Early in the morning ten days later, the members of the empire met in the room with the large monitor. With them this day was a man with light olive skin, dark hair and dark brown eyes. Under one of eyes was a scar, most likely an affect of the explosion.
“Dude, it’s 4 am,” the man groaned. “Who orders all of us to wake up at 4 am to meet in this room?”
“I wouldn’t complain, Sceptile,” Batteryman replied with a yawn. “If one of Organization G-X wants us up this early, it must be important.”
“Organization G-X?” Sceptile asked. “What’s that?”
“They’re our leaders, idiot,” Omega answered with a growl. “Got it memorized?”
“I guess…”
“So who’s coming?” Gaarafan asked.
“Maybe it’s Kudamon,” Latios suggested.
“Kudamon?!” Sceptile responded, eyes wide open. “That crazed, Grovyle-fanatic is our leader?!”
“ENOUGH!” shouted a sinister voice from what appeared to be nowhere.
“Uh, who said that?” Starr inquired hesitantly.
All eyes had turned towards Traveler.
“What?!” Traveler responded. “It wasn’t me. It was…”
At that moment, a large, black-clouded pillar shot into the center of the room. Everyone focused their attention on the pillar as it evaporated, revealing Lord X-Giga-X.
“Lord X-Giga-X,” Omega gasped in awe. “You’re back.”
“Yeah…” Traveler replied. “But a bit too early.”
“I had to take time out of the domination business,” Lord X-Giga-X responded. “There’s a troubling issue that we must deal with.”
Lord X-Giga-X then turned his attention to the other members of the empire, all of whom simply saluted, except Sceptile.
“Sceptile, show your leader some respect,” Omega growled.
“Oh, sorry sir,” Sceptile apologized, immediately saluting his leader.
“Right,” Lord X-Giga-X muttered. “At ease, troops.”
“So what’s the problem sir?” Batteryman asked.
“The problem was that that one of Organization G-X has gone missing,” Lord X-Giga-X answered.
“But how can you be missing if you’re right here?” Starr asked.
Aero slapped his face with his palm.
“Not Lord X-Giga-X, you twit,” Traveler answered.
“Oh,” Starr responded, her voice lowered.
“Who is missing then, sir?” Gaarafan asked Lord X-Giga-X.
“It’s Zadon,” Lord X-Giga-X answered. “Yesterday, I called in a conference with the other leaders. Zadon, however, was absent. I figured something was wrong, but I fear that this could be a trap, for if one of the six of us attempt to look for him-”
“Six?” Traveler inquired in astonishment. “Not to interrupt sir, but I thought that besides Zadon, there were five of you.”
“We’ve had someone promoted into the Organization,” Lord X-Giga-X answered.
“I see,” Traveler replied. “Please continue.”
“Thank you.” Lord X-Giga-X resumed his story.
“As I was saying, I feared that if one of the six of us were to attempt to seek him out, we could find ourselves in whatever condition he might be in.”
“This is a troubling matter,” Omega replied. “Action must be taken.”
“Exactly,” Lord X-Giga-X continued. “Now, I need four of you to go to Mexico and locate a man named Rayzer. He was the last person to see Zadon before his disappearance.”
At that moment, he turned on the monitor, showing a tall, thin man wearing a golf hat covering short combed-over black hair, jeans, a black shirt, a black jacket with a high collar, brown loafers and giant black headphones. The man also had claws and ears similar to those of a Sableye.
“You are to find this man, as he might have information you need to find Zadon. They were last seen in Mexico City, so you should search there.”
He then turned off the monitor.
“So, who wants to go on this potentially dangerous mission?”
“I’ll volunteer for this mission, sir,” Batteryman responded.
“Count me in this, too” Aero replied.
“Let’s throw these two onto this group,” Traveler suggested, pointing at Light and Starr who were drinking lemonade from cups.
At that instant, Omega knocked the cups from their hands, and lemonade splashed upon members.
“Hey, what was that for?!” Light shouted. “I was almost done with that!”
“I don’t think we were supposed to,” Starr answered.
“Then why did you talk me into this Starr?”
“You idiot, this was your idea.”
“Oh…… right….”
“Okay you two,” Lord X-Giga-X order the two of them. “You are to go to Mexico City with Batteryman and Aero.”
“Why me, sir?” Light complained.
“Because you weren’t paying attention to him, and neither was I thanks to you,” Starr groaned. “But whatever, we have no choice, so let’s go.”
“Aw man….”

At the facility, Magma King and Pyro were staring at Fangking, who had an angry expression on his face.
“I thought I told you guys to keep an eye on him,” Fangking shouted. “Yet somehow, he escapes!”
“We’re sorry sir,” Magma King responded with a worried expression on his face.
“I’m not,” Pyro admitted. “That guy was no help at all. It’s not like he was of any real use to us.”
At that moment, Pyro was hit with what appeared to be a shark’s tooth.
“He was our only link to the Organization and you let him go!” Fangking yelled.
“Whoa, calm down,” Pyro muttered.
“Relax sir,” Magma King replied. “We have sent Nyumi and Sting to go search for him. He won’t get very far without running into them. Not only that, but I have received word that the trap in Mexico worked.”
“Excellent,” Fangking grinned. “At least something is working right. Oh, and one more question: Who exactly is in charge of the tower while Organization G-X is away?”
“I don’t know sir,” Magma King asked.
“Very well,” Fangking muttered. “The two of you may leave now.”
At that moment, Pyro and Magma King both exited the room, leaving Fangking to his thoughts.
What an enigma your Organization has left for me to solve, Fangking thought. But by all means, I WILL stop you, Acento Bane…

Minutes later, Traveler entered another room in the tower, with Batteryman, Aero, Starr and Light following him. Inside the room was a teleportation arch.
“So when did this thing get here?” Aero asked.
“I have no idea,” Traveler admitted. “I had walked into this room one day to find, and a note that said, ‘Don’t try to find me, or your mission is in jeopardy.’”
“Mysterious,” Starr gasped.
“Anyways,” Traveler responded in an attempt to change the subject,” you are to use this teleportation arch to go to Mexico City. Once there, you will complete the mission.”
“Okay, but just one question,” Starr asked. “Once we finish the mission, how will we get back here?”
“I’ve come up with an answer for that,” Traveler answered. He walked to a corner and picked up a briefcase.
“So, our way back is a briefcase?” Light inquired, raising an eyebrow.
“Our way back is in the briefcase, nutcase,” Batteryman responded, rather annoyed.
“You’re the nutcase,” Light responded.
“Enough,” Traveler growled.
“Sorry,” Light replied.
At that moment, Traveler opened the briefcase. He reached into the briefcase and pulled out four golden belts. He then gave the belts to Starr, Batteryman, Aero and Light.
“These belts,” Traveler explained, are locked onto this teleportation arch, and when activated, can teleport you four back here.”
“Okay, that makes sense,” Starr replied.
“Can I get one in purple?” Light answered.
“Oh brother,” Traveler groaned, pinching his fore head.
At that moment, Batteryman walked over to a control console next to the teleportation arch and pressed a red button. Soon after, the arch activated, producing a large portal.
“Alright, now let’s do this!” Aero exclaimed, flying straight into the portal while dropping his belt.
“Uh, he forgot his belt,” Starr muttered as she put her belt on.
“Great,” Light groaned with his belt wrapped around his forehead.
Annoyed beyond belief, Traveler then grabbed Light and threw him into the portal.
“….. Yeah, I’m gonna go,” Batteryman responded as he picked Aero’s belt from the floor after placing his around his waist.
Batteryman then entered the portal, followed by Starr. After Starr entered the portal, the arch deactivated, and the portal disappeared.
“Finally, they’re gone,” Traveler sighed as he began to walk out of the room.

Elsewhere in the city, Sting and Nyumi were chasing a man in a silver cloak. The cloaked man had an unusually big hump on his back.
“Geez, you’d think he’d make it less easy for him to find,” Nyumi remarked.
“Screw that,” Sting responded. “We can’t let him get away from us!”
“Just how did he manage to escape from Fangking’s top agents anyway?” Nyumi inquired.
“Who cares? I just don’t want to be in their shoes.”
“And that’s because…”
“This is something that Fangking would be highly pissed about.”

Minutes later in Mexico City, Batteryman was peeling Light off a wall.
“I swear, Kudamon has strange friends,” he groaned.
“I heard of one of them,” Aero commented. “It was a guy by the name of Flimzy, if I’m not mistaken. Kudamon used to complain about him back at the facility during the pre-explosion days.”
“Whatever,” Starr responded, rolling her eyes. “Let’s just save our leader.”
At that moment, the four of them began to hear what appeared to be gunfire.
“Hmm,” Batteryman replied. “That sounds like something we should investigate.”
Suddenly, a large green object zoomed past them.
“What the hell was that?!” Aero exclaimed in astonishment.
At that instant, Light was hit by a zooming man. Upon closer inspection, however, the man appeared to be Craz-E.
“Whoa, Craz-E,” Starr yelled. “Watch where you’re flying!”
“Oh hey guys,” Craz-E groaned.
“What happened to you?” Batteryman asked him.
“There’s been a sudden hunt for people with powers,” Craz-E answered. “It was issued two days ago.”
“Can you get off of me?” Light asked.
“Later.” Craz-E continued his story. “Anyways, they’ve been on the hunt for me and some other guy. We were both ambushed by a bunch of soldiers just a few minutes ago.”
“Hey,” Aero whispered to Batteryman. “This guy he’s talking about may be who we’re trying to find.”
“Okay, so which way did you come from?” Batteryman asked.
Craz-E jumped off of Light and pointed towards the east.
“Thanks,” Aero replied, flying towards the east, followed by Batteryman and Light.
“See you later, Pickle,” Starr replied, following the three of them.
Craz-E then reached into his void and pulled out a taco.
“All this running around makes a man hungry,” he sighed, biting on the taco.

The group arrived in a large area of the city. To their surprise, the ground was covered with the unconscious bodies of soldiers. Stand amongst the bodies was a man whom accurately fit the appearance of the man they were looking for.
“Hey you,” Batteryman approached the man. “Are you Rayzer?”
The man turned towards Batteryman and the others. He extended his arm towards them.
“Whoa, hold on!” Aero shouted. “We’re on your side. Relax.”
The man then lowered his arm.
“Yes,” the man answered. “I am Rayzer. Forgive me, but I thought you were one of these guys. I tried to reason with them in an attempt to reverse this crazy Anti-Mutant Act, but to no avail.”
“That sucks,” Starr muttered.
“The act released three days after some other guy was caught,” Rayzer explained. “He was turning everything into gold, or so they say.”
Aero’s eyes widened at that point.
“That’s Zadon!” he exclaimed.
“So you know where he is?” Light asked.
“Fortunately, yes,” Rayzer answered. “The new military base is not too far from here. I can take you there.”
At that moment, Batteryman shot an arrow of lightning around Rayzer. The arrow hit a soldier that tried to sneak up on them.
“Whoa,” Rayzer gasped, looking at the guard, who fell to the ground.
“Anyways, can you show us where this military base is?” Starr asked.
“Yeah, follow me.” Rayzer began to walk away, the others following him.
“Talk about helpful,” Batteryman whispered to Aero.

An hour later, the group approached a large, fenced area in the middle of an otherwise desolate plain. Inside the fenced area were numerous tanks, military jets, and a flat building in the middle of it.
“This is where all people with powers have been taken,” Rayzer grunted.
“Chances are that Zadon is here,” Batteryman responded.
“Hey, now I remember,” Rayzer realized. “These soldiers were hired by someone to capture Zadon. I had witnessed the trap being set up, and was able to warn him. But his powers stopped working for some reason, and the soldiers captured him.”
“But who would hire these guys to do such a thing?” Light inquired.
“Let me go get some answers,” Aero suggested, taking off into the fenced area.

A minute had passed before Aero returned with a furled flag in his arm.
“What’s with the flag?” Rayzer asked.
“It’s a dead giveaway of the mysterious person who hired these guys,” Aero answered as he began to unfurl the flag onto the ground.
The flag itself was striped with red, blue and black. In the center of the flag were the initials “FΩ”.
“I don’t believe it,” Batteryman gasped.
“What, is the flag old, thus we have to burn it?” Light inquired.
“It might as well be burned,” Batteryman answered. “These soldiers were hired by Fangking.”
At that moment, Batteryman charged his fist with electricity, and punched a hole in the fence.
“We should hurry,” he grunted.
“Can we get something to eat first?” Light asked as everyone else climbed through the hole.
“NO!” Aero shouted.
“Aw man….”
