(Cut to the living room of Rebellion HQ. Shift flies backwards through it, apparently thrown. He recovers, and swoops down forward at Draconis, who ducks down in the doorway.)

Draconis: C'mon, Parrot, you can do better than that!

Shift: (voice) If you think calling me a parrot is gonna get me angrier...

(Shift charges forward, knocking Draconis square across the face. He tries to claw Shift in the flurry but misses.)

Shift: Well, you're right!

Draconis: (gets in a feral stance) Yeah, let's see some more of that, Big Bird!

(Shift takes Magma Blade swipes at Draconis, who hops and ducks over them. Draconis freezes a block of ice, picks it up, and smacks Shift over the head with it.)

Draconis: You're weaker than Axl!

(The block breaks, and Shift grabs Draconis's arm. He twists it, turns Draconis around, and kicks him to the ground. Jeremy flies in.)

Jeremy: What are you doing?!

Shift: Finishing what I started!

(Shift tosses a small bomb down on Draconis.)

Shift: Akuma-

(Jeremy zips over and covers Shift's mouth. Draconis gets up and sweeps his knees.)

Jeremy: No! We don't need to be flooding the living room with magma today, no thanks.

Draconis: C'mon, man, we're just training.

(Shift rips Jeremy's hand off his mouth.)

Shift: Yeah, the city's getting harder to protect, and we can't let ourselves be caught in the shuffle!

Jeremy: Well, hey, we have a lot of money now. Why don't you build a new training room? I'll even help with the blueprints!

Draconis: We had tons of those back at Hunter and it worked out pretty well, actually.

Jeremy: Let's get started on it then.

(Jeremy, Draconis, and Shift leave the living room. Cut to a hallway. They are walking down it.)

Shift: So will there be any Mechalinoids in this training center?

Jeremy: Holograms, probably.

Shift: Bah! That's not the same...

Draconis: I agree, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you actually get to dig into something real and metalliac.

Jeremy: Speaking of metallic, where's Yami been?

Draconis: He was supposed to come train with us, but I dunno where he went. Probably got lost.

(Suddenly, the screen shakes, and a loud crash is heard, with a roar quickly after. The three run forward until they get to one of the fields directly outside the HQ, where they stop in awe.)

Shift: What the...

Jeremy: Is that?

Draconis: Yami!

(The camera pans over to show Yami calming a giant, monstrous looking spider down. The spider roars uncontrollably.)

Yami: Shh, shh, calm down! (turns around) Oh, hey guys!

Draconis: Are you serious?

Yami: About what?

Draconis: About this damn spider!

Yami: He has a name, you know!

Shift: Ooh! Ooh! Is it Freddie?

Jeremy: Looks more like a Derek to me.

Yami: His name is Ulysseus, and he's all mine!

(Ulysseus roars.)

Shift: Ulysseus? Why is he named Ulysseus?

Draconis: I think what you mean to be asking is when we're gonna kill it.

(Ulysseus roars. Yami tries to calm him down but fails.)

Yami: Oh, great job, Drac! Now he's gonna be restless...

Draconis: You aren't keeping him.

Yami: Why not?!

Jeremy: Well, for one thing, I don't want to be disemboweled.

Draconis: That, and where will he go?

Yami: We have a gigantic basement! He can relax in there!

Shift: Or we can use the pool room, the ice skating rink is going nowhere because somebody refuses to help.

Draconis: I draw the line at ice skating. And why are you on the dumbass's side?

Shift: We need a team mascot.

Jeremy: We're pretty distinctive looking, I'm sure one of us could suit that purpose...

Shift: As Leader of the Reploid Rebellion, I rule that Ulysseus - Yami, what's his full name?

Yami: Ulysseus Ruth Nicholson.

Shift: I rule that Ulysseus Ruth Nicholson has the right to stay in our headquarters in tolerable conditions.

Draconis: As Commander of the Reploid Rebellion, I overrule your ruling.

Jeremy: Hey, why aren't I Commander?

Draconis: You're Chief Tech Officer.

Yami: What am I?

Shift: Secretary of the Interior.

(Yami claps for himself.)

Yami: So can he stay?

Draconis: No.

Shift: Yes.

Draconis: Shift, it's either me or the spider.

Shift: Pfff, yeah, okay! Where are you gonna go?

Draconis: Gate will take me in and I'll work with him.

Yami: Please man, Gate loves me more than you.

Jeremy: Not to mention he just went on an archaeology expedition yesterday.

Draconis: What? And he didn't even say bye?

Shift: I'm gonna go set up Ulysseus's bedroom.

Jeremy: I can go buy him some food downtown, they have everything there.

Yami: Yay for Ulysseus!

(Everybody but Draconis cheers. Draconis sighs heavily. Cut to a room in Rebellion HQ. Brick sits behind a glass wall, apparently singing opera. Nakori, Jason, and Skull are sitting around, talking to each other.)

Jason: ...and then Jacob will stand over the forest as it burns, and he turns his back to it, and the screen fades to black.

Nakori: Well, now I don't have to see the movie.

Skull: Can't you see anything in the future that's useful? Like lottery numbers? Or cheat on the stock market?

Jason: Uhh, yeah, I already do that.

Nakori: I never see you with money...

Skull: If you aren't using it for the Rebellion, what are you using it for?

Jason: Uhh...ventures.

(Draconis walks in.)

Draconis: Hey. What's Brick's deal?

Nakori: He wanted to sing some new stuff he's been working on to us, so we put him behind a soundproof wall.

(They look at Brick and give him the thumbs up. They look back at Draconis.)

Jason: What are you doing here? I thought you were building a combat room.

Draconis: Plans have been set back by a giant spider.

Skull: What kind of expression is that?

Draconis: It's not an expression, Yami bought a giant spider and his room is being furnished now.

(Suddenly, Ulysseus comes crashing through the room Brick is in, and attacks him. Brick screams for help, but nobody hears him.)

Jason: Giant spider, you say?

Draconis: Yeah, named Ulysseus.

Jason: Like (points to Brick) that one?

Nakori: Oh my Lord!

Skull: Look at him go...

Draconis: Dammit! I knew this spider would cause trouble!

(Yami runs into the room and jumps onto Ulysseus. He pets him and tries to calm him down, but Ulysseus roars and throws Yami off and through the glass. He starts to crawl into the next room.)

Jason: Do you know how hard it is to come by soundproof glass these days, Yami?

Skull: But you found it at the junkyard.

Jason: Dumpster diving is a science, Skull. A very exact one.

Brick: Wait...that glass was soundproof?

Nakori: Yeah, Brick, I'm sorry...but your opera is so loud that it just kills me...

Brick: Bah! Everybody's a critic!

(Brick stomps off, mumbling. Ulysseus shrieks and Draconis slaps him, shutting him up. Yami gasps.)

Yami: Don't touch him!

Draconis: It shut him up, didn't it?

Skull: You should never hit a child, Drac.

Draconis: He's not a child, he's the damn mascot!

Yami: Stop calling him the damn whatever! It's disretental!

(Shift and Jeremy fly in.)

Shift: What in Churchill's name happened here?

Jeremy: It looks like Ulysseus plowed through the wall.

Shift: Yami, is that what happened?

Yami: Well...uhh...(hangs head) yes.

Shift: Awesome! We have a new battle tank!

Draconis: What? I thought Brick was the tank!

Shift: Giant spiders are more menacing than giant yellow-faced turtles, I think.

Jeremy: I'd have to agree with you there.

Jason: You have to factor in Brick's missiles.

Shift: Ultimately they don't make a difference.

Yami: I refuse to let him go into battle! He's the pampered mascot!

Nakori: The Hunters would probably label us Mavericks if we used him...we're on thin ice as it is.

Shift: Pff, who cares about the Hunters.

Skull: I for one don't want to have a Z-Saber up my ass.

Jeremy: And X is almost invincible...

Draconis: I vote we send Ulysseus into battle. And by battle I mean send him to be killed.

Yami: Draconis!

Shift: Draconis, you've been an awful cobblepot lately. I am overriding every single decision you make!

Draconis: What? (growls)

Shift: Your growling doesn't work on me, boy! Remember who can't take the heat!

Draconis: This is ridiculous. I'm heading out.

(Draconis stomps off.)

Jason: Drama!

(Cut to a bird's-eye view of Rebellion HQ. Four helicopters suddenly swoop into the shot, with Smash Beetle dangling on the bottom of one particularly slow moving one. Cut to the inside of the front one, where Beam Squid is piloting and Helium Hound is at a gun.)

Beam Squid: Sigma One, this is Sigma One, we're closing in on the target. Make sure your gunners are ready.

Helium Hound: Loud and clear!

Beam Squid: That doesn't fit the context, but gold star anyways.

Helium Hound: Yay!

(Cut to the second helicopter. Slice Gecko is at the gun and Energy Butterfly pilots.)

Slice Gecko: Can we move a little faster? Smash Beetle's convoy is catching up to us.

Energy Butterfly: Quiet, you, this is harder than it looks!

Slice Gecko: The legendary Energy Butterfly doesn't know something? (chuckles)

Energy Butterfly: You're lucky I'm busy with this, otherwise I would shock your bolts right off....

(Cut back to Beam Squid's helicopter.)

Beam Squid: Alright, about ten seconds remain before we open fire. Open up your doors, and get ready to have some fun...

(The helicopters reach Rebellion HQ and begin to circle. Cut to the third helicopter, where Monsoon Falcon pilots, and Turbo Kitsune is at the gun.)

Monsoon Falcon: Approximately five more seconds.

Turbo Kitsune: Ooh, yeah, this is gonna be good...

(Cut to the final helicopter, which Terra Toucan pilots. Smash Beetle is hanging down from this one.)

Smash Beetle: Want me to jump?

Terra Toucan: Yeah, now!

(Smash Beetle leaps forward off the helicopter and down on the ground. Terra Toucan's helicopter soars, and guns on the front start to shoot. The other helicopters open fire on Rebellion HQ. Cut to the roof of Rebellion HQ. Brick and Nakori are there.)

Nakori: (ducks and rolls over) What is going on?!

Brick: I see Smash Beetle coming! It's the Nightmare Force!

Nakori: Well, what are you waiting for?! Launch some missiles!

Brick: Alright, but I don't have very good aim...

(Brick launches some missiles, which soar around randomly. One zips right past Nakori, who rolls out of the way.)

Nakori: Brick!

Brick: Sorry!

(Brick continues to launch missiles as Nakori dodges fire. One missile zooms up to Terra Toucan's helicopter and hits it, making it shaky.)

Terra Toucan: I'm hit! I need to board another, need to board another!

(Terra Toucan flies out of his helicopter as it sinks to the ground. He weaves into another helicopter, which belongs to Beam Squid and Helium Hound, who is rapdily shooting.)

Beam Squid: How in the hell did you go down already?!

Terra Toucan: Brick's missiles are too strong, we need to take him out!

Beam Squid: Well, that makes sense. Here, you pilot. I'll get right on that.

(Beam Squid and Terra Toucan switch positions. Cut back to the roof. Nakori is hiding behind Brick's right foot.)

Nakori: Keep it up, Brick, it's working!

(Cut to a view of Brick's head from a sniper scope. A shot is fired, and we see Brick get hit. He yells and tumbles off the roof. Nakori sighs and rolls behind a structure.)

Nakori: ...or not.

(Cut to a hallway in Rebellion HQ. Draconis is walking down it.)

Draconis: Damn spider...

(Bullets start to fly towards Draconis, who ducks on the floor.)

Draconis: What the hell?! Nightmare Force?!

(Draconis opens a door and ducks into the room. Ulysseus and Yami are hiding in here.)

Draconis: Yami, we need to get your fat spider out there!

Yami: He's a lover, not a fighter!

(Ulysseus roars.)

Yami: See? Aren't you a lover, yes you are, yes you a-

(Ulysseus shrieks and eats Yami. He then spits him out, sending him through the wall.)

Draconis: Hmm. I think I like you.

(Ulysseus growls happily).

Draconis: Now, with him out of the way, let's go kick some Nightmare Force ass!

(Draconis hops aboard Ulysseus, who runs off. Yami walks back into the room.)

Yami: He...he...he rejected me...

(Cut to outside Rebellion HQ. Helicopters continue to weave about, shooting at the Rebels. Jason and Skull are standing next to Brick, trying to wake him up.)

Jason: Brick, get up, man, we need you!

Skull: Stop it, there's no use! He's unconcious. We'll just have to fend them off without a giant tank.

(Jason nods and goes into his shell. It starts deflecting shots. Skull uses the Infinity Drive, and several other Skulls run around, shooting up at the skies. Cut to the skies. Shift and Jeremy are flying around, trying to attack the helicopters.)

Jeremy: Alright, I think it's finally working!

Shift: We need to get more guys that can fly, all those walkers are useless!

(Shift fires a fireball at a helicopter. Suddenly, Smash Beetle's hand comes up and smacks Shift and Jeremy, sending them down to his face-level.)

Smash Beetle: Oh no you don't!

(Jeremy fires several Yammar Options at him to no use. He flicks Jeremy away and tries to crush Shift in between his hands. Ulysseus rides in out of nowhere and attacks Smash Beetle. Draconis is riding on him.)

Smash Beetle: What the-

Draconis: Ride on, Ule, ride on!

(Ulysseus shrieks at Smash Beetle and claws into him, sending him backwards. Draconis jumps off of Ulysseus and climbs up Smash Beetle.)

Draconis: Now, I just gotta get my timing right...

(A helicopter drops down and starts to fly by. Draconis jumps off of Smash Beetle and onto the helicopter. He digs one of his claws into it and starts to hack at it with the other one.)

Draconis: Well, that was pretty damn awesome, if I do say so myself!

(Draconis laughs and continues to slash at the helicopter, until it starts to spin out of control. He jumps off and back onto Ulysseus, who is almost mauling Smash Beetle, who is screaming and trying to get away. Cut to Monsoon Falcon's helicopter.)

Monsoon Falcon: Nightmare Force, retreat, retreat!

(The remaining helicopters fly away, and the other members jump onto Smash Beetle. Cut back to Rebellion HQ. Everybody crowds around Ulysseus, cheering him on.)

Jason: You know, Drac, if it wasn't for him, we could be dead now.

Draconis: I know, I know! Little guy's not that bad after all. I'm actually warming up to him.

(Brick wanders over, rubbing his forehead.)

Nakori: Oh, hey Brick. You got a headache?

Brick: I...guess you could say that.

(Brick winces and everybody laughs. Yami walks over, looking disgruntled.)

Yami: Oh, so I see you chased away all the helicopters.

Skull: Your pet here did it!

Yami: My pet? Pff, he's not my pet. In fact, I vote we all kick him out!

Jeremy: You can just be quiet now, Yami.

(Ulysseus growls happily. Yami scoffs and walks away.)

Shift: What's with him?

Draconis: He chose the rest of us over Yami, and by that I mean he ate him and spit him out.

Shift: You're a good little spider, yes you are, yes you a-

(Ulysseus growls. Shift backs off.)

Shift: Oh, fine then.
