Reunion

(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)
