Okay, everybody! It's time we draw this story to a close and fight the boss!

Chapter 5: Operation: DEATH-EGG

Golden Death Egg Fleet

Lasers and gunfire continued to sound as the great space battle above Earth's atmosphere continued. At this time, a large ship shaped like a Z was flying into the zone. The ship had 5 cockpits, which each of the Sector Z members were flying. "Okay, team: split up and take out those floating gold mines!" Bruce ordered.

"How? They're solid gold!" Ashley yelled. "Not a very easy material to vaporize!"

"Not exactly." Lenny replied. "I'm detecting small thermal exhaust ports that lead to the ships' cores."

"How original." Ogie said, sarcastically.

"Well, we've got something to work with at least." Bruce replied. "Split up and take out those cores!" With that, the Z-Ship separated into five parts that the individual members flew with on their own.

Eggman's Control Death Egg

"OH ho ho ho ho!" Eggman laughed as he sat in a large red chamber inside his Control Death Egg. "Ah, my Solid Gold Death Egg Fleet is a success! And never have I seen a plan so original in ANY sort of medium!"

"Uh, actually, Doctor…" Bokkun spoke, "it has been done before."

"Huh?"

"In the Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score." Decoe replied. "Those Scammers created a Solid Gold Death Star Fleet."

"It was pretty strong." Bocoe followed.

"Well, uh, this is different! This is a Solid Gold DEATH EGG Fleet!"

"It's not THAT different." Decoe replied. "They're both gigantic floating golden balls with obvious weak points."

"And speaking of obvious weak points," Orbot spoke up, "look, Doctor." Eggman looked at the small screen to see the Sector Z operatives trying to shoot into the Death Eggs' thermal exhaust ports.

"Grrr. Trying to stop ME, are they? Well, I'll have them taken care of soon enough!" With that, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Outside

At this time, Bane's ship was flying through the armada, trying to shoot down KND troops as Danika's communicator rang. She answered it as The Brain spoke. "I have received a call from Eggman. He desires aid in combatting the KND."

"Whatever." Dani replied, hanging up. "Alright, Bane, take out those guys." She pointed at the Sector Z ops.

"My pleasure."

At this time, Ashley was trying to fire lasers into a Death Egg's exhaust port, which wasn't easy, seeing as they had to dodge lasers and missiles. "Man, I don't remember it being this hard in Star Wars."

It was then that the Death Egg fired several missiles that began chasing her. "Ashley, watch out!" David screamed. "Those are Copperhead missiles! They're deadly!"

"Oh, I think I figured that out!" Ashley exclaimed as she tried to fly away from the pursuing projectiles. David followed the missiles and tried shooting them, but after firing about 20 or so shots, he could only destroy one missile.

"Man, these are strong."

"Wait! I have an idea." With that, Ashley sped forward, followed by the Copperheads, towards the thermal exhaust port. Once she was right at the small hole, she made a quick turn down, and one of the missiles flew into the hole and to the core. "GET BACK!" Ashley yelled to David as they flew away from the Death Egg. In just a few more seconds, the Death Egg vanished in a brightening explosion. "Bad guys really need to do better with protecting their weak spots."

"Great going, Ash!" David cheered.

"Yeah. Think you can do that for the rest of them?" Lenny asked, indicating the hundreds more Death Eggs.

"Well, it's worth a shot." Bruce said. "At least until Violet and the others take out the leader. Let's do it—AHH!" They were suddenly hit by other laser fire.

"Not if we have something to say about it." Danika said as Bane's ship attacked them.

"Let's see your precious 2x4 technology handle this!" Bane declared as he fired more, doing damage to Bruce's ship.

"Ugh! We can't go one day without bounty hunters lately."

"This will teach you what happens when you brats steal Bane's hat. Say good-bye. OOF!" Bane's ship was suddenly hit by something as well.

"Are you guys gonna hog ALL the fun?" called a rather familiar female voice.

"Is that…" Bane began as he noticed an incoming dark-purple heart ship.

"That voice…" Nolan grit his teeth in recognition.

"We were just coming to visit Numbuh One," Ava said, "but it seems you all are in the middle of something. Mind if we lend a hand?"

"I don't think they will!" Kweeb exclaimed, standing on Ava's lap.

"Hey, Cad Bane! How's Aurra doing? Still a psycho?" Ava remarked.

"You didn't leave her on very good terms." Bane reminded. "Shall I attack them?"

"Leave that to me!" Nolan declared, putting on a space helmet. "Move aside!" Danika stepped back as Nolan rolled over to the ship's door and pulled it open. Once he had a clear view of Ava's ship, he started targeting and firing missiles at her. "This'll teach you to trick me!"

"What's his problem?" Kweeb asked.

Ava sighed. "I don't know, but I don't have time for this!" With that, she pulled the brake, making Bane's ship go ahead, then she chased after and started firing lasers.

"Whoa!" Nolan screamed, falling over the edge. Dani put on her helmet and ran to grab and hold him up.

"Eat this!" Ava exclaimed, firing a missile and hitting the ship's engine, making it spiral uncontrollably.

"Seriously, it's always with the spiraling crashing spaceships, isn't it?" Bane asked.

"Come on, let's get in the pods!" Danika yelled, and with that, the three villains gathered into three escape pods and shot away from the ship.

"Well, they're taken care of." Ava said. "Now, let's take out these space stations. Ready, Kweeb?"

"You bet!" With that, the Kateenian jumped down into his Microcraft and shot out of the ship.

"This'll set off some fireworks!" Ava exclaimed, stopping her ship right in front of an exhaust port, aiming her missile and firing it inside, then escaping before the Death Egg exploded. Kweeb swiftly eluded enemy fire as he flew into another exhaust port. When he reached its core, he fired a time bomb that latched onto it and flew out just before the whole thing exploded.

"Where are Numbuh One and the others?" Ava asked Bruce, passing by his ship.

"They're inside that big one. They're going to take out the core and destroy them all from inside."

"Sounds like they're on it, then. 'Guess we'll just take out the small ones."

Control Death Egg

"Alright, guys. Let's find that-" Nigel tried to say as they were running through the Control Death Egg, but they immediately stopped by several Voldemort, Palpatine, and Sentinel Clones.

"HEY, GUYS!" Cubot exclaimed as he came from behind the clones.

"Wait, weren't you one of the Tallests' robots?" Nigel queried.

"E-YEP! After the Tallest were defeated, we were bought by Eggman! Now we work for him, and it's FUUUN! Well, I'd love to chat more, but I have to destroy you! GET 'EM, CLONES!" With that, he pushed a remote, and the clones activated.

"Kids Next Door, stop them!"

A squadron of Palpatines drew their lightsabers and approached Abby. The closer one tried stabbing, but she ducked and punched the lightsaber out of its hand, grabbing it and using it to slice all the clones in half. She knocked the head off of one, and it fell to the ground as a hamster crawled out of the small compartment.

"So, THAT'S where the hamsters were." Abby noticed.

"Then let's help the rest!" Wally yelled (for Kuki's sake), pulling out his S.L.U.G.G.U.H..

"EXPELLIARMUS!" a Voldemort called, knocking Wally's weapon out of his hand with a spell. "Reducto!" it fired a spell that destroyed the weapon.

"Maaan, that's just not fair!" Wally whined.

Abby simply went behind the clone and stabbed it with her saber. She found one of the other sabers dropped by another Palpatine and threw it to Wally. "Just cut them." With that, she went to kill more clones.

"Orright then!" Wally perked, turning the saber on. He gave a battle cry as he charged to another Voldemort Clone, about to slice it when-

"REDUCIO!" It fired a spell and shrunk Wally to mouse size.

"Ah man!"

Five Sentinels were trying to shoot Violet with their large guns, but her catlike reflexes helped her evade as she tossed a shuriken to one's head and blew it up. Numbuh 3 happily dodged another clone's shots as she bounced her way to another one, jumping on Nigel's hands to fling her up to its head. Kuki got right in the clone's face as it randomly aimed its gun at the other one. That other one also aimed its gun at Kuki, and the happy Japanese girl jumped when both clones fired and blew each other's heads off.

As the fourth clone shot at Abby, the agile girl ran forward and dodged as she jumped her way up its body, stabbing her lightsaber in its eyes and making it wobble around until it fell and exploded. They then looked to see more Palpatines and Voldemorts approaching.

"How many does this guy HAVE?" Nigel asked.

"As many as there are crazy fans." Abby remarked.

"INCOMING!" At this, the clones turned their attention to another S.C.A.M.P.E.R. bursting in and running them over. The ship's doors shot open as Katie, Yin, and Yang jumped out. "Don't start this party without us!" Katie declared. She watched as the fifth Sentinel aimed its gun, so she screamed and unleashed her enormous Fear Blast, making the clone sparkle until its head exploded. She smirked and said, "Nothin' to-" but was silenced when Metal Sonic shot by and grabbed her by the neck.

"KATIE!" Nigel screamed, throwing a fire blast and pushing the hedgebot back. Eva then splashed water on him and froze the robot solid.

"Incendio!" another Voldemort yelled, shooting a fire that melted Metal out. Abby just ran up to the clone and sliced it in half, too.

After doing so, she picked up its wand, and noticed the shrunken Wally. "Numbuh 5 finds this hilarious, by the way."

"Just unshrink me!" Tiny Wally shouted.

"Okay, okay." Abby banged on the wand, and it fired a spell that restored Wally to normal. Abby then ripped the wand in half and noticed its wires. "Hey, these wands are mechanical, too!"

"You gotta admit, that's pretty ingenious." Hoagie commented.

"We could use some help here!" Yang yelled as Metal Sonic was strangling both twins. Violet charged forward and tackled the robot to the ground. She leaped off just in time for Abby to jump and try to stab it, but it barely did anything as Metal just kicked her off. Metal turned into Abby and started fighting her again. Nigel ran in to help, but Metal dodged his punches and kicks and knocked him away.

As the shape-shifting robot slowly approached the grounded Brit, Abby noticed a small weak spot in its back. She immediately drew out a S.C.A.M.P.P. and shot Metal, making him spark a little and grip his back. He turned and was about to charge at her, but Abby saw a hole in the front where she previously stabbed him, so she fired her S.C.A.M.P.P. a couple times before Metal was finally electrocuted. He began to randomly change forms before finally stopping at his normal form and falling to the ground, his eyes going out.

"Phew! Thanks!" Nigel thanked, getting up.

"No prob'!" Abby cheered.

Katie then looked curiously at Violet, whose cheeks were puffed as she was leaning a little. "Is something wrong?"

"Mmm…PLEAH!" She immediately spat out a hamster, which hightailed away.

"VIOLET!" Kuki yelled.

"What? I'm hungry!"

"What are we gonna do about these hamsters?" Abby asked.

"We'll take them back." Katie answered.

"You guys destroy the station's core-" Yang began.

"-and we shall deliver these hamsters safely back home." Yin finished.

"Alright, team, let's find Eggman." Nigel declared, and while Katie and the Twins gathered the hamsters, the others searched for Robotnik.

Eggman's Chamber

After a while of running through the base, the team had finally reached the Death Egg's core, which, for some odd reason, was red instead of gold. "So, you finally made it." (Play Eggman's Theme from Sonic Adventure 2.)

At the sound of the voice, the team looked to see Dr. Eggman sitting in a cockpit of some large machine, which seemed to sit on a towering pole that seemed to go down into an incredibly deep pit. Violet gulped at the sight of the seemingly bottomless pit. The machine before them was aligned with many floating platforms and several treadmills coming out. Between the kids and the machine was the pit, and there seemed to be no way of getting across to it. "Eggman!" Hoagie exclaimed.

"Boy, someone needs to visit the weight room." Violet wittingly stated.

"Welcome, my friends, to my glorious golden creation! Well, almost."

"So, this is the core." Nigel figured.

"Oh, it's much more than that, young man! This is the machine I used to make ALL those wonderful clones! But while it does that, it's also used to power my Solid Gold Death Egg!"

"So, it's used to make your clones AND it powers your fleet?" Hoagie asked.

"OH ho ho! Eggenious, isn't it? But that's beside the point. You're just in time to witness by ultimate plan: Operation: DEATH-EGG!"

"Operation: DEATH-EGG?" Eva questioned.

"Oh ho ho! Yes! My plan to conquer this world… BY SLICING IT IN HALF!" They all gasped horrifically. "You see, each Death Egg has its own super cannon. I will have all my Death Eggs circle around the Prime Meridian and fire their lasers, circling the world until its completely cut in half! Then, I will build a new Eggmanland on the Eastern Hemisphere! I was going to give the Western Hemisphere to Hoagie, but I suppose I'll just give it to Bowser or something."

"Wait… YOU know Bowser?" Hoagie asked.

"OF COURSE! He and I are very well acquainted. And together, we shall conquer this universe, and all shall feel the power that is Negatar Gnaa!"

"Negatar Gnaa?" Nigel asked.

"DOCTOR! YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY!" Bokkun shouted.

"AH! I said too much!"

"Who are you working for?!" Nigel demanded, readying his flames.

"D'OH! Well, it's not like you can defeat him, anyway! He's too powerful for any of you to overcome without the Eight Firstborn!"

"Eight Firstborn?" Eva asked, raising her brow.

"D'OH! Why can't I keep my big mouth shut?!"

"Wait!" Eva spoke. "Remember what Davy Jones said back in the Sea Temple? He said:"

"Ye shall ALL know his wrath!"

"Yeah… it sounded like Jones was working for somebody." Nigel replied. "And Bowser said he knew Jones, too! You think these events could all be related somehow?"

"I wouldn't doubt it." Rachel agreed.

"Grrr. That's it. You kids will finally see what happens when you defy-" Before Eggman could finish, his phone rang again. "WHAT IS IT?!"

"A-hyuck, a-hyuck. We're the hillbilly boys! We're callin' to say you're inventions are dumber than chicken noodle soup, a-hyuck, a-hyuck, a-hyuck!"

"YAAAH!" Eggman threw his phone into the pit in anger. "I'm TIRED of all this mockery! It's time to finally teach you a lesson!" With that, Eggman pressed a button, and the floor the kids were standing on sprung them over to the floating platforms. (Play "The Encounter" from Kingdom Hearts II!)

That's when the treadmills started moving, and several Voldemort and Palpatines came out and landed on the platforms, drawing their weapons. Some Sentinel Primes flew up from below and readied their guns as Eggman laughed. "Heh heh heh! I'll take care of you now! The perfect test for my egg! OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!"

Boss fight: Egg Replicon

A barrier surrounded Eggman's cockpit as the clones charged for the heroes. The operatives did their best to push the Voldemorts and Palpatines into the pit. "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" Eggman exclaimed, firing lasers at the platforms, the kids dodging. "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" he declared once again, firing more lasers. It was then that a Sentinel Clone approached and tried shooting them, but Kuki fired a F.R.A.P.P.E. and froze its face, making it wobble uncontrollably and bump into the machine before falling, making more platforms lower to the heroes. Violet drew her shurikens and threw them to the barrier, but they seemed to do nothing after they exploded. Afterwards, more clones came out of the machine.

Violet looked around for any weak points and saw Bokkun flying above, pushing some remote. "That robot's controlling the clones!"

"Get that remote!" Nigel ordered. Another Sentinel Clone came up, allowing Violet to run up, bounce off its head, and to the small robot.

"Hey! Get off of me!" he demanded, but Violet's heavier weight pulled them both down as Abby took the remote and pushed some buttons. The Sentinel Clone sparked before aiming and firing its gun at Eggman's barrier, successfully destroying it.

"GAH!" the scientist screamed when his rather wobbly cockpit shook from the impact, causing him to fall out and bounce down to the operatives, landing upside down. He grunted several times when Abby and Wally started beating on him.

Bokkun recovered and grabbed his remote, then the Palpatine Clones grabbed the operatives and threw them several feet away with their psychic. Eggman quickly recovered and ran back up to his cockpit, turning his barrier back on. "All systems: full power!" he exclaimed, pushing a button, and the team held on tight as the platforms rapidly spun around the machine, the scientist cackling madly. When the platforms finally stopped, the team recovered from their dizziness to dodge the giant hammers that emerged from the machine, pounding on individual platforms. The hammers retracted, and Eggman yelled, "Take this!" as some of the platforms dropped down below, but they hopped onto safe ones just in time.

Bokkun laughed up above as he controlled more clones, spawning out of the machine. Wally grabbed several Palpatines and threw them into the abyss while Eva used waterbending to cut the Voldemorts' heads off. As the platforms continued to slowly rotate around the machine, a Sentinel climbed up and stood in their path, smashing them as they came over. "Ha ha. It's no use. Give up." Eggman laughed as the kids were about to be mashed. Hoagie took out his Diffusion Rifle and shot the clone in the head a few times before its head was blown off.

As a result, the clone flung it arms up and hit Bokkun, making him drop to the footholds, and for Hoagie to grab his remote. He controlled the Voldemort Clones, which yelled, "REDUCTO!" and fired the spell at the barrier, destroying it and making Eggman bounce down once again.

"GYAH!" Eggman screamed when Violet started scratching his butt, followed by Abby, who kicked him in the nose. Bokkun grabbed his remote again and made the Palpatines shock the two girls, allowing Eggman to get back in his cockpit. "All systems: full power!" Eggman declared once again, making the platforms go around at super speeds. "Get ready to be skewered!" With that, several saws emerged from the small cracks in the machine and hovered only a few feet above the platforms, the operatives ducking close to the ground so as not to get sliced.

When the platforms stopped, the saws retracted. "GO!" Eggman ordered to Decoe and Bocoe, who jumped down to where they were. The two formed up to create their cannon, then started blowing up the platforms. Abby simply drew out her M.A.R.B.L.E.s and tossed them onto their platform, blowing it up and making them fall below. "How about this?!" Eggman exclaimed as the platforms began rapidly flipping, forcing the heroes to hold on tight. "Take this!" They dodged just before more lasers could hit them. At that instant, more Sentinels came up and started blasting them some more.

Eva used her bending to freeze one clone's face, making it shoot the second one's head, causing it to shoot the third one, then the fourth one, which then shot at the barrier, destroying it, but Eggman still remained in his cockpit.

"Shoot it!" Nigel commanded as they all fired their weapons at the cockpit.

"They're not getting away with this!"

"Think again!" Hoagie exclaimed as he aimed his Diffusion Rifle at the cockpit, charged, and fired a Powuh Shot straight at its stem.

"No way! I can't believe this!" Eggman cried as his controls began to malfunction.

"Now we got 'im!" Hoagie exclaimed.

"YEAH!"

"Not so fast! Get ready for THIS!" At his command, several large laser turrets opened at the top of the room, aimed at the lower platforms, and the kids dodged just before they were destroyed. "Take this!" Eggman yelled as they fired at the next set, the team hurrying up to the cockpit. When they finally made it to the highest set of platforms, the cockpit was still several feet higher. "Get ready to be skewered." Eggman declared as the lasers were charging for one final shot.

"JUUUMP!" Hoagie screamed, and the operatives jumped down into the pit just before the lasers could hit. (Stop the music.)

"HUH? N-NO!" Eggman screamed when the lasers directly hit the machine. In a few seconds, the entire contraption exploded.

The entire base began exploding as a result, as the gang continued to fall down into the bottomless pit. "WHAT'S YOUR PLAN NOW, HOAGIE?" Abby shouted.

"I DON'T KNOW! I WAS JUST FEELING GUTSY!"

"THAT'S NIGEL'S JOB!" Eva shouted.

"WE'RE GOING DOWN!" Violet screamed as they were reaching the bottom. At that instant, they were rescued by a C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. that flew by and caught them inside.

"Looks like we arrived just in time!" Yang exclaimed.

"Now, let's get out of here!" At Yin's command, they flew the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. straight down and out of the base.

From the outside, they watched as the Control Death Egg started emitting little explosions around its form before finally vanishing in a HUGE explosion that brightened the stars. All the other Death Eggs, which were about to laser the world in half, exploded shortly afterwards.

From the smoke of the lead Death Star, they could see Dr. Eggman and his henchmen fly out and begin falling fast to Earth. "THE EGGMAN IS BLASTING OFF AGAAAIN!"

On Earth

"GAAAH-THOH! OOMPH!" Eggman screamed as he and his henchmen finally crash-landed on Earth with a thud. "Oh… D'OH!" At that instant, they were crushed by a falling Sentinel Clone. "Ohhhhh…"

Hours later, the many operatives were cleaning up the broken clones as the 44 Twins were guiding Eggman and his robots over to a S.P.R.A.Y.S.H.I.P., their hands cuffed. "All right! We finally get a small cameo and some dialogue!" Pete said happily.

"I don't think we had an appearance in this series since GALACSIA! Best. Story. Ever." Peter replied. Soon, Eggman and his cronies were on the S.P.R.A.Y.S.H.I.P. as it began to take off.

"See ya later, RoBUTTnik!" Hoagie exclaimed.

"I haven't heard that one in a while." Decoe said.

"It's still pretty funny!" Bocoe replied.

"THIS WAS FUN! SEE YA LATER, GUYS!" Cubot screamed.

"Curse you, Kids Next Door! I'LL GET YOU!" And at Eggman's final words, the S.P.R.A.Y.S.H.I.P. took off for Arctic Base.

Once they were gone, Hoagie walked over to Abby, scratching his head nervously. "Listen, Abby… I'm sorry I didn't believe you about Eggman."

"Eh, don't worry about it, Hoagie. You were only trying to help us."

"But now I think I ended up making things worse. Dr. Eggman was working with Bowser, and there's probably others! I let him see my inventions—what if he sent the blueprints to his allies? They'll know ALL our secrets, I could've doomed us all!"

"SHUT IT, FOOL!" Abby smacked him with her hat. "It's all Numbuh One's fault for puttin' those thoughts in your head. Hoagie… it's not a matter of whether your inventions are good enough for what's to come or not. What matters is if you're ready. It's true, we're probably going into some tough battles ahead, but when that time comes, who's going to build us weapons? Not Wally, that's for sure! That's why we need you to keep trying. Don't worry if they're not strong enough, because as long as you put heart into what you make, then we'll survive. And in case ya weren't listening, I think yo' 2x4 is good enough already."

Hoagie smiled. "You're right, Abby. In that case… those bad guys BETTER watch out! Once they get a taste of Hoagie, they'll be begging me to stop! Which is funny, because Hoagies are delicious."

"That's just lame, man. I'd rather be tastin' some ice cream right now."

"Count me in!" With that, the two walked off for a well-deserved dessert.

Nigel smiled at them as they left, and Rachel stood beside him as well. "Well, another happy ending for everyone." Nigel said.

"Well, not exactly everyone, but we did save the world once again." Rachel shrugged.

"But no telling for how long. All these events lately are definitely related to each other. And they seem to tie around this 'Negatar Gnaa' character."

"Negatar Gnaa… I feel like I heard that before somewhere."

"Me, too. I don't know who he is, but he doesn't sound like a walk in the park."

"I'll alert all my operatives to be aware of him, and to beam us any information they may find about him." Rachel decided. "I haven't heard from Sector W in days. I wonder if… something bad happened?"

Plank's Lair

"ATTENTION, MY BROTHERS!" Plank exclaimed, calling the attention of his army of wooden boards. "Our time for conqueration is nigh! The world will soon know the might of our wooden minds!"

"YEEAAAHHH!"

"We will lay siege upon the Brotherhood of Evil and take all the intelligence potion they have! Once our glorious army of boards is up to full power, we will go out and find the Eight Firstborn on our own! With their ultimate power, this world will kneel before the wooden regime!"

"YEEAAAHH!"

"Come, my brothers: our path to domination begins!"

KND Arctic Prison

Eggman was calmly escorted to his own cell. He glanced left and right, seeing villains like Soccer Mom, the Proper Patrol, along with Pottymouth and Toiletnator (the latter was jealous because Pottymouth had a more secure cell). Dr. Eggman was soon locked in one of his own. "Heheh… Eggcellent." He smirked. "They brought me right where I wanted to be."

"OOOO!" He whipped around with a start at this sudden scream: Gramma Stuffum was with him. "Who is this very skinny, handsome man?! Let Gramma Stuffum stuff him with clam egg chowder!" She walked up to him with a pot.

"W-Wait! I just had lunch! GUUUOOOOHHHH!"

Mt. Gnaa

"My Lord… I have recruited those poisonbenders as you requested." Ganondorf reported. "But may I ask, what worth do they hold?"

"I wish to build an army of benders. I wish to challenge the gods in the same manner my distant predecessor has. The benders themselves do not have vital importance to my plans… but the more beings I can corrupt with my darkness, the better."

"Heh heh heh. More minions are a fine thing. Well, if you need nothing else, I believe I will take them on a rescue mission." Transmission ended.

Lord Gnaa was left alone in his well. The darkness screamed with voices of his past.

"This boy is a demon." The monks spoke. "Arceus did not create the Negatar intentionally. He was not meant to exist."

"What they say is true." Negatar Ukor told him. "We are a scourge to the universe, Child. Since the very beginning, the Negatar has brought nothing but hatred. You may seek friendship, but you will never find it. There is only Darkness, and others that follow Darkness."

"Oh, my, it seems some kids tried to kill Gnaa today." Monk Ostayg said. "Shame they didn't succeed. His shadow went and killed them, so I burned the Arrows of Shame over him. Hoo! You should've seen the way he screamed!"

"All that exists… is darkness and hatred…" Gnaa spoke to himself; the arrows on his body glimmered. "It is the same everywhere. Even with you…" The image of the innocent psychic girl appeared in his mind. "Do not worry… I will make this universe a better place for us. The followers of Light who have dared to shun us will suffer. I promise that…"

Bonus: A New Friendship

The day was warm and sunny at the Cleveland Beach as the alien kids, Ava and Kweeb, lied down on the tan, warm sand. Ava wore a purple bikini while her tiny, inch-tall friend wore red swim trunks, the sun feeling extra hot because of his size.

"Ahhh. Great day today, huh, Kweeb?" Ava sighed, spreading sunscreen across her body. "Nothing like kicking back and relaxing, letting the sun warm up your skin."

"Uh… yeah. Hehe." Kweeb replied, sheepishly. Seeing her in a purple bikini, from his view, made his yellow cheeks grow very red.

"I personally prefer Aquaria more, but this planet's beaches aren't half bad." She said, laying back on the sand and resting her head on her hands.

"Heh, yeah, they aren't." Kweeb smiled, looking around. "The only time I was here was when the Irkens attacked. Without all the war and stuff, this place is pretty. I'm gonna have a walk around." The tiny alien decided as he walked off.

"Okay! Just don't get eaten!" Ava called.

At this time, Kami Drilovsky, who was wearing a black two-piece with orange peace signs and smiley faces, was walking along the beach, curiosity on the blonde's face. "I thought I saw a ship land around somewhere. It didn't look like one of ours…"

Kweeb kept his vibrant smile as he observed his surroundings, the beach nearly as vast as a desert to his size. "Boy, this place is like a better Secco!" he said excitedly. "Those big birds are kinda scary, though. I wonder if—OAF!" Kweeb fell on his rear when a massive foot suddenly stepped beside him. He looked up and glared as a giant blond girl walked by casually. "Hey, watch where you step, you big oaf!"

Kami turned around at the sound of the voice, but saw no one. "Huh?"

"KWEEEB, have you seen my-" Kami turned back around, and was surprised to see a raven-haired girl with big ears and white skin. Ava stopped, also surprised at the sight of the blond girl.

"Ah, Ava, perfect timing!" Kami looked down, seeing a tiny, yellow skinned creature walk between her legs, approaching the white-skinned girl. "Could you please tell this big-footed blondo to watch where she steps, seeing as some people are trying to survive in this world of giants?"

Big-footed blondo? Kami looked disbelieved. She focused her attention on the white girl. "Hold on… what's with the big ears? Is that some kinda costume?"

"Nooo, it's natural appearance." Ava said, touching the tips of her ears. "I'm a little shocked at your little ears."

"Hey, THESE are natural appearance. I mean, like, EVERYONE has them. At least, I thought…" However, Kami looked down at the tiny alien, and then at the big-eared alien. "Wait… you're ALIENS!"

"Waaait… you're a HUMAN!" Ava exclaimed sarcastically.

"Ha ha! Sorry!" Kami smiled. "I just… wow! I mean, how often do you see an ALIEN?"

"Eh. About everyday or so. Like right now." Ava stated.

"Heheh! I mean… real aliens? Are you sure you're not messing with me? Why're aliens relaxing on a beach?"

"Hey, don't we get to relax, too?" Ava remarked.

"Yeah! I mean, make room for us little guys, at least."

Kami chuckled and smirked. "Will do, Shorty. Anyway, my name's Kami."

"I'm Ava." Ava smiled. "From Planet Glomour!"

"And the shrimp?" she looked uninterestingly at Kweeb.

"SHRIMP?" Kweeb yelled.

"Hm-hm, he's Kweeb. My boyfriend."

"'Boyfriend'?" Kami looked more unimpressed. "Isn't he a little on the small side?"

"SMALL?!" Kweeb exclaimed, growing angrier as he stomped over. "We'll see who's small after I wipe the floor with you! HAAAAH-" Kweeb charged forth, and, with all his might, dealt a mighty punch against Kami's toe.

Kami stared down at him unimpressed and unfazed, barely feeling his tiny fist against her bare toe.

Kweeb began dealing a series of punches on Kami's toe, but his tiny attacks did nothing against the thick skin of her toe. He stopped for a moment to try and catch his breath. Right then, he looked up as Kami raised her massive foot above him, grains of sand dripping down as her gigantic sole came down and squished him under the sand.

"Hmm. You were soooo tough." Kami stated, even more unimpressed. Ava giggled as Kami raised her foot and spotted the alien squished face-first against the sole of her foot. She gripped him in her fingers and peeled him off like a sticker.

Kweeb spat out sand and replied, "Okay, you caught me off guard, but I guarantee I'm stronger than I look!"

"Sure you are." She smirked, dropping him on the ground. "Anyway, you guys are aliens. So do you have powers? Do you like, beam things to your ship or probe them or whatever?"

"Uhh! That's a negative stereotype!" Ava snapped back, looking offended. "Just because we're aliens we AUTOMATICALLY gotta have magical powers!"

"Well how am I supposed to know alien customs?"

"It should be basic GRADE school knowledge, Genius!"

"We don't HAVE aliens in our textbooks!"

"Well, I guess your society is IGNORANT then."

Immediately, the two girls burst into laughter.

"But honestly, I never thought my first convo with an alien would be so… casual."

"Well, we're not really so different from you humans." Ava smirked. "Except for your oddly-misshapen ears."

"And your gigantuan size." Kweeb stated.

"Hey, we humans need to stay big to step on things." Kami smirked cockily.

"Well WE gotta stay tiny to recognize egotistic BLONDies!"

"That's not gonna help you on the soccer field, Shortstuff."

"I'll like to see you sneak under someone's nose, Bigbutt."

"Pssh, I challenge you to VIDEOGAMES later, Peasize."

"You're on! I may be small, but I'm a REAL game wizard!"

"All right, you guys, calm down." Ava laughed. "Granted, Kweeb is a pretty tough guy. But he should be more careful who he picks fights with."

"Yeah, he KNOOOWS I can squish him like an ant. Like I just did." Kami smirked.

"Ohohoho I cannot WAIT to teach you a thing or two!" Kweeb yelled.

"Hey, Kami, where'd you run off to?"

Kami glared behind her. "Uugh. Stupid brother. Sigh, I guess I should go now. Can I meet up with you later? I wanna hear what you do!"

"Sure!" Ava complied. "I can teach you how we use swords!"

"And teach you the ways of tiny-person videogaming." Kweeb winked.

Kami smirked. "I'll hold you both to that. Take care now! Big ears." Kami waved and walked away.

"Any time, round ears." Ava waved back, and began to walk to their spot with Kweeb on her shoulder.

"…I like her." Ava said simply.

"I don't." Kweeb frowned.

"Kweeb."

"Okay, I do." Kweeb laughed.

"You two have a special bond goin'. Don't start seeing each other."

"Huh?" Kweeb blushed. "W-Whaddyou mean?"

Ava giggled. "Oh, I'm kidding. You're too small, anyway."

"Hahaha! Oh!" Kweeb laughed. He then realized what she said and frowned angrily, "Hey!"
