Hello everyone, sorry for the wait, I was working on other stuff, and this one is a long one. I know this one wasn't posted on Saturday or Sunday like normal, but I'll be busy next weekend, and didn't want you all to wait until the 7th to read this chapter. So I posted it today.
Now as you might have heard from my other stories. I thought of a crossover story of my Kipo Story being mixed with Zootopia, and there's a broad summary of this crossover.
Set years after the ending of Kipo, life is going well for all of them, there's peace in Las Vasta, and they even started families and have their kids. But one day while Kipo and Kalena are out by themselves, they're forced on a mission to find someone lost in Zootopia if they want to go home to their families. And along the way, they make friends with a rabbit and fox. Now can the four of them work together and find who they're looking for and bring peace to the city, or will the city tear itself apart before they can complete their mission.
Now let's start Chapter 13.
Chapter 13
Ride Off To Meet The Emperor
After escaping Daath, everyone reached a wide open area, and while Diaz let Camerupt go free, Guy was seeing if anyone came after them. "Looks like no one's following us." Guy said to everyone.
"With all the guys we took out, I doubt they have any one to spare to chase us." Diaz said to everyone. "Luke, very good." Zaid said to everyone. "Yeah Luke where did you get that belt, and can we have one?" Anise asked Luke.
"If I told you where I got you wouldn't believe me." Luke said to everyone. "Maybe not. But I'm guessing that you got that driver from the same… something… I got mine form." Diaz said to Luke. "From what he said to me. Yep." Luke said to Diaz.
"If that's the case. Can we ask him for some drivers?" Anise asked Luke. "Sorry, but he won't give any of you a Driver." Luke said to everyone. "What? Why?" Anise asked Luke. "One second, he left a message." Luke said, as he patted himself, looking for something.
Luke then pulled out a piece of paper out of thin air, like he had a hidden pocket.
"Okay where we go. A message from him. Anise, I know your secrets and will not give you a driver. Jade, I don't expect you to keep it in one piece. Ion, you're too physically weak to be a rider. Natalia, you have to do something about that personality of yours before I can think about giving you power. Qadira, I don't trust you not to break a driver with your strength. Guy, you have to get over your female problem before I even think about giving you some power. Whina, so long as you refuse to hurt anyone, a driver would be useless. And Tear, if I gave you any sort of power, you and I won't live more than an hour." Luke said to everyone, as he read the paper, earning a mean look from everyone.
"While I never heard such rudeness." Natilia said to everyone. "But whoever wrote that message wasn't wrong. I would disassemble my driver." Jade said to everyone. "Is no one else creeped out by the stuff written down?" Whina asked everyone.
"It is concerning that someone we have never seen or met knows some personal information about us." Tear said to everyone. "And it was a rude way to just tell us we're not getting a driver." Qadria said to everyone.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have to ask. What do we do now? War's about to start and things look seriously bad!" Anise said to everyone. "Can't we just go to Baticul and stop my uncle?" Luke asked everyone.
"Considering the Score says his kingdom will gain unprecedented prosperity for this war, I doubt we can reason with him." Daiz said to Luke. "He's right. Even if he wasn't. Mohs has His Majesty's ear. It would be running right into enemy territory." Tear said to Luke.
"Is Mohs word strong?" Zaid asked everyone. "I'm afraid it is Zaid. Father trusts Mohs." Natalia said to everyone. "Okay, we can't go to the capital. Any other ideas?" Qadira asked everyone.
"I'm worried about the talk of St. Binah falling." Jade said to everyone. "Then why don't we petition help from Malkuth's Emperor Peony? He doesn't want war, and he would have gotten word of any signs of Rugnica's collapse." Ion said to everyone. "Sounds like a plan." Anise said to everyone.
"Okay, let's do that. But where'll we get a ship to Malkuth?" Luke asked everyone. "Asch left the Tartarus in Daath's harbor for us. Let's head there." Jade said to Luke.
"He did? Okay. The harbor's northwest, right? Let's go." Luke said to everyone. "And let's not waste time. Let's mount up." Diaz said to everyone.
Everyone nodded, before they let out Miles, Selim, Dahy, Divyam, Sivan, Fiamma, Keyon, Chedi, Anzan, Braiden, and Vishesh form their Pokeballs, got on their backs, and started to head northwest.
Less than an hour later everyone reached the docks. "The Emperor's in the capital, grand Chokmah. Where's that from here? Luke asked everyone, as they returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs, walked through the docks and to the Tartarus. "Um, northwest, I think." Anise said to Luke, as they entered the Tartarus.
"Doesn't Grand Chokmah turn into a fortress in wartime? Will the port be open?" Guy asked Jade, while they walked to the Tartarus' bridge. "You're well informed. That's correct." Jade said to Guy. "But war hasn't started yet." Anise said to Jade. "Even so, I imagine they've sealed off invasion routes in preparation for an attack." Jade said to Anise.
"But won't they let you through, Jade?" Luke asked Jade. "Right now, mentioning my name would probably have the opposite effect. All of my men were killed, and I've been missing since Akzeriuth. Now I show up in a landship that was supposedly captured. I wouldn't be surprised if they opened fire on us." Jade said to Luke.
"Then how do we get into or even close to this Grand Chokmah?" Diaz asked Jade, as they entered the Tartarus' bridge.
"Why don't we dock somewhere and go by land? If we approach unarmed, then perhaps…" Ion said to everyone, before being interrupted by Whina. "We might just be able to enter the city. It's probably our best bet to get into Grand Chokmah." Whina said to everyone.
"Rotelro Bridge is still under repair. We should be able to land there." Tear said to everyone. "That looks like our best choice." Jade said to everyone.
"Then it's settled. Let's head for Rotelro Bridge." Natalia said to everyone, as they took their sets, while Anise sighed. "We have to walk." Anise said to everyone. "Deal with it, Anise." Whina said to Anise, as they made the Tartarus move.
While out at sea, the ship rocked, causing Natalia to fall to the floor, as everyone tried to stay on their feet. That's when an alarm sounded. "Now what?" Qadira asked everyone.
"Is it going to sink?" Anise asked everyone. "I'll take a look." Jade said to everyone, as he left. "I'll go, too. I may be able to help if any fon machines need repair." Guy said to Jade, as he went after Jade.
"Master, I can't swim." Mieu said to Luke. "I know. Don't worry. We're not going to sink." Luke said to Mieu. "Let's wait until Jade and Guy get back before you make any promise." Diaz said to Luke.
A couple minutes later, Jade and Guy came back to everyone. "Guy managed to repair the engine damage. We should still be able to move." Jade said to everyone. "It's only temporary. I'd like to get it repaired in port somewhere." Guy said to everyone.
"And where would that be?" Daiz asked everyone. "The closest port from here is Keterburg." Tear said to everyone. "Then let's go there." Luke said to everyone. "That's okay with you, right, Jade?" Luke asked Jade. "I suppose so." Jade said, as he piloted the Tartarus towards Keterburg, not sounding too excited about that.
Soon, Jade parked the Tartarus in a small port city, with stone buildings, covered in snow, but the town looked like it was a bit of a tourist city.
Once they left the Tartarus, they were met by a guard. "Excuse me. I need to confirm your passports and ship registration." The guard said to everyone. "I'm Colonel Jade Ccurtiss, Third Division, Malkuth Imperial Forces." jade said to the guard.
"M-my apologies. But I heard you were killed at Akzeriuth." The guard said to Jade. "That matter is top secret. Our ship's engine was damaged during our mission, so we stopped here. I'll explain the situation to the governor, Viscount Osborne. You may inspect the ship as you please." Jade said to the guard.
"Yes, sir. Shall I show you to the city?" The guard asked everyone. "That won't be necessary. I was born here. I'm familiar with the area." Jade said to the guard. "Understood. Then, if you'll excuse me." The guard said to Jade, before leaving.
"Huh, so you were born here, Jade?" Luke asked Jade. "It's quite the cozy hometown you have here." Diaz said to Jade, as he looked all over the place, a hint of doubt in his voice. "It cold." Zaid said to everyone.
"So what are we going to do about repairs?" Luke asked everyone. "We can report that to the governor and ask for help." Jade said to everyone. "After you Jade, this is your hometown, you know it best." Diaz said to Jade, making Jade lead everyone to the governor's place.
After a bit of walking, Jade lead everyone to the governor's building, and upon entered the governor's office, they found themselves looking at a woman who looked a lot like Jade, only for her to being wearing a white suit that revealed the upper part of her chest, and her hair tied into a bum on the back.
Floating around her was a creature that looked like it was made of ice cream, with the cone being made of ice with stumps for arms, and a large ice cream like head, with a large smile, light blue eyes with dark blue irises, and four point ice shards for cheeks.
"Is that an ice cream cone?" Anise asked everyone. "Close it's a Vanllite. Here." Diaz said to Ainse, as he pulled out his Rotom Phone.
Name/Vanillite
Classification/Fresh Snow Pokemon
Type/Ice
Text/Unable to survive in hot areas, it makes itself comfortable by breathing out air cold enough to cause snow. It burrows into the snow to sleep.
This caused the woman to notice everyone, and look at them, while Diaz put his Rotom Phone away.
"Jade?! Oh, my brother's alive!" The woman said to jade, both very supposed and happy to see him. "Brother?! Seriously?!" Luke asked Jade, as everyone was on some level of shock.
"Hello, Nephry. It's been a while, hasn't it? Not since your wedding, I believe." Jade said to the woman, acting normal.
(Really? That's how he reacts? Does he know how upset you were?) Vanillite asked Nephry, sounding upset with a male voice. "Relax Sorbet, that's just how my brother is." Nephry said to Vanillite.
"But what's going on?! They said you were killed at Akzeriuth." Nephry asked Jade. "Well, what happened is…" Jade said to Nephry, before explaining everything that happened in recent events.
"That's incredible. I'm just glad you're safe." Nephry said to Jade. "I hate to ask, but what are you going to do about our ship?" Diaz asked Nephry. "We'll inspect the Tartarus. Once you're resupplied, please go see Emperor Peony. He's been very worried about Jade." Nephry said to everyone.
"Oh? Didn't everyone think I was dead?" Jade asked Nephry. 'His majesty was the only one who believed you were still alive. The rest of you, too, please wait a bit while we prepare your ship. This is a tourist city so I think you'll be safe here. I'll book a room at the inn for you. Please get some rest." Nephry said to everyone.
Everyone nodded and started to leave, but before Luke and Zaid could leave, Nephry stopped them. "If you don't mind, I'd like a word with you two. Please come by again later, by yourselves." Nephry said to Luke and Zaid, before they left the room.
A couple minutes later, everyone reached the inn, and started to check in. "We've received word from the governor. Please, make yourselves comfortable." the lady at the front desk said to everyone. "Oh, I forgot something at Nephry's place. Zaid, can you help me get it?" Luke said to everyone and asked Zaid, acting like a fool. "Yes." Zaid said to Luke.
"Shall I join you two?" Guy asked Luke and Zaid. "Nephry's a woman, remember?" Luke asked Guy. "Oh, I love LOOKING at beautiful women." Guy said to Luke.
"Guy is most certainly… a guy…" Natalia said to everyone. "She's an older woman, and married, you know." Anise said to Guy. "And she or her brother can arrest you if you try anything stupid." Qadira said to Guy.
"W-wait, hold on, I didn't mean it like that." Guy said to everyone. "Master, I'll go with you, too." Mieu said to Luke. "Gaaah, everybody just shut up! I don't need anyone but Zaid to come with me!" Luke said to everyone, as he left, with Zaid going after him.
After ditching everyone, Luke and Zaid returned to Nephry's office. "Nephry, we back. What word do you need to say?" Zaid asked Nephry, getting her attention.
"I wanted to say, I'm sorry. When I heard you two were a replica, I thought I simply must tell you two about my brother." Nephry said to them. "What are you talking about?" Luke asked Nephry.
"The reason why Jade created fomicry… Even now, I still remember that day. I was careless and broke my favorite doll. My brother developed the basis for fomicry, and used it to create a copy of my doll- a replica. He was nine years old." Nephry said to them.
"Unbelievable." Luke said to Nephry. "So Jade father?" Zaid asked Nephry. "No, Jade isn't your father, he just has his own way of thinking." Nephry said to Zaid.
"Normally, you'd simply buy another doll, but my brother created a copy. I felt something abnormal in his way of thinking." Nephry said to everyone, not looking at them. "Abnormal. You don't have to put it like that." Luke said to Nephry.
"He acts nice now, but as a child, my brother was a terror. A devil. He could use fonic artes that adults found difficult. He enjoyed killing even harmless monsters. My brother didn't understand what it meant for living things to die." Nephry said to them, still not looking at them.
"He doesn't seem that way to me." Luke said to Nephry. "But he enjoy awkward." Zaid said to Luke. "Okay, he does enjoy putting us in awkward situations. But he doesn't seem like he enjoys all the stuff you said Nephry." Luke said to everyone.
"It was Professor Nebilim who changed him. She was a healer, a Seventh Fonist. Jade can't use the Seventh Fonon, so he admired her. But a tragedy occurred. He tried to use the Seventh Fonon and wound up unleashing a fonic arte he couldn't control. Jade's fonic arte struck down Professor Nebilim and set the building on fire." Nephry said to everyone, as she stood up and turned away from them.
"He killed her?!" Luke asked Nephry. "She was still barely alive, just laying there. My brother looked at her, and had an idea. There was still time to make a replica. He could save Professor Nebilim." Nephry said to them, surprising them both.
"Jade extracted her information and created a replica. But the replica that was born was nothing more than a monster." Nephry said to them. "What happened to the real Nebilim?" Luke asked Nephry.
"She passed away. After that, my brother's talents were recognized, and he was adopted into the famous Curtiss military family. I think he probably wanted a better environment for studying how to bring back the Professor." Nephry said to them.
"But, he's stopped replicating living things. Why?" Luke asked Nephry. "If he care not for life or dead, why stop?" Zaid asked Nephry, as Nephry turned to them.
"That's thanks to Emperor Peony. Those two are best friends." Nephry said to them. "I see." Luke said to Nephry. "But, honestly… I think, deep down, my brother still wants to resurrect Professor Nebilim." Nephry said to Luke.
"I don't really think that's the case." Luke said to Nephry. "Luke, right. We proof that he could make her." Zaid said to Nephry.
"Yes, it may just be a groundless fear. But I still wanted to let you know, so that you could help keep him in check. I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time. Thank you for listening." Nephry said to them, before they left for the inn.
Once they reached the Inn, Luke and Zaid were met by Jade, and Jade alone. "So I presume Nephry's told you two." Jade said to them. "T-told us what?" Luke asked Jade, not looking at Jade. "We know no thing." Zaid said to Jade, not looking at Jade as well.
"You two are naughty boys, telling lies like that." Jade said to them, clearly not believing them. "How did you know?" Luke asked Jade.
"It doesn't matter. Though I will say, for the record, that I no longer desire to resurrect the Professor." Jade said to them, making them look at Jade. "Really? You're sure?" Luke asked Jade, a suspicious tune in his voice.
"You two should know the reason for that better than anyone. I want to beg Professor Nebilim's forgiveness… so that I might feel better. But replicas have no memory of the past. A replica cannot forgive me." Jade said to them.
"Jade." Luke said to Jade, a little worried. "I'll live the rest of my life pained by the sins of my past." Jade said to them.
"Sins? You mean, killing Nebilim?" Luke asked Jade. "Hmm… Perhaps my greatest sin was not understanding the significance of life and death." Jade said to Luke.
"If I had the ability to make replicas… I think I would've done the same thing." Luke said to Jade.
"Hah hah. Are you trying to cheer me up? You've somewhat missed the mark… but I appreciate the sentiment. In any case, you mustn't tell anyone of this. Understood?" Jade asked Luke and Zaid.
"All right." Luke said to Jade. "Me no explain, anyway." Zaid said to Jade. "That's a promise." Jade said to Luke, before they went to their rooms, and rested for the night.
After a cold miserable night of sleep, everyone gathered in the lobby, and was met by Nephry and Sorbet. "The tartarus inspection is complete. You can leave any time." Nephry said to everyone. "Thank you Nephry." Diaz said to Nephry.
"Okay, shall we head for grand Chokmah now?" Guy asked everyone. "Yes. We must inform the Emperor as quickly as possible about the danger of St. Binah falling." Tear said to Guy.
"Yes. First, let's hurry to Rotelro Bridge." Natalia said to everyone, making Anise sigh. "And then we walk from there…" Anise said to everyone, complaining. "Colonel. If I get tired, carry me on your back, okay?" Anise asked Jade, trying to act cute. "You have Anzan for that. You don't me and my aching joints." Jade said to Anise.
"To get to Grand Chokmah, we head northeast from the bridge and then pass through Theor Forest. It's a rough trip for an old man like me. You youngsters will have to shield me and lead the way." Jade said to everyone, sounding silly at the last part.
"Um… yeah." Guy said to Jade. "You never make things easy, do you Jade?" Diaz asked Jade. "There's no time to waste. Let's get going, guys!" Luke said to everyone. "Thanks for your help, Nephry." Luke said to Nephry.
"Take care." Nephry said to everyone. "Brother, please give my regards to His Majesty." Nephry said to Jade. "I will." Jade said to Nephry, before they all headed to the Tartarus.
Once they got on the Tartarus, they sailed for a couple hours and reached Rotelro bridge. Once they locked up the ship, and let out Miles, Selim, Dahy, Divyam, Sivan, Fiamma, Keyon, Chedi, Anzan, Braiden, and Vishesh, and headed Northeast.
They rode for a couple hours before they arrived at a large thick forest that was on top of a large rock wall that reached the sea on both sides, with a gate at the front the only way up. And upon entering the forest, they were met by a couple Malkuth soldiers. "Who are you?!" One of the Malkuth soldiers asked everyone.
Jade then got off Braiden and walked to the Malkuth soldiers. "I'm Colonel Jade Curtiss, commander of the Third Division, Malkuth Imperial forces." Jade said to the Malkuth soldiers. "Colonel Curtiss? We heard you were lost in the destruction of Akzeriuth." The second Malkuth soldier said to Jade.
"Viscount Osborne of keterburg will vouch for my identity. I seek an audience with His Imperial Majesty." Jade said to the Malkuth soldiers. "Well, we can let YOU through, Colonel, but…" The first Malkuth soldier said to Jade, while looking at everyone else.
"Whaaaat?! This is Ion, Fon Master of the Order of Lorelei!" Anise said to the Malkuth soldiers. "Come on! You can let us through!" Luke said to the Malkuth soldiers. "No, this could still be a trap. Even if you are from Daath, we must still refuse." The first Malkuth soldier said to Anise.
"Please wait here. Once I meet with His Majesty, they'll let you through right away. Braiden that goes for you too." Jade said to everyone. (If you say so. But please be careful.) Braiden said to Jade
"So we just hang out here. Oh, well. Guess there's nothing we can do." Guy said to everyone, annoying Luke a little.
"We'll escort you." The second Malkuth soldier said to Jade, before Jade and the Malkuth soldiers walked away.
They waited for Jade for an hour or two, and Luke and Anise were getting impatient, even Anise punching a tree. "How much longer is this going to take?" Luke asked everyone. "Yes, it's hard just waiting." Natalia said to Luke.
"Well it's not like we can do anything else." Diaz said to everyone. But that's when they heard a sword slash, and the sound of someone screaming in pain.
"What was that?!" Tear asked everyone. "Danger." Zaid said to everyone. "Let's go!" Natalia said to everyone. "Just stay on guard, we don't know what's going on." Diaz said to everyone, as they went into the forest.
Not long after entering the forest, they found a dying Malkuth soldier. "Hang on!" Natalia said to the Malkuth soldier, as everyone gathered around the Malkuth soldier. "Those were Oracle soldiers damn it…" The Malkuth soldier said to everyone, before he passed away.
"Oracle?! Could Van be involved?" Tear asked everyone. "What's he trying to do in Grand Chokmah?" Luke asked everyone. "Maybe he's working on destroying a Sephiroth Tree?" Anise asked everyone.
"No, there shouldn't be a Sephiroth in this area." Ion said to Anise. "We don't know if this is Van. For all we know, Mohs sent these Oracle soldiers here to prevent us from telling the Emperor the truth." Diaz said to everyone. "We're not getting anywhere standing around talking! Let's go get them!" Luke said to everyone.
"Yes, We cannot permit this kind of wanton violence!" Natalia said to everyone. "Wait! If we go in without permission and Malkuth soldiers find us..." Tear said to everyone, but was interrupted by Guy. "We'll just have to stay hidden. The last thing we want is a fight with Malkuth." Guy said to Tear.
"Hide and seek, huh? Ion, please don't screw it up." Anise said to Ion. "Oh… Right!" Ion said to Anise. "Everyone just decided to go on in." Tear said to everyone, before sighing.
"Just roll with it, besides, staying here might not be safe either. Best to stay on the move, and for you all to change your Pokemon to help keep that low profile. Minus me, Luke, and Zaid, me and Zaid need our Cyclizars, and Ramon would have a harder time keeping a low profile." Diaz said to everyone.
Everyone nodded yes, as Whina switched Divyam with Inesa, Tear switch Sivan with Liran, Natalia switched Fiamma with Plata, Qadira switched Keyon with Babila, Guy switched Chedi with Lokej, Anise switched Anzan with Fie, and Ion switched Vishesh with Jataayu.
Once everyone was ready, they headed into the forest.
After walking around for a bit, avoiding some guards, they almost reached the city, without any sign of Oracle soldiers. "We're almost at the exit. Have the Oracle soldiers already entered the city?" Luke asked everyone.
"There's a Malkuth soldier on the ground!" Natalia said to everyone, as she rushed to a dead Malkuth soldier that was right by a rock wall. "Natalia wait! Don't just rush off, it might be a trap!" Qadira said to Natalia.
That's when Largo came down from the top of the rock wall, and tried to slash natalia, but Natalia jumped back, avoiding the attack, then fired an arrow at largo. But Largo caught the arrow.
"Not bad for a princess!" Largo said to Natalia, breaking the arrow and getting into his fighting stance.
"You're the one we met in the desert. You're Largo!" Natalia said to Largo as everyone moved to Natalia's side, weapons read, with Diaz holding out his Iron Thorns Ignition Key, Zaid holding out his Great Tusk Ignition Key, and Luke holding his Leaf Key in his right hand and his Cornerstone mask in his left hand.
"So, you're the intruder! What are you doing in Grand Chokmah?!" Luke asked Largo. "You'd better keep an eye on more than just what's in front of you, boy." Largo said to Luke. "What?" Luke asked Largo, before Tear tackled Luke.
The reason she tackled him was because Guy tried to attack him. "Guy?!" Luke asked Guy, surprised by his actions. "Whoa, whoa, what's going on?!" Anise asked everyone, as she stood in front of Ion.
"Oh, no! The curst slot! Sync must be nearby!" Ion said to everyone, as Guy tried to attack Luke.
"I guess I have no choice, sorry Guy." Luke said to Guy, as he put the Cornerstone mask into the Leaf Key, then put Leaf Key into the slot on his driver. "GRASS!" A gentle female voice said from his driver, as a flurry of green crystals in the shape of leaves came bursting out the teal tire, hitting Guy and forcing Guy back a little, and surpising Largo a little.
Luke then slide slide the Cornerstone mask down over the teal tire, causing the tire to shoot out the large crystal version of the Cornerstone mask. "TERASTALLIZING!" Luke said, as he slammed the handles into the tire, making the leaves slam into him.
"TEAL MASQUERADE: CORNERSTONE." A gentle female voice said, as the leaves broke off, and the Cornerstone mask slammed into Luke's face revealing his Teal Masquerade form with his Cornerstone Mask on, and gray fabric.
Then Luke summoned his club, and swung it at Guy, hitting Guy and forcing Guy back quit a bit
"What the?!" Largo asked, surprised even more by Luke's new power, as Guy charged at Luke. "Impressed Largo. Luke's not the helpless kid you first meet." Diaz said to Largo, as he put the Ignition Key into the slot with the dark tan side facing him. "ROCK!" A techno voice said from the driver.
Diaz then hit the button This caused the handle to pop out of the slot, minus the crystal, and made the tire spin clockwise, with the tire glowing dark tan. This made Miles' tire sack glow dark tan, and a giant dark tan crystal tire popped out of Miles' throat.
The tire headed straight for Diaz. "TERASTALLIZING!" Diaz yelled, as the tire hit him and caused the tire to fall apart. This let out a dark tan pulse of energy, and the crystals attached to Diaz's body.
"IRON THORNS!" A techno voice said, from the driver, as all the crystals broke apart, revealing Diaz in his Iron Thorns form.
"You think I'll fall to that armor again? You clearly overestimate your ability." Largo said to Diaz. "Says the guy who hasn't beat me yet." Diaz said to Largo, as he charged at Largo. But Largo blocked Diaz's punches with his scythe.
"See. I've improved since last time." Largo said to Diaz, as Diaz kept pushing force into the scythe, making it so Largo couldn't move it. "But you're still alone!" Diaz said to Largo, a smirk appearing on his digital face.
(DRAGON RUSH!) Miles said, as his body became encased in purple energy, with wings and a dragon head formed the energy around his head and the back of front legs. Miles then rushed into the left side of Largo, hitting him, and forcing Largo away from Diaz.
"Nice work Miles." Diaz said to Miles, as Miles jumped away from Largo, before noticing Luke handling Guy. "Luke be careful with Guy." Diaz said to Luke. "I'm trying to be." Luke said to Diaz, as he used his club to block Guy's attacks.
"Everyone else finds Sync!" Diaz said to everyone, as he got back to fighting Largo.
"Easier said than done!" Anise said to Diaz, as they looked around for Sync.
That's when Zaid noticed a shadow at the top of a tree. "There!" Zaid said, as he put his Great Tusk Ignition Key away and Pulled out his Scream Tail Ignition Key, and the Ignition Key into the slot with the pink side facing him.
"PSYCHIC!" An aggressive voice said from his belt, as Zaid ripped it out of the slot with enough force to not only break the crystal off it, but making the tire on his belt spin counter clockwise, and glowed pink.
This made Selim's tire sack glow pink, and a giant pink crystal tire popped out of Selim's throat. The tire headed straight for Zaid. "TERASTALLIZING!" Zaid said, as the pink tire hit him, causing the tire to fall apart. This let out a pink pulse of energy, and the crystals attached to his body.
"SCREAM TAIL!" An aggressive voice said from his belt, as the crystals broke apart, revealing Zaid in his Scream Tail form.
Zaid then started to spin his tire counter clockwise. This made his ponytail glow pink and it suddenly grew and headed straight for the top of a tree. Then everyone watched as Sync jumped out the tree, and dodged the whip.
But Zaid turned his head, causing the whip to move up and grab Sync. Then with a spin of his head, Zaid made Sync crash into the ground hard. Dealing major damage to Sync and breaking the spell. Sync had on Guy, causing Guy to pass out.
"Curse you Scarlett!" Sync said to Zaid, as Zaid retracted the whip from him, and Sync got on his knees. Then Diaz punched Largo in the gut, forcing Largo back a little.
"Are you after Ion or something else?!" Luke asked Sync and Largo, pointing his club to them. "Who's ordering you? Grand Maestro Mohs? The Commandant?" Anise asked Largo and Sync.
"Either way, it's the same. We need For Master Ion." Largo said to Anise. "We thought he'd perished along with Akzeriuth, but I guess he's tougher than the town." Sync said to everyone, making all of them mad.
"How dare you speak so shamelessly! You destroy an entire city!" Natalia said to Sync. "Don't accuse us. The one who destroyed Akzeriuth was that replica there." Sync said to everyone, while pointing at Luke, making Luke feel bad.
"He's not to blame. Your master is. Van made Luke to destroy Akzeriuth. It was your master's plan. I may not understand why you people choose to follow that psycho. But I don't care. At this moment, you only have two choices. Surrender now, or after we beat you black and blue." Diaz said to Sync and Largo.
"You really think you can beat us? Since you refuse to kill us, you hold yourself back. A man like that can't possibly do what must be done." Largo said to Diaz.
"Says the man that hasn't stopped me yet. From what I remember of the score, you God generals only beat me twice, once when you used my friends as hostages, and the other time with Zaid. But with Zaid on my side now and my friends aren't hostages, so I doubt you can beat me." Diaz said to Largo.
"I won't be so sure about the hostage part." Sync said to Diaz, before a large light green string came out of nowhere and wrapped around Ion, like he was in spider webbing, with a string still attached to the webbing around Ion.
"What the?" Anise asked, right before Ion was pulled away by the webbing. "Oh no, you don't!" Diaz said, as he grabbed the webbing, and broke it, stopping Ion from getting taken.
Then Diaz dropped the webbing attached to Ion and grabbed the other webbing. Diaz then gives it a hard pull, causing a large Rob-Mon to come out from the cliff behind Largo and Sync.
The Rob-Mon had a ball for a body with lines on it that look like it could open ip with faint light green light leaking form the lines, it had 8 very long legs with spikes tips, with two light green ball in teach leg, one ball in the middle of its legs and the other ball close to the tip of the legs, it had two head on opposite sides of its body with four vertical light green lines for eyes.
"Is that some kind of Rob-Mon… Spider?" Whina asked, confused by what she was seeing. "Doesn't look like a spider to me. And I've killed a lot of spiders." Qadira said to everyone.
"This is Rob-Mon Trapper. And he's going to make sure Ion doesn't get away from us again. And take care of fools like you." Sync said to everyone.
That's when Rob-Mon Trapper's light green balls glowed green and started to shoot out a furry of small green energy balls in every direction. "Whoa!" Luke said, as he, Miles, Dahy, Whina, Anise, Inesa, Fie, Jataayu, Tear, Liran, Natalia, Plata, and Lokej to take cover behind some trees.
With Whina, Anise, Inesa, Fie, and Jataayu dragging Ion to cover, and Lokej dragging Guy to cover as well. All the while Zaid spun his whip around, blocking the energy balls from hitting him or Selim.
While Diaz and Draiden just stood there, the energy balls had very little effect on them, with Draiden glowing red, and the balls of energy making a banging sound on Diaz, while Diaz covered his head with his arms.
"Dahy I need you to stop them with Scale Shot." Luke said to Dahy. (Good idea Luke.) Dahy said to Luke, as she whipped her tail at Rob-Mon Trapper, firing purple energy spikes at Rob-Mon Trapper.
This caused Rob-Mon Trapper to stop attacking and jump into the air avoiding the attack, landing near Largo and Sync. "Luke, you and Dahy handle Rob-Mon Trapper. Zaid, you and Selim handle Sync. Miles, you and I are going to handle Largo. Everyone else, help out where you see fit, but mainly stay alive and don't get caught." Diaz said to everyone, as he and Miles charged at Largo, with Diaz ready to punch Largo.
(Right Behind you! DRAGON RUSH!) Miles said, as his body became encased in purple energy, with wings and a dragon head formed the energy around his head and the back of front legs.
"Right!" Zaid said to Diaz, as he and Selim rushed Sync. (Sure. Iron Tail!) Selim said, as his tail glowed sliver.
"On it." Luke said to Diaz, as he and Dahy ran out of cover and headed towards Rob-Mon Trapper. (Let's end thai quickly. Trailblaze.) Dahy said, as her feet glowed green, and she started to move in a zig-zig line.
And while Diaz and Miles's attacks were blocked by Largo's scythe, Sync and Rob-Mon Trapper jumped to the side, avoiding everyone else's attacks.
And while Sync was getting chased by Zaid and Selim. Rob-Mon Trapper made light green energy come out of the lower orbs and covered the tips of its legs with light green energy.
Rob-Mon Trapper then started to skitter, moving around Luke and Dahy, and charged at Ion, while Whina tried to rip Ion out of the webbing.
"You gotta be kidding me." Whina said to everyone. "I got this!" Anise said to everyone, as she pulled out her doll and made it grow. Anise then made her doll attack Rob-Mon Trapper, but Rob-Mon Trapper skittered around her and still headed to Ion.
"Nice work Anise." Whina said to Anise, disappointed clear in her voice. (Allow me! Reflect!) Jataayu said, as his eyes glowed pink, and the second before Rob-Mon Trapper reached them, a glass wall appeared, and Rob-Mon Trapper crashed into it.
"Fie, blow that thing away from Ion with Gust!" Ansie said to Fie. (Right.) Fie said to Anise, as he flapped his wings, causing a gust of wind to be blown towards Rob-Mon Trapper.
But Rob-Mon Trapper noticed this, and also noticed Anise was ready to have her doll hit it for when it jumped back. So when it jumped back to avoid the Gust, it jumped in a way to avoid Anise as well.
(That thing is slippery.) Inesa said to everyone. "We have to go. Sorry everyone, but we have to prioritize Ion safety." Whina said to everyone. "Inesa use Mist." Whina said to Inesa. (Sorry about this!) Inesa said to everyone, before letting out a surge of mist, covering her, Whina, Fie, Ion, Jaraayu, and Anise as she ran into it.
When the mist cleared Inesa, Whina, Fie, Ion, Jaraayu, and Anise were all gone. This caused Rob-Mon Trapper to stand still and look for them with its eyes. "So much for their help." Qadira said everyone, as she and Babila charged at Rob-Mon Trapper
"They're doing their jobs. We have to do ours. Dahy use Aerial Ace." Luke said to Qadira and Dahy. "And Babila use Rock Smash!" Qadira said to Baila. (Okay.) Babila said to Qadira, as she made
(You got it.) Dahy said to Luke, as she disappeared then reappeared right into the side of Rob-Mon Trapper sides, making it slide towards Luke, Qadira, and Babila, as the three of them raised their weapons.
Seeing this coming, Rob-Mon Trapper made light green energy come out of the lower orbs and covered the tips of its legs with light green energy. Then it skittered away, dodging Luke, Qadira, and Babila's attacks.
Meanwhile Zaid and Selim were still chasing Sync with Selim's tail glowing silver and Zaid cracking his whip at Sync.
"You two freaks need to get off my back!" Sync said to Zaid and Selim, as he chased a wind spell at them, making Zaid and Selim slide back. "Good. Now I get to finish you." Sync said to Zaid, as he started to cast a lighting spell.
"Danger." Zaid said, as he pulled out Sandy Shock Ignition Key into the slot, with the yellow side facing him, before he put it into his driver.
"ELECTRICITY!" An aggressive voice said from his driver, as Zaid ripped it out of the slot with enough force to not only break the crystal off it, but making the tire on his driver spin counter clockwise, and glowed yellow.
This made Selim's tire sack glow yellow, and a giant yellow crystal tire popped out of Selim's throat. "TERASTALLIZING!" Zaid said, as the yellow crystal tire moved towards him, and hit him, causing the tire to fall apart. This let out a yellow pulse of energy, and the crystals attached to his body.
"SANDY SHOCKS!" An aggressive voice said from his driver, as the crystals broke apart, revealing Zaid in his Sandy Shock form.
Zaid then slammed his staff into the ground, and made a lot of sand come out of the ground. Then Sync casted a lighting spell at Zaid. But Zaid used the sand to block the lighting attack.
Zaid then spun his staff around, and turned all the sand into balls of sand. Zaid then pointed his staff at Sync, sending the sand balls flying towards Sync. Sync dodged most of the sand balls.
But while Sync was distracted by the sand ball, he failed to notice Selim getting closer to him. (Power Whip!) Selim said, as his tail turned green, and he whipped it into Sync's left side, sending Sync flying through a tree. "Good Selim." Zaid said to Selim, before they got back to chasing after Sync, who was trying to get away.
With Diaz and Miles, they were trying to hit Largo, but Largo kept using his scythe to block their attacks. Then, as Largo forced Diaz and Miles back, he got ready to slash off Diaz's head, swinging it upward.
But Diaz closed the sloth on his driver, turning himself back to his Violet Iron form, surprising. And with Largo's scythe in the air and him off guard, Daiz was able to get close to Largo, and deliver an uppercut into Largo's jaw, making Largo stumble back a little.
"I see you were prepared for Iron Thorns. So let's try this form instead." Diaz to Largo, as he put out the Iron Tread Ignition Key and put it into the slot, with the silver side facing him.
"STEEL!" A techno voice said from the belt. Diaz then hit the button This caused the handle to pop out of the slot, minus the crystal, and made the tire spin clockwise, with the tire glowing silver. This made Miles' tire sack glow silver, and a giant silver crystal tire popped out of Miles' throat.
The tire headed for Largo, but Largo swatted it, making it turn around and heading straight for Diaz.
"TERASTALLIZING!" Diaz yelled, as the tire hit him and caused the tire to fall apart. This let out a sliver pulse of energy, and the crystals attached to Diaz's body. "IRON TREADS!" A techno voice said, as the crystal broke apart, revealing Diaz in his Iron Treads form.
"Let's see how you can handle this!" Diaz said to Largo, as he charged at Largo. "You think becoming smaller will help you!" Largo said to Diaz, as he tried to slash Diaz again.
But Diaz blocked Largo's scythe with his right shield, and hocked it with a spike on the shield. Largo tried to block Diaz's left shield with the stick off his staff, but Diaz made the rim of his shield spin, making his shield roll off the stick and into Largo's chest. When it's this mobile, yep!" Diaz said to Largo, as he made the rims of his shield spin, causing Largo to feel a burn feeling on his chest.
Getting tired of this, Largo let go of the lower part of his scythe and got ready to grab Diaz's neck. But that's when an arrow came out of nowhere and into his hand, surprising Largo as he groaned in pain.
Largo turned his head to see that it was Natalia who fired the arrow into his hand. (Tackle!) Plata said, as they glowed white and flew right into Largo's face. This stunned Largo, and allowed Diaz to push Largo's Scythe away and started delivering rapid fire jabs into Largo's chest, before delivering a double uppercut into Largo chin, forcing him even further back this time.
Meanwhile, Luke and Dahy was still trying to catch Rob-Mon Trapper, with Lokej and Braiden helping out. (Iron Head!) Braiden said, as the afro on his head glowed silver and he chased Rob-Mon Trapper
But while avoiding Braiden, it fired webbing from its eyes, making a large web between two trees. And with Braiden in a rage from Rob-Mon Trapper being annoying, he failed to notice Rob-Mon Trapper leading him towards the webbing.
But Dahy noticed. (Quick Attack!) Dahy said, as she glowed white, and rushed Braiden, hitting Braiden in the side, knocking him out of the way of the webbing, while Rob-Mon Trapper jumped over both of them.
(Thanks Dahy, I didn't notice the trap.) Braiden said to Dahy. (No problem.) Dahy said to Braiden, while Luke and Lokej tried to smash Rob-Mon Trapper.
(Brutal Swing!) Lokej said, as he made his leak glow black, and kept swinging his leak around.
But that's when Rob-Mon Trapper fired some webbing from its eyes, hitting Lokej's leak. With a tug, Rob-Mon Trapper pulled Lokej's leak out of his hands, and flung it into the webbing.
(MY LEAK!) Lokej said in a panic. (One second. Scale Shot.) Dahy said, as she whipped her tail at the webbing, firing purple shards at the webbing, cutting up the webbing, and letting the leak fall to the floor.
(Thanks Dahy.) Lokej said to Dahy, as he moved to pick up his leak. (Still stick.) Lokej said, feeling the leak. (No problem.) Dahy said to Lokej, before they got back to chasing Rob-Mon Trapper.
With Zaid and Selim, Sync had been avoiding most of their attacks, but hadn't gotten away from either of them, and this annoyed Zaid. "Coward." Ziad said to Sync, before pulling out his Flutter Mane key. With the key's dark purple side facing him.
"GHOST!" An aggressive voice said from his belt, as Zaid ripped it out of the slot with enough force to not only break the crystal off it, but making the tire on his belt spin counter clockwise, and glowed dark purple.
This made Cyclizar's tire sack glow dark purple, as a crystal tire popped out of Cyclizar's throat. "TERASTALLIZING!" Zaid said, as the tire moved towards him and hit him, causing the tire to fall apart. This let out a dark purple energy pulse, and the crystals attached to his body.
"FLUTTER MANE!" An aggressive voice said, as the crystal broke apart, revealing Zaid in his Flutter Mane form.
Then the fabric on Zaid's hat stood up, at the same time Zaid raised his staff and pointed it at Sync.
Then black energy appeared around Sync, making Sync stop in his tracks. Zaid then pointed the tip of his staff towards Selim, making Sync fly towards Selim.
(Iron Tail!) Selim said, as his tail turned silver. When Sync reached Selim, he smashed Sync with his tail, breaking the black energy on him, and sent him flying away.
But after he crashed into the ground, Zaid pointed his staff at Sync, and once again making black energy appear on Sync, and again sent Sync flying towards Selim, who again hit him with an Iron Tail.
With Diaz and Miles, they managed to land a few good hits on Largo, but his staff was blocking most of their attacks.
"I'm getting tired of this." Diaz said, as he pulled out his Iron Moth Ignition Key, and inserted it into the slot, with the red side facing him.
"FIRE!" A techno voice said from the belt. Diaz then hit the button This caused the handle to pop out of the slot, minus the crystal, and made the tire spin clockwise, with the tire glowing red. This made Miles' tire sack glow red, and a giant red crystal tire popped out of Miles' throat.
The tire rolled for Diaz, as Diaz did a few jumps back away from Largo. "TERASTALLIZING!" Diaz yelled, as the tire hit him and caused the tire to fall apart. This let out a red pulse of energy, and the crystals attached to Diaz's body.
"IRON MOTH!" A techno voice said, from the belt, as all the crystals broke apart, revealing Diaz in his Iron Moth form.
Diaz then turned the dial on his blaster to poison, and fired a large amount of purple smoke at Largo.
Largo tried to blow the smoke away with some powerful swings of his scythe, blowing away some of the smoke. But it didn't matter, soon the smoke covered him, and started to make him feel weak.
Seeing this, Diaz turned the dial on his blaster to flames. Then he started to let out a steam of hot flames at Largo's hands, burning his hands. Normally Largo would fight the pain of the flames and keep his grip, but the damage he took form Diaz, and the effect of the poison made him weak. So the pain he was feeling in his hands caused Largo to drop his Scythe.
(Giga Impact!) Miles said, letting out a massive amount of white energy, and rushed Largo, slamming into Largo's chest, forcing Largo back quite a bit. All the while, Diaz let the diamonds fly off his back and formed around Largo's scythe, as he switched the dial on the blaster to sun.
Then Diaz started to fire lasers at the diamonds that bounced off the diamonds, and hit the sides of Largo, leaving nasty burn slashes.
Meanwhile Rob-Mon Trapper was still giving everyone a hard time, but Tear had an idea. "Liran use Round." Tear said to Liran. (If you say so.) Liran said, before letting out a red soundwave.
The soundwave hit Rob-Mon Trapper, and caused it to slam its legs into its body, like it was protecting itself.
This gave Tear the opening she was looking for. Tear threw a few of her knives at Rob-Mon Trapper. And while most just scratched Rob-Mon Trapper's body and legs, one of her knives did break one of Rob-Mon Trapper's eyes.
This angered Rob-Mon Trapper, and once Liran attack was done, it rushed to Tear, and while Tear was ready for its attack, Rob-Mon Trapper did something she didn't expect.
Right before Rob-Mon Trapper reached Tear, it jumped into the air, and slammed its long legs into the ground around Tear while its body was above her. Then a surge of light green and white webbing came out of the light green orbs. The webbing wrapped all around Tear and the other legs, trapping Tear in a cage made out of silk.
"What the? I can't get out of this?!" Tear said to everyone, as she struggled hard to break free of the webbing. That's when Rob-Mon Trapper forced itself out of the ground, still holding Tear hostage, but thanks to holding Tear hostage, it could only move by moving the very tips of its legs, making it slower then before.
"TEAR!" Luke yelled, as he rushed to hit Rob-Mon Trapper. This time he managed to reach Rob-Mon Trapper, and hit it. But the webbing all over its body, made Luke's attack bounce off. Luke then tried attacking again and again, but his attacks did nothing.
While Luke kept attacking, Rob-Mon Trapper's light green balls glowed green and started to shoot out a furry of small green energy balls in every direction, outside the cage.
This furry of green energy balls forced Luke back and behind some trees. "I can't leave her in that thing! I have to do something! But my attacks aren't working!" Luke said to himself, sounding angry.
That's when Luke noticed the flame mask on his belt glowing red, like it felt his anger. "I see. So you want to come out." Luke said to the mask, as he pulled the handle on his left side of his driver, making the Cornerstone mask slide up, causing his cap and fabric to disappear.
"Well, let's try you out." Luke said to the flame mask, as he put the Cornerstone mask back on his left hip, he pulled out the flame mask. And he put the flame mask on the key, making a click sound before he slid the flame mask down over the teal tire, causing the tire to shoot out a crystal shape of the mask that was twice in size.
The crystal broke, revealing a grumpy red face with large bushy eyebrows, a four point white crystal star, white half oval visors for eyes, a simple light blue frown line with two sharp teeth on the end of it, the starting from one side over the top to the other side was five spots that turned into yellow flame like spikes.
"TEAL MASQUERADE: HEARTFLAME!" A gentle female voice said from his driver, as the Hearthflame mask slammed into his face, and as his cap and fabric reappeared, but this time they were a fiery red color. While the vines of his cudgel turned red, and with a tight grip on the handle, the vines burst into flames.
Luke then yelled, as he ran out of cover and into Rob-Mon Trapper's furry of green energy balls. But this time, when the green energy balls hit Luke they burned away in small flashes of fire.
Seeing that its attack was failing, Rob-Mon Trapper stopped its furry of green energy balls, and got ready to run.
(Oh no you don't! Aerial Ace!) Dahy said, as she disappeared, and then reappeared above Rob-Mon Trapper. (AAAAHHH!) Dahy said, as he put a lot of force into her attack, ripping off one of Rob-Mon Trapper's head.
And before v could understand what just happened, Dahy landed on the ground, looking serious. (QUICK ATTACK!) Dahy yelled, as she glowed white and did some fancy footwork while moving fast, before jumping up and punching Rob-Mon Trapper's other head off.
Losing its heads, it could do nothing, as Luke slammed his cudgel into its webbing, this time breaking it by burning it. Once enough of it was burned away, Luke slammed his cudgel into Rob-Mon Trapper's body and used brute force to rip a few of Rob-Mon Trapper's legs off.
When he finished ripping off legs, Luke grabbed Tear and pulled her out of Rob-Mon Trapper's trap and into his chest, carrying her like a princess.
All of Luke's damage caused Rob-Mon Trapper to lose its balance and it started to fall towards Luke and Tear, so Luke jumped backwards to avoid the attack.
But while jumping back, Tear looked at Luke, and even though Luke could see or hear her, Tears' face was blushing a bit red, and her heart was racing.
And while Luke, and almost everyone else, didn't notice Tear's face, Natalia did, as she was feeling a bit jealous seeing Tear in Luke's arms.
Once Luke was done jumping dack, he gently put Tear down on her feet. "I'll be right back." Luke said it to Tear, before rushing towards Rob-Mon Trapper.
When he reached Rob-Mon Trapper, he kicked it, making it roll to the other side with his cudgel facing up. Luke then grabbed his cudgel with both his hands from the other side of Rob-Mon Trapper's body, and pulled it like a leaver, ripping it through Rob-Mon Trapper's body.
This caused a surge of power to come out of the opening that Luke made. Seeing this Luke pulled out his cudgel and jumped back, as Rob-Mon Trapper exploded, and something was sent flying from the explosion.
The thing landed in a tree and revealed that it was a Spidops that was trapped in Rob-Mon Trapper.
(Freedom. Sweet freedom. I've missed you.) Spidops said with a male voice, before noticing everyone, and got scared. (I'm outta here!) Spidops said, before running deep into the forest as fast as it could move.
Seeing this Zaid knew the battle was over, so this time when he pointed his staff at Sync, he made Scyn fly towards Largo.
For Diaz, he kept firing lasers at Largo, but stopped when Sync crashed into Largo. This made Diaz turn to see Luke, Zaid, Dahy, and Selim walk towards him and Miles, with Ziad turning back into his Scarlet Beast form.
"It looks like the battle's over, you lose." Diaz said to Sync and Largo, as he turned back into his Violet Iron form.
"How? How can you people have power like this? It makes no sense. You all do nothing but get in our way. We're the ones on an important mission. So why don't we have power like that?!" Sync asked Daiz, Zaid, and Luke.
"Haven't you heard the stories, Sync? We're the devils that are going to destroy the Score and all its lies. People like you and Largo, that are bound to the Score, will never be able to beat us. For we are truly free men. And face whatever you bring foot first!" Diaz said to Sync.
"Foot first?" Largo asked, confused a little. "Allow us to show you." Diaz said to Largo.
"Let's end this!" Diaz said to Luke, Zaid, Miles, Selim, and Dahy. ("Right!") Luke, Zaid, Miles, Selim, and Dahy said to Diaz, as Diaz, Luke, and Zaid, got onto Miles, Selim, and Dahy's backs.
Luke then pulled the handle on his right side of the driver up, while Diaz spun his tire clockwise, and Zaid spun his tire counter clockwise. Then Miles, Selim, and Dahy jumped into the air, and Diaz, Luke, and Zaid jumped off their back, getting more air time, and halfway up, Luke's mask fell off and started to glow red.
Then in the air, Luke slammed the handle into his driver, making him go down, right foot first, and glowing teal, while Diaz's thrusters ignited and his right foot let out a surge of violet energy, and Zaid's right foot glowed scarlet.
On the way down, Luke's foot hit the back of his mask, causing the mask to let out a surge of teal energy in the shape of flames.
Largo and Sync's eyes widen, as they saw Diaz, Zaid, and Luke combined into what looked like a violet, scarlet, and teal comet that came down on them making a massive explosion with violet, scarlet, and teal sparkles coming out of the explosion.
When the explosion started to clear, Diaz, Luke, and Zaid jumped out of the smoke. And once the smoke was gone, everyone could see a seriously injured Sync and Largo, both of them still having the strength to stand after everything that happened to them.
Then Diaz, Luke, and Zaid turned to Sync and Largo, and while they could see Sync's eyes, from the expression Largo had, they knew that Sync and Largo were really angry with the three of them.
"Tell whoever you're working for. That we won't stop until we smash through their plans and create a new future for the world. And there's nothing they, or you can do to stop us!" Diaz said to Largo and Sync, a very serious tune in his voice.
"What's going on here?!" A male voice asked, as everyone heard some Malkuth Soldiers coming.
"Largo, we're retreating for now!" Sync said to Largo, as he limped away at a fast past. "I guess we have no choice. But you won't be so lucky next time, Abyss Riders!" Largo said to everyone, as he grabbed his scythe and left at a fast pass.
Once they were gone, not only did a couple of Malkuth Soldiers show up, but Ion, Whina, and Anise returned as well, with Ion no longer being wrapped in the webbing.
"Who the hell are you people?!" One of the Malkuth Soldiers asked everyone, startled by Luke, Diaz, and Zaid's Rider forms.
"Realx, we're not here to cause trouble." Diaz said to the Malkuth Soldiers, as he, Luke, and Zaid, turned back into their normal forms. "We spotted some suspicious figures while waiting for Colonel Curtiss. We pursued them here." Tear said to the Malkuth Soldier, as everyone else put their weapons away.
"You mean the people who just ran away?" The first Malkuth Soldier asked Tear. "They're soldiers of the Oracle Knights. They wounded one of our companions." Tear said to the Malkuth Soldiers.
"But you've got Oracle Knights in your group as well. Arrest them." the first Malkuth Soldier said to everyone. "I guess we shouldn't resist?" Luke asked everyone, as he and Diaz picked up Guy by the arms, and carried them over his shoulders.
"I mean, there's only a couple of them. I'm sure any one of us Abyss Riders can beat them." Diaz said to everyone. "Pleasure!" Zaid said, cracking his knuckles. "All three of you behave." Tear said to Luke, Diaz, and Zaid, making them frown a little.
The Malkuth Soldiers lead everyone to a massive old city with a waterway and features throughout the city. The Malkuth Soldiers lead everyone to a general with tan skin, and white hair that spiked to the left side of his head.
"Brigadier General Frings!" The first Malkuth Soldier said to the general, as they saluted the man. "Good work. We'll take them from here. I trust that won't be a problem?" Frings asked the Malkuth Soldiers.
"Understood, sir!" The first Malkuth Soldier said to Frings, before he and the other solder joined the line of Malkuth Soldiers behind Fring.
"You're Luke, correct? Son of Duke Fabre." Frings asked Luke. "How do you know who I am?!" Luke asked Frings. "Colonel Jade asked me to go meet you outside Theor Forest. Though it seems you entered the forest before I could do so." Frings said to Luke.
"I apologize. Malkuth soldiers had been killed. We thought it would be dangerous not to act." Tear said to Frings. "Don't apologize. We should be thanking you. But, with all the commotion, I'm afraid I must treat you as prisoners until you meet His Majesty." Frings said to everyone.
"Who cares about that?! Guy needs help!" Luke said to Frings. "Yeah, we don't care about what you have to do. But we have to help our friend." Diaz said to Frings.
"He's had a curse slot placed upon him. It's so deep, he can't fight it. I can remove it if you lend us a place where he can rest." Ion said to Frings.
"You can do that?" Luke asked Ion. "I'm probably the only one who can." Ion said to Luke. "What do you mean?" Diaz asked Ion. "The curse is a type of Daathic fonic arte, a fonic arte passed down only through Fon Masters." Ion said to Diaz.
"We'll get you a room inside the castle. What about your audience with His Majesty?" Frings asked Ion. "I'll see His Majesty the Emperor at another opportunity. Right now, I'm worried about Guy." Ion said to Frings.
"All right. I'll leave my men with you." Frings said to Ion, before signaling for a couple of Malkuth Soldiers to come forward.
"I'm staying, too! I'm Ion's guard!" Anise said to everyone. "Don't forget me, Inesa, Fie, and Jataayu. We're part of Ion's group as well. So we're going with you. Plus I'm sure Lokej would like to join us." Whina said to Anise. "Wait! So am I!" Luke said to everyone.
"I'm sure you'd find out sometime, so I guess I'll tell you now." Ion said to Luke. "Tell Luke what?" Diaz asked Ion. "A curse slot can't be used to take full control of that target." Ion said to everyone.
"What does that mean?" Luke asked Ion. "A curse slot stirs up memories and paralyzes rational thought." Ion said to Luke. "Can you explain that again? This time in English?" Diaz asked Ion.
"Guy wouldn't have attacked Luke if he didn't already have a strong desire to kill you. That's what it means." Ion said to everyone, surprising Luke. "What?" Luke asked Ion.
"You mustn't get near Guy until I've removed the curse." Ion said to Luke, before Ion left with Guy, Anise, Whina, Inesa, Fie, Jataayu, Lokej, and a few Malkuth Soldiers.
"How about taking a look around the castle for a while? You can't leave the city, but it might help you to relax." Frings said to everyone. "Yes, I think that would be good." Tear said to Frings.
"Very well then. I'll be waiting in front of the castle. Please speak to me when you're ready." Frings said to everyone, before he left with all the Malkuth Soldiers.
Once they were gone, Luke walked to the side, and looked at the water with a sad look on his face. "Let me be alone for a while." Luke said to everyone. "You know we won't do that Luke." Diaz said to Luke, walking up to stand next him. "He's right. I promised I'd watch you." Tear said to Luke. "I'm here too, Master." Mieu said to Luke.
"Leave me alone!" Luke said to everyone. "If I leave you alone, you're liable to start dreaming up nonsense." Tear said to Luke. "What do you mean "nonsense"?" Luke asked Tear.
"Like the idea that Guy hates you." Tear to Luke. "But he has to! That's why he…" Luke said to Tear, but was interrupted by Tear. "Are you stupid?" Tear asked Luke. "What did you say?!" Luke asked Tear.
"She said you're stupid for thinking that we all didn't hate you at some point. Your old personality wasn't exactly something people could get along with." Diaz said to Luke. "He's right. Do you think you've never done anything to make anyone dislike you at all?" Tear asked Luke.
"That's not what I…" Luke said to everyone, before going quiet. "Guy is only human. I'm sure there have been times you made him angry. But he came back for you." Tear said to Luke.
"Yeah, he was your servant for a while, and you were a brat, so I'm sure you gave Guy enough headaches that the thought of killing you came up more than once. But you're not the same man you were a couple months ago, you changed, and I'm sure Guy knows it." Diaz said to Luke.
"Well, maybe so, but…" Luke said to everyone. "So, there was a time when Guy hated you so much he wanted to kill you. But he still believed in you, that you'd recover from Akzeriuth. Right?" Tear asked Luke.
"Yeah, he may have a problem with you, but that can be said for everyone in our group. But things have changed, and everyone knows that." Diaz said to Luke.
"You two sure don't pull any punches when you talk to people." Luke said to everyone. "What?" Tear asked Luke. "I know you two were trying to make me feel better, but you two only made it hurt worse." Luke said to everyone. "I-I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking." Tear said to Luke.
"Maybe it's a good thing to have someone slap some sense into me." Luke said to everyone. "Luke." Tear said to Luke. "I'm so stupid. I don't have time to feel depressed, we have to see the Emperor." Luke said to everyone.
"You're right Luke. You and Guy can work out the problem later, for now let's go see the Emperor." Diaz said to Luke, before they went to find Frings.
After finding Frings, Frings lead everyone to a massive water theme throne room, with waterfalls flowing outside the window. When they arrived, they found Jade talking to a man in his mid thirties.
This man had tan skin, long blond hair, blue eyes, wearing baggy long sleeve blue shirt, with a a white short sleeve shirt over it that had some fabric that went down past his waste, baggy blue pants with gold lines criss crossing, sandals, and some blue fabric wrapped around his waist that went down past his knees, but didn't cover the front of his legs.
On the men's right was a 3 foot tall, black pig, with pink hooves, long ears that looked like hair that covered it's left eye, with the other ear on the right side of it's head, a spiral tail with the tip of the tell looking like a pink bloom tulip, a pink triangle snooze, pink eyes with yellow eye liner.
On the men's left was another pig, but was brown, with its head was a tan color, it's hooves where dark pink, a light pink triangle snooze, light pink eyes with a different yellow eye liner, a spiral tail that ended with three filament of a flower with the tips being dark pink, it's ears had a brown tip, with the right ear being longer and covering the right side of it's head, while the left ear reached a little over the left eyes.
And in the man's lap was a small round black pig with stubby legs with small pink hooves, a small spiral tail, a large pink triangle snooze, a brown face, short ears that end with brown tips, and a yellow eye liner.
And in the corners in front of the man and Pokemon were two old men, one was in a general outfit, and the other in an adviser outfit.
"So that's he's the Emperor. He's not what I was expecting. I was thinking more of an imposing man. Not a relaxed man with a Lechonk, and a male and female Oinkologne." Diaz said to everyone.
"You mean those two Pokemon are the same Pokemon?" Luke asked Diaz. "Yes, the black one is a male, and the brown one is a female. Here." Daiz said to Luke, as he pulled out his Rotom Phone.

"Ah I see everyone has made it." Jade said to everyone, as they noticed everyone, and Diaz put his Rotom Phone away. "Everyone allow me the honor of intruding Emperor Peony Upala Malkuth IX." Jade said to everyone.
"Ah, you must be the little devils dragging my Jade all over the place and keeping him away from home." Peony said to everyone. "What?" Luke asked Peony. "I guess Jade told you about us?" Diaz asked Peony.
"Yes he did. I must admit, you, your brother, and Luke are an interesting trio. I would say the same for Jude, but then he goes and gets hit with a fon slot seal. This clod can be a real pain, huh?" Peony asked Diaz.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Diaz asked Peony, sounding a bit hesitant. "Your Majesty, must you confuse our guests?" Jade asked Peony.
(Yes Peony, from what Jade said, we must take things seriously.) The female Oinkologne said to Peony. (Relax my wife Diva, Peony knows what he's doing.) The male Oinkologne said to the female Oinkologne.
(Sorry Clyde. I just don't want our baby Lechonk, Goofy, to think that Peony's personality is acceptable in times of danger.) Diva said to the male Oinkologne, Clyde. (What's wrong with it, I think Peony is cool.) Goofy said to Diva. (See.) Diva said to Clyde.
"Hah hah, sorry. Yeah, I guess we should get down to business." Peony said to everyone, as he picked up Goofy. "Sorry Goofy, but I need you to stay on the floor for a bit." Peony said to Goofy, as he put Goofy on the floor.
"Now onto serious things. Jade's basically explained everything to me." Peony said to everyone. "As things stand now, there is a danger that St. Binah could fall into the Qliphoth." Luke said to Peony.
"So it seems. In fact, I've already been informed that the land around St. Binah has begun sagging." Peony said to everyone. "Then we must evacuate the residents!" Natalia said to Peony. "I'd love to. But a lot of the council members are reluctant." Peony said to Natalia.
"Why? Their countrymen are in danger." Natalia asked Peony. "Because of the military threat from Kimlasca." Jade said to Natalia. "Isn't that right Nordheim?" Jade asked the old man in the general outfit.
"The Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear issued a proclamation. Sesemann." Nordheim said to Jade, before looking at the other old man.
"We hereby denounce Malkuth's destruction of Akzeriuth in order to bring about the death of Princess Natalia and the tertiary heir to the throne, Luke fon Fabre. In the name of Lorelei and Yulia, we shall initiate immediate sanctions." Sesemann said to everyone.
"For all practical purposes, that's a declaration of war." Tear said to everyone. "My father is mistaken!" Natalia said to everyone. "Or is he Princess Natalia? We believe that Kimlasca may have destroyed Akzeriuth to create an excuse for war." Nordheim said to Natalia.
"My country would never commit such a despicable act!" Natalia said to Nordheim. "She's right. The enemy isn't Kimlasca, it's the order of Lorelei. They knew what was going to happen to Akzeriuth, and they let it happen to start this war." Diaz said to everyone.
"But the Order of Lorelei have always helped us, why would they do something like this?" Nordheim asked Diaz.
"Because the Score says that for unprecedented prosperity to come to this world, you all have to lose the coming war. They've been playing you all. And because the score says that St Binah will be fine, they're ignoring the danger that's coming to St. Binah." Diaz said to everyone.
"But the problem is that the council believes that the sinking of St. Binah is Kimlasca's work." Peony said to everyone. "So they think that any forces sent to rescue the citizens will be wiped out along with the city." Tear said to Peony.
"Exactly." Peony said to Tear. "Until we heard Jade's story, we'd thought Kimlasca had developed a fontech weapon capable of creating a hyperresonance." Peony said to everyone.
"Even if they did. St. Binah is still going to fall. How can NOT rescuing them possibly be better? I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, Your Majesty. If it's impossible to send troops, then please let us go." Luke said to Peony.
"Allow me to make the same request. If something happens, at least Malkuth forces won't be caught in it." Natalia said to Peony. "I'm surprised. Why are Royalty like yourselves so intent on helping an enemy country?" Peony asked Natalia.
"We're not enemies! Our citizens travel between our countries as if it were perfectly normal. And it's my duty as one born into the royal family to aid those in need." Natalia said to Peony.
"I am a criminal to Malkuth. I am to blame for what's happening. I want to do anything I can. That's why I took this driver, and is willing to be a devil. I want to save everyone!" Luke said to Peony.
"Well, you heard them, what do you think, Sesemann? Your dear apprentice, jade, also says we can trust these guys regarding St. Binah." Peony said to Sesemann. "Your Majesty, it's not polite to refer to them as "these guys"." Sesemann said to Peony.
"If I may make a suggestion, perhaps Luke and my unit could evacuate St. Binah, While General Nordheim contains the northward moving Kimlascan army." Jade said to everyone. "Are you giving a general orders? Well, I suppose it will work. We'll try to gain the council's approval." Sesemann said to Jade.
"Thanks, man. I owe you one." Peony said to Sesemann. "Then, you won't abandon St. Binah?" Luke asked Peony. "Of course not. Though you all are the ones who 're going to save it." Peony said to Luke, as he stood up. "They're my dearest people. And from what I've heard, I'm sure you all can save my people." Peony said to everyone, as he walked to them.
"I'll do everything in my power." Luke said to Peony. (You can count on me for carrying as many people out as fast as I can.) Dahy said to Peony.
"As will I." Natalia said to Peony. (We'll do our best to help.) Plata said to Peony.
"Me well." Zaid said to Peony. (Me two.) Selim said to Peony.
"He means you can count on us to help." Qadira said to Peony. (My hammer is at your service.) Babila said to Peony.
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Tear said to Peony. (We'll save your people.) Liran said to Peony.
"We won't leave anyone to suffer the same fate as the people in Akzeriuth." Diaz said to Peony. (And that's a guarantee.) Miles said to Peony. "I have to summon the council now. I'll let you handle the rest, Jade." Peony said to Jade.
After that everyone left the throne room, and once they were in the halls, Jade let out a sigh. "Evacuating an entire city is not an easy task, you know." Jade said to everyone, looking at Luke.
"What should we do, exactly?" Luke asked Jade. "As His Majesty said, the military won't enter the city for fear of it becoming another Akzeriuth. We'll enter St. Binah first and get help from former field Marshal McGovern." Jade said to everyone.
"Before that, we have to check on Guy before we go, maybe he's all good, and everyone else can join us." Diaz said to everyone, before they left to find the rest of the group.
After walking around, they found the room Guy, Ion, Whina, Anise, and their Pokemon were in. "Hey guys. Good news, Guy's all better." Whina said to everyone, as she noticed everyone walking in, before everyone else.
"Guy, I'm sorry." Luke said to Guy. "Luke?" Guy asked Luke, a little confused. "I… I must have done something to make you suffer. That's why you…" Luke said to Guy, but was interrupted by Guy giggling a little.
"What the heck are you talking about? It's not your fault, Luke." Guy said to Luke, before crossing his legs and lowering his head into his knuckles, looking serious.
"It's not your fault that I hate you so much I wanted to kill you." Guy said to Luke, confusing everyone. "What are you talking about?" Diaz asked Guy. "I'm originally from Malkuth." Guy said to everyone. "What? Really?" Anise asked Guy.
"I was born in Hod. On my fifth birthday, my relatives gathered at the mansion. Just as the Scorer started to read my Score, the war began." Guy said to everyone. "The Hod War." Tear said to everyone.
"If I recall, it was Duke Fabre who attacked Hod." Natalia said to Guy. "Yes. Duke Fabre killed my family, my relatives, our servants. Everyone. He destroyed everything I loved and laughed as he did it. So I set out to make him experience the same thing I did." Guy said to everyone, sounding very serious.
"You entered House Fabre for revenge, then? Gailardia Galan, of the house of Count Gardios" Jade said to Guy, susping Whina. "GAILARDIA GALAN! Is that really your name?!" Whina asked Guy.
"Yep, that's my name. But how did you know Jade?" Guy said to Whina and asked Jade. "I noticed a few things, so I investigated. You fight in the Albert Style, a technique that doesn't use a shield. it 's unique to Hod." Jade said to Guy.
"That also explains why you looked familiar. You probably don't remember anyone like me. But I remember you." Whina said to Guy. "What are you talking about?" Guy asked Whina.
"Guy, I'm from Hod as well, my family were fishermen when the war started. Before Hod's destruction, we tried to escape on our boat, but we got caught up in its destruction. I don't know how I survived the boat being destroyed. All I really remember is waking up in a healer's tent with Grand Maestro Daisuke, Mohs predecessor, treating my injuries. Being an orphan, Daisuke took me into the order, and taught me everything he knew. But then he passed away right before I started to work for Ion." Whina said to everyone.
"It's rare to actually meet someone else from Hop. I'm glad to have met you." Guy said to Whina.
"Guy, I have to ask. You can't really want to be by my side, can you, Guy? I may be a replica, but I'm still a Fabre." Luke asked Guy. "Come on. I mean, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any lingering feelings about it, but…" Guy said to Luke, before going quiet.
"But?" Luke asked Guy, curious as to why. "If you want me gone, then I'll cut ties with you right now. But if not, could I stick around a little longer? There's still something I want to confirm." Guy said to Luke. "Okay. I trust you. No… I should say… Trust me, Guy, Please." Luke said to Guy.
"Hah hah. Either way works for me." Guy said to Luke. "Thank goodness. I was so worried you might start fighting." Ion said to Guy. "Well, now that's all settled nicely, how about we head for St. Binah?" Jade asked everyone.
"We're going to St. Binah?" Whina asked everyone. "Malkuth is scared that what happened to Akzeriuth is a Kimlascan weapon, so they're resilient about sending their troops to help. So the job falls to us. Our mission from the Emperor is to save the people of St Binah, while his soldiers make sure the Kimlascan army stays out of our way." Diaz said to everyone.
"Sorry, but Ion is drained from healing the curse slot. He'll stay here with me." Anise said to everyone. "Sorry Anise, but I think it would be safer if we go with everyone. If the Order tries something to get their hands on Ion, I rather have us be with Diaz, Luke, and Zaid, then just you alone." Whina said to Anise.
"Hey!" Anise said to Whina, sounding insulted. "She right Anise. Besides, I'm fine. And if I go with them. I may be able to help." Ion said to Anise. "Ion?!" Anise said to Ion, the sound of complaining in her voice.
"Anise. Everyone, please take me along. Please." Ion asked everyone. "If Master Van's after Ion then he's in danger no matter where he is." Luke said to everyone. "Are you saying he'd be better off where we can keep an eye on him?" Jade asked Luke.
"Considering Ion got kidnapped in Baticul, and that is just as fortified there as here, him coming with us is probably the best way to keep him out of our enemies hands. Plus so far only Zaid and myself have been able to handle the God Generals, and maybe Luke now that he's a rider." Diaz said to jade.
"What about us? We help!" Anise asked Diaz. "Yes, but it's still me and Zaid doing most of the work, with Luke now able to be a bigger help than before." Diaz said to Anise.
"Rude." Anise said to everyone. "He's not wrong. We kinda are supporters in most of their fights or just trying to get killed while they take care of the problem." Whina said to Anise.
"Not helping Whina." Anise said to Whina. "In any case Ion can still be of some help in the evacuation. His rep will help make people understand the severity of the evacuation, as well as help keep the people calm as we get them out." Qadira said to everyone.
"I suppose we have no choice." Jade said to everyone. "No, not really." Diaz said to Jade. "Oooh! Not again, Ion!" Anise said to Ion, still complaining.
"Suck it up Anise, we're all going. And we're going, NOW!" Diaz said to everyone, before leading everyone out of the room, then the city.
Once everyone was out of the city, Diaz, Luke, Zaid, and Jade got onto Miles, Dahy, Selim, and Braiden's backs.
While Whina switched Inesa with Divyam,Tear switch Liran with Sivan, Natalia switched Plata with Fiamma, Qadira switched Babila with Keyon, Guy switched Lokej with Chedi, Anise switch Fie with Anzan, and Ion switched Jataayu with Vishesh.
Once they finished switching their Pokemon out, they all hopped onto their Pokemon backs, and everyone rode off to save St. Binah.
TWISTED REALM.
Meanwhile in the Twisted Realm, The cloak figure and Eshu were looking at the board, and watching as the gang pieces moved towards St. Binah. "Do you think they'll save St. Binah in time?" Eshu asked the cloak figure.
"I have no doubt that they'll be able to save the people of St. Binah. But I'm more interested to see if they can save the whole of St. Binah from the abyss. Because if they do, they'll find the first of many little… surprises, I've hidden in their drivers." The cloak figure said to Eshu.
