Should I wear a flower in my hair more often?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s up to you, sweetie,\u201d answered her husband, Richard Saunders. \u201cYou look beautiful no matter what you wear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re sweet,\u201d sighed the woman, Megumi Hishikawa, happily. When they finished, a woman of African descent with pink hair, eyes, and dress appeared in pink light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpooky,\u201d praised the pink woman, the Chizaran Princess of Peace, Rosadera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what I was going for,\u201d chuckled Megumi. \u201cIs everything ready?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll set!\u201d answered Rosadera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood luck!\u201d wished Richard as Megumi and Rosadera vanished in pink light. He then turned on the t.v. to see Megumi on a set of railway tracks during the night. Rosadera was accompanied by her fellow Princesses, Azuliterii, Moradelia, Rojenthi, and Verdutha. Opposite of Megumi was a steam engine, an old Furness Railway K2 \u201cLarger Seagull\u201d. However, this engine had a difference from its compatriots, it had a face! The engine was blue with red stripes and had a number 2 on the tender. The lamp in front of the engine\u2019s funnel was modeled after a jack-o-lantern. The Chizaran Princesses began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Rojenthi, the Red Princess of Chizara, and the war-time leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Azuliterii, the Blue Princess of Chizara, and the technological leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Rosadera, the Pink Princess of Chizara, and the peace-time leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Verdutha, the Green Princess of Chizara, and the environmental leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I am Moradelia, the Purple Princess of Chizara, and the history leader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is it, ladies and gentlemen!\u201d cheered Rojenthi. \u201cThe final round of the 591,009<sup>th<\/sup>Verse Vs.

With this round, we shall determine who will take home the Time Amethyst! Tell your stories with honor, tell them with pride, and, most importantly, tell them well! Who shall call?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLadies first,\u201d offered Edward kindly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs you wish,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cHeads!\u201d Rosadera flipped a coin and checked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Hard luck, Megumi,\u201d she answered. \u201cEdward, you may begin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy pleasure,\u201d answered Edward. He drew in a breath, then began. \u201cThe year was 1861, the rails belonged to the Metropolitan Railway in London. The famous engineer, Sir John Fowler, was a great man in many ways. Indeed, any engine that has crossed his famous Forth Bridge knows of his work. However, his greatest folly was a locomotive he built for the Metropolitan Railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe had designed the engine to work in the tunnels without producing smoke. Any engine driver who is at the controls of a steam engine would occasionally get a cough while going through a tunnel, but there were engines that needed to go underground, spending their working lives in the tunnels. Some drivers simply coughed the entire journey. Sir Fowler ordered a locomotive built to his unique design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, the engine was a poor steamer. On its first test run, it failed miserably just outside Hanwell Station of the Great Western Railway. Its second test later that year was no better, failing to live up to expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFowler was angry! The engine had failed him! He ordered it to be sheeted up and left where no one could find it. He then went on to order the tests to be covered up and he had denied that the engine ever existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore the engine was hidden, Fowler had some of its parts sold for scrap, mainly boiler fittings. Once he had regained some of his financial loss, he banished the poor engine to a disused tunnel on the Underground System. Down in its tunnel, the engine grew angry. It wasn\u2019t his fault that he had failed! It was the work of his designer! He plotted his revenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA few years later, some workmen were down in the tunnels, removing the rails to the engine\u2019s final resting place. They bricked up the line, not knowing what lay inside. As they turned to leave, an all-mighty crash was heard, and they turned to see the bricked-up tunnel disappear in dust and rocks. The shaft of the tunnel had collapsed, and the engine was lost beneath a ton of rubble. They had sealed the shaft off and, for a while, nothing happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen, one night, an alarm went out on the Underground System! A runaway engine had been seen thundering down the tunnel towards Edgeware Road! Men went down into the tunnels and lifted some rails to derail the engine! \u2026It never came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis happened night after night for a few weeks until men started muttering about the ghostly specter being one of Sir Fowler\u2019s designs. Try as he might, he couldn\u2019t keep it secret any longer. Some photographs of the engine were released to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe sightings of the ghost train stopped for a while, and it was only with Fowler\u2019s death that the engine was forgotten about. \u2026But, on the 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the engine\u2019s failed run to Hanwell, it was seen again, and on every anniversary since!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe engine, now and forever called Fowler\u2019s Ghost, haunts the Underground Tunnels to this day, but it does more than that! It haunts the valleys and haunts the stations! It haunts the goods yards and the sidings! It shrieks across bridges and thunders through the cuttings! It comes to take old engines away, to sheet them up and remove them forever from this world!\u201d Edward paused impressively, watching the nervous reaction of the Chizaran Princesses and Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s\u2026that\u2019s just\u2026wow!\u201d breathed Verdutha as Moradelia hugged her tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI must say, I was truly terrified,\u201d mumbled Rojenthi as she held onto Azuliterii\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEdward, that story was VERY impressive!\u201d praised Rosadera. \u201cHowever, this contest is not yet over. Megumi, whenever you\u2019re ready, it\u2019s your turn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if my story will be AS scary as Edward\u2019s,\u201d muttered Megumi, \u201cbut I\u2019m not giving up now.\u201d She cleared her throat and began. \u201cIn Japan\u2019s Kyoho period, 1716 to 1736, there was a rule called Sankin-k\u014dtai. During this time, the feudal lords, called the daimyos, were required to alternate living in their own homes and in Edo for a year, to strengthen the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate\u2019s central power over Japan. One particular samurai, Hotsumi Kanji, a minor prefect from Kitakuni Province, was making such a journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe stopped by an inn along the way to rest for the night and heard the most beautiful singing voice coming through his room\u2019s walls. It was coming from a Goze, a blind woman who would earn money by singing and playing an instrument, a shamisen being the most commonly used instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHotsumi thought that such a beautiful voice could only come from a beautiful woman, so he let his lust take over. He had learned which room the Goze was staying in and hid himself there during the night. Once the Goze returned, he sprang from the shadows and seized her, ravishing her throughout the night. Oddly, the Goze was not repulsed by such an act. If anything, she enjoyed herself being dominated in such a manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe next morning, the two had woken up. Hotsumi then got a good look at her face and gasped in horror. The Goze\u2019s face was unspeakably ugly! Joy crossed the Goze\u2019s face, thinking she had found love! Oh, if only that were true. But Hotsumi didn\u2019t pronounce her face to be ugly out loud, no. Instead he concocted a plan to get rid of her\u2026permanently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe took the Goze with him on his way to Edo and they went on a mountain road, a <em>convenient<\/em> mountain road. Along the way, Hotsumi pushed the ugly Goze off the road and into a ravine down the mountain, the impact snapping her neck and killing her instantly! When he was satisfied that the deed was done, Hotsumi continued on his way to Edo as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA year later, it was time for another journey to Edo and Hotsumi had completely forgotten the incident. This time, he stopped at a small mountain temple, graciously accepting the monks\u2019 aid and offer for rest. As he slept, he heard a beautiful voice coming through his window. He opened it and a crazed, blind woman jumped into the room! The woman\u2019s milky eyes bored into him as if she could see him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018Who are you?!\u2019 demanded Hotsumi. \u2018How dare you attack me!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018I intend to do worse, Hotsumi!\u2019 hissed the woman. Hotsumi was taken aback when he heard his name. The woman then stepped into the moonlight to reveal her features. Hotsumi almost shrieked in terror! It was the Goze he had killed! Her ghost had returned! \u2018Have you already forgotten last Autumn?!\u2019 demanded the Goze\u2019s ghost. \u2018You played with me, and then tossed me away when you were finished! I have no eyes, but I see you now!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ghost grabbed Hotsumi by the ankles and tore him from his bed! He tried to get away, but the strength of a man is nothing compared to the strength of the rage-fueled dead! She dragged him to the temple\u2019s graveyard and stopped before an open grave. She gave a wicked smile, then pulled him into her embrace, the pair of them falling into the grave! The pull was so strong, it moved the earth over the grave, suffocating him and killing him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe monks at the temple heard the commotion and ran to the graveyard to investigate. They dug as fast as they could, but it was too late. They found Hotsumi\u2019s dead body with the skeleton of a woman wrapped around it. By fate or by bad luck, Hotsumi stayed at the very temple the Goze was buried at after the monks had discovered her corpse in the ravine.\u201d Megumi drew in a breath as she finished her tale. The Chizaran Princesses were all hugging each other tightly and Edward\u2019s jaw was near his buffer beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s\u2026\u201d he stammered, \u201cthat\u2019s\u2026er\u2026that\u2019s\u2026quite a chilling tale!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndeed!\u201d whispered Moradelia. \u201cQuite a frightening warning!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have to say, both stories were scary!\u201d gulped Rosadera. \u201cHowever, only one of you is going home with the Time Amethyst. We shall discuss who shall take it.\u201d The Chizarans vanished, leaving Edward and Megumi alone. The silence was a little awkward for the pair of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026So\u2026\u201d muttered Megumi, \u201c\u2026did you see any ghosts lately?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNone of the scary types,\u201d remarked Edward. \u201cThe only time there was a \u2018ghost\u2019 on Sodor was because of Percy playing a trick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow so?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Well, Thomas doesn\u2019t like it when the story\u2019s told,\u201d mused Edward, \u201cbut, then again, he\u2019s been bragging how he never gets scared as of late, so having someone else to call him out on that will do him good. You see, it all started when Thomas, Percy, and Toby\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few minutes of deliberation, the Chizarans returned to see Edward finishing his less-scary story. \u201c\u2018Anyone would think,\u2019 chuckled Toby, \u2018that our Thomas had just seen a ghost!\u2019\u201d Megumi was giggling when the story finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t believe Thomas fell for that!\u201d laughed Megumi. Rosadera cleared her throat, grabbing their attention. The Chizaran Princesses then turned to the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLadies and gentlemen,\u201d she announced, \u201cwe have our winner! The one that told the scariest story, the new owner of the Time Amethyst, the winner of this round, the champion of the 591,009<sup>th<\/sup> Verse Vs. Verse Rumble Royale&#8230;is Megumi Hishikawa, Kamen Rider Royal and the champion of 8-3-Y-0-N-D-C-1-T-Y!\u201d The cheers were loud and long! \u201cCongratulations, Megumi Hishikawa! You have earned the Time Amethyst! Tell me, do you intend to use it or is it too powerful for anyone to use?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You know, I think I WILL be using it at some point in the future,\u201d remarked Megumi. \u201cI <em>did<\/em> see my future self during some points in my life and I distinctly remember purple portals being involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are multiple ways to open portals of that nature,\u201d replied Moradelia. \u201cHeck, for all we know, <em>I <\/em>could have sent you to your past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You can do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello? Chizaran? Mastery of space and time is part of our gig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, yeah, I keep forgetting that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Closing Ceremony took place on Halloween, with all the Chizaran Princesses and princesses decked out in costumes. Megumi, Edward, and the Third Place Winner, a version of Ben 10\u2019s cousin, Gwen, with her own Omnitrix, stood in front of the Princesses. Gwen dressed as a classic witch, given her Anodite heritage. \u201cLadies and gentlemen,\u201d began Rosadera, \u201cwe thank you all for joining us for this particular 3V2R! These three combatants,\u201d she gestured towards Megumi, Edward, and Gwen, \u201chave proven to be the toughest of this tournament\u2019s contenders. Now, they shall claim their rewards.\u201d Moradelia approached Gwen and handed her a metal glove colored like her Omnitrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGwen Tennyson,\u201d she announced, \u201cThird Place prize is the Omegatrix rig. This will evolve your Ultimates to their projected final evolution before they go extinct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing this thing as a last resort then,\u201d muttered Gwen as she put the glove in her purse. Verdutha then placed a lamp on Edward\u2019s buffer beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEdward,\u201d she pronounced, \u201cSecond Place prize is the Lamp of the Lady, generously donated to us by Lady of the Magic Railroad. This lamp can show hidden paths, find lost engines, and grant incredibly good luck to the user for a full month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know of an engine who could use a lot of good luck after this month,\u201d mused Edward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The engine he was talking about was a green tank engine with a saddle-tank and the number 6 on his bunker. Somehow, the poor engine, Percy, had ended up in a tree after his train of trucks had pushed him down a hill! He rested in the tree with bent buffer beams, a cracked funnel, snapped side-rods, and a hole in his bunker. His crew had jumped clear before he ended up in the tree. His best friend, Thomas, a blue E2 tank engine with the number 1 on his side tanks, was trying to figure out how Percy could stay up in the tree while the rescue crew used the Breakdown Train to secure Percy. \u201cHow did this\u2026?!\u201d spluttered Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, and I don\u2019t care!\u201d hissed Percy. \u201cAll I want to do is get down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m\u2026kind of in the same boat as Thomas,\u201d muttered Megumi after Edward explained what happened to Percy. Rosadera then handed Megumi an amethyst length of her pinky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMegumi Hishikawa,\u201d she proclaimed, \u201cas promised, you are the master of the Time Amethyst. Use it however you see fit but guard that thing jealously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know where to keep it until the time is right,\u201d promised Megumi. The winners then thrust their prizes into the air in a sign of victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith all that,\u201d declared Rosadera to the audience, \u201cit\u2019s time for the Closing Parade! If the winners will follow us, we\u2019ll all go to the Winner\u2019s Float!\u201d Edward offered them a ride and they graciously accepted. The Chizaran Princesses simply made themselves a coach while Megumi and Gwen entered Edward\u2019s cab. Once he was coupled to the coach, Edward whistled twice and puffed to the float garage, a few miles away. It had recently been modified to let living engines into it and onto the float. Once Edward slowly puffed onto the float, everyone stepped out of his cab or coach. In fact, the coach vanished once the Chizaran Princesses stepped out. The float then moved through the streets of Chizara as the Chizaran Spectrum Marching Band led the way. The parade was definitely Halloween-themed as various Chizarans came out in costumes and spooky decorations lined the buildings and streetlights. Like the last time Megumi fought in the 3V2R, the parade was a good two hours before it arrived at the closing torch. Because he had no hands, Edward\u2019s fireman accepted the torch on his behalf as Gwen and Megumi took theirs. They then threw their torches into the Closing Torch and it leapt high into the air, flashing in all the colors of the Chizaran rulers. \u201cLadies and gentlemen from all realities,\u201d began Rosadera, \u201cwe cannot thank you enough for supporting past, present, and future tournaments. We thank you all for tuning in to this rare occasion when all Halloweens line up so perfectly! As we all return home, we urge you all to stay safe and have fun! Happy Halloween!\u201d The cameras then turned back to Blancalmarem and Nemengra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLadies and gentlemen, we thank you all for joining us this Halloween!\u201d began Blancalmarem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe enjoyed seeing all the costumes of the viewers and contestants!\u201d continued Nemengra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks to your support, this tournament was a success!

Chizara doesn\u2019t have that! I want in!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVerdutha?\u201d asked Richard as he and Lisa dressed as Lilly Munster came up to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMadam Verdutha, what are you doing here?\u201d quizzed Lisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMegumi told me that the people here trick-or-treat at all ages!\u201d answered Verdutha. \u201cI came here for advice on a route.
