Magiswords: The Complete Trilogy

Echoes Part 8

The heroic Warriors for Hire make their way to the bridge of the Echo Space Station with the Knowledge Magisword and Dolphin Magisword in hand. Before the slowly moving lift can come to a stop, both Warriors suddenly get a chill in the pits of their stomachs; the same cold feeling they had when they first encountered the Invaders.

Prohyas: Hey, Sis, in case something were to happen, and I'm not saying anything will, well, just know that I'm right next to ya.

Vambre: I was about to tell you the same thing, dear brother. But I'm afraid there's no time for that now. The lift is about to come to a stop.

The elevator finally opens its doors and leads the dynamic duo into a large long corridor with purple, pink, and golden architecture; almost shaped like a giant throne room similar to Princess Zange's, but darker and menacing from the view of space and the lack of too many lights in the back where they're standing.

Vambre: Let's make Mother proud.

The two begin to walk toward the end of the hallway gazing upon all the pillars and slightly familiar designs. None of which ring a bell to them. At the end of the throne room is a control booth against a long window facing toward the Earth; some of the windows even appearing on the floors guarded by safety rails to view the factories below. A chair shaped like a villainous "V" sits at the center of it atop a small staircase lined with red carpeting with the Echo Corp's "E" symbol in the middle of it. By the looks of things, it appears a Commando Drone is sitting in the chair monitoring everything, but the Warriors can tell using an X-Ray Magisword that someone's inside it. But they can't tell who due to the mech blocking the signal. When the drone's systems detect interference from the sword, he calmly turns his automated chair around with his legs crossed and his hands to his face. However, his helmet has not yet been removed, but it's easy to see through a reflection that his face isn't exactly human either.

Echo Boss: Well well well. If it isn't the Warriors for Nothing. And you've brought all your Magiswords.

Dolphin Magisword angrily screeching: EKEKEKEKE!

Prohyas: That's right! We've got enough just for you! Any sudden moves, and we'll unleash an army of hounds and kitties!

Vambre: And I shall disable your systems with Tomato Juice! Then we'll see how you like getting your clothes dirty!

Echo Boss uncrossing his legs: I know ya will. Trust me. I've seen both o' yas with em enough to know what you're capable of already. Same with the Toon Force. (Gets out of seat and steps down) I was hopin' by the end of this at least one o' you would be gone or otherwise beaten to death by my Echo Bots, but I had a feelin' you'd be back here too. So I've come prepared and upgraded my suit.

Prohyas: Oookay. Now we really know he's not a robot. He's someone we know!

Vambre: Yes, but who?

Echo Boss: That's none o' your business. I've gotta take out the trash now. And soon, all your pals will go with ya.

Vambre: We'll see about that! Once we unmask you, we'll put an end to your villainy!

Echo Boss: Ya mean like how ya dealt with those invaders? Don't even try it.

Vambre: Then perhaps you'll try THIS! OHOOO!

Narrator: Tomato Magisword!

The secret man gets sprayed by a tomato but he simply presses a button on the side of the pillar next to him that activates the sprinklers, cleaning his suit off. Prohyas then shoots his Acorn Arsenal Magisword at him, but like the other drones, he deploys his back turrets and aims and fires at the incoming barrage of large acorns with a long wide energy beam.
