Frost woke suddenly, lying in his tiger form on a strangely comfortable rock. It was a while before he realized it wasn't a rock.

He opened his eyes and saw…

Everyone…

Everyone who died, right before him, either passed out on the floor or sitting quietly. The only one missing was Shaden.

Did that mean…

"You're not dead, if that's what you're thinking," answered a voice above his head, "trust me, I would know if I were dead."

He looked up and saw that he was sitting in Hank's lap, Hank watching down with that masked face of his, red goggles concealing his eyes.

Frost looked around further, seeing Red with a damaged Dahak, Arnold trying to smack a hole in the wall (and, surprisingly, failing), Dan drying out after that tumble, Alex giving off a vague amount of smoke, even May was sitting up and conversing with Zia.

But what drew his attention the most was who was lying on the ground beside him, one ear pricked up towards him, one eye open.

A/N

Ta-da.

How they all survived will be written down in the next chapter.

Screw it, I'll do the first half now.

Alex survived because he is fireproof, remember? And he fell into lava.

Arnold was saved from that crushing ceiling by a collapsing floor, into a pit with a doorway.

Dan fell into water at the bottom of the ravine.

Red and Dahak were rescued by, I KID YOU NOT, Atlas (Blue) and P-Body (Orange) from Portal 2! I thought that track was familiar!

Trippy was presented with a secret exit because, REASONS.

The triplets were only knocked out by the shock.

And Zia was trapped in a soundproof room with a VERY well painted floor of spikes.

That is exactly half, so…

ENDER OUT!
