*The next morning, I wake up from the design lab's floor with a yawn, only to find the place covered in ice and snow.*
Me: *shivers* How did it get so cold all of a sudden? *I slowly get up from the icy floor* Well, at least I have my geothermal suit.
*I slowly walk to the utility closet and open it to find a navy blue one-piece suit. I put it on and activate it, warming me up. Then, I hear a feint signal from my headset*
Me: *answers* Hello? Is anyone there?
Ron: *on his headset, signal slightly garbled* Archer? I-is that you?
Me: Ron? What's going on? Where are you?
Ron: In the training room. Someone busted through the doors and attacked us with a freeze blaster.
Me: What?!
Ron: You better hurry on over here and help us. I don't know how long I can ho- *signal is cut off*
Me: Ron? Ron! Stay put. I'll be right there.
*I sprint to the training room, avoiding ice puddles along the way. When I come in, I see Ron, Ulrich, Kaitlyn and Sofia battling a bald man wearing goggles and a subzero exo-suit and a young, white-haired woman wearing a blue uniform.*
Kaitlyn: Archer!
?: So you're the famed Ghost Archer? I never would have guessed we'd see you alive.
Me: Mr. Freeze and Killer Frost. This explains how the studio got so cold.
Ulrich: What are you doing to our friends?!
Killer Frost: Don't worry. They're not dead… yet.
Mr. Freeze: And soon, you will join them.
Me: I don't think so, Freeze! *summons Divewing* You readers enjoy this chapter while we give these two a meltdown.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 24: The Big Rematch
We pan into Scarlet's training arena in the Kingdom of Cinnibar as some of the warriors of Scarlet's army are training with each other.
Bayonetta is shooting targets with her pistols in both her hands and on her heels. Ahri is testing out her magic by juggling magic balls with her nine lithe tails. While on the other side of the group, Merida is testing out her archery on horseback riding with Link riding Epona alongside her.
Ryu Hayabusa is also sparring swords with Claire 'Lightning' Farron as she struggles against him.
"You truly are impressive, Savior of Cocoon." Ryu smiled at her from under his mask.
"As are you, Dragon Ninja." Lightning said as she broke and they scaled upwards while kicking off of each other's kicks. Then, Lightning gets a call on her cellphone. "Hang on, Ryu. I'm getting a call."
"Take your time." Ryu said as Lightning held the phone to her ear.
"Hello." Lightning said into the phone.
"Lightning. It's Scarlet. We need you at The Park effective immediately. Oh, and while you're at it, could you bring Kitana along with you? It's kind of an emergency." Scarlet asked
"Who is it this time?" Lightning asked. Then, a minute later, a shocked and angered look went onto Lightning's face. "Kitana! We're needed!"
"Who is it at the park now?" Kitana asked as Lighting whispered into her ear. "We gotta go!"
Then, Lightning's goddess mark above her left breast started to glow as a portal opened and she and Kitana ran into it. When they arrived at the park, they were looking around.
"I believe they are at Muscle Man's trailer." Lightning said as she drew her gunblade from her back sash and Kitana drew her giant fan blades as they ran off to assist Scarlet and her friends.
Meanwhile, Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost and all of the heroes have encountered the worst of Mordecai and Rigby's enemies, such as The Hammer, Klorgbane the Destroyer, the No-Rules Man, the Blonde Men, and Destroyer of Worlds.
"What the heck?! How are they even alive?" Mordecai asked as a brown-haired man with white skin and facial hair with sunglasses wearing a white shirt with a red business tie and brown jeans floated down from the sky.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party: Mordecai and Rigby." The man said as he gave the heroes a spine-chilling glare from behind his sunglasses. "And I see you brought some of your friends from the other worlds." Then, Benson and Pops arrive in a white golf cart. They see the enemies and have a look of shock and fear as they stepped out.
"Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr. What do you think you're doing here?" Skips demanded. GBF Jr. simply chuckles.
"Let's just say a little bird told me about the Elemental Medallions and asked me if I can help him get them. Well, I accepted the offer under the one condition that he brought these guys back." GBF Jr. explained to them with a sinister grin.
"Well, who told you?" Mason asked. Then, they hear a crazed laugh from out of nowhere.
"I did." A voice answered. This surprised the heroes. They look around for the source of the voice. Then, a corridor of Darkness opened right beside GBF Jr. and Demyx walks out with his signature sitar.
"Demyx?!" Sora asked in surprise as he readied his Kingdom Key.
"I knew someone like you would hire another world's enemies to do your dirty work." Ron added as he pulled out his Sai.
"Eh, it's what I'm good at." Demyx replied. "Now, if you don't mind, Axel and I are about to head back to the castle."
"Dream on, music boy! I'm not going anywhere, especially with you." Axel retorted as he spun his Chakrams.
"Very well, then. If you can't return to us, you're as good as dead!" Demyx yelled as he strummed his sitar, causing a flurry of water balls to fly right at Axel.
"I don't think so. Defend!" Mason shouted as he cast a Reflega spell around himself and Axel, sending the water balls all around the park.
"What on earth are you doing?!" Axel asked as the reflective barrier disappeared.
"Look, some of us don't trust you on our team, but I trust you." Mason answered with a confident look. "I know we don't see eye to eye, but ever since you told us about the Organization's plan when you turned against them, that was quite gutsy." Axel gives him a heartfelt smile upon hearing his explanation.
"What a touching moment. It makes me want to puke." GBF Jr. insulted.
"I am getting tired of this. Blonde Men, present rings." Demyx commanded as the Blonde Men aimed their rings at the heroes.
"Really? They're going to shoot us with jewelry?" Drake joked. This made everyone but the park workers laugh. That being said, Demyx was really mad now.
"FIRE!" Demyx shouted. Then, the Blonde Men shot red lasers from their rings. Noticing this, Ben and Jen activate their respectful Omnitrixes and they both turned into Chromastone and Battlefly, respectively. Chromastone blocks the laser shots and Battlefly rose into the air. This stopped the others from laughing as they saw what the rings could do.
"No way! I never knew rings can do that." James said in surprise.
"What do you expect? I once joined their ranks and found that out when Rigby and I ran for our lives after they found out I was an impostor." Mordecai added.
"Right you are, you murderer." GBF Jr. said. This made the other heroes look at him and Rigby in disbelief.
"Oh, I believe he was referring to the time we challenged his dad for his "universe record" on a video game and we won. He was so disappointed at this loss, he exploded." Rigby explained. This made the young royals and the Sugar Rush racers, save for Vanellope and Ron, shiver in disgust.
"Silence! I'm running behind schedule, so let's get this over with." GBF Jr. interrupted while he checked his wristwatch.
"Oh, you've got no idea, pal." Drake added as he unsheathed his twin Katana swords. GBF Jr. smirks evilly as he raised his right hand, preparing the signal to attack. All of the other heroes pull out their signature weapons, ready to defend themselves.
"CHARGE!" GBF Jr. shouted as both sides charged at each other starting a battle for the ages.
Sofia, Amber, Felix, Ralph, Yumi, Aelita, Chromastone, Danny and Rigby are fighting off numerous zombies as well as the Hammer. Amber bashed two zombies with her Dream Shield as Chromastone blasted four more into Danny and Aelita's range. Both of them blasted an energy beam and obliterated them. Ralph and the Hammer were fist fighting until Rigby bashed him from behind with a lounge chair. The Hammer shouts in pain.
Crumbelina, Sora, and Calhoun were trying to bring down the Destroyer of Worlds. Crumbelina and Calhoun used their rifles to draw its attention away from any of the other groups while Sora stared striking it with his Keyblade. The attacks are dealing little damage.
Drake, Ariana, James and Skips, equipped with the Fists of Justice, are fighting Klorgbane the Destroyer and the No-Rules Man. Ariana used her swords to parry Klorgbane's attacks while Skips dealt damage to him. No-Rules Man started to skate to him in an attempt to sabotage the Fists of Justice, but Drake intercepted him and started to attack him.
Benson, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost and the Sugar Rush Racers are facing off with the Blonde Men. The Blonde Men's lasers began to pin them into a corner. Rancis spun his Bo-staff fast enough to deflect the lasers as Gloyd fired his shotguns at their rings, disabling them.
"Nice shot, bro." Muscle Man complimented. Rancis responded with a thankful grin as the other racers began to fight the Blonde Men.
Mason, Scarlet, Battlefly, Axel, Ron, Odd, Ulrich, Dani and Mordecai are battling Demyx. Odd shot three laser arrows at him, but a water clone of Demyx took the hit. Three more clones charge at Odd, but Scarlet and Ulrich slash the clones down. Demyx tries to run to GBF Jr's side, but Axel stops him.
"Going somewhere?" Axel asked threateningly. Mason, Scarlet, Battlefly, Axel, Ron, Odd, Ulrich, Dani and Mordecai surround him. Demyx gulps in fear.
"Kill it with fire!" Axel shouted as he spun his Chakrams. Everyone gives him a look in dismay. "That's… how you beat him. You… beat a water guy… with fire."
Scarlet face-palmed and shook her head. Then, her eyes sparked crackled to life as she grinned and ignited her hands in balls of flame. The others see this and come up with an idea. They give each other a nod as Jen hit her Omnitrix symbol and turned into Heatblast. Ron, Ulrich, Dani and Mordecai charge at Demyx. Demyx attempts to block their attacks with his sitar, but Ulrich knocks it out of his hands.
"Now!" Ulrich shouted as he gave the signal. Odd shot five laser arrows as Axel threw his Chakrams at Demyx. Scarlet and Heatblast threw six fireballs at the projectiles as Mason cast a Firaga with them, setting the projectiles on fire. Demyx screamed in pain as the projectiles hit him dead on. After the attack, Demyx fell to the floor covered in burn marks. Seeing this, GBF Jr. became really ticked off.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I was beginning to enjoy this fight." GBF Jr. said, slowly shaking his head. "But now, I'm beginning to doubt accepting Demyx's offer. I'll personally deal with you myself."
"And how are you going to do that?" Odd asked.
"You've hardly got any powers." Mason added, pointing his Keyblade at him.
"Perhaps not in my current form, but I bet this will change your mind." GBF Jr. replied as he began to focus his energy. Then, unexpectedly, his clothes fell to the ground to reveal that he's a floating head. Upon seeing this, the heroes groan in disgust. Swizzle pukes behind an oak tree.
"Ugh! And I thought Odd's room was nasty." Ulrich remarked. Odd gave him a disbelieved glare.
"Surprised? Well, you better be because this will be the last thing you'll see!" GBF Jr. shouted as he began to charge lasers from his eyes. He was about to fire until…
"Not while we're around!" a voice called out. Then, a steel fan blade struck GBF Jr. across the face. GBF Jr. shouts in pain.
"What the hell did that come from?" GBF Jr. asked. The fan blade whirls back to its owner to reveal it was Lightning and Princess Kitana who intervened.
"Lightning, Kitana, you made it." Scarlet said as she approached her soldiers. The two look a GBF Jr. and a soot-covered Demyx struggling to get up.
"And not a moment too soon." Lightning added.
"Let me guess, Organization XIII?" Kitana asked. Scarlet gives an honest nod as Demyx got to his feet.
"You win this round, but know this: soon, the entire multiverse will plunge in an endless darkness." Demyx warned as he opened a Corridor of Darkness behind him. But before he left, he turned to Axel. "Axel, one day, you'll rue the day you double-crossed the Organization. Ferguson, we must retreat to Castle Oblivion for now." He then vanished into the corridor.
"Very well. Creatures of the underworld, we must retreat." GBF Jr. commanded as the many villains retreated through the corridor. "Just to be clear, I'll be back for you." He said for a final time before disappearing through the corridor, which closes afterwards. Once they left, all of the heroes cheer in victory.
"Woo! That was downright awesome!" Muscle Man exclaimed.
"You know it!" Rancis added and high fives him.
"Don't celebrate just yet." Mason intervened. They look at him with interest. "Now that we have extra firepower, we need to find the next Medallion."
"And it's sooner than you think. After I "interrogated" Axel, the radar has located the next Medallion." Scarlet confirmed.
"Sounds good enough. Where is it?" Vanellope asked.
"It is in a place called Gotham City." Scarlet answered.
"Gotham City?!" Rancis and Ron surprisingly asked in unison. Then, they notice each other say the same thing. "Jinx! Argh!"
"Gotham City, huh? Then that's where we'll go." Sora said. He looks at Axel and the Park workers and gives them a trusting smile. They return to the Gummi Ship and leave through the Keyhole, on their way to Gotham City.
*Ulrich, Ron and I kick Mr. Freeze in the stomach and knock him to the ground. Kaitlyn and Sofia hit Killer Frost with their weapons. She hits the wall.*
Killer Frost: I never knew they could be this powerful.
Mr. Freeze: Neither have I. We'll be back for you someday. *They fly away through the open window. All of the ice disappears after they left.*
Ulrich: Serves them right for coming here and freezing our friends.
Me: I hear you. Speaking of, we should find them.
Kaitlyn: They must be in the Observation Deck.
Ron: Then let's go.
*We run to the studio's Observation Deck to find all of our friends hiding under the bleachers*
Clio: Are they… gone?
Sofia: Nothing to worry. They won't be coming back for a long time.
Crumbelina: Oh, thank Mod.
Kyle: Who would have thought that those two would be working together?
Me: Who knows? I bet someone arranged this.
Lindsey: Perhaps whoever had done so did.
Me: I think so. I should investigate this. You readers review. All of the characters featured at the beginning of this chapter belong to their respectful owners. Peace out!
