And we're back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, the normal reality and Meta-Verse goes find Schwoz when they needed his help this time, and Hakumei faces Mister Mind alone. Let's get this started, shall we?
Disclaimer: We don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Diamond: Previously on Meta-Verse.
Pururu: Can you tell me what happened?
Jane: I don't know. Gates just decided now to open up when there hasn't been gates before.
Reg: Where did she take Riko?!
Riko: Where am I?
Tod: How does she not know she's in the woods?
Nicholas: I am here by the President of the United States of America to free you from this prison.
The Adjudicator: I am the President of the US, President Adjudicator. I am also the criminal lord of the High Table. I freed you for a reason.
Nanachi: Jesus. Now we're facing HYDRA now, huh? Not good.
Flay: Maybe I can find out for you.
Katy: If you would, that'll be great.
Sonanta: Why are you friends with that dog? He is dangerous. Very, very dangerous. You know how many animals are killed by those dogs? Almost all. So why be friends with a killer like him?
Tod: Copper saved me. He hid me and led his former pack away from me. We are friends before he knew he was trained to do what his siblings have done.
Sonanta: Is that so? Then, you're a nuisance to the animals.
Milk: Question. How the fuck is a long sword supposed to be part of the Ritual?
Reiko: Um, sir. May I ask what you're doing?
Swift: Just making sure everything is here is all. Part of my job. We are going to install more security in this room. Are you here for the same thing?
Flay: Grab the sword, and I'll show you the back way out.
Swift: Um what's with the gun?
Tsumiki: Flay pointed a gun at you?
Vega: Project Phoenix. We needed to be initiated. Give me the boy, or you're going to die.
Tsumiki: Hold on a second. You're a Meta-Verse Agent.
Vega: That's because I was wanting to fool you the whole time. I do work for someone. And I acted like the decoy.
Milk: I get it. The real reason they want Pinocchio. They want the same magic that brought him to life. They want to bring the war machines to life with the same magic that brought Pinocchio to life.
Katy: We need to plan out on how to shut down the project for good.
Kate: So, what happened back there?
Katy: Well, everything got backfired. Flay seems to be working for HYDRA now, since it seems he betrayed us, Vega seems to know about the project, we figured out about the project and why they're after Pinocchio, and the project is all being led by Henry Creel.
Reg: The Mind Flayer? Is it revived already?
Milk: I'm just assuming it is and it is controlling Diamond.
Ringo: I spied on Diamond. I know who's controlling her.
Katy: Who?
Ringo: Mister Mind.
Scarlet Witch: You guys are lost?
Andi: Um yeah actually.
Scarlet Witch: Then we're the ones to help.
Deletion Leader: Normally you would be correct, however Mss. Reiko you seem to interfere what we want. Strange it may seem to you, but we need the boy Boes O'Brian to be bought back to life. We ourselves don't question it ourselves. So there had to be a reason why. If there wasn't then we would not be here.
Reiko: I think I know who the stole the Long Sword. I think I might lead you to that person.

Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the Meta-Verse Department Agency, we see the older Phosphophyllite and Trinity in a room, with them sitting at a couch.
"Your name is…Phosphophyllite?" Trinity asked.
The older Phos smiled. "It's not what you think. It's not."
Trinity nodded. "I'm just asking. Because, whether or not you're the one from before or the one after, you have something to decide on."
"I'm always having harsh decisions come to me at times. Rushing to me."
"I know. These decisions are harder than they seem. Do you know what the Matrix is?"
The older Phos shook her head.
"Let me show you." Trinity then slams her hand on a table in between them, and then the room turns into the Matrix.
The older Phos gets up in shock, then looks around. "Oh wow. A city? This is it?"
"Yes. Phos, Smith wants you, because he thinks that you're a good replacement for Neo."
The older Phos's eyes widened. "Great. Someone wants me for his own turf." She sighed. "What now?"
"You need to watch your back just in case things get worse."
The older Phos nodded. "Thanks for telling me all this."
Trinity nodded, then the Matrix transformed back into the room they were in. "Thought I might tell you now, so you know the whole truth."
The older Phos nodded. "Yeah. Thanks."
Meanwhile, in sick bay, we see Hugtan seeing Copper lying on the bed, with Tod right next to the baby.
"That was quite major. Seeing what happened there. Seems that this animal whisperer seems to be liking Copper now since she truly understands him now. Which is good." Hugtan said.
"I say no more of me bring controlled." Todd said.
Hugtan chuckled. "You're right on that."
Pururu then came to them, checking up on Copper. "How are you feeling?"
"Well better than I expected."
Pururu smiled. "That's good." She nodded. "Seems like you're ready for the day." She turns to Hugtan. "It seems Hakumei is preparing herself."
"For what?" Hugtan asked.
"Well, it seems that Fisher has given her the idea of something like the Trojan Horse. She is going to infiltrate someone known as Mister Mind and bringing our friend Diamond back." Pururu sighed. "I wonder how this is gonna go."
Hugtan nodded, looking concerned. "I see."
Sonanta then came to them, crawling to them.
"Oh gosh." Pururu looked at Sonanta's appearance. "You look like a mess."
"This is what a Hollow looks like. A messed up blob." Sonanta then crawls to Copper. "Does it look like you can walk now?"
"I hope so, but to be safe can someone put me down from this bed as I don't want to jump off."
Chito then came in and went to Copper, then got him off the bed. "There you go." She rubbed her forehead. "Have not seen a dog like you before. Given being in a place where almost everything doesn't exist anymore."
"Oh well my ears are a bit big. I'm glad I did not trip over them."
Chito sighed.
"You said you were in a place where almost everything doesn't exist?" Sonanta asked.
Chito nodded, sadly. "It was terrible. It is only just me and Yuu. Everyone is dead, except for us two. It is such a barren world. Nothing exists. It's like the end of the world."
"That is sad. With being two of you in one lonely world." Sonanta said.
"I say I don't know what I would do if that happend where I came from." Tod said.
"Trust me, you never want that to happen. It's like an apocalypse there. Well, without the zombies. I don't think you know what those are. But someone does." Chito turns to someone that is coming in the room. And that someone being Michonne.
"I was wondering where this place was. I could easily get lost in here." Michonne said.
"Are you in need of medical attention or something?" Pururu asked.
"No but given what I been threw its good to know where things are at just in case."
Pururu nodded.
Sonanta goes to Michonne, with the zombie survivor being shocked at the Hollow's appearance: A messy blob, with four claw-like legs, a deformed mouth, and an eye being out of its eye socket.
"Um ok I seen a lot of strange things while walking around here and well I guess I should not be surprised anymore."
"You know about zombies? Lone survivor here told me you knew about them." Sonanta said.
Michonne blinked for a bit. "Oh yeah um sorry where I'm from they are called walkers and this virus just happened and now people that got sick became them and once bit there is not much you can do and they will change into them. The only way to kill them is in the head."
Sonanta seems to be frightened at what Michonne said. "I see…"
Katy Caterpillar came in. "Just checking to see how things are going."
"Doing okay in here." Hugtan said. "Copper's up."
Katy nodded. "That's good. I'm here to confirm that we're leaving to find Schwoz again."
"Finding Schwoz? Is that okay?" Hugtan asked.
"We have to. We need his help now." Katy said. "And some of you will be tagging along."
"What's a Schwoz?" Copper asked.
"Oh, he's a good friend of ours." Katy nodded. "He splitted up with us when a friend of his died. Due to an accident."
"Oh that's sad." Tod said.
"That part of life Fox." Michone said.
"Sad that it is." Hugtan nodded.
Katy nodded. "We better head on. I believe he might still be located in France."
Hugtan nodded.
Later, everyone is in the van truck, heading to France.
"So, we find our good old trusty inventor, Schwoz, and tell him our current condition. Not too shabby. But how can we convince him to come back?" Milk Chan asked.
"Well, he did say he is building a battery for the pod that Bose is in." Reg said.
"That's good." Chapa de Silva said.
Reg nodded.
"So, where is he located in France?" Riko asked.
"Last time we checked, he was gonna be in a Junk n Stuff." Mito Mitsukuni replied.
"Not to burst any bubbles. Wait, is that saying right?" Swift asked.
"Yeah. Not to burst any bubbles." Milk confirmed to Swift.
"Anyways just because Bose is in this junk in stuff don't mean there is one in France. He could of just been in France." Swift said
"I say we try to locate a Junk n Stuff then, see where we can locate one." Katy suggested.
"Better idea." The younger Phosphophyllite said.
"Well maybe it's in this world's swellview." Mika Macklin said.
"Do we even have this reality's version of Swellville?" Paiman asked.
"We probably should." ID-3 Hoihoi-san said.
"Then we go there." Raggedy Ann said. "Like visiting the world of superheroes. Yay."
Milk nodded.
Swellville
Later, in an alternate reality of a place called Swellville, they reached a Junk n Stuff there.
"Looks like this is it." Katy said.
"That's good let's hope they are inside." Miles said.
Afterwards, they went inside the store. While there, they saw the Amoeba Sisters, Pinky and Petunia, as they were cleaning off the counter.
"Thought we might see you guys again." Riko said.
Petunia was the first to look up. "Oh, Riko. Hi. Um, busy, busy right now. What do you guys want?"
"By chance did you see a short almost balding man come in here?" Henry Hart asked.
"Schwoz Schwartz you mean. He is here. He already got the battery finished and is putting it in the pod right now." Pinky said.
"Alright." Katy nodded. "Then I say we pay him a little visit."
Then they've gone to where Schwoz Schwartz is at. And he is at the very back of the store, with him installing the battery in the life pod.
"Schwoz." Katy said.
"Oh hello." Schwoz said
"So, is the pod ready?" Nanachi asked.
"The pod has been ready I just need to put the battery in. Let's hope we got this working." Schwoz put the battery in and then unplugged the pod.
To everyone's relief, it is working.
"Seems like you did it. Now we can take it back with us to the Agency somewhere safe until the time for the Ritual comes." Laetitia said.
"Well hope we have some strong people as this is heavy and that's without Bose in it." Schwoz said.
Ringo then simply just made the pod float in midair. "It would be easier if I did this."
They then heard a stomach growl. Unfamiliar to them.
"What was that?" Emilico looks frightened.
"We are not alone." Kate Shadow then made a sword out of her soot and tried to locate where that sound was.
"Well this is just great here we are trying to get a simple job done and something is going to happen." Ray Manchester said.
Kate searches through the place, finding where that noise was. It isn't being heard now, but she isn't gonna leave it behind. She grabbed a chair with her soot telekinesis and she threw it at a table, almost breaking it. This caused a certain stuffed bear to be frightened. One with a red shirt.
"Oh bother. Oh hello there. I'm Winnie the Pooh. You by chance have any honey on you?"
"So you caused that?" Kate sighed, then made her soot sword disappear. "Kate does not. Kate is sorry. My name is Kate. And Kate is a Shadow."
"Oh well I guess you are. I think it was me my belly do loves do rumble grumble when it's hungry."
Kate sighed. "We thought it was something else. Sorry about that."
"What did you find?" Reg came to them. "Hello."
Winnie walked a few steep behind Kate. "Oh hello there do any of you have honey?"
Reg shook his head. "No. Don't say we do." "Wait a moment. I met him before. This one looks…different. Somehow…"
"Honey, does anybody say?" Milk just burst in with a jar of honey. "Call it coincidence. The author just planned this up."
"Well thank you mam." Winnie said as he walked to Milk.
"Here." Milk gives Winnie the jar of honey. "Hope it's to your liking."
"Oh I just love honey it's my favorite."
Milk nodded.
Riko and Katy came in. "So we found ourselves another one, huh?" Katy asked.
"Seems like it." Reg said.
"He is so cute." Riko said.
"So what is going on if I may ask?" Winnie said.
"Well, we were about to leave with our friend's lifepod, when we heard your stomach growling and all. Thought it might be you." Katy said.
"Oh."
"We're gonna head out now." Riko said.
Meanwhile, upfront, we see Petunia and Pinky still cleaning up the counters, until Ryoko Asakura, Cerebrum and some of the Lunarians come in.
The Amoeba Sisters saw this, and had their eyes widened. "Uh oh."
"Tell us where Bose is." Cerebrum said.
"Um, not telling you." Petunia said.
The Lunarians grab out their bows and arrows and have them pointed at the Amoeba Sisters.
"Don't tell us, and we'll kill you both." Ryoko transforms her hands into blades.
Meanwhile, at the back of the store, they heard a scream.
"What was that?!" Riko asked, looking alarmed.
"Nothing good I'm guessing." Zuri Ross said.
Emilico then goes to Winnie and grabs him. "We need to figure out what it is."
But then, some Lunarians came in, with bows and arrows ready to strike at them.
"Goddammit. Lunarians." Neptunite grabs out her sword and readies herself.
"But I'm just a small bear."
The Lunarians then attack.
Neptunite goes to protect them from the arrows that the Lunarians shot. "A little help here!"
"Got it." Laetitia grabs out an electric gun and shoots actual bullets at the Lunarians, killing some of them off.
"We need to get Bose out of here." Ringo said.
Miles Macklin took hold of one of the sides of the pod and lifted his other arm to teleport outside Junk in Stuff.
"Okay. That works." Ringo shrugged. "Looks like lifting up in midair is now useless then."
Back up front, Cerebrum sees this, then she walks outside to confront Miles. "Give me Bose, now." She grabs out dark cards.
Miles quickly attempts to teleport again with the pod when Cerebrum jumps onto the pod.
Cerebrum looks around. "Where did he go?"
Back inside, the Lunarians still attack the group.
"Bombs away." Milk throws some bombs at the Lunarians and they exploded, killing some of them off.
Paris
Back with Miles he looked around not seeing Cerebrum. He breathed a sigh of relief. Now he was debating to stay with the pod or go back to the fight.
"Who are you?" An unfamiliar voice asked.
"Oh um hi there I'm um Miles and you are?" Miles looking around not seeing anyone
A tiny ladybug-like being came to him.
This tiny ladybug-like being is red and has black spots on her head and has blue eyes and has two antennas. This is Tikki.
"My name is Tikki. And I am a Kwami to Ladybug."
Miles then sees Tikli on the pod. "Oh I see."
"What are you doing here?" Tikki asked.
"Oh well I did not plan to just show up here whatever here is. I just took my friend to safety." Miles said confused on how he got here as normally he is able to control where he ends up.
"Then you might need my help." A girl in a ladybug costume came to them.
This girl has shoulder-length black hair with blue reflections that is tied back in pigtails and bright blue eyes. Her ladybug costume consists of a red and black-spotted jumpsuit and red and black-spotted mask. This is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, aka the Miraculous Ladybug.
"I see you like red with black spots." Miles said.
"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later." Marinette said.
"We have to go help them." Tikki said.
"We might have to find a way to do that though." Marinette said.
"Help who?" Miles asked
"Your friends." Tikki said.
"You know about that?"
"Well, you said you got your friend to safety, meaning something might be terribly wrong. I can assume, anyway." Tikki said.
"Oh yeah that well just grab onto me and I will take you there. Also long story of my own."
Tikki got on Marinette, and Marinette held onto Miles. The three teleported back into the fight.
Swellville
Ringo saw this, and was shocked by the company. "What in the world?"
"Hey, it's Miraculous Ladybug. Where's Cat Noir? Your boyfriend?" Milk asked.
"You know about that?" Marinette asked.
"Long story short, I watched your show." Milk said.
Marinette shrugged. "Guess someone knows me, I guess."
"Seems odd." Tikki said.
Ryoko then came in. "Alright. This is getting me sick enough. Why don't you hand the boy over, and we will leave with no casualties."
"Sorry but my friend is not here and you will never find him." Miles said.
Ryoko then seemed pissed, then ran towards Miles, then got him surrounded by her blade hands while she pinned him to the wall. "Where did you put him?"
"Let him go!" Marinette grabs out her rope.
Ryoko turns to Marinette, with sadism in her face. "Oh, that won't do…" She then charges at Marinette and attacks her.
The two fought each other off, rope and blades.
Miles Watched on as Ryoko was fighting. If she did nor then Miles would use his ability to teleport this bad guy somewhere far away from here.
Marinette trips Ryoko with her rope, then she turns to the others. "Run!"
The team then ran for it, they ran out of the store, then they got to the van truck.
"Ooba, where's the pod?" Flandre asked.
"You have to ask three one in red. As I just teleported and this crazy world sent me where she's from." Miles said.
"Aw crap." Katy facefaulted. "Now what?"
"She's still fighting that evil school girl in there." Remon Yamano said.
"Sorry was thinking back to the base but something went wrong."
"Yeah, something went fucking wrong." Milk sighed in anger. "Now what?"
"Well, go back in there, and-" The older Phos was about to say, before Marinette came out of the store.
"She got away." Marinette said.
"Well let's hope I can go back and get Bose."
"Let me come with you." Ringo said. "I can lift the pod up with my ability easily enough."
"Ok then just hold on." Miles and Ringo soon disappeared but wasn't where Bose was instead in a school.
London
They soon heard screaming.
"Get back here Zipzer"
Miles and Ringo did not see who was screaming but they seen a boy in a school uniform running towards them as he was looking away. Before Miles and Ringo can teleport where Bose is the boy made contact just as the teleportation happen.
Paris
Miles breathed a sigh of relief to see the pod but then seen the boy was with them.
"Okay, who are you?" Ringo asks the boy.
"Um I'm Hank and wasn't I just inside the school hallway?"
"You were, but you're not anymore." Ringo confirmed. "Now we're in…" She is shocked at where they are. "Paris?"
"How do you know that?" Miles asked.
Ringo points at the Eiffel Tower that is miles away from them.
"I must of been busy talking to what's her name to notice." Miles said.
"Um I'm still confused how I got here." Hank said
"Long story short, this boy here can teleport anywhere." Ringo points at Miles. "We accidentally teleported to your school, and when you made contact with him, you got teleported along with us."
"Well ok it beats getting punished by Miss Adolf."
Ringo sighed. "Kids these days. Well, I am one, but kids these days." She then turns to the pod. "We're getting this out of here." She then used her ability to lift the pod a few feet off the ground.
"Woh guess you are like a superhero too." Hank said.
"Sort of. I am actually a robotic child in a sleek world." Ringo explains.
"Wow never seen an actual robot before." Hank then turns his head to the side and starts to talk to no one. "Ok things are getting strange I must of hit my head." Hank then turns back looking at the pod.
Back in the alternate Swellville, they were waiting for them to arrive, until they did, but they brought Hank with them.
Swellville
"Aw geez, what do we got here? Hank Zipzer?" Milk asked.
"Um yeah I am how would you even know that?"
"You have a book series. I read them. Only once. Never read them twice." Milk said.
"So you are from the future and I have written these books about my life? Weird I thought I be doing something else and that my…..um yeah ok."
"Let me guess. They accidentally brought you here." Katy rolled her eyes. "That's just great."
"Now I really must hit my head and I'm in the nurse's office."
"Well, you're wrong on that. This is real. As real as it can be." Chito said.
"Indeed." Kate nodded.
Hank could just nod.
"We might wanna get out of here, before something else comes at us." Neptunite said.
"That is an idea. Cause, I literally think we faced enough for one day." The older Phos said.
But then, a little pig came to them. Frantically looking for someone.
"Oh there you are Pooh I was looking all over for you and I was just scared as I looked around." Piglet said as he got closer to his friend.
"Oh Piglet I always tell you that it's OK to be scared but also to try to be brave as well." Pooh said.
And after that, unfortunately, there was also a donkey coming to them as well. But the donkey was actually followed by Reiko Ikeda and the Deletion Council.
"Who are they?!" Reg points his hand at the Deletion Council, ready to fire.
"Don't worry about me *sigh* it's ok if you don't I be just over here." Eeyore said as he slowly walked away.
"Where is the Long Sword?" Reiko asked. "I know you have it. Me and the Deletion Council want it. Where is it?"
"What the fuck?" Milk turns to Swift. "How does she know it was you?"
"They are the one who caught me before I got away. And why would the council want the sword?"
Nanachi realizes this. "The Deletion Council."
"I'm assuming Kim Grey sent you, am I right?" Riko asked the Council.
"You be wrong on that. We came here to make sure things are in balance. Miss Gray beleave she is doing just that." The council said.
Riko makes an odd face. "Wait a moment. Then is Grey lying then?"
"Who's Grey?" Sonanta asked.
"She's an evil principal, who turns out to actually be a bunch of DNA bugs." The older Phos said.
"We're here for the sword because of Bose. They believe that Bose can bring balance to the war." Reiko said.
Katy thinks about this. "What are we missing here?"
"You got me." Paiman said.
"We can't give you why your Bose puts things in the balance between good and evil. Not that we don't know but that we can't." The conceal said.
Reg thinks about this. "You want Bose for a reason. You're after him for a reason."
"If you mean to be our prisoner so we can use him then you be mistaken. We just need him alive and free." The Council said.
Katy thinks for a moment. "I'm confused. Swift told us that you were the enemy and that he is preparing his son, Jeramy, for the war to come to protect his planet from you. But since you seem different then what Swift described…then who's the actual threat to the Blobs then?"
"Well it is true in a way but we have our reasons on what we need. A boy named Westley spaird the planet Earth. Which means all forms of it."
"Westley?" Reg asked.
"Yes he showed us why earth can't be destroyed."
Riko looks defensive. "You were wanting to destroy Earth to begin with?"
"Riko. Calm down. It looks like they are not looking for trouble." Nanachi said.
Riko then did as Nanachi told her.
"Now can we just get back and bring Bose back to life." Chapa said.
Reiko sighed. "I knew it. You do have it. To be honest, I doubt it was you guys, but, now that I noticed, it seems like you took the sword. You're gonna perform the Ritual, aren't you? Not easy. You need to find the items first before you get the Ritual performed. First thing you found so far is just the Long Sword and that's about it. There are more items than that."
"That I already know. You might tell the Council about this." Katy said.
"Oh I already told them, so they already knew." Reiko said.
"Indeed you did but even though we want Bose alive we can't get involved in anyway to make it happen." The council said.
"I get it. They're Watchers. Observers." Hoihoi-san said. "Even Watchers don't get involved."
"Can you think of one Watcher?" Milk asked.
"Uatu." Hoihoi-san said. "He does not, cannot, and will not interfere. I'm thinking that's what this Deletion Council does too."
"So what's next on this list?" Schwoz asked.
"Apparently coins." Katy said.
"Specific type of coins?" Milk asked.
"Maybe." Katy said. "Suzu is such a confusing person when it comes to what coins we need to use for the Ritual."
"Here is a interesting thought. Would Bose still has his power. Not that if he don't I want him to be dead..ouch!" Ray said after getting shock.
"Okay, found it. Silver coins." Katy said.
"Silver coins, ah-ha! Funny." Milk then turns to Ray. "Sorry for ignoring you. Let's just hope he still has his powers. As…why would he not?"
"She got a point." Reg said.
"Well we where not born with them." Mika said.
"Fair point." Nanachi nodded.
Mikochi looks worried.
"What's bothering you?" Asahi Hinagiri asked.
"I wonder if Hakumei is okay. I mean, she's out there now, trying to find a way to get Diamond back, while infiltrating…whoever this Mind guy is." Mikochi said.
"Well, like Fisher says, wait a while, give us the message…through a different type of method, then we'll be good." The older Phos said.
"Well let's find these coins." Arc said.
Everyone nodded.
Unknown World
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Hakumei, who is in a brown helmet with goggles, brown jumpsuit, brown gloves and brown boots, is trying to see where the entrance is. "Oh great. How does this Trojan Horse thing work? I should have asked Fisher this first before I did anything to do this." She sighed. She then runs into a purple blob that is like Jeramy and Swift. This is Dranis, who is Jeramy's sister. As Hakumei takes it, Dranis might be one of Mister Mind's associates. She takes a deep breath. "Just act like you're one of them." She then goes up to Dranis. "Excuse me?"
"Oh hello there how can I help you?"
"I was supposed to meet your boss, but I'm having a hard time finding the entrance. Can you show me where that's at?" Hakumei said, trying to act like one of them.
"Well that's the point as we move it every day for those good guys that decided to show up. So follow me."
Hakumei follows Dranis. "Good. It seems like she doesn't notice yet. That's good. But, something with her isn't right though. Did she actually notice me right off? Did the Trojan Horse plan fail?" She kept following Dranis, until they reached the entrance. They then went inside, then they saw the green worm himself: Mister Mind.
"Hello boss we have another member to join us." Dranis said.
"Mwahahahaha." Mind then turns around to see Dranis and Hakumei. "Excellent." He then crawls to Hakumei. "Hmm. You seem to be about my size. Pretty impressive. What are you?"
"I am actually an assassin. Killed many people back then." Hakumei told a lie.
"Hmm. An assassin. You might be useful then. Now, let me introduce you to the members of this society. You already met Dranis here, Jeramy's sister, as I recall. Now, let me introduce you to more." Mind then shows Hakumei the other members, who are the rabbit named Dr. Colosso, Diamond and shockingly enough, Amos Slade, aka Deathstroke.
"Well when I joined I thought for sure they be able to turn me back to my human self." Dr. Colosso said.
Deathstroke nodded. "I see."
"That is literally odd, but you might get it soon." Diamond said. It is still apparent that she is still missing an eye, a part of her hair and an arm.
"Well then can I offer you some cookies and milk? We may be evil but we do love our snacks." Dranis asked.
"I don't actually have a digestive system. I am made out of gem. I am sorry." Diamond said.
"I was asking our new guest."
"I should have thought so." Diamond nodded.
"Well, I guess I can take some." Hakumei said.
"Follow me to our nice cafeteria. It has all sorts of cookies and different milk options." Dr. Colosso said.
Hakumei nodded, then she followed Dr. Colosso to the cafeteria.
Deathstroke sighed. "What's the plan, boss?"
"Mwahahahaha. Well, I have retrieved an egg to a species known as the Last Elemental. I am planning to unleash the Last Elemental onto the Earth and cleanse it once and for all. I wonder where I'll start. I'll come up with something." Mind said.
"Well it's a good thing we have another member for our cause as we been lost a good amount of members one way or another." Dranis said.
"Oh, don't you worry, Dranis. No one's gonna lose this time. We're not gonna lose to them. Even the Meta-Verse Department Agency that the Nazis seem to be losing to them a lot. Mwahahahaha." Mind said.
Matrix
Meanwhile, back inside the Matrix, we see Andi Mack, Cat Valentine, Sam Puckett, Lexi Reed and the others following Scarlet Witch and Vuk to…somewhere.
"So this is fun so far." Cat said.
"We have been here for a while, and we know the exit." Vuk said.
"Where's the exit?" Rumi Tsurumi asked.
"Still a good miles away." Scarlet Witch said.
"Can we like you know sit down? As if I knew I be walking this much I wouldn't have put on these nice shoes." Lexi said.
"If you must." Scarlet Witch said.
"Finally." Fly flew down to Mocchi and sat on his head.
"Mocchi is confused by all this. Mocchi has never been to these types of places at all, chi."
"Well we haven't either." Sam said
"I've been to cities before. But not this one." Rumi said.
"So what are we going to do?" Andi asked.
Scarlet Witch then turns to them. "Are you done resting? You wanna move on?"
"It's only been like I don't know a minute." Lexi said.
Scarlet Witch shrugged. "Then rest more." She then turns to the sky.
Mocchi whispers into Lexi's ear. "Do you think we should trust them, chi?"
"How would I know?" Lexi asked
Mocchi just looks at Scarlet Witch, then whispers back to Lexi. "Because something about her isn't right, chi."
"Oh her I thought you meant everyone. As for her I still have no idea. I don't know anyone here. Including you."
Mocchi nodded. "Mocchi's a monster, chi. Mocchi's been compared to a rice ball cake, chi. More because when Mocchi rolls into a ball, Mocchi looks like a rice ball cake, chi."
"Well we should just keep going as maybe we will find help." Sam said.
Scarlet Witch turns to them again. "Just make up your mind already. Rest or go. I am getting sick and tired of bouncing to rest, but go, but rest, but go. Make up your mind." She said, coldly. She does look annoyed.
"Fine let's go." Lexi said as she stood up.
"Thank you." Scarlet Witch just stares at the group, coldly, then turns to Vuk. "We're going now."
Vuk nodded. "Then let us go."
The team then goes to find an exit to the Matrix.
Unknown World
Meanwhile, back with the Agents, they're on the search for silver coins for the Ritual. Milk was busy giving Copper and Tod a taste of Coca Cola, and so did Dumbo, since she hadn't even given the elephant a taste of Cola before.
"So, we need to find the coins. Now, where would those be?" Katy asked.
"Maybe someone stole them and used them for riches." Milk assumes.
"Well is there like I don't know like a magical way to find the coins or maybe even a map?" Gabby Duran said.
"Wait coins? I have coins." Hank said.
"Are they silver?" Katy asked.
"I think as arnt most of them are?" Hank then puts his hand into his pocket to pull out a few coins including a button for clothes.
"Not all coins are. There are gold coins, and there are bronze coins." Paiman points out.
"And there are red, blue, green and yellow ones, too." Milk said.
"Um, those don't exist." Paiman said.
"What if there is a world where there are actually red, blue, green and yellow coins? What then?" Milk asked.
"I wouldn't believe my own eyes." Paiman said.
"Okay, so, we have…silver coins I guess. It does say we need to find gold, though." Katy said.
"Gold? Why the hell do we need gold for the Ritual?" Milk asked, confused.
"Your confuses? Then what am I as this whole thing is getting confusing between coins and now a ritual?" Hank said
"It is known as the Taizan Fukun Ritual. This ritual is one that can resurrect or reincarnate a soul. If the user does it incorrectly, the user faces horrible consequences, most notably death." Mikochi explains to Hank.
"So guessing its for the guy in the weird box."
"It's a pod." Katy said. "You don't come from the modern day, do you? Future, you know?"
Hank just nodded.
"I'm thinking Zipzer is from the 1970s or something. Or I could be wrong. Or, everything does not explain years anyways." Milk said. "Like some stuff always does."
"If you must know I'm from twenty fourteen."
Milk is in shock. "Okay, why didn't you…oh wait, you're from London. Never mind."
"London. I live there. Somewhat." Emilico said.
"Um yeah but what does that have to do with it?"
"Oh, because you don't know the pod. Our bad." Milk then spelt the soda onto Eeyore, who had joined the search after that talk with the Deletion Council. "Oops. I am so sorry, Eeyore. You look soggy now."
"It is *sigh* alright I just stay wet."
"Naa. It's almost like he doesn't have a care in the world." Nanachi said.
"You think so?" The older Phos asked.
"How he acts right now." Nanachi said.
The older Phos nodded.
Flandre then sees a weird light outside. "What in the…?"
Everyone then sees the weird light as well outside the van truck.
"I'm guessing this is like normal?" Hank asked "And Eeyore is just always sad is all.
The light then reveals itself to be the Three Prophets.
"Oh shit. It's them." The older Phos grabs out her sword.
"You should know that we have more to gain than this." The Prophet of Mercy said. "We killed off Dr. Martin Brenner, because he is just no use to us."
"So what brings you here then?" Ray asked.
"Oh, you know why. For you." The Prophet of Truth points at Ray. "You are to be a God to us. A new Prophet. Prophet of Destruction."
Everyone then gets out of the van to face the Three Prophets.
"A God you say, but destruction really, not the God of good-looking?"
"SILENCE!" The Prophet of Truth snapped. "You don't get the right to call yourself what you are. We have the right to call you what you are."
"I think you're damned sick." Nanachi said.
"Really? The prophecy has to unfold." The Prophet of Truth opens up his hands. "The prophecy is what we are made for, after all."
"Things can change though." Fritz said.
"You dare mock the prophecy?!" The Prophet of Truth gets angered, then lifts Fritz in the air. "No one mocks the prophecy. The prophecy is what it is. And it will go according to what the prophecy says."
Fritz then hits a button which sprays foam on the Prophet of Truth.
The Prophet of Truth's eyes widened, then he got covered by foam, to which Fritz was out of his grip.
"You will be sorry." The Prophet of Regret then revealed that he had Lil' Dynamite in gunshot when they arrived at the team.
"Whoa, hold on. What's the sudden revelation?" Milk asked.
"Apparently, he doesn't seem to cooperate with us, killing people off is not his job, and so, we have to annihilate him for disobeying our orders." The Prophet of Regret then turns to Lil' Dynamite. "Any last words before we have to kill you?"
"Um yes if you can do me all a favor before you kill me." Lil Dynamite said.
The Three Prophets just looked at Lil' Dynamite.
"And what will that be?" The Prophet of Mercy asked.
"If you can hold these for me but whatever you do, don't press the nice shiny red button no matter how tempting it may be." Lil Dynamite holing out three objects.
The Prophet of Truth flew to Lil' Dynamite and held him in the neck. "No tricks." He said, coldly. "Do that again, and I will actually let those eyes bleed first. Because we know better than that."
While they were distracted, they were being sprayed, to which they covered their eyes.
"Who in the hell did that?!" The Prophet of Regret is still covering his eyes, with them being watery now. This saved Lil' Dynamite from being killed by the Three Prophets.
Everyone looked around to see what caused it. Then seen Flower jump off from a near by tree by the Prophets. Lil Dynamite just coughed while rubbing his neck.
"You incests! You are all disgraces!" The Prophet of Truth then used his ability to actually move the ground. Some ground stalactites came out of the ground, trapping Flower in it.
"Well look who thinks they are all tough picking on animals and kids." Ray said.
"You will be destroyed! The prophecy foretells of it!" The Prophet of Truth is still rubbing his eyes from the fumes.
Riko then goes to help Flower out of the stalactites, to which she uses a sickle instead of her Blaze Reap to get him out.
"Well I been told I was going to die but yet I'm still alive." Fisher said.
"Just be glad you are still alive." Hakua Shiodome kisses Fisher on the cheek, then she goes to stop the Three Prophets while they are being distracted rubbing their eyes from the fumes.
Fisher knew he was born premature and wasn't going to make it but the prophecy was wrong and the doctors couldn't explain how he survived.
Hakua then transforms her suit into two metal gauntlets, two metal boots and a bikini and she has an ice sword, and she goes to attack the Three Prophets.
The other ones with powers and fighting skills joined the fight.
The Three Prophets combined their powers and they made a powerful light, pushing them all off to the side.
"We will be back." The Prophet of Truth sneered.
They then disappear.
Riko was hugging Flower. "Thanks."
"Your welcome." Flower said.
Reg sighed in relief. "Those Prophets will still be out there."
Hakua nodded, then she turned to Lil' Dynamite. "Welcome to the team."
"Thank you. I wasn't always bad though."
Hakua nodded, then she smiled. "I think I always knew that." She approaches Lil' Dynamite. "Because those eyes of yours say that you ain't bad at all."
"Um is it me or do those two look alike?" Hank asked.
Milk rolled her eyes. "I knew that was gonna pop up yet again." She nodded. "Yes, they do look alike. Actually, they share the same actor, apparently."
"So there is even an actor who looks like them. That's cool." Hank said not understanding that he himself is also is played by someone.
Riko sighed. "I say we should be careful now. We search for gold, wherever that will be."
"Maybe we can find it where a dragon might have some." Milk suggested.
"Well don't look at me even if I can turn into one." Mal said.
"Maybe we can give Smaug a little visit." Milk said.
"Not sure who that is but ok." Mall said.
"Okay, looks like you have not seen The Hobbit yet. Or even The Lord of the Rings, to which Smaug is only in The Hobbit." Milk said.
"Well I am not much of a reader unless it's spells." Mal said.
"Spellbooks. You should meet Bo Dennis sometimes. She's a succubus and she does some supernatural research, including reading spellbooks. You two should get along sometime." Milk said.
"Well then maybe we will."
Riko still held Flower. "Well, if we do run into another dragon, to which we might, then we might as well actually be careful. Because dragons do sound scary. No offense, Mal. You're not a bad dragon. But, there are bad dragons out there."
Mal just nodded as she then looked out in the distance.
"So, we go dragon hunting, then?" Katy asked.
"Looks like it." Milk said.
Katy sighed. "Never wanna face another dragon." She nodded. "Okay then. Let's go find ourselves a dragon and…steal its gold, I guess."
"Hope we don't run into any leprechauns." Hank said.
"Hopefully not the leprechaun from the horror movie Leprechaun. That dude is fucking scary." Milk said.
A leprechaun then app…na, just kidding.
"Thanks, author." Milk just talked to no one in particular.
"I think the little girl is a bit sleepy she's talking to no one." Hank said.
"I do that at times too. I talk to the readers at home." Raggedy Ann said.
"Can we stay on topic?" Paiman looked annoyed, then sighed. "Anyways. If we wanna find a dragon, we might as well do it now."
But before that, a note flew to them.
Mikochi grabs it, then she looks at the note. "It's from Hakumei."
"What does it say?" Riko asked.
"Well, it said that she's in, waiting for us to come. She also saw that there is another blob-like alien." Mikochi then looks at the team. "She said it's a purple blob."
Katy then turns to Swift and Jeramy. "Who is this purple blob?"
"Well that will be my sister evil sister that is."
"You have a sister?" Reg asked in shock.
"Yeah and as I said she's just evil."
"I agree on that for sure. She wanted the power and there has been a few times that she caused chaos making Jarmey look bad more than normal." Swift said
Nanachi thinks for a moment. "This must mean that your sister is working for this Mister Mind guy."
"So, do we break in and get Diamond then?" Reg asked.
"Well, if the second part of the Trojan Horse is to break in there, then yeah, I think we should." Milk said.
"Well the Trojan was more to trick your enemy with a gift and attack within the inside." Fisher said.
"Wait, you mean we're just gonna wait here until Hakumei gets Diamond? All alone?" Mikochi asked, looking quite worried now.
"Well not exactly. She needs to destroy the place from the inside before saving Dimond like make things not working and such. Well that's the plan unless things have changed." Fritz said.
"Well, she did send us the note earlier than expected, saying she got in. But not much else." Emilico said.
"We might wanna send her a message saying all this. Without anybody noticing we sent the message to her. Because she might have no idea what she's doing at the moment." Katy said.
"I already told her the plan so she knows but I did say don't rush it and wait until a new member or a member that is not liking how things are going so that person takes the blame for it." Fisher said. "So let's hope she remembers."
"Mister Mind knows so much so well. He knows who to blame. The real suspect. Because Mind is smart that way." Milk said.
"Not if he is to focus on something else. But we can some how plant a bug at the main place where plans are being made." Fritz said.
Milk shrugged. "Guess that works."
Mikochi sighed. "Alright then. Let's hope it works then."
Meanwhile, in Mind's organization, we see two imprisoned beings being trapped in a cage. One a tiger, and one a rabbit. Dr. Colosso came into the prison to see the tiger and rabbit.
"I don't know why we are here for we are just minding ourselves you see." Tigger said.
"That is absolutely right I was just gathering carrots from my garden is all. Surely you can understand as a fellow rabbit yourself." Rabbit said.
"You are wrong on that as I may look like a rabbit but I'm no rabbit I'm just stuck as one." Dr Colosso said
"Is there anyone else we can talk to then as certainly there is a mistake on why we are even here." Tigger said.
"Mwahahahaha." Mister Mind came crawling to them. "The reason why you're here is because I take hostages, no matter what they're doing." He then shows them a green egg. "The egg of the Last Elemental. Once I hatch this egg, this monster will grow and grow, and it will destroy everything in its path. Including all of you. Well then, doesn't that sound pleasant? Mwahahahaha."
"If this egg destroys things won't it destroy you too?" Rabbit asked.
"Oh, I wouldn't be there for the destruction of your miserable planet. I will be somewhere else in the galaxy, watching this creature destroy everything." Mister Mind snickered. He was about to leave, but then saw Hakumei come in. "Oh, our newcomer. Wanting to check in with them?"
"Curious." Hakumei said.
"I see." Mister Mind turns to Dr. Colosso. "Come, Colosso. I'll need you with something."
"Before you go how sure are you that this thing won't grow big enough to destroy you too? If it keeps growing it can reach you. So what's the point of this egg really?" Rabbit said.
"Oh you don't know the Last Elemental. It is a creature of the forest, you see. This Elemental takes the form of a Forest Guardian. Yes. But, it will become hostile to destroy you all. And when this egg hatches, it will grow big enough to bring down skyscrapers to the ground. Even kingdoms. It's not gonna grow forever. It'll stop growing eventually." Mister Mind then crawls out of the prison. "Are you coming, Colosso?"
"Just a sec." Cloosso then looks at Rabbit "You by chance don't have any carrots on you do you?"
"Well no I don't."
Colosso sighed and hopped along to catch up to the boss.
Once they are gone, Hakumei takes off her brown helmet and looks up at Tigger and Rabbit. "I'm gonna get you guys out of here."
"But why would you do that?" Rabbit asked
"Obviously it may be a trick of corse or she is going to take us where we could eat?" Tigger said.
"I am from an organization known as Meta-Verse. We're a good agency, I promise. I'm just acting like one of those guys right now so I won't get caught." Hakumei then puts back on her brown helmet.
"Well then if you are pretending we have no choice but to stay inside so you don't get in trouble just in case that worm comes back. To bad wisey did not get sent here I'm sure he will teach that worm a lesson." Tigger said.
"Just stay tight, and I'll come back." Hakumei then walks out of the prison, she looks around, trying to see if anyone had heard that, but, to her relief, no one heard that conversation. She sighed in relief. "I do wonder if they ever got that message I sent them. Now, to find a way to tear this place down somehow." She then wanders into where she might be going.
Meanwhile, Mister Mind and Dr. Colosso was going to see how to hatch the green egg. Dranis is watching them, but then she sees Henry Creel come to them.
"So why did you take Tigger and Rabbit?" Henry asked.
"Oh, because I thought having them as hostages would be satisfying." Mister Mind then turns to Creel. "I guess you're here because of your plans for Project Phoenix."
"Well I don't think those prisoners are going to help. So where are we on getting the boy?"
"Ah. The boy." Mister Mind crawls to the side of a table where the egg is. "So it seems one of my associates, Diamond, has failed. So you ain't getting anywhere with the boy, huh?"
Creel just nodded "his power is something I never seen before. Something that is made out of wood comes to life."
"And you told me you wanted that magic to bring war machines to life." Mister Mind nodded.
"That is true but you know how it is there is so many new members you just have to repeat the same plan over and over again. Now the only problem besides not having the wooden boy is how to take that magic away from it? Or is it a him?"
"Magic never has a gender at all, Creel. Magic never has any sense of feelings or thoughts. Magic is just power. Magic is almost everything. Even the unimaginable. How to take away that magic from the boy, if that's what you're planning…how would that work, Mr. Creel? Or, do you not have an idea? Logically, no one has an idea on how to take that magic from him." Mister Mind said.
"Well I was taking about the puppet itself not the magic but yes I not sure how to transfer the magic from the puppet to my toys."
"Oh, sooner or later, plans will come into effect." Mister Mind said.
Hakumei sneakily came to them, but she was not noticed by them. She spotted Creel, being too busy talking to Mister Mind. "Creel. Something tells me this isn't gonna be easy." She then walks away from them.
"So, Creel. I'll send Diamond again to retrieve the boy once again. Besides, she does have the powers of the Upside Down, after all." Mister Mind said.
"True but that's not going to help much. I have to say being evil is hard at times. Now let's hope she doesn't mess up again or I make sure she can't be put back together again."
"Deal." Mister Mind said.
Back with the search group, instead of going to where Hakumei at, they're actually looking for gold instead.
"Okay. Here's the plan, if we wanna get some gold, we need to go to a cave and find some gold there. There will be a dragon there." Milk said.
"I'm gonna stop you right there. How would you know if there is a dragon there?" Katy asked.
"Because gold is always protected by dragons. And so as treasures too, but they count as gold too." Milk said.
"There weren't any dragons during the gold rush." Freddy Huerta said.
Milk just blinked. "Okay fine, whatever. But, dragons, okay?"
"Let's just hope this plan of yours doesn't get us killed." The older Phos said.
"Well, knowing her, we might get killed." Cal Devens said.
"Um if you don't mind I would like to live do I'm going to stay in the van." Hank said.
"You can stay with Riley, since she wants to live too." The younger Phos said.
"Um is this normal?" Hank looking at Riley.
"Yeah since I got here. What's not though is having a nice calming day. Those only happen twice since I been here and I been here for a long time." Riley said.
"Well, four times, you mean. There's the camp, there's that random day, then the mall, then we went up into space." Ann counted the days that were nice and calming.
"You went to space?" Hank said
"Yeah but that wasn't calming as something went wrong." Riley said.
"She did get a point." Katy said.
"I never trusted that doctor so much. We always get into situations where we get stuck in space. Well, not always. We have been through this twice now. Well, except for some newcomers, who just experienced it once." Reg said.
"Well I want to say something but I don't want to jinx us." Hank said.
"Ooba. Well jinx on this. We're actually at a cave." Flandre stops at the entrance of a big cave.
"Well good luck." Riley said.
"We might need it." Riko said.
The gang who are going into the cave are the older Phos, the younger Phos, Heliodor, Riko, Katy, Paiman, Emilico, Kate, Milk, Ringo, Cal, Fritz, Arc, Ciara, Dumbo and Pooh and they go inside the big dark cave.
Riko turns on the light on her hat and they traverse the cave.
"I can't count how many times I walked into a cave." Arc said.
"Caves can be spooky at times." Ringo said. "I don't think I've ever been in one before."
"Keep your eyes peeled for anything that might come at us." Kate said.
"Also there could be just something simple like bugs." Ciara said.
"Not just bugs. Spiders as well." Katy said. "Even there are some good sized ones that are bigger than a human."
"Why did you have to say that?" Pooh asked
"Because spiders live in caves as well, you know?" Katy points out.
"I think he meant saying bigger then human part."Ciera said.
"Oh well…" Katy shrugged. "There is actually such a thing as that. Sadly."
"That's what your Dungeons and Dragons bestiaries look like these days." Milk said. "Always giant spiders."
They then saw gold right in front of them when they reached a certain point in the cave.
"Um we should look for some kind of trap if we do take this nothing will happen." Fritz said.
Riko nodded. She then decided to take some of the gold in. She grabs out a bag and brings some gold into it. But, a giant dragon emerges from the sea of gold.
"Uh oh." Emilico looks frightened.
"It sensed us, did it?" Kate assumes.
"Maybe it's a friendly dragon."Dumbo said.
The dragon then walks towards them. "Thieves. I don't allow thieves in this cave."
"Would it be different if we need this to help a friend?" Dumbo asked.
The dragon had its face close to Dumbo. "For what purpose? At what cost?"
"So he can live. It's some kind of spell we need a bit of gold. You can have the rest we just need a few pieces." Dumbo said.
The dragon looked at Dumbo for a moment, then sighed. "Fine. Take some of the gold if you want. To save a life." The dragon then walks away from them.
"I do have a question for you." Katy said.
The dragon turns around. "And what's that?"
"Do you know of a dragon named Grima?" Katy asked.
The dragon's eyes widened. "Do not mess around with Grima. He is the terror of all. He is like Smaug, but only worse. His wings are destruction and despair. He is the breath of darkness. Do not ever think of getting yourselves involved with that dragon."
Katy sighed. "We dealt with him once. Well, not some that are new here, but you know."
The dragon sighed. "If you ever see him, you might want to run. Otherwise, you'll die." The dragon then buries itself in gold and sleeps again.
Riko goes back to getting some more gold.
"Wow. I did not know you had that kind of bravery in you." Emilico said to Dumbo.
"You just have to be friendly as they may be friendly too given the chance."
Emilico nodded. She didn't even think of that before. She always had tried that with other people before, but not something that she assumed might endanger them, but turns out not to endanger them. But, it could be good advice.
Riko then zips up the bag and she carries it. "We came here for what we need. Now, we can go on."
"Hmm. I didn't realize that the dragon might be an ass now." Milk said.
The dragon just snorted.
"Alright, fine." Milk had her hands up. "I will shut up now."
"If we have any left we will bring it back." Ciera said.
"That is an idea." Riko said.
"Let's go mozy on out of here." Milk said.
They then go out of the cave.
The team saw the search team come back.
"How was it?" Hugtan asked.
"That wasn't that hard. The dragon was kind of nice to give us some gold, even though it thought we were thieves at first, but Dumbo here got it to compromise with us." Riko said.
"That for sure is good as I really did not want to turn into a dragon." Mal said.
Katy nodded. "We sure got it to do just that. So now we have gold apparently."
"What now?" Reg asked.
Katy thinks for a moment. "We might head back to base. As we don't know where the other stuff may be."
Emilico nodded. "Let's just hope we track some of this stuff down sooner than later."
"Don't worry. We will." Ann said.
"Are we going back to base to put the gold away or are we going forward to the next thing?" Spyder asked.
"We're actually going back to base to put the gold away." Katy said.
"Smart as we don't want me gold to be taken." Zack Martin said as he did his best leprechaun impression from the movies.
"You're an ass." Milk said.
"Takes one to know one." Zack said.
"Now children." Chyna Parks said
Milk shrugged. "Oh well. We're all the same."
"Apparently not." Kate said.
Meanwhile, back with Hakumei, she did go to Diamond. "Hey there."
Diamond looks down to see Hakumei. "I notice who you are."
"Look, we need you back." Hakumei said.
"Why? Mister Mind has some things for me, and I am just thinking it be best-"
"Henry Creel is actually the one with the project."
Diamond's eye widened. "What? Mind didn't tell me this."
"Well, he did a good one on that."
Diamond looks at the ground for a moment, then sighed. Her colors return to normal, meaning that she is out of Mister Mind's control. "Alright. I'm back."
"Good. Now, let's make a run for it." Hakumei then throws a bomb inside the room.
Diamond gets up, holds Hakumei in her hand, then runs for it.
With Dranis, Colosso, Mind and Creel, they heard an explosion from a different room.
"I hope that was not my soup." Dr. Colsso said.
Mind then realizes. "I think we had a spy all this time without us knowing it."
"I hardly doubt that as I would know if we had a spy." Creel said "it may be one of our inventions being worked on."
"I think we all should go to find out though." Dranis said.
"Deathstroke. Come with us." Mind said.
Deathstroke approaches them. "Yes, sir."
Meanwhile, Diamond and Hakumei were running towards an exit. They did pass the prison.
"Oh crap! I forgot something!" Hakumei said.
Diamond stopped. She noticed what she must have forgotten. She backtracks herself and she goes to the prison, where Tigger and Rabbit were still being kept.
"What was that very loud bag?" Rabbit asked.
"I threw a bomb inside one of the rooms. Hopefully I exploded more than just that room, though." Hakumei said.
"Now to get you out of here." Diamond then places her hand on a bar, then the bar shakes violently. Afterwards, the bars break along with the bar the gem person was holding, freeing Tigger and Rabbit.
"Oh my well you look at that." Tigger said as he soon got out and stared to jump with his tail. "That feels so much better."
"We better get out of here." Diamond said.
"I'm afraid not."
They turn to the entrance to see Mind, Creel, Deathstroke, Dranis and Colosso blocking the entrance to the prison.
"You are a disgrace of your kind fellow rabbit." Rabbit said.
"Again I'm not an actual rabbit." Dr. Colosso said.
"Oh, Diamond, Diamond. Do you think you can get out of my mind control that easily?" Mind asked.
"I don't like being controlled. That's not my nature. I'm kind-hearted, not cold-blooded." Diamond said.
"Mwahahahaha. Again, you seem very reluctant. I chose you because I saw you as a benefit for myself, of course. And for Creel." Mind said.
"I'm not working for Creel under my watch." Diamond then gets out her sword and throws it to Creel.
Creel manages to catch it. "Never had a Crystal sword before or any sword really."
Diamond's eye widened.
"Oh crap." Hakumei said.
"Oh, and you. You were the spy. Who were you working for, hmm? The Meta-Verse Department Agency? That agency needs to be torn down to pieces." Mind said.
"Like hell it will." Hakumei looks determined.
"Mwahahahaha. Well, you're in for some big trouble now." Mind turns to Creel. "Why don't you introduce yourself, Vecna?"
"Wait, what?" Diamond asked, looking shocked.
"Vecna? Interesting name for me. So we giving each other code names a bit late I see. Well here is what's going to happen Dranis is going to take your place spy and will tell your friends she failed as you and you just mange to escape while you be prisoner along with Diamond now. So how are you going to stop that?"
"With this, of course!"
A blast hits Creel in the back.
"What the-?" Deathstroke grabs out his swords.
A girl then came to them.
Creel seen the sword broke and went to get up to see who hit him.
"Who are you?" Diamond asked.
This girl has bright hot pink hair that reaches to her thighs with a large sphere at the bottom of each tail held with pale pink rings and golden stars and hot pink eyes. She wears a pink sleeveless dress, white fluffy handcuffs, a pink thigh-sock on her right leg and pink boots. This is Hikaru Hoshina, aka Cure Star.
"I am Cure Star, and I've been told by Yuni you guys were here. I'm gonna get you out of here."
Diamond and Hakumei both nodded, then they turned to Tigger and Rabbit. "We might get on out of here then."
"Are you sure or someone will stop us again?" Rabbit asked.
"Let's hope no one stops us from escaping this place." Hakumei said.
"Oh, it seems very, very difficult." Mind then turns to Creel. "Hmm…"
After getting hit Creel was feeling strange and started to burn as he screams in pain. The others watch on as Creel is just getting burned but there is no fire anywhere on his body. They did not know to stop this or let Creel burn. As he continued to burn his body was changing that don't match being burned. Creel soon stood up now transformed to the monster who lives in the Upside Down Vicna.
Diamond's eye widened. "Vecna…"
"I knew it was him. Laetitia was right on him." Hakumei said.
Cure Star readies her wand. "I'm not gonna let you hurt innocent people."
"You can't stop me." Vecna raised his hand as Cure Star rises. "I like this new voice of mine."
Diamond wastes no time as she lets Tigger hold Hakumei and she runs towards Vecna and charges at him. She grabbed Vecna with only one hand and forced him to the ground, freeing Cure Star.
"Interesting strength you got there. It is not to late to join us."
Diamond looks mad. "Never." She then starts punching Vecna in the face.
Deathstroke starts attacking Cure Star with his katanas.
"Star Punch!" Cure Star throws a star at Deathstroke, throwing him at Dranis.
"Watch it dude." Dranis said as she tried to get away before being squshed. Dranis did her best to get from under him but there is a part of her still stuck behind him.
Deathstroke gets up and he charges at Cure Star again.
Diamond is still punching Vecna, but found that he isn't getting a scratch. "Oh come on. What are you even made of?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Veckna said not knowing himself.
"Get everyone out of here. We can deal with this ourselves." A white fairy Mascot came to them and she shot out a powerful blast at the villains, except for Vecna.
This fairy mascot is fluffy and is white and has pale blue eyes that have light blue accents and gold stars and has big round ears that are blue and pink with a gold ring surrounding each of them and the tip of her tail is a yellow star. This is Fuwa.
Diamond looks at Vecna, then gets up, then runs towards Hakumei, Tigger and Rabbit. "Let's go!"
Vecna changes at Diamond on hoping to get her and the others.
"Oh boy." Fuwa then transforms into a unicorn, then charges at Vecna.
Veckna just got back up and turned around only to get tackled again. His body soon flew and went over a railing falling three floors down.
Fuwa looks down. "What the-?"
"Guys, run!" Cure Star said.
Diamond and her friends did not hesitate to get out. They successfully did.
"Oh that's just great. You made them get away. Mwahahahaha. But you two ain't going anywhere." Mind then grabs out a laser gun and shoots at Cure Star, to which got her injured.
"Cure Star!" Fuwa goes to Cure Star, then she turns to the villains, looking mad.
Meanwhile, Diamond and her friends are running from the battle. They then reached the bottom floor and saw that Vecna was gone.
"Wait a moment, wasn't he here just a moment ago?" Hakumei asked.
Diamond then looks around, taking precaution that Vecna might still be around.
"That is not good." Tigger said.
Diamond instead spotted the egg of the Last Elemental. "That's the egg that Mind was trying to hatch."
"Do we expose it?" Hakumei asked.
Diamond looks determined on if she wants to expose the egg or not. But decided against it. "We will put an end to what will hatch out of it. I'm sure."
"An egg is this thing all about?" Rabbit asked "but it's just a egg."
"No. Much worse. If it hatches, that thing will grow. And when it grows to a certain point, it'll become hostile, and attack." Diamond explains. "Mind told me about this."
"Why not give it love and it won't be this hostile thing." Tigger said.
Diamond shook her head. "That's not how the Last Elemental works."
"Hey! You guys! Over here!" Prunce waves at them at the entrance.
"Well, it looks like Vecna's gone for good. Wherever he disappeared to." Hakumei said.
The team then approaches Prunce.
"So we are not going to talk about that Vecna thing?" Rabbit said.
"It's better if we get out of here first." Prunce said.
"We'll explain who Vecna is later. Right now, now's the time to run." Diamond said.
Afterwards, the team then ran out of the place.
A few minutes after they escaped, Cure Star and Fuwa also ran out of the place as well.
"Well, that was crazy." Cure Star said.
"Tell me about it." Fuwa turns back to her normal form.
"Let's follow them." Cure Star then changes back into her civilian form.
Fuwa nodded.
Later, the search team are heading back to base, until Flandre stops the van truck.
"Um eather something went wrong or right as look up ahead." Fisher said.
They then saw that Diamond and her friends were out.
The older Phos sighed in relief, then turned to Fisher. "I guess your plan did work after all."
"Yeah faster then I thought." Fisher said.
Diamond then approaches the van truck with Hakumei, Prunce, Tigger and Rabbit.
They open the back door for the five to get in.
"So, I'm back." Diamond said.
Emilico sees Tigger and Rabbit, then she turns to Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore. "They might be your friends, I'm assuming."
"Oh hello there I hope you took some honey with you." Pooh said.
Milk then gets up from her chair, then grabs Tigger and Rabbit, then she leads them to Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore, then she forces them into a hug. "There. Family reunion. It's done."
"We have your parts still." Fritz said to Diamond.
Diamond nodded. "Thank you." She sighed. "I am sorry about what happened."
"Hey, everything's okay. You came back to us. That's a good thing." Katy said.
Diamond nodded.
Then, Hikaru and Fuwa came in the van truck.
"Oh. Hello." Konata Izumi waved.
"Hey." Hikaru waved back at Konata.
Candy looks at Prunce. "I'm assuming this is one of the other Precure teams."
Prunce nodded. "Indeed."
Candy sighed in relief. "Good. We'll need it."
"We're heading back to base now." Katy said.
Milk looks at the Hundred Acre Woods animals. "Okay, you can stop hugging now. I got you to do that so you can be happy again."
"Not to be rude or anything but can we get going now?" Lay Lay asked.
"Well this is sure a rude one." Rabbit said as he is hugging Piglet.
"It is really good to see you buddy." Tigger hugging Eeyore."
"Yes it is *sigh*" Eyeore said.
Milk saw that Pooh doesn't have anyone to hug really. "Why don't you hug anyone here? Whichever one you want. I force you into a hug for a reason."
"Oh my tummy is just rumbley, rummbley."
Milk facefaulted. "Silly old bear."
The van truck then rolls out again.
On the road, it is revealed that an enemy of the Descendants', Hades, was watching the van truck leave.
"Great more than I thought. It's just amazing how many can fit in that thing." Hades said.
Ending theme: We Stitch These Wounds by Black Veil Brides
You kissed the lips of evil
2 months it's all the same
Beg for this man's approval
Pray to die in vain
Sit down with thoughts alone now
With blood these lyrics came
Your words can eat right through me
Dead could hear my shame
The tears we've cried
This love has died
You're by yourself with me tonight
It's what we had with every lie
And stitch these wounds with me tonight
The tears we've cried
This love has died
You're by yourself with me tonight
It's what we had with every lie
And stitch these wounds with me tonight
LIAR!
LIAR!
LIAR Say Goodbye!
