"Up ahead is the third factory." Shadow Rob said. "...Aaron, you can worry about what's going to happen to your assigned Lieutenant later." He added.

"Reading my mind again, are we?" Aaron asked.

"That's not what you're thinking currently. I'm just that perceptive." Shadow Rob said.

"Some things just do not change." Zapper said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Scootaloo asked.

"When Rob gets better, you'll understand." Zapper said.

"Ooookay..." Scootaloo said. The group headed inside, finding lots of near death Dark Tribe members, and then an out of commission foreman with a human standing in front of the unconcious foreman.

"You!" Zapper said approuching the human who was wearing some kind of gear.

"Been a long time, Zapper." The man said.

"You know this dude?" Throsten asked.

"Oh yes. We've met. This dude almost put Thunder Isles in danger. And that forced me to reveal my secret blue lightning powers." Zapper said.

"If it wasn't for that outsider, I would've been fine just continuing to be a part of Thunder Isles. But no. That outsider just had to show up and force my hand." The man said.

"You were always arrogant, Voltage." Zapper said.

"Maybe, but at least I went out taking you with me because of Maritis's paranoia." Voltage said. "I tried to join up with these Dark Tribe freaks, but none of them would even give me the time of day." He added.

What? That doesn't make any sense. Scootaloo thought to herself. She could just tell, something strange was going on.

"So, I decided to show them what for. Too bad I got here too late: Some machine parts have already been shipped out from this factory." Voltage said. "But, seeing as your here Zapper, I think it's time I settled an old grudge!" He added before unleashing a Lightning Spell.

"Again with the lightning magic?" Zapper asked.

Strange...I feel like I could do that. Scootaloo thought to herself before she actually tried it. This not only shocked practically everyone when she effortlessly unleashed the same spell right onto Voltage, but it knocked him right into the machinery, causing his gear to cause the place to start exploding.

"Did...did you just..." Shadow Rob started.

"Save it. We gotta get out of here." Aaron said. The group got out just in time for the factory to explode.

"...Scootaloo, did you seriously just use that lightning spell without even thinking about it?" Shadow Rob asked.

"Yeah." Scootaloo answered.

"...Interesting." Shadow Rob said.

"If the parts from this factory have been shipped though, doesn't that mean we need to hurry to the last factory before parts from it ship?" Aaron asked.

"You have a point. Let's hurry." Shadow Rob said.

The group arrived near the fourth factory, only to see it having been demolished and Gorzon standing outside.

"Ah. It's you again." Gorzon said. "Afraid your too late, there was nothing here. So I did you a favor and...got rid of it for you along with those inside~" He said with that same evil grin from before.

"You idiot, there were innocents in there!" Crusader said.

"Do I look like I care?" Gorzon said. There was not a hint of sorrow in his voice. Just pure evil.

"Your sick." Aaron said.

"Ah but don't go leaving so soon." Gorzon said before suddenly creating a barrier, causing a make-shift arena. "After all, I'm just starting to have fun here~" He added.

Shapeshifting Terror
Gorzon

Gorzon quickly shape shifted into some kind of bat creature, before trying to dive bomb Aaron's squad. Scootaloo did her best to dodge and then hit Gorzon a few times before she got off of him.

"Tch. Little brat. I'll make you pay for that." Gorzon said before he suddenly transformed into a copy of one of Aaron's men, before taking out a flamethrower which spewed some kind of fire spell.

"That shapeshifter is channeling his magic through that facsimile." Expert said over Zapper's device.

"But Aaron's squad isn't authorized enough for flamethrowers. How the hell did this shapeshifter know the UNA even had one of these things?!" General Highton said.

"Why do I have a feeling we're not going to like the answer, nor are we even going to get one in the first place?" Zapper asked.

There it is again. I feel like I can do that too. Scootaloo thought to herself before she turned her own version of the fire spell on Gorzon.

"What the...how did you do that? That's not fair! Try this on for size!" Gorzon said before shape shifting into another member of Aaron's squad before taking out a freeze ray which was ultlizing an ice spell.

"There it is again. How does this monster know the UNA has these weapons?!" General Highton said.

"We can worry about that after we beat his face in." Shadow Rob said.

Once again, Scootaloo somehow managed to turn the ice spell onto Gorzon, which seemed to upset him even further. "WHAT THE HELL?! DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO MIMIC MAGIC?! THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! THE CHANCES OF THAT BEING THE CASE ARE WAY TOO LOW!" Gorzon said before he transformed into a copy of Aaron himself before he started using a lightning gun to launch a lightning spell.

"Okay that's three for three, but the UNA hasn't even finished testing the lightning cannon device yet; it's still in the prototype stage!" General Highton said.

"General, I know I'm not authorized, and it's risky, but using it against him might be our only option." Aaron said.

"Save that permission General." Scootaloo said before unleashing the same lightning spell right onto Gorzon, causing him to get super duper electrocuted.

"Little...brat...you do have it don't you? You somehow have access to Mimic Magic...it's the only explination." Gorzon said.

"And you talk too much." Scootaloo said before punting Gorzon off into the horizon.

"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!" Gorzon yelled out as he flew off.

"Did you really have to punt that shapeshifter like that?" Zapper asked.

"We've got bigger problems. I can sense it...the Dark Core. Seems the Dark Master must've completed it after all!" Shadow Rob said.

"Seriously? We took out all these factories for nothing then." Zapper said.

"Not necessarily. We ensured that they couldn't make another one easily is all." Aaron said.

"...That's a fair point, well made." Zapper said.

"Let's go and destroy the one that was built then." Throsten said.

"Agreed." Scootaloo said.

Author's Note

So there are a few things I want to adress here. First, is that there was originally an outright boss fight against Voltage in that third factory but even though I cut it, it wasn't for time constraint reasons. Instead, I had cut said boss fight to drop some very clear hints about what's going on with Scootaloo being able to just use various magic spells without even thinking about it.

The second thing to adress is the Gorzon fight which was originally going to last much longer then it actually ended up being here. The main reason it's been effectively cut in half is because I wanted to again showcase something going on with Scootaloo.

Finally, in case anyone is wondering why Rachet hasn't spoken up yet, that's because most of his lines are being repurposed into Scootaloo's lines, so before anyone comments that I've yet to have Rachet say anything, just know that most of the time, Scootaloo's lines were originally Rachet's lines with a few that are most obviously pure Scootaloo such as the "Save that permission General" and "And you talk too much" lines. The main reason a lot of Rachet's lines are being reused into Scootaloo lines is because they actually work for her really well if you can believe that.
