Two days after the attack at NASA, Jack convenes a meeting with Sarah and Julian regarding Cade and Luke. He is visibly upset about the events that occurred and looks at the two with disdain.
"Alright, what the hell is going on here? I got a call that our test flight at NASA was canceled and that Samurai and someone that looked like a rocket attacked it and let loose our experiments. Sarah, what the hell is going on?"
"Sir, but you told us that-"
"No excuses! I told you to do everything in your power to kill them and to ensure that no one ever follows us at the forest!"
"Sir, Samurai has considerable help."
"I know, that's why I sent Doug to recruit two people to help us fight these guys. But it looks like they're failing too. Doug, get your ass over here!"
A man wearing a buttoned up shirt and gray pants arrives with a Genesis Driver and a Cherry Energy Lock. He stares at the group with a menacing grin and walks up to Jack.
"Well, who pissed in your coffee?"
"This is not funny Doug. I told you that I wanted to find the best people to help us with our project. But all you got were a bunch of kids who can't even hold their own? Are you kidding me?"
"Don't worry, those idiots will keep each other occupied."
"They better, because if they don't I will have your fucking head!"
"Fair enough. Just know that I don't take kindly to your empty threats."
Doug walks out of the meeting room and Jack focuses his attention towards Julian and Sarah.
"Alright, Julian you go out and kill them. I don't care how you do it just do it. Sarah, I need you to finish up the project so that we can have it online. I don't want any more interference."
"But sir, shouldn't you have me fight those guys?"
"Not yet. But I promise that you will get your chance."
"Well sir, I'm on my way. Do you need me to do anything else?"
"No, but make sure that they don't survive."
"Yes sir."
The three head their separate ways while in the other side of the facility another portal opens and a gargoyle like monster wanders around the room trying to escape.
At the forest, three monsters in red, green and white huddle together preparing their appearance on Earth. They carry out a staff which contains a slot for an unknown lock.
"So Vice, how are we going to do this?"
"Well, let's be clear on this Death. We cannot simply kill the outsiders without a plan."
"I know, but what about those strangers that arrived here? They have absorbed considerable power."
"Yes I know. Death, what about the others? Are the ready just in case we need to go?"
"They are. Dread, Wrath, Fury! Come over here!"
Three other monsters approach them and salute while carrying several fruitlocks.
"Sir, you called?"
"Yes, I need you to prepare for any oncoming war."
"Of course. But what about the fruit?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure we will find it before those bastards do. Now go!"
The monsters all head to the forest while the monster who met Cade and Luke walks away with the knowledge he obtained from spying on their meeting.
Back at the city, Xavier, Russell and Owen are talking among each other about the events that transpired before and commenting on the advent of their powers.
"So, what do we do about those guys?"
"You mean the ones you threatened to kill?"
"Very funny. Look, I don't know them too well and I was not happy that they busted up our dance show."
"Nah, don't worry man. Look, I'm sure if we explain it to them they'll understand."
"Yeah, like that will happen."
Suddenly, the trio confront Cade and Luke who had left the yogurt shop. They stare at each other awkwardly, but Russell breaks the silence.
"So listen, we're sorry for fighting you. We didn't mean it."
"Okay, is that supposed to make it better?"
"No, but just know we're sorry and that we'll help you with the monsters."
"Not me, I don't care about those things."
"Hey X, shut up already. We need their help to fight these things."
"Yeah man, it doesn't hurt to get help."
"Fine, but you're gonna regret this."
"What's wrong with that dude?"
"He's just pissed. Anyways I'm Russell and that's Owen and Xavier."
"I'm Cade and that's Luke."
"Nice to meet you both. Anyways we'll see you around."
"Yeah you too."
They walk away from each other until Matthew arrives speeding up towards the two and heavily breathing.
"Matthew, what happened to you? The last time we saw you was when you were chasing Spike."
"Yeah, I tried to find him but he vanished."
"Alright, so what did you find?"
"You're not going to believe this, but Pantheon is up to something."
"Alright, so what is he up to?"
They are interrupted by Moon Slayer and several Piercers who arrive on the scene.
"Oh great, not this again."
