Flippy and his father rushed to Flaky's aid. She was shot in the chest.

"You thought you can stop me, eh?" The Tiger General said. He had a revolver.

Then they heard Russell. "BlackHeart!"

The Tiger General turned to him. "Sir Ironbeard! We meet again."

He dropped his revolver and pulled out a sword. Russell took out a sword as well.

"Get her out of here, mateys!" Russell said to Flippy and Zippy. "I have a curse to lift."

Father and son carried Flaky out.
===========================

Meanwhile, Deeka and Splendid were finishing off their part.

"Splendid!" Deeka called out. "You take care of the rest. I need to do something."

As she flew away, Splendid saw someone coming towards him from the sky. It looked half cyborg.

"Splendont!" He said. "I thought you were dead!"

"I'm not just Splendont," he said. "I'm Splendont V2!"

"I guess we fight right now," Splendid muttered.

"You won't be able to defeat me!" He said. "I'm half flesh, half Kryptonut!"

He grabbed Splendid by the neck with his Kryptonut hand and started choking him. The metal started melting his flesh.

Splendont V2 pulled out a Kryptonut-made knife. "Any last words?" He asked. "Because there's no one coming to save you!"

"Four words," Splendid sputtered. "Splendid Comic Book Fans!"

"Huh?"

Cuddles and Truffles fired their weapons at Splendont V2. He started to malfunction.

Splendid used the last of his strength to rip the robot's head off. Splendid fell to the ground. Cuddles and Truffles rushed to him.

"We gotta get you out of here!" Cuddles yelled. He and Truffles carried him out of sight.

===========================

Mime threw his last knife. A Tiger soldier approached him. Mime frowned.

"Remember me?" The soldier asked him. Mime nodded.

"Ribbons must've been a fuck buddy to you," he continued, "Even though she was also a Master of Mimicry like you, she couldn't even match her skills to yours. That's why she couldn't defeat a Tiger soldier like ME!"

Before Mime could silently speak, a Molotov cocktail ignited the soldier, making him scream in pain.

Mime looked up. A girl in clown makeup wearing a beret walked up to him. She held his hand.

"Ribbons?" Mime asked her telepathically. "Is that you?"

"Yes, my love." She replied. "We will fight this war together!"

===========================

Deeka was looking for someone in the stronghold. She felt determined to find him.

Then, a familiar voice was heard. "Lost?"

Deeka turned to a Tiger soldier. "Scar," she said.

"Wait," he said. "How do you know my name?"

Deeka showed him the burnt 'X' she got  fifteen years ago.

"So," Scar began. "You came to kill me."

"No," Deeka said. "I came for revenge,"

All of a sudden, Tiger soldiers came out from all directions with Kryptonut weapons.

"I think you came to die," Scar said. "I always win."

Then Lifty and Shifty came out and shot up all his backup. They took off their masks.

"Winners never cheat," Lifty said to Scar.

"And cheaters never win," Shifty followed.

Scar backed up, nervously. "No. NO!"

Deeka shoulder tackled him in the chest. He shoved her off and got up.

"No one is going to defeat me!" Scar yelled. "LADY MEDUSA! TURN ME INTO STONE FOR ETERNITY!!!"

A gray cloud covered him. After it disappeared, Scar was now a statue made of stone.

"So this is how you never lose," Deeka murmured. "Taking the cowards way out."
