The story thus far:
On Lakitu's advice, Copter, Punchy, Rainbow, Gemini, and 2BIT journeyed to Cubyrinth to participate in the Fever Hockey Amateur Tournament. It was a tough event, but with the help of Silver and Blaze, they managed to defeat the Babylon Rogues in the finals and take the prize of three Power Stars, Silver and Blaze each receiving one for their help. Meanwhile, Jimmy got lost in Cubyrinth's maze, and found a Chaos Emerald. Upon meeting up with Copter and friends, Jimmy recognized a scream from his friend, Melody. The group got separated in the maze, leaving Copter and Jimmy to chase after an ape named Killer Kong, who was also being chased by Donkey Kong. Meanwhile, Illusi led Punchy and Gemini to Conquer Corp's Ray, who was singing about how he'd found some Power Stars. Soon, everyone met up on Dry Bowser's airship, which had been upgraded by Dr. Spizzy and was filled with Conquer Corp's minions! Ultimately, Dry Bowser accidentally destroyed the ship's propellers, and now the airship is crashing near Icepeak, taking everyone aboard with it!
Now, on to the next chapter!


The airship rapidly fell towards Icepeak, and while everyone else on the ship was busy panicking, Zeppo was busy at the helm, trying to steer the ship away from any areas with people. His efforts were successful, and the airship crashed into a heavily forested area to the east of Icepeak's mountain. The crash hurled the passengers to the floor of the ship, knocking several of them unconscious, and causing Dry Bowser and his Dry Bones minion to break into pieces. Aside from that, none were seriously hurt. Zeppo was first to stand back up after the crash. "Ugh... Huh? All right! I landed this thing safely!" he said with relief. "And YOU said he couldn't do it!" Gator said to an unconscious Henchguy. As those who were conscious began to get up, Melody soon found Jimmy. "Oh, dear... Looks like he'll be out for a while..." she said, lifting him up in her arms. "Having been KO'd by the crash, Jimmy had allowed this Narrator to take a much needed break." the Narrator declared. "Good riddance..." Copter groaned as he stood up, "Punchy? Gemini? You two alive?" Gemini was hanging on to the side of the ship, and wouldn't let go. "I never want to fly again..." she said shakily. Seeing that Gemini was OK, Copter looked for Punchy next. He was also unconscious, and buried under a pair of Henchguys. Copter dragged the villains off of Punchy, while Cranky Kong surveyed the scene and laughed. "You're all wimps these days! Why, when I was young, I often fell several stories from towers, and I always walked away with nary a scratch! A slight headache maybe, but that was to be expected..." As Cranky continued lecturing no one, Donkey Kong and Birdo were searching the ship for their lost belongings. Suddenly, Killer Kong burst out from under a pile of unconscious Henchguys, knocking them aside as he did! He was still holding the Orb of Earth, and he seemed determined to hold on to it. "Wow, that's one tough monkey..." said Ray, who was also still conscious. Copter. Gemini, DK, and Birdo approached the villains, eager to finish this quickly. "That's enough, monkey! Drop that Orb!" Copter yelled. "And give up the stars!" Gemini added. Killer pounded his chest and roared at them. "You not stop Kong! Kong SMASH you!" he bellowed.

Killer immediately went on the attack, heaving powerful punches as Copter and DK came at him. Copter was knocked flat on his back, while DK blocked the punches with his strong arms. Once he saw an opening, DK attempted to counterattack, and soon the apes were having an intense brawl. Meanwhile, Gemini noticed Ray was trying to sneak away. "Hey! Where do you think you're going!?" she shouted, pointing her wand at him. Ray ran faster and jumped over the side of the ship, stumbling as he landed in the snow below. Gemini was about to follow him when White got in her way! "Not so fast. In order to stop Ray, you must go through me first!" he threatened. At this point, Gator wandered over. "Hey, what's up? Have you guys seen my pirate hat? I lost it in the crash." he asked. "That knight's getting away! Can you catch him by teleporting?" Gemini asked. Gator scratched his head in confusion. "Teleport? I can't do a silly thing like that!" he protested, despite having done so shortly before the crash. At the same time, Copter and Donkey Kong were still having trouble fighting Killer Kong. "Hang in there, guys! I'll get him!" Birdo shouted before shooting eggs from her mouth, trying to hit the black ape. Killer Kong reacted by catching the eggs and throwing them at Copter and DK, resulting in Copter being knocked over again. "Ack!! Oh, REAL helpful, pinky!" he groaned. It was looking more and more grim as Dr. Spizzy and Sable regained consciousness and started to go after Melody, who was still carrying Jimmy. Zeppo began running over to try to help, but several Henchguys blocked his path. "I don't have time for you guys!" he growled, blowing ice to force them to flee. They didn't run far, though, and quickly came at him again. With things looking increasingly more dangerous, a newcomer arrived on the ship. It was the rogue robot who had turned against Dr. Eggman, Omega. "Does not compute. Ship appeared to be mechanical, yet no sign of Eggman. Must clear hostiles from area to conduct a better search." he said, pulling his mechanical hands inside his arms and replacing them with missile launchers. "Cannot ID foes. Eliminate all threats!!" With that, Omega fired a salvo of missiles around the ship, forcing everyone to drop what they were doing and flee from the blasts!

When the smoke cleared, the ship looked much like it did immediately after the crash, with everyone on the ground. Omega scanned the area before commencing with a search through the ship. "No casualties. Targets merely wounded. Missiles may be insufficient to eliminate Eggman..." Omega muttered as he entered the captain's cabin to look around. Most everyone began moving as soon as Omega was out of sight, but the fight was blasted out of them. "Time out, EVERYONE! I need a rest..." Dr. Spizzy groaned. Donkey Kong and Birdo walked over to Killer Kong. He'd been knocked out, and had dropped everything he'd been carrying. DK quickly picked up his tie and put it on, grunting happily once he looked like himself again. "My bow!" Birdo cheered, finding it among the junk Killer had collected. "My hat!" Gator added, picking up a black hat with a skull and crossbones on it. Finally, Copter retrieved the Orb of Earth from Killer Kong. "Thank goodness for demented robots. Now let's get outta here before he comes back!" he suggested. "Hey, guys... What happened?" asked Punchy, who had just regained consciousness. "Never mind that! I want my feet on solid ground again!" Copter insisted. Soon, everyone but Conquer Corp had vacated the ship, and Jimmy had woken up as well. While Melody and Gator explained what had been happening to Punchy and Jimmy, 2BIT and Rainbow arrived on the scene. "Wow, you're all OK... Bowser's airships are surprisingly safe." 2BIT remarked. Copter held up the Orb to show them. "At any rate, we got this away from that crazed monkey." he said. "But that knight got away. Should we go after him?" Gemini wondered. "Naa, we'd probably never find him now. He's fast for a guy wearing armor." 2BIT said. "Besides, I already found something for us to do!" Rainbow added excitedly, "Figure skating! They're having a figure skating contest not far from here! I wanna enter!" Copter groaned a little at the idea. "Do we have to?" he whined. Rainbow shook her head. "You can't, Two. It's a girls-only contest." she explained. Gemini smiled. "Sounds like fun. I think I'll enter, too!" she decided. At that moment, Punchy rejoined their group. "Hey, what's going on, guys?" he asked. Copter grabbed him by the arm and started following Rainbow, Gemini, and 2BIT. "Come on, Punch, I'll tell ya the bad news on the way..." he grumbled.

The figure skating contest was being held outdoors on the frozen river that branched off in two directions at the bottom of the mountain. The spot where the river forked was just big enough for this contest. Copter, Punchy, and 2BIT sat in the audience to the south of the ice, grumbling about how uncomfortable the folding chairs were, while Rainbow and Gemini were busy preparing for the contest. It was almost ready to begin, and one of the two announcers got up from her seat next to the judges' booth. It was Katie the Coyote, and she was accompanied by a small fairy clad in a small pink shirt and skirt. Copter recognized Katie and groaned. "Oh, no... If she's here, her friend the police officer might..." Before he could finish, Razor the porcupine arrived and sat beside him. "Hello, experiments. I didn't think you'd be into figure skating." he said. "We're not..." Punchy protested. "Hey, any leads on the criminal activities going on here, Razor?" 2BIT asked. Razor looked at Copter and Punchy suspiciously. "Well, I've found you, haven't I?" he said sternly. Copter rolled his eyes, and Razor laughed at him. "Only fooling. I'm here with Katie, mostly. Let's just hang out here and be civil, all right?" Copter and Punchy glanced at each other miserably. Razor was just about the last person they wanted to hang out with, but for now, they were stuck. The contest was about ready to get underway, so Katie and the fairy began announcing. "Hello, Icepeak! It's time for the Women's Figure Skating Special! I'm Katie the Coyote!" Katie began. "And I'm Kooky, the Magically Silly Fairy! We've got a great turnout for this event, and the winner will be getting a special Olympic-looking medal! We'd like to give out real Olympic medals, but they'd sue us." the fairy explained. "Now, I'd like to introduce our panel of judges. From the Mushroom Kingdom, please welcome Toadette!" Katie said. Toadette waved to the people in the audience. "Thank you, thank you! I'm sure excited to be here!" she cheered. Kooky introduced the next judge. "All the way from another dimension, please welcome Marine the Raccoon!" Marine jumped up and down in her seat excitedly. "Crikey! I must be the youngest judge ever, but I'll do my best, mates!" she promised. "From Station Square, we have a really good friend of mine, Chet the cheetah!" Katie announced. Chet waved to the audience. "What can I say? I have friends in high places! This'll be awesome!" he said. "And finally, from the far off land of Zronia, please welcome the great hero, Barrel-Man!" Kooky announced. The final judge was a man in blue clothes wearing a barrel with eyeholes on his head. "Hey, why aren't there any barrels in the audience...?" he wondered. While Katie and Kooky were busy with announcing, Rainbow and Gemini were waiting with the other contestants. One of their rivals was Rouge the Bat. "Hey, girls. Ready to lose?" she taunted. Gemini glared at her a little. "Ugh... You..." she muttered. "We'll see who ends up losing, Batty!" Rainbow snapped. Rouge chuckled softly. "We sure will..."

News Brief! > Kooky the Magically Silly Fairy has followed the heroes of GeneX closely in the fangames. They may have mistaken her for a tutorial character, but that honor is held by Gator instead.

The contest began to play out, with each contestant giving their performance one by one, getting scored by the judges once finished. There were many contestants, including Birdo, Wave, Melody, and several others. The judges were not exactly professional judges, but none complained about their scores. Chet in particular was quite generous with his scoring, giving each of the girls an eight out of ten or higher. Copter and Punchy, on the other hand, were far less interested than he was. Both of them struggled to stay awake, waiting for Rainbow and Gemini's turn. When Rainbow's turn finally came, Punchy found he was too drowsy to actually watch. "Do me a favor and wake me when it's all over..." he said, finally drifting off to sleep. Rainbow, meanwhile, put on a decent performance, winning over the crowd with her cute charm, but her performance did prove to be a little sloppy. "You looked like you almost fell a couple times, so I'm afraid I have to give you a 6.5." Toadette told her. "Strewth! Don't be cruel! It was at least a 7!" Marine protested. "Aw, it's a crime what they're doing to you. A pretty one like yourself deserves an 8!" Chet decided. "Um... errr... 7.5?" Barrel-Man said uncertainly. He was, after all, the least qualified judge there. Rainbow sighed and skated off. "Oh well... Maybe Wanda will have better luck." she said. Rouge certainly fared much better, and it was obvious she'd practiced a lot. "That was great! I'll give you a 9.5!" Toadette said. "Yeah, me too! 9.5!" Marine agreed. "Magnificent! So hot, even in the cold! You get a 10!" Chet cheered. Even Barrel-Man was impressed. "9.7, I'd say. It's a little hard to see with my barrel on, though..." he admitted. Rouge bowed gracefully and skated to the edge of the ice. "Beat that!" she grinned. Meanwhile, Copter was getting drowsy as well. Luckily, Gemini was up next. When her name was announced, Copter snapped himself out of his drowsiness to watch. As Gemini skated into view, Copter was awestruck. Surrounded by the sparkling ice and the snow that shimmered in the sunlight, her beauty dazzled Copter as she skated elegantly and gracefully, and without the aid of magic, too. He watched her closely, overcome by something he'd never felt before. Suddenly, she pranced out of his vision unexpectedly, and in that split second he'd taken his eyes off her, he saw something across the river. It was Ray, sneaking around near a cave in the side of the mountain. "What's he up to..." Copter muttered curiously.

News Brief! > Barrel-Man, Barrel-Man! He can do what no one can! After all, who else could pull off a barrel mask as a fashion statement?

Though Gemini's performance moved him, Copter realized he had to go after Ray, even if Gemini wasn't finished yet. He got up from his seat and looked around for a bridge he could use to catch up with Ray. "What's up?" Razor asked him. Copter jumped upon remembering Razor was there, and quickly thought of a lie. "I... uh... need to find a bathroom!" he said, running off on his own. Razor watched him go and pulled out a cell phone. "Hey, Guard. Experiment 2 is wandering around Icepeak. Maybe you'd better keep an eye on him..." he said. Copter wasted no time catching up to Ray, who had gone inside the cave. Copter peered in carefully, trying to avoid being seen. "If I can get the drop on this guy, maybe I can grab the stars with a minimum of trouble..." he thought. Ray was peering around the cave, looking for something. As Copter watched, however, a loud voice behind him startled him. "Hey, Copter! What're ya doin'?" Copter jumped, turned around, and covered Gator's mouth. "What is your problem!?" he yelled. Suddenly, Ray ran out of the cave and pointed an accusing finger at them. "Aha! Your sneakiness might get you far, but there's no way you'll find my star...s!" he sang. "Thut uf, Ay!" Gator said, muffled by Copter's hand. Copter released him and turned to Ray. "Find them... You don't have them?" he asked. Ray nodded. "Yeah, and you'll never find where they're buried 'cuz I don't even remember!" he said. "Ah, so they're buried?" said another voice overhead. Copter, Gator, and Ray all looked up to find a green man hovering overhead with a jetpack. He had a strange looking head, almost triangle shaped, and huge black eyes, with no nose and a tiny mouth. "Eeeek! Alien!!" Gator yelped. The green man laughed at the three below him. "I am the intergalactic conqueror, Spacey! I am here to find the legendary Power Stars! If I unlock their secrets, I will be unstoppable, and your planet will soon be mine!" he said. Copter groaned in frustration. "Where do these guys come from, anyway?" he muttered. Ray stomped his foot angrily and pointed at Spacey. "Hey, Spacey! Whatever you may be, you won't get the stars before me!" he sang. Spacey frowned. "Earthling is very annoying. Now commencing with search, lest my ears explode." he said, flying away. "But he doesn't have any ears..." Gator pointed out. "Never mind that. Where's the stars, Ray... Uh, Ray?" Copter looked around and found Ray fleeing to another cave. Gator grabbed Copter by the arm and dragged him along for the chase. "Come on, matey! There's treasure to find on this island!" he said gleefully.


Gemini had done better in the figure skating contest than Rainbow, but she had still come up short. It was a disappointment, but an even greater disappointment came when she saw Punchy was asleep, and Copter was missing. Still, she silently waited and watched as the remaining contestants skated for the judges. Finally, it was time for the final contestant. "Now, please welcome our final skater, Alexia!" Katie announced. As the final contestant skated into view, all of the spectators' jaws dropped. Kooky glanced at the card with the names of the contestants on it. "That's not Alexia... That's ALPHA!" she gasped. Indeed, Alpha was skating around the ice, wearing a tutu and singing gleefully. Everyone in the audience soon started booing, and the judges each held up a card with a big 0 on it, except Barrel-Man, who held a 1. Chet smacked his barrel, and he corrected his score as a zero as well. "Sorry, Alpha. Robots can't compete in this contest. You're disqualified!" Kooky announced. Alpha flew off in a huff. "You all is just jealous! Hmph!" Alpha said as he flew off. Now, the contest was over, and 2BIT elbowed Punchy to wake him up. "I didn't eat your strudel! Huh? Where am I?" Punchy muttered sleepily. The contestants gathered by the judge's booth for the announcement of the winners. "In third place, give it up for the lovely Melody!" Katie announced, handing a bronze medal to Melody. "In second, it's the graceful Gemini!" Kooky said, handing Gemini silver. "And finally, for a performance that blew the judges away, the winner is Rouge!" Katie said, awarding the bat girl with the gold. Rouge waved as the audience cheered, pausing briefly to shoot Gemini and Rainbow a superior smirk. "Told ya so..." she whispered. Gemini and Rainbow frowned at her, but upon showing Rainbow her silver medal, they both smiled slightly. As the crowd started to clear out, Punchy and 2BIT caught up with Rainbow and Gemini at the other side of the frozen river. "Uh, you were both great, girls!" Punchy said, prompting Gemini to smack him with her wand. "You weren't even watching! I watched you at the ice hockey thing! Jerks!" she yelled. "Hey, I wonder what happened to Copter... He said he was going to the bathroom a while ago..." 2BIT noted. "We'll find him!" Rainbow growled. "And give him a piece of our minds!" Gemini added. Punchy gulped nervously. "We're doomed..." he muttered.


Gator led Copter along a cliff on the side of the mountain. He was looking over a map of Icepeak. "If we just follow this map, we'll get that treasure in no time!" he said. "How? That's not a map to the treasure! It's just a regular map!" Copter groaned. However, they soon came across Spacey, hovering around the cliff with his jetpack. "Think you'll get the treasure before me, do you? Foolish earthlings! I will disintegrate you with my laser gun!" he said, aiming what appeared to be a toy laser pistol. Copter laughed at him. "Seriously? Where did you get that thing, a cereal box?" he joked. Spacey pulled the trigger, and a huge, powerful beam was fired, which hit Gator, but caused a small explosion that knocked Copter backward as well! "Ha ha ha ha! Earthlings have such tiny brains..." Spacey laughed. However, both Copter and Gator soon stood up again, generally unharmed. Gator's survival shocked both Copter and Spacey. "Huh? He hit you head on and you don't have a scratch!" Copter said in astonishment. Gator held up his map and it disintegrated in his hands. "Aw, nuts... Now how will we find the treasure?" he groaned. Spacey holstered his laser and pulled out a pair of smaller, sleeker pistols. "Blast you! Now my super laser needs to recharge! I'll just destroy you with my rapid-fire blasters!" he yelled. Copter gulped nervously. "I guess this kook's not messing around. Run for it!" he shouted. Copter and Gator frantically ran forward in a zigzag motion, avoiding Spacey's laser blasts as he followed them with his jetpack. This was soon interrupted by another laser blast coming from below! The shot didn't hit anything, but drew Spacey, Copter, and Gator's attention as Alpha flew up the side of the mountain. "Tee hee! I detected Power Stars! And yooooou didn't!" he said in a singsong voice. As he flew by, Spacey flew after him. "Stop! Those are mine!! Mine!!" he shouted. Copter began spinning his tails so he could join the chase. "Get back here, Alpha!" he yelled. Gator shrugged his shoulders and teleported to the next cliff ahead of them. Little did they know, Guard the Gargoyle was now following them as well. "Grrrr... What are they looking for? I'd better find out before I arrest them..." he said to himself.

News Brief! > Spacey is often trying to conquer various planets. He is sometimes seen wearing a bulky life support suit, but he seldom actually needs it.

They chased Alpha to the entrance to a cave by the cliff. Ray was there, holding a shovel. He'd dug a hole outside the cave, and an Egg Mobile was hovering over it. It was Eggman Nega! A beam of light came from the bottom of his Egg Mobile and went into the hole, pulling four Power Stars out of the hole and into his vehicle! In seconds, Eggman Nega was holding them in his hands. "So, these are the Power Stars? Thank you very much for finding them for me!" he said. Ray shook his fists at Eggman Nega angrily. "Hey, give those back! It took forever to dig those up!" he shouted. Gator pushed Ray aside. "No way, Ray! It's mine! Buried treasure is for pirates!" he insisted. Eggman Nega chuckled at them and pointed to Alpha. "You! Robot! Show these fools who's in charge!" he ordered. Alpha looked puzzled. "Gee, who IS in charge? It must be me! Gimme the stars, fatty!" he shouted. Eggman Nega grew furious at that. "WHAT DID YOU SAY!? How dare you try to order me around! What kind of stupid robots does my worthless counterpart keep making?" he yelled. Spacey laughed at this. "Ha ha ha! Earth robots are so primitive! Enough talk! Hand over the stars!" he said, aiming his lasers at Eggman Nega. Copter watched this unfold from behind the group, grinning at the way it was playing out. "Hmmm... Maybe they'll all knock each other out, and I can take the stars afterward!" he thought. This plan was soon ruined. "Grrrr!! Pirates, criminals, terrorists, and alien invaders! I hereby place you all under arrest!" shouted Guard, having seen and heard enough. "Oh, geez! The cops are here! I'd better grab the stars and scram!" Ray shouted, pushing Gator aside and jumping to grab the bottom of Eggman Nega's Egg Mobile. "Hey! Get off my ship! I need to blast you and all these other fools!" Nega shouted, moving his Egg Mobile back and forth in an attempt to shake Ray off. Meanwhile, Spacey began shooting at everyone, with Alpha shooting back. Gator jumped around, dodging their shots and taunting them. "You can't catch me! I bet you can't even catch you!" he teased. In the meantime, Copter had to deal with Guard. "You have the worst timing, Guard! Leave me alone!" he shouted, dodging Guard's scythe as he swung it around. "Grrrr, quiet! I'm taking you in this time!" Guard insisted. Suddenly, a laser shot through the area, forcing everyone to scatter! This shot was fired by Omega, and it was aimed at Eggman Nega, though he too had avoided it. "Eggman! I will destroy you!" Omega yelled. Alpha flipped around in midair, laughing at him. "That's no Eggdude! I don't even know who he is!" he said. Omega examined Eggman Nega's face. "Correction... Target is apparently NOT Eggman. However, resemblance is too close to ignore. Target likely knows where Eggman is located. Capture and interrogate!" he decided. Eggman Nega managed to shake Ray off of his ship and pressed buttons to extend lasers from the sides of his vehicle. "Another example of my counterpart's inferior technology. I'll just have to take you all apart!" he growled. "All? But I'm not a robot... Am I?" Gator wondered. "Where's Spizzy, Sable and White when I need them?" Ray wondered. "Enough! I will disintegrate all of you!" Spacey added. "Grrrr... Maybe I should have requested backup..." Guard muttered. Copter shook his head miserably. "I should've stayed and watched the Figure Skating..." he groaned.

The fighting resumed again, and soon so many lasers were shooting back and forth that it looked like a science fiction movie. Copter, Gator, and Ray were the only ones without any sort of laser, so Gator and Ray were busy fighting in the cave, leaving Copter in a dangerous situation, having to dodge lasers as well as Guard's scythe. The situation seemed unlikely to end well, but soon, a furious Gemini arrived on the scene! She glanced around at the brawling enemies, and growled angrily. "I'm not waiting for this to break up! I need to talk to Copter! Take this! Solare!!" Gemini fired powerful light beams at the enemies, picking them off one by one in her rage! She knocked over Guard, caused Alpha to crash into the cave and knock over Ray, blasted Spacey's jetpack so he went out of control, and made Eggman Nega drop the Power Stars as he spun out in the air! "She's... insane! And so are those robots! I'll have to return later! With more firepower!" Nega shouted, flying away in a hurry. Omega quickly started following him, followed by Alpha. "Stop!! Where is Eggman!?" Omega yelled. "Yeah, where's Eggplant?" Alpha added. Meanwhile, Spacey began flying away as well. "Flight system is damaged... I'll have to make repairs immediately!" he said. Ray exited the cave as Guard stood up, and they both glanced at Gemini, who looked quite angry. "Clear out, you! Before I get REALLY mad!" she growled. Ray immediately took off screaming, while Guard flew off ashamedly. "Grrr... Maybe the boss shouldn't hear about this..." he muttered. Copter looked at Gemini in awe as Punchy, Rainbow, and 2BIT caught up to her. "Th-that was incredible!" Copter said. "Never mind that!" Gemini snapped, "You couldn't even stick around to watch me in the figure skating contest? I watched you in the hockey thing! What do you have to say for yourself?!" Copter backed away nervously and tried to explain. "Well, uh... See, I was falling asleep until your turn, and I actually did watch you. You were... So beautiful that I woke up, and your beauty led me to spot that goofy knight and find these Power Stars..." he said. Gemini only seemed to get madder. "Oh, I'm so sure!! That's the cheesiest attempt at flattery I've ever heard! You jerk!" she shouted. Suddenly, Gator walked by, holding the four Power Stars in his hands. "Well, at least I got the treasure! Time to take it back to the ship and set sail!" he said, running off. "H-hey, Gator! I don't trust YOU with the stars! Get back here!" shouted Punchy, chasing after him. "Uh, me neither!" Copter added, joining the chase. Rainbow and Gemini watched them take off angrily. "Hey!! I didn't get to yell at you yet, Two!" Rainbow shouted. "And I'm not through with EITHER of you!!" Gemini added as they both took off after them. 2BIT followed worriedly. "I just know I'm gonna get caught in the crossfire somehow..." he whined.
