Spells and Louds
Chapter 1,018: Operation: Glitch-Mod-Secure.

(The Town of Bailey.)

The peaceful town, which is where everyone is having their normal day is not going so normal at one of the warehouses which Ridley is always going to, and it is now surrounded by the group of folks known as, the Glitch Techs.

The Glitch Techs are a group of secret operators who work for Hinobi, dedicated to stopping and containing the various monstrous "glitches" that have a tendency to exit the company's games. They work in secret so that the people won't know those glitches exist, and that they come from Hinobi's products and games.

Phil Altiere is the manager of the Hinobi store in Bailley and director of Glitch Techs' Bailley branch. Phil, as the boss, dispatches the Glitch Techs to take care of Glitches and to clean up the messes they cause. This role is shared with BITT, who helps with directing Glitch Techs around, arranging for backup, and dispatching specialized powerups. He is also a veteran Glitch Tech himself, and while he rarely joins in the hunt himself, he is capable and skilled in his own right.

BITT (acronym for Binary Intelligence Tech Trainer) is a robot that assists Hinobi and the Bailley Glitch Techs team. BITT is a floating robot that assists the Glitch Techs with information. He also serves as the link between Phil and the higher-ups at Hinobi. He's the one who directs Glitch Techs around, arranging for backup, and dispatches specialized powerups from HQ. This role is shared with Phil, who dispatches the Glitch Techs to take care of Glitches and clean up the messes they cause.

Members of the Glitch Techs: Hector "High Five" Nieves, Miko Kubota, Mitchell "Mitch" Williams, Haneesh Jyoshi, Zahra Rashid, Cecil "Bergy" Bergoch, Adam Nix, Ally, Alpha and several others who are unknown and too many to be named.

All of them surround the place, and then Phil uses a megaphone, and the megaphone is actually BITT. "Alright, this is what's gonna go down Ridley. We just wanna talk and we're also gonna need those modded glitches you have in there. They're too dangerous and we cannot have them just running around like crazy."

Miko then has her megaphone. "Ridley! Please, we just wanna help you..."

"Hey! Back off with that thing will ya?" Phil scolds her. "There's one megaphone here, and recall I am your boss. Seriously, I am the one..."

High Five then has one. "Ridley, we don't wanna do anything bad, your mods are awesome and even Mitch thinks so." Mitch is surprised he would mention that, and then he yells back.

"Hey! It was that one time, and I did that to help stop the glitches from attacking our base!"

Phil sighs. "This is not what I was expecting to deal with." He then calls out. "Look, Ridley. We get that you wanna have these modded glitches around as your friends, but we can talk about this, and even the whole thing on how you managed to remember everything about the Glitch Techs and what happened that day when you hacked our system just to get access to a gauntlet system."

Mitch whistles and then explains. "Phil, I think waiting around for some pathetic kid is a waste of time. We should hit the place hard, before things turn bad for everyone. There are glitches in there!"

Phil sighs, but then Miko intervenes. "Wait, stop! Phil, please... Let us talk to her, we can reason with her and then we can make this whole thing less of a problem. Ridley is not that dangerous."

Bergy then speaks. "But didn't she break into the Hinobi and then unleashed a lot of glitches from..."

"Dude, knock it off!" High Five then speaks to Phil. "Please, let us talk to her. We don't wanna have anyone else hurt. I mean, she has a lot of modded glitches and we can't let anyone else get hurt, and even though they are trained, they don't know that... ummm, that we don't know how to handle?"

Phil is less than amused, and then BITT speaks. "They are presumably correct. There are n-no records or any special training when facing such g-glitches." FYI: BITT sounds like that because he is a glitchy robot that they forgot to renew. But he means well.

Phil then thinks about this. "Alright, fine, But you two have five minutes, if this doesn't work out then we are busting in, with everything we got." all the glitch techs are armed with everything they have. "Then when this is done, we are resetting her."

But then they see some weird aircraft fly by and these aircraft are Medivac Special Dropships, and escorted by Banshees and Vikings, and this confuses them. "That's normal, right?" asked Nix.

"No, no it is not" replied Phil. "Miko and Five, go and talk to Ridley. Something seems off."

Miko and High Five nod, and the duo are about to head into the warehouse, with their pet companions, ally and Alpha. Then the warehouse shakes, and then some large cybernetic generators come online and they make a powerful barrier. "Holy nerds!"

Then Ridley appears on the tower, and it is defended by a shield and she has her companion Horn. "You guys don't want me or my modded glitches that are helping video games? Then so be it!" She then has a communicator. "Guys, take us home."

They hear the sound of something from the sky and a portal is made, and they see three Raven aircraft are in the area, and then high in the sky, the Rathalos named Scorcher appears, and then lands down and is above Ridley and with Marcy riding him. "Everyone back off, or else someone is gonna get burned and we don't wanna hurt anyone!"

Then Martin's voice is heard. "Ridley, we are in the warehouse and the portal is up. All Modded Glitches are on the move, keep those Glitch Tech cops away from here, now!"

Then Jack Cyber's voice is heard. "Operation: Glitch-Mod-Secure is underway, and you're parents are also inbound to be moved, prepare for another worldly homeworld bound transfer! Incoming!"

Then Phil gives the word. "I don't know what the heck is going on, but this kid and her Mods are coming with us."

"No chance, dude!" A frost Wyrm lands down and with Luna Frost onboard, and she slams her Runeblade to the ground and summons ice golems to defend the place. "She is with us, and we see her mods and glitches as an awesome set of her hard work, hard work which you dorks wouldn't understand, and her mods help those Hinobi game things, and stop glitches. Why else have there been less glitch attacks?" She crosses her arms.

Though they stare in awe at the ice powered super lady, they do realize that what she says is all true. Mitch then speaks. "Wait, you are the one who has been stopping glitch attacks across the town?"

Ridley smirks. "Ya darn right, you Griefer. Also, you guys may have survived glitch attacks, but these guys aren't glitches. This ain't no simulation, this is reality and they are also my friends... Friends who understand me, and wanna help me and I am glad to be part of FutureTech, and at FutureTech, the Future is now!" Some fireworks go off, and Chomp Kitty roars.

Martin. "She makes me so happy! I am so proud!"

Victor. "Stop your crying, dingus!"

Phil is confused. "Wait, what?"

Then the walls are broken and then Boomer has his toxic scythe. "Whose ready to rumble?!"

"I got this! Glitch Techs, reset them!" Mitch and the others all prepare the reset, but Miko and Give try to stop them, but it is too late. Marcy and Luna and Ridley look away, but then Martin enhances the barrier, except Boomer is outside and he is hit.

But they see Boomer is still the same, and there is an error reset above him. "Huh, well that was weird."

Mitch is confused and surprised. "What the heck?! He can't be reset?!"

"Mitch!" Phil then yells at him. "Just because you are the best star on the team, that doesn't mean you can give the orders, unless I say so! Also, what the heck happened to that guy?"

Boomer chuckles. "Come and get some, you want Ridley and her mods, then let's see you guys get through us!"

Phil sighs. "Guys, stand down. Hey, we can talk about this. We just wanna know what the heck is going on here."

Ridley then speaks. "To the fact the whole Hinobi thing is turning twisted and confusing, we'd rather not and you guys won't even be fine with the mods I make! Guys, what's the status on the mod glitch evac?"

Martin. "Nearly there, just gotta move Legends of Zelda Chomp Kitty dragon thing, or whatever it is."

High Five then calls out. "Ridley, stop! You can trust us, right? We are your friends and we are sorry for spying on you or watching over you and..."

"Ridley!" Miko pushes her partner aside. "I know that... We haven't hung out with ya, and we didn't do much to try and reason to make you an honorary glitch tech, and you made mistakes. But we can help you and also you can help us. You're mods can be useful, help the teams with what they need and can help us fight glitches and make sure everyone is safe, heck I bet Hinobi would be fine with what you can do to fix all video games. Please, just... Come over, and we can talk about this. You can trust us, right?"

Marcy can see the concern and sincere, and then she looks towards Ridley. "Ridley?"

Ridley is surprised, and confused and then she wipes away some tears. "After everything that has gone down, I made a mistake and snuck in so that I can get what I needed, and I tricked you guys and I made things worse. I copied the glitch tech gauntlet and got what I wanted, and I am sorry for what I have done, and it wouldn't be wise for me to give myself up and my mods like that."

"The folks at Hinobi would take advantage of what I can do, and make them into something else. They will do something else to the modded glitches I made, and I made them to help others and make the video games less glitchy and more fun, and I intend to continue doing that. So, I am sorry Miko... But after meeting these guys, I have found the people who legit know me, understand me and I can call them friends. Sorry, Miko."

Miko can see that Ridley is serious and she nods. "Alright..." Everyone looks to her. "Do what you have to do, but... We'll see each other again, right?"

Ridley sighs. "Honestly, I don't know."

Jack Cyber. "Ridley, I have your parents, and they are now aware of what is happening and they are all in on the word, move! Also..."

"Incoming!" They all look up and the dropship and aerial escorts fly by and the Glitch Techs all get down, and the aircraft go through a portal, and then it closes.

Martin. "Ridley! We did it, all Modded Glitches are through, and we are ready for secondary warp to Royal Woods Ridley Flare Mods Warehouse Space! Wow we need a better name for that place."

"Working progress! Alright, guys. We're bailing, now!" Ridley then sees the portal open, and so the others all head inside, and then Ridley looks back and sees the Glitch Techs, and Miko, and she sighs. "So long, I do hope that one day we will meet again, Miko, and also you too Five."

Miko and High Five nod. "Take care Ridley."

Ridley then looks towards Mitch. "Hey, Griefer. Thanks for letting me go, dude."

Mitch is shocked. "What?!"

Phil looks to Mitch sternly. "What?"

Ridley then does a dab, and then she goes through the portal, the whole warehouse shakes and then it slowly fades into pixels and then disappears, leaving an empty lot. High Five and Miko walk back to their vehicles, and so do the other Glitch Techs.

Phil goes over to Mitch. "When we get back, we're gonna have a big talk." Mitch knows that he is in deep trouble for what had happened back then.
