After a while of Jester, Akemi, their teammates and Miyuki went down the left pathway in search of another way, they somehow managed to find a shortcut, went through it and found themselves standing inside a different area not far from the fallen trees that blocked their path.

"That was quite the meandering detour, but looks like we're finally back on our original path." sighed Queen with a relief look on her face.

"I've been wondering… Could we do something about those trees from this side of them? Simplifying our escape route just in case something went awry could make a big difference for us down the line." said Crow.

"Hm, you've a point, Crow." said Spade as he nodded in agreement with Crow.

"Oh, yeah, a huge difference-but how would we even do somethin' like that?" said Skull.

"Well, if my theory is correct… Hey, Jester-what if we were to go there and inspect the area from this side? Of course, I leave the decision to you…" said Crow as he glance at Jester.

"Let's go check it out then, Crow." said Jester as she nodded at Crow before they and the others turned and make their way toward where the fallen trees are and stopped in front of them.

"Ah, just as I thought… We can reach the tree trunks from this side." said Crow with a small nod of his head. "It may be best to chop these into smaller pieces and get them out of our way." added Crow as he glance at the fallen trees.

"We would need some kind of axe for that. Thankfully, we don't absolutely need to open this path up-" said Naoto.

"Oh-! If you need an axe, why not just leave it to me?" said Noir.

"Yeah, you're the only one in my team that used an axe weapon, Noir. Go for it." said Jester as she smiled and nodded at Noir.

"Yeah, leave it to me, Jester! It's just a scaled-up version of chopping firewoods… Here I go!" said Noir as she take out and raised her axe and began chopping the fallen trees into smaller pieces swiftly.

"Oh my goodness! She's quite fast in chopping the trees into smaller pieces with her axe!" said Akemi as she watched Noir chopped the trees down with an awed look on her face.

"Yeah, I agreed, Akemi." said Miyuki in agreement with Akemi.

"Wh-Whoa… Holy cow, Noir! How… How are you twirling while doing that?" said Mona with a shock look on his face at how Noir twirled while chopping the trees down with her axe.

"Wooooow! She's totally splendiferous!" said Teddie in an impressed tone of voice at Noir.

"…And there we go! How was that?" said Noir as she glance at the others after she's done cutting the trees to smaller pieces and put her axe away.

"You did good, Noir." said Jester as she smiled and nodded at Noir.

"Thank you for your hard work. That'll make exploring this area much easier." said Naoto thankfully to Noir.

"No thanks necessary-all I did was chop away. After all, everyone else helped out with hauling away the small pieces…" said Noir.

"Aw, it was nothin'!" said Kanji.

"Yeah! We just couldn't let you bear that burden yourself. Leave the heavy lifting to us strong men!" said Teddie happily to Noir.

"All YOU did was watch! Sheesh…" sighed Yosuke as he shake his head at Teddie.

"Thank you for your help, everyone. Well then, let's go!" said Noir as she smiled at them before they resumed their exploration of the jungle, went down some more pathways, opened and went through metal gates, encounter, fought and defeat shadows, avoid the Pterodactyl and T-Rex FOES until Akemi suddenly raised her left arm in front of Jester and the others to make them stop walking and they stopped near a huge container with a huge sticker of meats and 2 Freeze Meat words below it.

"Hm? What is it, Akemi?" asked Miyuki in concern to Akemi.

"Hey, is it me, or is Teddie missing?" said Akemi as she glance at Jester and the others.

"Now that you mention him, he's not with us now." said Yukiko as she, Jester and the others look around for him and didn't see him with them.

"Where did that bear go off too now?" said Yosuke.

"Did he get lost?" said Miyuki.

"Haha, are you trying to pull our legs or something? There's no way-Wait, you guys and girls are right! Where is he!?" said Chie with a surprise look on her face.

"You asked us, we asked who, Chie?" said Spade as he shrugged his shoulders.

"I noticed that it had grown rather quiet earlier… Teddie being missing would explain it." said Noir.

"Sheesh, that idiot! Where'd he-" groaned Yosuke as he scratch his head a little before he suddenly saw Teddie standing near the container. "There he is, you guys! What're you doing over there!? You had us all worried!" added Yosuke concernly to Teddie.

"Hrm? Why are you yelling, Yosuke? Is something wrong?" asked Teddie in confusion to Yosuke.

"Of course something's wrong, Teddie. Why didn't you tell us where you go earlier?" said Akemi sternly to Teddie (which make him winced in guilt a little).

"S-Sorry, sensei…" said Teddie apologetically to Akemi.

"It's fine. Just remember to tell us next time, alright?" said Akemi.

"I know, sensei." said Teddie as he quickly nodded at Akemi.

"… So, mind telling us why you're rubbing up against that container like that earlier?" asked Yosuke.

"This jungle is so hot… I felt like I was about to start melting away! Just then, I saw and found this refreshingly chilling and comfortable box. Ahhh, this is truly heaven…" replied Teddie happily to Yosuke.

"Is that some sort of freezer storage unit that Teddie is… sprawled upon?" said Crow as he and the others glance at the huge container.

"Yeah, it is, Crow." said Jester as she nodded at Crow.

"I never would've imagined that we'd find something like this out here." said Akemi.

"I don't get it. Why would the scientists and geneticists leave this here?" said Akemi with a confused look on her face.

"Maybe they left it for the carnivores FOE?" said Miyuki.

"Maybe, Miyuki." said Jester as she glance at Miyuki.

"The cool air seeping out of this container must feel nice. I can only imagined how tough it is wearing a costume in this heat…" said Crow.

"That long nose of yours looks pretty heated to me, Crow. Wanna hop up here next to me?" suggested Teddie as his face turned red in embarrassment.

"Yeah, why don't you join him, Crow?" said Jester wickedly at Crow.

"U-Um… No, thank you. My outfit has better ventilation than it appears. I'll pass this time." said Crow as he shake his head at both Jester and Teddie.

"Humph. Figures you refused, Crow." thought Jester sarcastically in her mind at Crow.

"If you're so hot, how about I incinerate you, Teddie? You know how the old saying goes… Clear your mind of all mundane thoughts and you'll find even fire cool." said Yukiko threateningly to Teddie.

"Nooooo! Please don't make any roast bear out of me, Yuki-chan!" said Teddie in fear at Yukiko.

"Oh, would you stop!? We need to keep moving here!" said Chie as she scowled at Teddie.

"Yeah, we know, Chie. Come on, everyone." said Jester as she nodded at Chie before she and the others turned and walked away from the huge freezer storage unit for meats and resumed their exploration of the jungle.
