Episode 538: A Conspiracy to Conquer!
A few days have passed since Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Digimon, and SEES made a stop in Camphrier Town, and brought back the Poké Flute from Princess Allie.
They made a stop for a meal as Dragonite flew right in. He had a pack with him. They saw the dragon Pokémon flying towards them. Sora stood up.
"Dragonite, it's great to see you, what brings you here?" Sora asked.
"Dragonite?" Minato asked.
"Dragonite is one of Sora's Pokémon," Ventus said.
"Dragonite is very cute," Bonnie said. Dragonite took out a small box from his pack, and hands it to Sora.
"What's that you're giving me?" Sora asked, opening it. He sees devices that greatly resembles their old Pokétches. Each one came in red, pink, blue, yellow, green, and brown. There was also a letter inside. "What are these?" Sora took the letter and read what was written on it.
Hiya Sora,
How are things on the Kalos Region? I noticed when you contacted us from a Pokémon Center and wondered what if you and the others needs to contact us when there is not a Pokémon Center around?
That's why I created those beauties, the S-Pods. It's similar to the Pokétche device you used on the Sinnoh region with same functions like: Friendship Checker, Kitchen Timer, Coin Toss and with a few other functions I added such as: video messages, face-chat, email, camera to take photos, saying the hours, Map, GPS a bank of database about all the people from your world so you guys know what your dealing with. As you can see They are designed with different colors: Sora yours is red, Kairi's is pink, Karen's is yellow, Ven's is green, Terra's is brown, and Aqua's is Blue. Don't worry I'll create two more for Riku and Naminé as well.
Hope you liked the presents and with this we'll be able to obtain informations about Team Shadow and all of their plans.
In the meantime I hope they'll be useful in your journey and good luck we're counting on you."
Tails.
"That's a good idea, Tails," Sora said. He handed one each to Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua. He used it to make contact with the two-tailed fox.
"Hey, Sora! I take it that you got my package!" Tails said.
"Yeah, I just got it. And thanks a lot," Sora said.
"And it also works like the Xtransceivers you also used in Unova. I forgot to add that in the letter. And you don't have to worry about us trying to find you, because we can pinpoint your location through your S-Pods," Tails said.
"You're talking to a fox, you know that, didn't you?" Minato asked.
"Yeah, we know," Sora said.
"I take it you're the extras, right?" Tails asked.
"Right. Meet Minato, Mitsuru, Aigis, Akihiko, Yukari, Shinjiro, Junpei, Fuuka, Ken, Metis, and Koromaru. And these two are Clemont and his little sister Bonnie," Sora introduced.
"Good to meet you. The name's Miles Prower. But you can call me Tails; everyone does," Tails said.
"Nice to meet you, Tails," Bonnie said.
"And I have to say, your devices are well built," Clemont said.
"Thanks," Tails said.
"Also, did you talk with Professor Oak about Dragonite?" Sora asked.
"Uh-huh. When I told him about it, he thought it was a great idea," Tails said.
"Tails, what are you doing? Weren't you supposed to be at Kairi's house five minutes ago?" Ray asked.
"Oh, you're right, Ray!" Tails said. "Sorry to cut this short, Sora, gotta go!"
"Hold on! What do you mean at my house?" Kairi asked.
"Oh, your parents wanted me to look after your baby brother until they got back. Your grandma is with her poetry club, and Sora's mom went to visit Ven's folks to see Yuki," Tails explained. "See ya!" He breaks contact.
Over to the SMASH Tower, Tails teleports off, and back in Pallet Town. He uses his two tails fly to Kairi's house. He knocked on the door as Mirei answered.
"Tails, how wonderful you're here," Mirei said.
"Sorry I'm late. Just got made contact with Sora, Kairi, and the others," Tails said. "They said hi."
"I'm grateful that you would go through all that trouble for them, Tails," Mirei said as Yuta came in the living room with Seth. He hands his son to Tails. "Everything you need to know is on this schedule." She hands him the schedule. "And if there's any trouble, you can contact us with a phone call."
"He's in good hands," Tails assured.
"Hope so," Yuta said. He rubbed Seth's head.
"See ya later, buddy," Yuta said.
"Be good for Tails for us," Mirei said, kissing her son on the cheek. Seth looked at Tails and he looked back at the baby.
"We'll have some loads of fun today, kiddo," Tails said. The parents took their leave as Seth was tearing up. Tails puts him down and moves his two tails. "Seth, look." Seth looked at the two tails and he laughed as he uses them to tickle him, making forget about his parents stepping out.
Back in Kalos, the group tested out their S-Pods some more after Dragonite took his leave back to Kanto.
"Okay, let's test these babies out," Sora said. "Tails did say in his letter they can keep track of Team Shadow." He picked up Team Shadow's signature. The S-Pods also picked up the signals of Magnet Man, Gemini Man, Dust Man, Gyro Man, Napalm Man, Plant Man, Freeze Man, Junk Man, Cloud Man, Slash Man, Shade Man, Turbo Man, Sword Man, Search Man, Grenade Man, Frost Man, Clown Man, Pirate Man, Magic Man, Hornet Man, Splash Woman, Jewel Man, Galaxy Man, Strike Man, Commando Man, Block Man, Acid Man, Bounce Man, and Impact Man.
"This can't be good. Team Shadow is really close to us," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel added.
"Not only that, but several of those robots are here with them," Sora said. "And not one of them is a pushover."
"Robots?" Bonnie asked.
"Just some bad robots Mega Man dealt with before. The good news is, it's not all of them. But that's not what I'm worried about," Sora said.
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
"You're right, it's the Malefic Pokémon we gotta worry about. Team Shadow's a whole lot stronger than ever because of them," Terra said.
"Malefic Pokémon?" Aigis asked.
"You mean those freaky Pokémon you told us about?" Junpei asked.
"That's them. If only they had a weakness," Sora said.
"You dealt with them before, so shouldn't you know what it is?" Yukari asked.
"If we did, we wouldn't have a problem with them. Also, we had some help," Sora said.
"Help? From who?" Metis asked.
"We had help from some guys who came from different worlds, just like you did," Veemon said.
"All the same, we gotta clear them out," Sora said.
"They don't know that we know where they are, so that gives us an advantage," Karen said.
"Pika, Pikachu," Blossom said.
"Even if we do find them, they're not going to be easy to beat," Ventus said.
"Ven's right, Sora. We got lucky the last time," Clemont said.
"We gotta try, Clemont. Team Shadow will be a problem just like Team Rocket were before we took them down, so we will do the same thing to them," Sora said.
"They could be making more Malefic Pokémon as we speak, so that's why our mission is important," Aqua said.
"I agree," Mitsuru said. "Let's go."
"Let's teach those guys a lesson they're gonna remember!" Meowth said, readying his claws.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Digimon, and SEES set off to destroy Team Shadow's evil plans.
Meanwhile in the Team Shadow base, the Team Shadow peons were doing testing with the Malefic Pokémon. Ein left days prior, leaving the peons to work.
"Good work, everyone. Our plans will go smoother than ever," the leading Team Shadow peon said.
"Sora Ketchum and his friends should be almost near Cyllage City by now," the lowly Team Shadow peon said.
"Then, we will prepare a proper welcome for them," the leading Team Shadow peon said.
"You could do that," a woman's voice spoke. They turned to see a hooded woman along with a Malamar. The Malamar had a round device around its neck. "What kind of welcome do you think is appropriate?"
"Who the hell are you?! And how did you get in here?!" The leading Team Shadow peon exclaimed.
"You may call me Madame X," the woman replied.
"Madame X? Never heard of you," the leading Team Shadow peon said.
"I don't expect you to hear of me. That is of no importance to me. What is of great importance is that I hear Sora Ketchum is in this area as we speak, and it will not be long until he arrives. And what's more, he is bringing the Digimon and a band of super-powered teenagers with him. They could all prove to be potential weapons for my cause for world conquest," Madame X said.
"Potential weapons? What bullshit are you spewing from your mouth, bitch?!" The leading Team Shadow peon asked.
"I have a proposition for you, Team Shadow. The proposition is that you and I join forces, and we can capture Sora Ketchum, his Pokémon, the Digimon, and those teenagers, and together, we can take the world. Your Malefic Pokémon have proven themselves quite well," Madame X said.
"No way! Team Shadow answers only to Master Mateus!" The leading Team Shadow peon said.
"You are in no position to disagree," Madame X said. Malamar gave off a yellow, pink, green, and violet glow. Malamar has taken control of the Team Shadow peons. "There is no mind that isn't mine to control." Just then, Magnet Man, Gemini Man, Dust Man, Gyro Man, Napalm Man, Plant Man, Freeze Man, Junk Man, Cloud Man, Slash Man, Shade Man, Turbo Man, Sword Man, Search Man, Grenade Man, Frost Man, Clown Man, Pirate Man, Magic Man, Hornet Man, Splash Woman, Jewel Man, Galaxy Man, Strike Man, Commando Man, Block Man, Acid Man, Bounce Man, and Impact Man all came walking behind Madame X and Malamar. "And what a little reprogramming can do to suit my needs." He turned to the evil Robot Masters. "Be sure to welcome Sora Ketchum. Bring him, the Pikachu, the Digimon, and the teenagers to me alive, and do what you want with the others."
"As you wish, master," the evil Robot Masters replied, taking their leave. Malamar grinned evilly.
Meanwhile, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, the Digimon, and SEES all make their way towards the Team Shadow base.
"How much further are we?" Ken asked.
"We're very close!" Kairi said.
"Vee!" Angel said.
Just then, they all made their stop as the Pikachu moved their ears, and Koromaru started growling.
"Something's not right here," Meowth said.
Just then, a missle comes right at them. Pikachu jumped and swung his tail, sending it flying.
"Pika!" Pikachu said. The shot came from Commando Man.
"It's one of Dr. Wily's robots!" Meowth said.
"Okay, Wily! Come out and show that mustache of yours! I know you're here somewhere!" Sora called out.
"There is no Dr. Wily here," Magnet Man corrected him.
All of the evil Robot Masters came on out of hiding.
"We are here by orders of our new master: Madame X," Splash Woman said.
"Madame X?" Ventus asked.
"We were sent here to retrieve Sora Ketchum, his Pikachu, the Digimon, and those teenagers alive, as she ordered," Gemini Man said.
"And we will dispose of the rest of you," Slash Man said.
"You're gonna have to try. We beat you guys before, and we can do it again!" Sora said.
"You got that right. Not gonna happen!" Karen said.
The robots all launched their attack on the group.
"Stay close to me, Bonnie!" Clemont said.
"You stay in there, too, Dedenne!" Bonnie said.
"Dedenne, ne!" Dedenne said.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt right at the evil Robot Masters. Bounce Man bounced right in front of Pikachu's attack, and his attack bounced back (boingy, boingy, boingy!). "That's right! Electricity doesn't affect rubber!"
"And that's bad for us!" Kairi and Karen both said at once.
"Eevee," Angel added.
"Pika," Blossom added.
SEES took out their weapons as Sword Man swung his bladed arm. Akihiko blocked his attack. Impact Man piledrives towards Armadillomon.
"Diamond Shell!" Armadillomon shouted, rolling towards the large robot. Impact Man is plowed at.
"We gotta Digivolve, Agumon!" Veemon said.
"Right. Everyone get ready!" Agumon said. Just then, a blast of Hyper Beam struck the Digimon.
"Agumon!" Sora gasped. He then felt his body freeze in place. The same can be said for SEES, except for Koromaru.
"What the hell's going on?!" Shinjiro exclaimed.
"We can't move!" Mitsuru exclaimed.
"No, you cannot," Madame X said. She and Malamar arrived, courtesy of Malamar.
"A Malamar," Terra said.
"Pikachu," Thor said.
"You're Madame X, aren't you?" Kairi asked.
"In the flesh," Madame X said.
"You're a member of Team Shadow, aren't you?" Aqua asked.
"Pikachu!" Eclair said.
"No, I am not. I answer to no one. But soon, the world will answer to me," Madame X said.
"To you?" Ventus asked.
"Yes. Sora Ketchum, the Digimon, and these teenagers will be my pawns for world domination," Madame X said.
"No, I won't let you do that to him!" Kairi said, running to save her boyfriend. Malamar struck Kairi with its tentacle.
"Kairi!" Sora exclaimed, trying to break Malamar's hold.
"Stop!" Madame X instructed as Malamar held a tentacle to her throat. "If you value her life, then you will surrender." Sora loved Kairi more than anything else in the world; her life meant the world to him more than his own. He had no choice but to stop resisting.
"Okay, Madame X. You win," Sora said.
"You have made a wise decision, Sora," Madame X said. Malamar uses its Psychic powers to lift the Robot Masters. Koromaru barked. "Do not follow." Madame X and Malamar takes them with them as the Robot Masters are being taken as well.
"Sora!" Kairi called out to her boyfriend in tears. She ran after him as Angel also gave chase. Cloud Man fired a bolt of lightning on their path, stopping them. "Sora! Sora! SORA!" Kairi was in more tears and fell on her knees. "Sora."
"Kairi!" Karen called out to her brother's girlfriend. The rest of the group ran towards her and the female Eevee. Kairi started to cry really heavy.
"Sora," Kairi could only say. Karen took her in her arms.
"Kairi, here," Karen said kindly. She cried right into her boyfriend's sister's shoulder.
"This can't be good," Meowth said.
"And what gave that away?" Terra asked.
"What would they want with him? I mean, the Digimon I get, but Sora?" Meowth said.
"We'll have to rescue them all," Clemont said.
"I agree. Let's go," Terra said.
Meanwhile, we see an old observatory with a motorcycle parked in front. Inside, Sora wakes up to see he is greeted by a bright light.
"What's going on?" Sora asked.
"You have awakened, I see," a dark voice spoke.
"Who are you? And where am I? Where are my friends?" Sora asked.
"My identity is of no importance. You are simply my guest; as well as the Digimon and your other friends. They are in my care as we speak. I apologize if you are feeling quite uncomfortable," the voice spoke.
"Why can't I move?" Sora asked.
"I have placed a device around your neck after you have lost consciousness before arriving here. As long as my device is active, it shall prohibit you from moving from the neck down, but you are able to use the power of speech. I thought it will give us a chance to be alone," the voice said. "And it will keep you from using your aura powers to escape. I find it very fascinating."
"What do you want with me?" Sora asked. "You working with Madame X?"
"Yes and no. Your reputation as a Pokémon League Champion is quite impressive. I have done my research, and your performances in battle is the knowledge was I needed," the voice said. "No ordinary Pokémon trainer could do what you can do. As for the Digimon, they have proven to be tools for battle, and the teenagers have a gift not native of this world. And what wonderful specimens they would make."
"So, my rep as a Champion is what you want with me?" Sora asked.
"Indeed it is, Mr. Ketchum. And now, to do what I have in mind," the voice said.
"Have what in mi-" Sora was cut off as Sora's expression changed. His eyes goes lifeless, but somehow, he's still alive. "I will do your bidding, master."
"I know you will," the voice spoke.
Back with the rest of the group, Kairi and Angel ran ahead of the rest of the group.
"Sora! Sora, where are you?!" Kairi shouted.
"Kairi, wait up!" Ven called out to her.
"You're moving too slow! Sora's in danger!" Kairi said.
"We're keeping up as fast as we can!" Aqua said. Clemont is panting from behind. "Most of us, anyway."
"I," pant, "can't," pant, "keep," pant "up," Clemont said as he panted.
"Clemont, you're so slow!" Bonnie said.
"You need to take it easy, Kairi," Aqua said.
"Sora is probably going through what that awful woman is doing. I don't even wanna think about it!" Kairi said.
"Vee," Angel said, worriedly.
"You're worried about Sora, and Angel's worried about Pikachu. We get it. But, we gotta have a plan of rescue. If you rush in without one, you're just hurting him more than you're helping him," Meowth said.
"He's right, Kairi. We can't just rush right in. We don't even know where to rush in," Aqua said.
"Sora needs help. If we don't hurry, we might lose him forever," Kairi said.
"Kairi, you know Agumon, Minato, and the others are with him," Ventus pointed out.
"Pika, Pika," Sparky said.
"He's right. We have to help them, too," Bonnie said.
"Dedenne, ne," Dedenne said.
Koromaru, nuzzles Kairi and whimpered. Kairi looked into the dog's eyes. She knew better than to disagree.
"You're right, everyone. It's just, he's been with me ever since the beginning. He saved my life, and I am eternally grateful to him, and ever since then, I don't ever wanna be seperated from him," Kairi said.
"And you won't, Kairi," Karen said. Kairi took at look at her boyfriend's sister. "Out of all of us here, you've been with him the longest. You risked everything to save everything from Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, and even Team Rocket. You saved the world together. You saved all of existence from being erased, and you never gave up; especially when the odds were against you. We will save Sora, Minato, Agumon, and the others, but only if we work together." Karen took Karen by the hands. "Sora would say the same thing." Kairi was silent for a moment, and then she smiled.
"You're right, Karen. He would say that. And he would pull out his spiky hair, risking his life for me like when he searched for me when we were trapped inside of Sakkakumon. He never gave up," Kairi said. "You truly are Sora's sister. Thank you, Karen." She gave her a hug. Karen hugged her back.

"Joker, everything ready to go?" Lucina asked.
"Like you planned, Lucina," Ren replied.
"I still don't get why this Madame X just showed up out of the blue," Ty said.
"I don't either, but if she poses a threat, then we have to stop her," Lucina said. "Joker, Yu, the Investigation Team and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts will move in first."
"You got it," Yu said. He turned to his team. "Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Teddie, Naoto, Kitsune, let's go."
"Mona, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Goro, Sumiere, Sophie, let's go," Ren said.

Inside, the Investigation Team and Phantom Thieves of Hearts splits up to cover more ground. They were not aware of pairs of eyes, looking at them.

"What is it, Kitsune?" Teddie asked.
"We're not alone in here," Yukiko said.
And she was right when Garurumon came walking in from the shadows. His eyes were in the same lifeless state as Sora's.
"What the hell is that?" Kanji asked.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look friendly," Yu said.
They each got their weapons ready. Garurumon fired his Howling Blaster at the Investigation Team. They ducked down.
"That was a huge no shit right there!" Kanji exclaimed. Just then, Ankylomon came and swung his tail down at them. They scatter around.
"You gotta be kidding! We're dealing with a freaking dinosaur?" Kanji exclaimed.
"An ankylosaurus!" Yukiko said.
"Is that a Shadow?" Chie asked.
"It doesn't look like one," Naoto said.
"They're not Shadows. They're something else entirely," Teddie said.
"And how are we going to beat them?" Rise asked.
"By order of Madame X, you must be eliminated," Garurumon said.
"Threats against our master cannot be tolerated," Ankylomon said.
"They can talk, too?!" Chie exclaimed.
"We'll have to use our Personas to put them down!" Yosuke said.
"You're right. Let's do this thing," Yu said. He was about to call upon his Persona when ice froze them all in place.
"What the hell?!" Kanji exclaimed. They turned to see Frost Man walking towards them. Madame X and Malamar walked in behind Frost Man.
"Excellent work, Frost Man," Madame X said.
Over to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, they were wondering around when they heard the sounds of footsteps coming from behind them. They felt the ground shake with each step.
"Something's coming," Mona said.
And he was right. Veedramon came in the same zombified state.
"A Shadow?" Ren asked.
"Not any I've seen," Ann said. Veedramon came at them with Hammer Punch, making them scatter. He then fired his V-Nova Blast at them, making them scatter again. Just then, Birdramon and Aquilamon came and swooped Ann, Futaba, Makoto, and Sumiere in their talons.
"Put us down!" Makoto said. They dropped the girls in a cage beneath them. Pirate Man came and tied up the Haru in chains, and pulled her to him. Junk Man knocked out Yusuke and Goro from behind. Freeze Man froze the remaining members in some ice.
"Madame X will be pleased," Veedramon said in a zombified tone.
"Very pleased," Birdramon agreed in the same tone.
Outside, the remaining otherworldly fighters went inside to investigate.
"Something's wrong. We should have heard back from them by now," Lucina said.
"Ki, ki, ki, ki?" Firebrand asked.
"We don't know for certain, Firebrand, but I hope not," Yooka said.
"Maybe Madame X got to them," Glover said.
"That could explain why they're not answering us," T'ai said.
"Okay, let's go in. We should stick together just in case something goes wrong," Lucina said.
"Agreed," Simon said.
With that said, Lucina, Shulk, Fiora, Rex, Pyra, Mythra, Simon, Spark, Yooka, Laylee, Radical, Aero, Isaac, Saki, the Robins, the Corrins, the Byleaths, Chrom, Ty, Bonk, Amaterasu, Chibiterasu, Frogger, Higgins, T'ai, Joe, Mac, Viewtiful Joe, Scaler, Glover, Billy, Blinx, Roy, Ike, Vexx, Strider, Firebrand, Ristar, Vectorman, Shazza, and Pulseman ventured inside to find the missing Investigation Team and Phantom Thieves of Hearts. They didn't wait long until a bolt of electricity struck the ground in front of them. An azure orb of aura struck Firebrand, knocking him down. Sora and Pikachu steps forward. Some of them recognized him.
"Sora? What are you doing here?" Frogger asked as he hopped towards him. The anthromorphic tiger stopped him.
"Wait, Frogger! Something's not right!" T'ai said.
"No one can stand in the way of Madame X," Sora said in a zombified tone.
"Sora?" Higgins asked. Sora unleashed another orb of aura at the invaders. Vectorman fired to block the attack. Greymon, Kabuterimon, Togemon, Ikkakumon, Angemon, Gatomon, and Stingmon launched their attack on them. They quickly overpowered the otherworldly visitors.
"Sora, this isn't funny anymore!" Frogger said.
"He is not in control of his own body," Strider said. "Something is controlling him." Sora raised his hand and gave off a flash, blinding everyone.
Back to Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, and Koromaru, Kairi made contact with the SMASH Tower as Mega Man, Cut Man, Guts Man, Ice Man, Elec Man, Bomb Man, Fire Man, Time Man, and Oil Man were teleported down.
"I'm so glad you came along," Kairi said.
"Alia was a bit sketchy on the details, so what gives?" Guts Man asked.
"Sora, the Digimon, and the others were captured by a woman calling herself Madame X. With her was a Malamar," Karen said.
"Not only that, but she had a handful of Dr. Wily's robots with her," Meowth added.
"Could Dr. Wily be behind this?" Mega Man asked.
"They said Wily's not behind this. She must have done something to them," Kairi said.
"We gotta do something," Ventus said.
"You're right, Ven. We're gonna clean their clocks," Bomb Man said.
"Tsk," Time Man said, rolling his eyes.
"Are their clocks dirty?" Bonnie asked.
"Not that they have clocks, but we'll put them on ice," Ice Man said.
"But we gotta know where they are," Terra pointed out. Angel looked at Koromaru and pointed to the dog.
"Eevee, vee!" Angel said.
"Angel, what's up?" Kairi asked. Meowth understood what she was saying.
"We can use Koromaru's sniffer to find them!" Meowth said. Koromaru barked with agreement.
"That's a great idea, Meowth!" Aqua said.
"How?" Clemont asked.
"Koromaru's a dog, and we gotta have something that has the scent of either Sora, the Digimon, or one of the SEES guys," Meowth said.
"Yes, that makes sense. It's common knowledge that dogs has a unique sense of smell," Time Man said. Kairi thought for a moment, and she brought out a handkerchief.
"This should have Sora's scent," Kairi said. She held in front of Koromaru's nose. "Get the scent, boy." He starts sniff. The dog barks and ran off ahead. "Koro's got the scent!" The dog kept on barking as the group followed him. Koromaru led them to the abandoned observatory, having Koromaru barking. They all caught up as Kairi pets the dog. "Good dog, Koro!" Koromaru licked her face.
"Look!" Bonnie said, pointing to the motorcycle, still parked outside. "It's Officer Jenny's motorcycle."
"Officer Jenny must be looking into it just like we are," Ventus said.
"If so, then it's a good thing we're here," Clemont said.
"Madame X doesn't know we're here, and that gives us the advantage we need," Meowth said.
"Let's go!" Kairi said as she, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, Koromaru, Mega Man, and the good Robot Masters went inside to rescue their friends, unaware of the security camera in place.
Aigis and Metis were reprogrammed same as the evil Robot Masters, and they went to inform Madame X of the development.
"Master, we have intruders," Aigis said.
"Should we stop them?" Metis asked.
"No. Allow them to press on," Madame X spoke.
"Yes, master," Aigis and Metis acknowledged.
Inside, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, Koromaru, Mega Man, and the good Robot Masters trailed on, searching for their friends.
As they trailed on, Meowth could feel a sudden chill in the air.
"Doesn't anyone have a feeling that this is too easy?" Meowth asked.
"What do you mean, Meowth?" Clemont asked.
"What are you going on about? We didn't have any trouble coming here," Oil Man said.
"That's what I mean. We should have ran into some by now," Meowth said.
"What do you mean?" Mega Man asked.
"I don't know. Maybe a guard, a booby trap," Meowth said as they came across the evil Robot Masterz showed up and surrounded them. All of the Digimon surrounded them as well.
"Guys!" Ventus said happily. He was about to run up to them when Ikkakumon fired a warning shot of his Harpoon Torpedo. Luckily, Guts Man was able to save him. "Ikkakumon, what are you doing?!"
"Ikakkumon?" Clemont asked, feeling intimidated.
"Yeah. That's Gomamon's Digivolved form," Ventus said.
"That's Gomamon?" Bonnie asked.
"Garurumon is Gabumon, Kabuterimon is Tentomon, Birdramon is Biyomon, Togemon is Palmon, Angemon is Patamon, Veedramon is Veemon, Stingmon is Wormmon, Ankylomon is Armadillomon, Aquilamon is Hawkmon. You know who Greymon is," Ventus said.
"And something's off about them," Meowth said. Gatomon gave Meowth a punch with Lightning Paw. "Hey! Watch the friendly fire!"
"That didn't look friendly to me," Bonnie said.
"You're right, it didn't," Terra said.
"Pikachu," Thor said.
The evil Robot Masters attacked the group as Fire Man unleashed his flames. Ice Man fired his ice right at the Personas. Elec Man fired his electricity right at them. The Digimon attacked them.
"Kairi, you and the others go and find Sora! We'll keep them busy!" Mega Man said.
"Okay! Don't hurt them!" Kairi said.
"I promise, I won't!" Mega Man assured as Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Clemont, Bonnie, Angel, Meowth, Dedenne, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, and Koromaru went to find Sora and SEES. As they kept going, they saw SEES standing there, along with Sora and Pikachu. Kairi's face lit up, seeing her boyfriend again.
"Sora!" Kairi said happily.
"Eevee, vee!" Angel also said, seeing Pikachu. Angel attempted to embrace her boyfriend when Thor stopped him.
"Chu!" Thor said.
"Vee?" Angel asked.
Kairi tried to get to Sora, but Terra grabbed her by the shoulder.
"Kairi, wait! Something's not right!" Terra said.
"What are you talking about?" Kairi asked. Sora unleashed his aura power at the group as Pikachu fired Thunderbolt at them. Terra shoved Kairi down as he's struck by Sora's aura. Terra screamed in pain.
"TERRA!" Aqua screamed in tears.
"Terra, no!" Kairi gasped. She looked at Sora, and she knew something was really off. She knew Sora would never try to hurt Terra on purpose. "Sora, please tell me that you're still in there!"
"Do not bother, girl," Madame X said. "Your voice cannot reach him. He is completely in my control."
"What did you do to him?!" Kairi asked.
"I made him and his Pikachu mine. And they will be mine, forever," Madame X said.
"No, I won't let you do that!" Kairi said. She attempted to get to him as she is wrapped around with a whip. It turns out that Simon is under Madame X's control as well. "Simon, not you too!"
"Oh, but he is, and so are they," Madame X said as the inter dimensional heroes were not under the control of Madame X. She recognized a few more of them. "I reprogrammed the robots, since I cannot control their inorganic brains."
"Why are you doing this?" Kairi asked.
"I intend to rule the world. I thought I shall begin by building an army. Soldiers who will do my bidding. Sora Ketchum is the perfect specimen to control," Madame X said. "The same for the Digimon, and the inter dimensional visitors. Their unique abilities would prove useful to me."
"You know about them being from different worlds?" Ventus asked.
"I do. I have been looking into the dimensional rifts, and the Autobots and Decepticons being on Earth. I regret that I have not been able to get to the Autobots since they returned to their home planet, nor I could with the Decepticons since they were destroyed. But no matter. I can at least settle with what I have," Madame X said.
"You won't get away with this!" Karen said.
"I already have!" Madame X said. She grinned evilly. "Kill them all."
The mind controlled slaves made their move towards the group very slowly.
Back with the fight between Mega Man, the Robot Masters, and the Digimon, Mega Man and the good Robot Masters were in a real bind as they have gained the upper hand.
"They're way too tough for us!" Cut Man said.
"And there's too many of them," Elec Man added.
"If only we can get some help and soon," Mega Man said.
He got his wish as Bentley the turtle showed up and he fired a soundwave right at the evil Robot Masters, scrambling their circuits.
"Bentley!" Mega Man said.
"When did you get here?" Time Man asked.
"A few minutes after you left. I was able to track you down with my equipment," Bentley said.
"We're very grateful to you, Bentley," Mega Man said. He turned to the evil Robot Masters, but the Digimon were still at it. "But it didn't stop them!"
"No, but this will!" Bentley said, firing his sleep darts at the Digimon. One-by-one, the Digimon started to fall right asleep. "Sleep tight."
"You are one smart turtle, Bentley," Guts Man said.
"And here's something else. Whatever this Madame X has put over them is undone. That wave I hit them with severed what connection she had over them. I can't say the same about the Digimon," Bentley said. The Digimon reverts back to their Rookie forms and regained consciousness.
"What are we doing here?" Agumon asked. "Where are we?" He looked at Mega Man, the good Robot Masters, and Bentley. "When did you get here?" Bentley stroked his chin.
"Interest. It appears Madame X's Malamar's Psychic powers no longer has any hold over you," Bentley said.
"The last thing we remember was that Malamar hovering over us, and the next thing we know, we went blank," Veemon said.
"We can explain later. We gotta help out our friends," Mega Man said.
"Then, what are we waiting for?" Oil Man asked as they all went in the direction they ran.
The brainwashed heroes attempted to kill Kairi and the others when Agumon jumped in.
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon shouted, firing his signature attack. Vectorman is struck as Patamon darting down, and struck Radical Rex. The rest of the Digimon along with Bentley, Mega Man, and the good Robot Masters arrived.
"How did you break free?" Madame X asked.
"We just fell asleep. Guess your Malamar's mind control don't work when unconscious," Agumon said.
"I can just gain control of you again!" Madame X said. Malamar was about to do that when Bentley fired a dart at it, but the overturning Pokémon just dodged. "It seems that you are more trouble than you are worth. Sora, destroy them all!"
"Yes, master," Sora said in a zombified voice.
"Sora, snap out of it!" Kairi shouted. Sora stopped in his tracks. "Sora, I know you can hear me! Madame X lied!" Sora was starting to break free.
"K-Kairi," Sora said, regaining his senses.
"Yes, Sora, it's me! Focus on my voice!" Kairi said.
"Obey me!" Madame X commanded. Malamar started to regain control over his mind. "You belong to me!"
"Sora, don't let her win! You're stronger than that; I know you are!" Kairi said.
"I must obey my master," Sora said.
"Sora, don't do this! Please, I know you can break free of her!" Kairi said. Sora was making his way towards her.
"Do it! Kill her!" Madame X ordered. Sora's hands were in range of her throat, but he froze. He was trying to regain his senses again.
"No, I won't!" Sora said.
"Fight it, Sora!" Kairi said.
"No! Don't fight it! Obey me!" Madame X ordered. Malamar made one more attempt to control him. Sora struggled to break free of her control.
"Sora, listen to me! We've been through a lot together, and we always pulled through! Don't let her win! Don't throw away everything we worked hard for," Kairi said.
"Kairi," Sora said.
"I love you, Sora," Kairi said.
Malamar's hold over Sora was weakening. The same with Pikachu. Angel was doing the same thing as Kairi.
"Pikachu, please, fight it!" - Angel subtitle.
"Angel." - Pikachu subtitle.
They were trying to fight back against Malamar's control. Kairi and Angel embraced their significant others and kissed them on the lips. Clemont was blushing like crazy as Bonnie was awestruck by the kiss. Both Pokémon and trainer regained their senses. The girls parted lips.
"Kairi," Sora could only say.
"Pika," Pikachu could only say.
"Sora, are you okay?" Kairi asked.
"I was supposed to ask you that," Sora said.
"No, no, no! This wasn't supposed to happen!" Madame X exclaimed. Sora turned around and fired his aura at Madame X.
"SHUT UP!" Sora shouted as he and Pikachu struck both Madame X and Malamar. Madame X fell on her back as well as Malamar. The heroes regained their senses as well.
"What just happened to us?" Yu asked.
Sora ran towards Madame X, and forced her up.
"You tried to get me to kill Kairi! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT!" Sora yelled. Madame X groaned.
"Where am I?" Madame X asked, confusing Sora.
"Huh?" Sora asked. He pushed the hood back to reveal Officer Jenny. "What the?! Officer Jenny?!" Everyone were confused by this surprise twist.
"Well, that's unexpected," Wormmon said.
"What is going on?" Sora asked.
"The last thing I remember is that I was getting strange reports were going on here. And that's when I ran into a Malamar," Officer Jenny said.
"Malamar?" Kairi asked.
"Yes, that is right," the voice spoke. It turns out to be Malamar, speaking through the device. "It was all my doing."
"That was you the whole time?! You were the one who were speaking to me?!" Sora exclaimed.
"Indeed, Sora Ketchum. I was the one who was pulling the strings. Officer Jenny was an excellent puppet. I overestimated my abilities to control you, since the power of love broke my control over you," Malamar said. "A mistake I do not intend to make again."
"Yeah, it was a mistake you made, Malamar!" Kairi said.
"I was also working on an important new weapon. A weapon to conquer the world," Malamar said.
Just then, Inkay came floating in and attacked the Malamar with a Tackle. Inkay then came at it with Peck, but Malamar overpowered it with Dark Pulse.
"Kay!" Inkay yelped.
"You will not stand in my way, you little parasite!" Malamar said. It floats in the air and to an exit.
"He's getting away!" Kairi said.
"After him!" Karen said.
They all chased after him down the hall. They entered a room, filled full of strange vines and spikes; the weaponized machine.
"What is that?" Bentley asked.
"Malamar's weapon," Officer Jenny said.
"This is how the new world starts. And that is only the beginning of my evil grand design. But now that you have discovered the weapon, I'll have no choice but to destroy it, right away," Malamar said. He uses his psychic powers to destroy the weapon.
"Everyone out!" Sora shouted. Everyone all headed out. The evil Robot Masters regained consciousness as they being grabbed by the heroes, with the observatory exploding. They made it outside as the building was exploding. Malamar floats away.
"Look, it's Malamar!" Bonnie said.
"What did Malamar mean by the beginning of his evil grand design?" Minato asked.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling we're going to see that Pokémon again," Terra said.
"I hope so," Sora said. "I'll never forgive that Malamar for what he almost made me do," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
Everyone were wondering what Malamar's master plan could be. There are no answers to those questions as of yet, but we will press on even further as the journey continues.
I can bet you weren't expecting Malamar could talk with the use of a device like the Brain in the Brotherhood of Evil. Just a little something I decided to put in since it gave that Malamar more of an evil touch. Also, adding in more video game characters is something else I put in (obvious to many of you), and I can admit, they could be some you haven't heard of, but bare with me. Anyway, hope that you enjoyed the chapter.
