Trouble in Oranos

Trouble in Oranos is the 31st Episode of the 3rd Season of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. In the AUU, Oranos has been the go-to prison planet for all criminals and super-criminals for centuries, and some of them from the Villains Act. Escapes are so rare that the Wardens of all prisons actually look forward to enjoying the misery of the criminal that fails effortlessly in an escape thanks to it's security and the planet's harsh cold climate. The Lodgers and the Heroes Act were just dropping off a recently-dethroned tyrant from the Gamma Universe named King Jall to Oranos until they heard that the particular prison they were sending him to was sabotaged. Thus they meet with Warden Croker, who insists that it was merely a prison riot that went wild and was quickly quelled, being expected from a prison with only laser cells. The entire prison's security system went haywire, so the prison was forced to resort to the emergency-neutronium cell barriers until the laser-cell system is repaired. Croker reluctantly decides to accept the help of the 'nosey' Shell Lodgers and Heroes Act about investigating this. All our heroes feel suspicious on how unwilling Croker was at first about this until they discover from Croker's daughter, Warden-in-Training Chokera, reports that the military base near their prison was attacked, and the soldiers were turned into frozen solid statues. The Soldiers were clearly attacked by a race of ice inspects, ant-mantis like in origin, in a near-tribe-like attire. The heroes knew that Croker was hiding something, and they end up accidentally discovering an underground colony of the same mantis-ant creatures that name themselves the 'Cryonoids', matriarchal creatures that had lived under the ice of Oranos before it was terraformed, with an entire caste system of workers sabotaging prisons, soldiers attacking bases with their ice breath and razor-sharp claws, gatherers used a special gas to brainwash those who survived an attack into mindless slaves, and shamans/charwomen replenished the soldiers' and gatherers' abilities. They are captured and brought up to the Matriarch, Matriarch Nigerian, and she reveals that they are attacking because the prisons' violent prisoners are making their agricultural system difficult since their food's growing source, a nectar-filled plant sac called the Feeding Egg, was cursed by an anti-war shaman who wanted to prevent a terrible war, made the plant into reacting badly to violence and sin. Since prisons mean violence and sin, the Egg is having trouble growing the Cryonoids' food, and if it doesn't get replenished, it will explode and cause the Cryonoids to die of starvation. Thus Nigerian has been forced to have her subjects try and scare the prison system off the planet to save the Egg by any means necessary, and is making the united tribes go through this because, while she has no compassion for the prisoners for being violent and sinful, she wants to force the settlers to leave through breaking their systems and even harming their forces until this gets noticed by what she calls 'The Ruling Outsiders', which is the AUU Grand Council, to close down the prisons and build them somewhere else. When the Heroes go to Croker, he locks them up and reveals that he doesn't want Oranos' prisons closed down since there is no other place to rebuild them, and he'll even have the Cryonoids killed if it means the prisons' survival. Little do they know that Chokera has been secretly installing AFT systems for all prisons on Oranos, that way they can fly and decrease the pressure the Feeding Egg has been taking, and allow the Cryonoids to survive. The Lodgers soon have a debate about which side they should be on: the Cryonoids or the Prisons. If they choose the Cryonoids, they risk prisoners escaping (Still unaware of Chokera's plan), and if they choose the Prisons, the Cryonoids die. So the Lodgers and the Heroes Act will need the assistance of Chokera, and the son of the Matriarch, Prince Maglus, to stop Croker from making things worse on Oranos.

Chapter 1: Planet Oranos
Outskirts of Equestia's edge. Planetary Space Cutaway Present Lodger Van Oranos
 * Sopony in her outfit is seen on the run, as omnimous creatures are heard following her.
 * Sopony: "Whatever you are doing Lougers, I hope your trip doesn't take long."
 * Xandy: (A Heroes Act dropship and the Shell Lodger Van is seen driving off towards the planet known as Oranos, carrying a Blue Heron-like bird in a royal outfit inside it's compartment cell)... Well, King Jall, it seems that your cruel tyrannical dictatorship has FINALLY come to an end.
 * King Jall: "..... How could I possabily failed? I, had everything! The best geniuses created my defences. I had the strongest Va Starbots in my disposeal from my Benufactor days. I had control of the findest wizards in the world. I kept myself obscured from the socialist Grand Council. I had the strongests warriors on my side! I listened to the peoples demands just to keep rebelions from rising! I, I don't know what went wrong! I had a tight-knit rulership! I kept all my enemies close! How could it all unraviled like this? Who's respondsable for exposing and ruining everything? You heroes weren't even an issue until you came from nowhere and just arrested me on the spot?! Who done this to me?"
 * Vancer: Look, dude, you've been taxing people out of house and home with no TRUE concern for their well-being. Not even the nicest of acts can make up for that. Why SHOULDN'T the people call and report you?
 * King Jall: BECAUSE I WASN'T ALL BAD, WAS I?!? I made up for it by giving them nice condos in the hills!
 * Miami: You were a benefactor for the Villains Act, and had an entire armada of Starbots in the catacombs of your castle. Do you HONESTLY think that your Blue-eye royal guards can hide that from US? Does that qualify as 'not all bad'?
 * King Jall: Look, I was only a benufactor to earn protection, I otherwise had NO love with that conquest nonsense they were doing!? And after all things I did for them to at least make them live in content with putting up with a no-nonsense ruler like me, they just turn on me like that? Maybe I wasn't exactly perfect, but at least I wasn't a warmonger or steriotypical "Tyrant", I at least put that money to good use and gave Condos to everyone!
 * Clifton: Look, pal, YOU betrayed THEM! And those nice things weren't exactly out of remorse, but just an anti-rebelion measure. And maybe you weren't a completely traditional tyrant, but your still a waste of political space. They did the right thing by telling us. You simply cannot be forgiven for your crimes, and must pay the price for it. I'm sure your brother would agree, too.
 * King Jall: YOU LEAVE MY BROTHER OUT OF THIS, OR SO HELP ME, I WILL-
 * Clifton: What? Execute me? You can't tell anybody what to do anymore. Taxation without representation is a crime punishable by life imprisonment.
 * Nanobyte: Yeah, so you'd better quit your whining. And don't bother trying your hardest to escape, Oranos has been this UUniverses' BEST prison since the Exo-Wars.
 * King Jall: Oh, alcourse, that frozen iceball of a planet. What a good place of misery for prisoners to be. I hear that place has been getting corrupt and cruel since that jerkoff Naroudan took over.
 * Miami: Watch what you say, Jall. Croker may be a bad influence on prisoners, but he at least has a daughter that treats prisoners right and has the guts to stand up to her own father.
 * King Jall: Honestly, all this because of a few taxes here and there? Honestly, ever since that Foulcheese debacle, you people have no respect to iron-fisted rulers anymore! And I least I didn't left those people in poverty longer then a few moments, I gave them into condos for petan's sake?! Ok, maybe my methods are abit offy, but at least I wasn't a socialist?! That money was used to make my people's millaterry stronger in defensive terms, and my socialist brother is gonna end up ruining it for them!? IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN OUTSIDE FORCE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HIS IDIOTIC BEHAVIOR AND- (Clifton presses a button and the cell shuts in metal lockdown, blocking out his dialogue)
 * Clifton:... Sheesh, villains these days are annoying when we transport them like this.
 * Aurlena: Tell me about it. I remember this Gryban punkster thug named Syvar Alloy who worked for a VA criminal syndicate as an engineer, and not only was he good at marksmanship, but he was annoying as hell! I can still hear him right now...
 * Alloy: (Appears as a lion-like squirrel in a punkster appearance and all the Heroes Act heroes were seen with twitching eyes) Hey, Lame-oes Act! Your Hydrocabiais friend must have a bit of a bad-side to her since she nearly doomed these worlds for peace. (Chuckles) Better watch out, she could be evil out of nowhere. (Laughs) And what's up with the ninja lady always wearing a mask? Just cuz' she's a ninja it doesn't mean she HAS to wear it all the time. Is she too afraid that someone will go 'DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN' at the sight of her pretty face? Huh? (Chuckles) And what about that dame with the big hands? I bet she picks up guys wherever and whenever she likes with them. In fact, how does she use datapads, or computers for that matter? (Laughs) Oh, and don't get me started on how I think that insects look UGLY when they're much bigger-
 * Xandy: SHADDAP, SHADDAP, SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADAP!!!
 * Alloy: Oooooh, I think she's going bad-side now! Someone call the Grand Council! (Laughs until Xandy locked-down his cell)...Yep, if there's one thing I like to do, it's annoy heroes.
 * Xandy: YEAH, he was so annoying, he almost made me rip my hair out.
 * Magnum: Not to worry, that's why we installed the sound-proof barrier so nothing can be heard in or out of the cell.
 * Telthona: Well, I guess calling the Lodgers to help really did things for us. That Starbot armada was too big for even us to handle. I'm telling you, you need a lot more heroes than us.
 * Nanobyte: Yeah, it's a miracle I survived that mission without being squashed by anyone.
 * ???: (On communications) This is Dodo, how's transporting Jall doing?
 * Magnum: (On communications) This is Magnum, it was a rough start and Jall seemed to put up a big fuss, but luckily he won't be a problem as soon as we drop him off.
 * Vancer: (Takes the communicator) Yeah. You might say we're sending him straight... To 'Jall'! (A rimshot was heard as Vancer laughed as almost everyone was unamused with the exception of Xandy and Hudson)...
 * (Vancer): (He continued his laughter for a while)... Ahem. Anyway, he's fine.
 * Mr. Dodo: Jolly good. Be sure he's well-restrained as soon as we touchdown on this place. And be sure your reptile friends are kept warm because our computer says this place can go about -89 °C, just like with a certain frozen continent we recognize in our worlds. We all know how a temperature like that can sneak up on you.
 * (Magnum): We've handled operations on snowy planets before, and we pack certain equipment for these kinds of situations. Trust me, we'll be fine.
 * Private: And... Uh... What prison did you say we had to bring Jall?
 * (Magnum): The Croker Penal Colony, the most prominent prison on the planet.
 * Mushu:... And you're sure it's a good idea to bring him there since we've heard before that Croker is a bit... Mean... To the prisoners?
 * (Magnum): Well, again, his daughter makes up for the cruelty of her father. But remember, we need to tread carefully when flying to the prison because it's security systems are really nasty, especially since Chokera was kidnapped.
 * Icky: "Oh, your just exaggerating. They can't be that bad-" (They suddenly stop as they approach a satellite, which scans the two ships, recognizing the Heroes Act dropship, yet not recognizing the Shell Lodge Van)
 * Computer Voice: Warning! Warning! Unidentified ship detected. (Several large gray-and-red robotic drones came out and pointed their weapons at the van)
 * Max Cat: (Hacks hairball) Oh, geez, (Coughs), I hair-balled myself.
 * Donkey: Oh, that is NASTY!
 * Dodo: Not as nasty as THOSE robots that want to shoot us down!
 * Xandy: Don't worry, Lodgers, we'll negotiate with them. (Turns on communications) This is the Heroes Act dropship, do not open fire! These are friends! I repeat, these are friends that had helped us bring in King Jall!
 * ???: Those weren't the same when you repeated them--(A slap was heard) OW!
 * ???: Don't mind him. This is just a precaution. Ever since the kidnapping of Warden-in-Training Chokera, we've deployed several top-notch Desolator Space Drones to eliminate any intruders.
 * Zosimo: And WOW, I never thought I'd see one of them. They're pretty damn good at combat.
 * Nanobyte: Oy, Zosimo, we don't need another one of your enthusiasm on war machines. They get old pretty fast.
 * (Mr. Dodo): Anyway, Xandy is right. We are the Shell Lodge Squad, here to assist in the confinement of King Jall.
 * ???:...Very well, then. Proceed. (The Desolators return back to the satellite, and the ships descend towards the planet)
 * Icky: "...... SERIOUSLY!? FIRST THE SUPERIORS WON'T TELL US ABOUT THEIR SECRETS, NOW THE ALTERNATES SIC THEIR ROBOTS ON US FOR NOT REKINDISING OUR ICONIC SHIP!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE MORONS!?"
 * Gilda: "Chill Icks, they OBVIOUSLY didn't program the things to rekindise us on account that we don't visit here too frequintly."
 * Icky: "BUT STILL!? YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE MORE APPREISATIVE OF THE FACT WE STOPPED AN UBER-NASTY VILLAIN EMPIRE?! SERIOUSLY BROS AND SISTERS!? UGHHHHHHHHA!?"
 * Lord Shen: "Prehistoric One, I am ordering you to cool down or I will ask Boss Wolf to take you to the anti-anger chamber again!?"
 * Icky: You mean the adult version of a time-out?
 * Lord Shen: Yeah, that! You know what that thing can do.... And so do I, sadly.
 * Icky: Yeah, hurts doesn't it? It pumps you up with psychoactive gases that make you feel happy and crazy!
 * Kowalski: I'm amazed it actually works.
 * Icky: Yeah, sure. I mean, sure I was left with nightmares for a while, but it relatively doesn't change a guy, right?...(His eye twitches)
 * Lord Shen: Right. So you'd better stop whining, or you'll have to go through worse pain than by sitting all the way through watching the Felix the Cat Movie... AND The Magic Voyage. Though the Producer doesn't see it as truely bad since he grew up with the movie, it just didn't really aged well these days.
 * Icky: Okay, you've made your point! (The two ships head down to the planet
 * Dodger: (The two ships look out the window to see a snowy wasteland similar to Antarctica, and several small cruisers carrying specially-suited troops were seen cruising by)... So, THIS is Oranos, huh?
 * (Xandy): Yep. The perfect place for a prison planet. It's cold and harsh, and no person would make it through this cold alive, making it difficult for prisoners to get off alive. Those who collapse in the cold are sent to healing tanks and recovered, and thrown back into their cells. I mean, sure, there's the issue with those that adapt to cooler climates, but luckly, we thought ahead and have many well-armed protols and cold-proof robots just for them.
 * Sparx: Clever.
 * Trixie: "But seemingly inhumane, even onto the scum of socity."
 * Icky: "That's because we're used to over-the-top punishments to demons. Mortal villains here were the ones who gave the worse shit to these people awhile back, what did you expect?"
 * (Aurlena): But as you can tell from the disappearance of 4 prisoners, it's not impossible to escape, but only 95% of the prisoners here aren't lucky enough to make it. I think King Jall will never be bothersome anymore in a place like this.
 * (Magnum): And we appear to be heading straight for the Croker Penal Colony. It's straight ahead. (They fly towards a large foundation, but they find that it's a near wreck.) WHAT THE?!
 * Spongebob: "..... Uh, aren't these prisons SUPPOSE to not be a complete wreck?"
 * Miami:...Oh, boy, I have a very bad feeling about this.
 * The Ships land and the Lodgers and HA Heroes came out.
 * Cloakblade: What the deuce happened here?!? (They see ice crystals all over the place)
 * Magnum: Hmm...looks like this place was attacked by an ice supervillain.
 * Zosimo:... I hope it wasn't Iscanda Dollgux, she's proven to be too formidable with her ancestor's line of freeze-based weapons.
 * Magnum: No... I sense something different. I'm sensing that this was not the work of someone as formidable as that white furry chiller. It's got to be something different. In fact, even Iscanda couldn't do attacks at THIS kind of degree. (They suddenly approach a trooper who was frozen solid while wielding an assault rifle)...
 * Private: (Faints)
 * Po: Whoa!
 * Crane: Well, that's spooky!
 * Spyro:... Hmm... Perhaps this guy is still alive. Maybe he knows what happened. (Softly breathes fire on him as it melts away the ice, freeing him as he slumped to the ground moaning)
 * White Rabbit:... Uh, sir, are you okay? What happened here--
 * Trooper: I'VE ONLY BEEN IN THE RECON SYSTEM FOR A WEEK, AND ALREADY I AM FREAKED OUT BY WHAT I JUST SAW!!! BUGS EVERYWHERE!! SNOWY-WHITE BUGS WITH THEIR ICY BREATH AND THEIR SHARP CLAWS!!! THIS DEFINITELY WASN'T IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION!!!
 * Tigress: Bugs? What do you mean bugs?
 * Trooper: Bugs attacked this place! Nasty creatures! At first, I thought it was that crazy bimbo Iscanda trying to freeze her way to freedom, and then... I saw one face-to-face! It was HUGE!! And it vomited it's freezing breath at me right as I tried to fire at it! It was horrible!! HORRIBLE!!!
 * Icky: "..... Don't ya hate it when a simple transport of a clished tyrant turns into "Attack of the Elemental Bug people" adventures? Let alone, elemental anythings?!"
 * Iago: "TELL ME ABOUT IT!? Last time we were taking a dictator to a prison planet, we had to deal with Fire-breathing Crocadiles!"
 * Icky: "Or when we were transporting a dark queen to a prison planet and had to deal with Lightning Snakes."
 * Lord Shen: "DON'T, EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT WHEN WE TRANSPORTED A CORRUPT PRESIDENT TO A PRISON PLANET THAT SUFFERED FROM LAZER SHOOTING LAND SHARKS!?"
 * The Heroes Act stared surprised and confused at the Lougers.
 * Xandy: "..... Wow, you guys are no strangers to this sort've thing."
 * Icky: "If you thought your universe was crazy, HA?! Take a walk in our universe then we talk about it?!"
 * Magnum: "Well, in reference that we once came to celebrate your version of Kraanmas last year while it suffered both a curse of grouchiness and an attack by a wind immortal, I'll have to take your word for it."
 * Sparx: Yeah. And FYI, our 'Kraanmas' is called 'Christmas', after a guy named Je-
 * Lord Shen: Let's not talk about holidays right now. We've had about enough of those for a while since we've spent Halloween doing crap. I took Kairi and her family to Marenia's first Halloween, Fluttershy had her first chance to show her scary stuff, three of you got to deal with a House of Wax parody and had to be rescued by the North Wind, and B.O.B stuffed his face with candy. I'm just glad we quickly got rid of the candy from Gobstopper that Icky took and gave them to the kiddies who'd enjoy them the most.
 * SpongeBob:... Say, do you guys have a Halloween-themed holiday to celebrate?
 * Xandy: That depends, what's Halloween?
 * SpongeBob: A holiday where everything is horror-themed, and at the end of the month kids go around in costumes and ask for candy.
 * Xandy: Oh, yes, a horror-themed holiday. We call it Grim Night. We celebrated it on Planet Istouto this year, because I thought we'd spend it acknowledging a special kind of urban legend called... THE PIXXART! I hated the stories about that creature as a kid. It was said to be a supernatural abomination that haunted virtual reality, turning it into reality, making death possable in both realities. And so as a 6-year-old, I used to fear being in a virtual environment until I learned at age 10 that it was just an urban legend which was said to originate from a glitch in the virtual systems. It's how I was able to get over other urban legends like with the Hydroabiais Forbidden Zone back on Carbungia.
 * Zosimo: I liked the legends about the Pixxart even as a kid. I watched all the movies centered around it, and I'll DEFINITELY look forward to the rumors of another one coming soon.
 * Kowalski: A creature that warps virtual reality?... WOW, you Alternate UUniversals have incredible stories to tell. I can't wait to tell a story like that to other geniuses next Halloween.
 * Lord Shen: Look, if we're done with holidays here, we'd like to move on and talk to Warden Croker. He's sure to know what did this.
 * ???: "Don't be too concerned."

Chapter 2: Warden Croker/Getting to the Bottom of Things
Cutaway Hallway Cutaway Present Iscanda's cell. Interrogation Room Later, Outside. Besser Base Ruins. Inside Base Control Room Empty Hallways. Flashback. Present Cutaway Present Plantis' Greenhouse Armory. Training Hall.
 * Warden Croker was seen marching down the hall with some of his best guards with him.
 * Warden Croker: "The mess you see here is, normal.... We merely had another prison riot."
 * Icky: "...... THEN THIS IS ONE HELL OF A PRISON RIOT, BUDDY?!"
 * Samantha: "But this gentlemen said that it was attacked by creatures."
 * Warden Croker laughed.
 * Warden Croker: "You actselly deemed "Kallfool the Prankster" creditable?"
 * Kallfool: "No sir, please! I mean it! There was those creatures you have probelms with! Their leader is only getting more aggresive!? She threaten to do more then just freeze us next time?! We need to fill them in on-"
 * Warden Croker pointed his spear at Kallfool.
 * Kallfool: "..... Oh, SHIT! No, no no no, no sir! ANYTHING BUT THAT?!"
 * Warden Croker: "Yes, Kallfool..... That."
 * Croker aims for Kallfool's crotch and zaps it!
 * Kallfool: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHJHHHHH?! MY BALLLLLLLLLLLS!? OHHHHHHHH?! HE'S ZAPPING MY BALLLLS?! OW?!"
 * A Elite Warden that looks like Croker's right-hand man looks away remorsefully as Croker continued his torture.
 * The Heroes Act and Lougers stared shockly!?
 * Savio: "Ay Chewawa!"
 * Icky: "JESUS CHRIST!?"
 * Xandy:... So THAT'S where this 'Christmas' thing comes from. Sorry, bad time to say that.
 * Shifu: WARDEN CROKER, STOP THIS AT ONCE!! (Kicks the electric spear from his hands, and Kallfool was knocked unconscious)...
 * Warden Croker: HOW DARE YOU SMACKED THE HEAD WARDEN'S SPEAR, YOU OVER-RATED-
 * The Elite Warden touched Croker's shoulder and nodded his head no.
 * Croker:.... Ah, yes, thank you Lt. Krin, for easeing my temper. That's why your my best right hand man. Well, listen here, vigilanties, Kallfool here is not to be trusted. He's been known to pull pranks on the staff here, and anything he claims are usually lies which lead to a prank. This truly was a riot set up by Iscanda Dollgux. But don't worry, we had her confined and had her punished.
 * Iscanda: (Appears as a white Sabochun in a high-tech suit) HEY, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!? I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING-(She gets shocked with an electric spear) OWWWW!! OWWWW!!! (She is placed inside a sarcophagus-like containment device despite struggling, and unknown things happened inside it)
 * Warden Croker: The Sarcophagus should teach her a lesson about starting riots.
 * Shifu:... Hmm... Guys, go get the lie detector.
 * Icky: Uh... I sort've borrowed it, it's back at the Temple.
 * Po:... WHAT THE HECK DID YOU NEED IT FOR?!?
 * Icky: DID YOU EAT ALL THE F****** CANDY, B.O.B?!? IF YOU DID, I'M GONNA PUT YOU STRAIGHT INTO THE FREEZER!!!
 * Icky:... It didn't really help that he has no blood for the lie detector to work.
 * Lord Shen:... (Shrugs) Prehistoric one, we've been over this a thousand times, you NEED to put things back where you found them when you're done. Otherwise we wouldn't BE in these kind of situations.
 * Croker: I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!!
 * Shifu: You think we can't tell when a person's lying or not? We want you to tell us WHAT did this!
 * Croker: I told you, it was Iscanda, why the hell won't you believe me?!?
 * Magnum: Becase we know you're lying, good sir!
 * Croker: ENOUGH! I want you all off of this planet now! Drop off what you came here for, or so help me I will have security THROW you off, is that understood?!?
 * Icky: Look, douche bag, we-
 * Croker: IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!?
 * ???: FATHER!!! (Chokera arrived) How DARE you threaten these heroes like that?
 * Croker: Chokera! You keep out of this!
 * Chokera: Why should I?
 * Croker: BECAUSE I AM YOUR FATHER, AND YOU WILL DO AS I SAY, YOUNG LADY!!
 * Chokera: "I'm not a little girl anymore, dad, you can't control me as a father."
 * Croker: "THEN AS A HIGH-RANKING OFFICTAL I DEMAND YOU TO-"
 * Magnum: "You are to calm down."
 * Croker suddenly becomes memberised.
 * Croker: "..... I, am to calm down."
 * Magnum: "You are NOT gonna kick us out."
 * Croker: "I am not gonna kick you all out."
 * Magnum: "Now apologies to your daughter."
 * Croker cleared his throat.
 * Croker: "..... I am sorry, Chokera, I get stressful when people accused me of dishonesty."
 * Chokera: ".... Apology accepted. But seriously, why is Miss Iscanda being punished for this mess? It's not actselly her fault."
 * Croker: "(Quietly) Because we need to keep Oranos' secret A SECRET!? I am not ENTIRELY and professionally proud of scapegoating the witch, but it's better then risking the prisons shutdown because of-"
 * Croker realised that Shifu had big ears.
 * Croker: "...... AHEM!? Anyway, since your choosen one friend calmed me down, I'll suppose I'll allow you lot to stay and help fix up the place. Heck, feel free to talk to Iscanda if you want if your curious about her motivations. Be careful though, she has a history of unfatenable trickery, so you'd be wise not to take her seriously."
 * The Lougers stared suspitiously.
 * Clifton: "..... You, have to pardon our friends, Croker. They're, not very trusting to people who are known to be, abusive to others."
 * Croker: "Oh how am I abusive?"
 * Savio: "You just electicuted a guy's crotch."
 * Croker: "..... Ok, fine, I have severe anger issues, HAPPY?! I been liked this because, I had ALOT of bullies growing up. Picking on me for being a half-breed. They drove me to being violent. That violence drove me to enforce the rules ever since. Punishing bullies as a hallmonitor was but a stepping stone into this great career. Satisfived?"
 * Shifu: "..... We sympathise with your pain, but it's hardly a true excuse to abuse even your own followers."
 * Croker: "Ugh, typical. This is why I find the ideal of trusting vigilanties with police and soldier work iffy."
 * Icky: "Aw no, ANOTHER critic?"
 * Croker: "Oh, don't get wrong, I don't inhereditly HATE you people. I just don't feel like Vigilantieisum is really our answer to our ever evoling problems in this universes. But I DO admire the surprisingly impressive work you did..... So far anyway. But allow me to be bluntly honest: Sideing with Pirates without contacting the Grand Council AND almost allowing Glowrod to commit an atosities on my people's planet and beyond are sort've HUGE flaws in your efferts to keep us safe, are they not?"
 * Hudson: "No one's perfect."
 * Magnum: "And to clear some facts, Axxus turned out more pure then his career implies, and what happened in Pharagu was merely a case of ill fortune."
 * Croker: "An ill fortune that left 4 prisoners here STILL ON THE LOOSE?!"
 * Squidward: "..... What're you saying?"
 * Croker: "I'm saying you need ALOT of improvement if you ever WANT ME to actselly consider you all as heroes."
 * Chokera: "Father, please don't disrespect them. They're still the heroes that took down the villains act and then some. Isn't that enough for you?"
 * Croker: "I'm just saying that they shouldn't've been too quick to turn on Foulcheese without proving his true colors to the Grand Council before playing pirate, and they should've certainly handled a bunch of escaped convicts, a nutcase, a xenophobic madman, and two wash-out idiots, MUCH better then they did!?"
 * Icky: "Hey, at least we CAPTURED the wash-out idiots, and the nutcase had iced off Lighthead for us!"
 * Samantha: "And we insist that the convicts will return to Oranos once the chance is given."
 * Aurlena: "And we'll be sure to include Glow-butt as well."
 * Croker: "Hmmpth. Forgive me when I say, "I'm not holding my breath"."
 * Chokera: "Ugh."
 * Po: "Wow, are you REALLY that cynical to us?"
 * Croker: Hey, I'm not the one who went all accusations on someone. Now I'd better leave. I have some business to take care of. I'll be sure to have the guards escort Jall to his cell. (Leaves)
 * Chokera:... I'm SO sorry my father had to be like that.
 * Shifu: I'll say. I heard him saying something about keeping a secret and it would result in the shut down of these prisons?
 * Chokera: I'd rather not talk about it, mainly because, father tends to throw a fit when private infomation gets exposed. Outside of that, It's just a nasty rumor some other guard leaked out about this place. Father is quick to think the guard is, well, pretty much Kallfool, and you saw what he has been doing to the poor fool ever since. Kallfool does have a bad reputation for mischiefious conduct, espeically after he used a prank based on my father's worse fear, which, is also private info that he'll throw a fit over. It's, also too embarrising to talk about.
 * Lord Shen:... Do you have ANY idea how serious a situation this is? I'm agreeing with Shifu that Croker knows something that we don't. And so, as general, I decree that we are not to leave this planet until we figure out what's going on. And since your father won't talk, we'll have to take it up with Iscanda first.
 * Squidward: Besides, who is this Iscanda Dollgux girl?
 * Cloakblade: She's a Villains Act villain who we dealt with on a mission on Planet Oltanx. She's the descendant of-
 * Zosimo: Of Zabon Bi Dollgux, the Globex weapons designer of several commercial-success freeze weapons which were useful during the Interuniversal War.
 * Cloakblade: ".... Zosimo, I was gonna say that."
 * Zosimo: ".... Oh, my humble apologies miss, ya'll know what a weapons' fanboy I be."
 * Icky:... So, she's like the Mr. Freeze of the AUU, only instead, she's a "Mrs. Freeze"?
 * Zosimo: Who?
 * Icky: A comic book character in our world with a freeze gun and suit.
 * Zosimo:... Well, I suppose so. But I should say that, if we are to interrogate her, we need to be careful. She's known to get through Oltanx's justice system through trickery and scams.
 * Mantis: Oh, I'm sure there's no reason for her to try and escape... For now. She's locked up in this 'Sarcophagus' thing, whatever it is.
 * Chokera: (Sighs) It's a disciplinary device which calms down unrulely prisoners through electrical pulses to the nerves, configuration of the circulatory system for relaxation, and psychological activity. Sure it hurts... ALOT more then even totally nessersary... But it certainly works well enough.
 * Icky: Oh, great, they have their own version of that stupid time-out chamber in our van, except it's being used for torture.
 * Shifu: Well, we need to know something, because we can't let things like this happen again. If these prisons are to survive, we need to get to the bottom of this right now.
 * Dodo: Yes, indeed. We must have a talk with Iscanda immediately.
 * Chokera:... Well, okay. But I need to get going. I need to tend to the other troopers and help repair the damages. It's a good thing the Wardens have made an economic doctrine to make repairs here free.
 * Shrek: Goody for you.
 * SpongeBob: Well, let's move. (They all leave)
 * Chokera:... (Turns on a communications band)... Yeah, this is Chokera... Are the AFT system construction still proceeding? I think some heroes are going to investigate and find out about the Cryonoids, and we need it complete before father finds out.
 * ???: We're nearing completion, Miss Chokera. I'm sure we'll have these prisons in the sky in no time. It'll certainly help with their agricultural crisis.
 * Chokera: Good! If my father finds out before it's done, we'll never have it operational. Proceed. (Turns off device)
 * Iscanda was grumbling.
 * Iscanda: "Rude minded vig-rogs!? Scape-goating me for what the Oranians are doing!? All I did was trying to explain my reshearch on the once mythical creatures, and I get treated like dirt!? If they think torture is gonna make me reconsider being a villain, ARE THEY GONNA GET A COLD SHOULDER SURPRISE?! I'm only like this because of a little bad luck and being overly-ambitious! Have I gotten too egotisitical? Sure, but it was still only a mistake, darling?! No one DIED from it...... Ok, maybe, injured, but that dishastor didn't caused any deaths, and my ungrateful family treated me like dirt over it!? You know what? I don't care about the cold of Oranos anymore, I am SO gonna bust out of this torture house and-"
 * ???: "Calm yourself, Iscanda. Your rant is only gonna risk another unjustly treatment".
 * Iscanda growled and looked at the Heroes Act.
 * Iscanda: "What do YOU want? Come to glout and rejoice on my torment?"
 * Hudson: "If it helps, we, don't actselly approve of what Croker is doing to you, whether it meant keeping you contained or not."
 * Iscanda made a surprised face.
 * Iscanda: "...... You don't? (Gets angry) YOU DON'T!? THEN WHY PUT ME IN THIS ICY HELLHOLE, YOU HYPOCRITICAL MORONS?!"
 * Magnum: "Two justifications: One, you're too dangeriously clever for your planet's NORMAL prison. Two: we discovered a big surpriseing truth about your family and friends."
 * Iscanda: "Pfft! That they think I'm a disgrace?!"
 * Clifton: "Uh, about that, turns out.... Your family and friends were framed and/or tricked by a group of sciencetists jealious of your ansistery's work."
 * Iscanda: "WHAT?!"
 * Hudson: "Well, yeah. They tricked your friends out of wanted to help you out of being egotisical and had them dumped you. When you basicly turned super-villain, they felt awful and regreted ever listening to those jerks, who later disguised themselves as your parents and say your a disgrace for an accsident that didn't even killed anyone! And they made sure your real parents were locked up in their own house to prevent their plan being ruined."
 * Iscanda: "...... WHAT?! WHY THOSE VILE ENVIOUS SAVAGES?! THEY RUINED MY LIFE SO THEY CAN GET PAYBACK ON MY ANSISTERY FOR OUTSHINING THEIR'S!? THAT MAKES ME WANT TO BREAK OUT EVEN MORE?! SO I CAN HUNT DOWN THOSE VIG-ROGS, (FOAMS AT THE MOUTH) AND CHOPPED THEM INTO PIECES AND EAT THEM WITH A NICE COLD DRINK?!"
 * Xandy: "..... Yeah, that's only gonna make your stay longer, because it's obvious those jerks REALLY damaged you."
 * Magnum: "Don't worry. When we discovered the truth, we made sure their disgraceful actions were met with due punishment. Now THEY are the ones who are the shame of their ansisters."
 * Zosimo: "But it's obvious that your far from healing that easily. You'll have to stay here until you drop that need for revenge on anything that upsets you. Your from an ansistery that's above the kind of nonsense your involved with. It would help you alot if you remember that."
 * Iscanda: "You think I can just FORGIVE socity for falling for an amatur prank by envious fiends that easily? Well if that's what you came for, then-"
 * Samantha: "Not nessersarly. We just came here to tell you this in hopes it would open your eyes... Well, it worked, but in a rather glamorious way. But we would like for you to ease your anger at least for this moment to explain to us more about the creatures that had been an issue recently with other heroes from another Universe. You might known them as the Shell Louge Squad."
 * Iscanda: "Hmmpth! What's in it for me?"
 * Hudson: "Depends. What would you li-"
 * Xandy: "(Covers Hudson's mouth) Try not to give her idears, dear. You have to mind Hudson, he's still abit of a rookie. The least we can offer is the end of un-nessersary physical force provided if you behave. Our friends and I are curious about the problems of this place."
 * Magnum: "But be warned that we'll only take anything related to the creatures seriously. Anything else will be assumed as an attempt of your usual trickery, and it WILL count as defience. And you already went through the consinquences of it."
 * Clifton: "So are you gonna come with us to the interview room quietly, or do we have to wait for you to go through "shock threopy" again?"
 * Iscanda:...(Sighs) Very well. You did provide me with things I need to know. So I suppose that's enough for me to provide in return.
 * Spyro: (She is seen in a shadowy room)...Well, Iscanda, let's get started.
 * Iscanda: Uh, follow-up info, I only know about the creatures themselves through my research, which due to conditions of this torture house and pitiful excuse of a prison, is limited, so don't expect ALL your questions answered, darlings. Also, my belief of why Croker is keeping the existence of these beings quiet is mostly guess work and spectilation, which I been informed you don't want in risk that you'll assume I'm being tricky again, so let's not bother with Croker's nonsense, agreed?
 * Spyro: Alright. What do you know about these creatures?
 * Iscanda: Well, when I was studying the history of Oranos during my time on Oltanx, I learned of rumors of an ancient species of creatures known as the Cryonoids. They're insects which are now believed to have gone extinct long before Oranos was made a prison planet. They were creatures which had multiple castes. The workers were in charge of labor such as tinkering and agriculture, soldiers were fighters with razor-sharp claws and the ability to breathe an icy breath to freeze people, gatherers were used for chemical operations such as growing or chemical attacks, shamans or charwoman are the main source of magic and replenishment for the other castes, and then there's the leader, the matriarch. They reproduced and commanded the colonies. All that we know so far about these creatures were that they were going through inter-colonial warfare which is said to be the cause of their extinction... But I had my suspitions the extintion event never happened. Can't say I would confirm it somehow, but it seemed too sudden to just assume they had a huge war and eventally died, cause wars normally take LONGER then that before that point!
 * Spyro:... But, judging by the soldiers' ice breath, it's possible that they're still alive, like you said. So... If they are... Then what stopped the war?
 * Iscanda: Nobody knows since everyone thinks they're long-gone. But I have a feeling that Croker and his daughter knows, yet refuses to tell us. The first time Croker blamed me for these attacks, I had become suspicious of their existence. But when I witnessed an attack from outside my cell, it was very clear that they were not extinct at all. I started questioning how they survived. But I think Croker seems to know, yet refuses to reveal it for the sake of these prisons which I don't seem to care that much about.
 * Spyro:... (Sighs) I may not know what he's hiding about them, but these prisons MUST be preserved. Our main prison almost fell into bankruptcy, yet was generously financed and given improvements. There was a risk of all prisoners being freed. I don't think these prisons can risk suffering the same. On the otherhand, I can understand Croker's intentions, but he can't just ignore whatever angers these 'Cryonoids' so much.
 * Iscanda: Well, again, he told you it could lead to the end of these prisons.
 * Spyro: We're NOT going to let these prisons be shut down. Whatever the issue is here, it MUST be balanced out somehow. We must find these Cryonoids.
 * Trixie: "Are you saying we should go out there in the snow? By the Alicorns, dragon, has your freaky purple powers gone into your head!?"
 * Trixie was shivering intensely as The Lougers and Heroes Act were outside.
 * Trixie: "I thought the forzen north was c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c--c-c-c-c-c-cold!?"
 * Spyro: "That is pretty much why they picked this place, Trix. Now, all we have to do is be able to find out where the creatures would appear next."
 * Chokera came in on a hover scooter.
 * Chokera: "I, might had an idea. There's been another attack and father instructed me to investigate it and, begurdgingly asked me to take you guys with me."
 * Xandy: "..... Well, that's a start."
 * Chokera: "The place was an Oranos Military and Recon Commission Base a good several miles from here. You get there faster by a hovering vehicle. I'd offer some hover scooters, but the guys told me the scooters can't properly acommindate those without hands, or any bipedial limbs for that matter, which is why I asked a few guys to send some Hracs your way."
 * Gilda: 'Hracs'?
 * Icky: "Gesundheit."
 * Chokera: It's a nickname for the scouts' main form of transport, the Hovering Recon Carriers, capable of carrying up to 15 scouts. They should be coming any second. (High-tech whooshing was heard in the distance)... That must be them now. (Several large carriers like from before arrived, and another Naroudan appeared)
 * Naroudan: Did somebody call for some transport?
 * Chokera: Yes, thank you, General Besser. These Lodgers need transport ASAP.
 * Naroudan (General Besser): No problem. We've got more than enough to carry all of them. (The Lodgers hop onto the carriers, and they started moving across the icy wasteland)
 * Trixie: (Continues shivering)... How do... You guys... Withstand this temperature?!?
 * Chokera: All generals and scouts wear temperature-controlled camouflaged suits to combat the cold. If it does little, the scouts are trained to resist the cold as much as possible.
 * Skipper: Yes, the classic 'show no pain' tactic. A nice military philosophy, yet it can only work so much.
 * Trixie: "Can't these overgrown tincans go faster?"
 * Besser: "Trust me, miss. These things are safer in their current speed. They're a dishastor waiting to happen in anything higher."
 * Gilda: "You have to mind Trixie, she doesn't like to be cold for too long."
 * Besser: "Then Oranos is clearly not for the little miss."
 * Trixie: "Oh hardy, har-har."
 * The group arrived at the location, and it's an even bigger mess.
 * Frozen soldiers and staff are seen everywhere.
 * Icky: "..... Kumbya, these things went out into town."
 * Besser: Yes, this is one of the worse devastations these unknown forces have caused. It'll take weeks to get this kind of damage repaired. I'll have to settle in the closest OMRW base until it's fixed.
 * Chokera: "Yes, it's just as bad as the other insodents. This could've been prevented if father wasn't so afraid to report-"
 * Spyro: "The Cryonoids to the Grand Council?"
 * Chokera: "Yea- Wha, hey! How did you know about that?"
 * Xandy: "Iscanda told us."
 * Chokera: ".... Ugh, figures. Iscanda really hates my father so badly that she told you people this."
 * Sparx: Well, DOI, the guy blames her for the bugs' attacks and puts her in a freaking torture device every time.
 * Chokera:... How much did she say?
 * Icky: "That you and your dad are keeping quiet about the mess and that she's studying the critters."
 * Chokera: "..... Look, I am not as stubbern about this as father, but I respect him enough that I keep quiet about this. He doesn't truely trust me knowing even a minor detail about this problem, let alone the problem in general, and you just saw what he does to Kallfool! If I end up betraying that trust-"
 * Shifu: "Then we won't force you."
 * Chokera: "Thanks. Now, let's investigate and see what they did THIS time."
 * The base halls are long and dark. And filled with Robot heads on top of spiked staffs.
 * The Heroes and the Wardens wondered in.
 * Chokera: "..... The creatures did quite a wonder on our Watcher Robots. They're the toughest anthro-machines available on this planet. And even they can't handle these things."
 * Kolwalski: ".... It appears that our creatures are tribal, considering the "Head on spiked staff" thing they did. Alot of head-hunter tribes do that."
 * Chokera: "Well, at least the creatures are merciful enough to only do it on machines."
 * Shifu: "Then we can safely assume these creatures are not doing this out of malice or cruel intent, but to merely frighten the prisons off the planet by merely being hostile."
 * Besser: "Then this is ONE hell of a way to tell us to get off their property. Is it possable we placed a building on a holy site or something?"
 * Shrek: "Or they just like their privacy and don't want anyone else on their turf. To them, it was like when Donkey and the fairy tale creatures moved into my swamp. They felt you people planted prisons here without their permission."
 * Lord Shen: "I wouldn't call either of those claims inaccreate, but I have a sinking suspition that they wouldn't've gone into this sort've trouble for mere invaded privacy. And it's even more extreme then a disturbed holy site or sacred burial land. This has the markings of a survival war."
 * Besser: "Your saying these things think prisons are a threat to their exsitence?"
 * Lord Shen: "Not nessersarly the prisons themselves. They think the people who made them are the threat. The poor savages think we're here to take over thier homes and harm them."
 * Chokera: "(Quietly) It's more then you think."
 * Shifu looks at Chokera who quickly got nervious and walked away.
 * The group moved on, as mysterious forces briefly looked at the group before leaving quickly!
 * The Group enters.
 * Besser: Well, this is the control room. It's where most of the machinery here is controlled. The place seems to have a bit of holes in it, so snow seems to be breezing in. Sure hope the Holo-Network is still in working order. Maybe it has a recording of the attack.
 * Chokera: (Checks a blue-and-white device)... Oh thank goodness, it looks like it still works, if barely. (She pressed a few buttons)
 * Device Voice: You have one n-n-n-new message. (A hologram of a Sabochun guard was seen)
 * Guard Hologram: "This is Scout Captain Jassbutt... (Icky and the Hyenas laughed)... I repeat, Scout Captain Jassbutt calling for imminent assisence! The creatures overwhelmed our forces and captured away those that couldn't fight back and frozen the rest of our troops and decimated our robots?! Even our most strongest machines didn't stop them?! The Matriarch is out and about?! It's started to get serious, Croker, we can't hide this any longer?! It would soon promote to the creatures actselly killing us off and doing what they did to the robots?! I think what they did to the robots is a warning of what's to come if we don't shut down the prisons and leave?! Stop being a damn stubbern fool and alarm the Grand Cou-"
 * A claw grabbed Jassbutt as he screams!
 * The Hologram ends.
 * Trixie: "........ Was that claw what I think it was?"
 * Besser: "..... Oh, holy shit........ This is started to get serious."
 * Trixie: "C-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-can we PLEASE not be here anymore?!"
 * Clifton: "Relax, Trixie. It's obvious the creatures long left this place."
 * Besser: "But let's not be fools here. They're smart enough to leave some scouts to look out for rescue parties and investigation teams."
 * Po: "How do you know that?"
 * Besser: "..... Cause a lot of them end up not coming back. It's a safe bet these things have something to do with it. It started when they kidnapped prisoners and wardens. Then, it got promoted to staff and the patrols. Then, even the shearch parties stopped being safe."
 * Trixie shivered sparaticly now!
 * Besser: ".... We need to cover the ground of this area. Shearch for survivers..... Other then the poor souls turned into popsicles. We'd already ordered a retriver team for them. Let's look for non-frozen survivers. We'll work faster if we split u-"
 * Trixie: "NOOOOOOOO!? DON'T SPLIT UP!?"
 * Besser: "..... And why not?"
 * Trixie: "DON'T YOU KNOW HOW HORROR MOVIES WORK?! EVERY TIME THE GROUP SPLIT UPS, THE MONSTER PICKS THEM OFF ONE BY ONE?! THESE CREATURES ARE CLEARLY SMART ENOUGH TO THINK THAT FAR AHEAD?! EVER FIGURED THOSE RESCUERS AND INVESTIGATERS MADE THE SAME MISTAKES?!"
 * Besser: "..... Uh, Lougers, is, your friend always like this?"
 * Gilda: "When it comes to dealing with monsters she can't easily handle, yes. But it's worser here since Trixie, well.... She saw this REALLY narly monster movie about killer ice bugs, and, it kinda went like what we're seeing."
 * Besser: ".... Was this film bad?"
 * Icky: "It made "The Thing" look like "Equestia Girls" in comparison!"
 * Besser: "..... I'm gonna assume yes."
 * Gilda: "Look, Trix, if you want, we'll go back outside and wait while the others look up the place. I'll promise I'll keep you safe from the bug people, ok?"
 * Trixie: I don't know if that'll make me any safer. It's freezing and hard to see out here. A perfect environment for monsters to kill in. They could attack from any direction.
 * Besser: It's true. That's why we security have to wear special goggles that allow infrared vision so we can spot those that are shrouded by the foggy snow winds. We don't really have enough spare goggles for you, so I think we'll have to unfreeze some of these guys and provide some easy eyes.
 * Spyro: You sure they won't be too traumatized to cooperate?
 * Besser: They're not supposed to be. They're soldiers.
 * Spyro:... If you say so. (Breathes fire on the frozen soldiers slowly)
 * Trixie:... I just hope these creatures aren't THAT violent.
 * Chokera: Oh, they aren't. Again, so far, they only did the spike staff thing onto the robots. And Jassbutt just said no organic being died yet.
 * Po: So... How long have these creatures been an issue?
 * Besser: Well, according to the archives, they've been an issue since the penal colonies got established centuries ago. The first attack was only minor, and it lead to only a few people being kidnapped. But the fights got intense as the years passed.
 * Boss Wolf:... You're saying these beasts have been attacking you for CENTURIES?!?
 * Besser: Yes. And we still haven't figured out why. But whatever it is, these creatures want us off the planet.
 * Tigress: Well... Looks like we'll need to search the entire area for any sign of their disappearance, like a tunnel.
 * Besser: Oh, trust me, finding a tunnel is impossible. These creatures cover up their entrances and exits as quickly as they come and go. They are experts of seclusion.
 * Icky: "Well their badassery in that backfired on them, cause otherwise you people wouldn't even PLANTED prisons here if you knew about the ice-breathing bug people!"
 * Besser: "Oh trust me, we ordenarly know better then to mess with un-allined beings planets for our own benifit. Even more so after the Pharagu dishastor."
 * Besser: "Alright, let's move out."
 * The Groups split up, as Trixie worries more, even dispite Gilda comferting her as the two and some freed guards walk out.
 * Spyro and Chokera and their group found a lock door.
 * Spyro: "..... I think someone might be in there."
 * Chokera cautiously knocked on it.
 * A voice: "NO?! PLEASE?! GO AWAY?! SPARE US!? WE'RE UNARMED SCIENCETISTS?!"
 * Chokera: "That's some of the staff. It's ok, it's just a rescue party."
 * The voice: "Oh no.... DON'T WORRY ABOUT US, YOU DAMN FOOLS?! SAVE YOURSELVES!? MAKE THAT IDIOT CROKER DO WHAT TWANT ALREADY AND SHUT DOWN THE PRISONS!? WE CAN ALWAYS JUST SEND THE PRISONERS TO NORMAL PRISONS?! IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE IF THAT STUPID APE DOESN'T-"
 * Chokera: "WHOA, EASY THERE DOCTOR GRINHEART, THAT'S MY FATHER YOUR TALKING ABOUT!? Not that I don't understand your complaints."
 * The Voice: "Chokera? MISS CHOKERA, IT'S TOO DANGERIOUS HERE!? THE CREATURES, THEY'LL SEEK YOU OUT BECAUSE YOUR CLOSEST TO CROKER AND..... OH MY GODS, I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT!? JUST GET OUT OF HERE?! THE SCOUTS WILL REPORT YOU SOON!? THE-THE-THE MACHINE FACTORY IS STILL OPERATIONAL, SO I DO NOT WANT TO BE FORCED TO ACTIVATE A FEW STILL-OPERATIONAL ROBOTS ON YOU JUST TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE FOR YOUR PROTECTION?!"
 * Chokera: "Calm down, your obviously just scared, Doc. Let's all rationalise here and-"
 * Suddenly the floor down the hall opens and several security drones woke up to see the hero team, as well as several gray-and-red ball-sized flying drones armed with weapons flying in.
 * Drone: "Intruder alert. Set lazers to stun.... (Intimidatingly) PAINFULLY?!"
 * The Drones bring out big guns?!
 * Po: "HOLY BUDDHA HE REALLY MEANS IT ON HIS THREAT?!"
 * The voice: "I'm sorry, Chokera, but it's for you own good?!"
 * The Drones are about to fire!
 * Chokera: GRINHEART, PLEASE!! THESE HEROES ARE HERE TO HELP US! WE CAN SET THINGS RIGHT, AND DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS?!? I HAVE A PLAN TO FIX THIS WHOLE SITUATION AND STOP THOSE BEASTS FROM EVER TRYING TO HARM YOU AGAIN! YOU CAN'T KEEP CUDDLING YOUR STUFFED TRIGER FOREVER!! SO WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE, DOCTOR?!?... (Pauses)... (The drones shut down, and are deployed back where they came from as someone came out the door, and it was a Uonan in a dark-blue lab coat carrying a gun and shakes nervously)
 * Uonan (Dr. Grinheart):...Are you sure these are friends?
 * Brandy: Do we look like foes to you, bucko?
 * Dr. Grinheart: "...... Well, it depends on alot of things actselly, but I think I stirred enough of the druma."
 * Po: "Ok, seriously dude, what was THAT for?"
 * Dr. Grinheart: "I can safely assume you didn't see those inspectiod creatures. They are angry, angry at that poopersnoop Croker for his refuseal to shut down these prisons for the satisfaction of the creatures?! Ugh, I did NOT sign up to be in a WARZONE?! I signed up to keep troubled beings from escaping! Once the power comes back to operational status, I AM SO REPORTING THIS MADNESS TO THE GRAND COUNCIL?!"
 * Po: "Yeah, fair to warn you, he doesn't seem to like people talking about it and-"
 * Dr. Grinheart: 'Let me guess..... You saw and/or heard about his abuse torwords Kallfool and Iscanda."
 * Crokera: "Yeah, dad is STILL holding a grudge on poor Kall because of that prank."
 * Dr. Grinheart: "I know, epsiecally since it also embarrisingly reveiled his fear of heights in front of the entire staff and prisoners! I mean, I can still hear the endless laughter when-"
 * Po: "WAIT! Croker's, afraid of heights? But, monekys tend to live in trees, so shouldn't they LOVE high places?"
 * Lucky Jack: Wow. A monkey who's afraid of heights. Now I've seen everything.
 * Kowalski: Technically, he looks like a lemur. The two are different.
 * Po: "But lemors have dog faces, and that guy CLEARLY has a moneky face."
 * Kolwalski: "Ok ok, he's at best a Monkey-Eqused Lemor, satisfived?"
 * Crokera: "Oh thanks a bunch, doc. Well, you see, my father was different because, an extremely nasty bully placed a simular prank... With the highest flagpole the school had."
 * (Chokera): "It happened while he was still a very little kid. He was hunged to the highest flagpole the school had, by his tail, painfully by a rusty fish-hook, and the bully left him there for nearly the rest of the day!"
 * Young Croker was seen crying like a baby!
 * (Chokera): "..... It was NOT good for his mental defeluptment. You see, he was no longer picked on for being a half-breed... It was now over his fear of heights."
 * Chokera: So his family was forced to live on the ground for his own satisfaction. Sure father can still climb, and he's okay when he climbs normal-height trees, but he draws the line at heights that he can't climb down on.
 * Po: "Gees, and I thought he had a rough break before."
 * Dr. Grinheart: So what are you guys here for?
 * Chokera: We were checking to see if this place wasn't that ravaged... So far, it looks like it would be months in this planet's terms to repair this place. We've got other groups searching the area for survivors.
 * Dr. Grinheart: "Well, you found me and some fellow sciencetists in this room. There are others, but they gone into more extreme lengths to protect themselves from the creatures. Our weapons mason has hoarded himself in the armory and has mentally atuned himself in a zen-like state to shoot anyone he deems a threat! The Botinest locked herself uped in the garden room and is enjoying the company of plants. The criminalogiests and behaviorests were evacuated from the place. But it's Strex you should worry about. He rounded up the other guards of the area and is plotting a revolt! He's at the training hall. He in particular has grown tired of Croker's madness and incompidence!? No offence Chokera."
 * Chokera: "Ugh...... Damn it, Strex."
 * Spyro: "Well, we'll have to make the others aware so they'll know what to look for."
 * Dr. Grinheart: "Well, good luck with that. Cause until you do and secure a SAFE passage out of here, myself, my fellow sciencetists, (brings out a stuffed animal) and my dear comferting little friend, Hopewell, are staying RIGHT here! (Icky scoffs) We'll be protected by a locked up door and the remaining drones, and yes, WE were sure to seal off the vents! There's virtually no way for them to get in!"
 * Chokera: "You sure you don't want us around to keep you safe even more? Cause trust me. Those beings are smart, and they HAD beaten the drones before. And even if the door was extremely sealed in, they'll find a way to break down eventally."
 * Dr. Grinheart: "It's no impentitable fortress, I know, but it's better then being out in the open until a safe passage secure! Thank you and good day!"
 * Chokera: "Grinheart, please-"
 * The door closes and sealed up tight again.
 * Chokera: "..... I'm sorry about Grin, he's just very afraid. He honestly didn't expect the Cryos, so you can't blame him for being like this."
 * Spyro:... May I ask, who's Strex?
 * Chokera: Strex is a very aged general who runs the other closest OMRC Base a few miles away. He's a very mean Naroudan who lost his left arm to a Cryonoid long ago, and has since been very skeptical about father's choices, and wanted to take his place so he could set things right with the Cryonoids. Cause of that, dispite slightly hurting a Cryo, and even ripping an arm off of one of them with his cybernetic arm, even though it doesn't really mean a thing cause Cryonoids were known to slowly regenerate lost limbs, if it was gonna be a threat, he never killed any of them. Luckly, even dispite never killing one, even the Soldier Leaders know he's a serious challnage. Trust me, he's a person who takes this situation seriously, and he thinks it's why he should be the head of the Oranos Prison System Wardens Commission.
 * Po: Hmm, seems pretty nasty.
 * Chokera: Yes. Trust me, you do not wanna get on his bad side too much. But now, I think he's finally had enough after an attack here.
 * Spyro: "Well, if he's supposed to be in another base, then what is he doing here?"
 * Chokera: "Obviously, he was checking up the place to make sure it was safe. And he did was he cold to keep the people here safe. We should make dealing with him a major priority. We'll have the others deal with Jakoon the Mason and Dr. Plantis the Botinnest. Whatever team should go after the mason should be careful. He's a known paraniod being. And Plantis is harmless. The plants she made are alittle, over-protective though."
 * Po: "Ok. So, we know who we're seeking out. But who's gonna deal with the Mason, and who's seeing the plant lady?"
 * Chokera: "Well, I have to go deal with Strex. I'll deal with him personally."
 * Skipper: We'll go after this Jakoon guy.
 * Shifu: As will me, Po, the Furious Five, Spyro, and Cynder. The rest will handle Plantis.
 * Sparx: Yeah, I'm definitely not going with you guys. I cross the line at heavily-armed trigger-happy creeps.
 * Po: What, are you scared?
 * Sparx: Oh, please, I'm not scared. When have I ever been scared?
 * Sparx: (Sees a frog) AAAAHHHHH!!!, (He sees a Venus Flytrap) AAAAHHHHH!!! (He sees a scary picture) AAAAAHHHH!!! (He sees Sandy dressed up as Freddy Fazbear) AAAAHHHH!! MOMMY!!! (Flies off)
 * Sandy:... (Giggles) That little dragonfly is easier to scare than SpongeBob.
 * Sparx:... Okay, so maybe I'm a little scared, but I punched somebody besides those Shadow Demons, didn't I?
 * Spyro: It was only that parrot from that "Seas of Captain Legend" mess and one of Captain Skabb's pets.
 * Sparx: Yeah, but still, I can unleash a can of whoopass on anybody.
 * Skipper: You kidding? You can barely lift the can opener to do it.
 * Kaa: (Dubbed as King Julian) OOOHHHH, BURN! He got you good.
 * Skipper: "Well, we may as well contact the others on what to do now."
 * The Mysterious forces were still watching them and leaving quickly!
 * Icky: "..... Ok, seriously, why do they have a greenhouse in an ice planet? What the f*** kind of purpose does it serve over here?"
 * Lord Shen: "It's obviously an alternate shorce of getting their fruits and vegitables considering the conditions of the planet."
 * Icky: "Are we even sure the Plantis lady is even here? It doesn't look like it's very active."
 * Sam: Well, Chokera said she MIGHT be here because these plants aren't just any plants. They're hybrid plants born from genetic farming that they say defend Plantis from danger.
 * Max: Wow, I've heard of hybrid plants and genetically-engineered fruits, but this place takes it to a whole new level.
 * Besser: Well, genetic farming is a very revolutionary field in these worlds. We've been able to create hybrid fruits out of it. Plantis creates such fruits for us. But be careful once you approach one of the hostile plants. Do not attack, and just let it smell you. They identify hostiles through the behavior of them, whether it be breaking in or frontal assault. Just don't do anything to tick them off.
 * Ed Otter: Sounds simple enough. Just approach them like a dog.
 * ???: (In graceful voice) Who's there?
 * Besser:... Plantis, is that you?
 * ???: General Besser? (A Rabodan with yellow skin and a dark-blue dress appeared) Are there any Cryonoids around?
 * Kaa: They seemed to have pretty much left the scene, miss.
 * Plantis: Well, thank goodness. I thought they'd never leave until they've captured everyone here. I swear, the sooner Chokera makes good on her solution to fix the Cryonoids' problems, the better.
 * Lord Shen: Miss Plantis, do you happen to know why the Cryonoids are like this?
 * Plantis: Well, can't say I truely know, but, I think I have a throey. I think it may have something to do with the fact that my plants have been mysteriously dying at about half their usual lifespan.
 * Bagheera: Dying?
 * Plantis: Well, in my many years as the botanist who provided food for the staff here, I have discovered that plants that are grown here usually die about half their usual lifespan. They don't seem to be functioning properly and start getting sick. I can't even tell what they're trying to tell me, but it feels like they're saying 'stop the corruption, save the plants'.
 * Boss Wolf: You got all that from the plants' behavior?
 * Plantis: Not, nessersarly. They're trained to communicate through displays, which I've been studying all my life. When I analyzed their sicknesses, all I was able to diagnose was that... well... It looked as if they weren't getting fertilized enough, like something was cutting off their access to the nutrients deep in the ground.
 * Baloo:... Uh, isn't this place like, covered entirely of snow? So the actual ground is several miles beneath the ice.
 * Plantis: I dug fertilizer cables deep in the ground, and found the actual surface. It was easy to use that cable to give my plants the fertilization they needed. But 5 days after I made them, the plants started suffering these sicknesses. Something seems to be cutting off the nutrients the plants need to grow strong.
 * Batty: You think this has something to do with the Cryonoids' hostility?
 * Lord Shen: It's purely anyone's guess, so we need to find out more. Iscanda said that Cryonoid workers are responsible for agriculture and engineering, so perhaps they seem to be doing botanic work as well.
 * Brandy: You think they may be suffering the same problems with THEIR plants?
 * Lord Shen: I'd say so. Looks like we have another clue in our hands, Lodgers.
 * Icky: Perfect! Now we're getting somewhere. Thanks a lot, miss.
 * Plantis: Glad I could help. Whatever's upsetting those Cryonoids, you guys might need to help fix it.
 * Lord Shen: (Picks up communicator) This is Lord Shen calling Skipper's team. We seem to have found something interesting. It would seem that plant growth on this planet seems different than average. Plants here die at half their average lifespan, and Plantis says it's because they're not getting enough nutrients, like something is cutting them off.
 * (Skipper): Well, how is that relevant?
 * Lord Shen: We theorize that, because the Cryonoids have workers that have agricultural jobs, they might have the same problems, and might know something about it that might be what Croker is hiding.
 * (Skipper):... So you're saying that Croker is SOMEHOW causing the plants to live half their average lifespan somehow?... Still don't see how that's relevant, but we'll have to take your word for it in case it DOES become relevant.
 * Lord Shen: You do that. Shen out. (Hangs up)
 * A Wooly Rhino-like being with a T-shaped horn was seen cleaning some of his guns as he was grumbling to himself.
 * Rhino-Being: "I swear, once of these dang days, that idjit Croker is gonna done get us all plumb killed. Well once I teach them buggies a lesson, I'm gonna walk over there and blow that monkey's head CLEAN-OFF!? BANG!? No more Croker!? (Hillbilly laughter)?!"
 * Skipper: (The group approaches the armory, disturbed when overhearing his laughter)...Uh...Jakoon-- (Suddenly, rapid-fire blasts came out the door as the Rhino-Being screamed crazily)
 * Rhino-Being: GO AWAY, YOU FILTHY BUGS BEFORE I BLOW YOUR HEADS CLEAN OFF!! THAT'S A DAMN BODY PART EVEN YOU CAN'T GROW BACK!!!
 * Po: Somebody do something, THIS GUY'S CRAZY!!!
 * Shifu: JAKOON, HOLD YOUR FIRE!!! WE'RE HERE TO HELP!!!
 * Jakoon: AND HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU?!?
 * Monkey: IF WE WERE HERE TO KILL YOU, YOU WOULDN'T BE TALKING RIGHT NOW!! PUT THE GUN DOWN!!
 * Spyro:...(Uses his Earth ability to knock Jakoon to the floor and drops his gun, as Shifu kicked it away as he tried to reach it)
 * Cynder: Calm down, Jakoon. We're friends.
 * Jakoon: Hmmph, you must be when you've got the balls to knock me off my feet. (Gets up) So who are you party animals supposed to be?
 * Skipper: We're from the Shell Lodge Squad, the saviors who helped put an end to the Villains Act 5 years ago.
 * Jakoon: Well, you sure look like it. I hardly even recognize animals like you. (Grabs his gun) I'm telling you, that full frontal assault those filthy bugs caused on this place was brutal. We had to evacuate most of the staff.
 * Skipper: Apparently. You had to hog all the weapons in the place for yourself when you could've just lend some to those who could use them.
 * Jakoon: (Blows menacingly) Strong talk from a small fry in a tuxedo. Many of these unlucky saps don't even know how to hold an electroshock spear safely.
 * Private: What about those who COULD? (Jakoon looked at him viciously and scared him)
 * Jakoon: They're more than capable of protecting themselves, even WITHOUT guns.
 * Skipper: Wow, Chokera wasn't kidding when she said you were paranoid.
 * Jakoon: "Pfft! You see paranioda, I call it self-preservation and survivalist attatude."
 * Spyro: "Then what was with this plan to kill Croker?"
 * Jakoon stared surprised.
 * Jakoon: "..... You heard that huh? That was just anger talk. I may be a survivalist, but I know what the laws of the civilised life is. I'm not like those bugs! I am just being PISSED Croker is still allowing this mess to accure and not giving them what they want already!?"
 * Spyro: "Shutting down the prisons?"
 * Jakoon: "Yeah. Croker thinks doing that is like setting them free. Oh, like we're actselly stupid enough to make Oranos the only prison in existence. We could always just send them to normal prisons. What's, the difference?"
 * Crane: "But wasn't there reason why the prisoners of Oranos were brought here and not normal prisons? Like, because normal prisons can't properly and adiquitly contain these people?"
 * Tigress: "Like, their magic powers, super-intelliegnce, connections to powerful forces, sciencetific enhancements, those sort of things?"
 * Jakoon: "Details details. They'd still be in jail, would they?"
 * Spyro: "But in cells meant for the average criminal. They won't properly contain Oranos Prisoners."
 * Jakoon: "Sheesh. Your just as stubburn about this as Croker. He's only risking the bugs to only resort to extremes. I seen the warnings. What they did to the robots, they'll soon start doing that to US! I know my tribal lingo, I once co-insided with the Kanamoonian tribe who practice simular tactics in my tribal surviveal quests. When tehy deal with enemys, they always cut off the head of robots or pets to warn the fate of their enemies if they don't comply! If that warning's ignored.... Well, expect those spiked staffs to start to become much more, organic by wither tomorrow or a few days after, if ya catch my drift."
 * Spyro: "So you know what these things are like?"
 * Jakoon: "Oh yeah. These bugs have alot of simular sytiles to the tribes I encountered. The co-operation of the Kleenies, the war tactics of the Manzamoso, the colony system of... Well, pretty much any bug-hive colony, give or take key differences. The slavery lifesytile of the Koonkoon. And the agracurture of the Plantmorians. I suspect these bugs are, omivores. They normally enjoy plants more, but... I suspect because that jackass Croker is assumingly mess with their food supply, they might start to consider meat soon enough!"
 * Mantis: "Oh boy. These things believe in slavery and are cross-eaters."
 * Spyro: "Did Croker do something to the planet that is upseting them?"
 * Jakoon: "Well, it could be a number of things. The bugs could be afraid that we outsiders might be apolluten their world. Maybe they're intimidated by our buildings and noisy rides. Maybe Croker disturbed some sacred ritual ground or holy land, or a beloved burial ground. Maybe they're just being jerks. Or, based on what I believe in, they think we're a threat to their survival and had declared a survival war on us."
 * Private: "What's a "Survival War"?"
 * Jakoon: "Basicly, a litteral war for survival. It's a war that desides the fate of the fueding spieces. And in a way, we're in one. Like any stranger-cautious tribe, these bugs seem to assume that anything different is a threat unless they know for 100% that the new thing won't result in their extintion. These things basicly think that a bunch of prisons are gonna lead to their armagotten."
 * Po: "Well, thing is, Plantis said that her plants are dying and is baseing that on what could be the shource of why they're acting like this. Something about "Corruption" and stuff."
 * Jakoon donned a concerned face.
 * Jakoon: ".... Oh no. That means these things legitamently think we ARE somehow a threat to them?! If something is damn wrong with their flora, and they blamed us for it, and somehow is argueabily justifived, then WE'RE IN TROUBLE, PEOPLE?! Let's be honest, people, the only reason this war is even going on at all is because of those stupid prisons?! I vote we get rid of Croker and shut down the prisons?! By that, the war would end and the creatures would leave us alone!"
 * Skipper: "Let's not go THAT extreme, buddy."
 * Spyro: "Indeed. We should try to find a compromise beween this "war"."
 * Jakoon: "Why not? Strex in the training hall already had the right idea. What's wrong with following his exsample?"
 * Kowalski: Look, pal, I can REALLY agree that having these prisons shut down will solve many, MANY problems! There are ways to balance these things out.
 * Tigress: Besides, Chokera claims she has been working on a solution.
 * Jakoon: Oh, yeah, those silly rumors that Chokera thinks she's smart enough to solve these creatures' crisis. IM-F******-POSSIBLE!!
 * Shifu: Nothing is impossible.
 * Jakoon: But THIS is. We've tried everything we could to calm those beasts down. All they did was kidnap, crucify, and destroy. I swear, if Strex doesn't do SOMETHING, we're all gonna have our heads on sticks, and the Matriarch will have me stuffed.
 * Po: Look, Chokera's a nice girl. How can you doubt her? Has she ever stirred you wrong?
 * Jakoon: No, but in a situation like this, I don't think she knows what she's doing.
 * Cynder: We trust her. She has a scientist by her side, so she's gotta be doing something scientific in order to fix this mess.
 * Jakoon: Like what?
 * Spyro: How should we know? She's the one behind it, not us.
 * Skipper: Look, Jakoon, we're going to get to the bottom of this ASAP. We could surely use someone of your magnitude to assist in this cause. So are you in, or are you... Spineless?
 * Jakoon: (Grabs Skipper by the throat) Oh, I'M spineless? We'll see who's spineless when I rip it out of your body like styrofoam.
 * Kowalski: Whoa, whoa, easy there, tough guy. We were just asking if you wanted to join us? You won't have to worry about being stuffed by the Cryonoids if you lend a helping hand.
 * Jakoon:... Hmmph, you're lucky that spineless comment gave me the guts to stop being a puss-out. I'll fight for whatever Chokera has planned, or die trying.
 * Skipper: That's the spirit, soldier.
 * Jakoon: DON'T PUSH IT, TINY!! Wait, where is Chokera anyway?
 * Spyro: "She went to find Strex."
 * Jakoon: "..... She's not alone, is she? I have a itching suspition there's some scouts about looking for easy prey."
 * Shifu: "Don't worry, another group is accompinied her."
 * A semi-armored and robed Naroudan leader with a cybernetic left arm stood before alot of guards.
 * Naroudan Leader: "CROKER'S STUPIDITY IS GONNA BE THE DEATH OF US!? Already, another base is destroyed by the Oranian creatures, and Croker STILL refuses to take this seriously. I have enough!? I call for a mutiny! Croker must be brought down so we can find a way to reason with the creatures! It's not truely the Oranians fault for this, it's CROKER'S?!"
 * The Guards cheer for him and chant "Down with Croker"?!
 * Naroudan Leader: "No more will I be forced to be a second-hand to that class-act disgrace of our kind?! No more will the suffering of both sides be ignored in faver of keeping a few buildings up?! NO MORE SECRETS!? RAISE YOUR WEAPONS IN REBELION, MY FRIENDS?! CROKER MUST PAY?!" (The guards cheered)
 * Chokera: (Bursts in with some of the Lodgers and the Heroes Act) SILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNCE!!! (The word echoes loudly)
 * Naroudan Leader: AAHHGGHHH!! CHOKERA, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BURNING MY EARHOLES?!? YOU KNOW YOUR SCREAMS CAN AGGRAVATE MY EARS, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M GETTING OLD AND THIS HALL ECHOES SO MUCH!!!
 * Chokera: General Strex, as warden, I command that you stand down immediately before you make things worse for both sides.
 * Strex: No! I've put up with your father's crap for too long to stop now! If I don't do something about Croker, nobody will! SOMEBODY HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT OUTRAGEOUS IDIOT!!
 * Shrek: Look, pal, I'm sure you've already heard about Chokera's plan to fix this herself. You don't need to do anything crazy to get it done faster.
 * Strex:...Oh, you think I don't know about Chokera's plans? Well, news flash, I've known all along. That's why I intend to take advantage of it.
 * Chokera: YOU WHAT?!?
 * Strex: That's right. I know you're planning something big, and I mean literally. The work your scientists are doing on these prisons are supposed to be affecting the prisons themselves. And I think I may know what it is.
 * Chokera: You...you do?
 * Strex: That's right...you're planning to destroy these prisons, and blow them sky high! You are a noble girl, Chokera. That's why as soon as I take over, I'm going to destroy them personally. All 60 of the penal colonies of this blackwater planet will be decimated, and those bugs will no longer have our heads on sticks.
 * Chokera: THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M DOING!! I'M NOT AS CRAZY AS YOU!!!
 * Strex: Is that so? Then tell me what it is, then!
 * Chokera: I can't!
 * Strex: Why not? Are you afraid I'm going to tell your father?...Come to think of it, he doesn't know, does he?
 * Chokera:...No.
 * Strex: Well, I'm pretty sure he should. If you're planning something to fix this, I think he should know.
 * Chokera: Strex, don't you dare!
 * Strex: I'm DONE taking orders, young lady! This revolt is going as planned whether you like it or not! Guards, arrest them! (The guards attack, but Puss does something quick)
 * Puss: Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk! (The guards were shocked) You make the Lodge angry. YOU NO WANT TO MAKE THE LODGE ANGRY! (Shows claws as the guards' pants fell to pieces)
 * Rita: Look, pal, we're against Croker just as much as you are, but a revolt and a plan to blow this place up isn't the answer. It's going to make you look as senseless as he is.
 * Strex: Don't you EVER talk to me like that, you wretched mutt! This is all for the good of this planet. Those Cryonoids are going to keep attacking unless something is done. And I'm through with waiting for that to happen.
 * Chokera: Strex, I'm ordering you to stop this now! You're not hurting anyone!
 * Strex: Yeah? And who's gonna stop me? (Snaps, and the guards, and a few of the drones from earlier, as well as some Desolators, appear and hold the group at gunpoint) I'm not going to let ANY of you fools botch this up any longer. This must be done! Take them away!
 * Puss: Trust me, amigo, you do NOT wanna cross the Shell Lodge. If we can take down an entire villain group, you sure as hell should know what we can do. This is your last chance to cease this madness!
 * Strex: I have nothing further to say. I must get started. Disable them! (The guards try to disable them, but they are able to disorientate the guards, and Magnum freezes the drones in their place)... What?!?
 * Chokera:... Well, Strex, I am VERY disappointed in you for defying orders.
 * Strex: "..... Chokera, please, I, I am only doing this to protect everyone from dishastor!? Croker is gonna doom us all!?"
 * Chokera: "Well, let me be clear on something. I AM NOT GONNA BLOW THE PRISONS UP!? What do you take me for, an extremeist?"
 * Strex: "..... Well you could've just said so. Ok, fine. Your not gonna blow the prisons up, whatever. Croker's still going down! And nothing is gonna stop me. Not even the cryos?!"
 * A hiss and a faint buzz was heard.
 * Puss: "..... Those do NOT sound like good sounds."
 * A Silluetted caped figure landed in a other end of the hallway!
 * Caped Figure: "..... (Hiss). Ssssssssssssssssstrex."
 * Strex: "Wh-wha-what?"
 * Caped Figure: "Your actions are UNFORGIVEABLE?!"
 * Strex: "...... Wait, please, I, I was doing it to bring peace for us both and-"
 * Caped Figure: "ALL YOU DID WAS MADE THE POD EVEN SICKER?! YOU, MUST PAY?!"
 * The Caped Figured breathed ice on Strex!?
 * Strex: "AGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
 * Strex turned into a complete ice figure.
 * The ground around him began to sink Strex in!
 * The Figure vanisged into the darkness.
 * The Ground swallows Strex whole.
 * Cifton: "......... Oh, shit. And I think we've just met our creatures.... Well, one of them."
 * Chokera: "...... I think, we need to alarm the groups.... I think Strex inadvertingly made it worse!"

Chapter 3: A Stunning Discovery
One of the Hracs. Underground. Further down the Tunnel. On top!
 * Gilda and Trixie stayed on the Hrac while the unfrozen guards look out for trouble.
 * Gilda's communicater acted up.
 * Gilda: "(Answering it) Gilds' here."
 * (Chokera): "I don't want to alarm everyone, but, one of the survivers got nabbed by the Cryos. I think Strex's bad attatude was too much for them and now they are on the offenive. Get the Hracs ready! We're taking the remaining survivers to them and we are getting out of here as quickly as we can!"
 * Gilda: "Got ya."
 * Trixie: "...... THE, THE CREATURES ARE ATTACKING!?"
 * Gilda: "Aw shit, you heard it, did you?!"
 * Trixie: "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES?!"
 * Trixie jumps off the Hrac and runs!
 * Gilda: "TRIX?! YOU GUYS, HELP ME CATCH MY HORSE?!" (They turn the Hrac around and pursue Trixie)
 * Trixie: I don't wanna die! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!! SOMEBODY HELP US!!!
 * Gilda: (The Hrac gets in front of her) Trixie, you can't just go running out into the snow! You're going to freeze out here!
 * Guard #1: Not that it matters because we've got healing tanks to help you recover from such a thing.
 * Trixie: No! I'm done! Why can't we just go home?!? We were only coming here to drop off some tyrant anyway!
 * Gilda: Trixie, Lord Shen said--
 * Trixie: F*** WHAT LORD SHEN SAID!! I AM NOT GOING TO STAND AROUND AND WAIT FOR SOME BUGS TO HAVE ME CRUCIFIED!!! I WANNA GO HOME AND WATCH MY SOOOOAAA-HO-HO-HO-HOOOAAAAPPS!!!
 * Trixie started to stomp about like a whiney spoiled brat as fragle looking ground looked as if it was about to cave!
 * Gilda: "Trix, look out!? Your about to-"
 * The ground gave in and Trixie fell in screaming!?
 * Gilda: "TRIX?!"
 * Guard 2: "Careful! I think the poor gal found a formerly secluded Cryo hole!"
 * Gilda: "...... Oh, shit!?"
 * Trixie slided in and trumbled about!
 * Trixie crashed into a wall!
 * Trixie: "OOF!? Ow!"
 * Trixie came through and saw she was in a tunnel.
 * Trixie was hyperventlating.
 * Trixie started to hear voices.
 * Trixie followed them nervious down a tunnel.
 * Trixie hid as two figures and the same caped figure were seen with Strex's frozen body.
 * Figure 1: "So, your highness. What we to do with him?"
 * Caped Figure: ".... As mother said. We take Strex back with us to the colonay and turn him into a slave. Make an exsample of him."
 * Figure 2: "No offence old friend, but I don't think this exsample is gonna get the guy to notice, let alone, the other ones."
 * Caped Figure: "I know, Jeelor, but it's the best we can do for now until the elders ok our right to, you know...."
 * Figure 1: "Well, the sooner the better, your highness. It's obvious these outsiders only understand violence anyway, considering what they're doing to their sinned ones. So maybe violence will get them to leave."
 * Caped Figure: "This is why the elders haven't approved of it yet. Behavior like that is what droved the anti-war shaman to do what he did to the pod to make all our clans and colonies unite, Kringer."
 * Figure 1 (Kringer): "I know, I know. I'm just saying, bud. I'm not sure if outsiders are even remotely reasonable."
 * Figure 2 (Jeelor): "I don't like it as much as you do, young prince, neither does the Matriarch, but.... You seen the pod. We might have no choice. Soon, it won't be just the metal creatures we're placing their heads on warning staffs."
 * Trixie gulped.
 * Caped Figure: "I don't like it either. But we must believe that this is purely the fault of the arrigant outsider leader "Warden Croker". He'd drove us into this."
 * Kringer/Jeelor: "Indeed."
 * Caped Figure: "But I may have one more way to finally get to the leader outsider. The scouts have seen his daughter "Chokera". They say she is most unsuppertive of his beliefs."
 * Kringer: "Seems bleeding obvious that alot of the outsiders don't support that hairy freak."
 * Caped Figure: "Yes, but she's even more so. She's even against violence used on the sinned ones. She's against violence over all. Her disapproval of this outsider rebeler is proof of it. Mother needs to be able to meet her. There's been talk she plans to do something to the sinned one buildings."
 * Jeelor: "I don't know. Remember when the reports came in that Croker reacted very negitively when some sinned ones escaped and kidnap the girl? He might end up more dangerious."
 * Caped Figure: "Neither I or my mother are afraid of him. If he tries anything, we'll be ready. Tell the soldiers to collect Chokera. Capture anyone who interfears."
 * The two saluted.
 * Trixie tried to slowly escape, but bumped into a figure.
 * Female voice: "Hasn't anyone told you it's not nice to ease-drop, outsider?"
 * Trixie gulped, and looked up to see another figure stareing back at her.
 * Trixie screamed and ran away!
 * The caped figure and his still silluetted friends came in!
 * Caped Figure: "Maseen, what happened?!"
 * Figure 3 (Maseen, still silluette): "A VERY unlucky outsider was ease-droping!"
 * Caped Figure: "By the gods of ice! Don't worry! It doesn't know our tunnels like we do! We need to capture the outsider before the outsider eventally escapes! Come on!"
 * The figures charged forth to where Trixie went!
 * Gilda: "This is the hole Trixie fell down in!"
 * Chokera: ".... Aw, gees. Besser, I want you and the guys to handle evacuating the survivers for me. We have a new rescue mission."
 * Besser: I'm already on it.
 * Gilda: Is Trixie gonna be okay?
 * Chokera: Well, judging by the fact that intruders are captured and made slaves, your blue lony-like friend is going to end up a slave herself.
 * Donkey: We can't let them do that!
 * Chokera: Well, that's why we're all going down there and saving her.
 * SpongeBob: Are you serious? What if we get overwhelmed?
 * Chokera: It's worth getting captured if it means saving your ally.
 * Magnum: Besides, as a member of a therapist species, I think I'm more than capable of negotiating with the Matriarch.
 * Chokera: Oh, I wouldn't get too carried away. The shamans and charwomen are capable of nullifying or making others resist magic spells or tricks such as your hypnotism. If you intend to use magic against them, you won't be so lucky.
 * Merlin: Well, blast. I hate it when magic isn't a factor here.
 * Samantha: What, did you think you could solve EVERYTHING with just a simple magic spell? Even Magelioans know that magic isn't supposed to be abused like that. Magic may not be explainable and can seem unlimited, but even MAGIC has limits. It's a simple Magelioan philosophy. If you use magic to solve every problem you get involved in, then you make yourself look too desperate, unwise, and INCREDIBLY lazy. There was this senator on Magelio long ago who once used magic to solve every single problem that rose. People needed food, he magically created some for them. Someone needs a home, he magically creates one for them. When there's hostility or war, he just magically wipes it from everyone's memories and makes sure it never happened. His obscene laziness with magic is what cost him his job. He was disgraced for them, and was even shunned by his family. He was never accepted with another job, and died of homelessness.
 * Merlin:...You know, that is a good point. Why DO we use magic to solve our problems like this?
 * Sandy: Guys, guys, we made the producer mad once, let's NOT do it again, okay? Let's at least be thankful that MSM TRIES to find solutions outside of magic spells. Besides, we've got a job to do. Trixie's probably screamin' her head off louder than a coyote with a run-over tail.
 * Chokera: Well, if we're gonna go in there, we need to be careful. As I said, the Cryonoids don't take kindly to intruders. So if we're going to reason with them, we need to be careful.
 * Gilda: I sure hope that Matriarch isn't THAT hostile.
 * Icky: "Depends, on a scale from one to ten, how agressive a matriarch of a group of ice bugs would be if there's a food crisis and the closest you have to blame are abunch of weirdo aliens who build stuff of the planet without your ok?"
 * Chokera: I imagine it's risky and very ballsy, but we have to see her. I can tell that, given Strex's actions, there might be others who will try and force the issue to close unless we do it the right way. And that might mean taking it up to the Matriarch herself.
 * Donkey: You sure that's a good idea?
 * Shrek: Look, I trust Chokera good enough with this idea no matter how risky it is. Besides, if things get too serious, I'm sure we can handle it even without magic.
 * Chokera: So... Who's going to go down first? (Several Cryonoids appeared behind her as everyone panicked at seeing them)... What? (The Cryonoids chittered behind her)... There's some Cryonoids right behind me, isn't there? (Looks to see them)..... Wow, really? We didn't even get to last five seconds? I know you guys work quick, but come on, at least have the sporting decenty to let us properly prepa- (The Cryonoids blast their ice breath on the heroes as everything goes white)

Chapter 4: The Cryonoids
Later... Slave Room. Several hours later
 * Icky: (He and the other heroes are seen frozen as Icky's beak was the only part of him that wasn't frozen and he was still able to talk, and the Cryonoids carried them like ants) Oh, how wonderful! We decide to talk with the Matriarch only to get frozen stiff and captured. And on top of it, I get the cartoony unfrozen break treatment! Look, crusty-arms, we mean you no harm, and... Oh, yeah, you guys are tribal. Uh... We Shell Lodgers! Me Icky! We mean no harm. We wish to speak to Matriarch!
 * Cryonoid #1: Geez, don't you EVER shut up? And why are you talking like that? You spoke perfectly before, genius!
 * Icky: Wait... You speak proper English?
 * Cryonoid #2: English? Don't you mean Usablothian?
 * Icky: English is what we call it in OUR worlds! Geez, these worlds need to get more accustomed to our worlds. Now, tell us where you're taking us!
 * Cryonoid #3: The same place we take all intruders! We take them to the slave trade room.
 * Icky: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, DUDE, THERE'S NO NEED FOR SLAVERY!! We just need to speak to the Matriarch.
 * Cryonoid #2: You don't talk to the Matriarch unless Prince Maglus says so, feathers! So shut that beak up before we freeze it shut.
 * Icky: Well, can we at least talk to the prince then, genius?
 * Cryonoid #1: Slaves don't get to do anything around here. They're not worth squat except for hard, HARD work!
 * Icky: Look, you icy bastard! We only came here to talk to the Matriarch, and we're not doing ANYTHING else unless we do so. Now let us go!
 * Cryonoid 1: "Look, bird brain, the only outsider who gets the see the Matriarch is the monkey lady! The rest of you are heading the slave room unless Maglus said otherwise."
 * Icky: "Ah, good grief.... Could you guys at least explain to me HOW you guys were able to speak proper english?"
 * Cryoniod 2: "If you mean how we speak Usablothian, it got like this when we found and took in two of your metal creatures: We call them "The Teachers", but you outsiders refered to them as "Pc-O3" and "2R-2D"."
 * Icky: "...... Wait...... "Pc-O3" and "2R-2D"? That sounds like backwords names for C-3po and R2-D2."
 * Cryoniod 2: "Wow ya talk too much! See Kragbor, I told ya we should've iced his beak!"
 * Cryoniod 1: "Well EXCUSE ME for thinking that the ice was strong enough to keep his beak shut without additional ice! We obviously need to fix that now, Bushina."
 * Icky: "Wait-wait-wait-wait-WAIT?!"
 * Kragor and Bushina forze Icky's beak.
 * The Heroes but Chokera are placed in the room.
 * Kragor: ".... The fire will melt them out eventally. Just in time for the Prince to see them."
 * Kragor and Bushina left with Chokera.
 * The heroes eventally thawed out.
 * Samantha: "..... Well, perhaps I now regret more or less about protesting using magic to slove all problems. Lazy or not, I would've liked to be able prevent this situation."
 * Magnum: "It wouldn't help much anyway. They would've gotten us eventally."
 * ???: "Oh dear, you folks got captured two?"
 * ??? 2: "Then TRUELY these insects are beyond challnaging adversaries."
 * The Heroes looked to see Caera and General Tex.
 * Gilda: "Oh hey, it's Caera!"
 * Hudson: "Oh, hey Tex. They got you two, huh?"
 * Tex: "Yes, my grevious misfortune that they commited a raid on the prison I was in when it was during lunch when some of us were exposed."
 * Caera: "They captured me because I dared to stand up to them. And this was my punishment. My capture was, fairly recent."
 * Icky: "Well, they caught us in.... In a totally badass epic battle and we were kicking some serious ass! Oh yeah, they only captured us because they got lucky.... And had huge numbers."
 * Hudson: "But we got ambushed at the base of one of their exposed enterences before we got to do any-"
 * Icky: "AW MAN, I WAS TRYING TO SAVE US FROM EMBARRISMENT?!"
 * Hudson: ".... Oops. In my defence, mom raised me to be honest."
 * Tex: "Besides, the attempt wouldn't work. We heard some guards talking about a group of outsiders they just captured before they had the chance to intrude."
 * Icky: ".... Wouldn't work either way, huh?"
 * Caera: "I can also know when one is lair ever since my, encounter, with Lady Starlight. I already know you were lying to avoid embarrisment."
 * Tex: "You also delayed for a moment. That's another commen tell for a fib."
 * Icky: ".... Well, crappers. Well, might as well tell ya guys about what happened. Firstly, I just found out that these guys spoke perfect english because-"
 * Tex: "Of legendary centauries lost service droids, Pc-O3 and 2R--2D. That much myself and lady Caera already known."
 * Gilda: ".... Why do those names sound like backwords versons for C3Po and R2-D2?"
