Scorpinac: Fey dodge plus he knew not to get that close to Keroberos. He isn't that dumb. Here comes some comic relief.

"You sure you want me to bring him to the bake sale, master? You know how he gets around sweets." Ruby asks.
"That's what I'm counting on. Kero will be there and it just might give Sakura a chance to change another card without my interference. The less I have to do, the less likely Fey will expose me." Eli explains.
"Gotcha," Ruby states. "Now how to convince him to go."
"Tell him I ordered him to go. That way he won't complain too much."
"That'll keep him quiet then." Ruby says smiling.

"oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah!" Kero celebrates seeing what Sakura had brought him. Spinner watches Kero from a tree.
'That's the guardian beast of the cards? Pathetic.' Spinner muses.
"Oh sooo good!" Kero says with a mouth full of cake.
'Disgusting,' Spinner thinks. A strong guest of wind blows through the tree knocking Spinner out of his hiding place. Kero turns to see what appeared to be a strange looking stuffed toy.
"Hey, I wonder what kid lost this?" Kero asks.
'I better act like a toy, but I don't need him carrying me around...,' "My name is Spinner."
"Hey! you talk! You must be one of those robotic toys...,what will they think of next." Kero greets smiling.
'No wonder the cards were set loose. Oh well, might as well play along.'
"Hey, want some?" Kero offers.
"I don't think...,"
"Oh c'mon, try one..," Kero states and shoves a chocolate cup cake down Spinner's throat. The other sun guardian could resist and swallows greedily. "Got more?" Spinner asks with a crazed look.
"Uh, no," Kero answers.
"Then, let's go find more!" he shouts and like a shot he takes off.
'Oh no! if he gets to the bake sale...!' Kero thinks chasing after him.

As the chase went on, another on looker quietly slips in the crowd. A metal spider keeps to the shadows, and starts scanning all the patrons. Its sensors detect two unusual objects. The spider scurries off in per suit. Five seconds after this happens, the entirety of the crowd fall asleep.

'Interesting, they seem alive, but they don't register as living on my sensors." Fermont states.
"Maybe your sensors are defected?" Viktor retorts hoping to make Anton make a mistake.
"Let's find out...," Fermont says and sends the command to attack.

***

"Ok, now I've got...,ahh!" Kero shouts as a mini-missile rushes by his head. He turns to see the spider which twice his current form's size. Spinner tries to get away to find more sweets, but the spider lets out its own webbing trapping the Spinner.
"Alright you," Kero begins and transforms, "Let's see how you handle someone bigger than you!"

***

"Did you see that?" Fermont asks. "What is that thing?"
'What am I seeing here?' Viktor thinks watching the battle.

***

"Damn but you're fast." Keroberos lets out panting. He hadn't noticed that Spinner vanished within an Eli teleportation spell.
"Kero, what is...,Ahh! What is that!?" Sakura cries.
"Another one of Fermont's toys...,I'd appreciate a little help!" he shouts avoiding the webbing.
"Sword Card!" she cries.

***

"What!?" Fermont shouts at the monitor.
"Guess you didn't research them enough." Viktor teases relishing the moment.
"You know about this!?"
"Hmmm, let me think...,no." Viktor states.
"Ok, let's see how she deals with this!" Fermont barks. He was glad that he was recording this for later analysis.

Sakura tries to bring down the sword, but a ball of pure electricity hits her. She lets out a whimper of pain. That had been the sight Lee had come upon.
"Force, no my plight, release the light, lightning!" he snarls and an above average bolt of lightning smashing into the spider making it back off. "You ok?" he asks helping Sakura.
"I'm a little shaken." she answers leaning up against him.
"Let's try this...," Lee says and sends his idea through the link. She nods and Lee pulls her against her with her back flush to his front. She puts her hands on top of his which were on the hilt.
"Force, no our plight," they begin in unison.
"Whoa this ought to...," Keroberos says feeling the build up.
"Release the light...,lightning!" they both cry out. A loud thunder clap sounds two seconds after a gold bolt of lightning hits the spider frying all its circuits.

***

"What was that?" Meilin asks. She and Wulf had found somewhere quiet to make out, but before either could tear the clothes of the other, they had heard the thunder clap.
"No clouds...,that must have been magical. C'mon, let's go make sure they're alright.

***

"Ok, I didn't think you would get into so much trouble." Eli states to the now recovered Spinner.
"I apologize, master. I lost it and almost cost us our secrecy."
"Sakura didn't find out about us, but Fermont did and to find him I would have to use too much magic. I don't want to go to the outskirts of town or Fey would discover what I was doing and stop me. I'm in a real pickle now."

"You certainly fried this one, Sakura." Josh comments looking over the bot.
"I had help." she says smiling at Lee.
"Was it trying to find me again?" Madison asks.
"It's the most likely possibility." Josh replies taking out the self-destruct device.
"Uh, I think it saw everything." Kero comments.
"What!?" Lee shouts.
"He's right, here's the transmitter. He now knows about me and your magic." Josh says.
"Great...," Meilin dryly comments.

***

"Damn it!" Eli swears.
"Master?" Ruby asks.
"Fermont knows and I can't even attempt to find him without compromising myself to either Sakura or Fey." Eli says in frustration. "This last events have been nothing but blunders." Ruby and Spinner look at each other. If this kept up then their master might go for more drastic measures.

"Fermont has but Eli in a bind, this ought to be taken advantage of. Sian, you said they are going to be on another field trip?" Fey asks.
"Yes, another museum." Sian answers board.
"Good, keep in constant link with me. I want to know the moment that Eli strikes." Fey says smirking and Sian nods.
