After the Olympics
Leiel the Nordic Lion: (narrating in English) Hello; this is Leiel the Nordic Lion speaking, and the nation I represent, if you haven't guessed it by my name, is Norway. What we have here is just a recap showing what happened after the Olympics came to an end last month, starting with the victory party we held in Norway. Why there? Norway had the most total medals and the most gold, with 37 total and 16 gold. It did not, however, top the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang, where we had 39 total medals with 14 gold.
We also tip our hats to the United States; they got off to such a bad start, but they redeemed themselves and fought back valiantly. However, they ended up in fifth place with 24 medals, behind us, the ROC (Russian Olympic Committee), Germany, and Canada. They had more gold than Canada did, so they got back Machas Seal Island due to the agreements we have going, where whoever does the best at the Olympics get to claim the disputed island or territory until the next Olympics finishes. Canada, however, topped their women's hockey team to win gold, so they were just as happy.
In case we didn't say so, the ROC wasn't allowed to keep any of their medals due to the WADA rulings, but Leonid and the IOC worked out a compromise to allow them to keep the cash prizes that go with those medals. Thus, the ROC men's hockey team wasn't as bothered as one might expect, because they didn't beat Finland in the final. As a result of the scandals and issues (as well as discovering how Vladimir Putin would have invaded Ukraine), nobody wanted anything to do with Russia.
Leonid the Cold Lion: (narrating in English) Don't get me wrong. Russia under me has seen its quality of living improve drastically, but we are suffering because we're completely cut off from the outside world. There are no imports or exports allowed. There are no trades or tariffs. There are no exchanges with the World Bank and the banking systems. Our ruble's value is practically worthless. And you may have heard of the Great Wall of China, but now, we have the Great Wall of Russia, which was completed in record time by both Russians and the people bordering them. On top of it all, after the coach who forced the 15-year-old girl to dope died, she and her family all escaped to the United States, which to us was a big punch in the nose. Her mom's declaration to Super C also went viral: "Literally no nation gets right except one: yours!"
At least, that was how life was supposed to be, but under me, everything I just said virtually didn't happen. There really are trades and exports, and I got rid of all trade barriers so we can make all of Europe and Asia thrive better. (Moscow is on the European side, so Europe is my contienent.)
Super C: (narrating) The U.S. still has its own problems; there are things we have done wrong and have been held accountable for, but this lady was refering to one's system of government and how it works, as well as a multitude of other factors, when she proclaimed, "Literally no nation gets it right but yours!" Leonid was sad to see them go, but at the same, it seemed everybody wanted to leave Russia. Somebody still has to live there, but the humans were fleeing like crazy, leaving only the Forsythians and other Russian furries who actually get it right. Sound familiar?
Leo the Patriotic Lion: (narrating) It does, because it's unintentionally helping CNG's ultimate agenda: get rid of all the humans. It keeps changing its agenda, however, so that when it finally gets what it wants, a world that operates just like Kriegland and does not pollute itself with cars, factories, or other things that pollute it, there's no more need for the G-52s. It thinks it has to reward the good as well as punish the bad, however, so it hasn't done what it wants to do with His Majesty, King Leo V of Kriegland, yet.
C.K./King Leo: (narrating) It wants to kill me because had my reign gone longer than 3 years, I would have fought to modernize us to keep up with the modern times, because I was tired of being so far behind as a result of morals preached from what ultimately turned out to be false doctrine. But it hasn't done so yet, and it doesn't help it is fighting its own civil war with itself. With the double standards it is enforcing, it can create itself out of nothing, but it also self-destructs just as easily.
Lennart the Viking Lion: (narrating in English) This goes back to what we said before about simply mentioning my name, and it self-destructs by melting, just as ice melts into water. It's saddening, it's disrespectful to me, and it's just plain creepy. Yet it is the most effective weapon we've got right now, and it is a nonviolent method of defeating the CNG. So I have to live with it.
In any event, let's skip to the highlight reel now. Let's also start by reminding all of you that the Dutch, now having control of Jeff Bezos's superyacht that they seized after egging it, successfully converted it into a massive warship. Now that's how you recycle!
*Later, we go to Norway to join their victory party. The country is very busy as athletes are busy signing up for sponsorship deals to feature themselves in advertising.*
*Norway*
Chuong: *Eats some gravlax, a smoked salmon dish.* Mmmm; Norwegian smoked salmon. The best of its kind.
Glass Wing: We got salmon caviar as well for those who are interested.
Chuong: Ooooh! I love them!
Glass Wing: Don't forget to leave some for the others. We also have some sushi there, too.
Civilian 1: *In Norwegian* Once again we conquered the Winter Olympics!
Civilian 2: *In Norwegian* We are awesome!
Civilian 3: *In Norwegian* I wish those Americans better luck next time. They had to fight hard just to get to the top five, but they got there in the end.
Civilian 4: *In Norwegian* Leiel! Leiel! Welcome home! I hope you're enjoying this party!
*The Netherlands*
*Engineers discover that the seized superyacht is modular, and that despite insurance labeling it as a total loss, mainly due to stuff being tossed around inside during the storm, the boat is easily repairable, if any damages are seen, which are very minor. The superyacht is successfully converted into a futuristic naval warship for the Royal Dutch Navy.*
Soldier 1: *In Dutch* It's so beautiful!
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* The most beautiful warship I've ever laid my eyes upon.
Soldier 3: *In Dutch* And it's faster than ever! It's a very fancy warship. First floor is a garage for the small military vehicles so the captain can deploy their troops on ground level at the beach.
Soldier 4: *In Dutch* The control room looks like something from a science fiction film with the holographic projector. That ship looks like one of those alien naval ships from another planet.
Soldier 5: *In Dutch* Isaac! Enjoying yourself in there?
Isaac: *In Dutch* I sure am! I can't wait to show Ludo this! *He goes out to find Ludo and speaks in Dutch.* There you are! Remember when you told our government that you don't want Bezos' superyacht? *Ludo nods.* We discovered it to be not only modular, but has an extremely tough unibody. So our military decided to convert the superyacht into one of the world's most beautiful warships the world has ever seen. We replaced the interior and the ship works like it's brand new. It's even faster, too. Repair work was very quick since they're so minor, they're not easily noticeable. Come. Let me show you this warship. *He leads Ludo to the warship as Dutch naval soldiers and officers attend with them.*
Soldier 6: *In Dutch* Looks like something from a science fiction film doesn't it?
Soldier 7: *In Dutch* Like what you see?
Ludo the Merchant Lion: (narrating in English) A big storm came to my rescue, preventing me from bellowing, so I instead had to protect people from the weather. It also destroyed the bridge the mayor had modified so the boat could come through, so I was holding him and the local government accountable for that. However, if somebody wants me in charge, I'd in charge of the entire country.
*Seattle, WA, USA*
Civilian 1: I hope Bezos is proud of himself, because his boat got converted into a warship for the Royal Dutch Navy.
Civilian 2: I saw some images of it from the news; it's way more advanced than I thought it would be!
Civilian 3: Huge boats should only be built for the military like that.
*Moscow, Russia*
Politician 1: *In Russian* I wouldn't underestimate the Dutch. They just turned a modular superyacht into a futuristic warship.
Politician 2: *In Russian* Who knows what's in it? Our navy is so behind!
Politician 3: *In Russian* Now we got to do something about these doping cases! We lost our sponsorship deals with western athletic companies. Heck, even Chinese companies will not sponsor our athletes in their advertising. The Americans and their allies are grinding us over the doping scandals. In fact, the world basically submitted requests to WADA to either revert their ban on us to 4 years or enforce an indefinite ban on us.
Politician 4: *In Russian* Now the Germans are drilling us hard over these doping scandals.
*Germany*
*Warlord Wolf helps his friends set up and assemble a Carnival parade float criticizing Russia's doping scandals. The parade float has an effigy of an overly muscular bodybuilder flexing his muscles with a syringe to his right arm complete with an upside-down Russian flag behind it. Warlord Wolf's team members snickers at their work together.*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* There! Looks really great! I think this will bring some attention when Carnival begins.
Civilian 1: *In German as he snickers.* What a caricature! Thanks for contributing to this project!
Civilian 2: *In German* This Carnival is going to be a riot!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of how Luitpold will react to this, even though we are just following traditions and norms here in Germany.
Civilian 3: *In German* Don't worry about what he's going to think. We have to address these issues, especially during Carnival!
Civilian 4: *In German* Especially with filthy Russian doping cheaters to Bezos' enormous superyacht that matches the size of his ego.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* But the Dutch converted his boat into a warship because it was modular, complete with an extremely tough unibody shell.
Civilian 4: *In German* So what? Space is a limited resource and this is the time where less is more! People shouldn't be that greedy, you know! You can live a luxurious and rich life without taking up that much darn space!
*Another group of civilians are building a parade float with an effigy of Bezos' superyacht complete with a caricature of Bezos' head on top of it with an exaggerated smile.*
Civilian 5: *In German* Nice one, guys!
Civilian 6: *In German* Ready for Carnival!
*Norway*
Leiel: *in Norwegian* I am enjoying the party; I send my congratulations to all the athletes to who won a medal, not just ours.
*He translates.*
Cripto: The gravlax is great.
Doughty Dog: I'm enjoying this.
*Our communicators beep.*
Leo: Oh, it's Ludo. He says because nobody wanted the superyacht that Bezos owned, it's now under the ownership of the Royal Dutch Navy, and it's a highly sophisticated warship.
Super C: Whoa; they really all out on that one!
D.W.: Hey, Moon Moon; what do you think of that?
*The Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Whoa; I'm impressed! Why waste it when you can save it? This is amazing! Let me take some pictures of this.
*He does so, and then sends them to everybody via the G-52 app.*
*Russia*
*Leonid says silent prayers about the other nations drilling Russia over the doping, and that nobody will blame him for anything.*
*Germany*
Civilian 7: *in German* Are you okay with this, Luitpold?
Luitpold the Germanic Lion: *in German* I think I have to be. Me doing those PSAs telling you all to stop griping about the Russians when you should be focusing on your own lives first was a big mistake on my part. Or was it? I just was tired of hearing about it day in and day out. Complaints get you nowhere in life, people. In any event, be safe as you do this, especially when you get to the part where you destroy these floats. That always makes me really nervous.
*Norway*
Chuong: Wow; that ship is going to make the Americans and Danes jealous!
Jill: It's like something off of a science fiction movie.
Jack: Looks like The Netherlands is ramping up their secret arsenal. Nobody is going to want to mess with them now!
Juno: The AIRAF is going to think twice now, since the last thing they want to deal with is that.
Zax: Looks more like a support-type for a ship, but even if that is the case, it's not something that should be messed with.
Civilian 1: The Germans gave us some of their finest wursts for our barbecue as a gift for being number one in this year's Olympics. *He starts placing some wursts on the grill.*
Zax: Oh, hey; they gave us those when we won the Olympics back in Japan.
Civilian 2: Good thing we got some mustard for this.
Civilian 3: I got some Chinese hot mustard if you want some.
Chuong: But that stung my nose and brain from the inside!
Civilian 3: That's because you're supposed to use less of those. Not to mention, there's a reason why this particular bottle is smaller than the other mustard bottles. When it comes to hot mustard, the smaller the bottle, the spicier it is.
Chuong: From the looks of this one, it must be nuclear hot!
Civilian 3: That's because it is.
Zax: Funnily enough, I know a tiny American mustard company that's been breeding the spiciest mustard crops possible to the point that their bottles are smaller than phones and have a label on them in big bold letters that reads "Do not eat!" even though they're FDA approved for consumption. Somewhere on the label, it even has a statement saying that just because the FDA says its safe to eat doesn't mean you should eat it. Yet, their mustard sells, even though their founders don't want people buying their mustard simply because of how hot it is.
Glass Wing: Reverse psychology there; you tell people not to eat that mustard because its too spicy, but that only tempts people to eat it just to find out. Whatever those guys are doing, they're making an excellent business strategy by utilizing reverse psychology.
Zax: No wonder why overcharging their own products on top of warning people not to eat them don't work, since that only makes customers more curious. With the internet these days, people make review videos of them trying out expensive things to see if they're worth it.
Glass Wing: They also do dumb things to see if they will suffer the consequences of them despite, being warned not to do such things.
*The Netherlands*
*Blitz Fox takes a look at the ship and goes inside of it.*
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Hard to believe that this used to be Bezos' yacht.
Isaac: *In Dutch* We were so lucky to find out that it is modular; otherwise, we'd destroy it and it would be a waste.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Is that a hologram?
Isaac: *In Dutch* Yes, that is a holographic image of Earth.
Soldier 1: *In Dutch* Go ahead and play with it. You're going to love it!
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch as he utilizes the hologram.* Whoa... I can zoom in on any county for live data. *He zooms in on Germany and pulls up some data.* I see people are getting ready for Carnival; of course. It also allows me to access their public street cameras from here, too! *He pulls up a live video.* I see some guys showing off a Carnival parade float that appears to be in the works.
Now let's check on Russia from here. *He zooms out of Germany and views in on Russia before pulling up some data about it.* Well, Russia's economy is improving a lot under Leonid. But in some of the data, it still says that CNG, drug smuggling, and doping are still prevalent throughout Russia, despite improvements in their government.
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* Russia was a country that cared more about power than anything else. They're more of the "shoot first and ask questions later" society for a very long time, at least until now.
Soldier 3: *In Dutch* And that they valued quantity over quality for a long time, too.
Soldier 4: *In Dutch* In America, during times of peace, they have various gun companies that spend a majority of their resources in not only perfecting their guns, but also create new guns that are excellent in their own ways. Thus, they're always prepared for war without wasting their resources.
Soldier 5: *In Dutch* They're a global exporter of guns, military hardware, and even police hardware too. This ACR rifle is America's most popular assault rifle for a reason.
Soldier 6: *In Dutch* Or for the military at least. The M4 is a popular assault rifle for most police, but it seems that most police forces on Earth are turning to Israel for their X95s.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Sidearms matter, too, and even though the M&P 9mm is a popular choice, Sig Sauer's sidearms are incredible too. Blitz Fox, there's more to explore in this ship, so I think you should give others the chance to play with that.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* I was going to explore the other features here. *He follows the group to explore the other features in the ship as the other soldiers play with the hologram.* It's a very posh warship.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Warships today have to be posh and sophisticated just like the naval officers. CNG is discouraging ships and boats because they see ship and boats as environmental nuisances to the sea. So naval forces around the world have less ships than before yet are much more sophisticated and tougher than before. Today's ships are smaller these days too.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Always about quality over quantity where less is more. It's amazing how the "less is more" mindset can actually improve the military too.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Yes. It still amazes me how the world's largest military force only consists of volunteers who just happened to be well-equipped and well-trained.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* It's why the world looks up to the United States Armed Forces for ideas.
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* That's why we have safety procedures when that part comes along. As for that PSA, I doubt that would discourage our people from complaining about the Russian doping scandals. In fact, our people are well within their rights to complain loudly and constantly about this, because doping threatens the legitimacy of sports. The idea of international sports is about peaceful competition. These Russian athletes who are okay with doping have no concept of the idea that peaceful competitions are a thing.
Civilian 1: *In German* Honestly, WADA should've just kept the ban and keep Russia out. If they're not going to play fair, then there's no reason why they should compete against us.
Civilian 2: *In German* I'm just so happy and relieved that Leonid is now their president, so I don't have to worry about Putin being a jerk to the world. Leonid is making it much easier for Russia to help the world as well as letting America use their rail network to supply Europe more of their goods. I haven't seen food prices this low for a very long time.
Civilian 3: *In German* Not just that, but the prices of skincare products in Germany are so low, I've been buying them for myself quite often. It's really nice that Leonid decided to completely remove trade barriers so America and Korea can use their infrastructure to ship their skincare and beauty products to us a lot.
Civilian 4: *In German* Russia is the bridge that makes it easy to get goods from North America these days thanks to Leonid.
*Montreal, Canada*
*WADA's HQ gets inundated in requests to extend the ban on Russia for failure to prevent doping.*
WADA Staff 1: So the world is still complaining to us about Russia but thank the heavens Leonid is Russia's president.
WADA Staff 2: This will make it easier for us to assist the Russian government in cracking down on those involved in these doping scandals.
WADA Staff 3: Knowing Leonid, he will easily cooperate with us than to have us extend the ban. We know it's not his fault, but at least he will make it easier for us to cooperate with him on this.
WADA Staff 4: The IOC and us already emailed Leonid evidence about the doping scandals and we are ready to cooperate with him to put an end to this forever. His government will easily work with us on this.
*Norway*
Leo: I love the fact they put that boat to good use instead of letting it go to waste. I wonder what Bezos thinks about it?
Super C: Whatever it is, he's living with the consequences of it now.
*Netherlands*
*Ludo also goes inside the ship.*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Now this is more like it! And yes, that's exactly the country to turn to for an example: the United States. And you also speak the truth about CNG, because it sees warships, and warfare as a whole, as a way of destroying the environment.
*Dutch Drumbums begin playing military tunes in celebration of the warship.*
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Exactly; hats off to Leonid for success at those things. It's made my job as Chancellor a lot easier.
Civilian 2: *in German* How long do you plan to do that?
Luitpold: *in German* If I do another term after this one, that one will be the last one. I got the job resulting from an emergency, and not a proper election.
*Russia*
*Leonid does a live stream with the WADA staff.*
Leonid: *in English* What surprised me is how the ban successfully got shrunk to 2 years; I would have kept it and kept all our athletes out. None of this silly ROC business.
*Norway*
Jack: He probably won't care, because he's too rich.
Chuong: I just hope Leonid doesn't get emotional when Carnival begins, since Warlord Wolf and his pals made a parade float poking fun at Russia's doping scandals. Note that what they're doing with making these floats and destroying them with fireworks are considered norms in Germany.
*Netherlands*
Soldier 1: *In Dutch* It's why the ships are on reserve, and we use submarines to detect and destroy CNG.
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* Underwater drones, too.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Unfortunately, that's not a guarantee you'd be safe from CNG that way. They can sneak into the drones and once you get the drones back, next thing you know, you could unknowingly carry that stuff around.
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* But Denmark uses submarines to seek and destroy CNG. Lenarth does that too.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Easier said than done.
*Diaoyu Islands*
*Kishida, Ing-Wen, and Liu meet at the monument as American soldiers witness Chinese soldiers raising their flag on the monument for having the most gold medals in the Olympics against their opponents.*
American Soldier 1: So according to the medal count, these islands will be under China's ownership since they earned it. Any concerns?
Kishida: None at all.
Ing-Wen: It's yours, Liu. You earned it.
American Soldier 2: All right. Go ahead, China!
*The Chinese soldiers raise their flag on the monument as they perform their national anthem with their marching band equipment. They also sing in Chinese as well. After the performance, everybody applauds for China.*
*Montreal, Quebec, Canada*
WADA Staff 1: Don't worry about it, because the world is sending you anti-doping equipment and scanners.
WADA Staff 2: We're also developing a universal system that works as follows: if an athlete's doping test comes positive, every international sporting organization and their respective national sporting organization will be automatically notified. Now if they're on certain prescription medication because their doctors ordered them to be on them for medical reasons, that's different.
WADA Staff 3: We're not too concerned about marijuana, since they're not typically used in doping, but per common sense, we do advise athletes to not use them for recreational purposes. We are aware that doctors do precribe them in medicinal forms in some cases.
WADA Staff 4: We want to make sure that everybody who wants to compete go through a universal screening process to make sure they're not doping. With the anti-doping equipment you're getting, you should be fine, especially that you're now Russia's president.
*Norway*
Super C: If Leonid does lose his emotion control over that, that's a demerit. I think he's now concentrating on supporting the WADA ban.
*Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Indeed; CNG is able to create itself out of nothing. I think it's setting itself up for its eventual doom in the end, though. Even though it wants humanity extinct, it thinks it has to reward the good as well as punish the bad,
Soldier 1: *in Dutch* Do you know what happens if you mention the specific Norseman (Lennart)? Or was I not supposed to mention him?
Ludo: *in Dutch* We try not to mention Lennart's name because of the scary things he can do, but to answer your question, the C.I.D.F. found CNG destroys itself in a suicidal manner when he's around, or if somebody mentions his name. It's why CNG crimes have not happened in Sweden for quite some time now. I prefer we don't say his name, however, unless it's absolutely necessary, but you were just asking a question.
*Diaoyu Islands*
*Kyu and Ryo are also there to witness the raising of the flags.*
Ryo the Samurai Lion: Congratulations to you all.
*Russia*
Leonid: Thank you; I appreciate that. I'm also working with my new government to make the consequences way more severe for doping.
*Norway*
Chuong: A good move there! Russia is much easier to cooperate with thanks to him.
Civilian 1: Who wants some Norwegian roasted goat heads?
Civilian 2: We call them smalahove, and they're a national delicacy here.
Civilian 3: I know it's not for everybody. I don't like it myself. I'll stick to smoked salmon and grilled wursts.
Konrad: Roasted goat heads?
Civilian 4: *He opens the grill smoker to reveal the smalahove.* These?
Konrad: Uhm... No thanks.
Civilian 4: We understand. *He closes the smoker.*
*Netherlands*
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* But I wouldn't say Sweden is perfectly safe from the CNG crisis. CNG smugglers have ended up stranded in Greenland and Iceland before, despite being isolated countries. If it can happen there, it can happen here, and there. That hologram interface detects CNG anywhere in this world.
*Norway*
Super C: No, sorry; I'll pass.
Leo: I'll pass, too. That's normal for you, though, isn't it?
Leiel: Yes, it is.
*Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Good point; I just felt everybody should know there is another way to fight back, but just as a last resort, and that is to mention Lennart.
*Sweden*
*Lennart learns about how CNG is afraid of him.*
Civilian 1: *in Swedish* How do you feel about that?
Lennart: *in Swedish* That's actually disturbing. CNG is why I can do many of the things I can do, but apparently when it gave me my powers, it didn't know who I was or my tainted history. It doesn't surprise me, though. Even undead creatures such as mummies flee for their lives upon the mention of me. It makes me even more embarrassed that I had the meltdown over the AIRAF. Everybody keep your guards up; you never know when that stuff is going to strike. It may fear me and commit suicide because of me, but it also creates itself out of nothing. It's been terrorizing the world ever since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
*Norway*
*Some of the party hosts pass around trays of salmon sushi for everybody.*
Civilian 1: *In Norwegian* Salmon sushi, modern Norwegian Japanese cuisine.
Civilian 2: *In Norwegian* Most of these used smoked salmon. The raw ones are over there.
Chuong: Oh, so sushi is a party tray dish here, it seems.
Glass Wing: They're typically party dishes in Norway, yes.
*Netherlands*
Isaac: *In Dutch* If it worked every time, the CNG crisis would be over.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* If only... But that would never happen. Remember, it's unpredictable, so there's no guarantee.
*Sweden*
Elias: *In Swedish* I guess Sweden is not going to have an all-volunteer military like the United States soon, then. The Riksdag were right to say that it's better to keep partial conscription here, anyways.
Civilian 2: *In Swedish* People think Greenland and Iceland are perfectly safe from this, but that's not true. Even worse is that those countries lack the resources, should a CNG crisis wreck their nations and have to rely on Denmark's navy for prevention.
Elias: *In Swedish* As long they have bomb shelters, they will be fine.
*Finland*
*Mikko (Finnish male blue fox UN1024), and two military snipers capture 50 Russian illegal immigrants at the border. They originally attempted to capture 100 Russian illegal immigrants, but half of them are CNG smugglers who died as a result of their actions, leaving the other half surviving; the other half are discovered to be drug smugglers.*
Mikko: *In Finnish as he and his squad brings the criminals to Leku and other troops.* Special delivery to Leku the Silent Lion! Look what illegally passed through our borders with Russia!
Soldier 1: *In Finnish* How did the three of you capture that many criminals?
Soldier 2: *In Finnish* Good heavens...
Mikko: *In Finnish* CNG and drug smuggling. They want to attempt combined methods of CNG and drug doping on their targeted athletes. They're also charged for human trafficking in Russia.
Soldier 3: *In Finnish* They're worse than those Belorussian coaches!
Soldier 4: *In Finnish* Leku! Any words for them before we send them back to Russia?
*Russia*
*Words about the Finnish arrests of the Russian illegals make headlines. FIFA staff connect to Leonid on webcam chat.*
FIFA Staff 1: Hey, Leonid. I hope you're enjoying your presidency, but we were looking at the complaints about the doping scandals in your country by WADA, and we know it's not your fault.
FIFA Staff 2: Finland just captured what appeared to be 50 Russian drug smugglers. We know it's not your fault, but apparently your country has a kidnapping problem, and not just a doping problem. According to the Finns, they're saying that these drug smugglers are looking for Russians to kidnap and dope them, to make them become athletes against their will. This sounds like something Belarus had to deal with.
FIFA Staff 1: So this is what we have to do. Your country in FIFA will be the Russian Football Union instead of the Russian Federation. Your flag cannot be used and neither your national anthem. This rule will be in effect until further notice.
FIFA Staff 2: Any comments or concerns?
*Norway*
Doughty Dog: I have eaten sushi before, but not the salmon kind.
Super C: Hmmm; let's have a bite of that. *He tries it.* I think I'm neutral on this, but it's worth a go. *He takes a sip of water.*
Cripto: I never was fond of raw foods; I always prefer it cooked. *He tries it.* I think I do see why this is a big deal, though. *He takes a sip of water,*
Leiel: I admit, it's not for everybody, but hats off to you for trying it.
*We get word of what happened in Finland.*
Leiel: Sad, but hardly unexpected.
Leo: 50 deaths, all of which were CNG smugglers, and the other 50 were smuggling drugs. Leonid is really being put to the test right now.
*Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Exactly. But we're in a better position now than we were, say, about 3-5 years ago. We're making progress.
*Sweden*
Lennart: *in Swedish* Especially with me around. Meanwhile, wish me luck. TV8 is doing the current incarnation of the popular global quiz show Jeopardy!, and they've asked me to guest host it. (narrating in English) The reason for the experiment was to see if all parallels, myself included, have the same phenomenon that Leo has going for him. Whenever he's on the screen, literally every single TV set in the United States tunes in to him. This fad didn't start from a CNG effect, however; CNG just reinforces that behavior, since people assume they have to purify their lives, sometimes going as far as erasing television and the internet (but not radio) from them, just to make him happy.
Leo: (narrating) An act of which I have told my people to stop doing many times. I'm not a dictator or a king, so do not treat me like one. I think you folks are taking my nickname of "Galactic Emperor" way too seriously.
*Finland*
Leku: *in Finnish* I do not speak to scum like this; get them out of my sight! Get them out of here!
*The crooks are thrust into recall pods to be sent back to Russia.*
*Russia*
Leonid: No; that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is why people do those things in the first place. In fact, the 50 smugglers are being sent to prison as we speak. I also signed a bill into law making it illegal to dope and smuggle, with severe consequences. I was in full support of the original 4-year ban, and was shocked to see it shrunk to 2 years, as well as the whole ROC ordeal.
If you're not playing our national anthem, will you play a song in its place? There will be live marching bands playing all the anthems, just as the Drumbums did at the Olympics.
*Norway*
Glass Wing: *To Cripto* That's probably why sushi is dipped in a mixture of soy sauce and a little wasabi at least. You can eat slices of pickled ginger between bites too.
Chuong: Wasabi is extremely potent. It's like the Japanese version of horseradish, but ten times the potency. So I'm not sure if you want Cripto to try eating another piece of sushi dipped in soy sauce with wasabi like that.
Jack: That stuff can shoot up through your nostrils if you put too much wasabi in soy sauce.
Chuong: I still remember that pain when I first tried wasabi. It's like this shock that shoots up through your nostrils and hits your brain from the inside. But, hey; it helps to clear your nose out during cold weather here in Norway.
Rasmus: *Eats a wurst with a tiny dash of Chinese hot mustard.* Whoa! It really stings! Similar to wasabi right here.
Konrad: Why, of course. After all these decades of corruption and ruin in Russia, Leonid has to clean it all up. On top of this, most of Russia's issues are best solved by the Russian people and Leonid themselves.
Rasmus: They also have to be open to progressive changes as well.
*Netherlands*
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* You could say that.
*Sweden*
Elias: *In Swedish* Have fun, then! Meanwhile, I hope our closest ally, Finland, is safe. Thank heavens they got the best snipers who can easily hide in their forests.
*Russia*
FIFA Staff 1: We may have a song or music piece used in its place.
FIFA Staff 2: We do thank you for doing your part to end doping here.
WADA Staff 1: We also thank you for making Russia a better place to live in as well as making your country contribute to the world's well-being as well.
*Norway*
Cripto: No, thank you; I do not want my nose to have that kind of reaction.
Leo: How do you all think Leonid has done so far?
*Sweden*
Lennart: *in Swedish* Thank you.
*Russia*
Leonid: Not a problem; this was long overdue not just for us, but for the whole world.
*Norway*
Chuong: I'd say he's doing incredibly well despite inheriting a chaotic mess of a country. Russia has improved a lot under him.
Zax: Him letting American businesses in to contribute to their development and focusing entirely on internal or domestic issues in Russia turned the country around for the better. He's even cracking down hard on doping.
Konrad: Russia will be a lot more pleasant under him and as an American, he did the right thing by ceding Kuril Islands back to Japan because during the days of the Soviet Union, they took those islands from Japan. It does help him focus more on internal issues easily.
Luitpold: (narrating in English) Flash forward now to the days where Carnival gets under way, or Mardi Gras if you're American. Our Carnival is slightly different from Brazil's, but it's basically the same concept. You make floats, and you have a big parade.
*Later, Carnival/Mardi Gras begins around the world that celebrates them.*
*Germany*
*Carnival parade floats, most of them being anti-doping themed as well as being in the theme of what was once Bezos' superyacht, roll out on the streets as everybody cheers and laughs. Some of the float themes are anti-kidnapping themes addressing the alleged ongoing issues in Belarus and Russia about their coaches kidnapping certain people to make them athletes for their countries. Warlord Wolf's anti-doping themed parade float is out on full display.*
Civilian 1: *In German* Nice one, Warlord Wolf!
Civilian 2: *In German* I love how your team displayed the Russian flag upside-down there! Leonid says he's cracking down on doping, but I don't know how soon will he be able to stop this. Russia has decades of corruption and chaos. How is Leonid going to clean all of this up in a week?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* We provide him support on that, of course. As long Russia is open to the world and focusing on their internal issues, we will help them on this.
Civilian 3: *In German* Oh, look! It's a yacht with Bezos' head on top of it! Very nice!
Civilian 4: *In German* Whooo; go Carnival! This is just what we need!
*Some of the other parade floats are, in typical German fashion, beer-themed.*
Civilian 5: *In German* Well, for once, we get to see beer-themed parade floats. The more we see those, the better the world is.
*New Orleans, LA, USA*
*Leo and his staff are there to witness Mardi Gras.*
Zax: Good old fashioned Mardi Gras.
Gatling Gator: Keep an eye out for drunkards and CNG smugglers, since this is the perfect environment for them.
Mechayote: A whole different side of the south.
Zax: And some people in this state still speak French, even though our national official language is English. French is Louisiana's secondary state official language but English is still used in official businesses.
Marshall: Goes to show how truly diverse America is.
Mechayote: So in Louisiana, are there French translations of state documents?
Zax: Yes. Even on the state websites here, they have an option for you to read them in French if you wish. Something to note that here, it's English before French. In Canada's Quebec province, it's French before English even if English is widely used in all of Canada. Don't ask why they don't do English before French in Quebec in a country where English is widely used.
*Germany*
*Luitpold supervises the festivals.*
Luitpold: *in German* As long as you don't drink it, or at least, be responsible when you do. Personally, I prefer root beer.
*New Orleans, LA, USA*
Leo: I used to dread this day because I felt it defeats the purpose of what tomorrow is: Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. I don't have problems with it now.
Super C: It's probably because the name translates as "Fat Tuesday." I don't want to see any of my recruits out of shape.
*Our communicators beep.*
Leo: Oh. That's just confirming Lennart is to guest host his nation's version of Jeopardy! I can never remember what foreign nations have shows like that and which ones don't.
Super C: Wonder if it will be Viking-themed or not?
*Sweden*
*Lennart begins his short stint as the guest host of Jeopardy!. The network is experimenting with this to see if Leo's parallels have the same effect Leo himself has; in other words, when the lion is on TV, literally every TV set in the nation is tuned in to him.*
*Germany*
Civilian 5: *In German* I don't like root beer. It smells like air freshener.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* It's not bad. It's better with vanilla ice cream. That's why the Americans have root beer floats. Ice cream and soda are apparently typical combinations there.
Civilian 4: *In German as he eats a filled donut or berliner.* This Carnival is going to be lit!
Civilian 1: *In German* Super C let you make that parade float?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Of course!
Civilian 1: *In German* Wow... I thought he was strict on his recruits.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Depends, but he is aware that this is the norm here. He supports the G-52s' rights to freedom of self-expression.
Super C: (narrating) It's true. While I want my recruits to follow the standards of our Code of Conduct, I also want them to be true to themselves. One such way of doing that was doing those floats because it fits the definition of German societal norms.
*New Orelans, LA, USA*
Zax: Maybe or maybe not. And New Orleans has a lot of great food here especially today. That's why Moon Moon is in Vietnam as we speak, so he can focus on his country, instead of what we have.
Juno: He knows better. Also Brazil right now must be festive, since they're famous for their Carnival parades, too.
Zax: Theirs are extremely elaborate.
Laurencio the Jungle Lion: (narrating) Our Carnival is world-famous for these elaborate floats and parades, and my friends from outside Brazil have attended those before.
*Sweden*
*Everybody is tuned in because every TV is indeed tuned in; even Elias has tuned in.*
Elias: *In Swedish* This is going to be interesting! *Sips his cup of warm chai tea.*
*Brazil*
*Enormously huge and elaborate parade floats fill the streets for Carnival.*
Civilian 1: *In Portuguese* Happy Carnival, everybody!
Civilian 2: *In Portuguese* Bigger and better than ever! Hope you like it, Laurencio!
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Yes. The Cat of Steel promotes being true to yourself, just as that famous Tibetan mastiff does, so he doesn't have a problem with the festival here. He said the way we destroy these things with fireworks is what would make him a nervous wreck.
*NO, LA, USA*
Super C: Good to see Chuong is exercising self-control.
*While watching the festivities, we run into True Blue, the main rock band of the Rock Dog films.*
Super C: Oh. Hey, Bodi; how it's going?
Bodi: Fantastic. Hope you're enjoying the festival. And thanks for letting us rock with you at Furry Fever, Cripto.
Cripto: No problem; glad to see you again. I don't know how you do that blue energy trick of yours, but I think it left a lasting and life-changing impression on everybody.
Bodi: It's not a trick. It's just something that comes from deep inside my soul and pours out of me!
Darma: I don't know how he does it either, but it's really something to behold.
Germur: Totally groovy. He elevates it to a superpower.
*Sweden*
*The game begins.*
*Brazil*
Laurencio: *in Portuguese* I am enjoying this; I have a good feeling this will be our best one yet!
*Various Drumbums are participating in the parade.*
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Oh? Well it's a norm here.
*Once the parade comes to a standstill, people take photos of the floats before they get ready to be blown up with fireworks.*
Police 1: *In German* Stand behind this fence and away from it! The fireworks will begin shortly!
Police 2: *In German* Pyrotechnic staff, please make sure you have safety equipment on first and know your safety procedures first!
Civilian 2: *In German as he takes some photos with his phone.* Check out the Jeff Bezos float. It's his superyacht with his enormous smiling head on top of it!
Civilian 3: *In German* Lucky Dutch were able to seize his superyacht before converting it into a sophisticated warship.
Civilian 4: *In German* Superyachts are enormous public nuisances! They're so huge for one person!
*NO, LA, USA*
Zax: If I remember right, weren't you guys at Houston after that unfortunate crowd crush?
Bodi: Yes, we were; why?
Juno: Ugh! I still remember that day.... It was so bad, the WHO sent people there to study what went wrong, regarding why they allowed that many people in, and how to prevent that from happening again.
Konrad: Wait a second... New Orleans doesn't seem to be worried about crowd crushes during Mardi Gras. How do they manage so many people here that easily?
Civilian 1: Lots of planning where details count.
Civilian 2: It's more about having a good time as a community. Mardi Gras is a community-based event where everybody is the star. People just come here and have a good time.
Konrad: The power of community makes a difference, it seems.
Civilian 2: You got it!
*Brazil*
Civilian 3: *In Portuguese* We always have the best Carnival in the world! Nobody does Carnival like we do!
*Vietnam*
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Welp; everything looks great so far in Vietnam. I should go outside with the citizens more. What more can I do as public security minister these days? We got the right to bear arms. *Uses his personal phone to go on social media with his friends.* Hehehe... Oh, what's this? A movie called The Bad Guys. My American furry friends invited me to watch this next month. Shall I go to America just for this? Or shall I remain here and do my duty? *He goes outside and chats with random civilians.* So... How are you doing?
Civilian 1: *In Vietnamese* Doing great!
Civilian 2: *In Vietnamese* Things are surprisingly chill and quiet these days, since you allowed us the right to bear arms. We haven't seen any suspicious people.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Yeah. So I was wondering if I can go to America to watch The Bad Guys, because I have American furry friends who invited me there.
Civilian 2: *In Vietnamese* Dude... You work very hard. You can take as many vacations as you want. All you had to do is ask Hien and if he says yes, then you ask Luong.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Right. I had to ask because your taxes pay for my salary for being public security minister. And it's more than just that movie. We're going to have furry picnics and gatherings all over Houston and surrounding places.
Civilian 2: *In Vietnamese* I don't know why you have to ask us. You ask Hien, then Luong.
Civilian 3: *In Vietnamese* Houston? I have some relatives who live there. My uncle owns a store there.
Civilian 4: *In Vietnamese* Well, if you're doing your job right, well go ahead and take a vacation there and meet your friends.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Yeah. I mean look. Being in government leadership of any kind is a lot of work. You have to sell all of your stock, you barely have privacy when you're out in public, you're judged a lot, personally, I think political office should be more like a civil service thing than something people would run campaigns for. I would imagine that these government positions would pick people in a similar way that jury duty does with citizens.
Civilian 4: *In Vietnamese* Well, Luong is our President, so it's fitting that you'd be a minister under him. Luong chose to do this for all of us so it's your duty to do your thing since you and him are close.
Civilian 5: *In Vietnamese* If you want a vacation like that, go take a vacation. No need to ask us. Just live your life!
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Okay. *He looks for Hien and speaks to him in Vietnamese.* Hey, Hien. My American furry friends invited me to hang out with them next month and one of our activities is that we're going to see a furry movie called The Bad Guys. Can I go on vacation to America? We'll be in Houston.
Hien: *In Vietnamese* Sure; go ahead.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Okay. *He approaches Luong in Vietnamese.* Hey, Luong. My American furry friends in Houston invited me for vacation next month because one of the things we're going to do is watch a furry movie called The Bad Guys. May I do that?
*Moscow, Russia*
Politician 1: *In Russian to Leonid* Hey Leonid. I think we found a perfect candidate to be our ambassador to the United States.
Politician 2: *In Russian* I think Captain Cosmo is perfect for that job and you should appoint him for that.
Politician 3: *In Russian as he hands a file to Leonid.* And we found this from Putin's former home. This contains his detailed plans to invade Ukraine, which thankfully has never happened since we overthrew that bald megalomaniac. We sent copies of this to Ukraine and reminded Zelensky that he should never let his guard down.
*Kyiv, Ukraine*
Zelensky: *In Ukrainian as he looks over the document copies.* Wow... We dodged a bullet. How unfortunate that we'll never take on Putin's loyalists.
Politician 1: *In Ukrainian* President. Belarus, under Liavon the Authoritarian Lion's leadership, seemed to have joined NATO under the guidance of Leo the Patriotic Lion. You should join in, too.
Politician 2: *In Ukrainian* And you can join the EU without sacrificing our sovereignty to them. I checked their policies, so it's safe. Think of what Poland is doing in the EU.
Zelensky: *In Ukrainian* You know what? Let's do it! *He gets on his computer to fill out an application to join NATO then submits it before he texts Leo the Patriotic Lion and Lyaksandro the Cossack Lion about it.* Submitted and ready!
Politician 3: *In Ukrainian* Ladies and gentlemen! Our applications to join NATO and the EU have been submitted and are awaiting approval from Leo the Patriotic Lion!
*Everybody across Ukraine applauds.*
Soldier 1: *In Ukrainian* More military upgrades!
Soldier 2: *In Ukrainian* We were so close to facing Putin's forces but that never happened.
Soldier 3: *In Ukrainian* Got to keep training and promoting our spirit, because if you want peace, you must prepare for war all the time.
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* I'm actually impressed how Leonid is keeping his cool these days. But thank the Russian people for standing up to overthrow Putin's regime forever!
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* All safety precautions taken. But surely Bezos doesn't actually have that big of a head. Figuratively speaking. *He waits for the all-clear signal before he gives the command.* Okay; start the fireworks!
*NO, LA, USA*
*Our communicators beep; Leo also gets the text message.*
Leo: Oh, well; a President's work is never done. *He checks.* Oh, look at this. Ukrainian President Zelensky has proposed his country join NATO. I don't see why not, but what do you all think about that?
*He sends the following text back to Zelensky via the G-52 app, since those who have it can text message one another without paying a penny.*
Leo's message: It might be a day or two because I have a process to go through, but I do think you and the country would benefit from joining NATO. Also be thankful you don't have to fight with the Russians; Putin clearly was plotting to invade you and some others just to bring the U.S.S.R. back to life. We cannot let that happen.
*Russia*
Leonid: *in Russian* Oh my goodness! I'm glad you seized this. Have you found all his wealth yet? I knew he buried it someplace.
*He messages Captain Cosmo about the ambassador position.*
*Vietnam*
Luong: *in Vietnamese* That's an animated movie with just a PG rating by American standards, so I don't have any issues. Go ahead. I'll be here when you come back.
*Germany*
Crowd: *In German together.* Three! Two! One!
*The parade floats explode with fireworks coming out of it as everybody cheers. Some of the fireworks unfortunately, however, are displaying profane language while referencing Russia's infamous doping scandals. Warlord Wolf's float unfortunately shoots out fireworks with unacceptable language, and he, of course, does not know this. As people continue to cheer, others laugh at the messages.*
Warlord Wolf: *In German as he blushes in embarrassment.* I... I did not do that.
Majornator: *In German* Of course you didn't; otherwise the G-52 app would've buzzed us about this way before this happened. Do you think someone in your group did this?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Of course, but none of us knew this was going to happen. If I knew one of my team members was going to do this, I would've stopped him right there and then.
Majornator: *In German* We should find them.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* If I can in this crowd. *To Luitpold in German.* I wasn't aware my float had that message, but this is unacceptable. I would never do such a thing. I suspect that someone in my team snuck it in for laughs.
Majornator: *In German* Some people are going to be banned from participating in Carnival next year at least.
*Warlord Wolf's team members silently disperse in the crowd as they laugh.*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* That was brilliant!
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 2: *In German* Uhm... I hope he doesn't find out.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* He's not going to know if we remain quiet. We just move on, like it's normal.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* That'll teach Russia to start cracking down hard on doping. Leonid may be their president, but Russia's got a lot of problems.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I'm going to get some gelato and coffee. I know a place that nobody is going to be able to easily find me. Let's keep splitting up before we go home so we can laugh about the rest of this on the internet.
Civilian 1: *In German* Oh my goodness; Luitpold is going to go mad at this, even if this is a typical thing that happens in Carnival.
Civilian 2: *In German* Someone's got to deliver the message to the Russians that doping is unacceptable, and that if they don't stop, Russia will be barred from international events.
Civilian 3: *In German* It's unfair that they're allowed to compete under different names and flags.
Civilian 4: *In German* We should've just banned selling our athletic goods to Russia to stop doping. What they did with that 15-year-old girl was unacceptable.
*NO, LA, USA*
Marshall: I think its great. Don't see why not.
Zachary/Zihao: But each of these countries have their own domestic policies but yeah that would be nice.
Zax: Ukraine has been expressing strong desires to be more like us so yes this is great for us; especially now that Leonid is Russia's president and wants Russia to focus on internal problems first. Russia won't bother us about NATO.
Zelensky's Message: I take it that President Markowski (Leonid) has sent you a leaked copy of Putin's plans to invade my country. Make that available to the world so that whatever happens to Ukraine, the world will be there. Everybody in this world must be able to see that. As for NATO, the sooner the better.
*Moscow, Russia*
Captain Cosmo's Message: *In Russian* Why, of course, I would be honored to serve as Russia's ambassador to the United States of America! We shall work together to make Earth a better place to live in. Also excellent move in returning the Kuril Islands back to Japan so we can focus more on our internal issues.
Politician 3: *In Russian* FSB (Russia's equivalent to FBI.) did seize his wealth and found a paper list of his fellow oligarchs. Some of his oligarchs have defected to Canada and America to avoid being accused as accomplices of his crimes as well as to assist other countries to prepare for Putin's further threats after Kazakhstan.
Politician 4: *In Russian* They're no longer oligarchs because our government has changed when Leonid is our President. They're just associates.
Politician 5: *In Russian* We are working with INTERPOL and the world in finding the rest of Putin's associates after other countries freeze and seize their assets.
Vladimir: (Male blue husky UN1024.) *In Russian as he knocks on the doors.* Special delivery for Leonid the Cold Lion!
Politician 6: *In Russian* What is it?
Vladimir: *In Russian* We got some of Putin's associates captured from overseas and returned to us here with recall pods. We thought they deserve to hear what Leonid has to say before we throw them in jail.
Politician 6: *In Russian* Oh, lovely. *To Leonid.* The world found some of Putin's last associates and sent them here. Would you like to say something to them before we throw them in jail for corruption charges at least?
Politician 7: *In Russian* We also want to charge them for war crimes if they took part in Kazakhstan one way or another.
Putin's Associate 1: *In Russian* You could've just saved the time and resources by just throwing me in jail, you know.
Vladimir: *In Russian* Knowing your type, that's not going to work that way.
Putin's Associate 2: *In Russian* Curse that American kid for making an automated social media account that tracks every single of our private jets and superyachts! What the heck is Leo the Patriotic Lion teaching his people these days? He turned America into an impenetrable fortress to the point that his citizens have intelligence gathering functions! No wonder why his military is virtually unstoppable, despite not using conscripts!
Putin's Associate 3: *In Russian* Ukraine is a part of Russia! First, Frost Fox turned on Lukashenko and accused him of human trafficking over his coaches, and now this!
Vladimir: *In Russian* He didn't accuse him; he found evidence against him. He was well within his rights and duty to send him to the ICC. As for Ukraine, that's clearly an independent country with their own ways.
Putin's Associate 4: *In Russian* How dare Leonid just handed off Kuril Islands to Japan and told them that it's theirs forever because we took them back in WW2!
Vladimir: *In Russian* You tell Leonid that and see what he says then.
*Macao, China*
Civilian 1: *He approaches an associate of Putin.* Sir! Sir!
Putin's Associate: Yeah; what do you want?
Civilian 1: Your ship is on fire and it's sinking! Look!
Putin's Associate: *He sees his superyacht in flames and sinking. There's tiny mice stealing valuable items from inside the ship and carrying it to the streets towards an auction site. He shouts in Russian.* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY DREAM BOAT!
Civilian 2: *In Chinese (Cantonese dialect) on his phone to Liu.* President! Somebody set fire to a superyacht, and there's tiny mice stealing valuable stuff from it! You got to come here to see this to believe it! That ship is sinking and firefighters and soldiers have arrived to try to secure that ship and put out the flames! Nobody is noticing these thieving mice!
Putin's Associate: *He runs towards his superyacht, but is quickly apprehended by police.* Hey!
Police 1: We found CNG inside your ship along with drugs and weapons.
Police 2: You have enough CNG to potentially destroy all of Macao. You're being charged for contraband smuggling.
Putin's Associate: *In Russian as he's being apprehended and escorted to the police station for booking before being deported by recall pod.* Do you not see those mice stealing my stuff from inside? The CNG was secured in lead boxes, so someone was sabotaging the ship! I swear someone destroyed my ship and got away with it! I'm just having a grand time here in Macao because this is the gambling capital of the world! I didn't do anything wrong here! And I don't want to see Leonid! He's going to wring me dry and choke my neck! I will admit that I wanted Putin to invade Ukraine so I can do my business there and make a lot of money there for myself, so I can enjoy Macao more! Just spare me from Leonid, please!
Police 3: Sadly, I have no control to make sure you won't be sent to him through this recall pod. All I know is that we have to send you back to Russia. *He puts the associate into the recall pod and sends him back to Russia.*
Soldier 1: Just another day in Macao.
Soldier 2: Those guys... I hope this ends.
Soldier 3: This superyacht looks like a total loss.
Soldier 4: Unlike Bezos' ship, this isn't modular. Also uses a lot of conventional luxuries.
*Miami, FL, USA*
*SWAT police and FBI agents raid the penthouses of Putin's associates to arrest them before deporting them to Russia via recall pods.*
FBI Agent 1: FBI! OPEN UP!
FBI Agent 2: GO, GO, GO!
*The doors get breached open by SWAT as FBI agents take out the bodyguards and arrest the associates to book them for their crimes before sending them back to Russia for corruption charges and conspiracy to engage in war crimes in Ukraine.*
Putin's Associate 1: Come on, guys! Can't you let me enjoy my life here?
Putin's Associate 2: I would rather not see Leonid! He's probably going to have me executed in Russia.
FBI Agent 3: You're going back, whether you like it or not!
*The associates are returned to Russia through recall pods.*
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Oh, dear; I wish I hadn't seen that. That was an accident, though; I know you wouldn't swear on purpose. I'll help you search for the ones who did, since there's a penalty for that. For them, but not you.
*He walks around looking for the team.*
*NO, LA, USA*
Leo's text to Zelensky: Yes, he has. As soon as we get back to the White House, I'm going to do just that. Leonid also mentioned he's got his special agents searching for Putin's buried wealth, but that's a different story. So far. nothing. Do you know why Putin had you labeled as public enemy number one?
*Some of the parade's participants hand out beads to the G-52s and allies.*
Leo: Thank you.
Civilian 2: You're welcome, Mr. President.
*Macao, China*
*Liu arrives and calls the fire brigade to put the flames out.*
Liu: *in English* It's still arson, even if the criminal thinks he's doing the world a service. *to the police in Chinese* Keep your eyes out for the arsonist, but I'm not so sure about those mice; they are saving the possessions. They're just putting them up for auction.
*Russia*
Leonid: *in English to himself* Okay; keep calm. One more outburst and you're dead, one way or another. *in Russian* Okay; bring them to me.
*The associates are brought to Leonid.*
Leonid: *in Russian* I'll give you each 60 seconds to confess your sins, starting with you. *He points to one, and then turns to a soldier.* Start the clock! *to the criminal* Now talk!
*Vietnam*
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Whoo-hoo; thanks! *Uses his personal phone to book his trip to America before going back to his office.*
*NO, LA, USA*
Zelensky's Message: I have no idea; nor was I aware of that. All I remember was that when he invaded Kazakhstan, Russia was up in flames, and your troops arrived to my country to protect us from whatever problems Russia was having from spilling over to Ukraine. You supplied us and helped us upgrade our military equipment in case Russia's conflicts spilled over to us. But then that night, the flames died out and Leonid became President there, so the whole thing was over then. All I knew was that Putin was in jail for war crimes in Kazakhstan.
Marshall: *Catches the beads around his neck.* Here they come!
*Local SWAT police burst in to a hotel and arrest one of Putin's last associates. The associate was captured and is half-naked. The police are shoving him into the recall pod before it sends him back to Russia.*
Mechayote: Ow; my eyes! I wished I didn't see that guy!
Shadow Hunter: They're creatures of filth.
*Macao, China*
Police 1: *In Chinese* The CNG caused the fire, but we will not rule out arson.
Police 2: *In Chinese* Best we can do is look out for the arsonist if they're here. CNG is obscuring the evidence these days.
*Kyiv, Ukraine*
Politician 1: *In Ukrainian to Psycho Blade.* Is Lyaksandro aware of Zelensky's works when he was a comedian?
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* He is, and is aware that modern comedians tend to push the envelope. We all know he did a skit of him dancing half-naked in heels to parody a music video.
Politician 2: *In Ukrainian* If Lyaksandro thinks Ukrainian pop music videos are unbiblical, he should look into Japanese pop culture.
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* Better that he doesn't.
*Russia*
*The soldier starts the clock as the associates confess one-by-one in a rapid manner as they sweat bullets.*
Putin's Associate 1: *In Russian rapidly as he sweats.* I wanted to open my arms factory in Ukraine after Putin invaded it, so I can make money and go to Macao to gamble!
Putin's Associate 2: *In Russian* I, uhm... Wanted to invest in Ukraine's agricultural industry without competition so I backed Putin's plans.
Putin's Associate 3: *In Russian* Putin said NATO was a threat to us despite the fact that they are not, but I believed him, because he threatened to strangle me if I disobeyed him! I wanted money so I can gamble in Monaco and chill in my yacht there.
Putin's Associate 4: *In Russian* Drug money! I wanted to sell drugs to any desperate Ukrainian athletes!
Putin's Associate 5: *In Russian* I wanted to use CNG on kidnapped Ukrainians and get paid for it by Putin so I could go to Macao! I smuggled CNG from Macao, too, because there was plenty of them in the sea there!
*One of the other associates passes out and falls to the ground with a thud.*
Vladimir: *In Russian* Oh, dear...
*Germany*
*One of the team members sneaks away before messaging his friends that he say Luitpold and Warlord Wolf together.*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* He's sneaking away.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* They're bringing Majornator.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 2: *In German* Come on; we've got to go! They're catching up!
*NO, LA, USA*
Leo: What? I didn't see that.
Super C: Don't look.
Leo: My eyes are closed.
*He closes his eyes and holds still.*
*China*
Liu: *in Chinese* True; CNG creates itself out of nothing and does things by itself. If it was actually the guilty party, there's nothing we can do. But it doesn't act like this unless somebody is trying to use it; that way, it can carry out its plans of killing the humans.
*Russia*
Leonid: *in Russian* Uh-oh! Stop the timer! *The soldier stops the timer.* You're all going to jail for this, but first, get medical help for that man unless he's dead! And put the place on lockdown and call the C.I.D.F.! I smell CNG!
*The soldiers obey, and the Kremlin and all the government buildings go on lockdown.*
Leonid: (narrating in English) When CNG got to me, it gave me the ability to smell it, because it does have scents. It has the same scent, however, regardless of what color it is.
*Ukraine*
*Lyaksandro is present.*
Lyaksandro: *in Ukrainian* Please don't remind me of that; it's too disturbing. What I want to focus on is us joining NATO. Why didn't we do that sooner?
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Don't let them out of your sight once you see them!
*China*
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese as she uses the CNG reasoner on the sea.* Macao has become a deathtrap for superyachts. No wonder why the Americans were right to call this city as Satan's Palace, or the Devil's Palace. We need to put up warning signs telling the world to not dock their superyachts here.
Civilian 3: *In Chinese* Uhm... We tried making such signs, and CNG made them disappear. Apparently CNG doesn't want us to stop people from suffering from their own greed.
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese* Wow; it's vicious. Did you use the internet to post such a warning?
Civilian 3: *In Chinese* We did that, but for some reason, it's not deterring the superyachts of corrupt politicians and Putin's associates.
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese* Great; CNG is making it hard for us to prevent them from unfortunate fates. Liu, what do we do now?
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* Ta, la, la, la, la! Nobody is going to find me! He, he, he!
Warlord Wolf: *In German as he catches up with his team members.* Almost there.
Majornator: *In German* I got an idea! *He leads his fellow German-Forsythians to form blockades at the train stations as they march and perform with their musical instruments. People think that they're still celebrating Carnival with music, but nobody knows they're trying to prevent Warlord Wolf's team members from fleeing.*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* They're in the way!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Enjoying the music?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German as he tries to keep a straight face.* Why; yes I am! Did you have a good time at Carnival?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Did I? Let's get our team together and see what they say first.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* Uhm... Sure. But you enjoyed it right?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* I only enjoy it if my team has enjoyed it. I want to hear their responses first.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* Right.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Let's get some gelato and coffee together. *He manages to trick his team members in meeting up in front of a gelato cafe together. He makes sure his team members cannot escape.*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* All right! We had a blast!
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 2: *In German* Sure did!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Okay. What messages came out of our float?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* Uh-oh...
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Who was doing the pyrotechnics?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I don't know.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Who used fireworks to say messages like "[Expletive] you, Russia!", "Stop [expletive] doping!", "Only [expletives] dope!" Does any of this sound familiar to you? What about the middle finger gesture from the fireworks?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I'll confess! That was me! I snuck it in because if I mentioned in group chat about this plan, you would stop me right there and then!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* If you knew it was wrong, why did you proceed?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Russia keeps importing our athletic wear while having a doping crisis! These dopers are hurting our brand images and in America, this may convince Americans to buy American athletic wear over German athletic wear! American athletic wear companies stopped selling in Russia and are waiting for doping to end first!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Couldn't you find a better way to message your feelings than using profanity?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Russia has enormous problems for more than 50 years, and you honestly expect Leonid to clean all of this up under a year?!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* That's why the world supports him but still, you could've used better words. Listen. Do you know who my G-52 commander is?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Luitpold the Germanic Lion?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* No. He is my local superior. We are talking about the G-52 as a whole. Who commands the G-52s?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* I know the answer! Super C!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Okay. Critics say the G-52s have a problem with overreacting. Do you know what happens if Super C was here and found out those messages when the fireworks went off?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Blame you for this?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Mmhmm, and in our Code of Conduct, it specifically says no profanity. Do you know what risks I'm taking if Super C saw this?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* He'd put you on probation?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* No. He's excommunicate me from the G-52s and make sure I never come back! That's not the risk I'm taking! As if that wasn't enough. Luitpold was one of the people supervising the event!
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I didn't know and it wasn't illegal.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* But the rules specifically states no profanity. The others are going to get punished for this too. The punishments range from a stern warning to being banned from Carnival for five years. Personally, what you did earned you two years of being banned from Carnival. But you'd be lucky if Luitpold gives you a stern warning. In fact, he's right here with us.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Ugh; no fun! *In German to Luitpold.* You saw the whole thing didn't you? So am I going to receive a warning or a temporary ban from Carnival next year at least?
Super C: (narrating) He's partially correct, but I would do a thorough investigation of Warlord Wolf before excommunicating him. I would later send him a message stating that in this case, he was not guilty because his teammates were the ones that came up with the idea. If he had known about it, he would have done me proud by putting a stop to it. So he's not in any trouble himself.
*Moscow, Russia*
Vladimir: *In Russian* Wait... CNG has a scent? *Sniffs the air.* Uh-oh; it's suspicious!
*FSS (Russian equivalent to Secret Service) agents swarm the Kremlin and government buildings to get everybody to safety. The FSS agents get the associates to jail before closing all the windows. Paramedics arrive to transport the man to the hospital but unfortunately, the ER physician pronounced the man as dead on arrival.*
FSS Agent 1: *In Russian* I believe there's CNG in here!
FSS Agent 2: *In Russian* Is it moving and hiding from us?
FSS Agent 3: *In Russian as he calls for C.I.D.F. agents.* There's CNG inside the Kremlin at least!
*The entire city goes on lockdown as everybody receives text messages to shelter-in-place due to CNG's presence in the city.*
Civilian 1: *In Russian* That does it! I cannot go one week without a CNG crisis in Moscow! After this, I'm moving with the crowd to other Russian cities! Tula here I come!
Civilian 2: *In Russian* I'll just move to Podolsk after this.
Civilian 3: *In Russian* I'm going to Kingisepp! More opportunities and fast growing town there!
Civilian 4: *In Russian* Didn't one of the mansions around here belonging to one of Putin's mobsters blow up into a fireball due to CNG? I want to move to a safer part of Russia!
*Ukraine*
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* Because Putin thought NATO would threaten Russia when in reality, it's just a military alliance by the west. Counties that are part of NATO have easier access to western weaponry and tech for their military as well.
Politician 2: *In Ukrainian* Nowhere did NATO have any proof or evidence that they plan to commit genocide against the Russians. Where Putin got that idea is up to anyone's guess but the dude is paranoid.
Zelinsky: *In Ukrainian* Putin thinks NATO is allowing cultural degeneracy but there's no evidence of that. Poland is part of NATO and they are still rooted in their traditions. Then again, what do you expect from a guy who's about the same height as me but wears dress shoes with thick heels to make himself look taller? The guy is a Russian Napoleon for crying out loud! He's got to overcompensate you know. When Leonid got into office, one of his complaints was the enormously sized tables in the government buildings designed to keep people apart. I know social distancing is important during a pandemic when COVID-19 was around, but Putin took it too far.
Politician 3: *In Ukrainian* Geez; no wonder why Putin's wife left him!
*Everybody explodes into brief laughter.*
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* Wait, aren't we in the Verkhovna Rada? We shouldn't be laughing inside a government building, especially when our tax money goes to us here.
Politician 4: *In Ukrainian* Oh, right. I apologize for laughing. We must remember what happened in Canada's parliament when people there decided it would be a good idea to pass around blackface photos of Trudeau to each other for laughs as their tax money went to their pockets. Levi blew up and you know what went down from there.
Zelinsky: *In Ukrainian* It's a good idea that we focus on concerning issues first. Putin may be out of the picture, but the CNG crisis has taken his place against us. We need the resources to help us keep the CNG crisis outside of Ukraine as much as possible. Apparently Russia has an enormous CNG problem, so we can't let that spill over our borders.
*NO, LA, USA*
*Words about Russia reaches the heroes.*
Zax: Just how bad are Russia's CNG problems again?
Mechayote: Not sure if we want to go to Moscow this time.
Juno: I don't know what I can do in a country with that much CNG, and that many CNG-related problems. However, Macao is a deathtrap for superyachts due to CNG being rampant there.
Marshall: There's a reason why we call it the Devil's Palace for a reason. All those casino resorts they have there are traps to lure the greedy in.
*China*
Liu: *in Chinese* I'm already calling for more C.I.D.F. soldiers. I'm trying to think of other strategies before we have to go to the ultimate last resort: saying the name of my Swedish counterpart.
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in Germany* You're all banned, but only for next year. Plus, the severity of the profanity and/or amount determines whether or not Super C would kick out him and virtually bankrupt him.
*Russia*
*The C.I.D.F. arrives to collect the CNG, and their other tactics reveal that it created itself.*
Leonid: *in Russian* Wow; it really will stop at nothing to get the ultimate desires it wants: the new Kriegland.
*NO, LA, USA*
Leo: I have to get back to the White House soon, so I am not going to Russia.
*China*
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese* But then more CNG will take its place here. Macao is already a CNG magnet.
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Which I rather not think about. So, next year, you can't partake in Carnival.
*The team members nod.*
Leiel: (narrating in English) Here's where we'll pause and pick it up next time. But we can now see the scenes developing; in Macao, CNG is setting superyachts on fire, and tiny resident mice are stealing the possessions in the name of a mysterious leader figure we don't know anything about. Elsewhere, Russia continues to have problems of its own, even though everybody praises Leonid for the progress he and his administration have made. Any CNG smuggling done by Russians were done by Putin's Associates.
Leo: (narrating) My first order of business upon returning to D.C. would the long process I'd go through to approve the proposition of Ukraine becoming a member of NATO. By doing so, it will make it easier to improve the quality of life in Ukraine, just as it did in Belarus. (Liavon got them to become a member also.)
All the while, we were finding Putin's associates, but we still haven't found his buried wealth. Chances are it was hidden in plain sight. Once it was found, however, Leonid declared the government was to seize it and freeze his assets. That way, if Putin even sneezed, the world would know where he was.
Bit of a cliffhanger, folks, but sometimes cliffhangers are necessary. Keep yourselves safe now, and if you don't have the G-52 app, get it; it will save your life!
Good night.
THE END
-----------------------------------------
After the Olympics
Leiel the Nordic Lion: (narrating in English) Hello; this is Leiel the Nordic Lion speaking, and the nation I represent, if you haven't guessed it by my name, is Norway. What we have here is just a recap showing what happened after the Olympics came to an end last month, starting with the victory party we held in Norway. Why there? Norway had the most total medals and the most gold, with 37 total and 16 gold. It did not, however, top the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang, where we had 39 total medals with 14 gold.
We also tip our hats to the United States; they got off to such a bad start, but they redeemed themselves and fought back valiantly. However, they ended up in fifth place with 24 medals, behind us, the ROC (Russian Olympic Committee), Germany, and Canada. They had more gold than Canada did, so they got back Machas Seal Island due to the agreements we have going, where whoever does the best at the Olympics get to claim the disputed island or territory until the next Olympics finishes. Canada, however, topped their women's hockey team to win gold, so they were just as happy.
In case we didn't say so, the ROC wasn't allowed to keep any of their medals due to the WADA rulings, but Leonid and the IOC worked out a compromise to allow them to keep the cash prizes that go with those medals. Thus, the ROC men's hockey team wasn't as bothered as one might expect, because they didn't beat Finland in the final. As a result of the scandals and issues (as well as discovering how Vladimir Putin would have invaded Ukraine), nobody wanted anything to do with Russia.
Leonid the Cold Lion: (narrating in English) Don't get me wrong. Russia under me has seen its quality of living improve drastically, but we are suffering because we're completely cut off from the outside world. There are no imports or exports allowed. There are no trades or tariffs. There are no exchanges with the World Bank and the banking systems. Our ruble's value is practically worthless. And you may have heard of the Great Wall of China, but now, we have the Great Wall of Russia, which was completed in record time by both Russians and the people bordering them. On top of it all, after the coach who forced the 15-year-old girl to dope died, she and her family all escaped to the United States, which to us was a big punch in the nose. Her mom's declaration to Super C also went viral: "Literally no nation gets right except one: yours!"
At least, that was how life was supposed to be, but under me, everything I just said virtually didn't happen. There really are trades and exports, and I got rid of all trade barriers so we can make all of Europe and Asia thrive better. (Moscow is on the European side, so Europe is my contienent.)
Super C: (narrating) The U.S. still has its own problems; there are things we have done wrong and have been held accountable for, but this lady was refering to one's system of government and how it works, as well as a multitude of other factors, when she proclaimed, "Literally no nation gets it right but yours!" Leonid was sad to see them go, but at the same, it seemed everybody wanted to leave Russia. Somebody still has to live there, but the humans were fleeing like crazy, leaving only the Forsythians and other Russian furries who actually get it right. Sound familiar?
Leo the Patriotic Lion: (narrating) It does, because it's unintentionally helping CNG's ultimate agenda: get rid of all the humans. It keeps changing its agenda, however, so that when it finally gets what it wants, a world that operates just like Kriegland and does not pollute itself with cars, factories, or other things that pollute it, there's no more need for the G-52s. It thinks it has to reward the good as well as punish the bad, however, so it hasn't done what it wants to do with His Majesty, King Leo V of Kriegland, yet.
C.K./King Leo: (narrating) It wants to kill me because had my reign gone longer than 3 years, I would have fought to modernize us to keep up with the modern times, because I was tired of being so far behind as a result of morals preached from what ultimately turned out to be false doctrine. But it hasn't done so yet, and it doesn't help it is fighting its own civil war with itself. With the double standards it is enforcing, it can create itself out of nothing, but it also self-destructs just as easily.
Lennart the Viking Lion: (narrating in English) This goes back to what we said before about simply mentioning my name, and it self-destructs by melting, just as ice melts into water. It's saddening, it's disrespectful to me, and it's just plain creepy. Yet it is the most effective weapon we've got right now, and it is a nonviolent method of defeating the CNG. So I have to live with it.
In any event, let's skip to the highlight reel now. Let's also start by reminding all of you that the Dutch, now having control of Jeff Bezos's superyacht that they seized after egging it, successfully converted it into a massive warship. Now that's how you recycle!
*Later, we go to Norway to join their victory party. The country is very busy as athletes are busy signing up for sponsorship deals to feature themselves in advertising.*
*Norway*
Chuong: *Eats some gravlax, a smoked salmon dish.* Mmmm; Norwegian smoked salmon. The best of its kind.
Glass Wing: We got salmon caviar as well for those who are interested.
Chuong: Ooooh! I love them!
Glass Wing: Don't forget to leave some for the others. We also have some sushi there, too.
Civilian 1: *In Norwegian* Once again we conquered the Winter Olympics!
Civilian 2: *In Norwegian* We are awesome!
Civilian 3: *In Norwegian* I wish those Americans better luck next time. They had to fight hard just to get to the top five, but they got there in the end.
Civilian 4: *In Norwegian* Leiel! Leiel! Welcome home! I hope you're enjoying this party!
*The Netherlands*
*Engineers discover that the seized superyacht is modular, and that despite insurance labeling it as a total loss, mainly due to stuff being tossed around inside during the storm, the boat is easily repairable, if any damages are seen, which are very minor. The superyacht is successfully converted into a futuristic naval warship for the Royal Dutch Navy.*
Soldier 1: *In Dutch* It's so beautiful!
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* The most beautiful warship I've ever laid my eyes upon.
Soldier 3: *In Dutch* And it's faster than ever! It's a very fancy warship. First floor is a garage for the small military vehicles so the captain can deploy their troops on ground level at the beach.
Soldier 4: *In Dutch* The control room looks like something from a science fiction film with the holographic projector. That ship looks like one of those alien naval ships from another planet.
Soldier 5: *In Dutch* Isaac! Enjoying yourself in there?
Isaac: *In Dutch* I sure am! I can't wait to show Ludo this! *He goes out to find Ludo and speaks in Dutch.* There you are! Remember when you told our government that you don't want Bezos' superyacht? *Ludo nods.* We discovered it to be not only modular, but has an extremely tough unibody. So our military decided to convert the superyacht into one of the world's most beautiful warships the world has ever seen. We replaced the interior and the ship works like it's brand new. It's even faster, too. Repair work was very quick since they're so minor, they're not easily noticeable. Come. Let me show you this warship. *He leads Ludo to the warship as Dutch naval soldiers and officers attend with them.*
Soldier 6: *In Dutch* Looks like something from a science fiction film doesn't it?
Soldier 7: *In Dutch* Like what you see?
Ludo the Merchant Lion: (narrating in English) A big storm came to my rescue, preventing me from bellowing, so I instead had to protect people from the weather. It also destroyed the bridge the mayor had modified so the boat could come through, so I was holding him and the local government accountable for that. However, if somebody wants me in charge, I'd in charge of the entire country.
*Seattle, WA, USA*
Civilian 1: I hope Bezos is proud of himself, because his boat got converted into a warship for the Royal Dutch Navy.
Civilian 2: I saw some images of it from the news; it's way more advanced than I thought it would be!
Civilian 3: Huge boats should only be built for the military like that.
*Moscow, Russia*
Politician 1: *In Russian* I wouldn't underestimate the Dutch. They just turned a modular superyacht into a futuristic warship.
Politician 2: *In Russian* Who knows what's in it? Our navy is so behind!
Politician 3: *In Russian* Now we got to do something about these doping cases! We lost our sponsorship deals with western athletic companies. Heck, even Chinese companies will not sponsor our athletes in their advertising. The Americans and their allies are grinding us over the doping scandals. In fact, the world basically submitted requests to WADA to either revert their ban on us to 4 years or enforce an indefinite ban on us.
Politician 4: *In Russian* Now the Germans are drilling us hard over these doping scandals.
*Germany*
*Warlord Wolf helps his friends set up and assemble a Carnival parade float criticizing Russia's doping scandals. The parade float has an effigy of an overly muscular bodybuilder flexing his muscles with a syringe to his right arm complete with an upside-down Russian flag behind it. Warlord Wolf's team members snickers at their work together.*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* There! Looks really great! I think this will bring some attention when Carnival begins.
Civilian 1: *In German as he snickers.* What a caricature! Thanks for contributing to this project!
Civilian 2: *In German* This Carnival is going to be a riot!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of how Luitpold will react to this, even though we are just following traditions and norms here in Germany.
Civilian 3: *In German* Don't worry about what he's going to think. We have to address these issues, especially during Carnival!
Civilian 4: *In German* Especially with filthy Russian doping cheaters to Bezos' enormous superyacht that matches the size of his ego.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* But the Dutch converted his boat into a warship because it was modular, complete with an extremely tough unibody shell.
Civilian 4: *In German* So what? Space is a limited resource and this is the time where less is more! People shouldn't be that greedy, you know! You can live a luxurious and rich life without taking up that much darn space!
*Another group of civilians are building a parade float with an effigy of Bezos' superyacht complete with a caricature of Bezos' head on top of it with an exaggerated smile.*
Civilian 5: *In German* Nice one, guys!
Civilian 6: *In German* Ready for Carnival!
*Norway*
Leiel: *in Norwegian* I am enjoying the party; I send my congratulations to all the athletes to who won a medal, not just ours.
*He translates.*
Cripto: The gravlax is great.
Doughty Dog: I'm enjoying this.
*Our communicators beep.*
Leo: Oh, it's Ludo. He says because nobody wanted the superyacht that Bezos owned, it's now under the ownership of the Royal Dutch Navy, and it's a highly sophisticated warship.
Super C: Whoa; they really all out on that one!
D.W.: Hey, Moon Moon; what do you think of that?
*The Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Whoa; I'm impressed! Why waste it when you can save it? This is amazing! Let me take some pictures of this.
*He does so, and then sends them to everybody via the G-52 app.*
*Russia*
*Leonid says silent prayers about the other nations drilling Russia over the doping, and that nobody will blame him for anything.*
*Germany*
Civilian 7: *in German* Are you okay with this, Luitpold?
Luitpold the Germanic Lion: *in German* I think I have to be. Me doing those PSAs telling you all to stop griping about the Russians when you should be focusing on your own lives first was a big mistake on my part. Or was it? I just was tired of hearing about it day in and day out. Complaints get you nowhere in life, people. In any event, be safe as you do this, especially when you get to the part where you destroy these floats. That always makes me really nervous.
*Norway*
Chuong: Wow; that ship is going to make the Americans and Danes jealous!
Jill: It's like something off of a science fiction movie.
Jack: Looks like The Netherlands is ramping up their secret arsenal. Nobody is going to want to mess with them now!
Juno: The AIRAF is going to think twice now, since the last thing they want to deal with is that.
Zax: Looks more like a support-type for a ship, but even if that is the case, it's not something that should be messed with.
Civilian 1: The Germans gave us some of their finest wursts for our barbecue as a gift for being number one in this year's Olympics. *He starts placing some wursts on the grill.*
Zax: Oh, hey; they gave us those when we won the Olympics back in Japan.
Civilian 2: Good thing we got some mustard for this.
Civilian 3: I got some Chinese hot mustard if you want some.
Chuong: But that stung my nose and brain from the inside!
Civilian 3: That's because you're supposed to use less of those. Not to mention, there's a reason why this particular bottle is smaller than the other mustard bottles. When it comes to hot mustard, the smaller the bottle, the spicier it is.
Chuong: From the looks of this one, it must be nuclear hot!
Civilian 3: That's because it is.
Zax: Funnily enough, I know a tiny American mustard company that's been breeding the spiciest mustard crops possible to the point that their bottles are smaller than phones and have a label on them in big bold letters that reads "Do not eat!" even though they're FDA approved for consumption. Somewhere on the label, it even has a statement saying that just because the FDA says its safe to eat doesn't mean you should eat it. Yet, their mustard sells, even though their founders don't want people buying their mustard simply because of how hot it is.
Glass Wing: Reverse psychology there; you tell people not to eat that mustard because its too spicy, but that only tempts people to eat it just to find out. Whatever those guys are doing, they're making an excellent business strategy by utilizing reverse psychology.
Zax: No wonder why overcharging their own products on top of warning people not to eat them don't work, since that only makes customers more curious. With the internet these days, people make review videos of them trying out expensive things to see if they're worth it.
Glass Wing: They also do dumb things to see if they will suffer the consequences of them despite, being warned not to do such things.
*The Netherlands*
*Blitz Fox takes a look at the ship and goes inside of it.*
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Hard to believe that this used to be Bezos' yacht.
Isaac: *In Dutch* We were so lucky to find out that it is modular; otherwise, we'd destroy it and it would be a waste.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Is that a hologram?
Isaac: *In Dutch* Yes, that is a holographic image of Earth.
Soldier 1: *In Dutch* Go ahead and play with it. You're going to love it!
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch as he utilizes the hologram.* Whoa... I can zoom in on any county for live data. *He zooms in on Germany and pulls up some data.* I see people are getting ready for Carnival; of course. It also allows me to access their public street cameras from here, too! *He pulls up a live video.* I see some guys showing off a Carnival parade float that appears to be in the works.
Now let's check on Russia from here. *He zooms out of Germany and views in on Russia before pulling up some data about it.* Well, Russia's economy is improving a lot under Leonid. But in some of the data, it still says that CNG, drug smuggling, and doping are still prevalent throughout Russia, despite improvements in their government.
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* Russia was a country that cared more about power than anything else. They're more of the "shoot first and ask questions later" society for a very long time, at least until now.
Soldier 3: *In Dutch* And that they valued quantity over quality for a long time, too.
Soldier 4: *In Dutch* In America, during times of peace, they have various gun companies that spend a majority of their resources in not only perfecting their guns, but also create new guns that are excellent in their own ways. Thus, they're always prepared for war without wasting their resources.
Soldier 5: *In Dutch* They're a global exporter of guns, military hardware, and even police hardware too. This ACR rifle is America's most popular assault rifle for a reason.
Soldier 6: *In Dutch* Or for the military at least. The M4 is a popular assault rifle for most police, but it seems that most police forces on Earth are turning to Israel for their X95s.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Sidearms matter, too, and even though the M&P 9mm is a popular choice, Sig Sauer's sidearms are incredible too. Blitz Fox, there's more to explore in this ship, so I think you should give others the chance to play with that.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* I was going to explore the other features here. *He follows the group to explore the other features in the ship as the other soldiers play with the hologram.* It's a very posh warship.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Warships today have to be posh and sophisticated just like the naval officers. CNG is discouraging ships and boats because they see ship and boats as environmental nuisances to the sea. So naval forces around the world have less ships than before yet are much more sophisticated and tougher than before. Today's ships are smaller these days too.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Always about quality over quantity where less is more. It's amazing how the "less is more" mindset can actually improve the military too.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Yes. It still amazes me how the world's largest military force only consists of volunteers who just happened to be well-equipped and well-trained.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* It's why the world looks up to the United States Armed Forces for ideas.
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* That's why we have safety procedures when that part comes along. As for that PSA, I doubt that would discourage our people from complaining about the Russian doping scandals. In fact, our people are well within their rights to complain loudly and constantly about this, because doping threatens the legitimacy of sports. The idea of international sports is about peaceful competition. These Russian athletes who are okay with doping have no concept of the idea that peaceful competitions are a thing.
Civilian 1: *In German* Honestly, WADA should've just kept the ban and keep Russia out. If they're not going to play fair, then there's no reason why they should compete against us.
Civilian 2: *In German* I'm just so happy and relieved that Leonid is now their president, so I don't have to worry about Putin being a jerk to the world. Leonid is making it much easier for Russia to help the world as well as letting America use their rail network to supply Europe more of their goods. I haven't seen food prices this low for a very long time.
Civilian 3: *In German* Not just that, but the prices of skincare products in Germany are so low, I've been buying them for myself quite often. It's really nice that Leonid decided to completely remove trade barriers so America and Korea can use their infrastructure to ship their skincare and beauty products to us a lot.
Civilian 4: *In German* Russia is the bridge that makes it easy to get goods from North America these days thanks to Leonid.
*Montreal, Canada*
*WADA's HQ gets inundated in requests to extend the ban on Russia for failure to prevent doping.*
WADA Staff 1: So the world is still complaining to us about Russia but thank the heavens Leonid is Russia's president.
WADA Staff 2: This will make it easier for us to assist the Russian government in cracking down on those involved in these doping scandals.
WADA Staff 3: Knowing Leonid, he will easily cooperate with us than to have us extend the ban. We know it's not his fault, but at least he will make it easier for us to cooperate with him on this.
WADA Staff 4: The IOC and us already emailed Leonid evidence about the doping scandals and we are ready to cooperate with him to put an end to this forever. His government will easily work with us on this.
*Norway*
Leo: I love the fact they put that boat to good use instead of letting it go to waste. I wonder what Bezos thinks about it?
Super C: Whatever it is, he's living with the consequences of it now.
*Netherlands*
*Ludo also goes inside the ship.*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Now this is more like it! And yes, that's exactly the country to turn to for an example: the United States. And you also speak the truth about CNG, because it sees warships, and warfare as a whole, as a way of destroying the environment.
*Dutch Drumbums begin playing military tunes in celebration of the warship.*
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Exactly; hats off to Leonid for success at those things. It's made my job as Chancellor a lot easier.
Civilian 2: *in German* How long do you plan to do that?
Luitpold: *in German* If I do another term after this one, that one will be the last one. I got the job resulting from an emergency, and not a proper election.
*Russia*
*Leonid does a live stream with the WADA staff.*
Leonid: *in English* What surprised me is how the ban successfully got shrunk to 2 years; I would have kept it and kept all our athletes out. None of this silly ROC business.
*Norway*
Jack: He probably won't care, because he's too rich.
Chuong: I just hope Leonid doesn't get emotional when Carnival begins, since Warlord Wolf and his pals made a parade float poking fun at Russia's doping scandals. Note that what they're doing with making these floats and destroying them with fireworks are considered norms in Germany.
*Netherlands*
Soldier 1: *In Dutch* It's why the ships are on reserve, and we use submarines to detect and destroy CNG.
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* Underwater drones, too.
Isaac: *In Dutch* Unfortunately, that's not a guarantee you'd be safe from CNG that way. They can sneak into the drones and once you get the drones back, next thing you know, you could unknowingly carry that stuff around.
Soldier 2: *In Dutch* But Denmark uses submarines to seek and destroy CNG. Lenarth does that too.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* Easier said than done.
*Diaoyu Islands*
*Kishida, Ing-Wen, and Liu meet at the monument as American soldiers witness Chinese soldiers raising their flag on the monument for having the most gold medals in the Olympics against their opponents.*
American Soldier 1: So according to the medal count, these islands will be under China's ownership since they earned it. Any concerns?
Kishida: None at all.
Ing-Wen: It's yours, Liu. You earned it.
American Soldier 2: All right. Go ahead, China!
*The Chinese soldiers raise their flag on the monument as they perform their national anthem with their marching band equipment. They also sing in Chinese as well. After the performance, everybody applauds for China.*
*Montreal, Quebec, Canada*
WADA Staff 1: Don't worry about it, because the world is sending you anti-doping equipment and scanners.
WADA Staff 2: We're also developing a universal system that works as follows: if an athlete's doping test comes positive, every international sporting organization and their respective national sporting organization will be automatically notified. Now if they're on certain prescription medication because their doctors ordered them to be on them for medical reasons, that's different.
WADA Staff 3: We're not too concerned about marijuana, since they're not typically used in doping, but per common sense, we do advise athletes to not use them for recreational purposes. We are aware that doctors do precribe them in medicinal forms in some cases.
WADA Staff 4: We want to make sure that everybody who wants to compete go through a universal screening process to make sure they're not doping. With the anti-doping equipment you're getting, you should be fine, especially that you're now Russia's president.
*Norway*
Super C: If Leonid does lose his emotion control over that, that's a demerit. I think he's now concentrating on supporting the WADA ban.
*Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Indeed; CNG is able to create itself out of nothing. I think it's setting itself up for its eventual doom in the end, though. Even though it wants humanity extinct, it thinks it has to reward the good as well as punish the bad,
Soldier 1: *in Dutch* Do you know what happens if you mention the specific Norseman (Lennart)? Or was I not supposed to mention him?
Ludo: *in Dutch* We try not to mention Lennart's name because of the scary things he can do, but to answer your question, the C.I.D.F. found CNG destroys itself in a suicidal manner when he's around, or if somebody mentions his name. It's why CNG crimes have not happened in Sweden for quite some time now. I prefer we don't say his name, however, unless it's absolutely necessary, but you were just asking a question.
*Diaoyu Islands*
*Kyu and Ryo are also there to witness the raising of the flags.*
Ryo the Samurai Lion: Congratulations to you all.
*Russia*
Leonid: Thank you; I appreciate that. I'm also working with my new government to make the consequences way more severe for doping.
*Norway*
Chuong: A good move there! Russia is much easier to cooperate with thanks to him.
Civilian 1: Who wants some Norwegian roasted goat heads?
Civilian 2: We call them smalahove, and they're a national delicacy here.
Civilian 3: I know it's not for everybody. I don't like it myself. I'll stick to smoked salmon and grilled wursts.
Konrad: Roasted goat heads?
Civilian 4: *He opens the grill smoker to reveal the smalahove.* These?
Konrad: Uhm... No thanks.
Civilian 4: We understand. *He closes the smoker.*
*Netherlands*
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* But I wouldn't say Sweden is perfectly safe from the CNG crisis. CNG smugglers have ended up stranded in Greenland and Iceland before, despite being isolated countries. If it can happen there, it can happen here, and there. That hologram interface detects CNG anywhere in this world.
*Norway*
Super C: No, sorry; I'll pass.
Leo: I'll pass, too. That's normal for you, though, isn't it?
Leiel: Yes, it is.
*Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Good point; I just felt everybody should know there is another way to fight back, but just as a last resort, and that is to mention Lennart.
*Sweden*
*Lennart learns about how CNG is afraid of him.*
Civilian 1: *in Swedish* How do you feel about that?
Lennart: *in Swedish* That's actually disturbing. CNG is why I can do many of the things I can do, but apparently when it gave me my powers, it didn't know who I was or my tainted history. It doesn't surprise me, though. Even undead creatures such as mummies flee for their lives upon the mention of me. It makes me even more embarrassed that I had the meltdown over the AIRAF. Everybody keep your guards up; you never know when that stuff is going to strike. It may fear me and commit suicide because of me, but it also creates itself out of nothing. It's been terrorizing the world ever since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
*Norway*
*Some of the party hosts pass around trays of salmon sushi for everybody.*
Civilian 1: *In Norwegian* Salmon sushi, modern Norwegian Japanese cuisine.
Civilian 2: *In Norwegian* Most of these used smoked salmon. The raw ones are over there.
Chuong: Oh, so sushi is a party tray dish here, it seems.
Glass Wing: They're typically party dishes in Norway, yes.
*Netherlands*
Isaac: *In Dutch* If it worked every time, the CNG crisis would be over.
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* If only... But that would never happen. Remember, it's unpredictable, so there's no guarantee.
*Sweden*
Elias: *In Swedish* I guess Sweden is not going to have an all-volunteer military like the United States soon, then. The Riksdag were right to say that it's better to keep partial conscription here, anyways.
Civilian 2: *In Swedish* People think Greenland and Iceland are perfectly safe from this, but that's not true. Even worse is that those countries lack the resources, should a CNG crisis wreck their nations and have to rely on Denmark's navy for prevention.
Elias: *In Swedish* As long they have bomb shelters, they will be fine.
*Finland*
*Mikko (Finnish male blue fox UN1024), and two military snipers capture 50 Russian illegal immigrants at the border. They originally attempted to capture 100 Russian illegal immigrants, but half of them are CNG smugglers who died as a result of their actions, leaving the other half surviving; the other half are discovered to be drug smugglers.*
Mikko: *In Finnish as he and his squad brings the criminals to Leku and other troops.* Special delivery to Leku the Silent Lion! Look what illegally passed through our borders with Russia!
Soldier 1: *In Finnish* How did the three of you capture that many criminals?
Soldier 2: *In Finnish* Good heavens...
Mikko: *In Finnish* CNG and drug smuggling. They want to attempt combined methods of CNG and drug doping on their targeted athletes. They're also charged for human trafficking in Russia.
Soldier 3: *In Finnish* They're worse than those Belorussian coaches!
Soldier 4: *In Finnish* Leku! Any words for them before we send them back to Russia?
*Russia*
*Words about the Finnish arrests of the Russian illegals make headlines. FIFA staff connect to Leonid on webcam chat.*
FIFA Staff 1: Hey, Leonid. I hope you're enjoying your presidency, but we were looking at the complaints about the doping scandals in your country by WADA, and we know it's not your fault.
FIFA Staff 2: Finland just captured what appeared to be 50 Russian drug smugglers. We know it's not your fault, but apparently your country has a kidnapping problem, and not just a doping problem. According to the Finns, they're saying that these drug smugglers are looking for Russians to kidnap and dope them, to make them become athletes against their will. This sounds like something Belarus had to deal with.
FIFA Staff 1: So this is what we have to do. Your country in FIFA will be the Russian Football Union instead of the Russian Federation. Your flag cannot be used and neither your national anthem. This rule will be in effect until further notice.
FIFA Staff 2: Any comments or concerns?
*Norway*
Doughty Dog: I have eaten sushi before, but not the salmon kind.
Super C: Hmmm; let's have a bite of that. *He tries it.* I think I'm neutral on this, but it's worth a go. *He takes a sip of water.*
Cripto: I never was fond of raw foods; I always prefer it cooked. *He tries it.* I think I do see why this is a big deal, though. *He takes a sip of water,*
Leiel: I admit, it's not for everybody, but hats off to you for trying it.
*We get word of what happened in Finland.*
Leiel: Sad, but hardly unexpected.
Leo: 50 deaths, all of which were CNG smugglers, and the other 50 were smuggling drugs. Leonid is really being put to the test right now.
*Netherlands*
Ludo: *in Dutch* Exactly. But we're in a better position now than we were, say, about 3-5 years ago. We're making progress.
*Sweden*
Lennart: *in Swedish* Especially with me around. Meanwhile, wish me luck. TV8 is doing the current incarnation of the popular global quiz show Jeopardy!, and they've asked me to guest host it. (narrating in English) The reason for the experiment was to see if all parallels, myself included, have the same phenomenon that Leo has going for him. Whenever he's on the screen, literally every single TV set in the United States tunes in to him. This fad didn't start from a CNG effect, however; CNG just reinforces that behavior, since people assume they have to purify their lives, sometimes going as far as erasing television and the internet (but not radio) from them, just to make him happy.
Leo: (narrating) An act of which I have told my people to stop doing many times. I'm not a dictator or a king, so do not treat me like one. I think you folks are taking my nickname of "Galactic Emperor" way too seriously.
*Finland*
Leku: *in Finnish* I do not speak to scum like this; get them out of my sight! Get them out of here!
*The crooks are thrust into recall pods to be sent back to Russia.*
*Russia*
Leonid: No; that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is why people do those things in the first place. In fact, the 50 smugglers are being sent to prison as we speak. I also signed a bill into law making it illegal to dope and smuggle, with severe consequences. I was in full support of the original 4-year ban, and was shocked to see it shrunk to 2 years, as well as the whole ROC ordeal.
If you're not playing our national anthem, will you play a song in its place? There will be live marching bands playing all the anthems, just as the Drumbums did at the Olympics.
*Norway*
Glass Wing: *To Cripto* That's probably why sushi is dipped in a mixture of soy sauce and a little wasabi at least. You can eat slices of pickled ginger between bites too.
Chuong: Wasabi is extremely potent. It's like the Japanese version of horseradish, but ten times the potency. So I'm not sure if you want Cripto to try eating another piece of sushi dipped in soy sauce with wasabi like that.
Jack: That stuff can shoot up through your nostrils if you put too much wasabi in soy sauce.
Chuong: I still remember that pain when I first tried wasabi. It's like this shock that shoots up through your nostrils and hits your brain from the inside. But, hey; it helps to clear your nose out during cold weather here in Norway.
Rasmus: *Eats a wurst with a tiny dash of Chinese hot mustard.* Whoa! It really stings! Similar to wasabi right here.
Konrad: Why, of course. After all these decades of corruption and ruin in Russia, Leonid has to clean it all up. On top of this, most of Russia's issues are best solved by the Russian people and Leonid themselves.
Rasmus: They also have to be open to progressive changes as well.
*Netherlands*
Blitz Fox: *In Dutch* You could say that.
*Sweden*
Elias: *In Swedish* Have fun, then! Meanwhile, I hope our closest ally, Finland, is safe. Thank heavens they got the best snipers who can easily hide in their forests.
*Russia*
FIFA Staff 1: We may have a song or music piece used in its place.
FIFA Staff 2: We do thank you for doing your part to end doping here.
WADA Staff 1: We also thank you for making Russia a better place to live in as well as making your country contribute to the world's well-being as well.
*Norway*
Cripto: No, thank you; I do not want my nose to have that kind of reaction.
Leo: How do you all think Leonid has done so far?
*Sweden*
Lennart: *in Swedish* Thank you.
*Russia*
Leonid: Not a problem; this was long overdue not just for us, but for the whole world.
*Norway*
Chuong: I'd say he's doing incredibly well despite inheriting a chaotic mess of a country. Russia has improved a lot under him.
Zax: Him letting American businesses in to contribute to their development and focusing entirely on internal or domestic issues in Russia turned the country around for the better. He's even cracking down hard on doping.
Konrad: Russia will be a lot more pleasant under him and as an American, he did the right thing by ceding Kuril Islands back to Japan because during the days of the Soviet Union, they took those islands from Japan. It does help him focus more on internal issues easily.
Luitpold: (narrating in English) Flash forward now to the days where Carnival gets under way, or Mardi Gras if you're American. Our Carnival is slightly different from Brazil's, but it's basically the same concept. You make floats, and you have a big parade.
*Later, Carnival/Mardi Gras begins around the world that celebrates them.*
*Germany*
*Carnival parade floats, most of them being anti-doping themed as well as being in the theme of what was once Bezos' superyacht, roll out on the streets as everybody cheers and laughs. Some of the float themes are anti-kidnapping themes addressing the alleged ongoing issues in Belarus and Russia about their coaches kidnapping certain people to make them athletes for their countries. Warlord Wolf's anti-doping themed parade float is out on full display.*
Civilian 1: *In German* Nice one, Warlord Wolf!
Civilian 2: *In German* I love how your team displayed the Russian flag upside-down there! Leonid says he's cracking down on doping, but I don't know how soon will he be able to stop this. Russia has decades of corruption and chaos. How is Leonid going to clean all of this up in a week?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* We provide him support on that, of course. As long Russia is open to the world and focusing on their internal issues, we will help them on this.
Civilian 3: *In German* Oh, look! It's a yacht with Bezos' head on top of it! Very nice!
Civilian 4: *In German* Whooo; go Carnival! This is just what we need!
*Some of the other parade floats are, in typical German fashion, beer-themed.*
Civilian 5: *In German* Well, for once, we get to see beer-themed parade floats. The more we see those, the better the world is.
*New Orleans, LA, USA*
*Leo and his staff are there to witness Mardi Gras.*
Zax: Good old fashioned Mardi Gras.
Gatling Gator: Keep an eye out for drunkards and CNG smugglers, since this is the perfect environment for them.
Mechayote: A whole different side of the south.
Zax: And some people in this state still speak French, even though our national official language is English. French is Louisiana's secondary state official language but English is still used in official businesses.
Marshall: Goes to show how truly diverse America is.
Mechayote: So in Louisiana, are there French translations of state documents?
Zax: Yes. Even on the state websites here, they have an option for you to read them in French if you wish. Something to note that here, it's English before French. In Canada's Quebec province, it's French before English even if English is widely used in all of Canada. Don't ask why they don't do English before French in Quebec in a country where English is widely used.
*Germany*
*Luitpold supervises the festivals.*
Luitpold: *in German* As long as you don't drink it, or at least, be responsible when you do. Personally, I prefer root beer.
*New Orleans, LA, USA*
Leo: I used to dread this day because I felt it defeats the purpose of what tomorrow is: Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. I don't have problems with it now.
Super C: It's probably because the name translates as "Fat Tuesday." I don't want to see any of my recruits out of shape.
*Our communicators beep.*
Leo: Oh. That's just confirming Lennart is to guest host his nation's version of Jeopardy! I can never remember what foreign nations have shows like that and which ones don't.
Super C: Wonder if it will be Viking-themed or not?
*Sweden*
*Lennart begins his short stint as the guest host of Jeopardy!. The network is experimenting with this to see if Leo's parallels have the same effect Leo himself has; in other words, when the lion is on TV, literally every TV set in the nation is tuned in to him.*
*Germany*
Civilian 5: *In German* I don't like root beer. It smells like air freshener.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* It's not bad. It's better with vanilla ice cream. That's why the Americans have root beer floats. Ice cream and soda are apparently typical combinations there.
Civilian 4: *In German as he eats a filled donut or berliner.* This Carnival is going to be lit!
Civilian 1: *In German* Super C let you make that parade float?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Of course!
Civilian 1: *In German* Wow... I thought he was strict on his recruits.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Depends, but he is aware that this is the norm here. He supports the G-52s' rights to freedom of self-expression.
Super C: (narrating) It's true. While I want my recruits to follow the standards of our Code of Conduct, I also want them to be true to themselves. One such way of doing that was doing those floats because it fits the definition of German societal norms.
*New Orelans, LA, USA*
Zax: Maybe or maybe not. And New Orleans has a lot of great food here especially today. That's why Moon Moon is in Vietnam as we speak, so he can focus on his country, instead of what we have.
Juno: He knows better. Also Brazil right now must be festive, since they're famous for their Carnival parades, too.
Zax: Theirs are extremely elaborate.
Laurencio the Jungle Lion: (narrating) Our Carnival is world-famous for these elaborate floats and parades, and my friends from outside Brazil have attended those before.
*Sweden*
*Everybody is tuned in because every TV is indeed tuned in; even Elias has tuned in.*
Elias: *In Swedish* This is going to be interesting! *Sips his cup of warm chai tea.*
*Brazil*
*Enormously huge and elaborate parade floats fill the streets for Carnival.*
Civilian 1: *In Portuguese* Happy Carnival, everybody!
Civilian 2: *In Portuguese* Bigger and better than ever! Hope you like it, Laurencio!
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Yes. The Cat of Steel promotes being true to yourself, just as that famous Tibetan mastiff does, so he doesn't have a problem with the festival here. He said the way we destroy these things with fireworks is what would make him a nervous wreck.
*NO, LA, USA*
Super C: Good to see Chuong is exercising self-control.
*While watching the festivities, we run into True Blue, the main rock band of the Rock Dog films.*
Super C: Oh. Hey, Bodi; how it's going?
Bodi: Fantastic. Hope you're enjoying the festival. And thanks for letting us rock with you at Furry Fever, Cripto.
Cripto: No problem; glad to see you again. I don't know how you do that blue energy trick of yours, but I think it left a lasting and life-changing impression on everybody.
Bodi: It's not a trick. It's just something that comes from deep inside my soul and pours out of me!
Darma: I don't know how he does it either, but it's really something to behold.
Germur: Totally groovy. He elevates it to a superpower.
*Sweden*
*The game begins.*
*Brazil*
Laurencio: *in Portuguese* I am enjoying this; I have a good feeling this will be our best one yet!
*Various Drumbums are participating in the parade.*
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Oh? Well it's a norm here.
*Once the parade comes to a standstill, people take photos of the floats before they get ready to be blown up with fireworks.*
Police 1: *In German* Stand behind this fence and away from it! The fireworks will begin shortly!
Police 2: *In German* Pyrotechnic staff, please make sure you have safety equipment on first and know your safety procedures first!
Civilian 2: *In German as he takes some photos with his phone.* Check out the Jeff Bezos float. It's his superyacht with his enormous smiling head on top of it!
Civilian 3: *In German* Lucky Dutch were able to seize his superyacht before converting it into a sophisticated warship.
Civilian 4: *In German* Superyachts are enormous public nuisances! They're so huge for one person!
*NO, LA, USA*
Zax: If I remember right, weren't you guys at Houston after that unfortunate crowd crush?
Bodi: Yes, we were; why?
Juno: Ugh! I still remember that day.... It was so bad, the WHO sent people there to study what went wrong, regarding why they allowed that many people in, and how to prevent that from happening again.
Konrad: Wait a second... New Orleans doesn't seem to be worried about crowd crushes during Mardi Gras. How do they manage so many people here that easily?
Civilian 1: Lots of planning where details count.
Civilian 2: It's more about having a good time as a community. Mardi Gras is a community-based event where everybody is the star. People just come here and have a good time.
Konrad: The power of community makes a difference, it seems.
Civilian 2: You got it!
*Brazil*
Civilian 3: *In Portuguese* We always have the best Carnival in the world! Nobody does Carnival like we do!
*Vietnam*
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Welp; everything looks great so far in Vietnam. I should go outside with the citizens more. What more can I do as public security minister these days? We got the right to bear arms. *Uses his personal phone to go on social media with his friends.* Hehehe... Oh, what's this? A movie called The Bad Guys. My American furry friends invited me to watch this next month. Shall I go to America just for this? Or shall I remain here and do my duty? *He goes outside and chats with random civilians.* So... How are you doing?
Civilian 1: *In Vietnamese* Doing great!
Civilian 2: *In Vietnamese* Things are surprisingly chill and quiet these days, since you allowed us the right to bear arms. We haven't seen any suspicious people.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Yeah. So I was wondering if I can go to America to watch The Bad Guys, because I have American furry friends who invited me there.
Civilian 2: *In Vietnamese* Dude... You work very hard. You can take as many vacations as you want. All you had to do is ask Hien and if he says yes, then you ask Luong.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Right. I had to ask because your taxes pay for my salary for being public security minister. And it's more than just that movie. We're going to have furry picnics and gatherings all over Houston and surrounding places.
Civilian 2: *In Vietnamese* I don't know why you have to ask us. You ask Hien, then Luong.
Civilian 3: *In Vietnamese* Houston? I have some relatives who live there. My uncle owns a store there.
Civilian 4: *In Vietnamese* Well, if you're doing your job right, well go ahead and take a vacation there and meet your friends.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Yeah. I mean look. Being in government leadership of any kind is a lot of work. You have to sell all of your stock, you barely have privacy when you're out in public, you're judged a lot, personally, I think political office should be more like a civil service thing than something people would run campaigns for. I would imagine that these government positions would pick people in a similar way that jury duty does with citizens.
Civilian 4: *In Vietnamese* Well, Luong is our President, so it's fitting that you'd be a minister under him. Luong chose to do this for all of us so it's your duty to do your thing since you and him are close.
Civilian 5: *In Vietnamese* If you want a vacation like that, go take a vacation. No need to ask us. Just live your life!
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Okay. *He looks for Hien and speaks to him in Vietnamese.* Hey, Hien. My American furry friends invited me to hang out with them next month and one of our activities is that we're going to see a furry movie called The Bad Guys. Can I go on vacation to America? We'll be in Houston.
Hien: *In Vietnamese* Sure; go ahead.
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Okay. *He approaches Luong in Vietnamese.* Hey, Luong. My American furry friends in Houston invited me for vacation next month because one of the things we're going to do is watch a furry movie called The Bad Guys. May I do that?
*Moscow, Russia*
Politician 1: *In Russian to Leonid* Hey Leonid. I think we found a perfect candidate to be our ambassador to the United States.
Politician 2: *In Russian* I think Captain Cosmo is perfect for that job and you should appoint him for that.
Politician 3: *In Russian as he hands a file to Leonid.* And we found this from Putin's former home. This contains his detailed plans to invade Ukraine, which thankfully has never happened since we overthrew that bald megalomaniac. We sent copies of this to Ukraine and reminded Zelensky that he should never let his guard down.
*Kyiv, Ukraine*
Zelensky: *In Ukrainian as he looks over the document copies.* Wow... We dodged a bullet. How unfortunate that we'll never take on Putin's loyalists.
Politician 1: *In Ukrainian* President. Belarus, under Liavon the Authoritarian Lion's leadership, seemed to have joined NATO under the guidance of Leo the Patriotic Lion. You should join in, too.
Politician 2: *In Ukrainian* And you can join the EU without sacrificing our sovereignty to them. I checked their policies, so it's safe. Think of what Poland is doing in the EU.
Zelensky: *In Ukrainian* You know what? Let's do it! *He gets on his computer to fill out an application to join NATO then submits it before he texts Leo the Patriotic Lion and Lyaksandro the Cossack Lion about it.* Submitted and ready!
Politician 3: *In Ukrainian* Ladies and gentlemen! Our applications to join NATO and the EU have been submitted and are awaiting approval from Leo the Patriotic Lion!
*Everybody across Ukraine applauds.*
Soldier 1: *In Ukrainian* More military upgrades!
Soldier 2: *In Ukrainian* We were so close to facing Putin's forces but that never happened.
Soldier 3: *In Ukrainian* Got to keep training and promoting our spirit, because if you want peace, you must prepare for war all the time.
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* I'm actually impressed how Leonid is keeping his cool these days. But thank the Russian people for standing up to overthrow Putin's regime forever!
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* All safety precautions taken. But surely Bezos doesn't actually have that big of a head. Figuratively speaking. *He waits for the all-clear signal before he gives the command.* Okay; start the fireworks!
*NO, LA, USA*
*Our communicators beep; Leo also gets the text message.*
Leo: Oh, well; a President's work is never done. *He checks.* Oh, look at this. Ukrainian President Zelensky has proposed his country join NATO. I don't see why not, but what do you all think about that?
*He sends the following text back to Zelensky via the G-52 app, since those who have it can text message one another without paying a penny.*
Leo's message: It might be a day or two because I have a process to go through, but I do think you and the country would benefit from joining NATO. Also be thankful you don't have to fight with the Russians; Putin clearly was plotting to invade you and some others just to bring the U.S.S.R. back to life. We cannot let that happen.
*Russia*
Leonid: *in Russian* Oh my goodness! I'm glad you seized this. Have you found all his wealth yet? I knew he buried it someplace.
*He messages Captain Cosmo about the ambassador position.*
*Vietnam*
Luong: *in Vietnamese* That's an animated movie with just a PG rating by American standards, so I don't have any issues. Go ahead. I'll be here when you come back.
*Germany*
Crowd: *In German together.* Three! Two! One!
*The parade floats explode with fireworks coming out of it as everybody cheers. Some of the fireworks unfortunately, however, are displaying profane language while referencing Russia's infamous doping scandals. Warlord Wolf's float unfortunately shoots out fireworks with unacceptable language, and he, of course, does not know this. As people continue to cheer, others laugh at the messages.*
Warlord Wolf: *In German as he blushes in embarrassment.* I... I did not do that.
Majornator: *In German* Of course you didn't; otherwise the G-52 app would've buzzed us about this way before this happened. Do you think someone in your group did this?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Of course, but none of us knew this was going to happen. If I knew one of my team members was going to do this, I would've stopped him right there and then.
Majornator: *In German* We should find them.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* If I can in this crowd. *To Luitpold in German.* I wasn't aware my float had that message, but this is unacceptable. I would never do such a thing. I suspect that someone in my team snuck it in for laughs.
Majornator: *In German* Some people are going to be banned from participating in Carnival next year at least.
*Warlord Wolf's team members silently disperse in the crowd as they laugh.*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* That was brilliant!
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 2: *In German* Uhm... I hope he doesn't find out.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* He's not going to know if we remain quiet. We just move on, like it's normal.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* That'll teach Russia to start cracking down hard on doping. Leonid may be their president, but Russia's got a lot of problems.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I'm going to get some gelato and coffee. I know a place that nobody is going to be able to easily find me. Let's keep splitting up before we go home so we can laugh about the rest of this on the internet.
Civilian 1: *In German* Oh my goodness; Luitpold is going to go mad at this, even if this is a typical thing that happens in Carnival.
Civilian 2: *In German* Someone's got to deliver the message to the Russians that doping is unacceptable, and that if they don't stop, Russia will be barred from international events.
Civilian 3: *In German* It's unfair that they're allowed to compete under different names and flags.
Civilian 4: *In German* We should've just banned selling our athletic goods to Russia to stop doping. What they did with that 15-year-old girl was unacceptable.
*NO, LA, USA*
Marshall: I think its great. Don't see why not.
Zachary/Zihao: But each of these countries have their own domestic policies but yeah that would be nice.
Zax: Ukraine has been expressing strong desires to be more like us so yes this is great for us; especially now that Leonid is Russia's president and wants Russia to focus on internal problems first. Russia won't bother us about NATO.
Zelensky's Message: I take it that President Markowski (Leonid) has sent you a leaked copy of Putin's plans to invade my country. Make that available to the world so that whatever happens to Ukraine, the world will be there. Everybody in this world must be able to see that. As for NATO, the sooner the better.
*Moscow, Russia*
Captain Cosmo's Message: *In Russian* Why, of course, I would be honored to serve as Russia's ambassador to the United States of America! We shall work together to make Earth a better place to live in. Also excellent move in returning the Kuril Islands back to Japan so we can focus more on our internal issues.
Politician 3: *In Russian* FSB (Russia's equivalent to FBI.) did seize his wealth and found a paper list of his fellow oligarchs. Some of his oligarchs have defected to Canada and America to avoid being accused as accomplices of his crimes as well as to assist other countries to prepare for Putin's further threats after Kazakhstan.
Politician 4: *In Russian* They're no longer oligarchs because our government has changed when Leonid is our President. They're just associates.
Politician 5: *In Russian* We are working with INTERPOL and the world in finding the rest of Putin's associates after other countries freeze and seize their assets.
Vladimir: (Male blue husky UN1024.) *In Russian as he knocks on the doors.* Special delivery for Leonid the Cold Lion!
Politician 6: *In Russian* What is it?
Vladimir: *In Russian* We got some of Putin's associates captured from overseas and returned to us here with recall pods. We thought they deserve to hear what Leonid has to say before we throw them in jail.
Politician 6: *In Russian* Oh, lovely. *To Leonid.* The world found some of Putin's last associates and sent them here. Would you like to say something to them before we throw them in jail for corruption charges at least?
Politician 7: *In Russian* We also want to charge them for war crimes if they took part in Kazakhstan one way or another.
Putin's Associate 1: *In Russian* You could've just saved the time and resources by just throwing me in jail, you know.
Vladimir: *In Russian* Knowing your type, that's not going to work that way.
Putin's Associate 2: *In Russian* Curse that American kid for making an automated social media account that tracks every single of our private jets and superyachts! What the heck is Leo the Patriotic Lion teaching his people these days? He turned America into an impenetrable fortress to the point that his citizens have intelligence gathering functions! No wonder why his military is virtually unstoppable, despite not using conscripts!
Putin's Associate 3: *In Russian* Ukraine is a part of Russia! First, Frost Fox turned on Lukashenko and accused him of human trafficking over his coaches, and now this!
Vladimir: *In Russian* He didn't accuse him; he found evidence against him. He was well within his rights and duty to send him to the ICC. As for Ukraine, that's clearly an independent country with their own ways.
Putin's Associate 4: *In Russian* How dare Leonid just handed off Kuril Islands to Japan and told them that it's theirs forever because we took them back in WW2!
Vladimir: *In Russian* You tell Leonid that and see what he says then.
*Macao, China*
Civilian 1: *He approaches an associate of Putin.* Sir! Sir!
Putin's Associate: Yeah; what do you want?
Civilian 1: Your ship is on fire and it's sinking! Look!
Putin's Associate: *He sees his superyacht in flames and sinking. There's tiny mice stealing valuable items from inside the ship and carrying it to the streets towards an auction site. He shouts in Russian.* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY DREAM BOAT!
Civilian 2: *In Chinese (Cantonese dialect) on his phone to Liu.* President! Somebody set fire to a superyacht, and there's tiny mice stealing valuable stuff from it! You got to come here to see this to believe it! That ship is sinking and firefighters and soldiers have arrived to try to secure that ship and put out the flames! Nobody is noticing these thieving mice!
Putin's Associate: *He runs towards his superyacht, but is quickly apprehended by police.* Hey!
Police 1: We found CNG inside your ship along with drugs and weapons.
Police 2: You have enough CNG to potentially destroy all of Macao. You're being charged for contraband smuggling.
Putin's Associate: *In Russian as he's being apprehended and escorted to the police station for booking before being deported by recall pod.* Do you not see those mice stealing my stuff from inside? The CNG was secured in lead boxes, so someone was sabotaging the ship! I swear someone destroyed my ship and got away with it! I'm just having a grand time here in Macao because this is the gambling capital of the world! I didn't do anything wrong here! And I don't want to see Leonid! He's going to wring me dry and choke my neck! I will admit that I wanted Putin to invade Ukraine so I can do my business there and make a lot of money there for myself, so I can enjoy Macao more! Just spare me from Leonid, please!
Police 3: Sadly, I have no control to make sure you won't be sent to him through this recall pod. All I know is that we have to send you back to Russia. *He puts the associate into the recall pod and sends him back to Russia.*
Soldier 1: Just another day in Macao.
Soldier 2: Those guys... I hope this ends.
Soldier 3: This superyacht looks like a total loss.
Soldier 4: Unlike Bezos' ship, this isn't modular. Also uses a lot of conventional luxuries.
*Miami, FL, USA*
*SWAT police and FBI agents raid the penthouses of Putin's associates to arrest them before deporting them to Russia via recall pods.*
FBI Agent 1: FBI! OPEN UP!
FBI Agent 2: GO, GO, GO!
*The doors get breached open by SWAT as FBI agents take out the bodyguards and arrest the associates to book them for their crimes before sending them back to Russia for corruption charges and conspiracy to engage in war crimes in Ukraine.*
Putin's Associate 1: Come on, guys! Can't you let me enjoy my life here?
Putin's Associate 2: I would rather not see Leonid! He's probably going to have me executed in Russia.
FBI Agent 3: You're going back, whether you like it or not!
*The associates are returned to Russia through recall pods.*
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Oh, dear; I wish I hadn't seen that. That was an accident, though; I know you wouldn't swear on purpose. I'll help you search for the ones who did, since there's a penalty for that. For them, but not you.
*He walks around looking for the team.*
*NO, LA, USA*
Leo's text to Zelensky: Yes, he has. As soon as we get back to the White House, I'm going to do just that. Leonid also mentioned he's got his special agents searching for Putin's buried wealth, but that's a different story. So far. nothing. Do you know why Putin had you labeled as public enemy number one?
*Some of the parade's participants hand out beads to the G-52s and allies.*
Leo: Thank you.
Civilian 2: You're welcome, Mr. President.
*Macao, China*
*Liu arrives and calls the fire brigade to put the flames out.*
Liu: *in English* It's still arson, even if the criminal thinks he's doing the world a service. *to the police in Chinese* Keep your eyes out for the arsonist, but I'm not so sure about those mice; they are saving the possessions. They're just putting them up for auction.
*Russia*
Leonid: *in English to himself* Okay; keep calm. One more outburst and you're dead, one way or another. *in Russian* Okay; bring them to me.
*The associates are brought to Leonid.*
Leonid: *in Russian* I'll give you each 60 seconds to confess your sins, starting with you. *He points to one, and then turns to a soldier.* Start the clock! *to the criminal* Now talk!
*Vietnam*
Chuong: *In Vietnamese* Whoo-hoo; thanks! *Uses his personal phone to book his trip to America before going back to his office.*
*NO, LA, USA*
Zelensky's Message: I have no idea; nor was I aware of that. All I remember was that when he invaded Kazakhstan, Russia was up in flames, and your troops arrived to my country to protect us from whatever problems Russia was having from spilling over to Ukraine. You supplied us and helped us upgrade our military equipment in case Russia's conflicts spilled over to us. But then that night, the flames died out and Leonid became President there, so the whole thing was over then. All I knew was that Putin was in jail for war crimes in Kazakhstan.
Marshall: *Catches the beads around his neck.* Here they come!
*Local SWAT police burst in to a hotel and arrest one of Putin's last associates. The associate was captured and is half-naked. The police are shoving him into the recall pod before it sends him back to Russia.*
Mechayote: Ow; my eyes! I wished I didn't see that guy!
Shadow Hunter: They're creatures of filth.
*Macao, China*
Police 1: *In Chinese* The CNG caused the fire, but we will not rule out arson.
Police 2: *In Chinese* Best we can do is look out for the arsonist if they're here. CNG is obscuring the evidence these days.
*Kyiv, Ukraine*
Politician 1: *In Ukrainian to Psycho Blade.* Is Lyaksandro aware of Zelensky's works when he was a comedian?
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* He is, and is aware that modern comedians tend to push the envelope. We all know he did a skit of him dancing half-naked in heels to parody a music video.
Politician 2: *In Ukrainian* If Lyaksandro thinks Ukrainian pop music videos are unbiblical, he should look into Japanese pop culture.
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* Better that he doesn't.
*Russia*
*The soldier starts the clock as the associates confess one-by-one in a rapid manner as they sweat bullets.*
Putin's Associate 1: *In Russian rapidly as he sweats.* I wanted to open my arms factory in Ukraine after Putin invaded it, so I can make money and go to Macao to gamble!
Putin's Associate 2: *In Russian* I, uhm... Wanted to invest in Ukraine's agricultural industry without competition so I backed Putin's plans.
Putin's Associate 3: *In Russian* Putin said NATO was a threat to us despite the fact that they are not, but I believed him, because he threatened to strangle me if I disobeyed him! I wanted money so I can gamble in Monaco and chill in my yacht there.
Putin's Associate 4: *In Russian* Drug money! I wanted to sell drugs to any desperate Ukrainian athletes!
Putin's Associate 5: *In Russian* I wanted to use CNG on kidnapped Ukrainians and get paid for it by Putin so I could go to Macao! I smuggled CNG from Macao, too, because there was plenty of them in the sea there!
*One of the other associates passes out and falls to the ground with a thud.*
Vladimir: *In Russian* Oh, dear...
*Germany*
*One of the team members sneaks away before messaging his friends that he say Luitpold and Warlord Wolf together.*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* He's sneaking away.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* They're bringing Majornator.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 2: *In German* Come on; we've got to go! They're catching up!
*NO, LA, USA*
Leo: What? I didn't see that.
Super C: Don't look.
Leo: My eyes are closed.
*He closes his eyes and holds still.*
*China*
Liu: *in Chinese* True; CNG creates itself out of nothing and does things by itself. If it was actually the guilty party, there's nothing we can do. But it doesn't act like this unless somebody is trying to use it; that way, it can carry out its plans of killing the humans.
*Russia*
Leonid: *in Russian* Uh-oh! Stop the timer! *The soldier stops the timer.* You're all going to jail for this, but first, get medical help for that man unless he's dead! And put the place on lockdown and call the C.I.D.F.! I smell CNG!
*The soldiers obey, and the Kremlin and all the government buildings go on lockdown.*
Leonid: (narrating in English) When CNG got to me, it gave me the ability to smell it, because it does have scents. It has the same scent, however, regardless of what color it is.
*Ukraine*
*Lyaksandro is present.*
Lyaksandro: *in Ukrainian* Please don't remind me of that; it's too disturbing. What I want to focus on is us joining NATO. Why didn't we do that sooner?
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Don't let them out of your sight once you see them!
*China*
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese as she uses the CNG reasoner on the sea.* Macao has become a deathtrap for superyachts. No wonder why the Americans were right to call this city as Satan's Palace, or the Devil's Palace. We need to put up warning signs telling the world to not dock their superyachts here.
Civilian 3: *In Chinese* Uhm... We tried making such signs, and CNG made them disappear. Apparently CNG doesn't want us to stop people from suffering from their own greed.
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese* Wow; it's vicious. Did you use the internet to post such a warning?
Civilian 3: *In Chinese* We did that, but for some reason, it's not deterring the superyachts of corrupt politicians and Putin's associates.
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese* Great; CNG is making it hard for us to prevent them from unfortunate fates. Liu, what do we do now?
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* Ta, la, la, la, la! Nobody is going to find me! He, he, he!
Warlord Wolf: *In German as he catches up with his team members.* Almost there.
Majornator: *In German* I got an idea! *He leads his fellow German-Forsythians to form blockades at the train stations as they march and perform with their musical instruments. People think that they're still celebrating Carnival with music, but nobody knows they're trying to prevent Warlord Wolf's team members from fleeing.*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* They're in the way!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Enjoying the music?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German as he tries to keep a straight face.* Why; yes I am! Did you have a good time at Carnival?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Did I? Let's get our team together and see what they say first.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* Uhm... Sure. But you enjoyed it right?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* I only enjoy it if my team has enjoyed it. I want to hear their responses first.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* Right.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Let's get some gelato and coffee together. *He manages to trick his team members in meeting up in front of a gelato cafe together. He makes sure his team members cannot escape.*
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* All right! We had a blast!
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 2: *In German* Sure did!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Okay. What messages came out of our float?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 3: *In German* Uh-oh...
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Who was doing the pyrotechnics?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I don't know.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Who used fireworks to say messages like "[Expletive] you, Russia!", "Stop [expletive] doping!", "Only [expletives] dope!" Does any of this sound familiar to you? What about the middle finger gesture from the fireworks?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I'll confess! That was me! I snuck it in because if I mentioned in group chat about this plan, you would stop me right there and then!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* If you knew it was wrong, why did you proceed?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Russia keeps importing our athletic wear while having a doping crisis! These dopers are hurting our brand images and in America, this may convince Americans to buy American athletic wear over German athletic wear! American athletic wear companies stopped selling in Russia and are waiting for doping to end first!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Couldn't you find a better way to message your feelings than using profanity?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Russia has enormous problems for more than 50 years, and you honestly expect Leonid to clean all of this up under a year?!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* That's why the world supports him but still, you could've used better words. Listen. Do you know who my G-52 commander is?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Luitpold the Germanic Lion?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* No. He is my local superior. We are talking about the G-52 as a whole. Who commands the G-52s?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 1: *In German* I know the answer! Super C!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Okay. Critics say the G-52s have a problem with overreacting. Do you know what happens if Super C was here and found out those messages when the fireworks went off?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Blame you for this?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Mmhmm, and in our Code of Conduct, it specifically says no profanity. Do you know what risks I'm taking if Super C saw this?
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* He'd put you on probation?
Warlord Wolf: *In German* No. He's excommunicate me from the G-52s and make sure I never come back! That's not the risk I'm taking! As if that wasn't enough. Luitpold was one of the people supervising the event!
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* I didn't know and it wasn't illegal.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* But the rules specifically states no profanity. The others are going to get punished for this too. The punishments range from a stern warning to being banned from Carnival for five years. Personally, what you did earned you two years of being banned from Carnival. But you'd be lucky if Luitpold gives you a stern warning. In fact, he's right here with us.
Warlord Wolf's Team Member 4: *In German* Ugh; no fun! *In German to Luitpold.* You saw the whole thing didn't you? So am I going to receive a warning or a temporary ban from Carnival next year at least?
Super C: (narrating) He's partially correct, but I would do a thorough investigation of Warlord Wolf before excommunicating him. I would later send him a message stating that in this case, he was not guilty because his teammates were the ones that came up with the idea. If he had known about it, he would have done me proud by putting a stop to it. So he's not in any trouble himself.
*Moscow, Russia*
Vladimir: *In Russian* Wait... CNG has a scent? *Sniffs the air.* Uh-oh; it's suspicious!
*FSS (Russian equivalent to Secret Service) agents swarm the Kremlin and government buildings to get everybody to safety. The FSS agents get the associates to jail before closing all the windows. Paramedics arrive to transport the man to the hospital but unfortunately, the ER physician pronounced the man as dead on arrival.*
FSS Agent 1: *In Russian* I believe there's CNG in here!
FSS Agent 2: *In Russian* Is it moving and hiding from us?
FSS Agent 3: *In Russian as he calls for C.I.D.F. agents.* There's CNG inside the Kremlin at least!
*The entire city goes on lockdown as everybody receives text messages to shelter-in-place due to CNG's presence in the city.*
Civilian 1: *In Russian* That does it! I cannot go one week without a CNG crisis in Moscow! After this, I'm moving with the crowd to other Russian cities! Tula here I come!
Civilian 2: *In Russian* I'll just move to Podolsk after this.
Civilian 3: *In Russian* I'm going to Kingisepp! More opportunities and fast growing town there!
Civilian 4: *In Russian* Didn't one of the mansions around here belonging to one of Putin's mobsters blow up into a fireball due to CNG? I want to move to a safer part of Russia!
*Ukraine*
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* Because Putin thought NATO would threaten Russia when in reality, it's just a military alliance by the west. Counties that are part of NATO have easier access to western weaponry and tech for their military as well.
Politician 2: *In Ukrainian* Nowhere did NATO have any proof or evidence that they plan to commit genocide against the Russians. Where Putin got that idea is up to anyone's guess but the dude is paranoid.
Zelinsky: *In Ukrainian* Putin thinks NATO is allowing cultural degeneracy but there's no evidence of that. Poland is part of NATO and they are still rooted in their traditions. Then again, what do you expect from a guy who's about the same height as me but wears dress shoes with thick heels to make himself look taller? The guy is a Russian Napoleon for crying out loud! He's got to overcompensate you know. When Leonid got into office, one of his complaints was the enormously sized tables in the government buildings designed to keep people apart. I know social distancing is important during a pandemic when COVID-19 was around, but Putin took it too far.
Politician 3: *In Ukrainian* Geez; no wonder why Putin's wife left him!
*Everybody explodes into brief laughter.*
Psycho Blade: *In Ukrainian* Wait, aren't we in the Verkhovna Rada? We shouldn't be laughing inside a government building, especially when our tax money goes to us here.
Politician 4: *In Ukrainian* Oh, right. I apologize for laughing. We must remember what happened in Canada's parliament when people there decided it would be a good idea to pass around blackface photos of Trudeau to each other for laughs as their tax money went to their pockets. Levi blew up and you know what went down from there.
Zelinsky: *In Ukrainian* It's a good idea that we focus on concerning issues first. Putin may be out of the picture, but the CNG crisis has taken his place against us. We need the resources to help us keep the CNG crisis outside of Ukraine as much as possible. Apparently Russia has an enormous CNG problem, so we can't let that spill over our borders.
*NO, LA, USA*
*Words about Russia reaches the heroes.*
Zax: Just how bad are Russia's CNG problems again?
Mechayote: Not sure if we want to go to Moscow this time.
Juno: I don't know what I can do in a country with that much CNG, and that many CNG-related problems. However, Macao is a deathtrap for superyachts due to CNG being rampant there.
Marshall: There's a reason why we call it the Devil's Palace for a reason. All those casino resorts they have there are traps to lure the greedy in.
*China*
Liu: *in Chinese* I'm already calling for more C.I.D.F. soldiers. I'm trying to think of other strategies before we have to go to the ultimate last resort: saying the name of my Swedish counterpart.
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in Germany* You're all banned, but only for next year. Plus, the severity of the profanity and/or amount determines whether or not Super C would kick out him and virtually bankrupt him.
*Russia*
*The C.I.D.F. arrives to collect the CNG, and their other tactics reveal that it created itself.*
Leonid: *in Russian* Wow; it really will stop at nothing to get the ultimate desires it wants: the new Kriegland.
*NO, LA, USA*
Leo: I have to get back to the White House soon, so I am not going to Russia.
*China*
Silk Tigress: *In Chinese* But then more CNG will take its place here. Macao is already a CNG magnet.
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Which I rather not think about. So, next year, you can't partake in Carnival.
*The team members nod.*
Leiel: (narrating in English) Here's where we'll pause and pick it up next time. But we can now see the scenes developing; in Macao, CNG is setting superyachts on fire, and tiny resident mice are stealing the possessions in the name of a mysterious leader figure we don't know anything about. Elsewhere, Russia continues to have problems of its own, even though everybody praises Leonid for the progress he and his administration have made. Any CNG smuggling done by Russians were done by Putin's Associates.
Leo: (narrating) My first order of business upon returning to D.C. would the long process I'd go through to approve the proposition of Ukraine becoming a member of NATO. By doing so, it will make it easier to improve the quality of life in Ukraine, just as it did in Belarus. (Liavon got them to become a member also.)
All the while, we were finding Putin's associates, but we still haven't found his buried wealth. Chances are it was hidden in plain sight. Once it was found, however, Leonid declared the government was to seize it and freeze his assets. That way, if Putin even sneezed, the world would know where he was.
Bit of a cliffhanger, folks, but sometimes cliffhangers are necessary. Keep yourselves safe now, and if you don't have the G-52 app, get it; it will save your life!
Good night.

Chuong: I'm curious to see the Great Wall of Russia.
Psycho Blade: Really big and long. I can tell you it puts the Great Wall of China to shame.
Zax: Now that the Olympics is over, let's prepare for further events. Captain Cosmo is perfect for Russia's ambassador to America!
Chuong: FYI my furry friends in Houston like to do what they call as furry invasions or raids. What they do is invite as many furries as possible, then we select a place to hang out at, preferably if the majority of customers of the place are humans, then go there at once to surprise them. In this case, we're going to a movie theater for this to watch The Bad Guys in hopes of surprising the humans there at least. But we are careful to not cause crowd crushes since one in Houston is too much as it is.
Zax: Well you go have fun then.
Psycho Blade: Really big and long. I can tell you it puts the Great Wall of China to shame.
Zax: Now that the Olympics is over, let's prepare for further events. Captain Cosmo is perfect for Russia's ambassador to America!
Chuong: FYI my furry friends in Houston like to do what they call as furry invasions or raids. What they do is invite as many furries as possible, then we select a place to hang out at, preferably if the majority of customers of the place are humans, then go there at once to surprise them. In this case, we're going to a movie theater for this to watch The Bad Guys in hopes of surprising the humans there at least. But we are careful to not cause crowd crushes since one in Houston is too much as it is.
Zax: Well you go have fun then.
Super C: Have a great time, Moon Moon. I don't think you being there should attract attention for the wrong reasons.
Corps Coon: The furry invasions sound intriguing. The only I've done something like that was if the Cadets and I were actually doing it as a flash mob performance. Those were a lot of fun to do.

Chuong: Something to note that the Russian Federation may face another dissolution because that country is a multi-ethnic federal republic.
Captain Cosmo: Personally, considering our history with the other ethnic groups, especially the Chechens, I'm in favor of the dissolution. Russia will always exist, but better as a much smaller republic for Russians than over other ethnic groups. Our history is full of violence and bloodshed. The fact that Leonid has our country's history on him is too much as a burden for him. We got a very long way to go.
Konrad: Let's see what the future holds for Russia.
Jack: I remember Yugoslavia going through a dissolution so I wouldn't be surprised if the people under Russia agrees to that. I hope Leonid doesn't take it personally if that happens but I hope he's ready for that when it comes.
Chuong: If Russia goes through a dissolution, that means more countries and easier government management.

Super C: Another dissolution?
Leo: I vividly remember the end of the USSR and Yugoslavia. I'm not sure how Leonid feels about that.

Captain Cosmo: It's the only way to prevent further ethnic conflict otherwise there would be genocide. Look at my country's history in treating native ethnic minorities under our rule. Now look how the pilgrims interacted with the Native Americans during the days when America was barely a British colony. The Americans obtained knowledge from the Native Americans and used them to help form their country. We used plenty of forced assimilation tactics against others. We also get into the business of other nearby countries for power and resources than to let them solve things out before utilizing diplomacy. Before Leonid took power, our government was ruled by barbarians and warmongers, with Putin being one of them. If Yugoslavia still existed, the Serbs would've wiped out the Croatians, Bosnians, and Albanians through genocide. I also still remember the Chechen Wars because of what was supposed to be antiterrorism missions became genocide against the Chechens. But of course, our government at the time lied to us to get us to think its antiterrorism when in reality it is not. The First Chechen War should've been the last so we can give the Chechens peace of mind as they help improve their nation as an independent nation. But nope. When Putin came into power, he decided to commit ungodly war crimes against the Chechens before forcefully making Chechnya a part of Russia again. *To Chuong.* You could've had a Chechen UN1024 soldier who'd represent Chechnya with pride on Earth. Too bad their future is gone. *To Super C.* And you could've had a Chechen G-52 but they're gone.
Chuong: The Chechen heroes are not gone but rather dormant. Don't lose hope. As for the possibility of the dissolution of the Russian Federation where Russia goes back to being an ethnic independent nation, with the other republics becoming independent ethnic nations, if that happens, it happens. If not, then not. One of my Russian friends said that if another dissolution happens, then Russia's national capital will return to St. Petersburg. Beautiful city and very close to Europe. But until then, we'll see where all this goes.
Captain Cosmo: If another dissolution happens, better be it diplomats from the ethnic republics sitting down to talk with Leonid up close in a calm matter than madmen barging in with guns.

Super C: Then let's hope it does end peacefully. Now you've got me wondering what the geography would look like if it does dissolve.
Leo: I forgot St. Petersburg used to be the capital.
Leonid: It was, but it became Moscow again after the October Revolution. You think you've got troubles? Just look at our tarnished history.
Super C: Gives you a headache, doesn't it?
Leonid: It does. I want the Chechens to have their land back. It wasn't rightfully ours to begin with.
