[thistledropkick]

An announcement came out that ex-Suzuki Gun member Iizuka is having a cross-over release with a clothing company and Taichi has some concerns.

For those who haven't been following Taichi's side-business as a curse-banishing paranormal investigator, he's been managing the cursed Iron Fingers ever since they were handed down to him after Iizuka's retirement. On Taichi's last paranormal adventure, Iizuka was banished in time and space because Uemura hit him with a time-traveling car. But somehow, Iizuka is back?

Taichi:

What's this--!

I thought he'd vanished in the void of time and space...?

Can it be...!?

Somehow I've got a bad feeling about this Seems like I'll need to investigate...

Taichi:

no no no This can't be possible

During the Hokkaido Tour, along with Yuya Iizuka vanished into time and space 🚗💨

Ah- Unbelievable...!

Just as I feared We need to investigate don't we... Should I gather the Taichi Investigations Team once again...!?

【 Watch the shocking conclusion in the last 5 minutes!! Holy Emperor Tour in Hokkaido 】 ↓ https://www.youtube.com/live/8kAkXId-afM?si=K32TCseYPM2lhvfa

Douki:

Today I'm going to Sendai to sign autographs

※ This photo of my fingernail that I cut too short is unrelated to the autograph signing

Taichi:

It's a short trip from Sendai to Hokkaido

I'll be there waiting for you...

Douki:

...a short trip??

Taichi:

786 kilometers

That's short 🚗

I'll be waiting for you

(note from me - the driving directions say that the trip is an 11 hour 38 minute drive and involves taking a ferry)

Ishida, who did the video editing for the previous Hokkaido expedition tour, posts to say that he's arrived in Hokkaido by plane from Hiroshima, which is quite a distance away.

Taichi:

Seriously, to think you'd come here all the way from Hiroshima!

For now, let's rendezvous at this location

I'll be waiting 🪨

# Taichi Investigations Team

Taichi:

A typhoon is approaching And Hokkaido is experiencing heavy rainfall...

Just as I thought The signs of that man's presence are growing stronger...

We'll just have to investigate in the rain...

Never again I will never allow him to return a second time! Never! Never again...!

IIIIZZZUUUKAAAAaa------!!

Ishida:

Um-....... Is it ok if I arrive tomorrow instead....

It's fine to just tell me on X... And maybe you could send me your schedule on LINE or something too...

(note from me: His map shows that arriving to Taichi's rendezvous site will take him 14 hours by train)

Taichi:

Sorry sorry I guess Ganbou Rock is pretty far away

Let's change it to here instead!

I've already been waiting out in the rain for a while now, you know? ☔

So please come soon 🚴

I'll be waiting for you

Ishida:

Now hold on-!! Taichi-san... lolllll

I've arrived at the designated location but... Why do I have to spend the night all alone at a scary place like this!!!

I don't wanna! It's too scary!! What is going on!!! When are we going to meet up!!!

Taichi:

Mysterious voice: "Welcome, Ishida-kun. Play a game with me. The rules are simple. No matter what happens, you must never startle or scream even once until morning arrives.

"The Mysterious Abandoned Inn Where You Must Not Show Fear" has begun..."

subway surfer soap cutting tiktoks: olympics version

[treatsf]

Scout was screwed. Royally fucking screwed. Hands were shoved into drawers, frantically searching, shaking, sweat dripping down his skin as he desperately looked for his next hit. He knew he had to have some of it somewhere, he knew that because he needed it, because he couldn’t live without it, and if his past self left him empty handed again he might just strangle himself to give some sort of point because damnit he needed to be more prepared for these kinds of things. He threw whatever was in there out of the compartment; he threw books, he threw pencils, he threw stickers and pieces of paper and rolls of bandages and cords and needles and syringes until he dumped out the entire drawer and found nothing. He was beginning to panic, beginning to panic more than he already was before, because that was where he always hid his stash, that’s where it had to have been, and if it wasn’t there then it wasn’t anywhere and he couldn’t possibly be out because he was sick and he hated being sick and he needed to be normal and he needed to feel good again and he—

There. It was right there, in the next drawer down, a tiny ziplock bag containing all his hopes and dreams, everything he ever lived for etched into the powder held inside the plastic. He could tell there was none left for a second hit, and after this he was screwed, truly screwed: none of this frantic searching bullshit would be able to save him. But fuck if he cared. Fuck if he ever cared. Because in that tiny pouch contained his ticket to happiness, his ticket to success, his ticket to everything that would make him whole again. He would be normal. He needed to be normal, even if just for an inconsequential blip of time.

Snatching it like a falcon pouncing on its prey, he opened up its insides, hand fumbling for his spoon and his lighter before he grabbed a syringe and his cord and wrapped it around his arm. He had stolen the thing from the Engineer while the man was in one of his sporadic bouts of slumber, none the wiser to what was going on, and while of course he felt bad he knew he was doing it because he needed it so maybe it was okay. He had a bag of cotton balls he used when he wanted to be careful, when he wanted to inject the right way, but injecting the right way didn’t matter to him at that moment so he didn’t. Setting everything up was quick. It was easy. It was fine. He was going to be fine. He had a syringe full of euphoria, and nothing else mattered in that moment.

However, for just a moment, he had a sense of clarity. He was broke, ass broke, and after this hit he didn’t know where he’d find another one. Their paychecks came in 5 days, and he couldn’t wait it out for 5 days. He couldn’t be sick like this for 5 days, sweating through his clothes and shaking and yawning and sniffling and sobbing and aching and feeling like utter shit. He had just emptied out one of his drawers, and what if someone decided to come in and saw all of it, saw everything out in the open like that, with him in the center of it all? Were his doors locked, were his windows locked? Had he made any noise, any sounds, any smells? Shit, was he addicted?

But fuck, it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter because as soon as that needle was thrusted into his arm, as soon as he pulled the plunger until blood pooled in the syringes barrel, as soon as that brown tar entered his veins, he was in heaven. A smile danced across his lips, a heavy one, a droopy one, and he fell onto the bed, ripping the instrument out from his flesh, body too numb to remember where it went. It was like he was back at home, back in his mothers arms all the way in Boston, held and coddled and wrapped and swaddled like a baby, told it was all going to be okay. He didn’t have any more money and he was out of smack so if he couldn’t find a way to get more fast he was fucked and if that happened his coworkers were bound to realize something was wrong soon enough, but none of that mattered. None of that mattered because he felt good. He felt great. He felt like nothing could ever touch him, because up was down and left was right and water was red and fire was blue and the devil was good and god was bad but fuck, he felt amazing. None of it mattered.

War of Shadow Realm ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 4 Finale [2/5]

"Meanwhile in Space Storm Galaxy..."

[What I'm Made of - Crush 40]

Neo Metal Sonic (as Metal Overlord!) : Long time no see, Sonic! My Loathsome copy!

"METAL OVERLORD : The Ultimate Overlord"

Sonic : Alright, Metal! I told you there will be a rematch and that's just good old fashioned butt kicking!

Tails & Knuckles : We're right behind you!

Mario (via Communicator) : Can you hear me, Sonic? Your old robot doppelganger rival is going batshit-crazy again with the Overlord thing! We manage to get to Ohkubo's moon, but I believe that the fight's not over! I know how to stop him and return him to normal!

Sonic : What should I do, Mario!? There's no way that our standards attack were useless against him!

Mario (via communication) : Nonsense! All you need is a little bit of Team Blast to unleash your ultimate or special move, Sonic Overdrive is the only attack that could return Metal Sonic back to the way he was before! That's your chance to attack him!

Princess Peach (o.s) : Go for it, guys! You can do it!

Neo Metal Sonic (as Metal Overlord) : Sonic, I discovered that the Time Eater was responsible for destroying half of the Ohkuboverse that it appeared 1000 years ago and revealed that it was a facade by Shadow Realm. But the Time Eater has killed the man who created the world of that Bratty Meister! So that is why I was brought into this time in the real world to overthrow the Kusakabe Legacy with my bare hands!

Penny Crygor (via communicator) : So what? The Kusakabe Legacy object revealed itself that it might be data that was stored in the mainframe, then I realized that the legacy that you wanted to ovethrow was something special to his family that dedicated him from California using the via network system. So it turns out that the Kusakabe Legacy itself was pieced together in a database stored in one disk.

Neo Metal Sonic (as Metal Overlord) : And I bet it was the time eater that created the Legacy of his family! And now I understand things from a girl-genius grunt of a plumber like you! That's just great! [picks up an Eggman Fleet Battleship] But I'll suggest that...I'LL CRUSH YOU!

Cooler (o.s) : Hey! Those are my lines!

(knuckles destroys the battle ship by punching it)

Sonic : Now then, onward with march!

Tails & Knuckles : Okay!

"Two Team Blasts attack later..."

Sonic (in Super Form) : Ha! It's working! Looks like it's working, guys!

Mario (via Communicator) : Knock him dead, that'll put up to his misery!

Neo Metal Sonic (as Metal Overlord) : Hahaha! Not even a scratch on me! I was designed to be this strong for an evolution like this to make me stronger! I am just getting started to take this seriously! But how about I give you a demonstration!

Sonic : Not good enough! This thing in Overlord form is super strong when it comes to this one in the storm! But it's one thing's for sure!

Tails : He's steady as she goes when he packs a punch!

"Two more Team Blast attacks later..."

Knuckles : Man he's tough for one giant robot!

Tails : I can't say enough that he manage to be still invincible in that form! We gotta crunch the numbers somehow!

Neo Metal Sonic ( as Metal Overlord) : When this is over, I'll overthrow my creator and start a robot kingdom over Planet Earth for my own conquest, and after that, there will be an army of clones to overthrow the governments of the real world! And when I do...I'll be unstoppable and I will conquer everything as the ultimate overlord there is! For you see, that I am...(we later cut to him in his original form on Final Fortress) defeated again?! Damn it! (Slams fist)

Sonic : Sorry! You snooze you loose! That's what you get locking up Eggman in that airship.

Metal Sonic : This is the real reason that I couldn't defeat you in that kind of form! It took me hours to combine that data and become the ultimate overlord in conquest! I had the chance of using data copy from what, Tac from Kirby? How can I rule the world when my creator notices that I started an uprising?! I only wanted rule the world as an overlord and that is it and got nothing else left in my system for years! And I would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for your meddling self and your vile friends that I do and do not even know!

Sonic : Hey, What is what it is. It's a win win after all, it's gonna be another rematch between you and me!

Metal Sonic : I'm going to regret you that in style! And when I do, I'll disguise myself as that robot from one of your spin off game and challenge you to a bloody pulp in the Olympics!

Egg Pawn : There he is, officers! That's the one who tricked us as pawns in a corrupt game! Take him away and put him on restrictions to reset his system! (The guards handcuffs Metal Sonic)

Metal Sonic : W-What?! (Looks at the handcuffs) Wait! Wait! There must be some kind of mistake! You gotta believe! You can't do this to me! Wait! (The guards drag him away) WAAAAAAIT!!!

Sonic : Well, guess that's the end of the road, for him. I wonder how the guys are doing back on Ohkubo's moon?

"Meanwhile on Ohkubo's moon..."

Ashley : Alright! Looks like we manage to stop the mad man for good!

Kaguya : Talking about cutting it close. I hope this is wearing your powers down, Asura Kusakabe! You finally got what you deserve! (Asura vanishes into a puff of smoke, leaving a Heartless Emblem behind)

Ashley : Well, What do you know? So I barely made to rest my opened case, that the Kishin Asura was a decoy after all. So the reason that you and Maka went all that trouble for a heartless doppelganger used as a decoy. It was nothing more than a puppet created from Asura's heart, that means the real Asura Kusakabe has been dead for a long time.

Kimial Diehl : So all of this time, The Kishin that Crona was going to become... wasn't going to become a Kishin at all?

Yami Bakura : Nope. It was all part of Demon Vibe's plan for galactic conquest.

Kimial : What?! Are you telling me-

Ashley: That the Kishin Asura-

Kaguya : Isn't really-

Everyone on Earth : -A God at all?!

Sora : Now I get it, So all this time that Maka went all that trouble for a phony God and he was Demon Vibe's pawn to his game to think he is an evil god.

Maka Albarn : Then...Then...That means...

Moirai Albarn : ...the Real Asura is dead? (Everyone pauses for a moment)

Maka & Moirai : (Realizing) HOLY CRAP!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT THE KISHIN GUY WAS A DOPPELGANGER CREATED BY THE REAL ONE!?! AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TO SAVE THE WORLD AND ALL WE DEFEATED WAS AN IMPOSTER POWERED BY A MANIAE SPIRIT?!? I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE STUPID GORGON WITCH SISTERS HAVE MADE US WASTED OUR LIVES FOR THAT STUPID KISHIN CRAP!!! IT'S SICKENS US AND IT'S A GOD DAMN DISGRACE!!!

Kaguya : But...But what about me?! I'm still a clown created by Shinra's grandson and I didn't even flinch nor I vanished into nothingness! Guess that means that I get to keep living on earth! If only there was a news station to catch this latest scoop, it would be pretty bummer to have this for a celebration or victory.

Fuse : That's exactly what we wanted to hear from you, detectives. Great job on defeating that imposter! We knew it all along from Channel 5

[Ulala's Swinging Report Show - Kenichi Tokoi]

Ashley : Who are they? And, what are they?

Kimial Diehl : Hold that thought! They're not Nintendo's, they're Sega representative. It's the Channel 5 News Crew!

(We then cut to Gurhal Channel 5 News)

Hal : Good evening! This is Hal from Gurhal Channel 5 news. Tonight we give you the latest stories from Real World AU that detectives to save this planet. The famous school-themed training facility Death Weapon Meister Academy was destroyed due to it's destruction by the Space Colony ARK's Eclipse Cannon, which led to the start of of this never-ending conflict called the War of Shadow Realm declared by criminal Mastermind, Neo Metal Sonic. Ulala?

Ulala : You said it, Hal. It has come to my attention that the so-called Kishin Asura has been exposed as a fake to designate the planet for complete destruction on all life on earth, has once again foiled the Yamis's plans by two detectives, Ashley and Kimial. Using their combine efforts to stop the criminal threats on corrupting the entire world, all of Asura's bad influence have been stopped, or should I say a heartless's influence would turn the world sour. How does that sound to villains like them, Fool us once, shame on them. Fool me twice, they'll spend time in Jail on Earth. How does that sound for a couple of card-playing losers like you all of the time.

Marik : [to Bakura] I told you that was a stupid idea! That was all nothing but misunderstandings!

Bakura : [To Marik] Bite me, ya mug! I have no interest from a grunt like you! I don't know if we even agree on using these heartlesses that determined for power-hungry numb nuts! Why did I ever did to deserve like this?

Marik : Same goes to you. I just happened that we're not even wearing space suits on the author's creepy ass cartoonish moon we're on.

Ulala : So, who says that this never-ending conflict is going to end pretty soon, once we get to earth for serving time at prison and get ourselves a little chat.

Necrodeus : I say that this war is not even over. I am going to make you suffer all, and I even bet that this corrupt game has officially changed, all to the rule world in Darkness!

Ulala : Huh, What are you...Hey, what's going on? Who are you!? No! stay back! I said "Stay back"! (TV BUZZING) AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Hal : Ulala, you there? Ulala, are you there? Did you get that? Hello, Ulala! What the heck is going on in here! Hey,no! What do you think you're doing?! What are those things?! (A Skullseer laughing evilly is heard) No! Don't come any closer! YAAAAAAAHHHH! *TV BUZZING*

Noize : ULALAAAAAAA!!!
