Elsewhere...amidst a sea of stars, we find ourselves gazing at a dark, foreboding planet. Upon the desolate landscape sat a massive, spiral-like fortress looms like an ominous mountain. The fortress itself, at first glance, looks like it was constructed from a towering city. Atop its highest tower, is a large and spacious room, save for thirteen thrones and a large table in the center. The thrones themselves were of unique design and shape, twelve of the headrests was modeled after one of the animals of the Chinese zodiac.
Sitting in the "snake" throne was a tall man with extremely translucent-looking pale skin and straight waist-length black hair with the front strands falling to his shoulders. He had a long face with pronounced cheekbones, golden eyes with slits in his pupils, purple markings around his eyes and fang-like teeth. His clothes consist of plain grey garbs with black pants and a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back and blue tomoe-shaped earrings and a black polo neck under it. This was one of the three Sannin; Orochimaru. Orochimaru was watching, quite infuriatingly, at a hologram of the Straw Hats saying goodbye to Aurora.
Orochimaru: I cannot believe this! Those little brats took down Maleficent and Eneru! Who'd thought it?!
Orochimaru slams his fist into the throne's arm. From behind his chair appeared a tall, imposing man, garbed in an Arabian-style attire and a cobra-head staff. This was the vizier Jafar.
Jafar: The fact that two of our strongest members were defeated by them; one must wonder just how strong these pirates are. And by the way, Orochimaru, you're in my seat.
Orochimaru: *sarcastically* Oh...of course, Jafar. How silly of me.
Orochimaru gets up from the throne, allowing Jafar to sit down upon it.
????: Why bother, those pirates actually did us a favor...well for me at least.
On the "dragon" throne is a woman with a fairly average physical build, and a large, black, dotted snake tattoo winding down either arm. Her facial features consist of eyes containing yellow irises with black pupils, and blonde hair arranged in a spiked style, with two long strands extending downwards framing either side of her face, that entwine each other like a caduceus' snake to rest upon her chest. She is wearing a black body-length suit with hood, which extends downwards to her knees. The hood itself is adorned with an eye-like marking upon either side which, interestingly, when worn in addition to the shape of her hair, gives it the appearance of a snake's mouth, with teeth and fangs. This was the Snake Witch, Medusa Gorgan.
Medusa: If it hadn't been for them, I'd still be playing second fiddle to her. But in all seriousness, her defeat poses a big problem. I'd say we rid of them now and be done with it before they could do more damage.
????: ...And waste valuable resources when we should focus on the plan? That, my dear seems a bit extreme don't you think?
A breath of smoke puffs out from a shadowy corner, briefly showing a pair of eyes lurking in the shadows. It moves towards the "rat" throne revealing a slender yet muscular rat with black combed hair, human-like fingers, black top hat, white opera gloves, and a golden cane. In its other hand, he carried a fancy looking cigarette holder. This was the criminal genius, Professor Rattigan.
Rattigan: Besides, they hardly seem much of a threat anyhow.
Medusa: I'd be more cautious if I were you, rat-boy. I know from experience that even the smallest of snakes have the deadliest bite.
Rattigan: What did you call me?!
????: Oh, what's the matter...did the little rat lose his cool to the snake lady? Hahahahahaha!
