Valeria was leaning against the wall in one of her favorite bars, El Diablo. She was wearing a black t-shirt with white shorts, high thigh stockings, white sneakers, and a yellow flower on the side of her hair. She looked down on the ground with a sad look on her face as she remembered the day that she fought against the Great Guardian and the Grim Reaper.

Valeria: [Snaps back to reality] "Sorry about that, I was just lost in my thoughts. Trying to remember something that happened ten years ago is hard, you know?" [Chuckles and Clears throat] "If the Great Guardian hadn't appeared, our lives might have been different. For me, it wasn't about flying or ideals. Most of all, it was about him, my flight lead." [The scene shows a flashback of the operation] "Our mission was simple, we had to escort the Dreadnaught that was an act of transportation for the origination... But just when things were going our way, The Great Guardian appeared... as if to block our paths." [Shudders] "And the Grim Reaper... I'll never forget his overwhelming power. One by one, my comrades were shot down. To this day... I can still hear the cries of my comrades as he picked them off... However, The Great Guardian was different... and he saved me from the Reaper. However, in the end, the mother bird that we were supposed to protect was shot down..."

She re-adjusts herself as she put her hands into her pockets as she started to remember her flight lead, Espada 1, and what they did after they were shot down. 

Valeria: [Smiles] "We survived after the fight. We left our organization and returned to the ground together. But those hearts are in the sky... will always return to the sky..." [Pulls out a picture of her and her captain together] "He was one of them, and so he left, even though his wounds had yet to heal..." [tearing up] "and he died there... never to return to me..."

Valeria was starting to tear up and the reporter offered her some tissue to wipe them away before she resumed the interview.

Valeria: [Sniffs and chuckles] "Sorry about that... It's just that I miss him so much." [Looks at the reporter] "Do I blame anyone? No, I don't blame anyone. The regret and suffering that remained after that battle... were also what he had given me. They're among the precious few things that he left behind. I guess... that's why he let me live."

****

It was a peaceful afternoon in the Town of Noctis as the reporter and the cameraman walked into the cemetery and walked past the tombstones. They were looking for a very specific one that they were told about. After a few minutes of searching, the cameraman found it and kneeled down on the soft grass, zooming in on the small tombstone with his Camera. The name, birth date, and date of death were engraved on the stone.

"Anthony Pachenkov. 1990 - 2021"

The cameraman noticed a mysterious saying engraved at the bottom of the Dead man's name.

"THE GATE TO THE NEW WORLD HAS FINALLY BEEN OPENED. MY SOUL SHALL BE THE WIND THAT ENTERS THE GATE. WHEN THE SLEEPING KING AWAKES, MY BODY TOO SHALL SURELY RISE"

He's been missing for some time, along with Captain Mephesto from the Heartless Airforce, since the decisive Battle of Moana. Captain Mephesto is rumored to be one of the founding members of "The Legion of Tartarus". Wilde's ties with the Captain have led to believe that he was a high-ranked individual within the group. Years later, he made up for his sins and served many hours in community service. Some believe that he has seen the Great Guardian himself. Today, he's the first fox to become mayor of Zootopia.

****

Judy Hopps, the Chief of the ZPD, escorted the cameraman and the reporter to Wildes' office as she was carrying a small box of blue barriers. After entering the office, Judy dropped off the blueberries and kissed Wilde on the cheek before leaving, the cameraman set up his camera, and the reporter was ready to listen to Mr. Wildes's story. 

Nick: [Smirks as he drinks his cup of coffee] "Wow... To actually believe that you came all the way here to see me. I admire your determination and courage young one. Let's get started shall we?" [Puts the coffee aside as he rested his arms on his desk] "Oh, you mean him? Heh, "Great Guardian" was right. Everything he touched disintegrated into ashes. I thought I was watching magic. When I was in the ZPD, they called me a hotshot. I got medals for my actions on the call for duty. I'd never fell fear to an opponent. Hell, I wasn't even afraid to take on the entire cartel." 

Nick was playing with his fingers before his expression turned stone cold. 

Nick: [Sad expression] "But one day, everything changed. When I was walking back from work, I was jumped by six unknown strangers as they held me down and strapped a taming collar on me. It got me in a state where I forgot who I was. Since that day, I couldn't remember anything that I did... or the actions that I have committed. However, I do remember the battle over P7R against the Great Guardian and his loyal knights. Now that's something to remember... When I was fighting him... something definitely felt different. At first, I didn't know what it was." [Gets up and looks at the Zootopian skyline with his hands behind his back] "It wasn't until I noticed that my hands shaking on flight stick that I realized... it was fear."

He looked at Skyline with a stone-cold look on his face as he was upset to admit the truth. However, when he looked up into the clouds, he thought he was hallucinating. A black and red T-70 x-wing was quietly flying over the city for a second before it quickly disappeared into a realm portal. He formed a slight smile on his face before he sat down on his chair.

Nick: [Sighs and sits back down] "True be told, it's embarrassing to admit it. But as soon as I felt that, I couldn't fly nor join the ZPD anymore. I felt guilt toward the batards who actually thought they could beat the Great Guardian. There was no way in hell they were gonna beat him." [Smiles] "There's always a war in the outer realms and I'm sure he and his knights are on some battlefield fighting right now. They'll always be that beacon of hope..."

- Interview #8 -

- The Revolutionist -

- The Underworld Federal Prison of Northern Tartarus -

- November 11th, 2031 -

Joshua Mephesto. Former Captain of the Heartless Airforce. 32nd Air Division, 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron. His actions during the Heartless War are surrounded in mystery. And he is rumored to be one of the founding members of "The New Order" and "The Legion of Tartarus". His whereabouts were unknown after the decisive Battle of Moana. But several years later, he resurfaced as a leader of a terrorist organization. Today he is serving time in prison.

****

Mephesto was behind iron bars in his cell at Tartarus's most secured prison in the underworld. His cell was labeled "Dangerously unstable and untrustworthy". He is one of the craziest and most mentally ill prisoners in the entire complex. He shaved not long ago as he was getting ready to look good for his interview with the reporter.

Mephesto: [Leans against the wall with Devilish Grin] "Well. Well. Look who made it to see me. I was wondering when you will show up. You're a pretty little thing. Let's get started shall we?" 

The Reporter sat down, along with the cameraman as they looked at Mephesto with disgust. They hated his guts.

Mephesto: [Sighs and smiles] "This Darkness and that little window are my entire world now. I actually quite like it. The Darkness surrounds me in a limitless world... basically, A world with no boundaries." [Looks at the Reporter] "Oh him? Well, He was the reason why the New Order was unable to change Disney. However, he was not the reason why The Legion of Tartarus failed to change the Underworld. A wise man once said this. No matter what the desired outcome is, a world or multiverse could still change as long as people expand their knowledge and desire change. Disney today, has already changed from what it was back then..."
