The Heroes headed over to the factory called; Kremkroc Industries Inc where the Kremling Krew were building tons of machines all over the place and creating things.
"Man, 'o', man. How low can they go? This place is ruining the whole environment." Knuckles remarked, looking around the factory.
"This area used to be a lush environment until these crocodile morons built this factory over here. It's polluting the place." Diddy Kong grumbled.
"We can't let them get away with this. We have to go inside." Tails said.
They then saw robots roaming around inside the factory too.
"Look! I see robots!" Nana said.
"Looks like Dr. Eggman is here too. I had a feeling Egghead would be in this factory along with these crocodilian jerks!" Sonic said.
They then traveled through the factory, jumping over oil drums in their way and knocking out Gnawties that tried to attack them.
Just then floating metal creatures with magnets attached to their bodies floated in front of the Heroes.
"What are these things?" Tiff asked.
"According to the book. These are Magnemite, the magnet Pokemon." Meta Knight described.
Just then three Magnemite attached to each other flew into the view as well.
"Look at those three Magnemite attached to each other." Ribbon said.
"I've heard about these Pokemon. That's a Magneton. Magnemite's evolved form. Magneton is pretty powerful." Donkey Kong said.
The Magnemites then fired bolts of thunder at the Heroes.
"That's Thunderbolt, watch out!" Toad cried out.
Ness jumped into the way and used his PK Magnet which absorbed the electricity.
"Whoa. Nice going, Ness." Mystique Sonia said.
"No problem." Ness said.
"We were told to get rid of any intruders that set foot here." One of the Magnemites told them.
"We have orders from Doctor Eggman, Bowser, High Roller, King Dedede, and King K Rool to take down any Hero we come across." Magneton explained as it sent out a loud soundwave.
The loud noise was so irritating for the Heroes' ears as they held their ears.
"Ugh! Turn off the volume ! My ears can't take it!" Diddy Kong shouted, covering his ears to block out the noise.
"My eardrums are killing me!" Nana grunted as she got on her knees while covering her ears.
"That's Supersonic! It's a move that can confuse anyone who is hit by it." Mario grunted, struggling to speak while holding his ears.
Mighty Ray punched the Magneton away, ending the loud noise.
"Huh? How did the noise not hurt your ears?" Mr. No Hands asked.
"I had earplugs on. I use these to cover my ears so I don't have to keep hearing Mystique Sonia flapping that tongue of hers every once in a while." Mighty Ray snickered while looking at Mystique Sonia who wanted to punch his lights out for that comment.
The Magnemites then sent out a wave of stars at them, striking them back.
"Argh! Okay, that hurts." Manic grunted, being pelted by the 'Swift' attack.
"I know a way to beat them." Tails smirked as he invented a big magnet which proceeded to draw the Magnemites and Magneton over to it, due to them being metal and having magnets.
"Way to go, Tails." Amy said.
"This magnet should hold them off for long." Tails said.
The heroes traveled further into the factory.
Meanwhile on the other side of the factory, Dr. Eggman, Bowser, King Dedede, High Roller were placing some innocent animals inside the robots while working on some computer program.
"Excellent! The plan is working like a charm. Our creation is almost a success." Dr. Eggman smirked.
"Soon those heroes will be at the mercy of us, once these robots are through with them." King Dedede laughed as he turned to Escargoon. "Escargoon, is my creation almost ready?"
"Just about your Majesty. This robot will be the thing to get rid of Kirby once and for all." Escargoon evilly grinned.
"These robotic copies should be enough to destroy First Squad along with those Universal Heroes they teamed up with. Since the Zebra Brothers failed to dispose of them. Soon there won't be any hero left. And the kongs will be forced to work with me. Hahahaha!" High Roller manically laughed.
"Soon the world will be ours! Those heroes are gonna pay for what they did to us back at the Pokemon world. Bwahahahaha!" Bowser laughed.
"Yeah, we have a new member who has been revived by Nightmare. I made him a robot body. And his name is Xana." Dr Eggman, introduced as a robot with a weird symbol mark on its back, walked into the view.
"I thank you for giving me this robot body. I'm glad to be with fellow villains and intelligent individuals." Xana smirked.
"I can't wait to have a shot at Mario, Luigi and those Heroes." Said a young koopa with crazy blue hair.
"Me too, Larry. I wanna give that Mario a knuckle sandwich." Morton said.
"Don't forget about me, Morton. I wanna give those Mario Brothers and that Yoshi a peace of my mind." Roy smirked, looking forward to beating up Mario and Luigi.
"Me too. I wanna pay those plumbers back for besting me back at Yoshi Island! Hahahahaha!" Iggy crazily laughed.
"Patience, children. We have to wait until those heroes get here." Bowser said.
Just then the Zebra Brothers and Scratch and Grounder came into the room.
"Yo, Robotnik! Sonic and his friends are coming this way as we speak." Scratch informed.
"And First Squad are approaching here as well." Sparky Black added.
"Are the Lyoko Warriors with them too?" Xana asked while smirking.
"Of course, Xana. We saw them with the Heroes back at Monkey Mines." Sparky White said.
"Which means that Kirby is here too. Perfect." King Dedede smirked.
"Not only that, but they have a kid named Ness with them too." Coconuts informed.
"Wait a minute, Ness is here too!? Crud!" Bowser grunted.
"What's wrong, your grouchiness?" Kamek asked.
"Ness is a kid with powerful PSI powers. And he's really that strong. Trust me, I fought with Ness back at the Super Smash Brothers Melee and he almost defeated me with his psychic powers." Bowser explained.
"Looks like the Heroes are really stepping it up. Typical." High Roller scoffed.
"Indeed." said a crocodile with a crown on his head as he walked into the room. "My Kremling Krew really manufactured this place very well for our army and creation."
"Oh you bet, King K Rool. This factory is perfect for my Eggman Empire." Eggman bragged.
"Kremling Krew. I want you all to take out those Heroes as soon as they get to this room. I'll be back on my boat." King K Rool ordered.
"Sure bossssss. No worriessssss." one of the Kritters smirked.
"Bearstomp, I want you and your Bear army to crush those Heroes as well." High Roller said.
"My children. Go show those Heroes what's what and I'll give you all allowances." Bowser said.
"Oooooooooooh! Allowances! Yes, sir! Daddy!" All seven of the Koopalings said.
"I'll stay behind and show those Lyoko Warriors and their friends a thing or two." Xana said.
"Me too. I've got a bone to pick with that blue hedgehog and his friends." Dr. Eggman smirked.
"If you say so." King Dedede said as he and the remaining villains left the factory.
Back with the Heroes who managed to find Rambi the rhino who proceeded to ram through Manky Kongs and Kritters in the way.
They then came across more Oil Drums that were spewing out fire rapidly than the previous oil drums.
"Fantastic. Now what?" Green Link sarcastically asked with a frustrated sigh.
"Wait for it guys. We need to time how long the fire will spew out until it dies back down, okay?" Lin Chung advised.
The Heroes waited until the fire inside the oil drums died down. After a few minutes passed, the fire finally died down.
"Now's our chance, move!" Jeff yelled out.
Everyone quickly jumped from oil drum to oil drum, trying not to fall off.
Ulrich was having trouble jumping over one of them, due to his fear of heights giving him vertigo.
"Ulrich, you have to come on." Jeremy called out.
Everyone else tried to tell Ulrich to get his butt moving, but the kid was too scared to move. However, the fire was popping up a little meaning it was ready to spew out again.
"You have to hurry Ulrich! Or else you will be fried!" Diddy Kong cried out, not wanting Ulrich to get burned by the fire.
Kirby quickly inhaled Ulrich into his mouth away from the Oil Drum just as the fire spewed out again, saving his life. Kirby then spat out Ulrich.
"Ugh. Thanks for saving me, Kirby." Ulrich said as he got up from the ground.
"Are you alright, Ulrich? You were about to end up becoming fried chicken." Odd said.
"You must be careful next time, Ulrich." Yumi said.
The heroes then headed off to the rickety mine where we saw what appears to be a floating track.
"We must be very careful standing on this track. One mistake and we can fall off from a great height." Blue Link warned.
The heroes nodded as they did their best not to look down. Down below was the ground, but it seemed very low.
The heroes were halfway there to the exit. Just then they were attacked by a flock of blue bats.
"Aaaaah! Shoo! Go away!" Aelita cried out, trying to shoo the bats away.
"Get off of my pink hair!" Ribbon screamed out as one of the bats grabbed onto her hair.
"Those are Zubat and Golbat! They're bat Pokemon! And something must've spooked them to attack us! Hey, don't bite me there!" Zatch yelped as a Zubat bit into his arm.
"PK Hypnosis." Ness called out as he sent a wave which put the bats to sleep.
"Thanks, Ness. Those rats with wings almost ruined my clothes." Nana said.
The Heroes then left the mines and headed over for the lake which seemed pretty polluted.
"Oh no. Look at what those kremlings have done to the water. It's all polluted." Tiff cried out in horror.
"Poyo Poyo Poyo." Kirby sighed sadly at how green the water is now.
"Great. Now how are we supposed to swim across this pond? The frozen lake back at Gorilla Glacier was bad enough, but if we swim in this water, we're dead." Sonic grumbled.
Just then Sammo Whale along with the Sailor Brothers.
"Woo the Wise has invented a forcefield which protects Samm Whale and you all from the poisonous pond. Now let's go." Sailor Brother #1 said.
The Heroes went inside of Sammo Whale's mouth and dived underwater.
Sammo encountered Enguarde the Swordfish who tagged along with him.
The two sea creatures swam around in the lake, avoiding lots of spiky Minchers.
Just then a school of Bitesizes stood in their way.
"Hey, what's the big idea!? Move it or lose it!" Enguard growled.
"Not a chance, swordfish. We have orders to take you punks down!" Bitesize #1 said.
"Yeah. We don't wanna disappoint King K Rool and his new friends." Bitesize #2 said.
The piranhas then swam at Sammo and Enguard.
"We're under attack!" Sailor Bro # 2 announced.
"I guess we better take those guys down." Yoshi said.
"That's fine by me. I'm in the mood for some sushi today." Mario smirked as he swam through the blowhole along with his friends.
The Bitesizes noticed them.
"Heroes at 12 o'clock! Let's get them!" yelled one of the Bitesizes.
The Heroes have bubbles on their heads to help them breathe underwater.
Ness pulled out his baseball bat and whacked the Bitesizes away from him one by one.
Ben Tennyson smirked at the piranhas swimming at him.
"It's hero time." Ben said as he pressed his Omnitrix which transformed him into an alien-like angler fish named Ripjaws. "Ohhhh. This is gonna be tasty." Ripjaws smirked as he grabbed one of the Bitesizes and chopped it inside of his jaws, eating it alive. "Mmmmmmm. That tastes so scrumptious."
The Bitesizes widened their eyes in fear and swam away in panic.
"Yeah. Swim away you sea creepers." Ripjaws said.
Two Bitesizes were headed for Jumpy Ghostface who glared at them and threw his carrot grenades at them, making the fishes dizzy.
Mario and Luigi pulled out their hammer costumes, becoming Hammer Mario and Luigi.
Hammer Mario swam like a torpedo towards the Bitesizes, bashing many of them that lunged at him away with his hammers and kicked one away that tried to bite him from behind.
A few Bitesizes were heading for Luigi who screamed in fear at the sight of piranha fish coming after him. Out of fear; Luigi frantically tosses a barrage of his hammers at the Bitesizes, knocking them out with ease.
"Yaaaayyyyyyy! Go weegee. Go weegee. Go weegee." Luigi cheered as he danced in victory underwater.
One Bitesize took this as an opportunity to take a bite out of Luigi.
Diddy Kong noticed this and yelled: "Luigi, look out!"
Just then Enguarde stabbed Bitesize with his nose, saving Luigi.
"Don't be trying to bite my friends again." Enguarde told the fish off.
Paula bash many Bitesizes away with her frying pan.
Ulrich sliced up as many Bitesizes as he could with his katanas, following up with Odd using his Laser Arrows on them.
One Bitesize bit into Donkey Kong's arm, making him grunt in pain, but the ape managed to stay strong and ignore the pain by grabbing the Bitesize and yanking it off his arm and tossed it onto the other Bitesizes, knocking them all out.
The Bitesizes were no more.
"We sure showed those fishes not to mess with us." Odd smirked.
"Yeah. But I'm afraid that we've got bigger fish or should I say, bigger sharks to fry." Toad gulped, pointing towards a school of very hungry Chomps and Chomp Juniors staring at them.
"Uh ah! No way, I'm becoming shark bait!" Kiyo yelled out.
"Things are about to get a whole lot uglier." Tails groaned as he got out his mechanical electric blaster that he invented for himself and blasted one of the sharks, electrocuting and knocking it out.
"Whoa. Be careful, Tails. Water and lightning are not a good combination. And we could get fried." Purple Link warned.
"Whoops. Sorry." Tails said.
"Allow me." Meta Knight said.
"I'm with you, Sir Meta Knight." Sword Knight said.
"Me too." Blade Knight said.
The sharks swam towards the brave knights with the intention of eating them alive.
"Meta Knight, Sword and Blade, get outta there!" Tiff yelled in worry, not wanting them to become shark food.
Meta Knight, Sword Knight and Blade Knight sliced out every Chomp and Chomp Jr. with ease like sushi, defeating them.
"Wow. Incredible!" Cooper said.
"They did it. I was too scared to get out there. Those fish remind me of Naomi." Zatch shrieked.
"Who's Naomi?" Gwen Tennyson asked.
"Naomi is a mamodo girl who likes to bully and chase Zatch in her little car a lot. Which reminds me." Tia said silently as she remembers that she used to bully Zatch back at the Mamodo World.
The heroes reentered Sammo's mouth and swam through the poisonous waters and finally reached the shores.
"Thanks for the ride, Sailor Brothers and Sammo Whale, it was fun." Mr. No Hands said.
"No problem, Mr. No Hands, whenever you need us, we'll be by the kong waters." Sailor Brother #3 said.
With that Sammo Whale swam away.
The heroes headed inside of a cave.
The damp cavern looked a little crowded with Kritters, Klumps, Goombas, Koopas, Egg Pawns, and more Badniks, Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos, Sir Kibbles, Kankrelats, Krabs, Bears and Chameleon Tanks.
"Just what we need. Another ambush." Jeff grumbled.
"Why can't we ever get a break?" Paula complained.
"Wait a minute… Are those Kankrelats and Krabs!?" Ulrich gasped.
"Impossible. Please tell me t-that X-Xana isn't alive…" Jeremy shivered in fear at the thought of Xana being alive again.
"I thought we got rid of Xana a long time ago. There's no way he could be back." Aelita spoke in shock.
"Do you think that Xana was somehow revived by ENeMeE and the villains?" Yumi asked.
"Huh? Who the heck is Xana?" Yoshi asked, not knowing who Xana is.
"Xana is a very dangerous program and artificial intelligence created by my father Franz Hopper to be his assistant and protect me from harm. But Xana was infected by an unknown virus which made him turn evil and attempted to destroy all mankind. We've been fighting X.A.N.A for ages and he has superhuman strength." Aelita explained everything about Xana.
Everyone who doesn't know about Xana shrieks in fear at the thought of facing a very dangerous program that has superhuman strength.
"Here they come, attack!" Mario shouted, getting into a fighting stance.
The Kankrelats began firing at the Heroes, causing them to dodge the lasers with ease. The Buzz Bombers flew into the air and fired lasers at the Heroes as well. Sonic jumped into the air and destroyed every Buzz Bomber one by one with his spin dash.
One of the Bear army charged straight for Zatch and Kiyo.
"Rashield!" Kiyo shouted as Zatch summoned a very tall metal electrical wall which the Bears ran into, causing themselves to get shocked by the wall which knocked them out.
Toad kicked away a few Waddle Dees that ran at him and grabbed a Waddle Doo overhead and tossed him onto a Sir Kibble which was inhaled by Kirby who became Cutter Kirby.
Hammer Luigi started pounding away at the Kankrelat, but the creature wasn't dying.
"Argh! How do you destroy these things?" Luigi asked, barely avoiding a laser from the Kankrelat.
"You have to aim for the eye that looks like a target, Luigi." Ulrich said, stabbing a Kankrelat in the eye, destroying it.
Luigi looked at the eye of Xana on the Kankrelat.
"Boy, that's a scary symbol." Luigi spoke as he bashed the Kankrelat with his hammer, destroying it.
A few Krabs headed for Donkey Kong and shot lasers at the ape, but Donkey Kong did a somersault over the lasers and landed on top of one of the Krabs and punched a hole right through the crab monster, instantly destroying it.
"Looks like I've got bigger fish to fry or punch." Donkey Kong smirked as he went under the other giant mutated crab and ripped one of its legs off, causing the Krab to lose balance and fall to the ground for Aelita to use her Energy Fields at the Krab, defeating it.
"Hey, let me go!" Jeremy cried out, struggling to get out of the Kritter's grip.
"Ha ha ha! Not a chance, kid! You and your pals have been causing us enough trouble as it is." laughed one of the Kritters that held him tight.
"Yeah. So now we're gonna finish you off!" The other Kritter threatened.
"That's what you think, crocodile guy! Hi yah!" Yumi shouted as she roundhouse kicked the Kritter that held Jeremy in his chin, sending him straight to the wall and knocking out most of his teeth.
"Krittbin, are you alright!? Why you insolent little brat! You're not bad for a chinese girl!" Kritter growled as he got out his claws.
Yumi grabbed the crocodile by his neck and pulled him towards her face.
"Listen here, alligator face! I'm Japanese! Thank you very much!" Yumi snarled at the intimated Kremling as she punched the crocodile in his eye, making it as black as her shirt color.
"Whoa. Thanks Yumi." Jeremy said as he didn't expect for Yumi to brutally beat up the Kremlings.
"No problem. I'm not letting those crocodile freaks hurt my friends." Yumi said.
Tiff ran up to one of the Egg Pawns and punched them in the face, knocking one of them back. One Egg Pawn lunged at Tiff, only to be kicked in the face by Tuff, knocking it away as Tuff did an uppercut on more of the Egg Pawns, sending them into the ceiling.
"Ouch. Those robot's armor busted up my hands." Tuff groaned as his hands swelled up in pain.
A Waddle Dee jumped onto Diddy Kong, only for the spider monkey to retaliate by grabbing the round creature with his tail and tossing him into other Waddle Dees, knocking them like bowling pins.
Lin Chung kicked a Bear that tried to grab him in the chest before whacking it away with his staff. Two Bears tried to tackle Lin Chung at once, but the warrior jumped out of the way, making them crash into each other instead.
Hammer Mario bashed every Kankrelat that attacked him and destroyed them. But one of the cockroach-like monsters managed to shoot his arm, causing Mario to scream in pain.
"Ow!" Mario groaned as he held his arm where he was shot.
"Oh No, Mario!" Luigi cried out in concern for Mario.
Mario grew angry at the Kankrelat that shot him and bashed itm as hard as he could, destroying it instantly.
"Impact." Mario said.
"Hey, Mario, that's my line." Ulrich said.
"These Goombas are nothing but pushovers." Shadow Link scoffed, easily slashing the brown mushroom creatures into pieces. He then stepped on one Goomba, which of course instantly defeated him.
Green Link jumped on one Koopa Troopa which made the turtle hide inside of its shell. Green Link kicked the shell into four Koopas, knocking them away as the shell rolled towards Red Link who kicked it as well into the Chameleon Tanks, knocking a few of them away.
"He shoots, he scores!" Red Link cheered for himself as he did a pose.
Yoshi pooped out a few eggs and tossed them at a few Kankrelats, knocking them backwards from the impact of the eggs as Yoshi stuck out his tongue and swallowed one of the Kankrelats and trapped him in an egg and tossed it at the Kankrelats, destroying them.
"Yoshi Yoshi!" Yoshi cheered.
Manic taunted one of the Bears that were chasing him, angering the mammal as it tried to tackle him, but the green hedgehog stuck his foot out, causing the Bear soldier to trip and fall on its face.
Two Bears approached Amy and growled at her, but the pink hedgehog wasn't afraid of them.
"You fuzzy jerks better back off right away!" Amy growled as she ran at them with her Piko Piko hammer.
The Bears widened their eyes in fear as Amy smashed her hammer onto the Bears into the wall, knocking them out in a concussion.
"You ladies are really pretty. So you two shouldn't be fighting at all. Why don't you two just go on and pick some flowers or whatever you women do…" one of the Koopa Troopas spoke in a flirty way to Megumi and Tia.
Tia was beyond furious at how the Koopa spoke to her and Megumi in a sexist way as she immediately ran up to the fresh turtle and began choking the life out of him.
"YOU INAPPROPRIATE, DISRESPECTFUL, DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL EXCUSE FOR A TURTLE! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME AND MEGUMI AND ABOUT WOMEN LIKE THAT!? YOU MUST BE CRAZY TO BE A SEXIST AND EVEN CRAZIER IF YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD TALK TO ME RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE!" Tia roared in the Koopa's face, whose face was turning purple from lack of air.
Tia then threw the Koopa down to the floor whose neck was badly damaged as Tia kicked him in the 'you know where it hurts' area. The Koopa let out a high pitched scream as he held his batteries.
Two Chameleon Tanks fired their cannonballs at Popo and Nana who deflected the objects with their mallets and used their blizzard attack on them, freezing them in ice. Popo and Nana stand together back facing each other and hammer spinned into every Chameleon Tank that was in their way, knocking them out.
Poo jumped on top of one of the Klumps, but the general kremling quickly grabbed him and threw him off of him onto the ground and stood over him.
"You kids need to be put in time out." Klump smirked as he cracked his knuckles.
"You're in for a PK Flash!" Poo said as he sent out a green ball of energy from his head at the Klump, which exploded on him, knocking him away.
Yellow Kirby inhaled one of the Waddle Doos and became Beam Kirby.
Beam Yellow Kirby held his wand and fired beams of energy at the Kankrelats, instantly destroying most of them as one managed to dodge the beam at the last second and fired a laser at Yellow Kirby.
"Poyo poyo poyo!" Blue Kirby said, having witnessed the fight as he inhaled the laser that the Kankrelat fired and became Laser Kirby.
"What kind of power is that?" Tuff asked.
"He's transformed into Laser Kirby." Meta Knight said as he slashed a Krab into pieces.
Laser Blue Kirby jumped into the air and fired a wave of lasers at the Goombas, destroying most of them as the star warrior fired more lasers at the Kankrelat that tried to attack Yellow Kirby, destroying the creature.
Red and Green Kirby took out their swords and inhaled them, making them gain the sword ability as they slashed away many of the Bear army that tried to punch them.
Sword and Blade Knight charged at the Krabs while deflecting their lasers away from them and jumped onto their heads and thrusted their swords inside of the eye of Xana, which destroyed them.
"Laser Arrow." Odd said, firing a barrage of laser arrows at the Koopas, knocking them out.
The Crabmeats tried to pinch Ness, who managed to avoid the robotic crabs and fry them with his PK Fire.
A few Krabs approached Mighty Ray and surrounded him.
"Hmmm… I've always wanted to have fried crabs for lunch." Mighty Ray smirked as he swallowed a banana. "I'M MIGHTY RAY! FEAR MY EYEBALLS!" Mighty Ray fired a wave of electricity at the Krabs, instantly destroying them into pieces.
"Zakeruga!" Kiyo shouted as Zatch glowed yellow and fired a powerful beam of electricity at the Kritters, Sir Kibbles, Kankrelats, Klumps, Goombas and Koopa Troopas, frying and knocking them out.
Jumpy Ghostface blocked the cannonballs that the Chameleon Tanks were firing at him with his jump rope and tossed his carrot grenades at them, blowing them away.
One Bear managed to grab Tails by his two tails and smirked at the fox cub.
"Big mistake, teddy bear." Tails smirked back at the confused bear as he began spinning the bear around with his two tails, causing the mammal to get dizzy. Tails then knocked the Bear away with his tails. "That's why you should never grab a fox by his tail." Tails said as he crossed his arms.
"We're no match for them, retreat!" Koopa shouted as the minions ran away.
"Those cowards were wise to run." Knuckles said, destroying the last Krab.
"The villains from different universes and dimensions are really working together taking over the world as much as we are working together saving the world." Tails said.
"By the way, before we move on I wonder why hasn't Peach or Toadette come along with you, Mario?" Donkey Kong asked.
"The same goes for, Daisy." Zatch asked.
"Come to think of it. I wonder why hasn't William come along with you, Team Lyoko?" Ben Tennyson asked.
"William decided to stay back at the Kadic Academy." Ulrich said.
"Peach is back at the castle with Toadsworth. Toadette is with Princess Peach practicing on her music instruments. Daisy is back at her own castle being a princess." Toad explained.
"That's good to know. Right now, there's no time to lose. We have to get the bananas back and stop King K Rool." Donkey Kong said.
"Indeed. We better get going now." Diddy Kong said as the heroes left the cave.
They then headed towards another factory.
As soon as the Heroes entered the area the lights were flickering on and off.
"Hey, what's going on with the lights?" Fololo asked.
"It seems that someone is flickering the lights." Meta Knight said.
They then noticed something was lighting up in a room.
"What's that light coming from that room?" Kanchome asked.
"Let's go check it out." Toad said as the heroes walked into the room where the lights were coming from.
They noticed a yellow mouse creature with small red cheeks inside a power generator screaming in pain from being drained from its power.
The heroes were shocked at how cruel the Kremling Krew could be using a creature's energy to power up a factory.
"It's a Pikachu." Yoshi said.
"Aww. It's so cute!" Amy squealed at the sight of the creature.
"How could they do such a thing to innocent creatures like that?" Jeff gasped.
"We have to get that poor Pikachu out of that generator." Popo said.
"Allow me." Sonic snickered, being impulsive as usual as he ran to the generator.
"Sonic, wait, don-" Ness's warning was too late as Sonic was electrocuted by the generator and was thrown to the ground at the hero's feet. "‐t-touch it." Ness finished his sentence while groaning at the shock Sonic received.
Sonic grunted in pain from the electrocution he took from the generator.
"Geez, Sonic. Are you alright!? Yeesh! That's gotta hurt!" Knuckles remarked.
"Argh. Ouch. Okay, that was pretty reckless of me." Sonic said, slowly getting up from the ground.
"You have to be very careful, Sonic. Getting close to that generator is very dangerous." Tails said.
"But, we can't just leave that Pikachu suffering inside of that electrical generator. There's gotta be a way to get it out of there." Tuff said.
The generator started up again as Pikachu screamed in excruciating pain.
"Let us do it." Popo and Nana said as they used their blizzard at the generator stopping and freezing it in place.
Meta Knight then sliced the generator open, freeing the weakened Pikachu that was inside.
"Are you okay, little Pikachu?" Paula asked in concern as she approached the Pikachu and gently carried it.
"Pika Pika…" the Pikachu spoke weakly from being drained from its electricity.
Paula looked at its tail, noticing that it was a female Pikachu.
"We've got to heal this Pikachu fast. Relax little Pikachu, let me heal you up. PK Heal." Paula said as she slowly healed the Pikachu from its wounds.
"Wow. Paula. You really healed that Pikachu. Way to go." Aelita said, impressed with Paula's caring personality.
"Why wouldn't I? I wasn't gonna let the poor little cutie pie suffer." Paula said as she looked at the Pikachu. "Do you feel better little Pikachu?" Paula asked.
"Pika Pika Pika." The Pikachu nodded happily at how Paula helped it as she nuzzled Paula.
"You know, Paula? I think this Pikachu really likes you since you healed it from its pain." Mr. No Hands said.
"Really!? That's sweet! Hey, there Pikachu, would you like to become my Pokemon?" Paula asked.
The Pikachu nodded since she really likes Paula.
"Awesome! You're mine now! And I'll take good care of you no matter what!" Paula said happily that she has a female Pikachu by her side, since she loves cute creatures as Pikachu joined her side.
"Congratulations, Paula. You have a new partner!" Amy said as she and Paula high-five each other.
An alarm went off since Pikachu was freed from the generator as the sirens turned red and security cameras caught the Heroes and had laser guns on them too.
"Whoa… Didn't see that coming…" Green Link yelped at the sight of the laser guns.
"I think we'd better jiddy jip outta here while we still can!" Blue Link hollered.
The Heroes ran out of the room while avoiding the deadly lasers from the security cameras that are cutting through the floor.
"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! HEROES HAVE FREED THE POWER MOUSE FROM ITS GENERATOR! AND ARE IN FLOOR THREE!" Yelled the alarm in a female voice.
"Yikes! Those lasers could cut right through you if you're not careful!" Ben shrieked as he jumped over a laser that almost cut his leg off.
"I'll take care of the cameras." Meta Knight said as he jumped onto the camera and aimed it at the other security cameras and had it fire at them, destroying most of them.
"It's a good thing that I stole one of the plasma guns from one of the Kremlings during our previous battle." Manic smirked as he began firing at the security cameras. The green hedgehog then jumped in front of the camera and said; "SAY CHEESE!" He then destroyed it.
"Hurry up, everyone! The door is going into lockdown!" Diddy Kong yelled.
Diddy Kong was right; the door was indeed closing into lockdown and will trap the Heroes, if they don't hurry.
"We're not gonna make it!" Ribbon cried out, believing that they're gonna be trapped and captured by the Kremling Krew.
"Don't say that! I know we will!" Mighty Ray said.
Sonic and Ulrich managed to reach past the door first due to their speed as Donkey Kong made it too and held the door open with his strong muscles, but it looked like he won't be able to do so much longer, but the ape wasn't willing to let go and let leave his friends behind.
Knuckles made it through and decided to give Donkey Kong a hand as Tails and Ness managed to go through. The Ice Climbers freeze the top part of the door, keeping it from closing much quickly.
"Hurry guys! There's not much time!" Nana called after them.
Yoshi made it through along with Mario, Luigi and Diddy Kong. Zatch, Tia, Kanchome, Ponygon, Kiyo, Megumi, Parco, and Kafk ran through along with Ben, Gwen, Max and Cooper.

Toad was the last one, but tripped over the last step as the door was ready to close with him still behind.
"Hurry, Toad! You have to come on!" Ulrich yelled, not wanting to leave Toad behind.
"Go on without me! I'm not gonna make it!" Toad said, giving up.
"No way, we're leaving you behind." Aelita said, not wanting Toad to be left behind and be at the mercy of the Kremling Krew by himself.
But it was too late as the door closed, leaving poor Toad alone.
"NOOOOOO! TOAD! OPEN UP!" Mario yelled in despair as he struggled to open the locked door in vain.
"No….no...Toad...how could this happen?" Luigi weakly spoke as he couldn't believe that Toad was left behind.
"This is very bad…. We have to go back for Toad now!" Gwen said.
"I'm afraid we cannot open this door at all with our attacks. We must find another way in the room where Toad is in." Meta Knight said.
The Heroes were devastated and worried about poor Toad feeling very terrified being by himself in the factory filled with mean creatures as they hurried to the room to save Toad.
"Don't worry, Toad. I promise we'll save you." Lin Chung thought.
"NOOOOOOO! PLEASE! GET ME OUTTA HERE! I DON'T WANNA BE ALONE! GUYS PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE, GUYS! DON'T LEAVE ME ALL ALONE!" Toad cried out as he banged the locked door out of terror of being left alone.
"Aww. Is there anything I could do for you little mushroom boy?" said a familiar voice.
Toad slowly turned around and saw Xana, Eggman, Bearstomp, and the Koopalings who were grinning evilly at him while walking towards the terrified kid.
"Mario...guys...please help me." Toad slowly spoke with tears running down his face as he sat down in front of the locked door, terrified about what was about to happen to him as their shadows looming towards him.
I decided to add some more Pokemon creatures in this story and make Paula have a female Pikachu as her partner, since I think it's cute.
Uh-oh! Toad is left behind at the mercy of the villains. What do you think will happen to Toad? Find out in the next chapter.
