Meanwhile, Reidak is still searching for a suitable host body for Makuta. He's not having any luck.

He chuckles, no hint of amusement in his voice. "And yet again, Makuta is ordering us around even though he doesn't have a body...at least he's not being sneaky about it."

And then Reidak sighs. Honestly, he feels envious for all the Reidaks that hadn't gotten portalled out of their universe and split from the Golden Being back into their seperate components (mostly. He knows for a fact there were others involved in the making of the Golden Being, and yet they haven't shown up anywhere...) three years ago. Three years ago, although he hadn't really been himself - none of them were - he'd been a god...untilt that portal showed up. It'd taken a while to regain his memories from that time, but by the time he'd fully recovered, he and the other Piraka felt on top of the world, so while they did miss that time, they didn't exactly care that much.

And then the heroes broke out, and for the following year, the Piraka just kept being the lackies for whatever new force decided to show their faces. Zaktan may have remained loyal to the Enchantress for some reason, but she's dead now, so Reidak is fairly sure that Zaktan's going to get caught in the current with the rest of them. Well, two of them.

Sad, really, how far they've fallen. Reidak then shakes his head, gets back to work...

And stops in his tracks when he sees a Ninja Player standing right in front of him.

"Uh-"

And then he gets hit with a blue shuriken, the weapon sinking into his body without leaving any trace. Reidak's eyes roll back, and he hits the floor as he falls unconscious.

Avak hears the thump, and groans in frustration. "Dammit, Reidak..."

He gets up, heading for the hall, only to quickly back away as he sees three Ninja Players ready for him. "What the-what part of Karzahni did you come fro-"

The windows shatter as dozens and dozens of Ninja Players start to burst in, Kamen Rider Fuma himself bursting through the entrance to the lost Legion base. Because of course he hadn't gone with the heroes.

Avak keeps backtracking as Cronus notices the Ninja Player army coming in. Sighing, Cronus reaches for the two buttons on the Bugvisor 2...

Just as Avak accidentally bumps Double and Meltdown as he backtracks.

Double immediately snaps awake, takes in the situation for a few seconds, and then lunges at Cronus, quickly turning into her more monstrous form to restrain the man before reaching for the Taddle Chronicle Gashat plugged into the Bugvisor 2 and pulling. It's quickly made apparent that unplugging the thing is harder than it may first appear; the Bugvisor 2 itself actively works to pull the Gashat back all the way in, runes flaring over Cronus' armor as purple lightning travels from the Gashat to Double, shocking her. However, while painful, the shocks are nothing compared to receiving a Warning so painful it left her an inch from death and then getting sent flying from the blast of a less fortunate ally getting Judged, so Double works past the shocks and the pull and successfully unplugs the Taddle Chronicle Gashat, detransforming Cronus.

Avak stares wide-eyed at this, but if he'd been paying attention to the figure below him, he might've noticed that Meltdown woke up too, albeit not as fast as Double...and that quickly bites Avak in the ass when Meltdown grabs his leg. Avak screams in agony as Meltdown lets go after a few seconds, the damage already being done.

Kamen Rider Fuma enters the room. Cronus stands there for a moment, shocked that for once in three years someone actually managed to get to his belt, and then reaches for the Bugvisor 2, only to have it snatched out of his hands by Double.

''"Well then..." ''Double grins, looking at the room around her. "A former man without his toys, a crippled jailer, and a warrior with no body to fight with-"

"The Earth one was in the halls." Fuma interrupts as five Ninja Players drag in Reidak.

''"...and a brute trapped in a world where he must fight to survive." ''Double adds on. "An intriguing group to be sure...and not one in any position to negotiate."

Fuma nods in agreement. "Exactly. Now, Masamune Dan, teleport us to the Hero Planet so that we may retrieve-"

''"Actually, I don't believe we'll be doing that." ''Double states.

Fuma looks at Double, his expression unreadable behind his helmet.

''"A god just delivered his Judgement. It even hit people he never met, and it was across the omniverse." ''Double starts. "If half of the things Dimentio's claimed to have done are true, then he's dead."

Cronus would question who the hell Dimentio is, but keeps silent.

"...No." Fuma mutters. "No, no, he can't be dead...I let that clown turn what was meant to be my daughter's paradise into a living hell; I've practically sold my soul just so that he can heal my daughter; he can't be dead, he can't be dead, I couldn't have sent thousands of innocent people into a virtual hell for NOTHING-"

''"Calm yourself, Nagumo." ''Double interrupts. "We don't need Dimentio to achieve our goals. He was simply a convenient way to get them faster. We can easily do what we desire on our own."

Fuma looks Double in the eyes. "And how, exactly, do you propose we stop my daughter from dying?"

Double laughs. "I'm a shapeshifter. And the tales Dimentio has told me gives me plenty of options to heal your daughter...quite frankly, that's the easier part."

Fuma is silent, not arguing with Double's logic, but fuming on the inside.

''"We won't need any help for that. No, first, we're going to do something a bit more...challenging." ''Double turns to Cronus, a wicked smirk on her face.

Elsewhere, Emily looks outside the window of the ship to see the loads of Dinobots in the city. She blinks, eyes widening in surprise.

And then Sari comes out of the Proto Pod, groaning. "Agh, headache...so, what..."

She trails off upon seeing the Dinobots. Her jaw drops.
