Everyone had lost hope, the Nixels had overwhelmed our heroes, and the negativity was starting to attract more powerful Grimm.

Major Nixel Turned to his partners in crime in the airship. "Sorry about speeding up the plan, but the big boss was getting impatient."

"That's still no excuse to not tell us beforehand" Said an angry Cinder, her right eye ablaze.

"Whatever! Now let's see how the Nixels ar- WHAT!?" Said Major N. as he looked down the periscope. "What's going on down there?!"

"Is there a problem... Major?" said Mercury, menacingly. All Major Nixel did was put the feed up on the screen. It showed a pile of Nixels pulsing, throbbing, and growing in size. "What's going on?"

The bulge started to glow with a faint red aura. Then beams of orange light started to seep through until the bulge grew so big, it burst in a fiery explosion, sending dozens of burnt Nixels everywhere. Standing in the middle of the explosion was Flain, but he looked different. Rather than being a small creature with a big head, he had somehow MIXed with himself to give himself a bigger body, longer legs and arms, and a flamethrower arm that looked like his old head!

"Ooooh... YEAH! LET'S MIX IT UP A NOTCH!" before tossing a few rainbow cubits into the air "GUYS! MIXing with each other is great! But if we really want to be powerful, we gotta use the best parts of ourselves! So grab a cubit, and GET MIXEL!"

Flain's words inspired the other mixels. One by one, they started to mix with themselves. After several flashes of light, every mixel had turned into what appeared to be a human version of themselves with armor and weapons made from their previous bodies, like Tesslo now having a whip from his tail, or Krader having a giant left gauntlet/shield.

Flain fired his Flamethrower arm in the air and shouted "ReMIXed Mixels, ATTACK!" and started taking down huge swarms of Nixels at once. But while the fight was now much more evenly matched, they were still outnumbered since the airship was still active.

"Remind me again why you're not more concerned about the Mixels' newfound reMIX ability." said Emerald, putting a hand on her hips as she questioned the Major.

"Simple. With the tech you gave us, we made a regeneration station." Major Nixel pressed a button that showed a reMIXed Torts fighting off a horde of Nixels with four extra slime hands "Every time a Nixel is destroyed, this airship sucks their essence back up..." Every time Torts destroyed a nixel, puff of light grey smoke came from the body and floated into the air. "The essence is used to make a clone of that Nixel, and that clone gets teleported back down to the battlefield. The Mixels can't win!"

"I don't think s-s-s-so!" said the Vulk/Zaptor MIX from behind the quartet of villains.

Major Nixel only pointed at it and shouted "IT'S A MIX!"

earlier that week:

Rokit was standing in front of Vulk and Tesslo with a blueprint behind him.

"Gentlemen, recent intel suggests that the enemy has been creating a device that is capable of taking the essence of fallen creatures, and using said essence to create an identical, battle-ready clone!"

"So what do you need us-s-s-s for?" asked Zaptor.

"Yeah, what are we gonna do about it?" said Vulk.

"Pothole. Imagine it's a pothole." Said Rokit, deadpan.

There was a few seconds of silence before Zaptor and Vulk unanimously said "oooOOOHhh. Got it."

"Now, any questions?... Good. Dissmissed!"

"HA! Even with that MIXes' power, this airship has a super force-field around the Regenerator! It's indestructible! You still can't win!"

"That would be the cas-s-s-se," said the MIX as it rubbed the tower on its head ,"If I had only charged for a few seconds. But check your watch M-m-m-major. How long has this-s-s-s battle lasted?"

"Exactly..." MN looked at his watch ", 29 minutes and 50 seconds, why?"

The MIX only smiled as it rubbed the tower on its head faster than ever before, sending blue and orange bolts of energy flying. An orange sphere of energy on the tip grew bigger and bigger as the MIX started to quickly count down.

"TEN! NINE! EIGHT! SEVEN!"

MN panicked as the other three passengers had a look of fear on their faces. "ESCAPE POD!" shouted MN as he slammed down on a button, encasing the four villains in a metal orb.

"SIX! FIVE! FOUR!"

The face on the airship spit out the cramped pod, sending it into the heart of the emerald forest.

"THREE! TWO! ONE!"

Everyone on the ground stopped fighting as they heard Zaptors voice from the airship shout "NUCLEAR MIX-X-X-XEL BLAST!" Followed by the airship exploding in a blast of blue and orange energy. The blast took out all the Grimm below, leaving only the nixels, who shook in fear at the destruction of the regenerator. They tried to run away, but they were quickly defeated by the reMIXes and huntsmen.

Cleanup went by very quickly with the help of the mixels. The fires were put out by the MCFD, the damages were repaired quickly thanks to the weldos and klinkers, and the Trashos cleaned up the fallen nixels while the ones that surrendered were escorted by the MCPD along with Roman Torchwhick and Major Nixel. Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald claimed that they were captured and were going to be held hostage. While no Mixel believed a word they said, they played along for fear of loosing their chance to stop their plan. After returning them from questioning, Mercury and Emerald joined up with teams RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, Neptune, Sun, and a few beacon professors who were all standing in a circle listening to Flain, Slumbo, Screeno, Rokit, Tesslo, Magnifo, and Krader.

Magnifo "While this was a victory for us, this was only a small setback for the real villain."

Screeno "We know that someone is planing something big"

Tesslo "They think that they're unstoppable."

Rokit "And we WANT them to think that!"

Krader "Cause when they come."

Slumbo "We'll be stronger"

Flain "Cause when we all MIX together,"

All "We're stronger forever!"

The huntsmen and huntsmen-in-training raised their fists and cheered. While they knew that they were up against something bigger than anything anyone had ever faced before, they knew that with more training, and the help of the mixels, there was nothing that they couldn't take care of when they MIXed together.
