The Power Of Heart

[Ma-Ti]

(January 8th. Early Morning. Open to all reviewers. But would like Iheart to find him first.)

Ma-ti awoke in a field. He looked around confused.

"I'm alive. But how?" asked Ma-ti.

He shrugged wondering if he had died at all. Maybe he had just passed out. He stood up dusting himself off. He looked at his hand seeing his ring was gone.

"Great. Just great. I finally realize the ring has another power besides telepathy and I lose it. Some hero I am." said Ma-ti.

He realized he wouldn't be able to find it in this patch especially not without help.

"Maybe Critic has a metal detector I can use." said Ma-ti.

He headed off into town soon arriving at Critic's door. He knocked on the door as he began practicing in his head but nothing he could think of sounded good. Well, hopefully Critic would take the news well.

[IHeart]

Well. This was indeed a odd predicament. This whole war. It was againest a obvious villian, normally it was poorply played or a mysterious villian but no Ask Thatguy was it. After a while IHeart STILL couldn't believe it. Ask Thatguy was just a dude who was sadistic not well dominating but then again was she really surprised. As she opened the door she was still thinking about the shock of that

However what surprised her even MORE was a familiar indian friend. The one who was a hero when it was their darkest hour. The one that helped her with a injury, one that cheered her up in some of her famous reviews. One of her close friends... Ma-ti.

Impossible! IHeart thought as tears of joy and a smile spread across her face. It was impossible but there he was right there all in good shape. Without another thought she walked up straight to his face then hugged him in a very tight grip "Oh my god! You're alive! Ma-Ti! Oh ma-ti!"

Too excited to explain her sudden hug she called to the other reviewers while still holding onto Ma-Ti "He's alive! Chick, Roses, Linkara, spoony! Come quick! It's Ma-ti! He's back! And he's here to help us!"

[Ma-Ti]

"Iheart? What are you doing here?" asked Ma-ti.

He gasped as she hugged. So he had really died after all. How long had he been gone? He paused as she began shouting out reviewers names.

"What is everyone doing here? You guys filming another anniversary or something?" asked Ma-ti.

He walked in closing the door behind him.

Meanwhile upstairs

Roses was playing cards with Spoony and Snob when she heard the noise. She ran downstairs curious to see what was going on. Chester was downstairs having heard the noise as he rushed in.

"Ma-ti but you died. How is this possible?" asked Chester.

"Yeah. Wait. Does Critic know yet?" asked Roses, glancing at Iheart worriedly.

She knew Critic had taken it the hardest when Ma-ti had died. With him still recovering from his wounds she didn't want him to get a heart attack or something.

[IHeart]

IHeart let go of Ma-Ti and then replied sadly "No anniversary this time Ma-ti. We have a war. It's a long and big story" Then to Roses she shook her head and breathed "Critic has to know I'm pretty sure he maybe take it well?"

"DUDE! You're alive!" 90's kid entered in with chester and replied excited that the planeteer was alive. Like the others mostly IHeart he was rather happy then nervous. It was a very good thing for the man

"Got any threes?" Spoony asked when he and snob and roses were playing cards then IHeart made him swing right out of the room. Spoony's mouth dropped like a codfish and then he made a confused but excited yelp. Then he replied "Ma-ti? You're actually here?"
XXX

"Know what?" Critic asked as he interupted IHeart then Critic's face froze at the sight of Ma-Ti. He didn't know what to do then, scream, cry, speak in joy or all three. He was so excited and yet so confused that he would've hit the floor passed out if it wasn't for Spoony and Snob
XXX

Snob shook his head at the game but when IHeart called them he ran as well but then frowned both worriedly and sceptically at Ma-Ti. When it turned out to be really him he gave a soft smile.... That was until his happiness turned to quick saving for the critic's faint out moment

[Ma-Ti]

"A War? But you guys review stuff. Who'd want to conquer you guys?" asked Ma-ti.

He trailed off seeing Critic injured so badly and nearly fainting at seeing him. He rushed to help him but Snob and Spoony had gotten to him in time.

"You alright Critic?" asked Ma-ti.

He looked around seeing Film Brain, Luke, 8 Bit Mickey, Handsom Tom, Paw, Angry Joe, Sage, and Phelous weren't here. As he noticed Roses and Chester were here instead.

"It's not the same day is it? How long have I been gone?" asked Ma-ti.

[IHeart]

"Ask Thatguy has gotten countless villains on his side and has gotten the help of Insano to transport countless entertainment characters to either enslave or convince to work with him. A lot of those characters are here to only to help us and go home but it's been struggling and Critic got hurt from what I understand" IHeart calmly responded. Ma-Ti must've thought it was the exact same day he died and was very unaware of the things that changed. IHeart kept her inner joy to herself for now since Ma-Ti had some things to learn
XXX

"Basically what IHeart said and the fact that critic's fine just in a state of shock" Snob replied and he and Spoony struggled to get Critic on a chair. When they did they returned to meet the teenage Ma-Ti

"As a man with a heart condition I'm damn lucky I didn't get a heart attack from the sight of you. I mean, we all really missed you" Spoony admitted with a faint and shocked smile. He too couldn't believe ma-ti was alive

[Ma-Ti]

"Wow. I knew he was a creep but enslaving people. Well you can count on me to help you. But I don't have my ring anymore. But I'll help you anyway I can." said Ma-ti.

He smiled nodding to Spoony and the others.

"What's the date?" asked Ma-ti curious.

XXXX

"January 8th 2012. You were gone for awhile but I'm glad you're back." said Roses.

XXXX

"I've been dead for nine months?" said Ma-ti.

He frowned at the thought. How was he back? He didn't even think Gaia or Zarm had the power to revive the dead and they weren't even in this universe.

"I'm still not sure how I'm alive. But I'm glad I'm back with you guys. But where is everyone else? Where's Film Brain, Sage, Paw, Jew Wario, and the others? Where's The Nostalgia Chick?" asked Ma-ti.

XXXX

Roses glanced at Critic worriedly. Chick had been hurt and captured by the enemy the previous day. Critic hadn't taken the news so well.

"Most of the others are back home. They haven't come yet. But The Nostalgia Chick...."

She trailed off upset about losing one of the few friends she had here.

Chester turned to Ma-ti briefing him.

"The Nostalgiama Chick got taken by a black lantern guy." said Chester.

"Wait. Nostalgia Chick's a prisoner?" asked Ma-ti.

[IHeart]

IHeart was about to speak but Chester and roses did that for her. When Chick was brought up, tears began to swell within the sensitive teen. She felt guilty enough for Critic's physical wounds now he was hurting on the inside, not to mention her ally chick was now in god knows what conditions. Looking to Ma-ti she nodded "We're planning something just we don't know what. We'll get chick back though"
XXXX

"Forgot to mention Morpheus. They took him too. It's a wonder and relief how Patch or Lilo didn't get the bucket" Spoony replied shaking his head at the thought of Chick in danger as well as Morpheus, despite differences Spoony liked chick and was just as worried
XXX

Snob looked to see Critic had awoken and replied calmly "Now Critic. Relax. We're just going to tell yo---"
XXXX

"Ma-ti... You're back" Critic was still shocked and interupted snob only staring into the orbs of ma-ti's eyes. It was real and true. Maybe things were looking up after all. Well chick's capture hurt more than anything in the world even his battle wounds. She would be saved, chick was important and one way or another she would be back but Ma-Ti's arrival brought pride and hope in the distraught leader. Critic wanted to hug him but he only replied softly "We... I... you probably know..."

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-ti smiled glad Critic was okay.

"Yeah. I'm back. We'll get Nostalgia Chick back too." said Ma-ti.

He smiled before remembering his original idea for coming here.

"Do you have an metal detector out here? I want to go back and look for my ring." said Ma-ti.

[Spoony]

Critic paused sadly at that and replied "I'm afraid it's with chick and she..." He breathed a bit before replying "As you know got captured" When Ma-ti swore to help them find Chick, Critic was now determinded more than ever to not screw up his friendship with Ma-Ti this time. Critic smiled a bit and replied "Good to have you on our side. We needed heart"
XXXX

IHeart beemed in joy. She then looked to Ma-ti again and replied "We sure do. Everybody needs heart on there team"
XXX

Spoony and snob smiled. Things were getting better after all

[Ma-Ti]

"Well where is their base? Don't tell me we have to storm a castle or something?" asked Ma-ti.

"No. Nothing like that. We just have to storm his house filled with a bunch of villains." said Roses.

Chester nodded.

"Yeah. A lot of enemies started popping up. Dark Nella, Mechakara, Ma-"

He was cut off as Roses stopped on his foot.

"Ow. What was that for?" said Chester.

"We don't need to list every guy in their army." said Roses.

She was a bit worried though how Ma-ti would take the news that Malachite was back.

[IHeart]

IHeart gave a small glare to Chester before smiling again to Ma-Ti. She really did miss him and really wanted to make him happy and respected. As did the critic, snob and Spoony. Looking to everyone IHeart spoke "Umm Ma-Ti. Things have changed a lot so we got to get you through but it'll be quick and you'll be able to help us in no time"

[Ma-Ti]

"Dark Nella! Mechakara! I thought they were both dead." said Ma-ti.

XXXX

"So are most of the villains that Ask That Guy brought here. Oh speaking of that Maleficent's joined our side. So don't freak out if you see her." said Roses.

XXXX

"Okay. I... wait. what? Maleficent's joined you?" said Ma-ti.

He was shocked a villainess as strong as Maleficent would join the heroes side. Then again he was surprised Ask That Guy had gathered the villains in the first place. He was a creep but didn't seem like a dictator. Maybe he'd changed in the past few months.

[IHeart]

"She did. I know a stretch but still... Can never be ungrateful for someone as powerful as her" Spoony commented. Snob nodded and Critic simply shivered "Yeah. Admittedly hard to get over"
XXXX

IHeart shivered at the mear mention of Mechakara. She had a runin with him before and didn't want to be reminded. Even the shear presence of him made her heart shake. Looking to ma-ti she shrugged and just grimaced at the fact villains were all over them

[Ma-Ti]

Linksano came walking in next stopping to see the group and Ma-ti.

"Ma-ti! You're alive!" shouted Linksano.

XXXX

"Yeah. Who are you?" asked Ma-ti.

XXXX

"I'm Dr. Linksano. I'm from another universe were Linkara went insane and became well me." said Dr. Linksano.

XXXX

"Another Insano? I thought we had enough trouble with one." said Ma-ti.

XXXX

"Well actually there's three not counting myself. The Insano who time traveled, the one who left Spoony's body, and the clone. Haven't really heard from the other two recently. I hope they're not up to something." said Linksano.

XXXX

"Right. Well I guess I need to learn how to fight since I don't have my ring." said Ma-ti.

XXXX

"Don't worry. It's not that hard. It only took up a few days to learn." said Roses.
