Determined to get Pino back from Sibir, the Hero Alliance got the location of the crime boss's hideout and headed there to cause a little mayhem. Weisz, interested in claiming Pino for himself as well, also headed to Sibir's hideout on a big headstart.

"Just curious, but do we have a plan going into this?" Happy-2 asked. "There's gonna be a whole lotta enemies."

"Nope, we're basically going in hard." Hope said. "Besides, we're a pretty big force ourselves."

"But still, Pino might get hurt even worse by Sibir if we just charge in, we gotta catch them by surprise." Leviathan said.

"I think Weisz will help us with that." Kendo said.

"Considering how he is, he'll probably take Pino for himself." Leviathan said.

"We should probably have a unit keep an eye on him, just in case he tries to make a break for it." Fulgore said.

"Sounds like a plan." Fefnir said as he rode his airbike.

At Sibir's hideout…

"Before we get things started…. I still need to find a punishment for you running away." Sibir said.

"Uh, technically I did not run away." Pino shivered. "More accurately, the case I was stored in was-"

"What?!" Sibir asked, angry at Pino, while Weisz was hiding, regretting his actions, somewhat. "How about I rip off your other leg so you won't even think about running away from me again, even if you wanted to?" Sibir smiled as he held Pino in a crushing grip before gripping her functional left leg. "Remembe this the next time you think about running away from your master. Hold still… this will only hurt a lot!"

But before Sibir could even rip off Pino's leg, a well placed rock to the face caused him to lose his grip on Pino and sent her flying into the hand of Weisz.

"This bot belongs to me now, she would be wasted under you, Sibir." Weisz said.

"I'm gonna crush you." Sibir said before the others broke right through the windows.

"I don't think so!" Jexi said.

"Now hand over Pino!" Shiki called out.

"I'd advise against trying to flee." Kagane said.

"Pummel those brats!" one of the thugs called as they charged.

"Not a very smart move on your part." Kagane said.

Shiki touched the ground as they started getting pulled in. "Magimech Attack: Gravity Wave!" he said before pummeling them. "Gravity Fist Frenzy!"

"Yes! That's the…" Natsu said before they heard revving as Weisz was on the motorcycle.

"Thanks. I'll be taking Pino with me!" Weisz said as he drove off with Pino and Happy-2.

"Seriously? Coward." David said.

"Oh no you don't." Leviathan said before they heard a pile driver drop down on a majority of the group.

"Incoming!" David said as he and a number of them pushed Rebecca and some of the others out of the way before it fell on them.

"Guys?" Lucy asked.

"You're alive right?" Rebecca asked.

"All of you have other problems." a voice said as two men stood behind them. "We're the iron clad Foote Brothers! The ultimate duo!" they said.

"I recognize these clowns. They're counterparts of these brothers from the Southern Wolves Mercenary Guild, only they're a lot more cooler." DW typed.

"Um, I think we have bigger things to worry about." Noel said, aiming Bolverk at the two.

"Hey, Shiki! We're surrounded by some weirdos!" Rebecca called out.

"Oh well, I guess she's never heard of us." the younger brother said. "What should we do?

"An iron roundhouse kick. No…a thousand of them." the older brother said.

"*sigh*" Leviathan said before freezing them. She was surprised to see them gone before she was dealt a number of strong kicks.

"The nerve. That stupid robot tried to freeze us." the younger brother said.

"The nerve of her." the older brother said.

"These two are no joke, that's for sure." Fulgore said.

"If even one of those kicks hit us, we'll get hurt bad." Noel said.

"We're just going to have to fight seriously then." Lucy said.

"You're right…I was way too lax." Leviathan said.

"Don't worry about it, Levi. Just stay focused." Fulgore said.

"Right." Leviathan said, twirling her halberd before pointing it at the two as she armored up.

Rebecca and Lucy went about dodging their strikes before preparing to fight. "Now then…" they said.

"Wait a minute! It would appear…you two have the hottest legs in all of the Sakura Cosmos!" the older brother said.

"Both your legs are fabulous… I'll let you and your friends off if one of you goes on a date with me." the younger added.

"Yes indeed. A double legged double date for me." the older brother said.

"Idiots…." Jin said.

Rebecca then grabbed a gun off the floor. "Eat lead, perverts!" she furiously shot at both, but they deflected the bullets with their prosthetics.

"Give us a closer look!" they both said jumping at Lucy and Rebecca before the pile driver was forced up with Shiki and the others under it.

"Hey, boys. Eyes over here." David said..

"Magimech attack!" Shiki said, attacking the brothers. "Gravity Windmill!" he said taking them both down.

"Phew… What a couple of clucks." David said.

"Now…" Shiki said as he dashed off.

"Least that's…gah!" Lucy said, seeing the brothers crawling on the ground.

"Wonderful…legs." they groaned.

"Permission to stomp on them?" Crusadermon asked.

"Yeah…I don't think they're gonna get any better so go right ahead." Rebecca said.

"In other words…Granted." Alphamon said as Crusadermon went and stomped on them.

"Her legs…are just as hot." they both said before passing out.

"How was that for a closeup?" Crusadermon asked.

"Whoa. Remind me not to mess with her." Shun'ei said.

"Seconded." Fefnir said. "Anyway, shouldn't we be going after Weisz?"

"Don't worry…we got that handled." Jexi said as he and some of the leaders went after Shiki.

"The way Sibir treats his robots is a disgrace to us tech geeks." Miu said.

"Besides…Machines…they're like us. They have feelings…and they shed tears too." Jexi said.

"Thank you for that. It really puts a tingle in my heart." Fulgore said.

"As it does mine." Keebo said.

"For once, I agree with that statement." Kokichi said.

"Coming from you I find that hard to believe." Leviathan said.

"Let's not get into that right now, weve got a crime lord to take down." Hope said as the group continued to chase down Shiki.

On the streets, Sibir was in his Knight Gear Mech as he was about to fire a missile at Weisz, Pino and Happy-2.

"He's gonna kill us!" Happy-2 creid.

On top of one of the buildings, one of the three figures stretch his arms outward.

"Commencing hack." the figure said as digital lines flowed into the mech as the missile suddenly exploded, damaging the mech.

"What the…?!" Sibir asked, but didn't have time to say anymore as Shiki slammed into the mech from behind and forced him right out of the cockpit. "You dare disrespect me?! I gotta hand it to ya kid, I havent been this pissed off in awhile!" he said preparing his golden arm before punching at Shiki.

"Whoa! He's pummeling Shiki!" Happy-2 said.

"It's my fault. I'm the one who built him that augmenter arm." Weisz said.

"Ah, now things are starting to make sense." Fulgore said.

"Grrr…you know…Machines…are people too!" Shiki called out. "They're more than scrap!" he said gathering gravity into his arm. "Magimech attack! Gravity…Cannon!" Shiki said, sending Sibir crashing to the ground in defeat.

But the battle wasn't over yet. Sibir's bird companion pressed a button inside his mech, which directed it to grab Shiki before priming itself to blow.

"A self-destruct sequence?!" Fulgore asked. "This is bad, we have to disable this now!"

Just then the mech released Shiki before suddenly shutting down.

"Phew… Made it." Fulgore said in relief.

"Uh…he nor you did a thing." Keebo said pointing to Pino.

"You worthless scrap metal." Sibir growled.

"I may be a machine…but I have a choice." Pino said.

"Couldn't have said it better." Weisz said as he pulled out his gun on Sibir.

Sibir looked at him and the others in fear as Weisz tried to pull the trigger.

"Would you look at that? The EMP shorted out my gun. Too bad. Guess we'll settle for this!" Weisz said as he and Fulgore destroyed the robotic arm, exposing Sibir's very weak-looking arm.

"Hey, you guys okay?" RD-2 asked as the others caught up.

"Yep. We're all good here." Miu said.

"Great to hear. And we're glad you're safe too, Pino." Sakura said.

"Yeah…" Shiki said.

"But…you are bleeding." Pino said.

"It'll be fine. Those guys can lick my wounds clean. Besides, we're friends." Shiki said as he and Pino both smiled.

"Great to see her happy. But what I wanna know is, who caused that missile to misfire?" Hope asked.

"Hard to tell. There were traces of someone sabotaging it, but they left shortly afterward." Fulgore said.

"Actually, they might be still here." DW typed. "There's only one guy I know of that can pull off a hack that precise…"

"Haven't seen each other for two years, and you're not even gonna bother with a hello?" Ragna said. "Stop being so distant, 2B, 9S, A2."

Just then three figures landed on the ground, two female, and one male. The first female had white hair in a bobcut as she wore a black goth lolita dress with gloves and knee-length boots as she had a black bandana over her eyes as a rectangular-shaped pod floated next to her. The male had short white hair and wore black clothing as well as he wore a necklace with a lock on it, along with black shin-length boots and a black bandana over his eyes as well along with another pod floating next to him. The second female figure wore a torn-up version of the first female's clothing as she had long white hair, but no bandana, showing her blue eyes.

"Whoa…" the group said seeing the beings.
