However, he hopes he can show them how much strength he has letting them know he is not weak. He wants to gather their trust, but for now, he will help Travis recover his friends. If he were in the gold warrior's shoes, he would attempt to save his friends.

Travis' group continues onward breaking through the horde of shadow monsters. As an hour passes, Travis' group finally reaches a dungeon. He looks around searching for any signs of his allies and notices a giant room with three people chained to the wall. He narrows his eyes and soon realizes it is his three commanders, Lynton, Wilfred, and Kent. Lynton has short wavy dark blonde hair, black eyes, and a somewhat well-built body, but like the other two, seems to be malnourished. Wilfred has short straight blonde hair and blue eyes. Kent has a black Mohawk, black eyes, and is the biggest of the three.

"M-My lord," said Lynton. "B-Be careful."

Teresa charges forward breaking through the prison bars as Kent opens his eyes.

"Teresa stop!" shouted Kent.

Just as Teresa charges into the room, a giant foot blocks her path. It is at this moment that Travis realizes this is not a prison room, but a much larger room meant to hold giant objects. He looks at and notices big yellow eyes as the room becomes brighter.

"Crap," said Travis as a giant cyborg appears in front of them.

The giant cyborg is different from the humanoid machines. This time, the cyborg actually looks like a robot, though it still has human shape. The cyborg has its arms, legs, and torso, but there is no muscle design, it is more like a robot. The machine's head is also an oval shape with a visor eyes. In addition, the machine is almost forty meters tall. How could something so big get inside this castle? Pluton must have teleported the machine here, but to fit such a machine inside the castle.

The cyborg turns its attention to the ground in front of it as it raises its hands. Travis and his allies take a few steps back as they prepare to fight against this machine. The cyborg's abdomen opens up revealing six holes. Soon, missiles appear from the holes as the machine shoots them towards the group.

"Run!" shouted Chloe as she hides behind Orion.

"Lady Chloe, this is not running," said Orion.

"Protect me!" shouted Chloe.

Orion groans as he raises his hands to prepare to fight, but Chloe grabs his left ear causing the elder man to stop.

"Follow me," said Chloe.

As Orion follows Chloe, Travis and his generals continue their battle against the giant cyborg. Travis raises his swords unleashing a powerful wave of energy hitting the cyborg, but to his surprise, the machine manages to hold its balance. Teresa unleashes a wave of water hitting the cyborg, but to her surprise, the cyborg breaks through as it gathers energy in its hand.

"That's a large amount of power," said Merilyn.

"It must be an improved reactor," said Sophie.

The cyborg unleashes a powerful energy attack forcing the group to disperse. Travis unleashes his own attack causing a large explosion on the cyborg's right arm. Latisha charges forward striking Merilyn charges forward striking numerous areas of the cyborg. She raises her left hand causing the cyborg to stiffen. As the black-haired woman tries to use her powers to slow the machine down, Teresa and Sophie charge at the robot. Teresa unleashes a wave of water hitting the entire lower half of the machine as Sophie swings her hammer as the water turns into ice. However, the cyborg manages to break through the ice as its shoulders open revealing more missiles, four on each side. The cyborg shoots the eight missiles from the two shoulders forcing the group to dodge the attack.

Travis stands up facing the cyborg as he prepares to gather energy to strike again, but two energy attacks hit the cyborg causing the machine to take a few steps back. The gold warrior turns his attention elsewhere searching for the source of the attacks and soon notices Ichigo and Inuyasha arriving on the scene. Ichigo charges at the cyborg striking the machine's leg, but the cyborg retains its balance as Inuyasha raises his Tessaiga.

"Wind Scar!" shouted Inuyasha as he slams his sword onto the ground.

"Getsuga Tensho!" shouted Ichigo as he turns around swinging his sword.

The two attacks hit the cyborg, but do not bring the machine down. The cyborg raises its arms above its head as a large amount of energy begins to gather around it. A few seconds later, the cyborg slams its fist into the ground creating a powerful wave of energy sending Ichigo and Inuyasha soaring backwards. Suddenly, Horace, Momoka, Anna, and Tecumseh appear as they begin unleashing different attacks upon the machine. Horace strikes the machine with his sword unleashing a strong energy wave. Momoka slams her katana into the ground as a stream of ice hits the machine's leg. Anna unleashes powerful gusts of wind as Tecumseh creates numerous space portals around the cyborg. Anna's attacks enter Tecumseh's portals as the attacks begin to strike the machine from different angles. The space portals make the wind attack unpredictable, but soon the machine breaks through the space portals, but a powerful arrow strikes the machine followed by numerous chunks of metal.

Edgardo and Akiko charge forward, unleashing more chunks of spiritual and metal attacks, but the machine counters with a wave of missiles forcing the two warriors to fallback. Luckily, Lavender arrives creating a wall of wood temporarily stopping the missiles as Minoru charges forward slamming his fists into the machine's leg with a large amount of fire erupting from the impact. The cyborg slams its hands together releasing a wave of energy sending everyone back. Before the machine has a chance to strike again, another wave of attacks hit the cyborg causing it to stop.

Mira, Yuuki, Garrett, and Eveline arrive striking the cyborg with numerous weapons, lightning, fire, and water, respectively. Meanwhile, Tonis, Helena, Leopold, and Rolando appear, striking the machine with energy attacks from the couple, lava, and earth, respectively. Just as the machine is about to counter, another wave of attacks hit it causing it to stumble. Conan, Sean, Eliot, and Wu strike it with fire, ice, lightning, and earth, respectively. In addition, Huan, Austin, Bernard, and Sarah appear hitting the machine with swords, punches, fire, and lightning. The machine tries to struggle as it sends numerous missiles around forcing the Elite Guards to dodge the attack.

Meanwhile, Ichigo and Inuyasha return to battle, striking the machine again. A few seconds later, Goku appears, kicking the machine's head as Naruto and Luffy strike the abdomen. Natsu appears as he unleashes a stream of fire into the machine's visor causing it to have a hard time seeing. The machine switches to motion sensors, but it too late as Travis and his generals charge forward. Teresa unleashes a wave of ice striking the machine as Sophie freezes the water causing the machine to have a hard time moving. Latisha strikes with numerous moon elements causing multiple explosions as Jocelin raises her shield, unleashing a ray of sunlight. Merilyn appears below the machine as she slams her hand onto the ground creating large spikes of earth hitting the machines legs. Travis jumps up as he kicks the cyborg's chest sending it falling backwards.

Suddenly, a wave of fire, wind, and earth hits the machine's back causing numerous explosions. Travis turns his attention to the source of the attacks and notices Lynton, Wilfred, and Kent standing up, away from the wall. Flames dance around Lynton, wind around Wilfred, and earth around Kent. Travis also notices Chloe and Orion next to the wall with the chains in their hands. Travis smiles knowing his friends are now safe. Travis looks around noticing everyone preparing to attack again. He might as well join them.

In a bright flash of power, everyone, excluding Chloe, attack the machine hitting it with powerful attacks. In a split second, the machine begins to malfunction before exploding into numerous pieces, falling to the ground. The group remains motionless, for the next few seconds, until Teresa shouts in happiness as the petite woman runs into the giant man, Kent.

"Finally, after all this time!" shouted Teresa. "I miss you, my love!"

"As do I," replied Kent.

Jocelin runs towards Lynton giving him a strong hug. Lynton smiles as he gives the hug back.

"It's good to see you again, Jocelin," said Lynton.

"I-I thought I lost you," said Jocelin with tears in her eyes.

"I told you the day we got married," started Lynton. "It will take a lot to take me from you."

Wilfred turns towards Latisha as he walks up to her.

"Don't I get a hug?" asked Wilfred.

"No," replied Latisha.

Wilfred sighs before smiling. He approaches Latisha and hugs her. The young woman does not do anything, but if anyone looks closely, he or she can see a small smile on her lips. Meanwhile, everyone watches the interactions, for a few seconds, before turning towards Chloe, who walks into the middle of the group.

"All right Travis," said Chloe. "Should we go to your base?"

"Wait, what?" questioned Travis.

"We are in this together," said Chloe. "Where you go, I go. Plus, we still need to look for your remaining officers."

"We might be able to help with that," said Lynton with a tired expression.

"Good, now let's go!" shouted Chloe as she walks forward before clenching her back.

"Ow, I think I pulled a muscle!" exclaimed Chloe in pain.

An hour later, the group reaches the large spaceship the Galactic Knights arrived. As Chloe arrives at the ship, a sudden flashback runs through her mind.

Flashback

A large ship with golden rims and giant sails shines brightly in the sun. Thousands of people surround the ship as it prepares to disembark. Chloe looks around noticing the people cheering, laughing, and having fun. This is a celebration. Chloe looks back to the ship as she prepares to walk onto the large boat.

Flashback Ends

Chloe snaps out of her flashback as she notices the group walking in silence. She knows her Elite Guards are not happy, but she also notices the lack of communication among Travis' knights. This is not good and it is happening all over again. No, not this time, she will make sure this team stays intact. This team will succeed, where everyone before them has failed.

'I'll get those men in team shape, one way or another,' thought Chloe.
