Aboard the Sunny…
"Well...if we're going to send a three man team to Viperia, they should at least have a resistance to poison just in case. Any ideas?" Reflet asked.
"Uh...why are you planning by yourself? No one else is even planning an attack yet." Jexi said.
"Oh, I'm sorry Jexi, I just wanted to plan ahead so we could be ready ahead of time." Reflet said.
"I don't think there's any need to deliberate. We already know Mayumi and Leia are going." David said.
"Besides, I said almost the same, meaning it doesn't have to be three people." Cavendish said.
Nina tapped on Mayumi's shoulder.
"What is it, Nina? You're saying you want to go too?" Mayumi asked.
Nina nodded her head yes.
"Look, we don't need to plan ahead right now. We just need to focus on XANA and Gospel for now until Viperia makes a move." Connor said.
"Right, we haven't seen any of the robots in a while which is awfully suspicious if you ask me." Lin said.
"There are only two left. FreezeMan and MagnetMan." Tails said. "They could be lying low because of the destruction of CutMan."
"Yes but...weren't CutMan, OilMan and TimeMan three of MegaMan's brothers?" Mari asked.
"Not the originals. When Light and my world died out, all that remained were the blueprints for all the robots. Flux claimed all of them and rebuilt them with improved designs." MegaMan said. "Besides, most of my original memories were lost when I was rebuilt."
"I see. I'm sorry." Mari said.
"In any case, Reflet. We don't need a plan just yet. At least give Viperia's top brass chances to attack. Usually after they're taken out, the kingdom decides to attack." Connor said.
"Right, I'm sorry. Since we're already dealing with XANA and Gospel. I just didn't want anymore problems on our plate. But you're right." Reflet said. "By the way, has anyone seen Tsuki?"
"I think she went to see Venusmon, they have a lot of catching up to do apparently." Ace said.
"I'd bet. Hope Ming gave the right directions to the flower shop." David said.
"Anyways, did you guys hear about Jeremie's new EMP bomb?" Miu asked.
"An EMP bomb? Can't say some of us have." Hisui said.
"EMP is short for 'Electro Magnetic Pulse'. According to Jeremie's description, it's meant to drive off traces of XANA from someone possessed by them, allowing-" Miu started.
"English, please." Lloyd said in frustration of the explanation.
"Bomb goes off, guy possessed by XANA is freed." Miu said.
"Basically nullifies anything electrical within a certain radius, right?" Mari asked.
"So if Jeremie uses it, it would be a blackout in Kadic. XANA would have to possess someone that has a REALLY big influence on him and Team Lyoko's lives." Nana said.
"Well, depending on how big the radius is. How many miles does the radius go after it's gone off?" Simon asked.
"It's only a short radius. About the size of this room actually." Miu said.
"See, no need to worry about a blackout in Kadic." Kagura said.
"Still, wonder what it would take for Jeremie to use it?" Ty asked.
"No clue." Twilight said. "Let's just head off to classes and…." She said before her phone rang. "Yumi? What's up? Why are you…"
"Sorry..but Yumi can't come to the phone right now." A voice said.
"MagnetMan!" Twilight said.
"What have you done to them?" Sectonia asked.
"Don't worry. They're quite safe. Both Yumi and the spike head. But that won't be the case unless you meet our demands." MagnetMan said.
"I can already guess what it is." Jexi said.
"Demands?" Hope asked.
"Your principal is currently...XANA's newest servant. This is an ultimatum. Deliver Aelita to the Scyphozoa in the ice sector at 2. Do this, they go free. Don't...well...I'll leave it to your imagination." MagnetMan said before crushing the phone.
"I don't think we need to imagine. He's gonna kill them." Volt said.
"That's terrible! We gotta do something!" Erica said.
"Um, Ultimatum? We can't exactly get outta one if MagnettMan says it is. Besides, we don't do this, Yumi and Odd are gonna get killed." Fuyuhiko said.
"And we can't just barge in on them. We do, he'll kill them immediately. That and we have no clue where they went. We have no choice but to meet his demands." Spectra said. "For now at least."
Meanwhile in a cold storage facility…
"So...I take it you're gonna kill us no matter what, right?" Odd asked.
"Bingo. You all are as good as dead." MagnetMan said before hearing some noise. "What the heck? Hmm. Keep an eye on them." He said heading down the halls.
Just then multiple chained daggers flew out from somewhere in the dark halls.
"Magnet Barrier!" MagnetMan said as the daggers hit an electrical barrier as they stopped. "Heh. Nothing breaks my barrier. So...where are ya?"
"Right behind you fool." A voice said as they pierced a dagger through MagnetMan's chest.
"Ahh….heh. Gotcha." MagnetMan said only to see the dagger hit a barrier. "You humans really are stupid." He said tossing the figure aside. "So who are ya? You can't be one of those Dimensional Heroes cause even they wouldn't have attempted this foolish solo rescue schick."
"Though my appearance is different. You may call me...Medusa." A voice said as a figure stepped out of the shadows revealing a woman with waist length pink hair, a blindfold with pink linings over eyes same with her sleeves, shirt, and shoes, she also had a part of a tattoo revealed on her forehead.
"Medusa? Never heard of ya." MagnetMan said.
"I am the reincarnation of Siren the Sea Maiden, on my master's honor, you shall be executed." Medusa said before being pushed back by another barrier surge.
"Sorry...but I kinda got plans here. And for trying to rescue those kids...I gotta stomp ya out!" He said banging his fists together.
"You're welcome to try. But you will find I am not an easy opponent to put down." Medusa said as she pulled out two large daggers with spikes on the guard that were chained together. "The Bewitching Black Serpent shall see your end." She said before taking a feral stance and charging at him.
"Yeah, yeah. Magnet Missile!" MagnetMan said firing a missile at her. She ran but the missile followed her. "Oh...see, these missiles have a special effect...they can trail down anything metal except me."
"Mystic Eye." Medusa said as she pulled off her blindfold showing her gray eyes as the missiles froze in midair. "Now you shall see the power of my Noble Phantasm." She said before a figure went and grabbed her just as they exploded.
"What? Another one?" MagnetMan asked in anger.
"You were lucky I was coming here too." the figure holding her said.
"You...I know you. You interfered with our plans before." MagnetMan said as the figure removed their hood.
"I am Blaziken! A former general of Ignis...and partner of Yumi!" he declared.
"Thank you for your arrival Blaziken." Medusa said.
"This was supposed to be simple. You lousy…" MagnetMan said before receiving a call on his transmitter. "What is it? I'm...what? Son of a… Seems because I wasted time with you two, those brats got away."
"How unfortunate for you, scum." Medusa said.
"We're done here. I gotta hunt down those kids." MagnetMan said flying off.
"No!" Blaziken said as he gave chase.
"Please wait Blaziken!" Medusa said giving chase as well.
Yumi and Odd along with Ulrich had soon reached the factory. But as Yumi and Odd ran in, Ulrich was quickly grabbed by MagnetMan.
"So...wanna be the hero huh?" MagnetMan said before punching him as he began to beat on Ulrich. "I've worked too damn hard for this! We are getting this done whether you like it or…"
"Hey!" A voice shouted as MagnetMan looked to see Sissi at the entrance. "Let him go!"
"Hahaha! This is a joke right? First a dagger woman, then a chicken, now a little girl? I got no problem beating on you." MagnetMan said.
"True...I may be a normal girl but...I have a friend. Rotom!" She shouted as Rotom shot out of her phone and into MagnetMan.
"What the?" MagnetMan said before he started hitting himself.
"Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!" Rotom said.
"Damn, you're annoying!" MagnetMan said.
"Okay...I think it's about time I finished this." Rotom said leaving as he flew over to Sissi and enveloped her in an orange armor. "Rotom Armor! Version 1!" he said.
"Some rinky dink armor isn't gonna make a difference." MagnetMan said.
"Electro Ball!" Rotom said firing from the palm an electro ball.
"Magnet Barrier!" MagnetMan said only for the barrier to fizzle as he got hit. "Damn it. The runt shorted out my barrier!" He growled. "I gotta go offensive! Magnet Missile!"
"Discharge!" Rotom said unleashing a discharge destroying the missiles before they hit. "Let's finish this!" he said as both hands were raised as a beam of electricity fired from both. "Charge Beam!" They both shouted piercing through MagnetMan.
"I can't believe...I lost to a human." MagnetMan thought as he fell backwards into the river.
"Well done." A voice said as Medusa and Blaziken approached.
"But...who are you?" Blaziken asked
"Me? I'm...uh...call me...the Electric hero, Motor!" Sissi said with the voice synthesizer on.
"I see, thank you for your help Motor. But what will you do now?" Medusa asked.
"Uh...I must...be going now." Motor said grabbing Ulrich before jumping off.
"An interesting girl that one. Shall we go see if your partner is alright, Blaziken?" Medusa asked.
"No...I cannot see her yet. I must go." Blaziken said jumping off.
"Hmm. Until we meet again. Now then." Medusa said as she began walking to the factory just before a film of light spread out while at the same time Sissi shared a kiss with Ulrich before the day restarted.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Medusa asked as she walked aboard the Sunny.
"And who might you be?" Volta asked coming up.
"My apologies, my name is Medusa, and I am the reincarnation of Siren. A pleasure." Medusa said as she curtsied.
"Oh, nice to meet you." Volta said. "I'm not used to seeing summons of Ace's like this yet."
"Are there others here? Would you be kind enough to take me to them, Lady Volta?" Medusa asked.
"Yes. There are a couple. This way." Volta said leading them to Vargas and Selena.
"Ifrit. Shiva." Medusa called out as they looked up and were surprised to see Siren in a different form call out to them.
"Siren. Thank goodness you're alright." Selena said relieved.
"Where are the others?" Vargas asked.
"I am not sure. I sense Ramuh somewhere on this world, but I was the only one here when I woke up. But now I am here to fight alongside you and our summoner's side." Medusa said.
"Well we're glad to have you with us. The others are in the dining room. I'm sure Ace and the others will be happy to see you." Selena said as she took Medusa's hand and led her to the dining room where the others were. "Everyone, we have a visitor." She called out.
"Hello everyone. It's been a long time." Medusa said.
"It has indeed Sire… I mean, Medusa. Man, everything's so confusing with this whole reincarnation deal." Ty said.
"You'll get used to it after a while. Don't worry." Medusa said.
"We're already used to it!" Natsu shouted.
"Anyway, her aside. Thanks to Motor's actions, MagnetMan is out of the picture now." Jexi said.
"That just leaves FreezeMan and Viperia." Mayumi said.
"They're the only big threats remaining." Jexi said.
"FreezeMan won't be easy, but we still have no idea what Viperia is gonna do. Then again, it is a kingdom of ninjas." Peko said.
"Yeah. Ninjas. They're gonna be deadly even if they sound awesome." Rainbow said.
"Actually...now that I think of it. They do have an elite ninja strike force. They're called...the five ninja masters." Sinon said. "I heard some soldiers talking about them as I left."
"The king or queen of Viperia will probably have them as their first line of defence." Princess Minerva said.
"It's a queen, known as Golbat. Trust me, she is a ninja master." Bartolomeo said.
"I hope that we can survive all five Ninja Masters and get to Golbat and not have our butts poisoned." Betty said.
"Don't worry about it. If anything, I can probably reduce the poison's quantity in your bloodstream for a less painful outcome." Brandish mentioned.
Mayumi looked up at the sky. "Viperia...we'll be coming soon."
