fingers, and a glowing purple orb appears in front of Randy, who is amused.
Mephiles: Yes, that's you.
Randy steps back as Mephiles continues.
Mephiles: After the world was devastated by Iblis' flames, what do you think happened? A search for the guilty. Who did this, you may ask?
He shrugs his shoulders and frames Randy.
Mephiles: Humanity wasn't just jealous of your power. They feared it.
Randy is unsure of what's going on with him. A close-up of the purple orb with four points is shown as Mephiles continues.
Mephiles: They used this incident as an excuse to hunt you down.
Randy still looks at the orb, clueless about the frame-up.
Mephiles (motioning him with his finger): Come with me, Randy. Let us punish this foolish world of humanity. It is only fair to give back what was intended for you. You have every right to want justice.
Randy Orton (after a pause): That's absurd.
He looks at Mephiles.
Randy Orton: Whatever it is you want to do, you can do it alone.
Mephiles (angry): You forgive humanity this folly then?
The camera turns to the four-cornered orb that emits a black cloud.
Randy Orton: I determine my own destiny.
He holds up his fist and looks at Mephiles, who becomes disappointed and starts transforming into his crystallized form that is surrounded by a black smoke as Shadow prepares to fight him. Randy has fought against Mephiles, who is knocked out and trying to breathe. As Randy approaches him, he gets up and uses a dark energy ball to knock Randy off, sending him flying and crashing against a pillar. Randy slips off as he falls down and lands on his feet, stunned as a sitting duck. As Mephiles approaches him, gunblasts appear between them, and they both look around to see...
Randy Orton: Omega!
Omega had fired a machine gun in his arm and now pulls back.
Omega: Now is the designated time.
He switches from his gun to his left hand.
Omega: I shall assist.
Omega manages to help Randy defeat Mephiles. After the battle, Mephiles is knocked off into the ground in a tumble, then slowly gets up with a grunt. Omega and Randy look at him as he feels dizzy in getting up, then generates a Chaos Control from his right hand, opening a dark time portal above him, then rises up and disappears into it.
Randy Orton: Mephiles!
Randy and Omega quickly jump into the portal before it closes. Back at present-day Soleanna, the dark time portal opens up, and Randy and Omega drop down onto the ground as the portal closes. Randy looks around and gets up and walks around looking for Mephiles, but finds nothing.
Omega: It appears Mephiles is no longer here. I will assist in pursuing him.
Randy looks at the robot and nods, then they figure out a plan of where to go now. A look-up of the castle is shown. Shahra walks around, glad to be inside her home, when Laurinaitis's robot drops down in front of her. She gasps in shock, and more robots drop down, until she is completely surrounded. All of a sudden, Laurinaitis's Egg Genesis flutters downward and approaches her.
Dr. Laurinaitis: Finally, I've been waiting so patiently for you to return, Princess.
She looks at him in surprise, then puts her hands on her heart, as if she refuses to be taken in captivity. At the warehouse pier, Danielle is wandering around when she sees Randy and Omega there.
Danielle (waves her hand): Hi.
Randy and Omega turn toward her.
Danielle: It seems like Big Johnny's machines are looking for you. What did you do this time?
She points at them.
Randy Orton: Nothing. Their target is probably Mephiles.
Omega: What is Johnny up to? Who is Mephiles?
Randy Orton: I'm gonna ask him directly.
He walks off alone.
Danielle: Hey, wait a sec!
Randy Orton (stops): I can handle this alone. You keep track of Mephiles.
He walks away again, and Danielle and Omega watch.
Danielle: Hmph. He finally shows up again and then he leaves before even saying, "Hello." Well, it seems his little trip hasn't changed him.
Omega looks at her, and she calls the G.U.N. Communicator on her left wrist again.
Danielle: This is Danielle, G.U.N. H.Q.?
She pauses, then...
Danielle: Yes, pull all available data on an item called the Scepter of Darkness for me.
She turns off the communicator, then looks at Omega as they wait.
