At the mansion’s backyard, the team were waiting patiently for Ter and Voodood to return when Rainbow Dash impatiently asked,

“Why couldn’t Camo use his growth powers instead of having the two go out into the woods?”

Legend replied, “Camo says that it kills the thrill of gathering and besides, he only does it when we’re home.”

Rainbow chuckled, “Always likes to make things a challenge doesn’t he?” Legend nodded, “He also worries for Fluttershy’s safety when he told us about that thing they saw.”

Spike was sitting next to Rarity, looking out at the moonlight above the island. The light of the moon shined on her and saw that she was even more beautiful in the moonlight as if Luna's pony counterpart granted it to her. Spike asked,

“So what do think about this night so far?”

Rarity smiled, “It’s just fabulous, darling.” Spike sighed, “After being up in the air so many times, it’s nice to actually be on solid ground.”

Rarity placed her hand on Spike’s shoulder, “I can’t imagine what it feels like to sit in that airship for so long.” She noticed the airship’s tail fin sticking out from the the corner, “Although the emblem is quite…” She paused for a moment as Spike answered,

“Intimidating?” She nodded, “Yes, it looks intimidating.”

“The Emblem was created after the war to symbolize Echo Squadron as an elite squadron. It was added to the vertical stabilizer when the airship was acquired and modified into the Wings of Freedom.” That was Blaster-Tron that said that as the robot was standing by the grill.

Spike realized that they Ter and Voodood are not back as he checked his watch, “Where are those two? They should be back by now.”

Applejack approached, “Ah noticed Twilight entering the woods not too long ago.”

Camo was aware, “I noticed that she had that look of being in heat as well."

Dro asked the gardener, "Really?" But before any of them could respond, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard as the three mentioned characters sprinted back to the clearing, panting and trying to catch their breath. But they also brought one more person with them, someone that Spike encountered when he was Megaman, although trying to pretend that he didn't know her noticed,

“Wait, who are you?"

Indigo noticed, “I'm Indigo Zap, but we can introduce ourselves later! Something big is heading your way.”

Dro asked, "What do you mean that it's heading our way?" The girl was still panting as Legend spoke to Ter, “What happened?”

Ter asked, “You know the plant thing that Camo and Fluttershy talked about?”

Legend replied with a hint of worry, “Yeah…”
Blaster-Tron’s sensors went off as the robot spoke, “Alert: Unknown form of photosynthesis detected!"
Right on cue, the plant that they were talking about emerged from the forest while still carrying Lemon Zest in one of its tentacles as Ter pointed,

“It’s here!”

Camo looked in shock as his shock turned to anger as he clenched his fist as his vine whip appeared in his hand, “Not you again!”

Legend’s katanas emerged as he said, “Time to cut some weeds!”

Pinkie pointed out, “It’s actually ivy.” The plant lashed out at Legend as the leader of Echo Squadron dodged its attacks and landed a few hits on the menacing weed.

Spike and Sonata pulled out their blasters as they began shooting at the plant while making sure that a stray shot won't hit its captive. Spike stopped shooting, noticing that the others would be in danger should the creature attempt to grab anyone else, turned towards Twilight,

“Twi, get everyone inside before this thing tries to hit on anyone!”

The egghead nodded as she motioned everyone to get inside the mansion while the 6 members deal with this plant. But unfortunately, despite being a fast runner, Rainbow Dash wasn’t fast enough as the plant grabbed her by the leg as several other tentacles grabbed her arms and torso. The plant did the same thing with Lemon as they were at the mercy of this plant. Legend saw this and yelled,

“DASH!” Rainbow struggled against the plant, “I can’t...I can’t get loose! This thing is all over me!”

What happened next would shake the six members to their very core, the clothes of Rainbow and Lemon started to dissolve. It kept going until their breasts, and clits were visible as the bud opened to reveal more tentacles, the sight of this made the six fighters recoil from seeing it. The mass of appendages were heading straight to their pussies as a terrified Lemon screamed,

“Megaman, where are you!”

Spike got that hint since they couldn't defeat this thing conventionally. So he and the rest of the team knew that if they don’t act fast, they would be witnessing a tentacle rape. He spoke,

“Guys, we got to stop this thing...but not conventionally! IT’S TIME TO UNLEASH OUR POWER!” Soon enough, the five members of the squadron had an aura around themselves,

Legend’s was Purple, Dro’s was orange, Ter’s was brown, Camo’s was green and Sonata’s was white. Legend yelled, “Ready guys?”

They said in unison, “Ready!” They crossed their arms and yelled, “GO SUPERCHARGE!!”

Spike had the gauntlet ready and was thankful that Lemon’s eyes were closed, “Traptanium Wave Change! Spike Power Up!”

Soon enough, a flash of light occurred as it caught the plant’s attention as well as its victims. The plant was confused by this spectacle while its captives were curious about it as the six lights had a different color to them. The lights soon faded to reveal the six figures that were in that light show. It was the five members of the squadron followed by Spike as Megaman. The five members looked different because they are now in their Supercharger forms.

Legend wore a blue cloak and hood with purple and yellow streaks running down the sides along with a few armor pieces from the shoulders, chest and boots. He was equipped with a crossbow instead of his kanatas with the Magic Symbol on the beak of the hood.

Dro wore a full set of Tech Armor, complete with wrist blasters, wings and a full helmet with a voice synthesizer and the Tech Symbol on the breastplate. His helmet’s visor polarized, showing that he was ready for battle.

Ter wore his Rock Armor and hefted his rocket launcher onto his shoulder, pointing his free hand at the plant and sliding his finger across his neck before a punching gauntlet covered it. He has the Earth Symbol on the chest of his armor.

Camo wore a plant-themed armor with vines making up the arms and legs, rose thorns sticking out of his hair, shoulders and arms, his red boots generated with growth and he had the Life Symbol on the Breastplate. He twirled two pistols in his hands as he raised them up, pointing at the air.

Sonata was wearing what looked like her regular clothes, but it was more of an armor than clothes, it went from her usual purple and dark pink to white and yellow, even the light blue parts of her hair turned yellow as she held a shurikun in the shape of the Light Symbol in her right hand and an shield buster on her left.

Legend challenged the plant, “You picked the wrong squadron to mess with!” The plant reacted as it lashed out with its tentacles at Legend as he dodged it and fired a magic bolt at the open bud as the creature screamed in shock, but kept its grip on Rainbow and Lemon. Legend yelled to the rest of the team,

“Spread out and attack it in multiple directions!” Everyone spoke, "Got it!"

Dro took to the skies as he used his wrist lasers on the plant while being careful not to hit the girls in its grip. Dro hurled a gear at the creature as it struck the side of the bud and shattered, the pieces hit the outer tentacles and avoided hitting the captives.

Ter slammed his rocket launcher to the ground and fired several burrowing missiles as the impacted the plant’s backside. The creature turned to the brawler and tried to crush him with a tentacle slam, but Ter burrowed under before impact.

Spike tossed two Battle Crystals as he gained his Rocket Skates and Laser Drill. He was currently the fastest on the ground and avoided every attack that the plant could throw at him. Once he got close enough to it, he shoved the laser drill into the plant's side near the bud, but didn’t kill it. The plant screeched and tried to lash its tentacle out, but Spike avoided it and countered with a few mega buster shots at close range.

Camo was trying to get a good shot at the plant’s bud, but it was holding the girls in front of it like a shield since it couldn't do that when the others attacked. He used the left gun to fire a vine at the plant’s tentacles to hold it down for a little while so they could get their attacks in. But this thing was persistent and it was still going to have its way with Rainbow and Lemon as he noticed that it plunged a tentacle into their mouths despite being in a war zone.

Legend was using a stealth tactic since he could turn invisible when supercharged. He was trying to find a nice angle to get a good shot at the plant. They needed to defeat this thing, but they can't do that without risking Rainbow and Lemon. He called the others,

“Keep this weed distracted, I’ve got a plan.”

The team nodded as Legend’s eyesight changed to point out several weak spots for this plant as he spotted several golden areas on the plant that need to be destroyed. He saw Sonata get into combat with the plant since it tried to grab her. But the quick and decisive skill of the siren’s shield cannon and severing a tentacle with her shurikun prevented that from happening

Even though it was being attacked, the plant was still going to have its way with its captives since Legend saw the plant sticking its tentacle into Rainbow’s mouth. But when he saw another tentacle merely inches away from plunging into her vagina, it shook him to his core as he faded back into reality and aimed his crossbow at his intended target as he said,

“Not this time.” He fired the crossbow bolt at the plant as the bolt began to take on the shape of a saw-blade moving in a vertical position as it sliced through its target: The tentacles holding Rainbow and Lemon. When the blade sliced the tentacle in half, the plant shrieked in pain as the girls got loose due the appendages getting cut. Rainbow felt its grip loosen up as she and Lemon started to fall to the ground, only to be caught by Legend and Spike.

Legend took one look a Rainbow and smiled knowing that she’s okay and took her away from the battle. He set her down on a beach chair near the barbecue,

“Stay here, we got to settle the score with your admirer.” But before he left, his jacket materialized in his hand as he wrapped it around Dash’s nude body as she said,

“Kick its ass, Spy! Show that thing who's boss!"

Over on Spike’s end, he took Lemon towards the door while grabbing his own jacket from the nearby chair and wrapped it around her body. She spoke in shock of the blue hero's rescue,

“You came for me?” Spike replied, “I heard you calling for me. Right now, we're going to take this thing down.” But before he could rejoin the others, the girl pounced on him and kissed him on the lips much to the shock of himself and the onlookers on the other side of the door although he thought he heard the scratching sound of nails on glass. He broke the kiss and stated,

“Umm, there’s a battle going on...you know?!”

Lemon, realizing this, released him and nodded, “Besides that thing destroyed my headphones. Go get it, Megaman.” With that being said, Spike took off to rejoin the rest of the squadron.

Without the girls in its clutches, the plant was vulnerable to a direct attack as all six members of Echo Squadron were around the plant as it looked around in confusion of their actions. Legend spoke,

“Guys, now that the hostages are safe...it's time to end this!" He raised his crossbow, "Ultra Buster Attack!”

Upon hearing this, all six members had the aura of their elements coursing through them as all six have raised their weapons at their adversary. Soon enough, all six members began to recite their elements of Skylands,

Sonata yelled, “LIGHT!” Her shield cannon opened fire at the plant as it was trying to hold back the blast.

Ter yelled, “EARTH!” With a slam to the ground with his rocket launcher, he fired several burrowing missiles before lifting his launcher again and firing a brown beam at the plant.

Camo yelled, “LIFE!” Camo twirled his guns before aiming them at the plant and fired a green beam at it as the combined powers of three elemental beams were getting difficult for the plant to withstand.

Dro yelled, “TECH!” With a swing of his wings, three gears fired at the plant before he fired an orange beam at the plant from his optic lasers and wrist blasters.

Spike and Legend shouted in unison, “AND MAGIC!” Legend fired a purple beam from his crossbow while Spike fired a beam of purple and light blue from his buster arm.

If three beams was hard to withstand, then all six elemental beams was getting too much for the plant to handle as the beams hit its bud and pierced its shell. After being bombarded and impaled by six elemental beams, the plant was screeched its final screech as it was engulfed in a flash of light as the six members lowered their weapons. The light soon faded as the smoke from their Ultra Buster started to clear as the shape started to form. Soon enough, they saw the remains of their adversary, which was burned to a crisp as Ter joked,

“Kentucky Fried Plant anyone?”

Spike looked at him, “That’s the first time I ever heard you say a wise-cracking joke.” Ter shrugged, “I learn from the best" As he shot a glance at Camo, knowing his knack for jokes, the brawler sighed, "But for some reason, That plant made me lose my appetite.”

Legend nodded, “Same here.”

Camo nodded, “Ditto.”

Sonata sighed in sorrow, “So much for Barbecue Night.”

Dro spoke, “Pretty much, but let’s go check on the others.” The team went to check on the two, Rainbow was okay since the plant didn’t do too much on her while Lemon passed out from exhaustion and the wave caused by the Ultra Buster Attack, suffice to say that she had quite a night.

When the team were inside and back to their regular selves except Spike since he maintained his Megaman self in case the unconscious Lemon woke up as he carried her into the mansion. Twilight sighed in relief,

“I’m glad that’s over.”

Ter replied, “No kidding.”

Spike nodded, “But the battle caused Lemon to pass out.”

Legend spoke, “Set her down on the couch. She'll need it considering the night she had.”

Spike nodded as he went into the living room, leaving the others with a shocked Indigo as she asked the remaining occupants,

“So...he’s...Megaman?”

Rarity replied, “He is..” She soon warned her, “But don’t to make any advances on him like your friend was doing!”

The confused girl backed away slowly as she thought she saw the alabaster girl's eyes go dark and asked, “But how did those guys do that? With their transformation?”

Twilight replied, “Like I said before, ‘We’re Skylanders.”

Indigo was curious about it since she was told of that before, but didn't get her answer and asked again, “What’s a Skylander?”

Voodood approached, “Skylanders are warriors from my dimension, they harness the power of the ten elements of our world of Skylands. Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Life, Undead, Tech, Magic, Light and Dark.”

Indigo was shocked, “So the Battle of CHS...it was real?” The rumors that had spread across Crystal Prep regarding the incident at their rival school. All this time, she thought of the Battle of CHS was a story and the term 'Skylander' was something some Canterlot High students thought up at mystical creatures club. But to be face-to-face with the very people who took part in the battle blew her speculation out of the water.

LT approached as he spoke with his usual Russian accent, “It was and it was biggest battle we have ever fought back then.”

Voodood nodded, “You said it.” Both Voodood and LT were very much involved with the battle and so far, they haven't forgotten about how Twilight was crying over Tree Rex's crippled form when Sunset Shimmer's demonic form shot a fireball at them, blowing off the giant's legs in the process.

Twilight spoke, “And believe it or not…” She pointed to Legend, Dro, Ter and Camo, “These four were created from the DNA of certain Skylanders, combined with human DNA and the hidden magic of our world. These four were created in the aftermath of the battle and as for Spike, he was once a dog until the shockwave from the Harmony Fury turned him human."

Indigo was confused, "He was once a dog?”

Twilight nodded, knowing she said too much as Indigo asked, "And how Spike is Megaman?"

Dro spoke, “That was actually recent since the spirit of the gauntlet, Drago chose him to possess its power and become a Trap Ranger, a high ranking member of the Trap Team."

Indigo now understood what was going on, "So you are all involved with a group of warriors, fighters and dragons from another dimension which your counterparts live in and the Battle of CHS was caused by the former apprentice of a dark dragon that seeks to plunge your world into ruin and nearly claimed our world as his own?"

Rainbow spoke, "Hey, I couldn't make this up if I tried. But yeah, we just let you in on our big secret."

Ter asked, “Isn’t kind of a coincidence that we are on the same island at the same time?”

Legend nodded, “A double dose of coincidence...but we don’t have to worry about it now.” He soon asked the crystal prep girl, “What were you doing in the woods anyway?”

Indigo replied, “We were following a crystal that Lemon has been carrying until that plant attacked.”

Rarity suspiciously asked, “Was it translucent blue?”

The girl nodded, “Yeah and was flashing every time your friend showed up as Megaman until this afternoon at the Food Court when it flashed to his presence.”

The very mention of the crystal and its properties caused the group to mutter something to each other as Ter spoke, “That crystal was a sliver of Traptanium. A powerful type of crystal that can be used to trap villains or be broken down to make a crystal weapon.”

Indigo curiously asked, “And how you know about this?”

Ter shrugged, “Well, I saw you and Lemon following that crystal before that plant attacked plus the fact that Spike is a Ranger Class Trap Master, he has a greater connection to Traptanium than we do.”

In the living room, Spike set the unconscious Lemon Zest on the couch and put a blanket over her. He sat on a nearby chair as he sighed in relief and in exhaustion which Drago noticed,

“Tonight has been a rough night, Spike.” Spike nodded, “I know Drago, not only did she follow me home, but she was nearly tentacle raped along with Rainbow Dash.”

The dragon-shaped arm cannon noticed, “That plant nearly had them, but it’s good to know that you and the others defeated it.”

Spike stood up as he started walking back to the other room while saying, “Either way, I get the feeling that she owes me one for saving her.”

Drago chuckled, “Just keep your wits about you, kid. You don’t want to make a scene or anything.”

Spike sarcastically said, “Yes Dad.” The two shared a laugh at his comment as Spike rejoined the rest of the group. Spike noticed the others looking at him as AJ asked,

“So how is she?”

Spike stated, “She’s fine, Drago and I checked on her condition before setting her on the couch. She’ll be fine by morning…”

Indigo asked, “Drago, the spirit?"

The arm cannon spoke, “I’m on his left arm you know. I’m pretty much his guide, companion and teacher in the ways of Traptanium.”

Lemon’s friend looked surprised, “The cannon talks?!” Spike nodded, “And we just saved your friend from having a tentacle shoved up her nether regions.”

Camo sighed, “At least it’s dead.”

Spike nodded, “And that it is…” He decided to take charge as he turned to the group, “Okay guys and gals, this night has been full of surprises, a surprising battle and a premature end to Barbecue Night which all of you are not happy about, neither am I. But since we've had quite a turn of events, I think it's best that we all turn in for the night. As for our guest, you can take the chair in the living room.”

They all agreed as Spike soon shifted back to normal as he left for his room while the others soon followed.

The next day, Legend woke up and decided to check on their guests because of last night’s skirmish. The leader of Echo Squadron and his team have been through a lot ever since they got to this island as he thought back,

“We’ve worked together, we were turned undead by an evil count, we were freed by Grim Creeper, fought the count and defeated him. We also returned home, fought the Dazzlings, went back to the other dimension, fought in the Traptanium Wars, accepted Sonata into our team and she's like a little sister to us. But the warning that the dragon in our minds gave us after our battle with the sirens. Tartarus, our blood, an ancient evil stealing our powers, Dragons of Nirn? Was it a warning of things yet to come...but with war drawing ever so close we might need to reconsider finding out about that warning and I for one do not want to get caught with my pants down if and when war breaks out. But since we're on vacation, a little relaxation is what we need...I think because of last night, I’m just going to spend the day here in the mansion.”

Legendary Spyro checked up on their guests to see both Lemon and Indigo out cold. It was probably expected from the night they just had. Legend looked around seeing if no one was around and went into the dining room as he pulled out a communicator to contact someone. He punched in the numbers and soon enough, an image of a familiar rival of his appeared on-screen with his dark skin, silver spiked hair and red eyes with a waterfall in the background,

“Hmph, strange that I’m receiving a call from you, Legend.”

Legend replied, “Come on, Dark. You know I wouldn’t leave you hanging around like that.”

Dark Spyro closed his eyes and said, “That depends if you want to have a friendly competition in air duels or fencing.”

Legend shook his head, “It’s nothing like that. My team and I just had a hard night for us.” Dark raised his eyebrow,

“What happened?” Legend told him about the plant attack and how it nearly raped Rainbow and Lemon with its tentacles. The appearance of it pretty much ended barbecue night before it even started. Dark Spyro was shocked,

“And who sent it?” Legend replied, “That’s the thing, we don’t know who or what sent it. Voodood told us about several stories revolving around that thing.”

Dark replied, “You know I could offer my aid, but my squadron is...on break.”

Legend asked, “You have a squadron of your own?”

Dark Spyro nodded, “It’s called ‘Omega Squadron’ it has me, Adagio, Aria and Dark Snap Shot.”

Legend remembered how he was turned human like LT and was sent to Dark Spyro's group, "How's he doing anyway?”

Dark Spyro stated, “Despite his hunting skills and Traptanium abilities, he really knows his way around an XFA-27, our standard aircraft."

Legend smiled, "You got yourself a hunter and an ace with him. Where are you guys anyway?"

Dark Spyro stated, "We're at Siren's Cove, 40 miles west of Equestria Shores, Dagi said that she likes the waterfalls that the cove is known for."

Legend knew something was up on Dark's end, "Oh...so is she 'showing you a mermaid's good time', Dark?"

Dark Spyro's face went red as he stuttered, "Well...um..." All of a sudden, another voice spoke, "Dark..." When Dark Spyro turned to the source, he also turned the screen, making Legend see the source of the voice. It was Adagio, she was lying on a rock in the middle of the cove and to Legendary's surprise, she was naked, her hair was soaked from swimming in the cove and she showing off her womanhood with one hand on her breast and the other was at her entrance, spreading her folds out as she spoke with a seductive tone, "Ready for Round 2?"

Dark Spyro's eyes widened as blood began to drip from his nose. He covered his nose as he spoke to Legend, "I...have things to do."

Legend chuckled at his rival's situation, “Well, I hope you have fun with your vacation, Dark.”

Dark slightly nodded, “Same to you.” With that being said, the communicator cut out, ending transmission as his friends and Indigo woke up and entered the dining room. He noticed that Spike wasn’t present at the moment, but he decided to say,

“Even after last night’s little skirmish, we’re going to press on and have a great vacation. So if any of you guys want to go to the beach, you can go to the beach, check out the sites at Sunny Days City, probably find any good dance clubs and such, you can do it. What I’m saying is...to just enjoy yourselves. We have earned this vacation."

Ter asked, “What about you?”

Legend sighed, “Last night took a whole lot out of me...I’m going to stay here for the day.”

Camo nodded, “Okay, Spy. I can imagine taking on that thing pretty much left you exhausted. You deserve a rest.”

Legend nodded, “Thanks for the support, Camo.”

Sonata added, "Let's not forget the Ragno Beach Boxing Tournament tonight. Terry's going to be in that tournament, right big guy?" She motioned to the brawler as he states,

"You got that right, sis!"

Soon enough, they went to gather up their essentials for today such as surfboards, towels, swimsuits, sunblock and all the other things necessary for a day at the beach. After gathering up their things and supplies needed for their day, the group of friends took off in the Road Avenger to spend some time at the beach or engage in other activities around the island.

Meanwhile, Spike had just woken up after they left and was heading downstairs to the backyard where the battle took place as he asked his spirit companion,

“What exactly did you sense, Drago?”

Drago replied, “A Traptanium signature, Spike. For some reason, that signature came from the plant.”

Spike asked, “So it’s not the crystal that Indigo told us about?”

Drago nodded, “We recovered that crystal after the battle, but it's something related to it and its inside that thing.”

Spike nodded as he became Megaman yet again to pick up on what Drago was sensing. As he passed the living room, he stopped and looked at Lemon, sleeping so peacefully wearing nothing but his jacket and covered with a blanket. Spike reminded himself that she had a rough night and needed to sleep it off. But still, she showed interest in him when he and Drago merged, nearly tried getting under his helmet the other night.

After taking a momentary glance at her, he left the living room and went out the back door towards the remains of the plant. After looking over the bizarre flytrap's remains, it's obvious that it's all scorched from roots to tentacles. He sighed.

“The plant is just the way it was when we fried it last night. Where should we start?"

Drago pointed out, “Remember the hole you drilled?”

Spike remembered since it was a direct attack on the body itself as he made his way over to the large hole in the side of the plant, “I see it.”

Drago instructed, “Trust your view from your visor and abilities, Spike. The Traptanium anomaly is inside this thing.”

Spike realized, “So I have to stick my hand in there and hope to find something that matches a Traptanium source?!”

Drago chuckled, “Don’t sound too surprised, kid. I did the same thing when I was in your boots.”

Spike sighed at this as he pulled his right arm back before shoving it into the artificially-created orifice of the dead creature as he began to move it around trying to get a feel on anything that matches Traptanium’s magical residue. As he moved his right hand around the insides of the plant’s corpse, Spike was disgusted by the smell that the dead plant emits,

“Eww...Disgusting...this scent is unbearable...I know Rarity usually comments on how dirty jobs are...but I just have to express my concern to this.”

Drago replied, “I was concerned as well, but you get used to it after a few tries.”

Spike nodded as he was digging away the insides with his right arm and began gripping on something with a familiar energy level. It felt like solid Traptanium and it had a magical effect to it as well. He pulled his arm out of the plant which was covered in plant fluid and internal vines as he shook it off of his hand,

“Eww…arm covered in plant blood, at least I didn’t have to extract its brain.”

Drago joked, “I doubt this thing would have a brain anyway.”

Spike chuckled, “Real funny, Drago, Anyway, let’s see what we have.” So Spike cleared away the plant blood from the object as it took the shape of a Traptanium armband with a slight green to it. When Drago saw the band, he looked shocked as Spike noticed,

“You’ve seen this before?”

Drago replied, “It belonged to a former colleague of mine. But...it’s impossible for this to be here...unless someone summoned this plant and it somehow had the armband.”

Spike asked, “But who was your colleague that possessed this?!”

Drago replied, “Her name is Gaia, she’s a faun, that was blessed with the powers of nature and life. I made this for her when she joined the Trap Team.”

Spike realized, “Drago, if you were lying dormant inside the gauntlet until I activated it, do you think Gaia is dormant in the armband?”

Drago replied with, “I’m not sure, Spike. The only way to know for sure is if Gaia merges with a chosen person.”

Spike stated, "Like when I merged with you?" Drago stated, "Exactly."

Spike sighed as he walked back to the mansion, “Whether or not, you're not the only spirit bound to a Traptanium device.”

Drago smiled, “That’s okay, I get to be with you guys.” Spike smiled as he entered the living room where Lemon was still sleeping as he sat on the chair across from her. As he began inspecting the armband, he noticed the crystal on the table near the chair, the same crystal that the girl on the couch had in her possession. He wondered,

“That crystal must’ve originated from my first battle with those creatures...she must’ve wanted a memento to remember me by.” He noticed that the crystal was glowing to his presence, “It was also a way to find me even when I’m not in this form.”

He looked at the girl on the couch, “She wanted to find me...well she has...but this is a problem. I don’t know why, but I think I would find myself tied to a bed either tonight or tomorrow.”

He leaned back on the chair as he needed to relax even in his Traptanium form.

Legend was out by the hot spring bath, sitting cross legged with his eyes closed as his mind began to wander on the abilities of his Supercharger power. The battle last night, really left him drained to do anything today, since he did supercharge. But for some reason, Camo, Dro, Ter and Sonata weren’t exhausted after supercharging and went off to enjoy the day. But it was his first time supercharging, so it made sense and it was his decision to stay at the mansion.

He began to take his mind off of last night and began to focus on the horizon. It was a peaceful day on the island, everyone was having fun while he was spending his day at the mansion. He opened his eyes and sighed,

“There are some clouds in the sky, the others are probably having a good time.” He chuckled, “I hope Ter’s trained for that Boxing Match at Ragno Beach tonight. The only person to ever match that tough guy in a fight would be AJ.”

As he lied down on his back, he stared up at the sky from the cobblestone ground. He closed his eyes again as he began to imagine himself in the cockpit of his new Apalis aircraft, another of Dro’s prototypes, flying over the island, getting a spectacular view of the place as a Lone Eagle, a White Shark, a Raptor, the Black Widow Bomber and a Talon formed up on him as they performed a flyby towards the nearby Sunny Beach in delta formation. Their planes began to trail smoke as all six separated into multiple directions as the crowds cheered. He got up as he realized,

“One of these days, I need to get back up in the air.”

He got up as he made his way over to the shower stalls as he looked them over as a way to pass the time and a way to check on how well Ter did, “Ter did a pretty good job here, no doubt that the big guy cleaned these stalls.”

He was just about to leave when he turned around, only for a pair of magenta eyes to surprise him and he was pushed into one of the stalls, knocking him to the floor. The leader of the squadron shook off the surprise as the sound of the stall’s lock was heard. He looked up and saw Rainbow Dash standing in front of him, wearing a dark-blue bikini as she said,

“I caught you off-guard, Spy.”

Legend was surprised, “You sure did...but I thought you were with the others.”

Dash stated, “I was going to surf when I figured, ‘what the hey, he did save me from that thing’ So I came back here to say thank you for last night.”

Legend rubbed the back of his head as he replied, “An Echos gotta do what an Echos gotta do.”

Dash spoke, “Who knows what that thing could’ve done to me if you hadn’t interfered?”

Legend got back to his feet, “But I did save your ass...even though it wasn’t aiming there.”

Dash chuckled, “Really funny, Spy.” She had a devious look, “Like I said before, I came back from the beach to thank you.”

Legend asked, “But aren’t you doing it right now?” Dash smiled, “Not the simple, ‘Thank you for saving me, Spy’ I’ve got something…” She leaned against Legend as her chest was pressed against his as she gripped his shirt, “More Special for someone like you.”

As she took Legend’s shirt off, she reached over his shoulder and turned on the shower which caused the swordsman to realize, “Ter told me that AJ surprised him from behind and did it in the Rec Room...now Dash is doing it to me in the showers...I guess two birds flock together when they pull a surprise move on their lovers.”

Dash kissed the swordsman on the forehead which made his cheeks flare red until her lips met his as their tongues began to battle for dominance. Dash, being the competitive type wanted to assert her dominance over Legend, but she would learn not to underestimate the leader of the squadron. They kept their lips linked for a minute until Dash broke the kiss as she said,

“You’re a good kisser, Spy. I can tell you that.”

Legend nodded, “Thanks, but this is kind of surprising.” Dash stated, “You saved me last night, so I’m thanking you...with my body. Of all the times that we competed against each other, I’d say, you earned it - Echo Leader."

Legend watched as the rainbow haired girl reached behind her back and undid her bikini top as it fell to the floor, allowing her breasts to bounce free from the confines of it. Legend had to admit that RD’s tan-line and her athletic figure made her sexy as he suddenly felt something bulge up in his shorts. Dash noticed as she turned around and pulled her bikini bottoms off, showing off her pussy and backdoor to the swordsman. She soon turned around as she gripped the hem of his pants as she noticed his erection through the pants,

“Well, I guess someone is eager to get started.” She pulled down Legend’s pants as she saw his ‘little dragon’ which was erect and ripe for her. Rainbow asked,

“So, are you ready?” Soon enough, his shock went away as he knew that he was going to spend time with her as he said,

“My friend is all yours.” Hearing this, she took Legend’s cock in her hand and began to stroke it for a few times before plunging it into her mouth and began to suck on it while Legend kept still as he could feel his phallus sliding in and out of Rainbow’s mouth as her tongue massages it as he silently moaned in pleasure. She kept moving back and forth as she moaned as well due to Legend’s cock stiffening inside her mouth. When she knew that he was getting close, she released his member with a ‘pop’ as she started to lie down in front of him while squeezing her breasts,

“Not yet, Spy. I want you to fuck my tits.”

Legend crouched down as he towered over her and placed his member between her breasts as he began to thrust her mounds as he moaned again with Rainbow massaging her breasts as she moaned as well. As he slowly thrusted her lovely mounds, Legend felt Dash’s breasts squeeze his member as he slowly began to speed up on his thrusting as he moaned even more heavily as precum started to squirt from his phallus as Dash licked it off of his dick at the end of every thrust. Dash was mesmerized by this as she was thinking,

“Spy’s cock is rubbing against my breasts...he’s being more dominant...but it’s so...good.”

Soon enough, Legend’s member was throbbing after every thrust as he felt himself about to burst,

“I’m...I’m gonna…” He couldn’t finish as he released his white, creamy seed all over Dash’s face as she had a shocked expression on her face as he moved off of her. She got up, still with that expression as she asked,

“Is...that it?” Legend asked, “Why do you ask that?”

Dash stated, “Like I said before, I know that my debt is repaid until I know I’ve paid it.”

The rainbow-haired girl used her tongue to lick Legend’s seed off of her lips while moved underneath the shower as she rinsed the rest of it off. Legend asked,

“So Round 2?”

Dash turned off the shower head, “Sure...but I would prefer a change of location.”

Meanwhile back in the living room, Lemon Zest had awoken as the green haired girl lifted her head up from her pillow and looked around trying to get a good view of her surroundings. She wiped the sleep from her eyes as she got a good look. Lemon remembered being saved by Megaman before the shockwave from the super attack made her pass out. Instead of being on the back porch, she was on the couch, wearing the purple and green jacket that Megaman gave her while covered in a soft blanket. She could remember that damn plant from last night since it dissolved her clothes and destroyed her headphones in the process. She wished that the plant would've lived so she would tear it apart herself for destroying her prized possession. As she sat up, she looked to her left and looked surprised when she saw Megaman sitting across from her. He looked at her and said,

“I see that you’re finally awake."

Lemon asked, “How did I get here?” Megaman replied, “Well, after we killed the plant, I found you passed out on the porch and carried you inside.”

Lemon smiled, “Thanks, I really appreciate it, dude.”

Megaman nodded, “It’s what I do to help. But are you hurt?"

The lime haired girl shook her head, "Only a few bruises from that plant on my arms and legs, nothing major.

The armored warrior sighed, in relief, "I'm glad it's only minor."

Lemon looked at Megaman for a few seconds as she began to think of all of the clues that led her to him. The crystal that she kept when she first met him, the flyboy from the docks, the monsters, the mansion and the recent rescue brought her to a single conclusion that would surprise her hero as she replied,

“Thanks…” She smiled, “Spike.”

Megaman asked with a shocked and confused expression, “Spike?”

Lemon stated, “You're not fooling me anymore. I was trying to find out who was behind that helmet and I followed all of the clues that led me to being snagged by that plant. I pretty much found out who you really are."

Megaman sighed as a flash of light consumed him and after a second, the light faded as Lemon came face to face with the true identity of the boy that saved her twice. When he was finished reverting back to his true self, Spike sat there on the chair with a defeated expression,

“So, what do you think?”

Lemon with a shocked and excited tone realized, “I...I can’t believe it! You’re Megaman, the boy that saved Crystal Prep!”

Spike asked as he stood up, “Shocking, isn’t it?”

Lemon got on her knees, “I wondered why the crystal always flashed when you were around...I just didn’t realize it until now!”

Spike picked up a crystal shard as he held towards Lemon, “And speaking of crystals, I think this belongs to you.”

Lemon, without question, just took the crystal from Spike’s hand as she spoke, “I’m surprised that the crystal stayed in one piece.”

Spike stated, "It's very durable, the only thing that can destroy them is another crystal like it."

Lemon was amazed, "Nice!" She soon noticed something in Spike's possession, "What's that in your hand?"

Spike looked at the armband in his hand for a moment before saying, "I found this inside the corpse of the dead plant. My gauntlet sensed it and I needed to find out what it meant."

Lemon, curious about the band asked, "May I take a look?"

Spike reluctantly handed the Traptanium Armband to her. But as soon as Lemon gripped the armband, both the armband and the crystal began to glow as Lemon saw the shard and band travel up her arm and onto her head as she felt something form on her head. She grabbed something big as she pulled it off and realized,

“It’s a pair of headphones, similar to the ones that got destroyed. But how?”

Spike was surprised by this as he stated, “The crystals are powerful items and can take the form of anything, including personal items that were lost or destroyed, but the armband reacting like that is remarkable.”

Lemon saw that her headphones were exactly like her old ones, the only difference was a slight green in the center of each ear with a symbol that appeared to be three leaves. She knew that because of Spike, she got the one thing that made her feel complete back. But she wasn't done with him yet, she set her new headphones on the table and now had a seductive smile, “You know, Spike. There is one thing I’ve wanted from you. Since you saved me from that plant, I think I owe you one.”

Spike noticed this and asked in shock, “Wait...you want to…” Lemon nodded, “I want you!"

Spike, although surprised and frightened at this, knew that this was bound to happen at some point as Lemon threw her arms around his shoulders. As she gave him a seductive glare, he pictured Rarity and Lemon fighting over him as they pressed their breasts up against his head while yanking him back and forth. Unfortunately, this wasn't the best time to be thinking about some personal conflict or desire as it ultimately caused a certain bulge to appear as she noticed,

“I guess someone is excited.”

Spike felt a hand grab his shorts as he was thrown onto the couch as Lemon sat on top of him as she pulled his pants off, revealing Spike’s 'dragon' to the Crystal Prep girl. Lemon smiled,

“Well Spike, I can tell that you’ve gotten all horny.” Spike attempted to cover his member via shirt, only for the green haired girl to push his arms back and hold them in place as she said,

“Come on, Spike. Live a little, would ya?”

Spike stuttered, "B-But... I-I'm taken!”

Lemon shook her head, “You had thoughts on a threesome.” Spike was baffled, "What do you mean?" Lemon grinned, "You know what I mean." She kissed Spike on the lips as she removed his shirt, leaving the Trap Master fully nude as Lemon was grinding her nethers on Spike’s member.

She moved down towards Spike’s dick as she took it in her hand and started to stroke his hardened member. Her strokes caused Spike to moan softly as she moved it up and down as the organ was going more harder with each stroke. And with each stroke, Lemon reached her hand underneath Spike's jacket and began rubbing her pussy as it dripped with arousal.

Spike could sense the arousal coming from Lemon’s honeypot as it dripped on his leg. She was aroused by the sight of Spike’s member that her vagina was begging for cock. He noticed that Lemon had released her grip on his member as she got back on top of Spike again, grinding her pussy against his cock once again. Lemon partially unzipped the jacket as she moved her hand underneath it as she rubbed her arousal-covered hands on her breasts. She started with her left as she moaned in pleasure until she moved to her right and directed Spike’s hand to her right breast as he squeezed it causing her to let out a moan as he gently pinched the nipple.

Lemon, knowing that she enjoys this, discarded Spike’s jacket as she was fully nude on top of him. Spike couldn’t help but stare at her mounds as they bounced free from the confines of his jacket. It was like he pictured in his fantasy of her and Rarity fighting over him...that’s when the thought of Rarity hit him like a ton of bricks. If she finds out, either a catfight would ensue which is unlike Rarity except when it involves him, she would leave him which is also unlikely because she is contempt on keeping him or subject him to a bondage punishment which Spike would have wet nightmares about.

But anything that Spike thought about vanished when he felt Lemon’s hand on his penis as she asked, “Are you ready for this?”

Spike, finally getting with the program said, “Go ahead, Lemon.”

Soon enough, she directed Spike’s member into her flower. As it entered her, she felt a brief sting of pain, followed by pleasure as she moved back and forth on Spike’s hard cock. She started to moan in pleasure as she felt her walls massage Spike’s penis as he moaned as well. Lemon mentally spoke,

“I...I never thought that someone like Spike could make me feel this good...Spike’s cock is...large…”

As Spike was on his back, he decided to thrust upwards, catching Lemon by surprise as she moaned even faster as she felt his member spread her pussy apart with only one thought in mind,

"What am I getting myself into?"

Meanwhile out in the spring bath, Legend and Rainbow were sitting on the sides of the tub, legs submerged in the water as Legend’s dragon wings were visible, covering his member as Dash said,

“Ya know, you don’t have to hide it under your wings.”

Legend smiled, “You read my mind, Dash. But I just needed a moment...which is already over.”

Dash asked, “Oh really?” Legend nodded as his wings vanished and his member appeared to Dash, all hard again as she asked,

“Still hard, Spy?” Legend nodded, “Hard and ready for you, Dash.”

With her speed, she pounced onto Legend as she kissed him, causing them to splash into the water as they battled for dominance during the kiss. Rainbow Dash had never liked losing in anything, but still she was overpowered by Legend as he lifted her onto the side on the tub and laid her down on her back as he started to kiss is way down her chest as she said,

“Suck my tits, Spy! Squeeze them as much as you want!” The swordsman complied with the athlete’s demand as he began to suck Dash’s breasts as he switched from one breast to the next as Dash moaned in pleasure as he gently bit down on her left nipple while his hand gently pinch the right nipple. It was a tingling sensation for Rainbow, to feel a lover’s teeth gently pinch her sensitive nipples as he squeezed them tightly. It wasn’t until he released them and moved down towards her aroused pussy.

The swordsman licked the lips of her vagina for a few seconds before plunging his tongue into her as she moaned in shock and pleasure as she felt herself being mesmerized by Legend’s tongue since he was part-dragon which meant that his tongue was long. The athlete instantly felt the pressure building up as she moaned,

“Ohhh, I’m so close!!”

With this hint, Legend continued to eat her out as her moans became more heavier as she yelled, “I’M CUMMING!!”

At that instant, Rainbow’s dam had burst as she released her love juices all over Legend’s face as he licked it clean from his lips as he realized,

“Now I know what a rainbow really tastes like,”

Rainbow, although she orgasmed, she pounced on the swordsman again and this time, he was lying on his back with Rainbow directly over him with her flower merely inches away from his rod. Dash spoke to Legend,

“Ya know, Spy. I’ve been wanting to ride something besides a surfboard.” She leaned in towards his face until their noses touched each other, “It might as well be you.”

Legend chuckled as he felt Dash gripping his member as she directed it towards her opening. Soon enough, she lowered herself onto his penis as the shaft entered her canals with a dose of pleasure hitting her. She soon began to move back and forth while moaning in pleasure once again. She looked at the motionless Legend as she asked,

“Am I going to do this all by myself?” He soon snapped out of his trance as he moved his hands over to her breasts and gripped them and rubbed them around as Rainbow continued moaning as he massaged her breasts, even pinching the nipples in the process. She was bouncing up and down on Legend’s member as it spread her vagina apart as she mentally said,

“Squadron Leader, Swordsman...and now Lover...and he has the cock to prove it.”

Rainbow was so entranced that she failed to realize that Legend had sat up, turned her around until her hands were resting on the edge of the tub. Soon enough, she regained her surroundings as she noticed Legend’s hands gripping her asscheeks as she said,

“Oh so you like going at it from behind, do ya?”

Legend smiled, “Just like trailing a bogey.” Soon enough, he entered her love tunnel as he began with shallow thrusts as Dash started to moan in pleasure of the slight thrusts as she said,

“You call that fucking? Fuck me hard, Spy! Fuck me like there’s no tomorrow!”

After that, Legend began to pick up speed as he increased his thrusts as Dash moaned in undeniable pleasure as she soon gripped a nearby towel that she brought with her. The immense of force that came with Legend pounding her pussy had him moaning as well as he leaned in and kissed the back of her neck, letting another pleasurable moan escape from Dash’s body. He thought,

“It feels like I’m fucking a cloud. Her counterpart is a pegasus, so it makes sense.” Dash soon moved her right hand from the towel and began to rub her pussy as she moaned even harder as her walls closed on Legend’s cock. She moaned,

“Oh....I’M SO CLOSE!!”

Legend felt his member throbbing as he said, “SO AM I!”

Dash yelled, “FILL ME! CUM IN ME, SPY!” Soon as that happened, Legend gripped her breasts as he lifted her upright as he thrusted even harder as she screamed,

“OOOHH...FUCK!” Rainbow Dash came again as she released her juices as Legend shot his seed inside of her. Unleashing rope after rope into her love tunnel as his telepathy power went rogue as he heard Dash’s thoughts,

“It...It’s inside...the feel of it being in me…” She was too consumed by pleasure that he couldn’t know what else she was going to say. After that, the couple collapsed unto the towel as their legs still dangled in the tub as Legend’s mind wander further from the spring bath as he heard moaning sounds in the living room followed by a shriek indicating climax...his eyes soon widened as he realized,

“Damn it, Spike! You really need to know how to get yourself out of this one now!”

His telepathy power faded as he soon felt Dash lying by his side with her arm on his chest as she said,

“You know, all this sex has made me tired.” She soon yawned as he yawned as well, “Well, I guess a little nap wouldn’t hurt. How about we go to my room and rest?"

Dash grabbed two towels and said, "Hey yeah!"

After taking leaving the spring bath, they went upstairs to Spy's room. But upon entering the room, RD had locked the door as she pressed herself against him. He guessed, "We're not done?" She smirked as she turned towards the bed and knelt down on all fours as her towel fell off. She turned her head to Spy while spreading her cheeks, exposing her flower which was still dripping with his seed and back door,

"You came inside my pussy and now I want you to cum in my ass."

Spy was taken back by this, but his little dragon was bulging through his towel. He realized that this is Rainbow Dash after all and she would always challenge him, so he smirked, "Never knew you were into Anal."

RD blushed, "Hey, I've been using a toy for those times. I need the real thing to fill my ass!" All of a sudden, he spanked her, "Ow..." But the sting of the spank was replaced with pleasure as she added, "Yeah...somebody likes to spank..."

LS discarded his towel as his still raging hard-on rubbed against her womanhood and her backdoor, earning a bit of moaning from RD. As he continued his process, she grew impatient, "Just...put it in already!"

She was silenced by another spank as she moaned in pleasure with LS asked, "What's the magic word?" RD begged, "Please fuck my ass so hard that I won't be able to sit right! I want you to fill my cunt with your white seed! Please!"
(Achievement Unlocked: My Athlete Girlfriend)
To Spy, this was quite the achievement: Making Rainbow Dash beg as he lined up his dragon with her back entrance and speared her from the back side.

The result of him entering her ass brought a bit of shock and groaning from both as Spy realized, "Your ass is tight..."
RD stated, "This feeling...it's nothing that I could ever experience with a toy."

He kept himself in that position for a moment before slowly pulling out and then began a steady pace which Rainbow stated,

"What's that? Speed it up, Echo Leader!" Spy smirked as he began to pick up the pace as RD felt pleasure as her ass split apart. Soon enough, she moved her hand down to her pussy and began to rub the sensitive area as she moaned in pleasure.It was a mind-shattering experience as RD rubbed her pussy while LS rammed her backdoor on overdrive was 20% pleasurable. But as they came close to orgasm, LS looked like he was slowing down, but before she could reprimand him, he kicked it into overdrive again, surprise and making her scream as she cried out,

"OHHH, I'M SO CLOSE...FUCK!" Soon enough, she climaxed as LS came in her ass and pulled out as his rod squirted the rest onto her back as she panted in relief and satisfaction. After cleaning her back with a towel, the couple were now under the covers of LS's bed as RD stated,

"That was quite the endurance, Spy. You really know how to give a girl a good time."

LS said, "The endurance, the virility and the abilities all comes with being part-dragon. But you really are a girl who has the spirit of competition."

RD yawned, "You got it, but in the meantime, let's rest up. I really wanna see Terry put AJ's training to the test at Ragno Beach." LS pulled her close to him, "You and me both." Soon enough, the cuddled and went to sleep.

Meanwhile in the living room, Spike had sex with Lemon and they were pretty much finished. Once he knew that Lemon was passed out from their little repayment, he shimmied his way out of her hold, pulled a blanket over her, got his clothes on and ran out the door towards the airship.

Once he got to the airship, he walked the halls towards the launch bay as he spoke with Drago,

“I can’t believe that it happened…”

Drago replied, “I know, Spike.” Spike facepalmed, “Once Rarity finds out, I’d be tied up and subjected to one of her punishments!” He looked at the screen and realized that Drago wasn’t there. So he placed his visor over his eyes and saw Drago beside him as the spirit said,

“I know Rarity’s history with bondage-like advances,”

Spike was still pondering the fact that he had sex with Lemon, "I still have wet nightmares about it and since Lemon had sex with me, I fear that those nightmares will happen again."

"It's always the male that takes the blame for the female's actions."

"True, Drago, true." After pondering about what happened back there, Spike decided to move on to a different topic,

“The crystal and armband changed into a new pair of headphones when Lemon touched it. What happened?”

Drago described, “Since Gaia is a spirit like me, she must’ve sensed something of sentimental value which is Lemon’s headphones. Since they were destroyed, she used her powers combined with Lemon’s crystal and her touch to create a new, similar pair.”

“Are you saying that Gaia has...chosen Lemon?”

“Just like how I chose you, kid.”

Spike decided to ask about a certain topic, “I’ve wanting to ask you this. What was your history after you formed the Trap Team?”

Drago began to remember, “The Trap Team was a special forces team that wields Traptanium weapons, like you saw before. But the difference was the leadership of the team; The Inner Council of the Trap Team.”

“I only know partially about it.”

Drago continued, “The Inner Council was composed of five individuals, five Trap Masters of the Ranger-Class that lead the team. I was the Head of the Inner Council, the voice of the Trap Team’s Leadership.”

“And now the new voice of the Trap Team is me.”

“The other members of the Inner Council are leaders and advisers. They are powerful fighters and knowledgeable in their wisdom.”

“I know you, Gaia and Snap Shot were members of the Inner Council. But who were the other two?”

“My...wife was a member of the Inner Council and we had a fire elf woman as the fifth member as well.”

“If your wife was a member of the Council and she’s a spirit...we could find her and…” Drago stopped him,

“No Spike. Not now and not on vacation.”

Spike nodded as he approached his chute as he hit the selection screen and selected his Talon.

At Sunny Beach, the team was having a relaxing day as AJ was teaching Ter the last lesson before the boxing tournament tonight, Twilight was with Voodood who disguised himself as a human with a disguise spell while Rarity was just sunbathing as she enjoyed herself. It wasn’t until she felt something on the back of her head. It was a feeling that something was up and it involved Spike in it. Rarity thought she heard Spike’s moans in her head...mixed with Lemon’s moans as well. Her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of a fighter jet soaring over the beach.

Rarity looked up and saw the Talon Fighter fly by the beach as she still heard the moans of Spike and Lemon until she realized,

“So my Spikey-Wikey gave in to her advances...and enjoyed it? You know what I do to you when you’re a bad boy, Spike?” If she wasn’t obscured by her sun hat, you could see a devious smile forming as she saw the Talon continue to fly by the beach before moving on to Sunny Days City.

Author's Note

Well that was a long chapter. Who would've thought that incorporating a battle sequence and two sex scenes in a chapter would be tough? But anyway, I managed to complete this chapter.

But now, I guess Spike is really in trouble now. Because Rarity knows that he had sex with Lemon. Okay, so I've never been good with clop-fics since this is my first one. Anyway, I'll see you around.

Update: The chapter is longer, the story has more variety and there's an extra lemon.
