Time Squad appeared in the energy drainer cockpit. "Time Squad!"
Tuddrussel yelled to the pilot. He raised his hands and got out of the seat. Tuddrussel got into the drivers seat.

"Are you sure you've got your driver's license?" Larry snickered.

"Aw, shut up!" Tuddrussel yelled.

Otto rolled his eyes then looked out the back window. He saw two strange robots there. "Who are you?" He asked them.

"Hack and Slash" the blue one said.

"No." The red one corrected. "I'm Hack, your Slash!"

As they jabbered on, Otto blinked, confused. "Whatever." he finally said, interrupting them both. "Can you disconnect the cargo hold for the energy?"

"Yes." They both said.

"Then do that, when we say to." Otto instructed.

As they talked, Tuddrussel was already steering the energy drainer back toward the Principal Office.

As they reached the Principal Office, it started to turn around.
"NOW" All three yelled to Hack and Slash.

They turned a big faucet, disconnecting the cargo hold from the cockpit.

"Oh no!" Larry cried. "They're standing on the wrong side!"

"Not-"

"-Again!"

They suddenly fell forward to the ground, as the cargo hold fell backward toward the Principal Office. As soon as it hit, the energy drained back in. Time Squad cheered.

Larry typed in a command on his wrist-top. Bob's face appeared on the screen.

Otto came up in front of it and said into the speaker, "The eagle has landed." Then closed the lid.



When his Glitch's vid-window programming closed, he shrugged saying, "That must be the signal. OK! It's time to win this game!"



Tuddrussel sent the cockpit toward the arena. As he did, he asked the pilot, "For when we land, where's the brakes?"

"There are no brakes." He replied.

The three exchanged glances. "AHHHHHHHH!"




It's no use, Bob thought. The user's team's too overwhelming!

Suddenly, the cockpit of the energy drainer smashed though the arena wall. Then it crashed onto the user's team!

"Game Over."

The cube of energy, which had reshaped itself into an actual cube again, lifted away thorough a hole in the sky, taking with it, the costumes and the darkness.

As Megabyte's vehicles drove away toward the Tor, Megabyte called through his limo window, "You may have won this time, Bob, but we'll meet again. Mainframe will be mine!"

As they left… "BOB!!"

Suddenly, Enzo ran up to Bob and pounced on him with all his might. "Bob," he cried. "That was so cool! Those moves you did in the game were so alphanumeric!"

"Will you get off, Enzo?" Bob grunted. "Go pounce on them! They saved us in the game."

Enzo looked at Time Squad.

"Don't touch me!" Larry cried.

Everyone laughed.



Everyone gathered in the Principal Office.

"We thank you for helping us get back the Core energy." Phong said.

"All in a days work." Tuddrussel grinned.

"You're quite welcome." Larry said, politely.

"Don't mention it." Otto replied.

"That was great of you to do!" Bob said.

"You saved the fate of all Mainframe!" Dot agreed.

"You guys were totally alphanumeric!" Enzo cried.

"Well, we have to be going now." Larry said.

Otto motioned for a huddle. When they did, he asked them, "What will we
do with our icons?"

"We might as well keep them." Larry said. You never know if we'll ever come back."

So, they waved goodbye to the Mainframers, and they waved back. Larry punched a command into his wrist-top, and in a flash, they were gone.
