Cyberchase: When Worlds Collide [On Hold]

A Fortress Long Forgotten

"So you all fight for fun?" Digit asked, still confused.

"Pretty much!" Scout grinned. "Well, when we're not on duty fighting the BLU team."

Suddenly, Demoman’s voice boomed across the fortress, cutting through the silence. "WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL?"

The group froze, alarmed, and followed his outstretched finger. In the distance, a swirling vortex appeared in the sky, crackling with energy. Its edges were glowing a deep, unsettling purple.

The air around it shimmered with power as lightning flashed within the vortex, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.

Before anyone could fully comprehend what was happening, massive robots began emerging from the swirling vortex. Their heavy, metallic bodies gleamed in the dim light, and they landed with earth-shattering thuds, causing the ground to tremble beneath them.

Behind the giants, a smaller army of Zachbots followed, marching forward in perfect formation, each one armed and ready for confrontation.

Perched on the shoulder of one of the largest robots, two familiar figures came into view. The group squinted to get a better look, their jaws dropping in shock.

"Tobey?! Mr. Big?!" WordGirl gasped, her voice filled with disbelief.

Tobey was just as shocked when he spotted WordGirl and the others. "WordGirl?! Cybersquad?!" He exclaimed in surprise.

Mr. Big, standing tall beside him, sneered down at the group. "What are you doing here?" His voice was dripping with disdain.

"Never mind them! Robits, ATTACK!" Tobey commanded, his voice sharp and filled with authority.

The robots sprung into action, their heavy footsteps shaking the ground as they moved toward the group. The air was filled with the sounds of clanking metal and the hum of powerful engines, and before long, chaos erupted.

"Split up!" Soldier barked. "We’ll hold them off! The rest of you, find that crystal!"

Without hesitation, the group quickly divided. Half stayed behind to face the robotic onslaught, while the others raced toward the inner parts of the fortress, hoping to locate the crystal.

The RED Team immediately sprang into action. With a battle cry, they raised their weapons and began firing at the advancing mechanical army.

Scout darted between the towering robots, delivering quick blows, while Demoman tossed explosives that sent smaller Zachbots flying.

Despite their efforts, Tobey’s larger robots were proving to be quite the force. Their reinforced bodies absorbed the attacks as if they were nothing, and their retaliations sent the team scrambling.

Meanwhile, WordGirl was facing her own battle. Normally, she could take down Tobey’s robots easily, but these were different.

They were tougher, stronger, and faster. Their titanium bodies barely budged under her powerful punches. After a lot of effort, she finally knocked one down, its giant frame crashing to the ground with a loud crash.

She landed next to it, breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from her brow. As she looked around, her eyes locked onto Mr. Big, who stood at the edge of the battlefield, a smug grin on his face. He was holding a sleek ray gun, its barrel glowing with a sickly red light.

WordGirl’s heart sank. Lexonite.

Almost immediately, her strength drained away, but it felt different from the times before. Every move felt like a struggle. She clenched her fists and glared at Mr. Big, who was clearly enjoying her struggle.
