I'm also happy for all those who are following and faved this story, and also the reviews that are most appreciated for what you think of it and ideas.

Chapter 68: Rescue the princess

In Alfea where it was night on Magix, on top of the roof was none other than Stormy who had infiltrated the school to find anything about the second piece of the Codex on the orders of Darkar. Using the night as an advantage to find the Codex using a spell that could do the trick and with none of the Winx to be aware of it as some went elsewhere. "Semper anima kareem spagone." Stopping her incantation to feel a familiar and irritating presence she knew too well, turning around to find Musa standing behind her by a few feet, accompanied not only by her bonded pixie but also her Titan.

"Right. I was sure I saw one of those sphere thingies come up here." Musa had noticed them floating around the school and even found out they were made from dark magic. It didn't take long for the fairy of music to connect the dots to know who would be bold enough to do such a stunt and proved her theory when confronting Stormy on top of the school building, not wanting to take any chances and bringing her Titan for backup..

Stormy stood up and stood up with a hand on her hip. "You know, you've got a lot of guts coming up here alone but thank you 'cause I was getting really really bored." Dark clouds grew above them, strengthening her powers of the element for her fight with Musa.

The leader of the Patchamen, Ben as he was called, made the first strike against Sky and Taren. "Hurricane Patchaman!" Jumps in the air throwing kicks at the prince and then lands a blow in the stomach with his fist. Taren threw a mid-air kick across, but he missed and was grabbed by the leg and thrown over, startling him by how fast he was without any magic or tech.

It was thought to be a simple mission to save a princess who to the surprise of others was engaged to Sky, or a political marriage between their kingdoms. Hearing stories about the "P-Force" behind her kidnapping… only to be confronted by a bunch of costumed vigilantes called the Patchamen that surprised them.

The Winx girls were about to come to their aid when they were startled by the robot, Kyu, that appeared behind them. Bloom knew they were not to be underestimated and needed to transform.

"Magic Winx!" Transforming into their Winx forms and ready to take on the robot

"Bashing Hammer!" Kyu clasps his hands together and fires them like a pair of missiles.

Junko then came to his side to attack. "Lip Sticker!" Throwing lipsticks at the girls.

"you'll never get Princess Diaspro to marry you!" Their leader fought against Sky, exchanging fists and made a roundhouse kick to through him off guard.

Bloom immediately projected a magical shield to block their attacks. "Flame Shield-GAH!" However, the impact of Kyu's rocket hands were too strong and pushed her far back. Flora dodged the lipsticks with the tree behind her and took the blow, what she did not expect was how strong they were to stab into the ground and tree. She started to understand why the Warlord hired them.

"They mean business!" Junko landed in front of her another round.

Taren groaned and rubbed his shoulder. "Yeah, no kidden." He finds Sky in a fight with another of the Patchamen, noting how fast this guy was and well trained to take down Sky and Brandon.

Mal was able to subdue the robot with her vines, binding him to his knees. "That should hold one of them down."

"Look out!" Mal turned around and saw Ben throwing himself at her and dodged the explosive, but Flora didn't make it and was knocked out by the child member of the team. Taren gasped to see her land beside Brandon and unconscious.

"Flora!" He was about to get up to help them when suddenly he felt a hand and pulled backwards, finding himself falling into some large shadow and vanished.

Sky was able to take one of them down with a high kick, but his moment of victory ddi not last when a net was thrown at him and restrained his movements.

"You'll never make princess Diaspro to marry you!"

Bloom saw Sky captured and realized it was not good, she spotted the robot from earlier broke free from Mal and Flora's magic vines. "Full Power Fire!" Shoots an orange blast at Kyu, taking a direct hit to cause him to break into pieces. Thinking she took him out when she noticed the female ninja showed no concern of her comrade's state while somewhat doing her makeup.

"Time to powder your nose."

Junko takes out the powder pad from her compactor and tosses it at the confused Bloom. "What is she doing- Ugh!" She suddenly started choking and could barely see or breathe, the powder must be the cause of it and tried to get her sight back.

"I can't see...!" Due to her bad vision, she failed to notice the smirking Bo standing right in front of her chuckles and punches her in the stomach, causing her to groan in pain and clutches her stomach as she collapses and loses consciousness.

"Let go of me! I'm gonna teach them a lesson they won't forget!" Taren was fighting the binds that restrained him to a tree after he was pulled away by Mal before he could gain the chance to take out the Patchamen and help their friends.

Mal ignored the ranting redhead saying how he's spouting threats because they hurt his girlfriends and their friends. Much as she found it annoying of him, but brought up a valid question and turns to Ben "What's the idea of leaving them to be captured?"

"After seeing how the P-Force easily subdued our friends, I figured to make it look like we ran." Ben explained to them with a confident smile on his face. "Plus, if they take our friends to their base we'll know where their hideout is or the palace."

Starting to understand his logic, Mal nodded in approval of the idea. "Not a bad idea. But you think our friends will be okay?"

"They better be if those so-called ninjas know a trick to vanish before I get my hands on them." Taren growls, still restrained by the vines. "What were they spouting about such crap about bringing justice when they were the ones who kidnapped the princess and attacked us in the first place?"

Taren brought up logical question about the Patchamen's motives when it was as if they were acting as… heroes? Until it came to their minds of one thing.

"Maybe they are!" Mal clicked her fingers and had a possible idea. "They probably have no idea they're the kidnappers!"

"That makes a lot of sense." Ben thought about it as well. "But we gotta hurry, we've got to find our friends and hopefully they found some proof that they made a mistake."

"Need a hand, guys?" Zing, Chatta and Lockette were hovering above the trees when they found them.

"Figured you would have escaped from those ninjas and already planning on freeing our friends." Chatta said without a doubt.

"Any luck where they are?" Mal asked the pixies.

"Locked up in the castle!" Lockette was worried for them.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go get them." Taren said, hoping to still have time to save them and the princess before the sun is up.

"Alright Stormy, no more free shows for your witchy spies, Magic Winx!" Using her magic to transform and was ready to face her, Shinobi draws his swords for combat to fight alongside her.

"I will blast you, little girl!" Stormy proclaims.

Fearful for her bonded fairy after the last time she fought them, Tune advised her to be careful. "Musa, look out!"

"Don't worry, I have an idea!" Remembering a conversation Musa had with Layla about a rain dance she performed. Getting an idea and started tapping her feet on the ground and began chanting the words Layla taught her.

"Think you can overpower my control of the clouds with a ridiculous rain dance?" Stormy cackles and was ready for a fight. Shoots out a blast of lightning at her, but was unable to reach her target when the sword wielding Titan appeared before her and swung his blades, forcing her to dodge it. Shinobi made his stance to defend Musa while she was performing her ritual and challenging the Trix with his blades in his hands for a battle.

She dodges the sword attacks, dodging the sharpness of the blades until she gained an opening to shock the Titan with her magic by slamming her hand into the waist. This only stunned the Tittan, but caused him to stagger from the sneak attack. "Not so tough."

"Bass Boost!"

Musa threw a sneak attack on Stormy with her back turned and threw her off by the sound vibration, falling to the rooftop she was standing on. It was enough time for Musa's rain dance to be completed, and negating Stormy's storm with her magic.

Stormy grunts and pulls herself up. "Never gonna get to the end of that spell."

Back in the hideout, the dog sniffs about and walks over to Diaspro, making her once more nervous and afraid. "N-Nice doggy, now go away!"

The Patchamen return from their mission and

"What a day. I need a shower!" Junko brushes her gloved hand through her hair.

"Zark. Come here, boy!" Jinpee calls out to the dog by his name, recieving his owner's call and ruffled his fur.

Ben approaches the tied up princess. "Have no fear, justice has vanquished the Evil Prince Sky!"

Uncertain what he was talking, calling the prince evil Diaspro where it was them who kidnapped her in the first place. But if they did something to the royal prince it could be disastrous and she wanted to make certain they would be punished. "Hey, I'm not afraid of your justice. I'm rich! And you're gonna regret angering the Kingdom of Eraklyon if you harmed their prince."

The raven haired leader looked at her in confusion of what she was talking about and turned to his teammates. "She's confusing me…"

"I'll get her to calm down." The youngest child said as the rest made their leave..

"Okay but play nice." Ben told him

Jinpee smirks and laughs, much to the princess' fear of what he was going to do with her.

Musa slammed against the wall by Stormy's attack, she was really struggling to keep up. Shinbo made a high up for a surprise attack. She continued to try to blast it with her lightning, but it was too fast for her. "Stand still!" Stormy finally took a shot at Shinobi and was now ready to finish off Musa. "And now for you."

She turned around, only to find Musa glowing with light pink as she waved her hands, throwing her head back and swayed her hips with the rhythm of the river dance. Finding it amusing she was still going at it and laughed. "That's it, girl. Light up my life, sing it for me. Keep it going maybe you'll manage to lull me to sleep!" As she was ready to blast the music fairy with a lightning attack, she suddenly felt the connection with the storms was weakening, then it came to her that it was Musa's doing. "She used the rain dance to soothe my storm!"

The dark clouds started to shrink, disappearing and revealing a clear starry night and a moon.

"My magic!"

Musa grins with satisfaction that her spell worked and left Stormy now vulnerable. "You're defenseless. Power Chord!" Channeling her magic into her hand to make a powerful attack, hurtling Stormy straight off the roof. The witch screams but gracefully lands on the quad without injuring herself. Seethed with rage of being bested by the Winx fairy again. "How dare you try such a cheap trick, you fool! I'll break your spell once and for all!"

Their battle had eventually awoken the residents and students of the school, lights turning on to discover what was the cause of the noise.

Realizing she was outnumbered and exposed, Stormy had no choice but to make her escape before she was ready for another round with Musa. "Hm. You'll pay for this, Musa!"

With Stormy now making a run for it, Musa was relieved and wasn't sure if she could carry on with her magic drained and sinks onto the floor, finally able to relax.

"Bravo!" Tune congratulated Musa for her efforts. "Musa, I'm very impressed!"

Musa was proud of herself to have developed a new ability thanks to Layla and fought off one of the Trix before she could complete her devious mission.

Hoshinoya's ninja who were on patrol were in disarray and in a state of panic when they were ambushed by the Keybladers, they were not prepared to take them on, nor of their Digimon who grew to large monsters, leaving behind the bruised and injured enforcers in their way.

"Compared to those other ninja forces, these guys never saw it coming!" Taren grins as he rode on Greymon's horned head.

"Don't get distracted, we need to find the others." Ben reminded him while riding Garurumon until he saw four familiar faces ahead. "Over there! Hey!" The royal king calls out to them, drawing their attention to find Ben and Taren.

Sky was glad to see them. "Boy, we're glad to see you. The pixies told us where to find you."

"We were afraid the Patchamen caught you." Brandon said. "Glad we were wrong."

"Yeah, but they'll be sorry for what they did." Taren mutters.

"Taren, no! The Patchamen aren't the bad guys, they may have been tricked by Hoshinoya." Bloom wanted to at least prevent him from doing anything reckless.

"So you figured it out too?" Ben might have known and saved all the trouble. "We had the same conclusion. Obviously part of his plot to keep us from finding the princess."

"Where's Mal?" Flora noticed she was missing as her Digimon, Palmon.

"Went with Zing to find any proof we need to clear this whole mess up." Ben replied.

"Okay, escaping was easy. The hard part will be to rescue Diaspro." Sky knew they didn't have much time and finding her was vital. Turning to Bloom with Lockette who was trying to find her whereabouts using her magic. "Do we even know where she is?"

"I've got her location!" Lockette confirmed.

Bloom could see who it was and by the look of her confirmed to be the princess, tied up and in what appeared to be the Patchamen's hideout. "And it's smack in the middle of Club Patchamen!"

"Yeah, you know, if we only had time to go and get the Demolecularize we could just teleport ourselves and get in unnoticed." Brandon knew it would be hard to find one in time.

However, to their fortunate, Flora actually has something that would do just that. "I've got something even better."

"A flower?" Sky wondered what that could do when it came to Taren who remembered it.

"That flower can move anyway on its own, it was hard to catch it."

Flora nods and places the Aportis Aborral onto the small standing fixture. "Um, actually the spell can't move anybody but it'll make two people switch places."

"What?" Bloom thought if she was certain of it.

"To bring Diaspro here we need someone there?" Sky realized what it meant as someone would be in her place while freeing Diaspro.

"You're kidding!" Bloom couldn't believe it.

Sky didn't want anyone else to take her place as it was his mission and responsible for her safety. "I'll go."

"Wait!" Flora stopped him. "The people being swapped need to be about the same height and weight."

"It's gotta be me." Bloom offers to do it without hesitation.

Hearing this surprised her friends by her answer. "What? Bloom, you can't!" Taren didn't want her to be in danger.

Sky agreed with him to not let her be at risk because of him. "No, we'll find another way!"

"It's super dangerous!" Lockette said.

But Bloom wouldn't back down and was willing to help someone in danger. "There's no time to try anything else."

"But how do we know it would work? What if we took someone by mistake?" Sky brought it up in worry.

Bloom figured he had a point but they had little time, nor had any choice. "That is true but remember what you said in front of your parents about doing the right thing?"

Seeing his girlfriend has made up his mind, Taren and Flora looked at each other knowing she was not going to back down and nodded. "Okay, but any sign of trouble we'll come and get you."

Flora was also concerned for her but showed a lot of courage to do it. It was now to get started with the spell. "Alright. To complete the spell we need some light."

"If only we had Stella with us." Brandon wished his girlfriend was with them.

"Actually, we might have some substitutes for that." Taren smiles and summons his keyblade, tapping it to the ground. "One light magic, coming up."

Back at the Patchamen's lair, Diaspro was curious as to what the youngest member, Jinpee, was working on. "Uhm, you're kinda mean for a hero." The princess pointed out of the way his behaviour was since her capture.

"Yeah, troubled childhood. Been in therapy since I was four." He brings out a high tech helmet and walks towards the nervous teen blonde.

"Ugh, you're not gonna put that gross thing on my head are you?"

The boy laughed maniacally until a light startled him, watching the princess vanish, in her place was Bloom after using the spell to switch places.

"Yes, it worked!" Despite being tied up, Bloom easily broke free of the binds. Grinning at the startled kid. "HAH. You're in trouble!" She was ready to teach the kid a lesson

"I'm surprised you even mentioned the engagement to us, Sky but guess with all that's going on I can imagine it was hard." Ben brought up on the subject of Sky's royal engagement, but noticed he didn't seem all that excited about it.

"To be honest with you guys, I'm not sure if this marriage thing is what I had in mind. I mean it was made between our two families in an attempt to unite our kingdoms together as allies." Sky tells him, catching his friends by surprise at his response. "I thought maybe to talk with her before it's too late and maybe work something out. I mean, Ben you're a king and yet you still choose to be a keyblade wielder, not because you were told to be but earned it."

Ben took a moment of thought of it as it was true he would focus on his royal duties but thought to do some help with threats of the Trix and Kefka on the loose, and also perhaps be strong enough to protect his people to inspire hope to them.

"It made me realize I need to prove myself to be a better king one day when it's my turn to take the throne, make my own choices. So I decided if it doesn't work, I'll call it off, but still seek to build a bond between me and Diaspro to work something out."

"Wow, that's some determination you build up, Sky." Earning Taren's respect for the blonde to make his own choices as it reminded him of making his own path as a keyblade master like his parents, but by his own. His thoughts then "Still think I should have gone with her and given them something to remember." Taren grunts and leans against a tree.

"If you were in her place, you'd not only trash the place, but convince them that we're the bad guys." Sky reminded him, not wanting to think of the damage he would do. Obviously mad of the ones who hurt Bloom and Flora, not that he can blame him.

Brandon could see how that would go down but wondered if the spell worked. "How will we know it's time to step in and help Bloom?"

They suddenly see a large pillar of flames nearby, proving to be where Bloom was. Making her escape after causing havoc in the Patchamen's Lair, causing them to chase after her until she rejoined the others

"Right, nevermind!" Brandon corrected, readying himself alongside his friends with the Patchamen. "So, you sure this plan's gonna work?"

"We just gotta hold them off until Zing and Mal get back!" Sky said, reminding the others not to attack the P-force to reveal the evidence.

Diaspro was safely hidden in a tent with Flora, Chatta and Lockette to keep her out of sight while they wait for the others after they had rescued her from her kidnappers until the crisis was over. The princess did not like the idea of being cramped in the tent but the prince said it was for her protection and to not get captured again after their friend Bloom risked herself to help her. "Well, I suppose I should be grateful for your services as well as your friend for assisting prince Sky, Bloom was it? Although I never expected he would have keybladers with him."

"Yeah, they're heroes and brave! Awesome and cool!" Chatta said.

"And also our friends who are willing to help him even if he doesn't." Flora added. "Although we were surprised he told us he was engaged."

"Well of course, he's the prince of Eraklyon, why wouldn't he and I be engaged to him." Diaspro thought it was simply obvious to them. "It's supposed to be our duty as royalty to serve as future rulers for our kingdoms."

"Maybe it wasn't in his heart to go through with it-"

"Are you insane!" The princess exclaimed. "I've spent my whole life studying posture, etiquette, court protocol, everything! Eraklyon and Isis had been allies for a long time, calling it off would be seen as an insult! Even my subjects aer hoping for this to work to avoid a disaster!"

Flora realized she put a lot of effort to be the suitable wife to Sky as she could, it must have been a lot of pressure to go to such lengths to earn his affections. "We understand."

"And after all that work, I'm supposed to marry a prince. That's the whole point!" Diaspro stated as it was reason, while she was relieved Sky came to her rescue, she does wish to prove herself to him but also fears he would reject her.

"Hey, there are plenty of princes in the Magic Dimension." Chatta thought to cheer her up on it and thought if it didn't work she could marry anyone else. Good thing the prince wasn't already looking for someone else, at least that's all they know.

Mal and Zing successfully snuck into the palace, digging through any of Yoshinoya's documents to prove their claim about the warlord, even having Palmon to help them to make the search faster.

"It's gotta be here somewhere!" Zing searched through them.

"We haven't got time, there's gotta be some." Mal took each one and threw them aside that did not show the seal. "Ugh! Where is it?!"

Palmon searches through them when she spotted something on the top shelf that was unsealed. "Is that it?"

They looked up to where the Digimon was pointing, Zing pulled it out and revealed it to be the document they needed. "Great, now let's get back before it's too late!"

"What now? They've got us cornered!" Brandon knew they had the numbers against them, having their backs against each other and ready to defend themselves if necessary.

"Team, the time has come for us to seal their fate once and for all!" The patchamen's leader proclaimed and was confident to challenge them. "Everyone ready?"

"Not so fast!" Mal and Zing made their return before either side made the first move. Zing was carrying the document they found.

"Zing! Mal!" Bloom was happy to see them.

"Oh, in the nick of time." Brandon thought her timing couldn't be better and with the sealed letter as well.

"We got it! Zing?" Mal said.

"Here!"

Zing tosses the document towards them and Ben snatches it before they could. "What is this? Secrets?" Believing to be another of their plans.

"Go right ahead, Ben. Read it." With enough evidence to prove their claims, Bloom now knows for certain the Patchamen would believe them.

"It's a ransom note. You'll recognize Yoshinoya's seal." Sky tells him."

"You guys are kidnappers!" Bloom accused them, pointing her finger at the leader.

"Yeah, he lied to you about us being the villains." Mal

The Patchamen's leader, Ben reads it and realizes they were telling the truth, infuriated with rage to have been deceived by the Yoshinoya to help him achieve his plans.

Flora noticed Lockette suddenly began to quiver in fear as she felt something bad. "What's wrong Lockette?

"Oh, they're coming! They're right outside!"

"There must be some mistake!" Diapsro assumed they were hidden from anyone.

Flora would agree with her. "That's right, we all know Bloom and Taren wouldn't lose." She knew for certain her bestfriend and boyfriend would never be beaten by them, they also had Mal and Ben with them.

Suddenly the tent was lifted and to their shock and horror, the Patchamen found them.

Flora was alarmed until she felt a hand on her shoulder, realising it belonged to Taren alongside Bloom, Sky, Brandon, Mal and Ben.

"It's okay!" Sky assured them everything was okay now.

"We're all on the same side now!" Bloom told them.

Patchamen Ben then started his dramatic speech. "The side of Justice! Here to save the lovely Princess Diaspro from the claws of... The Evil Lord Yoshinoya!"

Taren rolls his eyes and is unable to be sure how long he can tolerate this. 'Oh brother!'

Everyone else was now relieved that it was now over and can return to Sky's kingdom to give the good news

"What Bloom did was very brave. Worthy of a princess!" King Erandor appreciated the Dominion princess for her help. "And we should also be thankful the keyblade wielders showed support to rescue Princess Diaspro."

Bloom smiled to receive a compliment and bowed her head. " Thank you, sir! Uh, I mean- Your Majesty!" Reminding herself to be formal next time and still getting used to it.

"But these Patchamen are just too dangerous!" The queen still felt uncertain about the Patchamen who were cleared of charges for Yoshinoya's crimes. But had pressing matters to bring up.

The king nodded to agree with her. "Even though they are cleared from any charges, they cannot be allowed to stay on Eraklyon. What if they were tricked by someone else into attacking us once again?" While it may sound harsh, the king brought up a valid point considering the Patchaman were easily tricked by the warlord and almost helped his plan had it not been for the prince and his friends.

Bloom had an idea that might work in their favor. "If I may Your Majesty, I think I know how to get them to leave!"

Outside the palace in the front yard, the Patchamen were told about Yoshinoya's plot to trick them into kidnapping the princess for his plan to take over Eraklyon, they did not take it well to being lied to.

"I am filled with righteous fire over Yoshinoya's trickery!" The Patchamen's leader's gloved fist clenched tight to have been tricked by the warlord.

"It's unforgivable!" Junko agreed with him.

"So Sky wasn't the bad guy!" Jinpee stroked his chin to process the fact.

The robot appeared confused. "I don't get it. Who's evil now?"

"At least we know for sure the king's evil! Wait a minute, no he's not!" Bo started getting mixed ideas, juggling the truth and lies together.

"Maybe Yoshinoya and the King were working together!" Their leader proclaimed, much to the utter bafflement of

Taren, Ben, Mal Flora, Brandon, Chatta, Lockette and Zing were looking at the Patchamen in utter disbelief that they were easily confusing themselves of who was evil and not.

"That means Diaspro and the Queen are the real villains!" Junko stated.

"You think they'll force Yoshinoya to marry Diaspro?" Jinbee asked them.

"Okay, it's official, these guys are completely out of their minds!" Mal whispered to her friends, earning a few nods. Starting to wonder if they were really heroes or just completely naive

This was starting to frustrate their leader who was starting to get a migraine. "I'm getting confused again…"

"So Sky, have you heard about the troubles?" They turned to see Bloom walking beside Sky after their meeting with his parents.

"Oh yes, the terrible troubles!"

"Uh, what trouble?" Taren had no idea what they were talking about.

"Planet Earth has been invaded by really bad guys!" Bloom said, throwing a dramatic tone in her voice.

Flora blinked her eyes. "Huh?"

The Auradon king was also confused. "Earth? But that world's-" He was cut off by Mal clamping his mouth shut by her hand and bringing her other hand to her head, dramatically. Easily catching on to what Bloom was up to.

"Oh, those poor people! Who will save them?"

To their surprise, the raven haired leader immediately sprinted into action. "People of Earth are in danger! Let's go Patchamen!" They immediately sprung into action, running out of the front yard to begin their journey.

"See? Piece of cake." Bloom grinned as they were finally gone and dropped the charades.

"What just happened?" Ben asked to find out what that was all about.

"I thought to make up a little story about Earth being in danger, that way they won't get tricked while on Eraklyon." She explained to them her plan, truthfully she didn't think it would work so easily.

While Sky appreciated her help, he had one thing that was on his mind that worried him. "But Bloom, Earth is your planet. Aren't you worried about sending them there?

"That is if they know where the planet is considering that it's not in the Magic Dimension." Mal pointed out the obvious fact.

"Oh! Well, I didn't think about that. Anyway, they are heroes right? I just hope they don't get too carried away!" While Bloom felt a little bad for lying a little, least they won't do any more trouble and hopefully not get

"So, Sky. How did things go with your father?"

"Let's just say I've managed to convince them to hold off the engagement until I can get Diaspro to find an alternative solution for our people to work together." Sky was at least fortunate the princess didn't take it personally knowing she was doing it for her kingdom and did want to show how much he cared for her. "And I think Bloom is turning out to be quite the princess!" Patting the redhead on the shoulder for her help, giving her a warm smile, as she returned the gesture.

Now the crisis was over, they can enjoy the time of peace while it lasts.

"Yoshinoya should have known this would not go in his favor, nor should he have hired those so-called heroes to do his dirty work."

The Techno NInja were forced to abandon the palace after it was raided, unable to risk being captured or defeated by the prince and his keyblade allies, kneeling around the hooded individual who spoke with their former warlord.

"He brought dishonor to his clan and to his own subordinates, they would surely know of his associations with your group." One of the ninja spoke. "He should have his life to regain some honor for his disgrace."

"That will not be necessary, as much as it would be easier to have him killed, it would leave more questions. So we had to… erase the memories he has of our involvement." Reached out in his hand was a Cyber Virus that escaped the keybladers' awareness after they found the seal of his crimes. "For your effort on a job well done, my associates would be quite interested to hire you for your service.

"Indeed, no longer shall we serve the former Yoshinoya and offer our allegiance to your cause." The Techno Ninja then bowed to the hooded figure.

"Excellent, for we may have certain assignments for you." Discarding the robes and revealed to be none other than Aqua Seneschal after avoiding capture like the others and escaped during the battle.

"As do I." A holographic projection of a figure, its appearance nor face could be seen as it was a blur. "It would appear your observation is correct, these young ones are more cunning than I assumed."

"The next phase is almost complete, my lord. It is unfortunate we did not succeed in causing a conflict on Eraklyon as promised." The Cyber Lord reported.

"It matters not, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. As for the Trix, leave them be and also the Dark Phoenix, once everything is in place, it will be time to strike. Return to the Water Civilization until further instructions, for now we wait in the shadows."

"As you command, my lord."

So had a slight fix up since I was a litlte rushed to get it out of the way, anyway any that noticed the differences of Diaspro since bloom is with someone else, they wouldn't have the toxic relationship between them, so she be more towards the comic version I found that would give some development for her character which feels they wasted a potential of it.
