The eight heroes, alex, Toothdee, nick and Judy were all waiting in a hill overlooking a hunter base. It appeared to be the headquarters for the hunters, their main base of operations. Nick and Judy were examining the fire chi they had.

"So we just plug this into these holes on our gear and we get power?" Judy asked, wondering how exactly they would use the fire chi.

"That's how it works" alex said. "But remember what I told you, it only lasts for a short time."

Nick and Judy had been outfitted with straps that had chi sockets that would enable them to use the fire chi.

"Are we ready to go?" Alex said.

"You bet" Laval said.

"Ok, then everyone chi up!"

The team put the fire chi in the slots on their gear, and they felt energy go through them. Nick and Judy had never felt such power before. Everyone's clothes turned red from the fire chi.

"Rats, this was one of my favorite shirts!" Nick said, "hopefully this stuff washes out"

"Charge!" Alex said.

The team raced forward on their vehicles, right towards the hunter base. The enemies noticed the incoming threat and opened fire. The team bombarded the hunters with relentless fire, and were able to cut through them like a hot knife cutting through ice. Due to the surprise attack, the hunters did not have the time to get their vehicles into working condition, and therefore were quickly wiped out.

Laval, alex, Eris and toothdee went into the hunter base while the rest of the team waited outside to make sure no reinforcements came in, and that the hunters did not get their vehicles operational.

The team entered the building and were met with hunters firing upon them to drive them back. The team took cover and fired back, hitting the hunters that were out of cover, and waiting for the other hunters to pop out of cover so they could be shot.

The team headed forward, when suddenly a metal grate came down from the ceiling, cutting Laval off from the rest of the team.

"Laval!" Alex said.

Then 4 hunters appeared behind Laval. It was two vultures, a massive mammoth named mungus, and the leader of the hunters, a ruthless saber tooth known as sir fangar.

"Well well, look what we have here" sir fangar said.

"Hello Bucky" Laval said, which was his name for sir fangar.

Sir fangar pointed towards Laval and the vultures and mammoth moved to attack. Laval hit the vultures down, then jumped on Mungus and hit him in the head.

But while Laval was distracted with fighting the other hunters, sir fangar snuck up behind Laval and stabbed him with his sword.

" NOO! Laval!" Eris yelled as Laval collapsed to the ground. Sir fangar laughed and him and his hunters left.

"We need to find a way back to him" alex said, as the team continued into the base, trying to find a way to backtrack.

More hunters emerged to stop the team, but they quickly blasted through them. Coming to a garage, alex noticed sir fangar hopping in a saber tooth vehicle. Alex fired at him, but the hunter leader raced out of the garage, broke through the defenses the team outside had set up, and drove off out of sight.

Toothdee recognized that they had to be close to Laval now, and she was right. The group found the lion laying on the floor, Surrounded by blood. Eris raced to Laval's side and tried to comfort him while Toothdee stabilized the lion.

"Alex! Do you read?"

Alex picked up his radio.

"Go ahead"

"It's Judy. The hunters are evacuating"

"Roger that. I need you to call the typhoon for an immediate medivac. "

"Oh no, on it"

This day might not have been a victory, but the team would make sure that the next day was.
