//------------------------------// // Infiltration // Story: Adventures in the Bermikun Triangle // by Rakoon1 //------------------------------// Somewhere in the Sea of Beru, something was found: an hexahedron with a hidden side located inside, something that Skullivar was looking for so long. Seeing an image of it, he said: “Finally… the Heptahedron.” The Chaos was sailing peacefully in Beru and, at that moment, Mallet was playing chess with Star with a set they had bought in Marituga. Star was teaching Mallet how to play for some time and now they were playing a game for real. But it would appear the young Mighty Helmet warrior was having a great difficulty. While waiting for Mallet’s turn, Star went to gather natural energy, getting in sage mode. Meanwhile, Clover, who was watching the game, started waving his forelegs like wings, as if telling Mallet to use the pegasus. “You know, Mallet, Clover is right” Star replied, without opening his eyes. “Play your pegasus. You do know how, right?” Mallet tried to remember how to do it, when Dusk slided through the taffrail and landed in a show off pose on the deck, hoping to have caused an impression on the others, asking: “What do you think of this captain pose?” But Mallet and Clover only shushed him, focusing on the game. Because of that, Dusk turned to the Chaos and told him: “Chaos, the Plank!” The ship grunted and released the Plank that went to Dusk who said: “Dusk to Dusk, full steam ahead!” However, when he was to jump onto it, the Plank just hit him and caused him to drop the barrel where the chess set was. That caused the others to turn on him and then Mallet said: “Mallet was winning the battle of the little pieces!” “Technically, you were not” Star replied to him. “And don’t be mad on Dusk, as that’s not him.” And in fact there was some static and Opal appeared, having a device on her chest. That let Mallet and Clover a little confused as Dusk appeared beside them and then helped Opal get up, with her saying: “It still needs a little adjustments.” “Your holoprojector is awesome, Opal!” Dusk said. “They all fell for it! Well, except for Star…” “My sage mode allow me to read energies” Star replied. “As long it is activated, you can’t fool me like that. However, I have to say it was really convincing. You got Dusk’s posture quite right. That is, until you tried to ride the Plank. No gadget can help you…” But it was then that his sage mode captured something, what was causing a great headache to him. “Star, are you okay?” Dusk asked. It was then that he started having a vision of Golden Bones taking the heptahedron. Releasing his sage mode, while falling on his knees, Star said: “The Heptahedron of the Triangle… An ancient relic and terrible weapon capable of shattering the boundaries of dimensions. It was created by Bright Light and hidden in the Sea of Beru. For what I’ve read, it was lost for centuries. Bones… Bones just found it!” The Demoniac was crossing the Sea of Beru until they found and passed through a vortex to get to the Sea of Vapir. It was not too long for Chaos to arrive there as well. “We’re too late” Opal said, with the others beside the helm that was being handled by Dusk. “They have already crossed into Vapir. Bones will retrieve the Heptahedron to his master.” “This be bad news, champs” Calabrass said. “Skullivar will use it to bring fire to the ice sea of Sino, dry up the Sea of Beru… He’ll forever disrupt the balance of the Seven Seas, using a weapon created to defeat any evil that would come to the Triangle.” “The Heptahedron is protected by powerful runes” Star told. “For what I’ve read, Bright Night wanted her to be the sole user of the Heptahedron to prevent it for being used wrongly. But knowing Skullivar as we do, I bet he knows how to bypass that protection. However, it will take him time to do break those seals.” “Looks like we have time to get the hepta… whatever it is called, away from them” Dusk said. “Let’s set sail.” “You want to attack Netherwhere?” Clover asked, sitting on his place at the top of the mast. “That’s so Mighty Helmet!” Mallet shouted, holding his sword. “Let’s!” “Dusk, nopony has ever entered Skullivar’s sanctuary and lived” Opal said. “It’s the most protected place in the Triangle.” “Well, there’s a first time to everything” Dusk replied. “I hope…” And so the Chaos crossed the vortex, getting into Vapir, the Sea of Darkness, a sea with dark waters and a green sky and a thick green fog. Floating around, there were many islands of rock and apparent scrap metals. While crossing Vapir, Opal told: “The Vapir islands are ghost echoes that disrupts signals.” “Wow, this place is so wierdo cool!” Dusk admired. “The good news is that we’re invisible to radar” Opal said. “The bad news is that there’s a lot of skeleton patrols.” “Netherwhere is filled with Skullivar’s most elite troups” Star continued. “Even if we managed to get inside, we cannot possibly defeat all of them.” “But that’s why we have Opal” Dusk said. “Me? Against the elite troups?” Opal asked. “Perhaps you didn’t notice, but I’m not exactly a warrior like the rest of you.” “No, but you’re a super tinker” Dusk replied. “And I got a super plan. You should make more of those.” And he pointed to the holoprojector. At the Netherwhere, Golden Bones delivered the Heptahedron to Skullivar who used his telekinetic abilities to bring it to himself, saying then, while placing it in a kind of an altar: “I will need complete concentration to break Bright Night’s runes. At no pretext I should be disturbed.” The Chaos was hidden, waiting for a patrol to appear and then a tank and a waverunner passed by them. “Skeletons ahoy!” Clover shouted. Seeing their target and to, Dusk said: “Okay, everypony take positions. Star, Mallet, ready to attack. Opal, scramble communications.” “Communications…” she said, while using her device. “…scrambled.” With everything ready, Dusk made the Chaos advance. Reaching the waverunner, Mallet, going at the turbines, knocks the skeleton riding it, causing it to crash on one of the scrap islands. Having noticed that, the tank increased its speed. “They are trying to get away!” Clover shouted. “Hurry!” Dusk went to the Plank and then said to Mallet, who had returned to the deck: “Mallet, let’s get our new ride. Chaos, Plank!” The Chaos shot the Plank, with Mallet going and hanging himself with his hoof on it. They advanced towards the tank and Mallet throw himself to the back of the tank, knocking off the skeletons there. “Ragnasala!” he said. “You call this troops elite? That made Mallet sad?” “Those ones, no, but these ones, yes” Dusk said, pointing and going to take Calabrass, as more skeletons appeared at the back of the tank that looked different than the others. “Calabrass, give the Eye of Sino.” And he and Calabrass transformed, while Mallet found himself knocked back by the skeletons. Fortunately, Calabrass froze one of them, what distracted the other, allowing Mallet to break the frozen one and punch the other. However, that was not enough to defeat the skeleton. When it advanced towards Mallet, Dusk exclaimed: “Sino Storm!” He shot another blast and froze the skeleton, allowing Mallet to knock him away as well. After that was done, Dusk went to the cop pit, opened it, and faced the skeleton. After dealing with him, Dusk brought back the tank to the Chaos, while the Plank returned to its place. On top of it, Dusk and Mallet bumped hooves, while the former exclaimed: “Success! Opal, are you ready?” “Opal is gone” Clover said, appearing with what appeared to be two skeletons. “And I’m being attacked by those mean and nasty little skeletons. Save me!” For a moment, Dusk really thought those were skeletons, but after seeing their performance he realized what was happening. Smiling, he said: “Good one! You almost had me. As long we don’t have to rely on Clover’s acting skills, everyone will think we’re real skeletons.” Star returned to normal, with his alogenerator causing some static. “Ah, are the fireworks part of the show?” he asked, while trying to endure it. “I know, I know…” Opal said, while returning to normal as well. “I told Dusk I needed more time to adjust these holoprojectors so they won’t…” But he didn’t finish as Star was able to feel Skullivar meddling with Bright Night’s runes. Even without his sage mode he was able to feel it, probably because of the recent connection that was still persisting. “I can feel Skullivar…” he said. “He’s manipulating the runes. The barriers are close to breaking.” With a flap of wings, Star went to the tank. “All right, who’s ready for the breaking in of the century?” Dusk asked. “Clover, cover us.” “Consider yourselves covered” he replied. “Good luck, gentlecolts” Opal said, while passing the holoprojector she was using to Dusk. After receiving it, Dusk told her: “You better wish yourself luck too, Opal. You’re coming with us.” “Wait, me?” she asked. “Coming? With you? Oh no…” And she also embarked with his friends in the tank which they programmed to return to Netherwhere. During the drive, Opal said: “Dusk, I don’t know I’ll be efficient on the field. I may have my weapon, but it is more for self-defense and it doesn’t really work much on the skeletons.” “But you got your brains” Dusk replied. “You’re the only one who can guide us through Netherwhere.” And she sighed, knowing that, in a way, he was right. At his room, Skullivar was still trying to deal with the runes. It was then that he was able to solve the first part, unlocking one of the sides, which activated with the symbol of Blazz. A torrent of fire was released from it and raised into the air, even out of the Netherwhere. Star was able to sense that and exclaimed: “Fire! Skullivar has already unlocked one side of the heptahedron!” “He codfish!” Calabrass shouted. “The barriers between dimensions are weakening!” As the tank approached Netherwhere, they were detected by the central command room and the skeleton which detected them called through the radio: “Patrol four, report. Coming in, Rusty.” It was then that Opal, trying to disguise her voice, replied: “Alfa Patrol Four reporting. Immediate landing. Access requesting.” “Enter your identification code” the skeleton requested. Opal was using her device and was preparing to send the code. “Here goes nothing” she said. “Cross your hooves.” And she sent the code and the skeleton said: “Access… granted.” “That worked?” Dusk asked, a little surprised his plan had actually gone as planned. “Wow!” Going by one of the sides, the tank advanced towards the front entrance of the Netherwhere which opened, granting them access. However, Opal had been dropped at the junction of one of the legs to connect herself to the system of the Netherwhere. “Okay, I’m in the system” she said, through her device. “But are you sure I’ll be okay here?” “Opal, it’s me” Dusk replied to her. “Did I ever steered you wrong?” “Well, we are still stuck in the Bermikun Triangle” Opal grunted. Skullivar was then able to unlock another side, with another side shining and causing the symbol of Zite to appear. A burst of stars came out of it, while Skullivar laughed, while he grabbed the dust released by the stars with his hands twice, before it returned to the Heptahedron. Star was able to sense that and he said: “No! The stars burned out in Zite!” He felt a wave of weakness, being supported by Mallet. “Maybe it’s better you get back to the Chaos, Star” Dusk told to his brother. “Your connection to the Heptahedron can let you vulnerable. We got this.” “No way, I’m coming with you” Star replied, while recovering his stand and activating his holoprojector. “Bright Night created the Heptahedron so it could be used for a greater good and made sure no evil would get hold of it. I intend to make sure her wishes are honored.” Motivated by his words, Dusk and Mallet also activated theirs as the tank reached its destination. Golden Bones got in the central of communications and the skeleton that had contacted the Sea Raiders told him: “General, Patrol Four has returned, but without their rafts.” He pointed to the video that showed Dusk, Mallet and Star getting out of the tank in their disguised forms. “Send out waverunners and find those fools” Golden Bones ordered. “And, whatever you do, do not disturb Skullivar.” With that, Golden Bones exited. At her place, Opal noticed the position of her friends and then said. “Dusk, you’re heading towards those skeletons.” “Exactly” Dusk said, while he, Star and Mallet advanced, talking to Opal through the auricular she gave him. “Because your holodisguises are perfect.” One of the skeletons approached them and send them to stop, telling them: “Return to your hover. General Bones wants to find the missing rafts.” “Uh, that’s a negative” Dusk replied. “I have to report to Skullivar immediately.” “Nega…” the skeleton started. “What’s your code and regiment number, soldier?” “Code and regiment number?” Dusk repeated. “Easy.” Whispering, Dusk directed to Opal: “Help me here, Opal.” But when Opal was dealing with that, she noticed two waverunners approaching, so she jumped to get out of their sight, but that caused her to lose focus of her magic and drop her device, which fell deep down. “Oh no… This is not good…” “Hey, Opal, I need those numbers now… as in right now!” “But what code is that?” the skeleton asked, as the others approached. “Give me a proper code or else…” And they positioned themselves in a very threatning way. “Well, then, I guess I’ll have to ask for… else?” Dusk said. “Code and regiment number or you will be pulverized” the skeleton demanded again. “Relax…” Dusk said, trying to solve that predicament. “I’m a skeleton, you’re a skeleton. We’re all skeletons here. What we need codes for? Now, if you were to say you’re looking for a nice warm sweater I could…” But he didn’t finish, as static started being released and that perturbed Calabrass disguise as a normal saber, with him also saying: “Aww, my eyes!” That caused the skeleton to point his saver and ask: “What’s going on here?!” Mallet approached him and said: “Mallet’ll explain.” He then attacked the skeleton, breaking him apart. But one of the other skeletons went to press a button that sounded the alarm, causing more skeletons to approach. “Switching to plan b” Dusk said, but changed after seeing more skeletons coming. “Make it plan c.” Where Opal was, she was trying to get down, doing it carefully so she wouldn’t slip. However, she ended up doing it. Fortunately, she was able to hold on tight and then she noticed her device. The others were fighting the skeletons that were there. Dusk was fighting one of those skeletons he had faced with Mallet that seemed to be bigger than him. “You’re pretty big for a bone clone” he commented. But it was then that the skeleton disarmed him, with the saber getting with his blade stuck on the floor, but revealing its real form as Calabrass, who commented: “Big, but brainless.” “What’s this?” he asked, approaching Calabrass. “You don’t recognize me?” Calabrass asked. “A talking sword? Seven stones of an immeasurable power?” “Calabrass?!” the skeleton asked. “Bingo!” Dusk replied, while sliding to get Calabrass back and then making some blows that caused him to break apart. “And his best bud… Dusk Storm.” Mallet was able to knock out one skeleton, but then another shot at him and hit the holoprojector, causing his real form to be revealed, much to the skeleton’s shock. “Mallet felt cramp” Mallet said. The skeleton tried to shoot him again, but Star said: “Not so fast!” And he shot a beam against him, making it look like it was from a weapon, thus breaking him apart. After all the skeletons were broken apart, Dusk turned to Mallet and asked him: “Dude, ever you heard of subtlety?” Meanwhile, Opal, despite barely, was able to get her device back and she went to contact Dusk, who was with Star and Mallet running through the halls of the Netherwhere. “Dusk, I’m back! I had a little technical problem, but are you okay?” she asked. “Mallet has lost his disguise and the alarm has been set off” Star told her. “I can deactivate the alarm, but there are skeletons between you and the Heptahedron” Opal said, as her friends stopped. “You’re surrounded!” “But, Opal, your holoprojector can make me look like anyone, right?” Dusk asked. “Let’s try plan d.” Touching the holoprojector, Dusk became Golden Bones and said: “The skeletons will be sure to let us pass.” And then, imitating Bones’ voice, Dusk said to Mallet: “Keep stepping Mighty Helmet. I’m taking you into a cell. Understand?” “Mallet never surrounders!” he replied to him. “Mallet, it is a trick” Star told him, thinking he wasn’t understanding. “Yes, and Mallet good actor” he replied to him. With Dusk pointing him Calabrass (who was the hook) to Mallet from behind, they advanced until they crossed with some skeletons. “General Bones…” one of them said, while signing with his head. “Bow lower” Dusk ordered, trying to be as mean and prideful as the real Golden Bones. Doing just that, the skeleton said: “General Bones, intruders have infiltrated Netherwhere…” But Dusk hit his head with hook and told him: “You boneheads! I captured the intruder. Obvious, isn’t it?” “Of course, General Bones” the skeleton replied. “My apologies.” He, turned to the other skeletons, told them: “Squad, escort the general and his prisoner to the brigue.” They then started moving. At the central of communications, the skeleton said to the real General Bones: “Debris of the patrol were found around the base, general.” “And what was that alarm about?” Bones asked. “A technical problem with a squad bringing up a prisoner with a strange helmet” he replied. “A strange helmet…” Bones said, curious, wondering if that was who he thought it was, advancing. “Affirmative, with a strange helmet” the skeleton confirmed. “A Mighty Helm warrior… in Netherwhere…” Bones said. “Then Dusk Storm can’t be far away. I want a complete lock down. Now! Double the patrols! I want to speak with this prisoner.” Dusk and the others continued to follow the other skeletons when Star, suddenly, felt an immense pain, as a stormy wind hit them all. That happened because Skullivar was able to break another rune, the one on the face corresponding to the Sea of Aeria. “Only three sides remain, Dusk” Star told to his brother. “We’re not going to make it in time.” “We will” he replied. “We have to. Opal, how far away are we?” “Well, you’re going in the wrong direction, so I guess pretty far” she said. “We have to get rid of these annoying skullheads” Dusk told Mallet. “Mallet has plan d too” he replied. “Destroy them!” “No, Mallet, we can’t draw attention or…” Star told. But he was interrupted by an unexpected arrival. “What’s going on here?!” It was the real Golden Bones. “General Bones?!” a skeleton said. The skeletons looked around, confused to know which one was their general. Taking a quick action to make sure his plan worked out, Golden Bones said to the skeletons: “Isn’t it obvious? He is an imposter. Get rid of him.” “You really think you can fool my troops, Storm?!” Golden Bones asked, who could see through Dusk’s façade. “My troops” Dusk corrected. “My elite troops. Impossible to fool. The real Bones here is me!” However, at that moment, Dusk touched the hologram and the holoprojector started working badly, causing Dusk to change between forms. “Ah, Opal…” “It’s not my fault” she told him. “But then again, who touches in an hologram?” Returning to his real form, Dusk said: “Okay, we’ll improvise.” And he threw the holoprojector which caused the hologram of a ptero to appear, what terrified the skeletons. But Golden Bones didn’t get impressed and commanded: “Arrest Dusk Storm!” “Plan e: escape!” Dusk said to his friends. And they started to run. “After them, fools!” Golden Bones shouted. The pirates did that, passing through the hologram. Bones, while following them, crushed the holoprojector, causing the hologram ptero to disappear. While running, Dusk asked, getting to a fork: “Opal, which way?” “Try right…” Opal replied. “No, go left!” And so they did it, all while being pursued by the skeletons. Accompanying her friends through her device, Opal saw them going through the way she wanted. “Yes… Yes…” “Opal, it’s to crowd here” Star said. It was then that a door closed behind them, preventing the skeletons from following them. “Yes!” Opal shouted. With that, Dusk, Star and Mallet continued their way, more relieved now. Arriving to the closed door, Golden Bones hit with his hook with frustration on the wall and ordered: “Open this door! And send a squad to hoof bridge 5. I’ll corner them!” Skullivar continued to deal with the Heptahedron, causing another side to be unlocked, causing a burst of yellow light to happen. Star sensed that and exclaimed, while leaning against the wall: “No! Skullivar had just folded Dezer into Sino. Soon he will control all of the Seven Seas.” It was then that they found themselves cornered and Golden Bones appeared, laughing and saying while approaching: “You have no chance. Surrunder.” “No chance?” Dusk asked. “Those are my kind of odds.” “Opal, where do we go?” Star asked. “I can’t find an exit” she told them. “You’re trapped!” Hearing that, Dusk took Calabrass, while Star nullified his hologram. “Farewell, boy” Golden Bones said. “It wasn’t a pleasure.” “Okay, think… think… think…” Dusk said, while looking around. At that moment, Dusk found what could be a possible exit. “Squad…” Golden Bones started. “Wait!” Dusk exclaimed. “Can I just say one last thing?” “Another bad joke?” Golden Bones asked. “No, just a letter: c” Dusk said, approaching a certain point a wall. “C as in…” And he gave a kick into a panel on the wall, revealing a hidden slide, and then said: “See you later!” And he jumped through the slide and Star and Mallet followed him. While they were sliding, Opal warned them: “Dusk, you’re in the energy capacitor. It’s filled with lasers that supply the base with power. Get away from there fast!” Golden Bones was at the entrance of the slide and just replied: “See you later indeed.” Dusk and the others soon found the lasers, doing their best to evade them. While doing it, Dusk told Opal: “Opal, stop the program before we’re all fried!” “Stopping the program is not like jumping into a trap” she replied, while trying to do that. “It takes time!” They arrived to another part of the energy capacitor, with more lasers being shot at them. But then their space started to get smaller and Dusk said: “Opal?” It looked like they would be either vaporized by lasers or crushed by the walls and they screamed before that idea. However, just like that, all the energy in Netherwhere was shut down. “The generator is down!” Opal exclaimed, happily. “Dusk, Star, Mallet, do you read me?” But they didn’t respond, what caused Opal to fear the worst. “Oh no…” she said. “They have been burned into a crisp! I ruined everything! I told them I shouldn’t have come.” It was then that, for her happiness, Dusk responded: “The next time you shup off the lights, Opal, warn us first.” With Star’s help, the three infiltrated Sea Raiders started going up the conduct. At the central of communications, the skeletons were doing their best to restore the energy. “Functioning generator activated” the skeleton said to Golden Bones. “Main generator will reboot in a minute.” “Someone is helping that fool from beyond” Golden Bones realized. “Search the outside of the base with a fine tooth comb!” Dusk, Star and Mallet continued their way, while guided by Opal. “At the end of this path, you should find a metal cover that you have to unscrew” she told them. Looking around, Star found what Opal was talking about. However, Opal was so focused in helping her friends she didn’t noticed the skeleton on a ptero that was flying nearby. It flew against her and grabbed her. At Skullivar’s room, he was still trying to pass through the runes of the Heptahedron. Meanwhile, Dusk and the others were able to open the metal cover and enter in his room, just under the suspended division of the room. They were able to see Skullivar working on the Heptahedron. “He’s in a trance” Star said. “Everyone, quiet.” Dusk then directed Star and Mullet so that they would surround Skullivar and then approached, with him going from above and the others from below. But when Dusk was considerably close, Calabrass talked: “Well, well, stick wad, not even able to open a little box?” “Calabrass…” Skullivar said, turning then to him and Dusk. “You dare to venture here inside Netherwhere?” “He isn’t alone” Dusk said, putting himself in a combat position. “Calabrass, give me the Eye of Blazz.” And so he and Calabrass transformed. “Fireball!” Dusk shouted, while casting a ball of fire against Skullivar. However, to his surprise, Skullivar was able to catch the fireball with ease and then extinguish it. “You’re not worthy of the powers of the Seven Seas, boy” Skullivar said, while approaching Dusk who kept casting fireballs, only to have them blocked by the villain. “You think your pathetic little magic trick have any effect on me?” “A goof magician would know that a big flash usually means…” Dusk started. “A misdirection!” And Star and Mallet appeared, behind Skullivar, with Star taking the Heptahedron and Mallet covering him. Star then used his magic to seal the Heptahedron again. “You little alicorn brat!” Skullivar exclaimed, extending his hand and catching Star with his telekinesis and tormenting him. “Let go of my friend!” Mallet exclaimed while charging against Skullivar, tackling him strongly, what caused him to drop Star. However, Skullivar got up, all while spinning around and creating a tornado of smoke that casted Mallet and Dusk away. The villain then laughed and then asked, while his adversaries got up: “You really think you can defy me?! In my own kingdom?!” “Calabrass, give me the Eye of Aeria!” Dusk asked. And the Eye of Aeria was activated, transforming Dusk and Calabrass, who turned into a shield. Skullivar then shot a green beam from his fist that Dusk blocked with Calabrass. But the power was so big that Dusk knew he couldn’t hold it for long. He said to his friends: “I won’t be able to hold him for much longer!” Dusk deflected the attack, all while casting a wave of energy against Skullivar. However, the villain casted another beam to counter the attack and counterattack, which Star blocked with Calabrass again. Star and Mallet headed towards the door, but when it opened, they faced Golden Bones who entered with his soldiers who had brought Opal with them. “Not so fast” he said. “Dusk, I’m sorry” Opal said. “I didn’t see them coming.” And Dusk returned to his normal form, along with Calabrass, and Skullivar said to him: “You have lost… as we both know you would. Give me the Heptahedron and the Eyes of the Seven Seas and your pathetic little crew may live.” Dusk returned to his friends’ side and Star said to him: “Skullivar cannot have it back, Dusk. The Triangle will crumble and who knows what effect it may have in the Pony World.” “I’m sorry” Opal said. “It’s all my fault. I’m just a princess who is also a tinkerer.” “Don’t say that, Opal” Star told her. “This is not your fault.” At that moment, Dusk just had a great idea to escape that situation. All he and his crew needed was to put on a show. Blinking to Opal, he said: “Sure it is. You’re not even a very big tinkerer. You don’t invent, you only copy.” Opal got a little confused over Dusk’s words. “What? But it was you who told me…” Getting Opal was not getting it, Dusk asked his brother: “Right, Star?” On the other hoof, Star quickly realized what Dusk was trying to do and played along. “Do not blame on Opal” he said, while showing his holoprojector. “All he does is put command after command on her little device” Dusk continued. “What, but I don’t even…” she started, realizing then what they were trying ton say. And so she went to her device to access the holoprojector. “Enough, Dusk Storm!” Skullivar shouted, while advancing. “Surrender or perish!” “Fine” he replied, while putting down the Heptahedron and Calabrass. “Release our useless friend and I’ll give you what you want.” “Don’t forget what you promised, Skullivar” Star told. “We are to be released.” Turning to Opal, Skullivar told her: “Go!” And she returned to his friends’ side, telling then to Dusk: “I hope you know what you’re doing.” “Leave!” Skullivar commanded, all while calling the Heptahedron and Calabrass telekinetically. “With the Seven Eyes and the Heptahedron, I’m…” But, at that moment, a burst of light occurred. “What?!” It was then that the Heptahedron and Calabrass just turned into the holoprojector which fell on the floor. Neither Skullivar or Golden Bones couldn’t believe what had just happened. “Yes!” Dusk exclaimed, while Mallet and Star revealed to have been holding Calabrass and the Heptahedron behind them, respectivally, with the former delivering Calabrass to Dusk. “Our super tinker saved us all! Calabrass, give me the Eye of Dezer!” And so they transformed, with Calabrass becoming a hammer that Dusk used to break the big big window behind them so that he and the others could jump before Golden Bones and the skeletons could get them. “Destroy them!” Skullivar ordered. While they were falling, Chaos appeared, using his sail to help Dusk, Opal and Mallet land on the deck safely, while Star landed using his flying abilities. “Now that’s a plan c” Clover said, while at the helm. “C as in Plan Clover.” “I think you mean, C as in Chaos” Dusk replied, as Chaos jumped back to the water and started moving away. “We’re going to hide in the Vapir echoes before Skullivar’s army get to us.” Seeing the Sea Raiders getting away, Skullivar shouted with pure frustration. “NO!!!!” After making sure the Heptahedron was placed in the deepest part of the Sea of Beru where nopony, not even Skullivar’s army couldn’t reach, Star returned to the Chaos, where everyone was congratulating Opal for what she did. “That was great, Opal” Dusk said. “We would never made it without you.” “And Skullivar would have ravaged the Seven Seas” Star added. “And that wouldn’t be a very pretty sight, believe you me” Calabrass ensured. “So I did good?” Opal asked. “You’ve always did good, Opal” Star said. “Your inventions have always helped us in a way or another.” “No Opal only needs to invent something so that she can fight” Mallet said. “And not with little light shooter.” “Well, I do have been working on something” she said. “I was thinking in modifying my diving suit so that I could have a little boost when it comes to fight.” “What do you know?” Dusk said. “Apparently there’s nothing the princess of tinkers can’t do.” And so they all laughed, all while enjoying their victory against Skullivar’s plan to take over the Bermikun Triangle.
