Chapter 3: Aggregating Alliance
The Rebel Dolls arrive at the Chinese Garden of Friendship when coming off the Central Station train.
"Five minutes went by like that. The speed of the train is amazing, mate," said Ayupan.
"Getting into the culture already? Hehe," said Bloody Bunny.
"I want to be in a kangaroo pouch," said Mumu.
"But why, Mumu?"
"It feels right."
"This Mystical Map is acting up. Because the pinpoint is moving around," said Sloth Doll, shaking the map while they all entered the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
"But that would mean someone else has the Mystical Stone," said Killer Bunny.
"It might be the Dark Bosses who got to it first," said Assassin Bunny.
"Now the Mystical Map is showing two pinpoints moving. This map is older than all of us combined," Sloth Doll said.
"Two pinpoints?" said Bloody Bunny.
"I see you're better now, White Chocolate Bunny," said a voice.
When the Rebel Dolls reach the Dragon Wall, they see the cloaked Dark Bosses, Vampire Lord, and Mummy Minion staring at them. The Rebel Dolls do their battle stance. But when their enemies unhooded themselves, they revealed they were covered in dirt, grime, scratches, and bruises.
The Rebel Dolls looked confused at what they were seeing.
"What happened to you guys? It's like you haven't eaten, slept, bathed, been in the sun, or gone to a hospital since we last saw," said Ayupan.
"Oh, you think?!" Bye-Bye Kitten answered.
"Please…Let us talk in the Garden of Lotus," said Razor Mane.
The Dark Bosses, Vampire Lord, and Mummy Minion get on their knees from exhaustion which shocks the Rebel Dolls even more.
"They're going to need some help," said Mumu.
"Yeah. It's not fun killing your enemies if they aren't strong enough to fight back," said Bloody Bunny.
At Dollworks, the Original Dark Bosses are at the central computer that shows multiple footage of what the Piron Army sees.
"Australia, huh? The world has changed a lot. How long have we been dead?" said Ms. ClawCatastrophe.
"Long enough to turn it back to what it was supposed to be," said Liqieum.
"Look at those humans. Thinking they are above us Dolls. We'll see them in order again," said The Crafty Chameleon.
Scizzor says, "Where can those failed Dark Bosses be with the Vampire Lord and Mummy Minion? Every failure must die."
Glider types on the computer's keyboard, but his tail gets played by the Hanging Maniacal Monkey.
"Monkey, if you continue to claw my tail! So help me, I will laser eye you," said Glider.
"Fuzzy tails are fun to play. Monkey don't care if you get angry," said the Hanging Maniacal Monkey.
"How long will it take for those Pirons to find some toys?! Give them one hundred percent power," said Spiral the Spider.
"You heard the Spider. Full power, Glider," said Ms. ClawCatastrophe.
"Yes, Ms," he responds, doing a few clicks before turning a nob.
At the Garden of Lotus in the Chinese Garden of Friendship, the Dark Bosses, the Vampire Lord, and Mummy Minion are healed and cleaned while happily eating the food it serves. The Rebel Doll looked at them, confused and suspicious.
"The Dark Rabbit charm works all the time," he said.
"No, it doesn't," said Bye-Bye Kitten.
"Now that's something I would agree with when it comes to you toys," said Killer Bunny.
"Okay, what is the meaning of this? You show up to us so you can ask us for help is unlike you," said Bloody Bunny.
"Trust me, we didn't want to do this, but Dark Rabbit insisted on it," said Razor Mane.
"Yeah…Now, my question?"
"Have you ever heard of the Original Dark Bosses?" Serious Kuma said.
"Tch! Of course, I met them in the past and killed them all."
"Well, the CEO brought them back from beyond the grave."
"WHAT?!" the Rebel Dolls shocked.
"Yes, it's true," the Vampire Lord continued. "They wouldn't have returned if you kept making us fail on every mission. We had to escape Dollworks and go into hiding so they could take our place by killing us. This is all your fault!"
"Our fault?! You keep trying to capture Bloody Bunny and conquer the world! Of course, we have to intervene," said Assassin Bunny.
"Need I remind you that your daughter has god powers?!"
"What are you talking about? I don't have them anymore," Bloody Bunny answered.
"What?!" the Dark Bosses surprised.
"Well, duh."
"You lied to us?!" Dark Rabbit yelled at the Vampire Lord.
"No, she's lying! She still has god powers, I know it," he answered.
"To be honest, I'm not even sure I have them," Bloody Bunny thought.
"I don't want to hear it, Fang-pooch!" Dark Rabbit continued. "Bloody Baby, since we have nowhere to go and no long have our missions in mind, maybe we can stay with you."
"Are you joking?"
"I told ya she won't accept it," said Bye-Bye Kitten.
"I employ you reconsider, BB. We got a deal that you can't resist," said Dark Rabbit, taking out a black case.
Upon opening it, he takes out the Mystical Stone of Australia for Ayupan to say, "Hey! That's ours!"
"Finders keepers, if you let us stay with you, you can have it."
"Darn…you sure know how to play your cards for villains," said Assassin Bunny.
"Will it take more than one stone to convince you?"
"Probably," Mumu answered.
Dark Rabbit takes out a diamond shape white stone and says, "How about now?"
"What?! You have the final Mystical Stone?! But it was supposed to be in Antarctica!" said Sloth Doll, slamming his fists on the table.
"Is that what that icy wasteland called? We were lucky to keep it with us when we escaped Dollworks. And apparently, its magical powers take the cold from it to make it melt. A stone that can steal the coldness from reliable ice. How cruel. I don't get why you need them," said Razor Mane.
"Dollworks is near Antarctica?!" Bloody Bunny exclaimed.
"See what you're dealing with? Not only do we have the stones you need, but we also have the information on Dollworks' location, all its maps, and their plans. We thought they might come in handy," said Serious Kuma, taking out three folders from the case.
The Rebel Dolls sweat, eager to have what the Dark Bosses, the Vampire Lord, and the Mummy Minion want to give.
"I can tell by the dumbfounded look in your eyes that you want what we collected. They can be yours if you let us stay with you," said the Vampire Lord.
"Darn, you Dark Dolls! You drive a hard bargain," Bloody Bunny annoyed.
"Fighting is one thing, but business negotiation is what a Dark Boss is all about," Dark Rabbit continued. "Also, Bloody Bunny, I've taken your words to heart."
"My words?"
"Do I enjoy working for Dollworks? Well, since the CEO returned, things were as smooth and easygoing. So much overtime, work overload, and never-ending training. It was hard enough to catch a break."
"Now that he mentions it, he's right. I can't stand doing all of the work. It cost me my beauty sleep," said Bye-Bye Kitten.
"I can't even recall the last time I had me-time," said Razor Mane.
"They won't allow me to eat as much as I want. Just three meals a day…," Serious Kuma upset.
"Also, we wish to make the CEO regret trying to replace us and putting us through so much suffering," said the Vampire Lord, as the Mummy Minion nodded.
"So, we have a deal?" Dark Rabbit smiled.
Before Bloody Bunny could respond, a scream was heard from outside. Without hesitation, the Rebel Dolls run out to check out the commotion.
"Hey, what about our deal?!" Dark Rabbit said.
"And what about the bill?!" said Bye-Bye Kitten.
"What would cause someone to scream like that?" Serious Kuma asks.
"Seriously, Kuma? It has to be Dolloworks," said Razor Mane.
"We better go help them out," said the Vampire Lord.
After the Mummy Minion nodded, the Dark Bosses, the Vampire Lord, and the Mummy Minion followed the Rebel Dolls outside. But Dark Rabbit returned to pack everything up in the suitcase before going to follow.
