The kids had just about finished their beach fun and were now cleaning and drying themselves back on shore. Still in their swimwear, Lincoln, Paige and Stella were drying off their heads...

Stella:"I never thought I'd have this much fun while we were on our little vacation."

Lincoln:"Agreed. This has been a blast!"

Upon finishing drying himself up, Lincoln lowered the towel from his head to reveal his hair all frizzie, to which everyone noticed.

Ronnie Anne:"Heh. Good idea, Lincoln."

Doing the same with her towel, Ronnie Anne made her own hair all frizzie too, and everyone got a good laugh out of it.

Lincoln:"Very funny, Ronnie Anne."

And it was then that, Stella joined in, with her hair being a bit more puffy and reminding Ronnie Anne of how her cousin, Carlota, looked on the humid day.

Ronnie Anne:"Heh. You kinda look like my cousin."

Melody wasn't expecting to join in, but when she got the towel off of her head, her hair had managed to be the frizziest of all, looking like an overgrown lion's mane while everyone stared at in awe.

Raine:"I didn't know your hair could get that big."

Melody:"Have you forgotten how thick my hair is?"

Raine:"Kinda hard not to. You used to have a ponytail."

Lincoln:"(smoothing his hair) She did? Do you have a picture of that?"

NJ:"Back at the cabin, we do."

Ronnie Anne, Stella, and Melody began to smooth out their own hair, with Melody struggling a little bit, her hands getting caught in her main.

Mollie:"Is your hair really that thick?"

Melody:"Unfortunately, it is."

Then, Lincoln was about to change back into his clothes, when Beth suddenly emerged from the water and was about to sit down on the beach to dry herself off, but she had to notice Lincoln directly below her. He managed to jump out of the way, but now was catching his breath after that horrifying experience. Beth then looked behind to see Lincoln looking a bit frightened.

Beth:"Lincoln, what's wrong?"

Lincoln:"You nearly sat on me!"

Beth:"Oh...(awkwardly) My bad. Sorry."

Later, they were back in the cabin with all their clothing back on, while Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Mollie and Jordan were looking at a picture of Melody with a long, low, straight ponytail that reached the center of her back.

Mollie:"It kinda makes her look like Ronnie Anne."

The latino girl looks at her confused.

Ronnie Anne:"Mine's shorter."

Melody:"I used to keep my hair that way before we were hunted down by Andreas. Now, if you guys don't mind, I need you to pick up something for me."

Ronnie Anne:"What?"

Raine:"Melody uses plant seeds to help her out with her powers. She likes to grow them out in her hands."

Lincoln:"I guess we can go look for them. But where would they be? I don't think we're around any towns."

NJ:"Out in the forest, east of this cabin. But don't go too far, or you'll end up walking into a dry sand pit."

Lincoln:"(concerned) Okay..."

Before the could leave, Beth decided to talk to Ronnie Anne about Lincoln.

Beth:"How long have you known, Lincoln?"

Ronnie Anne:"For a while. I used to be a bit of a jerk to him before we grew to be good friends. I may have moved out of the neighborhood, but we still keep in touch."

Beth:"I see. Has he changed much since you last saw him?"

Ronnie Anne:"A little bit. He's gotten into magic a little bit."

Lincoln:"Ronnie Anne, you coming?"

Ronnie Anne:"Yeah, I'll be right there, Lincoln."

Beth:"I'll meet you guys outside."

Staying true to her word, Beth met up with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne outside the cabin as the white haired boy looked around the woods.

Lincoln:"So...how many seeds do we need to gather."

Beth:"Just a handful. About 30 seeds, no less."

Ronnie Anne:"That's not exactly a handful."

Beth:"It is for me."

Ronnie Anne:"Oh yeah...Well, we should head out right now."

And with that, they headed out into the woods. Doing as they were told by NJ, the headed directly east of the cabin before crossing a fork in the road. Specifically, two paths leading in different directions.

Lincoln:"Uh...NJ didn't mention this."

Ronnie Anne:"Where are we supposed to go, Beth?"

Beth:"Honestly, I've never even noticed this before."

Lincoln:"Okay...how about we split up from here?"

Ronnie Anne:"Sure."

Beth:"Agreed. I'll tag along with Lincoln."

Ronnie Anne:"Guess I'm heading it alone then."

Lincoln:"Sorry, Ronnie Anne."

Beth:"Would you like a ride, Lincoln. You can rest on my shoulder?"

Lincoln:"Uh...no thanks. I'm good, walking."

But, just as he was about to, Beth picks him up and puts her shoulder anyway.

Beth:"I don't take no for an answer."

Lincoln:"Eh. I'm okay with this."

Ronnie Anne:"I'll catch you guys later."

And with that, they went on their separate paths, with Ronnie Anne taking the left path and Lincoln and Beth taking the right. After a few minutes of walking, Ronnie Anne was getting pretty frustrated, since there didn't seem to be any seeds around for her to pick.

Ronnie Anne:"How hard is it to find a couple of seeds!?"

It was then that she heard someone grumbling and headed over to hide behind a tree as she saw none other than Andrew, picking up firewood reluctantly.

Andrew:"Lousy dad, making me get wood...and those kids, messing up everything."

Ronnie Anne:"Who the heck is that? (to Andrew) Hey! What are you doing out here?"

Andrew:"(looks at her) I could ask you the same. Why don't you mind your own business?"

Ronnie Anne:"Whoa. Relax, dude. You don't have to be so crabby about what I just said."

Andrew:"Listen here Potato-head, I'm here on official secret business! So stay out of all this, if you know what's good for ya."

Ronnie Anne:""Potato-head?! Who do you think you're talking to?"

Andrew:"A little girl who's head looks just like a potato!"

Ronnie Anne:"Don't you dare call me that! And what do you mean 'secret business'?"

Andrew:"It's none of YOUR business!"

And then, out of nowhere, does he grab a wooden log and starts to swing it like it was nothing. Ronnie Anne, shocked by this, stumbled backwards before she tripped and fell. Regaining her composure, she decided to run off before Andrew could hurt her. To which, he merely scoffed.

Andrew:"Nosey coward."

Back to Lincoln and Beth, they were walking downhill a path, and they managed to get a good view of a large lake in the middle of a mountain range. The sunset even helped to set the mood.

Lincoln:"So...how long have you lived with the other kids?"

Beth:"About a couple of years now. How are you holding up, hanging out with us?"

Lincoln:"It's been great. And back when we were having fun at the beach, I loved riding down your ponytail like a slide."

Beth:"Hmph. My pleasure. I'm actually glad you and those girls came around when you did."

Lincolm:"Oh, really? Why?"

Beth:"'Cuz it's been kind of boring as of late. It's been a whole month and it doesn't feel like Andreas has made any moves to find us."

Lincoln:"All the better for it, I say."

Beth:"Still, we need all the help we can get to beat him."

Lincoln:"You really think a couple of kids can help you out with that?"

Beth:"I know you guys can...(sighs) It's been real stressful as of late, getting kidnapped, being turned into a giant, all that..."

Seeing how upset she was feeling, Lincoln tried his best to comfort her by rubbing her right cheek.

Lincoln:"I will help you deal with Andreas."

Beth:"...I appreciate that very much, Lincoln."

Lincoln:"Well...we still got some seeds to find, let's find them and head back."

Agreeing with him, Beth gently grabs Lincoln off her shoulder and places him on the ground to start looking for some seeds. He walks around for a bit before stopping by a tree. While Beth crouches down to see if she could find some seeds on her own around some bushes, Lincoln picks a few up, seeing them glowing lime green.

Lincoln:"Hmm. I wonder if these will be okay."

Beth:"That reminds me, I wonder how your friend, Ronnie Anne, is doing."

Speaking of whom, the Latino girl comes running their way out of nowhere before running into the back of Beth's right leg.

Lincoln:"Ronnie Anne? What are you doing?"

Ronnie Anne:"Oh, you know, just running away from a psychopath!"

Beth:"What? Tell us exactly what happened."

Ronnie Anne:"I was out looking for some seeds when I met this guy getting some firewood. When I tried to talking to him, he almost immediately lost his cool. Oh, and did I forget to mention he tried hitting me with a log?"

Lincoln:"Say what?!"

Beth:"Can you describe this guy?"

Ronnie Anne:"Uh...black spikey hair, brown jacket, Blue grey button shirt and Grey-beige cargo pants."

Beth:"(growling) Andrew..."

Lincoln:"Andreas' son?! If this is try, we should head back, regroup with the others."

Ronnie Anne:"Agreed. But did any of you found some seeds?"

Lincoln:"I found 10. Beth?"

Beth:"...Give me a second."

Poking a hole into a tree with her finger, out came at least 30 seeds for Beth to collect. Ronnie Anne whatever seeds Beth didn't collect, getting only a handful of 5. Back at the cabin, the girls and the powered kids were waiting around for Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and Beth to come back, when Raine decides to break the ice with Stella.

Raine:"So, how long have you known your boy, Lincoln?"

Stella:"For a while now. He's a sweet boy, but his friends are a little weird though."

Raine:"(looks at NJ) I get that. (looks at Christina) And you? What do you know about the kid?"

Christina:"He...used to have a crush on me."

Raine:"How do you know?"

Christina:"Because he confessed on video...I was burning red for a week."

Raine couldn't help but smirk at that. But then, they feel the ground shaking beneath their feet, and all of a sudden, Beth peaks her head out the opening much faster than usual.

Beth:"We got trouble."

Her sudden appearance startled everyone, but they listened to what she had to say and Lincoln and Ronnie Anne came in through the door.

Beth:"Ronnie Anne just encountered Andrew."

This made the powered kids tense up."

NJ:"(turns to Ronnie Anne) Is this true?"

Ronnie Anne:"Yeah, it's true."

Lincoln"(holds up bag of seeds) On the bright side, we did manage to get 45 seeds for Melody here."

Melody:"(takes the seeds) Thank you."

Jordan:"How'd you guys managed to get so many?"

Lincoln:"You can thank Beth for this."

NJ:"For obvious reasons."

Raine:"Uh, guys? We still have a problem to talk over."

NJ:"I say we go check if he's still there. And if he is, we take him down. He cannot find this cabin."

Lincoln:"We're in."

Jordan:"Count me in too."

Melody:"Same here."

Stella:"Me too."

Raine:"It's settled then. Let's get you guys suited in case things get messy. But, don't complain since we don't got too many weapons here."

Arming themselves as best they can, Lincoln got himself a golf club, Stella had a spiked bat with 15 nails, Raine armed himself with a Beretta 92FS, NJ took a broadsword that coursed with his electricity powers, Ronnie Anne got a silver knuckle duster on her right hand. Melody also took up a sword, a rapier.

Mollie:"Heh. You look like a female musketeer."

Melody:"Shut it."

The last thing they had at their disposal was a broomstick, and Jordan took what she could get. Soon after, they were all armed for battle.

Paige:"Heh. You guys look pretty rad in that gears."

Lincoln:"Thanks."

NJ:"Let's head out."

Christina:"Good luck, you guys."

Beth:"Stay safe."


Back to where Andrew was, he was busy now setting up nine robotic soldiers his father had invented. God knows how, but after Andrew had informed his father of who he had encounter, he sent their Battle Android Troopers, with brown clothing on to hide their robotic features, minus their metallic limbs and helmets, which were made in silver. Their each carried a sidearm pistol and a PK-Machine Gun, customized to be more modern in design. As Andrew activated them, they stood in attention.

Andrew:"Alright, you tin cans. Listen carefully. We are to hunt the kids that my dad's been looking for. If they are in your sights, shoot them. If they fight back...shoot to kill."

The robots acknowledged this information with a salute. Meanwhile, Lincoln and the other had already arrived, with Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, NJ and Raine hiding behind bushes, and Melody, Jordan and Stella hiding behind trees, spread out across the area.

Ronnie Anne:"Alright, we're here. And there he is...now what?"

Raine:"I'm working on a plan. For now, just continue to spy on him, and try to be absolutely silent. We don't wanna attention to our-ACHOO!"

He sneezed, and ironically, it was enough to get Andrew's attention, as well as the attention of his robots.

Raine:"Whoops."

Andrew:"Shoot them!"

The robots opened fired on both trees and bushes as the kids were forced to duck down to avoid being riddled in bullets. But soon after, they realized how big of a disadvantage they were at, and thus, held their hands up in surrender.

Melody:"(nervously) So much for the plan."

Andrew:"What in the...you guys?!"

Seeing the robots point their guns at them, the kids shouted in fear before running away.

Andrew:"After them!"

Ronnie Anne:"Who's brilliant idea was this again?"

All:"(points) Raine's!"

Raine:"(sarcastically) Wow! Thanks a lot, guys!"

They kept on running through the woods, trying to outpace Andrew's troops. That was, until they met a fork in their path, leaving them with three directions to move from.

NJ:"Now what?!"

Jordan:"We need to split up!"

Going with their respective partners, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne, Raine and NJ, Jordan, Stella and Melody all head into different directions. Andrew soon stops at the same fork in the road and looks at all three paths.

Andrew:"Split up and search these paths! (points to robots) You three, with me!"

And with that, Andrew and his troopers all had split up as well, taking three with him as he goes after Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.

Lincoln:"What did we get ourselves into?!"

Ronnie Anne:"You're the one who wanted to help the kids!"

After running through the forest, they soon reach an opening and stop there.

Lincoln:"I'm sorry I got us into this mess. I didn't know something like this was gonna happen."

Ronnie Anne:"Eh. Stuff happens. What can you do? But apologize after we get out of this."

Hearing Andrew coming forced them both to hide behind trees as they waited for him to go away. Seeing no one in his sights peeved Andrew off, as he was getting a little tired of these kids hiding from him.

Andrews:"Cowards, the lot of you."

From where they were hiding, Ronnie Anne didn't take well to being called a coward as she really wanted to bash Andrew's face in. Lincoln, holding his golf club with both hands, was looking a little tense as he really didn't want to die here. They waited while Andrew practically scanned there area.

Andrew:"Hmph. (turns to his robots) You three, stay here. If you see any kids, finish them."

And with that, Andrew left to find the other powered kids. Seeing this as their chance, both kids took a deep breath before coming out of hiding to attack. Ronnie Anne ran up to the first robot and punched it straight in the face with her knuckle duster. Hurt like heck, but it was worth it as the punch was enough to crack the robot's face and have it fall. Screaming in both fear and rage, Lincoln manages to knock the weapon out of the second robot's hands before he swings his club at its head, knocking it down soon after. He wasn't prepared for the third robot, which already had its gun point at him. But before it fire, Ronnie Anne rams her first through its back and out its chest, pulling out a fistful of wiring. As the robot falls, both kids look at its lifeless body and then at each other silent, until Lincoln runs over to Ronnie Anne and suddenly hugs her, practically tackling her to the ground on impact.

Lincoln:"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ronnie Anne."

Ronnie Anne:"(hugs him back) Hmph. It's only natural."

Meanwhile, Raine and NJ were continuing to run while three robot troopers chased and fired at them. Raine fired his own gun while NJ used his sword to send electricity at them. But then, they decided to hold to ground and fight back as Raine disables the first two, leading them both to fight the last one together. Before it could do anything, Raine shoots a hole straight into its head, while NJ cuts its head clean off, then they both kicked its body to the ground and began to walk away as the body exploded behind them. The girls, Jordan, Stella and Melody, were having a little trouble dealing with their share of robots as Jordan seemed to be a bit of a disadvantage, since she only had a broomstick to work with. While she did managed to knock the robot's gun away, she was now forced to block continuous karate chops coming from the trooper.

Jordan:"Should've picked a better weapon!"

Then, with great force, the robot chops the broomstick in half as Jordan falls to the ground. Before it could finish her off, however, Stella's spiked bat was launched into the side of its head and caused it to malfunction before it fell into the ground. Then Stella offers Jordan a hand.

Stella:"That went well."

Jordan:"Yeah. Thanks for the assist."

She picks up what was left of her broken broom and showed it Stella.

Stella:"Hmph. Don't worry, we'll get you a new one."

Jordan laughs at that joke a little. But then, their attention is drawn to Melody, who was fighting two robots at once. She already sliced to their weapons, was countering every move they make and was now beginning to slice their metal shells as Jordan and Stella were wide-eyed by what they saw. Their jaws drop as they see Melody practically chop both robots to pieces like they were nothing. After Melody takes a breath, she looks over to see both girls, still shocked by what they saw.

Melody:"...What? I used to study fencing."

Back to Raine and NJ, there were still walking through the woods, trying to find the others in the hopes of regrouping.

Raine:"I gotta say, the way you wielding your lightning across your sword was pretty cool."

NJ:"And you're not too bad with a gun, I guess."

?:""I was wondering when you to would show."

And it was then that Andrew appeared from behind a tree, having his own gun pointed at them.

Andrew:"You've caused me a lot of trouble. I'm sure dad won't mind if I blow some holes in you."

NJ:"Still tripping over your feet to impress daddy?"

Andrew:"(growls)...What are you even doing out here anywhere?"

Raine:"We were spying on you, and planned to have taken action in case got hairy, like right now."

Andrew:"You should really learn to stop getting into other people's personal business."

NJ:"Then stop getting into ours."

And then, Andrew fumed with anger.

Andrew:"Well then, before we get to it, ya mind telling me where the rest of your buddies are?"

Raine:"You're gonna have to beat that information out of us."

Andrew:"It'll be my pleasure."

Using a sweeping high kick, Raine knocks the gun out of Andrew's hands before he and NJ began to advance upon the guy. But as they had let out a barrage of punches, Andrew dodged all their attacks easily, and even managed to counter a few. Soon enough, he grabs both their first, kicks them both in the chest before jumping, doing the splits in mid-air and kicking them both away.

Raine:"(groans) This guy's pretty tough."

NJ:"We can take him!"

Grabbing his sword, NJ starts to swinging towards Andrew, who has trouble dodging the blade. Pretty soon, he gets cut on his right cheek as NJ backs off, leaving Andrew to growl at his new wound.

Raine:"Struck a nerve, did we?"

NJ:"How about we spoil the rest of those good looks?"

Without a word, Andrew charges at them, knocking down Raine before throwing a whole bunch of punches in his face. Acting quickly, NJ charges up his sword with electricity before sending a lightning slash at Andrew, stunning the psychopath and allowing Raine to escape his clutches. Then Raine picks up a four foot long tree branch and swings it like a baseball bat, slamming Andrew straight in the stomach and making the poor guy fall down.

Andrew:"Ugh...my face feels like it's on fire."

Raine:"Give up."

Andrew:"(gets back on his feet) This isn't over."

Then, Andrew suddenly jumps into the trees and disappears, leaving Raine and NJ there.

NJ:"(sheathes his sword) What a rip-off."

Raine:"Let's go find the others."

Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were running through the woods, hoping to find the others.

Lincoln:"I hope everyone's okay."

Ronnie Anne:"Same here."

It wasn't long before they reunited and were more than happy to see one another.

Jordan:"Thank goodness, you guys are okay!"

Lincoln:"Yeah! You will not believe what we've been through!"

Ronnie Anne:"Did any of you guys have to deal with bunch of killer robots?"

The girls point to where they just dealt with their troops.

Stella:"They're all pretty messed up right now."

Lincoln:"They kinda look like robots I've seen in cartoons."

Stella:"How does Andrew managed to build something like those?"

Raine:"We're not sure. But what matters right now is that we head back to the cabin."

Lincoln:"Agreed."
