Aboard the Sunny...

"Why does a Pidgeot need our help to take down the Avia?" Al asked.

"Avia has a lot of Flying-type Pokemon, so we're gonna need people that can strike airborne targets." Rantaro said.

"Count me and Camilla in." Lin said.

"King, Gowther, you're on this one." Ty said.

"Ahem...are you people normally this rude to guests or is it just those people?" Pidgeot asked.

"Oh, sorry. So uh… you want to overthrow Rufflet? Why? You're one of them." Nana said before Pidgeot whacked her with his wing.

"This isn't a matter of us or them. It's a matter of protecting what's important. For me...it's the young girl they have in their dungeons. Lady Skyler." Pidgeot said.

"Lady Illuma." Spade said.

"I was not aware Skyler had a perfect link or connections to the kingdoms." Illuma said.

"It's true. Our relations are secret so she would not be outcasted." Pidgeot said. "See...I've watched over her since she was but a baby. I had no clue where she came from only that she was special. I've watched over her all her life till the day came she went to learn that Color Fighting. When I learned she had been taken prisoner by Avia...well I needed to act."

"Don't worry, we'll rescue her. She's our comrade too." Ace said.

"You are brave. But you all best not be cocky. True you have taken out most of the Flying Aces, but they are still a frightening force. Currently, our bigger threats are the remaining Ace and the general Grovyle." Pidgeot said. "Though, there is something else. Recently, our forces were attacked by Viperia on the ground, so our king has ordered some security from the criminal mastermind known as Amadeus Flux." Pidgeot said.

"Ugh… That's a name I don't want to hear." David said.

"He's probably gonna be waiting in the kingdom, and have some Robot backup." Ty said.

"Actually, he has sent four robots but he himself has not appeared in the kingdom. It is said he is busy with another project." Pidgeot said.

"Okay, so we're gonna be attacking Avia, but who's gonna rescue Skyler?" Nana asked.

"I'll go get her." Connor said before he was knocked out.

"Yeah...anyone here she doesn't hate?" Celeste asked.

"I'll go. It's been a while since I've been in battle anyway." Teba said.

"In that case, I shall go as well." Vera said.

"Be cautious, all of you." Pidgeot said bringing up a picture of a floating castle with floating pieces of land. "Avia is a kingdom with no connected land. Each mass floats on its own. The only area that is stable is the castle so you will have to force your way through."

"I see. Apologies in advance when we hurt your comrades, Pidgeot." Camilla said.

"There is no need for apologies. You simply did what you could to protect each other. Any noble soul would've done the same. Besides, they don't want to admit it, but Swellow and Swanna have taken a bit of a liking to you all." Pidgeot said.

"All we did was help heal their wounds." Al said.

"Illuma, I promise you, we will rescue Skyler and bring her home safe." Lin said as she sat on her airbike.

"Now...it's time. Take to the air...all of you!" Pidgeot said as he started flying high into the sky.

"Follow him!" Pit said grabbing onto Teba as they took off.

"Why are you?" Teba asked.

"I've been to Avia before. I know my way around the castle." Pit said.

"Hop on and hold on Vera." Lin said as they took off as well.

"Understood. Here we go!" Vera said as Dark Pit took off as well.

"Huh? Pittoo?" Pit asked.

"Don't get any ideas. I'm not gonna let you take all the glory." Dark Pit said. "And it's Dark Pit to you!"

"Despite being duplicates you act like brothers in a way." Camilla said as she flew past them.

"Well, we kind of are two halves of the same person." Pit said.

"We are not related!" Dark Pit shouted.

"So...we'll just be fighting Avia while everyone below supports Team Lyoko?" Vera asked.

"Seems that way." Teba said as they broke through the clouds where they saw the vast Kingdom of Avia above.

"Prepare to break through." Pidgeot said.

"Vera, Bomb Arrow!" Lin called out.

"Coming right up." Vera said as she fired a Bomb Arrow, making a way inside.

"Nice shot!" Lin said as they entered Avia.

"We split from here. I will escort a party to the dungeons to free Skyler...the other will make their way to the throne room." Pidgeot said.

"Understood. And please...be careful." Camilla said as she pulled out her multiform rifle and put her air ride away as she headed to the throne room. "Okay...I'll just…" She said before a meteorite hit right next to her. "What?"

"Aw...I missed." a voice said. "I was aiming for her head."

"No worries...we still got a shot." Another said as two robots walked out. One with a star theme and the other with bright tubes attached to its body.

"So I am to assume you are robots?" Camilla asked as she pushed up her monocle

"I am StarMan." said the robot with a comet and star like theme.

"And I am BrightMan." Said the tube attached robot.

"Hmm. I see. And you are what's stopping me from reaching the throne room." Camilla said with a calm stature.

"We would...if the throne room was still down this way." StarMan said.

"So you moved it in order to trap me and the others correct?" Camilla asked.

"In a way. We're here to pick off the stragglers. The general and the remaining Ace wanted the honor of guarding the throne room all for themselves." BrightMan said.

"Then you wouldn't mind if you stepped aside." Camilla said.

"Funny. But...funny gets you killed. Star Arrow!" StarMan said firing a star.

"Bright Beam!" BrightMan said firing beams from his eyes.

"Tch!" Camilla grunted as she dodged before firing a laser at Brightman from her rifle. "Stun Shot!" She shouted firing a widespread bullet.

"Flash Stopper." BrightMan said making a shield that blocked the attacks easily.

"Hurricane Screw Shot!" A voice yelled out as Beelko appeared and fired bullets from her heels at the robots catching them off guard.

"Another one followed her?" StarMan said.

"I'm her partner, where she goes I follow." Beelko said as she pointed her guns at them.

"Beelko! I am relieved to see you." Camilla said as she walked up next to her. "It's time we teach these two how to treat a lady."

"Hell yeah, let's do it!" Beelko said as they took a back to back stance.

"Let's see how well they do...with less energy." BrightMan said as two plugs extended and attached to the two. "Energy Drain!" He said sucking them of energy.

"Have to stop that energy drain...Fly Bullet!" Beelko yelled as she shot a bullet that automatically home in on BrightMan's weakpoint.

"As if that will work." BrightMan said as he dodged slightly as the bullet missed. "Haha...huh?" he said as she smirked.

"Figured it out...you can't use your other attacks while draining can you?" She said surprising him. "Which means...you can't dodge forever." She said firing multiple Fly Bullets.

"No good." BrightMan thought as he tried his best to dodge. "I can't dodge them all." he thought before one hit his pack as he screamed in shock as the drainage stopped.

"Hasta la Vista...Double Claw!" Beelko said as she dashed towards BrightMan and slashed through him with the knives attached to her guns.

"Not….bright." he said before exploded.

"You little...Star Arrow!" StarMan said firing multiple stars at them.

"Beelko, Double Chase!" Camilla said.

"Right!" Beelko said as they both rapidly fired charged bullets at the arrows heading towards them before firing at StarMan.

"Ah!" StarMan shouted taking multiple hits as he stood there. "Hehehehe. You really think...you can win? As if. So...here's a fun idea...I'll bury you and every person in this castle into the ground." He said with a demented smile.

"Go to hell. You're comrades are waiting for you." Camilla said as she fired a laser straight through his chest.

"Final...attack measure activated." StarMan said smiling as a meteor broke through the roof and the ground of the castle. Camilla and Beelko looked up in shock to see thousands of meteors. "Meteor Shower!" He said before falling through the hole into the sea below.

"Beelko we have to get the others, come on!" Camilla said before seeing her ride destroyed. "No!"

"Don't worry. It'll be fine...remember who they are." Beelko said.

Meanwhile in the other part of the castle, the others were soon being stood against by Grovyle and the remaining Ace, Hawlucha.

"Well...this is unsettling." Hawlucha said seeing the meteors coming down.

"Yes. I should have known we couldn't trust that Flux and his machines. Still...even if it were raining hellfire, I would not abandon his majesty." Grovyle said.

"Don't you see what's going on here? If you really are concerned for him, you'd help him evacuate now." Vera said.

"Our king if more than capable of handling himself. Though you young lady are in dire need of rescue. What say I save your life and we get dinner, yes?" Grovyle said.

"I appreciate the offer, but there's another lady we're in desperate need of saving." Vera said.

"Ah right. The young lady in her cell. Hmm, tough choice." Grovyle said.

"Enough waiting. I came for a fight of honor!" Hawlucha said.

"Shall we?" Teba asked.

"Of course. You all head for the cells and find Skyler. We'll handle these two." Vera said.

"Of course." Pit and Dark Pit said before glaring as they ran off.

"Okay...I'll go for...the Rito!" Grovyle said rushing Teba who jumped back.

"I apologize. My general refuses to fight women. I however...will not." Hawlucha said.

"I see. Well then shall we begin?" Vera asked.

"I start with...Rock Smash." Hawlucha said running as his fist glowed.

Vera pulled back and fired some Shock Arrows at Hawlucha.

"An archer. Firing from a range is smart. But…" Hawlucha said as he grabbed one. "I am well skilled with catching arrows!"

"Damn… This could be trouble." Vera said.

"Yes...now I finish this quickly." Hawlucha said jumping above her. "Flying Press!" he said coming down quickly.

Vera took the full brunt of the attack, still standing, though taking some damage.

"Impressive stamina." he said.

"What did you expect? I wasn't planning on staying in the sidelines forever." Vera said. "I usually take the support role in battles, but now that someone else has it, I figured that it was about time I got some action. So, with Teba, I trained as hard as I can, to the point where I can fight my own battles now."

"Your conviction is impressive. But...I will finish this now." Hawlucha said taking flight once more. "One more should do it. Flying Press!"

Vera took a deep breath and prepared a somersault. "Here I come!" Vera said as she somersaulted at Hawlucha and strikes with her bow. A single, large target reticle appears around her and her target as she jumps into the air high above. "Target locked!" She said as she then appears suspended upside down in the air above, takes aim at the Hawlucha. "Your fleeting existence is at and end! Crisis Rain!" She shouts as she fires multiple arrow-shaped lasers that home in on Hawlucha.

"Well done…" Hawlucha said as he took every hit. He stood there motionlessly as Vera looked on.

"He...he passed out, standing up." Vera said surprised.

"Ha! Ha!" Grovyle said keeping close on Teba.

"Not good. He's making sure I don't get the distance to fire." Teba thought.

"Well...looks like I win." Grovyle said before a music note was flying out as it doused him with water. "What's this? One of your tricks?"

"No...but wherever it came from...I'm glad it did. Shock Arrow!" Teba said firing at the water near Grovyle's feet, electrocuting him and making him pass out.

Meanwhile, the remaining group saw a large door.

"That must be it!" Pit and Dark Pit said as they charged the door. "Don't worry! We're here to…" they said before seeing a small bird on a perch.

"What are you...why are you in my throne room?" the bird demanded.

"We came here to pick up a friend." Pit said. "She doesn't like being chained up."

"Ah...I see. Clever. You make it like you wanted to stage a rescue. But no rescuer would be dumb enough to rush a throne room. You want my throne. Very well...I will fight you for it." Rufflet said.

"You fought THIS guy? He's just a little birdie." Dark Pit said.

"Hey! He's tougher than he looks!" Pit said.

"But...I prefer to fight...in my element." he said pulling a chain as the floor gave out revealing open sky.

"Ah crap." Pit said as the two fell through.

"Do I have to do everything? Gus, unlock deck 7." Dark Pit said on his comm. Down below, something was opened as something else rushed out. Before the two fell, they landed in a structure.

"Wait...this is…' Pit said seeing it was a chariot pulled by two horses.

"The Lightning Chariot." Dark Pit said. "Did you forget...I took it last time we met."

"You had it all this time on the Cavalier and you didn't bother to tell me?" Pit asked.

"Shut up. If we're going to win, we need to work together." Dark Pit said.

"If only more rivalries can be like that." Pit said.

"Keep talking like that, I'll be happy to kick you off right now." Dark Pit said before seeing Rufflet. "There he is." he said drawing his bow as the two were firing arrows after it.

"Wow...they're actually keeping close." Rufflet said. "Quite impressive. But let's see if they can counter this! My Wing Attack!" Rufflet said flying right at them.

"Seems kinda unfair taking him down in this." Pit said before looking up at the meteors. "Second thought, I'm over it.' he said as they charged for a final clash.

The two sides charged at one another before the two angels laid on a powerful strike as Rufflet fell. Before he could fall out of the sky, Pit grabbed him.

"I...have been bested. The throne is yours." Rufflet said.

"I want all prisoners released and for you to join the kingdom of Aurora." Pit said.

"Very well...I will recall all troops and leave." Rufflet said.

"Many thanks to you both for freeing us." A male voice said from one of the cells.

"And who would you be?" Dark Pit asked.

"My name is Veigue." Veigue said as he stepped out of the cell along with a blonde haired swordsman, a girl in pink with a hammer, and a black haired male in oriental like clothing while Veigue held Skyler bridal style in his arms. "Don't worry, she's only unconscious."

"Let me just say this… I do NOT like getting snached by a ghost lady in a box and thrown into a dungeon against my will." The blonde said.

"Hey, come on! We're out aren't we? Thanks to these two, right Ren?" The girl bubbly said.

"Yes. Thank you." The black haired male said.

"So, you're Ruby's friends aren't you?" Pit asked.

"They are. I recognize them from the pictures. Jaune Arc, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie. Now..let's say we get outta here." Dark Pit said.

"We can take the Lightning Chariot." Pit said. "Let's get going. Wait, wasn't there supposed to be someone else with you?"

"No...it was just us three." Jaune said.

"Pit! Dark Pit!" A voice called out as Camilla and Beelko ran up to them with Vera, Teba and Lin.

"Guys! We have the prisoners! Quick! Onto the chariot!" Pit said.

"We gotta go, the castle's coming down!" Beelko said.

"Vera, Camilla, hop on!" Lin said.

"I got these three!" Beelko said as she picked up Jaune, Ren, and Nora.

"You...you know you don't need to do that right?" Dark Pit said.

"Well it didn't look like there was enough room in the Lightning Chariot so I thought…:" Beelko started.

"Can we have this conversation later? Preferably when the land isn't crumbling beneath our feet?" Pit asked.

"Oh yeah, RUN!" Camilla called out.

The group flew out of the castle as it fell to the ocean in ruins.

"The castle...gone." Rufflet said. "Well...nothing lost. Just land."

"I'm just glad we managed to escape including your subjects sir." Lin said to Rufflet.

"So what will you do now?" Pit asked.

"We will take off to the skies and look for new land. One where we can rebuild the kingdom." Rufflet said.

"I pray for your success, your Majesty." Camilla said.

"Yes. Yours as well. Troops...we leave!" Rufflet said flying off with the Avian soldiers and residence.

"I hope things turn out well for them in the future. What about you Pidgeot?" Lin said.

"As I am fated to protect Skyler, I will of course stay close by.' Pidgeot said.

"Very well. I will leave her in your care when we land soon." Veigue said.

"I know for a fact that Ruby will be more than happy to see us again." Jaune said.

"You got that right!" Nora said happily.

"Indeed." Ren said.

"Wish I could say the same thing with Penny. I think that ghost lady split you…" Pit began.

"She was never with us." Jaune said.

'Huh?" Pit said.

"While it was true Penny was a member of the Coalition, she did not choose to go with us after it collapsed. She went her own path." Ren said.

"Well, Ruby is still holding on to the hope that she'll see her again." Vera said.

"Hey, there's the Sunny." Lin said.

"Wooooooow!" Nora said. "That ship is a Sunflower!"

"Nora… I'm pretty sure that's a Lion." Ren said.

"It's called the Thousand Sunny. It's our ship. And since you have nowhere to go after what has happened, I would like to ask...care to join us?" Jexi asked.

"Well, Ruby and the others are here, aren't they? So that answer is easy, I'm in!" Jaune said. "Ren, Nora, you guys don't wanna pass this up, were gonna be staying on a Pirate Ship!"

"As long as there's pancakes, I'm in!" Nora said.

"I will join as well. We are glad to see you and the others again, Ruby." Ren said.

"Glad to finally have you here!" Ruby said.

"What about you, Veigue? You got a team preference?" Pit asked.

"Hmm...I shall join the young Nephilim's group. I sense there is hidden potential in their leader. But first." Veigue said before walking up to the Freedom Seekers with Skyler unconscious. "Here, don't worry, your comrade is safe."

"We thank you." Illuma said taking her.

"It is no trouble at all." Veigue said before walking away.

"So that's Veigue from Tales of Rebirth, huh?" David asked as he observed him.

"I see you are observing me. Although, I sense a familiarity in you almost as if we share the same fighting style." Veigue said.

"You can put it that way. You can say that you were sort of an...inspiration." David said.

"Interesting. I hope to spar with you someday in the future." Veigue said with a smirk.

"So...what happened while we were in the sky?" Pit asked.

"Eh...not much. Yumi lost her code but we got it back." Jexi said.

"Wait, code? Where exactly are we?" Jaune asked.

"It's a lot to explain. Honestly, I don't know where to begin." Sectonia said.

"We have good news. Two of the robots have been destroyed." Camilla said.

"Yes...though...when I fought Grovyle...an attack went and weakened him." Teba said.

"The one called StarMan used a meteor shower as a last resort. He even had a demented smile on his face before falling into the ocean." Beelko said.

"Grovyle being weakened did happen before, but not the meteor shower." Sanji said.

"It is a redux. Things do happen differently." Jexi said.

"As for who did the weakening...it's likely that they are on this world too." MegaMan said.

"Right. Team Colonel." Kirito said.

"Who on that team is able to fight with elemental music notes?" Teba asked.

"Definitely ToadMan." Wendy said.

"Hmm… Yeah. He may be the team's medic, but he's also the ranged attacker. He could definitely pull something like that off." Rainbow said.

"Well, RWBY got their friends back, Skyler was saved, and we got a new teammate. I think things turned out pretty well today, right?" Ace said.

"Not for all of us. Ulrich had to go to the Subsonics concert with Sissi to make up for the ploy they had while Yumi was trapped on Lyoko." David said.

"Mostly well then. We'll just wait and be ready for what tomorrow brings." Ace said.

"Yeah...hopefully with better results." Jexi said.
