Part 1
(In the Red Mountain Zone, Drakath the Lion, the leader of the Fire Clan, can be seen looking out towards the valley. The second-in-command, Enshoku the Wolf, is standing next to him.)

Enshoku: ....sir?

Drakath: Do you sense that, Enshoku? That change in the air?

Enshoku: Change?

Drakath: Something is wrong...

Enshoku: .........

(In the Southern Tundra, Tunndrae the Fox, the Ice Clan's leader, is walking around...)

Tunndrae: This isn't right.....why can't I sense Kyanos' presence?

(She stops and looks around, feeling that she is being watched.)

Tunndrae: (She unsheathes a dagger made of ice) Who's there?

[SFX: *twig snapping*]

Tunndrae: (Whips around towards the noise) !!

???: Well hello there, my lovely lady.

(Tunndrae whips around again, confronting Toxic!)

Tunndrae: Who are you?!

Toxic: The name's Toxic. (walks over to Tunndrae and puts an arm around her) What's yours, pretty girl?

Tunndrae: (Pushes Toxic away) I am Tunndrae, the leader of the Ice Clan. My people serve Kyanos, the Elemental God of Ice.

Toxic: Well, that's nice. Hey, I happen to know about Kyanos...

(Tunndrae immediately grabs him by his throat.)

Tunndrae: You know what's happened to Kyanos, don't you?!

Toxic: Hey, take it easy, foxy! I said I knew about him, not met him personally!

(Tunndrae ponders this, then throws Toxic away from her. Toxic gets up, dusting snow from his fur.)

Toxic: A bit "icy", aren't we?

Tunndrae: Hmph. I don't have time to deal with you. (she walks off)

Toxic: H-hey, wait! (runs after her)

(Meanwhile...in a Glacian War Planning Tower..)

[Cameron has his hand to his snout, wondering what to do about the Elemental Wars.]

Black Ops Crow: "Sir?"

Cameron: ....

Black Ops Crow: "Sir? SIR!"

Cameron: "I'm trying to think damn it! Who's side should we take, this is troubling...I guess we'll remain neutral!"

[News of the Glacian Nation remaining Neutral spreads throughout the Region.]

(Meanwhile with Johnny, he is visiting Fow Toth Town to watch a baseball game in the Fow Toth Baseball Stadium)

Johnny: Nothing like visiting a good ballpark game. [watches the two teams play on a large baseball field]

(Johnny watches the game as he sits on a seat. So far, the game has already started. Back with Tunndrae and Toxic...)

Tunndrae: Why are you following me?

Toxic: Well, I thought that maybe I could help you find Kyanos...

Tunndrae: Hmm....

???: "I wouldn't trust him if I were you..."

Tunndrae: ?! (turns towards the sound)

[It was a Wolf (Mickey), he's wearing leather armor.]

Toxic: *thinking* F***...

Tunndrae: Who're you now?

???: "My name's Mike, most people call me Mickey, Even though Cameron declared Neutrality, I'm on your side! That guy's a Troll and he serves a Demon King that tried enslaving The Elemental Gods!"

(Tunndrae turns to Toxic, a look of unmistakable fury in her eyes. Toxic grins sheepishly.)

Tunndrae: You wretch! (she has the blade of her dagger pointed at Toxic's throat)

Mickey: "I have you covered, go for his Crotch."

[Mickey chuckles as some of the crowd-like Arctic Pokemon pulls in.]

Mickey: "Oi! This is G.N.P.R Business!"

Tunndrae: (Stabs Toxic in the crotch)

Toxic: AAIIIYYEEEEEEH!!

Mickey: "Hey? Can I have a turn?"

Tunndrae: Sure.

Mickey: "Eheheh..."

[Mickey pulls out his M120 Jackhammer Shotgun, letting out a large grin as he hooks a Frost Amplifier to it. He cocks it and shoots, slicing Toxic with Frost Bullets. Meanwhile...]

???: Akemi and Valeria, nice of you to join me. Please sit, sit.

Akemi: *Leaning against a wall* Just skip to the details, I'm bored!

Valeria: For once you have a point.

???: Fine, fine. We have received intelligence that those Elemental God creatures have gone missing. We could use their powers to become the ultimate kinetics.

Akemi: Just tell us where to go.

???: This is a special mission. Never have we been so close to achieving our goals. This mission will require all of us.

Akemi: *sarcastically* Even you, oh great leader?!

???: Silence! With my kinetic ability I could kill both of you. Each member of the group will head out to their own element specific clan. There they worship these gods, and most likely have the closest leads. Blend into society, and learn as much information as you can. Each member including myself has been tasked with Finding a god. Once you have received word of their location you are to return to here where you will recieve further instructions. Am I clear?

Valeria: Yeah!

Rancor: I highly doubt the Dark Clan will take me back...

??? 2: That's where I come in.

Rancor: Hmm?

???: She will disguise you using her light abilities. No one will notice but avoid touching anyone you could harm them. I will provide you with armor if need be to protect you from the light ability.

Akemi: So, this is pretty much just a sneak in-get information and get out mission?

???: For the time being, yes.

Akemi: Pretty boring wouldn't you say so V?

Valeria:Yeah, let's get this over with

(Both leave.)

???: *To Rancor* You'll have to excuse them they're a little impatient.

Rancor: I understand.

???:Excellent, and Mantis will accompany you for some time until he reaches his own destination.

(Mantis suddenly appears next to Rancor quietly, and sternly)

Rancor: Very well. (stands up)

???:Oh and before you go, this is perhaps your most important mission, prove yourself to us here, and you will solidify your name into our ranks permanently.

Rancor: (bows) I will not disappoint.

(Mantis leaves expecting Rancor to follow. Rancor follows. Back with Tunndrae, Mickey, and the now-wounded Toxic...)

???: Tunndrae!

(Tunndrae turns towards the voice. Mickey looks as well. A male cat runs towards them)

Mickey: "Eh?"

Tunndrae: Inghet? What is it?

Inghet: The wild Mamoswine herds are rampaging!! They're too close to the village!!

(Back with Johnny in Fow Toth Baseball Stadium (which was constructed by J the Hedgehog), the scoreboards updates in the 5th inning: Home - 5; Visitor - 2)

Johnny: Best game ever. I just wish Alyssa could see this...

(Meanwhile, not far from the Wind Clan's base, there stood a black hedgehog with pants, and dead trolls everywhere.)

???: "I say that's impressive? I'm a Troll Killer too..."

(Back with Mitch, Tunndrae and Inghet...)

Inghet: Quickly, we must get back to the village!

Tunndrae: Right!

[Mickey nods and progresses with Inghet and Tunndrae. In the Ice Village, various soldiers are attempting to hold off the enraged Mamoswine.]

Ice Soldier 1: I don't get it!! Why are they attacking?!

Ice Soldier 2: Nevermind that now!! We need to hold them off!!

Mickey: ! "I can handle this, stand back!"

(One of the soldiers is suddenly hit by a Mamoswine's ice tusks! He flies backwards, yelling in agony, and lands.)

Ice Soldier 3: AAAAUUUUUUUGH!!

[SFX: Thud!]

Mamoswine 1: Mamooooooooh!!

Mickey: "Hey, big Mammoth, thing! Want a Challenge for a wimp like you? Come over here!"

Mamoswine 1: MAMOOOOOOH!! (charges at Mickey)

Mickey: "Boom."

[The Mamoswine is hit by a blast of small fire!]

Mamoswine 1: MOOH!!

(The other Mamoswine hear the first Mamoswine's cry of pain.)

Mamoswine 2: Mamoooh?

Mamoswine 3: (Points a hoof towards Mickey) MOOOOH!!

[Mickey then lets out a Ring of Fire around the other Mamoswine. They shy away from the flames, but some try to use Blizzard.]

Tunndrae: *thinking* Why are the Mamoswine attacking...? They're normally so peaceful.....

Mickey: "One word: Trolls"

Tunndrae: H-How did you....?!

Mickey: "Because they're always up to no-good..."

Tunndrae: I meant "how did you read my mind"...

Mamoswine 4: MAMOOOOOH!!! (uses Cocytus on the Ring of Fire)

Mickey: "By your Facial Expressions."

Tunndrae: ........

(The giant shards of ice come roaring at Mickey and Tunndrae!)

Tunndrae: Look out!! (pushes Mickey out of the way)

Mickey: "Oof!"

(The ice just barely hits Tunndrae. The injured Ice Soldier from before staggers over to them.)

Mickey: "I cannot believe you just did that..."

Ice Soldier 3: Wh-what do we do....?! (clutches chest) Ugh!!

Tunndrae: We've got to find a way to contain the Mamoswine until we can find out what's wrong. And go see a medic; you're bleeding.

Ice Soldier 3: Oh, r-right, ma'am! (leaves)

(Back with Johnny, the baseball game has already been finished, with the scoreboards tallying; Home - 7; Visitors - 0)

Johnny: [whistles as he leaves the baseball stadium in Fow Toth Town] Now to head back to Chaos City for me to head back home.

(Johnny takes a tour bus and the bus driver drives Johnny back to Chaos City)

Part 2
(Meanwhile, the WaterClan hyena and Vanessa the Loch arrive at Golden Cove.)

WaterClan Hyena: Well, here we are...

[elsewhere, a green cat with many tails walks toward FireClan territory, humming a tune]

???: Hmmmhmmmhmhmmhmhmmm...hmmmhmmmhmmhmhmmmmm....Maybe i should stop...

(Enshoku the Wolf is watching Claterix. Some FireClan scouts are with her.)

Claterix:I should stop and get something to eat...Have'nt had anything for a long time. Let's see...

[Claterix begins scouting the area for something edible. After a while, he stops, and then manipulates his tails to lift himself up in the air. From there he looks around.]

FireScout 1: (To Enko) Do we attack?

Claterix:Is that a watermelon?...Nope. Eyes playing tricks. Maybe over here.

[his tails curve where the touch teh ground an slide along the dirt, moving him forward as he searches. Enko and her scouts follow. eventually, Claterix lowers himself to the ground again]

Claterix:Looks like there's nothing edible. Maybe I'll just take a catnap and hope for better luck tomorrow.

[though of a tall Tigeroan build, his limbs somehow fold into his body as he lays down, the end effect looking like a normal domestic cat curled up for a nap, albeit in a nest of green tails]

FireScout 2: .......what now?

Claterix: zzzzzzzz......ZzzzZzzzz.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Enshoku: ......I guess we leave him...

[Claterix' ears flick and his eyes open]

Claterix:Oh please no...Let it be someone ELSE'S signal i;m sensing...Not her, of all people...

[Claterix immediately gets up and runs at a hard pace into Fireclan territory. Far behind him, a dust streak shows that someone else is coming]

Enshoku: What the-?!

[once the streak gets close enough, it turns out to be Raeverai, chasing down Claterix into Fireclan territory]

FireScouts: O_o

Enshoku: *facepalm* Drakath is not going to like this...

Claterix: HEEEEELP! CRAZY CAT, CRAZY CAT! HELP MEEEEEE!!

(Claterix finally arrives in the Fire Village in the Red Mountain Zone. Some FireClan members look up as he approaches. Claterix slows down, and then covers himself in his tails, creating a furry green globe. Raeverai stops in front of it.)

Raeverai: Come on out, Clateriiiix....

Claterix: NO way! Go away! Shoo! This is none of you business, crazy!

Raeverai: Why should I do that, Clatery?

Claterix: DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!

Raeverai: You know I'll get in somehow.

Claterix: So? DO I care? NO! GO AWAY!

(The FireClan villagers simply stare. Raeverai finally notices them.)

Raeverai: What are you looking at?

(The FireClan Villagers look at each other.)

[Raeverai begins trying to pry Claterix' sphere open]

Raeverai:Open up already, you elemental cuckoo clock!

Claterix:I don't care how many times you call me that. I'M NOT OPENING!

(Back with Johnny, who has just arrived back in Chaos City...)

Johnny: [wandering around the city] Oh, what to do, what to do on this fine day...

(Back in the IceClan Village...)

Mickey: "Let's see...."

[Mickey looks around the area, possibly bringing an idea.]

Tunndrae: Well, any ideas?

Mickey: "Okay, so you know the Mamoswine are large? Why not run around them so they try to never lose sight, they'll tip over from the slippery ice from moving too much..."

Tunndrae: Hmm...yes, that could work!

Mickey: "Okay then..."

[Mickey grabs Tunndrae's hand and starts to run in a circle around the Mamoswine!]

Mamoswine 1: Mamoooh!!

Mickey: "Hang on tight..."

Tunndrae: !!!

[Mickey greatly increases his speed with a Tailwind-like move.]

Mamoswine 2: Mamoooohh!! (stomps around in a circle, trying to keep an eye on Mickey and Tunndrae)

[The ice then begins to wear down...until Mickey hits an icy rock.]

Mickey: "Aww s***!"

Tunndrae: AAAH!!

[Mickey and Tunndrae are sent flying. Tunndrae lands on Mickey, breaking her fall.]

Mickey: "OOF!"

Tunndrae: Uhn!!

[The Mamoswine are dizzy!]

Mickey: "Mmf! Met moff mlease..."

[Mickey's face appears to be stuck in the ice...]

Tunndrae: S-Sorry! (gets off of Mickey)

[Mickey plucks his head out, his face is covered in cuts.]

Tunndrae: Y-Your face! We need to take you to a medic!

Mickey: "Please Ma'am, I've faced worse..."

Mamoswine: Mamoooooohhhhh @_@

Mickey: "I'm actually a soldier..."

Tunndrae: A soldier?

Mickey: "Yeah."

(Inghet comes running up.)

Inghet: Are you both alright?

Mickey: "Yeah, a few cuts doesn't hurt..."

Tunndrae: You sure?

Mickey: "Yeah."

Tunndrae: Alright...

Inghet: (Looks at the incapacitated Mamoswine) What do we do with the Mamoswine?

Mickey: "Well, we should leave them be, they'll wake up and think it's just their imagination."

Inghet: Still...I want to know who riled 'em up! They've NEVER done this before!

Mickey: "One word; Trolls."

Inghet: Trolls?

Mickey: "Horrible people who think they can mess others up. They also womanize if they're male..."

Inghet: People...you don't mean Overlanders?!

Mickey: "No. They're 'Recolors' of famous people."

Inghet: Ah...you mean like King Maximilian Acorn?

Mickey: "I don't think so. They're not Antis...let's say you encounter a dark green-colored Sonic; that's a recolor. If he acts like a pervert or a womanizer, that's a troll."

Tunndrae: Sonic...? I think I've heard of him...

Mickey: "The Blue Blur."

Inghet: Uh...

Mickey: "Super fast hedgehog. Has blue fur."

Tunndrae: ...yes! I think I remember him! He went past here a few months ago; I think he was headed towards the Icecap Zone. Said he had to see Queen Blyzzard.

Mickey: "I see."

Inghet: He is lucky that Imawashii didn't get him...

(Back in the Glacian War Tower, the Sub-Ordinates of the other parts of the Glacian Nation were arguing about the Elemental Wars.)

Cameron: "WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP!!?"

Subordinates: O_O

Cameron: "Jesus Christ, I feel like my Ears have been clawed by Rakumei, okay, do what you all damn want with the clans, but DO NOT ATTACK!! You got that men!!?"

Subordinates: Yes sir!

Cameron: "BUT the Starpaw Corps and the Black Operations is staying neutral!"

[Cameron walks out, possibly to his own house.]

(Meanwhile, we can see Dismal the Hedgehog running from something...)

Dismal: *panting*

Johnny: [hears someone panting] Huh? [looks around]

(Dismal runs past, he trips.)

Johnny: What the--? [runs towards Dismal] You okay?

Dismal: (Looks up and sees Johnny) !! (scoots away)

Johnny: Hey, wait up! [follows Dismal]

Dismal: (Looks back to see Johnny following him) O_O (trips over a rock) WAUUUGH!!

[SFX: THUD!]

Dismal: *whimper*

Johnny: [walks over to Dismal] Are you okay? Are ya hurt...?

(Suddenly...)

???: There you are, Dismal!

Johnny: "Dismal"?

(A group of Trolls appear.)

Dismal: O_o

Johnny; [sees the Trolls] Ah crud. Trolls. Unbelievable.

Toxic: Hey hey, now. We're just here to get our buddy back.

Solar: You didn't know that Dismal's a Troll too?

(Johnny is confused, at first, until...)

Johnny: [panicked] WAH! The person I just rescued... is actually a TROLL! GAH!! [vanishes himself in flames and the flames subsides and he vanishes (seemingly humiliated and filled with guilt)]

Bolt: Dohohohoho!

Dismal: ......

(Toxic puts an arm around Dismal's shoulders.)

Toxic: Awww, don't feel bad, Diz.

Dismal: Why do you guys constantly follow me...?

Frost: Bubonic wants to see ya!

Dismal: O_O B-But I dun wanna...

Toxic: Too bad! (Chaos Controls away with Dismal; the other Trolls follow)

[Later, in Cameron's House, Cameron was working on a Black Ops Bumper Tank...but Trolls are spying on him!]

Toxic: *whispering* I wonder what he's building...

Dismal: (Rubbing the spot directly above his tail) Ow...

(Toxic smacks Dismal in the back of his head.)

Toxic: *whispering* Shut it, you emo!

Cameron: "Hello fails."

Cameron's thoughts: 'Three...two....one....'

[Toxic's Head is suddenly shot off by a Lascannon!]

Frost: HOLY-

Dismal: O_O (ducks down)

Cameron: "Solar, Eruption please."

[A Quilava bursts out of the Top of the Tank.]

Solar (Quilava): "Eat Rocks Trollheads!"

[Solar spits out Molten Rocks! The Trolls scream and run in terror, except for Dismal (who continues to cower upon the ground). Frost is hit in the crotch by one of the Molten Rocks.]

Solar (Quilava): "Pft pft pft pft pft pft!"

Frost: 'AAAAAAAAAGH!! MY BAAAAAAALLLLLLLSSSSSSS!!!'

Tantrum: *thinking* Good thing I'm immune to fire...hehehe...

[Cameron rolls out of the Bumper, raising his Pistol, he fires, sending out Shurikens which hit Tantrum in the eyes.]

Tantrum: 'AAAAAAAAGH!! MY EYES!!' (he stumbles around and trips over Dismal) Oof!

Dismal: !!

Tantrum: (Gets up) Who'd I trip on?! ROAR!! (kicks Dismal square in the rear)

Dismal: OOWWW!!! DX

[Cameron fires more, hitting Tantrum in the jugular.]

Cameron: "Grovyle, Leaf Blade."

[A Grovyle bursts out, slicing a random troll (Tonic) in the crotch, but the Grovyle's Leaves aren't just leaves, her Leaves are replaced with Earth-enchanted Blades!]

Tonic: WAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!

Cameron: "Now, there's something missing..."

(Suddenly, a Rhyperior charges into the area!! Dismal sees it and screams in terror!)

Dismal: I DON'T WANNA DIIIIEEEEEE!!! (runs out of the way)

(The Rhyperior charges past him and slams into Bolt, Poison, Punchout and Nightshade!)

[SFX: WHUD!!]

Bolt/Poison/Punchout/Nightshade: AAAAAUUUUUUGH!!

(Back with Johnny, he appears in Red Mountain (cradling his body into a ball with guilt.)

Johnny: [muffled] I can't believed the person I just rescued was a Troll! How did I not know that?!

(After Johnny calms himself down, he curiously climbs up to the volcano cone (since he is pyrokinetic and flames do not affect him) until he reaches the top. Down near the FireClan Village, Enko looks up and sees the tiny figure of Johnny at the top of Inferno Volcano.)

Enshoku: Wha...? (she runs towards the volcano and proceeds to climb up it)

Johnny: [sees Enko; thinking] Eh, as long as the environment is fiery, I'm okay with that.

Enshoku: *thinking* Who is he.....and why is he on Inferno Volcano?

(Back near the village, Drakath sees Enshoku climbing the volcano. He then sees Johnny.)

Drakath: Enshoku? What is she doing......and who's that other person....? (unsheathes Agni's Flame and runs towards the volcano)

(On top of Inferno Volcano...)

Johnny: [ear twitches and looks behind to see Drakath; thinking] Who is he...?

Drakath: You! (points his sword at Johnny) State your name and business!

Johnny: [looks at Drakath] I'm Johnny D. the Fox, and I turn Trolls into grilled cheese.

Drakath: Then why are you here, intruder? There are no "Trolls" here!

Johnny: Eh. Blame my curiousity. Ah well, I have my own goals to accomplish. [uses Flame Hover and flies away from the volcano (as the heat enhances his speed)] See ya!

Drakath: ........

Enshoku: Sir?

Drakath: Hmph. If he comes back, we'll be sure to give him a "warmer" welcome. He must have a lot of gall to intrude upon the birthplace of the sacred Moltres! (re-sheathes his blade) Let's get back to the village.

(So Enshoku and Drakath leave. Back with Cameron, his Pokemon, the Trolls, and the Rhyperior...)

Cameron: "Karma...?"

Cameron's thoughts: 'If that Rhyperior did a Karma Charge...'

(Dismal is hiding under a table. With Johnny, he's having trouble slowing his speed down from using Flame Hover)

Johnny: Crap! I can't slow down! [hits the ground, causing him to skip along the ground before stopping in front of Cameron's house] Uber.... wipeout...

[A series of Elemental Attacks are heard inside.]

Johnny: [hides inside an empty garbage can] If it's those pesky Trolls again...!

(The door (as well as a good chunk of the wall) is blasted off its hinges!)

Johnny: [thinking; as he feels the banging sound from the garbage can he was inside of] Who's doing this...

(Back inside..)

Cameron's thoughts: 'Then that must be Ryushu's Rhyperior!'

???: 'SQUADILLAH!! WE ARE OFF!!'

[A Shiny Charizard flies into the house, spewing fire at the Trolls! Cameron grabs his M1 Garand, shooting another Troll in the Leg. The table that Dismal was hiding under gets engulfed in flames!]

Dismal: AAAAGH!! (runs out from beneath the now burning table)

Cameron's thoughts: 'That's definitely Ryushu...but where would she be...?'

???: Here I am!

(Ryu jumps off of the Shiny Charizard's back!)

Cameron: "GACK! How'd you read my mind!!?"

Ryu: Durr, because I'm a girl! :B

Johnny: [pops his head out from the garbage can and runs inside Cameron's house] That must be Cameron!

Cameron: .... "Point taken..."

Ryu: LOL

(Dismal stops running, seeing that he's left the fire behind. Suddenly...)

Cameron: "Crowbar. Right. Here. WOOHOO!"

(Johnny, who has heard Dismal, Cameron and Ryu, attempts to open the door, but the door is jammed.)

Johnny (from behind the door): [tries to open the door, but can't] Darn it! The door's jammed!

(Ryu hears knocking on the door.)

Ryu: (Opens the door) Who is it?

Johnny: [sees Ryu] hi there, Ryu! I hear y' need help on kicking some Troll butt?

Ryu: Oh yes please! Come on in!

(Johnny goes inside, with a huge smile on his face)

Johnny: [sees the Trolls (except Dismal)] Oh goody! [cracks his knuckles] I'm gonna beat the living crap out of youse! [charges torwards them]

Cameron: "Let's beat on some sons of B******!"

Johnny: You betcha, Cameron! [charges torwards Biggie] Take this, ya overweight barbarian! [uses Burning Combat on Biggie, inflicting each kicks and punches onto his body, inflicting burning pain (despite Biggie's overweight stature)]

Biggie: Ugh!!

Johnny: [finishes Biggie off with a headbutt, causing Biggie's head to be buried underneath his body (for comedic effect)] Whoo-hoo! Now then... [loooks at the Trolls] Who's next in line??

(Dismal begins to sneak away.)

Cameron: "How 'bout the Emo?"

(Dismal freezes in his tracks.)

Johnny: [turns to Dismal] Huh? [walks torwards Dismal] Hmmm....

Dismal: O_O

Cameron: "Maybe not, how about Hothead?"

Johnny: Like Tantrum?

Tantrum: (Points at Dismal) No way! Kill him!

Cameron: "Hmmmm, hmm hmmmmm No."

[Cameron shoots Tantrum in the crotch with his Shuriken Pistol. back at the fireclan village, raeverai has made a ...mistake. raeverai is struggling to stay on top of Claterix sphere of tails, wich is rolling thru the village]

Raeverai:Listen, you elemental furball! If you don't stop, wer'e gonna crash!

Claterix:SO long as you go away, I'll stop!

[they continue to randomly roll thru the village, causing the villagers to flee from them.]

Raeverai:Uh...Where are we anyway? Some kinda village? Not a very good one, doesn't even have any defence

Claterix:Shut up and go very far away! I'm NOT getting caught by you today!

[Claterix' sphere heads toward the center of the village]

Raeverai:Aren't village centers where leaders are, Claterix? Sure you want to do that?

Claterix:YOU'RE THE ONE ON TOP OF MY SPHERE! NOT ME! SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN BUZZ OFF ALREADY, AND LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!

(Drakath and Enshoku happen to see the Claterix sphere hurtling towards the center of the village!)

Raeverai:You know, Clatery, if you just open up, we could be done with this

Claterix:DON'T CALL ME THAT, I'M NOT OPENING,GO AWAY!

Part 3: Electricity and Peelz
(Back in Cameron's house...)

Tantrum: Ugh....but he's emo anyways!!

Cameron: "You are with your Temper Tantrums."

[Cameron dashes up and hits Tantrum in the crotch with his Crowbar.]

Johnny: [laughs]

Tantrum: WAAAUUUUUUGH!! (falls over) THAT DOES NOT COUNT AS EMO!!

Johnny: Stop reminding me! I wouldn't be curling into a ball with complete humiliation!

Tantrum: But doesn't that make you want to punish him?

Johnny: .....! [stands still (since he is still humiliated after saving Dismal, who is obviously a Troll)]

Tantrum: Yeah.....hehehe......you wanna make him cry for making you look like a fool, don't ya?

Johnny: [growls, then swiftly grabs Dismal by the neck and looks at him] WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU WERE A TROLL?!

Dismal: I.....I........

Johnny: You what?!

(Dismal breaks down crying.)

Johnny: [sees Dismal crying and his face slowly turns from angry to sadness and guilt and lets go of Dismal] ......

Tantrum: (Gets up) Look at him.....he's a total crybaby! (to Johnny) What do you think of crybabies?

Cameron: "Hothead, your an a**clown."

[Cameron beheads Tantrum with Executioner. Johnny simply stands there, seemingly guilty. Dismal's huddled on the ground, crying.]

Johnny: [voice breaking] This sucks! [uses Flame Hover and leaves Cameron's house, leaving a large gaping hole, thus escaping from Ryu, Cameron, Dismal and the other Trolls (since he was filled with sadness and guilt)]

Cameron: "God D*** you Tantrum..."

Ryu: ........

[Cameron kicks a Metal Table, hitting Toxic's corpse in a Revive-o-matic.]

Dismal: *sniffle* (to himself) T-Tantrum's right....I AM a c-c-crybaby....(he gets up)

(Johnny is nowhere to be seen, other than looking at a large gaping hole from the ceiling. Toxic revives!)

Toxic: Ugh, my aching head.......

[Toxic is suddenly seized by Cameron's Blastoise and Grovyle!]

Toxic: H-Hey! What gives?!

Cameron: "For flirting with Ryushu."

Toxic: When did I-.......oh yeah....

(With Johnny...)

Johnny: [burying his face onto his knees] I can't believe I made friends with a Troll...

[It begins to snow extremely hard, to the point where it is difficult to see...]

Johnny: Crap... it's snowing... [gets up and runs] I gotta find a warm place to stay, before I become a frozen caveman...

[Back in Cameron's House....Cameron punches Toxic in the face, making him slip into his Katana Trap.]

Cameron [Voice Recording]: "NINJA!"

Toxic: UUURGH!!

Just outside the house, it is snowing... Pretty badly, still]

???: Bloody 'ell, man, what did you have to bring us up here for? It's freakin' COLD!

??? 2: Shut up, Robert. We're almost there. I think there may be a problem with my... Friend, here.

??? 3: ... Whatever you say. I kind of agree with Robert... What do I have to do with this?

??? 2: Uh huh. Well, listen, I'm with Ice... A friend of his is a friend of mine.

??? 4: Thanks, Richard... I guess. Now... [He places something on the door] Also. None of you will question my orders or disrespect me again, unless you have something serious to bring up in a mature manner. Is this understood?

All in Unison : Yes, sir.

??? 4: Now, breach it. Anything that attacks you, attack back. GO. [The door bursts open with a loud explosion]

Cameron: "Who's the Jackass that broke my door...?"

??? 4: Sorry for the entrance. I can write a check to pay for the... Uh, broken door, I was just checking to see if you're alright. A roof that's broken open is... Never a good sign. I found out your address from some fangirl crazy about you and decided to visit. When I got here, I ... Noticed the roof and decided to call for some help.

Cameron: "One of my friends busted out 'cause of some Trolls."

Ice : Oh, trolls, here? You mind if I capture one? G.U.N wants one to study it's brain structure, etc... Anyway, so everything is OK, right?

[Ice looks over at Dismal.]

Ice : Is he the only one... Alive, and if so, could I take him? I want to know if it's possible to "save" them, and so does G.U.N.

Ryu: Go ahead. But I don't know what you mean by "save"...

Ice : Oh, as in capable of... Some good. They're probably mostly bad, but... Seize him. [His 3 special ops grab Dismal] Just don't resist and this won't be hard, ok? [He looks at Dismal, then at his men] Richard, Robert, be gentle if possible. Clive, help them out if you must.

Dismal: Wh-What's going on?!

Robert : We're taking you to G.U.N, ya batshit insane wanker! Now shut up unless you have something important to say for the Queen's sake!

Dismal: *whimper* B-But....

(They see Johnny limply walking by and collapses the the ground, short of breath, as he suffers hypothermia (as his pyrokinetic powers are useless on snowy environments))

Ryu: OMG! Johnny!

Johnny: [quietly] I'm a failure...

Ice : Troll, or friendly...?

Ryu: He's a friendly! (whistles at Charizard, who walks over) Johnny needs heat! Please hurry!

Charizard: Char! (puts his tail near Johnny)

Cameron: "Holy S***!"

[Ice shoves the Charizard away]

Ice : OH, HELL NO. He needs REAL medical treatment, not just... THAT thing. Clive, get working on it, NOW.

Clive : Jesus, Ice. [He pulls out something from a pack - a shot... He plunges it in Johnny's arm. Immediately, he begins to feel a bit better and warmer]

Charizard: Char!! 3:<

Clive: Sudden heat like that could possibly cause severe temperature fluctuations, resulting in fainting, or worse. I need a fire.

Johnny: [groans as he slowly opens his eyes (his body is becoming warmer)]

Clive: [He shakes Johnny] You OK, kid? Tell me how you feel, and I can help you more.

Johnny: I'm filled... with guilt.

Ice: The troll is cuffed, right?

Robert: Quite.

Ice: I'd like to talk to him in private...

Dismal: .............

Ice: [He gently grabs Dismal and takes him into a different room and shuts the door] Just... Wait. Hold on. Let me tell you before I start... Asking you some things. Please, don't make this harder than it has to be. I'm with G.U.N. Special ops. Best around. I'll shoot you if you make me; but I really don't want blood all over these clothes, OK? Now... Tell me, why do you... Just, act like you do? What's the point to it, for you?

Dismal: I......I guess it's just because.......(he shrugs) I just am.........

Ice : Have you ever... Felt bad, about anything you did? Even considered reforming, or changing?

Dismal: I hate having to do bad things........I don't know why, though.....it's not correct for me to think that way, Rageik says.....I'm supposed to be a Troll.....

Ice: So... There is a light in you. You don't have to be a troll, you know. I can help you get away from your past, if you want to. Who is this... Rageik, person?

Dismal: He's the Troll leader.

Ice: The... Leader, eh? Well, look, do you want to escape from him and from your past in general?

Dismal: I....

{Dismal suddenly has a flashback of sorts...}

Toxic: (Has Dismal by the neck) So help me, if you even think of betraying Rageik...

Dismal: N-No, I'd n-n-never...!!

(Toxic throws Dismal to the floor.)

Toxic: You'd better say never, you pathetic, sniveling worm of a Troll! (he walks away)

{Flashback end...}

Ice: [He's looking at Dismal's eyes] You have a bad past, don't you kid? You've been hurt for a large part of your life, or all of it, have you not? You aren't evil. Keeping you cuffed is just cowardly and cruel. I'm... Sorry. [He takes a key from his pocket and uses it to take off Dismal's handcuffs]

Dismal: ...........

Ice: Remember what I said earlier about the testing? Forget about that. That's for real trolls. You're either not a real troll, or a... Strange troll. Sorry for what Robert said back there. He has a very low tolerance for trolls.

Dismal: Uh...o-okay......

Ice: You're scared of something, aren't you? You're scared of something powerful that's been looming over you like a black cloud your whole life, isn't that it...? Do you want to come back to G.U.N HQ with me? I'll be able to get you some help there.

Dismal: *panics* N-No, I can't!! I...I'd get into tr-trouble!!

Ice: What's the name of that punk you mentioned, Rageik? You don't have to be afraid of him... Look at me... [He props Dismal's head up a bit] You can choose your own path. You don't have to answer to them any more. You can have freedom. If he shows his face, me and my team will obliterate him. We won't let him get close to you; we're trained professionals. I by myself have taken down bases full of enemy soldiers.

Dismal: ............

{Flashback...}

Toxic: You seriously aren't worried that Dismal might turn on us?

(Toxic is talking to Bubonic.)

Bubonic: It's nonsense. Dismal's far too cowardly to do something like that; he'll listen to whoever threatens him, too afraid to defend himself...besides....

Toxic: Besides...?

Bubonic: All those experimental chips I've implanted into him have one thing in common; They respond to a certain frequency. (he holds up a remote) One press of the button, and all those chip's go nuts, wracking his innards with so much pain, he'll be begging for Rageik's mercy!

{Flashback end...}

Ice : If you're really that afraid of them getting mad at you, I could make it look like we're taking you by force. It might even get them to come out. Actually, I have an idea that might just work... Do you have any way to contact your... Boss, that you hate?

Dismal: Uhh.....no....but he usually ends up knowing what happens anyways...

Ice : Do you think he'll be "Checking" on you, soon? If so, I have an idea... We could tie you to a tree outside, then place an anti warping shield over you so they can't pop out of no where and warp you off. If the plan works, they'll try to rescue you... We'll be in the trees and underbrush nearby, and as soon as they show their faces we'll blast them or capture them. Richard is the explosives and technology expert of my team, and I think he has some things like the anti warp thing I was talking about. Yeah, he has all sorts of things... Mini EMP's that shut off anything electronic nearby, nuclear grenades, all sorts of things...

Dismal: Okay...

(In the Troll Moon Base...)

Rageik: (Sees the recently revived Trolls) .....where's Dismal?

Toxic: Un, about that, sir......he somehow survived....

Rageik: Strange...usually he's the first to die. Toxic, I want you to go look for him.

Toxic: Do I have too...?

Rageik: Yes, you do! Now go!

Toxic: *sigh* Oooookaaaaayy....*Chaos Controls away*

(Meanwhile)

Ice : [He finishes tying Dismal to a tree] There. That should be firm but comfortable... Enough to fool anyone who doesn't look closely... The anti warp device is attached to your back so he won't see it, we'll be nearby, camoflaged... [He runs off into the nearby snowy forest, wearing a ghillie suit. His team is invisible, almost]

(In a jail... Johnny is seen behind bars in a cell room (he arrested himself for making friends with Dismal, who is obviosuly a Troll))

Johnny: Yup. I'm guilty for saving a Troll. How did I not know that...?

(Back with Ice and Dismal...)

Ice : [Whispering to Robert] you see anything...?

Robert : Nothing, mate. Nothin at all...

(Then, Toxic walks into the area. He sees Dismal.)

Toxic: What are you doing, Dismal?!

Dismal: Uh.......

Ice : [Whispering to his team] Go...

[When they're all... Surrounding Toxic but at the same time camoflaged... Robert doesn't seem to be there]

Ice : [He throws off his ghillie suit at the same time everyone else does] FREEZE! [He's holding an M9 Pistol] Freeze RIGHT where you are, or else we WILL shoot. You are also currently being watched by a Sniper with 98% accuracy. An anti warp field has been placed on this general area. [He himself is standing in front of Dismal] You are under arrest.

Toxic: Whoa!! What the Hell?!

Ice : [He uses the moment of shock to barrel into Toxic, throwing him on the ground roughly and quickly slapping handcuffs on him] You aren't going anywhere, scumbag.

Toxic: (He looks up at Dismal) You little SELL-OUT!!

Ice : [He punches Toxic in the temple area hard enough to knock him out, but not kill him]

Toxic: Uhn!! *faints*

Dismal: .............

Ice : [He grabs his phone, twirls it on his index finger twice, then dials G.U.N] Ice here. Requesting pickup at coordinates... [He lists them out]

G.U.N Command : Roger. ET 20 minutes.

Ice : Confirm. Ice out. [He looks at his men] We have to defend this spot for 20 minutes from anything that comes near it. Primary objective is keeping Dismal safe. Is this clear?

Robert : Got it, mate.

Clive : Whatever you say...

Richard : Right!

Ice : Robert, I want to know if anything approaches. [He looks at Dismal] Anything you need, bud? You'll be out of this hell in 20 minutes.

(Toxic's voice echoes in Dismal's head...)

Toxic (voice): So help me, if you even think of betraying Rageik...

Ice: Kid? You there? You're... Phased out...

(Dismal's ears droop.)

Dismal: Wh-what have I done....? (he puts his head in his hands) I'm a traitor!

Ice: You never were really with them. You aren't a true troll. You are a person. You can choose your path. You aren't supposed to serve people who make you do evil things. It's pointless. You aren't a traitor, kid, and even if you were, you did the right thing; they don't deserve you. they're no better than the scum of the Earth. [He gently pats Dismal] It's going to be fine...

Dismal: *sobbing*

Ice : Look... [He kneels next to him] I kind of know how you feel. For most of my childhood, my parents were basically non existant... They mostly abandoned me, because of my... Powers. I fended by myself, getting various people to support me and pay for my education...Many of them were cruel. But I figured out that I didn't have to listen to anyone. I could make my own way. You can be the same way if you want to be - It's all up to you...

[A helicopter can be heard approaching...]

Dismal: I...I-I don't know.....

(Then, a helicopter door slides open, and the figure exits the helicopter, revealing to be Johnny, who has released himself after he has put himself behind bars for saving Dismal, who is a Troll)

Ice : Hey, you go... [He whips out his gun and points it at Johnny] YOU! Why are you flying G.U.N's helicopter?!

Dismal: !!!

(Johnny wasn't piloting the G.U.N. helicopter, it was the pilot.)

G.U.N. Pilot: He's not the one piloting, sir. He released himself and asked me to take him back with you and the others. Unless you want to kill him, no need, because he suffered an emotional breakdown. He said that he saved someone, who founded out that he was a Troll.

Dismal: (He looks very guilty) .........

Johnny: [looks at Ice] There's no point in trying to kill me...

Ice : [He puts his gun away] I'm sorry. Natural instincts when I think you've hijacked a helicopter. Everyone, inside, there's enough room. [Ice gets in along with his special ops] Come on, Dismal, and the other... Person.

(Dismal obediently walks inside the helicopter. He cannot bring himself to look at Johnny, however, although he is slightly surprised that Johnny still felt bad for him. Dismal suddenly hears a little voice in his head.)

Voice: He doesn't pity you, Diz. He thinks you're a sniveling little worm. You should be the one in the cuffs, not Toxic.

Dismal: (Grabs his ears) Leave me alone...

Voice: You know it's true...

Ice : From what I know, Trolls just resurrect after being killed. Sticking them in jail SHOULD fix that! ... Dismal? You ok?

Voice: Little coward. You should be the one to be experimented on at the G.U.N base, not Toxic. Toxic's loyal to Rageik.

(Dismal starts shaking and whimpering.)

Ice : Dismal, what is wrong...? Please talk to me.

Voice: You know I'm right.

Dismal: *thinking* H-He's right.....I should be in the cuffs.....

Voice: Yes...you're a bad hedgehog, aren't you?

Dismal: *thinking* Y-Yes...

Voice: You should be punished, shouldn't you?

Dismal: *thinking* Yes!

(Dismal holds out his arms, the hands limp, as if expecting handcuffs to be put on them...suddenly, he feels cold water on his face]

Ice : SNAP OUT OF IT!

[Dismal is in a comfortable room... Somewhere, he doesn't know where. Ice snaps his fingers in front of Dismal's face over and over.]

Dismal: !!

Ice : Finally! I got you to snap out of that trance. You're in G.U.N's base, the deeper interior. You were out of it the whole way here... Your name is Dismal, isn't it? I was just guessing it from what from some other people were saying back there.

Dismal: Huh.....?

Ice : You're out of it, aren't you?

Dismal: I...I think so....

Ice : Can you tell me just what's wrong with you?

Dismal: I....I guess I'm just screwed up in the head...

(Meanwhile, Cameron was Troll-hunting again...)

Cameron: "Chase THIS!"

[Cameron throws a huge bottle of something.]

[SFX: *whistling air*]

[The Bottle crashes down, sending out bags of Pills.]

Cameron: "PILLS HERE!"

Trolls: PEEEEEELLLLZZZZZZZZZ!!

[The Trolls eat the peelz...I mean pills. The Trolls then feel burning, except for Toxic, Poison, Stinkwad, and Putty, Cameron throws a Molotov at them instead.]

Trolls: AAAAAUUUUUGH!!

Putty: *Ganon voice* 'NOOO!! IT BURRNSSS!!'

[Cameron laughs as the Trolls Burn in different ways. He then leaves and goes back to his house, where Ryu and Johnny are.]

Part 4
(Back with Cameron.)

Cameron: "Pfffffffffffff--"

[Cameron slaps himself in the face, hysterically laughing.]

Johnny: ....

Ryu: ?

Johnny: I still felt bad for him...

(Meanwhile, at the Troll Moon Base...)

Rageik: *growl* Toxic should have returned by now...

Mac: Uh, Lord Rageik?

Rageik: What is it, Mac?

Mac: We've recently recieved word that Toxic has been captured by G.U.N...

Rageik: What?!

Mac: B-but that's not all, sir! It seems that Dismal's betrayed us at last...

Rageik: This is troubling...(he turns to Bubonic)

Bubonic: Not to worry, sir. (pulls out the remote, which looks much more high-tech now) I've been busy modifying this so as to make the chips in his body react in more ways. So, let's say I want Dismal to vomit up blood...(fiddles with a few dials on the remote)...and voila! Now with one press of this button, Dismal will be drowning in his own thrown-up blood!

Mac: Wow, that's cruel.

Rageik: And that's precisely why Bubonic is my head scientist.

Bubonic: So, shall we? (thumbs the button lightly)

Rageik: *evil grin* Yes.

Bubonic: Yes sir! (presses the button)

(In the G.U.N HQ, Dismal is just walking down a hallway. He suddenly doubles over, clutching his stomach.)

Dismal: Gaaah!! (falls to his knees) Wh...wha.....(vomits up blood)

(Outside of Fearful Cavern with Kaizer and Vertigo...)

Kaizer: Is this supposed to be the right place, Vert?

Vertigo: Of course it is, Kai! That's where all the treasures lie within the cavern! Now c'mon, scaredy boy! [runs inside the cavern]

Kaizer: I ain't scared, cloud boy >:(! [follows Vertigo]

Vertigo: [looks around and its dark] Huh... should've bought night vision goggles with me...

Kaizer: [sarcasm] Yeah, Vert, so we can hunt the treasures int he dark, like nothing can get any better!

(Kaizer and Vertigo are unaware that the Fearful Caverns belong to the Dark Clan)

Vertigo: [sees the sign that reads "Dark Clan"] "Dark Clan"? Psh. What a cheesy name! [grabs a red spraypaint can from his pocket and sprays the name from "Dark Clan" to "Barf Clan (aka Snoretropolis)"] There! That's better! [continues to walk inside the Fearful Cavern]

Kaizer: [rolls eyes] Unbelievable... [follows Vertigo]

(A pair of eyes watches them...)

Kaizer: Ever get the feeling that we're being watched...?

Vertigo: In the dark? Yeah right, Kai! The only things you'll be seeing are nothing but sick thoughts in your head, scaredy-cat!

Kaizer: For the last time, Vert! I. AM. NOT. SCARED!! [his loud voice echoes through the caverns]

Vertigo: [hears echoes; mocks] Oh noes! I am oh so scared! Oh please of please don't let the boogeyman get me! [laughs] Yeah right! [laughs hysterically]

Kaizer: [grumbles angrily]

(More eyes appear...they follow the two unseen...)

Vertigo: The treasure must be close by!

Kaizer: I bet the treasure will be live gold rattlesnakes waiting to squeeze you like ripe orange!

Vertigo: ....

[SFX: *soft thud*]

Vertigo: [hears a thud] Huh? What was that?

Kaizer: A yeti, maybe?

(More soft thuds, like footfalls...)

Vertigo: [nods; whispers] It's a yeti, all right... let's keep moving like no one's there...

Kaizer: Or... we could... RUN!!! [runs]

Vertigo: man you are SUCH a scaredy cat, Kai! [follows Kaizer]

(Kaizer runs face-first into something rather large...)

Kaizer: [hits face first into something large] OWWIESSS!!

Vertigo: [laughs at Kaizer]

Kaizer: This isn't funny, Vert!

Vertigo: Yeah, 'cause you screamed like a girl! [laughs uproarily]

???: Methinks you'll both be screaming like girls in only a few seconds!

(The thing that Kaizer ran into appears to be a large Mobian bear! A DarkClan Soldier!)

Vertigo: [slowly laughs to a halt] Oh... noes... it's a..!

Kaizer: Bear! [gets up and dizzily runs]

Vertigo: Can't you even run fast, Kai?!

Kaizer: [dizzily] My name... isn't... crazy legs y'know... [falls to the ground, unconsious]

Bear: .......

(Two more soldiers, a male ermine and a female cat, appear from behind Kaizer and Vertigo.)

Vertigo: [runs and tries to help Kaizer up to his feet] Get up, lazy boy! We got to get out of here!

Kaizer: [mumbles]

Cat: You two aren't going anywhere!

Ermine: Perhaps we should hold off, Medea? They are only children, after all.

Vertigo: [struggles as he drags Kaizer, who is unconsious] Get up, Kai! You're like a lead anchor! Sheesh!

Kaizer: [mumbles; still unconsious] .... pie on the go....

(Their path is blocked by Medea, the ermine and the bear.)

Medea: Then we wait for Henge!

(Vertigo is still dragging the unconsious Kaizer, as he tries to find a way out. Suddenly...)

???: You called?

Vertigo: [sees behind and spots a figure] EEK! [turns to Kaizer, and shakes him fast] Wakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeup!!!

Kaizer: [wakes up and looks at the sign, that reads "Barf Clan (aka Snoretropolis)", which was from Vertigo; giggles]

Vertigo: Fi-na-lly! You're okay, Kai!

Kaizer: You're the "intruder" here, Vert... [gets up] Good luck finding a way out! [runs]

Vertigo: [sees Kaizer run] No wait!!

(They are both grabbed by the DarkClan bear soldier. Medea eyes the sign that Vertigo painted over, and her lip curls in anger.)

Kaizer and Vertigo: [gets kidnapped by the DarkClan bear soldier] EEEEEEKKKK!!!

Kaizer: I don't taste like pizza!

Vertigo: Or carrot soup!!

Medea: (Points at the sign) Which one of you did this?!

Kaizer and Vertigo: [look at Medea and point to each other] He did it!

Kaizer: Nuh-uh, Vert! You're the one with the spray paint can!

Vertigo: No you are!

Kaizer: No you!

(Vertigo and Kaizer continue to argue at each other, until Vertigo's spray paint can falls out from his pants pocket, and it lands onto the ground, and the two suddenly stop arguing at each other as they look at Vert's spray paint can roll down in front of Medea! She kneels down and quickly snatches the spray paint can, staring at it. She looks up at Vertigo, a murderous expression on her face as she throws the paint can away.)

Medea: You dare to defile the name of the Dark Clan of Voidstar?! Impudent whelp! (she pulls out on of her two daggers)

Ermine: M-Medea, there's no need for that!!

Medea: Oh, isn't there?

Vertigo: [gulps as he sees Medea's daggers] Uhhhhhh.... are these two cool looking toys??

Kaizer: [to Vertigo; sings in a teasing manner] You're in trouble! You're in trouble! You're in trouble! [blows raspberries at Vertigo] PPPPPPFFFFFFFBBBBBHHHHTTTT!!!!!

(Suddenly...)

???: Tenebre's right, Medea. Stand down.

(Medea, Tenebre and the bear turn towards the voice. A male lynx with only one good eye is standing there.)

Vertigo: ....

Kaizer: What's the matter, Vert? Can't take the joke? [laughs uproariously]

Vertigo: [growls to Kaizer]

Kaizer: [mockingly] Oh noes! [resumes laughing]

(Vertigo, who is angry, jumps at Kaizer and the cloud is completely covered up with Kaizer and Vertigo slugging at each other)

Medea: ...........

Tenebre: Uh...

Lynx: That's enough. (in one swift motion, he rushes at the fight cloud and pushes Kaizer and vertigo away from each other. The bear grabs Vertigo to prevent him from jumping onto Kaizer again, while Tenebre grabs Kaizer.)

Kaizer and Vertigo: [flailing their feet] Lemme at 'im, lemme at 'im, lemme at 'im!!

Bear: -_-'

(Kaizer and Vertigo keeps repeating "Lemme at 'im!" countless times)

Medea: Commander Henge, what do we do with them...?

Henge: Throw them outside.

(Both Tenebre and the bear nod as they walk towards the cavern entrance. Henge looks up at the sign that Vertigo painted over.)

Henge: Barf Clan...?

(After Tenebre and the bear throw Kaizer and Vertigo outside, they start to slug at each other again as the fight cloud covers Kaizer and Vertigo. Tenebre sighs.)

Tenebre: I just hope they don't hurt each other too much...(re-enters the cavern with the bear)

[Back with Claterix and Raeverai at the FireClan village, Raeverai is pulling hard at Claterix' sphere]

Raeverai: OPEN!

Claterix: NO!

Villager 1: Should...should we do something...?

(Drakath and Enko return.)

Drakath: (Sees Claterix and Raeverai) What is this?!

Raeverai: None of your business. Clatery, you WILL open, sooner or later!

Claterix: NO I WON'T!

Drakath: (Unsheathes Agni's Flame again) If it's in my village, then it is my business!

Raeverai: Your village? *looks around* oh...

Claterix: Can you please leave now?

Raeverai: Afraid not, Clatery.

[Raeverai resumes pulling. Drakath lets out a frustrated growl.]

Claterix: STOP! JUST STOP ALREADY! There is no way I'm opening.

Raeverai: *grins* Oh, I don't know...

Drakath: (Kicks the Claterix ball) Out!!

Claterix:Who's there? Can't be Raeverai...

Raeverai:Course not. Wonder where my brother is...

[The momentum sends Raeverai over the wall, but she grabs the top]

Raeverai: Waoh...

Claterix: FINALLY!

[the ball begins to unfold a little, revealing a green Tigeroan cat beneath. Back in the IceClan Village...]

Inghet: Now what do we do with the Mamoswine...?

(One of the Mamoswine (a larger-than-usual male) starts to wake up.)

Mickey: "Didn't think we'd get this far..."

[Michael facepalms.]

Tunndrae: Uhh...

[Michael then starts to dig in his knapsack. Back with Kaizer and Vertigo, they're still fighting at each other until The Trolls appear!]

Mac: Tsk tsk tsk...children fighting? That's not good. Putty, separate them.

(Putty extends both arms and grabs Kaizer and Vertigo.)

Kaizer and Vertigo: [yell angrily as they flail their fists and their legs at each other (not to Putty or Mac), even though they are separated by Putty]

???: "Hello Fails."

Putty: Hrr?

[Wraithlord walks out, using his Lascannon to shine a very bright light (And impale into Mac's Skull). However, despite that Wraithlord frees the kids from Putty, they resume fighting at each other once again.]

Mac: AAAGH!!

Wraithlord: "I love saying Cameron's line, seems fitting."

(Wraithlord sees Kaizer and Vertigo fighting at each other)

Wraithlord: "HEY!"

[Wraithlord uses his Booming voice to get their attention.]

Kaizer and Vertigo: [stops fighting and covers their ears] YAGGHHH!!!! [looks at Wraithlord]

Wraithlord: "There...."

(Tenebre hears Wraithlord's booming voice and comes back outside to investigate...)

Tenebre: (Sees Wraithlord) What the-?!

(Back in the G.U.N base...)

Dismal: *whimpering* S-S-Sombuh......body.......h-h-h-help......(tries to get up but is too weak) Ugh! (coughs up more blood; begins to sob) I don't wanna die....I don't w-wanna die....(vomits up more blood)

G.U.N. Soldier: [takes Dismal to a nearby medical room] C'mon now...

Dismal: *coughs again* Gghhhhuuuuh....

(Nearby, an Enerjak armour-styled Echidna stood, watching)

???: Hirukozami! (His hands flew together, launching a massive concentrated beam of electricity that he guided with his mind)

Part 5
(The G.U.N. Soldier (and his real name name was Kyle Jefferson Sr.) takes him to the medical room and the doctors help heal Dismal. They can't understand why he's suddenly coughing up blood, though.)

Dismal: *wheezing and coughing*

G.U.N. Solder (Kyle Jefferson): [places his hand onto Dismal's chest] Hang in there! The doctors are doing everything they can to heal you.

Dismal: It h-h-hu-hurts....

(Suddenly, a yellow hedgehog walks inside the medical room!)

???: "It hurts" you say?

G.U.N. Soldier (Kyle Jefferson): [turns to J] Huh? Who are you..?

J: Call me J ('Jay'). [walks over to Dismal] What's wrong with him?

G.U.N. Soldier (Kyle Jefferson): I'm not sure. He's badly hurt, and we don't know what's causing it.

(Dismal shudders, his body being wracked in agony.)

J: [looks at Dismal] Hang in there! [places his hand onto Dismal's head] CHAOS HEAL!

(Nothing happens...the chips must be Chaos-proof...)

Doctor 1: It seems surgery is the only option...

Dismal: Wh-Wh-What?!

J: Hmmm... [sits down in his yoga-stance and performs his meditation technique as his spirit form emerges out from his body and goes inside of Dismal's (J's Meditation is not Chaos-aligned)]

G.U.N. Soldier (Kyle Jefferson): Impressive...

Dismal: Wh-what's g-g-going on?!

J (spirit form): Calm down. I'm here to help. I'm inside your mind and I'm going to find out what's injuring you.

(In Dismal's mind...)

???: HEY!! What do you think you're doing in here?!

J (spirit form): Preventing you from hurting an innocent person.

???: You idiot!! That person is me!!

(Dismal's evil, masochistic personality, Demental, walks into the area!)

J (spirit form): If he was you, then how come he was only an innocent Mobian? He rarely poses any threat to anyone else.

Demental: Because I am his other personality. Normally, Dismal's a sniveling, cowardly worm! But I, Demental, am the stronger one! I am no coward, and I would never betray the Trolls! It's a shame that Dismal's usually in control...it makes no sense, either! His will's so pathetically weak! He lets everyone walk all over him!

J (spirit form): Everyone but me.

Demental: Feh! How can you feel sorry for an abysmal little infant like him?! Now if I were in control....no one would stop me!!

J (spirit form): [smirks] I can defeat you before you can take over Dismal. Besides, I've already faced off so-called unstabble enemies, such as my "father".

Demental: Are you willing to kill off a part of Dismal's very being?

J (spirit): Not killing you, but defeating you so that you don't torture him would be my only solution, and then sealing you from his mind.

Demental: Ahahaha! That's impossible, I'm afraid! I make up 50% of his very being! It'd be like mentally cutting him in half!

(Suddenly, Demental is chained down to the ground (the chains are filled with Chaos energy) as the chains wraps around Demental's arms, legs, neck, even his mouth, preventing him from voicing his threats!)

Demental: Grrr....

J (spirit form): I'm afraid that you'll have to wait to kill him. [snaps his finger and Demental is trapped in a ball filled with Chaos energy, instantly sealing him]

(Back outside Dismal's mind...)

Dismal: (Has fled the doctors in terror) *panting*

(Some of the doctors are chasing after Dismal.)

Doctor 1: Dismal, wait! We're not going to hurt you!

Dismal: L-Leave me alone!!

G.U.N. Soldier (Kyle Jefferson): [keeps an eye on J's body (which is in meditiation mode)] C'mon...

(Back at Fearful Cavern...)

Tenebre: (Eyes Wraithlord fearfully)

Kaizer and Vertigo: [stares at each other angrily]

[Wraithlord then looks at Tenebre.]

Wraithlord: "Hello...."

Tenebre: (Gasps and backs up) H-Henge....Henge!! (runs inside the cavern)

Wraithlord: "No no no, wait, wait please."

(In the main room of Fearful Cavern, Henge can be seen conversing with the Clan Leader, Maliseer the Bat. Then Tenebre comes running in.)

Tenebre: Chieftess Maliseer!! Commander Henge!!

Henge: Tenebre? What is it?

Tenebre: Th-There's a HUGE robot outside the cavern!!

Maliseer: A robot? This is troubling.......a robot-like being invaded the Earth Clan a while ago......

Tenebre: What should we do....?

(Back in the G.U.N base, Dismal has been cornered by the doctors.)

Doctor 2: It's all right, Dismal. We're not going to hurt you.

Dismal: G-G-Get away!! *whimper*

Doctor 3: (Kneels down next to Dismal and puts a hand on his shoulder) Just try to relax.

Dismal: (Whimpers and shies away from Doctor 3)

(Then, J's spirit form emerges out of Dismal as he flies back to his body (he has done his best to seal Demental from Dismal's mind).)

Dismal: WAUUGH!! (cowers away, whimpering)

Doctor 4: That's more than creepy... Did it work?

J: [walks over to Dismal] You should be okay. I managed to seal your evil self shut. [teleports away, by using chaos Control]

Dismal: .........

Doctor 3: Well...

(Dismal begins to sneak away.)

Doctor 3: Dismal, no! (he grabs him)

Dismal: AAAGH!! L-LET GO!!

Doctor 2: Hold him still so I can sedate him! (pulls out a needle)

Dismal: (Sees the needle and panics) NO!! NONONONONO!! *crying*

Doctor 2: (Gently grabs Dismal's arm) Don't worry, it's just a little shot that'll help you relax.

Dismal: N-no, please!! Please!!

Doctor 2: I know you're scared, but we're not here to hurt you.

Doctor 3: We need you to relax, so we can help you. It's just a teensy little shot to help you.

Dismal: (Whimpers and cowers away) No!!

(Doctor 2 rubs antiseptic onto Dismal's arm with a cotton ball.)

Doctor 3: It's not going to hurt like the needles the Trolls gave you did! Trust us!

(Dismal whimpers in fear as Doctor 2 takes the cap off the needle. He struggles to escape Doctor 3's grip.)

Doctor 3: Give him the shot, quick! He's starting to annoy me.

Doctor 2: Okay, okay! (sticks the needle into Dismal's arm)

Dismal: AAAGH!! (struggles harder for a few seconds before he becomes drowsy) *whimper*

Doctor 3: I hope the needle didn't break under that thrashing. I've seen needles break when Rouge gets startled. I mean, I HAVE worked with Team Dark on occasion.

Doctor 2: You've had to sedate Rouge before?

Doctor 3: She had shrapnel stuck in her side, and Shadow tried to remove it. Didn't go so well in the battlefield, so I had to sedate her and give her at least six shots of antibiotics and vaccines. It took four attempts to sedate her, and she broke two of the needles.

Doctor 2: Damn...(looks at Dismal and removes the intact needle) This one didn't break, at least.

Doctor 3: Lucky. Lets just get this examination over and done with, get him healed and get him outta here before the other Trolls come for him.

Doctor 2: Right.

(They both walk away, into one of the examination rooms. Doctor 3 sets Dismal on the nearby operating table.)

Doctor 3: Hmmm, already obvious that he's malnourished and sleep-deprived.

Doctor 2: (Carefully places a hand on Dismal's forehead) His forehead feels hot...

Doctor 3: Some signs point to various different diseases. For example, the pale skin and tired eyes lead more towards things related to the flu, while the severely acid-burned throat could have been caused by anything that triggers vomiting.

Doctor 1: He's missing a fair bit of blood. What blood type is he? I'll stick him onto a transfusion ASAP once I know that.

Doctor 2: I'll take a sample. (disinfects the inside of Dismal's left arm, then sticks a needle into it and draws a bit of blood)

Doctor 3: Looks to be that he's been regularly beaten up, which is common amongst Trolls, but also the wounds haven't had time to heal. That's really not like the trolls, unless they're beating up their own members now.

Doctor 2: Poor thing...(hands the blood sample to Doctor 1)

Doctor 1: O+! That's really handy! I'll send for the blood. (The doctor pulls out a small radio and radios for an intern to bring the blood)

Doctor 3: Odd, there are signs of genetic grafts on his arms, and the back of his head. Some of this stuff looks like...no, that's impossible. Still, whatever they've implanted into his head might be a problem. You know the Trolls.

Doctor 2: What should we do?

Doctor 3: Run an X-Ray for metallic objects, and be careful with his right arm. I'm going to get an X-Ray of that as well...

Doctor 2: Okay. (picks up Dismal and carries him over to the X-Ray room)

(In the X-Ray room, Doctor 2 sets Dismal on the table, and prepares to take an X-Ray. A few minutes later, the X-Ray is completed. Doctor 1 grabs Dismal and carries him back to the examination room, hooking up a drip to his arm for the blood transfusion)

Doctor 2: He might wake up soon...

Doctor 1: Give SOME credit, mate. I added a very mild sedative to the blood transfusion. He'll be under for a while after it's finished.

Doctor 2: Ah. (sets up the X-Ray pictures) ........

(Doctor 3 grabs a laser pointer, pointing at a metallic object within Dismal's skull)

Doctor 3: What's your take on that? Also, (Shifts point to the arm) what about that? It looks almost like a flexo-plate. Where have I seen that before...

Doctor 2: (Shakes head) This is so weird...

(A black bat with messy brown hair, a skull t-shirt, and camo pants rises up out of Dismal's shadow.)

Kairu: Outta the way, lemme see. You guys might be the medical experts here, but I'm the techiest tech-head this side of Mobius.

Doctor 3: Can I ask if Flare would be coming? He's a master with forging, as Shadow has said, and he uses flexo-plates on occasion. You might want to examine the object within his head though sir.

Kairu: Flare can get screwed. I'm Kairu the Bat. Now, outta the way!

(The doctors move aside so Kairu can examine the X-Rays)

???: I can do what now, Kairu? (a familiar ripple of time is seen as Flare flow-walked in)

Doctor 2: Um......

(Then, Dismal starts to wake up (although the sedative keeps him groggy.)

Dismal: *groggily* Whu...what's going on....? (looks over at Flare) H-Huh?! F-F-F-Flare?! (attempts to scoot away) Ohhh......d-d-don't h-hurt me, please!!

(Meanwhile, in Dismal's mind...)

Demental: GrrrrrRRAAAGH!! (breaks the ball of Chaos Energy) That moronic fool!! I'm the one with control here, not him!! Grr......hmm...

(Meanwhile, Johnny is seen walking inside the G.U.N HQ. He hears talking coming from a nearby room...)

Johnny: Huh? [walks towards the source of the sound]

Doctor 2: It's all right, I don't think he's going to hurt you...

Dismal: B-But...

(Johnny hears a quiet whimper come from the same room.)

Doctor 2: Lay back down, Dismal. It's okay.

Dismal: *whimper*

[A knock on the door is heard.]

Doctor 1: Who could that be? (walks over to the door and opens it)

[It appears to be Cameron.]

Cameron: "How's the Troll doing?"

Doctor 2: Not very well, I'm afraid...

Dismal: (Sees Cameron) O_o

[Cameron facepalms.]

Doctor 2: (Puts her hand on Dismal's shoulder)

Cameron: "I think he saw me massacring the other trolls."

Dismal: (Cowers away in fear) D-D-Don't h-hurt me, p-puh-please!!

Cameron: "Do what...?"

Dismal: I'm s-s-sorry!! I w-won't do it again, I promise!!

Cameron: "Again, Do what...?"
 * (Ryu-Hey KP, what about Cameron's troll counterpart?)
 * (He was shot down recently [Rimshot.])
 * (Ryu-LOL by who?)
 * (By the Solian Empire)
 * (Ryu-But he'd just regenerate anyways...I was thinking that Dismal would mistake Cameron for his Troll counterpart.)

(Back at the Fearful Caverns, Maliseer, Henge, Tenebre, Medea, Varjud and a few other soldiers exit the caverns to confront the Wraithlord...they hide behind a large rock.)

Tenebre: Th-there it is....

Varjud: Wot in the name o' Voidstar...?

(After staring at Wraithlord, they look at Kaizer and Vertigo and their eyes are flared with anger by staring at each other)

Varjud: *whispering* Heh. Watch those two little blokes go at each other's throats again!

Tenebre: *whispering* Varjud!

[Wraithlord looks at them.]

Wraithlord: "Voidstar's people, correct? No need to worry...My name is Shahooter the Owl."

Maliseer: You're the Dragon's apprentice?

Wraithlord: "So you have heard of Swiftwind, Yes I am."

Henge: But....you're a robot....

Wraithlord: "I was an Owl..."

Henge: ......

Wraithlord: "I'm just a Spirit inside this Machine."

Maliseer: It's possible to trap a person's soul in a machine...?

Wraithlord: "The Spirit chooses to him or herself."

[Back with Claterix, his speher suddenly unfolds, whipping his tails around Raeverai, Drakath, and Enko]

Claterix: Gotcha!

Enko: WAAUUGH!! What are you-?!

Claterix: A tigeroan of the elements!

Enko: But why attack us?!

[he blinks]

Claterix:Oh. Just trying to get rid of her. Who are you?

Drakath: I am Drakath, the leader of this village, the Fire Clan of Fiamme.

Claterix:Oh. Sorry.

[he releases Drakath]

Drakath: Thank you. and would you kindly release my second-in-command as well?

[he also releases Enko]

Claterix:Sorry. Just trying to find....[falls silent]

Enko: Find what?

Claterix:....Never mind...Should'nt say....

Enko: Why not?

Claterix:Ti....my leader...sent me to find something...

(Back in the Troll Moon Base....)

Bubonic: Hmmm.....(fiddles with the dials on his remote)...let's see how Dismal likes having a severe headache! (presses button)

[Bubonic suddenly gets the headache!]

Bubonic: OW!! My head!! (looks at remote) WTF?! (gets idea) Hmmm...if this is what I think it is.....(fiddles with more dials) *thinking* I'll poison Dismal! But if it goes to me instead, I'll be completely immune! (presses button) Haha!

(in the hospital)

Kairu: (puts two fingers to his forehead) Ungh... so that's it... (whirls around and points to one of the doctors) You!

Doctor 1: Me?

Kairu: Yes you! There's a chip in him somewhere that's being sent bio-signals. It's what's making him sick! I'm picking up the transmission now... Get that thing out of him NOW!

Doctor 1: I can get him prepped for surgery right now!

(At the mention of "surgery", Dismal's eyes widen in terror. He jumps down from the table and runs out the door, screaming.)

Doctor 1: .....oops.

Doctor 2: *facepalms*

[SFX: *"The Price Is Right" lose theme*]

Kairu: (sigh) (Dismal falls straight down through his own shadow)

Dismal: AAAAGH!!

(Dismal then reverses direction, and comes shooting out of the ground next to Kairu, coming out of his shadow.)

Dismal: AAGH!! (lands) Ugh!!

Kairu: Dismal! Dude! The neon troll with the lab coat is controlling you! He's using a chip somewhere inside you to make you sick! And now he's trying to poison you! You have to let us get it out if you want to live!

Dismal: B-B-But....


 * (Hey Ryu, can Kairu use his telepathy on Dismal to find out his true identity?)
 * (Ryu-Err, i guess. But i'm not having dismal change back...)
 * (Oh, okay.)
 * (Ryu-what can I say? i'm cruel :3)

Kairu: Wait... there's something... in your mind... it doesn't fit... (closes eyes)

Dismal: H-Huh?

Kairu: You're not a Troll, are you?

Dismal: Uhh......not anymore, I guess....(puts head in hands) I was a traitor.....

Kairu: You were never a Troll in the first place.

Dismal: Huh?

Kairu: This is probably gonna hurt. (uses telepathy to bring Dismal's memories of when he was 3 into his mind)

Dismal: WAAUGH!! (Clutches his head) OOWWW!!

Kairu: I did warn you.

(Dismal is on his knees, low to the ground, clutching his head and shaking.)

Dismal: P-Pu-Please!! Make it st-stop!! Make it stop!!

Kairu: (snaps fingers, it stops.)

Dismal: (Panting heavily and sobbing)

Doctor 2: (to Kairu) Did you find anything?

Kairu: Yes. Oh heck yes. (grabs the doctor) Take the chip out, and I'll be back with further instructions. Ciao. (falls through the ground)

Doctor 2: Okay. (picks up Dismal)

Dismal: !!

Doctor 2: (To Doctor 3) Let's get him prepped for surgery.

Doctor 3: Right. (To Flare) What are you looking at?

Flare: These X-Rays of his arm. That looks like a Project Reaper Regenerative Flexo-Plate. Not common outside Reaper himself.

Doctor 2: What are you saying, that Dismal has some connection to Reaper?

Flare: No. I'm currently hunting Reaper as well, because he stole a scythe I made. I'm thinking more along the lines of the trolls using Dismal as a testbed for the Project Reaper tech, as they've done with other members of Team Reaper.

Doctor 2: (Looks at Dismal) ........

Doctor 3: So, if I cut that metal...

Flare: It'd regenerate. It's one of the hardest metals to work with. I've make armor from it, and even then I can't stand the stuff, because if there's some imperfection on the surface, it gets spread all through the armor.

Doctor 2: Now what.....?

Dismal: ...........

Doctor 1: Well, we could still remove the chip in his head, right?

Flare: Go ahead, remove the chip. That' s a modified sickness chip. Just get him into surgery. I can confine the plate, because it's actually starting to grow onto his skeleton, and that means he'll have a skeletal structure similar to Reapers: rubber and mentally controllable. Imagine Dismal being able to stretch his body like a sheet of rubber. That's what his arm can do with that flexo-plate, and that's what he's able to do.

Dismal: !!

Doctor 2: Okay. (walks away)

(Doctor 3 follows.)

Dismal: *whimper*

(In another room...)

Dismal: I'm scared......

Flare: Man, I wish Sara was here. She's better with this sort of thing than I am. (Turns to Dismal) Don't worry, Dismal. When you wake up, you'll be feeling a lot better, and they might be able to reconstruct parts of your skeleton! (to the Doctors) If you need them, I can make metal parts for things like his pelvis.

Doctor 2: Thank you, Flare.

Doctor 1: His pelvis?

Dismal: (curls into a ball)

Doctor 2: Oh, don't.

Dismal: *muffled moan*

(Flare calmly places a hand on either side of Dismal, channeling healing electricity through his own body into Dismal, focusing on triggering sleep, which didn't work)

Flare: Darn. Looks like you might have to sedate him again.

Doctor 2: All right. (pulls out another needle and uncaps it)

Doctor 1: Should we get him to uncurl first?

Doctor 3: Dude, those muscles are the strongest things in his body. It'd be near impossible for us to force him to uncurl. I swear, he must be part armadillo.

Doctor 2: Hopefully if I sedate him, he'll uncurl....(sticks the needle into Dismal's spine)

Dismal: AAAGH!! (he uncurls suddenly)

Flare: Oh, great. Where's Kairu when you need him?

Doctor 2: (Holding Dismal down) He came by earlier...

Flare: I see. I saw him before.

(Doctor 3 quickly sets up the surgical gas mask over Dismal's mouth, making sure he stayed under. Dismal fights weakly for a few seconds before falling asleep.)

Doctor 2: Okay...

Doctor 3: There we go. Now, Flare, do you need any specific tools for the flexo-plate?

Flare: Nope. Just open up the arm for me, and my specialized tool kit would serve me perfectly.

Dotor 1: Okay. (grabs a scalpel and Dismal's right arm; he carefully cuts the arm open)

(Flare quickly withdraws a sterilized tool kit, withdrawing forceps which he used to pull back the flesh, then a small fusion-cutter to start to cauterize the bone and flexo-plate together, stopping it's growth.)

(Unbeknownst to the doctors and Flare, Mac is spying through a window!)

Mac: Grrr....what does Flare think he's doing, ruining all of Bubonic's hard work?!

(Tonic appears next to Mac.)

Tonic: What's he doing now?

Mac: He's stopping the flexo-plate's growth!

Tonic: That b***h!

Mac: We gotta stop him and bring Dismal back to Bubonic!

Tonic: How? I mean, I know we can transform through long-range tapping into the emeralds, but there's two of us, and that's Flare...in a GUN base! I mean, Shadow and Rouge might be in there. I'm fine with just watching that tight wolf backside from here (Mac hits Tonic) What?!?

Mac: Freaking queer! I hope that dragon-halfbreed rips your head off!

Tonic: What? I'm just saying! I'll go take out my anger and 'gayness' as you so brutally put it on Dismal....oh, yeah. Better make it one of the other test subjects. (Tonic leaves)

Mac: God dammit...(pulls out a radio) Frost, Poison, are you there?

Poison: Yeah, we're here. Mac, do it yourself! I mean, you can split so all 3 previous versions of you are separate, and so you're an assault force of your own. Why get us to....OUCH!

Frost: My bro might have a point, but we're coming.

Mac: Good. The only reason I need your help is because Flare's there...

(In the background, we see Kotuumath ripping off Tonic's head.)

Frost: Ah, gottit. Might be smarter to get someone not oriented to Ice to be there though, considering he's a pyro and electrokinetic.

Mac: Hmmm.....is Tantrum there? He's immune to fire...

Frost: Yeah, he's here. And more ratty than normal due to no Dismal around to beat up.

Mac: Well, tell him I need him to help recapture Dismal. I'm sure he'll like that.

Frost: He sure did. Where do I tell him to go?

Mac: Tell him to go to the G.U.N base.

Frost: 3...2...1... (Tantrum and Poison arrive within split-seconds of each other)

Tantrum: WHERE IS HE!?!?!?!

(Mac points to the window.)

Mac: Beyond there.

Tantrum: Allow me. (Tantrum starts sliding around to beneath the window)

(Back inside...)

Doctor 2: You've gotten the flexo-plate to stop spreading. What now?

Flare: Get that chip out of his head, that's all I can think of aside for reconstructive things on his face and bones.

Doctor 1: All right. (cuts off the fur on Dismal's forehead and cuts it open)

(Doctor 3 quickly starts moving some of the flesh with forceps to allow them to see the chip)

Flare: Oh man, that's nasty.

Doctor 2: !!

Doctor 1: Eww...

(Doctor 3 carefully pulls the chip out, placing it into a plastic bag. At this same point, Tantrum used a Flame Tail on the window, making it shatter inwards, before leaping in, followed by Mac and Poison)

Flare: Great. Someone call for security to help me with these guys. (Flare draws both his swords, letting his tri-ringed eyes fall over the three trolls, analyzing their stances)

Doctor 1: (Pulls out a radio to call for back-up) Yes, there's an emergency!

Tantrum: No you don't! (Tantrum lashes out with Flamethrower at the radio, which Flare easily caught and absorbed)

Flare: Yes he does. (Flare retaliates with a Flame Tail, quickly followed by both his swords being drawn from their scabbards)

(Doctor 2 gets in between Dismal and the other Trolls.)

Mac: Just give us the gray hedgehog, miss.

???: Over my dead body! (A single hedgehog stood there, black with jeans and a red shird. His hair had a single spine flowing backwards, with two smaller spines flowing up from beneath it to sit slightly higher than it on each side)

Doctor 2: Huh?!

Flare: Wha....Tritec? What the hell are you doing here?

Tritec: Covering you! I got the message that there was a Troll attack.

Flare: You work for GUN?

Tritec: Heh, no but the guys coming now do. They told me, or rather, Shadow told me. He's in that group.

Mac: I'll ask once more, give us the gray hedgehog, miss.

Doctor 2: No!!

Mac: Then you give me no choice. (Mac starts to form a Chaos Blast Beam, but Tritec steps in between the Doctor and the Trolls)

Tritec: Go ahead, Mac. Shoot BloodSonic's brother, see what happens.

(As Tritec distracts the Trolls, Doctor 2 quickly begins to seal shut the wound on Dismal's forehead.)

Mac: I should do it...

Tritec: Then do it, or do you fear my brother?

Poison: Just do it, boss!

Tantrum: Grr.....

(Doctor 2 finishes sealing Dismal's wound. She turns off the ether, removes the mask, and picks him up, where she quickly runs for the door.)

Mac: DAMNIT! (Mac split himself into the four versions) 1, 2, go with Poison, go get him. We'll hold off these two.

Doctor 2: (Opens up the door and escapes)

(Poison and Macs v1 and 2 race after them as Tantrum and Macs v3 and 4 prepared to fight Flare and Tritec)

Flare: What's you're form of the day?

Tritec: I have a form of the day? Normally I just go one level higher than them.

Flare:.....oookkkk then...

(Tritec goes Voltage. In the hallway...)

Mac v1: There she goes! (Mac v1 races after the shadow of the Doctor, with Mac v2 and Poison not far behind)

Doctor 2: *thinking* I will not let them take Dismal...!

Mac v1: She can't escape us! For we are Mac!

Poison: And Poison!

(Doctor 2 runs into a nearby room and locks the door behind her.)

Mac v2: The door! Ready?

Mac v1: Ready.

Poison: What?

(Both Mac's use Chaos Fist on the door simultaneously, throwing up a fair bit of damage, but failing to get more than a centimeter through the door)

Poison: Might have to keep working on that. Now, how to get past...

(Inside the room (a small office), Dismal starts to wake up.)

Dismal: Huuh.....what happened....?

(The door shakes again as the two Mac doubles strike the door)

Dismal: AAAAGH!! Wh-what was that?!

Doctor 2: It's alright, Dismal! (she sets him on the chair behind the desk)

(The door stops shaking, and it seems that the three trolls on the other side were thinking)

Doctor 2/Dismal: ...............

Doctor 2: I think they left.

(The door shakes, and a small finger-width hole appears)

Dismal: *whimper* (ducks beneath desk)

(There is a thudding, then a muffled curse)

Doctor 2: Huh?

(An eye is seen looking through the hole, with black 'whites' and green irises...one of the Macs. Dismal pokes his head out from underneath the desk.)

Doctor 2: (To the Mac) Get out of here!!

(The Mac pulls his eye away, and starts punching the door. The other two join in.)

Dismal: AAAGH!! (pulls his head back underneath the desk)


 * (G2G Ryu, have fun :P - FF)
 * (Ryu-Baww....)

(Eventually, they break through the door!)

Doctor 2: !!

Mac v1: Poison, take care of the girl!

Poison: Yeah! Chaos Control!

(Doctor 2 is frozen where she stands! Mac v2 runs over to the desk, and grabs Dismal's tail.)

Dismal: N-NO!! LET GO!!

Mac v2: Shaddup, you! (drags Dismal towards the door)

(Dismal scrabbles frantically but helplessly as Mac v2 drags him away, with Mac v1 and Poison following.)

Part 6
(A few minutes later, in the hallway, Mac v2 grabs Dismal's neck and yanks him up to a sitting position.)

Dismal: *yelp*

Mac v1: Alright, you. (kneels down in front of Dismal) These G.U.N goonies took Toxic, too. Where is he?

Mac v2: You should know; it's your fault he got captured anyways!

Dismal: I....I don't.......

(Poison kicks Dismal in the crotch.)

Dismal: GAAAH!! (hunkers down, holding his crotch) I d-don't know wh-where he is!!

Mac v2: Bad answer. (pushes Dismal onto his face and kicks him in the butt)

Dismal: AAAAGH!! St-stop it, p-please...!

Poison: Then tell us where Toxic is!

Dismal: Okay, o-okay.....(points towards Cellblock B) He's in there.....

Mac v2: Good boy. (kicks Dismal towards the Cellblock) Lead the way, dog.

Dismal: (Crying softly as he shambles towards Cellblock B)

(In Cellblock B, the four arrive at Toxic's cage. He's just sitting down, but he gets up when he sees his visitors.)

Toxic: Hey, Macs v1 and 2! Poison! (immediately pulls out his rapier and points it at Dismal) Hello, Dismal! I'm gonna flay you alive when I get outta here!

Dismal: *whimpers and cowers*

Mac v2: Well, save some flaying for Tantrum.

Toxic: Oh, fine. Now can you let me outta here?

Mac v1: Sure thing. (grabs the lock and destroys it with Chaos Palm, freeing Toxic)

Toxic: Thanks. (kicks Dismal in the stomach, onto his back)

Dismal: GUH!! (Toxic places a foot on his stomach and presses down hard) Aaaagh!!

Toxic: This is for selling me out and betraying the Trolls!! (stomps Dismal's stomach)

Dismal: GAAHH!! (coughs up blood onto Toxic's shoe)

Toxic: Eww! (removes his foot and kicks Dismal in the crotch) Gross!

Dismal: *yelp* (huddles on the floor) *sobbing*

Toxic: Ugh, you're pathetic...(to Poison) Why are we even bothering to take him back to the Base with us?

Poison: Well, Bubonic wants him back, for one thing.

Cameron: "Hello fails."

[Black Ops were on the other side of them.]

Mac v2: Awww, sh*t...

Dismal: !

Poison: Great. What now?

Cameron: "'What now' is your death."

[Cameron throws Executioner, hitting Poison in the brain with it's sharp end.]

Poison: AAAUUUUGH!! (falls over, dead)

Dismal: ACK!! (turns around and runs away, then trips)

[Cameron then shoots his World War II Colt, hitting Toxic in the head.]

Cameron: "That's why you wear a Helmet."

Mac v2: Sh*t!! (to Mac v1) What do we do now?!

Mac v1: Uh...

Cameron: "Kill 'em."

[The Black Ops shoot the Macs. When Poison got shot, Doctor 2 became unfrozen. In the office where she was left, she looks around.]

Doctor 2: Oh no... (runs out the door)

Cameron: "Okay, now that all the Bad Trolls are dead...Hey kid, y'alright?"

(Dismal looks around at Cameron, standing up as he does.)

Cameron: "Heheheh."

Dismal: ..........

Cameron: "Sorry, I was just happy about slaying the Trolls."

Dismal: I feel really tired.......I'm going to...lay down.......

[Dismal gets down on the floor and curls up a bit like a cat. Cameron places something on Dismal. The hedgehog looks up blearily at Cameron.]

Dismal: Uh....?

Cameron: "You'll see."

(Back in the Troll Moon Base...)

Bubonic: Grrrr....why haven't they returned with my guinea pig yet?! (presses a button on his remote)

[Suddenly, Bubonic TURNS INTO a Non-Mobian Guinea Pig!]

(Hey Ryu, Here?)

Bubonic: Wh-what the-?! (furious squeaking) What am I supposed to do now?!

(Back at the G.U.N base, Doctor 2 finally finds Cameron and Dismal. She sighs in relief.)

Doctor 2: There you are, Dismal!

Cameron: "Trolls tried kidnapping him, it's all okay Doctor..."

Doctor 2: (Picks up Dismal, who doesn't try to fight; to Cameron) Thank you for helping him.

Cameron: "No problem."

(Doctor 2 walks away, into a small recovery room. She places Dismal on the bed.)

Doctor 2: You need to rest now, Dismal. (she gently pushes on him so he lays down; she then covers him with a blanket)

[Cameron walks away to hunt for trolls. Meanwhile, in the Moon Base, Bubonic looks over at the room marked "Experimental Dream/Nightmare Chips".]

Bubonic: Hmmm.....(waddles over to the room as fast as he can)

(A few minutes later...)

Bubonic: Now.....how am I going to open the door.....? Hmmm......PUTTY!!

(Putty runs into the room.)

Putty: Master rang for Putty? (looks around) ........Master?

Bubonic: Down here, you rubbery buffoon!

(Putty looks down towards the door and sees Bubonic the Guinea Pig.)

Putty: .....................

Bubonic: It's me! Bubonic!

Putty: Why Master guinea pig?

Bubonic: How am I supposed to know?! *growl* Look, just open up this door behind me!

Putty: Yes, Guinea Pig Master! (runs over to the door and opens it, allowing Bubonic to get inside)

Bubonic: Right. (looks at a counter-top) Putty, I need a boost.

(Putty grabs Bubonic by the scruff of his neck.)

Bubonic: OW!! Not by the scruff!!

Putty: Sorry...(sets Bubonic onto the counter-top)

Bubonic: Ugh, never mind. Now then, let's see....no...no....no....ah-HA! (grabs a chip in his paws) Here we go!

[The Chip explodes by a Lightning Blast!]

Bubonic: ACK! Ugh...my best chip just HAD to be the one that wasn't yet indestructible.....

[Bubonic is then shocked!]

Bubonic: *squeal of pain* Ugh....

(Meanwhile, in Dismal's mind....)

Demental: Eeheeheeheehee!! (begins to form what appears to be a pitch-black ball of...something) Sweet dreams, worm! Or should I say sweet nightmares!! (the ball explodes and spreads)thumb|250px|right|This is what Dismal's nightmare is like. Creepy...

[Outside the base, Cameron cocks his Shotgun. Looking for Trolls. An El Gigante randomly stomps by.]

Cameron: 0_0'

(The El Gigante ignores Cameron and continues on its way.)

Cameron: "I'll pretend that never happened."

[Cameron looks for Trolls. Back in the base...]

Dismal: *whimper* (starts to twitch) Ooohhhhhhhhh......

(Then, Kairu rises out of Dismal's shadow)

Kairu: Dismal? You alright?

(Dismal is scrunched up, shaking and whimpering.)

Kairu: Hm... (puts a hand on Dismal's forehead and goes into his mind.)

(What he sees utterly disturbs him!)

Kairu: Oh god! I gotta wake him up!

Dismal: (starts mumbling in his sleep as he continues to whimper and twitch)

Kairu: Gotta find his subconscious...

(Dismal suddenly starts to thrash!)

Kairu: Hmm... Where could it be?

(Dismal starts to thrash harder, and he starts yelping.)

Kairu: God! If I don't get him up, something bad'll happen, I'm sure!

(Suddenly, Kairu feels sharp teeth clamp down onto his arm! Dismal's biting him (he must be panicking.)

Kairu: OW! He is freaking out! Who's DOING this?

(Dismal continues to thrash about.)

Kairu: There's no way that he could have a nightmare this bad on his own... Something's controlling his subconscious...

(At last, Dismal seems to wake up. He pushes Kairu out of the way and attempts to run, but trips.)

Kairu: Woah! (falls out of Dismal's mind and back into the real world) Dismal! Calm down!

(The door is locked (to prevent unwanted visitors) so Dismal hides under the bed. He starts sobbing.)

Kairu: What's wrong, man!?

Dismal: G-g-go away!! Don't h-h-hurt m-me!! ''P-please!! I dun wanna di-hi-hi-hiieee!!''

Kairu: Calm down! I'm not going to hurt you!

(Dismal continues to cry loudly. Perhaps Kairu should get the doctors...?)

Kairu: Okay, now I'm creeped out. OI! DOCTOR DUDE! GET IN HERE!

(Doctor 1 hears Kairu, unlocks the door and runs in.)

Doctor 1: What is it?!

Kairu: Dismal's going spaz.

Doctor 1: Wha..?! (runs over to the bed and gets on his knees) Dismal, come out of there!

Dismal: (Becoming short of breath) G-G-Go awaaaaaay!! *coughs harshly* Dun wanna die!!

Doctor 1: Dammit, he's starting to hyperventilate! He's too far to reach, though! (gets up) I'll have to get help. (he leaves)

Dismal: (Whimpering and crying) *mumbling* The Death Machine's gonna take me away....I don't want it to take me away...!!

(Doctor 1 arrives with...G.U.N soldiers?! One of them is carrying a pole with a loop on the end. Doctor 1 points to the bed.)

Doctor 1: He's under there.

(The Soldier crouches down and sticks the noose-end of the pole beneath the bed, trying to loop it around Dismal's body. He eventually succeeds when Dismal makes the mistake of poking his head out.)

Soldier 1: Gotcha! (drags Dismal out from under the bed)

Dismal: AAAAAAGH!! (grabs at the loop around his neck) LEMME GO LEMME GO LEMME GOOOOOOO!! (crying loudly)

Doctor 1: Hold him down!

(Soldier 1 removes the loop and pins Dismal to the ground on his stomach as Doctor 1 pulls out a syringe.)
 * (Ryu-Won't Kairu think this is a little rough on Dismal...?)

Kairu: Woah, woah, woah. The guy's gonna have a heart attack if you carry on like this!

Doctor 1: I don't like doing it, but if we use too little force, he'll end up hurting someone, or worse, himself. (he sticks the needle into Dismal's shoulder)

Dismal: WAAAAAAAUUUUUGH!!

Kairu: D'ooh... that's gonna hurt in the morning...

(Dismal is curled up on the ground, shivering and sobbing. Doctor 1 picks him up.)

Doctor 1: He'll have to be kept under constant surveillance now...which means I'll have to put him in a different room. (to Kairu) Thank you for notifying us.

Kairu: No problem. (Shadow Travels away)

(Doctor 1 walks away, carrying Dismal. He finally comes across a door which he opens. The inside somewhat resembles the padded room of a mental hospital; the walls are white, and a small bed (with no open bottom) sits in the corner. The Doctor sets Dismal on the bed. He's trembling, but becoming drowsy all the same.)

Doctor 1: You know I didn't want to do that to you.....I just didn't want you hurting yourself.......

Dismal: D-D-Don't luh-luh-leave me h-h-here.......p-please........

(Doctor 1 covers Dismal with the blanket.)

Doctor 1: Dismal, you need to rest now. I don't know exactly what it is that's upset you, but it's all right; it can't get you.

Dismal: It's gonna t-t-take me......it's g-g-gonna-

Doctor 1: Shhhh....nothing's going to hurt you.

(Dismal cannot stay awake much longer. Doctor 1 gets up and leaves.)

Dismal: W-W-Wait....(falls unconscious)

(A purple hedgehog with maroon hair, with black fingerless gloves, a black singlet, black spiky shoes, black pants, and a long, black, flowing cloak enters the room. The doctor, however, can see nothing...)

Dismal: ..........

(The hedgehog's glowing red eyes stare at Dismal. Dismal twitches slightly, as if he feels the stranger's presence.)

???: This hedgehog... he is truly afraid... (turns into purple smoke and flies inside Dismal)

Dismal: (Flinches slightly)

(Inside Dismal's mind, the hedgehog takes form again. Demental doesn't seem to be around...)

???: Yes... So much fear... beautiful...
 * (Ryu-does this stranger have ties to any of the clans?)

(Then...)

??? 2: What are you doing here?


 * (No, not at all. He's Phobia the Hedgehog, and he feeds on fear. You can imagine his reaction to Dismal.)

???: Who? (turns around)

(Demental is standing there!)

???: A second mind? Interesting...

Demental: Yes. I'm the non-cowardly part of Dismal.

???: Hmm... even the mightiest of beings have some fear...

Demental: The only thing I fear is not being able to torment the cowardly worm!

???: So be it... (purple smoke curls around Demental, and he sees himself trapped in a cage, being tormented by Dismal)

Demental: AAARGH!! WH-WHAT IS THIS?!

???: Your fears...

Demental: I...CAN'T...STAND IT!! GRAAAAAAHH!!

(Demental sees Dismal carrying an axe over to him, then he swings it down, and it all goes black. Back outside Dismal's mind...Dismal experiences a horrible nightmare as a side-effect of ??? being inside him)

Dismal: Uuuggghhh....(starts twitching) *moan*

(Dismal begins to sweat heavily, although his body feels cold...)

???: Yessss... more delicious fear...

Dismal: (Quivers and moans) Ooooohhhhhhhh.......(inadvertently wets himself XD)

???: This mind... almost pure fear... so delicious...

Dismal: (Writhing now) Aaaagh!! St-Stop.......(his heart is beating erratically)


 * (Wouldn't the doctors freak out at this?)
 * (Ryu-oh yeah!)

(In a sort of monitoring room, one of the security guards looks over at the T.V which shows Dismal's room.)

Guard: (Sees Dismal spazzing) What the...? Looks like he's going through an exorcism!! (gets up and runs out the room)

(The guard gets a few doctors with him before entering Dismal's room.)

Guard: It's the darnedest thing...it's like something's trying to take over his mind!

Doctor 1: (Sees Dismal thrashing, screaming and crying) !!

Doctor 3: (Runs over to Dismal and starts shaking him) Dismal!! Dismal, wake up!!

Doctor 1: Dammit....what do we do?!

(Doctor 3 grabs Dismal, restraining him as best as he can. He carries Dismal away to a different room, where he straps him down onto a table. The doctor then places a hand over Dismal's chest.)

Doctor 3: His heart's racing out of control....(to another doctor) Get me a sedative, quick!

(The doctor grabs a sedative and gives it to Doctor 3. He takes the cap off the needle and sticks it directly into Dismal's chest. He lets out a miserable wail, then begins to relax slightly (but he continues to twitch. The doctor looks over Dismal, and finds his "lower region" wet.)

Doctor 3: Oh boy...(unstraps Dismal and picks him up, taking him into the bathroom and setting him on the toilet)


 * (XD Trolls: $2. Killing Trolls: $5. Trolls wetting themselves: PRICELESS!)
 * (Dismal: I-It's n-n-not f-funny!! ;A;)

(Dismal wakes up while the doctor's cleaning him off with a wet washcloth.)

Dismal: *yelp* Wh-What are you-?!

Doctor 3: Just relax.

Dismal: (Starts shuddering) *low moan*

Doctor 3: Huh? (stops) What's wrong?

Dismal: (Still shuddering) I-It f-f-felt s-s-so.......

Doctor 3: Uhh......well, I'm finished cleaning you up...

Dismal: I-I'm so s-sorry I d-d-did that......*cries*

Doctor 3: Hey, it's alright. It was just a little accident. (picks up Dismal) Come on. (leaves the bathroom)

Dismal: (Sniffling and whimpering)

Doctor 3: (Feels Dismal's forehead) Man....you're burning up....I'm going to take your temperature really quick. (he sets Dismal down on the table and walks over to the nearby cupboard)

Dismal: ..........
 * (Ryu-you guys don't think this bit's a little too ideologically sensitive, do you?)

Doctor 3: Here we are. (pulls out a thermometer with a suspiciously bulbous end)

Dismal: (Sees thermometer; thinking) I-Is that a....?!

(The Doctor also grabs a small jar of petroleum jelly. He walks back over to the table.)

Doctor 3: Okay, Dismal, I need you to lay on your stomach for me.

Dismal: (Shakes his head) Oh no.....please, no!! (backs away, cringing)

Doctor 3: Dismal, this isn't going to hurt at all. I promise.

Dismal: NOO!! (covers head with hands) ''I dun wanna!! I dun wanna!!''

Trainee Doctor: What would you like me to do, sir?

Doctor 3: Hold him down, please.

Trainee Doctor: (holds Dismal down)

Doctor 3: Thank you.

Dismal: (Begins crying loudly)

Doctor 3: (Smears some petroleum jelly on the bulb end of the thermometer, then gently grabs Dismal's tail) It's alright. This won't hurt, I promise. (carefully inserts the bulb-end of the thermometer into Dismal's rectum)

Dismal: *yelps* AAAAGH!!

(The doctor leaves the thermometer in for a full two minutes before finally removing it. Dismal wipes his nose with one hand and sniffles.)

Doctor 3: (Holds thermometer up to the light) Good God.....104°.....(washes the thermometer with cool water, dries it then puts it away)

Dismal: (Is still being held down) *whimper* P-Please.....l-l-let me go!! *cries*

Doctor 3: (Rubs the back of Dismal's neck) Shhh....it's alright....(to Trainee Doctor) Can you go get me some medicine for him?

Trainee Doctor: Yes sir. (goes over to cupboard and grabs a bottle and a small cup; he returns) Here. (opens the bottle and pours a clear liquid into the cup; this he gives to Doctor 3)

Doctor 3: (Takes cup) Thank you. (to Dismal) Now, I need you to drink this for me.

Dismal: (Sniffs the cup's contents then backs away, holding nose) ACK!! Gross!!

Doctor 3: I know it doesn't taste good, but it'll help the fever...

Dismal: *whimper*

Doctor 3: Please?

Dismal: Ooohhhh.....(takes the cup) *gulps* (drinks the cups contents) Bleeeaaaaahhhh.....*cough*

Doctor 3: See, that wasn't so bad.

Dismal: I g-guess n-(puts paws over mouth)-mmmmmph!!

Doctor 3: !! (runs to get a small trash can)

Dismal: (Begins to gag and heave)

(Doctor 3 places the small trash can in front of Dismal, who throws up in it. He throws up for a whole 30 seconds (although for half of that time, nothing even came out). He then collapses onto his back, gasping for breath and crying.)

Doctor 3: *thinking* Poor little guy.....(to Trainee Doctor) I think we'll have to inject the medicine into him.....

Dismal: !! (rolls over onto his side) N-No...!!

(Doctor 3 grabs him and holds him down gently.)

Dismal: N-Nuh-No....p-p-please.....!!

(The Trainee takes out a syringe and pokes it through the rubber top of the medicine bottle, drawing some of the liquid. He then removes it and hands it to Doctor 3.)

Trainee Doctor: Where will you inject it?

Doctor 3: (Rolls Dismal onto his back and allows the Trainee to restrain him) Into his stomach. (sets the needle down) I'm going to get some antiseptic. (goes to get a cotton ball and a small bottle)

Dismal: (Tries to fight but is too weak) NO!!

(Doctor 3 walks back over to the table and douses the cotton ball with some antiseptic; he then uses one finger to push some of Dismal's fur away from his skin, and cleans the area with the cotton ball. Dismal kicks weakly in an attempt to stave the doctor off, but to no avail; the doctor injects the medicine directly into his stomach. Dismal lets out a miserable wail.)

Doctor 3: Shhhh.....(strokes Dismal's head in an attempt to soothe him)

(Dismal quivers and whimpers, his body scrunched up slightly.)

Part 7
[Meanwhile back with Cameron...Cameron eventually finds some Trolls.]

Cameron: "HEY FAILS!"

(The Trolls look around at Cameron.)

Frost: The wolf!

[Cameron cocks his Scoped Shotgun. Meanwhile, back at the IceClan Village...]

Tunndrae: (To Mickey) What exactly are you looking for...?

(Back with Vertigo and Kaizer, they have arrived at the Red Mountain Zone)

Kaizer: This time, I'M doing this prank!

Vertigo: [blows raspberries at Kaizer]

Kaizer: [grabs a spraycan and attempts to spray the name from the FireClan Sign] Now let's see here...

(Someone watches them unseen....)

Vertigo: [whines] Hurry up, Kai!

Kaizer: Will you calm down, Vert? You're such a whiner! [resumes spraying the sign]

(He finishes spraying the sign, changing from FireClan to "Whodunnit Clan". He hears a giggle...)

Kaizer: What the--? Vert, was that you giggling?

Vertigo: Don't look at me.

???: *giggle*

Kaizer: Stay here, Vert. I'll go check it out. [walks to find out on who's making giggling sounds]

Vertigo: [sticks his tongue out while Kaizer finds out on who's giggling]

(Kaizer walks next to a type of tree indigenous to the Red Mountain Zone. Suddenly, a female fox appears upside-down from a tree branch in front of Kaizer!)

Fox: BOO!

Kaizer: WAH! [jumps and his spray-can goes flying]

Fox: *giggling even more*

Kaizer: [giggles nervously] Wh-Wh-Who are you...?

(The fox jumps down lightly from the tree.)

Shageki: I'm Shageki. Who are you?

Kaizer: Kaizer. And my whiny cousin is Vertigo.

Vertigo; (unseen, but heard): I heard that!

Shageki: *giggle* Are you lost?

Kaizer: Well, if it wasn't for my cousin, I wouldn't be too lost.

Shageki: Oh..

(Suddenly, Kaizer is tackled by Vertigo, who is angry!)

Vertigo: [strangles Kaizer] WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I CAN GET US LOST, HUH?!?! WE ALWAYS GO THE RIGHT WAY, AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET!!!

Kaizer: [choking noises]

Shageki: H-Hey!! Cut that out!!

(Vertigo is still strangling Kaizer. Shageki finally runs over to them and tries to pull Vertigo off of Kaizer.)

Vertigo: [is pulled away by Shageki, flails his feet and arms to Kaizer] LEMMEATIMLEMMEATIMLEMMEATIMLEMMEATIMLEMMEATIMLEMMEATIM!!!

Kaizer: [coughs as he holds onto his neck with one hand] Geez, what a psycho.

Shageki: (To Kaizer) Are you okay?!

Kaizer: I'm fine. My cousin has a really short temper.

Shageki: I can see that...

(Back at the G.U.N base...)

Doctor 3: (Is carrying Dismal back to his room)

Dismal: *whimper*

(Suddenly...)

???: Dismal!

Dismal: H-Huh?

(It's Doctor 2!)

Doctor 3: Ah, Karina.

Dr. Karina: How is he doing...?

Doctor 3: Poorly, I'm afraid. He has a fever of 104°, and when I tried to give him some medicine, he ended up vomiting it back out, so I had to inject it directly into his stomach....he also seems to be having nightmares...I had to move him to a high security room so we could keep an eye on him at all times.

Dr. Karina: Poor thing.....say, is it alright if I take him with me? There's a little pull-out bed in my office, and I could keep an eye on him...

Doctor 3: You would? (hands Dismal to Karina) Thank you so much. My worry is that if we did see something on the camera, we wouldn't be able to get to him on time...

Dr. Karina: Don't worry. I'll take good care of him. (walks away)

(Inside Dr. Katrina's office, she sets Dismal on the pulled-out bed.)

Dr. Karina: (To Dismal) Are you hungry at all?

Dismal: (Shakes head "no")

Dr. Karina: Well, you should still drink plenty of fluids. I'll get you some water. (leaves)

Dismal: (Rubs his stomach where he was injected with medicine) Oooooohhhhhhhhhh.....oowwwww.....

(Dr. Karina returns with a cup of water. She gives it to Dismal.)

Dr. Karina: There you go.

(Dismal obediently drinks the water and sets the cup on a nearby table.)

Dr. Karina: Now you should get some sleep.

(Then, Kairu rises out of Dismal's shadow.)

Kairu: Dismal. I got a feeling this lady ain't on our side. If you need me, just call, got it? I'll be there faster than you can say "Cattank Almighty". (vanishes again)

Dismal: Uhhh........*sigh* (lays down on the bed)

(Back with J and Shima...)

J: [covers his face with hands] I can't stand Kaizer and Vertigo doing ridiculous stunts that can easily cause them to get killed. I might as well ground them...

Shima: Are you sure they'll listen to you? They don't seem like good listeners...

J: I know. Maybe I can convince Cameron to make Kaizer and Vertigo listen to them.

Shima: Yeah, I think that would work.

(So J and Shima heads over to find Cameron. Back with Johnny...)

Johnny: Oh what to do, what to do...

(Johnny then sees Alyssa)

Johnny: [sees Alyssa; smiles and waves] Hiya, beautiful!

Alyssa: Hi, Johnny! (waves back, then runs up to him)

(Johnny and Alyssa runs torwards each other and they kiss each other on the lips)

Alyssa: (kisses Johnny) How are you?

Johnny: [kisses Alyssa] Pretty good. Kicking some Troll butt to relieve boredom.

Alyssa: Hmm.. Sounds fun!

Johnny: I know, right? Let's go make the Trolls cry like babies! [grabs and holds onto Alyssa's hand] You ready for this?

Alyssa: (nods) Uh-huh!

(Back at the IceClan Village)

Mickey: "Nothing much."

Tunndrae: Err...

(Back with J and Shima...)

J: [sees Cameron] Cameron!

[Cameron was battling the Trolls quite professionally.]

J: [uses Chaos Control to freeze the Trolls for a moment so he can say something to Cameron] Listen uhh Cameron... I'm having trouble with these two relatives of mine, Kaizer and Vertigo. These two always gets themselves into trouble and every time I tell them not to and that I can ground them, they just don't seem to listen to me...

Cameron: "I'm not a Babysitter..."

J: Ah well... [unfreezes the Trolls so Cameron can resume fighting against them again] Easy comes, easy goes, sis...

Shima: Yeah..

[Cameron continues to kill trolls.]

(Meanwhile, at the Troll League..)

Ronix: (once again in a fit of rage. He's throing things against the wall.) Grrrr! (he's still angry at losing Madeline)

Vic: Sir..W-We can always get her back...!

Roinx: Hmm..That is true.. Go! Get her back!

Vic: Yes, Ronix, sir! (he leaves)

Ronix: Be ready to come back home, Madeline...!

[Explosions are heard!]

Ronix: What the hell?! Grrr..!

(Back with Johnny and Alyssa...)

Johnny: [sees the Trolls, who are already smashed by Cameron] Darn... [turns to Alyssa] So much for kicking some Troll butt, Alyssa...

Alyssa: Aw...(pouts)

Johnny: Oh well... so... now what? We don't need Cameron's help, since he's pretty much can handle the Trolls on his own. What do you want to do, Alyssa?

Alyssa: Hm...I don't know..

Johnny: Maybe we can go adventuring together? We could find our friends during our journey.

Alyssa: (smiles) Sounds like a plan!

Johnny: [carries Alyssa onto his arms] Then let's go! [flies up in the sky using Flame Hover]

Primal Dialga!

[Cameron is still fighting the trolls.]

Alyssa: (snuggles into Johnny, then looks down at Cameron and the Trolls) I hope he'll be okay fighting those Trolls...

Johnny: [smiles] He will. [kisses Alyssa's forehead]
 * (Ryu-I say they should go to Hope Tower!)

(Johnny and Alyssa arrive at Hope Tower, but they don't know it at first)

Johnny: [looks at Hope Tower] Whoa...

Alyssa: What's...that?

(Meanwhile, Mantis and Rancor are still walking. It is an awkward silence as Mantis hasn't said a word)

Rancor: .......

Mantis:So what is your village like?

Rancor: It is inside the Fearful Caverns.

Mantis:Hmmm.... are all of these clans similar besides element of course?

Rancor: You could say that....

(Back at the FireClan Village...)

Vertigo: [hisses angrily at Kaizer]

Shageki: Look, cut that out.

Kaizer: Yeah, you get worked up over nothing.

(Vertigo then gives Kaizer the middle finger and runs from the village, screaming and crying)

Shageki: ........

Kaizer He... gave me the finger. Wow, that was nice of him. Not.

Shageki: *sigh* What should we do about him...?

Kaizer: My uncle will take care of him.

Shageki: Alright.

Kaizer: And Vert's such a big potty mouth because he swears for no reason. [shudders]

(Back with J and Shima...)

J: Hmmm...

(Suddenly, they can hear Vertigo yelling (random cursing) and crying)

J: Vert?

Shima: Is he..swearing?

J: Oh, he's gonna get grounded for life.

Vertigo: [approaches torwards Shima and J, his arms crossed and has a RAEG look on his face; mumbles] Hi, cousin J.


 * (Ryu-OH GOD THE RAEG FACE!! D:) [[Image:Rage_face.jpg|100px|thumb|right|*psycho music*]]

Shima: You don't look happy. What's up?

(Vertigo is too angry to answer Shima's question)

J: I know what's up. Kaizer and Vertigo were wandering off doing stunts that can potentially kill them.

Vertigo: [mockingly] All because Kaizer wanted me to make fun of the soldiers.

Shima: Soldiers? What soldiers?

Vertigo: Them "FireClan Soldiers"... They think they are oh-so powerful, well they are NOTHING!!

J: [facepalms] Oi....

Shima: (pinces bridge of nose) What did you do to them?

Vertgio: Caused mischief. That's it. It's not like we started a war or something, right?

(J freezes Vertigo, using Chaos Control as he and Vertigo are teleported inside the Glacian Nations HQ)

J: You're grounded until further notice, Vert! And I will get Kaizer and join you for performing those risky stunts. You could've gotten killed! [seals Vertigo inside the pod and teleports back to teh same location where Shima is]

Shima: So, how long is he grounded?

J: Until he learns how to behave well.

Shima: ...That's going to be a looooonng time, then.

J: Still, I can't stand these two always doing unnecessary risks that could cost them their lives, sis.

Shima: Hmmm...Maybe we should go and see these (gulps) FireClan Soldiers and see what your cousin and nephew did.

J: Yeah. [walks to find Kaizer with Shima following him]

(Later...)

Kaizer: [sees J and Shima] Uncle J!

(But Kaizer is suddenly frozen by J's Chaos Control)

J: Save your breath, Kaizer. I'm tired of babysitting you two, especially when you nearly killed yourselves. [teleports himself and Kaizer and the two are teleported inside the Glacians Nations HQ and seals Kaizer inside the pod, before teleporting back]

Shima: There, now you won't have to worry about them!

J: Indeed, sis.

(So J and Shima walk off from the FireClan Village in search for Ryu and the others)

(Meanwhile, back at the G.U.N base...)

Flare: Whew. This is tiring. (The fight had spilled from the surgery, with Semi-Perfect Flare and Voltage Tritec fighting Hyper Mac and Uber Angreh Tantrum.)

Tritec: How? I mean, neither of them would be a problem if we weren't trying not to destroy this place.

Flare: There you go. (Flare quickly smashes his palm into Hyper Mac's nose, making it bleed)

Hyper Mac: AAAGH!! MY NOSE!! You...you.....(strikes Flare with Hyper Chaos Fist)

(Flare takes the blow, and gets sent flying down the corridor even in his Semi-Perfect form)

Hyper Mac: HAHAHAHAAA!!

(Suddenly, Hyper Mac is hit by a big ball of light!)

Hyper Mac: UGH!! What the-?!

Flare: Wha...who....who could...

Tritec: Awesome! I really HAVE to learn that!

(Then a big ball of darkness smacks Hyper Mac in the face!)

Hyper Mac: UGH!!

???: What's up, Trolls?

(Standing there is Shanoa and Albus!)300px|right|thumb|Plays during the fight.

Hyper Mac: What? Where are my doubles? Where's Poison?

Uber Angreh Tantrum: AND DISMAL!!!

Semi-Perfect Flare: Heh, looks like our chances are back up!

Voltage Tritec: I'll say.

Hyper Mac: Grrr.....we're outnumbered now!!

Shanoa: I'll say you are. Acerbatus!! (she hurls a huge, brownish energy sphere at U.A. Tantrum)

(Semi-Perfect Flare and Voltage Tritec seem emboldened by this, with Flare dropping down into a breakdancer's basic stance and starting to lash out using a mixture of fire manipulation and breakdancing while Tritec used a basic spin attack on Hyper Mac, trying to knock him into Flare's onslaught)

U.A. Tantrum: (Is hit) RAAAAAH!!! Grrr....!! (retaliates with Fire Blast)

(Shanoa uses Rapidus Fio to dodge it easily, but Albus gets grazed by the attack.)

Albus: Ugh!!

(Hyper Mac manages to catch Tritec, and starts to apply pressure to the super-powered hedgehog spinball)

Hyper Mac: Blast me and I'll blast your friend!

Shanoa: !!

Semi-Perfect Flare: Trust a Troll to pull a dirty trick like this!

Albus: I hate dirty tricks! (points Agartha at Hyper Mac)

Shanoa: No!! (pushes Albus' arm away)

S-P Flare: Looks like we've got a stand-off.

Albus: So what do we do?

Hyper Mac: I want my people freed to me. That's my doubles, Poison, Toxic and Dismal, as well as any other Troll test subjects you're hiding from me. Otherwise, I blast your friend, then I get Rageik back here to deal with you.

Albus: Uhhh.....don't know who Dismal is....and we passed four bodies on the way in here....

S-P Flare: You're welcome to the bodies, although a Troll never dies. However, to get to Dismal, you'll have to find him. He's long gone from here.

Shanoa: (To Hyper Mac) So, as you can see, there's nothing here for you.

Albus: So get lost.

Hyper Mac: Of course. I shall, but this hedgehog is coming with me. His unique genetic structure will be perfect to create more beings from. As for this base...I bet you don't know what's down below here. (Mac pulls a radio out of his hair) Mac to Frost: Tell the clan we found the kidnapped members, they can claim them at will.

Shanoa: Wh...down below? What are you talking about?

S-P Flare: Oh, crap. G.U.N base...Elemental Clan members...this isn't good. Mac's trying to make us and an elemental clan think that there are prisoners below this base, which is built over the remains of a temple to Khazri...at least, that's what I'm guessing from the elemental energy buildup beneath the base.

Hyper Mac: Maybe, maybe not. You won't find out from me. (Hyper Mac and U.A. Tantrum both Chaos Control out, taking Tritec with them. Flare powered down, sweating profusely)

Flare: Great...If I'm right, we'll have a swarm of angry aerokinetics on this place rather quickly, maybe a few days tops. Any way we can protect it?

Shanoa: Ummm....

Flare: I mean, I can bring in about 20 people, tops. Nothing greater than that, and their powers aren't exactly straight and clear-cut. Most of them use more than one element, and none have ties with any elemental clan...bar a single member who is hated by a 'consultant' for the Wind Clan.

Albus: A consultant?

Flare: Teacher, consultant, troll-killer, what else can you call him? He's an insane hedgehog who kills Trolls. A Troll hunter. He's insanely powerful, and a master of Wind abilities if there ever was one. His powers....can kill someone in minutes by removing all oxygen from every breath of air they breath, or just cut off their ability to manipulate elements, be it through unconsciousness or just lack of oxygen.

Shanoa: Geez......

Albus: Hey, is that Dismal guy still here? Ain't he a Troll too?

Flare: I don't know if he's here or not. I hope he's not, because there has to be someone in the Trolls who can trace him, and so find him here, giving them a reason to get him then get out before the Wind Clan gets here, otherwise they'll wait for them to finish before looking. Still, if he is, there might be something we can find out through him...

Shanoa: Maybe we should look?

Flare: Yeah, we should. (Flare's wings start to form on his back, as he prepares) I'll do a quick fly-over to the other side, then look around there.

Shanoa: Okay. Albus and I will look over here.

Flare: Right. (Flare leaps out the shattered window, his wings opening to full size as he flew off)

(Shanoa and Albus run down the hallway. Meanwhile, in the Windy Valley region, in the WindClan Village...)

Hurikale: Are the soldiers ready to leave?

Tatsuma: Yes sir.

Blackmoon: Now, did anyone say there were Trolls involved where we're going?

(A female deer scout nods.)

???: It was one of the Trolls that told us that some of our people were begin held captive at the G.U.N base.

Blackmoon: AND YOU LISTENED TO HIM??? (Blackmoon clenches his fist, emitting a small burst of air from it; the scout steps back in fear) No matter. I'll go visit this Troll once we are finished, and pay my respects.

Tatsuma: Very well, then. We leave.

Hurikale: Good luck.

Blackmoon: We don't need luck as long as we bear the signs of Khazri!

(The soldiers yell triumphantly. Hurikale smiles.)

Tatsuma: G.U.N will pay the price for turning our people into lab rats!!

(The soldiers cheer again.)

Tatsuma: Onward!!

(The soldiers cheer yet again as Tatsuma and Blackmoon lead them out of the village. Meanwhile, in Dr. Karina's office...)

Dismal: (Lying awake) *sigh* Why does this stuff keep happening to me...? What did I do to deserve it...?

Demental (voice): It's because you're a bad little boy, Dismal.

Dismal: Wha..?!

Demental (voice): Yes...you deserve to be punished...

Dismal: (Covers his ears) Leave me alone...!!

Demental (voice): Don't think you can ignore me, worm!


 * (Now would be a good time to call Kairu...)
 * (Ryu-Yeah....)

Dismal: K-Kai-

Demental (voice): You think that bat can help you?! Ha! You don't deserve help, Dismal! No one likes you! They can't stand you!

Dismal: K-K-K-Kai-

Demental (voice): Shut up, worm!!

(A vicious stab of pain pierces Dismal's head.)

Dismal: AAAAGH!! (clutches head) Kairu!!

Part 8
(Meanwhile...)

(Fou is seen flying in the sky over FireClan territory. Two small figures are seen pursuing him on foot...)

???: It's getting away!

??? 2: Not on my watch!

(The male wolf pulls out a bow, nocks an Ice arrow onto the string, and draws back, aiming at Fou.)

??? 2: Begone, damned firebird!! (releases the arrow)

Fou: *sighs* I can't believe Statyx gave me my first solo mission! I get to go meet this "FireClan" all on my own! Yippee!! *does a loop-de-loop in the air, inadvertently dodging the arrow*

Wolf: Dammit....(nocks another arrow, draws back and releases)

Fou: *hears something whizzing through the air* Huh? *looks down and sees the arrow flying towards him* Wahh! *barrel rolls, dodging the arrow*

Wolf: *growls* Die, spawn of Fiamme!! (shoots another arrow at Fou)

Fou: *sees the arrow* Grr! *blasts it with a fireball* Watch where you're shooting those things!

Wolf: (To his companion) Help me out here, Arktilises!

(The female hedgehog node and pulls out a bow of her own. She nocks an arrow in the string, draws back, and releases.)

Fou: Whoa! *barrel rolls again, narrowly dodging the arrow*

Wolf: Nevermore will you menace the people of Kyanos, beast of the flames!! (shoots another arrow at Fou)

Fou: That's it!! *blasts the arrow with a fireball, then sends another one at the wolf and the hedgehog.)

Wolf: Look out!!

(They jump out of the way.)

Fou: And that was a warning shot!!!

Wolf: Wretched firebird!! (nocks another arrow) In the name of Kyanos, DIE!! (releases)

Fou: Whoa!! *dodges to the side, but the arrow hits his arm before he can get out of the way* Ha-ha! Your arrows can't pierce my arm-guards!

Wolf: They are Ice arrows, firebeast!

Fou: What're those?

Wolf: Arrows that freeze things solid, specifically designed to destroy beasts of fire like you!

Fou: Huh? *his arm suddenly starts being covered by ice* Wah!!

(The wolf grins.)

Wolf: See if you can stay airborne now!

Fou: *starts flying away, but finds it difficult to stay airborne*

Arktilises: He's going near the FireClan Village. We should leave, Xeadas.

Xeadas: Right.

(So the two leave.)

Fou: *keeps trying to stay airborne, but the extra weight of the ice makes it difficult for him to maintain balance, and taxes his stamina*

(Fou is almost directly above the Fire Village now. Fou's stamina gives out, and he starts falling to the ground.)

Fou: WAAHHHH!!!!

(Fou continues to fall, hitting and breaking or bouncing off of tree branches before hitting the ground rather hard. Chaleur, who was out looking for medicinal herbs, hears this.)

Chaleur: What the-?! (runs over to the sound and finds Fou) Good Lord!! Are you alright?!

Fou: Oooooooooohh.... *barely conscious*

Chaleur: Dammit.....(calling out) Shageki!

(Shageki the Fox comes running over.)

Shageki: What is it?

Chaleur: It's...well, I think it's a firebird....but he's hurt! And his wing's frozen! (grabs Fou's arms) We need to get him some help!

Shageki: Right! (grabs Fou's legs and they carry him to the medical hut)

(In the medical hut, they set Fou on a mat.)

Fou: *groans, then loses consciousness*

Shageki: We've got to get that ice off his wing.

(So they begin to work on removing the ice from Fou's wing. After that they tend to his other wounds.)

Fou: ..........

Shageki: Will he be okay?

Chaleur: I think so...

Fou: *groans again*

Shageki: I think he's waking up.

Fou: *groans again, his eyes slowly flutter open*

Chaleur: Hey...are you okay...?

Fou: Mmmm.... h-huh...?

(Shageki and Chaleur are sitting quietly next to Fou.)

Fou: Huh? *looks around* Where am I?

Chaleur: You're in the Fireclan Village, in the medical hut. You took quite a fall....

Fou: I did?

(Fou sits up quickly, causing Shageki and Chaleur to jump and worry.)

Fou: I feel alright...

Shageki: Are you sure...?

Fou: Yeah... *rubs his head* Though I have a nasty headache. *looks at Shageki and Chaleur* Did you two help me?

Chaleur: Yes. We are the Fireclan medics, after all.

Fou: And you two took care of a complete stranger like me? *smiles at them* Wow, you two are really nice couple!

Shageki: Why thank y-wait...did you say couple?

Fou: Yup. I said "Wow, you two are a really nice couple!"

Chaleur: But...w-were not married...

Fou: *looks at Chaleur quizzically* I never said you were. I just said you two were a really nice couple.

Shageki: But "couple" technically means married, or something beyond a simple friendship....

Fou: *looks at Shageki* And you two don't have that?

Shageki: *blushes* W-Well...

Fou: *keeps looking at Shageki. However, his gaze trails downward, seemingly to her bust*

Shageki: *blushes* Um, e-excuse me...!!

Chaleur: (To Fou) What are you doing?!

(Fou's gaze however, is actually on Shageki's stomach. He reaches out a hand and puts it on Shageki's belly.)

Shageki: !!

Chaleur: I think that's quite enough-

Fou: Warm...

Shageki: Wa...warm...?

Chaleur: ???

Fou: *keeps his eyes concentrated on Shageki's stomach, lightly rubbing it* It's small, but it's definitely there.

Shageki: Wh-What is it?! What's there?!

Chaleur: You don't mean...

Fou: *looks up at Shageki, keeping his hand on her stomach* You have a little warmth inside your tummy.

Shageki: A.....A warmth...?

Chaleur: *thinking* My God....

Fou: Yeah... *looks at Chaleur* You're it, aren't you?

Chaleur: I....I........oh dear.....

Fou: You're the father of her baby, aren't you?

(Chaleur lets out a shuddering sigh.)

Chaleur: I am......

Fou: But... you're not supposed to have a baby. Not with each other anyway. Are you?

Chaleur: Well, it wouldn't be considered.....appropriate....

Fou: Taboo?

Shageki: Not exactly....

Chaleur: What would everyone think of us if they knew that we, the trusted medics, were involved in an affair like this?

Fou: It wouldn't be good?

Chaleur: No...it wouldn't....

Fou: Well, is there anybody you can tell?

Shageki: We're afraid not...

Fou: Well, what will you do? You can't exactly hide it forever.

Shageki: We'll have to face it when the time comes.

Fou: But what will your clan do when they find out?

Chaleur: We're not sure...this has never happened before, at least not during out time...

Shageki: Our clan has always lived by the rule of "abstinence until marriage". If we were married, everything would be fine...

Fou: But because of your positions, that isn't so simple, is it?

(Shageki and Chaleur look at each other.)

Fou: That would be a "no"?

Shageki: A "no", indeed...

Fou: Do you know what will happen when you're found out?

Chaleur: No.....we'll possibly be exiled.....

Fou: Well, that isn't so bad. At least you'd still have each other, and your kid.

Shageki: True.....

Fou: Yeah! *gets up, runs over to Chaleur, grabs his hands, and drags him over to Shageki* After all, you two love each other enough to have a kid, don't you?

Chaleur: Y-Yes, of course...!

Fou: You too, right.... uhh....

Shageki: It's Shageki. And I suppose you're right... *blushes, and puts her hands on her stomach*

Chaleur: (Puts his arm around Shageki) I just hope we'll be ready when the time comes...

Fou: Why wouldn't you be? You're medics, aren't you?

Chaleur: Well, yes. But if we were exiled...we don't know what lies beyond the Red Mountain region.

Fou: Well, is there any way to avoid exile?

Shageki: I don't think so...

Fou: Well, it's not fair! People shouldn't be punished because of who they fell in love with! I should talk to the guy in charge right now, and make him let you two stay! *starts walking towards the entrance*

Chaleur: W-wait...!!

Fou: What?

Chaleur: You're going to let them know NOW?!

Fou: Yeah! I'm a master pyrokinetic! I can take on any...

(A tall, imposing figure walks up and stands at the entrance.)

Fou: *looks up at the figure* .....Body...

Drakath: Ho-ho, I see that your little patient that you brought in is up and about.

Chaleur: Yes he is, sir.

Drakath: Hm... *looks at Chaleur and Shageki, noticing Chaleur's arm around Shageki* ...and you two seem rather close today as well.

Shageki: Uhh...

Drakath: *lets out a hardy laugh that's almost like a roar* No need to explain! *looks at Fou* I'm sure it's just the effect of having a young one around.

Chaleur: Yes, of course.

Drakath: *looks at Chaleur and Shageki* Of course, you could show a level of formality in front of your leader.

Chaleur: Ah...sorry, sir. (removes his arm)

Drakath: And Shageki, you seem red. Are you ill?

Shageki: N-No, sir.

Drakath: *walks up to Chaleur and Shageki* Well that's a good thing! *pats Shageki on the back, almost knocking her over* It would be a pain if one of our medics fell ill! *lets out another hardy laugh*

Shageki: Yeah, it would...

Drakath: Ha-Ha! As soft-spoken as ever Shageki!

Shageki: Yeah...

Drakath: Oh, lighten up Shageki! You'll never catch a husband if you don't learn to speak up!

Chaleur: He's right, Shageki.

Shageki: *looks at Chaleur, somewhat surprised and hurt*

Chaleur: (Gives her a look that says "play along")

Shageki: *eyes widen as she realizes what Chaleur is doing*

Fou: *stomps up to Chaleur* Hey! That's not a very nice thing to say!

(Chaleur gives Fou a look that says "play along".)

Chaleur: I do apologize, but Shageki is a very quiet person.

Fou: That's still no excuse! You shouldn't talk to her like that, especially when she's-

(Chaleur's eyes widen, fearing that Fou will spill the beans.)

Drakath: Ho-ho, calm down little fella! *pats Fou on the head* Chaleur can be a little rough, but it's all said in good fun!

Chaleur: Yes. Shageki's a marvelous woman, who will make a marvelous wife someday.

Shageki: *looks at the ground, blushing. Her hands on her stomach*

Drakath: RAHAHAHAHA!! Honestly Chaleur, you just seem to from left to right whenever Shageki is concerned! *slaps Chaleur on the back, knocking him down*

Chaleur: WAH!

[SFX: THUD!]

Drakath: You had better make up your mind, before someone else snatches up Shageki! RAHAHAHA!!

Chaleur: Right...(gets up) But.....medics aren't supposed to have a relationship...

Drakath: I know that Chaleur! I am FireClan's leader after all! You'd think that Shageki's good humor would have rubbed off by now.

Chaleur: Ah...right....

Drakath: RAHAHAHA! *looks at Fou* You know, I don't think I've heard the name of your patient.

Chaleur: I don't think I have either...(to Fou) What is your name?

Fou: My name's Fou.

Chaleur: *nods* Fou.

(Back within Dismal's mind...)

Kairu: (appears) You rang?

(Dismal is still clutching his head. Demental glowers at Kairu.)

Kairu: Oh, naughty, naughty. This is a no-psychopath zone. Here's your ticket! (hands Demental a slip of paper)

Demental: Grrrr.....(the papers bursts into pitch-black flames)

Kairu: AND HERE'S YOUR FINE!! (punches Demental in the face)

Demental: Ugh!! GrrrrrrRAAAAAAGH!! (uses Force Palm on Kairu)

Kairu: (ducks, grabs Demental's arm, and flips him) Dismal! This is YOUR mind! You have the upper hand here!

Dismal: H-Huh?!

Demental: (Trips Kairu with a sweep kick) No he doesn't!! He's a pathetic, hateful, cowardly worm!!

(With J and Shima, they go to the G.U.N base and find Dismal/Demental)

J: What the heck is going on here??

(Dismal is curled up on the pull-out bed, clutching his head and moaning in agony.)

J: [walks, but stops, knowing that something is wrong to Dismal] Something ain't right here....

Dismal: Ooowwww.......ooowwwwwwwwww.........

J: [to Dismal] Are you okay? [opens his hand and releases some of his Chaos energy to Dismal (as his strength recovers, although unaware that Demental is controlling Dismal)] Are you okay now?

Dismal: *moan*

(J helps Dismal up to his feet. He promptly collapses against J.)

J: Easy there. You're safe with me and Shima. Can't believe you took quite a beating.

Dismal: Oooooohhhhhhhhhh.........

(Then Dr. Karina walks in!)

Dr. Karina: What's going on here....?

J: He's hurt really bad for no reason. I managed to heal him, though.

Dismal: Uuuuugh......

Dr. Karina: He still looks roughed up...

J: So... maybe I can Chaos Heal him?

Dr. Karina: Would it cure a fever?

J: Hmmm... I've never tried Chaos Heal on sick people, but I'll give it a try! [places his hand onto Dismal's head] CHAOS HEAL!

(The Chaos Heal heals some more of Dismal's wounds, but he still looks ill.)

Dismal: ........

J: Great... Chaos Heal heals injures, but not sickness...

(Dismal starts to cough.)

J: Ah, geez. I wonder if there's medicine for his cough and fever.

Dr. Karina: There is, but not in here. I'll go get it. (she leaves)

(A few minutes later, someone else walks in...it's not any of the doctor's that we've seen before.)

J: What the--?

Doctor: No need to worry. I'm merely here to see how the patient is doing.

J: Okay...

Doctor: (Kneels down next to Dismal)

Dismal: (Sitting against the bed) Oooooohhhhhhhhhh.........(looks up at the doctor) Wh-Who.....?

Doctor: Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you.

(Dismal automatically cringes away from the doctor. Kairu fades up behind J.)

Kairu: There's more than one mind in there.

J: I see...

(Meanwhile, With Akemi and Valeria)

Akemi:Almost to my destination Valeria, can you handle yourself?

Valeria:I was going to ask you the same.

Akemi:Don't forget our enemies have the same abilities as we do.

Valeria:Don't worry, I'm the best electrokinetic there is...

(Back with Johnny and Alyssa near Hope Tower...a female wolf watches them from a balcony. She is then joined by a male ferret.)

Johnny: [looks around while using Flame Hover (whilst carrying Alyssa onto his arms) this looks huge...

Ferret: Hmph. Talk about no respect for privacy...

Wolf: Shh. Let's just see what he's up to.

(Johnny lands on the ground and walks around Hope Tower, as he holds onto Alyssa's hand whilst wandering)

Ferret: Hmph. He thinks he can just waltz on in here...

Wolf: Enough, Llachar.

Johnny: [ear twitches] Hmmm... thought I heard someone... [rubs his ear] Meh. Must be my imagination.

(The wolf and Llachar the Ferret continue to follow Johnny and Alyssa unseen.)

Llachar: Hmmm......(to the wolf) Did you see how that fox got in here, anyways? He seemed to use fire....

Wolf: Fire...?

Llachar: Yes....he could be a spy for the Fire Clan!

(The Wolf and Llachar finds Johnny, sitting next to Alyssa as the two watch the sky (they are having a romantic time together))

Llachar: *vehement whispering* Oh, so he thinks he can have a honeymoon here, eh? (jumps down from the balcony)

Wolf: *whisper* Llachar, no!!

Johnny: [ears twitch] Huh? [looks around] Who's there...? [resumes looking at the sky]

Llachar: ...... (stalks towards Johnny)

Wolf: Dammit! (jumps down from the balcony)

Johnny: Hmmm... I have a feeling that I'm getting stalked on... [slightly out loud] If you're going to try and kill me, don't bother. I'm not going to blow this wonderful place sky high.

Llachar: ! (stops) .......

Johnny: If you want to kill me, fine. You just don't want me to spend my time with my girlfriend.

Llachar: That doesn't give you the right to enter LightClan Territory without permission!

Johnny: Hey, this si the first time, okay? I don't even know where I was, until I found this wonderful place so i decided to visit here. Geez, at least greet us for once.

Llachar: Feh! Excuses!

Wolf: (Runs over) Llachar, that's enough!

Johnny: [turns to the Wolf]

Wolf: Please forgive my friend here...he doesn't take kindly to strangers.

Johnny: [sighs]

???: "And I take it this tower is huge..?"

Johnny: Huh? [turns to the figure]

Llachar: *growl* Who now?!

[It appears to be a Wolf...but no doubt, he's a Spitfire Ranger.]

Llachar: .......

Alyssa: Who the...?

Johnny: Who are you?

[The Wolf takes off his helmet, it's Josh!]

Llachar: *growl* Who're you?!

Joshua: "Joshua."

[His Hands are glowing with Holy and Darkness Energy. Llachar sees this.]

Llachar: Darkness and Holy energy...?

Joshua: "I'm one of a kind.."

Llachar: [Takes a step back, wary] But...but how....?

Joshua: "Having a Dark and Holy Personality has it's tracks."

Llachar: ...........

(Johnny and Alyssa are mysteriously dissapeared...)

Part 9: Mind Games
(Back in the G.U.N base....)

Doctor: (Picks Dismal up)

Dismal: Wh-What are you d-d-doing?!

J: [pats Dismal's head, comforting him]

Doctor: Yes, it's alright. I'm going to help you. (he leaves the room)

Dismal: N-No, wait!! NO!!

(A few minutes later, in the examination room, the doctor sets Dismal on the table, and straps him down on his back.)

Trainee Doctor: What do you want me to do, sir?

Doctor: Get me a muzzle.

TD: Yes sir! (passes him a muzzle)

Doctor: (Forces the muzzle over Dismal's mouth)

TD: (helps)

Dismal: MMMPH!! MMMMMPH!!!

(The muzzle is eventually forced over his mouth.)

Trainee Doctor: What do you want me to do, sir?

Doctor: Get me a syringe.

Trainee Doctor: Okay! (hands him a syringe)

(The doctor takes the syringe, grab's Dismal's head and tilts it, revealing his throat.)

Dismal: (Struggling as best as he can) *muffled sobbing*

(The doctor sticks the needle directly into his throat. Dismal lets out a muffled scream. He then begins to call Kairu telepathically.)

Kairu: (appears behind Doctor, and puts a finger to his lips)

Doctor: !!!

Kairu: (sigh) This is why I am not a ninja... (a shadow slams into the Doctor)

Doctor: GAH!!

(The image of a winged wolf appears on the walls...)

(Back with Johnny and Alyssa...)

Johnny: [cuddles his face onto Alyssa's chest, with his arms wrapped around her]

Alyssa: (sighs) Too bad we couldn't get into that tower..

Johnny: That guy threatened to kill me...

Alyssa: (hugs Johnny) I know. But he won't get us here. (growls at the memory)

(Johnny then starts to cry)

Alyssa: (soothing voice) Ssshh, ssshh..It's alright..

Johnny: [voice breaking] It's that... he has... no respect for us...

Alyssa: Well...Not many people like him do...I guess..

Johnny: [cuddles onto Alyssa's chest, soft cries]

(Back near Hope Tower...)

Joshua: "I am the Ranger of Unity...."

Llachar: Unity...?

Joshua: -_-'

Llachar: Well.......are you going to tell us exactly why you're here?

Joshua: "I chose to explore around, I'm quite amazed by this tower though..'

(This seems to anger Llachar. His grip tightens on the hilt of his sword.)

Llachar: Another "explorer"?!

Wolf: Llachar!!

Llachar: I will not have it!! My blade was forged to defend the children of Celeritas!!

(Suddenly...)

???: And you are doing a fine job of defending, Llachar.

Wolf: ?!

Llachar: ?!

Joshua: "Who are you and why the Hell should I care?"

(The stranger appears to be a male hare. He has an oddly wise aura...)

Luminore: My name is Luminore. I am the leader of the Light Clan of Celeritas.

Joshua [quickly]: "I'm Josh."

Luminore: (Light bow) Welcome, Josh.

Llachar: S-Sir, he came in unannounced-

Luminore: He is no enemy to us, Llachar.

Joshua: "So, nice tower you got here."

Luminore: Why thank you.

Joshua: "No problem.."

(Back in the hospital, Kairu continues to beat the snot out of the doctor.)

Kairu: (slams the doctor into the wall by his collar) Why are you doing this?

Doctor: I only wish to see this creature's level of endurance. How much pain he can handle...

J: But I thought all Doctors were supposed to heal the injured.

Kairu: Psychopath! That's a living being! Not some ragdoll!

J: [to Shima] Something's not right here, sis...

Shima: (nods) You're right..

(J and Shima cautiously approach towards the Doctor, who is still being restrained by Kairu.)

J: [to the Doctor; in a serious tone] Okay, now who are you? I know that Dr. Carson's nurses would NEVER do that to us.

(Meanwhile, back with Tatsuma, Blackmoon and the WindClan soldiers, nearing the G.U.N base...)

Tatsuma: We're here.

Blackmoon: Excellent.

(Inside...)

J: [ear twitches] Hmmm... we've got company... [looks around]

(J searches around for someone who went inside the G.U.N. Base, but heads back (since he has to keep an eye for the Doctor if he tries to harm Dismal again). Suddenly, a massive gust of wind shatters the nearby window!)

J: [hears window shattering; swiftly looks around] What was that?!

(More windows shatter; a female voice calls out.)

???: We've come to reclaim the villagers, G.U.N!

J: "Villagers"? No wonder my sister hated G.U.N. a lot...

???: Bring them out to us, and perhaps we won't attack!

J: [confused; thinking] ''I've never heard of villagers before. The only villagers I saw were from Angel Island.''

??? 2: *quiet* They're not responding...

???: Very well.

(Something leaps through the window; it appears to be a female spider!) She is followed by various other Mobians!)

J: [sees a female spider and the others; still confused] .....

(The female spider pulls out a katana.)

J: [sweat drops] Great... I'm gonna get stabbed to death for no reason...

???: Hmph. (lowers blade) You don't serve G.U.N, do you?

(One of the Mobians, a male catbat, looks at J.)

??? 2: He could be another captive...

J: "Captive"? And no, I don't serve G.U.N. Just ask my sister. [motions his head to Shima] By the way, the only one who's "captive" is him [points to Dismal] and that insane doctor who is trying to "cure" him. [points to the G.U.N. Doctor]

???: (Points to Dismal) Get him out of there, Vendaval.

(The catbat, Vendaval, nods and runs over to the table. He jumps onto it and cuts the straps restraining Dismal. The spider walks over to the doctor and points her katana at him.)

J: [to the G.U.N. Doctor (the same person who tried to hurt Dismal)] Now, you'd better think twice about hurting Dismal.

(Dismal is panting heavily.)

Shima: (looks at Dismal) You okay?

Dismal: (Looks at Shima; he seems to be trying to speak, but no sound comes out!)

Shima: (eyes narrow) What did you do to him? Or is he too scared to speak?

Doctor: ............

Dismal: (Grasps throat; making wheezy noises)

Shima: (rushes over to Dismal; glares at the doctor) What did you do?!

Doctor: Hmm...seems he lost his voice as a side-effect from the muscle relaxant.

Shima: (growls) You people make me sick...! (looks at Dismal) Don't worry, we'll help you.

J: [slides his thumb across his throat (making a cut-throat gesture) to the Doctor; to the female-spider] He's all yours... [turns to Shima, and helps Dismal]

???: (To the others) Go look for our people. I'll take care of this one.

J: [turns to the Doctor] Now, to make sure you're out of your misery... [places his hand onto the Doctor's head] CHAOS CONTROL! [freezes the Doctor solid, before turning back to Shima]

Shima: What should we do with him? (points to Dismal)

J: We gotta take him somewhere safe...

Shima: Hmm...My place?

J: [nods "yes" to Shima]

Shima: (nods) 'Kay. (turns back to Dismal) Okay, we're going to take you somewhere safe, okay?

(So the three are teleported somewhere safe. Back with Johnny and Alyssa...)

Johnny: [stops crying]

Alyssa: (smiles) Better now?

Johnny: [looks up to Alyssa, and nods] Uh-huh...

Alyssa: Good...

Johnny: [cuddles his face onto Alyssa's chest, with his arms wrapped around her; muffled voice] I love you, Alyssa...

Alyssa: (strokes Johnny's hair) I love you too, Johnny..

(Alyssa them starts humming (which is almost like a lullaby song))

Johnny: [falls asleep from Alyssa's humming (he gets sleepy when he hears a lullaby song)]

(Back with Shima, Dismal and J...)

Shima: (teleports everyone to Ruby's house) Here we are!

J: We're at mom's house!

Shima: Well, yeah! It's the only safe place I could think of..

J: For now, right Shima?

Shima: (nods) Right.

Dismal: ..............

???: "Yield."

J: [ears perk up] "Yield"?

[Cameron was against the wall, cocking his H-BCR.]

Cameron: "Care to explain the meaning of this?"

(Dismal begins to whimper.)

J: [looks behind and sees Dismal whimpering; thinking] Mom's not gonna like this one bit...

Cameron: "Answer me."

J: [quickly turns to Cameron and nods "yes" nervously]

Cameron: "Then do so."

Dismal: .........

J: Dismal was being hurt at the G.U.N base, so Shima and I brought him here.

Cameron: "More detail."

J: What more detail do you need? I was just protecting Dismal.

Cameron: "What I'm saying is what were they doing to him?"

J: The G.U.N. Doctor attempted to "cure" Dismal (as in torturing).

Cameron: "Proof?"

(J motions Cameron to come over here as J places his hand onto Dismal's head and fins out about what's happening)

Cameron: "So he sees it as Torture..." -_-'

Dismal: ..........

J: Yeah, and not only that, he was treated wrongly by the Trolls.

Cameron: "Already heard that part."

(Dismal is hiding under the couch for some reason...)

J: [sees Dismal] Is something the matter...?

Shima: Uh...(walks over to the couch where Dismal is hiding under) It's okay...You're safe here.

Dismal: *shakes head*

Shima: (sighs) Look, my mom won't care if you're here or not. She'll most likely want to help.

J: Yeah. [mumbles to himself] Although I hope my lil' sister won't freak out about Dismal...

(They hear footsteps coming)

Shima: And I think that's her. (goes to meet her mother)

(J turns to see his mother, Ruby)

Ruby: Good evening, kids. (notices Dismal) Uh..Why is that hedgehog hiding underneath the couch?

J: [thumbs over to Dismal] He's very shy, mom.

(Dismal retreats fully beneath the couch.)

Ruby: (goes over to the couch and crouches to see him; holds out her hand) Come 'ere, sweetie! I'm not going to hurt you!

(Dismal simply sits there, quivering.)

Cameron: [in a Darker, Colder voice] "Answer me...."

[Cameron puts his Nova Sunglasses on. J and Shima becomes slightly terrified over Cameron's dark and evil voice.]

Dismal: (Pokes his head out from beneath the couch)

[Cameron's eyes glow red behind his sunglasses.]

Dismal: !!! (retreats beneath the couch again) *whimpering*

Shima: Uh...(backs away from Cameron)

Ruby: ?

J: [whispers to Shima; still freaked out from Cameron] I have a bad feeling about this, sis.

Shima: (nods)

Cameron [Imitating Wesker]: "Tell me now."

(Dismal sneaks out from beneath the couch, wanting to get away from ScaryFace Cameron.)

Shima: They were injecting all this stuff into him.

(Dismal is still skulking away.)

Cameron: "Aw no you don't."

[Cameron grips Dismal, who yelps, and puts him back in place. He then scans his body for shots. Dismal is shuddering heavily.]

Dismal: (Cowering away from Cameron)

Cameron: "Hold still blast it!"

(Dismal obediantly sits still, but he is still shaking.)

Cameron: "The only trace I've found injected, is a drip of a Sistaralyne chemical."

Dismal: .............

J: Something's weirding me out...

Cameron: "Meh."

[Cameron begins to walk away.]

Shima: "Sistaralyne"...?

J: I don't know what that is.

Dismal: (Starts rubbing his throat as if it hurts) .......

Ruby: (to Dismal) Are you okay..?

J: [checks Dismal]

(Dismal still cannot speak.)

J: Hmmm.... [moves his open hand onto Dismal's head, but stops]

Shima: Something wrong?

Dismal: .............

J: Something's not right with Dismal...

Shima: Like...?

Ruby: (studying Dismal closely)

Dismal: *slightly ragged breathing* .........

(J places his hand onto Dismal's head and J sees Dismal's evil self, Demental!)

Demental[Telepathy]: Welcome back, boy!! AHAHAHAHAAA!!

J: Uh oh. We got trouble, sis.

Shima: (growls) Mom, get out of here!

(Shima places her hand onto Dismal's head. Dismal, terrified, attempts to back away, but he is already against the wall.)

Ruby: (puts her hands gently on Dismal's shoulders)

(Inside Dismal's mind with J and Shima, they confront Demental)

Demental: (Evil grin)

J: C'mon, sis! Let's wipe that grin off of his face!

Demental: You just don't get it, do you? You have no say here! You can't do a THING! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Shima: (growls) Oh yeah? (uses Chaos Missile on Demental)

(Demental dodges.)

Shima: >:(

J: Okay then... CHAOS CONTROL! [freezes Demental in his tracks]

(Somehow, Dismal unfreezes himself!)

Demental: You still don't get it? Tsk tsk...looks like I'll have to BEAT it into you!! (generates pitch-black fists that fly at J and Shima)

Shima: Wah! (jumps out of the way)

J: [jumps out of the way as well] Man, he's worse than Tantrum!

(The fists slam into the wall (which resembles a dungeon wall). Outside Dismal's mind, he feels this! He throws himself to the ground, clutching his head. He cannot scream, but it is obvious that he's in agony.)

Ruby: AH! (thinking) Oh no...What do I do?!)

(Dismal curls into a ball, still clutching his head.)

Ruby: Uh...Uh..! (holds Dismal in a motherly manner) (thinking) Please hurry..!)

(Back inside his mind...)

J: [his Chaos aura appears and it surrounds his body]

Shima: (hands glow with Chaos Energy)

(Pitch-black fire surrounds Demental.)

(Then, J and Shima are turned into Chaos J and Super Shima!)

Super Shima: (smiles) Bring it!

(Demental grins evilly, and transforms into a vile, serpentine beast, pulsing with black fire!)

Demental: I can become whatever I please here! You don't stand a chance!

Chaos J: Well neither will you!

(Demental spews a burst of pitch-black fire at the two hedgehogs. The two dodges expertly and launches a barrage of Chaos Spear at Demental. The fire hits the wall, causing Dismal more pain.)

Demental: (Dodges the Chaos Spears) Even if I miss, it's a win-win situation for me!

Super Shima: He's right..

Chaos J: Even so, he may be powerful, but not invincible.

Demental: I grow tired of these games. DIE!! (slams his tail into the ground, making pillars of darkness shoot up beneath J and Shima)

(The two super forms dodges the pillars and unleashes a powerful team attack known as Chaos Unity, which blasts Demental into a wall! He gets up, turned back to normal.)

Demental: *growling* I've had enough of you!! BEGONE!! (he forces J and Shima out of Dismal's mind and back into reality)

(Back outside Dismal's mind...)

J: [groans]

(Dismal is still curled into a ball, shaking badly.)

Shima: Ugh...

Ruby: !! Are you okay?!

Shima: Ugh...I-I think so...

Part 10: One Year Ago
(Meanwhile, a bit far away from Hope tower, Llachar is walking. He seems troubled.)

Llachar: *sigh* Why is this happening? Why now? We've never had problems with outsiders since last year.....(he sighs again and sits down)

(Flashback...)
 * (Ryu-I'll do the flashback part.)

(A cloaked stranger is seen approaching Hope Tower. He is limping. Llachar is outside, and he sees the figure.)

Llachar: Hmm? Who goes there?

Figure: A weary traveler, good sir. I am in need of medical attention; my leg is injured.

Llachar: Of course. (he gently takes the stranger's hand and leads him inside)

(Inside...)

Figure: Thank you so much. (takes off his hood)

(The stranger is really Tonic the Hedgehog! But Llachar has no idea who he is.)

Llachar: It's no trouble at all. I'll take you to our medic.

(Llachar leads Tonic to a room where the medic, Aurinko the Cheetah, is waiting.)

Aurinko: Hello, Llachar.

Llachar: Greetings. (he motions to Tonic) May I request your services? His leg is injured.

Aurinko: Of course. (she takes Tonic by the hand) Don't worry, I'll help you. (she leads him away)

Tonic: Thank you.

(Later, in the hospital wing, Tonic is lying on a bed. He waits for the room to empty before pulling out a sort of walkie-talkie.)

Tonic: It's Tonic. I'm inside the tower. Begin the assault.

(Meanwhile, Llachar is seen sitting on a balcony, watching the stars. He suddenly sees strange dots in the distance!)

Llachar: What the...? What are ''those...? (squints, trying to get a better look) ''

(They appear to be thousands of Trolls and Elite Pingas Cyborgs!)

Llachar: Wh-What the...?! (jumps down from the balcony and runs off)

(A few minutes later, Llachar finds Luminore the Hare, the current Clan leader (his mother, Ilia the Hare, had passed leadership to him only a week ago.)

Luminore: Llachar? What is it?

Llachar: We've got company. I don't know if they're hostile or not, but there ARE thousands of them...!

(Flashback end...)

(Meanwhile, back in the G.U.N base, the WindClan soldiers are attacking the G.U.N soldiers!)

???: "SILENCE!"

[A Missile hits the ground, toppling everyone over, except for the female spider (Tatsuma), who backflips out of the way. A Black Ops Champion walks in.]

G.U.N Soldier: WTF?!

Black Ops Champion: "Tell me what the Hell is going on.."

Tatsuma: G.U.N has captured some of our people! They deny this, though!

[The Black Ops Champion takes off his helmet, revealing to be a resurrected Shahooter.]

Tatsuma: Who are you?

Shahooter: "I am what you may call Windlord."

[He appears to be the boy who was possessed by Khazri before. Suddenly, all the Elementals emerge, wearing the Flow-Walker armor Flare had worn before. Julian kept watching for Blackmoon, who forced himself to beside Tatsuma)

Blackmoon: Those soldiers seem familiar to me...

Tatsuma: Are they enemies?

Blackmoon: Possibly...his Aero signature is precise.

Tatsuma: If he gets in our way, then we will destroy him!

[The WindClan soldiers get into battle stances. The G.U.N soldiers don't know what to think. The Glacian Troops just blink at them, Shahooter is staring at Tatsuma.]

Tatsuma: ...............

Vendaval: May I ask why you are gawking at our general?

Shahooter: "I'm not gawking I'm staring."

[Shahooter's signature Wind Marks appear on his hair.]

Vendaval: Staring, then. Why are you staring?

Shahooter: "Note my Hair..."

Tatsuma: Wind markings...

Shahooter: "Oui."

Tatsuma: I see you've been blessed by Khazri.

Shahooter: "And you must be Tatsuma."

Tatsuma: I am.

Shahooter: "My name is Shahooter Windshallow, former commander of the Glacian Army, now I'm lower than Cameron in rank."

(Julien starts to slide forward, but Ebony places her hand on his shoulder. Blackmoon notices the movement)

Blackmoon: Somebody's eager to fight us. Remove your helmet, boy, and I'll consider a personal challenge.

Shahooter: .....

[Shahooter's helmet is laying on the ground...]

Julien: Yo, owl-man, he's talking to me. (Julien undoes the straps on his helmet, knocking it off with a single concentrated breath. Blackmoon grins cruelly)

Blackmoon: The challenge remains, and is increased. Tatsuma, that is my former apprentice Julien. He is immensely talented, but doesn't serve Khazri.

Tatsuma: I see...

Shahooter: "Figured, I'm used to being called Owl-man."

Flare: Sorry, Shahooter, Jules doesn't know your name.

Julien: Now, I shall just take 30 seconds and prepare. (Julien disappears in a burst of wind)

Shahooter: "Once again, figured."

(The WindClan soldiers watch and wait patiently. Except for Vendaval, who eyes the other Elementals.)

Vendaval: (to Oluja, the deer scout) Are these Mobians...assisting G.U.N?

(Oluja shrugs. A battle-scarred male dragonfly scowls.)

Uraganas: If they dare impede our mission-

Shahooter: "Who said we're assisting these jokers? We are Glacians."

Uraganas: We mean them. [points to Julien and his team]

[Shahooter facepalms. Julian reappears, looking very different. His dreadlocks had tripled in length and flowed backwards like hedgehog spines. The central ones were so long, he had tied them together and they flowed down in a ponytail. Flare was the only Elemental not surprised.]

Flare: No, We're not helping GUN, but we are here to stop you killing innocents, not to mention the fact that a mass-murderer is one of your number...

Blackmoon: They're trolls! They deserve death!

Flare: (quietly) You cannot kill a Troll. Oh yeah, nice that you finally found a more powerful form, Jules.

Julian: I call this my Unleashed form. Now, Blackmoon, will you yield or must Tatsuma witness your defeat at the hands of another Wind-type master?

(Blackmoon looks at Tatsuma, a micro-expression flickering across his face. Flare and Siobhan, masters of Electricity, both caught and recognised the expression: helplessness, mixed with fear of looking like a fool and partial attraction. He nods, turning to face the Elementals.)

Blackmoon: I shall discuss this with my commander, so a cease-fire is to be declared. For now, that is.

(Back with J, who is driving the Desert Hawk trophy truck, he pulls over outside of the G.U.N. HQ)

Desert Hawk: Now what, J?

J: I don't know. Maybe we received a distress call?

Desert Hawk: Maybe.

(Inside, Vendaval's superior hearing alerts him to J and Desert Hawk's prescense.)

Vendaval: (To Tatsuma) We got company.

(Outside...)

J: I don't know... we shouldn't be here, Desert Hawk. [starts up its engine, shifts the transmission gear to 1 and drives away]

(However, the trophy truck runs out of fuel!)

Desert Hawk: [is crawled to a stop (since it ran out of gas)] Out of fuel.

J: Awww c'mon! [looks around] There isn't a gas station nearby... [climbs out of the Desert Hawk and pushes the truck from behind (with the Desert Hawk steering tis way to the gas station)]

(Inside...)

Vendaval: (Ear twitches) They're leaving...

Shahooter: "They ran out of gas."

Vendaval: They'd better not come back here...

[Uraganas flies up to the window and sees J and Desert Hawk leaving (although J is struggling to push the Desert Hawk, since it ran out of fuel).]

Uraganas: Good thing. We don't need any spectators.

(J stops pushing the Desert Hawk and sits down)

J: [pants] This is too tiring. [sees a Chaos Emerald from the ground] Cool! A Chaos Emerald! [grabs a red Chaos Emerald from the grassy ground]

[A Tiger pops up from a trapdoor hole.]

J: [sees a Tiger] What the--??

Desert Hawk: Who was it, J?

???: .....

[Staring at J, he appears to be Fire-stripes....]

J: [to the Desert Hawk] I don't know... [turns to the mystery person] ....

Fire-stripes: "Ahem..."

J: Who are you...? [puts his red Chaos Emerald inside his pants pocket]

Fire-stripes: "Cory, don't confuse me with the Blade Dragon."

J: Then I'm J.

[Cory (Fire-stripes) is still glaring at J, perhaps the Chaos Emerald was his? Uraganas is still looking out the window, and he sees Fire-Stripes.]

Uraganas: ...........

Shahooter: "Oh boy, Fire-stripes is easy to flare..."

Uraganas: "Fire-stripes"? I take it that's the tiger out there?

J: [looks at the red Chaos Emerald, sighs] What's the point of getting this Chaos Emerald... Even with that, it won't take the Desert Hawk to the nearest gas station...

Fire-stripes: ....

[Fire-stripes begins to push Desert Hawk with incredible strength.]

(Awesome Scene, DING, it's coming up.)

Desert Hawk: I am taken to the gas station, J.

J: Cool! [follows Fire-stripes, who is pushing the Desert Hawk (who ran out of gas)]

Uraganas: Well, they're leaving. (jumps down from the window)
 * (Ryu-Hey Kagi, what would Statyx think of the WindClan soldiers invading the G.U.N base?)

G.U.N Soldier: *thinking* Why hasn't Commander Tower noticed anything?

[With Cameron...he appears to be running from Toxodisia. While the "Benny Hill" theme plays. Benny Hill stops when Cameron leaps on the Building and Toxodisia only grips the roof.]

Cameron: "Hah-hah, follow me now, B****!"

Toxodisia: Grrr......(tries to climb up)

[Cameron jumps into a wagon full of Hay, he's pulled away on the wagon. Meanwhile, back with Johnny and Alyssa...]

Johnny: [wakes up]

Alyssa: Zzzz..

Johnny: [sees Alyssa sleeping, smiles, then lightly kisses her in the lips as he cuddles his face onto her chest again]

(The next morning...)

Johnny: [hugs Alyssa as he wakes up]

(Johnny then notices the room has gotten fairly colder. He looks around and sees icicles haning of random things)

Johnny: What the--? I thought I was back home...

Alyssa: (wakes up and looks around) Uh, Johnny...When did we get to the North Pole..? (sneezes)

Johnny: Not sure, Alyssa. I know we were at my hosue, right? [uses Body Heat on Alyssa, giving her warmth]

Alyssa: (teeth chattering) Th-Thank y-you..I kn-know we're at y-your h-house....But wh-why is it l-like th-this..? (sneezes again, and this time, icicles shoot out of her mouth) Eep! (covers mouth)

Johnny: [sweat drops] Weird...

Alyssa: (sneezes some more, causing her to send out more icicles) Uh..

Johnny: I don't get it... I thought I used Body Heat to prevent hypothermia you have, Alyssa.

Alyssa: I-I thought s-so t-too...(sneezes, but this time, a large pillar of ice comes out of the ground) WAH!!

Johnny: [starts to shiver (since he's starting to lose his fire powers)] W-W-Wh-Whoa... W-W-W-Weird...

Alyssa: O-Oh no! (looks around) Uh..uh...W-We need t-to get o-out of here, J-Johnny!

Johnny: [shivering] Y-Y-Y-Yeah... Snow... k-k-k-k-kills off my fffffire powers... [grabs onto Alyssa's hand] Let's... [coughs] get out of here...

Alyssa: O-Okay..(they get out of the house, and it is much warmer outside) Th-That's better..(continues sneezing, and more ice pillars come out of the ground) Ugh..Aw, man..

Johnny: Whoever turned my house into a winter wonderland... they better have... [coughs] insurance...

Alyssa: (guilty look)

Johnny: [looks at Alyssa (and she has a guilt look on her face) then turns away] I... I'm sorry...

Alyssa: It's okay..(looks at her hands) Wh-Who wou-would've thought I-I woulkd have i-ice powers..

(Suddenly, she is hugged by Johnny)

Johnny: [voice breaking; cries] I didn't mean to say things like that, Alyssa! I didn't know!

Alyssa: (shivering) I-It's okay, J-Johnny.

(Johnny stops crying and uses Body Heat on Alyssa, so she can't shiver)

Alyssa: (stops shivering slightly) Thanks..(thinking) Oh great, powers that'll make me freeze..(sighs))

Johnny: [hugs Alyssa] Something wrong, Alyssa...?

Alyssa: Huh? No, I'm fine! ^_^ (thinking) Hmm...Maybe someone knopws why I have these powers..)

Johnny: Okay ^_^. [kisses Alyssa's cheek, then lies his head onto her shoulder]

Alyssa: ^_^ Well..do you think someone might know why I got these powers..?

Johnny: Who knows. I think your powers are cool ^_^.

Alyssa: Thanks! ^_^

Johnny: No problem, Alyssa! [kisses Alyssa in the lips]

(Back in the temporary Wind Clan camp, Blackmoon was pacing, trying to think of a solution that would allow him to duel Julian and win, as well as talk to Tatsuma about the choice he faced. The WindClan soldiers watch the G.U.N HQ for signs of activity. Shahooter is zooming in on his visor, his soldiers on the other hand, are on the other side.)

Vendaval: .................

Uraganas: *snore*

Vendaval: (Lightly punches Uraganas) Wake up, Uraganas.

Uraganas: *snort* Whu..?

(Back in Ruby's house...)

Dismal: (Uncurls himself; he is still shaking)

Ruby: (looks down at Dismal with concern) Are you okay, dear?

Dismal: (Is trying to speak, but cannot)

Ruby: Hmmm...(she leaves the rooom for a couple of minutes, then comes back) I have some help coming for you. Maybe she can help you with your voice problem.

(Someone comes into the room, and it's Hali)

Hali: I'm here! What's the problem?

Dismal: (Tries to speak but cannot)

Hali: Hmm...(suddenly grabs Dismal's neck gently)

Dismal: !!!

Hali: (smiles reassuringly) Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you! Now...Chaos Heal! (Dismal's neck glows, and he can speak again)

Dismal: I....I can talk.....! (to Hali) Thank you!

Hali: You're welcome! ^_^

(Dismal suddenly reacts as if he just remembered something important.)

Dismal: Oh.....oh no....!!

Ruby: What's wrong?

Hali: ?

Dismal: (gets up) The Trolls are still after me......if I stay here, th-they'll attack....!!

Ruby: Trolls...?

Shima: (growls)

Hali: But if you leave, where will you go?

Shima: We can take the Trolls! No problem!

Dismal: B-But.....

(There's a loud banging on the door)

Vic (Voice): Open up! We know he's in there!!

Shima: (to Dismal) And I'm thinking those are the Trolls you're talking about?

Dismal: Uhh........

(The door crashes in as Vic comes in, flanked by Spade, Whisper and Miranda.)

Spade: There he is! (points to Dismal)

Ruby: (puts her arms protectivly around Dismal) Don't you dare touch this kid! >:(

Miranda: Give us the Troll, lady, and no one gets hurt!

Shima and Hali: Troll?! (looks at Dismal in surprise)

Dismal: *nods, looking ashamed* I-It's true....

Shima: >:(

Hali: But you don't act like one...

Vic: Enough chit-chat! (points a threatening finger at Ruby) Give us that damn Troll, NOW!

Shima: Hey, don't you threaten my mom! (tackles Vic)

Hali: (to Ruby and Dismal) You two get out of here!

Ruby: (nods)

(Ruby and Dismal run off.)

Vic: Hey, they're getting away! (grabs Spade by the scruff of his neck and throws him out the door) Go after them!

Ruby: (panting from running; to Dismal) Do you..know anywhere..we can be safe?

Spade: O-Okay, okay! (chases after Ruby and Dismal while Shima and Hali take care of the other three TL members)

(Suddenly, Spade is blocked by J!)

J: Don't... try it... [whips his arm on Spade] CHAOS SPEAR!

(Suddenly, something grabs J's arm!)

??? (Orange Silver recolor) Don't think about it, hedgehog.

J: What the--?!

(J notices that he was actually grabbed by the hedgehog's psychokinesis, for the Silver recolor is in a straigh-jacket and has a muzzle over his mouth. He grins, and his mouth enlarges, showing large, dark red teeth)

J: Who... are you...!?

???: The name's Psycho, and you, I'm guessing- (the muzzle falls off his mouth)- ARE LUNCH! (tries to bite a chunk of J's arm out)

(However, the bite goes through his arm, which is now coated in darkness! J is Dark J!)

Dark J: Actually, you're the one who's going to be lunch! [flies through Psycho, and his spine shakes violently]

Psycho: (laughs) You think that effects me?! (his head turns 180 degrees to face Dark J. A couple seconds later, the same happens with his body)

Dark J: Go ahead and laugh... [goes inside of Spade and controls him; in a Spade voice] Because I have your pathetic enemy at my possession. [smirks] Good luck trying to break free.

Psycho: (smiles a large evil smile; shrugs) Doesn't matter to me. He's a Troll, and if I eat him, he'll just regenerate! (lunges at Dark J/Spade with his mouth open)

Dark J/Spade: [smirks] I wouldn't think so. [grabs Psycho's open jaws and snaps it in half with Bulk Up (which temporarily builds up J's strength)]

Psycho: (yells in pain, then grabs his jaw and resets it) (moves his jaw to make sure it works) ...Ouch.

Dark J/Spade: [dark grin] Had enough? Or do you want me to rearrange that face of yours? [cracks his knuckles]

Psycho: (grins, baring all of his teeth) Bring it!

(Dark J/Spade charges torwards Psycho. However, to Psycho's surprise, Dark J/Spade uses Double Team, as a total of at least 20 more charges torwards him!)

Psycho: (smiles, and the straps of his straightjacket fall, allowing him use of his arms. He picks up some of the clones and start smashing them together with both his arms and his Psychokinesis)

(However, 5 other clones attacks Psycho, and he's off guard! The real Dark J/Spade blasts Psycho from behind with Dark Palm)

Psycho: Augh! (back cracks and twists, so he resembles a corkscrew)

Dark J/Spade: [grabs Psycho tightly by the neck] Looks like you have lost your lunch. But don't fret. You are the main course... [smiles, and Spade's teeth enlarges and is coated with darkness]

Psycho: (spines twists back to normal) Oh really? (mouth enlarges so it almost completly covers his head, then chomps down on Spade's head! Psycho pulls back, pulling Spade's head off with him!)

(Suddenly, Spade's devoured head is transformed into darkness and it goes inside of Psycho's brain matter, triggering immense fear, preventing him from attacking Dark J/Spade! Dark J is still able to control Spade, desite having his head devoured)

Psycho: What the-? (holds his head) Argh! What..What the HELL did you do to me?! (holds his head)

Dark J/Spade: Like I said, you ARE the main course. Despite that your possess your own Dark powers, mine is far superior, and even a menace like you cannot even try and inflict pain on me. Looks like your hunger has been satisfied, so allow me to give you a "just desserts", Psycho! [flies out of Spade's body and goes inside of Psycho's body, covering his heart with darkness, thus causing Physcho's heartbeat to slow down to a stop]

Psycho: !!! (collapses)

Dark J: [emerges out of Psycho's body, smirks] For such a deadly name, even a Troll, hence your name, isn't feared of anything, but fear itself. My darkness has slowed your heart rates down, so it's instant death for you. I may be the new "Psycho" but I am not like you. Think of me as a "nightmare to your worthless dreams". [flies away so he can meet up with Ruby, hali, Dismal and Shima]

(Back with Shima and Hali, Dark J arrives)

Shima and Hali: (standing with an unconcious Vic, Whisper and Miranda)

(Shima's Dark aura surrounds her. Strangely, it's not turning her into Dark Shima as the two looks at Dark J)

Shima: (to Dark J) Why aren't I changing?

(Then, Dark J is turned back into his original form, and he falls onto his one knee as he pants heavily)

J: [pants heavily] I have never... tried... possesing people... before... [slowly lies down onto the ground]

Hali: (places J onto a couch) There..

Shima: You possessed someone?

(J nods, although he is having a hard time saying something to Shima, due to his short of breath)

Hali: (sues Chaos Heal on J, giving him back his breath)

J: Thanks, Hali.... [pats Hali's head weakly] As I was saying, this was my first time I took control of a Troll before. I was taking on against a cannibal Troll...

Hali: Cannibal?!

Shima: (winces) Oooohhh...

J: [smiles weakly] But don't worry. I took him down with ease... so now he's the main course. Thankfully... I'm not bitten. [his body does not show any teeth marks]

Hali: Oh, that's good.

[Cameron is in a cart full of hay, waving at them.]

Shima: (sees Cameron) Cameron?

Cameron: "Yes hi, now, if a Hedgehog W****, not you Shima, nor you Hali, stops by and asks where I went, point to the f***ing river."

J: [goes to sleep]

Shima: Uh, okay..

Hali: Why? Who;s looking for you?

(J never sleeps like this before. However, it's not an ordinary sleep, as his forehead shows signs of symptoms for his fever!)

Shima: (looks at J) J...? (feels his forehead) Sh-!

Hali: What's wrong?

Shima: He has a fever!

(J's fever slowly rises, making his forehead (and later his head) warmer and warmer by the minute!)

Hali: (places her hands on J's head) Chaos Heal!

(Nothing happens (since Chaos Heal is mean't to heal the injured, but not for the sick)... although Hali did stop the fever, J's head is still warm)

[Cameron throws a canister out of the cart.]

J: [slowly opens his eyes and sees Cameron] H.... Huh... [coughs weakly from his fever]

Shima: Huh? (grabs hte canister) What's this?

(J lies back down again, although his fever emerges again as his head becomes warmer and warmer by the second (and his head starts sweating)!)

Cameron: "Have him drink it god blast it!"

Shima: Okay, okay! (has J drink from the canister)

J: [weakly opens his moth as he gets ready to drink the canister Shima was holding onto]

Shima: (pours whatever was in the canister into J's mouth)

(J swallows it. In an instant, J's fever is gone!)

Cameron: "Thank my ass later."

J: [wakes up and is better] What happened...?

Shima: You had a fever, but Cameron fixed you up.

J: [nods] I don't know how I got that fever, but I'm glad it's gone...

Hali: Us too!

J: [smiles to Shima and Hali] Thanks, you two. I'll thank Cameron later also.

Part 11
(Meanwhile, with Ruby and Dismal...)

Dismal: I...I think they stopped chasing us....

(As they are walking, Dismal suddenly steps in a bear trap!)

[SFX: CRUNCH!]

Dismal: !!! (grabs his injured leg) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

???: Well well well, what's THIS we caught?

(Toxic, Tonic, Putty, Ghost and Nightshade step into view!)

Toxic: Well, that's not a bear; it's Dismal!

(Nightshade ties Dismal's hands behind his back.)

Ruby: Hey! (grabs Nightshade and throws him into a tree)

Nightshade: AAAAGH!

[SFX: WHUD!]

Nightshade: Ow...

Ruby: You leave this boy alone! >:(

(Dismal begins to cry in agony as Putty grabs him. Toxic, Tonic and Ghost get in front of Ruby.)

Ruby: (eyes narrow) I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Ghost: Whaddaya gonna do, hit us with your purse?

Ruby: No, not with a purse. (she holds her hand out, and a saber made out of Chaos Energy appears) With this!

Tonic: Oh..... O_o

Toxic: No problem. (he unsheathes his sabre and coats it in Chaos energy)

Ruby: (smiles) Mess with me, child, and you'll regret it!

Toxic: *grins* I'm not a General in Rageik's army for nothing! It sure would be a shame to wreck that pretty face...

Ghost: Save your lechery for later, Toxic! We came here for Dismal and nothing more!

Ruby: (to Toxic) Hahaha, nice try with the flattery, kid. I'm over 450 years old. I recognize flattery when I see it. (charges towards Putty with her saber)

Putty: !!

Toxic: *whistles* Over 450 years old, and still one hot mama!

(Ghost slaps him.)

Toxic: OW!!

(Putty attempts to use Dismal as a living shield.)

Ruby: (expertly twirls around Putty and slices him in the back)

Putty: [Staggers forward]

Toxic: Putty, get back to the Moon base!

Putty: *nods* (Chaos Controls away)

Ruby: No! (ears droop)

Toxic: Let's vamoose. (Chaos controls away along with Ghost, Tonic and Nightshade)

Ruby: (looks down sadly before teleporting away)

(Back at Ruby's house...Ruby teleports in.)

Shima: Mom!

Hali: Uh...Where's that hedgehog Troll?

Ruby: He was...taken.

J: Darn...

(Meanwhile, with Ronix...)

Ronix: (slams his fist on his desk) Damn it! They got him AGAIN!

Vic: (covered in cuts and bruises) I-I'm sorry, sir. We can go and get him back-

Ronix: No, I have someone...Someone better. PSYCHO!

Psycho: (comes in with his straightjacket hooked up and his muzzle back on his mouth) You called?

Ronix: (smiles evilly) I have a little mission for you..

(Meanwhile, Valeria is now alone she has almost reached the Electrical Clan, she is dashing/skatign forward she is going very fast)

Valeria: *Over Communicator* I have nearly reached my destination, do you copy?

Akemi: *Over Communicator* Loud and Clear, Val, good luck. *static*

Valeria: *Hangs up communicator* Interference, I must be close.

[Valeria runs into someone.]

???: "Gah!"

Valeria: *Sees Person* Not really a people person *Switches to Vanessa* Oh, my I'm so sorry!

???: "It's okay..."

Vanessa: Sorry, but I should probably get going... *begins walking the same way she was going*

[The boy appears to be a Fox, looking at his scrapped hands.]

Vanessa:*sees his scrapped hands* Oh, let me help you up (extends hand)

[Meanwhile, back at Stormy Ridge...]

Voltassa: Hmph. They haven't come back.

Shingai: I doubt they will. You can never trust outsiders.

[Meanwhile, Cameron's rolling down a hill in the hay crate.]

Cameron's thoughts: 'I hope That b**** won't find me.'

(The crate happens to roll right into the Ruins of Sephazer! It rolls past two soldiers, a female mole and a male rat.)

Mole: WTF?!

[The Crate breaks and Cameron falls out.]

Cameron: "S***!"

[Cameron faceplants in front of the mole and the rat. The rat unsheathes a dagger. Cameron raises his head up.]

Cameron: "Heeeey, I know you guys, you people are with Temblor right?"

(The mole and the rat look at each other, unsure of what to say.)

Mole: Why were you in that crate...?

Cameron: "A S*** was chasing me."

Rat: A s***....?

Cameron: "A Girl that flirts with everyone, but the worst part is...."

[Cameron whispers in their ears.]

Mole/Rat: Eeewwwwwww........

Cameron: "In-deed."

Rat: Well then.....uh........

(Meanwhile, in the Troll Moon Base, in Bubonic's lab, Putty appears with Dismal in tow. Then Toxic, Tonic, Nightshade and Ghost appear. Putty throws Dismal in front of Bubonic.)

Bubonic: Excellent...

(Dismal looks up at Bubonic, whimpering. Bubonic kneels down in front of Dismal.)

Bubonic: You tried to run again, didn't you?

Dismal: *whimper*

(Bubonic pulls out a splintery wooden paddle, and Dismal yelps in terror.)

Dismal: N-N-No, please- (tries to back away)

(Putty stretches his arms and grabs Dismal.)

Toxic: Now, now, Dismal, you've been naughty, and playing around with our enemies! Although that chick is a little young, I'm impressed by your taste...

Bubonic: A-HEM!

Toxic: ...but not by your treachery. Paddle away, Bubonic!

Bubonic: (Raises the paddle) Gladly!

(Bubonic swings the paddle, striking Dismal in the rear. He lets out a wail.)

Bubonic: You know this hurts me more than it hurts you...(swings again)

[SFX: SMACK!]

Dismal: WAAAAAAAAUUUUGH!!

Bubonic: Ah, I'm just kidding! (swings again)

[SFX: SMACK!]

Dismal: ''St-Stop it, p-p-please!! I-I'm s-s-s-sah-hah-hah-orry!!''

[SFX: SMACK!]

(5 minutes later, Bubonic has Putty drag Dismal back to his room (which closely resembles a prison cell) and throws him in. Nobody bothered to remove the bear trap, and Dismal pulls himself onto his bed, where he curls into a ball and begins to sob. Meanwhile, back at the temporary Wind Clan camp near the G.U.N base...)

Vendaval: They're not doing anything...

Uraganas: Maybe we could...sneak around?

Oluja: They have snipers.

Uraganas: So do we. (nods at a male hedgehog) Ookaze's the best archer in the clan. He can shoot someone in the eye from 100 yards away.

Ookaze: Well it depends if the target's wearing a helmet or not...

Uraganas: If anyone can take out enemies from a distance with ease, it's him.

Oluja: But the G.U.N soldiers will come after us if they see we killed one of their men...

Ookaze: Then we only target their snipers.
 * (Ryu-What does Blackmoon think of this?)

(Meanwhile...)

Madeline: (thinking) I wonder where Dismal is...)

(Suddenly, Psycho appears!)

Psycho: (smiles at Madeline) Well, well, well..What have we here?

Madeline: Eep! (cowers away from Psycho)

Psycho: (advances towards Madeline) Now don't be afraid...(smiles, showing all his teeth)

(Suddenly, a bullet pierces Psycho's shoulder!)

Madeline: !!!

Psycho: Aurgh! Who the- (turns to see who shot him)

(A Mobian wearing a tan jacket, with a black undershirt and dark blue jeans, is standing behind Psycho, holding a gun!)

Psycho: Grrr...! (his muzzle falls off his mouth) What do you want? Can't you see I'm about to get my lunch, here?!

???: A cannibal, I see...
 * (Ryu-Hey, I wonder how Psycho would fare against Carnage...)
 * (Shima: We'll just have to wait and see! ^_^)
 * (Ryu-Yes. But it'll require Shanoa to turn into her Cerberus form.)
 * (Shima: Hmm.....)
 * (Ryu-?)

Psycho: (arm straps come loose, freeing his hands) So? What's it to you? (makes a grabs for Madeline)

(The stranger expertly shoots Psycho in the hand!)

???: I've seen some pretty nasty things in my life, but I think cannibalism tops them all...

Psycho: (examining his hand. He flexes it, and both the stranger and Madeline can hear his bones scrapping together inside.) Hmm...Ouch.

Madeline: (frozen in terror)

Psycho: Let me ask you: why are you saving this kid? She'll just regenerate anyways after I eat her. Who said I was going to eat all of her?

???: I hardly think she deserves to die in slow, bloody agony, even if she does regenerate.

Psycho: Hmph. Like I care! (pics up a nearby rock with his Psychokinesis and throws it at the stranger) Now stay outta my business! (turns back to face Madeline)

(The stranger easily sidesteps the rock and points his gun at Psycho again.)

???: If I shoot again, the bullet will kill you. Now get away from her.

Psycho: (growls, then lunges at the stranger, his mouth becoming bigger than his head to eat him)

???: (Fires a bullet right down Psycho's gullet)

Psycho: (swallows the bullet, then starts to choke; collapses) D-Damn it...! I gotta...keep my big mouth...shut...(dies)

Madeline: !!!

(The stranger twirls his gun, then reholsters it. He looks at Madeline.)

???: You okay?

Madeline: (shaking in fear, but nods)

???: (Looks at Psycho's corpse) You...know this guy?

Madeline: (shakes her head no) H-He must be a n-new recruit for the T-Troll League..

???: Well, let's get out of here.

Madeline: O-Okay...But I'm, uh, looking for someone..

???: Who?

Madeline: My, um..(blushes) friend..

???: Okay.

Madeline: Th-Thank you!

(So the two of them go off to find Dismal. Meanwhile with an extremly angry Ronix..)

Ronix: THOSE IDIOTS!! Can't anyone do anything around here?! (growls angrily) Fine. I'll go look for that ruddy Troll myself!! (he disappears)

(Meanwhile, back in the Fire Clan village...)

Chaleur: So...um...

(Back in the Troll Moon Base...)

Kaizer and Vertigo: [imprisioned inside the dungeon (because they were captured by the Trolls); yells frantically and they shake the cell door bars] GET US OUTTA HERE!!!!

Solar: OY!! SHUT UP!!

Kaizer: Make me! [sticks his tongue out at Solar]

Vertigo: No! Me! [makes a teasing sound (since he's a child)] NYEAHNYEAHNYEAHNYEAHNYEAHH!!!!!

Solar: (Pulls out "Vixen" and fires bullets above Kaizer and Vertigo's heads (not hitting them)

Kaizer and Vertigo: [hear the shots from Solar's Vixen and run around and scream like little girls] AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!!!

Solar: Heh. (lights up a cigarette)

Kaizer: [stops screaming and sees Solar smoking a cigarette] Hey, you can't do that!

Vertigo: [stops screaming and also sees Solar smoking] Yeah! That's against the LAW!

Solar: (Blows a smoke ring at the two) It's only against the law if your underage.

Kaizer and Vertigo: [coughs from the smell of Solar's cigarette smoke]

Solar: Hehe...

(Meanwhile with Ronix...)

Ronix: (finds Psycho's dead body) Grrr!! (kicks it) Damn idiot cannibal Troll...(disappears again, this time reappearing on the moon) Okay...How the hell did I get here?! (spots the Troll Moon Base; smiles evilly) There you are! (disappears and reappears in the base) Now, where are you hiding...?

(Meanwhile, with Dismal in his room...)

Dismal: Zzzzzzz......(unconsciously paws at his rear, which is covered in wood splinters and dried blood; the pain wakes him up) OW!! *whimper*

Ronix: (ears perk up as he hears Dismal yell) Ah ha! (runs towards Dismal's room)

Dismal: (Looks at the bear trap still no his leg) What am I going to do about that bear trap...?

Ronix (Voice): I can help ya with that.

Dismal: H-Huh?! Wh-Who s-s-said that?!

Ronix: Aw, don't tell me you don't remember me. (he materializes through the wall) Hello again, Dismal.

Dismal: R-R-Ruh-Ronix...!!

Ronix: Yes. (eyes narrow) It's time you pay for what you took from me. (Madeline) And after that, you're coming with me.

Dismal: N-N-No! P-Please!!

Ronix: (grabs Dismal by the neck and squeezes his neck) Time for you to die!

Dismal: *choking* (paws at Ronix's hands)

Ronix: (squeezes harder) Nobody's here to save you, not that wretched fox Troll or any other Trolls!

(Suddenly, Ronix hears footsteps...)

Ronix: (ears swivel towards the sounds) Huh?

(Someone fumbles with the cell door, trying to open it...)

Ronix: (growls) You're too late! (snaps Dismal's neck)

[SFX: SNAP!]

Dismal: Uuugh.....(dies)

(The door opens, it's Bubonic and Rageik!)

Rageik: RONIX!!

Ronix: Ah, Rageik. So good to see you! (drops the dead Dismal) >:)

Bubonic: How DARE you kill my guinea pig?! That's MY job!!

Ronix: Guinea pig?! THAT'S what you used him as?! He has far more potential than that! Plus- (kicks Dismal's body)- he had to pay for what he stole from me.

Rageik: I don't care what he took from you, and I don't care how much "potential" you believe he has! How dare you invade my base?!

Ronix: (evil, taunting smile) Just to get him back. And besides, I'm a Troll, and I'm doing what some Trolls do best! (disappears with Dismal) (laughter)

Rageik: Grrrr!!

[Back with the imprisoned Kaizer and Vertigo, a clacking is heard.]

Kaizer: EEK!

Vertigo: [panicked] MONSTERS!!!

Kaizer: [panicked] WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

(The two runs around inside the dungeon cell, screaming. Actually, it appears to be Cameron's Quilava! What in the world would he be doing here!!? And why is he staring at Solar the Troll?)

Solar: Whaddaya lookin' at, you little weasel-rat thing?

Solar (Quilava): "You stole my name...."

[Solar (Quilava) continues to stare.]

Solar: Your name's Sola-OMG DID YOU JUST TALK?! :O

Solar (Quilava): "Derp dur hurr."

Solar: Holy-

Solar (Quilava): "And I'll kick all of your asses, pathetic wretches. Excluding the imprisoned kids."

Solar: (pulls out Vixen) I'll turn you into Swiss cheese, weasel-rat! (begins to fire)

[Solar (Quilava) dodges the bullets easily, he seems highly fast, he fires a Molten Rock which hits Vixen and causes it to overheat.]

Solar: GAH!! (starts "juggling" Vixen) HOT HOT HOT!!

[Solar (Quilava) then leaps on Solar the Troll, punching him across the face with TempestPunch.]

Solar: UGH!! (melees Solar (Quilava) with Vixen)

[Solar (Quilava) lets off a yelp, but he then leaps at Vixen with his sharp teeth. As he grips on Vixen, he starts to tear it apart with his teeth!]

Solar: ACK!! Get off!!

[Solar (Quilava) responds by TempestPunching Solar the Troll in the crotch.]

Solar: UGH!!

[Solar (Quilava) is now finished decimating Vixen.]

Solar: M-My gun......YOU WRECKED ME GUN!!!

Kaizer and Vertigo: YAY!!!!

[Solar (Quilava) then TempestCombos Solar.]

Solar: AAAAGH!!

[Solar (Quilava) then TempestPunches Solar the Troll in the neck, using the electricity to shock his Jugular.]

Solar: AAAAAAUUUUUUGH!!!

(Back with Ruby, J, Shima and Hali...)

J: [feels a sharp sense inside his head] ....

Shima: (looks at J in concern) Are you okay?

(Although J doesn't respond, he does say something)

J: [quietly] He's... dead...

Hali: Who's dead?

J: [talks normally; looks down sadly] Dismal.

Shima: Oh...

Ruby: (wipes her eyes (she kind of got attached to him in their short while (like he was a son to her)))

J: [sighs, then has a sharp sense again] .....

(Meanwhile, the G.U.N base was full of the sounds of a weapons master training another Elemental with swords, with Flare trying to teach Julian how to block a thrown knife or a guy with trench knives. The noises reach Vendaval's keen ears.)

Vendaval: ....do you guys hear that?

(The other soldiers creep a bit closer to G.U.N HQ and listen. Indeed, they can hear the sounds of sword-fighting!)

Oluja: What's going on in there...?

Vendaval: Sounds like.......a training session.....

Shahooter: "Hmmmm...."

Uraganas: Training...? But for what?

Vendaval: I say we spy on them. (to Oluja) Are you and the other scouts up for this?

Oluja: You bet!

Vendaval: Ookaze will cover you guys. Good luck.

(So Oluja, Himmelen, Vitesse and Ookaze leave. Meanwhile, in the Troll League base, Ronix arrives with Dismal...)

Dismal: ................

???: "Dopa dopa dopa dopa....."

(Dismal finally revives. He's being dragged by Ronix.)

Dismal: Wh....wh-what's g-going on....?

???: "This."

[Ronix is suddenly shot in the leg!]

Dismal: !!!

Part 12
(In the G.U.N Base, Mitch watched Flare in a training duel with Julian - Flare having revealed a customized pair of trench knives that he channeled Wind energy into to extend his strikes, something Flare didn't struggle with considering he hadn't shown any ability with Wind-based abilities, while Julian fended off the blows with a sword made of what Flare called 'Wind Ore', a metal charged when mined with Wind energy. Ebony and Sara watched on the sidelines, as if trying to compare which one looked better, which surprised Mitch, because Sara rarely showed an interest in anybody. He twitched as he detected movement in one of his water-based motion detectors outside the base and leapt over a wall to check it. It was Ookaze and the three scouts; Ookaze had his bow out, an arrow nocked into the bowstring. Mitch's right hand rested on his sword as his left hand slowly caused the water in the trap to flow out over the scout's shoes, before suddenly freezing it)

Himmelen: What the-?!

Vitesse: We're stuck! It's ice!

Oluja: But...but how-?!

(Mitch steps around the corner, drawing his sword in the same movement)

Mitch: Be careful when there's water around, because something might just...grab you. Since you're...riveted to the ground, you won't mind me calling the others to have you taken inside for questioning? (Mitch notices the arrow and taps his sword) I bet Blackmoon wouldn't appreciate a broken treaty if it means he has to fight Julien sooner, so either I free you and you go tell him that Julian's training, which is no lie, or you attack and I take you prisoner. Your choice.

Ookaze: (Lowers his bow) Very well......but Oluja, Himmelen and Vitesse return with me.

Mitch: Agreed. (Mitch reversed his grip on his sword, stabbing it into the ice with intense force, enough to cause it to shatter.) Let it be said that I have honor: I will not attack you once you leave unless you feel the need to provoke me. (Mitch makes a shooing gesture) Now, go.

(Ookaze turns to leave, motioning for the three scouts to follow him. When they return to the temporary WindClan base, Ookaze walks over to Blackmoon.)

Ookaze: Apparently, the one you call Julien is training...

Blackmoon: Hmmm. If he is training against a swordsman, then I am advantaged. If he's training against someone with another element, then doubly so. Thank you, soldier, for providing me with this information.

Ookaze: (Nods)

(Meanwhile, back in the G.U.N base...)

Katarina: I'm bored.

Stephan: Oh, come on sis, you can't be THAT bored.

Kat: Try me. Seriously. I'm going for a walk. ALONE.

Siobhan: Sure you don't want any company?

Stephan: Leave her, Siobhan. She's in a mood.

(Kat storms away, looking for a section she hadn't been before. Indeed, there was a section guarded by a pair of G.U.N soldiers. Intrigued, she cloaked herself in shadows and slid inside, into a prison...there are some G.U.N scientists inside.)

Kat: What on Earth...? (She slides closer to the scientists, hearing what they were saying)

Scientist 1: Seriously, this tech is supposed to be ancient, but some of it looks recently used for crying out loud!

Scientist 2: Dude, that's because you were swinging that sword around yesterday. It's the actual tech we should be looking at, not ancient weapons or scrolls.

Scientist 3: I feel like we're being watched...

Scientist 1: You always do.

Scientist 4: Our captives aren't telling us anything either.....

(A young, male skunk glowers at the scientists.)

???: That's because you have no business disturbing artifacts of Khazri!

Scientist 1: Actually, because it's underneath our base, we have all right to be moving them. Now, tell us why there's an army outside.

Scientist 2: They DIDN'T know that until you said it then, idiot.

???: !! (turns to fellow captives, a female kuwagata and a male hedgecat) Did you hear that?! We're going to be saved!

Scientist 3: How foolish to believe that a group of beings united by a single element can defeat members of the Glacian army, the Elemental group and our soldiers! I don't see how they CAN win.

??? 2: But you have no right to keep us locked up like this!!

Scientist 2: And you have no right to trespass, especially considering that this shrine collapsed on it's own.

??? 3: But why experiment on us too?! Can't you just let us go?!

Scientist 1: Awww, and we didn't get to try the method I read about from Bubonic...

Scientist 2: We aren't Trolls. We don't torture, or use that guy's methods. We're only trying to map the part of your genetics that allows you to use that element.

Scientist 1: So we can make a super-soldier! (The others facepalm) Just kidding. So we can help you locate diseases caused by genetic mutations.

??? 2: You're lying! You're only going to experiment on us!

???: ...........

??? (Shahooter): "I heard that..."

[Shahooter was leaning against the wall.]

Shahooter: "Basically, our members are trying to make peace with the clans."

Kat: I heard that too. (Kat released her hold over the shadows, letting them go flying away) You MONSTERS! I think we should let the Wind Clan in here, just to stop you guys!

Scientist 2: Miss, don't be hasty...

[Shahooter looks at Kat.]

Shahooter: "You were watching too?"

Kat: Oh yeah. I've seen more than enough of this. What have these people done wrong?

Scientist 1: They were trespassing on G.U.N property, a offense worth taking prisoner for when they are members of a hostile group.

Shahooter: "You take almost everyone prisoner for F***ing Trespassing!"

Scientist 4: No we don't!

[Shahooter ejects a clip from his visor, viewing all the times G.U.N Personnel took people prisoner for trespassing, about thirty times...Kat straightened up, her eyes burning with amazing inner fire. Her body started to form a deep purple glow as she started to unlock a new form through fury and frustration.]

Scientist 4: .....sh*t...

??? 1: !!

(Kat finishes her transformation. Her short, silvery hair had extended down her back and gained coppery streaks. Her irises were now copper-colored, while her wrists now sported a deep purple blade extending about 20cm out. She grinned cruelly, before racing in and knocking down the scientists. With one flicking motion, all the doors were unlocked, then a second motion blew a large hole in one of the walls)

Corrupted Kat: Go! I'll keep these scientists quiet for now. Get back to your clan, and to your people! Leave the artifacts for now though.

(The three obediently run away. Meanwhile, back in the Troll League Base, a Spitfire Ranger then lands on Ronix's crotch, however, the Spitfire Ranger appears to be a she. Ronix lets go of Dismal.)

Ronix: (falls down and yells in agony)

Dismal: !!! (scrambles away...and trips) Oof!!

???: ....

(Dismal looks around at the stranger. He is unsure what to do.)

Dismal: Wh-Who are you....?

???: "Is that of your concern?"

Dismal: N-N-no, ma'am....!

[The female Spitfire Ranger then gets out two AMPs and shoots Ronix again.]

Dismal: !!

???: "Try anything funny, and you are next."

Dismal: *whimper*

(Then, a shadow slams against the back of the Spitfire Ranger's helmet, pinning her to the wall.)

Kairu: What about me, can I try something funny? (runs over to Dismal and helps him up) You okay, Dismal?

Dismal: Uh...

Kairu: Good, let's get out of here before Samus Aran over there comes around. Ha-hoop! (jumps into his shadow with Dismal, and reappears outside) Where to now?

Dismal: Uhh....

[Kairu is hit and sent into the wall.]

???: "My name is not Samus. I can manipulate shadows too..."

[The Spitfire Ranger appears to be a Glacian Cat.]

Kairu: The shadow thing didn't work, eh? Tell me, how high-tech is that suit?

Dismal: ............

???: "Glacian Tech.."

(Suddenly, Vic, Miranda and Spade come in, fists (and hammers) flying!)

Dismal: ACK!!

(Then, out of nowhere, Mac Chaos Controls in, grabs Dismal, and Chaos Controls away. Back with Johnny and Alyssa...)

Alyssa: C'mon, I think there's a clan that knows about ice powers! Maybe they'll know why I got them!

Johnny: [has a worried look] I don't know...

Alyssa: Why?

Johnny: You have ice powers, Alyssa, and I have fire powers. I don't know if we can go visit Ice Clan... [gulps] They'll kill me.

Alyssa: Oh...Yeah..What..What if you didn't use your powers?

Johnny: Even if I don't use them, I'll likely freeze to death if the weather's unbearable. [turns around from Alyssa] I'm not used to handling really cold weather conditions...

Alyssa: Yeah... :(

Johnny: [sits down and cuddles onto Alyssa] I just want to stay home with you than visiting the clans that easily mistake me for a target, Alyssa. [sniffles as he holds back tears]

Alyssa: Okay... :( (thinking so Johnny doesn't here) But..I really want to know....)

(Johnny tries his best to hold back tears, as his face is buried onto Alyssa (soft cryings can be heard))

Johnny: [soft, muffled cries] I don't wanna be left alone :'(... [cuddles onto Alysssa] Please....

Alyssa: I know... :( (strokes Johnny's hair)

(5 minutes later, Johnny stops crying)

Johnny: [looks up to Alyssa] Maybe... you can try those powers against a Troll, Alyssa?

Alyssa: (sounding a little depressed) Yeah, maybe...

Johnny: Look, Alyssa. I know you want to find out on how you got Ice pwoers, but visiting the Ice Clan isn't a good idea, because I have fire powers, and they could mistake me as a threat and they can either kill me, or end up separating me from you... [cuddles his face onto Alyssa's stomach]

Alyssa: (nods) Yeah..

Johnny: Please... I just want to be with you... think about what happens if you visit the Ice Clan. What if they make you stay and I don't get to see you again, because I have fire powers?

Alyssa: I doubt they'll make me stay with them just because I have ice powers. If they try to make me stay, I'll just run away.

Johnny: I just hope so... if you want to go, then do you have your cellphone with you?

Alyssa: (nods) Uh-huh.

Johnny: Okay. I have my cellphone as well. I'll be in touch, Alyssa. [smiles a bit and kisses Alyssa in the lips] Be careful...

Alyssa: (smiles and kisses Johnny back) I will... Thank you.

Johnny: You're welcome, Alyssa. [waves good-bye to Alyssa]

((So Alyssa goes off to find the Ice Clan. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the G.U.N base, Shanoa and Albus are unaware of what is happening.)

Albus: This place sure is big...

Shanoa: Yeah...

(Back with Alyssa, she finally arrives at the Ice Clan village.)

Alysa: (teeth chattering and shivering) S-So this is th-the I-Ice Clan...(walks around) H-Hello...?

(Mickey is still there, and so is the big group of Mamoswine...)

Mickey: "If it isn't Cameron's big sister."

Alyssa: (shivering, teeth chattering) Um...Wh-Who are y-you...? (thinking) So they know Cameron..)

(A male cat is trying to calm down the Mamoswine.)

Alyssa: (looks at the cat) Umm...D-Do you need h-help...? (sneezes, sending out ice crystal from her mouth)

Cat: (Looks at Alyssa) ?

(Suddenly, one of the Mamoswine stabs at the cat with its tusks! The tusk slashes him across the chest!)

Cat: AAAGH!! (falls over)

Tunndrae: Inghet!!
 * (Ryu-The Mamoswine have been injected with computer chips by the Trolls.)

[Mickey hits the Mamoswine with his gauntlet, throwing a greatcoat at Alyssa.]

Mamoswine: MOOH!!

Alyssa: (catches the coat and puts it on before running over to the cat) A-Are you okay?!

(He is bleeding heavily...)

Inghet: D-Dammit...! Why are they doing this...?!

[Tunndrae the Fox reaches the two. Suddenly, Alyssa's cellphone rings. Mickey digs in his backpack, getting out a long length of rope, running around the Mamoswine, tying them to each other. This does not please them, and they lash out furiously.]

Alyssa: (answers her phone) H-Hello? (watches the Mamoswine fearfully)

Johnny (on the phone): Alyssa? Are you there?

Alyssa: Yeah.

Johnny (on the phone): You're at the Ice Clan village, right?

Alyssa: (backs away from the Mamoswine) U-Uhuh..

Johnny (on the phone): If things go wrong, Alyssa, try to stay calm and leave. I wish I can rescue you, but...

Alyssa: Don't worry, I-I'm fine!

Johnny (on the phone): Okay then. I love you, Alyssa.

(The Mamoswine attempt to break the rope. The rope appears to be made out of Nylon, however, and they can't seem to break it. An Ice clan medic is busy assisting Inghet.)

Alyssa: Love you too! (hangs up, then goes to assist Mickey) Looks like you can use some help!

(One of the Mamoswine begins to charge up a Hyper Beam!)

Alyssa: Ah! (throws her hands out, and icicles come out and hit the Mamoswine)

[Mickey hits the Hyper Beam-charging Mamoswine with a weak fire spray.]

Mamoswine: MAMOOOH!! (stops charging up)

Alyssa: You did it! You stopped 'im!

Mickey: "Save the applause for later Alyssa."

Alyssa: Huh? (thinking) He knows my name...?)

(One of the Mamoswine uses Ice Beam!)

Alyssa: ! (a large block of ice bursts out of the ground, protecting her)

Mickey: "Alyssa, in case you didn't know, that Greatcoat is Glacian-made."

Alyssa: And that's...good?

Mickey: "IT means I KNOW CAMERON!"

Alyssa: (hunches shoulders to look small) O-Oh..I-I thought so..(looks over at Inghet and goes over to him) Are you...okay? (looks at him worriedly)

Inghet: I think I'll be fine.....

Alyssa: (looks at his wounds and winces) I hope so...DO you, uh...Know anyone I can talk to about my...powers?

(The female fox looks up.)

Tunndrae: Powers?

Alyssa: (ears go back a little) Y-Yeah...I-I have..ice powers.. (looks at the block of ice she conjured earlier)

Tunndrae: Ahh.....you're a Cryokinetic.

Alyssa: Cryokinetic... Wow.. I, um..I came here to see maybe why...why I got them..

Tunndrae: I'm afraid that's not so easy to explain....you could have been born with the power dormant in your body...

Alyssa: Maybe so.. Can just anyone get them, or does it have to be passed down?

Tunndrae: Well, you can't just get them...but they can be passed down...it could also be granted by any powerful elemental deity, like Kyanos...

Alyssa: (looks down at the ground and eyes narrow (she's thinking)) But nobody in my family has Cryokinetic powers...And I've never met Kyanos..

Tunndrae: Then I'm not sure how...

Alyssa: Hm..(looks up and smiles sadly) Well, thanks anyway...I better be going.. (turns to leave the village)

Tunndrae: (Bows lightly) Goodbye.

Alyssa: (to Inghet) I hope you feel better soon!

Inghet: (Sits up) Thank you...

Alyssa: (smiles and waves goodbye before leaving the village) (thinking) Well, I guess I found out some stuff...)

(In the Troll Moon Base...)

Mac: (Reappears with Dismal) Ugh....stupid wannabe Trolls...(to Dismal) You sure cause a lot of problems, don't you?

Dismal: *whimper*

(Some other Trolls appear. Amongst them are Toxic and Tantrum.)

Tantrum: I WANNA TORTURE HIM!! >:D

Mac: Okay, fine. (pushes Dismal over to Tantrum, who grabs his neck)

Tantrum: Yes! (leaves)

Toxic: I'm gonna watch! (follows)

(In another room, Tantrum puts Dismal's left arm in a vise. He cranks it until it's just tight enough to keep his arm in place.)

Tantrum: Now then...let's see how flat I can make your arm! (starts turning the crank)

Dismal: !!

(Pain shoots through Dismal's left arm as Tantrum tightens the vise. Eventually, the bones in his arm crack.)

[SFX: CRACK!]

Dismal: AAAAAAAAAGH!!

Toxic: Make it tighter!

Tantrum: Okay! (tightens the vise)

(The vise plates are now an inch apart. The bones in Dismal's arm continues to grind and shatter.)

Dismal: (trying to pull away) 'STOP IT!! IT...IT H-HURTS!!' *sobbing*

(Dismal's ruined arm is now pouring blood...the vise closes completely.)

Toxic: Sweet! Let's do a leg next!

Dismal: (Sobbing and panting, his fur drenched in sweat) No more...p-please......

(Tantrum begins to re-open the vise. Dismal's left arm is mangled beyond repair.)

???: "Well well well, what do we have here?"

[A Female Glacian Cat was leaning against the wall.]

Tantrum: Hey! How'd you get in here?! This is MY room!

???: "Oh really?"

Toxic: Go back to torturing Dismal, Tanty. (walks over to the cat) So...what's your name, gorgeous?

[The Cat slaps Toxic as Tantrum is shot by someone else.]

Tantrum: AAAAAGH!!

Toxic: OW! Hey!

???: "Don't flirt with me."

Toxic: Geez....(looks at Tantrum) Who shot him?

(Dismal tries to get up, but the pain in his arm is staggering. He yells in agony.)

Toxic: Oh, shut up. (kicks Dismal)

Dismal: AAAGH!!

[The Girl then silently breaks Toxic's neck.]

Dismal: *whimper* Ooowwww......(tries to crawl away) Help....please......
 * (Ryu-Hey Flash, Shouldn't the Trolls be doing something?)

(Back at the temporary Wind clan camp, Blackmoon was pacing rapidly)

Blackmoon: (Muttering) He will challenge me, but am I ready? Am I truly ready? Tatsuma, will she take it personally if a teacher of her clan is killed in combat with another Aerokinetic? Will she take it as Khazri failing us? Will she take it as ME failing the clan? Me failing her? I don't know!

(Ookaze seems rather despondent after allowing Mitch to intimidate him so easily. Blackmoon seems to notice)

Blackmoon: Are you ok? You seem to be upset since you returned from that scouting run? Were you seen?

Ookaze: We were seen, all right...and we managed to fall into a trap, too! It was set by some wolf with a sword.....

Blackmoon: Interesting. What kind of trap was this? It may not be that you were seen, but the Mobians in that base are rather unique in their abilities. If it was some kind of trap that could have been sensed remotely by an Elemental master, than he may have sensed you, something you could not have avoided.

Ookaze: We thought it was nothing more than water....but it suddenly froze around our feet!

Blackmoon: Ah, a hydrokinetic. You're an archer, you know what air does when something moves through it. Water ripples instead of separating, and likely this guy was a guard who set this sensor trap, and used it when he found you. It's not that you failed, it's that they were a step ahead. Next time, shoot the puddle or bowl or whatever it is, then watch to see if anybody comes out. If someone does, then it's up to you, but I would recommend waiting until they leave and shooting the puddle again and again until they get fed up, then go through yourselves. That way they are less likely to know when... (The sound of Kat knocking the hole in the wall reaches the camp) What's that?

(Ookaze perks up his ears. He instinctively reaches for his bow as the other soldiers prepare themselves for a possible attack.)

Blackmoon: Look! Are they our people escaping? (Indeed, Blackmoon could see the civilians running towards the temporary camp)

(Ookaze puts his bow down as the skunk, kuwagata and hedgecat arrive at the camp.)

Vendaval: Furtunile! Makonis! Mitrumas! How'd you guys get out?!

Furtunile (skunk): A female cat busted down a wall to help us escape!

(Meanwhile with Alyssa...)

Alyssa: (gets lost in a blizzard) Oh, this is JUST GREAT! >:( (hides underneath a tree to get away from teh storm) (hard coughing) Ugh...My life sucks...

(Suddenly, she can see a figure approaching towards Alyssa, and it reveals to be Johnny!)

Alyssa: Johnny?!

Johnny: Alyssa... [reaches his hand out for her, as he approaches her weakly]

Alyssa: (grabs onto Johnny and hugs him to keep him warm) What are you doing?! You'll die out here!

Johnny: [shivers] I.... w-w-wanted... t-t-to... be... wwwwith... y-y-y-y-you...

Alyssa: (smiles sadly, then hugs Johnny close) C'mon, we need to get somewhere warm and safe.

(However, Johnny easily uses Flame Disperse, and the two are back to Johnny's house)

Johnny: [his tear runs down from his right eye]

Alyssa: Johnny...?

Johnny: [tears runs down from his eyes (even though he has regained his warmth)]

Alyssa: :( ?

Johnny: [cries; voice breaking] This is why we can't go to the Ice Clan village! I nearly killed myself just to save you!! [sobs] I... can't take it!

Alyssa: (flinches back) :'( !

Johnny: That's the whole reason why we can't go into any Clan villages... they'll likely mistook me for a shooting target... I couldn't stand watching you suffer like this, especially on a blizzard... [sobbing] Please forgive me, Alyssa!!

Alyssa: I..I forgive you..(thinking so Johnny can't hear) But...I wouldn't have froze..Especially with that coat...I have a feeling I need to go back, but...)

Johnny: I just... don't want you to risk yourself in getting frostbitten, Alyssa... That's what scares me.

Alyssa: (nods)

Johnny: [hugs Alyssa, still crying]

Alyssa: (hugs Johnny back) Ssshh...It's okay...I...I promise I won't go back to the IceClan....ever..

???: There is another way, boys and girls, to find a person who can train Alyssa, or even explain the possibilities of how she got her powers. (A pale blue ghost-like image appeared, floating before Alyssa and Johnny.)

Alyssa: !! (stares at the ghost-like image)

Johnny: [sees a ghost-like image and holds onto Alyssa protectively] Wh-Who are you...?

???: Wait, you guys can see me? (The image solidifies and reveals a smiling hedgehog) The name's Siobhan. Wow, I can actually project really far! Anyway, I don't exactly know HOW I know what's happened, but I think my friends, including one wolf in particular, might be able to help.

Johnny: [his left ear droops down]

Alyssa: Your friends can help me? (smiles happily)

Johnny: [both of his ears droop down in sadness (he knows that Alyssa wants to go back to the Ice Clan village), and bures his face onto Alyssa's chest; cries softly]

Alyssa: :( (to the hedgehog) Where would I go? Or would I stay here?

Siobhan: All up to you. We can teach any elemental power: for the advice you received is wrong. We are born with an affinity, not one element. Heck, all our members worked together to teach our leader each element: you know him as a bit of a loner with a sad past (Siobhan's face softened) I know all about it.

Johnny: [muffled; soft cries]

Alyssa: See, I won't have to leave! It'll be okay! (to Siobhan) When can we start?

Johnny: [nods, even though he is still crying]

(The ghost-like image of Siobhan solidified and filled with color, revealing a bright yellow hedgehog with a soft smile)

Siobhan: Whenever you're ready. Wow, that actually worked! I'll just need a minute to tell the others where I am. (Siobhan sits down and closes her eyes, then opened them again) Done.

Alyssa: (takes a deep breath) I'm ready...!

Siobhan: Excellent. Where shall we start? I mean, Ice isn't my best element, but I'll give it a good shot.

Alyssa: Hmm...What about shooting and directing icicles...?

Johnny: ....

Siobhan: Nice choice. Well, you have to be able to form icicles, and there are a few ways I do it...should we go outside to do this? It's sorta destructive.

Alyssa: Sure.

Johnny: [looks at Alyssa, then to Siobhan] Siobhan: Is there something wrong?

Johnny: [looks down sadly] This. [opens his hand, and a fireball emerges out from his open palm, before it dissipates]

Siobhan: Power issues, or element ones? If it's to do with having trouble with your powers, I can help a little, but Fire's not my strongest element. If it's problems in element, I might be able to teach you a second one.

Johnny: No. I can't be taught with any other powers, because the side effects can be deadly for me. I like fire powers, but since Alyssa's wanting to go back to the Ice Clan village... [looks down sadly even more] Love is not gonna be the same...

Alyssa: (ears droop) I didn't say I wanted to go back...

Siobhan: Wait, Ice Clan? You guys too? My friends are holding back a Wind Clan attack on a G.U.N base right now! Besides, if you need to go to the Ice Clan base so bad, Johnny, I think I might just know somebody who might be able to increase your fire-based powers...if he's ready.

Johnny: The problem is, that when I enter very colds and breezy areas, I'm prone to getting a bad hypothermia...

Siobhan: So, it's a case of your body being unable to enter cold environments? I have an answer to that, but...(Siobhan blushes and looks down her decent-sized chest, then back at Johnny) I'll have to get my blacksmith friend to make a new suit for you, because I doubt you'll fit mine.

Part 13
(Meanwhile, back in the Troll Moon Base, Dismal is still staggering away. His ruined left arm is dangling uselessly at his side.)

Dismal: *thinking* How do I get out of here.....?

(Dismal suddenly hears footsteps...)

Dismal: Oh no......not now...........

(A group of Trolls enter, lead by Larry in his Extreme Coco form, known to shift between it and his human form.)

Dismal: (shrinks against the wall) *whimper*

Extreme Coco Larry: Oh, lookie here. Dismal out on his own. Bubonic wants to see you again, and we were on our way to see what killed Toxic and Tantrum, but this is too good to miss!

Dismal: (Cringes away) *whimper*

Larry: Come on, Dismal, you don't want to make me mad... (Larry clamps his iron-hard grip onto Dismal's ruined arm, sticking a lot of pressure on it as he dragged Dismal to Bubonic. Larry turned to Vic Jackson, who had everyone start looking for the people who shot Toxic and Tantrum)

Dismal: GAH!! L-Let go....!!

Larry: Or what, Dismal? I've fought all the Sega characters, all the Editors, and still I live. What can you do to me that they can't?

Dismal: P-Please....y-y-you're hurting me...!!

Larry: Well, I've got nothing to fear, I mean, you don't have any super forms that you can access like the rest of us, and your strongest bone is coated in flexible metal as is your muscles, but you don't know how to use those rubber-like abilities of it yet. I've got nothing to be afraid of by causing you pain, in fact, I'll enjoy it. You're as fun to hurt as recolors.

Dismal: *sobbing* Please.....

Larry: You know, Tonic's looking a little bored. I could give you to....not, that's cruel, even for me. I'll content myself with getting you to Bubonic. But seriously, snap out of it! (Larry slaps Dismal lightly, but due to being transformed, it was a hard strike to Dismal)

Dismal: OOF!!

Larry: What's that, Dissie? Want more? Well, I'm not going to hit you any more. Here's hoping Bubonic can scare some bravery into you.

(Larry entered Bubonic's lab and dumped Dismal down on a stainless-steel bench)

Dismal: Ugh!

Bubonic: Ah, Larry. Thank you for bringing him to me.

Larry: My pleasure. Now, I'm not going anywhere just yet. Dismal was crying when I grabbed his arm. Tantrum crushed it again.

Bubonic: Dammit. -_-' (he grabs Dismal's ruined arm; Dismal yelps) Judas Priest....crushed like a pancake...

Dismal: *sniffle*

Bubonic: Ugh...someone really needs to tell Tantrum not to do that whenever I plan on running tests on Dismal...

Larry: At least he had sense not to crush the right arm, because the plate would just re-inflate.

Bubonic: Yes...and at least he didn't crush Dismal's p**** like he did last time.

Larry: Yeah, makes him the only one with a non-psychological reason why he can't have kids. Unlike Tonic. If only we did that with Toxic. I swear, by the time I'm in my forties, we are going to be up to our necks in Toxic's kids with Troll women... including any new recruits that are remotely female that we get.

Bubonic: Tell me about it. -_- Well, let's get started with the tests, Dismal.

Dismal: *whine*

Larry: We could do with more test subjects, couldn't we? I mean, that Blackmoon guy recently liberated a whole holding section of captives single-handedly...oh yeah. Mac hadn't told you that yet, had he?

Bubonic: What?!

Larry: He took a couple of Wind-elemental ones with him, and let the rest go! I mean, it's not as if Dismal grows on trees or anything! We can't get another one of him...or maybe we can.

Bubonic: Hmmmm.......

Larry: What?

Bubonic: What you said; us possibly being able to get another "Dismal"...

Larry: Simple! I go out, find another orphan and trick them into thinking that I'm there to save them, and then bingo, you've got another Dismal. Either that or do what you did with Reaper and clone him, even though the clone of Reaper was just a source of organs while you were converting him.

Bubonic: True...(looks at Dismal) I guess it's just you for now. (grabs Dismal and puts him on a stainless steel gurney)

Larry: I'm going to ask Mac or Rageik if I'm allowed to get an orphan to join us. Might save some effort, and the only person that could stop us is in your hands...not that he'd be able to stop me anyway.

Bubonic: Exactly.
 * (Ryu-Are you gonna play Bubonic for the experimenting, or do you plan on chronicling Larry's quest?)
 * (Um, not sure yet, I might play around with Bubonic a bit, but I also might have Reaper appear for a check-up, something I'm guessing he'd need regularly considering his condition. - FF)
 * (Ryu-Yeah.)

Dismal: *whimper*

(Bubonic straps him to the table on his back.)

Bubonic: I will try something on your arm later, Dismal. I need you in as fit a condition as possible for a set of physical tests you need to have done, not to mention increase your chances of healing some of those wounds. First, though, Mac has asked me to check something. One kind of chip seems to malfunction a lot, so I'm going to test it on you. It's easy, just a little controlled mayhem that I call Summer Influenza. (Bubonic withdraws a chip, then shoots it into Dismal, who yelps) It's set to influenza, but I've been told that the symptoms could be anything from a gender switch effect to different diseases to a power increase. This should confirm everything. (Bubonic withdrew a needle) Just need a blood sample to find what disease is ravaging your body, if there even is one.

Dismal: (Whimpers and cringes away; shakes head) Dun wanna....

Bubonic: *sighs* Dismal, I've done this a thousand times. It won't kill you, so SIT STILL!

Dismal: *sniffle* *whimper* It hurts...

Bubonic: It's only a few seconds of pain, Dismal. Man up, for Pete's sake. (he sticks the needle into Dismal)

Dismal: Aaah!!

(Bubonic draws some blood, then removes the needle. He twitches as he receives a telepathic communication, something most Trolls were unused to)

???: Better hurry up, Bubonic. Reaper's on his way.

Bubonic: Ah...of course. Putty!

(Putty runs into the room.)

Putty: Master rang for Putty?

Bubonic: (Unstraps Dismal) I'll need you to put Dismal in a holding room. (to Dismal) I'll have to put your checkup on hold for now.

(Putty stretches one of his arms and wraps it around Dismal like a tentacle.)

Dismal: WAAUUGH!!

(Putty then stretches his other arm and opens up a nearby door. He tosses Dismal in there and slams the door.)

Bubonic: Thank you.

(Within seconds, Reaper entered, as always followed by Anne)

Bubonic: Ah, welcome Reaper. And Anne. Putty, you can go now.

(Putty salutes and leaves the room. In the adjacent room, Dismal sits next to the door so he can eavesdrop.)

Dismal: .............

(Reaper sits, before lifting a sleeve on his black robe to reveal cyborg plating)

Reaper: Same as normal, Bubonic? Or is there new technology to be fitted?

Bubonic: I'll know if you tell me anything unusual with your current systems. (Anne's eyes fade out slightly as she speaks with Reaper, before turning back to normal)

Reaper: Well, asides for issues like inability to ever have children, I've had a glitchy right arm and occasional TRAIL flickers, amongst other things. Also a few dints and things that might need to be pressed out.

Dismal: ...................

(Reaper twitches, and Anne places her hands on his sides, before speaking, revealing a husky voice from uncommon use)

Anne: There goes another TRAIL flicker. It's the cybernetics in his sight and brain, or at least that's what we think. Molotov made a small repair...but he's ten. He can't be expected to keep Matthew running! I mean, Matt's awesome and all, but he needs regular care which only a doctor such as yourself can provide.

Bubonic: Well, I can't do anything about the TRAIL flickers until TRAIL appears.....but I do have an idea how to help your arm.

Reaper: Really? (Reaper gasps, suppressing the flickers with pure willpower)

Bubonic: Yes. It's lucky that the glitch is in your right arm, since, as you know, Dismal has Reapertech in his right arm. I can examine how his arm grows or is wired, and then I'll be able to graft new tech into your arm.

(Dismal hears this.)

Dismal: *low whimper* *thinking* Oh great...now Bubonic's going to cut me open...!

Reaper: Good, the elasticity of it seems to be lagging, so it's not returning to it's original shape properly quick enough. (Reaper demonstrates this by throwing a punch with his right arm, stretching his arm across the room to punch the wall hard. The arm then sagged as it retracted, not quite right in it's final stage. Reaper repeated this with his left arm, which retained it's shape) I'm not complaining, because most people don't notice it because of the thick sleeves of my robe, but I feel it, and I don't like a numb arm. Also, does Dismal even know how to use that arm? The rubber qualities might give him more courage with the ability to throw punches from the other side of the room.

Bubonic: He's never tried to.

Reaper: Ah, so no problem with getting pristine tech, and if he doesn't know how to use it, he's not going to try, so may as well take it.

Bubonic: Right.

Dismal: ...........

(Anne's eyes flicker, and Reaper's scythe appears out of nowhere.

Reaper: We're being watched.

(Bubonic's eyes stray over to the door where Dismal's eavesdropping.)

Dismal: *light gasp* *whispering* They know...

Reaper: Anne, find him, and erase his memory before he informs Dismal...or that infernal Troll League. They would love to have me down and out.

Dismal: *whimper*

(Anne closes her eyes, feeling Dismal's presence. The bonds restraining Dismal suddenly loosened)

???: Run, you fool!

(Dismal jumps up and runs away from the door. But the only exit he can see is a window up high.)

Dismal: Oh no...!

(Anne's footsteps get louder. Dismal jumps frantically for the window, which slides open. He makes a grab at it and misses. A dark gloved arm comes through the window and grabs Dismal, dragging him through before disappearing, just as Anne enters)

Anne: He escaped!

(Back in the temporary Wind Clan camp, the three civilians (Furtunile, Makonis and Mitrumas) recounted their harrowing experience within the G.U.N base.)

Makonis: They were going to run experiments on us!

Furtunile: More importantly, they had ancient artifacts of Khazri!

Shahooter: "Wait, where are they again..?"

[Shahooter feels his pockets. The civilians watch him curiously. Ookaze, meanwhile, turns to Blackmoon.]

Ookaze: Will Julian come to us when he finishes training?

Blackmoon: He will come when he is ready.

(A burst of wind shook the area, and Julian stood there with Ebony and Mitch)

Julien: I'm ready, and I brought my second as witness to your defeat.

Ookaze: Please. Blackmoon has the blessing of a Goddess on his side. You can't compare.

Blackmoon: Ookaze, Tatsuma, you are my seconds. If they act up, kill them. (Blackmoon drew his field knifes) Now, fight me and see how you compare.

Julien: I'm going to enjoy this! (Julien drew his Wind blade, before charging at Blackmoon, who dodged and the fight was on)

Blackmoon: I'll kill you once and for all, "apprentice"!

Julien: Ah, but what is it they say when the apprentice surpasses the master? (Julien motioned smoothly at the ground around Blackmoon's feet, and a sudden gust of wind struck there) If forced to, I'll go all out!

(Blackmoon jumps out of the way, then darts forward and slashes at Julien. Ookaze, who has his bow out, is eyeing Mitch distrustfully, waiting for him to foul up. Julien blocks, although slightly slow in his reaction speed with a leap to hover above Blackmoon, before launching himself, propelled by a burst of Wind energy, straight at his teacher, sword at the ready. Mitch returns Ookaze's gaze evenly, keeping his hands away from the small pistol on his leg or his sword on his belt, but hooked in his belt instead.)

Blackmoon: Ha! [blocks Julien's sword with his knives] You still have much to learn...

Julien: As have you. (Julien closed his eyes and his sword started to glow green with energy)

Blackmoon: Wh-What?!

(Julien takes his time with swinging his sword, but every stroke of the blade launched gusts of wind from the blade)

Julien: You know that with each swing of my sword, the sharp cutting bursts of air released can cut through almost anything. And, to seal the deal... (Julien's left hand arced up, making a clutching motion at Blackmoon's throat, with a dark look in his eyes) You taught me how to do this, and you used it on Ebony. How do you like it? (Julien starts to breathbend, cutting off Blackmoon's breath off)

Blackmoon: *choking and gasping*

Ookaze: Blackmoon! (nocks an arrow in his bowstring and fires at Julien; the Wind Arrow travels like a bullet towards Julien)

(Julien lets the arrow impact against his chest, seemingly unable to penetrate, before releasing Blackmoon.)

Julien: I could have killed you, but remember one thing - I never would. Even with all you've done, I never would. (The arrow suddenly penetrates Julien's ribs, puncturing a lung) AAAHHHH!!!!

Ebony: JULIEN! (Ebony races over, wrapping her arms around him. Mitch was quiet, an uncommon sight)

Blackmoon: Ugh...(turns to Ookaze) Why did you do that...?

(Ebony was crying, and Mitch spoke.)

Mitch: You know, there were more of us here. Julien made his point, but now we must retract him for healing... If only Siobhan wasn't training someone.

(Arashi turns to her brother.)

Arashi: That wasn't a good idea, Ookaze...

(Flare appears behind them.)

Flare: Actually, it was. To be tempted by darkness like so, he has to take the consequence. Notice how it stopped, then continued forward when he stopped speaking? He did that, so to apologize for falling into the darkness and took the arrow as punishment, instead of having to wander until he clears his conscience.

Ookaze: I see......

Flare: I take it we can get him out of here safely? (Flare nods to Mitch, who starts to lift Julien. Flare walks over and helps hold the echidna up, with Ebony sniffling behind them) Good day to you all. (The four of them disappear in a burst of flames)

(Back in the Ruins of Sephazer, with Clasher Titan, Rijuka the Badger and the others...)

Clasher: (Still has a grip on Gareth) Pathetic Mobian! I am Clasher Titan, servant of the almighty Claw, Lord of Dragons! You will bow to him, or else I'll destroy you all! And I'll start with this whelp! (holds up Gareth)

Gareth: AAAAGH!! LET GO OF ME!!

Rijuka: You have the gall to harm an innocent child, eh? (she pulls out her weapon, the Behemoth Mace)

[A faint dirt displacement hid the presence of a couple of echidnas, tunneling rapidly underneath Clasher. Nearby, Cameron is silently loading his Guardian Rifle. The mole and rat soldiers are with him; they must've informed him of Clasher Titan.]

Cameron [silently]: "Suck on this Clasher..."

[Cameron fires, a beam glancing off of Clasher's Eye. He whips around.]

Clasher: Who did that?!

Cameron: "Why I did you big hunk of metal!"

Clasher: Insolent wretch!! (in anger he squeezes Gareth, making him cry out in agony)

Gareth: AAAAAAAGH!!

(Suddenly...)

[SFX: CLANG!]

(A rock hits Clasher in the back of the head! He whips around to face Kobol and Kivet!)

Clasher: More whelps...

Kobol: You let Gareth go!!

Clasher: How about I destroy you both instead?!

Rijuka: No!! (gets in between Clasher and the kids) You will not harm them!!

(The ground around Clasher's feet starts to crumble)

[Cameron shoots again, the laser glances Clasher in the eye, again.]

Clasher: Ugh!! (puts free hand over eye)

Part 14
(Back with Johnny, Alyssa and Siobhan, Siobhan watched Alyssa try to shoot off icicles)

Siobhan: More accuracy comes from the wrist, not the fingers. The shape is from the fingers, the accuracy from the way you point your arm.

Johnny: ....

Alyssa: O-Okay.. (shoots more icicles)

Siobhan: Now you're getting it... (Siobhan holds her head, appearingly in some pain, then straightens again) I really need to work on my own empathy control.

Johnny: [nods]

Siobhan: Did you consider my offer of thermal-coiled clothes if you decide to head back to the IceClan?

Johnny: If Alyssa goes, then I go to, even if it's risky.

Siobhan: Good! I'll tell Flare he can make the thermal coils, just in case.

Johnny: Okay.

(Outside the Troll Base, with Dismal and the stranger..)

???: .......

Dismal: (Backs away slightly) Wh-Who are you.....?

(A Shadow/Mephiles recolor with orange and blue scaly skintight clothes looked around nervously)

???: Look, run. I'm Pheer, of Reaper's Legion. I'm not doing this for them, but for the lessons my half-brother taught me. Look, just run, before Reaper's checkup is finished and he can come after you himself!

Dismal: O-O-okay..!! (runs off)
 * (Ryu-Had any ideas on what the malfunctioning chip does to Dismal?)
 * (My theory is that it emits an electrical pulse, which starts to activate the arm, but it should also start carrying disease effects not too long after Pheer helped free him. Pheer's half-brother is Flab, by the way. - FF)

(Back in the FireClan village, a group of armored soldiers led by a strange Shadow edit was raging outside...one who looked like Burn the Pyrohog. He is greeted by Enshoku the Wolf, who is joined by a group of soldiers, including Torxes the Ram and Tulekahju the Mongoose.)

???: As crown prince of the Pyranic Empire, I demand that I be allowed in to talk to the leader of this clan!

Enshoku: Currently, our leader is busy.

???: But I demand to see him!

Enshoku: Well, you'll just have to wait.

Torxes: So go ahead and demand all you want, princey. We're not letting you in.

(The hedgehog pointed his hands at the ground, and clear liquid flowed out and flowed around the guards' feet.)

???: Ah, but I'm Prince Draco, a master of an advanced style of fire, Napalm. I was going to offer teachers of the advanced styles to teach you guys, but it appears that I'm not wanted.

Enshoku: We didn't say you must leave. Our leader is busy, and we request that you be patient.

Tulekahju: Advanced fire, you say? You claim to be greater than Fiamme?

Draco: Nobody is greater than she, but by using, I don't know, Inferno flames, which burn with a sharper intensity, or Napalm flames, which liquefy and spread like the liquid at your feet, which is Napalm in it's unlit form, amongst others, you might just become the most powerful clan.

Tulekahju: Really?

Draco: Indeed.

Tulekahju: Interesting...

(Then, Gondol, a 30-year old Stallion arrives next to Enshoku and Tulekahju)

Enshoku: (Turns around) Ah, Gondol.

Gondol: I hear we have visitors.

Enshoku: Yes. (turns back to Draco)

(Gondol also turns to Draco, but turns away and walks away from the group. Enshoku is concerned about Gondol's multiple personality disorder)

Enshoku: *thinking* Poor Gondol.... :(

Draco: Yes? (The clear liquid started to seep back into Draco's body through his shoes)

Tulekahju: We'll have to wait for our leader.

Draco: I shall wait, now that I'm being listened to.

Part 15
(At the Earth Clan village, we see Vahvuus, an extremely powerful gorilla who is doing push-ups. So far, he has done 500 push-ups as he shows no signs of exhaustion.)

Vahvuus: [stops doing push-ups and senses something] Hmmm.... something isn't right here... [sniffs around to find a trespasser]

(Vahvuus then sees Bolt!)

Vahvuus: [sees Bolt] A trespasser? Heh. This'll be fun... [walks towards Bolt]

Bolt: [sees Vahvuus] Derp :B?

Vahvuus: You're trespassing, intruder. I advise you to leave the Earth Clan village.

Bolt: Err.... what?

Vahvuus: Oh. [facepalms lightly, then chuckles] Where are my manners? [stops chuckling] I am Vahvuus, the guardian of the Earth clan village, and I would like you to leave the village while you still can.

Bolt: Can't I stay here DX?!

Vahvuus: Sorry, but my leader's orders are to force the intruders not to invade this village. If you still don't believe me, perhaps a demonstration will do.

(Vahvuus grabs onto Bolt's body with his deathgripping hand and throws Bolt into the sky at 5000 MPH, sending him into oblivion!)

Vahvuus: Heh. Good riddance... [walks back to the village]

(Vahvuus meets up with the other Earth Clan soldiers.)

(Back at the Moon Base...)

Dismal: *panting* Must...get...away...

(Suddenly, his right arm begins to tingle! He stops running and looks at it.)

Dismal: H-huh...?!

(A sniper shot over Dismal's head gets his attention.)

Dismal: AAAAGH!! (puts both paws over his head)

(Another bullet clips Dismal's right arm, bouncing off without damage. The shooter raised his head, looking out through his normal eye, one of his dreadlocks covering the other eye. Dismal did not realize that he had been hit, since he took no damage.)

???: Sighted. Tracking. Copy. Over.

Dismal: OMGOMGOMG I'M GONNA DIE!! [suddenly trips on a rock] OOF!!

??? (telepathy): Run to the right! Gaze has to keep his eye covered on the right!

Dismal: O-okay...!! [scrambles over to the right]

Gaze: Evaded. Copy. (Gaze turns, looking past where Dismal was and heading back to base)

(Dismal stops running. He's panting hard.)

Dismal: That...was close.......I should probably keep going, though...(continues running)

(He finally finds somewhere to hide. He looks at his right arm.)

Dismal: Why was it tingling earlier...?

(He continues to stare at it. Then he remembers what he overheard concerning the Project Reaper tech.)

Dismal: So it can stretch...?

(Back in the G.U.N base...)

Flare: How's he looking?

(Flare was standing with two medics, looking at Julien's unconscious body, where he lay with a punctured lung.)

Medic 1: Not good...

(Shanoa and Albus finally return.)

Albus: Did you guys hear that explosion earlier?

Flare: Which explosion?

Albus: There was more than one? ._.

Flare: I don't know what explosion you're talking about.

Albus: *facepalms* The one that sounded like it blew up a wall!

Flare: Yeah, I heard it. Don't know what caused it tho.

Shanoa: We don't know, either.

(Back at the G.U.N. HQ with the Wind Clans...)

Badai: [weakly as he limply walks (he was gravely injured while battling against G.U.N. soldiers) while looking for Tatsuma and the other Wind Clan members] Tatsuma...? Tatsu...ma? [coughs]

Tatsuma: Badai!! (runs over to him) What happened?!

(Badai was badly bruised, as he drops his bow & arrows to the ground, his wing was bent horribly and nearly falls unconscious, but Tatsuma holds him onto his feet)

Badai: The soldiers... they're.... ruthless.... they're.... [cluthes his chest] AUGH!

Blackmoon: Breath, son. (Blackmoon reverses Breathbending, forcing air into Badai's lungs)

Badai: [breathes properly] Okay... [looks at Tatsuma] I fought them... but... I have never seen them.... powerful before... [wipes his blood away from his mouth with his hand] I looked at them in the eyes.... [winces from his pain slightly] they're not... human...

Tatsuma: What do you mean, "not human"?

Badai: It's like... their skills... no human has done this before.... it's like.... they were mind... puppet... [falls unconscious from his injuries] Ugh...

Blackmoon: Puppets.... We need a medic over here, stat!

(Kelajuan the Ferret runs over to the scene.)

Badai: [pants weakly, due to his loss of consciousness]

Tatsuma: He's badly injured.

Kelajuan: I'll get right to work! (goes to work on healing Badai's injuries)

(Although Badai is unconscious, he can hear footsteps approaching)

Badai: [weakly] They're coming.... [weakly motions his head towards the source of the sound]

Kelajuan: What? (looks up)

(Indeed, G.U.N soldiers are marching towards the area! Tatsuma unsheathes her katana as the soldiers ready their weapons.)

Badai: [raises his left wing, despite that his wing is badly injured, to shield Kelajuan so he can heal him, but ends up lowering it out of exhaustion]

(The G.U.N. Soldiers aim at Tatsuma and Blackmoon with their assault rifles as they get ready to fire! The WindClan soldiers, however, get in front of the G.U.N soldiers. Ookaze has his bow out, with an arrow already nocked onto the bowstring.)

G.U.N. Soldiers: [in trance-like voices] Ready? Fire. [fires their assault rifles at Tatsuma, Blackmoon and the WindClan Soldiers, but none of them are hit, yet they still fire anyway]

Ookaze: Strange....we're not being hit.

(They soon realize that the G.U.N.'s rifle's safety was on, but the soldiers are still firing anyway! One of the G.U.N. Soldiers charges towards Tatsuma!)

Tatsuma: RAAH!! (guts him with her katana)

G.U.N. Soldier: [still trying to attack Tatsuma, but now falls limp, dead]

(Another G.U.N. Soldier attempts to attack Tatsuma, but is also gutted through in rage (most likely because they have injured her best friend)! Blackmoon curses.)

Blackmoon: PUPPETS! (he starts to breathbend on the soldiers, cutting off oxygen to the soldiers)

(After all the G.U.N. soldiers are dead (despite that they are being puppets), while Kelajuan is almost finished healing Badai))

Blackmoon: Someone was dabbling with puppetry. Only certain people and groups have that power... like maybe Bolt from the Trolls.

Ookaze: I wonder why, though...

Badai: [regains consciousness, thanks Kelajuan] Ugh... [slowly gets up to his feet]

Kelajuan: Are you alright, Badai?

Badai: Yes. I am. Thank you, Kelajuan.

Kelajuan: No problem.

Badai: [turns to Blackmoon, Ookaze and Tatsuma] So, what's this Trolls I hear? If they are indeed enemies, then I think the G.U.N has been taken care of. For now. The "Trolls" will pay for harming me. But how are we gonna get there...?

Mac: [appears from opening the door] How about saying that to death?!

(The WindClan Soldiers turns to see Mac)

Badai: [to Mac] I see that you are a Troll my friends has mentioned. [Pulls out his two arrows and pulls them both with his bowstring and releases it]

(The arrows impales through Mac's feet, so he can't move!)

Mac: OWW! You insignificant insect! Release me!

Badai: That's not really a nice thing to say. However, my best friend [motions to Tatsuma] can end your life in a flash. [turns to Tatsuma and nods]

Mac: OHSHI-....oh wait! I forgot I can just use Chaos Control! (chaos Controls away)

Badai: Hmph. Coward. I thought he was tough. I guess I miscalculated.

Tatsuma: Right now, I think we should get these three...(points to Furtunile, Makonis and Mitrumas)...back to the village.

Blackmoon: Go. Take them back. I'll pay a visit to our friend Mac.

Badai: [nods to Tatsuma] Right. [puts away his Bow and Arrow onto his back and carries Mitrumas onto his arms]

(So the WindClan Soldiers head on back to the WindClan village, with Badai airborne)

(On the Moon Base...)

Mac: OWW!! MY FEET!! DX

Nightshade: [rushes over to Mac] What happened, Mac?!

Mac: Little bastard butterfly shot arrows into my feet...!

Nightshade: [sees the arrows that are impaled through Mac's feet] Whoa... that's gotta hurt... [winces]

(A ripple of the air currents hid that Blackmoon had teleported in, but both Trolls didn't notice)

(Wherever Dismal's hiding...)

Dismal: Hmm.....(attempts to stretch his right arm)

(To his amazement, it stretches! This, however, frightens him at the same time.)

Dismal: OMG!! I-It's stretching!!

(It snaps back seamlessly. He stares at it.)

Dismal: Wow...

(Suddenly, Dismal starts coughing violently.)

Dismal: Ugh...!! (coughs up blood) OOOWWWW!! (clutches chest and coughs some more)

(Blackmoon appears, suddenly.)

Blackmoon: I could feel your struggle, Dismal. The Wind Clan shall do what they can, but first...(Blackmoon aimed his hand, gently cutting off breath to make him sleep) you must sleep. (Blackmoon closes his eyes, creating a tornado localized around himself to teleport, knowing another one would appear in the Wind Clan village)

(Wherever Nightshade and Mac are, Nightshade is pulling the arrows from Mac's feet, although a really painful process.)

Mac: OW! Careful what you're pulling, you moron!

Nightshade: Hey, I'm trying my best, y'know! Cut me some slack >:(!

(Nightshade manages to pull both of the arrows from Mac's feet. Mac, despite being injured, gets extremely mad about what Badai did to him.)

Mac: When I get my hands on that arrow-wielding butterfly, I'll tear his wings in half!!

(At the WindClan village, Tatsuma, Badai, Ookaze and the soldiers have put the three, Furtunile, Makonis and Mitrumas safely back in the village.)

Badai: You three are safe now. [flies away as he sits onto a hill, watching the sunset and starts to think about his past when he was a child]

(In Badai's flashback...)

(Badai, who was 3, meets up with Tatsuma, who was 5, and the two are having fun with each other)

Tatsuma: C'mon, Badai! Let's go explore!

Badai: Okay ^_^! [follows Tatsuma]

(So they go exploring and stuff.)

Badai: [looks at the Bow & Arrows] Tatsuma, look what I found! [shows Tatsuma the Bow & Arrows he just found]

Tatsuma: Wow! :O
 * (Ryu-New conflict!)
 * (JMB-Oh boy!)

Badai: Yeah, it looks so cool ^_^! [excitedly] I wanna test it out, Tatsu! Let's set up a homemade target!

Tatsuma: Okay!

(So the two set up a homemade target (with a red dot that acts like a bulls-eye) as Badai aims his arrow (after pulling it back with his bowstring) against the bulls-eye target; Tatsuma watches him)

Badai: Watch this, Tatsuma ^_^! [fires his arrow towards the target, but misses; sweat drops] Oops ^_^'. lemme try this again... [grabs another arrow from his back and pulls it with his bowstring from his bow]

Tatsuma: You can do it, Badai!

(Badai carefully aims at the bulls-eye and fires the arrow, and the arrow manages to hit the bulls-eye!)

Badai: [gasps and smiles as his arrow hits the bulls-eye from a homemade target; jumps excitedly] I did it, Tatsuma! I hit the bulls-eye ^_^!!

Tatsuma: Yay! ^w^

Badai: [hugs Tatsuma happily] One day, I'm gonna be the best bowman ever, Tatsuma ^_^! I won't let you down!

(Badai's flashback ends as it takes back to the current Badai (who is 20) at the top of the hill from the WindClan village, unaware that Tatsuma is sitting next to him. She also remembered about her past when she first met Badai)

Badai: [smiles as he looks at the sunset] Good times...
 * JMB-Don't forget to edit out Tatsuma's history, Ryu ^_^!)
 * (Ryu-I know.)

Tatsuma: :)

Badai: [looks at Tatsuma, still smiling at her] I always wanted to be a great archer, Tatsuma, just like you wanted to be the best second-in-command officer :).

(She smiles and nods. Suddenly, a small tornado appears in the village! Tatsuma looks at it.)

Tatsuma: It's one of Blackmoon's tornadoes...

Badai: [turns to see a small tornado] I see...

(Dismal appears in the tornado. He's unconscious.)

Tatsuma: Wait a second! That's the gray hedgehog we found in the G.U.N base!

Badai: You're right. Let's go and rescue him while we still can, Tatsuma. [gets up and his wings begins to flag, as if he's getting ready to fly and looks at Tatsuma (since she can't fly) and grabs her hand and the two flies towards Dismal] Hang on tight, Tatsuma.

(The two arrives and sees Dismal, who is unconscious.)

Tatsuma: He looks terrible...

Badai: Indeed. It's as if he was physically abused by someone. Let's take him to safety, Tatsu.

Tatsuma: Right.

(The two takes Dismal to safety and takes him inside the medical room so the medics can start healing him)

Badai: I'm sure it was caused by one of the Trolls.

(Indeed, Badai and Tatsuma can hear faint footsteps (although with faint thuds) approaching towards the village!)

Badai: And I was right. [grabs his Bow & Arrows (up to 3 arrows actually) and follows the trace for the sound]

(Tantrum and Stinkwad appears!)

Badai: Trolls. [aims his arrows at Stinkwad and Tantrum]

Tantrum: Hey, easy there, ya winged retard! We just want Dismal back!

Badai: What did you called me...?

Stinkwad: YEAH! Move aside or we'll smellify you insects!

(Badai shoots three of his arrows onto Tantrum, impaling his feet through he ground so he can't move!)

Tantrum: AAAAGHHH!!!! [curses at Badai, then uses Fire Blast on him]

Badai: [uses Gust from his large wins to deflect Tantrum's Fire Blast as it fires right back at Tantrum, but it does nothing against him] Heh. [pulls out his 2 more arrows and pulls it with his bowstring and fires it at Stinkwad, impaling both of his eyes]

Stinkwad: GAH!

(Badai turns to Tatsuma and nods so she can attack Stinkwad)

Stinkwad: [charges towards Tatsuma] YAH!!

(As soon as Stinkwad gets close enough to Tatsuma, she stabs him through his heart, killing him! In the medical hut...)

Dismal: (Beginning to wake up) Ugh... Where am I...?

(Dismal looks at the medics, who are treating his wounds. He's scared.)

Dismal: Wh-What are you doing...?!

Adiere: 'Ey, rest easy, fella. We're not goin' to hurt ya.

Part 16: Discovery and Healing
(After Badai and Tatsuma has successfully defeated tantrum and Stinkwad, they head on back to their different homes for them to go to sleep. The next day...)

(Tatsuma was the first to wake up and goes over to see Badai, but he's gone! Where could he have gone off to?)

Tatsuma: Badai? Where are you...?!

(Meanwhile with Badai, outside of the WindClan village...)

Badai: [thinking] ''What is my mind telling me to go to? If this about my long-lost family...? If so, then I must find them, even though i am straying away from the village.''

(4 minutes later, Badai finds his long-lost family, but it was engraved onto the ground, meaning that all of his relatives are dead.)

Badai: [gasps as he sees the gravestones from his family, who are now deceased; voice breaking] N...No.... [his tears runs down from his eyes and looks down sadly]

(Back with Tatsuma, she is still looking for Badai. She eventually finds him, but sees that Badai's completely sad)

Badai: [cries softly]

Tatsuma: Badai, what's wrong?! What happened?!

Badai: My family died, Tatsuma... [weakly points to the gravestones; wipes away tears]

Tatsuma: Oohhhhh....(she pulls Badai into a hug) I'm so sorry....

Badai: [hugs Tatsuma back; muffled, cries] Yeah... I barely knew my family since I was born, until now... but... [looks at Tatsuma; stops crying (since he's capable of handling his emotions)] at least I have a new family, right?

Tatsuma: Yes, you do.

Badai: [walks back to the WindClan village, with Tatsuma walking next to him] You don't just treat me like a great friend. You're like an older sister to me, Tatsu ^_^.

(The two arrives back at the WindClan Village. Tatsuma is proud that she treats him like she was an older sister of Badai, as mentioned by Badai himself)

Badai: [watches Dismal from the window, then resumes walking with Tatsuma]

Dismal: H-Huh....? (looks at window) ....

Badai: That hedgehog... he's like a homeless child, Tatsuma.

Tatsuma: Yeah...

Badai: Should we tell our leader about this, Tatsu? I mean, we know that we don't appreciate trespassers, but if someone is alone and homeless, we cannot just stand there and let them suffer like this.

???: I already know.

(Badai turns to ??? (obviously Hurikale).)

Tatsuma: Sir...!

Badai: [bows to Hurikale] Sir. [stops bowing and looks at Hurikale] So you are aware of this, Hurikale? [he was wondering if Hurikale knows about Dismal]

(Suddenly, something crashes onto the ground!)

Badai: Whoa. Something's going on.

(The three heads torwards the crash and finds Bolt, a Troll!)

Bolt: [groans stupidly] Errrrgggg......

(Frost sees this)

Frost: Bolt! Puppets!

Badai: We got trolls invading our village. [readies his Bow & arrow as he aims at Bolt and Frost]

(Badai releases his arrow and it impales through Frost's eye and through his brain.)

Bolt: [gets up to his feet] Dismal! Where art thou?! [sees Tatsuma] Are you Dismal :B?

Tatsuma: .........

Badai: He's a Troll, Tatsuma. Don't let his stupidity fool you.

Bolt: Derp :B?

(Bolt reaches his hand out and tries to grab Tatsuma's Katana. He grabs ahold onto her Katana!)

Badai: Now that's not polite to touch someone else's weapon.

(She quickly pulls her arm away, cutting Bolt's hand in half!)

Bolt: OWIES DX!!

Badai: You should've been more polite, but then again, since you are a Troll, how about we end your life in a peaceful manner?

Bolt: But she cut-eh me DX!!

Badai: So? She is my best friend, you know. [grabs his arrow from his back and pulls it with his bowstring as he prepares to shoot Bolt in the head]

(Just as when Badai is about to fire his arrow to Bolt, the bowstring snaps itself in half!)

Badai: [gasps as his bowstring breaks itself in half]

Tatsuma: !!

Badai: The bowstring snapped...

Bolt:

Badai: Don't get your hopes up yet, Troll.

Bolt: But I is invincible! Spider-lady can't kill me ^_^'!

Badai: I doubt it.

(Badai uses Wind Cutter from his large butterfly wing and it easily tears Bolt into pieces!)

Badai: There. Now that this is settled... [sits onto a tree stump and looks at his bow] I've never seen my bowstring break away like this...

(He looks at the bowstring and sees that the strings are completely old and worn out; Badai sighs slightly sadly)

Tatsuma: It's alright. We just have to replace the bowstring.

Badai: Yeah. [gets up to his feet (although he can feel a slight bruise when the bowstring snapped, he ignores the pain)]

(The two walks off to find a stronger bowstring for Badai's Bow. Tatsuma finds one, which is stronger and that it can stretch further back for the arrow to increase its speed)

Badai: [takes the new bowstring from Tatsuma; smiles at her] Thanks, Tatsuma ^_^. [attaches the bowstring onto his Bow and it works well]
 * (JMB-Check out the friendship (yes, Ryu already checked it out)

(A thunderclap resounds, it's going to storm!)

Badai: Looks like it's going to be a really bad rain, Tatsu. Let's go find a way inside. [walks off]

(Both Badai and Tatsuma head inside the hut, where the medics are almost done healing Dismal, while outside of the hut, it was pouring with intense rain.)

Badai: [looks at Dismal] So, who are you?

Dismal: Uhh...

Badai: [waits patiently] Take your time, child.

Dismal: M-My name's Dismal...

Badai: Dismal, huh? Well, my name is Badai, and I am a Scout member of the WindClan, specializing in search and rescue efforts and an expert at archery, along with Ookaze. [thumbs over to Tatsuma] This is Tatsuma, and she is the second-in-command, and my best friend of the WindClan.

Dismal: O-Okay...

(With the Trolls in the Troll Moon Base, Bolt punched the wall, before he started to glow with sparks, his eyes full of sudden intelligence)

Bolt (?): I'm back! Miss me, bros?

Toxic: Err... Bolt? I though you were supposed to be stupid...

(Frost slaps the back of his head.)

Frost: Imbecile! Bolt's obviously using his Nerve Overload technique!

(Mac and Nightshade walk in, with Mac's feet still bleeding from Badai's arrows. Bubonic rages that Dismal has escaped once again)

Bubonic: Dismal has escaped!!

Ghost: WHAT?!

Bubonic: Grr...you idiots better get him back before I decide to use YOU as chip test-beds!!

Mac: yeah! I wanna get my hands on that moth retard for mistaking me for a bow target >:(!

(Nightshade, Ghost, Toxic and Mac teleports back to Mobius as Nightshade uses the Chip tracker to find Dismal. It pinpoints the location to where Dismal is; Dismal is at the WindClan village)

NightShade: Got it! Dis-mutt is somewhere in this weird-looking village. [points to the WindClan village]

Toxic: Yeah! Let's get Dismal! [grins evilly] I'm gonna enjoy torturing him to death...

Mac: Not only that, I'm gonna make flyboy with wings pay for this!

Ghost: Let's go! [rushes torwards the WindClan village]

(The four Trolls rushes inside the WindClan village, in search for Dismal. Back with Badai, Tatsuma Dismal and the WindClan medics, the rain has stopped and the sun shines)

Badai: [looks out from the window] Looks like the rain has stopped.

(As the Trolls continue to advance, they are suddenly struck by a blade of wind!)

Nightshade: GAH!! (backflips out of the way) What the f***?!

Mac: Was it moth man again?!

(Badai and Tatsuma walks out of the hut and finds Trolls!)

Toxic: [sees Badai and Tatsuma; wolf-whistles at Tatsuma] Hey there, spider-lady.

Badai: [aims his arrow (after pulling the bowstring) to Toxic] I'd watch out if I were you. You cannot catcall Tatsuma like that. Trust me.

Toxic: [turns to Badai] So? What are you gonna do about it? Shoot me to death? HA! What are you? Spider-lady's boyfriend? We just came here for Dismal. You two lovebirds can't even stop me!

(Ghost and Mac are still looking for Dismal. Tatsuma smirks at Toxic.)

Tatsuma: Are you assuming I cannot fend for myself?

Badai: What she said. [releases the bowstring, which shoots off an arrow torwards Toxic]

(Toxic grabs onto Badai's arrow!)

Toxic: What are YOU supposed to be? A cupid? HA!

(badai shoots off both arrows and they hit onto Toxic!)

Toxic: AUGH! Lucky... [dies (although not REALLY dead)]

Ghost: *Turns ephemeral* Hehehe...nothing will hit me now...

Badai: [turns to Ghost] Hmm... [grabs an arrow from his back (which is a Wind-type arrow, intended to take down invisible enemies) and pulls it with his bowstring, as he searches for Ghost]

Ghost: [pops out of the wall] BOO!

(Badai fires teh arrow at Ghost, but he dodges it easily)

Ghost: BOO! Hahaha!

Badai: [aims his arrow at Ghost] Hold still.

(Badai fires another arrow at Ghost. Although Ghost did dodge another arrow, it goes through Ghost's hand!)

Ghost: OW!! [pops out of the wall] You're a dead bug, fly boy! [charges torwards Badai]

(With Nightshade and Mac, they are still looking for Dismal)

Nightshade: [bumps into Hurikale] OY!! [falls to teh ground and gets up and looks at Hurikale (although he doesn't know who Hurikale is)] Beat it, chicken legs!

Mac: Yeah!

(Hurikale turns to them, his sharp orange eyes blazing.)

Hurikale: "Chicken legs"? Really?

Mac: Yeah, chicken legs!

Nightshade: Where's Dismal?! [gives an angry look on Hurikale (although he seems unfazed from Nightshade's attitude)]

Mac: And where's dead bug with wings?! He'll pay for hurting me with his girly arrows!!

Hurikale: Here, I'll show you. (picks up Mac by his throat, tosses him up into the air, then hits him with a jumping knee strike as he falls back down)

[SFX: WHAM!]

Mac: WAUGH!!! [dies (but not really)] Ugh...

Nightshade: MAC!!! [turns to Hurikale] I'll turn you into fried chicken! [charges torwards Hurikale] YAHHH!!!!

(Hurikale simply hits him with Tornado Palm.)

Nightshade: WAUGH!!!! [dies (same as Mac, not really dead)]

(Back with Tatsuma, Badai and Ghost...)

Badai: [uses Aerial Ace on Ghost] Take this!

(The attack goes right through him.)

Ghost: [laughs] How pathetic! Here's how its done! [jumps onto Badai]

(Badai grabs Ghost and throws him onto the ground (unaware that Ghost managed to disable badai's wings from flying around))

Badai: [begins to fall down, since his wings are disabled, caused by Ghost's Dark Palm] No... [he is hurtling down torwards the river]

Ghost: [laughs; turns to Tatsuma] Poor fly boy! Looks like her forgot his swimming lessons! Now you shall join him! [charges torwards Tatsuma]

Tatsuma: (Leaps over Ghost and charges towards the river)

(Badai was completely underwater. As Ghost laughs, he is confronted by Hurikale!)

Ghost: [sees Hurikale] Who are you, rooster face?!

(Tatsuma can remember about what happened to Badai. In Tatsuma's flashback...)

Badai: [was drowning in the river (he is 14 (with Tatsuma being 16) and, he is unable to swim well, since he is a butterfly), flailing his arms] Help me! I can't swim D:!!

(Flashback end...)

Tatsuma: *thinking* I'm not letting this happen again!

(Badai slowly opens his eyes and can see Tatsuma, even when underwater. Ghost watches Tatsuma and grins evilly)

Badai: [thinking] Tatsu...ma...?

(Tatsuma dives into the river and begins to swim towards Badai. Badai loses consiousness before Tatsuma grabs onto him and swims back onto shore)

Badai: [barely conscious; quietly] Tatsu....?

(Badai coughs up amounts of water from his lungs, allowing him to breathe)

Badai: [looks up to Tatsuma] What... happened to me...

Tatsuma: You fell in the river...

Badai: [sighs sadly] Guess I'm still not able to swim, huh...?

Tatsuma: No...

Badai: Yeah. It happened to me when I was little. My swimming abilities are useless, because my wings are not used to going udnerwater. [looks at Tatsuma and smiles] But what matters is that you saved my life, which is important. [hears Dismal] And it looks like Dismal needs our help, Tatsuma.

(Near the medic hut, Ghost phazes through the wall...he sees Dismal and grins.)

Ghost: Well hello, Dismal...

Dismal: WAAUUGH!! (jumps up, but Adiere pushes him back down)

Adiere: 'Ey, ya need to relax now!

(Tatsuma and Badai goes inside the hut and sees Ghost)

(A sudden pulse of electricity from outside reveals Bolt, Frost and Poison, with Bolt's fur now as long as Knuckles' from the effort of keeping his intelligence in the Nerve Overload level without possessing a puppet)

Bolt: Frost, find Dismal and get him out. Poison, find your twin. I'll get some puppets and cover your back. (Bolt's hands ripple, and twelve recolored bodies emerge: Bolt's twelve puppets out of hammerspace! Each one stands to reveal pupilless eyes, as Bolt's pupils flow out. He closes his eyes, and one puppet covers his body, forming armor just to allow him to move)

(The WindClan soldiers and battle mages appear to confront this new threat.)

Badai: [turns to the WindClan Soldiers and batlle mages] Thank goodness you are here. The Trolls are attempting to take Dismal captive. We can't let them capture him. [turns to Bolt, Frost and Poison and aims his arrows at the three]

Bolt: Ha-HA! (powerful electricity flows from his hands, attacking the soldiers)

(Badai, Tatsuma, Hurikale, the soldiers and the mages easily dodges the electricity.)

Badai: [fires two arrows from the bowstring at Frost and Poison, but two of the puppets' get in front and take the attack; aims at Bolt] Now to take you down. [fires the arrow (which goes really fast) at Bolt]

(Bolt immediately teleports out of the way, then reappears.)

Bolt: Get going now, you two!!

(Frost and Poison run off to find Toxic and Dismal, as Bolt's puppets block the WindClan soldiers from chasing the two Troll brothers.)

Badai: [turns to Hurikale] What do we do, sir?

Hurikale: I've never seen someone with this kind of ability before...

Bolt: That's because this is the ability my father taught me, and I adapted to my twelve puppets. It allows me to control the body of an opponent, similar to breathbending, but more powerfully. It's the Nerve Overload technique.

(A female kingfisher points at Bolt.)

???: So you're telling us that you can control others to perform your own selfish deeds?!

Bolt: I am not my father. HE uses people to do that. I can, but I don't like to. Bubonic and Frost made me these puppets. One means I can move while controlling all twelve, the others help protect it.

Badai: [still aiming his arrows at Bolt]

Tatsuma: *thinking* Where are you, Blackmoon...?!

(A trench knife flies at Bolt's puppet-coated body, but the puppet forms a tail and knocks the arrow out of the air)

Bolt: So, the Breathbender reveals himself, in a foolish gesture. (Blackmoon stepped out of where he was hiding, before teleporting to next to Tatsuma)

Blackmoon: You called, I came.

Badai: [turns to Blackmoon] Thank goodness you are here, Blackmoon.

(Blackmoon eyes off Badai)

Blackmoon: Don't think I can stop him with Breathbending. Those puppets have nervous systems, but do not breath. I can't affect him with breathbending while he's in there.

Badai: [nods]

Bolt: You see? Even your only chance to control and beat me admits defeat! (All eleven puppets start revealing weapons and stolen powers) Now, see what my powers can truly do!

(In the medic hut...)

Taevas: (Sees Ghost) What the-?!

Ghost: Oh, did I scare you? I'm sorry. Heeheehee! (becomes corporeal and grabs Dismal) I'll just be taking him now.

Adiere: Yew get your paws offa 'im!! (charges at Ghost)

Ghost: (Holds out one hand and hits Adiere with Shadow Ball)

Adiere: AAAAAAAGH!!! (crashes into the wall)

Taevas: Addie!! (turns to Ghost) You...!!

Ghost: Heeheeheehee!! (Chaos Controls away with Dismal in tow)

Part 17
(Back with Badai and the others...)

Badai: [gets a sharp sense from his mind] No...

Bolt: Do you feel sadness? Fear? We can. I can. My puppets shall defeat you. (Two puppets both start using Earth-type techniques, raising the earth up to make a wall around Bolt and the others)

Bolt: Tunnel through, and my puppets will take you. Fly in, and I'll blast you with electricity. You have no choice to accept our terms. We shall take Dismal, and leave.

Badai: [his eyes slowly turn to anger] Sorry, but the WindClan soldiers do not accept defeat, Troll.

(Then, Ghost's voice is heard.)

Ghost(voice): Hey, Bolt, I already grabbed Dismal. We're back at the Moon Base now.

(Meanwhile, in Electric Clan territory, Kyle the Hedgehog appears, walking down a path.)

Kyle: Doo-da, doo-da-doo... hey, where am I?

(He's being watched...)

Tática: [watches Kyle, smiles deviously] A trespasser... [flies up and follows Kyle, unseen]

Kyle: Hmmm... (looks around, sarcastic tone) For some strange reason, I feel like I'm being watched! Now, WHY ON EARTH could that be?

Tática: [thinking; grins] ''Just keep on walking, trespasser. Just don't to anyhting clever to this village you're visiting...'' [still flying up and watching Kyle from below, unseen]

Kyle: (thinking) ''There's someone there alright. Now, how to lure 'em out?'' (out loud) Gee, I wonder what'll happen if I aim my hand at the air where, o'course, there's NOTHIN there but empty space, which would be IDEAL COVER FOR A SPY, and cause it to explode? Surely anyone up there would have to land, and reveal themselves, or be blasted out if the sky?

(Tática grins as what Kyle is going to do something to her. She is still gliding up from the sky, unseen by Kyle. Then, a huge explosion occurs next to her, blasting her out of the sky, but is protected by her Lightning Shield!)

Tática: Feisty one, ain't ya... [swoops down at high speeds] HA! [hits Kyle with Chain Lightning, electrocuting him instantly]

Kyle: YOWCH! Okay, that's it. You asked for this! EXPLOSIVE... SLAMDUNK! (vanishes in an explosion, then reappears in the same way, hanging from Tatica's legs) G'bye! (hurls Tatica into the ground, and exploding the spot on impact) And THAT'S whatcha get for messin with me. (vanishes in an explosion again, then reappears on the ground, and puts a boot on Tatica's wing, pinning her down) Now, why were ya spyin' on me?

(However, when Kyle was holding Tática down with his foot, it only ends up electrocuting himself because of her electrical fur!)

Tática: [giggles mischievously] You weren't supposed to be in the ElectricClan village, macho man! [flies up] You wouldn't hurt a child, now would ya? 'Cause if you do hurt me, you'll only hurt yourself!

Kyle: You'd be surprised the things I do. Wait... Electric Clan, as in, Haeos?

Tática: Exactly! If you're lost, then why don't I take you back home? [smiles innocent-like]

Kyle: I don't think that'll be a possibility, unless you can travel between dimensions. Anyway, I suggest you take me to your village, or I might decide to make a vital part of your body go boom. Like this! (glances at a nearby rock, it explodes in a huge fireball)

Tática: Actually, you can, and you will elave this village, or I will inform the leader about your actions! [released a wave of lightning and it hits Kyle, sending him back to Chaos City]

Kyle: (holds out a hand, and the lightning explodes) Oh, am I already in the village? Thanks for that. Now, take me to the head honcho here. NOW, if you dun't mind.

Tática: Well, you could've said please, but oh well! [snaps her fingers and a Zapdos emerges from the sky] Take this man to safety.

Zapdos: ZAAAAPPP!!!! [grabs onto Kyle's shoulders (carefully not crushing them) and flies away]

Kyle: Does this flight come with peanuts?

Zapdos: ZAAAAAAPPPP!!!!

(Zapdos continues flying until it takes Kyle back to Chaos City to safety as a few ElectricClan soldiers appear next to Tatica.)

Xokkanti: Oh, did the trespasser leave already?

(Meanwhile, near the G.U.N base, a small figure can be seen; it appears to be a young porcupine. His fur is damp, as if he had gotten soaked not too long ago, and he's shivering badly, with his arms wrapped around his chest and his tail dragging on the ground.)

???: *moan* I just HAD to fall into that river...

(Back at the Electric Clan village with Tática, she approaches towards Voltassa, the leader of the Electric Clan.)

Tática: I have gotten rid of the trespasser Voltassa. He will not be a problem invading our village.

Voltassa: Good work.

(Then, with a puff of smoke and a loud bang, Kyle the Hedgehog appears next to her.)

Kyle: Who, lil' ol' me?

(He is immediately confronted by the ElectricClan soldiers as Voltassa whips out her Raiju Spear and points it at Kyle.)

Tática: [smirks at Kyle] Wrong place, wrong time, kiddo!

Kyle: Kiddo? Kiddo? I'm 14, and you're 7. And I'm kiddo? Pu-lease. (to Voltassa) Yeah, might wanna put that down. Ya could take my eye out!

Voltassa: *sarcastically* Take your eye out? I wouldn't dream of it! (presses the spearhead against Kyle's throat)

Tática: [chuckles at Kyle] You're a feisty one, aren't you?

Kyle: (to Tatica) I lived most of my life as a human. Ya pick up a few tricks o' the trade. (to Voltassa) Good then. Cause then I'd have to blow up your pointy stick. M-hm. So, bottom-line me. What's the deal with these clans I've been hearing about?

Voltassa: None of your business, outsider!

Kyle: Outsider, am I? Despite the fact I've actually met half these gods you're on about. DESPITE the fact I've actually fought two of them.

Voltassa: What are you getting at...?!

Tática: [eyes narrow]

Kyle: AND DESPITE THE FACT that (points at Voltassa) once upon a freakin' time, I had the power of both Celery-itis and Voidstar at my command. Sooo... what's the deal with the clans?

(This seems to infuriate her.)

Voltassa: (Presses the spear-tip harder against Kyle's throat) You DARED to take the powers of two of the Elemental Gods?!

Kyle: I thought the power could cure me of myself... I was wrong. (closes eyes) It just made things worse.

Voltassa: "Cure" yourself? Of what?

Tática: ..... [moves next to Voltassa (since she thinks that Kyle could be a spy)]

Kyle: ...of myself... the part of me that never shoulda seen the light... but with the extra dark power... it just got stronger and stronger, until... Phambeto.

Voltassa: ......

Kyle: One blast, just one demonic attack... the demon energy became part of me, and all the dark energy... not just Voidstar's, but that part of me, the darker one... and my inner demons... all of it combined, until he was born.

(Voltassa lowers her spear, not taking her eyes off of Kyle.)

Kyle: You don't ever want to cross him. Not even see him. (looks at Voltassa) You ever heard of the Blood God Ketsueki?

Voltassa: I don't believe so...

Kyle: Good. You don't want to. Okay, I'm gonna ask one more time. (slowly) What's the deal with these clans?

(Shingai the Weasel, Voltassa's second-in-command, glares suspiciously at Kyle.)

Shingai: I don't think we should trust this bloke, Chieftainess.

Tática: Indeed. He'd try to do something bad towards our village.

Kyle: OH, COME ON!!! What do I hafta do to get some info round here?

Voltassa: Maybe you could not threaten my people, hmm?

Kyle: Okay, that's a start. (turns to Tatica) Sorry about the threats an' everything. Sometimes, y'know, I just get angry. Sorry. ^_^

Tática: Meh. Mistakes happen anyway.

Kyle: (looks at Voltassa) Well?

Voltassa: Hmph. Very well...*sigh*...we've lost all contact with Haeos...none of our priests and priestesses can reach him... I suspect this has happened to the other Clans as well. And on top of that...

(A female rabbit with a silvery tube hooked on a belt loop walked in)

???: Who's this???

Voltassa: Ah, Elettricitá. This is...well, we don't know his name.

Elettricitá: So he brings nothing of use to us? Why is he still here then?

Voltassa: He claims to know Haeos, as well as some of the other Elemental Gods...

Part 18: Return to the IceClan Village
(At the Poison Clan village (which is located in Old Robotropolis), a four-armed, three-headed beast roams around the village, while his body is covered in toxic goo (which can't affect fellow Poison Clan soldiers and villagers)

Keneki: [roaming around the Poison Clan village, holding a sword in each hand] No trespassers so far.

(Back in the Troll Moon Base, Ghost arrives with Dismal. Quickly, members of Bolt's team returned, excluding Bolt himself)

Frost: Bolt's slowing them down. He literally used all his puppets to create a massive Chaos attack, like the Revenge Deathball Larry taught us but bigger, so we all left. He should return soon.

Ghost: Okay. (he looks at Dismal) You sure cause us a lot of problems, don't you? (throws Dismal to the ground)

Dismal: Uhn!!

(Mac walks in, with numerous of arrows embedded around his body)

Mac: [growls] I hate that winged douche-bag...

Ghost: Ah, can it, Mac. At least we got Dismal back, and Bolt's annihilated the entire Wind Clan village.

Mac: Yeah, Dismal's back. I just wish that idiot firefly hadn't put- [dies from blood loss that the arrows have embedded onto his body]

Ghost: ...

(Back in the FireClan Village...)

Fou: ....And that's how I got here. *takes a deep breath, then exhales*

Shageki: Oh, you poor thing...

Chaleur: Do you remember the ones who attacked you? What species they were, what gender?

Fou: Um.... I think I remember a wolf and a... hedgehog, I think.

Chaleur: I see...they must've been IceClan soldiers...

Drakath: Well, to have lived through that, you're quite the strong little parrot, aren't you?

Chaleur: I don't think he's a parrot, sir...

Shageki: I believe he stated he was a phoenix actually.

Drakath: What!? *laughs, then leans down so his face is close to Fou's* How could this little guy be a powerful phoenix?

Fou: ......*snorts, blasting Drakath in the face with a bit of fire*

Chaleur: !

Drakath: *gets back up and stumbles back a bit, sputtering and patting on his face*

Chaleur: Uhh...

(Meanwhile, Akemi has arrived into the Fire Village)

Akemi: *Looks around, and talks to his wrist communicator* I am within the village. Now it's time to do what I do best...lie.


 * (Sorry I took so long with actually doing this Ryu, but now Akemi can fight the fire clan leader!)

(At the Water Clan village...a blue shark can see seen swimming around the ocean of the WaterClan village)

Pasang: [swimming around]

(Back with Johnny and Alyssa...)

Johnny: [wearing numerous of anti-freezing jackets, pants, even snow gloves so he can hide his fire powers] I'm ready.

(So the three walks off and they head torwards the IceClan Village. Back near the G.U.N base, night has fallen as the young porcupine finds the HQ.)

???: What the-? (slowly approaches the HQ) What place is this...?

(Up on the building battlements, some soldiers manning the searchlights happen to see the silhouette of the porcupine.)

Soldier 1: I think we've got an intruder...(moves the searchlight towards the silhouette)

(The porcupine sees the bright circle of light coming at him.)

???: *gasp*

(Soon, more of the searchlights are coming after him! In his panic, the porcupine runs towards the HQ, rather than away.)

Soldier 2: It's moving towards the west wall! Get the searchlights over there!

(The many searchlights chase after the porcupine, who finally trips.)

???: Uhn!

(One of the searchlights lands on him!)

???: *yelp* (freezes up in a panic)

Soldier 1: There's the intruder!

???: *thinking* Oh no...what do I do now?!

(Stephan, the older brother of Sara and Kat walks out and simply grabs the porcupine)

Stephen: What are you doing here?

???: AAAGH!!! (in a panic, accidentally electrocutes Stephan)

(Stephen stays upright by redirecting the electricity, but lets go of the porcupine in the process. The porcupine turns to face Stephan, shaking fearfully but trying to look brave and defiant.)

???: Whaddaya think you're doing, sneaking up on a guy and grabbing him, eh?!

Stephan: You were terrified, and appeared to be sneaking into the base. It was either one of my allies grabbed you, or you get shot at by GUN soliders. Who are you, and why are you here?

???: None of your bu...bu...bwaaAACHOO!! (electricity shoots off of his body; rubs nose) None of your business...

Stephen: Look, you seem tired and sick. Come into the base, and I'll get another electrokinetic to help you out. I promise. (Stephen hands the porcupine a hankie)

???: ............I don't trust G.U.N. They're bad people...I had no idea this was even their base! (he sneezes again, shooting off more electricity)

Stephen: I'm not part of GUN. I'm an elemental, and you need a doctor. You seem sick.

???: .....okay...

(Stephen stands lightly, motioning at the GUN soldiers, forcing their guns to point at the ground as he gestured for the porcupine to follow him in. The youngster does, eyeing the soldiers suspiciously and fearfully as he followed Stephan.)

Stephen: Oh, don't worry, they can't shoot. If they tried, the gun would jam. I'm able to use some Electrokinesis, but my area with it is magnetism. I magnetized the guns.

???: Magnetized them? *sneezes*

Stephen: Yeah. I made the guns attract metal, in particular steel and lead. If they tried to shoot, the gun wouldn't want to fire because it's permanently magnetic. I'll take you to the med bay. One of my friends is in there, so there should be a group of them with him.

???: Okay...

(Stephen entered the medical bay, seeing Julien still unconcious. Ebony, Flare and Sara were there)

Flare: Oh, hi Stephen. What brings you here?

Stephen: One electrokinetic kid.

Flare: Huh?

???: ............

Flare: OH! Hello, little guy. Are you ok? (Flare seemed to study the porcupine, then looked up) His core tempreture is low. How long has he been out, and who is he? (Flare motions to an empty bed) Little one, lie down. My name is Flare, and I'll be able to help you.

???: Okay...(goes to the bed and sits on it)

Flare: Sara, get me some blankets, and probably some soup. This kid needs to be warmed up. (To the young porcupine) What's your name, youngster?

Fulguro: F-F-Fulguro...

Flare: Wait, that sounds like a name from the Electric Clan! You've come a long way, haven't you? Why come all the way out here, when home is safer?

Fulguro: I was trying to get back home...see, I was out exploring, and I fell in the river...I washed up near here eventually.....

Flare: Well, I feel that it should be our duty to help you get home. Stephen, do you want to pick, I don't know, three or four people to go with you, then do so. I'm placing him in your care...when I feel he's strong enough to go. (Sara returns with a small bowl of soup and some blankets which she sets around Fulguro. Flare grabs a tray and sits it before Fulguro) Go ahead, eat. You must be hungry.

Fulguro: Uhh...thanks....

Stephen: Um, sure, Flare. I'll think about who to take. But you're right, he's sneezing too much and twitching lightning around the place. That's not safe for us to deal with.

Flare: Besides, I bet his sister is worried about him...I wish Siobhan was here. She's on better terms with the Electric Clan than any of us.

Fulguro: Wha-*sneezes*-you know my sister?!

Flare: Not personally. Siobhan, another of our friends, is a master of electricity, and I'm pretty sure that she's met your sister. I've heard of her though, and I bet she'd be worried about you.

Fulguro: Yeah...

Flare: We'll get you better, then Stephan will take you home. I promise.

Fulguro: Okay...

(A group of GUN scientists were eyeing off Fulguro, and the leader stormed up to Flare)

Scientist: That is unreasonable! He's sick! You can't just take command of our medical bay and...

Flare: I've been suspicious of you guys for a long time. Prove me wrong.

Fulguro: ...

Scientist: I demand him to be handed to us immediately!

Stephen: In the words of my sister...KISS MY TAIL!

(Fulguro eyes the scientists fearfully.)

Fulguro: ..........

Flare: If you have a big problem with it, write a letter to Statyx. He'll be happy to know that you want to experiment on a kid. A KID!

(Back at the IceClan village...)

Bevriezen: [sees the three (Alyssa, Johnny and Siobhan) and looks at Johnny in a suspicious manner] ...

(Siobhan bends a wall of Ice into an igloo shape, before lying in it)

Mickey: "Okay, I'm back from climbing the peak...."

[Mickey has an Iced Mustache.]

(Back in the Troll Moon Base, Ghost drags Dismal back into Bubonic's lab.)

Dismal: P-Please, no!! I d-d-don't wanna go back!! I DON'T WANNA GO BAAAACK!! *sobbing*

Ghost: So sue me.

(Ghost reaches Bubonic's lab and opens the door, dragging Dismal inside.)

Bubonic: It's about time.

Ghost: Yeah, we finally got the little brat. (throws Dismal onto the bench)

Dismal: (Lands hard) Uhn!!

(Robo-Claws immediately shoot out of the bench and pin Dismal down on his stomach.)

Dismal: AAAGH!! L-Let go!!

Ghost: No chance! We can't risk you wandering off again.

Dismal: *crying*

Bubonic: Dismal, quit your crying. (pulls out a syringe) Now, let's see how well these Helper Robo-Claws that Torque installed work. *snaps fingers*

(A Robo-Claw appears out of the bench and grabs Dismal's tail, moving it down.)

Dismal: *yelp* Wh-What's going on?!

(Two more claws, the latter holding a cotton ball soaked in antiseptic, work together; the first goes towards the base of Dismal's tail, near the spinal cord, and pushes the fur away from the skin. The one with the cotton ball disinfects the area.)

Bubonic: Hehehe, it works perfectly. (sticks the needle into the disinfected area)
 * (Ryu-What do you think of the Claws Bubonic had Torque install?)

Dismal: WAAAAAAAAH!!

Bubonic: (Removes needle) There we go.

Dismal: *crying* L-Let me g-g-go!! P-Please!!

Ghost: No need for that, runt! We need you to be healed, so we can remove that nice tech in your arm for Reaper.

Dismal: *whimper* I-I-Is this g-gonna h-h-hurt...?

Ghost: I would say so. Enjoy it, and Tantrum might not hurt you afterwords...much.
