"And... there! Good as new!" Engineer announced with a proud grin, finishing up the repairs on the remote. He handed it back to Stewie, wiping his hands on a rag.

"I even added this nifty navigation feature. All ya need to do is type your destination on the screen and press the button. It should take you right where you need to go!"

"Brilliant!" Stewie exclaimed, tapping the screen with admiration. "You, sir, are perhaps the only person here who truly understands genius."

Sniper stepped forward, his eyes scanning the group with a thoughtful gaze. “You sure you’re ready to leave? You’ve got a talent for diving headfirst into danger.”

"Yeah, I’ve still got a lot to teach you!" Soldier added, his voice filled with excitement. "Your combat skills need work before you’re ready to take on the battlefield!"

“We told you already, we don’t have time for that!” Matt interrupted, his voice urgent. "Hacker might already be closer to the crystal than we think!"

“Or worse,” Digit added, his wings flapping nervously. "What if he already HAS the next crystal and is heading for the last one? What if he's got all of them by now?!"

"Didge, calm down," Jackie said, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "We can’t panic right now. We need to stay focused."

Digit nodded shakily, taking deep breaths. “Thanks, Jackie,” he said with a small smile. "I needed that."

"Anytime," she replied, giving him a warm smile.

"Alright, enough of this! We need to get moving!" Stewie declared, his sharp tone cutting through the tension.

"In that case, we’re coming too!" Soldier proclaimed boldly, stepping forward and striking a heroic pose.

"Wait, really?" Inez asked, surprised. "You’re still insisting on coming with us?"

"From what we’ve seen, you could definitely use our expertise," Spy said coolly, his arms crossed.

"Yeah!" Scout added with enthusiasm. "You’ve got guts, but sometimes you need muscle to back it up. We'll have your backs for when things get rough!"

"But I thought we agreed to solve this peacefully," WordGirl said firmly, her arms crossed. "We’re not here to hurt Hacker—or anyone else. We just need to stop him from getting the last two crystals."

Spy raised an eyebrow. "Peaceful resolutions are lovely, mademoiselle, but do you truly think someone like Hacker will listen? He’s as crafty as zey come."

"Besides," Soldier interjected, "sometimes you’ve gotta show the enemy who’s in charge! Even if it means getting your hands dirty!"

WordGirl stood her ground, shaking her head. "That might be your way of handling things, but we’re not looking to fight unless we have to. There’s always another way."

Scout scratched his head awkwardly. "Okay, okay, we get it. But if Hacker doesn’t want to play nice? You’ve gotta admit, it’d be nice to have us around just in case."

"Maybe we can compromise," Jackie suggested. "You guys can come along, but only step in if we’re in real danger. Deal?"

Soldier grumbled, but nodded. "Fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you when it comes to fighting!"

Stewie, who had been fiddling with the remote, looked up with a smirk. "Well, now that this riveting moral debate is over, can we get going before Hacker gets another crystal?"

"Stewie’s right!" Chris urged. "We need to act fast. There’s no telling how close Hacker is to the Third Crystal!"

"But do ve even know vhere ve're going?" Medic asked skeptically. "The third crystal could be anywhere!"
