   The Nessie gigaclone was sailing in through the lake, arriving closer and closer to the spot where the miniforce were at. Suzy had taken a break from fishing, and decided to lay back and relax, browsing clothes and makeup and whatnot on her phone. Max had fallen asleep—duh—and he had ate at least three burgers. Obviously hungry, the three burgers he ate were the last of their lunch. Leo had now caught more than thirty-two fish of different kinds—koi, trouts, bluegills, freshwater salmon, and even a couple catfish.
   Sammy sighed heavily as he scanned Volt. The blue squirrel—as dumb as ever—was starting to become impatient, mumbling things like, "Watch Sammy, I'm going to catch this Loch Ness!" or "I'm going to spend the coins on more games!"
   But Lucy took no chances! She had literally ran across the lake, half a mile away from everyone else. How she ran half a mile, I have no clue. But really, her kabourophobia (crab phobia) had gotten terribly worse after the crab monster had dragged her to the bottom of the ocean (Super dino power ep. 19). But somehow, Lucy also hadn't noticed the Nessie gigaclone that was on its way to the middle of the lake.
  Except... that's the moment Volt spotted it.

"Ah! Sammy! Sammy! Look, look, look!"
   Volt tail was spinning in a full circle—he was basically about to fly off the ground.

"Shush Volt!"
Sammy turned around at Volt with a scowl.
"Your disrupting everyth- GAH!"

The red owl had looked followed Volt's gaze, catching sight of the 'Loch Ness' arriving to the middle of the lake. Sammy's wings flew open, his beak was dangling open. Though he closed it just in time as Volt looked over to him and winked.

"I told you! Hehe, I'll be the richest squirrel in the world!
He snickered.

Volt raised his fishing pole and swung the line. Guess this was his lucky day, because the hook at the edge of the line had hooked on to a loose piece of metal—an irritating metallic sound ringed along the whole inside of the gigaclone. Freya and Liam definitely heard it.

Volt started reeling it in. Unfortunately, he stumbled back from the weight of the metal beast. Max had just woken up, he falling out of his chair. He grunted then got up to looked at Volt, struggling to reel his catch. Max looked at the 'fish' Volt had caught, at that point, his eyes were about to pop out of his eye bags.

"I'll help you!"
The yellow beaver got up and ran to help deal with the Loch Ness.

Once he caught up, he grabbed the pole, yanked it, then BAM. The gigaclone shot up from the water. HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE?! It cut through the air and landed so close to Sammy with a thunk. Sammy backed away quickly, panic spreading across his face. But the panic disappeared immediately. The monstrosity was laying on its left side. Volt stared in amazement at his catch, his gaze eventually flew up to Max's face. Did anyone notice the big thing? Apparently not. Leo and Suzy had scooted far from all of them—about 28 meters away—worried that Volt had some naughty things on his to-do list.
And he'd just completed one of them—catch Nessie.

"Max, you did it!"
Volt ran up to the big 'fish' in a trail of cerulean blue.

   The metal glowed harmlessly in the sunlight. Its four flippers were about 18 inches long. The waterproof neck was 26 inches long. And on the top of the monster's head was... a camera?

   The static buzzing was irritating enough. But getting thrown out of the water completely? That was irritating.

"Okay, who did that!?"
   Liam asked as he threw his arms out in exasperation.

   Freya hopped out of her seat and started toward the right side of the gigaclone.
"Come on Liam, let's go and see what happened."

   She walked toward the titanium-made door hatch. Liam was already following her, clenching his crimson crossbow. The two of them went to the hatch and Freya started turning the wheel. Liam was totally ready for whoever had attacked their ride. His dullish red armor jingling softly with every step he took.
The door clicked—then opened ajar. Freya unsheathed her dark purple gladius and gripped it hard. Both of them stepped out into the open, taking in the sight of the fishing lake. The close-cropped radiant green grass turned into tan sand as it stretched toward the water. Freshwater crabs were crawling in and out of the water. The pair strolled forward slowly and cautiously. Alas, that was when a certain blue squirrel noticed.

"What is that?"
Liam was the first to spot Volt while Freya followed his gaze.

Freya glared at the animal.
"No clue, but he's coming closer."


Volt zoomed as fast as light. Only to find that he had noticed Liam and Freya.

"Gah!"
Volt halted for a second to look back at them. Immediately, he skidded off to pull Sammy aside. Max had noticed the tension when Volt grabbed the owl by the wing, so he went to figure out what was wrong.

"Guys! Their here," Volt was literally flinging his arms, as if trying to swat flies out of the air. "those guys—Freya and Liam?—their here!"

"Oh great,"
Sammy veiled his face with one scarlet wing.
"Your even more paranoid, Volt."

"What if he's not lying, Sammy?"
Max turned towards both of them.

They were discussing under a short rock, their heads only a few inches away from the ceiling. The grey stone above them was still, covered with mini clusters of sand.

"I am not lying! Look over there!"
The cerulean creature jabbed a paw at Liam and Freya, who had moved merely three inches away from the metallic beast.

"Oh," Sammy faced had changed to an expression like oh-I'm-wrong-silly-me, but for only a moment. "We better transform, before they start causing trouble."

Both Max and Volt nodded silently. In sync, the three of them yelled,
"Crystalline Form, Activate!"
