A/N: Last time, the Runners, including the BTR cast, got captured by Sebastian! How can they escape and stop what he is planning? It's time to get online!
Big Time Runners: Part 3
As Tony slowly opens his eyes in his POV, he noticed he and his friends are in some sort of recording booth as he remembers that they got knocked out by Sebastian.
"Typical for Sebastian to trap us in his recording booth," he groaned in annoyance when he noticed that his friends are waking up as he rushed to Jordan's aid. "Jordan, are you alright?"
"If getting knocked out by a ridiculously enhanced guitar and trapped in a sound booth of doom, I'm fine," Jordan answered. "Where's Sebastian?"
"Hello, meddling Walkers."
Hearing that familiar voice, they turned around to see Sebastian at the other side of soundproof glass.
"Sebastian, what are you up to now? Feeling lonely back in your WOOHP jail cell, perhaps?"
"Hardly. Just figured I'd make another comeback in the music industry."
"Geez, didn't you learn after all of you're other failed 'comebacks', Saga?"
"Well, didn't you ever hear of persistence?"
However, Kani noticed someone's missing with them.
"Wait, where's Amica?" she asked in worry.
"Oh, if you're talking about that little green kitty cat with you earlier, she's still hanging around," Sebastian answered as he shows them to Amica, which she was trapped inside a pet carrier with steel bars while hanging down over an acid pit with Mrs. Knight guarding her.
"Amica!" Kani shouted in worry and horror.
"I was planning to have her in my return, but she's too small and decided to dispose of her," Sebastian casually explained in an evil manner.
"You are one twisted guitarist!" Layla shouted in anger to Sebastian.
"Yeah, I can't believe you turn my Mom into one of your slaves!" Kendall also said in anger.
"Well, I do need a staff for my returning concert, which is the same as your manager and his assistant for your concert," Sebastian said.
"Speaking of which, what do you want with us and our LA concert anyway?" Logan asked in suspicion.
"It's quite simple actually. I'm sure you've deduced that I'm the one who stole those jewels and the sound program, right."
"Yeah, we pretty much had that covered already," Zeus said in an obvious tone.
"Well, I've implanted that program into all the satellites, speakers, and cameras in the Staples Center. So that once your songs play, my hypnosis generator, with the jewels giving it an extra boost, will transmit a hypnotic signal through the music to all those in the Center and those watching on television, brainwashing them into loving my music again when I take the stage and perform myself. And then everyone in the world with know the name Sebastian Saga once again!"
"Wait, how can you continue our concert without us including me and my face!" James asked in shock.
"Yeah, there's your one problem," Logan said. "You can't do a Big Time Rush concert…without Big Time Rush!"
"Oh, sure I can," Sebastian said as he snapped his fingers. Out from the back came 4 lookalikes to Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan. "With robot doubles. Very similar to the one I used to rob the jewelry store."
"I knew it!," Kani said.
"That explains the blue fuel," Andre put in.
"Oh, speaking of which..."
Sebastian snaps his mechanical fingers, causing some robotic arms grabbing Tony and dragging him outside the booth.
"Tony!" Jordan shouted in horror.
After he was forced out of the room, he was strung up and his limbs were strapped with four separate belts inbetween two giant cymbals.
"Hey, let me out of here!" Tony shouted in anger as he struggles out of his bindings.
"Sorry, kid. But since you said you're not affected by any hypnosis anymore, I have no choice but to eliminate you," Sebastian said to Tony. "So sit back, relax, and watch your friends will turn into my slaves while you go out with a smash."
"You will never get away from this, Saga!"
"Don't be foolish, my boy. I already have."
With that Sebastian turned and exited with Mrs. Knight, leaving the Runners and BTR and Katie to their fates
As the evil guitarist left with Mrs. Knight behind him, one of Big Time Rush's songs, "If I Ruled the World", played inside the recording booth, much to the Runners and BTR's shock.
"Great, I wanted to hear you guys sing on the radio, but this doesn't what I had in mind," Katie groaned as she covered her ears in a desparate manner, which the others does the same.
As he watched his friends are about to be brainwashed, Tony closed his eyes and somehow starts to meditate.
"Well, we have to get out of here before we become Sebastian's groupies!" Jordan said in panicked.
"Yeah, except we can't since Sebastian managed to lock us in with some crazy locks on the only door we can think of!" Bren said to his cousin.
Everyone tried to cover their eyes to shield themselves, but it was no use as their eyes turned blank and they began to say, "Saga Rocks!," and "Long Live King Sebastian!" However, as Tony meditated, something in all of their pockets began to glow. As it did, the hypnosis over them loosened up, and the gang and others all started regaining their senses.
"That voice... That's Tony's voice!" Jordan said as she felt a calm wave in her head.
"B-But how?" Calla asked as she felt the same wave.
Thinking the same question, she felt something in her back pocket and when she pulled it out, it revealed to be a glowing purple gem necklace.
"I don't remember having a necklace inside my pocket!" Jordan said in confusion until she realized something. "Unless..."
She looks at Tony outside the booth, which he was still using a skill.
"Tony... He must have slipped these necklaces into our pockets! He's using them as antennas to his -Mind Blinding- ability and trying to control us to negate Sebastian's hypnotic music!"
"Wow, he can break mind control?," Katie asked in astonishment.
"Yep, and more," Jordan said with a smile.
"Well, we can't waste his effort. We need to use this as our advantage to escape this recording booth," Zeus said in determination.
"And I got an idea involving guitars, improvisation, and a little bit of my rebel magic!" Bren said as he points to the guitars near them.
"Good idea," Carlos said as he quickly grabs a guitar and tries to use it to smash through the soundproof glass until he was stopped by Kani.
"No, I don't think that's what Revie was telling us," Kani said with a sweatdrop.
After a few minutes, Kendall and Bren are holding some guitars with the speakers are now at maximum volume.
"Punch it, guys!" Calla said to the boys, which they quickly strum their guitar in a rock and roll manner. When they did, the loud speakers caused the soundproof glass to shatter in pieces.
"Whoa, a loud guitar glass break trick with a double twist!" Jordan said in an impressed tone. "Nice plan, cuz!"
The Runners, BTR and Katie all quick jumped through the broken window and ran towards Tony and Amica whose traps were just about to release. The chain holding up the carrier with Amica snapped and the carrier started to fall towards the acid. Bren quickly made a daring jump over the acid, and caught the carrier, landing right on the other side. He then set about opening the carrier.
At the same time, Jordan managed to unfasten all the straps from Tony's hands and feet and pulled him out of the way just as the cymbals smashed together. After that, their eyes stop glowing purple as they reunite with their friends.
"Oh, Amica! I'm so glad you're safe!" Kani said as she hugs her Faunia in relief, which Amica roared back in glee.
"Nice job on the necklaces, T! Only where they come from anyway?" Jordan asked.
"Let's just say I have a lucky meet and greet with a meteorite in my backyard," Tony answered. "You should give credit to Ms. Reyheart for the necklace design. She's planning to have more items created from the meteorite."
"Well, while you wait for those, we have to stop Sebastian before the whole world becomes his own fan club," Zeus said in determination.
"And although I don't like cancelling our concert, we also need to stop our concert which will be starting in a few minutes and free Gustavo, Kelly, and Kendall's mom!" James added.
"But other than using Zeus's portal creation ability to sneak in, how do we sneak past the guards?" Calla asked.
Then Katie stepped in and says, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
"Can you count on us, too? I'm so dying to use my custom skills so long!" Bren said in excitement.
"Me too! Saga will pay for hurting Amica and getting away with it!" Kani said in anger. "Right, girl?"
Amica roared and growled in anger, agreeing at Kani's suggestion.
"You do that. Besides, I have a big payback to Sebastian for what he did to you guys," Tony said in anger.
"So then what are we waiting for, let's get to the Staples Center and crash that concert!," Jordan said. Everybody shouted as they all left Saga's lair.
It's already nighttime at the Staples Center as Big Time Rush fans are getting impatient at entering the sports center as the other fans inside are shouting the band's name in excitement. However at backstage, Sebastian is looking at the fans with an evil grin before closing the curtains near him to secretly gives out orders to his slaves and the robotic duplicates of BTR.
"You three, guard the backstage area," he says to Mrs. Knight, Gustavo and Kelly before turning to his robot duplicates. "And you four get ready to go on stage."
"Yes, creator," the Kendall bot said. Sebastian smirked as he said, "Soon my name will be know throughout the entire world once more!"
Meanwhile, in the underground, a grate opens and Katie, followed by the Runners and BTR climbed out of it.
"Ew, did we have to go down into the sewers to get in?," Calla said as she shook sewer water from her shoes.
"It was that or come in through the roof," Katie said.
"I'd have be up for that," Carlos said.
"Me too," Bren said.
"Now we need to stop Saga and fast, before he brainwashes the world," Jordan said.
Then, Tony meditates again as their now worn, but hidden necklaces glowed again and their eyes flashed purple for a second.
"I brainwashed you guys again so you can resist Sebastian's hypnosis program when it's activated," Tony explained.
"Good, so the plan's simple, we lead Tony to Sebastian, stop the concert, and save BTR's loved ones without anyone get hurt," Zeus explained.
"Great plan, Starr. Except there's one problem on that last part," Bren said.
"What?"
"Them."
He pointed at the silver and black suited men coming towards them.
"We'll take care of these Dopes in Silver and Black, you guys get to the stage!" Kani said to her friends as she and Bren pull out their weapons from their sheathes as Amica transforms into her adult tiger form, with Katie riding on her back.
"Be careful, guys!" Calla said as she and the others left them to get to their destination.
"Okay, creeps. Time to burn these guys to crisp!" Bren said as he prepares himself to attack. "Fire Tornado!"
Before he can execute his skill, Kani stops him and says, "Hate to burst your bubble, Revie. But one, that skill name is unoriginal and two, it's lame."
"Okay then, uh, Fire Spin!"
"What are you, a Pokémon?," Katie asked as Amica yawned.
"Fire Hurricane!"
"Lame."
"Fire Storm?"
"No way, Bren-se."
As the silver and black suited men are coming towards them, Bren gets angry upon the girls' criticism and says, "Enough! Before I fry you two as well with my FIRE VORTEX!"
Using the fire igniting from his daggers, he suddenly started spinning around in a circle and eventually turned himself into a fire tornado which then swept up and blew away some of the silver and black suited men.
"Way the go, Bren!" Kani said.
"And awesome skill name," Katie added in an impressed tone.
"Thanks. At least I got a good remark from you two."
Meanwhile the robot duplicates of Big Time Rush had just finished the song, "'Til I Forget About You." As they did that Sebastian's slaves activated the hypnosis machine that transmitted the program into the cameras, satellites, and speakers. The evil guitarist smiled as he prepared to go onstage.
"And now," the Kendall-bot said. "We present a special friend to you all, a man who has been out of the music biz for many years now and is about to make a big comeback right now. So put your hands together for the one and only…Sebastian Saga!"
The curtain behind the bots went up to reveal Sebastian with his guitar ready to play and control the people.
"Sorry, Sebastian! But we're cancelling your return concert!"
Shocked at the familiar voice, Sebastian turns around to see Jordan, Tony, Zeus, and Calla with their weapons in hand and BTR by their side, horrified that they managed to free from his hypnosis.
"You brats again?," he said in shock. "How'd you escape my studio and death traps? And why are you not hypnotized?"
Tony then shows his own purple meteorite necklace to Sebastian as his eyes glowed purple.
"Looks like you're not the only one who can use hypnotizing rocks, Sebastian," he said to the evil guitarist, referring the events of their previous confrontation.
"Clever, Clark. But you and your tone-deaf friends won't stop me this time."
He snapped his fingers, causing the BTR-bots to appear behind him.
"Bots, destroy them!," Sebastian said as he fled, with the robotic duplicates preparing to attack them.
As Sebastian is getting away, Calla says to her friends, "Catch him! I'll take care of these BTR fakes!"
"But you can't fight them all by yourself!" Jordan said in worry.
"She won't be all by herself," Carlos said as he put on his helmet and picked up a nearby pipe. "Because she'll have me with her."
"And me, the one and only James Diamond!," James said as he picked up a metal rod.
"Thanks boys," Calla said as she turned to her friends. "Now you guys go stop that madman musician!"
As the Runners left Calla, Carlos, and James, to take care of the robots, the Runners try to get to Sebastian, only to be stopped by Mrs. Knight, Gustavo, and Kelly.
"Oh, hey guys! And hi Mom," Kendall sheepishly said to them. "Loving the show?"
"It's great, until you dogs WRECKED IT!," Gustavo shouted.
"And now you are going down," Kelly said.
"With a capital 'D'," said Mrs. Knight. With that, the three attacked the Runners, as well as Kendall and Logan, who dodged all of the attacks.
"Tony, you go get Saga! Let us hold them off!," Jordan shouted.
"No way, I'm not leaving you," Tony said.
"Get him, Tony! Before it's too late!" Jordan said to her friend.
"But..."
"You want payback from his evil plans, right? Then do it!" Zeus said as he prepares his katana. "Jordan and I will stall them with a little help from BTR."
"We'll be alright, T! I promise."
Realizing that they are risking their lives to make it this far, Tony decided to chase Sebastian before he says to his friends, "Okay, guys. Be careful!"
As he left his friends, he activates the conversion app in his RunCom and shouts out, "RUN CONVERSION! LOG IN!"
In a flash of black light, he transforms back into Itzal as he uses his summoned scythe to propel himself to the ceiling of Staples Center.
Back at the maze-like underground of the Center, Calla, Bren, Katie, and Amica are still fighting at the silver and black suited men as the latter two charged to some of them. However, they quickly pull out some electric-activated taser rods.
"Uh, Amica. You do realized that those guys will shock us the moment we charged at them?" Katie asked in fear, now scared upon seeing the men with the rods.
However for Amica, she suddenly roars in the air, which vines and trees suddenly sprout out from the ground as they quickly grabbed the men's feet, much to their and Katie's shock before the latter smiles with confidence.
"On second thought, tackle away!"
With that, Amica tackles the trapped men and starts to maul them without injuring them.
"The -Faunia Reader- skill ain't kidding that Amica can control plant life with -Roar of Nature- skill," Kani said in an impressed tone before going back into battle. "Now to take care the rest of these clowns. Spore Touch!"
Shouting out her new custom skill, she dashed to two men in front of her and pushed them with her aura-charged hands. The men found themselves growing vines from where she touched them and soon were wrapped in vines with flowers. However, she noticed some more men are coming behind her.
"Oh no, you're not!" she said in anger as she pulls out some kind of tarot-like cards, which transformed into kunais as she throws them to the silver and black suited men. "Random Plague!"
She threw the kunais at the men, hitting almost half of them. The magic of the kunai caused them to fall ill and woozy, and disoriented.
"Leaf's Blade Slash!," Kani cried as she drew her sword and slashed the men, who stood for a moment before collapsing.
"Uh, Bren? If I may remember, your element is Fire, right? Don't you got any skills or ability to make an explosion or something?" Kani said in panic.
"Oh yes I do!"
Bren quickly jumps in front of Kani as he pulls out some red throwing daggers with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Here's a present from the first Filipino S-Runner! Meteor Daggers!" he shouted as he throws the daggers to the men. But as they missed their targets, the men and Kani noticed that nothing happens.
"What?! That's the best you can do?!," she screamed angrily. "We're in the middle of a battle and you try and use an ability that doesn't work? You have some nerve calling yourself a Runner, because I-"
Suddenly the daggers all exploded behind the men sending them all flying as everyone watched in surprise.
"Exploding daggers and higher -Burn- status ailment chance. Am I cool or what?" Bren cockily said as Kani, Katie, and even Amica only stared at what just happened in shock.
Meanwhile, Calla, Carlos and James were still battling the BTR-bots. The bots had proven to be much more powerful than they had anticipated.
"Man, how are we gonna beat us?," Carlos said as he struggled with his double.
"I dunno, I never thought we could be this strong…and handsome," James said as he struggled with his double.
"Don't worry boys, leave it to me," Calla said as she blocked the blows from the Kendall and Logan-bots. She then held out her palm and shouted, "Vortex Palm!"
A large tornado sprouted out of her hand, and swooped up all the BTR-bots at once. With them trapped in the vortex, Calla quickly made her next move.
"Double Sky Slash!," she cried as she jumped up and slashed the four bots with her spear in a rapid motion. The vortex dissipated and Calla and the bots landed on their feet. As Calla turned, the bots stood for a few seconds and then suddenly fell to pieces from the slashes.
"Whoa, that was cool," James said.
"Well that's us," Calla said casually.
Meanwhile at the ceiling catwalk, Sebastian is trying to work on his hypnosis machine on a hidden control panel when he heard a familiar voice.
"Don't even think about it, Sebastian."
He turns around to see Itzal with his scythe in his hand.
"Your mind control worshiping days are over," he said with determination.
"Clark, you little fool!," Sebastian said. "Did you really think I wouldn't have some backup controls?"
"No, but it won't matter, because you are finished."
"Not quite," Sebastian retorted as he turned up a dial on the control panel. "I've just cranked the machine up to maximum power. Now you'll never stop you ore your friends from falling under it's control again!"
However, Itzal just smirk at him and said, "You really think so?"
He then close his eyes as he starts to meditate with his scythe's gem starts to glow with his necklace.
"Mind Blinding! Assassin's Mask!"
Shouting out his trump skill, his eyes suddenly become dull and suddenly covered in black-infused purple aura with his scythe's blade now covered in bigger black aura blade.
"Cute trick, kid. Too bad that won't stop me!" Sebastian said as he saw Itzal's current form without any fear. "Because I will soon be the rock and roll king of the world once more!"
"Your own rock and roll legend has already faded and your worshipers are nothing but your brainwashed slaves!" Itzal said in an emotionless tone. "I will never forgive you. And because of that, I have no choice but to eliminate you."
"Well, try and stop me!"
"I was hoping you'd say that."
With that Itzal charged at Sebastian and slashed at him, only for him to block the blow with his guitar. Itzal continued to slash at him only for him to parry the attacks, essentially driving him back. Sebastian then counterattacked forcing Itzal on the defensive and out into a corridor where the duel continued.
Meanwhile, Jordan and Zeus are still trying to incapacitate Kendall and Logan's loved ones as the latter two dodge every attack they made. Havin enough of this, Jordan pulls out her staff to stop this once and for all. However, as she tries to cry out her skill, she starts to hesitate.
"Tsu...nami... Swirl..."
Jordan then screams in dismay and says, "Even if the big BTR boss is very mean, I can't hurt or wash them away. Oh man, I can't even incapacitate them either."
"Oh yes you can! Use your ability on their feet!" Zeus said as he points to Gustavo, Kelly, and Mrs. Knight.
"Ability?" she asked in confusion before realizing what he just meant. "Oh, I almost forgot about that!"
She then creates three aura orbs and summons a small floating pool of water. Then she combines them all and freezes the water altogether, creating her very own...
"Crystal Grenades!"
She quickly throws the crystals to the three and when they hit the ground near them, they quickly exploded, encasing their feet in ice.
"What the?," Mrs. Knight said as the three struggled to get free.
"Let us out of here right now," Kelly demanded.
"Just wait until I get my hands on you dogs, I am gonna-," Gustavo said, until suddenly, Kendall hits him in back of the head with a fire extinguisher, knocking him out. At the same time, Logan hits Mrs. Knight and Kelly with a stage light, knocking them out too.
"Not bad guys," Zeus said.
"Thanks," Logan said.
"Just hope we don't get grounded, or worse, killed for this," Kendall said with worry.
"Don't worry, most mind control often ends with the victims not remembering what happened to them," Jordan said.
"That's a relief," Kendall said with a sigh.
Back on the catwalks, Itzal (still in his -Assassin's Mask-) and Sebastian continued their battle. After parrying several slashes and blows from each other, the two locked their weapons together and pushed, trying to gain the upper hand on each other.
"Well I gotta hand it to ya, Clark, Sebastian said. "With your siblings you were a pest, but now you're a bigger pain in the neck than I ever would have thought possible."
"Well, I have that effect on evil villains when foiling their schemes, which is what I'm gonna do with yours…again!," Itzal said as he broke the lock, pushing Sebastian back.
"We'll see about that, boy!"
The two then resumed their duel above the Center.
Meanwhile at the audience, Andre and Layla saw Itzal battling Sebastian in the catwalk.
"Come on, we gotta help him out!" Andre said as he runs to the ladders, but Layla stopped him.
"No, according to his profile, he used his very own trump custom skill to temporary give up his memories for power whenever he does his work as the -Dark Reaper-," she explained.
"Wait, rewind! You meant to tell me that Itzal is the vigilant PKer of the Black and White Union?!"
"Yes, but I can explain later. I got an even better idea."
Layla then climbed up the stage, took the mic, and shouts out, "Sebastian Saga is nothing but a big old washup!"
Under Sebastian's mind control, the audience starts to get angry at her insult.
"That's a good idea," Andre said as he joins Layla and took another mic. "In fact Sebastian Saga's so old, his birth certificate is written in Roman numerals!"
Enraged, the audience starts to chase the two, which they mischievously lead them out of the Staples Center. As they were chased by the audience, Layla pulls out her RunCom and calls her superior as she says, "Ms. Reyheart! We're leading the audience out of the Staples Center as we speak."
"No need to tell me. The other Runners are on their way," Tina said before Layla hangs up.
Meanwhile back at the underground maze, Bren, Kani, Katie, and Amica are now exhausted from fighting the silver and black suited men as they are now surrounded by them.
"Okay, no... more... Ms... Nice Runner," Kani panted without losing her determination. "Time to end this! Amica!"
Katie jumped out of the Tigreria's back as Kani takes her place.
"Right behind you!"
Amica roared and reared with Kani on her back, sword ready. As she did, the two of them glowed with a bright green aura,that shaped itself into a tiger-like form.
"Nature Fang Blast!" Kani shouted and she and Amica charged at the shocked men as she slashes them with her now-humming sword while Amica bites them, which the tiger aura does the same.
The men all yelped and screamed in pain as the blade hit them and the Tigeria bit them sending them all flying back.
"Hey, guys! Don't leave me hanging in here!" Bren called out as his daggers' gems starts to glow and when he jumps in the air, he was covered in a bird-shaped fire aura.
"Phoenix Mutya Slash!" he shouted as he "flies" to the men and slashed them with his aura-charged daggers, causing them to faint, but woke up after that due to the fire on their clothes.
"Retreat!" The leader said as the henchmen ran off.
"Well, it's as they say: You play with fire, you're gonna get burned!," Bren said as he twirled his daggers.
"Nice one!," Kani and Katie said together.
"Thank you."
Back on the catwalks, Itzal (still empowered by his -Assassin's Mask-) was now on the defensive, blocking Sebastian's blows with his guitar. Eventually, the villain forced the Dark Runner to the end of it and they locked their weapons together, as Sebastian started to try to push Itzal over the railing.
"Time's up, Clark," Sebastian said as he's about to push him off the catwalk. "Your spy career is over."
As he does his evil laugh, Itzal noticed some cables that is supporting the catwalk, which he snaps out his own hypnosis, realizing that he's got an idea. Upon realizing this, he was back in his own mind control as he says in an emotionless tone, "Actually, Sebastian. Your music villain career is over! Blackout Push!"
Using his dark aura-charged hand, he pushed Sebastian, freeing him in the process. After that, he quickly raised his scythe, which it's gem starts to glow bright purple. At the same time, darkness starts to swarm to him and Sebastian, much to his shock and horror.
"Prepare to face your dark fate!"
Sebastian looked on in horror as Itzal, now with a dark and cold look on his face, raised his scythe to strike.
"No, please! No! NO!"
"Underworld..."
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
"CALL!"
With a flick of his black aura bladed scythe, he sliced off the cable from the small part of the catwalk where Sebastian is now, causing him to fall off from it and his earplugs (which was worn to prevent himself from his own hypnosis machine) fell off. Hearing Sebastian's scream, Kani was shocked to see him fell off after she, Bren, Katie, and Amica got out underground.
"Amica, catch him!" Kani ordered her Faunia, which she followed without hesitation as Amica jumps up the wall and catches him before landing on her feet.
Back at the catwalk, Itzal's -Assassin's Mask- hypnosis quickly worn off, causing his eyes go back to normal and the aura around him and the scythe disperse as he fainted in exhaustion.
Later, Tina and the other Runners (wearing headphones thanks to Layla's warnings) arrived as the latter starts to knock out the brainwashed audience to prevent riots.
"I hope we made it just in time," Tina prayed as Jordan, Zeus, Calla, Bren, and Kani approached her with BTR and Katie. "Wait, where's Kurosawa?"
"Look up, guys!"
Hearing his voice, everyone looked up to see Itzal, now woke up and back to normal, near the hidden control panel, who he's now starting to deactivate it.
"I don't know about techno stuff like Marc does, but I somehow managed to deactivate the hypnosis machine and started reversing the mind control process right now," Itzal said through his RunCom.
"Excellent work, Itzal. Only where is the culprit?"
"Over there," Itzal said as he pointed at Sebastian who seemed dazed and blank.
"Sebastian Saga is the king!," he shouted mindlessly.
"Done in by his own hypnotism," Andre said. "How embarrassing."
"Big Time Rush, I'm happy to tell you that as soon your manager, her assistant, and your guardian, free from Sebastian's mind control, their memory will be erased from what just happened here, including the plans for a concert," Tina explained to the band. "As for your memories, well don't worry about it. I think I trust you four along with Knight's sister will sealed your lips about this and our identities."
"No prob," Kendall said. "We've gotten into quite a few 'save the world' scrapes ourselves."
"Yeah so no need to worry about us telling anyone," Carlos added.
"If you guys are okay with us knowing," Logan asked.
"No worries," Jordan said.
"Of course we're cool with it," Zeus said.
"Absolutely," Bren put in.
"I'm okay with that, as long as I'm with you," Calla said in lovestruck as she hugs James tightly.
James chuckled sheepishly as he mouthed, "Help me!" to his friends.
"But what about our concert?" Kendall asked.
"Since this concert was actually part of Sebastian's machinations, I suggest you have to cancel it, until you feel like it's safe to do a concert in Staples Center."
"Well, Griffin's not gonna like this," Logan said.
"I know, he hates having to give out refunds."
The next day, the UR Gamer Club are now chatting with BTR and Katie about what happened last night in Calla's favorite desert shop.
"Sorry about your concert being cancelled," Jordan said.
"Usually, I'm disappointed, too. But like your boss said, the concert is actually part of that Sebastian guy's plan in the first place," Kendall said.
"So that's another BTR concert at the Staples Center that I don't get to see," Calla said disappointed.
"Well, we can't stand seeing one of our biggest fans upset," James said.
"So to make it up to one of biggest fans we have this for you," Logan said as he gave her a large rolled up something. Calla took it and unfolded it only to find it was her own BTR poster, now with all of the member's autographs.
"This is...where did you…?," she asked stunned.
"Your cousin gave it to us to sign," Carlos said.
"We thought it would make up for the concert," Kendall said.
Seeing her now signed poster, Calla screamed even more and starts to hug BTR tightly in excitement.
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'LL NEVER, EVER TEAR THIS OFF FROM MY WALL AGAIN!" she shouted in glee.
"Uh, no biggie," they all grunted as she squeezed them all for a few more minutes before letting go.
"So now what you guys gonna do now? Until Ms. Reyheart is done with booking a ride back to Hollywood and your loved ones are still currently have their memories erased, you five are stuck here," Zeus asked in worry.
Jordan thought for a second and when she got an idea, she spoke up, "Maybe I can show you guys my favorite video game store! They got some new games in stock."
"You like video games?!" James asked in shock. "But you're a girl!"
"Trust me, pretty boy. I didn't where these clothes and wear a GX Portable holster in my belt around for nothing," Jordan said with confidence.
"And maybe we'll show you our favorite hangouts, too," Itzal added. "That will kill some time."
"And check out Calla's mansion," Andre said. "It's like a palace, dudes. Large kitchen, living room, home theater, mile-long-and-wide pool, you name it!"
"Man, we totally gotta check that out," Kendall said.
"Yeah, except there's one problem," Logan said.
"What?" Bren asked in confusion.
"Famous boy band plus public equals..."
He then points in front of him and finishes, "Them."
They turned around to saw Lena and her posse rushing over to the desert shop in lovestruck while holding cameras and BTR posters upon seeing the band.
"It's Big Time Rush, my most favorite boy singer group thingy of all time!," Sierra screamed.
"Sign our posters!," the other posse members said.
"Hey boys, why don't you ditch these losers and come hang with some real fans," Lena said to the band.
"Don't worry, Kani already hired you guys a LA bodyguard," Layla said to BTR as Kani whistles at someone.
As Lena and her posse are almost to the shop, they were stopped by Amica growling at them, who is currently in her tiger cub form and somehow wearing a bodyguard outfit.
"Uh, nice kitty," Lena said as she stepped up to Amica and extended her hand. "Nice ki-"
Amica snapped at Lena, forcing her to retreat. The cub then lunged at them and Lena and her posse who ran away screaming with Amica chasing her down.
"Wow, Amica's one cool tiger and a great bodyguard," Katie quipped.
"Remind me to hire her the next time we're here," Carlos remarked.
As Lena and her posse got chased by Amica, the Runners quickly hummed the first lines of a familiar song.
Runners: Oh Oh Ohhhh Ohhhhh
Everyone laughed at this as they continue to watch Lena and her posse getting chased by Amica.
A/N: I agree. Amica would be a great bodyguard! Watch out for the next episode announcement in the Unitas Lounge forum, review, and stay tuned!
NashWalker's A/N: And in other news, the Universal Runners: Project Arcanum Preview currently has 35 hits. Runner wants it to get between 50-100 hits by tomorrow. If it does, you'll get a new teaser.
