Brendan and the others looked around, concerned, before the other Patrons and him all felt a jolt course through them.

"Groudon.... don't tell me..."

"It's him," the Legendary said, just as tense as he was.

"It's him... Harley is here!" Brendan shouted. "Everyone, let's get ready! Green, Max, Bonnie, and Claire, get to the coast as quickly as possible. Twins, go with them, make sure they get there safely. Wally, Damian, Giri, go and round up your people and start searching for Team Thorn. Flannery and Zinnia, go with them, but take the rooftops. Zinnia, keep us updated on whatever you can. Nobody take any risks, understood?" His Team nods and they all immediately get to work. "The rest of you Lieutenants, listen to your Patron's orders and follow them to the letter. Patrons, with me." He then turned to Cynthia and the new arrivals. "Looks like we don't have time to give you guys any Powers. I know it's selfish, but can if you can help the Lieutenants make sure Team Thorn is nowhere to be found, then we'd definitely be greatful."

Cynthia and the others nodded before they immediately began to head out.

"Alright. Steven, Red, and Blue, with me. We're going straight straight to Harley. Yellow, and Alex, stay here and watch over May. Hopefully, we'll resolve this without having to put her or you in danger. Any questions?"

"From what I can tell, there's a sinister aura emanating from the northern part of the town. That's him, right?" Blue asked as they ran outside..

"Who else could it be?" Brendan retorted as they leapt to the top of a building.

"What's our plan when we get there?" Red asked.

"Red, use Psychic on him to hold him in place. Blue, you and I are gonna hit him as hard as we can."

"I think I've got three Fire Blasts in me before I won't have enough energy to fight."

"Same," Brendan replied. "Which is where Steven comes in. Steven, you'll whip up a gust for us that'll intensify our flames. The only downside is... That I can't guarantee that anything in the surrounding area will be safe."

"Well, nothing we can do about that. Either we stop Harley here, or far more than just a few buildings will be destroyed," Red told him as they raced through the town, leaping up to the rooftops and lunging across the streets with their Powers. With every step forward the dark, evil Energy grew more and more intense. Once they were by the building atop which the Patron of Darkrai stood, they launched their attack. Red leapt up and fixated on the Patron of Darkrai.

"You won't be taking another step!" He shouted. "Psychic!" A thin veil of light blue covered Harley, who was simply standing still. Red clenched his fists, tightening the hold of the attack, crushing Harley, and sending a puff of red shooting out of his body with loud cracking sounds. He didn't make any sound.

"Something's wrong, human," Groudon said as Brendan and Blue leapt into the air.

"Yeah.... he's not responding even though Red crushed his body.... Nonetheless, this ends here." He looked at Blue and nodded. Blue nodded in return, and the two Patrons of Fire ignited their fingers, then their hands, and then their arms.

"It ends here, Patron of Darkrai!" They shouted, the flames on their arms blazing with such intensity the sleeves of their shirts began to smoulder and burn. "Dual Fire Blast!"

Four massive gouts of flame, two fired from both Brendan and Blue, barreled toward Harley. The heat deformed the bricks and metal fixings that held the building in place. The four infernos became one as they barrelled into Harley, exploding into an even larger flame.
