The four men managed to get to the canyon, Zeke and Organique with the chef's RV and The brothers with lion power, to see that the cubs could not run much longer. Zeke jumped out immediately and extended a robot arm from his backpack to grab the cubs.
"You two okay?" Zeke said petting one of them in the ear.
The young cub licked Zeke's hand, causing him to giggle.
"You two are new cubs of He Who Breathes Fire!" Martin said excitedly. "I wonder what I'm gonna name you two! Maybe, Survivor and Runway! Oh, or Claw and Paw, rhyming names!"
As Martin went on, Organique watched as the herd passed on in suspicion as to why the wildebeest were stampeding. He looked at the back of the herd and saw three wildebeest limping far behind with injuries.
"Zeke, we got hurt ones in the back." Organique said, causing the others to look with him.
"Whatever injured them was probably what spooked them all into stampeding." Zeke concluded, walking to the edge of the canyon before jumping down.
Martin and Chris, seeing that the canyon had a long drop, immediately looked over to see if Zeke was okay. They saw that he fell on rock that stuck out of the side.
"You coming?" Said inventor asked, as if he didn't know he could have been hurt himself.
The brothers followed Zeke down and to the hurt Wildebeest. Said animals stopped and prepared to attack if necessary.
"Easy...we are here to help…" Zeke said slowly, before putting the robot arm away.
The wildebeest hesitated, but had no choice as they slumped down in pain.
"Martin, Chris, grab those two." Zeke commanded as he reached for the one in the middle.
The brothers, still in lion power suits, picked up the Gnus and put them on their shoulders without much of a problem, but were surprised to see that Zeke was able to do the same thing with not much problem either.
"Whoa!" Chris said in awe. "You're very...very…"
"Strong?" Zeke finished, extending the arm up for Organique to grab and pull him up. "I use robots to do this too, but I like doing things myself. I mean, it's not like I'm a lazy asshole who uses robots for literally everything."
"...We can tell you so many stories." Martin said.
Zeke was lifted, with a struggle on Organique's side, and he lowered the arm to the Brothers. The Wildebeests were grabbed first, so there won't be a strain on carrying all of their weight together. As Martin was about to grab the arm, Chris saw two shadows about to run into them.
"Martin, look out!" Chris exclaimed, pushing the elder out of the way.
The two shadows ran into just Chris, causing his suit to deactivate and him to hit the ground repeatedly before stopping a few feet away, bruised and unconscious.
"Chris!"
Martin wanted to run to the younger, but what ran him over stood in his way. Martin gasped when he saw that it was he and Chris' alternates, Christian and Matthew, with their red and black version of the rhino power.
"Well, this is a surprising turn of events…" Christian said, his red rhino suit deactivating.
Matthew said nothing as he deactivated his black rhino suit, he just had a stoic look at Martin. Martin growled a lion's growl.
"Why did you hurt my brother?" He asked.
"We had no intention of hitting him." Christian answered in a nonchalant, uncaring manner with a smile. "We thought you were Envirotick and the Salad-eater, but with dust in your eye, it hard to tell east from west."
"Hello Christian." Zeke said, lifting the arm, which was damaged by the charging brothers. "I hope you're on the happy pills today. Otherwise, you will leave a bad impression to our new friends."
As Martin was wondering what he meant by happy pills, Christian glared at Zeke for a split second before looking at Chris, still knocked out.
"New friends huh?" Christian asked, smirking the same smirk as in the picture. "Never thought you had good taste in good-looking friends, Ezekiel."
Zeke snarled at the name until he saw Christian walking to Chris.
"Leave 'em alone, you psycho!" Organique said before Zeke could.
Matthew, who's been eerily quiet, gasped a little before his face quickly became stoic again. Christian paused for a minute with a twitch before walking toward Organique's direction. Without warning, Organique's arm was stabbed from a knife being thrown by the alternate Chris.
"Don't call me that again…" Christian said in an dangerously blank tone.
"Organique!" Zeke and Martin yelled.
As Zeke was tending to the large vegetarian, Christian turned to the elder brother.
"Get those two." Christian motions to Chris and Martin, who is trying to get Chris on his back. "We might not have lions or tree huggers, but we'll get a new set of test monkeys one way or another."
Matthew nodded without question and reactivated his rhino power before running to Martin to knock him out. Martin, with Chris on his back, moved in time and ran to the wall to climb. Matthew ran back and into the wall, causing it shake. Martin shook with it and started to fall.
Another robot arm came down and grabbed Martin by the waist, pulling him up and out of the Canyon. Chris fell off of Martin with a yank, into Matthew's arms.
"Oh no you don't!" Zeke said sending down the arm to grab Chris.
Matthew swung his horn, easily snapping the arm in half. He didn't notice a small device drop into his suit.
"Why?…" Zeke mumbled in distraught of his two destroyed robot arms.
A strong wind blew in, surprise all but the Kroock Brothers.
"Looks like our ride's here." Christian said with a smirk.
A copy of the Tortuga landed on the other side of the canyon and lowered the mouth opening for the brothers.
"You want your brother back, come and get him." Christian taunted as he and Matthew walked up to the Tortuga.
Martin growled and try to leap to the other side, but he was stopped and pulled back by Zeke, who had one of the Wildebeest over his shoulders.
"No! They'll get you too!" He said.
"But-"
The Tortuga lifted off the ground and flew out of sight. Zeke loaded the Gnus and Organique, whose arm was bandaged, into the RV and waited for Martin to come in.
"We can't just leave." The Blue brother said deactivating his suit, worried for the younger that was taken. "They're getting away with Chris!"
"No they're not. Look!" Zeke showed him a tablet that show a map and a blinking blue light. "I a feeling (a sorrowful feeling…) that Matthew would break my arm so I couldn't get Chris back. So, I put a tracking device on him to be able to find them wherever they go. Always have a back-up plan! That's what I say."
Organique chuckled with a strain.
"Which is why you have no back-up plan for teleporting the brothers home."
Organique yelped when Zeke punched his wounded arm with a scowl. But Martin didn't feel it was the time to joke
"T-Then let look now!"
"Not now. Now, we need to get the Gnus and Organique back to heal their injuries."
Martin opened his mouth to protested, but sighed, knowing that Zeke was right.
"Sorry…" Martin apologized.
"Don't be." Zeke said with a smile. "I would react like you if it was my brother."
Martin stepped into the vehicle and Zeke drove them back to Zeke's jet.
'Hang in there Chris, I be back for you.'
