Story
Back where we last saw the gang... Everyone gasps in surprise. Before Captain Red Shell can answer, everyone sees the gemstones coming, along with the rest of the gang.
 * Blue Ocean: What's going on!?
 * Blade: It's the end of the world!
 * Boom: Don't be silly Blade! It can't be the end of the world.
 * Blade: Do you have a better idea?
 * Boom: Uh... no... But yours doesn't make any sense.
 * Bonk Choy: So, it has come to this...
 * Starcade: It probably has to be one of Dr. Zack's machines. When was the last time we've seen black crystals growing from the ground?
 * Red Fork: Grim Matchstick said he saw black crystals grow on Inkwell Isle as well.
 * Starcade: Okay? I could've sworn that I know someone with that name.
 * Blue Ocean: My devices sense a large amount of dark energy coming from them.
 * Akasha: I don't know why, but I feel that I've seen such dark energy before. Though it could've been that of my father's.
 * Captain Red Shell: I think I know what this means.
 * Blue Ocean: What?
 * Captain Red Shell: He's back.
 * Tommy: Wait, who's back?
 * Jelo: Hey, gang.
 * Star: *waving frantically* Hiii~!
 * Marco: 'Sup! What's going on?
 * Toby Topaz: Wait, who's back?
 * Gary Garnet: Wait a minute, what's all these black crystals? And did they come out from the ground?
 * Amelia Amethyst: What is going on?
 * Red Ruby: I'll tell you what's going on! *points to Captain Red Shell* We're going to put an end to that traitor once and for all!
 * Sean Sapphire: What?!
 * Red Fork: *lifts Red Ruby with his magic* Hold it right there, Red. We already solved everything. It was just a big misunderstanding.
 * Red Ruby: *to Red Fork* Big misunderstanding, eh? Yeah, right. That happened the last time with Starcade. You expect me to believe that this time?
 * Diana Diamond: Okay, calm down there...
 * Blue Ocean: Yeah, but we have greater things to worry about now.
 * Rebecca: Like what?
 * Blue Ocean: The earthquake?
 * Blast: The black crystals?
 * Alice: And the fact that they're emitting dark energy.
 * Captain Red Shell: This is bad news for sure.
 * Star: Uh....I'm confused.
 * Lisa: Excuse me, but can you shed some light on the situation? Perhaps give us some context on the matter?
 * Akasha: I'm still getting rather familiar vibes from such dark energy. What if my dad's back? That would be the absolute worst...
 * Lincoln: Your dad?
 * Akasha: Shogo the Warlord.

''Coconut Crab leaves to prepare the ship. Meanwhile, the gang sees Jenny, Richard and many others coming as well, concerned about the earthquake and the mysterious black crystals.'' The Gang then hears a voice that cuts through their chatter. Asher rolls his eyes, and points to Tartar. Jenny gets in between them and pushes Asher aside. Asher scowls, and backs off. ''The gang goes to the coast as quick as they can, but on the way, they notice more black crystals spawning from the earth as they go, and another earthquake occurs. The citizens of Echo Creek are scared and running around in panic.'' The gang arrives at the coast, where Coconut Crab has prepared Captain Red Shell's ship. ''Once everyone in the gang is aboard Captain Red Shell's ship, the crab captain gives the order to Coconut Crab to set sail. The ship moves away from the coast and begins its way to the old pyramids of the ancient shadowfish.'' ''Suddenly, an earthquake happens again. This time, the seismic activity causes the ship to shake in the water, as the gang sees large waves form due to the earthquake.'' Captain Red Shell grabs the steering wheel, and struggles to control the ship, that is currently being shaked from side to side by the large waves. While the ship is being shaked by the waves, the gang looks up ahead, and sees a huge wave being formed. Jaiden attempts to freeze the huge wave, but fails. The three ice ninjas try to freeze the huge wave, and together, they are able to do it. ''The waves continue to move the ship side to side, but Captain Red Shell struggles at the steering wheel to keep the ship on track. Soon, the earthquake ends, and the water begins to calm down.'' ''The ship continues on its way. The ship now reaches an antarctic region with several icebergs floating in the water.'' ''Red Ruby throws his explosives at the icebergs. The icebergs blow up, letting the ship pass without any trouble.'' ''Gary Guppy tosses bombs at the icebergs, blowing them up too. Soon, Red Ruby and Gary Guppy have cleared the way for the ship to continue.'' However, the gang sees an iceberg approach them, with several penguins on it, including one that Captain Red Shell and Akasha recognize immediately. ''The penguins hop onto the ship. Gary Guppy, Starry and Blowy hide from the penguins, while Captain Red Shell grabs his sword, and Coconut Crab takes out his spear.'' Lincoln attempts to lift Red Fork back on the ship. Akasha releases a volley of flames, melting the ice on the deck and burning Peter the Penguin. Peter Penguin runs around yelling, and finally jumps into the water to put off the flames. ''Peter Penguin jumps out of the water, and lands on the ship. He puts on an ice crown, and takes out a huge hammer.'' Peter the Penguin spins the hammer around, hitting several members of the gang at once. ''Peter the Penguin charges towards Captain Red Shell, but Captain Red Shell jumps to avoid the attack. Captain Red Shell then slashes his sword at Peter the Penguin. Peter the Penguin gets up and spins around with his hammer, hitting Captain Red Shell in the process.'' ''Red Fork teleports to above Peter the Penguin, and attempts smashing him. This causes heavy damage on the flightless bird, but Peter the Penguin soon reacts by pushing Red Fork off of him and slamming him with his hammer.'' ''Akasha levitates the hammer out of Peter the Penguin's wings and high enough so that Peter the Penguin is unable to grab it back. Peter Penguin then whistles. Several penguins come out of the water, and tackle Akasha, making her drop the hammer, allowing Peter the Penguin to grab it back.'' ''Peter the Penguin charges towards Akasha to slam her with his hammer. However, Captain Red Shell intercepts Peter the Penguin and slashes him with his sword.'' ''Peter the Penguin continuously slams Captain Red Shell with his hammer. Red Fork then sees a chest in Captain Red Shell's ship, and looks inside it. He finds a sword, a wheel and a hammer.'' ''Peter the Penguin runs towards Red Fork to slam him with his hammer. Red Fork jumps to dodge Peter the Penguin's attack, and then hits him with the hammer once.'' Both of them continue to slam each other with their hammers, until Peter the Penguin hits Red Fork with a powerful hammer slam, making him drop the hammer. Akasha flies towards Peter the Penguin before punching him, sending him flying out of the ship and into the water again. Akasha flies around the ship at a fast speed, clearing the deck of the remaining penguins and sending them flying into the water. ''The ship continues moving on. After a couple of hours more of travel, the ship finally arrives at the location where the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish are.'' The gang dives underwater and swims to the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish. ''The gang swims as quickly as they can to the largest pyramid. When they enter the pyramid, they find that it's completely dark inside it.'' ''The gang advances towards the center of the pyramid, where the amulet is. However, on the way, Tommy accidentally steps a tile, triggering a trap. Suddenly several bows appear in the walls, and begin to fire arrows.'' ''Blue Ocean accidentally leans on a tile in the wall, activating yet another trap. This time, a huge boulder is rolling towards them.'' ''The gang swims as fast as they can to avoid the boulder that's coming towards them. They continue to swim through the hallway, until they see a door in the wall.'' The gang swims into the door. ''The gang finds themselves now in the central chamber of the pyramid. However, Akasha soon notices that the Amulet of the Dark Seas isn't where it should be.'' ''Suddenly, the gang is hit by a powerful shadow wave. After this, the gang watches Captain Dark Shell show up in the room.'' Captain Dark Shell uses his sword to shoot a powerful shadow wave at Sean, before slashing him repeatedly until he's unconscious. Captain Dark Shell teleports to behind Akasha, and delivers powerful slashes at her, leaving her very weak. ''Captain Red Shell tries to confront Captain Dark Shell, but Captain Dark Shell teleports around Captain Red Shell, attacking him quickly without giving him a single chance to retaliate. Soon Captain Red Shell is left just as weak as Akasha.'' ''Akasha teleports to behind Captain Dark Shell, despite being weaker than before, before firing shadow blasts at him quickly while teleporting quickly to dodge Captain Dark Shell's attacks. Captain Dark Shell deflects the shadow blasts with his sword.'' ''Captain Dark Shell waves his sword around in a circular movement. Suddenly, the water in the room begins to spin around as if this was a whirlpool, causing the gang to spin around with the water.'' ''Red Fork tries to shoot magic blasts at Captain Dark Shell, but is unable to aim correctly due to being pulled around with the water just like the rest of the gang. Captain Dark Shell makes the spinning motion stop.'' ''Ace shoots several shadow blasts at Captain Dark Shell, but the crsutacean teleports to behind Ace, and slashes at him with his sword. Ace takes damage, and turns around, only to be blown into a wall by a might shadow wave.'' ''Blast, Electra, Alice, Boom and Blade attack Captain Dark Shell at the same time, but this turns out to be useless, since Captain Dark Shell teleports out of the way, and then uses a shadow art to levitate the five teenagers, and toss them into a wall. The toss was so strong that the five teens not only hit the wall, but go through it, leaving a hole in the wall, and the five teens unconscious.'' ''Richard and his friends attack Captain Dark Shell together, only to face a quick defeat just like the previous group. They are left unconscious after Captain Dark Shell slashed them heavily with his sword.'' ''Kyoji fires a powerful ice wave from his sword at Captain Dark Shell, Takeshi fires lightning bolts at Captain Dark Shell and Sasuke tosses water bombs at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell simply teleports away from the attacks, and reappears above the three elemental ninjas, delivering quick sword slashes, and shadow waves, managing to defeat the three elemental ninjas.'' ''Red Fork charges towards Captain Dark Shell to perform a ramming attack. However, before Red Fork can even get close to the shady crustacean, Captain Dark Shell sues a shadow art to levitate Red Fork, and toss him into Starcade, Blue Ocean and Green Shadow, leaving them defeated as well.'' ''Jaiden, Cypher-Den and Rebecca do a three elemental combo. However, Captain Dark Shell then takes out an object that he had been hiding with him... The Amulet of the Dark Seas!'' ''Captain Dark Shell uses the Amulet of the Dark Seas to counter the three elemental combo. He then teleports to where the three girls are, and unleashed a shadow explosion around him, defeating the three elemental ninjas.'' Captain Dark Shell slashes at the two warriors, leaving Captain Red Shell unconscious, while Ace was able to defend himself with his shield. ''Captain Dark Shell and Ace fight each other, but Captain Dark Shell obviously has the upper hand. As Ace gets weaker, the few members of the gang that are left watch in horror. Ace tries teleporting to behind Captain Dark Shell to surprise him with a shadow blast, but Captain Dark Shell teleports away before Ace can even do the attack.'' ''Captain Dark Shell slashes at Ace several times, while Ace keeps up his Ace Shield to protect himself. After the battle continues on, Captain Dark Shell has Ace cornered.'' ''Captain Dark Shell slashes repeatedly at Ace, until one of his slashes causes Ace to drop the shield, leaving him defenseless. The gang gasps.'' ''Captain Dark Shell stabs Ace with the sword, causing him to fall unconscious. The remaining members of the gang gasp in horror as they see Ace, one of their strongest allies, fall unconscious to Captain Dark Shell's sword. Captain Dark Shell then pulls the sword back out, and stares at the gang, intimidating the few members that are left.'' ''Captain Dark Shell takes out the Amulet of the Dark Seas, and places it on his sword. Suddenly, the amulet and the sword begin to glow, causing a dark, dimensional portal to appear. The portal begins to suck in all the members of the gang, both conscious and unconscious.'' ''Despite how much they try, the gang is unable to escape the portal, and they are all sucked into the portal. Captain Dark Shell then lookes into the portal, ready to say some last words to the gang.'' ''Captain Dark Shell now takes the amulet off of his sword, causing the portal to disappear, thus closing connection between the two dimensions, and leaving the gang sealed in the dark and unsettling lands of the Shadow Dimension. The gang finds themselves now trapped in a dark world that seems taken out of a horror movie.'' Slowly, the unconscious members of the gang begin to wake up. ''Suddenly, the gang sees a floating machine approach them, with a unicorn inside. The unicorn is gray with dark blue hair.'' Shadow Spark presses a button, and a large wrecking ball comes out of the bottom of the machine, connected to the machine with a chain. Shadow Spark drives the machine around the gang, swinging the wrecking ball towards them. Green Shadow blasts an ice beam at the wrecking ball, slowing it down. Shadow Spark presses a button, causing the effects of the ice beam to wear off of the wrecking ball. ''Shadow Spark swings the wrecking ball towards Red Fork. Red Fork manages to dodge it by a few inches, and the wrecking ball ends up destroying the tree behind Red Fork.'' Kyoji charges towards the chain connecting the wrecking ball to the machine, before using his Sword of Elementia to break the chain. Shadow Spark presses another button,and his Spark-o-matic suddenly transforms into a huge dragon-shaped robot. ''The Dragon-bot shoots flames out of its mouth. Electra creates an electric forcefield to protect the gang from the flames.'' Sasuke tosses water bombs into the Dragon-bot's mouth. The Dragon-bot flies towards the gang, trying to crash into them. ''Sasuke spins around, before creating a hurricane that charges towards the Dragon-bot, washing it away from the gang. The Dragon-bot begins to fail due the water in its system, until finally, the Dragon-bot explodes, leaving Shadow Spark sitting on a bunch of metal pieces.'' ''The gang hurries to Darkburbia. Meanwhile, in Echo Creek, the citizens are panicking because of the black crystals that are appearing everywhere. However, they soon spot a dark crab coming to the coast.'' Captain Dark Shell lifts his sword up in the army, summoning an army of shadow crab warriors. ''The shadow crab warriors charge towards Iron Heart and Windy Sails. Iron Heart shoots magic blasts at them, and Windy Sail tries attacking as well, but the army overpowers them, leading to a quick defeat to dozens of swords.'' Captain Dark Shell waves his sword around Iron Heart and Windy Sails, trapping them in shadow bubbles. ''Captain Dark Shell leads his army of shadow crab warriors into the city. The citizens panic even more when they see the shadow crabs enter the city, and begin to attack everything in their way.'' Sakura, along with Nutty, Mimic, Hissy, Chimp and Leech, proceed to join the fight against Captain Dark Shell's army of shadow crab warriors. ''Captain Dark Shell shoots a large shadow wave at Sakura, rendering her light powers useless. Meanwhile, the army of shadow crab soldiers is overwhelming Emma's advisors.'' ''Leech flies swiftly towards one of the shadow crab soldiers, before biting it by the neck. However, she flinches after biting it, due to the shell protecting the neck from her teeth.'' ''The shadow crab warriors continue to overwhelm the advisors. Meanwhile, Captain Dark Shell levitates Sakura with a shadow art, and tosses her against the wall, only to levitate her again and toss her into a rock. He then delivers several slashes with his sword, and finishes off with a shadow wave, effectively defeating Sakura.'' Leech flies off to find more allies, while Nutty, Mimic, Hissy and Chimp stay behind to defend the city. ''Captain Dark Shell is seen delivering a dangerous slash on the advisors. Meanwhile, back in the Shadow Dimension, the gang is now in Darkburbia, ready to fight the first villain on the list.  The gang proceeds to look for Dark Re-Peat Boss' base.'' The gang follows Green Shadow, who manages to locate Dark Re-Peat Boss' base after a while. The gang enters Dark Re-Peat Boss' base, ready to confront the villain. ??? #2 rushes out from the shadows, revealing himself to what appears to be a dark version of Boss Choy, who punches Star in the face and sends her flying into a wall. ''The rainbow blast gets deflected. ??? #1 emerges, revealing himself to be Dark Re-Peat Boss in his Moss-Bot.'' Dark Re-Peat Boss presses a button, causing his Moss-Bot to fire a glowing green energy sphere at Dark Boss Choy, making him significantly stronger than before. Dark Boss Choy charges towards the gang, before raining punches at them, sending a few members flying into a wall. Red Fork charges towards Dark Boss Choy, sending him flying into a wall with his weight. ''Dark Boss Choy proceeds to grab Bonk Choy and Re-Peat Moss at once, before tossing them at Red Fork. Red Fork manages to dodge them though.'' ''Dark Boss Choy charges towards Red Fork while he is dodging, only for Red Fork to use his magic to teleport out of the way. He then appears above Dark Boss Choy, and lands on him, smashing him with his weight.'' ''Electra shoots electric bolts at the Moss-bot, Blade shoots cutting blades while jumping around in erratic patterns, Scorch shoots powerful fire blasts, and Boom charges straight into the Moss-bot to deliver powerful punches. Dark Re-Peat Boss sees this coming, and proceeds to press the button on the Moss-bot, activating a forcefield around it to protect itself and Dark Re-Peat Boss from the incoming attacks. Dark Re-Peat Boss presses another button, activating a missile launcher that fires homing missiles at Electra, Blade, Scorch and Boom, exploding upon contact and sending them flying into walls.'' The Moss-Bot continues firing homing missiles at the gang. ''Dark Boss Choy uses his strength to push Red Fork away from him, before concentrating his strength again to pound the ground and cause an earthquake. The earthquake created by Dark Boss Choy causes most of the gang members standing on the ground to trip and fall.'' ''Red Fork jumps and hits the ground, causing another earthquake. This one is strong enough to cause a few walls to collapse. Several objects begin to fall around the room.'' ''As more objects begin to fall around the room, Dark Boss Choy grabs them and throws them at the gang. The objects combined with the Moss-Bot's homing missiles manage to destroy Blue Ocean's forcefield, leaving the gang exposed. However, Amelia Amethyst creates another forcefield just in time.'' Red Fork levitates many of the falling objects, before he begins to toss them at Dark Boss Choy and Dark Re-Peat Boss, tossing several objects per second. ''Dark Boss Choy punches the objects tossed at him, deflecting then back at the gang. Starcade rushes to Dark Boss Choy while he is not looking, before pinning him down to the ground.'' ''Starcade grabs Dark Boss Choy by the arms, before slamming him repeatedly on the ground. She proceeds to lift Dark Boss Choy up high in the air, before throwing him headfirst into a wall, defeating him. Starcade proceeds to check Dark Boss Choy, but is unable to find the shard anywhere.'' ''Many members of the gang begin to spam their attacks at the same time. However, the Moss-Bot's forcefield deflects the attacks, before the Moss-Bot fires more homing missiles back at the gang.'' Blast, Scorch, Electra, Rebecca and Jason perform a five elemental combo, destroying the forcefield. ''The gang begins to spam attacks at the Moss-bot again, overwhelming it to the point of defeat. Dark Re-Peat Boss jumps out of the Moss-Bot right before it explodes.'' Blue Ocean writes a check next to "Dark Re-Peat Boss on the list". ''The gang makes their way to Dark Baker Alley. Meanwhile, in Baker Street, the cookies see the shadow crab soldiers invading their home. The shadow crab soldiers are destroying buildings, starting fires, and robbing everything they find.'' Captain Dark Shell then sees Assorted Cookie steps out.
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes, Shogo is a dangerous shadow threat, but this isn't his doing. These crystals... I've only seen them once, and that's in the ancient scrolls of the shadowfish.
 * Electra: The shadowfish!?
 * Boom: That only means... that the one behind this is...
 * Captain Red Shell: Captain Dark Shell.
 * Jelo: Captain Dark Shell....? Excuse me, but I've been travelling around the world battling threats outside Echo Creek. I don't get anything you say!￼
 * Marco: As for me and Star, we've been going on adventures across other dimensions.
 * Starcade: I've been texting to you about our adventures. Didn't you read them?
 * Jelo: Poor signal. Airplane mode. Being busy. These three explain everything. So far, I've only read about Opposite Blast and his gang becoming good. And Akasha becoming good too, although that was weeks ago.
 * Starcade: That's pretty sad, dude.
 * Gerald: Well, now that I've read all of them just about now, I'm up to date with just about everything! In addition, I'm also kinda disappointed with Red Ruby now.
 * Red Ruby: Excuse me?!
 * Boom: You heard correctly. I'd be disappointed too to have a friend like you if I was Jelo.
 * Red Ruby: I'd be more than disappointed to have a ex-villain like you as a friend!
 * Akasha: Captain Dark Shell again? Who even released him from the Shadow Dimension?
 * Captain Red Shell: I don't know, but I do know what we need to do.
 * Red Fork: What is it?
 * Captain Red Shell: We'll need to travel to the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish. There we'll be able to find out what happened, and we'll return Captain Dark Shell to the Shadow Dimension before he causes any damage. We must hurry though, or else he'll conquer the entire world, just as he tried to do in the past.
 * Akasha: Just like my father would. Yeah, I won't let that crab do that.
 * Green Shadow: Where's the pyramids?
 * Akasha: If only I can recall...*thinks hard but is unable to remember where*...darn, I forgot! Captain Red Shell, do you remember where they are?
 * Captain Red Shell: Certainly. Coconut Crab, prepare the ship. We're heading to the ancient pyramids of the shadowfish.
 * Coconut Crab: Aye aye, captain!
 * Richard: What's with the crystals and the earthquake?
 * Bonk Choy: Hey, it's Richard Melon!
 * Akasha: What are you doing here, Richard? Captain Dark Shell is back, get out while you still can!
 * Richard: No, I cannot. I've gotta help you guys. No matter how much of a threat this Captain Dark Shell guy is, I have to.
 * Akasha: Okay, but tell me something: Do you even know who Captain Dark Shell is?
 * Richard: To be honest, not really. Can you tell me more?
 * Akasha: Certainly. Captain Dark Shell is one of the most powerful shadow ninjas there is. He looks a little like Captain Red Shell if I do recall correctly. He was sealed away by the ancient shadowfish into the Shadow Dimension due to attempting to conquer the entire world by himself. Captain Dark Shell is basically similar to my father, but only a crab. Captain Red Shell and I encountered him once and I never forgot how much that shadow crab had hurt him in many ways. So yes, he's too dangerous for the likes of you and your friends.
 * Richard: Okay. But hey, we still have a chance of succeeding! Even if he's that dangerous.
 * Kernely: I honestly agree with you, Rick.
 * Akasha: This is nothing to say "Okay" about! You'll know how dangerous he is once you meet him. Trust me, I've fought him before.
 * Richard: Fine.
 * Jenny: I rounded up all of my allies, and here to say- what the heck is going on here?
 * Nebula: I've never seen crystals like this before... I'm kinda concerned...
 * Kyoji: Long story short, Captain Dark Shell did this. He's basically one of the most powerful shadow ninjas who plans to conquer the entire world.
 * Asher: What's the cause for worry? It's probably just some funky phenomenon....
 * Jack: I'm not sure.... I'm thinking there's a ringleader to this all.
 * Kimbery: You don't think it could be....
 * Galaximus: Before you point fingers, I have done nothing wrong! TARTAR! Elaborate!
 * Commander Tartar: My databases have been picking up nothing but blanks on this whole [SLANG_NOT_FOUND]. But I assure you, Sheila has done no such deeds.
 * Rose: But- if you did not do it.... who did?
 * Tartar: ME?!
 * Asher: It who declared it, dealt it.
 * Tartar: You're gonna be dealing with a funeral in a minute....
 * Asher: What was that?! *He gets it Tartar's face.* Say that again, you outdated piece of....
 * Jenny: Easy, easy! We don't need any more conflict on top of our current problem!
 * Starcade: That was weird.
 * Richard: I've honestly gotta agree with you, Starcade.
 * Green Shadow: If we're done with pointless arguing, we can move on to fight Captain Dark Shell now.
 * Galaximus: That low life?
 * Jenny: Huh... Why is he doing this?
 * Akasha: I told you, he wants to conquer the world.
 * Green Shadow: So, we have to get going!
 * Captain Red Shell: Follow me to the coast. Coconut Crab will have the ship ready for us to go and stop Captain Dark Shell.
 * Alice: Hopefully it won't be too late.
 * Akasha: There's no such thing as "too late"! We will defeat Captain Dark Shell!
 * Bonk Choy: But...
 * Kyoji: Akasha has a point there.
 * Jelo: True. It's never too late to save the world.
 * Bonk Choy: I'm still scared though.
 * Toby Topaz: Me too...
 * Red Ruby: Don't be such cowards! We gotta get going!
 * Sean Sapphire: So, what are we waiting for? Let's head to the coast!
 * Jenny: Yeah!
 * Jelo: Let's go.
 * Tommy: Whoa... the earth is shaking even more!
 * Marco: Why's everyone running scared?
 * Lisa: According to my calculations, the seismic activity is increasing exponentially.
 * Blue Ocean: That's not good.
 * Blast: What does that mean in english?
 * Alice: It means that the earthquakes are getting stronger and are happening more frequently.
 * Captain Red Shell: Hence why we must hurry.
 * Jenny: Wait, you're saying that this crab captain can cause earthquakes?
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes.
 * Blue Ocean: And here I thought the only one that could cause earthquakes was Red Fork's weight. *laughs at his own joke, only to realize that no one is laughing* Tough crowd...
 * Bonk Choy: Yeah, not exactly that funny...
 * Captain Red Shell: This is no time for comedy Blue Ocean. If Captain Dark Shell is free from the Shadow Dimension, the world is in great danger.
 * Jelo: So, is this Captain Dark Shell really that powerful?
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes. Everything is recorded in the scrolls from the ancient shadowfish. Thousands of years ago, Captain Dark Shell was being trained as a shadow ninja. He excelled in his training, and knew that he was meant for big things. The only problem is that no one ever realized how dangerous Captain Dark Shell was becoming. One day, when the Shadow Sensei refused to give him access to the greatest secrets of the shadow arts, Captain Dark Shell claimed that he would get them himself. He challenged the Shadow Sensei, but ultimately was defeated, and humilliated in front of his peers. Captain Dark Shell, furious, stole the secrets from the Shadow Sensei one night, and with his newfound power, become one of the most dangerous shadow ninjas to ever exist.
 * Lemon Glass: Oh my...
 * Captain Red Shell: He had already been trained in the Crab Empire, and used his power to steal treasures from ancient underwater civilizations. He attacked other dojos, trying to seize their secrets as well. He never got enough knowledge to become a certified ninja in any other element, but along with his travels across the world, he got enough power and skill to become a threat to the world. He attempted to take over the entire world. The Shadow Sensei and the other shadow ninjas knew Captain Dark Shell had to be stopped. Luckily, there was one ancient artifact that Captain Dark Shell never took control of: The Amulet of the Dark Seas. It's an ancient artifact that was guarded by the civilization of the ancient shadowfish. Using the power of that amulet, the shadow ninjas were able to seal Captain Dark Shell off into the Shadow Dimension, with no way to return.
 * Jaiden: If that's the case, then how could he have escaped?
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, you see, the Amulet of the Dark Seas is kept in the largest pyramid of the now extinct civilization of the shadowfish. As long as it is kept in place, Captain Dark Shell will be trapped int he Shadow Dimension with no way to escape. However, a while ago, the Amulet of the Dark Seas was removed from its location.
 * Starry: Yeah, I remember that. *looks at Akasha*
 * Akasha: What?
 * Captain Red Shell: What matters it that when the amulet was moved, that could've interrupted the flow of dark energy inside it. We eventually managed to put it back into place, sending the evil crustacean back to the Shadow Dimension, but that short interruption in the flow of dark energy could've been enough to weaken the spell. With the spell weakened, Captain Dark Shell might have found some way to connect to our dimension. In any case, we must get to the bottom of the problem, and solve it quickly.
 * Akasha: That's right. And it appears things are getting worse and worse as his presence remains.
 * Takeshi: So who is responsible for moving the Amulet of the Dark Seas out of its place again?
 * Akasha: Probably Discord. Or Storm Cloud. It could be anyone, brother! In that case, we have to find that shadow crab now!
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, our ship is ready.
 * Coconut Crab: All aboard!
 * Jelo: Well, there's no time to lose. Let's go stop Captain Dark Shell!
 * Nebula: So, we're going to the pyramids of the shadowfish, if I understood correctly?
 * Captain Red Shell: Exactly.
 * Red Fork: And then we're going to show that shadow crab who's boss!
 * Richard: Yeah!
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, he's much tougher than you think. In fact, Akasha and I couldn't defeat him. The only way we stopped him was sealing him into the Shadow Dimension.
 * Jenny: But that was with only you two to fight him, right?
 * Akasha: Yes. Needless to say, it has been one of our toughest fights.
 * Jaiden: Jenny has a point. I'm sure that if we all work together, we'll have a much better chance of defeating him.
 * Blowy: Hopefully. That evil captain is very scary.
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah...
 * Green Shadow: However it has to happen, we can defeat Captain Dark Shell together! Or at the very least seal him in the Shadow Dimension again.
 * Red Ruby: If we're done talking, can we set sail now?
 * Captain Red Shell: We're at it.
 * Sean Sapphire: This brings back so many memories, like our constant battles with Captain Blowhole and his crew, and that one time Akasha betrayed us. Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since my last sea adventure on a ship.
 * Diana Diamond: Except the fact that Akasha isn't going to betray us this time.
 * Sean Sapphire: I know that. I still can't help but feel skeptical after thinking about it.
 * Toby Topaz: At least I feel more comfortable going to the pyramids this time, now that we have more friends with us.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yeah, the more the merrier!
 * Blowy: Agreed.
 * Jaiden: Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
 * Red Ruby: You just had to ask, didn't you?
 * Tommy: Aah!
 * Alice: The earthquake is causing tsunami waves!
 * Star: Yikes!
 * Blowy: This is it, we're gonna die!
 * Captain Red Shell: Not yet, sailor. Stand tall and be brave! We'll make it through any storm!
 * Blue Ocean: Technically, it's a tsunami caused by an earthquake.
 * Bonk Choy: Are you talking about the Ancient God-Element guys or...?
 * Starcade: I'm pretty sure he isn't.
 * Captain Red Shell: The point is still the same!
 * Marco: I don't really feel too good.... *about to throw up*
 * Bonk Choy: Does this ship have buckets or something? *pukes into the ocean*
 * Lincoln: Giant wave ahead!
 * Luan: Maybe it just wants to wave hello?
 * Marco: Too soon!
 * CypherDen: Hey Jaiden, do you think you can freeze that wave?
 * Jaiden: Good idea! I'll try.
 * Jaiden: Darn! Well, it was worth a shot...
 * Blast: How about we try doing it together?
 * Kyoji: That's a great idea. Let's do it. *charges up an ice blast*
 * Jaiden: Y'know what? That could possibly work!
 * Blast: We did it!
 * Captain Red Shell: Well done!
 * Rebecca: Hey, the earthquake stopped!
 * Bonk Choy: Yay!
 * Toby Topaz: Phew, we can finally have a smooth sailing ahead!
 * Sean Sapphire: I don't know, I fear this earthquake is only the smallest of our troubles.
 * Blue Ocean: Icebergs up ahead!
 * Blast: Look out! We don't want to end up like the Titanic!
 * Red Ruby: I know! Why don't I blow up those icebergs?
 * Sean Sapphire: You know what, that's not a bad idea. It's worth a shot.
 * Red Ruby: Well then, here I go!
 * Starry: It's working!
 * Gary Guppy: I wanna help too!
 * Sean Sapphire: Impressive.
 * Red Ruby: No big deal, Sean. Happy to blow things up.
 * Amelia Amethyst: We're nowhere near the pyramids, are we?
 * Captain Red Shell: Not yet, but we're getting closer.
 * Akasha: Hey, it's Peter the Penguin!
 * Bonk Choy: Wait, are you just naming a random penguin "Peter"?
 * Akasha: That's not just any random penguin, his name IS Peter! And that means...
 * Amelia Amethyst: The sea creatures are in danger!
 * Star: So wait...you know that penguin? Cool!
 * Starry: It's not cool!
 * Star: Uh, why?
 * Peter the Penguin: Look what the breeze has brought us today.
 * Random Penguin #1: It's a sushi bar!
 * Gerald: Uh, most of us aren't fish, y'know.
 * Red Fork: Hey, back off, oversized penguin!
 * Peter the Penguin: So, they brought more friends this time? No worries. Penguins, let's get ready for lunch!
 * Captain Red Shell: Leave the ship immediately.
 * Coconut Crab: Do as the captain says.
 * Peter the Penguin: Sorry, but we're not going anywhere. Nothing personal, but this is how the food chain works. I'm the predator, and you're the prey!
 * Red Fork: And what does that make me? *charges towards Peter Penguin*
 * Peter Penguin: Stupid. *uses his ice breathe to freeze the deck, causing Red Fork to slide across the deck and almost fall into the freezing ocean*
 * Red Fork: Whoa! *grabs on to the edge of the ship* Well, that's no good.
 * Lincoln: I'll help you!
 * Akasha: Sorry, Peter, but the kitchen here is closed!
 * Peter the Penguin: Aagh!
 * Scorch: On fire!
 * Peter the Penguin: What?
 * Scorch: You're on fire! *shoots large fire blasts at Peter the Penguin, setting him on fire*
 * Peter the Penguin: Aah! I'm burning! Aah!
 * Akasha: That's right, away you go.
 * Kyoji: Well done, Akasha.
 * Akasha: Thanks.
 * Bonk Choy: What do we do with these remaining penguins? *grabs and throws several penguins into the water at once*
 * Captain Red Shell: Get rid of them. *slashes the penguins away*
 * Red Fork: *gets back onto the ship* Whoa... who knew a penguin would be such a cold opponent? *laughs a bit* See what I did there?
 * Blue Ocean: *facepalm*
 * Peter Penguin: *emerges from the water* You think this is over? No way!
 * Peter Penguin: Time for round two. The king's round!
 * Blue Ocean: What the?
 * Peter the Penguin: It's clobbering time!
 * Blast: Ok, this is officially weird.
 * Akasha: Enough, Peter! You know very well you have no chance in eating our friends here, so just get out of here unless you want yourself some pain. *teleports away from Peter the Penguin to dodge his hammer*
 * Captain Red Shell: Alright, it is time to end this. *takes out his sword*
 * Peter the Penguin: I'm gonna clobber you and your friends! And then us penguins will have lunch!
 * Red Fork: That's it, I'm in!
 * Akasha: Alright, that's it. Hammer time is over, little birdie.
 * Peter the Penguin: There's nothing you can do against the king of penguins!
 * Captain Red Shell: Don't even try it.
 * Peter the Penguin: Whack-a-crab time!
 * Red Fork: I think I know what I'm going to choose. *comes towards Peter the Penguin* Hey, oversized penguin! You're not the only guy with a hammer now! *shows that he has a hammer too*
 * Peter the Penguin: You copycat!
 * Red Fork: I'm a pony, not a cat. Get your facts right.
 * Peter the Penguin: Hey, you'll pay for that!
 * Red Fork: Ouch...
 * Peter the Penguin: Penguin power!Meanwhile, Akasha easily shakes the penguins off of her, before firing a shadow blast at Peter the Penguin. The shadow blast deals heavy damage to him and also makes him drop his hammer.
 * Akasha: It's pathetic considering you thought you actually stood a chance against us.
 * Peter the Penguin: I'll be baaaaaack! *falls into the water*
 * Blast: Whoa, that was awesome!
 * Akasha: And there's more to come!
 * Bonk Choy: Welp, it's over, I guess.
 * Akasha: That penguin inflicted some pretty major damage to the ship. What a nuisance he was.
 * Sean Sapphire: I think we should move on now.
 * Captain Red Shell: You're right.
 * Jelo: That guys\ was pretty tough for a penguin.
 * Lemon Glass: I just hope we don't have to encounter him again.
 * Captain Red Shell: Coconut Crab, let's continue!
 * Coconut Crab: Aye aye, captain!
 * Captain Red Shell: This is it. We're here.
 * Red Ruby: About time!
 * Starcade: Huh, I don't see the pyramids anywhere.
 * Akasha: Well, they're underwater. We've got our diving suits, so we're good.
 * Green Shadow: You're right. We have to hurry, I'm not sure what Captain Dark Shell is up to but we have to find him quick!
 * Red Fork: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get on those diving suits and go check out the pyramids!
 * Green Shadow: If we're ready, we can set off.
 * Captain Red Shell: Remember, we're looking for the largest pyramid. That's where the Amulet of Dark Seas should be.
 * Jenny: So, that one over there? *points at the largest pyramid*
 * Captain Red Shell: Exactly.
 * Richard: Yep.
 * Akasha: Yes, it's that one.
 * Starcade: That's one cool-looking pyramid!
 * Green Shadow: We can talk more about it later.
 * Bonk Choy: Full speed ahead!
 * Blowy: Eek!
 * Tommy: I can't see anything!
 * Red Ruby: I can't see my own dynamite stick in front of my face!
 * Corolla: There's no light in here!
 * Diana Diamond: We need light to continue!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Easy! *sheds some light with her magic wand* If only Sakura were here, she could've lit up the pyramid completely.
 * Akasha: Then again, too much darkness renders her powers useless.
 * Red Ruby: Enough talk, let's blast our way to the amulet!
 * Red Fork: Yeah, let's go.
 * Blovy: Eek!
 * Marco: Everyone! Run!
 * Lisa: I believe you mean swim, since we're currently underwater.
 * Boom: It doesn't matter!
 * Marco: No time for corrections, we're about to get shot by arrows!
 * Tommy: Yikes!
 * Blue Ocean: Take cover! *creates a forcefield around the gang*.
 * Kernely: Phew, that was close.
 * Jenny: Yeah.
 * Blue Ocean: Good thing I'm quick with the forcefield. Pretty awesome, huh? Heh heh...
 * Red Fork: Look at what you've done!
 * Blue Ocean: Well, would you do it better?
 * Electra: Shut up and get moving!
 * Jelo: You've heard Electra, let's move!
 * Alice: Quick, let's go in there!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Good call!
 * Red Ruby: How did these traps return after the last time Gary Guppy and I blew them up?
 * Sean Sapphire: No time for that question, into the door!
 * Blast: Phew. Now that was even closer.
 * Captain Red Shell: Gang, we have arrived to the central chamber.
 * Akasha: Hey, the Amulet is gone! Well, someone obviously has been here.
 * Sean Sapphire: At least we know for sure Captain Dark Shell has been released from the Shadow Dimension.
 * Blowy: Oh no... that's not good!
 * Starry: But where is the amulet? And where is Captain Dark Shell?
 * Green Shadow: So that's how Captain Dark Shell looks like?
 * Akasha: That's right.
 * Captain Dark Shell: No tourists allowed.
 * Akasha: And no jerks like you allowed.
 * Sean Sapphire: Oooh, burn!!!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Here's your burn, brainless gem.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Does anyone else have something "smart" to say?
 * Akasha: Why don't you go back to the Shadow Dimension where you belong?
 * Captain Dark Shell: I challenge you to make me return!
 * Captain Red Shell: Take on someone form your own species, knight without any honor.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Honor? Honor is just a pathetic excuse made by weak and idiotic warrior in a useless attempt to overcome those who are stronger and smarter.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you guys think you're special? I don't care how many idiots you've defeated, anyone who challenges me is signing a death contract.
 * Akasha: Whatever. Do you think you're special yourself? I don't care how much of an idiot you are by thinking so, but anyone who challenges me is earning themselves a one-way ticket to hell.
 * Akasha: Simple fool, do you think you can't be defeated without being trapped in the Shadow Dimension?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Poor little souls. You think you have a chance against me.
 * Jelo: Whoa!
 * Richard: What's going on!?
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's the matter?
 * Red Fork: Oh, I'm going to get you good this time!
 * Ace: This is the end of the line, Captain Dark Shell.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Yes it is, but it's your line that will be ending.
 * Blast: Jason!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It's time you face the reality, gang. You're not the great heroes you thought you were. Every single victory you've had is just a result of luck on your behalf, and embarassing incompetence of the foes you call, "villains".
 * Blast: You're going to pay for this!
 * Alice: We're going to show you some respect!
 * Boom: Bring it on, edgy crab!
 * Electra: We'll take you down!
 * Blade: And we'll cut you down to size!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, really?
 * Captain Dark Shell: So soon? We're just warming up.
 * Richard: Wait until you see what I can do!
 * Kernely: We won't let you hurt our friends!
 * Captain Dark Shell: How many more of you will have to fall before you realize that you cannot win?
 * Kyoji: Numbers don't matter, Captain. What matters is honor and the heart for battle.
 * Takeshi: We're going to show you why you should never mess with the elemental ninjas!
 * Sasuke: Get ready to be sent to your watery grave!
 * Red Fork: That's it, time to get serious. Charge!
 * Captain Dark Shell: This is a battle you will not win. But that's ok. The only thing better than tearing your apart is demolishing your morale.
 * Jaiden: You're going to be demolished once we're done with you!
 * Cypher-Den: Elemental combo, girls.
 * Rebecca: Ready!
 * Tommy: He has it!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Consider yourselves doomed, worthless beings.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Foolish beings... it would be much easier for you to simply surrender. You'd have much less pain that way. But you know? Causing you all so much pain and suffering is making this all much better.
 * Captain Red Shell: We... won't give up.
 * Ace: You must be stopped.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Heroic comeback? I've seen it before. You're nothing special.
 * Ace: You don't scare me. As powerful as you are, I will not let you do this.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Then you will fall in pieces.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Teleporting behind me? That's the oldest trick in the shadow book. If that's the best you've got, then that's just sad.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you think you're special? You're just another shadow ninja. I fought hundreds of them in the past. And I have to say, you're nothing compared to the ones I fought back in the day. You're weak!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You're just a joke.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you see this? This is what happens when you mess with Captain Dark Shell! Even your strongest warriors have fallen to my sword. Red Fork, Akasha, Kyoji, and even "Ace", they've all failed to defeat me. What makes the rest of you think things will be any different with you? Does anyone dare try anything else? *points his sword at the remaining members of the gang.*
 * Tommy: *hides behind Lemon Glass* I'm scared.
 * Lemon Glass: Oh no...
 * Red Ruby: You think you scare me? I'll show you! *takes out a dynamite stick, but the fuse cannot be lit due to it being underwater* Yikes.
 * Toby Topaz: Oh no...
 * Amelia Amethyst: We're doomed...
 * Starcade: You're never going to win, just you wait!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I already have, worthless beings. In fact, I could simply kill you all right here, right now. But instead, I'll do something better. I'll seal you all away in the Shadow Dimension.
 * Lemon Glass: What!?
 * Jelo: You can't do that!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, yes I can. I've been imprisoned in that grim and depressive dimension for aeons. It's about time you guys experience for yourselves everything I've suffered.
 * Lemon Glass: No! *trying to swim away from the portal*
 * Blowy: I don't want to go to the Shadow Dimension! *trying to swim away from the portal*
 * Captain Dark Shell: Resistance is futile. No one can escape the dark, hellish portal of the Shadow Dimension.
 * Jelo: Are you sure? We'll see about tha- *gets sucked in* -AAAHHH!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Farewell. Try and enjoy your last moments of life, before the the shady beings of this dimension end your existence. As for me, it's time to continue what I began so long ago.
 * Jelo: What is this place? It looks even gloomier than Galaximus' Lair!
 * Coconut Crab: It's... it's... the Shadow Dimension.
 * Jelo: Well, that explains why it looks so depressing.
 * Akasha: How is this possible? The amulet is supposed to trap him!
 * Coconut Crab: He must have altered the amulet somehow. Whatever he did, this is terrible on so many levels.
 * Akasha: Unless someone else altered the amulet for him.
 * Starcade: Perhaps Discord?
 * Green Shadow: Maybe not.
 * Akasha: But there's no way for him to alter the amulet while in the Shadow Dimension...
 * Coconut Crab: Unless there's some other way out... in that case, we'd have to find it, and fast!
 * Sean Sapphire: What the?
 * Jaiden: Where...are...we?
 * Corolla: Ugh...where am I...
 * Red Ruby: Where's that Captain Dark Shell at?! I'll kill him!
 * Gary Garnet: Don't be ridiculous. There's no way you'll be able to do that.
 * Diana Diamond: Where are we anyway?
 * Akasha: The Shadow Dimension.
 * Captain Red Shell: This is terrible. If we're sealed in the Shadow Dimension... Captain Dark Shell will be able to take over our world, and possibly even other dimensions.
 * Star: That's terrible!
 * Ace: Do not worry, captain. There's a solution to everything, you know.
 * Captain Red Shell: What would that be? There's no way out of this dimension.
 * Ace: There is. The fact that Captain Dark Shell escaped is proof of it.
 * Red Fork: I'm listening.
 * Ace: You see, I'm suspecting that the amulet we saw Captain Dark Shell isn't the real Amulet of the Dark Seas.
 * Blue Ocean: Huh!?
 * Starry: Well, that would explain why the portal sucked us in instead of him.
 * Akasha: A fake? Of course, I should've known!
 * Kyoji: *wakes up* What's happening?
 * Akasha: We're in the Shadow Dimension, Kyoji. We're finding our way out of here now, which I suspect that we can do so by finding the real amulet.
 * Ace: You see, this dimension may look intimidating, but it's very similar to our dimension in several ways. In fact, I think we can find the real Amulet of the Dark Seas right here. If I'm correct, when you removed the Amulet of the Dark Seas the first time, it caused an interruption in the balance of the flow of dark energy between dimensions. That might have weakened the spell used to seal Captain Dark Shell, allowing him to escape. In any case, the amulet he had is most likely only a similar amulet that belongs in this dimension, so the real amulet should be here.
 * Akasha: Wow, that's confusing.
 * Jelo: While I may not have joined on your adventures, I'll try my best to simplify it. What Ace is saying is that this dimension is kinda like our dimension in some ways. He says the real amulet must be here, and Dark Shell is using a replica that belongs to this dimension.
 * Green Shadow: Well, if the amulet is here, we'd better start finding it!
 * Blue Ocean: But where do we search?
 * Ace: That's the problem. I don't know where we're supposed to search.
 * Boom: So, we have to find an amulet that can be anywhere in this huge dimension? Yeah, we're doomed.
 * ???: You're doomed for sure!
 * Electra: Who are you?
 * Red Fork: Hey! You remind me of this old pony scientist I know.
 * ???: What? I'm like no one else! My name is Shadow Spark, and I'm the world's greatest scientist!
 * Red Fork: Gee, you even talk like that guy too...
 * Shadow Spark: I don't know who you guys are, or what you're doing here, but you shouldn't be here. This territory is mine. In fact, you should stay away from all Shadow Creek!
 * Green Shadow: Shadow Creek?
 * Starcade: Shadow Creek, really? Come on, show some creativity!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Excuse me, Shadow Spark, but have you seen an amulet around here?
 * Jelo: We really need it on account of saving the world.
 * Shadow Spark: An amulet? Of course not. What makes you think I'd know about any amulets?
 * Red Fork: Well, you're the brightest, right? Of course you'd know about a simple amulet.
 * Shadow Spark: Fine! I do know! But I can't say anything about it. Now leave my territory!
 * Akasha: Your territory? Not anymore, it ain't!
 * Red Ruby: We're gonna blow you up if you don't give up!
 * Toby Topaz: So, Mr. Shadow Spark, we don't wanna fight you but can you please give us the amulet? It'll make things better for all of us...
 * Shadow Spark: I don't have it! I said I know the amulet, not that I have it. Now get out of Shadow Creek, unless you want trouble!
 * Red Fork: Hey, chill out sparky. If you don't have it, then just tell us where it is.
 * Shadow Spark: I can't! Now scram!
 * Blast: Just like home. Villains never do things the easy way.
 * Red Fork: Well, I guess we're going to have to defeat you, then.
 * Shadow Spark: Defeat me? Ha! No one has done that in years!
 * Shadow Spark: It's time to wreck you guys into pieces!
 * Bonk Choy: It's coming in like a...
 * Green Shadow: Don't bother. We see where it's going.
 * Shadow Spark: Eesh, annoying ice powers. I've dealt with them many times already.
 * Red Fork: Gee, who thought that a more evil version of Bright Spark would stick to such a well-known trick as the wrecking ball?
 * Shadow Spark: Just watch this!
 * Shadow Spark: Such power exceeds even My expectations. Hah! My own genius scares me sometimes.
 * Blue Ocean: That means you've miscalculated, that's a failure in my book.
 * Shadow Spark: To surpass expectations is the ultimate of genius. I wouldn't expect you to understand.
 * Akasha: I understand what it means, it means that you're doomed.
 * Kyoji: We just need the amulet, Shadow Spark. If you won't let us get it, we'll have to do this the hard way.
 * Shadow Spark: Agh! I guess it's time for plan B.
 * Shadow Spark: Dragon-bot, ready for battle!
 * Takeshi: That's a lot of flames! *combines his electric forcefield with Electra's*
 * Sasuke: Eat water, dragon!
 * Rebecca: Hey Sasuke, need some help?
 * Sasuke: Sure, the more water the merrier! *tosses more water bombs into the Dragon-bot's mouth*
 * Rebecca: Okay! Splashdown! *throws water bombs at the Dragon-bot's mouth*
 * Lisa: According to my calculations, we're going to need a few hundred more water bombs.
 * Shadow Spark: Hey, stop that!
 * Sasuke: Looks like it wants more! More water is always welcome!
 * Shadow Spark: Ugh! No way!
 * Akasha: So what were you saying about being the world's greatest scientist?
 * Red Ruby: Now tell us where that blasted amulet is!
 * Shadow Spark: Look, I'd tell you where it is, but last time I saw Captain Dark Shell he threatened to kill me if I ever told anyone what happened to the amulet.
 * Red Ruby: I don't care! Tell us! *takes out a dynamite stick and points it at Shadow Spark*
 * Star: Red, I don't think that's a good idea.
 * Red Ruby: Well, I have to try anyway!
 * Shadow Spark: *rolls his eyes, and presses a button causing an anvil to fall on Red Ruby, knocking him out* Gee, what an annoying being.
 * Blast: Hey, just tell us where the amulet is. We already defeated your big machine.
 * Shadow Spark: But Captain Dark Shell threatened to kill me if I told anyone.
 * Red Fork: Look sparkster, we're going to take care of Captain Dark Shell. Besides, if you tell us, we'll promise to not let him know you told us.
 * Shadow Spark: Fine! But only because you're more trouble than you're worth! Captain Dark Shell shattered the amulet, and then went to spread the pieces all over the dimension.
 * Blast: What!? He shattered the amulet!?
 * Alice: Hm... though I think that if we recollect all the pieces, we might be able to repair the amulet. Kyoji, do you still have the Automated Mix-n-Matcher 4000 Starcade gave you on your birthday?
 * Kyoji: I do. I only use it in emergency situations, but I guess it's about time I brought it out again. *takes out the Automated Mix-n-Matcher 4000 from his pocket*
 * Starcade: Phew, I almost thought you forgot about it.
 * Kyoji: I'll never do that. Anyway, if Shadow Spark is correct, we'll have to travel across the Shadow Dimension and look for the remaining shards of the amulet.
 * Blue Ocean: How do we find them, though?
 * Shadow Spark: That's easy. Captain Dark Shell gave one shard of the amulet to some of the other villains around here. FInding them will be the easy part, but they won't give up the shards so easily, since they're just as terrified of that captain as I am.
 * Red Fork: So we'll have to fight each of them in order to get the shards back?
 * Shadow Spark: Exactly.
 * Blue Ocean: Could you give us a list of the places we should go to find the villains?
 * Shadow Spark: They're each in their own territories. Here's a list of the villains that have any shard with them. SIx villains in total. I don't have any shards with me, however. *gives the gang a list*
 * Lincoln: Thanks.
 * Toby Topaz: Thanks, Mr. Shadow Spark.
 * CypherDen: Okay guys, we got what we need to find the amulet pieces!
 * Amelia Amethyst: What does the list say anyway?
 * Red Fork: Hm... *sees the list* Wow, I guess Shadow Spark won't be the only familiar villain we're going to encounter.
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, there's no time to lose. We must hurry. Every minute we spend here is another minute Captain Dark Shell will use to take over our world.
 * Akasha: No way that's going to happen.
 * Green Shadow: So where are we headed to first?
 * Red Fork: *reads the list* Looks like we'll be heading to Darkburbia first.
 * Green Shadow: Darkburbia? Oh no, I think I have an idea on who we're up against. Let's quickly go there.
 * Ace: Indeed, let's go.
 * Windy Sails: Hey, Iron Heart, come check this out!
 * Iron Heart: What's the matter?
 * Windy Sails: There's a strange dark crab coming to the coast. Do you know who he might be?
 * Iron Heart: He seems pretty similar to Captain Red Shell.
 * Catpain Dark Shell: I'm much more powerful than that useless squire.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Take over the city!
 * Iron Heart: We won't have any of it.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Soldiers, take care of those two worthless ponies.
 * Captain Dark Shell: No one will stand in my way.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Time to go into town. Army, follow me!
 * Sakura: What is going on? And why are there crabs attacking our city?
 * Hissy: I can ask the same question.
 * Nutty: Me too.
 * Mimic: Me too.
 * Chimp: What do we do?
 * Leech: *flies over* I'll tell you what we'll do. We fight for the forest of Echo Creek!
 * Nutty: Hey, it's Sally!
 * Mimic: Hey, it's Sally!
 * Hissy: What brings you here?
 * Leech: The Bat Kingdom is in danger. I promised the Bat King to help you guys defend the forests of Echo Creek. And the city too.
 * Chimp: How do we do that without Queen Emma around?
 * Leech: We have to try!
 * Hissy: She's right. When there's a will, there's a way.
 * Nutty: Now let's fight for the forest!
 * Sakura: Hmm...what a strange bunch of animals. And they talk? It doesn't matter, I must focus on the task at hand.
 * Captain Dark Shell: You decide to fight? Unwise decision.
 * Sakura: I've nearly destroyed the whole of Icicle Isle by myself! Do you think I can't fight?
 * Nutty: No!
 * Mimic: No!
 * Nutty: Stop copying me! We need another tactic and fast!
 * Leech: Hmm, I got one. Just watch!
 * Hissy: I've never seen Leech turn one of her victims into a vampire, but I'm curious to see if it is real.
 * Nutty: I don't know, it's probably just a gothic myth.
 * Captain Dark Shell: None of you stands a chance.
 * Nutty: We need more allies!
 * Mimic: We need more allies!
 * Leech: Understood. I'll go get some more.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Tearing you apart will be sheer delight.
 * Green Shadow: Hmm...where is he?
 * Bonk Choy: Wait, who are we looking for again?
 * Red Fork: According to the list, Dark Re-Peat Boss should be somewhere around here. He's got the first shard of the amulet.
 * Bonk Choy: Dark Re-Peat Boss?
 * Re-Peat Moss: Well, that sounds worse than TRICKY.
 * Jelo: It sure does, considering the dimension we're in.
 * Bonk Choy: Let's go find him and beat him up!
 * Red Ruby: Yeah!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Where is he anyway?
 * Red Fork: He's supposed to have a base around here. Let's check around, shall we?
 * Green Shadow: A base...of course! Re-Peat Boss always has one lying around.
 * Starcade: Well, let's go find it then!
 * Star: Are we there yet?
 * Lisa: Negative.
 * Jelo: We have to keep looking if we want to get out of this place.
 * Green Shadow: True.
 * Bonk Choy: Hey, doesn't this place look very similar to our home?
 * Green Shadow: Yes, it does. So far, Darkburbia has been pretty much very similar to Suburbia in many ways. Perhaps I might be able to locate the base. It should be around here somewhere.
 * Lincoln: Why not use a GPS?
 * Jelo: No internet connection.
 * Blue Ocean: No internet? No internet!? What kind of place is this!?
 * Green Shadow: The Shadow Dimension? But there's no time to complain about the lack of internet right now.
 * Blue Ocean: Ok...
 * Red Fork: Green Shadow, lead the way.
 * Green Shadow: Alright. If I recall correctly, Dark Re-Peat Boss' base should be nearby.
 * Red Fork: Well, here it is.
 * Boom: This is going to be easy. Let's break in and take the shard!
 * Alice: Calm down there for a second.
 * Boom: Why? He stands no chance against us!
 * Alice: I know, but we should still be careful. This moss might be tougher than Re-Peat Boss.
 * Electra: Meh, how much trouble can he be? Even Shadow Spark went down fairly easy.
 * Red Fork: Well, let's go inside the base.
 * Bonk Choy: Should be no trouble at all. How bad can it be?
 * Toby Topaz: Uh, really bad?
 * Star: Hey Dark Re-Peat Boss! Where are you?
 * ??? #1: Destroy them.
 * ??? #2: Immediately!
 * ??? #2: Take that, weakling!
 * Star: Ow! "*pulls out her wand and shoots a rainbow blast at ??? #1*
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: What's this I'm seeing? A group of lowly trespassers in my lair?
 * Boom: We know you have one of the shards of the Amulet of Dark Seas. Give it, or else!
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: The Amulet of the Dark Seas?
 * Dark Boss Choy: Shards?
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: We know nothing about them, nor do we have whatever shard you're blabbering about. Now leave or my Moss-Bot will be the last thing you'll ever see.
 * CypherDen: Bring it on!
 * Boom: We're not afraid!
 * Richard: We need those shards!
 * Red Fork: If you're not going to give it to us, we'll have to fight you.
 * Green Shadow: We'll take that shard like it or not.
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: So be it. Dark Boss Choy?
 * Dark Boss Choy: Yes?
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Stop those trespassers!
 * Dark Boss Choy: Okay! Coming right up!
 * Bonk Choy: *gets knocked back* Ouch...
 * Re-Peat Moss: *gets knocked back* Owie...
 * Red Ruby: *gets knocked back* That felt nothing, is that all you got?
 * Toby Topaz: *gets knocked back* On the other hand, that felt painful...*faints*
 * Marco: Guys! Are you okay?
 * Red Fork: Two can play that game! Charge!
 * Dark Boss Choy: Eat weed, you fat horse!
 * Green Shadow: *fires peas at Dark Boss Choy* He's not a fat horse, he's a pony. Show him some respect!
 * Dark Boss Choy: *rolls his eyes* Respect? That's boring.
 * Red Fork: Too slow?
 * Boom: Team, now!
 * Electra: Got it!
 * Socrch: Fire!
 * Blade: Ready!
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Foolish humans.
 * Blue Ocean: Look out! *creates a forcefield around the gang*
 * Red Fork: *jumps only to land on Dark Boss Choy again* Are you ready to give up yet, Dark Boss Choy?
 * Dark Boss Choy: *injured and exhausted* No!
 * Red Fork: Two can play that game!
 * Red Fork: Oops...
 * Alice: Watch out!
 * Lisa: Falling object coming in 5 minutes from now!
 * Dark Boss Choy: Five minutes? That's more than enough time for me to take you all down!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Close one.
 * Dark Boss Choy: Come out of that forcefield and face me like a true fighter! *continues to throw objects at the forcefield*
 * Jelo: Gang, I got an idea. It might sound stupid, but it's worth a shot.
 * Green Shadow: What idea do you have in mind?
 * Jelo: *whispering to Green Shadow* I'm going out of the forcefield.
 * Green Shadow: *whispering back* What? Why? Dark Boss Choy will knock you out within seconds!
 * Jelo: *whispering back* I'm going to dodge all the flying objects Dark Boss Choy will throw at me. Then, I'm going to jump on one of them and slash Dark Boss Choy with my sword.
 * Red Fork: Or, we could do this.
 * Jelo: That could work too.
 * Red Fork: Give up!
 * Dark Boss Choy: No!
 * Richard: And while you're at it, cool down! *lobs frozen watermelons at the Moss-bot*
 * Alice: And take a plasma blast! *shoots plasma blasts at Dark Boss Choy with her plasma cannon*
 * Starcade: Just give us the shard already, you know you can't beat all of us.
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: For the last time, we don't have it! So scram!
 * Dark Boss Choy: And while you're at it, here's some souvenirs for you!
 * Starcade: Give up the shard.
 * Dark Boss Choy: I don't have it!
 * Starcade: Sure...
 * Dark Boss Choy: I'm serious! Dark Re-Peat Boss never entrusts me to keep anything safe!
 * Starcade: And that's why you don't have a shard of the Amulet of the Dark Seas with you?
 * Dark Boss Choy: Nah, I swear! Let me go and I'll promise to empty my pockets!
 * Starcade: Hmm...nope. I think I can do that myself.
 * Dark Boss Choy: But...
 * Starcade: Sorry, Dark Boss Choy, but we really need that shard. You understand.
 * Starcade: He was right. He doesn't have the shard. But that means it's Dark Re-Peat Boss who has the shard.
 * Green Shadow: Starcade? How are things going back there?
 * Starcade: I took care of Dark Boss Choy. He doesn't have the shard, however. Which only means that the moss is the one who has the shard.
 * Red Fork: Well, this ought to be fun. *looking at Dark Re-Peat Boss, ready for more action*
 * Boom: Everyone get him!
 * Green Shadow: Our attacks aren't strong enough against that forcefield!
 * Akasha: Or we can use an elemental combo to destroy it. Simple.
 * Red Fork: Seems reasonable.
 * Blast: Scorch, Electra, Rebecca, Jason, let's do this.
 * Boom: Ok, now we can destroy him.
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: No! My greatest creation, it's ruined!
 * Starcade: So how about that shard? Are you going to give it up? *points one of her laser pistols at Dark Re-Peat Boss*
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Argh, please! Don't hurt me!
 * Starcade: So are you handing over that shard or not?
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Ah! Alright, you win! Here you go! *gives a shard of the Amulet of the Dark Seas* Just please...don't hurt me or my leafy accomplice...
 * Boom: Well, now that you mention it, that might be fun to do...
 * Red Fork: *levitates Boom away from Dark Re-Peat Boss & Dark Boss Choy* Ok, calm down there, Boom. I think they've had enough.
 * Red Ruby: Geez, what a way to stop people, Red Fork.
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Great, now we'll all be dead. Captain Dark Shell will kill us both once he finds out that you took the shard we're supposed to protect from the likes of you!
 * Dark Boss Choy: Game over, man! Game over!
 * Red Ruby: For the record, I don't care. You deserve it.
 * Red Fork: Don't freak out. I'm sure that dark crustacean is going to be angrier with us than you.
 * Lincoln: Yeah.
 * Blue Ocean: Well, one shard, five more to go!
 * Blue Ocean: We've got Dark Re-Peat Boss's shard!
 * Jelo: Okay gang, we need to prepare for what happens next.
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Whatever. If you're going to stop Captain Dark Shell, I wish you good luck. His presence has been tormenting us and the other dwellers of the Shadow Dimension. So please, go and get the other shards, and use then to get rid of that dark crustacean for good! He's a tough adversary, but from how quickly you took us down, I'm sure you can slay that beast.
 * Green Shadow: We can't guarantee that we'll kill him, but we'll stop him.
 * Dark Re-Peat Boss: Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me, Dark Boss Choy and I would like to repair our base. Good luck again in stopping Captain Dark Shell.
 * Blade: Thanks. Uh... have a nice day.
 * Blue Ocean: Where to next, Red Fork?
 * Red Fork: According to this list, our next destination will be... Dark Baker Alley?
 * CypherDen: Let me guess, there's a Dark Doughleficent?
 * Gary Garnet: Most likely.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Cookies?
 * Toby Topaz: Cakes?
 * Red Ruby: Thinking of food isn't going to get us anywhere! Let's go right now and get that shard!
 * Boom: Who is Doughleficent?
 * Blast: Oh yeah, you haven't met her yet.
 * Alice: Well, there's going to be a dark version of her, so I guess that's close enough?
 * Red Fork: Let's go gang!
 * Green Shadow: So we're headed for Dark Baker Alley then. Let's go!
 * Jelo: Let's g- oh, never mind, you guys already said it. Carry on.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Go on, army of mine. Show these inferior beings the true meaning of fear.
 * ???: Uh....stop right there!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Huh? Who dares to challenge the legendary warrior of centuries, the destroyer of worlds, the conqueror of kingdoms, the killer of ninjas, Captain Dark Shell?
 * Leni: Okay, so let me introduce myself. I'm Leni! A bunch of animals told me what you're doing is NoT good.
 * Captain Dark Shell: What do you plan to do? You're just an insignificant human. Do you think you can do anything to stop me? Come on, show me what you've got, foolish weakling.
 * Assorted Cookie: I'm here too. I have come to stop you upon the tip I received from a vampire bat. You won't take over Baker Street!
 * Luna: I'm here too. What you're doing is not cool at all.
 * Janna: Agreed.

Suddenly, Leni, Luna, Janna and Assorted Cookie see dozens of shadow crab soldiers running towards them, ready to attack, while Captain Dark Shell does a sinister laugh. ''Assorted Cookie hits the ground with his candy cane, giving out a signal. A few cookies emerge from their hiding spots, before charging towards the shadow crab soldiers.'' ''Several shadow crab soldiers are knocked back by the sound wave, and others engage combat with the cookies. However, dozens are still charging towards the allies. Suddenly, one of them is hit by a tennis ball, another is hit by a cup of coffee, and another is hit by a book. The allies see as Orange Cookie, Coffee Cookie and Blackberry Cookie have arrived.'' Captain Dark Shell creates a powerful shadow wave with his sword, knocking the allies into a wall. ''Captain Dark Shell continues to send more shadow waves towards the allies, leaving them very weak. The last one hits Coffee Cookie.'' As Captain Dark Shell comes closer, he suddenly hears something. A cookie-shaped being in black armor charges towards Captain Dark Shell, hitting him with a mace. Captain Dark Shell uses a shadow art to levitate The Dark Knight in his armor, and smash him into a wal, before using a shadow wave to knock off all of his armor, revealing him to be Green Tea Cookie. ''Captain Dark Shell spins Green Tea Cookie around, before tossing him away. Green Tea Cookie lands two blocks away. Everyone else watches in horror as Green Tea Cookie is left unconscious.'' ''Assorted Cookie takes out several bottles of icing, before firing projectiles of icing at Captain Dark Shell and the shadow crab warriors. Captain Dark Shell deflects the projectiles with his sword.'' Captain Dark Shell creates yet another shadow wave, which knocks out Assorted Cookie. ''With one powerful shadow wave from his sword, Captain Dark Shell knocks out the remaining allies. Leech sees this from behind the bushes, before flying away from Baker Street to get more allies. Meanwhile, in the Shadow Dimension, it's already sunset, and the gang is reaching Dark Cookie Alley.'' ''Red Ruby throws a dynamite stick towards Dark Cookie Alley, creating a loud and huge explosion. Suddenly, the gang sees as Dark Doughleficent comes towards them.'' A huge wave of gingerbread zombies is approaching! ''The gang searches around Dark Cookie Alley for any sweet ingredients they can use against the gingerbread zombies.  The gang loads icing into Gary Garnet's futuristic cannon, which fires bags of icing at the mob of gingerbread zombies, neutralizing several gingerbread zombies as the icing hits them.'' The elemental combo defeats Dark Doughleficent, causing her to drop the shard she had. Blue Ocean writes a check next to "Dark Doughleficent on the list". ''As the gang goes off to find the next shard, Captain Dark Shell continues to take more and more territories for himself.  Half of the army of shadow crab soldiers gets ready to go with Captain Dark Shell to another dimension. Red Spoons sees this from a distance.'' ''As the shadow crab soldiers enter the portal, Red Spoon finds the way to sneak into the portal as well. He sees the army has entered in the Food Dimension.'' ''Red Spoon hides in a bush. As he sees one of the shadow crab soldiers pass, he knocks out the crab with one hit on the head with his frying pan. He then pulls the crab into the bush. Red Spoon takes the crab's shell, sword and shield, and then goes towards the government center.'' Red Spoon arrives at the government center, and sees that there's already shadow crab soldiers trying to break into the Food Pyramid. ''Red Spoon uses his magic to teleport into the Food Pyramid. The food delegates are inside, terrified of the army that's heading towards them.'' However, when Pierre Le Pain sees "the crab soldier" come towards him, he instantly gets scared and hides behind Florette. ''Red Spoon leads the food delegates out of the Food Pyramid, and towards the portal to Earth. However, as they escape, they watch in horror how the shadow crab soldiers are destroying their entire dimension. Buildings on fire, foods running in panic, and entire villages left in ruins.'' ''Red Spoon and the food delegates escape through the portal to Earth, leaving the Food Dimension burning behind them. Meanwhile, the gang arrives at the coast, ready to confront Captain Dark Blowhole.'' Meanwhile, Captain Dark Blowhole is yelling commands at his army. Captain Dark Blowhole and his army of dark electric dolphins swim closer to the coasts, while aiming their blowholes at the gang. ''Captain Dark Blowhole and his army fire jets of electric water from their blowholes at the gang, while swimming closer to the coasts at the same time. Blue Ocean creates a forcefield around the gang, protecting them.'' Red Ruby throws several dynamite sticks at Captain Dark Blowhole, who fires electric water jets to douse them before they can explode. ''The electric dolphins draw their swords, before charging towards the gang. Amelia Amethyst quickly raises a forcefield to protect the gang from the swords.'' ''Scorch starts shooting fire blasts recklessly at the electric dolphins. Blade tosses cutting blades at them as well. While they manage to take out a few electric dolphins, the rapid sword attacks dealt by the electric dolphins quickly destroy Amelia Amethyst's forcefield, leaving the gang exposed.'' ''The electric dolphins charge towards the gang again.  While Captain Dark Blowhole's army continues hacking their swords away at the forcefield, Captain Dark Blowhole himself begins attacking the gang members who stepped out of the forcefield by slashing at them with his sword. Captain Red Shell fights back with his own sword, engaging in a one-on-one duel with Captain Dark Blowhole. Meanwhile, Boom begins to fly around the electric dolphins, giving them powerful punches.'' ''The electric dolphins fire jets of electric water simultaneously at Boom, while Sean Sapphire takes down several electric dolphins with his sword skills. Meanwhile, Captain Dark Blowhole continues his duel against Captain Red Shell.'' ''The gang continues fighting the electric dolphins, until they eventually defeat all of them, leaving Captain Dark Blowhole himself to be left. However, at the same time, the fight has left the gang exhausted. Meanwhile, Captain Dark Blowhole continues fighting Captain Red Shell.'' Captain Red Shell concentrates all his energy on his Sword of Crabbagnon, and the sword shoots a powerful light wave that weakens Captain Dark Blowhole on contact. Captain Dark Blowhole fires a jet of electric water at Captain Red Shell, weakening him as well. ''Captain Dark Blowhole continues firing more jets of electric water at Captain Red Shell. However, Captain Red Shell dodges the jets of electric water, and continues shooting more light waves.'' Captain Dark Blowhole deflects most of the light waves with his sword, but gets knocked out by the last one and faints. Red Ruby throws a dynamite stick at Captain Dark Blowhole, dropping his shard and sending him flying high in the air and back into the ocean. However, the gang sees that it's getting darker. ''The gang starts searching for shelter. They soon find a cavern not too far away from Shadow Creek.'' The gang enters the cavern. ''The gang explores the cavern to look for food. As they go further into the cavern, it gets even darker, to the point where the gang can't see anything.'' Red Fork uses his horn to generate light. ''The gang continues to make their way through the cavern trying to find food. However, while they explore, they see a large silhouette approaching them, with the shape of a large four-legged animal. They then hear a loud roar.'' ''The animal comes closer. It's a bear!'' Red Ruby is about to throw the dynamite stick at the bear, but Emma Emerald quickly tosses it out of his hands with a vine. The bear roars at them again, and begins to run towards them. Emma Emerald approaches the bear and creates a root wall to block its path, before attempting to communicate with the bear. ''Blade tosses a cutting blade at a tree, cutting off some of its branches. Red Fork then uses his magic to levitate the branches into the cavern.'' Red Ruby throws a dynamite stick at the wood, setting it on fire to create a campfire. Red Fork then grabs a stick from the remaining wood, and uses it to cook the fish. Meanwhile, in The Forest of Confusia, Team Hybrids is resting in their base, when all of a sudden, they see Paula Python enter the base quickly, looking pretty scared. ''Paula Python leads Team Hybrids to the army of shadow crabs. There, they don't only see an army of powerful shadow crab warriors destroying the forest, but they also see a larger shadow crab, floating in the air as he watches the mayhem the army is causing in the forest.'' The shadow crab that was floating turns around, looking at Team Hybrids. ''Dyna-Matic flies into the air, before firing explosives directly at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell shoots shadow blasts at the explosives, causing them to blow up before they get close enough to Captain Dark Shell.'' ''Ink Splash covers the ground in her blue ink, and then begins to shoot magic blasts at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell creates a shadow forcefield to protect himself from the magic blasts, and then shoots several shadow blasts at Ink Splash. Ink Splash turns into her inkling form, and swims around in the ink to dodge the shadow blasts. Meanwhile, Captain Dark Shell concentrates his power, and showers Team Hybrids with shadow blasts. Magi-Knight creates a magic forcefield to protect himself and Team Hybrids from the shadow blasts. Octo-Phantom swims around the ink as well before sneaking her way towards Captain Dark Shell and unleashing haunted attacks on him. The attacks hit Captain Dark Shell's forcefield, which is able to stand the damage.'' ''Whacker Weed runs out of the forcefield, dodging the shadow blasts and firing ice blasts at Captain Dark Shell. The shadow forcefield is getting weaker, but still manages to sustain the damage.'' ''Captain Dark Shell lifts his sword up into the air, and suddenly, the sky turns dark, as if it were suddenly nighttime. Ink Splash comes back to her pony form, and shoots more magic blasts at Captain Dark Shell. This fails to destroy the shadow forcefield.'' ''Captain Dark Shell concentrates his power, and shoots a shadow beam at Ink Splash, which she counters with a magic beam. Both powerful beings continue to struggle to overpower the other's beam. However, after struggling for a few seconds, Captain Dark Shell manages to overpower Ink Splash's beam. The shadow beam hits her, dealing massive damage on Ink Splash. Ink Splash falls to the ground, looking weak.'' ''Paula grabs Captain Dark Shell with her tails, and begins to squeeze him like a prey. However, Captain Dark Shell breaks free with a powerful explosion of dark energy, injuring Paula Python in the process. Ink Splash stands up again, looking furious, and grows to giant size.'' ''Ink Splash attempts to smash Captain Dark Shell with her hooves. Captain Dark Shell uses a shadow art to fly around, dodging Ink Splash's hooves. He then uses another shadow art to levitate Ink Splash, and toss her at the rest of her team. Being in her giant size, Ink Splash falls on the rest of her team, smashing them all. Ink Splash returns back to her normal size, only to find that she and all her allies are very injured.'' ''Captain Dark Shell waves his sword up in the air. Team Hybrids suddenly finds themselves surrounded by hundreds of shadow crab warriors.'' The army of shadow crab warriors pounces onto them, attacking them with their spears and swords, as Captain Dark Shell watches with an evil smile. Ink Splash desperately tries to stand up and fight, but she's already been weakened and injured too much by Captain Dark Shell's attacks. Magi-Knight stands up once more and fights a few crab soldiers, but is quickly taken down before he can even cast a spell. Captain Dark Shell shoots a final shadow blast at Team Hybrids, making them black out.
 * Captain Dark Shell: So three weak humans and a fancy cookie are who comes to challenge me? How pathetic. I heard this dimension was full of powerful heroes. This is just shameful. Shadow crabs, seize them!
 * Luna: Get ready to rock! *plays a sonic boom at the shadow crab soldiers*
 * Assorted Cookie: Go, my friends! Show them what you're made of!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Worthless inferior beings...
 * Assorted Cookie: You're here. But you shouldn't be, this area is too dangerous!
 * Coffee Cookie: We know. But we have to help defend our home.
 * Blackberry Cookie: In times of need, all of us must remain together to prevail.
 * Orange Cookie: We won't let that meanie beat you guys up.
 * Captain Dark Shell: So, more cookies decide to join the party? Very well, that means more victims for my army to destroy.
 * Assorted Cookie: *fighting several shadow crab soldiers at once* Why do you intend to take over our home? There's nothing we have to offer!
 * Captain Dark Shell: But there is. Your territory is an important strategic point on this map. Besides, just imagine the looks on the faces of your friends when they've seen your small town turned into ruins!
 * Coffee Cookie: Ouch!
 * ???: Charge!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Who are you? Show yourself!
 * ???: I'm the Dark Knight! You will not hurt Sarah on my guard!
 * Coffee Cookie: Green Tea Cookie?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Miserable cookie.
 * Green Tea Cookie: *looking scared* I... ah...
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's the matter? Scared, cowardly cookie?
 * Green Tea Cookie: Let me go! Don't hurt me! *trying to free himself from Captain Dark Shell's shadow art*
 * Captain Dark Shell: Resistance is futile!
 * Coffee Cookie: Green Tea Cookie!
 * Orange Cookie: I can't believe I've saying this, but I feel bad for him.
 * Captain Dark Shell: That's what happens to anyone who dares to challenge me? Who is next?
 * Assorted Cookie: That will never stop us from stopping you. Here, have some icing!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Well, isn't that sweet?
 * Orange Cookie: Assorted Cookie!
 * Blackberry Cookie: This isn't good.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Sleep tight.
 * Lincoln: While this place looks really dark and depressing, at least the sunsets look nice.
 * Alice: Well, at least that's something good about this place.
 * Red Fork: Well, now we have to find Dark Doughleficent. But where is she?
 * Blue Ocean: I'd use my magic radar to find her, but there's no internet in this place!
 * Green Shadow: We established that already.
 * Lisa: We don't need internet.
 * Blue Ocean: My magic radar does require it.
 * Red Fork: I'm sure there must be a way to find her.
 * Starcade: If only Assorted Cookie was here, he could've helped us look for her.
 * Alice: Yeah... but there has to be another way to find her.
 * Red Fork: Well... Shadow Spark did say that the villains each owned their own territories. Maybe Dark Doughleficent will come out if she thinks we're a threat to her territory.
 * Red Ruby: So let's threaten her then! *takes out a dynamite stick*
 * Sean Sapphire: What exactly is your plan here?
 * Red Ruby: I'm gonna lure her out of that territory with an explosion!
 * Jelo: Sounds risky, but it's a good plan. Ruby, go!
 * Blast: Ok, go ahead.
 * Boom: Gee, turns out he does have a brain after all.
 * Red Ruby: Finally, you do realize it.
 * Red Fork: *punches Boom* Stop it.
 * Red Ruby: Alley oop!
 * Dark Doughleficent: Hey! Get out of my town, now!
 * Red Ruby: No, you get out! *takes out more dynamite sticks and throws them at Dark Doughleficent*
 * Dark Doughleficent: Alright, that's enough! Gingerbread zombies, get them!
 * CypherDen: Gingerbread zombies!
 * Blast: This isn't good!
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah...
 * Amelia Amethyst: Cookies...
 * Diana Diamond: *slaps Amelia Amethyst* Come on, snap out of it!
 * Sean Sapphire: Does anyone have icing, sweets or something? We can surely use them against the zombies.
 * Blue Ocean: *shurgs*
 * Blast: If I had known we'd have to face gingerbread zombies, I would've brought icing.
 * Green Shadow: Looks like this fight is going to be a doozy. We'll have to search through Dark Cookie Alley for the sweetest ingredients we can use against the gingerbread zombies.
 * Ace: Let's hurry, then.
 * Red Ruby: I got some candies!
 * Gary Garnet: Me too.
 * Sean Sapphire: And I got the icing! *shows up with a giant bucket of icing and puts it down, exhausted after carrying it*
 * Gary Garnet: If you ask me, we should get to work and put this huge amount of icing to good use. *points to the gingerbread zombies quickly approaching them*
 * Gary Guppy: Yeah!
 * Blast: Time to take care of some gingerbread zombies now!
 * Gary Garnet: Load them in here! *takes out the same futuristic cannon he had from The Crystals of the Seven Colors*
 * Sean Sapphire: How did you get that cannon?
 * Gary Garnet: Don't question my intelligence! I used this futuristic cannon once to fire bags of icing against Doughleficent and her forces, back when Storm Cloud hypnotized her to take the orange crystal. It's time I brought it out again.
 * Blast: Well, that's convenient.
 * Bonk Choy: Almost sounds like a plot dev...*Green Shadow covers his mouth*
 * Green Shadow: Look, we have no time. We have to use everything we have against the gingerbread zombies, like, now!
 * Red Fork: Ready? Fire!
 * Dark Doughleficent: *facepalms* Not this again.
 * Red Ruby: You should know by now that you have no chance against us, you stupid cookie.
 * Dark Doughleficent: Why you...
 * Blast: Let's end this with an elemental combo!
 * Kyoji: Ace, Akasha, Takeshi, Sasuke, if you four are ready...*charges up an ice blast*
 * Akasha: If you say so. *charges up a fire blast*
 * Takeshi: Let's do this! *charges up an electric blast*
 * Sasuke: They know waterver's coming for them. *charges up a water blast*
 * Ace: *charges up a shadow blast*
 * Lincoln: This is going to be intense.
 * Dark Doughleficent: Uh oh...
 * Green Shadow: The shard!
 * Bonk Choy: *grabs the shard* I got it!
 * Red Ruby: *to Dark Doughleficent* Playtime's over, you dumb cookie. Where are the other shards?
 * Dark Doughleficent: What makes you think Captain Dark Shell told me who he gave the other shards too?
 * Red Fork: Red Ruby, please stop and think. We already know where the other shards are. The other villains in this dimension have them.
 * Red Ruby: Well, they can always tell us more than that, right?
 * Dark Doughleficent: Well, you sure blew it now. Just wait until Captain Dark Shell finds out about this. He'll kill us all!
 * Red Ruby: *rolls his eyes* Whatever.
 * Bonk Choy: I guess you can say that this is one "sweet" victory, huh?
 * Sean Sapphire: So what should we do with this cookie?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Uh, eat her?
 * Red Ruby: Blow her up?
 * Diana Diamond: None of the above. I say we just move on.
 * Sean Sapphire: *to Dark Doughleficent* Don't worry, miss, we'll help you get rid of that evil crustacean. After we find all the other shards, of course.
 * Dark Doughleficent: Yeah, right... You're tough, no doubt about it, but I doubt it'll be enough to stop that cruel warrior.
 * Red Fork: We'll see about that. Alright gang, that's another shard we've got!
 * Blue Ocean: We've got Dark Doughleficent's shard!
 * Bonk Choy: Neat!
 * Green Shadow: Who's next?
 * Red Fork: The next shard is kept by... Captain Dark Blowhole?
 * Jelo: We're gonna need a boat for this.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yup.
 * Sean Sapphire: What are we waiting for, let's find one near the coastal areas!
 * Blue Ocean: Let's go!
 * Shadow Crab Soldier #1: Captain, most territories on this planet have been taken. What do we do now?
 * Captain Dark Shell: We're going to take over other dimensions, of course. Split the army in two groups. One will stay here, while the other comes with me to take over other dimensions.
 * Shadow Crab Soldier #1: Aye aye, captain!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Which dimension shall we take over first? *opens a portal* Well, I don't think the order matters. Let's go, my loyal army. *enters the portal, followed by his army*
 * Red Spoon: This is terrible. Where is the gang when you need them? Well, I have to do whatever I can to stop this. I might not be able to defeat Captain Dark Shell, but I'll do anything in my power to stop him from hurting my friends.
 * Red Spoon: Uh oh...
 * Captain Dark Shell: Spread over the place. Find the government center and destroy it. Also take as many prisioners as you can. And destroy anyone who tries to stop our quest.
 * The Shadow Crab Army: Aye aye, captain!
 * Red Spoon: The government center? Oh no, Florette! And the other food delegates... I must stop these shadow crabs from killing them. Hm...
 * Red Spoon: Good. This disguise should keep me safe for a while. I've got to hurry.
 * Red Spoon: Yikes!
 * General Beet: That's it! We have to declare war!
 * Carrot: No general, no! They're too powerful. THere has to be another solution.
 * Bean 47: *sees Red Spoon teleport into the Food Pyramid* Aah! One of them got into the pyramid!
 * Florette: What do we do?
 * Pierre Le Pain: Do not wory madam, I shall protect you.
 * Florette: So much for protection... *rolls her eyes*
 * Red Spoon: Hey, it's ok. It's me, Red Spoon. *takes off the shell to show he's Red Spoon, and winks*
 * Florette: Red Spoon, it's you! You have no idea how happy I am to see you!
 * Red Spoon: Me too. Look, there's no way we'll defeat this army. We have to flee, now!
 * General Beet: Flee from war? Never!
 * Carrot: General, it's our only option.
 * Florette: Red Spoon and Carrot are right, we have to get out of here.
 * Red Spoon: Follow me!
 * Florette: What will happen to the Food Dimension?
 * Red Spoon: The gang will come back. Soon. For now, the best we can do is try and avoid those crabs.
 * Florette: Our homes... *tears appear in her eyes*
 * Red Spoon: It's going to be ok, Florette. Trust me, the gang is going to solve this mess. *hugs her*
 * Florette: *blushes* Thanks Red Spoon. Let's escape.
 * Star: I'm worried. What if Captain Dark Shell already took over the Earth? He could do something very terrible!
 * Lisa: It seems very likely, considering how long we've been here.
 * Marco: How long?
 * Lisa: 2-3 hours.
 * Gary Garnet: Do you really think it'll take that short of a time for a crab to take over an entire planet?
 * Lincoln: He was powerful.
 * Jelo: Well, that doesn't mean we can't stop him. We're the Locked Room Gang! Once we get those shards, we'll be able to go back to our dimension and stop that crab!
 * Green Shadow: Hopefully.
 * Kyoji: Let's go to the coast then.
 * Sean Sapphire: Hmm...Captain Blowhole usually strikes near the docks in the coastal areas. Perhaps he's somewhere there?
 * Lisa: Sounds likely.
 * Captain Red Shell: In fact, I see him approaching the coast as we speak. *points to the coast, as they see Captain Dark Blowhole approach the coast*
 * Toby Topaz: Yikes! He looks more terrifying than Captain Blowhole! *goes to hide behind a building*
 * Sean Sapphire: We don't use fear as a setback, we use fear as a weapon! *draws his sword* Get ready, everyone, for another electric dolphin saga!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Get ready, my troops! We're clear to launch a full-out offensive! Stay on target, aim...
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Fire!
 * Boom: Hey! We know you've got a shard of the Amulet of the Dark Seas!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Indeed I do. But you'll never get it from me.
 * Electra: Hand it over, and we won't hurt any of you.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Hurt us? Seriously? We're both electric, you fool!
 * Green Shadow: Not all of us.
 * Sasuke: I can wash you away if you don't hand it over!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: What? The other villains and I have already taken over Shadow Creek and put their heroes out of commission. What makes you think you can do any better to get the shard from me?
 * Red Fork: Because we always win. Just ask Shadow Spark, Dark Re-Peat Boss, Dark Boss Choy or Dark Doughleficent.
 * Ace: Simply put, we're not going down as easy as the heroes that live in this dimension.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Hmph! You've just listed the weaker villains among our alliance of villains. Of course you could've easily defeated them.
 * Sean Sapphire: But you're next. What makes you think you're better than them?
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Wherever we swim, fear will spread. The heroes of this dimension were left intimidated once our fins touched the shores. You should've seen their faces back then, but too bad they're gone now.
 * Red Ruby: Oh yeah? You don't intimidate me! We'll get your stupid shard!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: *draws and points his sword at the gang* And why exactly do you seek my shard?
 * Red Fork: That's easy. Captain Dark Shell escaped to our dimension. We need the amulet to go defeat him.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Captain Dark Shell? Oh no, you don't want to mess with that crab. He has killed off villains who opposed him, like those plant villains created by Dark Re-Peat Boss. I can't give up the shard, else I'll end up like his victims!
 * Green Shadow: So that explains why I don't see another dark version of Black Planter or any other plant villain back in Dark Re-Peat Boss's base.
 * Blast: Now that you mention it, that does make sense.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: I'm sorry, but I have no choice. The fate of my life depends on this shard!
 * Red Fork: Hey, calm down pal. If you give us that shard, we'll take care of Captain Dark Shell for you.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: No! My life depends on it! And that of my dark electric dolphin army too!
 * Red Ruby: Screw that. Just hand it over.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: What? No way!
 * Red Ruby: Hand the shard over...NOW!!!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: I don't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. If you're not going to get out of Shadow Creek, I'll just have to leave the job of taking you down to my army. Dark electric dolphins, attack!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yikes, I forgot how fighting the electric dolphins felt like...
 * Scorch: Fry them!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Oh no.
 * Sean Sapphire: They sure are tougher than Captain Blowhole's regular army.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Don't stop now, destroy them all like all the other heroes in Shadow Creek!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Anyone has another forcefield? I need some time before I can activate another one with my wand.
 * Jelo: Ask Blue Ocean or Electra. Also, I might sound stupid, but I'm going out of the forcefield.
 * Boom: Yeah, that sounds really stupid, Jelo.
 * Red Ruby: Finally, something you and I can agree on.
 * Electra: Got it! *creates a forcefield around the gang* Sorry captain, but you're not going to destroy anyone here today.
 * Jelo: Boom, me and a few others are going to defeat the electric dolphins. You and the rest take on Captain Dark Blowhole.
 * Green Shadow: I don't know. Are you sure about this?
 * Jelo: Of course, Green Shadow. First off, we need some recruits.
 * Boom: Wait a moment. You expect me to go out of this forcefield? You're crazy, dude!
 * Blast: What's the matter? You scared, pal?
 * Boom: Scared? Scared!? I'll make you eat those words, worthless piece of... *interrupted by Red Fork*
 * Red Fork: Why don't you just go out there and prove us just how strong and brave you are?
 * Boom: You know what? That's just what I'm going to do! Come on guys, let's show these dolphins the true meaning of pain!
 * Red Ruby: Whatever, if you're stupid enough to go out there and risk your own life, so be it.
 * Sean Sapphire: I'm going out there too! *runs out of the forcefield towards the electric dolphins*
 * Red Ruby: Seriously? You too, Sean?!
 * Captain Red Shell: I shall go too. I have lots of experience with electric dolphins.
 * Sean Sapphire: Great! Then let's go!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Do you think so? Clearly, you haven't met this electric dolphin!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: *to his electric dolphins* Leave the crustacean captain to me. Eliminate the "heroes" in this bunch!
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Not bad. I must admit, you put up a much better fight than the other crab captain from Shadow Creek.
 * Jelo: Electra, try and zap the electric dolphins attacking the forcefield! *slashing at the electric dolphins*
 * Electra: I don't think that'll do any good. They're electric dolphins, Jelo!
 * Blade: However, I bet we can cut them down to size! *tosses cutting blades at the electric dolphins*
 * Jelo: Red Shell, how's Captain Dark Blowhole doing? Did you weaken him? *slashes at the electric dolphins again*
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Oh, don't worry, my friend. HE'S the one who's going to be weakened any time soon. *continues swinging his sword at Captain Red Shell*
 * Jelo: *kinda annoyed* Sorry, wrong person. I was actually talking to Red Shell.
 * Boom: Nice burn.
 * Jelo: Thanks, Boom.
 * Captain Red Shell: There's no way you will win this battle! *continues fighting Captain Dark Blowhole*
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Oh, we'll see about that. *continues fighting Captain Red Shell*
 * Alice: Boom, look out behind you! *shoots with her plasma cannon at a couple of electric dolphins that were sneaking from behind Boom*
 * Boom: Thanks! *lifts one of the electric dolphins, and tosses it at the others, knocking several of them out*
 * Jaiden: *freezes some of the electric dolphins* Bet you can't handle the cold!
 * Green Shadow: *fires peas at some of the electric dolphins* If they can't handle the cold, they can't handle the peas either!
 * Kyoji: *knocks out and freezes several electric dolphins with a single ice wave* Let's actually focus on attacking and not talking.
 * Starcade: *grabs one of the electric dolphins by the tail before swinging him around and throwing him at the others, knocking several of them out* Well, they don't know who they're messing with.
 * Red Ruby: *throws some dynamite sticks at the electric dolphins, knocking out a group of them at once* Kyoji's right. Let's just blow them all up already!
 * Jelo: Boy, we're tired...
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: So you're not going to stop? You're clearly injured right now.
 * Captain Red Shell: By that logic, you should stop too. You're just as injured as I am. But you see, it will take more than a few scratches to make me fall.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: I'll believe that when I see it. The previous crab captain from Shadow Creek I fought has already went down this quick. Are you sure you want to continue fighting me before realizing that it would be a mistake to do so?
 * Captain Red Shell: I was going to ask you the same thing.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Nice trick. Too bad you're about to realize that mistake. And it sure is going to be fatal.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Who knew electric water would be so effective against crabs? It doesn't matter, I won't stop until you're dead!
 * Lincoln: This fight's getting intense by the minute.
 * Captain Dark Blowhole: Ouch...
 * Red Fork: Great job, captain!
 * Sean Sapphire: Yeah, great job!
 * Red Ruby: Goodbye!
 * Red Ruby: There, the next shard.
 * Amelia Amethyst: So, how many more are there?
 * Lincoln: We don't know.
 * Jelo: Maybe a few more, I guess? Probably 2?
 * Red Fork: Three, to be exact. We got three, and there's only three more to go.
 * Tommy: It's getting darker!
 * Ace: It's night time now. I wouldn't recommend we go villain hunting. The Shadow Dimension is drastically more dangerous during the night.
 * Alice: What should we do then?
 * Ace: I'd suggest we find shelter to stay safe until sunrise. The multi-verse is depending on us, so we can't take any chances.
 * Red Ruby: Who cares if it's more dangerous? I say we continue! No danger of the Shadow Dimension is going to scare this red gem!
 * Toby Topaz: Actually, I'd like to stay.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Me too. But where do we get shelter?
 * Toby Topaz: Hmm...trees?
 * Sean Sapphire: That won't do. Not even Emma would agree to that.
 * Bonk Choy: So wait, are we gonna build our own shelter?
 * Green Shadow: I don't think so, that would take too much time. Maybe we should seek shelter in a distant cave. Or a house if necessary.
 * Blue Ocean: That might be a good idea.
 * Red Fork: Let's start searching then.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Whew, it's getting darker. *shines some light with her wand* We gotta hurry!
 * Starcade: Hey, a cavern!
 * Bonk Choy: A cave?
 * Green Shadow: No, a cavern. They're different words.
 * Bonk Choy: I don't know, should we use that as shelter?
 * Lincoln: I think so!
 * Marco: What if there were villains hiding there?
 * Lisa: Chances of that happening are 87.1% unlikely.
 * Red Fork: I think it's our best bet. It's probably too dangerous to go search for something else anyway.
 * Marco: Okay...
 * Red Ruby: What's so dangerous about the Shadow Dimension at night anyway?
 * Toby Topaz: I wouldn't want to know if I were you...can we go inside?
 * Diana Diamond: Of course.
 * Blue Ocean: Well, now what?
 * Ace: We must stay here overnight.
 * Alice: In that case, I think we should get a good night sleep.
 * Red Fork: But... what about dinner?
 * Toby Topaz: Uh oh.
 * Bonk Choy: If only Red Spoon was here...
 * Amelia Amethyst: Does this cavern have food or something?
 * Red Fork: We'd better get searching.
 * Ace: Just remember to watch out for any plants you don't recognize. Some plants are highly poisonous.
 * Green Shadow: I'm coming along.
 * Starcade: Me too.
 * Red Ruby: Go ahead. I still have my can of beans. *takes out a can of beans, only to find that it's empty* What?!
 * Toby Topaz: What's wrong?
 * Red Ruby: Darn, the can's empty! Whatever, I'm coming along too.
 * Sean Sapphire: Is there any food around here enough to feed everyone?
 * Alice: The only way to know is searching.
 * Sean Sapphire: *shrugs* If you say so.
 * Bonk Choy: But there might be scary monsters out in the cave!
 * Re-Peat Moss: TRICKY even!
 * Green Shadow: Considering that the Shadow Dimension is very dangerous at night, I think the best course of action is that we go search for food together.
 * Red Fork: You're right.
 * Blue Ocean: Let's do it.
 * Ace: Go. I'll stay here at the entrance to make sure no monsters enter the cave.
 * Green Shadow: Good. That means it's time we go food-hunting. Let's go, gang!
 * Blue Ocean: I can't see a thing in here!
 * Red Fork: Wait a moment.
 * Blast: Cool.
 * Alice: Let's continue.
 * Toby Topaz: Ah! It's an animal!
 * Red Ruby: An animal? Oh please.
 * Amelia Amethyst: I can't help but get a bad feeling but...have we met him before somewhere?
 * Star: Uh, what...?
 * Jelo: Are you sure?
 * Lincoln and Marco: BEAR!
 * Lisa: I think it's a good idea to run away.
 * Red Ruby: Ah ha, a bear! How about some of this? *takes out a dynamite stick*
 * Emma Emerald: Red, leave that bear alone!
 * Red Ruby: Why? I could've put an end to this threat quickly, but no, you had to intervene. What the heck, Emma?
 * Emma Emerald: It's just an ordinary animal, it can't possibly be a threat!
 * Red Ruby: So, no explosions?
 * Emma Emerald: No explosions.
 * Red Ruby: Fine, whatever! But tell me, what is this hideous animal doing here?
 * Alice: Maybe he lives here?
 * Red Ruby: It's attacking us! Okay, that's it, I'm going for it! *takes out another dynamite stick*
 * Emma Emerald: Red, stop!
 * Red Ruby: Cut it out, Emma. I'm going to do it!
 * Red Fork: *levitates Red Ruby, immobilizing him* I don't think so.
 * Red Ruby: Not again! How many times do you have to do this to me?!
 * Electra: I know it's hard for you, but just try to think before you act, reckless ruby.
 * Jelo: I agree with Electra.
 * Red Ruby: *gets angry* Shut up, you idiots! Clearly neither of you know how to tackle this monstrosity!
 * Jelo: Red, calm down. If we provoke the bear, we're not gonna make it alive to stop Dark Shell.
 * Electra: Not to mention, using dynamite inside this cavern is a stupid idea. You'll make the cavern collapse, and we'll be buried in rocks!
 * Red Ruby: I like the outcome when YOU get buried in rocks!
 * Diana Diamond: Alright, let's all calm down before we resort to violence.
 * Blue Ocean: What do we do, Emma? You're the animal expert here.
 * Emma Emerald: Calm down, everyone. I'll try the peaceful approach.
 * Emma Emerald: Hey there, bear. I know we haven't met before, but could you please calm down and tell me what's the matter?
 * Bear: I was just trying to have a good night sleep, and all of a sudden I see a bunch of strangers in my home. Wouldn't you freak out too?
 * Emma Emerald: I won't. I'm the queen of my forest, so a bunch of animals wandering around in my home is normal for me. Is there any way we can help you?
 * Bear: I... I don't know. I was just trying to sleep. And when I saw you guys coming, I thought something dangerous was coming to attack me.
 * Emma Emerald: Hm, that does make sense. This is the Shadow Dimension after all.
 * Red Fork: Hey, it's ok, we won't hurt you.
 * Bear: Ok... but what about the monsters outside? It's only a matter of time before they find me in this cavern.
 * Blast: Well, I guess we could fight off any monster that comes in here.
 * Alice: Yeah, we'll make sure no monsters enter the cavern.
 * Bear: Really? You'd do that for me? Thanks guys! In fact, here, have some food. *gives them some fish* I fished it from a nearby river this afternoon.
 * Emma Emerald: No thanks. I'm a vegetarian.
 * Toby Topaz: *pukes at the smell of the fish* 
 * Sean Sapphire: Ah, fresh, fresh fish! Thanks! *grabs a fish and starts eating it*
 * Bonk Choy: *grabs as many fishes as he can* Yup, better grab as much as I can. I'm starving!
 * Red Fork: Yup! *grabs as many as he can*
 * Bear: Well, good luck.
 * Blue Ocean: Hey, gang, we should cook these before eating them. Does anyone know how to start a fire in the middle of the wilderness?
 * Red Ruby: A fire? Sure! *ignites a dynamite stick* Now how about that wood, huh?
 * Blade: I'll get wood!
 * Blade: Will that be enough wood?
 * Green Shadow: That would do.
 * Bonk Choy: I think you mean that "wood" do.
 * Red Ruby: Terrible pun, just terrible. Well, anyway, if that's enough wood...
 * Lincoln: A talking bear. That's something you don't see everyday.
 * Lisa: Affirmative.
 * Jelo: Eh, I've seen weirder stuff. I wouldn't consider a 50-foot giant Inkling who claims herself to be a goddess normal...but I wouldn't consider her a mere joke either.
 * Blue Ocean: You know? Despite how creepy this place is, I think we're doing fine.
 * Lincoln: It's actually pretty impressive.
 * Lemon Glass: I wonder how the others are doing now.
 * Marco: Hopefully they're doing okay.
 * Ink Splash: Paula? What's going on?
 * Paula Python: I don't know. I saw some strange black crabs destroying the forest and setting everything on fire!
 * Pincers: Crabs? You're kidding, right?
 * Dyna-Matic: Scanning tone. Results: Danger in voice.
 * Crusade: I think he's saying that Paula sounds serious.
 * Timmy Turquoise: What's so potentially dangerous about these crabs anyway?
 * Magi-Knight: Black crabs? They do sound familiar. Just like the ones the vampire bat has been telling me about. I think her name was Leech.
 * Octo-Phantom: So, what are we waiting for? Let's go spook those spooks!
 * Ink Splash: Paula, lead us to those crabs you say.
 * Paula Python: O-ok. Follow me.
 * Pincers: Who in the crabs is that?
 * Magi-Knight: That might just be the one who is behind this.
 * Timmy Turquoise: I'm just glad Emma isn't with us. She would've freaked out at this.
 * Whacker Weed: Boy, that crab sure is TRICKY.
 * Dark Trident: We should go stop them, now!
 * Captain Dark Shell: At last, you have came.
 * Ink Splash: Why are you destroying the forest?
 * Captain Dark Shell: You see, I would have lost too much time if I had to search for you, so I had to bring you to me. And by your presence, it's clear that it worked.
 * Pincers: Who the snap are you?
 * Whacker Weed: And what's with the TRICKINESS?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ignorant beings... I am Captain Dark Shell, the most powerful shadow warrior in the entire universe!
 * Paula Python: Are you sure about that?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Definitely. Word has it that the Shadow Sensei has perished, and that Shogo the Warlord is gone as well. That makes me the most powerful shadow warrior in the entire universe.
 * Magi-Knight: There is still Ace and Akasha, the remaining shadow ninjas in existence.
 * Ink Splash: Well, yes, both of them are dead, but that doesn't explain what you're trying to do here.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, that's simple. I have come to conquer the multi-verse. I know that you hybrids are some of the Locked Room Gang's most powerful allies, so I have come to dispose of you all quickly. Many a villain has forgotten to take you out of the picture, leading to disastrous results. I'll make sure myself that you do not attempt to stop my plans.
 * Ink Splash: Well, you're doing it all wrong, captain. This is our home, and we won't let you burn it down without a fight.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Predictable. Come forward and give me the best you've got. So far I haven't found a single decent opponent anywhere. Hopefully, you'll be able to put up a fight before your inevitable demise.
 * Dyna-Matic: Target: Captain Dark Shell. Target acquired. Commencing offensive assault.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Breaking your spirits as well as your bodies will be sheer delight.
 * Ink Splash: We'll see about that!
 * Magi-Knight: Messing with Team Hybrids will only bring you the hybrid of death and destruction - despair.
 * Whacker Weed: Just get out of here, you TRICKY crab!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Death and destruction are my bread and butter. Despair is what I will inspire in all who oppose me.
 * Captain Dark Shell: So... you're stronger than those weaklings I fought before. Let's see just how long you last.
 * Ink Splash: As long as it's necessary.
 * Captain Dark Shell: This is the destiny of anyone foolish enough to get in my way.
 * Paula Python: Oh yeah? Take this!
 * Ink Splash: That's it! No more games!
 * Ink Splash: No... we won't lose to the likes of you!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Just look at you. You're all injured, barely able to stand up.
 * Paula Python: I don't stand up, I'm a snake.
 * Octo-Phantom: And I'm a spook!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Anyway... It's been nice to fight you, but it's time for your demise.
 * Ink Splash: You... cheater...
 * Captain Dark Shell: Cheater? This isn't a game, dear. This is war. And in war, everything is valid. Army of mine, they are weak now. Finish them!
 * Ink Splash: No... we cannot fall... we can do anything as long as we fight together!
 * Dark Trident: No, Ink Splash!
 * Magi-Knight: A knight never falls under the blades of his opponents!
 * Magi-Knight: No...we have failed...how can this be?
 * Timmy Turquoise: Oh no, it's game over!
 * Pincers: To be fair, this isn't the first time we've been defeated like this. The Ancient God-Element Ninjas once took us all down with an elemental combo as well.
 * Timmy Turquoise: You're not helping, Pincers!
 * Pincers: Technically, you're not either.
 * Dark Trident: Enough, this conversation is getting us nowhere!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Indeed. But don't worry, I'll take you somewhere... to your grave!
 * Paula Python: What?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Sleep tight.

''Meanwhile, in the Shadow Dimension, it's almost sunrise. Ace goes out of the cave to check out the surroundings, and train. However, as he comes out, he sees Red Fork punching a tree.'' Red Fork punches the tree several times in a row, until finally, he hits the tree so hard it comes down. Ace comes to Red Fork, and extends his hand. ''Red Fork uses all his strength, and hits Ace's hand. Ace doesn't have any reaction. However, Red Fork yells as his hoof is hurt.'' Red Fork continues to hit Ace's hand repeatedly. ''Ace dashes towards Red Fork. Red Fork jumps, and attempts to smash Ace with his weight. However, Ace teleports out of the way, and appears behind Red Fork. He then punches Red Fork into a tree. Red Fork gets up, and sees Ace racing towards him. Red Fork scrambles out of the way right before Ace hits him. Ace then shoots several shadow blasts at Red Fork. Red Fork jumps around dodging the shadow blasts, but he gets hit by one of them, falling to the ground. Ace then comes towards him. Red Fork shoots several magic blasts at Ace, but Ace simply does a matrix-like move, dodging the magic blasts that come towards him without stepping away.'' ''Ace then dashes towards Red Fork with his superspeed, and kicks him into a tree so hard, that the tree comes down. Red Fork gets up, and rams into Ace. Ace jumps, avoiding the attack, and shoots shadow blasts at Red Fork as he falls. Red Fork jumps around, dodging, before teleporting next to where Ace will land. Ace lands, and Red Fork shoots a magic blast at him. Ace takes a bit of damage, and quickly turns towards Red Fork, delivering a series of punches and kicks.''
 * Ace: Huh?
 * Ace: What are you doing?
 * Red Fork: *ashamed* Uh... training?
 * Ace: A tree is not a worthy opponent.
 * Ace: I am ready.
 * Red Fork: What?
 * Ace: Hit my hand, as strong as you can.
 * Red Fork: Well, if you say so...
 * Red Fork: Ouch! I think I prefer the tree...
 * Ace: Apologies. Being tortured by the Shadow Sensei for so long, I had no choice but to become harder and overcome the pain. Now I don't feel anything.
 * Red Fork: Wow... that's cool.
 * Ace: *puts up his hand again* Again.
 * Red Fork: So, how long did it take you to... you know, not feel anything?
 * Ace: 10 years under the Shadow Sensei's command.
 * Red Fork: Wow... 10 years? Is there a faster way to not feel anything?
 * Ace: No. Besides... *knocks back Red Fork, making him fall on his back, and his stomach shakes like gelatin* I think hardstyle isn't your thing.
 * Red Fork: That makes sense. *stands up again* Hey, do you think you could teach me to become a better fighter?
 * Ace: Why?
 * Red Fork: Well, there's new villains showing up all the time. I want to be strong enough to help defend my friends. It's not easy to be the leader of the Red Crystals. They all look to me, and I don't want to let them down. And with Captain Dark Shell taking over our dimension, it would really be nice to learn a few tips to become a better fighter.
 * Ace: Well, you're a pretty good fighter, but I do think you could improve.
 * Red Fork: Well, back when Miss Bloomina broke into your dojo, I fought you, and you're a pretty tough opponent. Do you think you could teach me?
 * Ace: Let's give it a try. *gets into a figting pose* Get ready.
 * Red Fork: Sure. I'm ready.
 * Red Fork: Whoa!

''All the noise from the fight wakes up Blade. He goes outside to see what's going on. The sun is rising, and Blade sees in the distance how a surprising battle is taking place. He runs towards the gang.'' ''Several members of the gang wake up, and run outside to watch. Red Fork and Ace continue their battle. Ace delivers another combo of attacks on Red Fork, making him fall against a tree.'' ''Red Fork teleports next to Ace, just for Ace to quickly react and punch him into another tree. Red Fork bounces off of the tree, and then tries to attack Ace again. Ace quickly steps out of the way. Red Fork then bounces off another tree, and jumps over Ace. Ace watches the long jump, and punches Red Fork into a tree just as he lands, ending the fight.'' The gang arrives where Ace and Red Fork are. ''The gang makes their way to the forest. When they arrive, they see Queen Bloomina resting on a throne made of vines in the middle of the forest, being fanned by dark versions of Squash and Bloomerang.'' Boom flies straight into Queen Bloomina and her lackeys, blowing them into a tree with one powerful punch. Boom flies off to another section of the forest, with both Squash and Bloomerang chasing him. ''Queen Bloomina makes Red Ruby fall asleep by emitting a pink gas. Once he's asleep, she tangles him in a bunch of vines.'' Queen Bloomina calls the forest security gaurd, which is: Shadow Bark with a police uniform!? ''Bark begins to make roots grow out of the ground, grabbing several members of the gang and tangling them up. He also makes a few venus flytraps grow out of the ground and attack the gang.'' Shadow Bark makes some thorn bushes appear, and shoot thorns at the gang. The gang continues to fight shadow Bark. ''Bark makes more venus flytraps appear from the ground, and also makes some thorn bushes appear to throw thorns at the gang. Queen Bloomina is above in a tree, watching the fight safely.'' ''Red Fork charges towards Shadow Bark, only for Shadow Bark to make a thorn bush appear right in front of him. Red Fork runs into the bush and gets hurt by the thorns.'' Emma Emerald summons roots which rise from the ground, before controlling them to destroy the thorn bush and attack Shadow Bark. Blade tosses several cutting blades, cutting down the remaning venus flytraps and other plants Shadow Bark summoned. ''Scorch begins to shoot fire blasts recklessly, damaging Shadow Bark even more in the process. Emma Emerald finally controls the roots she summoned to tangle Shadow Bark's limbs and wrap his body up with them.'' ''Shadow Bark creates several venus flytraps, and makes them bite and destroy the roots that were tangled to his limbs. Emma Emerald simply summons more roots to tangle themselves to Shadow Bark's limbs, with even tighter grips.'' Shadow Bark creates several venus flytraps, and makes them bite and destroy the roots that were tangled to his limbs. ''Before Emma can summon more roots to tangle Shadow Bark's limbs, Shadow Bark does this to Emma. However, Blade cuts the roots, freeing Emma.'' ''Sean Sapphire charges towards Shadow Bark, using his sword to cut down all kinds of nature Shadow Bark throws at him. He proceeds to take down Shadow Bark with a sword slash, defeating him. Shadow Bark looks defeated, as he rubs an injure left on his shoulder.'' ''Shadwo Bark leaves with his hand on his shoulder. Then suddenly, Queen Bloomina shows up from above. She takes out what appears to be a scepter made of wood. She uses it to create a triangular flower that shoots thorns at the gang.'' Socrch continues shooting fire blasts at Queen Bloomina, weakening her quickly. Queen Bloomina takes out a spell book, and begins to search for a spell to use against the gang. ''Kyoji, Akasha, Takeshi and Sasuke perform a four-element combo on Queen Bloomina while she is still searching for a spell. The combo hits her, defeating her.'' ''Akasha flies towards Queen Bloomina, ready to kill her. However, Kyoji quickly freezes Akasha with an ice beam, preventing her from killing Queen Bloomina.'' Red Fork checks the list. Queen Bloomina uses her magic to make Red Ruby wake up again. ''The gang goes to find Shadow Spark. Meanwhile, in Ponyville, the Mane Six are having a picnic together, when all of a sudden, they see a dark portal appear. Fluttershy quickly hides behind Rainbow Dash. All six ponies are confused to what is going on. Even though they're all scared, Twilight decides to step closer to the portal to inspect what is causing it. Suddenly, she steps back when she sees Captain Dark Shell and his army of shadow crab soldiers come out of the portal and begin to attack Ponyville. The ponies all around the city begin to run around in panic, yelling in fear.'' ''Captain Dark Shell begins by waving his sword, showering the Mane Six with dozens of shadow blasts. Twilight creates a magic forcefield to protect herself and her friends. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie takes out her party cannon and begins to shoot at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell flies around to dodge the shots of the party cannon, and then uses all his strength to slash the forcefield with the sword, breaking it in one hit. The blow is so powerful that it knocks back the six ponies.'' ''Rainbow Dash flies up high in the sky, and then, flies straight down towards Catpain Dark Shell, getting faster each second, until she's so fast, she breaks the barrier of sound, creating a sonic boom with a rainbow. Captain Dark Shell sees her coming, and teleports out of the way, causing Rainbow Dash to crash straight into the ground, leaving her knocked out.'' ''Applejack kicks a tree so hard, that the tree falls on Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell slashes the tree apart with his sword, and then shoots several shadow waves at the Mane Six. Fluttershy, scared, hides behind a rock. There, some of her animal friends come to support her.'' Meanwhile, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie have been defeated as well, leaving only Twilight & Fluttershy. ''Twilight shoots a magic beam at Captain Dark Shell, which he counters with a shadow beam. Both of them struggle for a while, until Captain Dark Shell's shadow beam overcomes Twilight's magic beam. Twilight is hit by the shadow beam, and falls to the ground, injured.'' Fluttershy flies away from Captain Dark Shell, ready to try what her animal friends have suggested. ''Captain Dark Shell watches as the buildings burn, and the ponies run away in fear and despair. Meanwhile, the gang is heading back to Shadow Creek, ready to confront Shadow Spark.'' ''However, just as the gang is approaching Shadow Spark's base, they're intercepted by what appears to be a Shadow Fork-bot. THis robot rams quickly through the entire gang, and stops right in front of them.'' ''Shadow Fork-bot charges towards Red Fork. Red Fork jumps, and bounces on Shadow Fork-bot. He then lands safely, and sticks his tongue out at Shadow Fork-bot.'' Red Fork runs off, with Shadow Fork-bot following him. ''The gang proceeds to go to Shadow Spark's base. Once they reach Shadow Spark's base, they see several pony robots guarding the entrance.'' ''Red Ruby takes out stacks of dynamite sticks, before running into the office, ready to perform an attack that will cause a huge explosion on the pony robots. Without doubt, he quickly gets blasted out of the office by the pony robots before that happens.'' ''Star's wand summons a big snowball that crashes through some pony robots, stunning them.  The gang now comes at the stunned pony robots, and together they quickly take them out. However, more pony robots are coming at them.'' ''The gang proceeds to carry on fighting the pony robots. Meanwhile, Red Fork is fighting Shadow Fork-bot. Both of them are moving ahead at a great speed. Shadow Fork-bot shoots magic blasts at Red Fork, which Red Fork quickly dodges by jumping around, the last jump landing on Shadow Fork-bot, dealing him some damage. Shadow Fork-bot rolls on the ground as Red Fork continues running. However, soon Shadow Fork-bot stands up again and continues the chase.'' ''Red Fork jumps, and Shadow Fork-bot, uses his rocket propellers to follow Red Fork's movements. Red Fork continues running, and Shadow Fork-bot folow him until they're both running side-to-side.'' ''Red Fork and Shadow Fork-bot fight while still running. However, Red Fork then sees a few trees ahead, and has an idea. He continues fighting Shadow Fork-bot while they run at full speed, but once they are about to hit the trees, Red Fork rams into Shadow Fork-bot. This pushes him to crash into a tree. Red Fork stops running when he sees Shadow Fork-bot has crashed into the tree.'' ''Red Fork tosses Fork-bot up into the air. He then jumps, and kicks Shadow Fork-bot away while in the air. He watches as Shadow Fork-bot explodes in the distance.'' ''Red Fork runs back to the gang to help them defeat Shadow Spark. When he arrives, he sees they've defeated the pony robots, clearing the way to Shadow Spark's office.'' ''The gang enters the office. However, surprisingly, instead of a regular office, the place looks like a volcanic surface with volcanic stone, lava and more.'' Shadow Spark's voice is heard. Red Fork notices some letters on the wall that say "Shadow Spark". Red Fork uses his magic on the letters, and suddenly, the letters turn into a large machine with flames that Shadow Spark is controlling. ''Shadow Spark's machine shoots dozens of fire blasts at the gang. The gang tries to dodge with caution, in order to not fall in the lava while doing so.'' ''Blast and Jaiden try a dual ice combo, freezing the machine. The machine then explodes.'' ''Shadow Spark presses a button, which makes him teleport away. A door opens.'' ''The gang enters the door. They enter a dark room. However, they see a floating machine come towards them. It's large, with big speakers, and two large fists. Suddenly, the machine lights up the room. Shadow Spark is now seem wearing a golden helmet, and his control pad looks like DJ equipment.'' ''Shadow Spark puts his hooves on the two disks in front of him, and music begins playing. The weird machine starts shooting torpedoes at the gang.'' While Gary Garnet continues firing lasers at the torpedoes, the gang takes cover under the protection of Amelia Amethyst's forcefield. ''Shadow Spark's machine shoots more torpedoes. However, the action doesn't stop there. The machine launches one of it's fists at the gang. It hits the forcefield, destroying it.'' Shadow Spark's machine throws its other fist directly at Red Ruby, smashing him. ''Shadow Spark's machine tosses one of its fists towards Jenny. However, she begins to shoot ink at the fist continously, until the fists turns around and hits Shadow Spark instead.'' ''Effectively, Shadow Spark's machine shoots a wide, purple laser towards the gang. Blue Ocean generates a forcefield to protect the gang from the laser.'' ''Amelia Amethyst goes on the offensive, by firing magic bullets at Shadow Spark's machine. However, they don't do any damage at the machine.'' Shadow Spark's machine throws its fist again at the gang, destroying Blue Ocean's forcefield. ''Shadow Spark's machine continues shooting torpedoes, and then shoots its fist again at the gang. Green Shadow fires peas at the fist continuously, causing the fist to turn around and hit Shadow Spark's machine.'' ''Shadow Spark's machine shoots its other fist at the gang. This time, Red Fork shoots magic blasts at the fist continously, making the fist turn around and hit Shadow Spark's machine as well.'' ''Shadow Spark's machine shoots a wide purple laser. However, this time, Green Shadow fires an ice beam to counter the purple laser, though she is unable to hold it off for very long.'' Shadow Spark makes his machine toss both fists at the ice ninjas that are holding off the laser. ''Starcade takes out both laser pistols, with each of them aiming for each fist. She fires lasers continuously at both fists, causing them to turn around and fly towards Shadow Spark's machine, hitting and damaging it.'' ''Green Shadow, Kyoji, Blast and Jaiden continue firing their powerful ice combo against the wide purple laser. After a while, both the ice beam and wide purple laser cancel each other out.'' ''Shadow Spark's machine tosses a huge missile at the gang. Electra shoots electric bolts at the missile continously, making it turn around and hit Shadow Spark's machine.'' ''Shadow Spark's machine shoots out everything it has. Torpedos, lasers, both fists and the missile at the same time!'' The gang gathers around each other, before performing a devastating combo with the power of the Elements of Harmony against Shadow Spark's machine. ''The machine explodes, leaving Shadow Spark sitting in a pile of metal scraps. Within the mess of metal pieces, the gang can see a shard of the amulet shining. Red Fork grabs it.'' ''Shadow Spark tries to activate his teleporter to escape, but it doesn't work. Shadow Spark mashes the button furiously, until the teleporter explodes in his face.'' ''The gang goes to Shadow Inkopolis to find Shadow Galaximus. Meanwhile, in Eitbit, the Retro Rebels are relaxing at their own arcade cabinet. Hot Air is beginning to get impatient.'' Smokey Bacon is surprised to see Leech the Bat Princess fly towards them. Owl flies towards Leech. Suddenly, Warlock appears in a flash of dark light. ''Suddenly, explosions can be heard outside the Retro Rebels' arcade cabinet. Leech flies to the window, only to see that Captain Dark Shell and his army of shadow crab warriors have appeared from a portal. A few Eitbitizens are running away, while a few others are fighting against the army, only to be quickly taken down.'' Hot Air flies his hot air balloon out of the Retro Rebels' arcade cabinet, before taking out a megaphone to call out to the other Retro Rebels. ''Viking leads the main members of the Retro Rebels out of the arcade cabinet. Meanwhile, Leech is savagely attacking one of the shadow crab warriors by herself. The shadow crab warrior is struggling to fight back as Leech is too fast for him.'' However, before Leech can defeat the shadow crab warrior she is attacking, a powerful shadow wave hits her, knocking her out. Owl flies towards Captain Dark Shell, after seeing him take down Leech. Captain Dark Shell looks around, only to find himself surrounded by an entire team of Retro Rebels. ''Licorice and Smokey Bacon fire icicles from their mouths at Captain Dark Shell, while Hot Air throws several bombs from above at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell levitates the icicles, causing them to turn towards Hot Air's hot air balloon. At the same time, he levitates Hot Air's bombs, tossing them towards Licorice and Smokey Bacon. The icicles pop Hot Air's hot air balloon, causing it to fly about uncontrollably, before crashing into the ground with a huge explosion, taking out Hot Air and a few other Retro Rebels caught in the explosion. Meanwhile, Hot Air's bombs explode on Licorice and Smokey Bacon, dealing explosive damage to them and causing them to faint and melt into ice-cream puddles.'' ''The remaining Retro Rebels proceed to fight Captain Dark Shell at once. However, Captain Dark Shell easily protects himself from the numerous attacks with his shadow forcefield, while firing back powerful shadow waves at his opponents, defeating more with each wave he delivers.'' ''Owl feeds Fat Cat several lasers, who uses them to fire a powerful mega burp laser at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell deflects the laser with his sword, although the force of Fat Cat's mega burp laser has managed to push him backwards by a few inches. He proceeds to move his sword about at different angles while still deflecting the laser, causing the laser to move about and knock out every Retro Rebel it hits. Eventually, Fat Cat grows exhausted after having run out of burp power. Captain Dark Shell proceeds to use this opportunity to fire a powerful shadow wave at Fat Cat, knocking him out.'' ''Viking lets out a huge war cry, and slams his battle hammer repeatedly on the ground, triggering an earthquake. Captain Dark Shell simply flies up to avoid the earthquake.'' Captain Dark Shell fires a powerful shadow blast at Viking, knocking him out instantly. The army of shadow crab warriors declare their agreements to Captain Dark Shell's remark on the Retro Rebels unanimously. ''However, before Captain Dark Shell and his army can continue, ??? appears.'' ''??? draws a rather familiar-looking sword, pointing it at the army of shadow crabs. The sword sends out sound waves, causing the shadow crabs to gain rapid amounts of exhaustion and collapse onto the ground.'' ''??? steps out of the shadows, revealing himself to be Olympus with the Lord's Sword in his hand.  Olympus types into his computer, summoning a portal which summons his army of Space Invaders, as well as Dark Starcade.'' ''The Space Invaders fly towards Captain Dark Shell from all sides, before firing lasers at him. Captain Dark Shell once again protects himself with a shadow forcefield.'' Olympus then sees Captain Dark Shell casting a powerful shadow shockwave, disabling all the remaining Space Invaders at once. ''Dark Starcade flies towards Captain Dark Shell, firing shadow blasts at the shadow forcefield. However, the shadow blasts do little or no damage to the shadow forcefield, which remains intact.'' ''As Dark Starcade gets closer, Captain Dark Shell throws the potion at Dark Starcade. The potion hits her, causing her to fall to the ground.'' ''Dark Starcade tries to charge up another shadow blast, only to fail. After a few more failed attempts, she quickly realizes that her shadow powers are gone.'' ''Dark Starcade charges towards Captain Dark Shell, ready to punch him. Captain Dark Shell simply levitates her and tosses her towards Olympus. Olympus quickly catches Dark Starcade before she hits him.'' ''Olympus puts Dark Starcade onto the ground before drawing his sword and pointing it at Captain Dark Shell.  Olympus transforms himself to look like a crab, before charging towards Captain Dark Shell with the Lord's Sword in his hand. Captain Dark Shell charges towards Olympus as well, as both villains engage in a sword duel.'' ''Captain Dark Shell and Olympus not only exchange sword slashes, but also occasionally ranged projectiles as well. At one point, Olympus deals a sword slash that leaves a cut on Captain Dark Shell.'' ''Captain Dark Shell retaliates with a sword slash that hurts Olympus even more than vice versa. Olympus gets angry and proceeds to summon several illusions of himself to surround Captain Dark Shell.'' ''Captain Dark Shell emits a powerful shadow wave, causing all of Olympus' illusions to disappear. Before Olympus can react, Captain Dark Shell charges towards him and deals several sword slashes to him, before finally taking him down and defeating him.'' ''Captain Dark Shell casts a shadow art which brings the shadow crabs out of their exhaustion effect.  As the shadow crabs agree, Captain Dark Shell and his army march on to conquer other worlds. Meanwhile, the gang is heading towards the place where Shadow Galaximus is. Finally, they arrive.'' ''The gang marches towards Shadow Galaximus's base. However, just as they're about to enter, they are assaulted by a familiar looking fire ninja.'' ''Jaiden shoots an ice blast at Double D Jaiden, but she dodges it. As Jaiden prepares to shoot another one, someone dashes right into her, knocking her into a wall.'' Akasha levitates both Double D Jaiden and Dark Boom, before tossing them both into a wall. ''Double D Jaiden and Dark Boom get up from the attack, looking angry at Akasha. Double D Jaiden shoots several fire blasts at Akasha, while Dark Boom simply charges towards her at high speed, delivering a quick combo of punches. Akasha doesn't take damage from the fire blasts, but she does take some damage from the punches.'' Red Ruby straps two firecrackers to his back, before using them to fly himself towards Dark Boom and ram into him, knocking him into a wall. Dark Boom gets up again, grabs Red Ruby, and smashes him against the ground several times, before punching him in the face and then tossing him into a wall. ''Boom and Dark Boom begin fighting each other, creating a dust cloud where they're fighting. Meanwhile, Double D Jaiden shoots fire blasts at the gang.'' ''Double D Jaiden is knocked back by the shadow blasts. However, this only causes Dark Boom to get angrier, and dash right towards Akasha, delivering a combo of several punches before knocking her into a wall.'' ''Blue Ocean craetes a forcefield around the gang to protect them from Double D Jaiden's fire blasts. Menawhile, the rest of the gang is attacking Dark Boom simultaneously, and after a couple of minutes, Dark Boom falls unconscious.'' ''Akasha flies towards Double D Jaiden before delivering punches to her from all sides without giving her a single chance to retaliate. She teleports around Double D Jaiden, avoiding her fire attacks, before charging up a powerful shadow blast and firing it at Double D Jaiden, blasting her right into an unconscious Dark Boom.'' ''Double D Jaiden looks behind her, and she sees the entire gang stampeding towards her. Double D Jaiden lets out a high-pitched yell right before the gang reaches her, and finishes the job.'' ''The gang enters Shadow Galaximus's base. However, before finding Shadow Galaximus, the gang sees a shadow version of Dr. Creep awaiting them.'' Among the smoke, Dr. Shadow Creep charges at them at full speed with a diamond sword. Captain Red Shell takes out his sword, and confronts Dr. Shadow Creep. ''Star's wand emits a powerful rainbow light beam, tearing down a lot of the Creepers in its path. Scorch shoots fire blasts at them, while Blade shoots cutting blades at them, causing more creepers to blow up before they reach the gang. Green Shadow shoots peas at them, Starcade shoots lasers at them, Kyoji shoots ice blasts at them, Akasha shoots fire blasts at them, Takeshi shoots electric blasts at them, Sasuke shoots water blasts at them and the gemstones use their various attacks against them. As the gang continues attacking the Creepers, they cause more and more of them to blow up before they even manage to damage Electra's forcefield. Soon, all the creepers have been destroyed, while Captain Red Shell continues fighting Dr. Shadow Creep.'' ''Blast, Scorch, Cypher-Den and Rebecca perform a four-elemental combo, defeating Dr. Shadow Creep. ''
 * Blade: Ace is fighting Red Fork!
 * Ace: Stop trying to hit me and hit me!
 * Red Fork: Ouch...
 * Ace: How did I beat you?
 * Red Fork: You're... faster...
 * Ace: That's not true. I'm not stronger than you, I'm not faster than you, I'm not more powerful than you.
 * Red Fork: But... you have shadow powers, and super speed, and super strength.
 * Ace: Red Fork, you're just as fast as me. You're just as strong, if not stronger than me. And my shadow powers, what is your magic for? You can teleport, you can shoot magic blasts, you can levitate objects. You're the equivalent of a strong shadow ninja.
 * Red Fork: Oh...
 * Ace: I repeat. How did I beat you?
 * Red Fork: I don't know...
 * Ace: Red Fork, the only true difference between my skill and yours, is discipline, mental strength. More than muscles, the mind is the most powerful weapon. You are a strong fighter, Red Fork, there's no doubt. But you need to improve your discipline. When you fight, you get overconfident. You must understand this: There is no superior, and there is no inferior. There is only the battle.
 * Red Fork: Huh?
 * Ace: No opponent is weak. Every opponent has the potential to defeat you if you underestimate them. Do not give them that privilege.
 * Red Fork: Ok.
 * Ace: Remember, your focus must always be on the battle. Not on looking cool, not on showing off. Your focus must be on the battle. That's the only way to ensure your victory, and unleash your true potential.
 * Red Fork: Got it.
 * Ace: Remember to always focus Red Fork. I have seen your power. You have the potential to become a much greater fighter than you are now. But you must take your battles seriously. With your mind focused, you will go a long way.
 * Red Fork: Thanks, Ace.
 * Green Shadow: There you are.
 * Bonk Choy: What are you two doing?
 * Kyoji: They're training with each other, Bonk Choy.
 * Bonk Choy: Oh yeah...training...*scratches his head*
 * Ace: We're done.
 * Red Fork: Oh, hi guys!
 * Ace: Now that we're all awake, we can continue our mission.
 * Jelo: Well, let's get going. The whole world's not gonna save itself, ya know.
 * Green Shadow: True.
 * Red Ruby: *suddenly appears* I heard explosions! Where are they?
 * Diana Diamond: There aren't any, Red.
 * Red Ruby: Oh, come on! Could've sworn I heard one.
 * Kyoji: Ace and Red Fork were training, that's what's going on.
 * Red Ruby: Oh.
 * Toby Topaz: Oh, goodie...
 * Amelia Amethyst: So what are we waiting for? Let's go! Who are we going for next?
 * Jelo: Probably a Dark Dr. Zack or whatever.
 * Red Fork: Let's see... the next villain on our list is... *reads list* Queen Bloomina the Dark?
 * Blue Ocean: What's up with these names?
 * Sean Sapphire: And "Miss Bloomina" is the queen of the forest in this dimension?
 * Emma Emerald: She must have overthrown the reign of my own shadow doppelganger!
 * Red Ruby: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go blow up that flower!
 * Blue Ocean: Yeah! Let's go!
 * Boom: To the forest, gang!
 * Red Ruby: Who put YOU in charge?
 * Diana Diamond: No one, let's just get going.
 * Sean Sapphire: Forward!
 * Jelo: So that must be Queen Bloomina, the shadow version of Miss Bloomina.
 * Gary Garnet: Well, that's just absurd.
 * Sean Sapphire: But nothing we can't handle.
 * Red Ruby: I know, right? *takes out a dynamite stick* I'll throw this at her face, which will make her burst into flames. Boom! Easy!
 * Ace: No.
 * Alice: Not only would that not defeat her, but you'd alert them of our presence. We need a better plan.
 * Blue Ocean: How about someone distracts her lackeys so that the rest of the gang can stop her?
 * Red Ruby: Or we can just start a forest fire. Period.
 * Emma Emerald: Objection!
 * Red Ruby: Whatever. It's just my idea.
 * Sean Sapphire: We can just send someone powerful enough to distract and beat up her lackeys. That would be easier, no?
 * Jelo: Boom, you do it.
 * Boom: No problem!
 * Queen Bloomina: Ugh! What are yo up to?
 * Boom: Beat you up, of course.
 * Queen Bloomina: Loyal subjects of mine, seize this insolent ruffian!
 * Squash: Yes, your majesty!
 * Bloomerang: Immediately!
 * Queen Bloomina: How uncouth!
 * Red Ruby: How about you shut your mouth?
 * Emma Emerald: So you must be Queen Bloomina the Dark, the one who overthrown the previous queen of the forest.
 * Queen Bloomina: And you are?
 * Richard: We're the Locked Room Gang!
 * Jenny: We know Captain Dark Shell gave you a shard of the Amulet of the Dark Seas.
 * Red Fork: So go ahead and give it up!
 * Queen Bloomina: You don't fool me with your lies! I know why you're really here! You've come to destroy this beautiful forest!
 * Blue Ocean: What?
 * Queen Bloomina: Well, I'm not going to allow that!
 * Green Shadow: Destroy this forest? No way!
 * Starcade: We'll never do that!
 * Emma Emerald: I know we both love the beauty of nature, but...
 * Red Ruby: Oh, just give up the shard already, you dumb flower. You can't possibly defeat all of us by yourself.
 * Queen Bloomina: That's it. You'll be the first to go down for insolence!
 * Gary Guppy: Uh oh...
 * Queen Bloomina: Security!
 * Shadow Bark: What seems to be the problem, you majesty?
 * Queen Bloomina: These ruthless invaders are trying to take over the forest!
 * Shadow Bark: No way! We've got ourselves a good ol' fashioned team of forest wreckers! Well, we're not going to allow that!
 * Queen Bloomina: Seize them, my loyal assistant.
 * Shadow Bark: Yes, your majesty.
 * Lincoln: Okay, there are a few things you got wrong. We're not forest-wreckers. Some of us even take care of nature! I doubt you'd listen anyway, though.
 * Jelo: Gang, we might need to find a way out of this tangled vinework.
 * Shadow Bark: You're not going anywhere, forest wreckers!
 * Lincoln: I just told you! We're not forest wreckers!
 * Jelo: Hmm...Red, destroy these thorn bushes. Emma, fight fire with fire.
 * Electra: That reckless gem is asleep, didn't you see?
 * Jelo: Oh...right...sorry. Things just got dire.
 * Emma Emerald: What? No, I can't do that! That's breaking my code of honor as forest queen!
 * Star: I'll do it! Flaming Rainbow Beam! *shoots a scorching rainbow beam at the thorn bushes*
 * Marco: Hiii-yaaahh! *karate-chops and karate-kicks a venus flytrap*
 * Lisa: *sigh* Hypocrisy strikes.
 * Sean Sapphire: Take this! *chops off a few roots and stems of venus flytraps with his sword*
 * Emma Emerald: Sean, what are you doing?
 * Sean Sapphire: Sorry Emma, but desperate times call for desperate measures. We need that shard at all costs!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Well, he has a point. *her leg gets tangled up by roots* Hey!
 * Sean Sapphire: Don't worry, Amelia! *chops off the roots tangling Amelia Amethyst's leg*
 * Amelia Amethyst: Thanks.
 * Sean Sapphire: No problem. You see, Emma? These plants are posing a threat to us! I know you're the forest queen and all, but we don't have time to protect evil nature! Would you want the Locked Room Gang to fall to the roots of a villain?
 * Emma Emerald: *thinks for a while before agreeing* Very well. But just this once, understood?
 * Sean Sapphire: I can't guarantee that, but sure. Now let's go fight some plants!
 * Emma Emerald: *reluctantly* Sure.
 * Shadow Bark: You're not going to get free that easily!
 * Red Fork: Time to wreck you into pieces!
 * Shadow Bark: You'll be the first to be under arrest!
 * Luan: That wasn't sharp thinking! Okay, even I'll have to admit that was too soon.
 * Blue Ocean: We need a plan.
 * Jelo: Hmm...Emma, try and summon good nature.
 * Emma Emerald: I guess I can try that.
 * Shadow Bark: Agh! So, another nature controller, huh?
 * Emma Emerald: At least I don't abuse my powers of controlling nature, unlike you.
 * Electra: Surrender, useless cop!
 * Shadow Bark: I'm an official forest policeman! I'm not going to fail my queen.
 * Blade: Well, time to cut you down to size.
 * Shadow Bark: No!
 * Scorch: Fire!
 * Emma Emerald: I'm sorry, Bark, but I can't accept you manipulating nature like this.
 * Shadow Bark: But you're manipulating nature as well!
 * Emma Emerald: I don't manipulate nature for the purpose of evil, unlike you.
 * Shadow Bark: Is helping my queen evil to you?
 * Emma Emerald: Your queen is evil, you just don't see it.
 * Emma Emerald: I won't let you go until you stop this.
 * Shadow Bark: Too bad.
 * Shadow Bark: You're just losing your time. I won't give up to the likes of you.
 * Emma Emerald: Thank you, Blade.
 * Shadow Bark: Stop that!
 * Blade: Nope! Not until you cut it out!
 * Shadow Bark: Never!
 * Scorch: Then you'll burn down with the flames of justice! Fire!
 * Sean Sapphire: Or you can just submit yourself to surrender. To the tip of my sword!
 * Shadow Bark: Ouch...
 * Star: Aah! Thornstorm! *runs away, along with Marco*
 * Toby Topaz: Wait for me! *follows Star and Marco*
 * Sean Sapphire: Hey, come back here, you cowards!
 * Amelia Amethyst: *creates a forcefield to protect the gang from the thorns* Yikes! She can do magic too?
 * Emma Emerald: I never once saw Miss Bloomina from our dimension using magic tricks. This is really bad news.
 * Sean Sapphire: Well, I say we should use a combo attack and get this over and done with. I doubt this forcefield can hold us long from the thorns.
 * Blue Ocean: *helps strengthen the forcefield* Well, go ahead and do it. We'll keep the forcefield up as long as necessary.
 * Scorch: Fire! *shoots fire blasts recklessly at Queen Bloomina*
 * Queen Bloomina: Agh! *looks weakened* Stop that!
 * Scorch: No! You'll be scorched by the flames of justice! Fire!
 * Queen Bloomina: Eek! Ok, I didn't want to have to do this, but there's no other choice!
 * Sean Sapphire: Kyoji, this would probably be a good time for an elemental combo. She's distracted!
 * Kyoji: You're right about that. It's time to perform it again.
 * Blue Ocean: Knockout!
 * Akasha: Wow, I never knew how satisfying it feels to burn that flower. That felt great!
 * Kyoji: Good job, everyone. Now we're just another step closer to getting all the shards.
 * Bonk Choy: Yeah! *grabs the shard from Queen Bloomina* In your face, royal butt!
 * Queen Bloomina: Ugh... *falls from above and hits the ground* How is this possible?
 * Red Fork: We're the Locked Room Gang!
 * Queen Bloomina: This is terrible! What am I going to do now? When Captain Dark Shell finds out what happened, he'll kill me off with weed spray! *terrified*
 * Akasha: How about I kill you before he does? *an aura of fire appears around her* No big deal, I can help end your suffering.
 * Kyoji: No, Akasha. She has had enough.
 * Akasha: Ugh...this flower is just as annoying as the one back in our dimension! So why not?
 * Kyoji: This isn't how we handle situations as the Locked Room Gang. We're only supposed to stop villains from their evil machinations, not going to the extent of murder.
 * Akasha: I don't abide by these rules! So get out of my way, this flower's life is mine!
 * Kyoji: Apologies for that, Queen Bloomina. And don't worry, we'll be the ones who will stop Captain Dark Shell. Once we collect all the other shards, that is.
 * Queen Bloomina: I doubt you can actually defeat him, but I appreciate the intention.
 * Blue Ocean: Woo-hoo! That's four shards, and only two left!
 * Kernely: Who's next, Red Fork?
 * Red Fork: Next up is... Shadow Spark?
 * Boom: What!? That liar had a shard all along!?
 * Amelia Amethyst: He has?
 * Marco: Wait, what?!
 * Toby Topaz: Also, Miss, I mean Queen Bloomina, can you please wake Red Ruby up?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Pretty please?
 * Queen Bloomina: Are you sure you want that? He's much less annoying when he's asleep.
 * Toby Topaz: But he's our friend!
 * Lincoln: Yeah!
 * Queen Bloomina: Fine... but please teach him to shut up. If he keeps blurting out threats like crazy, believe me it's only going to be a matter of time before someone kills him for it.
 * Red Ruby: What the? *stands up quickly and looks around his surroundings* What am I doing here lying on the ground? And where's that dumb flower?
 * Diana Diamond: Red, you can stop now. We have the shard.
 * Red Ruby: And how exactly did I find myself on the ground?
 * Amelia Amethyst: The flower cast a sleep spell on you. Don't worry about it, Red, we took care of it.
 * Boom: She also said you should learn to shut up, which to be honest, I agree with completely.
 * Red Ruby: And you expect me to listen to you? You don't scare me, you know.
 * Boom: I don't care if you're scared or not. I can still beat you up in less than 60 seconds.
 * Electra: Besides, I wouldn't recommend you start threatening Boom, or else I'll pitch in as well.
 * Boom: Simply put, I'm not the only one who wants you to control your recklessness.
 * Red Ruby: Why you...
 * Sean Sapphire: Let's not waste any more time and seize the next shard.
 * Coconut Crab: You're right, Mr. Sean.
 * Alice: So Red Fork, you said Shadow Spark has the next shard?
 * Red Fork: Yup!
 * Boom: Well, then let's go take down that liar!
 * Starcade: Yup!
 * Bonk Choy: How did none of us see that on the list earlier?
 * Green Shadow: It doesn't matter, let's go!
 * Rainbow Dash: What the!?
 * Applejack: In the name of apples, what's going on here?
 * Twilight: Who are you? And why are you attacking Ponyville?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, I believe we haven't met yet. I am Captain Dark Shell, the most powerful shadow warrior in existence. And this magical kingdom is going to be part of my new empire!
 * Rainbow Dash: No way! We're not going to let you do that!
 * Pinkie Pie: Yeah! Ponyville is our home!
 * Rarity: We won't let you and your army turn our beautiful world into a disastrous wasteland.
 * Captain Dark Shell: And what do you plan to do about it.
 * Twilight: We'll send you out of here. Girls, ready to use the Elements of Harmony?
 * Rainbow Dash: Uh, there's one problem with that idea. Red Fork has them.
 * Twilight: Oh... right.
 * Rarity: Where is he anyway?
 * Applejack: It's not like him to be missing when we need him.
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's the matter? Are you ponies too soft and weak to fight me without your precious elements?
 * Rainbow Dash: That's it! We're going to beat you up!
 * Twilight: We won't let you take over Equestria. Even without the elements, we'll fight for our home!
 * The other five ponies: Yeah!
 * Captain Dark Shell: So another battle begins? How delightful. After all, what could be better than shattering the spirit of six naive little ponies? Seeing you suffer, seeing you heartbroken, seeing you fall in front of all of those you care about... this will be perfect.
 * Rainbow Dash: Alright, it's time for a sonic rainboom!
 * Applejack: Rainbow Dash! Alright, that's it. Someone ought to teach you a lesson!
 * Fluttershy: What? No, I can't... *a bird chirps* Well... yes, my friends need me... *a squirrel chirps* But, how? That crab is too powerful. *A rabbit whispers into her ear* You'll help me? *the animals nod* Ok... let's go.
 * Fluttershy: What's the plan, Twilight?
 * Twilight: Stay back. I'll use my magic to try and stop him.
 * Fluttershy: Oh no!
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's the matter? Maybe friendship isn't so magic after all?
 * Twilight: Fluttershy... get... help... *closes her eyes, left unconscious*
 * Fluttershy: Oh... who could help us?
 * Captain Dark Shell: No one! No one can stop me!
 * Fluttershy: *a bird chirps* What?! No, that's too dangerous... *a rabbit looks at her* Well, that might work, but... *the rabbit jumps onto her, and taps his foot repeatedly* Ok, you're right. I'll do it.
 * Captain Dark Shell: No need to worry. She can't do anything on her own. Equestria is mine now.
 * Green Shadow: Great, we're back at Shadow Creek!
 * Bonk Choy: Oh. So we're finally out of that forest?
 * Green Shadow: Yes. But I can't seem to think of why Shadow Spark would hide the shard from us, when we're going to take it from him anyway later.
 * Starcade: Yeah, maybe he's up to something more dangerous than that wrecking ball machine.
 * Red Fork: You're right. Either way, we're going to stop him.
 * Shadow Fork-bot: You must leave Shadow Spark's territory immediately.
 * Green Shadow: What? No!
 * Jelo: Nope. We're here for another amulet shard.
 * Red Ruby: Where's your creator? Tell him to come out and fight us himself if neither of you are cowards!
 * Toby Topaz: Look, we don't want any more trouble, Mr. Robot. Can we please have the shard?
 * Shadow Fork-Bot: If you do not want more trouble, you will leave immediately. Otherwise, I will be forced to make you leave.
 * Lemon Glass: This isn't good.
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah.
 * Lincoln: *sigh* Guess it's the hard way then.
 * Luan: You mean "shard" way?
 * Marco: Seriously? Are you just going to make puns all day?
 * Luan: Why not? Someone's gotta keep the group's spirits up!
 * Bonk Choy: I kinda agree.
 * Sean Sapphire: Let's just fight the robot already. *draws his sword*
 * Amelia Amethyst: Red Fork, can't you fight it?
 * Red Fork: Sure! You guys go ahead. I'll take care of this!
 * Red Fork: Bet you can't catch me!
 * Shadow Fork-bot: Objective detected. Destroy!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Okay, he's gone. So what's the plan?
 * Sean Sapphire: We go into Shadow Spark's base and confront him again, that's what.
 * Red Ruby: And blow him up. Period.
 * Electra: *sarcasm* Because blowing him up is clearly not going to blow up the shard in the process. Yay, you're SOOOO smart!
 * Alice: We can't afford to be reckless. We have to do things carefully.
 * Red Ruby: And we certainly can't afford to be sarcastic jerks about it. *stares at Electra* Where in this base is that pony anyway?
 * Blue Ocean: If Shadow Spark thinks like Bright Spark, he probably has an office or something at the center of his base. We should check out there.
 * Starcade: Of course, an office.
 * Green Shadow: Let's quickly go there before Shadow Spark unleashes his next plan.
 * Marco: What are we waiting for? Let's move!
 * Blue Ocean: Ok, I'll admit this guy defends his base better than the Bright Spark from our dimension.
 * Bonk Choy: I don't see how.
 * Boom: Hello, is there a brain in there? The robots!
 * Alice: No need to be mean, Boom.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Those robots look just like Fork-bot!
 * Toby Topaz: And they look scary...
 * Amelia Amethyst: So what's the plan?
 * Sean Sapphire: We must fight them off, just like we always do.
 * Captain Red Shell: Let's do it.
 * Red Ruby: I'll do it! ARGH!!!
 * Diana Diamond: Red, wait!
 * Red Ruby: Maybe running in just like that wasn't a good idea.
 * Boom: Stupid reckless gem...
 * Red Ruby: I heard that!
 * Sean Sapphire: Great, now they know we're here!
 * Gary Garnet: Congrats, Red. Now you just brought us even more trouble.
 * Red Ruby: I was just trying to help by ending this quickly, okay? How am I supposed to know this would happen?
 * Gary Garnet: You should have known better than being so reckless, Red. Thanks to you, now we have no choice but to destroy these robots ourselves!
 * Red Ruby: Whatever. Shadow Spark has no chance against us anyway.
 * Star: Giant Rolling Snowball of Coldness!
 * Blue Ocean: Ok, time to go!
 * Blade: More of them are coming!
 * Boom: You can blame Mr. Reckless Ruby for that.
 * Red Ruby: What?! I was just trying to...*gets knocked out by a pony robot*
 * Sean Sapphire: *sighs* I guess it's up to us now.
 * Boom: Fine for me. Let's do it!
 * Sean Sapphire: If we're ready...forward!
 * Red Fork: Come on, keep it up!
 * Shadow Fork-Bot: I shall destroy you!
 * Red Fork: You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you, since I know everything you're going to do! Strange, isn't it?
 * Red Fork: Sorry, but you're out of order, copycat.
 * Red Fork: Well, that was cool. Time to go back to the gang to see how they're doing.
 * Green Shadow: Ah, you're back. Just in time.
 * Starcade: We just defeated those robots. Now we can move on to fight Shadow Spark.
 * Red Ruby: Let's go fight that pony...again!
 * Red Fork: Got it. Let's go, gang!
 * Blue Ocean: What the?
 * Shadow Spark: You guys are smarter than I thought.
 * Toby Topaz: What kind of an office is this?
 * Red Ruby: And where are you, you dumb pony? Why do you persist to cower within the shadows of fear?
 * Shadow Spark: And why do you persist in being the most irritating being this dimension has ever seen?
 * Red Ruby: Excuse me?
 * Shadow Spark: You won't get too far. Witness the Mega Hot Room! See if you can get your way out of this one, gang!
 * Red Fork: Hot Room, again? Seriously?
 * Green Shadow: So, there's probably going to be a Cold Room afterwards too.
 * Bonk Choy: How did we do this the last time?
 * Gary Garnet: Frost in enormous portions?
 * Blue Ocean: That was when we could see the machine. But this time around, there's no machine to be seen!
 * Red Fork: Wait a moment...
 * Red Fork: Found him!
 * Shadow Spark: Find this, you fools!
 * Bonk Choy: Watch out! The floor is lava!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Okay, I'm not an expert but maybe now it's a good time to use the powers of frost. *notices an incoming fire blast and quickly protects everyone from it with a forcefield* Whoa!
 * Blast: Let's give it a try!
 * Jaiden: Ready when you are!
 * Green Shadow: Good job, you two!
 * Shadow Spark: We're not done yet, fools!
 * Green Shadow: So, to the Cold Room?
 * Kyoji: Probably. We don't know for sure, Green Shadow.
 * Green Shadow: You're right about that. Let's go.
 * Shadow Spark: Are you ready for this? I'm gonna remix your faces!
 * Toby Topaz: Flying objects!
 * Gary Garnet: Those are torpedoes! *takes out his laser cannon and fires lasers at the torpedoes, destroying them before they can reach the gang*
 * Toby Topaz: Oh. So are torpedoes flying objects?
 * Gary Garnet: Look, as highly intelligent as I am, I simply do not have the brain capacity to answer such a ridiculous enquiry right now. *continues firing lasers at the torpedoes*
 * Toby Topaz: *shrugs* I don't even know what that means.
 * Red Fork: Come on gang, let's give him all we've got!
 * Blue Ocean: Careful guys, this machine looks pretty complex.
 * Shadow Spark: I'm gonna dubstomp you into oblivion!
 * Bonk Choy: Sure, but you gotta watch your "dub-step"! Get it?
 * Red Ruby: Just give up the shard, idiot. We've gotten four shards already, and you're as pathetic as a candle in a dynamite bundle!
 * Shadow Spark: How pathetic is this!?
 * Red Fork: There's gotta be a way to counter those fists.
 * Jenny: I've got an idea!
 * Shadow Spark: Agh! I'll get you for that, imprudent inksquirt!
 * Blue Ocean: Look out guys! I think that machine packs a mean laser!
 * Amelia Amethyst: How do we stop the machine?
 * Sean Sapphire: I don't know. Try a few attacks or something. They'll be worth a shot.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Okay.
 * Blast: Maybe we have to freeze him. *shoots ice blasts at the machine, but this fails as well*
 * Shadow Spark: Eat this!
 * Jenny: Guys, we have to hit the fists so they bounce back at Shadow Spark.
 * Blue Ocean: You know? That might just work!
 * Red Fork: It did work. Jenny did it a minute ago.
 * Blue Ocean: Oh, right.
 * Shadow Spark: DJ Sparkio is in the house!
 * Shadow Spark: Agh!
 * Shadow Spark: Argh! You annoying pests! Who do you think you are!?
 * Green Shadow: Kyoji, Blast, Jaiden, I need some backup!
 * Kyoji: I'm on my way. *helps Green Shadow and starts an ice combo*
 * Blast: Let's do it! *help Green Shadow*
 * Jaiden: Here we go! *helps Green Shadow as well*
 * Shadow Spark: You'll be nothing but history once I'm done with you!
 * Starcade: That's my cue!
 * Starcade: See that? You're good to go!
 * Green Shadow: Alright, you three. Let's stop Shadow Spark cold.
 * Shadow Spark: Eat this!
 * Shadow Spark: I'll get you for that!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Okay, I have an idea. Red Fork, do you have the Elements of Harmony with you? We can use them to perform a powerful combo against that machine!
 * Red Fork: Good idea.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Great! Let's do it!
 * Shadow Spark: What!? Noooo!
 * Red Fork: Sorry Shadow Spark, but the show's over.
 * Shadow Spark: No way! How did I lose!?
 * Red Fork: Because we're the Locked Room Gang!
 * Amelia Amethyst: And togetherness is might!
 * Everyone else: *facepalms*
 * Amelia Amethyst: Er, I mean magic is friendship! Or is it the other way around?
 * Lisa: To be more accurate, we've outpowered you.
 * Green Shadow: Either way, it's over, Shadow Spark. Now where's the shard?
 * Red Fork: Got it. *shows the shard he took from the pile of metal scraps*
 * Shadow Spark: Fine, you win. But the joke is on you pests! Once Captain Dark Shell finds out what you've done, you'll all be mincemeat. But I'm going to get out of here before Captain Dark Shell returns. So long, suckers!
 * Shadow Spark: Well, that was embarrassing... Uh... bye... I'll just go to my room to reflect on my life choices... *goes into his bedroom*
 * Red Fork: Well, that's five shards, only one more left!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Who's the last one on the list?
 * Red Fork: Let's see... the last villain on this list is: Shadow Galaximus.
 * Blast: Oh... boy...
 * Lincoln: Don't worry, Blast! We've defeated a lot of villains. I'm sure we can stop Shadow Galaximus.
 * Blast: Still, if Shadow Spark was tough, Shadow Galaximus is going to be even tougher.
 * Toby Topaz: No, not that inkling...can I pass on this one?
 * Sean Sapphire: No, Toby, you're coming with us. We're not going to leave you alone in this Shadow Dimension.
 * Toby Topaz: But...
 * Sean Sapphire: Or if that helps, just close your eyes in the fight later.
 * Toby Topaz: I don't know...
 * Red Ruby: Well, no "goddess" is going to scare me just like that. If she's the one who has the last shard, we should get out there and go blow her up like...now!
 * Red Fork: Ok gang, it's time we go pay a visit to Shadow Galaximus.
 * Green Shadow: We must be headed for...Shadow Inkopolis?
 * Blue Ocean: Let's go!
 * Hot Air: Argh! I can't take it anymore!
 * Smokey Bacon: What's wrong, mate?
 * Hot Air: Starcade, Blue and Pink Angel have been gone for so long! I don't even know where they went!
 * Smokey Bacon: Chill out, dude. If I know Starcade, she and her friends be able to handle whatever they're up to and get it done. Easy!
 * Licorice: I'm not so sure.
 * Owl: To be fair, Hot Air has a point. Starcade and the others have been gone for unusually quite a long time.
 * Smokey Bacon: Come on, what's the worst that could happen?
 * Smokey Bacon: Yikes, what is that?
 * Owl: That's a vampire bat, Smokey. But what is it doing here?
 * Smokey Bacon: Well, that sucks. I'm gonna hide in the corner and not get my blood sucked! See ya later! *goes to hide in a corner*
 * Owl: You don't even have blood!
 * Licorice: I'm with Smokey, I'm a little scared...*joins Smokey Bacon*
 * Fat Cat: Meow...*joins Licorice and Smokey Bacon*
 * Viking: Cowards.
 * Owl: I'll go talk to the bat. Hang on.
 * Owl: You there, bat, please leave my friends alone. You're scaring them.
 * Leech: What? I'm not here to suck blood, I came here because I need your help.
 * Owl: Our help? In what?
 * Leech: My apologies for crashing into your place unexpectedly, but there's no time. I'm Leech the Bat Princess, but you may call me Sally. I came to warn you about Captain Dark Shell!
 * Owl: Captain Dark Shell? Who's that?
 * Leech: Sorry, there's no time. He's about to come any minute, and I've been flying everywhere to get help!
 * Owl: What? Slow down, will you?
 * Warlock: The vampire bat speaks the truth. I foresee a dark entity approaching to our lands from a distance. He is bringing with him an army of doom, ready to spread nothing but death and destruction to us all.
 * Owl: A dark entity? Are you talking about this captain the bat has been telling me about?
 * Warlock: Precisely. Look, my staff is detecting his presence. *points to his magic staff glowing red* I see him. He is...
 * Captain Dark Shell: Go, shadow crabs! Destroy everything in sight, leave none of these inferior beings alive!
 * Leech: He's here! *flies outside to fight the shadow crabs again*
 * Owl: Wait, come back!
 * Warlock: And she's gone.
 * Smokey Bacon: Is it safe to come out now? Is the bat gone?
 * Owl: Yes, she is. And it appears she is fighting the crabs along with a few Eitbitizens out there.
 * Licorice: And Starcade isn't even back...this is going to be really bad.
 * Fat Cat: Meow...
 * Viking: Stop cowering in fear, soldiers! We must fight back even if Starcade and the others aren't here to help! They are counting on us to protect Eitbit, are we going to disappoint them by letting these crabs take over this city?
 * Smokey Bacon: Of course not, Viking. Please calm down.
 * Viking: Viking will never calm down in the flames of war! I will keep fighting even if it means a sacrifice, and you should all do the same! All of you!
 * Smokey Bacon: But...
 * Viking: Hot Air, assemble the other Retro Rebels! We're going to fight as one, and we will need all the help we can get!
 * Hot Air: Fine.
 * Smokey Bacon: So what's the plan?
 * Viking: We are going to war. *takes out his battle hammer*
 * Licorice: Gulp.
 * Viking: Everyone, follow me!
 * Leech: Down with you, you vicious crustacean!
 * Shadow Crab #1: Argh! Get away from me!
 * Leech: No can do. You're going down like the rest, I'll make sure of it.
 * Captain Dark Shell: You have been a pest for far too long, fanged fiend. I'm afraid that your pestering ends right here.
 * Owl: Stop right there!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ah, and who do we have here? A puny little bird? How adorable!
 * Owl: I'm not a puny little bird, I'm Owl! The Owl of the Retro Rebels! And you must be the Captain Dark Shell the vampire bat has been telling us about.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Precisely. But don't worry, I've taken care of her. And you're about to be next.
 * Owl: Not so fast.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, do you really think you have a chance against me? Need I list down the previous combatants who have stood up against me, only to fail miserably?
 * Owl: That's not necessary, because we're one group of combatants that'll never fail to defend Eitbit at all costs.
 * Captain Dark Shell: We?
 * Owl: Look around you and see for yourself.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ha ha ha ha ha, is this a joke? You're all nothing but an army of ants compared to all those who have previously stood against me! Who do you think you are for trying to stop me, the almighty and most powerful shadow warrior of the seas, Captain Dark Shell?
 * Viking: We're the Retro Rebels! We have fought off all who dared to conquer the lands of Eitbit!
 * Smokey Bacon: Yeah! You mess with the Retro Rebels, you get the ice!
 * Hot Air: And the explosive surprise!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Well, it's going to take a lot more than that to actually hurt me. Clearly none of you have any idea who you're up against.
 * Smokey Bacon: Well, we do! We're up against you, Captain Dark Shell!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Clever one, aren't you? Let's see how clever you actually are to fighting me!
 * Smokey Bacon: Sure! Ready, Licorice?
 * Licorice: Ready, I guess...
 * Hot Air: Prepare to die, dark crab!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Did you see that, Retro Rebels? This is what happens when you dare to challenge me! The Locked Room Gang, the cookies, the Mane Six, they have all failed to stop me. There hasn't even been a single opponent I can call worthy, all of them have fallen to the blade of my sword and the intensity of my powers! Not even Team Hybrids could do the job! What makes you fools think you can do the job better?
 * Viking: Because we're a team!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Teamwork? That's just plain stupid, even for you.
 * Viking: We'll see about that! Retro Rebels, charge!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I'm surprised Starcade has managed to keep the team for this long. You Retro Rebels are just like the rest, weak and powerless! Is that the best you could do?
 * Owl: There's more from where that came from. Show him, Fat Cat!
 * Fat Cat: MEOW!!!
 * Captain Dark Shell: An oversized cat? Are you actually serious?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Starcade is nothing compared to me. I'm much smarter, faster and stronger than her. Heck, I've even trapped Starcade and her friends in the Shadow Dimension where I used to belong!
 * Viking: You did WHAT?!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I trapped Starcade and her friends in the Shadow Dimension where I used to belong. Get some ears that actually function, oldie. You know, I think that I would make a much better leader of the Retro Rebels than that pathetic girl who calls herself "Star of the Arcade". If that would happen, no one would even dare to try invading Eitbit under my watch! They will cower once they see my face all over town! So give up, oldie, before I actually have to start hurting you.
 * Viking: I will never! I will keep fighting even if I die here!
 * Captain Dark Shell: So be it.
 * Viking: Hey, get down here!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You're pretty fearless for an old-fashioned warrior. Too bad you're about to perish. Killing you will be sheer delight.
 * Viking: I said get down here and fight me!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Play time is over. You lose. Game over, Viking.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Retro Rebels? More like Rubbish Rebels! Don't you agree, army of mine?
 * Captain Dark Shell: That's what I'm talking about. With those fools gone, we can proceed to destroy whatever is left standing in this city. Shadow crabs, it's time we continue.
 * ???: Go to sleep, fools!
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's this? My army!
 * ???: How pathetic. And I thought they were going to pose as a threat. Not anymore, as it seems.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Who dares to challenge me? Show yourself!
 * ???: As you wish.
 * Olympus: There can only be one ruler of Eitbit, and that would be me - the true Champion of Eitbit!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You? The true Champion of Eitbit? And here I am thinking that Starcade is the Champion of Eitbit!
 * Olympus: That girl? Well, she is. But that position rightfully belongs to me, and I won't stand for anyone to take that position away under my nose!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Aren't you the brave villain, Olympus? Coming all the way from your own city to challenge me and help these losers protect Eitbit?
 * Olympus: Protect Eitbit? I'm here to conquer it too, but I'm not letting you conquer it first. And besides, I'm not alone.
 * Olympus: Behold, my army of Space Invaders! You may have defeated the Retro Rebels, but I have done it once before as well. We're both on an equal page, so what makes you think you can take over Eitbit before I can?
 * Captain Dark Shell: How ignorant of you, Olympus. Do you not know who I am? I am the one and only Captain Dark Shell, conqueror of worlds and the most powerful shadow ninja in existence!
 * Olympus: Oh please, I took down your army like they were nothing! I doubt you can do better than them yourself.
 * Captain Dark Shell: You may have taken down my army, but my powers are formidable, stronger than countless armies combined!
 * Olympus: But are you more powerful than my own army?
 * Captain Dark Shell: What?
 * Dark Starcade: Space Invaders, attack!
 * Space Invaders: Immediately, Dark Starcade.
 * Dark Starcade: Do you think it's a good idea to send out the Space Invaders all at once to attack Captain Dark Shell, Olympus?
 * Olympus: I'm sure it is. What's the worst that could happen? That crab surely doesn't stand a chance against my formidable army!
 * Olympus: My army!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You were saying?
 * Olympus: You...you just took down my army like they were nothing!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It's only fair I take down your entire army the same way you did to mine. Now come on and actually fight me for real! It's time I prove who would make a better ruler of Eitbit among the both of us.
 * Dark Starcade: Don't you drag Olympus into this! Fight me instead!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Starcade? But I thought I already trapped you in the Shadow Dimension with the rest of the gang!
 * Dark Starcade: I'm nothing like that weaker doppelganger of mine. I'm Dark Starcade, and happily so. I wield the powers of both the arcade and shadow! *prepares shadow blasts*
 * Captain Dark Shell: So you're a shadow ninja too? Well, that's just great. And I thought that I had enough with dealing with you shadow ninjas! But not today. *takes out a mysterious potion*
 * Dark Starcade: What is that?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Don't worry, Dark Starcade. You'll find out soon enough.
 * Dark Starcade: I'll find that out myself once I kill you!
 * Dark Starcade: Oh, you are going down, you silly old crab! I'm gonna turn you into your own shadow! I'm gonna blast you to the depths of hell! I'm gonna...
 * Captain Dark Shell: You're going to what?
 * Dark Starcade: Well, I'm gonna kill you of course!
 * Dark Starcade: My shadow powers! They're gone!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It's just not your lucky day today, isn't it? All powers come and go, it's only a matter of time before you lose them.
 * Dark Starcade: Why you...
 * Olympus: You alright?
 * Dark Starcade: Yes...sorry Olympus...*faints*
 * Olympus: Grrrr.....
 * Olympus: You're right, Captain Dark Shell. It's time we end this.
 * Captain Dark Shell: How cute. You're actually trying to stand up against me when you're all alone, just a few steps closer to your defeat.
 * Olympus: I can say the same for you. Now stop talking and fight!
 * Captain Dark Shell: With sheer delight, I say that you're doomed. There's no one left standing in this city but you and me.
 * Olympus: And I'll gladly be the last one standing!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Give up!
 * Olympus: No, you give up!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Hmph... *looks at the cut on his shell*
 * Olympus: What's the matter, Captain? Scared?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Honestly, I'm surprised. You're the first non-shadow opponent to actually be able todo me any damage. But you have to do much more than that to actually hurt me enough to defeat me.
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's this?
 * Olympus: And you thought I can't conjure an army too. Well, I can! My army of illusions, that is.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Illusions? This is truly the bottom of the barrel for you now, isn't it?
 * Olympus: Maybe. But that ought to destroy you soon enough. Then I can happily rise above your carcass and everyone will know me as the hero who has stopped you from conquering the multiverse.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Funny that these words are coming out from the mouth of a villain. I don't have time for your silly games, I have more worlds to conquer. Now be gone!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It was certainly nice defeating you. You've been one of my toughest adversaries, I must admit, but not even you have succeeded in stopping me. You lose, Olympus. Sorry.
 * Olympus: Ugh...
 * Captain Dark Shell: Now with you dealt with, I can finally take what is rightfully mine!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Did you see that, my minions? This is how you defeat your opponents and destroy everything in your way! Bear that in mind as we continue conquering the next few worlds! And with these next few combatants defeated, Eitbit and Champion City are ours! Shadow crabs, it's time we move on!
 * Red Fork: Ok, this is it, guys.
 * Jaiden: So this is where Shadow Galaximus is?
 * Blue Ocean: According to my calculations, yes.
 * Jenny: This ought to be interesting.
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, Locked Room Gang. Let's go confront Shadow Galaximus. She's the only villain left.
 * Jelo: I've got my sword ready.
 * Alice: I've got my plasma cannon ready.
 * Star: I got my wand ready!
 * Marco: *does a karate kick in the air* Ready!
 * Gary Guppy: And I've got my bombs ready!
 * Red Ruby: Same here.
 * Red Fork: If we're all ready, then let's go defeat Shadow Galaximus and get the final shard!
 * Jelo: Okay. Gang, let's go stop an inkling goddess!￼
 * Green Shadow: Yes, let's go. Let's see how much of a goddess she truly is.
 * ???: Where do you think you're going?
 * Green Shadow: Dark Jaiden?
 * Bonk Choy: Or perhaps Dark Dark Jaiden?
 * Jaiden: I think it's just dark Jaiden.
 * Blue Ocean: Though having the name Dark Dark Jaiden would be pretty funny.
 * ???: It's Double D Jaiden to you, blue.
 * Blue Ocean: But doesn't the Double D represent two "dark"s?
 * Double D Jaiden: Well... yes... but that's not the point! I know you came here to stop Shadow Galaximus. I'm not going to let that happen.
 * Blast: Heh, you think you can stop us by yourself?
 * Jaiden: Take this!
 * Blast: Jaiden!
 * Tommy: What was that?
 * ???: The correct question would be, who was that?
 * Double D Jaiden: I was beginning to wonder where you were, Dark Boom.
 * Dark Boom: Pff... no worries, I've got you covered.
 * Double D Jaiden: Yeah, right.
 * Jelo: Gang, we need some planning for this.
 * Red Ruby: Plan? Why need a plan when we dealt with similar villains like them before?
 * Gary Garnet: Because only geniuses plan before acting.
 * Red Ruby: Unnecessary, Gary!
 * Akasha: *rolls her eyes* We're wasting time with this pointless arguing. Let me just get them out of the way.
 * Akasha: See? Problem solved.
 * Blue Ocean: I think we're going to need more than that.
 * Starcade: Agreed.
 * Red Ruby: Sure, I can give them much more than that! Much more.
 * Red Ruby: Ha! Take that, Dark Boom, I mean, Dark Opposite Blast!
 * Jelo: You still need to be aware of what happens next, Red.
 * Dark Boom: Oh yeah?
 * Red Ruby: Yeah!
 * Dark Boom: Mess with me and you'll regret it!
 * Boom: Ha! Did you give them what you intended?
 * Dark Boom: You're next!
 * Boom: Bring it on.
 * Jaiden: Ice shield! *creates an ice shield*
 * Akasha: And I thought Dark Jaiden was a weak fire ninja. Turns out you're much weaker than her, is that all you got? *fires shadow blasts at Double D Jaiden*
 * Dark Boom: Is that all you've got? I won't be letting you do that to her!
 * Jelo: That gave me an idea. Gang, attack both Dark Boom and DD Jaiden at the same time. That way, they can't barrage us with attacks.
 * Red Ruby: As if no one will think of that idea! I mean, come on!
 * Sean Sapphire: Just keep fighting! *tosses water blasts at Dark Boom*
 * Jelo: Oh wait, here's a better idea. Everyone, attack Dark Boom. If we defeat him first, he can't defend DD Jaiden. *grabs his sword and slashes at Dark Boom*
 * Red Fork: Works for me! *rams into Dark Boom*
 * Dark Boom: Hey!
 * Double D Jaiden: Gee, thanks a lot, Dark Boom. You're soooo helpful...
 * Red Fork: Everyone, attack her now!
 * Akasha: I'll take care of this.
 * Double D Jaiden: Ouch...
 * CypherDen: We did it!
 * Jelo: Now to face that goddess.
 * Red Fork: Yeah, let's go! Charge!
 * Bonk Choy: Hey, it's that creep doctor! Uh...what's his name again?
 * Green Shadow: Dr. Creep.
 * Bonk Choy: Close enough.
 * Dr. Shadow Creep: HEADS UP! (throws a bunch of Creeper eggs, which summons Creepers. The Creepers then charge towards the gang)
 * Bonk Choy: Hey, I think I've seen those things in that one mining game. What's it called?
 * Starcade: Minecraft.
 * Bonk Choy: Oh yeah, Minecraft! So what are those things?
 * Starcade: Those are Creepers.
 * Bonk Choy: Oh. *looks at the Creepers charging towards them* Ah! Creepers!
 * Blue Ocean: Aah! Look out! Creepers incoming!
 * Blast: What? But we're not mining at night.
 * Electra: *creates an electric forcefield around the gang* Focus!
 * Jelo: Electra, Red, try blowing up the Creepers before they get to us.
 * Red Ruby: Now we're talking! *throws dynamite sticks at the Creepers, blowing several of them up*
 * Gary Guppy: Ka-boomie! *tosses bombs at the Creepers, making many of them blow up before they reach the gang*
 * Blast: Enemy incoming!
 * Captain Red Shell: I'll take care of this.
 * Bonk Choy: Well, who knew a doctor could swordfight?
 * Starcade: No surprise there. Olympus is a pretty good swordfighter himself, and so is Captain Blowhole. Dr. Shadow Creep isn't the first villain I've seen to swordfight.
 * Bonk Choy: Ah, okay then. *to Captain Red Shell* Do you need help?
 * Captain Red Shell: *confronting Dr. Shadow Creep* I'm good for now, but I'll let you know if I need support. For now, focus on those creepers.
 * Bonk Choy: If you say so. *grabs a rock out of nowhere and throws it at the Creepers*
 * Star: Rainbow Light Beam of Destruction!
 * Green Shadow: We did it! Good job, guys!
 * Sean Sapphire: Yeah! All we need to do now is wait until Captain Red Shell finishes fighting Dr. Shadow Creep. Hey, I wonder how he's doing.
 * Lincoln: Hopefully he's okay.
 * Dr. Shadow Creep: Urgh! I'm not done yet! (attempts to grab some more Creeper eggs)
 * Blast: Oh, no you won't!
 * Sean Sapphire: Yeah! What a way to go.
 * Star: Ooooh, cool! Or was it shocking? Or burning? Maybe splashing? Eh, I don't know.
 * Luan: I guess his plans to blow us up, blew up instead!
 * Red Ruby: Come on, let's just go blow up that "goddess" already!
 * Lisa: There's a 50% chance we will encounter yet another minion of Shadow Galaximus before we go to the final battle.


 * Red Fork: That also means there's a 50% that we won't encounter any more minions before fighting Shadow Galaximus.

Suddenly, the gang feels the ground tremble, as they hear giant footsteps. Effectively, the gang now finds themselves face to face with Shadow Galaximus. Shadow Galaximus prepares to smash the gang. ''As the rest of the gang does so, Green Shadow creates an icy surface below Shadow Galaximus' foot and quickly dodges it. Shadow Galaximus steps on the ice surface, and slips, falling back.'' Galaximus attacks Green Shadow with her tentacles. Star's wand shoots a ray of bright light hitting Shadow Galaximus' eyes. ''Shadow Galaximus shoots ink all over the place, hitting several members of the gang. She then goes into inkling form, and swims in the ink, before coming out to surprise attack the gang.'' Akasha flies upwards, before charging up a powerful shadow blast. ''Akasha fires the powerful shadow blast at Shadow Galaximus' face, dealing huge damage to her. Shadow Galaximus is pushed back a few feet, looking now even angrier than before.'' ''Red Fork charges towards Shadow Galaximus. Shadow Galaximus dodges Red Fork's attack, but is attacked from behind by Ace's shadow blast. As Shadow Galaximus turns around to attack Ace, Captain Red Shell attacks slashing away with his sword. On the other side, Blade shoots cutting blades, while Electra is shooting electric bolts. Shadow Galaximus keeps taking damage, but she doesn't seem to be getting weaker. She then gets angrier, and stomps on the ground, making everything shake. The members of the gang lose balance and fall on the ground.'' Sasuke spins around, creating a hurricane around him that splashes water everywhere, washing away the ink and hurting Shadow Galaximus. Rebecca shoots several water blasts at Shadow Galaximus, weakening her even more. ''Sasuke and Rebecca perform a double water combo against Shadow Galaximus. The water combo washes away all of Shadow Galaximus's ink, and defeats her.'' ''The gang grabs all the shards of the Amulet of the Dark Seas, and puts them together. The amulet begins to shine, as it slowly begins to restore itself.'' Ace grabs the Amulet of the Dark Seas, and uses it to generate a portal back to Echo Creek. Starcade notices Kyoji looking at an unconscious Sakura with a shocked expression on his face. Captain Dark Shell watches as his army runs freely around Echo Creek, taking anything they desire. Suddenly, a laser hits Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell looks around, only to see Bright Spark in his Spark-o-Matic. ''Bright Spark whistles, and suddenly, several other villains come out of the bushes. Re-Peat Boss, Boss Choy, Dark Green Shadow, Doughleficent, Fork-bot, Galaximus, Jacqueline, the plant villains and more!'' ''Doughleficent sends gingerbread zombies at Captain Dark Shell, but he uses a shadow art to levitate them and tos them away. Fork-bot rams into Captain Dark Shell, but Captain Dark Shell blocks the attack with his sword. Bright Spark prepares to shoot more lasers while Captain Dark Shell is dealing with Fork-bot. However, when Bright Spark shoots, Captain Dark Shell jumps out of the way, and the laser hits Fork-bot instead.'' ''Re-Peat Boss fires green energy spheres at Boss Choy through his Moss-Bot, giving the latter enhanced strength. Boss Choy smashes the ground, before running around Captain Dark Shell at an incredible speed and throwing boulders at him. Captain Dark Shell flies around dodging the boulders, before suddenly using a shadow art to levitate Boss Choy and the boulders.'' ''Captain Dark Shell uses the shadow art to toss Boss Choy at Re-Peat Boss's Moss-Bot, and then tosses the boulders at all the villains. One of them falls on the Moss-Bot, smashing it.'' ''Captain Dark Shell uses his sword to send a powerful shadow wave at Fork-bot, damaging him. Fork-bot shoots energy blasts from his horn, but Captainn Dark Shell deflects them with his sword, before using teleporting to behind Fork-bot, and slashing him with the sword. Fork-bot falls to the ground, defeated.'' ''Captain Dark Shell then sees an army of electric dolphins charging towards him, holding swords in their fins and shooting electric water jets from their blowholes at Captain Dark Shell. ??? reveals himself to be Captain Blowhole, who is leading his army.'' ''Captain Blowhole's electric dolphin army charges towards Captain Dark Shell, firing electric water jets at him. Captain Dark Shell teleports to behind the electric dolphins, and slashes them all with his sword. However, Captain Blowhole sees it coming and leaps at Captain Dark Shell, preparing to deal a powerful sword slash to him from behind. But just before Captain Blowhole's manuever could be successful, Captain Dark Shell uses a shadow art to levitate Captain Blowhole.'' Captain Dark Shell continues levitating Captain Blowhole, and spins him around very fast, before tossing him as far as he can. ''Galaximus grows to giant size, and tries to smash Captain Dark Shell. However, Captain dark Shell flies around with a shadow art, and while he's at it, he uses his sword to slash at Galaximus's tentacles.'' ''Galaximus gets angrier, and continues attacking Captain Dark Shell. Galaximus then summons minions to support her. However, Captain Dark Shell quickly slashes through all the minions.'' ''Galaximus shoots a shrinking laser at Captain Dark Shell. However, Captain Dark Shell deflects it with his sword, and the laser bounces back at Galaximus, making her shrink.'' Galaximus has shrunk to a tiny size thanks to her own laser, and looks afraid of Captain Dark Shell now. Captain Dark Shell levitates shrunken Galaximus, and levitates her above a fountain. As Captain Dark Shell is taking advantage of the situation, Flim & Flam suddenly appear in a huge bulldozer. Music begins to play, as Flim and Flam prepare to begin their musical number, but before they could begin, the music stops as Captain Dark Shell grabs them. ''Flim takes out an electric shock weapon, and uses it to shock Captain Dark Shell. This causes him to drop Galaximus, but Flam picks her up before she falls into the water.'' ''Captian Dark Shell uses his shadow art to toss both Flim and Flam far away. All the other villains see this, and together they charge towards Captain Dark Shell to confront him. However, not even all of them together manage to defeat him. Captain Dark Shell smiles as he stands on the pile of defeated villains.'' However, before Captain Dark Shell leaves, he sees a group of machines approaching him. ''It's the Z-Turtle, piloted by Tempo, the Z-Alien, piloted by Bark, The Z-Lizard, piloted by Breeze, and the Z-Spider, piloted by Splash. Additionally, Miss Bloomina, Johnny McSplat, Payton Piranha and Bob the Blob are coming as well. Dr. Zack is watching from above within a small ship.'' Captain Dark Shell slashes the Z-Alien with his sword, but it doesn't take any damage. ''The Z-Turtle shoots homing missiles at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell flies away, but the missiles continue to home onto him. Captain Dark Shell decides to take advantage of this, and flies around the Z-Alien, causing the missiles to hit it. The Z-Alien seems undamaged.'' ''The Z-Lizard uses its tongue to grab onto one of Captain Dark Shell's legs. The Z-Spider then comes to attempt attacking him. However, Captain Dark Shell levitates the Z-Lizard, and tosses it onto the Z-Spider, damaging both machines.'' ''Captain Dark Shell laughs slightly, before summoning a shower of shadow blasts over all the machines. Some of them take damage, but specifically the Z-Alien is still undamaged.'' ''Tempo controls the Z-Turtle, making it shoot more homing missiles at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell sees this, and now tries a new idea. He flies around a tree. The missiles crash into the tree, blowing it up and leaving a few branches on fire. Captain Dark Shell tosses these branches at the Z-Alien, and it quickly takes damage.'' ''Bloomerang, Squash, Petal and Thorn rush towarrds Captain Dark Shell. However, Captain Dark Shell levitates the Z-Lizard, and tosses it onto the four plants, defeating them in one hit. Bob the Blob steps towards the dark captain, and begins to divide himself into several blob balls, attempting to attack him. Captain Dark Shell levitates all the blob balls apart, and tosses them in separate directions.'' ''Captain Dark Shell quickly disposes of Payton's piranha army, and Johnny McSplat. He then grabs the heavily damaged Z-Alien with a shadow art, and tosses it at the Z-Lizard, destroying both machines. He then summons another shower of shadow blasts, damaging both Z-Turtle and Z-Spider. He then tosses the Z-Spider at the Z-Turtle, finishing off both machines. Splash, Bark, Tempo and Breeze laeve the destroyed machines.'' ''Splash, Bark, Tempo and Breeze charge towards Captain Dark Shell. However, once again, Captain Dark Shell uses a shadow art, this time to levitate all four superpowered teens, and tosses them far away. They all yell as they fly far away, until finally, the leave sight with a small twinkle.'' ''Ink Burst comes with a huge capsule. She places the capsule on the ground, and flies away. Dr. Zack presses a button, and the capsule opens. A huge creature roars from inside the capsule. It steps out of the capsule, making the ground tremble. It's PHX-001!'' ''PHX-001 roars at Captain Dark Shell, and spits out a sphere of magic and ink. Captain Dark Shell flies out of the way, but PHX-001 spits out another sphere right where Captain Dark Shell was heading to, managing to hit him.'' ''PHX-001 shoots out dozens of magic ink spheres. Captain Dark Shell moves around, dodging the spheres, and once he reaches PHX-001, he begins to slash the monstrous hybrid with his sword. However, PHX-001 doesn't show the slightest signs of pain. Instead, he roars at Captain Dark Shell, and grabs him with one of his hooves. PHX-001 shakes captain Dark Shell around, and then tosses him against a building with so much strength, that the entire building collapses after the collision. Captain Dark Shell seems covered in a pile of scraps, but after a few seconds, he breaks his way out of the pile of ruins.'' ''PHX-001 stomps the ground with so much force, that the earth begans to break beneath them. Captain Dark Shell flies, but the buildings and trees around them begin to collapse. Captain Dark Shell summons a shower of shadow blasts over PHX-001, but this doesn't hurt him in the slightest.'' ''Captain Dark Shell is smashed by one of the falling buildings. However, he breaks free from the pile of ruins again, this time more injured. One of the shadow blasts enters PHX-001's mouth, causing him to squeal in pain.'' ''PHX-001 roars again at Captain Dark Shell, and summons dozens of spheres of magic and ink. These spheres rotate around him, creating a sort of shield around him. Captain Dark Shell Slashes the magic ink spheres, but while he does this, PHX-001 smacks Captain Dar kShell with one of his hooves, blowing him into a rock. Captain Dark Shell looks slightly more injured, but is still far from defeat.'' ''Captain Dark Shell creates a shadow twister with his sword, which sucks all the magic ink spheres. Captain Dark Shell then shoots a shadow blast right into PHX-001's mouth, causing him to shriek in pain.'' ''PHX-001 roars at Captain Dark Shell again, and suddenly, his horn begins to glow. All of a sudden, everything in Echo Creek begins floating around, including Captain Dark Shell and PHX-001. PHX-001 is manipulating the gravity field, making everything around them float aimlessly. Captain Dark Shell tries to fly around, but it's useless. His flying ability doesn't work. PHX-001 now shoots several magic ink spheres at Captain Dark Shell, damaging him continously with each one, and weakening him.'' ''Captain Dark Shell summons another shower of shadow blasts, even though he seems exhausted. The shower of shadow blasts doesn't hurt PHX-001, but it does confuse him. Captain Dark Shell aims, and shoots straight to PHX-001's mouth, causing him to shriek in pain one last time. The gravity returns to normal, and everything falls back to the ground. Even Captain Dark Shell is too tired to fly, and hits the ground. PHX-001, unable to stand a single second more, falls unconscious.'' Captain Dark Shell steps away, but before he leaves, he summons a shower of shadow blasts over Dr. Zack's base, causing massive destruction there. ''Menawhile, the gang continues searching for Captain Dark Shell. However, they don't find him anywhere. Instead, they only see hundreds of shadow crab warriors destroying everything in town.'' The gang sees as Quick Pea comes running to them looking worried. Ace leaves with Quick Pea. Red Fork attempts to lure Captain Dark Shell towards them with the amulet, but instead, all the shadow crab warriors start marching towards them. ''The gang charges towards the shadow crab warriors, ready to get rid of them. As the battle starts, hundreds of shadow crabs begin surrounding the gang, attacking them from every angle with their swords, while using their shields to defend themselves.'' Red Ruby throws a dynamite stick at one of the shadow crabs, only for the shields to protect the shadow crabs from the explosion. ''Red Fork tries ramming into them, but dozens of shadow crab soldiers together have enough strength to counter the ramming attack. The hundreds of shadow crabs attack the forcefield, quickly destroying it.'' The shadow crabs are about to defeat the gang, but suddenly, one of them is hit by a powerful ink blast. The gang looks, and sees that i'ts Ink Splash, with the entire Team Hybrids behind her. At the other side, Dark Shadow appears with a powerful dark magic explosion, while Black Gem flies above the crabs, kicking them. ''A group of plants appears as well. A witch hazel, a ghost pepper, an endurian and an Apple Mortar.'' ''A huge boat falls on a few shadow crabs. Out of the boat comes Iron Heart, Windy Sails, Shimmer, Gabby, Albert & Huoshan.'' At a distance, the gang sees Red Spoon bashing through the shadow crabs with his hot frying pan, followed by the food delegates. ''All of a sudden, the gang sees the shadow crabs being washed away by giant water waves. The shadow crabs were then showered with a rain of icicles, a boulder shower, a powerful tornado, rapid barrages of flames and a lightning bolt chain. Out emerges Tsunami, as well as Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire and Thunderstorm.'' ''A few seconds later, Night Cap appears next to the gang with a smoke bomb. He comes with Sting and Spark.'' ''Above the gang, comes a large drone-like ship. The gang sees Dr. Sanders and Allison inside the ship.'' Test Subject Blue points to a portal, where the gang sees Starcade's entire team of Retro Rebels emerge, ready to fight. ''The Retro Rebels charge towards the shadow crabs and fight them. The gang looks around, and sees more and more allies coming to support them. They see the cookies come, they see Paula Python too, and even Captain Snap Jaws. The gang realizes just how many allies they've made after so many adventures.'' ''The gang and their allies fight the shadow crabs together. The shadow crabs charge towards the gang and confront them.''
 * Red Ruby: Oh, skip the statistics, let's just go find Shadow Galaximus and blow her up!
 * Toby Topaz: What was that?
 * Bonk Choy: Feet!
 * Red Ruby: Come on, now, seriously? None of us should be afraid of a mere earthquake anymore at this point!
 * Amelia Amethyst: But that can only mean that she's here, right?
 * Jelo: Yep. Gang, this is it. The final battle before we can get the last amulet shard and get out of this dark place.
 * Shadow Galaximus: What are you doing here? Go away or I'll crush you!
 * Green Shadow: We're here for your shard, so just hand it over and we'll get out of your air.
 * Toby Topaz: Please?
 * Shadow Galaximus: Me? Give the shard to you, puny little creatures? In your dreams! Talking about dreams, I hope you've accomplished them by now, because your time has come!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Oh no! What do we do?
 * Red Ruby: *sarcastically* I don't know. Blow her up?
 * Green Shadow: Everyone, get out of her way!
 * Blue Ocean: Good one, Green Shadow!
 * Shadow Galaximus: You'll pay for that, puny pea!
 * Star: Super Blinding Starstruck Starlight!
 * Shadow Galaximus: Aah! My eyes!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Oh no! *creates a forcefield to protect the gang*
 * Sean Sapphire: This forcefield won't hold us long.
 * Akasha: I'll take care of this...again.
 * Akasha: Super Blinding...uh...Shadowlight?
 * Shadow Galaximus: I won't let you get away with this.
 * Red Fork: Well, we won't let you get away with the shard.
 * Toby Topaz: Ah!
 * Sean Sapphire: Oof!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Ouch!
 * Bonk Choy: Woomy!
 * Re-Peat Moss: How are we going to defeat that TRICKY inkling?
 * Sasuke: Wait, if she's an inkling, that must mean...*charges up his water powers* Oh ho ho, it's water time!
 * Shadow Galaximus: Aagh! No, don't do that again!
 * Rebecca: Good idea, Sasuke!
 * Shadow Galaximus: No, don't you dare!
 * Red Fork: Make a double water combo together! That should finish her off!
 * Sasuke: Don't have to tell us twice. Ready, Rebecca?
 * Rebecca: As always.
 * Luan: I can say, this Inkling has been officially washed off the list!
 * Shadow Galaximus: No! How could I lose!?
 * Sasuke: Water beats ink, genius.
 * Red Ruby: I think he means it's because of the fact that you're not a goddess, you're a wimp!
 * Lisa: Both points are acceptable.
 * Sean Sapphire: Now hand over the shard.
 * Shadow Galaximus: No way! I refuse to...
 * Red Fork: Got it. Sasuke, Rebecca...
 * Shadow Galaximus: Ok, ok! Fine! You win! *gives them the shard* Just don't ever tell anyone about this!
 * Jelo: Okay, Shadow Galaximus. *to the gang* Gang, we've finally got all the shards needed to assemble the Amulet!
 * Marco: Phew, finally!
 * Red Ruby: About time, now we can get out of this gloomy place!
 * Bonk Choy: Don't you mean woomy?
 * Red Ruby: Shut up!
 * Luan: Aw, come on! It was a good pun!
 * Sean Sapphire: Let's just reassemble the Amulet and get out of here.
 * Jaiden: Okay!
 * Jelo: Gang, I think we're finally able to go home.
 * Red Fork: Yup. Let's go, gang!
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah! We're in daylight! We made it home, woo hoo!
 * Sean Sapphire: True, but it isn't over. There's one more thing to do, and that's getting even with Captain Dark Shell.
 * Red Fork: You're right.
 * Alice: We have to hurry though. Who knows how much damage he could've already done.
 * Green Shadow: We may be back, but the multiverse is still in danger.
 * Starcade: Yeah! Everyone's counting on us, so we have to act fast! Right, Kyoji?
 * Starcade: Kyoji?
 * Kyoji: Captain Dark Shell...he...he hurt my sister...
 * Starcade: Is everything okay?
 * Kyoji: Sorry Starcade, but I'm not doing fine here. Captain Dark Shell came and took down my sister, I just know it. I have to help her...*runs to Sakura*
 * Starcade: Kyoji? But...
 * Red Ruby: Eh, let's just move on before...
 * Emma Emerald: *notices the unconscious animal advisors and gasps* My advisors! *runs towards her animal advisors*
 * Green Shadow: Yikes. Looks like Captain Dark Shell is already steps ahead of us. He took down both Sakura and the animal advisors already?
 * Luan: That's...serious.
 * Jelo: Why is everything all wrecked up and on fire?
 * Blue Ocean: Have you even been paying attention? Captain Dark Shell surely did all of this!
 * Red Fork: But, where is he?
 * Captain Dark Shell: All those who thought they could defeat me have been humilliated.
 * Captain Dark Shell: What the?
 * Captain Dark Shell: What are you trying to do?
 * Bright Spark: We're not going to let you take control of Echo Creek. That's OUR job!
 * Captain Dark Shell: "Our job"?
 * Bright Spark: Yes!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ignorant weaklings. Do you really believe you stand a chance against me?
 * Boss Choy: Of course we do, jerk!
 * Bright Spark: Just wait and see. Charge!
 * Re-Peat Boss: You, of all villains, ordering me to charge? That's petty.
 * Boss Choy: But Re-Peat Boss...
 * Re-Peat Boss: Whatever, but just this once.
 * Dark Green Shadow: You won't try to take over Echo Creek anymore!
 * Doughleficent: Agreed!
 * Bright Spark: This is our town, so get lost, shadow crab!
 * Captain Dark Shell: See if you can force me to.
 * Fork-bot: Damage detected...
 * Bright Spark: You'll pay for that, you jerk!
 * Boss Choy: Suck my punches!
 * Re-Peat Boss: Prepare for extraordinary punches!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You think you are strong? You are nothing!
 * Re-Peat Boss: No, my Moss-Bot!
 * Fork-bot: *stands up again* Target detected. Fight!
 * Captain Dark Shell: *looks at Fork-bot* You'll fall to pieces, useless piece of scrap.
 * Fork-bot: Mission failed... *turns off*
 * ???: And you'll fall into pieces, useless piece of crab. Get him, boys!
 * Captain Blowhole: Neither you nor the Water God will take over this city before I do!
 * Bright Spark: Who's the water... *is tossed into a tree with a shadow art*
 * Captain Dark Shell: Silence. And as for you, dolphin warrior, I'm afraid you've come too late. This city is already mine. But if you want to fight for it, I'd be more than glad to humiliate you and your army like no foe has done before.
 * Captain Blowhole: So be it. No humiliation can break my warrior spirit. *draws his sword and points it at Captain Dark Shell* My army, charge!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Nice try.
 * Captain Dark Shell: But you're just as helpless as everyone else.
 * Galaximus: Alright shadowface, you've had your fun. But it's going to end right here, right now.
 * Captain Dark Shell: *sarcasm* Oh, really?
 * Galaximus: I'm the Inkling Goddess! I'll smash you to pieces!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Give it a try. I dare you.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Regardless of your size, you will not prevail.
 * Galaximus: Oh, you're going to eat those words, puny crab!
 * Galaximus: You know what? That's it! I'll shrink you to the size of an ant!
 * Galaximus: What? No!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It seems like your plan backfired, didn't it?
 * Galaximus: Don't kill me!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, I won't.
 * Captain Dark Shell: I'll just let the water do that part.
 * Galaximus: No! Not water! Anything but that!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Well.. let's see... why should I spare you?
 * Captain Dark Shell: What?
 * Flim: Have you ever wanted to be the ruler of the universe?
 * Flam: Have you ever wanted to have every living being in the universe to obey your orders?
 * Flim: Well, we've got the perfect solution for you!
 * Captain Dark Shell: *levitates Flim and Flam in front of him*  I have no time for pathetic musical numbers. Now get lost!
 * Flim: But, we've got the perfect product for a future ruler of the universe like you?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Really?
 * Flam: It's the two thousand!
 * Captain Dark Shell: The two thousand what?
 * Flim: The two thousand watt weapon!
 * Flim: Want to buy it? The price is two hundred bucks, but for today only, we'll be giving you a twenty percent discount!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Here's your discount!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It's a pity you decided to stand up against me. I could've hired you as part of my army. But I guess it had to be this way. It was nice to give you the beating of your lives, but I must get going now.
 * Captain Dark Shell: What?
 * Dr. Zack: So, you're the new threat everyone has been talking about?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Who wishes to know?
 * Dr. Zack: I'm Dr. Zack, the greatest scientist in the world!
 * Captain Dark Shell: And I should care because?
 * Breeze: This world is ours!
 * Bark: So you'd better leave, or else!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Or else what?
 * Bark: Uh... how about you leave, and I'll go see you next Tuesday and tell you?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Or how about I destroy your face?
 * Captain Dark Shell: What?
 * Dr. Zack: Surrender to my power, Captain of darkness! Or else, you'll be smashed into submission.
 * Tempo: Act now, dark crustacean. It's getting late.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you really think I fear a few machines? I'm much more than anything you can create. And if you really believe you can best me, then give it a try.
 * Dr. Zack: Attack!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You'll fall into pieces. It's just a matter of time.
 * Splash: Ah!
 * Breeze: Get off!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It must have a weakness.
 * Tempo: Your time has come, mad crstuacean!
 * Bark: No! He found the weakness! I repeat, he found the weakness!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Prepare to die, gang of fools!
 * Miss Bloomina: Attack him!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Brainless blob.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ready to surrender?
 * Breeze: We're just getting started.
 * Dr. Zack: You... you...
 * Captain Dark Shell: Surprised, doctor? I am an invincible shadow warrior! Now surrender, or you'll go down into pieces, just like the rest of your useless creations.
 * Dr. Zack: I didn't want to have to do this, but you've left me no choice.
 * Captain Dark Shell: What in the name of shadows is this thing?
 * Dr. Zack: PHX-001, the original pony-inkling hybrid. Too powerful for his own good, this hybrid is virtually invincible.
 * Ink Burst: Team Hybrids defeated him.
 * Dr. Zack: Shut up!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I cannot believe what I am seeing.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Agh... you hit hard, don't you? Well, it's time to teach you what I can do.
 * Captain Dark Shell: *looking a bit damaged* You won't best me, I declare! I am the warrior that never falls to anyone ever!
 * Captain Dark Shell: What?!
 * Captain Dark Shell: That's it! He's invulnerable from the outside, but his inside is vulnerable to my attacks!
 * Catpain Dark Shell: Ugh... the battle isn't over!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Suffer, monstrous being! This is what you get for attempting to stop me!
 * Captain Dark Shell: *trying to fly away from the magic ink spheres, but failing each time* Ouch... I... *seems weak*
 * PHX-001: *roars*
 * Captain Dark Shell: I can't... I can't... I can't fail!
 * Dr. Zack: What? No!!!
 * Captain Dark Shell: *panting* Do you see? All of your creations have failed to stop me. I must admit, that monstrosity was one of the toughest adversaries in my entire career... *exhausted* But he has fallen. It's your turn.
 * Dr. Zack: *attempts to beg for mercy* Please, don't do it! I'll join your army! But please, don't kill me!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Why should I let you live? Give me a single reason why!
 * Dr. Zack: Because... because...
 * Captain Dark Shell: *grabs Dr. Zack by his neck, causing him to choke, but after a few seconds, he lets go of Dr. Zack.* Forget it. You're not worth my time.
 * Dr. Zack: *regaining his breath.*
 * Captain Dark Shell: There you go. A little gift for you to remember me. *steps away*
 * Dr. Zack: My base!
 * Marco: Any sight of Dark Shell?
 * Lisa: Negative.
 * Kyoji: *carrying Sakura on his back* I don't see him either.
 * Green Shadow: And I hope we find him soon.
 * Red Fork: Echo Creek has never been in worse conditions.
 * Blue Ocean: Uh... Red Fork. It's not only Echo Creek.
 * Red Fork: What do you mean?
 * Blue Ocean: According to the information I'm getting, Captain Dark Shell also attacked several dimensions. Equestria, Eitbit, Mewni, the Forest of Confusia, the Food Dimension, and several more.. They were all devastated by Captain Dark Shell.
 * Red Fork: Equestria!? What happened to Twilight?
 * Blue Ocean: I don't know, but I hope she and the others are ok.
 * Alice: Forest of Confusia... that means that Team Hybrids must be in danger too!
 * Jelo: Either that or worse...they could've ended up like Sakura. Turns out this crab is not to be underestimated.
 * Starcade: Eitbit too?
 * Test Subject Blue: The other Retro Rebels, I hope they're okay...
 * Ace: Quick Pea?
 * Quick Pea: We need help!
 * Ace: Where are your friends?
 * Quick Pea: That's what I came to tell you! Captain Dark Shell invaded your dojo, and my friends are trapped under the ruins of your dojo!
 * Ace: Captain Dark Shell destroyed the dojo?
 * Quick Pea: Yes! You have to help my friends!
 * Ace: Understood. Gang, I'll go help the children. You must go on and find Captain Dark Shell.
 * Blast: Got it. Good luck brother, be careful.
 * Ace: You too, Alex.
 * Jelo: Gang, we need to stick together on this one. No. Matter. What.
 * Green Shadow: That's right. Captain Dark Shell may have taken over most of the dimensions here, but we can't lose hope now!
 * Red Fork: You're right, together we can do anything!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yeah, togetherness is might, I mean friendship is magic! Or is it the other way around?
 * Jelo: Personally, "friendship is magic" is better than "togetherness is might". The latter one just brings Emmy vibes with it, and I don't like it. Hey, let's make that a catchphrase!
 * Blue Ocean: So, what exactly should we do? We have no idea where Captain Dark Shell is now, and his troops are devastating everything that's left of Echo Creek.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Maybe we can lure him with the amulet?
 * Jelo: Sounds good...let's try it. It's worth the risk.
 * Red Fork: Ok...
 * Blast: That doesn't look good...
 * Sean Sapphire: Come on, we still have to get past them!
 * Captain Red Shell: Charge!
 * Toby Topaz: Ah!
 * Amelia Amethyst: *protecting the gang with a forcefield* There's too many of them! What do we do?
 * Sean Sapphire: Keep fighting!
 * Red Ruby: Or let's just blow them up and get this over with!
 * Red Ruby: And I'm out of ideas. I thought this day would never come!
 * Toby Topaz: We're doomed! This is it then, I think...
 * Red Fork: Don't say that! We can beat them!
 * Red Fork: Ok, maybe not...
 * Blue Ocean: This is it! Good bye, cruel world!
 * Blue Ocean: What?
 * Tommy: Over there! *points in a certain direction*
 * Ink Splash: Need help?
 * Red Fork: Team Hybrids!
 * Blue Ocean: Dark Shadow, Black Gem?
 * Dark Shadow: That's not all.
 * Richard: Sprout Squad! You came!
 * Wendy: Did you think we'd miss this?
 * Blast: You came too?
 * Alice: How come you all came to help?
 * Iron Heart: We didn't plan this, but your friend is very persuasive.
 * Red Fork: Red Spoon!
 * Red Spoon: Don't despair, we've got you covered.
 * Florette: The shadow crabs invaded our dimension as well.
 * Red Spoon: Stay together at all times, and don't let your guards down!
 * Lisa: I predict another set of allies will be helping us. Or not. There is a 8% chance of error.
 * Kyoji: Tsunami?
 * Tsunami: I came as soon as we could, figuring you need help.
 * Kyoji: Yes, we do. Thanks for coming to help, Tsunami.
 * Tsunami: No problem, Kyoji.
 * Akasha: Mother, it's you!
 * Takeshi: Mother!
 * Tsunami: Long time no see, my darlings. But I didn't come alone.
 * Akasha: You didn't? I thought you left that team of jerks the last time we met.
 * Tsunami: I did, but they have been attacked too. Blizzard and I have one common enemy in our hands, so we formed a temporary alliance.
 * Blizzard: Yes, we came to help you but just this once.
 * Earthquake: Captain Dark Shell took over our cave!
 * Tornado: No worries, we'll help you guys out.
 * Wildfire: We'll burn these crabs down!
 * Thunderstorm: We were reluctant to help, but after Tsunami saw what Captain Dark Shell and his army did to our cave, she decided to help us get it back.
 * Blizzard: Well, she had better hold up her end of the deal!
 * Tsunami: Well, what can I say? Even if I left my old team, I couldn't bear to leave them in the lurch. Don't worry, Locked Room Gang, we got this covered. *charges up powerful water blasts*
 * Night Cap: You didn't think we'd miss this, did you?
 * Red Fork: What took you so long?
 * Sting: Spark was playing a videogame, and we had to wait for him to finish a level.
 * Spark: In my defense, it was only a few minutes.
 * Alice: Well, at least your here.
 * Alice: Dr. Sanders? Allison?
 * Dr. Sanders: It's going to take more than an apocalyptic crab attack to separate our family!
 * Allison: We're here to help, cousin!
 * Tommy: Cool!
 * Test Subject Blue: Guys, look!
 * Starcade: The Retro Rebels!
 * Smokey Bacon: Starcade?
 * Owl: But...we heard you were trapped in that Shadow Dimension! Are you alright?
 * Starcade: Yes, but that's besides the point. That doesn't matter, we have these crabs to deal with.
 * Viking: Leave it to us, Starcade! We'll take them down! Right, Retro Rebels?
 * Licorice: Um...
 * Smokey Bacon: Of course, Viking!
 * Owl: We'll fight by your side!
 * Fat Cat: Meow!
 * Warlock: Precisely.
 * Hot Air: *appears with a new balloon* Let's do this.
 * Test Subject Blue: Hot Air, where did you get that balloon?
 * Hot Air: Oh, it's a long story. I'll tell you later.
 * Test Subject Blue: Hmm...*glares at Hot Air*
 * Pink Angel: Good to see you guys! Let's go fight those crabs together!
 * Starcade: *smiles* That's the spirit, Retro Rebels.
 * Red Fork: Wow...
 * Blast: I never realized just how many allies we've made over time.
 * Alice: It's really nice to see just how many people we have on our side.
 * Jelo: Well, gang, what are we waiting for? Let's beat these crab soldiers up!
 * Green Shadow: Everyone, it's time to fight the crab soldiers, as one!

A group of crabs is smashed by a huge hoof. ''A few shadow crab soldiers are coming from behind to attack Ink Splash. However, Night Cap appears with a smoke bomb, and defeats the those shadow crabs.'' ''Pepper floats around the shadow crabs, attacking them contiously. As one of them is about to stab her with a sword, she becomes intangible, and the sword goes right through her as if she wasn't there.'' Suddenly, the shadow crab is turned into a Puff-Shroom. ''Huoshan shoots continous fire blasts at the shadow crabs. He then sees Scorch doing the same thing.'' ''Paula Python rolls herself around several shadow crabs, squeezing them. As a few shadow crabs come to attack her, Dark Shadow blasts them away.'' ''Boom comes flying in one direction, and Boulder comes running from the other direction. Together, they smash the shadow crabs between them.'' Alice sees that Allison is being surrounded by several shadow crab soldiers. ''Allison begins dancing ballet, which confuses the shadow crabs. However, she soon begins to use her ballet moves as attacks, kicking the shadow crabs while dodging their attacks gracefully. When Alice arrives where Allison is, she sees that Allison already took out the shadow crab soldiers that were surrounding her.'' Suddenly, Sakura wakes up from her unconsciousness, only to find herself witnessing the fight take place. ''Suddenly, Kyoji sees Tsunami being surrounded by a few shadow crabs. Tsunami is about to use her water powers, but one of the shadow crabs grabs her limbs before she can do so.'' At the same time, a few shadow crabs surround both Kyoji and Sakura. While Kyoji holds off the shadow crabs, Sakura teleports to Tsunami, before showering explosive light blasts on the shadow crabs, quickly taking them down. ''Suddenly, both Sakura and Tsunami see Kyoji being blasted into a tree, dropping the Sword of Elementia. As Kyoji regains his posture, he finds himself surrounded from all sides. He tries to grab his sword, only for it to be seized by one of the shadow crabs. Sakura and Tsunami charge towards the shadow crabs as one, but before they can do anything, Blizzard shows up and casts an ice shockwave, freezing all of the shadow crabs completely.'' ''Blizzard points to a few shadow crabs approaching towards Sakura. Sasuke shows up and tosses water bombs at the shadow crabs, knocking them out.'' ''While the others are distracted by Sasuke and Sakura interacting, more shadow crabs approach them from behind attempting to execute a sneak attack. Akasha and Takeshi show up and perform a fire and electricity combo, taking out the shadow crabs before they can do anything.'' ''Kyoji and the other elemental ninjas continue fighting the other shadow crabs. Meanwhile, Captain Snap Jaws roars at a few shadow crabs, blowing them away and sending them flying into a wall. Assorted Cookie fights a few shadow crabs approaching Captain Snap Jaws from behind, using his martial arts to defeat them.'' ''Red Ruby throws several dynamite sticks at the shadow crabs, blowing them up. As a few more shadow crabs are about to attack him, Hot Air throws his bombs from high up in the air, blowing them up as well.'' ''Tornado attempts to use her love charm to entice the shadow crabs approaching her.  However, it fails as one of the shadow crabs directly attacks her. Thunderstorm shows up, casting lightning bolts at the shadow crabs, electrocuting them.'' ''Tornado and Thunderstorm continue fighting the shadow crabs. Viking is then seen clobbering a number of shadow crabs with his battle hammer, even knocking one high into the air. As Viking finds himself surrounded, helpless, an earthquake is created, causing the shadow crabs to trip and fall. Earthquake then shows up to knock all of the shadow crabs into a wall with a single punch.'' ''Viking and Earthquake continue fighting the shadow crabs. Amelia Amethyst is then seen shooting magic blasts at the shadow crabs that do little damage. After realizing that her wand is at full power, Amelia Amethyst casts a black hole and sucks the shadow crabs inside, which temporarily leaves Amelia Amethyst vulnerable. As she finds herself being surrounded by more shadow crabs, Warlock appears out of nowhere and levitates the shadow crabs with his magic, tossing them into a wall.  Amelia Amethyst and Warlock continue fighting the shadow crabs. As the gang continues fighting the shadow crabs, the shadow crabs are quickly dwindling in numbers.'' ''The gang and their allies continue fighting the shadow crabs. Jaiden shoots ice blasts at the shadow crabs, but she is overwhelmed by the large number of crabs. Blast comes to support her, but there's still to many crabs. However, Boom bursts through the shadow crabs with a powerful dash attack.'' ''Blast and Boom fly around a large amount of shadow crabs, and together create a powerful tornado that sucks up many shadow crabs. Both superpowered teens begin to punch the crabs quickly, defeating many of them.'' Black Gem flies above some shadow crabs, kicking them from above. ''One shadow crab tosses a spear at her, injuring one of her wings, and causing her to fall. She then gets nervous as she sees several shadow crab soldiers surrounding her, ready to defeat her. However, before they can put a sword on her, Captain Red SHell breaks in, and fights the shadow crabs, defeating several of them with his Sword of Crabbagnon.'' Meanwhile, Green Tea Cookie comes in his black armor, pretending to be "The Dark Knight". The Shadow crabs walk towards him, ready to attack. ''Pepper enters Green Tea Cookie's body, and is now possessing him. Suddenly, the shadow crabs see as the black armor begins to float, and move very strangely. They begin to get frightened, and step back a couple of steps.'' ''The shadow crabs yell in unison and run away from the black armor. Pepper exits Green Tea Cookie's body, and laughs at the shadow crabs that ran away.'' ''Meanwhile, a shadow crab steals a bunch of pies and tosses them at Red Spoon. Red Spoon just smiles, and uses his magic to make a parasprite appear. The parasprite devours all the pies in one bite. Then, it suddenly spits out another parasprite. Red Spoon quickly makes both parasprites disappear before they multiply themselves again. ''
 * Ink Splash: Don't dare get near the gang!
 * Ink Splash: Thanks, Night Cap.
 * Night Cap: No problem.
 * Shadow Crab #24: Oh...
 * Wendy: There you go. Now you're adorable!
 * Scorch: You'll all be burnt by the flames of justice! Fire!
 * Huoshan: Another fellow fire ninja, I see?
 * Scorch: Fire! I'm not a ninja, but I've got the flames of justice burning inside me! Fire!
 * Huoshan: Interesting indeed.
 * Paula Python: Not bad.
 * Dark Shadow: I'm the coolest.
 * Boom: Not bad.
 * Boulder: That was awesome!
 * Alice: Allison, look out!
 * Allison: Alright, let's dance!
 * Alice: Whoa...
 * Allison: Did you see that?
 * Alice: Yeah.
 * Red Fork: Focus, there's many more shadow crabs where those came from!
 * Sakura: Wait, what's happening?!
 * Kyoji: Sakura, you're awake.
 * Sakura: Kyoji? What's going on? And where's Captain Dark Shell?
 * Kyoji: We're still looking for him. But for now, we're stopping his forces. And...
 * Sakura: No...I've failed...I promised the Light Sensei to protect the world from evil and I can't believe I got myself defeated by that crab! I'm a failure now...
 * Kyoji: Don't give up, Sakura! We still have time to stop Captain Dark Shell, the battle isn't over yet.
 * Kyoji: Akasha's mother is in trouble!
 * Sakura: What? Akasha's mother is here?
 * Sakura: What do we do, Kyoji?
 * Kyoji: Go help Akasha's mother. I'll hold off the shadow crabs. Remember, you're not a failure and we can do this together.
 * Sakura: Help Akasha's mother? Alright, I hope I can still do that.
 * Kyoji: *blocking the shadow crabs' attacks with his sword* Go, Sakura! There's no time!
 * Sakura: Okay, I'll do it!
 * Tsunami: You saved me. Thank you, stranger.
 * Sakura: You're welcome. And please, call me Sakura. I'm Kyoji's younger sister.
 * Tsunami: I can't believe it, I never knew Kyoji had a sister the whole time! It's a pleasure meeting you.
 * Sakura: Same here. And you are?
 * Tsunami: Tsunami. But there's no time. A war is happening right before our eyes, we must act fast.
 * Tsunami: Blizzard?
 * Blizzard: Well, if you promised to help us get our cave back, I have to do my part to help too.
 * Tsunami: I'm glad we're able to understand each other.
 * Blizzard: Incoming!
 * Sasuke: There's a lot of those crabs! Waterver is happening here surely is dangerous. You alright, Sakura?
 * Sakura: Yes. Thanks for saving me.
 * Sasuke: Anything for you, my girl.
 * Akasha: Guys, stop standing there doing nothing!
 * Takeshi: Akasha's right. We must keep fighting!
 * Kyoji: You're right. Sorry about that. Fellow ninjas, it's time we win this war!
 * Captain Snap Jaws: Not bad, Assorted Cookie.
 * Assorted Cookie: My pleasure to help, m'lady.
 * Red Ruby: Not bad. At least there's one person who likes exploding stuff like I do.
 * Hot Air: Viva la explosions!
 * Tornado: Aw, you cute little crabs. Are you looking for a pretty damsel? Look no further, here I am!
 * Thunderstorm: Tornado, stop fooling around!
 * Tornado: What? No, I'm trying to help!
 * Thunderstorm: And love is your method? Love doesn't win all wars, so stop acting like you're the prettiest girl around! That's not going to help here.
 * Tornado: Fine. I guess I have to do it the old-fashioned way then.
 * Thunderstorm: That's more like it.
 * Viking: You make a great warrior, earth ninja.
 * Earthquake: You're welcome. And call me Earthquake.
 * Viking: No kidding, you really made quite an earthquake. What do you say we continue smashing these fools?
 * Earthquake: Sure!
 * Warlock: I see your magic skills have improved after all this time, Amelia.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Teacher?
 * Warlock: Yes, I remembered that you're one of the weaker students back in magic school about 300 years ago. Seeing that you're able to cast an advanced spell without flaw, I'm impressed on how well you have improved.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Thanks, teacher.
 * Warlock: And I hope you can continue to improve. I remember the times when I had to give you and Corolla private lessons.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Oh, about Corolla...
 * Warlock: What's the matter?
 * Amelia Amethyst: N-N-Nothing...it's a long story.
 * Warlock: I see that you must have some personal issues with Corolla. In that case, I won't interfere. Now where were we?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Shadow crabs! *points to more shadow crabs approaching them*
 * Warlock: Yes, of course. Amelia, are you ready to show me what you've got after all these years?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Why, of course, teacher!
 * Warlock: Good. Let the battle commence.
 * Starcade: We're doing great! Keep it up, Retro Rebels!
 * Green Shadow: Yes. It's nice to see how many allies we've made through the many adventures we have done.
 * Kyoji: *blocking a shadow crab's sword attack* And we can't give up now. We must keep up the momentum.
 * Assorted Cookie: Agreed. This war should end anytime soon.
 * Green Shadow: Now let's continue fighting!
 * Boom: Ice is nice, but you'll need more than that to get through this.
 * Blast: Yeah... I guess I should be using my superpowers too. Thanks for the save.
 * Boom: No problem.
 * Jaiden: Let's get back to work, boys.
 * Boom & Blast: Yeah!
 * Electra: Boom is pretty cool, don't you think?
 * Jaiden: Sure. Blast is great too, right?
 * Electra: Yeah, sure.
 * Black Gem: Is that all you've got?
 * Black Gem: Wow, you're a real gentlemen when you want to, aren't you?
 * Captain Red Shell: I am a knight of the seas. As such, I follow a strict code of chivalry.
 * Black Gem: Well, then maybe you're not so rude after all. Will you let me go visit the treasure room with you?
 * Captain Red Shell: Never!
 * Black Gem: *rolls her eyes* It was nice while it lasted. Still, it was nice to see your gentle side for a moment. *winks*
 * Captain Red Shell: What? Don't be gettting yourself any ideas!
 * Black Gem: No, of course not. *giggles* But you'd better pay attention. There's a bunch of shadow crabs coming your way. *flies away*
 * Captain Red Shell: What? *looks behind him* Oh, tartar sauce...
 * Green Tea Cookie: Fear me, crustaceans, for I am the Dark Knight!
 * Green Tea Cookie: Wait, no! Go away! You must fear me!
 * Pepper: *appears behind him* You're not doing it right, pal.
 * Green Tea Cookie: *high-pitched yell*
 * Pepper: *giggles* Let me try it.
 * Green Tea Cookie: But... wait!
 * Green Tea Cookie (possessed by Pepper): *creepy voice* Leave now, or I shall eat your souls!
 * Pepper: See? That's how it's done!
 * Green Tea Cookie: *feeling exhausted and a bit dizzy* Ok, just please, promise me you'll never do that again.
 * Pepper: Deal!

''Meanwhile, Blue Ocean finds himself surrounded by dozens of shadow crabs. He then looks at Paula Python.'' ''Paula Python rounds up several of Blue Ocean's friends, in order to intimidate the shadow crabs. Meanwhile, Blue Ocean puts on some music.''
 * Blue Ocean: You know what to do, right?
 * Paula Python: Sure thing!

♪Running hard, backs to the wall♪

♪Facing stride, terror fills your life♪

♪They push you back, but you got the power♪

♪Dig deep for that fire, yeah, everything will♪

♪Suffice resistance, frustration♪

♪Leave it all behind♪

♪Giving up right now would be a crime!♪

♪Fury Heart! Gotta find the answers!♪

♪Fury Heart! You've got that fire of your desire!♪

''The shadow crabs are ready to attack anyway, but they see how Blue Ocean's friends are just as ready as them to fight.  Red Fork stands at the front of the group. The shadow crabs point their swords at him, but Red Fork begins to shine his magic horn. He stands tall, and tosses a powerful magic blast at the shadow crabs, defeating them all in one blow.'' Meanwhile, the shadow crabs charge towards Alice & Blast. Blast sings:
 * Blue Ocean: Red Fork! Your cue!
 * Red Fork: Got it!
 * Blue Ocean: Never fails. *does a hoofbump with Red Fork*
 * Alice: What now, Blast?
 * Blast: I know what to do.
 * Alcie: What to do?
 * Blast: There's only one plant we can call now.
 * Alice: Which plant?

♪Thoroughly three-headed♪

''Wendy appears from the bushes in a terrifying matter, before beginning to cast different spells at the shadow crabs. She turns one into a puff-shroom, she shrinks another one, and makes another fall asleep.'' ''Blade finds himself surrounded by several shadow crabs. However, he doesn't fear at all. He performs a large jump, and shoots several cutting blades at the shadow crabs. The shadow crabs try to attack Blade, but he moves around way too fast for them. Blade shoots several more cutting blades, and soon cuts his way through the attackers. Boulder's jaw drops as he sees this.'' ''A skateboarding girl passes through and goes quickly around the shadow crabs, making them dizzy, as well as running over some of them. It's Jackie Lynn Thomas!'' Marco karate-kicks the shadow crabs that were dizzy. As the battle goes on, the gang sees that there's less shadow crabs each time. The Retro Rebels see more shadow crabs approaching them. ''Pink Angel picks up Licorice, while Owl picks up Smokey Bacon. While Pink Angel and Owl fly around the shadow crabs, Licorice and Smokey Bacon fire ice beams from their mouths, freezing the shadow crabs. Starcade sees a few more shadow crabs ready to deflect the ice attacks, before doing a 360 degree flip over them and landing behind them. She quickly knocks the shadow crabs down with her melee attacks, allowing Licorice and Smokey Bacon to freeze them.'' Meanwhile, Kyoji and the other elemental ninjas have defeated all the shadow crabs around them, only for more to appear. Tsunami sees a few shadow crabs behind Takeshi, before creating a geyser that sends the shadow crabs flying into the ocean. ''Kyoji sees a shadow crab throw his spear at Tsunami. He leaps over Tsunami and grabs the spear, before throwing it back at the shadow crab, hurting him.  Kyoji notices a mysterious being glaring at him from the bushes.'' As soon as Kyoji looks into the eyes of the mysterious being, the latter runs away into the forest, leaving behind a blade of grass. While the rest of the elemental ninjas continue fighting the shadow crabs, Kyoji approaches the blade of grass and picks it up, inspecting it. ''Kyoji sheds a tear, before keeping the blade of grass in one of his pockets. He wipes that tear away, before continuing to fight the shadow crabs. Meanwhile, the gemstones find themselves surrounded by the shadow crabs, who are ready to attack.'' Diana Diamond takes out the Rainbow Orb, only for one of the shadow crabs to snatch it. ''One of the shadow crabs begin attacking Emma Emerald, knocking her out. Toby Topaz sees that and becomes angry.'' ''Toby Topaz transforms into an electric ball, before zipping around the shadow crabs, quickly attacking them at the speed of light. He finishes them off with a powerful electric shockwave and heals Emma Emerald, before reverting back to his old self.'' ''The gemstones proceed to help the others out, by transforming into the Legendary Rainbow Gem. The Legendary Rainbow Gem flies around Echo Creek, helping his allies take down the shadow crabs that are about to kill them. He manages to take out most of the shadow crabs, but not all of them, before getting exhausted and splitting.'' Sean Sapphire points to a massive number of shadow crabs coming from one side of Echo Creek all at once, ready to attack the gang and their allies. Diana Diamond climbs the nearest boulder, before creating a megaphone out of thin air and using it to inform the gang about the massive number of shadow crabs approaching them. ''Red Fork uses the elements of Harmony to transform into Sun Fork. In this form, he zips at the speed of light, and with s series of powerful magic blasts, he finishes off the remaining shadow crab soldiers. He then returns to his normal form.'' Amelia Amethyst shines a beam of light to locate Captain Dark Shell. ''The gang heads towards the direction where Captain Dark Shell is. Meanwhile, Captain Dark Shell is on his throne made of black crystals, enjoying as he sees all the destruction he has unleashed.'' However, he is soon interrupted by Fluttershy, who comes flying towards him, looking nervous. ''Suddenly, the ground has a checker board pattern. The ruins begin floating around aimlessly, and Captain Dark Shell is suddenly chained up. A cloud of cotton candy raind chocolate milk nearby Fluttershy. In the puddle of chocolate milk, Captain Dark Shell can see a reflection of Discord.'' Discord comes out of the reflection, revealing that it's really him. Discord snaps his fingers, making a portal to the Shadow Dimension appear right behind Captain Dark Shell. ''Captain Dark Shell lifts his sword into the air, and concentrates all his power. Suddenly, everything around them turns much darker. Discord suddenly falls to the ground, feeling an unsufferable pain.'' Discord tries to force Captain Dark Shell into the Shadow Dimension, but he's in too much pain to use his powers correctly. ''Discord undoes all of the chaos around them, included the shadow portal. He then makes a funny pose, and turns himself back into stone.'' ''Captain Dark Shell levitates Fluttershy towards him, and begins to use his power to torture Fluttershy. The gang arrives just in time to see what Captain Dark Shell is doing to poor Fluttershy.'' Red Fork tries to ram into Captain Dark Shell, but Captain Dark Shell teleports away, and shoots a shadow blast at Red Fork, knocking him back several feet. Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle appears with Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. ''Twilight shoots a powerful magic blast at Captain Dark Shell. Powerful enough to make him drop Fluttershy and deal a bit of damage to him. Red Fork catches Fluttershy on his back.'' Captain Dark Shell lifts his sword up in the air, and begins to recite an ancient spell. ''The gang watches in horror as they see ghosts appear in front of them. They see the ghosts of Shogo the Warlord, The Shadow Sensei, Frosty and Fake Fork.''
 * Blast: Not bad.
 * Wendy: Thanks.
 * Boulder: When did you learn to fight like that?
 * Blade: Ace taught me. Pretty cool huh?
 * Boulder: Yeah.
 * Marco: Jackie?
 * Jackie: Hey, Marco!
 * Marco: What are you doing here?
 * Jackie: I'm here to help you guys. There's no way I'm gonna let that shadow crab take over our town.
 * Marco: Okay then! Oh, and thanks, by the way.
 * Jelo: Keep going, guys! There's not many crabs left!
 * Starcade: More incoming! Pink Angel, Owl, do your thing!
 * Pink Angel: Roger that!
 * Owl: Let's do it!
 * Licorice: Are you sure this is a good idea?
 * Smokey Bacon: Come on, babe, it'll be fine!
 * Licorice: Okay. If you say so.
 * Licorice: Oh, I guess that's not so bad.
 * Smokey Bacon: See? I told you! Now come on, let's go fight some more crabs!
 * Takeshi: We're doing great, Kyoji!
 * Tsunami: Takeshi, focus!
 * Takeshi: But Mother, I'm trying to celebrate...
 * Kyoji: Your mother is right, Takeshi. It's too early for a celebration. We can do that after the battle.
 * Tsunami: These shadow crabs...they have been reminding me of my terrible husband. Their presence sends me memories that bring nothing but rage. I must...
 * Kyoji: Tsunami, look out!
 * Kyoji: There, that takes care of it. Huh?
 * Kyoji: What?
 * Kyoji: What...that's not possible...
 * Akasha: What was that, Kyoji? What did you see?
 * Kyoji: Nothing.
 * Akasha: Are you sure?
 * Kyoji: Yes, I'm sure it's nothing. Focus on the shadow crabs, that's more important. We have to save the world from Captain Dark Shell, don't forget that.
 * Akasha: *uneasy* Okay then...
 * Kyoji: This blade of grass...it's a distinctive green like no other blades of grass. And it's rather familiar...but if that guy I saw in the bushes earlier was the one who dropped it...
 * Toby Topaz: We're surrounded on all sides!
 * Gary Garnet: That's the meaning of surrounded.
 * Toby Topaz: Oh no...this is it. If we didn't die in the Shadow Dimension, we'll surely die here!
 * Amelia Amethyst: What do we do?
 * Diana Diamond: There is only one way out of this. We have to do it.
 * Amelia Amethyst: You mean, the thing?
 * Diana Diamond: Yes, the thing.
 * Diana Diamond: Hey!
 * Red Ruby: You give that back!
 * Sean Sapphire: Red, calm down. Do you want to start another Snow-Bot-pocalypse?
 * Red Ruby: What? No, don't you remind me of that time!
 * Gary Garnet: Well, to be honest, I didn't mind. Losing Snow-Bot wasn't as painful as losing Spandroid.
 * Red Ruby: I mean...I know I have been reckless but...
 * Sean Sapphire: On second thought, maybe it is a good idea to be reckless now. Imagine what the shadow crabs might do with our orb!
 * Amelia Amethyst: What? Oh no!
 * Red Ruby: But the last time I was reckless...
 * Toby Topaz: *charging up electricity, while putting his hand on Red Ruby's shoulder* It's okay, Red. Let me do the recklessness today.
 * Red Ruby: What? You?
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah!
 * Red Ruby: Wha-?
 * Toby Topaz: You're welcome.
 * Red Ruby: But...
 * Diana Diamond: *takes back her Rainbow Orb* Good job, Toby. And you too, Red.
 * Red Ruby: *blushes* But what did I do?
 * Diana Diamond: Not being reckless.
 * Red Ruby: Oh.
 * Sean Sapphire: At least this didn't end up like that Snow-Bot-pocalypse.
 * Diana Diamond: Now what do you say we help the others?
 * Everyone else: Yes!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Woo! Rough ride.
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah, that was real rough all right.
 * Emma Emerald: *barfs*
 * Red Ruby: And I thought we took them all down! How do these things keep coming?
 * Sean Sapphire: I don't know either, but more are incoming!
 * Sean Sapphire: That's way more than I can fight. We have to tell the gang!
 * Diana Diamond: I'll do it.
 * Diana Diamond: Everyone, it appears that Captain Dark Shell is throwing everything he's got at us! Look out, there's many more shadow crabs incoming from the coast! We must fight them all as a gang and protect Echo Creek!
 * Luna: Time for a final riff! Everyone, prepare yourselves!
 * Red Fork: Alright, time for the big finale!
 * Red Fork: There we go!
 * Blue Ocean: Why didn't you guys use the Rainbow Gem and Sun Fork from the beginning?
 * Red Fork: Well, it's not like I can spam Sun Fork all the time. I can only use that ability sporadically.
 * Alice: Makes sense.
 * Jelo: Well, that's it. We did it!
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes, but we're far from over. Captain Dark Shell is still in Echo Creek. However, based on the direction those shadow crabs were coming from, I think we can find Captain Dark Shell's current location.
 * Blast: Great!
 * Boom: Then let's go finish the job!
 * Star: WOOHOO! Let's go!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Hmm...let me see if I can locate him.
 * Amelia Amethyst: I think I know where he is!
 * Red Fork: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
 * Captain Dark Shell: This is perfect. The entire multi-verseis under my control!
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's this? You have come back for more?
 * Fluttershy: I... uh.. *nervous* I've got the person that will stop you.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Is that so? Tell me, tiny pony, who could possibly pose a threat to a powerful ancient warrior as I am? I've taken control of the multi-verse! I've defeated the warriors of each dimension. Who could possibly have a chance against me?
 * Fluttershy: Him.
 * Captain Dark Shell: You?
 * Discord: That's right! Now, time to get moving. I'll have a party of chaos here soon, and I can't have you and your silly crustaceans roaming around the place.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Discord, don't you realize what you're doing? I'm the one who freed you in the first place!
 * Fluttershy: What?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Remember the first time Discord encountered the gang? He was freed because of my dark energy. You see, when Akasha removed the amulet from its location, it allowed me to escape temporarily, and spread my dark energy around the multi-verse. However, it wasn't much, so I had to choose a powerful target to use it on. And what better choice than to free the master of chaos himself?
 * Fluttershy: That explains why Twilight couldn't understand how Discord freed himself.
 * Captain Dark Shell: You owe me big, Discord. If it weren't for me, you'd still be passing century after century locked in stone. No one would remember you anymore. I'm who made you relevant again!
 * Discord: Bla, bla, bla. Do you think I'm afraid? You can't even make a scratch on me! *laughs at Captain Dark Shell*
 * Captain Dark Shell: You'll regret this.
 * Discord: *sarcasm* Oh, look just how scared I am!
 * Discord: That's your stop, Captain Dark Shell. Good night!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It's still daytime.
 * Discord: *makes the sun set and the moon rise* No it isn't.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ok, you asked for it.
 * Discord: Aagh! What is this!?
 * Captain Dark Shell: I warned you you'd regret it. This is the pain shadow ninjas feel when they're tortured by their masters.
 * Discord. But I'm not a shadow ninja!
 * Captain Dark Shell: True, but that's one of the secrets of the Shadow Arts. After finding more secret scrolls in the secret areas of the Shadow Dojo, I found one that taught me how to make anyone suffer this kind of pain, with only the power of my own mind. It requires a very high level of mastery of the Shadow Arts, but as you see, that's no problem for me.
 * Discord: Aagh! Make it stop!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I'll make it stop with two conditions. One, you undo all of your chaotic nonsense. And second, you go back to your stone prison.
 * Discord: Ok, ok!
 * Fluttershy: Discord, no!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I'll admit, you're smarter than I thought. Discord is indeed more powerful than me. If it had been a fair battle, he would've completely destroyed me. But as you know, I don't like playing fair.
 * Fluttershy: But... but...
 * Captain Dark Shell: Let's have a little fun, shall we?
 * Akasha: Captain Dark Shell, there you are!
 * Kyoji: Let the pony go, captain. It's over. *draws his sword and points it at Captain Dark Shell*
 * Alice: He's torturing poor Fluttershy!
 * Red Fork: That's it! I've had enough. You can send us to the Shadow Dimension, you can destroy buildings, and take over dimensions, but if there's one thing I won't stand, it's for you to torture delicate and innocent ponies like Fluttershy!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, you want to save your poor little friend? I don't know if it's cute or simply pathetic. You stand no chance against me!
 * Twilight Sparkle: We won't let you hurt our friend!
 * Red Fork: Are you ok, Fluttershy?
 * Fluttershy: *with tears in her eyes, trying to recover from the pain she experienced* No... but thanks for saving me.
 * Rainbow Dash: I've seen nasty villains before, but torturing Fluttershy just for fun? That's just being heartless!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Well, all those nasty villains of yours failed to stop me. It's going to be your turn to fail, just like the incompetent fools you are.
 * Dark Shadow: We'll see who's the fool after I strip your black heart out of your dead chest, you spawn of pure evil!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Your threats are almost as assuming as your stubbornness. I have to admit you're persistent though. Even though I've already took over the Multiverse!
 * Dark Shadow: We'll break you down to pieces, blackhearted invertebrate!
 * Boom: I'll destroy everything you care for and make you watch!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You really want to fight again? If that's the case, I have a few old friends that have a few matters to fix with you guys.
 * Captain Dark Shell: I call to you, oh those who have fallen before, to come and fight one time more! Wake up from your eternal rest, and be my slaves as I request!
 * Green Shadow: What's this? Ghosts?
 * Kyoji: No...Shogo's spirit is here?
 * Akasha: The Shadow Sensei?!
 * Tsunami: That snowman looks rather familiar...isn't that one of Blizzard's creations?
 * Starcade: Fake Fork?
 * Red Ruby: Send out everything you got, you dark crustacean! I don't care, we'll blow them all up!
 * Captain Dark Shell: If I did that, you'd be dead in under a minute. And what's the fun in killing you so fast? I'd rather watch you suffer through an entire process of pain and agony to the hands of my new slaves.
 * Fake Fork: You think I've forgotten what you did to me in the space base? Well, I haven't! Prepare to be dead, gang!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Ghosts, kill them. *teleports away*
 * Frosty: At last, I'm free! Free from Blizzard's control that is, now I'm an individual snowman with an individual mindset!
 * Shogo: Do you think this is the end for me? The Orb will never be erased from existence, it will only come back time to time.
 * Akasha: As shards, that is! Don't you think for one second I've forgotten what you did to Mother and Takeshi!
 * Shogo: Oh, sweet little Akasha. I remember how loyal you used to be, it's a shame you're not anymore, isn't it?
 * Akasha: I don't care!
 * Shogo: Well, it doesn't matter now. I'm not alone, I have friends.
 * Shadow Sensei: Long time no see, Akasha. The Shadow Sensei will never forget your actions against him!
 * Akasha: I DON'T CARE!
 * Bonk Choy: Do you speak in third person or something?
 * Shadow Sensei: The Shadow Sensei speaks exclusively in third person. He also kills exclusively in third person.
 * Bonk Choy: Wha-? So do you...
 * Shadow Sensei: Silence! The Shadow Sensei wants you dead, and so does his friends. Soon, darkness will return to its glory once again!
 * Akasha: NO! *bursts into flames*
 * Frosty: Let's get them!
 * Fake Fork: We'll smash you away!
 * Pepper: Ghosts? This is going to be an awesome fight!
 * Jelo: Gang, this won't be easy, but we can do it!
 * Red Fork: Fight!
