"(Censored)!" Katie exclaimed as she and Bartch starred at Tameron glared at them from down the hall. Approaching the two, Tameron demanded "Where's Flip!?" "Mordecai mentioned a Flip amongst the knights!" Bartch whispered,  Suddenly Flip appeared from behind the two, and pointed to the behind exclaiming, "Omnidec is hurt!" Looking behind the two, Tameron found a wounded Omnidec staggering towards the group. "Omni!" Tameron exclaimed, "What the (censored) were you doing!?" "I'm trying to do my job!" Omnidec exclaimed, "That's all!"  Sighing, Tameron turned to Bartch and noticing his wounds, asked, "You okay man?" Surprised by this, Bartch looked to Katie before answering, "Yes, I will be fine, but your comrades need medical attention though." Nodding his head in agreement, Tameron then held his arms out to the two revealing the built in guns in his gauntlets saying, "You heard Flaron last time guys, we can't let you interfere. Please leave now or else someone else gets hurt!" Looking around, Katie got up and was about to respond when a gun cock rang behind Tameron, causing the humonculus to turn around to see Primo holding his blaster towards him. "Primo?" Tameron asked solemnly, "You too?" "Step down goat boy!" Primo ordered, "I know we haven't talked much, but you don't have to do this!" "Sorry," Tameron said turning around, "but we need to help our brothers!" "No you don't!" Primo exclaimed, "What you are doing is harming the people of this planet!" 

Outside, the four agents ran along the bow of the Grendel after Chipp and Scott carried both Matt and Chase up via both flight and teleportation. Staggering after letting go of Scott, Matt exclaimed, "Shoot! Still can't get used to that!"  "Speak for yourself!" Scott said panting, "Guess it's too late to ask for power drink huh?" Looking to the door inside, Chase pointed and said, "Look! There's our opening! We can get in the ship through there!" Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Kaiser as he stepped into the light. Seeing the four, Kaiser grinned and revealed the new red X-injector around his waist, saying, "It's for round two old man!" Activating the X-injector, Kaiser crossed his arms into an x shape before moving into a fighting position and exclaiming "Change -!" Suddenly, a volley of icicles hit the hull in front of the four as Tarrot and Twin Drake came in suddenly from above and landing smoothly on the ground in front of Kaiser. "HEY! What the-!?" Kaiser exclaimed before the two humonculi charged at the agents, who quickly pulled out their weapons to retaliate. Seeing this Kaiser sighed before he pressed the pump on the X-injector, allowing a mass of red glowing tubes to emerge from his belt as they began to wrap around his body. Soon after a flash of red light, Kaiser stood fully clad in new crimson armor similar to his original, except for a more symmetrical design and a series of five red fins jutting out of his black dome-like helmet. Soon the voice box for the device exclaimed, "X INJECT DARKONI X!" Seeing Kaiser's new form, Chipp paused in the battle as the others turned to see . grinning under his helmet, Kaiser exclaimed, "Let's go old man!" before rushing towards Chipp as he pulled out the D-gun in dagger mode. 

"But our brothers..." Tameron stammered, "How are we-?" "What are you talking about!?" Omnidec exclaimed, "We're just trying to stop G Zero!" "Then why are you attacking us?" Primo demanded, "Why are you helping the Red Dragon army?" "Because they-!" Omnidec, started before a look of confusion fell over his face under his helmet as he stammered, "They, they-!" "Tameron," Primo asked the now ashamed Tameron, "you didn't even tell them did you?" "Tameron?" Omnidec asked turning to the large humonculus, "What is he talking about?" 

Slashing at the Chipp, Kaiser roared, "What's the matter old man? Shocked to see an old face?" Immediately, Chipp kneed the younger ceasarian in the stomach, causing the ceasarian to stagger back. "Look kid, I'm not actually sure who you think you are, but do you know what you're even doing!?" "Yeah!" Kaiser exclaimed, "Avenging my dad and reforming our army!" "Reforming!?" Chipp exclaimed, "What are you talking about!?" "It's nothing you jerks need to know!" Kaiser barked back, "You're going down!" Catching the blade with his gun, Chipp grunted as he shoved the young ceasarian back. "This isn't a game!" Chipp exclaimed, holding the gun's butt towards Kaiser, "Do you even know how your father died!?" "Yeah," Kaiser said getting back on, "you killed him!" As Kaiser pressed the pump again, energy soon flowed into his D-gun, causing it to start glowing like a night light as the blade began to grow to the size of a clay-more. Raising it, Kaiser exclaimed, "EAT THIS!" and slashed downwards. Quickly, Chipp leaped out of the way before the blade scarred the upper hull of the ship. The older ceasarian aimed his gun at Kaiser and fired, sending Kaiser flying back to the door. Getting up, Kaiser glared under his helmet towards Chipp and roared before rushing the older ceasarian again. 

Telling Omnidec everything that Primo told him, Tameron lowered his head as Kaite then looked around to see a shocked Flip and a clearly unnerved Omnidec who turned to Katie demanding, "Is this true?" Suddenly tears filled Flip's eyes as suddenly curled into a ball on the floor causing Tameron to revert back into his previous state to comfort the young humonculus. Watching this, Omnidec balled his fists and cursed in an alien language before raising his weapon exclaiming "That's insane! Verdtrus would never work with someone as cruel the 14 Jewels!" "He's telling the truth!" Katie exclaimed catching the humonculus' attention, "They have harmed civilians and had killed millions!" Soon Omnidec looked to Katie and Bartch and was about to say something when a voice called out "Primo!" 

Jerry, followed by Hoot and James appeared behind Primo, as he exclaimed panting, "Dang it! I told you  to wait up for us!" Noticing, the knights, Jerry pulled out his gun but Primo held his hand out and pointed to Flip on the floor causing the ursan to lower his gun. Suddenly, Eric's eyes snapped open and held out his hand and quickly both the agents and Buckeheads found themselves in the middle of guliver town. "W-what the (censored)!?" James exclaimed as the crowd looked opposite to the group. "Dang it!" Jerry exclaimed "We almost had im!" "What the-!?" Primo exclaimed, "What the heck just happened!" "It must be Eric," Katie answered helping Bartch on his feet, "he was able to do that before back when 21 was trying to kill us!" "We need to head back!" Bartch said as he and Katie powered down,"Chipp and the others are going to-" Suddenly the crowd began to clamor causing the group to turn to see a massive shadow looming over the sky. 

Watching the fight play out on the deck, Voidmond cocked his head as he watched Kaiser as got up. "Hmm, these agents aren't bad." Turning to the two humonculi fighting the agents, Voidmond found Twin Drake dive bombing both Chase and Matt while Tarrot tried to hit Scott with his whip. Soon, the sirian looking humonculus pull out the chips Twin Drake had thrown in front of the Drill Cannon earlier and inserted them into his weapon. Pressing the trigger, the whip began to glow and to Scott's surprise, it split morphed into a glowing cat head attached to a long neck. "Oh that's a new one." Voidmond commented hand on his chin, "didn't know you can stack 'em." Soon he moved to walk inside when a shadow passed over his head. Looking up, Voidmond found a massive ship hovering over the quarry in the sky. "Welp," Voidmond said to himself, "that's new!"
