Mephilas placed his hands on the ground to stop himself from skidding further back. Both Dimentio and Sakuya returned to his side as Desmond walked out of the ruined building with his party behind him.
"You put up quite a fight there kiddo," said Mephilas catching his breath.
"I should say the same for you," said Desmond. Mephilas was about to say something when a catchy jingle began to play.
"What the hell?" asked Asriel. Mephilas tapped on the earpiece and began talking into it.
"Mephilas here," There was a short pause before he continued in a surprised tone. "What go back to the meeting spot?" Sakuya and Dimentio looked at him with curiosity. "I understand, very well we shall head back at once, have the Halberd be ready to pick us up," he said. He looked towards Desmond and smirked. 'Well unfortunately we would've loved to continue beating you into a pulp but you got lucky this time, we have other business to take care of so until next time," He turned to Dimentio and Sakuya. "Let's go, back to the plaza," The two nodded as they followed after Mephilas.
"Hey get back here!" Illya ordered as she ran after them.
"Let's go," said Desmond as they followed after Illya.
Prowler jumped back to avoid Lucina's attack and onto a badly damaged fountain.
'Give it up Prowler you're outnumbered," said Asgore.
"Not a chance, not until I complete my mission," said Prowler. That's when his earpiece began beeping. He put his claws on the earpiece and began to speak. "This is Prowler speaking," He froze. "Return to the meeting spot?" "But why?" he asked. There was a short pause before he continued. "But I haven't captured the professor yet," There was another short pause. "I understand, I'll return at once," He removed his claws from his earpiece. "You got lucky this time you rats, but this isn't the last time you'll see me," He jumped off the fountain and began running in one direction.
"Hey stop!" ordered Asgore.
"Marisa go after him," said Reimu.
"On it," said Marisa as she took off.
"We should go too," said Lucina. She helped up Asgore and the party began following after Prowler.
Mephilas, Dimentio, and Sakuya continued to make their way to the plaza with Illya high on their heels.
"Damn girl," cursed Mephilas.
"Forget about her, we have to get back to the Halberd," said Dimentio. The three eventually reached the plaza and quickly ran to the center.
"We made it," said Mephilas.
"But the Halberd isn't here," said Sakuya. Suddenly the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from another direction. The three looked over to see Prowler running out from one of the streets.
"Prowler you made it," said Dimentio.
"I don't what this emergency is but I haven't been able to capture the professor," said Prowler.
"Neither have us," said Sakuya. Suddenly the sound of footsteps began approaching as Desmond and his party ran out of the streets, still in pursuit of Mephilas, Dimentio, and Sakuya.
"Stop!" Desmond ordered.
"You were followed?" asked Prowler.
"I bet you were too," said Mephilas. Prowler turned around as Marisa flew out from the alleyway.
"Stay where you are!" Marisa ordered.
"Damn," cursed Sakuya. Soon Asgore and his party appeared running after Marisa and Prowler.
"We've got you now!" said Reimu.
"Where's the Halberd?" grumbled Prowler.
"Reimu, is that you?" asked Lilith.
"Yeah, looks like you guys found Strange and Owens," said Reimu.
"And you've got Alphys with you too," said Spike.
"Ahem guys, I know you're happy to see each other again, but can we refocus on U.S.E?" asked Desmond.
"Oh right," said Alphys. They all quickly turned their attention towards the four in the center.
"Damn," cursed Mephilas.
"You've been cornered give it up," said Asriel. Mephilas bit his lip nervously as the two parties closed in on the four.
"Surrender now!" ordered Lucina. As the four were pushed back closer to the center a loud humming echoed throughout the plaza.
"What is that!?" yelped Illya. That's when a large battle cruiser appeared over their heads. The group looked up as a large battleship hovered over their heads. A large grey mask was attached to the bow of the ship and a large cannon was hanging underneath the bow. The sides of the ship was covered with large cannons and two large bat wings were attached on the back of the ship. A large cannon sat on top of the ship along with a tower like cockpit.
"What the hell is that!?" asked Marisa.
"Finally!" said Dimentio. The battleship hovered over them and came to a stop. One of the hatches on the bottom slid open as a tractor beam shined down on the four.
"Haha, tough luck folks but we're outta here!" laughed Mephilas.
"Hey stop!" exclaimed Desmond. But before anyone could catch them, the four were immediately pulled into the battleship. The two parties ran towards the center but the hatch closed and a loud humming could be heard as the engines whirred to life.
"Oh no, at this rate their going to escape," said Spike.
'Wait, Marisa, do you think you can fly up there?" asked Alphys.
"Yeah why?" asked Marisa.
"I want you to go up there and put this on," said Alphys handing her a small blue chip with a flashing red light.
"What's that?" asked Strange.
"It's a tracking device I developed," answered Alphys. "Once it's on there we should be able to follow them,"
"Got it," said Marisa taking the chip from her hand. They watched as Marisa flew up to the battleship. Once she was underneath the ship she attached the chip as the red light began flashing. She quickly flew down and rejoined the others. Alphys pulled out a small tablet and turned it on. On the screen was the U.S.E. logo and a small green triangle.
"The green triangle is us," said Alphys. The battleship roared to life as it took off in one direction.
"Come on, let's go back to the bunker, we still have some things to discuss," said Desmond. Everyone nodded as they began walking back to the abandoned house.
Mephilas, Dimentio, Sakuya, and Prowler were greeted by the Koopalings, Loki, Kamoshida, Remilia, Jevil, Marx, Clownpiece, Beppi, Malty, Tempest, and Bowser as they got off the platform.
"It's about time you came," said Prowler.
"You can blame Zenith for that," said Bowser.
"Where were you guys anyway?" asked Dimentio.
"Leaving Zenith, Dracula, and Adele at our next destination," explained Tempest. "You know Dracula's castle is far from this place.
"And the soldiers?" asked Sakuya.
"We've issued an order telling them to leave behind everything and return to Dracula's castle," said Malty.
"Hmph, I was so close to getting my hands on the professor," said Prowler.
"It can't be helped, an emergency is an emergency," said Bowser.
"And what exactly is this emergency?" asked Mephilas.
"It's Adele's sister," answered Loki. "She's been spotted near the castle with some others one of which is rumored to be a resistance movement member,"
"So there's still some members walking around eh?" asked Mephilas.
"Zenith will explain everything when we get there," said Bowser. "For now just rest up," He began walking off with the others leaving the four behind. They all looked at each other and shrugged as they followed after Bowser. The battleship Halberd flew through the skies as it made it's way to Dracula's castle.
