\u201cGi, leave this universe!\u201d demanded Emily as she readied her Vortex Driver. \u201cWe do not want the situation to escalate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have too much riding on this!\u201d replied Gi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got failure riding on this!\u201d challenged Sophie as she brought out her Herald Henshin Phone. Famine brought out her Famine Driver and Lacey got out her Apocalypse Driver. Gi brought out her Cyber-phone and Hana brought out her Shocker Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLast chance!\u201d warned Hana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve already failed!\u201d called Lurazzi. \u201cWe\u2019re back on Adrexia Prime! You don\u2019t have the Source and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAuriella told us where she stashed it,\u201d said Femfaf. \u201cWe\u2019ll get it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, you won\u2019t!\u201d declared Emily. She fastened her Vortex Driver on, Famine and Lacey fastened their belts, Sophie and Gi dialed their respective numbers into heir phones, and Hana fastened her belt. Emily and Hana got out their ID Tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d shouted all the Riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFamine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApocalypse!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBLITZ! Hito yon\u2019de Akuma no Shocker! Hito yon\u2019de Akuma no Shocker!\u201d Hana\u2019s Rider Form adopted the look of Hermes and had a feather-pattern skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026So, you\u2019re called Kamen Rider Blitz, yeah?\u201d asked Touch\u00e9. \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause of THIS!\u201d Blitz ran at Touch\u00e9 and slammed a fist into her gut! That started the fight! Peace stayed out of the fight (it\u2019s in her nature and name not to fight) as the Adrexians fought the Lords while Touch\u00e9 and her team fought their commanders. With Blitz running around, causing havoc, it was hard for Touch\u00e9 to coordinate any proper assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverride, take over command!\u201d said Touch\u00e9. \u201cI\u2019ve got an annoyance to deal with!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight!\u201d replied Override. Touch\u00e9 then swapped out her ID tag with one emblazoned with a certain hedgehog\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSonic the Hedgehog Steel!\u201d announced her Vortex Driver. Armor pieces based on Sonic, complete with a quill attachment for the back of the helmet, were then fastened onto her and she caught Blitz\u2019s next punch. Now they were on equal footing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStill can\u2019t fight right, old-timer!\u201d cackled Blitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOld-timer, huh?\u201d Touch\u00e9 then spin-dashed Blitz, unfolded, then delivered a punch straight to her belt. Blitz then slowed down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMY SPEED POWERS! THAT\u2019S FIGHTING DIRTY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAw, bless your heart!\u201d replied Touch\u00e9. She then grabbed Blitz and slammed her into a tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over with Gi and her forces, things were faring no better. Override proved to be a more competent commander than she was led to believe. Her intel on the current Nitro Convoy was that she was always running from her problems like the average Velocitronian. She was not made aware of the war between Optimus and Megatron causing her to officially declare Velocitron an Autobot ally. Because of that lack of information, Gi couldn\u2019t get the proper orders out to her troops fast enough, even if she had connected her part of the Cyberiad to the Lord Hive. They were being overwhelmed. \u201cBACK!\u201d she called. \u201cALL FORCES, RETREAT!\u201d She and Remsu covered the retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWE GOT THEM ON THE RUN!\u201d called Bashoon. She fired a shot from her wand and stunned Remsu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cREMSU!\u201d called Femfaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLeave her!\u201d ordered Gi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t rescue her now and our enemies will keep her alive and healthy! The only X-Factor is if she\u2019s somehow forced to reveal everything! We\u2019ll rescue her when we regroup!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Understood!\u201d snarled Femfaf as everyone retreated through escape rifts. Vines then bound Remsu\u2019s arms as she woke up. Cosmo stood over her as Malnar approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, well, well,\u201d cooed the Under-Queen. \u201cWhat is this? A sight I never got to see during the Final War?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLaugh it up!\u201d hissed Remsu. \u201cI\u2019ll never talk, Captain<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, you\u2019ll be talking!\u201d promised Malnar. \u201cCount on it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remsu was taken to a police station (still overgrown with plants) and brought to an interrogation room. Outside the room, Emily, Scorpainia, Geltar, Malnar, and Cosmo were discussing how to get the location of the Source out of Remsu. \u201cHow resistant to torture is she?\u201d asked Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHighly,\u201d replied Malnar. \u201cShe couldn\u2019t break during the Final War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s always the good cop bad cop routine,\u201d said Scorpainia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have Cosmo and Mama Malnar,\u201d remarked Geltar. \u201c\u2026But Remsu probably already knows how temperamental Mama can get. \u2026Er, no offense, Mama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNone taken, because you\u2019re right,\u201d replied Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaybe I can be the bad cop?\u201d offered Cosmo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCosmo, no offense, but you\u2019re a little too gentle,\u201d said Geltar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGeltar Royana!\u201d hissed Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cActually,\u201d said Scorpainia, \u201cwe can still use Cosmo\u2019s gentleness and Malnar\u2019s temperament to our advantage.\u201d Malnar and Cosmo each arched an eyebrow at Scorpainia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remsu waited in the room for a while, then Cosmo opened the door roughly. \u201cAll right, Remsu Borg!\u201d she snarled. \u201cI need a location and I need it NOW!\u201d She slammed the door so hard, the glass of the one-way mirror cracked. Cosmo flinched. \u201cEr\u2026oops!\u201d she gulped. \u201cS-Sorry, Ma-\u2026\u201d She then shook her head and resumed her routine at the currently perplexed Remsu. \u201cI-I mean, that\u2019s nothing compared to what I\u2019m about to do to you, Remsu, if I don\u2019t get what I want NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026What?\u201d asked Remsu, thoroughly confused. Malnar calmly walked in and sat on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou better watch yourself with a Seedrian, old friend,\u201d she said in a calming, but venomous tone. \u201cAny little thing can set them off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe walking rose bush?\u201d scoffed Remsu. \u201cMalnar, are we talking about the same girl here?\u201d Cosmo snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy don\u2019t you step outside, Malnar?\u201d she hissed. \u201cI want to have a little private conversation with Remsu!\u201d She then summoned a bright ball of light. \u201cLet\u2019s put a little light on the subject!\u201d Remsu squinted and shielded her eyes from the brightness of Cosmo\u2019s solar ball. \u201cOh\u2026sorry,\u201d said Cosmo. \u201cToo bright? \u2026I-I mean, that\u2019s nothing compared to the damage a solar ball can do to your body! You\u2019ll be redder than a tomato! So\u2026TALK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCoffee?\u201d asked Malnar as she offered a cup to Remsu, suddenly appearing at her side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGAH! Don\u2019t do that!\u201d protested Remsu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thought you might like coffee. It\u2019s good.\u201d Malnar then smiled wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWh-Why are you showing me your teeth?!\u201d shuddered Remsu. \u201cWhat IS that?!\u201d Cosmo suddenly grabbed Remsu by the shoulders and yanked her close to her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re gonna need that coffee when I\u2019m through with you!\u201d she snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoughnut?\u201d offered Malnar as she brought a doughnut out. Remsu shoved Malnar away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!\u201d she yelped, really scared about Malnar\u2019s uncharacteristic gentleness. \u201cIS IT POISON?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s chocolate. Straight from the Under-realm,\u201d replied Malnar calmly. That was too much for Remsu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT ALREADY! I\u2019LL TALK! I\u2019LL TALK! I\u2019LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING! JUST GET HER OUT OF HERE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Scorpainia, that was sheer genius!\u201d giggled Emily as she, Geltar, and Scorpainia saw the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s just say Cyber-priestess Gi\u2019s reaction to Override\u2019s ability to command a situation inspired me a bit,\u201d replied Scorpainia. Malnar and Cosmo brought Remsu out of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Source is on top of the Royal Minaret of the First Palace,\u201d reported Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m gonna hurt you when I get free, you know that?\u201d hissed Remsu as an Adrexian led her away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLadies, we\u2019re one step closer to securing the Source!\u201d cheered Emily as she and her friends fist bumped. \u2026Their faces then contorted in pain and they clutched their wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026We didn\u2019t brace our wrists, did we?\u201d groaned Scorpainia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, no we didn\u2019t!\u201d confirmed Emily through gritted teeth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cGi, leave this universe!\u201d demanded Emily as she readied her Vortex Driver. \u201cWe do not want the situation to escalate!\u201d \u201cI have too much riding on this!\u201d replied Gi. \u201cYou\u2019ve got failure riding on this!\u201d challenged Sophie as she brought out her Herald Henshin Phone.
