On Earth, fog starts to spread around the vast mountains and caves from the long fought battle, yet it seems as though its not won. Coming from outside the small cave of stuff, Gumball peeks his out from behind a rock, looking in all directions, silently pointing his finger and tail toward the path back down to the ground. Danny, Penny (shapeshifted into a wolf), Lady Hiss with a muscly arm Magisword, Skullivan with a Toothpaste Magisword, Prug, and Grup step out from behind the young blue cat and stop and duck behind a small border at the edge of the cliff path, looking down at the foggy surface as the sun barely shines down on them.
Lady Hiss looking at Danny's face: Do you perhaps need any sunssscreen, Danny? You look kinda pale.
Danny looking under his glove at his skin: ...Huh. Never noticed that. I'm good.
Grup: Do you see any robots yet?
Prug looking up at the sky: No. But I see something big. It looks like a giant building floating in the sky.
Penny looking up too: Huh?
The Echo Space Station barely descends from above the Earth to the very edge of the atmosphere where its lower hull can be seen in the shadows of the clouds, big enough to be seen across the city!
Penny: Oh no! The space station's gotten closer! But why?
Danny: You sure its not cause we're so high up from the ground?
Penny: No. It wasn't visible when we were flying around. It shouldn't be like this. (Sniffs)
Suddenly, Danny's ghost senses go off and Penny detects something approaching!
Penny: Guys, look out! I smell the drones coming! And they have the scent of burning wood…
Danny: They're destroying everyone's homes! We'd better hurry! Ready your weapons!
As the group aim their weapons and power themselves up, about 10 of the smaller Echo Drones fly out from the clouds slowly scanning the ground. Seems simple enough until behind them, 20 more Commando Units follow and a tall and wide triangular object slowly descends from the skies.
Skullivan: Uh oh. Looks like the calvalry's here.
Danny: Don't worry, Skully. We'll keep em back while you guys prepare the rockets! Grup, keep your sights on that thing that just came down. We'll hold off those drones!
Grup saluting: Roger, Captain Phantom!
Penny transforms back into a dragon and Gumball gets on her back and rides off with her and Danny. He has a special Homing Beacon Magisword equipped and uses it to target multiple robots coming for them for Penny to shoot perfectly! Each of her fireballs manage to scorch the drones' hulls, but each of the commandos keep flight and get into a diamond formation for a combined laser attack! Without thinking, Danny gets in front of Penny and Gumball releasing a wide ecto shield that just barely holds itself together from the beams! Some of Danny's energy is drained as a result, and he's forced to rely on his Rocket Magisword to fly and evade the incoming robots. Of course, it's taking some getting used to, unable to control it since he's holding the rocket by a handle, buzzing around the sky while the strange tower just below him starts deploying weapons of some sort. About 8 turrets protrude from the front of its narrow center, two heavy turrets on its sides, and one aiming laser at its peak. The aiming laser targets toward Rhybloflaven for a quick zoom in to the villages before a single shot to its market center, completely annihilating the place just as civilians were about to leave their hiding spots. This prompts them all to go back into hiding, but to many of them, it's already too late. The force of the cannon was enough to leave a massive crater in the ground and completely decimate nearby buildings and statues. This quickly catches MaBarnacle and Cyrus' attention when they and their group arrive just in time to see the carnage.
Bimm getting out of her tidal wave form: Oh no! The village center! It's gone!
Simone: Evidently! There's a huge tower over there that's blowin' stuff up! That's my job!
Coming from above, Starfire, Firefly, and Dani descend to the group.
Dani: There you are! What've you been doing this whole time?!
Morbidia: Doing our JOBS, thank you very much!
Momo hugging Firefly by the chest: Firefly! I didn't think you'd come to see me! Did Jimmy send you guys?
Starfire: Yes. Some of us were just brought here from the lab as well. We thought you all were in danger and we have come to find you.
Cyrus shrugging: Oh, we've been doin' just fine. But we've got bigger things to worry bout now. (Points to the distance) See that tower over there? It's like some sorta martyr unit tryin' to blow up the terrain.
Frank flapping his wings: BOK BOK!
Dani: A martyr, you say? (Gets on communicator) Jimmy, are you getting this?
Jimmy back at the academy: Yes! And Zim and I are reading more robots approaching the atmosphere! And judging by their size and weapons utilities, they're a lot stronger than the ones we've fought already.
Hoppus: That's why we've come back, Neutron! There were three of them able to take us on without question. We need to bring back Combaticus and take out those heavy turrets!
Goddard: BARK BARK!
Dib on his communicator: He's right! There's too many of them for the combiner alone to handle! Let alone any of us!
Gaz: Whiner! Just call in the A-Team!
Jimmy: Oh, I forgot! We have people who're perfect for this kind of job! Including yours truly! Dib, Gaz, Goddard, you're with me! Zim, you take over the communications on this end. We'll take point.
Zim: Fool! A mighty irken warrior doesn't just stand by and-
Jimmy running out the room with everyone: Thanks buddy! Bye!
Zim alone sighing: ...Humans...They're just jealous of how awesome I am and always have been. Isn't that right, GIR?
GIR playing with a combustible potion from the potion's lab: What's this do?!
As Jimmy and the rest of the gang exit down the hall, making sure to bring Nicole, Anais, and Yuki along for the journey, a tiny explosion goes off in Cyrus' classroom that makes the ceiling and floors shake.
Jimmy getting out his communicator through VOX: All units: It's time for our backup plan! Prep yourselves for battle at my coordinates! Goddard, Flycycle!
Outside, Goddard jumps off the academy tower and transforms into a hoverbike that Jimmy hops on and rides, while Dib activates his new rocket boots and carries his sister beside himself, which she looks irritated about as always. Nicole, Anais, and Yuki take one big step together that ends with them leaping across the sky like superwomen; everyone going straight for the town of Rhybloflaven. Meanwhile, in the bridge of the Echo Space Station for what is quite possibly the battle to end it all, the brave and determined Familiar, Cattus, Plunderbite, and Princess Zange enter through the elevator the injured Warriors for Hire had fallen out of, still stained from their blood. Each one of them keep a straight face this time. Both slightly pissed and determined to know the truth behind all this.
Echo Boss monologuing while slouched in his chair: Oh, the joys of bein' a badass... (Looks at Knowledge Magisword) Pretty soon, babe, we're gonna take over the whole damn galaxy. Then we'll take out that associate of ours, thinkin' he all that. I know I'm talkin' to myself again, but my drones're busy and you're the only one listenin'.
Cattus: I would not bet on it, villain!
Echo Boss twitching his chair: Wha..?! Oh...It's you guys. Ya even brought the Princess this time. Even after those so-so Warriors were supposed to have set an example. (Slouches arms) You're supposed to be followin' their footsteps like ya always do.
Familiar: Not this time, man. We can't have your robots buzzing around every which way for the rest of our lives. So we figured we'd take it to the source.
Echo Boss: Huh. So ya'll ARE more independent than I thought. Too bad you're not as smart, cause you just dug up your own grave when you walked through that door. Gotta say though, I'm pretty surprised ya showed up from the beginning to take out my factory. (Raises eyebrows) It would cost me an arm and a leg to fix all that. (Holds Knowledge Magisword) But whatever. It's just business. I'm sure stuff like sales tax and this here merchandise would be enough to suffice.
Familiar squinting: …Wait a second... It's just business?
Plunderbite: Profit..?
Cattus: Merchandise..?
Zange: Sales Tax? Not really sounding any bit suspicious anymore… DeBizz!
The man in the iron mech quickly turns his chair facing toward the squad with his legs crossed and his hands together near his exposed face without the mask. DeBizz looks like he always does, but with the Commando Suit on, it makes him look much more menacing than he originally was. Despite the upgrade, he continues to wear a smug grin that screams overconfidence; likely also due to the fact that he just got done beating the Warriors for Hire to a pulp and has the Knowledge Magisword sat against his chair.
DeBizz turning his chair around: Ya got that right, Princess! It's about time ya figured out it was me! The commandos and this whole station are like a living hint! It wasn't even that hard to set up. I went eavesdropping one day and saw V n' P visitin' that Toon Force out there, so I snuck in and took photos of the place and it's projects!
Familiar: One, that's creepy. Two, Jimmy's lab surveillance was busted after an attack they went through a while back.
Cattus: So that's how you were able to replicate his technology! Including Bobert the Droid!
DeBizz: Especially Bob's! He was the easiest one to copy off of. After that, I went back in with my company and proposed an idea. What if I made drones for military purposes? Sell them to planets across the galaxy? And since I know where Jimmy's place is, I could send some there too! All I needed to do was spice up the designs a little, build my own factory where no one could see it, change my company name, take all my boys and turn them into commandos, etc, etc, etc. Then I just sent them off to other planets and captured the Princess to get free publicity. And also to work around some of the kinks on a test drive for my associate.
Plunderbite: You mean to tell me this whole story we just went through was all a big marketing stunt just to sell your junk to space terrorists?!
Familiar: This is starting to sound like the beginning of a big superhero movie.
DeBizz: Yep! And I couldn't have done it without you guys! Without ya'll, none of the commandos I just sent down to the surface would be as strong as they are! Nor would any of my bots in general. Not only do they pay well, but they're practically the way of the future! Now, who wants to die? I'm already wearin' this gear just for this occasion. And I just beat the snot outta those Warriors for Nothing in under 6 minutes. Go ahead n' whip out another one of your Magiswords and just try to hit me with your best shot. See what happens when you use gimmicks to beat perfection.
Zange taking a stance: You said it, not me.
Familiar: You're gonna take him on yourself?
Zange palming her fists: Yeah. I've been itching to get my hands dirty with him since he tried to turn my castle into one of his attractions.
Plunderbite pointing to DeBizz: I know your style too. I remember you once sold us pirates weapons to break into places. Sometimes for your own dirty work, kinda like that trap you set up for me and my buddies!
DeBizz: And ya'll were fantastic puppets! Didn't even think ya had the brain capacity to come here!
Cattus: That is not true, DeBizz! You've learned to cheat!
DeBizz: Cheat?! (Shakes hands in front of group) No, no! I'm just tryin' to get by whenever I can. Which reminds me. (Presses button on wrist) Activate the rest of the martyrs.
Outside in the factory down below, Glori and Phibby make their way across the catwalks to the hangar bay containing rows upon rows of inactive martyr towers hanging above the ray shields viewing the planet.
Glori: Woah..! Didn't expect to see all this being made!
Phibby: These things look kinda like half my triangle!
Glori: Whatever they are, they can't be good. Help me find a control panel. Then we'll smash it to pieces and-
Factory Computer: ALL MARTYRS, EJECT TO POINT R-2765!
The clamps holding the towers in place unlock and let go of the massive weapons, dropping each one down to the planet's very atmosphere one at a time! Quickly, Glori sees the control panel on another catwalk above!
Glori: Phibs, toss me up there! Hurry!
Phibby picks up Glori with his hands under her feet and lobs her over to the top control panel for her to stab into it with her sword, keeping only one of the martyrs at its hinges.
Factory Computer: ATTENTION! MARTYR 84-G HAS BEEN COMPROMISED! CANNOT DEPLOY FINAL WEAPON! ENGAGING TARGETS!
An extremely loud alarm goes off along with the flashing red lights in the ceiling and catwalks. Hundreds of smaller drones and some commandos eject out of the halls of the martyr bays; each one locking on the two warriors who surprisingly get excited!
Glori and Phibby drawing their weapons: OH YEAH! (Charge into combat) YAAAAAH!
Phibby uses his shield like a moving truck to ram into the many incoming bots on the catwalk in front of him while Glori cuts the drones behind them in half with her sword! Seeing an exploit, she slashes a pole with the alarm light to use as an extra sword for her to defend herself with! One drone shoots very close to Glori's foot and almost knocks her down, only for her to turn to the flying robot and lunge the pole right into the machine's oily lens! On Earth, it's no different. The situation has gotten much worse as Danny is barely able to fly around with his rocket sword! Grup, Prug, Skullivan, and Lady Hiss are busy shooting at the robots firing down on them and the mountain! One of the commandos lands right in front of them, startling them!
Prug: Uh oh!
The Commando Unit takes a stance and prepares to shoot its cannons right into Prug's face, but Grup gets in front of him and fires an Anvil at the drone. This doesn't phase him and he shoots anyway, missing the group but causing a rumble when the blast hits the side of the cliff. Sullivan falls on his face and accidentally shoots a Spider Web at the drone's visors with his Web Magisword. It distracts him and causes him to shoot out of control. Lady Hiss uses her Musly rms to push the robot off the cliff while its confused.
Lady Hiss: That wassss eassier than thought.
Skullivan: I call it luck.
Prug shooting with a Bee Magisword: Look out! There's more!
Several smaller drones start swarming around the small weirdos trying to blow them up from above like bombers! They bombshell the mountains in a straight line, causing Grup to fall from the rubble and catch his wing in the middle of a falling rock!
Grup falling: NYOOOOOOOOoooooo….
When it seems that Grup is gone for good, he immediately rises back up from the thick fog below being held by Danny in his arm.
Grup still screaming: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Danny holding Grup: Dude, you can fly.
Grup: I know, but I can't help it! It's too scary!
Drone Commando: Concentrate more firepower!
Gumball coming out from behind with Penny: Roger rodger!
Narrator: ANVIL MAGISWORD!
Gumball uses his Anvil Magisword to shoot the back of the commando where its weakness is, causing it to shut off and go out of control falling into another two robots!
Dragon Penny yelling: Prug! Grup! You're both dragons! Act like one!
Prug flapping his small wings: Oooh! You're right! I have wings! (Jumps off cliff and struggles to fly from the weight) Wo-hoo!
Prug flies over to Danny and Grup hops out of his arms flying forward to his brother when two small robots jet over to them to attack. Together, both dragons take a deep breath and breathe fire from their noses, burning the machines to ashes!
Grup twirling around: YAY! It worked!
Danny: Heads up! There's more towers coming down to the ground!
As more martyrs begin to fall to the surface, Jimmy and his group make their way near the outskirts where the main battle is taking place, reuniting with the rest of the heroes from cutting off the second wave.
Dib: There you guys are!
Hoppus: Jimmy! We need those N-Men packets, pronto!
Jimmy: You're just in time, too. I've got extra packets right here! Goddard, deploy the bags!
Goddard shooting out the packets: BARK BARK!
Witchy Simone, Bimm, Hoppus, Danelda, Gateaux, and Morbidia each get a new packet and combine them with the Combiner Magisword, finally transforming back into Combaticus! She jumps in joy, and next to her, a ghost portal opens from Retroville. Together, Jenny, Brad, Wulf, Jack, Alt. Bobert, Flora, Scotsman (who by this point is in a wheelchair), Plankton, Carl, Sheen, and Ashi arrive through the warp gate.
Jenny: We're here, Jimmy! What do you want us to do?
Jimmy: It's gonna be a doozy, but I need you guys out there disabling those martyr towers!
Brad pulling out his anti-ecto cannon: We're on it, Boy Genius!
Jimmy: I'm 25.
Scaramouche pulling out his flute: This'll only take but a second, babe.
Scaramouche points to his flute and winks toward the Mysterious Hooded Woman, who sits there cocking her head back in confusion. He starts playing a jazzy tune that starts putting random drone parts together into a giant mech about the size of Combaticus. In it, Carl and Sheen control it from the head.
Sheen: Aw yeah!
Alt. Bobert scanning the targets: Targets marked. West tower. East city sector.
Dib directing Nicole and Yuki: West tower. East city sector.
Dib raises his arms and a small shockwave boosts around him. He and Yuki leap forward to one of the tall turret towers and Yuki jets herself right through it from top to bottom then back upward to the peak where the primary turret is while avoiding explosive shots from the side cannons. Using her upper body strength, she turns the turret a complete 180 and shoots it at the other triangle shaped structure next to it and some of the flying commando drones. She tears off the gun and tosses it into another two robots near her and backs off for Nicole to make a falling punch to the very center of the peak, causing a rumble in the tower that makes it crumble to pieces. As the structure comes apart, Dib sprints across the surface to another tower through a forward leap as he pulls out his electric wrist saber and slices right through the machine from its side. It splits in half and explodes. Meanwhile, Jenny is busy shooting down drones with her heavy cannons and notices Carl and Sheen running with their makeshift mech to the next tower. They ram into its side from the bottom with their shoulder but seem to be struggling to knock the structure down.
Sheen: Com'on Carl! Put your back into it!
Carl: I am! My scapula just hurts.
Combaticus running: Hold on little dudes!
Combaticus braces herself against the tower with Carl and Sheen. Meanwhile, Jenny rockets with a heavy fist into the wall of the machine, and Wulf rams into it with his back with help from Neddy, lifting the tall structure up with his hands underneath its edge and causing it to fall into the side of another tower! Both crumble to pieces from the damages and more start to fire down on the Toon Force! Wulf, Dani, Valerie, and Goddard raise an energy barrier around everyone for their next attack.
Plankton rubbing his hands together: Groovy. (Reaches into pocket) Let's see just what these things are made of.
Plankton pulls out a small device shaped like a button and gets inside Scotsman's gun-leg like a cannon.
Scotsman shooting his gun: FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Plankton is shot right into the crease of one of the turrets of a tower closest to him. Inside, he plants the mysterious device he had built onto the central engine of the machine before crawling back out and falling into Alt. Anais' hands when she leaps up to catch him.
Plankton descending with Anais: Toss me over to that one over there!
Anais throws Plankton over to another martyr while Brad pinpoints a number of commando drones making their way to the fight with Danny and the dragons on their tail!
Brad pointing upward: Hey! I can see Danny back there!
Dani: And they're chasing after those commandos!
Danny getting on his communicator: Sorry for the wait, dudes! Had a bit of a rough landing, but I'm back with some pals! We're trying to draw those drones from the mountains to save those monsters back there, but there's too many of em!
Sam on her communicator: We'll be right there, Danny! Just tell us where you are!
Back at the Academy, Sam Manson runs over to the Neutron Cruiser with Timmy, Chester, and AJ, and activates it for flight.
Sam pressing a few keys: We're here, Jazz! Danny's sending you the coordinates now!
Far from the fight, in Amity Park's Fenton H.Q, Jazz Fenton activates an oracle chair hooked up to multiple wires underneath the basement floor from the hidden section of the wall.
Jazz giddy: EEEE! Finally! Something to do again! (Gets in seat and activates Headset) Strap yourselves in!
The passenger shuttle closes its hatch doors and gets piloted by Jazz remotely for flight to the mountains of Rhybloflaven where the Cave Weirdos are still under heavy fire! Both Grup and Prug try their hardest to burn through many of the smaller bots, but all the commandos easily outgun them and blow them to the cliff with their friends. Lady Hiss tosses boulders at the enemies, which manages to damage them, but not enough to keep them from shooting back, until the cruiser arrives with backup. Chester and Sam man the heavy turrets of the ship docked next to the cliff to block the enemy fire, while AJ and Timmy hop out from the side hatch with giant wands of their own, smashing through another ground troops landing! Two commandos descend to them and start up their wrist sabers, attempting multiple chops to them that the two friends block; all while leaning down a bit to one knee. Seeing an opening, Skullivan takes out another Rocketship Magisword and combines it with a Firework Magisword, strapping them two of them together with some duct tape from Grup and firing the weapons right into the commando attacking AJ, blowing it far into the sky and exploding! Back down on the ground near the martyrs, Momo hops onto Firefly for ride.
Momo: Ok, buddy! Time to fly!
Firefly ascending: REEEEEE!
Firefly boosts himself upward, also grabbing hold of Ashi and Jack when they reach for his feet. They're both lifted to the peak of another tower shooting right at the city with its main turret. Jack, in particular, pulls out his signature sword and severs the turret's nose, and Ashi uses a chained whip to turn it on its angle, jamming the tubes in the machine! The top of the martyr explodes and disables the rest of the structure's weaponry! Meanwhile, back down below, a commando unit catches up with Brad and Jenny, forcing the two to act. Brad keeps the enemy distracted by shooting at it with his launcher. Each blast makes the drone flinch but doesn't hold it back as it stomps forward charging its cannons. When above it, Jenny makes a heavy landing onto its back where its weakness is, which smashes right into it and shuts the robot down!
Jenny: Nice job, Brad! Behind you!
Brad hears another three smaller robots coming after him, but thankfully, Bobert from the alternate timeline floats above them and shoots them down piece by piece with his machine guns!
Brad: You think anyone's gonna confuse you for these guys?
Alt. Bobert: I do not intend for them to. (Scans drones and commando unit) Stand back.
Bobert descends to the downed commando unit and continues to scan for any leads. However, behind him, another commando chops down a tree and almost causes it to fall, when out of nowhere, Flora runs over and catches the fallen tree with one arm and tosses it right into the commando and crushes it!
Flora breathing heavily: Hagh..!
Jenny: Woah..! I didn't even see that coming! Nice!
Flora: My pleasure!
Tree next to fallen tree: AW SICK! That was my brother! You dick!
Brad: ...Did that tree just talk..?
Gumball coming down to the ground with Penny: Eh. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Back next to one of the other martyr towers, Gaz looks up to one of the machine turrets and looks down at the side hatches. She opens a small door containing several cables inside that she uses to plug her phone in. Using a special game code, she takes control of one of the heavy auto turrets and shoots it at the tower in front of it, causing it to quickly collapse under its own weight! For the one that Plankton's in, however, he checks for another device in his pocket, but instead finds nothing.
Plankton: Drat! Out of bombs..! If yer gonna do things right, you've gotta do it yourself! (Hops out of side hatch to the ground) Hey, emo girl! Light em up!
Gaz grunts for a moment and aims the auto turret toward the tower Plankton just escaped from and shoots it down, causing it and the other three Plankton got inside of to blow themselves up at the same time! The explosions are so massive, each one can be viewed from outer space, where back at the space station, the away team prepare to battle DeBizz in his own Commando Suit. He wears a smug grin and puts on his suit's helmet, bending over and charging his back lasers, to which Familiar reacts and yells to the others,"DODGE!" They all do so and barely avoid the massive laser beams that blow a hole in the elevator shaft and cause an explosion in the back of the chamber, in addition to causing a fire from the intense heat left on the ground! Just after the attack, DeBizz activates his back rockets and heads straight for Familiar! Catty Rumpus uses strategy by starting his boosters to jet past his opponent when he's coming at him head on! Exposed, DeBizz is punched in his back where his engines are with a loud "CLANK," and he quickly retaliates with an iron fist to Familiar's right cheek! While in mid-air, the young warrior does an upward spin kick with his left leg using the boosters on his open-toed boot, which DeBizz ends up blocking with his right arm and activates his wrist sabers!
DeBizz getting his balance: Not bad, Fam! (Lunges)
The fast lunge cuts through Familiar's jacket and just barely misses his stomach to his surprise! Luckily, coming from beside DeBizz is Plunderbite yelling with a warrior's cry for a successful right punch to the evil businessman's head, which had enough force to crack his helmet and knock him off balance! He continues to throw two more jabs to his face before ramming his right fist into his stomach, lifting him off the ground! But while in the air, DeBizz fires up his rockets and makes a twin lunge at the pirate, which he again misses but startles the man! DeBizz hovers up to the ceiling and blasts a few girders from the frames to crush everyone! Thankfully, Cattus came prepared and uses his Whirlwind Magisword to catch all the falling debris! With it, Zange sprints over and does a heavy drop kick to one of the steel beams to shoot it right back at the villain's gut! He sees it and jerks his body over to his side, though not fast enough to avoid the beam from hitting his leg rocket and fly him out of control! As he falls, he takes one hand and pushes Familiar down onto one of the floor windows, which were cracked from DeBizz' battle with the Warriors for Hire. Both of them land, staring face to face and putting up their guns. DeBizz throws a slow downward left jab, and he misses. Familiar throws another downward kick, and he misses. However, when DeBizz kicks him in the side of his right leg into one of the boosters, Familiar flips over and rams his foot into his opponent's neck, causing sparks to fly out! Startled, DeBizz quickly grabs hold of Familiar's throat with his other hand! Quickly, Plunderbite rushes to the rescue for the distressed young warrior, only to get backhanded against the edge of the floor!
Familiar slowly getting his neck crushed: Uurgh..! (Aims cannon at window below him) Mmph..!
Without thinking, Familiar shoots opens the glass he's laying against below he and DeBizz to the outside vacuum of space, causing the air inside to get sucked out of the chamber and take both fighters with it! Everyone else grab onto Plunderbite, who's still holding himself against the edge with his claws while the airlock seals itself automatically!
Computer: EMERGENCY AIRLOCK ACTIVATED
Plunderbite: Little buddy!
Outside, DeBizz is protected from the lack of air thanks to his suit while Familiar is having a moment of suffocation before his Neutron upgrades activate an exo shield around him to keep him from dying and freezing from the cold! He holds his chest and catches his breath in relief; his eyes locked onto his opponent, who's activated his thrusters under his soles and back.
DeBizz hovering in front of Familiar: That Neutron guy sure knows how to make some good tech, huh, Catty Rumpus?
Familiar: How much do you know about the Toon Force already?
DeBizz: Just enough to let my benefactor know what he's up against. And he ain't alone. There's a million other people I could be supplyin' right now that could use these weapons.
Familiar: You're a warmonger.
DeBizz: I prefer agent. I just want a little somethin' back for all my hard work in this. Even if it means I gotta knock someone's lights out for once! And besides, I'm practically doin' all ya'll a favor! Everyone knows already that there's a war goin' around out there, and those peeps you call friends brought ya in it!
Familiar: Yeah, yeah. Tell that to the business end of my heel!
Familiar flashes forward and does a double kick to the chest of DeBizz' suit, pushing him back against the hull of the space station. He then activates his own wrist sabers and lunges at him, only for the enemy to grab hold of them! He headbutts his forehead and shoots him in the side with one of his cannons. Familiar gravitates back a little, but his boosters keep him from drifting into deep space. The rockets increase in power to give Familiar much more of a push into DeBizz' armor, blowing the two of them across the metal walls and breaking the surface! Taking both arms, DeBizz takes Familiar by his tail and slams him down into the steel himself!
Familiar scraping against the walls: AAGH!
To the rescue, Cattus the One Blade flies from the bridge with his face covered by his scarf, only rocketing as fast as he can to avoid suffocation with his Whirlwind sword! He crashes straight into DeBizz' chin and breaks him into the station at the ceiling of the lower hangar where they fall out of sight. On Earth, as the fight between the heroes and the Echo units continues to boil down, Jimmy Neutron gets his A-Game by summoning his personal rocketship seemingly out of nowhere from his Hypercube for flight! He jumps in the cockpit when it jets for him and takes the fight further into the clouds along with Firefly, Momo, and Jenny. The ship opens its side hatches containing 6 rows of homing missiles, firing at the commandos surrounding them! One of the Commandos, however, rams itself into the side of the ship and sends it into Jenny's jetpack wing! The two of them tumble out of control, but Jenny grabs hold of the throttles for balance. Both of the fighters crash land, and Jimmy fumbles into the grass. When a commando attempts to shove its metal knuckles into his forehead, a pile of scraps collides with the back of its head and disables the batteries! Behind it is Nyando, equipped with a green wooden slingshot and chunks of scrap metal from the broken drones.
Jimmy getting back up: Thanks kid!
Nyando: No problem! Just followin' the footsteps of an old man!
Old Man popping up behind him: I knew I could count on you when I first saw ya in the shelter! Good to have you around!
Nyando startled: Goodness gracious, grandpa!
Cyrus: Yeah. One more kid for us to worry about gettin' a scratch.
Nyando: Oh don't worry about that, Professor. I'm an orphan.
Cyrus: Oh. That answers that.
6 more Commandos land to try and intercept the group, but Danny, Dani, and Goddard land with Gumball and Penny along with them.
Abi: Oh brother...An ambush..!
Jimmy: Not to worry! Jenny, Goddard, shut down your audio receptors!
Narrator: GHOSTLY WAIL, SURROUND SOUND, MEGAPHONE COMBO!
Gumball covering his ears: Quick! Hit that high note!
Dani, Danny, and Jimmy activate an intense screeching wail that causes the drones in front of them to malfunction and shatter their glass visors, unable to bare the effects! They all collapse to the ground!
Narrator: GHOSTLY ICE BREATH!
Danny and Dani freeze the robots in place and Jenny does a dive kick into them, shattering their metal limbs!
Danny: Phew..! That takes care of that!
Coming from above, the Neutron Cruiser makes a landing next to the group with Skullivan and Lady Hiss onboard beside Sam.
Sam: Hey guys! I just dropped Timmy and his pals off at the town. They're gonna make sure no one else is out there against those martyrs.
Jimmy: Good work, Sam!
Bobert hovers over from behind the cruiser greeting Jimmy and Gumball. This catches Skullivan and Lady Hiss' attention as the two of them take out Firecracker Magiswords and aim at him.
Gumball: Wait, wait! Don't shoot. He's one of us.
Skullivan: You mean this short Cyclops is a good guy?
Nyando: Yeah. He looks pretty mean.
Bobert: My apologies for my intimidating appearance. I am the template the Echo Units had copied off of, along with any Neutron tech.
Skullivan: Oh.
More robots fly over from both sides, and Danny jets straight for the nearest Echo Drone using his speed along with Grup's Magisword, overshadowing it and using it's cannons against the other troops! Before a different trooper could try and blast Danny controlling the mech, Combaticus slams a tree down on it using her gravity powers!
Combaticus: Hey! You'd better watch yourself next time, Ghost Boy! (Gets shot by stray beam and blocks) EINSTEIN, do ya have a plan or what?!
Jimmy: I'm thinking. I'm thinking! In the meanwhile, Plankton should be taking care of the remaining martyr towers as we speak! (Gets on radio via Goddard) Are you alright, Sheldon?
Plankton getting behind cover by a fallen tree: I've done all I could, Jimbo. But there's just too many of em! Not to mention those robots comin' every which way like bees! (Jumps away from small explosion over to Wulf for cover) They've got us pinned!
Brad on his communicator running from rapid fire: Those things're aiming straight for the city!
Brad hops on the back of Valerie's jetboard flying away from a forward blaze!
Jenny turning on her rocket boots: I'm coming, Brad! (Jets away)
While everyone is scrambling trying to find ways of dealing with both the martyr towers and the drones at the same time, Nyando takes a peek at the environment. He notices the remaining 8 towers are lined in a circle formation around the Toon Force, and when Bobert attempts an energy shot onto one of the commandos, it deflects it with a ray shield. This quickly gives the young cat an idea!
Nyando patting Jimmy's hip: Don't ya worry about a thing, boss. (Runs off) I'll take care of it!
Jimmy concerned: Hey, wait! Kid!
As Nyando runs over to the broken building where commandos are shooting with their back cannons fully charged, he whips out his slingshot loaded with heavy bolts of metal from the scraps in the battle for a quick shot to one of the damaged support beams! It breaks and causes the rest of the building to collapse in on itself, completely smashing the drones inside! The young catboy keeps going, making sure to avoid enemy fire destroying the ground around him, soon reaching Jenny and Brad, who are still under heavy fire!
Nyando: Hey! Ya got anything reflective?!
Jenny: Yes. I'm using an energy shield. What for?
Nyando: I'm gonna need plenty of those. Like a disco ball for those lasers up there.
Brad: Oooh! I like the sound of that! (Aims at ground) Count me in! (Beams downward at maximum power)
Jenny getting on her communicator: Danny, do you and Danielle have any stamina for a shield barrier?
Danny: Just a bit. We're coming in right now!
Danny nods to his clone and the both of them make their way over to the trio.
Brad raising the new glass surface: One glass floor to go!
Danny: What're ya trying to do, kid?
Nyando: Just watch. (Points to towers) Raise the shields!
4 of the martyrs aim and fire their heavy turrets at the group raising the shield barriers, causing the lasers to get deflected back at them in unison! All 4 towers explode from top to bottom when the damages last!
Plankton raising his fist proudly: It worked!
Brad: Yep! And there was nothing of value lost!
Nyando: See? I knew it would work!
Nyando turns around and notices a multitude of nearby apartments warped from the deflected energy bolts.
Nyando in horror: …O_O
Cyrus patting Nyando's back: Ehehehe. Don't worry bout it, sport. They were broken when we got here.
Cyrus looks again and when he realizes one of the beams shot a melting hole through the statue of Kablammica Warrior, whose head is now completely gone in the form of a "U" shape stretching down to the upper half of the monument's torso.
Cyrus: Oooh…
Jimmy giving a thumbs up to Nyando: Great job, kid! Even I didn't think of that! Now to see how we can shut off these collective units.
Flora: But aren't the away team supposed to have done that by now?
Jimmy: I thought so. But I can't be certain if they've made it yet. Their heat signatures are still active, but I can't tell what they're doing…
In the Echo factory out in space, Cattus recovers from his fall with DeBizz and Familiar. He looks around the empty corridor he's in and sees that a blast door had been activated behind him from the hole in the wall. At that moment, he gets a call on his wrist communicator.
Cattus: Who is this?
Glori: Cattus! Phibby and I're fighting these new commando drones, and they're keeping us from getting to the control booth!
Cattus: They must know you're trying to shut them all down collectively! Do not hesitate, Glori! I'll be right there once I recover Familiar from-
Suddenly from behind, DeBizz runs up to Cattus' neck and knocks him down to the floor with a loud "SMACK" sound! The armored business man lifts his opponent up and skids him against the pipes on the walls underneath the security cameras, when suddenly, Familiar comes back from a different room for a dive kick! He clocks DeBizz' head back and brings him out of focus for Cattus to recover and throw his fist into his gut!
DeBizz getting blown back: Agh!
The villain breaks through the hatch door to the Martyr Hangar Bay just above Phibby and Glori, whore still holding their own against the androids! One of the bots shoots the support beam holding the catwalk down to try and knock the two down. Quickly, Phibby lifts Glori and tosses her up to the top platform with the shut down controls. Another commando begs to differ, though, grappling her leg with a hook from its wrist compartment to sli g her down to another level!
Phibby geadbutting a drone away: Uh oh! (Hops down to Glori)
Phibby lads with his shield in front of him, deflecting a beam from another robot shooting at Glori! Up above, DeBizz is still dealing with Familiar using his energy cannons!
DeBizz shooting the beams: (Gets kicked) Urgh..! How does it feel, Fam?! To be the hero that everyone's gonna lose?!
Familiar deflecting the beams: OK, I guess!
Familiar moves his arm in a way that deflects one of the beams downward into DeBizz' kneecap, causing a burn in the joint of the mech that makes the leg loose! He struggles to balance himself with the rhythm of his next step and falls down to the hangar's martyr testing track with the cannon fire activated! DeBizz is so close to the beam that the intense energy causes the tips of his suit to melt from the heat! Familiar follows him down, gently hovering with his boosters and keeps him just inches away from being incinerated, but DeBizz pushes him back with a pulse from his wrist and leaps up to try and stomp on him in the chest but misses when he rolls over to the side and ignites his wrist saber across his opponent's calf area where the suit's boot motors are stored! Suddenly, Familiar is kicked off the platform to the deck below and lands against his arm shield in slight pain, cringing when he turns himself over from his side to get back up. Before DeBizz could get another drop on him, Plunderbite taps his shoulder from behind and punches him so hard he flies across the other side of the factory!
Plunderbite: Remember me?!
Meanwhile, Glori encounters two more commando drones on her way to the shut down controls of the facility! She draws her weapon and holds it near the side of her face like a samurai. But both commandos lower their cannons and fire right at her! Luckily, the strong Phibby swoops from above on the other platform with other drones he was fighting and uses his shield to guard Glori long enough for her to make another leap from his shoulders to the back of the heavy units, slashing her sword at the right spot where their cannons are! Both robots lose their weapons and one of them turns to throw a punch to Glori's cheek, which hits her and throws her into the shut down controls. As she lay helplessly with her back on the panels, the drone who smacked her away prepares to strike her down with its saber. Glori on the other hand isn't ready to die and quickly rolls off the panel and breaking it when the drone slashing right through its systems! Parts of the station's main factory start to pause and turn themselves off from the destruction of the control booth and cause the platform Plunderbite is standing on to shake when the testing laser shuts down. He falls in the tube and DeBizz flies back to him with a punch to his opponent's cheek!
Plunderbite fumbling backwards to his knees: Ugh..!
DeBizz arming his saber: You're pretty durable for someone to shove in the background!
The evil businessman takes his morphed claws and swipes at the pirate, who guards himself with his flexed claws! Every chop, he blocks. Every punch, he hops an inch from. He headbutts DeBizz in the forehead and again cracks the jewel and visor on his helmet and make the sensors inside glitch for a moment. While confused, DeBizz is quickly blown away by Cattus' whirlwind magisword against the wall of the tube, but he immediately aims his cannons and shoots at him in front of him! Cattus swings his sword and deflects the beam into the end of the tube where the engine for the cannon is, accidentally starting an explosion that the three of them narrowly escape from! The blast was so massive, it causes the back of the factory where cables connecting to the engine are set on fire and collapse some of the conveyor belts and platforms to the airlock below! One of the falling structures falls onto the floor Familiar is still laying on as he quickly springs back up and uses his jets to reach the catwalk DeBizz got on during the blazes! Zange comes up running from behind him from the path to the bridge and elbows DeBizz' helmet's speaker and breaks it's tip again! Familiar slides underneath the man's legs and stands back up and chops his saber into his back jetpack that causes a leak from its fuel canisters on the sides! Some of it leaks onto Familiar's boosters on his legs while he's busy throwing several quick attacks at the enemy fighter, who's defending himself from both he and the princess! To even the odds, he manages to push Zange off the catwalk with a pulse shield, but she catches a lower pipe from underneath it! When Familiar finds himself at the upper hand for a moment landing several hits against DeBizz at various parts of the suit, his leg is caught in mid kick and the villain aims his pulse cannon at the floor drenched in rocket fuel and shoots to set it on fire! With both of Familiar's boosters activated for the kick mixed with the fire, the gas activates a small but horrific explosion on his leg planted to the floor as DeBizz let's him go and knocks him back with a lower punch to his gut! Stumbling back from the fires, Familiar holds his gut trying not to step on his injured left foot that's been singed from the mini explosion! He falls on his butt and shields himself from another heavy blow to his face until eventually his saber stops working and he's hit in the nose and jaw multiple times into a bloody pulp until Glori saves him by tossing her sword at the catwalk and slicing its lower support to knock it to its side! Familiar falls and lands in Cattus' arms while Zange hops back down to the lower platforms and lands on the same one with Glori and the other two commando drones and takes another stance with her. DeBizz prepares to fire down on them from above on the part of the catwalk that isn't destroyed, when out of nowhere, Phibby comes in with his shield and tosses it right into the villain's stomach! So impactful that it actually internally hurts DeBizz from inside the suit!
DeBizz in pain: Doagh..!
Before he could remove it, Phibby punches him several times in the upper and lower halves of his face where sparks begin to fly out from the damages! DeBizz is starting to run out of options, and so he unleashes a pulse wave that throws Phibby off down to an assembly station and attempts to fly off! His jets are acting up from the damages Familiar did to them, so he hastily calls for immediate assistance on evac.
DeBizz with his communicator: All units: Keep the squad busy! (Pulls out Knowledge Magisword) We're gettin' outta this joint with the Knowledge Magisword!
Cattus flying for him: Not so fast, criminal!
DeBizz is suddenly knocked by Cattus with a flying kick to the back of the head! Plunderbite follows, but the villain uses the Knowledge sword to try and stun them both, only for them to resist the waves and for he himself to get beamed with several bits of information from them, including Marty's time with the Savage Six and his wife. Marty throws a heavy punch to his face and slams him into the nearest escape hatch, causing the pod to rumble and tear itself from the station! While fallen and about to be apprehended, the station suddenly starts to rumble more and large explosions go off in the main hangar as a result of the ruined control panel! One of the blasts explodes the testing tracks below, large enough that from the Earth, Jenny, Goddard, and Bobert detect it.
Alt. Bobert: Neutron, my readings detect multiple explosions from above!
Jimmy: Really..?!
Goddard with his satellite out: BARK BARK!
Jenny: They're right…It…It worked! They did it!
Danny in joy: YEAHAHA!
Nyando cheering: WOHOOO!
Skullivan in relief: Finally…
Plankton: It's about time! I thought they'd never make our job a lot easier than it has to be!
Ashi: Honestly, even though there were a lot of Bots to take care of, it wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be.
Jack still with his sword out: Yes. But thank goodness it had not lasted long enough that it would.
Old Man: Looks like all we gotta now now is clean up this mess, youngins!
Combaticus in Gateaux' voice: Oh yes…Clean up…
Alt. Anais: Oh, don't worry, Combaticus. It could always be worse. Take it from me. I've turned many ruined places into an empire in no time at all. This is nothing compared to what I'm capable of, especially with the Toon Force around.
Cyrus: Oh good. Cause I don't wanna have to see more remnants of space junk on my planet again! We just got done cleanin' up all of Fusion's mess, and I ain't gonna do it again after this!
Frank: BOK BOK!
Jimmy still looking at Goddard's satellite readings: ...Wait a minute...Something's not right. Look!
Danny: Huh? (Looks at Goddard's screen)
From Goddard's screen, the Echo Space Station is still standing, but the lower hangar with the martyr towers is in ruin. Several more energy readings for the other reserved commandos inside are active and stationary for later use.
Danny: Oh no..!
Timmy on his communicator: What's the problem, guys? Did we win?!
Just as Timmy finishes his sentence, another commando unit flies overhead, startling the crowd Timmy, Chester, and AJ are protecting!
Timmy: WHAT?!
Brad: They're still attacking us?! I thought once the factory's gone, that's it!
Jimmy: Apparently, the drones don't run on collective programming! They're independent thinkers!
Nyando: What's that supposed to mean?
Jenny: It means even if we take out their base where they're made and controlled from, they'll still be buzzing around!
Noville: But what about the away team?!
Zim on his communicator: Hey, fool! I've found this Earth's little dynamic duo somewhere out where you are!
Jimmy: …The Warriors for Hire..? They're here?!
Noville: Already..? But I thought they were still up there!
Combaticus: …I don't like this…(In Danelda's voice) I'm going after them! (In Hoppus' voice) Show us the way!
Alt. Bobert: I have received the coordinates. Follow!
Bobert leads Combaticus, Jack, Ashi, and Jimmy over to the far end of the forest while Professor MaBarnacle watches them in anticipation, squinting and worried. She nods to Cyrus, Abi, and David for them to follow as well. In the station, however, the explosions have calmed down and an unmasked DeBizz is left alone in a blaze of fire surrounding him in the ruined hall to the escape pod bay. The hangar with the last martyr is barely left intact and burning and falling apart, piece by piece.
DeBizz brushing himself off: Phew..! Gotta admit, that was a nice try, boys n' girls. But to quote my main man, Phil,"Even when I lose, I win!" Now to get back to that ship…
Plunderbite coming up from underneath DeBizz: MEEAAAOOW!
Marty bites down on DeBizz' arm with his sharp fangs and actually causes him pain from in the suit, forcing him to shoot with the other arm's pulse wave and readjust the motors.
DeBizz holding his arm: Agh..!
Plunderbite: Yuck! Your suit tastes industrial! I hate processed meat!
DeBizz: Ya mean to tell me even after all that you're still standing?!
Glori coming from behind the fires: I was just about to ask you the same question!
Station Computer: COOLING SYSTEMS COMPROMISED! WARP CORE DAMAGED AT 94%! EXPLOSION IMMINENT! EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!
DeBizz: Don't think you've won, kiddos! This hunk of junk maybe goin' down, but those bots down there're still workin'! And even if they aren't, they'll go out with a bang!
Plunderbite: What're ya saying..?
DeBizz: I'm sayin' theres a timer on them. They break down, they blow up and take everyone with em! Same goes for the station.
Glori gasping: Oh no..! This place is too big for a small blast...If it explodes, the remains will crash into Lyvsheria!
DeBizz: Not just that ol' place. If this thing crashes, it could ruin the atmosphere itself! Like its a meteor about to start an apocalypse! So you'd better go ahead and grab an escape pod, if ya wanna live. No one's gettin' outta this one! Heheheh!
One of the areas of fire quickly blows away from Cattus with his Whirlwind Magisword in hand beside Zange and Phibby, who's holding a barely functioning Familiar from the damages in the fight.
Cattus: You're wrong, DeBizz! There's always another way! We'll find it once we defeat you here and now!
DeBizz putting his mask back on: Then it's war, huh? Well, let's see if we can crank it up a notch! Activate the Purge Mode!
Echo Suit Computer: Internal Locks Damaged. Cooling Systems Ruptured. Cannot Determine Success Rate.
DeBizz charging up: I'm sure it'll be fine. Gimme all the power I need for phase 2!
DeBizz' suit immediately lights up the hidden line decals into a dark blue hue; almost as though he's gaining power from the Knowledge Magisword as well! Glori attempts to strike him down while he's powering up, but DeBizz' exoshields reactivate and blow her back!
Echo Suit Computer: Countermeasures Updated!
Without a second to spare, DeBizz charges forward for Familiar, whom Phibby sat against the wall to recover. Phibby gets in front of his feline friend and takes the shot with his shield, which shatters into pieces upon contact!
Phibby startled: AH! MY BABY! (Gets smacked in the cheek away) Oof!
Zange runs for DeBizz' back and hops on it trying to remove his helmet when she notices a small motor just barely above the twin cannons and broken jetpack. DeBizz takes the princess by the hair and throws her to the side, but just then, Plunderbite sprints onto his chest on all fours trying to claw his way into the suit! DeBizz simply activates his now enhanced pulse wave, blowing the pirate back and electrocuting the rest! Back down on the surface, Combaticus and Bobert of the alternate future make it to the center of the crash site of Vambre and Prohyas' escape pod. The combiner takes both hands and prys open the hatch door, revealing a nearly dead Warrior duo!
Combaticus freaked out: …Oh no..!
Vambre barely awake: Uuugh….
Prohyas moaning in pain: Ngh...
Combaticus in Simone's Voice: What have they done to you..?!
Alt. Bobert detecting movement: ALERT! ENEMIES APPROACHING!
Combaticus quickly turning around: Huh..?!
All of a sudden in a horrific display, a stray narrow beam from a hidden commando unit slices right through Combaticus' left arm! As she stumbles back in pain, speechless, her severed limb morphs back into Bimm, now exposed and weakened from the link between her and the rest!
Combaticus in Morbidia's voice: Uugh..! (Looks at Bimm)
Bimm drained of energy: Ugh...Mgh…
Bobert scans for any nearby enemies and finds 5 of them coming from both sides, to which Jack, Ashi, and Jimmy respond with a surprise attack of their own! They corner the drones with their weapons and gadgets in hand! Jack ducks from a bot's beam and tosses his sword right into its head, almost instantly shutting it down! Ashi swerves back and forth from 4 jabs to her face before jumping swiftly in the air to the back of the robot, performing a backwards kick and using her chained mace to smash into its back motors! Jimmy has two more robots on his sights, using his shrink ray to reduce the bots in size! However, the batteries immediately run out of juice, but he doesn't mind. Simply, Jimmy steps on the two robots and turns over to the 5th one jetting after him, only for it to be redirected by Bobert when he flies and grabs hold of its back receptors! He rams it across the ground until it shuts off from too much damage to its core motor.
Jimmy checking over to Combaticus: You guys! Are you alright?!
Combaticus: How do ya THINK, GENIUS?! We're missing an arm here!
Suddenly, more robots smash through the trees, both large and small. They all have the heroes cornered and backed against each other, until in a surprise move, Cyrus snipes one of them with his crossbow from afar by a bush! The mysterious hooded woman hides behind the shadows of the forest, blending in with her robe as the sunlight grows ever dim. Using one of Old Man's nunchucks, she smacks it into 3 of the drones' power source, while Old Man himself uses his to grapple onto another 2 and slam them into each other! Frank Paul and Professor MaBarnacle both come from over the bushes and pierce and slice into a row of robots shooting at them! But just when a solid victory seems assured and all the able fighters are defending themselves, one of the commandos aims squarely at the fallen Bimm, Vambre, and Prohyas. MaBarnacle notices and jumps in the way with her sword in a shielding posture, blocking the lasers long enough for the one-armed Combaticus to recuperate and stomp on the enemy! She generates enough witch magic to gravitate the remaining robots into the air around her and clenches her one hand, causing all the machines to crumble and drop them! Exhausted, and partially damaged from the burning heat of the lasers, the feline professor gets on her knees next to Bimm with her face hidden from her.
MaBarnacle feeling Bimm's face: Bimm…
Bimm gathers all the energy she still has in her to tilt her eyes over to the old professor in response to her call. What she sees, however, is a very, very familiar side to her like a mirror. Part of MaBarnacle's face had been deformed into a dark purple while the other side is her usual orange. Almost as though she herself is Bimm's reflection.
MaBarnacle: Are ye alright..?
Bimm: I…I, am…(Falls unconscious)
Ashi: Is, uh, she gonna be ok?
Combaticus in Simone's voice: Meh. She'll be good. This ain't the first time she nearly fainted on-screen.
Cyrus helping MaBarnacle back up: Well, that sure was excitin'! Was it?
Ashi and Abi at the same time: You said it! (Looks at each other in confusion)
Tucker on his PDA: Hey, Jimmy!
Jimmy through his PDA: Go ahead, Tuck!
Tucker back at Jimmy's Lab: I just found something strange about those robots from Bobert's sensors. Much of the ones that haven't been completely smashed up all have a timer on them for some kind of detonator!
Jimmy: Really..?! (Looks at ruined commando)
Jimmy bends down to the broken mech and looks into its exposed circuitry, finding not only the motors used to make it run, but also a small beeping and flashing device!
Jimmy: Oh my God..! This is even worse than I thought! Even I didn't notice them!
Tucker: That's cause they're blocked off by a signal jammer from the space station. Since it's just been wrecked, I guess it took out those sensors too!
Jimmy: Sensors...Hold on a second, Tucker...I think I know what to do! (Speaks to self) Come on Jimmy...Think...Thiiiink…!
…In Jimmy's Mind...
Jimmy: Apparently, the drones don't run on collective programming! They're independent thinkers!
Nyando: No problem! Just followin' the footsteps of an old man!
Alt. Bobert: I have determined that someone had managed to replicate our schematics..
…
Jimmy: BRAIN BLAST! Bobert, these units have our schematics! Everyone of these androids are based on you and my inventions! If we could somehow send a message to them, we can disarm them in unison!
Tucker: But how? They don't run like A.I. They're all independent thinkers!
Alt. Bobert: Then, perhaps they need someone who they will listen to.
Jimmy: Precisely! Bobert, contact Jenny, Goddard, and Zim. I have an idea on how to send out that code!
Jimmy turns over to a nearby martyr tower that's been damaged and shut down but still standing upright. Meanwhile, Glori and Phibby are blown back against a scorched wall and DeBizz prepares to strike them down with his energy sabers, only to get knocked on his side by Plunderbite and Cattus! He throws 2 jabs with both hands at Marty, but the feline pirate avoids them and makes a drop kick, which he catches. DeBizz balls his fist and socks the pirate right where it counts: The jewels.
Plunderbite falling to his hips covering himself unable to speak: aaaaaah…..
Cattus makes a chop to DeBizz' face, which he catches by the end of the Magisword.
DeBizz holding Cattus' sword: That colorful batch ya teamed up with after that whole Fusion incident ain't gonna protect you, ya hear? All they'll do is cast ya out and forget about you like they will themselves! (Gains on Cattus) If anything, I'm savin' your butts the trouble!
Cattus: Oh, but I beg to differ!
Cattus swings his sword out of DeBizz' palm and falls on his hands for a twin kick to his opponent's chest, accidentally opening the wrist hatch of the suit where the Knowledge Magisword is! DeBIzz stumbles near the fires and another explosion goes off bringing him on his hands.
DeBizz: Woah! All that to bring me down a peg! (Runs back to Cattus) You're a tough one!
When DeBizz leaves out of the flames, Zange gets back from off the floor next to Glori and pays close attention to something from where he stood. Alone in the fight, Cattus uses his Whirlwind Magisword to the peak of his performance, now swinging it back and forth to throw highly concentrated airwaves at DeBizz! Though they do push him back a few steps and hurt him from in the suit, his enhanced shielding keeps him from falling again and magnetizes his feet. Using the magnets, he rips off a piece of the floor with his metal boot and flings it at Cattus, hitting him in the stomach! Quickly, DeBizz makes a dive punch into Cattus' face, knocking him onto the floor for a barrage of attacks! Every blow Cattus takes to his now bleeding face causes his mind to jolt back and forth from his friends to Bimm, to the injured Warriors for Hire, then back to Bimm. He can't help but think of her and Vambre and Prohyas in this situation. Finding motivation and a deep sense of horror at the thought of him losing and putting the world at risk, his eyes widen, teeth sharpen, and his palms glow, releasing a direct wave of pure light onto DeBizz with the force of a hurricane! Lifting his Magisword again, he channels its ability and the power hidden within himself to blow back the villain far enough that he can only keep himself balanced by planting his feet to the floor again. In shock and a slight sense of fear, DeBizz hesitates at Cattus, who's now looking, for the first time, enraged to the core. He raises his sword over to the far end of the burning hangar, using the force of air and gravity to unlock the turret cannon shells of the hinged Marty tower above, taking each one and tossing them at his opponent! Many explosions go off, and DeBizz' energy shield struggles to hold its own from the blasts until Phibby recovers and tosses the remaining piece of his fractured shield for a successful smash through the barrier! DeBizz catches the broken triangle this time and breaks it with his knee, but he fails to see Plunderbite and Glori come in for a punch to his face! He uses his energy waves one more time to knock the two fighters back now that his wrist weapons need to recharge.
Echo Suit Computer: WRIST WEAPONS RECHARGING AT 13%
Before any reaction could be given, DeBizz is once again pummeled by an angry Cattus, whose eyes are now starting to turn yellow and red! He uses his tail like a whip, punches like a hundred cannon balls crashing down at once to the point of shaking the ground and causing blue sparks to fly from out of the Commando Suit! That is until the armors countermeasures reset the pulse weapons and sends the angry One Blade back a few feet! Despite all the heavy damages, the armor is still operational and able thanks to the power boost. This doesn't bother Cattus, however. Rather, he then realizes his anger, at least for the moment, had nearly overtaken his core personality. But he calms down smiling knowing that he succeeded in his mission as a result.
Cattus with his eyes closed smiling: I'm sorry, Bimm... I almost lost control. But we've stopped him.
DeBizz brushing himself off: Heheheh...So ya think this changes anythin', huh Catty Boy? Even after all that, I'm still standing! No one can stop the kinda tech I've got built into this thing! Plus the extra material from my benefactor!
Cattus: You are absolutely right, DeBizz.
DeBizz: Heha! I know, I am! Heheh...I am?
Cattus grinning: Yes! I was not planning on taking you on alone. I was just buying our Princess enough time to find your weakness!
DeBizz: Huh..?!
DeBizz attempts to deploy the Knowledge Magisword again, but its missing from his arm compartment! He turns to the bloody and beaten Familiar laying on the floor and sees that the sword is with him, but no Zange!
DeBizz: Why you little..!
In an instant the moment he prepares to strike, DeBizz is struck by a large pipe that punctures right into the back of his suit where its core generator is, causing the mech to short circuit and fry its systems to the wearer's horror! Behind him, Princess Zange calms herself down from her throw and makes a confident smile.
DeBizz freaking out: No! You've broken the suit's circuitry!
Just when he turns back around for Cattus, Plunderbite gets back on his feet, takes his two fists, and continuously punches the man in the vital areas of the mech thats malfunctioning! Through DeBizz' eyes, his helmet's main screen has turned completely red for danger with a warning sign in the middle of it hastily trying to scan for error and fixes until Marty's next punch completely shatters the helmet to pieces, just barely hitting DeBizz' face! While he's stunned, Familiar nods to Cattus and the heroic One Blade lifts his equal up and from the bloody floor with the Whirlwind Magisword and does a spin toss, shooting Familiar at DeBizz to perform a heavy kick with his good leg to his stomach! The impact is so massive, it almost completely dismantles half of the suit from its malfunctioning and damage from the fight! Familiar falls onto his butt in slight pain from his prior wounds looking up to DeBizz, who's been injured from his kick! He stumbles a few times before finally ejecting himself from the mech's interior and landing on his hands to the floor while the mech falls backwards on fire from the internal breakage! By now, all the sleazy businessman can do is get on his knees with his head bowed in disappointment and fear.
Familiar slurring and stumbling: That'll teach ya to throw me around like a ragdoll...Urgh…(Falls flat on back)
Princess Zange comes over to Familiar with Plunderbite and Cattus by her side comforting him while he's still bleeding from his injuries. On DeBizz' end, however, the floor is starting to shake and bend.
Zange: You're one brave kitty. You know that?
Familiar: No, I didn't…
Cattus: DeBizz, your plan to forge an army of machines to do evil for your personal gain are over.
Glori: What he said.
DeBizz: Heheh...Then what're ya waitin' for, Mr. One Blade? Why don't ya just go ahead n' kill me, like the rest of em?
Familiar leaning himself forward sitting: Considering what you could've done to everyone, we should. But I think there's been enough of that already. We're taking you in.
DeBizz: Not this time, bud! You deal with my associate! I'm takin' the easy way out!
As soon as DeBizz finishes his final words, the floors come apart and drop him down to the explosions and hot atmosphere below deck, instantly turning him into a pile of ashes! Cattus attempted to use his wind powers to catch him, but there's too much falling debris! It's time for them to go home.
Zange shrugging: Meh. Should've seen that one coming. Let's get outta here before the rest of the house comes down.
Glori: Looks like it already is...
Plunderbite: This baby's big enough to smash right into Lyvsheria! If we leave, it'll just fall like a meteor and blow up everything!
Familiar: ...Well...The bridge is still up there, right?
Phibby: Yup! Just this place is gettin' the cool explosions.
Familiar: What about the engines?
Cattus: I assume they should be fully operational despite the damages done to the central hangar and the factory.
Familiar: Good. (Stands on good leg) I'm gonna take this thing somewhere else.
Zange: Wait a minute. Are you crazy? Even I wouldn't do something this risky! You'll be stuck in space with the ship!
Familiar: Yeah. But I'm not gonna let this thing fall and squash are living space. Besides, I've got a sister down there who's waiting for a certain someone other than me to get back down there.
Cattus blushing: I-I'm sorry..?
Plunderbite: Na-ah. This is a job for a sailorman! If anyone's gonna steer this baby away, its me!
Familiar: Yeah, but the station's operated by tech like Jimmy's. I've seen them before. Plus, I'm wearing some right now! So maybe I could figure it out somehow.
Plunderbite: Maybe you could do that and I could aim this place away from here.
Familiar thinking: ...Done! (Jumps in Plunderbite's arms) Let's get moving!
Cattus with his ears flopped down: But, Familiar...Marty…
Familiar: Listen, Cattus, when you see Bimm later on, tell her I said…"She's the best sister I ever had."
Cattus: …?
Plunderbite running with Familiar: See ya later, ol' sports!
Plunderbite carries Familiar to the nearest elevator shaft with him back to the bridge while the rest of the away team try and find a working escape pod. However, they see that all the pods have been ruptured from the explosions. Luckily, Phibby sees that the last martyr is still standing and has a passenger bay docked with the hall, which gives him a clever idea. Below, at the forest of Rhybloflaven, Jimmy, Jenny, Bobert, Goddard, and GIR stand atop a tower with their satellite dishes deployed and Tucker warped in from Retroville with his PDA hooked into Goddard's ear.
Tucker: Ok guys! Do your stuff!
Jimmy: Send out this message!
Jimmy sends a coded message via the android members of the Toon Force across the land to all Echo Units, both active and inactive to disarm their time bombs. For a second, it seems like neither of them had received it, until one by one, their detonators stop beeping and shut off completely!
Tucker: Did it work..?
Jenny jumping in joy: It worked!
Immediately, all the civilians Timmy's protecting back at the villages hear the message through his Neutron Communicator and start cheering with him loudly in great relief! Jack turns to the other Toon Force members and raises his sword up, signaling another cheer from them and Penny and Firefly shooting a fireball in the sky for fireworks with Grup and Prug! Nearby, Lady Hiss wraps herself around Skullivan like a hug, which he for once is happy to have and pets her gently on the head. Even Professor Cyrus and MaBarnacle are at peace, smiling brightly. MaBarnacle restores the damaged half of her face with the defused Witchy Simone's magic and Bimm lays against her getting her energy back.
Bimm in relief: Phew…
Nyando walking to Bimm: Hey there. You're one of those fusions, huh?
Bimm: Yes.
Nyando nodding: That's pretty cool. (Holds hand out) I'm, um...I'm Nyando.
Bimm shaking Nyando's hand: I'm Bimm. Catty-Rumpus.
Nyando: Catty Rumpus..? I thought you were this old lady's daughter.
MaBarnacle: What was that, young lad?
Nyando: Sorry. I just thought you two look related. Some folks actually think I'm your nephew.
Grup flying by: You three do look a bit similar though. Prohyas always thought every feline were related to one anoth- (Screams in horror) EEER!
Grup immediately zooms over to the two gournies holding Vambre and Prohyas Warrior and carrying them to Jimmy's cruiser.
Grup: Oh no! Vambre! Prohyas, are you ok?! Please speak to me!
Vambre: Mgh...Grup..?
Grup: Yes buddy! It's me! I'm just reeeeeally freaked out right now..!
Prohyas having no strength to open his eyes: Don't worry about it, Grup. We'll be just fine... (Places hand on Vambre's)
Zim: Get these humans to the pink-haired one at the base for immediate repair.
GIR saluting with red eyes: Yes sir! (Pushes gournies into cruiser)
Scaramouche speaking to Danny: So, I'm guessin' that's it, huh babe? No more mindless drones to be hackin' n' slashin', bashin' n' mashin'.
Danny: Yep. The damages are great, but we'll get it all fixed sooner or later. I think- (Hears boom from the sky and turns around) Gah!
The last martyr tower from the space station makes an immediate landing perfectly to the surface where there's no people around. Quickly, Wulf, Jimmy, Dani, Danny, Carl, Sheen, Jack, and Jimmy run over to the machine in anticipation.
Carl: Oh no! It's happening again!
Dani charging her ecto balls: Guess someone didn't get the memo!
Jack: ...Wait. Those cannons haven't aimed at us yet.
The side hatch of the lower deck of the tower at ground-level opens up and spit out Cattus, Glori, Phibby, and Zange with a loud boom from inside!
Phibby landing on his knees: Aghk! Geez, thing..! Way to be polite!
Zange looking at everyone in fear: (Gasps) ! Oh no! People! (Hides behind Phibby) Don't look at me like this!
Jimmy: You're back! We honestly thought you hadn't made it!
Glori: No. We did...We got beat pretty bad, but we're good.
Danny: Well, where's Familiar and the pirate guy? They're coming too, right..?
Cattus looking very upset: …I wish I had the answer...
Meanwhile at the bridge of the Echo Space Station, Plunderbite carries Familiar for them to make their way to the main control panel, gently sitting Familiar down to DeBizz' chair.
Familiar feeling his exposed chest: Ugh...Ok. Let's get this over with so we can visit some angels.
Plunderbite: Mhm.
Before Familiar could get his hands on the controls of the bridge, an incoming transmission appears on-screen from an unknown assailant, only playing slightly glitched audio.
Communicator: DeBizz? DeBizz, what is going on down there?
Plunderbite and Familiar looking at each other: Eh..?
Communicator: Where is my Echo Army? You're making this way harder than it has to be! I gave you specific instructions to manufacture all of them across both these miserable channels, and you can't even do that! Stop focusing on those Warriors for No One and get me my troops and that legendary sword! Or else I will personally come down there and deal with you myself… (Cuts off transmission)
Plunderbite: Woahohooo. Sounds like someone's havin' a bad day.
Familiar: You said it, Marty. Guess that slimy businessman wasn't always on top, was he? (Rubs palms together) Alright. Let's go.
Familiar types in a command on the keyboard of the control pad to get the station to move forward away from the Earth. Its engines barely work from the damages but succeed at moving it far enough that the upcoming explosion won't make contact with the planet.
Familiar: We should be getting away from the Earth in a few seconds from now. At the rate we're going at least…
Plunderbite: Well, guess it's been a fun ride. Has it, kid?
Familiar: Truth be told, I actually really enjoyed all this. And your stories.
Plunderbite: When I was your age, I always wanted to tell my son all about what it's like to be at sea. To be free and just be you. I never had that chance, but, I'm glad I was able to tell you at the very least.
Familiar: No problem, Marty. (Looks at control booth) Y'know, since we're about to die n' all, whaddya say we make the most of it and see what kinda stuff DeBizz has on these computers? Maybe he's got something Jimmy could use and we can send the files to him real quick.
Plunderbite: Oh yeah. Totally. (Looks at red eject button) What's this do? (Presses button)
Suddenly, the bridge rumbles and beneath its outer hull, a hatch unlocks its hinges and breaks itself from them, causing the bridge itself to detach from the space station! Inside, a hidden panel opens from the booth Familiar's operating in front of, revealing two steering sticks and a break system beneath it. Speechless, Familiar and Plunderbite look back at each other as though a miracle had just occurred, when instantly, the Echo Space Station tears itself apart from the inside and explodes into a large fiery wave that could be viewed from the Earth! The impact of the blast forces the bridge back to Earth while several large chunks of debris follow them.
Familiar: Alright. A miracle just happened! The controls are up and we can get back home! ...Heck is this? I dunno why there's so many buttons in here. It's only a one way trip!
Plunderbite: Hold on. I might know a little somethin'! Just keep your eyes on the joystick!
As the bridge makes contact with the atmosphere, the debris burns and crumbles but gets in front of the ship!
Plunderbite: Go left, then right! Downward!
Familiar follows Marty's commands and narrowly avoids the falling rubble!
Plunderbite: Do a Summersault! Tilt to the left!
Familiar, again, follows.
Plunderbite: Konami Code!
Familiar steers the ship up and down twice, then left to right the same number of times and performs a spin around a piece of the hangar in the shape of a tube!
Plunderbite: Do a barrel roll!
Familiar keeps the ship spinning until they get through the tube to the back of a large engine!
Familiar: Phew!
Plunderbite: Great kid! Great! You're becomin' a better pilot! Now, turn the ship to the lower right!
The ship tilts down to the right of the engine and just barely avoids its explosion from the intense heat, but it's no different for the duo, as they keep the ship going downward while burning and sweating!
Plunderbite squinting and holding onto Familiar's seat: Steady...Steady..!
3...2...1. The ship breaches the atmosphere successfully back to the surface in clear view of an empty field!
Familiar cheering and hugging Plunderbite: YEEEAAHAHAHAAAA!
Plunderbite: YA DID IT! (Pats Familiar's back) Way to go little lad!
Familiar: No, we did it. I wouldn't have done it (Turns back to front) without yo- AGH!
The shuttle makes a crash landing right into the ground far from where the Adventure Academy is, tumbling out of control and skidding across the grass while debris from above comes plummeting around them! Eventually, the small storm stops and Familiar busts the hatch door down with a single kick with his good leg, dragging the pirate out from the smoke inside it. They both rest on the boulder next to the ship and watch as it and the space station above catch fire and explode.
Plunderbite scratching his sweaty head: Ugh...That sure was a close one.
Familiar sweating: Yeah. It was…
Plunderbite: ...Familiar, I know I've done a lot of bad things in the past, and if I said anything a bit dickish to you and the team, I'm sorry. You're like the son I never had.
Familiar: Aw, don't be like that. You never said anything like that to me or someone like Cattus. Just V and P. And frankly, a few times, I think they started it.
Plunderbite: Yeah, but they don't deserve to be treated like that either. I've been a jerk since I had to leave my kids for some stupid Magisword that doesn't even exist. …I can't even find my wife and kids. But you, you've got a sister, plenty of pals, and all kinds of potential! All I can say is, if you ever have a family of your own, just promise me you won't make the same mistake I made.
Familiar: Whatever you say, dude. And, y'know, I've been meaning to ask. Your real name really is Marty? I thought it was just a nickname, cause you look like a Marty.
Plunderbite: Yep! It's real. Forgot my last name after I went and bumped my head in that attack with the enemy fleet years ago. But somehow, talkin' to ya helped jog some of my memory. Gotta admit, that was pretty neat.
Familiar: Heheh...It was...Hehehe!
Plunderbite laughing with Familiar: Hahahaha! Some trip, huh?! Now, how bout we get goin' back to that school back there? I'll give ya a piggyback ride for that bum leg of yours.
Familiar smiling: I'd like that.
Familiar holds onto Plunderbite's back and the two of them make their journey over to Rhybloflaven, now with complete satisfaction and relief. These two especially happy after bonding with each other. For the first time, Plunderbite (AKA Marty) had been able to tell someone of his tale despite losing his pirate crew. And Familiar, though injured beyond compare, is still alive and is perfectly ok with the way things had gone knowing that everyone he cares for are safe; resting as the sun settles down...
