"Remind me why we bother with this dump."

"Vander said to lay low. Enforcers never come down here, so this is as good a place as any."

"Oh, what's the matter, Mylo? You worried Powder's gonna beat you again?" Claggor states.

"Hey, if she didn't keep fixing these things, I wouldn't keep missing."

"You guys know I wouldn't take you on a job you couldn't handle, right?" Vi asked clearly upset.

"Are you kidding? That was the best job we've ever done. Maybe just don't take Powder next time." Mylo states. With a determine look on her face Powder aims and shoots every target dead center. Powder then walks to play a near by machine. Then hears talking on the outside.

"Tell me where I can fine them." ???

"Topsider business ain't my concern." ???

"It's every one of you trencher's concern now. Give me a name."

Powder with a worried face turns around to look at the group. "Hey, guys? You should see this--"

Then a man flies through the window. Cause the 5 of you to stop what your doing.

"Search them"

Powder walks over slowly to you slowly picking you up. The soldiers walk in gladly the gem you decide was a toy was currently in your pocket a couple of hours ago.

"Go ahead idiot's we have nothing."

Powder looks at Vi then looks at Claggor. Claggor then pulls a lever. And blue lights appear. Powder dashes holding you tight in her arms. Then and enforcer grabs her hair. She hits the button on the contraption and it slams down on the enforcers arm. Vi then grabs Powder by the arm directing her outside. Powder speeds up and pass you over to Vi. Vi holds you with a firm grip.

"Over Here" Ekko says looking at Vi.
Vi grabs the ladder with hand and starts to climb up along with the rest of the crew and then kick the ladder loose.

"You need to hide those crystals."

"Yeah, no shit."

[In the Last Drop]

"We should hit them back. We've got the numbers to beat them." ???

"Yeah let's teach em not to mess with us!!" ???

Everyone in the room said "Yeah".

"You sure that's what you want?" Vander said "We crossed that bridge once before, and we all know how that ended."

"You're just protecting you kids"

"I'm protecting our people. I'd do the same for any one of you. We look out for each other. It's the way it's always been. This will blow over. We just need to stand together."

"The Vander I knew, the one who built the underground, wouldn't be afraid to fight."

"Do I look afraid?"

"No, you look weak."

"Why isn't he doing anything?" Claggor asked.

"We kicked the Enforcers' button with just the four of us. Imagine what th whole of the Lanes could do."

"Jeez, even Powder wants to fight."

"So why aren't we?" Vi starts walking off but sees Ekko not coming along "Spill it, Ekko."

"Well, um, Vander's got a deal with the Enforcers."

"What deal?"

Then the group goes down into the basement and Ekko explains to the group what he saw.
