"Are you seriously telling us that Hydra is still alive?" questioned Crash.

"Yes. He will come back in an hour. We need to build that gauntlet asap before he arrives, the gauntlet could be our last option of defeating him." Flame 1 explained, as he looks at Crash with a serious and confident look on his face.

"Bit of a problem, the stones, didn't we have only one stone out of the six?" Tiger pointed out.

"That is a good question, it's possible that the villains could have the one last stone." Rush said.

"You might be on the right track, Rush. Only person I know who would want that last stone is the doctor." Nion corrected.

"Wait, doctor? As in, Doctor Tyranus?" They all looked at him when he said that, it is true that Dr Tyranus joined sides with his world's Flame during the apocalypse of corruption. Flame 1 is completely shocked to hear the doctor he knows still has his original name, "You know him?" asked Flame 1.

"I do, in fact, he helped me and my other friends through our journey to stop the villain we had to face. It was hell." L50 explained, It went silent, 10 seconds of silence. Crash is impressed considering he used to be the one that doubted Tyranus being evil back then. It brings back memories when Tyranus went crazy and became the man he now is.

"I have... no words to say. Utterly shocked." Nion said.

"I am even more surprised he is a good guy in your world." marveled Rush.

"The T-Tyranus in y-your world is not?" questioned Yuri.

It was a complex question for them to answer properly. It was no easy answer as Flame remembers meeting his parents years ago, he feels bad for himself and Tyranus to see him go through much pain. Future Flame still remembers the one he has to face when protecting Lucina. They all nod, to Yuri and L50 surprise, for an answer, "It's complicated. The best we can answer is yes, he isn't like your Tyranus, and goes with a different name."

"Like what?" she asked.

"He goes by Mr. Roboman, thanks to Flame of course." Rush remarked.

A strange name for Tyranus to pick. L50 found it weird, he thought the name would be Intimidating and fierce. Yuri doesn't know how to respond to it, but she could agree with her boyfriend. Flame 1 chuckles a bit hearing this.

"Ahem. A weird name, sure, but the GAUNTLET! Can we start building it?" Flame 3 asked the others.

"Is this how you do your meetings?" Flame's 1 older brother questioned.

"No, this is his first." Crash answered.

"He's right, the blueprint was completed, so we should have no problem making it." Tiger said.

"Isn't most of the technology here is from Roger?" Sinon asked.

"I don't know, is it?"

"I'll start with getting the blueprint ready, don't we have all the materials we need?" Rush nodded to what Nion asked. He ran to the lab just to get the blueprint for the gauntlet, Crash couldn't believe they are doing this, he believes it would be impossible to do with Hydra coming back. Tiger assures Sinon that everything is going to be okay. The three Flames look at each other for a moment, it only took Rush a few seconds to get back with the blueprint, he unrolls the blueprint that shows the gauntlet that they are going to make, "Alright! I am back! This blueprint is here."

"Excellent, now with that, we can resume with our new mission: Restoring what is lost and stopping Hydra." Nion announced.

"I like that goal, we can win this! I just know we can." Future Flame, or Flame 2 likes the positive attitude from Lucina as he smiles at her. Lord Kai sees the blueprint for a moment, as a god with millions of experiences, he thought this was the human's method to build or structure things.

"How long do you think this will be done?" inquired Kai.

"I don't know, my estimated guess will be 46 minutes." answered Crash.

"We can't waste time everyone! Let's get it going!" Flame 3 hollered.

"Like he said, let's get that gauntlet and bring back everyone, even my dear sister." proclaimed Tiger. 20 minutes have passed. Crash, Nion, and Future Flame are helping each other make the gauntlet, the gauntlet is only completed to the wrist and are now going to do the hands and the fingers. The remaining infinity stones they have are placed in the table, Flame 1 was mentally training in his mind, and Flame 3 was throwing punching air to practice his hand to hand combat. The others are just relaxing or training in the other rooms.

Lord Kai was just watching Flame 3 practicing his hand to hand combat, he wasn't too impressed by the looks of it. It's like one of those moves you would see in television or movies, as Flame 3 is about to strike one punch, Kai blocks that punch with one finger. In surprise, he can feel the pressure of that force, Kai chuckles from the look on his face, "You need training, Flame 3."

"What do you mean by training? I am training by myself, I like it better this way." Flame 3 argued as he crossed his arms.

"You are unskilled, but doing that isn't going to improve your skills."

"You sound like a dad.."

"Don't give me that attitude, no matter which Flame I am talking to, I'll give in the same respect as my Flame."

While Kai isn't as wise as his father, he is still using his father's wisdom to prove himself to be a better brother.

"And your point is?"

"You may be a Flame, but you lack the skills from any Flame I've known. It is incredibly flawed in every way. Let me show you the basics."

"Just go easy on me, okay?" With that being said, Lord Kai shows the basics of hand to hand combat, the movement was simple and straightforward. To Flame's 3 surprise, the movement was incredible to his eyes, something he had never seen before. The combat was unique, it was something different from those punches, kicks, and all the things he should know the basics of.

"Remember those basics. These can help you in combat, focus on your opponent's strength and weaknesses, use your strength to find their weaknesses. If you want more training from me, I'll be happy and glad to assist you." Kai explained. Flame 3 understands those basics and needs to keep on training to get better, he remembers what happened to him and General Gunnolf, it didn't go well. Tiger is very impressed by Kai's basic hand to hand combat, a being like him training Flame 3 is unexpected from any god.

"Do you think.. I am good like the other Flame's?" fretted Flame 3. Flame's 1 older brother can see the change of tone and expression of the inexperienced Flame. Flame 3 isn't the strongest physically compared to others, there isn't any much positive he can think of to cheer him up. He put his hand to his shoulder and looked at him.

"Flame 3.. no matter what Flame I see, I always see high potential in them. You have a lot in you then you believe, you are strong in your own rights. Don't you damn forget that."

Hearing this, he smiled a bit, he never had a brother nor had any memory of his family. He hugs him tightly, Kai hugs back, he sees him like a younger brother who needs more love. It reminded him of his Flame when he was pretty young, a determined yet cocky hedgehog. L50 smiles at this moment.

"You know.. me and my sister don't have the best history, in fact.. I sometimes feel dumb around anyone. I may not be the strongest but I know I am pretty strong as well! And same as you, Flame. No matter which Flame, any Flame is strong." Tiger said.

Meanwhile, it has been 10 minutes and the gauntlet is almost completed. The progress is doing alright. While Flame 3 and Lord Kai are training a bit, Crash decides to take a break from making the gauntlet, puts down the tools and begins to walk away, before he does. "Hey guys, I'll be right back. I.. I need some fresh air."

"You have done enough for this gauntlet, take a break, we'll remind you when the time arrives." Flame 1 reminded Crash.

"Right."

And so he walks outside of Roger's base. In Atlas, he can see everyone is safe in the kingdom, although he is not sure if this is a good thing or not. Crash senses another pressure coming, this time, it was a warning to him. He doesn't understand what it means, maybe it has something to do with his powers, he doesn't know.

Crash just looked at the sky up, he can't believe he made it this far. Going from a confused hero to villain to a hero to anti-hero, it was like time was changing to his point of view. Crash remembers what Blake's father has said to him awhile ago, he hopes everything will be better and get this chaos to be fixed.

"Hey Crash."

He looks and sees Blake Belladonna arrives beside him, she sits beside him.

"Oh, hey Blake. You arrive late."

"Sorry. Roger called us, and checked on you guys."

"Where is he anyways?"

"Talking with Ironwood."

"Oh. Well I hope it's something important."

"You're telling me."

"Can you see the sunset, Blake?"

"Yea? Why do you ask?"

"It's beautiful. This was the same sunset I remember when I first arrived on Earth, Rush told me all the things about my first arrival."

"That's sweet, it must be very important to you."

"It is. Whenever, all of this is done.. Are you available for a date?" She blushes pink. It has been a long while since she has heard that before, Crash chuckled. Blake smiles, she really hopes this works out for the two.
