"Okay," Bulker said as pulled out an x ray of Bakore, "as you know, in order to use the X-injector, you need to train your body to handle Chemical X in its rawest form." Looking at the small vial in front of him, Bakore asked, "Is this it?" "Well how did you think I got like this?" Kaiser said lifting his arm, "You got to get used to receiving this stuff over time!" Lifting the saucer Bakore wiggled it back and forth, allowing the liquid to swish around in the vial as Twin Drake asked, "Is this a good idea?" Suddenly, Tameron came through the door and noticing Twin Drake called out, "Hey Drake? You have a minute?" Turning, Twin Drake mouthed 'Not now!' Tameron started, "Yeah, but-" Suddenly Voidmond grabbed the humonculus's shoulder from behind asking, "Hey Tameron, what did you want Twin Drake for?" Turning to the fake garuda, Tameron stammered, "Oh, Hey Void! What are you doing here?" "I was going to deliver this parcel," Voidmond stated revealing the parcel in his hands, "it's from Ethinine's friend." "Oh," Tameron said, clearly not convinced, "okay." Suddenly, they heard Bakore exclaim from within the room. Entering through the doorway, the two found Bakore recoiling from the taste of the blue liquid. "Geez!" Bakore exclaimed, "That tastes horrible!" "You're not supposed to drink it!" Kaiser said pulling the vial away, "Geez, what's wrong with you?" "You set it infront of him and told him that blue (censored) is going in his body!" Twin Drake pointed out,  "What do you expect to happen?" "Wait, what's going on?" Tameron asked. "They're prepping him for the X injector." Voidmond explained setting the package down, "Supposedly " "Does Verdtrus know about this?" Tameron asked.  "I think so." Bulker answered taking the vial from Kaiser, "Eithine gave me approval so I assumed she convinced him." Pulling out a gun like injector, Bulker said inserting vial into the gun, "Now Bakore, this is going to hurt." "That does not look safe!" Twin Drake exclaimed. "Trust me, this is one third of the original dose." Bulker said pointing to Kaiser, "Kaiser can attest to that.  Just be glad you're not consuming devil's root." "What is-?" Bakore asked before Bulker placed the injector to Bakore's sleeveless arm, pulling the trigger. "YEOW!" Bakore exclaimed, "What the (censored)!?" "Watch your profanity." Bulker cooly said, setting the injector down, "To be honest, I'm surprised that Eithine gave the go ahead for you on this project, all the other candidates aside from Kaiser were sent to the Red Dragon red vine project. They just feed you devil's root and ithe transforms you into something nasty. That's how Bloodhound Squad became well- monsters. If you ask me, you should stay the (censored) away from Devils root, it makes you bat (censored) insane." "Watch your profanity." Bakore muttered. "What?" Bulker asked though Voidmond grabbed his shoulder and pointed to the box, saying, "Your box arrived." "Oh!" Bulker exclaimed, moving to the box, "It arrived!" "Wait, we're in the quarry, how did that get here?" Twin Drake questioned. "Eithine knows a guy." Bulker answered opening the parcel, "Besides what we have here may be of use to us in the future!" As the group looked inside, Kaiser asked dumbfounded, "Is that-?" "Yes!" Bulker said chuckling, "It is!"

Meanwhile, Verdtrus asked, "How are you feeling?" On the bench, Raidos sat handcuffed to the platform by ankles her and with one hand in a sling. "Wait, where am I?" She asked, "What is this place?" "You are in the ship's med bay." Eithine answered as Vandrin entered through the door, "Specifically in Guliver Town." "Guliver-?" Raidos asked before exclaiming, "Wait, that's in enemy territory!" Immediately she shot up but immediately she stopped as she groaned, clutching her broken arm. "Careful!" Chromdraco said helping her down, "Your arm is broken." "Don't worry," Eithine assured, "you're safe here for now, we aren't the Bucketheads." "Oh!" Raidos said looking around, "For a moment there, I thought I was captured by the enemy. I mean it could be worse, I could captured by the Red Dragon-" "This is a vessel under the Red Dragon army." Suddenly the voice died in Raidos' throat as her visage changed from relief to disbelief and then to distraught. Seeing this Verdtus immediately said, "It's alright, we're not going to hurt you. We just just want to ask you some questions  that's all." "No! I know you people!" Raidos exclaimed clearly panicking, "You terrorized the planet long before my people arrived!" Turning to Verdtrus, Eithine explained, "Judging from her attire, she may be a general from the South Atlantian continent. But because of her weapon," Suddenly she pulled out Raidos' weapon causing the deer woman's eyes to widen. "She must be one of the three battle maidens, the daughters of the king of Elysium, the ruling body of South Atlantia." Noticing Raidos' visage, Verdtrus  turned to Eithine who ordered Vandrin, "Vandrin, unlock her cuffs." "What?" Vandrin asked. "Do it!" Eithine exclaimed, "That's an order." Hesitantly, Vandrin unlocked the shackles allowing Raidos to pull her legs to her body as best as she can. "Thank you," Verdrtus said before turning to the deer woman, "Look, no one here is going to kill you, trust me, you will be fine!" Turning to Vedrtus, Raidos asked squinting, "What are you, some kind of space buccaneer or something?" At this Chromdraco chuckled as Verdtrus sighed. Removing his hat and and mask, Verdtrus stated, "Look, I know that this scary, I get it, but we have intentions to invade your country. All we want is some information on a certain artifact called the ring of Solomus." "Ring of-?" Raidos pondered before her face contorted to as she remembered something, "Oh! You mean- wait why do you want some old martian ring?" "We have our reasons." Eithine answered, "Nut I can assure you that we have no ill intentions towards your kingdom. All we want is the ring, not your kingdom." After some thought, Raidos answered, "Let me contact my sister first." "Very well." Verdtrus said before standing and motioning to the door, "There's one in the bridge if memory serves me correct." 

Meanwhile at the shuttles, James sat on one of the wings, watching as the agents gathered around the noses. "You've never used this thing before, have you?" Matt asked as Chipp stood helmetless in his armor as he fasten the Gatemakers belt around his waist. "Never got the chance to use it." Chipp answered pulling the Amory brace looking device out of the container. "Man, haven't use these things in years!" "The instructions say that it goes on the other wrist." Wisey called out reading the sheet of paper. "I know!" Chipp called back fastening the device on his other arm, "I read the instructions." "Really?" Chase asked raising an eyebrow. "Look, I just want to know if this thing works." Chipp said as he folded up the small gun and attached it to the belt, "They were supposed to send us some experimental adapter but they gave us a belt instead so there must be some reason why."  Checking the device, Chipp noticed a latch on it's and pulled on it. Suddenly a key like protrusion shot out from device's head as metalic vpice calley out "Heavy arms ready!" "Must be a key." Chipp muttered when he turned to his armorizer, "so that's why there's a plug." On every armorizer, there is a slot where agents can plug in to computers in case if there is a bug in it's internal computer or to download files when necessary. As Chipp inserted the key, James leaned in anticipation, curious to know what is going to happen. With a loud beep, Chipp's armor suddenly glowed as it began to shift into a more bulky form. "Wow!" James exclaimed as he leaned forward, "Scott did you see that? Scott?" "So that's what it does." Chipp said turning off his armor causing it to vanish in a flash of light, revealing the solemn look, "It has come to this then." "So that's what they meant by sending adapters," Bartch said, "an upgrade." "Hey guys!" James called out, "Where's Scott?"

Later at the Buckethead base, Blueacon, Jerry, and Primo sat on the front porch with each holding a beer bottle in their hand. "It's nice to see you again Eugene." Jerry said after a swig from his bottle, "How are the others at the base?" Blueacon just looked at his beer bottle, not saying anything. "What is it?" Primo asked leaning forward. "(Last night they sent an entire army of drones to attack the base.)" immediately Primo and Jerry sat up, "(The agents helped out greatly but Oyster, the Pumper Brothers and Iron Arc were gravely injured.)" Cursing Jerry slammed his drink on the table and exclaimed, "I should have been there!" "HEY!" Beo said causing the three to exclaim and jump. "GYAAH! What the (censored)!?" Jerry exclaimed getting up, "What do you want!?" "I got bored so I came here." Beo said sarcastically cleaning his ear with a finger, "Seriously, I just came to ask questions for you." Standing up, Primo asked, "What do you want to know?" "You were with the knights before we arrived," Beo asked, "what were they like?" "Didn't you say you that they and Clay are nothing but machines?" Jerry demanded, "What's with the sudden interest all of the sudden?" Grinning, Beo answered, "I just want to properly profile my targets, that's all." Grimacing Primo was about to speak when Jerry shot up, saying, "You got a lot of nerve don't ya lizard!" "Maybe I do you you rugged redneck!" Beo called back, "And what was your track record as of late? Oh right! you failed to kill your targets because someone else beat you to the punch! You're as useless as that drone you call a leader!" "Why you scaly (censored)!" Jerry exclaimed before Primo grabbed him by one of his prosthetic arms. "Wait JAY STOP!" Primo exclaimed, "Don't sink down to his level!" "LET ME AT HIM!" Jerry exclaimed "LIZARDS LIKE HIM NEEDS TO PAY!" "NO!" Primo exclaimed, "He's not Red Dragon!" Laughing at this, Beo exclaimed raising his arms, "And what kind of lizard are you talking about exactly?" "(The kind that killed my village!)" Blueacon exclaimed getting up, "(The kind that took my family away!)" "Sorry," Beo said "Care to speak that in English?" Immediately Blueacon transformed into his noid form and leaped at the draken blades out.
