The group had soon reached the next area where the Access Ark's third leg was and found it was an ocean taken over by a marine port built by the Haltmann Works Company. Shipping containers, submarines, cranes, and other apparatus were seen as well, along with a building made of frozen treats and cities underwater.
"Wow, you see that building over there? Imagine the brain freeze you'd get from eating that!" Eddy exclaimed.
"Yeah, but we're not here to eat ice cream, Eddy. Even if that sounds really good right about now." Frosta said.
"Yeah. We still need to disable the leg and help the robot Yo-kai that are trapped here." Jexi said.
The group then made their way across the marine port before reaching where the leg was as they went inside and saw someone ahead.
"Heehee…" the figure laughed before turning to the group, revealed to be a female humanoid. She has a white face with big blue eyes, eyelashes, pink blush, and no mouth or nose. She has straight magenta hair that falls on her back, as well as long bangs, one held back by a golden hair clip, a light gray business suit made of metal that wraps around her head almost like a hood, and two blade-like objects with red tips and orange screws connect to the side of the hood. "I didn't expect to see a native inhabitant and other otherworldly visitors all the way out here…"
"Susie?" Mark asked.
"Susie." some of the group said.
"That is correct. I am Susie, executive assistant of the Haltmann Works Company. Pleased to make your acquaintances." Susie said as she bowed her head.
"Why are you here on Popstar?" Rebecca asked.
"Just look at this planet. Clean air, fresh water… There is a wealth of natural resources to be found here. But all of you who live in this world take that wealth for granted. Regrettable, but at any rate… Our Mechanizing Occupation Project is now under way…and your people have unfortunately been identified as…obstacles." Susie said, as Kirby glared at that statement. "Our most sincere condolences, and I'm sorry you all had to come all this way…but I'm afraid…YOU ALL MUST BE DESTROYED!" she yelled at the end before pulling out a remote and pressing a button on it as a cylindrical mech dropped down as she hopped into it, the blade-like objects lowering to her cheeks as a visor went over her face.
Executive Assistant of the Haltmann Works Company - Susie
"You hate to fight a Star Ally…but it's gotta be done!" Scarlet stated as the group went into battle.
"Oh right…almost forgot…sending in our fighting units!" Susie said as three robots emerged. One was a small red dragon, the other was a small orange snake, and the last was a small green humanoid robot.
Robodraggie
Slippery Tribe
Robonoko
Slippery Tribe
Sighborg Y
Wandroid Tribe
"Robot versions of Draggie and Noko, huh?" Zephyr said before seeing the third robot. "Wait a second…
"Hey, ain't that the weird-lookin' robot we ran into in the Real World durin' the whole Whaleman thing, Sunset?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah…Sighborg Y…the only Yo-kai part of its own tribe, the Wandroid Tribe." Sunset said.
"Is it dangerous?" Bardock asked.
"It fires a laser beam which turns you into a copy of it." Sunset said. "So yeah…it's kind of dangerous."
"But the beam itself moves at a snail's pace, so you don't have to worry about it unless it's really close." Starlight said.
"Attack!" Susie ordered to the three robots as she engaged herself in her Business Suit.
"Well….guess this is easy." Ash K said as Pikachu jumped off and zapped the three robots before they quickly shut down.
"What? How?!" Susie said in surprise.
"Gotcha!" 9S said as he hacked Susie's Business Suit, dealing damage once the Hack was complete.
"Hey! No hacking allowed!" Susie said as she started retaliating by firing homing projectiles.
"Uh, hacking absolutely allowed!" Amethyst retorted as she used her flail to destroy the projectiles. "You don't make the rules here!"
"I'm an executive assistant! I kinda do make some of the rules here!" Susie argued back.
"Not on our watch you don't!" Krillin said as he charged up and threw a Destructo Disc, severing one of the Business Suit's arms.
"Ugh…seriously?" Susie groaned. "Okay…that does it." she said as her suit started spinning and gathering electricity. "Prepare to be…terminated!" she said, taking the shot right at them.
"Shocking Spin Cycle in coming!" Akane said.
"I got it!" Luffy said as he went ahead and grabbed the spinning exec.
"What?!" Susie said.
"We don't need it…so you can take it with you!" Luffy said as he went and sent her flying right out of the building.
"Nice one, Luffy! One executive assistant dealt with, three more medals to the ol' Medallium, and we've technically completed a tribe! We are on fire today!" Carmine said.
"That's impressive, considering we're at the ocean." Sans stated with a grin as the rest of the group groaned.
"So we only have two more legs of the access ark to dismantle until we face Haltmann himself." Adora said.
"That is correct. But be wary." Robonyan said. "The Haltmann corporation will utilize various means of their technology to create new enemies to surprise you from this point onward."
"Nothing we haven't seen before." Garnet said.
"Plus, two of the strongest robot Yo-kai are among their ranks, modeled after two very powerful Yo-kai of the present." Robonyan said. "Venoctobot and Kyubot."
"Robot versions of Venoct and Kyubi. That could be troublesome." Sunset said.
"And from what we heard, they are quite strong too." Takeshi said.
"Oh, for sure. I worked with them a bit during my stint in the now-defunct Heroes Coalition, and they really are as strong as they claim." Jesse said.
"It's strange we haven't run into the real versions of them yet, especially since Venoct is pretty tight with us." Rainbow said.
Sunset didn't say anything because she was aware of the possibility that both Yo-kai were likely already captured by Kelly.
"(Venoct…Kyubi… if the Yo-kai Alliance really did get to you first, I swear I'll find some way to save you both.)" Sunset thought. Venoct was an important figure to Hero Alliance Alumni Squigly, being the one who helped her. And even though it was a rough start, Kyubi was part of the original Night Parade. "(I hope I'm wrong, and you two are still fighting against the Yo-Kai Alliance. We'll find you no matter what. You two are my friends too.)"
