Josh stopped running when he was sure he was about four miles away from Serena. He then sat down on a rock before taking a few minutes to catch his breath.
"Lost her. Good," he said before thinking about Serena's master plan.
Twelve satellites planted all over Mobius. Once all of them are up and running, we're all slaves. I can't let this happen, but I can't do it alone. Looks like I'll have to call on Dad and his team now, Josh thought before getting out a portable communicator, activating it, and looking for the right transmission channel.
"Come on, Josh. I know you'll be calling any second now," Rocket said as he waited for Josh's transmission to be received.
"Dad, come in. Do you read me?" Rocket then picked up the mike next to him before pressing the speaker button.
"Josh, are you okay?"
"I am, but something big is about to go down," Josh replied.
"What is it," Rocket asked.
"Serena is planning to enslave every Mobian by building twelve satellites all over Mobius. I'm not sure if I can destroy all of them before her song can travel across the world, so I need you and Team New Mobotropolis to give me some backup."
"Sally and I will get on it. We'll derail Serena's plan before it goes into effect."
"Thanks, Dad. Be careful," Josh said.
"Same to you, my son," Rocket said before the transmission ended. After he had ended the transmission, Josh turned on the locator signal for his morpher before dropping the scanner and Sound Amplificannon. He then ran off, hoping to find the construction site for the next satellite.
Sorry, Dad, but this has to be done. I hope you can forgive me.
"These were Josh's last known coordinates, Rocket," Frost said as he, Rocket, Sally, and Scorch walked up to the spot he had last seen Josh.
"Right here, Frost? Are you sure," Sally asked.
"I'm positive. He was standing right here when he moved the boulder I was hiding behind with one hand."
"He's telling the truth. I was there when Josh lifted the boulder. I'm a witness," Scorch said.
"See? Scorch knows what he saw," Frost said.
"So you were spying on my son without my consent?"
"Depends. How much trouble am I in?"
"One day suspension from all missions," Rocket said.
"Somebody's in trouble."
"You too, Scorch."
"What'd I do?"
"You said you were a witness, so that makes you an accomplice to Frost," Rocket said.
"Man, I could never do nothing," Scorch said.
"Join the club, bud," Frost said.
"Come on. Josh shouldn't be that far away. Let's go." Sally then walked ahead of Rocket, Frost, and Scorch.
"You're just gonna let her get ahead of us? What the hell, Rocket?"
"Sally's the leader just as well as I am, Scorch. Remember that." Rocket then followed after Sally moments before Frost and Scorch started following him.
"Sally," Rocket called out.
"Over here," Sally said before Rocket, Scorch, and Frost ran over to her.
"What'd you find?"
"Just a tracker with six signals and what looks like something you would invent."
"Let me see that," Rocket said before Sally handed him the Sound Amplificannon.
"Impressive craftsmanship."
"Yeah," Scorch said.
"It seems Josh has inherited my inventive know-how and creativity."
"He did," Sally said as she looked at the scanner Josh had dropped.
"What is that used for," Rocket asked.
"It seems that there are six signals that are being transmitted at this very moment."
"And this was made to track their locations. Josh is definitely my son."
"Now what," Frost asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Josh dropped the scanner so we would find out where he and his friends are and this so we could stand a fighting chance against Serena," Rocket said as he held the Sound Amplificannon.
"Better not to let this go to waste, so we should use to find where Josh went," Sally said.
"Good thinking, Sally. Lead the way." Sally then walked off with Rocket, Frost, and Scorch following close behind. Moments later, Sally, Rocket, Frost, and Scorch had found the origin of the signals.
"There they are," Sally said.
"Who?"
"Manik and Shade are over there by the base of the satellite, Sonia, Josh, and Lara are over there ordering the slaves around, and Dominic..." Sally stopped mid-sentence after finding out where Josh was.
"Josh is part of them now," Rocket asked.
"I'm afraid so, Rocket," Sally said.
