Jake and Megumi were walking together towards Pinstripe's mansion.

"Big place, doesn't look like it was always a house though."

"Yeah, you see those old ruins behind the house over there?" Megumi pointed to the remains of the old power station that polluted the islands over a decade ago.

"Yeah."

"That's what's left of the old power station, the storage wherehouse was converted into the mansion."

"I remember stories when I was young about this I think, is it safe? I thought the whole place was polluted."

"Well it was for a while but Dr Brio and NGin made sure the whole place was decontaminated."

As Jake and Megumi arrived everyone was already there, the young anthros were swimming in the pool, Crunch was cooking meat on the barbeque and NGin and Brio were drinking wine by the drinks table with Ernest. Tiny was sitting on a sun lounger next to Tani and Kong was half stoned on a deck chair. Chayenne was talking to Tani. Pinstripe got up from his lounger and welcomed Jake. Megumi went over to Coco and Tiffany who were also on sun loungers.

"Hey there, name's Pinstripe, this is my mate Tiffany, my son Tommy who's sitting by the pool over there and my two pals Blaze and his cuz Siegfried but he prefers Siegdog or Sieg."

"Interesting, so young." Jake mumbled to himself.

"Sorry?" Pinstripe asked.

"Oh nothing, who else is here?"

"That's Crash and Crunch over by the barbeque and his mate Tani is the Thylacine holding her daughter Tayna."

"No, way."

"No what?" Jake walked straight over to Crunch and Crash.

"Good evening Gen-Si- *ahem* Crash." Crash looked at him oddly.

"Woops, almost caused trouble by force of habit, Hi there, I'm Jake as you may already know." The moment Jake shook paws with Crash he collapsed to the ground.

Jake could hear nothing but feel a slight breeze blowing through his face. He opened his eyes and saw two hands holding onto a pair of handlebars in front of him. He was riding a bike down a suburban street and felt somebody supporting him from behind. The person behind him then let go and he was balancing the bike on his own.

"I've done it!" His voice seemed to say. Jake looked up to the sky to feel the breeze on his neck, he then saw small object in the sky above him, before he had a chance to see what it was somebody with brown fur suddenly grabbed him from the side.

"INCOMING GET DOWN!!!!!!!" Someone shouted. The scene then became very real and Jake heard the sound of a missile coming down and blowing up a house across the street. More explosions then followed.

"FIND SOME COVER!!!!!!!!"

*KABOOOM*!" A rocket landed enough distance in front of Jake to send him into shell shock. His sight became blurred and his ears were ringing. He could see the anthro that grabbed him also lying on a front lawn near him. Jake then felt two arms grab him and drag him away from the street to underneath the broken part of a destroyed tree. His vision was still blurred and could not make out whoever it was that was right next to him.

"I can't believe its already happening, don't worry Jake, I'll make sure you're safe from now on, get you away from all this." Jake's ears then started ringing really loudly as his vision whitened out.
