Later that night...

Everyone has been struck through the heart at the thought of Veld being held hostage by the Second Page so that he can create that super drug.

Owen: "So they must've gotten him while you were getting Makoh."

Rox punches the door.

Rox: "(pissed) They're holding the entire fucking city hostage, and we'll put everyone in danger if we rush in! It's just fucking frustrating!"

Cale attempts to calm her down, but to no avail.

Cale: "I-I know how you feel. It's true that we'll put more than us and Veld in danger, but-"

Lariat: "Then we'll be forced to fight with a carefully thought out strategy."

The sun has already set.

Ariyae: "(yawning) Can this wait until tomorrow?"

Owen: "Yeah. We need time to digest this information."

Lariat: "All you get some sleep. I'll develop the plan."

Rox lets out a sigh.

Rox: "Yeah you're right."

They all head off to bed.

However...

Veld is currently being locked up inside a large bedroom inside of what seems to be a mansion.

Veld: "(sighing) They have me locked up in their special box."

He looks outside, but a 20ft tall, female, Gigas in the red cloak is currently kneeling down to get some intel from an Aqua.

Veld: "Hm?"

He barely cracks the window so he's able to hear.

Aqua: "Yes mistress Niozal. The runaways have been spotted just outside the city."

Niozal stands up, her head just below Veld's window.

Niozal: "(cracking neck) They came straight towards the lion's den."

Veld stealthily closes the window before she notices him.

Niozal: "Then we'll take care of that shrimp afterwards."

Aqua: "W-We still need Joy, Nervousness, a-and Ambition!"

She picks him up by his skull.

Niozal: "Who's in charge here you little bug?"

Aqua: "Y-You are!"

She drops him onto the pavement.

Niozal: "Now go round up my troops. We'll deal with them personally."

She marches off.

Veld: "Th-They're here?!"

He looks underneath his bed.

Veld: "(deep breath) I hope they can forgive me."

He reaches underneath the bed and pulls out a purple, leather case.

Meanwhile...

Rox is currently leaning against the side of the trailer, unable to sleep.

Rox: "(sighing)How the hell are we going to get through a wall like that without killing anyone?"

The ground begins to faintly shake.

Rox: "What's with the ground?"

She awkwardly looks behind the trailer to find a platoon of the Second Page, lead by Niozal, marching straight towards them.

Rox: "AW COME ON!!!!"

She barges in.

Rox: "Wake up! They spotted us!"

Makoh: "(groggy) Huh?"

Rox yanks everyone out of bed.

Rox: "We're under attack! Get off your asses and help me kick some ass!"

Their hearts are struck with a sense of urgency.

Cale: "W-We're on it!"

Ariyae climbs onto the roof.

Owen: "A-Ariyae?!"

Ariyae: "I'm going to help Veld!"

Cale: "B-But we-"

Lariat: "If you and Veld are able to get here and perform a pincer attack, then our odds of victory seemingly double."

Ariyae: "Then I'll make it quick!"

She flies high above the land as the others head out to be greeted by the enemy.

Lariat: "So you're the one in charge."

She notices Ariyae.

Niozal: "So what's your little birdie going to do?"

A gallon of the drug is in her hand.

Owen: "Do you honestly believe that we'd tell you?"

She chugs it down.

Niozal: "Not one bit."

Her body begins to double in size as they ready their weapons.

Makoh: "I-I don't think your giant form can compare Rox."

Niozal stands at 40ft tall and ready to turn the heroes into flesh piles.

Rox: "Just what the hell is that drug?!"

Niozal: "You don't want to know girl."

However...

Ariyae is diving towards the mansion.

Ariyae: "Good thing I had to do a report on Dr. Veld for science!"

Despite the numbers at the trailer, there are still quite a few here.

Ariyae: "Now his bedroom should be right here!"

She hovers in front of the window to find Veld arming himself with a hammer.

Ariyae: "Hey Veld!"

Veld turns towards the window.

Veld: "Isn't that the Harmony I saw this morning?"

He opens the window.

Veld: "Who are you?"

She climbs inside.

Ariyae: "I'm Ariyae and we don't have much time left before Cale and the others end up in a butcher shop."

Veld: "Y-You're acquaintances?!"

She readies her wings.

Ariyae: "Yeah, and were here to get you.!"

She kicks the door down.

Ariyae: "Trust me, we'll explain after were done having a crisis at 1 in the morning."

She heads forward.

Veld: "(awkwardly) I guess I'll take that?"

He follows...

Meanwhile...

The others are being beaten to bloody pulp by Niozal.

Niozal: "Are you willing to give up quietly now?"

Everyone has been thrown into their own personal craters.

Owen: "(coughing, bleeding) No way! We're just warming up!"

Everyone struggles to get back to their feet.

Niozal: "Pitiful, just like your friend."

Lariat: "(in head) The plan will only work if Ariyae and Veld get here in time."

They push their bodies to their limits.

Meanwhile...

Veld and Ariyae have just gotten outside of the mansion after dealing with a couple leftover guards along the way.

Veld: "Finally!"

They can hear something that can only be described as an explosion in the direction of the trailer.

Ariyae: "(awkwardly) Oh shit..."

She looks towards their intended direction.

Ariyae: "Veld, what's your power?"

Veld: "I can create localized earthquakes, why?"

Ariyae: "Then I guess we're good to go. Follow me."

They head off towards the fight.

Fifteen minutes later...

All five of them are tossed into the sky, only to have them plummet to the ground.

Cale: "(struggling) Who knew a Gigas juiced up with this drug could do something like this?"

Niozal: "I did."

They're having trouble just moving their arms.

Niozal: "Now I'll go ahead and bring Lord Lazarus what he deserves."

She menacingly walks up to them as the two secret heroes peek out from behind a nearby building.

Veld: "You weren't kidding."

Ariyae: "Now here's a plan that I came up with in about two minutes."

He looks towards his friends.

Veld: "(deep breath) Lay it on me."

Ariyae: "I'll screw with her sense of balance while you cause an earthquake tht'l leave her stunned."

Veld: "Then what?"

Ariyae: "That's about as far as I got."

Veld: "Hold on a-"

Ariyae makes it so Niozal can barely stand.

Niozal: "So the girl who threw our entire plan into chaos has finally appeared."

Veld: "And she's not alone!"

He slams his hammer into the ground, causing the entire ground to shake uncontrollably.

Rox: "(weakly) What took you guys so long?"

Niozal falls waist deep into the earth, pinning her down.

Niozal: "(struggling) She was out to get Belief?!"

Lariat pours all of his strength into his arms so he can line up the winning shot.

Lariat: "(weakly) That is where your strategy was weak."

Ariyae flies right at Niozal, her bladed wings ready to slice.

Niozal: "(struggling) I still can't get my footing!"

Ariyae slices Niozal's neck as Lariat shoots the wound.

Niozal: "(choking on blood) Y-You sneaky little-"

Veld rushes up to Niozal and readies for the fatal swing.

Veld: "Not sneaky, clever."

Veld swings his hammer like a baseball bat straight into her face, snapping her neck backwards and killing her instantly.

Ariyae: "Now that's what I'd call a finale!"

Everyone else is unconscious.

Veld: "This is all my fault..."

He walks over to them and hoists everyone except Owen onto his shoulders.

Veld: "Can you bring Owen inside?"

Ariyae struggles for a moment, but manages to pick him up.

Ariyae: "I've got him, don't worry."

Everyone heads inside of the trailer...
