"Let me out!" yells Clayton "Let me out now! I don't belong here!"
"None of us belong in here!" said Nas "Now will you sit down and be quiet?"
"What did you just say to me?!?" growled Clayton, turning towards Nas.
"Don't get near him!" yelled Felina, standing in front of Nas as Clayton approached.
"Will everybody just keep it together?!?" ordered Jen.
"Yeah, bickering isn't going to get us anywhere." said Mikayla.
"It would make me feel better." grumbled Clayton.
"Of course it would." scoffed Jen.
"What does that mean?!?" yelled Clayton.
"It means you've been nothing but a pain ever since we got locked up in here!" said Jen.
"Yeah!" agreed Nas "Thanks to we're never getting out of here!"
"I'm not the one who got locked you up in here!" argued Clayton "She did!"
Clayton pointed his finger at Jess, who was sitting in the corner, holding Sumi.
"W-What?" gasped Jess.
"She's the one who led you all here!" said Clayton "She was the spy!"
"Stop!" commanded Mikayla "This fighting and blaming isn't going to get us anywhere. It's time we start putting aside our differences and actually doing something."
"Agreed." said Princess Joan.
"Same here." said Brooke.
"I guess I could try." grumbled Clayton.
"Forget it."
Everyone in the cell turned their attention to Jerome, who sat slumped down in the corner next to the bars.
"I'm the reason we're all here." sighed Jerome "I should have known this was all a trap. I should have come alone and not got anyone else involved."
"You did what you had to do." said Mikayla.
"Besides if you would have came by yourself then you would have gotten caught and we wouldn't have known where to go." said Nas.
"I know what you guys are doing... but I have to take responsibility for this." said Jerome.
"Jerome." started Mikayla "You hold this team together. Without you we would have never gotten together."
"It's true." said Felina.
"Jerome you single-handedly did no other has done." said Mikayla "You stepped up and led us."
"That's right." said Jen "So what if we're stuck in some dingy cell, you gave all of us the courage to stand up against the bots."
"We never could get through all the missions we've been on without." assured Mikayla.
Jerome lifted his head and looked around. He knew he had to find a way to get everyone out, but he wasn't sure how.
"I'm sorry for that everyone." apologized Jerome "Look, even if I could get us out of here we still have the bots left to deal with."
"The bots!" said Clayton "That's it!"
Clayton rushed over to the bars and stuck his arm out to touch the wall.
"What are you doing?" asked Jen.
"I remember... the cells only open if one of the bots stick their hand on the panel out here." explained Clayton.
"But we don't have a robot hand." said Nas.
"Oh ye of little faith." said Clayton, pulling a robot arm out of his coat.
Without hesitation Clayton put the robot hand on the panel, releasing the bars to let everyone out.
"Thanks Clayton, you actually pulled through this time." said Jen.
"Don't mention it." said Clayton, following everyone out of the area.
After heading up the stairs the team suddenly found themselves in a spiraling room. The exit was right in front of them, but it was blocked by two cats.
"Look who made it out." chuckled Luma "You may have escaped your cell, but now you must get past us."
"Clayton, Joan, Brooke, get Sumi out of here to safety." commanded Jerome.
"Right." said Clayton, shaking his head and leading the princesses to the exit.
"They're getting away!" growled Luma II.
"Let them go." said Luma "These are the ones I want."
"Nas, Felina, I want you two wait by that pillar to your right."
"Okay Jerome." said Nas, pulling Felina by the hand and leading her to the pillar.
"Hide all you want... I will find you." laughed Luma.
"Mikayla, Jen, you two take the tall one." commanded Jerome.
Jen and Mikayla approached Luma II, getting ready for a fight.
"Let's start this shall we." said Luma, lunging at Jerome and grabbing him by the neck "I will enjoy this!"
"AAAHHH!!!" shouted Luma II, swinging his cutlasses at Jen and Mikayla, jumped out of the way before being hit.
"Eat this!" yelled Jen, shooting Luma II in the back.
Luma II looked down at Jen with an evil grin. He lifted up his cutlass, but before bringing it down the pillar behind him fell, smashing him in the back of the head.
"Huh?"
As Luma was distracted Jerome took out a couple of smoke bombs from his pocket and burst them into Luma's eyes as soon as he turned around.
"AHHH!!!" cried Luma, rubbing his eyes.
"Nas, Felina, now!" shouted Jerome, before the next pillar came tumbling down upon Luma.
"AHHH!!!" yelled Luma "Help me!"
As Luma II came to he quickly rushed over to help his father as the Squad escaped.
"You imbecile!" shouted Luma, crawling out from under the pillar and standing to his feet "I had everything under control! You butted in and ruined it!"
"I helped you." growled Luma II under his breath.
"No matter." huffed Luma "My plans are in effect. Everything is settling up perfectly."
"You truly think the machine will hand over the medallion?" asked Luma II.
"Moron! This is about more than the medallion!" said Luma "Underneath this village lies the home of a million demons! My children! The bots, their vessels. Once they started tearing it apart they will be set free... and the world will be mine once again."
"What about me?" asked Luma II.
"You?" questioned Luma "You continue to be my big moronic, skinny, lanky son who is only good at the heavy lifting. You'll have no true power, it will all belong to me."
As Luma turned to walk away he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a cutlass sticking out of his chest.
"Y-You..." moaned Luma, falling to floor holding his wound "How... how dare you! I'm your father. I am the king of the vampires! I was going to rule."
"I care not about ruling." said Luma II, cleaning his blade "I only care about destruction."
"But... m-my plans..."
"I have better plans... plans that doesn't involve... robots..."
