\u201cSeeing her squirm like that must have been cathartic!\u201d Elmpam said to Malnar as they, their team, Peace, Lurazzi, and Remsu headed to the First Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have no idea, Mama!\u201d replied Malnar. \u201cAfter so many failed interrogations during the Final War-!\u201d Remsu\u2019s tail then hit her in the back of the head. \u201c\u2026Not nearly fuzzy enough for my tastes,\u201d snarked Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo the walking meatloaf doesn\u2019t get to do that?\u201d hissed Remsu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, he\u2019s got enough hair on his tail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBestiality at its finest.\u201d Remsu then looked at Elmpam. \u201cLike Father, like daughter, I guess.\u201d That comment made Elmpam growl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnough, y\u2019all!\u201d called Emily. \u201cIt looks like we\u2019re here.\u201d Even when overgrown, the First Palace was quite opulent. Peace then saw something atop a minaret. It was a sphere with her color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it!\u201d she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor you, yes!\u201d replied Remsu. She broke the vines holding her hands together and the Lords popped out with Remsu\u2019s team at the front!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs predicted, you blundered right into our trap,\u201d called Cyber-priestess Gi. \u201cIt was a simple matter for one of our number with the greatest grudge against members of your team to be your prisoner. \u2026Although, you ARE early.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou were supposed to be the bad cop, Malnar!\u201d called Remsu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, so your fear WAS genuine, huh?\u201d chuckled Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt matters not!\u201d interjected Gi. \u201cNow, we will be taking the Source for our organization and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou couldn\u2019t control Lacey\u2019s source when you were just a Cyber-leader in Crystal Tokyo,\u201d retorted Emily. \u201cWhat hope do you have now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSee, the thing is, I\u2019m not intending on using it. As you correctly guess, my use of the Source of Chaos led to Lacey perverting my instructions, but I won\u2019t let Peace do the same with hers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCyber-priestess Gi, I\u2019m giving you a final warning because I\u2019m nice. Leave this universe. Let us take the Source.\u201d Gi smirked at Emily\u2019s warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have neither the handles nor the enlarged cranium to command me!\u201d Emily rolled her eyes at Gi\u2019s refusal and turned to her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI tried?\u201d she asked them. \u201cI really tried? You all heard me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll of us,\u201d replied Elmpam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd she still refused,\u201d said Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen there\u2019s no choice,\u201d sighed Emily as she brought out her belt. All the Kamen Riders from all sides followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d they all shouted and the battle began as their armor appeared. As before, the Adrexians fought the Lords. As they fought, however, one Lord appeared to be attacking her own team, taking bits off of their prosthetics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHEY! HEY! THAT\u2019S MY HEAD TUBE!\u201d called one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGIMME MY CLAW BACK!\u201d shouted another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMY LEG!\u201d cried a third. Gi as Adaptus and Touch\u00e9 heard the confusion and looked to see the renegade Lord taking bits off her compatriots and making a device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDrone, explain yourself!\u201d demanded Adaptus. \u201cWhat\u2019s with the mix table?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a mix table!\u201d replied the Lord. \u201cHow many times do I have to tell everyone I\u2019m not a DJ?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWYLDSTYLE!\u201d cheered Touch\u00e9. Wyldstyle tossed Peace the strange device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat should get the Source off the minaret!\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep my old buddies off your back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Is this opportunity I hear ringing?\u201d said Peace. She then dashed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSTOP THAT HORSEMAN!\u201d ordered Adaptus. Touch\u00e9 and her team intercepted the pursuing Lords and fought them, but a team of four-legged beasts, with the tell-tale signs of Borg assimilation, leapt over their heads, barking like dogs. They looked like larger wolves with their organic eyes blazing with malevolent intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWargs!\u201d breathed Touch\u00e9. \u201cAssimilated Wargs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSwiped straight from a place called Gundabad when Mordor was in power!\u201d replied Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGundabad, huh?\u201d asked Touch\u00e9. She then summoned her Machine Vortexer and pulled out an ID tag. \u201cOverride, you and the team keep the enemy busy. I\u2019ll draw the Warg Lords off Peace\u2019s tail!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWyldstyle just got through saying that these are Gundabad Wargs!\u201d protested Override. \u201cThey\u2019ll outrun you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Machine Vortexer can account for the prosthetics. And when it syncs up with the ID tag, it will add the speed of Rhosgobel rabbits!\u201d Touch\u00e9 revealed that her ID tag had a picture of Radagast the Brown. \u201cI\u2019d like to see them try!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace had quickly entered the First Palace and made her way to where the minaret stood. She heard the howling of the Warg Lords and looked back. \u201c\u2026Time to climb quickly!\u201d she muttered as she found footholds in the minaret\u2019s exterior. Even in a dress as big as hers, Peace could climb quickly. The Warg Lords, sadly, saw the footholds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGo away, girls!\u201d taunted Touch\u00e9\u2019s voice as she arrived in Radagast steel atop her Machine Vortexer. \u201cIt\u2019s not bird-nesting time!\u201d The Warg Lords snapped at her in their evil language and chased her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026She\u2019s put herself at risk for a stranger,\u201d Peace muttered to herself. \u201c\u2026Right, better use the Source when I get up there!\u201d Peace began to climb faster. She made it to the top and attached Wyldstyle\u2019s device to the Source. The device burned the bonds holding the Source away and Peace caught it before it fell. \u201cAll right, time to end this!\u201d The Source glowed and she thrust it into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The battle raged on, no one knowing what Peace was doing. Override was doing what she could to keep Adaptus at bay. \u201cI don\u2019t understand,\u201d said the Cyber Rider. \u201cYou are machine-life! Technological perfection! Yet you still embrace chaos!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat you call chaos, I call order!\u201d replied Override.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re malfunctioning! I\u2019ll fix that!\u201d Adaptus was about ready to key in the number code for her Rider Kick, then her attention was grabbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDEATH HERALD KICK!\u201d shouted Herald B as she sailed through the air and slammed her foot into Adaptus. Adaptus fell to the ground, her armor sparking before it vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2026you miserable runt!\u201d snarled the Cyber-Priestess. \u201cYou undersized\u2026HOBBIT!\u201d She was about to leap at Herald B\u2026when a great drowsiness seized her. The eyelid of her organic eye became heavy and her shoulders sagged. Her body toppled over with a heavy thud and she began snoring. She wasn\u2019t the first to be affected by the sleepiness. Override, Cosmo, Emily, Lurazzi, the Lords, Hana, they all fell asleep. All\u2026but Peace. She had climbed down the minaret and looked across the once noisy battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026That\u2019s the general battle taken care of,\u201d she said to herself. \u201cNow\u2026to deal with the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
