64. CP10

KND Moonbase

Wendy Corduroy, Hoagie, and Garry were placed on hospital beds in Moonbase, blankets over their bodies. "I can't believe this happened…" Cheren said with remorse.

"Hoagie…" Haylee choked back tears. She and her brothers removed their hats in respect. "What did he do to deserve this…"

"WENDY!" Dipper Pines ran up to the copper-haired teen. "It's not true! This can't be happening! I had it all planned out!" He took out a notepad. "August 31st, we turn 13, get promoted to Teens Next Door, and I go on a bunch of super dangerous missions with Wendy, our bond becomes stronger over time, eventually I save her from some samurai in motorcycle gear, then we finally confess our true feelings! She can't…she can't be…"

Mabel was already sobbing. Wendy would've waken up to her brother's shouting by now. But there was no denying it… Wendy was dead.

"This looks like the room." A voice that belonged to April Goldenweek said, leading her cousins inside.

"April, who are these two?" Cheren asked.

"They're Ib and Mary, the ones I told you about." April answered. "I thought you knew Mary."

"I… did?" Cheren's mind felt foggy at that statement.

"Garry!" Ib ran up to the older man that protected her in the cursed gallery, Mary by her side. "Y-You can't…you can't be dead again!"

"Who would do this…" Mary sobbed. "I gave up my reality to bring him back… and now he's…"

"CP10." Corporate President Mom stated.

"Who?"

"That's the name you said was painted on the wall, wasn't it?!" she shouted. "I knew the Government would send those clowns after you the minute you killed Carter."

"Tell us about them, what are they like?" Cheren ordered.

"The World Government has special units called Cipher Pols who each specialize in certain tasks, i.e. science or strategy… CP10's specialty is assassination. None of the members' identities are known to anyone except the World Leaders. They're trained to master a martial art called Rokushiki."

"I remember that!" Aurora exclaimed. "When I fought Wolf on Coruscant, he used Rokushiki and mentioned CP10. Same with Black John. …But Wolf is an alien."

"So am I." Mom reminded. "Coruscant has connections with Earth's Government, that's how outsiders like me or Giovanni can work for them. Sometimes, information about our Government leaks to Coruscant's streets… through me." She smirked. "If you've seen Rokushiki, you've seen only a small example of what CP10 is capable of. They have mastered all Six Powers of the art:"

"Iron Body, which makes them nearly invincible." They pictured a shadow person standing perfectly still while another person lays punches that don't affect. "Paper Art, making them as flexible as paper." The shadow swiftly dodged the other shadow's punches. "Finger Pistol, where their fingers pierce flesh like a bullet." They pictured the first shadow person piercing his assaulter in the neck. "Moon Walk, the art of jumping in the air." The shadow kicked his legs several times and floated higher. "Shave, to move at lightspeed." The shadow zipped place to place in milliseconds. "And Tempest Kick, to cut the very air with your legs." The shadow spun his leg, sent a shockwave through the air, and chopped down some buildings.

"Ordinarily, they're only called to handle special, secret assignments." Mom continued. "However, the Leaders didn't want to send them against the KND and create a disturbance. Judging by what happened, it seems that order is out the window. You're too far in the Twenty Keys Quest AND you killed two Corporate Presidents. If CP10 left their signature, they must be trying to warn you. Or challenge you."

"I'm glad they didn't, but why didn't CP10 just… kill them?" Cheren asked with a tinge in his heart.

"CP10 doesn't like easy prey… nor do they like a person's death to be fast and painless. Unless they were specifically ordered to kill, they'll take their time."

"The bottom line is that they're twisted." Aurora stated. "And it sounds like we'll really need to fight them."

"They can't be all they're hyped to be." Cheren said. "They can't be as strong as the World Leaders, or Viridi, or Majora."

"Well, none of US fought battles like you, Sheila, or Nebula!"

"My point is, while we shouldn't underestimate them, we shouldn't talk them up, either. Our experiences are different from theirs. We have an advantage!" Cheren grinned confidently. "Even their 10 members can't fight the entire Kids Next Door!"

"They have seven members." Mom corrected. "You might have an advantage in numbers, but they can easily pick you off a few at a time. They wouldn't just show up and fight you in broad daylight."

"Then we need to caution all operatives to stay together and be on their guards. There's no telling who they'll aim for next. …Now that we're talking about it, Mom, how come Aunt Morgan didn't send CP10 after you?"

"Because she wasn't 'special' enough for them." Artie remarked.

"Don't act like you're worth a challenge either!" Mom shouted.

Azultown, Brazil; night

"Ahh, all finished!" Marine brushed the sweat off her forehead after putting the final touches on the hovering speedboat she was constructing. "'ere's your water-air bike, Mr. Guy!" She presented the bike to the man in the green jacket, known as Exposition Guy. "Complete with GPS, warning lights, and immune to rust!"

"Gee, thanks, Marine!" The guy beamed as he climbed on the craft. "I run around so much, I end up in the most random places! This bike is gonna help a ton. See you on down the road!" He sped off.

"Anytime, mate!" Marine raised her wrench proudly. "Well, Lucci, I'm closin' up for the night." She called to her hammer-wielding coworker. "Put that hammer back when yer done playing with it!"

"Aye-aye, Captain! Coo-kachoo!" Lucci's pigeon, Hattori cawed.

Marine walked the Azultown streets alone. Her house was located all the way across town from the seaside shipyard, but Marine always enjoyed a good venture. When Marine felt her shorts pocket—something was missing. "Uh-oh! I left me wallet at the shipyard! I hope Lucci doesn't take it and go out clubbing."

So she raced back to the shipyard and saw Hattori flying above in circles, going "Coo-kachoo! Coo-kachoo!"

"Good, he hasn't left yet." Marine walked around the piles of junk to the area where Hattori was circling. "'ey, Lucci, you seen my…?"

Her employee's legs were arched over a pile, and when Marine looked over to see the rest of his body, she gasped horrified. "Lucci! What in the devil's name…"

"It was to call you back here." A dark, quiet voice said from behind.

"Eh??" Marine turned around. Hattori fled the area as the raccoon stood face-to-face with a man in a dark cloak and lion's mask.

"Golden-Fist Marine." The man raised the bounty poster. "International criminal worth 8 million. We've been waiting for the green light to hunt you down."

"Ain't it just annoying when them red lights never change?" Marine smirked. "That's why I took a life at sea. No red lights, no stop signs, I'm just free!"

"Freedom has a price." Another person stood on a tall pile of junk. She had a woman's voice and was wearing a blue Rainbow Monkey mask. "There is a law that must be followed. And as far as the Government is concerned, you are guilty."

"Guilty of what? My ships are the best, AND I give people correct change!"

"It's not enough to clean up your mess!" A shorter man in a scarecrow mask with a pointy nose landed behind her and spoke with a peppy voice. "You're a pirate, Miss Raccoon! I hate to bop someone of your craftsmanship, but rules and regulations are important!"

"Yeah, but those same rules said you had to keep your gloves on in a boxing match." Marine pulled off her work gloves. "We're in my town, so I make the rules around here. HEYEAH!" She shot a sudden Light Fist at the short man, turned her legs golden, and zipped behind the lion-masked man to throw a Light Kick. (Play "Dark Clouds" from Naruto: Shippuden!)

Marine made a break for the town and yelled back, "But if you don't mind, I wanna take this to the roofs! Catch me if ya can!" She spun her tail like a helicopter and made a terrific leap to the sky, aiming to set foot on one of the skyscrapers. "Heh!" she breathed after doing so—her foot stepped on a wire. "What?!" A series of catapults from her left and right launched barrels with chi-block symbols. "Oi, foul play!" Marine lit her legs golden and jumped with lightspeed, landing on a higher roof—"AAAH!" her foot was snatched in a lasso that whipped down and bashed her against the side of the building, letting Marine hang.

"We were prepared in case you would try and run." Another girl wearing a bunny mask said, standing on the edge of the roof. "We have traps set up all over the city." The agent leapt off and kicked both feet down to send Marine plummeting to the ground.

"Grrr!" Marine spun her tail to soften her landing, glaring up at Rabbit Mask and punching two Light Fists up. She destroyed the edge she was on, but Rabbit Mask jumped and seemed to fly in the air.

"CAAAAW!" Marine saw an eagle flying in her direction, ready to stab with its talons, but she easily punched the bird away with a Light Fist. The eagle turned into another hooded figure upon hitting the ground, but when it got up, he was revealed to have a kangaroo mask. Marine's ears perked, hearing a faint sound behind her. She turned and saw a small black object flinging from across town. Marine realized it was Scarecrow Mask and jumped high before he could kick her—Kangaroo Mask zipped up and punched her from behind, flying Marine across several blocks.

The raccoon recovered and was surrounded by Lion Mask, Monkey Mask, and Rabbit Mask. "Sigh, 'guess a gal won't be getting her sleep tonight." Marine lit her fists gold and did a fist-palm, shining with more power as she forced columns of light to sprout up around her. "But I'm more than just a Golden Fist, you know!" She directed the light at the agents, but they each dodged with Shave, and Lion Mask appeared behind to stab a Finger Pistol. Marine swiftly dodged and kicked up at his mask, knocking the man a few feet.

That's when a new agent with a hamster mask flew overhead and swung a Tempest Kick, but Marine blocked it with a Light Slice from her leg. She punched Light Spheres, but the agent evaded with timed Moon Walks. Kangaroo Mask became an actual kangaroo, hopping in front of Marine and throwing quick punches. Marine swiftly evaded and kicked at his stomach, but the kangaroo jumped and kicked her in the face. Marine bounced back on her feet, then heard rapid footsteps behind her. She turned to see another hooded figure with large chicken feet dash to her. "BAGAAAAWK!"

Marine ducked the Tempest Kick, then Chicken Mask punched its yellow-feathered fists to attack her. Marine dodged to its side and punched, but the chicken used Iron Body and only budged a few inches. He flapped his wings and leapt back as Marine was surrounded by all seven agents. "I see you fellas have a thing for animals. Except Scarecrow Mask there. He must hate birds. But you forget that I already am an animal! I'm prime, pureblood Mobian." She kicked off her sandals. "And I reckon it's time to go Primal on your arses."

Marine got on all fours, her fur stood on end, and invisible energy burned around her. Her pupils retracted and her fangs bared. Fast as light—she zipped behind Monkey Mask and bit her in the hip—she bit Scarecrow in the arm—then she went for Rabbit Mask's leg, but she bit something metal through the cloak that resulted in gas to Marine's mouth. "Always keep a spare rodent repellent strapped to your leg." Rabbit lifted her cloak to show the small metal container on her leg. During Marine's coughing fit, she kicked the raccoon two blocks down. "Especially when you hang around these rodents."

"ROWWWL!" Marine was back on all fours, scowling like a beast with rabies as she pranced toward her prey.

"CP10, Seven Stars Combo Attack!" Lion Mask commanded.

"Iron Body, BAGAWK!" Chicken Mask got in front to be the first of Marine's dinner, but her fangs were dented when trying to punch the Iron Body. Chicken Mask jumped away and-

"SHAVE!" Rabbit Mask zipped around Marine from every direction, the Primal Raccoon whipping every which way in attempt to spot her, but the act only made the overgrown rodent dizzy.

"Paper Art." Hamster Mask glided under Marine like a magic carpet, and without warning kicked upside the chin to propel her upward.

"Moon Walk!" Scarecrow Mask jumped around the air like an Italian plumber, and once above Marine, he kicked her to the ground diagonally.

"Finger Pistol!" Kangaroo Mask pierced her in the stomach.

"Tempest Kick!" Monkey Mask slashed airwaves at a nearby building, cutting a square segment off that toppled down and crushed Marine.

"RAAAAH!" Marine burst out of the trap and zipped around to kick the six assassins, who only winced a little from the blows, then Marine returned to the center, conjured six Light Spheres that orbited her like a planet, and blasted them in the faces of each masked member. The assassins fell down, so Marine turned her ravenous eyes toward the Lion Mask.

"You make yourself out to be a predator… but your natural instincts have long been soiled by the piles of rum bottles you continuously consume. You are less of a predator than the filthy members of your family who rummage around the trash. You don't have what it takes to face a real predator… A predator like me!" Lion Mask was on all fours, and his hands morphed into large sharp claws that scratched the street.

The lion snarled and pounced on Marine, the two rolling across the ground before the raccoon kicked him off. They were back on their paws as they darted at each other, the lion slicing his claws at her face while Marine rapidly punched him in the chest. Eventually, both animals grabbed each other's arms, Marine's narrowed blue eyes peering at the sharp green eyes behind the lion mask. The lion's claws pierced the raccoon's arms, forcing Marine to release.

"Now to complete the combination." Lion planted both fists against Marine's chest. "By combining all the force points for the Six Powers, I release the Six King Gun!" A powerful beam of energy burst from his fists and pierced Marine's chest. No gaping hole was left in the spot where it pierced, but the blow rendered Marine weak. Her Primal features and the energy around her vanished as the former pirate captain fell on her back, defeated.

Lion Mask's features reverted into their human form as the seven assassins approached Marine. "That will be all tonight. Number 4, carry Marine to the base and have her in chi-blocks. It won't be long until the Kids Next Door will want to come after us… and the Seven Lights by their side. The rest of us will return to our posts until the next assignment."

Kangaroo Mask turned into a pterodactyl, grabbed Marine in his talons, and soared across the ocean. The other six agents scattered. Elijah Frantic had been watching from a bar close by. "Oh no… I better call Sheila." (End song.)

Azultown, the next morning

Sector V received the call from Sheila's father the next morning and flew to her hometown as soon as possible. They landed in the shipyard where Marine had constructed the Sunny Day. The pirate ship that had sailed them around the world was still docked where they left it. "Coo-kachoo, coo-kachoo!" A pigeon was circling over an area.

"MUUUM?" Sheila yelled as they stepped over the piles of junk. "'EY, MUM! You didn't pass out in the spilled wine again, did ya?"

"Look, there's somebody there!" Haruka indicated the legs in black pants arched over a pile. They belonged to a black-haired man with a white sleeveless top and close-shaved goatee. Blood trickled down his nose and his left eye was blackened. The pigeon landed on his chest.

"Oh yeah, it's the mute guy that works with Marine." Chris recognized. "Wasn't his name Lucy?"

"LUCY, WAKE UP!" Sheila PUNCHED him in the stomach and startled the man awake. His right eye shot open, but his left ached too much to do the same.

"Probably not the alarm he was expecting." Chris said sheepishly.

Mr. Pigeon Man, what happened? Kirie signed.

"Coo-coo! Last night, I was ambushed by some strange men in masks!" Hattori answered for his master. "They bopped me out clean and went after Marine."

That's mean!

"Do you remember what these men looked like?" Haruka asked.

"I know one wore a lion mask, another had a scarecrow, and one with a Rainbow Monkey mask. Other than that, they dressed in black coats. I didn't see any part of their bodies, coo-kachoo."

"It's gotta be CP10." Chris glared. "They must've went after Marine because they knew her daughter is a Light."

"Well, that's dirty fighting if I ever saw it!" Sheila fist-palmed.

"Yeah, this is a new low even for the Government." Harry stated. "Attacking innocent people just to scare us, they're pathetic."

"Wait, look at this." Haylee picked up a wanted poster of Marine off the ground.

"Ahhh. Me mum in her glory days." Sheila smiled proudly.

"I know, but think about it: your mom was a notorious pirate who fought with the Government, and she's still wanted. Maybe CP10 used that as an excuse to capture her."

"So they're using just cause to go after people." Artie figured. "Like Hoagie, Wendy, and Garry being TND spies."

"Just cause doesn't matter." Chris said. "They'll want to attack the Seven Lights eventually. Why don't they just leave these people alone and fight us already?"

"They're probably trying to bait us this way." Harry reasoned. "So unless something else happens, we can assume they're only targeting spies or people on their wanted list."

"But both Cheren and Kimaya killed a Corporate President." Aurora argued. "Obviously, they'll be after them, too."

"Dillon's dad is on the wanted list, too!" Mason remembered. "What if he gets attacked?"

"We'll have to expect the worst. Let's go back to the treehouse and think up a plan."

Kirie skipped up to Lucci and handed him a green Rainbow Monkey. If you put Hugged For Comfort After Being Beat By A Bully Rainbow Monkey over your eye, it softens the wound. I thought you would like it because he's the same color as your eyes! You can keep him. Bye-bye, Mr. Lucy! She waved and skipped away. Lucci stared at the stuffed green toy.

Great Clock

"Aww, I can't believe we're already leaving." Eddy Flores of Sector Q complained as the operatives boarded the R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N.. "We didn't get to fight or nothing!"

"At least Vanellope is coming home with us." Dillon said. "And we got rid of a Corporate President and one of Gnik's guys."

"Do not return home just yet, children." Orvus told them. "You must find the Seventh Light and bring her back to Earth. My Zoni will guide you."

"So, what're we gonna do when we get home?" Bill asked perkily. "Hit the soda bar? I can drink five cans of Silver Flurp at once!"

"Heh heh, try and beat Mason." Dillon chuckled. His eyes widened. They all glanced at him.

"YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH US!!" They screamed at the humanoid demon.

"Aw, whyyyy? What happened to accepting all kids no matter who they are?"

"Yeah, Dillon, what's your deal with this kid?" Vanellope asked.

"He attacked Moonbase and killed an innocent girl! This guy isn't a kid, he's nuts!"

"Wow, I've been called a Dorito, but nuts?" He transformed into Mr. Peanut (which didn't look much different from his triangle form).

"Vanellope, let's go. I'll tell you about our adventures on the way."

Miyuki was the last one to enter the train, but stood back when Bill spoke to her. "Disappointed we didn't learn anything, did we? Wanted to see what's behind that door?" Miyuki was silent. "I'll tell you one thing… it's not good. You won't survive. I don't think anyone will. I wouldn't survive either if I wasn't on the winning team. But I could protect you." Bill smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. "I could protect all your friends… All you have to do is submit loyalty to me. I'd lend you my trading cards, let you in my bedroom… and tell you all the deepest secrets of the universe."

"…You'd tell me anything… You know everything…"

"I do." He nodded. "And I really would."

"…You don't know jack compared to The Chronicler." Miyuki walked forward and entered the R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N.. With the Zoni leading the spacecraft, Bill watched as they took off.

"…" Bill felt a tinge in his heart at that remark. He turned away and had a smug scowl. "Screw you." He reentered the Great Clock.

Cleveland Milk Bar

Around noon on the same day, the team of Nolan, Yuki, and Crystal paid a visit to the Milk Bar, where they occupied a table. "Well, friends," Nolan raised his jug of chocolate milk, "here's to a night's work collecting 50 Riddler Trophies."

"May we never have to backtrack again," Yuki raised his jug, "and continue our adventure tonight." He drank.

"So Doctor Strange is in a magic city called Magnostadt." Crystal recalled. "What do you suppose he's doing there?"

"Whatever it is, it's top secret." Nolan said as he looked at his laptop. "He has a profile on the Government's website, but it doesn't tell anything on his background or the work he's doing. And all Dr. Riddles was able to send us was a map of the city and how to find where he's hiding. Still, we might be walking into something big, so we'll have to walk in with our A-game on."

"Well, if it isn't Nolan and the Night Trio!" They were approached by a large red-haired man in a teal shirt and white apron. "I haven't seen you in a while."

"Hey, Lime Rickey." Nolan waved. "Yeah, it's been a real rough month. Don't you miss the days when all our friends could come to your bar, chill, and drown ourselves in sodium?"

"Those were the times." Rickey looked up reflectively. "But that's why I opened a Milk Bar… It isn't kiddy like soda, and it's enjoyable for adults who don't wanna poison their selves with alcohol, ya know?"

"Come to think of it, shouldn't this milk be contaminated with Lazarus?!" Crystal realized.

"I thought they were only poisoning people in Kentucky?" Yuki said.

"We retrieved all the shipments, anyway." Nolan reminded. "Besides, my scanners aren't picking up any foreign ingredients in this milk."

"That's the beauty of owning a family farm." Rickey smiled. "You can sell your own milk and don't have to let people trash it. What're you three planning, anyway?"

"Top secret infiltration mission, as always."

"Sticking it to the man, you know how it is." Yuki winked.

"Okay, don't get arrested." Rickey laughed before going to another table.

The three heroes took a sip of their milk. Crystal stared at her half-empty glass and swished it. "You ever wonder what the Government's deal is?"

"I dunno." Yuki shrugged. "What deal does any corrupt bastard have?"

"Well, it can't be just a matter of being power-hungry. Why are they against the Kids Next Door, why did they kill Nigel?"

"It's not the Kids Next Door they hate, it's the Twenty Keys Prophecy." Nolan replied. "I keep updated with the KND's news and that's what's up."

"Well, knowing my daughter is one of the Lights, I wanna hear their story." Yuki stated. "If finding the Keys is supposed to stop the Apocalypse, why are they trying to stop them?"

"It may not be long 'til we find out. After Kimaya, there's only one Light left. Whoever that person is… after they're found, anything could happen."

Pokitaru

"HAKUNA MATATA!" Ratchet, Drake, and Zach raised coconut cups. "Whaaaat a wonderful phraaaaase!"

"It's our problem-freeeeee!" Ratchet sang.

"Philosophyyyyy!" Drake followed.

"It means no worries!" Maddy joined. "For the rest of your daaaayys! …" She looked at Shade, who was silent.

"I don't wanna." She blushed.

"You stalked me all these years, you should know how it goes!"

"Sigh, fine. I found my aroma lacked a certain appeal, I could clear the savannah after every—I don't wanna sing this part!"

"Do iiiiiit." Zach stated.

"Ugh! I was ashamed, wanted to change my name, because I farted a lot—oh God!"

"Shade, it happens to everyone." Maddy said—everybody burst into laughter.

"I did not!" Shade flushed horrendously. "Ergh! Alright, time to get back to training. Rayleigh?"

"AAAH HA HA HA!" The elder cracked up and spilled some rum. "I'm glad this universe appreciates humor the same way mine does!"

"Not that my sense of humor isn't tops, but we're a little pressed for time." Shade stated. "By my calculations, it's May 18th on Planet Earth. The Apocalypse is nearly two weeks away."

"And Maddy has made substantial progress in the time she's been here."

"Yeah, Shade!" Maddy turned her fist Armament without effort. "It's as easy as a waterbender splashing in a kids' pool."

"You weren't saying that two days ago. And you're still pretty rusty in Observation Haki. We really need to start pushing you."

"Okay, okay. But after one more verse!"

"Hakuna Matata!" the group sang, much to Shade's dismay. "What a wonderful phraaaase!"

"It's our problem-freeeee!" Drake sang. "Philosophyyyy!"

"HAKUNA MATATA!" Dr. Nefarious jumped out of the bushes. "It's a WONDERFUL daaaaaay!"

They were all gaping and looked as if their hearts jumped out of their bodies. "What? Did I say it wrong? Oh wait, it's 'Hakuna Matataaaaa! Ain't no action phraaaaase-' or something, I dunno." Lawrence was behind him, shaking his head in disbelief. "So what are we all talking about; games, boys? Maddy, I saw you write in your diary how you wanted to sleep on Chris's chest again. He musta had real comfy abs, right?" She blushed at the statement. "No?" He looked around at the glaring group.

"Excuse me." Rayleigh approached him from the side. "We're having a training session. Can I help you?"

"Oh, don't let me interrupt your campsite musical." Nefarious walked away casually. "I was just wondering if-!!" He whipped around and SHOT Rayleigh in the head with a laser.

The teacher flew back and hit the ground. "RAYLEIGH!" Maddy and Shade ran over. Where there should've been a wound in his head, there was a crack. And instead of blood, his body sparked, and then transformed into a Zoni that sparked from the wound. "Buzzzzzz!"

"He was a Zoni all along?!" Shade exclaimed.

"I never would've guessed!" Nefarious shot Maddy with an anti-gravity gun, then activated his rocket shoes as he carried her off. "BRING IT AROUND!"

"Bwah hah ha ha!" A giant saucer with four spider-like legs came up from over a mountain. "Lord Vorselon has returned, at the very moment you least expected!"

"Don't worry, Maddy, we'll resume your training aboard our vessel." Nefarious smirked. "So, that old human was a robot in disguise. This story's starting to have more twists than even Shyamalan can take a swing at."

"You don't know the half of it!" Maddy gripped her neck and pulled the mask off. "It's actually me, Zach!"

"WHAT?!? If you're not Maddy, then Maddy is…!"

He looked back down to see Zach yank off his mask and reveal to be Maddy. "BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I was watching the whole time, when did you put those on?!"

"When you were staring at my kindergarten photo." Maddy retorted.

"But that's still in my room! AH, forget it! Lock this boy in the brig, YOU'RE next!" Nefarious had the gravity bubble float into the saucer before shooting down to Maddy.

Ratchet chucked grenades at the robot while Maddy dodged, made a whistle, and jumped onto Fluzzard. "I'm coming, Zach, just hang in there!" She swooped down and caught Shade in Fluzzard's talons. "Shade, you just-"

"Hang on here, got it!"

Nefarious tried to shoot them, but Ratchet bashed the gun out of his hand with his OmniWrench, then hit Nefarious in the head. "No! CATCH her, Vorselon!"

"Maddy, I sense the cockpit in the top middle!" Shade yelled.

"That's better than the bottom middle! Here we go!" (Play "Boss A" from Star Fox 64!)

Boss fight: Saucer Vorselon

The saucer blasted lasers from satellites on its bottom, but Fluzzard dodged them with barrel rolls as they flew closer. Ships were sent at the colorful bird, so Shade broke out of Fluzzard's talons, got on his back and threw punches at the ships that swooped by, her strong fists causing them to drive unstably for a minute. Fluzzard flapped above the ship's roof, where they had view of the pointed tower that was the… control center.

"Enemy shields analyzed!" Maddy yelled.

"You can analyze his shields?" Shade asked.

"No, but if we're doing Star Fox, you gotta add the reference."

Satellites on the roof blasted lasers at them, so the girls decided to hop off and let Fluzzard fly to safety. Maddy and Shade withstood the wind and kept firm on the roof, and the satellites ceased fire on them. However, mini turrets opened on the roof to shoot them, but Shade quickly dodged to and broke each turret with one punch. "Maddy, let's get rid of the satellites!" The two split up in different directions to go after the laser satellites, using Observation Haki to sense where turrets would appear.

"Lord Vorselon uses his Spinning Disk Attack!" Vorselon quickly spun the saucer in attempt to shake them off, forcing the girls to grab the roof. The saucer stopped when Vorselon became dizzy, so they resumed running to the satellites, climbing them, and using their strong fists to break the antennas. "Graaah! Lord Vorselon deems this unacceptable! I will trap you in my shock dome!" A huge glass dome covered the roof, and several small antennas emerged and connected via shock beams.

"AAAAAHH!" Maddy and Shade were binded in place. The electricity wasn't too painful, but they couldn't muster the strength to move.

"We have to get up there and save them somehow!" Ratchet yelled.

"My harpoon doesn't reach that high!" Drake replied.

Ratchet's wristwatch started blinking. He looked up to his right with a shining grin. "No, but she does! APHELION!"

"Ratchet!" The Lombax's shiny blue spacecraft soared in from the sky. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I would have gotten here sooner, but Mom's Ship Garage was having a sale and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to float around and find something I want."

"All in the past, Aphelion." Ratchet hopped onto his ship while Drake took the roof. "Let's shoot down those satellites!" They boosted up to the underside of the saucer, evading the lasers as Drake shot his harpoon through the windshields of enemy ships. Ratchet rapidly blasted Aphelion's lasers and destroyed the four bottom satellites one by one. "Now we need to find a way in."

"I see a hatch over there!" Drake shot his harpoon at a square segment with a handle on it, yanking the hatch off. Ratchet flew underneath so the human could jump in there. Drake made his way through a narrow tunnel where he had to duck or jump horizontal lasers. He stabbed his harpoon into any wire socket he came across, then eventually found a room containing glass electrical pipes. Drake reached into his pocket and got some M.A.R.B.L.E.s. "I really should start using these more." He chucked the bombs in and made a break for it when the explosions resulted.

The electrical binds disabled, freeing Maddy and Shade. They saw Fluzzard flying around outside, looking for a way through the dome. The two ran up to it, but Shade's strength and Maddy's Armament couldn't pierce the glass. Ratchet and Drake flew up to see the girls trapped. "WATCH OUT!" Ratchet yelled before shooting a bomb at the dome and creating a huge crack.

"HUH!" Shade punched it open as she and Maddy dropped down to Fluzzard.

"NOOO! I just had that cleaned! Lord Vorselon will make you pay!" The saucer continued blasting them with smaller turrets and sent missiles. Fluzzard maneuvered expertly and dove toward the cockpit.

Maddy and Shade jumped off to grab the side of the glass, seeing Vorselon inside the small chamber as they punched the glass repeatedly. "Don't you wanna fight us with your own strength?!" Maddy shouted.

"Lord Vorselon is a one-eyed fish in a robot suit! He could not use his own strength if he wanted to!" Vorselon spun the saucer around in attempt to throw the girls off, but they held tight.

"Ratchet, I have analyzed the fortress, and it seems to be a collection of parts linked together." Aphelion reported. "The structure would come apart if the bolts were loosened."

"Aphelion, I'm putting you on autopilot. Drake, cover me from the air!" Ratchet jumped out of the ship and dove toward the saucer's roof, maneuvering around the missiles in midair. Ratchet made land and ran to each large bolt to unscrew it with his OmniWrench. Drake used his harpoon to shoot missiles aimed at him, and when Ratchet finished unscrewing a set of bolts, he had to jump to the stable ground before that part of the ship collapsed. Little by little, the central tower was becoming more exposed. The minute Ratchet detached the last bolt, the remainder of the outer circle fell. The Lombax returned to his ship and the girls on Fluzzard.

"Initiate Coward Maneuver 57B!" Vorselon's rocket swerved around and to the ground. The cockpit launched itself to part of the fallen saucer, where a giant humanoid robot sprouted up and caught the cockpit on the head. "Catch me if you can, little girl! Or your brother's gonna become my Gingerbread Man!" The robot was wearing a glass backpack containing Zach.

Fluzzard dove down as the robot ran through the jungle, launching missiles at its pursuers. The Loftwing kept behind the robot, dodging the jungle trees that fell as well as the endless missiles. Maddy and Shade drew steadily closer to the backpack, and once they were there, Fluzzard flew up and clutched the top of the pack in his talons. The bird forcefully flapped up, pulled, and Zach's prison popped off, Fluzzard dropping it and breaking the glass.

The robot skidded to a halt and about-faced. "Lord Vorselon is not through with you, yet! You may have saved your brother, but Lord Vorselon will continue to fight! Lord Vorselon is forever! Lord Vorselon is-!" A silver train flew down from the sky and shattered the cockpit before crashing haphazardly in the jungle. (End song.)

Lord Vorselon's robot was destroyed, along with his suit. His green one-eyed fish head flopped on the ground next to the crashed train. "Hrn… Lord Vorselon did not see this coming. Lord Vorselon will condemn this train as Lord Vorselon sees fit. Lord Vorselon, Lord Vorselon-!" Dillon hopped out and squished the fish like a bug.

"Ew! Well, that ruins these shoes…?" He looked up. "Maddy, is that you?!"

"Dillon?" Maddy called, riding Fluzzard.

"Well, look who decided to join us!" Drake exclaimed from Aphelion.

"DRAAAAAKE!" Sector Q trampled Dillon.

"GUUUUUUYS!" Drake jumped to the ground and embraced in his teammates' hugs.

"WHERE WERE YOOOUU!" Quill cried.

"ABDUCTED BY ALIEEEEENS!" Drake cried back. And all five boys cried to the sky.

"Awwww." Kodama smiled in disbelief. "How romantic."

"Dillon, how did you all find us?" Maddy asked after landing Fluzzard.

"Those Zoni things brought us. It was all after we went on a mission to save Vanellope."

"HEY, you're the girl with the round head!" Vanellope glitched over. "So, did Dillon give you my message? Did you find The Disbanded?"

"Yes, and I was delayed my return to Earth, thanks a lot." Maddy glared.

"Well, you did learn Haki." Shade reminded.

"Who're you?" Dillon asked.

"Shade the Echidna. I'm from the Netherverse."

"She tried to kill me once." said Maddy.

"That was an act."

"Okay, that aside, the Zoni wanted us to bring you home." Dillon stated. "They said you were the Seventh Light. Are you?"

"I better be, otherwise what was the point of all this? But Dillon, there's something I wanna show you."

George's cave

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" George King was still consumed with unimaginable pain, his veins bulging from the Octogan on his forehead.

"GEORGE?!" Miyuki was horrified at the sight.

"He saved us from Nefarious awhile ago and had that thing on his forehead." Maddy replied. "They said it's an Octogan."

"An Octogan?" Dillon was familiar with that term.

"Actually, it's only the pupil of an Octogan." A man's voice said. They whipped around as a caped man with a scepter entered the cave.

"Mr. King?"

Jagar approached his son, but didn't seem the slightest bit mortified at George's current state. "When George was three years old, I journeyed to the Negaverse and found one of the two Octogan. Its power was too much even for me… so I cut off its pupil. I attached it to George because I thought his developing body would allow it to adapt with him. If we could use the Octogan's power… we might have a chance."

"Why would you put your son through this?!" Ratchet yelled. "Look at what's happening to him!"

"I thought my chi-blocking headband could contain the Octogan's power and let it get comfortable with George. I thought it was working. Even with the chi-blocks on, George was excellent at Future Sight. Since I can't see the Octogan in my own Vision, I also thought George could help me break that block."

"Well, he's in pain!" Dillon stated. "You have to cut that thing off him!"

"I will." Jagar raised his Chrono Staff. "But perhaps it's best you forget what you saw here." With a sudden blinding FLASH, Jagar, George, and the Zoni were all gone.

The kids rubbed their eyes. "Why are we in this cave?" Dillon asked.

"I dunno…" Maddy replied. "If you're taking me back to Earth, why are we waiting around?!"

"I thought you forgot your makeup or something." Ratchet said. "Come to think of it, we lost sight of Nefarious after that battle."

"I say we get goin' before he comes back." Drake suggested.

The kids returned to the R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N., Aphelion parked beside it. "Man, talk about a ride!" Ratchet exclaimed. "Can I trade?"

"No trading my baby!!" Chimney yelped.

"Love you too, Ratchet." remarked Aphelion.

"Wait, we never found Ratchet's friend, did we?" Maddy asked.

"It's okay, Maddy." Ratchet assured. "You can head home if you want. I'll get Clank back from Nefarious somehow."

"His name's Clank?" Vanellope questioned.

"Yeah. Small robot, kinda looks like a backpack… Here's a picture." Ratchet projected a hologram from his wristwatch of the robot.

Vanellope gaped. "That's Orvus!"

"Who?"

"It's the robot I found in Cyberspace, the Zoni wanted me to carry him!"

"YOU KNOW WHERE CLANK IS?!"

"Y-Yeah, yeah! Up in the Great Clock!" She pointed upward.

"Ratchet, the Great Clock is located around Galactic Coordinate 000." Aphelion said. "It is in the center of the universe… give or take 50 feet."

"If he's really at the Great Clock, I'm heading there now." Ratchet hopped in his ship. "I'll see you guys later. It was fun traveling with you three."

"Good-bye, Ratchet." Maddy waved. "Thanks for the lift!"

Ratchet smiled and waved as his ship lifted high off the ground and took off for the stars. "Well… our next stop is home." Dillon said. "Shall we?"

"Definitely." Maddy approved.

After the R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N. left the planet's atmosphere, Dr. Nefarious's Star Train deactivated its cloaking function. "Are we not going to pursue them, Sir?" Lawrence asked.

"We don't need to catch her just yet. If they are taking Maddy home, it is only a matter of time until she will find her Poneglyph. Very soon, her secret will be revealed to us." He rubbed his hands evilly. "And we're going to seize her the moment she does!" He pressed a button.

At the Murphy House, Sparky was fast asleep in his towel basket. The puppy's eyes sparked to life upon his creator's signal, and a satellite extracted on his head as he searched for Maddy's location.

KND Moonbase

The R.O.C.K.E.T.-T.R.A.I.N. parked outside the hangar as the many passengers disembarked. "HOLAAAA!" Chimney called to her teammates waiting on the bridge. "Team Rescue Vanel-chan has RETURNED, nakama!"

Vanellope glitched in. "Vanellope von Schweetz is BACK in town!"

"You guys made it back!" Cheren beamed. "Vanellope!"

"She's not the only one." Dillon said excitedly. "Presenting the newly-rescued Maddy, Zachary, Drake, and… some red hedgehog!"

"Echidna." Shade glared.

"MADDY!" Mocha ran up to greet her friend, shaking the floor with her giant steps. "You're finally back from space!"

"MOCHA!" Maddy fist-pumped. "What's up, my bestest gigantis?"

"You know the answer to that! Low five!" Mocha held her hand down. Maddy dealt the high five with an Armament hand. "Yow! I actually kinda felt that…"

"Armament Haki!" Maddy hardened both fists. "You won't be beating me now!"

"Uh, guess again." Mocha turned her fists Armament. "I learned it from the Amazons two months ago!"

"And you never told me?!"

"I didn't want you to feel behind." Mocha blushed.

"So, did anything exciting happen while we were gone?" Dillon asked Cheren with slight sarcasm, given the last surprises in the past couple days.

"Um… unfortunately, yes."

Cheren brought them to the medical room, where Dipper was still by Wendy's side and Ib and Mary by Garry's side. "CP10?" Dillon repeated.

"They're top assassins who work for the Government. And last night, we think they attacked Sheila's mom. They went down there this morning and Marine was gone."

"They also think that, with the Seven Lights Quest almost finished," April followed, "the Government is trying to scare us."

"But CP10 shouldn't be allowed to attack somebody without just cause." Cheren mentioned. "At least… that's what we hope. Who knows how long that'll last."

"Well, we can't stand around and let them hurt people." Dillon stated. "We need to get down to Earth and be ready to stop them if they show up."

"That's what Sector V and the others are doing right now. You should probably go down there and join 'em. Given these last two scenarios, they could attack at any time…"

Rainbows Factory (and 3, 2, 1…)

Production was flowing peacefully at the colorful factory and business was successful. Leslie Meijer, the company president's secretary, smiled as she filled a cup of coffee. She wore her usual red attire and her blonde hair was as shiny as her positive mood. "Hello, Miss Leslie!" The orange-haired scientist, Dan greeted perkily, his puffy mustache flapping with his mouth. "Wonderful weather today, eh?"

"Yes, I agree." Leslie sipped her coffee. "Any new inventions in the works, you two?"

"Ve are developing ein human-to-toy mind-reader!" Stan, Dan's black-haired partner, held up a small helmet with antennas taped. "So children can see vhat ze toys are thinking! Look!" He put the little helmet on his head and held up a dark-blue Rainbow Monkey with a mustache. "Hello, Rainbow Monkey! My name is Stan!"

"I am not a Rainbow Monkey, I'm Mr. Mogul!" The talking toy shook. "Now put me back in my real body!"

"Well, good luck to you two." Leslie chuckled. "I'm going to bring President Sanban her coffee."

The assistant carried a cup to the president's office, knocking on the door softly. "Miss Sanban? Kuki? I brought you your-" She entered the office and saw her boss passed out on the desk. "…Miss Sanban?" Leslie approached. There was a spilled cup of coffee. Leslie reached down and felt Kuki's neck… and she dropped her own cup as it shattered.

Outside

The factory was surrounded by police cars and GUN helicopters. Sector V, Wally, and Joey were there as well, after Kirie's father received the call. Leslie was being escorted out of the building, breathing in and out of a paper bag and her hair a mess. "I was just bringing her some coffee—decaf and three spoonfuls of sugar—like she likes it—but now—I can't believe it—PRESIDENT SANBAN IS DEAD!"

"Calm down, Miss! We'll check all the cameras, do a thorough investigation…"

"Mrs. Beatles is dead?!" Haylee exclaimed.

"Kuki…" Wally was about to cry. Kirie already had her eyes buried in her sleeves, and if she weren't mute, she'd be sobbing like her brother.

"Kirie, I'm so sorry…" Aurora held her friend close.

NOOOO! Kirie ran up and started pounding on the police. LET ME IN! I WANNA SEE MY MOM! I WANNA-!

"Kirie, settle down!" Wally pulled her back. "I'll tell them to let us in, just be patient!"

Haylee Gilligan decided to stray away from the commotion, her head drooped down. Her older brother, her cousin, Sheila's mom, and now Kirie's… This was happening so fast. Everything was. They hardly had any time to rest since this adventure began. She wanted to go to a place where she could meditate. And the place she had in mind was the nearby construction site.

The manager of the site, Bob the Builder was on a coffee break, wearing a spry expression as he drank. The short man in overalls saw Haylee and greeted happily, "Boy, if it isn't my favorite protégé! Ha ha, just kidding, it wouldn't be right to pick favorites. You're just the ONLY protégé! Howdy, Haylee!"

"How do you do, Bob!" Haylee smiled. "Sorry I haven't visited in awhile. I have been swamped… with like so much work. I wanted to get my mind off it. Anything you need done around here?"

"Well, another day, another dollar! If you're up for it, you can cut those boards. I need 'em down to seven inches."

"Hm hm, sure." Haylee put on a worker's helmet. "Even though I'm really tired of the number 7 at this point." She put the first plank over the table and began sawing it.

"Wow, that's a lot-a commotion goin' on over there! It sounds like somebody robbed a bank."

"It's worse than that. My friend's mom has been murdered."

"WAA-AA-AAAAH!" Bob jumped and his head leapt off his body for a second. "Cut the camera, I don't want murder on my show!"

"Sorry I brought it up." Haylee blushed. "That's why I came over here, Bob. I…I don't know what to do." She frowned. "My friends and family are being attacked left and right. None of us see it coming. We're trying to stick together so we can protect each other… but I've been thinking about splitting up from them."

"Why would you say that?"

"I mean, I usually handle just fine in a fight, even if I'm not a monster like… some of my other friends… but this is starting to feel like a different league. I feel like… I should stay away from them. I couldn't protect them, and I would just be in the way… that's why."

"Haylee, you should be ashamed for saying that!" Bob stood across the table and looked reprovingly. "Didn't you learn anything from working in my yard? A building can't be built by one person alone! We need people to lift the boards, hammer the nails, sit precariously on the scaffolds to eat lunch… and sentient vehicles with eyes and mouths!"

"Hi, Bob!" A red bulldozer/dump truck rolled up. "Your break's over in two minutes! Get ready to get back on the grind!"

"You know I will, Muck! Say, have you met my student, Haylee?"

"WOW, a living dump truck!" Haylee beamed. "How did you build that?"

"I can build anything, Haylee! I am, after all, a Legoan!" Bob plucked his hand off.

"AAAAAHH!" she screamed. "W-Wait… Legoan? Like from Legola?"

"So you've heard of it!" Bob picked his head off. "Legola's full of Master Builders like me!"

"I know! We flew there and met Lord Business one time."

"President Business?" Bob put his head back, frowning. "How was he?"

"He's a pretty sweet guy. He helped us a ton!"

"Well, it's always good to see the big bosses lending a hand to the little ones!"

"Hee hee, yep! But… back to what we were talking about. I don't particularly want to abandon my team… but in a situation like this, I wonder if it will matter or not."

"I may not know what you're dealing with, but if your team could depend on you before, they'll be depending on you now. So don't abandon them, Hayl!"

"Yeah… you're right. I don't know what I was thinking." She smiled. "I should get back to them soon."

"Rightio! Well-p, break time over. I'm gonna flip on the radio and see what's jammin' before I get back to whammin'! …With my hammer." Bob hopped in a Mario fashion over to a small radio, tuning its dials.

"Whirrrrrrr, whrrrrrrr…"

"What the armadillo?" Bob queried.

A mysterious voice came from the radio. "Hello. This is an anonymous message… from Eldwin. Excuse me for interrupting this evening's performance of 'Barbie Girl', but I have something to say to the Kids Next Door." Haylee looked over.

"I'm sure by now, you've received the gifts left by my… associates." Sector V listened on the police's radios. "By this point, President Kuki Beatles should have had her final coffee break." Wally growled, for he sounded like a certain bully from his childhood. "The thing is, she was a little rude to the Inspectors For Children's Safety five months ago, and we were waiting for an excuse to make her pay."

Cheren, Dillon, Maddy, and the people on KND Moonbase stared at the static Global Communication screen. Mom recognized the voice. "You've been busting the Government's buttons too long, Kids Next Door. Killing two of our presidents, invading Washington, and seeking the Twenty Keys? These gifts are gonna keep comin'. However, I happen to have your raccoon in my captivity. She's alive, but who's to say how long? I'm gonna make these instructions clear to you:

"Bring us the Seventh Light, or I'll turn this raccoon into a fur coat and wear her like a cape! Bring us the Seventh Light, or I'll tell them to kill some more! I may not be allowed to give orders without an excuse… but boy, am I good at making up excuses. So, what's it gonna be, KNDorks?! You better decide quick, 'cause the next one's coming tonight, 7:30! You gonna hand over the Light? We know who she is… and hopefully, you guys know, too. Until next time, from the hijacked radio airwaves. …This was Eldwin." The message ended.

Outside Sector V Treehouse

The operatives were sitting on the sidewalk, watching the sky as the first hint of orange began to fill the blueness. It was 6:45. "Tonight, huh?" Aurora said. "What are we going to do?"

"Beat the SNOT out of them, of course!" Sheila got up and fist-palmed. "Those heartless blokes are gettin' the walloping of their lives!"

"But we don't know where they'll show up OR who the Seventh Light is!" Chris emphasized. "And unless we find out in the next 45 minutes, they'll…" They heard a ship's engine and saw a C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. coming down for landing. Dillon, Carol, and Sector Q stepped off, along with some surprising others.

"Dillon!" Mason beamed. "Vanellope!"

"Maddy!" Chris ran up.

"Chris!" The two embraced in a hug. Chris looked up and saw Shade. "Who's she?"

"I'm Shade." she replied. "I helped the Teen Ninjas kidnap Maddy."

"Oh, I remember you!" Chris PUNCHED Shade in the nose.

"I saw that coming." she noted, holding her bloody nose. "I let you have the honors because you couldn't hit me last time."

"Did you guys hear that message?" Mason asked. "CP10 wants the Seventh Light or they'll keep killing people!"

"We heard." Drake replied, arms folded. "And… Maddy's the Seventh Light."

"Maddy?!" Chris exclaimed.

"I say we hand her over and put a stop to this." Quill Ramsey said.

"We're not letting them have her! We're gonna confront CP10 and stop them once and for all!"

"But we don't know where they're gonna show up!" Dillon argued.

"I have an idea." Harry replied. "They said they knew who the Seventh Light was… so if it is Maddy, then let's assume they know she lives in Quahog. CP10 is targeting people who the Government has a beef with. Who else lives in Quahog that they have a beef with?"

Dillon gasped. "My dad!"

"So they're targeting Mr. York." Chris deduced. "Then that's where we'll meet 'em. …But what about Maddy?"

They looked at the girl in question. Maddy looked away thoughtfully. "If they want me… then let's let them have me." She fist-palmed.

Quahog; close to York House

Yuki and Crystal entered Nolan's home, prepared to make the flight to Arabia. Hamster Mask watched them a few houses away. He looked at the treehouse that belonged to Sector Q. At 7:30 on the dot, Hamster Mask swung a Tempest Kick and cut the treehouse's stem. Creeeeaaaaak, the giant tree slowly toppled in the direction of the York House. It squished the house flat, along with any unfortunate home in its range.

The tree was lifted by a giant shadow, conjured by Danika York as she recovered from the rubble, grunting from the strain. "I always knew these… gigantic, precariously planted trees would… backfire on us!" She hurled the tree away and retracted her shadow. "Who the hell chopped it down anyw-"

Rabbit Mask rapid-punched her with chi-blocks from behind. She kicked Danika to the ground and kept her fists raised. A hatch in the road opened as the Sandmobile drove out—Sandman immediately stopped the vehicle and turned off the Batman theme when he saw the destruction. "What the-?!"

Chicken Mask landed on the windshield and stomped it open, grabbed Yuki and Wiccan and throwing them out. He tried to kick Sandman, but he grabbed the chicken's foot and twisted before pushing him off. Monkey Mask landed behind Crystal, who turned to be met with a punch to the face, and Scarecrow Mask hopped up behind Yuki and started choking him. Sandman tried to climb out of the Sandmobile, but Hamster Mask got behind and kicked him to the road.

Hamster Mask pinned Nolan on his back and raised his Finger Pistol. "You shoulda kept a more secret identity, Marvel Hero."

"I'm DC!"

"No, they actually keep theirs secret. Say good-bye-" He was knocked off by a Light Fist. An ice blast hit Scarecrow and saved Yuki while Vanellope zipped down and kicked Monkey Mask off of Wiccan. When the glitch girl landed, she winked at her adoptive father. Sandman's surprise at seeing her was masked. Their saviors were Sector V in a C.O.O.L.-B.U.S..

"Orright," Sheila spoke with spite, "which of you animals wants to get made into a fur coat?"

"We Mobians consider that offensive." Shade said.

"I'm half-Mobian."

"Oh. Then I guess it's okay."

The plot twists are only just beginning, my friends. Next time, we will fight CP10. Let's go Atbashing!
