Inside the ship of Zalgo, still trapped and faking being asleep, Frisk pondered about her worry over what was happening to Chara, the one that she (unconsciously) considered many times to be a friend. She regretted so much having a forced brainwash that made her try to kill her, and only reconcile a adventure later.
She tried to think about who to get help, without getting the attention of the Followers of Zalgo. However, going to the Zalgo Dimension alone could be called suicide. Frisk had to quickly contact the ditzy-but-secretly-smart cat girl, the girl with the magic horn, the blonde witch, the witty blue haired girl, and the three asians. The Amazons of the Galaxy.
Taking the chance one of the guards of Zalgo was reassembling some lost shards of her SOUL, she talked her way out of the trap with them. Surprisingly, they didn't seem that interested in the task Zalgo forced them to do, and let her go free without much questions. After a long, struggling walk with alot of pain on her feet, she began to make a call.
"Pucca, are you listening to me?...if so, we must meet on the Zalgo Dimension. The Time and Mind Stones are going to be delivered right there."
Meanwhile...
NiGHTS, Garnet, Amethyst, Steven and Cream looked out of the window of the spaceship to find out where the ship did exactly aim to go: the Zalgo Dimension. It's sky was dark grey, while the ground was solid back, and light red clouds circled the place. They sweared that, in a certain distance, they could see a castle. Before, they had their very own definitions of hell (for NiGHTS and the Crystal Gems, it was serving the opressive empires they used to make part of, for Cream, it was the Egg Empire that was thankfully twarted by Sonic years ago), but now, this place was definitively the closest comparison they ever had.
"W-what's...?", Cream said, horrified enough to not be able to complete her question.
"We are coming.", Garnet announced.
"...and there's no safe place for this thing to park off!", NiGHTS said, already holding on onto one of ship's parts. "Get ready, hold on into something!"
The group agrees, until the ship begins to shake and make them loose their grasps. Soon, Steven resorts to making one of his bubble shields to keep everybody safe inside, just like another time he winded up in a alien spaceship (but just with the Crystal Gems).
Soon, the ship collided with the ground, being reduced to 45% of it's former form. Steven's bubble popped itself out once he realized everyone was safe enough.
"Are you okay? I got alot to owe here.", NiGHTS said, after helping Amethyst and Garnet up.
"Please...don't tell me aliens are gonna put things on our chests and make us eat each other!", Steven said, with a not-so-serious feeling of horror.
"Steven. This is not a old movie.", Garnet tried to calm down the gem-boy.
"You know something will come either way, right?", Amethyst questioned.
And surely enough, the group was scattered in random directions after having a grenade thrown at them. Kebako, Liddell and Pucca, a trio of total stangers for the quintet, appeared.
Liddell pulled out her pumpkin umbrella and tried to cast out one of her offensive spells, but before she could do it, Cream commanded Cheese to attack her. NIGHTS, Amethyst and Garnet took off the task to try and fight Kebako, leaving a Steven to recover his consciousness, only to be surprised by Pucca.
"WOAH! Wait, wait, WAIT! Let's try to talk things out!", Steven pleaded as he began to crawl backwards from a Pucca lifting a red boxing-glove gloved hand towards his direction. He summoned his shield, as the boxing glove almost made contact with him.
A small soundwave left Pucca dizzy enough, but not before Kebako could hit Steven away with a double kick. "Stay down, Shield Boy!", she said.
"DIE, you tear-head thing!", Liddell said, as she tried to fetch off Cheese away from her...while wrapped thanks to one of Amethyst's whips.
Briefly, the ties turned around for the gem boy agains't Kebako, once Cream decided to help, but Kebako managed to knock them both down to the ground. At the same time, NiGHTS managed to pin down Liddell for sure, keeping her fixed with a foot, despite being extremely light. Kebako picked up the kids by their heads and pointed her blaster at them, while Garnet stood in the upper part of the triangle, with a mildly dizzy Pucca watching.
"Alright, stay whenever you are, and chill the fffREAK OUT. I'm gonna ask this only one time.", Kebako said, removing the holographic green visor from her eye, as Steven and Cream got wide eyes. "Where's Chara?"
"Yeah, I'll give you one better. Who's Chara?", NiGHTS asked back, never meeting this "Chara" before.
"I'll do YOU one better...WHY is Chara?!", Liddell comically joined in, much to Garnet's confusion.
"Tell me where she is, or the kids will become dust in a instant.", Kebako coldly said.
"Yeah, do it! You shoot them, I'll actually HARM her! Let's go!", NiGHTS said, with the inner fury each Nightmaren had inside them, as she shapeshifted the hand of the arm right next to Liddell so it could get sharp, dangerous claws. She already lost her brother, she wouldn't let her student and his friend be harmed.
"Do it, Kebako...I'm gonna handle this!", Liddell said, perfectly willing to be killed for the sake of the Amazons, but her phrase was just met with a disapproving noise of Pucca.
"She's right. You can't handle this.", Garnet stated.
"Don't wanna tell me where she is? Oh, that's fine!", Kebako said, with a bit more mean streak. "I'll kill the five out of you and beat the crap out of Zalgo myself! And I'm gonna start with the kids!"
"Uhhhh...hello?", Amethyst said, unimpressed. "You serve some sort of guy or something?"
"I serve some sort of guy? What, I am supposed to say? Jesus?", Kebako said, with a trollish face that made NiGHTS roll her eyes.
"Why are you even attacking us?", NiGHTS questioned, putting her fists on her hips.
"Are you even on Zalgo's side?", Cream fearfully asked.
"With Zalgo? The...HECK is wrong with ya, kid?", Kebako asked, actually disgusted over the thought of working with Zalgo. "I'm gonna kill that guy! He took my friend and...wait, who are you?"
"We are the Multiverse Initiative, ma'am.", Steven replied, a bit afraid of Kebako, who just reacted with a "Oh" of realization.
"Meta Knight and the Delta Warriors told about you!", Liddell remembered.
"So, you know Meta Knight?", NiGHTS said, as she was flooded with memories of the first days of the Multiverse Initiative's work.
"Yeah. A shortie, not that cool of a masquerade, had to saved, etc.", Kebako said, letting the kids go.
"...where he is?", Garnet asked, after a long while of silence.
