Cyclo opened the treasure chest and eyed the money within greedily. He reached in to remove the bills for counting purposes, but as he did so the money disappeared, and electric blasts emerged from the chest, shocking him.

Tamma grinned as Cyclo screamed in pain. The plan she formed with the Pirate and his crew was unfolding perfectly.

"So that's it?" Jahno asked nervously. "We've won?"

"Sorry Dad, but that won't be enough to stop him." Tamma advised as Cyclo's electrocution continued. "But the next phase will be starting now."

A brilliant white light generated from the electric blasts, surrounding Cyclo, Tamma, and Jahno. Once the light faded, the three found themselves standing on a vast plot of farmland, with houses far off in the distance.

"Yay, the trap and transfer worked!" Essie squealed, standing beside Rick, Cerissa, and Mitch (who had already transformed into his Pirate form). Essie and Cerissa were dressed in their mage robes, while Rick was fully armored thanks to his helmet. The crew raced over to where Tamma and Jahno stood.

Cyclo broke free from the electric blasts, then cast a fireball out of his hand that incinerated the treasure chest. He then turned to glare at Jahno, Tamma, and their new allies.

"You've really blown it this time Jahno. Now your precious daughter and the rest of your pathetic town are mine for the taking!"

"No, you.... you.... you.... are wrong." Jahno stammered nervously. "I am putting my faith in my daughter, who entrusted this Pirate and his crew to stop you."

"Thanks Dad." Tamma said softly as tears once again rolled down her cheeks. "Alright guys, Cyclo is away from everyone else in town, and he should be partially weakened from the jolt in that trap. That should make a difference in the fight to come!"

"Ha ha ha ha, your daughter is even dumber than you Mr. Mayor!" Cyclo roared with laughter. He then waved a hand over himself, fully treating his injuries with a healing spell.

"Don't you dare insult Tamma, you are the idiot here!" Rick shot back. "You will regret underestimating us, we have more than enough power and talent to stop you. Hey Pirate, is it ok if I fight him first?"
