The Warriors emerged from the teleport about five feet above the ground, falling the remaining distance and landing on their butts. Once they recovered from the fall, Rachel ran to the group.
     "About time you got here," she complained, putting her hands on her hips.
     "Hey," Rei Hino shouted, "that's my line!"
     "Oh brother," Serena and Asuka sighed, "here we go again."
     "What's that supposed to mean?!" Rachel and Rei demanded. Sweat drops formed on Serena's and Asuka's heads.
     "So, do you have a plan?" Rachel asked, turning back to Alex and the others.
     "I have a small plan," Jordan replied, "Alex can use his Living Dead Rebirth power to revived our friends."
     "How?" Ami asked, "That takes a great deal of energy. Even Nichole has some trouble using it for a short amount of time, forget reviving as many as we've lost."
     "I've been training," Alex said, "So I should have the stamina. But the power will come from the chaos emeralds  and perhaps a power ring."
     "Isn't that dangerous?" Mina asked.
     "Not a mention a real drain on the emeralds?" Lita added.
     "Yeah, a bit," Alex said, "but consider I have three emeralds in each gauntlet and the seventh in the hilt of my sword, so they're spaced out."
     "Hey, where's Dan?" Asuka asked, looking for Warrior Sun.
     "He sort of blew himself up knocking out Unit 12," Bryan said, "but we plan to bring him back as well."
     "And those two?" Touji asked, pointing to Drew and Andrew.
     "Both are pretty messed up," John said, "we hope to heal them as well."
     "What should we do?" Rei asked, her voice calmer than usual.
     "Give me the crystals from the gauntlets and tiaras," Alex said. Alison tossed Alex the pouch containing the jewels. Joss tossed Alex the jewel from Dan's gauntlet and Alex added it to the pouch. "Now for my ring." Rachel returned Alex's class ring and star crystal to him. Once Alex had slipped it on his finger he crossed his arms in front of his body, arching his back, the jewels in his gauntlets and in the hilt of his sword glowing as he did this. The energy from the emeralds formed a ghostly sort of aura around his body, waves radiating from him. He spilled the jewels on the ground before him and prepared to invoke the power. Once the assorted emeralds glowed intensely he released the energy.
     "Saturn Living Dead Rebirth!"
     A small phoenix formed, flew around the jewels on the ground, and then vanished into sub space. Alex, on the other hand, concentrated, calling his friends back from the beyond and guiding the Phoenix to where their spirits rested.

     In the spirit world the Senshi and Warriors were not exactly enjoying their downtime. In essence they were battling the same demons the Star Senshi had battled in the past.
     "Dead Scream."
     "Moon Princess Halation!"
     "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
     "Jupiter Plasma Bolt Chain!"
     Pluto's sonic attack knocked the demon off balance while Neo - Sailor Moon's attack injured the beast. Venus' 3 chain attack not only bound the demon, but pierced the chest, injuring it severely. To finish it off the plasma whip wrapped around the demon and pumped it so full of energy it exploded.
     "Dusted!" the four shouted once the demon vanished.
     "But it won't be for long," Warrior Neptune said, "I've been through this before and more demons will appear shortly."
     As he said that the Phoenix arced over their heads. Warrior Pluto was the first to notice it, followed by Neptune, Draco, Venus, Jupiter, and eventually the others.
     "Do you think that's Alex's signal?" Warrior Night asked.
     "Possibly," Warrior Pluto said, 'Alex, you blockhead, what took you so long?'
     "Follow the Phoenix," Neo - Sailor Venus shouted, signaling for everyone to follow her as she took off after the fire bird.
     As the group of spirits followed the fire bird they came face to face with some evil spirits from their past, namely the four generals of the Negaverse and Queen Beryl's army.
     "Greetings sailor brats," Malachite chuckled, "fancy seeing you here."
     "Out of our way bleach boy," Neo - Sailor Venus shouted, her fingers glowing with energy, "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"
     The beam struck Malachite in his right shoulder, barely weakening him. In retaliation for injuring her love, Zoisite hurled some crystalline shards their way. Fortunately the shards were blocked by Warrior Sun's solar shield.
     "We need to get past them," Warrior Pegasus said.
     "We can cover that," Neo - Sailor Venus and Warrior Venus said, "Venus Melt My Heart STRIKE!"
     Six chains wrapped around the generals, holding them long enough for a good portion of the senshi to get past and follow the Phoenix. After an indeterminable period of time those who managed to get past the generals reached a brilliant circle of light.
     "One at a time," Warrior Pluto said, "One at a time." He then entered the light.

     "What the hell?!" Asuka exclaimed when a brilliant portal opened under the jewels.
     "They're on their way," Alex grunted through the haze of pain and weakness.
     "Alex, you need to stand down the power output," Sailor Mercury said, "the emeralds are going to overload and eventually kill you."
     "I... can't stop now. If I do then the portal will close and they won't make it through."
     As he said that Warrior Pluto emerged from the portal. Adderson and Shinji ran to the aid of their friend and fellow Eva pilot.
     "C'mon, C'mon, need more.... power."
     "What's he babbling about now?" Asuka asked.
     "Something about needing more power," Rei said, "might I suggest a power ring?"
     "Ayanami... you're a genius," Alex said, reaching beneath his armor and pulling the power ring from the hidden cache. He took the ring in both hands and harnessed the power, super charging his body and the emeralds. The portal opened wider, allowing Warrior Neptune and Neo - Sailor Venus to slip through. Following them were Warrior Venus and Neo - Sailor Jupiter. Warriors Night, Draco, and Pegasus soon followed. The minute Sailor Saturn was through the portal a large creature showed up and appeared to be searching for something... or someone.
     "What is it looking for?" Lita asked.
     "I don't know," Ami said, "I've never seen a creature like this who possessed rational thought."
     A beam of light emerged from the single eye and swept over the group, one by one. When it reached the unconscious Andrew a red light in its forehead glowed.
     "Uh - oh," Mina said, "This does NOT look good."
     "I agree with you Mina," Artemis said, "looks like there may be trouble."
     The creature proceeded to reach for Andrew, but was stopped by an energy discharge from Alex. When the creature tried again a second, larger burst struck the erring hand. The creature then turned its attention to Alex.
     "Touch him again and you're history," Alex growled, the strain of holding the portal open beginning to show on his face.
     The creature bellowed and raised a clawed hand to strike. When the hand came down it met with a force shield, courtesy of Nicole.
     "You owe me one," Nicole said sarcastically as she blocked the claw. Alex smiled at her. Once she turned her attention back to the creature she said to the rest of the group, "I could use some help here!"
     "Mars Napalm Bolo Engulf!"
     "Nitro Bubbles Blast!"
     "Venus Melt My Heart Strike!"
     "Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
     The four attacks distracted the creature long enough for Nicole to leap onto the creature's back and stab her glaive into it. A sudden power surge threw her into the air  and into the waiting arms of Warrior Hellfire. The creature, once free of the pain the glaive induced, returned to the task of attacking Alex.
     "C'mon guys," Alex mumbled as he held the portal opened, "Hurry back."

     In the spirit world the remaining Warriors were battling to get out of their private hell.
     "This blows," Sailor Starblaze said, striking at Zoisite with her katana.
     "We need to dispatch them," Warrior Dragon said, summoning his mystic animal. The Ice Dragon appeared in a flash of blue light and a flurry of snow. The great beast drew back its head before tossing it forward, breathing blue flames, which froze Nephlite and Jedite solid before shattering them. the dragon then vanished in a flash of blue light.
     "Way to go Dragon!" Warrior Oberon shouted, "Now it's my turn. Shadow Slay!"
     A wave of poison gas engulfed Zoisite and Malachite, stunning them long enough for the remaining Warriors to exit from the portal. Once they were out the portal slammed shut, sealing Zoisite, Malachite, Nephlite, Jadeite, and the other wandering spirits in the spirit world for eternity.

     The sudden shock of the portal closing knocked Alex unconscious, leaving him vulnerable to attack. Adderson and Rachel ran to his side, dodging incoming energy bolts as they ran. Spirit and Tara were at Alex's side before the two Warriors could get there.
     "Is he ok?" Adderson asked.
     "He's breathing normally and his pulse is steady," Tara said, "I think he overloaded his body trying to save his teammates and protect Andrew."
     "We're losing the battle," Rich said as he flew past on his way to slamming into a rock wall.
     "I wish I had my Eva," Touji  said from behind a rock outcropping.
     "Did someone call for backup?" a familiar voice asked. Everyone whipped around to see Misato, Ritsuko, Jubilee, and Roxy with Units 01, 03, 07, 11, and 02, all battle ready.
     "About time you got here," Asuka sneered, "What took you so long?!"
     "It's difficult work to repair Evas on such short notice," Ritsuko sighed, "It was even more difficult without a whole team of engineers to do the work. And don't get me started on opening a portal."
     "Who's going to pilot Unit 11?" Rei asked, "Alex is unconscious."
     "Why don't you pilot Unit 11?" Misato suggested, "I don't think Alex would mind."
     "Don't just stand around chatting," Warrior Mars shouted, "we're having a bit of trouble!"
     Those who were attending Alex turned to see the Warriors and Senshi engaged in mortal combat with the creature, utilizing their powers to the best of their abilities and yet the attacks were being deflected by a force field of some sort.
     "Break off attack and return to home base," Alex moaned, "Misato, are the Evas prepped?"
     "Um... yeah," Misato stammered, shocked to see Alex awake after such a severe power drain, "but you're in no condition to fight."
     "Like hell I'm not," Alex growled, regaining his feet and using his glaive as a crutch, "How's Drew and Andrew?"
     "Just groovy," Drew moaned, sitting up and leaning back on his hands, "what the hell hit me?"
     "You're better off not knowing," Ritsuko said, checking his stats.
     "Is he going to be ok?" Drew asked, motioning to Andrew.
     "Unit 12's head was knocked clear off so he's going to be out of it for a while," Adderson said, lifting Drew to his feet," Right now we need to get to the Evas."
     "Let's rock!" Rei said as she, Asuka, Shinji, and Touji joined the group.
     "All Warriors and Senshi except for the inner senshi and the Star Warriors fall back to the portal!" Derek shouted. Alex took a minute to kick Derek in the shin for giving the command he wanted to give. Once the majority of the Sailor Soldiers and Warriors were out of danger, Alex charged at the creature, only to crash face first into a force shield.
     "He's out of it again," Misato said, running to pull Alex to safety.
     "Stop the world, I wanna throw up," Alex mumbled.
     "Where are the children?" Misato asked when she returned to Ritsuko.
     "No idea," Ritsuko said, peeking her head up from a computer board, "I thought they were with you."
     "We're at the Evas," Asuka's voice said over Alex's communicator.
     Misato and Ritsuko looked up to see Asuka on Unit 11's shoulder and immediately face faulted.
     "They wouldn't.... " Misato began to say.
     "They did," Ritsuko interjected.

     "Plug system is active."
     "All connections are normal."
     "Life support systems are up and running."
     "Power cells are at maximum."
     "Everything across the board is reading green."
     "INJECT THE PLUGS!"
     The entry plugs of Units 01, 03, 07, and 11 rotated as they locked into the Evas. The locks secured and the armor plating locked over the entrance. Several sets of eyes glowed as energy flowed through all joints and extremities. The four Evangelion units came to life and started moving towards the creature.
     "Be careful," Sailor Mercury said over the communicator, "this particular creature is a combination of many of the past Angels, not to mention the Evas."
     "WHAT?!" Asuka and Shinji exclaimed simultaneously, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"  Just then the creature produced a pair of energy tentacles, which it snapped towards Unit 07.
     "Oh shit!" Adderson exclaimed, powering his AT Field to max. The tentacles struck the AT Field with such force that Unit 07 was throws onto its butt.
     "Eat this angel!" Rei screamed as she lunged at the creature in Unit 11, the progressive sword glowing unnaturally with energy.
     "I thought Asuka was piloting Unit 11," Drew said.
     "I am you idiot!" Asuka snarled, "Well, technically I'm co- piloting, but I'm in here and Rei is kicking royal butt!"
     "We can see that," Touji said as everyone observed Unit 11 slashing the tentacles off of the creature.
     "Do you think Rei is stable?" Derek asked.
     "Hard to say," Adderson said, "Shinji, has Rei ever freaked out like this before?"
     "Not that I know of," Shinji said. His tone quickly changed when he saw the angel moving in to attack. "Hey, watch your left flank!"
     Unit 07 dodged to the right as an energy beam blazed by, singing the paint on the armor. Adderson retaliated quickly, Unit 07 taking its progressive axe and hurling it in the direction of the energy beam. Unfortunately the axe strike was followed by a lot of cursing from Rei and Asuka.
     "You knuckle head!" Rei screamed, "That came from Unit 11. We were firing at the angel and it deflected the beam!"
     'Woah, Rei is pissed,' Derek thought privately, 'She must have been around Asuka too long, because usually she's incredibly quiet.'
     "Oh NOOOO!" Asuka screamed. Then Unit 11 went silent.

     "What.... what happened?" Alex asked when his psychic connection to Unit 11 ceased.
     "We're not sure," Misato said, "Ritsuko, Ami, do you have anything for me?"
     "We're working on it," the duo said. "This does not look good," Ami said after a minute, "Unit 11's power is being drained by the angel. Subsequently, the angel's AT Field is increasing in strength."
     "Peachy," Andrew mumbled from his cot, "where the hell am I?"
     "The world of Mana," Alex answered, "how do you feel, knuckle head?"
     "Like there's a herd of angels performing a cabaret in my brain. How did you manage to free me? And where are my clothes?" he added, looking under his blanket. He flushed red and pulled the blanket tightly around his body.
     "We managed to free you from that evil spell and evil spirit," Alex said, "When the spirit left your body it took your armor with it. When we dusted the spirit we dusted the armor."
     "Good riddance. Now, does anybody have some spare clothes?"
     "Here," Misato said, giving Andrew a package marked with an expiration date and the words sealed for your protection.
     "What's this?" Andrew asked, turning the package this way and that.
     "One of Touji's spare plug suits. It should fit you and it should hold you over until we get you some real clothes."
     "Thanks," Andrew said, tearing open the package and straightening out the plug suit. He was about to pull the blanket away when he realized Misato was watching him. "Can I get some privacy please?"
     "Um... yeah... sure," Misato stammered, standing up and pulling a curtain back so Andrew wasn't so exposed. Through the curtain Misato and Alex could see Andrew's silhouette as he pulled the blanket back and slipped into the plug suit. Once he was in he clicked the button on his wrist and there was an audible hiss as the suit shrank to fit. He then pulled the curtain back and stepped into the main room.
     "How do I look?" he asked.
     "Pretty good," Alex said.
     "What's the status of Unit 11?" Misato asked, calling to Ritsuko, Maya, and Ami.
     "Unit 11 is almost drained of energy," Maya replied, "this angel's power keeps increasing!"
     "Unit 07 is set for heavy firing," Ritsuko said, "particle wave cannon is up and running."
     "Safety off," Adderson's voice boomed over the speakers, "sniper sight is active. Targeting computer reads everything nominal. The angel is in sight. Here... it... GOES!"
     Unit 07 pulled the trigger, releasing the energy build up. The beam struck the angel full force, but the AT Field absorbed and redirected the beam back at Unit 07, blowing up the cannon and knocking the Eva down.
     "Damnit," Adderson cursed, "I'm going to try something I learned from Alex."
     Those in the make shift control center observed Unit 07 raising its right arm into the air. A ring of energy formed at the elbow and circled upwards until it was floating above the palm. The ring quickly expanded into a large energy saw blade, which spun at an incredible velocity.
     "What the hell?!" Misato, Ritsuko, and Maya exclaimed when they saw the new ability the Eva possessed.
     "The Destructo Disc," Alex snarled, "that's MY attack!!"
     "Not any more," Derek said over Unit 07's communicator, "Adderson here just perfected it."
     "ENGAGE!" Adderson shouted, causing Alex to wince. Unit 07 hurled the disc at the angel. The blade appeared to phase through the angel's left shoulder, but when beams of light shot from where the blade phased through they could tell it was dead on target. The angel's left arm dropped to the ground, completely useless to anyone now.
     "Nice shooting!" everyone in the control center cheered.
     "AT Field strength down by 50 percent," Ami reported, "Evas, draw back and let the Warriors finish this one off."
     "Unit 01 drawing back."
     "Unit 03 also falling back."
     "Unit 07 drawing back and being reabsorbed."
     "Unit 11 is not going to fall back," Rei said, startling everyone.
     "WHAT?!" Misato exclaimed, "Rei Ayanami, you haul butt back to base this instant!"
     "She's not listening," Asuka said, "she's shut you out and she is now off to vanquish this angel."
     "Unit 11 is too weak to finish the angel," Roxy reported.
     "Over 80 percent of its energy reserves are drained," Maya added, "there's 0.0003 percent chance of Unit 11 being able to slay the angel."
     "Prep Unit 02," Alex and Andrew said, "We're gonna bag us an angel."
     "Heavy fire power, and add a lance for support," Alex said.
     "Are you two sure you can handle Unit 02?" Misato asked. The pair looked at one another, then at Misato and nodded. Misato turned to the other people in the control room and said, "Prep Unit 02 on the double!"

     "Life support is online."
     "Power cells are at full capacity."
     "All servos and hydraulics report a - ok."
     "Your synch ratios are in the 70 percent range, so you're ready to go."
     "INJECT THE PLUG!"
     Unit 02's entry plug revolved as it locked into place. The plug cover and back armor locked into place over the entry plug, protecting it and securing it. the two pairs of eyes glowed as energy surged into every vital point in the body.  Once Unit 02 was "alive" and control had the vital signs on the pilots Alex gave the command to move out.
     The red juggernaut took off at a dead run, the plasma cannon on its left shoulder fully charged, the lance in its right hand sharp as diamonds. Unit 02 quickly caught up to Unit 11, which was in the process of reabsorbing energy from the angel.
     "Asuka, Rei, do you copy?" Alex asked over the communicator.
     "I copy," Asuka said, her face appearing on a side screen, "boy, am I glad to see you guys. Rei has completely lost it."
     "What's your current status?"
     "We're absorbing energy from the angel too fast. Energy cells three through twelve are off-line. Reserve batteries are toasted and about half the systems are off-line."
     "Why didn't you take over control of Unit 11?" Andrew asked.
     "Rei's part angel. She erected an AT Field, which is blocking me out.
     "Great," Alex groaned, shutting off communications, "If we don't stop Rei then my Eva is history."
     Just then Alex noticed Andrew's fingers flying over a keyboard. Alex craned his neck and saw that Andrew was working on punching up the plug ejection codes for Unit 11. Unfortunately he wasn't having much luck hacking through the systems and entering the correct code.
     "What the?" Alex gasped.
     "C'mon, damnit, what is the right code?" Andrew growled, absorbed in his task.
     "Beta 7 Alpha 10 Gamma Omega 3," Alex recited. Andrew snapped around so fast that Alex fell backwards into his seat.
     "Is that the eject code?"
     "Yeah, it's my Eva so I should know the code."
     Andrew punched the code into the computer and the message 'Press ENTER to eject Unit 11 entry plug' came up on the screen.
     "Shall we?" Andrew asked, a devilish glimmer in his eye.
     "Let's," Alex said, reaching over and punching the ENTER key. There was a plume of smoke as the back armor of Unit 11 was blown free of the Eva. A couple seconds later the entry plug ejected, rocketing away from the body at a rapid rate. Unit 11's lifeless body collapsed in a heap of armor and limbs. The angel looked at the heap of junk, then at Unit 02, then at the heap of junk one more time before picking up Unit 11 and hurling it at Unit 02. The force of the impact threw Unit 02 into a mountain side. The angel then waited for Unit 02 to move.
     Andrew: "Energy tanks are off-line!"
     Alex: "Subsystems are critical!"
     Andrew: "Emergency backups aren't responding!"
     Alex: "Life support is red lining!"
     Andrew: "We're screwed, aren't we?"
     Alex: "Oh yeah, we might as well bend over and kiss our butts good-bye!"
     Andrew: "Hell yeah. Our only hope is Unit 12."
     Alex: "Isn't the body somewhere in the forest, and missing the head at that?"
     Andrew: "Good point. We teleport after we set the self destruct here."
     Alex: "Why not set the self destruct and teleport to Unit 11?"
     Andrew: "Unit 11 doesn't have an entry plug, you idiot!"
     Alex: "Kaworu didn't need an entry plug when it took over Unit 02's mind."
     Andrew: "WHO?!"
     Alex: "Never mind. Let's just teleport out and go from there."
     There were two shimmers and the pair in Unit 02's entry plug teleported outside and on top of Unit 11's battered body. The pair stood on the shoulder and Alex reached out to Unit 11's "mind".
 'Gentle giant, please help us in our hour of need.'
     The eyes glowed and the giant mecha roared to life, righting itself and looking at the angel in disgust. Unit 11 held out its right hand and an energy glaive formed. Unit 11 spun the glaive around and held it before its body. From the glaive the AT Field unfolded, a high pitched whine filling the air. Once the AT Field was erected the duo watched as Unit 02 leapt into the air and wrapped itself around the angel. The half dead eyes glowed a brilliant red before Unit 02 exploded, destroying the angel instantly.
     "How's that for timing?" Alex asked, turning to Andrew.
     "Very impressive," Andrew said, "I must admit you do some of your best work under pressure."
     Alex blushed and Unit 11 glowed a brilliant violet before returning to Alex's armor. The two who had been hitching a ride on Unit 11's shoulder slowly descended to the ground for a perfect 3 point landing. Once they were on level ground again Alex's communicator beeped.
     "Yeah, Saturn here," Alex said, opening the channel.
     "What's the status of Unit 02?" Misato asked.
     "You're not going to like this," Andrew said, "Unit 02 self destructed."
     "But on the upside we vanquished the angel," Alex added.
     "Oh brother. Commander Ikari's gonna kill me!" Misato moaned.
     "You'll make it," Alex said, "Unit 02 was built to destroy angels, and that's exactly what it did: it destroyed an angel."
     "Yeah, you'll sweet talk yourself out of this situation," Andrew said.
     "Whatever," Misato said, "teleport back to the command center. And Andrew, we have some real clothes waiting for you."
     "Be there in a minute," Alex said, ending the transmission, "Iron Ring TELEPORT!"
     Rings of iron formed around the pair, spanning their height and eventually disintegrating them in a flash of light. A matter of seconds later several more rings of iron appeared near central command, reintegrating the pair into normal space. Once their bodies reformed and the rings faded they could tell something was very wrong.
     "Where is everyone?" Andrew asked.
     "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this," Alex said. As if on cue an entire army of MiB agents leapt from the bushes and trees and surrounded the pair.
     "Revert back to your mortal status and you won't be harmed," one agent said, pointing a plasma rifle at Alex.
     "Never," Alex growled, producing his glaive and spinning it around before pointing it at the MiB, "Where are our friends?!"
     "They're being... detained... at the moment," the agent said, "Now surrender before I do something I'll regret later."
     From the woods came, "Andrew! Heads up!" and a wand of gold, forest green, and brown flew through the air. Andrew caught the pen, held it up to the sky, and shouted, "Orion Nova POWER!"
     From the pen erupted a ray of light, which formed a full circle. The circle started at Andrew's head, then spanned his body to his feet, where it touched the ground. The rings then spanned his body upward once more. Starting with the brown boots, the ring formed his outfit and armor. When the ring reached the top of his head it vanished in a shower of stardust. When the glimmer died away everyone witnessed Warrior Orion.
     "Woah, I'm a Warrior once again," Andrew said, checking out his forest green armor, brown under shirt, dark brown slacks, dark brown boots, and gold, green, and brown gauntlets. He also checked out the scabbard on his hip. He reached behind his back and unclipped a golden bow, which unfolded into a very powerful compound bow. He took a golden arrow from the quiver on his back, notched it into the bow, and drew back the string. As he drew back the arrow, energy collected around the arrow head until a small orb formed. Orion and Saturn then leapt into the air, each ready to attack.
     "Orion Nova Explosion!"
     "Giga Crisis!"
     Andrew released the arrow, which landed in the middle of the crowd of MiB agents. The energy which was collected in the arrow head exploded, forming an expanding wave which vaporized many of the agents. Alex collected energy around his body, forming a ghostly aura. He then released the energy in a wave which added to Orion's attack and ended up vaporizing the remaining agents.
     "Nice shooting," Alex said, "we nuked them!"
     From the piles of ashes came hundreds of glowing orbs, all of which reformed into Men in Black. Alex's and Andrew's jaws hit the ground.
     "What... the hell?" Alex gasped.
     "Green dreams... one time auto reanimate," the lead agent said, "pretty funky, huh. We have enough of these to revive our ranks ten times over."
     "We're gonna need more fire power," Andrew said, backing up to Alex.
     "We're going to need some green dreams also," Alex sighed, "too bad I used mine a while back."
     "You said you can copy abilities, right?"
     "Yeah. Why?"
     "Can you copy summonses?"
     "I can try, and I have the perfect one for this situation."
     Alex closed his eyes, put one hand to his temple, and began to chant the spell.
     "Thirteen knights, thirteen strikes, thirteen swords for thirteen words. Knights of the Round!"
     There was an intense flash of light as a portal opened and thirteen giant knights emerged. Each swung his weapon 13 times, making for a total of 169 strikes. When the dust settled and the knights vanished the countryside was in chaos, as were the ranks of the MiB.
     "They're not going to stay down for long," Andrew observed, making a mental note of how long it took before the green dreams activated.
     "That gives us just enough time to go airborne," Alex said, a familiar energy field emerging from his body. The energy field erupted into the Phoenix, which took to the air at breakneck speed. The Phoenix then tore through the sky while its passengers worked on figuring out where their friends were.
     "I can't get a lock on them in the world of Mana," Andrew said.
     "Try outside this world," Alex said, "They have to be someplace."
     "Ok, I've located them. They're in the Amazon rain forest."
     "Then we're there with them," Alex said, "Phoenix Warp!"
     The fire bird lurched forward at Mach 2, vanishing in a brilliant flash of light. The next stop: The Amazon rain forest on Earth.

     "In our next episode Alex and Andrew battle the MiB to rescue their friends. Before the day is finished, though, they're going to discover that one shouldn't go into battle without all the information. Stay tuned for 'The Rescue' and you should get more fan service."
