(Some apartment room, 2019)
News Reporter: This just in, a massive gaming tournament hosted by TASCORP has been under attack by an unknown bug. The apprehenders may not been found, but the company announced that they had a new member in their team.
(As soon as he saw Tari, he got pissed)
??????: Tari?! How's that possible? I saw you blown to bits back then. I need to get to the bottom of this. But how???
???: I think i can help that.
(The distraught person then looks on his phone, where it shows a red glowing light)
???: Sheridan, i would like to meet your assistance.
Sheridan: How did you get here? & what do you mean?
???: I got a plan to exact your revenge. But this will take a lot of time, so you better keep up.
Sheridan: I'm listening...
~December 7, Trio's house~
(It has been 3.3 months since the WOTFI rebellion. Here, Lo is going to celebrate his 2nd birthday on Earth when...)
Kel: Lo, you better keep up.
Lo: I'm coming. Not gonna miss my second birthday/baby shower, would it?
Maya: Wait up. (tries shining her metal claws) I just need to polish these first.
Lo: Maya, i know you'll get your mitts on the cake first, but is that necessary?
Maya: I had to.
(Suddenly, Lo's screen then emits a pinkish energy as it sputtered out of control)
Kel: Whoa man, did you update your antivirus software? Let's hope it ain't Bob trying to send more texts.
Lo: I did. This really isn't gonna end well.
(The screen then creates a portal on the floor where it swallowed the three up. Mario, having to pick up the three, has seen it in action)
Mario: Ah no!
i forgot to kick Jubjub today!
(As the three are warping to the next world, the couple starts to take a new form.)
Maya: What's happening???
Kel: Wait, (notices the portal's theme) wing emblems, binary code, we're heading back to Silica City!
Maya: Hold on, back then, you & Lo had became TASCORP employees. How am i supposed to fit in with the others?
Lo: I don't think you have to.
Maya: What?!
~TASCORP HQ, corridor, 6 In-universe months later~
Lucks: How many months is there since we last seen the two?
Belle: Currently 6 months, sir.
Lucks: Impossible. If they're gonna make us wait even later (opens the door), so help me, i- (notices Belle & Tari being shocked on what they saw) Oh come on, what are you-
(then he gets shocked seeing both Lo & a girl [actually Zel in her recent form] making out)
Lo: Hi there boss.
Lucks: Lo, who is this strange girl?
Kel: Do you remember me, Lucks?
Tari: Zel...
Kel: That's right Tari, but i go by Kel right now.
Lucks: How is that even possible?
Lo: I was so glad you asked...
Lucks: Hold it right here, all of you should start getting some rest for now (& i'mma need some on my own). Belle, can you please follow them to their rooms?
Belle: Yes sir.
Lo: I hope it's a duplex.
Lucks: It will actually be seperate, just to avoid any distractions.
Both (Lo & Kel): Wait what?
~Silica Alleyway~
Lamar: Geez Masa, where did you get yourself into?
Maya: Who's Masa?
(Both Lamar & Sofia turned around to notice a teenage girl dangling on the flagpole)
Sofia: He's... (tries thinking of a lie) my second cousin.
Maya: Really? Is that all you can think of?
Lamar: Excuse me, but how do you know on us anyhow?
Maya: Because i'm one of Lo & Zel's friends. (jumps off the pole & lands on her feet) & think they're yours too.
~Earlier, TASCORP Office~
(The portal then opens as the three came out)
Maya: Ah, my back. Is this TASCORP?
(The gang then looks as gamers are forced to play senselessly)
Kel: Yep, that's TASCORP.
Lo: I kinda assumed it be more cheerful.
(That's when they hear Lucks & the others walking on their way)
Maya: Well, i'm outta here. You got a plan?
Lo: (looks onto the vents) Climb out of here & go down. It'll lead you to the dumpster so scurry off as fast as you can. We got this.
Maya: On it. (leaps in the vents as Lo & Kel starts distracting them)
Maya: That's how i ended up here.
Lamar: & i assume you're one of their otherworldly friends, huh? (looks on her body) Niiiice.
Sofia: (shrugs him off) Don't do it.
Maya: Guys, i'm not sure about this, (points to the black hooded player) but is this the guy you're looking for?
Lamar: Sure is. Wanna come with us?
Maya: You better bet your game account i will.
~TASCORP Room~
(On their own rooms [which looked like cushionless Swedish prisons], Lo starts his feed with Theo)
Lo: Is this thing on?
Theo: That voice... is that? (sees Lo) Lo, it is you! (rushes to the screen, only to stop seeing what happened) How've you been?
Lo: Well, i've been worse. Do you got the story from Kel?
Theo: Yep. The fact that you saved the world from a homicidal ink maniac is way cool. & you sure are a sly one with that progress you're getting.
Lo: Guilty as charged.
Theo: (notices something's up on Lo's arm screen) Lo, mind you check what's going on at that arm of yours.
Lo: Well, i assumed it was... (sees that glitchy pink screen on his arm) Yeah, this is bad.
~Masa's place, Silica City Apartment~
Lamar: Hold on because we one more speed bump we gotta get over. Tari and Theo.
Masa: …What about them?
Lamar: What about them? They are stuck in TASCorp being used by Lucks as human shields! They are our friends! And they are in danger!
Masa: They ARE not our friends!!! Theo was a spy and Tari was involved with that Project Blue and Doctor Sheridan! I don't even care about those 2 blond time-jumpers.
Maya: Excuse me, but they are my closest friends!
Masa: How would you suppose to know?
Maya: (uses her claws for intimidation) Those two had risked their lives to give me another chance. I don't know about all this Sheridan nonsense is going on, but people change.
Lamar: (shocked onto her razor-sharp claws) ooooooooooo, i see....
Neighbour: *enters again* KNOCK KNOCK! Hey Masa, can i-
Maya: SHUT IT, YOU INSOLENT AIRHEAD!!!
Neighbour: Oh. I'll come back later *leaves again*
Lamar: I don't know about them Project Blue mess, but we made a promise for them. We promise we'll keep them safe & we did'nt! I'm dunno if you'd left more than just your arm at the arena, but the Masa they'd know would keep a promise.
Sofia: We would'nt be here if it were'nt the sacrifices they made. We owed them, Masa.
Masa: *lightens up* Ok, a promise is a promise. We'll get them outta here.
Lamar: Now, we found Masa!
Maya: Alright team, what's our next target?
Sofia: oh, it will be tricky, considering you need that new arm of yours. But i knew a way we can win one.
(Masa then smiles as another plan comes in store)
