It has now been another few years since Nitrus Brio was accepted into the growing crew of Neo Cortex. Now the group has grown much more, and are now seen as young adults - well, maybe not in Snappy's case, but you get the idea. Anyhow, the gang were at a takeaway stand taking a lunch order, where another problem suddenly came along.
"We'll have 3 duck stir-fries and an XL packet of prawn crackers, please", Neo spoke with a more mature voice.
"That would be $10.96", belched the chef.
The grub was paid for, leaving Neo to hold onto two of the boxed stir-fries and Boron to hold onto the other in his mouth and the prawn crackers on his back.
"Okay guys - take 5!"
And it wasn't long until they got stuck into the food. Within the pack, Boron was seen as the black sheep, getting cracker crumbs down his chest while eating them at a furious pace.
"You know I've heard rumours that Tiko has been raiding LA as a Grand Theft Auto assassin under the nickname of the 'Cerulean Wizard'", blinked Brio as he looked onto his backpack left on his bench.
"Really?!?" Snappy exclaimed, with Boron roaring nearby. "You must be joking man!"
"It's true!" Brio nodded. "Get a load of this", he smirked while putting his stir fry on the floor and pulling out a newspaper from his backpack.
"Let me see", the alligator growled while pulling the newspaper from Brio's hands. "NO KIDDING! Madonna in streak shocker!"
"We're serious!" Neo shouted while punching Snappy on the side. "Check out the main story!"
"Oh..." He brought his attention towards the main story. And it was there that he realized, that Brio told the truth. "WHATOWEDO? WHATOWEDO?"
"Calm down - we'll think of a solution", he smiled.
All of a sudden, a missile strikes Neo, causing him to scream with pain. Boron howls with agony as it happened.
"CORTIE!" Snappy exclaimed towards him.
"Hang on!" Brio jumped.
All three of them surrounded Neo, whom in turn managed to sit up, rubbing his forehead with pain. And it wasn't long until he got on his feet again.
"Ouch... that HAS to hurt", he groaned with pain before looking on at the others, all showing shocked faces in return. "Huh? Why are you guys staring at me like that?"
Snappy's hands started shaking. "You've... changed!"
"I don't feel any change", Neo replied back with confusion.
"On the outside!!!" Brio jumped. "Your hair is now in some strange curved wedge!"
"Kinda like half of Saturn", blinked Snappy.
"And you have a big bold N on your head!" Brio managed to finish.
Neo's eyes widened, while he pulled out a pocket mirror from Brio's backpack. "Let me see...!"
"Well?"
He brought the mirror towards the face, and saw his changed head appearance, his eyes widening at the glance of it. "NO LIE!"
"Well, at least you'll be easily spotted!" Snappy smirked.
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" Neo growled back while slapping Snappy across the face.
"Hey - I think I found a part of the missile in which caused the change!" Brio exclaimed towards the others.
Snappy instantly brought himself back on both feet. "Let's see!"
The gang rushed up to Brio holding part of the "missile". That in turn showed itself to be a wing part, shining with a strong metallic red coat.
"This ain't a missile - It's a firework!"
Snappy's eyes widened. "It's a bit late for July 4th, innit?"
Neo slapped Snappy on the face again. "Remind me to take you to mood therapy next week." He then turned back to Brio. "Oh well, back to business."
"This is part of the Ooze Splatter 300, a firework that splats ink when either the ignition is killed or it runs into something." He turned the wing around, seeing into a set of small print on the back. "The ink is..." He gulped. "Non- removable!"
"OK, where did it come from?" Snappy asked.
"That direction", he said when pointing up towards a building displaying a sign on the roof, showing that it was 'Mann's Chinese Theater'.
"That place hasn't played anything in years!"
"This could be his hideout!" Brio exclaimed back.
"OK, Tiko - IT'S PAYBACK TIME!" Neo started chuckling to himself.
"Yeah - let's go!"
The gang headed for the theatre with angry looks on their faces and went through the rusty doors, leaning towards their next set of payback, whatever it could be. The corridors seemed to be so dark, even Brio's flashlight wasn't enough to light up much of the way!
"I'm scared", Snappy said with his limbs shaking.
"Snappy - stop being a baby!" Brio exclaimed towards him.
"Or else I'll buy some diapers next time we come past a pharmacy!" Neo said while finishing off his sentence.
"Fair enough", Snappy said while ceasing shaking and bringing his head down.
"That's that sorted", Neo smiled before looking around. "BORON! Where are you?"
While he shouted, Boron was rushing far ahead with fury... until he ran straight into a small mine on the ground. Upon contact, it exploded near his paws, causing him to howl with agony and rush back to the others.
"That's what happens every time you go far ahead, young wolfie", shrugged Snappy.
But Boron didn't listen. He instantly rushed towards Neo and cuddled up with him, suffering pain.
"I know you're hurt", sighed Neo as he stroked Boron's head, "but I don't have a first- aid kit on me."
Boron howled again, expressing big puppy-like eyes upon his head. He was then left to hug him harder at that stage.
"Stay calm - everything will be OK."
"Poor thing", frowned Brio as he looked on ahead. "But his actions were useful..."
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah - how can they be useful when he just crashed into a bomb?" Snappy asked back with a straight face.
"The bomb was blocking the doorway to the main hall", smiled Brio. "With Boron's help, we can get through!"
"BRILLIANT!!!!! LET'S GO!"
"Snappy - wait!" Neo shouted over to him.
But before he could say anymore, he dashed through the doors as fast as he can, looking straight in front of him upon entrance.
"OK, whoever's looking for trouble best come out!"
And just like that, a puff of green smoke showed upon the main stage, and it was there that Lio came through it.
"You're askin' for trouble, kid?"
Snappy nodded in front of him, bringing his hands out in front of him at the sight of him. And it was there that he jumped off the stage and rushed towards him.
"Well, kiss your bride!"
Lio punched Snappy back through the double doors, and upon landing he was seen in front of his companions in a bride outfit.
"Is it safe to go in?" Neo asked him.
"No, but I'm married."
In the background, Brio laughed quietly, keeping his expressions to himself. That left Neo to growl back towards him.
"It's not funny. We HAVE to check out what's going on. Let's roll!"
And it was right there that they all headed for the doors, looking onto the scenery in front of him. By that time, Snappy was seen struggling to tear the dress off him.
"OK guys - keep the plan in mind!" Neo commanded to the others.
"YES SIR!" they exclaimed in unison.
"Great!" Neo smiled before walking closer to the doors. "This is it... Good luck!"
The gang went in to challenge Lio, who was seen looking near a 20ft mech on the edge of the stage, charging with electrical power.
"Maybe Tiko was right", he sighed. "Someone may be strong enough to take us on...I guess our days are numbered as of now - that I feel afraid of."
Suddenly, our heroes came straight down the seating isles, before rushing straight towards the main stage.
"THAT'S MY HUSBAND OVER THERE!" Snappy exclaimed while pointing at Lio with one hand and tearing off the remains of the bride dress with the other.
"Good job!" Brio smiled.
Neo nodded before looking back at Snappy, whom was still seen struggling. "Now can you please take that bride gown off quickly!"
And it was there that Snappy resorted by using his claws to chop off the remains, leaving white and pink cloths all over the floor.
"I guess I WAS right - my time could be up here", Lio whispered to himself before turning straight towards the others. "Oh look - it's the croc, the wolverine and those 2 kids I don't know..."
"Who are you calling kids?" Brio growled towards him.
"Yeah, and you SHOULD know me", Neo shouted before jumping up. "I'm your bro!"
"I doubt you're my stupid sibling because you look nothing like him!" Lio growled back.
"That's because you haven't seen him for a while!" Brio responded.
"Good point", nodded Snappy as he fought past the rags across the floor.
"Oh well, back to business", sighed Neo. "You destroyed my home, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but it's nearly finished repairs", Lio smiled.
"You neglected me in front of the rest of the family!"
"That's because you don't do anything right!"
"And more importantly, you tried to clear the lives of thousands of innocent people back in Florida!"
"So? What's your point?"
"You're nothing but a lousy, two-faced, idiotic dork without feelings! Now you're going to pay for what you did to me!"
Neo attacked with a charge straight at his brother, but Lio jumped over it and commanded his machine into firing his target...
"LOOK OUT!" Brio shouted towards his partner.
But it was too late - Neo was struck down immediately and Lio turned his machine round to face the others...
"This doesn't look too good", Snappy frowned.
"Stand back", said Brio with determination. "I'm going in."
"Brio dude - wait!"
"Why should I wait when I have a handy trick up my sleeve?"
And in an instant, Brio mutated into the beast and used the claws on his hands to tear the machine from head to toe.
"MY MACHINE!" Lio exclaimed. "Oh well..."
It was there that Lio rooted inside his baseball cap and pulled out a ball of ooze. Once there he hurled it towards Brio, making him invulnerable.
"Oh man", Snappy growled towards him. "You're gonna pay for this!"
"I very much doubt it!"
Lio chucks another ball of ooze, this time zapping Brio's energy and changing him back to his normal self...
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" he exclaimed with pain.
Snappy and Boron looked at each other, showing worried expressions upon their own faces. Then, they both took a step closer to one another.
"We know what he did to us, right?" Snappy asked him.
"YEAH!" Boron shouted back.
"It's time to take care of business!"
Snappy and Boron looked on at Lio with fury and vice-verca. Having seen the damage he caused, it looked like...
"You very much are a pain in the you-know-what, aren't you?" Snappy asked Lio.
"Not that much."
In the background, Boron brought himself onto all fours, showing his claws and growling teeth while maintaining an angry expression.
"What do you mean by 'not that much'?" Snappy said while rolling his eyes. "Surely you must have caused damage in your life..."
"He has, idiot!" whispered Neo from his position. "Remember what I said..."
"HA!" Lio shouted back. "THAT IS NOT TRUE!"
"We saw what you and your siblings did to us!" Snappy started to growl. "Now... SUCK ON THIS!!!!!!!" He turned straight towards the wolverine. "Boron, you know what to do."
Boron growled, before he gave out a long leap towards Neo, roaring as loud as he could as he managed to do so.
"Ooh... Sassy mouth!" Lio laughed sadistically.
"We'll show you sassy mouth!" Snappy shouted back. "Let's go, Boron!"
And it was right there that Boron plunged himself towards Lio, leaving them both to fight over the ooze.
"Oi! Get off!" Lio exclaimed.
They both tugged and pulled for what seemed like forever, while Snappy came to revive the others...
"Brio - This may be hard to take out, but here goes nothin'!"
Snappy drew his claws out and used them all to try to cut him out of the ooze. Eventually, he was released from the grasp, leaving him to stand on both feet.
"Thanks! I can do with that, but I don't have the strength to change back into the beast", he frowned weakly.
"Stay down, dude. You've seen enough."
Meanwhile, Boron was still at it with Lio. Now the ooze stretched up to half the length of the room!
"You're getting tired, wolfie", Lio growled. "You can never take me on!"
Boron still tried to pull the ooze off him, sweating along the way. Meanwhile, Snappy had unfinished business...
"Here Cortie - let me help you out!"
As soon as Snappy took a hold of Neo's hand, trying to pull him up… he instantly pushed the alligator away from him!
"Back off! He's mine!"
"Calm down - we're only trying to help!"
"Look - He's been more of a brat more than anyone else I know! He's the one who insulted me before you found me! He's also the one who has that much strength to stop a London double decker! He must be the one who gets the last course..."
"Careful now", the alligator panicked. "What did we say about-"
But before he could speak any further, Neo did an instant submission attack on Lio from behind...
"Aaaaaargh! Get off, you pest!"
That ended up causing him to let go off the ooze, with Boron retrieving it, rolling upon the ground as he did so.
"Nice catch!" Snappy smiled towards him. "NOW!"
Boron instantly growled towards him, before he chucked the ooze all over Lio, causing him to lose his strength over time.
"That's it! I give up!"
"Oh do you?" Neo said with a proud look, before whistling from his position.
The police force came out of nowhere - some of which held guns in their hands, others had bats, and the main officer stood up front with a pair of handcuffs.
"OK, where is he?"
At that instant, the gang pointed at Lio, whom was seen struggling to break free from his own ooze. That left the officer to step over him.
"Take him away!"

Five minutes passed, and it was there that the gang were once again chilling with Chinese cuisine.
"There goes one out of four", smiled Neo as he opened up a crate of noodles.
"Thank God", nodded Snappy. "He nearly had us that time."
"Oh well, that's life", sighed Brio.
Neo then brought his head up towards the sky. "Then again there could be the others..."
Boron screamed, with that reason, as well as getting a few noodles stuck in his head fur within his actions.
"Calm down - we can thrash them!" Brio smiled with determination.
"But they're just as strong, if not stronger!" Snappy exclaimed towards him.
"Oh man...!"
"Calm down", responded Neo. "We'll achieve that dream, even if it takes us until the millennium!"
"Yeah", cheered Snappy. "Let's keep it positive!"
The gang walked out of the Chinatown and head for their next area. But all they knew is that ever since Lio was in LA, the others could be in LA too.

Several hours later, our heroes made their way to La Brae Dinosaur Park. Once there, they were seen tracking down the remaining members of Tiko's gang with fury and speed, as along with many other areas of the city this may seem tough for them to find the lot... that was until this sudden event.
"Any luck?" Brio asked from a statue of a mammoth.
"Not as we speak", responded Neo as he popped his head out from the mouth of a model T-Rex.
"Ditto", Snappy said from a pond before spitting out water like a fountain.
Brio gave out a sigh from his position. "This could seem trickier than you think…!"
"I suppose so", sighed Neo. "Hang on... Where's Boron?"
"Look - Do you always lose that darn wolverine?"
Neo responded with a sheepish nod. "Oh well, you can't keep an eye on them all! Any ideas on his..."
"...whereabouts?" Snappy finished off. "I last saw him in the tar pits back there..."
"Oh great", Neo said with panic.
"Looks like you'll be the one bathing him tonight!" Snappy smirked from his position.
It didn't take long for Neo to rush towards Snappy's direction and duck him underwater for several seconds. "Now I thought you stopped doing that!" He then released his grip. "Anyway, where are the tar pits?"
"I don't mean to interrupt you, but I think we already found him", Brio blinked.
"Huh?" Neo and Snappy said in unison.
From straight up the path, Boron came running towards the crew covered in tar from head to toe.
"Boron!" Snappy exclaimed while getting out from the water. "How the heck...!"
Within time, Boron shook off the tar from his fur, in which got splattered onto his companions, leaving them to show faces of disgust back.
"Hey - Not all over US!" Brio shrieked back.
"Next time you go get a towel!" Snappy growled to him.
"And next time YOU go get a guillotine so that you can commit suicide!" sighed Neo while he pushed Snappy back into the water.
As soon as he finished his action, Boron started barking, leaving his cries to soon reach his ears.
"He's trying to say something!" Brio shouted.
Neo looked on at him with curious eyes. "I hope it's about my siblings...!"
And just like a ray of hope, Boron nodded. That left Neo to smile with relief before he pulled Snappy out of the water, looking clean as a whistle.
"YEEEEEEEEAH!" the alligator smiled before coming firmly onto the ground. "WE'RE GONNA THRASH THEM ONE!"
"Not necessarily", Neo sighed.
"Why?"
"Because…"
Before Neo could go any further, Boron started searching through his waistcoat pockets, pulling out a recognizable item to their eyes.
"A black whip!" Neo exclaimed.
"How interesting can THAT be?" Snappy blinked.
"Look - when I was battered up over a decade ago, my sister Hallie used this", Neo nodded before pulling out a magnifying glass from Brio's backpack, searching alongside the strap. "And to prove so, it even has her fingerprints on it!"
"Take us to the tar pit, boy!" Brio exclaimed.
In an instant, Boron dashed off around the corner, leaving black tar footprints across the ground.
"Don't let him get away this time!"
And it was there that the gang followed him, or his messy footprints if things started to get desperate for them.

"I guess this is it", said Neo as he arrived at the pit himself - a deep hole covered in monochrome colors, going deep underground.
"And look - footprints!" Brio said while pointing down.
"I can recognize them anywhere - Nike size 7", smiled Snappy.
"This must be her hiding place", Neo said with wide eyes. "We're taking her out!"
The gang went down the tar pit for an unknown surprise. They were hard to grip on at first, but they managed to keep steady, and eventually went down the vertical tunnel with ease. Their target could have been down there... but if not, they are gonners.
"I could do with an air freshener right now", said Snappy with a sickly tone. "I don't feel too good..."
"I know your feelings", nodded Neo, "but the gangsters are more important!"
"Yeah, but I... I... I feel like I'm going to throw up..."
"Oh!" Neo's eyes widened.
"Hang on", smiled Brio. "I've a solution!"
Once there, he got out a breathing mask and a pack of oxygen, slotting the former onto Snappy's head and the latter on his back.
"Does it work?" Brio asked him.
"Thanks. I feel better!"
"Be advised - the pack could cause a mass increase, causing you to lose your grip and..."
"Details, details", the alligator growled back.
But before he could say anything else, he slipped on some excess tar and plunged down thousands of feet screaming for help...
"SNAPPY!" Neo gasped to him. "We're coming!"
"Yeah, but not so fast!" panicked Brio. "I can't abseil as quick as..."
Boron instantly bit Brio on the arm, causing him to fall towards the ground, following Snappy's footsteps.
"I know I told Brio to speed up, but not like that", Neo frowned to him.
Boron howled with guilt. Then they both climbed down as fast as they could to try and catch up with them, but... It was too late - the two were knocked unconscious upon landing.
"Oh well, you can't win them all", Neo sighed.
Boron rushed up to them and licked them on the face, using a sloppy tongue hidden inside his mouth.
"Ugh!" Brio said with a disgust-filled face. "Doggy breath!"
"Cut it out! You know what happened when you were gaining revenge on your mama's…"
Boron immediately came off Snappy's chest, and once there he started crying lightly again, showing expressive puppy-like eyes.
"I know you miss your family", Neo said while hugging onto his chest, "but not everything lasts forever."
Suddenly, Boron sensed something. He then walked around and started growling and sniffing all over the place.
"Does your wolverine always change its personality?" Brio asked.
Neo responded with a shrug. "It depends on the situation."
Before they could speak again, Boron turned straight back towards them, roaring back towards them.
"Now what?" Neo asked.
In an instant, Boron placed his fur into a pair of pigtails and skipped around on his own hind legs.
"Let me guess - you've found her", Snappy smiled.
Boron growled again and brought his attention straight towards a hole in the wall, walking straight towards it with deeper footsteps.
"That must be her hiding place", Neo said with a whisper, with Boron to respond back with a roar.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Brio smiled. "Come on, let's go!"
The gang rush off through the gap in the wall and head off for their target. From there they entered a big room full of dinosaur fossils from all sorts of prehistoric eras, most of these coming from the Jurassic period.
"WOW!" Snappy exclaimed with widened eyes.
"This is amazing!" Brio gasped towards the scenery.
"That's definitely a hound's type of heaven", Neo smiled.
Snappy brought his attention towards Neo. "Even Boron's?"
"Er..."
While that happened, Boron went up to one of the fossils and tried to yank one of the bones out...
"Careful, Boron", exclaimed Brio. You don't know how delicate they are!"
But Boron didn't listen. He still tried to tug out the bone, but... it still felt hard upon its very position.
"Please be careful", Neo said with wide eyes. "You don't know what it could be like..."
Strangely enough, the fossil brought out one of its legs and kicked Boron to the far side of the wall.
"Now what?" Neo asked with shock.
Snappy rushed towards it, looking on at its structure. "IT'S ALIVE!"
Boron recovered and started growling at it. The skeleton came to tackle it, but it missed the target and got its foot stuck in the wall...
"Go Boron!" Brio cheered on. "Stop it!"
Boron jumped up onto the skeleton's back and grabbed the collarbone. From then he tried to force it to the ground...
"Boron's sweating", panicked Snappy. "I doubt that he can take this!"
"He CAN take this!" Brio shouted back.
"I very much doubt it", said Neo with shocked eyes. "This thing may fly like a pterodactyl and sting like a bee!"
"But he has the guts!" Brio jumped up.
"Good point", nodded Snappy.
After what seemed like forever, Boron took the collarbone out and the skeleton malfunctioned, collapsing like a pile of rubble.
"YOU DID IT!" Neo cheered to him. "YOU DID IT!"
"Way to go!" Brio responded back.
"WHO LET THE DINOS OUT?" Snappy sung with a loud voice.
As soon as they finished shouting, Boron started laughing to himself before dancing around the area with the collarbone in his mouth.
"There goes one block of defense", nodded Neo. "Now for the girl..."
Suddenly a blast came from the other side of the room and Hallie came out from the hole formed within the wall.
"You called?"
"Yeah - last week at the town square", Snappy joked. "I wanted you to call back, but..."
Neo punched Snappy hard upon the back. "I thought you stopped doing that!"
"Ha-ha! Hard luck!"
Neo then brought his punches up towards Snappy's neck. "Next time I'll show you hard luck..."
"SILENCE!" she exclaimed. "You brats really want to overthrow us?"
"Of course we do - We came to LA to give you a taste of your medicine!"
"So sorry, but I'm not getting it. Face my wrath... OR FACE YOUR DOOM!" she smirked viciously.
They leered into her eyes with an angry face expression. Boron was no exception - he was growling like mad...
"Calm down Boron - she isn't that harmful", nodded Neo with a straight face.
"WHAT?" Hallie growled. "YOU CALLED ME PATHETIC?"
Brio's face started to show a more sheepish expression. "We weren't saying that you're weak..."
"You're as feeble as water, you big sumo-wrestler's butt!" Snappy said while pulling his tongue out.
Neo then sighed angrily before bringing his attention towards Snappy. "Way to go, Mr. Crocodile Shoes..."
"But I meant it!"
"You did?" Hallie scowled.
Snappy nodded with shame, bringing his face down to the ground and his head band hanging lower than usual.
"Then prepare to be thrashed!" she shrieked back.
Right after that, Hallie charged towards the gang with rage and managed to strike down Boron with her arms out.
"Boron!" Neo shouted. "Hang in there", he said while rushing to him.
Boron slowly turned to him, showing a scar on the forehead and a black eye and howling with pain.
"Hang on - Let me take you to safety", he said calmly while taking a hold of the wolverine and bringing him out the way they came.
Hallie returned to her position with clinching fists, starting to turn red with every single passing second.
"If you think I'm pathetic... THINK AGAIN!"
"That's it!" Brio growled back.
And within a brief split second, Brio mutated into the beast and performed a seismic toss on Hallie...
"WOW! Nice one, Brio Dude!" Snappy applauded from the sidelines.
"Ouch!" Hallie exclaimed with pain.
"That sorted her out..."
"Just kidding!"
She then uses her whip on them and struck them down to the floor, causing Snappy to have a bleed from his mouth and Brio to mutate back...
"Look who's got the last laugh now!" she growled back.
She removed an arm pad and attempted The People's Elbow - the Rock's signature finishing move - but... from behind the wall, Boron looked on with horror before trying to stand up.
"Boron - stay down", Neo commanded.
The wolverine then shook his head, before instantly bringing himself on all fours and dashing towards the hole.
"Please wait - you don't have the strength!"
But Boron proved him wrong - he stopped Hallie doing The People's Elbow by pouncing on her!
Snappy then brought himself back up steadily. "Maybe he DOES have the strength after all!"
Boron scratched and stomped on Hallie and made her powerless, bleeding from head to toe. He then started breathing rapidly and dragged her out of the room...
"Where are you taking her?" Brio asked him.
Boron roared while he dragged her to the top of the tar pits. Once that happened he howled loudly, causing the police to arrive again, with the rest of the gang soon to follow.
"Boron, what are you doing..." Neo brought his head out from the pit, looking towards the police cars and officers around him. "Oh I see!"
"WHO LET THE BABES OUT?" Snappy sung while poking his head up.
"We've had enough of that already", sighed Brio from lower down the hole.
"Sorry."
Over time, the police secured Hallie and left with her... fairly quickly. Skid marks were left upon the ground, leaving the four in silence again.
"Wow, Boron!" Neo smiled while bringing himself upon the ground and walking towards the wolverine. "You really showed us what you've got!"
Boron smiled and nodded proudly, before he went to the edge and pulled Snappy and Brio from the hole.
"You deserve the credit!" Snappy smiled. "Like, you tell us what treat you want and we'll get it!"
Boron managed to find a wooden plank, rode it across the lake and came back with a bucket and spade.
"Oh, we see what you mean!" Brio smiled back.
"Good idea!" Snappy broadly grinned.
"Uh-huh", Neo nodded. "We could do with a break right now!"
"Let's ride!"
The gang left the dinosaur park for somewhere they can have some R and R... but where will it be? After all, it's now obvious that Tiko and Deksta will also be in the city... but what kind of tricks will they have up their sleeve?

-end of part 3-
