Well hello there, boys and girls. This is Big Red speaking with the latest chapter of Sonic & Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed. Last time we know that Shadow's group will assist the Deadly Six in saving the Lost Hex from a Legion attack that occurred to try baiting them alone. Meanwhile, the heroes are getting ready to arrive in the party until some internal conflict involving Schezo happens. Just a little warning, let's just say there will be a humorous scene that occurs which may shock some of you. It may be the first and last time I do this since female readers better be lucky I allowed said gag. But nonetheless, let's begin.
Schezo stomps his way down the hall near the exit, feeling too much rage over everyone's inability to listen to his suspicions about the ex Legion members and Marines at all. His once heroic heart is now full of nothing but scorn and aggression, wanting to vent it through sword training. He's personally glad that not a single person is following him, thus making his escape too easy. Damn Blue Rogues, all of them are foolish.
Once Satan rise and stabs everyone in the back, they better not cry to me. I'll prove it to them that making alliances with people we barely know aren't how we do things when the world is already in ruins. Sorry Arle, but I can't see you as an ally or mines anymore if you don't open your eyes to your real enemies. Leaving Puyo Land was the biggest mistake since making someone whole. That last part isn't me talking about you know what.
He could see the garage in a few more feet as he approach what could be his way out. The silver haired swordsman would be happy that he can move on from everything and go back to the old days of honing his magic skills in the forest like old times. Suddenly, a massive flash of flight appears before him, shining brighter than the eye could see.
"What, who dares come before me? Because there's plenty of room where that came from," he said in confusion.
It would be none other than Columns who appears directly before him in a flash. Schezo is confused as to why the goddess wanted to confront him of all people before he made his leave. At the same time, he didn't want to hesitate against her just because she was a woman.
"Why are you in my way? Because this sword is going to pierce into the heavens instead of being held back by a bunch of fools. Move out my way!" he called.
"I'm afraid that I can't do. Vyse sent me here to stop you from going anywhere. He would like to have a word with you since he saw everything that happened in the men's dressing room and wasn't pleased with your behavior," she announced.
Schezo dropped his serious expression into a dumbfounded one upon hearing that last part.
"And here I thought I was the pervert," he said in annoyance.
Columns wouldn't understand what he meant by that part at all due to her lack of foresight on usual mens room behavior. The swordsman had the feeling she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed for a goddess if she does not understand his statement.
"Wow, for a second I thought you would be a real obstacle to me. But of course it seems you are nothing more than a fluffy chest," he said during a shrug.
Columns would only be more confused at his statement, wondering what about her is fluffy on her body. The she would draw close attention to her large chest and covered it in embarrassment.
"It's not my fault that I have been getting heavier over the years. Because most of the fat is happened to be stored here compared to other parts of my body. You're the worst!" she cried.
Schezo would only fall on the ground comically from her lack of understanding in his words. The swordsman got back to his feet and would only advance towards her in determination to leave the ship.
"I don't care what that pirate want and he should just look for booty instead of going after my hide. Get out my way or you will be assaulted!" he shouts.
Columns would only react by raising her hand to create a shield of colored gems to create a wall. The swordsman clashed his blade against the wall of gems that blocked his way of getting out, angering him. He would keep attacking the wall with many strong sword strikes in an attempt to wither the defenses down.
"This is not a game. I'll penetrate through your walls if it's the last thing I do!" he shouts.
Columns would try her best not to lose her composure due to misinterpreting his unintentionally lewd words. Only responding by putting more of her power in these gems to withstand his sword strikes.
"I have no time for you to be in my way, you wall of a woman. Just let yourself surrender to my masculinity!" he shouts.
The goddess once again tries her best to ignore his lewd sayings as her concentration is vital to keep him from going anywhere. Next he would gather massive amounts of energy in his own blade with dark flames building on the blade. It was at this point that he would no longer be holding back if it meant getting off the ship.
"Darkness, gather in my blade. Punish those who are nothing more than blight. Shadow Edge!" he chants.
He swung the blade to shoot a powerful series of dark magic shockwaves at the gem shields, now doing severe damage to them from the force. Columns is knocked back slightly from the force, but still continues to hold her ground regardless of his impressive skills. Schezo would us this time to disappear in a puff of dark flames, to appear out of her sight. The goddess would now be wondering where did he go, looking ahead of her and at the ceiling. Schezo managed to reappear outside of the ship without any trouble. He is relieved that there would be no one else in his way of getting out of here. The swordsman sighs then focus his attention on finding a way off the island.
Alright, it seems that no one is around. Good, I need to find me a way off the island. Maybe taming one of those monsters would help when I have no time to try making a boat. That means I would have to head into the jungle and find a monster that can fly.
He begins charging his way to the East and try to get as far away from the Delphinus as possible. He had no intention of ever looking back since he already made his decision on where to go. Soon, Columns appeared right before him once more to block his path. Schezo would notice too late and crashed against the hard gem wall that blocks his way. The silver haired swordsman would be this close to falling backwards, but leveled himself back straight as he's not giving up without a fight. Columns is already not in a mood to play anymore when she made a promise that she can't fail for the captain's sake.
"Just give up. I want you to come quietly with me so the captain can speak with you. Running away if foolish when you would have no means of leaving this island without a ship. What will you do on your own? What if the Legion ambushes you alone? This is all too foolhardy and you know it. Give it up Schezo," the goddess beamed.
"Stay out of my way! I know how to do things myself. I don't need to be with a group that trust partnering with everyone regardless of how suspicious they are. A crew like that is set up for failure. Go tell your captain that he's worth less than a Garbage Puyo," Schezo replied harshly.
Columns would only hold in her anger at the respect of being calm if it meant focusing with her power between them.
"That will not do. You are coming with me, whether you like it or not. We are a team and always will be. Leaving isn't the right move, not when the Legion has the upper hand on the world as it is. You are an asset and mean too much to us to leave. And what about Arle, how would she feel if you were to suddenly leave? You two were always close allies and she would be heart broken if you just simply leave like that. Make the right decision," the goddess begged.
Schezo would only respond by charging at the gem shield with a darkness covered blade for his next attack.
"Sting Shade!" he shouts before the next clash that occurs.
He's now starting to overpower the gem shield itself, causing Columns to break a sweat trying to hold it back from pushing against her. With both hands held out, she tries to sustain the gems after his powerful attack. Then Schezo would raise his hand to cast another one of his spells, one that he only uses unless he wants to waste little time with anyone.
"Brain Dumbed!" he shouts.
The burst of blue magic would make its way to Columns head and clouds her body with a droning sound. The more the sound blares, the less focused Columns would get. The goddess would now start to lower her gem shields and wobbles around violently. With Brain Dumbed, the caster can induce stupidity on someone to weaken their attacks for a short amount of time. The composed goddess would now be dizzy with the dopiest expression and drool dripping from her mouth as proof the spell finally taken effect.
"Uuuuuh, what am I doing out here? Are there any birdies for me to feed with my sandals," the goddess babbled.
Schezo would only smirk now that he's free to make a run for it with another Teleport spell. He eventually disappears from her sight once more in black flames to get further away from the ship. The goddess remains wobbling around in confusion before Alis, Kasumi, Noah, Ulala, Pudding, Ayane, and Joe Musashi appeared to check on the situation. Joe could tell by her strange behavior that she is incapacitated and Schezo managed to get away from her easily. Alis used her Chat ability to try talking inside of her ally's mind, only to see that getting a response is very unlikely to the weak and jumbled state it's in.
"She's going to take a skill to recover from this. Now it's up to us to try getting him back at all costs. Hopefully in time for Tails and the others to fully build the stations we need," she said. "What kind of stations?" Noah asked.
"It's women stuff. Not that you already aren't pretty yourself," Ulala replied.
The long haired mage had no way to tell of he was given an insult or a compliment by her.
"Never mind that. We have to stop that runaway pervert mage before he think of leaving this island without us. Vyse gave us one job and we can't fail it," Ayane said in determination.
"Precisely, someone can stay here and watch our scrambled ally. The rest of us will pursue him because he succeeds in leaving," Joe said.
Columns would begin leaning all over Pudding with a wide smile, and hugged her even further.
"Can you please get off of me? You'll drool all over my dress!" she cried.
"Then it's settled, you stay and watch her. Leave the rest to us," Ulala said.
Pudding tried to object only for the confused goddess to put her hand all over her mouth.
"I hate this night," the space rock star muffled.
Everyone else would teleport once more to look in any parts of the jungle that Schezo may be hiding. Then a mysterious red haired being would appear from the nearby buses. He watched everything that occurred and grew curious at what would be going on this time of night. Schezo finally warps in a good part of the forest with several monsters sleeping peacefully. A lot of these happened to be winged ones that he was specifically looking for to leave the island. He slowly walked to it and raised his hand in front of the best. He's using a specific mind control spell that allows him to turn any animal into his faithful companion. An ability that would be quite useful to him in his past adventures. He wanted to make his mission to capture a Dragon complete if his plan to leave the island would be a successful one. Rustles would be heard from many feet away. Shoot, they found me that soon. I will have to motivate this guy to wake up faster. Schezo amplifies his spell even further to speed up his planned escape. The beast's eyes slowly begin to open up thanks to the spell and saw the one responsible for waking it up. The eyes were red with a sense of ferocity as they stared back at the silver haired man. Schezo still looks at the monster to see if his spell is working. The beast made a low grow, akin to a friendly one to let him know that he is free to take off. Schezo smiled now that everything is working out and immediately jumped on the creature's back. The Dragon finally spreads its wings in honor of its new monster to prepare for take off. Joe eventually bursts into the s end with his eyes on the silver haired mage that prepares to leave.
"Halt! You're coming back to the ship with us! Vyse has a word or two about your behavior," the ninja said.
"Damn it! Fly away, take me off this island and away from everyone," Schezo shouts while patting the creature's neck.
The dragon then obediently flies into the treetops to narrowly escape the ninja's lunge. Joe would only be surprised that he failed to stop the runaway hero in time. Kasumi and Ayane appeared just in time with their weapons ready to throw. Joe instead called the two girls to stop doing anything reckless.
"No. If you want to get him, you will have to try something that won't harm the dragon. These creature are sacred to the island. We would lose the respect of the locals if we were to accidentally harm one of them no matter the reasons," he said in caution.
Ayane would throw her kunai on the ground in frustration knowing that she can't go all out. Kasumi on the other hand had a great idea.
"I think I know what to do. Leave it to me," she said.
The kunoichi eventually disappears in a whirlwind of sakura petals before her allies would ask what this plan is. Schezo could only taste the sweet smell of freedom as the Dragon quickly rises above the entire forest and higher into the sky. He could see a good view of the Delphinus in the west and the Maboo Village in the south. He would notice that the preparations were already close to complete with villagers working on the tables for guests and stage for possible performances. Jimba is already standing on his mobile throne while the three advisors would be the ones guarding the area for any intruders. The three ship keepers would already have their concession stands set to sell any refreshments for the party. The four reptilian Trial Masters would be standing at the main arc to greet any guests. Delphinus Junior would also be seen resting on a nearby stone to await his allies in a peaceful sleep. Schezo is impressed with the way everything would look, but knew that there would be no turning back after choosing to leave the team for somewhere else. Suddenly, Kasumi appears right before him in surprise, scaring the silver haired man half to death from her appearance.
"Found you! Now you won't be able to get away from me!" the determined kunoichi shouts.
She eventually reach her arms around Schezo and hugs him tightly to her chest. He would be swallowed by the deep cleavage of his attacker, feeling warm in a mixture of embarrassment and surprise.
"What are you doing? Get off of me!" the swordsman muffled with the mounds of flesh in his face.
He would have nowhere to go as long as the seductive female ninja entraps him in something that he couldn't tell would be heaven on hell. The monster would be startled by her appearance, beginning to flap around frantically in fear and worry for what happened to his master. Kasumi falls over on top of Schezo as a result to bury him deeper in her bosoms accidentally. Schezo would only emit a muffled scream of confusion now that he's beginning to lose air from her chest while also failing his chance at escaping. He would then wrap his arms and legs around Kasumi in fear to hold on tight. The legs would clutch directly below her butt and pressed against his pelvis. Kasumi would begin to regret this plan than me yo the compromising situation that only becomes even lewder at her expense. The entrapped Schezo imagines a tall stack of Puyo happening in his head, which only means his current state due to the position he's in.
"Alright, you can let go now. We are hundreds of feet in the air and can fall. Just come quietly with me and none of us will fall to a bad injury," Kasumi.
"You are the one trying to suffocate me with your ninja talents. Now unhandled me or my blade will explore your body!" he screamed again with a muffled speech.
The spooked dragon would buck around like a bronco to try tossing the intruder off his body while ignoring the state his master is in. The stack in Schezo's head would only grow bigger and bigger as the swordsman squirmed in embarrassment. Kasumi tried her best not to scream since she began to feel tighter than before down below thanks to her captive squeezing his lower body against her.
"Can you please stop? Both of us are going to fall if this keeps up. Your flying friend is already trying to throw us off completely. Try doing something!" Kasumi yells.
Schezo's mind would be too blank and focused on the swelling Puyo stack in his head to hear her words. He's already a mix of frightened due to the possible drop below, dizzy because of his growing lack of air from suffocation, and stimulated because of his compromising construction with the kunoichi attacker.
This is it. The day I die while bosoms are crushing my face and my lower body is close to losing all sensation. All I wanted was to leave this group and it seems they will not let me go. This is it, I will either die from overstimulation or drop a fall onto the wrong hard surface below. Good bye cruel world!
Kasumi would try her best to hold in her breathe as not to scream to alert everyone below or respond to the growing tightness that happens to her lower body thanks to Schezo. The dragon would then begins bucking harder to try throwing both of them off at this point. Kasumi's body presses harder and harder against Schezo as a result of their bodies slamming on the hard scaly creature's back. It would be a miracle that neither of them would be falling already. But that wouldn't stop the awkwardness of their tightly wrapped bodies being under a lot of pressure. Schezo's eyes would be swirling and his face is already at maximum redness to respond anymore. And Kasumi is now in a state that she is unable to remove herself from him. It wouldn't be long into that same red haired being that was initially following the heroes would finally spring himself into the air at high speed, having his violet eyes set on the dragon above him. Kasumi would eventually take notice of their pursuing enemy and really didn't want to scream. Instead, she would try to pry herself from Schezo's cowardly grasp. The swordsman would still be lost in thought as the Puyo stack in his head continues to swell and pulsate like a thermometer.
"I have no idea what's going on, but a true hero never abandons their friends. I'll teach your flying buddy a lesson," Astal shouts.
The hardheaded gem being would have his diamond bracelet covered fist reach to connect with the dragon above him. Kasumi couldn't hold it in anymore and sighs loudly from holding her breath.
"Wait, stop! You shouldn't hit this dragon! Try something less reckless!" she called.
Astal then realized that it would be too late as he already pulled his punch six feet before he would finally meet his target. The dragon's belly would be punched "softly", as in not Astal'a usual strength but still strong enough to hurt. Punch would connect Schezo and Kasumi's bodies in a sudden press. Kasumi yelps in pain from the sensation that happened between her body. Schezo finally lets out the loudest scream that rumbles her cleavage. And the dragon roars in pain with large tears dropping from its eyes. The red haired hero would only twitch his eye in surprise at how much hurt he's causing than help to his allies.
"So..rry," he quietly said.
Then all four of them would begin falling back to the island below them at high speed from their collision. The dragon would fall the fastest due to being too hurt to fly anymore combined with its weight. Astal would raise his arms to try slowing down his falling speed. Kasumi is finally free from Schezo's clutches, but mostly due to him being out cold from the bump that happened below his backside. The kunoichi looked down to see how close they are to falling back to the ground by forty feet. Nothing but grassland below and nothing soft too land on to signify the dangerous situation they are all in. A wide eyed but unconscious Schezo would float around as if he were a falling mannequin, having tears rolling down his eyes due to the pain. Kasumi then looked at him to see if he were alright, but notice something that would cause her to freeze in fear. The minutes of being constructed to him combined with the bump Astal caused would only create something quite unexpected below his pants. Just watching it stand before her eyes would only cause the kunoichi to scream once more. But this scream would be loud enough for everyone in the forest to hear. Ayane and Ulala were the first to catch wind of this sound. Being her concerned half sister, the former had the feeling that something bad happened.
"I can hear her. That mage must be doing something too her or stronger than we expected. It came from this way!" Ayane called.
She jumped ahead of Ulala to pursue the sound of it meant saving her rival. The reporter knew that this must be something serious and use her sos e teleported to warp from the scene. Alis and Noah also heard the scream from the northwest part of the forest they were searching. The Palma heroine had a bad feeling about what she heard.
"If he hurt her in any way, then there's no way we will forgive him. Even if he were to escape. No matter, we need to save our ally fast," she said.
"Right. I'll have to see if any magic will be needed if she's falling too high from the air. Falling below would be lethal if we don't make it in time," the long haired mage said.
Both of them eventually disappeared using their Teleport spells. Joe managed to catch up with the two before they could disappear, then keep going down the quickest path with his high jumps to find the source of the scream. Back in the same spot, the stupefied Columns still leans over Pudding, acting like a child wanting to ride her back. Pudding however didn't want this and continues pushing her off.
"But mama, I wanna ride your back! That's no fair, my wegs are too weak and widdle to walk on," she whines.
"For the last time, I'm not your momma! And the main star reporter of Channel 42 doesn't deserve to be humiliated like this. Just get off of me, you crazy wench!" the green haired reporter shouts.
Pudding is already at her limit and personally hate how Ulala given her the responsibility to watch someone that lost control of most of their own brain cells thanks to Schezo. The fact she drooled all over her dress like a child didn't help much as she didn't want her party dress ruined in any way. Vyse would finally approach the two as he is still awaiting Schezo's arrival. He's pretty weirded out by Columns' new behavior after further inspection of what she's doing to Pudding. Instead, he clears his throat loudly to get the attention of both of them. Pudding finally looked and felt happy that someone came to her rescue.
"Vyse. Please save me from this big baby. I'm not sure what Schezo did to her, but he messed with her mind and now she's begging me for piggyback rides while drooling all over me. Please," she cried dramatically as Columns chewed on her dress again.
Vyse would only sigh and walked even closer to her in silence. He raised his cutlass and tapped her lightly on the head with the blunt end of the handle. This would knock Columns out cold, causing the woman to fall on her back and off of Pudding. The reporter's dress would be in ruins, nothing but drool all over it and her hair is slightly messed up. Age could do nothing but cry at how bad she looks instead of being mature about it. Columns remained unconscious with a comically large bump on her head from the blow she taken.
"What will I do with all of you? We are supposed to have fun and this is the result. At least my old man isn't here to see this," the captain solemnly said.
Suddenly, the dragon crashed onto the ground right behind everyone. Pudding jumped in fear with tears flying everywhere due to her heart jumping out her chest figuratively. Vyse would have both of his cutlasses ready in case this is the work of an enemy. And Columns unconsciously flies into the air without responding to the sudden stimuli occurs around her body. The captain would see the unconscious dragon behind him and wondered how did it even get here.
"What's going on?" he asked.
Then Astal lands directly on his head right next to Columns, getting it stuck halfway in the ground in the process. "Pudding screams once again in surprise at the sudden fall of this mysterious ally.
"A boy fell out of the sky! We are experiencing some strange weather here!" she called.
"More like someone tried to fly but failed. Anyways, I'll help him out," he said.
Vyse walked his way toward the stuck Astal and dropped his weapons to have his hands ready. He grabs around the sides of his body and begins pulling up to help heave him out. It would be tougher than expected since he's surprisingly heavy for a humanoid.
"Thanks. The Marines sent me down her to see how everyone would be doing. I didn't expect to see one of your own trying to maroon you all on this dragon. Too bad me punching it was a bad idea when all of his fell after that," the gem being said.
"All?" Vyse wondered.
Kasumi lands directly on Pudding from her fall, flattening her against the ground from the force. The kunoichi is barely out cold, being sprawled atop Pudding and almost suffocating her with her upper body.
"Can you please get off me, ninja hussy? It's bad enough that goddess drooled on my fine dress like she's some nut. I hate all of you!" the reporter cried.
Vyse would still be focused on helping Astal be pulled from the ground. The progress is getting better as more of his face his face is revealed from the hole, nose and eyes included. Astal would open his eyes to get a good view of the captain's legs in front of him.
"Great work, if you can just keep on pulling then I can finally be free. I can't really wear anything at the party because this is my default appearance. Everyone else is close to ready. Are your men close to prepared?" he asked.
"They are close to done. It's more the ladies who are behind since I will admit that we never expected this many women to want the quality hair treatment. But this is the price to pay for gathering a crew this large to save this world," Vyse said nervously.
"We are having Tails and a few others make more in there using those scrapped robots. We already got matters in our own hands. Thank you very much much," Kasumi said in sarcasm.
"Then that's great., It won't be long until we all go to this party. But after I have a word or two with Schezo. Now where did that rebellious mage creeper go?" the captain wondered.
He eventually looked up and gotten knocked out cold by something that fell on him. Nothing but black would be seen from the eyes of Vyse as his world is now hard to recognize with the pain in his head. Suddenly, someone would begin embracing him softly. He could not make out who or what would be touching him, but it had a gentle feel to it. He is not really the romantic type as he would tell that this has to be anyone other than an enemy or ally. His first mind came to Aika, someone he knew had feelings for him. Another came to mind which would be Fina, although she had been distant to him lately to avoid competing with her personally.
Who are you? Are you one of my vice captains? If so, please help me up, this is not a time to be taking advantage of me like this is a time to act lovely dovely. I care for you, but this is not the time or place for it.
He would feel another hand place on his right hand, now he would get the feeling this really is Aika all along doing this to him. He did not know what to say or how to react as his sight isn't working to see who this person is. Then he would feel his mouth being invaded by a kiss from this mysterious person. Vyse is too lovestruck to fight back against this person, and eventually gives in to the kiss by giving his own take. The two would be lost in their tender moment of romance while his sight wouldn't work properly. He almost completely forgotten the real reason he is out of the ship and enjoys this kiss from "Aika" while they were alone. Voices would eventually start calling to him.
"Vyse! You promised to get me out of this hole and this is not a time to be making out! Snap out of it, Casanova!" Astal's voice called.
"Earth to Vyse, you need to realize who you are kissing and let go of him. You are supposed to talk him down and not reward the creep with something he wants!" Kasumi's voice beamed.
"Are you braindead or just stupid? Open your eyes and realize what the hell you are doing. If the others see you like this, you will be a laughing stock!" Pudding shouts.
"Good grief, I don't know what happened. First I was fighting that pervert and now he is taking advantage of the captain with his body. How crude!" Columns' voice rants.
"Captain, wake up. Take a look at what you're doing," Joe's voice ordered.
"How disturbing. I never would had expected that swordsman to stoop so low!" Ayane's voice shouts in disgust.
"Vyse! Don't forget that you really wanted to speak to Schezo about!" Alis's voice echoes.
"Should I use one of my spells to awaken him?" Noah's voice asked.
"No. Both of them would be hurt and can you imagine how badly it would affect their mouths?" Ulala's voice warned.
Vyse could hear these voices traveling within both his mind and ears, wondering what they would want while he's enjoying this moment. He eventually did open his eyes a few times with a blurry vision. His sight would barely make out the silver haired face that's kissing him. He could notice that the face is also in a semi sleep state and just acting out on instinct. The captain would finally widen his eyes when his vision begins to clear. Revealing that Schezo is subconscious kissing him due to the impact from his head clouding his senses. He would notice his arms embracing his body and the rather "solitary" sight between the legs of his kissing intruder. The captain's face would eventually grow red from this highly embarrassing moment as he wish he could scream. Then Schezo would finally open his eyes to see that he just happen to be kissing his own captain, on the mouth and that his first kiss is given away to the wrong person. He could only do nothing but sweat a lot from his compromising position that he didn't mean to do. To make matters worse, the two notices that a good deal of their allies were watching everything and appropriately disturbed from the sight. Both of them screamed loudly enough to alert almost everyone that's throughout the entire island.
Many of the flying monsters would begin taking off out of the forest and scrambling in the air in fear from the loud noise that startled them. Jimba and the other Maboo setting up the party would hear the screams as well, stopping in their tracks. One soldier dropped a hammer on his face and it bounced off to hurt him. The shopkeepers would be wondering if someone is messing with the monsters again as they had their food ready in the stands. The Trial Guards all stopped licking their eyes with their long tongues and grew alert from the screams they heard. Chinto, Folu, and Lagu all got their staffs ready for whatever seems to be the problem.
"Did anyone hear that? Something must be happening on this island again," Lagu said.
"It will really be unfortunate if after all the heroes had done, we have more problems to deal with," Chinto said in worry.
"Guys, it could be the heroes practicing their singing. We do have a stage for anyone to perform on of their choosing," Folu suggests.
The Maboo Chief strikes his chin as the faces on his headdress think along with him.
"Perhaps you may speak true. This could be them practicing their vocals to sing with us. This island is Eviling free so we should have nothing to worry about," Jimba said in his carefree tone.
Then the who tribe resumes back to working as if nothing ever happened. Back near the Delphinus, the two would still be breathing heavily in shock from losing their breathes in the scream. The witnesses would still be in shock over the entire kiss that they witnessed while Astal still awaits being pulled out of the hole.
"Hellooooooo, can someone please free me? The other Marines will not be happy if I can't be back in a few minutes," he asked.
"Allow me, it's the least I can do on behalf of the New Blue Rogues," Joe replied.
He would walk his way to begin using his arms for pulling the gem hero's body. Vyse would be the one to kick Schezo off of him immediately with his might, knocking the swordsman on his back. Schezo would be too paralyzed in shock to realize the hole he dug himself into at all. Joe succeeds in helping pull Astal out of the hole to try distracting himself from that shocking sight. Half of the ladies were already covering their eyes from the sensation in Schezo's pants that they really shouldn't see. Schezo still lies on his back, trying to process just what possessed him to think that he was kissing Arle other than the concussion he received from falling on Vyse at high speeds from the air. Vyse still pants with widened eyes still trying not to remember exactly what he did. Pudding still refuses to look Columns in the eye due to her dress being ruined by her drool during her stupefied state earlier.
"What the hell just happened back there? Did you two lose yourselves from hitting your heads too hard?" Ulala asked in the same shocked expression.
Vyse slowly gets back to his feet and dusts his clothes to get back into his professional state.
"Yes, I did not see it coming. My mind was going in places where it shouldn't. But let's not speak of it again. We have bigger fish to fry, like asking why Schezo wants to quit our crew," Vyse replied with a red face.
"Oh I already know. I have been gathering intel on everything thanks to our drones watching everything. The best way to know about our allies is by studying them up close," Astal said.
Ulala would feel surprised that the whole time they were being watched by some one else somehow undetected.
"But how? Our ship's security system should had detected your drones easily as intruders. And do you think it is creepy looking at a bunch of women while they dress? Even I would have my limits not spying on male Legion members in their bathrooms," she replied.
"Yet you stumbled upon Satan while he was bathing in a teleporting accident. IF we can call it that," Pudding remarked. Ulala would only wish her rival isn't this right with her words as she blushed.
"Relax, we have two different teams handling everything. The male Marines watch the male Blue Rogues while the female Marines watch the female Blue Rogues. You really think our commander Sam would approve of any of us being that intrusive?" Astal defensively replied.
Vyse would think about his talk of drones and wondered the same thing Ulala mentioned.
"That is a good question. How did your drones get inside when we locked our doors and do they have good cloaking to avoid being detected at all? It is impressive but at the same time it does feel overkill for an organization to do this much spying on their own allies," he said.
Astal really did not want to share too much top secret information, though he is a hero of honesty and felt they are deserving to know.
"The drones are made of the best technology on Earth. They can cloak so well that you will need special infrared technology to sense them. And when you all were walking in the ship, Sam is the one to deploy the drones quickly to have them enter the ship. Please do not think less of us, but we do not feel a party alone will be enough to get to know you all well and extra precautions had to be made. With your goal to head to Valua, we also have little time to meet each other on either ship for a casual conversation. We know how precious time is. These drones only make the process faster for both of us,"the red haired hero explained.
"Aha! This is exactly why I hated this alliance. You all are very honest about your shady behavior and needing to spy instead of talking to our faces!" a voice yelled.
Astal and Vyse would look to see Schezo back on his feet and less than amused by what he heard. At the same time, the two would be less than amused by the disturbing sight of his "puyo stack" still rising from his skintight black pants. The ladies would turn away instead of facing him since the sight is too much for them to handle.
"Gross, can you not be perverted for once? If I were not such a nice girl, I would take a kunai and slice it off personally!" Ayane threatens.
Schezo would instantly wince and cover his manhood as the thought of it deeply scares him.
"That Marine scum did this to me. Fisting that dragon and to some extent my behind only stuck me in this tower of pleasure longer than usual. Another reason why they are as trusty as someone who can stab in the wrong places," he shouts.
"With such vulgar wording, you really aren't the most innocent hero that I've ever met," Astal said in unamusement.
"You'd get used to it. I always have to fix my own ears to get what he's saying," Vyse apologetically replied.
"I do understand his point. This spying thing is very suspicious. I can understand you all worked as government officials and soldiers for the world, but not even the GUN would stoop this low with us," Columns said.
"What we do and the GUN do shouldn't be compared. They only do things lightly with you all because their higher ups are people that trusted you all longer than us. Our higher ups can't have that as we always have to learn about our allies as much as possible. One thing we can say are that any former Legion members need extra special attention. We can't forgive their involvement in that organization take over of this planet as much as you all. One question we have is how to you keep them on a lease at all times," Astal said.
Vyse had the feeling that they would ask this question at all, feeling like he's caught in a small corner. Schezo on one hand do agree with their mindset regarding the "reformed allies", but at the same time still do not trust them for resorting to something fruitless as spying just to "know their allies".
"We do keep a special eye on them at all times and punish them when we see fit. Shiva for example would be locked in our jail room for one time almost hurting someone that we saved who was a bit too stubborn on eating our food. We did throw that person's sisters in jail as well for their attack on our ship with the intent on saving her and taking her back to the Legion as part of their mission. Satan and Dedede already proven their worth by helping us with our plan to save Sonic with all they knew about the Legion. Had they failed to cooperate, our original plan would had been a ransom to get the remaining Chaos Emeralds from Eggman," Vyse explains.
"And as you are aware, you did save someone named Isaac. Someone who intends to overthrow the Oasis kingdom and almost killed all of you during your Sonic saving mission. What led you all to save him after his defeat. Pity? Ir you thought there would be some use out of him for the war?" Astal asked.
"We know. At the same time, it seems he was more of a victim. He lost control of himself because of letting the dark power of that Silver Armlet control him. The Legion were too cocky and knew they were in as much danger as use when the Non-Entity trapped us within his realm. He is a lost soul, someone who needs better guidance than being used as a tool for world domination with the promise of Ali losing his own kingdom his royal blood is entitled too. BD Joe made the right decision, we have little reason to criticize it. He save anyone that deserves it. Which is an admirable move for anyone on my crew," Vyse replied.
Astal nods from hearing his words, feeling they were quite honest and void of any suspicions.
"Not bad. You really seem to know exactly what you're doing. Because normally with the Marines, we let no villains on our ship run rampant ever and keep them fully locked at all costs due to what the world thinks of the danger they pose to the innocents. We have one in our possession, Sonic will be fully familiar with him. Are any of you familiar with the name Nack the Weasel, or by his title Fang the Sniper?" he asked.
Joe would be surprised that they managed to find and imprison Nack after his defeat during the mothership battle weeks ago. Schezo would only shake his head since the Marines are clearly just flexing their superiority over the New Blue Rogues at this point. Ulala remembered that name too well because of how tough the fight with his upgraded Marvelous Queen was in the past.
"Yes, we know him. The one the Deadly Six used to serve well only under the guise of being tools for Eggman indirectly without needing a Cacophonic Conch. Ever since his defeat, they had nowhere to go and even turned on the Legion for their sheer cowardice and inability to save them during the Non-Entity's rampage. Another reminder that they are still heartless enough to not care for their own like they think they are. Have anything went well with holding Nack in your cell?" Vyse asked.
"He is feeling rather comfy. Only rambling how he failed his mission many times and longing for the rings he was promised by Eggman. We tried to get some information out of him. He's rather stubborn and only said how he would want to hit Tails just once for humiliating him. Not to worry, he eats. We aren't that cruel even to the worst villains. On the subject of the Deadly Six, how sure are you that these colorful clowns will not stab any of you in the back?" Astal asks.
"They are currently with Shadow. Gun has their eyes on them. With the few times they helped us like with RinRin's rampage and the fight against the Non-Entity, they are trust worthy enough in my eyes. What the Gun think of them is another story. Which we will not know until we contact Shadow or Rouge again. We know they are near Sunset Heights, a place where the site of Sonic's defeat in Infinite's hands happened. They should be alright and I doubt the Deadly Six will ever trust the Legion again after what happened. Any other questions you have, gem genie?" Vyse explains.
Astal lowers his head to think if anything else needed to be said. Schezo would use this time to try sneaking away only for Columns to surround him in gems completely to make sure he can't escape. He knowingly tries to use his Teleport spell once more, until Alis casts Bindwa to wrap him in magic binds to keep him constricted. He could feel that her magic prowess surpasses that of his own and knew there is little to be done against it.
"You are not getting away that easily on my watch. The captain is not close to finished speaking with you yet!" she called.
"Great job, Alis. Now we can't see his trouser snake anymore. Those binds are a lifesaver," Ayane cheered.
Schezo would only feel nothing but pain from the tightness of the magic binds in that area for obvious reasons, only cringing in response with tears rolling down his face.
"No. There is nothing more to ask. The rest of the Marines can hear you loud and clear, you have good intentions. After all, we as an alliance need to be on the same page of things if we will succeed stopping the Legion here while they already have other worlds conquered. Like my realm. Stopping them in the heart of their operations should free the universe from their grasp and hopefully prevent them from summoning a powerful deity like YHVH to erase and make their own perfect universe. They are a threat that can only get worse the more we ignore them. We all need to get stronger if it means putting them down for good. Gathering strong allies are important. Hopefully your friends in Hell manage to recruit this powerful human before they die and the Smash Brothers can get more involved in joining forces with us," Astal replied.
"I have faith in them. Bayonetta, Jack Frost, Jeanne, and that bunny Ash shouldn't lose to whatever demonic forces reside in the deep inferno in any way. Perhaps it was for the best that the zombie couple and Chuck didn't risk their undead lives on such a dangerous mission. As for Mario and Sonic, they have enough influence to hopefully bring back some strong allies. Yoshi, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, and Wario are fully expected as he often talk about their times in four Olympic games together. I know so little about the Smash Brothers that I would never see else isa coming to assist us. If the Legion think they will win this war, then they thought wrong when even we are gathering some forces to help bring them down as they grow larger," Vyse says with a shimmer of confidence.
"Great, we will all look forward to working together with you. But it seems that you should settle the score with your silver haired maroon that thinks leaving just because of an alliance is worth it. I will head back to the ship to give you two that privacy you need. See you at the party," Astal says with a grin.
The red haired hero would then leap high into the air and never to be seen again thanks to his impressive leg strength. Vyse would focus his attention on the entrapped swordsman that is surround and bound real tight.
Schezo would notice that the captain's eyes are on him as he's looking less friendlier than before. He could only expect the worst to happen when escape is not even an option for him anymore.
"Let me ask you this, do you think it's worth leaving our crew just because of an alliance that you can't put faith in? They do raise good points on having better intel than we do and combining our forces would guarantee a good victory over saving our universe. This blind skepticism of yours need to stop. What would Arle think of you were to go back to your days of being a selfish villain that only wants to be one stronger by stealing magic from others? She would be greatly disappointed as she always seen you as a great ally to travel with. Pervert accusations aside. Or they weren't just accusations when you were enjoying that kiss with me too much for comfort. But that's enough about it. Said incident is better off buried," the captain angrily explains.
"For the last time, my mind went blank! I thought it was Arle and that punch your trustworthy Marine friend did already knocked by body harder than wood. Anyways, I am tired of working with my own enemy or more enemies that we should know better than to trust. You went from keeping your enemies locked to letting them be free just because of a simple intruder? You are one of the worst captain's that I've ever known!" Schezo barked.
"Worst? I would remind you that one time I held a prince of the Valuan army prisoner and he would be proven to be one of our most trustworthy allies because he saw how blind his kingdom was with their rule over countless sky countries. It was because of him that I learned that instead of being a simple pirate that fights against authority that instead I would use piracy for good things like fighting against anything that threatens our own world. This is why you along with many other heroes were recruited after my old crew disbanded to start new lives after we stopped the Silver Gigas from ruining this planet. We all suffered having our homes taken over by these Legion monsters and knew that we can't go through this alone. So I beg of you, rethink everything you ever thought. Especially calling me a bad captain like I'm on the same level of that despicable man named Galcian!" Vyse shouts.
Schezo would be too angry to listen to him as if he would know just how badly his land is ruined by Satan's own antics with the Legion.
"Just shut up! You act like you know exactly what it's like. There's actual slave labor camps that were built by Satan and Lilith with countless Doppelganger Arles that my friends suffered through. He would do nothing but endlessly build walls of Puyo for their own personal entertainment. I have good reasons to hate Satan no matter how you want me to forgive that green haired demonic bastard. You think he's harmless? What about all the people there from Rulue to Lagnus who were forced into this labor. Reminder that Rulue had feelings for him and did everything she could to earn his respect only to be enslaved just because she refuse to side with the Legion or agreed with their harsh labor. Running away was with Arle was a hard decision to do when others were too weak to fight off these stronger Doppelgänger Arles him and that evil witch had control over. Now you understand? Now you see? Try defending that at all!" Schezo shouts.
Vyse could tell he is in a lot of pain from revealing the truth to him, countless tears pouring down his eyes from revisiting these painful memories. Joe and the others would be shocked that Satan kept this secret from them all along instead of being honest. Ulala would be hot the hardest with this revelation. Just the thought of it would crush everything she ever thought about him. Her heart would only sink further into the abyss of her own sadness, regretting everything she ever loved about his caring nature during their first meeting. Even Vyse would feel very betrayed knowing that he barely told this much about himself after trusting him aboard the crew.
"This, this is just very unforgivable. And we asked him countless times to tell us everything he did or know. All he did was say that he helped creating the Shadow Beasts and not this. I'm just beyond grossed out by this. He's on the same level as Galcian, there's no mistaking it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. But that still doesn't excuse your lack of trust in our alliance. Unless I see proof that the Marines are bad as you say they are, we will not break up this alliance. However, Satan will be locked up until further notice for this," Vyse said.
Schezo would only feel conflicted on this as his tears still continued to pour from his eyes. The next thing Vyse would do is pull up his wrist communicator, then entering the right coordinates to send a message to the right people. As the device rings, Ayane and Alis would only comfort the sobbing Ulala that is still heartbroken over the revelation that Satan agreed to do such a horrible thing. The pink haired reporter only held her head tightly as she cried loudly thinking that everything she felt was for someone she had no business defending. "I...was a fool. To even think...that Satan...was a nice guy. Just...throw him in a cell for all I care...He's better off rotting for all...I care. Damn him...so much for being this evil!" she cried under her breath. Alis would only continue sitting her shoulder to comfort a close ally. Ayane would only do her part as the nice one.
"Please know that it wasn't your fault. Not even all the things he did to help save Sonic the Hedgehog can redeem these horrible acts he done to the citizen of his own country. It's disgusting that he would even do these things. At least Schezo had long redeemed himself for the better from his former dark past of wanting to rule Hell over him. Things will be alright," the purple haired kunoichi said.
Vyse would finally be in contact with Axel Stone, who appeared on his screen. The blonde cop would wonder what his next task would be.
"Oh Captain Vyse, it's a surprise to hear from you again. How was the mission to stop Schezo?" he asked.
"It went well. He's in custody and will be taken back to the ship. But he also managed to tell me something shocking about our friend Satan. He created slave labor camps in Puyo Land with another powerful foe Lilith as a way to rule Puyo Land with an iron fist before joining us. After knowing this and how the green haired shyster said nothing about it at all, we have no choice but to lock him up. Bring Arle with you since she may help in sealing his magic. That way he would have no way of escaping. Understood?" the Blue Rogues captain asked.
"Yes. We will handle that right away. Thanks for letting me know. And we have an hour until the party begins. This shouldn't be too much trouble when all the guys are ready. I heard the ladies will need more time to get their hair done. Not suprirrisng, but we can hope they can wrap things up for the party," Axel replied.
"Yeah, Ulala and Kasumi explained everything. Tails and a few others are making more stations to speed things up. We can't keep the Maboo Tribe waiting and at the same time we need to depart by morning for Valua soon. But enough of my rambling, take the dark prince to his well deserved cell immediately," Vyse said.
Axel Stone nods and began walking his way to the green haired demon prince behind him.
"Will do. Later," he said before shutting off his device.
The cop finally approached Satan while he continues to powder his face. The green haired villain would finally notice him and wondered what he would want.
"Can I help you? I am in the middle of beautifying myself for my precious Ulala dear. What is it?" the pompous Puyo master said.
"Can you come with me? There is something I would like for you to help me with downstairs. Vyse's orders," Axel said.
He smiled to avoid any sense of suspicion at all and following the orders directly as they should. Satan would grab his hand and shakes it in a dandy manner.
"I'm in. Anything to prove to that pervert that I am not a bad guy as he thinks I am. His head would never be in the right place. That is why you would take his words for a grain of salt," he said.
Axel ignores his smug retort and begin talking him out of the room silently while everyone continues conversing with one another. The atmosphere is very festive as the men are all excited for the party tonight. BD Joe and Vashyron still remain sleep due to the speed put on them from Noah. With the mage gone, someone else would have to wake them up in time when it comes close to party time. Isaac would be seen in a hidden room near the upper parts of the Delphinus, mostly being nothing more than a secondary cargo room full of crates and the like. He finally decides to answer the individual that tried contacting him for over a few weeks, one that he personally never wanted to answer unless he is fully alone. The silver haired boy would tap the message and it reveals the one and only Reala. The red Nightmaren is quite pleased to hear from him again despite his low patience for him. He is quite good at masking his anger as he wants to appear friendly with Isaac instead of making his true feelings too obvious.
"Hello, fellow Legion member. We all had been worried sick about you for some time. Did the heroes hurt you? Were you held prisoner to be some ransom tool? Nonetheless, we are happy to hear from you again. Is that Rin girl still with you? The Baron sent her other sisters to try getting her back. We have yet to hear from them again and had the suspicion the heroes kidnapped them as well. State your report, Isaac," Reala explains.
The boy gulps knowing that he is caught and thinks of something to say to his superior.
"Well, they did kidnap me and Fei Rin. The sisters also appeared, but they were defeated and held prisoner. The heroes have been treating me well with food, water, a room, and more. That is all that I can say to you," he said.
Reala would only keep his eyes focused on the boy after hearing his words. Little did he know that he would be in for more of the devious Nightmaren's questions.
"Have you at once planned when to kill at least one of the heroes while you are close? They are in your grasp after all. Where are you all? Our tracking devices were shut down briefly by the magic planetary storm we accidentally caused and you don't appear to be in a known location. According to this, you appear to be floating in the Atlantic Ocean near the Equator. If your power went down, all of you would had drowned and died. But since you are here and able to speak to me, tell me where you are," Reala said.
Isaac really didn't want to reveal where they are if it means an ambush, but at the same time didn't want to make himself too suspicious to the cunning Legion commander in any way. He thought of a great explanation.
"We are floating in the ocean. It's because Arle created this massive ice floe to cushion the blow, but it left he weakened. We are all alone. I never killed anyone because there's too many heroes around and it barely leaves me an opportunity to kill anyone. I hope that isn't too bad," he spoke.
"I see. Then why do I sense some extra magic readings on this "ice floe". In fact, why is this "ice floe" reading with massive magic readings and big as an entire island. You know that me and several other magic members can sense the magic of anything on a planetary scale. You deliberately seem to be hiding something and trying to lie to me. Especially after we all been patient with you doing one simple task since your disappearance. Are you really on our side or only becoming soft because of those heroes? I've discussed this possibility with Eggman already and his suspicions were true. You are easily a great disappointment for someone who's supposed to be our trump card," Reala sneered.
It was then when Isaac feels completely backed up to a wall with nowhere to go. He had a big intense heartbeat as if he's not about to get away from the Legion very easily.
"You are even finely dressed. Something I wouldn't expect from you. The fact you have been getting too close with these heroes is dreadful. Just because they saved you doesn't mean that you did not swear with the Legion to destroy all of our enemies no matter the costs. But because you are powerful and we all still need your power, I'll give you one more chance. Kill all of the heroes while you are close to them or you can come back to us with the Rin Sisters and all of the traitors alive. But forget Ramirez, Azel, and Selvaria. The three already sealed their fate as our enemies. Which will you choose?" he says with the creepiest toothed grin.
Isaac is completely taken aback by the deal proposed to him. He really did not want to come back to the Legion and the thought of killing everyone that were nice enough to take care of him would only be a slap in the face to Ali's words to him. He no longer had interest in taking over his kingdom anymore and at the same time did not want to lose himself to the evil of the Silver Armlet again like previously. He backed into a crate behind him, which lets Reala know that he's still hesitating and not choosing by of his deals.
"Well, which will it be? We won't be waiting any longer. You will always belong to us no matter what. Stand against us and you will face the consequences," the Nightmaren dares.
"What consequences, you will kill me?" Isaac asked.
Reala would snap his hand to reveal a dream screen behind him, one depicting Selvaria and Ramirez training Britney and Derrick in the stadium. Isaac would wonder why show them of all people when they had little to do with this.
"What's going on?" he asked.
Mishaela would walk her way close to Reala with a really sinister expression and her hand raised with magic. She performs a gesture, this would lead the two silver haired commanders to drop in severe pain. Isaac widened his eyes at what she's doing to them. Selvaria would cough violently while on her hands and knees while Ramirez drops on his back with violent spasms going on throughout his body. The two were in the worst pain imaginable, making the experience very frightening for their trainees that were there with them.
"D...damn it. She's finally starting to make her move. We...'ll die at this rate unless she gives us any mercy," Selvaria shouts.
She eventually coughs tons of blood from her mouth. The sight alone would cause Britney to scream in fright from what's happening to her. Ramirez would do the same, but almost choked on his own blood due to lying on his back. Which Derrick would bravely run and level his body to avoid the worst results. The boy would ignore all the blood his trainer coughs all over him as his safety is more important.
"Hang in there master, we will call someone from the medical side to deal with this. Everybody, we need help! Get these two to the ER room!" he yells.
Ramirez would breath heavily from the experience, looking more and more sickly. His eyes are now of severe red as if he could die in any moment.
"D..damn you, Mishaela. You...'ll not get away with this," he whispered.
Isaac would be horrified at what's happening to them at all and tried his best not to throw up. Mishaela already cackles widely at the pain undoing her resurrection spell is doing to them and laughs harder at Isaac's own horrified reaction.
"But that's not all. Let's show you how the treacherous dragon rider is doing," Reala said in joy.
Another dream screen would appear to reveal Azel alone on South Island, specifically in Aquatic Ruin.
The black haired woman would be sprawling around in intense pain screaming as her nerves are completely going haywire. The semi sunken Atolm is no better as the behemoth bellows in a mixture of sorrow and pain from what's happening to his internal body. The pain from his crash landing was bad enough, and now Mishaela undoing his living senses would put him through more physical torture. This would be too much for Issac to bear as he clutch his fists in anger, the Silver Armlet reacts with an intense red light that builds up from his growing anger.
"Stop it, please. Just stop!" he said quietly.
Mishaela and Reala would be amuses by what they're seeing, as if this was part of their plan.
"Oh don't you get angry. You brought it upon yourself with your own failure. These traitors had it coming for too long and we're simply acting on it. Just let me have my fun," the dark elf taunts.
"This can be all over if you do what I say. As long as she keeps this up, all four of them will be back the way they were. Rotting corpses that were buried from their pathetic deaths. Answer me, what will you do for us?" Reala announced.
Isaac is already losing himself in his rage and negative emotions which is signaled by the Silver Armlet going back to its full power. The silver haired boy lost all compassion and eventually became his hatred filled self again. Reala is growing more interested in this phenomenon as in he knew this manipulative plan he did would succeed in bringing back the old him. Mishaela could sense high magic readings from him as this is without a doubt the original Silver Armlet that she worked with. The once kindhearted boy is now back to his cruel dark demeanor as he magically shifts back to his original cloaked attire in a flash. This is only symbolic of his darkness coming back in full force to serve the Legion the right way.
"Yes, I shall bring all traitors back except the dying scum in your grasp, Mishaela. Expect me back in an instant with my teleportation. I will never fail you again, Legion of Subspace," he coldly said.
Reala smiles once more with one of their best allies returning to his obedient state.
"Good. We'll be expecting more of you. Welcome back to us, Isaac," the Nightmaren said.
Mishaela would lower her arm as promised, sparing the lives of all four living with her resurrection magic. Then the screen shuts off immediately as he laughs evilly. The cloaked sinister boy eventually warps to continue his mission. Satan would be locked in the cell to his surprise as he did not expect everyone to turn on him.
"What am I doing here? I thought you wanted me to clean the cells. I didn't do anything," the green haired man begged.
"Nice try, Schezo told us the truth. The fact you turned half of everyone in your home land into slaves ever since you joined the Legion. You are just as bad as any other villain we've ever met. Just enjoy your sentence. Arle will seal your magic too to make sure escaping is impossible," Axel Stone announced.
"I knew all this time. I just never wanted to tell anyone since the captain needed your knowledge to raid the mothership. It now that you're no longer needed, we can't just let you get away with your actions scot free. Just hold still, this will not hurt at all," the blue mage said.
Satan would only await the fate that will happen to him with tears in his eyes. Before Arle would raise her hands, someone familiar appeared directly behind her. Isaac then slams his Silver Armlet onto her head, knocking the mage out completely in one strike. She couldn't react, but only closed her eyes from the shock of the hit that happened. Both Axel and Satan would be shocked at the clocked figure that suddenly appeared to attack her.
"Is that you Isaac? It's hard to tell your magic levels are starting to change into something different," the green haired demon said.
"What the hell are you doing? Don't tell me that you're back to your evil ways," the cop demanded.
Isaac instead raised his hand, causing the floor beneath him to start sucking Axel inside like a quicksand. He struggled as his feet slowly sinks into the ground, trying to crawl his way to the boy.
"Come with me. Your real allies need you again," Isaac said, before breaking the bars apart with his magic.
Satan would only use this opportunity to escape his cell, but still has questions on what the Legion wants with him.
"Do they want to kill me?" he asked.
"No, they need your help. The Dark Demon's magic only made unstable Shadow Beasts that aren't as perfect. You're coming with me to help fix them," he said.
Satan felt relieved that the former would not be the case while sighing. Both of them would warp out the room immediately to leave no evidence behind. Now Axel would be semi buried within the steel floor and continued to struggle with Arle unconscious.
"Vyse, I really want you to hurry and stop them from getting away," he groaned.
All the male crewmates would be dressed up and ready to go as they lined up near the exit of their dorms. Shiva and Ash would be the last ones to get done, all sharply dressed for the party.
"Looking good, Shiva. You're a real lady killer with that look," Vashyron taunts.
"The same can be said for the big softy Ash. Break a leg," Ryo said.
Ash would cover his legs in fear as if he meant that literally.
"These legs are too precious to me. No leg breaking," he cried.
Shiva could only shake his head at his ally's fear.
Isaac and Satan eventually appeared in the room in a flash of darkness. All the men would be shocked not only because Satan came back without Axel this soon, but the fact Isaac is wearing his cloak again instead of preparing for the party.
"What are you doing in your cloak? We have a party to attend to," Zobio asked.
"Why is Satan back in his normal attire. There's something happening?" G wondered.
Isaac raised his hands and instantly changed Shiva and Ash's clothes back to their usual attire on a whim. The two were surprised as to what the boy is thinking with this trick.
"What's the meaning of this? Can't you see we had somewhere to go?" Shiva demands.
"You aren't staying with these do gooders anymore. We've wasted enough time bring their prisoner here," the Silver Armlet bearer replies.
All the male witnesses would gasp once they heard his words. Lord Max could sense immense amounts of magic coming from him, rivaling even himself in power.
This pressure, it's nothing like I've ever seen before. Is the power of that armlet controlling him again like during that sky battle?
Ralph has a feeling that something isn't right once he notice the Silver Armlet'a gem glowing brighter than before. The glowing eyes coming from under Isaac's hood did not help much as NiGHTS felt a killing intent from it.
"Who are you and what have you done with Isaac?" the Nightmaren demands.
"I am the real Isaac. Better than the soft hearted weakling who allowed himself to be captured by his own enemies. My real allies at the Legion opened my eyes, realizing that my true purpose is to spread darkness everywhere. That Ali fool leaving his kingdom wide open for my rule is too good of an opportunity to miss. All while you pathetic ants deal with the affairs of these inferior tribals. But I'm not leaving here alone. My queen, her sisters, Mr. X's men, and the Legion's key ingredient to the Shadow Beasts are coming back to the Legion as ordered. No one can stop me!" the boy announced in a warped voice.
Zephyr, G, Washington, Vectorman, Zobio, Harrier, Gunstar Blue, Beat, and Corn all aimed their weapons at the hooded boy to corner him from thinking about escaping. Chomp and Ace would snarl at their ally turned enemy, which only let their owners know that it's not going to be a good time. Will and Elliot gulped as they didn't expect the atmosphere to turn south this fast.
"Wh...what's going on? If this is some kind of joke, it's not funking funny anymore," a nervous Toejam said.
"You heard what he said. He's going to leave us all with some of the former Legion members to regroup with those villains. Something had to happen to awaken the darkness of that artifact again," Akira said.
"We all should had seen this coming. The Legion wouldn't let their best asset get away from them so easily and had sway them to their side by force. That's why we were all unprepared for it," Kazuma said in a serious tone.
"Enough, we are not allies anymore! We never were. If we were from the start, you all wouldn't threaten to lock us up because of your "guilt by association" cowardice. This is why we are all going back to our real allies and help them take over this universe together. Living with you all for few weeks, I have enough valuable information to tell our superiors. Especially Reala and Mishaela. They will be thrilled to think of ways to counter your futile attempts at toppling our army," Isaac barked.
"Why are you doing this? We saved you, something your own allies didn't do while they were scared from your out of control power. How would Fei-Rin feel if you were doing this? Wouldn't that disappoint her greatly?" NiGHTS called.
"Silence, traitor.! You would had made an excellent addition to the Legion of Subspace, had you not rebelled against your own. Reala told me all about you and betraying your own Nightmaren brethren was your biggest mistake. All because you care about good dreams for the children of the world. Soon, those dreams will eventually become nightmares once Reala finally put his plan to motion. This is why Satan is coming back with us to make the perfect Shadow Beasts needed for this plan," Isaac shouts.
NiGHTS tried his best to not lose himself in anger after being reminded of Reala's own thoughts of his defection from the Nightmarens.
"Never forget, we will shoot if you think about getting away with them or coming back to the Legion. We will not forgive you at all if you will let that arm accessory's darkness control you. Be better than that Isaac, you are not just some tool to an ancient demon to bring destruction to the world. You not only found love but chose to correct your own mistakes," Zephyr called with his finger steadily under the trigger.
"Shiva and Ash also want nothing to do with Mr. X anymore. You're making a big mistake if you will kidnap them against their will instead of leaving them be," Alex Kidd passionately yelled.
Shiva would only walk next to Isaac obediently in silence. This would disappoint a good portion of the male heroes since they didn't expect him to casually follow his orders. Ash would be conflicted over whether he wants to leave or not since he's frightened of the power emanating from Isaac's body.
"I will come back with you. There's no one I respect more than Mr. X. No hell with being the lapdog of my own cop enemies. They been nothing but a thorn on my side for a long time, just the thought of serving them disgusts me. Let's get out of here, together," Shiva calmly said.
Dr. Zan, Skate, and Max Thunder would only be shocked by the complete ten-eighty that he pulled compared to his noble decision to lock himself up a few weeks ago.
"You rotten..."
"That's not for you to say, Skate. Your brother would be highly disappointed in you saying that word," Zan warned.
"Once a criminal, always a criminal. This is disappointing for someone who wanted to atone," the burly wrestler said.
Vectorman begins charging the photon energy in his hands with the intent of blasting any of the escapees away at all costs. Tembo feels left out as he didn't drink enough water to stop any of them. Soon, a shocking situation happens that would catch everyone off guard. Isaac is kicked in the back by Shiva with one of his strongest techniques with his guard down. The impact would be enough to slightly crack his own spine. Ash screamed like a little girl from the sight as if he didn't expect this to happen.
"I will not become someone's puppet when I chosen to defect my boss earlier. Now let's finish this!" Shiva shouts.
Isaac eventually reawakens his dark power to swing the Silver Armlet at Shiva's leg. This eventually breaks it loud enough for others to hear and the man himself to scream loudly in pain. Satan then assists him by casting Angry Iron Fist, punching him in his stomach with a flaming fist. The end result would be setting him ablaze in excruciating pain for everyone to see. Then things would become clear to the heroes that everything is all happening because the Legion is forcing them all to come back. Although this wouldn't explain why Satan who promised not to cause trouble is now hurting his own ally. Washington and G fired their guns at twin magical traitors only for their bullets to be stopped immediately. The rest of the gunners would also fire at them, which would be as ineffective when their ammunition is frozen by magic.
"Crystal Dust!" Satan shouts.
Then a massive blizzard would ensue in the men's dorm, freezing almost every hero immediately in a flash. NiGHTS barely escape thanks to his flying speed and puns Satan against a wall after Drill Dashing into him immediately. Isaac then reacts by grabbing the Nightmaren with his magic, pulling him back in his direction. A single swing of his Silver Armlet would batter the exposed face of NiGHTS, immediately halting flight and knocking him onto the solid ground below. Ralph managed to break out of the ice thanks to his strength and massive arm strength.
"I'm gonna wreck some sense into you two!" he shouts.
Ash would be too frightened to do a thing since he knows defying these magical powerhouses would be a foolish decision. Ralph uses his wrecking fists to break Vectorman, Tembo, Lord Max, Big the Cat, GonGon, Max Thunder, and Bantam free of their frozen prisons before focusing on the enemy. "Thanks Ralph. It was too chilly for my fur. But I still haven't found Froggy yet," the dopey cat said. "Bolt!" Max shouts before a magical lightning spell strikes. Satan eventually cast his own special reflection spell, which strikes back at the heroes immediately. Vectorman instead chooses to fly up and take the hit for everyone to protect them. The electrical surges would affect all of his body and caused his segmented parts to cease working. "Ei Ei Poo!" GonGon shouts. Ralph punched the Monkey Ball to launch it directly at Satan. He casts Gaia Breaker to terraform a rocky slop to protect himself, bouncing the brown monkey back at Ralph. Luckily, his wrecking punches are fast enough to hit in time, bouncing it back at the slope and destroying it. Isaac jumps in Satan's way to protect him with his own magic shield. Therefore, rendering GonGon useless. Tembo charges from behind, and held the monkey ball in his tusks to use as a battering ram on their enemies. The war elephant then clashes against the magical shield that Isaac puts up to stop him in his tracks. Max would be back to his feet, preparing to cast Bolt once more to shock his enemies.
"Revia!" Satan shouts before he held his hand out.
That magic Max gathered would be no more as the blade felt like a normal weapon, thus halting his own attack.
"Damn it, should had known that you can seal the magic of others," he said in desperation.
Ralph jumps on the back of Tembo and rapidly punched the magic shield with his strength to try breaking it down.
"It was nice chatting, but we have somewhere to go. Good bye, fools," the hooded mage said.
All four of them would disappear immediately, which left Tembo and the two power houses crashing into the steel the bathroom door. Ralph fell to his back immediately from the shock and Tembo fell to his knees from the pain in his trunk. Feeling claustrophobic, GonGon immediately launched himself from the Monkey Ball and bumped his head on the ceiling. With everyone getting away, the least Big could do is get his fire lite ready to melt his allies free as Ralph slammed his fist in frustration.
"Why couldn't we stop them? They were in our grasp. If only Felix were here to fix this mess," the frustrated game villain laments.
The female dorm would be festive with almost all the ladies closed to finished. Tails and the other scientific minds would be in the middle of building their ninth hair station together thanks to their teamwork. As a result, there only remains a few women left to get their hair done which would be the Rin Sisters and Helen. Opal already left to find Claris' whereabouts of it mean everyone going to the party together. Isaac, Satan, and Ash holding the wounded Shiva would appear just in time for their last stop before it would be time to report back to the Legion. Blaze noticed the critical situation that her old nemesis was in and knew something would be very fishy about this.
"What did you do to Shiva and where are you thinking of going?" the cop demands.
A shadowy clone of Shiva appears from the ground to strike her with a kick. She would fight this clone back as she's not giving up without a fight.
"I have no reason to answer you. The Rin Sisters and their pet are coming with me. The Baron had been highly displeased with their failure and demands that I bring them back alive," Isaac said coldly.
Before Gum and Meemee could intervene, shadow clones of a Rokkaku Police officer and a Robo AiAi appeared to block their way immediately.
"Waaaaauuugh!" the female monkey cried.
"What the hell is this? Why are you doing this to your own allies. The people who saved you and your girlfriend from falling to their death?" the rudie asks before fighting the shadow cop.
RinRin, Ai Rin, Fei Rin, and Mei Rin would feel themselves being lifted into the air by the Silver Armlet's magic.
"What the hell is happening? I did not sign up for this!" Ai Rin complains.
"Kapukapukapu kapukapukapukapu!" Mei Rin barks in fright.
"This is not funny, Isaac. Unhand me now or I will not respect you anymore," RinRin shouts.
Isaac snaps his fingers to return the three assassins back into their normal attire with their weapons in hand to prep them for escape.
"Isaac, I thought you promised me that you would not let the Silver Armlet control you anymore. Was that another lie? You're beginning to scare me," Fei Rin said.
Gunstar Red, Lisa Rogan, Boogie, Gum, Rhyth, Cube, Leanne, and Gunstar Red all opened fire on Isaac to stop him out of desperation. They would all be shocked when he simply stops their ammo with his magic immediately to protect himself. Narsha and Tyris would prepare to cast their strongest spells to stop them only to prompt Satan to jump into action with his magic sealing.
"Revia!" he shouts while holding his hand out.
Narsha then noticed that she could fell nothing in her own hand as Tyris felt that her magic bottles are not giving her the fuel she needed for the attack. The barbarian woman then slams her sam on the ground in frustration knowing nothing could be done about it. Electra would notice herself being lifted into the air as well, wriggling violently to try breaking free.
"Why am I leaving with you? I thought I was defecting from the Legion," she cried.
But then she would notice the lifeless body of Shiva on Ash's shoulders. His charred body would only lead her to believe that he was beaten for his defiance. This angered the blonde woman so badly that she once again wriggle harder than before while screaming.
"I'll kill you! I will kill you all! You are monsters for thinking we are slaves to be working for some shitty cause like destroying the universe. I resent all of you horrible pieces of filth. Go to hell!" Electra cried with tears pouring.
Stella, Amy, Honey, Sarah Bryant, Pai Chan, and Mae charged at the two magic casters before them to put an end to their mayhem. Satan immediately summons a wall of Garbage Puyo to block their paths immediately from getting any closer. Amy slams her Piko Piko Hammer as hard as she could to hit the wall of hard gray slams in a rage.
"You will not get away with this. Electra is our friend and same goes to you. What did the Legion say that warrants you turning on us?" Amy shouts.
"That is irrelevant. What matters is that this world will be in perfect condition when me and our foolish allies will help the Legion rebuild this world into a better place. One where for once, we villains will be the ones to lead all beings instead of useless weaklings like presidents or kings. We would be the new leaders of the world. Making it a perfect utopia for us while the do gooders will be forced into hiding. Those who do not see anything good in our plan will be killed by our hands or be turned into a new vessel for a great Shadow Beast if they will be any use to us. Give up, you have lost!" Isaac shouts in a demonic tone.
Blaze and MeeMee succeeds in defeating the shadow clones and then see their allies struggling to destroy the Puyo Wall before them.
"You will not get out of here with our allies!" Blaze shouts.
"Allies? I thought we were just prisoners. You heroes are quite the violin lessons fools of you thought we were meant to be subservient to you. Your buddy Axel, thought he could arrest me based on something I deeply regret doing in the past. I made short work of him. He should had known better than thinking he could imprison me. As for Arle, Isaac defeated her easily. My nemesis had it coming for all the times she foiled my plans or failed to trust my own reconciliation. Sad how our alliance will have to end today. Isaac only made me realize who my true allies were," Satan days in a sinister manner.
"What are you talking about? You mean Vyse suddenly ordered them two to try imprisoning you and you both defeated them? I don't care about the reason but both sides were wrong. And you are even more wrong for helping Isaac take some allies who clearly want nothing to do with the Legion anymore back to them. Do you know how terrible that is?" Blaze said while clutching her fist angrily.
Isaac would only break into a wild cackle upon heading her words, this would only mock the fighting women further from being unable to break past the Puyo wall. Helen could do nothing but sit and cry about her inability to help anyone in a certain way. Latisha would be calling for Dural and Break to assist everything before they can escape with a certain device.
Go on, keep distracting them. Help will be on the way soon.
"You see, you all lost. You were all destinies to lose. The stats align for this world to belong to the Legion of Subspace. What makes you think you could all possibly win this war that we will have soon. Thankfully we will be merciful and leave you all be. We just want to bring our allies back to the Legion at all costs. Seeing there is no place for me here anymore," Satan replies.
Isaac would only drag the three captured women and KapuKapu closer to him as he prepares to make his leave.
"You will not get away with this. Can't you sees that you are only giving Electra more misery than before. Breaking her and expecting her to come with her is disgusting. What kind of person are you!" Sarah shouts.
"You have no room to talk. How did that brainwashing go, Miss Bryant? We know how Judgement 6 first used you as part of their project of crafting the strongest slave. You think that simply saving the world and fighting tournaments will undo the past damage? How you almost killed your own brother?" Isaac taunts.
Satan would raise his hand to begin gathering magic for a strong spell as the perfect parting gift to his former allies. Blaze and Sarah flinches upon the sight as Amy and Meemee prepares for the worst. Narsha and Tyris looks to the right from the incoming magical attack.
"Light!" a voice shouts.
Then a bright light would illuminate the room to blind both the escaping villains and the women in the room. Light being the counterpart of darkness would only weaken the current bearer of the Silver Armlet alot, causing him to drop Electra and the Rin Sisters. Ash freaks out at his eyes being blinded and held tighter to Shiva if it meant avoiding dropping him. Satan cooks recognize this spell from a while away and grew weary from the sudden light flash.
"Blast!" the same voice called.
Satan is eventually engulfed in an explosion that heavily wounds him.
"Da...damn you Schezo," the demon lord swore.
"Bindwa!" a female voice shouts.
Isaac is caught by surprise at the construction spell stopping his body from moving. The boy didn't want this to be the end of his mission and gathers enough energy from the Silver Armlet to try breaking free.
"Exit!" a male voice called.
Soon, both of the aggressors would be warped outside of the room immediately. Soon, they would reappear directly outside of the Delphinus on fresh land as the two villains would be knocked into the air by Titus and Astal's strength. Schezo quickly uses his healing magic on Shiva while Ash has him in safe hands. As the two dark sorcerers fly into the air, Mushiking greets them with a powerful horn attack that sends them flying to the ground. Noah quickly activates his magic shields to protect everyone below, thus being a hard surface that both Satan and Isaac lands onto. Satan screams in a high pitched cowardly manner as Isaac begins coughing blood from his mouth. Liu Bei instantly shocks both with a powerful electric shockwave from his swords and Raikoh follows up with an exorcism spell yo hold both of them down. With the immense pressure on them, they had nowhere to run as any dark beings can easily be held down by this classic onmyouji technique. Tempo then flutters his way down to fire a massive bubble at the trapped villains, which the bubble eventually swallows the the two inside of an air tight prison. Once the bubble floats is when Noah deactivates the shield spell immediately. Shiva would barely stand on his own two feet again thanks to Schezo'a help. Ash hugs him tightly while crying now that his friend is safe.
"Oh Shiva, I've been worried that you wouldn't live to fight another day!" the flamboyant thug cried.
"While it's great to be walking, you are only crushing my body. Just let go of me!" the long haired man shouts.
Electra also joins in on the hug due to being happy that he's back to his old self.
"Never mind him, I'm just happy that they didn't kill you at all," the dominatrix cried.
RinRin would be burning mad at the entire situation with flames to match her ferocity.
"Consider myself done with the Black Baron. I've had it with his extreme methods for punishing us for our failures! I never wanted to even go back yet that possessed asshole had to try dragging us back there. Just wait until I get my hands on that pimp and kill him harder than his own ho!" she shouts.
Ai Rin is too busy crying over how Mei Rin is limping from a broken leg. Fei Rin on the other hand is worried on what fluid become of Isaac with the Marines doing their best to wound him in every way. Rez would rattle the two enemies with the best digital blasts he had stored within his body. Scooter follows up with a powerful blast from his space flamethrower gun and Mr. Bones follows up with powerful blasts from his soul guitar. Kelly floats above the two and fired all the strongest shots she had from her gun to weaken their defenses. Then Kid Chameleon joins in as EyeClops to fire his zap cannon at the two and Dan joined in with his special Shock Burst. The weapon would be a homing weapon that can not only cause severe damage, but paralysis to any of its targets. The resulting explosion would be big enough too get the attention of all Maboo villagers at the party who were waiting for the heroes. This would be enough to get the attention of Chinto, who could tell this is more than just a minor scuffle.
"Now that is not a normal practice for the party. Something bust be happening over there," the tribesman wondered.
The smoke clears to reveal a heavily wounded Isaac and Satan who were narrowly saved by two Legion members who appeared just in time to take the Shock Burst.
This would be none other than Reala and Mishaela, who appeared just to see how their mission would go. The latter would use a magic shield to block the deadly weapon with all her might if it meant protecting their fellow allies. Satan is out cold from the damage he received but Isaac still had some fight left in him thanks to the Silver Armlet giving him the durability he needed to hold on. Several Marines and New Blue Rogues gathered around to see the strange sight that occurred. Vyse is less than thrilled to see two Legion members, let alone the commanders who are up to no good. Fei Rin is angrier than before now that she is aware that this is all their fault for her lover's succumbing to evil once more in the name of the Legion. Schezo knew that this is not a good thing and escapes immediately with his Teleport spell.
"Hey, where are you going? We did not order you to run away!" Ayame shouts.
But it would be too late knowing that she has to band with the few people outside to face their new enemy.
"So, you two were all behind this. Trying to take back people who you think belong to you using dirty tricks. Should had known that this would be all your doing," the captain said with his eyes on the two villains.
Reala would only cackle slightly at the correctness of his answer.
"That's a good answer. But it will not be enough to prevent the inevitable. WE will be taking these two along with our other members by force. Neither of you will be able to pull it off now that we've gotten stronger than the last time. It would had been a choice between that or we will simply undo the spell to kill three certain traitors that have no use for us anymore. Especially when we promoted better replacements in their stead. You should be very familiar with who we are talking about," the devious Nightmaren replied.
Isaac slowly kneels up in pain despite his injuries, just the sight would be too much for Fei Rin to see.
"I…can…still fight. Let me…send these fools to Hell…for you," he said with massive strain in his voice.
"Dear, you done quite enough. Anymore and we would lose our trump card. So why don't you sit tight while we take you back to base. We will not fight but simply take you and the others somewhere better than this miserable island we accidentally bought to this world," Mishaela said in a false worry.
"Cowards, that's what you all are. Playing with lives like they are all one big game to you. You couldn't just least well enough alone and instead act like those you revive who turn against you are mere toys to throw away. It's truly an honor to see such scum within shooting range," Dan said before cocking his gun.
"Save your empty threats. We have the upper hand, sixty percent of this planet belongs to us and there will be more under our rule as the Legion expands. And that's not even taking into account the planets our other members discovered. Just let us leave with our fellow members nice and quietly before we kill the three traitors on a whim," Reala said smoothly.
Instead, an ice spear would be thrown at Reala, which he caught in time. However, the flash freeze would be enough to encase his entire arm in ice. The Nightmaren would only know that this is the work of an angry Fei Rin. Even the Marines would be surprised that a Legion member would attack one of their own this fast.
"Who's side are you on? Aren't just as evil as them?" Scooter called.
Fei Rin would do nothing but glare at the surprised Nightmaren that's slowly freezing from his weapon. Mishaela is quite displeased with the assassin's defiance and clutches her blue fist.
"You do realize who you are standing up against, right? Turning on us will make you nothing more than a weak threat like these pathetic heroes. Are you aware that the Black Baron will want your head if you don't follow his exact orders? You will make an enemy of the entire Legion, you will no longer be one of us. No one will hesitate to kill you at any time. Is this what you really want, foolish girl?" the sorceress coldly warned.
"To hell with Legion! All of you are nothing more than selfish beings that control and use others like they are nothing more than tools. We aren't equals, we are just your tools to succeed. You know how horrible I feel that you changed someone I've lived into a heartless forceful monster? Disgusted. You act like we are friends but I see you as nothing more than filth that deserves to be killed more than my past victims. The world would be a better place without all of you. The Baron can go to hell for all I care. I would gladly be the one to take his head next time we meet," Fei Rin shouts.
Vyse smirks knowing she learned well from her time within his crew. Isaac is conflicted on how to feel after hearing her words as they finally reached his good side. Reala breaks the ice off his left arm and tossed the spear at the ground in pure rage. The Nightmaren has no time for games anymore, especially for more traitors choosing to defect from the Legion in his face where he's easily within reach. Mishaela would only raise her hand in the air knowing that there's only one thing left to do. The heroes grew cautious knowing that this means the end of Selvaria, Ramirez, Altom, and Azel unless there's something to distract her. Reala charged directly at the defenseless Fei Rin to kill her. RinRin jumps in the way with her fire fans ready to defend her older sister.
"If you think you are so strong without us, then see if you can prevent your death by my hands!" the angered Nightmaren shouts.
Shiva darts for Mishaela with the strength he has to try stopping her plan of killing their allies with her snap.
"Shiva!" Electra called in worry.
Suddenly, Reala stops in midair right before he could attack the two Rin Sisters. He couldn't feel a thing on his body and wonder why did his flight stop. Shiva tries to attack Mishaela in time, but she snaps anyway and blocked his kick with a magic shield. She snickered knowing that his futile attempt did nothing and she won with her devious plan.
"You fool! I already ended their miserable lives with ease. This is only the beginning and a reminder why no one can backstab us," she taunts with a wicked smile.
Then a massive blue beam pierced right through her body. The Marines gasped from the sudden sight that happened to her. Vyse could recognize that blue aura from anywhere, but more wondered how she's still alive at all.
Mishaela would look down once more to see the blue energy piercing between her body and demonic blood pouring from the massive wound. Reala turned around to see what happened to his ally and widened his eyes at what he saw. Selvaria would be standing right behind the sorceress and mortally wounded her with one of her deadlier Valkyrian abilities.
"But how, how are you alive and she undid the spell?" he asked.
"Why don't you ask the ones who crafted this excellent strategy to turn the tides," a female voice said.
Countless beams would be warped above Reala and pellet him all over his body at high speeds. A massive bellow would be heard from directly above everyone. Kasumi and Joe looked into the air to see a familiar large dragon flying down below at high speed. It would be none other than Azel riding atop her dragon Atolm with Shadow on top of the snout. The black hedgehog smirks knowing that everything worked out all too well.
"Shadow!" Vyse called.
"Of course, your Chaos Control is the only reason these traitors are able to come to this island. But how are they still alive when the resurrection spell was undone by Mishaela?" Reala shouts.
"Fight!" a deep male voice called.
Eventually, Reala lost control of his body and charged at the wounded Mishaela.
"No! No! I'm you ally! Don't attack me!" Mishaela shouts.
Selvaria let's go of the sorceress by lowering her aura projection from her body and watched as Reala beats her down like a puppet on strings. The puppet master himself finally reveals himself from behind Selvaria as it would be none other than Ramirez. Vyse has the feeling that the move was so familiar as it's his deadly Silver Nightmare technique. This move allows him to control anyone, friends or foes, with magic strings and have them fight others as long as he can control them.
"Since you are kind enough to ask. Schezo would be nice enough to give us all an idea that we never thought of before. With his ability to steal the magic of others, it would be useful to remove the magic of any beings for himself. We originally objected to the idea itself since it would be ludicrous, until he also explained that he can use his own resurrection magic on all beings. We both had the same suspicions that Reala would be asking Isaac to try killing everyone under the threat that he could have Mishaela undo the resurrection spell at all times. That fight he had with Satan was all staged, they knew the plan all along and to set it all in motion some suspicions had to be raised for these Marines with their cameras. Centurion helped in sensing the exact location of Azel and her dragon with his magic sensing ability. Isaac was the only one who had no knowledge of everything but played it all naturally to make it believable. You all were fooled into thinking they had to betray you all under force if it meant drawing everyone outside. All to draw the two top dogs from their hiding spot and everyone can take them down here while they have the chance. Never underestimate GUN's intel," Shadow explains.
Satan who was pretending to be hurt then gets up and heals himself using healing magic. To add more insults to the injury, he looked down at Reala beating up Mishaela against her will and flips his hair arrogantly without a care.
"You, you knew that this would happen. And here I thought taking you back by force would be very easy with Isaac's help," the Nightmaren said.
"Who ever said anything about me helping you all? You can make all the incomplete Shadow Beasts you want if it means your downfall. Besides, there's only one thing that matters to me," he said.
Ulala, who initially never wanted to forgive Satan for his horrible actions, now shimmers with hope knowing this is only his way of proving that he wants nothing to do with the Legion anymore. He looks at her and smiled in a kind matter now that he's completely free from them. Isaac finally stands up to his feet which Fei Rin runs and hugs him upon impact. Just feeling her warm body again felt nostalgic and the Silver Armlet's gem became dim once more.
"I'm just happy to hear that you don't have to be doing this anymore. We can live together in a world that is free of this darkness," she cried.
Isaac hugs her back once more and nuzzles against her emotional bosom.
"I'm proud of you today. For not giving up on me and standing up to these manipulative monsters. I love you so much, Fei," he said softly.
Alis and the others are still speechless over how their effort to stop a deserter and former Legion members going bad would be nothing more than a trick to draw the leaders here and free their allies from their life and death magic. Yes however would only break into jolly laughter since he's glad that these smart allies thought of something clever enough to fool both sides in a way that's beneficial for the heroic side. Astal and certain Marines are relieved that Schezo's mistrust of them was all scripted and only done to trick the very villains that watched them.
"I've got to say, he's a perfect Marine. Someone this smart is great enough for our group," Dan said. Shadow eventually warps to Vyse as he had something special to tell him. "We are going to the Lost Hex as the Legion's already attacking the Zetis' home to spite them all. Feel free to meet regroup there. We will all be waiting for you," the hedgehog said.
"The Lost Hex huh? We know they were up to something after the Deadly Six has joined us. This is low, even for them," the captain replied.
"The six didn't trust us at first because this Earth so needed to suffer but warmed up when they realized just how many forces are awaiting their arrival. We will free their home at all costs," Shadow replied.
Reala finally breaks free of the Silver Nightmare, frustrated and horrified that he nearly beat his own ally close to death because of letting himself be off guard. Just seeing Mishaela barely alive and struggling to use her magic is proof that she not going to make it as long she's this damaged.
"Ple...ease, get me back t...to base. I jus...st want to see my hus...band one last time be...fore it's too late," she said.
Reala would notice almost everyone charging their strongest attacks all together to destroy these villains once and for all while they're both wounded and completely alone. The Nightmaren struggles to create a portal if it meant saving the two of them while they had the chance.
"Everyone, pull me inside immediately!" he shouts.
Familiar Nightmaren limbs poured out from within the portal from a revived Gillwing to Chamelon to save their Level One Nightmaren brethren at all costs. NiGHTS finally flew out of the Delphinus immediately to see what Isaac was up to after recovering from the last hit. He then noticed him embracing Fei Rin from below to see that he's no longer under the dark influence of the Silver Armlet. But then drew his attention to his Level Two Nightmaren enemies pulling Reala with a wounded Mishaela inside of the nightmare portal.
"Reala! I will not let you get away after the misery you caused!" the angry Nightmaren shouts.
The Blue Marine Rogue Alliance and Shadow's group immediately held their fire once they noticed NiGHTS flying at the runaway villains immediately.
"Hold your fire! We don't want to accidentally hurt one of our own!" Titus called.
Ramirez and Selvaria powered down immediately in response as when they seen NiGHTS pursue his long time nemesis. Vyse has a bad feeling that Reala would get away to live for another day. "You can do it, try flying faster and he's yours!" he shouts. NiGHTS successfully tackles the two villains inside of the portal and it closes. Everyone then wonders what will become of their ally with him gone into thin air.
"It appears we will just leave it all to NiGHTS to finish them off while they are weak. I'll see you all another time. Never forget that we will be all waiting in the Lost Hex for all of you," Shadow said.
Both Ramirez and Selvaria jumped onto Atolm's back after the dragon behemoth lowered his body on Azel's command. Shadow did a short ranged teleport onto the back on the beast, and raised his Chaos Emerald into the air once more.
"Good luck Shadow. We will meet again there, I promise!" Vyse called.
"We all pinpointed your last location and heading there should be a piece of cake," Titus called.
"Thank you so much for your help. I didn't know what I could do if it weren't for your help," Fei Rin called.
Shadow nods and then channels the energy of the Chaos Emerald for his long ranged Chaos Control. Just the sight of Fei Rin being happy with Isaac pleased the two silver haired commanders as they reminded them a lot of theirselves. Selvaria in particular is quite happy that she finally gotten the revenge she always wanted on Mishaela in a great way. Azel looks forward to seeing her beloved daughter once more after Shadow found her. Ramirez could only admire that his military influences helped out a lot on his allies.
"Chaooooos Control!" the hedgehog shouts.
All five of them would disappear in an instant, presumably heading back to Morte's ship instantly. Everyone finally sighs knowing that they used a good deal of energy before a party that they all can relax in. All that would be left to do is waiting for all of their allies to finish dressing and heal from any possible wounds during this conflict.
"NiGHTS, we will all be waiting for your arrival. Come back to us safely," Alis said.
In the Nightmare Realm, The Nightmarens continued dragging Reala and Mishaela away after their collision course with NiGHTS. The purple being of good dreams would continue pursuing them all with all his might.
"Get back here! You aren't going to get away with all the damage you done to the real world! Face me instead of running away with your tail between your legs," the determined Nightmaren shouts.
Reala holds on to the bleeding body of Mishaela for dear life with his determination to save her.
Not here! And not now. The Legion shall not fall. If we both die, then there would be no better leadership for such powerful allies. Wizeman, forgive me!
NiGHTS would continue flying down the path with his blue eyes set on his very enemies escaping his wrath. It wouldn't be until a familiar giant hand gets in the way of NiGHTS to block his path.
"What?" he said in surprise.
Before he could halt, the hand eventually clutches to trap NiGHTS and crush him immediately. The powerful appendage severely harmed NiGHTS until he could no longer fly again. This is a reminder of just how powerful this Level One Nightmaren, the creator of all original Nightmaren, is when NiGHTS fails to Dualize with a Visitor. The hand finally opens to reveal the purple hero, now powerless and instantly defeated by his own creator. Another set of the same hands would appear of the same size, all sharing one thing in common with a gray skeletal-like fingertips and a terrifying eye on each palm. Then the wicked creator finally appears behind his his hands to tower over the now dangling NiGHTS with a hellish laughter that echoes across the realm.
"It's good to see you again, and back in the palm of my own hand too. You had given my favorite Nightmaren trouble for too long. Now is the time to bring you back in order," Wizeman said.
Well alot happened, but the biggest thing is that said conflict Schezo started was nothing more than an inside job he did with Satan and Shadow's group to try baiting a few Legion heads to come for an ambush. Not only that, those revived by Mishaela are free of their curse thanks to Schezo undoing their magic and reviving them with his own. This no longer makes the likes of Selvaria and others slaves to the Legion nor under their threat anymore. But the two villains barely escaped thanks to Nightmarens that saved them at the last minute, which NiGHTS chase after. But it is not long until his original creator Wizeman ambused him in his dimension. Next Saturday will be a big one, so be prepared. See you all next time.
