"What are you doing here? Where even is here?" Metal Raven ignores her questions, placing the emeralds back in the bag. "The Sol Emeralds could be of some use yet, even just these five.

"Shoten... crystal?" A loud rumbling occurs that shakes the entire cave. A cold, emotionless voice comes from the darkness nearby. "Metal Raven, I've secured another prisoner. But my sensors show massive volcanic activity is starting. We may want to leave soon." Frankie appears out of the darkness, being thrown to the ground by the unknown figure. | "Shoten... crystal?"

"Aw, poor little Frances the Bat wants to stop me!" Mist says mockingly. "What are you going to do about it?" Raven looks around and notices the familiar ears of Vultro in the corner of the room.

"Whoa! A metal clone of Raven?" he bursts out. "I thought she was making that up." Metal Raven's head snapped towards him.

Even without visible eyes on his face, Vultro could tell Mist was staring right at him. "Do you really think we'd tell you anything about that crystal?"

Metal Raven stifles a laugh. Mist looks up at Metal Raven, and pauses. "Raven! Behind you!" Jenny flips over Metal Raven's shoulder, and swiftly snatches the mysterious crystal from Raven's bag.

As | Vultro jumps and catches the gem out of the air. As he looks down at it in his hands, still angry, it begins to glow green. He begins to feel a surge of energy enter his body.

He looks down in awe at his transformation and then looks back at the crystal with a big smile on his face. "Guys! Guys! I'm just like Super Sonic! Ha ha, look at me! I look awesome!" He turns around, only to be met by a sucker punch straight to the gut. "Not quite Super Sonic, foolish child," a menacing voice says as he falls to the floor. | He looks down in awe at his transformation and then looks back at the crystal with a big smile on his face.

Vultro drops the crystal, and his fur fades back to normal color. The mysterious figure picks up the crystal and inspects it, and Vultro looks up at him. The figure appears to have both the angular face of a wolf, and the distinct large ears of a fox. He stood as tall as Raven, with a mixture of brown and gray fur. | Vultro drops the crystal, and his fur fades back to normal color.

Jenny, off to the side of the room, suddenly gets a tap on her shoulder. She spins around to see Wreck standing next to her. He signals her to stay quiet, and she nods as he tiptoes towards Mist. He glances at Jenny and gives her a signal. He suddenly dashes towards Mist, and Jenny dives towards him as well. Mist turns to block Jenny, and Wreck gets behind him to sweep his legs out from under him. | Jenny, off to the side of the room, suddenly gets a tap on her shoulder.

Wreck then turns to the wolf. "You want some too?" He throws a punch at the wolf, only for his hand to go right through him as he tumbles to the floor. "No use," the wolf says as he grabs Vultro by the neck. He taps the device on his belt and the two instantly vanish in a flash of yellow light. Metal Raven turns and grabs Raven, and they too disappear in a flash of light. | Wreck then turns to the wolf. "You want some too?"

"Raven!" Jenny yelled. "They have Raven, and Vultro, and the emeralds," Wreck says. He turns his attention to Frankie, who is still collapsed on the floor. "Wreck? Wreck!" Cyncatia's voice echoes. She stumbles into the room, out of breath. "What happened?" | "Raven!" Jenny yelled. "They have Raven, and Vultro, and the emeralds," Wreck says.
