Across the threshold: Out of the frying pan 06

"SHOOT!" Jerry exclaimed as the agents and bucket heads stood on the streets watching the ship looming in the skies, "how could this have happened?" "They must have gotten through the blockade!" Primo exclaimed, "   "Wait! Don't you guys have a military?" "They're in the southern mainland!" Primo answered turning to Bartch, "Look we need to get your friend to the hospital and-!" "Holy smokes! What happend to that guy!?" A bystander exclaimed causing the group to turn to see Wisey, Blueacon and Q leading an injured Beo on the hovercraft. "Wisey!?" Katie exclaimed before the group ran to the four, catching their attention. "(What the-!?)" Q exclaimed, "(What the heck are you guys doing here!?)" "Look we don't have much time! We need to get to the hospital now!" Wisey exclaimed pulling out a slip of paper, "Wait what happened to Bartch?" 

On the hull of the ship, the combatants immediately ceased their battle and looked up as well to see the massive ship above them. "W-what? What the heck is that!?" Kaiser demanded pointing up. "It's a South Atalantian ship!" Chase exclaimed, "But how did it get here!?" Seeing Chipp, Kaiser was about to move to attack when Twin Drake grabbed his shoulder exclaiming, "Come on! Let's get out of here before whoever's up there starts firing!" "And leave these Jerks on our vessel!?" Kaiser snapped back, "No way!" "Calm down!" Tarrot exclaimed after quickly rushing to their side, "We have more immediate problem to deal with!" Suddenly, a loud noise rang from above causing the three to look back up.

"Wait, he did what!?" Katie exclaimed as the group stood in the hospital's lobby. "I saw him rip something out of his chest," Wisey exclaimed looking down in shame, "but after that, he just let us leave just like that!" "(He even attacked his own guys and threw away one of the stolen artifacts!)" Q added, revealing the necklace Voidmond gave them, "(Seriously, something's off with that guy if you ask me!)" Taking the necklace, Katie asked as a look of realization fell upon her face, "Wait, isn't this the Noas necklace?" "Noas? Wait, you mean from the ancient legends?" Primo asked, eyes widening. "One of the reasons why we are here is because the knights had stole artifacts from all across the planet." Katie answered, "They struck not only our country, but Gash and even an Atlantian base as well." "(Censored)!" Jerry muttered, "So these kids have been... why have !" "Hey!" Katie exclaimed, "Calm down! We need to have a plan of action here. Firstly, we need to call the others and tell them where we are." "(You can't.)" Blueacon said walking in, "(Their ships have jamming equipment as a feature. If you want to contact them, you'll have to head over there yourself.)" After some thought, Kaite turned to Q and asked, "Q can you hand me the necklace?" "What are you doing?" Hoot asked as Kaite took the necklace from Wisey's hand. "I'm curious, if these guys can use the artifacts, then why can't we?" "(Whoa!)" Q exclaimed,  "(Let's not's do anything hasty!)" "Bartch told us that this thing can take us anywhere, right?" Katie asked, "Let's bring it to Bartch just in case. "

Back at the quarry, spheres of ice and fire dropped in from the ship and landed hard on the hull with a resound thud, dissipating into mist. "Be careful guys!" Chipp said, readying his weapon, "Anything could happen!" Watching the mist pass over the hull Twin Drake turned to Tarrot who immediately raised his gauntlet in a defensive position. Suddenly large flame flared to life as the air suddenly became cold around them. Cooly walking out of the mist were two figures, one Chipp recognized as Kaitres who smirked at the sight before her. "Why hello there boys, may we join in?" "Who the heck is this chick?" Matt asked quietly Scott. "She's the psychopath who nearly killed us at the fortress." Scott answered. "Ahhhhhh." Matt muttered before the second figure, a deer woman in cyan armor stepped forward. "Are you the agents from Formera?" She asked raising a bejeweled bow towards the group. "Erm," Chipp muttered before saying, "Who's asking?" "I am Koriuno of the battle maidens and leader of the Elysian army. Who is this am I speaking to?" "Chipp Johnson of the Cross Planetary Defense Force." Chipp answered, "What do you want?" 

Breaking away, Tarrot and Twin Drake pulled an angry Kaiser towards the door before suddenly Rick kicked through the door exclaiming "Alright you martian (censored)s! Bring it on!" Turning to the numian, Kaiser raised his hand saying, "Hey Ricky!" "Kaiser?" Rick asked, "Hey man, how are you doing?" Immediately Twin Drake pointed to the numian, demanding, "Who the (censored) are you!?" Hearing the commotion,  Kaitres raised her weapon asking, "Can I smite em big sis?" "Don't." Kuriuno said holding her bow to block the deer woman's path, "They are allies." Turning to the agents, she answered, "We are here because the crew of the vessel has requested our assistance in return for our sister's safety." "Oh come on!" Chipp muttered  raised his gun, and asked, "Wait! So Red Dragon army has your sister?" "Please allow me to elaborate," Kuriuno interrupted, "we came here not because our sister was held hostage, but because they have save her after the raid on the base on the border, the same raid that you yourselves have assisted in." "Our ship was shot down." Chipp explained, "Plus your sister nearly killed us when we're retrieving equipment from our ship." "Please leave," Kuriuno ordered, "and we'll ignore your role of what happened two days ago." Looking up to the ship, Chipp gritted his teeth and looked at the two saying in a matter of fact manner, "Sorry, but our friends are inside that ship." "Chipp," Chase interjected, "there's a (censored)ing ship above us! How are-!?" "Oh that ship above us is going to burn Gulliver town!" Kaitres called out in an almost musical tone, "~If you want to save the town, then you'll have to fight~!" "Kai..." Kuriuno warned but Kaitres just smirked and said, "Come on sis, let me have this!" "If that's the case.." Chipp said before turning to the other agents, "Come on! We can take them!"  Soon, one by one the four agents soon raised their weapons and charged at the two. Sighing, Kuriuno soon turned and walked to the door as Kaitres, grinning, suddenly broke off in a sprint towards the four agents. "Please take me to your leader." Kuriuno, ordered politely, "I must see to my sister's safety."
