*Recap from Chapter 2 of Power Rangers: Sky Brigade: Lindsey and Vanellope were mysteriously abducted and taken to Outworld. With the help of thunder god Raiden and Mortal Kombat champion Liu Kang, my friends and I have successfully infiltrated Shang Tsung's palace. We are currently walking through the east wing towards the throne room, where the two girls are being held prisoner.*
Ryan: That was amazing. What kind of tool was that?
Rancis: A sonar disruptor. It emits a very loud noise that can disrupt any form of communication within a 20 kilometer radius.
Liu Kang: That must explain why my wrist-com wasn't working when we got through the Warrior Shrine.
*Ryan, Rancis and Liu Kang talk for about ten minutes, until I start hearing chains coming towards Hunter. I turn to see a sharp kunai coming.*
Me: Look out! *I push Hunter out of the kunai's path. The kunai leaves a scar on my right arm.*
Hunter: Thanks. What was that thing?
Liu Kang: I don't know, but I have a feeling I know who threw that.
*The chained kunai retracts to reveal a white-eyed ninja clad in yellow with the hilts of the swords on his back, his mask and shoulder pads resembling scorpion stingers.*
?: I have finally found you at last, Sub-Zero.
Liu Kang: Scorpion!
Raiden: What is your reason for coming here, Scorpion?!
Scorpion: Sub-Zero has murdered my family and clan. I have come here to seek revenge. *pulls out his twin swords*
Hunter: You think this Sub-Zero guy is me?
Scorpion: That's right. And now, it's time for you to die!
Me: Not while I have something to say about it. *summons Divewing Keyblade* You readers enjoy this chapter while we snap Scorpion to his senses.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 21: Blast from the Past
In the meeting room of Castle Oblivion, Demyx has been blasted towards a wall by Saïx. Demyx struggles to get on his feet, but his strength slowly depleted and he kneels in pain.
"You have been a bigger failure than ever, Demyx." Saïx said in a disappointing tone.
"Look, I may be a nuisance, I cannot change that, but a failure I can never become." Demyx replied. "I can find Axel, I swear. Just give me another chance."
Saïx was about to strike him down with his claymore until Zexion came in and whispered something in his ear. Upon hearing the message, Saïx grins evilly and sheathes his claymore. Demyx looks up in surprise.
"It looks like Master Xemnas is feeling quite generous today. He has decided to give you one last chance." Saïx said.
"Is he serious?" Demyx asked.
"Yes. We have recently tracked him to this location." Saïx answered as he pulled out a holographic projection of a blue-roofed house.
"Excellent. I will go there at once." Demyx said as he opened a corridor of Darkness and entered through it. Saïx sighs in disbelief.
As the Gummi Ship flies to its next destination, Scarlet is pacing around her quarters, worried about why they're going to The Park to recruit Mordecai, Rigby and their friends. After about 30 minutes, Jen, Sofia and Drake walk in to see her in a state of worry.
"Is something the matter, old friend?" Jen asked.
"Nothing. Nothing is wrong." Scarlet answered. Jen, Drake and Sofia look at each other in misunderstanding.
"You must be worried about Skips, aren't you?" Sofia asked her mentor. Scarlet nods in disdain.
"Why is that?" Jen asked. Scarlet sits on her bed and sighs in disappointment.
"Skips used to be one of the greatest soldiers in my army. Despite the many disadvantages he had in battle, he showed no surrender." Scarlet explained. "Two years before I recruited Sofia, he retired."
"What about Mordecai and Rigby?" Sofia asked. Upon hearing Rigby's name, Scarlet became angered.
"Never speak the name of that raccoon! Rigby is always making a mess!" Scarlet shouted.
"Whoa. Scarlet, take it easy. Rigby may be reckless and lazy when it comes to his work, but as long as Mordecai is around, he can fix his problems, no matter what goes wrong." Drake reassured. Scarlet began to calm down.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Scarlet added in remorse. "I should never jump to conclusions like that. We should be getting close to our destination by now." It was then the alarm began to blare.
"You couldn't have picked a better time to say that." Drake said as they left Scarlet's quarters. They reach the cockpit of the ship to see the Keyhole open.
The ship exits the Keyhole and lands in an open field. All of the heroes exit the ship and look at their surroundings. Soon, they find a white house with a blue roof.
"Over there. That's where they live." Drake reported.
"Good. I sure hope they understand what we're up against." Sora added.
"You guys go on ahead. I'll stay here and guard the Medallions." Scarlet suggested. The young royals hesitated, but Drake and Ariana give her a strong nod.
"Be careful, Scarlet." Sofia said with worry.
"Do not worry. I will." Scarlet reassured as she leaned on a nearby tree. The rest of the heroes proceeded to the house.
After 10 minutes of walking, the heroes are in view of the house. They enter the house to find two people, both 23 years old. One is a blue jay, the other a raccoon with dark circles around his eyes.
"Mordecai? Rigby?" Drake said. The two turn to see their friends from the other worlds.
"Drake! Everyone!" Mordecai shouted, surprised to see their new friends again. The two slackers give everyone but Mason a high five. "Who's the new guy?"
"Mordecai, Rigby, this is Mason Gray. We found him in Enchancia without his memories the day after he rescued Sofia from Xaldin." Sora introduced the young swordsman.
"Nice to meet you both." Mason greeted.
"Hold on. How did he meet all of you?" Rigby asked the group.
"Well, the day after Mason rescued Sofia, he gave Sofia, Amber and myself our own weapons when the village was attacked by Xaldin, who brought two of his allies, Luxord and Vexen to lure him there." James explained.
"After they drove them out of the village and freed all of the villagers, Sofia unexpectedly found the Medallion of Light." Drake continued.
"Hold on a minute. Medallion?" Mordecai asked.
"Yes, Mordecai. There are seven Elemental Medallions that have been scattered across the multiverse." Ron answered.
"They contain the elements of Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, Ice, Light and Darkness. We already have the Medallions of five of those elements." Mason added.
Meanwhile, Scarlet is wandering alone at The Park until Axel confronts her leaning on a tree. The young warrior princess gasps upon his sight as she unsheathes her deadly twin swords.
"On your knees, Nobody!" Scarlet shouted as Axel put his hands behind his head and dropped to his knees. "You'll get my apprentice's amulet over my dead body."
"I am not here to fight you, Scarlet Warrior." Axel said.
"I'm ruthless, not stupid." Scarlet retaliated as she held a sword to his throat. "You're a spy sent by Xemnas, Axel."
"No. I'm trying to get away from him. He had the Organization build a device to extract the Princesses of Heart from Sofia's Amulet." Axel defended.
"Are you lying?" Scarlet asked.
"No. I never lie." Axel answered. Scarlet only brought the blade closer to his throat.
"Now are you lying?" Scarlet asked.
"Yes, I am, but I'm serious about the device." Axel answered in defense.
Scarlet's eyes began to glow with a brilliant white light as she read his mind and she saw exactly what he was describing. After a few seconds, Scarlet's eyes returned to normal.
"You are telling the truth." Scarlet said as she gripped his cloak. "Listen to me very clearly. I will protect your secret and hide you from the Organization. In exchange, you work for me."
"Deal." Axel said in acceptance. Scarlet smirks as she sheathes her swords.
Back inside, The rest of the heroes have explained to Mordecai and Rigby about the importance of the Elemental Medallions and Sofia's Amulet and why the Organization wants them.
"Whoa. So if this Organization XIII or whatever gets their hands on these Elemental Medallions and Sofia's Amulet, they'll plunge the entire multiverse in an eternal darkness?" Mordecai asked.
"That's the whole idea." Ulrich answered. "Anyway, after finding the Medallion of Ice in Sugar Rush, they came to Lyoko looking for the Medallion of Thunder."
"And when we found it, Turbo and his fleet of Cy-Bugs showed up." Ralph added. "We got rid of the Cy-Bugs easily and I was about to finish Turbo off once and for all until Saïx and Marluxia crashed the party."
"We fought as hard as we could during the blizzard in Lyoko, but once they were down, they created a fog to blind us and during the momentary distraction, they abducted me and took me to Bellwood, Ben's home world." Aelita continued.
"What's going on down there?" a voice asked. They halt their explanation to see a muscular white yeti wearing blue jeans with a brown belt skip down the stairs behind the slackers.
"Oh, Skips. You made it." Mordecai said. Drake and Ariana crack a smile upon seeing their former ally again.
"Long time no see, Skips." Drake greeted the yeti.
"Drake! Ariana! Everyone!" Skips shouted, surprised to see his friends once again.
*Scorpion is currently battling Hunter, in his Ranger form, and Liu Kang while the rest of us lie down in pain and exhaustion.*
Kaitlyn: Why is Scorpion attacking us?
Raiden: It is because he, his family and the Shirai Ryu clan were viciously murdered by the Lin Kuei. He was resurrected by the sorcerer Quan Chi, who had deceived him into killing Sub-Zero during the first Mortal Kombat Tournament.
Ron: Is this true?
Raiden: Would a god lie to a mortal?
*Liu Kang strikes down Scorpion with his flying kick. Hunter holds one of his Shark Daggers to his throat.*
Scorpion: Go on. Kill me! I deserve to die for failing my master.
Hunter: Even though you deliberately attacked me out of anger, I cannot kill an opponent that can match my strength.
All except Raiden, Scorpion and Hunter: What?!
Scorpion: I applaud your mercy on me. For that, I shall aid you on your mission.
Rancis: I don't know if we can trust him, dude.
Me: You may be right, Rancis, but for now, he's going to help us.
Scorpion: The throne room is just up ahead. I shall deal with the guards along the way.
Me: Thank you, Scorpion. Let's go. You readers review and Jake, tell Smoke that he shall get what he wished for. Peace out!
