When Drake's mech struck, it would be the final blow to the enemy, as Walpurgisnacht screamed one final time, then began fragmenting, dissolving completely except for a small, white 'bead' of what looked like ivory, which Kyoko rushed to catch, whooping in joy at her 'acquisition'. Natasha, meanwhile, might end up disappointed that Walpurgisnacht [i]didn't[/i] have a heart...

"Anyone hurt?!" cried out Tocsax. "Despite all the effort we had to spend, we succeeded - we succeeded!" A look at Ryteb, then he would continue:

"You were great, Ryteb! You and Seth were awesome! Same for you, Drake! Now," the Nobody said, panting, "we need to rest, and of course, prepare for the next world..."

Once the group got back to the Gummi Ship, they would be allowed to rest and eat, and then sleep. The next day, however, a set of books would be sent to their quarters, detailing the next world, that of Panem.

Panem was basically the 'United States' of the Original Earth after a vaguely-described, but apolcayptic event that destroyed most of humanity. Centred around The Capitol, a mountain city and fortress filled with high technology, Panem ruled over twelve, once thirteen, Districts, each of whom were dedicated to a single area of production; District 1 produced luxury goods, while District 12 extracted coal from the Earth. A long time ago, there were thirteen Districts, but the ill-fated District 13 had led a widespread rebellion against The Capitol, and gotten 'crushed' for its trouble (the truth was, though, that it was allowed to go its own way as long as it did not interfere in the rest of Panem).

Either way, after the revolt of the Districts, the Capitol had decreed a most unique punishment for the former rebels; every year, each District is to send two teenagers from the ages of 12 and 18 as 'Tributes' to compete in the 'Hunger Games', a competition in which each tribute are sent off to a closed area of wilderness...and then ordered to kill each other, with the winner being allowed to live in comfort in their own district. And so it has been for the better part of a century.

But now, things were about to change, as the Tributes from District 12, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Meelark, managed to trick the Capitol into letting them [i]both[/i] win the current round of Hunger Games, showing that its rules were not as ironclad as they seemed to be. This subtle act of defiance has newly emboldened the Districts, who were now plotting another rebellion. And that is where the group came in, for the Princess of Heart was Katniss' [i]sister[/i], Prim Everdeen, and the mission was to rescue her from the Capitol and the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness.

The group would finally appear in the orbit of Panem's Earth...only to find themselves facing a fleet of black-and-white Gummi Ships, centred around a space station made up of shining metal that looked like steel, but was much tougher. This was Space Station 13, the private domain of David Galic, one of the Seekers of Darkness and who had control over the Human Form. Video feeds would then be sent to the Ruler of the Sea, showing the Capitol and Districts being occupied by legion upon legion of troops, the majority of them infantrymen clad in meta-material gear, but there were also many, many squads of power armored men and women, as well as tanks, hovering gunships, and of course, cyborgs.

"A combined force from the Fallout: Apocalypse Averted world and Space Station 13 itself," spoke Tocsax as the two fleets of Gummi ships exchanged fire. "Damnit, Panem was supposed to be easier!"
