Chapter 48: LAZER TIME! We'll Finish This Game!

Previously, on Ranma Club…

Ranma and his friends managed to rescue ZZ and the others from ALPHA's trap, causing them to rethink their plan of action. Due to a suggestion from Flora and Tecna, ZZ procured the design specs of the brain grain for study, and discovered a horrible truth. It was then that ALPHA had decided to put his plan into action and secretly took over RM Corp, by installing his new krang bio-chips into Dr. Hiss, and now Luis Leon Paradigm, reducing them to mindless puppets for the brain bots. All this was witnessed by Ranma, ZZ, and the rest. The game has been drastically changed…

Opening (Saber Marionette J style, 'Successful Mission')

Music starts as circuit board illuminate in the darkness. Then the cast fall through a dimensional rift.

Haaaaaaaaa- Aaaaaah- Aaaaaaaaaahhh…

The 'Ranma Club' title appears as the background shows RM City.

Kimi wo mamoru tame, kono chi ni (I came to this land to protect you)
Kimi to deau tame, umareta (I was born to be with you)

The BOYZZ and BABEZZ's silhouettes are seen standing on a cliff overlooking RM City, then illuminates to show them.

Mezameta shunkan (The moment I awoke)
Mawari hajimeru PURIZUMU (Prisms surrounded me)

ZZ and Blitzy turn around as the camera zooms away from them. Paradigm, Dr. Hiss, and Lady Frenzy span by, then zooms out, coming from ALPHA's eye.

Kimi wo aisuru tame ni, ima (I'm here to love you now)
Kimi wo idaku tame, umareta (I was born to hold you)

Ranma drops down and nods. Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Layla suddenly appear behind him and embrace him, much to his embarrassment. Nodoka appears and giggles at her son as Sasuke drops out of a tree from behind.

Uso mo shinjitsu mo (Lies and truths)
Subete jibun no naka ni aru (Are all within ourselves)

Shampoo and Ukyou charge past each other then whirl around swinging their respective weapons before going lycanthrope. Mousse comes up and fires his chained weapons from his sleeves as the camera zooms away. Ranma spins around and takes a fighting stance before getting dumped with water, turning to his female form.

Kokoro okisari ni shite-iru hibi ni makenai (The days I abandon my true feelings… won't get to me)

Kasumi stands on a ledge looking out as she clasps her hands. At the beats, it shows side profiles of Platinum Sky and Diamond Brandon, Gold Helia and Onyx Riven, and Silver Timmy and Amethyst Nabu.

Yasashisa (yasashisa) itoshisa (itoshisa) (Tenderness (tenderness)… and caring (caring)…)
Mou ichido torimodosou (can be ours once again!)

ZZ, Blitzy, the BOYZZ, and the BABEZZ stand before RM Towers, then the scene turned into a hoard of heavily armed bots lead by ALPHA and the Brain Bots.

Ayatsuri-ningyou na mainichi no naka de (Day in and day out, like a puppet on a string)
ZERO to mugen no hazama wo mayotte-iru (Wandering in the void between zero and infinity)
Karamatta ito wo tachigiru chikara wa (The strength to sever the tangled wires)
Kimi no kokoro no naka ni mada nemutte-iru (is still sleeping inside of you!)

ZZ and Ranma's groups proceed to tear into the army of bots using super science, magic, spirits, and martial arts. They finally make a mad rush at ALPHA who meets them with a cold glare.

ZZ and Blitzy are seen running towards six shaded young women and two shaded boys.

Shots of ZZ and Ranma's group flash by before showing a shot of both groups together.

End opening

Zulander residence…

Ranma, Shampoo, Ukyou, and Mousse were currently in the docking bay doing some training against combat bot trainers. Just because they're in some other dimension and time period doesn't mean they should let themselves slide. Toolzz, Jammerzz, Ninjzz, Kunoichzz, and Katzz were watching them.

"I have to admit, their fighting style is impressive." Said Kunoichzz.

"I have to agree." Said Ninjzz.

"It's no wonder they're able to handle themselves despite being human." Added Toolzz.

Wasn't everyday one got to see anyone, teenagers no less, destroying rock, metal, and training bots with just their bare hands or unorthodox weapons. How could a kitchen utensil cause so much damage?

"HYAAAH!" Shampoo smashed a bot with her bonbori.

The place was soon littered with broken parts.

"Oops… maybe we overdid it a bit…" said Ukyou in embarrassment.

"It's no problem." Said Katzz. "We do this all the time, and Genesix would always repair them for us."

"Though it seems he'll be working overtime." Said Ninjzz.

"Hoo-wee! They be kung fu fighting, and they be fast like lightning!" rapped Jammerzz.

In the living room, the Winx Faeries sat at the couch. They were still quite unnerved at what they had witnessed from Tecna's spy bug.

"I couldn't get much sleep… that image was still in my mind…" said Stella. She couldn't forget the grisly scene no matter how much she wanted to.

"No kidding…" agreed Musa.

"It is indeed a scary thought…" said Flora. "I cannot imagine having my own free will forcefully taken away from me like that."

"I know the feeling all too well." Added Bloom.

Stella looked at Bloom. "Oh right, that time Darkar…"

Bloom nodded. She recalled how she was once turned to the dark side by Darkar years ago where she became Dark Bloom. That time, she couldn't control herself or her actions, and she wound up hurting her friends and those she cared about. She was thankful that everyone, especially Sky, managed to restore her mind before she unleashed the power of the Codex. This, however, was different. At least in her case, where magic was involved, there was at least a chance of restoration. With these new Krang Bio-chips, the recipients will be lucky enough to come out as vegetables.

"But that seems minor compared to this."

At his computer, ZZ continues to monitor Mirrorz as well as the Brain Grain schematics. He still couldn't believe what he had found out. It had already been two days since the revelation of ALPHA's 'upgrading' of LLP, and ZZ had no idea how to properly respond, and he had to think of something fast. His previous failure became his nightmare.

Secret area of RM Towers…

ALPHA watched as LLP walked through the hallways of the floor. The Krang Bio-Chip installation had proven to be a success.

"Motor controls are working perfectly, as expected." Said ALPHA.

"Now to find a way to get Zulander out of hiding." Said BETA.

"Perhaps I may make a suggestion, sir ALPHA."

ALPHA and BETA look over to a PPB walking in.

"Granted, OMICRON." Said ALPHA.

OMICRON nods. "As you have stated earlier, humans are flawed by their emotions, their greatest weakness. Perhaps we can use that to our advantage…"

Somewhere in RM Corp City…

Alicia looked out from her high-rise apartment balcony overlooking RM Corp City. She was a stunning beauty with mid-back length blonde hair and a light blue and white dress with detached sleeves. Around her slender neck was a crystal necklace and her feet in light blue calf-length high heel fashion boots. The young model began to reminisce about a certain scientist she met, and grew fond of. How they first met was quite a funny story when she thought about it. All due to an awkward call order from Watzon and Cook who wanted to "buy her from the catalog" when they tried to look for a date for ZZ. ZZ of course tried to clear it up, but he wound up asking her out anyway, despite the risks of being spotted out in the open.

She had quit the Corp modeling agency after seeing how corrupt RM was in their bid to capture/eliminate ZZ. Now, Alicia works with other modeling agencies while secretly helping out ZZ in his mission to stop the Corp's world-takeover plan. She managed to sneak hidden messages to him via modeling commercials when she wanted him to call her, which was how he found out about the Corp's dealings in South America.

Alicia could also never forget her time spent with ZZ, such as her inviting him to Paris with her for a modeling gig she took up. She figured it was something ZZ needed to relieve the stress of his private war. Then there was that birthday party that she and the BOYZZ had thrown for him. Though it was a bit of a shock to find out that Cook and Ninjzz had brought Lady Frenzy to him as a gift, ZZ chose her instead, which had made Alicia extremely happy.

And it would even make her even happier if ZZ were to give her a gift someday... like a gold band on her third left finger.

Now, Alicia couldn't help but worry about ZZ considering what the Corp has been doing as of late. She had heard about how they managed to get themselves thinking bots of their own, but were complete opposites of ZZ's BOYZZ and BABEZZ.

"ZZ… I pray that you are okay. You and your family." Said Alicia.

She turns and heads back inside. Suddenly, a small metal sphere rolls into the room and spews out a knockout gas. Alicia barely had time to get surprised and succumbed to the effects of the gas, dropping unconscious.

Town of Santa Marta…

A young woman walked down the streets of her hometown. She had blonde shoulder-length hair, clad in a red short-sleeved blouse tied at the front, an orange skirt, and blue leggings with black shoes.

"It's so peaceful…" said Milly.

Milly is actually the childhood friend of one Ziv Zulander as he also came from the town of Santa Marta. She had also come to grow fond of the genius scientist, but she figured science was ZZ's first love after all. They've lost touch since ZZ went to RM Corp City, then recently reunited due to circumstances. The Corp had been strong-arming her town in order to get ZZ to come and try to stop them. Milly helped ZZ eject the Corp from town and now protected from them since then. No longer did the Corp try to rule Santa Marta as the town was truly free from their influence.

Milly couldn't help but think about ZZ. She wasn't sure why, but she felt as if he was in a bind.

"It's all right. It's ZZ. He'd always find a way to bounce back."

She turns a corner to cut across the block, but was suddenly blown in the face with a gas cloud once halfway through the alleyway, causing her to cough a few times before passing out.

Somewhere in RM City…

At a college campus, a young woman and a boy, both South American, were heading back to the dorm they shared.

"Something on your mind, Tokiba?" asked the boy. He had short black hair, wearing a magenta short-sleeved button down shirt, blue shorts, and sneakers.

"Maybe, Timmi…" replied Tokiba. She had waist-length black hair, wearing a pink blouse tied up at the front which exposed her midriff, and a short yellow skirt stopping above her knees. She wore brown wedge sandals on her feet with leaf anklets and a pair of dark green sunglasses on her face.

"It's about ZZ, isn't it?" Timmi teased, causing Tokiba to blush.

"Gah! Well… yes, but not like that."

"What are you talking about, Sis?"

"Well… I feel as if the Corp is getting more violent lately…" She hadn't forgotten the trouble RM Corp had caused for her family's village back in South America. The villagers, including her own parents, were just too backwater, actually believing the Corp's humabot group were a bunch of gods laying waste to the village, threatening to destroy them all if they don't leave. Tokiba and Timmi were the only natives there who knew better, having been the only ones in the village to attend school overseas in North America, so they knew what bots were. It was through their friend, Alicia, that they met Ziv Zulander and his BOYZZ, who helped to eject the Corp from their base and liberating their village. Now the South American siblings have returned to North America to finish their schooling.

"But I'm sure ZZ's kicking some Corp butt, too!"

"You may be right, little bro…"

The two arrive to their dorm room. As soon as they opened the door, they get sprayed by gas, knocking them out.

O'Connor Estate…

Una O'Connor sat in her family mansion's living room reading a book. She had waist-length blonde hair and was clad in a short blue halter-top dress with low heel pumps. On her left wrist were two gold bracelets, her neck a pink pendant, and small gold hoop earrings on her ears.

Since the incident with the Corp's attempt to get their land to build a factory, their home was nearly destroyed by an MDB. Only the interference of ZZ and his BOYZZ were able to stop them. Since then, their land was protected from the Corp due to a threat of releasing a tape of the krang-chipped 3As going berserk, which they didn't really have, but the Corp doesn't know that. For that, Una and her family owed ZZ, Blitzy, and the BOYZZ very much.

Nearby, Una's brother, Ronnie, was playing solitaire. He was a pre-teen boy with short brown hair, with a light brown button down short-sleeved shirt, black pants, and red sneakers.

Currently, both were home alone.

"It's been quiet lately." Said Una.

"Actually, I kinda like it that way." Said Ronnie. He hasn't forgotten about the 3A incident.

"True. Haven't heard from ZZ since then…"

"Or Blitzy…"

"Well, wherever they are, they're making sure the Corp doesn't try anything."

"Those snobby suits will go down!"

"I only wish we could help them. Much of the city still believes they're terrorists."

From the ventilations above, a familiar metal sphere dropped in and fell to the floor, confusing the two. It spewed out knockout gas, causing the brother and sister to drop into a deep sleep.

Somewhere outside RM City…

In a modest house on the outskirts of a small town, Carlotta Savoy typed away on her computer. She was a young Hispanic woman with midback-length brown hair, clad in a white tank top, light blue form-fitting jeans, and white low-heel pumps. On her right wrist were three bracelets and on her ears thick hoop earrings. She wore a jeweled necklace around her neck, and a pink hair band on her head. Her light brown jacket hung over the seat she sat on.

Carlotta was a journalist who worked in RM Corp City, one of the few who had suspicions about the Corp's activities. During a Dallas flight, she was caught in a trap by the Corp to frame ZZ for a terrorist attack on the journalists on the plane, but she hid and discovered the truth, in which she gets targeted for. Ziv Zulander managed to rescue her in time before his robot double could finish her off. When it was discovered she was alive and knew everything, she got sold out by her own company to the Corp, where she was nearly turned into a humabot. Again, she was saved by ZZ. That event left her traumatized, as she was too scared to stay in RM Corp City since she will be hunted for knowing too much. Carlotta chose to hide herself for her own protection, much to ZZ's sadness.

So far, she had managed to do a good job, staying under the Corp's radar, living quietly in this peaceful town she set herself up in. Still, Carlotta couldn't help but feel ashamed. She felt what she did was cowardly. Because of the Corp, she had to go into hiding and start from scratch. All she could do was hope that ZZ succeeds in his mission to expose the RM Corp for the evil organization it truly is.

It was then she heard a loud noise.

"Huh? Who's there!?" said Carlotta in fear.

She walks out into the main hall, where she is then gassed.

RM Towers, Paradigm's office…

The brain-grained greenbot known as ALPHA sat at LLP's desk, having claimed the former company president's office as his own. After implanting a Krang Bio-Chip into Luis Leon Paradigm, ALPHA's secret takeover of RM Corp was practically completed.

EPSILON then enters the office.

"Report." Said ALPHA simply.

EPSILON nods. "According to our current figures, we will only be able to implant Krang Bio-Chips in only 20% of the RM Corp's general workforce and upper management personnel."

"Why so few?"

"Due to the inefficient actions of Paradigm, Dr. Hiss and Lady Frenzy, as well as the interference from Zulander's forces, the world supply of Krang Ore has been greatly depleted and mining new sources would postpone our schedule for complete world takeover by several years, let alone our possible plans to take over multiple ones with the dimensional gateway."

ALPHA considered all options before replying, "Though I would prefer to have the entire workforce of the RM Corp under our complete control, it seems that the most logical course of action is to use trickery to obtain our goals. We need only to implant Krang Bio-Chips in a few key personnel and deceive the rest into doing our bidding. We shall use the human trait of ignorance to our advantage. We already have the CEO and Head Researcher now working for us."

"Am I to assume that the Head Executive of Personnel and Affairs is to be our next target? "

"You assume correctly. Send word to SIGMA and CHI to bring in Lady Frenzy for Krang Bio-Chip implantation."

"And our other 'guests'?"

"Give them the same process."

"As you command."

In Zulander's secret base, ZZ frowned after hearing their plans.

"What do we do now, ZZ?" asked Kunoichizz.

"No choice. We've got to rescue her." Replied ZZ.

"I should've figured you'd say that…" said Blitzy. Personally, she'd leave Frenzy to her fate for everything she's done, but her brother was just too chivalrous for that.

"But who are those 'other guests' they mentioned?" wondered Rhymzz.

"I've got a real bad feeling about this…" said Genesix.

LLP's office, some time later…

At this point Lady Frenzy was unaware of the danger she was in as she was summoned to LLP's private office. Both he and Dr. Hiss were present as she entered and sat down.

" You wanted to see me, LLP?" asked Frenzy.

"Yes, Lady Frenzy." Replied LLP in a colder tone than usual. "Dr. Hiss and I have been discussing the final solution toward our mutual adversary... Ziv Zulander."

Frenzy felt a slight sensation of unease. Despite her loyalty to LLP, she still harbored some feelings toward ZZ. She was frustrated at the fact that he refused to work with them in their plans for world conquest. She also found it to be quite insulting to her beauty and ego when all evidence indicated that he had chosen that silly girl, Alicia, over her.

"So what are you planning to do about the issue of Zulander?"

LLP explained about how the girls who were closest to ZZ were being captured, and Frenzy felt a sense of deep satisfaction after she was informed that Alicia had been the first to be taken.

"A brilliant plan LLP. Zulander will most certainly try to rescue them and his... girlfriend. He'll play right into our hands." Said Frenzy.

"Indeed. It's so much more efficient to strike at an enemy's weak point. However, I cannot take credit for this stratagem." Said LLP.

"Oh? So is this Dr. Hiss' idea?"

"I did not come up with thissss plan. Thisss was the product of a sssssuperior intelligencccce!" replied Dr. Hiss.

Lady Frenzy was confused, as well as a bit perturbed with the way the two men were speaking. "What are you talking about Hiss? And why are you and LLP so... cold all of a sudden?"

"Do not let our outward behavior concern you. We have been upgraded past the need for unnecessary things like emotions. And now... we will share our good fortune... with you." Said LLP.

At that moment, ALPHA and several of the other Brain Bots appeared from hidden panels within the room. To Frenzy's shock, both LLP and Hiss knelt before their robotic masters. ALPHA then pointed toward Frenzy.

"Prepare her for Bio-Chip implantation!" ordered ALPHA.

Frenzy was immediately grabbed by a pair of Security Bots as she tried to get up.

"What are you doing?! Let me go! Executive Override!" shouted Frenzy.

"It is futile. Though they are not Brain Bots such as ourselves, every 3A in RM Corp has been reprogrammed to follow only OUR orders. The Executive Override system is no longer in effect." Said ALPHA simply.

"You can't do this to me!"

"We have already done so with Hiss and Paradigm. It will be no different with you." The brain bot addresses the 3A's. "Take her to the Bio-Chip Implantation Station. Once her chip is implanted, place her in the holding cell with the other prisoners. Should Zulander be successful in rescuing them, we shall have the perfect subject to locate and infiltrate his secret base."

Frenzy was dragged away kicking and screaming.

OMICRON walks up. "Once Frenzy has been 'upgraded' then our control over the entire RM Corp upper command will be complete."

ALPHA nodded. "Indeed, OMICRON. However, to proceed with our eventual conquest of the planet, we must take more ambitious methods."

"As stated before, we cannot implant Krang Bio-chips in the entire human populace due to the limited amount of Krang Ore."

"There will be no need to do so. As Paradigm had done with his conflicts with Zulander, we shall also make use of the media to our advantage. Humans are such simple creatures to deceive. We need only to take control of that medium and let their fears and gullibility do the work for us."

"I see. Who is to be our next target?"

"The key figures of the World News Network will be our goal. For the local areas surrounding the RM CORP, this individual will be our primary target."

The main holo-monitor lit up with an image of Lonnie Chang.

Zulander Residence…

Everyone was in the living room watching the monitor from Tecna's spy bug feedback. Currently, the monitor was showing a six-way splitscreen of different areas of RM Corp City.

"You certain about this, ZZ? They've captured some people?" asked Flora.

"Yeah, Flora. And if we don't find them and rescue them, they could meet the same fate as Paradigm and Hiss." Replied ZZ.

Tecna's spy bugs were programmed to pick up on where the Krang Bio-chips and their 'upgrading' stations were at. "Hmmm? They seem to have found something…"

The monitor showed secret lab stations like out of an old sci-fi flick, complete with operating tables. They could also see unconscious figures strapped to the tables. ZZ and Blitzy's eyes widened in horror once they recognized them.

"Alicia? Milly? Tokiba? Una? Carlotta?"

"Ronnie? Timmi?"

"This is very bad…" said Katzz.

"No… they've been taken by ALPHA!" said ZZ.

"Now we know who those other guests are…" said Bats.

"What are we going to do?" asked Genesix.

"We're gonna rescue them, that's what!" replied ZZ. "We don't have time to waste!"

"From where my spy bugs are located, they're all held in equidistant parts of the city." Said Tecna. "ALPHA separated them to make it harder to rescue the hostages. Don't worry. I can open up portals to where the bugs are so we can get there, but I'm going to assume that there will be heightened security at each place."

"You have a point, Tecna. This will be a divide and conquer mission."

"So who's going where?" asked Trick-Shot.

Team 1 (Ranma, Bloom, ZZ, Twig)…

A portal opens up and out pops the small group. ZZ looks about to see Alicia unconscious and strapped to a table in a separate room behind reinforced glass.

"Alicia!"

ZZ rushed towards the bound Alicia, followed by Ranma, Bloom, and Twig. However, they get met by BETA and another greenbot, PSI.

"Figures you've taken the bait, Zulander. You humans are so predictable." Said BETA.

"Prepare to realize the flaws of your imperfection." Added PSI.

BETA and PSI were then joined by several upgraded heavily-armed bots. ZZ cursed under his breath.

Team 2 (Stella, Ninjzz, Kunoichzz, Ace)…

The portal drops the group off in another lab. Looking about, they saw Una and Ronnie strapped to two tables.

"Over there!" said Ninjzz.

GAMMA and ZETA appeared with more bots. "This is as far as you go…"

"Should have known…" said Ace.

Team 3 (Flora, Toolzz, Katzz, Shampoo)…

Flora's group appeared in the next lab. They notice Tokiba and Timmi strapped to two tables.

"Aiyaa…" said Shampoo.

"How horrible…" said Flora.

Before they could move any further, they are met with DELTA accompanied by a security bot, RHO, and more armed bots.

"You will go no further…"

"Your mission ends here."

Team 4 (Musa, Jammerzz, Rhymzz, Bogey)…

Musa's group appeared in another lab, where they find Carlotta strapped to a table.

"She seems unhurt for the moment…" said Musa.

"Unfortunately, the same can't be said for you."

They all turned to see OMICRON with a greenbot, TAU.

"You shall be deleted."

More armed bots came in to face the outnumbered group.

Team 5 (Tecna, Bats, Ukyou, Trick-Shot)…

In another lab, Tecna's group finds Milly strapped to a table.

"We made it so far. She doesn't look chipped yet." Said Trick-Shot.

"It is pointless. You all will suffer the same fate."

They turn to see EPSILON with a security bot, LAMBDA.

"For the sake of perfection, you shall all be permanently erased."

Team 6 (Layla, Mousse, Nodoka, All-Ball)…

The final team finds themselves in yet another lab. Nodoka then spots someone familiar.

"Hey, isn't that…" started Nodoka.

They saw strapped to one table the unconscious form of Lonnie Chang.

"The reporter?" said Layla. "What's she doing here?"

"Look over there…" said Mousse.

On another table, there was the unconscious Lady Frenzy.

"Looks like they've gotten her, too." Said All-Ball.

"And now, we've got you."

They turned towards the cold voice and saw two greenbots.

"It appears they couldn't resist, SIGMA."

"Indeed, CHI. I believe cleanup is in order."

The two Brain Bots were joined by more bots.

Team 1…

"Uh oh…" said Bloom.

"We got a fight on our hands… how typical…" said Ranma as he cracked his knuckles..

"Would seem that way." Said Twig.

"Then there's no choice." Said ZZ as he activated the shades on his helmet. "IT'S LAZER TIME!"

*a pair of 3-D shades appear on the bottom right corner of the page*

A split screen of the Winx and Nodoka showed up.

"WINX ENCHANTIX!"

Team 1…

"ATTACK!" commanded PSI.

The bots opened fire upon ZZ, Ranma, Bloom, and Twig. The four quickly dove for cover from the lazer fire. ZZ returned fire with the lazers in his helmet as Twig backed him up with his numerous gun-ports. Bloom flew up, erecting a flame barrier to deflect the lazers coming her way then fired back with her mystic flames. Ranma armed himself with Brandon's broadsword and used its width to block and deflect the lazers before slashing into the bots.

The place was soon littered with broken parts.

"ZZ! WATCH OUT!"

ZZ turned in time to see PSI firing a huge blast at him, which was quickly intercepted by Twig's own blast.

"Don't forget about us, Zulander." Said PSI as he held up his arm cannon.

BETA then charged in with a lazer sword, which was parried by Ranma armed with Riven's scimitar.

"Oh no you don't!" said Ranma as he pushed BETA away.

"You are quite strong for a human." Said BETA. "However, we are still superior!"

"We'll see about that, you bucket of bolts!"

Twig and ZZ continued their fight against PSI as well as any bot getting in their way. Bloom manages to burn her way through more bots, then phases herself into the room where Alicia was being held in by turning herself into a body of fire.

Once she got in, she uses her powers to break Alicia's restraints, freeing her. Bloom checks the unconscious woman's condition.

"Good, she's all right."

Team 2…

"HOOOO! WA-TA!"

Ninjzz began conking bot heads with his nunchakus as Kunoichzz grabbed the shaft on her thigh, elongating it into a bo staff, before bashing the bots in. Ace immediately began serving his bomb balls into the bot crowds, triggering explosions. Stella fired off searing beams of light into the bots like highly focused lazers.

GAMMA suddenly strikes with a lazer shaft, which Ninjzz quickly blocked with his lazer katana. The two began trading blows in a fast-paced fencing round, where both their misses would hit any unfortunate bot in the way.

ZETA began to tangle with Kunoichzz as he extends a pair of three-pronged claws from his hands and slashed away while the BABEZZ blocked and parried with her staff. She managed to push him back with a flip kick to the head.

"You only delay the inevitable, lowly bot." said GAMMA.

"I'm no bot, I'm a BOYZZ!" said Ninjzz.

"And I'm a BABEZZ!" added Kunoichzz.

Ace served more balls, blowing up bots to thin out the heard while assisted by Stella's light magic.

"Stella! Get Una and Ronnie! I'll handle this!" said Ace.

"Alright!" said Stella as she charged forth and took out more bots in her path by rushing through with a light sphere encasing her. Getting to the door to the glass room, Stella ports herself in to where the brother and sister hostages are. She blasts their restraints off with well-placed light beams before checking their conditions.

Team 3…

Toolzz shot at the bots with his lazers while dismantling others who got too close. Katzz shredded in on her skates while slashing out with her claws, reducing more bots to scrap metal as she dodges attacks with feline grace. Shampoo whips out her two bonboris and smashes any nearby bots while deflecting shots with them. Flora summons forth a meter-long blade of grass and slashed with it, cutting through bots like a sword.

DELTA moves in on Flora, intend on running her through with his claw, but gets caught by Toolzz.

"Didn't your main processor teach you any manners?" taunted Toolzz before throwing DELTA forward.

"Your concepts of fairness and morality are nothing but self-induced weaknesses." Said DELTA.

After Katzz slashed apart the bots around her, her claws met with those of RHO.

"It is futile. You're all trapped in here. It is logical to see it is all pointless." Said RHO.

"Too bad. You don't know me all that well, or anyone else, for that matter!" retorted Katzz.

"So be it."

The two slashed wildly at each other.

Shampoo smashed off a bot's head with her bonbori before turning to Flora. "Flower Girl! Go on ahead!"

"What? But I can't leave you to-" started Flora.

"Shampoo is Chinese Amazon! This nothing to her!" Flora nods and flew towards the glass room containing Tokiba and Timmi. Shampoo turns her attention to the bots as she readied her weapons. "What tin cans wait for? Come get Shampoo!"

Flora fights through the bots and makes it to the holding cell. Phasing through, the uses her grass blade to slice off the restraints.

Team 4…

"FORE!"

Bogey shot his bomb balls at the bots as Jammerzz fired his lazer cannon arm. He skids forward and bashed into more with the jackhammer end.

"You all look tired, so take a nap, as I turn you all into useless scrap!" rapped Jammerzz.

Rhymzz fired her razor CDs at the bots, slicing them to pieces while whipping her weighted skirt to slice others closest to her. She takes out her mic and sends out a sonic wave, rattling the bots in front of her.

"That wasn't even on my high note!" said Rhymzz.

Musa fired off a wave of music note, which exploded on impact with the bots. More tried to blindside her from behind, but she stomped her foot, releasing a sound wave under them and sending them upwards.

"Man, this is annoying!" shouted Musa as she blasted another bot.

Jammerzz skated forward with his jackhammer at OMICRON, but was caught at the end in the Brain Bot's hand. Both struggled for dominance.

"You shall all be dealt with. You are imperfect and weak." Said OMICRON.

"Weak is something I'm definitely not! I'm a BOYZZ and not some dumb bot!" rapped Jammerzz as he shoves off OMICRON.

TAU tried to attack Jammerzz while he was busy, but gets blocked off by Rhymzz. "Oh no, you're going to tangle with me!"

"It matters not. I shall take you down the same with everyone else." Said TAU as he prepared his cannon.

"This will be your last chord!"

TAU fired his lazers as Rhymzz countered with her razor CDs.

A bot by Musa blows up courtesy of Bogey. "Go Musa! Get Carlotta out of there?" he shoots another ball at the bots.

"On it!" said Musa as she flew towards the holding cell. Some bots managed to get in front of her, but she quickly blew them away with a focused sound wave. Musa gets into the cell and heads for the table Carlotta was strapped to. Grabbing the restraints, she channeled high-frequency sound waves into the metal, causing them to break.

Team 5…

Bats grand slams a bot into more bots with his modified baseball bat, then tosses up a bomb ball before batting it into more. Trick-Shot pierced through three bots in the chests with her special cue before shoving them away. Turning, she throws up four bomb balls, then a fifth one, which she punches with her cue, in turn hitting the group of four balls she threw up earlier, scattering them all to hit and explode bots in five directions.

"My opening break!"

Ukyou deflect some lazers with the flat of her spatula, then brings it down to smash the bots. She jumps back and throws her mini-spatulas at some incoming bots, piercing deep into them before breaking down. Tecna fired off green electricity that instantly short-circuited the bots heading her way.

"Logic Bomb!" Tecna throws a sphere of green 1's and 0's at a crown of bots, which explodes and caused them to break down.

"And it's a home run!" said Bats as he smashed another bot away. He quickly brings up his bat to block the clawed hand of EPSILON.

"Do not think we're the same as those 3As you've just destroyed."

"No kidding. I liked it better when you were all just plain brainless bots!"

They shoved away from each other as EPSILON fired his lazers as Bats batted his bomb balls.

Trick-Shot punched another bomb ball at some bots, then quickly used her cue stick to parry LAMBDA's punch. "That was too close…"

"You should just give up now. The outcome will be unchanged no matter what you do." Said LAMBDA.

"I beg to differ! The game's still on and you'll be taking my dead shot!" said Trick-Shot as she punched a flurry of bomb balls.

LAMBDA dodges and returned fire. "Have it your way."

Ukyou and Tecna continue their fight against the bots flooding the place. The two look at each other and silently nod. As Ukyou smashed up bots with her spatula, Tecna fights her way to Milly's holding cell, shorting out the bot. Looking at the key panel, she phases through it as an electric current, appearing inside. Tecna gets to Milly's table and unlocks her restraints.

'I just hope the others managed to free the other hostages. We're on a time limit here if our escape is to work.' Thought Tecna.

Team 6…

"Take my spike, junkheaps!" shouted All-Ball as he spiked a bomb ball at the bots before him, blowing them up.

Mousse threw out knives from his sleeves, nailing bots right in their optics, then lashed out with numerous objects on chains. Nodoka fired off magical arcs from her katana, slicing through the bots like paper. Layla lets loose a blast of morphix water that pierces through the bots, then shot a solid water sphere at another group.

All-Ball ran about, trampling through bots and throwing punches as he sped past, then jumped back to avoid getting shot at by SIGMA.

"You certainly like to move around a lot." Said SIGMA as he continued to fire at All-Ball, who repeatedly moved about.

"It's better than being wasted, jerk!" retorted All-Ball as he took out a ball and kicked it at SIGMA, who dodged the explosion.

Nodoka weaved in and out, slashing at bots with her katana, then blocked the lazer shaft of CHI.

"No matter how special you think you are, humans are still imperfect." Said CHI.

"And you bots don't know everything!" retorted Nodoka as she fenced with CHI.

Mousse and Layla stood back to back as they unleashed attacks against the waves of bots with numerous weapons and water spells.

"Mousse, I'm going after the two women in holding. Can you handle things here?" asked Layla as she shot through a bot with water pressure.

"Go on! I'm a Chinese Amazon, in case you have forgotten!" replied Mousse as he took down a row of bots with a line of swords from his sleeve.

"I'll be back in a jiffy!"

Layla sped forth, forming a morphix shaft and batting away bots with it as she went for Lonnie and Frenzy's holding cell.

Turning into a body of morphix, she slipped through the door and went to the two operating tables. Layla first released Lonnie's restraints with her powers, then turned to look at Frenzy.

'Can't believe I've got to help her, too…' thought Layla before releasing Frenzy.

Team 5…

Tecna opened psychic communications with the other Winx girls.

'Girls! I've secured my hostage!' thought Tecna.

'Same here!' thought Stella.

'Ditto!' thought Musa.

'I have mine, too!' thought Bloom.

'They're safe!' thought Flora.

'Good on my end!' thought Layla.

Tecna nods. 'Good! We've got thirty seconds to rejoin our groups for portal pick-up! The delayed portal will appear where you all were dropped off and only last three seconds!'

Team 1…

Bloom carried out Alicia and busted down the door with a fireball to get out.

Team 2…

Stella encased Una and Ronnie in a protective sphere of light before blasting down the door with a light ray.

Team 3…

Flora summoned forth a huge flower bud where she place Tokiba and Timmi in before having the bud close, then destroyed the door by growing a thick vine to crash it.

Team 4…

Musa scooped up Carlotta, then turned and fired a sonic wave at the door, rattling it before it collapsed.

Team 5…

Tecna encased Milly in a digital barrier, then she shorts out the door with her techno magic.

Team 6…

Layla surrounds Lonnie and Lady Frenzy in a morphix barrier, then like the others, blasted the door down using water pressure.

The Winx girls exited the holding cells with the hostages in tow, blasting back incoming bots when trying to rejoin the others.

In order of Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Layla…

"Guys! We've only got…"

"… less than thirty seconds…"

"… until we can leave…"

"… so let's get back…"

"… to where we came from…"

"… and blow this place!"

"You got it, Bloom!" said ZZ. He opened comm. Links with the BOYZZ and BABEZZ. "You heard her, everyone! Regroup!"

"You think we'll just let you go, Zulander?" said PSI as he shot at ZZ, who ducked behind some machinery.

Twig picks up a nearby bot and throws it at PSI, who just blows it apart.

Ranma duel-wields Sky and Riven's swords as he fought BETA and more bots. The pigtailed boy jumps behind a bot and sliced its top half off before kicking it at BETA as a distraction, who slashed it in two. Gold Helia and Amethyst Nabu pop out from either side of Ranma to kick back two bots trying to blindside their host.

'Come on! Just a few more seconds!'

Ranma, Bloom, ZZ, and Twig with Alicia in tow are backed into the spot they came in by the bot horde.

"Give up. You've nowhere to go, Zulander." Said BETA.

"I don't think so." ZZ retorted.

Suddenly, the portal opened on schedule behind the rescue team, catching BETA and PSI by surprise. The same portals opened up within the other five locations.

"Go! Move!" said Twig. They only had 3 seconds until the portal closed.

All six groups quickly dove through the portals with their rescued hostages. Before the Brain Bots and bot horde could follow, the portals closed.

From LLP's office, ALPHA watched the whole thing with intrigue.

"Interesting. Seems I've gathered enough battle data for the next time."

Outside RM Corp City…

Everyone poured out of their portals outside the city.

"We made it! We're all alive!" said Trick-Shot.

ZZ's shades retracted. "Game over, BOYZZ and BABEZZ!" Everyone took a look at the rescued hostages. "Thank goodness, they're all safe and not chipped yet."

"Hold on a minute. Perhaps they are, in a different way." Said Tecna.

"Tecna? What are you talking about?" asked Stella.

"If those Brain Bots are intelligent, it is logical they'd also have the foresight to have a contingency plan prepared should their original fail." She uses her powers to scan the bodies of the kidnappees. Suddenly, small devices were lifted up from their bodies. "Looks like my hunch was right."

"Tracking beacons…" said ZZ. "If we did succeed in our mission, they would've found us again. These Brain Bots are getting really creepy."

"Want I should take them apart, ZZ?" asked Toolzz.

"Hold on… I've got a better idea. Give them to me." Said Stella.

Stella takes all the homing beacons and encased them in a small globe of light before causing them to vanish.

"Stella? Where did you send them to?" asked Bloom.

"Oh, just near the coast of the sea behind the city, specifically near the waste facility."

Everyone laughs at this.

"Great! Now that we got rid of the stowaways, let's head home!" said ZZ.

Zulander residence, medical bay, some time later…

"Mmmm… what happened…" groaned Alicia as she sat up. "Huh? Where am I?" Alicia looked about to see herself in Watzon's medical bay. Around her were the slowing waking up Milly, Carlotta, Tokiba, Una, Ronnie, Timmi, and Lonnie. "What? What?" She turned to see Tokiba and Timmi coming to. "Tokiba? Timmi?"

The two in question sit up. "Huh? Alicia? What are you doing he-, hey, where are we?"

"Oh… my head… what happened…?" said Milly.

"What's going on…? Where am I?" asked Carlotta.

Una, Ronnie, and Lonnie groan as they all slowly sat up.

"Oh good, you're all awake!" said Watzon.

They turn to see Watzon, but what caught their attention was the red-haired winged girl in the revealing outfit, who was emitting some energy waves from her hands.

"I'm glad you're all okay." Said Bloom after administering her healing ability.

"What happened? Where are we?" asked Alicia.

"And what are you?" asked Timmi.

Bloom sighed. 'Hoo boy, this could take a while…'

The medical bay opened to reveal ZZ and Blitzy entering.

"Easy there, she's a friend. She and her friends helped us rescue you all. You're in my home right now." Said ZZ.

"And just in time, too. You were all about to get Krang-chipped!" added Blitzy.

Everyone was surprised to see the Zulander siblings.

"ZZ? Blitzy?" said Alicia.

"You're Zulander!" said Lonnie.

"Don't worry. Everything will be explained in time."

Living room area…

Everyone became acquainted with each other once the hostages sans Frenzy were taken up. They recognized Ranma's group as the people mentioned on the news, but was quickly cleared up that they had been framed by the Corp like ZZ had been.

"So now you know the whole story." Said ZZ.

"So you people came from another timeline?" asked Una.

"Yeah, that's the whole deal." Replied Ranma.

"Sounds like a movie I watched once." Commented Ronnie.

"And you girls are actually Faeries?" asked Tokiba. Her parents would have a field day if they were here.

"Correct, as hard as it is to believe." Replied Flora.

"This is just too much…" mentioned Carlotta. Apparently, weird things had been going on while she was away from RM Corp City.

"You've attracted quite a group, ZZ!" said Milly.

"I still can't believe any of this…" said Lonnie. Here she was, in the home of the infamous Ziv Zulander. Not just that, there are magical beings in their presence. No one would ever believe her if she told people what happened. Yet, she had also gotten insight as to the Corp's real motives judging from testimonies of all the hostages who got nabbed with her. "The Corp is really behind everything…?"

"That's right! If anything, ZZ is the real victim here!" Alicia amended. "They knew ZZ would try to stop their global domination plans, so they had him labeled a terrorist to slow him down. Only a few of us know the truth."

"And those who do would be high on their target list. I should know." Added Carlotta.

"Unfortunately, this is no longer about the Corp anymore." Said ZZ. "Those Brain Bots have taken over and will attempt to 'upgrade' anyone with their new Krang Bio-chips. They've already done so with Paradigm and Dr. Hiss. It wasn't pretty."

"And we still need to find a way home…" said Ranma.

"The dimensional portal in that RM lab is our only way back." Said Musa.

"So what do we do now?" asked Ronnie.

"It's too dangerous to get you all back home. Since they've kidnapped you, they know where you live and would just try to kidnap you all again." Said Twig.

"Twig Darling is right. You're all not safe out there." Added Rhymzz.

"Until the matter with ALPHA is dealt with, you all need to lay low." Said Genesix. "Fortunately, the house is well hidden."

Groaning could be heard as everyone turned to the source.

"Where am I…? What's going on…?" Lady Frenzy's eyes widened when she saw who was in front of her. "Zulander! ?"

"Frenzy…"

Frenzy looked about to see the strange group of people who appeared in RM Towers that day, then the angry expressions of Alicia, Milly, Tokiba, Carlotta, Una, Timmi, and Ronnie.

"What is SHE doing here?" asked Una.

"She was rescued along with you as she was about to get chipped as well." Replied ZZ.

"Chipped…?" said Frenzy in confusion, before making a realization. "Oh my God! ALPHA! That insane bot chipped LLP and Dr. Hiss! He and his other bots were about to do it to me! He basically took over the Corp!"

"Hmph. It's called karma." Blitzy deadpanned.

"Yeah, no kidding." Added Milly.

Frenzy couldn't believe it all. The very thing she and the Corp thought to be the perfect weapon against Zulander and his group became the tool of their own undoing. She never thought the Brain Bots would turn on them like that. Now in an ironic twist of fate, she was rescued by Zulander's group.

"I hope you're happy! Your precious thinking bots you guys wanted so badly is a rousing success! They became smart enough to overthrow you guys! Now they've picked up your mission of taking over the world! We'll probably all get 'upgraded' because of you!" said Blitzy.

Frenzy didn't know what to say to that.

"Everyone! There's a major problem!" shouted D'Nerd, getting everyone's attention.

"What is it now?" asked Katzz.

"ZZ, while you guys were out on your mission, D'Nerd and I were scanning through the Brain Grain schematics." Said Genesix. "We've made another horrible discovery!"

ZZ came up. "What horrible discovery…?"

"As you know, all Corp bots have had Krang Chips installed in them. Now some of those bots have gotten upgraded with the Brain Grain, making the Brain Bots. That in itself was bad enough, but there's another problem! Due to the circuitry and effects of the Brain Grain, as well as the mineral components of Krang Ore, prolonged exposure to each other will slowly cause instability and build up anti-matter!"

ZZ's eyes widened at that revelation. "Wait… you mean…! ?"

"Unfortunately yes, ZZ." Replied D'Nerd. "Those Brain Bots are basically walking time bombs, each capable of leveling an entire country by itself."

Everyone cringed when they heard that. An explosion capable of destroying a country? And there was not one, but at least fourteen of those walking time bombs. The very thought frightened them.

Ranma and his friends thought back to a similar incident from their little visit to Manhattan. The amplified hydrogen bomb would have taken out a good portion of Northeastern USA had Tecna not stopped it in time.

"No… this can't be happening…" said Kasumi.

"We've got to stop those Brain Bots, and fast." Said Ranma. "But how?"

"We need more intel." Said Kunoichzz.

"My spy bugs are still around." Said Tecna. "Perhaps they've found something,"

"Worth a shot…" said ZZ as he turned on the televiewer.

LLP's office…

ALPHA sat at LLP's desk as LLP and Dr. Hiss stood by on either side of him. EPSILON enters.

"EPSILON, report." ALPHA said simply.

"Acknowledged, Sir ALPHA. The dimensional gateway is 87% completed. Due to the resources of RM Corp, we were able to reinvent its functions, as well as add in the ability to span different times and dimensions. Eventually, we shall come across materials for creating more Krang Bio-Chips to upgrade all imperfections. We've already implanted most of the higher-up personnel as per your orders."

"And the locations of our hostages?"

"Unfortunately, Zulander and his cohorts were smarter than expected. They managed to find out about the homing beacons we placed on the hostages should they succeed in rescuing them. It wasn't a total loss, though. With the new battle data, we will be able to adapt."

"See to the upgrading then. Zulander will most likely try to stop us. Brief OMEGA. I predict his services will be used very soon."

"As you command."

In the Zulander residence, Bloom became worried. "So they're near completion of that machine that brought us here in the first place. This is both a good thing and a bad thing."

"We can go back home, but they'll have a means to pull off an interdimensional invasion…" added Layla.

"ZZ… he just said OMEGA…" said Blitzy. "… and they've chipped most of the work-force, too…"

ZZ nodded. Seeing the brain-enhanced MDB again was something he didn't want to do anytime soon. He also couldn't help but feel sorry for those unfortunate Corp employees who have gotten chipped. The most they were guilty of with the Corp is by association, and that barely called for being chipped. "They're moving along with their plans already. Things look grim. It seems we have no choice. We'll have to launch a full-scale assault on RM Towers. To stop ALPHA from his global and interdimensional conversions, as well as prevent a possible anti-matter apocalypse."

"We're with you all the way, ZZ!" said Katzz.

"That's right!" added Toolzz.

"What better way to show our worth, than to go out and save the Earth!" rapped Jammerzz.

"Don't forget about us." Said Ranma, gesturing to himself and his family and friends. "That place has our ticket home."

"Thank you all…" said ZZ.

"Man, this is just totally cool if it weren't so scary!" said Ronnie.

"You can do this, ZZ." Said Alicia.

Lonnie couldn't help but feel this to be Pulitzer Prize material.

Frenzy suddenly saddled herself next to ZZ, much to his surprise. "You know, Ziv, this whole situation puts a new perspective on things. Perhaps once this is all over, maybe we can get reacquainted again… start from scratch…"

WHAP!

Lady Frenzy fell to the floor from the slap and looked in surprise at an angry Alicia.

"STAY AWAY FROM ZZ, YOU HUSSY!" Alicia shouted. Milly, Una, Carlotta, Tokiba, Timmi, and Ronnie stood behind her as they glared at the fallen Corp executive. They were more than annoyed at what Frenzy attempted.

"You traitor! You've got some nerve trying to kiss up to him after all you and your Corp partners did!" said Una.

"Yeah! Why don't you go back to your Corp buddies! ?" added Milly.

"B-b-but… I can't! They'll Krang Chip me if I'm found there!" said Frenzy.

"Considering that you tried to have me turned into a humabot, it would serve you right!" retorted Carlotta.

"Not to mention what those humabots did to my brother and our parents' village!" added Tokiba.

"And when you tried to destroy our home and us to keep us silent!" added Ronnie.

The angry group apparently had not forgotten the ploys the Corp had done, and now karma was biting back. They were all a heartbeat away from tearing out Frenzy's hair and gouging her eyes out.

"ZZ may have saved you out of the goodness of his heart, but that doesn't excuse you for all you've done! Give us one good reason why we shouldn't throw you out of here with the rest of the garbage!" shouted Alicia.

Lady Frenzy cringed. Things didn't look good for her. She had stepped on a lot of toes getting to where she is, or was, and now they demand retribution. Frenzy knew her beauty and charm would be useless on the Brain Bots, and these people, the females especially, were dead set on throwing her out to fend for herself as payback for what they all went through. With ALPHA leading the Corp and the Brain Bots looking for her, Frenzy had very few options and even less places to hide. As of now, she seriously began to regret her alliance with Paradigm. Her nearly getting Krang Chipped still made her shudder and didn't want to think what would have happened if they succeeded.

Frenzy looked in fear at the group before her, intent on dishing out their own retribution, but ZZ quickly interceded.

"Girls, please! We've got more pressing matters to deal with! Attacking Lady Frenzy isn't going to help!" ZZ then turns to Frenzy. "If I were you, Frenzy, I'd start telling us EVERYTHING that we need to know to beat ALPHA."

"You know, ZZ, we could just simply put her to sleep and scan her mind with the Mind-Sweeper device." Genesix suggested.

"Who votes to do that THEN toss her out?" asked Carlotta. All the girls, including Blitzy, raised their hands. Several of the BOYZZ and BABEZZ copied the action. Ranma's group just stood neutral as they watched the scene.

ZZ waved his arms. "Hold it, guys! You know we don't play that kind of game!" He once again addressed Frenzy. "This is your one, and ONLY, chance to do the right thing, got that?"

Lady Frenzy really had no choice. With a sense of defeat, she nodded.

Some time later…

ZZ stood before everyone as he uses a laser pointer on a vid-screen map of RM Corp City.

"Everyone, this is probably the most important mission we've ever been on. With ALPHA in control of the Corp, it will not be easy. Now that we know about the Brain Bots' statuses as walking time bombs, things look even more grim. If left alone, he'll eventually chip everyone in the world and others, and that's the best case scenario. Worst case, we all get swallowed up by anti-matter. We've got to hit the Brain Bots hard. In order to save the city, no, the world, we have to take them out once and for all. So far, we know there are fourteen of them: ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA, DELTA, EPSILON, ZETA, OMICRON, PSI, RHO, SIGMA, CHI, LAMBDA, TAU, and OMEGA. According to Tecna's spy bugs, they'll be lurking around RM Towers, waiting for us. OMEGA will be stationed outside. Blitzy, you, Genesix, D'Nerd, Watzon, and Cook will use Jungle Fiver deal with him. The rest of us will make pincer assaults on the building. Jammerzz, Toolzz, Ninjzz, Kunoichzz, and Katzz, you go in on Splitvan on the east side while All-Ball, Bats, Ace, Bogey, Trick-Shot, and Rhymzz, will go in from the west using Sub-Jet. We'll also set loose some V5As for added firepower. While that's going on, our guests, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, Layla, and Nodoka will go in from the top. Since they can fly, they won't have any trouble. While that goes on, I'll take the hidden passage to Paradigm's office with Twig, Ranma, Shampoo, Ukyou, and Mousse. We should all be able to rendezvous inside, then find ALPHA and take him down."

RM Corp City, late night…

ZZ sat inside the Twig car as he scoped out RM Towers from the city limit. With him were Ranma, Mousse, Ukyou, and Shampoo.

"ZZ to all points, are you all in position?"

"In position and ready ZZ!" replied Ace from Sub-Jet flying above.

"Ready on this side, too!" added Katzz from inside Splitvan.

"We're gonna take them down!" said Blitzy.

"We, too, are ready from up here." Nodoka psychically answered. Currently, she was in her Enchantix as she levitated the Winx in a spherical barrier above the building.

ZZ nods as he thought back before the mission briefing.

Flashback…

"There is a way to get to ALPHA that even he doesn't know about…" said Lady Frenzy.

"Go on." ZZ urged.

"ALPHA and those Brain Bots may have the complete schematics of the RM CORP building, but LLP had built a secret passageway to his office that wasn't INCLUDED in the blueprints. It was... supposed to be alternative means of escape... should his plans be discovered."

"So instead of an exit... we now have an entrance."

"I also have the access codes to that passageway. They weren't listed the RM Corp Database so they won't alert the security systems."

"Sounds just like LLP to have this kind of contingency plan."

"LLP preferred to cover all his bets... so to speak. You'll also find some considerable resources of weapons, energy packs and data on all of his past plans before he got Krang-chipped. I suppose you can use that evidence to convict him and Hiss after you defeat the Brain Bots. Will that do?"

"That'll be enough for now. However, don't you think this lets you off the hook for all the crimes you've done while siding with him. I can't guarantee that this information will be enough to keep you out of prison but I will ask the courts to be lenient."

Frenzy gazed into ZZ's eyes and saw just how serious he was. She silently cursed herself for her missed opportunity with him and nodded in complete and utter defeat.

"And how do we know she's not lying through her teeth? She's probably saying that just to get on your good side, ZZ!" said Milly.

"No, she's telling the truth." Bloom stepped in.

"How would you know?"

"Let's just say I can read people." Bloom was able to see Frenzy's aura projection, and from its solemn expression, she was able to discern her words were genuine.

End flashback…

"If what Frenzy says is true, the passage should be around here somewhere…" said ZZ as he searched the ground. He pushes aside a bush and finds a hidden access panel. "Bingo! Now, to punch in the access codes…" ZZ typed upon the keypad rapidly, then a moment later it beeped and opened a sizable trap door in the ground.

"You got it! There really was one!" said Ukyou.

ZZ turned to the others. "Well this is it, no turning back. You guys ready?"

"You need ask?" asked Shampoo.

"Let's do this." Said Ranma after punching his fist into his palm.

ZZ nods as he activates the 3-D visor of his helmet. "Then… IT'S LAZER TIME!"

*a pair of 3-D shades appear on the bottom right corner of the page*

Five vehicles consisting of a copter, a jet plane, a hovercraft, a tank, and a truck make a fast approach towards RM Towers.

"I'm still really nervous about this!" said D'Nerd from in the copter.

"Same here! I wasn't built to fight!" added Genesix from in the hovercraft.

"Quit your whining, BOYZZ! We've got to save the world here!" said Blitzy from in the jet plane.

They were confronted by an army of heavily-armed bots.

"Looks like we've got their attention." Said Watzon from in the tank.

"Ah! Zis iz going to be a tough cookie to crack!" said Cook in the truck.

They soon get fired upon by the bot army.

"Return fire!" commanded Blitzy as she and the others shot from their lazer ports.

Up above, Sub-Jet flew in low while firing off lazers at the bot army below. The bottom hatch opens up as Ace serves his bomb balls to blow up the opposition. Trick-Shot backs him up by shooting her own bomb balls.

Meanwhile, Splitvan drives in fast, shooting down or running over any bot in its path. It comes across another bot army.

"That's a lot of bots…" said Toolzz.

"Splitvan! Split!" said Ninjzz.

Splitvan separates into four vehicles consisting of a car, a six-wheeled humvee, a tank, and a small plane. The vehicles fan out as they began to fire back at the bot army.

Helibots suddenly appeared and began raining lazer-fire down.

"Oh man! Helibots! Forgot about those junkheaps!" said All-Ball.

"We gotta thin 'em out!" said Bogey.

"Then I'd say it's time we released them!" said Rhymzz.

Sub-Jet then drops off several large containers to the ground. They open up as the V5As unfold themselves to become twenty-foot armed battle bots. They go about firing at the helibots, shooting them down.

They get assistance in the form of Nodoka and the Winx, who have gone into their Enchantix modes.

"Go girls!" said Nodoka.

"You got it!" said Stella.

Bloom flies before a group of helibots and fires a flaming arc at them, blowing them out of the sky. Stella rapidly shoots down the helibots with light beams that pierced through their hulls. Flora caused several of the helibots to crash by growing thick vines into their propellers and tail propellers, stopping their flight and dropping like rocks. Musa fires a sonic wave at the helibots, causing them to shake apart into pieces. Tecna throws out spheres of compressed 1's and 0's at the helibots, causing them to suddenly shut down and crash. Layla forms a shaft of water pressure and slices several helibots down the middle. Nodoka charged her katana with magical ki and zipped by the helibots, slashing out with her passes.

From the Zulander Residence, everyone watched the battle on the televiewer.

"I hope they're all alright…" said Kasumi in worry.

"You can do it, mistresses!" said Sasuke.

"Even though I'm seeing it, I still can't believe it!" said Tokiba. She, Alicia, Milly, Carlotta, Una, Ronnie, Timmi, Lonnie, and Frenzy weren't able to believe seeing Nodoka and the Winx in their Enchantix forms and using actual magic to fight against the super science.

"It's like something out of an RPG!" said Kiddie. Nearby, Swang and Birden squeak and caw.

"This is better than any show I've ever watched!" said T4.

"It would have been good if the stakes weren't so high…" said T5.

Meanwhile, ZZ was speeding through the secret tunnel in Twig. In the backseat were Shampoo and Ukyou, while Ranma and Mousse rode on the car's wings.

"We should be getting close very soon, ZZ." Said Twig.

"Good. The attack's already started, so we gotta hurry!" said ZZ. He brakes upon seeing an elevator shaft. "That must be it!"

Everyone exits Twig, then the BOYZZ transforms into his humanoid mode.

Nearby was a storage area, holding a sizable cache of weapons and power packs.

"This must be that storage the woman was talking about." Said Mousse.

ZZ nods and takes out a small device from his pocket. Going to a nearby computer terminal, he hooks the device to it and hacks into its database. In less than ten seconds, he had downloaded all of LLP's secrets, which would send him away for a very long time, as well as clear the young inventor's name of the false charges placed on him. In short order, they were on their way to their final objective.

"You done over there?" asked Ranma.

"I am now!" said ZZ as he unhooks the device. The group approaches the elevator doors, ZZ activates the control panel, causing the doors to open. "Let's go!"

They all pile into the elevator. It was big enough for even Twig to fit in while assimilated with the car.

Back outside…

"This is one high score no one will ever beat!" said Blitzy.

"Blitzy! Something's coming!" shouted Genesix.

A huge portion of the road opens up, and out comes OMEGA.

"This isn't good…" said Watzon.

"So, you've all come back, as predicted. I shall enjoy crushing you like the insects you are." Said OMEGA.

Blitzy cringed seeing the MDB again. "JUNGLE FIVER COMBINE!"

The five vehicles transformed themselves into giant robot parts and assembled together to form a sixty-foot giant robo.

"It matters not if you become my size. You are still imperfect. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, after all."

"Just bring it!" shouted Blitzy as Jungle Fiver and OMEGA charged at each other.

Up above, the Faeries continue to take down as many helibots as possible.

Layla calls out to Sub-Jet. "Guys! We can handle this! Your friends could use some ground support!"

"Thanks, Layla! We're counting on you!" said Bats. "You heard the lady! We gotta start our rendezvous with ZZ!"

They park Sub-Jet, where everyone piles out and made a mad dash to the building. Bots appeared to block their path and immediately shot at them.

"Time to play!" shouted All-Ball. He kicks a bomb ball into the crowds, blowing them apart. He tosses up another bomb and spikes it at another group.

Bogey swings his bombs as Ace serves his towards the bots. Bats throws a line of bomb balls up and rapidly hits them as they come down. Trick-Shot throws a group of bomb balls over a horde of bots, then shoots a ball at it, causing it to split and fall upon the bots, causing chained explosions. Rhymzz takes down the bots with her razor CDs, while taking down others by using a microphone as a weighted flail.

On the other side, The different parts of Splitvan thin out the bot army. Ninjzz, Kunoichzz, Jammerzz, Toolzz, and Katzz exit and skate for the building.

Jammerzz, Toolzz, and Katzz fired their lazers at the bots as Ninjzz and Kunoichzz threw their alloy shurikens.

"You dumb bots! This just ain't your day! You don't wanna get scrapped, then get out of our way!" rapped Jammerzz as he smashed his jackhammer into some bots.

"Let's do the roller thing!" said Toolzz.

"YAAAA-HOOOO!" Jammerzz, Toolzz, and Katzz dodged the lazerfire via break dancing. Toolzz then rapidly dismantled the bots he got close to while Katzz slashed them apart with her claws.

"I'm just out of your league!" said Katzz, before casually lopping off a bot's head with her tail.

Ninjzz and Kunoichzz tore through the bot ranks armed with their ninjatos and kodachis. At a group of bots, the two robo ninjas blurred forward and were suddenly in crouching positions with their swords sheathed behind the bot group. Said bot group suddenly fell to pieces.

"Inside! Quickly!" said Kunoichzz.

Both groups managed to reach RM Towers as the V5As fought off the remnants of the ground forces.

Currently, Jungle Fiver was in a game of mercy with OMEGA, neither giving an inch.

"No inferior puzzle bot can stop me!" said OMEGA as he breaks away and punches Jungle Fiver.

Jungle Fiver counters by landing its own punch upon OMEGA, causing both to reel backwards. OMEGA recovered first and tackled Jungle Fiver to the ground and attempts to strangle it the shoot its head off at point-blank. The combined bot quickly raised a leg and kicks OMEGA off itself, causing him to flatten some unfortunate bots in the way. OMEGA gets back up and fires his lazer cannon, where Jungle Fiver responds by firing all its lazer gun ports.

"He's got to be the toughest MDB we've ever faced!" said Watzon.

"No kidding! A brainless one was bad enough!" added D'Nerd.

Inside the building, Jammerzz, Toolzz, Ninjzz, Katzz, and Kunoichzz fought their way through the tower's corridors. On the other side, All-Ball, Bats, Ace, Bogey, Trick-Shot, and Rhymzz fought their own way through the building. After a few minutes of fighting and climbing, they all eventually met up in a large arena-sized testing room near the top of the tower.

"So you guys made it!" said Rhymzz.

"Was there ever a doubt?" said Toolzz.

"Now that we're all together, let's meet up with ZZ!" said Katzz.

"There will be no need for that…"

The BOYZZ and BABEZZ became alarmed at hearing the cold voice. They all looked up at the darkened catwalks above, illuminating to show the Brain Bots: BETA, GAMMA, DELTA, EPSILON, ZETA, OMICRON, PSI, RHO, SIGMA, CHI, LAMBDA, and TAU.

"For we shall finish you all here." Said SIGMA.

The Brain Bots leapt down and glared at the intruding BOYZZ and BABEZZ.

"Bots who ally themselves with humans are nothing but traitors to the cause." Said RHO.

"Therefore, the only logical action is to eliminate you all, permanently." Added LAMBDA.

The Brain Bots go into their battle modes.

"Yeah, whatever you say, but we're not bots…" started Bats as he and the others got into fighting stances.

"WE'RE BOYZZ/BABEZZ!"

It was then the BOYZZ and BABEZZ charged at the Brain Bots as all hell broke loose.

With ZZ's group, they continue to ride the elevator towards Paradigm's office.

"Just a few more floors until we get to the top…" said ZZ.

Suddenly, the elevator shakes.

"What? What's happening! ?" said Ukyou as the shaking ceased when the elevator just stopped.

"No! Not now!" said ZZ. "The maintenance of this shaft must have degraded!"

"Guess we'll just have to go the rest of the way on foot." Said Ranma.

He lifts his leg and kicks open the elevator doors, causing them to fly out and hit the opposite wall. Everyone exits to find themselves in a deserted corridor.

"Judging from the interior, we're about five floors away from Paradigm's office, so we'd better get moving." Said ZZ.

They all began to head for the nearest stairwell, when suddenly they heard a scream.

"What? Someone still here?" said Shampoo.

"Come on!" said ZZ as he lead the others towards the source of the scream.

In an office room, a young brown-haired man was cowering before some greenbots, security bots, and PPBs. He was bespectacled with a grey clothing ensemble of slacks, short-sleeved button down shirt, and suspenders.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

The doors suddenly blew open as Ranma and crew rushed in. Ranma sliced the first greenbot in two with Brandon's sword, Twig blasts the second one with a lazer shot, Shampoo smashes her bonbori into a security bot, Ukyou smashed aside the other security bot with her spatula, Mousse slice the PPB into quarters with two broadswords, and ZZ blasted the final PPB with his helmet lazers.

ZZ looked down at the young man they saved. "Barnett, I presume."

Barnett was shocked to see who it was. "Zulander? And you people from the news!"

"You're welcome for saving you, by the way." Ranma deadpanned.

"I don't understand what's going on! Why did the bots turn on us like this?"

"Maybe this will shed some light on things." ZZ activated a holo-image of his prototype AI development schematics.

Barnett looked in surprise at what he was seeing. "You stole my design? I'll sue you, Zulander!"

"Look at the date, you dope!" said Ranma.

He does, and his eyes widened. "What the…? This was… made FIVE YEARS ago! ?"

ZZ nods as he deactivates the hologram. "I stole YOUR design? If anything, it's the other way around! What you really did was duplicate an old, and FAILED, experiment of mine! Your Brain Grain may make a bot smarter, but it lacks a heart, or the cybernetic equivalent of one. Their intelligence will increase with time, allowing them to make decisions for themselves and analyze any situation for optimal results. They focus purely on logic with no human morality clouding their judgements."

"In other words, those bots got so smart, they began to wonder WHY they were taking orders from Paradigm and Dr. Hiss, so they decided to take over and GIVE the orders!" added Ukyou.

"Thanks to those Krang Bio-chips implanted in their brains, Paradigm and Hiss are no smarter than 3As . Now those Brain Bots will use RM Corp's resources to do what Paradigm couldn't: take over the world, and possibly others! Only this time, human beings are the ones who are going to be forcibly 'upgraded' with those Krang Bio-chips!"

"Congratulations, dumb nerd boy! You just basically cause extinction of humankind!" said Shampoo.

Barnett sank to his knees in horror once the realization hit him. "No… no… this can't be… what have I done…?"

"ZZ! We must hurry!" said Twig.

ZZ agrees and they all leave the room. He was the last to leave as he gives one last look to Barnett. "We're going to have to clean up your mess. I suggest you get out of here if you know what's good for you."

ZZ leaves Barnett in his dazed slump.

In the testing room…

The BOYZZ and BABEZZ fought against the Brain Bots with all they've got as the area became a warzone.

PSI shoots at Bogey, who hits back with his bomb balls. BETA, GAMMA, and ZETA go toe to toe with Ninjzz and Kunoichzz with rapidfire slashes. Toolzz fought against DELTA as Jammerzz mixes it up with OMICRON. Katzz gets into a claw struggle with RHO and Rhymzz fights against TAU. Bats fights with EPSILON while Trick-Shot goes against LAMBDA. All-Ball is once again in a fight with SIGMA, and Ace is faced by CHI.

Bogey dodges the lazer fire of PSI, then drops his bombs to whack them back. GAMMA attacks Ninjzz with a pair of lazer shafts, who parries with his ninjatos. ZETA fight Kunoichzz with his lazer shafts as Kunoichzz counters with her kodachis. BETA fights both Ninjzz and Kunoichzz, so the two ninja bots were basically fighting one on two. Toolzz skids about against DELTA, both trading punches with each other. Katzz and RHO leap about at each other, claws bared as they lashed out with claw strikes. Jammerzz and OMICRON duke it out by rushing and punching at each other. Rhymzz and TAU fire at each other with CDs and lazers respectively before rushing in for melee, Tau lashing out with his claw hands and Rhymzz lashing out with her weighted skirt. Bats uses his bat to fence against EPSILON's lazer shaft before shoving each other away to fire at each other with bomb balls and lazers. Trick-Shot parries LAMBDA's lazer shaft with her cue stick and counters with rapid-fire stabs before shooting her bomb balls at him. All-Ball runs about as SIGMA shoots at him, before dribbling a bomb ball and throwing it, SIGMA dodges as they both rush in, grabbing each others hands in a struggle. CHI fires at Ace, who runs around throwing up bomb balls and serving them back.

"It is pointless. We've analyzed your moves and attacks and have adapted." Said BETA.

"We are perfect in every way." Said TAU.

"Well then, I guess we'd better try something different!" said Ninjzz. He looks over to Kunoichzz. "GALESTORM!"

Kunoichzz nods as she takes out a wire and ties herself and Ninjzz back to back at the waists. Suddenly, they both leap up and spin rapidly, slashing with their swords like a buzz saw. ZETA was sliced in twain at the attack while GAMMA's arm was hacked off. The two ninjabots separate and charge GAMMA in an X-strike, chopping him to quarters.

"Let's follow their lead!" said Rhymzz.

Toolzz grabs Katzz by her hands, then swings her around in several revolutions at DELTA, who get sliced at the waist by Katzz's clawed feet. Katzz's tail then lashes out to grab RHO by the neck and pull him towards Toolzz, who smashes his head in with his wrench hand before dismantling him.

Rhymzz grabs hold of Jammerzz's jackhammer as he punches forward at OMICRON. Rhymzz then does a fast pirouette with her weighted skirt, slashing him repeatedly before decapitating him. She then swings Jammerzz around at TAU, where the BOYZZ grabs him by the head and smashes him to the floor, then quickly uses his jackhammer to finish him off.

Bats and Trick-Shot jabbed their bat and cue at EPSILON and LAMBDA before jumping back. Trick-Shot tosses a bomb ball up, but then Bats leaps up and grand-slams it into EPSILON, blowing him up. He quickly drops a bomb ball towards Trick-Shot, who punches it with her cue at LAMBDA, hitting him in the chest and blowing him up.

All-Ball, Ace, and Bogey throw up their bomb balls, then All-Ball grabs the other two BOYZZ by their feet and spun them around while their sports instruments were out. His rapid spin smacked the falling bomb balls back towards PSI, SIGMA, and CHI in rapid succession, blowing them to pieces.

BETA was all that's left, and he was shocked at what happened. "No, impossible! This is not how the outcome should be! You are all imperfect!"

Ninjzz steps forth. "Don't you know the saying? Nobody's perfect. It is why we all strive to better ourselves in what we do."

"You Brain Bots made the mistake of thinking you're perfect, but you just go through the motions. You don't bother to get creative and think outside the box." Added Katzz.

"You lost because you lack this aspect. It's what makes us human in a sense." Said Toolzz.

BETA looked livid. "No… NO! This does not compute! THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE!"

In a last ditch effort, BETA makes a suicidal lunge at the BOYZZ and BABEZZ with his lazer shafts. Ninjzz and Kunoichzz suddenly slice his arms off, followed by Jammerzz and Toolzz punching him through the chest, Rhymzz and Trick-Shot bashing his lower half away, then finally Katzz slicing his head off with her claw. BETA's head bounced on the floor and rolled to a stop.

"It does not compute… it does not compute… it does no-"

BETA's head was crushed under All-Ball's foot. "And it never will."

"Now to find those Bio-chips!" said Trick-Shot.

Outside…

"There's no end to these things!" said Stella as she shot down another helibot..

Tecna activates her virtual visor and scans the area. She managed to pinpoint where the helibots were coming from, which were two hidden hangar bays. "Girls! If we can seal off those building openings over there, we can stop them from coming!"

"On it!" said Flora. She and Musa head for one of the openings while Stella and Tecna head for the other. Bloom, Layla, and Nodoka stay to take care of the helibots currently out.

Flora and Musa reach the opening where the helibots are spawning from.

"SOUNDWAVE SHOCK!" Musa fires a condensed sonic wave down at the helibots coming out, forcing them to crash back into the hangar opening.

"EARTHEN ROOT!" Flora causes the hangar bay opening to get clogged by a huge tree root.

Stella and Tecna reach the other hangar door.

"LIGHT SPREAD!" Stella fires off a wave of light beams down towards the helibots, crashing them down.

"MAGNET BOMB!" Tecna takes the destroyed and intact helibots and crushes them together before jamming it into the hangar door as a makeshift plug.

With the helibot generators out of commission, taking out the rest was easily taken care of.

"Good job, girls! Now I believe our friends over there could use help!" said Nodoka as she lead them towards Jungle Fiver, who was still locked in battle with OMEGA.

Jungle Fiver was trading punches with OMEGA, who then counters with a shot from his lazer cannon.

"GYAAAH! He's powerful!" said Genesix.

"C'mon, BOYZZ! We can't lose here!" said Blitzy.

Nodoka and the Winx hover above Jungle Fiver.

"Looks like you could use some help!" said Nodoka.

The seven Faeries joined hands and started a convergence, glowing with light. The light envelops Jungle Fiver completely.

."What… what's happening?" asked Watzon.

"No way! The power output has increased!" said D'Nerd.

"Go for it, guys!" said Stella.

Jungle Fiver rushed at OMEGA with a speed impossible for something of its mass. OMEGA was taken by surprise at how fast Jungle Fiver came to him and got punched hard, both being carried out into the city limits. While Jungle Fiver was still pushing OMEGA back, it lashed out with it's other fist and launched an uppercut at the Brain Bot, sending the both of them upwards.

"And now for the big finish!" said Blitzy.

Jungle Fiver flipped OMEGA over and clamped its arms and legs around his body, screeching down towards Earth in an earth-shattering pile driver that caused seismic tremors. OMEGA's head was completely smashed

"A smashing success!" said Genesix.

"Ooh fantastique!" said Cook.

Top floor of RM Towers…

Ranma, ZZ, Shampoo, Ukyou, Mousse, and Twig managed to arrive at the uppermost floor of the building. They come across a pair of huge doors.

"This is it, Paradigm's office…" said ZZ.

"Be prepared for anything…" said Twig.

Everyone nods, then Twig threw open the doors. They enter the huge office where they see Paradigm's desk in the back. The chair's back was facing them. It slowly turns around to show ALPHA.

"ALPHA…" said ZZ.

"Hello, Ziv Zulander. Seems you've finally made it." Said ALPHA. "It appears you've brought guests as well."

"It's over, ALPHA! Your allies are beaten! You're the only one left! We won't allow you to chip anyone! Not in this world, not in ANY world!"

"Hmph. Don't assume that just because you've reached me that you stand a chance. Far from it." ALPHA get ups from his seat and stands before the desk. "Once I get rid of you, nothing will stand in my way of creating perfect worlds."

The room is suddenly flooded with bots.

"You think boltheads stop us?" asked Shampoo.

"They're not here to fight you." Said ALPHA as the bot suddenly converged near him. "They are here to assimilate with me."

Before their shocked eyes, the bots transformed and assembled with each other, then finally assembling themselves to ALPHA. The end result was a huge twenty-foot mesh of bots roughly in the shape of ALPHA's upgraded form, with the Brain Bot at the head.

"Oh hell…" said Mousse.

ALPHA spoke in a deeper tone. "I am the peak of perfection. Imperfect organisms such as yourselves stand no chance. It is a logically forgone conclusion. I am ALPHA-Z!"

ALPHA, now ALPHA-Z, punches his claw hand down at the group, who quickly scatter.

"ZZ! Get inside!" said Twig as he opened his compartment.

ZZ quickly jumped into Twig's cockpit as he returns to humanoid battle mode. He activates the lazer cannons to fire back at ALPHA-Z.

The four members of the NWC darted about to dodge getting flattened and shot at by the transformed Brain Bot. Each would do a hit-and-run tactic upon the bot, lashing out with their weapons at each pass. For Ranma, Shampoo, and Mousse, it was reminiscent of the time they fought against Pantyhose Taro's cursed form. Unlike the minotaur lookalike, ALPHA-Z has much more endurance.

ALPHA-Z brings down his enormous arm upon Twig, who quickly blocks it, causing the ground around his feet to break a bit from the force. ZZ fires the lazers, which was blocked by ALPHA-Z's free hand. Ranma gets under the arm pinning Twig down and is swung upwards by Gold Helia, kicking the arm off. Mousse throws out his spiked ball on chain at ALPHA-Z's chest, breaking it a bit, before pulling back. He whips out his chicken and throws his egg bombs at the robot, causing chained explosions. ALPHA-Z aims his cannon towards Ranma and Twig, but his shot gets interrupted by Shampoo who smashed her bonbori into his arm, making him fire an errant shot out the window. He was about to flatten the impertinent Amazon with his foot, but she gets pulled away in time by Mousse and Ukyou. Ukyou quickly deflects an incoming lazer with the flat of her spatula.

"ZZ! This is getting us nowhere! His outer hide is just too dense!" said Twig.

"I already told you, it is pointless. Such imperfect beings you are, to tire out. I am patient. I just need to wear you down, and you will all be finished." Said ALPHA-Z. "I have prepared for everything you have come up with."

"We didn't show you everything just yet…" said Ukyou. She, Shampoo, Ranma, and Mousse looked to each other and nodded.

"Do it!" said Ranma.

Shampoo and Ukyou stored their weapons away and posed. "HENSHIN!"

To ZZ and Twig's astonished eyes, and to ALPHA-Z, the two teenage girls turned into their lycanthrope forms. They landed with their claws bared, glowing with ki.

"What? What is this?" demanded ALPHA-Z.

With enhanced speed and strength, as well as ki-powered claws, the catgirl and foxgirl darted around and slahed out, tearing off chunks of ALPHA-Z's body. Ranma then gets below him, summons his souls who were armed with their respective weapons, and shot upwards, slamming into ALPHA-Z's head. The force of the attack smashed him through the ceiling and on the building's rooftop. Everyone jumped through the opening to follow.

"I don't normally do this, but…" started Ranma as he used his powers to turn into his girl form, then… "HENSHIN!" Faerie-Ranma-chan emerges. She is suddenly enveloped in a corona of light, then charges towards ALPHA-Z. "METEOR RUSH!" Faerie-Ranma-chan slams into the huge bot's chest and exits through the back, leaving a burning gaping hole in him. She spins around and throws two lightning arcs into ALPHA-Z's back, electrocuting him.

At this point, the BOYZZ and BABEZZ caught up in the wrecked office of LLP.

"They're up there!" said Ace.

"What IS that disgusting thing! ?" asked Rhymzz.

"It appears to be… ALPHA…" replied Ninjzz.

Jungle Fiver, Nodoka, and the Winx also managed to arrive back to the building where they witnessed the fight against ALPHA-Z.

"Ew! It looks like a bunch of robots chewed up and spat out as a welded mesh!" said Stella.

Nodoka looked ahead and saw her son currently daughter in her Faerie-Mode.

After the electrocution, Faerie-Ranma-chan zipped in and knocked ALPHA-Z over, causing him to fall forward on the rooftop. Mousse throws out three nine-foot spears over each arm, where Were-Shampoo and Were-Ukyou jump and strike them down, stabbing into the arms, effectively pinning them down. Faerie-Ranma-chan finally drops down, kicking through the neck, severing the head from the body. ALPHA then falls out of the head in a daze and barely together.

"This is impossible…" said ALPHA. "This wasn't how it was supposed to end… this wasn't part of the process… I was the perfect being… defeat is illogical…"

The BOYZZ, BABEZZ, the WINX, Nodoka, and Jungle Fiver reach the roof.

"I was going to remake this world… many worlds… purge them of all imperfections… This is not how it was supposed to be…"

ZZ stepped forward inside Twig. "Don't you know the old saying, ALPHA?" ZZ charges up and fires a big lazer into ALPHA, blowing him to bits where his head fell where he once stood. "Nobody's perfect."

"YEAH! THEY DID IT!" said Blitzy.

"GUYS! It's not over yet!" yelled Genesix.

"Huh? What are you talking about Genesix?" asked Bogey.

Genesix quickly exited his part of Jungle Fiver to land on the roof. "The anti-matter is building up! It's coming from ALPHA's head!"

Everyone cringed as they saw ALPHA's head beeping dangerously.

"Just our luck, the future's bleak! All because of this mechanical freak!" rapped Jammerzz.

ZZ exits Twig to rush to ALPHA's head. Genesix and Tecna were with it trying to figure out how to handle the situation.

"No! ALPHA's about to go critical! Even though his Brain Grain is shut down, the Krang Ore in his chip is about to start a chain reaction!" said Genesix.

Tecna thought of something. "Maybe we can use the dimensional gateway to send it somewhere…"

"No time for that! We've only got ten seconds!"

"Maybe we can smother the explosion with a magical barrier… no, that will take too long to smother an explosion of that magnitude!"

"Only five seconds! Four… three… two…"

ZZ suddenly snatches ALPHA's head. "Why don't we just do this?" He opens a hatch in the head where the Krang Chip goes, and plucks said chip out before tossing the head away. Almost instantly, the build-up stopped and the disaster averted. Both Genesix and Tecna stared at him in amazement. ZZ shrugs and drops the chip to the ground before stomping it with his foot, shattering it to bits. For good measure, he fires his wrist lazer at the remains, erasing any proof of its existence.

"How… how did…?" Genesix started.

"If prolonged contact with the Brain Grain with Krang Ore was causing the build-up of an anti-matter explosion, then the best way to reverse the process was to remove the source of Krang Ore. It's like pulling a battery out of an in-se flashlight."

The NWC face faulted at that while Genesix and Tecna facepalmed in absolute disbelief.

"WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT!?"

ZZ could only chuckle. It was then the morning sun began to rise. He deactivates the 3-D visor of his helmet. "Game over, everyone. We've won."

At the Zulander residence, everyone cheered at the mission's success.

Aftermath…

The following day, with the threat of ALPHA and the Brain Bots over, Alicia, Milly, Carlotta, Tokiba, Una, Ronnie, Timmi, Lonnie, and Frenzy were about to return back into the city. Lonnie Chang reports back to her station, bringing with her the evidence against the Corp supplied by Ziv Zulander. Soon, RM Corp's takeover plot was exposed to the world, and the charges against the Zulanders dropped. The chipped employees along with Paradigm and Dr. Hiss were taken away for treatment, though for the latter two, it may already be too late. Even if they were to recover, they would both be spending life sentences in prison for treason.

Later in the evening a day later, Lonnie stands before RM Towers, where the battlefield took place. With her were ZZ, Blitzy, and the BOYZZ and BABEZZ.

"This is Lonnie Chang with the evening news in a very special interview with the heroes of the RM Corp Wars, Ziv Zulander, Blitzy Zulander, and their amazing bots!"

Applause as the BOYZZ and BABEZZ wave to the cameras.

"Oh they love us! They really love us!" said Rhymzz.

"Actually, Ms. Chang, they prefer to be called BOYZZ and BABEZZ. They're quite sensitive about being called bots." Said ZZ.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, Mr. Zulander."

"Please, call me ZZ."

"Alright, ZZ. So how does it feel to be a free man now?"

"It feels great, Lonnie. I don't have to wear disguises and sneak around just to do the shopping."

"Not to mention we get to finally live above ground again!" added Blitzy.

"Now about the future of RM Corp City." Lonnie continued. "What will become of the thousands of RM employees now that Sir Luis Leon Paradigm and Dr. Hiss have been committed to an asylum?"

"ZZ answered, "Unfortunately, Paradigm and Hiss can't be restored to normal. Even if they could be, they would just be charged for treason and spend the rest of their lives in prison. In any case, I hear the RM Corp has been sold off."

"But that would mean all those innocent employees will be laid off."

"That's the funny thing, Lonnie." Said Blitzy. "You see, RM Corp was sold… to my brother here!"

Lonnie was shocked. "You BOUGHT RM Corp! ?"

ZZ could only scratch the back of his head. "It's kinda ironic. Even though I was branded as a terrorist, I still possessed some shares in RM Corp. When Paradigm's stockholders bailed on him after his arrest, the remaining shares were sold to me for practically nothing. All of the workers will be able to go to their jobs the next business day once the building is remodeled. However, there will be one difference: they'll be seeing my signature on their paychecks. I am also renaming the company as ZZ-TECH. We will be building more efficient 3As with much less cost to the consumer. Thanks to the royalties, I am also raising every employee's salary by 10%."

From their homes, every employee was cheering for their new CEO.

"That is truly amazing! So in addition to the new 3As, will ZZ-TECH be manufacturing these bo- er, I mean BOYZZ and BABEZZ to the public?"

"Well let's just say that they're still works in progress, but I will promise to the public that all Krang Chips will be disposed of. In a few years, perhaps more BOYZZ and BABEZZ will work alongside mankind for a better future."

"Speaking of the future, I hear that former RM Corp executive Lady Frenzy won't have much of a bright one."

"Unfortunately for her, Lady Frenzy will be spending the next fifteen years in prison for her part in the world takeover conspiracy."

"I'm surprised she didn't get a life sentence."

"You and me both." Said Blitzy.

"Due to the information she divulged to me to help take down ALPHA, she was given some leniency. I certainly hope she becomes a better person once she gets out." Said ZZ.

As the interview continued, Ranma and his friends watched from a viewing portal on the building rooftop. Due to the agreement, their identities and part in the victory were intentionally left out. This world and dimension would only know of the heroics of the Zulanders and their creations, which was just as well.

"I still think we should have got some credit…" said Stella.

"Stella, remember, we agreed not to expose ourselves further in this world." Said Flora. "I don't think they're quite ready to know of the existence of Faeries yet."

"Yeah yeah…"

Dimensional portal lab…

The Winx and the NWC stood before the completed dimensional portal. The Zulanders, BOYZZ, and BABEZZ were also present.

"Well, this is it." Said Ranma. "We're finally returning home."

"It's been a long trip." Said Bloom.

"You've all done a lot for us. I don't know how to thank you." Said ZZ.

"Getting us back to our home will be thanks enough." Said Nodoka.

"Gotta say, you people are something else." Said Toolzz.

"You're all not bad yourselves." Said Musa.

Genesix and D'Nerd get the dimensional gateway active and pinpoints Nerima.

"That's our home in Nerima!" said Nodoka.

"Just the way I remember it." Said Kasumi.

The group turns towards the portal.

"We'll miss you guys!" said Katzz.

"It's been fun. Take care!" said Ranma. He and the others jumped through the portal, and just like that, they were gone.

"That's it, then. It's finally over." Said Kunoichzz.

"Not necessarily, Kunoichzz. It's just a new beginning." Said ZZ.

"A new beginning for Ziv Zulander! Genius, hero, and the Bots Master!" rapped Jammerzz.

To be continued…

Ending

As the credits roll, the epilogue of ZZ's world plays.

RM Corp Towers was remodeled and refurbished. Now instead of being shaped like the letters RM, it is now in the form of 'ZZ'. ZZ-TECH is now born, and the city renamed ZZ-TECH City. The humabot labs and Krang Ore factories have been destroyed, as well as the remnants of the Krang Bio-chips.

The Zulander residence was finally above ground once again, tasting open air for the first time in a long time.

Blitzy Zulander now attends public school now that her status as a fugitive was lifted. She was made famous and popular amongst the students for her involvement in the RM Corp Wars. She later began seeing Ronnie as he attends the same school.

Milly returned to Santa Marta, where the town thrived as being the hometown of the hero, Ziv Zulander. A monument was built in his honor for his heroic deeds. She later went to live in ZZ-TECH City to pursue her degree in business economics.

Una attends college in ZZ-TECH City as a world history major. Her family's estate began to thrive and grow now that the land around them, formerly owned by RM Corp, was returned to them.

Tokiba and Timmi continue working towards their mechanical engineering degrees in hopes of helping out their village in South America.

Carlotta returned to live in ZZ-TECH City once again after being forced into hiding by the Corp. She resumes her career as a journalist seeking the truth.

Alicia continued her career as a model now that the RM Corp was finished and spending time with ZZ.. She was later met by the young scientist, who presented her a diamond ring, bringing tears to her eyes at the implied meaning. The two were soon happily engaged.

As for the BOYZZ and BABEZZ…

Genesix and D'Nerd work in the main HQ in development as they are both science BOYZZ.

Cook managed to open up his own restaurant, which became a hit in the city.

Watzon worked at the hospital where his medical expertise was put to use, as he not only help cure ailments, but also do research on creating new medicines.

All-Ball, Bats, Ace, Bogey, and Trick-Shot opened a sports recreational center where people could play for enjoyment. Bats would also be visited by his old friends, Larry and his little league team.

Ninjzz and Kunoichzz opened a dojo where they teach students the art of self-defense. They were quite the task masters.

Rhymzz became a singing sensation, doing live performances at ritzy clubs and pop concerts alike.

Jammerzz, Toolzz, and Katzz have opened up a skate park where their blading became famous. They would put on live shows, and sometimes join Rhymzz on her performances.

Kiddie, Swang, and Birden spent most of their time outside, playing in the numerous parks now that they have no fear of being arrested on the spot due to the Corp. They soon made new friends with the local kids, bugs, and birds.

Twig continued to be ZZ's bodyguard, and soon Alicia's. He also inadvertently re-started the craze of robot cars.

Luis Leon Paradigm and Dr. Hiss were confined to an asylum. They were never cured of their chipping.

Lady Frenzy was disgraced and sent to prison. She was released ten years later on good behavior, afterward she left ZZ-TECH City and was never heard from again.

Barnett had been chased out of the city once it was known he created the Brain Grain in the first place, which almost caused the end of the world. Hated and ridiculed, he went into hiding. No one has seen him since.

At the now surfaced Zulander residence, ZZ, with Alicia in tow, opened the front door. He was greeted by Blitzy, the BOYZZ, and the BABEZZ.

"Welcome home, ZZ!"

Toolzz and Jammerzz: TELL IT TO 'EM STREET BOYZZ!

Jammerzz: You know the planet, was in a jam! A diabolical plan of only one man, but now he's nuthin' but a veggio dip, whose army of Brain Bots had really got him chipped!

Toolzz: Yeah! He's in the nut house! With his brain with the IQ of a little mouse! Ziv Zulander saved the world! He's the new CEO and he got the girl!

(Screeenshot of Ziv and Alicia kissing at their wedding)

Sports BOYZZ and Trick-Shot: The game's over! We got the high score! We socked, and we bopped and we rocked the Corp!

Cook: The war's over, and it's time to feast. To eat really well is to eat in peace!

Katzz and Rhymzz: Now ZZ-Tech will lead the way, after Ziv Zulander had saved the day!

Genesix, Watzon and D'Nerd: We're the Science BOYZZ and we use our smarts, to help mankind and to do our parts!

Ninjzz and Kunoichzz: We fight in shadows, we fight in light, together we helped save the world from its plight!

ZZ: I'm Ziv Zulander, ZZ for short, you know I fought the Corp, I'm the Bots Master! Listen up y'all, the war is done, but to keep the peace, you know that's number one! So the next time that trouble is made, when it's LAZER TIME put on your 3-D Shades!

LAZER TIME BOYZZ AND BABEZZ!

Bots Master!

Bots Master!

Bots Master!

Bots Master!

Bots Master!

Bots Master!

Bots Master!

Game over!

End ending

Nerima, Saotome residence…

Ranma and his family and friends appeared and dropped on the floor of the living room, where the portal vanished without a trace.

"We made it! We're home!" said Ukyou.

It was then Kiko and the Pixies entered the room.

"Oh, there you guys are! You've been in here the whole time, huh?" said Chatta.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" asked Flora confused. Everyone else was wondering why the Pixies were acting so casual despite their disappearance.

"Aren't you wondering where we've been this whole time?" asked Layla.

"What do you mean, 'this whole time'? We only saw you fifteen minutes ago." Replied Tune.

"What…? Fifteen… minutes! ?" said Bloom in shock. Weren't they gone for almost two weeks?

"Yes, that's right. Is something wrong?" asked Lockette.

"It would seem we've returned to the point we left…" said Tecna.

"Seems that way, doesn't it?" added Musa.

"Hey, what are you all whispering about?" asked Zing.

"Man, do we have a story to tell you…" said Ranma.

Preview…

Stella: After two jumps between worlds and dimensions, things seem to finally calm down.

Musa: Kinda seems all boring now.

Ranma: You kidding! I fantasize about things like this!

Bloom: It's another event at the school! A sports fest?

Layla: Looks like my kind of fun!

Flora: Team competitions, huh? Next time, on Ranma Club, 'Begin! The Furinkan Sports Fest!' I hope this will be peaceful…

Author's notes:

FINALLY! After almost a month, I've finally finished the chapter! It's taken me 39 pages on a 10 font to write all this. I thank AA for his continued support for helping me flesh this chapter out. The club is finally back home, where they can go into their own chaos once again. LOL.

Oh, XNALARA Posing Studio rocks!

Ocnarf – Probably not. Getting too close to returning back.

Kellym01 – Hmmm… need to think on this…

El Irrespondible – Cross that bridge once I get to it.

Ryan L. Spradling – A bit farfetched, though. Ranma's a fighter, not a scientist.

Masterart – And done!

Shinzochi – Does this live up to it?

Cabrera1234 – No problem!

jonV0 – No one should go through that.

Cyclon One – Glad to hear it. To think this fic of mine was written on a whim.

Oraman Asturi – Well, I got the idea from reading songfics in the past.

Jerry Unipeg – No, ALPHA's mistake was what happened here.

XRanger13 – Well, I'm kinda focused on this one.

AndrewK9000 – Hang in there, man.

Cast49 – Good things come to those who wait. Rushing only makes things sloppy.

Rashaan Butler – In my upcoming "movie" fic, they will...

Rictor Yagami – Well of course you'd know.

Unknown1124 – Sorry, never watched any Kamen Rider.

OBSERVER01 – You know it!

RHatch89 – Yes!

Kyuubi16 – Still waiting on them.

Cookiegirl28 – Different from what you expected, right?

RyoTheSaiyan – Finish your homework?

Firelordeg – It's a harsh reality.
