Liberation

Liberation is the forty fifth episode of Young Plumbers and the sixteenth episode of Season 3.

Plot
[Chemestris is standing in a room with a brute looking figure wearing armor.]

[Chemestris]: I need a favor... The recruits are gaining strength... They've cured their friends and are now well on their way to finding the Sword of Rigon and passing the trials, and there's still well over a month before the alignment... On top of that, the Ringmaster is becoming a real annoyance... His games threaten the control of the Earth...

[Figure]: And what do you want me to do about it?

[Chemestris]: From what I remember you seem to know a lot of people in a lot of good places... How difficult would it be for you to get in contact with the Aldabarbarians?

[Figure]: The Aldabarbarians? You can't simply contact them... There are many things I can do, but even I cannot do that... Why do you want the Aldabarbarians anyway?

[Chemestris]: From about 245 years ago until just 115 years ago, the...

[Figure]: I know my history, Chemestris, no need to remind me...

[Chemestris]: You may know about the Aldabarbarian front in the Milky Way Galaxy, but I'm sure even you haven't heard about their origin story... The one that takes place in the Andromeda Galaxy...

[Figure]: Skip to the point...

[Chemestris]: About 250 years ago, a savage conqueror came to the home world of the Aldabarbarians and conquered it. He became known as The Phantom, a being who none would dare to challenge, for fear of losing... He eventually came to the galaxy and conquered much of it before being defeated... He refuses to return, but maybe you could convince him...

[Figure]: Why me, and why is this even important?

[Chemestris]: The Phantom never made it to Earth, which was undoubtedly his true goal... Convince him that the Earth is open for the taking and he may head there and find the Ringmaster waiting for him... With the Ringmaster and the recruits tied up with the Phantom, it would give us extra time to finish the plans for the alignment, as well as start another one...

[She snaps her fingers and a light turns on the room, revealing the Shuffler.]

[Figure]: The Shuffler...? Something just clicked in my brain, you've got yourself a deal...

[They shake hands.]

[Chemestris]: Whatever happened between us Bioth?

[Bioth]: There was never an "us", now I'm heading for the Andromeda...

[He exits the room.]

[Chemestris]: It matters not... By the time the plan is done, the others will finally realize that I have as much to bring to the table as the rest of them... I will no longer be the laughing stock of the Elite!

[Theme Song]

[The entire team is meeting in the lobby room: The recruits, future recruits, Magisters, and others.]

[Hornbok]: Today is the day... We will split into two teams and take out the final two domes... After that, we'll only need to destroy the main unit, finish off the Ringmaster, find those last two Sages and last two pieces of the sword and we'll be all set...

[Paradox, appearing]: Your plans may have to change, Magister...

[Hornbok]: What do you mean?

[Paradox]: I mean look...

[He takes the team outside to the center of the city. They see an enormous warship passing the city in the distance.]

[Ivada]: That's huge!

[Relgo]: And it looks Aldabarbaric...

[Paradox]: Because it is...

[Water]: Aldabarbaric? Doesn't sound good to me...

[Slick]: Because it's not... The Aldabarbarians were, or apparently still are, a race of conquerors that conquered much of the galaxy during the time period on Earth known as the 1800s.

[Hornbok]: The attacks actually began in or around 1768, after the Aldabarbarians arrived in the galaxy from the Andromeda after being conquered by The Phantom just a few years earlier... The Phantom never left his home world, though. He stayed in the comfort of his throne room, connected to his warship: The Phantom's Nest. If that is his ship, I doubt he's actually on it...

[Kruto]: But if he is... We can't take any chances...

[Paper]: As much as I'd like to destroy the domes... I think we need to stop The Phantom before he gets any closer to the surface...

[Paradox]: I recommend you call in everybody. Now, if you'll excuse me...

[He disappears.]

[Future Paper]: Everyone he says?

[The camera cuts to Ben Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, Kevin Levin, Rook, Max Tennyson, Ester, Blukic, and Driba standing near a press conference being given by the President as well as the Secretary General of the United Nations.]

[Secretary General]: At this time we are still unsure if the warship is in anyway connected to the invasion and the dome that have been going on for the past few months or so... We are looking into the situation and will provide you with answers once we have them.

[President]: We are also working with the Plumbers, who've helped us through the invasion and other times in the past when dealing with off world problems.

[The camera man taping them stops the camera. The President and Secretary General walk over to Ben and his team.]

[Ben Tennyson]: Magister Hornbok says that ship is Aldabarbaric in origin... In short it means they aren't here for peace...

[Secretary General]: We need a solution and we need one now!

[Gwen Tennyson]: We're trying as hard as we can, but until we can make contact with the ship, we won't be able to report anything else...

[President]: We understand... It's just with the Dome and the Invasion we're getting a little annoyed about all the alien activity...

[Max Tennyson]: So are we, Mr. President...

[The camera cuts to the Ringmaster and his group at the top of Mt. Everest. The Aldabarbarian warship can be seen in the distance.]

[Ringmaster]: This is not a good sign...

[Auris]: For what you are planning master I suggest we try and stop the ship...

[Ringmaster]: You think it would be beneficial?

[Auris]: Master, I know it would be... If the Aldabarbarians conquer the Earth, then you stand no chance of escaping, let alone surviving. They will eliminate all who stand against them, you included...

[Archangel]: I would suggest listening to the dragon... He's usually correct...

[Ringmaster]: And does that mean I'm not?

[Revel]: I believe Archangel was just trying to say that he agrees with Auris...

[Archangel]: Yes, that's exactly what I meant...

[Ringmaster]: Then let's go...

[The get onto Auris and then take off towards the warship. The camera cuts onto the warship.]

[Bioth and two Aldabarbarians are walking down the halls of the ship.]

[Aldabarbarian #1]: Master has never been to the Earth... He is very pleased with the opportunity you provided him...

[Bioth]: Understood, but just know that I would be very pleased if I knew your exact plans so I could report them to my master...

[Aldabarbarian #2]: Complete takeover... We understand that there is already a dome on the Earth and we plan to rebuild it and then destroy everything while the humans remain trapped.

[Bioth]: Excellent...

[They get to the end of the hallway and enter the command room of the ship. Bioth approaches the central chair of the room and finds The Phantom sitting on it.]

[Phantom]: I wouldn't have assumed the one who brought me here was so weak... And you're people were the ones who placed the dome here?

[Bioth]: No sir, it was the Salimorians... We've formed a group of villain, my master is one of them... A Salimorian is another...

[Phantom]: So this is the Elite I've been hearing about, correct?

[Bioth]: Correct...

[Phantom]: They are pathetic... I will kill them all...

[He stands up and grabs Bioth around the neck. He holds him in the air and then squeezes hard.]

[Phantom]: Starting with you...

[He is about to squeeze harder when he is kicked from behind by Chemestris. He immediately blasts a large wave of dark fire at Chemestris. She blows a current of air to redirect the fire back at him, but he then cuts off the attack. He sits back down at his ship.]

[Phantom]: Well this is displeasing... HOW'D YOU GET ONTO MY SHIP?

[Bioth]: This is my master, Chemestris...

[Phantom]: A member of the Elite?

[Chemestris]: How much have you told him?

[Bioth]: Not much...

[Phantom]: And now I have one of two options... I can let you live, or I can kill you... I think I'll go with the second one...

[He presses a button on the arm of his chair. The ground opens up below Bioth and Chemestris. They fall down below the ship and then begin to plummet towards Earth. They eventually land in a smaller ship. The roof then closes and they fly off.]

[Chemestris]: Luckily I was prepared...

[Bioth]: So if the Aldabarbarians are now against us, then what do we do?

[Chemestris]: We never needed the Aldabarbarians to be with us, it was just easier... We're heading back to Psyocs to start something big...

[The camera cuts back onto the ship.]

[Phantom]: Are we close enough to the surface to begin attack...

[Commander]: No sir, 100 more miles... It will be about 10 more hours at this speed. Should we go faster?

[Phantom]: No, we need to save power, plus I need time to think...

[The camera cuts again to a small warehouse in Midnight City.]

[Sci]: Remind me again why we're in my hometown...?

[Future Toon]: Because it's close enough to where Ben's team is and Fellson City is still to dangerous...

[Paper]: From here we'll mount our counterattack against the Aldabarbarians... The domes will have to wait...

[Rob]: Or we could use the attack to destroy the domes...

[Aevan]: Yeah, hijack some ships and then fly them to the domes...

[Toon]: It sounds risky...

[Brian]: It would only require a few people to go to each dome... We have 25 people on this team... Even if we sent 5 to each, 15 is still a large enough team...

[Zon]: Agreed, but who actually wants to go to the domes?

[Only Zon, Brian, Aevan, and Rob raise their hands.]

[Paper]: Okay, here's what we're going to do... We'll split into 5 teams... 2 teams will go up and each member will hijack a ship. One team will go to Canberra and the other Novosibirsk... They will take out the domes from there... A third team will continue to destroy the fleet. A fourth team will directly attack and try to slow down the main warship while the final team infiltrates it and takes out the Phantom...

[Brian]: Okay, I'll take my team to Novosibirsk... Zon, Ben, Jack, and Nar.

[Rob]: Then Aevan, Sub, Will, and Cassie will be going with me...

[Ivada]: I'll take Relgo, Kruto, Kali, and Fear up to destroy the invasion...

[Water]: I guess I'll take Hornbok, Toon, other Toon, and Nick to slow down the warship...

[Sci]: Then that leaves me, Paper, Bink, Future Paper, and Slick to go into the warship.

[Hornbok]: Right, let's go...

[A screen appears in the warehouse. Ben Tennyson's face is on it.]

[Ben Tennyson]: Hornbok?

[Hornbok]: Yes, Tennyson?

[Ben Tennyson]: There are two people who would like a word with you...

[He steps back and the President and Secretary General appear on the screen.]

[President]: Start explaining...

[Hornbok]: We don't know yet! All we know is that the Aldabarbarians don't mean good... We're about to go up there right now, but we ensure you a victory with limited damage to the surface...

[Secretary General]: We trust you... Now get the job done...

[The screen disappears.]

[Hornbok]: Alright. Divide into your teams and let's get this ship stopped!

[The camera cuts high into the air. Auris flies into view with the Ringmaster, Archangel, and Revel aboard. They are only about 1000 feet away from the warship when the Ringmaster stands up and blasts a wave of energy at it. The ships defense systems activate and fire thousands of red blasts back at him. He blocks with an energy shield as Auris blasts a golden energy beam out of his mouth. Archangel jumps and begins to fly over to the ship. He takes out dual swords as he blasts lasers out of his eyes. They begin to carve a whole in the ship as he spins away to avoid blasts from the ship. He lands on top of the ship and then burrows his swords into it. He carves them out as more blasts come out of the ship and come towards him. He runs towards the windshield of the ship and then begins to slash at it. The Phantom can be seen on the inside of the command room. He points at Archangel. More blasts hit him and eventually they knock him back away from the windshield. Auris drops Revel and the Ringmaster down onto the area of the ship outside the windshield. The Ringmaster fires an energy beam out of the energy ring at the windshield, but the shields defense systems simply absorb them blasts. More blasts are fired at the villains as they continue their assault.]

[Ringmaster]: Impressive ship design... But it will surely be penetrated eventually...

[They continue to attack as one large Plumber ship pulls up to the Aldabarbarian warship. Water, Hornbok, Toon, Future Toon, and Nick get out of the ship.]

[Nick]: Great now we have the Ringmaster to deal with...

[Hornbok]: Maybe not... It appears he's trying to stop the Aldabarbarians...

[Water]: Well, we might as well start trying to stop them, too...

[Toon jumps forward off the edge of the ship and then propels himself forward with a fire cloud. He stops in front of the ship and then begins to blast fire at it. Future Toon flies up to next to him with a fire cloud and begins to join the attack. Water grabs a jet pack and then puts it on. He flies up to the front of the ship and then blasts the entire front of it with red energy. As the attack continues, the camera cuts inside the ship.]

[Commander]: The defenses remain strong but the attack is building. We are also now close enough to begin an attack on the surface.

[Phantom]: Launch the fleet.

[The camera shows the underside of the ship. Hundreds of ships exit and begin to move downwards towards the surface. The camera cuts to Brian, Zon, Ben, Jack, and Nar each fighting the fleet in different ways. Brian is chasing one ship as a large bird, Zon is chasing another as half Vulpimancer half Lepidopterran. Ben is flying outright while Jack and Nar have jet packs. Nar eventually lands down on the ship. He sticks his katannas into the ship and crashes through the windshield. He grabs the pilot and then throws him out as he begins to pilot the ship on his own.]

[Nar]: Who else is in?

[Ben]: I am?

[Zon is seen landing on a ship and crashing through the windshield. A few seconds later, the original pilot goes flying out.]

[Zon]: That makes three of us...

[Brian lands down on the back of the ship he was chasing. He turns into an insect and then drills into the ship. He eventually drills into the cabin and then grows full size and kicks the pilot out.]

[Brian]: Four...

[Jack]: And five...

[Brian]: Then let's head for Novosibirsk...

[The ships all converge and then zoom off into the distance. The camera cuts to Aevan, Sub, Will, Cassie, and Rob. They are also fighting the fleet. Rob blasts red energy at a ship as he flies towards it with a jet pack. The pilot flies out and then Rob lands in it. Sub can be seen flying along in an ice cloud as he freezes a ship and then unfreezes it. He lands and then kicks the pilot out before beginning to fly it. Aevan launches his shadow at a ship and then takes out the pilot. He lands on the ship as his shadow returns. He then kicks out the pilot and gets into the ship.]

[Will]: My turn!

[Will teleports to the front of the ship. He kicks through the windshield and then kicks the pilot and throws him away. He gets into the ship and then begins to pilot it. Cassie absorbs blasts from another ship. She then fires one blasts at the pilot after kicking the windshield open. She throws the pilot out and then gets into the ship.]

[Rob]: Ok then, Canberra here we come...

[Again, the five ships converge and fly off into the distance. The camera cuts back to the group trying to delay the ship. Hornbok flies up on a jet pack and then takes out a missile launcher and fire a missile at the ship. It explodes and then sends the ship to a surprising stop.]

[Hornbok]: It stopped?

[The camera shows the group on deck. The Ringmaster stops his energy blasts and looks around. Archangel and Revel stop to.]

[Ringmaster]: The ship stopped?

[The camera cuts inside.]

[Phantom]: Why aren't we moving?

[Admiral]: We're detecting an unknown energy signature...

[From the inside, the Aldabarbarians witness the windshield begin to freeze over. The entire inside of the ship becomes icy. Outside, ice is now covering the entire ship. Randomly, a different ship appears across from the Aldabarbarian ship. It is facing towards it, and the entire fleet is in between the two. The Phantom gets up out of his chair.]

[Phantom]: WHO BROUGHT THEM HERE?

[Paradox and another figure appear across from the Phantom.]

[Paradox]: That would be me...

[Commercial]

[Phantom]: Why have you brought them here...

[Figure]: Because the Betelgusians take an attack on the Earth as a threat of war... If you wish to continue the invasion, then do so, but if this ship moves on inch, the Betelgusians will take that as a threat and we will be forced to declare war.

[Phantom]: You know what I will do....

[He presses a button on a holographic screen in front of him. The ship begins to thaw out as it slowly creeps forward.]

[Figure]: You were warned, Phantom...

[Paradox and the figure teleport out of the Phantom's nest and onto the Betelgusian warship. They start to walk down the hallway.]

[Figure]: You understand this means war...

[Paradox]: Sir Truph, I'm fully aware of the situation

[Truph]: Then why aren't you helping...

[Paradox]: I'm not allowed to...

[Truph turns around as they reach an elevator.]

[Truph]: I understand Paradox, but we're about to reignite an ancient conflict that will take centuries to settle out... With all the other struggles happening this summer... I just don't know...

[He turns around as the door to the elevator opens. Bioth and Chemestris are in the elevator.]

[Truph]: Intruder!

[Bioth]: It appears we will see some action after all...

[The camera cuts to a Plumber ship with Paper, Sci, Bink, Future Paper, and Slick on it. The ship moves to below the Phantom's nest and then moves into the area where the fleet ships are exiting. They land and then quickly get out. Future Paper fires an arrow at the controls for the docking area. The docking bay closes up, preventing any more ships from taking off. Paper then plugs in a wrist computer to the ships computers and transfers a map of the ship to it.]

[Paper]: Got a map, let's move!

[He leads them down a hallway as they continue to run. They occasionally find guards but they quickly take them out.]

[Bink]: Some one want to tell me what that other ship was...

[Slick]: Looked like it was of Betelgusian origin to me...

[As Slick says the next line, flashbacks from the most previous war of the Aldabarbarians and Betelgusians are shown.]

The Betelgusians were a race of aliens that had always fought the Aldabarbarians, even before the Phantom conquered them. Just before the dawn of the 20th centuries, a treaty was signed that said neither planet was allowed to make an act of war without the other knowing. With the Aldabarbarians invading, the Betelgusians must have found out and gotten here as quickly as they could...

[Sci]: So we're in the midst of an ancient conflict...

[Slick]: Yes... If the war begins again, with Earth right in the center of it, we'll never get anywhere...

[Future Paper]: In other words, we've got to stop them and we've got to stop them fast?

[Slick]: Precisely...

[Paper]: Then let's keep moving...

[They get to a turn in the hallway and then turn to the right. They run down a short hallway and then head through a door and find themselves in the command room.]

[Slick]: Okay Phantom, call off the attack...

[The Phantom spins around the command chair.]

[Phantom]: And I would do that...

[His eyes widen.]

[Phantom, enraged]: CHILD OF DARKNESS!

[He stands up and then quickly takes a few steps towards the group.]

[Sci]: Everyone's obsessed with my dad...

[The camera cuts to the team arriving at Novosibirsk.]

[Brian flies his ship down close to the dome and then begins to fire blasts at it. Zon zooms his ship down and fires more blasts at the dome. The robot army on the ground starts firing rockets and blasts at the ships. Ben flies his ship towards the dome and then ejects it as it crashes into the dome cracking it. He flies down into the dome and then shouts a sonic scream, tearing through a bunch of robots. He starts to head for the main unit while Jack and Nar fly their ships down close to the ground and then zoom ahead. They come to a stop about 50 feet from the main unit. Ben blasts another sonic scream at a bunch of robots and then jumps and begins to punch and kick his way through them. Jack fires a storm of electricity at the robots and then tears through a bunch more. Brian tackles a robot as a cheetah and then quickly changes into a gorilla and smashes two more together. Zon blasts diamonds at the last one before turning back to normal and stopping across from the others.]

[Zon]: I'd say this is a success don't you think?

[He blasts an enormous amount of green energy as Jack blasts electricity, Ben blasts sonic screams, and Brian blasts energy out of blasters. Nar simply stands to the side.]

[Nar]: How come I'm the only one without blasting powers...

[Brian]: Who knows...

[The combined blasts eventually caused the main unit to explode, cutting off power to the remaining section of the dome.]

[Jack]: Now come on, back to the warship!

[They run back to their jets.]

[Ben]: Uh, Jack, can I tag along with you? I seemed to have crashed my jet...

[Jack rolls his eyes as the camera cuts to the command room of the ship.]

[Phantom]: I knew it! You are Rigon's child!

[Sci]: Yes now can we get on with your beatdown? I've been waiting for a while to beat something up and I don't want to come up empty handed...

[Phantom]: Now Sci, if I remember your name correctly, I believe that you misunderstood what I meant... I cannot simply let you live...

[Paper steps forward.]

[Paper]: You wanna kill him? Well you've got to go through me first?

[Phantom]: Then you must be the Guardian... Not impressed...

[Paper quick draws an arrow and fires it at the Phantom. He knocks it to the side as Slick jumps over Paper and then punches at the Phantom, but he catches Slick with both hands and then hurls him around in a circle and across the room. Bink blasts an enormous red energy blast at the Phantom, but he counters with a dark fire blast emanating from one hand while he blasts dark fire in the other direction at Sci. He counters with a wall of earth. The Phantom jumps back to avoid the earth wall. It goes past him and hits Bink. He then steps forward again and starts to throw blast after blast of dark fire at Sci. He fires regular fireballs at the Phantom to counter while Future Paper fires an exploding arrow at the Phantom. It hits and knocks him back. Slick then grabs the Phantom from behind, but he flips over and then punches Slick into Future Paper. Paper fires more arrows, but he jumps back and forth while moving towards Paper to avoid. He punches Paper back and then jumps to avoid a blast from Bink.]

[Bink]: Riadim ni mih part

[He stops in midair, allowing Slick to jump at him and punch him onto the ground. He rolls across the ground and then get knocked back through the windshield by an arrow from Future Paper. He lands and then looks behind him. He sees the Ringmaster and his crew staring at him. Auris is floating just beyond the edge of the ship and the Betelgusian ship can be seen in the distance.]

[Ringmaster]: Are you the one controlling this attack?

[Phantom]: I most certainly am...

[Before another second passes, the Ringmaster blasts white energy at the Phantom. He counters with a dark fire blast and then the Ringmaster stops his attack. Auris flies in and looks down on the Phantom.]

[Phantom]: Too much!

[He walks back into the command room and then places a hand on the windshield and fixes it. The Ringmaster and Auris begin to blast energy out their ring and mouth respectively. Inside, the Phantom looks around at the team.]

[Phantom]: I've had enough of all this fighting...

[He blasts an enormous cloud of dark fire at the team. Sci blocks with a normal fire cloud and then the two begin to blast their own kinds of fire at each other as the camera cuts to the Betelgusian ship. Bioth throws a roundhouse at Truph. He gets knocked back, but he then jumps and kicks Bioth in the face. He jumps and kicks again but this time get caught by Bioth and thrown to the ground. Chemestris takes out a pistol and aims it at Truph. He blasts an ice wave at Chemestris and then jumps up and kicks Bioth into the wall. He turns around and fires more ice blasts at Chemestris. She blocks two blasts and then continues to block them as Truph fires more.]

[Chemestris]: Stop this! We're both fighting for the same team... against the Aldabarbarians...

[Paradox]: We won't work with the Elite...

[Truph]: We may have to... Follow me...

[All 4 go into the elevator. It goes up the shaft and then opens up in the command room. They walk to the front where they see the two fleets in a massive dogfight. They also see a Plumber's ship in the midst of the fight. In the distance, the Phantom's nest can be seen with the Ringmaster and his crew on or around it.]

[Truph]: I remember the Phantom's takeover like it was yesterday... It was a great time of peace between the Aldabarbarians and the Betelgusians... A peace time that had never been experienced before... And then the Phantom arrived on Aldabarbaria... Within a year, he had conquered much of the planet, and he began his siege on the capital... It eventually fell, and the Aldabarbarians made the Phantom their ruler. A few years later, the Aldabarbarians arrived in the Milky Way and began to conquer it... It was almost 80 years before the Betelgusians discovered the threat... The war has began once again...

[Chemestris]: Meanwhile, a small team of Plumbers is inside the ship, while more still are fighting the fleet or trying to stop the ship...

[Truph]: But what the Phantom doesn't know is that we actually have a device that can completely stop all power from flowing in the nest and make the ship go dormant... We just need someone to get it inside.

[Truph looks at Paradox.]

[Paradox]: Tell me what I need to do...

[The camera cuts to the team trying to slow the ship. Hornbok, Toon, Future Toon, Nick, and Water make their way onto the deck of the ship where they find the Ringmaster.]

[Ringmaster]: Well if I can't get inside, then I'm just going to have to settle...

[He blasts white energy at the team. Water jumps in the way and blasts red energy to counter. The blasts disappear and then Water jumps and punches the Ringmaster. His punch is so strong that he charges through the Ringmaster and knocks him all the way back through the windshield. Water eventually comes to a stop as the Ringmaster hits the Phantom, cutting off the dark fire wave that he had been blasting at the team inside. The team is nowhere to be seen. The Phantom jumps up and then places his hand on the wall to cause the windshield to regenerate.]

[Phantom]: I wasn't expecting to have you get inside...

[Ringmaster]: I wasn't expecting you to just show up on the Earth...

[Phantom]: Well we can't change that, can we?

[He blasts dark fire at the Ringmaster as the Ringmaster counters with his own fire stream. He charges and then eventually punches the Phantom back. He punches again, but the Phantom catches his punch and then rips off the hand of his armor. The armor around the Ringmaster disappears.]

[Ringmaster]: Ha, an old man! A child would be more menacing!

[He observes the glove for a moment. He is about to put it on when David jumps at it and knocks it out of his hands. He puts it back on and becomes the Ringmaster once more. Suddenly, Slick jumps in from behind and knocks the Phantom to the ground.]

[Slick]: One threat down, one to go!

[The other members of his team are standing across from the Ringmaster.]

[Commercial]

[The camera cuts to the team arriving at Canberra. They are already inside fighting the robots.]

[Aevan]: This is actually kind of fun...

[Sub]: I just wonder what the others are up to...

[Will teleports and then gets behind a robot and knocks it into two more. Rob takes out a sword and slashes through a bunch of robots. Cassie picks up one robot and then hurls it into another. Sub starts blasting ice at all the robots. Aevan launches his shadow through a bunch and then kicks the last one to the ground. The team starts running for the main unit.]

[Rob]: Has it always been this easy?

[Will]: No, it hasn't been... Maybe we're just used to fighting these robots by now...

[Cassie]: Well here it is... Here's the main unit.

[Aevan launches his shadow at it as Rob blasts red energy, Sub blasts ice, and Cassie blasts the remaining of her energy she absorbed during the fight.]

[Will]: Well this sucks...

[Sub]: Ah don't worry, I bet it happened to someone in Novosibirsk, too...

[They eventually overload the unit and it explodes, destroying the the dome above them.]

[Aevan]: And if the one in Novosibirsk is destroyed, then we're done! All the domes are destroyed...

[Cassie]: But then we'll just have to go for the control unit and hope that none of the others have been repaired...

[The camera cuts back to the deck of the Phantom's nest. Toon and Future Toon are locked into a close combat battle with Revel. He throws several punches at Toon and then gets knocked back by a fire wave from Future Toon.]

[Revel]: Nice try...

[He avoids another fireball and then jumps and kicks Future Toon backwards into Toon. He then turns and gets punched in the face three times by Hornbok. He falls to the ground as Hornbok turns and punches Archangel. Auris fires a golden energy blast down at Hornbok, but he puts up a shield to block it. Water jumps up and blasts red energy at Auris as Nick flies up and sprays acid at him. Auris swipes his hand and knocks Water down, but Nick catches him and then lets him down to the ground. Water blasts more red energy as Auris swoops around. Hornbok looks around and then sees Paradox, Truph, Chemestris, and Bioth running onto the deck towards the windshield.]

[Hornbok]: Admiral Truph? What are you doing working with the Elite?

[Truph]: They're about to save your lives... We have the Ice Key... All we need to do is replace it with the Fire Key and the ship, as well as all the Aldabarbarians will go into a permanent, dormant state, until the Ice Key is removed of course...

[Hornbok]: I still don't trust them...

[Truph]: You don't have to, only I will be going in...

[Hornbok]: I'm coming with you...

[Truph]: Fair enough, now let's hurry...

[Hornbok nods his head.]

[Hornbok]: Water, open up the windshield...

[Water nods his head and then turns to the windshield and fires a blast of red energy at the windshield, breaking it. Chemestris notices that he still has his powers and her eyes widen. Hornbok and Truph then run through the broken windshield and find the team inside fighting the Ringmaster. Bink fires a stream of red energy at him as he blocks with a water wave and then blasts an air current at Sci who blasts fire at him. Slick jump and then punches at the Ringmaster, but he catches and the punch and then hurls Slick into Future Paper. Paper fires an exploding arrow which knocks the Ringmaster back into the wall. Hornbok and Truph arrive in the center of the room.]

[Hornbok]: Where's the keyhole?

[Truph runs over to the command chair and presses a button. The chair raises and the keyhole with the Fire Key in it can be seen. The Phantom starts to wake up. Truph takes out the Fire Key, which cuts off power to the ship.]

[Phantom]: NO! DON'T PUT THE KEY IN!

[He dives at Truph but he quickly places the Ice Key in. The Phantom gets punched back by Hornbok so he lands in the chair. He gets frozen in a normal sitting position that makes it look like if he never noticed a thing. The chair slides down to hide the key as the entire ship freezes over. Truph gets up and backs away from the command chair. He is now holding the Fire Key.]

[Truph]: We did it, we saved the planet...

[Outside, all the Aldabarbarian ships disappear. The Betelgusian ships circle back around and return to their warship. The only ship remaining is the Plumber ship with Ivada, Kruto, Relgo, Kali, and Fear on it.]

[Kali]: They did it! The attack stopped.

[Ivada]: Now let's return to the ground...

[The camera cuts to the entire team at the main room of the Fractal City base.]

[Brian]: The Novosibirsk dome was destroyed...

[Rob]: As way the dome in Canberra...

[Hornbok]: And the Phantom's nest is in a state of dormancy, and it will remain that way as long as the Ice Key remains inside the ship. Admiral Truph of the Betelgusians took the Fire Key and says he is going to bring it to his home world and figure out a way to destroy it.

[Ivada]: Until then, we did great work today... The Ringmaster got away, though...

[Paper]: Which brings up the question of why he was even there to begin with...

[Future Toon]: Most likely he took the appearance of a warship in the skies as a threat and decided to investigate... We'll get him eventually...

[Relgo]: And we also have to deal with the matter of hiding the Phantom's nest...

[Hornbok]: It can't be moved from where it is, so I guess we'll just cloak it... Now we must return to the game plan... With all 4 domes destroyed, we only need to find 2 sages and 2 pieces of the sword before the alignment... The control unit in the Mediterranean is important, but the others are more important...

[Sci]: Yes, they are, now can we get some rest... It's been a long day...

[The recruits share a laugh as the camera cuts to Betelgusia.]

[Truph is walking down the hallway of the castle. He enters his room and then takes out a containment unit. He opens it up and finds it empty.]

[Truph]: NO, where'd it go?

[The camera cuts to Psyocs. Chemestris and Bioth are sitting in the room. She is holding the Fire Key in front of her. A screen is in front of them with the faces of the other 6 members of the Elite in front of them.]

[Lotin]: Excellent work getting the Fire Key, Chemestris... It will be quite useful to us, both in the immediate future, and for many years to come...

[The End]
