Meanwhile, back at his secret base, the Huntsman was getting impatient.
"Weather Vane has failed to report" he said "this could mean that something has interfered in the plan."
"Maybe she just got caught up eating" #89 suggested "I know sometimes, when I'm eating a pizza, it's the like the rest of the world don't exist."
"I doubt that happened" Huntsman replied "head to the restaurant and find out what happened."
"As you wish Huntsmaster" #88 replied, with both boys offering salutes. As they turned to go, both ran into each other.
"I can't believe this is all that is left of my once great Huntsclan" Huntsman noted sadly.
While the two idiots picked themselves off the ground, there was a knock at the door.
"Perhaps that's her now" Huntsman said, heading to the door; when he opened it he saw no one, but noticed a large package outside, tied up with a big bow.
"'For the Huntsman'" he read off the large tag "what could this be?"
Pulling apart the bow caused the package to spring open, revealing an unwanted guest.
"Howdy Huntsy, miss me?" Joker asked.
"Like a canker sore" Huntsman replied "what are you doing here?"
"Vilgax heard a bunch of heroes were headed this way and thought you might need reinforcements" Joker explained.
"And so he sent you?" Huntsman asked "what possible use could you be against any heroes?"
"I didn't come alone" Joker replied, stepping aside from the doorway. After he stepped inside, two large, pale skinned men in purple outfits entered.
"Meet my boys, Punch & Judy" Joker said "perhaps these reinforcements are to your liking?"
"This might work after all" Huntsman replied.
Back at the Silver Dragon, the heroes had secured Weather Vane in another room in the building, and were getting ready to meet the other girls. Leonardo had resumed his true form and all the other heroes were dressed in thier costumed, although Jake opted to remain in human form, because of capacity problems.
"I don't think my friends are going to believe it when I tell them what happened" Hay Lin said "and we've seen a lot of strange stuff."
"They'll have to believe it" Leonardo replied "if the Huntsman is after them, we'll need your cooperation."
Soon, the door to the back of the restaurant opened and an attractive blonde girl entered.
"Okay Hay Lin, we're here, what's the big emergency?" Cornelia Hale asked impatiently.
"What's the matter Corny, you get pulled away from a hair appointment or something?" Irma Lair asked sarcastically.
The other two girls, Taranee Cook & Will Vandom then arrived; "okay Hay Lin, you mentioned something about an important meeting" Will said.
"Guys, you may not believe this, but these customers are actually superheroes" Hay Lin began, gesturing to the gathered heroes.
"Judging from the weird costumes, I'd believe it" Irma replied.
"Anyway, they have something important to talk to us about" Hay Lin added.
"Hold on, you really expect us to believe that these guys are superheroes?" Cornelia asked "how do we know they're not just really obsessive geeks?"
To the blonde's surprise, Static used his powers to lift up some nearby pots and pans.
"You believe us know?" he asked, with Cornelia responding with a nod.
"So which of you guys is Superman?" Irma joked.
"Okay, you guys appear to be the real deal" Will said, "so, what is it you wanted to tell us?"
Unknown to either of the parties, #88 & #89 were watching things from a nearby window.
"What are they talking about in there?" #88 asked.
"Who cares, we gotta tell Huntsmaster" #89 replied.
As both boys attempted to go, they heard a rustling from the nearby dumpster.
"W-w-what is that?" #89 asked.
"Probably a raccoon or something" #88 replied.
But it was no raccoon; instead, a frog-like creature emerged from the pile of garbage, a tin can in his hands.
"Ahh Blunk find good can today" he said.
Then he noticed the two boys. "Oh hello, who you?" he asked.
"Aaah creepy elf thingy!" #88 shouted, as he and #89 ran off, knocking over a trash can in the process.
"What was that?" Leonardo wondered, after hearing the trash can collapse.
"Oh, it's probably Blunk" Hay Lin explained "he's this little creature from Meridian and he likes to dig around in garbage."
"He's also disgusting beyond all reason!" Cornelia added.
"Your friend Hay Lin briefed on us on what powers you have, and the importance of your amulet" Leonardo explained "our enemy the Huntsman seeks to possess it."
"And as long as Huntscreep has the Seeker, he'll be able to find it" Jake added.
"If you're here to help, we're going to need more information on both your group and this Huntsman character" Will said.
"And don't give us an abridged version" Irma added.
So Leo explained to them about how G.O.O.D formed itself to battle Vilgax and his assemblage of villains.
"So besides the five of us, our group has over a dozen more members" he explained "and we travel around stopping plans for world domination."
"And if Huntsman gets his ugly little hands on your Heart, ain't no telling what problems he would cause" Jake added.
"So we're just informing you ahead of time to keep an eye out" Leo explained "we plan to capture Huntsman before he executes his plans, but we're making sure you know what's going on."
"Thanks, if we see any creepy guys in an animal skull helmet, we'll be sure to avoid them" Irma replied.
"Now that we've settled that, do you think you could get me an autograph from Kim Possible?" Cornelia asked "she's the best, and her fashion sense almost rivals mine!"
"We might be able to hook you up" Gear replied.
"So, now what happens?" Taranee wondered.
"We can't stay here forever" Leonardo explained "our best bet is to return to our room and try to locate Huntsman."
"What about the girls?" Sonic asked.
"We can take care of ourselves" Will explained "after all, it's one against five, and I'm betting this Huntsman guy doesn't have elemental powers."
"He doesn't, right?" Irma asked "because legally, you have to tell us if he does."
"Fine then, we'll seek out Huntsman and stop him before he can achieve his goal" Leonardo replied "don't forget to bring Weather Vane, I bet she'll know where he's holed up."
"I'll get her" Static replied "she's no threat in her current state."
He headed down the hallway to another room and opened the door. Weather Vane was lying on the floor, thrashing and squirming in an attempt to loosen the ropes that had been used to bind her.
"Good news Weather Vane, we're letting ya go" Static told her "well, technically it's into our custody, but still."
Weather Vane uttered a curse at him from underneath the strip of tape plastered across her lips.
"You'll feel better when we get back to the hotel" Static said, hosting her over his shoulder "we've got cable."
When he was done, he headed back to the meeting room, and the heroes headed out the back way (to avoid suspicion).
Unfortunately, if they had just waited, they'd have found Huntsman, as he was watching things from nearby.
"So, the heroes are here, along with the dragon" Huntsman replied, watching through his magic telescope "too bad he left, he's going to miss all the fun."
"Yo, ain't we gonna rescue Weather Vane?" #88 asked.
"After the Heart is mine" Huntsman replied "with its' power, even the American Dragon will be no match for me!"
"Yeah, it'll be all 'give us the amulet, hi-ya' and 'hoo-yah, take that sucker!'" #88 added.
"Not so fast" Huntsman replied "according to my research, the Guardians, the ones who posses the Heart, are very powerful. However, they are only powerful when they are together, and that is a weakness I plan to exploit."
"How Huntsmaster?" #89 replied.
"You'll see" Huntsman replied "you'll see soon enough."
In the next chapter, Huntsman begins his plan of "divide and conquer", while the heroes try to get some info out of their prisoner.
