It was dawn, and already the group members had woken up and were outside. All except for Diane, who winds up getting stuck...for obvious reasons. Ashe took it upon herself to get Diane out as she pulls Diane by one of her arms...and her hair.

Diane:"Ow! Watch it! I had my hair done all special!"

Ashe:"Not my fault you decided to loosen it while you were sleeping!"

Diane:"I wanted to get comfortable!"

They continued to pull, to no avail of getting Diane out.

Diane:"Come on! Pretend I'm a desert! That's your motivation!"

Ashe:"Oh, ha ha! Very funny."

The others watched as they struggled, and the could even see the hut move inch by inch as they pulled. Just as Diane was about to pop free. the whole thing fell down on top of her. Ashe had fell on her butt as this happened, and was shocked to see Diane rise up from the pile, covered in dirt and twigs. Ashe quickly tries to help Diane get clean-ish as she started to wipe away dirt and twigs from her backside.

Diane:"Hey. Watch where you're touching."

Ashe:"Shut it."

After Ashe finishes, Diane picks herself up, her hair reaching half-way down her back as dusts herself off.

Diane:"(sighs) I can't wait to head home and be in a comfy bed again."

Ashe:"Don't you have your butt for that?"

That joke ticked Diane off.

Diane:"Alright, one more crack about me butt and I swear-!"

Lori:"Hey! Knock it off, you two! Let's not have any fighting between you two."

Diane:"No promises."

As Lori settles things with those two, the others watched as the sun was barely rising.

Lincoln:""Wow. It's barely morning and already, it looks nice out here."

Luna:"That's just nature, bro."

Lori:"Well, it looks like we have a long day ahead of us."

Leni:"Why? Is today gonna be a longer day than yesterday?"

They all facepalmed when Leni said that.

Ashe:"Well, let's at least hope that today's gonna be smooth sailing from here on out."

But, just as she said that, winds started to pick up and lights were shined from above as they look to see a helicopter overhead. And from what anyone can guess, it was Reginald's.

Zella:"Oh, you have got to be kidding me."

Leni:"Oh my gosh! Hi!"

They were unamused by Leni's obliviousness to the tension of the situation.

Diane:"This can't get any worse."

And then, it got worse. The ground started to rumble beneath their feet as they saw a tank coming their way, also belonging to Reginald.

All:"(._.)"

Luna:"Wow, this guy's really going all out, isn't he?"

Climbing out of the tank was Reginald and Caroline, with the former of the two having bandages over his left cheek and right side of his forehead. The two walked up to the group as he was looking straight towards Ashe.

Reginald:"Did you really think you could get rid of me that easily."

Ashe:"Well, to be fair...I'm pretty sure I cracked your skull a little."

Reginald:"Yeah, well you didn't. And this time, I've come prepared."

And it was then that about 20 soldiers started coming up out of nowhere, wearing tiger stripe camo, black ammo vests, helmets and masks and holding M4 Carbines, pointed straight at the group. One of the soldiers stood out more than the others, being twice their size and having more muscle and body armor, also holding an anchor as a weapon. He was in front of his piers, looking down at Ashe.

Heavy Soldier:"So...this little twerp thought she could just walk away?"

Reginald:"Stand down."

The Heavy Soldier walked back, laughing evilly while still having his eye on Ashe, who glared back at him. Reginald then noticed Lincoln amongst the group.

Reginald:"(points at him) You're suppose to be dead. I slammed you against a rock."

Lincoln:"Try living with my sisters for a while. Then we can talk about survival."

His sisters look at him with an unamused look.

Leni:"Is that even a good example?"

Lincoln:"Think back to Seasons 1 through 2. You tell me."

Leni looked confused while Lincoln gave a wink to audience. Meanwhile, Caroline was getting a good look at the others, not seeing them as criminals, but as ordinary civilians.

Caroline:"Why side yourself with a Most Wanted Criminal."

Lincoln:"She's family."

Reginald:"Tough luck, kid. We all have family."

Lincoln:"Yeah, but I'm gonna live to see mine reunited."

Reginald:"Hmph...Are you aware of the many crimes your relative is wanted for? Theft of money, drugs, vehicles. Counterfeiting money. Even murder."

Ashe:"That last one's bullshit, and you know it! And besides, all the other things I've done were for a good cause."

Reginald:"Then I suppose you joining the mafia was for a good cause too then."

While the rest of the group processed all the crimes Ashe was wanted for, she was looking back and forth at the Heavy Soldier's anchor, and the helicopter overhead, and then she got an idea.

Reginald:"In any case, it's the end of the road for you, Ashelin. Surrender."

Ashe:"I'll take my chances. Zella!"

And suddenly, Zella pulled out her handgun and shot at the Heavy Soldier, making his helmet come off as Ashelin ran towards him in slow motion. She karate kicked the guy in the face before taking the anchor from his hands. Then, she starts swinging the anchor around like a lasso before throwing it over towards the helicopter. The anchor hits the cockpit of the chopper, killing the pilot in the process.

Lincoln:"Whoa! Ashe, you are strong!"

Ashe:"Heh. Looks like I still got it."

before the chopper spins out of control and lands on top of the tank, causing it to fire a shot before it too explodes. The shot barely misses the group as the shockwave of the explosion causes everyone to fall down. Reginald and Caroline look at the smoking remains of their vehicles.

Reginald:"Great. There goes that deposit."

The group took this chance to run.

Reginald:"After them!"

Ashe:"Go! I'll hold them off!"

Lincoln:"We're not leaving you-"

Ashe:"Just go!"

Lincoln felt bad about leaving Ashe behind, but Lori scoops him up with her arm and pulls him away before he could react. 15 surrounded her while 5 went after her friends, and now was the best time for her to bring out her Tanto once again. As 5 soldiers pointed their guns at her head, Ashe smirked as she then gun through the legs of two of them from her left and right before barrel-rolling in mid-air, brining another down. She then guns through the hand of a forth soldier before cutting another's gun in half, then stabbing another that had gotten back up before swinging around him, pulling him to the ground and breaking his arm. She was about to stab him again, but then the fifth soldier came and shot the Tanto out of her hand, making it land at the trunk of a tree.

Two more soldiers show up while the fifth soldier closes in on her. Suddenly, she flashkicks the guy before moving on to the next two, grabbing one of them by the hand of his gun and shooting the next. Then she throws him away using his own gun. There were eight left to go as she front flips to get her sword from the tree it was embedded in and pulls it out. With the next three soldiers coming in, she roundhouse kicks the first guy and then moves on to the last two. Cutting their guns in half, she karate kicks them to the ground, knocking them both unconscious. She looked around for the last five, and saw that they were running in the direction as the five soldiers going after her friends. She had to get to them quick.

The rest of the group were making their way to the city, running as fast as they could while also checking around them to make sure that the coast is clear.

Diane:"Can we slow down now?"

Luan:"I think we lost them."

They did slow down, but continued on the path.

Luna:"I'm glad to get out of that mess."

Diane:"Let's not speak too soon. We need to keep our guard up."

And that's when the 5 remaining soldiers moved up in front of them. They slowly backed up as the soldiers pointed their guns at them, and Diane, Zella and Francine thought now would be the best time to stepped in.

Zella:"Time we took matters into our own hands."

Diane:"FAMILY Matters…"

Lori:"You guys are gonna fight?"

Francine:"That's right."

Daine took on two guards, using some boxing moves from her youth as she throwed some jabs and hooks at both soldiers, knocking them down for the count. Zella fought like a soldier, herself, using CQC to immobilize a soldier she got her hands on while fire her gun at the other. Francine used karate against the last remaining soldier, who introduced to her flashkick, straight punches to the face and then a high kick to knock him down. The Loud Siblings were amazed by how the girls were able to fight.

Luna:"Wow. That was pretty rocking!"

Zella:"Years of practice...and with living with Ashe."

Francine:"I'd say we're pretty awesome at this."

Diane:"(Dusts herself off) All in a day's work."

Meanwhile, Ashe was dealing with the last five soldiers, through her sword at the helmet of one of them, doing a split kick on two more, barrel-rolling in the air, kicking a forth soldier in the back of the head, slamming him to the ground. And then, she simply flips the last one over her shoulder, taking them all down.

Ashe:"(catches her breath and cracks her neck) That takes care of those guys. Better go check on the others."

She soon moves to find her friends and family. It wasn't long before she catches up to them, seeing that they weren't too far from Great Lake City now. The moment, they reunited, Lincoln ran up to her with a hug.

Lincoln:"I'm so glad to see you're okay. I was so worried about you."

Ashe:"You shouldn't have to worry about me, Lincoln. I can take care of my self."

Lincoln smiles at that, but still, Ashe caught hints of concern coming from, deciding to change the subject.

Ashe:"We should keep going. Great Lake City won't be long now."

They all agreed and kept moving forward...


Meanwhile, Reginald was busy abusing his soldiers in a fit of rage for failing to capture Ashe...again. He had the solider by the neck and was shaking him violently.

Reginald:"Thirteen Thousand Dollars worth of High Ranking Mercenaries, and none of you could even take on an fat-girl?!"

Mercenary:"The girl's not really fat. She just has a big belly."

This earns the mercenary a punch in the face, knocking him out cold.

Reginald:""What difference does it make? You imbeciles let her get away."

Caroline:"Now, now, sweetie...We have her right where want her. She's heading for Great Lake City. Home Base is set up over there. We'll make sure she can't escape this time."

Reginald:"...If we don't get her this time, I'm gonna lose it."

As he walks off, Caroline shows a hit of nervousness by biting her lip. She even takes out a knife and looks ready to cut at her own wrist, but holds back. This whole "being evil" thing was starting to not work out for her.


Back to the others, they were exhausted, having ran and fought their way through the forest for about three days already. They were slump, sweaty and slowly walking up to the point, having gone through what remained of their food and were really dehydrated. Luan, at the back of the line, didn't watch her footing as she accidentally tripped and ends up pushing Luna, who pushes Francine, then Leni, Zella, Lori, Diane, Lincoln and then Ashe. They all fell like dominos as they hit the ground.

Diane:"Ow! What the heck?!"

Lori:"Luna?!"

Luna:"Don't look at me! Luan's the one who pushed me!"

Luan:"Heh, heh...whoops."

Ashe:"Guys, let's not turn on each other right now. Look."

Getting up, they look to see Great Lake City in the distance, and a traffic sign that said "Great Lake City: Just Ahead."

Leni:"We made it! Hurray!"

But then, they all collapsed from exhaustion. Later, the group had themselves checked into a hospital, as they were all soon in beds, recovering from what they've been through just to get here.

Diane:"Ah. Now this is more like it."

Zella:"I'm gonna sleep for a week."

Francine:"I'm sure we can all use a ton of rest after this."

Lori:"Yeah...especially those two."

She looked to Ashe and Lincoln, who were in beds next to one another, having new bandages around his head and at her shoulder as they were already half asleep.

Lori:"And at least we won't have to worry about that Reginald for a long while.

Diane:"Don't jinx us, Lori."

Lori:"Fine."

As they were all deciding to hit the hay, Lincoln and Ashe take one last look at each other.

Lincoln:"How are you feeling, Ashe?"

Ashe:"Like heck. But i've been through worst."

Lincoln:"Me too. It's been crazy, the last couple of days."

Ashe:"Yeah. But at least we get the chance to relax."

Lincoln:"Yeah..."

And then Lincoln was out like a light as Ashe smiled at him sleeping. She then looks up the ceiling and thinks to herself...

Ashe:"Wonder how my sister's doing..."

Then she two fell asleep, like the rest of her friends...


Speaking of whom, Ashe's sister, Beatrice was in a hospital herself. Her baby was coming soon and she just couldn't wait. But aside from that, she couldn't help but think of her sister, praying to God that she was already and that everything in the past can now be put aside. She was knocked out of here train of thought, she felt another kick, and realized it was her baby. Smiling, she rubbed her belly and laid back, knowing that motherhood was near.

Beatrice:"Any day now, baby."
