Bowser Jr was hanging out with Leo, Aris, and Grin the Gggggggggeeeeeeennnngggggaaaarrrrrr when he saw a bright light apper next to the palace. Bowser Jr could hear Glinda thank the hero's and congratulate them. "Well guys looks like our parents are back, well better get going wouldn't want Joshie, or you guys to get in trouble," Bowser Jr said about to leave the room. "Oh Joshie, I expect to see you real soon," Bowser Jr said as he closed the door.

Nobunaga gave a slight bow of respect to Queen Glinda, which probably shocked more than a few people present. "We had one casualty, but thankfully your healers were able to evac him in time. Since you seem to have an understanding of the situation already, I won't bother reporting in. But what do you intend to do about the Ephesians' Outlander? I can sense his power even from here Queen Glinda, and I can guarantee you that is no normal dragon. Sending in a bunch of normal troops would just result in a bloodbath, and I expended too much energy in the battle against Mason. I need a couple days to recuperate."

"Yes. I've heard", said Glinda. Her expression was worried. "I currently have an elite force near the area of Yggdrasil. Their leader, Alexus, was about to attack soon, but I expect that the sudden presence of the dragon will cause him to take time to prepare further. I know not what actions will be taken from there aside from scouting patrols being sent to survey the situation. Should you or the other Outlanders be willing to grant support when the time to strike comes, it would be greatly appreciated."
Glinda then turned to address the stranger amongst the Outlanders' midst. "Greetings to you. I am Glinda, queen of Yuleia. I do not believe I have seen you before. Are you a recent arrival to this world?"
"Yeah, yeah", said Joshua dismissively. He addressed Aris and Leo next.
"So... What's your dad's name?" he asked. "If you're as overprotective as you say, I want to be on my best behavior."

Leo started to respond, but Aris quickly stops him. "Nobunaga," she answers. "Large, imposing man wearing a mask. Kinda can't miss him."
She turns towards the window, and her entire face brightens with relief and happiness as she senses her father. "Speaking of... He's back!"

June drops to a knee. Marth copies her movement, raising a hoof and bowing his head. "Forgive my impertinence, Queen Glinda. I am June, a knight sworn to Carcina. When I first appeared, I, er... crashed into a tree and lost consciousness, so I can't say for sure how long I've been here. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but from what I've seen and what's been said, I... assume this is not my world?"

"You assume correctly", said Glinda, gesturing to June to be at ease. "I have much to explain to you, then. However, I have one bit of urgent business to attend to. Forgive me, but may I ask that you wait a short while? You may wait in the throne room for the time being."
Glinda then moved to the side to address the other Outlanders. "You may all rest in the throne room as well; the people currently tending to your wounds shall escort you. We shall have personal quarters arranged for you all shortly. If you require anything, ask and they shall be provided to the best of our abilities."
Glinda moved to Vincent's side as the other Outlanders were escorted into the Palace.
"I must confess something about your children", she muttered to him, her voice low. "That Joshua individual appeared to have encountered your children at some point while you were away. The time could have potentially become dangerous, so I allowed him to stay with them as a protector in the worse case scenario while you returned. Do not be alarmed if you still see him with them."
After having a minor leg injury healed, Irving briefly paused from entering the palace to glance at Nobunaga. Seeing him having a private conversation with Glinda, Irving scowled slightly before allowing himself to be escorted to the throne room.
"That's a mouthful", commented Zoroark from the peanut gallery. "I'll just call him Naga."
Joshua couldn't help but smile at seeing Aris's expression as she looked out the window. He looked out alongside her to see the masked figure speaking privately to the Queen.
So wait, he's their father? Then how'd Leo turn out the way he is?

Nobunaga's face suddenly darkened considerably. While the difference couldn't be seen beneath his mask, the abrupt shift in his eyes and the palpable tension emanating from him definitely could be. Without another word to Glinda, he vanished, and reappeared a split second later, in front of Joshua. His children instantly threw themselves into his arms, and he hugged them tightly.
Then, he stepped back and turned to Joshua. "Wait outside," he commanded, his tone allowing no argument. "I wish to be alone with my children. I will deal with you after."
Aris's eyes widened. "Wait, father, he didn't-"
"I know, my girl. But that doesn't change anything. Don't worry. I will not harm him."
But I will do what I must to keep you two safe.

Oh dear.
Glinda knew to expect a word from him afterward. For now, however, Glinda waited until the Outlanders were escorted inside until she entered herself and turned the opposite hallway, intending to take the time available to her to search for someone.
Lana... Where did you go?
Joshua raised his open hands defensively.
"Okay, okay", he said. "We're going, don't worry."
Joshua held the door open as he let his Pokemon through. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the wall next to the door with his hands behind his back.
"P-Papa?" stuttered Rotom. "H-He looked..."
Don't be scared. Joshua lightly patted Rotom in the head. He wants us to be scared. Just stay calm and he'll likely stop when he realize it won't work. Besides, we've been through scarier, right?

"Dad, he really didn't do anything," Aris assures him. "In fact, Mister Joshua helped us and was really kind."
Vincent removed his mask and pulled his daughter back into his arms. "I know, Aris. It's not him I'm worried about."
He looks over at his son and motions for him to join. Leo scoots over and Vincent pulls his son into his arms as well. "Are you both alright? Forgive me for leaving you alone."
"We're fine daddy," Aris says quietly, beaming widely. "We believe in you, daddy. So there's nothing to apologize for."
Vincent closes his eyes and nods, reluctantly letting his children go and standing up. He smiles and ruffles his boy's hair. "I'll be here for the next couple of days, but I'll be busy. So you behave, you little scamp. I know, why don't I bring you back a souvenir from town? Would you like that, my Lion cub?"
Leo's face lit up like a star. "That would be totally awesome! But it better be something cool!"
Vincent laughs. "Totally. I'll bring you both back the best this world has to offer. Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back."
He hugs his children again, then replaces his mask and turns around, before they could see the unshed tears forming in his eyes. He walked outside, closed the door behind him, and turned to Joshua, his entire demeanor changing.
"Who else knows? Have you told anyone else?" He demands softly.

"I haven't told anyone else", said Joshua simply. "And obviously, the Queen knows."

Bowser Jr just as he was turning the cornered saw a flash of light and Josh getting kicked out. Bowser Jr began to sniker at what has happened and made his way to the throne room.
"Cia, Cia I miss you so much why did this have to happen to you?" Lana sobbed as she was holding Charlie tightly. Charlie sensing Lana's sorrow licked her to try and cheer her up.
"Please white hair slightly older Peach it might have been to much for lord minion face over there, but yours truly was able to chase away some mage with wings," Bowser proclaimed proudly. "Yeah some mage named Valgorth or something though he could defeat me with some lighting, but I went giant on him and caused him to run away like the loser he is," Bowser said. "Anyways next time those chumps want to pick a fight they will have to answer to yours truly," Bowser said full of pride.
Then there was talk about a dragon that has made the world tree its home. "Honestly, what's the big deal about a wanna be Bowser?" Bowser asked. "All you losers can cower before this supposed dragon but if he's anything like lord minion face he shall taste defeat by my awesome claws, Gwa ha ha," Bowser says. "Anyways see ya, chumps later," Bowser said leaving the room.
Kamek just facepalmed and sighed at Bowser's latest rant. "Ms Glinda let me apologize for his rather unbecoming behavior," Kamek said. "Anyways this young lady Aylssa is passed out from all the I think she said mana she had to expand," Kamek said. "Where can we put her and sell I guess we can leave once we get Kammy, and Bowser Jr," Kamek said to Glinda. "Wouldn't want to cause you any more trouble then we already have," Kamek said.
Location; IIntermarry Bed.
Baron having received a steady helping of blood backs and rest has started feeling a little better, and as he sat up he could see Catie sitting in the chair fast asleep with her head on the bed. Sam was curled up by the feet of Baron sound asleep. Baron placed a kiss on Catie's forehead. "Sorry Sam, Catie I thought I grown so much since these past 7 years butr turns out I am that same fool from when I was younger," Baron said upset about what happened.

Glinda forced herself to stop as the... uh... Outlander walked over to talk to her about Alyssa's condition.
"She can rest in our medical wing as she recovers", said Glinda. Two of the healers picked up the unconscious woman and placed her on a stretcher to take her elsewhere. "But if I may ask, why do you want to leave? Ignoring that we may be able to bring you and your friends back to your homes if you remain here, you have been no burden for us at all. On the contrary, you have already eased a grave problem from our own shoulders!" She smiled. "We would gladly appreciate your continued presence here within the Queendom!"

"Okay Ms. Glinda as long as your okay, with our presence here," Kamek said getting ready to leave.
Before Kamek left for the throne room, he had one more thing to say to Glinda. "It's funny Ms. Lana said the same exact thing when we first arrived here," Kamek said. "Despite well our, appearance and well the, olafs behavior, she was still very inviting," Kamek told Glinda. "When you see her tell her thanks for taking in a couple of old Magikoopas in, and Bowser and Bowser Jr," Kamek said hoping unto his broom and heading towards the throne room.

June pulls one of the soldiers aside. "The queen said I could relay any requests through you, correct?"
The soldier nods.
"Are you ready? It's a rather sizable list."
The soldier grins proudly. "I'm sure I can handle a few things."
"Very good. Almost none of my equipment was brought to this world, so I'll need quite a bit of that. A knife, bow, and heal staff - physic-type, preferably, or mend. Medicine, and I prefer concoctions. And a few pouches to help carry things. Aside from weaponry, I need some basic supplies. Travel provisions, rations and the like, for one. Combs, brushes, that sort or thing, and at least one change of clothes. Civilian. Something you'd see a normal villager wearing, something that won't stand out. My horse has been stuck in his armor for quite some time, and he needs tending. He's been grazing, but I don't know if he's been watered. I'd prefer to do it myself, but I need attend the queen's speech. Ah, which reminds me, it feels like I've not eaten in quite some time. Have a meal delivered to me, if you would. Something light, since it looks like I'll be heading back into battle soon. Some bread and a small portion of meat, well-salted, with a large flagon of water. Ah... Oh, yes. It won't be necessary now, but in the long-term, I'll need access to a skilled armorer, one who can tend to this." She motions to her dress. "Oh! And about those strange weapons the ogres were using. I see you carry something similar. I'd like to learn their capabilities in greater detail. Please schedule a session for me with your training captain. I'll also need to learn more about this land. I'll need you to find a tutor for me, someone who can cover basic geography - I'd like a few maps included with those provisions, by the way - history, and politics. And a veteran who can teach me the various monsters I'm liable to encounter. Appearances, locations, strengths, weaknesses. I'll also need to learn the basic formations and tactics used by your army and the... Ephesians, was it? Hm... That should be sufficient to start. Did you get all that?"
The soldier nods, a bit dumbstruck.
"Excellent." June presents the soldier with Marth's reins. "His name is Marth, by the way. His favorite treat is alfalfa." With that, June turns and strides into the palace.
As the soldier watches her leave, Marth leans in from behind the soldier and impatiently snorts in his ear.

"So no one else knows?" Nobunaga asks Joshua again, his eyes narrowing. "I need you to tell me the truth, boy. Understand?"

"Boy" he says. First I get called an old fart, and now I'm being called a child! I'm in my twenties, dammit!
Joshua looked Nobunaga in the eye. "No one else."

Nobunaga stares him in the eyes, then after a very long moment, he nods. "Very well. I will take your word for it. However... Until I have a higher standing in this country, and understand more about the people, the safety of my children is dependant on their secrecy. If I find you have lied, and my children are endangered as a result, then your life is forfeit. No power in the entire Multiverse will save you from my wrath. Even weakened as I am, I could erase you from existence with a mere wave of my hand. Do we have an understanding?"

Joshua sighed. "Yes, yes, you're intimidating and can swallow planets, I get it. No need to threaten me, especially when I was going to keep this a secret regardless."
I'm even sacrificing my food portions to do so.

Nobunaga inclined his head to Joshua, seemingly satisfied with that answer. Without another word, he walked away, down the hallway towards the throne room. He happened to pass by a soldier, and stopped him.
"Where can I find the Queen?"
The soldier hastily snapped to attention. "L-Last I saw Sir, Her Majesty was heading down the Royal Wing. Erm... It-it's the hallway opposite of this one, Sir."
Nobunaga gave the soldier his thanks, and hurried after Queen Glinda. He didn't run, though he didn't need to. His strides were long and quick. In only a few moments, he had already caught up to her.
"Queen Glinda! I would have a word with you," he called out to her, as he walked up to her side.

Joshua stood where he was for about a minute.
...Am I done here?
"Was it truly wise to fib?" asked Ditto.
I never directly told Jr. about the kids and I understood that the kids are a secret and that he'll kill me if they're endangered. So really, I knly lied one out of three times.
Joshua thought about peeking inside the room to see if "Naga" was inside, but decided against it and began walking away.
Glinda, greatly worried for her daughter, was still unsuccessful at finding her. She was walking briskly around the palace in search for her when she was approached by Nobunaga. She forced herself to slow down and allow him a chance to speak with her.
"You may," said Glinda.
