Dragoon Down

Team Dragoon walks into the Badnik Corps Barracks. They had just finished yet another adventure, and now needed to rest. Immediately, they are greeted by the sight of many Badnik Corps members talking to one another, as well as a small race in the background.
Alan: Things certainly have gotten lively since we had that spike in recruitment.
Srish: You’ve got that right. There’s more people here than ever before!
Silence: Doesn’t that feel… suspicious to you though?
Alan: What part?
Silence: The sudden spike in recruitment. It’s random and most certainly odd.
Dria: It’s certainly odd, but maybe our adventures have started to inspire some people.
Team Dragoon then enter their room. Once in there, they drop off all their stuff and finally sit down.
Alan: Now then, with one more adventure down, what’s do you think the next one will be?
Dria: Alan, we just got back! Talk to us about more adventures tomorrow.
Silence: How’s about some Team Sonic Racing?
Alan: Oh no, it’s too complicated, and you’re too good to have any fun with it!
Srish: Suit yourself.
As Silence starts up Team Sonic Racing, Alan gives in and grabs a controller. Team Dragoon then race each other until the sun starts to set.
Alan: Come on…
Silence Wins!
Alan: Again?!
Dria: Hey, you made second. That’s far better than we did.
Silence: We can’t play anymore anyways. We need some sleep.
Silence turns off the game, and everyone gets ready for bed.
Alan: Now can we talk about tomorrow’s adventure?
Dria shoves Alan, and Srish in turn pushes him into a pile of stuff.
Alan: No is not communicated through pain.
Dria: Only way to get it through your thick skull.
Dria then turns off the lights, and Team Dragoon finally go to sleep after Alan feels his way to his bed. In the middle of the night though, someone enters their room silently. The person then snuck over to Team Dragoon's Wisps, who were sleeping, and captured them using a special device. They then went to the sleeping Team Dragoon, and light a arm blade, aiming to slice Alan's head off. Unluckily for them, Silence woke up from a nightmare just in time and jumped on top of them.
Silence: I KNEW IT! WE WERE BEING TRICKED!
The rest of Team Dragoon immediately wakes up due to all the noise, Dria bonking her head on the bedframe due to the scare. The intruder threw Silence off and then grabbed the Silencer, shoving it into Silence's chest, but Silence grabbed it and shoved it back, making the intruder lose grip. In response though, they slice the Silencer in half with their weapon. Silence throws the two pieces aside, and as the intruder attempts to Spin Attack him, Srish counters with his own. With Team Dragoon up and ready to fight, the intruder lights both their arm blades. Alan attempts to respond with the Lightcutter Claws, but with no Wisp, they fail to activate.
???: What's wrong? No Wisp to use?
Alan: You! You're with the AAA! But how?!
???: No need for you to find out.
As the intruder attempts to cut down Alan, Dria beans them with her Eagle Wispon, swinging it around like a heavy backpack. The intruder responds by cutting off one of the blasters and into the main part, before Spin Attacking it out of Dria's hands. They follow up with a Spindash, which Dria dodges handily, and as the intruder bonks into a wall of Team Dragoon's room, Srish kicks them back into it thrice, before they jump out of the combo. Before they can strike back however, they notice Alan running out of the room, and give chase. Alan runs for the nearby panic button, and just as he hits it, the intruder catches up.
???: You'll die for that!
They attempt to cut Alan's head off with a scissor slice, but Alan ducks in time, and all they damage is the panic button behind him. Alan attempts to sweep kick them off their feet, but they Spin Attack over it. Before they can land though, Srish knocks them aside with his own Spin Attack. Team Dragoon regroups and corner the intruder. As they stand there, however, Alan is shot twice from behind, hitting his arm and his upper back. Alan collapses forwards, and Team Dragoon turns to see another AAA member exiting from a different team's room. The AAA member in question though is quickly sent over the railing by the team in the room. As the intruder attempts to attack the distracted Team Dragoon, they turn and counter, Silence punching them in the gut, and Srish and Dria grabbing them from behind and throwing them into the railing, denting it majorly.
???: I have to admit i didn't expect that. Either way, we got what we came for, team! It's time to evacuate!
The intruder jumps over the railing and dashes out of the Badnik Corps Barracks with many other AAA members. Team Dragoon not giving chase, instead grabbing Alan, the Silencer and Eagle Wispon's parts, and running to get Alan some help, then repair their Wispons.
Later...
Team Dragoon enter Jewel's office. Unlike normally though, the Badnik Corps Commander's there as well.
Jewel: Ah, Team Dragoon. I've got good news and bad news. The good is that Alan will be fine, and your Wispons will be repaired soon. The bad news is that Alan will be out of action for a few weeks in recovery, and we have no Wisps to power your Wispons.
BCC: There's more. We've found a note left behind by the AAA.
The Badnik Corps Commander passes it, and Dria reads it out.
Dria: "You want your Wisps back? Come face me in our secret base. Bring any heroes or authorities, and the Wisps die." 
Srish: There's coordinates at the bottom.
Silence: Who's the writer?
Dria: The note doesn't say.
BCC: Now that you know the situation, I ask that you take on this mission. This mission will be one of the riskiest yet, but you've shown yourselves to be a force to be reckoned with, and i believe even without your Wispons, you will prevail and save our Wisps.
Srish: I have a idea already. I just need some prep time and help from Team Sundown.
BCC: I'll inform them at the meeting. 
Jewel: I hate sending you out weakened, but it's our only option.
Dria: Don't worry, we can do this!
Team Dragoon and the Badnik Corps Commander head back to the barracks. Once there, the Commander informs everyone of what's going on.
BCC: As you likely all know, last night, we were attacked by the Anti Ailen Alliance, and all our Wisps were captured. I've looked into it, and it turns out the recent influx of recruits were all AAA sleeper agents. Due to the Restoration's policies, I can't easily raise standards, so until the crisis has quelled, i'm halting all recruitment.
Murmurs of suspicions confirmed erupt among the crowd.
BCC: That's not all. During the attack, multiple Badnik Corps members were injured, such as Alan Hamond of Team Dragoon and the entirety of Team Superheroes. Four members were killed as well.
At that, many Badnik Corps members began walking away.
Hammer: Hold it, what do you even think you're doing?
Badnik Corps Member 1: We're quitting, of course.
Badnik Corps Member 2: Yeah! I signed up to fight Badniks, not risk my life against some terrorists!
Team Elites Member: Are you hearing yourselves? Why would you have signed up if you didn't know the risks?!
BCC: Let them go. Badnik Corps members are allowed to quit at any time.
About half of the entire Badnik Corps walk out, including Team Crackers.
Team Fighters Member: I can't help but worry. This has to be part of their goal, right? Shatter the Badnik Corps through fear?
Team Egg Breakers Member: One thing's for sure, Eggman's gonna be feeling a lot less heat.
Srish: Can we get your attention please?!
Gust: Eh? 
Dria: This is pretty bad, we know, but we're gonna fix things! We're gonna get all the Wisps back, with help from Team Sundown!
Katona: But we don't have Wisps to power our weapons!
Dria: Not yet. I know a place where we can get some temporary weapons though. Come with us.
Team Sundown follow Team Dragoon, shelving all questions due to guessing it had everything to do with dimensions. Team Sundown is led into Team Dragoon's room, where Team Dragoon put on their Dimension Travel Suits, and bring Team Sundown with them into the Dimensional Hub, Hammer and Gust both holding onto Dria.
Gust: So why don't you tell us where we're going?
Dria: A special place, the oddest dimension you've ever seen, but one where weapons supposedly from across fiction lie. They'll have a selection of weapons there.
Thistle: Riiiiight... And they'll just give some to us?
Srish: That's the hope, but there is a way to persuade them.
Thankfully, Team Dragoon found their way to a entrance to the dimension without much hassle, and they entered, appearing in a castle structure bustling with activity.
Weapon Dimension Citizen 1: Hey, look, the people with the weapon gifts!
Weapon Dimension Citizen 2: Oh my gosh, i thought they had left for good!
Weapon Dimension Citizen 3: They've brought others though, and one's missing. Do you think they have weapons too?
Silence: People, people, we have come for one reason, and one reason only. We need to discuss something with your king.
Weapon Dimension Citizen 2: He'll be glad to have you.
Team Dragoon and Team Sundown are guided to the throne room of the weapon dimension. There, they find the king, initially discussing something with a messenger. As he notices Team Dragoon, he directs the messenger to wait in a side room, and stands up.
Weapon Dimension King: Team Dragoon, was it? What brings you back here? And why are there seven of you now?
Dria: Your majesty, we wish to borrow weapons. A enemy group has attacked us and disabled our usual weapons. One of ours was injured in the attack, so only three of us can fight for now, and as such, we've brought another group attacked by our enemy. 
Weapon Dimension King: We'll gladly allow you a weapon of your choosing, but we cannot offer any to your allies for nothing. 
Srish: I suspected as much, so here's my offer. Team Sundown, the other group we're with, have their own weapons. A sword Wispon, a assault rifle Wispon, a staff Wispon, and a grenade launcher Wispon. Allow them to borrow weapons, and we'll bring you their Wispons for replication.
Gust is about to argue, but Hammer shuts him up.
Gust: Hammer, they're OUR Wispons!
Hammer: I get that, but replication implies they'll make copies of our weapon, then let us leave. We'll still have our Wispons at the end of this, and if they're like this to us, we can be sure that not just anyone will be allowed to have our Wispons.
Katona: I personally think it's a honor.
Thistle: Shut up, Katona.
Weapon Dimension King: Hm, very well. The deal is accepted. I'll inform the smiths, you can go now.
Team Dragoon led Team Sundown to the grand weapon storage. As Team Sundown arrived, they were greeted by a innumerable amount of weapons hung on walls, ones from every corner of fiction you could think of, Guns, Swords, Explosives, Wands, those and many others were there. Team Sundown immediately spread out to find a weapon that suited them, while Team Dragoon ran to check for one specific weapon each.
Dria: There's the White Rapier!
Srish: And the... Yellow... Gauntlets? Hey, weren't those on the other side?
Weapon Dimension Smith 1: You know us, weapons have been changing hands while you were away.
Silence: So would that mean you have the Black Blade in the Replicas section?
Weapon Dimension Smith 1: Yeah, you know where to find it.
As Silence heads off to the replicas room, Gust gets one of the smiths to get him dual handheld blastersDual Slinger he found on the wall. Hammer, meanwhile, asks one of the smiths to get him down a special red sword.The Monado
Weapon Dimension Smith 2: I wouldn't touch that blade.
Hammer: What? Why?
Weapon Dimension Smith 2: When we first claimed it, we found that it would shock whoever held it. Moreover, it did absolutely nothing to our opponents. We could get you one of the models we made though. They don't have those side effects.
Hammer: Alright, do that.
As the smith gets Hammer the weapon, Thistle, finding no weapon in the main room he liked, asked about the replica room.
Thistle: What does the replica room even hold anyways?
Dria: Simple, exact replicas of weapons that these guys don't have.
Thistle: Why even separate the weapons?
Dria: Weapons in this dimension are precious to the people, treated a lot like we view art. They separate replicas from the originals because it's considered a crime to present a replica as the original.
Katona: But why? Couldn't they just design more?
Dria: The people of this dimension all have no creativity. They can replicate, but they can't create.
Katona: But... building requires creativity too.
Dria: I asked about that last time, and they said there are ancient blueprints that everyone uses to build castles and homes. No one knows who left them.
Thistle: Yeah, great, so it all boils down to "there are more weapons in the replica section." Got it.
Thistle enters the replica section to look for another weapon, and finds many. His eye is initially drawn to a winged rifle,Gunrod but when he asked about it, he immediately rejected it when he discovered it had healing abilities, instead choosing a nearby weapon, a rod which the smiths said used magic and fire blasts.Magic Rod As he finishes up, Katona enters.
Thistle: Katona? I'm sure there were multiple grenade launchers in the other room.
Katona: I'm looking for something different this time. 
Katona then sees a group of odd looking machine guns. After asking about them, he decided on one that fired icy blasts.Ice Puck Cannon With their weapons selected, Team Sundown met with Team Dragoon, who also had the weapons they wanted.
Srish: Have we got everything? I want to get going.
Thistle: Have we! I can't wait to test this!
Hammer activates his weapon, causing a blue beam of light to generate, before shutting it down.
Silence: Well, if we've got everything, let's get going!
Team Dragoon and Team Sundown leave, and Team Dragoon take them back to their dimension. As they arrive, they immediately head for the vehicle bay, finding the helicopter from their first mission as the top team waiting for them. Everyone boards, and the helicopter takes them to a bit outside the AAA base.
Hammer: Alright. Let's do this.
Teams Dragoon and Sundown run towards the main door, which was unguarded. Sensing a trap, Hammer gives Katona a barrier, and Katona busts in, firing his machine gun wildly. Around him were AAA members, who responded by scattering and then returning fire. Hammer kept the barrier up even as it sustained damage, but it was draining him. Just as he was about to collapse from the strain of maintaining the barrier, Katona took down the last foe. As the two teams entered, a voice rang out from speakers.
???: Hello again, Team Dragoon! Didn't expect you to bring new weapons along, but then again, what was i expecting. I notice you're short a member, now just why is that?
Dria: You, whoever you are, know full well!
???: You're right. After all, i was facing him when he was shot.
Srish: Who the heck do you think you are, being part of this madness?!
???: They call me Pretext now. You're here for your Wisps, aren't you? Well then, come and find them!
Hammer: Oy, Pretext! Why don't you come out here and face us yourself!
Pretext: Who- Ah right, you're that second-rate Team Dragoon.
Gust and Thistle: Second rate?! 
Gust: You'll die for that!
Pretext: We'll just see. For now, face the first wave!
Three AAA members with pistols and Wispon Shields arrive and open fire on the heroes. Srish responds by firing a explosive shot at the feet of the middle one, blowing aside and knocking out all three.
Pretext: What in the heck- No matter! There's more where that came from!
As the teams try to exit the entry room, another three AAA members arrive, but are taken out by Dria and Silence. As they head off, Hammer discovers a special feature in the sword he took, odd symbols. Hammer used some triggers to swap between them, but as he couldn't tell what exactly they did, he brushed it off. As they ran through the base, some more AAA members turned a corner and fired upon the team. Caught off guard, as the team did their best to dodge, Hammer activates a green symbol mostly on accident, making everyone's movements faster. Using the boost, Hammer and Silence closed the gap, taking out the attackers.
Gust: What the heck was that?
Hammer: I... don't know. The sword's currently on a green symbol, maybe it did this?
Katona: Try another one!
Hammer switches to a yellow symbol, but when he attempts to use it, the sword sputters for a second instead of doing anything.
Thistle: What, is that it?
Hammer: Probably not. Must need to recharge between specials.
With the mystery of the sword's abilities brushed off for a second, the team continues on, encountering intermittent patrols dealt with by whatever member attacked first, until they reached another large room, filled with AAA members, most atop catwalks and other high places. As the members opened fire upon the team, Gust responded by shooting his two guns at the enemies up above and keeping to the hallway, where most of the fire couldn't reach, as Katona, Silence and Srish shot other enemies. As the team was about to have dealt with all of the AAA members, a superpowered one closed the gap with high jumps and struck Srish, then flung him at Silence and Hammer, knocking them down. Dria went in for a stab, but was dodged and kicked aside, before the enemy grabbed and threw Gust behind him. As Thistle was about to test how his fire rod worked, Katona put his icy machine gun down and punched the foe, who then jumped over and behind him, before trying to throw him overhead. Unfortunately for the foe, he had underestimated Katona's weight, and Katona threw him instead. Thistle then pushed Katona aside, and just swung his fire rod at the enemy, sending out a magical blast which knocked the enemy out. 
Thistle: They said this was a FIRE rod!
Thistle then attempted to figure out how the heck the rod worked, doing whatever he could think of. After few seconds of tests, he managed to turn the rod into a flamethrower. As he messed around with it, Hammer noticed a AAA member coming at him with a huge gun. 
Hammer: Thistle! Incoming!
As Thistle reacted, Hammer rushed at him, activating the yellow symbol in hopes it would do something helpful. The AAA member fired the massive gun, the same kind Genocide had used against Team Dragoon, but instead of frying Thistle, it was blocked by a yellow shield bubble. Having only brought one shot, the AAA member dropped the gun, but before they could even draw their backup pistol, Hammer attacked them, taking them down.
Hammer: That makes two symbols i know.
Hammer swaps to a golden symbol, similar yet different to the shield one. The team then heads out of the room and into a hallway after freeing the Wisps held by the AAA's weapons, which quickly splits off into multiple different paths.
Thistle: Oh come on! Which way do we even go?! 
Dria: Any direction's a good start! 
The team turns left and runs down a small hallway. Just before they reach the end, a AAA member turns the corner. Before anyone else could handle it, Thistle dashes in and cuts down the member with a double axe summoned out of his fire rod. As he reaches the corner, he's suddenly caught by another member down the hall with another one of the megalaser cannons. Thistle freezes, but the member hesitates, as the one Thistle had just taken out was right beside him. Utilizing the delay, Srish fires a explosive shot from the Yellow Gauntlets that destroys the gun and knocks aside the AAA member. As the team runs past, a Wisp pops out of the gun and flees. Immediately, they're forced to choose between three directions. 
Srish: Uhh, left! 
The team goes left again, and find another open room. Inside isn't much, aside from multiple AAA members with melee Murder Wispons. A shutter closes behind the team, also happening to cut off Srish, Silence and Thistle. The AAA members immediately charge and attack Dria, Hammer and Gust. Hammer immediately goes for another sigil, but it's still on cooldown, so left with no other option, he attacks one of the AAA members with a sword shaped Murder Wispon. 
Hammer: You shouldn't have that! Only i can handle a Wispon Sword! 
The AAA member chooses not to respond, instead kick jumping off a pillar and a box stack before jump slashing Hammer. Hammer dodges, and responds with his Spin Attack Slash. At the same time, Gust had to deal with two members of the AAA, mainly by running and gunning, using his two blasters to attack the two. Seeing almost immediately that the shots weren't hitting, Gust jumped atop the boxes near the pillar with a wind boosted jump, then fired down at the two foes. Now that he was still, Gust actually started hitting the two, knocking one down. The other, armed with dual Murder Wispon daggers, tried to cut down the box at the bottom to collapse the stack. Gust used this opportunity, and struck the box he was on with heavy wind, blowing it off the stack and crushing the foe. The other one, who had gotten back up, facepalmed and charged in. At the same time, Katona was attempting to deal with one that had a metal shield. 
Katona: Someone help me with the shield! 
Dria: I see it, i've got you! 
Dria breaks off of her fight with one of the AAA and attempts to jab the one with the shield, but they turn nearly instantly and use the shield to knock away the White Rapier. As they attempted to stab her, Katona freezes them with his gun, before Hammer summons a electric shield to shock the metal shield and the AAA member holding it, taking them out. Dria and Katona then join the fight with the one fighting Hammer, soon knocking them against the wall. The three then go to help Gust, but he's already dealt with the final one.
Gust: I manage to deal with two of them, and you can't handle one?
Hammer: Not. Another. Word.
Katona busts a hole through the shutter, allowing them to rejoin the others.
Thistle: Stupid thing refused to burn!
Hammer: Yeah, yeah. You can burn things later, once we find the Wisps. 
With left clearly not a option, the combined teams decided to go straight instead. Once again, the path leads to one room. When the teams enter this one, however, they're met with a bomb. With no time to switch to the shield symbol, Hammer uses the golden symbol and hopes for the best. The symbol summons a barrier around the team, which helps them survive the blast. 
Pretext: How did you!? 
Katona: Ok, i felt that one. 
Hammer: Hey, i think the barrier is still up! 
Srish: So this symbol grants us a weaker barrier for longer? 
When the smoke clears, the team notices the path continued ahead. Before they did so though, they heard a explosion coming from the right path. Thistle and Gust decided to investigate, and noticed Alas, who had busted through a wall, fighting some AAA members with dual Egg Pistols. Deciding to help, Thistle managed to send a flame at one of the members, while Gust handled another and Alas dealt with a third. 
Alas: I'm sorry, who are you supposed to be? 
Gust: We're Team Sundown, traitor. 
Dria: I'm sorry, what?! 
Dria turns the corner and sees Alas. 
Dria: Alas... What are you doing here? 
Alas: For your information, the AAA stole my Wisp. The one thing we can agree on is that our Wisps are our friends, so i came to save him. 
Srish: Since when did you care about anyone? 
Alas: I still can't tolerate any of you, but since we're after the same person, let's stop waffling and get going. 
Dria: Fine. 
The combined teams(and Alas) continued onwards through the path the bomb blew open, with Hammer switching to a light green symbol. As they came upon another junction, two AAA members came from the left and right path. Before anyone could react, Thistle gleefully charged in and burned the two with a flame pillar, also destroying their weapons and releasing a couple White Wisps, which flew off. The two members tried to flee while burning, but were frozen by Katona's weapon, putting out the flames. Looking to the left, there clearly wasn't anything important, clearly, so they decided to go straight again, Alas punching the frozen AAA members as they passed by them. At the end of a rather long hallway was a actually labeled room, the "Wisp Containment" room, so likely where they needed to go. As they entered, they were met with a group of AAA members in matching assassin's outfits, with Pretext behind them. Behind him were the Wisps in a giant canister, which was protected by a glass barrier. 
Pretext: It appears you've made it through my trials. You really shouldn't have, but that stupid sword of yours kept you going. 
Hammer: Blah, blah, hand over the Wisps! 
Pretext: No. Now is when you die- 
Alas fires at Pretext, who dodges the blast. 
Pretext: Attack! 
The AAA assassins charged in, the twelve of them splitting up to handle the group, with two on the Team Dragoon members and Hammer, and one on the others. 
Dria: Take this! 
Dria stabbed at one of the assassins, but they Spinjumped it and off of Dria. At the same time, Silence was dealing with two as well, who were dodging his shots and slashes. Silence also saw Hammer dealing with some assassins, which were having some trouble with his shield powers. 
Hammer: That's right! There's nothing you can do! 
The assassins pulled out Murder Wispon pistols, and jumped back, firing at Hammer. While he was dealing with that, Srish was using his Spinjumps to parry the assassin's, before managing to punch one with a Yellow Gauntlets enhanced punch, throwing them against the wall. He attempted to take them out, but the other assassin on him got in his way, allowing the first to get back up. Thankfully, the others were having a easier time, Gust managing to take a assassin out quickly with redirected shots, Alas keeping another back with his Egg Pistols, Katona grabbing one assassin and throwing them at the glass wall, cracking it, while Thistle set the assassin he was facing on fire, before cutting them down with the axe attack. 
Thistle: I suppose this magic has uses without burning things. 
With Gust, Thistle, and Katona having handled the assassins fighting them, Gust and Thistle go to help Hammer, while Katona goes to free the Wisps. He doesn't get far though before being knocked back by Pretext. 
Pretext: Fine! I'll fight now! 
Pretext knocked away Katona with a Homing Attack, before attempting to Spindash him. Katona attempts to shoot him, but gets Spindashed into the wall before he can fire. Pretext then homing attacks Katona several times, before he managed to punch Pretext back. Seeing his gun wouldn't be effective against Pretext, Katona left it on the ground and started fighting Pretext in melee, holding his own. While that was happening, Gust and Thistle knocked down one of the assassins pestering Hammer, allowing him to cut down the other one. With that done, Thistle tested something, summoning a dragon of fire for a second. This gave him a idea, and called out to Team Dragoon. 
Thistle: Get over here you three! 
Team Dragoon and the three assassins still standing ran over, with Gust delaying the assassins until Thistle sent a dragon of fire flying through all three of them, burning them severely, before they were knocked out by a stab from Dria, a punch from Srish, and a slash from Silence. They then turned to see Pretext fighting Katona, and Alas manage to shoot down the assassin fighting him. As the group gathered back together, Pretext finally trounced Katona. 
Katona: I should've killed those Wisps when Team Sundown showed up alongside you! No matter. Assassins! Let's destroy this group! 
The assassins get up and inject themselves with Cyan Wisp energy. Before they can unleash their transformation, Hammer uses the light green symbol's power, to hopefully protect the group from the attack. The symbol manages to stop the transformation, causing all the assassins to fall on their faces. Using this to their advantage, the eight fighters throw the twelve assassins into a pile, while Pretext gets thrown against the glass barrier by Katona, who had gotten back up, before Katona used his power on both the glass and Pretext, shattering the glass and doing nothing to Pretext. Pretext then spinjumped into Katona, throwing him against the wall and knocking him out. 
Pretext: Fine! You wanna dance? 
Pretext lights his Murder Wispon arm blades. 
Pretext: Then let's dance. 
Pretext jumps to and slashes at Dria, cutting off most of the White Rapier's blade. As Silence and Srish try to exploit this, he kicks both of them back and steals the Black Sword. Using it, he manages to damage Gust's weapon, before the Black Sword is destroyed by Hammer's weapon. As he dodges back, Thistle catches him in a fire pillar, but he cuts his weapon apart with the arm blades. This causes the magic to explode outwards, throwing both of them back and burning them. Pretext got back up, while Thistle patched herself up with her healing powers. As Hammer went for Pretext, everyone heard something shatter. Turning towards the Wisp containment, they saw Alas had broken it. Out of the capsule came every Wisp that had been taken, including Alas's.
Alas: Vacuum! Let's go home.
Dria: A little help?
Alas: No.
Alas then just left. Hammer attempted to use the momentary distraction to defeat Pretext, but they dodged and kicked Hammer aside. Thistle then got a idea, and went for the freed Wisps.
Srish: A teamup for all of five minutes... of course.
Dria: You've lost, Pretext! Give it up and leave!
Pretext: Your wisps might be next to impossible to recapture, but that doesn't mean you've won! You all will die here!
Pretext and Hammer clash with one another, with Gust doing what he can to help from the sidelines. Hammer then uses a gray symbol, causing his weapon to unleash a powerful attack against Pretext. Pretext manages to dodge it though, and kicks the weapon out of his hands. Srish responds by charging in and Spin Attacking Pretext, while Silence and Dria both grab Katona's dropped weapon and fire it at Pretext. This almost works, until Pretext manages to cut Srish's knee, and breaks free of the freeze. He then goes and destroys Katona's weapon, before attempting to slash both Dria and Silence. This is stopped by a electric shield placed to electrocute Pretext by Hammer. Pretext, on his last legs, pushes aside Dria and Silence, jumps Srish's desperate attempt to Spindash him and knocks down Gust, before sidestepping Hammer's slash from his recovered weapon, and stomps on it, before sliding it across the floor and putting the energy blade to his throat.
Pretext: Any last words?
Hammer: It appears you missed something.
Before Pretext can process what that meant, he's turned incorporeal, causing his Murder Wispon to fall from his arms. He turns to see one of Silence's Ghost Wisps behind him, as well as Katona, up and armed with a Omni Energy form. Using the power, he tears apart Pretext's weapon with Drill projectiles, before using Burst power to get into range and cutting Pretext with Spike enhanced punches. He then fired off Burst, Lightning, Laser, Eagle, Rocket, Bomb and Quake projectiles, which all hit Pretext so hard that he bounced off the wall and landed right next to the door.
Pretext: Omni Energy power? That should be impossible for a Team Sundown member!
Thistle: Yeah, no. Turns out most Wisps won't hold personal bias against you if it's to take down a AAA general.
Pretext: Grr. Fine! I know when it's best to leave!
Pretext attempts to flee, but is blocked by Cube barriers.
Katona: You're not fleeing. You're dying.
Katona uses the power of Void to open a void, which sucks Pretext towards it. Team Dragoon attempts to stop it, but Team Sundown prevents them from doing so, and Pretext is swallowed by the void.
Silence: AAA generals are more valuable alive!
Katona: I don't care! He dared to steal my Wisp. My friend! 
Hammer: Katona made the right choice.
Thistle: You all are just averse to death!
Katona's Omni Energy form then fades, the Wisps leaving it, including Distractor.
Silence: Why you-! Fine... You know what, fine. There's nothing left for anyone to do about it now anyways.
The combined teams head back to the helicopter, returning to Restoration HQ with all the taken Wisps, as well as alerting G-U-N of what had happened. With their Wisps back, Team Sundown were taken by Team Dragoon to pay their dues to the Weapon Dimension King. A few minutes later, they were at the throne room, Team Sundown holding their weapons.
Dria: Your majesty. Team Sundown has brought the weapons as promised.
Weapon Dimension King: Good, good. I notice you don't have the weapons you borrowed. Did you already hand them to the blacksmiths?
Srish: Yeah, about that. Most of them were destroyed in the battle. I hope that's ok.
Weapon Dimension King: Hm. It happens. I can't blame you for a enemy's actions, and they're just weapons anyways. Just give back the ones that survived.
Srish: Alright.
Srish and Hammer gave back the weapons they took, and the two teams left. With how the day had been, Team Dragoon went back to their dorm to rest. When they arrived, they found Alan waiting there.
Srish: Alan! I thought you'd be in medical for a while longer!
Alan: I'm out of action, not bedridden. How was it?
Srish: Different. Team Sundown got some weapons from the Weapon Dimension.
Alan: Man, i wish i could've seen that.
Srish: Nah, it wasn't as fun as it might sound. Pretext was rather dangerous. 
Alan: Well, i'm glad you all came out ok.
Srish: Not completely. The wound i got still hurts even after Katona forced Thistle to heal it.
Alan: Well, all's well that ends well. We'll be adventuring again soon.
Silence: Soon, but not now. The adventure's over for today. Who's up for Team Sonic Racing?
Alan: Oh alright.
Team Dragoon then enjoyed games for the rest of the day.
The End.
