Chapter 3: The Game's the Thing

During a 10:00 physics class, Jessica and Tanya were discussing campus events.

"Did you hear that they are holding auditions for roles in a new play called Alesha in Wonderland at the Alakazam Auditorium?" asked Tanya.

"Of course. I am auditioning for the lead role this afternoon, " said Jessica. "I'll be a new experience for me."

"Break a leg, Jessica, " said Tanya.

"All right. I will, " said Jessica.

Meanwhile, aboard their main virotronic ship, Masquerade and Doppel Gamer observed them.

"Break a leg? Once I get through with them, more than just their legs will be broken, " said Masquerade.

Masquerade turned to Doppel Gamer.

"Which knight is next to lose their power?" asked Masquerade.

"According to the book, the knight whose power comes from the earth itself will be next, " said Doppel Gamer.

"So Kamikaze's pathetic partner Magnohammer is next. I need a monster NOW!" exclaimed Masquerade.

"Yes, sire!" exclaimed Doppel Gamer.

Doppel Gamer immediately went to work. Later that afternoon, Jessica arrived inside the Alakazam Auditorium, on the first floor of the Thompson Fine Arts Center, room 101, and immediately saw people rehearsing and building sets. Suddenly, three people stood up.

"People, may we have your attention please?" asked a black-haired, blue-eyed man.

Everyone immediately stopped doing what he or she was doing.

"Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Mr. Charles Miller, the director of the play, " said Charles.

Charles first turned toward a blond-haired, brown-eyed woman.

"This is the play's producer, Ms. Barbara Cole, " said Charles.

Charles finally turned toward a brown-haired, green-eyed man.

"Lastly, the writer of Alesha in Wonderland, Mr. Matthew White, " said Charles.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you, " both said.

"Anyone who is auditioning for the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Diva of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, and Alesha, please line up outside the auditorium, " said Charles.

"We'll call you in individually to audition for a particular role, " said Matthew.

So every auditioning person left the room and immediately lined up outside. Meanwhile, Masquerade went to Doppel Gamer's lab and saw Doppel Gamer typing on a computer.

"Is my monster ready?" asked Masquerade.

"Yes, sire. I call it Playerhater. He is a skilled warrior equipped with a diamond-edged cue stick, exploding dice, and a pokerface blaster that can change an enemy into a playing card, " said Doppel Gamer.

"Excellent. Whose DNA will be used in the scan?" asked Masquerade.

"I will use my own DNA this time since Playerhater is a game-type monster, " said Doppel Gamer.

Doppel Gamer fired a laser beam at the earth that covered the earth with energy. Within five seconds, a printout was produced.

"According to this, a young man named Charles Miller is my genetic twin, " said Doppel Gamer. "He is currently at the Alakazam Auditorium.

Suddenly, Shadowmiser ran into Doppel Gamer's lab.

"Master, I have spotted three ZeoKnights heading towardtheAlakazam Auditorium, " said Shadowmiser.

"Send some Crystallites to earth and intercept them!" exclaimed Masquerade.

"Yes, master, " said Shadowmiser.

Meanwhile, Abby, Tanya, and Adam were walking on the campus grounds.

"I didn't know Jessica had acting aspirations, " said Adam.

"It surprised me, too. I'd figure her to be a scientific person than a theatrical person, " said Tanya.

"Let's hurry to the Alakazam Auditorium and catch her audition, " said Abby.

Suddenly, a squadron of Crystallites appeared from nowhere.

"I'm growing tired of these Crystallites, " said Abby.

"Let's trash these creeps, " said Adam

The Crystallites came at them very strongly, but they destroyed every one of them.

"We better hurry to the auditorium. I have a strong feeling that Jessica is in trouble, " said Abby.

"You might be right. Masquerade wouldn't send Crystallites to earth without a reason, " said Tanya.

"Let's move, " said Adam.

So they immediately headed for the Alakazam Auditorium. Meanwhile Charles Miller had called in everyone to announce his acting troupe.

"After careful evaluation, Nathan Carter will play the Mad Hatter, Susan Harris will play the March Hare, Jasmine Brown will play the Diva of Hearts, Ernest Porter will play the Cheshire Cat, and Jessica Broadway will play Alesha, the lead role, " said Charles.

Suddenly, the room was filled with applauds and cheers.

"Congratulations to you all. For those that didn't make the cut, work harder, and we'll see you next time, " said Matthew.

"Those that made the cut, please come over to our table to receive your scripts, " said Barbara.

So Nathan, Susan, Jasmine, Ernest, and Jessica walked over to their table to pick up their scripts. Meanwhile, Masquerade was in Doppel Gamer's lab, watching Doppel Gamer put the final touches on his monster.

"Doppel Gamer, is my monster ready for downloading?" asked Masquerade.

"Yes, sire, " said Doppel Gamer. "Begin download procedure."

Doppel Gamer immediately pressed a button that downloaded the monster into Charles's brain. Charles suddenly felt lightheaded and felt to his knees. Jessica immediately sensed that something was wrong with Charles.

"Mr. Miller, are you ok?" asked Jessica.

"Leave me alone!" exclaimed Charles in a distorted voice.

His eyes started to glow. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke formed around him. When the smoke cleared, he looked like a snake creature with sharp teeth and claws wearing brown platform shoes, a lime green, white, and neon yellow leisure suit, dark sunglasses, a neon yellow fedora, and two rings on each hand.

"I am Playerhater, and you're about to become a permanent loser!" exclaimed Playerhater.

"It's a monster. Everyone, get out now!" exclaimed Jessica.

Everyone left the auditorium except for Jessica and Playerhater. Jessica made sure that no one was watching her and pressed a button on her communicator.

"Knights, can you read me?" asked Jessica.

"Corey, here. What's wrong, Jess?" asked Corey.

"Another human has been turned into a monster. Hurry over to the Alakazam Auditorium, " said Jessica.

"We'll be there soon, " said Corey.

Jessica turned and faced Playerhater.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid to fight me by yourself?" asked Playerhater.

"I'm not afraid of anything especially a game goon like you. It's Morphin' Time!" exclaimed Jessica. "Red ZeoKnight power."

Suddenly, a group of Crystallites appeared beside Playerhater.

"Crystallites, trash this fool!" exclaimed Playerhater.

The Crystallites came at him very strongly, but Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, destroyed every one of them.

"Those Crystallites are just like rhinestones, cheap pieces of junk, " said Playerhater. "I can destroy you myself."

"We'll see about that, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, drew her Ferromagnetic Hammer, and Playerhater drew a hardwood-tapered stick with a diamond tip. They clanged their weapons until Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, punched Playerhater in the face.

"When it comes to being a ZeoKnight, I'm no pushover, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"I doubt that. Time to let the roll of the dice decide your fate, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater threw some exploding dice at Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, charged her Ferromagnetic Hammer with magnetism, spun it clockwise rapidly, and moved in a downward thrust onto the ground, attempting to release a tremendous beam of magnetic energy through the ground, but nothing happened. When the bombs reached her, they exploded on contact, sending her to the ground.

"Time to play my ultimate trump card, magnet knight, " said Playerhater." My pokerface blaster."

"Rogun applay scled!" exclaimed Abby, the Black ZeoKnight.

Playerhater rolled up his fist and pointed it toward Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight. Suddenly, his rings started to glow and fired a concentrated beam of energy at her, but a black glow appeared around her and absorbed the blast.

"What happened? " asked Playerhater. "I had you on your knees."

"You must be dreaming, poker punk, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight. "If you attack one of us, you'll have to attack us all."

"No problem, " said Playerhater. "I'll crush you all with one blow."

Playerhater drew his cue stick, and the five remaining knights drew their Knight Power Sabers and came charging at Playerhater. Each knight clanged their saber to Playerhater's cue stick, but Playerhater nearly destroyed their weapons and sent them to the ground.

"Let's get this joker!" exclaimed Zack, the Green ZeoKnight.

"Right!" exclaimed Abby, the Black ZeoKnight.

"Time to shuffle the deck against them, " said Playerhater

Zack, the Green ZeoKnight, and Abby, the Black ZeoKnight, jumped up with their sabers raised, and attempted to hit Playerhater with a downward slash. However, Playerhater fired his pokerface blaster at them, causing them to disappear.

"Where are they, Playerhater?" asked Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"They're right here in my hand, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater opened his left hand and revealed a green Jack of Hearts and a gray Queen of Hearts.

"He's turned them into playing cards, " said Adam, the Purple ZeoKnight.

"Excellent, isn't it. Time to complete my collection, " said Playerhater

"I think not!" exclaimed Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

Just as Playerhater threw some exploding dice at all of the ZeoKnights, Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight, charged his Lightning Lance with electricity, spun it counterclockwise, and moved his weapon with a forward thrust, releasing a tremendous beam of pure electricity. The electrical blast caused the dice to explode in Playerhater's hands, partially damaging him.

"This game is far from over. Catch you later!" exclaimed Playerhater as he teleported out of Alakazam Auditorium.

"Are you ok, Jessica?" asked Tanya, the Yellow ZeoKnight.

"I'm cool, but my Magnet Polar Jam failed to work, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"You must be next to retrieve your suit of armor and weapon. Let's head to the U. P. C. and learn more about your ZeoKnight ancestor, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

So they all teleported to the U. P. C. When they arrived, they de-morphed into their human forms, and MCR-4's image immediately appeared on the computer screen.

"MCR-4, could you tell us about the original Red ZeoKnight?" asked Jessica.

"Simple. According to my database, the original Red ZeoKnight was a merchant's apprentice from a small town in ancient Persia. He was chosen, because of his honest nature and unyielding trust of others, " said MCR-4.

"Do you mean that my ancestor lived in the time of the legendary Arabian Nights?" asked Jessica.

"That is correct. Jessica, you must go back to ancient Persia and retrieve your suit of armor and weapon, " said MCR-4. "The time coordinates have been preset. Just press when ready. As I previously told Abby and Corey, the instant you arrived in Persia, your communicator and morpher will disappear."

"Be careful, Jessica, " said Corey.

"Don't worry, Corey. I'll be back, " said Jessica as she kissed him on the cheek

"Good luck and may the power protect you!" exclaimed MCR-4.

The other Knights watched as Jessica pressed a button on her communicator and vanished in a red flash. Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

"That alarm is giving me a headache. Knights, Playerhater has been spotted in Mystic Park. You must stop him immediately!" said MCR-4.

"We're on our way. Back to action!" said Corey.

So they teleported to the park, fully morphed.

"Prepare to receive a raw deal, Playerhater!" exclaimed Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

"You may hold the cards, but I make the rules, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater threw some exploding dice at them, but the ZeoKnights avoided the dice. Meanwhile, Jessica had arrived in ancient Persia, outside a small desert town named Terrabon.

"What a strange trip that was. I still can't believe that I am in the time of the Arabian Nights, " said Jessica. " Maybe the people in this town know something about my ZeoKnight ancestor."

Jessica headed into Terrabon and glanced about, trying to assess her surroundings. As she passed, Jessica saw that the people suddenly became afraid and quickly ran inside their homes.

"What's going on here, and why are these people afraid of me?" asked Jessica.

"I believe that the sultan can explain what's going on, " said a voice.

Jessica turned around and saw a hooded figure standing in front of her.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" asked Jessica.

"My identity is unimportant. Our sultan is expecting you. Please follow me, " said the hooded figure.

"I don't know if I should, but for some reason I trust you, " said Jessica. "Let's go!"

So Jessica and the hooded figure headed toward and entered a huge palace at the end of town. Before Jessica knew it, she found herself inside the sultan's chamber in front of the sultan and his trusted advisor.

"You wanted to see me, your majesty, " said Jessica as she bowed.

"Thank you for coming. I am Aladdin, sultan of Terrabon, and this is my advisor, Philippe. We need your help, " said Aladdin.

Jessica immediately stopped bowing and looked up at the sultan. The instant she saw the sultan's face, Jessica immediately screamed and jumped back.

"Who or what are you?" asked Jessica fearfully.

"I think it's time you told her about the curse, your majesty, " said Philippe.

"I'm afraid that I have no choice, " said Aladdin. "Guards, remove your hoods."

Each guard removed their hoods, revealing reptilian heads.

"What happened to you all?" asked Jessica.

"Let's me tell you a story. The apprentice to a great merchant, my grandfather, was chosen to become a member of an elite fighting force, known as the ZeoKnights, " said Aladdin.

"Your grandfather was the original Red ZeoKnight?" asked Jessica.

"How did you know that?" asked Aladdin. "Only my guards, my advisor, and I knew that information."

"I know because I'm the Red ZeoKnight from the future and your descendant, " said Jessica.

"I knew there was something special about you. We make a wise decision to bring you here, " said Aladdin.

"What does the Red ZeoKnight have to do with your curse?" asked Jessica.

"It all begins with the Red ZeoKnight's special suit of armor called Polaricite and his weapon called the Atomic Magnet Crossbow, " said Aladdin. "I'm assuming you were told about Ra'edak and Master Vile."

"Yes, I was, " said Jessica.

"Before my grandfather left to fight Master Vile, he hid the Atomic Magnet Crossbow and gave a map to my father leading to it. A year later, an evil sorcerer named Mozenrath came to our town and attempted to steal the map. When my father refused to tell where it was, Mozenrath cursed Terrabon by turning all the townspeople into lizard creatures. Even after the event, my father wouldn't reveal the location of the map. In a final act of rage, Mozenrath killed my father. Soon he left the town, leaving behind a curse and a magical seal that separated us from the rest of the world, " said Aladdin.

"That's horrible. What can I do to help you?" asked Jessica.

Aladdin pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper from under his hat and gave it to Jessica.

"This is the map Mozenrath was looking for. This will lead you to the Atomic Magnet Crossbow. You must retrieve it to remove this curse, " said Aladdin.

"I promise you that I will be back with the weapon, " said Jessica.

Jessica put the map in her pocket and left the palace. Suddenly, Philippe appeared behind Jessica.

"Philippe, what are you doing here?" asked Jessica.

"Aladdin and I almost forgot that you'd need some supplies to survive in the desert. So we already gathered some items that we believe that the Red ZeoKnight used to hide the weapon, " said Philippe.

So Philippe gave Jessica a large silk bag.

"You'll also need this, " said Philippe.

Philippe pulled out and unrolled a purple and gold carpet.

"Is this what I think it is?" asked Jessica.

"It is. This magic flying carpet should help you cross the desert in no time, " said Philippe. "It will listen to your every command."

"Thanks a lot, Philippe, " said Jessica.

Jessica quickly sat on the carpet

"Goodbye and good luck, " said Philippe.

"Carpet, arise and go forward!" exclaimed Jessica.

Suddenly, the carpet lifted off the ground and took Jessica into the desert. While riding on the carpet, Jessica took out the map and began to read it.

"According to this map, there should be some kind of monolith nearby. I need to get a closer look, " said Jessica. "Carpet, stop!"

Suddenly, the carpet stopped moving. Jessica searched through her bag, found a pair of binoculars, and quickly looked around for a stone monolith. Unfortunately, she saw five identical monoliths ahead of her.

"One of these monoliths must be where I find the Atomic Magnet Crossbow, but which one?" asked Jessica. "Maybe something on the map might give me a clue."

Jessica reopened the map and began to read it until she came upon two four-lined passages. She immediately read the first passage.

"It says: If you know the difference between fact and fiction. And the consequences of every action. Four are fake and doesn't exist. One will be found by pure attraction, " said Jessica.

Jessica thought about it for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.

"Attraction? That's it!" exclaimed Jessica. "Maybe the real monolith has a magnetic charge. Let's see if there's a compass in the bag."

Jessica searched through her bag, found a highly advanced compass, and pointed it toward the monoliths. Suddenly, she got a reading from the northwest.

"It appears that the compass is pointing toward the furthest northwest monolith of all five. Carpet, head northwest!" said Jessica.

Suddenly, the carpet started moving again and took Jessica next to the monolith.

"If I've solved that riddle correctly, this monolith should feel real, " said Jessica.

Jessica placed her hand on the monolith. The instant she touched it, the other four monoliths disappeared, and an opening appeared at the base of the one near her.

"Carpet, land here!" exclaimed Jessica.

The carpet suddenly moved downward onto the ground. When she landed, Jessica immediately rolled up the carpet, grabbed the bag, and stood in front of the passageway.

"Maybe this passageway leads to the weapon, " said Jessica.

Jessica went through the passageway and suddenly found herself inside a dark cavern, only lit by torches.

"It sure is dark in here, " said Jessica.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the distance.

"What in the world is that?" asked Jessica.

Jessica took out his binoculars and got a closer look at the source of the light. The light turned out to be a steel crossbow with red and iron stripes covering the stock and trigger inside a glass case.

"That must be the Atomic Magnet Crossbow. I'm almost there, " said Jessica.

Jessica took one step forward. Suddenly, a stone block from the floor loosened and fell into a deep pit.

"I must be careful when crossing this floor. Maybe the map has some hint about getting across, " said Jessica.

Jessica opened the map and read the second passage.

"It says: Knights and kings, knights and kings. Moves in their own way. Play the game by the rules. To survive this very day, " said Jessica.

Jessica thought about it for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.

"I got it. Chess is the only game that has knights and kings, " said Jessica. "Maybe I have to move like a knight and a king to cross this path."

Jessica moved two steps horizontally, one step vertically, and one step diagonally along the path. She continued to walk this way until she reached the other side where the Atomic Magnet Crossbow was encased.

"How do I open this case?" asked Jessica. "Maybe there's a hint on the map."

Jessica opened and read the map, but found no more clues.

"This map is no longer useful. Maybe there's a switch on the wall beside the case that will open it, " said Jessica.

Jessica rolled up the map and began to feel up and down the wall until she found two holes on opposite sides of the case.

"I think these are key holes. I hope that are keys in this bag, " said Jessica.

Jessica searched through her bag, found two identical keys, and placed each one into a hole.

"Let's see if these keys will work, " said Jessica.

Jessica turned one key to the left, and then turned the other key to the right, but nothing happened.

"Maybe I have to turn them simultaneously to open the case, " said Jessica.

Jessica grabbed and turned both keys simultaneously. Suddenly, the case opened, revealing the Atomic Magnet Crossbow. Jessica reached out and grabbed it.

"Great, I got the Atomic Magnet Crossbow, but how do I get the armor of Polaricite?" asked Jessica.

Suddenly, the entire room started to shake.

"I can't worry about that now. I must hurry to Terrabon to help those people, " said Jessica.

Jessica unrolled the carpet and sat down on it.

"Carpet, take me back to Terrabon!" exclaimed Jessica.

Suddenly, the carpet lifted off the ground again and took Jessica out of the monolith just as it collapsed. While still moving, Jessica saw Terrabon.

"There's Terrabon. We're almost there, " said Jessica.

Just as Jessica reached the borders of Terrabon, the carpet hit the magical seal, sending Jessica onto the ground.

"What happened? I got through that seal before, " said Jessica.

"You'll never be able to help those pathetic people again, " said a voice.

"Who said that?" asked Jessica.

Suddenly, electric charges surged from the magic seal, revealing a dimensional tear. A black-haired, blue-eyed man wearing a blue and gray hat with a red jewel in the middle, a brown gauntlet on one hand, a blue outfit, and an orange and black armor covering the shoulders and chest came out of the tear.

"I said that. My name is Mozenrath, and I want that crossbow, " said Mozenrath.

"So you're the creep that ruined these people's lives. I came a long distance to help these people, and neither you nor anyone else will stop me, " said Jessica.

"So you really care about them. Let's see how much your concern is worth, " said Mozenrath.

Mozenrath fired a black flame at the seal. Suddenly, the seal started to move inward, destroying everything in its path.

"Soon that seal will crush this town and the people living there, " said Mozenrath.

"You can't. There are innocent people in Terrabon, " said Jessica.

"I will spare their lives if you give me the weapon, " said Mozenrath.

Jessica thought about it for a second.

"Take it. Those people's lives are more important than some special weapon, " said Jessica as she threw the crossbow into Mozenrath's hand.

"Your caring heart makes you weak and pathetic, " said Mozenrath.

Suddenly, Mozenrath fired a black flame at the seal, restoring it to its previous position.

"You may have saved those people, but you won't be so lucky, " said Mozenrath.

Mozenrath aimed the crossbow at Jessica. Suddenly, he felt his hand burning and quickly dropped the crossbow.

"Why couldn't I hold on to it?" asked Mozenrath.

"It's simple. That weapon can't be used for evil, " said Jessica.

Mozenrath fired a black flame into the air, creating a silver and copper scimitar.

"It doesn't matter. Prepare to die, hero!" exclaimed Mozenrath.

"Think again, sorcerer, " said Jessica.

Mozenrath came slashing left and right at Jessica until Jessica evaded each swipe and kicked Mozenrath in the stomach.

"Is that the best you can do?" asked Mozenrath.

"I'm just getting started, " said Jessica.

They continued to fight each other until Jessica punched Mozenrath in the face and kicked Mozenrath's scimitar out of his hand and unto the ground.

"You're finished here. Remove the curse NOW!" exclaimed Jessica.

"I still got more tricks up my sleeve, " said Mozenrath.

Suddenly, Mozenrath's gauntlet ignited and gave off a grayish-black glow.

"When I get through with you, you become nothing but ash, " said Mozenrath.

"We'll see about that, " said Jessica.

Mozenrath started firing black fireballs at Jessica. Jessica jumped up and quickly flipped behind him.

"Your aim needs work, hot shot, " said Jessica as she dropkicked Mozenrath from behind, sending him to the ground.

Mozenrath quickly got back on his feet.

"That's all you got, young lady, " said Mozenrath.

"I just getting warmed up, " said Jessica.

Suddenly, Jessica saw the Atomic Magnet Crossbow beside her.

"There's the weapon. Maybe I can grab it real quick, " said Jessica.

"Think again. I'll destroy you before you can use that weapon, " said Mozenrath.

Just as Mozenrath fired a black fireball, Jessica avoided the blast and grabbed the crossbow.

"All right. I got it. Ready to surrender?" asked Jessica.

"Forget it. I will destroy you and that pathetic town's last hope, " said Mozenrath.

Mozenrath fired a huge black fireball at Jessica. Jessica deflected the fireball with the crossbow, which sent the fireball toward Mozenrath. The blast sent Mozenrath into the magic seal, disintegrating him. Suddenly, the seal surrounding Terrabon instantly vanished.

"If the seal is gone, then these people's curse is gone also, " said Jessica.

Jessica quickly ran through the gates and headed toward the palace. When she arrived, two guards were waiting for her.

"Sultan Aladdin wants to see you. Please follow us, " said a guard.

Jessica followed the guards inside the palace and into the sultan's chamber facing Aladdin and Philippe. She saw that both Aladdin and Philippe looked human.

"Thank you for saving our town from Mozenrath's seal and curse, " said Philippe.

"You're welcome. It feels good to help others, " said Jessica.

"You risked your life to keep your promise to us, " said Aladdin. "In other words, you showed true honesty."

The instant that Aladdin said those words, Jessica's communicator and morpher appeared on her arms.

"I must leave. My friends need my help to defeat a great enemy, " said Jessica.

"Don't forget this crossbow, " said Philippe.

"As for the armor itself, to activate it, just say 'Polaricite armor mode', " said Aladdin. "I believe the armor can neutralize any laser's effects, "

"Good journey to you, Miss Jessica, " said Philippe.

"Thanks and goodbye, " said Jessica.

Aladdin and Philippe watched as Jessica pressed a button on her communicator and vanished in a red flash. Meanwhile, the remaining knights were fending off Playerhater.

"Let's show this dealer how we play the game, Adam, " said Tanya, the Yellow ZeoKnight.

"I'm ready if you are, " said Adam, the Purple ZeoKnight.

Tanya, the Yellow ZeoKnight raised her Clonic Daggers toward the sky and spun them in opposite directions. When they met each other, she moved them in a downward thrust, releasing a tremendous beam of light. Simultaneously, Adam, the Purple ZeoKnight brought the handles of his Ice Nunchakus together, rotated it counterclockwise above his head, and moved his weapon with a downward thrust, releasing a tremendous wave of ice crystals. Both beams combined into one blast and headed toward Playerhater until Playerhater threw some exploding dice. When the dice exploded, it dispersed the blast and sent Adam, the Purple ZeoKnight, and Tanya, the Yellow ZeoKnight, crashing to the ground.

"Your special attack went bust, " said Playerhater. "It's time you losers were dealt with."

Playerhater fired his pokerface blaster at Adam, the Purple ZeoKnight, and Tanya, the Yellow ZeoKnight, causing them to disappear instantly and reappear in Playerhater's left hand as a purple King of Hearts and a yellow Ace of Hearts.

"I'm one card shy of a royal flush. Time to complete my hand, " said Playerhater.

Suddenly, a tremendous beam of magnetic energy came from nowhere and blasted Playerhater in the chest, sending him to his knees.

"Who's stupid enough to do that? " asked Playerhater.

"Only I, the Red ZeoKnight, would be smart enough to take you out, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"You must be joking, magno-knight, " said Playerhater.

Suddenly, a group of Crystallites appeared beside Playerhater.

"Crystallites, crush that knight, " said Playerhater.

The Crystallites came at her very strongly, but Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, destroyed every one of them.

"Those Crystallites are nothing but worthless paperweights, " said Playerhater. "I will destroy you both."

Playerhater threw some exploding dice at them, sending them crashing to the ground.

"That does it. Time to bring out the heavy artillery, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight. "Astrapor armor mode!"

Suddenly, electric currents began to flow over his costume, which came together and created a brilliant flash of light. When the light faded, his costume had become the orange suit of armor of Astrapor.

"Enough of this drivel. I will turn you both into cards, " said Playerhater.

"Time for my secret weapon, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

Playerhater fired her pokerface blaster at the ZeoKnights. Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight came running toward Playerhater's blast and instantly changed into a lightning bolt. Unfortunately, the pokerface blast overpowered the lightning bolt and changed into an orange Ten of Hearts, which appeared in Playerhater's left hand.

"I finally completed my knight royal flush. Time to capture this wild card knight, " said Playerhater.

"It won't be that easy. Polaricite armor mode!" said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Suddenly, Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight's costume began to glow and emit a magnetic field. Soon millions of molecular particles attached themselves onto Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, and created a brilliant flash of light. When the light faded, her costume had become a red suit of armor, similar to Sir Wally's suit of armor, with iron stripes positioned diagonally on the chest plate and vertically on the sleeves and gauntlets.

"That tin can suit won't protect you from becoming a playing card, " said Playerhater.

"You have no idea what my armor can do, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Playerhater fired his pokerface blaster at Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight. Just as the blast reached her, Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, crossed her arms and moved them to her sides, generating a magnetic shield around her that reversed the blast. When the blast hit Playerhater, it sent Playerhater crashing to the ground and changed the multicolored playing cards into the remaining ZeoKnights. The other knights quickly headed toward Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, and got a good look at her suit of armor.

"Your armor is so cool, Jessica, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

"Thanks a lot, Corey, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"You ruined my collection. Now I am going to ruin every single one of them, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater threw some exploding dice at them, but they avoided the dice.

"Let's finish this joker off, " said Adam, the Purple ZeoKnight. "Ice Nunchakus!"

"Axe of Morgana!" exclaimed Abby, the Black ZeoKnight.

"Clonic Daggers!" exclaimed Tanya, the Yellow ZeoKnight.

"Treble Sword!" exclaimed Zack, the Green ZeoKnight.

Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight, redrew his Cosmic Shocker Sais. All of the ZeoKnights except for Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, jumped up with their weapons, two at a time, and hit Playerhater with a downward slash and sent him crashing to the ground.

"That does it. Time to be permanently cut from the deck, " said Playerhater.

"I don't think so. Atomic Magnet Crossbow!" exclaimed Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Playerhater came charging at Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight. Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, drew and charged her Atomic Magnet Crossbow with magnetic energy, spun herself counterclockwise, and pointed her weapon toward Playerhater, releasing several magnetic pulses that hit Playerhater, nearly destroying him. Meanwhile Masquerade was extremely mad with Doppel Gamer.

"Playerhater needs more skills. Give him the disc!" exclaimed Masquerade.

"Launching the disc, sire, " said Doppel Gamer.

Doppel Gamer activated a cannon, which fired a silver compact disc toward the earth. When it arrived, Playerhater caught it in his hand.

"Time to up the ante, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater placed the compact disc inside his own body and grew into a giant.

"Time to play by a new set of rules, " said Playerhater.

"The game monster is mine, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"Keep an eye on him, Jessica, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

"I will, partner. Galahad, Red Zeo KnightZord power up!" exclaimed Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, threw her hammer into the air. While in midair, the hammer emitted a beam, which attracted millions of molecular particles together, forming Galahad, the Red Zeo KnightZord. Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, teleported inside her zord and came racing toward Playerhater.

"I will tear through your zord like tissue paper, " said Playerhater

Playerhater threw some exploding dice at Galahad that caused extreme damage to Galahad.

"Time to cut this player down to size. Fire magnetic missiles!" exclaimed Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, pressed a button, which fired a multitude of missiles that knocked Playerhater off his feet.

"Is that the best you can do?" asked Playerhater. "I'll show how a real fighter fights."

Suddenly, Playerhater fired several laser blasts from his eyes, but Galahad avoided the blasts.

"Activate Ferromagnetic Hammer!" exclaimed Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

A beam of magnetic power came from both of Galahad's hands to form a red and iron hammer.

"It's time to finish you off, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Playerhater drew his cue stick. Playerhater and Galahad clanged their weapons until Playerhater hit Galahad with a downward slash and sent Galahad to the ground.

"My lodestone laser should make quick work of you, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"I seriously doubt that, " said Playerhater.

Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, used Galahad's hammer to fire a beam of magnetic energy at Playerhater, but Playerhater intercepted the laser by firing his pokerface blaster. Unfortunately, Playerhater's pokerface blaster overpowered Galahad's lodestone laser, transforming Galahad into a giant Jack of Hearts.

"I can't move an inch. There must be a way to free myself from this card prison, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Suddenly, a voice came over the intercom.

"Jessica, it's me Corey. The only way to free your zord is to recharge Galahad, " said Corey, the Orange ZeoKnight.

"How can I do it?" asked Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"Place your hands on the controls. Concentrate and focus on your suit of armor's power into Galahad, " said Corey the Orange ZeoKnight.

Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, placed her hands on the controls. Suddenly, a surge of energy flowed from Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight's Polaricite suit of armor into Galahad, releasing Galahad from the card prison and forming iron diamonds on its arms and legs, iron bends on its chest and helmet, and iron diamonds on the shaft and head of Galahad's hammer.

"Time for your sick game to come to an end, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

"Please. You're all talk, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater fired his pokerface blaster at Galahad, but Galahad avoided the blast.

"It'll take more than a cheap trick to beat me, " said Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight. "How about a taste of my lodestone laser."

"You must delirious. I'll blow you into pieces before that laser even hits me, " said Playerhater.

Playerhater threw a multitude of exploding dice at Galahad. Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight, used Galahad's hammer to fire a beam of magnetic energy at Playerhater. This time, Galahad's lodestone laser disintegrated Playerhater's dice and sent Playerhater crashing to the ground, nearly destroying him.

"Enough games. Time to say goodbye!" exclaimed Playerhater.

"You must be mistaken. Red Magnetic Crusher!" exclaimed Jessica, the Red ZeoKnight.

Playerhater came charging at Galahad. Galahad jumped up, rotated its hammer counterclockwise above his head, and moved it with a downward thrust, hitting Playerhater with a massive blow. Suddenly, cracks appeared on Playerhater's body, causing him to shatter into millions of microscopic pieces, releasing a blast of energy that reformed into Charles Miller. When Charles had fully materialized, the other ZeoKnights went over to help him out.

"What, what happened?" asked Charles.

"It's nothing to concern yourself with, Mr. Miller, "said Zack, the Green ZeoKnight.

Meanwhile Masquerade was extremely infuriated with Doppel Gamer.

"Your game monster crashed and burned, and a third knight has earned their suit of armor and weapon!" exclaimed Masquerade.

"Forgive me for underestimating the ZeoKnights, " said Doppel Gamer.

"I don't care what it takes. The ZeoKnights must be destroyed before they gained their full power, " said Masquerade.
