Across the world, both Decepticons and Cobra Command were engaging and battling with the Ultimate Army and their secret weapons. The battle was fierce especially when they were dueling with indestructible and powerful Twelve Cybertronian Knights who have blasted, slaughtered and destroyed Decepticons Troops and vehicles at ease. More of Ultimate Army Reinforcement from around the world have arrived and assist their allies against the enemies.

But luckily, Decepticons-Cobra Command were being reinforced by their allies - Autobots-G.I. Joe, who have been groundbridged from Fortress of Deity's Wrath. The United Alliance of Good and Evil worked and engaged together against the Ultimate Army. They must hold their enemies long enough to buy their allies to complete their mission.

At Great Walls, China; Shockwave fired his AstroMag Cannon at White Omega while Prowl swiftly and calmly charging and striking his Shurikens at the Cybertronian White Knight. White Omega activated both Dragoon Sword Blade in swinging his sword at Prowl while firing his Wolf Canon at Shockwave. Luckily, both of them dodged the attacks while still engaging him. Destro continued leading 120,000 soldiers engaging and attacking Ultimate Army.

Both Drift and Ultra V Beta were on the duel through both twin bladed swords striking, slashing and clashing at each other fiercely in high speed and agility while Scorn engaged with the Ultimate soldiers in-between his robot mode's striking whip and Spinnosaurus's rampaging at Uluru, Australia. At London, England; both Crosshairs and Stinger were firing their dual blasters at Gallant Gamma, who used his Shield of Justice in blocking and deflecting the blasts while striking his Lance of Joust at them both, who dodged swiftly and quickly. 5000 Soldiers were dealing with Ultimate Army.

At Delhi, India; Magna Delta firing his Golden Bullets and Missiles at his enemies. Smokescreen used his smokescreen grenades in covering while firing his blasters at him. Tomax and Xamot were leading 50,000 soldiers in engaging with Ultimate Army. At Chernobyl, Russia; Dynast Epsilon and Berserker roared wildly as they began their onslaught duel fiercely and wildly by punching, clawing and scratching at each other nonstop. Leading the 20,000 army while using his exploding firefly drones, Firefly was dealing with the Ultimate Army.

Slug rammed most of Armor Guardians and even Crusade Zeta, who used her ramming shield in blocking and fighting against the Triceratops Cybertronian while Jinx solely engaging and attacking the Ultimate Army at Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Grimlock and EXA Theta roared wildly and angrily as they both have the fierce and wild animal duel while Colonel Lennox and Sergeant Epps led their NEST Team engaging with the enemy troops at Qatar, Iran.

At Namibia, Afrrica; Combaticons combined into Bruticus as he combated with Cranial Sigma while Hound fired his various guns and blasters at purple knight. Roadblock then led 10,000 soldiers in using their Gatling Guns, Missile Launchers and turrets of defeating the enemy troops and the arsenals. Kentaurus Kappa fired his Elemental Arrows on his enemy troops. Both Spirit and Major Blud strategically and calmly used their camouflage tactics on terrains while using their swords and various guns at him, and even leading 20,000 soldiers against Ultimate Army during the Battle of Mexico City, Mexico.

By shooting their guns and swinging their blades, Strafe and Breakaway were engaging Jesuits Omnicron on midair at Ottawa, Canada. Dreadbot went wild as he charged and battled playfully and wildly with Bushido Iota while Joe and his G.I. Joe were dealing with Ultimate Army at Godthab, Greenland. At Machu Picchu, Peru; Stone and Heavy Duty led theirs and NEST Team of battling the Ultimate Army. Mohawk was crazy and wild in backstabbing on Leopard Chi's back and front while the knight was striking his rapier at Scourge, who deflected the attacks with his metallic wings while struck his claws at him.

No matter what happens or even how many soldiers they have to deal with, United Alliance of Good and Evil must hold their enemies down while buying time for their secondary units to accomplish their missions at Fortress of Deity's Wrath. They can't lose now.





At the Command Center, Nezha Vengito was looking at several monitor screens as he was both overseeing the event while giving orders to his troops in handling and dealing with the enemies. While his army were fighting back the enemies, he was angered that he's unable to gain his victory and defeated them.

Starkiller remained calm and firm while both Sushi Tsunami and Ripper were becoming uneasy and concern of the situation. Both Ultimate Warriors can't help but felt that there's something off with the battlefield.

The Ultimate Soldier entered the command center as he whispered to Sushi Tsunami. She turned and glared at the soldier, who nodded in confirmation. She snarled in anger while clenched her watery fists tightly. She turned to both Starkiller and Ripper.

"You two, remained with our leader. I'm going off to fulfill my mission," Sushi Tsunami snarled dryly, "And more importantly, if anything falls, pumped the Artificial Energon and launched Black Alpha to battlefield."

Ripper hummed, "Alright, mate. We've got it."

"Understood..." Starkiller snarled calmly.

Sushi Tsunami turned and walked out of the Command Center. Ripper and Starkiller remained with their Chief Commander for now.





At Fortress of Deity's Wrath; a small group of G.I. Joe, Cobra Command, Dragon Strike Force and Mane Three were battling with Ultimates' Securities while running through chambers and hallways to the basement. With Ciel and ZeekCrimson's guidance, they will help and lead the team to find and get Black Alpha while defeating Grand Admiral Death Tactic.

Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Aquastroke and Rainbow Dash were on the front line as they were engaging and battling with Ultimate Army. Duke, Cobra Command, Scarlett, Baroness, Dr. Mindbender and Blazefist were on the center as they assisted the front and rear by firing their guns at the enemies. ZeekCrimson stayed close with Ciel. Pinkie Pie, Laxtinct, Ripcord, Zartan and Shorty Thinking were on the rear as they were dealing with a few securities.

The team have defeated and knocked out their the securities. They have arrived at the lift.

"By using this lift, it should able to led you all down to Death Tactic's Laboratory Basement," Ciel explained calmly and firmly, "He and Black Alpha should be there."

"Alright then! Let's do this." Duke ordered, "We don't have much time."

Cobra Commander nodded while looking at his watch, "Yes. We only have 6 more hours before planetary alignment is complete."

"Hold up," Blazefist ordered while grunted in pain. He turned and looked at Ciel, "What do you mean 'led you all down'? What are you planning, Ciel?"

Knew they will suspect her saying, Ciel sighed, "I'm gonna help and get Soki and Silverclaw turned to our sides."

"Wait?! What?!" Everyone asked in shock and concern.

"That is stupid," Baroness commented.

"You're joking, right? Right?" Laxtinct asked uneasily. Ciel remained firm and calm while ZeekCrimson gave a death glare to him. He yelped in concern, "Okay, you're not. We're so dead."

"Come on, Ciel. Those guys are Ultimates! They're the bad guys," Rainbow Dash said dryly.

Pinkie Pie hissed, "And not to mention, they're big meanies too."

Rarity hummed in concern, "I'm with Rainbow Dash. Those mutants will kill us. I doubt they will listen to our reasons."

"They're right. What makes you think you can change their minds, Dr. Ciel?" Scarlett asked in concern, "Most of mutants won't agree and help us."

"And not to mention, Mutants hate us," Dr, Mindbender reminded.

"No. Not these two," ZeekCrimson said calmly and firmly, "Soki and Silverclaw didn't follow Nezha Vengito's goals willingly, they were forced because of their family were captives."

"And that's not all," Ciel added in, "They don't hate the Humans. They helped and protect them for a long time."

"Okay, let's say we did rescue those 'hostages'. What happens next? You'd think those mutants gonna help us out?!" Ripcord asked frantically.

Zartan hummed, "Yeah. Those guys might run away and left us to get scrapped."

"They won't," ZeekCrimson said firmly and confidently. Everyone looked at him with question yet uneasy and concern looks. He continued, "I've known them and Starkiller for years since I began my career as the Ultimate before Nezha succeeded previous Chief. They can be trusted."

Everyone wasn't thrilled and unconvinced about the idea of getting two Ultimates defected and joined them as their allies, even though they able to rescue the hostages.

Aquastroke sighed, "Ciel and ZeekCrimson are right. We need lots of help to win this. The Ultimates are not easy to take down. You all saw how strong and powerful Nezha is."

"You sure, coach? I mean they are the bad guys?" Rainbow Dash asked in unconvinced tone. Her coach gave her the death glare. She then screamed in anger while pulling her hair, "Aw, come on! Don't you trust me?! I'm your student and protege! You can't just ignore me all the time!"

"I hate to admit it. This could be helpful." Duke said calmly and firmly.

Cobra Commander nodded, "Yes. With them on our side, it will even the odds. We might have the chance to win this war."

Blazefist sighed, "I hate to admit. We'll go through with it."

"Good to hear," Shorty Thinking said calmly as he stood besides with Ciel and ZeekCrimson, "I'm going with them."

"I'm coming too," Rarity said firmly. Shorty Thinking was about to interrupt. She put her finger on his mouth while giving him a stern glare, "Don't you dare say 'no', 'stay put, Rarity', 'it's too dangerous', 'I don't want to lose you' or 'pretty lady like me can't handle it'. When I said I'm coming, I really meant it! And that's final, Mr. Nerdy Boyfriend of mine!"

Everyone was in shock and stunned of what they just saw and heard especially Shorty Thinking.

"Okay." Shorty Thinking accepted. Everyone especially Rarity looked at him oddly. He was confused but annoyed, "What?! I said 'okay'."

"Well, in that case, I'll go with you, Shorty," Aquastroke said confidently, "You're gonna need some tough girl to help you."

"Me too!" Rainbow Dash joined in. Aquastroke was about to tell her. She interrupted, "I'm going! And Rarity needs me, so do you, coach. I'm not doing this for an apology. I'm helping my friend."

Aquastroke groaned, "Fine. Don't get in my way."

"You should bring Zartan and Storm Shadow to assist you," Cobra Commander said firmly, "They have many ways to persuade or kill the enemies, without alarming our enemies."

Storm Shadow nodded humbly as he put his mask on, "My brother should come and help us as well. In American Words of Expression - two ninjas are better than one."

Snake Eyes nodded while showing his thumbs up. He then gave a friendly fist bump to G.I. Joe as they all wished each other luck to survive and win.

"The rest of us will deal with Death Tactic and get Black Alpha," Blazefist said firmly, "And hopefully, we can try talk some sense to Soki and Silverclaw."

"Agreed. But we must remained alert and weary," Cobra Commander said firmly, "Grand Admiral Death Tactic must not be underestimated. He's expecting us."

Duke nodded, "Whatever traps and ambushes he has, he won't beat us down that easily."

Rainbow Dash smirked, "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Pinkie Pie cheered, "Let's do this. We're off to save the World!"

The team split up. Shorty Thinking took his team - Rarity, Ciel, ZeekCrimson, Aquastroke, Rainbow Dash, Zartan, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes - to find and rescue Soki's and Silverclaw's hostages.

Using lifts; Blazefist, Duke and Cobra Commander led the rest of their team - Pinkie Pie, Laxtinct, Scarlett, Baroness, Ripcord and Dr. Mindbender - defeating Death Tactic while getting and shutting down Black Alpha. Time is running out!

"I just hope I don't die," Laxtinct said fearfully, "I hate camp!"

"Shut up, Laxtinct!" Everyone shouted in anger and annoyance.





At the Laboratory Basement, three Ultimate Warriors were standing on the scaffold. Death Tactic remained calm and firm as he was overseeing the modification progress. Black Alpha's new body is almost complete. Both Soki and Silverclaw were there as his bodyguards, even though they really don't like being part of it.

The Ultimate Soldier came and climbed to top of scaffold. He approached, saluted and then reported to Death Tactic, who remained calm and firm as usual. The Grand Admiral turned to Soki, Silverclaw and the soldier.

"It is time. Prepare the welcoming committee. Our guests are coming."





The lifts continued descending; the Assault Team were almost to the basement. They all readied, loaded and armed their weapons and mutated powers. They were about to launch the assaults on Death Tactic and shutting down Black Alpha.

Upon reaching to the ground, the lifts opened in two. The Ultimate Soldiers gave a battle cries as they fired their Machine Guns, Gatling Guns, Pistols and Shotguns. Instead of shooting down their targets, they only hit the walls. They stopped at once. They marched in slowly and cautiously.

Suddenly, a group of small grenades dropped and rolled to the soldiers' feet. And just before they could react, the grenade activated as the gas emerged from it while blowing and covering the area. The Ultimate Soldiers coughed and wheezed heavily upon inhaling it too much.

Seeing their chances open, the Assault Team at once emerged out from their hideouts - lift's sides and ceiling. They all charged and engaged with the enemies.

Blazefist unleashed his Fire Fists in firing his Fireball Shots and punched his enemies off. Duke, Scarlett and Cobra Commander emerged and began firing and shooting their pistols at Ultimate Soldiers while covering each others' backs. Baroness and Ripcord fired their Twin Guns and Shotguns while covering Dr. Mindbender, who fired his electrical taser blasters at his targets. Laxtinct formed his Rock Armor while punching his Earth Fists at the enemies. Pinkie Pie fired her Party Canon at them fiercely and wildly.

After finishing the vanguards, the Assault Team looked up and found more Ultimate Soldiers standing before them. They were all armed with traditional but modernized lethal combated weapons. The Gatling Gunners and Turrets were armed and aimed at their targets as well. Soki and Silverclaw were leading them. Death Tactic and his armed scientists were at the laboratory's far end while very close to the large hanger's gate-like.

"Did someone jinx it again?!" Laxtinct demanded in annoyance. Everyone glared at him. He shrugged innocently, "What?! I was just asking. That's all."

Pinkie Pie hissed, "Guess it was too easy."

"Nothing is easy," Duke said dryly. He glared at Death Tactic, "I'm guessing that behind the big gate is where you keep the pirate's treasures?"

"What makes you say that?" Death Tactic asked sincerely and calmly.

Blazefist nodded while grunted in pain a bit, "You usually faced your enemies at the front than cowering in fear behind his troops'. You were setting plans and traps for us."

"Clever. Very clever. I've make necessary contingency preparations for you all." Death Tactic remarked. His eyes narrowed to firm yet angry looks, "I know your true targets. I foreseen it ever since you and your friends followed 'DeCobray Executives' for 'chat'. In reality, you and all of your nemeses were negotiating and making the alliance against the Ultimates."

"He knew we'd be coming here especially our surprise attacks on fortress," Cobra Commander said dryly and firmly, "This mutant is indeed intelligent and worthy adversary to deal with. We must be cautious of his strategies and plans."

Scarlett nodded in understanding, "Yeah. No telling what tricks he has stored for us."

"Either way, we must get the Black Alpha no matter the cost." Dr. Mindbender said firmly and sternly, "I might able to insert the virus into him, making him immobility."

Ripcord groaned while loaded his shotgun, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it."

"Don't worry, doctor. We will escort you to your targets," Baroness said firmly while armed her twin guns.

Pinkie Pie giggled as she pony-up and armed her Party Canon, "Yeah! We're gonna win this fight, whatever tricks and plans that blue guy has!"

"Hopefully, we don't get killed!" Laxtinct said in concern.

"You will not achieve your victory," Death Tactic said firmly, "Soki, Silverclaw, engaged the enemies now! Tear them to pieces!"

Blazefist grunted, "You don't have to do this, guys."

"Sorry, bub," Silverclaw said in regretted tone while armed his razor sharp claws, "We don't have much choice."

Soki unsheathed his giant blue broadsword, "Believe me. I don't want this either. We can't risk it for our family. Defeating you is the only way to ensure them safety."

"I guess we have no choice." Blazefist said in defeat. He muttered softly about his wife and others, "Aqua, Shorty, hurry. Find and get them here. I don't think this fight is going to be easy."

"Everyone, watch your six! This fight is gonna be tensed!" Duke ordered firmly.

Cobra Commander nodded, "No matter the costs, fight and survived this battle! All units, attack!"

The Assault Team gave a loud battle cry as they all charged into the battlefield. Soki and Silverclaw led theirs against them as well. When they gave a big clash, they began fighting with each other fiercely and determinedly. Death Tactic observed the battlefield while waiting to spring the traps on them at the right time.

Duke, Cobra Commander and Scarlett were shooting and combating with Silverclaw, who dodged swiftly while fighting back at them aggressively and wildly. Using both physically and spiritually powered sword; Soki battled with Laxtinct and Pinkie Pie, who dodged and blocked the attacks while fighting back. Two teams were tying and exhausting two Ultimate Warriors down while convincing them to join their sides.

Blazefist, Ripcord and Baroness were battling straight at their enemies while escorting Dr. Mindbender to the far end of laboratory.





A few soldiers were patrolling and guarding the prison cells. While Ultimate Soldiers were performing their duties; ZeekCrimson, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow dropped on the Ultimate Soldiers while attacking the latter swiftly and relentlessly.

With the area secured; Shorty Thinking, Rarity, Ciel, Aquastroke and Rainbow Dash arrived to the scenes. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow opened the chamber's door at once. However, they found a large group of Ultimate Soldiers aimed their guns at them. Before the soldiers could open fire, they all could electrocuted and shocked. Shorty Thinking and his Rescue Team found a sole soldier, who slowly virtually turned back to the smiling Zartan.

"That was easy. I love my job," Zartan said amusingly, "Shape-shifting and fooling morons are my game."

"Don't let your guard down," Storm Shadow said firmly. Snake Eyes nodded in agreement firmly. He continued, "There is no telling what we're facing and dealing with."

"I agreed. Watch out for Sushi Tsunami. She's near," ZeekCrimson said firmly and calmly.

Ciel hissed, "She's the most dangerous Ultimate Warrior to deal with. Don't underestimate her."

Rainbow Dash scoffed, "Let her come. I can handle it."

"If you can handle your ego first, Crash," Aquastroke said dryly. Rainbow Dash yelped in shock and upset. She continued, "Let's go. Time is wasting. We need to find and rescue hostages."

The Rescue Team marched inside while searching for hostages at once, Rainbow Dash and Rarity were behind them as two girls have some chats.

"Cheer up, darling. She'll forgive you," Rarity said in comfort.

Rainbow Dash sighed, "I hope so. I wish I shouldn't have said terrible things to her."

The Rescue Team continued marching through the prison cells while looking around and searching for two hostages from their surroundings. At the same time, they also have to dealt with the securities. And so far, they found deserters, prisoners of war and human criminals. For nearly half an hour of searching, they cam across the giant vault-like.

"This is it," Ciel said firmly and calmly.

"Stand back, everyone," Shorty Thinking commanded as he approached to the vault's control panel as he began hacking and typing on it, "The vault could have some security measures. I'm going to hack and access the control panel to shut down the traps and open it. This is going to take a while."

ZeekCrimson activated his saber as he thrust it on control panel, causing to go haywire and exploded to pieces. The vault's open at once. This shocked and annoyed Shorty Thinking.

"Or we can destroy it and open the vault," Shorty Thinking said dryly and annoyingly.

The Rescue Team turned and faced two children - one was a young 8-years-old boy with messy light greenish and cyan colored streaks of short hair worn the blue T-Shirt with white 'Superhero Silhouette', short gray and pair of slippers while another was a light yellow 13-years-old girl with light orange long hair worn black lethal jacket suit and pants.

"Minokichi! Streak! You two alright!"

"Ciel? ZeekCrimson? What are you doing here?" Minokichi asked in surprise.

Streak hissed at the Rescue Team, "Enemies!"

Streak have two razor claw emerged from her knuckles as she prepared to attack. The Rescue Team quickly moved back as they don't want to engage and hurt her. Both Ciel and ZeekCrismon moved to the front while formed a wall gesture.

"It's okay, kiddo. They're friends, not enemies," ZeekCrimson said calmly, "And further more, we're rescuing you and reuniting you with your family."

Ciel nodded, "Yes, they're with us. And we need you to help us."

"W-What can we do?" Minokichi asked uneasily, "We're not very good at fighting, sorry."

Streak hummed calmly and thoughtfully, "You need us to stop my father and his brother, aren't you? You're all rebelling against the Ultimate Army?"

"Yes, we are," Ciel admitted.

Streak scoffed, "It's about damn time. I'm sick of staying here or even helped that jerk for holding us hostages."

Minokichi nodded in understanding, "I'll try my best."

"Good, we'd better go now," Shorty Thinking said firmly, "I fear our friends are in danger. Let's move now! Time is wasting!"

"You're not going anywhere, fool!"

And just before anyone could ask and act, Zartan yelped and yelled in pain as he felt something stabbing him. Everyone turned to him as they found him being stabbed by Sushi Tsunami, who smiled gleefully and darkly. He lost so much blood, thus ending his life. She threw him to the walls hard.

Sushi Tsunami laughed evilly, "Who is next? You won't escape alive."

"Damn it! She's here!" ZeekCrimson snarled as he activated his saber while looked at his friends, "Go! Go now! I'll hold her off!"

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow unsheathed and armed with their katanas as they're assisting their allies and ready to fight with the enemy.

"You three can't handle her! I'll help!" Aquastroke said firmly.

"Me too!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she pony-up while armed with her Mystical Magic Spear. Her coach was about to say, but she interrupted, "I mean it! You two need help! I'm not afraid of her!"

Aquastroke groaned in anger, "Fine! Don't get cocky and die, Crash." She turned and looked at Shorty Thinking, "Get them to the Lab Basement now! Blazefist and others need help!"

Hate leaving his friends behind but knew he has no time to lose, Shorty Thinking nodded firmly as he led Ciel, Rarity, Minokichi and Streak quickly escaped the chamber. Seeing her enemies escaping, Sushi Tsunami launched her various water elastic tentacles of stopping and capturing them. But instead, she was blasted off and thrown by Aquastroke's Hydro Canon to the walls hard.

After Shorty Thinking's team escaped; Aquastroke, ZeekCrimson, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Rainbow Dash armed with their weapons and powers as they're ready to fight with Sushi Tsunami. The Ultimate Warrior slowly recovered and got up from the ground. Found some of her enemies escaped, she groaned in anger and disappointment. Nevertheless, she smiled amusingly and gleefully.

"No matter..." Sushi Tsunami said dryly yet amusingly, "You all will do for now especially this little girl you have, Aqua. She would be a good playmate for my 'fun' hobby. I can't wait to start that after defeating you all."

Rainbow Dash groaned as she armed Mystical Magic Spear, "We'll see, bitch! Get ready!"

Sensing Rainbow Dash was about to make her move, ZeekCrismon shouted, "Rainbow Dash, don't! No!"

Ignored the warning, Rainbow Dash charged in while thrusting her Mystical Magic Spear at Sushi Tsunami. The Ultimate Warrior dodged down while firing her Hydro Canon on the daredevil athlete, hitting her straight to the vault's door hard. She dropped to the ground hard.

Sushi Tsunami smirked darkly as her elastic water formed into scythes, "Who is next?"

ZeekCrimson snarled, "Be careful! She's tricky and dangerous!"

Looking at Snake Eyes's nodding, Storm Shadow nodded in understanding, "Together, Snake Eyes!"

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow charged in before jumped and slammed their katanas at Sushi Tsunami, who quickly blocked the attacks and deflect them off. Two ninjas recovered and landed on the ground. They both dashed in as they began relentlessly and determinedly attacking her. But with the power of water; she easily and swiftly blocked, slipped and dodged the attacks while aggressively strike back at them. Two ninjas struggled in overcoming and defeating her.

Exhausting her enemies, Sushi Tsunami trapped Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow with her Frozen Prison Shards. She was about to finish them off, but intercepted by Aquastroke's grip before got punched by her. Both of them battled with each other by fists and bladed weapons relentlessly and fiercely for few rounds. Despite giving her best and bruised her enemy, The Water Mutated Coach got injured and wounded by Ultimate Warrior's swift and quick slashing scythes on her body. Holding a grip of her enemy's hands, Sushi Tsunami firing her Hydro Canon on Aquastoke in slamming on both ninjas to the ground hard.

Seeing his allies in danger, ZeekCrimson jumped into the scene while striking his Zeek Saber at her. Sushi Tsunami quickly liquefied and escaped to his back. Forming her solid body, she jumped and kicked him to the ground, but not before she got hit by his Crimson Canon thrice. As she dropped to the ground hard, ZeekCrimson charged at Sushi Tsunami.

Seeing the attack incoming, Sushi Tsunami quickly form into liquid and escaped ZeekCrimson's attack. Turned into her solid form, she fired her Hail Storm at him. He quickly blocked and deflected the shards into pieces. After disposing the last shards, he found her charging at him. She began thrusting and striking her Ice Swords at him, who blocked and deflected the attacks, with his Zeek Saber. Both of them continued swinging their blades at each other fiercely and relentlessly.

While ZeekCrimson continued battling with Sushi Tsunami, Aquastroke helped both Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Three of them armed with their katanas and Tiger Claws. They charged in and assisted the Crimson Warrior to attack and finish the Ultimate Warrior off. Four of them fiercely attacked her but she swiftly and slippery dodged and blocked the attacks with her scythes. After few rounds of attacking, they exhausted and trapped her in circle.

Four of them then charged and finished her off. However, Sushi Tsunami screeched wildly as she has unleashed the power of her Tsunami Destroyer in washing them to the walls hard. She then trapped them with her watery tentacles while armed her scimitars aiming at them.

"Time to finish you off," Sushi Tsunami said darkly.

Suddenly, something flew and passed her by while struck on the ceiling. Her cheek then bleed from a small cut. This surprised and shocked her to release and drop her prisoners. She hissed in anger as she turned and found Rainbow Dash summoned her Mystical Magic Spear ready to fight.

"You want a fight? Here I am!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed confidently.

Sushi Tsunami smirked, "Very well. I've looking for it."

Aquastroke grunted in pain, "Rainbow... Don't..."

Rainbow Dash screamed as she charged at Sushi Tsunami, who launched her multiple watery tentacles in attacking her. Using her magic of speed, the athlete easily and quickly dodged and avoided the attacks while using her Mystical Magic Spear of charging and attacking the Ultimate Warrior on every corners for few rounds. Sushi Tsunami snarled and struggled in catching and taking her prey down. Rainbow Dash managed injuring and wounding her to drop her knees.

While Sushi Tsunami breathed heavily and make recovery, Rainbow Dash quickly dashed in to finish her off. Unfortunately, the Ultimate Warrior laughed evilly as she summoned the water covering the floor while launching a five nailed claw-like water straight out. The athlete slipped by the water before having her left side of chest impaled by the attack.

"Not bad... Not good enough..." Sushi Tsunami giggled amusingly.

Rainbow Dash groaned in pain, "Damn it!"

Finally captured her prey, Sushi Tsunami formed a noose around Rainbow Dash's neck as she began torturing on the young one - whipping, lashing, clawing, scarring, bruising and beating her up for few rounds. Rainbow Dash screamed in pain while spitted blood out. Sushi Tsunami laughed wickedly as she enjoyed the 'entertainment' very much. The Ultimate Warrior continued making the athlete suffering.

Seeing their friend tortured and beaten badly, Aquastroke and her team were in shock and pain as they struggled of standing up. Sushi Tsunami held and trapped Rainbow Dash in a tight grip.

"Giving up?" Sushi Tsunami demanded calmly. Rainbow Dash groaned before spitted blood on her face. Instead of anger, she licked the blood deliciously, "Why do you continued inevitable? You're going to die..."

Rainbow Dash groaned, "At least, I did it to protect coach. I'm just upset that I didn't get to say how much sorry I really am."

"Rainbow Dash..." Aquastroke said weakly.

Sushi Tsunami scoffed, "Well, don't worry, I'll send you both to hell!"

And just before Rainbow Dash could ask, Sushi Tsunami's tentacles engulfed her whole body in a large roundish of water. It began drowning her. The athlete screamed and struggled in pain as the water continued pouring on her by nose and mouth. She was suffocating to death.

Aquastroke gasped in shock, "Nooooooooooooo!" She screamed in anger as she got up at once while charging at Sushi Tsunami weakly. Upon reaching her enemy, she grabbed her by back while demanded in fierce tone, "Let her go! Now!"

Sushi Tsunami chuckled, "Stop me if you can. She is dying."

Stunned and shocked that her threat didn't work on Sushi Tsunami, Aquastroke watched horribly and painfully on Rainbow Dash was about to reach death. Realizing that she has one choice, she scream in anger as she twisted and broken the neck, causing her death. Both her protege and roundish container of water dropped to the ground.

"Rainbow Dash!" Aquastroke shouted in concern as she checked on Rainbow Dash. Her protege hasn't make a move. She was in shock and scared, "No! Don't! Don't die on me!"

Aquastroke quickly performed RCP on Rainbow Dash, hoping and determined to get the water out while saving her in time. Her friends stood aside and watched it. The mutant coach did her best. But no avail as her protege remained motionless and didn't breathe.

This shocked and scared her. She was now in pain and sad to cry and scream. Her three friends looked away in giving Aquastroke some space.

"No... No... Nooooooooooo! Rainbow Dash!"

Slammed a powerful punch on Rainbow Dash's chest, causing the protege yelped and spitted the water out. She then coughed and wheezed heavily. This shocked and surprised her friends especially Aquastroke.

"Rainbow Dash! You're alright!" Aquastroke cheered in tears of joy. She then grabbed and hugged her protege tightly, "I am so sorry, Rainbow Dash! Please, forgive me for not saying 'I forgive you'!"

Rainbow Dash groaned in pain, "Thanks, coach. But seriously! Hug! Pain! Me! Too much!"

"Oh! Sorry!" Aquastroke yelped and let painful Rainbow Dash off. She sighed in relief, "But really. I forgive you for harsh words. I should have trusted you to handle it. And of course, I'm sorry that I pressure you."

Rainbow Dash hissed and scoffed, "It's no big deal. But thanks, coach. I still need your teaching. We're pals and family."

Aquastroke nodded, "Yeah. Glad to hear it."

Both Aquastroke and Rainbow Dash hugged passionately and happily. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow looked at each other while smiling as being reminded by the past with Hard Master. ZeekCrimson remained calm and quiet of watching the event.





At Laboratory Basement, the Assault Team continued attacking and battling fiercely and determinedly against the enemies. However, the Ultimate Army were gaining the upper hand and winning the battle.

Silverclaw roared wildly as he aggressively attacked and struck his enemies, with his bare claws. Duke, Cobra Commander and Scarlett did their best in dodging and avoiding the attacks while firing their guns at him from distance. They even have to combat and defeat the Ultimate Soldiers one-by-one. However, the Ultimate Warrior's wounds slowly healed and continued attacking. Three of them struggled of surviving his attacks while defeating him, especially they have to deal with the soldiers.

Soki was covered in blackish-whitish spiritual aura-like as he engaged with Laxtinct, who was in Rock Armor. Both of them have a fierce fights by punching and kicking at each other. Pinkie Pie threw her explosive sprinkles while firing her Party Canon at the soldiers and their arsenal weapons - blinding and injuring them. And at the same time, she helped and blinded the Ultimate Warrior, giving her friend a chance to punch and knock him out. However, Soki won't budged and go down easily as he continued attacking them both.

Blazefist, Ripcord and Baroness were charging straight at Ultimate Army while escorting Dr. Mindbender to the far end of laboratory. However, they met the enemy's heavy resistance.

Death Tactic remained calm and firm as he gave orders to each different units of taking action and attacking his enemies down - such as first units charged and rammed their force-field modern shields against the team back, second units sniped their targets from high grounds, third and four units used advanced and strong armors defending the gate and five units armed with their missile launchers and explosive grenades. They were halting Blazefist's Team from marching.

Nevertheless, Blazefist's Team fought back fiercely. Dr. Mindbender gave his team the breathing masks while throwing the knockout gas grenades of covering them from taken shot and sniped by the enemies while suffocating their enemies. They fiercely charged and knocked Ultimate Army while Ripcord and Baroness swiftly taking out the snipers.

Seeing the first and second units have taken out, Death Tactic ordered the fifth unit launched their missile launchers and grenades while third and fourth units stand firm and defend the gate. Death Tactic joined in by sniping his snipe guns at the team. Attacked by the heavy artillery, Blazefist Team quickly activated and armed their shields in holding the attacks off. They then continued marching towards the gate firmly and quickly.

As Silverclaw was distracted in dealing with both Duke and Cobra Commander, Scarlett charged in while performing nerve pressure points on his back and legs. Thus, weakening his mobility. Three of them charged and began punching on him for few times. However, this only angered the Ultimate Warrior to roar and scream wildly. As they launched a powerful punches on him, he quickly launched his claws at them by guts. Three soldiers fell to the ground while screamed in pain of feeling the pain while Silverclaw remained standing.

After punching Laxtinct to the ground, Soki unsheathed his broadsword in ready to finish him off. Pinkie Pie jumped on him by back as she threw explosive sprinkles on his face, causing him to go blind and crazy of swinging his sword. She then pulled his hair out while nudged her elbow against his shoulder and head hard. The earth mutant recovered and got up as he fired his Stone Gatling at Soki, injuring and bruising him a lot. Soki screamed wildly as he unleashed Spiritual Shock Wave in knocking them both out at once.

Blazefist's Team was almost reaching their destination, however more units were still halting and blocking their ways. This forced them to hold their position against the enemies.

"Surrender now, will you still can," Death Tactic demanded firmly, "You cannot win! Your Assault Team is failing!"

Blazefist groaned in anger, "Even so, we're not giving up without the fight, Admiral! And you should know that!"

"Pitiful," Death Tactic said in disappointment, "You all would have been a great asset to the cause. Execute them now!"

Heard the command, the Ultimate Soldiers were readying their weapons to finish their prisoners off. Soki and Silverclaw were in shock yet angered and upset, but they have no choice but to obey. They don't like it.

"I'd never though we could end like this," Cobra Commander said in pain and defeat. He turned and looked at both Duke and Scarlett, "I'm glad to be with you."

Scarlett nodded happily, "Me too, Rex. Me too..."

Duke groaned, "Yeah. To be honest, you would have make a good guy than bad guy."

Laxtinct and Pinkie Pie looked at both Soki and Silverclaw. They have to make one last attempt to change their enemies' minds and sided with them.

"Dudes... Don't..." Laxtinct pleaded painfully, "Don't do this, man. Yours pals wouldn't want this. You know it's wrong..."

Pinkie Pie coughed heavily, "Yeah. You don't have to follow them. You make your own decision. You can be heroes, not monsters..."

Silverclaw and Soki were hesitated while giving in second thoughts from executing the prisoners. They really don't want to fight and kill the humans. This make them to have heartache and pain about it.

"Do it now! That's an order." Death Tactic ordered firmly, "Do you want them died?!"

Realizing that their allies are in danger, both Silverclaw and Soki quickly raised their blades up and readied to execute them. And just when they did, their attempts were blocked by a familiar force-field diamond shapes while they got shot and moved away.

Everyone turned to the front entrance as they found Rarity, Shorty Thinking, Ciel, Minokichi and Streak standing before them. Soki and Silverclaw were surprised yet relieved and happy in seeing two young ones alive and saved.

Ciel sighed firmly, "As promised, they're freed!"

"You don't have to do this!" Minokichi and Streak pleaded, "Kick their asses!"

Rarity nodded, "Indeed. No one will force you to do this again."

"So, who's your real enemies now?" Shorty Thinking asked calmly, "It's definitely not us."

Soki and Silverclaw turned and looked at each other for thoughts. They both smirked proudly as they turned and glared at the Ultimate Soldiers. Most of them were afraid and scared. Some remained firm and strong. Others were concern while having second thoughts.

"Soldiers! It's time to change sides!" Soki ordered proudly.

Silverclaw nodded, "Yeah! We choose our own! And I'd say Nezha and his assholes can go to hell! Who's with me now?!"

Feeling two Ultimate Warriors' rally, some of soldiers cheered wildly and joined their sides. A few quickly screamed and ran away in fear. Others remained firm and strong as they refused to move and stand besides with Grand Admiral.

"Time to finish this!" Soki and Silverclaw cried wildly, "Charge!"

As orders have been given, two Ultimate Warriors led the defectors charging and attacking Grand Admiral's remaining troops. Soki charged at third and fourth units as he punched and knocked them hard aside. Using his agility and speed, Silverclaw charged and jumped high from one scaffold to another as he surprised and killed fifth units. Shorty Thinking and his team came and helped their friends up as they joined the defectors to fight and defeat their enemies.

Seeing the chance, Blazefist's team broke off the position. Dr. Minbender arrived to the gate's control panel for hacking and opening it while Baroness and Ripcord covered him. The rest of their allies have come and assisted them.

Blazefist climbed up the ladders as he was reaching to top of scaffold, where he summoned and used his Falcon Spear in knocking scientists and soldiers out. He turned and aimed his weapon at Death Tactic.

"It's over, Death Tactic! We have you and Black Alpha!" Blazefist said firmly.

"Is that so?" Death Tactic asked calmly. He scoffed, "You are too late..."

And just Blazefist was about thrust his spear, Death Tactic's eyes glowed in red. The Grand Admiral disappeared in teleportation ability. The Leader of Dragon Strike Force groaned in defeat and upset as he almost had his target.

Dr. Mindbender finished hacking the control panel as the gate opened in two. Blazefist and his team turned and faced to the hanger. They all gasped in shock. They found it empty. No sign of Black Alpha at all!

"What the?!" Duke asked in shock, "Where is he?!"

"He couldn't have disappeared!" Cobra Commander said in shock.

Soki hissed in anger, "No! He's supposed to be here! Death Tactic couldn't have fueled Black Alpha that quick! He just finished modifying him!"

"Or maybe... He knew he's gonna lose this fight and make the escape!" Silverclaw said in realization, "Damn that smartass!"

Blazefist hissed in anger, "We failed..."

"Not entirely..." Shorty Thinking said calmly. Everyone looked at him. He continued while looking at both Soki and Silverclaw reunited and have the moment with Minokichi and Streaks, "We helped reunite the family. We've gained new allies. We have the chance to turn the tide especially turn the enemy troops as our allies."

"He's right. It's worth it," Rarity said happily.

Soki turned to his former enemies and bowed before them, "Thank you. Our family is safe. We're in your debt, my new allies."

"Yeah. Buddies?" Silverclaw asked awkwardly.

"Buddies!" Pinkie cheered as she held and hugged both Soki and Silverclaw tightly and happily, "This is awesome! We've got new buddies!"

Rarity sighed while shaking her head amusingly, "Oh, Pinkie Pie..."

Laxtinct sighed, "Yeah! Glad we didn't get killed. I really hate camp."

"What's next?" Scarlett asked in concern.

Blazefist sighed, "If I guess correctly, Death Tactic and Black Alpha are at the main hanger. They're probably fueling the Artificial Energon into him now. They're also waiting for him to come."

"That means we still have the chance to stop it," Duke said firmly.

Cobra Commander nodded in agreement, "Then, we make a move now!"

"We'd better Aqua and her team know," Shorty Thinking said firmly as he make contact with Aquastroke's, "Aqua! Come in!"

"I'm here! We're okay! I've finished Tsunami off," Aquastroke said weakly.

Shorty Thinking nodded, "Okay. Meet us at the main hanger! The enemies still have Black Alpha. We don't have much time now."

"Okay," Aquastroke said in understanding, "Be careful, guys."

Blazefist sighed, "Let's move it! Time is running out!"

"YEAH!" Everyone cheered.

Blazefist's team quickly headed to the lifts now. They're now heading to the main hanger for a final battle with the Ultimate Warriors while getting Black Alpha while they have the chance. They can't waste their time now!
