Cory's bus landed in a field in Texas next to Tail's plane. Cory started freaking out and jumped out of the bus, running toward the plane. He tripped and fell as soon as he reached it.
"Y-you're the real Tails!" Cory shouted, meeting one of his three true heroes.
Tails looked down at him, "um yes, who are you?"
"Um um um, I'm Cory-cory-cory in the house…" he said shyly.
"Shut up, you half brained mongolian," Espio said, annoyed.
Cory nearly faded, "Espio? You're alive? Where have you been."
"I ditched those losers who had combined with me and now I'm basically a god," he said, pulling out the golden emerald.
"Where did the other emeralds go?"
Espio rolled his eyes and put it away, "don't talk to me."
Cory shrugged as Alex Jones walked up, "I suspect these people are in with the reptilian uprising, I can sense it within them."
"You managed to find someone dumber than you, Cory, congrats," Espio sneered.
"Hey, Alex is brilliant. He helped me save Floria from a demonic invasion."
Espio rolled his eyes, "was there any proof that demons were even there?"
Cory thought back to his encounters. Alex had said his sword wouldn't have worked on the vampires, but he had never tried it. Cory reached into Alex's coat and pulled out the device he had used before on the vampire in the tunnel. He pressed the button at a nearby cow and watched as the device made ghostly noises and the cow slowly melted into the ground.
"Now, I know this looks bad, but at least I have some weapons!" Alex said nervously.
Cory's glare turned into a smile, "he's right, even if demons don't exist he still has weapons.
"Cory you idiot, you went to hell once of course they exist, this man is just a phony. Reptilians don't exist either, he's just making it all up," Espio said, glaring.
"It's ok, we still have Espio with us."
Espio raised an eyebrow as Cory led them to the bus, "I named the on board computer after you."
"Well you're going to need to rename it because we can't have two Espio's you worthless brat."
Cory sighed, "Espio, it looks like I'm going to need to rename you."
"Very well, master Cory, might I suggest you name me 'battle bus' because we about to partake in war?"
"Yes, that's your name it's good thanks."
Espio rolled his eyes, "where's that loser without any powers?"
"Oh you mean Newt? I don't know…"
Just as Cory said that, a man jumped on top of the battle bus. He was wearing the uniform of a Japanese ninja master, along with a pointed white hat. On his back was a golden katana that shone in the Texas light. He tossed aside his hat and revealed his long golden hair, it blew in the wind away from him as he jumped down, landing in front of the group. It was Newt, the new master of Japan.
"There he is," Cory said in a strange way.
Newt smiled at him, "Cory, man. We are finally reunited after so many months!"
Espio rolled his eyes, "It has only been a few days you weeaboo loser."
Cory stared in awe at his katana. It didn't glow like his own did, but it seemed to be extremely powerful. Of course it wasn't nearly as overpowered as Cory's, but it is powerful. Cory nodded at Newt, and turned around to look at the nearby town. This was it, the location of the Alamo.
"What's our plan, bros?" Alex asked, acting cool with his raspy voice.
"Hmm," Cory said annoyingly, thinking, "How many will there be?"
Espio rolled his eyes, "They're right there, you absolute retard."
Cory looked past the city into the fields to see a vast army marching in line toward the alamo. Behind the front line rolled catapults and other primitive military weaponry. The front line carried long obsidian spears. Cory nearly passed out as a wave of fear passed over him.
"T-those are the- the n-neo Aztecs?"
Espio smirked, "What did you expect, loser? They're the entire army of Central America."
"I think we can take them, I mean, I have this," Alex said, pulling out a radiation gun.
Newt backed away, "Hey man, is that even safe?" Alex shrugged.
"Ok, we ride the loser bus over the city, and drop down into the back of the army to take them by surprise. I'm assuming the bus has a cloaking feature?" Espio deduced.
"Indeed, I do. That would be the best course of action to take out the army, by my calculations," the battle bus said.
"This bus is the only competent thing I've ever met," Espio said.
Tails rolled his eyes, "While you guys were talking, I was able to rig the battle bus with weapons and other cool features from my plane. It should really live up to its battle bus name now."
Everyone turned to look at the bus. It was now a blue school bus with a hot air balloon on top of it. It had become the battle bus it was meant to be. Everyone loaded into the bus and it took off, flying over the Alamo. Suddenly, a monitor above turned to static. The signal adjusted and the president's face appeared.
"Ah, Cory. I see you've all regrouped and are now on your way to battle. Your mission is clear, I'm guessing. You need to first defend the Alamo from the Neo Aztec army, then you must move onward to the capital Tenochtitlan and take out their leader, Caesar. Then you'll need to rescue my daughter, but remember don't touch her."
Cory nodded, "I'm afraid of her."
The president rolled his eyes, "nobody cares, just do as I say. You'll need to use all you have learned from your adventures to win this battle. Also I won't be able to send the military to help because the Alamo means nothing to the whole of the United States. Goodbye." With that, the president faded away into static.
Cory nodded confidently and pulled out his katana, holding it up, "Who's with me?"
Newt pulled out his own katana and held it up next to Cory, "I am!"
Espio rolled his eyes, "I'm not doing this, you cucks."
Tails was too busy talking to the battle bus and Alex was standing next to the restroom, listening, "I think something is in there, probably an alien probe sent to lay eggs in our kidneys…"
Suddenly, a loud flush could be heard and out stepped Chris wearing a kimono. He had been hiding out in that room ever since they had left from DC. Around his neck was his medallion that allowed him to change into his hedgehog form.
"Chris? You're here to help us?" Cory asked.
"Yes, and you'll be happy to hear that I am fully rejuvenated and at the top of my game!" He shouted.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to go now!" Cory said as he walked toward the door. As it opened, the wind blew his hair behind him. He looked out into the vast armies below them. Cory swallowed his fear and jumped.
