Re: Cyber Hearts Episode 22A

(OP: Grip)

At the diner, the group looked surprised as they were eating their food.

Serena: Oh my gosh! You’re telling me you went to those worlds!?

Dora: Si, and we need to find a way to restore some of the others.

Bubbles: We did with both the Professor and Murial.

All while the old woman continued sipping her tea.

Murial: You know, I still miss Eustace.

Blossom: There are a lot of people that we missed, Mrs. Bagge.

Boots: Yeah, like Isa, Benny, Tico, and our families.

Eduardo: Hey, don’t worry. Once we find way to restore world, I is sure that we will help you see your amigos again.

Buttercup: He’s right. I mean, what are the odds of us not seeing our friends again?

Vultureman: (frowns) If you call the Plundarian mutants friends.

Princess: (rolls eyes) Oh boy.

Matt: Well, for right now, we need to keep Julayla safe at all cost.

Ami: Yeah, who knows when those monsters will strike next.

Unknown to the laughing group (though Mandy wasn’t laughing with them), a few Heartless were watching them, including the ones led by the Bilingual Bandit.

Bandit: (quietly) All right, guys. Prepare yourselves.

(Episode 22: Snake’s Secret Revealed, Heroes vs Phage)

A while later, the group saw Monroe as Digit presented the Gummi Block.

Digit: Hey, do you know what this is?

Monroe: (nods) Aye, it looks like a navigation block.

He then took it as he continued.

Monroe: Everyone, wait here. I’ll be installing this if you need me.

With that, he headed off to install the device. Snake looked at the sky and groaned.

Snake: Uh, guysss?

Cherry: Somethin’ wrong, Snake?

Snake: (sighs) I jussst need air, that’s all.

Berry: We’ll be waiting here if you need us.

He nodded as he left the group while Zatch became concerned.

Zatch: (thinking) There’s something he’s not telling us. But what?

They then noticed Delete looking down.

Frankie: Hey, what’s wrong?

Goo: Yeah, you look like something made you sad.

Minimus: Just remember what Ling Ling told you: no sad faces.

Delete: (sadly) But how can you all be so happy?

Grievous: Besides, didn’t this Galactic Guardian you keep talking about, become more of a worry to you?

Nemesis: Hmph, like I would worry about a Galactic Guardian. She sent that stupid note saying that we should stay with the key bearer.

Maximus: She’s right and as long as we’re staying together, we can accomplish even the impossible!

Ling Ling: Hai! You just have to believe in yourselves!

Delete: Yeah...believe.

Artemis then looked at the sun about to go down.

Artemis: Anyway, the sun’s going down and there’s no sign of those Heartless.

Luna: But still, we have to be careful. Even when the world’s keyhole is sealed, there are still Heartless running about.

Buttercup: Now you tell us!

Delete: I wish Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were with us. They could probably track down Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome, even in difficult places.

Digit: Uh, Delete, that would be meddling.

Delete: I don’t care! They must be desperate on finding them! Even Kilala agrees!

The cat demon nodded, meowing as she looked concerned.

Artemis: But the rules state that-

Juniper: Rules, schmules! If they want to find their friends, then let them come over here!

Dora: But in order to do that, we need to make a group of at least about less than twenty.

Wilt: You know, you have something there, Dora.

Amy: That’s right. In order for us to attack head on, splitting into groups of less than twenty members is a good idea.

Yumi: Well, we already have our ten, which consist of us.

Julayla: But what about Snake?

Fuzzy: He’s fine! We don’t need ‘im!

Courage: But, but, but-

Snake’s Voice: AHHHH!!!

All: Snake!

They headed off to where the voice of the screaming reptile was. Near the hotel, the evil reptile held the half demon by the neck as Snake struggled.

Phage: Ah, so at last we meet, for the final time.

Snake: (struggles) If you’re desssperate, then go ahead and kill me already!

Phage: Fine, I will!

He then raised his claw toward Snake as he prepared for the kill. The two glanced at each other’s eyes for a long moment. The giant reptile then groaned as he purposely hit the wall instead.

Snake: Huh?

He looked seriously at Snake as he spoke.

Phage: Why, Sanford? Why did I have to grow so fond of you?

Snake: (confused) You don’t have the urge to kill me, do you?

Phage: (sighs) Listen to me, I don’t know why I’m having these emotions toward you. In fact, I shouldn’t have them, but I do. It’s as if I’ve grown accustomed to you.

Snake: What?

Phage: You and I are the true last of our kind and I know that I made my rule of there only being one, but still...after I rid of my siblings, back before I met you. It had gotten quite boring without another Teknophage to meet with.

Snake: Why, ssso you could kill him or her too?

Phage: It’s nothing like that, but when I was the last of my kind, I was, dare I say it...lonely. Longing for another like myself.

Snake: (frowns) And you’re usssing the Triforce Crystal for what reassson?

Phage then looked seriously as he spoke.

Phage: To create a new race of the Teknophage with me and you as gods! (grins) Trust me, boy. Together, we can bring in a new race with the Triforce Crystal and rule side by side like father and son! And you’ll thank me and like me like a true father.

Snake: (angrily) I have a father! Hisss name is Matthew Ingleberry!

Just then, Snake noticed the sun completely down as he noticed his claws starting to twitch. He gasped as he spoke.

Snake: No, not now!

He screamed as he was picked up by the evil demon. Just then, he noticed the heroes arriving as he spoke.

Phage: They may want to believe that you have taken damage. Sorry about this.

He then punched Snake’s gut, making him lose consciousness as his skin started changing color and his tail started shrinking. Just as the heroes arrived at the scene, the group gasped at who they saw.

All: Phage!

Grievous: You again!

Phage: (notices them) Ah, greetings General Traitor. I see you have brought me the key bearer and the remaining Triforce Crystal pieces.

The two with the crystals looked at the triangles, then glared at the reptile.

Nemesis: That’s right, and we’re not giving them to you!

Buttercup: Let Snake go, if you know what’s good for you!

Phage: You want the boy? You want the half demon?

He then laughed wickedly as he showed a human boy with Snake’s clothing and hairstyle.

Phage: Here is your half demon! Just as he is shown on the night of no moon!

He was then thrown toward them in his human form. The group looked concerned as Bloo spoke.

Bloo: Great, what we don’t need: a shapeshifter.

Grievous: He’s a half demon, you twit!

Vultureman: (surprised) Whoa.

Zatch: No wonder he was desperate to get away from us during tonight.

Kiyo: (frowns) It doesn’t matter. We’ll take that monster down before he can kill us!

He took out the spell book as everyone prepared to fight him.

Julayla: Just remember, he’s very strong and only off-world matter can hurt or kill him.

Eduardo: What is off-world matter?

Before the fighters could strike, a scream was heard. They turned and gasped as they saw Dora, Diego, Ami, and Boots (along with a familiar lifeless girl) being held by Katz, Hacker, and the Heartless with them.

Delete: Oh no! They got the guys, plus Inez!

Katz: Princess Julayla, hand over the Light and Twilight Crystals and we may let these fools live.

Julayla: And if we don’t?

Hacker then took out an object only Digit could recognize.

Digit: (confused) Magnetite? But that stuff only affect robots and cyborgs! Why don’t you have hives like you usually do?

Hacker: (grins) Oh, you stupid cyber turkey. This is a different kind of magnetite: one that affects humans. I would have been finished sooner, but a certain blob and certain elephant kept messing it up!

Katz and Phage just rolled their eyes as he continued.

Hacker: And I’ve decided to test it on a certain pink haired rockstar. She will be the first victim of my human-affecting magnetite!

He leaned near the humans and chimp as they gulped.

Hacker: So unless you want them to be affected very badly, I suggest you do what they say and hand over the Triforce Crystals...or the Saiyan Princess if you prefer.

Shirly: (angrily) How dare you use them!

Katz: (shrugs) What can I say, we’re evil.

Grim: (groans) I knew it: we’re all doomed either way!

Mandy: Do you have anything useful to say for once?

Billy: Can I see the magnet-thingie, Mr. Bald Green Man?

Hacker: (insulted) How dare you!

Katz and the demon chuckled, but stopped and whistled as Hacker glared at them.

Hacker: I’m not going to ask again: Hand either one over or the humans and stupid monkey in boots gets it!

They looked worried as Snake, groaning, got up as he glared at the villains.

Snake: They don’t belong to you! Let them go or else!

He took out his blade as the Phage motioned the Bandit leader with his Heartless to them.

Bandit: Okay, bub, time to make sure you become one of us.

The five leading Heartless charged toward them. The heroes quickly started fighting back while Hacker spoke to Delete.

Hacker: You still have to the count of three to hand either one over or they will suffer!

Delete panicked as Hacker began the countdown.

Hacker: One...

Delete: Boss, please!

Hacker: Two...

Delete: Please, no!

Hacker: Three-

Voice: Dragon Slave!

An attack hit Hacker, causing him to let the hostages with the lifeless Inez go. Delete then looked surprised as he saw Zelgadis with three others Delete had never seen before.

Zelgadis: I’m glad that Lina and the others found me. Also, glad to make it on time.

The four jumped down as Zell spoke.

Zelgadis: These are my comrades: Lina Inverse, Gourry, and Amelia.

Amelia: (smiles) Oh, it’s so nice to meet you, Mr. Keyblade Master!

Delete: These guys are the friends you were talking about?

Lina: That’s right! And as most powerful sorceress, I like to tell you that I’m not allowing some bogus jerk steal all my glory!

Gourry: (notices) Hey, why’s that cat coming to us?

The four noticed as Katz quickly blasted them.

Five: Gah!

Delete dodged, but the four were hit toward Zatch and Kiyo, knocking them out. Danny, June, and Mac helped Delete up.

Mac: Are you all right?

Delete: Yeah, I’m okay.

Katz then pounced toward them as he shouted.

Katz: For this, you shall all die!

He tried swiping his claw toward them, but Delete screamed as he saw Katz snatching the Summon Bracelet away from him.

Delete: (gasps) Give that back!

Katz: Make me!

The two struggled as the droid spoke.

Delete: Those are my friends, you big dummy-headed pussy...cat.

Katz: (rolls eyes/sarcastically) What a good comeback.

The two continued struggling as Danny, June, and Mac grabbed it as well.

Danny: No way are we letting you take his friends!

They struggled as Danny continued.

Danny: Besides, we care for all of Delete’s friends: be it summon or hero!

Juniper: And we’re not letting a jerk like you take that friendship of his away!

Mac: After all, we’re his friends and we’re going to back him up, no matter what!

Katz: So you all wish to die, right? All right, be my guests!

He then shot out an energy ball, starting to absorb the four that still held onto the bracelet. Just as they were absorbed while holding the side where Swiper was inside, four shining lights broke out and shattered the ball. It brightened the battle area as Katz covered his eyes. When it cleared, he opened his eyes and gasped as a glaring fox was now holding the bracelet alongside with Delete’s group.

Katz: What the hell!?

Swiper: (frowns) I believe those belong to Delete!

Then, what appeared to be three other keyblades swung down, nearly hitting Katz, forcing him to let go of the bracelet.

Katz: (surprised) No, impossible! Three more Keyblade Masters!?

Delete turned and also noticed Danny, June, and Mac each holding a keyblade.

Delete: More keyblades?

He then noticed Swiper with them.

Delete: Swiper, how did you get out? I didn’t even summon you.

Swiper: Well, I was like Danny, June, and Mac: I wanted to help you and the next thing I knew, I was holding the bracelet you were getting back.

He placed it back on Delete’s wrist as he smiled.

Delete: Thanks.

Swiper: Come on, we have some friends to help out.

Danny: (confused) But why did three new keyblades appear on us?

Mac: I don’t know.

June: We’ll figure it all out after we get that Darkness crystal off of that stupid cat!

With that, the battle continued as both sides continued fighting.
