Chapter 19: Battle in the Mines
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Morgiana, Alibaba, Shulk, Reyn, and Sharla move along the track to hurry their way to get to Juju before Shulk's vision comes true and they move through the other side of the plain while fighting off Black Xetis in their way and they continue on through the plain until they reach a rocky area where they see a giant Black Xeti with four spiky tentacles on its body and has razor sharp teeth on its stomach and inside the razor sharp teeth is Juju being held captive.
"Juju!" Sharla cried as she runs up the rocky area. "Hold on! I'm coming!" Sharla said as she runs to the Black Xeti.
"Wait! Sharla!" Shulk yelled as his vision shows Sharla being impaled by a tentacle from underground by the Black Xeti and just then the Monado shows another symbol.
"Look, Shulk, a new symbol appeared on the Monado. I think you can save Sharla." Noel said.
"Maybe..." Shulk said as she slams the Monado on the ground and unleashes blue energy around Sharla who is still running.
While Sharla is still running the tentacle rises from the ground to get Sharla but she manages to dodge it.
"Sharla, are you alright?" Alibaba asked.
"What happened?" Sharla asked.
"The tentacles can rise from the ground at any second." Espio said.
"One false move and we're done for." Shulk said.
"Let's be careful!" Noel said as she and Shulk charge at the Black Xeti's tentacles before they rise from the ground and they slash at the Black Xeti's tentacles destroying them and the others destroy the other tentacles as they rise from the ground.
"Amazing! I didn't think you could do that." Sharla said.
"That's not me. It's the power of the Monado." Shulk said.
"And the light swirling around us is the Monado and all." Reyn said.
"Now, we have to defeat the Black Xeti to save Juju, but we'll have to avoid attacking its stomach. It can risk hurting Juju." Noel said.
"Let's do this then!" Ken said.
The Black Xeti known as Deathopus swings its two upper tentacles at the group who dodge the tentacle swiping and Noel triple slashes at Deathopus with her Keyblade followed by casting Blizzard on its upper body while Shulk slashes with the Monado and then Air Slash on the upper body but Deathopus sends its two lower tentacles into the ground and they rises under the group who avoid the rising tentacles and Ken shoots magic music notes at the upper body and then casts Thunder while Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol while Sharla shoots at the upper body with her weapon but Deathopus attempts to grab Sharla with its tentacles but Alibaba slashes at the tentacles with his knife and then uses his Djinn known as Amon to unleash flames while Morgiana delivers a powerful flip kick at the upper body but Deathopus swipes its tentacles at the two but Reyn slams his weapon at the upper body but Deathopus grabs Reyn with its tentacles but Espio slashes at it with his shuriken while Grace uses Tackle to strike but Deathopus' upper body but Deathopus sends its tentacles underground again and then rises from the ground to get the group but Knuckles delivers a drill punch at the upper body while Cream sends Cheese to attack the upper body while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs but Deathopus swings its tentacles again at the group.
Shulk activates the Monado's power to enhance speed allowing the group dodge quick and then uses Slit Edge at the upper body but Deathopus spin strikes with its tentacles at the group but Alibaba uses Metal Vessel and turns his small knife into a short sword and slashes at the upper body with it while Morgiana uses Battle Cry allowing Sharla to shoot at the upper body with her weapon but Deathopus slams its tentacles into the ground and they rise from the ground to get the group but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck the upper body while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb but Deathopus unleashes poison at the group but they avoid the poison and Grace uses Bite while Knuckles double punches and then delivers a headbutt but Deathopus swings its tentacles at the group but Espio throws four shurikens at the upper body while Carmelita shoots four homing electric shots from her shock pistol but Deathopusslams its two lower tentacles into the ground and they rise from underground and then spin strikes with its upper two tentacles but Reyn slams his weapon at the upper body while Ken bashes with his guitar and then casts Thunder but Deathopus keeps swiping with its tentacles but Noel uses Strike Raid to get the upper body and after her final Keyblade throw Deathopus is now on the ground.
"Is it down?!" Reyn asked but Deathopus recovers itself and then jumps to the upper rocky area.
"Dammit! It got away!" Ken said.
"No it hasn't! We can still go after it!" Noel said.
"Then let's get up there!" Shulk said.
The group climb up the rocky area to after Deathopus and later on they reach the top and confront Deathopus.
"You have nowhere to go now!" Alibaba said.
"This is the end of you!" Knuckles said.
Deathopus spews poison at the group getting them but Sharla uses her medical abilities and Cream uses Healing Potion to heal the group and Shulk slashes with the Monado and then uses Back Slash at the upper body but Deathopus swings its upper two tentacles at the group but they dodge and Reyn slams his weapon at the upper body while Knuckles delivers an uppercut at the upper body but Deathopus slams its tentacles at the group to strike but Alibaba slashes at the tentacles with his knife and then uses his Djinn Amon's fire power to strike the upper body while Morgiana delivers a strong spin kick at the upper body and then delivers a strong punch but Deathopus spews poison at the group again but Cream uses Healing Potion and then she and Cheese spin together to strike at the upper body while Banjo has Kazooie charge at the upper body but Deathopus sends its two lower tentacles into the ground and they rise from the ground but the group dodge and Grace tail whips at the upper body while Espio uses Leaf Swirl but Deathopus spews more poison at the group but Sharla uses her medical abilities again while Carmelita delivers a spin kick at the upper body while Ken unleashes magic music waves at the upper body but Deathopus spin strikes with its tentacles and then sends them all into the ground and they rise from the ground to get the group but Shulk activates the Monado's power again and enhances everyone's speed and they dodge the rising tentacles and Noel aerial slashes at the upper body and then delivers an aerial spin slash and then casts Fire.
Deathopus retaliates with rapidly striking with its tentacles at the group but Reyn slams his weapon at the upper body at the upper body while Banjo has Kazooie triple slash at the upper body but Deathopus slams its tentacles at the group but Morgiana delivers three strong punches at the tentacles and then flip kicks at the upper body while Knuckles delivers a drill punch at the upper body but Deathopus spews poison at the group but Sharla shoots at the upper body with her weapon while Carmelita fires three electric shots from her shock pistol while Espio throws three shurikens at the upper body but Deathopus swings its tentacles at the group but Cream sends Cheese to attack the upper body while Ken casts Fire at the upper body and then throws magic music bombs while Alibaba triple slashes with his knife but Deathopus spin swings its tentacles at the group but Grace uses Tackle to strike at the upper body but Deathopus slams its tentacles into the ground and they rises to get the group but Shulk slashes with the Monado and then uses Air Slash to strike at the upper body but Deathopus spews poison to get the group but Noel casts Cure on herself and the others and then slashes with her Keyblade and then uses Edge Slash on the upper body but Deathopus attacks with its upper two tentacles and then slams its lower two tentacles into the ground and rise up to strike but Shulk activates the Monado and then slashes with the Monado while Reyn slams his weapon while Sharla shoots with her weapon while Alibaba slashes with his knife and uses his Djinn Amon's power while Morgiana uses Battle Cray while Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol while Knuckles delivers a headbutt while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb while Espio delivers ninja kicks and then slashes with his shuriken while Grace uses Bite while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Ken casts Thunder while Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade and the group finish off Deathopus and Noel and Shulk deliver their slashes at Deathopus making it spit out Juju and then Deathopus disappears in dark mist.
Sharla runs to Juju.
"Juju! Are you all right?!" Sharla asked.
"Sharla...I'm sorry." Juju said and Sharla walks to Juju and hits him.
"I'm so glad you're okay." Sharla said hugging Juju.
"Hey! I think we just changed the future. No one died here." Ken said.
"Yeah, but...where do you think the Mechon are? I thought there was that boy you mentioned controlling it." Shulk said.
"Maybe we changed it more..." Cream suggested.
"No...I don't think something's right..." Shulk said.
"You're right something's not right!" A voice said and the group see a giant laser beam coming at the group but they dodge and they see a floating bot.
"Is that a Mechon?!" Reyn asked.
"What's not right is that you're not DEAD!" The voice said as the bot lands in front of the group and the bot reveals Porky.
"It's that damned brat again!" Ken said.
"I thought my Black Xeti pet would have devoured someone so stupid and killed a worthless Keybearing witch, but NO! You have to destroy it and ruin MY FUN AGAIN!" Porky yelled as he uses his bot to fire more lasers at the group but they dodge.
"Please don't anything bad!" Cream said.
"I do what I WANT!" Porky yelled as he turns to Juju and uses his bot to grab him.
"Juju!" Sharla cried as she runs to help.
"Nuh-huh! Take ONE more step and I'll make sure he won't breathe anymore!" Porky threatened as he uses his bot to crush Juju.
"No!" Alibaba yelled.
"You wouldn't...!" Carmelita said.
"Let him go!" Reyn yelled.
"I don't think so! You were lucky to defeat my Black Xeti, but luck NEVER lasts forever! I think I'll keep hold of this brat! You want him back alive?! Then get over to Colony 6. If you're too slow or won't even bother to show up, then I'll give this idiot two options: One, I'll let the Mechon devour him or two, I'll allow my Black Xetis and my Heartless to devour his heart!" Porky said.
"You brat! You'll pay!" Reyn yelled.
"You won't talk big for long! See ya around, losers!" Porky said as his bot starts to fly off.
"Sharla! Sharla!" Juju yelled while Porky's bot flies off.
"Juju..." Sharla stops talking.
"We have to get over to Colony 6 and fast if we want Juju alive." Alibaba said.
"Hold up! You're gonna bust into their base? We want a piece of them too." Reyn said.
"We'll help you get your brother back." Noel said.
"I...thank you all." Sharla said. "It has been a while and it's just...I never thought I'd go back to Colony 6 like this." Sharla said.
"You've lived in Colony 6 for a while, so how do we get there?" Knuckles asked.
"We can get to Colony 6 from this valley. Just follow me." Sharla said.
"Okay. I promise, we'll do everything we can to help Juju." Noel said.
The group follow Sharla through the valley and later on they come across a road that has lights and Sharla leads them through the road with the lights and then they make their way into a cave and enter it and then arrive at a road.
"So this is Colony 6..." Shulk said.
"It's like a fortress. Did people really live here?" Reyn asked.
"So much has changed. It's only been a month." Sharla said.
"Then we have to get in there and save Juju from that little twerp!" Ken said.
"Hold on. We can't barge in like that." Alibaba said.
"Alibaba's right. We'll have to find a different way in." Shulk said.
"We can get in through the mine. There's a massive ether deposit under the colony. The first settlers here built right on top of the mine. That's how we got to out colony. The mine is like a network of tunnels. It's much more complicated that the colony streets." Sharla said.
"Huh?" Knuckles asked.
"She means it's our best route if we want to remain undetected." Espio said.
"You're catching on." Sharla said.
"Great!" Reyn said.
"How do we get in?" Banjo asked.
"We go through the Drainage Outlet. It's just up ahead." Sharla said.
"Lead the way." Kazooie said.
The group follow Sharla to the Drainage Outlet by going through the grassy roads and later on the group arrive at the entrance of a hole.
"This is it." Sharla said.
"Then let's get in. We have to move if we want to save Juju." Noel said and the group enter the hole and make their way into a tunnel.
The group are now in the tunnel and start moving through it and start climbing up to the upper part of the tunnel and keep moving but Sharla stops them.
"Hold on." Sharla said and then points at something.
"It's the Mechon..." Shulk said.
"I can't believe they've taken the mine too! That means the Defense Force and residents are...oh, no...Juju!" Sharla said.
"Keep it together, Sharla! Don't start panicking now!" Reyn said.
"Reyn..." Sharla stops talking.
"You said it yourself; they couldn't have seized the entire area." Alibaba said.
"I bet you they're holed up someplace safe. Juju is alive and we're gonna find him." Reyn said.
"That's why we're here." Shulk said.
"We promised we helped find your brother." Noel said.
"You're right. It'll be fine. Reyn...Shulk...Noel...Alibaba...everyone...thank you." Sharla said.
The group continue on through the tunnel and arrive at a different area of the tunnel and later as the group continue to through the tunnel Sharla hears something.
"An Ether Rifle?" Sharla asked. "Gadolt!" Sharla yelled as she runs.
"Miss Sharla!" Cream said.
"Wait!" Noel said.
Sharla runs to a different part of the tunnel and she sees someone fighting against Mechon and it's a man
"Gadolt!" Sharla yelled.
"I know that voice...Medic, is that you?" The man asked but is shot.
"Otharon!" Sharla said as she shoots Mechon.
"That's our cue." Shulk said.
"Let's do this!" Ken said.
The Mechon attack the group but Noel slashes with her Keyblade while Shulk slashes with the Monado and then uses Back Slash but the Mechon strike back at the group but Sharla shoots with her rifle while Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol while Alibaba slashes with his knife but the Mechon keep attacking back at the group but Morgiana delivers powerful kicks while Espio delivers ninja kicks and then slashes with his shuriken while Grace uses Tackle but the Mechon strike back at the group but Knuckles triple punches and then delivers a headbutt while Banjo and Kazooie roll at the Mechon while Reyn slams his weapon to strike but the Mechon keep fighting back at the group but Cream sends Cheese to attack while Ken bashes with his guitar and then shoots magic music notes but the Mechon continue to strike back at the group but Noel uses Spin Slash and then casts Blizzard while Shulk activates the Monado and then uses Slit Edge and the group defeat the Mechon.
"Medic, why are you here?" The man named Otharon asked.
"Sir, isn't Gadolt with you?" Sharla asked.
"We have much to discuss. You should come with me." Otharon said.
"Sir." Sharla said.
Sharla starts explaining to Otharon about what has happened and has mentioned that Juju has been taken by Porky.
"So, Juju has been taken by some child..." Otharon said.
"Sir, what about Gadolt?" Sharla asked.
"Gadolt is gone." Otharon answered.
"Gone?! What do you mean gone?" Sharla asked.
"Gadolt and I planned a surprise attack to set everyone free, but we failed miserably. When I woke, Gadolt was nowhere to be seen. Only his rifle remained, but he is alive. I can feel it. We may not be joined by blood, but he's like a son to me. I'd know if he were dead." Otharon explained.
"Some of the people of Colony 9 got eaten..." Reyn said.
"Reyn!" Morgiana said.
"Oh, right. Sorry. Forget I said that." Reyn said.
"They don't kill Homs right away, but that boy you mentioned is no Mechon and threatened to kill him. We should make our time valuable." Otharon said.
"That's why we came here." Shulk said.
"Boy, that blade was once Dunban's. I'm not sure why you had it, but we're going to need its full power." Otharon said.
"You can count on me." Shulk said.
"My friends and I are helping too." Noel said.
"Very well then. We're heading to the Central Pit. It's where they take all the Homs they kidnapped. I'll bet that boy brought Juju over to them. If he's alive, then that's where he'll be. We're moving out." Otharon said.
Just then Shulk has another vision and it's about Otharon falling.
"What?" Shulk asked.
"Shulk, are you okay?" Noel asked.
"No. It's nothing." Shulk said.
"Let's go follow Otharon. Let's just hope Juju is okay." Alibaba said.
The group follow Otharon through the mining base but then Shulk stops and thinks.
"Shulk, what is it?" Noel asked.
"It's just that...I had another vision. Otharon falls into an ether river saying 'Gadolt, Juju, this is for you.' I don't know what it means though. Could it mean that Juju is already dead or is he going to get killed? That could be why Otharon..." Shulk stops talking.
"Shulk..." Noel stops talking.
"I don't know what it means. If we keep moving, is Otharon going to die?" Shulk asked.
"Shulk, Noel, what's goin' on?" Ken asked.
"Sorry. We're coming." Noel said as she and Shulk go with them.
"Wait!" Shulk called making everyone stop.
"What is it, Shulk?" Reyn asked.
"This battle is for my people. If you can't handle it, then drop that weapon and go home." Otharon said.
"That's not it. I...it's just..." Shulk stops talking.
"Out with it!" Otharon said.
"Listen, maybe we shouldn't just rush in headfirst." Shulk said.
"What?" Otharon asked.
"But we got this far." Knuckles said.
"We should observe the Mechon and plan our attack afterwards." Shulk suggested.
"You insolent...! We don't have that kind of time! You don't know a damn thing about these machines! I have observed their movements. I've planned this attack for a month. I know full well what's going to happen to my brothers and sisters!" Otharon said.
"But..." Noel stops talking.
"We're going. Fall in, Medic!" Otharon said.
"Yes, sir." Sharla said as Oathron leaves.
"Okay, Shulk, what's going on?" Alibaba asked.
"I..." Shulk stops talking.
"A vision again? Let me guess, another death?" Reyn asked.
"Yeah." Shulk answered.
"I knew it. The Shulk I know doesn't just chicken out for any old reason." Reyn said.
"This vision...is it like before?" Sharla asked.
"Kind of...I saw an underground ether river and Otharon..." Shulk stops talking.
"An ether river...You know what, that sword lets you see the future. All that power and you still keep getting it wrong." Reyn said.
"Better to use my brain than my fists." Shulk replied.
"Look, man, I may rush in headfirst, but at least my head's useful for something." Reyn said.
"I get the idea." Shulk said turning away.
"I'm not done. You're useless on your own, Shulk! That's why we're here." Reyn said.
"Reyn, I..." Shulk was cut off.
"Next time you have a vision, tell us. We bear the burden together, as a team. You have a vision you don't like, we'll change the future together. Got it?" Reyn asked.
"Got it." Shulk answered.
"Say it like you mean it!" Reyn said.
"I got it! I'll tell you next time." Shulk said.
"He's right, Shulk. You all helped me saved Juju. I know we can do it again. I believe in all of you." Sharla said.
"Thanks." Shulk said.
"They're right. I know you'll change what happens. Besides, you didn't see Juju and the others dying, right?" Noel asked.
"No. There's still hope." Shulk said.
"And we'll help how we can." Banjo said.
"Let's hurry after Otharon." Espio said.
The group arrive at the central terminal and they hurry their way to Otharon but later on they come across a giant metal door in the way.
"We should move this damn thing." Ken said.
"How though?" Banjo asked.
"We'll have to find a switch to open this door first." Espio said.
The group go through the tunnel to find the switch to open the door and they later on arrive at a different area and Noel finds a lever and pulls it opening something and they see the door being opened and so the group make their way back to the door and it's now opened and the group go into a different place.
"We're here. The Central Pit." Sharla said.
"But where is anyone? I don't see them." Knuckles said.
"We'll take that lift." Sharla said.
"Sounds goo to me." Alibaba said.
"Yeah! I'm ready to smash some Mechon!" Reyn said.
"Juju...Otharon...hold on." Shulk said.
The group make their way to the lift and it takes them downward and they go through the metal parts of the pit and they later on find another lift and it takes them downward and they climb down and they cone across more metal parts and they see something going down and so the group go down with it and reach the lower part of the Central Pit and they climb down the pit again and they find a third lift and it takes them to lower levels of the pit and they keep moving but then a claw summons Mechon and they attack the group but the group defeat the Mechon and continue on but just then Black Xetis appear and attack the group but the group defeat the Black Xetis and continue on and they take another lift to send them more downward and Sharla notices something and sees blood on the ground.
"No...they're gone...whose blood is...oh, no!" Sharla said.
"Don't tell me..." Alibaba stops talking.
"Well, well, well, look who finally showed up! I was starting to worry that you losers were never gonna come! I was getting BORED!" A voice said and the bot comes and it's Porky.
"You...!" Ken yelled.
"Juju and the others! Tell me where they are!" Sharla demanded.
"Hehehehehehe! You want that brat so badly? Don't worry, my Black Xeti is keeping him company!" Porky said pointing at Juju being held captive by a giant Black Xeti that looks like a giant black robot with two drills for hands.
"Juju!" Sharla yelled.
"Calm down, hag. He's still alive...for now! The other idiots, I allowed the Mechon to devour them all!" Porky said.
"You insolent little...!" Otharon said.
"Ya know, I've been thinking; I kinda want to see you guys die, but there are two ways to go about it. One, I'll have the Mechon eat you all or two, have my Black Xeti destroy you! So many ways to choose, so little time. Or maybe I should just have my Black Xeti destroy that brat!" Porky said.
"You evil monster!" Noel said.
"You sick brat!" Alibaba yelled.
"Gadolt...the others..." Sharla stops talking. "I swear I'll scrap each and every one of you!" Sharla yelled as she shoots the Mechon but more Mechon come at her.
"Stand behind me!" Shulk said as he slashes at the Mechon with the Monado.
"So much for those pile of scrap. Black Xeti, skewer them!" Porky commanded as the Black Xeti attacks the group.
The Black Xeti known as Killer Driller attacks the group with its drills but the group dodge the drill attacks and Shulk activates the Monado and then slashes at Killer Driller with the Monado followed by Air Slash but Killer Driller charges at the group while spinning its drills at the group but Morgiana uses Battle Cry to stun Killer Driller allowing Grace to use Tackle to strike while Knuckles double punches and then delivers a headbutt but Killer Driller jumps into the air and then dives down at the group while drilling at them but the group dodge and Sharla shoots with her rifle while Carmelita shoots four electric shots from her shock pistol but Killer Driller attacks the group with its drills again but the group dodge the drills and Reyn slams his weapon at Killer Driller while Espio delivers ninja kicks and then slashes with his shuriken and then delivers a palm strike while Alibaba uses his Djinn Amon's firepower to strike at Killer Driller but Killer Driller spin charges at the group with its drills but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs at Killer Driller while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb but Killer Driller shoots its drill hands at the group who dodge but the drill projectiles home in on the group but they keep dodging the drill projectiles until the drill projectiles return to Killer Driller and then jumps into the air again and drill dives at the group who dodge and Ken throws magic music bombs and then casts Fire but Killer Driller charges again while spinning its drill but Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade and then casts Thunder striking Killer Driller.
Killer Driller retaliates by unleashing drills from its robotic body and sends the drills at the group who dodge the shooting drills and Sharla shoots with her rifle at Killer Driller while Espio throws four shurikens but Killer Driller drill dives at the group again but the group dodge and Reyn slams his weapon at Killer Driller while Knuckles delivers a drill punch and strikes but Killer Driller charges at the group while spinning its drills at the group but Morgiana delivers a powerful kick while Grace tail whips but Killer Driller fires its drill hands at the group and they home in at the group who try to avoid the drill hands but Ken unleashes magic music waves to get the drill hands and then shoots magic music notes at Killer Driller but Killer Driller unleashes drills at the group but Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol while Alibaba triple slashes with his knife followed by a roundhouse slash but Killer Driller drills on the ground creating a quake on the ground but Cream sends Cheese to attack Killer Driller while Banjo has Kazooie charge at Killer Driller but Killer Driller attacks with one drill hand and then delivers a slam with its other drill hand on the ground creating another quake but Shulk slashes with the Monado and then uses Back Slash while Noel aerial slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers an aerial spin slash with her Keyblade getting Killer Driller but Killer Driller charges at the group while spinning its drill hands and then drill dives at the group who dodge the drill diving.
After dodging the drill diving Killer Driller fires its drill hands at the group who dodge but the drill projectiles home in at the group who continue to dodge the drill projectiles but they continue to home in on the group until they return to Killer Driller and then slams its drill hands on the ground and creates another quake to stun the group but Reyn hammers his weapon at Killer Driller who strikes back with its drill hands at Reyn but Alibaba strikes at Killer Driller with his knife and then uses his Djinn Amon's fire power to strike Killer Driller but Killer Driller unleashes more drills and shoots them at the group who avoid the shooting drills and Sharla shoots with her rifle while Morgiana delivers a strong flip kick while Knuckles triple punches and then delivers an uppercut but Killer Driller strikes with its drill hands and then slams his drill hands on the ground but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Cream and Cheese spin together and strike at Killer Driller who retaliates with a spin attack with its drill hands but Carmelita pistol swipes while Espio uses Leaf Swirl while Grace uses Bite but Killer Driller drill dives at the group but they dodge the dill diving and Ken casts Blizzard and then unleashes magic music waves but Killer Driller fires its drill hands at the group but Noel deflects the drill projectiles sending them back at Killer Driller who charges with its spinning drill hands but Shulk activates the Monado and then uses Slut Edge while Noel uses Strike Raid to strike at Killer Driller who slams the ground with its drill hands and knocks the group down.
"Hehehehehehe! Yeah! That's what I WANT to see! Suffer, suffer, SUFFER!" Porky said.
"Shut the hell up, you damned little bastard!" Ken yelled.
"This is not over yet!" Shulk said.
"We can still win this..." Noel said.
"I don't think so! Finish 'em off!" Porky commanded and Killer Driller attacks the group with its drills.
The group dodge the drill attacks but Killer Driller charges at the group with its drill hands but Sharla shoots with her rifle while Carmelita fires electric shots from her shock pistol while Banjo and Kazooie roll at Killer Driller but Killer Driller unleashes a giant drill on its back and then charges at the group with its giant drill at the group who dodge but Killer Driller keeps charging at the group but Morgiana leaps at Killer Driller and then delivers a strong stomp at Killer Driller's head making it dazed allowing Alibaba to triple slash with his knife and then delivers a rising slash but Killer Driller recovers itself and slams its drill hands on the ground to get the ground but Reyn slams his weapon to strike while Knuckles triple punches and then delivers a headbutt but Killer Driller drill dives at the group but they dodge and Espio throws three shurikens while Grace tail whips but Killer Driller unleashes drills and shoots at them but they avoid the shooting drills and Cream sends Cheese to attack while Ken bashes at Killer Driller with his guitar and then casts Thunder but Killer Drill charges at the group with its giant drill again but the group avoid the charging giant drill but Killer Driller jumps into the air again and then dives at the group with its giant drill but the group dodge the giant drill dive but Killer Driller's landing creates a huge quake to stun the group but Shulk slashes with the Monado and then uses Air Slash while Noel slashes with her Keyblade and then uses Spin Slash but Killer Driller shoots its drill hands at the group but they dodge but Killer Driller slams its drills to the ground and creates another quake but Sharla shoots with her rifle while Reyn slams his weapon while Shulk slashes with the Monado and then uses Back Slash while Alibaba uses his Djinn Amon's firepower to attack while Morgiana delivers strong punches and strong kicks while Carmelita delivers a spin kick while Knuckles delivers an uppercut while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb while Espio slashes with his shuriken and then delivers ninja kicks while Grace uses Tackle while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Ken shoots magic music notes and then casts Fire while Noel uses Strike Raid and the group finish off Killer Driller making it release Juju and then it breaks down while disappearing into dark mist.
"Juju!" Sharla said running to Juju.
"No you don't, hag!" Porky yelled as he uses his bot to pick up Juju. "I'm sick of this! I'll kill the brat myself!" Porky said.
"No...!" Noel yelled.
Just then Porky's bot is punched by a mobile bot and Otharon is driving it.
"You like pain, kid? Then take THIS!" Otharon yelled punching Porky's bot making it let go of Juju.
"Juju!" Alibaba yelled.
"You have to save Juju!" Otharon said.
"Otharon, don't do it!" Shulk said.
"Hurry up!" Otharon said as Sharla goes for Juju.
"Even, if we save Juju, what then? Otharon's gonna be..." Shulk stops talking as he remembers what Reyn said.
Flashback:
"If you see a vision you don't like, we'll change the future together." Reyn said.
Flashback End.
"Change the future..." Shulk said as he sees a crane. "That's it! You guys get Juju!" Shulk said running for the crane.
"Shulk!" Noel yelled but Shulk keeps running for the crane.
Otharon's mobile bot pushes Porky's bot against a wall.
"Stupid old fart! You can't defeat me!" Porky said.
"I can do THIS!" Otharon replied as he uses his bot to punch at Porky's bot who counters the punch.
"I'm NOT dying here!" Porky said but his bot is sliding down.
"Let's see if your bot can withstand an ether river!" Otharon said.
"Oh, we'll find out, but I'm NOT goin' down with it!" Porky said.
"Juju! Wake up!" Sharla said.
"Otharon won't make it..." Noel said as she runs to Otharon's bot.
"Noel, wait!" Alibaba said running after her.
"Fall, you damn brat!" Otharon said and Porky's bot falls into the ether river but Porky manages to escape from his bot and is riding on a floating craft.
"You destroyed my bot, but I can build a new one! As for you...well, I'll let you have a fun dip!" Porky said.
Shulk begins to operate the crane and uses it to grab hold of Otharon's bot to prevent him from falling.
"Good shot, Shulk!" Reyn said.
"Boy..." Otharon said.
"We can change our destines. You won't die here, Otharon...not today." Shulk said.
"I'll be the judge of THAT!" Porky said as he fires a laser from his craft at the crane's holder.
"No!" Noel said.
"Otharon, get out of there, quick!" Shulk said.
"It won't be long now, my friends, but not before. Gadolt! This is for you! This is for the people of Colony 6!" Otharon said as he shoots at Porky.
"Nice try, old fart!" Porky said as he shoots at Otharon's bot making Otharon fall out.
"No...that's not supposed to happen!" Shulk said as Otharon falls into the ether river.
Just then Reyn grabs Otharon and saves him.
"That was close!" Reyn said.
"Thank you." Otharon said and the two get back on land.
"No! Why won't you idiots PERISH?!" Porky demanded as he shoots at Reyn.
"No you don't!" Alibaba said as he charges to stop Porky but his shot gets Alibaba and he gets knocked back into the pit.
"Alibaba!" Morgiana yelled as she runs to Alibaba who is falling into the ether river.
"No!" Shulk yelled.
"Oh, no!" Reyn yelled.
"Alibaba!" Sharla cried.
"I have to help him!" Noel said as she runs to save Alibaba.
"Aladdin...I don't know where you are, but...I guess you won't see me for long..." Alibaba said as he continues to fall.
Just then Noel grabs Alibaba's arm and stops him from falling.
"N-Noel..." Alibaba said.
"I got you!" Noel said.
"Alright, Noel!" Ken cheered.
"That was close..." Cream said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
Just then Noel starts to lose her stability on the ledge and begins to fall but Morgiana grabs Noel's other arm.
"M-Morgiana..." Noel said.
"You saved Alibaba and now I'll save you!" Morgiana said and they get back on land.
"Hmph! Fine! Have your fun living, but you'll die soon anyway! You haven't even found the Keyhole so this place can..." Porky stops talking as something shining.
"What's that?!" Reyn asked.
Noel looks up at a wall of the mine and sees the Keyhole appearing.
"Mine!" Porky said.
"No way, small fry!" Ken yelled as he casts Thunder at Porky.
Noel quickly uses her Keyblade to lock the Keyhole and saves Bionis from the darkness.
"No! I wanted to DESTROY this place! Whatever! I already got what I came for! The Heart Crystal! See ya around, losers!" Porky said as he leaves.
"Noel, what was that?" Shulk asked.
"Oh, I..." Noel was cut off by Sharla.
"Juju...you're safe now." Sharla said.
"What did I tell you, Shulk? We can make anything happen." Reyn said.
"Yeah. You were right." Shulk said.
"A boy who can change the future. I stand corrected. You all did a great deed here today." Otharon said.
"I didn't really do anything. I couldn't have done it without my friends." Shulk said.
"Your vision saved me, but what of the others? What happened to Gadolt?" Otharon asked.
"..." Shulk doesn't say anything and shakes his head.
"I see..." Otharon said and he turns to Sharla. "Sharla, take this. Gadolt would have wanted you to have it." Otharon said giving Sharla a rifle.
"We should get to camp." Reyn said.
"Juju's gonna need some medical attention." Carmelita said.
"There's a freight elevator on the next level. From here, it's an easy route out of the mine." Sharla said.
"As long as it works." Ken said.
"You guys go on ahead. We're gonna have to...go." Noel said.
"What do you mean by that?" Reyn asked.
"Well..." Noel stops talking.
"We have our own journey to go to. Now it's time for us to move on." Espio said.
"So, you all have to go then?" Sharla asked.
"I-I'm sorry, but..." Noel was cut off by Reyn.
"Hey. Don't worry about it, Noel. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? Besides, you've done much for us. Thanks." Reyn said.
"Yeah. What's your journey anyway?" Shulk asked.
"Oh, I'm trying to find my brother. We got separated after our home was raided..." Noel answered.
"Your home was raided too?! You lost your brother because of that? Sorry about that..." Reyn said.
"I'm not giving up. I'm still finding him." Noel said.
"I know you will. You can do anything you set your mind to, Noel. You're a brave a strong girl. Never forget that." Shulk said.
"Thank you, Shulk." Noel said.
"We should get going." Otharon said.
"Yeah. Hey, good luck on your journey, Noel." Reyn said.
"I hope you find your brother." Sharla said.
"Do you think we'll meet each other again?" Noel asked.
"'Course we're gonna meet again. What makes you think we won't?" Reyn asked.
"Oh, right..." Noel said.
"We'd better get going." Banjo said.
"Yeah. Take care, Shulk, Reyn, Sharla." Noel said.
"You too, Noel." Shulk said.
"Morgiana..." Alibaba stops talking.
"Yeah." Morgiana said.
"Huh?" Noel asked.
"Morgiana and I decided something when you said you have your own journey to go to. Morgiana and I are coming along." Alibaba said.
"Why?" Noel asked.
"Well, for starters, you saved me from falling to my death. That, and I want to find my friend, Aladdin. Let me and Morgiana come with you and we can all find who we're looking for." Alibaba said.
"Okay. We'll do that together." Noel said.
"Thank you, Noel." Morgiana said.
"You guys are okay with that, right?" Alibaba asked.
"You think I wouldn't be?" Sharla asked back.
"I'm sure Fiora would of been proud your decision, Morgiana." Shulk said.
"Thank you. I hope we meet again." Morgiana said.
"You take care of Juju." Alibaba said.
"I will." Sharla said.
"Goodbye." Noel said.
"Yeah. See you around, Noel." Shulk said.
The group go on separate ways from Shulk, Reyn, and Sharla and they go further in the mine.
"Okay. That's another Keyhole sealed from those Black Xetis and the Heartless." Knuckles said.
"Not to mention, we showed that brat a thing or two." Ken said.
"Now, we have to continue on." Noel said.
"So, where are we going to next?" Alibaba asked.
"I'll show you." Noel said as she uses her Keyblade to create a light portal and it amazes Alibaba and Morgiana. "Let's go." Noel said as she enters the light portal and the others follow into the light portal before it disappears.
