"You wanted me," Rocket asked as he came out of A.F.F.H.Q. to face the Thunder Knight.

"Indeed. I don't know whether to congratulate you on your courage or cowardice," the Thunder Knight said.

"I came out here to put an end to your global conquest."

"Then I congratulate you on your courage and stupidity. No living person could stop the likes of me before and you won't do what they couldn't."

"Don't think I won't," Rocket said.

"I will admit that this has been exciting," the Thunder Knight said.

"What has?"

"Your resistance. I have never faced a foe such as you. It's a shame you and I will never clash again."

"What makes you think this is my last stand," Rocket asked.

"Because it is," the Thunder Knight said before using his abilities to form several minions out of pure electricity.

"Your resistance ends here, Rocket."

"That's what you think," a voice said before the snow around Rocket and the Thunder Knight came alive, formed multiple minions, and started attacking the electric minions. Rocket turned around to see Josh standing there.

"Josh, get back inside with everyone else."

"Sorry, Dad, but I felt like you needed some help," Josh said as he walked over to Rocket's side.

"Your son is quickly becoming a thorn in my side as well. The both of you will fall by my hand," the Thunder Knight said.

"Try it."

"Very well, then. Prepare to fall!" Moments before the Thunder Knight brought down his blade, Josh morphed into action and stopped it short with his Omega Axe.

"I'd say nice try, but it wasn't," Josh said before throwing the Thunder Knight's sword aside.

"My blade," the Thunder Knight shouted as his sword landed in a patch of snow.

"Now, you're defenseless."

"I may be defenseless, but I am not helpless. Attack, my minions!" The electrical minions took their attention off the snow minions and turned it towards Rocket and Josh before lumbering over to them.

"Please tell me you have a way out of this," Rocket said.

"I wish I did, Dad. Sadly, I got nothing," Josh said before glancing over to the Thunder Knight's sword.

"Dad, think you can hold these guys off long enough for me to get that sword?"

"I can try, but I make no promises."

"Good enough," Josh said before jumping over one of the electric minions.

"Stay away from that sword," the Thunder Knight shouted as Josh made a break for the sword.

"Too little, too late." Josh then grabbed the hilt of the sword before pulling it out of the snow and wielding it in his hand.

"Great job, Josh," Rocket said.

"Thanks. Now to take care of these creeps," Josh said before leaping in the air and slashing one of the electric minions in half.

"Yes! It worked!"

"Of course. You figured that if the Thunder Knight created them, the sword might be able to destroy the minions."

"Great minds think alike," Josh said before destroying another of the minions.

"It seems you are intelligent as well as resourceful. You truly are a great adversary."

"Thanks. I'm the best when I come from."

"I am impressed with your skills, Josh. You will be the first I enslave once I conquer this world," the Thunder Knight said.

"Nice. I thought I would be getting a free pass," Josh muttered before looking at the sword again.

"Are you thinking of another plan," Rocket asked.

"You could say that, Dad. Try to get the helmet off and I'll take care of the rest."

"I'm on it." Rocket then leaped in the air before landing on the Thunder Knight's back.

"Release yourself or you will surely face the consequences!"

"I'll do that once I do this," Rocket said before yanking off the Thunder Knight's helmet.

"Josh! Heads up!" Rocket then threw the helmet Josh's way before he slashed the helmet into two pieces.

"No," the Thunder Knight shouted before the helmet faded into nothing and his spirit left Manik's body. Seconds later, the Thunder Knight's horse disappeared and left Manik facedown in the snow.

"Mission accomplished," Josh said.

"You said it," Rocket said before the armor covering Manik disappeared.

"My head," Manik said as he came back into the real world. He then looked up to see Josh and Rocket standing over him.

"Josh, am I glad to see you again."

"I'm glad, too. Let me help you up."

"Thanks," Manik said as Josh helped him up to his feet.

"Anything for a friend," Josh said.

"Would you mind telling me what happened after Dominic had hit the road?"

"I'll tell you on the way home. Dad, you may want this."

"Why?"

"Because it was the sword that ended the curse of the Thunder Knight," Josh said as he handed Rocket the sword.

"I'll see to it the vendor gets it," Rocket said.

"All right. Come on, Manik. We might have to take the Invisijet to get back."

"That's some good thinking. We must be twenty miles from New Mobotropolis."

"Feels more like 300 miles," Josh said.

"You may be right on that one," Manik said as he and Josh made their way over to the Invisijet.

"There you are."

"Thank you. It's good to know the wrath of the Thunder Knight is at an end," the vendor said as he put the sword in storage.

"It is. See you around," Rocket said before walking off.

"At last. The Thunder Knight has been defeated. Thanks to you and Josh."
