The group eventually reunited with each other after a few minutes, and Xinya made sure to take a head count of each group before they settled down a bit.

Soon after they reunited, two heroes suddenly approached them, but unlike most of the heroes on the planet, they weren't being controlled.

The two heroes just happened to be two that most of them were very familiar with: Lee Donghae and Doyoung's older brother, Kim Donghyun.

Not only were they very popular heroes, but they were also high ranked members of the HDJ's division of police.

"Hyung! It is you! And you're alright~!"

Doyoung happily approached his brother, bringing a smile to the older's face.

"It's nice to see you too Dongyoung~. I'm sorry that I had to bring down your ship with all of you in it"

"What seems to be the problem? You wouldn't have went through all of that if it wasn't something serious"

Yuta questioned him.

"Way to stay sharp. But yes, it's something serious. It would appear that there's a criminal among all of you, and it seems that the bastard is hiding from us"

Donghae explained.

"Criminal?! But-"

"Hang on Taeyong-hyung... Xinya, do Another headcount. But this time, make sure everyone member of each team sounds off"

Xinrei ordered his sister, and she complied.

She went down her list again in the order of who they recruited first, starting with Stray Kids. After all eight members confirmed their presence, even Woojin despite him being exiled from the group, she moved on to the next.

After all seven members of ENHYPEN confirmed their presence, she moved on to the next. After all eight members of ATEEZ and all five members of A.C.E confirmed their presence, she moved on to EXO.

She went on down the list of each of the twelve members. But when she got to Kris, there was no answer.

"Kris-oppa??"

She called out for him again, but he still didn't answer.

"Just as I thought. I knew I didn't see him help out earlier"

"Damn brats!!!"

Kris suddenly emerged from the turtle that was still in Xinrei's hands, looking extremely angry.

His hand was encased with bronze, threatening to touch Xinrei to turn him into the material.

"D4C!"

Before he made contact with the boy, Xinrei called upon his Stand and it struck both of his wrists and ankles, making him fall to the ground.

"Your ability is useless if you can't touch anyone with your hands and feet. You should know by now that I can sense any and all danger. If you're gonna run from the law to continue your crimes, at least try to remember what your victim's abilities are before you attack them! YOU DUMBASS!!"

Xinrei angrily struck the older male in the face, causing his nose to bleed.

"Kris is the criminal??! What exactly did he do?!"

Luhan exclaimed, both he and his team appalled at his new behavior.

"Where do we even begin?"

Donghae sighed.
