Years Before Mighty Magiswords...

After Marty MaBarnacle had left with the Lyvsherian Navy to go out to search for an extremely legendary Magisword rumored to exist, the rest of the Savage Six remain ever vigilant. Jeanette had just given birth to two little kittens like her and her husband, and is taking good care of them while Marty is gone, hoping to get a message from him about his journey soon. Occasionally, she steps out her house to check her mailbox for letters from him, patiently waiting for one to pop up. And if it doesn't, she repeats the cycle all over again every day. Jeremy Cyrus and Kablammica sometimes stops by to check on Jeanette and her newborn kids if she ever has to leave to do something. Kablammica herself envisioning having children of her own; much like MaBarnacle's when she meets the right man. As always, Abi keeps her face concealed behind a purple hood and rarely appears. And David is starting to get into becoming a great speaker for the village of Rhybloflaven after he moved in from his tribe of dwarfs distant from Lyvsheria. Despite the team's thrill for adventure, they take this time of silence to relax and catch up on other activities they normally couldn't do, like potion studies, Magisword collecting, and forging. And all were happy... But then one afternoon, something much different and most surprising happened to them. Something that no one in the land had seen in a considerable number of years...

Jeanette steps out her home, as always to check on her mailbox to see if Marty sent any letters. But there were still no messages at this time. It almost seemed as though he ended up forgetting to do so. But Jeanette still didn't mind the wait. To her, it's either taking a long time to get here, something important is going on, or nothing interesting happened on her husband's journey yet. Before she could step back inside her small house shaped like everyone else's medieval-style homes to continue studying her potions, she is suddenly interrupted by Jeremy, who for some reason is looking extremely startled.

Jeremy breathing from running: Jeanette! Jeanette, I'm glad you're here!

Jeanette: Good lord! What is it this time, Jeremy? (Holds up beaker from pocket) I be working on another concoction for an experiment of m- !

Startled, Jeanette lets go of her glass beaker and shatters it onto a stone tile on the ground! Its contents burn the material with a strong base solution, leaving a black burn mark on it after some of it disintegrates. Looking up slowly with only a slight hint of fear, Jeanette finds a very tall figure standing before her and Cyrus. This lady has a body of a red titan. Her armor looks as though it was forged by viking metal, appearing as an ancient yet powerful warrior. A yellow and red eyed menace that smiles down on those beneath her with her sharp teeth and beaming stares. Her hair is like a blazing fire made of literal magic, and her gauntlets are sharpened with Magisword elements. Some appearing much rarer than others. Indeed, this new enemy has been through a lot in her day.

Fusion: Jeanette MaBarnacle, is it? I've heard stories about you and the rest of this team you're a part of. Have you heard about me?

Jeanette: Fusion...

Fusion: That's good. You get an A for effort. Your reward: A lesson in me.

Jeanette: How...How did you return here?! It's been years since your sealing!

Fusion: A deal was made. I come back to take care of Lyvsheria's greatest warriors, while my "benefactors" take care of their greatest navy.

Jeremy: Echoes...

Fusion: Bingo! I understand someone among you; a "pirate" as they call him had been sent with this fleet to hunt for treasure. It's no wonder he hasn't come back yet, huh?
