“Did they just… disappear?” Wreck asked. He stared at the pile of smoldering electronics now on the floor. “I guess that thing must have shorted out or something.” The rustling of leaves from the trees behind suddenly grabs Wreck’s attention. “Uh, hello?” Out of nowhere, a freezing cold beam hits Wreck’s feet. They freeze into a chunk of ice. | “Did they just… disappear?” Wreck asked.

“Don't struggle,” a menacing voice echoes from the trees, “if you value your life at all.” Wreck forcefully breaks his legs out of the ice and looks around for the source of the sound. Wreck looks over his shoulder, and a tall figure is now standing in the shadows, a rapier drawn. Wreck shakes his head. “I’m no coward, but I’ve had enough fighting for one day!" he yells out. | |||
"I don't need more nuisances getting in my way," he said, grumbling. "Don't make this any more difficult that it needs to me. Either give me everything you possess or die." | "I don't need more nuisances getting in my way," he said, grumbling. "Don't make this any more difficult that it needs to me.

"Tch. Like I said, I've had enough today. Later!" Wreck runs into the bushes, leaving the figure behind. | |||

“Yeah… I mean I guess you’re right. I don’t need him.” He kicked a pebble across the sand. “Alright, look. I installed tracking beacons on those Sol devices. I can tell you where the rest of them are. But only because I want to stick it to Solidus, okay?” Vultro and Raven both nod. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go then.” Raven grabs both of their hands. “Divine… Sol!” In a flash, the group disappears. | “Yeah… I mean I guess you’re right.

Cync raises her nose up in the air. “Tracker, do you smell that? What is that?” Tracker sniffs around a few times before he hits a scent that is evidently not pleasant. “Bloody hell! I know that smell too well. It smells of... burnt plastic and rubber. Pretty common in Techtown, but out here…? “It smells like it's coming from straight ahead,” Cync said. | Cync raises her nose up in the air. “Tracker, do you smell that?

In a large flash, Vultro, Raven, and Lunic appear behind the group. Mac spins around and points his arm cannons at them. “Whoa whoa!” yells Cync. “They’re with us! Vultro, Raven! You’re safe!” Mac puts his arms down and sighs. “And who’s he?” asked Mac, pointing to Lunic. | In a large flash, Vultro, Raven, and Lunic appear behind the group.

You’re safe!” Mac puts his arms down and sighs. “And who’s he?” asked Mac, pointing to Lunic. | ||
“That’s Lunic. He’s technically one of the bad guys, but he’s going to help us out,“ Vultro said. “This is Mac,” Cync said. “He’s going to help us too.” | “That’s Lunic. He’s technically one of the bad guys, but he’s going to help us out,“ Vultro said. “This is Mac,” Cync said. “He’s going to help us too.” “Great!” said Vultro. “Lunic, why don’t you tell us where the nearest Emerald is?” | ||
Lunic pulls out a small device and tinkers with it for a moment. “Actually, it looks like Databyte and Mist are both together right now. Figures, they’re always hanging out when the boss’ not around.” Raven looks over his shoulder. “Where’s Metal Raven. I can take her myself.” Lunic scratches his head. “Oh yeah! She doesn’t need a device so she didn’t take one. I can’t track her with this.” Raven crosses her arms and sighs. | |||
Lunic | "Let’s just get going," Lunic said. "Got it!" Mac said, turning into a lightning bolt and zapping forward. "Well that's new..." Vultro said in surprise. Just as quickly, something throws him off course and causes him to roll on the ground. With a few grunts after he's able to sit up right, he asks, "Wait.... what is your goal and plan again? Sorry, but I just realized I have literally no idea." | ||
" | Vultro frowns as he looks down at Mac. "The end goal is to get off this planet," he said. "To do that though, first we have to save our friends and find the rest of the Sol Emeralds. Right now it's Jenny the Fox and Frankie the Bat that's missing. As for the emeralds, Raven is one of the guardians of the Sol dimension so her not having them is really bad." | ||
"Ah, I see. That makes sense..." Mac stared off into space for a little and whistled before pushing some of his brown hair back. "Random question... can any of you guys sense energy, or Chaos Energy, or Sol Energy or whatever?" | |||
"Jenny can," said Vultro, "but she's not here so I guess that doesn't help." | |||
" | "Well, isn't today your lucky day," Mac said with a wink. He twirled around before flashing a smile. "I've been training my my master Aorki and some of my buds. I can track these Emeralds down easy! Sure, all of your own energy signatures will probably get in the way a little bit, but hey, no pain, no gain, am I right?" | ||
" | "Wow that's awesome!" said Cync. "So you can find Metal Raven for us then?” Vultro asked. | ||
" | "No need," a booming voice echoed. In a cyan flash, Solidus and Metal Raven appear behind the group. "All of my pathetic assistants have failed to collect the emeralds. But it doesn't matter," he said. "I will just have to take them back myself.” | ||
