Act II: The Big Five
Chapter 1: A Great Misunderstanding!
Time before prologue:
At the middle of a forest, a strange pair stand in a crossroads of a path. The first one is a winged fiend with a bony/ muscle appearance. The fiend has two horns on its head and green eyes. The other is a teenage girl wearing dark blue, pink clothing and boots with a pink bow on her back her. She has a phone attach to her side and has blonde hair.
At this moment, the fiend is irritated with the girl. He made the mistake to let her join him a couple weeks before and he almost reach his boiling point. One more from her and I will give her a shocker. The fiend thought as he looks around the trail.
The girl, bored from standing around, sits on the ground and pouts. "Why are we here?" the girl said, "I thought we were looking for Mana."
The fiend looks at the girl with an annoyed presence. "We are." the fiend said, "But we are here to meet up some friends."
The girl scoffs. The fiend just roll his eyes and thought, Why me? I stand with her attitude for the last two weeks. I'm losing my patience with her.
The fiend looks around the paths and sees two distant humanoid figures. The first figure is yellow with magnet feature on its head and hands mostly spherical. The other is gray with a more straight appearance and also has some magnets on its body. The gray figure also has a sword and shield behind on its back.
The girl sees them too and says, "Is that all we've been waiting for? A couple of magnet warriors?"
"They are better than nothing Gagaga Girl." the fiend replied, "But you're right about one thing, a couple of magnet warriors."
"Yeah." the girl said before her eyes went open and turns to the fiend in anger, "I told you already not to call me by my title but my real name Tori, Summoned Skull!"
Summoned Skull smiles. The only positive thing from partnering with Tori is calling her by her title than her name. She gets mad and annoyed easily by that but it is his way of getting back at Tori. But one thing that she did bring up: Why there is a couple of magnet warriors. Where's the third?
The two magnet warriors walk up to the pair. The gray magnet warrior beep toward Summoned Skull. Summoned Skull shook his head as he understands the magnet warrior's beeps.
"I understand your struggle to find Mana, Alpha." Summoned Skull said, "We're facing the same struggle. Where's Gamma?"
The yellow magnet warrior, known as Beta, beeped in response.
"So he saw something in the distance while he was scouting on the air." Summoned Skull said, "And he want to check it out."
Alpha beeped to Summoned Skull. "So you two think this something is involved with Mana?" Summoned Skull sighs and turns to Tori. "Well I guess we must follow the lead."
"Oh goody, more walking." Tori pouts as she gets up.
Alpha and Beta sees Tori and screams beeps to Summoned Skull. "I know. I know." Summoned Skull says as he starts walking. The pair starts following the magnet warriors to a surprising encounter.

"That pink thing in the sky." said a troubled Gauntlet Launcher looking at a object in the sky, "It bothers me."
"It bothers me too." Excalibur said as he and the rest of the group sees the a pink figure flying in the skies.
The Jake and his group was walking down the path hoping not to run to Number 96: Dark Mist' hunting group or Brron's party. They even stay off course for a day to make sure their enemies don't figure out what they are doing. Jake may regret making the decision but he can't let Dark Mist or Brron get Mana or his friends for that matter. But now he fears he and his friends might run into more trouble.
"It's flying around and around." Zubaba General said, "What the hell it's doing?"
"Lost sense of direction." Excalibur said.
"Maybe its looking for something." One-eyed Skill Gainer said.
Winged Kuriboh sees the figure and cries "kuri" to Jake. Jake notices Winged Kuriboh and says, "What's wrong Winged Kuriboh?" Winged Kuriboh points to the figure and Jake looks at that direction. We all can see it, Winged Kuriboh. Jake thought, Do you know that thing?
At the sky, the pink humanoid figure looks at the group. The figure has magnet features and two wings with each of a single letter each: S and N as well as a S on the body. It sees the furball with wings pointing to it. The pink figure, Gamma the Magnet Warrior, knows the Kuriboh is and belongs to. It needs to why its with these biengs. So Gamma decided to skydive to the group.
Once the group sees the figure skydive to them, they know what coming.
"Don't worry guys," Gigo said as he cracks his knuckles, "Theres only one of it and seven plus three of us."
"Wait, we can't just kill it." Jake said.
"I didn't say we are going to kill it." Gigo said as he gets in the trajectory of the pink figure, "I'm going to catch it."
"Catch that thing?" Gauntlet Launcher said, "You got as much chance as a….."
Before Gauntlet Launcher finished what he said, the pink magnet warrior reach the group heading towards Gigo. But Gigo grabs the wings of the magnet warrior before it can reach him. He holds the magnet warrior in place. But the magnet warrior flies back and Gigo lets go. The magnet warrior lands and looks at the group, especially at Winged Kuriboh.
"So what do we do?" Zubaba General whispered to his comrades in order to make sure the magnet warrior doesn't want him.
"Umm….say hi?" Jake replied silently.
"Thats dumb!" Gauntlet Launcher yelled but was shush by the others.
"It never hurts to try.' Skill Gainer said.
"Until you get killed." Gagaga Cowboy finished as he cocks his guns.
Jake walk to the magnet warrior. The magnet warrior is ready for anything but this. "Hi." Jake said as he waves his hand. The magnet warrior was dumbfounded.
Before anything was said, an electric bolt is shot from the woods and heads for Jake. Jake dodge the blast and jumps back to his group.
"What the hell was that?" Zubaba General said as he pulls out his blade.
"I'm that." said Summoned Skull as he comes out of the forest with the other two magnet warriors. Summoned Skull doesn't know what's going on but he can get a better picture if he knows more.
"Who are you?" Summoned Skull as Gamma flies next to him and its two magnet partners.
"We're just travelers looking for a final destination." Skill Gainer says as Winged Kuriboh keep budges on Jake.
"I see you have our furry friend." Summoned Skull said.
"This Winged Kuriboh is yours?" Jake said, "I thought it was Mana's."
Summoned Skull eyes went wide open. Jake look at Summoned Skull's expression. Oh shit! Jake thought, I goofed but how?
"How do you know her name, young man?" Summoned Skull said as his arms start to crackle with electricity.
"I just know her name." Jake said nervously as he prepares a defensive stance.
"Nobody could know her name outside the borders of Endymion or the secret village." Summoned Skull explained as his arms is covered with electricity strains, "One is only known by his or her title in these parts, not by name. So I will ask again: How do you know her name?"
Gagaga Cowboy walks in front of Jake. "Lets get out here." Gagaga Cowboy said, "He and his pals are up to something."
The Magnet Warrior trio beep to each other in confusion as Summoned Skull gets irritated. "I was not asking you, am I?" said an irritated Summoned Skull.
"If you think you can waltz in here and thinking one of my pals had to do something with your friends, you got another thing coming!" Gagaga Cowboy valiantly says.
"Don't test me, cowboy." Summoned Skull said with a cold snare.
"Bring it on, freak show." Gagaga Cowboy said as he prepares to point his gun at Summoned Skull.
The two stare at each other, waiting for each other to make a move. Jake looks back at his group and shrugs. The group shrug back. Kisara and Flip watch from their hiding place in a bush. Winged Kuriboh watches with the rest of the group.
"Umm.. Do you want us to walk back and watch this from the side?" Zubaba General ask the silent beings. They didn't respond. Their eyes lock on each other.
Then Summoned Skull lift his arms at Gagaga Cowboy while Gagaga Cowboy aim his guns at his target. But a certain someone appears at front of Summoned Skull and facing Gagaga Cowboy.
"Uncle Joe!" Tori said.
"Oh shoot!" Gagaga Cowboy said as he puts down his guns.
"Cowboy, you know her?" Excalibur asked.
"She's, regrettably, my niece." Gagaga Cowboy said as Tori hugs him.
"What are you doing here, uncle?" Tori said as she lets go of her uncle.
"Well to put it this way, little niece." Gagaga Cowboy said as the rest of the group zero's in around Jake, "We are on a crazy quest to save the whole world from travesty."
"Not only that, we are also saving Jake's girlfriend, Mana and…." Gigo said as he trailed knowing he made a mistake himself.
Jake turn to Gigo with angry face and whispers, "Thanks a lot, you mechanical gecko."
Summoned Skull, who got very irritated and mad, infers that the young boy might have to do something with Mana. There was something emitting from the boy that the fiend didn't like. Plus the "girlfriend" nonsense is nothing to Summoned Skull nor Tori's relative. It all it matters is Mana safe or not. If not, I will scar this boy for life! Summoned Skull thought as his wings sprout out more.
"One last chance." Summoned Skull hissed, "Where is Mana?"
Jake looks at his friends and back at Summoned Skull and simply says, "I don't know."
Summoned Skull roared, "Liar!", as his wings and arms are covered in electricity. He flies towards Jake. Gagaga Cowboy got his niece out of the way as Summoned Skull gets close to Jake. Jake quickly morphs to his Utopia form and blocks Summoned Skull's attack with his moon barrier wing shield. Utopia(Jake) can feel the electricity sparkling on his shield.
This guy ain't kidding! Utopia thought as he try to push Summoned Skull back. Summoned Skull kept ground and was stronger than Utopia. Excalibur and Gauntlet launcher look at each other and race to pull Summoned Skull back. But the electrical currents from Summoned Skull zap both Excalibur and Gauntlet Launcher, blasting them back. Utopia saw this and found the strength to push back Summoned Skull.
"What is this!?" Summoned Skull yells as he is getting push back, "You don't have the strength a minute ago. Why now?!"
"You hurt my friends, you will get thunder." Utopia said as he grabs one of his swords, "I don't care you if you are the lightning. So get my message!"
Utopia push back Summoned Skull with his wing and performs an energy slice on the fiend. Summoned Skull is flung back but shoots a couple of lightning attacks at Utopia . Utopia dodges and pulls out his over sword. He then charges towards Summoned Skull. Summoned Skull responded by charging towards. When the two collided, Utopia's swords clashes with Summoned Skull's electric claws.
"And between you and me," Utopia said in a serious tone, "I would never harm Mana in my life and you know why? I trust her and she trusts me. I lost myself for six months and she came into my life and gave me purpose. Tell me something, did I really kidnap her on purpose? All I want was to protect and get her home. That is probably you want too."
Summoned Skull looks Utopia at the eyes and looks at his swords he is clenching to. Maybe he can use the warrior's swords to use as an electric flow bridge so he could electrocute the liar. Before he did, Winged Kuriboh comes next to him and keeps saying "kuri" to the fiend's senses. Gigo and Skill Gainer rush next to the pair.
"Fiend of lightning." Skill Gainer said, "He is looking for Mana too. Look into your heart. Deep inside your moral conscious, you want to do anything to help Mana."
"Killing somebody won't get a step closer to Mana." Gigo said.
Summoned Skull sighed. They were right. He lower his guard as the electricity disappears to his puts up his swords as the rest of the group plus Tori comes up next to pair. Gauntlet Launcher and Excalibur are a little numb from Summoned Sull's attack but are fine. But one thing that concerns Summoned Skull.
"Is the girlfriend crap true?" Summoned Skull asked.
"No!" Utopia yelled. Despite wearing a faceplate, Utopia's face is blushing despite the fact of his and Mana's relationship are only friends.
"Are you sure about that boy?" said a voice.
The group turns to to the direction of the voice. A group of five cloaked beings stood nearby.
"Those guys aren't over there a second ago." Tori said as he hid behind her uncle.
"What are you five clowns accusing me of?" Utopia asked, "Loving Mana?"
"Well due to all the evidence of your relationship to Mana and spotting you two together before your breakup," said one of the cloaked beings, "You two are close friends."
"Before my breakup….." Jake repeated before he figured it out, "You were there! You all must be ones who capture her!"
"Not captured more like saving her no thanks to you." The leading cloak figure said before the group of cloaked beings remove their cloaks.
The lead figure is a man wearing fish-like, light blue clothing. The man also has green, scaly skin and wear a black, clear headpiece on his head. The second figure, the smallest of the group, is a giant, blue rockhopper penguin wearing a tuxedo and a top hat. The third is a middle-aged, muscular man wearing a grey breastplate, a dark blue robe, a purple cape, and a dark crown-plus headpiece. The fourth being is a black, red robot with a general likeness. The last of the beings, and the tallest of the group, is a tall green armored, clothed figure. The figure's neck is long but aromed and the head is covered by frightful face mask.
Utopia's group, Summoned Skull, Tori, and the three magnet warriors look at each other with the expression "You gotta be kidding me?" and look at the group of five. "Uhhhh…..Do we suppose to you five?" Excalibur asked.
"Reveal your names so I may write it on your tombstones." Summoned Skull harshly says. He was certain these are the ones who capture Mana but was still skeptical of Utopia.
"With our pleasure, like you'll won't live to spread the word." the lead figure spoke again, "I am Gansley."
The suited penguin spoke next, "I am Crump. Waah!"
"The name's Johnson." the middle-aged, muscular man says.
"Unit Name: Nezbitt." the robotic general said in a robotic voice..
"And finally and not least, the name's Leichter." the tall, frightful figure said is a southern accent.
"Together we are known as the Big Five!" Gansley said as a trident-spear hybrid appears at front of him.
Utopia watches this next to Summoned Skull. Stranger and stranger. Utopia thought.
