Mama mia! How long have I not posted for this story that I literally already finished! Ahhh! Catching up soon!


Elsewhere:

Violet was furious.

After separating from her mother, and the way she came being blocked off by a cave-in, she was traveling through the curving tunnel of the cave and growing agitated.

"Great! How freaking flipping wonderful! I'm separated from my mom, this tunnel feels endless, and my mom might be fighting those robot-imals all by herself! This is FREAKING FANTASTIC! DARN IT! When?! WHEN WILL THIS TUNNEL END?!" Violet cried out, and then she took a deep breath in and out.

"Okay, calm down me. I got to think, or else I'll be trapped here forever. I got to calm down and assess this situation..." Violet told herself, as she relaxed.

She stopped walking as she became quiet, and then a soft noise caught her attention. She immediately took out her firecracker gun and shot down the tunnel.

"RAARRLLL!" A cry was heard, and Violet ran towards it with clenched teeth.

When she found the source of the sound, it was a large black bat with red eyes, blue claws, and purple wings.

"Ouch! My head hurts! I couldn't even dodge that shot," the bat said in frustration, but then it noticed Violet.

The bat momentarily cringed in fear to see her, as Violet looked at it with half-lidded eyes.

"... Uhhhhhmmmm. H-Hi there. Didn't realize someone... was here, ya know. M-My mistake! I'll take my leave," The bat said, as it went to fly away.

However, Violet stepped on it's wing to keep it from flying, as it looked at her in surprise.

"... What is a giant bat guy doing in a tunnel?" Violet asked.

"What?! Absurd! I am a lady bat!" The bat cried out.

"Okay, bat-lady-thing... who are you and what are ya doing here?" Violet asked.

"I am a Giant Ice Bat, but my name is Blizzabeth. I was send by the Angel of Chaos to keep you in one place actually. Heh. My powers are pretty strange actually, like being able to 'freeze' you in one place like that," Blizzabeth replied, and Violet punched her in the face.

"RAAAHH! That hurts!" Blizzabeth said, rubbing her cheek.

"That's for keeping me stuck in this tunnel, but what I really want to know is, why did the Angel of Chaos send you?! Why is he back?!" Violet asked in a commanding tone.

"Okay, okay! P-Please do not hurt me! My memory i-isn't very clear since I am in this form. I wish I could change it to a more human form with a c-complex brain, but the boss doesn't allow that since it would give a 'stronger conscious.' A-Anyway, a displacement of balance in this forest gave him access to this world, and I do not know why he wishes to keep you here, he has not d-disclosed that to me," Blizzabeth replied, shakingly.

"Alright... just stop 'freezing' me here and help me find my mom! She's in another part of this cave," Violet ordered.

"S-Someone else is here...? Who is your mother, Miss Violet? I was told to stop only you," Blizzabeth asked, with her head tilted to the side.

"... Ani Barrage," Violet replied, as she noticed Blizzabeth's eyes widen.

"-Gasp- How could I be so blind even though I am a bat?! The N-Netherworld creatures spoke of an 'Ani' who would be queen very recently! He must have had me keep you here to g-get to her! I did not realize what he was doing until you m-mentioned her! The fiend! He is too cunning and crafty even in his madness!" Blizzabeth said with fury.

"WHAT?! He wants my mother?! Again?! Blizzabeth, help me get to my mother so that I can stop him, please!" Violet pleaded.

"I-I don't know if I should! I serve the boss so that I could live, th-that's why I am still alive while the other bats w-were laid to rest! I wish to assist, but- Eep!" Blizzabeth yelped, as Violet grabbed her sharply by her ear to look straight into her eyes.

"Listen here, Ms. Batarang! My mother is in danger thanks to that Chaos-freak, and somewhat thanks to you too! You're going to help me find my mom and I'll take care of the rest, or not even your boss will be able to put you together when I'm through tearing you into pieces! You got that Blizza-milkshake?!" Violet said with an intense glare, as Blizzabeth shook in fear of this new power that stood before her.

"O-Of course I will assist you, Miss Violet! I will be your guide. Come," Blizzabeth said, and she picked up Violet and began flying speedily through the tunnel to reach the outside.

Still forest:

The guys were traveling through the forest as Minaya followed them, occasionally telling them if they were heading the right way or not. They were trying to reach Mount Breaker to get to higher ground so that they could see where the Robo-agents may be, and to warn their friends exactly where the mechanical cretins were to avoid them. Tommy stood behind the three guys so that he could walk besides Minaya to comfort her from her loss.

"How are you doing, Minaya?" Tommy asked her.

"A little better I suppose... I know my dad always talked about what we were doing was taking a risk... but after we beat the Robo-agents that captured you guys, I thought it was over... I didn't expect it wasn't," Minaya said, wiping her tears from her eyes.

"It was unexpected, but just so you know, it's not over yet. Those Robo-freaks are not getting away with this. I can promise you that..." Tommy said with furrowed eyebrows, as Minaya turned towards him in surprise to the anger he felt towards her situation.

"Tommy... thank you," she said and smiled at him as he smiled back.

"But I still have a job to do. You guys are the last responsibility my dad gave me, so I'm going to make sure you escape this forest too," Minaya said with higher confidence as she started walking faster ahead of the guys with Tommy following her.

Vito looked at his team, as he thought,

'What just happened? The Bland Forest is supposed to literally be it's name. Nothing was supposed to happen like this, but if Angel of Chaos is around, then that makes more sense... I can't let this continue. The killing, the chaos, the silence... I won't let it!'

Vito placed his hand in his inner jacket pocket, as he felt the White Pen and grabbed onto it tightly.

Later:

"Here it is, gentlemen. Mount Breaker!" Minaya said, pointing to the large dormant volcano that stood before them.

"We finally made it- Holy cow, it's huge!" Charlie said, as the guys were looking up at the large mountain.

"Yeah, it's bigger up close because from a distance the mist around it makes it look smaller. Come on. Let's climb up and call your friends," Minaya said, and they started walking around to find a path to walk up from.

However, as they walked, a growling was heard, and a beast jumped out from the forest to block their way.

"What is that?!" Paul asked, noting mechanical parts on the creature.

"It's a Desert Liger, but it's like a robot!" Minaya said.

"This is getting ridiculous! First robot agents, now robot hybrid animals! What the hell?!" Tommy complained.

"You guys, from all the crazy creatures and the whole apocalypse that happened before, I don't think there is any reason why anything isn't possible," Vito said, stepping forward to face the creature.

"Vito, what are you doing?" Paul asked him, as three more Desert Ligers came behind the main one.

"Honestly guys, I'm getting tired of this. I tried to bring you guys here on a quest to gather some cool stuff, and we end up on survival mode watching a village of good people being slaughtered... I'm at least glad we were able to save one of them, but no one else is going to die on my watch..." Vito said, as he placed his hand in his jacket pocket.

The others were surprised by how serious Vito was, and then the sound of a bulldozer disrupted the moment as the Desert Ligers were also surprised.

"YYAAAAAAHHHH!" A scream echoed from the forest, as Rex, wearing camouflaged clothes and a red bandana on his head, busted through the forest and bashed into the four robo-ligers.

It was instant destruction for the Desert Ligers, as Rex stood there triumphantly, while everyone else had their mouths agape in shock.

"Hey guys! Sorry it took me a while to get here, but I made it! Along with a few new friends," Rex said, as forest villagers stepped out from the forest.

"My people are alive!" Minaya said, as she ran over to the group, and they greeted her with relief.

As the surviving forest villagers reunited with their new leader, the guys reunited as well.

"So you found the forest village and saved the people?" Charlie asked.

"Well, I saved who I could, but not everyone could be saved. Their leader wasn't in good shape either, but he told me where you guys were heading to and gave me this bandana and a gem," Rex said, showing them a diamond necklace.

"He wanted me to give it to his daughter, and I said that I would. Then he died. He was a cool guy even in death, no wonder he was their leader," Rex said.

"His daughter is over there. Come on," Tommy said, leading Rex to Minaya.

"It was a good thing Rex found them. He must have crushed those Robo-agents," Paul said.

"Yeah, and speaking about crushing..." Charlie said, as he turned to Vito.

"Dude, I can see you're the real deal if you get serious. You were really gonna take those Ligers out, right?" Charlie asked, and Vito rubbed the back of his head with a smile.

Multiple growls were heard, as more Cyborg Ligers stepped out from the forest.

"The battle's not over yet," Paul said, as everyone came together with their weapons to fight.

"Alright guys, let's take these dudes down and find out where they're coming from so we can stop them. Let's wreck them!" Vito yelled out while bringing out his White pen, and everyone began to fight together.
