Sorry for the wait, here's the next chapter.
The scene shows the dig site, Swan was in the showers while Lucia was readying the drinks of celebration. They failed to notice the ground shaking a bit as they drink in the shower. A figure from the ground was about to get them when suddenly somewhere else a Velociraptor's foot was seen stopping really hard on the ground. The unknown digger went towards the other direction where the loud stopping was heard and moves really fast when it felt the vibration getting stronger. Once it got there, the vibration stops. The unknown digger moves to another direction as it pass to a rock where Jay, in his hybrid form, was sitting on it casually as he watched the unknown figure moving on the ground and somewhere else.
"Oh, he's good." Spiderman mutters in impress.
Sighing, Jay stood up and fast as lightning he made it back to the reserve and turned back to a human form and went to the others. Mike and Vida were there while Irelia, Alex and Sofia watched the kids Dreyer shows them the map and stabs the location with a knife.
"That's where Basson died." Dreyer said.
"Coordinates?" Burt asked.
Dreyer looks at him in confusion. "What?"
Burt added, "Longitude and latitude?"
"I don't do coordinates. Everything is in my head." Dreyer taps his head.
"What about field communications?" Travis added as he adjusted a cage for the trap.
Vida sighs, "Shut up already." She said in annoyance, "No one cares about those things just go to that place and deal with it already."
"Vida has a point." Sofia said.
Everyone else, minus Burt, muttered in agreement.
"Agreed," Jay spoke from behind. Everyone minus Vida, Nandi, and Mike, screamed. Larry jumped on Vida's arms and hugs her.
"HA!" Damien laughed with the others who finds it funny. Larry shrinks at his seat while Burt, Tyler, and Travis glared at the screen in annoyance.
"Dude! Where did you come from?" Larry exclaims as he clings at Vida who was giving him a death glare.
Jay gave him a blank look, "Here." He spoke dully before looking at Larry clinging at Vida. "I believe you should let go of her."
Larry looks at a blank face Vida and smiles weakly. But Vida was annoyed and then drops him on the ground hard. "OW!"
"Girl, you should learn to relax." Miko said to Vida.
Vida raised a brow. "I can be relaxed, once danger is out of the way." She said.
Devlin whispers to the kids. "When means once danger is out, she means until rouge monsters are slain."
The kids gulped at Vida. She's one though girl, no man can date her and live to tell the tale…well, except for an alien hunter.
Then a loud thunder came from outside and startled everyone, minus Vida, Nani, Jay, and Mike.
"What the hell was that?" Tyler asked.
"A monkey's wedding." Nandi said with a smile.
"A monkey getting married? What the heck does that mean?" Damien asked.
"And what's a monkey?" Bilbo asked.
Burt chuckles, "Local lingo, Sun shower."
"We get them every day, at this time of the year, at the exact same hour. You can set your watch to it." Nandi explains to them.
"1500 hours." Burt said while looking at his watch.
Nandi nodded, "Exactly. Mother Nature keeps to her rhythms." She said as she looks at the thunderclouds above.
"…Still don't get it." Damien said.
Then Baruti came, "Dr. Montabu. Nandi?" he called.
Nandi looks at him, "Yes?"
"I think you guys might wanna come and see this." He said.
"Why?" Burt asked.
"Dr. Swan and his girlfriend, Lucia, discovered something." He said.
Everyone looked at each other before going to the vehicles. Vida told Sofia and Alex to watch the kids as she and the others went to the dig site and saw Swan and Lucia. When they got off, Swan greeted them and explains about his and Lucia's discovery. Jay didn't need to know them because he just saved their lives. Swan and Lucia showed them the fossilized skeleton of a big Graboid.
"If you're dumb, you bleed." Burt mutters as he looks at the fossil before looking at Wyk. "Your problem is bigger than I thought, Mr. Van Wyk."
"How so?" Wyk asked.
Burt looks at everyone, "This Graboid is much larger than the North American variety."
Dreyer scoffs at him. "It's Africa. Everything's bigger." He said.
"Everything except my munitions. Knowing your enemy's strength is Intel 101." Burt said before looking at Wyk. "What other surprises do you have in store for me?"
"I'm learning as I go, Mr. Gummer." Wyk said.
Vida inspects the fossil. "Hmm, this Graboid is different from the rest."
Mike nodded, "Yeah, maybe it's another species of Graboids."
"Another species. Interesting." Wu mutters out.
"Interesting?! Son, that's a dangerous creature that can eat you alive!" Burt yelled.
"Didn't Val tame them." Damien blurted out.
"Quiet you!"
"An African Graboid." Jay said.
"For once, I can agree with you three. This one's leaner, too. Much leaner and more dangerous." Burt said.
Travis recorded everything, "We're gonna need a big-ass cage." He said.
"Or an army of soldiers." Larry added awe as he looks at the fossil.
"Still get eaten." Devlin added out, earning nods from people.
At the refuge, Val and Amahle were playing in her room as Val shows her Cuddles the mutated Ice-Borer, Celestia the dragon, and Pluto the Poro. Amahle promises to keep them a secret as they dress them up in animal costume. Monica made a blank look when she was dressed up as a Vulture, Cuddles was dressed up as a rhino, Celestia was dressed up as Crocodile, and Pluto was dressed up as a lion.
There were few snickers from the scene, seeing the blank look of Monica when she wears the vulture. Monica just stared blankly at the screen, Val owes her breakfast of toast and jam.
The scene shows Damien at the living room playing his video game counsel that he brought and uses Nandi's TV to play multiplayer with IM, in his iguana mode. Rocco, wearing a night mask, was snoring inside his cage. Aggie was reading her spell book while Quinn reads about African Weapons. Gem was reading a book about plants in Africa. Sofia and Alex were making sandwiches for the kids to eat.
"A wonder whit's taking them so long." Aggie asked as she looks up from her book.
Quinn did the same and said, "They probably discovered something about the Fireflies and wanted to see for answers."
Damien asked while playing his game. "Hey, what was that ministry dude, Van what his name said he's with?"
"I believe it's called South African Wildlife Federation. Why?" Gem asked, looking up from her book.
Damien paused the game and looks at them, "Well…I found it kinda strange about that guy. He doesn't dress like the ones who wanted to save animals." He explains.
"How would you know?" Gem asked.
"Hello! Raised by thieves, crooks, bandits, and criminals here and of course I would know." Damien said, "And besides, if he works for the Wildlife how come he doesn't contact them for help."
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Damien has a point." Gem said.
"That's can't be true." Burt said.
"Wanna bet?" Damien wagers.
The three girls looked at him before looking at each other. Then Vida, Mike, Jay, and Nandi came in. "Alright, is everyone ready?" Nandi asked.
"Ready for what?" Gem asked as she closes her book.
"The village here is having a festival of some sort." Vida explains, "Nandi is going to give us a ride there."
"Awesome!" Damien raised his fist up.
"Get your jacket Damien. Night in Africa is colder here." Jay said as Damien rushed towards his given room.
"Call Val and Amahle to get ready." Nandi called.
"You got it!" Damien replied.
As they get ready, Alex and Sofia brought sandwiches just in case the kids get hungry. Celestia, Pluto, and Cuddles where hidden inside the truck as they reach to the festival. The kids and teens stayed in the truck as they watched the festival. Nandi sits on the log next to the tribal chief. The natives were doing a war dance and they saw them explaining about the Graboids and Fireflies. The kids were eating their sandwiches and Sofia and Alex keeps an eye on them while Vida, Mike, and Jay were disguising something. IM was in his iguana disguise as he dances inside the truck while Celestia, Cuddles, Pluto, and Monica uses some cans to make music. Rocco was snoring inside the truck. Damien was bored out of his mind until he felt a tap on his head. Looking up, he saw Jay holding up a tablet and gives it to Damien. Damien grins and plays a game with the tablet.
"How are you holding up, mi hermano?" Jay asked.
"Pretty good, but I don't know about Van Weirdo guy." Damien said as plays his game, "He doesn't have the 'I love to protect animals' vide like he's hiding something.
Jay rubs his chin and thinks, "Maybe you're right." He mutters out as Damien plays his game.
"Yeah I am." Damien whispers with a grin.
Then Travis, Tyler, and Larry came. "Hey!" Travis waved at Nandi as he sits next to her while Tyler and Larry watched the festival.
"You made it." Nandi said.
Travis watched the festival and saw a prop of a Graboid and Firefly. "Wow. This is quite the rager."
"Yeah." Nandi nodded.
"You guys got a keg?"
Nandi gave him a small pot and said, "Yeah. Try this."
Travis takes it and inspects it. "What's this?"
"Courage." She said. Travis glanced at her and the drink before taking a sip and pulls it away while making a disgust look. "And?"
"It tastes like cow piss." Travis said in disgust.
"What's that mean?" Dev asked.
"He drank cow pee." Devlin said, earning few snickers from the crowd.
Nandi chuckled. "You want more? Try again." She said.
"No, I really don't." Travis said as he puts the pot down and looks at the dancers, "So, what is this?"
"This is a warrior dance. Our ancestors hunting the lnkanyamba and the Impundulu."
Travis was confused, "What's that?"
"Impundulu. It's what you call the Ass Blaster."
"Ass Blaster." Travis understands now, "Yes. Yes. Hey, you know, you make Ass Blaster sound good."
"You're disgusting." Jay's voice said from behind. Travis screams like a little girl and falls off the log with a loud, "OW!"
Few of the audience laughed at the screen, finding it funny to see a grown man being scared by Jay.
"How are you doing that?!" Travis yelled at Jay, who ignores him.
Nandi turns and saw Jay and Mike standing behind them. "Is there something that you need?"
"Mike and I are going back to get our phones. We forgot to get them before we left." Jay said. "Can you keep an eye on mi hermano. He tends to get in trouble." He said, referring to Damien. Nandi nodded, and the three boys leave, not knowing they were planning something.
Meanwhile at the garage, Baruti and Thaba were fixing a truck while Baruti talks to Thaba, "You know, Thaba, I'm really not sure about these guys except the ones with the kids. Especially this Travis guy. I mean...I don't like the way he's looking at my Nandi."
"Is she your Nandi, now?" Thaba asked jokingly.
"Yeah, well, she could be." Baruti said with a smile.
"You like her?" Val asked Baruti who blushed while Nandi smiled at him.
Thaba chuckles, "Good luck with that, bro."
"A guy can dream, right?" Baruti jokes.
"Dream us up a couple of cold ones, would you?" Thaba chuckles.
"Hundreds, boet." Baruti added.
"Ah...To dreams." Thaba said.
"Hola."
Thaba and Baruti yelled in shock and turned to see Jay with his hands in his pockets. Thaba sighs and said, "You almost gave us a heart attack."
"Man, Jay's really good at scaring people." Damien said.
"It's a habit." Jay said.
"Sorry but I came here to check on you two since you guys didn't show in the festival." Jay said.
"We're just finishing up, don't worry." Baruti said.
Jay nodded before taking out icy blue candy, "Want some?"
"What are those?" Val asked.
"Frost candies." Devlin explains. "They're magical candies that keep you cool in hot summer days and hide your heat signature for a few hours."
The two nodded and took one before eating it. They shivered a bit when they swallowed it. Jay swallowed his but didn't shivered. "So, are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Yes, we are." Thaba said before they got in a truck that was outside before heading off. Not knowing a weird creature had landed as it searches for food. It looks like a Firefly (Assblaster) but more African like and it was big.
Everyone stared at the Firefly, it was bigger that it's cousins. Owen looked at it in disbelief before muttering. "That is one ugly motherfucker."
It was searching for food as it uses its heat-sensor to find food and it did. There was a strong heat signature somewhere and it will get it. It readies itself before taking off to the sky as it searches for its meal.
Back the reserve, everyone headed back after the festival was over. Burt was still there and tells them their late and they need to get ready for hunting. Vida gives him a blank look and said harshly, "Mr. Gummer, you have no idea who is the good guy and the bad guy."
"I know who the good guys are, Missy, we are and the bad guys are these here Graboids!" Burt exclaims making Vida to roll her eyes.
Before they went inside, an African man came in a hurry and started speaking in his native tongue as he points at a direction. "What the hell is he talking about?" Travis asked.
"He's saying that he saw a Firefly nearby the bridge." Baruti translated, "It had some sort of meat in its jaws."
Burt grabs a gun and said, "Move out. We have ourselves an Assblaster on the loss. Those fart-flaming sons of bitches have crossed your DMZ. You need to evacuate everyone, ASAP."
Nandi nodded as she and Baruti left to tell the others to evacuate. Travis and Larry help while Burt was about to leave but Travis stops him. "I'm going with ya, Burt."
"I don't think so, Yankee." Burt said as he walks away.
Travis catches up to him, "Hey, Gummy Bears, wait up."
"Don't call me that." Burt said. "You want to make yourself useful? Go help with the evac. Then, feel free to join in. Think you can manage that?"
Then Nandi came with a machine gun. "Mr. Gummer. I think you'll find this useful."
Burt awed at the weapon as Nandi gives it to him. "There is a God. R5. Full banana clip."
"I zeroed the scope myself." Nandi said proudly.
Jay came and looks at the weapon before looking at Nandi with a raised brow, "Where'd a veterinarian like you get a machine gun?
Nandi stared at him and answered, "You don't want to know."
"For some reason, I should never know." Jay mutters to himself.
"I like your style." Burt grins before he Wyk and Dreyer left as they got in the vehicle and drove off, not knowing that Vida, Mike and Jay were watching them.
Meanwhile, Val was packing her things to evacuate the area. Amahle was helping Val pack when suddenly Val stops and looks out the window. Tilting her head, Val puts her shirt down and went outside the back door. Amahle follows her along with Monica, Celestia, Cuddles, and Pluto. They went to the back and saw Val standing there and looking at the sky.
"What is she up to?" Burt mutters out.
"Val?" Amahle was about to go near Val when suddenly a Firefly (Assblaster) landed in front of Val and roars. Amahle screams in shock and was about to call for help when suddenly Val lifts her hand and gently pats its head, making it purr. Amahle gasps in shock and amazement as Val strokes its beak. "Wow."
"Oh, come on! She can tame that one too!" Burt yelled out.
"Indeed." Vida's voice said from behind. Amahle turns to see Vida behind her as she walks over to Val without fear at the Firefly. She kneels next to Val as she continues stroking the Firefly'r beak, "Val. We need its favor for us." She said to the little girl.
The scene shows Dreyer driving a vehicle as Burt readies his weapon. Dreyer then explains, "They must've flown in north of the river." He said, believing there are more somewhere.
"Ass Blasters don't fly, they glide. They mix several volatile gastrointestinal chemicals that actually ignites, allowing them to achieve blast off." Burt explains.
Dreyer laughs, "They fart to take off?" he said but Bury and Wyk didn't laugh. "That's funny." They reach their destination and got out of the vehicle. Burt got ready by wearing and camo cloak with something inside of it that hides his heat signature.
Burt heard something, "Shh. Listen." They were quiet and heard a strange sound. "You hear that?"
"You've gone paranoid sound?" Devlin said, earning snickers and chuckles from the audience while Burt made an annoyed.
"Black-backed jackals. Scavengers." Wyk said.
"All right. Take it ahead and kill the engine. We'll have a look." Burt said
"You sure do come prepared, Mr. Gummer." Wyk said.
"Basson was killed on that koppie, just underneath that cliff face."
Burt uses his night vision to see a hidden cave near the rocks, "I think we have our Ass Blaster colony." He said.
Dreyer took out a bait, "What about the bait?" he asked.
"You can use human sacrifices." Smaug suggested.
"You're saying I should give myself up to be food for those assholes!" Burt yelled at the mighty dragon.
"Perhaps, but you will just make them sick." Smaug said, earning some laughter from the audience while his mate rolled her eyes and smiled at him. Burt grumbled and turn back to the screen.
Burt tosses him a tinfoil ball. "Don't we need to make it hot, so these bastards can see it? For sports injuries. Forget the meat. We need heat." He said. Then they heard something. They turn and saw an unknown figure doing something.
"Is that it?" Wyk whispers out.
Burt readied his gun, "Sure as hell ain't Mickey Mouse. Stand behind me so he can't read your heat signature." He said as he points his gun at it.
"Remember, Mr. Gummer, capture, not kill." Wyk said.
Burt points his gun while Dreyer points his rifle with a dart inside. "Easy…" Burt said to Dreyer. "Take your damn shot."
Dreyer grins and said, "Say hello to my dart, bitch." He fires the dart at the Firefly's leg. It shrieks and turns to the direction where the dart was fired.
"Don't panic." Burt said as Wyk and Dreyer became scared. "Hold your position! Easy." The Firefly came closer to them and doesn't feel sleepy.
"Screw that, I'm out of here!" Dreyer yelled as he and Wyk made a run for it. "No, stay with me, stay!"
Vida scoffs at the screen. "Coward." She mutters out.
Those men have no idea how to survive out there, her clan was born and raise in the arts of the hunt and survival, and they mustn't show fear in the eyes of battle.
The Firefly senses their heat signature and took off and get Dreyer. Dreyer was about to get inside the vehicle when suddenly a white smoke came, and no one could see.
"What the hell is going on?!" Burt yells as he tries to use his night vision goggles, but he couldn't see anything. Dreyer became scared until he heard a strange growl like a raptor. He whips his head back and forth as he searches for the sound but suddenly pair of blood red reptilian eyes glared at him and the next thing he knew razor sharp teethes came and attacked him.
Everyone, minus Vida, Jay, and Devlin, jumped from their seats in surprise, wondering what just happened.
Burt and Wyk heard Dreyer's scream of pain and then silence. Once the smoke clears, they saw Dreyer's body on the ground and his body was filled with injuries. They search for the Firefly but was nowhere to be seen. Burt and Wyk went to the body and inspects it. They saw chunks on his flesh were missing and claw marks on his bloody face.
"What the hell happen here?" Wyk mutters fearfully.
Burt stood up and looks around the dark jungle, "I don't know Mr. Van Wyk but I got a feeling that something is hunting us." He said. "Let's move." He said as he and Wyk move out. They search for any signs of Fireflies, but Burt keeps saying Assblasters a lot.
"This doesn't add up. Ignored the thermal flare. Came directly at us." Burt mutters out until they reach what looks like a nest. Burt came closer and saw something that made him shock as he picks up what looks like an egg. "Protecting the nest, weren't you? Roger that. Where there are Ass Blasters, there are Graboids."
Then he heard a gun reloading and turns and saw Wyk pointing a gun at him, "Sorry, I'm going to have to take that little money-maker from you."
Burt stares at him, "What're you doing?"
"Cashing in, hopefully. Why don't you hand that over?"
"I knew he was bad guy!" Damien said before turning to Gem. "Pay up Gemstone!"
Gem glares at him, causing Damien to shut up instantly.
Burt glares at him, "I should've known you were dirty."
"Thought it was the luckiest day of my life. I send Dreyer out to get a cheetah cub, and he runs smack-bang into a flying carnivore." Wyk said, "I would have use Ms. Grady to do it but she's heavily guarded with her body guards."
"Who are you?"
"Let's start with who I'm not. I'm not with the South African Wildlife Ministry."
"This is not gonna end good for you." Burt said angrily.
"Sure, it will. An Assblaster would've fetched 100 times what a cheetah cub or a rhino horn would've. Dead one, not nearly so much."
"You're a common poacher?"
"Morally, I'm okay with it." He gives Burt a blank look. "You. Not so much. Now, get into the cage, or I'll shoot you in the stomach."
Burt gives him a stern look, "Shoot me…kill me…but you won't cage me."
Few hours later, morning
Burt was in the cage alone with a camera attached to it. There was a bottle of water in it as he struggles to break free. "It ain't over till it's over!" he yells from a distance.
Everyone, minus Val and the serious ones, were laughing their butts off that scene. Burt grumbles as he blushed in embarrassment. The parents and guardians covered the eyes of the children, they aren't supposed to see an old person in his underwear.
The scene shows Wyk driving a vehicle happily with the Graboid egg inside the ice chest. He is going to make million with this egg and if he uses Val to get the other Graboids or a Firefly he'll be the richest man alive! He didn't notice a rifle was at a distance and was fired at his wheel. It pops and causing Wyk to lose control of the vehicle. He crashes on a ditch and the vehicle was stuck. He tried to get out when suddenly something ripped out his door to reveal Mike glaring at him.
"Huh, never seen that side of Mike before." Owen said.
Wyk acted all kindly, "Ah, Mr. Jones, thank God you are-" he was cut off when suddenly Mike grabs him by the collar and throws him out of the vehicle and in to the ground. He looks up to see a blank face Vida.
"Hello, Mr. Van Wyk." Vida said his name dangerously, "I see you're trying to escape."
"Escape? Oh Ms. Dinanve you got it all wrong." Wyk lied as he gets up and backs away a bit, "I wasn't-"
Vida points her pistol at him, "Don't make me shoot you." She threatened. "You are not from a South African Wildlife Ministry because there isn't one. Damien was right, you don't have the 'I love to protect animals' vide. We did our research, you're a wanted poacher for stealing and killing endangered species and sell them in black-markets."
"Wow, Vida's good." Quinn said.
"Yeah, she must've plan the whole thing." Spiderman said. "Is her kind always like this?"
"Yup, and they know how to deal how to hunt." D said.
Wyk backs away when suddenly Mike came to Vida's side with the ice chest in his arms. He opens it and removes the egg before dropping the chest on the ground. "So, you were trying to escape." Vida glares at Wyk, "That is low even for you Wyk."
Wyk panicked and took out his gun before pull the trigger but nothing happened. Vida took out that looks like ammo, "Looking for something?" Vida mocked dangerously. Wyk backs away and heard a growl behind Vida and Mike. A Velociraptor with dark brown scales and blood red eyes came behind them with blood covered its jaws and neck. Wyk gasps in horror as it turns into Jay as he growls at him in his hybrid form.
Vida glanced at Jay as she throws the ammo behind her and glares at Wyk. "It looks like Jay finished off Dreyer."
Jay spits out some blood on his mouth to ground, "His blood taste like shit." He mutters out.
Ruff sighs dreamily at Jay. "Whatta hunk." She mutters happily.
"I wish he was my brother." Tuff muttered.
Vida smirks at Wyk and made her fingers to be a gun. "It looks like your pouching days are over, Mr. Van Wyk." She made her fingers to a firing motion and suddenly jumping out of the ground was an African Graboid. It lets out a roar as dives towards Wky with open jaws. Wyk screams as the African Graboid consumes him and went back to the ground.
Everyone stared in silence, they're minds were blown to see how Vida could handle that with Mike and Jay.
Vida, Mike, and Jay stared at the scene before noticing a tentacle of the Graboid hissing at Mike. Mike looks at it and realizes that he has the egg. "Huh? Oh…right, sorry." He said as he gives the egg back to the tentacle as it takes it before slithering off to another direction.
Jay crosses his arms behind his head and lets out a sigh, "Well, that's taken care of…how are we going to find the idiot survivalist?" Jay asked referring to Burt.
Vida waves him off, "The kids got that covered." She said before walking away.
"You sent the kids to get me?" Burt asked Vida in annoyance.
"Yes, yes I did." Vida said casually.
The scene shows a Chimera named Triple D (Darrius is the Lion, Demetri the goat and Dion the snake) was sniffing the ground as he searches for Burt's scent with Damien, IM and Rocco on his back. Travis was somewhere in the savanna looking for Burt and the kids decided to help secretly. Aggie was riding on Ouranós the Pegasus, Quinn was riding on Araceli the Griffin, Val was riding on Amalthea the Unicorn with Monica, Celestia, Cuddles and Pluto, and Gem was riding on Shetan's horse form. Shetan is a Babadook and he's Gem's partner. His horse form was huge and is pitch black with slightly white hoofs a long wispy oil spill color mane and moon white slit eyes.
"The kids are on the case." Spiderman said as they watched the scene.
"This is humiliating." Burt mutters under his breathe, bunch of kids are going to find him in that state.
Triple D sniffs around and caught the scent of Burt.
"They've got the scent!" Damien said as Triple D dashed off followed by the others. They reach to the top and saw Burt half naked inside a lion cage. Damien saw this and burst into fist of laughter, "HAHAHA! OMG! That's' hilarious!" Damien took out his phone and videos Burt inside the cage as a lion came and pee at Burt.
"You're going to use that to blackmail him, correct?" Jay asked Damien who grin and nodded.
Gem rolled her eyes and made Shetan go down followed by Araceli and Quinn. They scared off the lion and Burt look at them in shock.
"How the hell you get those?!"
"You don't want to know." Gem and Quinn said unison as Quinn gets off her Griffon and went towards Burt's cage and rips it open with her bare hands. Burt crawls out and the others came.
Aggie covers her eyes and exclaims. "Put on some clothes why don't ye!"
Burt grabs hi clothes and puts them on until Travis came. He stops the truck and was shock to see the kids and mythical creatures. "What the-"
"Don't asked." The kids, minus Val, said unison.
"We don't have time to chit-chat. We have to find Van Wyk and stops him before he does something stupid."
Damien was saving the video of Burt's embarrassing scene and said, "No need to. Mi hermano, Mike and Vida got it covered."
"And why is that?" Burt asked.
"They figured it out faster than you two. Mike did some research about Van Dork and learns that he's a fraud. So, they made a plan that you idiots didn't think of."
"For once, I agree with him." Gem said, "Come on, we're heading back." Gem made Shetan head back to the village along with the others as Burt gets on the truck and Travis drives it.
Back at the village, Vida, Mike, Irelia, Alex, Jay, and Sofia were there along with some Fireflies and some Graboids. Val made sure they stay calm until she gets back. Jay was lying on a log as he lets out a loud yawn. Jay clean himself before anyone could notice that he just killed Dreyer. Mike was checking his watch as he worries about the kids. Alex and Sofia were feeding the Fireflies some meat while Irelia was hugging a Firefly half to death, the Firefly was chocking as it tries to break free from the young hybrid human Xenomorph. Larry was taking pictures at the African Graboids and Fireflies while Tyler stayed in a distance away from them. Swan and Lucia were studying them up close while not getting in their way. Amahle was with Baruti and her mom as they check on the villagers. Amahle worries for her friends as she holds her bag. Then they heard a truck coming and saw the kids riding on the truck with Travis and Burt. As the truck stops, the kids got off and went towards the teens.
"We found him, but Burt needs a bath." Quinn said, "Literally."
"Hose him down, so you don't touch him." Owen suggested.
"With soup and many perfumes." Devlin added.
Burt gives them a look as he watched Val petting the Firefly on its head and whispers something that he couldn't hear. Damien came and said.
"Well, Burt, it looks like your Burt Zone has become the Val's Zone." Damien walks away with IM as an iguana and Rocco on his shoulders, leaving a mouth dropped Burt.
"Another point goes to Val." Quinn said, earning nods from her friends.
Vida called Simon and explain to him everything and said the African Graboids and Fireflies are now bonded to Val, meaning they're going to follow Val back home. Simon agrees that they will prepare transport for the Graboids and Fireflies. Vida understood and ends the call.
The Villagers were making music as everyone dance even the Fireflies danced with them. It was funny and cool for them to do. Val and Amahle were dancing together with Baruti happily and Thaba was playing the music with the others. Burt was sitting at a log at the far distance as he watched as the Fireflies and Graboids partying with the locals. He couldn't believe on just what happen. Graboids, Shriekers, and Assblasters should be killers, not lovable creatures! How can a little girl do that!?
He was lost in thoughts that he didn't notices Travis sitting next to him, "Hey. What ya thinking, Burt?"
"Nocturnal Ass Blasters, Grabbers that detach from the host. And where the hell are the Shriekers? What's next? Graboids that talk?" Burt mutters in frustration. He sighs and decided to change the subject. "Let's talk about Florida."
"What is he talking about?" Barry asked.
"Sunshine State. Lotta ladies. Why?" Travis said.
Burt looks at him. "I'm asking what you know about me and Florida?" he asked suspiciously.
Travis shrugs, "I know that you went to a Grateful Dead concert once when you were there."
"How could you possibly know that? That was 40 years ago."
"Pretty sure I know who you went with."
"What do you know about Jasmine?" Burt asked.
Travis shrugs, "Flower child meets heroin chic. Model. Hated disco. Loved Hendrix. You were selling your dad's old guns. She was in the parking lot."
Burt mutters, "Burning her bra."
"Far left meets far right. They spend the night. Love's a bitch, huh, Burt?" Travis said.
"Who is she to you?" Burt asked again.
Travis sighs and answered. "I call her "Mom" most of the time." Burt's eyes widen in shock when Travis releases the big news bomb. "Boom! Well, that's gotta stir up some shit, right? Huh?"
Burt points at him and stutters, "You mean, you and me are..."
Travis nodded and gestured himself. "That's right. Bloodlines. Feel the theme happenin', here?"
Burt shook his head in shock, "No."
Travis nodded, "Yes."
"No. Impossible."
"You're tellin' me."
"I don't believe it. There's no way you're my offspring." He points at Travis.
"What? Well, that's a dick thing to say? What, do you think you're better than me?" Travis said angrily.
"I just don't... I mean... Crud. Look at you!"
"Yeah, look at me." Travis said. "How could I be the son of Burt Gummer? A man of such towering importance. You know what? Forget it. We don't have to do this whole Dr. Phil thing, okay? Let's just party with the others, and we'll go back to never speaking to each other again. Cool?"
"What the hell are they talking about?" Owen asked.
"Travis is Burt's son." D said.
There was a dead silence from the audience, okay, this gone awkward.
Before Burt could say anything, Jay appeared behind him, causing Travis to scream like a little girl. Burt turns and yells in shock to see Jay staring at them blankly.
Again, some of the audience laughed at the screen.
"You know, Burt. You should accept on what he said." Jay said blankly.
Burt stares at him, "You heard us?"
Jay nodded, "Si. And word of advice, you aren't a good husband, father, or survivalist. You act like you are, but you don't. You think there's gonna be a World War III? There won't be a war because you are acting like there is. You wasted your whole life because of that and dealing with Graboids, Shriekers and Fireflies…you didn't even bother contacting you own wife and check on her to know if she was going to have a child." Burt didn't say anything, and Jay rolled his eyes, "Tsk. You're like those fathers who wouldn't care for their own offspring. You just care about yourself and wasting your life."
"And how would you know about fathers, Archer?" Burt asked. "You basically have one!"
Jay growled at the screen, his father was the reason why he became a monster, he was cheated out from his childhood and was forced to undergo experiments that he didn't deserve!
Jay gave him a blank look before activating his hybrid form and roars at him. Travis and Burt backed away in fear as Jay growls, baring his sharp fangs.
"This what mi Padre did to me! He never took care of me or loved me. He only experimented me as a lab rat!" He gives Burt a death glare, "Now if I were you, you should learn to be a better father." He grows before turning into his human form and walking away, leaving a terrifying Burt and Travis.
Everyone stared at the screen, some of the people there felt sorry for Jay, feeling that he shouldn't suffer like that.
"I think I pissed myself." Travis whispers out and Burt gives him the look.
Few snickers came from the audience while Travis shrinks from his seat.
Back to the others, everyone was still partying while Vida checks her ammo on her pistol as she watched everyone party. Baruti and Nandi were dancing together while Val and Amahle were dancing too. Sofia came to her side and smiles at her friend. "Come on, Vida, join in the fun."
Vida looks at them and said, "I'm not much of a party person, Sof."
Sofia grabs Vida's hand and said, "Vida, you're good a singing since we were kids so just sing a little song, for us?
Vida thought about it and said, "Alright. Fine, but you and the others have to help me out."
"This is going to be interesting." Devlin said smirking at Vida.
"What do you need?" they turn to see Jay and the other members of the D-Squad looking at them. Vida smirks and whispers to them her song. Once they did, they went over to some instruments that are not being use as Vida steps in the center as Jay sang.
"Oooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh!"
Vida:
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off
Get back in the saddle
You're on the front line everyone's watching
You know it's serious we're getting closer this isn't over
The pressure is on you feel it
But you got it all believe it!
Everyone minus Devlin, Sofia, and Vida, were surprise to hear Vida singing. She has a good voice. The Yautjas are amazed to hear Vida singing, she is both gifted in fight and voice, now that's interesting.
Vida dances with Amahle and sang:
When you fall get up, oh, oh,
If you fall get up, eh, eh,
Tsamina mina zangalewa 'cause this is Africa
Tsamina mina, eh, eh waka, waka, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa this time for Africa
Vida started dancing on her own when Amahle went to Val and dance with her while the others follow her song and dance.
Listen to your God this is our motto
Your time to shine don't wait in line
Y vamos por todo
People are raising their expectations
Go on and feed them this is your moment no hesitation
Today's your day I feel it you paved the way believe it
If you get down get up, oh, oh
When you get down get up, eh, eh

Tsamina mina, eh, eh, waka, waka, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa Anawa a a Tsamina mina, eh, eh, waka, waka, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa this time for Africa!
Val and Amahle sang together:

Asi tsu zala mejole biggi biggi mubbo from East to West
Bathi waka waka ma eh eh waka waka ma eh eh
Tendency suna tsibuye 'cause this is Africa...
Thaba, Jay and Baruti sang:
Tsamina mina, Anawa a, a
Tsamina mina. Tsamina mina

Vida:
Tsamina mina, eh, eh waka, waka, eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa anawa a a

We're all Africa, We're all Africa!
Everyone cheers happily and continues partying until the transports show up to picked them all up soon.
"Wow, Vida, you sing awesome!" Miko praised at Vida.
"I can't believe I had to sing there." Vida mumbles in annoyance.
Sofia chuckles at her best friend and nudges her. "Come on, you've got to admit, you like singing." She said.
Vida smirks at her and shrugs. "Maybe."
"Alright, up to next scene." D said as they all turn to the screen.
The next chapter will be coming up soon, and there will be a riot in there soon. *Puts on a helmet* a big riot.
