The giant, master Boull was hit by something very powerful. He never saw it coming and fell unconscious.
"Well, I'll be..." Marv Velo said. He and Nowhereman were standing not too far behind the body. "You appeared to have a purpose after all."
"Don't get too comfortable now," Agent F7 said. "These guys have a way of never appearing down, but... nice job, Nowhereman."
Nowhereman had a puzzled look on his face. "Me? I didn't do anything."
Everybody looked closely to see if he was serious or not.
The new Infamous Bedlam Gang wrestled with the powerful Incursion, pushing him out of the chamber, the battle spilling over the road outside.
Meanwhile, the Worm tried to open the bubbles using an old spell he knew. He drew the ancient markings and muttered the spell. Suddenly, the bubbles began to shimmer, and they dispersed. Hardy New-Born and Hero ran out to the battle, while Kid Bucket guarded little Ritchie.
Hardy New-Born ran out to see the IBG surrounding Incursion, while he used a variety of powers to hold them off.
Shock-Headed Peter: "Rhymer... I don't like it as much as you do, but we need to call a truce. Neither of us can defeat him on our own."
Hardy New-Born: "As much as I'm loathe to admit it, you're right."
The Hypertime Entity was outraged at the thought of allying with his most hated enemy and charged at Hardy New-Born.
Shock-Headed Peter: "Hey! This is no time for our two most powerful guys to run away from the battle!"
But it was too late. Hardy New-Born and the Hypertime Entity were in heated battle.
Hardy New-Born: "Don't... do this... we need to... work... together..."
The Hypertime Entity: "Never... poet man!"
Hardy New-Born: "If we lose.... Incursion... will send you back... to Hell!"
This seemed to get through to the Hypertime Entity, as he let go of Hardy New-Born. The two ran at Incursion full power, charging at him. Shock-Headed Peter followed behind them to see what they were doing. The Rhymer and the Hypertime Entity hit Incursion, and the three vanished in a huge explosion of energy.
Viper: "What the hell?!"
Hero: "Remember, the MBL and the IBG have a truce until this danger has passed. New-Born and the others can take care of themselves. Right now we need to get to that alien invasion battle."
Shock-Headed Peter: "Great! The IBG and the MBL, together at last!"
Hero: "Look, you can drop the fake friendliness..."
Shock-Headed Peter: "Shall we call ourselves the IMBBGL?"
Hero: "We know you're in this for personal gain..."
Shock-Headed Peter: "And revenge, of course."
Hero: "I didn't doubt it for a moment."
Shock-Headed Peter: "Shall we vote on a leader? Let's do it while Hardy New-Born is gone..."
Hero: "Listen, you..."
Shock-Headed Peter: "We could decide by show of hands. I'll just go and make more clones of Rae."
Hero: "We've got to find where they've gone and help them defeat Incursion."
Viper: "UNNECESSARY!"
Shock-Headed Peter: "Ow, my ears..."
Viper whispered something in Shock-Headed Peter's ear.
Shock-Headed Peter: "Is he really? Well, that makes things a lot easier."
Hero: "What?"
Shock-Headed Peter: "Nothing. Right, there's a frequency finder on my stolen ship. Minions, come with me."
Hero: "MBL, we'll go, too. Kid Bucket, get Ritchie to safety."
Shock-Headed Peter: "Yes, by all means. Viper, give him a hand."
Viper: "Of course."
Shock-Headed Peter: "After all, we wouldn't want the little soldier to have a fatal accident."
