After nodding, they all looked in a specific direction
"Bright Turquoise; we're ready." Man in Pink said.
A portal opened up and they stepped in.
"You must be quick; time is of the essence" Bright turquoise said.
Bronze Mage had been left alone in his area for the time being, so imagine his shock when two Colormen and a Colorwoman appeared.
"Hello grandfather... Hope you do t mind, but I think I'll have you take the curse off me today." Man in Bronze said.
"We know you're only at 1/3 strength; you're going down!" Man in Pink replied.
"My strength may only be at a fraction of its power; but I can still hold my own!" He said as he charged at them.
Meanwhile at the VEC sick bay, Sickoia was dealing double trouble- captain Hypoglycemia had fainted again because he had run out of medicine, and The Duplicator was still in a coma from earlier. "The obvious answer would be to feed him, but he can't eat if he is unconscious" she observed.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Superman arrived. "I've come to save those two!" he said. Captain Hypoglycemia unfainted. "You're my hero..." he said, and fainted again. "Thanks, Superman!" cried Sickoia. "Don't mention it!" replied Superman, who flew away and dumped them in the ocean.
Meanwhile, the Bronze Mage...

Rolled his eyes at the obvious breach in logic and shot a five-second burst of magical lightning at MIB, MIP, and WIP, who collapsed in pain.
"You do realize 1/3 of my power still retains most of my attacks... and I'm already feeling stronger!"
"This was a terrible idea!" Man In Pink moaned.

"No it's not! It's going to take a lot more than that to bring us down!" Man In Bronze said as he stood again.
"You don't even have an artifact; how can you hope to top me?" The Bronze Mage said.
"Not for long" Man In Bronze said. The Bronze Mage just looked confused.
"You know, your curse has caused my line so many problems. Always cursed to die young, which in hindsight heaven knows how the line lasted this long; we're always fathers by the time we're 22,23 and we're dead by the time our sons are 18. We always have bad luck, and can't seem to do anything quite right. But there is one thing I am very, very good at Grandfather Elgabalus."
"And what is that?" The Bronze Mage asked.
"Being a diversion"
The Bronze Mage could hardly react as Woman In Pink conjured thick black oil, and covered the Bronze Mage. While Man In Bronze had distracted him.Unable to speak or use his hands, he wound up dropping his staff. He was still alive, since the oil was only lukewarm, and they didn't set it on fire.
"I think it's time the staff be returned to its rightful owner" Man In Bronze said as he went to recover it.
But the Bronze Mage wasn't going to go down that easily. As Man In Bronze went to recover his family's artifact, the mage began the process to free himself from the oil.
As this happened...

There was an explosion and MIB went flying off the balcony they were on.
"Did you really think you could just take my staff? There are so many abjurations on this thing, I'very forgotten what half off them actually do. You're lucky, actually. The curse keeps you alive until you have a son- and you will have a son, no matter what- so touching the staff only made you fall ten stories."
"What, do you always monologue while cornered?" snarked MIP. "You can't escape us."
"There's only time for one spell before you charge. Okay. Salem Bari cola tei!"
A narrow beam of light shot out of BM's finger and hit WIP's glasses.
They exploded.
Woman In Pink turned to Man In Pink. Her eyes were deep bronze and reflected nothing.
"I'm a nice guy, so I'll give you ten seconds to run." BM said.
Man In Pink turned and ran... and Darkhart shot him in the back with a shadow dagger. He collapsed.
"I think I'll take control of your brain, too..."
โคโกโขโงโคโกโขโงโคโกโขโงโคโกโขโง
Man In Yellow and Woman In Yellow were on their way to reinforce the Colorfolk at the Great Hall when Man In Pink and Woman In Pink leapt out of the underbrush and attacked!
"It's the Bronze Mage's mind control spell!"
"How do you stop it?"
"It can't be stopped! Our only hope is to knock them out and hope we can find some of those goggle things that block out his mind control to put on them."
Meanwhile, Chaos was ...

...Aldrion." Chaos said.
"Aldrion?" Egyptian Blue asked. Then he remembered; many years ago there was a rogue Mage associated with the VEC, but he never was a solid member. During the dark era Egyptian Blue had destroyed him when he attacked his small group of Colormen. It was about three years after losing his wife.
"So the one who took my wife..." Egyptian Blue said
"Yes; you already stopped him, a long time ago" Chaos said.
Egyptian Blue smiled. "Then I have completed my mission." He said. "And as for you... I'm afraid your time is up"
Egyptian Blue held his staff up, and Chaos disappeared.
"For every great victory though, there is great sacrifice" Egyptian Blue said.
Some time later, he had found his way back to his family; they were just waking up
He held his staff up to scan his family; they were no longer under Hivemind's influence.
His son sat up. "Dad? What happened?" He asked. Man In Egyptian blue stumbled towards his son.
"I've done it; my mission is complete." He said to his son. "It's your turn now." Egyptian blue fell into his son's arms and closed his eyes.
"Dad? Dad!!" He screamed. But the Man in Egyptian Blue would not wake up.
...........
Elsewhere, the yellows had captured the pinks; turns out the Bow of Eskal had sleep arrows, as Man in Yellow found out purely by accident.
They were brought to just outside the great hall, where for now they were kept in an "induced sleep" inside radmiium cells.
Some Colormen Craftsmen began working on the goggles that would prevent bronze Mage from controlling them. It would take some time, but the archives did hold information on them.
As all this was going on, over at the tidal wave...

Darkstorm, the most powerful spell caster present, was making the wave stronger as it flowed towards Brendam. His telepathic link with Darkhart allowed him to get further instructions from headquarters.
Meanwhile, ROBOT CHARLIE 2.0. was approaching the numbered diesels...

Was the subject of discussion among the Colormen.
"We're pushing them back; thanks to our ancestors their foot soldiers are for the most part wiped out and the only ones still fighting are most of the older members with some of the more experienced newer ones." Man in White said. "But what if the bronze Mage?"
"Don't you remember our first encounter with him? We have defeated him before and we will defeat him again". Man In Blue said, and he proceeded to outline the plan.
Meanwhile, the sea battle with that tug was setting up for began.
"Lightning man, can you hit them?" Blood alchemist asked.
"Salt water is one of the best conductors of electricity sir; i fear attempting to hit them will get us hit too" he explained.

"Alright follow that train, stop them from stopping that wave..." shouted Hohenheim over the stormy weather...
The freak weather phenomenon was affecting Steel's group as well...
"Black, is everyone ready?" asked the Man in Steel
"Yes just about, how will we defend ourselves and stop that wave?" asked Man in Black
"We'll fight on the roof of the coach and I'll deal with the wave, you guys keep VEC off of me while I smash that wave into pieces..." replied Man in Steel
"Alright, but it seems the track goes right in the heart of the wave, so if we don't stop it before we get to it or create a way to keep it from washing over us, we might be in some serious trouble..." said Man in Black
"You're in charge while I get ready, Tug will keep his hands on the throttle, and save Hohenheim for me, I'll deal with him after the wave..."
"Right..."
"Get ready, because here comes both of our targets... Get ready to attack!" shouted Man in Black
"Yeah!" replied the rest of the Colormen with him as the two forces began to clash...
Meanwhile...

The VEC was getting pushed back on all fronts; more than 30 generations of Colormen, plus the present Colormen and the current generation of Colorwomen proved to be too much; those of the VEC who were not already injured, captured or unconscious were forced back to Diablo Tower, except for the blood alchemist's group.
The Blood Alchemist's group, though unaware of this, proceeded with their plan. The Blood alchemist, Captain Dynamo, Lightning Man, Kniitwitt, Eddie Denim, Lock-on John, Silent Night, The General, Ocean Man and some Duplicator Clones were all that stood between The Colormen and the tidal wave; and the Colormen struck first
"Dret vak toral breka nii!" Screamed Man In Black. His javelin glowed, and he did the throwing action, but rather than release the javelin, a constant stream of "energy javelins" came flying out of the javelin, and started landing in and around the VEC members.
"Hit the deck!" The General shouted as the javelins began to hit; each strike resulting in an explosion.

The writer erased that line.
"I'll get back to the engines soon enough; I just really need to finish this arc"
...
The Javelins exploded around the VEC members; most of the Duplicator Clones were destroyed, and Lock-On John and Eddie Denim were knocked unconscious, but they were alive.
The boat had taken a great deal of damage, but remained afloat.
Lightning Man, Silent Night and Ocean Man were the first to regain their senses; the rest were either under rubble or taken out.
"Oh dear; looks like we've lost all but five of our clones" Ocean Man noticed.
"Never mind that! Where's The blood Alchemist!?" The General said as he stood up and dusted himself off.
