Over at Traverse, things have been settling down once more, in preparation for a milestone celebration. The strange peach was distracted from perilous news and it was agreed that the town is kept on an open watch. Ogerpon, Quill and Sora looked at Denryk, who was meditating with Mimer and Waltza. The Scraggy watched his partner at a calm and shrugged. (Eh, I don't get it either. But bugging the boss isn't-) Denryk smiled and had a laugh before standing up. Flying above to have a view of the Ranch is a Togekiss that Flygon, Pidgeot and Azu recognized. The Nimbus fliers ascended to tackle their life long companion.

Kairi and Azu perked and noticed a duo of Wayfinders and a particular stranger arriving shortly. Much to Poppy and Leon's excitement. The Princess hurried to welcome the arrivals. "Master Aqua, Ven, you're back!"

Aqua was seeing the festivities and waved in apology. "Sorry that we came unannounced, we were wrapped up in some valuable leads and had one more surprise from that Labyrinth." Ven hurried to let out his team of misfits and the Brute Bonnet first as Aqua let out her merry band, including Regidrago and the Iron Jugulis. Biven, Iceberg and Penumbra, who were setting up stands, heard the squeaks and beeps. They stopped what they were doing and hurried to meet their fellows, the Iron Jugulis laughed fiercely. (It appears we weren't the only ones from that cavern!)

The Brute Bonnet nodded and caught the scent of oil, Biven hopped over to ask. (Did you two have an adventure out there?) The Brute grunted as Terra and his band checked out the menagerie. He noticed the strange colored Typhlosion that was perking to the raised spirits. "You guys were busy today. Is this Typhlosion suppose to look like that?"

Cyndi laughed as Aqua shook her head and pointed to the orange and red Decidueye. "A Hisuian evolution, much like that Decidueye over there." Quill hooted an went to join Pueo in testing out a shooting gallery. Regidrago saw his brothers helping with setting up stands and floated to them in laughter. He turned into his skull form and nuzzled with them. Ven was warmed and asked the locals. "Looks like you're getting ready to celebrate? What's the occasion?"

"It's about them and about a friend we made."

Roxas, Namine and Dupmic approached, with Denryk and Ogerpon following. Aqua didn't recognized the masked boy as Ven whistled. "Nice get up."

Denryk was charmed. "Thank you. You'll know the details in the reports." The "Loyal" Three signaled someone get to hiding and approached to find that Aqua is quite the gem. Munkidori in particular is astonished by the latent power and is oddly humble. Aqua recalled a particular detail. "Any word from Ken, because if Drago was freed, then Eleki must be as well?" No one was particularly worried and Kairi answered. "Not yet." Blip!

There was a message from the Bryn Base.

More of a photo. The squad as a whole with ever evolving pokemon, the whole band of strange pokemon from the Labyrinth and Regieleki. There was a message from Xion. "Sorry we couldn't respond, we had a ton of stuff to do. We'll bring Eleki over tonight."

Those who've been to Sansfransokyo were imagining why as Terra asked bluntly. "Why so late? We got a surprise party and they're going to miss out." Kairi went to sending a message and got defensive. "Because there's a real chance that Eleki would miss out on this." She showed Terra a photo of the neon lit city under the cover of night. Terra kept quiet and shrugged in defeat. He noticed a shine in the sky, one looking like a funnel that spat out a shooting star. More a white lion with a familiar girl on his back.

It is Solgaleo, flying to the ranch and gently landing. The girl jumped off and took off her helmet, it was Daphne. "Alola everyone!" She saw the ranch ever more complete, the larger band and gasped at Ogerpon and the "Loyal" Three. "Oh my, I heard of these guys!" She nearly jumped to them. "How did they get here?" "Who's caught them?" "What did I miss?"

Namine had to pull Daphne away as Wanda and Stalwing arrived. "Looks like our travelers have returned soundly." She announced proudly. "We've reached far in our quest and by suggestion of our special forces." She looked to Roxas and his squad. "We're going to hold a festival that will go on until late at night. His Highness and that Rich Duck have brought about some suggestions that Poppy was more than happy to accommodate with."

Poppy and Moa approached the cousin, giving a group hug while the girl in glasses reported. "Over where the legend of the Masks were discovered, they hold festivals in tradition. At least until the truth about it came out." She whispered to the humans. "The locals had the story mixed around about who was the bad guy and who was defending what."

Ogerpon wondered how that happened as Daphne noticed Terra with quite the big bear. The Champion gave Ursaluna a hug and nuzzled against her. "Big, fluffy and dirty, you a big bear now, yes you are!" Ursaluna blushed and gave a hearty growl as she nuzzled back. Aqua sighed at a lot of boring details. "We'll share along our notes and get each other caught up. Ven and I are guilty of leaving some pokemon behind, the ones we're letting the Pine Twins keep."

Daphne didn't see anything wrong with that and looked at them with the bear. "They've earned the right, didn't they?" Kit recalled. "A Trevenant, Bronzong, Slurpuff and a Bewear."

The trainers gasped. "A Bewear?!" The Champion calmed down. "They got a good Judgment to leave that one." Denryk nodded, having a vivid memory of a girls chaos. "As long as Mabel knows the deal, learning could be good for her."

Dupmic and Namine froze as Wanda gasped in confusion. "Lad, how would you know about that? You came from over there?"

Denryk realized what he said. "Ooooohps." and looked over to an alley way that is doubling as a storage pile. He headed over and signaled that Wanda and her companion follow. Just so he can be out of sight. At a corner where no one else would see. Denryk undid his hoodie and took off his mask. Wanda and Stalwing recognized most of the face and hair of Ken. Save for the gray eyes and an expression that is in a zen. Wanda realized what she is looking at and Denryk put the mask back on. "It's why I'm keeping this on. Although I should show this to those who can keep this secret to a select few. You think Resira would be fine with this?"

The Mayor, who's faced a common enemy with the police officer, ordered the boy. "Report this to her immediately, some of her theories are now making sense. You proved to be a bigger grown up than how the both of us would have acted if we had that villain at the tip of a pistol." She sighed. "It isn't wrong to protect these places and the people who live in them. Is that truly what you wish for yourself?"

Denryk was ready to head off. "It's my job, Ken took me in regardless of what I am... so I owe him. I also like it when everyone in these places are together celebrating in harmony. Is that more than enough?" Wanda wasn't going to argue. "It's as true of love as I've seen."

They headed back out, with the mayor looking to the Secret Squad and signing somberly. It didn't take long for Denryk to find Resira, who was chatting with the local gang. "Well balancing enjoyments with duty isn't a sin, so long as you're prepared to take into action when-"

Lea saw the masked boy approach, with Ogerpon and Scraggy following. Denryk asked in prediction. "someone tries to ruin it?" Resira blushed and turned swiftly. "If you take the term as lightly, yes. I've been meaning to ask, my cohorts have reported your attitude over at Twilight Town to be a stark contrast to how it is when you've connected with more kin. Is there a meaning behind it?"

Denryk groaned. "Yes and I think you can see enough if I-" He took off his mask and adjusted his hood to where more of his hair is seen. Elrena blinked and gasped. "What happened?!" Dorlu laughed and took out a bag. "It was obvious that even Kendry and his heart weren't going to come out of that war unscathed. Xehanort would not have allowed him to return to his friends so easily." Elrena, Medy and Isa paid some munny they owed in a bet. Not that Denryk was amused. "Figured some of you would have put that together. Wanda knows too."

Resira breathed out. "The connections between you and the Force is its own mystery. But, Roxas and Miss Namine gave specific attention to you for a reason. Your tone sounded familiar and for your ilk, it's common that your name is identical to your other in terms of letters. As soon as I saw that devotion you have towards protecting these worlds and the anger you had to that heretic in particular, I've figure out the rest." She looked quite impressed. "How you held the iron will, to force away that anger in that moment, is another puzzle that I wish to solve."

Denryk laughed crudely. "It's not that complicated!" He put his fist towards his chest. "I love these worlds and the people who live in them, much more than I can hate one guy and everything he stands for. The last thing these places need, is to have another monster to worry about." Lea huhed and crossed his arms. "So you decided to not be one and keep the higher ground?"

Resira groaned at her subordinate. "It paid off this time, but treason of that scope to both kin and world is a capital crime that should be punishable by death." Denryk shook his head at the police officer. "It really should, just know why those people need to be put into the ground before you let that fear and hatred get the best of you."

Ogerpon and Scraggy worried as Resira wished loudly. "If I can even tell the difference between vengeance and true justice anymore. The woes that the forces of Chaos has instilled upon the worlds always come back to ensure death and worse to the lot of us."

Elrena and Medy nudged to their superior. "All the reason to stop them if they show up again." "We still got each other to play this tune." Resira blushed to her subordinates as Elrena gave her a light hug. "We're like a big family that never really like each other. But there's always someone that's worth putting it up for."

Denryk put his mask back on. "There's always a place to start, that kindness can grow into a forest that end up making a good home for anyone who is beaten up and have nowhere else to go. Just... don't tell anyone else about what I am. There's always going to be that one jerk who would want a chop at me."

The gang promised, with Lea zipping his lips. "Does that still matter now?" Denryk turned to pet his companions and head back to the activities. "Only the fact that I owe Ken and I don't want his folks to get hurt because of me. Hope you all have fun soon." He and his companions returned to see Cadet and Ceruledge having a light sparing dance, a contest of some sort.

At Sanfransokyo.

It was the afternoon at SFIT, the City squad were subjected to a scheme of complete insanity from Hiro. Who was in uniform, trying to make the impression of someone else. "I appreciate your efforts in telling our story, but it would be for the good of all if you cease misinforming the masses. It could give them the wrong ideas."

Ken, who was meant to represent Karmi, went as far as to impersonate her attitude. "Why? Everyone knows it's fanfiction." The squad were in defense and Hayner called Hiro out on his nonsense. "They'll figure out that there are thing's she's making up."

Ken laughed, much to Hiro's disappointment, the one armed boy sighed and thought of something else. "I don't get why she's only ever mean to you, but she and Tatsugiri have been nothing but a huge help to us. Even if we are having some serious disagreements that she'll hear us out on when we can back it up."

Olette remembered Kartana needing a moment to sit in a corner and work out a panic attack. "Maybe if you talk to her, while in uniform, you can work out some middle ground? It's not everyday that a local shows appreciation like this." Hiro blushed, stuttered and sat on a chair, with Baymax hugging and patting him. "There, there."

At the evening.

At bio lab, with posters of various animals and a rough sketch of Kartana, Karmi and Tatsugiri set up a telescope, right as the city's lights begun to shine. She had the scope focused on various high points and found a spark of lightning jumping across building to building. On a closer look, she and Tatsugiri caught sight of Regieleki, flying beside him was Ken, who was riding a Golbat, and Xion who was on the back of a Skarmory. "Those guys were serious about showing him the night."

Tatsugiri took her eye out of the scope and crawled into a pouch. "Pretty... city." Karmi scratched the fish on the head. "Especially for tourists." She remembered from news reports. "Feels like I've seen them before too." Tatsugiri asked. "They're... not from 'ere?" It was pretty obvious. "Definitely not. They know a lot more than they're letting on, but they feel like good people."

The fish agreed as Karmi looked to the drawing of Kartana. "Enough that they're worried about this guy. You don't think this Kartana got out of that facility and is running away from them? Do you?"

Tatsugiri sighed from past experience. "In danger... u run and hide from bad." The girl felt a chill. "I can't believe that Sycroax would try something like that. But... Kartana's pretty scared about going back there. What do you think he was saying? Feels like those guys got an idea."

Tatsugiri laughed. "Say it... backwards." The girl realized from the odd speech. "He can speak backwards?" She started squeeing. Unaware of a growing shadow. "So smart!"

Suddenly, a dark blue arm grappled her from her chair and yanked her into the darkness. Tatsugiri hurried into the pouch and zipped herself in as Karmi found herself in a cold, metal hideout. Where a ninja lady in blue was readying bondage, pleased by something she's experimented with. "That was easy."

Elsewhere.

It was night over at SFIT's gate, Hiro and Baymax were in uniform. The boy paced around as the Twilight Squad were waiting. "Karmi gets out of the Bio-lab at seven, every night. So where is she?"

Fred asked in the com. "How would you know that?" Hiro got defensive. "Not the point. She's probably writing Chapter 4."

Ken asked over the com as a electric star shined on the highest building. "Well when we've talked with her, she was pretty interested in wanting to know about Ultra Beast anatomy. Might have gave her another hobby."

Suddenly, Honey Lemon found something. "Guys... you're going to want to see this."

The band headed over to Fred's manor, where they could see a video in private. It was from Momokase, who had a message for the boy genius. "Captain Cutie, meet me at Akuma island by 9 o'clock. Or you will never see-" She showed a Karmi that was tied in rope. "your beautiful girlfriend again." Karmi struggled and barked. "Hey, let me go!" Blip!

Hiro recalled. "Akuma Island?! That's Cray's old lab." Pence guessed. "Bad guy you've fought?" Hiro was ready to take off. "It's set to be demolished tonight, Karmi needs us." He stopped. "And she's not my girlfriend!"

Woosh!

Baymax, Night Count, Skarmory and Vikavolt came flying to an abandoned lab in an island far off shore. Wasabi knows why this frontal approach is not preferred. "Momokase knows we're coming."

Hayner agreed. "Yeah, but she's not going to know what we're going to pull." Gogo advised. "She won't be able to catch all of us if we split up."

Hiro and Ken marched forward, with the boy genius ordering. "Who ever gets to Karmi first, signal the others." Ken raised a hand in command. "Get your partners out, that ninja asked for a raid and she is getting one!"

In the lab.

Momokase watched the band send out more partners and split off. Fred, Wasabi and a Pawniard lead down a hall for the boys, a Scream Tail and a trio of canines. The ladies, their companions and a Tinkatuff searched the hill with Vikavolt, while Hiro, Baymax, Golett Ken and Sharp Shell patrolled to a computer room. The one armed boy had Nightsky aimed like one a rifle and charmed the ninja. "What a determined soldier." She headed off as Karmi left was bound and gagged.

Zip!

Out of the pouch came the Tatsugiri, who was relieved that she wasn't found. Karmi muffled. "MMM!" The fish leaped to the girls back and pulled off the purple cloth before going for the rope knot and rapid spinning to break it away. Karmi stood up freed and checked the screens. "This is bad, they're all heading towards a trap." She checked on the band with two robots and knew where they were heading. "Maybe we can still stop this." She held Tatsugiri in her arms and sneaked into a hall.

At a metal corridor.

Wasabi, Pence and Hayner attempt to ignore Fred's growing excitement over a place he's been in as they gone deeper and deeper. Riolu, Lick and Scream Tail were picking up something in their senses as the grown up with the plasma blades recognized the structure. "Just a little further and we should be able to cut our way inside." The meek Pawniard hurried ahead with Fred as the band got far in, Wasabi got to work in cutting through a wall, Riolu and the sense pickers looked to the other as Fred was getting impatient. "Can we do this faster? Look it doesn't have to be a perfect circle."

Scream Tail turned to Fred and snickered. (Not like any of us can smash our way through.) Riolu shifted his eyes to the prehistoric Jigglypuff. (We might have a few who can.)

The Scream Tail was quickly quieting herself as other wall formed from a slice, dropping down to unleash a small pack of Cross Roaders. Hayner flinched and tossed out a net ball. "Get 'em Slither Wing!" Pop! Out came the prehistoric Volcarona that made quite the first impression and stood up for a pounce.

Up on a hill.

The ladies found a ceiling window they could use to descend down. Honey Lemon readied adhesives as the Alolan Grimer spat a spray of acid to melt down the window. With enough adhesives, there was enough for a make shift elevator. Vikavolt squeezed his way in as the ladies descended and noticed an odd color in the shadows, followed by a flash of light. Slash! The elevator was cut and the band were sent screaming in a drop. Vikavolt swooped down as Honey Lemon tossed down a chemball that burst into a lime green cat bubble to use as a bounce. As the ladies were recovering, Vikavolt intercepted a swinging kick. Flying off with Momokase and trying to turn in a crackle of electricity.

The ninja wasn't too amused. "Clever." She drew out her small knives and side stepped from a Grafaiai that had a swift poison jab finger. Following was a dual smash from Tinkatuff and Xion. The ninja back cartwheeled and had a strange blood lust as Xion and Olette unleashed the strange machines. "Moth!" "Thorns!"

Pop!

Out came the otherworldly machines of Iron, the Moth heated himself up as Thorns locked on his target and gave a swift dance before rapid firing a rock blast barrage. Momokase sliced through one and realized she had to run, only for the Iron Moth to intercept her and unleash a fire spin. Xion bull rushed and clashed blades as Tinker leaped for rough play. The Ninja rolled through the flames to take the scorch and found herself slipping on ice that formed from a chemball. Gogo and Varoom rushed as the ninja got up, shoving her into a Grimer that stretched his limb and knocked off a knife. Momokase switched to a laser katana and was ready to cut into the sludge as found herself using a useless stick.

A switcheroo caused by a Grafaiai that was snickering with a mischievous smiling Olette. "Now chomp her with electric fangs!"

The Iron Thorns sprinted for a mighty bite and Momokase back flipped a jump. Right into an ice puddle.

Slip!

The band surrounded her and Xion aimed her blade. "No where left to run!" Momokase smirked. "That's what I'm going to say" She tossed laser knives up above. "to you!" The seams above were cut through and began to fall. Right as Vikavolt noticed and blasted them away with a mighty bug buzz. Grimer had a chance to notice the ninja disappearing into a shadow amidst the chaos.

At a surveillance room.

Ken and Sharp Shell were keeping guard as Hiro, Baymax and Golett were messing around with old mechanisms. Hiro rearranged wires and had the magnetism of his gloves adjust a battery. "Maybe we can use the old security system to find Karmi."

Golett could tell. (It looks like it can still work.) Pop!

Out from Ken's ball came the Sandy Shocks that had a look at the device and helped with her own magnetism. Blip! Blip! Blip! The screens turned on, showing most of the facility. Showing the boys were having a brawl against a pack of heartless that weren't able to hold their own against the fighting types, Greavard phantom movement or the dazzling power of the Scream Tail. Another was the ladies and their companions avoiding getting crushed as Vikavolt was looking around for the perpetrator. Oddly there's a room with an empty seat and rope that was undone. No sign of Karmi though. Ken squinted his eyes. "Now that's weird... unless-" Sharp Shell saw a shine in the shadows, drew his shells and intercepted a slice. (Look out!)

Slash!

He clashed with a Cross Roader, more encroached as Ken felt his heart racing and caused Night Sky to radiate into a steady beam. Sandy Shocks jumped and bombarded another with a tri attack as Hiro realize this is an ambush.

A Cross Roader tossed a knife at the boy genius that had the projectile fly side ways, giving Baymax the opening to charge a punch and deliver a round house kick. Golett disappeared in the shadows and fell on the head of another. The Dewott back flipped from a slash and gave an air slash back as Ken finished shooting one heartless down and disappeared into a flame. In a shine, he slashed through the one that tried to attack his starter and tossed a fire ball at another. Sandy Shocks followed with a sync thunder bolt and crawled back to unleash a blast of earth power as Golett stomped in a tantrum and gave Baymax the opening for fast, precise punches. As the dark horde was lessening, Ken and Hiro heard foot steps coming to them. The one armed boy side turned and prepared his blade as Hiro watched a blast of energy shoot a Cross Roader down. The source was a Tatsugiri keeping to the shoulder of a frantic Karmi. The girl was fast to get to Baymax for safety and recognize the one armed boy who was in a battle haze. "What are you guys doing here?! This whole place is a-"

"Trap!"

A set of dark purple bars clamped down like a set of teeth. Trapping the band with in. The groups were caught in similar bindings and the boy duo followed the voice to find Momokase with a device she used. She relaxed and set her sights on Hiro. "Hello there, Captain Cutie, what a good boyfriend you are." The boy genius stuttered. "I'm not-" He coughed to hide his voice. "You're not getting away with this." The ninja put a thumb to her device. "I say I already have."

The bars glowed lines as Ken and Xion readied their blades on the first instinct. The boy had a blast of fire that was countered by an electrical shock, causing a yelp as Xion was shocked silly before she could smash through. Momokase approached the screen. "Not bad, with all you I had to break more of a sweat."

Gogo heard the voice over a surround sound and readied her disks. "That's not all you're going to break." Wasabi thought of an idea and used his plasma cutters to give a slice, only to meet the same results the Keybearers have. Gogo and Honey Lemon tossed their projectiles and had them shot right back. Momokase was more amused. "Those cells were made specifically for you, I thought of everything."

Hiro knew that was stretched. "You mean Obake thought of everything." The ninja corrected him. "His intel, the ideas are all me?" Fred asked wildly. "What exactly do you call yourselves? Is it Obokase? My money's on-" Scream Tail used her hair to wrap around Fred's leg and tugged him. (Not now!) Momokase shook her head at Fred. "Stupid last words. A disintergration device" snap! "is about to wipe out everything on this island. Was it worth it to reunite with this girl?"

Karmi flinched to something in her brain right as an alarm blared. "Prepare for disintergration." The ninja wasn't wanting to stick around. "That's my que."

She tossed a dagger to a lock mechanism, caused the door to open and made her getaway.

Hayner cringed at the alarm. "Not good, not good, not good!" Olette agreed to that. "We'll be finished if we don't think of something quick." Karmi spoke out fast. "Wait, we still got a way out. What kind of pokemon do you have with you?" Ken snapped his fingers and let out his Kartana, the Ultra Beast was hearing noise as the one armed boy and Dewott aimed their blades at the bars. "Kartana, can you cut these?"

Kartana pressed his limbs together to make them resemble a samurai blade. "!stcejbo sselhtrow eseth tuc I." Slash! Crackle!

With one blow, the Kartana slashed through the upper portion of the bars, detected a shock and flew through the lower side, cutting open a way out. Hiro focused on his intercom. "Our friends got a way to get us out! Meet us at the entrance, asap!" He readied a chip for Baymax. "Red Panda, it's time to engage in Golurk mode!"

The chip was dark green with yellow lines. Upon inserting, Baymax felt strange and waddled. "My body is changing." His suit begun to change, grow taller and his limbs shifted like they were swelling. His helmet covered his whole face as he readied a mighty kick. "Golurk mode, activated! Prepare to overdrive."

He smashed through the bars with a high horse power kick and over did it to where he smashed through a wall. Ken followed on the idea and used the communications to order. "What ever you got that can blast through, do it now!"

Pence and Hayner hurried to set up electrical bombs. "Coming right up." The alchemist stepped back and sent out Heater as Hayner sent out Pawmot and the Iron Hands. The mechanical sumo wrestler was off guard by the alarm as Hayner ordered. "We got some explosives that can sent a shock, but we need to over heat and over charge them! Can you guys do it?"

Pawmot rubbed his paws as the Magby heat up, through an electrical tap and a fiery fist, the first bomb begun to glow bright. They ran into the cage and the explosive set off, causing the others to burst and blast through the cage. The Iron Hands pushed her way through the remains as Scream Tail glowed and gave a strange dance, leading the way.

Honey Lemon, Gogo and Xion pointed to their trusty poison types and had them fire a wide spray of acid and corrosive gas at the bar, melting them to near useless as Vikavolt's bug buzz scattered them. Riolu and Scream Tail used their senses and sprinted from the boys, making for the exit. The bug type flew ahead and turned in guard of the ladies. (Come on, there's a way out of here!) He felt a psychic urge and a song. (Follow the guide of the stars, or you will stay for your doom.) He followed that sensation and lead onward.

With the group escaping, Ken and Hiro led Karmi and their pokemon. Only to find Cross Roaders and Yangagiba blocking the way. Ken stared stoically and his hand glowed in fire, with an aim, he unleashed a fire ball that burst into many, giving Dewott the chance to jet and slice as the Tatsugiri fired wide in hydro pumps. The Scream Tail was ambushed by a pack and stepped back, Hayner rushed for a precise kick at a Cross Roader as Heater used mach punch to close the distance, with Grevard using phantom force to pounce. A second Crossroader made a dash at Hayner with a slice in mind as a ball popped to let out a leaping Maschiff that bit into it's shoulder. Wasabi and his Pawniard dealt the finishing stab as Fred waddled ahead to find crawling Yangagiba. His costumes mouth frosted and he tossed. "Let's get him good Finizen!"

Toss!

Out came the Dolphin that was given an icy blast, to use as a ramming jet. Pawmot went after the Cross Roader Hayner was occupied with and delivered an arm thrust as his partner and Riolu delivered swift jabs and kicked it aside. The boys hurried ahead as the Magby and Maschiff gave a glow and grew. The live coal had quite the growth spurt, into a shape akin to a Magmar. Maschiff grew into a larger mastiff with a smoother mane.

PEW!

Only the Iron Hands, who was floating, had a good view of a brown, shaggy dog. At the end of the hall way is round armored shogun who is there just to keep the heroes from escaping. Heater and Riolu dashed with a mach punch and bullet punch. The Shogun rolled back, drew out a giant katana and slashed the two away, only to be pounced by mighty set of jaws that have glowing orange eyes and a great Slither Wing. A Grevard's shadow slashed into it's head as the Scream Tail twirled a great blast. The Shogun punched the surroundings and caused debris to cave in, Wasabi slashed above as the Pawniard honed her claws. The Shogun readied a leap and the sharp blade leaped to his personal to deliver a sucker punch, followed by a flying electrical palm that caused it to break apart.

Greavard woofed and turned in a little dance, glowing and growing to a size that is massive compared to the other dog. Becoming a skeletal dog with a long white, ghostly mane and a tombstone on his head. Pence woahed. "Sheesh you all got big!" The Houndstone grunted, disappeared into shadows and warped ahead to make way.

The ladies in comparison, slashed and blasted through in fast speeds. Tinker and Olette drew their weapons for great slashes and gave Xion her opening to warp to each bladed foe and smash them across. Honey Lemon picked up her trusty Grimer and had him punch what ever her can as Gogo and Varoom raced down the hallway with Vikavolt. Iron Moth flew ahead as a twister of fire and life. Grafaiai settled for finishing blows on what ever was able to wit stand the constant onslaught.

The paths converged into a central lobby that was smashed wide open by Baymax's force, Sandy Shocks earth powered blast and the precise slashes of Ken and his cutters. Only for a trio of Shogun's to appear and get in the way. Hayner groaned. "Oh come on!"

Tatsugiri hmmed and whispered to the Kartana that had a great aura. (Think you can handle this?) The Kartana readied and disappeared as Ken and Sharp Shell glided, the three slashed through the Shogun's with little effort, especially from the Kartana blade. Ken followed with a cloak of fire and smashed through the door to make it wider. Sharp Shell rolled behind and was jumping in concern. (Hey, hey! We're out, you can stop!) Ken wasn't listening and was about to cause more havoc to get through. Sharp Shell stomped and glowed. (I said you can-)

Ripple!

The sound snapped Ken out of his trance and he turned to see the Dewott grow into a quadrupedal otter with a shell on his head. Something that Ken remembered dreaming about.

PEW!

The evolution ended and the boy found himself being stared at in worry by a Samurott with a darker shell with a crooked barbed wavy spike for a tip. Even the white whiskers and beard were wavy. The Samurott realized he was being looked and and checked himself out, finding the dark colors a surprise. Baymax stopped out and begun to power down and fall on his fists. We did a thing.

The Iron Hands helped him up as the Samurott hurried ahead to a gate blocking the way. Hiro thought. "That drained a lot of Baymax's power. But I think we can still get out of" WRWRWR!

The facility behind had a red glow as Finizen nodded and jetted ahead with the Otter. Honey Lemon and Fred had an idea together as the band hurried to call their partners back, baring the Iron Hands keeping Baymax moving. Hayner readied a net ball. "Amphib, we got to swim out!"

Out came a Poliwrath that focused and jogged, Xion followed. "Let's go Tauros!"

Karmi was nearing a squee as Wasabi hurried to an otter that drew out a jagged blade. "Time to make Chop Chop!" Slash! The gate was chopped as Tatsugiri turned to find the red glow turning into a slow red explosion. "Oi, big boom."

The other end of the gate was a ledge going down into the sea. Fred went over the edge "Things are about to get muy caliente." and blasted flames that made steam. Honey Lemon used her chemball to clap the steam into a downward slide of ice. She asked the rather surprised Karmi. "We should talk about the catch phrases."

Vikavolt wasn't in the mood with the growing explosion and pushed Poliwrath, Tauros and Finizen over the slide, Sharp Shell sprinted as the Iron Hands pushed Baymax down and lost her balance in the descent. The rest hurried as the explosion was behind them and Ken unleashed a blast of ice at the end, making a platform for the band to land right as the island exploded. The platform was sent flying, Vikavolt caught up to find the band landed fine, with Amphib and Finizen over into the water and the heavy Samurott leaning.

As the band were coming through, Ken was in a pant. His starter got up and turned, finding the boy snapping out of a battle trance. Sharp Shell hurried to help him sit on his rear. (Easy, easy! We're out of there.) Ken counted, saw Hiro and Karmi shaking off the snow, look to each other and then look away in denial. Ken eased his breathing. "We're all out of there." He got up as Hiro was getting to work on recharging Baymax, Karmi asked. "Was that Overdrive Mode? Did you make that because of me?"

Hiro took the chance to keep a facade. "Yeah. you're really the one that saved the day back there." Xion was getting up sore and admitted. "We were caught up in there and didn't think to have our partners chip in like that." She thought and looked to a Tauros that was getting to work in taking a dip in the sea and pushing the iceberg. "They probably didn't figure out that we've gave you guys some fighters."

Ken agreed to that. "We wouldn't have been able to bust out in time if someone didn't come up with that idea. That was out of the box thinking back there."

Karmi blushed in a charm, knowing where that kind of planning came from. "So... you guys have read my story? Did... you like it?"

Hiro remembered. "Yeah... about that. I've been meaning to say to you that..." He didn't have the nerve. "That was quite the inspiration you have. We appreciate that, Karmi." The girl gasped and squeed. "Eeeh! This is the best day ever!" She glomped Hiro, as much as that amused the Tatsugiri.

At the edge of a dock.

Sableye and Emboar were out, observing an island that their friends have flown to. The gem goblin caught sight of a red glow and a massive explosion engulfing the island, freaking the two out. "Crud! What did they-" She saw an ice slope be made and used as a last ditch escape plan that seem to have paid off. She stopped and phewed as Emboar was having a cold sweat, she pat him on the head. "False alarm. They got out."

She jumped down as Emboar noticed and thought. "If those crooks are able to pull this, what's going to stop them from trying again?" Sableye shrugged. "Unless we can get to tracking, we just got to plan ahead. Once we check up on them, we should think about what those balls would mean for-" Her eyes saw something blue and yellow toss at the back of the Emboar. Tapping him on the back and dragging him in.

Bop! Bop! Bop! Shake...shake... Sableye turned to the source and found Pete going for his pocket

Click!

The Sableye readied her claws and sprinted on all fours, only to find the villain bringing out a dusk ball. "All lined up, Gemmy!" Fling! The Sableye eeked, rolled to dodge and hurried to the ball that was drawn to a glove the villain aimed. She hissed and scurried into the darkness, intercepted by a slinging Globby and a Ditto who's transformed into a mighty Emboar. She flung herself to the Ditto and clapped a fake out before flipping over and escaping. Pete groaned and laughed. "Those Gem Eyes are only going to shine our way to ya!" Globby laughed with him. "Oh, that's a good one!"
